A52045 | Mark now what follows, But unto the wicked, saith God, what hast thou to do to take my covenant into thy mouth? |
A52045 | Now let your servant be bold with you, what glory and honour do you return to God? |
A52045 | Quid retribuam? |
A52045 | Then had the Churches rest and peace; and what use made they of their peace? |
A52045 | Was this thankfulnesse? |
A52045 | What shouldest thou now do? |
A52045 | What then is to be done? |
A52045 | Who can utter these mighty works of the Lord, who can shew forth all his praise? |
A52045 | With what admiring thoughts are your hearts filled? |
A52045 | bite the stone( like a dog) that strooke thee? |
A52045 | contend with the instrument? |
A52045 | how strongly have you engaged and consecrated your selves and all which you have for his service and glory? |
A52045 | or wherewith shall we be thankfull? |
A52045 | what Reformation appears in your hearts and lives? |
A52045 | what cost are you at for this God? |
A52045 | who required these things at thy hands? |
A52043 | And many other expressions, as if Saint Iohn knew no other evidence but Love; now what Love is it? |
A52043 | As first, Are all they cursed that doe not thus helpe the Lord against the mighty? |
A52043 | But concerning these, if there should be any such here by what name or title shall I call them? |
A52043 | But whence is it that Prayer becomes thus efficacious? |
A52043 | By what injurie hath the Lord provoked thee thus against him? |
A52043 | Canst thou make thy forces strong enough to carry the day? |
A52043 | Hath not God done them all almost by contraries? |
A52043 | Have not you been many times at a losse, even at your wits end? |
A52043 | Have they been done by your wisdome and forecast, or for any worthinesse found in your selves? |
A52043 | How many others with Balaam, doe what in them lies to curse them for reward, who for very malice raile upon and revile the children of the most High? |
A52043 | Iacob wrastled with God, and prevailed: What was his wrastling? |
A52043 | On the other side, Go ye cursed ▪ Why are they cursed? |
A52043 | Secondly, for exhortation to all, especially to you Right honourable, and beloved; What words shall I use? |
A52043 | There is comfort in doing good to one, but to advance the good of many, especially of the Church of God, how honourable, how glorious is it? |
A52043 | They came not to the helpe of the Lord against the Mighty, Who are these Mighty? |
A52043 | What can not Prayer doe? |
A52043 | What fruit? |
A52043 | What greater evidence can there be in the world, that men are blessed or cursed, than this? |
A52043 | What honour or reward dost thou expect for this desperate service? |
A52043 | What hope hast thou of speeding? |
A52043 | What is there in the submissions and supplications of poor worms to work such wonders? |
A52043 | What made Jael such a blessed woman? |
A52043 | What shall we thinke of these men? |
A52043 | What should I say more? |
A52043 | What was the good that Hezekiah had done? |
A52043 | What was the house- hold of Stephanus? |
A52043 | What was the strength, whereby, as a Prince, he had power with God? |
A52043 | Who was Meroz, and what people were they? |
A52043 | how willingly would yee continue to spend, and to bee spent in so good worke? |
A52043 | to know no crosse but the Churches crosse? |
A52043 | to preferre the joy of the Church before all his owne peace and wellfare? |
A52043 | what evils are his righteous servants guilty of against thee? |
A52043 | what glory is in these things? |
A52043 | what hurt hath Christ done to thee? |
A52043 | what iniquitie hast thou found in him? |
A52043 | what then are they, who instead of helping the Lord against the mighty, do help the mighty against the Lord? |
A52051 | 8. no expresse law against Polygamy, no expresse command for the celebration of a weekly Sabbath; are therefore Christians free in all these cases? |
A52051 | And concerning these, there are two sorts of questions: First, Whether any Infants at all are to bee Baptized? |
A52051 | But what benefit comes to children by such kind of sealing as this is? |
A52051 | Can any man forbid water that these should not bee baptized, who have rece ● ved the Holy Ghost as well as wee? |
A52051 | Could every one of them promise to himself that Christ should be born of his flesh? |
A52051 | Doe the Gods you have chosen to serve, provide better things then these, that you renounce Christ for their sakes? |
A52051 | For as much as God gave them the like gift as hee did unto us, what was I that I could withstand God? |
A52051 | How should this ingage all Christian Parents to look to the education of their Children, to bring them up in the nurture and feare of the Lord? |
A52051 | Is there any Argument or proofe in this? |
A52051 | Let me a little reason the case with you, Doe you know into what a Covenant the Lord hath taken you? |
A52051 | Now tell me what is the reason of your unanswerable conversation, is it because you renounce the Covenant, as being made when you understood it not? |
A52051 | Or every one of their women that she should be the Mother of Christ? |
A52051 | Secondly, Supposing some have right to it, yet it''s greatly disputed, whose Infants may bee Baptized? |
A52051 | What strength of reason is in this? |
A52051 | Whether the Infants of beleeving Parents, the Infants of Saints, are to be admitted to the Holy Sacrament? |
A52051 | can any sober Christian thinke this a small fault? |
A52051 | can we think our condemnation not to be greater then theirs? |
A52051 | have not your Ministers and Parents instructed you in it? |
A52051 | or where and how do you hope to find better things, then God to be your Father, Christ Jesus to bee your Saviour, the Spirit to bee your Comforter? |
A52051 | that he should bee your God, and you remain the Devils servant? |
A52051 | that he should love you, and you hate him? |
A52051 | that he should provide Heaven for you, and you walk in the way which leads to Hell? |
A52051 | they having not the use of reason, and not knowing what the Covenant meanes? |
A52051 | to have your sins pardoned and healed, to be adopted, justifyed, sanctifyed, and every way comfortably provided for here, and saved for ever? |
A52051 | what disadvantage have you met withall? |
A52051 | what he hath done for you, and expects from you? |
A52051 | what hurt is there in it? |
A52051 | 〈 ◊ 〉 any at all are to bee Baptized? |
A89567 | ( saith the Prophet in the 66 of Isaiah:) What is that? |
A89567 | And the like hath the Prophet Zachary, What art thou, O great mountain? |
A89567 | And what was the work that hee did there? |
A89567 | Are there not other Empires and States, more pompous, and powerfull, and glorious, and excellent then Zion? |
A89567 | But saith one, Who is the Father of the Prophets? |
A89567 | But who is he, or where is he, that in his heart dare think such a thing? |
A89567 | But why doth he then so delay it? |
A89567 | Doth the Lord appeare in his glory when he builds up Zion? |
A89567 | For( saith he) Why should there be wrath upon the Realme of the King, and his Sons? |
A89567 | Is Saul amongst the Prophets? |
A89567 | It is true, the gates of Hell doe alwayes appeare with all their wisdome and strength against it, but what of that? |
A89567 | Secondly, and by what Instruments doe you thinke the Lord doth build it? |
A89567 | Who hath hegotten me these? |
A89567 | and on the other side, when ready to sinke, how unexpectedly hath he raised our hopes? |
A89567 | and what are their Tooles? |
A89567 | and what is the work? |
A89567 | as he said of Abana and Parphar, were they not better rivers then all the rivers of Samaria? |
A89567 | for he is small, our money failes us, our Trade is gone, yea, in many places Ordinances faile us, mens hearts are discouraged; what shall we doe? |
A89567 | how shall I make thee as Sodom? |
A89567 | must there not be a space between seed- time and harvest? |
A89567 | of a Nation that was borne in a day: Shall the earth be made to bring forth in a day? |
A89567 | or shall a child be begotten and born in a day? |
A89567 | that is thus glorious in his apparell: travelling in the greatnesse of his strength? |
A89567 | these, where have they been? |
