| A59850 | How long time will they take to teach a Countryman, who is not Book- learn''d, what a Symbolical Ceremony is? |
| A59850 | How many Children have never been taught any other Catechism, than some flattering Complements, modish Oaths, and obscene talk? |
| A59850 | How many have been instructed in prophane and impious Jests, and all the topicks of irreligious Wit? |
| A59850 | How often do many men vary in their opinions of Preachers, and change their Churches, as their fancy changes? |
| A59850 | Is it not a fit season for the applications of the Physician, when the Patient is dangerously sick of a mortal distemper? |
| A59850 | Is it not a kind of renouncing our Covenant, when we refuse to own it by such publick solemnities, as he himself has appointed for that purpose? |
| A59850 | Is it not a mighty affront to God, when he invites us to his Table, as those who are in Covenant with him, to live in so great a neglect of it? |
| A59850 | No difference between signing Children with the sign of the Cross, and dedicating them to an Idol, or false God? |
| A59850 | No difference between wearing a Surplice, and falling down to a Stock or Stone? |
| A59850 | Now what use could there be for publick Ministers, unless publick Worship were a great and necessary Duty? |
| A59850 | Now, how few are there of our Separatists, who understand any thing of this talk? |
| A59850 | Or what shall a Man give in exchange for his Soul? |
| A59850 | Secondly; Another Question I would propose to these Men, is, Whether they ever seriously consider the hainous nature of Schism? |
| A59850 | So well might our Saviour ask that Question, What shall it profit a Man to gain the whole World, and to lose his own Soul? |
| A59850 | Thus God argues, A Son honoureth his Father, and a Servant his Master: If then I be a Father, where is my Honour? |
| A59850 | Very right; but not to dispute the particular meaning of that place, is not this true also of him, that hears or prayes unworthily? |
| A59850 | Wast thou ever Baptized? |
| A59850 | What can be more foolish, than to undermine our own Interest, to lay Trains of Misery for our selves, and to forfeit our present and future Happiness? |
| A59850 | When you come to appear before me; Who hath required this at your hands, to tread my Courts? |
| A59850 | Whether they Pollute the Communicants, and make Communion unlawful? |
| A59850 | Whether they be only active or passive in it? |
| A59850 | Will a Father reject the Petitions of his Child, if as often as his Wants require, he uses the same Words, when he asks the same thing? |
| A59850 | a Covenant to which I owe all my hopes of Happiness, all the Good I now enjoy, and all that I expect? |
| A59850 | and art not thou afraid to deal falsely and treacherously with thy God? |
| A59850 | and how do they know that they have any reason themselves for what they do? |
| A59850 | and if I be a Master, where is my Fear? |
| A59850 | are there any Prayers to Saints or Angels, or the Virgin Mary? |
| A59850 | for whereas there is among you Envying, and Strife, and Divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as Men? |
| A59850 | for whereas there is among you envyings, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as Men? |
| A59850 | or to understand how our Ceremonies are transformed into Sacraments? |
| A59850 | or whether the Fault be theirs who enjoyn it? |
| A59850 | or, whether the Parents, who dislike such a Ceremony, sin in submitting their Children to it, in Obedience to their Superiors? |
| A59850 | the Bread which we break, is it not the Communion of the Body of Christ? |
| A59850 | to pull up Root and Branch; to pull up the Wheat with the Tares? |
| A59850 | whether the Child, who is signed with the sign of the Cross at Baptism, be ever the worse for it? |
| A59850 | who can dwell with everlasting Burnings? |
| A30585 | ''T is mercy that our lives have not gone many times for Gods Glory; How often might God have glorified Himself in taking away our lives? |
| A30585 | 1. what weariness is there? |
| A30585 | 17. where the holy Ghost saith, that God prepares the heart: And what then? |
| A30585 | 21. there the Apostle speaking of the Heathens; he doth rebuke them; For what? |
| A30585 | 5. we find that Solomon when he was preparing for the Temple, he would build a great Temple, why? |
| A30585 | Am I worse than the Devils themselves? |
| A30585 | And by drawing nigh to God often, you will come to encrease your graces abundantly: your graces, how wil they act? |
| A30585 | And is God a holy God? |
| A30585 | And is it but this? |
| A30585 | And is not this a dreadfull thing then, to be guilty of not sanctifying of Gods Name? |
| A30585 | And then, what safety is there in being neer to God, especially in these dangerous times? |
