A26953 | 1. Who are you that dare dispute against God? |
A26953 | 4. Who is it( then) that with you goes for a Believer, or a Christian? |
A26953 | And how weak in Faith are the most of true Believers? |
A26953 | And that as verily as I ever see a man? |
A26953 | But why would not God let us have the SIGHT of Heaven and Hell; being that would have prevailed for our Conversion more generally and more certainly? |
A26953 | Do you count Faith an Infallible sort of Knowledge then? |

A26953 | Or for too much and plain Preaching? |

A26953 | Should I ever be drawn away by Temptations again as I have been? |
A26953 | Should I ever be offended with a Minister again, for plainest Reproof, and closest Exhortation? |
A26953 | Should I ever be quiet under uncertainty of my Reconciliation unto God? |
A26953 | Should I ever stick at sufferings when God calls for them from me? |
A26953 | Should I not give over my greedy pursuit of worldly Wealth and Credit? |
A26953 | Should I not hear at another rate than ever yet I heard a Sermon? |
A26953 | Should I not highly value Christ, his Spirit, his Grace, his Promises, his Word, his Ordinances? |
A26953 | Should I not plead for the most serious Godliness? |
A26953 | Should I not say in my heart, that the most gainful sin is worse than madness? |
A26953 | Should I not then be all for Peace, Quietness and Love, with all that love the Lord Jesus Christ, and are seeking invisible things? |
A26953 | Should a man understand no more than he sees? |
A26953 | WHat means the Apostle by these words? |
A26953 | Well, how shall I know whether I have this true Faith and saving, tho''in the least and lowest degree of it? |
A26953 | What should I be if I had seen the things that God hath done already in time past? |
A26953 | What should I be if I heard Satan accusing me for all my sins unto God, and calling for justice against me? |
A26953 | What should I be if I saw the great and dreadful day of Judgment as Christ doth describe it? |
A26953 | What should I be, if I had seen and did now see the Damned in their miseries? |
A26953 | What should I be, if I saw the Lord continually before me? |
A26953 | What should I be, if I saw the face of Death, and were under the power of a mortal sickness, and were given over by all Physicians and Friends? |
A26953 | What should I be, if I saw the glory of Heaven above? |
A26953 | Why so? |
A13997 | And what greater ioy can any man desire to enioy, then to be assured that he is elected to eternal ioy? |
A13997 | And what 〈 ◊ 〉 life? |
A13997 | But for what vs? |
A13997 | For as the Apostle speaketh, Who shall laie any thing to the charge of Gods Elect? |
A13997 | For hath not the Potter libertie ouer his clay, to make of the same lumpe, one a vessell vnto honour, and another a vessell to dishonour? |
A13997 | For otherwise what need was there that the soone of GOD should be brought( as he was) to such horrible miserie and to such an accursed death? |
A13997 | For what haue we, which wee haue not receiued? |
A13997 | For what man knoweth the things of a man, saue the spirit of a man which is in him? |
A13997 | For what should hinder? |
A13997 | For who can bring a cleane thing out of filthinesse? |
A13997 | For who would not loue him, of whom hee is so loued and to whom hee is so much obliged? |
A13997 | For( as Augustine saith) hovv can hee liue iustly, that is not iustified? |
A13997 | He hath ioyned vs to Christ, who shall disioyne vs? |
A13997 | He hath wedded vs vnto himse ● fe, what can diuorce vs? |
A13997 | He is with vs, who can be against vs? |
A13997 | Hovv can he liue holily, vvho is not sanctified? |
A13997 | It is God that iustifieth who shal condemne? |
A13997 | It was well said of that holy man; Wilt thou dispute with mee? |
A13997 | Know ye not that wee shall iudge the Angels? |
A13997 | Know ye not( saith Paul) that the Saintes shall iudge the world? |
A13997 | Now shall wee thinke that the discharging of one duetie can satisfie Gods iustice for the omission of many dueties, and the commission of many faults? |
A13997 | Or hovv can hee liue at all, who is not raised vp to life? |
A13997 | Or what is before his will? |
A13997 | The Apostle saith, know ye not that ye are the Temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? |
A13997 | The Starres are vncleane in hi ● sight: how much more man a Worme, euen the son of man, which is but a worme? |
A13997 | The heart is deceitfull& wicked aboue all things, who cā know it? |
A13997 | The principall efficient of Iustification is God the Father, in the Sonne, by the holy Spirit: For who can forgiue sinnes but God alone? |
A13997 | VVho( saith Bernard) can comprehend in this life, how great the glorie of the Saints of God shall bee in the life euerlasting? |
A13997 | What are wee, that God should bee mindful of vs, and visit vs with his grace? |
A13997 | What effectuall Calling is? |
A13997 | What reason then haue wee to beleeue it? |
A13997 | What then can, what shall hinder his worke? |
A13997 | What then? |
A13997 | What tongue can tell( saith Gregorie) and what vnderstanding can comprehend how great the ioies may be of that celestiall citie? |
A13997 | Who art thou, that thou darest dispute with God? |
A13997 | Who can compell the Almightie? |
A13997 | Who can hinder him? |
A13997 | Who spared not his owne Sonne, but gaue him for vs all: how shall he not vvith him giue vs all things also? |
A13997 | Why did he make choise of the Israelites aboue all nations? |
A13997 | Why did he make no more worldes then one? |
A13997 | Why made he no more kindes of creatures, or set no more Sunnes to shine in the heauens? |
A13997 | know ye not that your bodie is the Temple of the Holy Ghost that is in you? |
A13997 | know ye not your owne selues, how that Iesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? |
A09387 | And méeting so many Harbengers of death, how cāst thou but prepare for so gastly a guest? |
A09387 | Did he suffer the Tragedy of his Passion to bee bloodily acted, and patiently accepted? |
A09387 | Doest thou desire to haue all good necessaries: as good house, good furniture, good fare, good apparell? |
A09387 | Durst we commit such outrage against our earthly Princes? |
A09387 | His Paradise displanted, and made a Wildernesse of Serpents? |
A09387 | His Spouse deflowred, and become an Adultresse to his Enemies? |
A09387 | How long, O how long wilt thou hunt after vanities, and rush violently and wilfully into thine owne ruine? |
A09387 | If our end be the Kingdome of Heauen, why are we so much enamoured on the Earth? |
A09387 | If the end of our Creation, be eternall saluation, why hunt we after the vanities of this vaine life? |
A09387 | Is it not a senselesse security, to hug in thy bosome so many serpents as sinnes? |
A09387 | Is not he more then mad, that will play away his time allotted to preuent these intolerable calamities? |
A09387 | Is thy Seruant more néere thy Horse more deare, and thy Coate to be more cared for then thine own soule? |
A09387 | Is thy soule so slight a substance, as to be held in so small estéeme? |
A09387 | What is the body without the soule, but a corrupted Carkeise? |
A09387 | What thanke is it to pardon our enemies, when wee can not hurt them? |
A09387 | Who would fasten his eternall affaires vpon the slipperinesse of vncertaine life? |
A09387 | Why doe wee then sell our soules to the Deuill for euery delight and poore pittance of worldly pelfe? |
A09387 | Will he that keepes Register of euery singuler haire, suffer himselfe to be wronged, and ouer- passe it vnpunished? |
A09387 | Wilt thou cramme the Deuill with thy fairest fruits, and turne God to feede vpon thy wind- fals and after- gatherings? |
A09387 | Wilt thou present the maine Crop to the Deuill, and leaue God the Gleanings? |
A09387 | Wilt thou sacrifice the Fattlings to the Fiend of darknesse, and offer the carion Karkeises to the Father of Light? |
A09387 | Would not the terrour of the Law, and popular shame curbe vs from it? |
A09387 | and what is the soule without God, but a Sepulcher of sinne? |
A09387 | or to foster in thy soule so many malicious accusers, as mortall faults? |
A09387 | or what canst thou find in this vale of vanities, that is comparable to the fauour of God? |
A09387 | to forsake sinne, when sinne leaueth vs? |
A09387 | to giue away our goods, when we can kéepe them no longer? |
A09387 | to shake hands with our pleasures, when wee can vse them no more? |
A09387 | what interest canst thou recouer, that can equall thy detriments in grace and goodnesse? |
A57960 | And do we act courageously for petty purchases; and faint and despond when we are to strive for Crowns and eternal Glories? |
A57960 | And if all this be short, what will be available? |
A57960 | And shall the Beasts act more reasonably than the professed Sons of Reason? |
A57960 | And why may not the Spirit of God, working by an active Faith and Endeavour, fix Habits and Inclinations on the Soul, as prevalent as those? |
A57960 | Argument can be made a proportioned Medium to prove every Conclusion, that Any thing may be a suitable means to Any end? |
A57960 | Doth not Nature it self teach you, that if a Man have long Hair, it is a shame unto him? |
A57960 | For can the regenerate be full of all manner of concupiscence, and at the same time be crucified to the Flesh, and its affections and lusts? |
A57960 | Having sin dwelling in him; and a captive to sin; and obeying the Law of sin; and yet free from the law of sin and death? |
A57960 | How can they do good, that are accustomed to do evil? |
A57960 | If thou dost well, shalt thou not be accepted? |
A57960 | It is no Question, I hope, whether God, or the Creature is to be first chosen; whether Heaven or Hell be better? |
A57960 | May it not shame us, that we need Instruction from the Creatures that have no understanding? |
A57960 | Though the way is streight, yet''t is certain; or if it were otherwise, who would not venture his pains upon the possibility of such an issue? |
A57960 | We were made for Happiness, and Happiness all the World seeks: Who will shew us any good? |
A57960 | What difficulties in my Duty, too great for Divine Aids? |
A57960 | What is the example of a wicked, sensual, wretched World, to that of the Holy Jesus; and all the Army of Prophets, Apostles and Martyrs? |
A57960 | What is there in the World, that it should be loved more than God? |
A57960 | What pains are we to undergo in the narrow and difficult way, that the Glory which is at the end of it, will not compensate? |
A57960 | Who can tell the exact moment when the night ends, and the dawn enters? |
A57960 | Why should my noble Faculties, that were designed for glorious ends, be led into infamous practices by base Vsages, and dishonourable Customs? |
A57960 | and what is the Flesh, that it should have more of our time and care, than the great interests of our Souls? |
A57960 | carnal, and yet not walking after the flesh, but after the Spirit? |
A57960 | how can these things consist? |
A57960 | one in whom sin revives while he dies; and yet one that is dead to sin? |
A57960 | sold under sin, and yet free from sin? |
A57960 | that any object may be conformable to any Faculty? |
A57960 | who then shall be saved? |
A57960 | — Lord, are there Few that be saved? |
A34599 | 1 Whether there are any gracious conditions, or qualifications wrought in the soule before faith? |
A34599 | 2 Whether any man can gather his evidence of the assurance of his Justification from his Sanctification? |
A34599 | 22, 23? |
A34599 | 3 Whether there bee an active power of Faith, and other gifts of grace in a Christian conversation? |
A34599 | 5. Who are they which are born of the Spirit? |
A34599 | According to that of the Apostle Iames, Is any afflicted amongst yo ●, let him pray? |
A34599 | Alas, how farre are they mistaken, that thinke the contrary Doctrine hath beene sealed with the bloud of Martyrs? |
A34599 | Amongst which marks of the Beast, Is not the decree of Pope Innocentius the third? |
A34599 | And being pricked at the heart, now trembling, cry out, Men and brethren what shall we doe? |
A34599 | And is it not a commandement of God, that all Churches should be gathered according to the Commission of King Jesus? |
A34599 | And then like the wise Merchant, let us cast up our accouut, what it will profit us? |
A34599 | And with many other words hee said,( and must not ● ee doe so likewise? |
A34599 | But is there any hope to see the Nation of England reformed according to the Primitive pattern, founded upon the word of the eternall Truth? |
A34599 | But was Andrew and the other Disciple Iohn baptized, Re- baptized by the Disciples of Jesus the Christ? |
A34599 | But when doth the Lord discover the truth of his calling to his conscience? |
A34599 | But why may not the holy Spirit breathe his first comforts into our soules, even on such conditions? |
A34599 | Else, shall they not be disobedient to the voyce of the Spirit that speaketh? |
A34599 | Else, when thou shal ● blesse with the spirit, how shall he whic ● occupieth the roome of the unlearned ▪ say, Amen, at thy giving of thanks? |
A34599 | Hence, when Jesus demanded of his Disciples? |
A34599 | How prove you that? |
A34599 | If God shall by his good Spirit convince us of the evills that wee have done, so as that we trembling cry, Men and brethren, what shall we doe? |
A34599 | If all Churches come out of Babylon by degrees; then you condemn all Churches that are not of your judgement? |
A34599 | Is any merry amongst you, let him sing? |
A34599 | Is it not a greater Priviledge for an Infant to be borne of a beleever, then to be borne of a Jew, a Turke, or an Heathen? |
A34599 | Is not this to limit the Spirit, who is free, and bloweth where hee listeth? |
A34599 | Must not the reply be, Repent? |
A34599 | WHether a man may evidence his justification by his sanctification? |
A34599 | WHether there be any gracious conditions, or qualifications, in the soule before faith, of dependance unto which, such promises are made? |
A34599 | Was there any necessity that they should be Re- baptized; would not a more perfect instruction have served? |
A34599 | What Congregations deny that Jesus is the Christ? |
A34599 | What Priviledge hath the unbeleeving party, by dwelling and abiding with the beleever? |
A34599 | What if some judge him a Schismaticke? |
A34599 | What is a Psalme? |
A34599 | What is the Antichristian faith? |
A34599 | What is the Forme of this spirituall house? |
A34599 | What is thy beloved more then another beloved; oh thou fairest among women? |
A34599 | What is thy beloved more then others beloveds, that thou dost so charge us? |
A34599 | Whether in receiving of Chris ●( or the Spirit, who commeth into our hearts in his name) we be meerly passive? |
A34599 | Whither is thy beloved gone, oh thou fairest among women? |
A34599 | Whither is thy beloved turned aside that we may seeke him with thee?) |
A34599 | Whom doe men say that I the Sonne of Man am? |
A34599 | Why was it such a Priviledge? |
A34599 | but hee that denyeth that Jesus is the Christ? |
A34599 | so that ● ● ey trembling cry out, Men and ● ● ethren, what shall we doe? |
A34599 | though an unbeleever: Or what knowest thou, oh thou beleeving wife? |
A34599 | whether God will not make thee instrumentall to save thy husband? |
A59623 | 7. Who maketh thee to differ from another? |
A59623 | Again, There are many that are willing to accept of Christ; but how? |
A59623 | And what is that? |
A59623 | And will you not be thankful for such a Mercy as this? |
A59623 | Ay, did not you deal thus with God? |
A59623 | But how or wherein is Grace abused? |
A59623 | But if this be our Case, how or by whom are we saved and delivered out of it? |
A59623 | But if you ask, what moved him to it? |
A59623 | But what was the impulsive or moving Cause? |
A59623 | He that hears these sayings of mine, and doth them — And what Sayings were these? |
A59623 | How is our Salvation of Grace, since it is not without the Merit and Satisfaction of Christ? |
A59623 | How little a while too? |
A59623 | How shall he not with him freely give us all Things? |
A59623 | Is it good unto thee that thou shouldst oppress, that thou shouldst despise the work of thy hands? |
A59623 | It is a Sin to return evil for evil to Men; and what is it then to return evil to God for the greatest good of all? |
A59623 | It is good, saith the Apostle, that the heart be established with Grace; and why called Grace? |
A59623 | Nay, has Grace made you to differ, so much from your Selves; from what you sometime were; and should you not be thankful for it? |
A59623 | Now consider, do you not think your selves greatly obliged to bless God for your Beings; that he made you something, that were nothing? |
A59623 | O Death, where is thy sting? |
A59623 | Of how short a continuance is the difference betwixt the Rich and the Poor; the honourable and the bafe, the healthful and sickly? |
A59623 | Take notice, that I say, that Faith is but a hearty, thankful, accepting of the Gift according to its proper Nature and Use? |
A59623 | That he made you Men and Women, and not Toads or Serpents? |
A59623 | Therefore oft reflect upon the Apostles Question, What hast thou that thou didst not receive? |
A59623 | To explicate the Terms; First, What is meant by Grace? |
A59623 | What shall we say then, shall we continue in Sin, that Grace may abound? |
A59623 | What then shall we sin, because we are not under the Law, but under Grace? |
A59623 | What then, saith he, shall we Sin because we are not under the Law, but under Grace? |
A59623 | What? |
A59623 | When you come to Dye, what becomes of bodily Strength, and Beauty? |
A59623 | Will it not be the Glory of thy Mercy to Pity and Help the miserable? |
A59623 | and is any carnal and ungodly Man, while such, heartily willing and desirous to accept it so? |
A59623 | and is it not a greater Mercy, to have your deformed Souls beautified and made comely with the Divine Image, than to have comely Bodies? |
A59623 | and will it not be the Glory of thy Grace to save such as deserve thy Wrath? |
A59623 | but how much more, should you bless God, that of his special Grace and Love, hath translated you from Darkness to Light? |
A59623 | from Death to Life; from Slavery to Liberty; from Wrath and Curses to Favour and Blessedness? |
A59623 | of worldly Honours, Riches, and Friends? |
A59623 | or else have you not done it in a careless, slighty and customary manner? |
A59623 | what Reason have you to be thankful? |
A59623 | who can be saved? |
A59623 | why he would so concern himself for the Recovery and Salvation of lost and miserable Sinners? |
A59623 | why? |
A67773 | ( especially if they have not been notorious offenders) Are they a whit troubled for Sin, either Original or Actual? |
A67773 | 12. to 21. Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? |
A67773 | Again, this is an infallible truth, that without repentance there is no being saved; and what hope of their serious and unfained repentance? |
A67773 | Are you proud? |
A67773 | As ask them these questions, How do you hope to be saved? |
A67773 | As how many temptations come in by those Cink- ports the senses? |
A67773 | As what saies our Saviour? |
A67773 | As, are we bound to perform perfect obedience to the Law? |
A67773 | But it is very easie to believ, thinks the sensualist; yes, but why? |
A67773 | But it will be demanded how this comes ● be so? |
A67773 | Didst thou never hear Sermons unpreparedly, irreverently,& c? |
A67773 | Does thy heart upon a Sabbath rest from wordly thoughts? |
A67773 | Dost thou expect to have him mercifull to thee, that art unmerci ● ull, cruell, and bloody to ● i m, to his, and thine own soul? |
A67773 | For what wil such a one suggest to himself? |
A67773 | Hast thou been liberal to those that are owners of a part of thy goods? |
A67773 | Hast thou kept the Tenth Commandement? |
A67773 | Hast thou not robb''d God of his worship? |
A67773 | Have you never broke this or that Commandement? |
A67773 | If some that have journied in the wilderness to Kad ● sh- barnea, shall yet never enter into Gods rest; shall those that never left Egypt? |
A67773 | Is the stony ground reprobate? |
A67773 | It is a people that do 〈 ◊ 〉 their hearts, saies God; Why? |
A67773 | No, not they, What should they bee proud of? |
A67773 | Now tell me? |
A67773 | Or will they acknowledge themselves in a lost condition without Christ? |
A67773 | Therefore the mayn question is, Whether thou art a Believer? |
A67773 | Thou canst not away with swearing; but do''st thou reprove others for their swearing? |
A67773 | Thou shalt not commit Adultery? |
A67773 | Were we for disobedience subject to the sentence of condemnation, the curse of the Law, and death of body and soul? |
A67773 | What greater unbelife could there be? |
A67773 | What then is our sinfulnesse? |
A67773 | What will be their manner of answering? |
A67773 | When Christ wept over Jerusalem, what was the cause? |
A67773 | Whence come warrs, and fightings among you? |
A67773 | Which being so, how oft and how many wayes do we all offend? |
A67773 | Why shouldest thou deceive thy self with an opinion of faith? |
A67773 | Yea, what possibility is there that ever such a soul should have any benefit by Christ? |
A67773 | and what was the cause? |
A67773 | com ● they not hence? |
A67773 | hast thou not robb''d thy brother of his good name? |
A67773 | how many more by Satans injections? |
A67773 | much more thy tongue from worldly speeches? |
A67773 | of his Sabbaths? |
A67773 | presenting to the affections things absent from the sences? |
A67773 | to bee affected with joy in hearing the Word, and practice many things, with Herod? |
A67773 | to confess thy sins, and ● esire the people of God to pray for thee with Pharoah? |
A67773 | to venture thy life with Alexander the Copper- smith, in cleaving to the tru ● h? |
A67773 | to ● ee zealous against sin, with Jehu? |
A67773 | who finds not in himself, an indisposition of mind to all good; and an inclination to all evill? |
A67773 | willingly to part with a good part of ● hy goods, with Anarias? |
A67773 | ● o forsake the world& all thy hopes in it; to fol ● ow poor Christ, as Demus and others? |
A26936 | And darest thou refuse this when God and Conscience do command it? |
A26936 | And dost thou see and know this, and yet wilt thou not be instructed, and be wise in time? |
A26936 | And is he not self- condemned, that honoureth the Names of Saints, and will not imitate them? |
A26936 | And is not this Christ the Author of our Holiness, and this Scripture the Commander of it? |
A26936 | And is this Nature given thee in vain? |
A26936 | And what can we do to satisfie Justice, and reconcile such a rebel Soul to God? |
A26936 | And who can be our Owner, but He that made us? |
A26936 | And who can be our highest Governour, but our Owner? |
A26936 | Ask your Hearts seriously, What is it that I shall need at a dying Hour? |
A26936 | Believe: Tell me now what is the full Resolution and Desire of your Will, concerning all this which you Believe? |
A26936 | Blessed are they that are thy faithful Subjects; But who hath hardened himself against thee, and hath prospered? |
A26936 | Can not Carcases and Dust instruct thee to see the end of Earthly Glory, and all the Pleasures of the Flesh? |
A26936 | Can they be wise for thee, that are foolish for themselves? |
A26936 | Can you travel one whole day to such an End, and never think of the Place that you are going to? |
A26936 | Did they deride or persecute a Holy Life? |
A26936 | Do they then speak well of Lust and Pleasures and magnifie the Wealth and Honours of the World? |
A26936 | For want of these, how woful are our divisions? |
A26936 | Had they not rather die as the most mortified Saints, then as careless, fleshly, worldly Sinners? |
A26936 | How dangerous a case is that Man in, who hath so greedy a Beast continually to restrain? |
A26936 | How deplorable then is a World ● ings case? |
A26936 | How should that Man be filled with Joy, who must live in the Joys of Heaven for ever? |
A26936 | How small else would the Church seem in the World? |
A26936 | Is it a Controversie, whether thy Flesh must shortly perish? |
A26936 | Is there any Felicity more desirable than Heaven? |
A26936 | O Man, canst thou pass one day in Company, or alone in Business or in Idleness, without some sober Thoughts of Everlastingness? |
A26936 | Unless it be some desperate forsaken Wretch do they not all speak well of a Holy Life? |
A26936 | WHat do you believe concerning GOD? |
A26936 | WHat is the Christian Religion? |
A26936 | Were they not more strictly Holy than any that thou knowest? |
A26936 | What Miseries come from small beginnings? |
A26936 | What a Mercy is it to be driven from the World to God, when the love of the World is the greatest danger of the Soul? |
A26936 | What believe you of Man''s Redemption by Jesus Christ? |
A26936 | What believe you of Man''s fall into sin and misery? |
A26936 | What believe you of the Creation, and the nature of Man, and the Law which was given to him? |
A26936 | What believe you of the Holy Catholick Church, the Communion of Saints, and the Forgiveness of Sins? |
A26936 | What believe you of the Holy Ghost? |
A26936 | What believe you of the Resurrection and Everlasting Life? |
A26936 | What haste doth it make? |
A26936 | What is that Practice which by this Covenant, 〈 ◊ 〉 are obliged to? |
A26936 | What is the New Testament, or Covenant, 〈 ◊ 〉 Law of Grace? |

