A02590 | Of the subsequents: For, what peace was vnder the Herodian Temple? |
A02590 | Oh, what shall be the Iudgements of his wrath? |
A02590 | Quare fremuerunt gentes? |
A02590 | Should all the powers of Hell band themselues with those on earth, Quis restitit? |
A02590 | They shall see the Almightie putting himselfe into the fearefull formes of vengeance; Who can stand before his indignation? |
A02590 | What care I? |
A02590 | What hills of Carcasses? |
A02590 | What power haue they of being, of motion, but from him whom they oppose? |
A02590 | What streames of blood was in''t at the last vastation? |
A02590 | Whence? |
A02590 | Wherefore haue we ours; but to dwell in? |
A02590 | Wherefore then hath God an house? |
A02590 | Wherein then is the glory of Gods Euangelicall House greater, then of the Legall? |
A02590 | Who hath resisted his will? |
A02590 | Why doe the Heathen rage, and the people imagine a vaine thing? |
A02590 | Will yee then see the reason why there is so much emptie Caske in the Celler of God? |
A02590 | Would we then auoyde the vnspeakeable horror of this wofull condition? |
A02590 | Would wee find the bed of our sicknesse and death, comforted with the sweete testimony of an heauenly peace betwixt God and our soules? |
A02590 | Wouldst thou pray with effect at home? |
A02590 | Yea, wherein is it not greater? |
A02590 | Yea, why are we apalled, when we see the measures of the sonnes of Anak; the spirituall wickednesses in heauenly places? |
A02590 | but let me as truly returne it; In te vis or are, in templo ora? |
A02590 | nay, What doth God care for the worke of a Lapidary, or Painter, or Mason? |
A02584 | Alas, poore man, at what distance doth hee see us? |
A02584 | Alas, poore soules, doe they not know, that Hypocrites, leud persons, reprobates, are no lesse members of the true visible Church? |
A02584 | And how doth S. Paul call that Church, wherein Antichrist( hee saith) shall sit, the Temple of God? |
A02584 | As those friendly souldiers therefore, of old, said to their fellowes( 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉?) |
A02584 | But fearing the true reproch cast by Iob in his friends teeth, a Will you speake wickedly for God, and talke deceitfully for him? |
A02584 | But, doe you not say, It is a true visible Church? |
A02584 | Doe you not yeeld some kinde of communion with these clients of Antichrist? |
A02584 | For the former; Hee that saith a theefe is truly a man, doth hee therein fauour that theefe? |
A02584 | For who perceiues not, that your Lordship leaues no more to Rome, then our best Diuines euer since the Reformation haue granted? |
A02584 | He that saith, a diseased, dropsied, dying bodie, is a true( though corrupt) body, doth he favour that disease, or that living carcasse? |
A02584 | If we durst have taken their part in these, this breach had not beene; Now who can but say that wee must hate their evill, and allow their good? |
A02584 | Is the sea- weed ever the lesse vile, because it is dragd vp together with good fish? |
A02584 | Loe; say they, we are of the true visible Church; this is enough for us; why are we forsaken, why are we presecuted, why are we solicited to change? |
A02584 | Neither bee you troubled with that idle exprobration of a Prebendary retribution; who would care for a contumely so void of truth? |
A02584 | Therefore he said vnto them, p Where are the Letters of your mothers diuorcement, whom I haue put away? |
A02584 | To what purpose did the Iewes crie, The Temple of the Lord, whiles they despighted the Lord of that Temple? |
A02584 | What blacke Art hath raised up this spirit of Aerius from his pit? |
A02584 | What is, if this be not, favour? |
A02584 | What need I vrge this? |
A02584 | What speake we of? |
A02584 | or where is the subject of our question? |
A02584 | what gaine they by this but a deeper damnation? |
A02584 | who sees not that there is a morall trueness, and a naturall? |
A02584 | why fight we? |
A02568 | & c. Ego forensibus causis affixus sum,& c. Vxorem alo& liberos, familiae curamgero& c. Qui montium vertices occuparunt,& c. Quid ais homo? |
A02568 | ? |
A02568 | A Religion, that vtterly ouerthrowes the perfection of Christs satisfaction: If all be not paid, how hath he satisfied? |
A02568 | Alas you can not be condemned without our sorrow& shame: What should we do? |
A02568 | As also the signes, miracles, histories are not they knowne and manifest to euery man? |
A02568 | But you will say, What if a iust Prelate commaund his spirituall sonnes, to pray or fast for the departed, and those sonnes be vniust? |
A02568 | Dominus narrabit,& quomodo narrabit? |
A02568 | He that giues you right to the succession of this claime, giues you such an example, as what Father euer gaue a Son? |
A02568 | How could you choose but be in loue with this superstition, Magicke, blasphemy practised, and maintained by the heads of your Church? |
A02568 | I answere according to all our Doctors, that he may; But what if he be compelled to sweare? |
A02568 | If temporall punishments in purgatory be yet due, how is all paid? |
A02568 | In the meane time what spirituall phrensie hath ouertaken you, that you can finde no beauty, but in this monster of errors? |
A02568 | Inter nos autem& Donatistas quaestio est, vbi sit ecclesia, quid ergo facturi sumus? |
A02568 | May he say that he knowes not of it? |
A02568 | Non verbo, sedscriptura, in cuius scriptura? |
A02568 | Not by word but by writing; In whose writing? |
A02568 | Sed fac quod Iudex aut praelatus ex malitia exigat a me iuramentum, an sciam in confessione? |
A02568 | So be it: Yea so it will be: how can it be that so many and faithfull prayers of all Gods faithfull ones through the world should haue other successe? |
A02568 | THere is yet one question amongst our Diuines: For what be those remainders of sinne, which are done away by this anointing? |
A02568 | The Lord will declare; and how will he declare? |
A02568 | Their numbers perhaps, and our handfuls? |
A02568 | We can but intreat, perswade, protest, mourn,& gage our souls for yours; if these auaile not, who can remedy that which will perish? |
A02568 | What can you plead yet more for your change? |
A02568 | What gaine we then? |
A02568 | What is it then, that could thus bewitch you to forsake the comely and heauenly truth of God, and to dote vpon this beastly strumpet? |
A02568 | What sayest thou O man? |
A02568 | What then could stir you? |
A02568 | Who is there to whom all is not manifest, which is written in the Gospel? |
A02568 | You heard all the world was theirs, scarce any corner ours: How could you but suspect a few? |
A02568 | and if so many be acknowledged, thinke how many there are that lurke in secret, and will not be confessed? |
A02568 | and if these must be paid by vs, how are they satisfied by him? |
A02568 | shall we seeke her in our owne words, or in the words of her head, the Lord Iesus Christ? |
A02568 | to change your Religion, for a ridiculous, sensuall, cruell, irreligious faction? |
A02537 | Alas, how little is this regarded in the world? |
A02537 | Alas, what shall wee thinke, or say of the condition of those men, which neuer follow any other aduice than what they take of their owne heart? |
A02537 | And can the heart be wiser than it selfe? |
A02537 | And what certainty, what safety can it be for a man to liue vnacquainted with himselfe? |
A02537 | Could they be so loth to possesse it? |
A02537 | Could they so sleight heauen if they beleeued it? |
A02537 | Could they thinke much of a little painfull goodnesse to purchase an eternity of happinesse? |
A02537 | Doe the Disciples miraculously speake all the tongues of Babel? |
A02537 | Durst they sin if they were perswaded of an hell? |
A02537 | He that formed the eye, shall he not see? |
A02537 | Hee that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he vnderstand? |
A02537 | How camest thou in hither? |
A02537 | How many millions thinke they walke fairely on to heauen, when indeed they are in the broad way that leads to destruction? |
A02537 | In the first kinde; What hath not the fond heart of man dared to arrogate to it selfe? |
A02537 | Is a man conscionable? |
A02537 | Lord, haue not we heard thee preach in out streets? |
A02537 | Others, first: How many doe we take for honest and sound Christians, who yet are but errant hypocrites? |
A02537 | Our Sauiour hath bidden vs be wise as Serpents; What should bee wise but the heart? |
A02537 | They are full of new wine: Doe they preach Christs Kingdome? |
A02537 | What comfort can you finde in publike seruice to the state against offenders, if you should carry a fraudulent and wicked heart in your owne bosomes? |
A02537 | What needs all this waste? |
A02537 | Would the Israelites be deuout? |
A02537 | Ye haue seene the fashion of this deceit; cast now your eies vpon the subiect: And whom doth it then deceiue? |
A02537 | durst they buy a minute of pleasure with euerlasting torments? |
A02537 | haue not we cast out Deuils in thy name? |
A02537 | he is a foole in a Morris: Doth Saint Paul discourse of his heauenly Vision? |
A02537 | he is an Hypocrite: Is he conformable? |
A02537 | he is rudely vnciuill: Is he wisely insinuatiue? |
A02537 | he is vnconscionable: Is he plaine dealing? |
A02537 | hee hath a thousand quirks to cozen both law and conscience: Is a Simoniacall Patron disposed to make a good match of his peoples soules? |
A02537 | they are idle; Doth Dauid daunce for ioy before the Arke? |
A02537 | they are seditious; The resurrection? |
A02537 | 〈 … 〉 wisdome of the heart remedie the craft of the heart? |
A53386 | All this was but duty in him to doe, and can it be lesse then dutie in us? |
A53386 | As for the gaine and advantage I mentiond, can there be any greater gaine than Salvation? |
A53386 | But how may they doe that? |
A53386 | But now how did Luther carry himselfe? |
A53386 | Concerning the Point of Praedestination, how doth the Church of Christ groane under the burden of a number of huge& high- swolne Volumes? |
A53386 | For indeed what a small and slender hedge is it, which now divide ▪ s and part''s us? |
A53386 | For what can be imagined more unequall, than that one man''s crime, or commendation, should be imputed to all? |
A53386 | How much more prudently did that blessed Martyr and most learned Father of his Times, S. Cyprian behave himselfe? |
A53386 | How much truer and more charitable is that opinion of a grave and moderate Divine? |
A53386 | In such a multitude of mysteries, who can chuse but admire that there should not be above one or two Points wherein they did not fully agree? |
A53386 | Let us view a comparison betwixt things humane& divine, although what similitude can there bee''twixt Earth and Heaven? |
A53386 | Likewise also that of the Apostle, what agreement hath the Temple of God with Idols? |
A53386 | Now then how extreme faulty in this kinde Divines of both sides have beene, who is there that see''s not? |
A53386 | Now who is there that doe''s not daily solicite God for the flourishing and peaceable estate of his Church? |
A53386 | Shall they breath out nothing but mildnesse and sweetnesse, and wee nought but rage and fury? |
A53386 | Thus were matters carried amongst thē: and why should not We, putting on bowells of meeknesse, tread the steps of these Worthies? |
A53386 | What are these to Salvation? |
A53386 | What make Schoole- nicities amongst Church- Confessions? |
A53386 | What reward shall bee given or done unto thee, thou false tongue? |
A53386 | Why doe not we in like manner now at last begin to be wise? |
A53386 | Why then such strifes and contentions about words? |
A53386 | was he so farre possest with prejudice and passion, as to disdaine all commerce and societie with our men? |
A45174 | And why is it ranked in the style of Faith, Repentance, Baptisme,& c. whose use and practice must be perpetuall? |
A45174 | As for any command, it is as far to seek, as either of the other: What Scripture can be pretended to carry the least colour of a mandate? |
A45174 | Can it be, that Baptisme should be ever out of date? |
A45174 | Can the Doctrine of the Resurrection from the dead, and of the last Judgment, be ever unseasonable, and super annated? |
A45174 | Can there be any time wherein Faith, and Repentance from dead works, shall not be necessary, both for knowledge and practice? |
A45174 | Dare any Christian presume to say, that the Apostle, the great and wise Master- builder of the Church, mistook the foundation whereon he built? |
A45174 | Faine would I know what they can say to this irrefragable text? |
A45174 | Have we any just ground of reason to forbear, and discontinue the use of it? |
A45174 | Have we any warrant for banishing it out of the Church of God? |
A45174 | Have we lesse need of Grace, or Confirmation then our Forefathers? |
A45174 | How have we been oppressed with the throngs of the multitude, striving for the first admission? |
A45174 | How have we been tired with the importunity of Suitors, impatient of either deniall, or delay? |
A45174 | How is the practice of it cryed down, and hooted at, as meerly superstitious and Antichristian? |
A45174 | Insomuch, as we have been forced to call for the help of Officers to our rescue from that well- meant impetuousnesse? |
A45174 | Is there not as much occasion and need of the use of it, as ever? |
A45174 | Or, are we lesse qualified to performe this gracious act then our Predecessours? |
A45174 | Or, dare any presumptuous soul single this one Article from the rest, as meerly temporary, when all the rest are granted to be of eternall use? |
A45174 | Or, is the power of Gods Ordinance abated, and now languisheth with Age? |
A45174 | Was not the Doctrine and practice of it held so usefull, as that it was singled out for one of the Principles of Christian Religion? |
A45174 | Was there not such a thing, in the Apostolick times, as the Imposition of hands? |
A45174 | Was this only a temporary Institution, soon after to be abrogated? |
A45174 | What a willing forgetfulnesse of it? |
A45174 | What if we can not second our Imposition of hands with sensible wonders as the Apostles did? |
A45174 | What need was there then to trouble the heads, and to clog the Catechisme of Christian novices with a vanishing, and now already- gasping Ceremony? |
A45174 | Where shall we look for the consignation with the crosse in the forehead? |
A45174 | Who can but wonder at this strange partiality? |
A45174 | With what bold and sinfull ignorance do too many of the promiscuous multitude thrust themselves upon Gods table? |
A45174 | Yea rather on the contrary, how odious is the very name of it grown to the ears of those, who professe the strictest godlinesse? |
A45174 | for the box on the ear given to the confirmed, with the rest of the complements of that pretendedly- Sacramentall action? |
A71323 | And we d, and burie, and make Christen- soules? |
A71323 | Both good things ill, and ill things well: all one? |
A71323 | But Arts of Whoring: stories of the stewes, Ye Muses, will ye beare, and may refuse? |
A71323 | But if some Painter in presuming skill, Should paint the stars in center of the earth, Could ye forbeare some smiles, and taunting mirth? |

A02566 | 14. what should the net doe now in the ship? |
A02566 | 37, Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their hearts, and said to Peter, and the rest of the Apostles, Men and brethren what shall we doe? |
A02566 | Against neglect of Diuine Seruice; yet how are they sleighted? |
A02566 | And why doenot we follow Peter in the same steppes wherein Peter followed Christ, and Christ his fore- runner, and his fore- runner the Prophets? |
A02566 | But in the fourth generation, they shall come hither againe; when is that? |
A02566 | Can there be a greater sinne then robbing of God? |
A02566 | Can there be better lawes against wilfull Recusancy, against Symony, against Sacriledge? |
A02566 | Can there bee a better Law made for the restraint of too too common oathes? |
A02566 | Can there possibly be better Lawes, then have in our times beene enacted, against drunkennesse? |
A02566 | Deus, omen,& c. If folly, if villanie bee committed in our Israel, it is not for euery man to be an Officer; Who made thee a Iudge? |
A02566 | For the multitude, where is the man that makes true conscience of any the Lawes of his God? |
A02566 | Honorable& beloued, how should we be humbled vnder the hand of our God, in the sense of our many, great, bold and lawlesse sinnes? |
A02566 | How commonly doe we cry out of those querulous Michaiahs, that are still prophesying euill to vs, and not good? |
A02566 | I dare say, none but heauen could afford better; what a pleasing spectacle was this anguish of their wounded soules? |
A02566 | Indeed, what reason is there to hope or to plead for an immunity; If wee share in the worke, why should wee not take part of the wages? |
A02566 | Is not euery Tauern a stye of such swine? |
A02566 | Is not euery street indented with their shamefull staggerings? |
A02566 | Is not this( besides all the rest) the sinne of the present Romish generation? |
A02566 | Is there not now as much spent in wanton smoake, as our honest forefathers spent in substantiall hospitality? |

A02566 | Lord what is becomne of the successe of thy Gospel? |
A02566 | Lord whither will this presumption grow? |
A02566 | Neither doe they more exceed in number, then magnitude; Can there be a greater sinne then Idolatry? |
A02566 | Nothing? |
A02566 | Now, what need I waste the time in dehorting your Noble and Christian ingenuity from participation of the Epidemicall sinnes of a froward generation? |
A02566 | Oh foolish sinners, shall yee liue here alwayes; care ye not for your soules; is there not an hell that gapes for your stubborne impenitence? |
A02566 | Oh when, when shall our eyes be blessed with so happy a prospect? |
A02566 | Oh, what sweet Musick was this to the Apostles eare? |
A02566 | Salomon was a wise man, and he sayes, Say not thou, what is the cause that the former dayes were better then these? |
A02566 | To beginne with the former; what is a generation? |
A02566 | WHo knowes not that Simon Peter was a Fisher? |
A02566 | What auailes it that children are brought to the birth, if there want a midwifry to deliuer them? |
A02566 | What is an vntoward generation? |
A02566 | What sackcloth, what ashes can be enough for vs? |
A02566 | When the fish was caught, Christ sayes, Draw vp againe, what should the net doe now in the Sea? |
A02566 | Who hath beleeued our report, or to whom is the arm ● of the Lord reuealed? |
A02566 | Who should tell the times of their sinnes, if wee be silent? |
A02566 | Would we then thoroughly quit our selues of our froward generation? |
A02566 | Would you thinke that Saint Luke hath giuen mee the diuision of this, whether Text, or, sermon of Saint Peter? |
A02566 | against the lawlesse wandring of lazie vagabonds; yet, how full are our streets, how empty our Correction- houses? |
A02566 | and if euery man violate all the lawes of God, what do all put together? |
A02566 | are your liues filthy? |
A02566 | how are they eluded by fraudulent euasions? |
A02566 | how doth bribery& corruption smother these offences, as if the sinnes of men serued onely to enrich couetous Officers? |
A02566 | no man will so much as say with the Iewes, What haue I done, or with Saint Peters auditors, what shall I doe? |
A02566 | not a soule caught? |
A02566 | to speake a word in season; what should I presume to put into your hands, these apples of gold, with pictures of siluer? |
A02566 | to what vse is the water deriued from the cesterne, into the pipes, if the cocke be not turned? |
A02566 | what is an vntoward generation? |
A02566 | where, or when are they executed? |
A02566 | who vrges, who payes that iust mulct? |
A02566 | why doe you slander the time? |
A02547 | & where had our deliuerance bin without him? |
A02547 | Alas it is euen too little for God; what doe wee thinke of taking an Inmate into this cottage? |
A02547 | And first, why should it not be our perpetuall glorie and reioicing, that we were her subiects? |
A02547 | And if the Peace- maker both doth blesse and is blessed; how should we blesse him, and blesse God for him, and hold our selues blessed in him? |
A02547 | And( as the Oath of the Roman souldiours ranne) how deare and precious should the life of our Caesar bee to vs, aboue al earthly things? |
A02547 | Are they persecuted? |
A02547 | Are they resisted? |
A02547 | Are they stung to death? |
A02547 | But how? |
A02547 | But what shall bee the iudgement? |
A02547 | But where had beene our peace, or this freedome of the Gospell, without our Deliuerance? |
A02547 | Did they want a guide? |
A02547 | Did they want a shelter? |
A02547 | Did they want bread? |
A02547 | Did they want meate to their bread? |
A02547 | Did they want way? |
A02547 | Doe they want a law? |
A02547 | Doe they want aduise? |
A02547 | Doe they want drinke to both? |
A02547 | Doe they want habitations? |
A02547 | Doe they want suites of apparell? |
A02547 | Durst we so boldly sinne God in the face, if wee feared him? |
A02547 | Durst wee be Christians at Church, Mammonists at home, if we feared him? |
A02547 | Durst wee mocke God with a formall flourish of that, which our heart tels vs wee are not, if wee feared him? |
A02547 | For what is iustice, but a freedome from sinne? |
A02547 | Hath hee not so ingaged himselfe in this holie quarrell, that the world confesses Rome had neuer such an Aduersarie? |
A02547 | How freely and loud should the Gospell of God ring euery where in the eares of the generations yet vnborne? |
A02547 | How memorable a patterne of mercie should this Hand be to all posterities? |
A02547 | How safely should our children play,& wee feast in our streets? |
A02547 | How sure should we be, long and long to enioy so gracious, and deare a Soueraine, so comfortable a peace, so happy a gouernment? |
A02547 | How would he still feede vs with the finest of the wheate? |
A02547 | How would he that( as this day) when we feared a tempest, gaue vs an happie calme, preuent a tempest in our calme when wee feare not? |
A02547 | If we see not the worth of our King, how shall we be thankefull to God that gaue him? |
A02547 | If wee fear''d the Lord, durst we dally with his name, durst wee teare it in pieces? |
A02547 | May wee not well say of the heart, as Lot of Zoar, Is it not a little one? |
A02547 | Neuer had England more learned Bishops, and Doctors; which of them euer returned from his Maiesties discourse without admiration? |
A02547 | Our snow lyes here melted, where are those flouds of bloud that you threatned? |
A02547 | Shall their feare keepe them from once mentioning the dreadfull name of God, and shall not our feare keepe vs from abusing it? |
A02547 | That all the crownes and kingdomes in this world should not indure him to change any iot of his profession? |
A02547 | The wages of sinne is death; And what death? |
A02547 | To what purpose shal ye feast one another in your houses, if you shall feast the fiends of hell with your wilfull sinnes? |
A02547 | To what purpose shall we kindle Bonfiérs in our streets, if wee kindle the flames of Gods displeasure against vs by our sinnes? |
A02547 | To whom? |
A02547 | What King christned hath written so learned volumes? |
A02547 | What Nation vnder heauen yeeldes so many learned Diuines? |
A02547 | What a brewing of death was tun''d vp in those vessels? |
A02547 | What a world of Sulphur had hee prouided against that day? |
A02547 | What famous Trophees of victory would hee erect ouer all Antichristianisme amongst vs? |
A02547 | What portion haue we in Dauid? |
A02547 | What shall we make of this? |
A02547 | What should I runne my selfe out of breath, in this endlesse course of examples? |
A02547 | What should I say more? |
A02547 | What should I speake of the wonders of Egypt? |
A02547 | What should weapons doe in the hands of disloyaltie? |
A02547 | What strength can these Masculine dispositions of the soule yeild vs, if with the Israelites brood they bee smoothered in the birth? |
A02547 | What times euer yeelded so many preaching Bishops? |
A02547 | When was this Citie( the Citie of our ioy) euer so happy this way, as in these late successions? |
A02547 | With what zeale did his Maiestie fly vpon the blasphemous nouelties of Vorstius? |
A02547 | Yet who will not grant his Mercy to bee eminent amongst his vertues, when Parsons himselfe yeelds it? |
A02551 | 7. if to the opposites of Godlines, here is a Law fighting; fighting? |
A02551 | Alas, what is this? |
A02551 | And as great in respect of our enemies, so no lesse great in respect of our selues, Great, and beneficiall: What wonders are done by Godlinesse? |
A02551 | And now what can the flesh doe, without the World, without the Deuill? |
A02551 | Are there any of vs wearie of carrying our old Adam about vs? |
A02551 | Are ye godly, which haue no inward awe of that God whom yee pretend to serue? |
A02551 | As all sinne is originally from the Diuell, so especially Hypocrisie; hee is the father of Lyes, and what is Hypocrisie but a reall Lye? |
A02551 | Briefly( for I could dwell here alwayes) it is godlinesse that only can giue vs, the beatificall sight of God; the sight? |
A02551 | But for vs; Tell me, yee that heare me this day; Are ye Christians in earnest, or are yee not? |
A02551 | But to rise higher then a change; Is it not an act of omnipotencie to create? |
A02551 | But what of all this now, the power of Godlinesse is denyed by wicked men; How then? |
A02551 | Doe ye not remember that Absalom would goe to pay his vow in Hebron? |
A02551 | Doe ye see an illuminate Elder of the Anabaptists rapt in diuine extasies? |
A02551 | Doe ye see the penances of the three super- mortified Orders of the Mahumetan Saints? |
A02551 | Doe yee see a stigmaticall Fryer lashing himselfe to blood, wallowing in the snow naked, returning the lice into his bosome? |
A02551 | Doe yee see an Ananias and Saphira making God their heyre of their halfe- shared Patrimony? |
A02551 | Doe you see a griping Vsurer build Schooles and Hospitals with ten in the hundred? |
A02551 | Faith and Praier are no small peeces of Godlines, and what is it that God can doe, which Praier and Faith can not doe? |
A02551 | How is this done by Creation, and how is he created? |
A02551 | How shall this be? |
A02551 | In the former, what power hath Godlinesse if it haue not made vs good? |
A02551 | Is it not a great wonder to make a Foole wise, to make the blind see? |
A02551 | Is it not a wonder to cast out Deuils? |
A02551 | Is it not a wonder to raise the dead? |
A02551 | Is it not an act of omnipotence to change nature? |
A02551 | It yee be not, what doe yee here? |
A02551 | Neither is this consideration more fit to bee a whetstone to our zeale, then a touch stone to our condition; Godlinesse? |
A02551 | No gouernment of your Passions, no Conscience of your Actions, no care of your Liues? |
A02551 | Now, when I say the man is strong, is it any derogation to say his arme is strong? |
A02551 | Oh the deplorable condition of those damned soules that haue sleighted the power of Godlinesse? |
A02551 | Resist? |
A02551 | Surely so; for hee heares him; Tush, heares him, what''s that? |
A02551 | To repent of euill, To abstaine from euill; would yee escape the wrath of God, the fire of hell? |
A02551 | What but that same, Dextra excelsi, wherby hee workes mightily vpon the soule? |
A02551 | What is an Hypocrite but a Player, the Zani of Religion? |
A02551 | What power then is this of Godlines? |
A02551 | What shall we say to those gallants that hate to haue so much as a forme of Godlinesse? |
A02551 | What should I weary you with instances? |
A02551 | What speake I of power? |
A02551 | What talke ye of a Sermon? |
A02551 | Will yee see some instances of the further acts of Godlinesse? |
A02551 | Would any of vs that are thus borne naturals( to God) bee wise to saluation? |
A02551 | a Play if you will; what speake you of weeping for sinns? |
A02551 | a grieuous burthen I confesse,& that which is able to weigh vs downe to Hell; doe wee groane vnder the load, and long to be eased? |
A02551 | eiected our hellish corruptions, changed our wicked natures, new created our hearts? |
A02551 | hath it raysed vs, vp from the graue of our sinnes? |
A02551 | talke of drinking healths, singing of rounds, courting of Dames, reuels, matches, games, any thing saue goodnesse; what should we say of these men? |
A02551 | what can it doe? |
A02551 | what doth it? |
A02551 | what is their case? |
A02551 | what teares can bee enough to bewayle their euerlasting burnings? |
A02551 | where is the power? |
A02551 | wherein differ they from their neighbours vnlesse it be perhaps in better fare? |
A02551 | with what horror shall ye feele the gnawing of your guilty consciences, and heare that hellish shrieking, and weeping, and wailing, and gnashing? |
A02585 | A charge, to whom? |
A02585 | And not to cast backe our eyes, Doe yee not see it thus in our times? |
A02585 | And whence is all this? |
A02585 | Are they Christians, or Antickes in some Carnevale, or childrens puppets that are thus dressed? |
A02585 | Can he giue a man to liue more merrily, to feed more heartily, to sleep more quietly? |
A02585 | Can he make a man honest? |
A02585 | Can hee buy off the gout, cares, death, much lesse the paines of another world? |
A02585 | Charge the Rich; Who are they? |
A02585 | Charge then, but whom? |
A02585 | Confidence in God; Beneficence to men: And euery one of these is backed with a reason to inforce it: Why should they not be hy- minded? |
A02585 | Did these men euer heare that the Blessing of God maketh rich? |
A02585 | For all these you haue reason to aske, Quid retribuam with Dauid; What shall I render to the Lord for all his benefits? |
A02585 | For, what safety, what vnspeakable comfort is there in Trusting to God? |
A02585 | Glasses are pleasing vessels, yet because of their brittlenesse, who esteemes them precious? |
A02585 | He is a liuing God, and a liberall God: Why should they extend their beneficence to men? |
A02585 | Hy- mindednesse,& Trust in wealth: What are the duties they must labour vnto? |
A02585 | If a man be but worth a foot- cloth, how big hee lookes on the inferior passengers? |
A02585 | If yee looke about you; What is it that hee hath not giuen vs? |
A02585 | In the Lord put I my trust, how say yee then to my soule, flee hence as a bird to the hills? |
A02585 | Is this( thinks he) the flesh and blood, is this the hayre, is this the shape of a woman? |
A02585 | O God, what a world of vanity hast thou reserv''d vs to? |
A02585 | Of what? |
A02585 | That the crowne of the wise is their wealth? |
A02585 | That the wings of riches carry them vp to heauen? |
A02585 | The Lord is my trust, whom then can I feare? |
A02585 | The bush that hangs out, showes what we may looke for within; Whither doth the conceit of a litle inheritance transport the Gallants of our time? |
A02585 | Their wealth is but in this world; Why should they not trust in Riches? |
A02585 | To the rich: Of what? |
A02585 | To whom? |
A02585 | What are great men but like hailstones, that leape vp on the Tiles,& straight fall downe againe,& lye still,& melt away? |
A02585 | What do I instance? |
A02585 | What meane wee( my beloued) to spend our liues and hearts vpon these perishing treasures? |
A02585 | What mines, what Princes can raise you vp to wealth, against him, without him? |
A02585 | Whither can yee turne your eyes to looke beside the bounty of God? |
A02585 | Why should they trust in God? |
A02585 | Will yee haue the reason why we preach our selues hoarse and dead, and preuaile not? |
A02585 | and there, but to be heard, and seene? |
A02585 | can he make him wise? |
A02585 | can hee make him healthfull? |
A02585 | nay, doth he not bring all these? |
A02585 | or hath nature repented of her worke since my daies, and begun a new frame? |
A02585 | what they must auoide, what they must indeuour: What must they auoide? |
A02585 | who can dote vpon it? |
A02585 | who would trust it? |
A02585 | will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousand riuers of oyle? |
A02565 | 20. or Musicke in a day of Mourning, Howling and Lamentation is fitter for this occasion? |
A02565 | All this hath God done for his Vinyard, what could haue beene done more? |
A02565 | And of all fruits, what is comparable to that of the Vine? |
A02565 | Are these the fruites of his choyce, his Fencing, his Reforming, his Planting, his watch Towre, his Winepresse? |
A02565 | Are we lesse deep in the sins of Israel, then in Israels blessings? |
A02565 | But to what purpose is the fruitfulnesse, fencing, stoning, if the ground yeeld a plentifull Crop of Bryers, Thistles, Weedes? |
A02565 | Can we, dare we impute ill husbandry to the God of Heauen? |
A02565 | God cheared with Wine? |
A02565 | Hath God a Vineyard, and shall he not tend it? |
A02565 | How did that noysome pestilence vanish suddenly away, as that which could not stand before our powerfull humiliations? |
A02565 | How easie is it for a man to loose himselfe in the sinnes of the time? |
A02565 | How hath the vigilant eye of his prouidence out of his doore of Heauen watcht ouer this Iland for good? |
A02565 | How is this? |
A02565 | How with Christ? |
A02565 | I fast twise a weeke, saith the Pharisee, and wee Christians, when? |
A02565 | In fasting often, saith St. Paul; what, and wee neuer? |
A02565 | It is God that iustifies? |
A02565 | Lastly, how infinitely hath his louing care laboured to bring vs to good? |
A02565 | Lay now all these together, And what could haue beene done more for our Vineyard, O God, that thou hast not done? |
A02565 | Of these hee sayes, What could haue beene done more that I haue not done? |
A02565 | One of the sinnes of our Sodom is fulnesse of bread: What is the remedy? |
A02565 | Shall hee not mightily protect it? |
A02565 | Should I leaue my Wine which cheareth God and man? |
A02565 | Sin hath a body, as well as the man hath,( who shall deliuer mee from this body of death? |
A02565 | Sin is impudent; but let me challenge the impudent forehead of sinne it selfe; Are they not sowre and wilde Grapes that we haue yeelded? |
A02565 | Sonne of man what shall be done to the Vine of all trees? |
A02565 | The armes and legges take the same lot with the head; Euery beleeuer is a limme of that body; how can he therefore, but dye with him, and in him? |
A02565 | The superstitious man is professedly mortifyde; The answer of that Hermite in the storie is famous, why dost thou destroy thy body? |
A02565 | VVhat quarrels for measure; and forme? |
A02565 | Vaine hypocrites, they must know that euery Christian is a crucified man: How are they dead to their sinnes, that walke in their sins? |
A02565 | What a mockery is this? |
A02565 | What are we, O God, what are we, that thou shouldst bee thus rich in thy mercies to vs, whiles thou art so seuere in thy iudgements vnto them? |
A02565 | What bouzing, and quaffing, and whiffing, and healthing is there on euery bench; and what reeling and staggering in our streets? |
A02565 | What could be more; the sins are aggrauated by those fauours; what worse then wilde Grapes and disappointment? |
A02565 | What could haue beene done more? |
A02565 | What could haue heene done more to my Vineyard that I haue not done in it? |
A02565 | What drinking by the Yard, the Die, the Dozen? |
A02565 | What sweet opportunities, and incouragements hath hee giuen vs of a fruitfull obedience? |
A02565 | What then are these wilde, or as Pagnine renders it vuae putidae, rotten Grapes? |
A02565 | What then is it, O Lord, what is it that thou hast done, then which more could not bee done for thy Vineyard? |
A02565 | Who derides not the solecisme of that Actor, which exprest himselfe fully dead by saying so? |
A02565 | Who doth not smile to heare of a dead man that walkes? |
A02565 | Who shall condemne? |
A02565 | With what competencie of maintenance hath he heartned all learned Professions? |
A02565 | With what pregnant spirits hath hee furnisht our Academies? |
A02565 | With what rare gifts hath hee graced our Teachers? |
A02565 | but, among all deaths, in crucifying? |
A02565 | eyes full of lust, itching eares, scurrilous tongues, bloody hands, hearts full of wickednesse, and yet dead? |
A02565 | how are their sinnes dead in them, in whom they stir, raigne, flourish? |
A02565 | nay( as he rightly) Polyolbion; richly blessed; O God, what, where is the Nation, that can emulate vs in these fauours? |
A02565 | what a distention of the body,( whose weight is racke enough to it selfe?) |
A02565 | what a torture must there needs be in this act of violence? |
A02565 | what nayling of hands and feet? |
A02565 | what strayning of the ioynts? |
A02565 | where shall we seeke for a crucified man? |
A02565 | who would not freeze vpon an hardle, that hee might not fry in hell? |
A02565 | who would not hold his eies open, to auoid an eternall vnrest and torment? |
A02565 | who would not scrub his skin, to ease his conscience? |
A45148 | Ah Lord, What strugling have I with my weak fears? |
A45148 | Alas, my Lord God, how small matters trouble me? |
A45148 | And as for my outward spirituall enemies; how can there be a victory without war; and how can I hope for a crown without victory? |
A45148 | Can ye hope to finde rest in any of these sublunary contentments, Alas? |
A45148 | How can I be discouraged with unlikelihoods, when I see thee work by contraries? |
A45148 | How can ye choose O ye Saints but love the Lord? |
A45148 | How comfortable a style is that, O God, which thine Apostle gives to thine Heaven, whiles he cals it the inheritance of the Saints in light? |
A45148 | How confidently did I relie upon the promised favour of some great friends, which now leave me in the suds, as the scom of( a mis- called) fortune? |
A45148 | How did we lately feed our selves with the hope of a firme and during peace, which now shuts up in too much bloud? |
A45148 | How happy, O Lord, is the man that hath thee for his God? |
A45148 | How many good purposes, O my God, have I taken up,& let fall to the ground again without effect? |
A45148 | How shall I be able to indure pain? |
A45148 | How shall I pass through the horrid gates of death? |
A45148 | If gifts can attract love; O my God, Who can have any interest in my heart but thy blessed self, that hast been so infinitely munificent to my soul? |
A45148 | In how slippery places, O Lord, do our feet stand? |
A45148 | In the mean time what shall I say to our wretched unthankfulnes; and impious negligence? |
A45148 | In what pangs couldst thou be, O Asaph, that so woful a word should fall from thee, Hath God forgotten to be gracious? |
A45148 | Indeed, Lord, as thou saist, the night commeth when no man can work; What can we do, when the light is shut in, but shut our eyes, and sleep? |
A45148 | Let me not know what they say, or think of me, and what am I the better or worse for them? |
A45148 | Lord God, What a world of treasure hast thou hid in the bowels of the earth, which no eye of man ever did, or shall, or can see? |
A45148 | Lord God, if thou take off thy hand from me, what wickedness shall escape me? |
A45148 | Lord God, whither need I go to seek thee? |
A45148 | My condition is no other then theirs; I wander here in a strange country; What wonder is it, if I meet with forrainers fare, hard usage, and neglect? |
A45148 | O God, how troublesome and painful do I find this Sun of thine, whose scorching beams beat upon my head? |
A45148 | O Lord God, under how opposite aspects do I stand ▪ from the world? |
A45148 | O Lord God; how subject is this wretched heart of mine to repining, and discontentment? |
A45148 | O blessed God, what variety of gifts hast thou scattered amongst the sons of men? |
A45148 | O blessed Saviour, What strange variety of conceits do I finde concerning thy thousand years raign? |
A45148 | Oh Lord God; how ambitious, how covetous of knowledg is this soul of mine? |
A45148 | Oh my God, Where is my faith that I am thus surprized? |
A45148 | Oh my God, why do not I suspect my self? |
A45148 | Oh what a praise is this of thy mercy and long suffering? |
A45148 | Speak Lord, for thy servant heareth: What is it which thou wouldst have me do that I may finde rest to my soul? |
A45148 | V. Ah my Lord God, what heats and colds do I feel in my soul? |
A45148 | What a madness then were it in me to come disguised into thy presence ▪& to seek to hide my counsels from thine al- seeing eyes? |
A45148 | What a shame to our dull neglect and graceless ingratitude? |
A45148 | What goodly plants hast thou brought forth of the earth, in wilde, unknown regions, which no man ever beheld? |
A45148 | What great wits hast thou shut up in a willing obscurity, which the world never takes notice of? |
A45148 | What have ye, what are ye, what can ye be, but from his meer bounty? |
A45148 | What hold have I of my self more then these other miserable examples of humane frailtie? |
A45148 | What judgment more heavy then that of the sword? |
A45148 | What outward blessing can be sweeter then civill peace? |
A45148 | What riddles are in that prophesie; which no humane tongue can aread? |
A45148 | What shall I do Lord? |
A45148 | What shall I do when I am old? |
A45148 | What would it avail me, O Lord, to mock the eyes of all the world with asemblance of holiness, whilst thou shouldst see me false and filthy? |
A45148 | When our senses are tyed up, and our limbs laid to rest, what can we do, but yeeld our selves to a necessary repose? |
A45148 | Where art thou, O my God? |
A45148 | Whether, Lord, is it my wretchednesse to suffer my self to be rob''d of thee, for the time, by temptation? |
A45148 | Whither now, O whither do ye rove O my thoughts? |
A45148 | Why are not my affections homeward? |
A45148 | Why do I clog my self in my way with the base and heavy lumber of the world? |
A45148 | Why do I intermeddle with the affaires of a nation that is not mine? |
A45148 | Why do I not long to see and enjoy my fathers house? |
A45148 | Yet, when did I bless thee for any of them? |
A45148 | and shall therein alone bestow a blessed eternity? |
A45148 | but that I have any helps of my wel- beeing here; or hopes and means of my being glorious hereafter, how far is it beyond the reach of my soul? |
A45148 | how can they yeeld any stay to you, that have no settlement in themselves? |
A45148 | how do I anticipate my evils by distrust? |
A45148 | how teeming hath this barren womb of my heart been of false conceptions? |
A45148 | how variously am I construed by men? |
A45148 | whither hast thou withdrawn thy self? |
A02563 | 7. ad finem iustus igitur aduocatus noster,& c. Ergo fratres, omnes de plenitudine eius accepimus, de pl ● nitudine miserecordiae,& c. Quid? |
A02563 | And how doth this become ours? |
A02563 | And how late was this? |
A02563 | And i ● thou, Lord, shouldst marke iniquities ▪ O Lord, who shall stand? |
A02563 | And if hee must pray that hee may doe it; how much more must he practice it, when he can doe it? |
A02563 | And if our Parents do not, who else among the dead know what wee doe, or what wee suffer? |
A02563 | And what if a mouse, or other vermin, should eat the Host( it is a case put by themselues) who then sacrificeth? |
A02563 | And when the score is strucke off, what remaynes to pay? |
A02563 | Because now yee are iust; and whence are yee iust? |
A02563 | But Binius wrangleth here; Can we blame him when the free- hold of their Great Mistresse is so neerely touched? |
A02563 | But did hee say, No sinne shall bee remitted, but what yee remit? |
A02563 | But will not this seeme to sauour of too much indifferencie? |
A02563 | But, good Lord, how apt men are to raise or beleeue lies for their owne aduantages? |
A02563 | But, what need allegations to proue a yeelded truth? |
A02563 | But, what striue wee in this? |
A02563 | Can there be a back- reckoning for that which shal not be remembred? |
A02563 | Doe we not offer euerie day? |
A02563 | Doth hee thanke that seruant because hee did the things that were commanded him? |
A02563 | For what can breake that peace but our sinnes? |
A02563 | Freely, ● y his Grace: What Grace? |
A02563 | HOw absurd therefore is it in reason, when the King of heauen cals vs to him, to run with our petitions to the Guard or Pages of the Court? |
A02563 | How can this plea stand with his owne confessed subscription? |
A02563 | How doe they multiply in their passage, and either grow, or dye vpon hazards? |
A02563 | How doe wee see the reports varie, of those things, which our eyes haue seene done? |
A02563 | How ill would this doctrine or practice now bee endured? |
A02563 | I haue done away thy Transgressions as a Cloud: What sinnes can bee lesse then transgressions? |
A02563 | In Christ is the Sacrifice once offered able to giue saluation; What doe we therefore? |
A02563 | Inherent in vs, and working by vs? |
A02563 | Is it really propitiatorie? |
A02563 | It is no short Cloake, that it should not couer twaine; Thy righteousnesse is a righteousnesse for euer; and what is longer then eternitie? |
A02563 | Loe, can the Letter bee read that is blotted out? |
A02563 | Loe, he cleanseth vs from the guilt, and forgiues the punishment: What are our sinnes but debts? |
A02563 | Not by your owne Merits, but by his Grace; Whence are yee iust? |
A02563 | Nothing can formally make vs iust but that which is perfect in it selfe; How should it giue what it hath not? |

