A28525as the Souls is, which is in the Body of God, it is hidden from all Evil, in God; Who will find it?
A28525for it is its own Maker or Framer; whence will another Turba come, when a thing is in the Eternity, where there is no limit more?
A28525is it our living?
A28525where is now your Love?
A28525whither will you go, and where will you abide when the whole World shall Cry, Wo, wo, on you?
A28525why do we not hold to; depend on Bread according to our outward Reason?
A63913Are they able to demonstrate that there is no God?
A63913Because you ca n''t perceive how it can be made out of Nothing: Why do you not also think your self Eternal?
A63913But is the Chair of Scorners at last prov''d the only Chair of Infallibility?
A63913But what puts the Senses in the way and method to correct themselves?
A63913But whether the will to write, or the will to forbear, come upon him according to his will, or according to any thing else in his own power?
A63913But you will say, I ● it not impossible to admit of the making any Thing out of Nothing, since we can not possibly conceive it?
A63913Do not those in Bedlam think themselves wiser than others?
A63913Do they hope to slip beyond the Bounds of his Power, by falling into Nothing when they dye?
A63913Do they think that we are all become such Fools to take Scoffs for Arguments, and Railery for Demonstration?
A63913First, I would ask them, whether they imagine that all Matter, every Particle of Matter thinks?
A63913For example, My right hand writes, whilst my left hand is still, what causes Rest in one, and Motion in the other?
A63913I asked the Gentleman how he would come to know their proper Places and Insertions?
A63913If he had, or had not a full Conviction of the Soul''s Immortality?
A63913If these Men were capable of Counsel, I would ask them whether they are absolutely sure that they are in the right?
A63913If this Answer satisfies not,''t is plain the meaning of the Question, what determines the Will?
A63913Let Mechanism here make an Experiment of its Power, and produce a spiral and turbinated Motion of the whole moved Body without an External Director?
A63913Let therefore the Imagination be never so strong, the Confidence never so great, the Intent never so good, the Question is, whence is this?
A63913Matter must be allowed Eternal: Why?
A63913Must those be the Standard of Mankind, who seem to have little lest of Humane Nature, but laughter and the shape of Men?
A63913Now as it not more reasonable to ascribe the constant observance of these Rules, to an Intelligent Being, than to Chance or no Cause?
A63913Now what can be more expressive of two several perceptive Souls in Man, whose Natures and whose Laws are contrary to each other?
A63913Quae Religio?
A63913Secondly, If all Matter do not think, I next ask, Whether it be only one Atom that does so?
A63913Should a Jest or a foolish Witticism be of more weight than the Dictates of common Sense and sound Reason?
A63913Si vult& potest, quod solum Deo convenit, unde ergo Mala?
A63913The Question therefore is not, Whether a Man be not a free Agent?
A63913To the Question, what is it determines the Will?
A63913What he thought of the Christian Religion?
A63913When did Imagination give Life to a Fly, or do the least act out of it self?
A63913Whether he conceived his Mind to be now as clear, as active, and as vigorous as it had been some few days before his Ilness?
A63913Who knoweth the Spirit of Man that goeth upward, and the Spirit of the Beast that goeth downward to the Earth?
A63913Why former Heroes fell without a Name?
A63913Why not their Battles told by lasting Fame?
A63913aut cur illa non tollit?
A63913aut ea quae vix summâ Ingenij ratione comprehendat, nulla ratione moveri putet?
A63913if they thought of these things, without being told, why may not others do so too?
A63913into what is it resolved?
A63913or on what account do we frequent any Places, either of Publick or Private Worship?
A63913or to sue out Prohibitions in the Court of Heaven to hinder the Effects of Justice there?
A63913that is to say, whether he can write or forbear, speak or be silent, according to his will?
A63913upon what doth it rest?
A63913what Evidence doth the Person bring of his Mission from God?
A63913what doth he produce more than what may be the fruit of Imagination?
A32696And doth not that Examination import a Reflection of the discerning Faculty both upon it self, and its action of discerning?
A32696And what can his fear and shame be referred unto, but his being conscious that he hath committed a fault, and so deserves to be beaten for it?
A32696But is this, think you, to be charged upon a defect in the Understanding; or upon the obscurity of the things themselves?
A32696But what of that?
A32696But who is it, I pray?
A32696But will you adventure the reputation of your Judgment so far as to commend me to his notice?
A32696But, doe we not all abhorre Death?
A32696But, have you acquainted this Noble person Isodicastes, with the occasion of our present meeting?
A32696But, if it be not Natural, and the effect only of Presumption; how comes it to be so Universall?
A32696But, is not Virtue, on one side, a sufficient recompence to it self?
A32696Do you think I can discourse any whit tolerably of so difficult an Argument, and in such a presence, without great labour of the Mind?
A32696Doth it not clearely demonstrate to you, how great the additions are, that the beauties of Nature are capable of receiving, from the hand of Art?
A32696Doth not every wise man die with extream content and serenity of mind; and only Fools with disquiet, impatience, and reluctancy?
A32696Ecquando dispositionem dilectioni et affectui genuino deditam degustabis?
A32696Even when you please: What say you of going thither this present evening?
A32696For example, who doth not desire and wish perpetuity of youth, strength, and health; and to be exempted from the stroke of that common enemy, Death?
A32696For, if the Soul be mortal,& subject to utter dissolution with the body; to what purpose doth all Piety and Religion serve?
A32696For, why should the harmlesse and patient sheep be worried by the noxious and bloody Wolf?
A32696How like you this so much admired Garden?
A32696How now, Lucretius; you an Epicurean, and yet against liberty of judgement among Philosophers?
A32696If I respect Greatness of Judgment; whither, even in this Age of Light, should I go but to your Lordship?
A32696Is that Abhorrence Natural, or not?
A32696Lend you the clue of my Reason, say you?
A32696Nay, more, why should we consider whether there be a God or no?
A32696No?
A32696Nonne nobis videtur Animus is, qui plus cernat,& longiùs, videre se ad meliora proficisci: ille autem, cujus obtusior sit acies, non videre?
A32696Of what?
A32696Or the innocent Dove become a prey to the greedy Falcon?
A32696Pray, deal ingenuously with me, have you no Adversaria, no First- Draught of that piece you intended, among your Papers?
A32696Suppose it to be Natural; what would you inferr?
A32696What issue can we expect of all our Prayers, of all our Adorations, of all our Self- denying acts of obedience, of all our unjust Sufferings?
A32696What need, therefore, of any such state to come, untill which the reward of Virtue, and punishment of Vice, is imagined to be deferred?
A32696When will you permit me to wait upon you to him?
A32696Whither then could that discourse of yours tend?
A32696Who I?
A32696Why Sir, do you conceive, that what you affirm of the impossibility of internal Reflection, in any but an Immaterial Agent, is of Universal truth?
A32696Why not?
A32696Why should we worship God at all?
A32696Will you beleeve me, Athanasius?
A32696Would you have an Architect acquaint you with his design, only by shewing you his Materialls lying confusedly congested together in a heap?
A32696and Vice, on the other, a sufficient punishment to it self?
A32696and no state remain after death, for the reward of the sufferings of the one, and punishment of the cruelty of the other?
A32696and such, than which no Executioner can inflict a more grievous and horrid?
A32696pray Sir, who was that?
A37239Again; How can she sev''ral Bodies know, If in her self a Body''s Form she bear?
A37239All Bodies have their Measure, and their Space; But who can draw the Soul''s dimensive Lines?
A37239And if her Pow''rs be dead, then what is she?
A37239And why did God in Man this Soul infuse, But that he should his Maker know and love?
A37239Are not Souls within themselves corrupted?
A37239As if most Skill in that Musician were, Which had the best, and best tun''d Instrument?
A37239As if the Pensil neat, and Colours clear, Had Pow''r to make the Painter excellent?
A37239BVT how shall we this Vnion well express?
A37239But how, till then, shall she her self employ?
A37239But since the Brain doth lodge the Pow''rs of Sense, How makes it in the Heart those Passions spring?
A37239Could Sense make Marius sit unbound, and prove The cruel Lancing of the knotty Gout?
A37239Could any Pow''r of Sense the Roman move, To burn his own Right Hand with Courage stout?
A37239Do not we still taste of the Fruit forbid, While with fond fruitless Curiosity, In Books prophane we seek for Knowledge hid?
A37239Do you then think this Moral Virtue good?
A37239Doth not the Soul wax old?
A37239For her true Form, how can my Spark discern, Which, dim by Nature, Art did never clear?
A37239For how may we to Other Things attain, When none of us his own Soul understands?
A37239For what is Man without a moving Mind, Which hath a judging Wit, and chusing Will?
A37239For who did ever yet, in Honour, Wealth, Or Pleasure of the Sense, Contentment find?
A37239For, how can that be false, which ev''ry Tongue Of ev''ry mortal Man affirms for true?
A37239For, what, say they?
A37239How can a Mirror sundry Faces show, If from all Shapes and Forms it be not clear?
A37239How can there Idiots then by Nature be?
A37239How can we say that God the Soul doth make, But we must make him Author of her Sin?
A37239How comes it then that Aged Men do dote; And that their Brains grow sottish, dull and cold, Which were in Youth the only Spirits of note?
A37239How is it that some Wits are interrupted, That now they dazled are, now clearly see?
A37239IF she doth then the subtile Sense excel, How gross are they that drown her in the Blood?
A37239In fine; What is it, but the fiery Coach Which the Youth sought, and sought his Death withal?
A37239Must Virtue be preserved by a Lye?
A37239Now, if Love be compell''d, and can not chuse, How can it grateful, or thank- worthy prove?
A37239Or having Wisdom, was not vex''d in Mind?
A37239Or how could she the World''s great Shape contain, And in our narrow Breasts contained be?
A37239Or in the Body''s Humours temper''d well; As if in them such high Perfection stood?
A37239Or the Boy''s Wings, which, when he did approach The Sun''s hot Beams, did melt and let him fall?
A37239Or the false Pails, which oft being fill''d with pain, Receiv''d the Water, but retain''d it not?
A37239Or what do those which get, and can not keep?
A37239See how Man''s Soul against it self doth strive: Why should we not have other Means to know?
A37239Sense thinks the Lightning born before the Thunder: What tells us then they both together are?