| A30585 | And this can not be schism thus to do; As now if this schism? |
| A30585 | And what do you do when you Worship God? |
| A30585 | As Moses should say in Gods Name, I must, and will have glory from the people, And how? |
| A30585 | As if Moses should have said, Why do you contend for any more Honor, the Lord hath separated you, to bring you neer to himself? |
| A30585 | Because God is an Eternal God? |
| A30585 | Bring strange fire into Gods Service, What''s that? |
| A30585 | But Hezekiah prayed for them saying, The good Lord pardon every one; what, every one? |
| A30585 | But I have so many sins mixt with my prayers, how can I beleeve? |
| A30585 | But had God ever forbidden it? |
| A30585 | But hath God appointed that the great Ordinance for the converting and the edifying of souls in the way to eternal life? |
| A30585 | But then as for others that have made little or no conscience of sanctifying of Gods Name, how had they need be humbled? |
| A30585 | But then if you can answer thus, Thou O Lord didst require it: It is well: But then God hath another Question, Whose Image and Superscription is this? |
| A30585 | But then may a poor soul say, How shall I be able to stand before this God that is so glorious? |
| A30585 | But what is meant by an Honest Heart? |
| A30585 | But what is the meaning of the other, Say not, who shall ascend up into Heaven& c? |
| A30585 | But what saith it? |
| A30585 | But when the heart comes to it, in what manner should the duty be performed so as the Name of God may be sanctified in the duty? |
| A30585 | But where do we find that God spake this? |
| A30585 | But you will say, Is it not better for to be given into every ones hand? |
| A30585 | But you will say, Is it possible for any creature which comes to tender up its worship to God, to tender up that which is fit for a God to have? |
| A30585 | But you will say, May not an unregenerate man Pray? |
| A30585 | But you will say, What is the meaning of the plowing of our hearts for the preparation of the Word? |
| A30585 | Can there be too much to make thee happy? |
| A30585 | Consider, If thou doest not beleeve, what a case art thou in? |
| A30585 | Cursed be the deceiver which hath in his flock a male, and voweth and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing: why? |
| A30585 | Dare I venture my soul and my eternal estate upon hopes that these things are not so bad as I hear? |
| A30585 | Did Jesus Christ come into the world for that end for to cause thee to depart more from God? |
| A30585 | Do not we find in Scripture that the Church had alwaies wicked men among them? |
| A30585 | Do not we see that men will rather favor their own Kindred than strangers, though the offence be the same? |
| A30585 | Do you come peaceably say they? |
| A30585 | Do you get nothing else but this by hearing Sermons? |
| A30585 | Doest thou say, Her''s a great deal? |
| A30585 | From whence is it that thou art unfit, but from the temptation of the Devil? |
| A30585 | Further consider, God as he is an eternal God, what sutable disposition doth this require of me when I am to look upon God as an eternal Being? |
| A30585 | God, He is the living God: What behavior then doth beseem me towards this living God? |
| A30585 | How comes it to pass that these are apostatized thus from God? |
| A30585 | How doth it appear that the Nation of Israel is a greater Nation than other Nations are? |
| A30585 | How hath God glorified himself? |
| A30585 | How is that? |
| A30585 | How many live without God in the world, and do declare to all the world that they are not of God? |
| A30585 | How? |
| A30585 | I am now going to God; for what? |
| A30585 | I appeal to any gratious heart, What canst thou want of any of these, or what wouldest thou want? |
| A30585 | I appeal to you, have you had that freedom in prayer, afterwards? |
| A30585 | I beseech you now lay this text to your hearts, Do you prepare your hearts to seek God? |
| A30585 | I have written unto you yong men, you are yong, you have strong natures, and so strength of nature for God: But how comes this to pass? |
| A30585 | I must sanctifie Gods Name, and how can I do that, except my heart be sanctified? |
| A30585 | If any of you should say, How can we sanctifie Gods Name, we are poor and weak, we can do little? |
| A30585 | If so be that thou sawest a knife that had cut the throat of thy dearest child, would not thy heart rise against that knife? |
| A30585 | If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hand towards him:( What then?) |
| A30585 | If you ask me, wherein it differs? |
| A30585 | If you do neglect duty in the morning upon any business, are you fitter to perform duty at night because of it? |
| A30585 | If you had but the Invitations of the Spirit now, that sometimes you have had, how happy were it for you? |
