A44689But what am I?
A44689For what is Christianity but the tendency of soules towards God, through the mediation, and under the conduct of Christ?

A45033O then who is like unto thee, for thou art ever gracious and merciful, slow to anger and of great kindness?
A45033O why Do''st thou recoil within my Breast?

A45033Why art thou loath my heart?
A45033Why stays my Lord?
A45033Yet since with sorrow here we live opprest, What life is best?
A45033for Lord, what is man, or the son of man, that thou regardest him?
A45033hath any thing been done or attempted but what thou knowest of?
A45033how vains his mind?

A23765HOw long shall I seek Counsel in my Soul, and be so vexed in my heart?
A23765Hast thou called me from mine own Country, and from my Fathers house, and now to be forsaken by thee?

A23765Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am weak; O Lord heal me, for my bones are vexed; my soul also is sore troubled; how long wilt thou punish me?
A23765Have pity on me now in the time of mercy, and condemn me not when thou comest to judgment: For what profit is there in my blood?

A23765LOrd, I am not worthy thou shouldest come under my roof; I have sinned, what shall I do unto thee O thou preserver of men?
A23765Lord, how long, how long shall the Wicked triumph?
A23765Lord, who shall abide in thy Tabernacle?
A23765My soul followeth hard after thee, O when wilt thou come unto me?
A23765My soul is athirst for God, even for the Living God: When shall I come and appear before the presence of God?
A23765O Lord God of Hosts, who is like unto thee?
A23765O Lord, what is man that thou shouldest so regard him, as to send thy Beloved Son to suffer such bitter things for him?
A23765O Lord, where is thy old loving kindness, which thou swarest unto David thy Servant in thy Truth?
A23765O Lord, who may abide it?
A23765O Lord, why oppressest thou my Soul, and hidest thy face from me?
A23765O be thou my strength, who am not able of my self to struggle with the slightest temptations: how often have I turned my back in the day of battel?
A23765O blessed Lord, how long shall Christendom continue the vilest part of the world, a sink of all abominable pollutions, which even Barbarians detest?
A23765O where are thy bowels?
A23765Shall I alone be excluded from thy mercy?
A23765Why art thou cast down O my Soul, and why art thou so disquieted within me?
A23765are they all forfeited by one offence against thee?
A23765are they restrained?
A23765canst thou endure to behold it in thine arms into which it now throws it self with all the force it hath?
A23765doth his promise fail for evermore?
A23765hath he in anger shut up his tender mercy?
A23765how long shall my Enemies triumph over me?
A23765how long shall so ungodly a sinner stand in thy Judgment, or such a sinner in the Congregation of the Righteous?
A23765how many of these Sacramental Vows have I violated?
A23765my soul is parch''d and dried up; my spirits are consumed by the heat of thy displeasure; may I not now beg one drop of comfort from thee?
A23765nay, which are not become even habitual, and accustomary to me?
A23765or how shall this spiritual Manna, this food of Angels be given to one who hath chosen to feed on husks with Swine?
A23765shall it expire in cries and tears when it calls for mercy?
A23765shall it miscarry full of prayers and longings after thee?
A23765what is become of thine ancient loving kindness?
A23765who shall dwell in thy holy Hill?
A23765yea, canst thou let it die of love to thee, for that hath brought me thus far to seek thee, and wilt thou suffer it to die at thy feet?
A53685And by whom is this discovery made unto us?
A53685And is not the Aid of the Spirit of God sufficient to enable us hereunto?
A53685And is not the performance of Duties to be regulated according to the supplies of Grace?
A53685And the only question is, What such Persons are to do, in complyance with his Assistance, or what it is that they obtain thereby?
A53685And without an Acquaintance with these things, what are our Prayers, or what do they signifie?
A53685Besides all other Disadvantages which will accrew hereby unto our Souls, who can express the horrible Ingratitude of such a Sin?
A53685But we need not insist on the Commendation of Prayer, for it will be said by whom was it ever discommended?
A53685Can we go from day to day in the neglect of Opportunities, occasions and just seasons of Prayer?
A53685Can we more by any means grieve this Holy Spirit and endamage our own Souls?
A53685Deal thus with thy Governour, Will he be pleased with thee or accept thy Person?
A53685Do others go from day to day in a neglect of this Duty, in their Closets and Families?
A53685For do they not acknowledge that there is a more plentiful effusion of the Spirit on the Church under the New Testament than of the Old?
A53685For how can any man pray, that knows not what to pray for?
A53685For what do we pray for?
A53685For who knoweth what is good for man in this Life, all the days of his vain life, which he spendeth as a shadow?
A53685For who shall assure me that the Persons pretending unto these Duties or Enjoyments are not meer pretenders?
A53685Hath God given unto us the Spirit of Grace and Supplication, and shall we be remiss, careless, and negligent in Prayer?
A53685How shall we answer the Contempt of this gracious Aid offered us by Jesus Christ?
A53685If they are dull, dead and slothful in them, if under the Power of customariness and formality, what issue can they expect?
A53685If they are so, or may be so, what need is there of him or his Work for the Preservation and Edification of the Church?
A53685If you offer the blind for Sacrifice, is it not Evil?
A53685Is not this the worst way whereby we may quench the Spirit, which we are so cautioned against?
A53685Is this a fruit of our own Fancy and Imagination?
A53685Quanta ergo cum reverentia, quanto timore, quantâ illuc humilitate accedere debet, è palude sua procedens ranuncula vilis?
A53685Some have made bold to advance a fond Imagination( as what will not Enmity unto the Holy ways of God put men upon?)
A53685What do we take a prospect and design of in our Supplications?
A53685What is it we desire to be made Partakers of?
A53685Who can express how great a folly and Sin it is, not to be found in the constant exercise of it?
A53685Why should not men use in the Service and Worship of God what God hath given them, that they may be able to serve and worship him?
A53685Will he, saith Job, plead with me with his great Power?
A53685Ye brought that which was torn, and that which was Lame and Sick; should I accept this at your hands, saith the Lord?
A53685and if you offer the Lame and the Sick, is it not Evil?
A53685and shall we be found in the neglect of that Spiritual Aid which is graciously afforded unto us?
A01139And doe not the things that are threatned make hast?
A01139And how should the Lord be intreated of us?
A01139And shall it not find the same entertainment?
A01139And what followeth?
A01139Are not suppliants now the men of his desire?
A01139But to leave them in the pit,( for there they are like to be for us,) what shall wee say of our selves, or what shall wee doe for our selves?
A01139But what is the remedy?
A01139But with woe and griefe of soule we may say, where be the men that stand up in the gappe to turne away the wrath?
A01139Dare man by any other shew his face in Gods presence?
A01139Desireth he not to heare the voice of his own, as much as ever he did?
A01139Did there ever any prevaile with God but in his name?
A01139Fourthly, wilt thou know what is the very best physick?
A01139Further, what canst thou doe for thy family, if famine, fire, plague ▪ or fearefull sicknesse come amongst thē?
A01139Hateth hee not his enemies as much as ever he did?
A01139Have wee not the same command, the same promise?
A01139Have wee not to doe with the same God that heareth Prayer?
A01139If this bee so then of the excellency and efficacy of prayer, why doe not men run to it, and trust to it in the time of need?
A01139Is it not this, for a man to talke familiarly with God as with his friend?
A01139Is not Prayer as powerfull as ever it was to prevaile with God?
A01139Is there any way or accesse but by his name?
A01139Last leaf blank?.
A01139Lastly, what canst thou doe when sicknesse seazeth on the, and death, the last enimy looketh gastly in thy face?
A01139Let every soule then put it selfe to triall upon this point, whither dost thou goe in thy troubles?
A01139What is the cause then the Lord is so farre from us?
A01139What was Moses his best fight when Amaleck charged Israel?
A01139When thy cōscience begins to roare, thy soul to faint, thy state to wast or bee taken from thee by violence?
A01139Whither canst thou goe?
A01139Who is it now, with the Spouse in the Canticles, that laieth hold upon Christ till hee have brought him into his Mothers house?
A01139Who will stay by the Lord as he did, and will not off, nor goe one foote till hee have the Lord to goe with us?
A01139Who, with Moses offereth that violence to God, that God should say to him, let me alone?
A01139Wilt thou know what thou canst doe?
A01139dost thou be take thy selfe to prayer?
A01139dost thou walke with this staffe over the rocky, steep and invious mountaines of thy distressefull troubles?
A01139where is the refuge?
A01139whereon dost thou stay thy selfe?
A01139who is thy shelter in this thy distresse?
A3015816. do you that mock at the Spirit of Christ, think to escape unpunished?
A3015826,& c. And by that means brought such displeasure from God upon them, as to this day is not appeased?
A30158And again, My soul thirsteth for God, even for the living God: When shall I come and appear before God?
A30158And doth this demonstrate the Reformation of your Church?
A30158And how little conscience is there made of Prayer between God and the Soul in secret, unless the Spirit of Supplication be there to help?
A30158And if God''s VVill should be done on Earth as it is in Heaven, must it not be thy ruine?
A30158And yet, dost thou out of thy blasphemous throat suffer these words to come, even, Our Father?
A30158Are there bowels in you that are wicked, and will they be wrought upon by an importuning beggar?
A30158Art thou truly born again?
A30158But if we do not use Forms of Prayer, how shall we teach our Children to pray?
A30158But there is no understanding without the Word; For if they reject the Word of the Lord, what wisdom is in them?
A30158But what would you have us poor creatures to do, that can not tell how to pray; the Lord knows, I know not either how to pray, or what to pray for?
A30158Canst thou indeed, with the rest of the Saints, cry, Our Father?
A30158Canst thou see thy misery?
A30158Did God send his holy Spirit into the hearts of his People to that end, that you should taunt at it?
A30158Did you never reade what God did to Ananias and Saphira, for telling but one lye against it?
A30158Dost thou strive to imitate Christ in all the works of Righteousness, which God doth command of thee, and prompt thee forwards to?
A30158Dost thou study by all honest and lawful wayes, to advance the Name, Holiness and Majesty of God?
A30158Doth thy heart and conversation agree with this passage?
A30158For right Prayer, as it runs onely to God through Christ, so it centers in him ▪ and in him alone; Whom have I in Heaven but thee?
A30158For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of a man that is in him?
A30158Hath God required these things at you hands?
A30158Hath God shewed thee that thou art by nature under the Curse of his Law?
A30158Have not thy groans gone up to Heaven from every corner of thy house?
A30158How much pride also, if enabled with expressions?
A30158I know''t is thus; and so also, doth thine own sorrowful heart witness thy tears, thy forgetfulness of thy calling,& c?
A30158Is God indeed to be dallied with, and will the end be pleasant unto you?
A30158Is he a pleasant Chlld?
A30158Is it not so with you in respect of your beggars that come to your door?
A30158Is not thy heart so full of desires after the things of another World, that many times thou dost even forget the things of this World?
A30158Nay, are not the very thoughts of it altogether displeasing to thee?
A30158Nay, art thou not a desperate Persecutor of the Children of God?
A30158Nay, is it not the mark of implacable Reprobates?
A30158Or, art thou ignorant of these things, and yet darest say, Our Father?
A30158Or, is it not the least of thy thoughts all the day?
A30158Secondly, And dost thou indeed say, Hallowed be thy Name, with thy heart?
A30158Should we pray for Communion with God through Christ; should we pray for Faith, for Justification by Grace, and a truly sanctified heart?
A30158Then would you have none pray, but those that know they are the Disciples of Christ?
A30158There is never a Rebel in Heaven ▪ against God; and if he should so deal on Earth, must he not whirle thee down to Hell?
A30158Thirdly, Wouldest thou have the Kingdom of God come indeed, and also his Will to be done in Earth as it is in Heaven?
A30158This sheweth also the Excellency of the Spirit of prayer: it is the great God to which it retires; When shall I come and appear before God?
A30158What will you do, when God shall come to reckon for these things?
A30158What wilt thou do when thou shalt be damned in Hell, because thou couldst not find in thine heart to ask for Heaven?
A30158Who will grieve for thy sorrow, that didst not count mercy worth asking for?
A30158Why so?
A30158and canst thou come to God as a Member of him?
A30158and dost thou not do the deeds of the flesh?
A30158and yet darest thou say to God, Our Father?
A30158can you not be content to be damned for your sins against the Law, but you must sin against the Holy Ghost?
A30158dost thou see thy self in Christ?
A30158hast thou not cursed them in thy heart many a time?
A30158hast thou received the Spirit of Adoption?
A30158how much hypocrisie, if before others?
A30158is this to serve God?
A30158when for the Doctrine of God there is imposed( that is more than taught) the Traditions of men?
A07678( who in their kinde praise God) and man to dishonour him by vsurping the benefit of rest and sleepe, without acknowledging them his owne gifts?
A07678And admit hee attaine vnto it, is this the happinesse he aymes at?
A07678And did he not confound the ministers of their intended torments in his Iustice?
A07678And hauing spent all, as( in Gods iust iudgment) many of them doe, as daily experience sheweth, what becomes of them?
A07678And how can he acknowledge them his gifts without thankesgiuing vnto him for them, and prayer to him to enioy them?
A07678And how can wee thinke to enioy quiet& rest in safty, if we cal not vpon him, that is our keeper and the giuer of rest, sleepe and health?
A07678And would not all men desire, and couet to bee in his like estate?
A07678But what happinesse is there in any of these?
A07678But what intended he by this his flattery?
A07678Can these men pray for a blessing vpon their vocations and labours?
A07678Dauid a man chosen after Gods owne heart, how was he vexed on all sides, inward and outward?
A07678Did hee perish there?
A07678Did not the powerfull and preuayling hand of God, the Angell of his presence, miraculously preserue them in his mercie?
A07678For example, was not Daniel in a desperate danger, being cast into the hungry Lyons Denne?
A07678How many men yet are there of conceit, that they can pray when they list, and how they list?
A07678How many tryals, crosses, troubles and afflictions, had that most meekest man Moses?
A07678How then can our prayers but bee heard and answered, seeing they proceed from Gods own Spirit, that dwelleth in vs?
A07678Is not this chiefest happinesse to bee accepted of God as h ● s onely Treasure?
A07678Lord thou knowest, hee is enemie to thee, how much more vnto mee?
A07678Nay, can they, or doe they pray at all?
A07678Norden, John, 1548- 1625?
A07678Norden, John, 1548- 1625?
A07678Saint Paul was a man Diuinely qualified, and yet hee accounteth himselfe of the number of them that know not what to pray, as hee ought: what then?
A07678Shall the Parents beare the shame of their Children that kick against all good counsell, and will obstinately run to their owne ruine?
A07678Should reasonable man so neerely resemble vnreasonable creatures?
A07678Should wee not pray at all, because wee know not how, or what to pray as we ought?
A07678The three children in the seuenfold hot Furnace, were they consumed?
A07678The truely faithfull in deed haue a promise, that if they open their mouthes, God will hil them And what is it but to assist them in their prayers?
A07678This being thine owne promise, Lord, and thou knowing my faith( though weake) and my repentance, what should hinder thy mercies in forgiuing my sinns?
A07678Thou art the strength of my life, of whom, or of what, should I be afrayd?
A07678Though to mee weake creature, the night is most dangerous; but that thou art my light and my saluation, what, or whom, therefore need I to feare?
A07678WHat difference doth christian experience find between a carnall worldling, and a man truely fearing God?
A07678What a happy man was Nabuchadnezzar in his glorious palace?
A07678What a miserable man was Iob on the dunghill?
A07678What fruit had they in it?
A07678What greater affliction could befall a mortall man?
A07678What lose then these seeming miserable men, when for their momentanie sufferings, they shall receiue a perpetuall reward?
A07678What then?
A07678Who then, or what shall seperate vs from the loue of Christ, in and by whom wee haue firme hope to attaine vnto this so great happinesse?
A07678Why then shall faithfull men feare or be affrayd at the ● alice, and furious threates of whatsoeuer roaring Tyrant?
A07678Would not all men admire this mans happinesse?
A07678and my sinnes being forgiuen, what should hinder that thy sweet saying ▪ Be thou whole, and I shall be whole?
A07678and what a glorious Monarch was Balteshasher, who feasted one thousand of his Vassall Princes at once?
A07678and what an vnhappy man was Joseph in prison?
A07678doth not like experience tell vs?
A25963Ah God, how great is thy greatnesse?
A25963Ah Lord God, how much better is it thus to have thee, then to have all things out of thee?
A25963Ah Lord God, that art so glorious here in Grace, how transcendently glorious art thou in Glory?
A25963Ah how good is thy great goodnesse?
A25963Ah how low, how low is it, to know any thing but thee, O God?
A25963Ah how sweet a thing is it to serve the Lord?
A25963Ah if I could, if I could, alwaies possesse these, what would I care for them?
A25963Ah if the want of the World be so sweet when in its want we find no want, how sweet then, yea how much sweeter is Heavens fulnesse?
A25963Ah what a most deformable thing is man?
A25963And dost thou find that all that thou dost is nothing to what thou wouldst, and desirest and longest to do?
A25963And if our Joys be so great here on earth, in the midst of fears, Ah how great shall they be in Heaven?
A25963Art thou conformable to Christ thy head, thy husband, thy Lord, and thy King?
A25963Awake, awake, from the dead thou carelesse man, why sleepest thou?
A25963But Ah then how incomprehensible and great is the love of the Creator, for, and unto us his Creatures?
A25963But what is man that he should be clean, and the Son of man that is borne of a woman, that he should be righteous?
A25963Death Ah how comly art thou in the sight of all Gods children?
A25963Dost thou feel thy heart heartily to long for the knowledge of God and all his waies, to love, fear, serve, honour and obey him?
A25963Dost thou much more love heaven for God than God for heaven?
A25963How loathsome, Ah how loathsome am I to my self, and yet not so much by much as I would be?
A25963How much nothing, O Lord, is all other things to thee: And how much above all things, O Lord, art thou to me?
A25963How small a thing, how poor a thing, and how low a thing, is and are all things?
A25963How sweet, O God, Oh God how sweet are thy Sweets?
A25963How weary, Ah how weary am I of my self?
A25963How willingly, ah how willingly would such a one be poor in the world to have and possess these?
A25963If then its best be so bad, what is its worst?
A25963Is Christ better to thee than all things?
A25963Is there nothing in heaven so dear and pretious unto thee as is thy God, thy Christ, nor in all the earth in comparison of him?
A25963We ● e it not, and would it not be much better for me, that I were not, and that I never had been?
A25963What a stinking Carrion is man?
A25963What hath the King more than the beggar, or what is he more?
A25963What is it to have all things out of God, and besides God?
A25963What is my life, or my self, if it be not spent for thee, and what are all my daies?
A25963What, shall we be sorry for that God is so good unto us?
A25963Wilt thou alwaies be comforted and rejoyce?
A25963Wilt thou live eternally?
A25963Wilt thou live happy?
A25963and say, that he doth us too much good; how dare any man choose any condition for himself?
A25963how beautiful, Ah how beautiful is thy beautifulnesse?
A25963how deliciously sweet is thy sweetnesse?
A25963how doth he rejoyce, and leap and skip, and sing for joy, that he is with him alone?
A25963how lovely, Ah how transcendently lovely is thy lovelinesse?
A25963if it s all be worth nothing at all, why wilt thou then be such a fool?
A25963who would not fight for Christ against all his enemies, and adversaries, knowing that they are already conquered and made his foot- stool?
A20731145, The Lord is neare to all that call vpon him: what to all?
A2073115.22, Hath the Lord as great pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as when the voyce of the Lord is obeyed?
A20731And if the righteous scarcely be preserued, where shall the vngodly and the sinner appeare?
A20731And likewise Cyrill, Wilt thou haue mee shew thee what manner of fast thou must obserue?
A20731And shall there be euill( namely of affliction) in a citie, and the Lord hath not done it?
A20731Art thou still addicted to the world, minding and affecting things below, more than the things which are aboue?
A20731Be it that in respect of thy selfe and those that belong to thee thou hast no cause of mourning( as who almost is free?)
A20731Because you aske amisse: and wherein did they aske amisse?
A20731Behold( sayth Salomon) the righteous shall be recompenced, that is, corrected, in the earth; how much more the wicked and the sinner?
A20731But for whose sinnes I beseech you is this publicke judgement laid vpon the land?
A20731But if it begin with vs, what shall be the end of those who obey not the Gospell of God?
A20731But it may be asked, how are we to glorifie God?
A20731But some man will aske, When is this day of affliction, wherein we are to call vpon God?
A20731But what followeth?
A20731But you will say: If our faith must bee grounded vpon the promises of God, what helpe then doth fasting affoord vnto it?
A20731Did Dauid fast and mourne and pray for his enemies when they were in affliction, and doest not thou mourne for thy deare brethren and friends?
A20731Doest thou not flie vnto the Lord by prayer, or if thou prayest, doest thou pray but coldly, and as it were for fashion sake?
A20731First, art thou not yet humbled vnder the mightie hand of God, but continuest still as proud and as vaine as in former times?
A20731For as the sonne of Syrach sayth, He that washeth himselfe because of a dead bodie, and toucheth it againe, what auaileth his washing?
A20731For being demaunded, why his disciples fasted not; he said, can the children of the mariage chamber mourne, as long as the bridegroome is with them?
A20731For their sinnes alone, who haue beene visited, or are dead of the plague?
A20731For what a thing is this, that any deceiuer should abstaine from meats which God hath created, and should grow fat with sinne?
A20731For what are we better for fasting at any time, if we recompence our fasting with fulnesse at other time?
A20731For why( may euery one of vs thinke) doth the Lord forbid me on the day of rest, the lawfull workes of may calling?
A20731Hast thou not yet learned obedience by that which thou doest suffer?
A20731Hast thou not yet learned patiently to beare the crosse,& to repose thine affiance in God more than in the meanes which God permitteth to thee?
A20731Hast thou not yet repented thee of thy sinne, whereby thou diddest prouoke the Lords anger against thee?
A20731Hast thou not yet turned to him that smiteth thee?
A20731In like sort Iames, Is any among you afflicted?
A20731Must I forbeare that which in it selfe is lawfull; and may I doe that which is vnlawfull?
A20731Must I therefore for this time sequester my selfe from my honest businesse, that I may attend vanities or sinnes?
A20731Or doth the Lord enjoyne me rest, because hee is delighted with idlenesse, and would haue me to doe nothing?
A20731Or how canst thou looke that God should heare or regard thy prayer, when thou doest not heare nor regard thy selfe?
A20731Or why doe I cease from mine honest affaires?
A20731What auaileth it to keepe the body emptie from meats, and to fill the soule with sinne?
A20731What then is the spirituall exercise and the inward fast, whereunto the outward abstinence must be referred?
A20731What?
A20731Wherefore haue we fasted, and thou respectest it not, we haue afflicted our soules, and thou regardest it not?
A20731Which promises of God if we can not find in our hearts to beleeue, to what purpose should we pray?
A20731With faith I say in God: for how canst thou call vpon him in whom thou doest not beleeue?
A20731and, that the disposition of our bodie doth much depend vpon our diet?
A20731from companie and delights?
A20731so it is with a man that fasteth for his sins, and committeth them again: who will heare his prayer, or what doth his fasting helpe him?
A72538& yet art thou gored?
A72538And Demitte nobis debita nostra, is our dayly prayer, and who doubteth of indulgēce?
A72538And doth it drawe all men after it?
A72538And first for the manner, how must I call, that I may be heard?
A72538And haue we no reason to feare the Romanists?
A72538And how is he conquered?
A72538And what was Iesus of Nazareth, other then a King, then conquering our enemies for a better world?
A72538And what was Theodosius?
A72538Are the Barbarians abroad, and is the Turke in armes?
A72538Are the Sonne and Moone eclipsed deficient in their light, darke and bloodie?
A72538Are there fearefull thunderclaps making thy wild heart to shake like the wildernes of Cades?
A72538Are there monstrous and vntimely birthes?
A72538Are there new Stars vncoth and vnknowne?
A72538But what may be the different blessings we receiue from God by our prayer?
A72538Doe they blaze in the heauens and moue thee to wonder, what may be the effect?
A72538Haue we no signes in heauen, or prodigies in earth, to moue our repentance?
A72538Innocent heart, against whom hast thou Imagined euill?
A72538Innocent mouth, of whom hast thou spoken euill?
A72538Innocēt hands whom haue ye spoyled?
A72538It shall be, that whosoeuer shall call vpon the name of the Lord shall be saued: who euer prayed and found not the Lord propitious?
A72538Nay Lex Iehoua dormis, O thou law of God?
A72538Sinnes?
A72538Thus infected my deare brethren with sinne, how should wee thinke not to be afflicted for our sin?
A72538Why leauest thou thy country?
A72538Your lippes speake lies, who can be beleeued?
A72538and what sinnes?
A72538and wherunto the Lord hath tyed himselfe by promise for the performance, not for our merit, but for his mercies sake?
A72538and yet are we senselesse of thy suffering?
A72538and yet are ye perced?
A72538and yet art thou spunged?
A72538gracious face,& coūtenance, vpon whom hast thou lowred, and yet art thou spit vpon?
A72538how may I make him to returne my prayers into my bosome, while I double my plaints within my brest?
A72538how may we expect from the Lord either audience or answere, when we pray?
A72538how must I be prepared that I may make the Lord propitious, and readie to helpe in time of need?
A72538if there be no passage for prayer in the day of thine affliction, whither wilt thou turne thee vpon thy tossed bed?
A72538who euer made intreatie vnto his God, and had not a blessing returned into his bosome?
A72538who hath trusted in him and beene deceiued?
A72538why sleepest thou?
A02198Againe do you not hold yt of necessitie/ when you eycommunicate men/ and depose your ministery for not observing yt?

