A02744	Vse 5 Fiftly, is this the end of God afflicting of us, that hee may better us?
A02744	Vse 6 Sixtly, is it thus?
A02744	Was he not in this world reputed as an abject amongst men?
A02744	Was it not the complaint of David, a righteous and holy man, a man after Gods own heart?
A02744	Was it thus in the green tree, and shall it not be so in the dry?
A02744	Was not David beloved of God, and a man after his own heart?
A02744	Was not Jonas( thinke you) thorrowly humbled for his sinne of stubbornnesse, and disobedience, when hee felt the smart of it, in the Whales belly?
A02744	Was not this Jobs condition, who lost more goods and substance in one day, then thou hast in all thy life?

A02744	What means had Daniel to save him from the fury of those hungry and devouring Lyons?
A02744	What shall I say?
A02744	What stabilitie can be, where Patience sits not at the stern to direct and govern?
A02744	What warrant have any( as some have done) to judge him to bee a desperate castaway?
A02744	What was he that cursed the time of his birth?

A02744	What wicked children had Ely the Priest and judge of Israel?
A02744	What wise man will not be willing to take that course( albeit painfull) which may be beneficiall and profitable unto him?
A02744	What wise man would so do?
A02744	What, is the Lords hand shortened?
A02744	What?
A02744	When affliction commeth, whether wilt thou run for comfort?
A02744	When persecution blew upon the blessed Martyrs, in those bloody times of Popery, how sweetly did grace smell in them?
A02744	Whereas such, as could not endure to heare of these things, are even dismayed by them, and at their wits end: oh what shall they do?
A02744	Which of Gods children can not say as David said, It is good for me that I have been afflicted?
A02744	Which of the godly, and faithfull before us have not drunk of this cup, and been baptized with this baptisme?

A02744	Why do we beat our wall- nut trees?
A02744	Why do wee prune, and cut our vines, is it not to make them more fruitfull?
A02744	Why doth bread strengthen us rather then stones?
A02744	Why hast thou not then prepared thy soul for tentation?
A02744	Why is thy soul then so troubled within thee?
A02744	Why then should hee afflict his children, to prove what is in their hearts?
A02744	Why, doth not God know the secrets of al hearts?
A02744	Why, hast thou not heard what is the portion of Gods dear children?
A02744	Will God hear his crie, when trouble comes upon him?
A02744	Will God hear his cry when trouble commeth upon him?
A02744	Would it not be better with us( thinke you) if the Lord should afflict us more?
A02744	Would this man have laid a little disgrace so neere his heart, if his heart had beene sound towards the Lord, and his anointed?
A02744	Would you know from whence Fortune did first spring?
A02744	Would you know how Gods children do conquer trials and afflictions?
A02744	Would you know the true ground of his patience, and holy fortitude?
A02744	Yet how great were his tryals; how sharp and bitter were his afflictions?
A02744	Yet how sorely did the Lord( almost all his life time) exercise and afflict him?
A02744	You will say it is the nature of bread, to nourish and strengthen us; and why so?
A02744	and can there bee a greater punishment, an heavier judgement then this, not to be restrained from evill courses?
A02744	and did not he tell his Apostles, John 15.18, 19. that they should meete with the same entertainment in the world that he had found amongst them?
A02744	and doth not He withdraw from them at His pleasure?
A02744	and may not hee alter, and change thee at his pleasure?
A02744	and why art thou disquieted within me?
A02744	and will he shew no more favor?
A02744	and will he shut up his loving kindnes in displeasure?
A02744	and yet be a conqueror?
A02744	as Davids children did?
A02744	as appeareth in divers places of Scripture, Hast thou not procured this unto thy selfe, in that thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God?
A02744	because( they say) they are such sinners?
A02744	but if any one brings us any great benefit, we thinke wee can not bid him too welcome; Is affliction come unto thee?
A02744	did he curse the Sabeans?
A02744	did he raile upon the Devill?
A02744	dost thou now behold Gods angry countenance bent against thee?
A02744	doth hee not empty his store and cast away his corne out of his hand?
A02744	doth not he understand our thoughts afarre off?
A02744	expostulated the matter with the Lord saying, Wherefore have wee fasted, and thou seest it not?
A02744	for what is life but death, if it be not upheld by the love of God?
A02744	from whence is this?
A02744	hast thou not read, that wee are every day to take up our crosse?
A02744	hath God forgotten to bee mercifull?
A02744	hath he not formed and fashioned thee?
A02744	hath hee spoken, and shall hee not accomplish it?
A02744	hath the Lord( as thou concievest) set thee up as a spectacle for men and Angels to wonder at?
A02744	hath thy faith lost its former feeling, or working in thee?
A02744	have not I, saith the Lord?
A02744	hazarding her chastitie by a poore plot, yea a sinfull pollicie, exposing his wife to adultrey for his own outward peace and safety?
A02744	how do they tend it, and pitty it?
A02744	how few are they that do lay to heart the afflictions of their neighbors?
A02744	how long wilt thou hide thy face from mee?
A02744	how meekly, how patiently and cheerfully did they go under their crosse, and undergo whatsoever malice and crueltie could inflict upon them?
A02744	is it equall that any should bee punished for that worke which the Lord hath set them about?
A02744	is not the earth the Lords, and the fulnesse thereof?
A02744	is there any cause of mourning?
A02744	is this the best way for us, to bee patient and cheerfull in affliction, to bee perswaded of Gods love?
A02744	lived he not in penurie, in povertie?
A02744	meate to come out of the eater?
A02744	more willing to undergoe them then we are?
A02744	of whom didst thou learn them, but of me?
A02744	or those that wandred up and down in sheepes skinnes and goates skinnes, being destitute, afflicted, and tormented?
A02744	or those that were stoned and hewen a sunder, and slaine with the sword?
A02744	or whither shall wee flee from his presence?
A02744	or why died I not when I came out of the wombe?
A02744	shall his promise faile for evermore?
A02744	should go untouched?
A02744	sweet out of the sowre?
A02744	the blood of the Lords people?