A02563 | Quid prodest fons signatus? |
A02563 | Reioyce in the Lord; Why? |
A02563 | That commonly men may be saued without them? |
A02563 | The former Iob saw from his dung- hill; How should a man bee iustified before God? |
A02563 | The masters of the Pythonisse are angrie part with a gainefull( though euill) guest: Am I become your enemie because I tolde you the truth? |
A02563 | Wash me, and I shall be whiter then snow: Who can tell where the spot was, when the skin is rinced? |
A02563 | What can be more plaine? |
A02563 | What can bee more cleerely dispersed then a Cloud? |
A02563 | What can bee more direct, then that of holy Athanasius? |
A02563 | What foundation of truth can be layd vpon the breath of man? |
A02563 | What is our remission, but a striking off that score? |
A02563 | What is the infliction of punishment, but an exaction of payment? |
A02563 | Who can but feare that the Cardinall shifts this euidence against his owne heart? |
A02563 | Who shall lay any thing to the ● harge of Gods Elect? |

A02588 | Return, return, ô Shulamite: returne, return, that I may behold thee: what shall you see in the Shulamite, but as the company of an army? |
A02588 | The flatterer prayseth his friend with a loude voyce, rising early in the morning; but with what success? |
A02588 | The wicked man may be rich: but how? |
A02588 | Then thought I vvith my selfe, Shall I lie still contented with this want? |
A02588 | To him alone is it not saide, Goe eat thy bread with ioy, and drinke thy wine with a cheerefull heart? |
A02588 | To others; Anger is cruell, and wrath is raging: but who can stand before enuie? |

A02586 | O God, what were the world without it, but a vast, and sullen dungeon of confusion, and horrour; and, with it, what a Theater of beauty and wonders? |
A02586 | Or is there lesse cause of our reverence of those divine Oracles, than theirs? |
A02586 | Paines of body, frownes of the great, restraint of liberty, losse of goods, who is it that feares not? |

A02538 | Is God wise enough to guide the heauens& to produce all creatures in their kindes: and seasons and shall he not bee able to order thee alon? |
A02538 | Lastly shall I account that good which is incident to the worst? |

A45320 | And how have you suted your respects to the better times? |
A45320 | And it is not profanenesse to thinke so slovenly as you doe of God and his Service, Atheisme; to professe so much, and practise nothing at all? |
A45320 | And know you what iniquity some of your holy Sisters might have committed yesternight? |
A45320 | And must all these fall within the verge of your excommunication? |
A45320 | And why doe such Batts and Owles as you screech about our Churches? |
A45320 | And why him, I pray you? |
A45320 | And why may there not be some few pearles in that dung- hill, the masse- booke? |
A45320 | And you Sir, who hath made all this dinne, how should a man finde your out, either to convert you, or to be converted by you? |
A45320 | Aske you how you know this, you reply, the thoughts and intentions of the men are not upright, and is not this without tryall to judge the minde? |
A45320 | But how shall this humor of yours suit with the unity of a Church? |
A45320 | But if every knowne sin be every mans, where is Christs burthen? |
A45320 | But if your selves onely, what need have you of Judges? |
A45320 | But let no man blame you before they try you: do you deale so with others? |
A45320 | But what answer you to the question, if they have not received Baptisme? |
A45320 | But what reformation do you conceive? |
A45320 | But who should finde it so? |
A45320 | Do you thus tempt the patience of the Prince and people? |
A45320 | Doe not you too much rejoyce over the( perhaps deserved) afflictions of others: If Judgement begin at the house of God, what doe you expect? |
A45320 | Doe you thinke we may not use what is in the Masse booke consonant to Scripture, and purest antiquity? |
A45320 | Have they resigned that power which God, his Majesty, and their ancient privileges have indued them with, into your hands? |
A45320 | Have you yet proved these things to be Popish? |
A45320 | Heare you of preparation for Warre? |
A45320 | How doe you( which is yours quarto modo) preach and practise contradictions? |
A45320 | How may this incourage the Romanists, when by our pretended selves, not onely our best champions, but our very Church is made theirs? |
A45320 | How shall we argue against them without bespattering our owne faces in time to come? |
A45320 | I will therefore assigne you a third, that comes more home to the point, To your Tents O Israel, what Inheritance have we in the Sonne of Iesse? |
A45320 | Is it not the Dial ● ct of rebellion? |
A45320 | Is it nothing for you to object Paganisme to them at every word? |
A45320 | Is this your modell, your patterne of reformation? |
A45320 | It is granted: but are you not like the doore that turneth all day upon the hinges, and never changeth its place? |
A45320 | May we expect, dum viatores sumus, your contemplative perfection, or that the wheate shall be here without the chaffe? |
A45320 | Nay how blame you a whole Church and nation? |
A45320 | Now when you have drained us of all discipline and unity, how proceed you against the fomentation of envy, and faction in the state? |
A45320 | Now, this cleer deniall of a Church, how agreeth it with your advise of reformation? |
A45320 | Of the a ornation of a Chappell? |
A45320 | Or are they not Christians? |
A45320 | Quo Donate ruis? |
A45320 | Sufficiently discovered? |
A45320 | Suppose now it were so, is not your curse, who discovereth your mothers nakednesse, double to his, who did not cover his fathers? |
A45320 | Tel me, I pray you, whether should the Judges, or your selves determine the integrity of the Law? |
A45320 | They have so, and so might they ever performe; but can not one Devill be cast out, unlesse seaven enter? |
A45320 | This you say is not of divine, therefore it must be of diabolicall institution, can you giue a reason of this consequence? |
A45320 | To call them profane, ignorant, unbaptized, unchristian persons? |
A45320 | What a cursed Shimei is this to lay this heaviest imputation upon the most glorious Church in the world? |
A45320 | What a wild consequence is this? |
A45320 | What difference put you betwixt the head and the branch? |
A45320 | When will you agree among your selves? |

A02567 | ? |
A02567 | Alas beloued, and will we not yet let the sonne of God be at rest? |
A02567 | Alas, how haue we gathered rust with our long peace? |
A02567 | Alas, they doe flie it: that which should be their punishment, they make their contentment, how are they worthy of pitty? |
A02567 | Alas, who could? |
A02567 | And now when he saw al these prophesies were fulfilled, knowing that one remained, he said, I thirst, Domine, quid sitis? |
A02567 | And what shall his Disciples doe? |
A02567 | And yet, what can the Angels helpe, where God will smite? |
A02567 | And, what lesse courage was there, in our memorable and glorious forefathers of the last of this age? |
A02567 | Behold then, yee despisers,& wonder, and vanish away: whome haue all the Prophets fore- told? |
A02567 | Blasphemy, worthy the tearing of garments: how is it finished by Christ, if men must supply? |
A02567 | But here, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken mee? |
A02567 | But thou Lorde, how long? |
A02567 | But what goe I so farre? |
A02567 | But what man? |
A02567 | Can we yet say any more? |
A02567 | Christ is the end of the Law: what law? |
A02567 | Darest thou not trust thy Redeemer? |
A02567 | Euen the greatest torments are easie, when they haue answerable comforts: but a wounded and comfortlesse spirit, who can beare? |
A02567 | For Absurdity, how grosse and monstrous are these Positions? |
A02567 | Goe thy wayes forth my soule, go forth, what fearest thou? |
A02567 | Hast thou relieued them, and doest thou forsake me? |
A02567 | He must bee apprehended: it was fore- prophesied; The Annointed of the Lord was taken in their nets, sayeth Ieremie: but how? |
A02567 | Hee giues his life, but for whome? |
A02567 | Hee hath his aunswere; yee men of Israel, why stand you gazing and gaping for another Messias? |
A02567 | How art thou a perfect Sauiour, if our Brethren also must be our redeemers? |
A02567 | How cut off? |
A02567 | How easie a breath disperst his enemies? |
A02567 | How safely doth our soule passe through the gates of death, without any impeachment, while it is in the hands of the Almighty? |
A02567 | I call you not to a weake& idle pitty of our glorious Sauiour: to what purpose? |
A02567 | If there bee any Iew amongst you, that like one of Iohns vnseasonable Disciples, shall aske, Art thou hee, or shall wee looke for another? |
A02567 | If thine heart can say thus, thou shalt not need to intreat with old Hilarion, Egredere mea anima, egredere, quid times? |
A02567 | If thou hadst no soule, if a mortall one, if thine owne, if neuer to bee required; how couldest thou liue but sensually? |
A02567 | If thy soule had been in his soules stead, what had become of it? |
A02567 | In short, hee shall bee led to death: it is the prophesie, the Messias shall be slaine, saith Daniel: what death? |
A02567 | Is Christ diuided? |
A02567 | Is it not now finished? |
A02567 | Is this the entertainment that so gracious a Sauiour hath deserued of vs by dying? |
A02567 | Is this the recompence of that infinite loue of his, that thou shouldest thus cruelly vexe and wound him with thy sinnes? |
A02567 | Is thy heart wounded with thy sin? |
A02567 | Legions of Angels? |
A02567 | Lift vp, whither? |
A02567 | Looke vp O all ye beholders, looke vpon this pretious body, and see what part ye can find free? |
A02567 | Nay, shall ● e sweat and bleed for vs, and shall not we weepe for our selues? |
A02567 | Not a bone of him shall be broken: what hinders it? |
A02567 | Not of Reason, how should one meere man pay for another, dispense with another, to another, by another? |
A02567 | Not onely brought me to this shame, smitten me, vnregarded me; but, as it were, forgotten, yea, forsaken me? |
A02567 | O Death where is thy sting? |
A02567 | O Graue where is thy victory? |
A02567 | O all yee that passe by the way, behold and see, if there bee any sorrow like to my sorrow: Alas, Lord, what can we see of thy sorrows? |
A02567 | Oh blessed Sauiour, was euery drop of thy bloud enough to redeeme a world, and doe we yet need the helpe of men? |
A02567 | Oh deare Christians, how should these earthen and rocky hearts of ours shake, and rend in peeces at this Meditation? |
A02567 | Oh how grieuous, how deadly are our sinnes, that cost the sonne of God( besides blood) so much torment? |
A02567 | Oh wilfull men; whither do they runne? |
A02567 | Oh ye blessed Saints, how would you abhorre this sacrilegious glory? |
A02567 | Oh, beloued, is it not enough that he died once for vs? |
A02567 | Our Sauiour is the Physitian? |
A02567 | Paul chides this loue: what doe you weeping and breaking my heart? |
A02567 | Prayse the Lord, O my soule; and, What shall I render to the Lord for all his benefites? |
A02567 | See the Apostles gradation? |
A02567 | Shall he thus lamentably shrieke out, vnder his Fathers wrath, and shall not wee tremble? |
A02567 | Shall the heauens and earth suffer with him, and we suffer nothing? |
A02567 | Still Altars? |
A02567 | Still Priestes? |
A02567 | Still the further wee looke, the more wonder: euery thing addes to this ignominie of suffering,& triumph of ouercomming: where was it? |
A02567 | The whole need not the Physitian, but the sicke: wherein? |
A02567 | Thinke now seriously of this point; Gods Angell is abroade, and strikes on all sides? |
A02567 | Though thou shouldest euery day die a death for him, thou couldest neuer requite his one death, and doest thou sticke at one? |
A02567 | VVere those paines so light, that wee should euery day redouble them? |
A02567 | VVhat a word was here, to come from the mouth of the Sonne of GOD? |
A02567 | VVhat an Army were here? |
A02567 | VVhen our soule is once giuen vpp, what euill shall reach vnto heauen; and wrestle with the Almighty? |
A02567 | VVhy do we liue, as those that tooke no keepe of so glorious a guest? |
A02567 | Was his heart free? |
A02567 | What a spirit was here? |
A02567 | What end? |
A02567 | What fearest thou? |
A02567 | What is finished? |
A02567 | What is this to thee? |
A02567 | What shall I say of these men? |
A02567 | What shall be done to him? |
A02567 | What should God doe with an vncleane, drunken, prophane, proud, couetous soule? |
A02567 | What should we doe but striue& suffer, as our Generall hath done; that we may raigne as he doth, and once triumph in our Consummatum est? |
A02567 | What sodaine familiarity is this? |
A02567 | What suffered hee? |
A02567 | What therefore is finished? |
A02567 | What wonder is it, that wee haue so much plague, while wee haue so much sinne? |
A02567 | What, euen me, my Father? |
A02567 | Whatsoeuer God is, what art thou? |
A02567 | When? |
A02567 | Where abouts? |
A02567 | Which of his senses now was not a window to let in sorrow? |
A02567 | Which was hee? |
A02567 | Whither dost thou reserue thy selfe, thou weake and timorous Creature? |
A02567 | Whither gaue hee it vp? |
A02567 | Who is the King of glory? |
A02567 | Who knowes not, that man had made himselfe a deepe debter, a bankrupt, an out- law to GOD? |
A02567 | Who then shall comfort him? |
A02567 | Who then? |
A02567 | With whome? |
A02567 | Yet any thing is light to the Soule, whiles the comfortes of God sustaine it: who can dismay, where God will relieue? |
A02567 | and doe wee, their cold and feeble ofspring, looke pale at the face of a faire and naturall death; abhorre the violent, though for Christ? |
A02567 | are the desires of thy soule with God? |
A02567 | as those that should neuer part with it, as those that thinke it giuen them to spend, not to returne with a reckoning? |
A02567 | distempred with passions, charged with sinnes, vexed with tentations; aboue none of these: how should it bee otherwise? |
A02567 | do we now againe goe about to fetch him out of his glory, to scorne and crucifie him? |
A02567 | doest thou long for holines, complaine of thy imperfections, struggle against thy corruptions? |
A02567 | doth griefe& hatred striue within thee, whether shal be more? |
A02567 | forsaken me? |
A02567 | from one Christ to another? |
A02567 | he gaue vpp the Ghost, and wouldest thou keepe it? |
A02567 | he must be sold: for what? |
A02567 | himselfe? |
A02567 | his Father? |
A02567 | how farre are our soules gone, that could not be ransomed with any easier price? |
A02567 | how gaue hee it vpp, and whither? |
A02567 | how long shall thy poore Church find her ornamentes, her sorrows? |
A02567 | how should our faces be couered with darkenesse, and our ioy be turned into heauinesse? |
A02567 | how worthie of so happie a succession? |
A02567 | how worthy neuer to die? |
A02567 | how worthy of a soule so neere to his heauen? |
A02567 | nayled to it, so is the prophesie, foderunt manus, they haue pierced my hands and my feet, sayth the Psalmist: with what company? |
A02567 | or what haue the prophesies of so many hundreds, yea thousands of yeeres foresaid, that is not with this word finished? |
A02567 | or what wouldest thou doe with thy selfe? |
A02567 | sacrifices still? |
A02567 | saith one, O LORD, what thirstest thou for? |
A02567 | shall hee weepe to vs in this Market place, and shall not we mourne? |
A02567 | sprinkling, shauing, purifying? |
A02567 | still all, and more then all? |
A02567 | still vnctions? |
A02567 | still washings? |
A02567 | thirty siluer peeces, and what must those doe? |
A02567 | to the Crosse, it is the prophesie, hanging vpon a tree, saith Moses, how lift vp? |
A02567 | two theeues, with the wicked was hee numbred, sayth Esay: where? |
A02567 | wee haue him, thanks be to our good God, and we heare him dayly; and whither shall wee goe from thee? |
A02567 | what a speech? |
A02567 | what shall be the issue? |
A02567 | where is thine obedience to his commandements? |
A02567 | wherein? |
A02567 | while thou art secure, prophane, impenitent, thou art a VVolfe, or a Goate: My sheepe heare my voyce: what is his voyce, but his preceptes? |
A02567 | who could accomplish them, but the Sonne of God? |
A02567 | who could foretell these thinges, but the spirite of God? |
A02567 | whome wouldest thou follow, if not thy Redeemer? |
A02567 | without the gates saith the prophesie: what becomes of his garments? |
A02567 | yet further, betwixt both these and his loue, what a conflict was there? |
A45226 | A world of sinners Impotent, wretched creatures, that had dispighted thee, that had no motive for thy favour but deformity, misery, professed enmity? |
A45226 | And now after this heavenly repast, how do I feel my self? |
A45226 | Can I find my sins accessary to this thy death, and thy death meritoriously expiating all these my grievous sins, and not remember thee? |
A45226 | Can I hear thee freely offering thy selfe to me, and feele thee graciously conveighing thy self into my soul, and not remember thee? |
A45226 | Can I see thee thus crucified before my eyes, and for my sake thus crucified, and not remember thee? |
A45226 | Doe we not see some vaine churle, though cryed down by the multitude, herein secretly applauding himself that he hath bags at home? |
A45226 | Dost thou bid me, O Saviour, do this in remembrance of thee? |
A45226 | Doth God call for his ear? |
A45226 | How can I enough celebrate thee for this thy unspeakable mercy? |
A45226 | How can I without a Guide, said that Ethopian Eunuch: Wherefore serves the tongue of the Learned, but to direct the Ignorant? |
A45226 | How fair is thy love, my sister, my Spouse? |
A45226 | How is his passion lively acted before mine eyes? |
A45226 | How is my Saviour by all my senses here brought home to my soul? |
A45226 | How many worthy inhabitants make choice to fixe their abode within these walls, as not knowing where to bee happier? |
A45226 | How much more scope have we than they? |
A45226 | How shall they beleeve except they heare? |
A45226 | How soone would it clear up above head, if wee were but holily affected within? |
A45226 | How unworthy shall I be, if I doe not strive to answer this love of my God and Saviour, in all hearty affection, and in all holy obedience? |
A45226 | IS it solitude and Infrequence of visitation? |
A45226 | If thou wilt be extreme to mark what is done amisse, O Lord who may abide it? |
A45226 | If we be such auditors as the Jews were wo nt to call sieves, that retaine no moisture that is poured into them? |

A45226 | Is it an allotment to the same roome without change, without remove? |
A45226 | Is it for fashion? |
A45226 | Is it for recreation? |
A45226 | Is it in a desire to approve my selfe to my God, in the conscience of my humble obedience to his command, and my holy attendance upon his Ordinance? |
A45226 | Is it not rather thy bloud of the New Testament, that is poured out for me? |
A45226 | Is it to please others eyes, or to avoid their censures? |
A45226 | Is it to satisfie my owne curiosity in hearing what the Preacher will say? |
A45226 | Is it to satisfie the law, that requires my presence? |
A45226 | Is it to see, or to be seen? |
A45226 | Is the heart heavy with the grievous pressures of affliction? |
A45226 | Is this the bloud of the grape? |
A45226 | Lord what a transcendent, what an infinite love is this? |
A45226 | Lord, what is man that thou art mindfull of him? |
A45226 | Lord, where are thy old loving mercies? |
A45226 | Oh, how can I forget thee? |
A45226 | Or is it with a sincere desire to do my soul good, in gaining more knowledge, in quickning my affections? |
A45226 | Perhaps therefore you are mistaken in my condition; for what is it I beseech you that makes a prisoner? |
A45226 | V. IS it the reproach and ignominy that commonly attends the very name of an imprisonment? |
A45226 | What a clear representation is here of the great work of our Redemption? |
A45226 | What are our bowels made of, if they yearne not at their unexpressible calamity? |
A45226 | What are the feet of the soul, but our affections? |
A45226 | What are we the better if we hear and remember not? |
A45226 | What blinde light looks in here at these scant loop- holes of my soul? |
A45226 | What but our prison wals can hinder us here, from a free prospect? |
A45226 | What but these wals of flesh can hinder me from a cleare vision of God? |
A45226 | What care I for chatting with friends, when I may talk familiarly with the God of heaven? |
A45226 | What care I for seeing of men, when I may see him that is invisible? |
A45226 | What friend would be pleased that wee should lodge him in a Lazar- house? |
A45226 | What intention of holy thoughts, what fervour of spirit, what depth of Devotion must we now find in our selves? |
A45226 | What is that still to a mind that is free? |
A45226 | What service can our eyes doe us in the wayes of God without our thoughts? |
A45226 | What shal I render unto the Lord for all his benefits towards me? |
A45226 | What the better if we remember, but think not seriously of what we hear; or if we practice not carefully what we think of? |
A45226 | Who is God but the Lord, and who hath any strength except our God? |
A45226 | Who is there that needs not vehement excitations, and helps to Devotion? |
A45226 | Why more than those Anachorites whom wee have seen willingly coopt up for merit? |
A45226 | Why more than those great persons which keep up for state; or dames for beauty? |
A45226 | Why should it? |
A45226 | Why should not I have so much power over my will as to make that voluntary in me, to undergoe, which another wills forceably to inflict? |
A45226 | Yea, what darknes of ignorance rather possesses me? |
A45226 | and for their happy and speedy deliverance out of their woefull captivity? |
A45226 | and what is the world, but my prison in the other kind? |
A45226 | and when more than now? |
A45226 | for what other termes do I find here? |

A45226 | how contumeliously traduced? |
A45226 | how disabled to all spiritual motions? |
A45226 | how disdainfully lookt upon? |
A45226 | how dragging the same chaine with the worst malefactors? |
A45226 | how many prisons doe we passe? |
A45226 | how much am I nearer to heaven than before? |
A45226 | how much faster hold have I taken of my blessed Redeemer? |
A45226 | how much more firm and sensible is my interest in him? |
A45226 | how restrained from that full liberty of enjoying my home, and my God in it, which I daily expect in my dissolution? |
A45226 | or when should we goe to seek the face of our God, rather, than in the needfull time of trouble? |
A45226 | or who would abide to have a Toad lie in his bosome? |
A45226 | what an object was this for thee to love? |

A45310 | What maceration is there here with feares and jealousies ▪ what cruel extortion and oppression exercised upon other? |

A45310 | Who is the Lord? |
A45310 | Who now can complain of want, when he hears his Lord and Saviour but thus Provided for? |
A45310 | Who would go any other way then his Saviour went before him? |
A45310 | Who would not have been angry with that cholerick Prophet to hear him so furiously contest with his maker for a withered Gourd? |
A45310 | Would I have meat and drink? |
A45310 | Yea, how many, that out of an impatience to stay the leasure of vengeance, have made their own hands, their hasty Executioners? |

A45310 | to be in the case of Surena the Parthian Lord ▪ that could never remove his Family with less then a thousand Camels? |
A45310 | we see him by us, who hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee: Do we droop under spiritual desertions? |
A45310 | we seed upon the cordial Promises of our God: Do we sigh and groan under varieties of grievous persecutions? |
A45310 | we wish to live, who can blame us? |
A45310 | what but a fair blossom, that drops off, so soon as the fruit offers to succeed it? |

A14614 | Where I beseech you consider( for I am sure you can not but know it) that all things necessary to saluation are euidently set downe in holy Scripture? |
A14614 | Who are then Protestants, if the Lutherans and Zuinglians bee not? |
A14614 | Who art thou( saith he) that iudgest another mans seruant? |
A14614 | Who can tell what God may worke? |
A14614 | Who should euer haue vnderstood these Texts, if your infallible Interpreter had not declared them? |
A14614 | Who should that SHEE be, but shee that is blessed among women? |
A14614 | Why might they not haue gone to the next Church as well? |
A14614 | Why might they not? |
A14614 | Why then did not either Sixtus or Clemens, or they themselues hauing Copies for it, correct it, and make it so in the authenticall Text? |
A14614 | Why, who will vndertake to defend Lutbers speeches, or all that falls from contentious pens? |
A14614 | Why? |
A14614 | Yet Nicodemus spake not a ● isse, when hee demanded, Doth our law iudge any man, vnlesse it heare him first? |
A14614 | Yet you say boldly they are Rebels, and aske why wee did support them? |
A14614 | You demand, If this man, King Henry, were a good head of Gods Church? |
A14614 | and saw he not a light in forme of a crosse? |
A14614 | and were the Primitiue and Apostolike Churches no true Churches? |
A14614 | doe not both sides agree to these? |
A14614 | for who can make any foundation vpon what another would doe in his cups? |
A14614 | his office? |
A14614 | how much more the things of the world? |
A14614 | or Epiphanius and Chrysostomes, or Victors and the Greeke Bishops? |
A14614 | or neede wee to bee ashamed to bee like them? |
A14614 | or of some certaine generall and ordinarie way to discerne the Truth of the Catholike Faith from the prophane nouelties of heresies? |
A14614 | or was Corinth the Apostolike See, and so many Popes there euen of the meanest of the Church? |
A14614 | or where should any finde the Sacraments, if inuisible? |
A14614 | there is neither number, nor ryme, h nor fiction in it: Would the great Schoole man haue had me to haue packt vp a Letter of syllogismes? |
A14614 | to condemne Bishops without his priuitie? |
A14614 | to translate Bishops by the Kings commandement? |
A14614 | what were to be expected of a Monitorie Epistle which intended onely the occasion if he had pleased of a future discourse? |
A14614 | wherefore the gift of God in vs Ministers con ● erred by the imposition of hands? |
A14614 | wherefore the supernaturall light of Faith? |
A14614 | which of the Fathers( whose high steppes I haue desired to tread in) haue giuen that example? |
A14614 | ● pray let Master Hall tell me, where should I haue fixed my foot? |
A45182 | All our other weaknesses are no eye- sore to God, no rub in our way to heaven; What matters it then how unworthy wee are of our selves? |
A45182 | And if this floor of thine heavenly Palace be thus richly set forth, oh, how infinite glory and magnificence must there needs be within? |
A45182 | And where he findes his failings,( as who shall not?) |
A45182 | Art thou then thus happily united to Christ, and thus enlived by Christ? |
A45182 | But oh vvhat a blessed inheritance hast thou in thine infinite love provided for me? |
A45182 | But, O Lord, if yet thou shouldst leave me in my own hands, where vvere I? |
A45182 | Can the Son of God pray and not be heard? |
A45182 | Can there bee any bodily deformitie comparable to that of sin? |
A45182 | Can they affain to the Sonne of God a body that is unperfect? |
A45182 | Can they think sin can be of more prevalence then mercy? |
A45182 | Can they think that body perfect that hath lost his lims? |
A45182 | Can they think the unchangeable God subject to after- thoughts? |
A45182 | Did thy love so far over- shoot thy reason, as to pray they might attain to the knowledge of that which can not be known? |
A45182 | For where is the man that hath obtained the mastery of his corrupt affections, and to be the Lord of his unruly appetite? |
A45182 | For, if we set up more Christs, where is that one? |
A45182 | From death, and therein from all miseries: O death, where is thy sting? |
A45182 | He that hath given himself to her; what can be deny to impart? |
A45182 | He that hath made himself one with her, how can he be divided from his other- self? |
A45182 | How chearfully should I passe through those miseries and that death, which thou hast sweetned? |
A45182 | How dare they stand out against the word of truth, which tels us expresly that Christ is made our righteousnesse? |
A45182 | How dear a price hast thou paid for our ransome? |
A45182 | How doe evill spirits& men labour to destroy that Creed w ch we have always constantly professed? |
A45182 | How happy in thy blessed possession? |
A45182 | How hast thou blessed us, and how should we blesse thee in so mighty, and glorious attendants? |
A45182 | How little do they consider that Christ is ours? |
A45182 | How resolutely shall I grapple with the temptations of that enemy, vvhom thou hast foiled for me? |
A45182 | How safe in thine Almighty tuition? |
A45182 | How shall I bee vile enough, O Saviour, for thee, who for my sake( being the Lord of life and glory) wouldst take upon thee the shape of a servant? |
A45182 | How shamefully injurious were it, that when thou hast trimm''d up my soul, it should prostitute it self to the love of the world? |
A45182 | How should I welcome that poverty which thy choice hath sanctified? |
A45182 | If Saint Paul, when his Corinthians did but say, I am of Paul, I am of Apollo, I am of Cephas, could ask, Is Christ divided? |
A45182 | Is Christ shred into infinities? |
A45182 | Is Christ sub- divided? |
A45182 | Is he a father of children? |
A45182 | Is he a servant? |
A45182 | Is he a son? |
A45182 | Is he a subject? |
A45182 | Is he bereaved of his goods and worldly estate? |
A45182 | Is he the husband of a wife? |
A45182 | Is he the master of a family? |
A45182 | Is it for that there may be holy ambitions of those heights of grace, which we can never hope actually to attain? |
A45182 | Is it the loathsome condition of our nature? |
A45182 | It is God that justifieth, who is he that condemneth? |
A45182 | It is God that justifieth: Who shal separate us from the love of Christ? |
A45182 | It is the love of Christ which thou wishest they may know, and it is that love which thou sayest is past all knowledge; What shall we say to this? |
A45182 | It was a just check that he gave to Philip in the Gospel; Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known mee, Philip? |
A45182 | Lord Jesu, who should enjoy the fruit of thine own favours but thy self? |
A45182 | Not our sins; for this is the praise of his mercy, that he justifies the ungodly; Yea, were wee not sinfull, how were we capable of his justification? |
A45182 | Now alas, what is our life? |
A45182 | O Lord Jesu, what was I but the worst of enemies, when thou vouchsafedst to embrace me with thy loving mercy? |
A45182 | O grave, where is thy victory? |
A45182 | Oh what are we in comparison of thine once- glorious Angels? |
A45182 | Satisfaction? |
A45182 | Shall tribulation, or distresse, or persecution, or famine, or nakednesse, or perill, or sword? |
A45182 | This is so justly supposed, that the Prophet questions, Can two walk together, except they be agreed? |
A45182 | To him to live is Christ, and to dye is gain; Is he dead? |
A45182 | To this purpose Christ gives his spirit; the soule plights her faith: What interesse have we in Christ but by his spirit? |
A45182 | What an infinite power hath put together, can they imagine that a limited power can disjoyn? |
A45182 | What doe we then, weak souls, tremble to think of appearing before the dreadfull tribunall of the Almighty? |
A45182 | What is it then that can hinder us from a sweet and heavenly fruition of thee? |
A45182 | What is it then whereby the new creature lives? |
A45182 | What is the least of them, but a world of light? |
A45182 | What quarrell may the pure and holy God have against righteousnesse? |
A45182 | What raptures of spirit can be sufficient for the admiration of thy so infinite mercy? |
A45182 | What strangers are they to that grace they oppugn? |
A45182 | Wherefore hath God givē to men the tongue of the learned, but that they might know to speak a word in season to him that is weary? |
A45182 | Who can be capable to love us but men or Angels? |
A45182 | With vvhat comfortable assurance shall I look upon the face of that mercifull Justice vvhich thou hast satisfied? |
A45182 | Woe is me, into how many thousand peeces is the seamlesse coat of our Saviour rent? |
A45182 | Wouldst thou therefore, my son, finde true and solid comfort in the houre of temptation, in the agony of death? |
A45182 | Yea, how readily doe we expose our dear lims, not to hazard onely, but to losse for the preservation of it? |
A45182 | Yea, into what numberlesse atomes is the precious body of Christ torn and minced? |
A45182 | against his own righteousnesse? |
A45182 | all of them claiming Christ for theirs, and denying him to their gain- sayers; would hee not aske, Is Christ multiplied? |
A45182 | and if we give way to these infinite distractions, where is the communion of Saints? |
A45182 | and in this mutuall fruition, what can there be other then perfect blessednesse? |
A45182 | and such are we made in, and by him: what can now stand between us and blessedness? |
A45182 | and what are all of them, but a confluence of so many thousand worlds of beauty and brightnesse met in one firmament? |
A45182 | and who can be otherwise affected that knows and feels the infinite happinesse that offers it self to be enjoyed by him in the Lord Jesus? |
A45182 | art thou not ashamed to think, how little sense thou hast had of thy great happinesse? |
A45182 | but that thou wouldst love man, because thou wouldst? |
A45182 | can they suppose that which by way of type was done in the earthly Paradise, to be really undone in the heavenly? |
A45182 | fetch it from his Soveraignty; Wouldst thou have redemption? |
A45182 | fetch it from his bloud; Mortification? |
A45182 | fetch it from his crosse? |
A45182 | fetch it from his grave; Newnesse of life? |
A45182 | fetch it from his intercessiō; Wouldst thou have salvation? |
A45182 | fetch it from his passion; Wouldst thou have absolution? |
A45182 | fetch it from his perfect innocence; Freedome from the curse? |
A45182 | fetch it from his purchase; Audience in all thy suits? |
A45182 | fetch it from his resurrection; Right to heaven? |
A45182 | fetch it from his sacrifice; Cleansing from sin? |
A45182 | fetch it from his session at the right hand of Majesty: Wouldst thou have all? |
A45182 | fetch them from his anointing; Wouldst thou have power against spirituall enemies? |
A45182 | he comforts himself in the conscience of a better treasure that can never be lost; Is he afflicted with sicknesse? |
A45182 | he knows he is on his way home- ward; Is he imprisoned? |
A45182 | his comfort is that the inward man is so much more renued daily, as the outward perisheth: Is he slandered and unjustly disgraced? |
A45182 | his comfort is that there is a blessing, which will more then make him amends; Is he banished? |
A45182 | his spirit can not be lockt in; God and his Angels can not be lockt out; Is he dying? |
A45182 | how easily should I be rob''d of thee with every temptation? |
A45182 | how entire must thou needs be with him, how dear must thy valuations be of him, how heartily must thou be devoted to him? |
A45182 | how had I crucified thee the Lord of life? |
A45182 | how had I shamefully rebelled against thee, and yeelded up all my members as instruments of unrighteousnesse unto sin? |
A45182 | how shall the weak eyes of sinfull flesh ever be able to reach unto it? |
A45182 | how should I be made the scorn and insultation of men and devils? |
A45182 | perishing under our hand in the very use of them, and in the meane while how unsatisfying in the fruition? |
A45182 | since thou wouldst come down to our earth, why wouldst thou not enjoy the best entertainment that the earth could yeeld thee? |
A45182 | that can see the invisible, and s ● or ● tly enjoy that Saviour, to whom he is spiritually united? |
A45182 | that hath his heart in heaven, whiles his living carcass is stirring here upō earth? |
A45182 | that he might seek a godly seed: That which he ordained for us, shall not the holy God much more observe in his own heavenly match with his Church? |
A45182 | that they should bear me in their arms, that they should shield me with their protection? |
A45182 | thee, who hast the keys of hell, and of death, lying sealed up in another mans grave: Oh Saviour, whither hath thy love to mankinde carried thee? |