A41355 | But, Sir, that which you call Evangelicall repentance, and follows after faith, is in all that do believe: is it not? |
A41355 | But, Sir, was not the matter of that Covenant, and this, all one? |
A41355 | But, Sir, was the forme quite taken away, so as the ten Commadements were no more the Covenant of works? |
A41355 | But, Sir, would you have a believer to goe immediately unto God, how then doth Christ make intercession for us at Gods right hand? |
A41355 | But, sir, doe you think the Scribes and Pharisees, and their seed, did yield perfect obedience to the Law, according to their own exposition? |
A41355 | Did he break all the ten Comman ● ements, say you, Sir, I beseech you shew ● e wherein? |
A41355 | I beseech you, Sir, proceed also to the second thing, and first tell us, when the Lord began to make a promise to help and de ● ver fallen mankind? |
A41355 | I pray you Sir, give mee leave to speake a word by the way, was not he justified before this time? |
A41355 | I pray you, Sir, shew of what use it was to them? |
A41355 | I pray you, Sir, what ground have you to think that Adam fell the same day he was created? |
A41355 | I pray, Sir, how doth it appear that the Lord renued th ● t Covenant with them? |
A41355 | I will say more, if any soule have a roome in Heaven, such a soul shall? |
A41355 | It doth not only ● ommand the binding of lust, but forbids ● ● so the beeing of lust: And who in this case ● an say, my heart is clean? |
A41355 | O, but, Sir, What would you advise me to doe? |
A41355 | Ordinarily say you Sir, why, are they not in all? |
A41355 | Then, Sir, I pray you proceed to speake of the law of Christ, and first let us heare what the law of Christ is? |
A41355 | Were not Moses and Aaron, for their disobedience, hindered from entring into the land of Canaan, as well as others? |
A41355 | What followed then? |
A41355 | What should I say more? |
A41355 | Why Sir, what Law do you think I mean? |
A41355 | Why man? |
A41355 | Why then, Sir, it seemeth that you stand upon marks and signes? |
A41355 | Why was he unable to pay the debt of satisfaction for his sin committed in time past? |
A41355 | Why, Sir, I pray you, what have I to doe, or what would you advise me to doe, for truly I would be contented to bee ruled by you? |
A41355 | Why, if Christ be in a man? |
A41355 | Why, what hopes could they then have to be justified and saved, when they transgressed any of the Commandements? |
A41355 | and so sinne against God? |
A41355 | and was hee wounded for my transgressions? |
A41355 | how can I doe that which I know will displease so gracious a Father, and so mercifull a Saviour? |
A41355 | it is sayd, Doe wee then make voyd the Law through faith? |
A41355 | or why did he not so over- rule him in that action, that he might not have eaten the forbidden fruit? |
A41355 | what ayleth you? |
A41355 | what shall I do to save my soule? |
A41355 | who as it seemeth was sick of the same disease, Good Master( saith he) What shall I doe that I may inherit eternall life? |
A41355 | would you have us no longer to take comfort in the good things of this life? |
A25835 | ( while the Magistrate can but force the outward man) And God only who can punish it? |
A25835 | 37. what shall I do to be saved? |
A25835 | Again, is it not schism and division that lessens the Common strength by dispersing it into many smaller societies? |
A25835 | And again as thy Jesus, dost thou feel the power of his death killing sin in thee? |
A25835 | And again, what shall a man give in exchange for his Soul? |
A25835 | And as thy Lord, dost thou yield to the sanctifying work of his word and spirit? |
A25835 | And do you not see how little it doth for them in their greatest need? |
A25835 | And ever since, how is it the body of the Child only, the frailer and viler part, which is from the substance of the Parents? |
A25835 | And how fearful should we be to have any hand in their utter undoing? |
A25835 | And what can all the world be to this? |
A25835 | As for every faithful Minister of Christ, how exceeding careful should they be for the Souls committed to their charge? |
A25835 | Be assured Christ will erelong say to the, as Eliab to David, with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? |
A25835 | Do these so complain of Gods absence in part, and for a while? |
A25835 | For what is it but the Soul which thus distinguisheth us from brute beasts? |
A25835 | For why should they attend us as ministring spirits, if our Spirits were not of an excellent angelical nature, and fit to minister unto God? |
A25835 | Hast thou hereupon been heartily willing to receive Christ as offered in the Gospel, for thy Lord, as well as thy Jesus or Saviour? |
A25835 | Have we not matters of life or death to look after? |
A25835 | Have we not then need to be watchful to the uttermost of our power, and to be carefull all the ways we can, for their safety and preservation? |
A25835 | Have you not sometimes considered with your self, how soon the world and its pleasures will turn you off? |
A25835 | Have you not sometimes enjoyed the pleasures of sin for a season, and flattered your self with the long continuance of them? |
A25835 | How can you but now and then take notice of your own frailties which tell you, how certainly and shortly you must lie down in the dust? |
A25835 | How doth the Commonness of these worldly things abate the value of them? |
A25835 | How exceeding careful should they be to save themselves, and those that hear them? |
A25835 | How grievous to cry peace, and then be overtaken with trouble, and sudden destruction unawares? |
A25835 | How grievous to lose thy Soul, when perhaps thou wert near the saving it? |
A25835 | How is it God only, from whom it is, who can effectually command the Soul to subjection? |
A25835 | How is there in worldly things a vanity of deceitfulness which also speaks them less valuable? |
A25835 | How many of those who saw the miracles, and heard the sermons of our Blessed Saviour himself, and his holy Apostles, continued unconverted? |
A25835 | How many people come to the world as to a lottery, looking for a prize, but go away cheated with a blank? |
A25835 | How often doth the world by promising much, and performing little, first abuse our Judgements, and then frustrate our hopes and expectations? |
A25835 | How sadly is holy David and our Blessed Saviour afflicted at Gods absence in part, and for a while? |
A25835 | How very careful then, so far as concern''d, should we be of the welfare and salvation of the Souls of others? |
A25835 | Is the Soul more worth then a world? |
A25835 | Is the Soul so precious, and the loss of it so dreadful? |
A25835 | Is the losse of the precious Soul so exceeding great and dreadful? |
A25835 | Moreover, why should such store of other mercies be provided for us? |
A25835 | My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
A25835 | O what a glorious thing, how rich a prize for the expence of a mans whole life, were it, to be the instrument of rescuing any one Soul? |
A25835 | Or cause thy day of grace to end before thy natural life? |
A25835 | Or leave thee to thy self, to follow thy own hearts lusts? |
A25835 | Or what shall a man give in exchange for his Soul? |
A25835 | Or what shall a man give in exchange for his Soul? |
A25835 | Separation joyn''d with a wanting of the Spirit of Christ? |
A25835 | The creature if parted from God, is empty, and the Soul too; and what fulness can be had by adding one emptiness to another? |
A25835 | The question is put so as to include a strong denyal: What is a man profited? |
A25835 | Turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? |
A25835 | What can follow but confusion of face, when thou shalt see thy neighbours and acquaintance most happy, and thy self most miserable? |
A25835 | What can more clearly demonstrate the preciousness of it, then the greatness of that price which he payd for it? |
A25835 | What is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole World and lose his own Soul? |
A25835 | What is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own Soul? |
A25835 | What is it but the Soul which is the fountain of precious life, and therefore much more precious in it self? |
A25835 | What is it but the Soul, by which you are thinking, reading, or asking, what a Soul is? |
A25835 | What is the hope of the Hypocrite, though he hath gained:( though he hath gained never so much) when God taketh away his Soul? |
A25835 | What shall a man give in exchange for his Soul? |
A25835 | What will it profit a man though he gain the whole world, and lose his own Soul? |
A25835 | Which of us should not be afraid to consent to any wilful sin, if we verily thought we should dye presently upon the doing of it? |
A25835 | Why hidest thou thy face from me? |
A25835 | Why should God, if it were not for our precious immortal Souls, give us the Scriptures, and an excellent religion to shew us the way to happiness? |
A25835 | Why should we inordinately set our hearts and affections on that which is not? |
A25835 | Why too should Ministers be appointed by him, to preach, and pray, and labour for us, if we had not such precious Souls to save or lose? |
A25835 | Ye have taken away my Gods, and what have I more, and what is this ye say unto me, what aileth thee? |
A25835 | and how do those Powers shew the worth of the Soul it self? |
A25835 | and shall not the Saints and Angels, be so far from pitying, as rather with rejoycing to glorifie Gods Justice in thy utter destruction? |
A25835 | and shall they be such exceeding great losers that lose their Souls, though by the gaining of the whole world? |
A25835 | doth he by his bloodshed not only pardon thy sins, but also save and deliver thee from them? |
A25835 | or give thee up to a spirit of slumber and stupidity? |
A25835 | or when thou groundlessly flatteredst thy self, thinking thou shouldest do well enough? |
A25835 | what amazement seiseth on that mans spirit, who being in a fair way of thriving, hears unexpected news, that all he had is lost and gone? |
A25835 | what are become of those precious Souls of thy Children or Servants which I intrusted thee with? |
A25835 | who could justly blame us for making more a do then needs? |
A25835 | who could reasonably count us too earnest or too busie? |
A25835 | why castest thou off my Soul? |
A67781 | 14 and indeed if they are spiritually discerned, how should they descern them that have not the spirit? |
A67781 | 15. to the hardning of many in their Atheism, and Unbelief: For what should hinder? |
A67781 | Again, Fifthly, how does lust blinde and besot men? |
A67781 | Again, If it be asked, Why the natural man perceiveth not the things of the spirit of God? |
A67781 | And in another place; Know ye not, that the amity of the world, is the enmity of God? |
A67781 | And what greater folly? |
A67781 | And what is the cause they acknowledg not the same now, but their blindness and folly? |
A67781 | And what is the summa totalis of all but this? |
A67781 | Are not these so many infallible properties of a fool? |
A67781 | As how often is that spent upon one Christmas revelling by the son, which was forty years a getting by the Father? |
A67781 | BUt would these men( any one, even the best of them) thus improve, or imploy their knowledge? |
A67781 | Besides, if these great knowers know so little, how ignorant are the rude rabble, that despise all knowledge? |
A67781 | Briefly, how oft doth wisdom without grace prove like a fair estate in the hands of a sool, which not seldom becomes the owners ruine? |
A67781 | But If you would know how to call them, they are properly subtle persens? |
A67781 | But Sixthly, what can we think of an improvident Gamester? |
A67781 | But how shall a man know, whether he hath this knowledge? |
A67781 | But what can the Prince of darknesse propound? |
A67781 | But why? |
A67781 | Did our Saviour Christ forbear to heal on the Sabbath day, because the Scribes and Pharisees took it ● ll? |
A67781 | Fourthly, what think you of common Idolaters? |
A67781 | How could hee other then thinke, if lust had not blinded and bewitched him? |
A67781 | How did they shake him off in that pittiful distresse, with look thou to it? |
A67781 | How the heat of the stomach, and the strength of the nether chap should be so great? |
A67781 | How the waters should stand upon a heap, and yet not over- flow the earth? |
A67781 | If Idolaters will need set up a false god for the true, is it not equal, that the true God should give them over to the false? |
A67781 | In the last place, Are not all wilfull sinners arrant fools? |
A67781 | Is it not a dear purchase? |
A67781 | Is it not the manner of thousands with us? |
A67781 | Kill the Child in the womb, and never hurt the Mother? |
A67781 | Or do they desire it to any such end? |
A67781 | Or that Germain Clow ●, who under- took to be very ready in the ten Commandments: but being demanded by the Minister which was the first? |
A67781 | Paul a polluter of the Temple? |
A67781 | Seventhly, let me refer it to any rational man, whether the Voluptuous Prodigal is not a stark Fool? |
A67781 | She whose body is mercenary to me, will easily fell me to others? |
A67781 | Steven a destroyer of the Law? |
A67781 | Tell me, wherewith thou mayest be bound to do thee hurt? |
A67781 | That think the vowed enemy of their souls, can offer them a bait without a hook? |
A67781 | They set their mouths against heaven, and are like an unruly Jade, that being full fed kicks at his Master; what course doth the Lord take with them? |
A67781 | Thirdly, are the one regenerate, the other carnall? |
A67781 | To have as expert a tongue, and as quick a memory as Portius; a perfect understanding, great science, profound eloquence, a sweet stile? |
A67781 | To have the force of Demosthenes, the depth of Thesius, the perswasive art of Tully,& c. if withal he wants Grace, and lives remissely? |
A67781 | VVhat cause have we then to blesse the giver? |
A67781 | Was it not an a gu ● ● nt that Haman was blinde? |
A67781 | Was not Ahab blinde? |
A67781 | Was not the wisdome of the Serpent turned into a curse? |
A67781 | Was there ever such a motion made to a reasonable man? |
A67781 | We fools thought his life madnesse, and his end to be without honour: How is he now numbred with the children of God, and his lot among the Saints? |
A67781 | Were not the Jews, Scribes& Pharisees blind, who could see more unlawfulness in the Disciples plucking a few ears of Corn on the sabbath- day? |
A67781 | What communion between light and darknesse? |
A67781 | What hath pride profited us? |
A67781 | What is the notional sweetness of Honey, to the experimental taste of it? |
A67781 | What saith Aristotle? |
A67781 | What saith Pharaoh to his deep Counsellors? |
A67781 | What saith our Saviour? |
A67781 | What sayes Aristotle? |
A67781 | When Christ taught in the Temple, they asked, Hovv knovveth this man the Scriptures, seeing he never learned them? |
A67781 | Who would not have spurned such a sutor out of doors? |
A67781 | Why a flash of lightening should melt the sword without making any impression in the scabbard? |
A67781 | Why is this cast away, saith Iudas? |
A67781 | Why the Loadstone should draw iron, or incline to the pole- star? |
A67781 | Why the clouds above being heavie with water, should not fall to the earth suddenly, seeing every heavy thing descendeth? |
A67781 | Will the Merchant be discouraged because his wine pleaseth not a sicke mans palate? |
A67781 | With the Astronomer, to observe the motions of the heavens; while his heart is buried in the earth? |
A67781 | With the Historian, to know what others have done, and how they have sped; while he neglecteth the imitation of such, as are gone the right way? |
A67781 | With the Law- maker, to set down many Lawes in particular, and not to remember the common Law of nature, or Law general that all must die? |
A67781 | Yea, how little was Judas set by of the High Priests, when once he had served their turn? |
A67781 | Yea, how severely will they censure, not only things indifferent, but the most holy and approved good duties in the godly? |
A67781 | Yea, what a deale of paines and care does the covetous man take for his own damnation? |
A67781 | Yea, when it was said of Phocian and Demosthenes, that they could never agree; it was answered, No, how should they? |
A67781 | Yea, will they not more deeply censure our serving of God, then their own blaspheming of him? |
A67781 | an ill penni- worth? |
A67781 | and be themselves the greatest of sinners, then our Saviour to be in company with sinners? |
A67781 | and the Palsie man''s carrying his bed; then in their own devouring of Widows houses? |
A67781 | are not they arrant fools? |
A67781 | but they are grosly mistaken: for wherein does this their great wisdom consist? |
A67781 | could not Paul shew as much cunning as Tertullus? |
A67781 | is not he a Fool? |
A67781 | not that there is a deficiency of power in the godly, but will: for could not David go as far as Achitophel? |
A67781 | or what good hath our riches and our vaunting brought us? |
A67781 | the one Christs friends, the other his enemies? |
A67781 | the one children of light, and of the day, the other blinde and in darknesse? |
A67781 | the one of this world, the other chosen out of it? |
A67781 | the wisdome of Achitophel into folly? |
A67781 | the wisdome of Jezabel, into a shameful death? |
A67781 | the wisdome of Nimrod into confusion? |
A67781 | the wisdome of the Pharisees into a woe? |
A67781 | the wisdome of the unjust Steward into expulsion out of Heaven? |
A67781 | this divine and supernatural wisdom? |
A67781 | to have the theory,& be able to prattle of wisdom by rote; yet not know what it is by effect and experience? |
A67781 | to search out the cause of many effects, and let pass the consideration of the principal, and most necessary? |
A67781 | what peace between the Believer and the Infidel? |
A67781 | who Adam- like, will receive what- ever comes, or is offered them? |
A67781 | who thought Mordecaies not bowing the knee to hi ●, a more heinous offence, then his own murthering of thousands? |
A67781 | who thought they might better murther Christ, then others believe in him? |
A31952 | & c. Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool? |
A31952 | ( saith the Apostle) it is God that justifieth, who is he t ● at condemneth? |
A31952 | * Who shall lay any thing, to the charge of Gods elect? |
A31952 | A new heart will I give you, saith the Lord, and what follows? |
A31952 | And hath he not then Union with Christ? |
A31952 | And must not that needs be a special work of the Spirit of G ● d in man, which strongly argues the special Love of God towards man? |
A31952 | And, how may I discern whether I have a new heart, yea, or nay? |
A31952 | Art thou then a sufferer; Consider whether thou sufferest as a Christian, yea, or nay? |
A31952 | As if he had said, How shall we that are dead to the guilt of sinne, take pleasure in the filth of sinne, or wallow in any sinne with delight? |
A31952 | But here the great question will be, How shall I do this? |
A31952 | But how shall I do that? |
A31952 | But how shall I know, whether Gods chastisements be sanctified ● o me, or not? |
A31952 | But how shall I know, whether my love to man be sound, and such as demonstrates the holy Spirits saving habitation in me, or not? |
A31952 | But how shall that appeare? |
A31952 | But if this be not the meaning of this Scripture, what then is the meaning of it? |
A31952 | But what Spirit was the Lord Iesus Christ of? |
A31952 | But what is it to be in Christ? |
A31952 | But what is it to suffer as a Christian? |
A31952 | But what is that poverty of spirit, which Christ pronounceth blessed, and on which he entailes the kingdome of Heaven? |
A31952 | But what is that( may some say) what is a new Creature? |
A31952 | But what is this Evangelicall contrition? |
A31952 | But what is this Obedience you speake of? |
A31952 | But what is this grace of Repentance? |
A31952 | But where then is assurance to be found? |
A31952 | But you will say, How shall I do this? |
A31952 | But you will say, How shall I know, whether my heart be washed from wickedness, or not? |
A31952 | But you will say, What is a new heart? |
A31952 | By what Law? |
A31952 | Divine joy, What? |
A31952 | Divine patience, What? |
A31952 | Go ye and teach all Nations, saith Christ to his Apostles, What should they teach them? |
A31952 | HOw may I come to be truly, and infallibly assured of my salvation? |
A31952 | Hearts broken with Evangelical sorrow are very pliable to the will of the Lord above all other, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? |
A31952 | How may I discern, whether my Obedience be sincere and cordiall Obedience, yea, or nay? |
A31952 | How may it be defined? |
A31952 | How may it be defined? |
A31952 | How may it be described? |
A31952 | How shall I go to work to attain this precious jewel of assurance which you speak of? |
A31952 | How shall I then know, whether God chastise me in love or in displeasure? |
A31952 | How shall I try the testimony that I have, whether it be of God or no? |
A31952 | How shall we that are dead to sinne, live any longer therein? |
A31952 | I am unprofitable to God and man: When saw I thee a stranger, and took thee in? |
A31952 | Is Ephraim my deare sonne, is he a pleasant Child? |
A31952 | Israel was a fruit- bearing vine, yet but an empty vine; how comes this to passe? |
A31952 | Lord, when saw we thee an hungred? |
A31952 | O wretched man that I am, Who shall deliver me( and when shall I be delivered) from the body of this death? |
A31952 | Secondly, Whether thy Chastisiments are sanctified to thee, or not? |
A31952 | Shall the thing formed, say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? |
A31952 | Shall we receive good at the hand of God? |
A31952 | So say thou to the Lord, respecting that land above, of which Canaan was a type, Lord, God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it? |
A31952 | The third thing premised is; Who they are to whom Chastisements and scourgings are pledges of Divine love? |
A31952 | Their heart was not right with God, that is, their hearts were not sincere and upright: but how doth that appeare? |
A31952 | Then again, say as he, What seest thou? |
A31952 | To get assurance of this, thou must diligently examine thy self, whether thou hast the Spirit of Christ, or not? |
A31952 | We all naturally dote upon works, and say, as the young man in the Gospel, that came to Christ, What shall I do that I may inherit eternall life? |
A31952 | We know, we are confident, saith he of himself, and other Believers; and what follows? |
A31952 | What doth the Lord require herein on our part? |
A31952 | What form is he of( said he) What sawest ● hou? |
A31952 | What is this faith you speak of, and how may it be discerned from a Temporary faith? |
A31952 | What light? |
A31952 | What seest thou O my soul in thy self? |
A31952 | What shall we do, that we might work the Works of God? |
A31952 | Where is boasting then? |
A31952 | Whose image dost thou beare, Christ''s or Satans? |
A31952 | Wouldest thou then know, whether thy Repentance be Repentance unto Life, or no? |
A31952 | affected darknesse or afflicting darknesse? |
A31952 | and did minister unto thee? |
A31952 | and how may I discern, whether I have it or no? |
A31952 | and shall we not receive evill? |
A31952 | and where is the place thereof, seeing it is hid from the eyes ● f the most, and kept close from many of Gods Iewels? |
A31952 | and whether thou sufferest according to the will of Christ? |
A31952 | how much better is thy Love, then Wine? |
A31952 | if nothing but darknesse? |
A31952 | intimates How can ye believe( saith he) which seek honour one of a another? |
A31952 | of works? |
A31952 | or a stranger? |
A31952 | or athirst? |
A31952 | or in prison? |
A31952 | or naked, and cloathed thee? |
A31952 | or naked? |
A31952 | or sick? |
A31952 | or when may a man be said to suffer as a Christian? |
A31952 | so do thou ask thy soul, What form art thou of, O my soul? |
A31952 | viz, that I have Union with Christ, how shall I be ascertained of this? |
A31952 | what darknesse is it? |
A31952 | what darknesse? |
A31952 | what may I do to increase my assurance, and better my evidence? |
A31952 | whether it be such as truly demonstrates the holy Spirits saving habitation in thy soul, and the truth of thy faith, yea, or nay? |
A31952 | whether thou sufferest for the will of Christ? |
A64998 | 2. but where in the whole Scripture do we read of the conversion of any by Angels? |
A64998 | ARE Ministers to tell People Words whereby they may be saved? |
A64998 | ARE Ministers to tell People Words whereby they may be saved? |
A64998 | And brought them out, and said, Sirs, What must I do to be saved? |
A64998 | And methinks by this time I should hear some of you cry out as the Iews when Peter preached, or the Jaylor, O what shall we do to be saved? |
A64998 | And will not conscience accuse you of the guilt of sin? |
A64998 | Are Ministers to tell people words whereby they may be saved? |
A64998 | Are not you guilty of impenitency and hardness of heart, and unbelief, and want of love to God, and his Son, and neglect of your own salvation? |
A64998 | Are there no drunkards in this place? |
A64998 | Break, break ye rocky hearts at this, what is God willing indeed to put up such high affronts? |
A64998 | But is there no spark of hope yet? |
A64998 | But would it not be more for their advantage, if by breaking off their trade they gained less Estate for themselves, and more souls for Jesus Christ? |
A64998 | Can you think you have an interest in Christ, that never truly mourned for sin, that never hungred after Christ, that have no true Faith to apply him? |
A64998 | Did he not receive maintenance from other Churches without working for his living? |
A64998 | Do not such persons themselves for the most part, do not their hearers slight true Ministers? |
A64998 | Do you all, or the most look as if you had your eye upon the mark and glorious prize before you, and were pressing with all your might towards it? |
A64998 | Doth God make use of Ministers to preach the Gospel, rather than Angels? |
A64998 | FOr Reproof, doth God make use of Ministers to preach the Gospel rather than Angels? |
A64998 | For exhortation of Ministers: Doth God make use of Ministers to preach the Gospel, rather than Angels? |
A64998 | Have you interest in Christ that have no Influence from Christ? |
A64998 | How beautiful should the feet of them be that bring glad tidings of good things? |
A64998 | How far will carnal self- love carry carnal men? |
A64998 | How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation? |
A64998 | How should people love their Ministers, who are their spiritual Fathers, and Nurses, and Physitians? |
A64998 | How welcome should their voice be that preach the Gospel of peace? |
A64998 | How would you shrink and croud out faster than you crouded in, as not being able to endure? |
A64998 | I can not save my self, and no creature can help me; but is there no other way? |
A64998 | I hearkned and heard, but they spake not aright, no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? |
A64998 | If God whet his glittering Sword, and his hand take hold on vengeance, what Powers of Earth are strong enough to make resistance? |
A64998 | Is the Lord pleased with such Ministrations? |
A64998 | Let such examine themselves wherefore it is that they continue in their other callings; is it not from a carnal and worldly motive? |
A64998 | May not I say of all the seekers here, that there are but few that strive to enter in at the strait gate? |
A64998 | May not I without uncharitableness say, that not one in twelve, no nor one in twenty, no nor one in a hundred in this City and Nation shall be saved? |
A64998 | Men and brethren what shall we do? |
A64998 | Say not in your heart, Who shall ascend up into Heaven to learn what it is there? |
A64998 | Such as take upon them to be Ministers, and are no Preachers? |
A64998 | Then said one unto him, Lord are there few that he saved? |
A64998 | Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate? |
A64998 | Think with your selves, It may be that many in this place shall be damned, and then say, Shall not I? |
A64998 | We have committed a great sin, and what shall we now do? |
A64998 | What course shall we take that we may be saved from that eternal wrath and death which we have deserved? |
A64998 | What grounds have I to think that I shall be saved? |
A64998 | What is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? |
A64998 | When the Jaylor with trembling enquired of Paul and Silas, What shall I do to be saved? |
A64998 | Who would set the bryars and thorns against me in battel? |
A64998 | and abused such goodness too? |
A64998 | and after all doth God beseech me to be reconciled? |
A64998 | and doth he stoop to entreat and beseech such mean creatures, and wretched sinners as you to be reconciled? |
A64998 | and should not spiritual 〈 ◊ 〉, which is the only reall self- love, carry y ● ● n ● ● ● ow difficulties? |
A64998 | and to forgive such great sins? |
A64998 | and who hath brought up th ● se? |
A64998 | and will not this one day be accounted a slighting of Jesus Christ himself, whose Ambassadours and Representatives they are? |
A64998 | and will such be able to give a good account hereof, who have been the occasion? |
A64998 | dared such power? |
A64998 | do you hear as if it were for your lives, as if you might hear words this day whereby you may be saved? |
A64998 | have I affronted such greatness? |
A64998 | have you Union to Christ that have no Communion with him? |
A64998 | have you interest in Christ that have no true Love to Christ, and never yielded subjection to Christ? |
A64998 | how is he to be received? |
A64998 | how should you go up and down like condemned malefactors, that are condemned to Hell, and know not how soon they may be dragged to execution? |
A64998 | how will others comp ● ss Sea and Land and hazzard life it self, and all to get an estate in the wo ● d for themselves? |
A64998 | how will some rise up early and sit up late, deny themselves food and rest and many comforts of this 〈 ◊ 〉? |
A64998 | if I should be found in the number of the negligent seekers which will miss of salvation? |
A64998 | is it not because worldly emolument cometh in this way? |
A64998 | is there no escaping, no reconciliation attainable? |
A64998 | no Sabbath- breakers, nor profane persons? |
A64998 | no lyars nor covetous persons? |
A64998 | no swearers? |
A64998 | no unrighteous persons that have defrauded their neighbour? |
A64998 | none that have committed adultery, and been unclean in secret places? |
A64998 | or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? |
A64998 | or whither can you flee from his anger and indignation? |
A64998 | or who shall descend into the deep to bring notice of it from thence? |
A64998 | or who shall take the wings of the morning, and fly into the uttermost parts of the earth thence to bring tydings of it to you? |
A64998 | shall not I? |
A64998 | should you think much of ex ● ● ● nding time and pains that you may get salvation for your selves? |
A64998 | there are but few, can I think that I am in the number of the few? |
A64998 | trampled upon such patience? |
A64998 | was it such a God whom I offended? |
A64998 | what are his commands? |
A64998 | what are his terms? |
A64998 | what dangerous voyages unto the uttermost parts of the Earth will some undertake, to bring home some rare things? |
A64998 | what difficulties will they go thorow? |
A64998 | what expences of time and pains and strength will they be at? |
A64998 | where is he to be found? |
A64998 | who can defend himself against an Omnipotent arm? |
A64998 | will he bear the dishonours of his great and glorious Name by sin, without punishing the sinn ● rs? |
A29523 | ( saith the Apostle) shall we continue in sin that Grace may abound? |
A29523 | * Quid ergo est primus? |
A29523 | 1 ▪ Wherefore a penitent sinner should do this? |
A29523 | 1. Who it was that came? |
A29523 | 12. Who art thou that judgest another? |
A29523 | 16? |
A29523 | 16? |
A29523 | 2? |
A29523 | 4. Who art thou that judgest another mans servant? |
A29523 | 6. and afterwards did it? |
A29523 | Am I therefore become your enemie, because I tell you the truth? |
A29523 | And how doth this commend the Love of God to us? |
A29523 | And how good is this saying? |
A29523 | And how is he said to have came? |
A29523 | And how is it that they are so? |
A29523 | And how was he to do this? |
A29523 | And if they be found out, and charged upon them, What do they then? |
A29523 | And in the end of it how- abused? |
A29523 | And is not this the case of many stupid Souls among us? |
A29523 | And is not this the case of some, and I fear too many among us? |
A29523 | And is not this the case of some, and too many amongst us? |
A29523 | And might not this have pleaded an excuse for him? |
A29523 | And not only so, but endued also with many excellent Moral Vertues, as Justice, Temperance,& c. And what? |
A29523 | And such is that other, about the Necessity of Christs coming, Whether it was necessary that he should come, and undertake this work? |
A29523 | And to whom was it that he acknowledged them? |
A29523 | And what books were these? |
A29523 | And what faith is this? |
A29523 | And what love was this? |
A29523 | And what say we to Herod and Pilate, who had a hand in condemning him? |
A29523 | And what tidings like unto these tidings? |
A29523 | And what was it that he had done? |
A29523 | And what was it that they did hear? |
A29523 | And what was that? |
A29523 | And what, Was this so great a Sinne? |
A29523 | And what, were not these as great, nay greater sinners than Paul was? |
A29523 | And whither did he come? |
A29523 | And why not unto us, who, were it not for this Coming, should erelong be in their condition? |
A29523 | And why so? |
A29523 | And why so? |
A29523 | Art thou come to call my sin to remembrance? |
A29523 | As for Paul, he might know this, having a speciall Revelation for it, but how shall we come to know it, to be assured of it? |
A29523 | As for such, What have they to do with Grace? |
A29523 | Being hereof convinced in an extraordinary way, by a Voice from Heaven; Christ himself calling unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? |
A29523 | Besides, as he was Iustified, so he was sanctified: How then could he say, that he was the chief of sinners? |
A29523 | But a hard saying, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, harsh and irksome to be heard, Who can hear it? |
A29523 | But from whence came he? |
A29523 | But hereupon what do they? |
A29523 | But how shall we be able to do this? |
A29523 | But if so, the Question will yet run on, How could Paul say and think thus of himself, that he was the chief of Sinners? |
A29523 | But in so doing, how unlike are they to the Apostle here in the Text? |
A29523 | But what follows? |
A29523 | But what shall we then say to those that are Enemies to him? |
A29523 | But when, when? |
A29523 | But, What kind of Acknowledgement is that which he maketh? |
A29523 | For Answer briefly; Are we in measure such as Paul was? |
A29523 | For, how saith the Apostle this? |
A29523 | Great sinners? |
A29523 | How else should He be said to come into it? |
A29523 | How is it then, that he here chargeth himself so deeply, that he was the chief of sinners? |
A29523 | How much more joyous then should these tidings be to the Sons of men, for whose sake, Christ is come into the world? |
A29523 | How ready should we receive this Doctrine? |
A29523 | How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation? |
A29523 | How then saith Paul here, that he was the first? |
A29523 | How then saith he, that he was the chief? |
A29523 | How then shall we distinguish betwixt the one, and the other? |
A29523 | How was it then, that he should passe so severe a Censure upon himself, that he was a sinner, such a sinner, a sinful man? |
A29523 | How welcome then should the tidings hereof be unto us? |
A29523 | I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright, no man repented him of his wickedness, Saying, What have I done? |
A29523 | If the righteous scarsly be saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear? |
A29523 | In his confessions and acknowledgments how ingenuous was he? |
A29523 | In the worship and service of God, Who seemingly more Devout than they? |
A29523 | Is it not the case of some, of many profane wretches? |
A29523 | Is this the Disposition of a truly Gracious Soul, a true Penitent sinner? |
A29523 | It is enough that he came, to save all such sinners as we have heard of, all truly penitent sinners? |
A29523 | Look upon him before his Conversion, and see what we can find in him that should deserve so severe a Censure: What? |
A29523 | Now what? |
A29523 | O wretched man that I am, Who shall deliver me from the body of this Death? |
A29523 | Paul was a sinner, a great sinner, let that be granted; yet how was he the chief of sinners? |
A29523 | Paul, if he would have gone about such a work, the excusing or extenuating of his sinnes, how many Pleas might he ▪ have taken up? |
A29523 | That they are sinners they will acknowledge, but what? |
A29523 | The First? |
A29523 | The acknowledgement of a sinner truly Penitent, and that which cometh from a spirit of Hypocrisie in a wicked, or carnal man? |
A29523 | They, it may be, do look back, and call their former sins to their remembrance; but how? |
A29523 | This onely would I know,( saith Paul to his Galatians); Received ye the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by the hearing of Faith? |
A29523 | To Save them, From what? |
A29523 | To save whom? |
A29523 | Was Peter such a one? |
A29523 | Were it not for the Sun, what were the world but a Dungeon? |
A29523 | Were there not others as great, if not greater than he? |
A29523 | What a bootless thing is it then, for men to study the Art of forgetfulness? |
A29523 | What a favour? |
A29523 | What a folly then is it in them, to go about to forget them, so long as God remembers them? |
A29523 | What an expression of Love was this? |
A29523 | What comfort doth this speak to all truly penitent sinners? |
A29523 | What great matter is this? |
A29523 | What have I to do with thee, thou man of God? |
A29523 | What have they to do with Mercy? |
A29523 | What have they to do with Salvation? |
A29523 | What is it then to uncover the nakedness, and filthiness of the Soul? |
A29523 | What is the cause, why Hypocrites are so quick- sighted in espying, and so forward in judging and censuring of others? |
A29523 | What shall we say then? |
A29523 | What then, was Paul the first of sinners? |
A29523 | What, had there not been many that had been guilty in the very same kind before him? |
A29523 | What, were there not others, who had been,( or were) as great, or greater sinners than he? |
A29523 | What? |
A29523 | Wherefore should a Christian do this? |
A29523 | Whether some other way might not have been found for the effecting hereof? |
A29523 | Who would not do it at such a time? |
A29523 | Why art thou disquieted within me,& c? |
A29523 | Why, but it may be said, To what purpose is this? |
A29523 | Why, but yet how could he say this of himself, that he was then the chief of sinners? |
A29523 | a man so ordered, so tempered, so qualified? |
A29523 | are they also to have such a frequent remembrance of their sins? |
A29523 | having as great a hand in opposing and persecuting of Christ, as ever he had? |
A29523 | he the chief of sinners? |
A29523 | herein how far are they deceived? |
A29523 | how much more such a cloud of witnesses? |
A29523 | or how could he say it of himself, that he was the chief of sinners? |
A29523 | place, by way of Consolation: Is Christ Jesus come into the world, and that upon this Errand, to save sinners? |
A29523 | saith the prophane Wretch, when shall this be? |
A29523 | to decline the remembrance of their own sins, when as they are so entred into both these Books, which shall one day be thus Opened? |
A29523 | was Paul,( or Saul, for that was then his Name) then a Debauched, Scandalous, Prophane, Impious Person? |
A29523 | were there not others before him? |
A29523 | 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, O wretched man that I am, Who shall deliver me from the body of this death? |
A29523 | 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, it is not good? |
A40009 | 12, With what did the Lord say he would search Jerusalem, and where was it? |
A40009 | ART thou laden with the burthen of thy sins? |
A40009 | And are all your springs in him? |
A40009 | And are none in the Way of Truth? |
A40009 | And are we not to look for the coming of Christ, and the Resurrection of our Bodies also at the last day? |
A40009 | And art thou guilty so deeply, as this in truth makes thee? |
A40009 | And art thou indeed and in truth a true seeker of the Kingdom, and restless till thou findst it? |
A40009 | And do you give light to all that see your conversation? |
A40009 | And dost thou mourn in secret, praying to God for case and pardon? |
A40009 | And dost thou pant and breath after him, as the Hart doth after the Water- brooks Is truth in the inward parts the thing thou would have? |
A40009 | And is not your little World without form, and void? |
A40009 | And now Friend, let me ask thee, Is the Lord the desire of thy soul? |
A40009 | And thou that deniest the Light, Whose workmanship art thou? |
A40009 | And thou that sayest, No man hath the infallible Spirit now; Let me ask thee also, Hath the Lord no people in this Age to bear testimony to his Truth? |
A40009 | And whether if that maintenance were removed, you your selves would not soon come to silence, and your Ministry quickly fall to the ground? |
A40009 | And whose Works are wrought in thee? |
A40009 | And wouldst thou be acquainted with the Spirit of God to guide thee into all truth, and lead thee into the path of holiness? |
A40009 | Are they not Works of darkness, and thou the son of perdition? |
A40009 | Are you as Beacons upon a Hill? |
A40009 | Are you not like the Chaos? |
A40009 | Are you not those who preach and hear from a large comprehension, but your selves far from the life of what you hear or speak? |
A40009 | Are you sent of God who cry, Lo here, or low there, as some of you do, and creep into Chambers and private places,& there speak with your doors shut? |
A40009 | Are you those that have got in thorough the strait Gate? |
A40009 | Art thon possest with the spirit of error, and ignorant of the truth of God? |
A40009 | Art thou covetous of gain, and earthly- minded, and dost not do to another as thou wouldst be done unto, wanting the Royal Law of Love to be thy Rule? |
A40009 | Art thou possest not onely with one evil spirit, but Legions, and seest no power to resist the least assault of the Enemy? |
A40009 | As first: Whether is not Christ the same to day, yesterday, and for ever? |
A40009 | But thou maist say unto me, Is there no other Resurrection of Christ then what is in man? |
A40009 | Can any man be assured of his Salvation whilest he is a sinner? |
A40009 | Can any of you say, you preach the everlasting Gospel by the Revelation of Christ Jesus in you? |
A40009 | Canst thou be ignorant of this, That the Lord reveals his secrets to them that fear him? |
A40009 | Did that which brought you in, lead you out again? |
A40009 | Do none know the Lord novv? |
A40009 | Do ye not know that the Man- child hath been caught up to God, the wo ● an fled into the Wildernesse, and the Devil had the power over all Nations? |
A40009 | Dost thou not know that the holy spirit is a spirit of Revelation wheresoever it is? |
A40009 | Dost thou not know that, that is its work in man, and that if thou hast not this Spirit of Christ, thou art none of his? |
A40009 | Friend, Is this thy case indeed? |
A40009 | Friends, Is preaching for hire, and persecution of your Neighbour, for conscience- sake to be miantained by Scripture? |
A40009 | Friends, let me be plain with you; How came you into the fear of the Lord? |
A40009 | Hath not the Lord promised that in the later dayes he will pour out his Spirit upon all flesh, and his sons and his daughters shall prophesie? |
A40009 | Hath not the Lord said, He will write them upon his peoples hearts, never to be blotted out? |
A40009 | Have you bid Farewel to the friendship of this World,& to the manners, fashions, vain customs, and delights thereof? |
A40009 | Have you born the cross till every idle world and vain imagination be slain and crucified? |
A40009 | Have you known the fools state,( which all that will be truly wise must come to?) |
A40009 | Have you not read in the holy Scriptures, That Christ did not work many miracles in his own Countrey, because of the peoples unbelief there? |
A40009 | Have you the power as well as the words of truth? |
A40009 | How can you number your selves amongst the children of Light, when you refuse the Light to work in you, and rebel against it? |
A40009 | How can you say as the Disciples and followers of Christ do, That it is God that worketh all his works in you, and for you? |
A40009 | Is it not because you look on the Cross to be a low attainment, and that you are wearing the crown? |
A40009 | Is it not because you think your selves higher, and taller by the head and shoulders then your Brethren? |
A40009 | Is the Lords love to his Saints less now, then before? |
A40009 | Is this thy Faith? |
A40009 | Is this thy voice indeed? |
A40009 | Is throwing men into Gaols, and stealing of their Goods, to be maintained by the Scriptures? |
A40009 | Is what you preach, of God? |
A40009 | Is your taking up the carnal Weapons to defend your Gospel with, when your spirituall Weapons will not do, to be maintained by Scripture? |
A40009 | May not a poor Soul[ who presseth after holiness,] truly say, They are miserable Comforters? |
A40009 | Or are you not indeed those who have striven( for a time) to enter, but could not? |
A40009 | Or are you not still alive in them all? |
A40009 | Or are you not those who have felt it too heavy to bear, and so laid it down again? |
A40009 | Or are you uot those who have lost the power you once had,( as the Devil hath done) and retained the notion onely, which he is the supporter of? |
A40009 | Or can any man be blessed that doth not keep them? |
A40009 | Or hath it lost its powerful operation now? |
A40009 | Or have you not put your light in a dark Lanthore not suffering it to shine forth, lest you your selves should be discovered? |
A40009 | Or is his hand shortned that he can not save to the uttermost as well now as ever? |
A40009 | Or is it because you would shun judgement, which you must come to again, and love it too, before you can meet with the Lord in peace? |
A40009 | Or is there any thing besides that, which can lead man into the path of life, and enable him to walk therein? |
A40009 | Or was it not a place of preferment to a comfortable maintenance,( as you call it) and to get a Trade to live by, that called you? |
A40009 | Or were they not given to be kept by his servants, who enter into life? |
A40009 | Tell me, Doth any man require that of another, which he knows he can not perform and do? |
A40009 | VVHether was your Call to your Ministry from God, yea or no? |
A40009 | Were they to be read onely, or to be painted upon the Steeple- house Walls? |
A40009 | What do you mean? |
A40009 | What is it that brings to thy remembrance things past, as if they were but yesterday, and sets thy secret sins in order before thee? |
A40009 | What is it that discovers unto thee( in thy Chamber of Imagery) the secret Adultery of thy heart, when no outward eye sees thee? |
A40009 | What is it that in the day time checks thee for thy wanton eye and pride of life, when none without perhaps dares accuse thee? |
A40009 | What is it that tells thee thou hast committed the sin against the Holy Ghost, and for which thou canst never receive pardon when committed? |
A40009 | When will you cease to tumble over your many and dusty Volumes of corrupted Authors, to find out that Truth which lyes buryed within you? |
A40009 | Where is it said( which ye so boldly affirm) That Revelation is ceased, or shall ever cease, from the Saints or Spouse of Christ? |
A40009 | Whether are not false Teachers, the Cause of so many Errors, Heresies, Sects and divided judgements, as are in the Nation? |
A40009 | Whether are you not respecters of persons, honouring and fawning upon those men most, who can promote you to the greatest Benefices? |
A40009 | Whether are you not those that shut up the Kingdome of heaven against men, and neither go in your selves, nor suffer others? |
A40009 | Whether can man by all his Learning open the holy Scriptures, yea or no? |
A40009 | Whether do you in deed and in truth own the holy Scriptures? |
A40009 | Whether do you know the word of life in the heart, and quickning Spirit within, from the dead letter without? |
A40009 | Whether have you been born again of the incorruptible seed? |
A40009 | Whether instead of seeking the Kingdome of heaven within you, and teaching men so to do, Yot do not seek and teach it to be sought without? |
A40009 | Whether is not the Spirit of God in man, the Candle of the Lord, with which he Will search all men? |
A40009 | Whether is that seed of God in Man sufficient to guide man to his true rest? |
A40009 | Whether is the incorruptible seed of God in all men yea or nay? |
A40009 | Whether is the quickning and powerful Spirit of God in man( by which he became a living soul) subjected to a dead letter? |
A40009 | Will that please the Lord? |
A40009 | Wouldst thou be freed from the spirit of pride, self- love, passion, and emulation towards thy Neighbour? |
A40009 | Wouldst thou have thy Saviour and thy Guide to lead thee by his un- erring and infallible spirit? |
A40009 | and are you entred into the Kingdome of heaven, where none comes but such as are dead to this world, and the friendship thereof? |
A40009 | and do you walk in the narrow path, which leads to life, and which few find? |
A40009 | and that they are but dwarfs in knowledge in comparison to you? |

