| A41527 | And then doth the Soul say, it is not only the will of my father,& therefore shall I not drink the Cup he gives me? |
| A41527 | And what else is the meaning of that speech, I will be merciful to whom I will be mercifull? |
| A41527 | And what makes a man come to accept the punishment of his iniquities? |
| A41527 | And what was I once? |
| A41527 | And who will say unto him, what dost thou? |
| A41527 | And wilt thou envy that I have taken them from thee, and not done so, from another? |
| A41527 | Are not all things mine? |
| A41527 | Art a living 〈 ◊ 〉 still in this world? |
| A41527 | But Moses said to him, Enviest thou for my sake? |
| A41527 | But are these all, indeed? |
| A41527 | But he is of one mind, and who can turn him? |
| A41527 | But in what respect doth it make us perfect? |
| A41527 | But it is the blessing of my Father, and shall not I bless him for it? |
| A41527 | Do ye think that the Scripture saith in vain, the Spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? |
| A41527 | First, how doth Faith work Patience? |
| A41527 | Hath the Lord indeed spoken only, by Moses? |
| A41527 | He had professed his waiting on God just before in that Psalm; Now Lord, what doe I wait for? |
| A41527 | He increaseth the Nations and destroys them, enlargeth the Nations and straitens them again) AND WHO CAN HINDER HIM? |
| A41527 | He is Lord( says he) the Lord of all: All was his own; and shall he not doe what he will with his own? |
| A41527 | He took away your Goods, and who could hinder him? |
| A41527 | How doth he say then, not an hair of your head shall perish? |
| A41527 | How? |
| A41527 | I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God? |
| A41527 | If God be for us, who can be against us? |
| A41527 | If you ask me, Whence hath a a Christian this self- sufficiency, within himself? |
| A41527 | NAY, then says he, if these be all, we are safe enough, We are more then Conquerours in all these: But how comes this to pass? |
| A41527 | Now what was ● t, had tamed, and made Moses ● hus ● hus meek and calm, and passive? |
| A41527 | Now whence arose thi ● blessed disposition of heart, thu ● free from envy in him? |
| A41527 | Shall I not doe what I will with mine own? |
| A41527 | Shall a man be sick, that another is in health? |
| A41527 | Shall thine eye be evil because I am good? |
| A41527 | Should it be from with thee) that is, from what is in, and with thee? |
| A41527 | Should[ IT( the evil, or the good, he is pleased to bring on thee) be according to thy minde? |
| A41527 | The Church expresseth it as the mos ● brutish improper incongruity, unbecoming a man, such as ther ● could not be imagined a greater What? |
| A41527 | The Lord hath said to him, curse David; Who shall then say, wherefore hast thou done so? |
| A41527 | To carry a great burden a quarter of an hour is an effect of some patience; but to carry it a day, or more, or for a week, there is long- suffering? |
| A41527 | Vel certe ideo addit nequis deum sepius adire vereatur( Calvins very words) nonne enim dicit, jam toties dedi; quid adhuc me obtundis? |
| A41527 | Well: Hath God shewed his Dominion in saving thy Soul with difference, hath he shewn it on this, the good side? |
| A41527 | What am I( says he) or what have I to challenge, or assume to my self as mine? |
| A41527 | What else doe suffering long, bearing, and enduring all things, with the rest, sound and signifie? |
| A41527 | What have I, or am I, that I have not received? |
| A41527 | What may that contain in it? |
| A41527 | What mean you to break my heart? |
| A41527 | What was Christs perfection? |
| A41527 | Where ● ore doth a LIVING man 〈 … 〉, a MAN, for the 〈 … 〉 of his sin? |
| A41527 | Who is he that overcomes the World? |
| A41527 | Why are you[ TROUBLED?] |
| A41527 | Why doe[ THOUGHTS] arise in your hearts? |
| A41527 | Why doth ● he put in[ to them that love him] whilest he speaks of him that endureth Tentations? |
| A41527 | Why? |
| A41527 | and v. 35. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? |
| A41527 | and wherein lyes it? |
| A41527 | hath he not spoken by us? |
| A41527 | his Heart through Love to the Name of Christ, caused him, in the highest passion, to utter, What mean you to weep and break my heart? |
| A41527 | must he ask counsel first of thee,& know what thy mind is? |
| A41527 | shall Tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or sword? |
| A41527 | what considerations, that may procure us this joy; and how may we be wrought up to it? |
| A12180 | 10. doe you come to mee, and commend your soules to me? |
| A12180 | Againe remember this for a ground that Christ as man merited not the grace of Vnion or unction, for how could he merit before he was? |
| A12180 | And as it is our honour, so it is our security, and safety to bee under him, why? |
| A12180 | But first let us see why it s sayd He is Lord both of the dead and of the living, prefixing the dead before the living? |
| A12180 | But how is it they are the Lords? |
| A12180 | But what manner of Lordship is this? |
| A12180 | By what title is hee Lord? |
| A12180 | Christ is Lord, both of the dead and of the living, for the better clearing of the point, let us see what is Lordship? |
| A12180 | Domine quo descendis,& c. Lord how farre goest thou? |
| A12180 | For what is the Sacrament but are presentation of his body broken, and of his blood powred out for us, that hee might be Lord over us? |
| A12180 | Hee revived? |
| A12180 | How doth he prove that they doe it to the Lord? |
| A12180 | How doth hee proove that these holy Christians did eate, or not eate to the Lord? |
| A12180 | How shall we live to Christ? |
| A12180 | I am freed from it, I am redeemed from my selfe, what have I to doe with my selfe, but deny all? |
| A12180 | In the third placē how doth he prove, that they are the Lords that live, and dye to him? |
| A12180 | Now hee proves their whole life, and death are to the Lord, because they are the Lords, how doth he prove that they are the Lords? |
| A12180 | So you see the dependance of the reason, they eate, or eate not to the Lord: why? |
| A12180 | That he might be Lord of the dead& c. How is Christ Lord? |
| A12180 | The second Adam hath bought us with his blood, and life, to rule us for ever, will hee then suffer us to bee disposed off by our selves? |
| A12180 | Thereupon that is no objection, he seemed sometime a little unwilling? |
| A12180 | Thirdly, Hee revived, therefore he is Lord of the quicke and of the dead? |
| A12180 | This doubt rose from difference of aymes, whether he should please God or man? |
| A12180 | We see what it is to live to Christ, let us see: what is it to dye to the Lord? |
| A12180 | What became of those bodyes that rose with him after? |
| A12180 | Whether Christ by his dying and abasement did merit any thing for himselfe? |
| A12180 | Why is this added to rising againe? |
| A12180 | Why was there a stop of that glory? |
| A12180 | Why? |
| A12180 | and be subject to him, shall he for ever be Lord for my good, and shall not I as much as lyeth in me, lay a foundation for ever in his service? |
| A12180 | and grow sinfull, and have lesse conscience then a Turke or a Iew, will Christ continue his blessed prerogatives, and priviledges to such? |
| A12180 | and hell most? |
| A12180 | could Christ merit to be united to the second person, that was the greatest grace that ever was? |
| A12180 | hee that will not quench the smoaking flaxe, nor break the brused reede, will hee cast away his poore children that strive against their corruptions? |
| A12180 | is it not for our good, that he is our Lord in life and in death? |
| A12180 | that when I am dead posterity may serve him? |
| A12180 | what became of Adam, when he was master of himselfe? |
| A12180 | what have I to doe with it? |
| A12180 | what have I to doe with this ambition? |
| A12180 | will not he favour his owne spouse as the weaker vessell think you? |
| A41521 | 1230. resolving that Question, Whether the Observance of the Old or New Law be the most burdensome? |
| A41521 | 1265. in resolving that Question, Whether the new Law can justify a Man? |
| A41521 | And how was he thus mortified to the Law of Works? |
| A41521 | And now, what is the Ground of this desperate Assertion? |
| A41521 | And then determining that Question, Whether this new Evangelical Law hath the Virtue of justifying a Man? |
| A41521 | And was it not the Neglect of the due Exercise of Faith, which at last plung''d him into the Depths of Misery and Despair? |
| A41521 | And was not Adam, while flourishing in his State Innocence, a real and sincere Believer? |
| A41521 | Are any Precepts wanting in it? |
| A41521 | Ay but it will be said, What is all this to the Purpose of the present Controversy, wherein we have not to do with Arminians? |
| A41521 | But I say, Have they not heard? |
| A41521 | But in the Close of the Dispute, this Jesuit Contzen joyfully cries out, Victory; And what animated his Courage? |
| A41521 | But what are the Trophies of Conquest which he shews to this purpose? |
| A41521 | But what meaning then must we apprehend these Scriptures to bear? |
| A41521 | But what need was there that I should mention the Testimonies of Men, when Witness offers it self from Heaven? |
| A41521 | By what Law? |
| A41521 | Doth this become the Wisdom of God to act so preposterously? |
| A41521 | For if by my Obedience to some Law I may be justified, and the Works of that can be my Righteousness, why should Christ die? |
| A41521 | For unless he signified a new Doctrine, what need was there at length to promise a Law, which had been made so many Years before? |
| A41521 | For what is Faith, but to trust in God upon his Word and Promise for all our Life and Happiness? |
| A41521 | From the Gospel? |
| A41521 | How can that be, when the least Sound of it never arriv''d to their Ears? |
| A41521 | How could it be a Duty for him to own his Crime with Shame and Sorrow, who never yet had transgressed, or prevaricated in his Obedience? |
| A41521 | In all these Meanings the Apostle asserts himself to be dead to the Law: And what was it made him so? |
| A41521 | Promittit enim, hîc novum verbum, nisi enim novam Doctrinam significaret, quid opus erat denuo promittere Legem, quae tot annis antè lata erat? |
| A41521 | That to have distrusted God, to have renounced Dependance on him, would not have been a Crime the greatest as could be committed by him? |
| A41521 | The People answered him, We have heard out of the Law, that Christ abideth for ever: and how saist thou, The Son of Man must be lift up? |
| A41521 | Then one of them which was a Lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, Master, which is the great Commandment in the Law? |
| A41521 | This seems to be fairly offer''d to compound the Business: but what if the Apostle refuseth the Composition? |
| A41521 | This suppos''d Error the Jesuit applies himself to confute; and in resolving that Question, What is the Law of Works? |
| A41521 | What I have proposed to my self to debate in the present Discourse, is, Whether the Gospel be a new Law? |
| A41521 | What is it to be dead to the Law? |
| A41521 | What then shall I brand my Reverend Brother with any of these hated Names? |
| A41521 | What then? |
| A41521 | What, by a new Law of Works lower''d to more moderate Conditions? |
| A41521 | Whence have they this binding Precept of Repentance? |
| A41521 | Where is boasting then? |
| A41521 | Who can think of God but as All- knowing, and having at one view a certain Prospect of all Persons and Things, past, present, and to come? |
| A41521 | Who is this Son of Man? |
| A41521 | Who will say, that the Sun doth its Duty in performing its constant laborious Course, or that a Reward is due when it hath done its Work? |
| A41521 | and so long as he persisted in acting Faith, did he not continue to be happy? |
| A41521 | and what is Unbelief but to distrust him? |
| A41521 | and what the Law of Faith? |
| A41521 | how then did Christ compleat all Righteousness in the most exact observance of it? |
| A41521 | is Holiness the Condition of obtaining the Beatifical Vision? |
| A41521 | is that Law imperfect, which was the Rule of the most perfect Obedience that ever was, and which excell''d that of Angels? |
| A41521 | it will be said, doth the Law require Repentance when it made no Proposals of Pardon for the Crime? |
| A41521 | of Works? |
| A41521 | or to what purpose was he obedient, since no other Ends of his Death and Obedience are assigned, but the Justification of a Sinner? |
| A41521 | will it thence follow that the Gospel, which is a Doctrine of Grace, is also a dreadful threatning Law? |
| A41521 | † Per quam Legem? |
| A10018 | & c. But what came of it? |
| A10018 | 1. Who knowes what a day may bring forth? |
| A10018 | 2. after the sermon of Peter, who were pricked in their hearts, and cried out, Men and brethren, what shall wee doe to be saved? |
| A10018 | 2. and saith thus to him, Oh Iehosaphat, wilt thou helpe the wicked? |
| A10018 | Againe, to be guided by God, who is the wisest, is it not the wisest way? |
| A10018 | Againe, with what is it hid? |
| A10018 | And are not all these things arguments enow that God hath begunne with us? |
| A10018 | And as in feeding, so in cloathing so many creatures; if men should cloath them, how would they beginne to doe it? |
| A10018 | And who knowes whether we be not now upon the very Tropicks and turnings of Times? |
| A10018 | And why? |
| A10018 | As for example: had God made the eye, and not colour for a fit object of the eye, to what end had the eye beene made? |
| A10018 | But how proveth hee that? |
| A10018 | But is this all the use that is to be made of it? |
| A10018 | But what saith God? |
| A10018 | But who is the cause of these causes? |
| A10018 | But you will aske me, how we shall resist the inordinacy of them? |
| A10018 | But you will aske mee, how shall I know mine affections are inordinate? |
| A10018 | But you will say, Must a man come in presently into the presence of God after hee hath so grosly offended him? |
| A10018 | But you will say, how shall I know when such obiections are from Satan, they may arise from a right iudgement of what mine estate is? |
| A10018 | Come to the keeping of the Sabbath, I would but aske this question, Whether the day be not holy? |
| A10018 | Esau when the blessing was past helpe and recoverie, he could seek it with teares: But why did they doe it no sooner while it was yet time? |
| A10018 | For of what materials shall any middle course bee framed, when neyther side can spare the smallest piece of timber in their building? |
| A10018 | For why should we not? |
| A10018 | From whom is it hid? |
| A10018 | Hee that hath my word let him speake my word faithfully; for what is the chaffe to the wheat? |
| A10018 | How is the faithfull Citie become an har lot? |
| A10018 | How oft have generall Councels, beene distracted into factions, leavened with malice, puft up with pride,& c? |
| A10018 | I will forgiue their sinnes; and what then? |
| A10018 | If there were but a towne, or a village to bee planted, how many things were necessarie to maintaine it? |
| A10018 | If we will not beleeve his word, yet shall we not beleeve his actions? |
| A10018 | If you aske me, how we shall doe that? |
| A10018 | In a word, have not our enterprizes beene blasted, and withered under our hands for the most part? |
| A10018 | In that when the people had here committed this great sinne, and Samuel bids them not feare; they might haply aske him, what would you haue vs doe? |
| A10018 | Oh that my people were wise: what to doe? |
| A10018 | Outward Calamities that befall a Church, or a State, or a particular Person, are terrible; but who considers them in time to prevent them? |
| A10018 | So Nadab and Abihu, when they offered sacrifice, you would thinke it to bee no great matter, a circumstance, and will not common fire serue the turne? |
| A10018 | Take but a small family, if there be but a little improvidence, how soone doth the whole family feele the want of it? |
| A10018 | Well, but what if circumcision the ancient character bee still retained, and joined unto Christ? |
| A10018 | What is the vse then and benefit of generall Councels, if they could be obtained? |
| A10018 | When there was a great multitude came against him, he feared, saith the Text; and what did this fear set him on work to doe? |
| A10018 | Where you shall observe, that where God once begins to doe it, all the Churches come in, in the end; and whence was it? |
| A10018 | Whose oxe or whose asse haue I taken? |
| A10018 | You will say this is impossible, must a man stand considering euery act on that he doth? |
| A10018 | You will say vnto mee, How shall we know it? |
| A10018 | You will say, But this is somewhat obscure, what kinde of vertue is this? |
| A10018 | and do not wee say now that such an accident, and such a miscarriage of such a businesse, and such men are the causes? |
| A10018 | and doe you not reckon that the finest flesh that is sensible of the least pricking? |
| A10018 | and how doe wee thinke that the great family of the world could bee kept, without a speciall providence to order it? |
| A10018 | and if it be holy, is not a holy day to be kept holy? |
| A10018 | and if it bee not holy, why doe you doe any thing at all? |
| A10018 | and is not that the brightest light that shewes the least moats? |
| A10018 | and passeth by the transgression of his heritage? |
| A10018 | are not many branches of the Church cut off already,& more in hazzard? |
| A10018 | are not our Allies wasted? |
| A10018 | are not these crackes to give warning before the fall of the house? |
| A10018 | are not these the gray haires which Hosea speakes of, that are here and there upon us, and we discerne them not? |
| A10018 | are they not bought with the same price,& are they not as dear to God? |
| A10018 | are they not the same Church of God as we are? |
| A10018 | are we infatuate, and see nothing? |
| A10018 | at this time are not present enemies, not only stirred up, but united together, and we dis- joyned to resist them? |
| A10018 | doe wee not see the whole bodie of those that professe the truth are besieged round about through Christendome? |
| A10018 | doth he approve this mixture? |
| A10018 | hath he not begunne? |
| A10018 | have not things been long going down the hill, and are even now hastening to a period? |
| A10018 | is it not better to be sure of both? |
| A10018 | is it not he without whose providence a Sparrow fals not to the ground? |
| A10018 | is this all the Prophet driveth to in this place? |
| A10018 | no, but will returne rather, and will you turne aside from following the Lord too? |
| A10018 | secondly, whither shall it be that you would goe? |
| A10018 | what kinde of infusion and transmission is it? |
| A10018 | when a man is out of his way, will he goe on? |
| A10018 | whether it be laid vpon them of such necessity or no, to keepe such exactnesse in their conuersation? |
| A10018 | whether it differ not from other daies that are common daies? |
| A10018 | whom haue I wronged? |
| A10018 | why doe you not keepe it exactly to God? |
| A10018 | why doth hee set limits to himselfe, for God requires that we should doe his will on earth as it is done in Heauen? |
| A10018 | why, to the Lord, but what hope is there that hee should accept vs? |
| A10018 | will he leave his worke in the middle? |
| A10018 | wilt thou love those that hate the Lord? |
| A68733 | A carelesse spirit oft proves a wounded spirit, and that, who can beare? |
| A68733 | Alas, are these fruits of Gods speciall love? |
| A68733 | Alas, let our bodies speake, we are not free from sicknesse and diseases: nay, what is our life but a going to corruption? |
| A68733 | Alas, what are all gifts and parts without a gracious heart? |
| A68733 | All this is true, while faith holdeth out; but that may faile? |
| A68733 | And have we not since we were borne added sinne unto sinne? |
| A68733 | And indeed what man will endure his greatest favours and kindnesses to be sleighted? |
| A68733 | And should not this worke upon our hearts a care not to grieve the holy Spirit? |
| A68733 | And wee may know this appropriation by appropriating God againe; Whom have I in heaven but thee, and what have I in earth in comparison of thee? |
| A68733 | And what is there that an ill disposed soule can not sucke poyson out of? |
| A68733 | And what should be the distinguishing character of gracious soules now, but to bee such as wait for the comming of Christ? |
| A68733 | And why are we certaine of the favour of God to our comfort for the present, but that wee doubt not of it for the time to come? |
| A68733 | And will not unkindenesse to the Spirit make us ashamed to lift up our face to heaven? |
| A68733 | Are t ● ey not called Daemones, from the largenesse of their understanding? |
| A68733 | Are we not all the children of wrath? |
| A68733 | As Reuben said unto the rest of his brethren, Spake I not vnto you,& c? |
| A68733 | As common ● wearers, can they plead ignorance? |
| A68733 | Bad is our condition by nature, and what a deale of misery doe we adde to this bad condition? |
| A68733 | But Sathan is strong, and his malice is more than his strength? |
| A68733 | But how little of our time is spent in thoughts this way? |
| A68733 | But how shall wee know this witnesse from an enthusiasticall fancie and illusion? |
| A68733 | But seeing Sathan will oft interrupt good motions by good motions, that he may hinder both: How shall we know from whence the motions come? |
| A68733 | But the time is long betweene us and salvation, and many dangers may fall out? |
| A68733 | But there be, you will say, strong illusions? |
| A68733 | Christ appeared, and the free favour of GOD in Christ, whereby wee are assured of salvation: which teacheth us, what to doe? |
| A68733 | Displeasure is as the person is: it is a fearefull thing to fall into the hands of the living God, who knowes the power of his wrath? |
| A68733 | Do we not grow in sinne as we do in yeares? |
| A68733 | Doe I not buy my sin too deare? |
| A68733 | For are we in darkenesse? |
| A68733 | GOD honours no grace so much as faith; Why? |
| A68733 | God spake to me, and I heeded him not, how doth God speake? |
| A68733 | Have not the divels greater parts than any man? |
| A68733 | He hath shewed that this is a sinne: whom do I grieve, by the commission of it? |
| A68733 | Hee will keepe us, but by what meanes? |
| A68733 | How carefull should we be to give contentment to this sweet Spirit of God? |
| A68733 | How little beholding is the holy Spirit to such, who please themselves in a spirit of opposition? |
| A68733 | How shall we know when we grieve the Spirit? |
| A68733 | I beseech you by the mercies of God, saith Saint Paul: what mercies? |
| A68733 | Is it little for you to despise mee, but you will grieve God? |
| A68733 | Is not God just? |
| A68733 | Is this my duty, and that which tends to my comfort? |
| A68733 | It may be demanded how farre forth a childe of God may grieve the Spirit, and yet remaine the childe of God? |
| A68733 | It may be objected, when we doe any thing amisse, we intend not the grieving of the Spirit? |
| A68733 | Let us labour to improve these talents, to the end for which they are sent: are they motions of comfort? |
| A68733 | May not there be doubtings where there is true faith, may not a true beleever be without assurance? |
| A68733 | Sinne against the holy Ghost, what? |
| A68733 | So may Gods Spirit, and conscience, say to men, Did not I acquaint you with the danger of sin? |
| A68733 | So men runne into the danger of others, by wronging them, what is the cause? |
| A68733 | The Lord knoweth who are his: but how shall we know it? |
| A68733 | The Spirit of God, and wound my owne conscience: and then consider, will that, that I sinne for, countervaile this? |
| A68733 | The flesh here will make a froward objection, We can doe no more then we can? |
| A68733 | The foole hath said in his heart, there is no God: and what followes? |
| A68733 | The fourth point is, what course wee should take to prevent this grieving of the Spirit? |
| A68733 | The grace of God( saith Paul to Titus) that bringeth salvation, Christ appeared: and what is Christ but grace? |
| A68733 | The holy Spirit of God is our guide: who will displease his guide? |
| A68733 | Those that neglect the Word and Sacrament, what doe they despise, a poore Minister? |
| A68733 | We are sealed to the day of Redemption, and who can reverse Gods seale, or Gods act and deed? |
| A68733 | Wee are angry with our selves for being passionate, but what is the cause of passion? |
| A68733 | What an indignity is this to the holy Spirit, to thinke it better to be accounted witty, and politicke, then to be holy, and gracious? |
| A68733 | What comfort would the soule have, if it should see heaven open, and it selfe entring into it, if redemption were at hand? |
| A68733 | What grace hath hee wrought in thy heart by his Spirit? |
| A68733 | What greater indignity can wee offer to the holy Spirit, than to prefer base dust before his motions? |
| A68733 | What is more sure then the thing it selfe? |
| A68733 | What is the cause? |
| A68733 | What more comfortable then faith in it? |
| A68733 | What need I bring Scripture to prove it? |
| A68733 | When we sinne, what doe we else but grieve this guide? |
| A68733 | Whence came this voyce of Saint Paul? |
| A68733 | Whence is it that we grieve the Spirit? |
| A68733 | Who can mortifie those strong corruptions, that would hinder us in the way to heaven, but the Spirit cloathing our spirit with power from above? |
| A68733 | Who can raise our spirits above all temptations and troubles, but that Spirit of power that is above all? |
| A68733 | Who will thinke himselfe well entertained into an house, when there shall be entertainement given to his greatest enemy with him? |
| A68733 | Why are voluntary sinnes so great, and so much grieve the Spirit of God? |
| A68733 | Why doth he blesse God before we have it? |
| A68733 | Why then do we pray for the forgivenesse of sinnes? |
| A68733 | Why will you perish, you house of Israel? |
| A68733 | Would men goe on in sinnes against conscience, if they thought of this last day? |
| A68733 | You are now in misery, and terrours of conscience, but did you not sleight former admonitions, and helps, and meanes? |
| A68733 | and hell terrible? |
| A68733 | and how gracious is the Spirit that will vouchsafe to have such communion with such poore sinfull spirits as ours? |
| A68733 | and neglect bread and wine? |
| A68733 | did not I move you to this good by mine owne Spirit? |
| A68733 | doth religion and the Spirit teach you this? |
| A68733 | he is a Spirit of consolation: Are we in perplexity, and know not what to do? |
| A68733 | he is a Spirit of life: Are we in a disconsolate estate? |
| A68733 | he is a Spirit of light: Are we in deadnesse of spirit? |
| A68733 | he is a Spirit of wisedome: Are wee troubled with corruptions? |
| A68733 | how oft in the Epistles of Saint Paul is it? |
| A68733 | leading us to holinesse and happinesse? |
| A68733 | let us use them for comfort: are they motions tending to duty? |
| A68733 | saith God, they intended no such matter as perishing: Gods meaning is, why will you go on in such destructive courses, as will ēd in perishing? |
| A68733 | they know the Commandement, God will not hold them guiltlesse, that take his name in vaine: can they plead perturbation? |
| A68733 | what greater unkindnesse, yea, treachery to leave directions of a friend to follow the counsaile of an enemy? |
| A68733 | what shall wee thinke then of them which doe not onely neglect, but despise, yea oppose this holinesse, and indure any thing else? |
| A68733 | who purifieth the cōscience, but he that is above cōscience? |
| A68733 | ● nd shall see more regard had, and better countenance shewed to his enemy, than to him? |
| A01894 | 11, 12. what brought such trouble, and roarings like Beares upon these Jewes? |
| A01894 | 12. Who can understand his errour? |
| A01894 | 13. last, God expresseth himselfe, when shall it once be? |
| A01894 | 13. last? |
| A01894 | 15. are yet in their sinnes? |
| A01894 | 16. if he had left out an eye in his common- place booke, thou hadst wanted it; is not that a mercy? |
| A01894 | 16. then what is the weight of his hands, even of those hands, which span the heavens, and hold the earth in the hollow of them? |
| A01894 | 16. though it a great matter God should forbeare so long? |
| A01894 | 17? |
| A01894 | 21, 22? |
| A01894 | 26, 27? |
| A01894 | 33. and will you deale so with God? |
| A01894 | 35. Who hath first given him, that hee may recompence him againe? |
| A01894 | 4. nor would the riches of the world, or the blood of men have beene a sufficient ransome: Will the Lord be pleased with rivers of oyle? |
| A01894 | 6. as Christ said to the Jewes, For which of all my good workes doe yee stone me? |
| A01894 | AND what have I beene speaking of all this while? |
| A01894 | All the thoughts of mens hearts from their youth up, they are evill, and onely evill, and continually: and how much then hath every man spent him? |
| A01894 | And eightly, how have these yeeres and hours of thy time been filled up with goodnesse? |
| A01894 | And further yet; hath he maintained thee onely? |
| A01894 | And hast thou health? |
| A01894 | And if one sin deserves a hell, a punishment above measure, what will millions of millions doe? |
| A01894 | And is not so much time of ease from punishment infinite mercy? |
| A01894 | And to what end are both these thus afforded? |
| A01894 | And what doe the two great books of the creatures, and the word, and all meanes else serve for, but to increase knowledge? |
| A01894 | And when thou sleepest, is thy sleepe pleasant to thee? |
| A01894 | And why not now? |
| A01894 | And yet when God gave thee all these, what did he but put weapons into an enemies hand? |
| A01894 | But hast thou Riches added to these, and abundance? |
| A01894 | But is that all? |
| A01894 | But yet if we will have Christ indeed( without whom we are undone) how shall we thou continue in sinne, which is thus above measure sinfull? |
| A01894 | Doe not the Gentiles doe good to those that do good to them? |
| A01894 | Fiftly, since thou camest into the world, what a long time hath God suffered thee to live in it? |
| A01894 | First, by concealing it: the Apostle indeed sayes in a certaine case, Hast thou knowledge? |
