A53677Is there any Nation in Europe that is not filled with our Bloud?
A53677Is there any thing in the Gospel which gives countenance unto this way of imposing a Guide in Religion on the Minds and Consciences of men?

A53677The very horror of the Proposal is enough to secure the minds of any who have the least spark of spiritual Light or Grace, from a compliance with it?

A53700Bring himself unto an Unconcernment, what becomes of it?
A53700Can you not Pray?
A53700Do you find a secret Joy in your Hearts, upon the Satisfaction you take in the proposal of this way unto you by the Gospel?
A53700Doth the Glory of God in any measure shine forth unto you in the Face of Jesus Christ?
A53700HERE then lieth the Enquiry, namely, How these two prevalent Desires may be reconciled and satisfied in the same Mind?
A53700HOW doth saving Faith approve of this way?
A53700Is any afflicted?
A53700OUR next Enquiry is, what is that Approbation of this way of Holiness which we place as an Evidence of saving Faith?
A53700Shall he then desire that God may part with and lose his Glory, so as that one way or other he may be saved?
A53700The design of this ensuing Treatise is to resolve this great Question, Whether the Faith we profess unto, be true or no?
A53700WHICH of these Desires shall the Sinner cleave unto, unto whether of them shall it give the Preheminence?
A53700What is the way of Acceptance with God?
A53700What shall we do to be saved?
A53700Whence is it that I have deliverance from the Guilt of these sins?
A53700Whence is it that my Soul and Conscience are purged from the stain and filth of them?
A53700Would you have any other way proposed in the room of it?
A53700are you satisfied in it, that it is such as becomes God, and answers all the glorious Attributes of his Nature?
A53700let him pray: Is any merry?
A53700shall he cast off all Hopes and Desires of his own Salvation, and be content to perish for ever?
A53700that way was made for the advancing of Grace in the Pardon of them?
A53700when they tend to encrease the Formality and Hardness of their Hearts, towards the ruine of their Souls?
A53703And how foolish, senceless, and unbecoming of Men, would any other Thoughts be?
A53703And what was the ground and occasion of the Quarrel?
A53703And what wise man, methinks would not at length be contented, that these differences and indifferent things may be parted withal together?
A53703But is this all?
A53703Can he force himself to assent unto that, whereunto in truth he doth not assent?
A53703Can then other men compell this assent?
A53703For what if some Officers of Ecclesiastical Courts have been inriched by the booty they have got from Dissenters?
A53703How can this be forced?
A53703How shall he do to be otherwise minded?
A53703Is it not to declare in the Soul, that if it practise these things, God will judge it the Last Day, and pronounce Sentence against him?
A53703Is it not, in the first place, to apply the Mind and Understanding to consider of what sort it is, in referrence unto the future Judgment of God?
A53703It is said therefore, Let Men take this liberty unto themselves: Who forbids them to judge of Themselves and of their Actions, what they please?
A53703It is true indeed, that the Parliament have thought meet some years past, to direct unto another course of Proceedure?
A53703Nay, if he have not constantly sound a severe Interdiction given in by his Conscience against all such things?
A53703Order thereby, than what it may enjoy whilst Men have their Liberty to profess their dissent?
A53703What advantage is it all this while to the Kingdom?
A53703What if they offer to be instructed by any who will take that work upon them, in the things about which their differences are?
A53703What if they plead conscience towards God, and that alone, in their dissent; it being evidently against their whole temporal interest?
A53703What is answered unto this request?
A53703What is the Work or Duty of Conscience in reference hereunto?
A53703What then is the end of these things, of this Severity so earnestly pressed after, to be engaged into?
A53703What though they are every way sound in the Faith, and cordialy imbrace all the doctrine taught formerly in the Church of England?
A53703What though those in this condition are many, and such as in whose peace and industry, the welfare of the Nation is exceedingly concerned?

A90265The Lord God hath spoken, who can but Prophecy?
A90265The Lord God hath spoken, who can but prophesie?
A90265The Lyon hath roared, who will not feare?
A90265Where is the law for that?
A90265and how shall they do this?
A90265and if God give a blessing to his endeavours, may hee not become a Pastor to the converted soules?
A90265must they not beware of false Prophets, which come unto them in sheepes cloathing, but inwardly are ravening wolves?
A90265or were they of human invention?
A90265or what is there in all this more then God required of his ancient people, as I shewed before?
A90265to foment and cherish errors in one another?
A90265to give false interpretations of the word, there being no way to prevent it?
A90265what way remaines, but a trying their doctrine by the rule?

A53727As, Who gave you Authority to call in question the Scriptures?
A53727Brown is not the Author?
A53727But if these things have no evil in them, why should any body be grieved at them?
A53727From whence now should this proceed, but from the Fountain of all Righteousness, God Almighty?
A53727How can he be said to believe the Truth, that would force another to believe a Lie?
A53727How could God be Just, if Justice were not satisfied?
A53727How know you the Scriptures to be the Word of God?
A53727How know you the Scriuptures to be the word of God?
A53727How know you the Scriuptures to be the word of God?
A53727How many, and how punctually were the Prophesies, concerning our Redemption by Christ?
A53727I demand therefore of our Adversaries, How they know that the Sun shines, or, that there are any Bodies in the World?
A53727If any Man walk in the day,( saith our Saviour) he stumbleth not; Why?
A53727If they have, why should any one do the like to his Neighbour?
A53727Is it lest the Question should recur upon themselves?
A53727Or, how come we to be assured, that our whole Life is any more than a Dream?
A53727Or, how could he be saved, if he should suffer for himself?
A53727Shall we now say, that this Book is a Forgery, a Cheat and Imposture of the Devil?
A53727The first is, Where was your Religion before Luther?
A53727Where was your Religion before Luther?
A53727Where was your religion before Luther?
A53727Where was your religion before Luther?
A53727Who would trouble his head to Argue with such a Person, as should deny that two and three make five, or that the whole is bigger than the half?
A53727Why may not all the Objects we discern about us, be certain Phantasms only, or Apparitions of the Brain, which have no real Existence in Nature?
A53727Why might not our Adversaries demand of us, how we come to be certain, that God is Righteous and the Devil Wicked?
A53727Will any man object and say, Where are those visible Characters of Divine Goodness contained in the Scriptures?
A53694( that is by his Adversary) an illi incumbebat opus& quidem servile, idque per sex dies?
A53694Again; when are Believers supposed to Rest from these works?
A53694And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this?
A53694And what then is become of the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free?
A53694And what was this Rest?
A53694And wherein doth this include the blessing of the seventh Day?
A53694But how can they be said to Rest from these works, as God rested from his own?
A53694Do men in these things appeal unto the Law?
A53694For is there any thing that we have received from God, that shall yield him no Revenue of Glory, whereof we ought to make no acknowledgement unto him?
A53694For why did they not rather constitute twelve dayes, from the twelve parts of the Zodiack through which the Sun passing perfecteth the year?
A53694It will be said, why then did not Nehemiah reprove them as well as he did the Jews?
A53694The contrary appears with good evidence to me; For what are the works that Believers should be said here to Rest from?
A53694Was it meerly Gods ceasing from his own works?
A53694What Act of God is it, that can be here intended?
A53694What Testimonies have we of the presence of God with any Churches, in the Administration of Gospel- Ordinances and Worship on that Day?
A53694What ground have we now to imagine, that the Holy Men of old were left without Divine direction in this matter?
A53694What of this nature can be spoken concerning the seventh Day now by some contended for, and that which is grievous, by some persons Holy and Learned?
A53694Wherefore though some should say now as they did of old concerning any command of God, Behold what a weariness it is?
A53694Who dare once so to imagine?
A53694an ipsi erant servi& ancillae?
A53694an jumenta requietis indigentia?
A53694an peregrini inter portas ejus?
A53694and what profit is it to keep his Ordinances?
A53694and wherein is the preheminence of the Spiritual Worship of the Gospel, above the Carnal Ordinances of the Law?
A53694quis non videt ad solum Israelitarum statum in toto illo praecepto respici?
A902632 Doth Christ Dwell in us by his Spirit, should we not be carefull, least we grieve that Spirit of his?
A90263And how doth he do it?
A90263And is it Spirit or flesh that unites us to him?
A90263And shal we deal thus with the Lord Jesus?
A90263And shall we think that the Lord Christ will suffer his to be spoiled at an easie rate?
A90263And what is this Price?
A90263And why so?
A90263But suppose great Opposition be made unto him, will he not give over?
A90263Can he alone, and that by his Almighty Power put li ● e into dead stones, that they may grow up to bee a holy and living Habitation unto him?
A90263Can hee alone ● it us for this Building?
A90263Doth he dwell in us by his Grace?
A90263Even there where men cry, Go to, let us build a City and a Tower whose top may reach to Heaven?
A90263Examine your selves, is it not so with some of you?
A90263For it Christ by his Spirit do not speak Peace, who shall?
A90263How hath he in our dayes frustrated all attempts for the persecution of his?
A90263Is Christ the Builder of this House?
A90263Is it the will of man, or the will of God that drawes men unto Christ?
A90263Is this the House of Christ?
A90263Jacob sayes of him in Judah, He is a Lyon, as an old Lyon, who shall rouse him up?
A90263Know you not( saith the Apostle) that you are the Temple of the Spirit of Christ?
A90263Many poor Creatures have by their Opposition to his House ▪ roused up this Lyon, and what hath been the Issue?
A90263Now who hath these seven spirits?
A90263See hence a great mistake of many poor Creatures, who would fain be stones in this House: what course take they?
A90263Shall He not avenge his Elect?
A90263Shall a Spirit of life be spun out of the Bowels of Nature?
A90263Shall a dead wil ● be thought to have a quickning, life- giving power in it?
A90263Shall the Residue of men, who under new pretences, or old ones new painted, drive on the same designe, shall they prosper?
A90263Suppose- any do rouse him up, how then?
A90263Well, and how come we so to be?
A90263What now is the issue of such Attempts?
A90263Where then is this workman employed that makes all this noyse in the world?
A90263Who then shall meddle with it and go free?
A90263Would now this poor soul see where its great defect lyes?
A90263have you not lost the sense of the presence of Christ by your folly and uneven walking?
A90263if( saith he) any man haere my voice, and open to me, I will come to him: and what then?
A90263is he the Owner of it?
A90263shall not men pay dear for their encroachment?
A90263shall not such men ly down in sorrow?
A90263what is like to be?
A90263what is required of him?
A90263what then becomes of that famous workman Freewill, and a power of believing in our selves, do not they work effectually in this Temple?
A90263will he bear such a reproach?
A53685And by whom is this discovery made unto us?
A53685And is not the Aid of the Spirit of God sufficient to enable us hereunto?
A53685And is not the performance of Duties to be regulated according to the supplies of Grace?
A53685And the only question is, What such Persons are to do, in complyance with his Assistance, or what it is that they obtain thereby?
A53685And without an Acquaintance with these things, what are our Prayers, or what do they signifie?
A53685Besides all other Disadvantages which will accrew hereby unto our Souls, who can express the horrible Ingratitude of such a Sin?
A53685But we need not insist on the Commendation of Prayer, for it will be said by whom was it ever discommended?
A53685Can we go from day to day in the neglect of Opportunities, occasions and just seasons of Prayer?
A53685Can we more by any means grieve this Holy Spirit and endamage our own Souls?
A53685Deal thus with thy Governour, Will he be pleased with thee or accept thy Person?
A53685Do others go from day to day in a neglect of this Duty, in their Closets and Families?
A53685For do they not acknowledge that there is a more plentiful effusion of the Spirit on the Church under the New Testament than of the Old?
A53685For how can any man pray, that knows not what to pray for?
A53685For what do we pray for?
A53685For who knoweth what is good for man in this Life, all the days of his vain life, which he spendeth as a shadow?
A53685For who shall assure me that the Persons pretending unto these Duties or Enjoyments are not meer pretenders?
A53685Hath God given unto us the Spirit of Grace and Supplication, and shall we be remiss, careless, and negligent in Prayer?
A53685How shall we answer the Contempt of this gracious Aid offered us by Jesus Christ?
A53685If they are dull, dead and slothful in them, if under the Power of customariness and formality, what issue can they expect?
A53685If they are so, or may be so, what need is there of him or his Work for the Preservation and Edification of the Church?
A53685If you offer the blind for Sacrifice, is it not Evil?
A53685Is not this the worst way whereby we may quench the Spirit, which we are so cautioned against?
A53685Is this a fruit of our own Fancy and Imagination?
A53685Quanta ergo cum reverentia, quanto timore, quantâ illuc humilitate accedere debet, è palude sua procedens ranuncula vilis?
A53685Some have made bold to advance a fond Imagination( as what will not Enmity unto the Holy ways of God put men upon?)
A53685What do we take a prospect and design of in our Supplications?
A53685What is it we desire to be made Partakers of?
A53685Who can express how great a folly and Sin it is, not to be found in the constant exercise of it?
A53685Why should not men use in the Service and Worship of God what God hath given them, that they may be able to serve and worship him?
A53685Will he, saith Job, plead with me with his great Power?
A53685Ye brought that which was torn, and that which was Lame and Sick; should I accept this at your hands, saith the Lord?
A53685and if you offer the Lame and the Sick, is it not Evil?
A53685and shall we be found in the neglect of that Spiritual Aid which is graciously afforded unto us?
A5373112. Who can understand his Errors?
A53731And how can it be charged as an Aggravation of their sin, that they do not use the Right which they have, seeing they have no Power so to do?
A53731And this is the first Case which renders the Question dubious, Whether Sin have the Dominion in us or no?
A53731And what shall long, in such a Case, stop Sins out of the Throne?
A53731BUT you will say then, Unto what end serves this Right, if they have not Power in themselves to put it in Execution?
A53731Believe not its flatteries, is it not a little one?
A53731But how doth this give relief?
A53731But if you shall say unto it, what then shall we do?
A53731But what Ground have we for this Hope?
A53731But what is the way whereby we may be enabled so to do?
A53731Can any spiritual Eye behold Christ dying for Sin, and continue to live in Sin?
A53731Can we behold him bleeding for our Sins, and not endeavour to give them their deaths Wound?
A53731Doth it take advantage from our darkness and confusion under Troubles, Distresses or Temptations?
A53731Hath it almost habituated the Soul unto careless and corrupt Inclinations unto the love, of or conformity to the World?
A53731How much work do we see about Religion and religious Duties?
A53731IS it not because they have other reliefs to betake themselves unto?
A53731IS it that sin, though it abides, yet it shall not fight nor contend for Dominion in us?
A53731IS it that there shall be no Sin in them any more?
A53731Is there no difference between Sin''s Dominion, and Sin''s Tyranny and Vsurpation?
A53731It is so, whether this be the fault of Churches or of perticular Persons?
A53731NOW among disquisitions of this latter Nature and Use, this is none of the least, Whether we are under the Dominion of Sin or no?
A53731O Lord, why hast thou hardened our Heart from thy Fear?
A53731Shall I despise his purchace?
A53731Shall we keep that alive in us, which he dy''d for, that it might not eternally destroy us?
A53731THUS far have we proceeded in the enquiry, Whether Sin hath the Dominion in us or no?
A53731The Second Enquiry spoken to; Whether Sin hath Dominion in us or no?
A53731The Second Enquiry spoken to; Whether Sin hath Dominion in us or no?
A53731They have Right to say unto it, Get thee hence, what have I to do any more with Idols?
A53731We may therefore in this Case continually expostulate with our Souls, as David doth; Why go you mourning because of the Oppression of the Enemy?
A53731What Assurance of this Success?
A53731What constant observation of the Times and Seasons of them?
A53731What is the assurance given us, and what are the Grounds thereof, that Sin shall not have Dominion over us?
A53731What is the assurance given us, and what are the Grounds thereof, that Sin shall not have Dominion over us?
A53731What power will it communicate unto its destruction?
A53731Why are you cast down, and why are you disquieted within us?
A53731Will he always call upon God?
A53731Will you blame a Man that hath a Right to an Estate if he do not recover it, when he hath no means so to do?
A53731YOU will say then, Whereto serves the Gospel, and the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ in this Case, if it be not able to give us deliverance herein?
A53731this Tyrant, this Enemy, is too hard for us ▪ what aid and assistance against it will it afford unto us?
A90268And then another party hath gone off, and asked us what will ye doe now?
A90268Bring hither the Ephod, and enquire of God, was the word with them?
A90268But you will say; how shall we enquire of God?
A90268Doth he not fill heaven and earth?
A90268First, That we may abide with God, this is indispensably required?
A90268For the words themselves, the first thing proposed to be inquired into for their explanation is this; what it is for God to be with a people?
A90268Had not the Lord been with us, who had not destroyed us?
A90268Hath not the state of all nations, since they came into the power of men professing the knowledge of him, been the same?
A90268Have you any Affair that lies before you that is good, and honest, but yet dreadful, difficult, entangled?
A90268He shall die; he shall be cut off: what is the reason of this diversity?
A90268How does he make it his glory to turne all their Consultations into folly?
A90268How many wicked nations are there in the world, that for a long season, have received blessings( as it were) and successe in their undertakings?
A90268How often did the Israelites attempt things without his direction?
A90268If God be with us, who shall be against us?
A90268In the last Assembly of Parliament, How many had no less real intentions to be at worke for God, than now?
A90268Is he a God at hand only, and not afar off, as to the ends of the Earth?
A90268Is the Lord amongst them by his special presence?
A90268Is this all indeed that is required, that we may have the special presence of God with us for ever?
A90268It is Christ that is our Peace, even in outward troubles?
A90268Look on this presence of God as your main concernment?
A90268O how inexcusable shall we be, if we neglect these termes?
A90268Our High Priest is the Angel of Gods Presence, the mighty Counsellor, the power, and eternall wisedome of God himself?
A90268Secondly, What is a Peoples abiding with God?
A90268Should these things busie, or distract you; doth the Issue of the business in hand, depend on the thoughts of these men?
A90268Some say you will never be able to goe through with the charge of your undertakings?
A90268This is that which the Prophet calls for in the words of the Text; so the Psalmist, there are many that say, who will shew us any good?
A90268What a full Experience have we had of this kind of proceeding among us?
A90268What is the Rule and measure of Gods continuance with his people in the Covenant of Grace?
A90268What then shall be done with this people?
A90268What would we have more?
A90268What would you have more?
A90268When did he not deale thus with them?
A90268When the righteous turns from his righteousness; what then?
A90268With what contempt doth God speake of the wisedome, and Counsells of the sonnes of men, when they will adhere unto them?
A90268Would God now have them pass on, and engage?
A90268Would you then be with God?
A90268and to make them erre in their wayes, like a drunken man?
A90268and where is he?
A90268did he despond?
A90268did he give over?
A90268have these things indeed any influence at all into the determination of this Controversie?
A90268how doth he bid them take Counsell together, when he intends to destroy them?
A90268how just will be our ruine?
A90268how often did he breake in upon them to their woe and sorrow?
A90268look on the Roman Empire, did it not flourish under the hand of men who rul''d with God, and were faithfull with the Saints?
A90268what Promises of a successe, and a blessed Issue in so doing are there?
A90268what instance can be given of transgressing this Rule?
A90268what instances may be given of all good and prosperous Rulers of old, of their seeking direction from God?
A90268what is all this to the advantage we have of seeking Counsell of God; and taking direction from him?
A90268will not this one Consideration guide your hearts, and spirits, when all these waves roll all together upon you?
A90268will the end be according to their contrivances?
A9026934. or according to the minde of God?
A90269Ah foolish people and unwise, doe we thus require the Lord?
A90269And is it likely that we can gather any Resolution from them?
A90269Aske now the people of God in this nation, I say or any of them, one, or more, at any time?
A90269Doth God at any time prosper an evill or a wicked Nation?
A90269Doth he breake, ruine and destroy them, as sooner or latter he will leave them, neither roote nor branch?
A90269Even all nations shall say, wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto this Land?
A90269Have you an Answer in readinesse?
A90269Is it not cleare, that they are divided among themselves?
A90269Make this worke of God your pole- star, that you may steere and guide your course by it?
A90269May not some enquiry of the like nature be made of the people of God amongst us?
A90269On whom are the eies of this Nation and of those round about?
A90269Shall we therfore chuse us a Captain,& goe down again into Egypt?
A90269Suppose now a man, or men, should come and aske of you, what God hath done in these Nations?
A90269That being attempted in many places,& proveing abortive, is here accomplished?
A90269That is a season wherein great inquiry will be made about those things; what shall one then answer?
A90269The septuagint render these words,{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}; the Kings of the Nations, what shall they say?
A90269What SHALL one: what shall, or what ought?
A90269What answer then should we give to Enquirers?
A90269What is the profession we make?
A90269What is the work that is so fam''d abroad, and spoken of throughout the World?
A90269What is this you wil say?
A90269What shall ONE?
A90269What shall one THEN?
A90269What shall one answer them?
A90269What shall one then answer the Messengers of the Nation?
A90269What shall they doe?
A90269Wherefore doe they enquire of your wellfaire, of your state and condition, of your affaires?
A90269Who( J say) not intangled with one prejudicate ingagement or other, may not se this with halfe an eye?
A90269an Anti- christian Nation?
A90269doth God take care for Oxen?
A90269doth not the greatest danger of our own miscarriage lye in this?
A90269from whom are the Expectations of men?
A90269hath he delight in the prosperity of his Enemies?
A90269have we been imposed on in the ways of God, by men ignorant of them?
A90269how many glorious Appearances have I seen, of which I said under the shadow hereof, shall we live among the heathen?
A90269in this case,{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}; what shall they answer, or say?
A90269is it a power over other mens persons, or our owne lusts?
A90269is it for their owne sakes?
A90269is it not his Glory?
A90269is it that they love you, that they desire your prosperity, that they would have you an established Nation?
A90269should the disposall of things be according to his will, or ours?
A90269to whom should we goe to enquire what God hath done in this Nation, what he is doing, what are the effects of his power, if not of you?
A90269what he hath wrought, and effected?
A90269what is brought forth?
A90269what is it their duty to doe or to say?
A90269who hath the chiefest interest in,& right unto the things contended about?
A90269who hath the most wisedome to order things aright, he or we?
A90269who sees what will be the event of all things, hee or we?

A5373214. and every where else render, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, an Infidel?
A53732And how long hath this great Work ceased?
A53732And if it be meant of all the Churches actually in being, how are they visible to me?
A53732And it is enquired, how it is possible that any Rule, Authority, Power or Office, should arise or be erected in such a Society?
A53732And the Enquiry is, How those Believers in one place and the other became to be a Church, and that distinct from all others?
A53732And will the Lord''s Ministers and People yet say, The Time is not come, the Time that the Lord''s House should be Built?
A53732Are they not those who labour in the Word and Doctrine?
A53732For unto what end do they join themselves unto Parochial Churches and Assemblies?
A53732For what Father would endure that any Power should be exercised in his Family as to the disposal of his Children and Estate, but his own?
A53732For whence should they have such a Power, or who should commit it unto them?
A53732HOW many Deacons may there be in one Congregation?
A53732HOW ought persons Excommunicated to be received into the Church upon their Repentance?
A53732I ask who they are, and of what sort?
A53732IT may be farther Enquired, Whether a Man may be Excommunicated for Errors in matters of Faith, or false Opinions about them?
A53732If so, then these Gifts are either ordinary or extraordinary; if ordinary, how come they to be reckoned among Miracles, Healing, and Tongues?
A53732Is it not to do it in that Society, in those Assemblies whereunto they do belong?
A53732Is it not to profess that they will do and observe all whatsoever he commands them?
A53732Is it not, that they might yield obedience unto Christ in their so doing?
A53732Is it time to Build our own Houses, and not the House of the Lord?
A53732Is there not therein virtually a mutual Agreement and Engagement among them unto all those ends?
A53732Isaac Chauncey?].
A53732MAY Deacons Preach the Word and Baptize authoritatively by virtue of their Office?
A53732MAY a Deacon be dismissed from his Office wholly, after he hath been solemnly set apart unto it by Prayer?
A53732MAY a Pastor remove from one Congregation unto another?
A53732MAY a Pastor voluntarily, or of his own accord, resign and lay down his Office, and remain in a private Capacity?
A53732Now to whom should the Keys of the House be committed but unto the Bride?
A53732OUR last Enquiry shall be, Whether Excommunication may be regular and valid, where the matter of Right is dubious and disputable?
A53732So the Apostle expresseth it in himself: Who is weak, and I am not weak?
A53732So they grant the general Assertion of the necessity of Rule, for who can deny it?
A53732THE Authority of a Synod determining Articles of Faith?
A53732THE Sixth Enquiry is, What Time is to be given after solemn Admonition before actual Excommunication?
A53732To what end do they require all Professors of the Protestant Religion so to do, declaring it to be their Duty by penalties annexed unto its neglect?
A53732WHAT is the Duty of the Deacons towards the Elders of the Church?
A53732WHETHER persons Excommunicated out of any Church may be admitted unto the hearing of the Word in the Assemblies of that Church?
A53732What Earthly Prince will bear with such an intrusion into his Rights and Dominion?
A53732What are the Acts and Duties of it?
A53732What is the Skill and Polity that is required unto the Exercise, or Administration of the Government of the Church?
A53732What is the sole Law and Rule of it?
A53732Where is any such Church capable of Communion in all Ordinances in one place?
A53732Who is offended, and I burn not?
A53732Who then are these Elders, these Pastors and Teachers, these Ministers of the Church?
A53732Whose Wit is so barren, as not to be able to raise one exception or other against the plainest and most evident Testimony?
A53732Why so?
A53732With such an one no not to Eat; as that also, Note that Man and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed?
A53732but to all visible Churches Christ hath appointed a visible Pastor or Pastors; and where is the Pastor of the Catholick visible Church?
A53732it is scarce once thought of amongst the most of them, who in various degrees take upon them the Pastoral Office; where are the fruits of it?
A53732what evidence is given of it in any kind?
A53732what 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, Communion or Fellowship hath Light with Darkness?
A53732where can they be seen in one place?
A53732〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, what consistency hath the Temple of God( i. e. the Gospel Church) with Idols?
A5366914. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire, who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
A53669And he said, who told thee that thou wast naked?
A53669And is it not strange, that true and real Sacrifices, should be Types and R presentations of that which was not so?
A53669And shall any dare to deny but it may be so, in things Heavenly, Divine, and Spiritual?
A53669And shall we think otherwise of the Law of God?
A53669And why a new sense should be forged for these words, when they are spoken concerning Christ, who can give a just reason?
A53669But do not these men see that they have hereby given away their Cause which they contend for?
A53669But first, I ask what Reason is it that they intend?
A53669But who was this Word?
A53669But why so I pray?
A53669But, Secondly, Where, or with whom, was this Word in the beginning?
A53669Can any thing be more absonant from Faith and Reason, than this absurd expression?
A53669D ● they say, that by his death he hare testimony unto, and confirmed the truth which he had taught?
A53669Do they say that in what he did, and su ● fered, he set us an Example that we should labour after conformity unto?
A53669Do they say, that he taught the Truth or revealed the whole mind and will of God concerning his Worship and our obedience?
A53669Doth he subsist only in the form or nature of God?
A53669For in their Catechism unto this Question, Is the Lord Jesus Christ, purus Homo, a meer man?
A53669For what is according to this Interpretation the meaning of those words, in the beginning was the Word?
A53669Fourthly, In this gloss what is the meaning of all things?
A53669Hast thou O Son, fallen under the Enemies hand in my stead; am I saved by thy wounds; do I live by thy death?
A53669Hast thou eaten of the Tree whreof I commandeded thee that then shouldst not eat?
A53669He that eateth it, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 shall bear his iniquities, How?
A53669How can three be one, and one be three?
A53669How then will these pretended Masters of Reason reconcile these things?
A53669How then?
A53669How?
A53669If a City be on fire, whose bucket that brings water to quench it ought to be refused?
A53669If a man should have enquired of some of them of old, whether Melchizedeck were purus Homo, a meer man?
A53669Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance?
A53669Morte tuâ vivam?
A53669O the infamous portraicture this Doctrine draws of the Infinite Goodness; is this your retribution, O injurious Satisfactionists?
A53669Or how could the truth of any thing more evidently be represented unto their minds?
A53669Peter said to Ananias, why hath Satan filled thy heart to lye to the Holy Ghost?
A53669Tantane me tenuit vivendi nate voluptas, Vt pro me hostili paterer succedere dextrae Quem genui?
A53669The summ of what they say in general, is, How can these things be?
A53669Then said the Jews unto him, thou art not fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
A53669VVhat is the meaning of were made?
A53669Well, what is that subject matter?
A53669What Reason do they intend?
A53669What is it I pray?
A53669What is their singular herein, concerning how many things may the same be affirmed?
A53669What now can be required to secure our faith in this matter?
A53669What then are they?
A53669What then is this latent sense that is intended, and is discoverable only by themselves?
A53669Whither shall I go from thy Spirit?
A53669converted into flesh, into a Man, so that he who was God ceased so to be, and was turned or changed into flesh, that is a Man?
A53669for then how shall God judge the world?
A53669hath he a divine nature also?
A53669that is, were mended?
A53669tuane haec genitor per vulnera servor?