A41842 | Now are there any here who will be so gross slighters of this great salvation? |
A41842 | Now are there any of you here to day, who are called willing? |
A41842 | Now are there none here who fall under this first rank of slighters of the great salvation? |
A41842 | Now can ye say any thing against Christ, who is the Author of this great salvation? |
A41842 | Now is there a person here, who dare deny this charge, that he is a slighter of this great salvation? |
A41842 | Now is there any of you that have fallen in love with the great salvation, that ye may try your selves? |
A41842 | Now peace or war, which of them will ye choose? |
A41842 | Now therefore is the bargain closed, or will ye go away before ye take this great salvation? |
A41842 | Now what resolution mind ye to go away with to day? |
A41842 | Now what say ye to it, old men? |
A41842 | Now where are your hearts at this time? |
A41842 | Now where do you find your name and sirname? |
A41842 | Now will ye enquire at your selves, Am I the person that will give my birth- right for a mess of pottage? |
A41842 | Now will you shed one tear for your estrangement? |
A41842 | O Sirs, will ye not come and take this great salvation, this dear salvation? |
A41842 | O captives and prisoners, and you who are in the bonds of Satan, Will you come and partake of this great salvation, and you shall be made free? |
A41842 | O do you not know it? |
A41842 | O shall our cursed hearts undervalue this compleat salvation that is come to your door? |
A41842 | O slighter of the Gospel, how many alasses wilt thou cry, when thou shalt be passing thorow these dark gates into thy everlasting prison? |
A41842 | O tell me, have ye seen him? |
A41842 | O that strong bar of hardness of heart, when shall the Omnipotent hand of God break it? |
A41842 | O what a dreadful sound is that? |
A41842 | O what a sight was that, to behold the Prince of Heaven cloathed with our nature? |
A41842 | O what do you say to this offer? |
A41842 | O what robes are these? |
A41842 | O who would not praise him, who is the author of this great salvation? |
A41842 | O will none of you this day embrace it? |
A41842 | O will ye be perswaded to look to Christ, and so to take him? |
A41842 | O will you despise it? |
A41842 | Oh ha ● e ye not need of great salvation? |
A41842 | Oh shall the great salvation that ye have flighted so long, be slighted this day also, and shall there be none to embrace it? |
A41842 | Oh will you not come foth? |
A41842 | Old men that are here, How long have you been strangers to the great salvation, and to the Author of it? |
A41842 | Old women, what will you answer when he shall say to you, Why slighted you the great salvation? |
A41842 | Or do you think to see him this day? |
A41842 | Or have ye this resolution? |
A41842 | Or is this your resolution, that through Christs strength( forsake him who will) ye will never forsake him? |
A41842 | Produce your strong arguments; Are there any here who have any thing to say against him? |
A41842 | Say to it, are there none of you who( for all this) will consent to partake of this great salvation? |
A41842 | Secondly, Is not Jesus Christ a notable advantage? |
A41842 | Seventhly, Are there any who are called lame here to day? |
A41842 | Seventhly, It is a most advantagious salvation: What are the advantages of any salvation that are not to be found in this? |
A41842 | Should ye ask at Adam, would he not say, O embrace this great salvation? |
A41842 | Sixthly, Are there any here to day who are called blind? |
A41842 | Sixthly, is not eternal seeing of God as he is, a great and noble advantage? |
A41842 | That is, Want ye righteousness? |
A41842 | That there are many within the visible Church who are neglecters and slighters of this great salvation;( do ye not all take with it?) |
A41842 | That ye will esteem more highly of this great salvation then ever ye did? |
A41842 | They have rejected the word of the Lord,( and immediately it is subjoyned) And what wisdom is in them? |
A41842 | They would not mutter the song, nor sign silently; but cryed with a loud voice: And what did they cry? |
A41842 | Thinkest thou that thou hast more need of the great salvation than ever thou thoughtest before? |
A41842 | Thirdly, are there any moneyless folk here to day? |
A41842 | To whom shall I speak and give warning, that they may hear? |
A41842 | Was it ever the rejoycing of your hearts that Christ dyed and rose again? |
A41842 | Was not the Justice of God to be satisfied? |
A41842 | What great impediments( suppose ye) lay in Christs way before he could accomplish and bring about this great salvation? |
A41842 | What holdeth you in? |
A41842 | What holds you from coming away and partaking of it? |
A41842 | What knowest thou O man or Woman, but this shall be the last Sermon that ever thou shalt hear concerning this great salvation? |
A41842 | What must I give for it, say ye? |
A41842 | What needeth all these exhortations? |
A41842 | What robes hath he on? |
A41842 | What say ye to it? |
A41842 | What then did he with them? |
A41842 | What wait ye for? |
A41842 | Whosoever will, let him come: But Oh, are there none here to day who are named willing? |
A41842 | Why then do ye not welcome it? |
A41842 | Why will you sligh this great salvation? |
A41842 | Will there be any( shall I think) here that will refuse to come forth? |
A41842 | Will ye look to the price that was laid down for this salvation? |
A41842 | Will ye slight this great salvation, and embrace your idols, which shall once prove a crown of thorns unto you? |
A41842 | Wilt thou not then cry out, O me( a slighter of the everlasting salvation) whether am I now going? |
A41842 | Wilt thou therefore think presently with thy self( O thou slighter of this great salvation) what wilt thou say of thy slighting it? |
A41842 | Woe unto thee O Ierusalem; Wilt thou not be made clean? |
A41842 | Would ye ask at all the Saints that are above, would they not advise you to embrace the great salvation? |
A41842 | Would ye be eternally happy? |
A41842 | Would ye be honourable? |
A41842 | Would you know who is the Author of this great salvation? |
A41842 | Yea, would ye be rich? |
A41842 | Young Men and young women, inquire at your own hearts, what you will answer, when Christ shall say to you, why slighted ye the great salvation? |
A41842 | and cry out, Woe is me that Christ and I have been so long a sunder? |
A41842 | and was he not to bear the torments of hell before this great salvation could be accomplished and brought to pass? |
A41842 | and yet for all this, shall we be sent away without one consent to embrace or receive it? |
A41842 | doth my heart say, I will sell my birth right, because I am hungered and ready to dye, what will it profit me? |
A41842 | for what report can Christ carry back but this? |
A41842 | in which of all these robes have ye seen him? |
A41842 | is it not a free salvation? |
A41842 | is it not a great salvation? |
A41842 | is it not a most excellent salvation that is in your offer? |
A41842 | is it not an eternal salvation? |
A41842 | is it not lovely now? |
A41842 | is there any person here that hath any lawful excuse to present? |
A41842 | is there any thing can afford you any satisfaction but this great salvation? |
A41842 | is there not eternal enjoyment of God to be found through this salvation? |
A41842 | is there not liberty to be found through this salvation? |
A41842 | is thy estimation of the great gospel salvation a foot higher then it was in the morning? |
A41842 | or are there none here who will confess that they have gone about to establish their own righteousness? |
A41842 | was he not to dye, and to be made like unto one of us? |
A41842 | was he not to lie in the grave? |
A41842 | when shall it once be? |
A41842 | will ye come and partake of the great salvation? |
A41842 | will ye flighter after it? |
A41842 | will ye make this a rejoycing day in heaven, that is a fasting day unto you? |
A41842 | will you but read that dreadful word? |
A57386 | & c. What tongue can utter them; What heart of man can comprehend them? |
A57386 | & c. or upon thy self for thy Reformation? |
A57386 | ( 1) Art not thou quite destitute of the Fountain and Root of all Spiritual life to the Soul? |
A57386 | ( 1) The Variety and several sorts, of thine Actual Sins; How manifold are they? |
A57386 | ( 2) Art thou not wholly destitute of any spiritual sense rightly to discern and receive the things of God? |
A57386 | ( 2:) To what art thou cursed? |
A57386 | ( 3) Art thou not utterly destitute of Spiritual Breath? |
A57386 | 10,& c. Canst not thou sanctifie the Sabbath- day? |
A57386 | 12. are they not numberless like the Sands? |
A57386 | 3. what? |
A57386 | 31. to 35. Who ever was healed by a Plaister spread and prepared only, but never applied to the wound and Sore? |
A57386 | 37. why then shouldst thou fear, that he will not accept and embrace thee? |
A57386 | 4,& c. And Iehu in rooting out of Ahab''s house, and destroying of Baal''s Idolatry out of Israel? |
A57386 | 4. Who ever was Restored and saved by Christ, till he accepted and applied Christ? |
A57386 | 9. Who can clearly see his own Natural sinfulness and wretchedness, and not abhor himself as in dust and ashes? |
A57386 | And Hopeless too? |
A57386 | And art not thou Spiritually dead? |
A57386 | And by whom art thou, and shalt thou be thus dreadfully cursed? |
A57386 | And dost thou not commiserate such poor souls, as are still in the gall of bitterness, and bond of iniquity? |
A57386 | And dost thou, with the Devil, z say, Tomorrow? |
A57386 | And is this a condition for thee to rest in? |
A57386 | And then say with the Psalmist; Thou, even thou art to be feared: and who may stand before thee, when once thou art angry? |
A57386 | And then think with thy self; Shall not I endeavour to hinder the eternal loss, and to promote the eternal salvation, of such precious souls? |
A57386 | And then, if that prove thy condition, what will become of thy impenitent; hardned, unbelieving, and Christless soul? |
A57386 | And thou art posting apace to the place of execution, as fast as the wings of speedy time can carry thee? |
A57386 | And what Communion hath light with darkness? |
A57386 | And what shall I say more? |
A57386 | And what''s that to eternity? |
A57386 | And when Death hath severed soul and body, what shall become of thy soul? |
A57386 | And wherefore then dost thou endure? |
A57386 | And wherefore then dost thou kill? |
A57386 | And who ever was actually saved by Christ, if not particularly accepted and applied? |
A57386 | And why should he not in like sort entertain thee, notwithstanding all thy Sins, if thou canst believe in him? |
A57386 | And will any condemned malefactor go merrily to the place of execution? |
A57386 | And wilt thou go laughing to Hell? |
A57386 | And wilt thou hazard this thy precious soul unto infernal torments for ever, for a few rotten pleasures of sin for a season? |
A57386 | And wilt thou put off God with the last? |
A57386 | Are not the Tokens of Spiritual Death clearly upon thee? |
A57386 | Are not their souls, as well as thine own, very precious? |
A57386 | Are these easie things? |
A57386 | Art not without God? |
A57386 | Art thou desirous to believe in him alone for Recovery and Salvation? |
A57386 | Art thou grieved in thine heart thou canst not enough believe in him? |
A57386 | Art thou not without God? |
A57386 | Art thou on the very pits brink of eternal perdition, and but a small puff of breath betwixt thee and Hell, and dost thou not tremble? |
A57386 | Be so pricked and wounded in heart for them, as to cry out to Gods messengers, Men and brethren what shall I do? |
A57386 | But how shal ● this be done? |
A57386 | But when must it be? |
A57386 | Canst not thou humble thy self with fasting? |
A57386 | Canst not thou partake the Sacraments? |
A57386 | Canst not thou pray after a sort? |
A57386 | Canst not thou, O Natural man, hear the Word of God preached? |
A57386 | Christ who best knew the souls true value, said; What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? |
A57386 | Christless? |
A57386 | Conviction, How did it humble Manasses? |
A57386 | Could they not have come better? |
A57386 | Cursed? |
A57386 | Death? |
A57386 | Die thou must, that''s certain; but when, where, how,& c. that''s most uncertain: and how small a matter may bring thee to thine end? |
A57386 | Dost thou believe them? |
A57386 | Doth not thine heart ake? |
A57386 | Et quomodo tandem te appellabimus? |
A57386 | For what? |
A57386 | For, What fellowship hath Righteousness with unrighteousness? |
A57386 | For, What is thy life? |
A57386 | For, how few were within the Church of God, in comparison of them that were without? |
A57386 | For, if the Gospel be taken from thee, or thou from the Gospel, how canst thou repent? |
A57386 | For, what a meer Natural man hath done heretofore, why may not a meer Natural man do again? |
A57386 | For, what if the Spirit of God draw and move the heart so no more? |
A57386 | For, who can once expect or look for Salvation by Christ, without Hope? |
A57386 | Hast thou then experimentally felt the Wormwood and the Gall of thy Natural state of sin and misery? |
A57386 | How by love? |
A57386 | How canst thou believe? |
A57386 | How canst thou eat or drink with any comfort? |
A57386 | How canst thou slumber or sleep one night in quiet? |
A57386 | How did it abase Paul? |
A57386 | How is Iesus Christ to be Accepted and Applyed by Faith, in order to the Sinners Recovery and Salvation by him? |
A57386 | How then canst thou be saved? |
A57386 | How zealous seemed Ioash about repairing of the Temple? |
A57386 | Into everlasting fire prepared? |
A57386 | Into everlasting fire? |
A57386 | Is not thy soul round- beset with sorrow, even unto death? |
A57386 | Is there so small a distance betwixt thee and Death eternal, even a short span or moment of a temporary life, and wilt thou not yet come out of Egypt? |
A57386 | Is this a state wherein thou canst rejoyce, that art every day in danger to tumble headling into Hell? |
A57386 | Life? |
A57386 | Me de te quando suties? |
A57386 | Me loetum quando facies? |
A57386 | Mi JESU, quando venies? |
A57386 | Nay, what can a true Christian do, but an hypocrite( who is the Christians Ape) may imitate it? |
A57386 | Now, how shall man he saved according to Gods promises, that perform not the Condition of the Promises? |
A57386 | O, How can thine heart hold from breaking, thine eyes from dropping, thy bowels from turning within thee? |
A57386 | Of the life to come; and what Promises canst thou desire more? |
A57386 | Oh, What then wilt thou do, when God riseth up? |
A57386 | Quid igitur melius, quid Omnipotentius eo, qui cum mali nihil faciat, benè etiam de malis facit? |
A57386 | Shall it ascend, or descend? |
A57386 | Si mors es, quomodo duras? |
A57386 | Si vita es, quomodo occidis? |
A57386 | Sins against Gods Patience and Long- Suffering, leading thee to Repentance? |
A57386 | Sins against Gods rich Means of Grace? |
A57386 | Sins against Gods severe Judgments; inflicted on others for thine admonition? |
A57386 | Sins against many Motions of Gods Spirit? |
A57386 | Sins against the checks of thine own Conscience? |
A57386 | Sins against the precious Blood of Christ? |
A57386 | Sins against thine own Light? |
A57386 | Sins, for the effecting of which thou hast been far more diligent and industrious, than ever thou wast for the saving of thy precious Soul? |
A57386 | Sins, wherein thou hast long continued? |
A57386 | Sins, wherein thou hast shamefully gloryed? |
A57386 | Sins, which thou hast often re- iterated? |
A57386 | Sirs, what must I do to be saved? |
A57386 | The Extremity and Aggravations of thy Actual Sins, How many and great are they, Have not thy Sins been, Haynous, Crying Sins? |
A57386 | The heart is ● ● eeitful above all things, and desperately w ● ● ked, who can know it? |
A57386 | The sacred breathings of strong cryes and groans, ● ervent desires and prayers, crying Abba Father? |
A57386 | Then is Christ thine Head and Husband to guide thee? |
A57386 | Thine Inhabitant to dwell in thee? |
A57386 | Thy Christ to annoint thee? |
A57386 | Thy Lord and King to rule thee? |
A57386 | To be everlastingly racked with the Devil and his Angels; the worst of all society? |
A57386 | To be everlastingly tormented in fire prepared for the Devil and his Angels? |
A57386 | Under the Wrath of God? |
A57386 | Vitam, an mortem? |
A57386 | Vnbelief rejects Iesus Christ the onely Saviour: How then is it possible the Vnbelievers should be saved? |
A57386 | Was not thy soul, in its first Creation, the principal receptacle and subject of the blessed Image of God? |
A57386 | Was not thy sould a spark of immortality, which no mortals nor meer creatures can possibly kill and destroy? |
A57386 | What Natural man, so dying, can escape it, or endure it? |
A57386 | What a roaring sin then is self- murder, wilful self- murder both of body and soul for ever? |
A57386 | What an aggravation will this be of these infernal fiery torments? |
A57386 | What great and precious Promises are thereupon given thee? |
A57386 | What is more sharp and tormenting to the Sense, then fire? |
A57386 | What is that strait way leading unto life, but the way of God, by Christ, through faith? |
A57386 | What is this broad way leading to destruction, but the sinful and wretched way of the world, the flesh, and the Devil? |
A57386 | What shall I term thee? |
A57386 | What then is the wrath of God, the King of Kings? |
A57386 | What then shall I stile thee? |
A57386 | What wilt thou then say to thy Soul? |
A57386 | What, into fire? |
A57386 | What? |
A57386 | What? |
A57386 | What? |
A57386 | When Christ saves such; who have cause to despair, that desire truly to repent and believe in him? |
A57386 | When Peter''s Hearers were convinced and pricked in heart, then they presently repair to the Apostles, saying, Men and brethren what shall we do? |
A57386 | When for all these Sins of thine God shall bring thee to judgement, Where shalt thou appear? |
A57386 | When thou hopeless wretch comest to die, what will become of thy Soul? |
A57386 | Where Gods Image? |
A57386 | Where the life of God? |
A57386 | Where''s the divine Nature? |
A57386 | Who are those many which go in thereat, but all those that live and die in their sinful and wretched state of Nature? |
A57386 | Who ever was comforted with the richest cordial though never so accurately prepared, if it were never eaten or drunk? |
A57386 | Who ever was, or can be saved without Christ? |
A57386 | Who will seek to the Physician or apply any remedy, that feels no smart of his malady? |
A57386 | Why? |
A57386 | Will it not be infinitely better for thee, To be converted with afew, then to remain carnal with a Multitude? |
A57386 | Without conviction, there''s no true sence of sin and misery: without true sence of sin and misery, who will be humbled for it or weary of it? |
A57386 | and when he visiteth, what wilt thou Answer him? |
A57386 | and who can u ● derstand his errors, how many they are? |
A57386 | his wrath? |
A57386 | m Quis desperaret sibi donanda peccata, quando crimen occisi Christi reis d ● nabatur? |
A57386 | or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? |
A57386 | what a crying sin is murder? |
A57386 | when Christ accepts such; who would not hopefully come to him? |
A57386 | who can dwell with everlasting burnings? |
A57386 | who can so depart from Christ, and that for ever, and not be cursed? |
A57386 | who can understand his Errors? |
A57386 | with the dross and dregs of all? |
A57386 | without God? |
A57386 | — Sirs, What must I do to be saved? |
A65809 | And what might be the reason? |
A65809 | But you will say, that it is true, these are excellent things, if one could live so, it were a blessed life; but alas who can doe it? |
A65809 | Can a woman forget her sucking child, that shee would not have compassion on the son of her womb? |
A65809 | Concerning the works of thy particular calling, have they not justled out the works of thy generall calling? |
A65809 | Concerning thy recreations, have they not been unlawfull recreations in respect of the kinde? |
A65809 | Consider, This is the question of a slave to ask; What must I do? |
A65809 | Didst thou not by thy prayers intend and desire of the Lord power and strength not to depart from him? |
A65809 | Do not even the Publicans the same? |
A65809 | Dost thou stand out? |
A65809 | Fear not little flock, it is your Fathers good will to give you the Kingdom: Do I thus? |
A65809 | Fifthly, Or may not he make it be taken in this sense? |
A65809 | First, It is too high: for what man or Angel is able to be as perfect as God? |
A65809 | For thy Meditation and reading the Word of God, how hast thou performed them? |
A65809 | For thy prayers, hast thou not oomitted thy seven times a day, if thou hast attained with David to that number? |
A65809 | For thy thoughts, what have they been? |
A65809 | Hast thou been more faithfull, humble, charitable,& c? |
A65809 | Hast thou endeavoured to obtain those mercies and graces that thou prayedst for? |
A65809 | Have not vain thoughts lodged in thee? |
A65809 | Have thy words been to edification? |
A65809 | How comes it to passe, that it is not so now? |
A65809 | How exceedingly wouldst thou prize that Letter? |
A65809 | How wilt thou spend eternity in the admirings, adoreings and praysings of God, if an hour spent so, is now so irksome to thee? |
A65809 | I answer, what then? |
A65809 | I answer; First, If thou sayst thou canst not live thus, I ask thee how dost thou know? |
A65809 | If a friend should come to desire a courtesie of you, do you so answer him? |
A65809 | Is it a friendly answer? |
A65809 | Is it thus with me? |
A65809 | Is not God their all? |
A65809 | It may be thou hast had some perfunctory and carelesse desires, some cold prayers and faint endeavours; but didst thou ever set thy self to it? |
A65809 | Lastly, Do I believe this, that God will give the Kingdom of Heaven to such? |
A65809 | Love God with all thy soul, with all thy minde, and with all thy strength; and then thou wilt ask, not, Why so much? |
A65809 | Nay, it is so; but how comes it to passe, that it is not so to us? |
A65809 | Seventhly, When thou hast raised any observation from the words, then thou art to put one of these three questions to thy selfe; Do I thus? |
A65809 | Shall we leave an Heaven of joys, the God of mercies? |
A65809 | So David had a whole Kingdome to look to, besides continuall wars, and yet how often did he pray, every day; how frequent was he in meditation? |
A65809 | So, if an Angel should bring a message from heaven to us, how would we observe and follow it? |
A65809 | Suppose God, when you goe to prayers, should answer you so, How can you prove that I am bound to give you such a mercy? |
A65809 | That he knew nothing by himself? |
A65809 | Then, Is it thus with me? |
A65809 | Thirdly, That the wickedest man may have something good in him, but nothing perfect; and as it followes; What reward have ye? |
A65809 | Was Satan, the flesh, the world, all or either of these not their enemies as much as ours? |
A65809 | Wel, how hast thou prayed? |
A65809 | Well, after that, what didst thou doe such an hour and such and hour,& c? |
A65809 | Well, but what are thy thoughts when thou first wakest? |
A65809 | Well, what didst thou think of afterwards, didst thou keep thy thoughts close to God, untill thy morning exercise? |
A65809 | What can Christ say or do more then he hath done? |
A65809 | What do you think now? |
A65809 | What have thy words been? |
A65809 | What high expressions of joy, love, and heavenly desires are there in the Psalms? |
A65809 | What power have they had upon thy heart this day? |
A65809 | What resolutions didst thou make? |
A65809 | What returns of thy prayers hast thou had this day? |
A65809 | What were thy prayers? |
A65809 | What, doe we think all these holy Examples are set down in the Scripture to find us matter of discourse? |
A65809 | Where, when, and with whom hast thou discoursed, and what hath thy discourse been of? |
A65809 | Whether ye eat or drinke, or whatsoever ye do, doe all to the glory of God: do we live up to the meaning of these words? |
A65809 | With what reverence and attention would''st thou observe, and what obedience to a tittle would''st thou give to such Messages? |
A65809 | Wouldest thou not mark every word, and every syllable? |