A02744	the horn of Salvation unto them, to be thus maligned and crucified?
A02744	the spirit of a man will sustaine his infirmities, but a wounded spirit, who can bear it?
A02744	they came to vex, and gall him: And in the night time how was he tumbled, and tossed up and down?
A02744	thy friends?
A02744	to thy honors, thy revenews, thy possessions?
A02744	was it not Iob, an upright and just man, one that feared God& eschewed evill?
A02744	was it not innocent blood?
A02744	was the head thus continually exercised and should the body go free?
A02744	whether his stripes bee the blowes of an enemy, or the chastisement of a loving father?
A02744	who is offended, and I burn not?
A02744	why art thou still so sad, so heavie, and dejected?
A02744	will be set his delight on the Almighty?
A02744	will hee call upon God at all times?
A02744	wilt thou teach him what he shall administer unto thee?
A02744	wouldest thou faine thirst, hast thou a will?
A02744	wouldst thou not bind him hand and foot, tye him down to some place or other,& c?
A02744	yea and now are?
A02744	yet how ready are many to give their verdict, and passe sentence upon those that are more then ordinarily afflicted?
A69644	& how then should I think, that his purpose according to election should staud?
A69644	12: 1, 2. as desireous to reason the case with God, VVherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper?
A69644	12: 7?
A69644	13. and who can turn Him?
A69644	14, 10. that they loved to wander, and did not refraine their feet: And what followeth upon this?
A69644	14: 26. as he purposeth, so shall it stand Esa 14: 24. Who can disanull what He purposeth?
A69644	14: 9. Who is wise, and he shall understand these things?
A69644	14: v. 4. Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?
A69644	14?
A69644	16?
A69644	19?
A69644	1?
A69644	20. Who is able to stand before this holy Lord God; and to whom shall he go up from us?
A69644	21: 3, 4, 5?
A69644	22, 23, 37?
A69644	2: 21?
A69644	2: v. 23 How canst thou say, I am not polluted, I have not gone after Baalim?
A69644	40. from vers 12. and forward; and inferreth once and againe vers 18, 25. to whom then will ye liken God?
A69644	44: 24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and oppression?
A69644	5, 11. and 43: 5. saying Why art thou disquieted within me?
A69644	53: 8.?
A69644	7. Who, taking a right View of what Christ suffered, will not think themselves called to suffer for His sake, with great willingness and cheerfulness?
A69644	8. shall not the land ● … remble for this,& every one mourn that dwelleth therein?
A69644	89: vers 14: and who is excellent in power and in judgment, and in plenty of Iustice, Iob 37: vers 23?
A69644	8: v. 19. putteth the matter out of question, Is not the Lord in Zion?
A69644	9: vers 12, 13,& c. The Land was perishing, and was burnt up like a Wilderness, that none passeth thorow: And wherefore was this?
A69644	9?
A69644	Affliction was no strange or uncouth thing to Him, and why should it be strange to me?
A69644	All the day long have I been plagued and chastenedevery morning?
A69644	Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?
A69644	Am I able to search out the Almighty unto perfection?
A69644	And He addeth a Reason;( which is that we are here mainely to speak to;) for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?
A69644	And I pray, was not this also Christ''s lot?
A69644	And because they might have said, what can we do, when you are put to such sufferings, and are shut up in Prison?
A69644	And can we imagine how it can be less?
A69644	And corrupt Reason will againe carp, and say, If so, why doth He yet finde fault?
A69644	And doth not vengeance belong unto Him?
A69644	And had He not a sadder inward exercise, while in the garden, where He was made to sweat drops of bloud, than any that can befall them?
A69644	And he is uncontrollable: Who can call him to an account?
A69644	And how blinde a judge must that be of Gods Wayes and Dispensations?
A69644	And how came it to passe, that the time seemed so short?
A69644	And how shamfully came he off?
A69644	And how was the way of the Lord, in His stately Marchings, hid from their eyes?
A69644	And if not, have they any cause to complaine, and cry out, never man was so hardly dealt with, as they are?
A69644	And if one of his purposes could alter, why not another?
A69644	And if the Lord thinketh good to double our Trials, ought we not sweetly to submit?
A69644	And if there were the least ground of doubt here, where were all my Hop, Comfort& Confidence?
A69644	And if we beleeved, that even such a dispensation as this could do no harme to the Church; how little would we be troubled at it?
A69644	And is it fit for me to be wishing them evil in my heart?
A69644	And it was He, who hid His face from Him; so that He cried out, while on the Cross, My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A69644	And must not this be a great sin?
A69644	And need we fear, that our King shall want Instruments, when He mindeth to work by Instruments?
A69644	And seing their crosse is light, in comparison of what some dear to the Lord have had, is there or can there be any ground for their so complaining?
A69644	And shall I notwithstanding be unwilling to undergo such a small inconsiderable bit of suffering for His Glory, and for the Word of His Patience?
A69644	And should I think to dethrone Him, and take his office and work upon me?
A69644	And should not I possesse my soul in patience, resting on God by faith, that He will judge all these wrongs and injuries, in due time?
A69644	And should not I rejoice, that I am honoured to weare my Captains Livery?
A69644	And the Son of man, that thou vis ● … test him?
A69644	And then, what can be added to them, or taken from them to amende them?
A69644	And what Affliction, Persecution, Tribulation, Distress, Sorrow, Paine and Suffering should I think too much for Him and His sake?
A69644	And what can be shorter, than a moment?
A69644	And what if, as to those Particulars, wherein they think their owne case singular, it be otherwayes indeed?
A69644	And what is mine end, that I should prolong my dayes?
A69644	And what is to follow thereupon?
A69644	And what then can foolish man, that is like a wilde asses colt, do?
A69644	And when settled in the promised Land, how many yeers together was she oppressed by Enemies?
A69644	And why should we not do so, in order to suffering, which is also the free gift of God, and is purchased by Christ?
A69644	And will He be favourable no more?
A69644	And will not their complainings then be found most unreasonable and groundless?