A53671what, saith he, could have been done more to my Vineyard, that I have not done in it?
A53681And if any attempt to do them evil, what need have they to be troubled thereat?
A53681And what shall they do whose judgment this is?
A53681But by whom are they thus forbidden to preach?
A53681But what would they have us do?
A53681But what would those who make use of ▪ this Objection have us to do?
A53681Do men think he is changed, or that he will approve in them, what he judged and condemned in others?
A53681Do not other Churches mutually charge one another on the same account?
A53681For enquiry may be made, on what Warranty, or by what Rule they may be appointed so to be?
A53681For on the part of persons to be admitted, if they are openly and visibly unworthy, what do we thereby, but what lies in us, to destroy their Souls?
A53681For what, say many, can be more unreasonable, than that things in their own nature indifferent should become unlawful because they are commanded?
A53681Hath not a charge of this Ex ● ● ss been the Ball of Contention in this Nation ever since the Reformation?
A53681How much more may we fear the like fruits and effects from the like Principles and corrupt affections?
A53681Is it probable that the communion and peace of all Churches, and all Christians, are left to be regulated by it?
A53681Is it that this kind of Rule in and over the Church, hath Institution given it in the Scripture, or countenance from Apostolieal Practice?
A53681Is there any Law of Christ, or any Rule of the Gospel, or any Duty of Love, that require them so to do?
A53681May any make a Judgment but themselves, who impose them, when the number of such things grows to a blameable excess?
A53681Or would they have us live in a constant omission of all the Commands of Christ?
A53681Shall we profess the perswasions of our minds in these things; and indeavour by all Lawful means to accomplish what we desire?
A53681Speciosum quidem nomen est Pacis, et pulchra opinio Unitatis: sed quis ambigat eam solam unicam Ecclesiae Pacem esse quae Christi est?

A53681Where is the certainty and stability of this Rule?
A53681Who will harm men, who will be offended with them, whilst they are no otherwise busied in the world?
A53681Will therefore a complyance unto this length better our condition?
A53681Will this Measure satisfie all amongst us?
A53681or give us peace in our latter End?
A53681or what is it that they would perswade us unto?
A53681shall they admit of them as lawful, upon the consideration of that change about them, which renders them unlawful?
A53681shall we live in a perpetual dissimulation of our Judgments as to what needeth Reformation?
A53681shall we not be said any more to want Christian Love, to be factious or guilty of Schism?
A53681shall we then escape the severest censures, as of Persons inclined to Schisms and Divisions?
A53681where are the Limits assigned unto their Power, that they shall exercise it in some concerns of the Kingdom of Heaven, but not in others?
A53681where is the Exception in the grant made to them?
A53681will it deliver us from the severest Reflections of being Persons unpeaceable and intolerable?
A53681will it free us from the imputation we suffer under?
A53681will that answer our Duty?
A53681would they have us starve our souls, by a wilful neglect of the means appointed for their nourishment?
A5373424, 25. until they cryed out in Multitudes, Men and Brethren what shall we do?
A53734And forgettest the Lord thy Maker, that hath stretched forth the Heavens, and laid the Foundations of the Earth?
A53734And hast feared continually every day, because of the Fury of the Oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy?
A53734And how do they behave themselves under this Dealing of God with them?
A53734And how do we know it?
A53734And what Heart can conceive the Glory of this Grace?
A53734And where is the Fury of the Oppressor?
A53734As also, with how great Temptations, Calamities, Oppositions, Persecutions they are exercised?
A53734But how shall they be able so to bear Testimony unto them, as that their witness shall be received and become effectual?
A53734But on what Grounds should they look for these things from him?
A53734But who shall now empower any one hereunto?
A53734But yet what did all the Spring and Well- Heads of Rational and Philosophical Consolation rise unto?
A53734Do they not always pray for his ineffable Presence and Inhabitation?
A53734Do they not find the presence of the Spirit himself by his various Gifts in them by whom Spiritual things are Administred unto them?
A53734Doth he give them up unto their Frowardness?
A53734Doth he leave and forsake them under their Distemper?
A53734For what greater Pledge can we have of the Love and Favour of God?
A53734For what other Affection of Mind can be the Principle hereof from whence it may proceed?
A53734Have not I, saith our Saviour unto them, chosen you Twelve, and one of you is a Devil?
A53734Have there been such Evils in any of us, as wherein it is evident that the Spirit is grieved?
A53734Have they not a proof of Christ speaking in them by the Assistance of his Spirit, making the Word mighty unto all its proper Ends?
A53734Have they not an Experiment of this Administration?
A53734How did he set his Seal to them as his?
A53734How great their Fears?
A53734How many their Discouragements?
A53734How shall it be demonstrated unto us that thou art authorized and enabled to give us the Spiritual Food of our Souls?
A53734How shall that be prevented in his Absence, who was the Life and Spring of all their Comforts?
A53734How therefore doth this Holy Comforter now deal with them?
A53734Is any Man of himself sufficient for these things?
A53734Is it meerly external Operations of the Spirit in Grace that they desire herein?
A53734Now to what end is this glorious Theatre, as it were, prepared, and all this Preparation made, all Men being called to the Preparation of it?
A53734Or what Rules or Directions are given as to their Qualifications, Power or Duty; or how they should be so ordained?
A53734Reproving and convincing of them beyond all Contradiction, they were pricked in their Hearts, and cried out, Men and Brethren, what shall we do?
A53734The sole Enquiry is, Whence we may have this Wisdom, seeing it is abundantly evident that we have it not of our selves?
A53734This no Man can do of himself, for who is sufficient for these things?
A53734VVhat probably are their principal Temptations, their Hinderances and Furtherances; what is their growth or decay in Religion?
A53734WHEREFORE if we take a View of what is the State and Condition of the Church in it self, and in the World: How weak is the Faith of most Believers?
A53734We have not first these Graces, and then by vertue of them receive the Spirit( for whence should we have them of our selves?)
A53734What Church, what Persons have received Authority to Ordain any one to be such an Evangelist?
A53734What Relief can be suited unto them, but what is an Emanation from Infinite Power?
A53734What Sign( say they) dost thou then, that we may see and believe thee?
A53734What Tongue can express it?
A53734What dost thou work?
A53734What greater Assurance of a future, blessed Condition, than that God hath given us of his Holy Spirit?
A53734What greater Dignity can we be made Partakers of?
A53734What is it that Believers intend in that Request?
A53734What way then had God Ordained for the Preservation and Safety of the Church, that it should not be imposed upon by any of these Delusions?
A53734Who see not how different are the Gifts of Men, the Holy Ghost dividing unto every one as he will?
A53734Will any Thoughts of Grace or Mercy relieve or satisfie them, if once they apprehend that the Holy Spirit is not in them, or doth not dwell with them?
A53734how might it appear that he was Authorized and enabled thereunto?
A53734what Refreshment did their Streams afford?
A53726And as he is not obliged( for who hath known the Mind of the Lord, or who hath been his Counsellor?)
A53726And if it be asked, how I know this Scripture to be a Divine Revelation, to be the Word of God?
A53726But how come we to know and believe these Signs?
A53726But is it of this Authority and Efficacy in it self?
A53726But what Ground or Reason have we to believe it?
A53726But what is this Revelation, or where is it to be found?
A53726But what need is there of any long disputation?
A53726But whence I pray hath it this Authority?
A53726But whence are we so perswaded but from it self alone?
A53726But why should we believe this Word of Prophecy?
A53726But why then do not all believe the Gospel?
A53726Doth any Obligation unto believing hence arise?
A53726For the Inquiries managed therein, namely, what is the Obligation upon us to believe the Scripture to be the Word of God?
A53726Hence the Enquiry in this case is, what is the Reason why we believe any thing with this faith divine or supernatural?
A53726How shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?
A53726If any one upon these Principles shall now ask us, Wherefore we believe the Scripture to be the Word of God?
A53726If it be asked how, wherein, or whereby God hath revealed and declared these things so to be, or what is that Revelation which God hath made hereof?
A53726Is not my Word like as fire, saith the Lord?
A53726Sed longa opus est disputatione?
A53726Sed unde oro hanc authoritatem sibi vendicavit?
A53726Si autem Latinè, scirem quid diceret, sed unde scirem an verum diceret?
A53726The Enquiry is what he requireth it unto?
A53726The Question is about the Gospel, or the Declaration of the powerful Coming of Jesus Christ, whether it were to be believed or no?
A53726The material Object of our Faith therefore are the Articles of our Creed, by whose Enumeration we answer unto that question, what we believe?
A53726The only Question is, how it hath discharged it self in this Design?
A53726This gave them indeed sufficient Assurance; but whereinto shall they resolve their Faith who heard not this Testimony?
A53726VVere not this the Word of God, how should it come thus to speak in his Name, and to act his Authority in the Consciences of Men as it doth?
A53726What horrible Darkness, Ignorance and Blindness was upon the whole World with respect unto the Knowledge of God?
A53726What is the Chaff to the Wheat, saith the Lord?
A53726What it is in general, infallibly to believe the Scripture to be the Word of God, and what is the Ground and Reason of our so doing?
A53726Whence could all this proceed but from the watchful Care and Power of divine Providence?
A53726Wherefore we do so believe it?
A53726Why do we so do, on what ground or reason?
A53726Yea but how shall we know the one from the other?
A53726and how shall they hear without a Preacher, and how shall they preach unless they are sent?
A53726and if I should know this also, should I know it of him?
A53726and if it were, upon what Grounds?
A53726and like an Hammer that breaketh the Rock in pieces?
A53726for the living to the dead?
A53726for the living, to the dead?
A53726may not that also be a cunningly devised Fable, and the whole Scripture be but the Suggestions of mens private Spirits, as is objected?
A53726or what it is the believing whereof makes our Faith divine, infallible and supernatural?
A53726quod etsi hoc scirem num& ab illo scirem?
A53726sed unde sumus ita persuasi nisi ab ipsa?
A53726what are the Causes, and what is the Nature of that Faith whereby we do so?
A53726what is the way and means thereof?
A53726what it is that our Faith rests upon herein?
A53726what it rests on, and is resolved into, so as to become a Divine and Acceptable Duty?
A902781 Whether Christ in making satisfaction, underwent that Penalty that was threatned to the Offendors themselves?
A902782 Grant All that here is said, how doth it prove that Christ underwent not the very Penalty of the Law?
A902782 How comes the Sinner by Faith, if it is the Gift of God?
A902782 Whether the Penalty due to One, may not be undergon by Another?
A902782 Whether the Penalty though undergone by another, be not the idem of the Obligation?
A9027820. because he now will, and may, suitablely to his Justice ▪ Wisdome, and Appointment, make out unto them?
A902783 How doth this Elude the force of my Answer?
A902784 Doth not Mr B. suppose, That in the very Tenure of the Obligation there is required a solution, tending to the same End as satisfaction doth?
A902784 That the Law threatned not Christ but us, is most true: but the Question is, Whether Christ underwent not the threatning of the Law, not we?
A902784 To the thing it self, I desire to enquire; 1 What M. B. intends by solutio ejusdem in the businesse in hand?
A90278And may not this hold in things Personal also?
A90278And what said I more?
A90278And what saith Grotius more then this?
A90278But how is all this proved?
A90278But is it from hence, because by his Death, he Purchaseth for them, the compleating of that Condition in them?
A90278But is there any such thing as Deliverance once aimed at, or intended in the tenor of the Obligation?
A90278But is this his mind indeed?
A90278But then, Why doth the Lord bestow Faith on Peter at the 40th yeer of his Age, and not before, or after?
A90278But, Do I not then fight with a shadow?
A90278Can Justice refuse to accept of such a payment?
A90278Can it be any other but the Glory of Gods Justice in the everlasting destruction of the Creature?
A90278Do I labour to prove that which I never Affirmed?
A90278Doth he assert tantundem to be in this matter equivalent unto idem{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}?
A90278Doth he not maintain it to be the Offendors own undergoing the Penalty of the Law?
A90278Else, Why is Faith given him at this instant for Christs sake, and not to another, for whom also he died?
A90278For, What is that Love of God which through Christ is effectual to bestow Faith upon the Unbeleeving?
A90278For: 1; Why doth the Lord bestow Faith on Peter, not on Judas?
A90278He purposed from Eternity, to inflict punishment on Sinners: and on what sinners?
A90278He that spared not his Son, but delivered him up to Death for us all, how shall he not with him freely give us all things?
A90278How then can it possibly be supposed to attain the End spoken of ipso facto?
A90278I ask then, Whence that Assurance doth accrew?
A90278IT is one of the greatest and noblest Questions in our Controverted Divinity, What are the immediate Effects of Christs Death?
A90278If the Second: 1 I desire to know, What is this Intention here assigned to our Saviour?
A90278In respect of punishment abstracting from Persons, the Law was not dispensed withal as to Christ?
A90278In things Real, I gave an Instance before: If a man pay twenty pounds for another who owed it, doth not he pay the idem in the Obligation?
A90278Is it because he was not Primarily in the Obligation?
A90278Is it because the Law doth threaten every man Personally?
A90278Is it from his foresight of their good using their Abilities to fulfil the Condition to them prescribed?
A90278Is it not his main endeavour to prove it so?
A90278Is there any one Argument in my whole Book used to any such purpose?
A90278It is true, he could have made us quickly know it: but who hath been his Counsellour?
A90278Now what excepts M. B. hereunto?
A90278Now what sayes this Argument to the Contrary?
A90278Or will he deny it to be equivalent in Gods Gracious Acceptance?
A90278That dreadful cry, Why hast thou forsaken me?
A90278That is, Whether Christ paid the idem in the Obligation, or tantundum?
A90278That is, Whether God be only a Rector, or a Rector and Creditor also in this Businesse?
A90278They were Potentially in the Purpose of God: but will that make them a meet subject for the Residence of this Right, and Merit whereof we speak?
A90278To what End, you will say, doth Mr Owen adde these Arguments?
A90278What End I pray doth this obtain ipso facto?
A90278What differs this in the Close from absolute freedom?
A90278What now sayes M. B. to this?
A90278What then doth the Lord do, when he thus bestoweth Faith on him?
A90278What then is my Crime?
A90278Whence is this difference?
A90278Where I pray?
A90278Where then is the difference?
A90278Wherein?
A90278Whether Christ paid the idem, or the tantundum?
A90278Why?
A90278Will his words bear any other sense?
A90278Will you deny it?
A90278and if so, Whether it be not the same Penalty( the idem) or no?
A90278never beleeved?
A90278never thought?
A90278or can it require any more?
A53716And how is this done?
A53716And is not the genuine tendance of these things, open the visible unto all?
A53716And is there not a cry for all this, How long, Lord, holy and true, doest thou not avenge our blood on them that live on the earth?
A53716And what doth he discover and reveal?
A53716And what is the ayme of the Lord Jesus herein, whose mighty voice shakes them?
A53716And what is this, that the Lord will have his people to inquire of him about?
A53716And will not the Lord avenge his Elect that cry unto him day and night, will he not do it speedily?
A53716Are not the shakings of these Heavens of the Nations from him?
A53716Are they not called to an account for the transgression of that charge given to all Potentates, Touch not mine Anointed?
A53716Are they not rather gathered up into one spirituall body and communion?
A53716Are you not the residue of all the Chariots of England?
A53716But how should this be?
A53716Canst thou hinder the rain from descending upon the earth when it is falling?
A53716Canst thou stop the Sun from rising at it''s appointed houre?
A53716Doth not Sion cry, The violence done to me and my flesh, be upon Babylon, and my blood upon those Heavens of the Nations?
A53716Doth not the Papall Interest lye at the bottome of all or the most ruling lines of Christendome?
A53716Hath not Germany, and the annexed Territories, her Husse, and Hussile, Hierome and Subutraguians to answer for?
A53716Hath not God unvailed that Harlot, made her naked, and discovered her abominable filthinesse?
A53716Have not all these, and all the Kingdoms round about washed their hands and garments in the blood of thousands of Protestants?
A53716How are such things done in the world?
A53716How are these shaken things removed, which with their shaking they must certainly be, as in my Text?
A53716How have they earned the Titles, Eldest Son of the Church, The Catholick, and most Christian King, Defender of the Faith, and the like?
A53716How the whole Earth hath been rolled in confusion, and the Saints hurried out of the world, to give way to their combined interest?
A53716Is it not from hence, that he may revenge their opposition to the kingdom of his dear Son?
A53716Is it not to frame and form them for the interest of his own kingdom?
A53716Is not the hand of the Lord in all this?
A53716Is not the voice of Christ, in the midst of all this tumult?
A53716Neither shall I insist upon the 3d Inquiry, viz: when this shaking shall be?
A53716Now can a servant do his masters work, if he know not his will?
A53716Now how are Angels and men removed by Christ?
A53716Now what are the Pillars of that fatall Building?
A53716Now what is a civill shaking of civill constitutions?
A53716Now what is the light which God manifestly gives in, in our dayes?
A53716Now what shall be the issue thereof?
A53716Now what, I pray, are the works that the Lord is bringing forth upon the Earth?
A53716Shall not the Decree bring forth?
A53716Shew me the Potentate upon the Earth, that hath a peaceable Molehil, to build himself an habitation upon?
A53716The Heavens of the Nations what are they?
A53716The Rise of our first Vse I shall take from that of the Prophet: Who is wise, and he shall understand these things?
A53716The second thing considerable is, what is the shaking of these things?
A53716These things being past before, how can they be held out under a Promise?
A53716What is the reason that some stand in the market place idle all the day?
A53716What, I pray, hath been their main businesse for 700. years and upward, even almost ever since the Man of Sin was enthroned?
A53716Whence comes it to passe, that so many Nations are wasted, destroyed, spoiled, in the dayes wherein we live?
A53716Will he not call the fowls of Heaven to eat the flesh of Kings, and Captains, and great men of the Earth?
A53716Will he not make these Heavens like the wood of the vine, not a pin to be taken off them to hang a garment on, in his whole tabernacle?
A53716Wouldest thou labour for honour, if thou knewest that God at this time, were labouring to lay all the Honour of the Earth in the dust?
A53716and can any expect that such as these, should take up the despised quarrell of the Saints, against that flourishing Queen?
A53716are they not the powers of the world as presently stated and framed?
A53716can that be ejected without unbottoming their own dominion?
A53716did not their bodies lye in the streets of France, under the names of Waldenses, Albigenses, and poore men of Lyons?
A53716do they not use the efficacy of the Romane jurisdiction to ballance the powers of their Adversaries abroad, and to awe their Subjects at home?
A53716hath he not a consider able strength in every one of their own Bosomes?
A53716hath it not been by the blood of Saints?
A53716is it not in vain to fight against the Lord?
A53716is not Spaine''s Inquisition enough to ruine a world, much more a Kingdom?
A53716is there any wisdome or counsell against the most high?
A53716is there not in every one of these kingdoms, the slain, and the banished ones of Christ to answer for?
A53716of these materiall visible Heavens and Earth?
A53716prudent, and he shall know them?
A53716pull them away, and, alas, what is Antichrist?
A53716rejoyce in the midst of so many evils and troubles, in the most whereof they were to have a Benjamins messe, a double portion?
A53716some work for a season, and then give over, they know not how to go a step farther, but after a day, a week, a month, or yeer, are at a stand?
A53716that God hath taken quietnesse and peace from the Earth?
A53716that he may shake out of the midst of them, all that Antichristian mortar, wherewith from their first chaos they have been cemented?
A53716that so the kingdoms of the Earth, may become the kingdoms of the Lord Jesus: Is not the controversie of Sion pleaded with them?
A53716the most neglect the duty which of them is required: what is the reason of all this?
A53716what are these Earthquakes?
A53716what is he doing in our own and the Neighbour Nations?
A53716will the conception for thee dwell quietly in the wombe beyond it''s month?
A53716worse then all this, some counterwork the Lord with all their strength?
A53702According to this Rule the Prophet persisted in his Ministry The Sum of his Sermon?
A53702All that can be said, is, Who knows but that the Lord may repent and turn from the fierceness of his Wrath?
A53702And Jesus answering, said unto them ▪ Suppose ye that these Galileans were Sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things?
A53702And as for them who scosf at these things, and say, Where is the Promise of his Coming?
A53702And if this Spring be stopped, whence should the refreshing VVaters of Repentance and Reformation arise?
A53702Are there no Failings, no Decays in these things?
A53702Are there no Indispositions, Deadness and Coldness in Duties, grown upon you?
A53702Are there not sins amongst us against the Lord our God, proper unto our State, and according to our Measure?
A53702But are men changed, renewed, converted to God by the Doctrine of this Religion?
A53702But what if they do all those Abominations?
A53702Can any thing be more just and equal?
A53702Can the Aethiopian change his Skin, or the Leopard his spots?
A53702For what will some say, doth this speaking unto a few in a Retirement signifie as unto a General Reformation of the People of the Land?
A53702Have not Prosessors sinned?
A53702Have we not turned a deaf ear to all the Calls of God?
A53702Hearken not unto vain words; this or that way we shall be delivered; it is the Day of our Trial, and who knows what will be the Evening thereof?
A53702Here is much talk indeed of the Judgments of God, and of their near Approach; When shall we see them?
A53702How is it as unto constant Meditation on spiritual things, and the fixing your Affections on things that are above?
A53702How is it as unto the inward frame of the heart?
A53702How will England answer for abused Mercies in the Day of Visitation?
A53702I desire to ask of any, Hath not the Church sinned?
A53702If we are sincere herein, if we are servent in these Supplications, is it nothing unto us, when all these things are quite contrary amongst us?
A53702Most men now despise these, things, but can their hearts endure, or can their hands be strong in the Day that the Lord shall deal with them?
A53702Or those Eighteen, upon whom the Tower in Siloam fell, and slew them; think ye that they were Sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
A53702Our next Enquiry is, Whence, or from what Causes such a Reformation may be expected, as may be useful unto the turning away of impendent Judgments?
A53702Our third Enquiry is, What Evidences we have at present, or what Warnings we have had of approaching Judgments?
A53702Seest thou, saith God, to Elijah, how he humbleth himself?
A53702The Lion, saith he, hath roared, who will not fear?
A53702This we may therefore evidently try our selves by; what real Change hath there been in us, in compliance with the Calls of God?
A53702Unto what end did God grant them a Day, such a day of Grace and Patience which they could not make use of?
A53702VVe are all Protestants, and will abide to be of the Protestant Religion; but wherein?
A53702VVhere is your readiness to forgive your Enemies?
A53702Was thine Anger against thy Rivers?
A53702Was thy wrath against the Sea?
A53702What Reformation hath been engaged in on this account?
A53702What can save a People by whom the only Remedies of their Relief are despised?
A53702What if all these Means do fail?
A53702What is required unto that Reformation, which may save any Nation, this wherein we live, from desolating Calamities, when they are deserved?
A53702What is the vigour and power of Faith and Love in you?
A53702When shall we see the Generality of all sorts of men in this Nation cordially to go about this Work of Repentance and Reformation?
A53702Where is now your Mouth and your Vauntings, with respect unto these Judgments of God?
A53702Where is your Fruitfulness in works of Charity and Mercy?
A53702Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his Sins?
A53702Who can complain, if after all this, evil doth overtake you, and you shall not escape?
A53702Who dares make this a plea with God for it, namely, that yet it is free and innocent from such and such provoking Sins?
A53702Who hath complied with the Calls of God herein?
A53702and equal?
A53702are they made Humble, Holy, Zealous, fruitful in good Works by it?
A53702have they experience of the power of it in their own Souls in its transforming of them into the Image of God?
A53702how do they act themselves; what is your real delight in the ways of God?
A53702that so many difficulties are esteemed to be in it; so as that there is little hope it will be found among us in a prevalent degree?
A53702what Dissimulation in Love hath been cured or cast out?
A53702what Passions or Affections have been reduced into Order, which have exceeded their due Bounds and Measures?
A53702what have we relinquished in our ways, frames or actings?
A53702what if all Expectations from them be in vain?
A53702what irregular actings in our Persons, Families or Occasions of Life have been forsaken?
A53702what vain Communication, formerly accustomed unto, hath been watched against and prevented?
A53702what vain thoughts are utterly excluded, whereunto we have given entertainment?
A53702when shall he bring forth his Work?
A53702who can complain of his share and interest in the Calamities that are coming upon us?
A53702who can plead that he ought to be exempted?
A53702who hath mourned, who hath trembled, who hath sought for an Entrance into the Chambers of Providence in the Day of Indignation?
A53702who shall pity us in the day of Distress?
A53702why do not they come?
A902912 What it is, to stagger at the Promise?
A90291And can any good come from thence?
A90291And is it possible that deliverance should arise from a Crucified man?
A90291And shall we stop at the first Part?
A90291Are not all the Streams of the same Nature with the Fountain?
A90291But is this all?
A90291But you will say, Though God be thus able, thus Alsufficient, yet may there not be Defects in the Means whereby he worketh?
A90291Call him out to the Battel, and then keep away his Crown?
A90291Can he heal my Back- slidings?
A90291Can he pardon my Sins?
A90291Can he save my Soul?
A90291Christ comes to Peter and asks him, Simon, Son of Jonas, lovest thou me?
A90291For want of Power in him?
A90291For, saith the Lord, Can a woman forget her sucking Child, that she should not have compassion on the Son of her womb?
A90291Hath he no further Aime?
A90291Hath not this been held out as a Mountain?
A90291He replyes, Lord God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless?
A90291How can this be,( sayes Zechariah) that I should have a Son?
A90291How is it that Jesus Christ, is in Ireland only as a Lyon stayning all his garments with the bloud of his Enemies?
A90291How long shall I suffer you?
A90291How long shall I suffer you?
A90291How shouldest thou be forgotten?
A90291If that be bitter, can they be sweet?
A90291If the Body be full of Poyson, will not the Branches have their Venome also?
A90291Is it for want of Love?
A90291Is it not the evil Root of Vnbelief?
A90291Is it possible( saith he) this little Thing should safe- gaurd my Life in the Ocean?
A90291Is it the Soveraignty and Interest of England that is alone to be there transacted?
A90291Is not all this to make way for the Lord Jesus to take Possession of his long since Promised Inheritance?
A90291Is not then a grant rare, when his People are silent as to Prayers?
A90291Is this to be thankful, to forget our provoking Thoughts of Unbelief, when the Mercy is enjoyed?
A90291Is this to deal fairly with the Lord Jesus?
A90291It is said of one place, Christ could do no great Work there: Why so?
A90291Let us now see whether any of these things, be wanting to the Promises of God: and begin we with the First: 1 Is there Truth in these Promises?
A90291May he not be turned, and then what becomes of the Golden Mountains, that I Promised my self upon his Engagement?
A90291Now how can the Promise stand in the way of this Hydra?
A90291Now says God to Syon, Why sayest thou, I have forgotten thee?
A90291O faithless and perverse Generation, how long shall I be with you?
A90291O thou of little Faith( saith our Saviour) wherefore diddest thou doubt?
A90291Or, 2 Will it be for the Credit and Honour of your Profession of the GOSPEL, That such a breach should be under your hand?
A90291Peter is commanded to obey the Vision,{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman} nothing doubting: What is that?
A90291Place the Doubt aright, and it is this, Is God able to accomplish what he hath spoken?
A90291That it should be( as it were) by your means?
A90291The Promise can do no great Work upon thy heart, to humble thee, to pardon to quiet thee; Is it for want of Fulness and Truth therein?
A90291The Soul is apt to ask how can this be?
A90291They trusted once, but now seeing him slain and crucified, they know not what to say to it: What then?
A90291To make this the more plain, I must open these two things: 1 What is the Promise here intended?
A90291We cry, Lord Jesus, Lovest thou us?
A90291What a Silence hath been in the Heaven of many Churches, for this last half hour?
A90291What building is that like to be, which hath a staggering Foundation?
A90291What do they now stand at?
A90291What does he then?
A90291What is the Root that bears this Fruit of Staggering?
A90291What now lyes at the Bottom of all this?
A90291What sayes it to this combined Opposition?
A90291What then shall we do?
A90291Who can bear the just Scandal that would accrew?
A90291Who would not put their Trust in thee?
A90291Will it not be a Sword, and an Arrow, and a Maul in the hands of your Observers?
A90291and agai ● ● Lord Jesus, Lovest thou us?
A90291and none to hold him out as a Lamb sprinkled with his own bloud to his friends?
A90291and what will all these things avail me?
A90291do they quite give over all trusting in him?
A90291shall he give over, never more enquire after this buried Christ, but sit down in darknesse and sorrow?
A90291shall the faithlesness of men, make the Faith of God of none effect?
A90291what a search into the Vessel?
A90291what will it benefit me, to have a multitude of earthly enjoyments, and leave them in the close to my Servant?
A90291wherefore do ye doubt?
A49114And I never heard as yet that any have questioned the sufficiency of the injunction; about what then is the contest?
A49114And now I beg leave to reason the case briefly with my dissenting brethren, Quae tanta fuit causa?
A49114And what if we should say with the Poet, Inest sua gratia verbis?
A49114And what pity is it when the General Assembly teach it so well to others, any particular members should make it a castaway in their own practice?
A49114Are there not too many enemies, both in opinion and practice, to our Lords Prayer?
A49114Bishop Usher in his body of Divinity, to the Question, What is the Lords prayer?
A49114But what if the Latine Church and Fathers have used it for above a thousand years?
A49114But what if the asserting of a commanded duty doe confirme some in causeless prejudices?
A49114Do not some men forget the Publicans confession, and onely satisfie themselves with the Pharisees congratulation?
A49114I read in St. Ambrose, after he had expounded the rest of our Lords Prayer thus; Quid sequitur?
A49114If our Saviour have prescribed us a forme, how shall any man dare to prescribe another?
A49114It may be your hearts are stupid at the reading of the Scriptures, must that Ordinance therefore cease?
A49114Job saith the same, How forcecible are right words?
A49114Nay, when we doe the same thing in other parts of Gods Worship, why should we disallow our selves in this?
A49114Or what if any should argue thus; Our Saviour hath prescribed us this form, therefore those in Hosea, Joel,& c. are unlawful to be used?
A49114Quae potest esse magis spiritualis oratio quàm qua verè à Christo data est, à quo nobis Spiritus Sanctus missus est?
A49114Quis discrevit?
A49114St. Augustine resolves the greatest of these doubts in a Question, Quid est debitum nisi peccatum?
A49114The Preface; what term of invocation gives better incouragement then( Father?)
A49114What better promise then the forgiveness of sins?
A49114What followes?
A49114When ye pray, say, how unreasonable it is to affirm that the prescript should concern the matter, or the method only, and not the form of words also?
A49114Whether the saying of these words be a part of the worship of God?
A49114Who doubts of this?
A49114Without doubt we may; Our Saviour bids when we pray to enter into our closets; Quere whether we may at any time pray and not enter into our closets?
A49114are not the Consequences of neglecting it extremely sad?
A49114are not those faults grown rise and common, against which our Saviour prescribed this prayer as a remedy?
A49114for what can Christians better confide in then in their Prayers; and what Prayer is like to be more safe and effectual then this?)
A49114or can any man doe it without casting on this, the roproch of imperfection and insufficiencie?
A49114or he that setteth a stone tumbling down the hill, blame it for not stopping where he would have it?
A49114or what reason hath any to distinguish, where the Law of God doth not?
A49114was it any thing intrinsecal and essential to the Prayer?
A49114what great cause prevailed with them to neglect so good a practice?
A49114what is our debt but our sin?
A49114what should be more dear and familiar to us?
A49114what sufficient cause of divorce between these two can be assigned?
A49114what works greater reverence then( Heaven?)
A49114why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
A902962. you only have I known of all the families of the earth, what then?
A902967. why are these things hidden from the great and wise of the world, and revealed to babes and children, but because, O Father, so it pleased thee?
A90296A captive as we are all, can not be delivered without redemption, which is Jesus Christ: and what shall the prisoner do without his ransom?
A90296Abraham wanting a childe, complains, What will the Lord do for me, seeing I go childelesse, and this Eliezer of Damascus must be my heire?
A90296And what is England, that it should be amongst the choice branches of the vineyard, the top boughs of the Cedars of God?
A90296And what shall we say to these things?
A90296But is this the utmost period of Englands sinning, and Gods shewing mercy, in continuing and restoring of the Gospel?
A90296Christles men, and godles men, and hopeles men, and what greater distresse in the world?
A90296Doth not Wales cry, and the North cry, yea and the West cry, Come and help us?
A90296Doth the King of Heaven lay open the treasures of his wisedom, knowledge and goodnesse for us, and we despise them?
A90296From such as these, who almost hath not suffered?
A90296Had not the brethren strove in the wombe, Rebekah had not asked, Why am I thus?
A90296He that abuseth the choisest of mercies, shall have judgement without mercy; What can help them, who reject the counsell of God for their good?
A90296How often also hath this Land forfeited the Gospel?
A90296How shall I make thee as Admah?
A90296How shall I set thee as Zeboim?
A90296Hunger can not truly be satisfied without manna, the bread of life, which is Jesus Christ: and what shall a hungry man do that hath no bread?
A90296Is it not the daily language of your hearts, Whom have we in heaven but thee?
A90296It is true, there be many that say, who will shew us any good?
A90296Let not truth be weighed in the balance of our interest; Will not a dram of that, turn the scale with some against many arguments?
A90296Liberatur pars hominum, parte pereunte; sed ● ur horum misertus sit Deus, i ● orum non misertus, quae scientia comprehendere potest?
A90296Never to be borne, then not to die in thee?
A90296Noli irritare crabrones, Si lapidet teras nonne ignis erumpit?
A90296Now if all these be passed by, to whom is the report of the Lord made known?
A90296Now is all this variety, think you, to be ascribed unto chance, as the Philosopher thought the world was made by a casuall concurrence of atomes?
A90296Now what fruits doth it require?
A90296Now what shall we say to these things?
A90296Nunc igitur si ● ▪ ominis edium ● st ▪ quis romirum reatus?
A90296Nunc vero ● i nominis odium ● st, quis nominum reatus?
A90296O Lord, how was England of late by thy mercy delivered from this snare?
A90296O blessed Jesus, how much better were it, not to be, then to be without thee?
A90296O that Wales, O that Ireland, O that France, Where shall I stop?
A90296Or what have they that they have not received?
A90296Secondly, presupposing this variety in the outward means, how is it that thereupon, one is taken, another left?
A90296Semper ego auditor tantum?
A90296Si accusasse suffic ● et, quis erit innocens?
A90296Thirst can not be quenched, without that water or living spring, which is Jesus Christ: and what shall a thirsty soul do without water?
A90296What guides these wheels?
A90296What shall be given unto thee, oh thou false tongue?
A90296What then remains?
A90296Who hath made the possessors of the Gospel to diff ● r from others?
A90296Who thus stears his word for the good of souls?
A90296Who would not purchase with the greatest distresse that heavenly comfort, which is in the return of prayers?
A90296a Captain being chosen for the return of this people into Egypt: on how hath thy grace fought against our backsliding?
A90296and in earth there is nothing in comparison of thee?
A90296are we not the posterity of Idolatrous Progenitors?
A90296how comes it, that this Iland glories in a Reformation, and Spain sits still in darknes?
A90296how did their old father of Rome refresh his spirit, to see such Chariots as those provided, to bring England again unto him?
A90296if they knew the value of the hidden pearl, and these things were to be purchased, what would such poor souls not part with for them?
A90296is it because we were better then they?
A90296might not the Lord have said unto us, What shall I do unto thee, oh Island?
A90296much more may a man without the means of grace complain, What shall be done unto me, seeing I go Gospellesse?