A45182 | thy precepts, thine examples, that so I may live thee, as well as preach thee? |
A45182 | what a world doe we meet with of those, who mis- call themselves severall Religions, indeed, severall professions of one and the same Christianity? |
A45182 | what anguish of souls that would, and can not die? |
A45182 | what confusion? |

A45182 | what sighs, and groans, and tears, and blood, hast thou spent upon us wretched men? |
A45182 | what utter despair of any possibility of release? |
A45182 | whence? |
A45182 | who but thou( who art infinite in goodnesse) would love that which is not? |
A45182 | who is offended, and I burn not? |
A45182 | why should I, how can I be any otherwise, any whit lesse affected, O Saviour? |
A45182 | would he be thus disposed as I now feel my self? |
A45182 | would he speak these words that I am now uttering? |
A45182 | yet had he the residue of the spirit; and wherefore one? |
A45274 | All our other weaknesses are no eye- sore to God, no rub in our way to heaven; What matters it then how unworthy we are of our selves? |
A45274 | And if this floor of thine heavenly Palace be thus richly set forth, oh, how infinite glory and magnificence must there needs be within? |

A45274 | what room can there be now here for onr diffidence? |
A45274 | what sighs, and groans, and tears and bloud, hast thou spent upon us wretched men? |
A45274 | what utter despair of any possibility of release? |
A45274 | whence? |
A45274 | who but thou( who art infinite in goodnesse) would love that which is not? |
A45274 | who is offended, and I burn not? |
A45274 | why should I, how can I be any otherwise, any whit lesse affected, O Saviour? |
A45274 | would he be thus disposed as I now feel my self? |
A45274 | would he speak these words that I am now uttering? |
A45319 | And for the free use whereof he blessed that God to whom hee was sending up his soule? |
A45319 | And would learned Capellus( thinke you) make himselfe so merrie at the view of this passage? |
A45319 | Are you not sufficiently convinced herein, by the Synod of Laodicea? |
A45319 | But how am I mistaken? |
A45319 | But what doth this imply other, then that there were of old, prescriptions both of number, and time, and formes, though not expressed in the Law? |
A45319 | But, Why may we not( you say) use the testimony of Antichrist, against Antichristian Bishops? |
A45319 | But, where( ye say) were the rest of the peaceable and orthodoxe Bishops the while? |
A45319 | Can they finde the roof in the foundation? |
A45319 | Could hee not utter it without help of his fellowes? |
A45319 | Did Doctor Hall faine that Luther said so? |
A45319 | Did they either say, or think it, the more, because hee spake it? |
A45319 | For first, have they ever professed their whole and sole intentions, or have they not? |
A45319 | For what is it that hee sayes? |
A45319 | Grant it to be larger then it is; is it yet Essentiall? |
A45319 | How did they ere the more pray without a prompter? |
A45319 | How is it more out of their heart, when they follow the Minister praying out of unknown conceptions, then out of foreknown prescription? |
A45319 | How now, Brethren? |
A45319 | I beseech you, brethren, what thinke you of the Lords Prayer? |
A45319 | I cited but one, what needed you( but to shew the world you can tell something) to talk of two? |
A45319 | I had thought you would have looked for the reclamation of erring soules by the power of preaching? |
A45319 | If not, how come you to know what they never expressed? |
A45319 | If peace bee the thing you desire, who is it that hath broken it? |
A45319 | If the case bee equall, why doe you not labour to convince your people of so unjust a partialitie; and to reclaime them from so palpable an errour? |
A45319 | If they have, why have you suppressed it? |
A45319 | In good time, Brethren; And why should not I take leave to returne the same answer to you in this your tedious velitation of Episcopacie? |
A45319 | In what sense you meant the self- confoundednesse you impute to me, what matters it to the Reader? |
A45319 | Is it not more certaine that Christ is God and man? |
A45319 | Is that a perfect platforme of our devotion, or is it not? |
A45319 | Is the ground- work of an house, the whole frame of it? |
A45319 | Let that bee as fond, as your exception is unseasonable; What is that to us? |
A45319 | Let the Reader now judge, where this shuffling lies: The Canon requires one of these prayers to be in silence; what then? |
A45319 | Must this bee an Article of our Creed,& c. Nothing more certaine? |
A45319 | None in Idolatrous or Superstitious rites? |
A45319 | None in corruption of Government? |
A45319 | None in lawes Ecclesiasticall? |
A45319 | None in matter of Practise? |
A45319 | None in offensive Customes? |
A45319 | Notes for div A45319e-1950 Doth hee say, those Iudges were called Areopagi? |
A45319 | Now, how doth that concerne us? |
A45319 | On what ground, I beseech you? |
A45319 | Or doe these men feare that Luther is turn''d Papist? |
A45319 | Or what such absurd project is there, in this just restraint? |
A45319 | Say, Readers, is not this a likely testimony to bee produced against set formes of Prayer? |
A45319 | Say,( as you have undertaken) what such huge difference there is betwixt King Iames his Book, and Queen Elizabeths? |
A45319 | See the instances; In the same Epistle, I professe not to tax their abilities, and yet call them impotent assailants: And why not both of these? |
A45319 | Some have made an Idol of their silver and gold, must I therefore cast away this metall? |
A45319 | TO the fifth, The great distaste which these publick prayers meet withall, is truly lamentable, and the effect of that distaste, separation: yet more? |
A45319 | Tell me, I beseech you, what thinke you of our Saviours Epitome of a Liturgie, the Lords Prayer? |
A45319 | The Testimony can not be eluded, now it must be disparaged;[ Ioseph Scaliger had certainly but two Samaritan Chronicles] Who saies he had more? |
A45319 | The question is not, what may cover our differences, but what may disunite our Churches? |
A45319 | There is no one line in them, which I am not ready to justifie; what one word is here liable to exception? |
A45319 | VVHat a windie Section have you past, wherein you confesse you have striven for words? |
A45319 | Was it not prescribed for the help of the devotion of all disciples? |
A45319 | Was it, then, that not the people, but the Minister was left to the liberty of his expressions? |
A45319 | Was there no Reformation but in matter of Doctrine? |
A45319 | We allow both, you would rob us of one, where is the sacriledge? |
A45319 | Well: Compare Luther with the Bishop of Salisburie; two worthy Divines, what then? |
A45319 | Were it a good ground of judgement, that he, who once erres, can never say true? |
A45319 | Were the imposition amisse, what were this to the people? |
A45319 | What Is it not more certaine that there is a God? |
A45319 | What a Woolseian insolence were this? |
A45319 | What businesse have we with that shorter Chronicle, which you will needs draw into mention? |
A45319 | What call you eclipsing, if this be none? |
A45319 | What can you make of these Allegations? |
A45319 | What if to take a licence to preach from the hands of a Popish Bishop, seemed to him no better then to receive the marke of a Beast? |
A45319 | What is it then that you would hence inferre? |
A45319 | What is that to the people? |
A45319 | What is, if this be not a plaine shuffle? |
A45319 | What lose we by this condescent? |
A45319 | What mean you, Brethren, thus to delude the Reader? |
A45319 | What meane you, brethren, to urge so improbable a proof? |
A45319 | What must the indifferent Reader needs think of this? |
A45319 | What proof call you this? |
A45319 | What reason have you to feoffe a private conceit on all? |
A45319 | What, in so angry a confidence? |
A45319 | What? |
A45319 | Where I said, If the Divell confesse Christ to be the Sonne of God, shall I disclaime the truth, because it passed through a damned mouth? |
A45319 | Where now is your charitie in raising such groundlesse intimations against your innocent brethren? |
A45319 | Where, or wherein, Brethren? |
A45319 | Wherein, I beseech you, brethren? |
A45319 | Who can expect other but that a Samaritan should speak like himselfe, when it comes to a difference in Religion? |
A45319 | Who can forbeare to smile at this doughty proofe? |
A45319 | Why do you suffer your hands to widen that, which your tongues would seeme to close? |
A45319 | Why, Brethren, was that word too big for one mans mouth? |
A45319 | Will any Justice hold it enough to accuse? |
A45319 | Will it follow from hence, that I affirme Bishops to have beene alwayes every where? |
A45319 | Will those solid judgements bee likely to be swayed by colours? |
A45319 | With a Church that allowes some of their wholesome prayers, or that which rejects and defies all, though never so holy, because theirs? |
A45319 | Yet more anger; The Remonstrant rises higher and sets the Mitre above the Crown? |
A45319 | and descant fearfully upon the word, Nothing more certain? |
A45319 | and if I have disadvantaged my cause, why is it not urged to my conviction? |
A45319 | are these things you mention, any part of the Leiturgie? |
A45319 | are they found in any Rubrick of the Communion- book? |
A45319 | are they prescribed by any law of the Church? |
A45319 | dens Marmora Arundeliana? |
A45319 | have they not hit the bird in the eye? |
A45319 | or whether we might vary our prayers with our occasions? |
A45319 | what is that to those, whose proceedings have beene square and innocent? |
A45319 | what is that to us? |
A45319 | what to the cause? |
A45319 | whence were those passages of interchanged devotion, which the Centuriators themselves instance in, from Cyprian, fore- alledged by mee? |
A45280 | ANd now, what is to be done? |
A45280 | Alas, what anguish do I feel in my self to see the body of a malefactour flaming at a stake? |
A45280 | And how safe are we under so many, and so mighty Protectors? |
A45280 | And if any then of those spirits could have been originally evil, whence could he pretend to fetch it? |
A45280 | And now, Lord, what pure and resplendent light is this, wherein thy blessed ones dwel? |
A45280 | And what a strange confusion were this, in stead of an heavenly order of remuneration? |
A45280 | But let thy favour, O God, order and accompany the deputation of the lowest of thine Angels; what can all the troops of hell hurt us? |
A45280 | But, O ye blessed, immortal glorious spirits, who can know you, but he that is of you? |
A45280 | Can we make any doubt that the blessed Angels know each other? |
A45280 | Canst thou believe this O my soul, and yet recoil ● t the thought of thy departure? |
A45280 | Do they despise these houses of clay, wherein they once dwelt? |
A45280 | Doth Moses turn his rod into a serpent? |
A45280 | Doth he smite the waters into bloud? |
A45280 | For, how can we give him the honour due to his name, whiles we conceive too narrowly of him, and his works? |
A45280 | God made all things good; sin could be no work of his: How should the good that he made, produce the evill which he hates? |
A45280 | HOw often have I begged of my God, that it would please him to shew me some little glimpse of the glory of his Saints? |
A45280 | He that can so easily transform himself, will seem to doe good; What cures doth he often work? |
A45280 | How are my thoughts at a losse in this place of confusion? |
A45280 | How can it be otherwise? |
A45280 | How do they spend, not their time, but their eternity? |
A45280 | How is the earth every where drenched with humane bloud? |
A45280 | How justly did thine Ecstatical Apostle call it the inheritance of the Saints in light? |
A45280 | How safe are we, since their power is limited, our protection infinite? |
A45280 | How? |
A45280 | Lastly, what life can there be properly but of the soul? |
A45280 | Lo, his Armies are past all number, how much more his several souldiers? |
A45280 | Nay, how oft hath he testified his prohibitions, and detestation of these courses? |
A45280 | Oh for a fountain of tears to bewaile the stain of Gods people in all the coasts of the Earth: How is Christendome become an universall Aceldama? |
A45280 | Or can we imagine that those Angelicall spirits do not take speciall notice of those souls which they have guarded here, and conducted to their glory? |
A45280 | SUch are the respects of good Angels to us; now what is ours to them? |
A45280 | SUch is the place, such is the condition of the blessed; What is their implement? |
A45280 | Shortly, what is the end of our faith but sight? |
A45280 | WHo can know how much he is bound to God for safe- guard, if he doe not apprehend the quality of those enemies, wherewith he is incompassed? |
A45280 | WHo can think other, but that the great God of heaven loseth much glory by our ignorance? |
A45280 | What a difference then there is of times, and means? |
A45280 | What a life doth the presence of the Sun put into all Creatures here below? |
A45280 | What can be wished more, where there is fulness of joy? |
A45280 | What communion were there of Saints, if the departed souls were not ▪ and the soul, when it begins to be perfect, should cease to be? |
A45280 | What woman or childe can not make faces at a fierce Lion, or a bloudy Bajazet lockt up fast in an iron grate? |
A45280 | Who then, O God, who is able to stand before these sons of Anak? |
A45280 | With them of old, there was no more but a word of command, and an instant ejection: here, what a world of business? |
A45280 | Wo is me, what a dolefull, what a dreadful spectacle is this which is now presented to my soul? |
A45280 | Wo is me, what throngs are carried to hell by these devillish impostures? |
A45280 | alas this soul of mine knows not it self, how shall it know you? |
A45280 | and how can that life be everlasting, which is not continued? |
A45280 | and how could they hold a God, and no Spirit? |
A45280 | and what doth that triumph suppose, but both a beeing, and a beeing glorious? |
A45280 | at last perhaps when the body shall be resumed? |
A45280 | being for dissolution? |
A45280 | but in the exercise of the perpetual acts of their blessedness, vision, adhesion, fruition? |
A45280 | but to think of a whole years broyling in such a fire, how can it but turn our bowels within us? |
A45280 | every of their rods crawleth and hisseth as well as his? |
A45280 | have we been preserved from mortall dangers which we could not tell how by our providence to have evaded? |
A45280 | how do I dare to dance for a few minutes upon the mouth of hell with the peril of an everlasting burning? |
A45280 | how into Angels? |
A45280 | how much more when the great Dragon draws down the third part of the stars with his tail? |
A45280 | how senselesse were it to grant that no knowledge is hid from them, but of themselves? |
A45280 | how should sin come into the world? |
A45280 | light unexpressible, light unconceivable, light inaccessible? |
A45280 | or art thou so loath to take leave of a miserable companion for a while, on condition that he shall ere long meet thee happy? |
A45280 | or have they with Pharaohs Courtier, forgotten their fellow- prisoner? |
A45280 | or if there be a difference pleaded in the relations, where or how shal we finde it? |
A45280 | or that continued, that is not? |
A45280 | our obedience, more exact, our sins less and fewer then before we were thus heavily afflicted? |
A45280 | presence? |
A45280 | sanity for corruption? |
A45280 | to these the forlorn companions of their pilgrimage and warfare? |
A45280 | to what purpose were the resurrection of the body, but to meet with his old partner, the soul? |
A45280 | were it not for this strong, and straight curb of divine providence, what good man could breath one minute upon earth? |
A45280 | what absolute joy? |
A45280 | what an ordinary traffique doth he hold of Charms, Spels, Amulets? |
A45280 | what are we in such hands? |
A45280 | what blessing of herbs, and other ingredients of suffumigation? |
A45280 | what censing? |

A45280 | what sincere charity? |
A45280 | what sprinkling? |
A45280 | what subtile hypocrisie? |
A45280 | what the end of our hope but possession? |
A45280 | what the end of our love but enjoying? |
A45280 | what uproars do we find in the air? |
A45280 | what variety of direfull ceremonies? |
A45280 | what wonderfull majesty? |
A45280 | what ● ommotions, and turbulencies upon earth? |
A45280 | when he can at pleasure counterfeit an Angell of light? |
A45280 | where any promise to concurre with it? |
A45280 | wherefore serves the eye of reason and faith, but to see that lively and invisible power, which governs and comprehends it? |
A45280 | who can but tremble to think of their number, power, malice, cunning and deadly machinations? |
A45280 | why more in the resemblance of men, then of all other creatures since their deceit may be no lesse dangerous in either? |
A45280 | yea, but when? |
A45311 | ( Loe, the wife of thy covenant; therefore too sure setled to be turn''d off upon every sleight occasion; what? |
A45311 | 24 V. Whether and how farre Monopolies are, or may be lawfull? |
A45311 | 7. would he not straight say: some belike I am allowed to lye? |
A45311 | ? |
A45311 | A poore neighbour that is constrained out of need? |
A45311 | Alas, the Canon is peremptory; It is incestuous and unlawfull; what plea is there for continuance? |
A45311 | And even amongst our selves, how apt we are to brand one another with this hatefull marke where there is no true merit of such a reproach? |
A45311 | And if he may not be a Judge, who may be an executioner? |
A45311 | And they called Rebecca, and said unto her, Wilt thou goe with this man? |
A45311 | And what can be more contrary to the honour and obedience due to Parents, then to neglect them in the maine businesse that concernes our lives? |
A45311 | And, Children obey your parents? |
A45311 | As for Lyra, who is trayled in here, and cited strongly in Othoniels case, what shall I say? |
A45311 | Besides, the Pharisees question[ Is it lawfull for a man to put away his wife for every cause?] |
A45311 | But alas you say; I am poor my self, what need I then look forth for any other? |
A45311 | But have there been( as he saith) precedents of this match? |
A45311 | But what a loose point is this? |
A45311 | But, indeed, what law ever said, Thou shalt kill that man whom thou knowest innocent, if false witnesse will swear him guilty? |
A45311 | CASE V. Whom may we justly hold an Heretick; and what is to be done in the case of Heresie? |
A45311 | Cozens German, he saith, have been allowed to marry; What is that to the present case? |
A45311 | Doe we acknowledge the Oracular Voice of our dear and holy Mother the Church of England, and yet question whether we should obey it? |
A45311 | Even modest Heathens would hisse this Libertinisme off the stage: Amongst the rest, what a fool was Socrates? |
A45311 | First, Who is it that borrows? |
A45311 | For what can be more unjust then for a man to indevor to raise himselfe by the affamishing of others? |
A45311 | From Rules, let us look to Authorities, It is directly maintained( he saith) by the Canonists, and Scholemen; But what is it, that is so maintained? |
A45311 | Hereticks then they are and onely they, that pertinaciously raze the foundation of the Christian faith; what now must be done with them? |
A45311 | How dare man then undoe the work of God upon devises of his own? |
A45311 | How far, and when am I bound to make restitution of another mans goods remaining in my hands? |
A45311 | How farre and when am I bound to make restitution of another mans goods remaining in my hands? |
A45311 | In this case what is to be done? |
A45311 | Indeed, how can it be otherwise? |
A45311 | Is it not because there is not a God in Israel that we goe to enquire of Baalzebub the God of Ekron? |
A45311 | Is not that coast equally excluded, though not expressed? |
A45311 | Is your heart therefore embroyled within you, with the guilt of some hainous sin? |
A45311 | It is fit for every honest man to seeme as he is; what do you howling amongst Wolves, if you be not one? |
A45311 | Now how can that marriage be in the Lord, which is against him? |
A45311 | Or can we thinke that God will indure an union made by himselfe to be so sleightly dissolved? |
A45311 | Or how is the Judge other then a partner in the injury, if for want of his seasonable interposition a good cause is lost, and a false plea prevailes? |
A45311 | Or rather is not the forme of publique judgement perverted, when innocence suffers for the maintenance of a formality? |
A45311 | Or what can be more horribly mischievous for a man, then to kill, that hee may steale? |
A45311 | Or what do you amongst the Cranes, if you be a Storke? |
A45311 | Or what necessity is there that the form of publique judgements should be perverted, unlesse an honest defendent must be undone by false sentence? |
A45311 | Parker, what doubt we now? |
A45311 | Secondly, upon what termes doe you lend? |
A45311 | Shall we therefore say, It is from the North? |
A45311 | Shortly; doe you enter into your armes, imprest, or voluntary? |
A45311 | The latter I must answer affirmatively: If the ordinances be holy, why should not you take your part of them? |
A45311 | Thirdly, if upon an absolute compact; is it upon a certainty, or an adventure? |
A45311 | This question starts another more universall, how farre we may, or ought to make known the secret sin of another? |
A45311 | To whom, but the owner? |
A45311 | Upon the summing up then of this discourse, will you be pleased to see the vast latitude of different opinions concerning these marriages? |
A45311 | What a wrong were it therefore to the great Lord and giver of life, to steale out of the world, without his leave that placed us there? |
A45311 | What doe I offer to particularize? |
A45311 | What remedy now can be expected of so great a mischiefe? |
A45311 | What scruple can arise hence? |
A45311 | What then is in this case to be done? |
A45311 | What words can be more plaine? |
A45311 | What yoak of bondage was this but the law of Ceremonies? |
A45311 | Whether Marriages once made, may be annulled, and utterly voided; and in what cases this may be done? |
A45311 | Whether a Judge may upon allegations, proofs and evidences of others, condemn a man to death, whom he himselfe certainly knowes to be innocent? |
A45311 | Whether a man adjudged to perpetuall imprisonment, or death, may in conscience indeavour, and practice an escape? |
A45311 | Whether and how far a man may act towards his owne death? |

A45311 | Whether and how farre a man may take up armes in the publique quarrell of a warre? |
A45311 | Whether and how farre doth a promise extorted by feare, though seconded by an oath, binde my Conscience to performance? |
A45311 | Whether and in what cases am I bound to be an accuser of another? |
A45311 | Whether is it lawfull for me to raise any profit by the loane of money? |
A45311 | Whether is the Seller bound to make known to the Buyer the faults of that which he is about to sell? |
A45311 | Whether is the seller bound to make knowne to the buyer the faults of that which he is about to sell? |
A45311 | Whether may I lawfully make use of a Duel for the deciding of my right; or the vindication of my honour? |
A45311 | Whether may I lawfully make use of a Duell for the deciding of my right, or the vindication of my honour? |
A45311 | Whether may I not sell my wares as deare as I can, and get what I may of every Buyer? |
A45311 | Whether may I not sell my wares as deare as I can, and get what I may of every buyer? |
A45311 | Whether may I sell my commodities the dearer for giving dayes of payment? |

A45311 | Whether may it be lawfull in case of extremity to procure the abortion of the Child for the preservation of the Mother? |
A45311 | Whether may it be lawfull, in case of extremity, to procure the abortion of the child, for the preservation of the mother? |

A45311 | Whether, and how farre doth a fraudulent bargaine bind me to performance? |
A45311 | Whether, and how farre doth a promise extorted by fear, though seconded by an oath, bind my conscience to performance? |
A45311 | Why at all, when there is no necessity, or use of the revelation? |
A45311 | Why may not I employ my restitution to the reliefe of my owne necessity? |
A45311 | Why so late, when the remedy intended, would be as noxious as the disease? |
A45311 | Woe is me: To what a passe is the world come that a Christian pretending to Reformation, should dare to tender so loose a project to the publique? |
A45311 | Yea how apparently contrary is this practise to the very originall institution of marriage it selfe? |
A45311 | Yea, what speake I of Divinity? |
A45311 | You ask now, to whom you should tender restitution? |
A45311 | and how can that be other then against the Lord; which is against the Lords commandement? |
A45311 | and of those that do contract themselves, how weakly and insufficiently is it performed on many hands? |
A45311 | and what faith is that? |
A45311 | and what is that violence, but the injurious execution of those suggestions? |
A45311 | and what is their faith, without a word? |
A45311 | and what were this other then to invite men to be accessary to those crimes, which the law in a due way intends to puuish? |
A45311 | but for the sweet and scarce valuable gaine of Dispensations, upon these occasions flowing into the Lateran Treasure? |
A45311 | how are those capable of a resurrection, which are onely changed? |
A45311 | how doe they wear out their dayes in a melancholick pining, and wish each other, and themselves dead too soon? |

A02536 | And euen then scarce a number? |
A02536 | And now the vulgar can say, If these men were not of God, they could doe nothing: How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? |
A02536 | And vvho knowes whether in that? |
A02536 | And what differs our end from yours, but in hast and violence? |
A02536 | And what feare without correction? |

A02536 | Are not the pointes controuerted still the same? |
A02536 | Are we all vnlearned, vnsufficient? |
A02536 | Are we then heretickes condemned in ourselues, wherin ouerthroew wee the foundation? |
A02536 | As Paul to the Corinthes, is it so that there is not one wise man amongest vs? |

A02536 | But what if a man list to taske himselfe continually, and wil be alwaies painfully deuote: may hee then neuer abstaine? |
A02536 | But what if they both can liue safely thus seuered? |
A02536 | But what is that we heare? |
A02536 | By the dear name of our common parents, what meanest thou, Arminius? |
A02536 | Can no man be saued but hee that knowes euery thing in scripture? |

A02536 | Can you thinke this probable? |
A02536 | Did feare of enuy, distrust of want? |
A02536 | Did not our aduersaries quarrell enough before, at our quarrels? |
A02536 | Do but see how God scorneth that vniust Prouerbe of the Iewes, That the fathers haue eaten sower Grapes, and the childrens teeth are set on edge? |

A02536 | How like are wee to children, in the training vp of our children? |
A02536 | How long then, and wherefore? |

A02536 | How many executors haue proued the executioners of honest wills? |
A02536 | How many of the Ancients, after a forceable Ordination, became not profitable onely, but famous in the Church? |
A02536 | How many thousand sue to her; and can not be look''t vpon? |
A02536 | How much lesse are straungers? |
A02536 | How much lesse ordination, which is but an outward admission to preach the gospel? |
A02536 | How much more of neighbours, whom scarce a sea seuereth from each other? |
A02536 | How rare is that man that prefers not himselfe to his dead friend? |

A02536 | If they affirme it, when ceased we? |
A02536 | If they deny it, Who then were so? |
A02536 | If they make thee famous, and the Churche miserable; who shall gain by them? |

A02536 | Is it necessary that what he once commaunded, should be obserued alwayes? |
A02536 | Is singularity so precious, that it should cost no lesse, then the safety and quiet of our common mother? |
A02536 | It is sinne not to cast out the deseruing; but not yours: who made you a Ruler& a Iudge? |

A02536 | Jn the maner of performing: in set Prayers, Antichristian Ceremonies of crossing, kneeling,& c, For the former: what sinne is this? |
A02536 | Js any bond so neere as this of blood? |
A02536 | Let mee not aske whether your affections be estranged, but wherefore? |
A02536 | Let this stand euicted for the true and necessary sense of the Apostle, and what is this, but to lay men in the ballance with God? |
A02536 | Little difference is betwixt good differred, and euill done: Good was meant, who hindered it, will our conscience say? |
A02536 | Looke into our Sauiours times: what corruptions were in the very Priesthood? |
A02536 | No man vvill affirm it: some of them haue censured our excesse in some knowledge; none, our defect in all: What then? |
A02536 | No zeal for Gods glory? |
A02536 | No:( Let them meete together againe) saith the Apostle, not as a toleratiō, but as a charge? |
A02536 | Not a man that knowes to deuide the word aright? |
A02536 | Nothing that I know can be faulted in the ordering of Child- hood, but indulgence Foolish Mothers, admit of Tutors, but debarre rods? |
A02536 | Now if the tongue speak not when it ought, shall we be so foolish as to blame the hand? |
A02536 | Or to whom but the true God? |
A02536 | Or who but you woulde not thinke the tyme mispent in answering it? |
A02536 | Or, from which of these are we reuolted? |
A02536 | Our blessed Sauiour sawe the glory of al Kingdomes,& contemned them: and can not the world look vpon vs Christians, but wee are be witched? |
A02536 | See wee not fiery and clouen tongues descending ▪ What Church euer since boasted of such founders; of such meanes? |
A02536 | Shall I thus recompence thy loue, in dooing that which thou hatest? |
A02536 | Shall not the childe smart for the Parent; and shall wee( euen spiritually) for others? |
A02536 | Shall we neglect the pursuit of vertue, because it pleases not, or rather displease, and neglect our selues, till it may please vs? |
A02536 | So the Church may be still, would God thou wert wise alone? |
A02536 | Some of them we can not doe; others wee neede not: which of vs can cast out diuels by command? |
A02536 | Some they graunt, but not the right: as if they sayde? |

A02536 | That you alone may fare better then all Gods Saints? |
A02536 | The same Gouernment, the same doctrine? |
A02536 | The vnclean must be seperated, not by the people: I Would you haue no distinction betwixt priuate and publicke persons? |
A02536 | Their Tradesmen may make true Ministers, our Ministers cānot: who but they wold not be ashamed of such a position? |
A02536 | Their minds are changed, not our estate: Who hath admonished, euinced, eccommunicated vs; and when? |
A02536 | There be more yet, which we neede not doe: VVhat neede wee to choose Ministers by Lot? |
A02536 | There is nothing that I more desire to be taught, then what is true Nobilitie: What thanke is it to you that you are borne wel? |
A02536 | Thinke not to extenuate your offence with the vain Titles of man- hood; what praise is this, that you were a valiaunt Murderer? |
A02536 | Thus setled, What is their care, theyr discourse; yea, their Trade, but eyther an Hound, or an Hawke? |

A02536 | VVhat say you? |
A02536 | VVhat should I speake of their difference of facts? |
A02536 | VVhat speake I of no hurt? |

A02536 | What is good if not patience? |
A02536 | What is( if this bee not) to make a monster of Christs body: hee is the heade, his Church the body, consisting of diuers limbes? |
A02536 | What neede I to stir vp your constancy, which hath already amazed, and wearied your persecutors? |
A02536 | What other God, Sauiour, Scriptures, Iustification, Sacraments, Heauen, do they teach beside vs? |

A02536 | Whome to solicit heerein, J know not, but all: How gald should I be, to spend my light to the snuffe, for the effecting of this? |
A02536 | Why blessed? |
A02536 | Why haue you this respite of liuing, but to preuent the imperious necessity of death? |
A02536 | Why wol ● d God begin with those which he meant not to continue, but to shew vs we may not alwayes looke for one face of things? |
A02536 | Without the wals of your restraint, where can you looke beside encouragements of suffering? |
A02536 | Yea aboue all these, the God of heauen fauours vs; and doe wee languish? |
A02536 | Yet who would not aduenture the losse of this paines for him, which is ready to loose himself for Christ? |

A02536 | You would not but doe good; why not now? |
A02536 | and that Religion should loose nothing but his person? |
A02536 | and that he should die in the peaceable streets, whom no fields could kil? |
A02536 | and with Salomon, condemne it of madnes? |
A02536 | blessed be the name of that God who hath singled you out for his Champion,& made you inuincible: how famous are your bonds? |