A89567 | what art thou before my servants the builders? |
A89567 | what deep conspiracies hath he detected? |
A89567 | what is Zion to Nineveh or Babylon, that all must so stand amazed at the reparation of it? |
A89567 | what is hee that appeares in thus much glory? |
A89567 | what victories hath he bestowed? |
A89567 | what was the glory? |
A89567 | who are his Work- men? |
A89567 | who hath brought up these? |
A89567 | who hath knowne the minde of the Lord, or who hath beene his Counsellour? |
A89567 | who hath seen such things? |
A89567 | who is this? |
A89583 | And doe you thus also for your immortast soules? |
A89583 | Are you not like David in his old age, when no cloths could make him warm? |
A89583 | Can wee by searching finde out the Almighty? |
A89583 | Doe you not drive like Iehu, furiously, as if you would break your Chariot wheeles into peeces? |
A89583 | Doth not the Scripture say, it is easie? |
A89583 | First, for mourning: Doe all that are rightly affected with the Kingdome of Heaven, offer violence to it, in this way that I have discover''d to you? |
A89583 | For your wealth, or your pleasure, or your honour? |
A89583 | How sadly doth this speak against the generality of people? |
A89583 | It may be demanded, First, What use is there of a violent spirit in the pursuit of the Kingdome of Heaven? |
A89583 | Vt jugulent homines surgunt de nocte latrones, If theeves watch by night to kill men, shall not honest men watch to preserve their own lives? |
A89583 | What seasonable Mercies hath he sent you? |
A89583 | What unexpected victories hath he given you? |
A89583 | and if it bee so, quors ● m haec? |
A89583 | and to what purpose then is that violence of the spirit? |
A89583 | are you not like Snailes in the pursuit of the things of Gods Kingdom? |
A89583 | are you not like the Egyptians when their Chariet wheeles were taken off, when they drove slowly and heavily? |
A89583 | did you goe as children doe, to see rattles and toyes? |
A89583 | doe you not thus for the world? |
A89583 | doth any mans eagernesse and violence of spirit purchase this at Gods hand? |
A89583 | how doe they sell all? |
A89583 | how sad then is the condition of most in England this day? |
A89583 | is it in our power, by our labour to carry it? |
A89583 | is not all in this work of Gods free Grace, who shewes mercy to whom hee will shew mercy? |
A89583 | is this Race to the swift? |
A89583 | no, but wee went to see and heare Iohn the Baptist; and what in him? |
A89583 | or this Battle to the strong? |
A89583 | say every one for your owne soules, doth your conscience witnesse, that you offer violence to the Kingdome of Heaven? |
A89583 | to what purpose should violence be ufed, to take a Fort, that will be taken without violence? |
A89583 | was it a Reed shaken with the wind? |
A52050 | And now( Honorable and Beloved) in such sad& uncomfortable times as these are, what have the Heads of our Israel to doe? |
A52050 | And what have our Heads to doe at such a time? |
A52050 | But what have our Heads and Rulers to doe in that? |
A52050 | Did you then thus know the times? |
A52050 | Have not most of us lived all our dayes, as if God had made us for the World, as Leviathan for the Sea, onely to take our pleasure in it? |
A52050 | In the beginning of our publique troubles, our question was, by whom shall England arise now it is thus low? |
A52050 | Now( beloved) have you known your times, and taken your opportunities? |
A52050 | O how much of our pretious time have they devoured and wee regard it not? |
A52050 | O what cause of lamentations is there: First, In generall to us all? |
A52050 | Should this bee a time of jollitie? |
A52050 | There is one more, and that is, A Use of Exhortation; Is this so excellent and necessary a dutie, to know the times in reference to our duties? |
A52050 | VVhat gratious man who understands this, would ever pray to God in his Chamber without remembring you, and your work? |
A52050 | Verses, after this manner, How doe you say you are wise? |
A52050 | Wee demanded, where shall wee finde Captaines and Commanders for a warre in a Nation where all men have been bred in ease and peace? |
A52050 | What then is to be done? |
A52050 | Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a foole to buy wisedome, seeing he hath no heart to it? |
A52050 | and if so, have you beene humbled under these things? |
A52050 | certainly all people should tremble when God is angry; The Lyon roares, what beast doth not tremble? |
A52050 | did not you thereby helpe to pull downe those judgements that have beene like to devoure and destroy this whole Land? |
A52050 | did you know what God expected from you in your places, and have you done it? |
A52050 | did you then walke as wise men, redeeming the times? |
A52050 | have you since repented of them? |
A52050 | how have you walked I beseech you? |
A52050 | or do they still stand upon your score before that God that keeps an exact accompt of all the Talents that ever hee hath put into your hands? |
A52050 | that is, no ● an can bee compared to a wise man, what is hee? |
A52050 | what accompt could you make? |
A52050 | what cause have we to tremble at the thought of it? |
A52050 | what doth the Lord looke for at your hands? |
A52050 | what improvement you have made of them? |
A89585 | ( saith God) doe not I breake the rockes? |
A89585 | ( saith he) you speake of dayes of fasting, that you have kept 70. yeers, did you fast to mee? |
A89585 | ( saith hee) so doe you thinke any allurements for God, shall make this wretched man carry the yoke of Gods Commandements? |
A89585 | 4. saith he, Who over harden''d himself against God, and prosper''d? |
A89585 | 7. what was it made her so bold in her filthinesse that shee will take her fill of love till the morning? |
A89585 | Ah Lord, why hast thou harden''d our hearts from thy feare? |
A89585 | Because( saith hee) sentence against an evill one is not presently executed, God spares him, what then? |
A89585 | Chapter they said they would do that which was good in their own eyes; but who were they? |
A89585 | Christ saith to them, Have ye your hearts yet harden''d? |
A89585 | Did I either appoint them? |
A89585 | Lord what is it? |
A89585 | O Lord, why are our hearts harden''d from thy fear? |
A89585 | and harden''d our hearts from thy feare? |
A89585 | art not thou set notwithstanding to goe on in that way, though God sometimes follow thee with judgements? |
A89585 | art thou able to hold u ● the weapons, when hee comes to strike? |
A89585 | art thou come to this passe? |
A89585 | can thy faire words perswade him to doe it? |
A89585 | doest thou understand that thou art in defiance with heaven? |
A89585 | doest thou understand that thou hast sent a challenge to God? |
A89585 | dost thou not cast the judgements off, if it bee possible, or lie and vex under them, and yet goe on? |
A89585 | dost thou understand( I say) that the Lord God almighty is entred the lists against thee? |
A89585 | hath not God enlightned thy conscience, that the wayes that thou walkest in, are the wayes that lead to death? |
A89585 | heare a word or two from God, thou miserable wretched man, knowest thou what thou hast undertaken? |
A89585 | of Isaiah; who would set Briars and Thornes in battle against mee? |
A89585 | or doe I accept them? |
A89585 | or have you carried them as you should doe? |
A89585 | or now when thou hearest it, do not thy joynts tremble? |
A89585 | or wilt thou not understand it? |
A89585 | say once againe, Art not thou resolved to goe on in thy way, what ever come of it? |
A89585 | should ye not heare the words that the Prophets cried in former times, when Ierusalem was inhabited, and the Cities thereof round about her? |
A89585 | what doth every dispensation speake? |
A89585 | what doth every stroke thinke thou speake? |
A89585 | what man would be so mad, to set Briars and Thornes to fight with devouring fire? |
A89585 | why doth hee give thee leave to speake to him in prayer? |
A89585 | why doth hee powre upon thee so many mercies? |
A89585 | why doth hee visit thee with afflictions? |
A89585 | would''st thou have the stone in thy heart broken? |
A89586 | 4. Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorifie thy Name? |