A90296what would helplesse Macedonians give for one enjoiment?
A90296would not life it self, with a confluence of all earthly endearements, be a very hell without him?
A90296● go Ancillae tuae fidem ● a bui, nonne tu imp ● den ●, qui nec mihi ipsi credis?
A90280And how doth it appear so to be?
A90280And is it safe to deale so with the Scripture?
A90280And what should possibly infect me with that leaven?
A90280At the first Revelation of these things, nature is amazed, cries, how can these things be?
A90280But I pray what cause of Triumph or boasting is in all this goodly discovery?
A90280But may not this be said of God himselfe, as well as of his word?
A90280But then saith he, the Grammarians were the Inventours of these points, why so?
A90280But what doth this Law and Testimony, that is, this written Word plead, on the account whereof, it should be thus attended unto?
A90280But what if all this should prove the ignorance and prejudice of Morinus?
A90280But what is the great discovery here made?
A90280But what sayes he now himselfe?
A90280Can not Sathan cause a Voice to be heard in the Aire, and so deceive us?
A90280Can we entertaine any thought of his effectuall working in us, and upon us, but it includes this whole Doctrine?
A90280Could we heare a Voice from Heaven, accompanied with such a divine power, as to evidence its selfe to be from God, should we not rest in it as such?
A90280Dicésve me haec omnia mutuatum à Buxtorfio?
A90280Doth it not evince its selfe, with an Assurance above all that can be obteined by any Testimony whatever?
A90280Have we in this sense received the Scripture from that Church, as it is called?
A90280How did the Church of Rome re ● eive the Scriptures?
A90280How know we that the Scripture is the Word of God; how may others come to be assured thereof?
A90280How long shall this be in the heart of the Prophets that Prophesy lies?
A90280How many do yet stumble& fall at it?
A90280How should we be able to know it to be the Voice of God?
A90280If then we thus receive the Scriptures from the Church of Rome, why( in particular) do we not receive the Apocryphall Books also, which she receives?
A90280Is he not sent from the Father, by the Son?
A90280Is it meet that a matter of so huge importance, called into Question by none but themselves should be cast and determined by their conjectures?
A90280It was the worke of the Grammarians to know these things, therefore not to invent them; Did they invent the Radicall and servile Letters?
A90280Itáne?
A90280Now did not this 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 accompany the written Word at its first giving forth?
A90280Now whence is this Holy Ghost?
A90280Of Tradition in Generall afterwards ▪ But is it not evident that the miracles whereof they speak, are preserved in the Scripture and no otherwise?
A90280Quomodo ergo Scribae quidam vulgares hanc audaciam sibi arrogâssent, textum sacrum in literis& sensu corrigere?
A90280Tradition, Authority of the Church, Miracles, consent of men?
A90280What Reason is in the first part of this verse, why the Scripture is not of our private interpretation?
A90280What Thousands?
A90280What doth it urge for its Acceptation?
A90280What have they not done?
A90280What have they not invented?
A90280What have they not suffered?
A90280What is there in the whole Book of God, that nature at first sight doth more recoyle at, then the Doctrine of the Trinity?
A90280What now have they not done in adding, detracting, corrupting, forging, aspersing those Scriptures to falsifie their pretended trust?
A90280What strange horrible fruits and effects have mens contrivances on this account produced?
A90280What then have these men done in the discharge of their pretended trust?
A90280What various, what pernitious senses shall we have to contend about?
A90280Why do they do so?
A90280Why do they give this Authority to that Book rather then another?
A90280Would it be otherwise in this case if the Scripture must stand to the mercy of man for the Reputation of its Divinity?
A90280and say, they are sold to worke all these abominations?
A90280and yet continued in dread and bondage all their daies?
A90280are not the first most false, and is not the last blasphemous?
A90280are they ashamed as a thiefe when he is taken?
A90280can wickednesse yet make any farther progresse?
A90280did God appoint his word to be Written, that so he might destroy its Authority?
A90280doe they think that men will part with the possession of Truth upon so easy tearmes?
A90280how seriously they do of nothing?
A90280if it did not, as was said, how could any man be obliged to discerne it from all delusions; if it did, how came it to loose it?
A90280is that Church able to give such a credibility to any thing?
A90280is there any thing in the VVriting of it by Gods Command, that should impaire its Authority?
A90280may it not be extended to all places, as well as to any?
A90280nay do they not boast themselves in their iniquity?
A90280nay what hath that Synagogue left unattempted?
A90280or doth it speak 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, and stand only upon its owne Soveraignty?
A90280or doth the Scripture stand in need of such a credibility to be given to it from that Church?
A90280or what opposition in the latter to that Assertion?
A90280shall we say that she is authorized to give out what seemes Good to her, as the Word of God?
A90280that is a Glorious light that shines into the hearts of men; Is it for want of Testimony to assert this light?
A90280that they will be cast from their inheritance by divination?
A90280what fools, what Sots as to such a divine work?
A90280what will be the issue, or naturall inference from these Premises?
A90280whither he should obey God in believing, or sin in the rejecting of it?
A90280yea what hath it left unfinished, that may be needfull to convince it of perfidiousnesse?
A9027614.?
A902763.?
A90276And doth not the charge rise up with equall efficacy against you as them?
A90276And why did not our Saviour on that dispute, plainly satisfy them, that Peter was to be chiefe?
A90276And will they condemne others in what they practise themselves?
A90276But chose rather to so determine the Question, as to evince them of the vanity of any such enquiry?
A90276But do these men know what they say, or will it ever trouble the Conscience of a man in his right wits, to be charged with Schisme on this account?
A90276But doe we not receive the Scripture it selfe upon the Authority of the Church?
A90276But is Schisme so a sinne against Charity?
A90276But let that be supposed, what is next?
A90276But what hath not an irrationall attempt of enthroning opinions put men upon?
A90276But what is next to this?
A90276But what pretence, or colour of it, is there for this Assertion?
A90276But who is sufficient for such an attempt?
A90276Call the whole Church together, and try what we will doe?
A90276Centuries following?
A90276Do we not beare with each other?
A90276Doe we live in strife, and variance?
A90276Doe we not joyne in every Congregation in the Nation?
A90276Doe we not joyne in externall acts of worship in Peace with the whole Church?
A90276For what have we done?
A90276Have not I liberty to call for Reformation according to the Scripture only?
A90276Have we not seen that head taking his flesh in his teeth, tearing his body and his limbs to pieces?
A90276Hence( for instance) is that doubty dispute in the world; whether a Schismatick doth belong to the Church, or noe?
A90276Here lye all the difficulties, whether being come together in the name of Christ they may doe, what he hath commanded them, or no?
A90276How, or by what Act did God unchurch them?
A90276I aske whether these converted persons may nor possibly come together, or assemble themselves in the name of Jesus?
A90276I much question, whether any one would think fit to call these men Schismaticks?
A90276If any one now shall say, will you conclude, because this evill mentioned by the Apostle is Schisme, therefore nothing else is so?
A90276If any shall aske, How then is it possible, that any such Churches should be raised a new?
A90276If but one, why those of England, Scotland, and Ireland, were not one also; especially since they have been under one Civill Magistrate?
A90276If not, what have the Romanists, Italians, to doe to judge us?
A90276If seven, how they came to be one?
A90276Is an injunction for the performance of duty, a grant of new Authority?
A90276Is any thing more cleerly and fully prophesy''d on then Christ?
A90276Is it that we are departed from the Faith of the people of God in England?
A90276It is said, that true Churches were at first planted in England; how then, or by what means did they cease so to be?
A90276Must we believe Armies raised, and battailes fought, Townes fired, all in pure love, and perfect Church order?
A90276Not one Law of Order?
A90276Shall the tumultuating of a few in a corner of Africk, blot out the remembrance of the late diffus ● on of Arrianisme over the world?
A90276Sin autem Apostoli tradiderunt Eccclesiis verbum Dei sine intelligentia verbi Dei, quomodo praedicarunt Evangelium omni Creaturae?
A90276Tell me when or how we were members of your Church?
A90276The most of the enquiries that are made, and disputed on, whether this or that sort of men belongs to the Church or no?
A90276The second thing inquired after is, what subjection we stood, or were supposed to have stood in, to the Bishops?
A90276They aske us why not Ordination from the Church of Rome, as well as the Scripture?
A90276What Eminencie of commission for teaching all Nations, or for, giving sinnes?
A90276What do the Chiefest, choisest pillars, eldest sonnes, and I know not what of their Church at this day?
A90276What hath been the residue of thir Proselytes?
A90276What was peculiar in that triple command of feeding the sheep of Christ, but his triple deniall, that preceded?
A90276Where was your Religion in the dayes of Christ and his Apostles?
A90276Whether we had seven Churches here in England, during the Heptarchy of the Saxons, and one in Wales or but one in the whole?
A90276Why so?
A90276Will it evince all the members of their Church to be Regenerate, or only some?
A90276and if so, whether from thence any may not discerne whereon the Vnity of the Church of England doth depend?
A90276doe they not disavow all obedience to them who were their legall Superiours in that constitution?
A90276doe they not kill, destroy, and ruine each other, as they are able?
A90276doe they retaine either matter or forme, or any thing, but that naked name of that Church?
A90276doe we break any bond of Union, wherein we are bound, by the expresse institutions of Jesus Christ?
A90276doe we not worship God without disputes and divisions?
A90276doth it supplant, and root out Love out of the heart?
A90276have they not done the same?
A90276have they not rejected their Nationall Officers, with all the bonds, tyes and ligaments of the Union of that pretended Church?
A90276have they not renounced the way of worship, established by the Law of the Land?
A90276have we differences and contentions in our Assemblies?
A90276is it an affection of the minde attended with an inconsistency therewith?
A90276let them goe to the Churches, with whom we walke, of whom we are, and aske of them concerning our wayes, our Love, and the duties of it?
A90276or at least to professe that my Conscience can not be bound to any other?
A90276or whether the difference of the Civill Laws of these Nations be not the only cause, that these are three Churches?
A90276they will not sustaine any such crimination: Is it that we have forsaken the Church of England as under its Episcopall constitution?
A90276what distinction between Peter and the rest of the Apostles on this account, is once made, or in any kind insinuated?
A90276wherein doth our guilt consist?
A90276wherein lyes the peculiar concernment of these 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉?
A537046.16 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉; as many as walk according to this Rule; and what Rule is that?
A53704And is it any wonder if men question whether they are from Heaven or of Men?
A53704And what Power can such Churches act towards Kings, Potentates, or Rulers of Nations?
A53704And what shall these Constitutions be about, what shall they extend unto?
A53704And who is he that shall take this from them, or deprive them of its exercise, or Right thereunto?
A53704Are these our Principles, are these our Practices?
A53704Are they determined to be necessary in the Scripture, the Rule of Faith?
A53704Are they of the Institution of Christ or his Apostles?
A53704Be it so; What is our or his concernment herein?
A53704But it was the Will of God, that there should be all those things in the Gospel Church- State also, or else why do men contend about them?
A53704But may there not be other Causes of peaceable withdrawing from the Communion of a Church, besides these here enumerated?
A53704But then comes in the Advantage; doth, saith he, this Kindness belong only unto some of our Parochial Churches?
A53704But those of whom Justice Hobart speaks were such, for he saith they first submitted unto the Apostles and afterwards to other Pastors; What then?
A53704But when all is done; what if these Constitutions and Orders should be no ways needful or useful unto the Preservation of the Peace of the Church?
A53704But who are so blind as those who will not see?
A53704But why should we contend fruitlesly about these things?
A53704But why so?
A53704But why so?
A53704Do we think that all this was without c ● use?
A53704Doth he judge us to be such as have no Love unto God?
A53704For saith he, Have those of the Congregational way since altered their Judgment?
A53704For who can think it meet, that every single Parish should be entrusted with the exercise of all Church- Rule and Power among themselves?
A53704From my Concession that some at least of our Parochial Churches are true Churches; he asks, in what sense?
A53704Hath D. O. yielded that in case some termes of Communion in our Church, were not insisted on, they would give over Separation?
A53704How comes this allowance to be made unto them, which else where is denied?
A53704I desire to know, unto whom these Rules are Obligatory?
A53704If he were not, why is he not once called on to discharge his duty in curing of that Schism, or blamed for his neglect?
A53704If it shall be asked then, why did they not formerly agree in the Assemby?
A53704Is it not, in whether of these Churches Edification may be best obtained?
A53704Is it of Divine Institution?
A53704Is it that which all men must be subject to on pain of eternal damnation?
A53704Is it the heart and center of Christian Religion?
A53704Is it when it is taught and preach''d by the Guides and Governours of the Church, or any of them without controul?
A53704Is this Church- State from Heaven?
A53704It would seem to follow more evidently, that no Form at all should by any be appointed; for what shall he do that cometh after the King?
A53704Our Enquiry therefore is, Whereon the Continuation of this Church- State, unto the end of the World, doth depend; what are the Causes?
A53704What are the Means of it?
A53704What are we Concern''d in them; is every Separation from a Church a Schisme?
A53704What if a supposition that they are so, reflects dishonour on the Wisdom and Love of Christ?
A53704What if any one should now dissent from these Constitutions and not submit unto them?
A53704What if they are the great ways and means of breaking the Vnity and Peace of the Church?
A53704What if they are unlawful and unwarrantable, the Lord Christ not having given Power and Authority unto any sort of men to make any such Constitutions?
A53704What is intended by this Rule?
A53704What is of Men is not from Heaven?
A53704What was hereon their Conversation?
A53704Who doth not almost tremble at them?
A53704Who is it that shall make these Orders and Constitutions that must be observed for the Preservation of the Unity and Peace of the Church?
A53704Who shall appoint the Orders intended?
A53704Who shall judge of their Necessity?
A53704Who shall judge them to be Lawful?
A53704Who shall make it lawful for them to neglect what he requires at any time?
A53704Who shall make it unlawful for the Disciples of Christ to obey the Commands of their Lord and Master?
A53704Who that reads the Words can possibly pretend unto any such conception of their meaning?
A53704Whose fault is it, that these Churches are not meet for the exercise of that Power which Christ hath granted unto such Churches?
A53704Will they say, it is with the National, or Diocesan Churches?
A53704Yea what scoffing at the power of Religion doth abound amongst us?
A53704against Causeless Separations from a true Church; and by whom are they not condemned?
A53704are they Competent for it?
A53704are they meet?
A53704are they to make such a Judgement on the Doctrine of their Guides; do they know what is heresie; have they read Epiphanius or Binius?
A53704do we give any countenance unto them by any thing we say or do?
A53704from Heaven or of Men?
A53704hath the Reverend Author in his whole Book once attempted to prove it to be so, though this be the whole of the matter in difference between us?
A53704is it Cemented, United, and Compacted or fitly framed together by these things?
A53704is it the Rule given by the Apostle?
A53704such as prefer our own profit before the Unity of the Church?
A53704what shall any one ordain in the Church, which the Lord Christ thought not meet to ordain?
A53704who they are that ought to yeild Obedience unto them?
A8700922. about the third yeare of N ● ro, yet that he had fully built and setled the Hierarchicall fabrick contended for, who once dares question?

A87009And how then can the question be here said to be begged by me?
A87009And if such arguments as these will not prove Episcopacy to be of Apostolicall constitution, what will prevaile with men so to esteeme it?
A87009And is it impossible for any Author that was once corrupted, ever to be reformed, for that to be cleansed, which was once sullyed?
A87009And so what could have been more exactly performed, than that which these Objectors can not take notice of to be done at all?
A87009And then can it be said, that they were frustrated in their hope?
A87009And then what analogie beares this with the hypothesis of the Prefacer, what unkinde aspect hath it on the Prelatist''s pretensions?
A87009And then what offence was there in my calling them Apostolicall persons?
A87009And what I pray you is the reason of his Episcopal censure?
A87009And who ever required other ground ● of narrations of notorious facts, than the common unquestioned affirmations of men?
A87009And why so?
A87009And, I pray, doth not Blondel fetch his argument in this place of Clement from th ● se, and none but these?
A87009But I shall demand, can any thing like that be drawn out of the place in Clement?
A87009But how does the Doctour make good this first step, which y ● … if he could, would doe him no good a ● … all?
A87009But it may be said, what need we any more writing, what need we any truer proof, or testimony?
A87009Does all this relate to immediate Revelation, and are all things done thereby which we are said to doe in the spirit?
A87009Have I said a word in defence of those, that have any of those foisted passages in them?
A87009How many things both have alwaies deceived, and doe daily deceive persons, that are not suspicious, and upon their guard?
A87009I pray where doth our Saviour testifie this, that they desired to see it, and saw it not?

A87009Is there any one word, iota, tittle, or syllable in the whole B ● o ● of God giving countenance to any such distinctions?
A87009It is an ugly word, but sure I am not guilty of it: For doth not Blondel say, non ab Episcopi nutu, sed a multitudinis praeceptis?

A87009Or can a man be bound to prove his assertion, before he hath explained what he meanes by it, or upon what grounds of credibility he affirmes it?
A87009Or may not I be able to appear in defence of the innocent blamelesse creature, though I can not of the shameless and prostitute?

A87009Secondly, why might not he be a Syrian, and write as a Syro- Graecian would write, although his Epistles were dated from Troas and Smyrna?
A87009To which I shall now farther adde: If it were not so, why did the Church send up Paul and Barnabas thither?
A87009Upon their first appearing in the world what is the entertainment they receive?
A87009What Soveraignty, Power, Rule, Dominion is ascribed to them?
A87009What Titles are given to Bishops?
A87009What could be more expresse and visible, than the occasion and particular reasons of this addresse?
A87009What is there in this above the proportion of moderate and sound doctrine?
A87009What matter for that?
A87009What now follows out of all this?
A87009What possibility is there that I should deceive my self, or any man else by thus concluding?
A87009What?
A87009Whence have they their ● hree Orders of Bishops, Presbyters, and Deacons, upon the distinct observation of which so much weight is laid?
A87009Why did not Paul, who planted Christianity there, finally determine the controversie?