| A30585 | In the Worship of God there be two Questions that He will ask, First, Who required this at your hands? |
| A30585 | Is it not a sweet thing to be in his presence? |
| A30585 | Is not this honor enough? |
| A30585 | Is there a word presented? |
| A30585 | Is this all? |
| A30585 | It seems then that it is not enough to receive it with gladness? |
| A30585 | It was but a howling upon their beds: And how so? |
| A30585 | It was the speech of Cain if thou beest of the same body, you are to have a care of your Brother; do not ye Judg those that are within? |
| A30585 | Know you not that a little leaven leaveneth the whol lump? |
| A30585 | Let us draw neer( saith the Text) Who would not draw neer to God? |
| A30585 | Mark how he speaks, But it is good for me: Why? |
| A30585 | Mark the phrase, You fasted in the fifth and seventh month, and for seventy yeers together, but saith the Lord, Did you at all fast unto me? |
| A30585 | Must the People of Israel manifest their holiness in this, That they must eat nothing torn by beasts, but cast it unto dogs? |
| A30585 | Ninthly, If thou doest not sanctifie Gods Name in the hearing of the word, what comfort canst thou ever have by the word in the day of affliction? |
| A30585 | Now concerning that I''le but propound these few particulars; You will say, Must we beleeve every thing that is spoken? |
| A30585 | Now if I should come from one end of the Congregation to the other, and ask every one of you this Question, It is your duty to Worship God, Is it not? |
| A30585 | Now if you ask me in what particulars doth the behavior of the soul consist that is very sutable to the greatness of God in the general? |
| A30585 | Now then you will say, What should be done in the hearing Gods Word, so as Gods Name may be Sanctified? |
| A30585 | Now what doth this call for? |
| A30585 | Now when is there a time for the acting of our graces upon God, so as when we come to worship God? |
| A30585 | Now you will say, How doth God appear, that he doth not accept of them? |
| A30585 | Now you will say, How should a Beleever sanctifie the Justice of God? |
| A30585 | Oh fear and tremble lest your condition be such as to be nigh to cursing: Who knows what a day, a week may bring forth? |
| A30585 | Oh now, the good Word of the Gospel, how should we prize it, and keep it in our hearts? |
| A30585 | Oh what a good thing is it to be in the presence of God: Is not the Lord the fountain of thy life? |
| A30585 | One would have thought that these Priests offering Incense to the true God, what hurt was there in taking other Fire? |
| A30585 | Or was the holiness of the People of Israel such, as God required them, that they must eat nothing that was torn by beasts? |
| A30585 | Saith he, Go ye into al the world and preach the Gospel to every creature, and he that beleeveth and is Baptized shall be saved? |
| A30585 | Secondly, Suppose we do not find our hearts prepared as we do desire; Whether it were better to leave off the duty than perform it? |
| A30585 | So, our coming nigh to God is such a priviledg as cost the Blood of Christ; And will not you improve it? |
| A30585 | Suppose it be one of your own family, wil not you be ready to excuse them? |
| A30585 | Take it; how shal we take it? |
| A30585 | That is, That you should come to worship him, Is this a small thing to you? |
| A30585 | The Cup of blessing which we bless, it is not the Communion of the blood of Christ? |
| A30585 | The First is, Whether we ought at all times to set apart some time for Preparation to every duty of Gods Worship? |
| A30585 | The Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: Thou art separated from the world, To what end? |
| A30585 | The Lord is terrible out of his holy places: When we have to deal with God, who can stand before this holy God? |
| A30585 | The Lord there did acknowledg that they were very much affected in their prayers, but what was it? |
| A30585 | The Saints of God, the Children of Israel, the Church of God are said to be a people neer to God; Why neer him? |
| A30585 | The bread which we break, is it not the Communion of the body of Christ? |
| A30585 | The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not Communion of the blood of Christ? |
| A30585 | The way to be assured that God will hear you, is by casting your selves upon God, how can you know that he will hear, but by resting upon him? |
| A30585 | Their parts act much before others, But what is there between God and their own souls? |
| A30585 | Then what sutable behavior doth become me? |
| A30585 | They have built a glorious Temple to God, but what do I regard that saith God? |
| A30585 | They were careful to offer their fattest beasts in their peace- offerings, and will not God regard them? |