| A01894 | For a Traytor to live, though but upon bread and water all his dayes, what favour is it? |
| A01894 | For what is it that should reduce this man to repentance? |
| A01894 | For when any mans light is lost and turned into darknesse by sinning, then, as Christ sayes, how great is that darknesse? |
| A01894 | For, for what crime did you ever hear a King was put to death? |
| A01894 | Hast a bed to lye upon? |
| A01894 | Hast a house in the world to hide thy head in, and keepe thee from the injuries of the weather? |
| A01894 | Hast thou cloathes to cover thy nakednesse? |
| A01894 | Hast thou enlarged parts and gifts for higher imployments? |
| A01894 | Hast thou friends, or doe any love thee? |
| A01894 | Have they no knowledge, who eate up my people? |
| A01894 | How darest thou smite him, and so cause him to doe that for which God will whip him worser? |
| A01894 | How did hee sinne against the haire, as wee speak, and how did all these circumstances aggravate his sin? |
| A01894 | How hath that his patience and long suffering, vouchsafing thee space to repent, wrought with thee? |
| A01894 | How often did mercy come in, and tell thee, that if thou lookest for any hope or part in it, thou shouldest not doe such an evill? |
| A01894 | If a man sinne against his brother, the Iudge shall judge him; but if against God, who shall plead for him? |
| A01894 | If the light that is in thee be darknesse( sayes Christ) how great is that darknesse? |
| A01894 | Is it a small thing to weary men, but you must weary God also? |
| A01894 | Is there no antidote, no balme in Gilead more soveraigne, than it is deadly? |
| A01894 | Is thy case, the case of the figtree onely, which before we mentioned, that when God cryed, Cut it downe, another cryed, spare it? |
| A01894 | NOw the use of all that hath been spoken, what is it, but to move all those that have knowledge, to take heed, more heed of sinning than other men? |
| A01894 | Oh death, where is thy sting? |
| A01894 | Or despisest thou the riches of his goodnesse, and forbearance, and long suffering, not knowing that the goodnesse of God leadeth thee to repentance? |
| A01894 | Or hast thou credit( which is better than riches? |
| A01894 | Otherwise, how many wayes, ere this, hadst thou been snatcht away out of the land of the living? |
| A01894 | Shall I speak the least evill I can say of it? |
| A01894 | Sixtly, But further, in the 6. place; Is this all? |
| A01894 | So hadst thou sinned against any other attribute, Mercy might have pleaded for thee; but if against Mercy it selfe, who shall? |
| A01894 | So say I to you, for which of all his mercies is it, ye sinne against him? |
| A01894 | So say I, Hath God any more such sonnes? |
| A01894 | The same Law was out against us, which was out against the Angels; That day thou eatest, thou shalt dye the death: what put the difference? |
| A01894 | Thinkes he, Shall I live in that for which Christ died? |
| A01894 | Thirdly, being a man, hast thou all thy members that belong unto a man? |
| A01894 | To begin at the very beginning of thy being: how much riches of goodnesse were there laid and buried in thy foundation? |
| A01894 | To conclude, hast thou comfort in all these? |
| A01894 | Was that then which is good made death unto mee? |
| A01894 | What iniquity did you ever finde in him, thus to deale? |
| A01894 | What, art thou evill, because God is good? |
| A01894 | When a mans sins may be said to be his own? |
| A01894 | Wherein? |
| A01894 | Why? |
| A01894 | Why? |
| A01894 | Yea, doe thy cloathes keepe thee warme? |
| A01894 | [ Shall we goe on to sinne against this good, so good? |
| A01894 | and despise that in him most, which seekes to save thee? |
| A01894 | and goe on to wound him, who weepeth overthee? |
| A01894 | and hast not thou spent all this time in making up the measure of thine iniquity full? |
| A01894 | and hath it beene will ingnesse onely in God that thou shouldest not perish? |
| A01894 | and load him with sins? |
| A01894 | and that when salvation was looked for, that yet it was so far off from them, in their apprehensions? |
| A01894 | and then how could it have addition to it, one sin being more sinfull than another? |
| A01894 | and those of them that remaine in their naturall estate, to turne speedily and effectually unto God? |
| A01894 | and to allude to us, as Naomi said to Ruth, Is there yet any more sonnes in my wombe, that they may be your husbands? |
| A01894 | and with how many comforts? |
| A01894 | did God send in the remembrance of such a mercie past, to perswade thee; or some mercies to come, which thou dependest upon him for? |
| A01894 | did any Scripture come in to testifie against thee in the nick? |
| A01894 | did he that never knew sinne, undergoe the torment for it, and shall I be so unkinde as to enjoy the pleasure of it? |
| A01894 | doe we yet look for another Christ? |
| A01894 | for hast thou not used all these, as weapons of unrighteousnesse? |
| A01894 | hath it beene barely a time of ease given thee, a time of reprivall? |
| A01894 | how much of these his riches have been laden in it? |
| A01894 | how nigh to repentance hath it brought thee? |
| A01894 | how often came that in, Shall I doe this, and sinne against God? |
| A01894 | is it not his knowledge? |
| A01894 | of thee, what a curious workmanship is it? |
| A01894 | oh grave, where is thy victory? |
| A01894 | or are we afraid of being happy too soon, in being married to him? |
| A01894 | or is not this Christ good enough? |
| A01894 | returne evill for good?] |
| A01894 | shall I give my first borne for my transgression? |
| A01894 | shall that be my life, which was his death? |
| A01894 | so are his mercies called: canst hit him no where else but there? |
| A01894 | to betray all he gives you into the devills, his enemies hands? |
| A01894 | what is it thou wilt then come to plead and cry for? |
| A01894 | what is the whole world then? |
| A01894 | what, to fight against him with his owne weapons? |
| A12183 | 1 Doth God manifest his glory? |
| A12183 | 3 Againe, is grace glory, when God sets it on us, shall wee cast our crowne in the dirt? |
| A12183 | 3 But how shall we know whether we be set at liberty or no? |
| A12183 | 338,& c. And why? |
| A12183 | 358 And why? |
| A12183 | ? |
| A12183 | A wicked man can not desire death, he can not desire heaven it selfe, why? |
| A12183 | And then glorious liberty he hath to come into the presence of God upon all occasions, being a friend of God, are not these things glorious beloved? |
| A12183 | And then whose are we, if wee bee none of Christs? |
| A12183 | And to incourage us, here grace begunne hath the same name as grace perfect, both are glory, why doth God call them by one name? |
| A12183 | And what are we to looke to mainely now? |
| A12183 | And where are meaner men in the appearance of a glorious Prince? |
| A12183 | Beloved it is invalluable, there is not the least branch of this spirituall liberty, but it is worth a thousand worlds, how should we value it? |
| A12183 | But how are we changed into the likenesse of Christ? |
| A12183 | But in the next Chapter, there he shewes himselfe to Moses, and how doth he shew himselfe, and his glory to Moses? |
| A12183 | But now to man in a lapsed estate, what attribute shines most, and is most glorious? |
| A12183 | Christ was borne there: what makes the heart where Christ is borne, more glorious than other folke? |
| A12183 | First of truths: what is the scope of the whole scriptures, but Christ? |
| A12183 | For I would know whether the first Adams liberty, were greater or the liberty in heaven the second Adams liberty? |
| A12183 | Glory what? |
| A12183 | Hath this sight a transforming power in thee, to the Image of Christ? |
| A12183 | Hope, what doth it? |
| A12183 | How come we to dye to sinne, by vertue of Christs death? |
| A12183 | How is the Spirit grieved? |
| A12183 | How is this grace of God in Christ, conveyed to us yet nearer? |
| A12183 | How shall wee have the eye of our soules fit to behold the glory of God? |
| A12183 | How shall wee know then that wee see God in Christ, and the glory of God in the Gospell comfortably? |
| A12183 | How shall wee know then whether we have the Image of Christ stamped upon us, or no? |
| A12183 | If God were glorious in all other attributes, and not it mercy, what would become of us? |
| A12183 | If grace and mercy were hid, our state being as it is, since the fall, what were all other attributes but matter of terrour? |
| A12183 | If we have not the Spirit, how shall we come to have the Spirit? |
| A12183 | In restraint of the outward man, if ever God restraine us to humble us, what a blessed thing is this, that the Spirit is at liberty? |
| A12183 | Is it for want of understanding that the Angels choose not ill? |
| A12183 | Is it not an unsightly thing to see a golden pillar daubed with dirt? |
| A12183 | Is it so in this outward creation of the old heavens, and old earth that must be consumed with fire, and is it not much more in the new creation? |
| A12183 | Is not Christ all in all these? |
| A12183 | Is not love a glorious grace, that melts one into the likenesse of Christ? |
| A12183 | Is not wisedome a glorious thing, to see a wise understanding man able to guide himselfe and others? |
| A12183 | It hinders boldnesse with men: for what makes a man couragious in his dealings with men? |
| A12183 | It is of the same substance, of the same colour that other water is? |
| A12183 | It is said of Antiochus that he was a vile person, what, though hee was a King? |
| A12183 | It is true, Christ is our righteousnesse, but what is that to us except wee have something to put it on? |
| A12183 | Many are discovered hence, to have no spirit of God in them, In trouble, whether goe they? |
| A12183 | Now this inward liberty is wrought by the liberty of the Gospell? |
| A12183 | Oh but I haue offended often, and grievously? |
| A12183 | Oh say they,( which is their maine objection) here is a prejudice to the liberty of the will, this is to overthrow the nature of man? |
| A12183 | See what Saint Paul saith, what his judgement was: Oh foolish Galathians, before whom Christ hath been painted and cruci ● ied, how was he painted? |
| A12183 | Take away Christ, what was the Brazen Serpent? |
| A12183 | The Gospell the kingdome of God, why? |
| A12183 | The holy Apostles wee know till the Spirit came more abundantly upon them; what darke creatures they were? |
| A12183 | The spirit is to the soule, as the soule is to the body; what is the body without the soule? |
| A12183 | Then againe it is victorious, shining to victory, over all that is contrary: For alasse beloved, what would become of us? |
| A12183 | Then againe we all expect glory in heaven, and how can wee doe that except we befitted for it? |
| A12183 | Then why should we be afraid of death? |
| A12183 | Therefore, wouldst thou know, what thy condition shall be afterwards? |
| A12183 | Those that care not what company they keepe those that despise the Image of Christ in those among whom they live, can they grow in grace? |
| A12183 | Thy Kingdome come, thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven; can it be so in this world? |
| A12183 | We all behold the glory of God, now reconciled in Iesus Christ, what doth that beholding worke? |
| A12183 | We enter into a covenant with God, in the covenant of grace, and how can we maintaine the covenant of grace, without some likenesse to God and Christ? |
| A12183 | We shall give account of all the good examples we have had, doth God kindle lights for nothing? |
| A12183 | Wee are never in such a condition as we ought to be, except grace be glory to us, and when is grace glory to a sinner? |
| A12183 | Well, how shall we know whether we have the spirit of Christ or no? |
| A12183 | What a comfort is this to sinfull man, that in casting himself upon Christ, and upon Gods mercy in Christ, hee yeelds glory to God? |
| A12183 | What doe we pray in the Lords prayer but for this liberty? |
| A12183 | What is all the Scriptures without Christ? |
| A12183 | What is all? |
| A12183 | What is glory? |
| A12183 | What is so contrary, as the nature of God, to the nature of man out of Christ? |
| A12183 | What is the Charter of our liberty? |
| A12183 | What is the best liquor if it hath lost its life and spirit, but flat and unsavory? |
| A12183 | What is the liberty of the Gospell? |
| A12183 | What is the reason that Wine, or Aqua- vitae, doth more refresh and strengthen then common water? |
| A12183 | What is the reason, they are determined eternally to that that is good? |
| A12183 | What is the way, after wee have had boldnesse and sweete familiarity with God, and it hath beene interrupted by sin, how shall we recover our selves? |
| A12183 | What is this to the Gospell? |
| A12183 | What made the second temple beyond the former? |
| A12183 | What makes the times now more glorious than they were before Christ? |
| A12183 | What saith the Prophet? |
| A12183 | What things in Christs death did especially discover themselves to us,( when we once beleeve) to our comfort? |
| A12183 | What was he to his enemies? |
| A12183 | What was his disposition, and carriage? |
| A12183 | What was the Arke? |
| A12183 | What were the Sacrifices? |
| A12183 | What? |
| A12183 | When did this fulnesse of the Spirit come upon Christ, when had hee it? |
| A12183 | When was the fullest measure of the Spirit in Christ? |
| A12183 | Whose image and superscription is this? |
| A12183 | Why doe all come under one name, the state of glory in Heaven, and the state of grace here, is there no difference? |
| A12183 | Why is it a priviledge for many, that we all? |
| A12183 | Why not before? |
| A12183 | Why? |
| A12183 | You see how full of love he was, what drew him from heaven to earth? |
| A12183 | a ca ● k ● ss ●, a loathsome dead thing; what is the soule without the spirit? |
| A12183 | and take the wine alone, as it doth not represent better things, and what is the wine? |
| A12183 | and to live to righteousnesse by the fellowship of Christs resurrection? |
| A12183 | and what did he in the like case, when he was upon earth? |
| A12183 | and why are Kings, and great men glorious at certaine times, but that there bee beholders? |
| A12183 | are we not to dye, and to appeare before God? |
| A12183 | are we not to enjoy the blessings of God purely, and doe not these things require a great deale of strength of grace? |
| A12183 | but that men may behold the Light? |
| A12183 | by the imployment of Heaven, what is that? |
| A12183 | can the soule performe sanctified actions without a sanctified power? |
| A12183 | did he call for fire from heaven, when they wronged him, was he all on a heate? |
| A12183 | dost thou carry the Image of Sathan, and dost thou thinke to bee a Christian, except it be in tytle and profession onely? |
| A12183 | doth this suite with thy profession? |
| A12183 | except we be united to Christ what good have wee by Christ, if Christ bee not ours? |
| A12183 | from the first Promise of the blessed Seed, The Seed of the woman shall break the Serpents head, to the end of the book? |
| A12183 | have we not many enemies to resist? |
| A12183 | have we not many graces to perfect? |
| A12183 | he was created in Gods Image, and what is our glory? |
| A12183 | how come wee to be like him? |
| A12183 | how sweete was he to sinners when they repented, how ready to forgive and pardon? |
| A12183 | how we are justified, and freed by him, by the glorious mercy of God in Christ? |
| A12183 | is it not a Grape of the heavenly Canaan? |
| A12183 | is it not the beginnings of heaven? |
| A12183 | is not faith a glorious grace that triumphs over the great God himselfe, binding him with his owne Word and promise? |
| A12183 | is not the Spirit that wee have here, an earnest of that inheritance? |
| A12183 | is not the new creature more for his glory then the old creature? |
| A12183 | no, we desire health, when we have health, is that all? |
| A12183 | or as a glow- worme? |
| A12183 | or to see a crowne cast in the dirt? |
| A12183 | our liberty in grace, or that in glory? |
| A12183 | shall we thinke then of our former misery and basenesse, and trouble, and persecution? |
| A12183 | shall wee defile, and blemish our glory by sinniug against conscience? |
| A12183 | such as are like Christ? |
| A12183 | that a man may goe with boldnesse to the throne of grace, by the Spirit of Christ? |
| A12183 | that we might beginne Heaven on earth, as much as might be, and how shall we doe that? |
| A12183 | the liberty of Christ, was that he could not sinne at all: which thinke you was the chiefe, he that could not or hee that might sinne, if hee would? |
| A12183 | the liberty of the first man was, that he might not sinne, if hee would? |
| A12183 | there is excellent glory, mervailous glory, wondrous grace, and Christ,& c. must there be light, and must there not be an eye to discover this? |
| A12183 | we should glorifie God for the Sunne and Moone, and Stars, and other creatures, is not a Christian more glorious than all the creatures in the world? |
| A12183 | wee are all vayled by nature, the Spirit takes away the vaile from our eyes, and from the truth, what is the reason the Gospell is so obscure? |
| A12183 | what is all this glory, but a flash? |
| A12183 | what made the least in the Kingdome of heaven, greater than Iohn Baptist? |
| A12183 | what meanes must wee use to get it? |
| A12183 | who expects any thing from a barren wildernesse? |
| A12183 | why not in this world? |
| A12210 | A Christian indeed undergoes more trouble and paines( especially with his own heart) than others do, but what is that to his gaines? |
| A12210 | A man that sees his conscience awakened without this anointing, what is he? |
| A12210 | A seale continues with the thing, but the joy of the Spirit comes after the work of the Spirit, and abides not with us? |
| A12210 | Afflictions serve for this very end, to make us more prize God,& deny the creature with all its excellencies: are our crosses great here? |
| A12210 | Againe, doth God order all for the best, to them that love him? |
| A12210 | Againe, is there any thing more comfortable then that we give content to God? |
| A12210 | Againe, is there any thing more worthy our soules, than to be united to God? |
| A12210 | Alas say they, I had as good take this pleasure as have none at all: what shall become of me hereafter, who knowes? |
| A12210 | Alas what can we have from God, but by the manifestation of hiis own good will? |
| A12210 | Am I not under the hand of my God, working my good out of every evill? |
| A12210 | And are they certainly true, Yea and Amen in him? |
| A12210 | And can wee admire any thing with wisdome but God alone? |
| A12210 | And if God be on our side, who can bee against us? |
| A12210 | And if God turne all things whatsoever to our good, should not wee through the whole carriage of our lives, chiefly aime at his honour? |
| A12210 | And shall others that succeed after say, what ever it was then, now it is thus: and must we beleeve all? |
| A12210 | And shall we then in our distresses dist rust God for our souls, when we will trust a weak and mortall man with our bodies? |
| A12210 | And that he who knew no sin, should be made sinne for us? |
| A12210 | And what is faith, but a building on the promise of God? |
| A12210 | And why to them that love God? |
| A12210 | And would not Peter have bin glad, that hee had never denied his Master? |
| A12210 | Another Evill arising from the guiltinesse of sin, is anguish of mind, and a wounded spirit, which( saith Salomon) who can beare? |
| A12210 | Another signe is, To examine what desire wee have to be dissolved, and to be with Christ: Doe wee love his appearing to judgement? |
| A12210 | Are all the Promises of what kind soever, whether spirituall and outward, temporall or eternall, are they all made to us in Jesus Christ? |
| A12210 | Are there not many ● hat heare the Word, and know Gods mind, who yet profit nothing to amendment of life? |
| A12210 | As a branch out of the root; what sap is there is such a thing? |
| A12210 | As it was said of Christ when he stilled the Seas, Who is this that the very wind and Seas obey him? |
| A12210 | Before wee are anointed with the Spirit of Christ, with stablishing grace, what are we but a company of nasty abominable persons in the eyes of God? |
| A12210 | Besides, how can a man suffer willingly, that knowes not that God hath begun any good work in him? |
| A12210 | But here the maine question will be, and the difficulty arises, how all ill things can work together for the best to Gods children? |
| A12210 | But how doth God establish us by faith? |
| A12210 | But how shall I know whether I doe esteeme rightly of God or no? |
| A12210 | But how shall we know that we have the Spirit? |
| A12210 | But if all things( yea sin it selfe) shall turne to the best to those that love God, what need we then care for the committing of sinne? |
| A12210 | But let a man stagger and doubt whether hee belong to God or no, what a miserable case will he be in at the time of dissolution? |
| A12210 | But what is a Promise? |
| A12210 | But what needs confirmation when we beleeve? |
| A12210 | But what of that? |
| A12210 | But why doth the Spirit thus establish and seale us, and conveigh grace to our soules? |
| A12210 | But why the Spirit rather than the Father or the Sonne? |
| A12210 | But you will say, How can that be a seale? |
| A12210 | But you will say, doth not God doe many good things to them that are out of Christ? |
| A12210 | But you will say, what shall I account of my self, if there bee but a little signe of grace in me? |
| A12210 | Can any thing hurt us, when hee is become our loving Father? |
| A12210 | Can any thing satisfie us more than God? |
| A12210 | Can we have a greater happinesse than to be made one with Christ? |
| A12210 | Can we say wee love such a man when we care not for his company? |
| A12210 | Can wee spend our labours to better purpose? |
| A12210 | Christ seemes to insinuate as much, saying, What can I give you better than the Holy Ghost? |
| A12210 | Compare him with a man that hath present things only, with an Esau that abounds with worldly goods, and how great is the difference? |
| A12210 | David having beene thorowly humbled for sinne, when Shimei his subject cursed him to his face, how patiently did hee beare the same? |
| A12210 | Death( with the eternity of torment after it) who can looke it in the face without the assurance of a happy change? |
| A12210 | Didst thou belong to Christ, would ever these crosses,& losses, and miseries have befallen thee? |
| A12210 | Do not many spin a fine thred, and weave a faire web, when by their turnings and devices they turne themselves into hell? |
| A12210 | Doe wee delight to speak much and often of Christ, and the benefits we receive by him? |
| A12210 | Doth God love mee, doth hee doe good to my soule for my owne sake( abstracted from his Sonne?) |
| A12210 | Doth not he love us first of all? |
| A12210 | Doth not hee know better what is good for us, than we can possibly imagine what is good for our selves? |
| A12210 | Doth the truth vary according to mens judgements? |
| A12210 | For what are we made for, think you? |
| A12210 | For when the conscience of a guilty person is affrighted, what man can allay its feares? |
| A12210 | Fourthly, an ointment hath another property, it consecrates persons to holy uses? |
| A12210 | God had alwayes sealed ones, marked out for himselfe, whom he preserved from the danger of dark times; why then should wee be afraid of evill tidings? |
| A12210 | Hamans honor, what good did it to him, but only brought him to greater shame? |
| A12210 | Have wee not much to do and suffer in this life? |
| A12210 | He doth indeed, it can not bee denied; but are they blessings? |
| A12210 | He promiseth ease and refreshment, but to whom? |
| A12210 | How are we in Christ? |
| A12210 | How can that rest quiet in any thing, but in what it is assured comes from God? |
| A12210 | How can the Conscience be satisfied? |
| A12210 | How can the gates of hell prevaile against the faith of a true beleever, when it is carried to the promise, and from the promise to Gods love? |
| A12210 | How comfortably will the soule commend it self to Christ, when it finds it selfe stamped with the Spirit of Christ? |
| A12210 | How commeth it to passe, that death which is fearefull in it selfe, can not hurt us? |
| A12210 | How darest thou think of God who is a Consuming fire? |
| A12210 | How doth Heaven differ from Earth? |
| A12210 | How doth that appeare? |
| A12210 | How is it possible that we should give him the glory of his mercies, if we never observe them? |
| A12210 | How is it that all this sorrow and misery hath befallen mee, and lieth so heavie upon my soule? |
| A12210 | How is that done? |
| A12210 | How lumpish and dead is he under the crosse without this assurance? |
| A12210 | How many friends have we in him alone? |
| A12210 | How may a man know that hee hath a soule? |
| A12210 | How may a man obtaine this blessed guest to lodge in his soule and rule over him? |
| A12210 | How ought this to stay the soule under all its heavie pressures? |
| A12210 | How shall a man know whether God hath a part in him? |
| A12210 | How shall wee know that a man hath establishing grace? |
| A12210 | How shall wee know that there is such a spirituall sealing in us? |
| A12210 | How should wee be overwhelmed with despaire, did not the Spirit support us? |
| A12210 | I shall therefore demonstrate, 1 The truth of this, how it can be so? |
| A12210 | If God justifie us, who shall condemne us? |
| A12210 | If Luther had had no infirmities, how would men have attributed to him above measure? |
| A12210 | If the Promises layd hold on by faith, quicken and cheare the soule, what shall the accomplishment of them doe? |
| A12210 | If we have not something above nature, how is it possible wee should hold out in great trials? |
| A12210 | In the times of martyrdome, there was fire and faggot, and the frownes of bloudy men; but who were the persons suffering? |
| A12210 | Is Gods glory and the Churches welfare deare to us? |
| A12210 | Is any service comparable to the service of a Prince? |
| A12210 | Is it not a wounded spirit? |
| A12210 | Is it not because they rest upon the skill of the Physitian? |
| A12210 | Is it not for that they were so formerly stung with the sight and feeling of their sinnes? |
| A12210 | Is it not the errand of all Gods mercies to bring us neerer to him selfe? |
| A12210 | Is it possible that the love of God and the love of sinne shold ever stand together? |
| A12210 | Is not faith confirmation enough? |
| A12210 | Is not his love full and overflowing? |
| A12210 | Is not right, right? |
| A12210 | Is not the Law the Law? |
| A12210 | Is not the Word of Christ a word that alters not, but remaines stedfast to all eternity? |
| A12210 | Is there any thing that may or ought to challenge our love but Christ? |
| A12210 | Know wee not that all things here shall perish? |
| A12210 | Love is communicative; and what desire of communion can that soule have, that lives a stranger to his Maker? |
| A12210 | May we look for favour from God for any thing in our selves? |
| A12210 | Now therefore what kind of Good is this the Apostle meaneth? |
| A12210 | Now upon this blessed contract made in Christ to his Church; what followeth? |
| A12210 | Now what love can there be in God to us( since the fall,) which must not be grounded on a better foundation than our selves? |
| A12210 | Oh saith he, the Holy Ghost hath sealed me up to the day of redemption, shall I grieve and quench the same for this base lust? |
| A12210 | On the contrary, if a man have not something above nature in him, when death& judgement comes, how miserable is his condition? |
| A12210 | Pharaohs tenne Plagues( which might have humbled his soule) made him but worse and worse: therfore saith God, Why should I smite you any more? |
| A12210 | Put the case the stamp of the Prince be an old Coyne, is it not currant though it bee crackt? |
| A12210 | Put the case we can not shew the men as they rediculously urge; what is that to the purpose? |
| A12210 | Received ye the Spirit, by the hearing of the Law, or of faith preached? |
| A12210 | Sathan and all his instruments, what get they by their cruelty to the Saints? |
| A12210 | Shall present men interpret it thus, and say, it is so now? |
| A12210 | Shall the judgement of any man, be the rule of Gods unerring truth? |
| A12210 | So likewise for the Holy Ghost; what heavenly attributes are ascribed to him in the Scriptures? |
| A12210 | So that if thou dost outwardly only confesse God, what dost thou more than the Devill? |
| A12210 | The reason is this, how can poore dust and ashes dare to challenge any thing of the great Majesty of Heaven, without a warrant from himselfe? |
| A12210 | The second use for instruction is this; If such excellent and eminent Saints by sinne have fallen grievously? |
| A12210 | Therefore labour for certainty of knowledge, that thou maist have a certainty of faith: What is the reason our faith is weak? |
| A12210 | Therefore when wee place our love and joy in the world, do we not lose them too? |
| A12210 | This wound in spirit breedeth afterwards a sound spirit; Repentance is good,& Faith in Christ is good; But what doth prepare us to these happy graces? |
| A12210 | Those that live in sinnes against conscience, think we that these love God? |
| A12210 | Those therefore that goe on from day to day, without private speeches with God, or solacing of their soules in him, what affection have they to him? |
| A12210 | To live here only? |
| A12210 | Upon what unchangeable grounds is the love of God and the faith of a Christian builded? |
| A12210 | Wee shal know it by our choice, and our choice followes our judgement: Would wee know whether our judgement be good? |
| A12210 | What Prison can shut up the Spirit of God? |
| A12210 | What a King is this, that even the most terrible things are at his command and work for the best unto him? |
| A12210 | What a blessed estate is it to be in Christ? |
| A12210 | What a comfort is this, that wee may goe to God in Christ, and claime the Promises boldly? |
| A12210 | What a comfort is this? |
| A12210 | What a miserable perplexity must such a soule needs be in? |
| A12210 | What a wondrous comfort is this, that God hath put himselfe over to be ours? |