A89586 | And was not the Church in other Countries as low? |
A89586 | And were not all their works wrought for them, by the rage, cruelty, and cunning of their enemies? |
A89586 | Art not thou from everlasting, my Lord, my God, my holy One? |
A89586 | Can you upon this day of thanksgiving doe lesse then enquire, What shall we render unto the Lord? |
A89586 | First, for what is past; what reall sorrow have ye in your hearts, for those sins which you call God to witnesse you are thus sorry for? |
A89586 | For having been lately restored from the gates of death, what greater mercy could I wish, then to praise God in the great Congregation? |
A89586 | For them, what great things hath the Lord lately done, and by what very weak means? |
A89586 | Hath he not carryed you in his bosome? |
A89586 | Have you not checked his providences, not improved his deliverances, and the advantages which God hath put into your hands? |
A89586 | Heaven and earth shall be on fire, and what shall these things be then? |
A89586 | Honourable and beloved, how a bominable a thing were it, to see the Angels of God live like the instruments of Satan? |
A89586 | How grievous is the remembrance of them, how intolerable do you feel the burthen of them? |
A89586 | Our liberty almost swallowed up, and turned into slavery; our Religion into Popery, and Arminianisme? |
A89586 | Secondly,[ fear:] who would not fear thee? |
A89586 | Secondly? |
A89586 | Shall he escape that doth these things? |
A89586 | The great mercies which we enjoy, the great deliverances we have lately received, from what a high hand have they come? |
A89586 | They engage and binde themselves faster and closer to him, in his worship and service, Who shall not feare thee O Lord, and glorify thy Name? |
A89586 | Were not the book of Service, and the book of Canons, sent, and obtruded upon them from England, the occasion of their late mercies? |
A89586 | Wherfore have we our reason and tongues, but to observe, and speak of these things? |
A89586 | Who but the Lord God Almighty could do this? |
A89586 | Who can be ignorant of these things? |
A89586 | are these the Angels that must pour out the vials of thy wrath? |
A89586 | are these thy Christians? |
A89586 | are these thy Reformers? |
A89586 | can these men save us? |
A89586 | even when, and where he hath delivered you? |
A89586 | hath he not kept you as the apple of his eye? |
A89586 | have you not gone about to kill his goodnesse with your unkindnesses, by provoking him at the sea, even at the red sea? |
A89586 | or do you intend under pretence of being factors for Christ, to drive a trade for Satan and Antichrist, to betray Religion and Liberty? |
A89586 | or do you take Gods Name in vain, calling him to witnesse of the sorrow for those things which he knows you take pleasure in? |
A89586 | or if your hearts, at any time, have been raised a little, have they not presently been at a dead low ebb again? |
A89586 | that Reformers of Religion, should hate religion? |
A89586 | that such an one dare blaspheme, and swear, and abuse Religion? |
A89586 | that such as are called to save the Kingdome, should betray the Kingdome? |
A89586 | to what a very dead low ebbe were we brought? |
A89586 | was not the tyrannie of a few of their Prelats, a means to unburden them of their whole Prelacy? |
A89586 | who were they but the poorer,& meaner sort of people, that at the first joyned with the Ministers, to raise the building of Reformation? |
A52041 | And can setling a new discipline, or rooting out some speculative errours, allow you to resist a good Christian Protestant Prince? |
A52041 | And can you hope to appeare with any confidence when that Chapter shall be charg''d upon you? |
A52041 | And having beene done, can any excuse be made for them? |
A52041 | Are not you, Sir, one of those Godly Divines that have been consulted with, as the whole Kingdome, hath beene given to understand? |
A52041 | But if Christian Religion might be thus defended, must Discipline therefore be so defended? |
A52041 | Can not they be saved under an oppressing cruell Governour? |
A52041 | Consider Sir, from whom has the King His power? |
A52041 | Did Saint Paul say, yee must needs be Subject not onely for wrath but Conscience sake, and whosoever resisteth receiveth to himselfe Damnation? |
A52041 | Did he ever, or any by his command burne the Liturgie, damne the Articles and Canons, abominate the Homilies of the Church? |
A52041 | Do his Souldiers tear Surplices, and threaten to murther the wearers of them? |
A52041 | Do you in the Gospell, Master S. Marshall,( which is your Commission) find any encouragements, or which is more, any command to foment Warre? |
A52041 | Do you indeed thinke Sir, that any of your Masters beleeve themselves, when they make such objections? |
A52041 | For Mr Marshall, can any Christian deny that all these things have not beene done? |
A52041 | For consider Master Marshall, are Christian Subjects bound in Conscience not to suffer the effects of Tyranny? |
A52041 | From whence are Warres, in generall, and fightings among you? |
A52041 | Had not the Jewes as great Civill Priviledges as wee, granted by God himselfe? |
A52041 | Has any man power over his owne life, to relinquish it at his pleasure? |
A52041 | Have not all subordinate Magistrates their power from him, and therefore are they not with respect to him, meere private persons? |
A52041 | Have not you forced him to unsheath his sword meerly to prevent innovations in all these? |
A52041 | How then comes it to passe, that neither you, nor any of your partie should exhort men to patience or martyrdom now? |
A52041 | Is he not indeed, and as you have often sworne to acknowledge him, the supreame Monarch in his dominions? |
A52041 | Is it incogitancie or ignorance in you Ministers that there is such want of the Gospell in these points? |
A52041 | Is it out of conscience that you dare not? |
A52041 | Is that Chapter, Master Marshall, a part of that Covenant by which you must be judged at the last day? |
A52041 | Is the patitient suffering ones selfe to be defrauded and injured by a lawfull Ruler become a sinne? |
A52041 | Is there any one word either in the Common or Statute Law, which allowes an English Subject with Armes in hand to resist the King in person? |
A52041 | Not once to preach publikely against them though you knew many of your chiefe Auditors were guilty of them? |
A52041 | Not one Master Marshall, not one single one, that to any thinking, considering Christian will seem of any kinde of moment at all? |
A52041 | O Sir, where are those Texts? |
A52041 | Then can zeale for Religion dispense with you, thinke you? |
A52041 | Where is then your Christian charitie all this while, Master Marshall? |
A52041 | Which is then the invading and which is the defending side? |
A52041 | Why is not one Gospell quotation produced for this purpose? |
A52041 | Will not the Gospell warrant such exhortations, thinke you? |
A52041 | Would he infringe any old Lawes, or Priviledges, or Articles? |
A52041 | does not all exercise of coercion and power from all Courts issue by his writ? |
A52041 | excepting only that which they will be ashamed to brag of, the City of munster? |
A52041 | had not they a command not to set a stranger over them? |
A52041 | is it not from God? |
A52041 | must no crossing, no kneeling, no ceremonies, no prescribed prayers, be so defended? |
A52041 | or at last speak out Plain English in this point too: Is it indeed the English Protestant Religion of the Kingdom that you would thus defend? |
A52041 | or does he tell you, that he quits and releases unto you your allegeance when he failes in any of these promises? |
A52041 | was not His Majesty a King invested with his full power before he made these promises at his Coronation? |
A52041 | why ▪ did the King ever persecute the Religion of the Kingdome? |
A52041 | without horrour, and secret wishes that S. Paul had had no inke to write words, that will prove so fatall against you? |
A89580 | ( I am now pleading Gods cause, and though a poore unworthy man, I stand betwixt God and a Kingdome) I aske again, are we an holy people? |
A89580 | 4. Who art thou, O great Mountaine? |