A41125But, canst thou pray and shew that Christ sent thee, and say as the servant, I come from my Master, and he sent me?
A41125Cain his heart grew sad, his countenance fell, he was wroth and disquieted in his minde, and heavily discouraged; why?
A41125Can any man walk as Christ walked?
A41125Did ever any man heare any unreasonable creature groane under sin?
A41125Doe they see Gods presence and countenance?
A41125Doest thou nestle any discouragement in thy heart?
A41125Dost thou not know what will become of thee?
A41125Dost thou pray for grace?
A41125Dost thou thinke to get weeping, mourning, and humiliation for thy sinnes, and then thereby to get the promise to thy selfe?
A41125Examine thy soule then; art thou more and more prepared to pray?
A41125For how can that man prevaile and have power with God that hath no power with himselfe?
A41125Have not I commanded thee?
A41125How came Jacob to prevaile and to have power with God?
A41125How could Jonah say God heard his voice, if he had not known it?
A41125How is that?
A41125How shall they call on him in whom they have not beleeved?
A41125I am sinfull and evill, how can I contend with my Maker?
A41125If Jacob had reasoned I am but dust and ashes; how can I strive with God?
A41125If you should aske the men of the world what the meaning of Gods gracious countenance is, or what they see of it?
A41125Marke then how thou prayest, examine thy heart; dost thou pray to day as yesterday, with no more zeal, nor feeling affection, nor sencible desire?
A41125Men pray coldly and faintly: why?
A41125Must a man alwayes pray?
A41125O what poore incouragements canst thou have, seeing the Lord never tallies downe any of thy prayers?
A41125Quest: How can the soule know whether it speed in Prayer or no?
A41125Secondly, thy praiers are fruitlesse: to what purpose is a beggers begging of an almes?
A41125Sin lay at the dore,( what dore?)
A41125Take a Souldier that fights desperately for his life, with a kill or be killed; he feares nothing; neither Pike, nor Sword, nor Gun?
A41125What is discouragement?
A41125What is the reason of it, but because of these discouragements that men live and go in?
A41125What shall I doe sayest thou?
A41125What?
A41125Why?
A41125Why?
A41125Why?
A41125Why?
A41125Why?
A41125Will he call upon God at all times?
A41125Wouldst thou have a signe?
A41125doe you first think to pray, to mourne, to lament and bewaile your sinnes, to do this and that in turning your selves, and sanctifying of your selves?
A41125hast thou taken from thy recreations, from thy calling to give to it, yea from thy belly and backe, and used all meanes for a prevailing with God?
A41125hath God spoken with a powerfull voice to thy soule to open it selfe wide?
A41125how can the soule know that God heares it?
A41125is it evermore a proceeding praier, that thou doest every day draw neerer to God then other?
A41125is it more and more a backt praier, a fervent and frequent praier?
A41125must a man be alwaies a praying?
A41125seest thou a wicked man go to a good duty, go to praier, do you think that he wil hold out alwaies?
A41125then I should doe nothing else but pray; how then are we to continue our praiers till God heare us, and give the grace that we pray for?
A41125these are good signes of faith: but rotten grounds of faith?
A41125to what end is plowing of thy ground if it be not fallow?
A41125what is a fruitlesse Vine good for, but to be burned?
A41125what is a fruitlesse tree good for, but to be cut down?
A41125when thy plowing is done, to what end is the worke of thy servant, if thy businesse be not done, and dispatched when all is done?
A41125wilt thou carry thy owne sentence of death in thy brest?
A58783And if so, what plainer evidence can be given, that their Prayers were not inspired, but of their own invention, and composure?
A58783What is it that the Scripture attributes to the Spirit in Prayer?
A58783What these advantages to Publick Devotion are, which conceived, or extemporary Prayers pretend to?
A58783Whether Praying in a Form of Words, doth not stint and limit the Spirit of Prayer?
A58783Whether Praying in a Form of Words, doth not stint or limit the Spirit of Prayer?
A58783Whether besides these common advantages publick Forms have not peculiar advantages, which conceiv''d Prayers can not pretend to?
A58783Whether the Use of Publick Forms of Prayer doth not deaden the Devotion of Prayer?
A58783Whether the Use of Publick Forms of Prayer, be not a sinful neglect of the Ministerial Gift of Prayer?
A58783Whether the Use of Publick Forms, be not a sinful neglect of the Ministerial Gift of Prayer?
A58783Whether the common wants of Christian Congregations may not be better represented in conceiv''d Prayer, than in a Form of Prayer?
A58783Whether the constant Use of the same Form of Prayer, doth not very much deaden the Devotion of Prayer?
A58783Whether there are not sundry advantages of publick Devotion peculiar to Forms of Prayer, which conceived Prayers can not pretend to?
A58783Whether there be any warrant for Forms of Prayer, either in Scripture, or pure Antiquity?
A58783Whether this be not so, I appeal to our Brethren themselves, and to all the World?
A58783Whether, supposing Forms to be lawful, the imposition of them can be lawfully compli''d with?
A58783and if now there be no such thing as immediate inspiration of Prayer, how can it be limited by a Form of Prayer?
A58783and may not his affections which were before asleep, be awakened by the sound of his words in either?
A58783are they accountable for their Ministers faults?
A58783if so, then''t is not to attend to the acts of Prayer, or is it to attend to those acts which are the proper business of Prayer?
A58783is it to attend to the words and phrases?
A58783may not a man pray inconsiderately, and suffer his tongue, to run before his heart in both?
A58783or what reason can be assign''d, why the affection may not follow the words, and be excited by them in the one, as well as in the other?
A58783or will God reject their sincere Devotions, because the Person that utters them is guilty of a sinful omission?
A67898And first I consider that the true state of the Question is onely this, Whether it is better to pray to God with consideration or without?
A67898And if in publike prayers, is not the liberty of the spirit, sufficiently preserved in that the publicke spirit is free?
A67898And if patternes, the neerer we draw to our example, are not the imitations and representments the better?
A67898And if so, whether also it must be in publike prayer, and will it not suffice that it be in private?
A67898And now after all this strife, what harme is there in restraining the spirit in the present sense?
A67898And this is exactly the Doctrine I plainly gather from the objected words of Saint Paul,( The spirit helpeth our infirmities) How so?
A67898And what then if we took the samplers themselves, is there any imperfection in them, and can we mend them and correct Magnificat?
A67898But if it be not t ● ue, what meanes Saint Paul, by saying The spirits of the prophets must be subject to the Prophets?
A67898But lastly, how if the spirit must be restrained, and that by precept Apostolica ● l?
A67898But what then?
A67898But what?
A67898Dare any man with his gift of Prayer pretend, that he can ex ● tempore or by study make better?
A67898Does it not appoint every thing but the words?
A67898Does not the Directory that thing which is here called restraining of the spirit?
A67898Doth not the Minister confine and restraine the spirit of the Lords People, when they are tyed to his forme?
A67898For can any man be so weak as to imagine a despite is done to the spirit of grace, when those gifts to his Church are used regularly and by order?
A67898For what thinke we?
A67898For why are not the Ministers to be left as well to their liberty in making their Prayers as their Sermons?
A67898If the spirit must be at liberty, who shall assure us this liberty must be in formes of prayer?
A67898If these things be in the greene tree, what will be done in the dry?
A67898If they can pr ● y with the spirit, why also do they not preach with the spirit?
A67898Is God b ● tter served?
A67898Is it not a restraint of the Spirit to sing a Psalme in meeter by appointment?
A67898Is not this to be partiall in judgement, and inconsiderate of what wee doe?
A67898Lastly, did not the Penmen of the Scripture, write the Epistles and Gospels respectively all by the Spirit?
A67898Now I desire it may be considered sadly and seriously: Is it not as much injury to the spirit to restraine his mat ● er, as to appoint his words?
A67898Or is the Spirit departed from him, upon the sight of a pen and Ink- horne?
A67898Or will it be denyed but that they also are excellent directories and patterns for prayer?
A67898Quis enim discrevit?
A67898Shal the matter of prayers be better in all Churches?
A67898Shall God be better served?
A67898Shall the word of God and the best pat ● ernes of prayers be alwayes exactly followed?
A67898That in the case above put, how shall I or any man else say Amen to their prayers that preach and pray contradictoryes?
A67898What greater restraint then subjection?
A67898What inconvenience in the nature of the thing?
A67898What prohibition, what law, what reason or revelation is against it?
A67898Which is the more considerable of the two, sense or Language, Matter or Words?
A67898Who hath made them of a different consideration?
A67898acquired by humane meanes using divine aids?
A67898whether is the wiser man of the two, he who thinks and deliberates what to say, or he that utters his mind as fast as it comes?