A02536 | why not, except beleeuers? |
A02536 | wo were vs, if we should thus liue in the daunger of all men: haue we not sins enow of our own, but we must borrow of others? |
A02536 | would you not bee afflicted? |
A45322 | ALas, Lord, how tenderly sensible I am of the least bodily complaint that can befall mee? |
A45322 | Alas, we can not be but lame in all our obediences: What can fall from defective causes, but imperfect effects? |
A45322 | And can wee doubt that it will be else- where better with us? |
A45322 | And canst thou pretend to bee within the verge of heaven, and not rejoyce? |
A45322 | And if we be wo nt to measure the worth of al things by their vertues and uses, and operations, what is it that your wealth can do? |
A45322 | And were it so precious as you imagine, what hold have you of it? |
A45322 | And what privilege can meer time give us in our duration? |
A45322 | And whose fault is it but ours, if wee forget the engagements of our sicke beds? |
A45322 | And why is this way narrow, but because it is untracked, and untrodden? |
A45322 | Another, Are not these my rich Mines? |
A45322 | Another, Is not this my royall and adored Magnificence? |
A45322 | Are they restrained? |
A45322 | Are you ever the wiser, ever the holier, ever the quieter for that which you have purchased with teares, and blood? |
A45322 | Art thou in heaven and know''st it not? |
A45322 | But above all other, did not those surpass in madnesse, who allowed of all Heresies, and professed to hold all opinions true? |
A45322 | But had they beene double to the age of Methusaleh, could they have been so much as a minute to eternity? |
A45322 | But narrow in respect of the weaknesse and insufficiency of our obedience? |
A45322 | But what were the place, O my soule, how goodly& glorious soever in it self, if it were not for the presence of him whose being there makes it heaven? |
A45322 | But, alas, what poor things are these in comparison of those heavenly promotions? |
A45322 | Can it free you from cares? |
A45322 | Can the Ward, after an hard pupillage chuse but rejoyce that the day is comming wherein he shall freely enjoy all his Lordly revenues and roialties? |
A45322 | Can we not feed on good meate without a surfet? |
A45322 | Can yee bee happier in a change? |
A45322 | Canst thou make question of the truth of the Earnest? |
A45322 | Cast thine eyes abroad into the world, what canst thou see but killing and dying? |
A45322 | Cast thine eyes up into heaven, how canst thou but thinke of the place of thy approaching rest? |
A45322 | Could they be lesse mad than they, that of the same Tree, would make a block for their fire, and a God for their Adoration? |
A45322 | Could they be other than blasphemously mad, that held there are two Gods, one good the other evill, and that all creatures were made by the latter? |
A45322 | Could they bee any other than mad men, that thought there was one God of the hils, another of the vallies? |
A45322 | Could they bee any other than stark mad that would lance, and gash their owne flesh, because their Block did not answer them by fire? |
A45322 | Could they bee other than mad which would worship Cain, Iudas, the Sodomites? |
A45322 | Doe wee not know what abides for us above? |
A45322 | HOw officious, O God, doe I see thy poore dumbe Creatures to us? |
A45322 | HOw regularly, O God, hast thou determined a set season for all thy Creatures, both for their actions and their use? |
A45322 | HOw slowly the houres seem to pace when we are big with the desire and expectation of any earthly contentment? |
A45322 | Had I made them, I could but require of them their absolute submission: Why should I then exact of them, more than I am ready to performe unto thee? |
A45322 | Hath the world benummed thee with such a dull stupidity that thou art growne regardlesse and insensible of eternall blessednesse? |
A45322 | Have yee not found their promises false, their performances unsatisfactory, their disappointment irksome? |
A45322 | Have yee not full often complained of the worthlesnesse, and satiety of these poore vanities here below? |
A45322 | Hee that increaseth knowledge, increaseth sorrow, saith the Kingly Preacher: Have I children? |
A45322 | How canst thou containe thy selfe any longer within these bounds of my flesh, when thou feelest thy selfe thus initiated into glory? |
A45322 | How canst thou then, bee, but pleasingly affected, O my soul, with the comfortable sense of having a God, a Savior, an heaven of thine own? |
A45322 | How justly glorifiable is thy name in the gracious, and sometimes miraculous, preservation of thy Children? |
A45322 | How many great wits are there in the world, which lie willingly concealed? |
A45322 | How many successions and changes of Princes both at home, and abroad? |
A45322 | How much good ground is there in the World, that is neither cultured nor owned? |
A45322 | How much more wouldst thou have it thus in the best of all blessings, the eternell fruition of heaven? |
A45322 | How oft have I not grudged to go a foule way to a friends house, where I knew my entertainement kind and cordiall? |
A45322 | How past the admiration of men and Angels, is that transcendent proof of thy divine love, in the more than marvelous work of our Redemption? |
A45322 | How should any perfect gift arise from the region of all imperfection? |
A45322 | How should evill afford any good? |
A45322 | How willingly, O Lord, should I stoop to this just condition of my Creation? |
A45322 | I can not bee rid of envy: Have I knowledge? |
A45322 | I can not bee void of cares: Have I honour? |
A45322 | If I look into my study; what are all those books, but the monuments of other dead authors? |
A45322 | If but a tooth begin to ake, or a thorn have rankled in my flesh, or but an angry Corne vexe my Toe, how am I incessantly troubled with the pain? |
A45322 | If the question be of a sinfull act already committed, what a shuffling there is to face it out by a stout justification? |
A45322 | In this sad case what is to bee done? |
A45322 | Is the Sun to be blamed that the Travellers cloak swelts him with heat? |
A45322 | Is the fruit of the Grape guilty of that Drunkennesse which followes upon a sinful excess? |
A45322 | Is the question concerning Vertue? |
A45322 | Is the question of sinne? |
A45322 | Is there any thing in this miserable world that can be worthy to carry you away from the hopes and affectations of blessednesse? |
A45322 | It is God that justifieth; who is he that condemneth? |
A45322 | It was a just question of the wisest of men, A wounded spirit who can bear? |
A45322 | Let the Sun shine never so bright, what is this to thee if thou bee blinde? |
A45322 | Lord what troubles and sorrowes hast thou let me see, both my owne and others? |
A45322 | Lord, how doe I see poore worldlings please themselves in the conceit of their miserable proprieties? |
A45322 | Nay, were they not worse than mad, who if we may beleeve Hosius, and Lindanus, and Prateolus, worshipt the Devill ten times every day? |
A45322 | No, alas, all our earthly contentments are like a Jewish Passeover, which wee must eate with soure herbes: Have I wealth? |
A45322 | O God, how can we hope to avoid delusions upon earth, when even the face of heaven may thus deceive us? |
A45322 | O My God, what a comfortable assurance is this which thou hast given to my soule? |
A45322 | O my soul, how canst thou bee unmindfull of our parting, when thou art plyed with so many monitors? |
A45322 | O then, with what unspeakable joy, and jubilation, dost thou entertaine thy happinesse? |
A45322 | Oh what an heaven is this which thou hast canopied over our heads? |
A45322 | One thinks, Is not this my great Babylon which I have built? |
A45322 | Rather than health should make us godlesse, how much better were it for us to be alwaies sicke? |
A45322 | Surely thine Apostle bids me rejoyce continually, and, who would not wish to do so? |
A45322 | Surely, as we finde here, that the Sun puts out the fire, and the greater light ever extinguisheth the lesse: so why may wee not think it to be above? |
A45322 | Thou knowest thy Originall is heavenly, why are not thy affections so? |
A45322 | VIctory it selfe is the great reward of our fight; but what is it, O God that thou promisest to give us as the reward of our Victory? |

A45322 | What a world of precious metals lies hid in the bowels of the earth, which shall never be coined? |
A45322 | What abominable sacrilege in those that would bee zealous? |
A45322 | What agonies in temptations? |
A45322 | What alterations of Governments? |
A45322 | What anguish in the oppressed and tormented? |
A45322 | What can fall into my thoughts or desires, beside, or beyond that which is infinite? |
A45322 | What canst thou finde here below worthy to either withdraw, or detain thee from those heavenly Mansions? |
A45322 | What cruelties and barbarismes in revenges? |
A45322 | What delicacies of Fouls and Fishes doe both Elements afford, which shall never come to the Dish? |
A45322 | What drunken revellings, what Sodomitical filthinesse, what hellish profanations in Atheous ruffians? |
A45322 | What ebbes and flowes of condition? |
A45322 | What frenzies of rebellions? |
A45322 | What grosse superstition in the ignorant? |

A45322 | What is below but earth and hell? |
A45322 | What is that makes heaven, but joy and felicity? |
A45322 | What perfidiousnesse in friendship, what cozenage in contracts, what cruelty in revenges; Shortly, what an Hell upon Earth? |

A45322 | What store of rich Pearles and Diamonds are hoarded up in the earth and sea, which shall never see the light? |
A45322 | What then, what is it that thou canst sticke at, O my soul? |
A45322 | What turnings of times? |
A45322 | What underminings of treachery? |
A45322 | What vicissitudes of sicknesse and health? |
A45322 | When thou art all in all to us, what can the knowledge of any creature adde to our blessednesse? |
A45322 | Whither are yee stray, O my thoughts? |
A45322 | Who hath heard the Nightingale in the heat of harvest? |
A45322 | Why should it not be thus alwaies with me? |
A45322 | Why therefore, oh, why, should ye be loath to part upon faire termes? |
A45322 | With what contempt now, dost thou looke downe upon those muddy foundations of earth, which the low spirits of worldlings are wo nt to admire? |
A45322 | Yea, what speake I of the times of ignorance? |
A45322 | Yea, what stand we upon this? |
A45322 | and how favourable indulgence and remission in case of our faylings? |
A45322 | and how is that again surrounded with severall heights of those lightsome Regions, unmeasurable for their glorious dimensions? |
A45322 | and lie equally still to be shorne, or slain at our pleasure? |
A45322 | and what doe I desire on earth in comparison of thee? |
A45322 | and what gracious latitude hast thou given us in it of our Obedience? |
A45322 | can it keepe you from head- aches, from Gouts, Dropsies, Feavers and other bodily distempers? |
A45322 | can it lengthen your sleeps? |
A45322 | can it make your account easier in the great day of reckoning? |
A45322 | can it ransome you from death? |
A45322 | concurring with, and actuating the motions and operations of all second causes of whatsoever is done in heaven, or in earth? |
A45322 | hast thou no stomack to thy happinesse? |
A45322 | how admirably beautifull? |
A45322 | how bestudded with goodly Globes of Light? |
A45322 | how carefully do I seek for a speedy remedy? |
A45322 | how doe they beare our stripes with a trembling unresistance? |
A45322 | how doe they fawne, or crouch, as they see us affected? |
A45322 | how doe they run and fetch, and carry, and draw at our command? |
A45322 | how feelingly doe I bemoane my selfe? |
A45322 | how great and happie should I have seemed, not more in others eies, than in my own? |
A45322 | how have I seen that poor Fowl, after the patience of a painfull hatching, clocking her little brood together? |
A45322 | how immensely capacious? |
A45322 | how patiently doe they yield us their milk and their fleeces for our advantage? |
A45322 | how readily doe they spend their strength, and their lives in our service? |
A45322 | if thou doe not earnestly wish for a full consummation of that heavenly match? |

A45322 | what means this sinfull and lossefull inconstancy? |
A45322 | what pangs in dying? |
A45322 | whereto have all thy sweet favours, and gracious love- tokens tended, but to this issue of blessednesse? |
A45322 | which till I feel, how little relish doe I finde in my wonted contentment? |
A45322 | with what scorne and insultation doth he look upon my dejectednesse? |
A02531 | A power able to puffe vp a carnall heart; but how can an heart that is more then flesh trust to an arme of flesh? |
A02531 | Absalom is sped; who shall report it to his father? |
A02531 | Alas, what can one strong man doe against a whole throng of wickednesse? |
A02531 | Alas, what hath that poore infant offended that it suruiues, and is sued for? |

A02531 | But whom doe I see wondring? |
A02531 | But, O Father of all mercies, how little pleasure doest thou take in the bloud of sinners? |
A02531 | But, what shall we thinke of this? |
A02531 | Can men be so sottish to thinke that the vowed enemie of their soules can offer them a baite, without an hooke? |

A02531 | Hath not God made the wisdome of the world foolishnesse? |
A02531 | He that had humilitie enough to kneele to the Sonne of God, hath boldnesse enough to expostulate, Art thou come to torment vs before our time? |

A02531 | How can I liue to see this part of my selfe sprawling vnder that bloudie sword? |
A02531 | How can we professe him a God, and doubt of his power? |

A02531 | Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that men goe to inquire of the god of Ekron? |
A02531 | It is no presuming vpon time ▪ or meanes, or strength; how many haue begun and proceeded well, who yet haue shamed themselues in their last stage? |
A02531 | It was a foule fault, and a dangerous one; Ye will not beleeue: What is it that shall condemne the world but vnbeleefe? |
A02531 | Length of time can not dispense with our oathes, with our vowes; The vowes and oathes of others may binde vs, how much more our owne? |

A02531 | Oh holy Dauid, whither hath a glorious vanitie transported thee? |
A02531 | Oh what shall become of vs, that reele and fall in the cleerest Sun- shine that euer looked forth vpon any Church? |
A02531 | Shimei feeles no paine in this restraint; How many Nobles of Israel doe that for pleasure, which he doth vpon command? |
A02531 | That he should be carefull to order his house, who regarded not to order his impotent passions? |
A02531 | That he should care for his house, who cared not for either body or soule? |
A02531 | That the world who is the friend, the vassall of Satan, is in no warre with him? |

A02531 | What could any liuing man haue done more to wipe off these bloudy aspersions? |
A02531 | What could malice say worse, He casteth out Deuils through Beelzebub the Prince of Deuils? |
A02531 | What euill can befall vs which thou knowest not, feelest not, relieuest not? |
A02531 | What feare can be of vsurpation where they haue so glorious a precedent? |
A02531 | What holy vse is thereof our tongue but to praise our Maker, to confesse our sins, to informe our brethren? |

A02531 | What is this deepe but hell? |
A02531 | What is this we heare? |
A02531 | What man is the worse for my harmlesse iourney? |

A02531 | Which of vs can promise to secure our selues from thy ruines? |
A02531 | Which of vs dares euer hope to aspire vnto thy graces? |
A02531 | Who but he fetcht him from his house at Ierusalem( whereto he had beene two yeeres confined) to the face, to the lips of Dauid? |

A02531 | Yea( which is yet more) how plaine is it that these men forced their tongue to speake this slander against their owne heart? |
A02531 | Yea, how doe the subiects of thine owne kingdome daily conspire against thee? |
A02531 | and why should wee grudge to doe that, which all doe? |
A02531 | both for the vtter separation from the face of God; and for the impossibilitie of passage to the region of rest and glory? |
A02531 | but of all traytors with a sonne? |
A02531 | how doth death alter more confirmed lines? |
A02531 | of all sonnes with an Absalom, the gracelesse dareling of so good a father; and all this for thy sake, whose crowne, whose bloud he hunts after? |

A02571 | Himselfe? |
A02571 | How art thou a perfect Sauiour, if our brethren also must bee our redeemers? |
A02571 | How cut off? |
A02571 | How far are our soules gone, that could not be ransomed with any easier price? |

A02571 | How then? |
A02571 | How too iustlie may I vsurpe of you that of Seneca: Pettie sacriledges are punished, while great ones ride in triumph? |
A02571 | How? |
A02571 | I call you not to a weake& idle pitty of our glorious Sauior: to what purpose? |
A02571 | If but a little land, how carefully doost thou make firme conueyances to thy desired heires? |
A02571 | If it were not, which was it? |
A02571 | If the ciuillie righteous shall not bee saued, where shall the notorious sinner appeare? |
A02571 | If there be any Iew amongst you, that like one of Iohns vnseasonable Disciples, shal aske, Art thou he, or shall we looke for another? |
A02571 | If thine heart can say thus, thou shalt not need to intreat with old Hilarion, Egredere me ● anima, egredere; quid ● i ● as? |
A02571 | If thou hadst no soule, if a mortall one, if thine owne, if neuer to bee required, hovv couldest thou liue but sensuallie? |
A02571 | Is Christ diuided? |
A02571 | Is this the entertainement, that so gracious a Sauiour hath deserued of vs by dying? |
A02571 | Is this the recompence of that infinite loue of his, that thou shouldest thus cruelly vexe and vvound him with thy sinnes? |
A02571 | Is thy heart wounded with thy sinne ▪ doth griefe and hatred striue within thee, whether shall bee more? |
A02571 | Lift vp? |
A02571 | Looke vp, O all yee beholders, looke vpon this precious body,& see what part ye can find free? |
A02571 | Lord, what can we see of thy sorrowes? |
A02571 | May I say they failed, when they exceeded? |
A02571 | Nay, shall hee sweat and bleed for vs, and shall not wee weepe for our selues? |

A02571 | O Death, where is thy sting? |
A02571 | O Graue, where is thy victorie? |
A02571 | O blessed exchange of our condition: while our soule dwells in our breast, how is it subiect to infinite miseries? |
A02571 | Oh how grieuous, how deadly are our sinnes, that cost the sonne of God( besides blood) so much tormēt? |
A02571 | Oh, beloued, is it not enough that he died once for vs? |
A02571 | On what acquaintance? |
A02571 | Paul chides this loue: What doe you weeping, and breaking my heart? |
A02571 | Search your selues( ye Citizens:) Now, you draw neere to God with your lips, with your eares, where is your heart? |
A02571 | Shall he thus lamentably shrieke- out, vnder his Fathers wrath, and shall not we tremble? |
A02571 | Shall the heauens and earth suffer with him,& we suffer nothing? |
A02571 | Still Altars? |

A02571 | The great Doctor of the Gentiles long ago said, All seeke their owne, and not the things of God; and is the world mended with age? |
A02571 | These two are the free- hold of a Christian; and what but they? |
A02571 | They read, they recited the Law,( some) twice a day; neuer went without some parts of it about them; But to what effect? |
A02571 | Tho thou shouldest euery day die a death for him, thou couldest neuer requite his one death: and doost thou sticke at one? |
A02571 | Thus the prophecies are finished: Of the legall Obseruations, with more breuity ▪ Christ is the end of the law: What law? |
A02571 | Thus they did vnbidden; how strictly did they perform what was enioined? |
A02571 | VVhat a word was heere, to come from the mouth of the Sonne of GOD? |
A02571 | VVhen our soule is once giuen vppe, vvhat euill shall reach vnto heauen, and wrestle with the Almightie? |

A45158 | 7. would hee not straight say: som belike I am allowed to lye? |
A45158 | A poore neighbour that is constrained out of neede? |
A45158 | And even amongst our selves, how apt we are to brand one another with this hatefull mark where there is no true merit of such a reproach? |
A45158 | And they called Rebecca, and said unto her, Wilt thou goe with this man? |
A45158 | And what can bee more contrary to the honour and obedience due to Parents, then to neglect them in the main business that concernes our lives? |

A45158 | It is fit for every honest man to seeme as he is; what do you howling amongst Wolves, if you be not one? |
A45158 | It is incestuous and unlawfull; what plea is there for continuance? |
A45158 | Now how can that marriage bee in the Lord, which is against him? |
A45158 | Or can we thinke that God will indure an union made by himself to be sleightly dissolved? |
A45158 | Or how is the Judge other than a partner in the injury, if for want of his seasonable interposition a good cause is lost, and a false plea prevailes? |

A45158 | Secondly, upon what termes doe you lend? |
A45158 | Shall we therefore say, Is is from the North? |
A45158 | Shortly; doe you enter into your armes, imprest, or voluntary? |

A45315 | We might well imagine that such a sprig must sprout out of the stock of faithful Abraham; what other loyns were likely to yield so holy an issue? |
A45315 | What a large and open hand hath our God? |
A45315 | What a madness it is in us to presume, on our interest in Gods favor, for the securing of our sinfulness from judgment? |
A45315 | What a madness then were it in me to come disguised into thy presence,& to seek to hide my counsels from thine al- seeing eyes? |
A45315 | What a shame to our dull neglect and graceless ingratitude? |
A45315 | What a woful conversion is here? |

A45315 | What fears, what flights, what hazards, what shifts are here to avoyd notice and punishment? |
A45315 | What fools doth the devil make of those men which would fain otherwise be accounted wise? |
A45315 | What goodly plants hast thou brought forth of the earth, in wilde, unknown regions, which no man ever beheld? |
A45315 | What great wits hast thou shut up in a willing obscurity, which the world never takes notice of? |

A45315 | What hold have I of my self more then these other miserable examples of humane frailtie? |
A45315 | What is all the world to us in comparison of the Bird in our bosome, our conscience? |
A45315 | What is it to tell of the suffossion of her vineyards? |
A45315 | What is this that I see? |
A45315 | What judgment more heavy then that of the sword? |
A45315 | What need I be troubled that I finde in my self a fear of Death? |

A45315 | What rich ornaments hath he laid up for him in his wardrobe of earth and waters? |
A45315 | What riddles are in that prophesie; which no humane tongue can aread? |
A45315 | What shall I do Lord? |
A45315 | What shall I do when I am old? |
A45315 | What should I speak of the moral distempers of diseases, the confluence whereof hath made this age more wickedly- miserable then all the former? |
A45315 | What wonder is it if natural men be transported with furious desires, when so eminent Domesticks, and followers of our Saviour were thus faulty? |
A45315 | What would it avail me, O Lord, to mock the eyes of all the world with a semblance of holiness, whilst thou shouldst see me false and filthy? |
A45315 | What, shall we think they were richer then their neighbors? |
A45315 | When our senses are tyed up, and our limbs laid to rest, what can we do, but yeeld our selves to a necessary repose? |

A45315 | Where are the multitudes of that heavenly host, which at thy birth, sung, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace? |
A45315 | Where are those Angels which ministred to thee after thy combat of temptations in the wilderness? |
A45315 | Where art thou, O my God? |
A45315 | Wherefore serves all the furniture of Heaven and Earth, but for his use? |
A45315 | Wherefore serves the excellent variety of Flowers, surpassing Solomon in all his glory, but to please his eie? |
A45315 | Whether, Lord, is it my wretchednesse to suffer my self to be rob''d of thee, for the time, by temptation? |
A45315 | Whither now, O whither do ye rove O my thoughts? |
A45315 | Whom shall we hope to finde free from cruelty of revenge, when even the Disciple of Love was thus over- taken? |
A45315 | Why are not my affections homeward? |
A45315 | Why do I clog my self in my way with the base and heavy lumber of the world? |
A45315 | Why do I intermeddle with the affaires of a nation that is not mine? |
A45315 | Why do I not long to see and enjoy my fathers house? |
A45315 | Why do I not look beyond death, at the eternally- blessed condition of this soul of mine; which in my dissolution is thus crowned with immortality? |
A45315 | With what elegance and force doth the holy Ghost express our Saviours leaving of the world; which he cals his taking home again; or his receiving up? |
A45315 | Yea, what Creature but he is capable to survey Gods wonders in the deep? |
A45315 | Yea, when God himself is justly stiled the possessor of Heaven, and Earth? |
A45315 | Yet, when did I bless thee for any of them? |
A45315 | and how can patience have its perfect work, where it is not? |
A45315 | and how could he be a theif in his office, if his bags were empty? |
A45315 | and shall therein alone bestow a blessed eternity? |
A45315 | and to be as insensible of the great works of God, as the ground that he treads upon? |
A45315 | and wherefore serves the various musick of Birds, but to please his ear? |
A45315 | and who is so fit a match for the great Adversary as this Champion of God? |
A45315 | and, as if he would have it sleighted for some forlorn out- cast, he charges us, not to make provision for the flesh: What? |
A45315 | breaking down Altars? |
A45315 | burning of Cities? |
A45315 | but that I have any helps of my wel- beeing here; or hopes and means of my being glorious hereafter, how far is it beyond the reach of my soul? |
A45315 | can they think themselves priviledged by the liberty of prophesying to coyn new articles, to deface old? |
A45315 | demolition of walls? |
A45315 | did the blessed man retire to some desart, far from all humane society, that he might enjoy this heavenly company alone? |
A45315 | for, when ever was there so much prophaneness, atheism, blasphemy, schism, excess, disobedience, oppression, licentiousness, as we now sigh under? |
A45315 | had not himself and his family been furnished with a meet stock raised from hence; what purse was it which Judas bore? |
A45315 | how can they yeeld any stay to you, that have no settlement in themselves? |
A45315 | how couldst thou more depress thy self, then thus to match thy self with us poor wretched creatures? |

A45315 | how infinitely doth his bounty transcend not the practise onely, but the admiration of man? |
A45315 | how little do these censurers know to pass a true judgment of wisdom and folly? |
A45315 | how teeming hath this barren womb of my heart been of false conceptions? |
A45315 | how variously am I construed by men? |
A45315 | my Saviour in an Agonie, and an Angel strengthening him? |
A45315 | or do I say of the messenger as David said of Ahimaaz; He is a good man, and brings good tidings? |
A45315 | or how can he wish to close up his eyes with any other object? |
A45315 | or if covetously minded, would sit down content with one dram of gold? |
A45315 | or is not this the condition of all those, of whom he can say in the next words, ye are Christs? |
A45315 | or one of the long robe, a Souldier? |
A45315 | shall we think the holy man was faln out with a part of himself? |
A45315 | since my heart can be sometimes in Heaven, why should it not be alwaies there? |
A45315 | spoyling of houses? |
A45315 | the devouring of her land? |
A45315 | thou bottomless abyss of misery to the wicked; thou indeterminable pitch of joy to the Saints of God; what soul is able to comprehend thee? |
A45315 | to contemplate the great fabrick of the Heavens? |
A45315 | vastation of her tents? |
A45315 | we must go out of our selves, into the God of our strength: If we have made him ours, who shall, yea, who can be against us? |
A45315 | were ever the Presses so cloyed with frivolous work? |
A45315 | were this the errand; why did not all that blessed Chore of celestial spirits joyn their forces together in so high an imployment? |
A45315 | what Israelite is not ready to run away at the sight of this Goliah? |
A45315 | what meer Ice is in these spiritual veins? |