A89580 | And is it not a shame, that the Lords friends should bee more backward in his cause than the vassalls of Satan are in their Masters? |
A89580 | And then, if we should take in the third branch of ingaging ourselves in Gods cause, how little zeale is there for God? |
A89580 | And what is the Glory of that City? |
A89580 | Are not five Sparrowes sold for a Farthing, saith our Saviour? |
A89580 | Are not you more worth than all the Sparrowes in the World? |
A89580 | Are our Princes, our Rulers, our Magistrates, our Ministers, and the body of the people holy? |
A89580 | Are you come to Fast, and Pray before the Lord? |
A89580 | As if he had said, would you have an abridgement of all the excellencies of this City and Temple? |
A89580 | But to come nearer yet, and bring it home into your owne bosomes; what if you your selves bee guilty of these things? |
A89580 | Do you not know that God is more easily provoked by a people among whom hee walkes, than by any other people whatsoever? |
A89580 | Doe we walke thus? |
A89580 | Doe you call this an acceptable Day? |
A89580 | Doe you come to stand betwixt God, and the Nation, when you wallow in such wayes as GODS soule abhorres? |
A89580 | Doe you not know that the Church of Christ is his Spouse? |
A89580 | Doe you such things as are rebellion against God, and pull downe his vengeance on us? |
A89580 | Doe you thinke the LORD will accept of any service at your hands? |
A89580 | Doth not hee then deserve to bee owned? |
A89580 | First, are we an holy people? |
A89580 | How is that? |
A89580 | Iehovah is every where; Whither shall I goe from thy presence? |
A89580 | Is any Country esteemed a part of a Princes Dominion, that is not ruled by his Lawes? |
A89580 | Is it not in that thou goest with us? |
A89580 | Is there not a lie in my right hand? |
A89580 | Moses speakes of the Israelites after this manner: What Nation( in all the world) is so great as thou art? |
A89580 | Nay, is there any thing this day so hated, as holinesse? |
A89580 | Or was it, that by hanging the head as a Bulrush for a day, you might expiate your sinnes with God, and take a new Ticket to sinne againe? |
A89580 | VVhat is happinesse but the fruition of the greatest good? |
A89580 | What Nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them as the Lord our God is in all things,& c? |
A89580 | What if you your selves have a chiefe hand in these transgressions? |
A89580 | What is glory, but the shining out of excellency? |
A89580 | What is that? |
A89580 | What is the matter? |
A89580 | What little care hath the State in general taken to provide that Christ might ride in Triumph upon his white horse? |
A89580 | What need I say any more? |
A89580 | What presence then is here intended? |
A89580 | What was Iudahs faithfulnes? |
A89580 | What was the glory of Hierusalem then? |
A89580 | What was the reason? |
A89580 | Who can looke upon poore Germany, and not even bee compelled to weepe over the Booke of the Lamentations againe? |
A89580 | Wilt thou not possesse that which Chemosh thy god gives thee to possesse? |
A89580 | Would not this move any man to bee on Gods side? |
A89580 | You have taken away my God, and what have I more? |
A89580 | You will say, Who is he? |
A89580 | and where is he that dares presume in his heart to doe so? |
A89580 | are you not in Gods Worke? |
A89580 | because it is now a received thing in England, in the beginning of a Parliament to keepe a Fast? |
A89580 | have we not gotten termes to scoffe down all goodnesse? |
A89580 | is not almost every man who will not sweare and be drunke, and be deboyst as a Turke, or worse, cryed downe with the odious name of a Puritan? |
A89580 | that the Word of God might spread into every corner of the Land? |
A89580 | was it to keepe a day for Formality? |
A89580 | who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? |
A89580 | yea would not every true hearted subject in the Kingdome say thus also? |
A77856 | A Covenant with God? |
A77856 | After all this, he and all the people 〈 … 〉 a solemne Covenant, and that at the time of a publique Fast? |
A77856 | And can men that are born, and living, live safely, or at all, without continuall supply of food convenient for them? |
A77856 | And have not we seen this verified also neerer home? |
A77856 | And how goe they? |
A77856 | And how so? |
A77856 | And in trueth, when will we thus joyne our selves to the Lord, if not at a Fast? |
A77856 | And shall he begin, and we think much to follow? |
A77856 | And this was part of Gods Answer to the Jewes enquiring of the Prophet whether they should continue their solemne Fasts? |
A77856 | And what is the substance of their Covenant? |
A77856 | And why all this? |

A77856 | And, what is the businesse; the end of all this hast? |
A77856 | And, what of her? |
A77856 | And, what then? |
A77856 | But what should be the meanes of such an unexpected destruction? |
A77856 | But, that is the Covenant on Gods part, you will say? |
A77856 | Did they not know him before? |
A77856 | Did they omit prayer, and fasting, and seeking early after God? |
A77856 | Ephraim also shall say, What have I to do any more with Idols? |
A77856 | Hast thou been a swearer, and so thou wilt be? |
A77856 | Hath not God himselfe said plainly, a Where there is no vision the people perish? |
A77856 | Hath this use ever been so much as thought of by us? |
A77856 | Have not some, in former times, been taken away, who have been great Oppressors, and Instruments of many sore pressures? |
A77856 | Have we not had more Fasts at Parliaments of late, than in many yeares before? |
A77856 | Have we not prayed? |
A77856 | He that enters into Covenant with God, is betroathed, yea even married to him: And how married? |

A77856 | I have entred into Covenant with God, as a wife with her husband; will that I am now doing, or going about, stand with my Covenant? |
A77856 | If any think, what adoe is here? |
A77856 | Is Ephraim my deare sonne? |
A77856 | Is he Good in deliverances? |
A77856 | Is it meant of every unrighteousnesse( that is in the nature of it damnable) which is to be found in the world? |
A77856 | Is it not his own complaint, b My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge? |
A77856 | Is this to performe Covenant with God? |
A77856 | No? |
A77856 | Oh what prayers, what fasting, what humiliation should we have seene ▪ But, when the snare was once broken, what followed? |
A77856 | Say then, what wilt thou now do? |
A77856 | Shall he be fast bound to them, and they left free to sit loose from him? |
A77856 | Shall the prey be taken from the Mightie, or the lawfull captive delivered? |
A77856 | They turne Covenanters? |
A77856 | Vnto the wicked saith God, what hast thou to do to take my Covenant into thy mouth, seeing thou castest my words behind thee? |
A77856 | What is a chiefe cause of all this? |
A77856 | What unrighteousnesse? |
A77856 | What use have we made of them? |
A77856 | What was it for which Iudah, and Israel became Captives,, but the breach of the Covenant? |
A77856 | What was the issue? |
A77856 | What? |
A77856 | Where is the Covenant( such a Covenant) with God, that so wonderfull a deliverance deserveth, and requireth? |
A77856 | Where should you begin then, but where God ever begins? |
A77856 | Whether is our Condition any what better now than heretofore, when those Leviathans were alive, and in their height? |
A77856 | Who knowes not, that in the Masse is committed the most abominable Idolatry that ever the Sunne beheld in the Christian world? |
A77856 | Whose heart bleeds not over this prodigious growth of Popery and over flowing of Popish Masses? |
A77856 | Why then is Deliverance, and Reformation so slow in comming? |
A77856 | Why, what if I doe not? |
A77856 | Will you therefore see the thing acted, and all these promises fulfilled? |
A77856 | Would you have this to be done, namely, that all should appeare before God in Zion, for this purpose? |

A52048 | 10.4,& c. Why then does it not as well belong to the Civil Magistrate? |
A52048 | 2. the members confirm their love,& c. Doth the Magistrate thus? |
A52048 | Alas, alas, is there no medium between Boniface and Morellius, between Papacy and Anarchy? |