| A12210 | What are all friends in the world to the Holy Ghost? |
| A12210 | What are our souls without Gods anointing? |
| A12210 | What are the vertues of this oyntment? |
| A12210 | What are those graces which wee receive from Christs fulnesse? |
| A12210 | What became of Dives his riches? |
| A12210 | What comforts so great as those that are fetched from the Fountaine? |
| A12210 | What friend will bee content, that a man should only love him because he doth him good? |
| A12210 | What greater unkindnesse can a man doe his friend, than to slight his loving direction, and embrace the counsell of a professed ene mie? |
| A12210 | What is Hope, but the expectation of those things that the word saith? |
| A12210 | What is a man out of Christ? |
| A12210 | What is that stamp, that the Spirit seales us withall? |
| A12210 | What is the manner of our sealing by the spirit? |
| A12210 | What is the reason that Christians are so daunted and flie off in time of danger? |
| A12210 | What is the reason that many proud hearted persons are damned? |
| A12210 | What makes a man differ from himself and frō other men, but this? |
| A12210 | What need we feare any creature, when wee have him on our side, who hath both Men and Devils at his beck? |
| A12210 | What shall we doe? |
| A12210 | What? |
| A12210 | Whatsoever his estate and condition was, God turned it to the best: shall any man dare to mislike of Gods allowlowance? |
| A12210 | When David was in his greatest distresses; what desires had he then most in him? |
| A12210 | When a man carries about him the marke of the Spirit, what in the world can discourage such a soule? |
| A12210 | When we venture upon any thing against conscience, is there not a decay of our love to God? |
| A12210 | Whether is the spirit it selfe this seale, or the work of the spirit, and the graces thereof wrought in us? |
| A12210 | Whether tend all the troubles we meet with in this world? |
| A12210 | Why are the Angels attendants on us? |
| A12210 | Why do men in time of dangerous sicknesse take bitter Physick, which is almost death unto them? |
| A12210 | Why doe they then undergo such things as they loath at other times? |
| A12210 | Why is it called here an annointing? |
| A12210 | Why is it thus with thee, why art thou dejected in this manner? |
| A12210 | Why should not I be patient in sicknesse, in poverty, in dis graces, or why should I despaire at the houre of death? |
| A12210 | Why, saith the Apostle, bee it so? |
| A12210 | Will not God really and truly vouchsafe unto his people this earnest of the Spirit in their hearts? |
| A12210 | and are wee now fit for his comming? |
| A12210 | and prevent us with his favours? |
| A12210 | and what is it that makes us constant in duty,& carries us through so many oppositions as we meet withall, is it not love? |
| A12210 | and where were the foundation of faith? |
| A12210 | and wherefore doth hee still make intercession for us in Heaven? |
| A12210 | are these favours to them? |
| A12210 | can there be more sweetnesse in the streame, than in the spring? |
| A12210 | did not his abuse thereof plunge him deeper into hell? |
| A12210 | doth he not cloath, and feed, and protect wicked men daily? |
| A12210 | doth not the Sunne shine, and the raine fall, upon the just and the unjust, upon the evill, as well as the good? |
| A12210 | his greatnesse made him swell in pride, and his pride had a suddaine fall: What became of Herods high mind in taking to himselfe the glory of God? |
| A12210 | how hardly is corrupt selfe brought under? |
| A12210 | how then much more are we poore weak soules subject to fall, if wee neglect watchfulnesse over our selves? |
| A12210 | must we bring the strait Rule to the crooked Timber for to be measured? |
| A12210 | nay, become a curse to free us from the curse? |
| A12210 | no certainly; can we desire a more ample testimony of his favour, than he hath already bestowed upon us? |
| A12210 | or if thou canst not pray with distinct words, canst thou mourne and groane? |
| A12210 | shall wee despaire then? |
| A12210 | so vilified, so persecuted? |
| A12210 | that we should not doubt of his love, but rest securely upon him: why then doe we distrust the Almighty, who is truth it selfe, and never failed any? |
| A12210 | that wee should doubt of Gods love? |
| A12210 | they doe but encrease their own torment, and doe them the more good? |
| A12210 | was it not this, that they were not fitted and prepared for God? |
| A12210 | whatsoever is besides God, is but a creature, and can the creature be other than changeable? |
| A12210 | when a man may know by a private reflect act of the soule, that he is in the state of grace? |
| A12210 | wherefore did he die and rise againe? |
| A12210 | which when foolish people ascribed it to him, was hee not presently smitten, so as the wormes consumed him, and hee dyed a lothsome death? |
| A12210 | why doth that doe all? |
| A12210 | why, hee longed after the House of God: when the people were ready to stone him, wherein did he trust, but in the Lord his strong ● ower? |
| A30615 | ( but these things we have hinted) And then, where lies the chief Joy and chief Sorrow of mens hearts? |
| A30615 | 5. verse, it is said, That the King( speaking of Christ) is held in the galleries; now what''s that but in the Ordinances? |
| A30615 | 9. verse, Also I said it is not good that ye do, Ought ye not to WALK in the fear of our God? |
| A30615 | All but light afflictions, Why? |
| A30615 | An Earthly- minded man hath the curse of the Serpent upon him: What was that? |
| A30615 | And Lord, art thou in a way of mercy? |
| A30615 | And art thou in a way of affliction in my family, or in a way of mercy? |
| A30615 | And how came he to have his soul to prosper? |
| A30615 | Are not these your thoughts? |
| A30615 | Are they not good, and in themselves lawful? |
| A30615 | Are we under Gods way of judgments, in a way of afflictions? |
| A30615 | As how a man doth value himself and value others, is it not because that others, or your selves have much of the things of the earth? |
| A30615 | BUt having set out unto you the excellency of walking with God, you will say, Who is it that doth walk with Him? |
| A30615 | BUt you will say, How should we do to get this our Conversasation to be in Heaven? |
| A30615 | Be astonished O ye Heavens at this, and be horrible afraid, be ye very desolate saith the Lord, Why? |
| A30615 | But now, Do you reason thus for the things of Heaven? |
| A30615 | But now, I appeal to you, Who are you withal when you awake? |
| A30615 | But now, If you demand the reason, why it is that the Saints have their Conversations in Heaven? |
| A30615 | But now, if any one should say, May we not mind earthly things and heavenly things too? |
| A30615 | But what evidences can you shew? |
| A30615 | Can two walk together except they be agreed? |
| A30615 | Communion, you will say, what''s that? |
| A30615 | Do not we reade often, That Jesus Christ was God and Man, took mans nature upon him, and died for man? |
| A30615 | Doest thou come to the Word and there hear his voice? |
| A30615 | Doest thou desire no further glory in this world, but that I may have glory in? |
| A30615 | Else what shall they do that are baptized for the dead? |
| A30615 | Fourthly, Gods withdrawing of comfort is not alwaies the withdrawing of his presence: Thou maiest mistake, thou thinkest that God is withdrawn, why? |
| A30615 | God hath forsaken me and I''le forsake him? |
| A30615 | God sends but a little too much heat into the body, and puts thee into a feavour, and where''s thy delight then? |
| A30615 | Heavenly principles you will say, What are they? |
| A30615 | How did the Spirit of God begin to stir in me? |
| A30615 | How may any Causuality come and take away from thee al the things of the earth that thy mind is upon? |
| A30615 | I but you will say, For these things while we are upon the earth we have need of them, how can we do otherwaies but mind them? |
| A30615 | I will set my Tabernacle amongst you: What''s that? |
| A30615 | If it will not content thee, why is it that thy mind is so much upon the things of the earth? |
| A30615 | Indeed they do give contentment unto the flesh more than former waies, but doest thou think that the end of them will be peace? |
| A30615 | Is not God pleased to speak to thy soul out of his Word? |
| A30615 | Is the creature so sweet? |
| A30615 | Is the way like to end well that I am walking in? |
| A30615 | It is a very carnal expression that some have, Why? |
| A30615 | It may be, they would have said, is not this, To mind Earthly things? |
| A30615 | It seems that the Lord for the present to Davids apprehension had forsaken him: but what was Davids resolution? |
| A30615 | It was that that made Demas to be an Apostate; why? |
| A30615 | It''s an excellent Scripture; would you be built up in godliness? |
| A30615 | Know ye not that the love of the world is enmity to God? |
| A30615 | Let every Christian think thus, My Conversation is thus and thus; but what glory do I bring to God by my Conversation? |
| A30615 | Now I appeal to you in this, Do you live so, as that your family, and your neighbors may see that you have bin this morning in Heaven? |
| A30615 | Now except you do restore, you do wilfully continue in it; for why? |
| A30615 | Now is it not a blessed thing to be in safety alwaies with God? |
| A30615 | Now the soul that hath the liberty of walking with God, what a priviledg hath he? |
| A30615 | Now this being attainable in this life what hinders but a Christian may live in heaven whilst he lives upon earth? |
| A30615 | Now what is Earthly- mindednesse, but Covetousnesse, which is Idolaitry? |
| A30615 | Now what makes Heaven but God? |
| A30615 | Now what''s the Mercy- Seat but Jesus Chaist? |
| A30615 | Now you will say, we must not be insnar''d in the things of the earth: when is a mans heart spiritual? |
| A30615 | Now, what should be the life of a Christian, but a continual preparation for death? |
| A30615 | Oh are you not loth die before such time as you see some work of grace wrought in the hearts of your children? |
| A30615 | Oh do but examine what intercourse there hath been between Heaven and you: how is it with many of you? |
| A30615 | Oh thou that heretofore didst seem to converse with God, and to walk with him, what iniquity hast thou found with me saith God? |
| A30615 | Oh what will be the end of these waies that now thou art in? |
| A30615 | Our Conversation is in Heaven: what do all these things tend to? |
| A30615 | Psalm, 8. verse, I will keep thy Statutes; what then? |
| A30615 | Self: what''s that? |
| A30615 | Set your affections on things above, not on things on the earth: why? |
| A30615 | Shall thy mind and heart be set upon such things as are the portion of Reprobates? |
| A30615 | So may I say to all Christians, that would professe themselves Christians and godly; ought not ye to walk in the fear of our God? |
| A30615 | So what evil hast thou found in the waies of God? |
| A30615 | So, Oh that God would meet with such as are declining from the good waies of God, Oh thou soul whither art thou going? |
| A30615 | So, what''s your chief Joy, your profitting by the word, or gaining by your bargains? |
| A30615 | The work of Grace when it is first wrought, it hath the name of Vocation: Calling, what is it for a man to be called? |
| A30615 | Then saith God, Is it so? |
| A30615 | Then what shall he be that walks with God? |
| A30615 | Therefore you know what Christ saith, What shall it profit a man, to gain the whol world, and lose his soul? |
| A30615 | This is a special thing in walking with God, when they lie down to consider, Are my accompts even with God? |
| A30615 | Thou goest abroad, and art dangerously wounded by an enemy, what refreshing then doest thou receive from all these things? |
| A30615 | Thou hast a few names even in Sardis, which have not defiled their garments, What''s promised to them? |
| A30615 | Thou tellest my wandrings, put thou my tears into thy bottle, are they not in thy book? |
| A30615 | WHat Rules should be observed for a Christian''s walking with God? |
| A30615 | What Idolatry is there in it? |
| A30615 | What difference is there between the poor and rich when they die? |
| A30615 | What evidence have you that the saving work of grace is wrought in you? |
| A30615 | What is there in hell, but hatred and malice? |
| A30615 | What motions flowing in had I at such a time? |
| A30615 | What shall I do to please God? |
| A30615 | What was the reason when the young man came to Christ, to know what he should do to the Eternal life that he got no good? |
| A30615 | What''s done in Heaven, but the keeping of a perpetual Sabbath? |
| A30615 | What''s the glory of Heaven but the reflection of Gods presence upon Heaven that makes it so glorious? |
| A30615 | What''s to be done when Examples of Godly men are contrary? |
| A30615 | What? |
| A30615 | When he is in company with friends, is it so sweet to have society with men: how sweet is it to have society with God then? |
| A30615 | When is the bird in danger of the Lime- twig or Net but when she comes to pick below upon the ground? |
| A30615 | When we come to heaven, there we shall have dispositions sutable to heaven, but sure not till then? |
| A30615 | While thou art mudling in the world, and plodding for thy self in the things of this world, If God should come to thee and say, Where art thou? |
| A30615 | Whither was I going? |
| A30615 | Who did ever walk with God so as Christ did? |
| A30615 | Who were these? |
| A30615 | Why( you will say?) |
| A30615 | Would it not be a great benefit to the world if God should send some one Saint from Heaven, or Angel to converse in a bodily way among us? |
| A30615 | You know what Philip said, Let us see the Father, and it sufficeth us: What, would it suffice Philip to see God? |
| A30615 | You know, If you be walking from place to place, if you have good company with you, you are not weary, you account the journy nothing, why? |
| A30615 | You will say for this Idolatry, What is there in it? |
| A30615 | You will say, Do not these comfort our lives? |
| A30615 | You will say, What Rule doth the Apostle mean here? |
| A30615 | and are there no higher things to be had in God than such base things as thy heart is upon? |
| A30615 | and are your thoughts solicitous about this? |
| A30615 | and be rouling of sin and wickedness up and down in your thoughts? |
| A30615 | and how can that stand with such workings as I have had before? |
| A30615 | and that your sins are pardoned, and your souls justified? |
| A30615 | and what opportunities to present petitions to God? |
| A30615 | and what shall my graces that are in my soul be? |
| A30615 | and where dost thou think to find so much good as in Abraham''s family, where the presence of God is? |
| A30615 | are not you walking many times with the Devil, and making provision for the flesh? |
| A30615 | are these the waies that are like the former waies that thou hast seem''d to walk in? |
| A30615 | art thou going from thence? |
| A30615 | art thou satisfied with dogs meat? |
| A30615 | as he said to Adam; yea sometimes while thou art at prayer and hearing the Word, Where are thy thoughts, and about what? |
| A30615 | but have I it with the blessing of God? |
| A30615 | but then, take not only my soul, but my grace, the Divine Nature that is in my soul, what shall that be raised too? |
| A30615 | but what communion have I with God in them? |
| A30615 | but who are they that do so? |
| A30615 | can you say in your consciences, that you think that they that do so have their Conversations in Heaven, you will do as they do? |
| A30615 | can you value a poor man that is godly above the richest man that is wicked? |
| A30615 | canst thou attain to a more strict and holy Conversation than a Heavenly Conversation? |
| A30615 | do not you hear of many Saints of God that walk comfortably in the midst of all afflictions upon the assurance of Gods love? |
| A30615 | do others glorifie God by beholding the lustre of the holiness of God in me? |
| A30615 | do they see cause to blesse God that they see so much of the glory of God in me? |
| A30615 | doest thou come from Abraham''s family? |
| A30615 | doth God offer himself to walk and converse with you, and will you walk with the flesh, and converse with the Devil? |
| A30615 | even as if there were no Heaven at all? |
| A30615 | had not God higher thoughts in making of the children of men? |
| A30615 | hath not godliness the promises of this life as well as of that to come? |
| A30615 | have I any word from Jesus Christ to guide me in such a way? |
| A30615 | have not I cause to fear that I am but an Hypocrite, a rotten professor? |
| A30615 | have you so much time for the spending the very spirits of your souls upon the things of this earth, can you spare so many hours? |
| A30615 | how great is the sum of them? |
| A30615 | how sweet is God then? |
| A30615 | if thou hadst but thy thoughts often working this way, Wherefore do I think in my conscience hath God made the children of men, for what end? |
| A30615 | is it the losse of the light of the face of God, or the losse of an estate, the losse of a voyage, or the commission of a sin? |
| A30615 | is that possible? |
| A30615 | is the way that I am in like to the way that befeems an Immortal soul? |
| A30615 | is there nothing amisse between God and my soul? |
| A30615 | must I leave you now? |
| A30615 | shall I come before him with burns offerings? |
| A30615 | shall I give my first born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? |
| A30615 | shalt thou profess an interest in Christ? |
| A30615 | that you are at peace with God? |
| A30615 | that you are translated out of the kingdom of darknesse into the Kingdom of Jesus Christ? |
| A30615 | that you have shot the gulf? |
| A30615 | thou that hast had the Word working upon thy heart and thou wert seem''d to be turned into the good waies of God, whither art thou going? |
| A30615 | thy body being either too much heated, or too much coold, what''s become of all thy comfort here in this earth? |
| A30615 | we can not be Saints? |
| A30615 | we have the Prophesie of Isaiah, and Jeremiah, and other Prophets; but where the Prophesie of Enoch? |
| A30615 | what a seemly thing were it in those that come to hear the word when they depart that there should be no discourse but tending that way? |
| A30615 | what abundant enterance will be made into the everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? |
| A30615 | what are we doing? |
| A30615 | what comfort can I have in all the good things I have enjoyed? |
| A30615 | what converse with God have you had there? |
| A30615 | what do you loose through this earthlinesse? |
| A30615 | what evil would the over- charging of the heart which the cares of this life bring? |
| A30615 | what hath been this day between God and my soul? |
| A30615 | what is there in hell, but raging and filthiness? |
| A30615 | what need we labor to do so much? |
| A30615 | what news from Heaven? |
| A30615 | what shall people do then, when they see that either way holy men go in? |
| A30615 | what was Demas before? |
| A30615 | what were they mad men to rejoyce at the plundering of their estates? |
| A30615 | what would you take for the enjoyment of such an hour as that is? |
| A30615 | what''s become of Agrippa and Bernice with al their pagentry greatness? |
| A30615 | what''s my way; whither am I going? |
| A30615 | what''s that that doth most trouble your hearts? |
| A30615 | what''s the matter? |
| A30615 | whatsoever other men do, they do thus and thus, and seek to follow their own ends and waies, but ought not YE to walk in the fear of our God? |
| A30615 | when their goods were spoil''d, did they take that joyfully? |
| A30615 | when will that blessed day come when I shall come to enjoy those good things that are there? |
| A30615 | where''s the great workings of your spirits? |
| A30615 | who are you conversing withal? |
| A30615 | who had ever that fellowship with the Father and the Son so as Christ had? |
| A30615 | why hath he sent them hither into the world? |
| A30615 | wil not this be folly? |
| A30615 | will a Reprobates portion content thee? |
| A30615 | will it serve thee? |
| A30615 | will not you curse your selves hereafter for your folly? |
| A30615 | will the Lord be pleased with thousands of Rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of Oyl? |
| A30615 | with Calves of a yeer old? |
| A30615 | you should be walking with God: what are you the Saints of God? |
| 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 | Doest thou say, Here''s a great deal? |
| A77988 | Fourthly, It s a Sacrament of Communion with God, and Communion with the Saints; now what Communion hath Light and Darknesse? |
| A77988 | From whence is it that thou art unfit but from the temptation of the Devil? |
| 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 | Their parts act much before others, but what is there between God and their own Souls? |
| 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 if wee doe not sanctifie Gods name in this duty? |
| 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 I not then think what I hear out of the word to be true? |
| 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 say that you would fain withstand and not be overcome with temptations? |
| 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? |
| A77988 | will that hinder us from sanctifying Gods name in partaking of the Sacrament with them? |
| A77988 | would you give beleif unto the suggestions of the Devill then? |
| A77988 | you that have taken the body of Christ, have you given up your body to Christ? |
| A09970 | 1 Dost thou not hate the law? |
| A09970 | 10. for a new and a cleane heart? |
| A09970 | 12. lest Saint Paul should be exalted, there was given him a thorne in the flesh: if Saint Paul needed humility, who doth not? |
| A09970 | 12. of the thorne in the flesh? |
| A09970 | 13. was Paul crucified for you, or were you baptized into the name of Paul? |
| A09970 | 15, 16, 17. who( seeing an army comming against him and his master Elisha) he cries out, Alas, what shall we doe, if we goe on? |
| A09970 | 18. Who is a god like unto our God, that pard ● ● ● 〈 ◊ 〉 iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of thine heritage? |
| A09970 | 3 Againe, dost thou hate those that are like the Lord? |
| A09970 | 3. last, All things are yours; but upon what ground? |
| A09970 | 37. of those who were prickt in their hearts, crying out, what shall we do to bee saved? |
| A09970 | 4 Againe, dost thou not desire that there were no God? |
| A09970 | 5 Againe, dost thou not lie in some sin which thou knowest is a sinne? |
| A09970 | 5. and bidden us come with an empty hand? |
| A09970 | 51. cries out of his broken bones, and why? |
| A09970 | 51. how doth he hate it? |
| A09970 | 6 where we find him trembling and astonished, and saying, Lord what wil ● thou have me doe? |
| A09970 | 6. and the three last verses, and the beginning of the seventh Chapter, he is conversant among them; But you will say, is he not every where else? |
| A09970 | 9. the Apostle says, Know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdome of God? |
| A09970 | A carnall man and a regenerate man differ mainely, in this; that a carnall man, when hee is to doe any thing, askes what good will this bring to me? |
| A09970 | Againe secondly, I aske thee who is thy husband? |
| A09970 | Againe, Art thou fallen into poverty, into sicknes, into disgrace? |
| A09970 | Againe, I aske thee, what is it makes thee resolve to come in at death? |
| A09970 | Againe, I would aske thee, if this bee not also thy disposition, that thou hast no great delight to be where the Lord is? |
| A09970 | Againe, hath hee not beene satisfied and paid for our sinnes by CHRIST? |
| A09970 | Againe, if thou beest persecuted, and hast enemies to deale with( as who hath not that liveth godlily? |
| A09970 | Againe, secondly what doest thou, when there is a separation made, a partition betwixt the businesse of the Lord, and thine owne credit? |
| A09970 | And as CHRIST said, shall not I drinke of the Cup which my Father hath mingled? |
| A09970 | And doe you thinke that a little cast time spent upon it will be enough? |
| A09970 | And if you aske how you shall discerne you doe any thing faithfully? |
| A09970 | And let not any man complaine that he loseth a daies work; for is there any work so necessary, as the salvation of the soule? |
| A09970 | And now what rests, but that these Treatises crave shadow& protection from you, nay owne you for their Patron? |
| A09970 | And secondly, how much is there in that Word[ Crucified for you?] |
| A09970 | And shall we be discouraged for this? |
| A09970 | And the tryall of that lyeth especially upon this, what you make your utmost end? |
| A09970 | And what are the reasons why God respecteth humble men so? |
| A09970 | Art not thou the Lords servant? |
| A09970 | Art thou a Scholler, and hast studies to bring to perfection? |
| A09970 | As if he should have said to Moses, wouldest thou know the very inward disposition and frame of my soule? |
| A09970 | As if he should say, will you not believe? |
| A09970 | As if thou hast such a journey to go, say, yea but what sayes my husband to it? |
| A09970 | Aske thy heart, is it for the Lord, or for thy selfe? |
| A09970 | Be not discouraged then: what though the storme grow great and violent? |
| A09970 | Besides the things without, that which commeth on me daily, the care of all the Churches; who is offended, and I burne not? |
| A09970 | But I may pray? |
| A09970 | But here the great objection is, how it is possible for a man, not to seeke his owne happinesse, safety and advantage? |
| A09970 | But how shal that be done? |
| A09970 | But how shall I know what opinion I have of my selfe? |
| A09970 | But how shall a man be perswaded of this Gods readinesse to forgive? |
| A09970 | But how will he do it? |
| A09970 | But is a man bound to seeke God in every thing? |
| A09970 | But may not a man in his actions have an eye to God, and himselfe also? |
| A09970 | But may not a man make his owne happinesse his end, and doe what hee doth for his owne perfection? |
| A09970 | But may not a man provide for himselfe? |
| A09970 | But now the maine question is, how shall wee know whether we make the Lord our utmost end or no? |
| A09970 | But that you may doe this the more willingly, consider why men are ashamed of this profession, why? |
| A09970 | But then how should wee bee sanctified? |
| A09970 | But then if this objection come, why? |
| A09970 | But what is this turning with a mans whole heart? |
| A09970 | But you wil say, how may I bring my heart to feare the Lord? |
| A09970 | But you will aske, what it is to stirre up our graces? |
| A09970 | But you will object and say, can sinnes that have been committed cease to have beene committed, or cease to have been sins? |
| A09970 | But you will say, how can wee doe this, seeing it is the LORD that workes in us the will and the deed, and wee can doe nothing without the Spirit? |
| A09970 | But you will say, how is it, that calamities thus follow upon sinne? |
| A09970 | But you will say, how shall we doe to bring our heart to this? |
| A09970 | But you will say, is it not good to get that sensible stirring sence and sight of sinne? |
| A09970 | But you will say, is it possible, that I should bee forgiven, that have committed so many sinnes, so great, so hainous, and continued so long in them? |
| A09970 | But you will say, what doe you preach damnation to me? |
| A09970 | But you will say, what is to be put in? |
| A09970 | But you will say, who are those wicked men? |
| A09970 | But you will say: how shall wee get downe our stubborne hearts? |
| A09970 | By truth: but what truth? |
| A09970 | Can any unregenerate man in the world say, it is not I, but sin? |
| A09970 | Can the wall say, it hath brought forth the beames that the Sun hath cast upon it? |
| A09970 | Cleanse your hearts yee sinners,& c. but how should we doe it, would some say? |
| A09970 | Consider further the equity of it; for did not he the same for thee, which he requires of thee? |
| A09970 | Consider therefore in any busines thou doest, why thou doest it? |
| A09970 | Consider therefore these things seriously, and bring them home to your hearts; for to what end doe we preach? |
| A09970 | Consider whether thou doest them faithfully? |
| A09970 | Consider whether thou seekest thine owne things, or the things of IESUS CHRIST? |
| A09970 | Couldst thou not bee content that there were no heaven, no GOD, no Iudge at the last? |
| A09970 | Couldst thou not bee content to live for ever in this world, so that thou were happy here, and so there were no hell? |
| A09970 | Did it come from Gods providence, or not? |
| A09970 | Do you think it a small matter, to take an oath of God partly and in any degree in vaine? |
| A09970 | Doe you provoke the Lord to anger? |
| A09970 | Doest thou doe it diligently? |
| A09970 | Dost thou not know, that every such refusall of such an offer is so dangerous, as it may put thee into hazard of never having the like againe? |
| A09970 | Dost thou therefore live in some evill way or other, wherein thou dost allow thy selfe? |
| A09970 | Doth not the low and humble posture of your mind intitle you unto the first? |
| A09970 | First, are you not ashamed of the strictest ways of religion? |
| A09970 | For what are affections, but divers positions and scituations of the will and the feete it walkes upon? |
| A09970 | GOD saies there, it is true indeed, that if you come to any man in the world when his wife hath played the harlot, will he receive her againe? |
| A09970 | Had it not beene wisedome in him to have seene and acknowledged it before? |
| A09970 | Had not Ahab better have bee ● e without his Vineyard? |
| A09970 | Hast thou a healthfull body, a sure estate, many friends? |
| A09970 | Hath the LORD said it, and that from heaven; that if a man doe humble himselfe hee will forgive him? |
| A09970 | Have not wee cause then to spend o ● r time in feare, if hee dealt thus with David? |
| A09970 | How much more shall the bloud of Christ, who through the eternall spirit offered up himselfe to God, purge your consciences from dead workes? |
| A09970 | How much more wonderfull things are there to be seene in the Lord, if if he doth but reveale himselfe, and open your eys? |