A53736What would he be at?
A53736Why do not they speak to him to leave fooling, and to speak sense as they do to others?
A53736Why, what Personal Graces are there in Christ as Mediator which do not belong unto him either as God or Man?
A53736Would he now have me to prove this by Testimonies or Arguments or the consent of the Ancient Church?
A53736Ye believe in God, believe also in me; that is, not in me but in the Gospel?
A53736Yea, but will he damn Men if they do not obey his Commands for Holiness?
A53736and how is this done?
A53736and why so?
A53736how have I provoked him that he should sacrifice his Conscience and Reputation unto such a Revenge?
A53736how shall we escape Hell, or get to Heaven, when we can neither Expiate for our part Sins or do any Good for the Time to come?
A53736must he yet hear it again?
A53736or is it that it is Fruitful or effective of Good things unto the persons Beloved?
A53736or is it that it is Unchangeable?
A53736what if one should say it was real only in this latter Expression and Engagement, that the former was only a Pretty Complement?
A53736wherein have I injured him?
A53736whither will Prejudice and Corrupt Designs carry and transport the Minds of Men?
A53736who ever said so?
A5368614. or what shall we say unto these things, or this is that which is to be said herein?
A5368622.36, Which is the great Commandment in the Law?
A53686And Judah said, what shall we say unto my Lord?
A53686And is it not of Faith alone, which is that Grace whereby they apply themselves unto the Mercy or Grace of God through the mediation of Christ?
A53686And were it possible, where is the Righteousness of punishing any one for that which no way belongs unto him?
A53686At least he might plead his Faith as his own Duty and Work, to be imputed unto him for Righteousness?
A53686But how is this proved?
A53686But what if all this should prove a wilful prevarication, not becoming a Good man, much less a Minister of the Gospel?
A53686But what will ensue on this Explanation of the Acceptance of our imperfect Righteousness unto Justification upon the merit of Christ?
A53686But why so, why must we assent to one part of the Gospel unto the exclusion of another?
A53686But wilt thou know O vain man that Faith without Works is dead?
A53686By what Right?
A53686Can we not be pardoned, but we must thereby of necessity be made Sons, Heirs of God, and Coheirs with Christ?
A53686Credisne te non posse salvari nisi per mortem Christi?
A53686Cur non dixerit tanto praestantioris foederis factus est sacerdos Jesus?
A53686Did he thereby make, declare or constitute him righteous?
A53686Do they leave the prayer of the Publican, and betake themselves unto that of the Pharisee?
A53686Do they plead their own Righteousness, Obedience, and Duties to this purpose?
A53686Do we make void the Law through Faith?
A53686Do we saith the Apostle( by the Doctrine of Justification by Faith without Works) make void the Law?
A53686Do we then make void the Law through Faith?
A53686Doth any other thought enter into their Hearts?
A53686Doth the Gospel require a lower degree of Love to God, a less perfect Love than the Law did?
A53686For any to use them now in the same way, and to the same purpose, is esteemed rude, undisciplinary, and even ridiculous, but on what Grounds?
A53686For how shall man be just with God?
A53686For unto what purpose is it to contend about them, whilst the substance of the Doctrine it self is openly opposed and rejected?
A53686For what else could hide or cover our sins but his Righteousness?
A53686For what need can there be of any of them, if God justifieth the ungodly?
A53686For what should justifie him whom the Gospel condemns?
A53686For what should they else do, when they knew well enough, that in their way, and by their propositions they were not to be attained?
A53686For who shall lay any thing unto the charge of Gods Elect, who are once justified before him?
A53686For without Faith it is impossible to please God: And to what purpose should the Apostle exclude evil works and hypocritical, from our Justification?
A53686How shall we answer what is laid unto our Charge?
A53686How shall we fly from the wrath to come?
A53686How shall we that are dead unto sin, live any longer therein?
A53686How then are we made the Righteousness of God in him?
A53686How then did he make our sins to be his own, and how did he bear our Iniquities?
A53686How then was he Justified by Works when he offered his Son on the Altar?
A53686How?
A53686I ask again what they think hereof; And upon a supposition that he will do so, what they further think will become of themselves?
A53686If thou Lord shouldst mark Iniquities, O Lord, who should stand?
A53686If thou Lord shouldst mark Iniquity, O Lord who shall stand?
A53686Is it any thing but Soveraign Grace and Mercy, through the Blood of Christ?
A53686It is the Answer of the Apostles unto the Jaylors enquiry; Sirs, What must I do to be saved?
A53686Murmuret jam quantum voluerit, insipiens cogitatio mea, dicens Quis enim es tu,& quanta est illa gloria, quibusve meritis hanc obtinere speras?
A53686My Enquiry is how I shall come before the Lord, and bow my self before the high God?
A53686Of him will I beg pardon, of him will I desire Indulgence, what other hope is there for sinners?
A53686Quae autem est spes?
A53686Quid potest esse omnis humana justitia coram Deo?
A53686Quomodo ergo dicit delictorum meorum?
A53686Secondly, The Apostle answers, as we do also, Do we then make void the Law through Faith?
A53686That he is so, there can be no question, the whole enquiry is, how he is so?
A53686That is, Dost thou believe that thou canst not be saved but by the death of Christ?
A53686The Question was now reduced unto this; on what Grounds he might or could be justified in the sight of God?
A53686The sinners in Sion are afraid, fearfulness hath surprized the Hypocrites, who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire?
A53686This Relief it will be said, is to be had in Christ alone; it is true, but under what Consideration?
A53686Was it not free unto God to appoint what way, method and order he would, whereby these things should be communicated unto us?
A53686Was not Abraham our Father justified by Works, when he had offered Isaac his Son upon the Altar?
A53686What Works?
A53686What doth it profit my Brethren though a man say he hath Faith and have not Works, can Faith save him?
A53686What follow unto the same purpose he omits, and what he adds as my words are not so, but his own, ubi pudor, ubi sides?
A53686What must I do to be saved?
A53686What shall we do to be saved?
A53686What shall we do to be saved?
A53686What shall we say then, shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
A53686What shall we then say?
A53686What will follow from hence?
A53686Whence the Prophet says in the Psalm, If thou Lord shouldst mark iniquity, who should stand?
A53686Where then is Boasting?
A53686Where then, they will say, is the necessity of Obedience from the Obligation of the Law, if God will not damn them that Transgress it?
A53686Wherewith( saith one of them) shall I come before the Lord, and bow my self before the high God?
A53686Wherewithall shall we appear before God?
A53686Who shall now dare to say, that he underwent the Penalty of the Law for us indeed, but he yielded Obedience unto it for himself only?
A53686how shall I escape the wrath to come?
A53686in whom else could we wicked and ungodly ones be justified, or esteemed Righteous, but in the Son of God alone?
A53686it is excluded, by what Law?
A53686shall I come before him with Burnt- offerings, with Calves of a year old?
A53686that is, is there in this matter unrighteousness with God?
A53686what shall I plead in judgment before God, that I may be absolved, acquitted, justified?
A53686what shall we speak 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 and how shall we justify our selves, God hath found out our Iniquity?
A53686where shall I have a Righteousness that will endure a Trial in his presence?
A53686who among us shall dwell with Everlasting burnings?
A53686why should we debate about the order and beautifying of the Rooms in an House, whilst Fire is set unto the whole?
A53686will indeed this Faith save him?
A53686will the Lord be pleased with thousands of Rams, or with ten thousands of Rivers of Oyl?
A90287And now Chistian Reader what shall we say to these things?
A90287Are indeed these persons any better thēMahumetans as to church priviledges?
A90287Before I asserted the use of the word, I instanced in all the places where it is used, and evinced the sense of it from them?
A90287But do I indeed undertake the cause of the Donatists?
A90287But doth not this Reverend Author know that this is wholly denyed by us?
A90287But how doth our gathering of Churches denie them to be true churches?
A90287But is this done as becomes a Christian, a Minister, a Brother?
A90287But what doth all this availe him in reference to his designe in hand?
A90287But who so blind as they that will not see?
A90287Doth he charge that apostasy upon those whom he calls Independents as such, or if he should, could he tolerably defend his charge?
A90287Doth he denie the dissolution of this union as to the interest of any member by it in the body, to be by apostasy from the profession of the Gospell?
A90287Doth he evince it from any thing deliver''d in that treatise he undertakes to confute?
A90287Doth he expect that I should undertake their defence?
A90287Doth he prove that the breach of this union, is under that formality properly Schisme?
A90287Doth our granting them to be true Churches, also grant that all the Saints in England are members of their Churches?
A90287He asketh first, Why may not this be a sufficient foundation for their Ministry, as well as for their Baptisme?
A90287However for my part, who am forced to beare all this wrath and storme, what hath he to lay to my charge?
A90287I dare not suppose that he will aske why then do I separate from them?
A90287I here denie that I unminister their ministers, unchurch their Churches; hath this Author any more to say to me, or those of my perswasion?
A90287I shall not complaine of my usage: but what am I?
A90287If it be so, can Mr. C. hardly refraine from calling a man Sathan, for speaking the truth?
A90287Is Schisme every breach of union?
A90287Is he not filled with envie to take notice in what love without dissimulation I walk with many of the Presbyterian judgment?
A90287Is it not disproved sufficiently in that very Treatise which he undertakes to answer?
A90287Is preaching to convert heathens a duty of worship?
A90287Is that the question in present agitation?
A90287Is there any thing in my assertion whither a man may separate from any church or no?
A90287May I possibly retaine hopes of making my selfe understood by this Reverend Author?
A90287Now wherein have we separated from them as to the breach of any such union?
A90287Shall I call in witnesses as to the particular under consideration?
A90287So then, ordination by a Presbytery, Is it seemes opposed by me and my party; but I pray Sir, who told you so?
A90287These things will not be peace in the latter end; shall the sword devour for ever?
A90287This will gratify all sects, Quakers, and all with a toleration: how I pray?
A90287Thus then he; is not this, reader, at once to unchurch all the churches of England since the reformation?
A90287What Question doth our Reverend Author meane?
A90287What hath the Reverend Author to charge upon me with reference thereunto?
A90287What may I expect from others, when so grave and Reverend a person as this Author is reported to be, shall thus deal with me?
A90287What then?
A90287Who told him that raising causlesse differences in a Church, and then separating from it, is not in my judgment schisme?
A90287am I changed in this also?
A90287any thing of stating the difference betwixt the Presbiterians and Independants?
A90287any thing upon what Corruption he may lawfully so do?
A90287are not particular churches instituted of Christ?
A90287are their ordinances and churches so denied by me as is pretended?
A90287are these the waies of peace, love and truth that the Reverend Author walks in?
A90287are they obedient to them?
A90287as far as I can gather: might not then the trouble of this Chapter have been spared?
A90287but is that the thing under consideration?
A90287can I not speak of their cause in Reference to the Catholick Church and its union, but it must be affirmed that I plead for them?
A90287can any one do so without his consenting to do so?
A90287did I deny that they sided and made parties about their divisions and differences?
A90287did I say I was unwilling?
A90287did he enquire so far after my mind in them, as without breach of charity to be able to make such positive and expresse assertions concerning them?
A90287do I anywhere do it upon this account?
A90287do I at all fix it on this fo ● t of account when I come so to doe?
A90287do I labour to exempt them from Schisme?
A90287do I not condemne all their practises, and pretensions from the beginning to the end?
A90287do I not every where positively deny that there is any such separation made?
A90287do I not immediately without any compulsion very freely fall upon the worke?
A90287do I plead for thē?
A90287do they enjoy any priviledge of Lawes?
A90287do they owne their Authority?
A90287doth he produce any other testimonies out of what I have spoken, deliver''d, or written else where, and on other occasions to make it good?
A90287doth not this whole discourse proceed upon a supposition that it is otherwise with them with whom he hath to do?
A90287is any thing, word, title, or iota spoken to it?
A90287is it any thing to me, or to any thing I affirme, how, where, and when, they managed their disputes, and debated their controversies?
A90287is it likely any such thing should be?
A90287is it my present businesse to state the difference between the Presbyterians and Independents?
A90287is it not the duty of every believer to join himselfe to some one of them?
A90287is it possible at once with the same arguments to charge them?
A90287is not their circumcision uncircūcision?
A90287is not their obedience to that command, their consent so to do?
A90287is this consent any thing but his voluntary submission to the ordinances of worship therein?
A90287it is true there is mention of a church at Cenchrea, but is there any mention that that church made any separation from the church of Corinth?
A90287nay can common honesty allow such a state of a question, if that were the businesse in hand to be put upon me?
A90287or is every breach of Union schisme?
A90287or that the differences mention''d were between the members of these severall churches?
A90287shall such persons give their children any right to church priviledges?
A90287that I condemn all other Churches in the world as no Churches; but who I pray told him these things?
A90287though it were valid in its administration, that is, was celebrated in obedience to the cōmād of Christ, is it not null to thē?
A90287to be that great multitude who throughout the world, professe the Doctrine of the Gospell, and subjection to Jesus Christ?
A90287was it at all incumbent on me, to prove that they did not manage their differences in private, as well as in publick?
A90287was not this acknowledged above?
A90287were not separations made, if not from that church, yet in that church as well as divisions?
A90287were there not divisions into parties as well as in judgments?
A90287what then?
A90287when, wherein, by what meanes have I opposed it?
A90287why then should they be denied their liberty?
A90287will he manifest it by saying more against them in no more words, then I haved one?
A39120& c. What contradiction is there unto sense in either of these?
A39120( 2) I would ask, whether this promise of Faith be not a part of the New Covenant?
A39120( 2) What, by being justified in the sight of God?
A39120( 3) I would ask whether the condition required of Adam, were meritorious of eternal life?
A39120( 3) I would ask, whether the promise of Faith, be not an effect of Christs death?
A39120( 3) Why may not Faith be a medium to evidence our Justification before Faith, as well as our Election before Faith?
A391201. e Ubi tuta firmaque infirmis securitas& requies nisi in vulneribus salvatorū?
A39120A late Writer sayes well, Why may not Christians and Schollars write plainly against one anothers Judgement, with a loving consent?
A39120And can there be Faith without knowledge?
A39120And if so, how can they, who conceive not of things Natural, understand those things that are Heavenly and Spiritual?
A39120And what do our Brethren say less less then this?
A39120And why not?
A39120And( 3) when we are justified in the sight of God?
A39120Are not Faith and Repentance, the fruits of our Reconciliation, by the blood of Christ?
A39120But doth the Apostle account neither of these Justifications much worth?
A39120But in earnest is Mr. Baxters Doctrine of a middle strain?
A39120But is the Gospel to be charged with these Dissentions?
A39120But what are the three things which he finds in these Texts to ground his charge on?
A39120But why not immediately and absolutely?
A39120But will it follow from hence, That all Publick Disputations, and Reasonings about matters of Faith, are perverse Disputings?
A39120By his favor, who did ever say ▪ that men are damned for not being objects of an Absolute Promise?
A39120Could they have returned to God, unless God had returned to them*?
A39120Dost thou believe to come to glory, not by thy own merits, but by the vertue and merit of the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ?
A39120Doth he think this Sermon such a solid peece, that all men living will be struck dumb therewith?
A39120Ergo, We were not elected before Faith?
A39120Faith is the evidence of things not seen; An unsound Assertion?
A39120For( 1) how doth the riches of Gods grace appear, if our Justification doth depend upon terms and conditions, performed by us?
A39120Had Parker, Twisse, Pemble,& c. nothing at all to say in defence of their Doctrine?
A39120Hath Mr. Woodbridges humanity no better language to bestow upon them?
A39120Have all those Reverend Divines before mentioned, obscured the Gospel?
A39120He that spared not his own Son, but gave him to death for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
A39120How doth this sow pillows under mens elbows, or lull asleep in security, more then the Doctrine of absolute Election?
A39120How shall we distinguish between precepts and promises?
A39120If he shall ask, Why God doth command them to beleeve in Christ, seeing he never intended they should have any good or benefit by Christ?
A39120If it includes the rest, why not this?
A39120Is he therefore joyned with God in the formal act of Justification?
A39120Is it an irrational thing to receive life, as a gift, and not as wages?
A39120It were very strange, if the Mercy and Faithfulness of God, should not be as sure a Foundation to relie upon, as our own Works?
A39120MR. W. in the next place, propoundes this Question, Whether Faith it selfe be not given to us by vertue of the Covenant made with us?
A39120May not God in the same Covenant, promise both Christ and Faith?
A39120Mr. W. demands,( 1) Whether there be an absolute promise made to every man, that God will give him grace?
A39120Now had he no works of the New Law, as you call them?
A39120Now shall we hence infer, That God was not just before?
A39120Now were all these Champions of Truth, a pack of Antinomians and Libertines?
A39120Now what can be imagined more derogatory to the Grace of God?
A39120Now, what is this to the purpose?
A39120Now, when God set his love upon them, he said unto them, Live?
A39120O man, who art thou that disputest against God?
A39120Or can he judge of mens Answers before he hath heard them?
A39120Or ought we therefore to forbear to Preach the Gospel?
A39120So say I, Why may we not Reason against each others Opinions in a friendly manner?
A39120THat we may avoid mistakes, I shall briefly declare,( 1) What we do understand by Justification?
A39120THe Question depending between me, and Mr. W. is not, Whether we are justified by Faith?
A39120That the Promise was to them, and to their children: Now what was that Promise, but Ero Deus tuus& seminis tui?
A39120That the spirit, which works Faith is given us by vertue of the Covenant made with us; But how doth Mr. W. prove the contradiction?
A39120The Question is not, whether this gracious sentence of Absolution, be declared; but whether it be not in the Brest of God, before it be declared?
A39120The next thing propounded was, What is meant by the sight of God?
A39120Was it ever known that men should be counted worthy of death, for not being the objects of an absolute Promise?
A39120Was the Apostle to be charged with perverseness when he reasoned both with Jews and Gentiles, as his manner was?
A39120Was this famous Doctor an Antinomian?
A39120What is it to die, or to bear chastisement for another, but to undergo that death which the other should have undergone?
A39120Whence have the Saints drawn all their comfort?
A39120Whether Faith therein, be to be taken Properly, or Tropically?
A39120Whether God were wel- pleased with unregenerate men?
A39120Will it follow, That because the Elect are justified in for ● Dei, before they believe; therefore all men are redeemed, and justified?
A39120Would not all men have censured his Writings to be but strifes of words?
A39120and is not the Spirit in that act, the cause of Faith?
A39120g or that Gods justice was a consequent of his sending Christ?
A39120how can we hope, and trust in him?
A39120how can we rejoyce or be thankful to him, if we be not perswaded of his love, and bounty towards us?
A39120or, whether this immanent act of God doth not secure the sinner from condemnation?
A39120p. 282: In hunc modum si distrahatur salutis fiducia, nihil poterit, quàm vacillare; quid hoc aliud est quàm subvertere ab imo fundamentum?
A9026612. Who art thou, O great Mountaine?
A9026621. which the Prophet also admires in the forecited Psalme: the Sea saw it and fled: what ayledst thou, O thou Sea that thou fledst?
A902664, 5?
A902666. f In caelo non in terramercedem promisit reddendam: quid alibi poscisquod alibi debitur?
A902667, 8, 9?
A902669. and when that is done, who shall keep bound what God will loose?
A90266Again was thine Anger?
A90266Against the Rivers or Flouds?
A90266Are not the severall tunes, of mercy and judgement in these songs?
A90266Are their souls think you more precicious to you then themselves?
A90266Are thy lusts like the streames of Jordan, yet they runne back from his Chariots of salvation?
A90266Art not thou it that dried the sea, the waters of the great deep, that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to passe over?
A90266Because a womans time is come, therefore shall she have no midwife?
A90266But what if it should prove in the close, that they have followed divine Directions?
A90266But when they are by themselves they cry, what shall we do?
A90266Can a servant do his masters work, without knowing his pleasure?
A90266Can a woman forget her child, that she should not have compassion on the sonne of her wombe?
A90266Did the people receive no other refreshment, but only in respect of their bodily thirst?
A90266Do you not then fight against God, wound Jesus Christ, and prosecute him as an evil doer?
A90266Do you think if our Armies had not walked in a troden path they could have made such journeys as they have done of late?
A90266Friend art thou stronger then Horeb, yet that trembled at the presence of this mighty God, whom it never had provoked?
A90266God is ingaged to his people for all their injoyments, and will he quietly suffer himselfe to be robbed and his people spoyled?
A90266God( saith the Apostle) hath delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver, now what conclusion makes he of this experience?
A90266Had not this mighty all- commanding God been with us, where had we been in the late tumults?
A90266Hast thou not known?
A90266Hath not all hold of promises in time of triall given place to temptations, untill you have fallen down in All- sufficiency, and their found peace?
A90266Have none of us skill to lay up the last eminent deliverance against a rainy day?
A90266Have we not seen this end of many Zelots?
A90266Have we seene nothing of this in our days?
A90266Have your souls in spirituall trials never bin driven from all your outworks, unto this main fort?
A90266He appeares not unto me, how can they go upon his Imployment?
A90266He did deliver me from the mouth of the Lyon:( Nero that Lion- like tyrant) and what then?
A90266How came it to passe that we were not swallowed up by them?
A90266How doe''s David run them over with admiration, closing every stop with, His mercy endureth for ever?
A90266How many Psalmes have wee that are taken up in setting forth Gods breaking, yoking, befooling, terrifying his Adversaries at such a season?
A90266If God appeares not in light, who can expect he should appeare in operation?
A90266If God call Israel out of Egypt to serve him, shall Pharaoh assigne who, and how they shall go, First men onely, then all without their cattel?
A90266If a man hath ingaged himselfe to give a Jewell to a deare friend, will he take it patiently to have an enemy come and snatch it away before his face?

A90266If the Lion roars, who can but fear?
A90266Is it for any of you, O ye sons of men, to measure out Gods childrens portion, long since bequeathed them by Christ?
A90266Is it not for touching these forbidden things?
A90266Is it not from hence, that nothing can stand against the breakingout of a promise, in its appointed season?
A90266Is it not so in our days?
A90266Is it not worth the while to consider how they were restrained?
A90266Is not the wasting of the Westerne Nations, at this day from hence, that they have served the whore to deck her selfe, with the spoyles of the spouse?
A90266Is not this written also for their instruction, who have no skill in Hebrew Songs?
A90266Is the Sea against them?

A90266No Seas divided?
A90266Nothing of Goodnesse that after so long waiting for Advantage, they begin themselves to think, that neither Divination nor Inchantment will prevaile?
A90266Nothing of power in their restraint?
A90266Nothing of wisdome in the selfe- punishment of their anxious thoughts?
A90266Now being thus advantaged, thus incouraged, thus provoked, and resolved, why did they not attempt it, why did they not accomplish their Desires?
A90266Now if all these should be kept from us at that distance wherein they fall in their accomplishment in respect of time, what would they availe us?
A90266O what a catalogue of mercies, hath this Nation to plead by in a time of trouble?
A90266Serm 50. g Si Tanti vitrum quanti Margaritum?
A90266Shall a Lyon tremble and thou not afraid, who art ready to tremble with a thought of that poore creature?
A90266Shall all creatures quake for the sin of man, and sinfull man be secure?
A90266Shall others dwell quietly in the Land which he hath measured for his own?
A90266Shall the Heavens bow, the deepe begge for mercy, and thou be senselesse?
A90266Shall they not possesse what the Lord their God gives them to possesse?
A90266Should the Lord entrust his people with a continued stock of mercy, perhaps they would be full and deny him, and say who is the Lord?
A90266Should you now smite them?
A90266Such mighty works attend the Israelites, what thinkes Midian will be the end of this?
A90266The chiefe Priests and Pharisees, having gotten the Apostles before them, what big words they use to countenance the businesse?
A90266Thinke you, will God let his people want that which they have absolute necessity of?
A90266To be answered in righteousnesse, what sweeter mercy in the World?
A90266Upon all Gods appearances with the Apostles, how were the Jews cut to the heart, vexed, perplexed?
A90266VVas not his Justice exalted, in keeping them onely for the pit which they had digged for others?
A90266Was not one main end of the late tumults, to rob Gods people of their priviledges, to bring them again under the yoke of superstition?
A90266Was not this Rock, a signe of that Rock of Ages on which the Church is built?
A90266Was the Lord displeased against the Rivers?
A90266Was the Lord displeased against the Rivers?
A90266Was the Lord displeased{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman} kindled, did he burne?
A90266Was thine anger?
A90266What God brake in warre, do not think he will prosper in Peace?
A90266What aylest thou O Jordan that thou wast driven back?
A90266What creature hath not this mighty God used against his enemies?
A90266What is the reason, that so many in our days, set their hands to the plow, and looke back againe?
A90266What shall wee say to these things, If the Lord be for us, who shall be against us?
A90266What though wee had no Army in the time of war?
A90266Whence is it, that he hath now the necks of his enemies, and hath given any of them their lives at their intreaty?
A90266Who can stand before him, qui tot imperat legionibus?
A90266Who hath not with joy delight and raysed affections, gone over the old preservations of the Church in former years?
A90266Who would not feare this King of Nations?
A90266Why he will so doe?
A90266Will a tender Father thinke you, contentedly looke on, and see a slave snatch away his childrens bread?
A90266and whereunto will this grow?
A90266begin to serve providence in great things, but can not finish?
A90266casting down of mighty ones, reviving of Dead bones, opening of prison- doores, bringing out the captive appointed to be slaine?
A90266doth he bring them forth to burne the whore, to fight with the Beast and overcome him, and his followers?
A90266g Shall men remove his bounds, and land- markes, and be free?
A90266greater Armies then this, have bin buried under lesser walles; did not the number of the besieged at first, exceed the number of the besiegers?
A90266hast thou not heard that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creatour of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary?
A90266is not here Affliction and deliverance, desertion and recovery, darkenesse and light, in this variously?
A90266is not the day of those factious Independents come?
A90266it shall be parted; Is Jordan in the way?
A90266know you not that the time is comming wherein such men will desire the trembling Rockes, to be a covert to their more affrighted soules?
A90266no Hills made to tremble?
A90266no Jordans driven back?
A90266no Mountaines revelled?
A90266nothing but the Rod of Moses in the blowes given to it?
A90266nothing but water in these streames?
A90266shall they not divide the prey?
A90266so many thousands in Kent, so many in Wales, so many in the North, so many in Essex, shall they not speed?
A90266speak blood, is that the way of Jesus Christ?
A90266their skill in war amongst men of their own perswasion, famous and renowned?
A90266thy troubling anger( so the word) against the Sea?
A90266was his Anger against the Walls and Houses, that he rode upon his Horses and Chariots of Salvation?
A90266was the Lord displeased with the Rivers?
A90266was thine anger against the Rivers?
A90266was thine anger against the Rivers?
A90266was thy wrath against the Sea, that thou diddest ride upon thy Horses and thy Chariots of salvation?
A90266was thy wrath against the Sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses, and thy charets of salvation?
A90266were not their Advantages great?
A90266what strong mighty impression of power was on thee, that the multitudes of thy waters should be parted, and thy chanell discovered dry to the bottome?
A90266whence then was the late confusion of Armies?
A90266who gave you this power?
A90266will he not plead his Action with power?
A90266will it be easy and cheape?
A90266will it be safe trespassing upon the Lands of the Almighty?
A902779: what need we then be solticious that we enter not into them?
A90277And And wouldst thou willingly be intangled againe?
A90277And shall we be negligent under his eye?
A90277But alas, this is but a which, or a new cord, to bind a Gyant temptation withall: What thinke you of the third part of the starres of heaven?
A90277But that which God will have to be strong, let us not think weak?
A90277But was not our Saviour Christ himselfe tempted; and is it evill to be brought into the same state and condition with him?
A90277But what security have we hereof?
A90277Can such ingratitude, unbeliefe, rebellion, befall me?
A90277Dost thou flagge in thy profession?
A90277Had they not shone in the firmament of the Church?
A90277Hath Satan any more friendly aime and intention towards thee, who is a sharer in every Temptation?
A90277He that heareth these words of mine, and doth them not, is like a man that built his house upon the sand: but what doth this house of profession do?
A90277How many are rendred uselesse in the world, by their frowardnesse and discontent?
A90277How many have all their comforts blasted, and peace disturbed, by their naturall passion and peevishnesse?
A90277How shall they wound Jesus Christ who dyed for them?
A90277I said in my prosperity I shall never be moved: all is well, and will be well, but what was at hand, what lay at the doore, that David thought not of?
A90277I who have had such a Reputation in the Church of God, shall I now lose it by giving way to this lust?
A90277I will keep thee, how?
A90277I will not doe it; shall then a man rest in it, that his heart will be stedfast?
A90277In generall, all we can looke for is from our hearts; what a mans heart is that is, Hee; but now what is the heart of a man in such a season?
A90277Is it likely that thou shouldest hold out therein, when thou canst not watch with me one houre?
A90277Is this then our state and condition?
A90277It may be when first it began to presse upon the soule, the soule was amazed with the ugly appearance of what it aymed at, and cryed, am I a dogge?
A90277Joseph had this; and therefore on the first appearance of a temptation, he cries out; how can I do this great evill, and sinne against God?
A90277Now how can they preserve a man?
A90277Now how is this done?
A90277Now if a mans peace be such, doe you think that can preserve him, which can not preserve its selfe?
A90277Now where these things are, are not men carnall?
A90277Now withstanding of Temptation is heart worke; and when it comes like a flood, can such a rotten turfe as a wicked mans heart, stand before it?
A90277Obj: But what need this great indeavour and carefulnesse?
A90277Oh how few will be able to stand and hold out?
A90277Oh keep me that I enter not in; vestigia terrent, behold the footsteps of them that have gone in; whom doe you see retiring without a wound?
A90277Shall such an one as I fly?
A90277Suppose a man is not a Believer, but only a Professor of the Gospell, what can the heart of such an one doe?
A90277The Heart of a man will promise him very faire before a Temptation comes; am I a dogge, sayes Hazael, that I should doe this thing?
A90277There is no Saint of God, but puts a valuation on the peace he hath: yet how many of them faile in the day of temptation?
A90277They have another consideration also, and that is, the vilenesse of sinning against God?
A90277Were they not sensible more then enough of their owne honour, height, usefulnesse, and reputation?
A90277What can be of more efficacy and prevalency?
A90277What did they, we do not?
A90277What sayes our Saviour to them?
A90277What sort of man is free from this folly in one thing or other?
A90277What were those before us, that we are not?
A90277What work hath the spirit of error made amongst us?
A90277What, deny my master, the Son of God; my Redeemer; who loves me?
A90277Wherein then in such a season must lie the peculiar neglect of the word of Christs patience?
A90277Who would go out of his way, to have his armes full of losse and dung?
A90277Why doth terror, or threates turne us aside, from a due constancy in the performance of our duty?
A90277Why should we so feare, and labour to avoid temptation?
A90277Would any one have thought it possible, that such and such professors in our daies, should have fallen into waies of selfe, of flesh, of the world?
A90277You will say, how shall we know wherein the word of Christs patience in any season is like to suffer?
A90277You will say, what provision is intended, and where is it to be laid up?
A90277a blemish at least?
A90277and if any urging particular Temptation, befall any, what instances almost have we of any that escape?
A90277and may we not see how it is come to passe?
A90277and shall we be negligent in this thing?
A90277and whence is it, that he hath this estimation of the most desirable things in the world?
A90277are they not cursing their Tempters, and the Temptations that they entred in?
A90277art thou negligent in duties of praying or hearing?
A90277at first they will venture on the company, abhorring the thoughts of practising; their lewdnesse: but what is the issue?
A90277by closing with this, or that publick evill?
A90277canst thou not watch one houre?
A90277does thy delight in the people of God faint and grow cold?
A90277doth it not grieve him, to see us expose our selves so to danger, after he hath given us warning upon warning?
A90277doth thy light burne dimme?
A90277even the faithfulnesse of God; God is faithfull who will not suffer you& c. And wherein is God''s faithfulnesse seen and exercised?
A90277how few keep their garments girt about them, and undefiled?
A90277how long do they believe?
A90277how many are disquieted even by their owne gentlenesse and sanctity?
A90277how many poor, miserably, spiritually, wounded soules have we every where?
A90277if such mighty pillars have been cast to the ground, such Cedars blowne downe, how shall I stand before temptations?
A90277if we wilfully neglect, or cast away our interest in the promise of preservation, is it any wonder, if we be not preserved?
A90277is it not because amongst the great multitude of Professors, that we have, there are few that keep the word of the patience of Christ?
A90277is it not because our affections are entangled with the things and considerations proposed unto us?
A90277is it not because there is unmortified carnall feare abiding in us, that tumultuates in such a season?
A90277is it not in leaning to our own counsels and understandings?
A90277is it not in setting a value on the world and the things of it, which he hath stained and trampled under foot?
A90277is it not in the slighting of his peculiar lot, his people, and casting them into the same considerations with the men of the world?
A90277is the word of Christs patience effectuall in them?
A90277is this thy dying for me; to be dead in security, when I am dying for thee?
A90277is thy zeale cold?
A90277it can not be; All the Arguments that are suited to give check to the heart in such a condition, are mustered up; did not Peter thinke you do so?
A90277oh what thoughts of heart hath he concerning me, whose eye is upon me?
A90277or if thou dost observe them, thou doest it not with that life and vigour as formerly?
A90277or if thou keep it up, yet thy wheeles are oyled by some sinister respects from within or without?
A90277or that they should be turned away after foolish, vaine, ridiculous opinions, diserting the Gospell of Christ?
A90277or though it give to others as great a blaze, as formerly, yet thou seest not so clearly the face of God in Christ, by it as thou hast done?
A90277p. 122. l. 3. not?
A90277persons walking in the vanities and wayes of this world, yet boasting of their sense of the love of God; shall we believe them?
A90277saith he, the peace of God shall do it: what is this peace of God?
A90277shall I contemne his honour, despise his love, trample his Gospell in the mire under the feet of men, turne aside others from his ways?
A90277shall I now be carelesse, shall I be negligent, shall I comply with the world,& the wayes of it?
A90277shall such a man as I fly, give over resisting?
A90277shall they be preserved?
A90277they are affected with the preaching of the word, and believe thereon: make profession, bring forth some fruits: but untill when do they abide?
A90277thinke you that the peace of many in these dayes, will be found to be true peace at last?
A90277though all men should deny thee I will not: shall I doe this evill?
A90277to neglect family, closet duties, to be proud, haughty, ambitious, worldly, covetous, oppressive?
A90277to play at cards, dice, revell, dance?
A90277to this temptation?
A90277vve must not then believe truth its selfe; and hovv vvofull then, must their condition needs be?
A90277what do they say?
A90277why is it that the Allurements of the world, and compliances with men entangle us?
A90277yea didest thou ever in thy life come fairly of without sensible, losse from any temptation almost that thou hadst to deale withall?
A90293133. e Ad hanc quaestionem an unica via salutis, sit vita passio mors resurrectio& asscensio Iesu Christi?