A1961611. and who hath knowne the will of the Lord?
A1961613. said, Knowest thou not, that I haue power to crucifie and to loose thee?
A1961626. yet it is subiect to many infirmities, and weaknesses, when it doubteth of Gods mercies, saying: Will the Lord absent himselfe for euer?
A196168 ● For can a man take fire in his bosome and his clothes not be bu ● nt?
A196169. seeing wisedome, strength, and whatsoeuer good things we haue, it is the good gift of God, as the Apostle tels vs, Quid habes, quod non accepisti?
A1961690. who knoweth the power of his wrath?
A19616As for that prayer that comes onely from the lippes, it may bee said of it, as God spake of hypocrites, Is that the fast that I required?
A19616As the Apostle saith: How shall the vnlearned say Amen to thy thankesgiuing?
A19616Before the Law was giuen, Abraham saith, Shall I speak to the Lord?
A19616But if we aske that question which the Apostle makes, To which of the Angels said he, thou art my Son?
A19616Carest thou not for vs that pertaine to thee, but sufferest vs to perish?
A19616Carne autem hic?
A19616Did I not forgiue thee?
A19616Each King hath not power, as the King of Israel saith: If the Lord do not succour thee, how can I helpe thee?
A19616Giue mee not pouerty, nor riches; but feede me with food conuenient for mee; least beeing full, I deny thee, and say, who is the Lord?
A19616Haue we not all one Father?
A19616How often would I gather you together, but yee would not?
A19616How then is it said to come?
A19616How vnsearchable are his iudgements?
A19616Iesabel had a glorious kingdome, but within a few yeares it was said of her: vbi est illa Iezabel?
A19616If I be your Father, where is my loue?
A19616If our prayer be nothing else but infirmity, as it is for the most part, how great is our infirmity?
A19616If the light that is in thee bee darkenesse, how great is that darkenesse?
A19616If wee can not shift it off from our selues, yet as the Diuell reasoned; Cur venisti ante tempus?
A19616Is any afflicted?
A19616Is there not a God in Israel?
A19616Is this that which God requireth?
A19616Is this to eate the Lords Supper?
A19616Lord, wilt thou that wee command that fire come downe from Heauen?
A19616Now the Apostle meeteth with another difficulty, which is, how we may pray?
A19616Of the secrete will of God that is true which the Apostle saith, Who hath resisted his will?
A19616Quis ostendit nobis bona?
A19616Quoties volui congregarevos,& nolustis?
A19616Secondly, because it may bee obiected, If wee be not able of our selues, from whence then may wee receiue ability?
A19616Secondly, seeing wee know that wee are not in our owne country, wee must say as Absolon did: Why am I come hither, if I may not see the Kings face?
A19616Secondly, touching the question; how Gods will is done in heauen?
A19616Seeing be hath giuen vs his Sonne, how shal he not with him giue vs all things?
A19616So farre ought wee to bee from despising one another, Cur enim non pudeat aspernari fratrem quem Deus non aspernatur filium?
A19616So seeing God taketh vs for his children, how shall hee deny vs any thing, whereby hee may shew himselfe a Father?
A19616So that albeit, in regard of themselues he said, Who is sufficient to these things?
A19616So will the King himselfe tell vs, who of all others seemeth most able to helpe: If the Lord do not succour thee, wherewith can I helpe thee?
A19616Such a man thinkes himselfe to bee absolute Lord, and will say, Who is the Lord ouer vs?
A19616The Spirit maketh intercession for vs, gemitibus inenarrabilibus, Augustine asketh, what gronings are these?
A19616The question is, from whence we may haue it?
A19616Touching the comming of his kingdome, it may be demanded why we pray that it may come to vs, seeing it were meeter that wee should come toward it?
A19616Touching the will of God, it may bee demanded, why wee should demand, and aske this petition?
A19616Vnto these things who is sufficient?
A19616What is more foolish then to aske those things that are in our owne power?
A19616What profite shall we haue if we pray vnto him?
A19616When Christ saith, Beleeuest thou this?
A19616Where is thy brother?
A19616Who durst( saith Cyprian) pray to God by the name of Father, if Christ our Aduocate did not put these words in our mouthes?
A19616Why are wee not ashamed to scorne him to be our brother, whom God scorneth not be this sonne?
A19616Why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
A19616and who hath resisted his will?
A19616are they thine, or mine?
A19616can hee iudge through the darke cloude?
A19616hath God forgotten to be gracious?
A19616he answered, how can I, except I had a guide?
A19616or who was his counsellour?
A19616the cloudes couer him that he can not see?
A19616who to shew the necessity of this word, he saith: How shall the vnlearned say Amen to thy thanksgiuing?
A65798& that within the time you made me believe, when I parted with my mony?
A65798And almost thus far you seem angry too, but is this enough?
A65798And do you think there are not degrees too of rewards in heaven?
A65798Are there not divers kinds of censuring?
A65798Besides, will you deny accidentall rewards in heaven?
A65798But suppose the Affirmative of intermedial Release be in it self true; yet how does it appear to us?
A65798But you say, this Point is not among''em, and I say as tender Points as this, are among''em; What think you of the Assumption of our Lady?
A65798Can a change consist with fixture?
A65798Can none of these words have any other sense, then release before the day of Judgement?
A65798Do we not still fancy such motions, changes, and other operations among Angels as we see here among our selves?
A65798Does not the very Scripture in condescendence to us, use the same method?
A65798For how many things are there written in divers Authors, both ancient and modern, neither believed ▪ nor contradicted?
A65798For this Interrogation, Can not God do it?
A65798Have you sufficiently contributed to the secure disparaging such exorbitances, like a free and zealous Divine?
A65798How must we fairly reconcile the difficulties?
A65798If none, can any sensible man perswade himself, it hath not been the perpetuall doctrin of the Church, so it be in a point necessary to be known?
A65798If that be universally practised, and with such hope, is not this so too?
A65798Is not this case a little too near that unhappy scandal on which Luther took so fast hold that he pull''d down the Churches of whole Provinces by it?
A65798Is this spoken like a Controvertist?
A65798May I not expect you should shew me at least some assurance from the Judg himself, that he wil effectually release me?
A65798Secondly, Are not you oblig''d as well as I, to provide an answer for such a Question?
A65798Uncertain devotions ought not to be divulged, how much less violently pressed?
A65798What of the Spirituality of Angels?
A65798When you bring Fathers against any of them, do you profess they may be easily answer''d by blasted Authors?
A65798and a going on, with being at the end?
A65798and may I not, if you fail in that, charge you with deceiving me?
A65798and that of a Disciple?
A65798is there not the reward of a Prophet?
A65798like a victorious and crowned Champion over Heretiques, and that by weapons out of the Fathers, as you are esteemed, and worthily too?
A65798or if contradicted, both themselves and contradictions generally neglected?
A65798should you not have branded''em particularly and smartly, as being not only( sure even in your own judgment) not good, but abominable& detestable?
A65798what can be possibly more prejudiciall to them that are in the Church, or more scandalous to them that are out of it?
A65798where we are all indifferently concern''d, why do you exact the performance from me alone, as if it were not your duty as well as mine?
A33979Admonishing whom?
A33979And was not that other person who composed the form a person, think we?
A33979And what if they did compile some?
A33979And when they ministred at the altar, their prayers should be directed to the Father,[ what needed this, if their form were set them?]
A33979But 1. can our Reverend Brother think so short phrases or sentences as some of them are, were ever used as the only solemn prayer used at that time?
A33979But doth not this argue that there was then no publick Liturgy?
A33979But must the Minister himself needs use a prescribed form, because his Prayer is common to the people?
A33979But the question is, Whether by stated forms or no?
A33979But thirdly,( saith our Brother) our Saviour gives in the phrase of prayer; but doth this conclude?
A33979But what doth he mean by the Determination of God himself under the Old Testament, and our blessed Saviour in the New?
A33979But what will he say if that Council never made any such Canon?
A33979Can our Reverend Brother think these things were of any early use at Alexandria?
A33979Cyprian saith they pray continually and earnestly, and might they not do so without a book?
A33979Cyprian speaks of solemn Offices[ solemnibus adimpletis] that must be understood of customary forms of Prayer — and why?
A33979Cyprian speaks of solemn things[ Offices he puts in], and are there no solemn things but Prayers made by forms?
A33979Did Saint Peter, James, and Mark, themselves use them?
A33979Does any say, but how will you know the sense of the Scriptures?
A33979Eusebius calleth these constituted prayers; But by whom?
A33979He produceth in the second Century, Ignatius and Justine Martyr; but what say they?
A33979He that asked the question, By what Common- prayer book the Fathers prayed that night when both their books were lockt up?
A33979Here are four forms; how is it possible that he should then use the same syllabical words twice, and yet use all the forms as they lye before us?
A33979How doth this Author know that this Canon was made by a Council at Carthage 1284 years ago?
A33979How is it manifest?
A33979How should this end have been obtained in that corrupted state, but by set- forms of Prayers and Sermons too?
A33979If others might be the Authors, and that 500 years after, how doth it appear that Basil or Chrysostome must?
A33979Is it said, you shall use these words and no other?
A33979Is it so unusual a figure to give the name of the office of a person to the thing that doth that work as effectually?
A33979Is there any Record that they were ever syllabically used?
A33979May not the bell which calls us to a publick assembly, be called our monitor, because it is no person?
A33979No( must they say) Christ did it: Say they so?
A33979Now we read of no Liturgy came down in the days of Pentecost; was it by others that came after them?
A33979Now what doth this Text prove more?
A33979Now when was this?
A33979Only the question is, Where it doth appear that God hath commission''d any thus?
A33979Origen saith they used Prayers appointed; but doth he say the words they should use in those prayers were also set and appointed them?
A33979Our Reverend Brother thinks sine monitore can in no propriety of speech be understood of a form; and why?
A33979Platina saith thus of him, What should I speak more of this most holy man?
A33979Shall these common Petitions prove a hundred years hence, that these men prayed by set- forms?
A33979So then they had a Sermon, and prayers after it; but how doth it appear this was by a form of words from which they might not vary?
A33979There is also mention of Temples, Altars, Incensings for remission of sins; did St. Peter/ or St. Mark( think we) know many such things?
A33979What is all this to our purpose?
A33979What is all this to the purpose?
A33979What is this to the purpose?
A33979What one thing is there in any of these Liturgies, which none but Basil or Chrysostome could be the Author of?
A33979What saith Cyprian?
A33979What say they?
A33979What then?
A33979Who says there were not?
A33979Will they say, but you may be deceived?
A33979[ How could they do that, if the Church had set them their form?]
A33979and had respect rather to his own times than Chrysostomes?
A33979and his monitor who prayeth by his form?
A33979because he saith they were of certain early use in those Churches; how doth that appear?
A33979by Constantine: For whom?
A33979did they think we admonish those not admitted yet into Church, to pray in the solemn Assembly of the Believers?
A33979doth he account 450 years after( when Socrates tells us there were not two to be found speaking the same things in their prayers) early?
A33979doth it therefore follow, that they required all Ministers in their Diocesses to use them?
A33979for certainly if there had, his Chaplains would have used it, as now our Chaplains do to Regiments and Ships?
A33979how are our judgments oft- times bribed by our passions?
A33979nay are there not mute as well as vocal monitors?
A33979or by what rule are we restrained in any part of our Ministry?
A33979or how long shall we have it in any, allowing this principle?
A33979what liberty is left us as to that?
A33979who denies but that a person furnished with the gift of prayer, may pray by a form composed in his own heart?
A33979who made these forms for him, I wonder?
A33979who saith, that when we are to pray for one and the same thing, we may not use the same words which we have before conceived in our own hearts?
A33979who says forms of prayer are sinful in that degree as blasphemy, so that God himself can not legitimate them?
A33979who, or how long after?
A339875: The Archbishop( as is said) asked him, Of what Profession he was?
A33987All this is very true, but what then?
A33987And by and by, the Bishop asks him, if he had no Letters from those of his own Order?
A33987And for what Crime?
A33987And what matters it, if the Argument be new, provided it be an Argument, and be strong?
A33987And why are they necessary for this more than any other?
A33987Archbishop saith, What is that?
A33987B. is no Honest- man, but a Thief, a Murtherer,& c. I wonder what Judge or Justice of Peace would Convent any upon such an Oath?
A33987But besides, what should Commin prove?
A33987But did ever any Divine make Miracles necessary to confirm every Manifestation of the Spirit?
A33987But he goes on:"But, I beseech you, what doth it more bind his Attention to?
A33987But how doth it appear that others have?
A33987But how will he avoid it?
A33987But how will he prove this?
A33987But it may be he will say, There is no Promise of Assistance as to Words in Prayer: What should be the Meaning of that?
A33987But( admitting this, which we freely grant) is there yet no need of the Spirit to bring to remembrance the things we have had of Christ''s?
A33987By what Authority did the Bishop Sentence him to the Pillory, to have his Ears cut off, his Nose slit, and to suffer perpetual Imprisonment?
A33987Can this Soul be thus far in this Particular be influenced, and not influenced, as to Words also expressive of this Desire and Hope?
A33987Christ had undoubted Authority to institute Acts, and Means of Worship for and in his Church?
A33987Do not the Words here follow the Affections?
A33987Do you acknowledge any other Power, save Christ on the Earth?
A33987Have not all Congregations renewed Sins, Wants, and Mercies?
A33987How must the Entry of this be?
A33987How should there be, or what need was there of any Dispute about it, till it came to be universally imposed?
A33987How unreasonable is this for him to say, who will allow the Holy Spirit no Influence, but upon our Affections, exciting and inflaming them?
A33987Is it to attend to the Words and Phrases?
A33987Is it upon the Matter of Prayer?
A33987Is not this very unfair dealing, and an horrible Derogation from the Dignity, and blessed influences of the Holy Spirit?
A33987Or, that Prayers should be made for all Men, as to those things that are the Common Wants of all Men, but no further?
A33987Suppose they do proceed from natural Causes, why may not the Holy Spirit set those natural Causes on work?
A33987The Archbishop asks him, What Gospel he call''d the Holy Gospel?
A33987The Archbishop asks him, What Order was that?
A33987The Archbishop asks, Do you acknowledge any other Power save that of Christ to be on the Earth?
A33987The Archbishop asks, Of what Parish, and in what Diocess?
A33987The Archbishop asks, Vnder what Porrer do you own to bold that Gospel?
A33987The Archbishop replies, Where then I Pray?
A33987The Archbishop saith, Do you not acknowledge, a Defender of the Holy Catholick Faith?
A33987The Archbishops asks, How do you endeavour to make the Church purer, when you neither communicate with Her in Sacraments, or in Prayer?
A33987The Author goeth on telling us, that after some Consideration, he was called in again and asked, Whether he was ever ordained, and by whom?
A33987The Queen asked him, What he had to say against F. Commin, that he suspected him to be an Impostor?
A33987To which the Pope returned, How in the Name of Iesus, Mary, and all the Saints hast thou done so?
A33987Was it his Praying two Hours?
A33987Was not this a great Blockhead, think we for a Iesuite?
A33987We say, who asketh any such Thing?
A33987What Reason can there be assign''d, why those Acts of inward Affections, should not be as intense and vigorous as those that go before them?
A33987What was there now in all this, to prove Faithful Commin a Popish Priest?
A33987What, and whose Cases, or Wants, the Minister is bound to represent or make known to God in the publick Congregations or Meetings of Christians?
A33987What, if some Iesuites have discoursed for this kind of Prayer under the Name of Oratio acquisita, acquired Prayer?
A33987What?
A33987Whether Forms of Prayer be lawful yea or no?
A33987Whether People may join with Ministers using them?
A33987Whether Praying in a Form of Words do not stint and limit the Spirit of Prayer?
A33987Whether supposing them lawful, they may be lawfully imposed on Ministers of the Gospel?
A33987Whether the Use of Publick Forms of Prayer doth not deaden the Devotion of Prayer?
A33987Whether the common Cases and Wants of Christians can be so well expressed in one constant Form, as in a conceived Prayer?
A33987Whether the use of Publick Forms, be not a sinful neglect of the Ministerial Gift of Prayer?
A33987Whether there be any Warrant for Forms of Prayer in Scripture, or pure Antiquity?
A33987Whether there be not more of the Work of our own Spirit in it( which I think no modest Man will deny?)
A33987Why may we not express it by these Phrases as well as those?
A47146Again, Will they not grant that the Spirit helpeth us to conceive Words, at least in Meditation?
A47146And further, The words of these set Forms of Prayer, whence came they?
A47146And how is it multiplied and encreased in Mens Hearts?
A47146And if it be not lawful to pray for Riches, or great plenty of Worldly and Temporal Things?
A47146And indeed a word spoken in season, whether it be in Preaching or Praying how sweet and comfortable it is?
A47146And therefore should not these be helped by hearing or reading set Forms of Prayer, well and Piously composed?
A47146Are they only Spiritual things, and such as belong to the Soul?
A47146But do they not differ originally, as to their very Nature and Being?
A47146But if God and Christ minister Light and Life Immediately unto men, are not all means useless and unnecessary?
A47146But may these drawings and movings be commonly resisted?
A47146But why should the one be killed or choaked more than the other?
A47146By whom doth this Grace or Gift come upon all Men?
A47146Doth not the Spirit operate upon the Understanding, as well and as nearly, and immediately and closely, as upon the Will and Affections?
A47146For what end is it given unto all?
A47146For what man will accept of a Bastard as if it were his own Child?
A47146Give us one Example in another case?
A47146Had the Spirit no influence upon the Understandings of those Men, who conceived them to help and assist them in those Conceptions?
A47146Have not I the Lord?
A47146How Immediately?
A47146How Mediately?
A47146How and after what manner is Prayer to be distinguished?
A47146How can they do that?
A47146How can they do that?
A47146How do they know but some have it?
A47146How do we distinguish it from Reason?
A47146How doth Iesus Christ minister Light and Life unto the Souls of Men?
A47146How doth it get root?
A47146How is Christ Iesus come unto all?
A47146How is Christ and his Grace to be distinguished?
A47146How is he the Resurrection?
A47146How is the Grace or Gift of God conveyed unto Men at first, and how is it received?
A47146How is this Repentance wrought?
A47146How may this other thing be called which is in us, a distinct principle from our Reason as Men?
A47146How so?
A47146If one be in Sickness and Liberty, if one be in in Prison?
A47146Is Iesus Christ himself given unto all Men, or only His Grace?
A47146Is he come outwardly as a man unto all?
A47146Is that Immediately, or Mediately, or both?
A47146Is that our own Natural Reason as men?
A47146Is then the object of Faith God and Christ, as inwardly revealed?
A47146Is this Light and Word God himself?
A47146Is this Principle given unto all men?
A47146May Vocal Prayer in words that are audible to others at some distance, be used in private, when a man is alone by himself?
A47146OF whom have we our Being, our Living, and Moving, and all the good things we enjoy?
A47146Or will they confine us to see Forms of Meditation, as well as of vocal Prayer?
A47146Q But are the Immediate Teachings of God and Christ of absolute necessity unto every man, to give him the True and Saving Knowledge of God?
A47146Q How know we that?
A47146The Lord said unto him, Who hath made man''s Mouth?
A47146They say it ceased with the ceasing of the gift of Tongues and Miracles; but what ground have they for this?
A47146WHat is Prayer?
A47146What Faith then have they, who say, Inward and Immediate Revelation is not the common priviledge of Men, nay, not of the Saints in these daies?
A47146What Rule( or Law) hath God given unto Men, to Serve, Obey, and Worship him?
A47146What are the first beginnings of Gods Work in the Heart after convincement, or enlightening the Understanding?
A47146What are the first things he teacheth in and by this Principle?
A47146What are the things which we are to Pray for as to our selves?
A47146What are these things which we should desire and ask of God by Prayer?
A47146What is Faith?
A47146What is Repentance?
A47146What is next required of them?
A47146What is the first thing required of Men, that they may learn of God and Christ Iesus, so as to become wise through those immediate Teachings?
A47146What is the universal Influence?
A47146What other Names hath it according to Scripture?
A47146What other difference is there betwixt our natural Reason, and this Principle?
A47146What other difference is there betwixt them?
A47146or are they Temporal things also; such as Riches, or encrease of Corn, Wine and Oyl, or Health?
A47146or who maketh the Dumb, or Deaf, or the Seeing, or the Blind?