A52048 | Also may not godly men be true and blamable causes of great Schisme? |
A52048 | As for that question, What way simple error or heresie should be punished? |
A52048 | Because David a godly man falls into adultery, therefore tolerate that sin? |
A52048 | But doth the Magistrate require no more? |
A52048 | But if the Magistrate Tolerate those who cast off the Institutions of Christ, to what purpose doth he take care to see them executed? |
A52048 | But is this the Order of Christ, to send out Ministers without Ordination? |
A52048 | But what shall he do with the Episcopal mans Conscience for he is against both these, shall he compell him? |
A52048 | But what shall the Magistrate do? |
A52048 | But what shall the Magistrate doe, when there are such disputes about Church- Government? |
A52048 | But will not this expose Gods people to persecution, there are so few Magistrates good, and if their Consciences be misinformed, what then? |
A52048 | By corrupt Ministers, I doe not mean such as labour under any infirmities, for who is sufficient then? |
A52048 | By this you may see the judgement of this solid Divine and his fears; and what sober man doth not fear the like? |
A52048 | Do these answer the Apostles description in his Epistles to Titus and Timothy? |
A52048 | Dr. Ames[ in his answer to that question, whither Heretics should be punished by the Civil Magistrate?] |
A52048 | Hierom could tell us in his time, when Corruptions had overgrown the Church, Excepting Ordination what doth a Bishop that a Presbyter doth not? |
A52048 | Honesty, that if men will be honest, the Magistrate must provide they may live peaceably? |
A52048 | How can it be his duty to doe this, and yet his duty to Tolerate those who throw them off? |
A52048 | How many pages have the Ministers pen filled in defence of the Magistracy against the Anabaptists? |
A52048 | How shall he answer this Text, that his people under him may live in All godlin ● ss? |
A52048 | If so, what he hath committed to them in this behalfe? |
A52048 | If there be no respect due to Synods to what purpose are they called? |
A52048 | If they can not, why do they cast off Communion with them? |
A52048 | If we ask further concerning the power of Synods, what they may doe to Heretical Congregations? |
A52048 | Is it not true[ who dare deny it] that the Magistrate is bound to provide that men live honestly in matters of the second table? |
A52048 | Is the Magistrate indeed unsatisfied that he knows not which it is? |
A52048 | May not a man that is godly[ at least seems to be so,] fall into such an errour of judgement, as neither Church nor State must tolerate? |
A52048 | Now I come to the second question, Positively, what must they Doe? |
A52048 | Now to what Kingdom doe Errors and Heresies belong? |
A52048 | Pull down Antichrist? |
A52048 | Q. Whither the Lord hath Committed to these Magistrates the Care of Religion? |
A52048 | Secondly, What they are in relation one to another, What is it to the Church that Christ is head of the world? |
A52048 | Sixthly, Why doth Mr. Prynne add which are Onely able to effect this work? |
A52048 | Some errors in practise we must bear, why not then some errors in judgement? |
A52048 | Take the moral law strictly, and lay by the fourth Commandement, what doth it differ from the law of nature? |
A52048 | The Magistrate gives you leave to doe these, why do not the Churches do them? |
A52048 | The second Question: What Care hath God Committed to the Magistrate in the matters of Religion? |
A52048 | What Cause have the Church to bless God for those brave lights which have shined in our Universities? |
A52048 | What shall become of the Nation, and Courts of Judgement? |
A52048 | What then? |
A52048 | What, in these points Apostatize? |
A52048 | and What to the World that he is head over the Church, what are they better or worse? |
A52048 | give himself up to the Synod? |
A52048 | if there be a mystery of iniquity in the one, is there not an university of iniquity in the other? |
A52048 | is Repentance his end he directly and firstly aymes at? |
A52048 | now it is, who is Not sufficient for these things? |
A52048 | these fellows had no election from the people, nor no Ordination: What is all Order thrown down? |
A52048 | thou that abhorrest Episcopacy, dost thou commit Popery? |
A52048 | what do these things presage? |
A52048 | what need of him? |
A52048 | will they not bear each with other? |
A52055 | 14. hath this saying, An Epis ● opatus inter ordines Ecclesiastic ● s ponendus sit, inter Theologos& Canonistas non convenit? |
A52055 | And are not the French, Scottish, and Belgick Churches worthy to be counted Christian Congregations? |
A52055 | And besides it is said, that Titus was Ordained the first Bishop,& c. And who was the second? |
A52055 | And how will it be proved that this Angel if he had a superiority, had any more then a superiority of Order, or of Gifts and Parts? |
A52055 | And if not; How comes it to bee subscribed, the first to Timothy, which hath relation to a second? |
A52055 | And is it not, as it is novv asserted, become an Idoll, and like the Brazen Serpent to be ground to povvder? |
A52055 | And is it so, doth not this Ius divinum argue a Necessitie, but only a Iustifiablenesse of this calling? |
A52055 | And what shall we think of England, when it was an Heptarchy? |
A52055 | And why not then the seven Angels in those Epistles? |
A52055 | And why then should one Presbyter be over another? |
A52055 | Are not Anicetus, Pius, Hyginus, Telesphorus, Sixtus, whom the Papists call Bishops, and the Popes predecessors, termed by Eusebius Presbyters? |
A52055 | Are the reformed Churches of France, Scotland, Netherlands, of that Judgement? |
A52055 | As for the names, are not the same names given unto both in Sacred Writ? |
A52055 | But have our Bishops indeed beene so carefull, painfull, conscionable, in managing their Charges? |
A52055 | But if we should now demand of them, what they meane by the Church of England? |
A52055 | But novv since Episcopacy comes to be challenged as a Divine Ordinance, hovv shall vve be responsible to those Texts? |
A52055 | But what if this be true of some Bishops in the Kingdome, is it true of all? |
A52055 | But why should the faults of some, diffuse the blame to all? |
A52055 | Did ever Apostolick Authority delegate power to Timothy or Titus, to ordain alone? |
A52055 | Did ever Apostolick Authority delegate power to Timothy or Titus, to reject any after twice admonition, but an Heretick? |
A52055 | Did ever Apostolick Authority delegate to Timothy and Titus power to receive an accusation against an Elder, but before two or three witnesses? |
A52055 | Did ever Apostolique Authority delegate power to Timothy and Titus, to rebuke an Elder? |
A52055 | Doth not Irenaeus use the name of Bishops and Presbyters 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, in a promiscuous sense? |
A52055 | First, if he ask what are the bounds of this Church? |
A52055 | Here wee demand, whether Paul when hee writ the first Epistle to Timothy, was assured he should live to write a second, which was written long after? |
A52055 | If what Baptism? |
A52055 | If what Christ? |
A52055 | If what Heaven? |
A52055 | If what meanes of Salvation? |
A52055 | If what ● u ● harist? |
A52055 | In the deposing of this King vvho more forvvard, then the Bishop of Hereford? |
A52055 | In which Epistle is it said that this Angel had sole power of Ordination and Jurisdiction? |
A52055 | Is it to edifie the Church by Word and Sacrament? |
A52055 | Misliked Persons? |
A52055 | Obey them that have the Rule over you? |
A52055 | Or if the Bounds of a Kingdome must constitute the Limits and Bounds of a Church, why are not ● ngland, Scotland, and Ireland, all one Church? |
A52055 | Should a Bishop give a Laike a Licence to preach, or to ordain, doth that Licence make him a Minister, or a Bishop? |
A52055 | Sure all will say, no: why? |
A52055 | That which this sacred Emperour calls the right order of Election, what is it but the Election by the people? |
A52055 | The Homilies which are appointed to be read, are left free either to be read or not, by preaching Ministers; and why not then theLiturgy? |