| A09970 | I aske thee this question, whether art thou content to quit all thy sinnes presently upon assurance of being received, if thou dost? |
| A09970 | I doubt not but that Christ is willing, but what will God the Father do? |
| A09970 | I will aske you first whose servant art thou? |
| A09970 | I ● the Lord then so full of pitie and bowells to his owne people? |
| A09970 | If a man that is of an honest disposition should promise you a thing, you would believe him: and will you not believe me? |
| A09970 | If love to Christ, then it would sooner; if to thy selfe, how shall such conversion be accepted? |
| A09970 | If one come against you with ten thousand, and you meete him but with two thousand, who is like to get the victory? |
| A09970 | If the gate of heaven stood thus alwayes open, why then did God sweare in his wrath of some Israelites, that they should never enter into his rest? |
| A09970 | If you aske now what it is to be afflicted in measure? |
| A09970 | If you say, how shall I know for what sinne it is? |
| A09970 | Is all our labour lost, except we seeke Gods face, though otherwise a man goe never so farre? |
| A09970 | Is he not bound by promise to performe these to you that believe, as well as the other? |
| A09970 | Is hee not upon equall termes with thee, nay most unequall on his part? |
| A09970 | Is it easie to build a Temple to the Lord, and to keepe it cleane and in repaire? |
| A09970 | Is it easie to change and turne the course of nature? |
| A09970 | Is it of so much consequence to seeke God for himselfe? |
| A09970 | Is not the Lord Iesus? |
| A09970 | Is there a secret dislike of them, though thou knowest not why, an antipathy, though happily thou canst not give a reason of it? |
| A09970 | Is this the exercising of your callings, for the good of men? |
| A09970 | It hath indeed a contrary effect almost in all in the world; for whom doe not GODS mercies leade from him rather then to him? |
| A09970 | It is our fault to say, when we are afflicted, that we shall never see better daies: why so? |
| A09970 | It is well if it be so: But consider, hath thy humiliation brought thee home? |
| A09970 | Lastly, is the Lord thus mercifull to the humble? |
| A09970 | Let a man take paines with his heart from day to day, and consider what reasons there are by which a mans heart may be taken off from his sin? |
| A09970 | Lord spare them( sayes hee) and if it be, but for thy Names sake, for what will all the Nations say? |
| A09970 | Neither complaine, that a daies study is lost, for is there any excellency to the saving Image of God stampt on the heart? |
| A09970 | Now if they should aske how it comes to passe that they are his? |
| A09970 | Now if you aske the reasons why it is so, that God deales thus with his Children in afflictions? |
| A09970 | Now to love a mans selfe, what is it but to seeke a mans owne good? |
| A09970 | Now what is said of one grace, is true of all: so then examine thy selfe, how comes sinne in into thee? |
| A09970 | Now what is the end of all husbandry? |
| A09970 | Put case, any of the old Prophets should come to thee, or any man in particular, and say, wilt thou bee content now to turne to GOD? |
| A09970 | Seest thou a man given up to a lust, his heart so cemented to it, as hee can not live without it? |
| A09970 | So Christ, when he would humble Paul, he tells him of his persecution, Why persecutest thou me? |
| A09970 | So God aggravated to Adam his sin, did not I command thee the contrary? |
| A09970 | So when all the people murmured at the red Sea, what was the reason that Moses was quiet all that while when they murmured? |
| A09970 | Take a man accustomed to idlenesse, is it easie for him to become laborious and diligent in his calling? |
| A09970 | Take a man that makes wealth or honour his God, take that prop from him, and how doth his heart sinke within him? |
| A09970 | That place may encourage us, Iames 4, 5, 6. doe you thinke the Scripture sayes in vaine, The spirit that is in us lusteth after envie? |
| A09970 | The Prophet had exhorted them to learne to doe well,& c. But the people might object: What shall wee bee the nearer for all this? |
| A09970 | The question is how shall we doe to distinguish this? |
| A09970 | There are two arguments more to helpe us in this, If hee should marke what is done amisse, who should stand? |
| A09970 | Thirdly sayes he, who is offended, and I burne not? |
| A09970 | This evill is of the Lord, and what should I wait on the Lord any longer? |
| A09970 | What cause have we then to feare? |
| A09970 | What is a serpent without a sting? |
| A09970 | What is faith, but a laying hold of Christ? |
| A09970 | What is it able to procure for us? |
| A09970 | What is the reason why to men in jeopardy, as in a storme at Sea and in the time of sicknesse their sins then appeare so terrible and fearefull? |
| A09970 | What therefore shall wee say, to set an edg upon your affections, to seeke the Lords person? |
| A09970 | What though God hath used thee in some great worke, and not others? |
| A09970 | What though your sinnes bee great and in their owne thoughts unpardonable, and you thinke them greater then can bee forgiven? |
| A09970 | What was Pauls making, but his going from prison to prison? |
| A09970 | What was the reason Abraham and Moses sought the Lord thus for himselfe? |
| A09970 | What was the reason of Salomons troubles? |
| A09970 | What was the reason, that the Spouse in the Canticles, Chapter 5. was so sicke of love, that she could not containe her selfe? |
| A09970 | What wayes? |
| A09970 | When therefore thou commest to preach the Gospell or studiest, consider thine end, whether for God or no? |
| A09970 | Why doe we trouble our selves so much about the creatures, feare this man and that man, and thinke a little credit or preferment a great matter? |
| A09970 | Yea shall I goe further? |
| A09970 | You will aske what hurt? |
| A09970 | You will say, how shall we know that? |
| A09970 | a Tradesman, and hast enterprises to bring to passe? |
| A09970 | and after thy recovery, didst thou not returne to them againe with as much greedinesse as ever? |
| A09970 | and besides this his first buying of thee, who gives thee thy wages, and provides for thee, meat, drinke, and cloathing? |
| A09970 | and didst thou not know thou shouldest not? |
| A09970 | and how did Rebecca also for all that while want the comfort of a sonne shee loved, and had none to live with but Esau? |
| A09970 | and if so, what cause is there wee should now seek the Lords presence? |
| A09970 | and if thou beest his wife, oughtest thou not to seek his things? |
| A09970 | and is there not reason thou shouldest serve him alone? |
| A09970 | and open and breake the clods of his ground, when hee hath made plaine the face thereof? |
| A09970 | and should not the servant seek the profit of his master? |
| A09970 | and to some disadvantage in thy wealth? |
| A09970 | and was fenced against it? |
| A09970 | and what is it hee calls thee to deny thy selfe in? |
| A09970 | and what is the motive of his permission but sinne? |
| A09970 | and what is the reason that God said of those that were invited to the feast, but refused to come, that they should never taste of it? |
| A09970 | and when it is come in, does it continue master? |
| A09970 | and will make every one to consider, to what end have I done all, have I knowne the Lord, and been acquainted with him? |
| A09970 | and your holy and spotlesse carriage, to the third? |
| A09970 | are not all times in Gods hands? |
| A09970 | are thy affections troubled, that thou hast offended God in it, that something is gone from God in it, or rather that something is gone from thy self? |
| A09970 | are you harlots or Virgins? |
| A09970 | are you stronger than hee? |
| A09970 | art in straights? |
| A09970 | art thou yet then as carefull? |
| A09970 | because men doe speake evill of you, but is this a good reason? |
| A09970 | but I am still haunted, and I doe not overcome? |
| A09970 | but yet what do these hornes serve for but to push them home to the Lord? |
| A09970 | comes it in by stealth, or by violence onely? |
| A09970 | consider them, canst thou not speake and confesse them? |
| A09970 | did not hee make him selfe poore to make thee rich? |
| A09970 | doe they not often suffer a storm; are they not often scortched with the heate of reproach? |
| A09970 | doe we not see them afflicted? |
| A09970 | doe you thinke that any but a sound hearted man, can come as he did with teares to Christ, that cryed out so to him, Lord helpe my unbeliefe? |
| A09970 | doest thou thinke that thou art plowed longer then thouneedest? |
| A09970 | dost thou desire to have it done, though another man doe it? |
| A09970 | dost thou not wish that the Law were not so strict, and that it gave more liberty? |
| A09970 | doth he not cast abroad the fetches? |
| A09970 | doth not God observe all, look on, and with approbation? |
| A09970 | doth not he give thee thy wages? |
| A09970 | for did not hee empty himselfe of that eternall glory and happinesse, which he enjoyed with his Father and might have then enjoyed? |
| A09970 | hath it driven thee to the City of refuge? |
| A09970 | have I sought Gods face in all that I have done? |
| A09970 | how canst thou looke to have thy prayers heard, thy sinnes forgiven? |
| A09970 | how could you have the face to doe it? |
| A09970 | how did Abraham save his sonne, but by being content to offer him? |
| A09970 | how much more, when the true God shall bee departed from a man? |
| A09970 | if a man sees a company of sheep, and he askes whose sheep are these? |
| A09970 | if hee calls thee to beare the crosse for him, did not hee beare a greater crosse for thee? |
| A09970 | if none, he layes it a side: but a godly man( so farre as he is godly) asketh this question, whether it is commanded by God? |
| A09970 | if thou answerest no, art thou not worthy to bee destroyed? |
| A09970 | if wee be such great sinners as you have even now declared us to bee? |
| A09970 | if yes, is not this great comfort? |
| A09970 | if you aske grace, will he give you up to your lusts? |
| A09970 | in the Low countries? |
| A09970 | is it for his glory and advantage? |
| A09970 | is it not fruit? |
| A09970 | is it not the Lord? |
| A09970 | is it that thou hast got some discredit to thy selfe in the performance of it? |
| A09970 | is not God able to remove it? |
| A09970 | may he have no respect to himselfe? |
| A09970 | may wee have no hope left? |
| A09970 | not to aske forgivenesse onely, but to aske such a kindnesse, such a favour at my hands also? |
| A09970 | or doest thou looke for all thy happinesse from the Lord alone? |
| A09970 | or that God hath had no more glory by it? |
| A09970 | perhaps it hath brought thee out of Aegypt, but hath it brought thee into Canaan? |
| A09970 | sanct ● fied me, and redeemed me and set me at liberty, when I was a bond slave of sinne and Sathan, and have I not reason to love him? |
| A09970 | sayes another to him, such a mans; for he hath bought and paid for them; and hath not Christ bought thee? |
| A09970 | scatter the cummin, the wheat, and the rie? |
| A09970 | shall the pen boast it selfe, because it hath written a faire Epistle? |
| A09970 | should it seeme strange to us? |
| A09970 | that is, was not Christ crucified? |
| A09970 | the wall is the same: so if God hath shined upon thee, and left others in darknesse, art thou the better of thy selfe? |
| A09970 | to forsake a friend or two? |
| A09970 | to prevent this the Prophet tells them, what though their sinnes bee great and bloudie sins, of the deepest dye of guilt? |
| A09970 | to the hornes of the Altar? |
| A09970 | to thy fathers house? |
| A09970 | turne from our evill wayes? |
| A09970 | was there ever any duty which thou hadst a thought to doe, that thou couldest say, thou couldest not doe it? |
| A09970 | what are the impediments? |
| A09970 | what if he should do it in France? |
| A09970 | what if in England? |
| A09970 | what is a great bulk, if it have no waight? |
| A09970 | what profit, what credit shall I have by doing it? |
| A09970 | when any thing is to bee done for the Lord Iesus, doest thou doe it with all thy might? |
| A09970 | who brings it? |
| A09970 | who gives it? |
| A09970 | who made it? |
| A09970 | who put inke into it, guided it? |
| A09970 | why do I do it thus and thus, and not in a better manner? |
| A09970 | why thou art at so much paines and cost in it? |
| A09970 | why thou undertakest it? |
| A09970 | will you leave us desperate? |
| A09970 | your high opinion of free grace, unto the second? |
| A12167 | ( as the Apostle reasons) shall I defile my vessell with sinne? |
| A12167 | 6. Who is this that commeth out of the wildernesse like pillars of smoake, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the Merchant? |
| A12167 | 6. there are seven hornes and seven eyes which are the seven spirits of God, here Christ the lambe hath seven eyes and seven hornes: what be these? |
| A12167 | 6. you have his love set forth, Hee loved us, and how doth he witnesse it? |
| A12167 | A Christian as soone as ever he becomes a Christian, and ever after to death and in death too, he gives up himselfe to Christ? |
| A12167 | A turning of Christs speech to the winds to blow upon his Garden: with the End, why? |
| A12167 | And againe, Observe it against our Adversaries: What say they? |
| A12167 | And as it is an argument that God heares our prayers, so is it of the presence of Christ; for how could wee pray but from his inward presence? |
| A12167 | And here how excellently is the expression of Christs mercie, love, and patience set out? |
| A12167 | And how was hee used in the Apostles that were after him, and in the Ministers of the Church ever since, What have they indured? |
| A12167 | And indeed wherein doth the Church differ from other grounds, but that Christ hath taken it in? |
| A12167 | And is it love lost? |
| A12167 | And is it not fit that Christ should eat fruit of his owne vine, have comfort of his owne Garden, to tast of his owne fruits? |
| A12167 | And is it not monstrous in Grace? |
| A12167 | And it is an odious temper to God; for doth not hee deserve cheerefull service at our hands? |
| A12167 | And reason the matter, how doth this that I am mooved to suite with my Hopes and expectation to come? |
| A12167 | And this also should move us, to be fruitfull, for men will indure a fruitlesse tree in the wast wildernesse, but in their garden who will indure it? |
| A12167 | And we have need of feeding as well as breeding: where dost thou feed? |
| A12167 | And what greater love, then the love of the soule? |
| A12167 | And what shall wee loose by it? |
| A12167 | And withall, labour for abundance of the Spirit of God, for what makes men sleepie, and drowsie? |
| A12167 | And yet whose imployment is greater, then the imploiment of the cheife Magistrate? |
| A12167 | Are not two loving well- wishers well met? |
| A12167 | Are the discouragements from impossibilities? |
| A12167 | Are wee affraid of men? |
| A12167 | Are wee allured by the world? |
| A12167 | Aske such ones doe you love God, his Children, and his Word? |
| A12167 | Because the former question, namely, What is Christ? |
| A12167 | Beloved, Is Christ an excellent golden head and shall he have a base body? |
| A12167 | Blessed are they that hunger and thirst,& c. But I am emptie of all? |
| A12167 | But How shall we know that Christ is present in us? |
| A12167 | But I am stung vvith the sence of my sinnses? |
| A12167 | But I shall loose my pleasure? |
| A12167 | But how can it be the Churches, when it is not in the Church, but in Christ? |
| A12167 | But how com ● ● th ● hee to be thus faire? |
| A12167 | But how doth he knocke? |
| A12167 | But how lovingly doth he speake to her? |
| A12167 | But how shal we know that God heares our Prayers? |
| A12167 | But how shall we know that Christ loves us in this peculiar manner? |
| A12167 | But how shall we know, whether we be espoused to Christ, or not? |
| A12167 | But shee is blacke? |
| A12167 | But some may object, Christ can open to himselfe, why doth he not take the key and open, and make way for himselfe? |
| A12167 | But to what end must these winds blow upon the Garden? |
| A12167 | But what if we doe not kisse him, and subject our selves to him; love him and beleeve in him? |
| A12167 | But what is the ground of such love? |
| A12167 | But what is this to us or to the Church? |
| A12167 | But what is this white and ruddie: what is beauty? |
| A12167 | But why is the Church thus earnest? |
| A12167 | But you will say, How doth this appeare when in some desertion a Christian finds no grace, strength, or comfort at all? |
| A12167 | But, How can this be that there should be conscience of sinne, and no conscience of sinne, a sinner, and yet a perfect Saint and undefiled? |
| A12167 | But, How is that? |
| A12167 | But, What defence hath Gods poore Church? |
| A12167 | But, Why is the Church compared to a Garden? |
| A12167 | C ● n a mother forget her sucking child, if she should yet will not I forget thee? |
| A12167 | Can I hope to find that of God, that others can not find from me? |
| A12167 | Can I love Christ, and can not I love him in whom I see Christ? |
| A12167 | Can a mother forget her child? |
| A12167 | Can they blindfold him in Heaven that hath this sharp eye? |
| A12167 | Can we see more in our selves, then hee doth? |
| A12167 | Can we thinke he will suffer us to want that which is needfull? |
| A12167 | Can we want righteousnesse, while we have Christs Righteousnesse, is not his garment large enough for himselfe and us too? |
| A12167 | Christ can open to himselfe, and wee have no free will, nor power to open? |
| A12167 | Consider whence they come? |
| A12167 | David wonders at his owne love, Oh how I love thy law, oh how aimeable are thy Tabernacles? |
| A12167 | Did Christ ever turne back any that came unto him, if they came out of a true sence of their wants? |
| A12167 | Did ever soule love Christ more then that woeman that had so many Divels cast out of her? |
| A12167 | Did hee ayme at these imperfect beginnings to rest there? |
| A12167 | Doe they take such courses that are wiser then I, and shall not I take the like course too? |
| A12167 | Doe wee entertaine Christ to our losse? |
| A12167 | Doth Christ by his Spirit discover the secret love the hath borne to us before all worlds? |
| A12167 | Doth any man so love his creditor as he that hath much debt forgiven him? |
| A12167 | Doth he delight in strangenesse, that makes all this Love to a Christians soule? |
| A12167 | Doth hee come emptie? |
| A12167 | Doth our love to God abide for ever; and doth not his love to us whence it commeth? |
| A12167 | Excuses from Oxen, Wives,& c. Was it not lawfull to buy Oxen? |
| A12167 | First, Christ doth use sometimes to leave his Church, as here he doth, My Beloved had withdrawne himselfe,& c. But what kind of leaving is it? |
| A12167 | First, those that are not yet in Christ, not contracted to him to draw them; what can prevaile more then that which is in Christ? |
| A12167 | For what hath beene the food in Popery? |
| A12167 | For would men suffer idle words, yea filthy and rotten talke to come from their mouths if they were awake? |
| A12167 | Hath Christ no affections now he is in Heaven, to her that is so neere him as the Church is? |
| A12167 | Hath Christ thus infinitly loved us, and shall not wee backe againe make him our love? |
| A12167 | Hee hath but two houses to dwell in; the Heavens, and the heart of an humble broken hearted sinner; How can Christ come into the soule? |
| A12167 | Hee hath done the greater and vvill he not doe the lesse? |
| A12167 | Hee loved mee( saith Paule) what was the effect of his love? |
| A12167 | Hovv shall vve knovv that the Word is the Word of God? |
| A12167 | How carefull is God of us, by this private way to prevent future shame? |
| A12167 | How doe we value Christ, what price doth the Church set on him? |
| A12167 | How doth Faith overcome the world? |
| A12167 | How graciously Christ doth deale with us, That he doth alwayes leave some grace, before hee doth offer to depart? |
| A12167 | How is it with our affections, and bent to good things? |
| A12167 | How know we that the fire is hot? |
| A12167 | How long hath he waited for our conversion? |
| A12167 | How many mercies doe we enjoy? |
| A12167 | How many severall tempers hath the Church beene in? |
| A12167 | How much more shall Christ himselfe, where he is present, come with Graces and comfort? |
| A12167 | How shall I know whether God regard my prayers or not? |
| A12167 | How shall we carry our selves when it falls out that our hearts faile of that we seek for, whē we pray without succes& find not a presēt answer? |
| A12167 | How shall we do to keep& preserve our soules in this waking condition, especially in these drowsietimes? |
| A12167 | How shall we know light to be light? |
| A12167 | How with our hatred, our zeale? |
| A12167 | I am laden, and vvretched? |
| A12167 | I answer, Indeed there is difference, Whence comes that difference? |
| A12167 | I have no time( saith the worldling) what will you have mee to do? |
| A12167 | I have planted thee a noble vine, how art thou then come to be degenerated? |
| A12167 | I have put of my coate, how shall I put it on? |
| A12167 | I have put of my coate, how shall I put it on? |
| A12167 | I have put of my coate, how shall I put it on? |
| A12167 | I have washed my feet, how shall I defile them? |
| A12167 | I have washed my feet, how shall I defile them? |
| A12167 | I have washed my feete, how shall I defile them? |
| A12167 | I have washed my feete, how shall I defile them? |
| A12167 | I have washed my feete, ● ow shall I defile them to rise and open the doore to thee? |
| A12167 | I was then perhaps too indiscreete, now wilt thou call me againe to those troubles, that I have wisely avoyded? |
| A12167 | I. Whither is thy Beloved gone O thou fairest among women? |
| A12167 | If God love us thus, what must we doe? |
| A12167 | If a man be in love with Christ, what will be harsh to him in the world? |
| A12167 | If he giveth himselfe will he not give all things with himselfe? |
| A12167 | If the Sister should shut out the Brother, were it not most unnaturall? |
| A12167 | If the eye of their soules were awake, would they runne into these snares, that their owne Consciences tells them are so? |
| A12167 | If they be bad, why doe I doe them at all? |
| A12167 | If they be good, why doe I not doe them? |
| A12167 | If they be good, why doe I stick at them? |
| A12167 | If we should aske what is the reason there be so many, that Apostatize, fall away, grow prophane, and are so unfruitfull under the Gospell? |
| A12167 | If we study to please men in whom there is but little good; should we not much more study to please Christ the fountaine of goodnesse? |
| A12167 | If you aske, why wee must grow up and bee fed still? |
| A12167 | In choosing us, what did God ayme at? |
| A12167 | In former times when they had not the Scriptures, and the comforts of them to feed on, what did the poore soules then? |
| A12167 | In himselfe and in his owne blessed person, what did he endure? |
| A12167 | In the next place, are we ready to suffer for Christ? |
| A12167 | In this case God will not regard our prayers, as it is said; I care not for your Prayers, or for any service you performe to me: why? |
| A12167 | In this sweet Conjunction we must know, that by nature, we are cleane otherwaises then Spouses for what was Salomons wife Pharoahs daughter? |
| A12167 | Is he fit to be united to a golden head that is a common drunkard, a swearer, that is a beast in his life and conversation, is this sutable? |
| A12167 | Is heere the Spirit of Christ? |
| A12167 | Is it not a comfort to know where to feed and to have pastures to goe to, without suspition of poyson? |
| A12167 | Is it not a wonder we stand so long, when Cities, stone walls fall, and Kingdomes come to suddaine periods? |
| A12167 | Is it not better to take shame to our selves now, than to be shamed hereafter before Angels, Divels and Men? |
| A12167 | Is it not equall, that hee should bid us, Depart yee cursed I know you not? |
| A12167 | Is it not more for outward things, then for inward? |
| A12167 | Is there any harbour for me to rest in mine owne Righteousnesse? |
| A12167 | Is there any love in an Husband, a Brother, a Mother, a Friend, in an Head to the members? |
| A12167 | Is there any thing truely and cordially hated but Grace? |
| A12167 | Is there more love and mercy, and pittie in us to those that we take neere us, then there is in Christ to us? |
| A12167 | Is there such love in God, to become man, and to be a Sutor to vvoe me for my love? |
| A12167 | Let us therefore discerne of our estate in grace by this, how do we relish divine truths? |
| A12167 | Men are pleas''d with answering the bill of accusation against them thus ▪ are we no ● baptised? |
| A12167 | My God my God, why hast thou forsaken mee? |
| A12167 | My bowels were mooved in mee,& c. What was that? |
| A12167 | No, I have put of my coate, how shall I put it on? |
| A12167 | Now what meanes of knocking hath hee not used among us a long time? |
| A12167 | Now what patience is there in Christ to suffer himselfe in his messengers, and his children to be thus used? |
| A12167 | Now whence came all this? |
| A12167 | Now you may say, Why is shee so exact in reckoning up so many particulars of her Beloved, his Head, Lockes, Eyes, Lips, and such like? |
| A12167 | O But what kind of man was he? |
| A12167 | Oh, since I am thus undefiled shall I rest in my selfe? |
| A12167 | Or if men be great, why this is not honourable to do thus, as you know what Michall said to David, How glor ● ous was the King of Israell this day? |
| A12167 | Propound unto them waking considerations, What causeth our sleepes, but want of matters of more serious observation? |
| A12167 | Psalme is to that purpose, O how aymiable are thy Tabernacles O Lord of hosts? |
| A12167 | Recreations are lawfull, who denies it? |
| A12167 | S ● ● l S ● ● l why persecutest thou mee? |
| A12167 | Saul Saul why persecutest thou me? |
| A12167 | Saul Saul why persecutest thou mee? |
| A12167 | Shall I look for mercy that have no mercifull heart my selfe? |
| A12167 | Shall a good christian be Chists love, and shall he be the object of my hatred and scorne? |
| A12167 | Shall hee make men tender and carefull over others, and shall not he himselfe be carefull of his owne flock? |
| A12167 | Shall the Church of God be the love of Christ, and shall it be our hatred? |
| A12167 | Shall we thinke much then to waite a little while for him? |
| A12167 | Shall we utterly distaste a Christian for that? |
| A12167 | Si tuo tempore hec dicebas( O sapiens Au ● us ● ine) quid nostra tempestate d ● xisses? |
| A12167 | So if you aske, How we know the Word of God to be the Word of God? |
| A12167 | Summer and Winter arise from the presence and absence of the sunne: what causeth the Spring to be so cloathed withall those rich ornaments? |
| A12167 | Surely thinks the soule then, he desires my Salvation, and Conversion; And to vvhat kind of persons doth he come? |
| A12167 | That we may further improove this point, Is Christ altogether lovely, so lovely to us and so beloved of God the Father? |
| A12167 | That which is most precious is most communicating, as the Sunne a glorious creature, what doth so much good as it? |
| A12167 | The Church here from what doth shee commend her Beloved? |
| A12167 | The Church stood upon tearmes with Christ when he would have come in to her, but what ensued hereupon? |
| A12167 | The Lord is my Shepheard, and what is the use that David presently makes hereof? |
| A12167 | The Question asked is, What is thy Beloved more then anothers Beloved, O thou fairest among woemen? |
| A12167 | The Spouse there is cloathed with the Sunne, with the beames of Christ: but is that all? |
| A12167 | The child of God is cast downe when he finds not the presence of God as he was wo ● ● t, his spirits faile? |
| A12167 | The consideration hereof made her ashamed of her selfe, what so excellent, so deserving a person as my beloved is to me, to be used of me so? |
| A12167 | The honours pleasures and profits that are got by base ingagements to the humours of men, what are these to Christ? |
| A12167 | Then the second Question is, whither is thy Beloved gone? |
| A12167 | Therefore why doe wee murmure at the crosse, when all is to recover our spirituall taste and rellish? |
| A12167 | This drew the Disciples in admiration to say, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the seas obey him? |
| A12167 | This fruitlesse estate being often watered from heaven, how fearefully is it threatned by the Holy Ghost? |
| A12167 | This here in the text is not such, but a Question tending to further resolution and satisfaction, What is thy Beloved more then another Beloved? |
| A12167 | This is one thing that may humble us of this place and nation, that Christ hath no further entrance, nor better entertainement after so long knocking? |
| A12167 | This was a noble resolution which was in good Nehemiah, Shall such a man as I flie? |
| A12167 | To come in particular, what is that good the Church here confesseth, when shee saith, that her heart waketh? |
| A12167 | To come to make an Use of Direction, how to come to be able to say this, I am my Beloveds and my Beloved is mine? |
| A12167 | To him that hath shall be given: what is that? |
| A12167 | Upon the Crosse, what did hee indure there? |
| A12167 | VVhither is he gone, how shall I get Christ? |
| A12167 | Variant: cancellandum(?) |
| A12167 | Was not he ashamed of us, and shall we be ashamed to owne him and his cause? |
| A12167 | We are bidden to delight in the Lord, and in whom should we delight, but where all fullnesse is to be had to delight in? |
| A12167 | We may love our friends( and we ought to doe so) and other blessings of God, but how? |
| A12167 | Wee know what I ● hu said to Ionadab, when he would have him into his Chariot, Is thine heart as mine, then come to mee? |
| A12167 | Were they awake, would they ever doe thus? |
| A12167 | What a blessed estate is this? |
| A12167 | What a blessed estate is this? |
| A12167 | What a comfort was it to Iosephs brethren that their brother was the second person in the kingdome? |
| A12167 | What a most blasphemous thought were this to conceive so? |