A69644	And will not this stop his mouth, That they can be no more rude, absurd, cruel and unreasonable, than those with whom Christ had to do?
A69644	And yet how little is this beleeved& beleevingly practised?
A69644	Are His mercies clean gone?
A69644	Are not all His Graces and Gifts excellent and lovely?
A69644	Are the Reasons hereof obvious to all?
A69644	Are they not of much more value, than many beasts?
A69644	Are they, think we, calculating it by Years or by Dayes, or by Houres?
A69644	Art taught to anwer by another question, Since he is strong, why should I despond or doubt?
A69644	As if, forsooth, every one almost were not ready to say the same; How few are there, who look upon their own Affliction, as the lightest and easiest?
A69644	As in Iob and David: and why may not the Lord dispense thus with others?
A69644	Behold I am against thee, O Inhabitant of the valley, and rock of the plaine, saith the Lord, which say, who shall come down against us?
A69644	Behold he taketh away, who can hinder him, Who will say unto him, what dost thou?
A69644	But did this any harme to the Church?
A69644	But do they verily think, that none before them, hath had as good cause to speak thus, as they?
A69644	But he is in one mind,& who can turn him?
A69644	But now, seing their King is not like the Kings of the Earth, why are they so heartless, in the day of their extremity?
A69644	But some will possibly enquire, How shall I know, whether or not, I in particular be called to suffer?
A69644	But thus saith the Lord, even the Captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered& c. And what then?
A69644	But was not Christ so?
A69644	But, when with all?
A69644	By what colour of law, was he drawn out of the Temple, and almost killed by the Jewes Act 21?
A69644	Can I finde out all the depths of his Counsel and Wisdom?
A69644	Can this indeed be the work of God, which is thus cast down to the ground, and trampled under- foot?
A69644	Canst thou help the matter?
A69644	Canst thou make that straighter, than it is?
A69644	Consider the Work of God; for who can make that straight, which He hath made crooked?
A69644	Could Sampson, without either Sword or Spear, only with what came next to his hand, the Jaw- bone of an asse, slay so many?
A69644	Could they imagine a shorter?
A69644	Did Christ commit His cause to God, and waite for His decision?
A69644	Did He bear that, under which I should have lyen to all eternity, that I might never come into that place of torment?
A69644	Did He drink the bitter Cup, the Gall and the Worm- wood of Law- vengeance, that I might be freed therefrom?
A69644	Did He lye under the Law- curse, and bear the blowes of Vindictive Justice, for me?
A69644	Do not some finde an Antipathy at the cross working and striving in them, even when the Cross is yet far off?
A69644	Do they not finde some aversness of soul therefrom?
A69644	Do we then make void the Law through faith?
A69644	Doest thou well to be angry?
A69644	Doth His promise fail for ever more?
A69644	Doth His promise fail for evermore?
A69644	Doth it vex him to think, that he hath to do with unreasonable men, worse than Heathens or Turks?
A69644	Doth it vex them to think, that their own familiar friends and acquaintances turn their back upon them, and refuse to comfort them?
A69644	Doth this trouble and vex his spirit, that he is innocent, as to what is laid to his charge, and is persecuted without cause?
A69644	Drank he the Cup of pure Wrath for me, and shall I think much to drink a drop of cold Water for Him?
A69644	For who hath known the minde of the Lord, or who hath been his Counsellour?
A69644	For who hath resisted His will?
A69644	For who hath resisted his will?
A69644	God is not a man, that he should lie, neither the Son of man, that he should repent: Hath he said and shall he not do?
A69644	Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable?
A69644	Had he him not sometimes in a net, and compassed him about, on all hands, that there was no apparent escaping?
A69644	Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath, on every side?
A69644	Hath God forgotten to be gracious?
A69644	Hath God taken away thy goods, and made thee of a rich man, a poor man?
A69644	Hath God taken away thy pleasant Children, in whom thou tookest delight?
A69644	Hath He forgotten to be gracious?
A69644	Hath He in anger shut up His tender mercies?
A69644	Hath He in anger shut up His tender mercies?
A69644	Hath He smitten him, as He smote those that smote him?
A69644	Hath He suffered so much for me, and shall I think much to suffer such a small matter for Him?
A69644	Hath not the Church of Christ been a militant Church from the beginning?
A69644	Have I Him, even Him, set before me, for a Copie, and why should I not be most willing to write after this Copie?
A69644	Have not His Followers then cause of Rejoiceing, upon this account, in the midst of all their Afflictions?
A69644	Have they had through acquaintance with all the Saints of God, in all ages?
A69644	He had a Baptisme to be Baptized with, and how was He straitned, or pained, till it was accomplished?
A69644	He hath determined this to befall me, for his own glory; and should I wish it to be otherwayes?
A69644	He is Almighty; and who can justle with Him, and put Him to take new Resolutions?
A69644	He is wise in heart and mighty in strength, who hath hardened himself against him,& hath prospered?
A69644	He maketh the Earth, and the heavens to tremble, the hils melt and quake before him;& what then can weak man do?
A69644	Hence the Godly Soul can reason, Shall I be against mine own good and advantage?
A69644	Hence the beleeving soul reasoneth with himself, Shall I stand in the way of God''s getting his glory?
A69644	Hereby thou who, in the sight of difficulties, and the sense of thy impotency, art made to say, What is my strength that I should hope?
A69644	His Life was a Life of lasting and growing trouble; and should not I be glade to follow Him, and drink of that Cup, whereof He drank?
A69644	How and why it is, that these crooked things can not be made straight by one or other of the Creatures?
A69644	How averse and unwilling should the consideration of this make us, to judge of God and of his Wayes and Doings, by Carnal Reason?
A69644	How is it, that I am not more in love with the Glorious Cross of Christ?
A69644	How is the faithful city become an harlot?
A69644	How light and easie doth this make every load, that is lying upon our shoulders, when we bear it as bound upon us by an everlasting Decree?
A69644	How long shall the rod of the wicked rest upon the lot of the righteous?
A69644	How long will God lengthen- out this sad trial?
A69644	How long, how long, will this Cup be holden to my head?