A65809 | an Infant of its life, for no default of either? |
A65809 | and Daniel? |
A65809 | and can we imagine that the lives of those that take upon them the names of Christians, are any whit sutable to these expressions? |
A65809 | and foolish, for would not the living child be dead when it was divided into half? |
A65809 | and how hast thou kept them? |

A65809 | and what enemies or hinderances have we that they had not? |

A65809 | are they of God, or of the World? |
A65809 | but doth it not much rather import a sweet, constant, and strict communion with God? |
A65809 | but the question of a friend and a child is, What may I doe to please my Father or my friend? |

A65809 | didst thou ever make it thy businesse? |
A65809 | didst thou ever pray with half that earnestnesse for grace, as ambitious men do sue for places and preferments, or a condemned man for a pardon? |
A65809 | didst thou ever try what might be done in this case? |
A65809 | do we honour God as much as we do honour an Angel, or an holy man? |
A65809 | do you think the Emperor wil be pleased with her, coming upon those terms? |
A65809 | for if the Sunne shines upon the good, how can it but shine upon the bad also, since they are in one Kingdome, in one Towne, in one house? |

A65809 | one may say of your blessings, Have not the Publicans the same? |
A65809 | or had they better weapons and armour to fight against them then we have? |
A65809 | or have not thy recreations taken up too much time? |
A65809 | or have not thy thoughts been taken up too much with them? |
A65809 | or have not thy thoughts of God been such that thou shouldest have had of the world, and thoughts of the world such as thou shouldest have had of God? |
A65809 | or how often soever thy set times are, hast thou not omitted them? |
A65809 | or that the wisedome of God set down an idaea of holinesse, as Plato hath done of a Common- wealth? |
A65809 | or were they not set down for our imitation? |

A65809 | to what a numberlesse number would they arise to in few years? |
A65809 | were they faithfull, fervent, reverent, humble? |
A65809 | with how much faith, zeal, meeknesse, holinesse, breathings after God did they live? |
A65809 | yea they may forget, yet will not I forget thee: the Lord doth not say, can women? |
A65610 | ( except your necessary rest;) And that your time and wealth are but his talen ● s? |
A65610 | Alas, sirs, have you all this to do? |
A65610 | And are you ready with well grounded hope and peace, to wellcome death, and appear in judgement? |
A65610 | And bethink your selves whether a servant may say, I will do less work than my fellow servants, because I have more wages? |
A65610 | And hereby shew that your Repentance is hypocritical, and will not prove the pardon of your sin? |
A65610 | And is it not worse that you deal with God? |
A65610 | And therefore the common excuse of such twatlers is this: I hope that it is no harm: yea, but what good was it? |
A65610 | And to increase our pity, when they have done they ask,[ What harm is there in cards and dice, in stage- playes and Romances? |
A65610 | And when he saw him fit for an admonition, would wisely bestow it upon him? |
A65610 | And whether God have not only the leavings of your flesh? |
A65610 | And whether those things which should have none, and those which should have little, have not almost all? |
A65610 | And whether you may do less for God, because he giveth you more than others? |
A65610 | And why then in Baptism did you renounce them and vow to follow Christ? |
A65610 | And will you yet live so contrary to your prayers, to your consciences, and to reason it self? |
A65610 | And yet have you Time to spare on Vanity? |
A65610 | Are you regenerate and rènewed to the Heavenly nature? |
A65610 | Are you strong and stablished in grace? |
A65610 | Are your hearts in Heaven? |
A65610 | As if he had said Ho, Sir, it is time to get up; what not out of your b ● d yet, at this time of the day? |
A65610 | Believe it, O man and Woman, it is to do all that ever must be done, to prepare for an everlasting life? |
A65610 | But alas, how do the common sort of men bewray their monstrous folly in this behalf? |
A65610 | But if you say, Yea; I pray you then tell us how much Time Christ or any of his Apostles, did spend at cards, or dice, or stage- playes? |
A65610 | Did they waste so much of the day, in nothings, and need- nots as our slothful sensual Gentry do? |
A65610 | Did you ever find such a prayer in any Prayer book? |
A65610 | Do you believe that you must give an account of your Time? |
A65610 | Do you consider well the shortness and uncertainty of your Time? |
A65610 | Do you know who attendeth you while you are loitering away your Time? |
A65610 | Do you mark what dying men say of Time, and how they value it? |
A65610 | Do you really take Christ, and his Apostles and Saints, to be the fittest pattern for the spending of your time? |
A65610 | Do you sober ● y consider, what work you have for all your time? |
A65610 | Do you think if you neglect and lose your Time, that ever you should come again into this world, to spend it better? |
A65610 | Doth it not awaken and amaze thy soul, to think what it is to be for ever; I say, for ever, in Ioy or Misery? |
A65610 | Doth it not tell you what you have to do, and call upon you to dispatch it? |
A65610 | First, he calls him up( as it were) saying; How long wilt thou sleep, when wilt thou rise out of thy sleep? |
A65610 | For do we not plainly see, what a canker it is in a number of mens lives? |
A65610 | For do we not see, that in many places, whole dayes are cast away in the deep gulf of roving, and unprofitable runnagate- babling to no purpose? |
A65610 | For when wisdom laughes a man to scorn, whither shall he repair for succour? |
A65610 | Gentlemen and Ladies, I envy not your pleasures: I have my self a body with its proper appetites, which would be gratified, as well as you? |
A65610 | Give not all( ah, why should we give any of it?) |
A65610 | Had you not rather that it had been spent in fruitful holiness and good works, than in idleness and fleshly pleasures? |
A65610 | Have you deeply considered that everlasting condition is, which all your Time is given you to prepare for? |
A65610 | Have you made sure of pardon and salvation? |

A65610 | Have you not a God to serve? |
A65610 | Have you not an outward calling to follow? |
A65610 | Have you not death and judgement to prepare for? |
A65610 | Have you not servants and children to instruct and educate( And O what a deal of labour do ● h their ignorance and obstinacy require? |
A65610 | How can it chuse but be a great hinderance to a mans estate to sleep in harvest, and to be in bed at such a time, when so much wealth is bestowing? |
A65610 | How can one have treasure in Heaven, that never laid up any there? |
A65610 | How can you chuse but tremble when you think how you spend your dai ● s? |
A65610 | How do you now wish that you had spent the Time which is already past? |
A65610 | How full of grace should his old age and sickness be, that would give his health to God, and his first years to the service of his soul? |
A65610 | How great acquaintance might he get in the palace of Wisdom, that would come to her at her first call, and enter so soon as the doors were set open? |
A65610 | How many false opinions have you to be untaught? |
A65610 | How many fervent prayers might he store up in heaven that would not fore- slow time, when he feels his desires earnest? |
A65610 | How many graces to be obtained? |
A65610 | How many have died suddenly? |
A65610 | How many pernicious customs to be changed? |

A65610 | How many weighty lessons to learn? |
A65610 | How many winter nights do men suffer themselves to be robbed of, by this childish babling? |
A65610 | How much thankfulness might he have, that would lift up his heart to God in the fruition of blessing? |
A65610 | How often and how earnestly are men exhorted to all good works by the continual voice of God, speaking unto them by his servants? |
A65610 | How ordinarily do good and bad then wish, that they had spent Time better, and cry out, O that it were to spend again? |
A65610 | How short is your abode in your present dwelling like to be, in comparison of your abode in dust and darkness? |
A65610 | How think you the miserable souls in Hell would value Time, if they were again sent hither, and tryed with it again on the terms as we are? |
A65610 | If not, you have not so much as a shadow of Repentance; and therefore can have no just conceit that you are forgiven? |
A65610 | If this be so, I am not reprehending you; But I beseech you consider, Have you ● o ● souls to regard as well as others? |
A65610 | If yea, then why will you do that for the Time to come, which you wish for the time past that you had never done? |
A65610 | If you do not your work well, shall you ever come again to mend it? |
A65610 | If you do not, why do you usurp the name of Christians: Is he a Christian who would not live like Christians? |
A65610 | If you do, what account will then be most comfortab ● y to you? |
A65610 | If you have no pains or sickness to admonish you, do you not know what a fragile thing is fl ● sh? |
A65610 | If you idle away this life, will God ever give you another here? |
A65610 | Is it easie to get a solid faith? |
A65610 | Is it not lawful to use such and such recreations?] |

A65610 | Is the Devil idle while you are idle? |
A65610 | Is the work that you were made for hitherto well done? |
A65610 | Is your Recreation but as the Mowers whe ● ting of his sythe? |
A65610 | Look back on all your Time that is past, and tell me whether it made not haste? |
A65610 | Must you stay on earth so short a time, and have you any of this little time to spare? |
A65610 | Now what a miserable loss is it when a man is robbed of his time, and of his heart both at once? |
A65610 | O what a heart hath that stupified sinner, that can ● idle away that little Time, which is allotted him to prepare for his everlasting state? |
A65610 | O what a large encrease of grace would this care bring? |
A65610 | Sometimes, if men see their servants standing idle and unbusied, they can ask them with a kind of indignation, What, can you find nothing to do? |
A65610 | Tell me, or tell your consciences, How would you form such a prayer to God for your recovery if you were now sick? |
A65610 | That knoweth he shall have but this hastly life to win or lose eternal Glory in, and can play it away as if he had nothing to do with it? |
A65610 | The worth of Time, is for the work that is to be done in Time? |
A65610 | Then for idle thoughts; who makes question of them almost? |
A65610 | They let pass all good opportunities, and care not for any occasion for the soul, and how can their soul thrive? |
A65610 | What great grace would affliction bring, if a man would settle himself to humiliation, and gage his heart in time of affliction? |

A65610 | Why stand you all the day idle? |
A65610 | Will not graves and bones, and dust instruct you? |
A65610 | Will not the tolling of the Bell instruct you? |
A65610 | Will you take it for a satisfactory answer? |
A65610 | Would they feast it away, and play it away as you do now; and then say, Are not playes and cards and feasting lawful? |
A65610 | Would you say, Lord give me a little more Time to play at cards and dice in? |
A65610 | Yea so much of it as you daily waste, in idleness, play and vain curiosity? |
A65610 | a certainty of the pardon of all our sins, and of our title to e ● ernal happiness? |

A65610 | and how many sweet and chearful Psalms might a Christian sing, if he would turn all his mirth into a Psalm; and offer it up to God? |
A65610 | and in the labours of a lawful bodily employment? |
A65610 | and is your daily coversation there? |
A65610 | and on how important a business you come into the world? |
A65610 | and preserving fear? |

A65610 | or that taketh not Christ for his Master and Example? |
A65610 | or were but insignificant words? |
A65610 | or, what if that should come to pass? |
A65610 | suppose they were all unquestionably lawful, Have you no greater matter that while to do? |
A65610 | suppose you had seventy years to live, how soon will they be gone? |
A65610 | that will exercise your bodies and minds more profitably, or at least with less expence of Time? |

A17320 | And now( to meet with Christs instance againe) How doth the Moth gnaw the cloth? |
A17320 | And therefore as Nehemiah( when he considered the place of Magistracie and rule wherein hee was) said, Should, should, a man as I flye? |
A17320 | And what assaults of Theeues is there against the priuie Chambers, and Closets of rich men? |
A17320 | And what doth the continuall returne of Bryars and weeds, but minister perpetuall matter of toyle and strife? |
A17320 | And would you seeke him indeed? |
A17320 | Are not the Windes at continuall conflicts among themselues? |
A17320 | Are they not( for the most part) accounted as Iudasses and tray- Gods? |
A17320 | But alas, how few regard this? |
A17320 | But how may that be( will some say) or how may a man know by the affections of the heart, where the hearts treasure is? |
A17320 | But how shall wee know whether our hearts be in heauen, and Gods holy spirit be in our hearts? |
A17320 | But if thou or thy estate be called into question, as whose is not somtime? |
A17320 | But thou canst not see it, nor feele it, thou canst not pray so effectually as thou wert wo nt to doe,& c. What then? |
A17320 | But though these cease, yet disagreement ceaseth not: for what hart- burning is there euen in Loue? |
A17320 | But what are the commodities and Riches of that Heauenly Ierusalem, and the Cittizens therof, that can not bee valued? |
A17320 | But what earthly parents haue so great interest in their children, as God hath in vs? |

A17320 | Doe not the Elements which be of contrary qualities striue one against another? |
A17320 | Doe they not assault one another with lyes? |
A17320 | Doe they not dye deepe in debt, plunged in despaire, voyd of comfort, and without confidence in God? |
A17320 | Doe they not promise largely, deny impudently, and falsifie vniustly their promises? |
A17320 | Doe they not sweare fasly, to deceiue one another? |
A17320 | Doe they not thus deale which are onely deuoted and altogether addicted to the Treasures and pleasures of this World? |
A17320 | Doe they not vndermine one with another with deepe dissembling? |
A17320 | Doe they not work vpon the aduantage, and take the extrenitie of Law one against another? |

A17320 | Hipocrites( saith hee) Yee can discerne the face of the Earth, and of the Skie, but why discerne yee not this time? |
A17320 | How many complaints, what suspicions are there amongst Louers? |
A17320 | How they liue wee haue heard, but how doe they dye? |
A17320 | If I be your father( saith the Lord) where is my honour? |
A17320 | In a word; did euer any imploy his talent to the Lords aduantage, and not more to his owne aduantage? |
A17320 | In other liuing creatures( saith hee) it is not so, and why? |
A17320 | Is it not Nabal- like? |
A17320 | Is not their wedge of Golde their confidence? |
A17320 | Nay more, is not euery mans opinion& Iudgement contrary to himselfe? |
A17320 | Neither are these all the discommodities that thy Treasure is subiect vnto, who knoweth not that the Fire may consume them, as it hath done thousands? |

A30160 | Above, you read, that the Scribes and Pharisees said to his Disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with Publicans and Sinners? |
A30160 | An ● what did you reply, saith the Tempted? |
A30160 | And has these desires put thy Soul to the flight? |