A49717An proposuisti cum Dei gratia emendationem?
A49717And now, Lord, what is my hope?
A49717Aut quid dicit aliquis, quum de te dicit?
A49717Awake, and be not absent from us for ever: wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgetest our misery and trouble?
A49717But Lord, what is my hope?
A49717But you will say, Do I then compare my self with the integrity of S. Paul and S. Stephen?
A49717Confiterisne?
A49717Credisne?
A49717Cuperesne majorem pro iis amaritudinem sentire, quam sentis?
A49717Deum autem sapientissimum, ut nihil unquam permittat contingere, nisi quum expedit?

A49717Estne peccatum aliquod praeter vel supra caetera?
A49717Estne propositum si vixeris emendandi vitam,& devitandi tum media, tum signa eorum quae hactenus peccasti?
A49717Estne propositum si vixeris judicandi ● e,& vindicandi in teipsum quod deliquisti?
A49717Estne scrupulus aliquis circa ea quae sunt Fidei, vel Religionis?
A49717Et quid dicimus, Deus meus, vita mea, dulcedo mea sancta?
A49717For whom have I in heaven but thee?
A49717For why shouldest thou be as a stranger in my soul, or as a wayfaring man that turns aside to tarry but for a night?
A49717Gauderesne si plures jam haberes quibus remittere possis, quo inde uberius tibi remissio peccatorum tuorum a Deo impertiri possit?
A49717Hast thou forsaken us, O God?
A49717Hoccine sancte promittis?
A49717Illis, qui te quocunque modo laeserint, sicut tibi vis remitti?
A49717Laetarisne& gratias agis Deo, quod in hac Fide natus es, vixisti,& jam morieris in ea?
A49717Lord, I can not name all thy blessings, how shall I thank thee for them?
A49717Mine eyes long sore for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
A49717My tears have been my meat day and night, while they daily say unto me, Where is now thy God?
A49717Non tam bene vixisse te quam oportuit?
A49717O Domine, media vita in morte sumus, unde aut a quo quaerimus auxilium, nisi a te Domine, qui tamen pro peccatis nostris merito infensus es nobis?
A49717O God, who is like unto thee?
A49717O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry with thy poor servant that prayeth?
A49717O Lord God, spare, I beseech thee: who shall raise up Iacob?

A49717Up Lord, why sleepest thou?
A49717Visne hoc illis, qui in te peccarunt, tuo nomine significari; Te illis quantum in te est noxas omnes remisisse?
A49717What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit?
A49717Why art thou so full of heaviness, O my soul, and why art thou so disquieted within me?
A49717and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our Hosts?
A49717imo vixisse te male, saepeque& graviter peccasse?

A49717vel suntne peccata aliqua, quae gravent Conscientiam tuam, ut peculiaris Absolutionis beneficio tibi sit opus?
A49708* O[ most] merciful Father, whither shall I turn my self?
A49708* What art thou, O my God?
A49708And do you desire of God that he also would forgive them?
A49708And do you desire to be freely admonisht of this[ your] promise?
A49708And moreover, that God has the assection of a Father towards us?
A49708And now at last, can you call to mind who these are?
A49708And now, Lord, what is my hope?
A49708And that God being most wise, never will suffer any thing to befal us, but when it is expedient[ to be so?]
A49708And that this sickness or cross which God has now sent upon you, is[ therefore] expedient for you?
A49708And what shall I say, O my God, my life, my joy, my holy, dear delight?
A49708Awake, and be not absent from us for ever: Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our miserie and trouble?
A49708But I hope; and what is my hope, but in thee alone?
A49708But Lord, what is my hope?
A49708But that they come from God, without whose providence no bodie is afflicted with diseases?
A49708But you will say, Do I then compare my self with the integrity of St. Paul and St. Stephen?
A49708Do you call to mind the past years of your life in the bitterness of your soul?
A49708Do you purpose, if you live, to amend your life, and to avoid both the means and[ the] appearances of those sins which you have lived in?
A49708Do you purpose, if you live, to judge[ your self], and[ to] take vengeance upon your self for your offences?
A49708Do you solemnly promise thus much?
A49708For what evil have I not design''d in my heart?
A49708For who is Lord besides our Lord?
A49708For whom have I in Heaven but thee?
A49708For why shouldest thou be as a stranger in my soul, or as a wayfaring man that turns aside to tarrie but for a night?
A49708For with what wickedness am I not defil''d?
A49708Hast thou begg''d pardon for thy offences, and[ hast thou] purpos''d through Gods Grace to amend[ them]?
A49708Hast thou forsaken us, O God?
A49708Hast thou given God thanks for the Benefits[ which] thou hast received?
A49708Hast thou prayed for[ the assistance of] Gods Grace, that thou may''st know thy sins and cast them out?
A49708Have you any scruple about those things which appertain to Faith or Religion?
A49708IF you your self have offended any[ others] do you beg pardon of them[ likewise],[ and desire] that they may forgive you?
A49708Is there any[ particular] sin besides or above the rest?
A49708Lord, I can not name all thy blessings, how shall I thank thee for them?
A49708Mine eyes long sore for thy Word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
A49708My tears have been my meat day and night, while they daily say unto me, Where is now thy God?
A49708Now that I am fallen into such sins as these, who shall raise me up again?
A49708O Lord God of Hosts, how long wilt thou be angrie with thy poor servant that prayeth?
A49708O Lord God, spare, I beseech thee: who shall raise up Jacob?
A49708O Lord, how long wilt thou be angrie with thy servant that prayeth?
A49708O Lord, who is like unto to thee?
A49708O why hast thou broken down her hedge, that all which go by pluck off her Grapes?
A49708Or what can any man say, when he speaketh of thee?
A49708Shall the dust give thanks unto thee, or shall it declare thy truth?
A49708That no sickness or cross comes to any one by chance, or at all adventures?
A49708That you have not lived so well as you ought?
A49708Those matters that are contained in the Articles of[ the] Christian Faith once delivered to the Saints?
A49708Those that any manner of way have offended you, as[ freely as] you your self would be forgiven?
A49708Up Lord, why sleepest thou?
A49708We bestow largely upon thee, that thou mayst become our debtor, yet who hath any thing but of thy gift?
A49708What profit is there in my bloud, when I go down to the pit?
A49708Who can tell how oft he offendeth?
A49708Whom do you chiefly remember[ that you have offended]?
A49708Why art thou so full of heaviness, O my soul, and why art thou so disquieted within me?
A49708Will you have thus much signified in your name to those that have offended you, that you for your part have forgiven them all their injuries?
A49708Would you be glad if you had more[ enemies] to forgive, that so God might bestow on you a more plentiful remission of your own sins?
A49708Would you be readie to forgive them if they had done you more and greater mischiefs?
A49708Would you wish to feel greater bitterness for them than you are now sensible of?
A49708[ And] that you can not be sav''d unless you do believe them?
A49708and are you grieved that you feel no more?
A49708and do you renounce them as none of yours?
A49708and does it also repent you that either you do not know them, or have forgotten them?
A49708and repair the credit of those whom you have injured in their good Name; and that without fraud or delay?
A49708and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our Hosts?
A49708and would you be glad if you felt more?
A49708and would you have thus much made known to them in your name?
A49708nay, that you lived ill, and that you have often and grievously sinned?
A49708or are there any sins that lie heavie upon your Conscience, so that you need the benefit of a peculiar Absolution?
A49708or who is God besides our God?
A49708to what sins am I not inslav''d?
A49708what art thou, I beseech thee, but the Lord my God?
A49708whither shall I flie?
A36933After this, when he went up into a Mountain to pray; What followed upon this?
A36933And how know I but this may be my last day too?
A36933And wherefore this, but to shew us the admirable effects of Prayer?
A36933Art thou a lover, a follower, a procurer of Peace among those with whom thy conversation is?
A36933But how long wilt thou forget me, Lord, for ever?
A36933But then when our past sins are pardoned, where shall we find a Remedy against future Temptations?
A36933But then you will say, Where is there Command for this?
A36933But what is to be done then in this case?
A36933But will the Lord absent himself for ever?
A36933By what Title shall I call thee, or how shall I sufficiently adore Thee?
A36933Dost thou give the worship that is due unto the Creat or, to any of his Creatures, either Saint or Angel?
A36933Dost thou shew forth thy Charity this day in works of mercy to them that stand in need of thee?

A36933Dost thou worship God in or by an image, or any other way which either he hath forbidden, or not commanded?
A36933Doth he hear thee?
A36933For O how many are they on whom the Morning Sun hath shined, that shall not live to see it set?
A36933For ever?

A36933O Most Great God, what shall I say in Thy presence, when I come to pray to Thee?
A36933Or hast thou labour''d to restrain them and quench them in their first beginnings?
A36933Or hast thou pleased thy self either in inventing or spreading rumors of that kind?
A36933Or is he merciful?
A36933Or where should Mercy exercise it self but where there is so much Misery?
A36933Our Saviour kneeled, who knew no sin; and is the posture too low for us, that are nothing else but sin?
A36933Saith the same Father; What can be more holy than he who is admitted to treat familiarly with God?
A36933Sometimes after a more passionate way: How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord?

A36933or what can hinder thee to save the Soul thou camest into the World for?
A36933why art thou troubled about many things?
A099999. and why?
A09999A man must haue a praying time; is it not as necessary?
A09999Againe, if there be an indisposition in me, why do I hazard my selfe?
A09999Againe, on the other side, he hath prayed for such and such things, and yet they haue not bin granted?
A09999Againe, this is another case, what a man is to doe in the private performance of this duty, whether he be bound alwayes to vse his voice?
A09999And if you obiect now, I, but it will cost vs much time to doe this?
A09999And likewise Ezekias, and David, they vse the same Argu ● … nt to God, shall the ● … st praise thee?
A09999Another Case is, what it is to pray in faith?
A09999Another case is whether wee may vse a set forme of prayer?
A09999Besides, doe you not say, when you haue great businesse in hand, that a man must haue a dining time, and a sleeping time,& c?
A09999But may I not stay till I bee more fitted, till my heart bee more softened, and more humbled?
A09999But now you will say this to me,( that may be obiected) why?
A09999But now, if you aske; whether that be sufficient?
A09999But you will say, how shall we be clensed?
A09999But you will say, it may be, God will not accept it?
A09999But you will say; what faith is it then that is required?
A09999But, now, al the question i ● … what thi ● … fervency is?
A09999But, say it bee some ● … 〈 ◊ 〉 noble then that, as learning, and knowledge, yet, what is that to the renewing of Gods image in vs?
A09999But, should the sacrifice be offered without incense?
A09999But, you will say, every man doth so, and how shall we know it?
A09999But, you will say, how shall a man know, when he prayeth to bestow that, which he prayeth for, vpon his lusts?
A09999But, you will say, why may not both bee accommodated?
A09999First, a man is ready to say, what need I spend so much time, and bee so large in the expression of my wants to God, when he knowes them?
A09999For what is our health, but the peace of our humours within?
A09999Hath not the Lord commanded you to pray constantly, at all times?
A09999I can not make them better knowne to him, hee knowes them well enough already, and therfore what needeth it?
A09999I, but you will say to me, if this be required, who shall be heard in his prayers?
A09999If we goe to the Lord, and say, Lord, thou art a father, thou art a Master, thou art a husband, whither should the children goe, but to their father?
A09999If you aske how it can be?
A09999If you make conscience of one commandemēt, why doe you not of another?
A09999Is it not the key that openeth all Gods treasures?
A09999Last of all consider this, when thou commest to offer sacrifice to God, wouldest thou offer that which cost thee nothing?
A09999Let vs draw neere, saith the Apostle, in assurance of faith: but how?
A09999Lord, saith he, shalt thou haue glorie from the graue?
A09999Now do we not need protection from outward dangers, from day to day?
A09999Secondly, put the case it were, yet is it not the greater businesse?
A09999They are written for our learning?
A09999Thirdlie, it will bee obiected, I but, al ● … s, what can the endeavours or the prai e ● … s of a weake man doe?
A09999Thirdly, a man is ready to say againe, but I find many difficulties, how shall I doe to remove them?
A09999This is a thing commonly knowne, you will say, who knowes not that, except we come in the name of Christ, no petition can be acceptable?
A09999What is it to haue Armour, and not to haue it ready?
A09999What is the reason?
A09999What was the reason that he wrestled?
A09999When a man saith thus with him selfe, thus, and thus much good I haue received, at the Lords hands, what though I want such a thing?
A09999Why may wee not say as wel ● …?
A09999Why so?
A09999Why will you not trust God, that goes so much beyond vs, that hath an infinite wisedome, and an infinite power?
A09999Why?
A09999You know, it was Vzziahs fault to offer incense, when it was proper to the Priest to doe it?
A09999You will say vnto me what is this holinesse?
A09999a peace offering: what was that?
A09999and do you thinke, that this is a true sound and hearty profession?
A09999and likewise whether it bee sufficient?
A09999can they change the purpose of Almightie God, if he doe not intend ● … o doe this thing for ● … oe, shall I hope to alter him?
A09999can you expect it at his hands?
A09999doe wee not need to be kept from the inward danger of sinne and temptation?
A09999for who can say his heart is pure, and his hands are innocent?
A09999is not that the way to bring in more ● … in, and to suffer those good things that are in the heart to steale out?
A09999is not that very dangerous?
A09999shall any glory be given thee in the graue ▪ shall we be able to doe any thing for thy honour, when we are dead?
A09999shall we not therfore pray?
A09999what is it that you g ● … by all your labours, and trauailes?
A09999what is our cheerefulnesse, and ioy, but the peace of conscience within?
A09999what though I be prest with such an affliction, and calamitie?
A09999when heaven was shut vp, was not this the key that opened?
A09999when the wombes were shut vp, was not this it that opened?
A09999when thou desirest vvealth, and successe in thine enterprizes, that tend to mend thy state, is it not out of some ambition?
A09999when thou wast earnest for health, was it not that thou mightest liue more deliciously?
A09999whether he be bound alwayes to vse such a kinde of gesture?
A09999whither should the servants goe, but to their Master, to their Lord?
A09999whither should the wife goe, but to her husband?
A09999whither should the wife goe, but to their father?
A09999will a man serue himselfe altogether, to come meerely to aske the thing hee wants?
A09999you know, that desire is condemned, if any man will be rich: is it not a desire of greatnesse?
A63668And now what remains for a poor Penitent to do more, but humbly and earnestly to beg thy Pardon?
A63668And this being so, will thy offended Eather be so rigorous as to require the same payment again?
A63668And what shall I say more?
A63668And what shall become of us before night, who are weary so early in the morning?
A63668And when I consider that I am the chief of Sinners, may I not urge the Father, and say, Shall the very chief of thy business be left undone?
A63668And wilt thou now shew thine anger against a Worm, against a Leaf, against a Vapour that vanisheth before thee?
A63668But if he takes felicity in things of this world, where will his felicity be when this world is done?

A63668LOrd, come away, Why dost thou stay?
A63668Lord, carest thou not that I perish?
A63668Nay, what had become of thine own Disciple who with Oaths and Curses thrice denied thee?
A63668No, let me live in thy sight?
A63668O how easie is it for thee to forgive?

A08279And did not the Angell of the Lord that night destroy one hundred fourescore and fiue thousand men of the Hoast of Ashur?
A08279And did wee not beleeue Gods promises to be Yea& Amen, what necessitie could moue vs to repair vnto him?
A08279And hee that hath but one day of light in seuen, How great is his darknesse?
A08279And his Votaries of pouertie and voluntarie beggerie; are not many of them fit and inclinable to any impious and most treasonable actions?

A08279And will hee not impart his occasions by powring them forth vnto him in praier?
A08279And yet doe they thinke that it is deuotion of such acceptation with God as dischargeth Christian dutie in prayer?
A08279And yet how many are there to be found in these times of common carnall securitie, that do seek their helpe at God, by humble and faithfull Praier?
A08279Are these mens prayers of force to cast downe holdes?

A08279Are these their meritorious workes?

A08279Is this the holy vse that they make of this most sacred prayer?
A08279May we not think that God foresaw him likely to proue too good to goe in and out before so vnthankfull a people?
A08279Nay, though hee pray vnto God, and yet dependeth more, and puts more hope on secondarie meanes?