A37239Sense thinks the Planets Spheres not much asunder: What tells us then their Distance is so far?
A37239Since Nature fails us in no needful thing, Why want I Means my inward Self to see?
A37239The divers Forms of things how can we learn, That have been ever from our Birth- day blind?
A37239Then what do those poor Souls, which nothing get?
A37239WHY did my Parents send me to the Schools, That I with Knowledge might enrich my Mind?
A37239Were she a Body, how could she remain Within this Body, which is less than she?
A37239What Alchymist can draw, with all his Skill, The Quintessence of these out of the Mind?
A37239What Jewels, and what Riches hast thou there?
A37239What do we?
A37239What heav''nly Treasure in so weak a Chest?
A37239What is it then that doth the Sense accuse, Both of false Judgment, and fond Appetites?
A37239What is it, but the Cloud of empty Rain, Which, when Jove''s Guest embrac''d, he Monsters got?
A37239What makes us do what Sense doth most refuse, Which oft in Torment of the Sense delights?
A37239What?
A37239When Men seem Crows far off upon a Tow''r, Sense saith, they''re Crows: What makes us think them Men?
A37239When we, in Agues, think all sweet things sowre, What makes us know our Tongue''s false Judgment then?
A37239Who can in Memory, or Wit, or Will, Or Air, or Fire, or Earth, or Water find?
A37239Who ever ceas''d to wish, when he had Health?
A37239Why doth not Beauty then resine the Wit, And good Complexion rectify the Will?
A37239Why doth not Health bring Wisdom still with it?
A37239Why may they not retain this Privilege?
A37239With what Delight are we touch''d in hearing the Stories of Hercules, Achilles, Cyrus, and Aeneas?
A37239what dost thou bear, Lock''d up within the Casket of thy Breast?
A26963Aliud, how prove you it to be there, rather than elsewhere?
A26963An Atome of Earth or Water, is not annihilated; and why should we suspect, that a Spiritual Substance is?
A26963And What''s a Contradiction, if this be not, to say, I do that which I can not do, or I can do that which I have no power to do?
A26963And as to the incapacity of misery which you talk of, why should you think it more hereafter than here?
A26963And do you think, that his love and goodness hath no answerable effect?
A26963And do you think, that this doth not more advance Souls than abase them?
A26963And how far their Authority extendeth?
A26963And if they be two, why are they not separable?
A26963And if you feign God to be partible, is it not more honour and joy to be a part of God, who is joy it self, than to be a created Soul?
A26963And is it many, or one concentred Soul?
A26963And what happiness then can we hope for, more than a deliverance from the present calamity?
A26963And whom do they believe?
A26963And why doth the Church believe?
A26963And why should we fear Perfection?
A26963And yet what is more certain than that there is Substance, Entity, and God?
A26963Are all men that can not define, therefore void of all knowledg?
A26963But do you know nothing but by Definitions?
A26963But if the world have but one soul, what mean you by its concentring in the Carcass?
A26963But what is such a mental Spirit?
A26963But what mean you by[ the active Principles concentration in its own body]?
A26963But what''s your proof?
A26963But you would know what''s meant by a spirit, whether all that is not evident to sense?
A26963Can Apes and Monkeys do all this?
A26963Can he not separate them when he will?
A26963Can not God make a Spirit?
A26963Do they not shew his glory?
A26963Do you believe, that each one hath now one individual Soul, or not?
A26963Do you know what material signifieth?
A26963Do you really believe, that there is a God?
A26963Do you think any dust, or drop, any Atome of Earth or Water, loseth any thing of it self, by its union with the rest?
A26963Do you think, that any Atome loseth its individuation?
A26963Do you think, that passive matter doth as much manifest Gods Perfection, and honour the Efficient, as vital and Intellectual Spirits?
A26963Doth God give them Laws to know and keep as moral free- agents?
A26963Doth acting, without Power to act, cause the Power?
A26963Doth not God know every dust, and every drop from the rest?
A26963Doth not all the world difference Virtue and Vice, moral good and evil?
A26963For before you can believe that Jesus is the Christ, and his Word true, how many impossibilities have you to believe?
A26963Hath he not imprinted his Perfections in some measure, in his Works?
A26963How many Score Volumes have told it us?
A26963If God made as many substantial individual Souls, as men, is there any thing in Nature or Scripture, which threatneth the loss of Individuation?
A26963If it be a pure Spirit, I would then know, what is meant by Spirit?
A26963If it be, is it a pure Spirit, or meerly material?
A26963If not here, why should you think that their misery hereafter will be ever the less, or more tolerable for your conceit, that they are parts of God?
A26963If not, how can we lose that which we never had?
A26963If separable, why not separated?
A26963If therefore all men have but one Soul, why is it not you that are in pain or joy, when any, or all others are so?
A26963If to part of the world, if each Vortex, Sun, Star,& c. have a distinct individuate superior Soul, why not men also inferiors?
A26963If you mean, That it''s but an accident, that''s disprov''d before; what accident is it?
A26963Is any Substance lost?
A26963Is it a real Being?
A26963Is it because they believe?
A26963Is it not Earth and Water still?
A26963Is it only the difference of an ▪ Instrument in Tune, and out of Tune?
A26963Is it really different from the Body?
A26963Is it themselves?
A26963Is it therefore a real Being, really different from the Body, and able to be without it?
A26963Is not the Haecceity, as they call it, continued?
A26963Is not this a just progress?
A26963Is the common light and sense of Nature no Evidence?
A26963Is the simple Nature changed?
A26963Is the universal Soul there fallen asleep, or imprisoned in a Grave, or what is it?
A26963Is there not in the Creature a communicative disposition to cause their like?
A26963Is this a Priviledg to boast of?
A26963That you Act vitally, understand and will?
A26963Therefore Belief is first, and is not caused by that which followeth it?
A26963These are now my doubts; but are they the fruits of Diligence?
A26963Those Conceptions are the cause of words and actions: and is there no cause of those Conceptions?
A26963What happiness then can we hope for more than deliverance from the present calamity; or what misery are we capable of, more than is common to all?
A26963What if I said,[ The Chandler made a Candle of Tallow, and then by another kindled it]?
A26963What need you the Power, if you can act without it?
A26963What should hinder it?
A26963What''s here wanting to a Definition?
A26963When the dust of the Carcass is scattered, is the Soul concentred in every atome, or but in one?
A26963When will you shew us an Ape or a Monkey, that was ever brought to the Acts or Habits before mentioned of Men?
A26963Whereas were the Soul such as repesented, who could rob it of its Endowments?
A26963Who can trust the Honesty of such men, as multitudes of Popes, Prelates, and Priests have been?
A26963Why are you not answerable for the Crimes of every Thief, if all b ● ● one?
A26963Why did the knees prevent me?
A26963Why do not Beasts speak as well as Men?
A26963Why should you think he would not?
A26963Will they stick at a Lye, that stick not at Blood, or any wickedness?
A26963Will this make a Captive bear his Captivity, or a Malefactor his Death?
A26963Yea, of those that were born deaf and dumb?
A26963You add, how easie it would have been to you to believe as the Church believeth ▪ and not to have immerged your self in these difficulties?
A26963You add,[ How shall I know the difference between the highest degree of materials, and lowest of immaterials?
A26963You ask, Is it able to be without it?
A26963and am I thus rewarded for not believing at a common rate?
A26963and whether or no all things invisible, and imperceptable to Sense, are accounted such?
A26963and yet knew God and his Law, and how to name the Creatures, and how to dress and keep the Garden?
A26963or is it not?
A26963or what misery are we eapable of, more than what is common to all?
A26963or why the breasts, that I should suck?
A26963or[ a man made an house of Bricks, and cemented them with Mortar,& c.]?
A26963why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?
A26963will you thence prove, That he made a Candle burning without fire, or the House without Mortar?
A32698And has it from that time to this day continued in use and esteem among wise men wheresoever Letters and Civility have flourish''d?
A32698And how unstable, how obnoxious to Divisions must that State be, that hath two Heads?
A32698And what could he have said, either more intelligible in it self, or more favorable to the doctrine of animal Spirits?
A32698But What becomes of the Acid reliques of the meat, and of the saline dissolving Ferment of the Stomach?
A32698But from what kind of texture or modification of the supposed Particles, doth the faculty of Perceiving or discerning Objects arise?
A32698But how is the Body to be made more permeable?
A32698But how long after the wounds had been inflicted, did the Doggs live?
A32698But in what do''s the Utility of it consist?
A32698But is it not plainly dissonant to reason, ye will say, that the same remedies should be at once both Aperient and Astringent?
A32698But what kind of Sense is this by which the Stomach perceives the want of food?
A32698But why do I insist upon Reasons, when an easie Experiment offers itself to determine the Question?
A32698By what signs can they give notice of their meaning?
A32698Can they be made, and conserved in water, and after most part of the brain hath been taken away?
A32698Do the Animal Spirits all that while run forth and back uncessantly, to continue the sensation both without and within?
A32698Do they bring in with them the idea of the impression made by the Object upon the external Organ?
A32698Doth any Man here expect from me other Examples of the like Mistakes?
A32698Et si hominibus serviendo, tam admiranda perficiant; quid, quaeso, ab iis expectabimus, ubi instrumenta fuerint in manu Dei?
A32698Farther, to what end should they recur to the Brain through the Nerves?
A32698For, if Hunger be an ungrateful Sense of emptiness or want of food; why should not Satiety be a grateful sensation of the supply of that want?
A32698For, were the stomach a part endowed with a dull sense, how could it be sensible of the vellication of hunger?
A32698For, what can be imagin''d more likely to impell it, or drive the thinner parts of it into, and through the Streiner, than Pressure?
A32698For, who can conceive so gross a contradiction, as a dead Angel?
A32698For, why might not so great a wound, penetrating into the cavity of the Thorax, be sufficient of it self to destroy them, in that space of time?
A32698Have I not in this place incurred the danger of being accused of contradicting myself?
A32698Have these fibres hooks to take hold of every bit of meat that comes into the mouth?
A32698If either of them be true, is not the other necessarily false?
A32698If so, with what Tongue can they deliver their relation?
A32698If therefore Obstruction may consist with Laxity, why may not Deoppilation as well consist with Astriction?