A30160 | And so I may say, what think you of ten thousand more besides? |
A30160 | And what if God will cross his Book and blot out the hand- writing that is against thee, and not let thee know it as yet? |
A30160 | And what if thou waitest upon God all thy days? |
A30160 | And what matter can be found in the Soul for Humility to work by so well, as by a sight that I have been and am an abominable Sinner? |
A30160 | And what then? |
A30160 | And what, did you d ● spair? |
A30160 | And why to shew by these, the exceeding Riches of his Grace to the Ages to come thorow Christ Jesus? |
A30160 | And would I, as was said afore, be throughly saved, to wit, from the filth, as from the guilt? |
A30160 | And, I say, as I said before, in whom is it like so to shine, as in the Souls of great sinners? |
A30160 | Answer, Art thou returning to God? |
A30160 | Art not thou a Murderer, a Thief, a Harlot, a Witch, a sinner of the greatest size, and dost thou look for mercy now? |
A30160 | Art thou crossed, disappointed and waylaid, and overthrown in all thy foolish ways and doings? |
A30160 | Art thou followed with affliction, and dost thou hear God''s angry voice in thy afflictions? |
A30160 | Art thou indeed weary of the service of th ● old Master the Devil, Sin and the World? |
A30160 | Art thou jogged, and shaken, and molested at the hearing of the Word? |
A30160 | Art thou visited in the Night seasons with dreams about thy state, and that thou art in danger of being lost? |
A30160 | Ay, that''s well for you Paul; but what advantage have we thereby? |
A30160 | Because Christ died for men, shall I therefore Spit in his Face? |
A30160 | But I am a Reprobate? |
A30160 | But I have not only a base Heart, but I have lived a debauched Life? |
A30160 | But I say, what is this to him, that would fain be saved by Christ? |
A30160 | But I say, why all these, thus named? |
A30160 | But I was one of them that bare false Witness against him: Is there Grace for me? |
A30160 | But I was one of them that in his extremity said, Give him Gall and Vinegar to drink, why may not I expect the same when anguish and guilt is upon me? |
A30160 | But I was one of them that plotted to take away his Life: May I be saved by him? |
A30160 | But Paul, what moved thee thus to do? |
A30160 | But how shall I give thee up, Ephraim? |
A30160 | But if this be the sin unpardonable, why is it called the sin against the Holy Ghost, and not rather the sin against the Son of God? |
A30160 | But my Heart continually frets against the Lord? |
A30160 | But my grey Head is found in the way of wickedness? |
A30160 | But suppose a man should deny his God, or his Christ, or relinquish a good Profession, and be under the real guilt thereof? |
A30160 | But was there not something of moment in this Clause of the Commission? |
A30160 | But what Grace is this? |
A30160 | But what did he speak to them? |
A30160 | But what is it that has got thy Heart, and that keeps it from thy Saviour? |
A30160 | But what was Paul, and the Ephesian- Sinners? |
A30160 | But what was Paul? |
A30160 | But what was the reason thereof? |
A30160 | But when he shall see the Thief that was saved on the Cross, stand by, as clothed with beauteous Glory, what further can he be able to object? |
A30160 | But where do you find that ever the Lord did thus rowl in his Bowels for, and after any Self- righteous man? |
A30160 | But who are these? |
A30160 | But who believes that this was Gods design in shewing Mercy of old? |
A30160 | But why did he do all this? |
A30160 | But why did the Devil stir up her to cry so? |
A30160 | But why did these do thus? |
A30160 | But why doth the Devil do thus? |
A30160 | But why speaks he so particularly? |
A30160 | But why speedily? |
A30160 | But will it not, think you, strangely put to silence all such thonghts, and words, and reasonings of the Ungodly before the Barr of God? |
A30160 | But, I say, Why so unconcerned? |
A30160 | But, I say, how can these Scriptures be fulfilled, if he that would indeed be saved as before, has sinned the sin unpardonable? |
A30160 | Can the Floods drown it? |
A30160 | Can the Waters quench it? |
A30160 | Canst thou defend thy self? |
A30160 | Canst thou hear this, and not be concerned? |
A30160 | Canst thou not so much as once soberly think of thy dyi ● g hour? |
A30160 | Carest thou not for this? |
A30160 | Consider, I say, has he made a hedge, and a Wall to stop thee? |
A30160 | Could he not, think you, have stooped from the Cross to the Ground, and have laid hold on some honester man if he would? |
A30160 | Cruel as the Grave? |
A30160 | Do I love Christ, his Father, his Saints, his Word and Ways? |
A30160 | Do I see salvation is no where but in Christ? |
A30160 | Does thy hand and heart tremble? |
A30160 | Dost fly to him that is a Saviour from the wrath to come, for life? |
A30160 | Dost thou think that Christ will foul his fingers with thee? |
A30160 | Doth he then command that his Mercy should be offered in the first place to the biggest Sinners? |
A30160 | Doth it look like what hath any Coherence with Reason or Mercy, for a man to abuse his Friend? |
A30160 | Eighthly, Would Jesus Christ have Mercy offered in the first place to the biggest Sinners? |
A30160 | Eleventhly, Would Jesus Christ have Mercy offered in the first place to the biggest Sinners? |
A30160 | FIrst, Would Jesus Christ have Mercy offered in the first place to the biggest sinners? |
A30160 | Fifthly, Would Jesus Christ have Mercy offered in the first place to the biggest sinners? |
A30160 | First, Dost thou see thy sins? |
A30160 | For what will sting like this? |
A30160 | For why are these things thus recorded, but to shew to Sinners what he can do, to the praise and glory of his grace? |
A30160 | Fourthly, Would Jesus Christ have Mercy offered in the first place to the biggest sinners? |
A30160 | Glorified God] How is that? |
A30160 | Has he crossed th ● e in all thou pu ● test thy hand- unto? |
A30160 | Hast no Judgmemt? |
A30160 | Hast no Soul? |
A30160 | Hast no affliction but what is bruitish? |
A30160 | Hast thou Heart- shaken apprehensions when deep sleep''s upon thee, of Hell, Death, and Judgment to come? |
A30160 | Hast thou any inticing touches of the word of God upon thy mind? |
A30160 | Hast thou no Conscience? |
A30160 | Hast thou not Reason? |
A30160 | Hast thou through desires betaken thy self to thy heels? |
A30160 | Hast thou, thinkest thou, found any thing so good as Jesus Christ? |
A30160 | Hath it not a most vehement flame? |
A30160 | Having so often sold thy self to me to work wickedness, wilt thou forsake me now? |
A30160 | How canst thou find in thy heart to set thy self against Grace, against such Grace as offereth Mercy to thee? |
A30160 | How shall I deliver thee Israel? |
A30160 | How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? |
A30160 | How shall I make thee as Admah? |
A30160 | How shall I set thee 〈 ◊ 〉 Zeboim? |
A30160 | I am under the force of it, and this is my continual cry, What shall I render to the Lord for all the Benefits which he has bestow ● d upon me? |
A30160 | I mean the reason from God? |
A30160 | I say therefore to thee that art thus, And w ● y Despair? |
A30160 | I say, what excuse can they make for themselves, when they shall be asked why they did not in the day of S ● lvation come to Christ to be saved? |
A30160 | If we do take occasion to do so, that we may drop, and be yet distilling some good Doctrine upon their Souls? |
A30160 | Is it below thee? |
A30160 | Is it fit to say unto God, Thou art hard- hearted? |
A30160 | Is it not pity, had it otherwise been the Will of God that ever thou wast made a M ● n, for that thou settest so little by thy Soul? |
A30160 | Is it not strong as Death? |
A30160 | Is not He ● ven worth thy affection? |
A30160 | Is not Love of the greatest force to oblige? |
A30160 | Is not here incouragement for those that think, for wicked Hearts and Lives, they have not their fellows in the World? |
A30160 | Is not this an incouragement to the biggest sinners to make their Application to Christ for Mercy? |
A30160 | Is there any among thy Sins, thy Companions, and foolish Delights, that like Christ, can help thee in the day of thy distress? |
A30160 | Is there not every where in God''s Books sl ● t contradiction to this, in multitudes of Promises, of Invitations, of Examples, and the like? |
A30160 | Is there room for me? |
A30160 | Is thy Conscience awakened and convinced then, that thou art at present in a perishing state, and that thou hast need to cry to God for M ● rcy? |
A30160 | It has oft- times come into my mind, to ask, by what means it is, That the Gospel Profession should be so Taunted with Loose and Carnal Gospellers? |
A30160 | Ninthly, Would Jesus Christ have Mercy offered in the first place to the biggest Sinners? |
A30160 | No affection for the God that made thee? |
A30160 | Now I say, If there be room for the first sort, for those of the biggest size; certainly there is room for the lesser size? |
A30160 | Now since Christ Jesus is willing to save the Vilest, why should they not by Name be somewhat acquainted with it, and bid come to him under that Name? |
A30160 | Now since this is so, what can the Condemned at the Judgement say for themselves, why Sentence of Death should not be passed upon them? |
A30160 | Now what does Mary? |
A30160 | Now why should we lay hands cross on this Text, that is, choose good Victuals, and love the sweet Wine better than the Salvation of the poor Publican? |
A30160 | Or doest thou think thou shalt escape the Judgment? |
A30160 | Or dost think thou mayest lose thy S ● ul, and save thy self? |
A30160 | Or how shall a man be able to give to others a satisfactory account of his unseigned subjection to the Gospel, that yet abides in his impenitency? |
A30160 | Sec ● ndly, With respect to thy desires, what are they? |
A30160 | Secondly, Art thou weary of them? |
A30160 | Secondly, Would Jesus Christ have Mercy offered in the first place to the biggest Sinners, to the Jerusalem sinners? |
A30160 | Sermon being done, up she gets, and away she goes, and withal, enquired where this Jesus the Preacher dined that day? |
A30160 | Seventhly, Would Jesus Christ have Mercy offered in the first place to the biggest Sinners? |
A30160 | Shall Christ weep to see thy Soul going on to destruction, and wilt thou sport thy self in That way? |
A30160 | Shall God enter this Complaint against thee? |
A30160 | Shall he therefore conclude he is gone for ever? |
A30160 | Shall not this lay Obli ● ation upon me? |
A30160 | Shall they fall, saith he, and not arise? |
A30160 | Shall they turn away, and not return? |
A30160 | Should a Man ask me how he should know that he loveth the Children of God? |
A30160 | Some, as I said, that Revolt, are shot dead upon the place, and for them, who can help them? |
A30160 | Tell me therefore which of them will love him most? |
A30160 | Tengthly, Would Jesus Christ have Mercy offered in the first place to the biggest Sinners? |
A30160 | Thirdly, Wouldst thou with all thy heart be saved by Jesus Christ? |
A30160 | Thou horrible Wretch, dost not know, that thou hast sinned thy self beyond the reach of Grace, and dost think to find Mercy now? |
A30160 | Thou scrupulous fool, where canst thou find that God was ever false to his Promise, or that he ever deceived the Soul that ventured it self upon him? |
A30160 | Was not this a strange act, and a display of unthought- of grace? |
A30160 | Were there none but Thieves there, or were the rest of that company out of his reach? |
A30160 | What Man or Angel could have thought that the Jerusalem- sinners had been yet on this side of an impossibity of enjoying Life and Mercy? |
A30160 | What Spirit possesseth thee, and holds thee back from a sincere closure with ● hy Saviour? |
A30160 | What gro ● nd now is here for Despair? |
A30160 | What ground then to despair? |
A30160 | What if God will be silent to thee, is that ground of despair? |
A30160 | What kind of Preacher is he, said she? |
A30160 | What more can be objected? |
A30160 | What saist thou? |
A30160 | What think you of the first Man, by whose sins there are millions now in Hell? |
A30160 | What will become of me, think you? |
A30160 | What, my true Servant( quoth he) my old Servant, wilt thou forsake me now? |
A30160 | What, none for his loving Son that has shewed his love, and dyed for thee? |
A30160 | When God made me sigh, they would harken, and enquiringly say, What''s the matter with John? |
A30160 | When the Jayler cried out, Sirs, What must I do to be saved? |
A30160 | When thou art called to an account for thy neglects of so great Salvation, what canst thou answer? |
A30160 | Where is he that is thus under pangs of love for the Grace bestowed upon him by Jesus Christ? |
A30160 | Wherefore is it said, Begin at Jerusalem, if the Jerusalem sinner is not to have the benefit of it? |
A30160 | Wherefore, at present, lay the thoughts of thy Election by, and ask thy self these questions; Do I see my lost condition? |
A30160 | Whether wilt thou go? |
A30160 | Who among the Sons of the Mighty can be likened unto the Lord? |
A30160 | Who in the Heavens can be compared unto the Lord? |
A30160 | Why betook not I my self to the holy Word of God? |
A30160 | Why did I judge of his ability to save me by the voice of my shallow reason, and the voice of a guilty Conscience? |
A30160 | Why did I not humbly cast my Soul at his bless ● d foot stool for Mercy? |
A30160 | Why dost thou put him off? |
A30160 | Why not familiar with sinners provided we hate their spots and blemishes, and seek that they may be healed of them? |
A30160 | Why not fellowly with our Carnal Neighbours? |
A30160 | Why not go to the poor Man''s House, and give him a Penny, and a Scripture to think upon? |
A30160 | Why should Satan molest those whose ways he knows will bring them to him? |
A30160 | Why should not Devils and Damned Souls d ● spair? |
A30160 | Why so? |
A30160 | Why, there is Faith, and Wild Fai ● h; and Wild Faith is this Presumption? |
A30160 | Wny sittest thou still? |
A30160 | Would I share in this salvation by Faith of him? |
A30160 | Wouldst thou be saved from guilt, and filth too? |
A30160 | Wouldst thou be saved with a thorow salvation? |
A30160 | Wouldst thou be saved? |
A30160 | Wouldst thou be the servant of thy Saviour? |
A30160 | Yea, why should not Man despair of getting to Heaven by his own abilities? |
A30160 | Yëa, why did he say, Begin at Jerusalem? |
A30160 | and hotter than the Coals of Juniper? |
A30160 | arise; why standest thou still? |
A30160 | but who when called, was there in the World, in whom Grace shone so bright as in him? |
A30160 | for me? |
A30160 | if at any time any of them are mentioned, how seemingly coldly doth the Record of Scripture present them to us? |
A30160 | or how? |
A30160 | or of, whether thy sinful life will drive thee then? |
A30160 | what, none at all? |
A30160 | which is strongest, think''st thou, God or thee? |
A30160 | why did not I give glory to the Redeeming Blood of Jesus? |
A30160 | why dost thou stop thine ear? |
A30160 | why have we not a Catalogue of some Holy men that were so in their own eyes, and in the judgment of the World? |

A67743 | Againe, why doe these men inveigh and preach against preaching? |
A67743 | And Saul touching David? |
A67743 | And have not we the like murmurers? |
A67743 | And have they not reason thus to do? |
A67743 | And indeed, Who should goe to Hell, if cursers should be left out? |
A67743 | And indeed, how should they, when every word they speake is a slander? |
A67743 | And indeed, what is the corporal sympathy to the spiritual antipathy? |
A67743 | And indeed, whom not heroicall in fortitude( the case standing as it doth) would it not discourage and beat back to the world? |
A67743 | And is it not iust with God, to say, they would none of Christ, let them welcome Sathan and Antichrist? |

A67743 | And shall not men tremble to deny, what the Devils confesse? |
A67743 | And so fight under Sathans banner against Gods people: And yet take your selves to bee( not Sathans but) Gods servants? |
A67743 | And that whosoever will be a friend of the World maketh him ● elfe the enemy of God? |
A67743 | And the Master himselfe? |
A67743 | And thus you see, That nothing but goodnesse is the whet ● ● on of their malice; which being so, are not we heathenish Christians? |
A67743 | And what do the Cavaliers now, in killing the Saints? |
A67743 | And what is it that Iobs Wife expostulates with him about, but his integrity? |
A67743 | And what is light to him, that will shut his eyes against it? |