A52055 | The intolerable pride, extortion, bribery, luxury of Wolsey Archbishop of York who can be ignorant of? |
A52055 | Thinks any, that this is my opinion, and not the opinion of the Scripture, that a Bishop and an Elder is the same? |
A52055 | Thirdly, he saith this Government hath continued without any interruption: What doth he meane, at Rome? |
A52055 | Though this Remonstrant braves it in his multiplied Queries What are the bounds of this Church? |
A52055 | Was there ever such a second Bishop? |
A52055 | We read in Scripture, of the Churches of Iudea, and the Churches of Galatia: and why not the Churches of England? |
A52055 | We would gladly know, whether these were not, as it were, Lay- Eelders? |
A52055 | What? |
A52055 | Where it is said, that this Angel was a superior degree or order of Ministery above Presbyters? |
A52055 | Whether Episcopacie be not made a place of Dignity, rather then Duty, and desired onely for the great revenues of the place? |
A52055 | Whether that assertion, No Bishop, No King; and no Ceremonie, no Bishop; be not very prejudiciall to Kingly Authority? |
A52055 | Whether the advancing of Episcopacie into Ius Divinum, doth not make it a thing simply unlavvfull to submit to that Government? |
A52055 | Whether the great Apostasie of the Church of Rome hath not been, in swerving from the Discipline of Christ, as well as from the doctrine? |
A52055 | Whether there be any difference in the point of Episcopacy betweene Ius Divinum and Ius Apostolicum? |
A52055 | Why should the free liberty of using or not using a Liturgy, breed more confusion then the free liberty of reading or not reading Homilies? |
A52055 | Why? |
A52055 | Will our Bishops indeed stand to this? |
A52055 | and are there none bu Zealous, Religious Prelates in the Kingdom? |
A52055 | and do not our Bishops challenge power to proceed Ex Officio, and make Elders their own Accusers? |
A52055 | and do not our Bishops challenge power to reject and eject the most sound and Orthodox of our Ministers, for refusing the use of a Ceremony? |
A52055 | and do not our Bishops challenge that power? |
A52055 | and onely they? |
A52055 | and who knowes not that amongst these this Government hath met not onely with verbal but reall contradiction? |
A52055 | and why not offending persons? |
A52055 | are there none upon whom the guilt of that may meritoriously be charged, which others have convincingly and meritoriously opposed? |
A52055 | are there not some that have spent their spirits in the opposition of Christ, as others have in the opposition of Antichrist? |
A52055 | dayes there were 600 Errours in the Church; do these any wayes derogate from the truth and worth of Christian Religion? |
A52055 | did never any Religious Minister or Professour preach, or write, or die, to uphold the truth, but a Religious Bishop? |
A52055 | did never any uphold the truth, but a Religious Bishop? |
A52055 | had it not then seven Churches, when seven Kings? |
A52055 | how many? |
A52055 | is it not more certain that Christ is God and man? |
A52055 | is it not more certain that Christ is the only Saviour of the world? |
A52055 | is it to ordain others to that work? |
A52055 | is it to rule, to govern, by admonition and other censures? |
A52055 | must this be of necessity to Salvation? |
A52055 | must this th ● n be an Article of our Creed, the corner stone of our Religion? |
A52055 | nor is the want of it a want of any thing of Essence, but onely of perfection? |
A52055 | or was there ever a second? |
A52055 | they? |
A52055 | to governe alone? |
A52055 | to reproach him with the most opprobrious termes of foole, knave, jack- sauce,& c. which our paper blushes to present to your Honors view? |
A52055 | was Calvin, Beza, Iunius,& c. of that minde? |
A52055 | what Baptisme? |
A52055 | what Scriptures? |
A52055 | what grounds of faith? |
A52055 | what is it not more certain that there is a God? |
A52055 | what meanes of Salvation other then the rest? |
A52055 | what new Creed do they hold differenc from their Neighbours? |
A52055 | what the distinction of the prefessours and Religion? |
A52055 | when they are happily united under one gracious Monarch, into one Kingdom? |
A52055 | whence then proceed these many Additions and Alterations? |
A52055 | why not guilty persons? |
A89563 | ( saith Paul) what were you then baptized into? |
A89563 | 16. but doth it prove that his Baptisme and Prayer was all one? |
A89563 | 6, 7, 8. and all experience proves the contrary; is not this as much against the one as the other? |
A89563 | 8. where the Greeke word comprehends both sexes, but doth that Greeke word, where ever it is used, signifie both sexes? |
A89563 | 9. as such who hold forth to us the soveraigntie of God in election and reprobation? |
A89563 | Afterwards Augustine put off his own Baptism till he was about 30 years, and upward, and what marvaile? |
A89563 | Alasse Sir, why doe you run into this needlesse and erroneous digression? |
A89563 | And further I pray you tell mee, was not all done among them as much by the free election of grace, as among us? |
A89563 | And what saith Augustine of that Epistle? |
A89563 | And what''s the reason of his delay? |
A89563 | And why so I pray? |
A89563 | As for your fourth, were not the Infants of the Jews devoted to God by Circumcision, though they could not actually devote themselves? |
A89563 | As to the thing it selfe, I answer, was not Circumcision Gods signe and seale? |
A89563 | Bernardus non vidit omnia: why may not some things in the vast monuments of Antiquity passe unseene by you? |
A89563 | But Sir is there not in the Text, all that are afarre off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call; and doth not that reach to all ages? |
A89563 | But Sir, did not you formerly grant, that upon the proving of my two first Conclusions the whole cause depended? |
A89563 | But Sir, what need all these things? |
A89563 | But Sir, why doe you call it a little relish? |
A89563 | But Sir, why doe you judge my heart to intend amisse, in using an expression which your self can not mislike? |
A89563 | But did all the Fathers fore- mentioned judge and practise so? |
A89563 | But if we Gentiles have it not, then are not wee I pray you, straitned in that particular? |
A89563 | But is this an expresse prohibition of it? |
A89563 | But what is your Argument from hence, Augustine held it fit to give Infants the Lords Supper, Ergo, What? |
A89563 | But what poore exceptions are these? |
A89563 | But what''s this to the question before us? |
A89563 | But whereas you adde, And why also should not the Lords Supper succeed Circumcision as well as Baptisme? |
A89563 | Did God ever say that if you will performe these and these conditions, then I will regenerate you, give you a new heart, and put my spirit within you? |
A89563 | Doe not Tertullian, Cyprian,& c. argue from Circumcision unto Baptisme as wee now doe, and others of them from Covenant- holinesse? |
A89563 | Doe you not thinke your Reader would smile at the vanity of these questions? |
A89563 | Doth not this plainly hold forth, that if they were re- baptized, it was because Paul thought their former baptism to be insufficient? |
A89563 | Epiphanius you say, sayes nothing of it in a place, which you cite: and are you sure he sayes nothing any where else? |
A89563 | Ergo, the Lords Supper is a humane invention? |
A89563 | First, if it had been known among them; you wonder why I finde nothing for it in Eusebius, Ignatius, Clemens Alexandrinus, Athanasius, and Epiphanius? |
A89563 | Fourthly, what is the sense of these words, Circumcision confirmed the yoake of the Law? |
A89563 | Have not multitudes of ours swallowed down all Arminianism, as well as they? |
A89563 | How doe you prove that Arminius meanes the words which you cite, of Jewish Proselytes? |
A89563 | How faine would you say somewhat which might reproach this Argument? |
A89563 | I answer, this I wonder at, where is Circumcision compared to buriall, and wherein I pray you lyes the analogie between them? |
A89563 | I know you will owne that expression of Augustine, Qnid agit liberum arbitrium? |
A89563 | I reply, who ever said that this administration is the same with theirs? |