A69644	How mercifully then hath God dealt with me, that He hath not made my Torments and Grief inward much more insupportable?
A69644	How oft did they rebel against him, in the wilderness?
A69644	How oft do we finde the Saints of God, in Scripture, cry out of the hiding of God''s face, when outward trouble was lying heavy upon them?
A69644	How oft hath it thus fallen out?
A69644	How oft is He maligned, tempted, slandered, persecuted, called a Devil, hated and hunted, until He is at length condemned and killed?
A69644	How oft was He in hazard of His life, even from His Infancie?
A69644	How oft were snares laid for Him?
A69644	How patiently will we bear the Indignation of the Lord, when we know, that it will be over within a moment?
A69644	How shall I pardon thee for this?
A69644	How then can this time be called and accounted so short?
A69644	How was He maligned, slandered, called a Devil, a glutton and a wine- biber, a profane Person?
A69644	How welcome should an unjust Sentence from men be, when our blessed Lord was taken also from judgment, and was wickedly condemned for a Traitour?
A69644	I made no reserves nor exceptions, when I resigned and gave up my self unto Him; and why should I not now submit to all He commandeth?
A69644	If Christs Crown and Throne were not surer, than the fading and perishing Regalia of Men, what would beleevers do?
A69644	If He will have us venturing upon faith, why should we not glorifie him thereby?
A69644	If not, is not their complaint very groundless?
A69644	If the People of God had the measuring of the time of their trouble, in their own hand, could they give it any shorter duration, than this?
A69644	If this were beleeved, we could not be crying- out, as we are too ready to do, Oh, will those dayes never be at an end?
A69644	Is His mercy clean gone for ever?
A69644	Is it any new thing to see the Church driven to the wilderness, and tossed in the sea of afflictions?
A69644	Is it any new thing to see the Church, even while within the sight of the haven of an happy and glorious Reformation, driven back to sea againe?
A69644	Is it any un- heard- of thing, that the Church must be tossed betwixt winde and wave, and have stormes and tides and all against her?
A69644	Is it not enough, that the common Souldier be as his Captaine?
A69644	Is my strength the strength of stones?
A69644	Is not God the judge?
A69644	Is not her King in her?
A69644	Is not her King in her?
A69644	Is not our Lord, in such a case, a God, that hideth Himself?
A69644	Is not the Lord in Zion?
A69644	Is not this a manifest proof of His being God, when his wayes and Actings transcend our Comprehensions?
A69644	Is outward prosperity the mark of the true Church?
A69644	Is the Law sin?
A69644	Is there any comparison betwixt what is finite,& what is Infinite?
A69644	Is there any measure of time shorter, than a moment?
A69644	Is there not something singular, uncouth, and rare, in this Dispensation?
A69644	Lord why castest thou off my soul?
A69644	May not every Beleever say, did Christ undergo the heavy weight of the Wrath of God, for me?
A69644	Might not the beleever hence say to himself, are there any of the Gifts of God to be refused, or rejected?
A69644	My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A69644	Nay, but O Man, who art thou, that repliest( or disputest) against God?
A69644	Nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: And what is added upon this?
A69644	Nay, who would not say, that these Dispensations do rather drive on a direct designe to defeate the Promises, who would consult with humane Reason?
A69644	Nay, will not the common Souldier be glade to share of the Captains lot of Hardship?
A69644	Now this evil would meet with a check, if these Truthes were beleeved?
A69644	O Lord, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear, cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save?
A69644	O Lord, wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?
A69644	O how great is this advantage, that they may by faith read love in His heart, when anger seemeth to flow out of His hands?
A69644	O how sweet hath He made an hard bed now?
A69644	O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God?
A69644	O what an excellent frame is this; and how useful and necessary for his people, in a day of clouds and darkness?
A69644	Or thy work, he hath no hands?
A69644	Or to the woman, what hast thou brought forth?
A69644	Or what likeness will ye compare with him?
A69644	Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed to him againe?
A69644	Or, hath he not spoken, and shall he not make it good?
A69644	Ought I not to be ashamed of and displeased with my self, upon this account?
A69644	Ought I not to check this aversness?
A69644	Ought not they, upon this Consideration, rejoice in their Lot, and suffer cheerfully, that Christs Interest may prosper more thereby?
A69644	Prudent and he shall know them?
A69644	Satan is at hand, to drive forward; and who can stand, when the Devil driveth down ward?
A69644	Seing Christ suffered so much, and bore the Curse, what have beleevers now to endure, or lye under?
A69644	Shall I measure the unsearchable riches of his Wisdom and Councel thus?
A69644	Shall I not visite for these things?
A69644	Shall I not visite them for these things?
A69644	Shall I think then that he can bring about my good and felicity, by no meanes, and dispensations, but such as I am satisfied with?

A69644	Shall mortal man be more just, than God?
A69644	Shall not my soul be avenged of such a Nation, as this?
A69644	Shall the prey be taken from the mighty; or the lawful captive delivered?
A69644	Shall the thing formed say to Him that formed it, why hast thou ma ● … me thus?
A69644	Shall we condemne him, that is most just?
A69644	Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
A69644	Shall we devise meanes to shift suffering for the Cause of Christ, when He is calling us to it?
A69644	Shall we never see a good day again?
A69644	Shall we not drink( would they say) this potion with delight, that God hath prepared, and carefully made up for us?
A69644	Shall we sin, because we are not under the Law, but under grace?
A69644	Should I carry, as if I repented of owning Him, and His Interest?
A69644	Should I not comply with his holy designe of glorifying himself, by this his Dispensation towards me?
A69644	Should I not rather desire to imitate Christ, and to strive against mine own passion, and willingly forgive them all the wrongs, they do unto me?
A69644	Should not I be satisfied with his being exalted?
A69644	Should we not, upon this account, Glory in Tribulations, as in so many enriching gifts, freely bestowed on us of God, and purchased by Christ?
A69644	Stood He betwixt me, and the pure Wrath of a sin- revenging God?
A69644	Such Priest, such People were here; and what else but ruine could be expected?