| A12167 | What a world of incouragements hath a Christian? |

| A12167 | What is in our joy, if Christ bee not there? |
| A12167 | What is in the braine where Christ is not? |
| A12167 | What is the matter that such a one is so earnest, so carefull, watchfull laborious inquisitive? |
| A12167 | What is the reason hee shunnes his owne conscience: that he is loath to heare the just and unanswerable accusations that it would charge upon him? |
| A12167 | What is the reason hee shunnes the sight of holier and better menthen himselfe? |
| A12167 | What is the reason of discomforts, unresolvednesse, and unsetlednesse? |
| A12167 | What is thy Beloved more than another Beloved? |
| A12167 | What is thy Beloved more then another Beloved, O thou fairest among woemen, what is thy Beloved more then another Beloved that thou dost so charge us? |

| A12167 | Whom should we rather desire to be like then one so great so gracious so loving? |
| A12167 | Why Lord? |
| A12167 | Why are we discouraged therefore; and why are we cast downe, when we have such a powerfull and such a gracious God to go to in all our extremities? |
| A12167 | Why doth he give unto her the name of Spouse, and Sister but that he would be kinde, and loving, and that we should conceave so of him? |

| A12167 | Why? |
| A12167 | Why? |
| A12167 | Will not a fowle that hath wings, avoyde the snare? |
| A12167 | Will such excuses serve the turne? |
| A12167 | Will the flesh indure this, thinke you? |
| A12167 | Would a waking man runne into a pit? |
| A12167 | Would we have our hearts to love Christ, to trust in him, and to embrace him, why then thinke what is hee to us? |
| A12167 | Yes, for what doe corrections speak ●, but amendment of the fault we are corrected for? |
| A12167 | and doe we not come to Church? |
| A12167 | and doth not his mercy deserve, that our love should take all care, to serve him that is so gratious and good to us? |
| A12167 | and hath not a Christian more cause to boast in God and in Salvation? |
| A12167 | and take a base, ignoble, beggerly person? |
| A12167 | and that he should take us into one Body with himselfe, to make one Christ? |
| A12167 | and they double it, what is thy Beloved more then another Beloved that thou so chargest us? |