A32698Is it not manifest even to sense, that the stomach is alwayes more or less distended, in proportion to the quantity of nourishment brought into it?
A32698Is it not only from hence, that the intercourse betwixt the Brain and Muscles of that part, is wholly stopped?
A32698Is it referrible to any of the five external senses?
A32698Is no part of the Aliment then, in the act of Chylification, metamorphosed from one species to another?
A32698Nevertheless it may be inquired, why the Sphincters have no Antagonists, when to the clausor palpebrarum is opposed the Elevator?
A32698Now if these be true Histories, what will become of the supposition, that the Animal spirits are generated in the brain?
A32698Or do hunger and thirst constitute peculiar sorts of senses proper only to the stomach?
A32698Quid de Humano ulteriùs corpore, quod jam dissectum hic,& ad intima usque vitae sensusque penetralia reclusum vidisti, dicam?
A32698Risum teneatis amici, an lachrymas?
A32698So true even in this natural sense is that Distich of Euripides; Quis novit autem, an vivere hoc sit emori: An emori, hoc sit quod vocamus vivere?
A32698To relate to the commmon Sense what is done in the external Organs?
A32698Volo Currere pedes?
A32698Was Anatomy then taught by the Founder of Memphis?
A32698What need is there then of Attraction to do the same work?
A32698What then are they, who put their life into the hands of such men?
A32698What then remains for me to do in this perplexity of Thoughts?
A32698What then remains to be known by us of our selves?
A32698What then remains to be the subject of my doubting and suspense?
A32698What then shall I do to extricate my thoughts from the perplexing difficulties of this Aenigmatic Paradox?
A32698Where then is the necessity of that conclusion, that Famin alone kill''d them?
A32698Wherein then doth that peculiar Faculty consist?
A32698Who can be persuaded, that a marble pillar, when knock''d with a mallet, feels as much pain, as the limbs of an Animal, that is beaten with a cudgel?
A32698Why then may it not be supposed, that the like effect may be somtimes produced in the body of man?
A32698admirandis) Qua ratione, et quibus apparitoribus mandata mentis deferri possint momento ad membra remotissima?
A32698and what is that in reality, but to generate flesh, nerves, veins, arteries,& c.?
A32698and whence comes that distension?
A32698and wherein can we imagine that invigoration to consist, if not in a distention of those Fibres, by some influx from the Brain?
A32698can they, like chords, pull it down?
A32698currunt: quiescere?
A32698or how doth this Experiment demonstrate, that the whole revenue of Chyle is, as a due tribute, paid into the Exchequer of the bloud?
A32698or is it the custome of Nature to multiply faculties to no purpose?
A32698quam subitò omnia calent denùo, florent, vigent, splendentque?
A8567410; yet necessity doth prick us forward; because, O Lord, whither shall we go from thy presence to have any comfort in this our misery?
A8567427, being our light and our salvation, whom then methinks should we fear?
A85674A Comforter, and truely so: for how can sadnesse take fast hold in that brest where this heavenly joy and comfort doth abide?
A85674Alas, how sweet is the desire of Retaliation and Revenge to the solitary nature, being without the directing power of Godlinesse?
A85674Alas, wilt thou goe away from me?
A85674Alter it we can not; how then is it in us to do good or to do evil?
A85674And is it not too true that man is thus borne to trouble?
A85674And now me thinks I heare the Body thus speaking unto the Soule, O my love, wilt thou goe away from me?
A85674Any outward crosse or trouble is tolerable, and may be sustained: but the inner trouble of a distracted minde and wounded Conscience, who can bear?
A85674Are we like the Whales, Iob 7. that thou se ● test a watch over us?
A85674But further; to see what a deal of trouble and unquietnesse is there always stirring in the sinful minde of man?
A85674But now for want of faith, what do we not fear?

A85674Chapter) like a fierce Lion without mercy?
A85674Have we receiv''d all good from him so long, And shall he think that now he doth us wrong?
A85674How can that act of the understanding be accounted ours, which we do not enjoy and truly consent unto?
A85674How doth the fancie hereby become polluted and most grosly defiled with all kinde of basenesse and obscenity?
A85674How many excuses do we make, rather then we will take the pains to go to Heaven?
A85674How often and how apt are we now presently to terrifie, disquiet and affright our selves at nothing, perchance but at the very shadow of things?
A85674How often thus doe; the allurmeents of pleasure involve our minds in a restlesse unquietnesse, untill wee give satisfaction thereunto?
A85674I say, What are all our thoughts, our words and deeds but vain, even of no weight, substance and solidity?
A85674I say, What labour is enough?
A85674If not, what meaneth that complayning which I heare?
A85674Is there not a season saith, the Wise man, and a time for every purpose under the Heaven?
A85674O Lord, how can we be quiet and at rest, to sustaine such a Hell in our breasts?
A85674O Lord, we have sinned, as Iob saith in his seventh Chapter, What shall we doe unto thee, O thou preserver of men?
A85674O Lord, what reward of thanks can we give unto thy mercy that hast done so great things for us whereof we now rejoyce?
A85674O Repentance, Repentance( under Christ Iesus) thou only Saviour of Mankind, who can value thy worth?
A85674O let us then take heed, take heed I say lest our hearts bee hardned with stubbornesse and selfe opinion; hath not the Potter power over his Clay?
A85674O man, unhappy man, who can sufficiently bemoane thee?
A85674O shall we never see an end of this?
A85674O ● ow do we want that light of understanding and retention of Memory in good things which we ought to have?
A85674Shall we alwaies abide this Hell upon earth?
A85674Since then it is as it is, how can we chuse but vehemently take on and complaine in the anguish of our spirits?
A85674The Sun setteth and returnes againe, but man dyeth, and where is he?
A85674The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
A85674Was it a pleasure for thee, O Lord, to give us being that we might be miserable?
A85674What have wee at all that we have not received?
A85674What heart is there can chuse but smart to see this thy misery, and here to shew the griese that I now conceive?
A85674What man liveth and shall not see death, or shall deliver his soul from the hand of Hell?
A85674What patience or comfort canst thou have, Who trustest in such things that can not save?
A85674What peace at all is there long within us?
A85674What shall I say?
A85674What shall I say?
A85674When God le ts loose this roaring Lyon, O what destruction doth hee bring upon us; how strongly and cunningly doth he hold fast our soules in sinne?
A85674Why dost thou weep my deare?
A85674Will this trouble continue with us as long as we live?
A85674and as he saith againe in his sixth Chapter, Is our strength the strength of stones; or is our flesh of brasse?
A85674and his wayes past finding out, for who hath knowne the mind of the Lord?
A85674do not things fall out and prosper as well with the wicked as the righteous?
A85674for, saith Solomon, The spirit of ma ● may sustain his infirmity: but a wounded spirit who can bear?
A85674hast thou provided us as wild beasts are provided, to be baited with destruction?
A85674how can we chuse but retort again, Oh that we were so rich, so powerful as thus and thus?
A85674how can we put up such and such things?
A85674how far are are we from that glorious comfort and most happie state we use to enjoy in the time of grace?
A85674how far without reason doth this passion extend in our melancholy soul, even almost into an infinite conceit?
A85674how full of raging and masterlesse thoughts are we?
A85674how intricately are we intangled by his snares, that we can not get out?
A85674how often again doth impatiency haunt us till wee are engaged in wrath and distemper?
A85674how often doth the love of Riches torment us into the consent of injustice?
A85674how often doth the provocations of lust follow our thoughts, till wee commit Adultery with the Baby of our owne fancie?
A85674may not the spirituall Husbandman breake off the Olive branches, and graft them in at his pleasure?
A85674or who hath beene his Counsellor?
A85674that thou wilt not spare no ● passe by our iniquities?
A85674the Lord being the strength of our life, that is, the trust and confidence of our souls, of whom or of what should we be afraid?
A85674the heart( saith Ieremy) is deceitfull above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
A85674what a restlesse vexation another while do the ambitious projects and aspiring motions of our vain imagination put us unto?
A85674what an happinesse were it then for us to be able to crush our enemies, and to cut them off as we would desire?
A85674what be they but bare thoughts?
A85674what course can we take to come out of this unhappinesse?
A85674what doth a ● le us?
A85674what inventions doth it frame for the provocation of lust?

A16740But leauing the first folly of the first offender, Oh what a swarme of follyes hath this ignorance begotten in the worlde?
A16740Consider then if there bee a vile nature in any of these, how much more vile is man, that hath the condition of all these?
A16740Consider therfore( I say) whom wee are to thinke on?
A16740Fie what an infamy is this vnto man?

A16740How did Adam merit mercie, when hee fled from his presence?
A16740Is it not a name of great disgrace to be called a disobedient Sonne or a faithlesse feruant?

A29667Alas, are we not all since Adams lapse buried under the shadow of death, and lost in the region of darknesse?
A29667And as he saith of himselfe, Who was weak and I was not weak?
A29667And doth not this convince them of what I affirme?
A29667And if I were now all gore blood, would I not now goe to the Chirurgians?
A29667And if it doth exist, must it not be this which you call actus secundus?
A29667And if this be the nature of the first, what can the second Being( which is the effect, and so lower) be, but a bare notion?
A29667And is not Truth the same?
A29667And others, whose affections are as it were benummed, and all activity is placed in their braine, understand more of the divine nature?
A29667And then how doth this excellency discover it selfe?
A29667Are not the two Testaments expositors of the two Tables?
A29667Are not these like the untrue Mother, who will kill the childe, because she can not call it her own?
A29667Are not those who propound, and they who entertain such a definition, justly compared to the Constable and the Country- Justice?
A29667Are not we as unable to prescribe the manner as the matter of Gods worship?
A29667Are not wee said to be made after the image of God?
A29667Are there not to the constitution of every Being three notions requisite?
A29667As, Vtrum differentiae possunt esse sub eodem genere cum illo quod differre faciunt?
A29667BUT still it is demanded, why may not the understanding supply the third place?
A29667But so, infinity, power,& c. all attributes are in God his Essence, as well as unity?
A29667But the Soule doth act, when it pronounceth a false position?
A29667But where is the second which entertaineth them?
A29667But where shall wee finde these in the understanding?
A29667But where will you finde This?
A29667Can these men, these Beings be said to know God?