A9029317. but did not God end his worke on the seventh day, and did he not then rest from all his works?
A9029319. Who hath resisted his will?
A902932. Who maketh thee differ from another?
A9029328, 29. what would they have more?
A90293324. f Quid in eo positum est, quod homo discriminare seipsum dicitur?
A902934. Who made thee differ from another, or what hast thou, that thou hast not received?
A9029346. Who can stay his hand or say unto him, what dost thou?
A902937, 8. and shall they be enabled to recriminate, and cast the like aspersion on the God of heaven?
A90293Are these expressions of a morall perswasion only?
A90293Are we better then they?
A90293But did not this counsell of God direct him to choose us rather then others?
A90293But if this be not?
A90293But was not one by some Almightie action, made partaker of reall infused grace, which the other attained not unto?
A90293Consider seriously their denying of that fundamentall Article of Originall sin: Is this but a small escape in Theologie?
A90293Did Christ obtaine this faith for us, of him?
A90293Did then God worke more powerfully in the heart of the one, by his holy Spirit then of the other?
A90293First, they call it a troublesome question: Secondly, they make it a thing disputable, whether there be any such thing, or no?
A90293For, Who is it that can withstand God?
A90293How then came this extreme difference of effects?
A90293I aske whether God thus calleth all men, or onely some?
A90293If onely some, then why they and not others?
A90293Is it out of a speciall intention to have them obedient?
A90293Make you a new heart, and a new spirit, for why will you die, O house of Israel?
A90293No?
A90293No?
A90293No?
A90293Now what peace in the Church, without Truth?
A90293Pray what is obtained by the death of Christ?
A90293Thirdly, Whither they have not hitherto supposed themselves bound to beleeve, that Christ died for their sins and rose for their justification?
A90293Thirdly, and principally, whence had our primitive nature this affections to those things that were forbidden it?
A90293Was there any intention or purpose in God, that one should be changed rather then the other?
A90293Well then?
A90293What arguments doe you thinke were sufficient to perswade a dead man to rise?
A90293Who made the one differ from the other, or what hath he, that he did not receive?
A90293Why then let us here learne some new Divinitie?
A90293Why then the efficacie of the death of Christ depends wholly on us: true?
A90293a powerfull Deitie, whereunto we may repaire, for a power to become the sonnes of God?
A90293and againe the poore sinners, for whom he suffered?
A90293and attaining eternall happinesse?
A90293and if thou hast received, why boastest thou, as if thou hadst not received?
A90293and if thou hast received, why boasteth thou as if thou hast not received?
A90293and which we may refuse to do if we will?
A90293because it is required of us, under the promise of eternall life?
A90293because we had something to commend us more then they?
A90293by which of the ten precepts, is this inclination to evill required?
A90293can he collect his scattered dust, or renew his perished senses?
A90293did God create in Adam, a pronenesse unto evill?
A90293do they not thinke it lawfull to pray, that God would bestow upon them, grace, and glory for Christs sake?
A90293doe they not at this houre, and shall they not to eternitie, feele the waite and burden of their owne sinnes?
A90293doth God affirme here he will doe, what he intends only to perswade us to?
A90293e Dixit Pelagius, quis est mihi Augustinus?
A90293had they a naturall affection, put upon them by God, to that which was forbidden by the law?
A90293had they either grace in this world, or glory in the other, that they should be said to have an interest in the death of our Saviour?
A90293his owne Sonne once?
A90293how came they then to be seduced and perish?
A90293how then?
A90293if all, why are not all converted?
A90293if it be a thing not in our own power?
A90293in what estate, will you have the Idol placed?
A90293is it by the last, thou shalt not covet?
A90293is it in the power of a stony heart to remove it self?
A90293it can not otherwise be?
A90293it is enough, yea, too much for them to repine and say, why hast thou made us thus, who are vessels fitted for wratth?
A90293or by that summe of them all, thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart,& c. is this all the happinesse of Paradise?
A90293or can he not produce innumerable things in the world, which now he doth not?
A90293or if they can get a sophisticall elusion for him, is it least by so doing, Christians should the more plainely discerne their heresie?
A90293or not to have created it at all?
A90293or what great aid can he contribute to his own resurrection?
A90293or what hast thou that thou hast not received?
A90293or what hast thou, that thou hast not received?
A90293shall a stony heart be said to have a power to change it selfe into such a heart of flesh as shall cause us to walke in Gods Statutes?
A90293shall we say, that his providence extends it selfe every way, to the utmost of its activitie?
A90293that he would grant faith and repentance, for the merit of his Sonne, to them that are as yet a farre off?
A90293to be turmoyled with a nature swelling with aboundance of vaine desires?
A90293was that a part of his glorious image, in whose likenesse he was framed?
A90293was there any circumstance about it that did not show a God, and his providence?
A90293was there not counsell, in the storehouse of his wisdome, to have created this otherwise?
A90293were this an altogether vaine and foolish prayer?
A90293what an active stone is this in mounting upwards?
A90293what doth it at all differ from that heart of flesh that God promiseth?
A90293what fault is it to be created?
A90293what hand guided that poor vessell from the rocks, and gave it a resting place on the mountains?
A90293what need of Christ himselfe, if our nature be not guilty, depraved, corrupted?
A90293why, what need of the Gospel?
A5373314 But would not his Obedience hallow, or at least excuse his action?
A537339. Who ever doubted of it?
A53733And hath this Gentleman really considered what the meaning of that word Trade is, and what is the concernment of this Nation in it?
A53733And how doth thi ● follow?
A53733And may not this Rule be quickly extended unto Oaths themselves, the bonds and Ligaments of humane Society?
A53733And shall they they be destroyed, if they miss it in some matters of smaller concernment?
A53733And what if others believe that to pursue their successes in Villany and Rebellion is to follow Providence?
A53733And what is it, that we treat about?
A53733And what now if those intended do not believe these things, nor any one of them?
A53733And what quietness, what peace is there like to be in the world, whilst the sword of vengeance must be continually drawn about these things?
A53733And why all this fierceness and severity?
A53733And why may not the same Rule and Order be observed with respect to the circumstances that attend the performance of the duties of instituted Worship?
A53733And will it not be bitterness in the latter end?
A53733And will they justifie all their oppressors?
A53733And would not the Authority of the King warrant his Obedience?
A53733And would these men be willingly thus dealt withall, by those who judge, or may judge them to err?
A53733Are immoralities or vicious debaucheries rather to be tolerated, or exempted from punishment, than such a dissent?
A53733Are there then Reasons: for their observation besides their Injuction, and such as on the account whereof they are injoyned?
A53733Are these their Apprehensions concerning God, sin, themselves and others?
A53733Are these things suited to the principles, Doctrines, practices of the Church of England?
A53733Are these things then so indeed?
A53733Besides who shall judge what is small, or what is great in things of this Nature?
A53733But is it not strange, how any man can assume to himself, and swallow so much confidence as is needful to the mannagement of this charge?
A53733But is their Judgement infallible?
A53733But shall this wrath never be allayed?
A53733But to what purpose is it to contend about these things?
A53733But what if it so fall out?
A53733But what if this also should prove a false and futilous pretence?
A53733But what name shall these new Vertues be called by?
A53733But what then is to be done in this Case?
A53733But what would be the issue of such proceedings?
A53733But who judgeth them to be so guilty of errors?
A53733But why so?
A53733But, as I said, what will be the end of these things, namely of mutual virulent reflections upon one another?
A53733Doth God deal thus in this world, in his Rule over the souls of men?
A53733Doth it thence follow that such persons must needs Rebell and be Seditious and disturb the publick peace, of the Society whereof they are Members?
A53733Doth the Lord Christ require his Disciples to do and observe in the Worship of God what ever he commanded them?
A53733Ecquid meministi?
A53733For to what purpose serve their Understandings, their Judgements, their Wills, if not to guide and determine them in their Actions?
A53733For what security can be had of him, who hath inured himself unto a continual contradiction between his Faith and his practice?
A53733For wherein can this be effected?
A53733Hath he dominion over them to rule them in the things of the Worship of God?
A53733Hath the Magistrate this his Authority in and over Religion and the consciences of men from Jesus Christ?
A53733He asks farther, what doth the Scripture mean when it stiles our Saviour the King of Kings, and maketh Princes his Vicegerents here on earth?
A53733How are they directed to behave themselves, after they have assumed a likeness unto the Most High, and exalted themselves to his Throne?
A53733How if they should be mistaken themselves in their judgement?
A53733I would then a little farther enquire, who shall judge whether the things commanded in Religion and the Worship of God be Idolatrous or Superstitious?
A53733Is it not because of the Authority of God over their minds and Consciences in these things?
A53733Is it not evident to him that hath but half an eye that we are come about again where we were before?
A53733Is it only towards them, who are of the same mind with themselves?
A53733Is it such as to make that to be Vertue which was not Vertue before, or which was Vice, and oblige men in Conscience to practise it as Vertue?
A53733Is it to be so born as to practise and observe the things so enjoyned though Superstitious and Idolatrous?
A53733Is it to judge of their Actions as done, whether they be good or evil?
A53733Is the Authority of Christ the formal Reason making Obedience necessary to his Commands and Precepts?
A53733Is the Lord Christ the Lord of the Souls and Consciences of men?
A53733Is this Spirit from above?
A53733Is this the Spirit wherewith the Children of the Church are acted?
A53733Is this the way to restore peace, quietness and satisfaction to the minds of men?
A53733Is this to act like God, whose power and authority they have assumed, or like to his greatest Adversary?
A53733Is this, thought I, the Spirit of the men with whom the Non- Conformists do contend, and upon whose Instance alone they suffer?
A53733Might Christ in his own Person administer the Holy Things of the Church of God?
A53733Now who shall fix bounds to what they will judge to fall under one or other of these limitations?
A53733Once more; what name of sin or wickedness will they find to affix to these errors?
A53733Or must Ephraim now answer for the sin, and not be only that imposed the command?
A53733Quanta isthaec Hominum summa est?
A53733Quis nist Callimachus?
A53733Quis tulerit Gracehos de seditione querentes?
A53733Shall this Sword devour for ever?
A53733Some have denyed him any concern herein; our Author is none of them?
A53733Suppose they be prevailed with, to run the hazzard and adventure of such an undertaking; what is it that they are thereon perswaded unto?
A53733What Ladders have men to climb personally into Heaven?
A53733What are the Affairs of Religion here intended, all or some?
A53733What are the concerns of publick good therein?
A53733What can be more directly forbidden, than the making or use ● ● g of graven Images, in or about Religious Worship?
A53733What hurt would it be to leave them so?
A53733What if some of them, are ridiculously framed into Articles of faith, from the supposed practices of some individual Persons?
A53733What if the things condemned as fulsome Metaphors prove to be Scriptural expressions of Gospel Mysteries?
A53733What if they do openly disavow every one of them, as for ought I ever heard or know they do, and as I do my self?
A53733What is it, that a little Truce and Peace is desired unto, and pleaded for?
A53733What place of Scripture in the Old or New Testament, which of the ancient Fathers of the Church, do speak at this rate?
A53733What thinks he of the Confessions of Ezra, of Daniel and others in the name of the whole people of God?
A53733Wherefore then are these weak attempts made to confirm and prove what is not?
A53733Whether they cross directly the Interest of the Gospel?
A53733Who is it that promiseth these things?
A53733Who would be gainers by it?
A53733Whom will such men fulfill the commands of patience, forbearance, waiting, meekness, condescension, that the Gospel abounds with, towards?
A53733Will this way of proceeding compose and satisfie the minds of men?
A53733and how if sundry things so odiously here expressed, be proved to have been sober Truths declared in words of Wisdom and Sobriety?
A53733and who shall attend them in their attempt?
A53733he answers, It is to be born: True, but how?
A53733how if he be not able to prove any of them by any considerable avowed instance?
A53733how will he confirm and vindicate it?
A53733no more then Christ hath his Authority from the Magistrate; for he holds it by the Law of Nature antecedent to the promise and coming of Christ?
A53733or did any one ever think, that they had a difficult case of Conscience to resolve in that matter?
A53733or is not this that, which is set out in the Fable of Phaeton, that he, who takes the Chariot of the Sun, will cast the whole world into a combustion?
A53733that there is no work at all of God upon the hearts of Sinners, but that which is purely moral, and perswasive by the word?
A53733that what is asserted by some concerning the Efficacy of the Grace of the Spirit, and concerning his gifts, is no more but a buzz and a noise?
A53733where lyes the difficulty?
A53733why?
A53719Alas, will it say, how little have I been with Christ this day?
A53719And if ye have not been faithful in that which is anothert Mans, who shall give you that which is your own?
A53719And if you offer the blind for Sacrifice is it not evil?
A53719And shall we suppose that those with whom it is so, are Spiritually minded?
A53719And shall we think to offer that Time unto God, wherein we are unmeet to appear before an earthly Ruler?
A53719And what grounds have you to judge that you are so, if the current of your thoughts lye in direct contrariety unto the present Calls of God?
A53719Are they called to an Attendance on seasons of Religious Duties?
A53719Are they not more wonted to their seasons, than holy Thoughts are?
A53719Are they our Treasure, our Portion, our Reward, in comparison whereof all other things are but loss and dung?
A53719Are you not sometimes a Terrour unto yourselves?
A53719Are you ready on all occasions to entertain such Thoughts, and to be conversant with them, as opportunity doth offer it self?
A53719Be it so that there may be some Evils found under the Exercise of the Gift of Prayer, what remedy for them may be proposed?
A53719But are you Spiritually minded?
A53719But is there a God indeed?
A53719But what if any of us should be mistaken in our Rule and Application of it unto our Conditions?
A53719Can we think that Life and Peace do inhabit that Soul, wherein Anger, Wrath, Envy, Excess in Love unto earthly things, no dwell?
A53719Can you attain a better frame?
A53719Do men gather Figs from Thorns, or Grapes from Thistles?
A53719Do they come unto God as the Eternal Fountain of Living Waters?
A53719Do they fight uncertainly with these things as men beating the Air?
A53719Do you come to me in your distress, saith Jepthe, when in the time of your Peace you drove me from you?
A53719Do you labour to have in a readiness what is useful for you with respect unto Temptations and Duties?
A53719Do you truely know, either how to live, or how to die?
A53719Doth he not also signally declare the uncertainty and instability of Earthly Enjoyments, from Life it self to a Shoo- latchet?
A53719Doth not God proclaime herein, that the things of this World are not to be valued or esteemed?
A53719For from his first Temptation by way of an ensnaring Question, Yea, and hath God said it, ye shall not eat of every Tree of the Garden?
A53719Hast thou not heard that the Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the Ends of the Earth fainteth not, neither is weary?
A53719Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard, that the Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the Earth fainteth not, neither is weary?
A53719Hast thou not known?
A53719How can persons pretend to be Spiritually minded, the current of whose Thoughts lies in direct contrariety unto the mind of God?
A53719How do you know that there is a God?
A53719How few are they who value that Heavenly State which we have treated of; or do understand how any blessedness can consist in the enjoyment of it?
A53719How foolish was I, to be wanting to such or such an Opportunity?
A53719How much of this time might, nay ought to be redeemed for holy Meditations?
A53719How much time hath passed me without a thought of him?
A53719How were all his Affections alwayes in Perfection of Order under the Conduct of the Spirit of his Mind?
A53719I am asham''d of my self, weary of my self, loath my self, who shall deliver me from this Body of Death?
A53719If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous Mammon, Who will commit to your trust the true Riches?
A53719In how many afflictions, dangers, troubles hath he been a present help and relief?
A53719Is God in Christ, and the things of the Gospel, the ordinary Retreat of your Souls?
A53719Is it not better to have such a mind in us, than to enjoy all the Peace and security that the world can afford?
A53719Is it that men should Renounce their use of it, and betake themselves unto the Reading of Prayers only?
A53719Is not all wherein you have now to do with God, either Form, Custom, and Selfishness, or attended with Trouble, Disquietment, and Fears?
A53719Is there a God besides me?
A53719Is there a State of the Poor that requires their Liberality and Bounty?
A53719Is there any thing that you would more desire, if you are Believers?
A53719It is because they are such things as we have no great concernment in?
A53719It may be enquired what is requisite thereunto?
A53719It may be enquired, what is the Subjective Glory, or what Change is to be wrought in our selves that we may enjoy this Glory?
A53719It will be said, Do not all men, the best of men, perform all Spiritual Duties out of a Conviction of their Necessity?
A53719Let all the Nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things?
A53719My tears have been my Meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
A53719O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from this body of death?
A53719Or do they come unto his VVorship without any Design as unto a dry and empty shew?
A53719Or it is because the faculties and Powers of our Souls were not originally suited unto the contemplation of them, and delight in them?
A53719Or what profit should we have if we Pray unto him?
A53719Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompenced to him again?
A53719So he did with our Saviour himself, If thou be the Son of God: Is there a God?
A53719Some I fear if they did but consider it, would be apt to say, This is an hard saying, who can bear it?
A53719Take no thought, saying, What shall we eat?
A53719That they meditate on the Calls of God, and thence make themselves ready to part with all at his time and pleasure?
A53719The Mind will be apt of it self to start aside from Duties?
A53719The Question is, how doth this appear?
A53719They are ready to say, Are not Abana and Pharpar Rivers of Damascus better than all the Waters of Israel?
A53719This most men it may be, suppose they need not much Exhortation unto; for none ever doubted of it; who doth not grant it on all occasions?
A53719To what End, unto what Purpose should they desire such a participation of him, to be so filled with him?
A53719To what end is all this Care and Councel?
A53719VVhat do men come to hear the VVord of God for?
A53719VVhat do they expect to receive from him?
A53719What Pitty and Compassion had he for the Souls of men, yea for whole humane Kind, in all their Sufferings, Pains, and Distresses?
A53719What are your thoughts when you are most awake, when you are most your selves?
A53719What can any object unto the Truth of these things, or the Necessity of this Duty?
A53719What do they pray for?
A53719What evidence then can they have that they are Spiritually minded, that their principal Interest lyes in things above?
A53719What have all your Lovers done for you, that you have entertained in the room of God in Christ, and Spiritual things?
A53719What if a man should judge that now it is such an hour, and that the Power of Darkness is put forth therein?
A53719What is it then that must give our Nature this subjective Perfection?
A53719What is the matter with men that they are so stupid?
A53719What meaneth this rising so early, and going to Bed late, eating the Bread of Carefulness?
A53719What then is the principal Present Object of Faith as it is Evangelical, into whose room Sight must succeed?
A53719What, saith he, could I have done more for my Vineyard than I have done?
A53719When you had Zeal for his Glory, Delight in his Worship, and were glad when they said, Let us go to the House of God together?
A53719When you poured forth your Soules with Freedom, and enlarged Affections before him, and were sensible of the Visits and Refreshments of his Love?
A53719Whence are all the Disorders in your Minds, your Vexations and Disquietments, your Passions breaking forth sometimes into unseemly Brawlings?
A53719Whence is it thus with us, that we can not abide in Thoughts and Meditations of things Spiritual and Heavenly?
A53719Wherefore, do your Hearts and Affections lead you unto many Thoughts of God, and Spiritual Things?
A53719Whither so fast my Friend?
A53719Who can conceive what contempt of all the Rage and madness of the Jews, what a neglect of all the pains of Death this view raised his holy Soul unto?
A53719Who knows but it may be the only time you will have for it?
A53719Why is not this the best Season?
A53719Why not now?
A53719Why shall we think that refreshing Thoughts of things above will then visit our Souls, when we resisted their admittance in dayes of Peace?
A53719Why this Diligence, why these Contrivances, why these savings and hoardings of Riches, and Wealth?
A53719With what loving Countenances do men look upon their temporal Enjoyments; with what tenacious Embraces do they cleave unto them?
A53719Would any one know whether he be Spiritually alive unto God, with the Life of Sanctification and Holiness?
A53719Would you now know what you should fix and exercise your Thoughts upon, so as that they may be Evidences of your being Spiritually minded?
A53719and if you offer the lame and sick is it not evil?
A53719and may it not be otherwise?
A53719and others cry out with the Disciples in another case, Lord who then can be saved?
A53719are they not from hence?
A53719as the God of all Grace, Peace, and Consolation?
A53719do they spring up in you, as water in a well of living Waters?
A53719for who hath known the Mind of the Lord, or who hath been his Councellor?
A53719how if there should be none?
A53719how many at present do openly walk contrary unto God herein?
A53719offer it now unto thy Governour will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person?
A53719or do they think they bring something unto God, but receive nothing from him?
A53719or what shall we drink?
A53719or wherewith we shall be cloathed?
A53719what sensible Emanations of Life and Power from him have I obtain''d in Meditation on his Grace and Glory?
A53719when you rejoyced at the Remembrance of his Holiness?