A69644	That the Lord shall reigne over them, in mount Zion; and what followeth?
A69644	The Heads did judge for reward, and the Priests did teach for hire, and the Prophets did divine for Money: And what followeth upon this?
A69644	The Priests said not, where is the Lord?
A69644	The cup, which my father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
A69644	The very hauk will not flie by our wisdom Iob: 39: 26. and shall we think to prescribe Rules to God?
A69644	This Trouble will never have an end, this perplexity and exercise is but growing; and what shall I do?
A69644	This was their sin, and what followeth?
A69644	Thus it appeareth, how many things God hath made crooked, to our apprehensions: But now, who shall, who can make these crooked things straight?
A69644	Thus the Lord will consume such, as belch out with their mouth, have swords in their lips, and say, who doth hear?
A69644	Thus was this sin become universal through the whole City Jerusalem, and through the whole Land of Judah: And what followeth hereupon?
A69644	To the Question then, Why the Lord thinketh good to follow this way?
A69644	VVhat do those, who are up before the Throne, think of the many Years of their Trouble and Persecution here below?
A69644	VVherefore are all they happy, that deal very treacherously?
A69644	VVhy dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance?
A69644	Was it not so with Hamans device and bloody plot, to cut off all the Iewes?
A69644	Was it not so with Saul, in his wicked persecution of David, oftentimes?
A69644	Was it not thus also, in the dayes of Deborah, when there was not a spear or sheild seen among Fourty Thousand in Israel?
A69644	Was not here a suffering of an high degree, both in body and in name?
A69644	Was not the Church keeped fourtie yeers wandering in the Wilderness, before she came to rest?
A69644	Was sinless and holy Jesus patient, and should I be impatient, who am punished of God, less than mine iniquities deserve?
A69644	We are ready to cry out, when afflictions lye heavy upon our loines, oh will they ever come to an end: shall we never be redeemed herefrom?
A69644	We have to do but with men, whose Actions are over- ruled by the Omnipotent hand of a Merciful God?
A69644	Were they ashamed, when they had committed abomination?
A69644	Were they not captives in Babylon Seventy Yeers?
A69644	What a shame were this?
A69644	What a wonderful dispensation was this, that the Lord should suffer them to do to this non- such and eminent man, even what they would, and listed?
A69644	What are those crooked things, which God hath made?
A69644	What faire law or justice could Christ get?
A69644	What followeth?
A69644	What if that edifie more, than many preachings did, or would do?
A69644	What is man that thou art mindful of him?
A69644	What is the whole of time unto Eternity?
A69644	What men more irrational, than the brutish, ignorant rabble, set on by judicially- blinded and enraged Ring- leaders, the Priests and Rulers?
A69644	What shall we then think of the Sufferings of Christ, who was higher than the Princes of the earth, who was King of Kings and Lord of Lords?
A69644	What though they have been innocent, as to men; and vvhat though they be sincere and upright, as to God?
A69644	What unsutable& unworthy carriage must this be?
A69644	What way we should, upon this account, Consider the Works of God?
A69644	What will they be, in the hands of the Almighty, who shaketh Nations?
A69644	What, shall we meditate a way of shifting and putting away such an honourable Divine Gift, more excellent than faith, in several respects?
A69644	What?
A69644	When he had prayed for the People, and had said, O Lord God, forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Iacob arise, for he is small?
A69644	When is that Time and Season, wherein the people of the Lord are called to suffer?
A69644	When shall the day dawn, when God shall loose this Yoke from off my neck?
A69644	When they consider, how others are spared, and they so sharply exercised, their hearts are ready to say, why doth the Lord deal so with me?
A69644	When was this?
A69644	Where the the same verbe is used Why dost thou strive against him?
A69644	Where then shall His Enemies stand, in the day of His Indignation?
A69644	Wherefore hast thou so evil intreated this People?
A69644	Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?
A69644	Wherefore hidest thou thy face?
A69644	Wherein should it appear, that He were Jehovah, if, in all things, he should work according to the thoughts and imaginations of men?
A69644	Whether against a Nation, or a Man only?
A69644	Whither could they go for consolation, in the day of their Distress and Anguish?
A69644	Who can say unto him, what dost thou?
A69644	Who can see thorow such a Dispensation, as this?
A69644	Who shall then say, wherefore hast thou done so?
A69644	Why doth He single me out from others,& deal worse with me, than with them?
A69644	Why doth my heart then so much stand out against this?
A69644	Why else will we think to reprove Him, and amend what He hath done, as if it were amisse?
A69644	Why hidest thou thy face from me?
A69644	Why is it that thou hast sent me?
A69644	Why should I not rather embrace it with love, and give it an heartsome welcome?
A69644	Why should I quarrel upon that account?
A69644	Why then am I so little in love with suffering for the sake of Christ?
A69644	Why then do they speak so confidently?
A69644	Why then dost thou quarrel with Him, or disputest against Him?
A69644	Why then should they be so impatient under their light and easie Yoke?
A69644	Why then should we account that an age, which the Lord calleth but a moment?
A69644	Will not this appear by an impartial view of the Instances adduced?
A69644	Will not this year put an end to our trouble?
A69644	Will the Lord cast off for ever?
A69644	Wo unto him that saith to his Father, what begettest thou?
A69644	Would He suffer His Name and Work to be thus blasphemed?
A69644	Would the Lord stand by and look on, when His spouse( if she were so indeed) is thus abused by the vilest of men?
A69644	Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, have we not taken to ourselves horns by our own strength?
A69644	Yea, when Pilat said unto Him, hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?
A69644	and how did Trouble follow Him to His grave?
A69644	because I see not, how He can bring about my everlasting advantage hereby?

A04391	Nay, is it so, that thy death, and so the death of euery childe of GOD, is not onely fore- seene but fore- appointed of God?
A04391	Nay, is there not onus; as well as hono ●; a labour, as well as an honour in euery Calling?
A04391	Nay, to come nearer home: where are all our English Kings, that haue awfully swayed the Brittaine Scepter since the Conquest?