A29667Canst thou number the moneths that they fulfill, or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
A29667Do they leave us any latitude in any other of the Commandements?
A29667Doth not the people of Israel say, Wee are our owne Lords, who shall controll us?
A29667Est superficies concava corporis ambientis; Where is the truth of this in the highest heaven which incompasseth all the rest?
A29667Every truth is* a myste ● y; what must that be then, which is purposely vailed by the Spirit?
A29667For in these, how many, how eternall are the debates?
A29667For what giving and receiving can here be, besides that which maketh both to become one and the selfe same?
A29667For what( to speake in their language) is experiment, but the daughter of light, gathered by frequent observation?
A29667For, how is it possible, that a man should act falshood, a vanity, nothing?
A29667For, what is Discipline but that Doctrine of the manner of Gods worship?
A29667For, where, or who is He, that can resist the struglings of Divine Truth, forcing its way out from the Wombe of Eternity?
A29667Hath Ramus any whit advanced the cause in his definition?
A29667Have they not virtutes Intellectuales& Morales?
A29667How can it choose then, but to be one and the same, seeing( as I said before) such a Recipient can not entertain any other guest?
A29667How can then one piece of that Being impeach the other, one part of the Soule quarrell with the other?
A29667How doth our great Master perplexe himselfe in the inquiry of causes?
A29667How doth the Spirit befoole these men?
A29667How hath Aristotle defined Place?
A29667How is it said that Action is the perfection of all things?
A29667Hîc rogo, non furor est, ne moriare, mori?
A29667I doe seeme( if I mistake not) to maintaine this position by an evident demonstration, thus; Is there any that denyeth God to be purus actus?
A29667I may affirme the same of time, Tempus est mensura motus; What doe I know of time by this?
A29667I should onely aske this one question, Can the divels beleeve or know God to be all mercy?
A29667I will allow it; but is not the Ceremoniall included under the second precept?
A29667IF wee are thus at a stand, in these very beginnings, what shall wee bee, when wee enquire after Causes?
A29667If Faith and Reason, if knowledge and grace be all but one light, how commeth it to passe, that some who have lesse light, have more faith?
A29667If Time and Place be nothing, if all our Actions are but One: How can there be evill and good?
A29667If it be any other than a work of reason, how can it constitute, or become the forme of a rationall soule and humane understanding?
A29667If it be neither more excellent, nor lower, is it various, hath it lesse or more of action?
A29667If it be such, how differs it from thought, ratiocination or positions in the minde?
A29667If the members composing the Body, have matter and forme, why then not the whole Body?
A29667If the truth come from God, then why is it not immediately, intrinsecally, infused into the soule it selfe?
A29667If then it have no Being, the Soule can not act in it, and so it can not be the act of the Soule; For, how shall the soule or truth act upon nothing?
A29667If with this eye you view that Scripture, you will see it in its glory, Is thine eye evill, because thy brothers good increaseth?
A29667In Metaphysicks, with what curious nets do they intangle their hearers?
A29667Is it not a great question, Vtrum Prudentia sit virtus Moralis?
A29667Is not Reason?
A29667Is not this the Athenian Altar, which groaned under that Superscription,* To the unknowne God?
A29667Lastly, how passeth this light from the understanding to the soule?
A29667Locus and spatium corporis locati, is little better; what have we in this definition, of the intrinsecall nature of place?
A29667May we not say of these, what one saith wittily of the Soule?
A29667Now what is the reason of the rule?
A29667Now, what can this act be in this subject, whereof we discourse, but the reasonable working of the soule in this or that conclusion?
A29667Or secondly; Shall the cause be more ignoble than the effects?
A29667So then, What is the form of this primus actus?
A29667The Spirit saith, How can you love whom you doe not know?
A29667The ignorance of this Point, hath raised that empty Question, Whether the Soule or the Body be contentum?
A29667The questions about Faith and Love, are sufficient to fill the world with perpetuall quarrels; As, whether Faith precedeth Repentance?
A29667Thirdly, Who is it that communicateth this light?
A29667This is that which I aymed at; and why not?
A29667This not being well weighed, hath cast our wits upon strange rocks, hath raised this Question, How doth God see things?
A29667View then This new- borne Beauty; mark its Feature, proportion, lineaments; Tell mee now, was Its Birth an object of pity?
A29667Vnde rerum individuatio exoriatur?
A29667Vtrum Prudentia possit separari à virtute Morali?
A29667Vtrum Summum Bonum sit in Intellectu, an Voluntate?
A29667Vtrum universale sit aliquid reale, ● n notionale tantùm?
A29667Vtrum virtus Moralis sita sit in Appetitu Rationali, an Sensitivo?
A29667We have in an houre, an halfe, a quarter, a minute, a second,( the 60 part of a minute:)& how many subdivisions will a scruple admit of?
A29667Wee should not need to check and raise our selves with Davids out- cryes, why art thou cast downe my soule, why art thou disquieted within me?
A29667What a tedious work doth this very division lay upon us?
A29667What are the Mathematicall sciences, but Vnity turning it selfe into severall formes of Numbers and Figures, yet still remaining entire?
A29667What can those workings added to that, from which they receive themselves?
A29667What difference is there betwixt virtus quâ and a faculty?
A29667What fruit doth it yeeld better than the Silk- worme, which is worne onely for ostentation?
A29667What is True Philosophy but Divinity?
A29667What is it to be infinite?
A29667What is the forme of it?
A29667What is this Discourse, but the Work of an Vnderstanding?
A29667What is this their actus primus?
A29667What is this, I am that I am; but this, I am one?
A29667What is with them the forme of a reasonable soule?
A29667What then?
A29667When have the Sun- beams their vigor and efficacy, beating upon the burning glasse, but when the glasse hath gathered them all into one?
A29667Where is the power of our five senses, which are in their nature so honourable, that nihil cadit in intellectum, quod non prius cadit in sensum?
A29667Where is their vertue, but in communis sensus?
A29667Where or what is it?
A29667Where then is the sinne?
A29667Where, or who is Hee that by a Viperous wrea ● he*, or other assault, can smoother Hercules, though yet but sprawling in his cradle?
A29667Whereas, if we Knew aright, how even and smooth would be the way of action, and how great our contents therin?
A29667Whether Faith be a particular application of Christ to my selfe, or onely a bare spirituall beleefe, that Christ is the Son of God?
A29667Whether faith be a beleeving that I am saved, or depending upon God for salvation?
A29667Whether there be a prescript forme of Church- government?
A29667Which now is said to know more?
A29667Who is it that receiveth from the womb of Eternity that reasonable creature, but the creature received?
A29667Who is there that knoweth truth?
A29667Who will not cleerly lose himselfe in such an inquest?
A29667Why doe wee make Philosophy and Divinity two Sciences?
A29667Why may not I say the same of Time, seeing by all mens confessions they are twins of the same womb?
A29667Why may not I say, that if Time doth not parcell out one act, it can not act upon two, when the duality ariseth onely from Time?
A29667and I may say, How can you do what you know not?
A29667and if in any thing we are honoured with this inscription, it is in the most noble part?
A29667and those again, who are for knowledge, as Angels of light, are not partakers of that which is called Saving faith?
A29667can there then be a soule, till there be reason?
A29667doth not every body say, that in God there is no potentia?
A29667how can I from hence ghesse time to have so considerable a Being, as that it shall make two of that whith otherwise would be but one?
A29667if the Will act that way, which is, or ought to be to the Vnderstanding proprium quarto modo; Is not then the will an Vnderstanding?
A29667is not some act?
A29667more than to entangle empty wits withall?
A29667or canst thou mark when the Hindes doe calve?
A29667or rather of envy?
A29667what is the usefulnesse of this more than Arachne''s web?
A29667who was offended and I did not burne?
A29667why may it not be this Recipient?
A29667why should we then think, that That Commandement which God hath honoured in the second place, should be forgotten?
A70182& not to the bodie B?
A70182* How is it that those that are under continual temptations to vice, are yet kept within the bounds of vertue, and sobriety?
A70182* Matter can do nothing but by motion, and what relation hath that to a moral contagion?
A70182* that any thing may be a suitable means to any end?
A70182And can they be Physically divided into parts of which they do n''t consist?
A70182And how can their deliverance be effected?
A70182And how can we be assured of that, if we know not that Veracity is a perfection?
A70182And how oddly does it look, that one solitary Individual of a Species should exist for God knows how many ages alone?
A70182And if he will the contrary to be true, namely, That he does not Exist, what becomes of him then?
A70182And if there be lapsed Souls there, how shall they be recovered?
A70182And indeed what can be absolute Soveraignty in an intelligent Being, if this be not?
A70182And shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
A70182And that in the best and noblest pieces of his Creation?
A70182And then I would ask him, how he came to know what he affirms so boldly?
A70182And what a Paradox is this, that our Understandings, as our Eyes, are made onely for things revealed?
A70182And what am I concern''d then in his sins, which had never my will or consent, more than in the sins of Mahom ● t, or Julius Caesar?
A70182And what could God do more correspondently to his Wisdom and Goodness, dealing with free Agents, such as humane Souls are, than this?
A70182And what difference betwixt Impossibility and Necessity?
A70182And what great matter is it if they be not, provided they be as they are and ought to be, Divine?
A70182And what greater Absoluteness than this?
A70182And who knows but this might be part at least of that Glory which, he says, he had before the world was?
A70182And why were we drawn out of our nothings, but because it was better for us to be, than not to be?
A70182And yet that others, that have strong motives and allurements to the contrary, should violently break out into all kinds of extravagance and impiety?
A70182But did you take this for any shew of a proof?
A70182But if all alike live in bodies of air in the next condition,* where is then the difference between the just and the wicked, in state, place and body?
A70182But it will be said,( 3) If our Souls liv''d in a former state, did they act in bodies, or without them?
A70182But shall the righteous perish with the wicked?
A70182But the Patriarch Abraham was of another mind, Shall not the Judge of the whole Earth do right?
A70182But then you will say, What is the door and lock to this terrible place?
A70182But whither am I going?
A70182But who does not at first sight discern the weakness of this Allegation?
A70182But will it be said, why did not the divine Goodness endue us all with this moral ● ability?
A70182But( 2) Why is it so absurd that the Soul should have actuated another kind of body, before it came into this?
A70182Can any one say that our supposition derogates from the Divine concourse or Providence?