A45315 | wiser then the whole Church of God that hath been upon earth ever since the Apostles of Christ inclusively, in all successions to this present time? |
A45214 | A difference? |
A45214 | A main question of faith is propounded to the Apostles and Elders of Hierusalem; but what? |
A45214 | Additions and Alterations? |
A45214 | Alas, brethren, what needed this to be a scruple in your thoughts, or your words, when it is in expresse termes granted by us? |
A45214 | And hath it so? |
A45214 | And if so, who were then Bishops? |
A45214 | And if the Lords Prayer be yeelded for an ordinary and stinted forme, why not others? |
A45214 | And what I beseech you is the worke of an Evangelist, but to preach the Evangell, or good tydings of peace? |
A45214 | And what say the Fathers at Carthage? |
A45214 | And what say the admired Areopagi, the grave Judges of Athens? |
A45214 | And what sayes Antichrist? |
A45214 | And why should not I speake of Martyrs, as the Authors and users of this holy Liturgie? |
A45214 | And why should that seeme harsh in us, which soundeth well in the mouthes of lesse- interessed Divines? |
A45214 | Are all our Bibles Prelaticall too? |
A45214 | As for their other testimony, it is lesse to the purpose; Who ever denied that some things are to be asked according to every mans occasion? |
A45214 | As if some monster suddenly presented it selfe to you, you aske, Was ever such a thing heard of in the best primitive times? |
A45214 | Brethren, what an injurious imputation is this? |
A45214 | Brethren, what means this, whether simplicity, or scorne? |
A45214 | But Ignatius was the Disciple of the Apostles, from whence then had he this Hierarchie but from the Apostles? |
A45214 | But how appears it? |
A45214 | But tell me brethren what can be your drift in this your tedious relatiō? |
A45214 | But what a poore exception is this? |
A45214 | But what, I beseech you, was this process of time? |
A45214 | But why more here( they say) then in other Reformed Churches? |
A45214 | But wil it hence follow that in the sense you contend for, they had a Setled Lay Presbytery? |
A45214 | Can one uniforme expression bee the originall act of many thousand braines, and tongues? |
A45214 | Can ye but blush at this envious and groundlesse suggestion? |
A45214 | Could yee imagine me to meane, that every place through the whole world hath had a continued Line of Bishops ever since the Apostles? |
A45214 | Did he not wish would to God they were cut off that trouble you? |
A45214 | Did the Apostle say, reject none but an Heretick? |
A45214 | Do they not care to lose their cause, so they may crosse an Adversary? |
A45214 | Do we not give you the title of Rectores Ecclesiarum? |
A45214 | Doe we abridge this liberty by ordaining a publique forme? |
A45214 | Doe we not in your institution commit to you regimen animarum? |
A45214 | Doe you exclude Bishops, Deans, Archdeacons,& c. from being members of the Church of England? |
A45214 | Doth any man claime this as essentiall to his Episcopacie? |
A45214 | Doth any man stand upon it, as a piece of his spirituall power? |
A45214 | Fie brethren, are ye Presbyters of the Church of England, and dare challenge Episcopacie of faction? |
A45214 | For Timothy, ye say the Text is cleare: but what Text, what the least intimation have you for Titus? |
A45214 | For shame brethren, did ever man make this an article of faith? |
A45214 | For shame, Brethren, eate this word; What? |
A45214 | HOw justly may I say, Readers, of these men as the King of Israel said of the King of Syria: See I beseech you, how they seeke a quarrell against me? |
A45214 | Had all those of Sardis a name to live, and were dead? |
A45214 | Had you spoken but such a word in the time of holy Cyprian, whom you frequently cite, as a patterne of good discipline, what had become of you? |
A45214 | Hath not Episcopall imparitie continued in them, all this while? |
A45214 | Have they a minde to goe beyond us in asserting that necessity, and essentiall use of Episcopacy, which we dare not avow? |
A45214 | Have you beene urged to subscribe to any other Ceremonies, than have been established by the Lawes of this Realme& Church? |
A45214 | Have you forgotten how by vertue of his Apostleshippe hee charges, Commands, Controllers, Censures? |
A45214 | Have you not seen M r Fr: Masons Vindication of our succession? |
A45214 | He therefore holds those, that are set over the people worthy of double honour; And why double? |
A45214 | Here are but four ranks of Dignities, and few in each; put if that inclusive,[& c.] reach far, yet what will you make of all this? |
A45214 | Herod the King stretched out his hands to vexe certaine of the Congregation: Was his malice onely Parochiall? |
A45214 | I acknowledge the words of Iohannes Major, I wish they had not been without, either before, or since; but what is this to my assertion? |
A45214 | I can tell the world that your selves oppose it; what of that? |
A45214 | If I find gold in the Channell, shall I throw it away because it was ill laid? |
A45214 | If he comply with them in good words, he Rhetoricates? |
A45214 | If he crosse them in plaine termes, he is false? |
A45214 | If it be evill, it is unlawfull to be used; If good, it is not unlawfull to be imposed: And were the imposition amisse, what is that to the people? |
A45214 | If it be not set, how is it an order? |
A45214 | If no body, whether hee that intimates it doth not falsifie and slander? |
A45214 | If not, how come ye to see them? |
A45214 | If the Devills confessed Christ the Son of God, shall I disclaime that truth, because it passed through a damned mouth? |
A45214 | Is it to ordaine others to that worked? |
A45214 | Is it to rule, to governe by admonition, and by other censures? |
A45214 | Is the whole Church all the world over Antichristian, even those, which are no lesse angry at Rome then your selves? |
A45214 | Is there any man that offers to undertake their patrocination? |
A45214 | Is there no distinction to be had betwixt the calling, and the abuse? |
A45214 | It is God that makes the Bishop, the King that gives the Bishoprick: what can you say to this? |
A45214 | Let them have beene as foule as ill will can make them; Let them have been in their times Devills incarnate; what is that to us? |
A45214 | Mary; if we may beleeve Damasus himselfe, after Marcellinus, for 7. years, 6. moneths, and 25. daies? |
A45214 | No diligence in preaching? |
A45214 | No holinesse in living? |
A45214 | Now what should a man doe with such sullen and crabbed pieces as these? |
A45214 | Or doe ye make no difference betwixt an intermission and an interruption? |
A45214 | Or how comes he elsewhere to name Bishops made by the Apostles, and to confesse that before his time there had been many successions? |
A45214 | Reasons moving me to this opinion? |
A45214 | So say we too; But when began the distinction? |
A45214 | Spiritus sanctus vos constituit Episcopos? |
A45214 | Stirre up the gift of God which is in thee by the imposition of my hands; mine, not others: I aske then, Was Timothy ordained more then once? |
A45214 | Such, as we stil are wo nt out of the ancient appellation, to style Aldermen? |
A45214 | Sure, brethren, you can not be so ignorant as you make your selves; Have you not seen M r Foxes Acts and Monuments? |
A45214 | Tell me, Is this Liturgie good or evill? |
A45214 | Tell me, brethren, Do ye like, or beleeve this assertion, because a Pope said it? |
A45214 | That the Apostle Paul laid his hands on Timothy? |
A45214 | The Elders I exhort who am also a fellow- Elder, feede the flock; How is hee a fellow- Elder, but because he is a teacher as they? |
A45214 | The Homilies are left free( they say) to be read or not, by preaching Ministers; why not then the Liturgie? |
A45214 | The Presbyters then chose their Bishops: who doubts it? |
A45214 | They tell me of one scruple yet remaining; It is well, if there be no more: And what may that be? |
A45214 | To answer you in your own kind: when, or where did our bishops challenge power to ordaine alone, to govern alone? |
A45214 | VVho can doubt that they had Magistrates and men in authority? |
A45214 | VVho can make question but that Carthage and Hippo, and other African Cities, had old and grave men in them? |
A45214 | Vpon this Rocke will I build my Congregation: was this a Parish onely? |
A45214 | Was it Episcopall power that enacted them? |
A45214 | Was their Church ere the more( according to your construction) governed by Pastors, Elders, Deacons? |
A45214 | Were all the Laodicean Ministers of one temper? |
A45214 | Were not the quarrels betwixt the Grecians and Hebrews for the maintenance of their widows, an evill occurrence? |
A45214 | What Baptisme? |
A45214 | What Christ? |
A45214 | What Eucharist? |
A45214 | What Heaven? |
A45214 | What Scripture? |
A45214 | What a poore shift is it to tell me of the contradiction that Episcopacie hath had since the Reformation? |
A45214 | What bounds? |
A45214 | What can be more thank- worthy, then to reclaime erring soules? |
A45214 | What can you say to this? |
A45214 | What distinction? |
A45214 | What have I professed concerning conceived prayers, but that which I ever allowed, ever practised, both in private, and publike? |
A45214 | What high points shall wee now expect trow wee? |
A45214 | What if Innovations in Religion be cryed out of, as not to be indured? |
A45214 | What if great Elogies and Apologies have been cast away upon it, by learned men, since that time? |
A45214 | What if that silly and ignorant Martyr, D r Taylor, could magnifie it to B. Gardner, and others, as complete? |
A45214 | What if the weak judgement of K. Iames, upon some pretended reasons, decreed all forbearance of any farther change? |
A45214 | What in the present Liturgie? |
A45214 | What is this to a prescribed forme? |
A45214 | What is this to the nature of the calling? |
A45214 | What is, if this bee not Ordination and Jurisdiction? |
A45214 | What means this wickedly false suggestion? |
A45214 | What new Creed? |
A45214 | What then is the difference? |
A45214 | What? |
A45214 | Whereas I say the government hath continued without any interruption, they aske jeeringly, What at Rome? |
A45214 | Whether Episcopacie be of Divine right? |
A45214 | Whether there bee any question at all in the fifth question? |
A45214 | Whether these answerers have the wit or grace to understand the true meaning of the Ius Divinum of Episcopacie? |
A45214 | Who can doubt that they did in all great occasions of the Church take the advise, and assistance of these prime men? |
A45214 | Who ever challenged( in that sense which you faine to your selves) a sole Jurisdiction? |
A45214 | Why do you object that to us, wherewith the Presbyterian part may be more justly choaked? |
A45214 | Why doe they not aske, how wee can prove that those Apostolicall Bishops had Notaries, Registers, Advocates, Consistories? |
A45214 | Why is it a greater fault in one of our Doctors to hold the Lords day to stand Iure bumano, then it was in Master Calvin? |
A45214 | Why will ye therefore bear your Readers in hand, that we herein rob you of your right? |
A45214 | Why will you with some show of learning confute that, which you yeeld us to confesse? |
A45214 | Ye need not learne it of Saravia, he himselfe tels you, When divisions began: And when that? |
A45214 | Yea, but can you tell us what kind of Flock it was, whether Nationall, or Provinciall, or Diocesan? |
A45214 | Yet to mend the matter, This( say they) was a forme of a mans owne prescribing: Were it so, wherein is that the better? |
A45214 | You adde, Election upon faith foreseene; What? |
A45214 | You object to your selfe the authority of some Fathers, that have called Timothy and Titus Bishops: Some? |
A45214 | You say peremptorily, it was not written from Nicopolis; neither was Paul then there: how appeares it? |
A45214 | You tel us What an unpreaching Bishop once said of a Preacher; I challeng you to shew any unpreaching Bishop in the Church of England this day? |
A45214 | You tell mee of some irreligious ones, that have as strongly upheld Satan and his Antichrist against the truth of GOD; What is this to the calling? |
A45214 | and if some one have passed an hyperbolicall praise of it, must it therefore be marred in mending? |
A45214 | and why should we be more tyed to their formes, then those of all other Christians, Grecians, Armenians, Cophs, Abassine, Arabian, Egyptian? |
A45214 | are there no Bishops but at Rome? |
A45214 | are these the onely remarkable works that your eyes could discover to fall from the hands of Bishops? |
A45214 | because Timothy and Titus( yee say) were Evangelists, and so moved in an higher sphere; Liberally and boldly spoken; but where is your proofe? |
A45214 | but that each of these famous Churches were under their own Star, or Angel; but those churches( you say) were not Diocesan: How doth that appeare? |
A45214 | by Praier and imposition of hands? |
A45214 | can not I tell you of some wicked and irreligious Presbyters, shall the function it selfe therefore suffer? |
A45214 | could I doubt whether these very men oppose it? |
A45214 | could you see no Colledges, no Hospitalls built? |
A45214 | doth the errour of every addle head? |
A45214 | if so, why can not we? |
A45214 | if the formes were meerly arbitrary, to what use was the prescription of an Order? |
A45214 | if they difference men, doe they difference Christians? |
A45214 | must it needs be so in plaine narrations, where it is limited by just Praedicates? |
A45214 | no Churches re- edified? |
A45214 | no care of the peace of the Church? |
A45214 | no disorders corrected? |
A45214 | no good offices done for the publique? |
A45214 | no great offenders punished? |
A45214 | no heresies confuted? |
A45214 | no hospitality kept? |
A45214 | no learned Volumes written? |
A45214 | no seduced persons reclaimed? |
A45214 | not in the essentiall points, but in some accidents, and outward formalities; Whose fault is that? |
A45214 | nothing but grosse untruths? |
A45214 | once surely S. Pauls hands were laid upon him, when therefore the Presbyters? |
A45214 | or because it is so in one phrase of speech, must it bee so in all? |
A45214 | or if they did, whether they could possibly be so absurd, as to raise so sensless and inconsequent inferences upon it? |
A45214 | or is it any advantage to you to make their memory yet more odious? |
A45214 | or the sight or posture of a Boord make a different Church? |
A45214 | otherwise, why doe you argue from the want of directions to them, as inferiours? |
A45214 | ours was before theirs; why did not they conforme to us; rather, then we come back to them? |
A45214 | say you; Whence then proceed so many ▪ Additions and Alterations, that have changed the face, and fabrick thereof? |
A45214 | shall wee thinke shee was wife to the whole company, or to one Bishop alone? |
A45214 | sleight you them as you please, we blesse God for such Patrons of our good cause: What a poore returne is this? |
A45214 | tell me, I beseech you brethren, are they visible, or are they not? |
A45214 | that they were composed by some particular men; Was it ever heard that a whole Church together framed a forme of prayer? |
A45214 | that thou maist ordain Elders in every City ▪ what kind of Elders? |
A45214 | to be decided by Lay- Men? |
A45214 | under some Bishop, though not under Timothy? |
A45214 | unlesse you mean to comprse all Preachers under this name? |
A45214 | what frivolous and delusory exceptions are these to all wise men; and how strangely savouring of a weak judgement, and strong malice? |
A45214 | where or what? |
A45214 | wherein? |
A45214 | which are ready to be censured rather for too great observance of Soveraignty? |
A45214 | who were those? |
A45214 | who will thinke you worthy to have any faith given you in the rest of your assertions? |
A45214 | why should not we glory in their name and Authority? |
A45214 | why should the calling,& others innocence suffer? |
A45324 | & all from no other ground then this, that they know not how to abound? |
A45324 | A world of sinners? |
A45324 | After others envy, the next attendant upon greatnesse is our own cares; how doe these disquiet the Beds, and sawce the Tables of the wealthy? |
A45324 | And as for outward dangers, what an happy immunity doth commonly blesse the poore man? |
A45324 | And now after this heavenly repast, how doe I feel my self? |
A45324 | And whom have wee seene more healthfull and active, then the children of poor men, trayned up hardly in their Cottages with fare as little, as course? |
A45324 | As for Beauty, what is it, but a dash of Natures tincture laid upon the skinne, which is soon washt off with a little sickness? |
A45324 | As for Honour, what a meer shadow it is? |
A45324 | As for that other passion of grief, what wofull work doth it make in ungoverned mindes? |
A45324 | Beef, as Phesant? |
A45324 | But if those Beauties could bee as permanent, as they are glorious, how vvould they carry away our hearts with them? |
A45324 | But, put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, saith the Apostle: Would I have medicine? |
A45324 | Can I finde my sins accessary to this thy death, and thy death meritoriously expiating all these my grievous sins, and not remember thee? |
A45324 | Can I hear thee freely offering thy self to me, and feel thee graciously conveighing thy self into my soul, and not remember thee? |
A45324 | Can I see thee thus crucified before my eies,& for my sake thus crucified, and not remember thee? |
A45324 | Christ is to me to live; I am the resurrection and the life: Would I have all spirituall things? |
A45324 | Do we suffer? |
A45324 | Doe we not see some vain churl, though cryed down by the multitude, herein secretly applauding himself, that he hath bags at home? |
A45324 | Doest thou bid me, O Saviour, doe this in remembrance of thee? |
A45324 | Doth God call for his ear? |
A45324 | For first, vvhat an advantage is it, to be free from those gnawing cares, which( like Tityus his Vulture) feed upon the Heart of the Great? |
A45324 | Have I a minde to some one curious dish above the rest? |
A45324 | He is the Tree of life, the leaves whereof are for the healing of the Nations: Would I have safety and protection? |
A45324 | He whose wee are, knows sicknesse to bee for the health of the soul; whether should we in true judgement desire? |
A45324 | How can I enough celebrate thee for this thy unspeakable mercy? |
A45324 | How can I fail of all contentment? |
A45324 | How can I without a Guide? |
A45324 | How can he be over- affected with triviall profits, or pleasures, who is taken up with the God of all comfort? |
A45324 | How can he complain of thirst, out of whose belly flow rivers of living water? |
A45324 | How can he complain to want light, that dwels in the midst of the Sun? |
A45324 | How can he forbeare to take away from us his sleighted mercies? |
A45324 | How can he hold his hand from plaguing so ingratefull disrespects of his favours? |
A45324 | How displeasedly doth the begger look upon the larger almes of his neighbour? |
A45324 | How fair is thy love, my sister, my Spouse? |
A45324 | How is his passion lively acted before mine eyes? |
A45324 | How is my Saviour by all my senses here brought home to my soul? |
A45324 | How many have shut their eyes in an healthfull sleep, who have waked in another vvorld? |
A45324 | How many have we known, that have found too much flesh a burden? |
A45324 | How many have we knowne, that out of thought for unrecoverable losses, have lost themselves? |
A45324 | How many worthy inhabitants make choice to fixe their abode within these wals, as not knowing where to be happier? |
A45324 | How much more scope have we then they? |
A45324 | How shall they beleeve except they hear? |
A45324 | How soon would it cleare up above head, if we were but holily affected within? |
A45324 | How unworthy shall I be, if I doe not strive to answer this love of my God and Saviour, in all hearty affection, and in all holy obedience? |
A45324 | How witless a thing it is for a man to torment himself with the thoughts of those evils, that are past all remedy? |
A45324 | I am the way, and the truth: Would I have life? |
A45324 | I hear many a parent wish himself so: Am I banished from my home? |
A45324 | I will put my knife to my throat, and not humour my palate so far as to taste of it: Doe I receive a Letter of newes from a far Countrey, over night? |
A45324 | I, that now complain of the load of seventy one yeers, how should I be tyred out, ere I could arrive at the age of Parre? |
A45324 | IS it solitude and infrequence of visitation? |
A45324 | If Death doe not snatch us away from them, how many thousand means of casualties, of enemies, may snatch them away from us? |
A45324 | If it were better, I should be worse; more proud, more carelesse; and what a wofull improvement were this? |
A45324 | If the clay had sense, what a mad thing were it for it to struggle with the Potter? |
A45324 | If thou wilt be extream to mark what is done amisse, O Lord who may abide it? |
A45324 | If we murmure at what we wish? |
A45324 | Impotent, wretched creatures, that had despighted thee, that had no motive for thy favour but deformity, misery, professed enmity? |
A45324 | In the failing whereof, how is the Conscience affected? |
A45324 | Indeed, what can we cast our eyes upon, that doth not put us in minde of our frailty? |
A45324 | Is Christ mine therefore? |
A45324 | Is he invited to Gods feast? |
A45324 | Is it an allotment to the same room without change, without remove? |
A45324 | Is it in a desire to approve my self to my God, in the conscience of my humble obedience to his command, and my holy attendance upon his Ordinance? |
A45324 | Is it not rather thy bloud of the New testament, that is poured out for me? |
A45324 | Is it to please others eyes, or to avoid their censures? |
A45324 | Is it to satisfie my own curiosity in hearing what the Preacher will say? |
A45324 | Is it to satisfie the law, that requires my presence? |
A45324 | Is it to see, or to be seen? |
A45324 | Is the heart heavy with the grievous pressures of affliction? |
A45324 | It shall keep my pillow warme till the morning: Doe my importunate recreations cal me away? |
A45324 | It was the answer wherewith that admirable pattern of patience stopped the querulous mouth of his tempting wife; What? |
A45324 | Lord thou knowest the thoughts of man that they are but vain; O God, why abhorrest thou my soul, and hidest thy face from me? |
A45324 | Lord, what is man that thou art mindful of him? |
A45324 | Lord, where are thy old loving mercies? |
A45324 | My flesh is meat indeed; and my bloud is drink indeed: Would I have clothing? |
A45324 | Now, if we have made the Judge our friend, what can the Sergeant doe? |
A45324 | Now, vvho vvould suffer himself to be too much disquieted vvith the losse of that, vvhich may vex him, but can not content him? |
A45324 | O Grave, where is thy Victory? |
A45324 | Oh poor impotent Jews, how far was that divine soul above the reach of your malice? |
A45324 | Oh, how can I forget thee? |
A45324 | Or like the Ostrich, to be so held down with an heavie body that we can have no use of our wings? |
A45324 | Or when should we goe to seek the face of our God, rather, then in the needfull time of trouble? |
A45324 | Perhaps therefore you are mistaken in my condition; for what is it I beseech you that makes a prisoner? |
A45324 | The difficulty of doing well is the third; for how averse are we by this conjunction from any thing that is good? |
A45324 | The fourth is the power, and efficacy of Christs death applyed to the soul: Wherefore dyed he, but that we might live? |
A45324 | There is more intended to us then our smart: It was a good speech of Seneca, though an Heathen,( what pity it is that he was so?) |
A45324 | V. IS it the reproach& ignominy that commonly attends the very name of an imprisonment? |
A45324 | WHat can be more seasonable, then when all the world is sick of Discontentment, to give counsels and Receits of Contentation? |

A45324 | What are the foot of the soul, but our affections? |
A45324 | What are these outward things, but very luggage, which may load our backs, but can not lighten our hearts? |
A45324 | What are we the better if we hear and remember not? |
A45324 | What blind light looks in here at these scant loopeholes of my soul? |
A45324 | What but our prison wals can hinder us here, from a free prospect? |
A45324 | What but these wals of flesh can hinder me from a clear vision of God? |
A45324 | What can I wish, that my Christ is not to me? |

A45324 | What intention of holy thoughts, what fervour of spirit, what depth of Devotion must we now finde in our selves? |
A45324 | What is that still to a minde that is free? |
A45324 | What is this, but Tortoise- like to be clogg''d with a weighty shell, which we can not drag after us, but with pain? |
A45324 | What maceration is there here with fears, and jealousies; what cruell extortion, and oppression exercised upon others? |
A45324 | What service can our eyes do us in the ways of God without our thoughts? |
A45324 | What the better if we remember, but think not seriously of what we hear; or if we practice not carefully what wee think of? |
A45324 | Wherefore would he, who is the Lord of life, die, but to sanctifie, season, and sweeten death to us? |
A45324 | Who is God but the Lord, and who hath any strength except our God? |
A45324 | Who is the Lord? |
A45324 | Who now can complain of want, when he hears his Lord, and Saviour but thus provided for? |
A45324 | Who would goe any other way then his Saviour went before him? |
A45324 | Who would not have been angry with that cholerick Prophet to hear him so furiously contest with his Maker for a withered Gourd? |
A45324 | Why more then those Anachorites whom we have seen willingly coop''d up for merit? |
A45324 | Why more then those great persons which keep up for state; or Dames for beauty? |
A45324 | Why should it? |
A45324 | Why should not I have so much power over my will as to make that voluntary in me, to undergo, which another wils forcibly to inflict? |
A45324 | Would I have meat and drink? |
A45324 | Yea, how many, that out of an impatience to stay the leisure of vengeance, have made their own hands, their hasty executioners? |
A45324 | Yea, what darknesse of ignorance rather possesses me? |
A45324 | and doe I rove over all the latitude of Nature for contentment? |
A45324 | and either carry our souls up to him, or bring him down to us? |
A45324 | and for their happy and speedy deliverance out of their wofull captivity? |
A45324 | and if a man wil spurn against strong Iron- pikes, what can he hope to carry away but wounds? |
A45324 | and looks angerly at the least crosses; as if he said, Why thus much? |
A45324 | and what is the world, but my prison in the other kinde? |
A45324 | and when more then now? |
A45324 | and when they have found their blood too rank, have been glad to pay for the letting it out? |
A45324 | for what other terms doe I find here? |
A45324 | how am I fed here with the bread of afdiction? |
A45324 | how am I watched and beset with evill spirits? |
A45324 | how can he fear to fall, that lies flat upon the ground? |

A45324 | to be in the case of Surena the Parthian Lord, that could never remove his family with lesse then a thousand Camels? |

A02548 | Can this call downe the authoritie of his iudgement and Writings? |
A02548 | Canst thou thinke I haue met with a sober Aduersarie? |
A02548 | Could the man but haue patience, he should finde aboue three hundred: What sayes my Detector to this? |
A02548 | Cur coniugem spernis, cur obturatis auribus Pauli praecepta non audis? |
A02548 | Demonstratiuely concluded: As if a man should say, C. E. doth speake some wise words, how can he at any time write thus foolishly? |
A02548 | Deus an homo? |
A02548 | Did I tye my selfe in this clause onely to Gratian? |
A02548 | Did hee and his Fellowes neuer heare of a coniugall Chastity? |
A02548 | Did not the accidents of the holyest Child- bed carry in them an expiable impuritie? |
A02548 | Did not the lawfull act of Coniugall Beneuolence? |
A02548 | Did not their owne t select Cardinals complaine, that the most of their Nunneries were iustly scandalized with sacrilegious incontinencies? |
A02548 | Did wee deuise the Storie of Petronilla? |
A02548 | Did wee inuent the passage of her Sutor Flaccus; Of her Feuer, the cure whereof her father denyed? |
A02548 | Doe not their owne Records flye in their faces? |
A02548 | Doth he find the Church of England to maintaine Stewes? |
A02548 | Doth he not knew that it is( if not torne) yet left out in diuers of their Editions of the Councels? |
A02548 | Doth he not speake plainly of Virgins deuoted to Christ? |
A02548 | Doth not Isidore Bishop of Hispalis so? |
A02548 | Doth not Leo the Ninth so? |
A02548 | Doth not his Pope Gelasius so? |
A02548 | Doth not his g Medina grant to their shame, that the Latine Church scarce obserues six, or eight of them? |
A02548 | Etiam Asinus meus recalcitrat? |
A02548 | Faelix the Third, sonne to Bishop Valerius? |
A02548 | First, where finds hee this Law, that no man may alledge one testimonie of a Father, or a Councell, but he must be tyed to iustifie all the rest? |
A02548 | For Iouinian, what is he to vs? |
A02548 | For doth Cyprian at all varie the persons of whom hee speakes? |
A02548 | God neuer imposed this Law of continencie; Who then? |
A02548 | He that denyes this, let him deny that there is a Sunne in the heauen, or light in that Sunne; what need I say more? |
A02548 | Hee hath cast off Ignatius alreadie, anon you shal find him reiecting Socrates, Sozomen, Nicephorus, Gratian, Sigebert, H. Huntingdon, and whom not? |
A02548 | Hee makes choice of Archbishop Panormitan for one of his Cardinals: What offence is here? |
A02548 | Here is no command then( saith he) but a permission; How much are wee bound to him for this fauour? |
A02548 | Hereafter hee shall receiue answere enough; What needes this disorderly anticipation? |
A02548 | Herein, how am I refuted? |
A02548 | How Alfere and the Nobles dispossessed the Monkes of Dunstan; iustly restoring the marryed Priests to their ancient right? |
A02548 | How can we looke to escape their Opposition, when they dare thus contradict their Sauiour? |
A02548 | How cleere is that of their owne h Law? |
A02548 | How fayne would this man crow, if he could but get the colour of an aduantage? |
A02548 | How insolent is Tradition, thus to trample vpon Scripture? |
A02548 | How much wiser is hee growne in the processe of his discourse, where hee graunts our Marriage, and denies our Clergie? |
A02548 | How plaine is that of the e Saxon Chronicle? |
A02548 | How well doth it become lips drencht in the Cup of those Fornications; to vtter blasphemous Slanders( Spumam CERBERI) against Innocence? |
A02548 | How well doth it become the sonne of that Babylonian Strumpet, to call the Spouse of Christ Harlot? |
A02548 | How well is that man, that is matcht but with an honest Aduersary? |
A02548 | I Would faine know who it was that first ordayned, that Christian Priests might not marry, GOD, or Man? |
A02548 | I alleaged the learned Cardinall Caietan for the likelihood of S. Pauls Marriage; Can my Refuter denie this? |
A02548 | If I say our Clergie is heartily loyall to their King; will hee straight take it, of theirs? |
A02548 | If all my Proofes be fore- alledged and fore- answered by his Bellarmine; to what purpose hath this Trifler blurred so much Paper? |
A02548 | If all my errours be at the mouth of the Presse, how is it that two or three of them are thus suffered to out- runne their fellowes? |
A02548 | If there were differences in relating the circumstances of that storie( as, I know none) must it needs thereupon bee false? |
A02548 | If to marry, were to waxe wanton against Christ, why would the Apostle haue aduised it them? |
A02548 | If we honor the man, must wee hold his pen impeccable? |
A02548 | If, that our Clergie is willingly subiect to more then the directiue Power of their Soueraigne, will he challenge this to theirs? |
A02548 | In a word, what were all those whom his Damasus recounteth? |
A02548 | In all this what sayes hee? |
A02548 | In the meane while, how well doth the title of a Detector become him that hides himselfe? |
A02548 | In the time of their painefull Euangelicall peregrination they forbore perhaps: doth it therefore follow that they did alwayes forget to bee Husbands? |
A02548 | In this where should they finde an aduersary? |
A02548 | Indeed whom doth the aspersion of that foule hand forbeare? |
A02548 | Is he so ignorant as not to know that all his great t Masters discard this whole Councell as spurious? |
A02548 | Is it not enough that wee shew they had wiues, that they had children? |
A02548 | Is it simplicitie that he knowes not this title of Isidore? |
A02548 | Is not this a Logicall and faithfull refutation? |
A02548 | Is not this sufficient to win respect from a Catholique Priest? |
A02548 | Is that of Saint Ignatius nothing against him? |
A02548 | Is this nothing done by his Leo; the Leo rugiens of that time? |
A02548 | It followes then: If Master HALL could for so long together liue a chaste life, why no more? |
A02548 | Lastly, Who can but wonder at the face of our Aduersaries, that dare bring forth so playne a witnesse against themselues? |
A02548 | Let him tell mee what was that Epistle which Leo the Ninth wrote to Peter the Hermite? |
A02548 | My wise Refuter, after hee hath idlely gone about the bush a little, comes out with this dry verdict, What will Master HALL hence infer? |
A02548 | NOt to follow therefore this babbling vagary of my Aduersary against Zuinglius, Luther, Musculus, Whitakers,( what Puppy can not bark at a dead Lion?) |
A02548 | NOw vnhappie is this man that still shoots his Arrowes quite besides the Butt? |
A02548 | Nam in totum quae sunt humani iuris, quemadmodum in morbis remedia,& c. Inter bos quanta raritas corum qui castè viuunt? |
A02548 | Natalis, l Beda, Vssuardus, Sygebertus, Platina? |
A02548 | No more was required, no lesse is yeelded; whereto is all this iangling? |
A02548 | Not his opinion; How can wee be said to admit marriage to an equall share of merit with virginitie, when wee deny merit in eyther? |
A02548 | Not to put my Detector in mind how honourably he now speakes of marriage, how dares he talke of our fleshlinesse, and their chastitie? |
A02548 | Nothing can bee more base then to beg the Question; What doe we dispute, but whether any Vow were made? |
A02548 | Or as if it were any newes with Popes rescindere acta praedecessorum; euen of those which immediately preceded them? |
A02548 | Or could the act of a purposed Virgin onely, shame Virgins professed? |
A02548 | Or if of Augustine, with the errour of the necessitie of Infants communicating? |
A02548 | Or what other sense can bee put vpon the words of the Apostle? |
A02548 | Or wherein hath our Authour offended vs? |
A02548 | Or, in a word, if they bee the true issue of the Apostles, are they accordingly respected, and obserued of the Roman Church? |
A02548 | Paris? |
A02548 | Perhaps the Time had bin as well spent in tossing of his Beades: How happie a man am I that shall see all my ouersights? |
A02548 | Permission? |
A02548 | Pope Adrian the Second, sonne to Bishop Taralus? |
A02548 | Prudent; But, to grant him his owne Phrase; Can my Detector descry no difference betwixt Chaste and Single? |
A02548 | Quid ad Rhombum? |
A02548 | Quid mihi ostendis,& c? |
A02548 | Quo quod peruersius potest fieri? |
A02548 | Quot enim& digamipraesident apud vos, insultantes vtique Apostolo,& c? |
A02548 | Reader, Is my Detector awake? |
A02548 | Reader, if one of his euill spirits should haue stept into Peters chaire, doe yee thinke hee could haue wanted Proctors? |
A02548 | Reader, vouchsafe yet once more to cast thine eye vpon the close of my Epistle; Doth my argument run thus wildly as hee makes it? |
A02548 | Risum teneatis? |
A02548 | Secondly, my parenthesis displeases him( As now, a dayes) But what needes this quarrell? |
A02548 | Sixtly, The Husband and Wife are separated vpon discord, or disease: What shall they doe? |
A02548 | So as I still conclude, He that made marriage, saith it is honorable, what care we for the dishonor of those that corrupt it? |
A02548 | So as now all the strength of this necessary Celibate is resolued into the power of a Church- Statute; and of what Church, but the Roman? |
A02548 | Still where is the man that cryes out of reiecting authorities in other cases allowed? |
A02548 | That Bishops and Priests may lawfully marrie? |
A02548 | That he taught men to decline the blessing and communion of married Priests? |
A02548 | That single life is a Doctrine? |
A02548 | The Apostle brands them here: But what? |
A02548 | The English Clergie had bickerings with their DVNSTANS, therefore continencie was repiningly and vniustly imposed? |
A02548 | The Epistle, in spight of Contradiction, is so ancient; and what c ● wee then for names? |
A02548 | The Wife of a Vrbicus comes to his doore, and alledges S. Pauls charge;( Meet together againe, lest Satan tempt you,& c.) Cur coniugem spernis,& c? |
A02548 | Them onely? |
A02548 | There are none of his wise friends which will not bee ashamed of this grosse stupiditie; For whether of these two Sentences can he dislike? |
A02548 | To begin with the first: The succession of Linus, and Cletus, and Clemens, is diuersly reported; is there no truth in it? |
A02548 | To what Vertue doe not the Fathers exhort? |
A02548 | Vessels or Garments make a man legally vncleane? |
A02548 | Vilium est hominum alios viles facere? |
A02548 | Was euer man so mad, to make himselfe pastime with his owne shame? |
A02548 | Was his malice so bigge with these, that it could not stay the time of the common deliuerie? |
A02548 | Was it not his Councell of r Toledo? |
A02548 | Was it not his ſ Saint Dunstan and Oswald? |
A02548 | Was it of any other then professed Virgins? |
A02548 | Was not Pope Iohn the Eleuenth, or, in some accounts, the Tenth, sonne to Pope Sergius? |
A02548 | Was not Theodorus Pope, sonne to Theodorus Bishop of Ierusalem? |
A02548 | Was the Historie of that their monstrous Papesse of our making? |
A02548 | Were they not marryed Priests? |

A02548 | What contradiction now can his acutenesse detect in these two? |
A02548 | What could Luther or Caluin write more directly? |
A02548 | What could be said more? |
A02548 | What did hee other in this, then the holy Fathers haue aduised him, yea then hee learned in their owne Schoole? |
A02548 | What did the eiected Clergie plead but ancient possession? |
A02548 | What did they? |
A02548 | What doth this imply, but that in those ancient Times the English Clergie were inoffensiuely married? |
A02548 | What haue I offended in seconding Saint Cyprian? |
A02548 | What haue I to doe with his quarrels about Hosius, Faelix, Agapetus, Steuen? |
A02548 | What haue we to doe with Votaries? |
A02548 | What ignorance( saith hee) is this, wherewith many men are tainted, about these Canons? |

A02548 | What is it to me, if the Romish Clergie may not be Husbands? |
A02548 | What is this other then I said? |
A02548 | What is this, Reader, but willingly to try his oares against the streame of Truth? |
A02548 | What need I giue more then that of Galfride B. of Ely, who was auouched before the Pope himself to haue maried a wife? |
A02548 | What neede wee more? |
A02548 | What needed hee therefore to vpbraid vs with that frumpe of ERASMVS( Que malùm est ista tanta salacitas,& c?) |
A02548 | What of this? |
A02548 | What one word can hee controll in the Relation of r Socrates, or mine Illation? |

A02548 | What will not hee dare to say, that will obiect inconstancie to him who sealed Gods Truth with his bloud? |
A02548 | What? |
A02548 | When- as both their Sigebert, and Hermannus Contractus,( and who not?) |
A02548 | Whence, in all likelihood, had S. Peter his Petronella? |
A02548 | Where did I euer say so? |

A02548 | Why not alwayes? |
A02548 | Why not alwayes? |
A02548 | Why of dislike? |
A02548 | Will his Holinesse dispense with vs for our sinne? |
A02548 | Would this man( thinke we) care to belye all the Saints in Heauen for an aduantage? |
A02548 | Yea, but to prouide an Husband or a Wife, is not a worke of an houres warning; in the meane time what shall they doe? |
A02548 | Yea, how merrie doth my Refuter make himselfe with his despised Gratian? |
A02548 | and amongst them how few are there that liue chastly? |

A45113 | And canst thou now grudge his just challenge of his own? |
A45113 | And for our bodily grievances, what varieties do we here meet withal? |
A45113 | And if we look upon him thus changed, thus reconciled, how can we chuse but bid him welcome? |
A45113 | And lastly, what a strong Cordial is this to all good hearts, that all those which die well, do sleep in Jesus? |
A45113 | And shall we Christians repine at those seemingly harsh events, which we see fall out in Gods Church, whiles we are ignorant of his designes? |
A45113 | And upon whom doth this charge lie, but upon the Parent? |
A45113 | And what a comfort it is, that the same Jesus who arose, shall both come again, and bring all his with him in glory? |
A45113 | And what a triumph is this over death, that the same Jesus who died, rose again? |
A45113 | And who are these whom thou art so sorry to forgo? |
A45113 | And wilt thou not allow the great Benefactor of heaven to dispense his own favours as he pleaseth? |
A45113 | Are not thine inward senses the more quick? |

A45113 | As these were not goods, so they were not thine: Here thou foundst them, and here thou leavest them: What hadst thou but their use? |
A45113 | Besides, art thou a Christian? |
A45113 | But hast thou not cares to boot? |
A45113 | But hath he not given thee an abundant supply in other faculties? |
A45113 | But let mee tell thee, I feare thou art too much accessary to thine owne affliction: Didst thou look for this losse? |
A45113 | But the while, is not thine hand in them? |
A45113 | But, tell me, notwithstanding, art thou truly serious with thy God? |
A45113 | Can I hear any more the voice of singing men, and singing women? |
A45113 | Can this seem strange to thee, when thou seest the Son of God in the Wilderness fourty days and fourty nights under the hand of the Tempter? |
A45113 | Can thy servant taste what I eat, or what I drink? |
A45113 | Canst thou deny that our sins have reacht up to heaven, and called for judgement? |
A45113 | Canst thou deny that thou hast a true, though but weak appetite to the means, and further degrees of grace? |
A45113 | Canst thou fear he will condemn thee for those sins which he hath given his blood to expiate? |

A45113 | Canst thou not read Gods gracious indulgence in thine own disposition? |
A45113 | Canst thou think him lesse merciful then mighty? |
A45113 | Consideration that they are not ours, but lent us Thou hast lost thy goods: May I not rather say, Thou hast restored them? |

A45313 | or, as to breake open the gates of hell, and rush violently into the pit of destruction, which God had latched against him? |
A45313 | presumptuous, unpardonable; With what face canst thou look up to heaven and expect remission from a just God? |
A45313 | q Had not he glory with the Father before the world was? |
A45313 | raising to it selfe such notions, as wherein the body can challenge no interest? |
A45313 | shal I put on thy forme, and transfigure my selfe into an Angell of light? |
A45313 | shall I fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickednesse? |
A45313 | shall I to gratifie a friend, make God mine enemy? |
A45313 | shall I to rescue a friend from danger, bring destruction upon my selfe? |
A45313 | shall I under pretence of long prayers devoure widowes houses? |
A45313 | shall not the all- seeing eye of the righteous God find me out in my damnable simulation? |
A45313 | shall the all- wise and righteous Arbiter of the world decree, and reverse? |
A45313 | so deep a contrition of soule? |
A45313 | so fervent zeale of obedience? |
A45313 | so hearty a detestation of sin? |
A45313 | so reall experience of temptation? |
A45313 | so sweet a sense of mercy? |
A45313 | so thankfull a recognition of deliverance? |
A45313 | such awe of offending? |
A45313 | such it should be, if it were presumption; Were it presumption, would''st thou oppose it? |
A45313 | such tendernesse of heart? |
A45313 | that he wil repent him of such mercies? |

A45313 | was it not from hence that both he, and we in him, were adjudged to death? |
A45313 | was it not from hence that man was driven out of Paradise? |
A45313 | what advantage can be so great as the conscience of truth, and fidelity? |
A45313 | what height have I? |
A45313 | what is it whereto the manifestation of all hidden truthes, and the accomplishment of all Gods gracious promises are referred? |
A45313 | what liberall promises hath he made of provision for those that wait upon him; yet how many of them have miserably perished in want? |
A45313 | what menaces, what afflictions, what judgments hath he not made use of, for the prevention of our damnation? |
A45313 | what proofes can we have of anger but the effects of displeasure? |
A45313 | when thou wouldst draw me on to my sins; then, how small, sleight, harmlesse, plausible they were? |
A45313 | where did the holy God infuse such vertue into any creature? |
A45313 | where should this sin lurk, that he should not espy it? |
A45313 | why should they not be equally guilty? |
A45313 | works so transcending the possibility of nature, that they could not be wrought by any lesse then the God of nature? |