| A30585 | Thinkest thou this O man that judgest them that do such things,& doest the same, that thou shalt escape the Judgment of God? |
| A30585 | This day if you should hear a voice out of the Clouds from Heaven speaking to you, would you not then listen? |
| A30585 | This is a strange Scripture: What, must a Prophet go to them to make their hearts fat, and to shut their eyes? |
| A30585 | Thou rejectest the Word, doest thou? |
| A30585 | To examine our selves of what? |
| A30585 | Trouble is neer many of you, perhaps there''s not a spans breadth between death and us, what a blessed thing is it then to have God to be neer us? |
| A30585 | We are bound to humble our selves before God, but here it is that he did not humble himself before Jeremiah the Prophet; Why before the Prophet? |
| A30585 | We know how it was with Adam, when God appeared in the Garden and called to him, he ran to hide himself; Why? |
| A30585 | Were they not struck with such fear that they thought they should die? |
| A30585 | What Nation is there so great as you are? |
| A30585 | What account had you been able to have given unto him? |
| A30585 | What did Mary choose? |
| A30585 | What do they come and draw neer me with their lips, and their hearts are far from me, and do they worship me in a formal way? |
| A30585 | What do you get this by going to Sermons? |
| A30585 | What doth a Father more delight in than to have his Children about him? |
| A30585 | What if we do not sanctifie Gods Name in this dutie? |
| A30585 | What is it then? |
| A30585 | What should a Child love most but to be in the presence of his Father? |
| A30585 | What then is the holiness of the infinite God? |
| A30585 | What was their sin? |
| A30585 | What would make you to attend to any thing? |
| A30585 | What''s the reason then that you sin so much with your bodies? |
| A30585 | What''s the reason why Heaven is said to be the presence of God, and why those that are in Heaven are said to live with God? |
| A30585 | What''s the reason why we wander so as we do, but meerly because we see not God? |
| A30585 | When ever thou art worshiping of God, do not satisfie thy self meerly in the duty done, but consider, Do I sanctifie Gods Name in the duty? |
| A30585 | When every toy, every feather, every light matter cals them off; Is this to Sanctifie Gods Name? |
| A30585 | When thou comest before God, Consider that thou comest to a merciful God: And what should this work? |
| A30585 | When thou comest to perform holy duties thou art troubled, Will the Lord have regard to such a duty as this is? |
| A30585 | When you go home, you must hold forth the power of the Word you hear: well, what wil become of that? |
| A30585 | Where do we find that ever God had forbidden them to offer strange Fire, or appointed that they should offer only one kind of Fire? |
| A30585 | Whether it be sinfull to pray for afflictions, as somtimes some will be ready to do? |
| A30585 | Whether it it be from the general Bounty and Patience of God, or from the special love of God in Jesus Christ? |
| A30585 | Who shall go down into the deep? |
| A30585 | Who shall go down to Hell to know there, whether that place be prepared for him or no? |
| A30585 | Why, canst thou make good the former, and appeal to God, that indeed it was thy care to make preparation? |
| A30585 | Why, did they not fear the Lord? |
| A30585 | Why, in what respects may a man be said to draw nigh to God when he Worships him? |
| A30585 | Why, is not God in every place? |
| A30585 | Why? |
| A30585 | Will God accept of a duty when I perform it, and am not set for it? |
| A30585 | Would you know whether you have received the Spirit of aboption yea or no? |
| A30585 | Yes, what then? |
| A30585 | You may ask me this Question, How may I know that I am acted by self- ends in holy Duties? |
| A30585 | You wil say, If a man have business in the world, how can this be? |
| A30585 | You wil say, Must it be received in a Communion of Saints? |
| A30585 | You will say, Are we bound to spend some time every time we go to prayer beforehand, or every time we come to the Word? |
| A30585 | You will say, Can any thing that is good come from the Devil? |
| A30585 | You will say, Can not we sit at home and reade a Sermon? |
| A30585 | You will say, God forbid: Have not I prayed, and heard the Word much, and received the Communion often, and yet have I never honored God? |
| A30585 | You will say, Here is a great deal of do in serving of God, how much is here that we must do? |
| A30585 | You will say, If God understand a mans heart, what need he come and confess? |
| A30585 | You will say, Must we plow up our hearts before we come to hear? |
| A30585 | You will say, Why is not the Word of the Law as nigh one as the Word of the Gospel? |