A08277Alas, to discouer my selfe, when I can not hide my selfe from thee?
A08277And what is this hiding of his Saints, but his continuall watchfulnesse ouer them, and his prouidence in keeping and defending them?
A08277But sith it pleaseth thee to call me, though vnworthy, and to accept me as worthy; how can I but giue all diligence to attend thy call?
A08277By nature, Lord, I sinne: How can I by the same sinfull part, repent of that wherein nature it selfe delighteth?
A08277Did father or mother preserue him?

A08277Lord, what were Abraham, Izaak, Iaacob, Iob, Noah, Lot, Moses, Eliah, or Dauid, though a man chosen after thine owne heart?
A08277Many good men are aduanced to honor and office; To what end?

A25385And lastly( which is not the least of thy mercies) with what patience hast thou waited for my serious Repentance?
A25385And now Lord, what is my hope?
A25385And tell me, if these be not sufficient motives to perswade us to his service, if our hearts be not hardned?

A25385And what shall I now say, or wherein shall I open my mouth?
A25385And what should a Son desire more than the honour of his Father?

A25385Dost thou desire then never to be sad?
A25385Fear ye not me, will ye not tremble at my presence?
A25385For although thine anger against sinners is unsufferable, and who may abide it?
A25385For being uncertain of our dayes, why should we beg bread for uncertain times?
A25385For in death is no remembrance of thee, and in the grave who shall give thee thanks?
A25385For what benefit shall we reap by forgiving our old sins, if we contract new?
A25385For what fruit have I in those things whereof I am ashamed?
A25385For what profit is there in my blood, if I go down into the pit?
A25385For who hath promised thee time to repent How many have been deceived with this vain hope?
A25385For, if thou, so mighty a Lord, hast vouchsafed to love me, poor wretched creature, how should it be, but that I should return love again to thee?

A25385How many souls burn in Hell fire, which have sinned far less than I, and yet I remain alive?
A25385How often hast thou called me with the voice of Love?
A25385How often hast thou terrified me with threats and fears, laying before me the peril of death, and the rigour of thy divine Iustice?
A25385How often have I returned as a dog to the vomit, and as a sow washed, to the myre?
A25385How often( and that justly) mightest thou have withheld thy hand of preservation from me?
A25385How often, O Lord, hast thou turned thine eyes from my sins, and made as though thou didst not see them?
A25385How shall I answer?
A25385How shall I smile thee, O Ephraim?
A25385How strict had my Iudgement been, if thy Iustice had laid hold on me, laden with so many sins?
A25385How then dare I, that am so base and unclean a creature, approach to the Feast of so great a God, and a Lord of so great a Majesty?
A25385How then shall I dare to receive thee, in so desperate and wicked estate?
A25385How then?
A25385I have sinned, what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men?
A25385I have sinned, what shall I doe?
A25385I. have received life, and all the blessings of this life from thee; What shall I render back to thee for them?

A25385If thou be our Father, and we the Sons of God, how great is the honour, that we are as it were Gods?
A25385If thou be our Father, how great is our Hope?
A25385If thou forsake me, to whom shall I flee?
A25385Look at the Generations of old, and see, did ever any trust in the Lord, and was confounded?
A25385May not I much more marvel, that God will not disdain to come and abide in this my poor and wretched Soul?
A25385Miserable man that I am, who shall deliver me out of this body of death?
A25385My soul is very much disquieted within me: How long, Lord, will it be, ere thou look upon me, and deliver it?
A25385Nay, what couldest thou have done more for me, than thou hast done?
A25385Now, having received all these mercies and favours from thee, how have I on my part behaved my self in thankfulness to thee for them?
A25385O Death, where is thy sting?
A25385O Lord, in that day where shall I hide my self from the face of thine anger?
A25385Or shall the dead arise and praise thee?
A25385Or thy faithfulness in destruction?
A25385Or what couldest thou have given me more, than thou hast bestowed upon me, either of blessings of this world, or of the world to come?

A25385Saint Peter cryed out to thee, to depart from him a sinfull man, How then, can I, the chief of all sinners, but tremble at thy presence?
A25385Shall the dust, or they which are dissolved thereinto, before repentance, praise thee?
A25385Shall thy loving kindness be declared in the grave?
A25385Si fidem quis dicat se habere, opera tamen non habeat, numquid poterit fides salvare eum?
A25385So to be affected in our life, that we may often say, and pray, When shall I appear before the Lord?
A25385Solomon, after he had built a Temple to God, reasoned thus, But will God dwell indeed on the Earth?
A25385The people demanding of our Saviour, What they should do to work the works of God?
A25385They say, If a man put away his Wife, and she go from him, and become another mans, shall he return unto her again?
A25385This Faith makes our Prayers acceptable: For( Prayer being the testimony of our Faith) how will our Faith appear, if we doubt in our Prayers?
A25385To whom then will ye liken God?
A25385Usque quo filii hominum?
A25385VVHat am I, O Lord, that I should be so bold as to come near to thee?
A25385VVHo will give water to my head, or tears to mins eyes, that I may day and night bewail my sins and ingratitude against thee, O God, my Creator?

A25385What should I say more?
A25385What thanks shall I render to thee?
A25385What then, O Lord, shall I render back to thee, for all that thou hast done unto me?
A25385What therefore, O my Lord, shall I do?
A25385Where are the Princes of the Heathen?

A25385Wilt thou be secure( say two Fathers?)
A25385Wilt thou break a leaf driven too and fro?
A25385Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead?
A25385With what fervency shall I love thee?
A25385Yet thy mercy towards offenders is unsearchable, and who can find out the depth thereof, or describe it?
A25385and wilt thou pursue dry stubble?
A25385and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?
A25385are they not hence?
A25385blind in judgement, inconstant in his actions, unclean in his desires, and( though small in desert, yet) proud and great in his own conceit?
A25385even of your own concupiscences, which fight in your members?

A58134Why is this Church called holy?
A58134Why should so glorious a person stoop solow as to become man?
A58134how little do you differ from Heathens, though you may carry the name of Christians?
A58134since his Spirit alone can sanctify them, can they help it if they are not sanctified?
A58134you could do more than this for your own pleasure, or for a small profit; and shall not the love of God and your duty to him prevail as much with you?
A20735& c. What is it to come unto God to seek peace without peace?
A20735& c. or that which is to come; With what face can I appear before God guilty of such offenses?
A20735( that is, worldly profit?)
A2073513, 14. for what else doth a man but lie when he speaketh otherwise then he thinketh?
A2073513, 14. to the faithfull; But how shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed?
A2073514, 15.?
A2073518. and the saying of Tertullian, Quid est ad pacem Dei accedere sine pace?
A207352. what hope is there that we will make conscience to speak the truth unto men, who see no further then our mouthes?
A2073525. how shall they escape the curse of God who knowing him do not call upon him?
A2073525. whom have I in heaven but thee?
A207353, 5.?
A207355. but that the importunitie of our prayers prevaileth with the Almighty?
A207356. saith, Many say, Who will shew ● … s any good?
A2073564 7. and staid his hand?
A20735?
A20735?
A20735Again, what more excellent thing can be done on earth then that which is the exercise of the Saints and Angels in heaven?
A20735And hath not the Lord by his mercies invited thee to repentance?
A20735And in this particular; What will it profit us if we shall call upon God?
A20735And so G. Baldwin; Quomodo se audiri postulat ● … ui seipsum non audit& quidloquatur ignorat?
A20735And surely if our Saviour Christ, whose will was pure, said, Not my will but thine be done, how much more ought we so to desire?
A20735And what conceit have they of God, when they hope by such lip- labour to satisfie for their sinnes and to merit eternall life?
A20735And who shall constrain him to shew mercy in softning where in justice he may harden?
A20735Are we stronger then the Lord?
A20735Art not thou God in heaven, so as power is in thine hand which none can resist?
A20735Art thou washed from sinne?
A20735But for what others?
A20735But here it may be demanded, Whether the will of the Lord be alwayes performed or not: and if it be, to what end serveth this prayer?
A20735But is it not lawfull to say sometimes, My Father, My God, and to pray for our selves in particular or for some others?
A20735But it is lawfull to intreat the Saints upon earth to pray for us; why then may we not desire the Saints in heaven much more to pray to God for us?
A20735But there are many who with Balaam desire salvation, but how few that desire the second coming of Christ?
A20735But to what purpose do they flie to other mediatours?
A20735But what a foolish circumstance is this?
A20735But what debters am I to forgive?
A20735But what speak I of men?
A20735But what was the issue of their prayer?
A20735But why may not a set form be used?
A20735But why must not Christians be like the heathen?
A20735But why seek ● … examples?
A20735Can they not be referred?
A20735Consilium meum stabit,& omnem voluntatem meam faciam, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my will?
A20735Do we therefore desire grace in this life or glory in the life to come?
A20735Doth he call thee to repentance to day, If yee will heare his voyce, harden not your hearts?
A20735Doth he call us to triall and affliction?
A20735Doth the Lord bid thee seek his face?
A20735Doth the Lord call thee?
A20735First then it is necessary that he who calleth upon God should be indued with faith: For how shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed?
A20735For as Bernard saith, How shall be please God whom God doth not please?
A20735For how can a man faithfully expect and certainly look for happinesse who doth not also earnestly desire it?
A20735For how should we which were children of wrath dare to call God our Father, or be assured that we be his children?
A20735For if God be on our side, who can be against us?
A20735For if we will not do his will, why should we think that he will do ours?
A20735For is the Lord present at Jerusalem, and is he absent in England?
A20735For what can more become those who by Christs benefit are become priests to offer spirituall sacrifices unto God, then to sacrifice praise unto him?
A20735For what is it which they do heare?
A20735For what will all temporall benefits avail us, if God do not forgive our sinnes, and stablish us by his free Spirit?
A20735For what would it profit us if we could gain the whole world, if our sinnes being not forgiven us, we should be amerced with the losse of our souls?
A20735For when they pray to Saints departed, do they speak unto them as present or as absent?
A20735For who can say that he hath loved and feared God,& c. as he ought, and behaved himself alwayes as in Gods presence?
A20735For whose law reigneth amongst them?
A20735For wilt thou have God mindfull of thee when thou askest, seeing thou art not mindfull of thy self?
A20735For, as Peter hath prophesied of these last dayes, there are come mockers, walking after their lusts, who say, Where is the promise of his coming?
A20735For, as Tertullian saith, petitiones su ● … s quid minùs 〈 ◊ 〉 quàm si in publico orent?
A20735God the Father justifieth and accepteth of us in Christ, v. 33. Who therefore shall lay any thing to our charge?
A20735Gods, or their own?
A20735Gods, or their own?
A20735Hath Christ justified and freed thee from the curse of thy sinne?
A20735Hath the Lord therefore laid any crosse upon thee?
A20735He sheweth no mercy to a man which is like himself, and doth he ask forgivenesse of his own sinnes?
A20735How can the wicked sin, seeing they do Gods will?
A20735How can we desire him ● … isereri, to have mercy on us, when we do not esteem our selves miseri, to whom mercy belongeth?
A20735How dost thou desire that God should heare thee, when as thou dost not h ● … are thy self?
A20735How is God said to be in heaven, seeing he is everywhere?
A20735How shall he please the Father that is angry with his brother?
A20735How shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed?
A20735How shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed?
A20735I have washed my feet; how should I again defile them?
A20735If all things come to passe as God hath willed and decreed, then sinne also: and how then is not God the authour of sinne?
A20735If he that is but flesh nourish hatred, who will intreat for pardon of his sinnes?
A20735If that which the wicked do happen according to the will of God, how can they be said to sinne?
A20735If therefore we shall hate the children of God, how can we call upon him as our Father?
A20735If we run in this race, and faint before we come to the goal, how shall we hope to obtein the garland?
A20735Job 1. and 2. how shall he not heare the cry of his own children?
A20735Knowest thou there is a God?
A20735May not a man therefore require and exact his debts of his debter if he would have God forgive his debts?
A20735May the things which we desire be referred to these petitions?
A20735Moreover, why is speech used at all in publick prayer?
A20735My soul thir steth for God, even for the living God: when shall I come and appear before the presence of God?
A20735Naked we came into the world, and naked we shall go out of it: for what have we that we have not received?
A20735Nonne ipse Pater tuus,& c. Is not he thy Father that hath bought thee?
A20735Now this the Lord may do most justly: For when men have hardned themselves, what should bind God to soften them?
A20735O Lord, why hast thou ● … ade ● … s ● … rre fr ● … thy ● … ayes, ● … nd harden ● … d our heart from thy fear?
A20735Of our selves indeed we are not able to think a good thought, and much lesse to conceive an acceptable prayer?
A20735One man beareth hatred against another, and doth he seek p ● … rdon from the Lord?
A20735Otherwise why doth he not teach us to say, My Father, Give me,& c.?
A20735Pater quid 〈 ◊ 〉 filiis, qui jam 〈 ◊ 〉 quòd pater est?
A20735Potestas, Authority: So faith Jehoshaphat, Art not thou God in heaven?
A20735Prove therefore and examine thy self: God hath bestowed these blessings upon thee, so many, so great: Hast thou been thankfull to God the giver?