A02522 | 2? |
A02522 | 38. why do we think much to drinke of an Euangelists cuppe? |
A02522 | 40.? |
A02522 | 5. why should we not if we so esteemed it? |
A02522 | 9? |
A02522 | Actiuely to you, or passiuely from you? |
A02522 | Aduanced aboue al that is called God? |
A02522 | Alas miserable countrimen, whither runne you? |
A02522 | Alas, who are you that you should oppose al Churches& times? |
A02522 | All the learned Diuines of other Churches are in these left, yea in the most of them censured by you: Hath God spoken these things to you alone? |
A02522 | All these will be auowed in spight of all contradiction: with what forehead then can you say; the whole Church of England hath not at all separated? |
A02522 | Am I only a stranger in Hierusalem? |
A02522 | An tu solus Ecclesia es? |
A02522 | And being made as it is, a part of Gods worship, and of the Ministers office, what is it if it be not a sacrament? |
A02522 | And if the fathers sower Grapes can not hurt the childrens teeth, how much lesse shall the neighbours? |
A02522 | And now what is all this to infallibilitie? |
A02522 | And since such was their face, who dares iudge of their hearts? |
A02522 | And were we then yours? |
A02522 | And where, say I, learned you your deuout kneeling to or before the bread, but from that error of Transubstantiatiō? |
A02522 | And why may not euen constraint it selfe haue place in the lawfull constitution or reformation of a Church? |
A02522 | Are not those people called together? |
A02522 | Are these your patternes? |
A02522 | As we hope or desire to be saued, we can find no sentence that soundeth toward the fauour of this your act: Must God be accused of your wilfulnesse? |
A02522 | BVT what bonds were these straight ones? |
A02522 | BVT who can wonder at your vnnaturalnesse to the Church, that heares what measure you mete to your owne? |
A02522 | BVt besides that we ought to haue had somewhat which we want, we haue some what which wee should haue wanted: Some? |
A02522 | BVt tell vs then, what should haue beene done? |
A02522 | Because you are not suffered to inioy them: who hinders it? |
A02522 | Behold a newe crime: That they suffer themselues to be driuen out: VVhat should they haue done? |
A02522 | Behold here, the Church of England gaue you but an Antichristian estate; if God giue secret mercy, what is that to her? |
A02522 | Both annuall and perpetual they can not be: VVhat is( if not this) a wrong in Constitution? |
A02522 | But for all men, and all times? |
A02522 | But hath not God giuen inward grace, by our outward Ministery? |
A02522 | But if there were not something more then iust reuerence, why do we solemnely kneel at the Communion not at Baptisme? |
A02522 | But in how many volumes hath this point beene fully discussed? |
A02522 | But might not God be purely and perfectly worshipped without it? |
A02522 | But should you haue continued still in sinne that grace might haue abounded? |
A02522 | But these decrees are absolute, what lawes can be without a commaund? |
A02522 | But this yet exceedes: Not onely all persons, but all thinges? |
A02522 | But what is the Element: the Ring; These things agree not; you had before made the two parties to be the matter of this Sacrament? |
A02522 | But what meane you to charge our Churches with carued and painted Images? |
A02522 | But what necessity is this? |
A02522 | But what thē? |
A02522 | But wherein stands this our creation? |
A02522 | But whiles we striue; who shall be our Iudge? |
A02522 | But whither will you runne from this communion of the prophane? |
A02522 | But whose is that so vnsauorie weede; No Bishoppe, no King? |
A02522 | But why is our Prelacy hatefull? |
A02522 | But why separate you from these? |
A02522 | But why then did I write? |
A02522 | But, of thinges reputed indifferent? |
A02522 | By what Lawe must wee write, nothing but large Scholasticall Discourses? |
A02522 | By whose hand hath he published her diuorce? |
A02522 | CAn you thinke this hangs well together? |
A02522 | Call you our Doctrines some generall truthes? |
A02522 | Can there be no Church, no Christians without them? |
A02522 | Can we be worse then they? |
A02522 | Can you find no difference? |
A02522 | Can your charity finde nothing but rubbish? |
A02522 | Can your heart suffer your tong to say, that there is no more diffrence betwixt Rome and vs, then there is betwixt vs and you? |
A02522 | Christianity came in the roome of Iudaisme, was it therefore deriued from it? |
A02522 | Consider, and conferre seriously: VVhat faith is it, that is thus necessarily required to each member in this Constitution? |
A02522 | Could it escape all the holy Prophets, Apostles, Doctors of the old, middle, and later world, and light onely vpon these your three Patriarchs? |
A02522 | Could you say worse of vs? |
A02522 | De cauernis cellularum damnamus orbem; in sacco& cinere volutati de Episcopis sententiam ferimus: Quid facit sub tunica paenitentis regius animus? |
A02522 | Did euer any of our Prelates challenge all the world as his Diocesse? |
A02522 | Did not Manisses after his comming home to God, charge and commaund 〈 ◊ 〉 to serue the Lord God of Israel? |
A02522 | Did they then, in that confused allowance of the Gospel, separate? |
A02522 | Doctor, whom I beseech you should we follow, but God in his own seruices? |
A02522 | Doe but stay till God haue separated vs from himselfe: will the wise husbandman cast away his Corne- heape for the chaffe and dust? |
A02522 | Doe we preferre duetie to piety, and so plead for our holy mother Church, that we neglect our heauenly Father, yea offend him? |
A02522 | Doe wee either denie, or vtterly forbeare this censure? |
A02522 | Doth God separate from the faithfull soule, because it hath some corruptions, her Inmates, though not her commaunders? |
A02522 | Doth he not from that sweet coniunction, and the effects of it: argue the deere respects that should bee in marriage? |
A02522 | Doth he not make Christ the husband, the Church his spouse? |
A02522 | Doth his grace couer them, and do you display them? |
A02522 | Doubtlesse they were: Who can deny it? |
A02522 | Either is disobedience no sinne, or might you do this euil that good may come of it? |
A02522 | Externall light was Gods first creature, and shall this spirituall light, whereby all Churches should be discerned come thus late? |
A02522 | For faith first: VVho are you, that dare thus boldy breake into the Closets of God, the hearts of men? |
A02522 | For none( I hope) but our owne, And why not for them? |
A02522 | God forbidde: This were high Treason against Gods annointed: what then? |
A02522 | Grant we should be cleane separated from the world, yet if we be not, must you be separated from vs? |
A02522 | HOw did confirmation escape this number? |
A02522 | Ha ● ● we not a people? |
A02522 | Hath he not laboured with you, the Elders and the Church, to bring you to peace? |
A02522 | Hath hee not vsed the helpe and counsell of the Reformed Churches herein? |
A02522 | Hath their double honour made voide their callings? |
A02522 | Haue you learned to be more iust then your Maker? |
A02522 | Haue you not sinnes enow of your owne, that you must needes borrow of others? |
A02522 | He was with vs while you were here: Did he depart with you? |
A02522 | His fall depends on the fall of others, or rather their rising from vnder him: If neither of these must be sudden, why is your hast? |
A02522 | How can you expect compassion, when you breath fire, and write gall? |
A02522 | How for all? |
A02522 | How is the Church of Amsterdam now gathered from the world? |
A02522 | How many haue we that conscionably teach and feede, or rather feede by teaching? |
A02522 | How many hundred errours, how many damnable heresies haue we euinced with you, in that( so compounded) Church? |
A02522 | How oft haue you said that there can bee no sound Church without this course, because no separation? |
A02522 | How painefully and Diuinely did they labour in this Vineyard of God? |
A02522 | How should wee be more inseparably commingled, then our good and euill? |
A02522 | How vainely doe you seeke a knot in a rush, while you cauil at so holy a petition? |
A02522 | How wrongfull is this force, to fasten an opinion vpon our Church which shee hath condemned? |
A02522 | I Wrote not to you alone: what is become of your partner, yea, your guide? |
A02522 | I forbeare to recapitulate, how much rather had I helpe to burie, then to reuiue such vn- christian exprobrations? |
A02522 | I vtter both, they are both mine, if the heart speake them both, feelingly and deuoutly, where lies the Idoll? |
A02522 | IF then such bee the good things of our Church; What good can you acknowledge to haue receiued from her? |
A02522 | If Antichrist held not many truthes, wherewith should he countenance so many forgeries, or how could his work be a mistery of iniquitie? |
A02522 | If God did not draw vs, and by asweat violence bend our wils to his, when should we follow him? |
A02522 | If I may be freely allowed to be a true professed Christian, what care I vnder whose hands? |
A02522 | If I pray therfore in spirit, and hartely vtter my desires to God, whether in mine owne wordes, or borrowed( and so made mine) what is the offence? |
A02522 | If Princes leisures may not be stayed in reforming, yet shall not Gods in reiecting? |
A02522 | If Sathan himselfe shall say of Christ; Thou art the sonne of the liuing God, shall I feare to repeate it? |
A02522 | If a good Angell, or man shall speake that which is euill, is it euer the better for the Deliuerer? |
A02522 | If one thing offend, doe all displease? |
A02522 | If the King should offer vs his hand to kisse, we take it vpon our kneees: how much more when the King of heauen giues vs his sonne in these pledges? |
A02522 | If the pompe of the Temple were ceremoniall, yet it leaues this morality behinde it, that Gods house should be decent, and what if goodly? |
A02522 | If they had this aduantage against vs, how could wee stand? |
A02522 | If we be traytors in our obedience: what doe you make of him that commands it? |
A02522 | If yea, as who can denie it, that knowes what the worshippe of God meaneth? |
A02522 | If you haue duely admonished him, and detested and bewailed his sinne; what is another mans prophanenesse to you? |
A02522 | If you should finde a company of true Christians in vtmost India, would you stand vpon tearmes, and inquire how they became so? |
A02522 | If you will not: why doe you obiect it? |
A02522 | If you will; why doe you reuile her? |
A02522 | In a conceiued prayer, is it not possible for a mans thought to stray from his tongue? |
A02522 | In a word, could not God bee purely worshipped, if you were not? |
A02522 | In earnest, doe you thinke wee make our Ordinary an Idoll? |
A02522 | In his second Epistle: Come out( saith he) from among them: But, from whom? |
A02522 | In hoc Ignoratis, quia malo exemplo possunt plurimi interire? |

A02522 | Is all this nothing to their ingrateful posterity? |
A02522 | Is it no City, if there be mud- walles halfe- broken, low Cottages vnequally built, no state house? |
A02522 | Is it not a law of the Eternall God, that the Ministers of the Gospell, the Bishops or Elders should be apt and able to teach? |
A02522 | Is necessity with you become a sinne, and that haynous? |
A02522 | Is not the willing neglect of your owne Parlor- decrees punished with excommunication? |
A02522 | Is shee guilty euen of that which shee condemnes? |
A02522 | Is there no remedy but you must needes haue such Elders, Pastors, Doctors, Relieuers, such Offices, such executions? |
A02522 | Is this any wrong to your knowledge? |
A02522 | Is this simplicitie, or malice? |
A02522 | Is this yet any wrong to your knowledge? |
A02522 | It is a good Mother that hath Children and no husband: Why did you not call her plaine whore? |
A02522 | It is no treason to coyne tearmes: What then is Constitution? |
A02522 | It is wel you write to those that know them; Why did you not say wee bow our knees to them, and offer incense? |
A02522 | Know you whom you accuse? |
A02522 | Lastly, Why looke you not to your owne Elders at home? |
A02522 | Leontius in Socrates, is depriued of his Priesthood: yea, what Councell or Father giues not both rules and instances, of this practise? |
A02522 | Let the Apostles and Euangelists bee Pastors and Doctors: where were their Elders, Deacons, Relieuers? |
A02522 | Looke into the frequent Subscriptions of all Councels, and their Canons? |
A02522 | Must I not imbrace the truth because I hate the Prelacy? |
A02522 | Neither are we alone in this vse: The Church of Bohemie allowes, and practises it: and why is this errour lesse palpable in the wafers of Geneua? |
A02522 | No lesse then Apostasie? |
A02522 | No, what hath the body to doe with Purgatorie? |
A02522 | Noah was righteous, the multitude disobedient: Who denies it? |

A02522 | Reiect these, and all the world will hisse at you; Receiue them, and where is our Apostacie? |
A02522 | See here, to partake with them in Gods seruice is Apostacy; If so in the accessoryes, Alas, what crime is in the principall? |

A02522 | Such Tomes as yours: May we not touch your sore vnlesse wee will launce, and search it? |
A02522 | Suppose it were so? |
A02522 | THE first of these then is easily vntwisted: your second is necessity: Then which, what can bee stronger? |
A02522 | Tell me, were we euer the true Church of God? |
A02522 | Tell mee why is it more idolatry for a man to worship God in, and by a praier read, or got by hart, then by a praier conceiued? |
A02522 | Tell mee, Might not God bee purely and perfectly worshipped without Churches, without houses, without garments, yea without handes or feete? |
A02522 | That all Reformed Churches renounce our Prelacy as Antichristian, what one hath done it? |
A02522 | The Christian Readers: who are those? |
A02522 | The Constitution of the Church of England is false in both: VVhy so? |
A02522 | The Master of the feast can say, Friend, how cam''st thou in hither: not, Friendes why came you hither with such a Guest? |
A02522 | The Readers, or the Hearers, or the matter? |
A02522 | The Ring was hallowed before by the booke; now it must be consecrated: How idlely? |
A02522 | The Visible Church: Which is that? |
A02522 | The quantitie varies not the kinde: Will you haue yet auncienter precedents? |
A02522 | The rest in Noahs time were disobedient, and perished: What of all this? |
A02522 | The third is our blasting Hierarchie, which suffers no good thing,( that is no Brownist, no singular fancy)( for what good things haue we but yours?) |
A02522 | Then follow the wordes of consecration: I pray you, what difference is there betwixt hallowing, and consecration? |
A02522 | Then we fell not from you: Euery Apostacie of a Church must needs be from the true Church; A true Church, and not yours? |
A02522 | These you eschue as hell: While you goe on thus vncharitably, both alike: Doe you hate these more then Master Smith, and his faction hates yours? |
A02522 | This is mere boyes- play: But wee pray over, or for the dead; Doe wee not sing to him also? |
A02522 | This must needs be religious adoration: is there no remedie? |
A02522 | This say we for our selues in no more charity then truth: But for you; how dare you make this shamelesse Comparison? |
A02522 | This you exclaime vppon as high Treason against the highest: VVhat yet more? |
A02522 | Those continuall Troupes that flocked to the Apostles, were they no true Church? |
A02522 | To depose Kings and dispose Kingdomes is a proud worke: you want power, but what is your will? |
A02522 | To pray for the consummation of the glorie of all Gods elect: What is it, but Thy Kingdome come? |
A02522 | To preuent this, you say our Constitution is false, not none: VVhy false? |
A02522 | VVHat wanted they then? |
A02522 | VVhat Congregation of Christendome in all records affoorded you the necessary patterne of an vnteaching Pastor, or an vnfeeding Teacher? |
A02522 | VVhat doe these Idle exceptions argue but want of greater? |

A02522 | What if those euils, which are brought in, by humane frailty, will not by diuine authority be purged out? |
A02522 | What insolence in this? |
A02522 | What is the matter of the Sacrament, but the Element? |
A02522 | What is this to vs? |
A02522 | What meanes this perue ● snesse? |
A02522 | What saith your Doctor to these? |
A02522 | What shall we say of the families of the Patriarkes, of the Iewish Congregations vnder the law, yea of Christ and his Apostles? |
A02522 | What should I be infinite? |
A02522 | What then? |
A02522 | What were these but lesser prayers? |
A02522 | What, did we fall off from you, or you from vs? |
A02522 | What? |
A02522 | What? |
A02522 | Wherefore else tels hee vs of Iewes, Arrians, and Anabaptists, with whom we haue nothing common but the streetes and market- place? |
A02522 | Wherein haue wee runne from the tents of Christ? |
A02522 | While you accuse our loyaltie to an earthly King, as treasonable to the King of the Church, Christ Iesus: If our loyaltie bee a sinne, where is yours? |
A02522 | Who can not doe so? |
A02522 | Who hath not? |
A02522 | Who is fitter to offer vp the publike prayer, then the Minister? |
A02522 | Why more then extreme needinesse? |
A02522 | Why shall that be lawfull in a case of deiection, which may not in praise and exultation? |
A02522 | Why should wee not cast off our Christendome and humanitie, because the Romanes had both? |
A02522 | Would God you were not more your owne enemies: Or rather because you hate it? |
A02522 | YET more Idolatry? |
A02522 | Yea did Nehemiah himselfe without Artahshaht( though an heathen King) set vpon the walles of Gods City? |
A02522 | Yea, what one forraine Diuine of note, hath not giuen to our Clergy the right hand of fellowshippe? |
A02522 | Yet euen this Gouernment, which you would haue them resist to bonds and banishment( who knowes not?) |
A02522 | Yet for the body: doe we by any absolution seeke to quit it from sinne? |
A02522 | You should here want many of Gods ordinances: why should you want them? |
A02522 | You that can not abide a false Church, why doe you content your selues with a false Sacrament? |
A02522 | You that teach we may not stay Princes leasure to reforme, will you not allow Princes to vrge others to reforme? |
A02522 | You that wil not allow a Prince to compell subiects, VVill you allow subiects to compell Princes? |
A02522 | Your act might haue saued your voice: what should our eyes and eares be troubled with one bad obiect? |
A02522 | Your hatred is neither any newes, nor paine: Who or what of ours is not hatefull to you? |
A02522 | Your hearts shall be our witnesses: What will follow therfore, but that our Ministerie is his peculiar appointment? |
A02522 | Your tongues are your owne, who can forbid you? |
A02522 | all in all ages, and places till now Apostates? |
A02522 | and L. Anderson Browne state of Christians d. 39 Qui non habet quod det, quomodo det? |
A02522 | and as that other in Optatus: Quid Imperatori cum Ecclesia? |
A02522 | and condemne them to want that, which can not be seene by any but Diuine eies? |
A02522 | and do we not ring them with hallowed ropes? |
A02522 | by what wordes? |
A02522 | doth not one heresie make an hereticke, and doth not a little leauen, whether in Doctrine or manners le ● uen the whol lumpe? |
A02522 | euen your handfull hath not auoided this crime of Non- residency: What wonder is it, if our world of men haue not escaped? |
A02522 | for wanting of that which he could not haue? |
A02522 | how dare you intrude thus into the throne of your Maker? |
A02522 | how did Ordination? |
A02522 | if some few priuate iudgements shall conceiue, or bring forth an error, shal the whole Church doe penance? |
A02522 | in a prayer learned by heart, or read, is it not possible for the heart to ioyne with the tongue? |
A02522 | in them, and not in al Bishops since, and in the Apostles times? |
A02522 | let me shew you your aduersary; it is King Iames himselfe in his Hampton Conference: is there not now suspition in the word? |
A02522 | or ours in not opposing his? |
A02522 | or what other? |
A02522 | shew vs but one mis- opinion in our Church that you can proue within the ken of the foundation? |
A02522 | should we still haue continued in sinne, that grace might haue abounded? |
A02522 | simple and absolute, or conditional? |
A02522 | sinnes like Doues; and by the chiefe priests the Bishoppes which set them on worke? |
A02522 | so true and glorious a light of God, and neuer seene til now? |
A02522 | that Euangelium aeternum of the Friers? |
A02522 | the partie to be ordained kneeles vnder the hand of the presbitery: dooth hee religiously adore them? |
A02522 | to denie vs Christians? |
A02522 | wee can honour that noble Church in Scotland, may we not dislike their alienations of Church- liuings? |
A02522 | what can be done with them? |
A02522 | what else? |
A02522 | what law, or what remedy is against necessity? |
A02522 | what other but a sinfull commixture? |
A02522 | what rule of Christ prescribes it? |
A02522 | where haue the inferiors laid hands vpon their Superiors? |
A02522 | wherefore serue names, but to denotate the nature of things? |
A02522 | who knowes not that, to be the Mart of all the world? |
A02522 | who rather then he which in the name of God may best blesse them? |
A02522 | who should rather ioyne the parties in marriage, then the publique deputie of that God, who solemnly ioyned the first couple? |
A02522 | will the separatists engrosse our Sauiour to themselues, and( as Cyprian said of Pupianus) goe to heauen alone? |
A02522 | will you rise from the feast, vnlesse the dishes be set on in your owne fashion? |
A02522 | yea how should there be no sides? |
A02522 | yea, confine the God of heauen to Amsterdam? |
A02522 | yea, say if you dare, that other reformed Churches are not ouer the Ankles with vs in this Apostacy? |
A02532 | A nation so vnthankfull for mercies, so impatient of remedies, so vncapable of repentance: so obliged, so warned, so shamelesly, so lawlesly wicked? |
A02532 | Among the beathen: and who is more Ethnick then Sanballat? |
A02532 | And if he be the true God, why is he not mine? |
A02532 | And vvhen should Haman bee called to aduise of Mordecaies honour, but in the very instant, vvhen hee came to sue for Mordecaies hanging? |
A02532 | And what becomes of Ioash? |
A02532 | And what if Nehemiah had harkened to this counsell? |
A02532 | And wherein can greatnesse bee better showne, then in the atcheiuments of warre, and the intertainments of peace? |
A02532 | Are there no authors of good but blocks or Deuils? |
A02532 | As yet was Ezekiah childlesse; how much better had it beene to continue so still, then to bee plagued in his issue? |
A02532 | Besides, what will become of thy poore Church, which I shall leaue feebly religious, and as yet scarce warme, in the course of a pious reformation? |
A02532 | Both are slaine in their charet; Both with an arrow; Both repay their blood to Naboth; and how perfit is this retaliation? |
A02532 | But aboue all, what sack- cloth and ashes could suffise wofull Mordecai, that found in himselfe the occasion of all this slaughter? |
A02532 | But had the Syrians prospered, must their gods haue the thanks? |
A02532 | But how hard it is for great persons to yeeld they haue offended? |
A02532 | But how is it that of all the Kings of the Ten tribes, none was euer anointed but Iehu? |
A02532 | But what can our weapons auaile vs, if there be not meanes to warne vs of an enemie? |
A02532 | But what great enterprise was euer set on foot for God, which found not some crosses? |
A02532 | But what of all this? |
A02532 | But what shall wee say to so harsh an aggrauation? |
A02532 | But what? |
A02532 | Can I heare him plead a command from God, and not inquire into it? |
A02532 | Can it stand with the honour of my soueraignty, to be thus proudly checked by subiects? |
A02532 | Can the flattering applause of strangers let thee loose into a proud ioy, whom the late message of Gods Prophet resolued into teares? |
A02532 | Can there bee a worse iudgement then desolation, captiuity, desertion, spoyle, and torture of preuailing enemies? |
A02532 | Certainly, to a generous nature, death is farre more easie then bondage; why would she haue indured the greater, and yet so abhorres the lesse? |
A02532 | Considerest thou not how far this affront reacheth? |
A02532 | Could Esther haue beene silent in a case of decreed bondage; who is now so vehement in a case of death? |
A02532 | Could I bee so bewitched as to passe so bloody a decree? |
A02532 | Could he auoid the sense of those fifteene yeares, which were super- added to his fathers age? |
A02532 | Could he be ignorant of his fathers supernaturall recouery? |
A02532 | Could he but haue heard the iust reuenge vpon Senacherib? |
A02532 | Could hee but know the slaughter that Gods Angell made in one night, of an hundred fourescore and fiue thousand? |
A02532 | Could hee but see that euer- lasting monument of the noted degrees in the Dyall of Ahaz? |
A02532 | Could his yonger eares escape the knowledge of Gods miraculous deliuerance of Ierusalem from the Assyrians? |
A02532 | Could there bee fouler sinnes then these? |
A02532 | Couldst thou feare, ô Ezekiah, that God had forgotten thine integrity? |
A02532 | Dare he not trust his God with his owne businesses? |
A02532 | Did I leaue Persians, to meet with Canaanites? |
A02532 | Did it gall me to the heart, and make all my happinesse tedious vnto mee, to see that this Iew would not bow to me,& must I now bow to him? |
A02532 | Did we not foreadmonish thee of thy danger? |
A02532 | Didst thou not see that heauen it selfe was at thy becke, whilest thou wert humbled? |
A02532 | Doe I not therefore smart from these Pagans, for that I secretly affected this vncircumcised alliance? |
A02532 | Doe thou so to Mordecai? |
A02532 | Doth he beleeue himselfe that he thus doubts ere he begin? |
A02532 | Euen Princesses did not then scorne the bed of those that serued at Gods Altar: Why should the Gospel poure contempt vpon that which the Law honoured? |
A02532 | Euery one of these words were steeped in teares: But what meant these words, these teares? |
A02532 | False Hamā, hovv is it not for the Kings profit to suffer the Iewes? |
A02532 | Had not the golden Scepter been held out, where had Queen Esther beene? |
A02532 | Hath thine holy cariage merited any thing from that infinite Iustice? |
A02532 | Haue not I the Priests, and Prophets of God about me? |
A02532 | Haue you not carefully reformed all those abuses? |
A02532 | Hee that spared not the naturall Oliue, shall hee spare the wild? |
A02532 | How God blesses the deuout indeuours of his seruants? |
A02532 | How bold a word was this, and how hazardous? |
A02532 | How carefull is the God of compassions, that his holy seruant should not languish one houre, in the expectation of his denounced death? |
A02532 | How could Ezra heare this with his cloathes, his haire, his beard vntorne? |
A02532 | How could they choose but think; Alas, how are we fallen from our hopes? |
A02532 | How did he swell with indignation; and then againe waxe pale with anger? |
A02532 | How did the dispersed priests of Baal now flock together, and applaud each others happinesse, and magnifie the deuotions of their new Soueraigne? |
A02532 | How doe their conioyned cries fill heauen, and earth? |
A02532 | How doe they bemone themselues, each to other? |
A02532 | How doe we thinke he lookt to heare himselfe thus enstyled, thus accused, yea, thus condemned? |
A02532 | How easie is it for me to know the certainty of this pretended commission? |
A02532 | How easie is it for thee to make very Pagans protectors to thy Church; enemies, benefactors? |
A02532 | How easie is it to suggest strange vntruths, when there is no body to giue an answer? |
A02532 | How easily haue we seene those holy men mis- caried by prosperity, against whom no miseries could preuaile? |
A02532 | How easily might Iehu haue beene deceiued? |
A02532 | How famous is he now grown that was taken from the Teame? |
A02532 | How farre a man may goe, and yet turne? |
A02532 | How few of them yet suruiued, that could know the place of their birth, and habitation; or, say, Here stood the Temple, here the Palace? |
A02532 | How fondly did I hope by this vndue meanes to raise my selfe, and my people? |
A02532 | How gladly doth Esther touch the top of that Scepter, by which shee holds her life? |
A02532 | How gracious was the command of that, whereof the very allowance was a fauour? |
A02532 | How happily hath Iosiah gained by this change? |
A02532 | How hard was good Hezekiah driuen, ere he would bee thus bold with his God? |
A02532 | How is the tune now changed? |
A02532 | How large a proofe doth he giue of his own long- suffering? |
A02532 | How large a triall doth God now secondly take of the faith, of the patience of his people? |
A02532 | How little do we know what is towards vs? |
A02532 | How many millions of Iewes were then liuing, that knew not there was a Mordecai? |
A02532 | How many saw those ruines, and were little affected? |
A02532 | How may I contribute to the establishment of that seed vpon earth, which God hath charged to be pull''d vp from vnder heauen? |
A02532 | How may I professe respect, where God professeth enmity? |
A02532 | How much better were a cleare captiutie, then an idolatrous freedome? |

A02532 | How oft doth it fall out that the worst enemies of a man are those of his owne, house? |
A02532 | How readily doth Elisha now make good the words of Ioash? |
A02532 | How seasonably hath the prouidence of God kept the best man for the worst times? |
A02532 | How sensible doe we thinke the father of mercies is of all our pensiue thoughts, when an heathen master is so tender of a seruāts griefe? |
A02532 | How sensible should wee bee of the losse of holy men, when a Ioash spends his teares vpon Elisha? |
A02532 | How should wee shout at the laying of this foundation, and feast at the laying on of the roofe? |
A02532 | How speedy an execution was this, how miraculous? |
A02532 | How then doth the good King crye at the newes of that death, which some resolute Pagans haue intertained with smiles? |
A02532 | How truly is he the Charets, and Horsemen of Israel? |
A02532 | How vaine are all outward helpes without the influence of Gods Spirit? |
A02532 | How vnexampled a fauour is this? |
A02532 | How vvorthy were Ahab and Iezebel of such friends? |
A02532 | How was Haman thunder- stricken with this killing word? |
A02532 | How well doth it beseeme the care of a religious Prince, to set the Priests and Scribes in hand with reedifying the Temple? |
A02532 | How wonderfull is this mercy? |
A02532 | How worthy is hee rather of the aide both of my power, and purse? |
A02532 | Howsoeuer it bee, yet, ô God, what haue thy people done? |
A02532 | I abhor to think that such a monster should descend from the loynes of Dauid; where shall bee the period of this wickednesse? |
A02532 | I can not come downe, why should the worke cease whiles I leaue it, and come downe to you? |
A02532 | I doe not heare any of these Courtiers reply to this godly motion of their young King: Alas, Sir, what meanes this deepe perplexity? |
A02532 | I feare to looke at the out- rages of this wicked sonne of Ezekiah: What hauocke doth hee make in the Church of God? |
A02532 | I haue offended, returne from mee, what thou putst on mee will I beare? |
A02532 | If for gaine, The Kings profit is in the largenesse of his Tributes; and what people are more deepe in their payments? |
A02532 | If for seruices? |
A02532 | If the Prophet were the charets and horsemen of Israel, why didst thou fight against his holy doctrine? |
A02532 | If they must be slaues, why not rather to enemies, then to brethren? |
A02532 | If thou abhorrest Baal, why didst thou giue way to this last sacrifice? |
A02532 | If thou construe this profit, for honor, The Kings honor is in the multitude of subiects, and what people more numerous then they? |
A02532 | If thou weepest for his losse, why didst thou not weepe for those sinnes of thine, that procured it? |
A02532 | If ye be Priests, remember that ye are subiects; or if ye will needs forget it, how easie is it for this hand to awake your memory? |
A02532 | If your father were idolatrous, what is that to you, who haue abandoned his sinnes? |
A02532 | If your people were once idolatrous, what is that to you, yea to them, who haue expiated these crimes by their repentance? |

A02532 | In a naturall man none could wonder at this passionate request; who can but wonder at it, in a Saint? |
A02532 | In all the cariage of Ahasuerus, who sees not too much heddinesse of passion? |
A02532 | In the meane while, what doth Nehemiah with his Iewes for their common safety? |
A02532 | In what a flame of wrath doth Haman liue this while? |
A02532 | In what a passionate distemper doth this banquet shut vp? |
A02532 | Is God a debter to thy perfection? |
A02532 | Is Ramoth recouered? |
A02532 | Is it for that the God, who would not countenance the erection of that vsurped throne, would countenance the alteration? |
A02532 | Is it not good, if there be peace and truth in my daies? |
A02532 | Is it possible that so much cruelty and presumption should harbour in a brest that I thought ingenuous? |
A02532 | Is it the purpose of mine aduersary that I shal dye in state? |

A02532 | Is this the reward of the long peaceable gouernment of our father? |
A02532 | It is a dangerous indiscretion for a man not to know the bounds of his owne calling: What confusion doth not follow vpon this breaking of rankes? |
A02532 | It is enough ô God, it is enough: What eare can but tingle? |
A02532 | It is reported: and what falshood may not plead this warant ● ● What can be more lying then report? |

A02532 | It was not the person of Ahab that we disliked but the sins: If those must still succeed, what haue we gained? |
A02532 | Let mee first goe and consult his oracle; If God haue sent him, and forbidden mee, why should my courage cary me against my piety? |
A02532 | Lord; What insolent blasphemies doth that foule mouth of Rabshakeh belch out against the liuing God, against his anointed seruant? |
A02532 | Manasseh now returnes another man to Ierusalem: With what indignation doth hee looke vpon his old follies? |
A02532 | Neither did it a little adde to the sorrow of Mordecai, to heare the bitter insultations of his former monitors: Did wee not aduise thee better? |
A02532 | Neyther is it other betwixt God and vs; if out of a dread of hel we be officious, who shall thanke vs for these respects to our selues? |
A02532 | Now Sanballat, and his brethren, find some matter to spend their scoffes vpon; What doe these feeble Iewes? |
A02532 | O Cyrus, how manie close- handed, griple- minded Christians shall once be choked in iudgement with the example of thy iust munificence? |
A02532 | O God how worthy of wonder are thy iust and mercifull dispensations? |
A02532 | O God, how thou lashest euen those whom thou louest: Hadst thou euer any such dearling in the throne of Iudah, as Hezekiah? |
A02532 | O God, if wee heare that thou hast ordained vs to life, how gladly, how carefullie, should we worke out our saluation? |
A02532 | O Iehu what meanes this dilation? |
A02532 | O Ioash, if the Prophet were thy father, wher was thy filiall obedience? |
A02532 | O Ioash, what eye can pitty the fearfull destruction of thee, and thy Iudah? |
A02532 | O Israelites, can ye be so base, as to be ruled by my fathers seruant? |
A02532 | O that I had neuer beene, Oh that I could not be: How too truly haue Zeresh and my friends foretold me of this heauy destiny? |
A02532 | Oh Ezekiah, what meanes this impotent ambition? |
A02532 | Oh, what meanes this vncouth attempt? |
A02532 | On the other side, what insultations and triumphs sounded euery where of the ioyfull Baalites? |
A02532 | One houre hath changed the face of the Persian Court; what stability is there in earthly greatnesse? |
A02532 | Or is an outward prosperity the only argument of truth, the onely motiue of deuotion? |
A02532 | Or, if thy store- house were as rich as the earth, can thy heart be so vain as to be lifted vp with these heauie metals? |
A02532 | Or, was it for that this wall lookt towards the Temple, which his heart and eyes still moued vnto, though his feet could not? |
A02532 | Pharaoh Necho King of Egipt comes vp to fight against the King of Assyria: What is that to Iosiah? |
A02532 | Shall I change Ahabs God for Iehosaphats? |
A02532 | Shall the blood of Iezebel be thus traiterously spilt, thus wilfully forgotten? |
A02532 | Shall they finde at home that yoke of bondage which they had put off abroad? |
A02532 | Should I goe into the Temple to saue my life? |
A02532 | Speake out Hezekiah, what is it that thy teares craue, whiles thy lips expresse not? |
A02532 | The first motions of zeale are commonly strong, and feruent; How carefully doe these Gouernours and Priests make preparatiō for Gods Temple? |
A02532 | The grace that was in thee, was his owne worke; could he in thee neglect himselfe? |
A02532 | The land doth not brook her new Tenants: They feared not the Lord;( how should they, they knew him not?) |
A02532 | The quarrell is not mine, why do I thrust my finger into this flame, vnbidden? |
A02532 | The words were good; the teares were pious; but where are the actions? |
A02532 | Their new gouernors come, as before; to expostulate; Who hath commanded you to build this house, and to make vp this wall? |
A02532 | Then? |
A02532 | They aske therefore, Is all well? |
A02532 | They had been euer false to God, how should men be true to thē? |
A02532 | Thou knowest that God hath set apart, and sanctified his owne attendants; wherefore serues the Priesthood, if this be the right of Kings? |
A02532 | Thy stomacke had long owed thee a spight, and now it hath paid thee; vvho can pitty thy wilfulnesse? |
A02532 | WHat bounds can be set to humane ambition? |
A02532 | WIth what difficultie doe these miserable Iewes settle in their Ierusalem? |
A02532 | Was it Cyrus that did this? |
A02532 | Was it for the greater secrecie of his deuotion? |
A02532 | Was it not thy true message which thy Prophet, euen now, deliuered to Ezekiah? |
A02532 | Was it that thou mightst be sure of their guiltinesse? |
A02532 | We are the sonnes of Ahab, therefore haue ye hitherto professed to obserue vs; what change is this? |
A02532 | Wee are sensible of the least touch of our owne miseries, how rarely are wee affected with other mens calamities? |
A02532 | What a dangerous wilfulnesse should it be to incurre the forfaiture of thy place, of thy life for a curtesie? |
A02532 | What a dead palenesse was there now in the faces of those few true- harted Israelites, that looked for an happy restauration of the religion of God? |

A02532 | What browes are not now lifted vp to an attentiue expectation of some present, and feareful vengeance from God, vpon such flagitious wickednesse? |
A02532 | What but a dying life, and a tormenting death can bee fit for a man of blood? |
A02532 | What but an vtter abdication can befit him that hath cast off his God, and doted vpon Deuils? |

A02532 | When did God euer put vp so foule ingratitude to himselfe, to his seruants? |
A02532 | When shall wee finde a Temple to secure vs? |
A02532 | Whence is this indulgence? |

A02532 | Which of thine holy Progenitors euer dared to tread, where thy foot now standeth? |
A02532 | Whiles it helped, it stood; it stood whiles it hurt not, but when once wicked abuse hath turned it into an Idoll; what was it but Nehushtan? |

A02532 | Would he haue me hangd in triumph? |
A02532 | Yea, is not this carnall presumption the quarrell that God hath against me? |