| A30585 | You will say, Why may not any time be said to be holy that I spend in holy duties? |
| A30585 | and in hearing the Word; and so likewise for receiving the Sacrament? |
| A30585 | and then mark how he doubled it, To me? |
| A30585 | and yet what a poor appearance is there of such people at the hearing of the Word? |
| A30585 | even unto me? |
| A30585 | even unto me? |
| A30585 | hath he Body and Blood, and human Nature upon him? |
| A30585 | have you actually renewed your covenant with God? |
| A30585 | how hath God honored humane Nature? |
| A30585 | is not Gods Name prophaned here? |
| A30585 | it was from hence, because he was so nigh to God: Would you have your faces to shine in a holy conversation before men? |
| A30585 | or what is the behavior of the soul in the sanctifying of Gods Name when it is in the very act of the duty? |
| A30585 | shall I give any occasion that this Word of the Lord should be spoken ill of by reason of me? |
| A30585 | sometimes there are some things spoken that we can not tell how to beleeve? |
| A30585 | that is, the Heathens and those that are in no communion with them, I have nothing to do to judg them; but do not ye judg them that are within? |
| A30585 | that you abbuse your body with uncleanness, and drunkenness, and other wickedness afterwards? |
| A30585 | the Lord is nigh unto all, to all that call upon him in truth; you will say, What is the meaning of that? |
| A30585 | the bread which we break, is it not the Communion of the Body of Christ? |
| A30585 | then me thought I could have gone through fire and water for God? |
| A30585 | thou hast ability in expressing of thy self in prayer: why, do thy parts commend thee to God? |
| A30585 | were the Word true yea, or no? |
| A30585 | what can I do? |
| A30585 | what do you go for? |
| A30585 | what fellowship hath Christ with Belial? |
| A30585 | what friends would you make to take him off from punishment? |
| A30585 | what if I were now going to receive the sentence of my eternal doom; Would I not then beleeve these things? |
| A30585 | what if wicked men do come there, will that hinder us from sanctifying Gods Name in partaking of the Sacrament with them? |
| A30585 | when ye go to prayr, Can you say that you take pains in preparing your hearts for it? |
| A30585 | whether he will accept of me, and of that obedience and worship that I tender up to him? |
| A30585 | who is the man, or where is he that will do this? |
| A30585 | will you not speak when you see the Fire kindling? |
| A30585 | would I not then think what I hear out of the Word to be true? |
| A30585 | would you give belief unto the suggestions of the Devil then? |
| A30585 | you that have taken the body of Christ, have you given up your body to Christ? |
| A30585 | you will not find it to be so: The forbearing a duty now, will not make the soul fitter for a duty afterwards? |
| A77988 | ( So great) How doth it appear that the Nation of Israel is a greater Nation then other Nations are? |
| A77988 | 1. what wearinesse is there? |
| A77988 | 10 When thou comest before God, Consider that thou comest to a mercifull God: And what should this work? |
| A77988 | 18. the Lord is nigh unto all, to all that call upon him in truth; you will say what is the meaning of that? |
| A77988 | 21. there the Apostle speaking of the Heathens; he doth rebuke them; For what? |
| A77988 | 3 Thou mayest know it by this, wherein doest thou account the excellency of a duty to consist, either in thy self or others? |
| A77988 | 3 When ever thou art worshipping of God, do not satisfie thy self meerly in the duty done, but consider, do I sanctifie Gods Name in the duty? |
| A77988 | 4 Consider, If thou doest not beleeve, what a case art thou in? |
| A77988 | 5. we find that Solomon when he was preparing for the Temple, he would build a great Temple, why? |
| A77988 | 6. know you not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? |
| A77988 | Am I worse then the Devils themselves? |
| A77988 | And Herod it is said of him, That he heard John Baptist gladly: It seems then that it is not enough to receive it with gladnesse? |
| A77988 | And is God a holy God? |
| A77988 | And is it but this? |
| A77988 | And is not this a dreadfull thing then, to be guilty of not sanctifying of Gods Name? |
| A77988 | And then faith is as the mouth; when thou commest to eat and drinke, how canst thou if thou hast not a mouth? |
| A77988 | And then what safety is there in being neer to God, especially in these dangerous times? |
| A77988 | And this can not be Schisme thus to do; as now is this Schisme? |
| A77988 | And what do you do when you Worship God? |
| A77988 | As if Moses should have said, Why do you contend for any more honour, the Lord hath separated you to bring you neer to himsef? |
| A77988 | As if Moses should say in Gods name, Why, I must have glory from the people, and how? |