A04391	Ninthly, is not God very mercifull to many that dye of the Plague, that haue their senses and memories, till the last houre?
A04391	Nobilitie, what is it but an opinion, or lot of birth, being our Ancestors not ours, also oft vvrongfully acquired by oppression and crueltie?
A04391	Nonne fragiliores sumus, quam si v ● trei essem ● s?
A04391	Now apply this to thine owne particular: art not thou a Christian, so denominated of CHRIST?
A04391	Now canst thou finde in thy heart to entertaine and retaine that sin in thy soule, which hath killed all the Kings in Christendome?
A04391	Now consider with thy selfe, hath God a bottle for the teares of his Seruants?
A04391	Now if he doe this by a woman, why may hee not?
A04391	Now in these successiue ages, what is the latter alwayes saue the death of the former, as both Inchinus and Seneca haue wittily noted?
A04391	Now thou Nabal, thou foole, thou stony heart, what profit wilt thou haue in crying Lord, Lord?
A04391	Now where is the turning from sinne in such repenters?
A04391	Now, are any Parents sorie, when their Children, of Bond men, are infranchized; of Prentises, are made Freemen?
A04391	Now, how much is thy case better then theirs?
A04391	Now, what delight hath the beast, but in fayre feeding, and carnall companying, according to his kinde?
A04391	Now, what great harme is there in going to our friends?
A04391	Now, what mother grieues that her vnquiet childe sleepes and takes the rest?
A04391	Now, who is able to promote, if God doe not?
A04391	O Graue, where is thy victories?
A04391	Of Enuy, which frets the heart as the Moath the Garment, and eates into it, as the rust into the Iron?
A04391	Oh Atheisticall Sots, is there not a God in Israel?
A04391	Oh Death, how bitter art thou to a man whose portion is in the world?
A04391	Oh Iudah, how shall I intreate thee?
A04391	Oh how few number their dayes that they may apply their hearts vnto wisedome?
A04391	Oh how soone fruit perisheth?
A04391	Oh then how had euen the very Childe neede to prepare for his finall departure, since one part of his life is dead already, his Infancie?
A04391	Oh then, why shouldest thou feare thy freedome?
A04391	Peccatum omnes maiores tuos occidit,& tu fouis?
A04391	Qui se pascunt, non oues; that feede themselues of the flocke, but not the flocke, ouer which the holy Ghost hath made them Ouer- seers?
A04391	Quid superbis puluis& cinis?
A04391	Seauen times a day, with Dauid?
A04391	Seauenthly, did not Dauid desire this kinde of death, rather then eyther Famine or Warre?
A04391	Secondly, for the Magistrates: what are the aymes and ends of most of them?
A04391	Secondly, is life so laborious?
A04391	Secondly, is the Soule immortall and the Body mortall?
A04391	Secondly, suppose thou shouldest get help, it is by the Diuels meanes, and who vvould goe to such a filthy Physitian?
A04391	Secondly, was not Enoch translated that he should not see death?
A04391	Shall it grieue vs to returne to God?
A04391	Shall wee then with our light feare that, which they in their darknesse so little regarded?
A04391	Si in Ierusalem scrutinium, quid faciet Babilon?
A04391	Sin( saith one) hath slaine all thy Predecessors, and Ancestors, and wilt thou make much of it?
A04391	Sixtly, Lazarus dying was carryed into Abrahams bosome: what was carryed?
A04391	Sixtly, is it not a disease, though sharpe, yet short, and more tollerable then the Stone, Dropsie, Gout, Palsie, or the French disease?
A04391	The Swan is said to sing most sweetly when shee must die, and shall Gods Children weepe?
A04391	The diseases of the body?
A04391	The first is this: is it so that the Seruants of the Lord doe dye in peace?
A04391	The practise of the world is against both these rules: for alas, are there not many whose malice is( like coales of Iuniper) vnquenchable?
A04391	The vnchaste Eye that lusts after a woman, the window that lets lusts into the soule, were it not better pluckt out?
A04391	Then, if Iewes and Pagans mourne; why not Christians?
A04391	Therefore apply Dauids meditation, as balme to thine owne sore, in thy feares: and say to thy soule, Why art thou sad oh my Soule?
A04391	Therefore storme not, murmure not, hee hath sent it, and who hath resisted his will?
A04391	Thirdly, it curbes pride: Quid superbis puluis& cinis?
A04391	Thirdly, man is desirous of immortalitie: Now, how could hee desire it, and discusse of it?
A04391	Those whose feete are ready to shed bloud, swift to euill( as Hazael) speedy to runne to sinne; how good were it for them to be lame?
A04391	Those whose voyces commanded the Nations, are they now able to speake?
A04391	To discharge those dueties that the Word inioynes them?
A04391	Vertues, vices, pleasures, profits, riches, pouertie, vvanton youth, couetous old age, all haue their burthens?
A04391	Vse 1 Art thou a Minister?
A04391	Vse 2 Secondly, is it so, that death is by the permission of God?
A04391	Was there any peace to Absolon, though a Sonne, when hee was a Traytor against his Father?
A04391	Well, and yet thou thinkest to be saued: But vpon what grounds?
A04391	Were Abraham, Isacc, and Iacob; holy men, or holy women, euer vnwilling?
A04391	What a folly is it for a man to set his heart vpon a strange woman, in a strange Country, whose face it is likely hee shall neuer see more?
A04391	What are the desires of such who sees not?
A04391	What bloody bickerings hast thou had with thine owne rebellious heart?
A04391	What burnings hast thou had from thine owne boyling concupiscence within, and from Sathans fiery darts without?
A04391	What callings without their crosses, from the Scepter to the Sheepe- hooke?
A04391	What ciuill broyles betwixt Grace and Nature, two armed Champions, strugling within thee, like Iacob and Esau in Rebeccahs wombe?
A04391	What day sets ouer our head without his euill, eyther of Sinne or Punishment?
A04391	What desert is there in thee to pleade sparing more then in them?
A04391	What did Moses desire more then the fruition of Canaan, the promised Land?