A89563 | If Fidus did Judaize in both these, or either of them, what''s that to mee, who say he denyed not Baptisme to bee administred to Infants? |
A89563 | If Mr. Tombes say that it is better to term them seed by calling, then seed by profession; if it bee but an outward call, where lyes the difference? |
A89563 | If they were, how doth this distinction help you? |
A89563 | Infants as well as growne men? |
A89563 | Is not here then good consequence, that therefore they are to have the Seale administred to them? |
A89563 | Martyr did not beare witnesse to the divine Nature of Christ, because hee lived before Arius started up? |
A89563 | Now I demand of you, do not all these Authors call Baptisme a new Birth, which you would fasten onely on Feuardentius? |
A89563 | Nulli filii carnis censentur in semine, saith Arminius; doth hee meane that no proselytes were the seed of Abraham according to the flesh? |
A89563 | Or is marriage a businesse more concerning Religion, then these are? |
A89563 | Paul demands of them, Have you received the holy Ghost since you were baptized? |
A89563 | Plead not some of ours for the mortality of the soule, as well as they? |
A89563 | Quid enim necesse est, si non cam necesse, sponsores etiam periculo ingeri? |
A89563 | Secondly, how prove you this which you say? |
A89563 | Secondly, what meane you when you say, all is done in the Church according to the f ● ● ● election of grace? |
A89563 | Shall I adde other Witnesses who lived in the same Century with him? |
A89563 | Sir, are you perswaded in your own conscience these things are so? |
A89563 | Sir, is this to joyne with Arminius in his interpretation of the ninth to the Romans? |
A89563 | Sir, was this the Covenant of works? |
A89563 | The holy Ghost: what meane you by the holy Ghost? |
A89563 | Thirdly, did circumcision confirme these things to all Abrahams naturall posteritie? |
A89563 | Thirdly, how do Vives and Strabo know what was done in the ages next the Apostles, when the eldest of them lived almost 800 years after that age? |
A89563 | What advantage then both the Jew, or what profit is there of Circumcision? |
A89563 | What did the Non- conformists ever endeavour to doe beyond prayers and teares? |
A89563 | What if you have not found it, will you therefore say it is not to be found in their writings? |
A89563 | What multiplicity of imaginary senses, and consequences of senses are here poured out on an heape? |
A89563 | What need you keepe such a coyle in asking whether beleevers had then no children? |
A89563 | What''s the washing of Regeneration but Baptisme? |
A89563 | Where is this distinction of yours found, or founded in the Word of God? |
A89563 | Yet I beseech you tell me, doth he not therein intimate that it was the custome of the Church in his age to baptize the one as well as the other? |
A89563 | You desire to know what Clemens Alexandrinus saith? |
A89563 | You say he was the sonne of a Christian Bishop, but how doe you prove it? |
A89563 | all which I now passe over: and are not all these Witnesses of the practise of the Church? |
A89563 | and did any Orthodox Divine before your self charge this to be Arminianism, to say that the Gospel runs upon conditions? |
A89563 | and if they bee unchaste, how doth this make them chaste? |
A89563 | and that the method of preaching to us Gentiles must bee fetch''d out of this place? |
A89563 | and that therefore the Baptizing of Infants doth not frustrate that end of initiating them to bee Disciples or Professors? |
A89563 | and was there no food among them all that time, but the Sacramentall food? |
A89563 | and when any of them had embraced the faith, why might they not be catechized, and so prepared for Baptisme, and when they were sound fit baptized? |
A89563 | could any of the ancients reasonably grant the one, and deny the other? |
A89563 | could the ● arest Chymick have extracted any more? |
A89563 | did ever any before you conceive so many and great evills to follow upon the baptizing the children of beleevers? |
A89563 | doe not many of ours conceit a perfection of grace? |
A89563 | doe they not cry downe our Ministry as no Ministry? |
A89563 | doe they not oppose the Christian Sabbath? |
A89563 | doth he not confine himselfe to answer cases betwixt beleevers, and their unbeleeving wives and husbands? |
A89563 | have not many of ours drunke in the conceits of immediate revelations and Enthysiasmes as much as they? |
A89563 | have not some of ours laid downe their Armes out of opinion that even in a just cause warre is unlawfull? |
A89563 | is it a Sacrament? |
A89563 | may I not also exact of you to shew when and where this was taken away? |
A89563 | must you not bee compelled to goe by a consequence to bring it in, which is all I contend for? |
A89563 | or doe both these cases require one and the same answer? |
A89563 | or how else, is it more holy then these other civill things? |
A89563 | or whether the Apostles had no commission? |
A89563 | or whether wee have a Commission if they had not? |
A89563 | our Churches as no Churches? |
A89563 | that such Monsters should be bred in the wombe of it, or conceive that the removing of this would bee the healing of all? |
A89563 | the conveyance and seal annexed to it, are no part of the purchased inheritance, but doe they not belong to it? |
A89563 | unlesse your Compassionate Samaritan bee Authentick with you? |
A89563 | was it by faith, or the profession of faith? |
A89563 | was it certain or probable? |
A89563 | was it not a seale of the righteousnesse of faith, of circumcision of heart,& c. doth not the seale belong to the thing sealed? |
A89563 | was it to be true at any time, that all who beleeve should receive the extraordinary gifts of the holy Ghost? |
A89563 | was the posteritie of Ismael and Esau to come out of Egypt; possesse Canaan, ● ee yoaked with the Law? |
A89563 | wee never so much as heard whether there be an holy Ghost: No? |
A89563 | were not children then admitted in by birth- right, and yet was not grace then as free as it is now? |
A89563 | were the uncleane and uncircumcised in their families to fast all that time? |
A89563 | were they all inwardly holy, or effectually called? |
A89563 | what Doctrine, or Faith were you instructed in before your baptisme? |
A89563 | what Scripture ever denyed it? |
A89563 | what evidence doe either of them produce out of Antiquitie to make their assertion good? |
A89563 | what priviledge or gaine is it to bee a visible professor, a visible member of the Jewish Church? |
A89563 | what strange kind of baptisme have you received? |
A89563 | what turbulent Sect was ever found among them? |
A89563 | what were those divisions and miscarriages which brought them so low? |
A89563 | why may I not have as good hopes of Heathens children, if Gods promise helpe not here? |
A89563 | yea doth not Ambrose call the Fon: Baptisterium regeneration is lavacrum, the lavacre of Regeneration? |
A52035 | ( saith he) who am I? |
A52035 | ( you wil say) Wherein stands it? |
A52035 | A little to discover what the benefit is that we partake of, by eating and drinking the flesh and the blood of Jesus Christ, What do we get by it? |
A52035 | All these are out of it, What is that? |
A52035 | And bestow more pains about it than about all things in the World besides? |
A52035 | And can you walk before God as obedient Children, at least in the constant bent and tenure of your Souls? |
A52035 | And what get they by it? |
A52035 | Art thou a King? |
A52035 | As for Example: Do all the Saints of Christ live the life of Christ by faith? |
A52035 | Before our eyes God hath overturned all these things; hath not God let us see how he hath pulled down great Princes and Kings? |
A52035 | Brethren, Do you beleeve this? |
A52035 | But now, What the holy Ghost signifies by this, what is it to live by faith? |
A52035 | But what if my difficulty be such an one that I can find nothing in the Word about it ▪ What can my Faith do then? |
A52035 | But what is it? |
A52035 | But you wil say, Do you think the people of God are so much guilty of it? |
A52035 | Can this be? |
A52035 | Can you honor God, and reverence him, and turn to him? |
A52035 | Come into the Shops of your Trades men, How do they keep al their wares? |