| A12167 | that nothing is left? |
| A12167 | the want of spirits, wee are dull, and overloaden with grosse humours, whereby the strength sinkes and failes? |
| A12167 | were it not a mad part? |
| A12167 | what a spirit of slumber possesseth us, which will be awaked with nothing to seeke after Christ? |
| A12167 | what did I choose, and what did I leave? |
| A12167 | what indignity is this? |
| A12167 | what is the reason ▪ this second question is seldome made? |
| A12167 | what patience had hee in enduring the refractorie spirits of men when he was here? |
| A12167 | what shall J flie? |
| A12167 | when our Brother comes for our good, and in pittie to our soules to let him stand without doores? |
| A12167 | where is this stirring up of our selves, and one another upon these grounds? |
| A12167 | whether is thy beloved turned aside, that we may seeke him with thee? |
| A12167 | whither is thy Beloved turned aside that we may seeke him with thee? |
| A12167 | why were men then so violent to cleave unto Christ? |
| A12167 | why what time had David when hee meditated on the Law of God day and night? |
| A12167 | would you have better food? |
| A12167 | 〈 ◊ 〉 shall we do that? |
| A09977 | 1 First, why doth GOD produce no infinite thing, no infinite effect? |
| A09977 | 2 Though the immediate cause produceth the effect; yet, who is the first cause? |
| A09977 | 3 If there be such a God that made the Heaven and the Earth; what is the reason then, that wee see things are brought to passe by naturall causes? |
| A09977 | 4 If things had no beginning, if the world was from eternitie; what is the reason there are no monuments of more ancient times, than there are? |
| A09977 | 4, and 8, 9. together: In the latter dayes there shall come scoffers,& c. saying, where is the promise of his comming? |
| A09977 | 40. he addes, To whom will you liken GOD? |
| A09977 | 5 Besides, consider what it is that troubles thee? |
| A09977 | 7 From whence doest thou looke for wages? |
| A09977 | 90. Who knowes the power of his wrath? |
| A09977 | A man will be ready to say, shall I take this? |
| A09977 | Afterwards it pleased him to bedew the Gentiles, when the Israelites were dry; well, he hath done this, sayes Paul, and what hast thou to say to him? |
| A09977 | Again, doth not the Scripture reckon them so? |
| A09977 | Againe, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me? |
| A09977 | Againe, are not wee commanded to pray for outward blessings? |
| A09977 | Againe, can not he fill thy heart with joy and comfort? |
| A09977 | Againe, suppose one should come from either of those two places, would you beleeve him? |
| A09977 | Againe, the Spirit whereby the Prophets and Apostles spake to us, was it not sent from heaven? |
| A09977 | Againe, what is the reason that we are so readie to please, and loth to displease men, as a potent friend or enemie, rather than God? |
| A09977 | Alas, saith Moses, who am I: Shall I go unto Pharaoh, and bid him let the children of Israel goe? |
| A09977 | Alas, what is the body to it? |
| A09977 | Am I not a creature? |
| A09977 | And againe, is it not comfort to consider that hee is with your enemies( it may be) in a distance place? |
| A09977 | And all this is for want of this faith, would this bee, if you did beleive this Allmighty power of GOD? |
| A09977 | And how will he meet thee? |
| A09977 | And it is called, Compassions that faile not: why are they called so? |
| A09977 | And said, hee can not doe this and this: and why? |
| A09977 | And shall a man take on, because a vapour is scattered, and a flower withered, and a shadow vanished? |
| A09977 | And so for Gods promises and rewards; Why will you not forbeare sinne, that you may receive the promises, and the rewards? |
| A09977 | And this is a thing to be observed out of the 19. and 20. verses, where the same reason is given that we now speake of, Who hath? |
| A09977 | And what followed that? |
| A09977 | And what is the ground of that? |
| A09977 | And when the Lord is with us from day to day, will you not take notice of him? |
| A09977 | And why doe they doe so? |
| A09977 | And will you have it to lie dead, when you have it? |
| A09977 | And, how am I prest under your abominations, even as a cart is pressed with sheaves? |
| A09977 | Are not men in this kinde, like to beasts, subject to sensualitie, that eate that they may play, and play that they may eate? |
| A09977 | Are we stronger than he? |
| A09977 | As for example, though folly be the cause, that such a businesse doth miscarry, yet who is the cause of that folly? |
| A09977 | As for example; to what end, and for what occasion is this Doctrine of election delivered? |
| A09977 | As for this Doctrine of Gods unchangeablenesse, what is the end, why it is revealed? |
| A09977 | As if he should say, what Atheisme is this in the hearts of men? |
| A09977 | As if you would choose a right jewell;( you know there are many counterfeit ones) how should you know a true one? |
| A09977 | As to Paul, what was all his persecution? |
| A09977 | As when a man is in any miserable condition, wherein hee desires pitty, and would bee respected and relieved, what wilt thou doe in this case? |
| A09977 | As, againe, what are all pleasant things, if a man hath not a heart to apprehend them? |
| A09977 | As, is it not matter of great comfort, that in all places wee should have a GOD to doe all our businesses? |
| A09977 | Aske that Church, that Synod of men, what is that which makes the Church to beleeve that the Scripture is the Word of God? |
| A09977 | Be it that thy desire is to be delivered from such or such an affliction; consider this: Is it meete Gods will should yeeld to thine, or thine to his? |
| A09977 | Be ready to say in this case, as Haman of Mordecai; what availeth it me, if Mordecai yet live? |
| A09977 | Because they doe something? |
| A09977 | Because we expect something; because we thinke we are not well dealt with; and why doe we thinke so? |
| A09977 | Because when Peter said they had left all; Christ tels them they should have an hundred fold, and why? |
| A09977 | Besides, doe wee not heare this speech of man? |
| A09977 | Besides, what makes a man to depart from his profession? |
| A09977 | Boast not of time; why doest thou deferre the time? |
| A09977 | But how shall I come to get such a desire? |
| A09977 | But how shall I conceive of a Spirit? |
| A09977 | But how shall I doe to know this? |
| A09977 | But how shall I know it, you will say? |
| A09977 | But how shall I know this, whether my soule doth rule or no? |
| A09977 | But how shall a man get his minde to such a frame? |
| A09977 | But how shall we doe this? |
| A09977 | But how should we know that the Iewes are true? |
| A09977 | But is not this rule too strait? |
| A09977 | But may wee not love him, and love other things also? |
| A09977 | But must it be a bare and empty thought of him onely? |
| A09977 | But my inclinations are strong, and I can not rule them: what must I doe then? |
| A09977 | But needeth hee, or this relict of his, Epistles of commendation from us unto your Honour, who knew him so well? |
| A09977 | But seeing it is not so, therefore labour to goe to God in faith, and when thou goest, thinke with thy selfe; why may I not have it aswell as another? |
| A09977 | But the creatures are of great moment, experience shewes them to be something: for, who lives without them? |
| A09977 | But what if the Iewes were moved with the calamity when it came, should cry, and be importunate with the Lord, would not their teares move him? |
| A09977 | But what if they fast and pray? |
| A09977 | But what is that more particularly? |
| A09977 | But what is that pollution of spirit, or what is that which doth defile it? |
| A09977 | But what use is there of this Doctrine? |
| A09977 | But when men consider that they have the great God on their side, to beare themselves upon, why should not they have great mindes? |
| A09977 | But when they are gone, they are a weake and a naked people, how shall they doe to live? |
| A09977 | But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven of heavens can not containe him? |
| A09977 | But will not you have us to use such things? |
| A09977 | But you shall see how prone men are to this; are we not ready to say; Why am I not in so great a place as another? |
| A09977 | But you will say, I doe all for this end, to serve God and men? |
| A09977 | But you will say, What is this to walke with the Lord? |
| A09977 | But you will say, how can they be lesse than nothing? |
| A09977 | But you will say, this is against sence: GOD is All- sufficient, it is true, it is good to have him: but, doe we not need many hundred things besides? |
| A09977 | But you will say, what if I fall into sin? |
| A09977 | But you will say, why then is it that they are brought so low? |
| A09977 | But you will say; What is the meaning of that? |
| A09977 | But you will say; they are perfect in their kinde, how then are they imperfect? |
| A09977 | But, you will say, If it be of so much moment, then what is the way to strengthen our faith in them? |
| A09977 | But, you will say, this is a principle, that needs not to be thus urged, or made question of; therefore, what need so many reasons to prove it? |
| A09977 | Can any man hide himselfe in secret places, that I shall not see him, saith the Lord? |
| A09977 | Can wee live without friends, estate convenient? |
| A09977 | Can wee live without them? |
| A09977 | Did ever any man upon his death- bed say so? |
| A09977 | Did he any wrong? |
| A09977 | Doe not I fill heaven and earth, saith the Lord? |
| A09977 | Doe not I fill heaven and earth, saith the Lord? |
| A09977 | Doe not I fill heaven and earth, saith the Lord? |
| A09977 | Doe we provoke the Lord to jealousie? |
| A09977 | Doe you finde it so easie a thing, to believe in difficulties, as in facility? |
| A09977 | Doe you thinke, if things had beene from eternitie, there would be no monuments of them, if you consider the vastnesse of eternitie, what it is? |
| A09977 | Doe you thinke, that Paul never prayed before, when he was a Pharise? |
| A09977 | Doe you thinke, that there you shall have a worse condition than here? |
| A09977 | Doth not hee see my wayes and count all my steps? |
| A09977 | Every accident is but as a cup, as Christ saith of the cup that was brought to him by others, Shall not I drinke of the cup, which my Father gives me? |
| A09977 | Every creature hath his severall bounds and limits, thus farre shall they goe, and no further; but who hath set bounds to him? |
| A09977 | Eye- service is, when a man doth it in the outward shew, and appearance onely, and what is the other, to doe a thing heartily? |
| A09977 | For can not GOD doe it, when things are not probable, as well as when there are the fairest blossomes of hope? |
| A09977 | For what can Satan do to him? |
| A09977 | For what is faith? |
| A09977 | For what is it that makes the minde great? |
| A09977 | For what is the reason that man is so fickle? |
| A09977 | For what is this body, wherein the soule is? |
| A09977 | For why doe wee thinke men to bee present, but because they see and heare? |
| A09977 | For, for what end hath he revealed to us that he is unchangeable? |
| A09977 | From whence come warres and fightings among you? |
| A09977 | Hast thou not begun many good workes, and never finished them? |
| A09977 | Hast thou not found that property of folly in thee, To begin stil to live? |
| A09977 | Hath not God chosen the poore of this world, rich in faith, and heires of the kingdome which he hath promised to them that love him? |
| A09977 | He is full of being, and though thou perish, what is that to him? |
| A09977 | Hee that made the eye, shall he not see? |
| A09977 | Hence I reason thus: the wisedome of GOD, the largenesse and infinitenesse of his understanding and knowledge, what is it not able to conceive? |
| A09977 | Hence likewise it is, that men are so easily wrought vpon by pleasure, profit, and the like, that they are ready to transgresse: why is it? |
| A09977 | How a man shall come to this greatnesse of mind, what rise it hath from the greatnesse of God? |
| A09977 | How can we see him that is invisible? |
| A09977 | How doest thou conceive of the soule of another man when thou speakest to him? |
| A09977 | How doth the Lord speake to us now? |
| A09977 | How the Lord imployed himselfe before the creation of the World? |
| A09977 | How? |
| A09977 | I have made a covenant with mine eyes: why then should I thinke upon a maid? |
| A09977 | I have much credit and estate, but what glory hath it brought to IESVS CHRIST? |
| A09977 | I say, what is the reason of this, if there be not some grounds of secret Atheisme in men? |
| A09977 | If God will take a few out of a Nation, and destroy all the rest, who can say any thing to him? |
| A09977 | If one of us were to suffer, as the Martyrs did, what is it that would establish our soules? |
| A09977 | If there be a God, what is the reason that this comes to passe? |
| A09977 | If there bee a freind that thou lovest, doest thou not desire to bee with him? |
| A09977 | If thou hast a friend all- sufficient, hast thou not need to walke with him? |
| A09977 | If thou wouldest shew thy love to God, why doest thou not walke with him? |
| A09977 | If you say, May not a man pray sometimes, when he is walking, or lying, or riding by the way, or the like? |
| A09977 | In the beginning was the Word,& c. Where doth any booke expresse it selfe, in a manner, in the relation of any stories? |
| A09977 | Indeed he made but one world to our knowledge, but who knoweth what he did before, and what he will doe after? |
| A09977 | Is he not free? |
| A09977 | Is it a great thing for him to die, when he hath the same company, and the same friends with him still? |
| A09977 | Is it not from hence, that they have no being of their owne? |
| A09977 | Is it not, because our affections are set upon changeable objects, vpon the creatures? |
| A09977 | Is not he then the worthiest and the highest object, on whom they should bestow their thoughts? |
| A09977 | Is not this an argument of secret Atheisme and impiety in the heart of every man, more or lesse? |
| A09977 | It is a thing that we come short of, for the most part, for we are ready to aske, what is God to us? |
| A09977 | It is for himselfe? |
| A09977 | It is one thing to beleive GODS Allmighty power, and who doubts of it? |
| A09977 | It is sin that bringeth destruction, and doth precipitate a man thereunto; but who is it that leaveth men to their sins and lusts? |
| A09977 | It is true, he doth it by meanes: and if you say, what are those meanes? |
| A09977 | It might be a false relation, would you beleeve him without further ground? |
| A09977 | Know ye not, that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? |
| A09977 | Knowest thou what is in the wombe of the day? |
| A09977 | May not I doe what I will with mine owne? |
| A09977 | May not he doe what he will? |
| A09977 | Must we not have friends, house, wife,& c.? |
| A09977 | My trade hath brought me home much, but how serviceable have I been with it? |
| A09977 | Now come to a beleever going out of the world, and aske him what hope hee hath to be saved, and what ground for it? |
| A09977 | Now if they did so, doe you not thinke it is hard for you to doe otherwise? |
| A09977 | Now learne thou to doe so with thy selfe, to aske thy selfe that question: Hast thou not had many resolutions, that never came to any endeavours? |
| A09977 | Now shall they not finde this in the Lord more than in any creature? |
| A09977 | Now what use should we make of this? |
| A09977 | Now, I aske, if the world was from eternitie, what is the reason that there is but one fountaine, one bloud whereof we are all made? |
| A09977 | Now, if thou saist, I have thus behaved my selfe, and have not beene answered? |
| A09977 | Now, whence comes this uneven walking, this exorbitance of the wheeles, but from the weaknesse of the maine spring, that sets all on motion? |
| A09977 | Now, whence comes this? |
| A09977 | Now, who was it that did drie the earth againe, and now reserveth it to the day of Iudgement to be destroyed by fire? |
| A09977 | Oh but, you say, the world hath continued very long, and there is a promise of his comming, but we see no such thing? |
| A09977 | Onely this question may be asked, Whether he be without the world, as well as he is in the world? |
| A09977 | Or Moses to lead the children of Israel into the Land of Canaan, but Ioshua must have the glory of it? |
| A09977 | Or shall the Sunne be beholding to him that hath the use of his light? |
| A09977 | Or unto others, besides this Inscription of, and Dedication to your Name? |
| A09977 | Riches take to themselves wings, and fly away; And, why doest thou set thy heart upon that which is nothing? |
| A09977 | Saith our Saviour, It is impossible for a rich man to enter into the kingdome of heaven: why, say the Disciples, Who then can be saved? |
| A09977 | Secondly, he considers the greatnesse, and strength and power of God; and from thence he drawes this conclusion, whom shall I feare? |
| A09977 | Shall he say, and not doe it? |
| A09977 | Shall hee be present with us, wheresover wee are; when we goe by the way, or lie in our beds, or sit in our houses? |
| A09977 | Shall the clay say to him that fashions it, what makest thou? |
| A09977 | Shall the clay say to him that maketh it, why doest thou so? |
| A09977 | So God, because hee is the first cause, hee may have what end he will, and no man can say, why doest thou so? |
| A09977 | So he that is a Minister; it is true, I have enough, enough credit, enough for estate; but what is this? |
| A09977 | So if I should aske another, whether grace, or outward excellency were better? |
| A09977 | So if any condition befall you, if you can bee content with GOD alone, you are well, what if your friends deceive you? |
| A09977 | So likewise for the beginning of Arts and Sciences; what is the reason that the originall of them is knowne? |
| A09977 | So what is the reason, that the praise, and credit of men, doe so much affect you? |
| A09977 | So when he staid his hand from killing Nabal, did not the Lord bring it to passe in a better manner than hee could have done? |
| A09977 | So, who can implant holy affections in thee, but he alone? |
| A09977 | Stultitia semper incipit vivere? |
| A09977 | That which is said of man, may be said of every thing else; What hast thou, that thou hast not received? |
| A09977 | The LORD is my light, and my salvation, whom shall I feare? |
| A09977 | The LORD is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid? |
| A09977 | The Lord answeres him; Is the Lords hand shortened, that he can not helpe? |
| A09977 | The Lord is my light, and my salvation, whom shall I feare? |
| A09977 | The objection then is; there are many that doe not trust in God, and yet they bring their things to passe? |
| A09977 | There is the objection, that which is in the hearts of men: Now you shall see what answer is made to it in the following verse, Hast thou not knowne? |
| A09977 | Therefore learne to magnifie God, for he is all; thou wantest nothing, if thou hast him; he is all in heaven, and why should hee not be so here? |
| A09977 | Therefore let men consider this, and looke to it; have I not chosen this course of life, and have I not an end appointed to me? |
| A09977 | Therefore, why is he forgotten? |
| A09977 | Therfore do not thou dispute with God, and aske, why are so many damned? |
| A09977 | Therfore say, what a foole was I? |
| A09977 | Thinke with thy selfe, that when he first chooseth a man, he doth it freely; and thinkest thou that he is not the same afterwards? |
| A09977 | To compare him, with the greatest of men, Kings, what are they unto him, who is the King of Kings? |
| A09977 | To what end are more lights brought, but that you should see things more clearely, which you did not before? |
| A09977 | To which I may adde this; that, who knoweth what the Lord hath done? |
| A09977 | What am I to be sent on this errand? |
| A09977 | What art thou that contendest with him? |
| A09977 | What better are they? |
| A09977 | What doe you thinke they would have said to men that offered them riches? |
| A09977 | What if God will not have David to build a Temple, but his sonne must doe it? |
| A09977 | What if you should bee shut up in a close prison? |
| A09977 | What is his name, or what is his Sonnes name, if thou canst tell? |
| A09977 | What is it for, then? |
| A09977 | What is it to that God, with whom I must live for ever? |
| A09977 | What is your meaning then to have GOD alone for our portion? |
| A09977 | What though it never breakes forth into outward actions? |
| A09977 | Whence come those complaints of the unthankfulnesse of friends and pupils, and those we doe good to? |
| A09977 | Whence comes this, but because we forget the Allmighty power of GOD? |
| A09977 | Whence comes this, but because we have not beene wonted to walke with the LORD? |
| A09977 | Whence comes this? |
| A09977 | Whence is it that men are so fearefull to holde out the light of a holy profession? |
| A09977 | Whence is this stupiditie both wayes? |
| A09977 | Whereas this objection might be made; Will he cast men to hell? |
| A09977 | Wherefore doe you spend money for that, which is not bread? |
| A09977 | Who can dwell with everlasting burnings? |
| A09977 | Who hath ascended up to heaven, or descended? |
| A09977 | Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servants, that walketh in darknesse, and hath no light? |
| A09977 | Who should aske, why deales GOD thus with his Church? |
| A09977 | Why am I thus subject to diseases and crosses? |
| A09977 | Why are these set downe? |
| A09977 | Why are we as beasts, led with sensuality, that we will not be drawne to that which belongs to God ▪ and his Kingdome? |
| A09977 | Why doest thou boast of to morrow? |
| A09977 | Why doth he put these two together thus? |
| A09977 | Why have I not greater imployments? |
| A09977 | Why have I such imperfections? |
| A09977 | Why have not I more gifts? |
| A09977 | Why is such a corporall gesture noted in the text? |
| A09977 | Why is this Attribute revealed to you? |
| A09977 | Why sayest thou O Iacob, and speakest O Israel; My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgement is passed over from my GOD? |
| A09977 | Why should they not be made all together? |
| A09977 | Why the Church of the Grecians, those famous Churches; why the golden Candlestickes were removed from them? |
| A09977 | Why was not the earth peopled together, and in every Land a multitude of inhabitants together, if they had beene from eternitie, and had no beginning? |
| A09977 | Why? |
| A09977 | Why? |
| A09977 | Why? |
| A09977 | Why? |
| A09977 | Wilt thou dispute with God? |
| A09977 | Wilt thou goe to weake man, and have him to pitty thee? |
| A09977 | Would they not have slighted them? |
| A09977 | Yea, but how doest thou bestow thy labour? |
| A09977 | Yea, but these were but weake women, and we hope our faith may be stronger than theirs? |
| A09977 | Yea, but will Pharaoh be moved with words? |
| A09977 | You will say, this is a mans naturall condition indeed, but how shall this be helped? |
| A09977 | and how long hath he continued that expensive worke of governing the world, to shew forth the riches of his goodnesse, patience& forbearance? |
| A09977 | and is not this thine end, to serve God and men? |
| A09977 | and is there any then that thou shouldest choose to walke with more than with him? |
| A09977 | and shall not we take notice of his presence, and direct our thoughts to him, and apply our selves to him? |
| A09977 | and what need had he of riches, or lands, or friends? |
| A09977 | and when any alterations come to passe, who is he that stoppeth them? |
| A09977 | and who is able to judge of him or of his actions? |
| A09977 | and why doe men joyne other things with him? |
| A09977 | and your labour for that, which satisfieth not? |
| A09977 | are they brought home to him? |
| A09977 | art thou not a creature? |
| A09977 | art thou not made? |
| A09977 | as if he should say; he is a great God, who can come neere him? |
| A09977 | as the former and latter raine: doth not God give more or lesse, according to his good pleasure? |
| A09977 | but because we have so litle mindes? |
| A09977 | but what hast thou to- doe with the Lord? |
| A09977 | come they not hence, even of your lusts that warre in your members? |
| A09977 | doe their hearts get any thing? |
| A09977 | every one would say, that to have Gods image renewed in them, were the best: but then why doest thou not busie thy selfe about it? |
| A09977 | from God or from men? |
| A09977 | hast thou not heard that the everlasting GOD the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth fainteth not, neither is weary? |
| A09977 | have I brought any glory to the Lord? |
| A09977 | have I converted any? |
| A09977 | have I no other end, but my selfe? |
| A09977 | have I such a heart that will carry me to sinne? |
| A09977 | he findes his heart so disposed, that he begins to quarrell with his heart, and to fall out with it; and to say; What? |
| A09977 | he that made the eare, shall not he heare? |
| A09977 | he would say, grace: but then why doe you not bestow some time about it, to get it? |
| A09977 | how carefull would he be to spend this houre well? |
| A09977 | how farre is this required in his worship? |
| A09977 | how shall men deale with him? |
| A09977 | if he will heale us, what needs the Physitian? |
| A09977 | if hee will cloath us, and give us meat and drinke, then what needs wealth? |
| A09977 | is it enough for thee to live, and no more? |
| A09977 | is it in vaine? |
| A09977 | is it not for our use? |
| A09977 | is it not for this, that men might make use of this power of his? |
| A09977 | is it not from hence, that they are pusillanimous, that they doe too much esteeme the face of men? |
| A09977 | is not he onely wise to give thee direction upon all occasions? |
| A09977 | is not the Lord as well able to helpe in desperate cases, if he be Allmighty? |
| A09977 | it hath that part of it selfe originally? |
| A09977 | or what likenesse will you compare unto him? |
| A09977 | shall I bee trampled under foot? |
| A09977 | shall he speake, and not make it good? |
| A09977 | so they that have their estates provided for them, they care not for learning, they say, they can live without it; but art not thou made? |
| A09977 | that will not onely carry me to sinne, but to hell? |
| A09977 | the Lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid? |
| A09977 | to get our spirits thus cleansed? |
| A09977 | was it not the Lord? |
| A09977 | what is the reason, that things are of no greater antiquity than they are? |
| A09977 | what profit, what good is it to us? |
| A09977 | what shall I say unto them? |
| A09977 | what shall I say unto them? |
| A09977 | what shall I say unto them? |
| A09977 | what shall I say unto them? |
| A09977 | when the times are bad, doe not men say; oh, wee shall never see better dayes? |
| A09977 | whereas, if God were knowne in his greatnesse, what would the praise of great men be to the praise of the great GOD? |
| A09977 | who can converse with him? |
| A09977 | who hath bounded the waters in a garment? |
| A09977 | who hath established all the ends of the earth? |
| A09977 | who hath gathered the winds in his fist? |
| A09977 | who is he that sets bounds to them, but only the Lord? |
| A09977 | who knowes his counsels? |
| A09977 | why are so many damned? |
| A09977 | why are so many swept away? |
| A09977 | why are there any alterations at all? |
| A09977 | why are they not sooner perfected? |
| A09977 | why doe these things goe so far, and no further? |
| A09977 | why doe you studie much, and pray so little? |
| A09977 | why doest thou not labour for it? |
| A09977 | why doth the sea over- flow some places, and goe no further? |
| A09977 | why so? |
| A09977 | why were they no sooner found out? |
| A09977 | why will you not hearken, and obey? |
| A09977 | wil he take away his pleasure from him, his wealth, or his credit? |
| A09977 | will hee damne them for his owne glory? |
| A09977 | with this: Can any man hide himselfe in secret places, that I shall not see him, saith the Lord? |
| A09977 | yet this is not enough; Did there follow hereupon a generall change within thy heart, and a new heart, and a new spirit given thee? |
| A77976 | ( I mean the Church- Wardens, as they stiled them) and when you were put to such Oaths, had you never inward regreet in your Consciences? |
| A77976 | ( as you have heard) such dreadful evil in the least sin? |
| A77976 | 1 How can God that is so infinitly good, have a hand in sin, that have so much evil in it? |
| A77976 | 1 You shal find many that come and complain of Sin: who do they complain to? |
| A77976 | 16. there God saith, The face of the Lord is against them that do evil: Mark, the face of the Lord: What is Gods face? |
| A77976 | 2 If his Prosperitie doth give him further liberty in Sin? |
| A77976 | 20. when Elijah met Ahab, Hast thou found me, O my Enemy? |
| A77976 | 3 Hence it follows, That all the Creatures in the world were brought under the Dominion of Man to be serviceable unto Man; why? |
| A77976 | Abishai the son of Zerviah; Abishai was one of Davids Soldiers, when Shimei cursed David: Shall I go and cut off this dead Dogs neck? |
| A77976 | Alas poor man, he might have need of them: How many of you venture upon other manner of things upon the Lords Day, profaning of it? |
| A77976 | All my glorious Attributes shall work against you; as if God should say, Is there any thing in me can make you miserable? |
| A77976 | And again, another Creature, Swords and Weapons, they have power to gash and wound the Body; whence have these Instruments their power? |
| A77976 | And doth not God bring good out of sin? |
| A77976 | And he was verie cheerful who made so manie Psalms, and was so Musical as David? |
| A77976 | And if Sin be to evil, what an evil case are those men in, who be so full of sin? |
| A77976 | And is there not evil in this? |
| A77976 | And now you that have heard of the great evil of sin, will you ever open your mouths to deminish and excuse sin? |
| A77976 | And so when they spend whole daies in drinking and eating, why? |
| A77976 | And that I may bring it more full to your sences, consider this, From whence hath any Creature power to bring evil upon thee, or to torment thee? |
| A77976 | And there shall stand up a VILE Person: Now who is this Vile Person that the holy Ghost speaks of? |
| A77976 | And therefore if any man or woman be troubled, and say it is for sin, I put this to you; What hath God discovered to you now, more than before? |
| A77976 | And to what end? |
| A77976 | And what a companie of most miserable wretches have we in this world? |
| A77976 | And what is the evil of a Tree? |
| A77976 | And who hath made the difference? |
| A77976 | And yet, who ever in such anguish and distress for sin as David was? |
| A77976 | Are you in Affliction, and to prevent it run to Sin? |
| A77976 | As Brethren thus, It doth note the infiniteness of goodness that there is in God, why? |
| A77976 | As Christ said to the Pharisees, Who hath forwarned you to fly from the wrath to come? |
| A77976 | As a mad man, who casts fire brands, arrows, and death, so is the man that deceaves his neighbor, and saith, Am I not in Sport? |
| A77976 | As if the Prophet should say, Oh wretched man that thou art, thou hast gotten possession of the Vinyard, but hast thou killed, and gotten possession? |
| A77976 | Brethren, what made the Devil a Devil? |
| A77976 | But Christ though he knew it beforehand, yet how dreadful was it to him when it came? |
| A77976 | But as the Prophet saith, Doth not my words do you good? |
| A77976 | But how doth sin wrong God? |
| A77976 | But how doth this appear? |
| A77976 | But how is this in every Sin? |
| A77976 | But it may be said, Is that Lawful for a man to abstain from sin out of self respects? |
| A77976 | But now it was by the Finger of God: well, Christ calls them to him, and said, How can Satan cast out Satan? |
| A77976 | But out of what do those worms breed? |
| A77976 | But what wil you say if I convince your consciences that this is in your bosoms, that you have been guilty of this sin? |
| A77976 | But you will say, This makes all you have done, but a little matter; if Sin may be done away thus, what need all this discovery of the evil of Sin? |
| A77976 | But you will say, Why is it not so now, for in the Regenerate, there is the Image of God in part renewed in them, and yet they commit many sins? |
| A77976 | Can not you do this as well as others? |
| A77976 | Certainly if Sin be all that which you have heard, or read, well might the Holy Ghost say, A wounded spirit, who can bear? |
| A77976 | Certainly men in waies of sin never say, Oh Lord, what have I done? |
| A77976 | Certainly there is this in sin, for if you account not your waies more equal, why chuse you them? |
| A77976 | Christ was in an Agony, in a Combate: Combate, with what? |
| A77976 | Do we take delight to have our neighbors, or the family love us? |
| A77976 | Do you see men so froward, and outragious, and bloodie? |
| A77976 | Dost thou know what thou hast done, in enticing others to sin? |
| A77976 | Dost thou laugh at sin? |
| A77976 | Dost thou think good will come of this? |
| A77976 | Doth he cry for this? |
| A77976 | Doth this make them go with a holy boldness to God, and Challenge Gods Promise, because I have committed such and such a sin? |
| A77976 | Fear none of these things you shall suffer, behold the Devil shall cast some of you into prison: why? |
| A77976 | For what is holiness but grace? |
| A77976 | God bad him go and meet Ahab, and say, What hast thou killed, and gotten possession? |
| A77976 | God speaking with indignation? |
| A77976 | Guilt, what is that? |
| A77976 | Hast thou nothing to be merry withal? |
| A77976 | Hast thou nothing to rejoyce in but sinning against the Almighty? |
| A77976 | Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a Devil? |
| A77976 | Hence it follows, that nothing that is good should be ventured for sin, why? |
| A77976 | Heretofore yong people when they had daies of Recreation, what did they but multiplie Sin? |
| A77976 | How can that be? |
| A77976 | How comes it to pass that there is a necessity of such a mysterie of godliness for saving of poor Souls? |
| A77976 | How do you know this? |
| A77976 | How doth it appear that sin is most opposite to the chiefest good? |
| A77976 | How doth this appear? |
| A77976 | How doth this appear? |
| A77976 | How doth this appear? |
| A77976 | How many men and women in the world for trifles and toyes, suffer shipwrack of a good Conscience? |
| A77976 | How the Delivering up to Satan, can be for the saving the Soul? |
| A77976 | How will that appear you will say? |
| A77976 | How will this follow( will you say) that the Rational part is not ordered by the Sensitive? |
| A77976 | I beseech you observe this; Take heed for ever of reasoning with Temptation, of consulting and casting about in your thoughts, what will become of it? |
| A77976 | I but it may be you will say it doth not s ● cross mans happiness, but that he may come to be happie for all sin? |
| A77976 | I have gotten money, and what to do? |
| A77976 | I have heard in such a Point, and out of such a Text, how Sin makes against God, strikes at him, wrongs him, How shall I do this and sin against God? |
| A77976 | I pray, what work do they tire themselves withal that needs so much recreation? |
| A77976 | I put it to your conscience every sinful man or woman; think how hast thou lived? |
| A77976 | I put it to your souls this day as in the name of God, what is it that thy heart is set upon as thy chiefest Good? |
| A77976 | I remember Origen upon that Text hath this note; Will you hear the terrible voice of God? |
| A77976 | If a man come and complain, Oh this wretched heart of mine, and pray help me against it; how can you tell it is for Affliction and not for sin? |
| A77976 | If so, do thou never admit of it; if it be a sin, abhorre it: let this temptation never prevail with thee; What? |
| A77976 | If the shoulders of a Porter be sore, and all the Skin off, and a boyl upon his shoulder, how grievous would the burden be then? |
| A77976 | If there be such evil in Sin, Then it is of great use to begin to be Godlie and Religious betimes, for yong ones to come to be godlie betimes: why? |
| A77976 | If thou know it to be poison, and strong poison, what a madnesse were it in thee, to drink a ● ● ll draught only because''t is sweet? |
| A77976 | If thou shouldest see a Company of men stab and murder themselves, and lying dead in the streets, if it should be asked how came they dead? |
| A77976 | If you walk contrary to me, I will walk contrary unto you: What is that? |
| A77976 | Is it a Sin? |
| A77976 | Is my strength the strength of stones? |
| A77976 | Is there all this evil( that I have spoken of) in the nature of Sin? |
| A77976 | Is there anie soul, that by all I have said, of the Evil of Sin, finds it self stung with the poison of Sin? |
| A77976 | Is there any evil in a City and the Lord hath not done it? |
| A77976 | Is there any house in your parish where there is Blaspheming, and Oaths, and railing at goodness, and Sabbath breaking, and such things? |
| A77976 | Is this a light or little matter? |
| A77976 | It is a horrible thing thus to abuse mercie: how doest thou think the mercie of God should plead for thee when thou doest it such infinite wrong? |
| A77976 | It may be many of you are apt to say, We know God, what need we have so much of God Preached? |
| A77976 | It was the Complaint of the Prophet Jeremiah, No man saith, What have I done? |
| A77976 | Know this day God presents to thy soul the desperate delusions of it, what? |
| A77976 | Lord, why castest thou off m ● soul? |
| A77976 | No, wil you say, Can not God bring good out of sin? |
| A77976 | Now how comes it to pass that the Martyrs did bear them with such joy, and Christ the Captain of them all falls to the Earth, and cries out so? |
| A77976 | Now if the Image of God be such a glorious thing as it is, then what would you say of that which doth deface this Image? |
| A77976 | Now is it not more if that thou hast a wicked Child, one out of thy Bowels that strikes at God, and is a Traitor to the God of Heaven? |
| A77976 | Now that you may convince them, that it is conscience, and not stubbornness, how shall this be known, that it is consciousness, and not stubbornness? |
| A77976 | Now then, what if both these Evils come together, and concur both together to make a man miserable? |
| A77976 | Now this I endeavor, if possible, to make a stop in sinful waies; that you might consider, Oh Lord, where am I? |
| A77976 | Now what is the evil of Sin, when it is so weightie, that it makes the whol frame of Heaven and Earth to groan to bear the burden of it? |
| A77976 | Now, what breeds this worm, and supplies it with matter? |
| A77976 | Oh Lord, what a condition are those in( I say) that are guilty of an infinite number of sins? |
| A77976 | Oh is it thus with you? |
| A77976 | Oh saith some, what a hard heart have I? |
| A77976 | Oh what dost thou think of God? |
| A77976 | Oh what have I done against God? |
| A77976 | Oh when( I put it to thee in the Name of the Lord) in all thy life didst thou shed one tear for the sins of those among whom you live? |
| A77976 | Shall he wrong me? |
| A77976 | Sinner, Man or woman doest thou know God, that infinite glorious eternal God, with whom thou hast to do? |
| A77976 | So God will say, Why? |
| A77976 | So a Blasphemer may be said to be guilty of all the blasphemies in the world; why? |
| A77976 | So he saith concerning Shimei, Let me go over I pray thee, and take off his head; why should this dead Dog curse my Lord? |
| A77976 | So may I say to anie wicked man or woman in the world that hath got by waies of sin; What hast thou sinned, and gotten possession? |
| A77976 | So may I say unto those who have such woful guilt of sin upon them; What is thy strength the strength of stones, and thy flesh of brass? |
| A77976 | So one Disease hath power to torment one way, and another, another way; whence hath any Disease power to torment? |
| A77976 | So that it appears, he was in his power to possess him, but yet he did not; and what is the reason? |
| A77976 | So when poor souls cry to heaven for Christ, God may say to the poor soul, Why? |
| A77976 | So you dislike sin, and Oh you would not commit it; but this is the Question, Whether your dislike or hatred be Natural or Supernatural? |
| A77976 | Some go to evil wicked company, and when they spend their times in drinking; Plead, Why? |
| A77976 | Some sin or other, did you not strain your Conscience in that benefit you have got? |
| A77976 | Such a secret lust thou livest in? |
| A77976 | Suppose in your company, in the midst of your mirth, one takes a knife and stabs himself into the heart; would not this damp your joy? |
| A77976 | That God must be Man? |
| A77976 | That God must be manifested in the flesh? |
| A77976 | That is wronged especiallie: Why? |
| A77976 | The Mercie of God, doest thou think that shall plead for thee? |
| A77976 | There are manie converted when they were old, and what would these give for to be delivered from the guilt of some sins committed when they were yong? |
| A77976 | Therefore God in Scripture reasons the Case with his People, What are not my waies equal, are not your waies unequal? |
| A77976 | Therefore if any soul shal go away and say, Wo to me what have I done? |
| A77976 | Therefore let me abide here; tell me Oh Sinner what is it thou gettest in waies of sin that thou wilt dwel here? |
| A77976 | Therfore this is a vain plea that men have, what kind of* Government must we have if this be taken away? |
| A77976 | Think thus, suppose God should have no more glorie by all the world, than by me, to what end were the world made? |
| A77976 | Thou abstainest from sin, what is the reason? |
| A77976 | Was that then that was good made death to me? |
| A77976 | Well, but was there no apparent wickednesse committed in your companie? |
| A77976 | Well, but what is the reason of this Mysterie of godliness? |
| A77976 | Well, who was this Heman? |
| A77976 | Well, you have gotten Estates, Preferments, Honors, be it what it will in the world; but what did it cost you? |
| A77976 | Were it not better to be under any Affliction than under the guilt of Sin, if there be in it such opposition to God? |
| A77976 | What Truths of God hath God setled upon their hearts more than before? |
| A77976 | What a contrariety to God, and the Nature of God? |
| A77976 | What a difference is there between thy heart, and the heart of the Martyrs? |
| A77976 | What a wrong is this to the Holy Ghost? |
| A77976 | What can be said be more of affliction? |
| A77976 | What daring of the blessed God? |
| A77976 | What do you mean( will you say) by this Spiritual Restitution? |
| A77976 | What do you think now of trouble of Conscience for sin? |
| A77976 | What dost thou think of thy sins now? |
| A77976 | What hast thou done Oh Man or Woman; that hast vetured the loss of all good for that which hath no good at all, nay all evil in it? |
| A77976 | What is that worm that shall never dye? |
| A77976 | What is the folly of yong people? |
| A77976 | What is the reason men and women give up their souls to sin, to lasciviousness and wantonness with greediness? |
| A77976 | What is the reason of this? |
| A77976 | What profit, or what fruit had you in those things whereof you be now ashamed? |
| A77976 | What say you now? |
| A77976 | What shal the Authoritie of man put weight upon smal things, and not the Authoritie of the Almightie put weight in small things? |
| A77976 | What strange Doctrine is this? |
| A77976 | What then did the flame of Gods wrath that was let out upon the soul of Jesus Christ? |
| A77976 | What think you of the Lord Christ himself in his Agony? |
| A77976 | What was this concerning which God had spoken, that he would shew his great power in? |
| A77976 | What wilt thou have me to do? |
| A77976 | What, doest thou know God, man or woman? |
| A77976 | What? |
| A77976 | What? |
| A77976 | What? |
| A77976 | When Christ would humble Sauls heart, what doth he do? |
| A77976 | When men have got any thing in possession, they usually reckon, I but, what did this cost me? |
| A77976 | Wherefore yet let me labor with your souls; who knows whether anie of you shall hear me preach anie one Sermon more? |
| A77976 | Who art thou Lord? |
| A77976 | Who be these that ventured their lives? |
| A77976 | Who be those two Zebulon and Naphtali that were full of courage and zeal, when others were- full of Pleas and would not venture their lives? |
| A77976 | Who is there but is guilty of resisting the motions of the Holy Ghost? |
| A77976 | Who would acknowledg in the way of sin they despise God? |
| A77976 | Why abodest thou among the Sheep- folds to hear the bleatings of the ● locks? |
| A77976 | Why can not man be saved by any Savior but such a one as must be verily and truly God and man? |
| A77976 | Why doth Christ speak of this, how comes it in? |
| A77976 | Why hidest thou thy face from me? |
| A77976 | Why persecutest thou Me? |
| A77976 | Why what doth it do? |
| A77976 | Why( might Saul say) Lord, have mercy upon me, is this such rebellion? |
| A77976 | Why? |
| A77976 | Why? |
| A77976 | Why? |
| A77976 | Why? |
| A77976 | Why? |
| A77976 | Why? |
| A77976 | Will you venture to commit sin for a groat or six pence, if there be so much opposition against God in it? |
| A77976 | Wilt thou break thy bounds in sinful waies to get out of affliction? |
| A77976 | Would you fain break your hearts for sin? |
| A77976 | Yea, now will God say here is somewhat done, when sinners cries come up to heaven; what hath been doing in this Congregation? |
| A77976 | You make Conscience of Superstition because sinful, and is not this Sin, as well as that? |
| A77976 | You will say, How can the delivering up to Santan be for the saving of the soul? |
| A77976 | and dost thou not account more the hazard of thy own soul? |
| A77976 | and how miserable is their condition, in that regard; who have given up themselves to follow Sin with greediness? |
| A77976 | and is this my way? |
| A77976 | and it should be answered every one of them murthered himself; were it not an object of pity? |
| A77976 | and my flesh of Brass? |
| A77976 | and not to keep his Commandements, but goest on in waies of sin? |
| A77976 | and so much ado? |
| A77976 | and such a womans Womb? |
| A77976 | and the soul of thy brother? |
| A77976 | and the strength of their Souls in serving God, that they need so much refreshing? |
| A77976 | and the tortures so sore? |
| A77976 | and was not I then charged as in the Name of God, and as ever I expected God should hear my crie in such a time, that I should hear his voyce? |
| A77976 | and what hurt hath God done to thee that thou shouldest be so malicious against him? |
| A77976 | and what if I were now to stand before God? |
| A77976 | and whether am I a going? |
| A77976 | and who is there almost but makes the mercy of God in some degree or other Serviceable to his lusts? |
| A77976 | and yet how ordinarie is this in the world? |
| A77976 | and yet will he have such thoughts of mercy, as to send his own Son to make up that wrong, and satisfie for the evil I have done? |
| A77976 | are not your hearts more hard than before? |
| A77976 | are you not more greedy upon Sin than before? |
| A77976 | art thou happie in the enjoyment of this? |
| A77976 | as if he had said, Lord, I did not think I had to deal with thee, who art thou Lord? |
| A77976 | because poison is sweet, and comes to be suitable because of the sweetnesse? |