A04391	What euill?
A04391	What hast thou to doe with peace, since thou wantest Grace, the inseparable companion of Peace?
A04391	What hast thou to doe with peace, whilst the whoredomes of thy Mother Iezabel, and her witchcrafts are great in number?
A04391	What haue wee sauing the Images of moe then an hundred famous Emperours of the East and West, Christian and Heathen?
A04391	What is Childe- hood but the abolition and death of Infancie?
A04391	What is Life, and the best things in life, with which her Amorettoes and Idolatrous Adorers are so delighted?
A04391	What is one piece of dust, of sand, of slime, better then another?
A04391	What is the Beautie of the body but a well coloured skinne, farre inferiour to the beauties of the Sunne and Moone, these heauenly bodies?
A04391	What is this but to fall downe and worship the Diuell, to sacrifice to him with the poore Virginians, and the Heathenish Sauages?
A04391	What neede I mention Dauid, that was almost famished, till hee ate the Shew- bread?
A04391	What oppositions hast thou had with Luxurie, when Couetousnesse hath beene conquered?
A04391	What peace?
A04391	What shall I say more?
A04391	What shall I say more?
A04391	What their deserts who knowes not?
A04391	What times, morning, euening, day, or night?
A04391	When didst thou take vp Dauids course, in washing thy Couch with teares, and thy bed with weeping?
A04391	When thou omittest, neglectest, despitest, or despisest this whole Seruice of God, how shall the Lord be pleased with thee?
A04391	Where are the two Conquering couragious Williams, our three Richards, our sixe Edwards, our eight Henries?
A04391	Wherefore is the liuing man sorrowfull?
A04391	Who could not be content to be free from the smell, stinckes, and infection of them?
A04391	Who in seruing of man seekes directly and immediately to serue God and not rather himselfe?
A04391	Who in their traffique and commerce with men ayme at GOD, at the profit and emollument of others, and not wholy, or for the most part, at themselues?
A04391	Who prayes not with Samuel, for a sinfull people?
A04391	Who seekes grace and godlinesse, and not gaine?
A04391	Whose soule is not wounded with the sinnes of the times, that breake out in such abundance?
A04391	Why art thou proud, dust and ashes?
A04391	Why may not they liue as ill as hee did, and yet deferre their repentance till the last, and be saued as hee was?
A04391	Why should the Tenant at will, stand out with his Land- lord for an old rotten Cottage, when he would remoue him to a better Mansion?
A04391	Why so?
A04391	Why then shouldest thou feare?
A04391	Will any Generall admit of a lame Souldier past seruice, that hath serued all his life against him, in his enemies Campe?
A04391	Will he endure his Sanctuary to be polluted; his Temple abused, the holy Vessels profaned?
A04391	Would not Anti ● chus Epiphanes had mercy, when notwithstanding his expired life ended in miserie?
A04391	Would not the foolish Virgins haue entered the Bridegroomes Chamber, when it was past time, but were excluded?
A04391	Yet alas, for all this who thinkes of death?
A04391	Yet for all this which hath beene said, the Theefe on the Crosse stickes much on the stomackes of many?
A04391	after Bethell?
A04391	alwayes plotting and contriuing the ruine and destruction of thy better part, thy Soule?
A04391	an auersion from sinne, which is his Terminus à quo: a conuersion to God, Terminus ad quem?
A04391	and art thou scrupulous and timerous of a naturall and an ordinary passage from life to life through this dead Sea?
A04391	and canst thou leaue greater and grosser, more pleasing and more profitable sins when thou wilst?
A04391	and canst thou leaue these that haue nearer allyance with thee, and stand thee in more stead?
A04391	and doth he not now thinkest thou behold thy trouble?
A04391	and doth their euerlasting weale or woe, blisse or bane, depend vpon thy good or euill life here?
A04391	and to whom is the rednesse of eyes?
A04391	and what an argument to make vs willing to dye, being assured of this as weare?
A04391	and why art thou so disquieted within mee?
A04391	and will we not beleeue him?
A04391	and yet a Halter was all the comfort he got?
A04391	and, what if none visit the afflicted in this sort?
A04391	are not both Strength and Beautie the flowers of the body, which one blast of a Feauer will deface and shake all to fitters?
A04391	are our dayes so dolorous?
A04391	are with an obdurate and obstinate heart continued?
A04391	as for example, in particulars, ah si fas dicere?
A04391	authentique against Atheisme?
A04391	bruized by falling from his Horse, or the like?
A04391	chiefely that shee to whom hee is betroathed and wedded, should prostitute her selfe to his enemie?
A04391	doe they liue, or desire to liue that by their meanes their housholds might be the households of Faith?
A04391	dost thou thinke the custome of sinne is so soone left?
A04391	dost thou walke on Ice, thou poysest euery foot- step ere thou set thy foote, ere thou venter thy body?
A04391	doth it not consume the moysture?
A04391	doth it not inflame the bloud, cause burning Feauers?
A04391	doth not strong drinkes ouer- heate the bloud?
A04391	dry vp that radicall humour which is the nurse and fountaine of life?
A04391	hast thou a charge committed to thee?
A04391	hast thou done this?
A04391	hast thou turned away thine eare from hearing the Law?
A04391	hour many are seemingly and hypocritically thankefull for outward things?
A04391	how dammed vp the streame of inordinate passions?
A04391	how fearefull?
A04391	how hath Ambition lift vp his head, when Lust hath beene bet downe with the Hammer of Mortification?
A04391	how hath Pride puft vp, Wrath inflamed, Enuy gnawed thy distracted and distempered heart?
A04391	how hath it brideled thy Anger?
A04391	how hath it pulled downe the head of Pride?
A04391	how hath it quenched in thee the fire of Lust?
A04391	how many in doing nothing, or doing euill, or as good as nothing?
A04391	how many?
A04391	how oft I say with such a qualified Prayer, hast thou approached the Throne of Grace?
A04391	how oft with such Incense hast thou visited the Lords Altar?
A04391	how restrayned thy Malice?
A04391	how strange?
