A41668 | 31, 32, Why will ye die? |
A41668 | 4, 6 As also that ejaculatory Prayer of the penitent thief, Lordre member me when thou comest into thy Kingdom? |
A41668 | Ah Young Men, is your peace yet to be made with God? |
A41668 | Alas what is the richest Portion, the most exquisite Beauty, and the rarest parts, in comparison of a mind inobled with Grace and Ver ● … ue? |
A41668 | And how canst thou look to behold the face of the Lord Jesus with comfort, if thou bring not unto him thy Youth and strength? |
A41668 | And how canst thou think that thou hast a righteous Soul in thee, if thou take delight in uttering, or hearing filthy speeches? |
A41668 | And how many rich men who have had fair Revenues left them by their Fathers, have in a short time bezel''d all away by Drinking? |
A41668 | And how many, who though they have lived to old age, yet have been more hardened against Repentance, than in their Youth? |
A41668 | And how shameful that God, to whom thy whole life is due, should have only thy bran, and dreggs? |
A41668 | And if not, why dost thou not presently reform, and return to the Lord? |
A41668 | And if they be dead, will you not be afraid to meet them at the Tribunal of Jesus Christ, in an Unregenerate condition? |
A41668 | And if thou hast never so fair and hopeful a beginning, yet who knows what may be thy lot before the end of thy day? |
A41668 | And is the time allotted for these things both short and uncertain, and yet do ye squander it away in sports and pastimes? |
A41668 | And is this a priviledge to be so much desired, and laboured after, to descend with pomp into the pit? |
A41668 | And shall I need to use Arguments to perswade thee? |
A41668 | And to give up thy self to God, to devote thy self to his fear and service? |
A41668 | And we find that what he commanded, himself practised? |
A41668 | And what a Swine is this holy Soul become? |
A41668 | And what credit doth it procure, unless amongst such debauched ones, whose applause is a reproach? |
A41668 | And what if it should be so with thee? |
A41668 | And what sign is it in thee that lovest and associatest with the haters of the Brethren? |
A41668 | And what will it profit thee to save thy goods, and lose thy Soul? |
A41668 | And where is the understanding of a Drunkard? |
A41668 | And who knoweth but thou maist find the same effect of the Word upon thy soul, whilst thou art waiting upon it? |
A41668 | Are all these kind of Lyes sinful? |
A41668 | Are any of them addicted to Drunkenness, Lying, or Swearing? |
A41668 | Are they no company for thee, who are no friends to Godliness? |
A41668 | Are you death- proof, and hell- proof? |
A41668 | Art thou for profit? |
A41668 | Art thou reformed? |
A41668 | Art thou so in love with a carnal and earthly life, that thou wilt sell thy life to the Devil, rather than change thy course? |
A41668 | Art thou yet for thine old ways, and sensual delights? |
A41668 | As thy Repentance must be speedy without delay, so must thy Restitution: For what true Repentance can there be without Restitution? |
A41668 | Because God is gracious, shall we thereupon prove the more ungracious and rebellious against him, and his Commandments? |
A41668 | Because God is merciful, shall we be so ungrateful, as thereupon to run on in a course of sinning against him, presuming on his mercy to the last? |
A41668 | Because one hath wronged thee, will that be thy warrant to wrong another? |
A41668 | Besides canst thou imagine that such a sinner deserveth favour, who cometh in to serve God at last, when he can serve his Lust no longer? |
A41668 | But God is angry with thee, thou art a guilty Creature, and by thy sins hast fallen under his wrath and displeasure; how wilt thou do for that? |
A41668 | But art thou sure that there is such a place as Heaven, and such blessedness there? |
A41668 | But doth God put off doing good to you, till you are Old? |
A41668 | But what if it should be so, if thou shouldst be snatch''d from the Ale- bench, and brought to Judgment? |
A41668 | But where do you read in Scripture of any Saint that was overcome with this sin? |
A41668 | But who is it shall bring thee to Heaven? |
A41668 | But whose Child art thou the while? |
A41668 | But wilt thou therefore eat to Gluttony, and allow thy self in such intemperance, as will make thee as ready to curse God, as to bless and praise him? |
A41668 | Can a man be born when he is old? |
A41668 | Can it free you from cares? |
A41668 | Can it keep you from the Dropsie, Feaver, Gout, or other bodily Diseases? |
A41668 | Can it lengthen your dayes? |
A41668 | Can it preserve you from death, or obtain the pardon of your sins? |
A41668 | Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the Leopard his spots? |
A41668 | Can they obtain the pardon of thy sins? |
A41668 | Canst thou think God will accept thereof? |
A41668 | Consider, I beseech you, how little good your wealth can do you? |
A41668 | Dare you to meet the Judge of all the earth, and to stand before his Bar with all your loads of guilt upon you? |
A41668 | Do as thou wouldst be done by: Wouldst thou not be evil spoken of? |
A41668 | Do not you fear the wrath of the Lamb? |
A41668 | Do you lack Pass- time? |

A41668 | Dost thou love thy body? |
A41668 | Dost thou love thy credit? |
A41668 | Dost thou love thy goods? |
A41668 | Doth it not then concern thee speedily, without any further delay, to set about it, and to improve thy precious time to the best advantage? |
A41668 | Doth the Devil carry away that? |
A41668 | Enquire diligently, what would God have me do? |
A41668 | For how many do we see abounding with wealth, who yet have unquiet and discontented spirits? |
A41668 | For what are they indeed but dumb Orators to perswade to Lust? |
A41668 | For what can be more righteous, than that they should be left to forget God when they are old, who would not remember him in their Youth? |
A41668 | For what comfortable Society, or commerce can there be, where men regard not what they say? |
A41668 | For what doth more abridge men of pleasure and delight, than walking in the ways of godliness? |
A41668 | For what if thy great change should come before the change of thy heart? |
A41668 | For what is the gain of many thousands, nay of all the wealth in the World to the loss off thy precious soul? |
A41668 | For what will it advantage a man to gain a little Earth with the loss of Heaven? |
A41668 | For when the Devil findeth men most idle, he will be sure to set them on his work? |
A41668 | God being a just God, is it not just, that he should reject them for ever, who have for a long time rejected him? |
A41668 | God promises and rewards with spiritual and eternal blessings, but what is this to a carnal mind? |
A41668 | Hast thou Grace? |
A41668 | Hast thou fallen into sin? |
A41668 | Hast thou hearkened to it? |
A41668 | Hast thou not a dead Soul to be quickned? |
A41668 | Hast thou not done enough to the damning thine own Soul, but thou must go on further in thy wicked and ungodly courses? |
A41668 | Hast thou repented? |
A41668 | Have you forgotten what charge they laid upon you to fear the Lord? |
A41668 | Have you not oft- times said in selling your commodities, It is good, yea very good, and no better to be had for money, when you know it is naught? |