| A77988 | Because God is an Eternal God? |
| A77988 | Bring strange fire into Gods service, What''s that? |
| A77988 | But Hezekiah prayed for them saying, The good Lord pardon every one, what every one? |
| A77988 | But I have so many sins mixt with my prayers, how can I beleeve? |
| A77988 | But had God ever forbidden it? |
| A77988 | But hath God appointed that the great ordinance for the converting and the edifying of soules in the way to eternal life? |
| A77988 | But if you were to die, and upon your sick and death bed if you saw the infinite ocean of eternity before you, what would you say then? |
| A77988 | But now when we find not that coming in that we do desire, we begin to be weary of worship; and say, Why have we fasted, and thou seest it not? |
| A77988 | But what is meant by an honest heart? |
| A77988 | But what saith it? |
| A77988 | But where do we find that God spake this? |
| A77988 | But you wil say, is it possible for any creature when it comes to tender up it''s worship to God, to tender up that which is fit for a God to have? |
| A77988 | But you will say, May not an unregenerate man Pray? |
| A77988 | But you will say, is it not better for it to be given into every ones hand? |
| A77988 | Can not we sit at home and read a Sermon? |
| A77988 | Can there be too much to make thee happy? |
| A77988 | Christ would have all his people look to the edification of their soules; and should I account that Schisme? |
| A77988 | Dare I venture my Soul and my eternal estate upon hopes that these things are not so bad as I hear? |
| A77988 | Did Jesus Christ come into the world to that end for to cause thee to depart more from God? |
| A77988 | Do you get nothing else but this by hearing Sermons? |
| A77988 | Doe not we see that men will rather favour their owne kindred then strangers, though the offence be the same? |

| A77988 | Fourthly, It s a Sacrament of Communion with God, and Communion with the Saints; now what Communion hath Light and Darknesse? |

| A77988 | God he is the living God: What behaviour then doth beseeme me towards this living God? |
| A77988 | Have you done thus when you have come to receive the Sacrament? |
| A77988 | Hear( saith the holy Ghost there) for the time to come? |
| A77988 | How comes it to passe that these are Apostatised thus from God? |
| A77988 | How hath God glorified himselfe? |
| A77988 | How is that? |
| A77988 | How many live without God in the world, and do declare to all the world that they are not of God? |
| A77988 | How terrible is the presence of God in his Ordinances then? |
| A77988 | I am now going to God; for what? |
| A77988 | I am to worship God, but how is my heart insnared and intangled in this and the other businesse? |
| A77988 | I appeal to any gracious heart, what canst thou want of any of these, or what wouldest thou want? |
| A77988 | I appeal to you, have you had that freedome in prayer, afterwards? |
| A77988 | I beseech you now lay this text to your hearts do you prepare your hearts to seek God? |
| A77988 | I beseech you observe it it is not enough that a thing is not forbidden, and what hurt is there in it? |
| A77988 | I have read of one Martyr, that when he was to die, and the fire a kindling, saith an Officer, What will not you speak when you see the fire kindling? |
| A77988 | I have written to you young men, you are youug, you have strong natures, and so strength of nature for God, But how comes this to passe? |
| A77988 | I must Sanctifie Gods Name, and how can I do that, except my heart be Sanctified? |
| A77988 | If it be appointed to nourish and increase grace, then surely there must be grace before; what nourishment can a dead child take? |
| A77988 | If so be that thou sawest a knife that had cut the throat of thy dearest child, would not thy heart rise against that knife? |
| A77988 | If thou prepare thine heart, and siretch out thine hand towards him: What then? |
| A77988 | If you ask me wherein it differs? |
| A77988 | If you do neglect duty in the morning upon any businesse, are you fitter to perform duty at night because of it? |
| A77988 | If you had but the Invitations of the Spirit now that sometimes you have had, how happy were it for you? |
| A77988 | In the Worship of God there be Two Questions that he will ask; First, Who required this at your hands? |
| A77988 | Is it not a sweet thing to be in his presence? |
| A77988 | Is not the Lord the fountain of thy life? |
| A77988 | Is there a word presented? |
| A77988 | Is this all? |
| A77988 | It is a wicked thing to use curses; but it s a most wicked thing to wish evill to others in a way of prayer; yet how many doe so? |
| A77988 | Let us draw neer( saith the Text) Who would not draw neer to God? |