A67743 | Are ye Christians in earnest? |
A67743 | As how many a Wife is so much the more hated, because a zealous Wife? |
A67743 | As what can bee further expected? |
A67743 | As what makes them contemne us, but, together with pride, their ignorance? |
A67743 | As what saith the wicked in Davids time? |
A67743 | As what stone so rough, but hee can smooth it? |
A67743 | As, why doe their hearts rise against every holy man they see? |
A67743 | BVt to speak really, and as the truth is, why doe they use all these discouragements? |
A67743 | Be ● ides, What should he doe with a talent, that will not improve it? |
A67743 | Betweene whom was this Enmity proclamed? |
A67743 | But Saint Chrysostome, in opening of those words saith, Nay rather, Who is not against us, if God be with us? |
A67743 | But how can God be the Author of it, without being the Author of Sin? |
A67743 | But shall Lot ▪ leave his righteousnesse for such an imputation of singularity? |
A67743 | But what a shame? |
A67743 | But what is the end of these tale- bearers, and informers against good men? |
A67743 | But what saith David? |
A67743 | But what saith Sincerity? |
A67743 | But why into prison? |
A67743 | But why is it? |
A67743 | But will you know, how it comes to passe? |
A67743 | But yet further, what saith Saint Paul? |
A67743 | By whom was that vertuous and religious Lady Barbara put to death, for imbracing the Christian Faith, but by her owne Father Dioscorus? |
A67743 | Can there be such a parity between the Parent and the Childe, the Husband and the Wife, as there is a disparity between God and Satan? |
A67743 | Doe ye not perceive, that God either speaks it in a holy derision? |
A67743 | Doe yee beleeve the word? |
A67743 | Doe you indeed beleeve, that hee who is truth it selfe; speakes as hee meanes in his word? |
A67743 | Doe you not sharpen your tongues in gall; and dip your pens in poyson, to disgrace the graces of God in his children? |
A67743 | For if Christians be charged to blesse their enemies; what will bee their case, that curse their friends? |
A67743 | For if they be spiritually discerned, how should they discern them, that have not the Spirit? |
A67743 | For, what is the notionall sweetnesse of honey, to the experimentall taste of it? |
A67743 | HOw is it, that the practice of Christianity is every where spoken against, under the name of Schisme, as the chiefe Iewes told Paul in his time? |
A67743 | Hath God made any promise to Scoffers? |
A67743 | Hee that is so frighted with a squib, how would he endure the mouth of a Cannon? |
A67743 | How contrary are good Angels and evill men? |
A67743 | How contrary are they? |
A67743 | How doth that appeare? |
A67743 | How is that proved? |
A67743 | How many a Childe lesse beloved, because a religious Childe? |
A67743 | How many a Servant lesse respected, because a godly Servant? |
A67743 | How should Naboth be cleanly put to death, if he be not first accused of blasphemy? |
A67743 | I will put enmity betweene the seed of the serpent and the seed of the woman, Gen. 3.15? |
A67743 | I, but what have they whereupon to ground their accusations? |
A67743 | IN the last place what are the Actuall Properties? |
A67743 | If Sampson be thus punished, shal the Philistims escape? |
A67743 | If the godly suffer so many, and grievous afflictions here; what shall his adversaries suffer in hell? |
A67743 | If the righteous shall scarcely be saved, were shall the ungodly and sinner appeare? |
A67743 | If they have called the Master of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of his household? |
A67743 | Is it any strange thing, to see a blinde man stumble and fall? |
A67743 | Is it done in faith, and out of right ends as out of love, and obedience? |
A67743 | Is it not a capitall crime to bee vertuous? |
A67743 | Is not the name of an honest man, who makes conscience of his wayes, growne odious? |
A67743 | Is the World mended with age? |
A67743 | Is this Christian- like? |
A67743 | It s true, but in what sense? |
A67743 | Know ye not, that to whom ye yeeld your selves as servants to obey; his servants ye are to whom ye obey? |
A67743 | Know yee not( saith St. Iames) that the Amity of the World, is the Enmity of God? |
A67743 | Loe here is reward enough for all that men or divills can do against us: And what will not men undergoe, so their reward may be answerable? |
A67743 | Nay( if I may speak it with reverence) what meanes can God use that shall be able to convert such an one? |
A67743 | Neither want we precedents of this; For, by whom was upright Abel persecuted and slain, but by his owne brother Caine? |
A67743 | Not some, but all: and what all, but even all that will live godly? |
A67743 | Now if it be askt, Why a naturall man perceiveth not the things of the Spirit of God? |
A67743 | Objection, But you will say, what is this to us? |
A67743 | Or are you wiser then all? |
A67743 | Or can the Crosse of Christ, save them that continue malitious enemies to his Crosse? |
A67743 | Or hath he spoaken the word, and shall not hee accomplish it? |
A67743 | Or if otherwise, they look on our infirmities, they looke not on our graces, on our repentance? |
A67743 | Or must the name of a Puritan, dishearten us from the service of God? |
A67743 | Or shall he not depart Sodom, because the whole City thinkes it better to stay there still? |
A67743 | Or what is this but want of discretion? |
A67743 | Q WHat Uses may this serve for, which hath been spoken touching the properties of this enmity, and our Saviours suffering? |
A67743 | Q WHat are the Causes, why wicked and ungodly men thus hate, and persecute the religious? |
A67743 | See this in Abrahams example, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do? |
A67743 | Shall Noah leave building the Arke, and so himselfe, and his whole houshould perish, because all the World else thinkes him haire- brained? |
A67743 | Shall the powder thinke to blow up the house, and scape it selfe from burning? |
A67743 | That have a Library of Divinity in their heads, and not so much as the least Catechisme in their consciences? |
A67743 | The Apostle saith, If God be on our side, who can be against us? |
A67743 | The Corinthians exceedingly slighted Paul, he was this and he was that; But what saith Pa ● l? |
A67743 | True these enemies to holines spare not to cast asper ● ● ions on us, else how should they worke their wills? |
A67743 | WHat are their Verball properties? |
A67743 | WHat instruction from the premisses? |
A67743 | WHat is promised shall be the issue, or effect of it; and who shall get the victory? |
A67743 | WHat is the original ground of the worlds hatred? |
A67743 | WHat is the second Cause, why ungodly men hate and persecute the religious? |
A67743 | WHat is the third cause, why ungodly men hate and persecute the Religious? |
A67743 | WHat is their manner of venting this Enmity? |
A67743 | WHerein consists their unlikenesse and contrariety? |
A67743 | We are bound to praise GOD above any Nation whatsoever,( for what Nation under Heaven in ● oyes so much light, or so many blessings as we?) |
A67743 | What Devill will so affirme? |
A67743 | What God can deliver out of my hand? |
A67743 | What a prodigy is this? |
A67743 | What can hee not perswade them to? |
A67743 | What doth he that curseth the Saints and deare children of God? |
A67743 | What honour of Christ is there among us, wher Religion makes one contemptible? |
A67743 | What instruction affords this? |
A67743 | What is it to him if the superstition, and blindnesse of Popery did over- shadow the Land? |
A67743 | What is meant by the woman and her seed? |
A67743 | What may bee gathered from these tearmes thus explicated? |
A67743 | What occasioned the Lord to proclaime this enmity? |
A67743 | What saith one? |
A67743 | What saith the Scripture? |
A67743 | What say they? |
A67743 | What should I say? |
A67743 | What was it but Iosephs goodnesse, that brought him to the stockes and Irons? |
A67743 | What was the finall cause or end why God proclaimed it? |
A67743 | What was their delinquencie? |
A67743 | What way wee gleane from hence? |
A67743 | What will you be singular? |
A67743 | Wherefore slew Caine his brother, saith Saint Iohn, but because his own Workes were evill, and his brothers good? |
A67743 | Who could have lesse deserved those curses, those aspersions, those stones, then David? |
A67743 | Who helped to burne Bradford? |
A67743 | Who is God? |
A67743 | Who made Serena the Empresse, a Martyr for her faith in Christ? |
A67743 | Who scoffed at righteous Noah, but his owne son Cham? |
A67743 | Who was the Author and proclamor of it? |
A67743 | Why did Esau hate Iacob, and purpose to kill him, but because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him? |
A67743 | Why not unto death? |
A67743 | Why was Ioseph accused of his Mistris for an adulterer, and thereupon committed to prison, but because hee would not bee an Adulterer like her? |
A67743 | Yea, and thinke they doe as good service in it, as Secretaries, and Espialls of Princes, do to the State, when they bring in bills of intelligence? |
A67743 | Yea, have you not strange conceits, and base thoughts of the best men? |
A67743 | Yea, if the feare of the Lord, as Solomon speakes, is the beginning of wisdome, how should they have wisdome, that have not the feare of the Lord? |
A67743 | Yea, who was his greatest enemy but his greatest friend, even one of his houshold- Chaplains? |
A67743 | Yes: for how is a vicious person discredited, and made contemptible, by the vertuous life of an holy man? |
A67743 | Yet the world traduced him for a Samaritan, a Blasphemer, a Sorcerer, a wine- bibber, an enemy to Caesar, and what not? |
A67743 | and also bring forth the fruits of it in your lif and conversation? |
A67743 | and for sins of omissions,& c? |
A67743 | and made them resolve against goodness? |
A67743 | and religion foolishnesse with Michal? |
A67743 | and see that all under you doe the same? |
A67743 | and staggered others, that have made some progresse in holinesse? |
A67743 | and thinke the worse of a man, for having of a tender conscience? |
A67743 | and what instructions afford they? |
A67743 | and with the understanding also? |
A67743 | but because he followed the things which were good and pleasing unto God and in him part his trust? |
A67743 | but because he should bee more exalted? |
A67743 | doe you declare your faith by your workes? |
A67743 | doe you feare an oath? |
A67743 | doe you not deeply censure,& condemne the generation of the just? |
A67743 | doe you not envy, hate, scoffe at, nick- name, raile on and slander the people of God; and mis- consture their actions and intentions? |
A67743 | doe you not with Festus, account zeale madnesse? |
A67743 | doe you pray by the power of the spirit? |
A67743 | doe you receive the word with good and honest hearts? |
A67743 | doe you sanctifie his Sabbaths? |
A67743 | for the evill which cleaves to your very best actions? |
A67743 | grieve for your unprofitablenesse under the meanes of grace? |
A67743 | hate a lye,& c? |
A67743 | instruct your children and servants, and teach them to feare the Lord? |
A67743 | killed, but for the Word of God, and for the testimony which they maintained? |
A67743 | love his children, promote his glory, and strive to gaine others to imbrace the Gospell? |
A67743 | love zeale, and devotion in others? |
A67743 | make conscience of evill thoughts? |
A67743 | or do you not? |
A67743 | reade, conferre and meditate upon it? |
A67743 | saith God, why? |
A67743 | the which scriptures, if they bee true? |
A67743 | they think themselves the worst of sinners? |
A67743 | though hee thrust himselfe into their company? |
A67743 | vaine, and unprofitable words? |
A67743 | watch for their halting, and combine with others against them? |
A67743 | what stuffe so pittifull, but hee can set a glosse upon it? |
A67743 | who is not an open or secret enemy to holinesse? |
A67743 | yea, have you not beaten off many from being religious by your scoffes and reproaches? |
A67257 | 11, 13)? |
A67257 | 11? |
A67257 | 14? |
A67257 | 2. if acknowledging them infallible? |
A67257 | 20. doth it not either argue all parents infallible in what they teach or command? |
A67257 | 24? |
A67257 | 3. l. 6. c. Quis dubitat veritati manifestatae debere consuetudinem cedere? |
A67257 | 7? |
A67257 | Again, I ask; Are all the necessary consequences of fundamentals to be accounted fundamental? |
A67257 | Again, whether no obligation of Scholars to their Masters, and those experienced in the Science they learn? |
A67257 | Again, why are such Councils willingly granted by all to be unappealable in other things wherein they may err, i. e. in maters of fact? |
A67257 | Again, you will say, Do not we thus take away all use of our own judgment, in things wherein our Superiors lay their injunctions upon us? |
A67257 | Again; could not his Spirit( that hath led some) have led all, into all truth, if he had pleased to give it to them, in a greater measure? |
A67257 | An discipulus supra magistrum? |
A67257 | And 2ly, Whether one is, or can be, bound to assent, when these their Decrees are contrary to his own private judgment? |
A67257 | And again, what difference between that and the law of God? |
A67257 | And if she may impose some penalty; then why not anathematize, or excommunicate? |
A67257 | And indeed were such conformity in the publick Service, and the Sacraments, allowed with Sectaries, what a confusion would it cause in religion? |
A67257 | And is he sure that no other text is again totidem verbis contradictory to that he urgeth? |
A67257 | And is not Stapleton, quoted before, of the same opinion with these? |
A67257 | And then I ask; Why not some other? |
A67257 | And then, for some points of her publick doctrines or practice, what if it be against the conscience of such a one to subscribe or conform to them? |
A67257 | And why in these fundamentals especially are we wished in our judgment to conform to the Church''es? |
A67257 | And, if you are to consent, tho it be against your own judgment, in the greatest matters; what reason is there you should not do it in lesser? |
A67257 | Are not Anathema''s used by her against Schismatical as well as Heretical spirits? |
A67257 | Are not all the rest then, who are not infallibly certain, to be taught, that they must, in Non- fundamentals, subscribe to the Church- decisions? |
A67257 | Are these punishments lawfully inflicted, only in case that such Priest and Church be certain and infallible in their judgment? |
A67257 | Art thou a Master in Israel( saith our Saviour,) and knowest not these things? |
A67257 | But 1. did no other sentences pass in the Sanedrim about the law, but concerning satisfactions and punishments? |
A67257 | But 2ly, Suppose no want of any such thing in it; yet, what if all such communion be utterly, absolutely, forbidden? |
A67257 | But 2ly, by what way can any one in any thing be infallibly sure( not think only, or suppose that he is sure) that such a Council errs? |
A67257 | But I ask again; Who shall determin, both in credends& agends, which are fundamental? |
A67257 | But doth not an erring conscience then bind us to follow it, tho it be so? |
A67257 | But how often is this done by them, even the four first( generally allowed), and that under Anathema? |
A67257 | But how unreasonable this? |
A67257 | But if not their judgment whom we have named,( in case you can attain to no higher Tribunal); whose doth your duty oblige you to follow? |
A67257 | But suppose( say they) that the church present determin things against Scripture, and against the former Church? |
A67257 | But then hath he well compared Scriptures? |
A67257 | But thus also then is it not your duty to follow a fallible judgment, which may guide you right or wrong? |
A67257 | But what arguments from their Reasons can counterpoise this, from the authority of so many of much greater reason? |
A67257 | But whence can he certainly know, that it is Divine? |
A67257 | But why not Votum, for this, serve the turn for these, as it doth for some others? |
A67257 | But why so? |
A67257 | By divine Revelation? |
A67257 | By the Church? |
A67257 | By the Scriptures? |
A67257 | Considering these things, may not such a one say, Whether it is better to obey God than men, judge ye? |
A67257 | Do we mean several degrees thereof, the least of which is certain? |
A67257 | Doth not natural prudence guide him, in two, liable to error, to follow him, who, all circumstances considered, is likely to be the less fallible? |
A67257 | Doth she not use Anathema''s or Excommunications in matters of Fact, wherein she is confest to be liable to error? |
A67257 | Els how come any to doubt? |
A67257 | Els if only probabilities may serve to counterpoise the Church''es or Council''s authority, when or where will these be wanting? |
A67257 | External therefore? |
A67257 | For I demand; Whether are you to judge, or she, which these are? |
A67257 | For if we withdraw this, how if it should happen that they are de fide? |
A67257 | For to what other Judgment can we repair for this, unless to our own? |
A67257 | For what more plain there, than that this world was created by the Word, the Son of God? |
A67257 | For, as the Apostle said in another case, If they are sit to judge the greatest, are they not so to judge the smallest matters? |
A67257 | From what law but God''s? |
A67257 | Hath he any other( then), besides those the Church hath, and which she first recommended unto him? |
A67257 | How come Schismaticks then thrown out of the Church? |
A67257 | How doth that saying of S. Austin touch such a one? |
A67257 | I ask therefore to which? |
A67257 | I ask what do we mean by a stronger and a weaker faith so often mentioned in Scripture? |
A67257 | I ask; Why may not then a Pastor contradict his Bishop, or the Diocesan Council? |
A67257 | I think none will deny this lawful enough; and what communion is there, which doth not require it? |
A67257 | If it be, then one place must not be understood as the letter soundeth; and then why not that which he presseth? |
A67257 | If so; then who knows how far these points may extend, in which we are to consent to, and not only not- to- contradict, the Church''es decisions? |
A67257 | If these be dictates of right reason, what difference between this and the law of Nature? |
A67257 | Ille autem irridebat eum, dicens; Ergo parietes faciunt Christianos? |
A67257 | In what you approve and like of? |
A67257 | Internal? |
A67257 | Is Scripture be plain in these smaller points, for you to guide your self by it; is it not so, much more, in fundamentals? |
A67257 | Is it only to those decisions, which she maketh according to the Scriptures, that if any assent not to them, he may be justly excommunicated by her? |
A67257 | Is it only to those decisions, which she maketh in points fundamental? |
A67257 | Is it only, I submit my judgment in regard of the publishing of it? |
A67257 | Is not Abraham said to believe a thing seeming contrary to his own reason? |
A67257 | Is not idolatry an error against a fundamental truth? |
A67257 | Is she to guide your judgment in the main, and not in less, matters? |
A67257 | Lastly, by Reason? |
A67257 | May not she excommunicate as well disturbers of her peace, as subverters of her faith? |
A67257 | My reply is; and may not you in others also err much more? |
A67257 | Nay to what purpose such Council convened, since it hath no power of excommunicating the resisters? |
A67257 | Non- contradiction sounds well in speculatives; but in practicals what must be done? |
A67257 | Or 2ly, Is it only to those decisions, which she maketh in points, of the truth whereof she is actually certain? |
A67257 | Or the weaker brethren, tho of the number of true Believers, why doubted they long time of some meats unclean, contrary to the Apostle''s instruction? |
A67257 | Or understands he them better? |
A67257 | Ought he not then to continue still in his former communion, tho thought by him Schismatical? |
A67257 | Parmeniani, 2. l. 13. c. Haec quidem alia quaestio est: Utrum Baptismus& ab iis, qui nunquam fuerunt Christiani, potest dari? |
A67257 | Quaeret hic forsitan aliquis curiosius, an liceat hujusmodi decreta interno saltem mentis actu in dubium revocare? |
A67257 | Quaestio certe inter nos versatur, ubi sit Ecclesia; utrum apud nos, an apud illos? |
A67257 | Quamvis peragatur in eo illa solemnitas, nunquid reconciliatur? |
A67257 | Quid si ergo sictus accedat, atque adversus veritatem& Ecclesiam ● or inimicissimum gerat? |
A67257 | Quomodo coelestis Spiritus invocatus adveniet, si sacerdos, qui eum adesse deprecatur, criminosis plen ● is actionibus reprobatur? |
A67257 | R. What truth mean we? |
A67257 | Si enim ex te quaeram, Cur credas, Deum esse incarnatum? |
A67257 | Since all saving faith in us is the effect of the Spirit, why may not our faith be so, without any precedent rational certainty thereof? |
A67257 | Tell me, hath not God obliged every one to follow his* own conscience right or wrong? |
A67257 | The Believers at Antioch, zealous of the law, why contested they with St. Paul? |
A67257 | The Bereans, why examined they the Apostles doctrines, if they knew or esteemed him infallible? |
A67257 | The First concerning FAITH, What, or how much is necessary for our Salvation? |
A67257 | The First concerning the Infallibilty of the Church, Whether this is at all, or how far, to be allowed? |
A67257 | The Fourth concerning Obedience, and submission of private Judgment, Whether this be due to the Church supposed not, in all her decisions, infallible? |
A67257 | The Second concerning Infallibity in this Faith; Whether it be necessary in every Believer to render his Faith Divine and Salvifical? |
A67257 | The Second concerning Obedience and Submission of private Judgment, Whether this be due to the Church supposed not, in all her decisions, infallible? |
A67257 | The Third concerning the Infallibility of the Church; Whether this is, at all, or how far, to be allowed? |
A67257 | Therefore, in things also which you do not approve? |
A67257 | They question, since there are many present divided Churches, to the judgment of which of them they shall repair? |
A67257 | Thou that judgest another, judgest thou not thy self? |
A67257 | Thus may not one truly say: For this reason I think such a thing is so; but for such a reason again, I think it is not so? |
A67257 | Ubi jubentur in Scripturis Infantes baptizari, aut in Coena Domini sub utraque specie communicantes participare? |
A67257 | Was Luther''s and Calvin''s modest? |
A67257 | Was she sure, that she could not possibly mistake in any of these things, which she hath said there? |
A67257 | Well then: since you may not judg against her, in the plain; may you, in other things less plain? |
A67257 | What can be a better argument for the Church, than her former customs, which thou accusest to mislead her present judgment? |
A67257 | What do I gain by this for obedience to them? |
A67257 | What is our duty then? |
A67257 | What is the meaning of that ordinary saying,[ These and these reasons I have for my opinion, but I submit to the Church?] |
A67257 | What mean those rules? |
A67257 | What probability, that they should most declame against the certainty of Church- tradition, whose doctrines it most confirmeth? |
A67257 | What then must be done( you will say) since our Pastors and Bishops may err in fundamentals, and particular Churches may apostatize? |
A67257 | What then? |
A67257 | When this is done; how few are there of the learned, that can say; they are certain( without some doubt) that what the Church proposeth is false? |
A67257 | Who are liker to be clear of passion, those that submit to anothers judgment, or those that adhere to their own? |
A67257 | Who have bin so much, so dangerously, deceived, as these wise and wary men, who would trust none but the infallible? |
A67257 | Who is to determin, what are such, both for agends and credends? |
A67257 | Why labour we then, more, to free, then subjugate, mens judgments? |
A67257 | Why may not I( say I again) as well suppose you, who think thus of the present Church, to mistake Scripture, and the former Church your selves? |
A67257 | Why should the children of this world be wiser than the children of light? |
A67257 | Why so? |
A67257 | Why so? |
A67257 | Will you restrain such Scripture- rules of obedience only to General Councils? |
A67257 | Yet why not necessary to every person therein, as having reference, one way or other, to their particular good? |
A67257 | [ What then, what if it be only Anathema iis, qui contrarium dicunt aut docent?] |
A67257 | and Whether one may go against his conscience in any thing? |
A67257 | and doth not the Roman Church then err in fundamentals, in worshipping bread, as the Protestants think they do, for Christ? |
A67257 | and how full of several impieties? |
A67257 | and then before all the people have ascended into Heaven to God? |
A67257 | and why may I not say again to you; suppose that she err in fundamentals, where are you, that in these do follow her judgment? |
A67257 | as if he denied there to be on earth a Catholick and Apostolick Church, to which he may securely joyn himself? |
A67257 | but if necessary; why should we say, that God requires not an unity of faith in them? |
A67257 | especially when these contrary to the proposals of the Church''es supremest Council? |
A67257 | nonne unicuique in sua arte credendum? |
A67257 | nunquid inseritur? |
A67257 | or at least to be content to live out of her communion, whom he thinks to be the Church Catholick? |
A67257 | or how many? |
A67257 | or is He further from fallibility if he guide himself? |
A67257 | or may I sometime do a thing which I think unlawful, upon another''s judgment, without sinning? |
A67257 | or rather, to perform the divine command of yeilding obedience to our Governors? |
A67257 | or require submission of their judgment also to her, not as she declares her judgment infallible; but only as it is definitive and unappealable? |
A67257 | or spread the Gospel, at first, over all the world? |
A67257 | or that such Priest and Church do not seem to any to mis- interpret the divine law? |
A67257 | was there no fault in baptism so deferred? |
A67257 | why therefore relinquish you your own, and adhere to her, judgment, in these things most plain in Scripture? |
A67257 | your own? |
A41843 | ( O me slighter of the everlasting Salvation) whither am I now going? |
A41843 | 10. for hee hath cloathed thee with the garments of Salvation, and hee hath covered thee with the robe of righteousnesse: O what robes are these? |
A41843 | 14. where Iob reckoning over many good deeds done by himself, saith, What then shall I do when God riseth up? |
A41843 | 21 Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed to the end of the world, to those that are far off; What hath hee proclaimed? |
A41843 | 37. stop the mouth of misbelief so that it should have nothing to say? |
A41843 | Ah, Turn you ▪ turn you, why will ye die? |
A41843 | Ah, ah, shall we say that? |
A41843 | And I pose your own hearts with this, whether or not your names ● ee written there in that ● oll, among these sho shall be cut off? |
A41843 | And I say to you, who have thus delayed, will ye yet imbrace it? |
A41843 | And I would ask you that question, What a day shall it be when Faith shall ced ● to sight? |
A41843 | And I would ask you this question, what are your thoughts concern ● ng precious Christ, seeing he is that noble ● bject of Faith? |
A41843 | And O how dreadfull is it for an unprepared man to meet with death? |
A41843 | And O how suddenly will death surprise many of you as it did him? |
A41843 | And O may wee not wonder at the precious oath of the everlasting Covenant, whereby he hath sworn, That hee delighteth not in the death of sinners? |
A41843 | And O think ye not that our day is near unto a close? |
A41843 | And as to hope; will not assurance make a Christian 〈 ◊ 〉 forth, Now, Lord, what wait I for? |
A41843 | And doe we not ambitiously desire to walk toward Sion, sleeping( rather then weeping) as we go? |
A41843 | And doth open a door in Heaven, thorow which a Christian is admitted to see Christ sitting upon His Throne? |
A41843 | And if we would ask that question, What is the way to attain to the saving knowledge of God in Christ? |
A41843 | And is it not a mysterious command, to desire people to know that which can not be known? |
A41843 | And is it not a strange thing, that Christians are lesse convinced of the breaches of the Commandements of Faith, then of other commands? |
A41843 | And is it not certain, that these two gracious gifts ought to ingage ou ● souls and hearts much unto him? |
A41843 | And is it not the world the great plea and argoment, that they make use of, When they will not come and make use of Christ? |
A41843 | And is not this a great effect, to make us who were darknesse, become light in the Lord? |
A41843 | And is there not a great difference betwixt an Idol when it is cast out, and an Idol when it goeth out? |
A41843 | And that is an effect of this Great Salvation? |
A41843 | And that is ● ● effect of this Great Salvation? |
A41843 | And these two wounds, that he received in his precious feet, do they not preach this, That we should believe on a crucified Saviour? |
A41843 | And we conceive that the ground which maketh the most part of us have such complaints, How long wilt thou forget us for ever? |
A41843 | And what a Faith suppose yee shall it be thought when wee shall get on that immortal Crown of blessednesse? |
A41843 | And what can yee do who want Faith? |
A41843 | And what moveth Christians to be so desirous to die? |
A41843 | And what shall I answer when he visiteth me? |
A41843 | And why then do ye not take Him? |
A41843 | And would ye know what is your hearing of Sermon? |
A41843 | And yet for all this, shall we be sent away without one consent to imbrace or receive it? |

A41843 | But are there none here who are heavy loaden with sin, with misery, and estrangement from God? |
A41843 | But are there not many here who never knew what it was to mortifie one lust for Christ? |
A41843 | But as for you who have no resolutions to imbrace this Great- Salvation, O wherewith shall I commend it unto you? |
A41843 | But is it not an easie way of entring into the holy of Holies, to win unto it through the exercise of Faith? |
A41843 | But oh what a hellish word is that, Away with spotlesse Christ, away with transcenden ● Christ, and give us the world? |
A41843 | But this is answered from that letter of His Name, hee keepeth mercy for thousands? |
A41843 | But would ye be wise indeed, and wise unto eternal life? |

A26977 | And Reader, what Reason bound me to confine this Case, to one only sort of Justification? |
A26977 | And a Mans Sence is no way known but by his expressions: The question is then, Which is the necessary Phrase which we must express our sence by? |
A26977 | And against the Reformed? |
A26977 | And are all these one Terminus, or hence one name then? |
A26977 | And are not all these set together enough to prove, that we justly own all asserted by these Texts? |
A26977 | And are we not all agreed of all this? |
A26977 | And as Justification is taken for the Justifiers Action; why is it not as well to be denominated from the Terminus ad quem, as à quo? |
A26977 | And as to the Phrase, Doth this Doctor, or can any living Man find that Phrase in Scripture,[ Christ''s Righteousness is imputed to us]? |
A26977 | And can he have need of Sacrifice or Pardon, that is reputed never to have sinned( legally)? |

A26977 | And if we be as Righteous as Christ, are we not as amiable to God? |
A26977 | And is it any wonder if you have many such Mistakes in your disputes of Justification, when you are so heedless about a matter of Fact? |
A26977 | And is not all this beyond denial with Persons not studiously and learnedly misled? |
A26977 | And is not he a weak Man that can not talk thus upon almost any Subject? |

A26977 | And is this it in the Application that your Zeal will warn Men of, that we must in this take heed of joyning with the Papists? |

A26977 | And who is not Orthodox, himself being Judg? |
A26977 | And who knoweth what Law he meaneth, whose Maledictory Sentence Justification absolveth us from? |
A26977 | And who will thus dispute of the Definition and Causes of them, Efficient, Material, Formal, Final? |
A26977 | And why must your Pupils be taught so to conceive of so great a business, in it self so plain? |

A26977 | Are we any way Justified by our own performed Righteousness? |
A26977 | Are we reputed innocent in Christ, as to one part only of our lives,( if so, which is it?) |
A26977 | Are we reputed our selves to have fulfilled all that Law of Innocency in and by Christ, as representing our persons, as obeying by him? |
A26977 | Are you serious, or do you prevaricate? |
A26977 | Are you sure that all or most Words now, Latine or English, have the same, and only the same use or sense, as was put upon them at the first? |
A26977 | Are you sure that it was Publick usage, and Imposition from whence they first received their being? |
A26977 | Ball, and multitudes such are visible still among us? |
A26977 | But I deny your Consequence: How prove you that it is none when applyed therefore? |
A26977 | But Reader, Why may not I denominate Justification ex parte principii? |
A26977 | But alas, what is Man, and what may Temptation do? |
A26977 | But as to the question, Have we kept the Law of Innocency? |
A26977 | But can his Righteousness be Ours no way but by the foresaid Personation Representating? |
A26977 | But did I ever deny that it is[ by Faith alone and without Works]? |
A26977 | But doth he here then agree with himself? |
A26977 | But doth he know but one sort of Law of God? |
A26977 | But doubtless, many that seem killed by such Blows as some of yours, are still alive? |
A26977 | But here is no Second mentioned: Is it in the nature of the things[ Justification, and Inherent Holiness]? |
A26977 | But how is he so made? |
A26977 | But if we must needs denominate from the Terminus à quo, how strange is it that he should know but of one sense of Justification? |
A26977 | But is a Man absolved( properly) from that which he was never guilty of? |
A26977 | But may it not be, by Faith alone in one sense, and not by Faith alone in another sense? |
A26977 | But not to punish is one thing and to Reward is another? |
A26977 | But sure, none at Oxford are in danger of taking me for an Oracle? |
A26977 | But what if I had known( as I do not yet) what sort of Justification he meaneth? |
A26977 | But what if all Divines were so agreed? |
A26977 | But what if the word[ Justification] had been found only as he affirmed? |
A26977 | But what is this Forum? |
A26977 | But what is this pronunciation in mente Divina? |
A26977 | But what proof of the consequence doth he bring?] |
A26977 | But what''s all this to the Phrase? |
A26977 | But what''s this to your Case? |
A26977 | But where is it written? |

A26977 | Did you Confute, or once take Notice of any of these? |
A26977 | Did you never teach your Sholars this,( in what words you thought best?) |
A26977 | Do I not expresly say, It is the Phrase that is not to be found in Scripture, and the unsound sense, but not the sound? |
A26977 | Do I say here that Scripture mentioneth not Imputed Righteousness, or only that strict sense of it? |
A26977 | Do all ordinary Believers by the use of the Scripture, know how to define? |

A26977 | Do not Logicians make true defining one of the surest signs of clear and accurate knowledg? |
A26977 | Do not you here proclaim, that Papists and Protestants differ not about the necessity of Good- works to Justification? |
A26977 | Do the meanest Christians know how to define Justification, and all the Grace which they have? |
A26977 | Do they not hold that Justification is more than an Absolution from the Maledictory Sentence of the Law? |
A26977 | Do you difference them Quoad ordinem, as First and Second? |
A26977 | Do you grant it of them Disjunctively, and yet maintain the contrary of them Conjunct? |
A26977 | Do you mean that I began with you? |
A26977 | Do you mean the words or the sense of Justification( as you call it) by Works? |
A26977 | Do you mean[ Rank Good- Works with Inherent Holiness, and not with the First Sanctification, and you then do widely differ from the Papists]? |
A26977 | Do you not invite me thus herein to be a Papist, when they rank them no where but, as you say, the Protestants do? |
A26977 | Do you think( for I must go by thinking) that he holdeth any other Derivation than this? |
A26977 | Doth Mr. Lawson, in his Theopolitica agree with you, and such others? |
A26977 | Doth he think that the Law of Innocency, and of Moses, and the Law of Grace are all one, which Scripture so frequently distinguisheth? |
A26977 | Doth not Christ say, By thy words thou shalt be justified? |
A26977 | Doth not Mr. Cartwright here differ from those that hold the Imputation of the Active Righteousness? |
A26977 | Doth not the Holy Ghost say, That a Man is justified by Works, and not by Faith only? |
A26977 | Doth not the World know, that Heathens and Christians, Papists and Protestants, are Agreed on this general Rule? |
A26977 | Doth the Scripture sufficiently reveal such Definitions to all? |
A26977 | Doth this Law,[ He that believeth not shall be damned] damn Believers? |
A26977 | Faith alone, and not Faith alone? |
A26977 | Faith with and without Works? |

A26977 | O Juniors, Will not such deceiving Words save you from my Deceits? |
A26977 | O Sir, had you no other work to do, but to Vindicate the Church and Truth? |
A26977 | Of this also I fully said what I held, and he dissembleth it all, as if I had never done it: And why must I prove more? |

A26977 | Quid est, Propter Justificationem nostram? |
A26977 | Quomodo Justificatur Homo coram Deo? |
A26977 | Such Imputation of Righteousness, he saith, agreeth not with Reason or Scripture: But what Reason meaneth he? |
A26977 | That one, or those many? |
A26977 | The Papists minds sure, may be better known by their own Writings, than by mine: The Council of Trent, telleth it you: What need I recite it? |
A26977 | The Papists place Good- Works before Justification, that is, Inherent Holiness; and the Protestants more rightly place them before Inherent Holiness? |
A26977 | The Question is, only what or whose it is, Christ''s or our own? |
A26977 | The Scholar asketh, may I not refer the case to the standers- by, and wash my face if they say, It was no Fire? |
A26977 | There was a Disputant who would undertake to conquer any Adversary: When he was asked, How? |
A26977 | Therefore here the Question is, Whose judgment I shall take as most probable? |
A26977 | They agree not of the sense of the word[ Justifie,] and of the species of that Justification which Paul and James speak of? |
A26977 | This is true and well: But are we no where Justified by Faith but in Conscience, till after Death? |
A26977 | Was he mistaken in reciting the great differences about their Senses of Imputation of Christs Righteousness, if there were none at all? |
A26977 | Was not Abraham our Father justified, by Works? |
A26977 | Was not Bellarmin, or some of the Papists and the Socinians, as great Malefactors, with whom( as you phrase it) you put me in the Cub? |
A26977 | Was not Camero, Capellus, Placeus, Amyrald, Dallaeus ▪ Blondel,& c. Reformed? |
A26977 | Was not Christ as our Mediator perfectly holy habitually, and actually, without Original or Actual Sin? |

A26977 | What signifieth the[ First] then? |
A26977 | What would this do but more offend you? |
A26977 | What yet is the Matter? |
A26977 | What''s the reason you have not hitherto directed us to the particulars of your Recantation; what, when, where? |
A26977 | What? |
A26977 | When Mr. Danvers, and Multitudes on that side, Reproach me daily for Retractations, and you for want of them? |
A26977 | Where did I ever say, that I had Recanted? |
A26977 | Where, and when? |
A26977 | Whether Accidents may be properly defined? |
A26977 | Whether Definitio Physica( as Man is defined per Animam, Corpus& Vnionem) be a proper Definition? |
A26977 | Whether Definitio objectiva be properly called Definitio, or only Formalis? |
A26977 | Whether a true Logical and Physical definition should not be the same? |
A26977 | Which of these meaneth he? |

A26977 | Who knoweth what a Temptation they may make of such passages to draw any to Popery? |
A26977 | Who shall condemn? |
A26977 | Who would desire a sharper or a softer, a more dissenting or a more consenting Adversary? |
A26977 | Who would have thought but this was his drift? |
A26977 | Why did not Conscience at the naming of Calumnie say,[ I am now committing it?] |
A26977 | Why may not these two parts of one Man''s Cause be judged at the same Bar? |
A26977 | Why should you and I dispute thus about Matters of Fact? |
A26977 | Will none of your Readers see now, who cometh nearer them, you or I? |
A26977 | Will not this Man of Truth and Peace, give us leave to be thus far agreed, when we are so indeed? |
A26977 | Will you bear with the diversion of a story? |
A26977 | Wotton, and Mr. Balmford, and his other Adversaries, of the same Opinion in this? |
A26977 | Yea, or Adoption either? |
A26977 | Yes, if Gallus, Ambsdorfius, Schlusselburgius, and Dr. Crispe, and his Followers, be the Church? |
A26977 | You do not sure: But is it that I began with the Churches, and you were necessitated to defend them? |
A26977 | You will deal with it but as the application of that Rule to the Definition of Justification? |
A26977 | Your urgent questioning here[ Do you not mean your self?] |
A26977 | [ If it derive in a direct line from the first Transgression, and have its whole Root fastened there, what then? |
A26977 | [ In Legal Justification( saith he) taken precisely, either there is Remission of sin, or not: If not, What Justification is that? |
A26977 | and that I take it for an Injury, because I ▪ Retracted them? |
A26977 | and that the Scripture mentioneth no other? |
A26977 | and that we are made Righteous in foro otherwise than to be just in our selves, and so Justifiable in foro, before the Sentence? |
A26977 | in other Points, but only those of[ High and difficult speculation]: And do you deny it there? |
A26977 | or as to all? |
A26977 | or do Protestants take the Sentence to be Constituting or Making us Righteous? |
A26977 | or, How can he be clean that is born of a Woman? |
A26977 | saith, Quid vanius est quam Justum arbitrari, qui Legem non impleverit? |
A26977 | was it in the ancient Creeds and Baptism? |
A26977 | which you can never answer: But if my Doctrine put you upon this Necessity, what hindred you from perceiving it these twenty years and more, till now? |
A26977 | who devised it? |
A26977 | — Next he saith, Scripture is silent of the Imputed Righteousness of Christ; what a saying is this of a Reformed Divine? |