| A77976 | heretofore your hearts were never stirred after Christ, what is the matter? |
| A77976 | how can Christ be rightly lifted up and advanced in our souls without a right sight and sence of sin? |
| A77976 | how durst they sit so stupidly under the powerful awaking means of Grace? |
| A77976 | how else could such vile thoughts be cherish''d, and such cursed practises and principles maintained? |

| A77976 | how manie in woful straits and extremities, for the Bodie? |
| A77976 | how otherwise are men more afraid of open shame than of secret sins? |
| A77976 | how sweet, and precious, and dear will Christ be to such a Soul? |
| A77976 | in all that ever they did in all their lives, yea, their best actions; how full of sin be those? |
| A77976 | in one sin? |
| A77976 | is it anie way likelie and probable, but that I must follow, when as they be there for the sins I brought them to? |

| A77976 | is not God infinitely worthy of all glory and honor in the world? |
| A77976 | is one spark of the wrath of God upon the soul so terrible? |
| A77976 | is that from grace? |
| A77976 | is the Devil come to be a Pursevant, or an Officer, or to give Warrants to cast into prison? |
| A77976 | it is not so great an evil, if it may be thus wash''t away? |

| A30579 | A follower of Christ? |
| A30579 | A friend to the Gospel? |
| A30579 | A vile person shall arise: What is this vile person? |
| A30579 | Ambrose hath such a speech upon the place, If the man had the soul of a swine, what could be said otherwise? |
| A30579 | And another thing that is very considerable, What is God so set upon the glory of his Justice in the Gospel? |
| A30579 | And are there any that make profession? |
| A30579 | And are thy services forc''d, that thou art compel''d? |
| A30579 | And are you troubled that you have no more of that that beasts may have as well as your selves? |
| A30579 | And do I see Learned and Godly men of another judgment? |
| A30579 | And do you but think what kind of portion that must needs be? |
| A30579 | And do you profess that the Lord hath enlightened you by his holy Spirit, to understand the certainty and reality of this? |
| A30579 | And hence then, what Conversation becomes this Gospel of Christ? |
| A30579 | And here in this Scripture he saith, Oh what shall I do? |
| A30579 | And secondly, What is it so to live as becometh the Gospel of Christ? |
| A30579 | And shall God account us to do that which is worthy of his Gospel? |
| A30579 | And so he tels us, Who art thou that judgest another? |
| A30579 | And so if one that professes the Gospel of Christ, would manifest that he is a good Christian, What doth he do? |
| A30579 | And what justice is there among men to do as they would be done by? |
| A30579 | And what''s the great argument in the Gospel to cause us to live godly in this present world? |
| A30579 | Another when he lay upon his sick bed, his friends came to him and said, What lack you? |
| A30579 | Are all the good things that the Father hath to cōmunicate of this world, and not Christ Himself of this world? |
| A30579 | Are you converted to Christ? |
| A30579 | Are you so desirous of it, as to be willing to leave them to the fury and rage of their Adversaries? |
| A30579 | Art thou hypocritical in thy service? |
| A30579 | As Judas,( not Iscariot) said, How is it that thou revealest thy self to us, and not unto the world? |
| A30579 | As if Christ should say, What, hath God brought the light of the Gospel to you? |
| A30579 | As if Paul had said to Timothy, it''s true, you meet with many difficulties, but hath not the Gospel given you a Spirit of power? |
| A30579 | As the Saints of God and all the Churches of God that knew him, they highly commended him, Why? |
| A30579 | Be all damn''d that do not this? |
| A30579 | Because Christ hath satisfied the Lawfully, and how can God require it in them? |
| A30579 | Because the time doth sanctifie the duty, being set apart by God: As in the Temple, the duty was more acceptable than in any other place, why? |
| A30579 | But You will say, If men be in an Error, why should they not be forced? |
| A30579 | But now you will say, Wherein should a man go beyond this as becomes the Gospel? |
| A30579 | But now, Art not thou a Christian? |
| A30579 | But then you will say, How doth He say, that His Kingdom is not of this world, if He he Lord over all the world? |
| A30579 | Can I be able to find any fault with them in their lives and Conversations? |
| A30579 | Can not a man be saved unless he do it? |
| A30579 | Can those that live with you see your Conversations so changed as to make them stand and admire at the work of the Gospel upon your hearts? |
| A30579 | Can thy conscience tell thee that thou hast done so? |
| A30579 | Can you think that if the Adversarie should prevail, you should be only at the dispose of the King? |
| A30579 | Canst thou have any evidence to thy soul that there is any work of grace in thee, and yet live looslie? |
| A30579 | Canst thou say as in the presence of God, that thy Conversation is answerable? |
| A30579 | Canst thou think that thou that art a means to send so many to Hell, that thou shalt not go thither thy self? |
| A30579 | Christ hath satisfied that: Hath Christ satisfied that? |
| A30579 | Demas( saith Paul) hath forsaken me, but what is it that hath made Demas to forsake me? |
| A30579 | Did not our forefathers know of life and immortality before? |
| A30579 | Did they in the time of the Law, know that these bodies of ours should be made more glorious than the Sun in the firmament? |
| A30579 | Did they know that our bodies should be made like to the glorious body of Jesus Christ? |
| A30579 | Did they know that the Saints were not only Heirs, but Co- heirs with Jesus Christ? |
| A30579 | Did they know the communion that the Saints shall have w th God, and with Jesus Christ in his bodily presence in glory? |
| A30579 | Did they understand the fruition of God, and Gods being all in all to the Saints, as he shal be in the communication of all fulness of good? |
| A30579 | Did they understand the inheritance of the Saints which is in light? |
| A30579 | Didst thou ever know the Lord Jesus Christ and the way of His Kingdom? |
| A30579 | Do not the Parliament themselves Govern in that kind of way? |
| A30579 | Do you beleeve this Gospel? |
| A30579 | Do you chalenge Rule over us and have not spoken the Word of God to us? |
| A30579 | Do you expect that this flesh of yours should be made like the Sun in the Heavens, like the glorious body of Jesus Christ? |
| A30579 | Do you hope that God hath wrought the work of Convertion? |
| A30579 | Do you know wherein you and they differ? |
| A30579 | Do you live like such as God hath not put off with the Portion of this world? |
| A30579 | Do you or I live as becomes the Gospel? |
| A30579 | Do you profess the Gospel? |
| A30579 | Do you spend as much breath in praying for these kind of men, as you do in railing upon them? |
| A30579 | Do you teach us the Word of God? |
| A30579 | Do you understand what they are you speak of? |
| A30579 | Dost not thou come home to thy wife and children, and say, I am an undone man: Why? |
| A30579 | Dost not thou count thy self an undone man, when thou hast lost some comforts? |
| A30579 | Dost thou aim at the praise of men in outward duties? |
| A30579 | Dost thou put off God with slight services? |
| A30579 | Doth not God for the present Curse thy portion? |
| A30579 | Epistle of Christ( you wil say) what''s the meaning of that? |
| A30579 | Everie one should consider this; what temptation am I most liable to? |
| A30579 | Fifthly, Who is the man that hath his Portion in this world? |
| A30579 | Fifthly, You abuse your portion you have now, what will you do with more? |
| A30579 | First, Why is it that God will deal out somewhat to wicked men in this world, why they shall have any Portion at all? |
| A30579 | For the Lords sake, do not lay down thy everlasting soul at stake for a little gain, some for a little credit; art thou a Christian? |
| A30579 | For the grace of God( saith he, that''s the Gospel) that bringeth salvation, hath appeared to all men:( What doth it teach us?) |
| A30579 | Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold: from what? |
| A30579 | Fourthly, These things that are here, they are the only sutable things to your hearts, and what will you do with any more hereafter? |
| A30579 | Further, Hast thou heretofore been a forward Professor in Religion, and hast thou forsaken the waies of God? |
| A30579 | Give up your hearts, strength, and endeavors what possibly you can to fulfill all righteousness, do not say, Why should I do thus? |
| A30579 | Hath God let you live under this Gospel, that you hear it it your ears? |
| A30579 | Have we the hopes and promises of such an inheritance in Heaven? |
| A30579 | Hence then, Cast away al sin as an abominable thing from you; What have I to do any more with Idols? |
| A30579 | Here is a great and a sore cross, you think, how shall I endure that? |
| A30579 | Here is their portion, it is confin''d to this life; Why so? |
| A30579 | How comes life and immortality to be brought to light through the Gospel? |
| A30579 | How did God manifest his love? |
| A30579 | How do the loss of the things of the world take thy heart? |
| A30579 | How high are they raised above other men? |
| A30579 | I am not excluded no more than others? |
| A30579 | I appeal to your consciences, Do not your consciences in hearing these things condemn you? |
| A30579 | I appeal to your consciences, Do you live so, as the glory of Christ shines in you in the course of your lives? |
| A30579 | I beseech you observe this text, Christ gave Himself to deliver us from our sins, that we might not perish eternally: And was that all? |
| A30579 | I but you will say, That is in Heaven? |
| A30579 | I fear there are some men never had such a thought in their lives; What if it should prove so, what a miserable creature were I? |
| A30579 | I hear indeed there are some men are put off so, what if it should prove to be my portion? |
| A30579 | I stand not so much upon that term, Whether as given by Moses? |
| A30579 | IN the sixt place, Would you know what Conversation becomes the Gospel? |
| A30579 | If there be any in a family that you care not much for, you make no great provision for them, Doth God take care for Oxen? |
| A30579 | If this be a Conversation becoming the Gospel, O Lord, how far are we from honoring the Gospel in our lives? |
| A30579 | If you ask me why it is that God the Father would not have His Son to have his kingdom in this world? |
| A30579 | Is it meerly conscience compels thee, and not an inward agreeableness between the frame of thy heart, and holy things? |
| A30579 | Is it not in a way wherein the dreadfullest Justice of God appears too? |
| A30579 | Is it so that wicked men have a portion here, and here is all? |
| A30579 | Is it such an excellent portion that they are so greedy of it? |
| A30579 | Is it worth so much, that they contend so much about it? |
| A30579 | Is not the grace of God let out to you through the blood of his Son? |
| A30579 | Is there any that can stand before the Son of Man in glory? |
| A30579 | Is there no Conversation that your consciences tell you would please God better, than that Conversation which you live in? |
| A30579 | Is there not righteousness in Him? |
| A30579 | Is this as becomes the Gospel? |
| A30579 | Is this becoming the Gospel, to stand with God for any thing? |
| A30579 | It is a very sweet and excellent Scripture, Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you: What should he do? |
| A30579 | It is in the very next words to my text, when Christ had said his Kingdom was not of this world, Pilate said to Him, Art thou a King then? |
| A30579 | Let every one of you that profess you love the Gospel, but think thus, Oh but shall I not hinder the Gospel if I listen and yeild to this temptation? |
| A30579 | Manie Christians live, and their Conuersations are very dark and no beauty at all in them; Why? |
| A30579 | Mark the Text, Why, can we poor worms do any thing worthy of the Gospel? |
| A30579 | Mark, striving together, he would have the Saints to be strivers: I but strivers for what? |
| A30579 | Mark, what a title is here? |
| A30579 | May there not be Wars and fighting for the maintainance of Religion and the Kingdom of Christ? |
| A30579 | Must I do it? |
| A30579 | My Kingdom is not of this world( saith Christ) Therefore, why should any that come under my kingdom look for great things in this world? |
| A30579 | No( that you''l say) and therefore we account our condition ill now, for we have Arbitrary Governments amongst us now, And who are they? |
| A30579 | Now dost thou know the price of a soul? |
| A30579 | Now if a soul should make this moan to Jesus Christ, do you think that Christ would account this man a schismatick? |
| A30579 | Now if they have as worldly hearts as others, how can they be the lights of the world? |
| A30579 | Now if you must enter into a full possession of this glorious Kingdom through sufferings, why should you murmur? |
| A30579 | Now if you should ask me, what Conversation is becoming the Gospel? |
| A30579 | Now if you should say, Wherein should we walk so? |
| A30579 | Now is your conversations as becometh the Gospel? |
| A30579 | Now suppose his Excellency, that hath done so much service for the kingdom, when he shall come, What an entrance will be made for him into the City? |
| A30579 | Now then I would appeal and put this to your consciences, Are your Conversations now, such as can give you comfort? |
| A30579 | Now what Conversation is sutable to this? |
| A30579 | Now what Conversation is sutable to this? |
| A30579 | Now what a many enemies hath the Gospel at this day? |
| A30579 | Now, was this the end of the death of Christ, not only to reconcile us to God, but one unto another in one body, Jew and Gentile? |
| A30579 | O what Conversation becomes this, that we should be principled and acted with the same Spirit? |
| A30579 | O what a stir is therein the world to satisfie the wils of a few men in the world? |
| A30579 | Oh consider now, whether there be not like to be perplexity in your Spirits? |
| A30579 | Oh how unbeseeming is this to the Gospel? |
| A30579 | Oh how unsutable are fleshly lusts to a spiritual man? |
| A30579 | Oh now my brethren, how ought we to live? |
| A30579 | Oh then, What Conversation become this? |
| A30579 | Oh this is infinitly unbeseeming the Gospel of Jesus Christ: do I beleeve this, and is it real unto my soul? |
| A30579 | Oh those that are godly, when they see others that profess godlines to walk in a strict and holy conversation, how doth it rejoyce their hearts? |
| A30579 | Oh where is you bearing and forbearing with one another? |
| A30579 | Oh you say, you have repented you of your sins: the word that is translated there repentance; it is, change of mind: Oh hath God changed your mind? |
| A30579 | On the other side, Here''s a sin to be committed; if I venture upon this sin, it may be I shall be delivered from this affliction? |
| A30579 | Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into His Glory? |
| A30579 | Put on: Why? |
| A30579 | Q. Wherefore did he make you? |
| A30579 | Quest ▪ You will say to me, How should one know when a man is a man of this world? |
| A30579 | Saith an Ancient, what doth beastly fierceness and cruelty, and savigeness do in the breast of a Christian? |
| A30579 | Saith he, Who am I, and what is my Fathers house, that I should be thus chosen? |
| A30579 | Saul was a man chosen immediately by God himself, to be the first King that ever was over his own people; and was not that a great favor? |
| A30579 | Secondly, That this their portion, it is confin''d to this life; and why so? |
| A30579 | Shal they see their conversations to be holy as becomes the Gospel of Jesus Christ? |
| A30579 | Shall every man be lest to his Opinion, to do what he will? |
| A30579 | So God will answer to many men, when they shall cry to him for mercy, at that day, Why come you to me for more? |
| A30579 | So I may say concerning many professors, look upon their Conversations, and what is this the Coat? |
| A30579 | So I say concerning you: Ought not you to suffer first, and then to enter into your glory? |
| A30579 | So may I say to you that are godly, Hath God given you Jesus Christ? |
| A30579 | So may a man that hath his portion in this world here, say at his death, Where is this poor soul of mine going? |
| A30579 | So that when God cals for anything, never think it much, Oh this is hard and costly and dear to me, and how shall I part with this? |