| A77988 | Mark how he speaks, But it is good for me: Why? |
| A77988 | Mark the phrase you fasted in the fifth and seventh month, and for seventy years together, but saith the Lord, Did you at all fast unto me? |
| A77988 | Neer him, Why, in what respects may a man be said to draw nigh to God when he Worships him? |
| A77988 | Now concerning that I le but propound these few particulars; You will say, Must we beleeve every thing that is spoken? |
| A77988 | Now if I should come from one end of the Congregation to the other, and ask every one of you this Question, It is your duty to Worship God, is it not? |
| A77988 | Now if you ask me in what particulars doth the behaviour of the Soul consist that is very suitable to the greatnesse of God in the generall? |
| A77988 | Now is the presence of God in the very faces of his Saints terrible to a guilty conscience? |
| A77988 | Now what doth this call for? |
| A77988 | Now when is there a time for the acting of our graces upon God so as when we come to worship God? |
| A77988 | Now you will say, How doth God appear, that he doth not accept of them? |
| A77988 | Now you will say, How should a beleever Sanctifie the Justice of God? |
| A77988 | Oh fear and tremble lest your condition be such as to be nigh to cursing: Who knows what a day, a week may bring forth? |
| A77988 | Oh now the good word of the Gospel how should we prize it, and keep it in our hearts? |
| A77988 | One would have thought that these Preists offering Incense to the true God, what hurt was there in taking other Fire? |
| A77988 | Or was the holinesse of the people of Israel such as God required them, that they must eate nothing that was torne by beasts? |
| A77988 | Secondly suppose we do not find our hearts prepared as we do desire; whither it were better to leave off the duty then performe it? |
| A77988 | Suppose it be one of your own family, will not you be ready to excuse them? |
| A77988 | That is, That you should come to Worship him, is this a small thing to you? |
| A77988 | That saith, Who shall ascend into heaven to know the mind of God concerning me? |
| A77988 | The Cup of blessing which we blesse, is it not the Communion of the bloud of Christ? |
| A77988 | The Cup of blessing which wee blesse, is it not the Communion of the blood of Christ? |
| A77988 | The Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: Thou art separated from the world, to what end? |
| A77988 | The Lord is 〈 ◊ 〉 out of his holy places: When we have to deal with God, who can stand before this holy God? |
| A77988 | The Saints of God, the Children of Israel, the Church of God are said to be a people neer to God; Why neer him? |
| A77988 | The bread which we break, is it not the Communion of the body of Christ? |
| A77988 | The first is, whither we ought at all times to set apart some time for preparation to every duty of Gods Worship? |
| A77988 | The way to be assured that God will hear you, is by casting your selves upon God, how can you know that he will hear, but by resting upon him? |

| A77988 | Then what suitable behaviour doth become me? |
| A77988 | There were three thousand in one day that did gladly receive the word; What an auditory had Peter at this time? |
| A77988 | They were carefull to offer their fattest beasts in their peace offerings, and will not God regard them? |
| A77988 | Thinkest thou this O man that judgest them that do such things,& doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgement of God? |
| A77988 | This day if you should hear a voice out of the clouds from heaven speaking to you, would you not then listen? |
| A77988 | This you will say was spoken to the Priests? |
| A77988 | Thou rejectest the word, doest thou? |
| A77988 | To examine our selves of what? |
| A77988 | We know how it was with Adam, when God appeared in the garden and called to him, he ran to hide himself; Why? |
| A77988 | Were they not struck with such fear that they thought they should die? |
| A77988 | What Nation is there so great as you are? |
| A77988 | What did Mary choose? |
| A77988 | What do they come and draw neer me with their lips and their hearts are far from me, and do they worship me in a formall way? |
| A77988 | What doth a Father more delight in then to have his Children about him? |
| A77988 | What if I were now going to receive the sentence of my eternall doome; would I not then beleeve these things? |

| A77988 | What is it then? |
| A77988 | What should a Child love most but to be in the presence of his Father? |
| A77988 | What then is the holinesse of the infinite God? |
| A77988 | What was their Sinne? |
| A77988 | What would make you to attend to any thing? |
| A77988 | What''s the reason why heaven is said to be the presence of God, and why those that are in heaven are said to live with God? |