A20735The breach of whose law more severely punished?
A20735The word of God, which is his sceptre; do they not suppresse this light of mens souls?
A20735There be many which say, Who will shew us any good?
A20735There be many, saith the Psalmist, which say, Who will shew us any good?
A20735Thou tellest my wandrings: put my tears into thy bottle; are they not in thy book?
A20735To whose government are they subject?
A20735Vis enim Deum memorem tui ▪ cùm rogas, eùm tu ipse memor tui non sis?
A20735We forgive] God alone forgiveth sinnes, how then can we be said to forgive our debters?
A20735What do they lesse in their petitions then if they prayed in publick?
A20735What doctrine do they teach?
A20735What promise can be more large then whosoever and whatsoever?
A20735What reverence is here shewed to the majestie of God, when men presume to babble before him they know not what?
A20735What then, will you say, must we do nothing els in the whole course of our life but pray?
A20735What then?
A20735What use is there of a joyfull sound and not to understand it?
A20735What will it profit us to call upon him?
A20735What will the father deny to his sons, who hath vouchsafed already to be our Father?
A20735Which speedeth better?
A20735Who shall deliver me?
A20735Why call ye me Lord, saith our Saviour, and do not the things which I command you?
A20735Why hidest thou thy face from me, and esteemest me as thine enemie?
A20735Why then may not the Saints in heaven be esteemed intercessours?
A20735Will God heare the cry of the hypocrite when trouble cometh upon him?
A20735Would we, as we pray, do the will of God as it is done in heaven?
A20735Yea, but he is mine inferiour,& c. And what art thou to God?
A20735You see our duty: But what is our practice?
A20735You will say, Doth the tongue edifie no bodie?
A20735ad remissionem debitorum cum retentione injuriarum?
A20735and dost not thou rule over all nations?
A20735and why do the people assemble themselves thereunto?
A20735do they follow the Lambe that have received the mark of the beast, and persecute with fire and sword all true professours?
A20735do they not hide it from the people under a strange language, as it were under a bushel?
A20735for remission of our debts with retention of wrongs?
A20735hast thou been carefull to please him that hath been so gracious unto thee?
A20735hast thou been ready to expose those gifts which thou hast to the glory of God and relief of thy brethren?
A20735hast thou not trusted in thy riches and thine own means more then in the providence and blessing of God?
A20735hath not thine heart been lift up with pride?
A20735if it be to be worshipped, how is it not God?
A20735is it because the mediation of Christ is not sufficient?
A20735is it not lawfull to make long praiers?
A20735nay, Do not I fill heaven and earth?
A20735or hast thou been displeased with thy self when thou hast offended so good a God?
A20735or is it because the Saints are in greater favour with God?
A20735or lastly, because the Saints are more favourable to us then our Saviour Christ?
A20735that our voice onely should make this joyfull sound, and not our heart?
A20735the humble sinner, or the proud justitiarie?
A20735the voice of the mouth or the speech of the heart?
A20735the word of God, or the inventions of men?
A20735ut vox nostra sola jubile ● …,& cor non jubilet?
A20735whence then should I have help?
A20735who would look upon him as an Apostle of Christ and not as Antichrist?
A20735with what affiance can I lift up these cyes unto God, that behold vanities; these hands unto God, that commit such sinnes?
A20735〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉; If it be to be adored, why is it not to be worshipped?
A20735〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉; who will deliver me?
A36465& c. What is it to come unto God to seek peace without peace?
A36465& c. or that which is to come; With what face can I appear before God guilty of such offenses?
A36465( that is, worldly profit?)
A3646513, 14 to the f ● … ithfull; But how shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed?
A3646513, 14. for what else doth a man but lie when he speaketh otherwise then he thinketh?
A3646514, 15.?
A3646518. and the saying of Tertullian, Quid est ad pacem Dei accedcre sine pace?
A364652. what hope is there that we will make conscience to speak the truth unto men, who see no further then our mouthes?
A3646525. how shall they escape the curse of God who knowing him do not call upon him?
A3646525. whom have I in heaven but thee?
A364653, 5.?
A364655. but that the importunitie of our prayers prevaileth with the Almighty?
A364656. saith, Many say, Who will shew us any good?
A3646564 7. and staid his hand?
A36465?
A36465?
A36465Again, what more excellent thing can be done on earth then that which is the exercise of the Saints and Angels in heaven?
A36465And hath not the Lord by his mercies invited thee to repentance?
A36465And in this particular; What will it profit us if we shall call upon God?
A36465And so G. Baldwin; Quomodo se audiri postulat qui seipsum non audit& quid loquatur ignorat?
A36465And surely if our Saviour Christ, whose will was pure, said, Not my will but thine be done, how much more ought we so to desire?
A36465And what conceit have they of God, when they hope by such lip- labour to satisfie for their sinnes and to merit eternall life?
A36465And who shall constrain him to shew mercy in softning where in justice he may harden?
A36465Are we stronger then the Lord?
A36465Art not thou God in heaven, so as power is in thine hand which none can resist?
A36465Art thou washed from sinne?
A36465But for what others?
A36465But here it may be demanded, Whether the will of the Lord be alwayes performed or not: and if it be, to what end serveth this prayer?
A36465But is it not lawfull to say sometimes, My Father, My God, and to pray for our selves in particular or for some others?
A36465But it is lawfull to intreat the Saints upon earth to pray for us; why then may we not desire the Saints in heaven much more to pray to God for us?
A36465But there are many who with Balaam desire salvation, but how few that desire the second coming of Christ?
A36465But to what purpose do they flie to other mediatours?
A36465But what a foolish circumstance is this?
A36465But what debters am I to forgive?
A36465But what speak I of men?
A36465But what was the issue of their prayer?
A36465But why may not a set form be used?
A36465But why must not Christians be like the heathen?
A36465But why seek I examples?
A36465Can they not be referred?
A36465Consilium meum stabit,& omnem voluntatem meam faciam, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my will?
A36465Do we therefore desire grace in this life or glory in the life to come?
A36465Doth he call thee to repentance to day, If yee will heare his voyce, harden not your hearts?
A36465Doth he call us to triall and affliction?
A36465Doth the Lord bid thee seek his face?
A36465Doth the Lord call thee?
A36465First then it is necessary that he who calleth upon God should be indued with faith: For how shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed?
A36465For as Bernard saith, How shall he please God whom God doth not please?
A36465For how can a man faithfully expect and certainly look for happinesse who doth not also earnestly desire it?
A36465For how should we which were children of wrath dare to call God our Father, or be assured that we be his children?
A36465For if God be on our side, who can be against us?
A36465For if we will not do his will, why should we think that he will do ours?
A36465For is the Lord present at Jerusalem, and is he absent in England?
A36465For what can more become those who by Christs benefit are become priests to offer spirituall sacrifices unto God, then to sacrifice praise unto him?
A36465For what is it which they do heare?
A36465For what will all temporall benefits avail us, if God do not forgive our sinnes, and stablish us by his free Spirit?
A36465For what would it profit us if we could gain the whole world, if our sinnes being not forgiven us, we should be amerced with the losse of our souls?
A36465For when they pray to Saints departed, do they speak unto them as present or as absent?
A36465For who can say that he hath loved and feared God,& c. as he ought, and behaved himself alwayes as in Gods presence?
A36465For whose law reigneth amongst them?
A36465For wilt thou have God mindfull of thee when thou askest, seeing thou art not mindfull of thy self?
A36465For, as Peter hath prophesied of these last dayes, there are come mockers, walking after their lusts, who say, Where is the promise of his coming?
A36465For, as Tertullian saith, petitiones suas quid minùs faciunt quàm si in publico orent?
A36465God the Father justifieth and accepteth of us in Christ, v. 33. Who therefore shall lay any thing to our charge?
A36465Gods, or their own?
A36465Gods, or their own?
A36465Hath Christ justified and freed thee from the curse of thy sinne?
A36465Hath the Lord therefore laid any crosse upon thee?
A36465He sheweth no mercy to a man which is like himself, and doth he ask forgivenesse of his own sinnes?
A36465How can the wicked sin, seeing they do Gods will?
A36465How can we desire him misereri, to have mercy on us, when we do not esteem our selves miseri, to whom mercy belongeth?
A36465How dost thou desire that God should heare thee, when as thou dost not heare thy self?
A36465How is God said to be in heaven, seeing he is everywhere?
A36465How shall he please the Father that is angry with his brother?
A36465How shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed?
A36465How shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed?
A36465I have washed my feet; how should I again defile them?
A36465If all things come to passe as God hath willed and decreed, then sinne also: and how then is not God the authour of sinne?
A36465If he that is but flesh nourish hatred, who will intreat for pardon of his sinnes?
A36465If that which the wicked do happen according to the will of God, how can they be said to sinne?
A36465If therefore we shall hate the children of God, how can we call upon him as our Father?
A36465If we run in this race, and faint before we come to the goal, how shall we hop ● … to obtein the garland?
A36465Job 1. and 2. how shall he not heare the cry of his own children?
A36465Knowest thou there is a God?
A36465May not a man therefore require and exact his debts of his debter if he would have God forgive his debts?
A36465May the things which we desire be referred to these petitions?
A36465Moreover, why is speech used at all in publick prayer?
A36465My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A36465My soul thirsteth for God, even for the living God: when shall I come and appear before the presence of God?
A36465Naked we came into the world, and naked we shall go out of it: for what have we that we have not received?
A36465Nonne ipse Pater tuus,& c. Is not he thy Father that hath bought thee?
A36465Now this the Lord may do most justly: For when men have hardned themselves, what should bind God to soften them?
A36465O Lord, why hast thou made us erre from thy wayes, and hardened our heart from thy fear?
A36465Of our selves indeed we are not able to think a good thought, and much lesse to conceive an acceptable prayer?
A36465One man beareth hatred against another, and doth he seek pardon from the Lord?
A36465Otherwise why doth he not teach us to say, My Father, Give me,& c.?