A70182Could not the Eternal Logos and the Ministry of Angels sufficiently discharge that Province?
A70182Does Mental and Sensitive Nature act on Brutes and Vegetables and all the Passive Elements?
A70182Doth it use to make and presently destroy?
A70182FOR can it be imagin''d that every Argument can be made a proportioned Medium to prove every Conclusion?
A70182For how can that be the effect of an equilibrious or sufficient Free Will and Power, that is in a manner perpetual and constant?
A70182For if they can act so fully and beatifically without any body, what need there be any Resurrection of the body at all?
A70182For their Prince is the Prince of the Air, as the Apostle calls him; and where can his subjects be, but where he is?
A70182For what a kind of Wisdom or Justice would that be that tended to no good?
A70182For what can infinite Wisdom be, but a steady, and immoveable comprehension of all those natures and relations?
A70182For what should make any mass of Matter one, but that which has a special Oneness of Essence in it self, quite different from that of Matter?
A70182For who shall be the common Seeds- man of succeeding Humanity, when all mankind is swept away by the fiery deluge?
A70182For why may not this Earth be the onely Hospital, Nosocomium or Coemeterium, speaking Platonically, of sinfully lapsed Souls?
A70182For, would the world have been too little to have contain''d those souls, without justling with some others?
A70182Had it not been better for us to have been made in this condition of security, than in a state so dangerous?
A70182Here therefore I demand, Are we not to thank him and praise him for his actions of Wisdom, Justice, and Holiness, though they be necessary?
A70182How can a Body that is neither capable of sense nor sin, infect a soul, as soon as''t is united to it, with such vitious debauched dispositions?
A70182How can such a cause produce an effect so disproportionate?
A70182How does this consist with Gods fresh creating humane Souls pure and innocent, and putting them into Bodies?
A70182How then can the Idea of God chiefly consist in this?
A70182How then should the Soul remember what she did or observ''d many hundreds, nay thousands of years ago?
A70182If I was then newly Created when first in this body; what was Adam to me, who sinned above 5000 years before I came out of nothing?
A70182If all were Eye, where were the Hearing,& c. as the Apostle argues?
A70182If bounded by Wisdom and Justice, why is it bounded by them, but that it is better so to be than otherwise?
A70182If so, how comes it about that at last they can all so well consist together?
A70182Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own?
A70182Is it possible there should be such a kind of Geometry, wherein any Problem should be demonstrated by any Principles?
A70182Is not this to ● lurr his goodness, and to strait- lace the divine beneficence?
A70182Is there a word said in his revealed Will to the contrary?
A70182Is this an effect of those tender mercies that are over all his works?
A70182Matter can do nothing but by motion, and what relation hath that to a moral Contagion?
A70182Moreover the Question of the Disciples,* Was it for this mans sin, or for his Fathers that he was born blind?
A70182Nay, than in the sins of Beelzebub or Lucifer?
A70182Or what need of such a contraction in the Spirit of Nature or Plastick Soul of the corporeal Universe, that it may be contrived into a Nut- shell?
A70182Quid jucundius quàm scire quid simus, quid fuerimus, quid erimus, atque cum his etiam Divina illa atque suprema post obitum mundique Vicissitudines?
A70182Therefore before I go further, I would demand, whence comes this meer notional or speculative variety?
A70182To frame one thing and give it such or such a nature, and then undo what he had done, and make it another?
A70182Was it for this mans sin, or his fathers, that he was born blind?
A70182What a distorted and preposterous account is that found, that God should punish men before they sin, because he foresees they will sin?
A70182What is then: mere Will and Power left alone, but a blind Hurricane of Hell?
A70182What reason can be more clear or more convincing, That God can create a Spirit in the proper sense thereof, which includes Indiscerpibility?
A70182What remains then to be his Humiliation, but the condescending to assist and countenance the unclean endeavours of Adulterers and Adulteresses?
A70182What then is that action which proceeds onely from that part from which Goodness is secluded?
A70182What was it that gave us our being, but the immense goodness of our Maker?
A70182When it was just and wise for God to do so or so, and the contrary to do otherwise, had he a freedom to decline the doing so?
A70182Where is then the difference betwixt the just and the wicked, in state, place, and body?
A70182Where should he use his Understanding and Reason, if not in things unrevealed in Scripture; that is, in Philosophical things?
A70182Whither then can this Sol redivivus or the Earth turned wholly into the Materia subtilissima again be carried, but into the Sun it self?
A70182Who acquainted him with the Divine Counsels?
A70182Why should God make the Spirit of a Flea, which was intended for the constituting of such a small Animal, large enough to fill the whole world?
A70182Why therefore may we not lapse as before?
A70182Why?
A70182Will not the sincere and vertuous both in the Earth and Air be secured from this sad fate?
A70182and how shall we know it is so, unless there be an intrinsecal relation betwixt Veracity and Perfection?
A70182and if it be an humbling and debasing of him, how is it glorious?
A70182be said neither to have done good nor evil, if they pre- existed before they came into this world?
A70182or, hath he by his holy pen- men told us that either of the other ways was more sutable to his beneplaciture?
A70182or, would they by violence have taken any of the priviledges of the other intellectual Creatures from them?
A70182shall Christ undergo another and another death for them?
A70182that any Object may be conformable to any Faculty?
A70182the state of silence and insensibility?
A70182would not the difference be insensible, and the scandal, if any, the same in both?
A62243& c. have said, p Who shall bring man to see, what shall be after him?
A62243( d) What will not Malice invent?
A62243( f) Mans goings are of the Lord, how can a man then understand his own way?
A62243( hast thou Conscience?)
A62243A man may well ask Iob''s question, f Doth the wild Ass bray when he hath grass?
A62243An intent to wean us from the World, and make us yield up our hearts, and place our affections on that true object of love, himself?
A62243An invitation to more fixed joys then this World affords, to find out, and taste, and see, how good and gracious he is?
A62243And can any man expect, even in this World, to separate God''s two great attributes of Justice, and Mercy?
A62243And can he behold ignorance and folly, and not believe there is some such thing as knowledge, or perfect wisdom?
A62243And can we be content to part with the one, but on no terms to be deprived of the other?
A62243And how happens it or comes it to pass, that it supplies the place of Reason, that more than ordinary divine gift in us?
A62243And if that perfect love, that should have held place in us, be dispossessed, shall not reason and understanding struggle for her?
A62243And if the Psalmist ▪ s demand should be applied to outward goods, and one in that very notion should cry out, u who will shew us any good?
A62243And if the same were an infused spirit, and not part of the body, how the same with the body should cease to be or move?
A62243And if this be the usual result of its treachery and fraud; and it may be prevented, why should it not be prevented?
A62243And may we stile our selves of Paul, or of Apollos, and then in assuming the Title, cast away our Charity and our Reason too?
A62243And notwithstanding my follies and transgressions, I have said in my heart, What evil happeneth unto me?
A62243And now if our gourd be withered, shall we sit down in a sullen mood?
A62243And shall this be performed by our endeavours to find out means to forget our sufferings?
A62243And therefore I appeal to any man of Reason, whether direct Idolatry be not folly, or rather a phrensy and madness?
A62243And therefore ought not we in reason, as much as may be, to keep out all Rivals?
A62243And what is that we seem to drive at all our lives and why?
A62243And what kind of Affection is this?
A62243And when it is a cogitation, how can it cease to be?
A62243And why then should I exceed that measure, which I would have only meted out for my self?
A62243And would we not our Imagination could invent, or find out some such thing?
A62243Are not all his Temporal blessings on condition?
A62243Are they not alike cunning?
A62243But now, how are things brought in this shape to the Affections?
A62243But who is so mad to part with any one Virtue, for Honour, as necessity often inforces, if a man will needs get it?
A62243Caesar we say, was a man of quick Parts; and how was he so?
A62243Can any man in Sorrow, do, or say that to his Neighbour which Reason forbids?
A62243Can he find such a thing as falshood in himself, and not believe there is truth?
A62243Can he observe himself sometimes harsh and cruel, and not acknowledge that there is such a thing as mercy?
A62243Can he observe his own weakness, without acknowledging some absolute power?
A62243Did I say, cast away those thoughts?
A62243Did ever any man observe the motion of his soul, and not at that time see his ignorance, and impute folly to some of his actions?
A62243Did ever man yet behold two Souls, naturally, as we say in common acceptation, alike?
A62243Did he never injure man?
A62243Do they not build their Nests alike?
A62243Do we not find our Imagination allured or inticed to work from the restless strugling of some affection?
A62243Do we not love and admire Truth, Justice, Mercy,& c. Do we not hate the contraries thereof, falshood, wrong and cruelty?
A62243Do we not think our State Politicks look on all others, as Fools and Ideots?
A62243Do we not, or may we not observe, there has been sometimes a burning within us?
A62243Do''s it at any time teach us or instruct us to do or say, what we would not have done, or said in relation to our selves?
A62243For unless it be, to resolve that question, What shall I do to inherit eternal life?
A62243For why does a man desire any thing, but because he loves it?
A62243Has not that alone, and not Sense, raised the Proverb of the Crow?
A62243Has not that often put divers and various colours upon Objects, as it were through Sense, at several times, and upon several occasions?
A62243Have I considered the vanity thereof, and yet neglected to do good, and distribute?
A62243Have I endeavoured to heap up Riches, and knew not who should enjoy them?
A62243Have not many men thought, they have done God good service in some action, and yet repented them of the action?
A62243Have we not, as it were Yesterday, beheld things as Delightful, Beautiful and Pleasant, through that false glass only, which to day we do not?
A62243How Love may be regent?
A62243How far the Soul of man is similar with that of Brutes?
A62243How far will it asswage my pain, to see another more grievously tormented with the Gout?
A62243How many thousand millions of that sage provident creature, the Ant, do''s one winter destroy?
A62243How oft have we observed our Affection, nay our whole Soul, disturbed and disquieted, through the delusion of this one faculty in us, the Imagination?
A62243How shall we judge of the reality of those fruits, otherwise than by our reason?
A62243How should I believe alteration of substance, when I see plainly there is none?
A62243How were it else possible good men should be willing to die, and leave this World?
A62243I would fain know, what affinity there is between the thoughts of Judgment, Justice, Mercy, or another World; and the Body?