| A30574 | what a longing desire should we have to see that Book? |

| A30574 | what are our sacrifices, if they be nothing but fleshly excellencies? |
| A30574 | what care had we need have of what we love, Doest thou love a base filthy thing? |

| A30574 | what shall we do in such a distressed state as this? |
| A30574 | what shall we do? |
| A30574 | what shame and confusion will there be at the great day when we shall be disappointed of our last hopes? |
| A30574 | what shame would it be before men and Angels if it should prove that any soul in this place should be so disappointed of their last hopes? |

| A30574 | when all this is the matter of your joy, what an unreasonable thing is this? |
| A30574 | when the way is apparently Gods, why should we be so fickle and unsteadie as we are almost alwaies in the way of God? |

| A30575 | ''T is a speech of Chrysostom, Why doest thou despise, and despight God in this, in bringing unclean things to him? |
| A30575 | ( saith the Scripture) or what profit is there of Circumcision? |
| A30575 | ( speaking of riches) Now it is according to the Hebrew, Will ye make your eyes to fly upon that which is not? |
| A30575 | 1. Who is this, that cometh from Edom? |
| A30575 | 13. saith he, Their fear towards me is taught by the precepts of men: What then? |
| A30575 | 13. when he appeared to Jacob, what said he to him? |
| A30575 | 14. there it''s spoken of God, that he did wonders and marvellous things; What are those wonders and marvellous things? |
| A30575 | 17. he calls him his Enemy, saying to Michel, Why hast thou sent away mine Enemy? |
| A30575 | 22. which is spoken in reference to their way, coming out of their captivity; How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? |
| A30575 | 28. we reade of one Gaal the son of Ebed, who said, Who is Abimelech? |
| A30575 | 333 Cords Cords of a man, what? |
| A30575 | 4 It''s great confusion to carnal hearts when they shall be asked, Where''s their confidences? |
| A30575 | 4. Who hath hardened himself against him and hath prospered? |
| A30575 | 4. saith he, The Nations shal hear al these Statutes, and say, Surely this great Nation is a wise and understanding people,( why?) |
| A30575 | 4? |
| A30575 | 5. he speaks of Christ there cleerly, and saith, To which of the Angels bath he said, Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee? |
| A30575 | 7. hath he smitten him, as he smot those that smit him? |
| A30575 | 7. saith God there, Are ye not as the children of the Ethiopians unto me? |
| A30575 | 7. the text saith, That in the daies of his flesh he offered up prayers and supplications,( how?) |
| A30575 | 8. Who are those that fly as a cloud, and as the Doves to their windows? |
| A30575 | 8. when those Hypocrits had said, What shall we do? |
| A30575 | A Ninth Observation is this; you see when God, though he threatned very sorely, and charges deeply, yet, How shall I do this? |
| A30575 | Again, I come to enjoy abundance here in the Creature: But is there not danger, is there not a snare in what I do enjoy? |
| A30575 | Am I not a Reprobate? |
| A30575 | And Drusius he reades it Interogatively, Who hath destroyed thee? |
| A30575 | And Pareus he read it, Against thy help, and so supplies the word, Thou hast rebelled against thy help, Oh thou hast destroyed thy help; Why? |
| A30575 | And did not God deal honorably with them? |
| A30575 | And he said unto them, What have I done now in comparison of you? |
| A30575 | And if ever you have need of God again, how will conscience be stop''d? |
| A30575 | And is it so? |
| A30575 | And it may be for a time you seem to have some patience; But hath Patience had her perfect work in you? |
| A30575 | And my brethren, this is not meant meerly of the times of the Law; for this anger of God upon them is to this very day? |
| A30575 | And shewed you how that all those that had to deal with men to draw them to God should do as God doth, labor to draw them with Bonds of Love? |
| A30575 | And sixtly, Doth the love of God to his people begin so soon? |
| A30575 | And so we were going to most vile and abominable Idolatry, but by what steps? |
| A30575 | And then Secondly, How will the shame and confusion of men be aggravated hereafter, which did disregard Gods using of them in an honorable way? |
| A30575 | And then Thirdly, Is this Gods way? |
| A30575 | And then secondly, But would you know whether God would love you? |
| A30575 | And therefore they translate it so, How shall I protect thee? |
| A30575 | And this is the reason that your Goal- birds never com to any good almost; Why? |
| A30575 | And this waiting is of very great use to those that are turning to God, Consider of it, Is any of you about the work of turning to God? |
| A30575 | And thus much for those words, How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? |
| A30575 | And why may not the Lord that hath brought us out of Egypt, bring us to rejoyce as in the feast of Tabernacles? |
| A30575 | And why? |
| A30575 | And yet can not thy heart be overturned, nor tremble? |
| A30575 | And you can not better your self: Whither wilt thou go, poor soul? |
| A30575 | And you that would fain have more and more, have you digested what you have had? |
| A30575 | And you who were so poor in the wilderness, depending on me for every bit of bread; yet after when you were fed, how proud and wanton grew you? |
| A30575 | Are not they thy People? |
| A30575 | Are not you grown flat, dead, and drossie, and carnal now more than before? |
| A30575 | Are they not those that I have had sweet converse with, and experience of their godliness? |
| A30575 | Art thou come to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son? |
| A30575 | As here in a Kingdom, so in an Estate, Hast thou a little Estate, yea, but hast thou it with God? |
| A30575 | As if he should have said, what a case had you been in, if I had not delivered you out of Egypt, from the Iron furnace, a low, base imployment? |
| A30575 | As if he should say, I am the same God that ever I was, but where is your King that should save you in your Cities? |
| A30575 | As if he should say, Lord, how will thy promise be fulfill''d? |
| A30575 | Asked them, Where''s all your Bravery, and Pride, and Rage? |
| A30575 | At that time when Forces were raised( before the Parliament) against our Brethren of Scotland, then said the Lord, How shall I give thee up? |
| A30575 | Baal- zephon what? |
| A30575 | But I rather take it thus; Who shall find iniquity in me that were any great matter? |
| A30575 | But can we say, that according to our green Pastures that God leads us in, so are we filled? |
| A30575 | But how did he prevail? |
| A30575 | But how doth the Prophet make use of this Title of God, The Lord of Hosts? |
| A30575 | But how in the midst, when they so vile, and cast off from being his people, a sink of Idolatry and wickedness? |
| A30575 | But how was this true? |
| A30575 | But if you make a stop there, I will be, your King; where is he that shall save you in your Cities? |
| A30575 | But it may be demanded: When are Kings and Princes given in anger? |
| A30575 | But it''s better if men before they have sinned would say, How shall I do it? |
| A30575 | But now, doth not this argue God to be a God of ridgedness and severity? |
| A30575 | But then Secondly, Why is Jacob mentioned in this place? |
| A30575 | But they might say, Do not we turn to God? |
| A30575 | But to another it''s nothing, What, Shall the Ministry of the Word countervail the loss of my estate? |
| A30575 | But what''s the meaning of this,( you will say?) |
| A30575 | But when was this? |
| A30575 | But where are they, saith God? |
| A30575 | But will he be such a Savior to me, in my condition? |
| A30575 | But you should consider what though such and such opinions and waies will serve my turn, will they not be burdens to others? |
| A30575 | But you wil ask me, What''s the reason that nothing would satisfie them but a King and Nobles? |
| A30575 | But you wil say, Why doth God express himself thus? |
| A30575 | But you will say, He can love, I but, Will He love? |
| A30575 | But you will say, They are so wicked that how can I hope to have love from them? |
| A30575 | But, how shall I make thee as Admah and Zeboim? |
| A30575 | By way of Interogation some reade it thus, What shall I the Lord that brought thee out of the Land of Egypt make thee to dwell in Tabernacles? |
| A30575 | Can any God work for you so as I have done? |
| A30575 | Can you mend your self any way? |
| A30575 | Can you stand it out with God? |
| A30575 | Canst thou say, Oh Righteous Father? |
| A30575 | Convert A true Convert, what? |
| A30575 | Covetousness it is a beforting sin, it is a blinding sin; Who shall find any iniquity in me? |
| A30575 | Cur Domine eū ficisti Imperatorum? |
| A30575 | Dangerous A dangerous sign of Reprobation 544 Deceiptful dealers Deceiptful dealers, see Excuses Decree Decree, what it is? |
| A30575 | Did he not name wild beasts enough before? |
| A30575 | Did not God approve of it? |
| A30575 | Did not God fight for them before? |
| A30575 | Did not God gain upon your hearts in a gentle way? |
| A30575 | Did not all say, even at the first year when the Wars began, Surely things would be very scarce? |
| A30575 | Did not that terrifie him? |
| A30575 | Do not we see how fast we run towards destruction, being but a little left to our selves, what a perverse spirit is there now among our selves? |
| A30575 | Do ye provoke the Lord to jealousie? |
| A30575 | Do you expect that Gods heart should work strongly towards you to do you good, and yet nothing stir in you? |
| A30575 | Do your souls worship God, and sanctifie the Name of God in all your waies? |
| A30575 | Doest thou profess any interest in God? |
| A30575 | Doest thou think that another mans evil may be an excuse to thy evil? |
| A30575 | Doth God at any time melt thy heart, and make thee apprehensive of thy need of mercy? |
| A30575 | Doth God call you, and you not answer to him? |
| A30575 | Doth God put a difference between Reprobates and his People in punishment? |
| A30575 | Doth a Fountain send forth, at the same place, sweet water, and bitter? |
| A30575 | Doth it become the Captain of our salvation in his seeking of God to weep? |
| A30575 | Doth not Judah do so aswel as we? |
| A30575 | Doth thy conscience tell thee that there hath been a time wherein God hath been displeased with thee, the anger of God hath burst out against thee? |
| A30575 | Everie fool may do mischief to himself, yea, and to others, but can he help? |
| A30575 | Examin I beseech you, when you were low any of you, say, had you not more of Gods presence with you then, than you have now? |
| A30575 | Excellency Excellency of the Name JEHOVAH 293 Excellency of Gods saving 449 Exalted We should not be exalted by prosperity, and why? |
| A30575 | First, How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? |
| A30575 | First, How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? |
| A30575 | For First, What low and mean things are they? |
| A30575 | For my love, they are my adversaries( but what then?) |
| A30575 | For so it is, Where is your King that should save you in your Cities? |
| A30575 | For the Answer: That which before was said, will give sufficient answer to it, How shall I make thee as Admah, and Zeboim? |
| A30575 | Fourthly, How shall I s ● t thee as Zeboim? |
| A30575 | Fourthly, Now I come to enjoy abundance, What''s the rule that God hath set in the Word for the ordering of my heart in what I do enjoy? |
| A30575 | Further, I have abundance; but what uncertainty is there in all these things? |
| A30575 | God doth seem as it were to be at a stand, How shall I do to save these sinners, and yet not to wrong my self? |
| A30575 | God gives me abundance of the creature, but what is Gods end? |
| A30575 | God knows that many times it was ready to sink, and if I had left off, what had become of me? |
| A30575 | God made his glory pass by him, and what was it? |
| A30575 | God might without any more ado pardon, and help, or deliver, why should he express himself in this manner? |
| A30575 | God, what God? |
| A30575 | Gods mercy is his own; If God wil destroy Admah and Zeboim eternally; who can say against Gods dealings with them? |
| A30575 | Had not God blessed the endeavors of a Prophet for good unto your forefathers, where had you been at this day? |
| A30575 | Have I conceived all this people? |
| A30575 | Have not some of you heard such language many times in this Kingdom? |
| A30575 | Have not you found it thus many times in your selves? |
| A30575 | Have not you found this fruit of the Ministry of the Word in your hearts, calling you many a time to the most high God? |
| A30575 | Have you to deal with stony hearts? |
| A30575 | He lets them have them, but how? |
| A30575 | He tells also of the Bishop of Thebais, being proud because advanced: Had these words spoken to him: Wherefore miserable man art thou proud? |
| A30575 | He went on frowardly when I smote him; what then? |
| A30575 | Hence let us learn what to do when any temptation comes to any sin: What, is it thus with God? |
| A30575 | Here we have in your books four[ How''s] How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? |
| A30575 | His Lord] What is God the Lord of this people? |
| A30575 | How comes it to pass that Israel is dealt withall so as he is? |
| A30575 | How doth the Work of God seem against his Word in appearance? |
| A30575 | How fair and how pleasant art thou, O Love, for delights? |
| A30575 | How fair and how pleasant is Love? |
| A30575 | How few Country Villages about the City were supplied with faithful Preachers? |
| A30575 | How foolish were they, to forsake the blessed God, to worship Calves? |
| A30575 | How if these should prove to be temptations to me to draw my heart from God; were I not better be without them? |
| A30575 | How many mens hearts and waies are so different from what they seem''d to be? |
| A30575 | How often when men have been willing to give any thing to God, God hath made it up in one yeer? |
| A30575 | How shall I deliver thee, Israel? |
| A30575 | How shall I deliver thee, Israel? |
| A30575 | How shall I deliver thee? |

| A30575 | How shall I set thee as Zeboim? |
| A30575 | How shall I set thee as Zeboim? |
| A30575 | How shall it be for mine honor that thou shouldest be under my protection? |
| A30575 | How to know whether God will love us or no? |
| A30575 | How we may know when God takes away and not in wrath? |
| A30575 | How weak is thy heart, saith the Lord, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman? |
| A30575 | How? |
| A30575 | How? |
| A30575 | I am infinitly above man: Wherein O Lord art thou above them? |
| A30575 | I am that I am, or, I will be what I will be; so saith God here, I am Lord, I will be; but then where is your King? |
| A30575 | I am yet what ever I seemed to be to you, why are you so perverse and untoward towards me? |
| A30575 | I can not beat it whoever provokes me, why should I think that the infinite God should bear with me when I provoke him? |
| A30575 | I confess in the Hebrew there are but two, but yet for the sense of it the Interpreters put in the other, and they have the sense of four, How? |
| A30575 | I have it now, but how quickly may it be gone? |
| A30575 | I have loved you, saith the Lord; yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? |
| A30575 | I have much, Oh but considering how little service I do for God, may not I fear that this I have it is to be my portion? |
| A30575 | I have much, but have I not much engagements with what I do enjoy? |
| A30575 | I may vent my self, but what good may come of it? |
| A30575 | I say, this confounding[ Where] will be asked to every wicked and ungodly man: What will they be able to say then? |
| A30575 | I see infirmities in them, I, but notwithstanding my great sins, God saith of me, How shall I give thee up? |
| A30575 | I shall have the glory of my Justice; I, but it will be but passively: And will that be much, to have the glory of Justice in a passive way? |
| A30575 | I will be thy King: Where is any other that may save thee in all thy Cities? |
| A30575 | If I buy a commodity and sell it again, what oppression can there be? |
| A30575 | If a man comes to a Table and eats, and then he swels presently upon it, God be merciful to me, am I poisoned, saith he? |
| A30575 | If a man were to go and chuse a Wife, if he knew her face were painted, would he conclude, Surely here''s one of an excellent complexion? |
| A30575 | If indeed Israel could have said thus, You indeed complain of our false worship, Who doth otherwise? |
| A30575 | If the Ox be but fed, he knows his Owner: Who is it that feeds you? |
| A30575 | If we enquire what that way is? |
| A30575 | If you ask me what were those Bonds of Love that God drew this people of Israel unto Himself by? |
| A30575 | In the Fourth place, Sin puts God to a stand; How shall I do it? |
| A30575 | Indeed the words may carry it, Who shall find iniquity in me? |
| A30575 | Is Ephraim my dear Son? |
| A30575 | Is Ephraim my dear son? |
| A30575 | Is Israel a Servant? |
| A30575 | Is Israel a Servant? |

| A30575 | Is it not possible why there should be some other grounds why they differ from their brethren, but meerly stiff- neckedness? |
| A30575 | Is not Judah as bad as we? |
| A30575 | Is not our God a gracious God, and a merciful God? |

| A30575 | It follows; How shall I make thee as Admah, and set thee as Zeboim? |
| A30575 | It is a vain conceit of people to think thus, God loves me, why? |
| A30575 | It is my child, though stuborn, why may it not return? |
| A30575 | It is your foolish, wilful stubornness, going on in such a vile, finful way that puts God to such a stand; What shall I do? |
| A30575 | It may be in a way of aggravation of their sin and stubbornness, Why doest not thou come in to me? |
| A30575 | It may be there is som of you that are very just, yea, but what worship of God is there in your Families, and in your own hearts? |
| A30575 | It were well my brethren, if men after they have sinned would say, Oh, what have I done? |
| A30575 | It''s true, we have suffered something, yea, but hath not God wrought good out of our sufferings? |
| A30575 | Joshuah he was of the Tribe of Ephraim, and when Joshua spake, what trembling was there among all the people? |
| A30575 | Just like to the plea that some heretofore have had, What, do not our Ministers do thus? |
| A30575 | Mark the answer there: How can it be quiet, seeing the Lord hath given it a charge? |
| A30575 | Mark, all the Nations that are about you shall say, What Nation is there so wise, that hath Statutes and Judgments like this Nation? |
| A30575 | Mens inventions are low things, are base and unworthy things, Oh consider whether thou findest this in the Worship of God? |
| A30575 | My Brethren, What are we but almost like Egypt this day? |
| A30575 | My brethren, let us search our hearts; there was a great forwardness of Reformation in the beginning of the Parliament, then how did men stir? |
| A30575 | Now my brethren, all this I have done to that end, that your hearts may be gained unto God; And what wilt thou do now? |
| A30575 | Now what a difference is there in the hearts of men in these daies? |
| A30575 | Now what abundance hath God wrought by deferring what we would have had? |
| A30575 | Now when Christ ascended up to be crowned on high, What was the great thing that he gave in the world? |
| A30575 | Now you are seeking God, you have not what you would have, Whither will you go? |
| A30575 | Now you will say, What doth the holy Ghost mean here? |
| A30575 | O thou Sword of the Lord, How long will it be ere thou be quiet? |
| A30575 | Oh but you will say, Why do you speak thus? |
| A30575 | Or as some others reade it, What shall I do to thee? |
| A30575 | Or if you take it as it is in your books, How shall I give thee up? |
| A30575 | Or it may be people would speak thus to the Prophet, Oh why do you speak of God in this terrible manner? |
| A30575 | Parents are charged not so much as to provoke their Children to wrath; And wilt thou provoke God then? |
| A30575 | Prisoners that are chained at a Post, they are altogether all the day long: But would you have such a kind of union, to be united with such chains? |
| A30575 | Q But how doth this concern us? |
| A30575 | Samuel could appeal to them, Whose Ox, or Ass have I taken? |
| A30575 | Secondly, How shall I deliver thee, Israel? |
| A30575 | Secondly, What do I think God aims at? |
| A30575 | Shall I account them pure with the wicked ballances, and with the bag of deceiptful weights? |
| A30575 | Shall I yet continue my wonted love to you as to make you to keep your Feast of Tabernacles still with joy as you were wo nt to do yeerly? |
| A30575 | Shall it not wither when the East wind toucheth it? |
| A30575 | Shall it not wither when the East wind toucheth it? |
| A30575 | Should a wise man utter vain knowledg, and fill his belly with the East wind? |
| A30575 | Since you know God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye to the weak and beggerly elements of the world? |
| A30575 | Sixthly, God gives me abundance of the Creature: but what is it that makes the difference between me and others? |
| A30575 | So Carnal hearts look only at Flowers; but gracious hearts look at the Root: I have such and such a thing, but have I an evidence of Gods love? |
| A30575 | So the Septuagint Translation, Where is your King( say they?) |
| A30575 | So wert not thou of such a Familie? |
| A30575 | So, doth God bring into great straights? |
| A30575 | So, shall we leave our Oyl? |
| A30575 | Spake, what? |
| A30575 | Still mark how God urges this, when you come to fast; Is this the Fast that I require, to do thus and thus? |
| A30575 | Strength: What strength, you will say? |
| A30575 | Suppose we go on in the waies of death and perish, what shal God lose by it? |
| A30575 | THEY were readie to say, Why do you thus blame us for our eager desire? |
| A30575 | The Angels they excel in strength, the most excellent Creatures, and what, do they slight and disregard the Word of God? |
| A30575 | The Greek thus, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉? |
| A30575 | The Lyon hath roared, who will not tremble? |
| A30575 | The Notes from the words are these: First, Those things that carnal hearts rest upon will vanish; Where are they, saith God, what''s become of them? |
| A30575 | The Septuagint they turn the words, How shall I protect thee? |
| A30575 | The old man forgetful of his yeers pursueth him flying, and crieth: My son, why fliest thou from me thy father, unarmed and old? |
| A30575 | The ten Tribes might say, Doth God threaten us? |
| A30575 | Then God is Love himself, he is the Element of Love; And whither should love go but up to the Element? |
| A30575 | Then when any temptation comes to us to sin against God, Oh let us say, How shall I do this, and sin against God? |
| A30575 | There is a time to love; when is the time? |
| A30575 | There was a time that conscience was against it; how came you to get leave of your conscience? |
| A30575 | There was none exalted him, but they followed their own Counsels and did what they list, yet, how shall I give thee up? |
| A30575 | There''s such Religious men speak thus, and others that we account as Religious as they speak quite contrary; Is there any Religion in the world? |
| A30575 | Therefore I will do a mervailous work among the People, even a mervailous work and a wonder;( What''s the mervailous work, what''s the wonder?) |
| A30575 | Therfore, O you Saints of God, never be afraid of evil men, for ere long it will be demanded of them, where their Pomp, and Glory, and Pride is? |
| A30575 | They are said to be strong- hearted, stiff hearted, but saith the holy Ghost, how weak is thy heart? |
| A30575 | Thirdly, A Lyon is strong and crushes the whol compages of a mans bones at one crush; Alas man, what is he? |
| A30575 | Thirdly, I come now to fit my self with these contentments, but what opportunities have I by these to do good more than before? |
| A30575 | This is that the Lord threatens here; and why? |
| A30575 | This seems plainly to be even the scope of this Charge, Is there iniquity in Gilead? |
| A30575 | Thou hast( saith the text) defiled thy Sanctuaries( how?) |
| A30575 | Thou, even thou art to be feared; and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry? |
| A30575 | Though Ephraim the yonger, yet when he got Authority in his hand, how imperious was he? |
| A30575 | Though the affliction doth continue a great while, Will you patiently hold out to long- suffering, and that with joyfulness? |
| A30575 | Thus saith the Lord, Shall they fall, and not arise? |
| A30575 | True, I think such and such they are in the wrong, but what good will come of it if I do thus and thus? |
| A30575 | Truly, I do not know a greater temptation to Atheism at this day than this is, for what will men think? |
| A30575 | Twelfthly, If I destroy them, what glory shall I have? |
| A30575 | Vnto all patience] It may be you have strength to bear some afflictions, you have some patience; But are you strengthened with all might? |
| A30575 | Was it not free Grace, free Grace in in the kind of it? |
| A30575 | Was not Esau Jacob''s brother, saith God? |
| A30575 | Was not Esau Jacob''s brother, saith the Lord? |
| A30575 | Was there ever times of provoking so as there are now? |
| A30575 | Was this story to be a means to humble the people for their sins? |
| A30575 | We can easily destroy our selves, but can we save our selves? |
| A30575 | We reade of bands of Love, but what''s become of them? |
| A30575 | We say sometimes of the Prelates, Oh the hand of God is against them; how they brought themselves into a snare? |
| A30575 | We say to a child, Your father calls you, or to a servant, your master calls you, will you not answer? |
| A30575 | Wel, here was Gods Word, But how was Gods Work? |
| A30575 | Well, but though they be burdens, if they be truths, why should they not be urged? |
| A30575 | Well, but wherein did God manifest that he did love Israel when he was a Child? |