A41786 | seeing then all Infants( for ought you know) have the same right, which yet you d ● ny; but why so? |
A41786 | to be brought to partake of Ordinances Practical in the Church, save only from Abraham to the end of the Law? |
A41786 | whether was Saul broken off when he persecuted the Church causing many to blaspheme? |
A41786 | who doubts but that as many others as became Jews by being Proselited to the Law, were Circumcised according to the Law? |
A41786 | why do you take up the Papists weapons? |
A41786 | why then who is not a fit subject, seeing all Infants ● nd men too are of one Nation or another? |
A41786 | yet what makes this for any actual Participation of Ordinances in the Church, and what one Ordinance did the Infants of these Sons of God partake of? |
A41786 | you deny them the one, why may not we as well deny the other? |
A30582 | 31.33, 34 there God promises to put his law into our inward parts: But what''s the ground of it? |
A30582 | 33. he speaks as if he had made a challenge to all the world, let them all come in, let me see Who can lay any thing to the charge of Gods Elect? |
A30582 | 5. what follows? |
A30582 | 5. when she was asked; What is thy beloved? |
A30582 | And now we have many things to say in the Application of these things, for the answer to that question, What shall we say to these things? |
A30582 | And shall my creatures seek after it for no other end, nor higher aims, but meerly to save their own skins? |
A30582 | And thus the pardons of God differ from all other pardons; a Prince pardons a Malefactor, or a Father a Child: but upon what terms? |
A30582 | And what is a better instruction than to tell man the way of the pardon and forgiveness of sin? |
A30582 | And yet David committed murder and adultery, and was not cast off; why? |
A30582 | Are thy ways such, that Gods dealings with thee are as if thou wer''t a servant, and a home- born slave? |
A30582 | As St. Paul says, the blessedness you spake of, Where is it? |
A30582 | BUt if it be asked, Who are they that have their sins pardoned? |
A30582 | Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits; Why? |
A30582 | But may not a pardoned man have these fears, or somewhat of the nature of them resting on his spirit after he is pardoned? |
A30582 | But what are the grounds of your hopes; why you think God will not proceed against you for your sins, but will pass them by, and forgive you? |
A30582 | But who are they that dishonour this great work of God? |
A30582 | But you will say, Who are they? |
A30582 | Can you look for that blessed hope with comfort, and expect the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ? |
A30582 | Can you say, my life is so, though I have many weaknesses, yet I hope something of the glory of God appears in me? |
A30582 | Collect your selves, and say, Why do I determine of my everlasting condition? |
A30582 | Conscience speak freely and fully: What is there in Heaven against me? |
A30582 | Consider and call to remembrance what the dayes of old were? |
A30582 | Could he not have forgiven him by his absolute Prerogative? |
A30582 | Did ever any Child of God make use of Scripture to reason for sin in such a wicked way, for to presume to sin, because God is willing to pardon? |
A30582 | Do you find sin now a burden to your souls? |
A30582 | Do you live and walk as one that hath the Kingdom of Christ within you? |
A30582 | Does not thy sin hinder Gods grace to thee; and shall trouble and affliction hinder thy glorifying God? |
A30582 | Does thy heart work thus? |
A30582 | Does your vain thoughts still abide with you as they were wo nt to do? |
A30582 | Dost thou not watch over my sin? |
A30582 | Further, Thou saist God is merciful, and thererefore thou hop''st for pardon: Why? |
A30582 | Further, Thou speakest of mercy; hast not thou abused and turn''d mercy into wantonness? |
A30582 | God is more delighted in the work of thy heart closing with free grace, than in all the legal works of humiliation; what says Christ? |
A30582 | God is speaking there to his own people: Is Israel a servant? |
A30582 | God speaks it with pity, Israel is my dear Son; How comes it to pass that he is as a home- born slave? |
A30582 | Hast not thou the Conscience, and the rather upon the knowledge of this, to keep Gods Commandements? |
A30582 | Hast thou not turn''d the grace of God into wantonness, and abused it, when thou heardest that God was merciful? |
A30582 | Hast thou took liberty to sin? |
A30582 | Hath God forgiven thee? |
A30582 | Hath God ingaged himself to you by his Word, to be your God? |
A30582 | Have I to deal with God in the Covenant of grace, and can not these imperfections stand with it? |
A30582 | Have you heard the voyce of gladness speaking in your hearts, saying, Son, or Daughter be of good chear, go in peace, thy sins are pardoned? |
A30582 | Have you look''t on Christ as a mighty Mediator, as one able to save you? |
A30582 | Have you not heard this? |
A30582 | Have your hearts been taken with the great mysteries of godliness, and wrought upon by the infinite grace of God? |
A30582 | Having spoken of these general things, I come now more garticularly to the other part of the Question, What is to be done? |
A30582 | He is near that justifies me, who will contend with me? |
A30582 | How comes it to pass that your hearts are so taken off from the esteem you then had of it? |
A30582 | How does matters stand betwixt God and thee? |
A30582 | How few of you now this morning that are come into the presence of God, have had your thoughts working thus? |
A30582 | How in former times it was with you, when you were seeking the pardoning grace of God? |
A30582 | How is it between God and me? |
A30582 | How readily will they say, with the Prophet, How beautiful are the feet of those that bring( such) good tidings? |
A30582 | How sweet and acceptable will this be to such fou ● s, that by the former argument have been made apprehensive of the dreadful evil of it? |
A30582 | How would the damned spirits sing and rejoyce, and look about them to attend this message? |
A30582 | I may allude unto it, and it is an argument of great force, Is the iniquity of Peor too little, from which we are not cleansed to this day? |
A30582 | I verily fear that many of you that hear me this day, if we could but hear Conscience speak, would answer, What? |
A30582 | I will not again curse the Ground any more for mans sake; why? |
A30582 | I, but the Scripture says, God imputes faith for righteousness; and when God inables us to believe, Is it not our own? |
A30582 | If all outward good be not a mercy unless sin be pardoned, then what good wilt thou or any one get by the increase of sin? |
A30582 | If it have been thus with your spirits? |
A30582 | If these things be so, if God thus gloriously appear, in the riches of his grace for the pardon of sin; What shall we then say to these things? |
A30582 | If this be to dishonour the pardoning grace of God; what would you have us to do? |
A30582 | Is Christ as King and Soveraign over your thoughts, words and actions? |
A30582 | Is he a home- born slave? |
A30582 | Is he a home- born slave? |
A30582 | Is it not the greatest affliction? |
A30582 | Is there any thing upon Record that I am charg''d withal? |
A30582 | Is this the frame of thy heart, to be careful above all things in the world, that thou mightest not dishonour this precious grace? |
A30582 | It may be some of you go thus far, not to content your selves with a dead hearted sluggish Prayer: But what do you look to all the day after? |
A30582 | It''s this, that we are justified by Faith and so come to have peace with God; How does this cause the heart to be inlarged? |
A30582 | Lord wilt thou come in thus to thy people in such an abundant way of mercy more than formerly, and let in these graces of thy Covenant; Why? |
A30582 | May it not be said of you, Where is the sence of the Evil of Sin you spake of? |
A30582 | May not they say, that though they do sin, yet there is a Pardon laid in before hand for them? |
A30582 | Ministers of the Word are Ministers of Reconciliation that God hath given to his People: what is that? |
A30582 | No more now, what sin will have me to do? |
A30582 | No, now I see the ways of Life and Salvation are the only blessed ways; Now Lord, What would''st thou have me to do? |
A30582 | Now this you are to examine your hearts upon; What of the Kingdom of Christ you have within you? |
A30582 | Now what shall we say to those things? |
A30582 | O my soul how is it with thee? |
A30582 | Of righteousness: What is that? |
A30582 | PArdon of Sin makes a m ● ● blessed; Why? |
A30582 | Quest Well, but what would you have us to do? |
A30582 | Secondly, Others say, I am not only sorry for my sins, but I reform; and is not this a ground of pardon? |
A30582 | Shall Christ say, notwithstanding all my sorrows, let thy sin be pardoned, and I have enough? |
A30582 | Shall I go on then to add sin unto sin to make the work greater? |
A30582 | Shall I satisfie any base lust, with the neglect of him? |
A30582 | Shall I venture upon it? |
A30582 | Shall he say, there would be better Auditors in Hell than are here? |
A30582 | Shall not I be content to leave any thing to serve him? |
A30582 | Should we again break thy Commandements? |
A30582 | Sin shall not have dominion over you; why? |
A30582 | Suppose there were no evil of guilt or punishment, yet an ingenious gracious spirit would never do it; What shall I sin, because God will pardon? |
A30582 | The Sacraments, for what purpose hath Christ ordained them? |
A30582 | This should be a mighty ingagement upon thy spirit; Has God made thee equal to them in Justification? |
A30582 | Thou that takest liberty on this ground to blaspheme the Name of God; What thinkest thou will become of thee another day? |
A30582 | To wind up all, those that know what pardon of sin is; how do they spend their time, and lay out themselves to get assurance? |
A30582 | Turn from all sin and keep all Gods Statutes then, or, How can you do that is lawful and right then? |
A30582 | Well, now you would have mercy, Why now, and not before? |
A30582 | What Evils have you reformed in your families, and in your own hearts? |
A30582 | What acclamations would there be in Hell in the mid''st of those fiery flames? |
A30582 | What do you mean by that, how shall we know whether we be called or no? |
A30582 | What glory of God is come into your hearts, and appears in your lives and conversations? |
A30582 | What guilt is it thou hast upon thy Spirit? |
A30582 | What hast thou to do in the way of Egypt? |
A30582 | What hath Divine Justice to charge thee withal? |
A30582 | What holding up of hands and rejoycing would there be to hear of such a thing, that there is a possibility on any terms? |
A30582 | What if he will pardon the most notorious gross sins in others, and damn thee for thy sins in thoughts? |
A30582 | What is become of all that strength and power the Doctrine of Remission of Sin had upon your hearts? |
A30582 | What is become of it? |
A30582 | What is the end for which Christ hath set up this great Ordinance? |
A30582 | What is the end of thy way like to be? |
A30582 | What is the glory of a justified soul? |
A30582 | What is the matter? |
A30582 | What is the travel of Christs soul? |
A30582 | What say''st thou against me that I may get it blotted out now, that it may not be read against me at the day of Judgment? |
A30582 | What shall I magnifie the riches of my grace so wonderfully in this work of my pardoning mercy? |
A30582 | What shall we say then, Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? |
A30582 | What''s the meaning of this blessedness? |
A30582 | What, have you not a mightier Argument to draw your hearts to God, after he hath spoke peace, than ever you had before? |
A30582 | What, is Gods grace so free? |
A30582 | What, is he a servant, and brought into such a condition as a servant or a slave? |
A30582 | What, is the iniquity of your youth too little that you committed, and mispent your time when you were Prentice, or lived in such and such a family? |
A30582 | What? |
A30582 | When he gives quietness, who can give trouble? |
A30582 | Where is it? |
A30582 | Where is that bitterness upon your hearts, on the convictions you had of the evil of sin? |
A30582 | Where is that filial ingenious spirit of thine, that God is fain to deal with thee as now he doth? |
A30582 | Where is then the blessedness you spake of? |
A30582 | Wherefore then served the Law? |
A30582 | Whither art thou a going? |
A30582 | Who is a God like to thee; who in all the world can pardon sin as God doth? |
A30582 | Who is a God like unto thee that pardoneth iniquity and passeth by the transgressions of the remnant of his heritage? |
A30582 | Why do I make such conclusions that my state is naught, because of the stirrings of such and such corruptions? |
A30582 | Why? |
A30582 | Why? |
A30582 | Why? |
A30582 | Why? |
A30582 | Will not this be presumption for a sinner thus to lay hold on Christ? |
A30582 | Wilt not thou now say; and let me have Christ and I have enough? |
A30582 | Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, my Father, thou art the guide of my youth? |
A30582 | Would you have us go on to believe and doubt no more? |
A30582 | You will say, How must we seek it? |
A30582 | all thou hast now is not a good, is not a mercy; and dost thou think to get good by the increase of sin? |
A30582 | an excellent place, The Word of God is quick and powerful; but what word is it? |
A30582 | and dost thou still go on to heap up more and more sin, as if the pardon of thy sin was nothing? |
A30582 | and shall I strike this Blasphemer says another? |
A30582 | and what is to be done? |
A30582 | and what this and that; and the other lust will have me to do? |
A30582 | and when he hides his face, who then can behold him? |
A30582 | as if he had said, Lord, how does thy glory appear in the Justification of a sinner, and pardoning his sin through Jesus Christ? |
A30582 | before you had other things, and you quieted your hearts with them; and why not now, were not they mercies? |
A30582 | certainly, the soul that is pardoned, can not but answer God so far as this; Will God justifie me notwithstanding my sin? |
A30582 | does my heart work so in it as that I can satisfie my own Conscience in the work I do? |
A30582 | for, I bear you record, if possible, you would have pluckt out your own eyes, and given them to me: Where is then the blessedness you spake of? |
A30582 | he answered, Lord thou knowest I love thee; Christ puts it to him again; Lovest thou me? |
A30582 | he does not grant it, but reject it with a horrible indignation, God forbid, What? |
A30582 | he gave him this answer, says he, I can not live, and what shall I now think of Uncleanness and Fornication? |
A30582 | he is in the way of Egypt; so it may be said to thee who walkest in the sensual drossiness of thy spirit; Hast thou not been in the way of Egypt? |
A30582 | he would not take his first answer, but puts it to him the second and third time, Lovest thou me? |
A30582 | how should''st thou labour to be like to them in Sanctification? |
A30582 | if it be so with thee? |
A30582 | let us stand together: Who is my Adversary? |
A30582 | or how many wayes may we be guilty in sinning against this great mercy of God in forgiveness of sin? |
A30582 | or, Whether we can joyn with that Church wherein there is no power to keep them out, and after they are crept in to cast them out? |
A30582 | perhaps the mercy thou speakst of, now is at this very present pleading to God against thee; saying, how have I been abused by this wretched man? |
A30582 | says Paul, Where is the blessedness you spake of? |
A30582 | says you, first we give our word one to another, says God you shall have that, I give you my Word; What have you else? |
A30582 | shall Christ be so sensible of the waight and burden of sin, when he was to suffer, that he should seek the Father with such Prayers? |
A30582 | so I may say to sinners going on in their sins; Is the iniquity of Peor too little, from which you are not cleansed to this day? |
A30582 | so after God has delivered us from condemnation, the guilt of sin, and the spirit of bondage; What? |
A30582 | that God should have such thoughts of such mercy and grace in the pardon of sin, as we have heard; What shall we say to it? |
A30582 | that I might have my sins forgiven, and have assurance of it; Why, says God, what way do you take to make things sure from one to another? |
A30582 | that we know not what to say, there is so much of thy glorious grace appears, that our mouths are stopped; What shall we say to these things? |
A30582 | the answer will be, What see I? |
A30582 | the more my beauty& excellency hath been displayed, the more wicked he hath grown; what if mercy be now pleading against thee? |
A30582 | the soul that hath true pardon of sin, hath fetch''t it from Heaven in a right way, in Gods own way; How is that? |
A30582 | the way to true happiness? |
A30582 | then you have acted faith in a Gospel way, and your sins are pardoned: Again, Are you pardoned? |
A30582 | this is the good will and pleasure of God; and David was called a man after Gods own heart; Why? |
A30582 | thou think''st it now a fit time to cry for mercy; why? |
A30582 | thou think''st it to be a good; Why? |
A30582 | to make use of the grace of God to further sin; Shall we stand to answer these men, in the horrible reasoning of their hearts? |
A30582 | to sin that grace may abound, God forbid: What? |
A30582 | we read of one came running after Christ, saying, What shall I do to be saved? |
A30582 | what God hath to charge them withal? |
A30582 | what if he will pardon the most notorious uncleanness and murder in another, and damn thee for a wanton thought? |
A30582 | what shall I do? |
A30582 | what shall wandring and discouraging thoughts bring you to look down all the day? |
A30582 | what shall we say to these things? |
A30582 | what would they do? |
A30582 | when God gives quietness, as he doth in forgiveness of sin, then who can make trouble? |
A30582 | when we tell them of their sins, they say, they hope to repent; What do they mean? |
A30582 | whether God hath any thing against them, yea or no? |
A30582 | why God should not declare against thee according to his Law? |
A30582 | with strong cryings and tears, What? |
A30582 | — In the days of his flesh, observe, Christ in the days of his flesh, did offer up Prayers and Supplications; How? |
A30582 | — Would''st not thou be angry with us, should we again sin, would''st thou not consume us? |
A30582 | — some there were that did abuse the grace of God to sin; How does the Apostle rise with indignation against that abominable wickedness? |
A26695 | & c. quando te videbo? |
A26695 | ( Why, thou knowest not but it may be the next night, yea the next moment) where wouldst thou be then? |
A26695 | 12. or the lifeless Carkass to feel and move? |
A26695 | 12. who better perswaded of his Case, than Paul, while yet he remained unconverted? |
A26695 | 13. and yet will you not hearken? |
A26695 | 13. how miserable would he think it, to be held to it to all eternity? |
A26695 | 13. or the Paradise of God be the better choice? |
A26695 | 14, 15. who thirst for your salvation? |
A26695 | 14. and dost thou not yet think with thy self, surely it was for some noble and raised end? |
A26695 | 14. see the margin, and given such a promise to him thereupon, and will not you p ● t in for a share, neither in the praise, nor the promise? |
A26695 | 17. and do you thus requite them, O foolish and unwise? |
A26695 | 18. and wilt thou not yet believe, O sinner, that he is in earnest? |
A26695 | 19. and profess they know God, but in works deny him? |
A26695 | 19. why then, what hinders but that thou shouldest be happy? |
A26695 | 21, and make thee to 〈 ◊ 〉 down in sorrows? |
A26695 | 21. and will it not be dearly bought? |
A26695 | 23. dost thou yet think it but a small thing? |
A26695 | 24. what shall be done with thee, when thou fallest into the hands of the living God? |
A26695 | 29. and what is thy business without Gods blessing? |
A26695 | 3, 4, 5, 6,& c. And art thou a fit match for such an antagonist? |
A26695 | 3, 7. shall we think God will? |
A26695 | 3. and yet do you wonder, why your Ministers do so plainly travel in birth with you? |
A26695 | 3. how powerfully hath sin bewitched them? |
A26695 | 3. what is the wrath of the infinite God? |
A26695 | 4. as though the strength of Israel would lie? |
A26695 | 4. or for the Potsherd of the earth to strive with his Maker? |
A26695 | 46. and will you not own it with your practice? |
A26695 | 6, 7. and yet will you not come? |
A26695 | 7, 8. where were the glory of divine Justice, since it should be given to the wicked according to the work of the righteous? |
A26695 | 7. and what can be said more? |
A26695 | 7. shall not such much more expect it from Christs holiness? |
A26695 | 8. and hope that the favour of Christ''s ointments, and the smell of his garments will attract him? |
A26695 | 8. as if thou wert but going to wash thee, or swim for thy recreation? |
A26695 | 9. or to harden your selves against his word? |
A26695 | AND now, my brethren, let me know your minds, What do you intend to do? |
A26695 | Against whom you have exalted your voice, and lifted your eyes on high? |
A26695 | Alas my Glory/ Whither art thou humbled? |
A26695 | Alas shall I leave them thus? |
A26695 | Alas, if the poor man think a Sermon long, and say of a Sabbath, What a weariness is it? |
A26695 | Alas, what shall I say? |
A26695 | Alas, what will thy sins do for thee, that thou shouldst stick at parting with them? |
A26695 | Am I a mourner for the sins of the Land? |
A26695 | And art not thou fairly offered? |
A26695 | And canst thou get in without his leave, as thou must, if ever thou comest thither in thy natural condition, without a sound and thorough renovation? |
A26695 | And doth not thy soul tremble as thou readest? |
A26695 | And have I toiled all this while and caught nothing? |
A26695 | And have they sped so well? |
A26695 | And how shall I tell men, that which I do not know? |
A26695 | And is it true indeed? |
A26695 | And is this true indeed? |
A26695 | And is this, that we have described, the Conversion that is of absolute necessity to salvation? |
A26695 | And shew kindness to them that are kind to them? |
A26695 | And the drunkard still at his vomit? |
A26695 | And there came one, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? |
A26695 | And they said we will call the damsel, and inquire at her mouth: And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? |
A26695 | And thou dost not know, but the next night, thou mayst make thy Bed in Hell? |
A26695 | And were it not better thou shouldst be a joy to Angels, than a laughing stock and sport for Devils? |
A26695 | And what is it that the Creation groaneth for? |
A26695 | And what misery have my sins brought upon me? |
A26695 | And whither else shouldst thou go? |
A26695 | And why may not men be twice born in nature, as well as in grace? |
A26695 | And wil ● thou yet believe thine own presumptuous confidence, directly against Christs words? |
A26695 | And will God receive these for true converts, because turned to the Christian Religion? |
A26695 | And wilt thou run upon destruction, when God himself doth forewa ● ● thee? |
A26695 | And wilt thou yet be in love with thy self, and tell us any longer of thy good heart? |
A26695 | And yet wilt thou not give up such a blasphemous hope? |
A26695 | Any mercy after such provoking iniquity? |
A26695 | Application, Arise then, what meanest thou O sleeper? |
A26695 | Are there not many that name the name of the Lord Jesus, that yet depart not from iniquity? |
A26695 | Are these out of the reach of humane power? |
A26695 | Are you agreed that Christ shall end the controversie? |
A26695 | Are you at peace? |
A26695 | Art thou a man, and hast thou reason? |
A26695 | Art thou a reasonable soul, and yet so far brutified, as to forget thy self immortal, and to think thy self to be as the beasts that perish? |
A26695 | Art thou chief of all the Children of pride, even that thou shouldst count his darts as stubble; and laugh at the shaking of his spear? |
A26695 | Art thou deliberately, understandingly, freely, fixedly, determined to ● ● eave to him in all times, and conditions? |
A26695 | Art thou in league with Hell? |
A26695 | Art thou in love with thy misery? |
A26695 | Art thou in none of the forementioned Ranks? |
A26695 | Art thou like the horse that paweth in the valley, and rejo ● ceth in his strength, who 〈 ◊ 〉 out to meet the armed men? |
A26695 | Art thou made without fear, and contemnest his barbed Irons? |
A26695 | Art thou now become a slave to sense, a servant to so base an Idol, as thy Belly? |
A26695 | Art thou struck almost dead with the hellish damp? |
A26695 | Art thou such a Leviathan, as that the scales of thy pride should keep thee from thy Makers coming at thee? |
A26695 | Art thou turned into flesh? |
A26695 | Art thou willing to come in? |
A26695 | Art thou yet in ignorance, and not turned from darkness to light? |
A26695 | Ask your self, what sin have I committed? |
A26695 | Before the news of a Christ was a stale and sapless thing; but now how sweet is a Christ? |
A26695 | Before this change all the cry was, Who will shew us any( worldly) good? |
A26695 | Behold God''s workmanship in thy body, and ask thy self, to what end did God rear this fabrick? |
A26695 | Behold he taketh away, who can hinder him? |
A26695 | Believest thou this? |
A26695 | Beware they be not found among the families that call not upon Gods name, for why should there be wrath from the Lord upon your families? |
A26695 | But doth not thy heart condemn thee, and tell thee, there is such a sin thou livest in against thy Conscience? |
A26695 | But how close doth this sin lurk oft- times under a fair covert of forward profession? |
A26695 | But how long may I call, and can get no answer? |
A26695 | But if it be the very word of God, that all this miser ● lies upon thee, what a case art thou in? |
A26695 | But if these be short of Conversion, what shall I say of the profane sinner? |
A26695 | But thy Conversion is necessary, thy damnation lies upon it, and is it not needful in so important a case to look about thee? |
A26695 | But what is it that the Creation groaneth under? |
A26695 | But whence shall I fetch my arguments, or how shall I choose my words? |
A26695 | But would you not have me solicitous for you, when I see you ready to perish? |
A26695 | By this time methinks I hear my Reader crying out with the Disciples, Who then shall be saved? |
A26695 | Can Kings, or Warriors? |
A26695 | Can Mammon? |
A26695 | Can any other but Christ save thee? |
A26695 | Can the lifeless carcass shake off its grave cloths, and loose the bonds of death? |
A26695 | Can the world in good earnest do that for you, that Christ can? |
A26695 | Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong in the day that I shall deal with thee, saith the Lord of Hosts? |
A26695 | Can you evidence that you have something more than any Hypocrite in the world ever had? |