A52035 | Did he need any? |
A52035 | Did he want a Child? |
A52035 | Do you keep your Cash right? |
A52035 | Do you let it lie open to let every Rogue and Raskal come in, and every thing to defile it, and can you find time to keep these outward things so? |
A52035 | Do you make choyce of it to be so? |
A52035 | Do you not think you shall live comfortably? |
A52035 | Do you think that the people of God are so much guilty of it? |
A52035 | Doth the Holy Ghost work a Childs heart in you? |
A52035 | First, You see by all this how necessary it is that you should al try and examine your souls, Whether you be partakers of this Life or no? |
A52035 | For the first, First, What are those sins which the Lords people, his own Children are liable to while they live in this world? |
A52035 | God the Father what is his work in our Adoption? |
A52035 | Had not he a Son from everlasting? |
A52035 | Hath he raised up in thee such a desire after him What sayest thou? |
A52035 | Have you learned the Lesson of self- denial? |
A52035 | Have you not left them at home? |
A52035 | How are their Roomes rubbed? |
A52035 | How doth the Lord Jesus Christ''s being in Heaven serve as a relief to Gods people under their many infirmities? |

A52035 | How shall a man attain this Lesson? |
A52035 | How shall we do to live this Life? |
A52035 | How shall we know this Life? |
A52035 | I Lord, I beleeve it: So say I, Do you beleeve this? |
A52035 | I do but allude to that comparison, Now I may say then, Is not thy Heart better than thy Head? |
A52035 | I fear not but many of you can say it is thus with you, the Lord witnesseth that with you, doth he not? |
A52035 | I hope so: Pray have you denied your self? |
A52035 | I remember the Romans said, It was an imitating of Nature, found out for the Solace of the Father, But didst thou Solace God? |
A52035 | I: And are you his Disciples in truth? |
A52035 | In the presence of God tel me, what doest thou weigh in the Ballance? |
A52035 | Is Christ mine? |
A52035 | Is his comfort increased by it? |
A52035 | Is it any less in Christ Jesus the Son of God? |
A52035 | Is it so Lord that the poor soul that casts himself upon Christ is thus made one with him? |

A52035 | Is not this good news to all those that endeavor to walk with Christ in sincerity? |
A52035 | Is not this house yours? |
A52035 | Is not thy heart thy inward man better than thy outward man? |

A52035 | Is this so? |
A52035 | Is this the Lot of al the Lords People? |
A52035 | Is this to thee 〈 ◊ 〉 the honey and the hony combe? |
A52035 | It is nothing but the spirits perswading, Gods spirit perswades them, And what do you think the Spirit of God perswades them too? |
A52035 | It is with many of Gods People as it was with Christ when he was upon Earth, when he was called King, How was he jeered for it? |
A52035 | Jesus Christ is preached to you in the several meetings in the ministry of the word, Is it this Christ you look for? |
A52035 | Keep thy heart with all diligence, Why? |
A52035 | Keep thy heart, Keep it, What is that? |
A52035 | Many are the evidences I could give you of it in the Scripture, what was Ephraim? |
A52035 | No, there is your care, the issues of it shal be kept as far as thou canst keep it: but what doth thy heart do? |
A52035 | Now if you wil say, How shall we know it? |
A52035 | Now many force themselves, How came you a Child of God? |
A52035 | Now one Question more I must needs briefly speak to, and that is this: But may some say, Do all that live the life of Christ live thus? |
A52035 | Now the third thing in the Doctrinal part( and then I hasten to the Application,) is, Wel, What are the benefits of it? |
A52035 | Now then the Last part of my Sermon which I come to, is, But how should we do this? |
A52035 | Now what are the benefits of our Adoption? |
A52035 | Now what is the Holy Spirit''s work about it? |
A52035 | Or what shall a Man give in Exchange for his Soul? |
A52035 | Pray how do you keep your heart? |
A52035 | Pray tel me, Why, can any body detect me? |
A52035 | Shall I speak a little freely and examin this great Assembly, where doth your eternal happiness lie? |
A52035 | So( friend) have you the right skil of living by faith? |
A52035 | Suppose I should go visit, and ride a Journey of many hundred miles, and lay down my life, and part with my estate; For what end? |
A52035 | That God that knows how thou esteemest thy self can determine this question: Wel thus plainly, Art thou one that carriest such thoughts as these? |
A52035 | That he would die to purchase Coheirs with him? |
A52035 | That the Lord Christ our Mediator doth give his holy Spirit to help us against our infirmities, What is that? |
A52035 | That the Lord Christ who is their high Preist, their suretie? |
A52035 | That when the Lord hath took this strange course, and brought about this strange work, Wherein doth the worth of this Priviledg stand? |
A52035 | The Issues of life, What is that? |
A52035 | The Life you live in this life, is it the Life of the Son of God? |
A52035 | The Second( which it may be you wil more long for, for I suspect not that you wil doubt the truth of the first) is, What is this Life? |
A52035 | Then, Secondly, To that he adds, But( saith he) if any man sin, that is, when we do thus sin, when Gods people do thus sin, What then? |
A52035 | There is a work of Jesus Christ, What is that? |
A52035 | To Peter when he denies his Master? |
A52035 | To whom? |
A52035 | Was it not a strange love that made him from al Eternity choose thee to be his Child? |

A52035 | Whosoever doth thus eat and drink, and thus cometh to me, I wil in no wise cast off; What is that? |
A52035 | Why should I think the Lord Christ would give me this food? |
A52035 | Why should he give it me? |
A52035 | Why, what is our God? |
A52035 | Wilt thou be my Father and the Father of my Child? |
A52035 | Would not this be your Answer? |
A52035 | Would you know why? |
A52035 | Ye( saith he) who were dead in sins and trespasses hath he quickened; How? |
A52035 | Yes: Do you follow Christ? |
A52035 | You shall find Satan the great Enemy, how do we overcome him? |
A52035 | You wil say, What mean you by that? |
A52035 | a feeding of our Bodies that wil return to clay is al that a man gets by it; Now what is gotten by this eating and drinking of Jesus Christ? |
A52035 | all beleevers in Christ, are they all made the Sons and Daughters of God? |
A52035 | and come into our Country, How do People keep their Cattel? |
A52035 | and how got you your interest in him? |
A52035 | and if any thing lie out of its place and pile, How impatient are they with their Servants? |
A52035 | and is all right? |
A52035 | and so rest in him, when all this while he is a Wretch, and runs out of all, and so is my heart wel? |
A52035 | and to others when they fal into the like sins, What is the interecession of Christ to them? |
A52035 | and what are you worth? |
A52035 | as good a man as you I hope, Wherein lies your goodness? |
A52035 | better than my heart, How do you perform your Duties? |
A52035 | but never, why are you troubled, you that have fulness of faith? |
A52035 | but( saith he) is it a smal thing in your eyes, for a man of so mean a stock as I am, to be made the Son in law of a King? |
A52035 | could we think of it, I beseech you tel me, to which of the Angels said God at any time, thou art my Son? |
A52035 | dare you affirm it that none live the life of Christ in this world, but those that you have spoken of? |
A52035 | do we not see you are alive? |
A52035 | doth not God tell us they are not al worth our study? |
A52035 | ever more give us of this meat, But who am I that I should come? |
A52035 | hath he not let us see a thousand, ten thousand a yeer a man may have, and yet live to see them al buried, and himself come to beggery? |
A52035 | have you now the Life of Christ? |
A52035 | have you the life of God in you? |
A52035 | if men sin against men, men shal speak for them, but who shall speak betwixt the Soul and God? |

A52035 | they all fal a Weeping for, and about him, saith he, why break you my Heart? |
A52035 | though he were dead, he shall live, and living once he shal never die: Doest thou beleeve this? |