| A77988 | What''s the reason why we wander so as we do? |
| A77988 | When every toye, every feather, every light matter cals them off; Is this to Sanctifie Gods Name? |
| A77988 | When thou comest to perform holy duties thou art troubled, will the Lord have regard to such a duty as this is? |
| A77988 | Whether it be from the generall Bounty and Patience of God, or from the speciall ● oue of God in Jesus Christ? |
| A77988 | Who shall go down into the deep? |
| A77988 | Who shall go down to Hell to know there, whether that place be prepared for him or not? |
| A77988 | Why canst thou make good the former and appeal to God that indeed it was thy care to make preparation? |
| A77988 | Why is not God in every place? |
| A77988 | Why, did they not fear the Lord? |
| A77988 | Why? |
| A77988 | Why? |
| A77988 | Why? |

| A77988 | Would you know whither you have received the Spirit of adoption yea or no? |
| A77988 | Yes; what then? |
| A77988 | You may ask me this Question, How may I know that I am acted by self ends in holy duties? |

| A77988 | You will say if a man have businesse in the world how can this be? |
| A77988 | You will say, Are we bound to spend sometime every time we go to prayer before hand, or every time we come to the Word? |
| A77988 | You will say, Can any thing that is good come from the Devil? |
| A77988 | You will say, God forbid: Have not I prayed, and heard the word much, and received the Communion often, and yet have I never honoured God? |
| A77988 | You will say, God is an Infinite Glorious God? |
| A77988 | You will say, Here is a great deal of doe in serving of God, how much is here that we must do? |
| A77988 | You will say, If God understand a mans heart, what need he come and confesse? |
| A77988 | You will say, Must we plow up our hearts before we come to hear? |
| A77988 | You will say, Why may not any time be said to be holy that I spend in holy duties? |
| A77988 | You will say, must it be received in a communion of Saints? |
| A77988 | You will say, shall we be the worse for one wicked mans coming? |
| A77988 | and drunkennesse? |
| A77988 | and other wickednesse afterwards? |
| A77988 | and then mark how it is doubled, To me? |
| A77988 | but then may a poor Soul say, how shall I be able to stand before this God that is so glorious? |
| A77988 | canst thou say this in the uprightnesse of thy heart? |
| A77988 | doe not wee finde in Scripture that the Church had alwayes wicked men among them? |
| A77988 | even unto me? |
| A77988 | even unto me? |
| A77988 | for I am a great King saith the Lord, and therefore cursed is he that doth not offer a Sacrifice suitable to my Greatnesse? |
| A77988 | hath hee body and bloud and humane nature upon him? |
| A77988 | have you actually renewed your Covenant with God? |
| A77988 | how? |
| A77988 | is not Gods name prophaned here? |
| A77988 | is not this honour enough? |
| A77988 | it was from hence, because he was so nigh to God: would you have your faces to shine in a holy conversation before men? |
| A77988 | it was the speech of Cain; if thou beest of the same body, you are to have a care of your Brother; doe not yee judge those that are within? |
| A77988 | oh how hath God honoured humane nature? |
| A77988 | shall I give any occasion that this word of the Lord should be spoken ill of by reason of me? |
| A77988 | sometimes there are some things spoken that we can not tell how to beleeve? |
| A77988 | that is, the Heathens, and those that were in no communion with them, I have nothing to do to judge them; but doe not yee judge them that are within? |
| A77988 | that you abuse your body with uncleannesse? |
| A77988 | the bread which wee break, is it not the Communion of the body of Christ? |
| A77988 | they have built a glorious Temple to God, but what do I regard that saith God? |
| A77988 | we are bound to humble our selves before God, but here it is that he did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet; Why before the prophet? |
| A77988 | were the word true yea or no? |
| A77988 | what friends would you make to take him off from punishment? |
| A77988 | what if wicked men doe come there? |
| A77988 | what''s the reason then that you sinne so much with your bodies? |
| A77988 | when the Lord in the preaching of his word did reveale Jesus Christ to thy soule, what didst thou then oh soule? |
| A77988 | when you go to prayer can you say that you take paines in preparing your hearts for it? |
| A77988 | where doe wee find that ever God had forbidden them to offer strange Fire, or appointed that they should offer onely one kind of fire? |
| A77988 | whether he will accept of me, and of that obedience and worship that I tender up to him? |
| A77988 | will not this hinder the spiritualnesse of my heart in Communion with God in prayer, when I come home at night? |