A62243If he determine that he thinks he should; the question will be, about that consideration, how it could arise?
A62243If there be any such thing, as a beast in the likeness of a man, and one should fight with it, I may ask St. Pauls question, What advantageth it?
A62243Is it not from opinion only, and the bare work of the Imagination in them?
A62243Is it not the strength of this one faculty alone so predominant often in us, that introduces various forms of one and the same thing?
A62243Is it not thereupon set on work?
A62243Is it possible, think you, from Reason, to have a belief raised in any mans Soul, of his own merit or worth in relation to any future state?
A62243Is there nothing to be found amiable, but what is corruptible?
A62243Now does not reason dictate this to us?
A62243Now how comes this faculty, which is imployed and works for the enlightning of the whole Soul, to delude and deceive us so often?
A62243Now if any man shall ask me, At what time the Soul of man, being a substance of it self distinct from the Body, enters and possesses the Body?
A62243Or whether they with the imagination have not wrought together of themselves, for want of a better guide, rather than of any spirit from above?
A62243Reason is a good guide, but we often want a better; a There be many that say,( says the Psalmist) who will shew us any good?
A62243Shall I think of being forgot, when I can say, Lord remember me and all my troubles?
A62243Shall he that gives us all things withdraw himself, for want of our beholding him in that notion?
A62243Shall others make room for us, and ours none for others, whom perhaps God has designed to advance, by our seeming loss?
A62243St. Iames, by way of question, informs us a very truth( d) Whence come Wars, and Fightings amongst you?
A62243St. Paul joyns the having and receiving together, y What hast thou, that thou didst not receive?
A62243This was the voice of Iacob upon his Brother''s question,( when he saw the Women and Children) who are those with thee?
A62243Thou hast given me understanding, which is the greater gift, shall that be for nought?
A62243Thou hast given me what I never asked, and bereaved me of what I most desired; but who is able to comprehend the methods of thy Judgments?
A62243Thou hast, to the wonder of others, spared me; whose thoughts have been, when shall he die, and his name perish?
A62243Thou wilt raise them up again at the last, glorious Bodies; and shall that Body from which thou causedst them to proceed, go into the bottomless pit?
A62243Thy ways and methods, and thy decrees, O Lord, are hidden, but wilt thou refuse a present desire of return?
A62243To what place shall we convey them?
A62243What can his meaning be herein by the words himself, and exercise?
A62243What do we talk of finding Happiness here?
A62243What greater cause of joy can any man have, than that it hath pleased God to make him instrumental, in adding Saints unto his Kingdom of Heaven?
A62243What is it?
A62243What occurrence is there in man''s life, that this rule may not be laid to?
A62243What subtle ways do some of them use towards the obtaining their desired prey?
A62243What then?
A62243What was the cause of their good works?
A62243What''s the cause of all this?
A62243What?
A62243When we are answerable for its transgressions?
A62243Wherein the Soul of man exceeds that of Brutes?
A62243Whether that be not guided by affection sometimes, as well as affection by that?
A62243Why a lover of truth?
A62243Why do''s he regard his promise, and sometimes perform it to his disadvantage?
A62243Why is he, or how comes he to be at any time just, and faithful?
A62243and do they not express their Intellect alike; whether by obedience or disobedience to us, whether by their crouching, fawning, or resistance?
A62243and for too close an union amongst themselves, and to other Creatures without respect to us?
A62243and if that escape not his sight, how will he be able to deny, but that there is such a thing as justice?
A62243and shall we be disturbed at the loss, when we voluntarily commit the forfeiture?
A62243and we can have no fitter reply that How readest thou?
A62243and why art thou so disquieted within me?
A62243can he that goes down to the pit praise thee?
A62243can it be any offence against that good spirit, for a man to behold his own unworthiness?
A62243can that wholly allay the tumours in the Soul, which is in some manner the very cause or occasion of those tumours?
A62243come they not hence even of your lusts?
A62243from whence and whom himself?
A62243or for what work or use shall we assign them in our thoughts?
A62243or loweth the Ox over his fodder?
A62243or that my condemnation should be the greater?
A62243or to question whether we mistake not some pleasing motion of our own spirit, for it?
A62243or why does he rejoyce in the fruition, but because he loves it?
A62243or why does he sorrow for the loss, but because he loves it?
A62243our Affections on the suddain kindled and inflamed in a kind of expectancy, we well know not how or of what?
A62243shall charity abide when all things cease, and for the present know not where to fix it self?
A62243to doubt or fear its absence?
A62243was it Faith?
A62243what ways have many Fowls to uncase a poor Shell- fish?
A62243what would they gratify and please, since themselves they can not unless in conjunction with other?
A62243wherewith thou wouldst have been well pleased, and art thou therefore angry with me, and leavest me desolate?
A62243why does he fear the losing it, but because he loves it?
A30150''T is said elsewhere, m For what is a Man advantaged if he shall gain the whole World and lose H ● MSELF?
A30150A sick Body is a Burthen to the Soul, and a wounded Spirit is a Burthen to the Body: A wounded Spirit who ● an bear?
A30150Again, Fifthly, Is it so?
A30150All therefore that he that has lost himself can do, is to sit down by the Loss; Do I say he can do this?
A30150And are you stronger than he?
A30150And indeed, The Soul that doth thus by practice m( though with his mouth( as who doth not?)
A30150And is there not all the reason in the World for this?
A30150And must you needs be upon the extreams, must you mind this World to the damning of your Souls, or will you not mind your calling at all?
A30150And now what would a Man give in exchange for his Soul?
A30150And since the incredulous World will not belie?
A30150And they all with( k) one consent began to make excuse; Excuse, for what?
A30150And to make this a little plainer unto you, I suppose it will be readily granted that Men do lose their Souls, but now how doth God lose it?
A30150And what is ● at Soul that he hath put into it?
A30150And what saith the words before the Text but the same; For what shall it profit a Man, if he shall gain the whole World, and lose his own Soul?
A30150And what then?
A30150And where, when h ● speaketh of them, doth he express a communion tha ● they have with him, by the similitude of 〈 ◊ 〉 Love?
A30150Ask the awakened Man, or the Man that is under the Convictions of the Law, If he doth not feel?
A30150Besides, who knows of all the ways by which the Almighty will inflict his just revenges upon the Souls of damned Sinners?
A30150But I say, What is Man, without this Soul, or s wherein lieth his preeminence over a Beast?
A30150But I say, Would they not change places?
A30150But doth not their thus living, abiding, and retaining a Being( or what you will call it) demonstrate the greatness and might of the Soul?
A30150But how came this to be so?
A30150But how?
A30150But may one not be equally ingaged for both?
A30150But that saith the sinful Soul to this?
A30150But the most of Men do that which you forbid, and why may not we?
A30150But thirdly, Is it so?
A30150But what a famous thing there ● fore is the Soul?
A30150But what has God prepared this Vessel for, and what has he put into it?
A30150But what is this to the casting away the Soul?
A30150But what was the cause of their making this excuse?
A30150But where hadst thou that heart that gives entertainment to these thoughts, these heavenly thoughts?
A30150But who doth he personate, if he says, T ● is an House for the Soul: for the Body is part of h ● that says, Our House?
A30150But who put the thoughts of the Excellencies of the things that are Eternal?
A30150But who told thee that thy Soul was such an excellent thing, as by thy practice thou declarest thou believest it to be?
A30150But will riches profit in the da ● of Wrath; yea are they not hurtful in the day 〈 ◊ 〉 Grace?
A30150But would he have done this for inconsiderable things?
A30150But would you have us sit still and do nothing?
A30150But would you not have us mind our worldly concerns?
A30150But, Fourthly, Is it so?
A30150But, brave Soul, pray tell me what the things are that discourage thee, and that weaken thy strength in the way?
A30150But, but few comparatively will be concerned with this use, for where is he that doth this?
A30150Can the Body bear, y hath it ears?
A30150Can the Body see?
A30150Cast them out of my presence: Well but whither must they go?
A30150Dead How?
A30150Dost thou understand me, sinful Soul?
A30150For how can it otherw ● ● ● ● be, since there is holiness and justice in God?
A30150For so the Question implies, what shall a Man give in exchange for his Soul?
A30150For wha ● shall a Man give in exchange for his Soul?
A30150For what shall a Man give in exchange for his Soul?
A30150For what shall it profit a Man, if he shall get the whole World, and lose his own Soul?
A30150Guilt and Despair, what are they, who understands them unto perfection?
A30150Hath it eyes?
A30150He can not deliver his Soul, nor say, Is there not a lye in my Right- hand?
A30150Hear, did I say?
A30150House and Land, Trades and Honors, Places and Preferments, What are they to Salvation?
A30150I say, dost thou this, or dost thou hunt thine own Soul to destroy it?
A30150I will laugh at him ▪ I will mock at him ▪ But when Lord wilt thou laugh at, and mock at the impenitent?
A30150If all that desire to go to Heaven should come thither, verily they would make a Hell of Heaven; for I say, what would they do there?
A30150If it had been replyed, Stay till Harvest: He returns again, But I have no room where to bestow my Goods?
A30150In a Word who knows the Power of God''s Wrath, the Weigh ● of Sin, the Torments of Hell, and the Length 〈 ◊ 〉 Eternity?
A30150Is his Body dead?
A30150Is it so?
A30150Is it so?
A30150Is the Soul such an excellent thing, and is the Loss thereof so unspeakably great?
A30150Make not therefore these foolish Objections; but what saith the Word, how readest thou?
A30150Now consider what is best to be done, will you take up the Cross come after me and so preserve your Souls from perishing?
A30150Now had one said, Mind the good of thy Soul, Man; the Answer would have been ready, But where shall I bestow my Goods?
A30150Now the Soul is purchased by a Price that the Son, the wisdom of God thought fit to pay for the redemption thereof, what a thing then is the Soul?
A30150Or VVhat shall a Man give in Exchange for his Soul?
A30150Or what shall a Man give in Exchange for his Soul?
A30150Or what shall a Man give in exchange for his Soul?
A30150Or, as you have it in John( will you love your life till you lose it?
A30150Poor besotted Sinner, is this thy last shift?
A30150Reason will say, Then who will profess Christ that hath such course entertainment at the beginning?