A537152. is the Case proposed that we have in hand; How shall we that are dead unto sin live any longer therein?
A537156.68, thou must be relieved and saved this way or none; to whom wilt thou goe?
A537158?
A53715A new Sin may be permitted, as well as a new Affliction sent to bring an Old sin to remembrance?
A53715And can I keep my self out of the Dust?
A53715And if the Case be so sad with them who do labour and strive, and yet enter not into the Kingdom; what is their Condition who despise all this?
A53715And in this case of indwelling Sin, and the power of it, what Frame doth he express himself to be in?
A53715And in what state doth the Prophet Habakkuk affirm himself to be cast, upon the apprehension of the Majesty of God?
A53715And our Saviour tells us what is to be done in this case; sayes he, Do men gather Grapes from Thorns?
A53715And wherein did his folly appear?
A53715Are the the things of the Soul of less importance?
A53715Are they not still in the Gall of bitterness?
A53715As to its Rise, it is built purely upon the Testimony of him whom we have not seen; as the Apostle speaks, How can ye love him whom you have not seen?
A53715But how shall a man know whether there be any thing of Gods chastening hand, in his being left to the disquietment of his distemper?
A53715But how?
A53715But suppose a Thorn be well pruned and cut, and have pains taken with him?
A53715But thou wilt say, what ground have I to build such an Expectation upon; so that I may expect not to be deceived?
A53715But why had they not peace?
A53715But you will say, Is not this to perswade men to unbelief?
A53715But you will say, We are where we were; when God syeaks it, we must receive it; that is true, but how shall we know when he speaks?
A53715C ● nst thou look without terrour into the Abyss of Eternity?
A53715Can a sadder thing befall thee?
A53715Can sin be killed without an interest in the Death of Christ, or Mortified without the Spirit?
A53715Canst thou complain if it be no otherwise with thee than it was with Heman, that eminent servant of God?
A53715Clearly, perfectly?
A53715Did the sufferings and Temptations of Christ adde to his ability and power?
A53715Do they find a conquest over it?
A53715Doe I account Communion with him of so little value, that for this vile Lusts sake I have scarce left him any room in my Heart?
A53715Doe I thus requite the Lord?
A53715Does he bid them go and mortifie their pride, wrath, malice, cruelty, and the like?
A53715Dost thou think he will ease thee of that which perplexeth Thee, that thou mayst be at liberty to that which no less grieves Him?
A53715God forbid, how shall we that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
A53715Hadst thou been negligent in Duties?
A53715Hast thou not found thy self engaged in such Wayes, Societies, Companies, and that with delight, as God abhorres?
A53715Hast thou received any eminent Mercy, Protection, Deliverance, which thou diddest not improve in a due Manner, nor wast thankfull for?
A53715Have I defiled the Heart that Christ dyed to wash; that the Blessed Spirit hath chosen to dwell in?
A53715Have I obtained a view of Gods Fatherly Countenance, that I might behold his face, and provoke him to his face?
A53715How doth he doe it?
A53715How doth the Spirit mortifie Sin?
A53715How immense is he in his Nature?
A53715How is that?
A53715How little a portion is it?
A53715How often doth he complain that his bones were broken, his Soul disquieted, his wounds grievous on this account?
A53715How shall I escape, if I neglect so great Salvation?
A53715How shall I hold up my head with any boldness before him?
A53715How shall he then mortifie Sin, that hath not the Spirit?
A53715How shall we do it, who( as he afterwards describes it,) have received Grace from Christ to the contrary?
A53715I will leave them, hide my Face, and what will become of their peace and strength?
A53715If this be the work of the Spirit alone, how is it, that we are exhorted to it?
A53715If we have not some strength to walk with him?
A53715In the mean time, what shall I say to the Lord?
A53715Is it not a little one?
A53715Is it not from the Spirit?
A53715Is it nothing that he should punish, ruine, and undoe others for thy sake?
A53715Is not our understanding brutish in the Contemplation of such things?
A53715Is not this to put men to make Brick, if not without straw,( which is worse,) without strength?
A53715Is their Condition changed, though they attain a Relinquishment of it?
A53715Is their sin at all mortified hereby?
A53715Is this the Return I make to the Father for his Love, to the Son for his Blood, to the Holy Ghost for his Grace?
A53715Know you not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his Death?
A53715Now how is he attained?
A53715Or Vncleanness to defile thy Heart, with vain, and foolish, and wicked Imaginations, for many dayes?
A53715Or strength whilest he smites?
A53715Ought not all our expectations to this purpose to be on Christ alone?
A53715Say to thy Soul; What have I done?
A53715Shall I daily grieve that Spirit whereby I am sealed to the day of Redemption?
A53715Shall I endeavour to disappoint the End of the Death of Christ?
A53715Shall they cease striving against sin, live dissolutely, give their Lusts their swinge, and be as bad as the worst of men?
A53715Sin will grow a light thing to thee; thou wilt pass by it as a thing of nought; This it will grow to, and what will be the End of such a Condition?
A53715Sin, saith he, is crucified; it is fastned to the Cross; to what End?
A53715So did Joseph, How shall I doe this great evil( saith he) and sin against the Lord, my good and gracious God?
A53715They have followed after Mortification, but they have not Attained to it; Wherefore?
A53715They that are Christ''s have crucified the flesh, with the affections and lusts: But how?
A53715Thou settest thy self with all diligence and earnestness to mortifie such a Lust or Sin; what is the Reason of it?
A53715Was it not a Correction to Peters vain Confidence, that he was left to deny his Master?
A53715Was my Soul washed, that room might be made for new Defilements?
A53715We have in Baptisme an Evidence of our Implantation into Christ; we are baptized into him; But what of him are we baptized into an Interest in?
A53715We have( I say) words and notions about these things, but as to the things themselves, what do we know?
A53715What Promise hath any unregenerate man to countenance him in this work?
A53715What assistance for the performance of it?
A53715What can I say to the dear Lord Jesus?
A53715What do we comprehend of them?
A53715What do ● t thou know of God?
A53715What doth Peter direct them to?
A53715What good will our Lives do us, if we see not the face of God sometimes in peace?
A53715What is his Name, and what is his Sons Name if thou canst tell?
A53715What is to be expected from such an Heart?
A53715What peace I pray is there to a Soul while God hides himself?
A53715What shall we say then?
A53715Whence is the power, life and vigour of Prayer?
A53715Whence its Efficacy to prevail with God?
A53715Whence then do we expect the Spirit?
A53715Who can declare the Generation of the Son, the procession of the Spirit, or the difference of the one from the other?
A53715Who hath ascended up into Heaven, or descended?
A53715Who hath bound the Waters in a Garment?
A53715Who hath established the Ends of the Earth?
A53715Who hath gathered the Wind in his fists?
A53715Who hath promised him to us, having procured him for us?
A53715Who is it that hath walked up to the Knowledge that he hath had of the Perfections, Excellencies, and Will of God?
A53715Who may assume it to himself?
A53715Who should mortifie?
A53715Whom speaks he to?
A53715Why sayest thou O my soul my way is hid from the Lord and my Judgment is passed over from my God?
A53715Why, because in their Address to God they flattered him: But how doth that appear?
A53715Yea, but what if these are in us, and do abound, may not the other abound also?
A53715You will say, What then would you have unregenerate men, that are convinced of the Evil of sin do?
A53715You will say, what are these dangerous Marks and symptoms, the desperate Attendances of an indwelling Lust that you intend?
A53715and cryed out what shall we doe?
A53715and is not the Gospel End of their Convictions lost thereby?
A53715and shall we daily grieve Him?
A53715and wilt thou venture any more to the brink of Hardness?
A53715but who shall have the comfort of this Assertion?
A53715from whom do we look for him?
A53715hadst thou lived inordinately to thy self?
A53715is there the guilt of any great sin lying upon thee unrepented of?
A53715is this all?
A53715or hast been exercised with any Affliction, without labouring for the appointed End of it?
A53715or hast thou been wanting to the Opportunities of glorifying God in thy Generation, which in his good Providence he had graciously afforded unto thee?
A53715or hast thou conformed thy self unto the World and the men of it, through the abounding of Temptations in the dayes wherein thou livest?
A53715shall we continue in Sin that Grace may abound?
A53715what Love, what Mercy, what Blood, what Grace have I despised and trampled on?
A53715what doest thou expostulate with thy self?
A53715what extremity of sufferings did they put themselves upon?
A53715what oft- times are they directed unto, when their Consciences are galled by Sin, and Disquietment from the Lord hath laid hold upon them?
A53715what violence did they offer to Nature?
A53715whence is that?
A53715wilt thou yet weary him, and make him to serve with thy Corruptions?
A537121. Who hath believed our report?
A537127. and yet are not able to accomplish their designs: What torture do such poor creatures live in?
A537129, 10. Who can know the heart?
A53712A Sacrifice without an heart, without salt, without fire, of what value is it?
A53712A deceiving and a deceived heart, who can deal with it?
A53712Adoption is an especial fruit of it, and how great a priviledge is this?
A53712And can we but be astonished at the power of that principle from whence it is, that they run headlong to their own destruction?
A53712And do now the generality of Professors abide in this frame?
A53712And doth this frame still abide upon them?
A53712And how doth he exercise this merciful ability towards us?
A53712And how little a portion of its deceitfulness is it that we have declared?
A53712And what Promises are these?
A53712And what can possible be more effectual for its ruine and destruction?
A53712And what is the issue?
A53712And what sayes he hereof?
A53712And where doth this treasure lye?
A53712Are we better than Lot, whose Righteous Soul was vexed with the evil deeds of ungodly men, and is thereof commended by the Holy Ghost?
A53712Are we better than Noah, who had that testimony from God, that he was a perfect man in his Generation, and walked with God?
A53712Are we more holy, wise, and watchful than David, who obtained this testimony, that he was a man after Gods own heart?
A53712At least do they not prefer their ease, credit, safety, secular advantages before these things?
A53712Be sober, be vigilant; and why so?
A53712But how far are they appointed thus to carry them on, thus to build them up?
A53712But is their course stopped, are their Principles altered?
A53712But not to mention such open Apostates any farther, whose Hypocrisie the Lord Jesus Christ will ● ● ortly judge; how is it with the best?
A53712But to what end and purpose doth he write these things to them, What do they teach, what do they tend unto?
A53712But what and if oppositions and temptations do lie in the way, Satan and his instruments working with great subtilty and deceit?
A53712But what is the end of these things?
A53712But what need we look back or search for Instances to confirm the truth of this Observation?
A53712But whence is it that they so do?
A53712But why then will he have any thing more to do with them?
A53712Can any one traverse the various mutability of his affections?
A53712Did they not call the Sabbath their delight, and was not the approach of it a real joy unto their Souls?
A53712Did they not contend earnestly for the Truth once delivered to the Saints, and every parcel of it?
A53712Did they not long after the converse and communion of Saints?
A53712Did we ever lose any thing by drawing nigh unto him?
A53712Do the secret springs of acting and refusing in the soul, lie before the eyes of any man?
A53712Do they find the same sweetness and relish in them as they have done of old?
A53712Do you thus requite the Lord, O foolish people and unwise?
A53712Doth any one know what will be the motions of the mind or will, in such and such conjunctions of things?
A53712Doth he by any means take away their lives?
A53712Doth he send his Angel to cut them off, like the Army of Senacherib afterwards?
A53712Doth it set upon the soul?
A53712Doth the Law of the mind command any thing as duty?
A53712Doth this work the effect?
A53712Enquire then how it is with your souls, what do you find of this Law, what experience have you of its power and efficacy?
A53712For what are the vain transitory pleasures of sin, in comparison of the exceeding recompence of reward which is proposed unto us?
A53712Hast thou any spiritual duty to perform, and dost thou design the attaining of any communion with God?
A53712Hath any one the perfect measure of his own light and darkness?
A53712Hath he been a Wilderness unto us, or a Land of Darkness?
A53712Hath he not bid us welcome at our coming?
A53712Hath he not made thee, and established thee?
A53712Hath it bounds fixed to its work?
A53712Hath not the World, and self utterly ruined their Profession?
A53712Have we not received from him more than heart can conceive, or tongue express?
A53712He can knock them on the head, or break out their teeth, or chain up their wrath, and who can oppose him?
A53712He is continually saying to us, Why will you die?
A53712Here is the whole design and use of the Gospel briefly expressed, These things, saith he, I write unto you; what things were these?
A53712How can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?
A53712How can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?
A53712How precious hath the Word been to them formerly?
A53712How sensible of sin will they be for a season?
A53712How will they cordially and heartily resolve against it?
A53712How will they then mourn and weep under a sense of the guilt of it?
A53712In supposition of sin, that we have sinned, is there no relief provided for our souls and consciences in the Gospel?
A53712Is Christ crucified for sin, and shall not our hearts be crucified with him unto sin?
A53712Is it not a little one?
A53712Is it not strange that a man should not do that which he chuseth, willeth, liketh, delighteth in?
A53712Is not he the Fountain and Spring of all our mercies, of all our desirable things?
A53712Is not he thy Father that bought thee?
A53712Is the Understanding or the Mind to be applyed unto any thing?
A53712Is the Will to be engaged, there it is also in spiritual deadness, stubborness, and the roots of obstinacy?
A53712Is their Zeal for God as warm, living, vigorous, effectual, solicitous, as it was in their first giving themselves unto God?
A53712Is there any thing more required to enable us unto that which is good?
A53712Is there the same conscientious tenderness of sinning abiding in many as was in dayes of old?
A53712Is this a requital for Eternal Love, and all the fruits of it?
A53712It is weary before it begins, and says, when will the work be over?
A53712May it not be said, Gray hairs are here and there upon them, and they perceive it not?
A53712May not the same duty performed in publick, or in the Family suffice?
A53712Nay, hath not therein lyen all the rest and peace which we have obtained?
A53712Now is there no difficulty to get the mind into such a frame, as to lay out it self to the utmost in this work?
A53712Now what can be worse than this Law of sin?
A53712Now what is it to be tempted?
A53712Now what is, or what are these ends?
A53712Or better than Hezekiah, who appealed to God himself, that he had served him uprightly with a perfect heart?
A53712Or rather, is there not a common, slight, selfish frame of spirit in the room of it come upon most Professors?
A53712Rivers of water run down our eyes because men keep not thy Law?
A53712Secondly, Is mens delight in the Ordinances& Worship of God the same as in former days?
A53712Shall we give entertainment unto that, or hearken unto its dalliances, which wounded, which pierced, which slew our dear Lord Jesus?
A53712Such a suiting of objects, such a pretension of reasonings, such an appearance of things desirable?
A53712The same love to the brethren?
A53712They answer by Peter, Lord, to whom shall we go, thou hast the words of eternal life?
A53712This is the humble frame of soul ▪ and how is this obtained?
A53712This way, this course of walking, doth well enough with others, why may it not do so with us also?
A53712To draw out, and make use of its stores and furniture of promises and experiences?
A53712Upon the urgency of his great temptation, he recoils immediately into this frame of spirit; How, saith he, can I do this thing, and sin against God?
A53712Was it not of old a burthen to their spirits to hear the Name, and wayes, and Worship of God blasphemed and profaned?
A53712Was then that which is good( that is, the Law) made death unto me?
A53712Were not their souls solicitous about the Interest of Christ in the World, like Eli''s about the Ark?
A53712Wha ● need we be all out so strict in the observation of the Sabbath?
A53712What ails then our foolish and wretched hearts, to harbour such a cursed secret dislike of him and his ways?
A53712What course doth God now take to obviate their conceived sin?
A53712What have we found in God in any of our approaches or addresses unto him, that it should be thus with us?
A53712What iniquity have we found in him?
A53712What is the reason of this?
A53712What joy and delight have they had in attendance thereon?
A53712What need this distinction in hearing?
A53712What need we hear so often?
A53712What now is the genuine tendency of this doctrine, of this discovery of grace, and what ought we to use it and improve it unto?
A53712What now shall hinder them from doing what ever they have imagined to do?
A53712What profit is it, say they, if we slay our Brother and conceal his blood?
A53712What shall we say then, shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
A53712What spiritual wisdom do you stand in need of?
A53712What strivings, struglings, and pleadings are there in the heart about them, especially against the spirituality of them?
A53712What supplies of Grace, what assistance of the Holy Ghost will be hence also discovered?
A53712What then shall be done in this case?
A53712What use then ought we to make of this contemplation of the excellent unspeakable love of God?
A53712Whence is it that men follow and pursue the world with so much greediness, that they neglect Heaven, and life, and immorrality for it every day?
A53712Whence is it that some pursue their sensuality with delight, they will drink, and revel, and have their sports, let others say what they please?
A53712Whence then is it that they do not all flourish and thrive accordingly?
A53712Who can mention the treacheries and deceits that lie in the heart of man?
A53712Why doth it oppose duty, so that the good we would do, we do not, either as to matter or manner?
A53712Why doth it render the soul carnal, indisposed, unbelieving, unspiritual, weary, wandring?
A53712Would you live as though there were no need of the Gospel?
A53712Yea, are not men ready to say with them of old, What a weariness is it?
A53712Yea, are not some come partly on one pretense, partly on another, to an open enmity unto, and hatred of the wayes of God?
A53712Yea, do not many despise all these things, and look upon their own former Zeal, as folly?
A53712You will say then, what shall we do, or how shall we observe this duty?
A53712and are they not regardless of the things wherein they have formerly declared a singular concernment?
A53712and could they not undergo manifold perils for the attainment of it?
A53712are not almost all men grown cold and slack as to these things?
A53712are there not decays and declensions to be found amongst them?
A53712are they not grown weary, selfish in their Religion, and so things be indifferent well at home, scarce care how thy go abroad in the world?
A53712are they not less concerned in them than formerly?
A53712as though pardon of sin were to no purpose?
A53712doth he bring a flood upon them to destroy them, as in the old world sometime before?
A53712doth it carry them so far, and then leave them?
A53712doth it severely rise up against any thing that is evil?
A53712for the love and care of a Father, of a Redeemer, that we have been made partakers of?
A53712have they grown, and made improvement in it?
A53712how is this preserved?
A53712how should we loath all its proposals, and say unto them, Get ye hence as an abominable thing?
A53712or is there not a coldness and indifferency grown upon the spirits of many in this thing?
A53712the same exact performance of private duties?
A53712the same humility of mind and spirit?
A53712the same readiness for the Cross?
A53712the same self- denial?
A53712to be clear, steady, and constant in its duty?
A53712what humiliation, what self- abasement, what intensness in prayer, what diligence, what watchfulness doth this call for at your hands?
A53712when God judged them for their sins and wantonness?
A53712whose Habitation would not be ruined?
A53712whose blood almost would not be shed, if wicked Men had power to perpetrate all their conceived sin?
A53712why will you wither and decay?
A5370816, 17, 18. but how?
A537082. Who can declare what a glory it will be in us to behold this Glory of Christ?
A53708ALL Unbelievers do in their Heart call Christ Ichabod; Where is the Glory?
A53708AND may we not a little examine our selves by these things?
A53708All men indeed think themselves fit enough for Glory( what should hinder them?)
A53708An account why you do all or any of these things?
A53708And how excellent then is that glory of Christ it self?
A53708And if it were so in the Type, what is it in the Truth, Substance and Reality of it?
A53708And is it not our Duty to live in a continual desire of that which he prayed so earnestly that we might attain?
A53708And the Psalmist, How long Lord wilt thou hide thy self for ever?
A53708And we may enquire, what was this Glory of Christ, which they so saw, and by what means they obtained a prospect of it?
A53708And what are they, any, or all of them, in themselves, or unto us, considering our Condition, and the end for which we were made?
A53708And what doth he so desire?
A53708And what is the Effect of it upon those blessed Souls?
A53708And what shall we fear in the Will of Christ as unto this end?
A53708And would we have our souls recovered from these dangerous diseases?
A53708Are not these the things which all the World of Jews and Gentiles stumbled and took Offence at?
A53708Are our Minds every day conversant with Thoughts hereof?
A53708Are we bowed down under the Oppression of any Spiritual Adversary?
A53708Are we or any of us burdened with a Sense of Sin?
A53708Are we perplexed with Temptations?
A53708Are we strangers unto the heavenly visits of consolation and joys, those visitations of God whereby he preserves our souls?
A53708BUT the Enquiry is as before; How shall we have a view of this Love, of God as Love?
A53708But as Job speaks, Where shall this Wisdom be found, and what is the place of understanding?
A53708But he who hath obtained a View of the Glory of Christ, will in the midst of them all say, Whom have I in Heaven but thee?
A53708But how incomparable with respect hereunto is that Condescention of Christ, whereof we have given an Account?
A53708But how is it possible that a man should attain such an Inclination unto, such a Readiness for such a vehement desire of a Dissolution?
A53708But the Question is, How me may attain it?
A53708But the enquiry is, in what way, or by what means, we may obtain the supplies and communications of him unto this end?
A53708But this seems somewhat strange unto Reason; where is the Justice, where is the Equity, that the just should suffer for the unjust?
A53708But what can we see herein?
A53708By what way or means shall we behold the Glory of it?
A53708Can we by searching, find out God?
A53708Can we find out the Almighty to perfection?
A53708Can you give a reason of this hope that is in you?
A53708Commonly they issue in a groan or a sigh; Oh when shall we come unto him?
A53708DO any of us find decays in Grace prevailing in us; deadness, coldness, lukewarmness, a kind of Spiritual Stupidity and senseless coming upon us?
A53708Do we esteem this pressing towards the perfect view of the Glory of Christ to be our Duty, and do we abide in the performance of it?
A53708Do we expect, do we desire the same State of Blessedness?
A53708Do we find an unreadiness unto the exercise of Grace in its proper season, and the vigorous actings of it in Duties of Communion with God?
A53708Do we find our selves lifeless in the spiritual duties of Religion?
A53708Do we look upon it, as that which is without us and above us, as that which we shall have time enough to consider when we come to Heaven?
A53708Do we on any of these accounts walk in Darkness and have no Light?
A53708Do we see him as the Image of the invisible God, representing him, his Nature, Properties, and Will unto us?
A53708Do we see the Father in him, or by seeing of him?
A53708Do we seldom enjoy a sense of the shedding abroad of his love in our hearts by the holy Ghost?
A53708Do we sufficiently consider, that the immediate Vision of this Glory in Heaven will be our everlasting Blessedness?
A53708Doth he not know what is best for us, and what conduceth most unto his own Glory?
A53708Doth it not change them into the same Image, or make them like unto Christ?
A53708Doth it not fill and satiate them with Joy, Rest, Delight, Complacency and ineffable Satisfaction?
A53708Doth not he alone do so?
A53708Doth the imperfect View which we have of it here, encrease our Desires after the perfect Soght of it above?
A53708Examine your selves whether you be in the Faith: prove your own selves: know you not your own selves that Christ is in you, except you be reprobates?
A53708For if one Man sin against another, the Judge shall judge herein; but if a Man sin against the Lord, who shall entreat for him?
A53708For what are all the things of this Life, what is the good or evil of them, in comparison of an Interest in this transcendent Glory?
A53708For what are the things wherein we are to deny our selves, or forgo what we pretend to have a Right unto?
A53708For what should beget such a Desire in them?
A53708For who can declare this glory of Christ?
A53708For who in the Heavens can be compared unto the Lord?
A53708HOW do Men for the most part exercise their Minds?
A53708HOW glorious then is the Condescention of the Son of God in his Susception, of the Office of Mediation?
A53708HOW is it like to be after the few moments, which under the pangs of Death we have to continue in this World?
A53708Hath not God made foolish the Wisdom of this World?
A53708He asketh that Question concerning his Church, What will ye see in the Shulamite?
A53708How are the Souls of Believers ravished with the views of them?
A53708How blind herein was the best Philosopher in comparison of the meanest of the Apostles, yea, of him who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven?
A53708How do we behold it?
A53708How imperfect are our Conceptions of him?
A53708How much more abominable is the folly of men, who would represent the Lord Christ in his present Glory by Pictures and Images of him?
A53708How much more should we prize that view of it, which we may have with open face, tho''yet as in a glass?
A53708How then shall we entertain an Apprehension of being carried and exalted above them all?
A53708How unsearchable are his Judgments, and his Ways past finding out?
A53708How weak are our Minds in their Management?
A53708I speak of them, whose minds are better disposed towards heavenly things; and unto them I say, Wherefore do you love Jesus Christ?
A53708IS Christ then thus glorious in our Eyes?
A53708IT may then be said, what did the Lord Christ in this Condescention, with respect unto his Divine Nature?
A53708IT was a priviledge( who would not have longed to partake of it?)
A53708If thou sinnest, what dost thou against him?
A53708In them are represented unto us the desirable beauties and glories of Christ; how precious, how amiable is he as represented in them?
A53708Is it an Annihilation that lies at the door; is Death the Destruction of our whole Being, so as that after it we shall be no more?
A53708Is it because there is no God in Israel that these Applications are made unto the Idol of Ekron?
A53708Is it not he, who in this World was poor, despised, persecuted and slain, all for our Sakes?
A53708Is it not herein, that they behold and see the Glory of God in Christ?
A53708Is it not right and meet it should be so?
A53708Is it not the same Jesus who loved us, and gave himself for us, and washed us in his own Blood?
A53708Is it not, that God is in him, and he is the great representative of his Glory unto us?
A53708Is not his Will in all things Infinitely Holy, Wise, Just, and Good?
A53708Is not the Cause of it, that we are unspiritual or carnal, having our Thoughts and Affections wonted to give Entertainment unto other things?
A53708Many say, who will shew us any good?
A53708May he not do what he will with his own?
A53708ON the account hereof we may say at present, How little a portion is it that we know of him?
A53708Of all that the Devil shewed our Saviour from the Mount?
A53708Oh the blindness, the darkness, the folly of poor sinners?
A53708Or do we think our selves not much concerned herein?
A53708Or is it a state of universal misery and wo?
A53708Ought not Christ to suffer, and to enter into his Glory?
A53708SO the Apostle expresseth this Truth; Where is the Wise?
A53708Shall it dismiss them all unpunished?
A53708So the Psalmist found it in himself, in the time of his Distress: whence he calls himself unto that account: Why art thou cast down, O my Soul?
A53708That can say, My heart is pure, I am clean from this sin?
A53708That there is no Glory, no desirableness in Christ for Men to enquire after, and fix their Minds upon?
A53708The Watch- men that go about the City found me, to whom I said, saw ye him whom my soul loveth?
A53708The only enquiry is by what way and means we do receive them?
A53708They saw the Glory of his Person and his Office in the Administration of Grace and Truth And how, or by what means did they see this Glory of Christ?
A53708Those wherein he was appointed to be a Stone of stumbling, and a Rock of offence?
A53708To look for Life by his Death?
A53708WHAT are all the stained Glories, the fading Beauties of this World?
A53708WHAT is the World, and what are the things thereof which most men spend their Thoughts about, and fix their Affections on?
A53708Was it not esteemed a foolish thing to look for Help and Deliverance by the Miseries of another?
A53708We may enquire, What shall we, what do we see in him?
A53708We shall behold the Glory of Christ in its Lustre and Excellency: What is this Beauty of the King of Saints?
A53708Were there any thing but Representations of Christ in the Glory of his Person and his Office?
A53708What Glory is in these things?
A53708What are all other things in comparison of the Knowledge of Christ?
A53708What are they conversant about in their Thoughts?
A53708What are they in comparison of one View of the Glory of God represented in Christ, and of the Glory of Christ as his great Representative?
A53708What can be equal unto it?
A53708What can be like it?
A53708What capacity is there in our Nature of such an Habitation?
A53708What do we behold in him?
A53708What doth become the Justice of God to do thereon?
A53708What is Man that thou art thus mindful of him, and the Son of Man that thou visitest him?
A53708What is become of the Beauty, of the Glory of that Image of God wherein thou wast created?
A53708What is his Design in this incomprehensible Work of his Wisdom, Love and Power?
A53708What is it that any Man in distress, who flies thereunto may look for in a Sanctuary?
A53708What is it that we see in Christ?
A53708What is that Glory of Christ, which we do, or may behold by Faith?
A53708What is the Faith and Love which such Men profess?
A53708What is thy Beloved more than another Beloved, that thou dost so charge us?
A53708What is thy Beloved more than another Beloved, thou fairest among Women?
A53708What shall we say unto these things?
A53708What was the High- Priest in all his Vestments and Administrations?
A53708What was the Holy Place with the Utensils of it?
A53708What was the Oracle, the Ark, the Cherubims, the Mercy- Seat placed therein?
A53708What was the most whole Systeme of their Religious Worship?
A53708What were the Sacrifices, and annual sprinkling of Blood in the most Holy Place?
A53708What were the Tabernacle and Temple?
A53708What will he not do for us?
A53708When had we such a View of it as wherein our Souls have been satisfied and refreshed?
A53708When he hideth his face, who then can behold him?
A53708When wilt thou again give me to see thee, tho but as through the Windows?
A53708Where are our Hearts and Minds, if we can see no Glory in it?
A53708Where is Divine Righteousness herein?
A53708Where is the Disputer of this World?
A53708Where is the Scribe?
A53708Where then is that Justice which spared not the Angels who sinned nor Adam at the first?
A53708Wherefore do you desire to be in Heaven with him?
A53708Wherefore do you honour him?
A53708Wherefore do you trust in him?
A53708Wherein doth the Blessedness of the Saints above consist?
A53708Who among the Sons of the mighty, can be compared unto the Lord?
A53708Who can express the Divine Beauty, Order and Harmony of all things that are in this their Recapitulation in Christ?
A53708Who can speak of these things as he ought?
A53708Who hath ascended up into Heaven, or descended?
A53708Who hath bound the waters in a garment?
A53708Who hath established all the ends of the earth?
A53708Who hath gathered the wind in his fist?
A53708Who hath known thy Mind, or who hath been thy Councellor?
A53708Who is it that can justifie himself herein?
A53708Who is it that is thus exalted over all?
A53708Who is it that sits down at the Right Hand of the Majesty on high, all his Enemies being made his Foot- stool?
A53708Who is thus encompassed with Glory, Majesty, and Power?
A53708Who that believes in him, that belongs unto him, can fear to commit his departing Spirit unto his Love, Power and Care?
A53708Who will give and help us to attain so much in and of this World, as will give Rest and Satisfaction unto our Minds?
A53708Whom do they despise, and for what?
A53708Will he not be a Sanctuary unto us?
A53708Will he not do all for us we stand in need of, that we may be eternally saved?
A53708Would this procedure have any consonancy thereunto, be reconcilable unto it?
A53708a state incapable of comfort or joy?
A53708and if thy Transgressions are multiplied, what dost thou unto him?
A53708and that hereon he endeavours to be like unto him, what shall we have to oppose thereunto?
A53708and why art thou disquieted in me?
A53708how will they find themselves deceived in the Issue?
A53708to have an everlasting subsistence in places incomprehensibly more glorious than the Orbs wherein they reside?
A53708when shall we be ever with him?
A53708when shall we see him as he is?
A70766& c. Did they foresee that Deacons do baptize, and yet say in the Margin of that Book, Here let the Priest make the sign of the Cross?
A70766& c. Or whether the Nonconformists be such as Grindal was?
A70766( of which the Papists have made great Advantage) and for all this enjoin a strict, constant Conformity, or Excommunications, and Writs, de capiendo?
A70766And I would fain know what Benefit any Knave can make of Union?
A70766And doth not the Kirk come to Church, and bow as formally to the South, as if it were towards the rising Sun?
A70766And further, either you know the Contrivance, or do not know it?
A70766And how can that be without a new Parliament?
A70766And shall we poor Worms be at Enmity among our selves, for Trifles, to the hazard of the Comforts of this Life, and the Hopes of a better?
A70766And then, whether we are to take the sence and meaning of the Law- giver from his first, or from his last and maturest Thoughts and Declaration?
A70766And to imitate some of themselves in their way of arguing: Are not these things indifferent in their own nature?
A70766And what doth that signify, but that it hangs loose upon your Brethrens Shoulders, and that it is to be laid aside?
A70766Are they not commanded us by lawful Authority?
A70766Are we more strictly tied by the Laws of Men, than of God?
A70766Are you thereabouts with your Calves?
A70766Because we conform to all seemingly, but hypocritically?
A70766But I can not go along, but Questions interrupt ▪ well, Question, what have you to say?
A70766But Sir, you produce our Subscription and Assent against us, and is there no Moderation of Sence and Interpretation of it?
A70766But Sir, you say, you might sit down; but have you sate down and wept?
A70766But how are they a secretis?
A70766But if he had not believed it, why would he preach and print it?
A70766But if it be so great a Crime to be a Dissenter and a Nonconformist?
A70766But if this be the pernicious Effect of Moderation in point of Ceremony, what will their Moderation come to in Articles and Matters of Faith?
A70766But now, Mr. Acuteness, if seemingly 〈 ◊ 〉 more than hypocritically, why have you made an opposition between them by your But?
A70766But pray, Sir, how do you handle it?
A70766But pray, Sir, how do you use to plow in your Country?
A70766But then what becomes of your own Doctrine of misplacing Zeal about Circumstances, Rites, and Appendages of Religion?
A70766But what are our Self- designs by Moderation and similibus?
A70766But what can be done with us without another Act of Parliament?
A70766But what can be said for the old- fashion''d Garment?
A70766But which is rather to be omitted by the Minister, Baptism, which is an Ordinance of Christ, or the Cross, which is an Ordinance of Man?
A70766But who went before us in a far greater Guilt?
A70766But why fraudulent?
A70766But, Sir, to conclude, having gently handled this Point long enough, I ask you, What think you?
A70766But, pray Sir, in what capacity do we Church- Moles contribute to their encouragement?
A70766By what Hocus Pocus, I pray, swallow all whole, in Subscriptions?
A70766By what Law or Reason can he refuse to give him the Child?
A70766By what per modum doth he know the secret Counsels?
A70766Did the Law- givers foresee all Accidents that might happen, and conclude all Occurrences of Providence within their fore- sight?
A70766Did they foresee that some Ministers can not maintain Curats or Readers to help them?
A70766Did they foresee the Resolution of the Dissenters to persist?
A70766Do not we know the power of a scrupulous Conscience?
A70766Do not you furnish them with an unanswerable Argument against Conformity?
A70766Do the Printers receive that in Charge from the King, or the Arch- Bishop, to print that Rubrick?
A70766Do they wear plain Night- Caps, of black Silk, Satten, or Velvet?
A70766Do we design to make Nonconforming Arch- bishops and Bishops, and hope to be their Sons in Law, their Chaplains, or to rise with them?
A70766Doth the Church mind us of a Duty, which she requires not as often as the Communion- Service is said?
A70766Either because of a mind to deceive, which you can not know, nor bring to your Visitation?
A70766Either you know the Encouragers, or the Contrivers, or do not know them?
A70766For we conform seemingly, and what can be done with such?
A70766Grindalizer is the Badg and Cognizance, but what is the Coat?
A70766Have you intercepted Letters?
A70766How as relates not of necessity to a present Communion, and that to be said at the Lord''s Table?
A70766How can we save some with Fear, making a Difference, but by Moderation?
A70766How common a thing is it to take the Articles of the Church in a lax Construction, as Articles of Peace?
A70766How doth he know it?
A70766How much ease would it be to the Minds of our Brethren, to be rid of these Vipers, that prey upon the Bowels of their Mother?
A70766How often hath he demanded such a Certificate?
A70766How should it be handled, if not gently?
A70766I shall not discuss whether Moderation be a single Vertue, or a Cluster of Vertues?
A70766I will have Mercy and not Sacrifice, saith God; but what say such hard Masters as these?
A70766If it be, wo ask, Will you swear to the Truth of it?
A70766If so, then what Conformist is not guilty in a high degree of sinning?
A70766If the whole Body were an Eye, where were the Hearing?
A70766If the whole were Hearing, where the Smelling?
A70766If there be any Pity in us to poor erring Souls, we must shew it in Moderation; Know we not that we our selves are subject to Errours?
A70766If we do all seemingly, how do you know it is hypocritically?
A70766In the capacity of Church- Moles in black Coats, or in some other colour?
A70766Is bodily Weakness in an Infant, a better Reason than a Weakness, or the Judgment of Conscience in a Parent?
A70766Is it left to the Reader''s understanding, and charity, to make what he pleases of it?
A70766Is that a Fault?
A70766Is there no occasion upon which this may either be justified or excused?
A70766Is there such a Man in the Church?
A70766Is there such to be found at all times, even in Cathedral Churches?
A70766Nonconformity, Danger, Dishonour, open Enemy, or what should be the Substantive, or Antecedent to the Article or Demonstrative, This?
A70766Not in those Words, When other Communion can not be had: Other than what?
A70766Now who would take the Haven of Creet for the Emblem of a Grindalizer?
A70766Or Peter and James in the first Council of the Apostles?
A70766Or do they do it for Custom and Form sake?
A70766Or how come you to know these close Cabals?
A70766Or lastly, suppose the Parties scruple the Ceremony, shall we refuse to execute a Law of Nature, for want of an Arbitrary Local Ceremony?
A70766Or shall we declare our selves more tender of hurting, a weak Body, than wounding a weak Soul?
A70766Or the Apostle Paul, in becoming all Things to all?
A70766Or there will be loss to both, if they put it off to another day?
A70766Or, they who give a moderate Exposition of general Terms?
A70766Or, what if the Man must take his Bride in the Humour?
A70766Or, what is his punishment if he do not marry with it?
A70766Or, who can, and be blameness?
A70766Revelationis?
A70766Shall an Ordinance be denied for want of a Ceremony?
A70766Should the one be omitted, and not the other?
A70766Sir, did you declare at your Ordination,( if you be a Minister) that you trusted you were moved by the Holy- Ghost, and called to the Ministry?
A70766Sir, is this an Indictment, or an Accusation against us?
A70766Some Persons are lame, and can not kneel; shall a Minister refuse them?
A70766Speak your own Knowledg, or upon certain Information; Have any of them blabb''d any thing to you?
A70766Suppose a Man affirm, that a strict, close, constant Use of the Letany be enjoined every Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday; how will he prove it?
A70766Suspicionis?
A70766That in some Countrys, Parishes are of a large Extent, and the People can not come together so early as in London and Market- Towns?
A70766That many err unwillingly?
A70766The Grindalizers do either contribute to the encouragement or are profess''d encouragers of these disloyal ill- principled Dissenters: But how?
A70766The first of these is the most judicious Hooker; nay, if most judicious, he might have served alone; and what saith he?
A70766Then, first, did he leave his Text, when he came to his Application?
A70766Therefore as we would not Hypocritize,& c. and why not Grindalize?
A70766These Grindalizers have only the villany to manage the Contrivance: But, good Sir, of what?
A70766They who urge a Sense of Conformity more rigorous than the Law?
A70766To disappear in the Execution; but still, Sir, of what?
A70766To this I answer: Grant it to be in all; are those Forms and Rubricks enjoined by Act of Parliament?
A70766Up what Chimney did you creep?
A70766Was his Soul ever with them?
A70766We handle the Surplice gently say you: Is that a Fault?
A70766We read entirely; and you, and perhaps a few in some great Congregations, go away with a Wing or Leg of a Sentence; which is likest mangling?
A70766We swallow all whole, say you, in Subscriptions; All what?
A70766We will not follow Jeroboam, and worship his Golden Calves?
A70766Well, but what is that to us, which way the Haven bends or bows?
A70766Were they written by a Club, or an Association?
A70766Were you ever a Witness of our Patience,& c. in this Case?
A70766What Encouragement is this for Dissenters to conform, if by their Conformity they must shew no Moderation to the weak and doubting?
A70766What Rubrick or Canon doth enjoyn the Minister to provide one?
A70766What course did God take to save him?
A70766What hurt did Gamaliel in the Council?
A70766What if a Parent shall take or demand his Child as soon as it is baptized, from the Minister?
A70766What if the Ox be taller than the Ass?
A70766What kind of Law do you make this to be?
A70766What kind of Law- makers do you represent ours to be, that made a Law, forbidding the Exercise of a certain Christian Duty?
A70766What only on Communion- Days?
A70766What, saith he, are there no Rubricks to direct the orderly reading of those Prayers where there is no Communion?
A70766Where note, if it was a fault to admit a Church on the Geneva Principle, is it not a Grindalizing in our Arch- bishops and Bishops to suffer it now?
A70766Who are they who are most guilty of making Dissenters?
A70766Who but Archbishop Grindal, Queen Elizabeth, King James, yea, King Charles the First?
A70766Who suffers most by these Slanders, a Party of Dissenting Protestants, or the Protestant Reformed Churches?
A70766and to make an invariable Rule for all particular Times and Occasions?
A70766and wept to remember Sion?
A70766behind what Curtain?
A70766broken open Seals, and discovered us?
A70766do they wear in their Journeys, Cloaks with Sleeves and Capes?
A70766how many of them wrote the Pleas?
A70766if really, whether hypocritically?
A70766if seemingly, whether we do not wear it really?
A70766like Canvass or Fustian?
A70766nor means and leisure to be inform''d?
A70766or because of the fallacious Management of them?
A70766or can you produce Witnesses of it?
A70766or do we mince first, and swallow afterwards?
A70766or per modum Observatoris?
A70766or told you all, under an Obligation of Secrecy, which you keep by printing it?
A70766or will you pawn your Verbum Sacerdotis upon it?
A70766or, rather a Queen that governs and imploys other Graces in their several Services and Offices?