A02532 | Yet how could I imagine, that the flame of Hamans rage would haue broken out so farre? |
A02532 | Yet when he sees Iehu, whom he left a subiect, hopes striue with his doubts, Is it peace, Iehu? |
A02532 | Yet, vvho can but think that king Ahasuerus meant vpon some second thoughts to make amends to Mordecai? |
A02532 | and canst thou be so vainly timerous, as to die for feare of death? |
A02532 | and if these vnalterable edicts exempt no liuing soule, what shall become of thine? |
A02532 | and if we deserued it not, what horrible cruelty was it to set a price vpon innocent blood? |
A02532 | and not before? |
A02532 | and now, whiles she thinks it well that she may liue, she receiues besides pardon, fauour: What wilt thou Queene Esther, and what is thy request? |
A02532 | and shall a little earthlie drosse haue power ouer thy soul? |
A02532 | and what are your names? |
A02532 | are these the Trophees of Ahabs victories against Benhadad, Iehorams against Hazael? |
A02532 | could I suspect that Mordecai, or that people, did ought concerne thee? |
A02532 | for the pulling down of the liuely house of God? |
A02532 | hast thou not now brought thy matters to a fair pass? |
A02532 | hath not your happy reformatiō made an abūdant amends for those wrongs? |
A02532 | haue I but one proud enemie in all the world, and am I singled out to grace him? |
A02532 | hauing on purpose thus seasonably hoysed thee vp to the throne, that thou maist rescue his poore Church from an vtter ruine? |
A02532 | he heares of them a far off, and is thus passionate? |
A02532 | how dare ye thus malapertly controll the well- meant actions of your Soueraigne? |
A02532 | how did the gods of Syria helpe their Kings, when both those Kings, and their gods were vanquished, and taken by the King of Assyria? |
A02532 | how do they honour him as a man fent from heauen, for the welfare of Ierusalem? |
A02532 | how iust shall their iudgment be? |
A02532 | how seldome is excellency in any kind long- liu''d? |
A02532 | if this be a quarrell, what shall the death of the Iewes bee other, then martyrdome? |
A02532 | if to good workes, how should we abound? |
A02532 | is it death that thou fearest in this attempt of thy supplication; what other thē death awaits thee in the neglect of it? |
A02532 | might that reuenge haue determined in my blood, how happy should I haue been? |
A02532 | now, vvhere is the man that vvould needs contest vvith Haman? |
A02532 | or hath the flight of the enemy left thee no further worke? |
A02532 | or is some other ill newes guilty of thy hast? |
A02532 | or what can the treasures of Monarchs purchase more invaluably precious, then learned and iudicious attendance? |
A02532 | or, doest thou now decree somewhat thou meantst not? |
A02532 | see now the issue of thine obstinacy: now see, what it is for thine earthen pitcher to knock vvith brasse? |
A02532 | that acknowledging but one God of all the world, are yet carelesse to know him to serue him? |
A02532 | that, with his owne danger, would indeauor to execute a controlled decree? |
A02532 | there is but this difference, sue,& thou maist die, sue not, and thou must dye: what blood hast thou but Iewish? |
A02532 | thus to insult, and play vpon my last distresse? |
A02532 | to call in forraine friēds to be witnesses of our plenty? |
A02532 | to preferre certaintie of danger, before a possibility of hopes? |
A02532 | to raise our conceits, some little, vpon the acclamations of others, vpon the value of our owne abilities? |
A02532 | turne thee behind mee? |
A02532 | vvhy should that which hath hitherto kept you loyall, now make you cruell? |
A02532 | vvhy should they liue vnder thy protection, that will not be gouerned by thy lawes? |
A02532 | vvhy will ye of Tutors turne murtherers? |
A02532 | was is for the more freedome from all distraction? |
A02532 | was it only ambition that hath set this edge vpon the sword of Iehu? |
A02532 | was it that the passion which accompanied his prayer, might haue no witnesses? |
A02532 | was it that their number, together with their sinne, might be complete? |
A02532 | what Church in the world can show such deare loue- tokens from the Almighty as this, now- abhorred, and adulterous spouse? |
A02532 | what Pagan can be worse then a mungrel Idolater? |
A02532 | what Prophet could haue aduised more holily? |
A02532 | what am I the better to haue been great? |
A02532 | what climbing into the windowes? |
A02532 | what doe I here, if Ierusalem bee remoued? |
A02532 | what dotage is this to make choice of a foyled protection? |
A02532 | what exprobrations of the disappointed hopes, and predictions of their aduerse Prophets? |
A02532 | what eye can but weepe? |
A02532 | what haire can but start vp? |
A02532 | what heart can bee but confounded at the mention of so dreadfull a reuenge? |
A02532 | what if his far- distant countrymen be despised, whiles himselfe is honoured, by the great Monarch of the world? |
A02532 | what if some false tongue haue whispered such idle tales? |
A02532 | what if those remote wals lay on heaps whiles himselfe dwelt faire? |
A02532 | what may be the reason of this sudden iourney? |
A02532 | what may he not be? |
A02532 | what out- cries? |
A02532 | what people are more officious? |
A02532 | what promises to thēselues of a perpetuity of Baalisme? |
A02532 | what running from one sword, to the edge of another? |
A02532 | what scornes of their deiected opposites? |
A02532 | what scrambling vp the walls and pillars? |
A02532 | what vaine endeuors to escape that death which would not be shunned? |
A02532 | what were the lawes of Israel, but the lawes of God? |
A02532 | what wrong could it be to wish a freedome from wrongs? |
A02532 | wherein canst thou bee remembred, if this bee to forget thee? |
A02532 | which of thē euer put forth their hand to touch this sacred Altar? |
A02532 | whiles they are still Iewes, shall we turne Assyrians? |
A02532 | who can expresse the horror of Gods reuenge vpō a people that should haue beene his? |
A02532 | who euer but Hezekiah knew his period so long before? |
A02532 | why didst thou not cut off these Idolaters before this vpshot of their wickednesse? |
A02532 | will they fortifie themselues? |
A02532 | will they indure to swallow so cruell an indignity? |
A02532 | will they make an end in a day? |
A02532 | will they reuiue the stones out of the heapes of rubbish which are burnt? |
A02532 | will they sacrifice? |
A02532 | with execution of iudgements to death, bonds, banishment? |
A02532 | wouldest thou be spoken for to the King, or to the Captaine of the Host? |
A02532 | yea why should I not thinke that God hath put this very act into the intendement of thine exaltation? |
A45200 | 7. and 8? |
A45200 | A Soul is to be wone, what cares he for idle misconstruction? |
A45200 | A mannerly preface leads in a faulty suit; Master, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from Heaven and consume them? |
A45200 | A sharp answer to the suit of a Mother: O woman, what have I to doe with thee? |
A45200 | A sinner? |
A45200 | After three days we shall find thee: and where should we rather hope to find thee then in the Temple? |
A45200 | Alas, what wert thou the better if they believed thee sent from God? |
A45200 | Alas, who was not? |
A45200 | All sorts of Patients were at the bank of Bethesda: where should Cripples be but at the Spittle? |
A45200 | All the World will say, there is more in thee then a Man; and for danger, there can be none: What can hurt him that is the Son of God? |
A45200 | An expert workman can not abide to be taught by a novice: how much less shall the All- wise God endure to be directed by his creature? |
A45200 | And Jesus said, Who touched me? |
A45200 | And can we blame him if he bestowed the handsel of his speech upon the power that restored it? |
A45200 | And can we think, O Saviour, that thy Glory hath diminished ought of thy gracious respects to our beneficence? |
A45200 | And could there be a greater Miracle then this, that having, been thirty years upon earth, thou didst no Miracle till now? |
A45200 | And do we think thy goodness is impaired by thy glory? |
A45200 | And dost thou ask, O thou evil Spirit, what hast thou to doe with Christ, whilst thou vexest a Servant of Christ? |
A45200 | And dost thou, O God, see what we give thee, and not see what we take away from thee? |
A45200 | And have ye not now felt, O Nation worthy of plagues, have ye not now felt what bloud it was whose guilt ye affected? |
A45200 | And how modestly dost thou undertake it, without noise, without ostentation? |
A45200 | And how sure, how ready art thou, O Saviour, to speak in the cause of the dumb? |
A45200 | And if God''s hand touch him never so little, can his Gold bribe a disease, can his bags keep his head from a king, or the gout from his joynts? |
A45200 | And if Peter might not say so of this, how shall we say of any other place, Bonum est esse hîc? |
A45200 | And if he had not been more forward then his fellows, why had not his skin been as whole as theirs? |
A45200 | And if he spoke this to retain them, how weak was it to think their absence would be for want of house- room? |
A45200 | And if the best of earth can not doe it, why will ye seek it in the worst? |
A45200 | And if the very Handkerchief which touched his Apostles had power of cure, how much more that Water which the sacred body of Christ touched? |
A45200 | And if they will not give, yet will they not lend to God? |
A45200 | And if this term were fit for my vileness, yet doth it become thy lips? |
A45200 | And is this the state of these two Saints alone? |
A45200 | And now how am I conformable to thee, if, when thou art risen, I lie still in the grave of my Corruptions? |
A45200 | And now how happily was that doubt bestowed, which brought forth so faithfull a confession, My Lord, my God? |
A45200 | And now what must be done? |
A45200 | And now, O Blessed Jesu, how easily have carnall eyes all this while mistaken the passages and intentions of this thy last and most glorious work? |
A45200 | And what can now secure them? |
A45200 | And what gives she? |
A45200 | And what if the desire of more audibleness raised him to his feet? |
A45200 | And what needed all this pageant of Cruelty? |
A45200 | And what other is our condition? |
A45200 | And what was this other then a reall Parable of thine? |
A45200 | And what work was thine but the hospitall receit of thy Saviour and his train? |
A45200 | And wherefore doth this foul Spirit urge a Text, but for imitation, for prevention, and for success? |
A45200 | And wherefore serves that glorious Guard of Angels, which have by Divine Commission taken upon them the charge of thine Humanity? |
A45200 | And who can willingly part from what he loves? |
A45200 | And why are all other creatures said to praise God, and bidden to praise him, but because they doe it by the apprehension, by the expression of man? |
A45200 | And why are they thus troubled? |
A45200 | And why did he not? |
A45200 | And why do we not still follow thee, O Saviour, through desarts and mountains, over land and seas, that we may be both healed and taught? |
A45200 | And why dost not thou, O my Soul, help to bear thy part with that happy Quire of Heaven? |
A45200 | And why mightest not thou, who madest all things, take liberty to destroy a plant for thine own Glory? |
A45200 | And why not rather by his own hand to the multitude, that so the Miracle and thank might have been more immediate? |
A45200 | And why sent by him? |
A45200 | And why should our garments be of any other colour? |
A45200 | And why should the Christian Church have less power then the Jewish Synagogue? |
A45200 | And why the Woman rather? |
A45200 | And why these? |
A45200 | And yet why should it more trouble me to see thee sinking under thy Cross now, then to see thee anon hanging upon thy Cross? |
A45200 | Applause of his abettours, contempt of the Scribes and Pharisees, ignorance of the multitude? |
A45200 | Are not these of them that could say, Master, the evil spirits are subdued to us? |
A45200 | Are not these they that ejected Devils by their command? |
A45200 | Are our Offerings more noted then our Sacrileges? |
A45200 | Are there not twelve hours in the day, which are duely set and proceed regularly for the direction of all the motions and actions of men? |
A45200 | Are we afflicted, whither should we go but to Cana, to seek Christ? |
A45200 | Are we more orthodox, and shall not we be as charitable? |
A45200 | Are we naturally timorous? |
A45200 | Are we pinched with want? |
A45200 | Are ye not afraid he will wrest the Scepter out of Caesar''s hand? |
A45200 | Are ye now also at rest, O ye Jewish Rulers? |
A45200 | Art thou come to torment us before our time? |
A45200 | Art thou rather pleased that gross sins should be blanched, and sent away with a gentle connivency? |
A45200 | Art thou the Prophet of God, that so disdainfully entertainest poor suppliants? |
A45200 | As if that shameless man meant to outbrave all accusations, and to outface his own heart, he dares ask too, Master, is it I? |
A45200 | At whose board did he ever sit, and left not his host a gainer? |
A45200 | Because fools jear thee, dost thou forbear thy work? |
A45200 | Before the Devil had spoken singularly of himself, What have I to doe with thee? |
A45200 | Behold the man; the man whom ye envied for his greatness, whom ye feared for his usurpation: Doth he not look like a King? |
A45200 | Besides his own, what favour was he worthy of for his Masters sake? |
A45200 | Besides this undervaluation, how unjust is the ground of this doubt? |
A45200 | Besides, how injuriously dost thou take this woman for what she was? |
A45200 | Blessed Jesu, how thou pitiest the errours and infirmities of thy servants? |
A45200 | Blessed Jesu, if as Man thou wouldst be made a little lower then the Angels; how can it disparage thee to be attended and cheared up by an Angel? |
A45200 | Blessed Jesu, who are those? |
A45200 | But all this can not deliver thee from the just blame of this bold subincusation, Lord, dost thou not care? |
A45200 | But all this while what part hath the Moon in this man''s misery? |
A45200 | But art thou, O Saviour, ever the more discouraged by the derision and censure of these scornfull unbelievers? |
A45200 | But his domesticall fare how simple, how homely it is? |
A45200 | But how gladly do we second the Angel in the praise of her, who was more ours then his? |
A45200 | But how ill guests were these? |
A45200 | But how modestly dost thou discover thy Deity to thy Disciples? |
A45200 | But if Herod were troubled,( as Tyranny is still suspicious,) why was all Jerusalem troubled with him? |
A45200 | But if without leave they can not set upon an Hog, what can they doe to the living Images of their Creatour? |
A45200 | But is it the name of Elias( O ye Zelots) which ye pretend for a colour of your impotent desire? |
A45200 | But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? |
A45200 | But now what a demonstration of power doth both the world and I see, in thy glorious Resurrection? |
A45200 | But oh, what tongue of the highest Archangel of Heaven can express the welcome of thee the King of Glory into those Blessed Regions of Immortality? |
A45200 | But say it had been what they mistook it for, a Spirit; why should they fear? |
A45200 | But to man, how ever favourable and indulgent wert thou? |
A45200 | But to whom dost thou make this moan, O thou Saviour of men? |
A45200 | But what ails you, O ye Rulers of Israel, that ye stand thus thronging at the door? |
A45200 | But what is this I hear? |
A45200 | But what is this I see? |
A45200 | But what shall I say of so sharp and imperious an act from so meek an Agent? |
A45200 | But what shall I say to you Courtiers, but even as Saint Paul to his Corinthians, Ye are full, ye are rich, ye are strong without us? |
A45200 | But what shall we say to this thine early hunger? |
A45200 | But what strange variety do I see in the spectatours of his Miracle, some wondering, others censuring, a third sort tempting, a fourth applauding? |
A45200 | But what was this other, then to serve a Prentiship in the house of bondage? |
A45200 | But what? |
A45200 | But where wert thou, O Blessed Jesu, for the space of these three days? |
A45200 | But whither then, O whither dost thou carry that blessed burthen, by which thy self and the world are upholden? |
A45200 | But who can tell whether that silence or this answer be more grievous? |
A45200 | But whom do I see wondering? |
A45200 | But why didst thou curse a poor Tree for the want of that fruit which the season yielded not? |
A45200 | But why didst thou not, O Centurion, rather bring thy Servant to Christ for cure, then sue for him absent? |
A45200 | But why then, O Saviour, why didst thou thus inquire, thus expostulate? |
A45200 | But why to them? |
A45200 | But, O Blessed Virgin, who can express the sorrows of thy perplexed soul, wben all that evening- search could afford thee no news of thy Son Jesus? |
A45200 | But, O Saviour, how doth this agree? |
A45200 | But, O Saviour, may I presume to ask what this is to thee? |
A45200 | But, O Saviour, whilst thou dignifiest them in thy grant, dost thou disparage thy self in thy denial? |
A45200 | But, O fond Herod, what needed this unjust scrupulousness? |
A45200 | By whose hands perished the Prophets? |
A45200 | Can I bring him back again? |
A45200 | Can I chuse but wonder how Peter could thus strike unwounded? |
A45200 | Can men be so sottish, to think that the vowed enemy of their souls can offer them a bait without an hook? |
A45200 | Can neither the silence of Christ nor his denial silence her? |
A45200 | Can not he, in whose hands are the issues of death, bring her back again? |

A45200 | Can ye so converse with leud good- fellows, as that ye repress their sins, redress their exorbitances, win them to God? |
A45200 | Canst thou be so injurious to me as to think I yield, because I want aid to resist? |
A45200 | Canst thou be so weak as to imagine that this Suffering of mine is not free and voluntary? |
A45200 | Canst thou distrust the certainty of that dreadfull menace of vengeance? |
A45200 | Canst thou dream waking, thus to avoid the charge of thy wife''s dream? |

A45200 | Could we but speak for our selves, as this Captain did for his servant, what could we possibly want? |
A45200 | Could ye suppose that I would condemn any man unheard? |
A45200 | Did I fly upon thee otherwise then with my prayers and tears? |

A45200 | Didst thou call for fire from Heaven upon them? |
A45200 | Didst thou not see how easy it had been for me to have blown away these poor forces of my adversaries? |
A45200 | Do we find our selves haunted with the familiar Devills of Pride, Self- love, Sensuall desires, Unbelief? |
A45200 | Do we groan on the bed of our sickness, and languishing in pain complain of long hours and weary sides? |

A45200 | Do ye thus part with your no less meek then glorious King? |
A45200 | Do ye thus requite the Lord, O ye foolish people and unjust? |
A45200 | Do you think I may take your complaint for a crime? |
A45200 | Dost thou ask of one; when thou art pressed by many? |
A45200 | Dost thou challenge the Lord of Heaven and earth of incogitancy and neglect? |
A45200 | Dost thou go about to hinder thine own and the whole world''s Redemption? |
A45200 | Dost thou know, Pilate, who we are? |
A45200 | Dost thou take upon thee to prescribe unto that infinite Wisedom, in stead of receiving directions from him? |
A45200 | Doth God''s poor Church goe to wreck, whilst the ploughers ploughing on her back make long furrows? |
A45200 | Doth he not know that if he be not foremost, he loseth? |

A45200 | Doubtless they went first to the Court; where else should they ask for a King? |
A45200 | Durst I have set my foot where he did? |
A45200 | Elias did so; why not we? |
A45200 | Even Pilate begins justly, What accusation bring you against this man? |
A45200 | Even so, O Blessed Jesu, how ambitiously should we follow thee with the paces of Love and Faith, and aspire towards thy Glory? |
A45200 | Even that had been a cruel mercy from him; for what evil hadst thou done? |

A45200 | Filii hominum, usquequo gravi corde? |
A45200 | For how should Christ both depart at Jerusalem, and stay in the Mount? |
A45200 | For them; What reward shall be given to thee, thou false tongue? |
A45200 | For what womb can conceive thee, and not partake of thee? |

A45200 | Had it not been easie for thee( O Saviour) to have acquit thy self from Herod a thousand ways? |
A45200 | Had not Satan tempted thee, how shouldst thou have overcome? |
A45200 | Had not he been a wise Disciple that should have envied the great favour done to Judas, and have stomacked his own preterition? |
A45200 | Had not that thy Divine Master foretold thee with the rest that he must be crucified, and the third day rise again? |
A45200 | Had not thine entrance been recorded for strange and supernaturall, why was thy standing in the midst noted before thy passage into the room? |
A45200 | Had our Saviour said in plain terms, Simon, whether dost thou or this sinner love me more? |
A45200 | Had these holy women known their Jesus to be alive, how had they hasted, who made such speed to doe their last offices to his sacred Corps? |
A45200 | Had they had victuals, they had not called for a dismission; and not having, how should they give? |
A45200 | Had this duty been neglected, what clamours had been raised by his emulous adversaries? |
A45200 | Had thy God left thee? |
A45200 | Had thy fear put thee to so long a flight, that as yet thou wert not returned to thy fellows? |
A45200 | Had we been in the stead of this Publican, how would our hearts have leapt within us for joy of such a presence? |
A45200 | Had ye said, Why would he not? |
A45200 | Hadst thou gone sooner, and prevented the death, who had known whether strength of Nature, and not thy miraculous power, had done it? |
A45200 | Hast thou disregarded thy Blessed self, to save them? |
A45200 | Hast thou refused all Glory, to put on shame and misery for their sakes? |
A45200 | Hast thou said, Not Heaven, but Earth; not Sovereignty, but Service; not the Gentile, but the Jew? |

A45200 | Have ye onely a postern to go to Heaven by your selves, where- through ye can go, besides the foolishness of Preaching? |
A45200 | Have ye yet enough of that bloud which ye called for upon your selves and your children? |
A45200 | He can not, he dare not say, What hast thou to doe with me? |
A45200 | He could as well have multiplied the loaves whole; why would he rather doe it in the breaking? |
A45200 | He is but in his trade, whilst he is bartering even for his Master; What will ye give me? |
A45200 | He is gone: can it trouble you to know you have an Advocate in Heaven? |
A45200 | He saith not, I came with these men, with them I will goe; if they will return, I will accompany them; if not, what should I goe alone? |
A45200 | He that commands us to honour Father and Mother, doth he disdain her whose flesh he took? |
A45200 | He that could give himself life, can more easily take mine: how can I escape the hands of a now- immortal and impassible avenger? |
A45200 | He that had humility enough to kneel to the Son of God, hath boldness enough to expostulate; Art thou come to torment us before our time? |
A45200 | He that knew all their thoughts afar off, yet, as if he had been a stranger to their purposes, asks, What wouldst thou? |
A45200 | He that knew all things, asks questions; How long hath he been so? |
A45200 | He that said once, Who touched me? |
A45200 | He that sent word to John for great news, that the poor receive the Gospel, said also, How hard is it for a rich man to enter into heaven? |

A45200 | He wanted not malice and presumption to assault thee? |
A45200 | He was condemned that increased not the summe concredited to him: what shall become of him that lawlesly impairs it? |

A45200 | He who before had said, If this man were a Prophet, he would have known what manner of Woman this is, now hears, Seest thou this Woman? |
A45200 | He whose sweet mildness and mercy never sent away any suppliant discontented, doth he onely frown upon her that bare him? |
A45200 | Her Son and Saviour is her monitour, out of his Divine love reforming her natural: How is it that ye sought me? |
A45200 | Her former tears said, Who shall deliver me from this body of death? |
A45200 | Her modesty and her tears bewray her change: and if she be changed, why is she censured for what she is not? |
A45200 | Here are the mouths, but where is the meat? |

A45200 | O dear Jesu, what a beginning is here of a Passion? |
A45200 | O dear Saviour, who can miss, and not mourn for thee? |
A45200 | O gracious and divine Zeal, the kindly warmth and vital temper of Piety, whither hast thou withdrawn thy self from the cold hearts of men? |
A45200 | O grave, where is thy victory? |
A45200 | O my Saviour, what an agony am I in, whilst I think of thine? |
A45200 | O thou that saidst, I and my Father are one, dost thou suffer ought from thy Father but what thou wouldst, what thou determinedst? |
A45200 | O thou weak Christian, was onely one or two lims of Christ''s body glorious in the Transfiguration, or the whole? |
A45200 | O ye sons of men, how long will ye love vanity, and follow after lies? |
A45200 | O ye sons of men, how long,& c? |
A45200 | Of Nazareth, say you? |
A45200 | Of whom do the Kings of the earth receive tribute? |
A45200 | Oh how worthy is the King of Glory to command our eyes now in the highest pitch of his Heavenly exaltation? |
A45200 | Oh what pangs were these, dear Jesu, that drew from thee this complaint? |
A45200 | Oh what shall become of us, that reel and fall in the clearest Sun- shine that ever looked forth upon any Church? |
A45200 | Once, when Peter ask''d thee a question concerning John, What shall this man doe? |
A45200 | One grain of Faith in thy very Disciples was enough to remove mountains; and dost thou say, Take away the stone? |
A45200 | Onwards thy pretence is fair, and such as can not but receive applause from thy compacted crue; What need have we of witnesses? |
A45200 | Or how could that at once be which Moses and Elias had told him, and that which he wished? |
A45200 | Or is this according to the just constitution of the old and decrepit age of the world, into which we are fallen? |
A45200 | Or was it chiefly for the Woman''s sake; for the praise of her Faith, for the securing of her Conscience? |
A45200 | Or was it in a representation of that loud voice of the last Trumpet, which shall sound into all graves, and raise all flesh from their dust? |
A45200 | Or was it out of an honour and respect to Christ, that in his presence she would not presume to call off her Sister without his leave? |
A45200 | Or was it out of cunning? |
A45200 | Or was it rather for that thou couldst not? |
A45200 | Or was it rather out of partiality? |
A45200 | Or was it that this phrase doth not so much import posture as presence? |
A45200 | Others indeed I have vexed, thee I fear: in respect then of any violence, of any personal provocation, What have I to doe with thee? |
A45200 | Our desires are uttered in our Prayers: What can we wish but to have what we would? |
A45200 | Perhaps Pilate supposed some such business now on foot, and therefore asks so curiously, Art thou the King of the Jews? |
A45200 | Pilate had given leave to break the bones of the living, he gave no leave to goar the side of the dead: what wicked superrerogation is this? |
A45200 | Pilate had helpt to kill him; but who shall keep him from rising? |
A45200 | Pilate takes this intimation at the first bound; Art thou then the King of the Jews? |
A45200 | Quae nunc nos angit vesania vitiorum, sitire absynthium,& c? |
A45200 | Quantum mali facit nimia subtilitas? |
A45200 | Said he formally thus as ye have deposed? |
A45200 | Saidst thou not well, O Saviour, I have chosen you twelve, and one of you is a Devil? |
A45200 | Satan himself with a Bible under his arm, with a Text in his mouth, It is written, He shall give his Angels charge over thee? |
A45200 | Say then, thou wife of Zebedee, what is it that thou cravest of thine Omnipotent kinsman? |
A45200 | Shall none be seen with him in the Tabor of Heaven but those which have seen him in Horeb and Carmel? |
A45200 | Shall we yet call this a suit, or a complaint? |
A45200 | She did not murmur, not whisper, but cry out: couldst thou but pity, but regard her that was as good as she was miserable? |
A45200 | She knew him what he was; and could therefore speak to thee, as brought in by his mediation, Art not thou also one of this man''s Disciples? |
A45200 | She says not, Who and whence art thou? |
A45200 | Shew our selves to the Priests? |
A45200 | Shouldst thou, O God, stand strictly upon the punctual degrees of knowledge, how wide would it goe with millions of Souls? |
A45200 | Since thou wert so fervent, why didst thou not rather fall upon that Treachour that betray''d him, then that Sergeant that arrested him? |
A45200 | Sir, it is too little for our selves; whence shall we then relieve our own hunger? |
A45200 | Sixteen hundred years are now passed since you wished your selves thus wretched: have ye not been ever since the hate and scorn of the world? |
A45200 | Sleepest thou, Peter? |
A45200 | So as now the neighbours can say, Is this the man? |
A45200 | Speak out, woman; what is this certain thing that thou cravest? |
A45200 | Still the sacred Tribe challengeth reverence: who cares how little they receive, how much they pay? |
A45200 | Still, O Saviour, dost thou walk through our Jericho: what would become of us, if thou shouldst stay till we seek thee alone? |
A45200 | Surely there is no Angel in Heaven but would have been proud to attend thee; and what could the earth afford worthy of thy train? |
A45200 | Surely, they were not verier Lepers then we: why do we not imitate them in their actions, who are too like them in our condition? |
A45200 | THE sentence of Death is past, and now who can with dry eyes behold the sad pomp of my Saviour''s bloudy execution? |
A45200 | Tell me then, Herod, what could the people doe at the worst? |
A45200 | That enmity that spared not to strike at the head, will it forbear the weakest and remotest limb? |
A45200 | That sight had well fore- arm''d and prepared them for this: how could they be dismay''d to see his trouble, who there saw his Majesty? |
A45200 | The Angels did attend thee, they did not aid thee: whence had they their strength but from thee? |
A45200 | The Disciples see the blind man too, but with different eyes: our Saviour for pity and cure, they for expostulation; Master, who did sin? |
A45200 | The Disciples, who were not used to these affronts, can not but be troubled at their mis- success: Master, why could not we cast him out? |
A45200 | The Feast ended, what should they doe but return to Nazareth? |
A45200 | The Lion shall roar, who shall not be afraid? |
A45200 | The Swine ran down violently; what marvell is it if their Keepers fled? |
A45200 | The attending Disciples could not be to seek for an answer; which of the Prophets have not put it into their mouths? |
A45200 | The cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it? |
A45200 | The first Fole of the Ass is commanded, under the Law, to have his neck broken: what is that to us? |
A45200 | The mannerly Collectours demand it first of him, with whom they might be more bold; Doth not your Master pay tribute? |
A45200 | The noise of the Gospel is common; but where is the power of it? |
A45200 | The offender is worthy of stoning, but who shall cast them? |
A45200 | The onely thought they now take is, Who shall roll away the stone? |
A45200 | The throne of David did so fill their eyes, that they could not see his Cross: and if they must let down this Pill, how bitter must it needs be? |
A45200 | The touch of an ordinary( though honest) Jew was their pollution; how much more the presence of a Strumpet? |
A45200 | The very heathen Poet could say, A Jove principium: and which of those verse- mongers ever durst write a ballad without imploring of some Deity? |
A45200 | The wicked Spirits have their wish; the Swine are choaked in the waves: What ease is this to them? |
A45200 | The world is your servant: if it were your Parasite, yet could it make you heartily merry? |
A45200 | These are such as must hold the Devils themselves( their Masters) unto the judgment of the great Day; how much more those impotent Vassals? |
A45200 | These are the tongues that must win the whole world to an assent; and durst thou the first man detrect to yield? |
A45200 | They stand not silent therefore, but, directing their speech to the amazed beholders, say, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing into Heaven? |
A45200 | They told thee, We have seen the Lord; was not this enough? |
A45200 | They well knew that Stars did not use to attend earthly Kings; and if their aim had not been higher, what was a Jewish King to Persian Strangers? |
A45200 | Think that Christ saith to thee at every Sermon as he did to Peter, Etiam, Petre, dormis? |
A45200 | This Day, this Deep they tremble at: what shall I say of those men that fear it not? |
A45200 | This journey thou hast purposed and contrived; but what neededst thou to acquaint thy Disciples with thine intent? |
A45200 | This piece of the clause was spoken like a Saint, Jesus, the Son of the Most high God: the other piece like a Devil, What have I to doe with thee? |
A45200 | This was the Place: what was the Use of it? |
A45200 | Those tears which she did let drop into the Sepulcher, send up back to her the voice of those Angels, Woman, why weepest thou? |
A45200 | Thou a challenger of temporall Sovereignty, who avoidedst it, renouncedst it, professedst to come to serve? |
A45200 | Thou a forbidder of Tribute, who payedst it, who prescribedst it, who provedst it to be Caesar''s due? |
A45200 | Thou a perverter of the Nation, who taughtest the way of God truely? |
A45200 | Thou also supposes the first acknowledged such; yet what crime, what danger was urged upon that noted Disciple? |
A45200 | Thou art God all- sufficient; what can we want when we want not thee? |
A45200 | Thou not long since saidst, I and my Father are one: Are ye now severed? |
A45200 | Thou who hadst said, One of you is a Devil, didst not now say, Avoid, Satan; but, Friend, wherefore art thou come? |
A45200 | Thus unconceivably heavy was the revenge: but what was the offence? |
A45200 | Thy Pulpit shall I call it, or thine Oratory? |
A45200 | To carve a man out of thine own dish, what could it seem to argue but a singularity of respect? |
A45200 | To what purpose did thy spear pierce so many hearts in that one? |
A45200 | To whom should we complain of any want, but to the Maker and Giver of all things? |
A45200 | To whom should we have recourse in all our spiritual complaints but to the agents and messengers of God? |
A45200 | To whom then dost thou send her? |
A45200 | Unto this, how weakly didst thou, because of Christ''s silent admission of the woman, suppose him ignorant of her quality? |
A45200 | WAS this then thy first Miracle, O Saviour, that thou wroughtest in Cana of Galilee? |
A45200 | WEll might these Wise men have suspected Herod''s Secrecy: If he had meant well, what needed that whispering? |
A45200 | WHat a Preface do I find to my Saviour''s Passion? |
A45200 | WHat a busie life was this of Christ''s? |
A45200 | WHat flocking there was after Christ which way soever he went? |
A45200 | Was it a modest kind of mannerliness in Martha, that she would not have Christ annoyed with the ill sent of that stale carkass? |
A45200 | Was it a question of applause, or of contempt, or of ignorance? |
A45200 | Was it because it had not been so great an advantage to thee that he should fall by thy means, as by his own? |
A45200 | Was it for that Martha, being the elder Sister, and the huswife of the family, might stir about with less observation? |
A45200 | Was it for that their malice held a quick dispatch too much Mercy? |
A45200 | Was it for that thou, who knewest thine own strength, knewest also their weakness? |
A45200 | Was it for that thy Disciples, being of thy robe, might justly seem interessed in the liberties of their Master? |
A45200 | Was it for that ye would not defile your selves with the contagion of an Heathen roof? |
A45200 | Was it for that, whilst they meant to be bloudy, they would fain seem just? |
A45200 | Was it for thy own sake; that the glory of the Miracle might thus come to light, which otherwise had been smothered in silence? |
A45200 | Was it in a mild taxation of her mistaking? |
A45200 | Was it in obedience to the Law? |
A45200 | Was it not then, as now, that the weakest soonest suffers; and impotency lays us open to the malice of an enemy? |
A45200 | Was it not with thy Father and thee as it was with thee and Moses? |
A45200 | Was it out of necessity? |
A45200 | Was it out of the strength of thy Faith, which assured thee thou neededst not shew thy Servant to him who saw all things? |
A45200 | Was it possible that the wit of Envy could devise so high a Slander? |
A45200 | Was it that our Saviour did not sit at the Feast,( after our fashion,) but, according to the then- Jewish and Roman fashion, lay on the one side? |
A45200 | Was it that the greatness of the voice might answer to the greatness of the work? |
A45200 | Was it that the guilty wretch upon the fact done subduced himself, and shrouded his false head under the wings of darkness? |
A45200 | Was it that the strength of the voice might answer to the strength of the affection? |
A45200 | Was it that thou couldst not so suddenly apprehend the odious depth of that Villany, and instantly hate him that had been thy old companion? |
A45200 | Was it that though Judas were more faulty, yet Malchus was more imperiously cruell? |
A45200 | Was it that thy amazedness as yet conceived not the purposed issue of this seizure, and astonishedly waited for the success? |
A45200 | Was it that thy heart misgave thee thou mightest be called to account for Malchus? |
A45200 | Was it the fear of Death? |
A45200 | Was it to shew thy liberty in not always equally exercising the power of thy Deity? |
A45200 | Was it to signifie that Lazarus his Soul was called from far; the speech must be loud that shall be heard in another world? |
A45200 | Was it to teach us that in the distribution of our goods we should expect his blessing, not in their intireness and reservation? |
A45200 | Was it to teach us that there is less danger in suffering then in outward prosperity? |
A45200 | Was not Jerusalem the Spouse of Christ? |
A45200 | Was not that Face fit to be spat upon, from the dreadfull aspect whereof ye are ready to desire the mountains to cover you? |
A45200 | Was not that Hand fit for a Reed, whose iron Scepter crushes you to death? |
A45200 | Was not that Head fit for your Thorns, which you now see crowned with Glory and Majesty? |
A45200 | Was not this one of those Swords of Simeon, which should pierce through thy tender breast? |
A45200 | Was not this( think we) out of similitude of condition? |
A45200 | Was there ever people under Heaven that was made so famous a spectacle of misery and desolation? |
A45200 | Was this measure fit to be offered to that Sacred Body that was conceived by the Holy Ghost of the pure substance of an immaculate Virgin? |
A45200 | Was this to shew thy liberty, or thy power? |
A45200 | We are as great sinners as the consorts of these Publicans, why should we despair of a room at thy Table? |
A45200 | We can cast away admiration upon the poor devices or activities of men; how much more upon the extraordinary works of Omnipotency? |
A45200 | We can soon be set, but whence shall we be served? |
A45200 | We have still the same conduct: Let the path be what it will, how can we miscarry in the hand of a Father? |
A45200 | We may rejoyce in others forwardness; but if we rest in it, how small joy shall it be to us, to see them go to Heaven without us? |
A45200 | We see the birds of the air provided for by him; how rarely have we found any of them dead of hunger? |
A45200 | Were there not ten cleansed? |
A45200 | Were these the terms that you heard from that Sacred mouth? |
A45200 | Were this example binding, who should be rich to give? |
A45200 | What Hill was this thou chosest but the mount of Olives? |

A45200 | What a difference there is betwixt the prayers of Faith, and the motions of Self- love and Infidelity? |

A45200 | What a plain difference there is betwixt the regenerate and evil heart? |
A45200 | What a pleasant kind of entire familiarity there is betwixt Christ and a good heart? |
A45200 | What a question was this? |
A45200 | What a scorn doth the Almighty God make of the impotent designs of men? |
A45200 | What a seeming impotence was here, that thou, who art the true Rock of thy Church, shouldst lie obscurely shrouded in Joseph''s rock? |
A45200 | What a self- conflicting and prodigious creature is a wicked man left over to his own thoughts? |
A45200 | What a service was here to be brought into a Feast, especially to a Woman? |

A45200 | What an hearty recognition of the blessing? |
A45200 | What an honour was done to John in this misprision? |