A26695 | Canst thou be content to burn? |
A26695 | Canst thou charm thy Beast with Musick? |
A26695 | Canst thou do well without his favour? |
A26695 | Canst thou dwell with everlasting burnings? |
A26695 | Canst thou escape his hands, or endure his vengeance? |
A26695 | Canst thou hope he will be forsworn for thee? |
A26695 | Canst thou think without loathing of thy trough and draugh? |
A26695 | Cast away from you all your transgressions, and make you a clean heart, and a new spirit, for why will ye die, O house of Israel? |
A26695 | Conscience, wilt thou altogether hold thy peace at such a time as this? |
A26695 | Consider how the Lord hath revealed himself to you in his word: will you take him as such a God? |
A26695 | Consider the noble faculties or my Heaven- born soul: to what end did God bestow these excellencies? |
A26695 | Couldst thou cherish it, and take delight in it? |
A26695 | Couldst thou take up a Toad into thy bosom? |
A26695 | Cut it down, why cumbreth it the ground? |
A26695 | Darest thou make light of this? |
A26695 | Dearly beloved, would you rejoyce the heart of your Minister? |
A26695 | Deeper than hell, what can we know? |
A26695 | Did not God find me on my Bed, when he looked for me on my knees? |
A26695 | Did not I arise from the Table without dropping any thing of God there? |
A26695 | Did not I mock God, when I pretended to crave a blessing, and return thanks? |
A26695 | Did not I ra ● hly make, nor falsly break some promise? |
A26695 | Did not I sit down with no higher end than a beast, meerly to please my Appetite? |
A26695 | Did not he make thee for himself? |
A26695 | Do I live in nothing that I know or fear to be a sin? |
A26695 | Do I speak to the trees or rocks, or to men? |
A26695 | Do not even the Publicans love those that love them? |
A26695 | Do not thine own Cloaths abhor thee? |
A26695 | Do not thy tears bedew the paper, and thy heart throb in thy bosom? |
A26695 | Do not you see how Satan gulls you, by t ● mpting you to delays? |
A26695 | Do you not think their condemnation will be doubly dreadful, that shall still go on in their sins, after all endeavours to recall them? |
A26695 | Do you say the condition is impossible, for I have not wherewith to buy? |
A26695 | Dost not thou find him a stranger to prayer, a neglecter of the word, a lover of this present world? |
A26695 | Dost not thou find his heart fermented with malice, or burning with lust, or going after his covetousness? |
A26695 | Dost not thou often catch him in a lie? |
A26695 | Dost thou believe their truth, or not? |
A26695 | Dost thou hear the creation groaning under thee, and hell groaning for thee, and yet think thy case good enough? |
A26695 | Dost thou live in stri ● ● or envy, or malice? |
A26695 | Dost thou live in the ordinary and wilful practice of any known sin? |
A26695 | Dost thou not take more real delight and content in the world, than in him? |
A26695 | Dost thou not yet begin to smite on thy breast, and bethink thy self what need thou hast of a change? |
A26695 | Dost thou not yet see a change to be needful? |
A26695 | Dost thou say to Christ, as he to us, Thy Father shall be my Father, and thy God my God? |
A26695 | Dost thou say, Yea but my mind is blinded, and my heart is hardened from his fear? |
A26695 | Dost thou say,''T is good to be here? |
A26695 | Doth Satan put in, doth the World court thee? |
A26695 | Doth he allow himself in any way of sin, or doth he not? |
A26695 | Doth he not keep the keys of Heaven? |
A26695 | Doth he set thee on the use of means, and dost thou think he will mock thee? |
A26695 | Doth he truly love, and please, and prize, and delight in God above all other things, or not? |
A26695 | Doth it not begin to bite? |
A26695 | Doth it not carry thee to thy family, and shew thee the charge of God, and the souls of thy children and servants, that be neglected there? |
A26695 | Doth it not tell thee, there is such and such a secret way of wickedness, that thou makest no bones of? |
A26695 | Doth it not twitch thee as thou goest? |
A26695 | Doth not Conscience carry thee to thy Closet, and tell thee how seldom prayer, and reading is performed there? |
A26695 | Doth not Conscience say, thou art the Man? |
A26695 | Doth not sin sit light? |
A26695 | Doth sin sue for thy heart? |
A26695 | Doth thy mouth water after the Onions and Flesh- pots of Egypt? |

A26695 | Hast thou experienced this? |
A26695 | Hast thou made a Covenant with Death? |
A26695 | Hast thou not felt some good motions in thy mind, wherein thou hast been warned of thy danger, and told what thy careless course would end in? |
A26695 | Hast thou not only lost all regard to God, but art without any love and pity to thy self? |
A26695 | Hast thou not selt thy heart warmed by the word, and been almost perswaded to leave off thy sins, and come in to God? |
A26695 | Hast thou not taken upon him the gains of unrighteousness? |
A26695 | Hast thou pondered these things in thine heart? |
A26695 | Hast thou searched the Book within, to see if these things be so? |
A26695 | Hast thou taken God for thy happiness? |
A26695 | Hath not God been out of mind: Heaven out of sight? |
A26695 | Hath the Law of the Lord been in my mouth as I sate in my house, went by the way, was lying down, and rising up? |
A26695 | Hath the man been ever taken off from his false bottom, from the false hopes, and false peace wherein once he trusted? |

A26695 | Have I repeated it over, and prayed it over? |
A26695 | Have I run in vain? |
A26695 | Have I spoken evil of no man? |
A26695 | Have I used so many arguments, and spent so much time to perswade you, and yet must sit down, at last in disappointment? |

A26695 | Have you read hitherto, and are not yet resolved upon a present abandoning all your sins, and closing with Jesus Christ? |
A26695 | He is willing of the dominion of Christ, as well as deliverance by Christ; he saith with Paul, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? |
A26695 | He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength; who hath hardned himself against him, and prospered? |
A26695 | He will not be thought a fautor of sin, nor stain the glory of his holiness, and whither could he come lower than he hath, unless he should do this? |
A26695 | He ● miser, quid sum? |
A26695 | Hear what the Lord saith; Fear ye not me, saith the Lord? |
A26695 | Hear, O ye drunkards, How long will you be drunken? |

A26695 | If this Doctrine be true, we will not say any more with the Disciples, Who then shall be saved? |
A26695 | If thou wilt part with thy sins, God will give thee his Christ; Is not this a fair exchange? |

A26695 | Is it a Scripture peace? |

A26695 | Must I leave the malicious still in his venom? |
A26695 | Must I leave the tipler still at the Ale- bench? |

A26695 | No, if I tarry here, I shall die; What then? |
A26695 | None except I turn, Why, but is there any remedy for such woful misery? |
A26695 | Now Beloved, what say you to this? |
A26695 | Now all the cry is, What shall I do to be saved? |

A26695 | Reader, is this the language of thy soul? |
A26695 | Reader, shall I prevail with thee for one? |
A26695 | Saith Bildad, Shall the earth be forsaken for thee? |
A26695 | Say not, I have no time, What, hast thou all thy time on purpose to serve God, and save thy soul? |
A26695 | Say not, they are careless, and will not learn: What have you your authority for, if not to use it for God, and the good of their souls? |
A26695 | Seest thou how the worm gnaweth, how the oven gloweth? |
A26695 | Shall Christ put out the eye of his Fathers Omnisciency, or shorten the arm of his eternal power for thee? |
A26695 | Shall I allure him with the joyful sound, and the lovely Song, and glad tidings of the Gospel? |
A26695 | Shall I give the blind to see? |
A26695 | Shall I go and lay my mouth to the grave, and look when the dead will obey me and come forth? |
A26695 | Shall I go on in my sinful ways? |
A26695 | Shall I invite the dead to arise and eat the banquet of their funerals? |

A09339 | And how should they which are iustified haue peace with God, if they were not sure to perseuer righteous before God to the end? |
A09339 | And howe often see wee by experience, that he which at one time tooke the foile in a combate, at another did win the price? |
A09339 | And howe shall Gods mercie bee infinite, when wee by our satisfactions must adde a supply to the satisfaction of Christ? |
A09339 | And howe shall a man perceiue this obedience? |
A09339 | And howe shall they heare without a preacher? |
A09339 | And if God should leaue his people in the gra ● e vnder death for euer, how could they be called the people of God? |
A09339 | And if he deceiue vs in that which is more easie to find, how shal we trust him in things that be harder? |
A09339 | And if no man might certainly know, whether he beleeued truly or not: why doth the Apostle say, Trie your selues whether you be in the Faith? |
A09339 | And in Malachie he saith, If I be your Lord where is my feare? |
A09339 | And of Dauid who made his moane after this manner: Is his mercy cleane gone for euer? |
A09339 | And our Sauiour Christ when the Iewes said vnto him, Say we not true, that thou art a Samaritane and hast a deuill? |
A09339 | And said, O Lord, be it farre from me that I should doe ● his: is not this the blood of the men, that went in ieopardie of their liues? |
A09339 | And that which our Sauiour Christ saide once to Peter, men should daiely speake to themselues: O thou of littl ● faith, why hast thou doubted? |
A09339 | And the Holy Ghost saith, that the seruants of God in the daies of Antiochus were racked and tormented, and would not bee deliuered: why so? |
A09339 | And the complaint of the Lord touching times past, agrees to our daies: O Ephraim, What shall I say to thee? |
A09339 | And the word of the Lord came to Elijah, saying, Seest thou how Ahab is humbled before me? |
A09339 | And their implicite faith which saueth the lay man, what reprobate can not haue it? |
A09339 | And therefore a most sharp reuenger of sinne? |
A09339 | And they saide vnto him, Knowest thou not, that Baalis the king of the Ammonites, had sent Ishmac ● the sonne of Nethaniah, to slay thee? |
A09339 | And they sung, as it were, a new song before the throne: and they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, Lord, holy and true? |
A09339 | And those which make any conscience of this dutie, how they are laden with nicknames and taunts, who knoweth not? |
A09339 | And to proceede: It is not here said, the resurrection of the soule, but of the bodie onely; what then( will some say) becommeth of the soule? |
A09339 | And to whome is it a witnesse? |
A09339 | And we must rather follow the example of Moses, who when Iosua desired him to forbid Eldad and Medad to prophecie, answered, Enuiest thou for my sake? |
A09339 | And what are the workes for the doing of which we must be fashioned anew in Christ Iesus? |
A09339 | And what can he merit, that is guiltie of the breach of the whole law? |
A09339 | And what if inward righteousnes be perfect in the ende of this life, shall we therefore make it the matter of our iustification? |
A09339 | And what is that loue else but predestination? |
A09339 | And what was this dust and ashes made of? |
A09339 | And when he was called to be a iudge to deuide the inheritance betweene two brethren, he refused to doe it, saying, Who made me a iudge betweene you? |
A09339 | And where are they that striue to enter in? |
A09339 | And why should we daily aske pardon for our sinnes, if nothing but incredulitie or vnbeleefe condemned vs? |
A09339 | And will he shew no more fauour? |
A09339 | And wilt not thou bewaile and lament thy sinnes, and thy wicked conuersation? |
A09339 | And( as we are blamed, and as some affirme that we say) why do we not euill, that good may come thereof? |
A09339 | And, How shall we call vpon him in whom we haue not beleeued? |
A09339 | Are not two sparrowes sold for a farthing, and not one of them falleth on the ground without your Father? |
A09339 | Are there diuers degrees and measures of true faith? |
A09339 | Are these notes vnfallible? |
A09339 | Are they not all ministring spirits, sent forth to minister for their sakes which shall be heires of saluation? |
A09339 | Art thou prone to euill? |
A09339 | As Paul saith, How can they beleeue in him, of whome they ha ● e not heard? |
A09339 | As if he should say, haue ye forgotten the second commandement, that God gaue vnto your fathers? |
A09339 | As they went they came to a water: then the Eunuch saide, See, here is water, what hindreth me to be baptized? |
A09339 | Augustine saith, I demand of thee, O sinner, doest thou beleeue Christ or no? |
A09339 | Augustine saith, The bodie of Christ is ascended into heauen: some may answer and say, How shall I hold him beeing absent? |
A09339 | Be it that I knowe him to be my aduocate, may I not be deceiued? |
A09339 | Before you goe any further, this word of life is inuisible, how then could it bee seene? |
A09339 | Behold say the Angel to the she ● pheards, we bring tidings of great ioy that shall be to all people: but wherein standes the ioy? |
A09339 | Beleeuest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? |
A09339 | But I pray you, what thinke you, wil not God condemne his owne elect children if they sinne? |
A09339 | But I pray you: what mooued Moses to be of this minde? |
A09339 | But against whome or with whome doth it giue testimonie? |
A09339 | But aske him further: Doest thou beleeue the pardon of thine owne sinnes? |
A09339 | But doe you desire with all your heart to feele it? |
A09339 | But his seruants came, and spake vnto him, and said, Father, if the Prophet had commanded thee a great thing ● wouldest thou not haue done it? |
A09339 | But how came this earthquake? |
A09339 | But how can any sinne be great, that may be done away with such easie and sleight meanes? |
A09339 | But how can he bee a Christian that feeles no grace nor goodnes in himselfe? |
A09339 | But how could they doe it? |
A09339 | But how depends this petition on the former? |
A09339 | But how if it come to passe that you be tempted to any great sinne, and the flesh ouercome the spirit, in what case are you then? |
A09339 | But how is that done? |
A09339 | But how long shall they continue in this vile estate? |
A09339 | But how maiest thou be made partaker of Christ and his benfits? |
A09339 | But how may euery one of vs in particular know that Christ is his aduocate? |
A09339 | But how shall I certenly know( say you) whether my faith be a true and liuely faith, or not? |
A09339 | But how shall this triall be made? |
A09339 | But how? |
A09339 | But how? |
A09339 | But howe and by what meanes can wee rise with Christ, seeing we did not die with him? |
A09339 | But howe can this be? |
A09339 | But howe prooues he this? |
A09339 | But howe shall we doe this? |
A09339 | But if faith faile either in the true knowledge, or in the apprehension of Gods mercies, how can a man be saued by it? |
A09339 | But if this were so, why might wee not pray, Let my will be done? |
A09339 | But in whose name pray they? |
A09339 | But is not euery sinne a sinne to death? |
A09339 | But it may be further demanded, howe the holy Ghost can be sent which is euery where? |
A09339 | But it will peraduenture be saide, howe must wee proceede in admonishing of others? |
A09339 | But shall we thinke that our owne Church is free from such men? |
A09339 | But some may aske how any man can see him crucified now after his death? |
A09339 | But some may say, how shall a man so prepare himselfe, that hee may bee fitte for that place? |
A09339 | But some may say, how should this be done? |
A09339 | But some may say, wherein standes our vnbeleefe? |
A09339 | But some men may say, What? |
A09339 | But some will say, how was Christ heard, seeing he suffered death and bare the pangs of hel, and the full wrath of God? |
A09339 | But some will say, we are subiect to many crosses, yea to sinne: what? |
A09339 | But the Astrologer saith, he foretelleth many things, which, as he said, come so to passe: be it so: But howe, I demaund? |
A09339 | But the wicked men said, Howe shall he saue vs? |
A09339 | But to omit this, what if we graunt this which D. Andreas requireth concerning Baptisme? |
A09339 | But to proceede; how are the members of the visible Church qualified and discerned? |
A09339 | But to whom shall we make it sure? |
A09339 | But to whome will this blessed King communicate all these meanes of saluation? |
A09339 | But vpon what cause did God so? |
A09339 | But we for our parts must learne to say with Dauid, What shall I render vnto the Lord for all his benefits? |
A09339 | But what hath bin the issue of it? |
A09339 | But what if a man be not able to restore? |
A09339 | But what is done in this societie? |
A09339 | But what is this taste? |
A09339 | But what mooues him to trust God? |
A09339 | But what other exercises haue you? |
A09339 | But what reason vseth the theefe to draw his fellow to the feare of God? |
A09339 | But what was the behauiour of Christ, when he is thus laden with reproch? |
A09339 | But what was the cause why he praied thus? |
A09339 | But what was the occasion that mooued him to giue so worthie a testimonie? |
A09339 | But what? |
A09339 | But when a man is afflicted, how shall he be able to endure the crosse? |
A09339 | But whence haue the deuils historical faith? |
A09339 | But whence is this efficacie? |
A09339 | But where may wee finde these workes? |
A09339 | But wherein is this likenes? |
A09339 | But wherein, will some say, stands this goodnes of the creature? |
A09339 | But why doth not God conferre the grace of constant faith to all? |
A09339 | But why so? |
A09339 | But why will God haue those whome hee hath sanctified labour still vnder their infirmities? |
A09339 | But why? |
A09339 | But why? |
A09339 | But wilt thou goe an hundred myle for the encrease of thy wealth, and delight of thy bodie? |
A09339 | But you will say: how may we be found worthie to stand before Christ at that day? |
A09339 | But( some will say) how can this be a temporarie faith, seeing it hath such fruits? |
A09339 | By what meanes? |
A09339 | By what notes may this vpright man be knowe, and who is he? |
A09339 | By what signes will this repentance appeare? |
A09339 | By what? |
A09339 | Can Adam and Eue? |
A09339 | Can Gods children be subiect to such infirmities and miseries as we are? |
A09339 | Can a man haue life, and neuer mooue nor take breath? |
A09339 | Can the children of the marriage chamber mourne, so long as the bridegrome is with thē? |
A09339 | Can the deuill? |
A09339 | Can the posteritie of Adam? |
A09339 | Christ saith, Blessed are the peacemakers: but why are they blessed? |
A09339 | Christian men are trees of righteousnesse growing by the waters of the sanctuarie: but what trees? |
A09339 | Come, and see a man which hath told me all things that euer I did: Is not he the Christ? |
A09339 | Concerning their conference, it is said, Iesus knowing all things that should come vnto him, went forth, and said vnto them, Whome seeke ye? |
A09339 | Could the suffering of Christ, which was but for a short time, counteruaile euerlasting damnation, and so appease Gods wrath? |
A09339 | Dare any of you, hauing busines against another, be iudged vnder the vniust, and not vnder the Saints? |
A09339 | Darest thou presume to thinke of Gods mercie? |
A09339 | Dauid often was in this case, as namely when he saith, k Will the Lord absent himself for euer? |
A09339 | Declare how our loue should be a signe of Gods dwelling in vs? |
A09339 | Declare vnto vs some of the principall of these commandements? |
A09339 | Doe not I fill the heauen and earth, saith the Lord? |
A09339 | Doe we therefore through faith make the Law of none effect? |
A09339 | Doe wee here desire to doe the will of God in that perfection it is done by Angels? |
A09339 | Doe you desire the fauour of Monarks and Princes? |
A09339 | Doth his promise faile for euermore? |
A09339 | Eli said vnto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? |
A09339 | Ely said, Why doe ye such things? |
A09339 | Ephron said to Abraham, The land is worth foure hundreth shekels of siluer, what is that betweene me and thee? |
A09339 | Euery one of vs was borne in sinne,& by nature we are most wretched in our selues: now what an one is God? |
A09339 | Father, what an horrible monster am I? |
A09339 | Feare ye not me, saith the Lord? |
A09339 | Feelest thou that thy rebellious flesh carrieth thee captiue vnto sinne? |
A09339 | First as Saint Peter saith, it must mooue vs to eschewe euill and doe good: why? |
A09339 | First, we beleeue that Iesus Christ who was to be the Sauiour of mankinde, must needs be God: what is the reason hereof? |
A09339 | For conscience beares witnes; Of what? |
A09339 | For example, he knoweth that there is a God, and that this God must be worshipped: come to particulars, who God is? |
A09339 | For him whome God honoureth with the protection of his good angels, why should any mortall man despise? |
A09339 | For how can a child call him father, whome he cares not continually to displease through his lewd conditions? |
A09339 | For how can a man truly call God father, when he doubts whether he be the child of God, or no? |
A09339 | For how can they call God their father, that haue no loue to their brethren? |
A09339 | For how shall any glorifie God before he know him? |
A09339 | For how should he call God his father, who will not take the child of God for his brother? |
A09339 | For how should heauen bee your resting place, if on earth you were not troubled? |
A09339 | For if they haue it not, why is it said that these( namely the Iewes) haue no excuse because he came and spake to them? |
A09339 | For many when they are told of their dutie in this point, replie and say, What, tell you me of Conscience? |
A09339 | For the first Saint Iames saith, Is any sicke among you? |
A09339 | For the first point, whether there shall be a iudgement or not? |
A09339 | For the first we hold and teach, that Christs bodie and blood, are truely present with the bread and wine, beeing signes in the Sacrament: but how? |
A09339 | For the soules of the godly lie vnder the altar, and crie, How long Lord Iesus? |
A09339 | For this cause Moses that faithful seruāt of God saith, that the people of Israel dealt wrongfully with the Lord: why? |
A09339 | For thou wast made of God vnto me iustice: But should I feare, whether that one iustice would suffice two? |
A09339 | For vnto which of the Angels said be at any time, Thou art my Sonne, this day begat I thee? |
A09339 | For what can they say for themselues at the day of iudgement, when as now they haue freedome offered and will not accept of it? |
A09339 | For what doth your heart affect? |
A09339 | For what if the position of such and such certaine starres, doe demonstrate such an effect to ensue? |
A09339 | For what is an impenitent sinner? |
A09339 | For what is he to make the best of himselfe, what can he make of himselfe? |
A09339 | For what is the best of vs, but a lumpe of clay? |
A09339 | For what is the cause why men daily defile their bodies& soules with so many damnable practises, without any remorse of conscience? |
A09339 | For what is this, I pray you, but to sell time, and to take more of our neighbour, then right? |
A09339 | For what praise is it, if when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye take it patiently? |
A09339 | For what( saith the Apostle) shall we say to these things? |
A09339 | For wherefore did Christ ascend to heauen? |
A09339 | For who can loue God, especially when he is wounded by him? |
A09339 | For who can truly call GOD father, vnlesse hee haue the spirit of adoption, and be assured that he is the child of God? |
A09339 | For who separateth thee? |
A09339 | For why did not Abimelech commit adulterie? |
A09339 | For why should not a spirit as well haue societie with a witch, as to eate meate? |
A09339 | For why was he sanctified? |
A09339 | For why, say I, doubtest thou of his good will towards thee, who in mercy hath sent me a minister to cal thee vnto him? |
A09339 | For why? |
A09339 | For, I pray you, is God of lesse truth, because his truth is neglected, and derided of them that contemne it? |
A09339 | From the deuil? |
A09339 | From what? |
A09339 | From whence is this difference? |
A09339 | Further if it be eternall, it must either be? |
A09339 | Further, Christ being smitten, makes this answer: If I haue euill spoken, beare witnesse of the euill: but if I haue well spoken, why smitest thou me? |
A09339 | Further, it may be demanded, in what forme this Creede was penned? |
A09339 | Giue] If bread be ours, wherefore are we to aske it? |
A09339 | God for his part would haue all men to be saued: why then are they not? |
A09339 | God is iust and can not sinne: but if he lead men into temptation shal he not be the author of sinne? |
A09339 | God is loue we grant, but how may we know, that God is loue to vs? |
A09339 | God is my light, and my saluation, whome should I feare? |
A09339 | God is the strength of my life, of whom should I be afraid? |
A09339 | Gods name must bee hallowed among men: but howe is it done? |
A09339 | Good Master, what shall I doe, that I may possesse eternall life? |
A09339 | Had he such care to prouide a kingdome for his children before they were? |
A09339 | Had not these men so? |
A09339 | Halfe my goods? |
A09339 | Hast thou learning? |
A09339 | Hath Christ giuen himselfe for thee, and is thy conscience setled in this? |
A09339 | Hath God forgotten to be mercifull? |
A09339 | Hath God forgotten to be mercifull? |
A09339 | Hath god of his mercie giuen his own sonne to be my Sauiour, to shed his blood for me? |
A09339 | Hath he shut vp his tender mercie in displeasure? |
A09339 | Hath he shut vp his tender mercies in displeasure? |
A09339 | Hath not the potter power ouer the clay, to make of the same lumpe one vessell to honour, and another to dishonour? |
A09339 | Hath not the potter power to make of the same lumpe one vessell to honour, and another to dishonour? |
A09339 | Haue then the starres no force in inferiour things? |
A09339 | Haue they which keepe these commandements their praiers granted? |
A09339 | Haue ye not read in the law, how that on the Sabbath daies, the Priests in the Temple breake the Sabbath, and are blamelesse? |
A09339 | He hath blasphemed, what haue we any more neede of witnesses, he is worthie to die? |
A09339 | He said, Where haue ye laid him? |
A09339 | He said, Why wilt thou goe to him this day? |
A09339 | Hence it may be demanded whether Angels be of this Triumphant church or no? |
A09339 | Here further it may bee demaunded, who may vse the sword? |
A09339 | Here it may be asked, whether we may regard our dreames now, as Pilates wife did or no? |
A09339 | Here it may be demaunded, whether Christ and his religion may not be maintained by the sword? |
A09339 | Herod feare and reuerence Iohn Baptist, and heare him gladly? |
A09339 | His countenance fell down: and the Lord said vnto Cain, Why art thou so wrath? |
A09339 | How Christ beeing God, can be forsaken of God? |
A09339 | How and in what manner are wee to pray for our enemies? |
A09339 | How are the children of faithfull parents in the couenant? |
A09339 | How busily sought I the things of the world? |
A09339 | How can God manifest his loue to vs, he beeing a spirit inuisible? |
A09339 | How can a sinfull man hallow Gods name which is pure and holy in it selfe? |
A09339 | How can that be infinite iustice, which may any way be appeased by humane satisfactions? |
A09339 | How can that seruant please his master, which can not tel what he would haue done of him? |
A09339 | How can this be, seeing the deuill hath power to sinne; which is not from God? |
A09339 | How can this be? |
A09339 | How can this be? |
A09339 | How can we be assured of our continuance in grace: for we may fall as well as they doe? |
A09339 | How can we haue life eternal now, that are so miserable, and so ful of wants? |
A09339 | How comes this to passe? |
A09339 | How commeth it to passe that many after their Baptisme for a long time feele not the effect and fruit of it, and some neuer? |
A09339 | How doe the wicked enter into hell and the godly into heauen? |
A09339 | How doe you conceiue this one God in your minde? |
A09339 | How doe you know that such a man hath faith? |
A09339 | How doe you perswade your selfe that there is such a God? |
A09339 | How doth God bring men truely to beleeue in Christ? |
A09339 | How doth God humble a man? |
A09339 | How doth he shewe himselfe to be a King? |
A09339 | How else? |
A09339 | How excellent is thy mercie, O God? |
A09339 | How farre forth may we vse those Psalmes in which Dauid vseth imprecations against his enemies? |
A09339 | How if a man neuer keepe the condition, to which he bound himselfe in baptisme? |
A09339 | How is a man cleared from the guiltines and punishment of his sinnes? |

A09339 | How is that prooued? |
A09339 | How is the corruption of sinne purged? |
A09339 | How is this one God distinguished? |
A09339 | How is this sight of sinne wrought? |
A09339 | How know you that God gouerneth euery particular thing in the world by his speciall prouidence? |
A09339 | How know you that God hath forgiuen your sinne? |

A09339 | How many are mine iniquities& sinnes? |
A09339 | How many waies doth God heare mens praiers? |
A09339 | How may I know that the things I enioy are mine by Christ, and that I doe not vsurpe them? |
A09339 | How may a man know that he is iustified before God? |
A09339 | How may a man know whether Sathan be his God or not? |
A09339 | How may any man forgiue trespasses, seeing God onely forgiues sinne? |
A09339 | How may we be resolued that Iesus of Nazareth the sonne of Mary, was the sonne of God, and the Messias: he came but basely into the world? |
A09339 | How may we discerne of spirits? |
A09339 | How may we keepe our selues in God, and neuer commit the sinne to death? |
A09339 | How may we know that God dwelleth in vs, and we in him? |

A09339 | How may we know that God graunteth our prayers, made according to his will? |
A09339 | How may we know that our consciences will not condemne vs? |
A09339 | How may we preserue our selues against these seducers? |
A09339 | How must we heare Gods word that it may be effectuall to saluation? |