A70766per modum Visionis?
A70766simplices Intelligentiae?
A70766that Catechising and Preaching must take up time?
A70766that all have not a Capacity to judg?
A70766that many Parishes can not maintain, or have not a Minister entire to themselves?
A70766that many are prepossessed, prejudiced, melancholy, overturn''d by Passions?
A70766that we have not Organs to make the Service easy and delightful, as some have?
A70766the great Danger to the Protestant Religion by our Divisions, and Penal Prosecutions of them?
A70766then who can conform?
A70766thorow what Hole did you hear the Consultation?
A70766under what Bed?
A70766was he Patron of all the Preferments?
A70766wept at the Waters of Babylon; or sate down with Pleasure to drink of the Cup —?
A70766what all whole, without dividing Letters, Syllables, Words, Sentences?
A70766what our Hands, Pen, Ink, Paper?
A70766what rudely; scoursely?
A70766what shall it be?
A70766what''s the Substantive to other?
A70766when we wear the Surplice, do we wear it seemingly?
A70766whereas we do not subscribe to that Book then in use, to which the Canon relates, but to that which is now in use?
A70766whether it be a Grace adorning the Christian Court?
A70766why this: May not a Man bow towards Scotland, and be a good Church- man?
A70766with the Ox and Ass in the same Yoak?
A70766with what Ass, and whose Heiser?
A70766—( Now for sound- sake, why not Read me a Riddle, or Rattle, rattle, rattle?)
A5370716, 17, 18. but how?
A537072. Who can declare what a glory it will be in us to behold this Glory of Christ?
A537072?
A537079. Who is wise, and he shall understand these things?
A53707ALL Unbelievers do in their Heart call Christ Iohabod; Where is the Glory?
A53707AND may we not a little examine our selves by these things?
A53707All men indeed think themselves fit enough for Glory( what should hinder them?)
A53707All others are laid under a severe Interdict, under what pretence soever they may be used, Who hath required these things at your hands?
A53707An account why you do all or any of these things?
A53707And hath not God given severe Rebukes unto many of us in their fearful miscarriages?
A53707And how excellent then is that glory of Christ it self?
A53707And if it were so in the Type, what is it in the Truth, Substance and Reality of it?
A53707And is it not our Duty to live in a continual desire of that which he prayed so earnestly that we might attain?
A53707And the Psalmist, How long Lord wilt thou hide thy self for ever?
A53707And we may enquire, what was this Glory of Christ, which they so saw, and by what means they obtained a prospect of it?
A53707And what are they, any, or all of them, in themselves, or unto us, considering our Condition, and the end for which we were made?
A53707And what is the Effect of it upon those blessed Souls?
A53707And what shall we fear in the Will of Christ as unto this end?
A53707And would we have our souls recovered from these dangerous diseases?
A53707Are not all things filled with the fruits of the negligence of such Professors in the Instruction of their Children and Servants?
A53707Are not these the things which all th ● World of Jews and Gentiles stumbled and took Offence at?
A53707Are our Minds every day conversant with Thoughts hereof?
A53707Are they in us, and do abound, as the Apostle speaks?
A53707Are we bowed down under the Oppression of any Spiritual Adversary?
A53707Are we fat and flourishing in these things even in old Age?
A53707Are we or any of us burdened with a Sense of Sin?
A53707Are we perplexed with Temptations?
A53707Are we strangers unto the heavenly visits of consolation and joys, those visitations of God whereby he preserves our souls?
A53707Are we then any of us under Convictions of Spiritual Decays?
A53707BUT the Enquiry is as before; How shall we have a view of this Love, of God as Love?
A53707But as Job speaks, Where shall this Wisdom be found, and what is the place of understanding?
A53707But he who hath obtained a View of the Glory of Christ, will in the midst of them all say, Whom have I in Heaven but thee?
A53707But how incomparable with respect hereunto is that Condescention of Christ, whereof we have given an Account?
A53707But the Question is, How me may attain it?
A53707But the enquiry is, in what way, or by what means, we may obtain the supplies and communications of him unto this end?
A53707But this seems somewhat strange unto Reason; where is the Justice, where is the Equity, that the just should suffer for the unjust?
A53707But what can we see herein?
A53707By what way or means shall we behold the Glory of it?
A53707CONSIDER therefore his Infinite Condescention, Grace, and Love herein: Why all this towards you?
A53707Can not he be happy and blessed without you?
A53707Can we by searching, find out God?
A53707Can we find out the Almighty to perfection?
A53707Can you give a reason of this hope that is in you?
A53707Can your Hearts endure, or can your hands be strong in the day of Wrath that is approaching?
A53707Commonly they issue in a groan or a sigh; Oh when shall we come unto him?
A53707DO any of us find decays in Grace prevailing in us; deadness, coldness, lukewarmness, a kind of Spiritual Stupidity and senseless coming upon us?
A53707Did you love him first?
A53707Do not Pride, Selfishness, Worldliness, Levity of Attire, and Vanity of Life, with corrupt unsavoury Communication, abound among many?
A53707Do we bring forth the fruit of them so as to show the Faithfulness of God in his supply of Grace?
A53707Do we esteem this pressing towards the perfect view of the Glory of Christ to be our Duty, and do we abide in the performance of it?
A53707Do we expect, do we desire the same State of Blessedness?
A53707Do we find an unreadiness unto the exercise of Grace in its proper season, and the vigorous actings of it in Duties of Communion with God?
A53707Do we find our selves lifeless in the spiritual duties of Religion?
A53707Do we look upon it, as that which is without us and above us, as that which we shall have time enough to consider when we come to Heaven?
A53707Do we not abide, yea, abound in the Duties of his Service?
A53707Do we on any of these accounts walk in Darkness and have no Light?
A53707Do we see him as the Image of the invisible God, representing him, his Nature, Properties, and Will unto us?
A53707Do we see the Father in him, or by seeing of him?
A53707Do we seldom enjoy a sense of the shedding abroad of his love in our hearts by the holy Ghost?
A53707Do we sufficiently consider, that the immediate Vision of this Glory in Heaven will be our everlasting Blessedness?
A53707Doth it not change them into the same Image, or make them like unto Christ?
A53707Doth it not fill and satiate them with Joy, Rest Delight, Complacency and ineffable Satisfaction?
A53707Doth the imperfect View which we have of it here, encrease our Desires after the perfect Soght of it above?
A53707Examine your selves whether you be in the Faith: Prove your own selves: know you not your own selves that Christ is in you, except you be reprobates?
A53707For if one Man sin against another, the Judge shall judge herein; but if a Man sin against the Lord, who shall entreat for him?
A53707For what are the things wherein we are to deny our selves, or forgo what we pretend to have a Right unto?
A53707For what should beget such a Desire in them?
A53707For who can declare this glory of Christ?
A53707For who in the Heavens can be compared unto the Lord?
A53707HAVE you in the way of your Profession had any Experience of these Spiritual Decays?
A53707HOW do Men for the most part exercise their Minds?
A53707HOW glorious then is the Condescention of the Son of God in his Susception of the Office of Mediation?
A53707Hath he any Design upon you, that he is so earnest in calling you unto him?
A53707Hath not God made foolish the Wisdom of this World?
A53707Have they under all Tryals and Surprizals been quickly composed by them?
A53707Have this Peace and Joy been maintained and born sway in your Minds?
A53707Have we not been weary of God, untill we have abundant cause to be weary of our selves?
A53707Have you deserved it at his hands?
A53707He asketh that Question concerning his Church, What will ye see in the Shulamite?
A53707How are the Souls of Believers ravished with the views of them?
A53707How blind herein was the best Philosopher in comparison of the meanest of the Apostles, yea, of him who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven?
A53707How do we behold it?
A53707How imperfect are our Conceptions of him?
A53707How much more abominable is the folly of men, who would represent the Lord Christ in his present Glory by Pictures and Images of him?
A53707How much more should we prize that view of it, which we may have with open face, tho''yet as in a glass?
A53707How unsearchable are his Judgments, and his Ways past finding out?
A53707How weak are our Minds in their Management?
A53707I speak of them, whose minds are better disposed towards heavenly things; and unto them I say, Wherefore do you love Jesus Christ?
A53707IS Christ then thus glorious in our Eyes?
A53707IT may then be said, what did the Lord Christ in this Condescention, with respect unto his Divine Nature?
A53707IT was a priviledge( who would not have longed to partake of it?)
A53707If thou sinnest, what dost thou against him?
A53707If what we do be not enough, what is it that you require more of us?
A53707In particular, is not the Duty of Family Prayer neglected by many, at least as to it''s constancy and fervency?
A53707In them are represented unto us the desirable beauties and glories of Christ; how precious, how amiable is he as represented in them?
A53707Is it because there is no God in Israel that these Applications are made unto the Idol of Ekron?
A53707Is it not he, who in this World was poor, despised, persecuted and slain, all for our Sakes?
A53707Is it not herein, that they behold and see the Glory of God in Christ?
A53707Is it not the same Jesus who loved us, and gave himself for us, and washed us in his own Blood?
A53707Is it not, that God is in him, and he is the great representative of his Glory unto us?
A53707Is it nothing unto you to continue Strangers from and uninterested in all this Glory?
A53707Is not the Cause of it, that we are unspiritual or carnal, having our Thoughts and Affections wonted to give Entertainment unto other things?
A53707It is a rare thing that any one shall as much as say unto himself, Is it so with me?
A53707MAY not God say of many of us, what he said of his People of old; Thou hast been weary of me, O Israel?
A53707Many say, who will shew us any good?
A53707ON the account hereof we may say at present, How little a portion is it that we know of him?
A53707Of all that the Devil shewed our Saviour from the Mount?
A53707Oh the blindness, the darkness, the folly of poor sinners?
A53707Or are you not rather on all Occasions uneasie and perplexed?
A53707Or do we think our selves not much concerned herein?
A53707Ought not Christ to suffer, and to enter into his Glory?
A53707SO the Apostle expresseth this Truth; Where is the Wise?
A53707SOME do say on such Exhortations: What is it that you would have us to do?
A53707SOME it may be will say, What then shall we do?
A53707Shall I come before him with burnt- offerings, with Calves of a year old?
A53707Shall I give my First- born for my Transgressions, the Fruit of my Body for the Sin of my Soul?
A53707Shall it dismiss them all unpunished?
A53707THIS therefore we are to enquire into: Doth it abide in us as formerly?
A53707That can say, My heart is pure, I am clean from this sin?
A53707That there is no Glory, no desirableness in Christ for Men to enquire after, and fix their Minds upon?
A53707The Watch- men that go about the City found me, to whom I said, saw ye him whom my soul loveth?
A53707The most, I presume will be ready with them in Malachi, to say, How, or wherein have we been weary of God?
A53707The only enquiry is by what way and means we do receive them?
A53707They saw the Glory of his Person and his Office in the Administration of Grace and Truth And how, or by what means did they see this Glory of Christ?
A53707This, faith the Wise Man, is as the shining Light; that is, the Morning Light: And wherein is it so?
A53707Those wherein he was appointed to be a Stone of stumbling, and a Rock of offence?
A53707To look for Life by his Death?
A53707WHAT are all the stained Glories, the fading Beauties of this World?
A53707WHAT is the World, and what are the things thereof which most men spend their Thoughts about, and fix their Affections on?
A53707Wall say, What have I to do any more with Idols?
A53707Was it not esteemed a foolish thing to look for Help and Deliverance by the Miseries of another?
A53707We hear the Word preached as much as ever; but do we do it with the same desire and Spiritual Relish as before?
A53707We may enquire, What shall we, what do we see in him?
A53707We shall behold the Glory of Christ in its Lustre and Excellency: What is this Beauty of the King of Saints?
A53707Were there any thing but Representations of Christ in the Glory of his Person and his Office?
A53707What Glory is in these things?
A53707What are all other things in comparison of the Knowledge of Christ?
A53707What are they conversant about in their Thoughts?
A53707What are they in comparison of one View of the Glory of God represented in Christ, and of the Glory of Christ as his great Representative?
A53707What can be equal unto it?
A53707What can be like it?
A53707What can be more required of us?
A53707What do I lack yet?
A53707What do we behold in him?
A53707What doth become the Justice of God to do thereon?
A53707What is Man that thou art thus mindful of him, and the Son of Man that thou visitest him?
A53707What is become of the Beauty, of the Glory of that Image of God wherein thou wast created?
A53707What is his Design in this incomprehensible Work of his Wisdom, Love and Power?
A53707What is it that any Man in distress, who flies thereunto may look for in a Sanctuary?
A53707What is it that is required of us?
A53707What is it that we see in Christ?
A53707What is that Glory of Christ, which we do, or may behold by Faith?
A53707What is the Faith and Love which such Men profess?
A53707What is thy Beloved more than another Beloved, that thou dost so charge us?
A53707What is thy Beloved more than another Beloved, thou fairest among Women?
A53707What shall we apply our selves unto?
A53707What shall we say unto these things?
A53707What was the High- Priest in all his Vestments and Administrations?
A53707What was the Holy Place with the Utensils of it?
A53707What was the Oracle, the Ark, the Cherubims, the Mercy- Seat placed therein?
A53707What was the most whole Systeme of their Religious Worship?
A53707What were the Sacrifices, and annual sprinkling of Blood in the most Holy Place?
A53707What were the Tabernacle and Temple?
A53707What will he not do for us?
A53707When had we such a View of it as wherein our Souls have been satisfied and refreshed?
A53707When he hideth his face, who then can behold him?
A53707When wilt thou again give me to see thee, tho but as through the Windows?
A53707Where are our Hearts and Minds, if we can see no Glory in it?
A53707Where is Divine Righteousness herein?
A53707Where is the Disputer of this World?
A53707Where is the Scribe?
A53707Where then is that Justice which spared not the Angels who sinned nor Adam at the first?
A53707Wherefore do you desire to be in Heaven with him?
A53707Wherefore do you honour him?
A53707Wherefore do you trust in him?
A53707Wherein doth the Blessedness of the Saints above consist?
A53707Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow my self before the high God?
A53707Who among the Sons of the mighty, can be compared unto the Lord?
A53707Who can express the Divine Beauty, Order and Harmony of all things that are in this their Recapitulation in Christ?
A53707Who can speak of these things as he ought?
A53707Who hath ascended up into Heaven, or descended?
A53707Who hath bound the waters in a garment?
A53707Who hath established all the ends of the earth?
A53707Who hath gathered the wind in his fist?
A53707Who hath known thy Mind, or who hath been thy Councellor?
A53707Who is it that can justifie himself herein?
A53707Who is it that is entangled with Corruptions and Temptations, that groans under a sense of a cold lifeless barren frame of Heart?
A53707Who is it that is thus exalted over all?
A53707Who is it that sits down at the Right Hand of the Majesty on high, all his Enemies being made his Foot- stool?
A53707Who is thus encompassed with Glory, Majesty, and Power?
A53707Who will give and help us to attain so much in and of this World, as will give Rest and Satisfaction unto our Minds?
A53707Whom do they despise, and for what?
A53707Why will ye dye?
A53707Will he not be a Sanctuary unto us?
A53707Will he not do all for us we stand in need of, that we may be eternally saved?
A53707Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of Rams, or with ten thousands of Rivers of Oyl?
A53707Would this procedure have any consonancy thereunto, be reconcilable unto it?
A53707and if thy Transgressions are multiplied, what dost thou unto him?
A53707and that hereon he endeavours to be like unto him, what shall we have to oppose thereunto?
A53707doth he stand in need of you?
A53707how will they find themselves deceived in the Issue?
A53707prudent, and he shall know them?
A53707to preferr present Trifles before the Blessedness or Misery of an Immortal State?
A53707was this the way and manner of the Saints of old, of those that went before us in the same Profession?
A53707when shall we be ever with him?
A53707when shall we see him as he is?
A53707wherein are we to blame?
A53707why will ye perish?
A53707why will you not have compassion on your own Souls?
A53665199, 200,& c. to be true, as some of them are most blasphemously false; yet, What is all this to his purpose?
A53665All the question is, Whether Religion they brought with them?
A53665And hath Rome need of these bold Sallyes against the vitals of Religion?
A53665And have they so?
A53665And if you will further contest, that such a Prophet was to abrogate the first Law, and bring in a new one, Who shall judge in this case?
A53665And what is here for Purgatory, seeing the person is to be saved by the means of grace appointed by Christ?
A53665And what then?
A53665And what was the reason of this failure?
A53665And who I pray is it, that manageth this charge?
A53665And, can they take it kindly of those, who would shut up this gift of God from them whether they will or no?
A53665Are these the things, which in their principles and practice, are blamed by Protestants?
A53665Are they also to be taken disjunctively?
A53665Are they any prayers that concern the Priest alone, which he is to repeat, though the people be present?
A53665Are they not incomparably the greatest part of Christians?
A53665Are they not rather justly to be supposed blind themselves, who can entertain such thoughts of it?
A53665Are they not such as God commands to worship him?
A53665Are they not such as have souls to save?
A53665Are they not such, for whose sakes, benefit, and advantages, all the worship of the Church is ordained, and all the admistration of it appointed?
A53665Are they not the Church of God, the Temple of the Holy Ghost?
A53665Are they not, For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup?
A53665Are they the publick prayers of the Church?
A53665Are we wiser then he?
A53665Besides, What is, or ever was, the Western Empire unto the Catholicism of the Church of Christ, spread over the whole world?
A53665Besides, Who appointed them to be made?
A53665Besides, might she not fall by Idolatry, or false Worship, or by Prophaneness, or Licentiouss of Conversation, contrary to the whole rule of Christ?
A53665Besides, what is here about the invocation of Saints?
A53665But I desire to know, What prayers of the Priest they are, which it matt ● rs not, whether the people hear or understand?
A53665But after the chalice, he speaks with a limitation, Do this as oft as you shall drink it, in commemoration of me; What then?
A53665But do we not see, de facto, what differences there are amongst you, who pretend, all of you, to be guided by Scripture?
A53665But how shall we come to know, and be assured of all this?
A53665But is he not, I pray, the same Man- God, still?
A53665But is this indeed the difference between Papists and Protestants about the Saints?
A53665But the question is, Whether they have what God allows them, and what he commands them to make use of?
A53665But to what purpose should I do it?
A53665But what if they understand of it nothing at all?
A53665But what is it, he means by the Book?
A53665But what is the matter?
A53665But what is this indifferent use, and who are these antient Christians he tells us of?
A53665But what, I pray, if this be the design of the Apostle?
A53665But who, I pray, told our Author so?
A53665But why have not Protestants a remedy for their evils, a means of ending and making up their differences?
A53665But why have not Protestants a sure and safe way to issue all their differences?
A53665But why is it not necessary in the way of Protestants?
A53665But why so, I pray?
A53665But, What is a general Custome of the Western Empire, in opposition to the command of God, and the evidence of all that reason that lies against it?
A53665But, What shall we say to the other, and, in the other Texts, so often occurring to the same purpose?
A53665But, how shall we know this to be so?
A53665But, sayes our Author, why then do they not do so, why are they at such fewds and differences amongst themselves?
A53665But, what stop?
A53665By what Authority was she otherwise reproved?
A53665By what general Council was she ever condemned?
A53665Consult the writings of those dayes, of Alexander of Alexandria, of Athanasius, Gregory, Basil, Chrysostom, Austine, who not?
A53665Could ever any one rationally expect, that these Gentlemen would be publick decryers of Fury, Wars, and Tumults for Religion?
A53665Did it not come to very many parts of the World before you?
A53665Did the Gospel first come forth from you, or came it unto you only?
A53665Did the Gospel first come from you, or only unto you, that you thus exalt your selves above your Brethren all the World over?
A53665Did the Pope first find it out, and declare it?
A53665Did they baptize men into the name of the Pope?
A53665Do Protestants teach, There are no such things as good works pleasing to God, or that those that believe, are not obliged to good works?
A53665Do all these things put no value on them?
A53665Do they know what they do, or with whom they have to deal?
A53665Do they not wholly persist in the way traced for them by Paul, Peter, and Apollos, mightily convincing the Jews out of Scripture?
A53665Do we not know by whom it first came to you, and from whom?
A53665Doth he mannage the Arguments of the Jews against Christ, to intimate that we can not well by Scripture prove him to be so?
A53665Doth he plead with them about their falling away from him that first converted them?
A53665Doth he profess love and compassion to his Countreymen, to draw them off from their folly, to have been the cause of his writing?
A53665Doth it not deliver what it commands us to understand, so as it may be understood?
A53665Doth it speak contradictions, and set us at variance?
A53665Doth it teach us to differ, and contend?
A53665Doth our Author plead, that where, and from whom men had their Religion of old, there and with them they ought to abide, or to return unto them?
A53665Doth the Sanctification of the Scripture, consist in the laying up of the Book of the Bible, from our profane Utensils?
A53665Doth the mysteriousness of it, lie in the Books being locked up?
A53665Doth this represent the practice of Papists, or Protestants?
A53665For first, as to the Translation of the Scripture by the Jews into the Syriack Tongue, to what purpose doth he suppose, should this be done?
A53665For, What are the words of a poor weak man to those of the Holy Ghost speaking directly to the same purpose?
A53665Have they ever read the Scripture, or tasted any sweetness in it?
A53665Have we more care of his Church then he had?
A53665Have we not an express Command, not to follow a multitude to do evill?
A53665How comes one, to be Sacred, another prophane and common?
A53665How often doth God complain in the Old- Testament, that his people forsook Him for that which was not God?
A53665I ask, Of this or that Age, or of the first?
A53665I desire then to know, What are these vulgar people, of whom he talks?
A53665I desire to know, Where they got that command, Thou shalt make Images?
A53665I pray, Who told you so?
A53665If the former; as the expression is uncouth, so I desire to know, Whether Purgatory be an instituted means of Grace or no?
A53665If the latter, to what end is the issuing forth of the spirit mentioned?
A53665If( saith he) God''s Laws be impossible to be kept; but, Who said so?
A53665In what publick writing of any of their Churches?
A53665In which of their Confessions do they so say?
A53665Is any such thing pleaded by Origen, Tertullian, Chrysostom, or any one that had to deal with the Jews?
A53665Is he God- Man, bodily present?
A53665Is he the same Head that Christ was?
A53665Is it Protestants he blames, and not Protestancy?
A53665Is it a limitation of the use of either, and not a limitation of that kind of Commemoration of the Lord''s Death to the use of both?
A53665Is it any otherwise sanctified, but as it is appointed for the use of the Church of all that believe?
A53665Is it possible that any man in his right wits should talk at such a rate?
A53665Is it the spirit after it is departed?
A53665Is it, that it may be laid up, and be hid from that people, which Christ hath prayed, might be sanctified by it?
A53665Is not the command equal to all?
A53665Is not the same term as often annexed to the one, as well as to the other?
A53665Is not this a ready way to make men Atheists, if only by inducing them to an imitation of that, which by his example he commends unto them?
A53665Is she no other way capable of a defence?
A53665Is their practice confined within the limits of these principles?
A53665Is there any Nation under the Heavens, whereunto your power extends, wherein our blood hath not given testimony to your wrath and fury?
A53665Is there any spirit of dissension breathing in it?
A53665Is there any thing in his Epistle of the Pope, Cardinals, Patriarchs,& c?
A53665Is there any thing needful for us to know, in the things of God, but what it reveales?
A53665Is there intimated by our Author, a decay of Devotion and Reverence to Religious things, Temples ▪& c?
A53665Is there no way to exalt the Pope, but by questioning the Authority of Christ, and Truth of the Scripture?
A53665Is this in truth his business?
A53665Is this that, which is intended by the Author?
A53665Is this the Doctrine of the Church of England?
A53665Is this the Doctrine of the Council of Trent, or of the Harmony of Confessions?
A53665Is this the doctrine of the Papists concerning them?
A53665Is this to be endured, that Calvin, that holy- faced man should say of such holy persons, that they had need to be redeemed and saved by Jesus Christ?
A53665Is this to make it common, to apply it unto that use, whereunto of God it is segregated?
A53665It is founded on that of the Apostle to the Corinthians, Did the Word of God come forth from you, or came it unto you only?
A53665It will not indeed; But yet we suppose, that his presence with It by his Spirit and Laws will suffice; Why should it not?
A53665May not Protestants say to them, Quae regio in terris nostri non plena cruoris?
A53665Might not the persons of whom it consisted, have been destroyed by an earthquake, as it happen''d to Laodicea?
A53665Might she not cease to be, and so consequently to be such?
A53665Must they abide with them, follow after them, and imbrace the errors they are fallen into, because they first received the Gospel from them?
A53665Naughty man, what hath he said of them?
A53665Now the question is, Whether we shall rest in the Authority and Word of God, or in the Authority and Word of a Man, as the Pope is confessed to be?
A53665Now, saith our Author, What is all this to the service of the Church?
A53665Or is it the person before its departure?
A53665Or what makes it in this place?
A53665Or whose is it?
A53665Or, Who, or What is it, you mean by this vulgar people?
A53665Pray, What are the next words?
A53665Prayers to St. Paul, St. James, Thomas, Panoratius, George, Blase, Christopher, Who not?
A53665Prove it; ask the antient Fathers, and Councils, whether they ever heard of any such thing?
A53665Saith he, This Church could not cease to be such, but she must fall either by Apostacy, Heresy, or Schism: But who told him so?
A53665Shall the Truth be thence calumniated, as though it sent forth no beams whereby it may be clearly discerned?
A53665Suppose a spirit so to issue forth as he talks?
A53665Suppose then they come to be perswaded of such an uncertainty, What course shall they take?
A53665Suppose they be in Heaven, What then?
A53665The Scripture abounds in Testimonies given hereunto: St. James expresly; From whence come wars and fightings among you?
A53665The trivial instances of the use of the Particle( and or et) disjunctively, as in that saying, Mulier est domûs salus,& ruina?
A53665Their private devotions?
A53665This Orator of Peace?
A53665This, indeed, were something; but, Whoever supposed so?
A53665This, what I pray?
A53665To what end I pray, hath God sanctified it?
A53665To what purpose then do you talk of Title to impose your conceits in Religion upon us?
A53665Was all true, that the Jews accused the Christians of?
A53665Was it the Popes Religion they taught and preached?
A53665Was not the whole Church of Christ represented by them?
A53665Was there any thing more frequent among the Pagans of old, than to object to Christians their Differences and endless Disputes?
A53665Was this the method of Christ, or his Apostles, in drawing men to the Faith of the Gospel?
A53665Were ever such bold assaults against the immoveable Principles of Christianity made by any, before Religion came to be a matter of carnal Interest?
A53665What Church, I pray?
A53665What can possibly be spoken more fully, distinctly, plainly, as to Institution, Precept, Practice,& Duty upon all, I know not?
A53665What course doth the Apostle proceed in, towards them?
A53665What course shall we take in the contest of assertions, that we may be able to make a right Judgment concerning him?
A53665What do we talk of tother- day things, when we speak of the first news of Christianity?
A53665What if they did so?
A53665What in this case would be their duty who received the Gospel from them?
A53665What is the meaning of that which follows, If there be no value or merit in good Works?
A53665What makes that enquiry in our way at this time, If it suffice to Salvation, to believe, whatever life we lead?
A53665What one individual Protestant was ever guilty of thinking or venting this folly?
A53665What sorry shifts dost thou cast thy Patrons upon?
A53665What then can be bound with this Rope of Sand?
A53665What then is the This that good St. Paul so amply testifies unto, in his Epistle to the Romans?
A53665What then, I pray?
A53665What then?
A53665What will hence ensue to the advantage of the pretensions of the Romanists?
A53665What, if they were all Priests, that were there, as no one of them was, Was the Supper administred to them as Priests, or as Disciples?
A53665When I happen upon any of these Discourses, I can not but say to my self; What do these men intend?
A53665When?
A53665Whence comes this Dove, with an Olive- branch?
A53665Where is the Scripture, where the Antiquity, where the Reason for it?
A53665Which be they?
A53665Which of the Fathers ever wrote against her?
A53665Who can tell us, what that is?
A53665Who ever said so, taught so, wrote so, in England?
A53665Who ever taught that there is no value in good Works?
A53665Who told you so?
A53665Who would love such a beast, that so claws and tears her embracers?
A53665Who would not be sick of such trifles?
A53665Why is not this part of his command as Obligatory to them, as any others?
A53665Why so?
A53665Will not Rome notwithstanding its seven Hills, be laid in a level with the rest of the World, by vertue of this Rule?
A53665Wilt thou Reader know the meaning of them, and withall discern how thy pretended Teacher hath colluded with thee in this whole Discourse?
A53665Would it do him any good to have it granted, or further his purpose?
A53665Would not any man think, that he intended the Originals wherein it was written?
A53665Yea, but this is not all, Christ is beholding to him for all the faith of his Deity that is in the world; Why so?
A53665Yea, that he is more miraculous in him, then he was in himself: What proof, Sir, is there of this?
A53665all by the same Synecdoche?
A53665and how many do the Apostles shew us in the New, to have forsaken the Truth?
A53665and what reason can be given, that they should not?
A53665and, Whether it was believed so by Virgil, or is by any of the more learned Romanists?
A53665and, what a triffling is it to tell us of the Popes Council at Nice?
A53665and, whether is like to yield us more security in our assiance?
A53665any thing of their power, and rule over other Churches, or Christians, not living at Rome?
A53665but how comes our Author to know, that these things, in the Roman- mode, were brought into England at the first entrance of Christianity?
A53665but how could he justly do it?
A53665by what Authority were Writs issued out against me?
A53665called to be Saints?
A53665come they not hence even of your lusts that war in your members?
A53665doth it follow, that in the pursuit of this design, he teaches nothing concerning the use of an unknown Tongue in the worship of God?
A53665mens miscarriages, and not their Rule''s imperfection?
A53665of what kind?
A53665or by the sword, as it befel the Church of the Jews, or twenty other wayes?
A53665or falling away from the Truth whereunto they were converted?
A53665or of the Presbyterians, or Independents?
A53665or what would you have us to conclude?
A53665or, Declare that the Pope was crucified for them?
A53665or, Do we think, that it becomes us thus arbitrarily to chuse, and refuse in the institutions of our Lord and Master?
A53665or, Is there no mention of Preaching, unless it be said, that such a one preached at such a time, so long, on such a Text?
A53665or, to use the words made use of once and again by our Author, Came the Gospell from them, or came it to them only?
A53665seeing we must not believe, that the blood of Jesus purges us from all our sins; Who, or What is it then that he means by himself?
A53665that now professed in England, or that of Rome?
A53665the Church of Christians?
A53665the Law, Prophets, and Hagiography?
A53665the Paper, Ink, Letters, and Covering?
A53665the same Christ, though the manner of his presence be altered?
A53665this the way of the holy men of old, that laboured in the Conversion of Souls from Gentilism and Heresie?
A53665to the whole World as well as to you?
A53665what Officer of the State did ever, formerly, apprehend me?
A53665what is it that is said to be made to the Lord?
A53665who can bear such intemperate Theiomachy?
A53665who told you so?
A53665〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 what Book was kept in the Ark?
A53713& c Know you not, that as many of us, as were baptized in Iesus Christ, were baptized into his death?
A53713* Super vitas, quas vitas?
A537131. that is, the Father; and what is to be believed in him?
A5371311, 12. if we have no pledge of his gracious presence with us?
A5371313 the Father in Love?
A5371314 no more?
A5371314. and why so?
A5371315 manifested, and may be discovered out of Christ?
A5371315 not the defilements of it, and the Guilt of it?
A5371316 their prosperity?
A5371317 from him; l Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?
A5371317. this new Creature is fed, cherished, nourished, kept alive by the fruits of Holinesse: to what end hath God given us new Hearts, and new natures?
A5371318 and are Religious persons, consider a little with your selves: hath Christ his due place in your hearts?
A5371318 some one thing, some another: consider I pray, what are all your beloveds, to this beloved?
A5371319. what reliese have we from thoughts of his immensity and omnipresence, if we have cause only to contrive how to fly from him?
A5371320 these things be so, what manner of men ought we to be, in all manner of holy conversation?
A5371320 unacquainted are the Generaliy of Professors, with the Mystery of this Communion, and the fruits of it?
A5371320, Is it pardoning mercy we receive of him?
A537133 such, that men in killing us, will think to approve their Consciences to God?
A537134 our Saviour tell it them at this season, to adde feare and perplexities to their griefe and sorrow?
A537134 that should make him so desireable, and amiable, and worthy of Acceptation?
A5371346, b Principium culmenque?
A537135, 6. whence then, should we take to our selves this boldnesse to walke with God?
A537135. he dips his vesture in their blood: Oh how glorious is he in his Authority over his enemys?
A5371351. that They resisted the Holy Ghost, How did they doe it?
A5371354 never be acceptable to Jesus Christ: What?
A5371357 or amend our wayes, it is but going to Christ by faith, making this exchange with him, and so we may sinne that grace may abound?
A537137, 8, 9. and what is he made king of?
A537138 if once acquainted with the Terrour of the Lord is, Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire?
A537139. we have seen his Glory( saith the Apostle) what Glory is that?
A53713?
A53713All naught, all out of Order, and Vile, Whence then is our Recovery?
A53713Alters he not his Love towards them?
A53713And a truely pressed soule on the account of Christs Absence can not cover its love, but must be enquiring after him; saw you him whom my soul loveth?
A53713And are not the like praises and blessings due to him, by whom the work of Redemption is made effectuall to us?
A53713And for his Mercy, Goodnesse, and the Riches of his Grace, how eminently are they made Glorious in Christ, and advanced for our good?
A53713And how was it primitively made known?
A53713And if this be so,( to shut up all) how many that goe under the name of Christians come short of the Truth of it?
A53713And if this were the frame of their Spirit, what might be expected from others of professed prophannesse?
A53713And in what Glory doth he excercise this power?
A53713And is it not necessary, that they should be Holy, who are admitted into his presence, walke in his sight, yea lay in his bosome?
A53713And is it not the the same towards thousands every day?
A53713And shall I be regardlesse of him in that wherein he is concerned?
A53713And what are we towards whom he carrieth on this work?
A53713And what is it that they beare witnesse unto?
A53713And what is such a vine good for?
A53713And what is this Wisdome of God, that is thus made known to principalities and powers?
A53713And what is this inheritance of Glory?
A53713And whence is this fullnesse?
A53713And who almost is there, that offends not on one of these hands?
A53713Are there none who professe the Gospell, who have never once seriously enquired, whether they are made partakers of the Holy Ghost, or no?
A53713Are they under affliction or in trouble?
A53713Are we then freed from this obedience?
A53713Behold what manner of Love the Father hath bestowed on us?
A53713But by whom immediatly doe we receive this honour?
A53713But have they any true consolation all their days?
A53713But how is this demonstrated, how may we attaine an acquaintance with it?
A53713But if they be so necessary, whence is it, that thou hast not acquainted us with it, all this while?
A53713But is the Spouse contented with this dispensation?
A53713But is there no more to be done?
A53713But this is to no other end but to make them cry, who amongst us shall dwell with that devouring fire?
A53713But what doth she now doe?
A53713But what is all this to that view of it which may be had by a spirituall eye in the Lord Christ?
A53713But will not this encourage to sinne?
A53713But you will say, how can this be?
A53713But you will say: How should we addresse our selves to the performance of this duty: what path are we to walk in?
A53713Can I live one day without his consolations?
A53713Christ is the power of God, and the Wisdome of God; hath he the sense of Guilt upon him?
A53713Consider the Company they keep, it is with the Father, who so glorious?
A53713Did this dwell, and abide upon our hearts, what a deare valuation must we needs put upon all his operations and actings towards us?
A53713Doth he shed abroad the Love of God in our hearts?
A53713For if Righteousnesse were by the Law, then were Christ dead in vaine?
A53713From the Spirit dwelling in the Saints?
A53713God; even our God, who is a consuming fire?
A53713He is Light, We Darkenesse, and what communion hath Light with Darkenesse?
A53713He is Love and we are enmity, and what Agreement can there be between us?
A53713He q hid himselfe from him, was farre from the voyce of his cry, untill he cryed out, my God, my God, why host thou forsaken me?
A53713He saies to his soule, doe these things seeme something to thee?
A53713He was made under the Law, that is, in that condition that he was obnoxious to the will and commands of it: and why was this?
A53713Here is Mercy enough for the greatest, the oldest, the Stubbornest Transgressor?
A53713How can they possibly come to the end, who go not in the way?
A53713How did their Fathers resist the Holy Ghost?
A53713How doth he expostulate this with Syon?
A53713How doth the good holy soule breath after instruction in the ways and ordinances, the statutes and judgements of God?
A53713How faire then is he, who never had the least spot or staine?
A53713How few of the Saints are experimentally acquainted with this priviledge, of holding immediate communion with the Father in Love?
A53713How glorious is he that is the beloved of our soules?
A53713How glorious is he to the Soule on this Consideration?
A53713How if I should not be accepted?
A53713How little able was I to look through the clouds and perplexities wherewith I was encompassed?
A53713How little suitablenesse unto thy Holinesse is in my best duties?
A53713How many Millions of Sinnes, in every one of the Elect, every one whereof Were enough to condemne them all, hath this Love overcome?
A53713How much more blessed then are they, who stand continually before the God of Solomon, hearing his Wisdome, enjoying his love?
A53713How saith it, have I demeaned my selfe, that I have lost my beloved?
A53713How shall I value the mercy, that I have received?
A53713How so?
A53713How then is this Love of the Father; to be received, so as to hold fellowship with him?
A53713How unwilling is a Child to come into the presence of an angry Father?
A53713I aske what is a King more then a Beggar?
A53713I have had sweet enjoyment of my blessed Jesus, he is now withdrawen from me; can you helpe me?
A53713I know how the men of these attainments are apt to say, are we blind also?
A53713I know not at all whether be Loves me or no; and shall I venture to cast my selfe upon it?
A53713I say at such a time what will men doe?
A53713I will give you the Comforter: and what then?
A53713I will pray the Father for you?
A53713If I be a Father, where is mine Honour?
A53713If any man enquire about our love to God, we may say, what have we now done, is there not a cause?
A53713If h Levi paid Tithes in the Loynes of Abraham, how is it that Christ did not sinne in the Loynes of Adam?
A53713If the Love of a Father will not make a child delight in him, what will?
A53713If they say, n come& have Fellowship with us; are not men ready to say; why, what are you?
A53713If we can from thence only say it is a Righteous thing with him to recompence tribulation unto us for our iniquities?
A53713In the nature of it; what is there in that forbearance, which out of Christ is revealed?
A53713In what darknesse, saies such an one, in what streights, in what intanglements, was my poor soule?
A53713Is he dead?
A53713Is it Grace that we receive of him?
A53713Is it any thing else but to be sharers in Troubles, Reproaches, Scornes, and all manner of evils?
A53713Is it meet to take Childrens bread and to cast it unto doggs?
A53713Is it not their unskilfulnesse in, or neglect of this Duty, even of holding Communion with the Father in Love?
A53713Is it that we should kill them, stifle the creature that is found in us, in the wombe?
A53713Is it the Spirit he gives us?
A53713Is not this Soule- deceit from Sathan?
A53713Is our beloved lost who for our sakes was upon the earth, poore and persecuted, reviled, killed?
A53713Is this now the worke of the Spirit, which is abroad in the world, and perverteth many?
A53713Is this the due Entertainment of him whom our Saviour promised to send for the supply of his Bodily absence, so as we might be no loosers thereby?
A53713Is this the fellowship of the Holy Ghost that Believers are called unto?
A53713It is impossible there should be any greater demonstration or evidence of love then this; what can any one doe more?
A53713Let men go to the Sun, Moon& Stars, to showres of rain& fruitfull seasons,& answer truly, what by them, they learn hereof?
A53713Lord God what wilt thou give mee, seeing I goe Childlesse?
A53713Lord what am I in my best estate?
A53713Love in the Father, is like Honey in the Flower?
A53713May it not be said of many of them, rather that God is not in all their thoughts, then that they have Communion with him?
A53713May not his Spirit say, why doe I still abide with these poore soules?
A53713Now how can these be shed abroad in our hearts?
A53713Now how ● o they hear witnesse hereunto?
A53713Oh the world of sinfull follys, that our deare Lord Jesus beares withall on this account?
A53713Oh what hast thou done blessed Jesus?
A53713On the part of the Saints?
A53713Or as David in another case, what have I now done, is there not a cause?
A53713Quae nunc abibis in loca Pallida, rigida, nudula?
A53713Quid autem misericordia, nisi alienae miseriae quaedam in nostro corde compassio: qua alicui ● possumus subvenire compellimur?
A53713Quo fugis Encelade?
A53713Quomodo igitur negat?
A53713Secondly what is the best of their resolves and enduring?
A53713Shall not the Iudge of all the world do right?)
A53713Shall sinne and lust dwell in those thoughts which receive in, and carry out Love, from and unto the Father?
A53713Shall the dust of the Ballance, or the drop of the Bucket be laid in the scale against him?
A53713Shew me the sinner that can spread his Iniquities to the dimensions( if I may so say) of this Grace?
A53713Should they not with all diligence cleanse themselves from all pollution of Flesh and Spirit, and perfect Holinesse in the feare of the Lord?
A53713So much Sin& not ashamed?
A53713So much guilt& not confounded?
A53713That the will of the Spirit is in the worke; 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 he comes forth himselfe?