A30150Riches and Power, What is there more in the World, for Money answereth all things?

A35985And how came they by it?
A35985And how do they revive in the phantasie the same motions, by which they came in thither at the first?
A35985And if so, how far are they from that happiness& perfection: which consists in knowing all things?
A35985And if thou ask, what motions or qualities these be?
A35985And is not each of them as really distinguish''d from any other?
A35985And that man, by apprehending, becomes the thing apprehended; not by change of his nature to it, but by assumption of it to his?
A35985And that, to apprehend ought is to have the nature of that thing within ones self?
A35985And then may I justly sigh out, from the bottom of my anguished heart, To what purpose have I hitherto lived?
A35985And then, if you enquire, how it comes to pass, that one white is like another?

A35985And, if there be no such motion there, what should occasion him to prosecute or avoid that object?
A35985And, if this latter way; which part first?
A35985And, new parts flocking still from the root; must they not clog that issue, and grow into a button, which will be a bud?
A35985And, what grief, what discontent, what misery can be like the others?
A35985And, who knows but that a like sucking, to this which we have shew''d in magnetick things, passes also in the motion of gravity?
A35985Another question is that great one, Why a Loadstone cap''d with steel takes up more iron, then it would do if it were without that caping?
A35985Are not these parts then actually and really in a mans body?
A35985As, of the Sensible Qalities: ask what it is to be white or red, what to be sweet or sowr, what to be odoriferous or stinking, what to be cold or hot?
A35985Ask any simple Artisan, Where such a man, such a house, such a tree, or such a thing is?
A35985BUt how are these things conserv''d in the brain?
A35985But how can these things stand together?
A35985But is there any sense quicker than the sight?
A35985But now if you ask, why it will not drop, unless the end of the label that hangs be lower then the water?
A35985But whither art thou flown, my Soul?
A35985But you will insist, and ask, Whether in that posture the heart moves or no; and how?
A35985But, how may we esteem the just proportion they have to one another?
A35985But, how much is this indifferent knowledg, that for this purpose is requir''d in this world?
A35985But, in what manner, and by what means doth it begin there?
A35985But, it is like to any one of the things, or to all the ten?
A35985Can any perversity so distort thy straight eys, that thou should''st not look alwaies fix''d on this Mark, and level thy aim directly at this White?
A35985Can these germs chuse but pierce the earth in small strings, as they are able to make their way?
A35985Can we imagine, she would allow him so much lazy time, to effect nothing in?
A35985Doth not all tend, to make one seem and appear that which indeed he is not?
A35985Eels, of dewy turfs, or of mud?
A35985Fishs of Herns?
A35985For, doth not our eye evidently inform us, there are fingers, hands, arms, legs, feet, toes, and variety of other parts in a Mans Body?
A35985For, first, how could he attribute divers sorts of Vacuities to water, without giving it divers figures?
A35985For, how can parts be fitted to an indivisible thing?
A35985For, if any parts be actually distinguish''d, why should not all be so?
A35985For, if he have them not, how doth he work by them?
A35985For, if the nature of a thing were Order, who can doubt, but what were put into that thing were put into Order?
A35985For, setting knowledge aside, what can it avail a man to be able to talk of any thing?
A35985For, what are words but motion?
A35985For, what can be more direct to that effect, than to hide themselvs in Hedg- bottoms, or in Woods?
A35985For, what difference can their being infinite bring to them, of such force as to destroy their essence and property?
A35985For, what reason were there, that thou should''st be implanted in a soil which can not bear thy fruit?
A35985Fourthly, what should hinder the blood from coming in before the heart be quite- empty and shrunk to its lowest pitch?
A35985Hast thou not already paid too dear, for thy knowing more, than thy share?
A35985How could Frogs be ingendred in the air?
A35985How could Rats come to fill ships; into which never any were brought?
A35985How he knows that Ice, quantity for quantity, is lighter then water?
A35985How is it possible that the same thing can be, and not be, in the same notion?
A35985How long this staff is?
A35985How miserably foolish are those conquering Tyrants, that divide the world with their lawless Swords?
A35985How shall the place, or the time pass''d, be removed and put in another place, and in another time?
A35985How shall the same thing be corporeally in two, nay, in two thousand places, at the same time?
A35985How should I stamp a figure of thy immense greatness, into my material imagination?
A35985How should a bone here be hollow, there be blady, and in another part take the form of a rib; and those many figures which we see of bones?
A35985How should the nature of flesh here become broad there round, and take just the figure of the part it is to cover?
A35985How then can a Soul''s judgments be the cause of her misery?
A35985How true it is, that the only thing necessary proves the only that is neglected?
A35985How vehement then must the activity and energy be, where with so puissant a Substance shoots itself to its desired object?
A35985How would the continual driving it into a thinner substance, as it streams in a perpetual flood from the flame, seem to play upon the paper?
A35985If then Sense can not determine any one part; how shall it see that it is distinguish''d from all other parts?
A35985If then it be press''d, how can Substance( in reality or in things) be accommodated to Quantity, since of it self it is indivisible?
A35985If then light makes a greater impression with time, why should we doubt but the first comes also in time; were our sense so nimble as to perceive it?
A35985If there be not, how becomes it a warning to her?
A35985If you ask me, how this comes to pass; and, by what artifice, Bodies are thus spiritualized?
A35985Indeed, how can it be otherwise?
A35985May it not then be my sad chance, to be one of their unhappy number?
A35985Or can they see light, or any thing else, until it be with them?
A35985Or can we suspect she intends him no further advantage, than what an abortive child arrives to in his mothers womb?
A35985Or hast thou not heard, that Who will pry into Majesty, shall be oppressed by the glory of it?
A35985Or rather, why should not salt hinder the fire from being carried thither?
A35985Or to swim over a River, when that is the most immediate way to run from the Dogs?
A35985Or when it leaves our Horizon to enlighten the other world?
A35985Or, what inconvenience would follow, if it be admitted?
A35985Secondly, I would ask him, if he measured his water after every salting?
A35985Some are so curious( shall I say?)
A35985Suppose that half an hour were resumed into one instant or indivisible of time: what a strange kind of durance would that be?
A35985Take a Bean, or any other seed; and put it into the earth ▪ and let water fall upon it: can it be but the bean must swell?
A35985The bean swelling, can it chuse but break the skin?
A35985The next Question is, why a loadstone seems to love iron better then another loadstone?
A35985The skin broken, can it chuse( by reason of the heat that is in it) but push out more matter, and do that action which we may call germinating?
A35985These grounds being thus lay''d, let us examine, whether our Soul doth in this life arrive to the end she was ordain''d for, or no?
A35985To be like, to be half, or be cause, or effect, what is it?
A35985To his second argument, we ask?
A35985To this, I answer, allowing that peradventure it may be so: Who knows the contrary?
A35985To what purpose Aristotle''s and Archimedes''s?
A35985To what purpose are all these millions of toilsome Ants, that live and labour about me?
A35985To what purpose were Caesar''s and Alexander''s?
A35985Toads, of Ducks?
A35985What a difform net, with a strange variety of mashes, would this be?
A35985What a prodigious thing, then, must it be, to have an instant equalise half an hour?
A35985What are those wranglings, where the discovery of Truth is neither sought nor hoped for, but meerly Vanity and Ostentation?
A35985What colour that mans cloaths are of?
A35985What gains could they promise themselvs, to countervail their desperate attempts?
A35985What is it then that makes it be one?
A35985What is likeness, but an imperfect unity between a thing and that which''t is said to be like to?
A35985What is required at thy hands( my Soul) like this?
A35985What motives, what hopes had these daring men?
A35985What prerogative have some that the others have not?
A35985What proportion is there, in the common estimation of affairs, between that trivial sum and fifty millions?
A35985What sense should we imploy in this discovery?
A35985What should move a Lamb to tremble at the first sight of a Woolf?
A35985What sight is sharp enough to penetrate into the mysterious Essence, sprouting into different Persons?
A35985What stange thing, then is this admirable multiplication of Existence: or how may I be able to comprehend it?
A35985What then can we imagine, but that the very nature of a thing apprehended is truly in the man who apprehends it?
A35985What will this be, when fleeting time shall be converted into permanent Eternity?
A35985When we say, water, fire, gold, silver, bread,& c. do we mean or express any determinate figure?
A35985Whether the motion of weighty and light things, and of such as are forced, be not, by him as well as by us, attributed to extern causes?
A35985Whither then is it flown?
A35985Who can read this Riddle?
A35985Who can strengthen our eys, to endure Eagle- wise this glorious and resplendent S ● n?
A35985Who is their guide in these obscure paths?
A35985Why dost thou not break the walls and chains of thy flesh and blood; and leap into this glorious liberty?
A35985Yet Sir, you''r justly accused by this age, Plain truths in difficulties to engage: What needed you to such nice cost proceed?
A35985and again, shrink back into so little room, as when it returns into water or is contracted into ice?
A35985and, if he did, whether he did not find the quantity greater, then before that salt was dissolv''d in it?
A35985and, when it injoyes it, how violent must the extasie and transport be, wherwith it is delighted?
A35985answer''d bredilus, and for beer?
A35985how long wilt thou be inquisitive and curious to thine own peril?
A35985or a Hen at a Kite never before seen?
A35985or means to know, speedier than by our eyes?
A35985or that the corns upon our toes, or calluses, or broken bones, or joints that have been dislocated, have discourse& can foretell the weather?
A35985or what is it more to her than if a straw were wag''d at the Antipodes?
A35985to what a daz''ling height art thou mounted?

A36909If''t is in a Commander''s Power to put all to the Sword, by what Artifice can you plead an Immunity?
A36909In short, this Nature that I carry about me?
A36909In what?
A36909Is it because I yielded my Fruit Without a Grudge, and paid the Annual Rent of Nature without Acquittance?

A36909What''s the meaning of Laws, Rewards, and Punishments?
A36909What''s the meaning of this wealthy Posture?
A36909What''s the meaning of this?

A36909— Alas Poor wretch; and don''t you know how to prevent all this?
A36909— Amongst my Predecessors?
A36909— And after all this, Is''t not pity the poor Rogue shou''d take such pains to be damned?

A36909— Now, are not you a spiteful Spirit, to disturb my Rest, when you have taken yours?
A36909— Now, for Cloaths?