A3397310 In answer to which we first ask, will our conformable Brethren then, when they visit the sick anoint them with oyl?
A339732 By what rule shall that limitation be made?
A339732 Is the gift of prayer onely to be used in temples, that a Layick may not use it in his family, if he hath it?
A339732 Our onely question is, Whether it be in the power of man to suppress the gift of preaching, in a minister of the gospel?
A339732 Whether men can have the gift of preaching that want the gift of prayer?
A3397321 He would know whose Reason must judge in the case?
A339733 Whether supposing Christ did at that time intend it for a form for his disciples?
A3397331 Our Question is not, Whether forms of Prayer be lawful or no in themselves?
A339735 Secondly, Whether any thing can in reason be imagined more conducive to fix the thoughts upon the duty,& God in the duty?
A339739 For a Sixt Answer, we are slightily told by some, That the Church must judge, whether her Ministers have such gift of prayer or no?
A33973And if he go''s on remove him from his station?
A33973And we would fain know, Why the people may not withold their Amen in Prayer, as well as in Preaching, And their faith and Assent in hearing?
A33973And what according to the will of God they may ask?
A33973And when he is preaching doth he not speak in the name of God?
A33973And whether such another learned Topick, will not prove, That all ministers must use the same syllables, words and sentences in preaching?
A33973And whether we have done that or no?
A33973And why none?
A33973And will not then this Argument prove that not onely Liturgies: But the same Liturgies verbatim must be used in all churches to the end of the world?
A33973Are not all the Articles of faith with plentiful Explication, Confirmation and Application of them, conteined in many books?
A33973Are not these subtil ratiocinations, for one to Domineer over his brethren with?
A33973Are therefore forms of prayer in the general necessary to the act as human, or as Religious?
A33973But alas, in stead of it, we have seen continual reason to cry out with Job, How long will you vex our souls, and break us in pieces with words?
A33973But is there any Scripture requireth an obedience to man in all things?
A33973But let us further take notice of some other loose passages in him, and see, whether any thing in them, or in his distinctions will save him harmless?
A33973But shall a contingent danger be pleaded in bar to a duty think we?
A33973But what need here of a form more then the Scripture hath furnished us with, or directed us to?
A33973But whether, No Number of forms are comprehensive of them?
A33973Can this gift, or faculty be used in making good orations& exhortations to the people?
A33973David made some Psalms which were forms of Prayer, but did he make an Act of Uniformity too?
A33973Did Bishop wren think so?
A33973Did ever any say ▪ They were bound to use the Gift of prayer at all times, or onely at all times when they ministred in prayer?
A33973Did the late Bishop of Durham, Dr. Cousins think so?
A33973Doth Mr. Kemp think so?
A33973Doth not every ordinary Reader see the vanity of this Argument?
A33973Doth not the name shew the matter of that book?
A33973Doth the Act of Parliament say so?
A33973Doth their posture do it in prayer,& will not their presence and sitting still, do the same in hearing?
A33973For, 1 Who shall determin what is the Quota pars?
A33973Have not all Divines agreed to interpret it thus?
A33973He thus understands his Lord saying to him, Go and preach, why should he otherwise interpret him, saying to him, Go and pray?
A33973How come we to interpret this thus?
A33973How dare they omit it?
A33973How doth it appear?
A33973How far he may impose or not impose?
A33973How many discourses of late years have we had in Pulpits, pretending to prove, Men have a natural power to things Spiritually good?
A33973How many perfect Satyrs, Raillerys, and Evomitions of the lusts and choler in the Preachers hearts?
A33973How the soul worketh in the use of them?
A33973How was it necessary then?
A33973If it were a standing institution of the gospel?
A33973In what leafe of Scripture shall we find it?
A33973In what things?
A33973Is he not in Christs stead?
A33973Is it not Natural, Rational, Scriptural?
A33973Is it not the very same case as to Prayer, should not he who prayeth petition for such things, as he believeth to be according to the will of God?
A33973Is it not voluntary?
A33973Is not this a just means think we?
A33973Is that the Theme the Apostle is there treating of?
A33973Is there a fear that the minister in Prayer should beg of God something which the people would not have him ask?
A33973Is there in that text a word concerning Prayer?
A33973It not the Apostle both to the Corinthians, and Romans giving Catholick directions?
A33973May one minister say, J. Baptize thee,& c. Another, Let this person be Baptized,& c. A third, Be thou Baptized,& c?
A33973May the Superiours by their command make it sinful for a minister to preach without notes?
A33973May they not complain of him to the officers of the church?
A33973Needs there any more when we come to prayer, then a general composure of our Spirits to seek God for all good things we or others stand in need of?
A33973Nor in our case is it at all necessary to assign the reason, The question being onely about the, Ansit?
A33973Now shall the sins of any rule Superiours conscientious in their Government, to restrain others in what is either their duty or their liberty?
A33973Now whether such ordinary praying would not be our sin, is the matter in question?
A33973Now whether, This use of forms be so or no, is the matter in question?
A33973Or could any one think, That Gods word should set down a certain rule for times and particular places of worship for all churches in the world?
A33973Or shall the sin of another be sufficient to justify our superiour in prohibiting us from the discharge of what is our duty?
A33973Or that is not more then ordinarily versed in the Holy Scriptures?
A33973Or that it hath more beauty in it then would be in a Congregation where all men wear the same coloured clothes?
A33973Or that it is acceptable to him?
A33973Or till he hath written his Sermon Verbatim?
A33973Or whether in neither of them: but such as may both be universally commanded& also used?
A33973Or whether we should lay it upon peoples infirmity, indisposing them to bend their minds so to forms said over& over?
A33973Our question is what is lawful for him that doth not onely worship, but ministreth in worshipping?
A33973Possibly it is not so easy to assign the true reason of this difference, whether it be some secret sympathy of pious souls?
A33973Should not they admonish him?
A33973Sic magnis componere parva solemus?
A33973So as the Question is, Whether the superiours ought to gratify those little persons lusts?
A33973So as the question onely will be, Whether the Magistrate hath not a dominion over his subjects in their private houses and closets?
A33973Such a mean as the servants of God have used?
A33973Suppose he doth not, May not the people at the time withold their Amen?
A33973That we are not justified by the imputed Righteousness of Christ, but by our own works?
A33973The Question is onely, Whether it be lawful for them to whom God hath given the gift of prayer, and a natural freedom to use it?
A33973The Question is whether the use of them bee lawful or no?
A33973The Question stated, What is not the Question?
A33973The Sixth Argument Stated and Justifyed, Whether the precept for ministerial Vocal prayer, includes not the use of our own gifts?
A33973The question is in which order of things, The ordinary discharge of our Ministerial acts in prayer by the prescribed forms of others is?
A33973The question is not whether 12 or 24 forms will comprehend them?
A33973This is most true, and is not the use of a Gift given us by God for that end, a just mean?
A33973Was it a temporary practice?
A33973We answer, 1 Where hath God required the leaving any such Testimony?
A33973We say the church is to prove them, whether they be indeed sent of God, or meerly thrust on by their desire of gain, or love of preheminence?
A33973We would have the reader but consider; Which ought more warily to be done?
A33973Were the Divisions( for a Remedy as to which he gives this advice) about Prayer?
A33973Were this lawful?
A33973What Remedy hath the people?
A33973What an impertinency is it then to urge it?
A33973What follows?
A33973What good things he or others ought to give thanks for,& c?
A33973What if there be a mixture of something else which a Christian can not in his judgment allow?
A33973What is meant by Attention, Intention,& Fervency?
A33973What is the reason?
A33973What is there in that Administration, more then?
A33973What is?
A33973What kind of Divine is he, who knoweth not what God is?
A33973What men have need off both for their souls and bodies?
A33973What shadow is here of different Reason?
A33973What should hinder but that it should be lawful, yea, necessary to yeild a ready, active obedience to it?
A33973What sin is?
A33973What then is the meaning of that?
A33973What those things are or many of them at least, which aggravate sin, and make it more exceeding heinous?
A33973What will he deny then?
A33973Where they lodge?
A33973Whether he who ordinarily doth so, doth his ministerial duty?
A33973Whether it be so or no?
A33973Whether it were to last beyond his Resurrection, and the descent of the Holy Ghost, is yet a farther Question?
A33973Whether the Reason of the Magistrate, or of the people?
A33973Whether they may ordinarily perform the Acts of prayer by the prescribed forms of others?
A33973Whether this be the infirmity of our natures, and if our infirmity, whether our sinful infirmity or no, are not much material to our present question?
A33973Who altered them?
A33973Who ever heard any minister tying himself to the words there?
A33973Who ever saw one form of prayer, or of a Sermon in the Directory?
A33973Why must we think our selves infallible?
A33973Will any say, There was nothing of divine Homage in the High Priests garments which he might never put on but in his approaches to God?
A33973Will they have us restrain our discourse to things in worship?
A33973You may saith Mr. Freeman, And why?
A33973],[ London?
A33973and are not satisfied with our flesh?
A33973and what is Commanded, and forbidden in the law of God?
A33973nay, if his own lusts so incline him, why he may not spend the whole week at an alehouse, and be ready too for his work on the Lords day?
A33973or have they any Rubrick for that?
A33973or under what name to speak unto him?
A33973that will not most freely grant all this?
A33973we have granted them lawful and expedient to be used where the persons to minister have not the Gift of Prayer, or want a natural liberty to use it?
A65777After this can I love any thing but my Lord JESUS CHRIST?
A65777Alas, I who was not, what could I love?
A65777Alas, what do I talk of Men?
A65777And by what vertue think we, is this strange wonder wrought, but that musick is to our inward, as dancing or running to our outward parts?
A65777And canst thou, my Soul, after this, think any Crosse heavy, and affliction hard to endure?
A65777And do you think God is displeased so highly with you, your self using all this care and diligence?
A65777And do you think that the common desire of Knowing is a Passion of so triviall a consequence?
A65777And how far reaches this operation?
A65777And if the very next Aire to that which enters into your body be different, can that which enters be the same?
A65777And if we love any thing more then it is amiable, do you think that love is reasonable?
A65777And is it not reasonable that every lovely thing should be lov''d?
A65777And is this more, perhaps, then that thy immortall flesh should nourish my mortall Carcase?
A65777And when these things are in their perfection, can you tell what it is that therein delights you?
A65777And why all this; this ingenious cruelty, to disguise a poor Man into so monstrous an Object of disdainfull Malice?
A65777And why do you not mention too the feign''d Histories& Romances which the world is full of?
A65777And why do you not reflect that Celestiall spirits are able to attend all things at once?
A65777And why( if you have reflected upon it) is it troublesome to have overhearers of your discourse?
A65777Are heavenly affections subject to change?
A65777Art thou daunted at the sight of danger?
A65777But above all, what can be so ravishing, as to understand we are in the direct path towards those great felicities promised us in the next life?
A65777But at least, shall the Soul then participate by the Body such pleasures, as now she does by her senses?
A65777But how then can he say not mine, of that which he will have done?
A65777But is there no further admittance( O glorious King of Love) for those who have so happily enter''d thy Palace?
A65777But is there no remedy for this distressed Soul?
A65777But shall I see then whatever I will, of all that passes in this world?
A65777But what will you think, if every one hath as cleare a sight of all your circumstances, as your own heart?
A65777But what wofull spectacle is that Pilate presents to the People, which causes so great and loud cries?
A65777But whence comes it( my dearest Lord) that those, whom thou scourgest with greatest severity, are most obedient to thy commands?
A65777But whither am I straid?
A65777But why do I cry and murmure?
A65777But why then didst Thou set set thine Eye upon me, preferring this wretch before so many thousands?
A65777But, Is He Purely Loving, and has no Ends in all He does?
A65777But, is it possible that all these great knowledges shall fall to my share, if I come to Heaven?
A65777But, why did I ask whether I was better then others?
A65777Can Angels boast of such priviledges, of such tendernesses, of such Extasies of Thy love?
A65777Can there be a more reasonable desire?
A65777Can two things in any respect unlike one another, proceed from the same causes in no respect differing from one another?
A65777Can you wish for more?
A65777Did you never observe, when some hard businesse has been explicated, according as you understood it or not, you would say, you had it or had it not?
A65777Do you hurt him, when you offend him?
A65777Do you then believe he is in heart vext and griev''d, as we are, when we are angry?
A65777Do you therefore remember the answer our Saviour gave to the Sadduces concerning Marriage in the next world?
A65777Do you, peradventure, doubt whether you shall be partaker of the sight of God?
A65777Does Man''s Hand break the Body of my Saviour?
A65777Father and Mother, Brothers and Sisters, Kinsfolk and Friends, what is''t you have done for me?
A65777First what''s His Extraction?
A65777For if it be onely in this Negative, why should that be promised for a happiness?
A65777HItherto it goes well, but in so great a happinesse and so glorious a State, is there but one content?
A65777Health and Pleasure, Riches and Honour, what charmes have you comparable to this ravishing object of love?
A65777How can he choose, I offending him so perpetually?
A65777How can this be?
A65777How easily the comparison of this world misleads you in the estimation of the next?
A65777How the beating of divers weights and figures upon our senses, can beget the skill of knowing all things?
A65777How truly spake he that said, I know my self a Man, that is, a proud and yet a wretched thing?
A65777I have often felt such a thought passe within me, but what do you inferre from thence?
A65777In fine, what lamenesse were it in Almighty God, to have his will more ample then his understanding could direct?
A65777Is He Bountifull and magnificent?
A65777Is He Noble and of an ancient race?
A65777Is He powerfull?
A65777Is He rich?
A65777Is it possible you can not endure to be belov''d beyond your desert?
A65777Looke well into the causes of your body: Doe you thinke the Aire contributes nothing?
A65777Manna raining from Heaven for those that can get to the shoar of that former Red Sea of loves flouds?
A65777Might I be the cause why my Mother& Nurses fed me as soon with wholesome Doctrine as with their Milk?
A65777My Father has promis''d, can he deny himself?
A65777Nay, even amongst those who are sincere and cordiall friends, how soon may therebe a change?
A65777O Eternall Wisdome, how truly didst Thou say, It was thy delight to be with the Sons of Men?
A65777O ill- requited Master?
A65777O my God, what do I see?
A65777O when will the happy day come, that I shall sit at this Fountain- head, and not need with pain to draw the water of pleasure?
A65777Peradventure, did I love Thee?
A65777Plants more wondrous then these: who can choose but be delighted to see a little Flower or Meal hidden in the earth, and peep out again?
A65777Quid mihi est in coelo;& à te quid volui super terram?
A65777See you not that other Histories and these are of one nature, though of different fashions?
A65777Shall I fear that I am not in state to receive his Body, when the very preparing my self, and having a true will to go meet Him, puts me in state?
A65777Shall I for ever apprehend my past sinnes, still in fear whether they are forgiven?
A65777Shall I not rather, in the very moment of terrour, turn me to Him, of whose readinesse to receive me I can not doubt?
A65777Shall I seek into the rationall Soul?
A65777Shall I seek outward Medicines for my wounds, whose ulcerousnesse onely consists in bereaving me of Love?
A65777Shall then, the friendship or love of any Creature have power to draw my affection from God?
A65777Tell me then, what is it that pleases you in all these things?
A65777Then I must employ my time in gaining knowledge, and governing my self according to it; but what should I seek to know?
A65777Then is all corporeall pleasure to be left with this world?
A65777Think you not these excellent witts found great pleasure in their contemplations?
A65777Thou invitest us to come to thee, shall this be our entertainment?
A65777Was I mightier or richer then they?
A65777Was I nobler or more excellent then they?
A65777Was it for this thou wert nurst by the purest of Women, and carried in the hands of Angels, lest thou shouldst at any time offend thy tender feet?
A65777Was it for this thy body was fitted to thee of Virgin- bloud, untoucht by men and Angels?
A65777Was my Wit or Parts beyond others?
A65777Well then, do you take pleasure in company of friends with whom you can be free?
A65777What Court, what Maske, what Shew can feign or counterfit so much, as Heaven will afford you reall objects to be ravished with?
A65777What could''st thou see in me, dread Lord, that might move thy will to select me from that Masse of non- Entity?
A65777What do I say, as truly: and not, even, more: in a far more excellent manner?
A65777What do you now conceit of the base love of this world?
A65777What dost expect, if this be not enough to set thee on fire?
A65777What excuse can we alledge against the dreadfull Nescio Vos?
A65777What fair gilt door is that which dazzles so my sight to look on?
A65777What may be the reason of this incredible excesse?
A65777What miserable penurious blasts are these to blow the coals of Love?
A65777What more extravagant then to think that the will, which can not swerve from doing the best, should work without a best?
A65777What must I do to redresse the disorder of my soul?
A65777What need I say Yes, to you that know better then my self the most hidden thoughts of my heart?
A65777What pretence can we offer to be placed on the right?
A65777What shall I say of Christ and his Apostles, of Bishops, Martyrs and Hermites?
A65777What shall I say to you?
A65777What should set two Armes, two Legs, two Eyes, just such a number of Fingers and Toes upon every man?
A65777What then canst thou say?
A65777What think you then, where reason( as I asked before) is in full height, can any thing there be omitted which is reasonable to be done?
A65777What think you?
A65777What would you have?
A65777What''s this I see on that once- comely visage?
A65777When shall I arrive at this sweet ravishment and extasie?
A65777When you go to these Maskes and great meetings, do you not take pleasure to be seen, as well as to see what passes there?
A65777Where is then the God of Elias?
A65777Wherein do you conceive the likenesse to Angels consists?
A65777Whereof what variety, my soul, hast thou from thy God?
A65777Who commands the Sea- men to burn under the Equator, and freeze by the Poles, to replenish me with Dainties?
A65777Who has not heard that it discharges the venome of the Tarantula in Apulia?
A65777Why am I good by half''s, since I am entirely thy Designe?
A65777Why do I moan, to whom there is left neither rest in this world, nor hope in the next?
A65777Why do you offend him so often?
A65777Why dost Thou not either suspend thy mercies, or make us more sensible of our duties?
A65777Why dost thou moane so pittifully?
A65777Why permittest Thou so unsufferable ingratitude?
A65777Why should you fear the lesse, if you be sure of the greater?
A65777Why then is one of them his, the other his Fathers?
A65777Why, do you conceive that God can command any unreasonable thing, especially there, where reason is in it''s perfection?
A65777Why, take away this, and anger is nothing but a will to punish you; and can you think God hath such a will?
A65777With all this, is he wise?
A65777Yet let me say one thing more: Can you conceive how in a Bean or Acorn, or a Mustard- seed, lies the Herb or Tree which we see spring out of them?
A65777a more cleer and confident subject of hope?
A65777a more violent and enforcing cry to heaven?
A65777and if any person have any lovelinesse, that there should be a poize and proportion of love for every grain of it in him?
A65777and in plain truth be Reliques of Him, of His glorious Flesh and immortall Bloud?
A65777and see the union of the two worlds?
A65777are any two things exactly like one another?
A65777are the Heavens become of Iron, that no drop of dew can distill down to refresh a languishing Soul?
A65777are the eternall springs of Libanus dryed up?
A65777are thy bowels of mercy petrifyed into Adamant?
A65777can I conceive without trembling, or speak without horrour?
A65777can I love any thing but the Love of my blessed SAVIOUR?
A65777can there be a more unquestionable plea?
A65777canst thou chuse but be vexed and enraged at thy Flesh and Blood, which, against all evidence, will force thee to esteem unfortunatenesse an Evil?
A65777canst thou love, or expresse it, beyond this?
A65777do Mans teeth rend and mangle the Sacred vesture of Deity?
A65777do Starres encrease and wane like sublunary meteors?
A65777do you not hear them set for Governours of corporeall things, even men deliver''d to their charge?
A65777does not the excesse of thy griefs disturb a little thy memory?
A65777find you no delight in them?
A65777hast thou deliberately reflected on the force and consequence of those strange engaging words?
A65777here I do nothing but offend my God, and there what can I expect, but a just Judge of my perpetuall offences?
A65777how can I counterfeit to the Light, which shines into every corner of my Conscience, and shewes my self so cleerly to me?
A65777how can a poor heart frame such a variety of Members as are necessary to the perfect body of a man?
A65777how can we chuse but have a share of Him perpetually in us?
A65777how undutifull a disobedience is this, in respect of the obsequious service tender''d him at his baptisme?
A65777is the face of Death so frightfull to thee?
A65777is this the fruit of all thy teachings?
A65777is this the profit of all those stupendious wonders thou hast done before them?
A65777is this the reward for all thy benefits?
A65777must he alone tread the winepresse of sour grapes, alone drink of this bitter Cup?
A65777my Father is all Truth, dare I offer to falsifie his Word?
A65777my Father is essentially Goodnesse, can I make him go lesse?
A65777of the love of Dogs and Birds?
A65777or brought I my self to believe and hope in Thee; to love Thee, and those Rewards thou hast prepar''d for them that follow thee?
A65777or search the Conduits and passages by which knowledge is conveyed through the Body to the Spirit?
A65777or that any one by his command can love you more then himself does?
A65777or wherein consists the due ordering of it?
A65777so, deserving preferrence; since I have or can have no good, but from Thee?
A65777that it is mingled with Mine, as Wine with Water; as two melted Waxes incorporate themselves?
A65777then, still to mount up higher to the never- bodied Spirits, and see their Being, their Natures, their Operations, their Quires, their Hierarchies?
A65777to what a point hast Thou let me be brought?)
A65777upon what slight grounds perhaps took they this opinion?
A65777was''t I that led me to a liking of the true Religion, that only Path of Heaven?
A65777what bitter- sweets must they of necessity cause?
A65777what can it imagine greater?
A65777what can you desire more?
A65777what goods have you wisht me?
A65777what means this unusuall strife& contention in thy own brest?
A65777what more delightsome, then to enjoy a clear serenity of mind, free from those errours we see our Neighbours tossed and turmoyl''d in?
A65777what must thou do to assure thy chief interest, and make thy self secure Mistresse of so great, so glorious pretensions?
A65777what of the so fruitfull devouter Sexe?
A65777what proportion do they bear to Thy wealth?
A65777what should make it spring and shoot out into other vitall parts?
A65777what then must thou do, my poor Soul, wavering yet betwixt hope and fear of these so important contraryes?
A65777what wishes can you make to deserve the least share in my Affection?
A65777what''s this my eyes behold?
A65777who set the multitudes of unhappy Creatures, buried in the bowels of Metallick Hills, and consumed in the Marishes of Brasil, to labour for me?
A65777who was ever mov''d to so difficult undertakings, by any worldly designe?
A65777why did my Mother rejoyce to hear me cry, and to receive the newes that I was a living Soul?
A65777why they prepar''d Priests& Masters to guide& frame my tender Age?
A65777why was I born to see the Sun?
A65777why?
A65777would you be the Center of this great Circumference?
A65777would you have nothing done, but you should have a share in''t?
A63711& thy righteousnesse in the land of forgetfulnes?
A63711* Art not thou he which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deepe, that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to passe over?
A63711* But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee and commest thou to me?
A63711* For in death no man remembreth thee: and who will give thee thankes in the pit?
A63711* For thou art the God that doest wonders; thy way O God is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
A63711* Look at the generations of old and see, did ever any trust in the Lord and was confounded?
A63711* My soule thirsteth for God, for the living God; when shall I come and appeare in the presence of God?
A63711* O Lord God of hosts how long wilt thou be angry with thy people that prayeth?
A63711* Thy way O God is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
A63711* Up Lord, why sleepest thou?
A63711* What is man that thou art mindfull of him, and the Son of man that thou visitest him?
A63711* What profit is there in my bloud, when I goe down into the pit?
A63711* What shall I render unto the Lord for all the benefits which he hath done unto me?
A63711* Wherefore should the wicked blaspheme God, while he doth say in his heart, Tush thou God carest not for it?
A63711* Whither then shall I goe from thy Spirit?
A63711* Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high?
A63711* Who is like unto thee O Lord amongst the Gods?
A63711* Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand?
A63711* Wil t thou be displeased at us for ever?
A63711* Will the Lord absent himselfe for ever?
A6371110 As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproch me: while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?
A6371110 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct?
A6371110 O God, how long shall the adversary reproch?
A6371110 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God?
A6371110 Who is this king of glory?
A6371110 Who will bring me into the strong city?
A6371110 Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off?
A6371110 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead?
A6371111 And they say, How doth God know?
A6371111 Shall thy loving kindnesse be declared in the grave?
A6371111 Who knoweth the power of thine anger?
A6371111 Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
A6371111 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand?
A6371111 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off?
A6371112 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark?
A6371112 So teach us to number our dayes, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdome, 13 Return( O Lord) how long?
A6371112 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many dayes, that he may see good?
A6371112 What man is he that feareth the Lord?
A6371112 What shall I render unto the Lord, for all his benefits towards me?
A6371112 Who can understand his errors?
A6371112 Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which passe by the way doe pluck her?
A6371113 But unto thee have I cried, O Lord, and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee 14 Lord, why castest thou off my soul?
A6371113 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
A6371113 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
A6371113 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God?
A6371116 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to doe to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldst take my covenant in thy mouth?
A6371116 Who will rise up for me against the evil doers?
A6371116 Why leap ye, ye high hils?
A6371117 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
A6371117 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God?
A6371117 Lord, how long wilt thou look on?
A6371119 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment?
A6371119 Thy righteousnesse also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee?
A6371119 Yea, they spake against God: they said, Can God furnish a table in the wildernesse?
A637112 For thou art the God of my strength, why dost thou cast me off?
A637112 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily?
A637112 How long will ye judge unjustly: and accept the persons of the wicked?
A637112 I will behave my selfe wisely in a perfect way, O when wilt thou come unto me?
A637112 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
A637112 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame ● how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing?
A637112 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?
A637112 Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord?
A6371120 Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also?
A6371120 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god: 21 Shall not God search this out?
A6371120 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
A6371121 Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee?
A6371123 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord?
A6371124 Wherefore hidest thou thy face?
A6371125 Whom have I in heaven but thee?
A637113 How long will ye imagin mischief against a man?
A637113 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous doe?
A637113 If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities; O Lord, who shall stand?
A637113 Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
A637113 Lord, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him?
A637113 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?
A637113 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
A637113 What shall be given unto thee?
A637113 Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord?
A6371131 For who is God save the Lord?
A637114 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge?
A637114 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge?
A637114 How long shall they utter and speak hard things?
A637114 How shall we sing the Lords song in a strange land?
A637114 O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against theprayer of thy people?
A637114 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail, our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
A6371140 How oft did they provoke him in the wildernesse: and grieve him in the desert?
A6371146 How long, Lord, wilt thou hide thy self for ever?
A6371147 Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?
A6371148 What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death?
A6371149 Lord, where are thy former loving kindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?
A637115 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?
A637115 How long Lord, wilt thou be angry for ever?
A637115 Mine enemies speak evill of me: when shall he die, and his name perish?
A637115 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily, they say, Who shall see them?
A637115 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest?
A637115 Wherefore should I fear in the dayes of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compasse me about?
A637115 Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high?
A637115 Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
A637115 Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
A637115 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever?
A637116 For who in the heaven can be compared unto the Lord?
A637116 The Lord is on my side, I wil not fear: what can man do unto me?
A637116 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good?
A637116 Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth?
A637116 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoyce in thee?
A637116 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?
A637117 And now, Lord, what wait I for?
A637117 Behold they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips; for who, say they, doth hear?
A637117 How excellent is thy loving kindnesse, O God?
A637117 Shall they escape by iniquity?
A637117 Thou, even thou art to be feared,& who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
A637117 Whither shall I goe from thy spirit?
A637117 Will the Lord cast off for ever?
A637118 Is his mercy clean gone for ever?
A637118 O Lord God of hosts, who is a strong Lord like unto thee?
A637118 Thou tellest my wandrings, put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
A637118 Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
A637118 Who is this king of glory?
A6371182 Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
A6371184 How many are the dayes of thy servant?
A637119 Hath God forgotten to be gracious?
A637119 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear?
A637119 I will say unto God, My rock, why hast thou forgotten me?
A637119 VVHerewithall shal a young man cleanse his way?
A637119 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit?
A637119 Who will bring me into the strong city?
A63711And in Jesus Christ his onely begotten Son our Lord?
A63711And then it would be considered whether we are fallen?
A63711Behold O God, thy Hand- maid is but a worme before thee; shall dust and ashes repine against God?
A63711DO ye indeed speak righteousnesse, O congregation?
A63711Dost thou beleeve in God the Father Almighty maker of Heaven and Earth?
A63711For why will ye die?
A63711HOw long wilt thou forget me( O Lord) for ever?
A63711How shall we call them Martyrs, if we deny their faith, how shall we celebrate their victory, if we dislike their cause?
A63711IN the Lord put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
A63711If thou Lord wilt be extreme to marke what is done amisse, O Lord who may abide it?
A63711If we beleeve them to be crown''d, why shall we deny but that they strove lawfully?
A63711Is his mercy cleane gone for ever?
A63711LOrd, how are they increased that trouble me?
A63711LOrd, who shall abide in thy tabernacle?
A63711Librum sacerdotalem quis nostrum resignare audeat, signatum à Confessoribus,& multorum jam martyrio consecratum?
A63711MY God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A63711O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever?
A63711O Lord, why hidest thou thy self in times of trouble?
A63711Quomodo fidem eorum possumus denegare, quorum victoriam praedicamus?
A63711So that if they dying in attestation of this Book were Martyrs, why doe we condemne the Book for which they died?
A63711THe Lord is my light, and my salvation, whom shall I fear?
A63711WHy do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
A63711WHy standest thou afar off?
A63711WHyboastest thou thy self in mischief, O mighty man?
A63711What am I O Lord, and what can I doe, or what have I done that thou shouldest doe this for me?
A63711Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the remnant of the transgression of his heritage?
A63711Who shall dare to violate this Priestly book, which so many Confessors have consigned, and so many Martyrs have hallowed with their bloud?
A63711and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
A63711and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
A63711and forgettest our affliction, and our oppression?
A63711and is his promise come utterly to an end for evermore?
A63711and is there knowledge in the most High?
A63711and the son of man that thou visitest him?
A63711and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?
A63711and who shall stand in his holy place?
A63711and why art thou disquieted in me?
A63711and why art thou disquieted within me?
A63711and why art thou disquieted within me?
A63711and will he be favourable no more?
A63711and will he be no more intreated?
A63711and will he shut up his loving kindnesse in displeasure?
A63711and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
A63711and wilt thou stretch out thy wrath from one generation to another?
A63711can he provide flesh for his people?
A63711doe ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
A63711doth his promise fail for evermore?
A63711hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies?
A63711he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
A63711he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
A63711how great is the summe of them?
A63711how long shall mine enemie be exalted over me?
A63711how long shall the enemy blaspheme thy name; for ever?
A63711how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
A63711or did any abide in his fear and was forsaken?
A63711or shall men declare thy truth in the grave, in the land where all things are forgotten?
A63711or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?
A63711or thy faithfulnesse in destruction?
A63711or to thy faithfulnesse round about thee?
A63711or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
A63711or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
A63711or whither shall I goe from thy presence?
A63711or who is a rock save our God?
A63711or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
A63711or whom did he ever despise that called upon him?
A63711shal it declare thy truth?
A63711shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave?
A63711shall it declare thy truth?
A63711shall the dead arise and praise thee?
A63711shall the dust praise thee?
A63711shall the dust praise thee?
A63711shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
A63711shall thy jealousie burn like fire?
A63711shall thy wrath burn like fire?
A63711the Lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?
A63711the Lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?
A63711thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
A63711when wilt thou execute judgement on them that persecute me?
A63711who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord?
A63711who can shew forth all his praise?
A63711who is like thee, glorious in holinesse, fearfull in praises, doing wonders?
A63711who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
A63711who will lead me into Edom?
A63711who will lead me into Edom?
A63711why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
A63711why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
A63711why goe I mourning because of the oppression of the enemie?
A63711why goe I mourning, because of the oppression of the enemie?
A63711why hidest thou thy face from me?
A63711wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
A63711¶ And now Lord what is my hope?
A63711¶ But I put my trust in thee O Lord; I have said thou art my God?
A63711¶ Hath God forgotten to be gracious?
A63711¶ O God how long shall the adversary doe this dishonour?
A63711¶ Shall the dust give thankes unto thee?
A63711¶ The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear?
A63711¶ Thy way O God is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
A63711¶ Up Lord, why sleepest thou?
A63711¶ What is man that thou shouldest magnifie him, and that thou shouldest set thy heart upon him?
A63711¶ Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our misery and trouble?
A63711¶ Who humbleth himselfe to behold the things that are in heaven and earth?
A63711¶ Wilt thou not turne again and quicken us, that thy people may rejoice in thee?
A6034312. Who can understand his errors?
A6034312. Who hath required this at your hands?
A6034342 14. Who is blind but my servant?
A60343A great many will seem to kiss Christ abroad in a Church, and at a publick Ordinance; who there so devout as they?
A60343A great noise you may make in the World, but it will be an empty sound: And what will you be the better for that?
A60343Again, will Publick- Prayer at all times become thee, and in every one of thy concernments?
A60343And art thou one of this number?
A60343And maist not Thou, my Friend, say the very same, when thou art alone, and in thy Closet- recesses, Thou God seest me?
A60343And now, I ask thee, Wouldest thou have all know what a vile Nature, and wretched heart thou hast?
A60343And since he doth see thee there, what wouldst thou have him see thee doing?
A60343And what shall I say, with a flea in thine ear?
A60343Are there not some things done by thee which nobody doth know of, and which thou wouldest not for more than I will say, have any body know of?
A60343Are they not often troublesome and vexatious to thee?
A60343Are things so well with thee, that thou hast no reason for a sigh, nor room for a groan?
A60343Art thou not sensible of base corruptions in thy heart?
A60343Ask thy own Conscience, O Christian, and let that tell thee, Hath not God seen thy pride in thy Closet, and thy worldly- mindedness?
A60343Be friends to your selves, and one another; why are you brought into an holy Communion, but in order to mutual edification?
A60343But hast thou not perceived God speaking to thee, once, yea twice, in divers manners?
A60343But let me ask thee, whose fault is that?
A60343But my Friend, Is that all thou hast to say for thy Christianity?
A60343But now, O prayerless Soul, how wilt thou prove thy self one of his People?
A60343But what did she do now that she had found him?
A60343But what do you think will become of you at such a time, you that have been all your days strangers to this work?
A60343But what was it?
A60343But what will become of you that are altogether strangers to the work?
A60343But what, O thou enamour''d Spouse, thou faithful Turtle, what of that?
A60343But where doth this take place?
A60343But, I pray, what will be at the last?
A60343By his Providences, frowning and smiling, prosperous and adverse?
A60343Can the great God, unto whom you are infinitely obliged, take it well at your hands?
A60343David could say, My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: But could he say so always?
A60343Do you find that to be a Canaan, a Heaven, which others call a Wilderness, because of pinching wants, and pricking Thorns, and Beasts of prey?
A60343Do you not live together?
A60343Dost thou know how to beg thy bread, and dost thou not know how to beg thy life?
A60343Doth it never war against the Law in thy mind?
A60343Esau said unto his Father, Hast thou but one blessing, my Father?
A60343First, Art thou a Christian indeed, or art thou not?
A60343First, Art thou a Christian, or art thou not?
A60343First, Secret Prayer is a choice and excellent means of Security; would a Man be safe when he is alone, then let him pray when he is alone?
A60343Fourthly, Doth not thy Conscience charge thee with the omission of a Duty?
A60343Fourthly, Let me once more inquire of thee, what agreement is there between thee and thy Conscience?
A60343Gerizim?
A60343God for not giving them, or thy self for not getting them?
A60343God''s eyes have been here upon me; but have mine eyes been again upon God, and unto God?
A60343Hast thou been so undefiled in the way, that thou needest not care who knows what thou hast been, and what thou hast done?
A60343Hast thou none of thy Relations that are so spiritually?
A60343Hast thou not reserved one?
A60343Hast thou not some secret sins to confess to God?
A60343Hath he not spoken to thee ▪ at divers seasons?
A60343Have you your secret Provocations, and is it not sit that you should have your secret Supplications?
A60343How can any expect the performance and making good of the Promises to them ▪ unless they put them in suit?
A60343How did his perfectly pure and precious soul delight to be on the wing, and mounting up to his and our Father in his recesses?
A60343How dost thou prove it?
A60343How dost thou think to come off?
A60343How many are there that never made an attempt this way, never tried to Pray, never went about the work?
A60343How unspeakably doleful will your condition be in the other World?
A60343How wilt thou answer him, when he shall say, Why didst thou not attend to the dictates of thy Conscience?
A60343I fear, if a man should come and ask some of you such a question as this; Friend, Neighbour, what intercourses are there between God and you?
A60343I mean not in Profession only, but in reality; not in shew only, but in sincerity; not in word and in tongue only, but in deed and in truth?
A60343If they are convinced, That is the work of the Lord, why do they not abound in it?
A60343If you ask, How long?
A60343In a word, is there nothing at all that troubles thee?
A60343Is it well?
A60343Is that all the Evidence thou art able to produce?
A60343Is there any thing of ingenuity in it?
A60343Is there no burthe ● upon thy back that is too heavy for thee ▪ Is there no wound in thy Conscience that puts thee to pain?
A60343Is there no sin within that is too hard for thee?
A60343Is this to deal bountifully with that God, who doth deal so bountifully with you?
A60343Is this to fill up your days and places with Duty?
A60343Is this to fit your selves for the giving up your account unto God?
A60343Is thy day so serene and fair, that there is no cloud appearing?
A60343Is your mouth so filled as that you need no more to open it wide?
A60343It really is so, for what is all the World to God?
A60343It was a very smooth and pleasant way, it was paved with delights, but the great business was, whither did it lead them?
A60343Let me propound to you one Question further; Hast thou nothing to ask of God?
A60343Lord, he whom thou lovest, is sick?
A60343Must thou go to God, in order to thy being judged by him, and sentenced as to thy everlasting state, and yet not pray?
A60343Now is not this a plain evidence of the thing?
A60343Now let me ask you, Is this kind?
A60343Now then let me put the Question to ● hee again; Art thou a Christian?
A60343Now, hath God spoken so often to you, and do you find nothing to say to God?
A60343Now, my Friends, what do you think of this?
A60343Or that men may have them without asking for?
A60343Remember thou hast to do with Majesty, yea, with an Infinite and Glorious Majesty; and Shall not his excellency make you afraid?
A60343Secondly, Dost thou make Religion thy business, or dost thou not?
A60343Secondly, I would seriously propound this Question to thee, Dost thou make Religion thy business?
A60343Tell me, O Christian, Have there not been such times in which thou hast found God speaking to thee?
A60343That she called the name of the Lord that spake unto her, Thou God seest me; for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?
A60343Thirdly, I would ask thee this Question, What dost thou think of God?
A60343Thirdly, What account dost thou make of God?
A60343Thou never prayest in secret, but art thou not in that wanting to thy duty?
A60343Well, suppose it had been so; what then?
A60343Well, these people have these things abroad; but suppose one should ask them, what they have at home?
A60343What did he speak?
A60343What is man that thou art mindful of him?
A60343What shall I say?
A60343What stream hath flowed from thee, which hath run clear; nay, what drop that was perfectly pure?
A60343What, O Man, O Woman, what dost thou mean?
A60343What, art thou so poor, O my Father, as that in giving one blessing, thou hast given away all?
A60343When didst thou so put off the Old Man, that there was none of his deeds to be found in thine hands?
A60343When he seeth this, how canst thou think but that his fury will come up into his face?
A60343When you do not seek God, do you find and enjoy peace within?
A60343While thou dost, thou hast reason to reflect upon thy self with indignation and abhorrency: will he beg for a penny?
A60343Whither shall I go from thy Spirit, or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
A60343Who is blind as He that is perfect, or blind as the Lord''s servant?
A60343Why do small matters keep them at home upon week- days?
A60343Will Satan tempt?
A60343Will that, which they call Common- Prayer, r ● ach thy whole Case?
A60343Will you be always in the possession, and under the power of a dumb Devil?
A60343Will you be persuaded to sit down a little, and take a review of your lives, and consider what iniquities you commit in the Chambers of your privacy?
A60343Will you not seek his face, where you sin to his face?
A60343Wilt thou not make any thankful acknowledgment, nor pay him any tribute of praise: wouldst thou carry thus to thy Fellow- creature?
A60343Yea, and you are to be Priests also, Praying for your Families, and with them: What is more reasonable than this?
A60343Yes, it is very probable: But what is there of the Service of God, of the Worship of God, of any Honour done to God?
A60343and I appeal to your own judgments; Conscience, what saist thou?
A60343and are they not frequently too too powerful and prevalent?
A60343and his dread fall upon you?
A60343and make you feel its anger?
A60343and shall not this be a prevailing motive with you?
A60343and the son of man that thou visitest him?
A60343and what is it that thou wouldst have of me?
A60343and what vermin overspreads and covers the face of thy Soul, which should have the beauty of the Lord its God upon it?
A60343and wilt not thou pray for a Kingdom and a Crown of Glory far better than those of Gold?
A60343are you some of that blessed wrestling Generation who seek the face of the God of Jacob?
A60343art not thou injurious both to God and thine own Soul?
A60343but I ask now, what thy thoughts are?
A60343but hast thou not a great deal more cause to be ashamed of thy not praying?
A60343by his Word and Ministers?
A60343do they not stink in thy Nostrils, when they stir in thy Soul?
A60343do you not eat and drink together?
A60343do you not love together?
A60343do you not rejoice and make merry together?
A60343do you pray a- days?
A60343do you pray by your selves in your Chambers, or with your Families?
A60343dost thou believe that he alone is more than all the Angels in Heaven, and all the Men on Earth put together?
A60343dost thou deal becomingly with him?
A60343dost thou find every one of thy wants mention''d there?
A60343dost thou know how to ask a kindness of Man, and not how to ask mercy of God?
A60343dost thou not see them?
A60343dost thou not withhold from him that which is his due?
A60343dost thou value and esteem him as a God ought to be valued?
A60343doth He day unto day shew his bounty, and night unto night his goodness, and is it not worth the owning?
A60343doth it contain in it all that is in thine heart?
A60343doth it not quarrel with you?
A60343doth it not sometimes flee in thy face, and charge it upon thee, and put thee into a Little- ease?
A60343doth it not upbraid thee with the neglect?
A60343doth not thy Conscience tell thee, thou art wanting to thy duty: doth it not vote for it?
A60343every one of thy desires drawn up there?
A60343every one of thy groans form''d there?
A60343hast thou been baptized into Christ?
A60343hast thou ● ut on Christ?
A60343hath he got the possession ● f thine heart, and the supreme power and ● ommand in it?
A60343hath he not been privy and eye- witness to thy unbelief and shameful distrusts of his fatherly Love and Care?
A60343how do their Faces shine, even as that of Moses did when he came down from the Mount?
A60343how many are they, and how great?
A60343how that loathsome dunghill is sending forth its unsavory smells?
A60343is Concience quiet?
A60343is it exactly stated by others in all the particularities of it?
A60343is there no blot in thy Escutchion, no dead Fly in thy Box of Ointment?
A60343is there no plague in thine heart that needs a cure?
A60343is there not some secret boon and kindness which thy heart carrieth thee out to the desiring of at the hands of God?
A60343is there nothing singular and peculiar in thy Case?
A60343is this the way to please God?
A60343live merely upon God''s mercy and patience, and not pray?
A60343live upon his goodness, and his cost, and not pray?
A60343live, and not pray?
A60343must thou one day dye and go into the other World, and not send any prayers thither before thee?
A60343or canst thou?
A60343or deaf as my messenger that I sent?
A60343or doest thou immediately knock it down, and get a complete victory at thy first entrance into the field?
A60343or hast thou nothing to say to God in private?
A60343or wouldst thou thy self bear it from another?
A60343ought they not to pray together, and to seek the face of God together?
A60343possessed with a lying Devil, or a swearing Devil, or a drunken Devil, or an unclean Devil?
A60343should not, ought not these persons to worship God together?
A60343so do you: here is the Prayer, but where is the fellowship?
A60343so lame, that they can not take one right step in the way of God and Duty?
A60343then do you pray; thus he setteth them at work: if you ask what Christ did then do himself?
A60343to the Mountains and Rocks to fall upon them, and hide them from the face of him that sitteth upon the Throne?
A60343vile Lusts which lurk and lodge in thy bosome?
A60343what a filthy scum is continually rising up?
A60343what advantage would she have had?
A60343what converse and fellowship have you with God?
A60343what did our Lord do when they were all gone?
A60343what encouragement would she have taken from thence?
A60343what figure doth he make?
A60343what is Heaven and Earth to God?
A60343what is their approving and justifying thee, if he reject and condemn thee?
A60343what is their liking thee, if he loath thee?
A60343what is their loving thee, if he hate thee?
A60343what kind of Eternity is that which you shall launch into?
A60343what more decent and comely?
A60343what was it that brought thee hither?
A60343what, nothing, but what thou wouldest have every body hear and know?
A60343where dost thou place him?