A04391	how the youth, that hath three parts dead in him, and but foure to liue?
A04391	how the youthfull Ephebus, that hath two parts dead, and but fiue at furthest to liue?
A04391	how were their doctrine and doings misconceiued?
A04391	if our Master, then where is his seruice?
A04391	is any man so impudent that dare vse them publikely for shame?
A04391	is it Gods glory?
A04391	is not Custome another Nature?
A04391	is not rest comfortable to a iournying foot- man; to a trauelling pilgrime, or a drudging labourer?
A04391	knocked at the gate of Grace, for graces to be giuen, sinnes forgiuen?
A04391	mourning like a Doue in the Desart, and a Pellican in the Wildernesse, for thy transgressions and enormities?
A04391	nay none in many dayes, vvill thy heart tell thee, if it continue not still hypocriticall, deceiuing thee as Sathan hath deceiued it?
A04391	nay, once?
A04391	nay, three times with Daniel?
A04391	of head- strong, lustfull, luxurious, couetous, and carnall affections?
A04391	oh hast thou so little delight in him, so little desire towards him?
A04391	oh how should vvee auoid many snares of Sathan, that preuailes ouer vs, euen by our securitie in this kinde?
A04391	oh then, canst thou dust and ashes, be opposed on earth against the mightie Iehouah, the God of heauen?
A04391	or hast thou refused to heare what thou shouldest haue heard?
A04391	or his care heauy, that hee will not heare?
A04391	or what is any thing in life worthy our liking and affections?
A04391	or whom?
A04391	put vp thy petitions to heauen?
A04391	saith Bernard; Oh, how can dust and ashes be proud?
A04391	saith Cyprian in his Sermon vpon death, Who will not hasten to exchange for the better?
A04391	sing: but what?
A04391	smit with Leprosie?
A04391	so small liking of him, so little loue to him?
A04391	that euery fit in thy sickenesse; nay, the very pangs of death are particulerly set downe in the counsell of God?
A04391	that he should be pleased with thy lees and dregs, when thou hast giuen the best wine of thy bloud to the Diuell?
A04391	that he should receiue the euening Sacrifice, when Mammon, or Lust, hath had the morning?
A04391	that scumme away the fat, but pollute the the Sacrifice, like Elie''s Sonnes?
A04391	that seeke sua, non suos, their owne gaines, not the peoples good?
A04391	that their bodies were mortall, their soules immortall?
A04391	that their strangers within their gates, vvith them might enter in at the Gates of Sion?
A04391	that there is a Heauen for the godly a Hell for the vvicked; but no Purgatory passage to eyther the one place or other, for eyther sort?
A04391	that thou list not step ouer the narrow bridge of this life, to meete him, to greete him, and to inioy him?
A04391	that''s well: but dost thou pray for, with, and amongst thy family, in thine owne house, as did Abraham, Ioshuah; and the faithfull in their dayes?
A04391	the actions of the body, the actions of the minde, the operations of the soule and spirit laborious?
A04391	the good temporall and eternall of those that are vnder them?
A04391	their Children Gods Children, and Heyres of of Grace?
A04391	their Kinsemen, of the spirituall affinitie and consanguinitie of Christ?
A04391	their Seruants Gods Seruants, the Lords Free- men?
A04391	their liues and learnings questioned and censured?
A04391	their wiues Christs Spouses?
A04391	their workes and writings wrested and misse- interpreted?
A04391	they know to the contrary: and thinke they that a good death will grow of a bad life?
A04391	thinke how you would like that at mans hands to keepe your pledge?
A04391	thy bleared Leah- like eyes, that thy teares haue made, being occasionedly distilled from the Limbecke of a sorrowfull soule for thy sinnes?
A04391	thy last M ● spez, where like a true Israelite thou didst poure downe water before the Lord?
A04391	to be fixed in this vnion?
A04391	to come and worship in the holy Temple?
A04391	to enter into life?
A04391	to goe to the Marriage of the Lambe?
A04391	to haue the Spirit goe from whence it came?
A04391	to take possession and keepe habitation by his eldest Sonne, Sinne?
A04391	to walke with God?
A04391	to whom are wounds?
A04391	to whom is murmuring?
A04391	to whom is sorrow?
A04391	to whom is strife?
A04391	vvhere is the furrowes and wrinckles in thy face?
A04391	vvho hath giuen thee a Lease of thy life till thou beest old?
A04391	what Adolescencie but the death of Childe hood?
A04391	what art thou but dust?
A04391	what ayme they at, but like Swine to feede?
A04391	what is the crosse?
A04391	what preiudice is that to the bodies resurrection, or soules saluation?
A04391	what sexe without his sorrow?
A04391	where is their Dauids delight in the Law and Statutes of God?
A04391	where is their longing after the Congregations and Assemblies of the Saints?
A04391	where is their soules sickenesse after the house of God?
A04391	where was thy last Bochim, place of weeping?
A04391	which those worthy Lights, Moses, Phineas, Ioshuah, Samuel, Nehemiah, Salomon, haue by their president and practise laid before them?
A04391	whilst the pollutions of that whorish Iezabel, thy vncleane soule, are daily increased?
A04391	who can but mourne with the holy Saints in former times, for all the abhominations of the Citie?
A04391	who can number them; when daily happen new, that the Physitian knoweth not?
A04391	who cryes not, Woe is me( with Dauid) that is constrained to liue here in Meseck, and to dwell in the tents of Kedar?
A04391	who feares not?
A04391	who shall deliuer mee from this body of sinne?
A04391	who vnlesse a Myrmidon, or hewen out of Caucasus( as was once fained) can temper from teares?
A04391	why should the Souldier be refractorie to leaue his station and place, to be otherwaies disposed of by his Generall and Commander?
A04391	why then should we shrinke more at the one then at the other?
A04391	will he take the refuse, and offals, and leauings of Sinne?
A04391	will hee pledge Sathan in such a cup?
A04391	wounded, or slaine by his enemie?
A04391	yet how was hee vpbrayded, scandalized and slandered, his Commission from God contradicted?