A36909— Now, for a Body, Arms, Thighs, Legs and Feet?
A36909— Of what?
A36909— Or, whether Actions in themselves are either good or ill otherwise than as they receive such denominations from the End which determines them?
A36909— Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Bithinia,& c. — Well, Do you know where you are now?
A36909— Pray how can that be?
A36909— Pray what''s that?

A359872 What then can we imagine, but that the very nature of a thing apprehended, is truly in the man, who doth apprehend it?
A359873 Which is; whether there would be any naturall motion deepe in the earth, beyond the actiuity of the sunnes beames?
A35987Ad imitationem summi, post Apostolorum tempora, ingenio& doctrinâ Theologi, exclamare libet: Quale tibi fabricatus es cubile in mente mea Domine?
A35987Alas, how fondly doth mankinde suffer it selfe to be deluded?
A35987An other question, 5 is that great one; why a loadestone capped with steele, taketh vp more iron then it would do if it were without that capping?
A35987And as soone as it meeteth with the cold ayre in its eruption, will it not be stopped and thickned?
A35987And by what artifice, bodies are thus spiritualized?
A35987And can all this be any thing else but a roote?
A35987And how came they by it?
A35987And how can two such different natures euer meete porportionably?
A35987And how do they reuiue in the fantasie, 1 the same motions by which they came in thither at the first?
A35987And if he did, whether he did not find the quantity greater, then before that salt was dissolued in it?
A35987And if the steame of burned milke cā hurt by carrying fire to the dugge; why should not salt cast vpon it, be a preseruatiue against it?
A35987And if there be no such motion there, what should occasion him, to prosecute or auoyd that obiect?
A35987And if this later way; which part first?
A35987And is not each of them as really distinguished from any other?
A35987And new partes flocking still from the roote, must they not clogge that issue, and grow into a button, which will be a budd?
A35987And that man, by apprehending, doth become the thing apprehended; not by change of his nature vnto it, but by assumption of it vnto his?
A35987And that to apprehend ought, is to haue the nature of that thing within ones selfe?
A35987And then if you enquire how it cometh to passe, that one white is like an other?
A35987And what griefe, what discontent, what misery, can be like the others?
A35987And who knoweth but that a like sucking to this which we haue shewed in magnetike thinges, passeth also in the motion of grauity?
A35987Are not these partes then actually and really in a mans body?
A35987As if you aske them, how a wall is white, or blacke?
A35987BVt how are these thinges conserued in the braine?
A35987Besides, to be tenne, doth expressely imply to be not one: how then can that be a materiall thing, which by being one representeth many?
A35987But how can these thinges stand together?
A35987But how may wee estimate the iust proportion they haue to one on other?
A35987But how much is this indifferent knowledge, that for this purpose is required in this world?
A35987But in what manner, and by what meanes, doth it beginne there?
A35987But is it like to any one of the thinges, or is it like to all the tenne?
A35987But is there any sense quicker then the sight?
A35987But whither art thou flowne, my soule?
A35987But you will insist, and aske, whether in that posture the hart doth moue or no, and how?
A35987Can any dull obliuion deface this so liuely and so beautifull image?
A35987Can these germes choose but pierce the earth in small stringes, as they are able to make their way?
A35987Can we imagine, she would allow him so much laysie time, to effect nothing in?
A35987Doctor Gilbert seemeth also to haue an other controuersy with all writers; to witt whether any bodies besides magneticall ones, be attractiue?
A35987Doth not all tend, to make him seeme and appeare that which indeed he is not?

A35987Exemplorum similitudinum, experimentorum copiam& varietatem?
A35987Fish, of hernes?
A35987For first, how could he attribute diuers sortes of vacuites to water, without giuing it diuers figures?
A35987For how can a straw or feather be imagined possibly to fly with halfe the violence as a bullett of lead doth out of one of those engines?
A35987For how can partes be fitted to an indiuisible thing?
A35987For if any partes be actually distinguished, why should not all be so?
A35987For setting knowledge aside, what can it auayle a man to be able to talke of any thing?
A35987For what are wordes, but motion?
A35987For what can be more direct to that effect, then to hide themselues in hedge bottomes, or in woods?
A35987For what difference can theire being infinite, bring to them, of such force as to destroy theire essence and property?
A35987For what reason were there, that thou shouldest be implanted in a soyle, which can not beare thy fruite?
A35987Fourthly; what should hinder the bloud from coming in, before the hart be quite empty and shrunke to its lowest pitch?
A35987Hast thou not already payed too deare, for thy knowing more then thy share?
A35987How could froggs be ingendred in the ayre?
A35987How could ratts come to fill shippes, into which neuer any were brought?
A35987How is it possible, that the same thing, can be, and not be in the same notion?
A35987How long this staffe is?
A35987How miserably foolish are those conquering tyrants, that diuide the world with their lawlesse swords?
A35987How shall the place, or the time passed, be remoued, and be putt in an other place, and in an other time?
A35987How shall the same thing, be corporeally in two, nay in two thousand places, at the same time?
A35987How should I stampe a figure of thy immense greatnesse, into my materiall imagination?
A35987How should a bone, here be hollow, there be blady, and in an other part take the forme of a ribbe, and those many figures which we see of bones?
A35987How should the nature of flesh, here become broad, there round, and take iust the figure of the part it is to couer?
A35987How then can a soules iudgements, be the cause of her misery?
A35987How true it is, that the only thing necessary, proueth the only thing that is neglected?
A35987How vehement then must the actiuity and energy be, wherewith so puissant a substance shooteth it selfe to its desired obiect?
A35987How would the continuall driuing it into a thinner substance, as it streameth in a perpetuall flood from the flame, seeme to play vpon the paper?
A35987If then it be pressed; how can substance( in reality or in thinges) be accommodated vnto Quantity, seing that of it selfe it is indiuisible?
A35987If then sense can not determine any one part, how shall it see that it is distinguished from all other partes?
A35987If you aske me how this cometh to passe?
A35987If you continue to aske, how doth whitenesse sticke to the wall?
A35987Indeed, how can it be otherwise?
A35987May it not then be my sad chance, to be one of their vnhappy number?
A35987Or can any length of time, draw in thy memory a veyle betweene it, and thy present attention?
A35987Or can they see light, or any thing else; vntill it be with them?
A35987Or can wee suspect, that she intended him no further aduantage, then what an abortiue child arriueth vnto in his mothers wombe?
A35987Or hast thou not heard, that who will prye into maiesty, shall be oppressed by the glory of it?
A35987Or rather, why should not salt hinder the fire from being carryed thither?
A35987Or that the cornes vpon our toes, or calluses, or broken bones, or ioyntes that haue beene dislocated, haue discourse, and can foretell the weather?
A35987Or that the partes of it be more solide then the partes of the stone?
A35987Or to paint a halfe, or a cause, or an effect?
A35987Or to swimme ouer a riuer, when that is the most immediate way to runne from the dogges?
A35987Or what inconuenience would follow, if it be admitted?
A35987Or what is it more to her then if a straw were wagged at the Antipodes?
A35987Or when it leaueth our horizon to light the other world?
A35987Quale tibi sanctuarium aedificasti?
A35987Quid ego nunc styli nitorem,& vbertatem depraedicem?
A35987Scientiarum omnium vnica in dissertatione breuiarium& anacephaloeosim?
A35987Secondly; I would aske him; if he measured his water after euery salting?
A35987Seeing that in materiall thinges, one and many are opposite, and exclude one an other from the same subiect?
A35987Suppose that halfe an houre, were resumed into one instant or indiuisible of time: what a strange kind of durance would that be?
A35987Take a beane, or any other seede, and putt it into the earth, and lett water fall vpon it; can it then choose but that the beane must swell?
A35987That indiuisibly I shall possesse a tenure beyond all possible time?
A35987The beane swelling, can it choose but breake the skinne?
A35987The next question is, why a loadestone seemeth to loue iron better then it doth an other loadestone?
A35987The skinne broken can it choose( by reason of the heate that is in it) but push out more matter, and do that action which we may call germinating?
A35987The thinges( indeed) that are so, haue their resemblances and pictures; but which way should a painter go about to draw a likenesse?
A35987To his second argument, we aske how he knoweth that yce quantity for quantity, is lighter then water?
A35987To what purpose Aristotles and Archimedeses?
A35987To what purpose are all these millions of toilesome auntes, that liue and labour about me?

A35987Toades of duckes?
A35987What a difforme nette with a strāge variety of mashes would this be?
A35987What a prodigious thing then must it be, to haue an instant equalise halfe an houre?
A35987What are those wranglinges, where the discouery of truth is neyther sought, nor hoped for, but meerely vanity and ostentation?
A35987What colour that mans clothes are of?
A35987What gaines could they promise themselues, to counteruaile their desperate attempts?
A35987What is it then that maketh it be one?
A35987What is likenesse, but an imperfect vnity betweene a thing, and that which it is said to be like vnto?
A35987What is required at thy hands( my soule) like this?
A35987What motiues, what hopes had these daring men?
A35987What prerogatiue haue some that the others haue not?
A35987What proportion is there, in the common estimation of affaires, betweene that triuiall summe, and fifty millions?
A35987What sense should we employ in this discouery?
A35987What should moue a lambe to tremble at the first sight of a wolfe?
A35987What sight is sharpe enough to penetrate into the mysterious essence, sprouting into different persons?
A35987What strange thing then, is this admirable multiplication of existence?
A35987What will this be, when fleeting time shall be conuerted into permanent eternity?
A35987When we say water, fire, gold, siluer, bread& c: do we meane or expresse any determinate figure?
A35987Whether the motion of weighty and light thinges, and of such as are forced, be not by him, as well as by vs, atttibuted to externe causes?
A35987Whither then is it flowne?
A35987Who can strengthen our eyes to endure eaglewise this glorious and resplendent sunne?
A35987Who is their guide in these obscure pathes?
A35987Who knoweth the contrary?

A12198And how strong helpes have we to uphold our Faith, in those great things which wee are not able to conceive of, till wee come to possesse them?
A12198And indeed what can bee expected from man whilest hee is vanity but vaine imaginations?
A12198And indispose our selves for doing or taking good?
A12198And shall not wee bee bold to say so after Christ hath taught us, and put this claime into our mouthes?