A41838Is there any person that hath confidence or perswasion tha ● God will quickly sheath the sword which he hath drawn against us?
A41838Is there not much in heaven 〈 ◊ 〉 comfort them against their crosses?
A41838Is 〈 ◊ 〉 not Christs presence which makes a crown of ● horns a crown of joy?
A41838Much more 〈 … 〉 ay we say, whence is it that our Lord himself should come to us?
A41838No 〈 … 〉 what is the end and scope that ye propose 〈 ◊ 〉 fore your selves in your going about the exe ● cise of that duty of prayer?
A41838Now what shall we say more?
A41838Now, what doth he require and call for a ● your hands?
A41838Now, what hin ● ers them to make application of this threatning?
A41838O Christians, what are ye 〈 … 〉 solved to do?
A41838O do wee not think that God is not half so good as his word under the crosse?
A41838O what makes Christians pray so weakly?
A41838O who would hold out ● uch a precio 〈 … 〉 guest?
A41838O will not Christ sweetly resolve that question, Is there any person that hath this question, Who is Christ that I may believe in him?
A41838O?
A41838Oh, may we not walk mournfully many daies in the bitterness of our souls, because we are not more in the exercise of secret prayer?
A41838Oh?
A41838Or can an oliv ● tree bear figs?

A41838Secondly, Why would you not give me your hearts?
A41838Secondly,( O atheists) do ye believe that there is a heaven and a hell, and an eternity of pain, and a day of judgment?
A41838Should the living seek the dead, and not their God, who giveth ● nto all men all things liberally to enjoy?
A41838The fourth question which Christ can best resolve, is that question which Paul had, What wilt thou have me to do?
A41838The last case which Christ can sweetly resolve, is in the word before the Text, Wherewith shall I come before the Lord?
A41838The second case which Christ hath exceeding good skill to resolve, is this, Who is the Lord that I may believe in him?
A41838The third case or question which Christ hath exceeding good skill to resolve, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternall life?
A41838The third consideration is, did ye ever finde any difficulty to believe, or to pray, or to love God?
A41838The third sort of blasphemy is, when wee call God weak; there are sometimes we are brought to that, Is there no balm in Gilead?
A41838The third voice wherewith God presses people to their duty, is by the voice of promises, what is the great voice of the Covenant of promises?
A41838There are some that let Christ threaten them what he will; they are still in the dark, and cry out, O what doth Christ mean ● y this threatning?
A41838They have taken away my gods, and what have I more?
A41838Think ye to pursue and win God ● y your fair blossoms and florishing Rhetorick, gallantness and fineness of expressions?
A41838Thirdly Doth not the wound that he received in his pr ● cious side, preach this soul- concerning doctrine My son, give me thy heart?
A41838Thirdly, Did yee ever finde any delight in praising and commending of him?
A41838Was it not his seri 〈 … 〉 nesse and fervency?

A41838Was it ● ot when he was praying?
A41838Was 〈 ◊ 〉 not when he had seen the Bride, the Lam 〈 … 〉 wife adorned?