A45200 | Would ye wish a finer King? |
A45200 | Wouldst thou have thy sons preferred to the Father of the faithfull, to the blessed Mother of thy Saviour? |
A45200 | Ye undervalue your Master, O ye well- meaning Followers of Christ: A Prophet? |
A45200 | Yea, Lord, what have I but two mites, a Soul, and a Body? |
A45200 | Yea, O Blessed Saviour, how glorious was it for thee, how happy for us, that thou wert tempted? |
A45200 | Yea, how didst thou,( O Saviour) by whom Augustus reigned, in the womb of thy Mother yield this Homage to Augustus? |
A45200 | Yea,( which is yet more) how plain is it that these men forced their tongue to speak this slander against their own heart? |
A45200 | Yet how doth Herod dote on her, that for her sake he loads John with irons? |
A45200 | Yet it doth not always follow, If he sleep, he shall doe well: How many have died in lethargies? |
A45200 | Yet more Hypocrisy? |
A45200 | Yet they dare not but begin with leave, Master, wilt thou? |
A45200 | Yet what a sensible mixture is here of Faith and Distrust? |
A45200 | Yet what a thing is this, to hear the Devil at his prayers? |
A45200 | Yet, as if the matter had been strange to him, he lifts up himself, and says, Woman, where are thy accusers? |
A45200 | Yet, as not regarding their triumph, thou thus pourest out thy sorrow: and when so much is uttered, who can conceive what is felt? |
A45200 | ad quid diligitis vanitatem,& quaeritis mendacium? |
A45200 | and do they refuse thee for Barabbas? |
A45200 | and do they say, Not him, but Barabbas? |
A45200 | and do ye fear to be defiled with the touch of Pilate''s pavement? |
A45200 | and do you stick at a locall infection? |
A45200 | and dost thou now think to favour me with a reall opposition to this great and necessary work? |
A45200 | and hadst oft said within thy self, Here I shall once lie down to my last rest, and wait for my Resurrection? |
A45200 | and if I be risen with thee, why do I not seek the things above, where thou sittest at the right hand of God? |
A45200 | and if he were the Son of God, how could he die? |
A45200 | and if our life be a blessing, why should it not be celebrated? |
A45200 | and if they be sure, why do they question that which they know decided? |
A45200 | and laying all these together, with the miserable infirmities of his Passion, how wert thou crucified with him? |
A45200 | and then, when, in stead of giving security, he receives with one hand and pays with another, receives our bequest and gives us glory? |
A45200 | and to cast this aspersion on those whom God hath noted for holiness? |
A45200 | and what is chastisement but a real chiding? |
A45200 | and whereabouts rather then on the right side of the Altar? |
A45200 | and wherefore then wouldst thou pass by them, as if thou hadst intended nothing but their dismay? |
A45200 | and who could make the difference of Grace but he that gave it? |
A45200 | and why should we expect that the love of our God shall yield to fore- lay any benefit to the Soul? |
A45200 | and why this Angel? |
A45200 | any thing beyond the sphere of Divine Omnipotence? |
A45200 | but how few Martha''s? |
A45200 | but if the uncultured Fallow yield more, how justly is that unanswerable ground near to a curse? |
A45200 | but when we look down upon our sins and wickedness, how shall we express our shame? |
A45200 | but where are the nine? |
A45200 | but, How shall this be? |
A45200 | but, What have I to doe with thee? |
A45200 | but, Wilt thou that we command? |
A45200 | can we suppose they would have cared more for the Sabbath then for the Lord of the Sabbath, who now kept his Sabbath in the Grave? |
A45200 | canst thou regard them from whom thou willingly absentest thy self in their necessity? |
A45200 | canst thou think to scape so? |
A45200 | could there be ought more unfit? |
A45200 | couldst thou not wake with me one hour? |
A45200 | couldst thou think that those blear eyes of thine would endure the beams of the Sun, or that counterfeit slip, the fire? |
A45200 | did not another of them deny thee, yea abjure thee? |
A45200 | did not one of them rather leave his inmost coat behind him, then not be quit of thee? |
A45200 | didst thou not rather send down water from thy compassionate eyes, and weep for them by whom thou must bleed? |
A45200 | do I not hear the Evangelist say that Herod heard John gladly? |
A45200 | do we hear thee preach to us? |
A45200 | dost thou then shew favour to foul offenders? |
A45200 | doth that clear fountain of mercy run bloud? |
A45200 | from a Sacramental banquet,( the food of Angels) if we do not believe it will nourish our Souls? |
A45200 | from our best Devotions, if we do not perswade our selves they will fetch down blessings? |
A45200 | hath no man condemned thee? |
A45200 | have we a Saviour there? |
A45200 | he received a short answer, What is that to thee? |
A45200 | here Ease: of the superfluity of your sinfull Humours? |
A45200 | here Evacuation: of the impotency of your Obedience? |
A45200 | here Integrity: of the dead witheredness of good Affections? |
A45200 | here ye shall receive clearness of Sight: of the distemper of Passions? |

A45200 | how could they be dismay''d to see his Body now sweat, which they had then seen to shine? |

A45190 | Although I may not say with the Psalmist, What hath the righteous done? |
A45190 | Am I become your enemy because I tell you the truth? |
A45190 | Am I become your enemy, because I told you the truth? |
A45190 | An expert workman can not abide to be taught by a novice; how much less shall the all- wise God endure to be directed by his creature? |
A45190 | And can he that would give his own most precious blood for us, to save us from evil, wilfully give us over to evil? |
A45190 | And can we blame him if he bestowed the handsel of his speech upon the power that restored it? |
A45190 | And can we think, O Saviour, that thy Glory hath diminished ought of thy gracious respects to our beneficence? |
A45190 | And can we wonder to hear of noble victories atchieved by them, of Giants and Monsters slain by those hands that had so pious an initiation? |
A45190 | And could there be a greater Miracle then this, that having been thirty years upon earth, thou didst no miracle till now? |
A45190 | And could this Mystery be hid from the eyes of the Blessed Authours of this Sacrament? |
A45190 | And do we think thy goodness is impaired by thy glory? |
A45190 | And dost thou ask, O thou evil spirit? |
A45190 | And dost thou, O God, see what we give thee, and not see what we take away from thee? |
A45190 | And have ye not now felt, O Nation worthy of plagues, have ye not now felt what blood it was whose guilt ye affected? |
A45190 | And how dare we rush into the affaires of God or the State? |
A45190 | And how doth Saint Paul call that Church wherein Antichrist( he saith) shall sit, the Temple of God? |
A45190 | And how doth this become ours? |
A45190 | And how easie is it for the Almighty to still the enemy and avenger? |
A45190 | And how late was this? |
A45190 | And how modestly dost thou undertake it, without noise, without ostentation? |
A45190 | And how much more happy is it, to have dispelled the darknesse of the Soul then of the body; to be shined upon by the beams of Faith then of the Sun? |
A45190 | And how sure, how ready art thou, O Saviour, to speak in the cause of the dumb? |
A45190 | And if God''s hand touch him never so little, can his Gold bribe a disease, can his bags keep his head from aking, or the Gout from his joynts? |
A45190 | And if I be thus vexed with the touch of an angry File, Lord, how shall I be able to indure the sting of a tormenting Conscience? |
A45190 | And if Peter might not say so of this, how shall we say of any other place, Bonum est esse hîc, It is good to be here? |
A45190 | And if any Beauty could have all voices, what were this but a wast and worthless approbation? |
A45190 | And if every man violate all the laws of God, what do all put together? |
A45190 | And if he be so unwearied in his Favours, why are we weary of our Thanks? |
A45190 | And if he had not been more forward then his fellows, why had not his skin been as whole as theirs? |
A45190 | And if he must pray that he may doe it, how much more must he practice it when he can doe it? |
A45190 | And if he spoke this to retain them, how weak was it to think their absence would be for want of house- room? |
A45190 | And if our Parents do not, who else among the dead know what we doe, or what we suffer? |
A45190 | And if the Plebeians will be stubborn or uncivil and respectless, where is Honour? |
A45190 | And if the best of earth can not doe it, why will ye seek it in the worst? |
A45190 | And if the very handkerchief which touched his Apostles had power of cure, how much more that Water which the sacred body of Christ touched? |
A45190 | And if these two only Languages had been meant, why had it not been as easie to specifie them, as to intimate them by so large a circumlocution? |
A45190 | And if they will not give, yet will they not lend to God? |
A45190 | And if this terme were fit for my vileness, yet doth it become thy lips? |
A45190 | And is the hand of our God shortned? |
A45190 | And is this the state of these two Saints alone? |
A45190 | And must we now be cast out of the bosome of the Church, and be presently delivered up to fire and sword? |
A45190 | And now how am I conformable to thee, if when thou art risen I lie still in the grave of my Corruptions? |
A45190 | And now how happily was that doubt bestowed, which brought forth so faithful a confession, My Lord, my God? |
A45190 | And now what can remain, but the setting under of Vessels to receive the comfortable juice that shall flow from these so- well- husbanded clusters? |
A45190 | And now what doth it but call me to the thought of my parting? |
A45190 | And now what must be done? |
A45190 | And now what variety think you is there of several kinds? |
A45190 | And now, O blessed Jesu, how easily have carnal eyes all this while mistaken the passages and intentions of this thy last and most glorious work? |
A45190 | And now, since we are thus and every other way one, why are we not united in Love? |
A45190 | And now, what can the Flesh doe without the World, without the Devil? |
A45190 | And of all fruits, what is comparable to that of the Vine? |
A45190 | And shall we need to teach God how to frame his Church? |
A45190 | And since that, in my Latine Sermon to the Convocation, did I very ought from this hold? |
A45190 | And was it any better with the best Saints under the Gospel? |
A45190 | And we, why do not we as heartily labour to reclaim them, as they to withdraw us? |
A45190 | And were they not well served, think we? |
A45190 | And what Face is it that pleaseth all? |
A45190 | And what can hurt him that is blessed by Crosses, and is bettered by Sins? |
A45190 | And what can now secure them? |
A45190 | And what gives she? |
A45190 | And what honour do we place in slaughter? |
A45190 | And what if a mouse or other vermin should eat the Host? |
A45190 | And what if the desire of more audibleness raised him to his feet? |
A45190 | And what is that but fancies, mis- opinions, mis- judgment? |
A45190 | And what man can love to perish? |
A45190 | And what needed all this pageant of Cruelty? |
A45190 | And what of that? |
A45190 | And what other is our condition? |
A45190 | And what shall I need to tell you how loathsomely deformed these fashions of the world make us to appear in the sight of God? |
A45190 | And what was this other then a real Parable of thine? |
A45190 | And what work was thine but the hospital receit of thy Saviour and his train? |
A45190 | And when the score is struck off, what remains to pay? |
A45190 | And whence are ye just? |
A45190 | And wherefore doth this foul spirit urge a Text, but for imitation, for prevention, and for successe? |
A45190 | And why are all other creatures said to praise God, and bidden to praise him, but because they do it by the apprehension, by the expression of man? |
A45190 | And why are they thus troubled? |
A45190 | And why do not we follow Peter in the same steps wherein Peter followed Christ, and Christ his Fore- runner, and his Fore- runner the Prophets? |
A45190 | And why do not we learn wit and will of those that hate us? |
A45190 | And why do we not still follow thee, O Saviour, through desarts and mountains, over land and seas, that we may be both healed and taught? |
A45190 | And why dost not thou, O my Soul, help to bear thy part with that happy Quire of Heaven? |
A45190 | And why mightest not thou, who madest all things, take liberty to destroy a plant for thine own Glory? |
A45190 | And why not of Gold as well as of Grain? |
A45190 | And why not rather by his own hand to the multitude, that so the Miracle and thank might have been more immediate? |
A45190 | And why sent by him? |
A45190 | And why should our garments be of any other colour? |
A45190 | And why should the Christian Church have lesse power then the Jewish Synagogue? |
A45190 | And why should we not doe that which we are made for? |
A45190 | And why the Woman rather? |
A45190 | And why these? |
A45190 | And why this? |
A45190 | And would it boot ought to spend time in perswading these Calves that they are such? |
A45190 | And yet why should it more trouble me to see thee sinking under thy Crosse now, then to see thee anone hanging upon thy Crosse? |
A45190 | And, which is the head of all, how hath he brought our Vine out of the Egypt of Popish Superstition, and planted it? |
A45190 | Anointed? |
A45190 | Applause of his abettors, contempt of the Scribes and Pharisees, ignorance of the multitude? |
A45190 | Are any great Potentates of the earth secret or open persecutors of his Church? |
A45190 | Are any of you Great ones Benefactors to his Church? |
A45190 | Are not the Elements( the main stuffe of the world) contrary to each other in their forms and qualities? |
A45190 | Are not these of them that could say, Master, the evil spirits are subdued to us? |
A45190 | Are not these they that ejected Devils by their command? |
A45190 | Are our Offerings more noted then our Sacriledges? |
A45190 | Are there any of us pained with our heart of stone? |
A45190 | Are there any of us weary of carrying our old Adam about us? |
A45190 | Are there not twelve hours in the day, which are duely set and proceed regularly for the direction of all the motions and actions of men? |
A45190 | Are these grapes for a God? |
A45190 | Are these the fruits of his Choice, his Fencing, his Reforming, his Planting, his Watch- tower, his Winepresse? |
A45190 | Are they bidden to adore a God which they know the baker made? |
A45190 | Are they bidden to forswear their Allegiance, and to take armes against their Lawful and native Soveraign? |
A45190 | Are they not sour and wilde Grapes that we have yielded? |
A45190 | Are we afflicted? |
A45190 | Are we lesse deep in the Sins of Israel then in Israel''s Blessings? |
A45190 | Are we more orthodox, and shall not we be as charitable? |
A45190 | Are we naturally timorous? |
A45190 | Are we pinched with want? |
A45190 | Are we therefore preserved from the malignity of these powers of darkness? |
A45190 | Are ye godly, that care to know any thing rather then God and spiritual things? |
A45190 | Are ye godly, that have neither ability nor will to serve that God whom ye fashionably pretend to know? |
A45190 | Are ye not afraid he will wrest the Scepter out of Caesar''s hand? |
A45190 | Are ye now also at rest, O ye Jewish Rulers? |
A45190 | Art thou come to torment us before our time? |
A45190 | Art thou rather pleased that grosse sins should be blanched, and sent away with a gentle connivency? |
A45190 | Art thou the Pilot of the Churches peace, and talkest of nothing but glittering helmets, swords and spears, instruments of war& bloodshed? |
A45190 | Art thou the Prophet of God that so disdainfully entertainest poor suppliants? |
A45190 | As all sin is originally from the Devil, so especially Hypocrisie: he is the father of Lies; and what is Hypocrisie but a real Lie? |
A45190 | As contrarily, what an uncomfortable thing is Darknesse? |
A45190 | As for orall Traditions, what certainty can there be in them? |
A45190 | As if that shameless man meant to outbrave all accusations, and to outface his own heart, he dares ask too, Master, is it I? |
A45190 | As those friendly Souldiers therefore of old said to their fellows, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉; why fight we? |
A45190 | At tu, Domine, usque quò? |
A45190 | At whose board did he ever sit, and left not his host a gainer? |
A45190 | Aut nunquid de quadrupedibus hisce in Gallia stabulantibus dictum tibi pridem coelitus, Occide& Manduca? |
A45190 | Because fools jear thee, dost thou forbear thy work? |
A45190 | Before, the Devil had spoken singularly of himself, What have I to doe with thee? |
A45190 | Behold the man; the man whom ye envied for his greatnesse, whom ye feared for his usurpation: Doth he not look like a King? |
A45190 | Being thus acknowledged, what suit is so fit for him as mercy? |
A45190 | Besides his own, what favour was he worthy of for his Masters sake? |
A45190 | Besides this undervaluation, how unjust is the ground of this doubt? |
A45190 | Besides, how injuriously dost thou take this woman for what she was? |
A45190 | Besides, how uncertain must our Devotions needs be, when we can have no possible assurance of their audience? |
A45190 | Blessed God, how marvelously dost thou contrive thine own affaires? |
A45190 | Blessed Jesu, how thou pittiest the errors and infirmities of thy servants? |
A45190 | Blessed Jesu, if as Man thou wouldst be made a little lower then the Angels; how can it disparage thee to be attended and cheared up by an Angel? |
A45190 | Blessed Jesu, who are those? |
A45190 | Both which cleared, what have I done? |
A45190 | Brethren, since our Religion is one, why are not our tongues one? |
A45190 | But all this can not deliver thee from the just blame of this bold subincusation; Lord, dost thou not care? |
A45190 | But all this while what part hath the Moon in this mans misery? |
A45190 | But art thou, O Saviour, ever the more discouraged by the derision and censure of these scornfull unbelievers? |
A45190 | But besides the natural tone, have we not heard Birds taught so to imitate the voice of men, that they have received replies, as not distinguished? |
A45190 | But did he say, No sin shall be remitted but what ye remit? |
A45190 | But do we deale thus roughly with the followers of the Roman Religion? |
A45190 | But do you not say, It is a true visible Church? |
A45190 | But fearing the true reproach cast by Job in his friends teeth, Will ye speak wickedly for God, and talk deceitfully for him? |
A45190 | But for us; tell me, ye that hear me this day, are ye Christians in earnest, or are ye not? |
A45190 | But his domestical fare how simple, how homely it is? |
A45190 | But how gladly doe we second the Angel in the praise of her, which was more ours then his? |
A45190 | But how ill guests were these? |
A45190 | But how is this renewing wrought, and wherein doth it consist? |
A45190 | But how modestly dost thou discover thy Deity to thy Disciples? |
A45190 | But if Herod were troubled,( as Tyranny is still suspicious) why was all Hierusalem troubled with him? |
A45190 | But if Sexes be known by cloaths, what is become of Degrees? |
A45190 | But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: when is that? |
A45190 | But is it the name of Elias( O ye Zelots) which ye pretend for a colour of your impotent desire? |
A45190 | But much more what is the light of that infinitely- resplendent Sun of Righteousnesse, who gave that light to the Sun, that Sun to the world? |
A45190 | But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? |
A45190 | But now what a demonstration of power doth both the world and I see in thy glorious Resurrection? |
A45190 | But oh, what a wofull thing it is to consider, and how may we bemone our selves to Heaven and earth, that yet men will not be transformed? |
A45190 | But oh, what tongue of the highest Archangel of Heaven can express the welcome of thee the King of Glory into those Blessed Regions of Immortality? |
A45190 | But say it had been what they mistook it for, a Spirit; why should they fear? |
A45190 | But should these things be so? |
A45190 | But to man, how ever favourable and indulgent wert thou? |
A45190 | But to rise higher then a change: Is it not an act of Omnipotencie to create? |
A45190 | But to what purpose is the fruitfulnesse, fencing, stoning, if the ground yield a plentifull crop of Briers, Thistles, Weeds? |
A45190 | But to what purpose should it be fenced with stones without, if it be choked with stones within? |
A45190 | But to whom dost thou make this moan, O thou Saviour of men? |
A45190 | But what ailes you, O ye Rulers of Israel, that ye stand thus thronging at the door? |
A45190 | But what an unpleasing and unseasonable subject am I fallen upon, to speak of Hell in a Christian Court, the embleme of Heaven? |
A45190 | But what do I seek any other Author then the Lord of Life himself? |
A45190 | But what is that one Faith? |
A45190 | But what is this I hear? |
A45190 | But what is this I see? |
A45190 | But what is this to S. Paul''s Combat? |
A45190 | But what need allegations to prove a yielded truth? |
A45190 | But what of all this now? |
A45190 | But what shall I say of so sharp and imperious an act from so meek an Agent? |
A45190 | But what shall I say to you Courtiers, but even as Saint Paul to his Corinthians, Ye are full, ye are rich, ye are strong without us? |
A45190 | But what shall I say( Honorable and Beloved?) |
A45190 | But what shall we say to this thine early hunger? |
A45190 | But what strange variety do I see in the spectators of his Miracle, some wondring, others censuring, a third sort tempting, a fourth applauding? |
A45190 | But what strive we in this? |
A45190 | But what was this other then to serve a prentiship in the house of bondage? |
A45190 | But what would it avail the ground to be fruitfull, if it be unfenced, that the wilde Boar or the Foxes may spoil it? |
A45190 | But what? |
A45190 | But what? |
A45190 | But when once they jarre and check each other, either jangling together, or striking preposterously, how harsh and unpleasing is that noise? |
A45190 | But where am I? |
A45190 | But where wert thou, O blessed Jesu, for the space of these three daies? |
A45190 | But whither then? |
A45190 | But who can tell whether that silence or this answer be more grievous? |
A45190 | But whom do I see wondring? |
A45190 | But whom have ye reproched and blasphemed? |
A45190 | But why did he sigh? |
A45190 | But why didst thou curse a poor tree for the want of that fruit which the season yielded not? |
A45190 | But why didst thou not, O Centurion, rather bring thy Servant to Christ for cure, then sue for him absent? |
A45190 | But why do I wonder to finde this unquiet disposition in a brute creature, when it is no news with the reasonable? |
A45190 | But why fera arundinis, the beast of the reeds? |
A45190 | But why should not Grace and Truth be as successfull in dilating it self to the gaining of many hearts? |
A45190 | But why then, O Saviour, why didst thou thus inquire, thus expostulate? |
A45190 | But why to them? |
A45190 | But will not this seem to savour of too much indifferency? |
A45190 | But withall let me adde onely one disswasive from the danger, implyed in the very word Save, for how are we saved but from a danger? |
A45190 | But withall, where is it? |
A45190 | But would they have the Priest shrieve himself to the penitent, as well as the penitent to the Priest? |
A45190 | But you say, What is this but to play with ambiguities? |
A45190 | But( as all motions have their termes) what is that into which we must be transformed? |
A45190 | But, O Blessed Virgin, who can express the sorrows of thy perplexed Soul, when all that evening search could afford thee no news of thy Son Jesus? |
A45190 | But, O Saviour, how doth this agree? |
A45190 | But, O Saviour, may I presume to ask what this is to thee? |
A45190 | But, O Saviour, whiles thou dignifiest them in thy grant, dost thou disparage thy self in thy denial? |
A45190 | But, as c all beginnings are timorous, how d calmly did he enter? |
A45190 | But, good Lord, how apt men are to raise or believe lies for their own advantage? |
A45190 | By whose hands perished the Prophets? |
A45190 | Can I bring him back again? |
A45190 | Can I chuse but wonder how Peter could thus strike unwounded? |
A45190 | Can a Leopard change his spots, or a Blackmore his skin? |
A45190 | Can men be so sottish to think that the vowed enemie of their Souls can offer them a bait without an hook? |
A45190 | Can neither the silence of Christ nor his deniall silence her? |
A45190 | Can not he in whose hands are the issues of death, bring her back again? |
A45190 | Can there be a better Law made for the restraint of too- too common Oathes? |
A45190 | Can there be a greater sin then Idolatry? |
A45190 | Can there be a greater sin then robbing of God? |
A45190 | Can there be better Laws against wilful Recusancy, against Simony, against Sacriledge? |
A45190 | Can there be here any danger of self- sacrificing with Sejanus, and not rather the just danger of our shame and confusion in our selves? |
A45190 | Can there possibly be better Laws then have in our times been enacted against Drunkenness? |
A45190 | Can they begin their will, In Dei nomine, Amen; and give nothing to God? |
A45190 | Can we bequeath our Souls to Christ in Heaven, and give nothing to his Lims on earth? |
A45190 | Can we blame him, when the free- hold of their Great Mistresse is so nearly touched? |
A45190 | Can we marvel that Zacheus received Christ joyfully? |
A45190 | Can we think him so in love with our persons, that he will overlook or digest our crimes? |
A45190 | Can we, dare we impute ill husbandry to the God of Heaven? |
A45190 | Can ye so converse with leud good fellows, as that ye represse their sins, redresse their exorbitances, win them to God? |
A45190 | Canst thou be so injurious to me as to think I yield, because I want aid to resist? |
A45190 | Canst thou be so weak as to imagine that this Suffering of mine is not free and voluntary? |
A45190 | Canst thou distrust the certainty of that dreadfull menace of vengeance? |
A45190 | Canst thou dream waking thus to avoid the charge of thy wives dream? |
A45190 | Canst thou love those thou regardest not? |
A45190 | Causam tu nostram age, ô Deus, imò tuam, tuam solius: Quidni te provocet arbitrum audax innocentia? |
A45190 | Certainly, God made man upright, as in shape, so in disposition: What wrought this miserable Metamorphosis? |
A45190 | Come down? |
A45190 | Constituted? |
A45190 | Could Joseph now chuse but think, Is this the King that must save Israel, that needs to be saved by me? |
A45190 | Could she be in a safer place then before the Tribunal of a Saviour? |
A45190 | Could there be a meaner? |
A45190 | Could there be a more ignorant Paralogisme then this wherewith the foolish Jews beguiled themselves? |
A45190 | Could there be a more just cause wherein to draw his sword then in thy quarrell? |
A45190 | Could there be an affection more worth incouragement then the love to such a Master? |
A45190 | Could thy fellows see such a demonstration of Power and Goodnesse with unrelenting hearts? |
A45190 | Could we but speak for our selves, as this Captain did for his servant, what could we possibly want? |
A45190 | Could ye suppose that I would condemn any man unheard? |
A45190 | Couldst thou but( Oh that thou couldst) look within that veile, how shouldst thou be ravisht with that blissefull sight? |
A45190 | Did David lose his right by the Rebellion of the people under his son Absalom? |
A45190 | Did I flie upon thee otherwise then with my prayers and tears? |
A45190 | Did I not cast the fault upon their violence, not our will? |
A45190 | Did I not once before call thee Satan for suggesting to me this immunity from my Passion? |
A45190 | Did I not there call heaven& earth to record of our innocence in separating from the Romane Church? |
A45190 | Did I snarl or bark at thee, when I called thee the Son of David? |
A45190 | Did John take the ear and heart of Herod, and doth Herod binde the hands and feet of John? |
A45190 | Did ever any Ephesian beast bray out such another challenge? |
A45190 | Did ever any man that ran for a prize, say, I will keep up with the rest? |
A45190 | Did ever man doe thus to beast? |
A45190 | Did he chuse you out of all the kingdomes of the earth, and do ye wilfully reject him? |
A45190 | Did he empty himself of his Celestial Glory, and put on weak Manhood and all the symptoms of wretched Mortality; and do ye despise him for this Mercy? |
A45190 | Did his Love make him humble, that his Humility should make him contemptible? |
A45190 | Did not another of them deny thee, yea abjure thee? |
A45190 | Did not one of them rather leave his inmost coat behind him, then not be quit of thee? |
A45190 | Did or could ever any eye pity them? |
A45190 | Did they not run from thee? |
A45190 | Did we ever rage against the Popish Faith with fire and sword? |
A45190 | Did ye not live( many of you) to see your City buried in ashes, and drowned in blood? |
A45190 | Didst thou call for fire from Heaven upon them? |
A45190 | Didst thou not see how easie it had been for me to have blown away these poor forces of my adversaries? |
A45190 | Do I mistake it, or are those stones, not Flints and Pebbles, but Diamonds& Rubies and Carbuncles to set upon thy Crown of Glory? |
A45190 | Do the enemies of the Church rage and snuffe, and breath nothing but threats and death? |
A45190 | Do we finde our selves haunted with the familiar Devils of Pride, Self- love, Sensual desires, Unbelief? |
A45190 | Do we groan on the bed of our sicknesse, and languishing in pain complain of long hours and weary sides? |
A45190 | Do we not offer every day? |
A45190 | Do we pray to thee? |
A45190 | Do we think she spared her search? |
A45190 | Do we think that Christ hath no Rebels but Jews? |
A45190 | Do ye complain of the Blindness of your Ignorance? |
A45190 | Do ye live willingly in your sins? |
A45190 | Do ye long to be stained with blood, with the blood of God? |
A45190 | Do ye not mark how this note is changed? |
A45190 | Do ye not now see that he who made your heart, knows it, and anticipates your fond thoughts with the same breath? |

A45190 | Wouldst thou have thy sons preferred to the Father of the faithfull, to the blessed Mother of thy Saviour? |
A45190 | Ye undervalue your Master, O ye well- meaning Followers of Christ: A Prophet? |
A45190 | Yea how didst thou( O Saviour) by whom Augustus reigned, in the Womb of thy Mother yield this homage to Augustus? |
A45190 | Yea how many that have hardly crawled out from a desperate shipwrack, will yet be trying the fidelity of that unsure and untrusty Element? |
A45190 | Yea what is the World but a composition of atomes? |
A45190 | Yea( which is yet more) how plain is it that these men forced their tongue to speak this slander against their own heart? |
A45190 | Yea, Lord, what have I but two mites, a Soul, and a Body? |
A45190 | Yea, O blessed Saviour, how glorious was it for thee, how happy for us, that thou wert tempted? |
A45190 | Yea, what speak I of these Puppets? |
A45190 | Yet as not regarding their triumph, thou thus powrest out thy sorrow: and when so much is uttered, who can conceive what is felt? |
A45190 | Yet how doth Herod dote on her, that for her sake he loads John with irons? |
A45190 | Yet it doth not alwaies follow, If he sleep, he shall doe well: How many have dyed in Lethargies? |
A45190 | Yet more Hypocrisie? |
A45190 | Yet they dare not but begin with leave, Master, wilt thou? |
A45190 | Yet what a painfull wound hath it given me? |
A45190 | Yet what a sensible mixture is here of Faith& Distrust? |
A45190 | Yet what a thing is this, to hear the Devil at his prayers? |
A45190 | Yet, alas, what can earthly advancement make us other then we are, dust and ashes; which the higher it is blown, the more it is scattered? |
A45190 | Yet, as if the matter had been strange to him, he lifts up himself, and saies, Woman, where are thy accusers? |
A45190 | Zachary and Elizabeth are just, both of Aarons blood, and John Baptist of theirs: whence should an holy seed spring if not of the Loyns of Levi? |
A45190 | a Play if you will: What speak you of weeping for sins? |
A45190 | a To whom will ye liken God? |
A45190 | a grievous burden I confess, and that which is able to weigh us down to Hell: do we groan under the load, and long to be eased? |
A45190 | ad quid diligitis vanitatem,& quaeritis mendacium? |
A45190 | and against whom have ye exalted your voice, and lift up your eyes on high? |
A45190 | and do they refuse thee for Barabbas? |
A45190 | and do they say, Not him, but Barabbas? |
A45190 | and do ye fear to be defiled with the touch of Pilate''s pavement? |
A45190 | and dost thou now think to favour me with a reall opposition to this great and necessary work? |
A45190 | and dost thou say, My Dove, my undefiled? |
A45190 | and ere morning, when I have wearied my restlesse bed, how glad am I to rise and renew my labour? |
A45190 | and hadst oft said within thy self, Here I shall once lye down to my last rest, and wait for my Resurrection? |
A45190 | and how exalted with desire and hope of his own speed? |
A45190 | and how well will it become us to follow so pious, so gracious an example? |
A45190 | and if I be risen with thee, why do I not seek the things above, where thou sittest at the right hand of God? |
A45190 | and if he had not seen it useful, why did he not then spare the labour and cost of so needless an element? |
A45190 | and if he were the Son of God, how could he die? |
A45190 | and if our life be a blessing, why should it not be celebrated? |
A45190 | and if they be sure, why do they question that which they know decided? |
A45190 | and laying all these together, with the miserable infirmities of his Passion, how wert thou crucified with him? |
A45190 | and straight, Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garment like him that treadeth in the wine- press? |
A45190 | and then, when in stead of giving security, he receives with one hand and payes with another, receives our bequest and gives us glory? |
A45190 | and those are remitted: For God''s elect? |
A45190 | and to cast this aspersion on those whom God hath noted for holiness? |
A45190 | and what Witch could this be but the old Circe of the world, Sensuality? |
A45190 | and what is chastisement but a reall chiding? |
A45190 | and what other is our honest Sincerity, then those gracefull proportions and colours which make us appear lovely in the eyes of God? |
A45190 | and what reeling and staggering in our streets? |
A45190 | and when we have it, what a poor puffe is this? |
A45190 | and whereabout rather then on the right side of the Altar? |
A45190 | and wherefore serves that glorious Guard of Angels, which have by Divine Commission taken upon them the charge of thine Humanity? |
A45190 | and wherefore then wouldest thou passe by them, as if thou hadst intended nothing but their dismay? |
A45190 | and who can willingly part from what he loves? |
A45190 | and who could make the difference of Grace but he that gave it? |
A45190 | and why should we exspect that the love of our God shall yield to forelay any benefit to the Soul? |
A45190 | and why this Angel? |
A45190 | and with what inexspectable, unconceivable mercy were they answered? |
A45190 | and with what submiss Supplications did he sue for redress? |
A45190 | and yet how adored every where? |
A45190 | any thing beyond the sphere of Divine Omnipotence? |
A45190 | are your lives filthy? |
A45190 | as, indeed, how wonderfull is his Wisdome and Goodness in all his purveiances? |
A45190 | at what distance doth he see us? |
A45190 | but among all deaths in crucifying? |
A45190 | but how? |
A45190 | but if the uncultured fallow yield more, how justly is that unanswerable ground near to a curse? |
A45190 | but that in all these we should still daily re- acknowledge our new obligations to the giver? |
A45190 | but what a nothing is the possession of a Subject? |
A45190 | but when we look down upon our sins and wickedness, how shall we expresse our shame? |
A45190 | but where are the nine? |
A45190 | but, How shall this be? |
A45190 | but, Is it lawful? |
A45190 | but, What have I to doe with thee? |
A45190 | but, Wilt thou that we command? |
A45190 | but, more, that I have not done? |
A45190 | by Creation: and how is he created? |
A45190 | can we suppose they would have cared more for the Sabbath then for the Lord of the Sabbath, who now kept his Sabbath in the Grave? |
A45190 | canst thou regard them from whom thou willingly absentest thy self in their necessity? |
A45190 | canst thou think to escape so? |
A45190 | care ye not for your Souls? |
A45190 | could there be ought more unfit? |
A45190 | couldst thou not wake with me one hour? |
A45190 | couldst thou think that those blear eyes of thine would indure the beams of the Sun, or that counterfeit slip, the fire? |
A45190 | didst thou not rather send down water from thy compassionate eyes, and weep for them by whom thou must bleed? |
A45190 | do I not hear the Evangelist say that Herod heard John gladly? |
A45190 | do they not know that Hypocrites, leud persons, Reprobates, are no less members of the true visible Church? |
A45190 | do we hear thee preach to us? |
A45190 | do we think thus to shake off the yoak of Christ? |
A45190 | do ye thus requite the Lord? |
A45190 | dost thou challenge the Lord of Heaven and earth of incogitancy and neglect? |
A45190 | dost thou feather the Raven with the wings of the Dove? |
A45190 | doth he give out? |
A45190 | e We have all therefore, Brethren, received of his fulness; of the fulness of his Mercy, of the abundance of his Goodness have we received: What? |
A45190 | even with the long white robes which are the justifications of Saints? |
A45190 | eyes full of lust, itching ears, scurrilous tongues, bloody hands, hearts full of wickedness, and yet dead? |
A45190 | f If thou shalt mark the iniquities even of thine Elect, saith S. Bernard, Who shall abide it? |
A45190 | for who can know that a Saint hears him? |
A45190 | from a Sacramental banquet( the food of Angels) if we do not believe it will nourish our Souls? |
A45190 | from our best Devotions, if we do not perswade our selves they will fetch down blessings? |
A45190 | gratuita sunt, Why do we spare thanks that cost us nothing? |
A45190 | h Who shall lay anything to the charge of Gods Elect? |
A45190 | had we been also surprized in those acts, where had we been? |
A45190 | hath it raised us up from the grave of our sins, ejected our hellish corruptions, changed our wicked natures, new created our hearts? |
A45190 | hath no man condemned thee? |
A45190 | have they delivered Samaria out of my hand? |
A45190 | have we a Saviour there, or have we none? |
A45190 | he received a short answer, What is that to thee? |
A45190 | here Ease: of the superfluity of your sinful Humors? |
A45190 | here Evacuation: of the impotency of your Obedience? |
A45190 | here Integrity: of the Dead witheredness of good Affections? |
A45190 | here ye shall receive clearness of Sight: of the distemper of Passions? |