A53713When ever was the time, where ever was the place, that our love was one day equall towards God?
A53713When the ways of the Spirit of God are grievous and burdensome to us, when we say when will the Sabbath be past that we may exact all our labours?

A53713alas he cryes( as Reuben afterwards upon the losse of Ioseph) the Child is not, and whither shall I goe?

A37046As for other Questions, as, How the Sacraments Seal?
A37046Beside can it be thought, that so soon they thought it to be God, and yet so easily afterwards passed from it?
A37046But who should give?
A37046By Command?
A37046Can it be by guess or accident( to speak so) that so many priviledges are fallen on that day?

A37046Eminently, what is required more as to holiness this day then on other dayes wherein also the Lords people should be holy?
A37046Especially, seeing it is for the Families behoof, that these things were written?
A37046First, What is the Punishment here threatned?
A37046For what end are they used?
A37046Fourthly: If by this Command Heathenish Idolatry, or the Serving God by Images be condemned?
A37046How Vows bind?

A37046If a man may aim and endeavour to increase his estate, how far?
A37046If any ask, How this Threatning is to be understood?
A37046If any should ask here, if indeed the breaches of this command be greater sins then the breaches of the commands of the second Table?
A37046If any should ask the cause, why men do ordinarily take so little notice of this Command, and so generally sin against it?
A37046If any use, especially religious, of Images be lawful?

A37046If it be further asked?

A37046If this bring not down self- Righteousness, and convince you of the necessity of a Mediatour, what will do it?
A37046If ye ask then, Wherein is there any difference allowed?
A37046If ye ask what suitableness we have to it?
A37046If ● o, what will ye do?
A37046In the last place we shall speak a little to this Question; If and How, the admission of scandalous persons doth pollute the Communion?
A37046Is Sacriledge less then taking what is your own?
A37046Is ever the mind quiet?
A37046Is it not still his estate and of the same value?
A37046Is it not such who have this qualification of Ruling their own Houses well?
A37046Is this to bear burthen with a smitten family wherein one is dead, to come and burthen them, and table your selves in their house?
A37046It may be here inquired: what it is to be religious in these common duties we owe to others?
A37046It may be objected, But God rested the Seventh day?
A37046It s good we have a High Priest to bear them: O, what if all our sins were reckoned, how hainous would they be?
A37046It saith a day of seven is moral and necessary, which is all we say; and why necessary?
A37046It''s Object: 2, It''s act, to kill?
A37046It''s true, God might Soveraignly limit men, but where he hath given liberty( if it were but by concession) who can restrain?
A37046Let us see then 1. wherein it consisteth?
A37046Men might readily say; What needeth so much Rigidity in the manner of worship?
A37046Next, if it be asked, what Idols are most subtil?
A37046O how many irrational, and almost infr ● brutal practises are amongst us?
A37046On whom it is?
A37046Or wil ye take more boldly from Gods day, then from your own?
A37046Or, if ● oynt- Communicants be thereby defiled?
A37046Quest If all men should be honoured?
A37046Question is, How then differ Oaths from Asseverations?
A37046Question is, What may be said of Imprecations?
A37046Secondly, it may be enquired how often by vertue of this command that day doth recur?
A37046Should we love them all alike and equally?
A37046That every one should observe that and honour it in another; What is it then to honour them?
A37046That one should love all men?
A37046The First Question then; is, What it is that is here Threatned?
A37046The first is remember, what?
A37046The first is the World; this is the great Clay- Idol that both covetous and voluptuous men hunt after, crying, Who will shew us any good?
A37046The first is, whether these words, I am th ● Lord thy God,& c. be a part of the first Commandment, or a Preface to all the Ten?
A37046The great question is concerning a promissory Oath, if in any case it may be made void, and cease to oblige, or, in what cases that may be?
A37046This inordinateness may be in respect of frequencie, unseasonableness, carnalness in the manner; and what need is there to say more?
A37046VVho hath woe?
A37046We are now to clear the second question, If any worship may be given, and what worship is due to Images of any sort?
A37046What can be the Reason that Christians thus Worship the Devil, and swear by him, as Israel did by Baal?
A37046What humility and soft walking, what contrition and tenderness of heart; what frequency and fervency, what seriousness and spirituality in Prayer?
A37046What if all did so gad abroad?
A37046What if some in the Family could not read?
A37046What is done without warrant of either Scripture- precept or practise, can not be dose in faith?
A37046What is written in the Law?
A37046What possible loss or want is it that can not be made up in him?
A37046What solicitous securing of the grand Interest amid''st these shakings- loose of all other interests?
A37046What then can be said for it?
A37046What to account of the punishment of theft in the Court of men?
A37046What to judge of, and how to carry in Usury( as it is called)?
A37046What?
A37046Whether is the Father or Magist are most to be obeyed, if they command contrarily?
A37046Whether ought a Father to love his Son, or a Son to love his Father most?
A37046Who can say, I am clean?
A37046Why are your Visits stinted to such a time more then another?
A37046Why the Lord doth so?
A37046Ye have taken away my Gods from me, and what have I more?
A37046Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsly, neither lie one to another, — Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him?
A37046Yea, if even wicked men also?
A37046Yea, would he not be thought Infamous in breaking his Good Faith?
A37046a little of whom can go far, inconceivably far, to fill up much empty and voyd room, through the removal of many and most choice Creature- comforts?
A37046and doth it not often yield consent to these motions?
A37046and for what ends?
A37046and how especialy unbecoming is it for men of place and reputation?
A37046and how few good purposes are often followed forth?
A37046and how little care and pains is taken to walk by the former rules in them?
A37046and if it be not a breach of this command to give ● ny religious worship to any of them?
A37046and if so, if God will be avenged on these severely?
A37046and should it not alwayes be looked for?
A37046and therefore may it not yield that same equivalent by moderate usury or interest?
A37046and what a posture would a man be in, when in such a case, to meet death?
A37046and what a sum will they come to, if our performances of holy duties have so many sins in them?
A37046and what lively longings, with sweet submissions to his Will to be dissolved, and to be with Jesus Christ, which is best of all?
A37046and what marks to know them by?
A37046and when the sins of a Sabbath are counted, how many will they be?
A37046and whence it came, and what way may it be stinted or limited among Christians?
A37046and wherein this goeth beyond these?
A37046and why neglect ye that which is best for them?
A37046and will not the unsutable sanctification of but one Sabbath, or the interruption of their wonted seriousness therein, giue them a sore backset?
A37046are these fables cunningly devised and told by the Non conformists- Preachers?
A37046as many do now in our dayes; and shal this be displeasing to the Lord, and not the other?
A37046but that you are in expectation of one, even a Heavenly Country, so that God is not ashamed to be called your God?
A37046by what means?
A37046can or dare men pray in earnest for Gods guiding in these things, in every throw of Dice, or shuffling of the Cards?
A37046do not all Writers, who comment on the Decalogue, comment on this Command, and urge the sanctifying of the Lords day from it?
A37046drink how much or how little they will?
A37046flye ye must to Christ, or lye still; and can there be any secure lying still for but one hour, under Gods Curse drawn out?
A37046how do ye joyn in prayer with others?
A37046how few work, or work somewhat harder for this end?
A37046how is his kindness abused, and he not reverenced as Creator of whom we have our Being?
A37046how little conscience is made of this?
A37046how often are these broken, even in that which we might easily do?
A37046how often is it sadly verified?)
A37046how often will we find this Commandment broken?
A37046how readest thou?
A37046if it be not here, where is it?
A37046if it be one of seven?
A37046if our professions( who are least in them) were met and measured by our reality, O how lamentable vast a disproportion would be found?
A37046is it not rather to make the house of mourning a house of feasting ▪ and to forget the end of all living, which the living should lay to heart?
A37046is there no better, no more innocent and inoffensive way?
A37046often so, as ye would be ashamed to pray before men; how do ye Read, Meditate,& c. in secret?
A37046or can they( if guilty themselves) reproved it in others?
A37046or how?
A37046or in faith expect still the revealing of his Decree that way?
A37046or what they Seal?
A37046or when it is done, and past, can they suitably acknowledge Him in it?
A37046or, How he doth reach Children with eternal plagues for their Parants sins?
A37046or, if it be the very seventh?
A37046should they then actively remove the use of their reason by a practise which may be inductive to such abominations?
A37046tell me( if ye remember what we spoke in the opening of it) is there any of you that lyeth not under the stroak of it?
A37046tell me, who of you will be able to purge your selves of this guilt?
A37046the Promise as a Covenant, or as a Testament leg ● ● ing Christ and his benefits to us?
A37046the m ● jor or the minor proposition?
A37046to expost ● lat with the Women of his time after this manner; What doth this cumbersome dressing of the head contribut to your health?
A37046to say in effect, Who is the Lord, that I should reverence his Name?
A37046vvho hath redness of eyes?
A37046what Mortification of Lusts, what deadness and denyedness to, and what weanedness from all Creature- comforts and delights of the sons of Men?
A37046what a dreadful length is this that men are come?
A37046what coveting of, and complacency in fellowship with God the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ, while your other fellowship is made desolate?
A37046what delight- some meditations on God, and on his Law?
A37046what discontents with providences, grudgings, vain wishings,& c. are there?
A37046what emptiness is there, much more appearance and shew, then reality and substance?

A53720* Magnum aliquid Pelagiani se scire putant quando dicunt, non Juberet Deus quod seit non posse ab homine fieri, quis hoc nesciat?
A53720* Magnum aliquid Pelagiani se scire putant quando discunt, non Juberet Deus quod sit non posse ab homine fieri, quis hoc nesciat?
A53720* Nonne advertimus multos fideles nostros ambulantes viam Dei, ex nulla parte ingenio comparari; non dicam quorundam haereticorum, sed etiam minorum?
A53720* Quid est omnis qui audivit a Patre,& didicit, venit ad me; nisi nullus est qui audiat& discat a Patre& non veniat ad me?
A53720* Quis istis corda mutavit, nisi qui finxit singillatim corda eorum?
A53720* Quomodo prosiciebat sapientia Dei?
A53720* Wherefore I enquire,( Secondly) Whether God doth really effect and work in any the things which he here promiseth that he will Work and Effect?
A5372013. yet in single Acts who can go further?
A5372016 What is in the Manner of Teaching by the greatest Moralist; and what are the Effects of it?
A5372022 Is it from his Actings as the great Prophet of the Church, that you expect Help and Relief?
A5372023 Will you betake your selves to the Kingly Office of Christ, and have you Expectations on him by vertue thereof?
A5372036 But how will this effect it, how will sin be mortified hereby?
A537208 Besides,( Secondly,) what shall become of the Honour and Holiness of the Gospel on this Supposition?
A53720A constant humble Acknowledgement of Sin; Who can understand his Errors?
A53720A perswasion of our Minds by rational Motives taken from the Word, and the Things contained in it?
A53720Again 3 ly, May Believers in Trouble pray for the Spirit of Consolation with respect unto their Troubles, it being unto such that he is promised?
A53720And asketh who hath known the mind of the Lord, or who hath been his Counsellor?
A53720And by what Means is this effected?
A53720And concerning this also we may say Who teacheth like him?
A53720And do you not herein invite all sorts of Sinners, the worst and the greatest, to come unto him by Christ, that they may be pardoned and accepted?
A53720And how are we made Partakers hereof?
A53720And how is it given us?
A53720And how is this new Heart communicated unto us?
A53720And how shall he effect this Work?
A53720And how should the Heart resist the Work of Grace, when that whereby it should resist is effectually taken away?
A53720And shall such Persons, by reason of whom the Name of Christ is dishonoured and blasphemed continually, expect Advantage by him or Mercy from him?
A53720And shall we not now put all our Temporary Concerns into the same Hand?
A53720And that Pharaoh who despised one day, saying, Who is the Lord that I should regard him?
A53720And the same is here supposed in Men?
A53720And unto what end?
A53720And what are these things that he shall so declare?
A53720And what do these Men intend by this quickning, this raising us from the Dead by the Power of God?
A53720And what is more so of Christ than his Blood and its Efficacy for the purging of our sins?
A53720And what is the Effect hereof?
A53720And what need then is there of Jesus Christ?
A53720And where then is the Advantage pretended, that should render Holiness so indispensibly necessary unto us?
A53720And wherein have we any advantage of the Jews, or wherein consists the preeminence of the Gospel?
A53720And who knowes not how the Scripture abounds in Instances of this Nature?
A53720And who knowes not what will be the End of such a cursed Hope and Expectation?
A53720Are there not open and visible Decayes in many, as to the whole Spirit, all the Dutyes and Fruits of Holiness?
A53720Are you by it dedicated unto God, and made his peculiar Ones?
A53720Are you cleansed, and sanctified, and made Holy thereby?
A53720Are you dead and cold in Duties, backward in Good Works, careless of your Hearts and Thoughts, addicted to the World?
A53720Are you redeemed out of the World by it, and from your vain Conversation therein, after the Customs and Traditions of men?
A53720Art thou saith he, a Master in Israel and knowest not these things?
A53720But how cometh the Spirit himself the Author of these Revelations to be acquainted with these things?
A53720But how do they prove it?
A53720But how is this proved?
A53720But how may this be done, by what means may it be accomplished?
A53720But how shall this be effected and brought about?
A53720But how shall this be effected?
A53720But if Sin be in us we are defiled, and how shall we be Cleansed?
A53720But if thine Eye be evil, the whole Body shall be full of Darkness; if therefore the Light that is in thee be Darkness, how great is that Darkness?
A53720But if we our selves give way to Temptations, Corruptions, Negligences, Conformity to the World, is it any wonder if we are lifeless and thriftless?
A53720But is this the way which they like and choose to express their Notions and Apprehensions?
A53720But supposing that they made a real industrious Attempt for the Mortification of sin, what success have they had, what have they attained unto?
A53720But to what purpose is it to hide our selves from our selves when we have to do with God?
A53720But under what especial Consideration doth he effect this Work of mortifying sin in us?
A53720But unto what End was this touching of his Garment?
A53720But was there ever heard of such a monstrous Expression, if there be nothing else in it?
A53720But what Ground or Colour is there for any such Notions in the Scripture?
A53720But what could the Testimony of twelve poor Men, though never so honest, prevail against the confronting Suffrage of the World?
A53720But what is his End therein?
A53720But what is it that really they ascribe unto him?
A53720But what is this unto Evangelical Holiness and Obedience?
A53720But what value is there in that Name or Title, where the whole Mystery of the Gospel is excluded out of our Religion?
A53720But when this is done for us, is there ought else yet remaining to be done?
A53720But when we have to deal with God, who puts no trust in his Servants, and chargeth his Angels with Folly, what shall we say?
A53720But who is this Spirit?
A53720But why doe I say, it is possible?
A53720But will that suffice, or is there no more required of us unto that End?
A53720But will this warrant the Course which it is manifest they steer in Matter and Manner?
A53720Can not the best among us contribute somewhat to the Evidence hereof from our own Experience?
A53720Can the same Fountain send out sweet and bitter water?
A53720Can the same Soveraign Pleasure of God, be the free only Cause of all our Blessedness, and can it do that which is really Evil unto us?
A53720Can this be any otherwise done but by Holiness of Heart and Life, by Conformity to God in our Souls, and living unto God in fruitfull Obedience?
A53720Chosen we are unto Salvation, by the free Soveraign Grace of God: But how may this Salvation be actually obtained?
A53720Despisers of its Fruits in Holiness, shall never have the least Interest in its Fruits in Righteousness?
A53720Did God set his Heart upon some from Eternity?
A53720Did ever any pious Soul couch such an Intention in his Supplications?
A53720Do Men consider with whom and what they make bold in these things?
A53720Do we know how the members of the Body are fashioned in the womb?
A53720Do you find his Doctrine Effectual unto these Ends, and are your Hearts and Minds cast into the Mould of it?
A53720Doth he design to give them the highest, greatest, best Fruits and Effects of his Love, and Glorifie himself in their Prayses for ever?
A53720Doth he therefore reject and despise those that are Tempted, that labour and suffer under their Temptations?
A53720Doth it not declare that it is shamefully naked, destitute of all Beauty and Comeliness, wholly polluted and defiled?
A53720Doth not even Nature it self teach you?
A53720Ergo cum ille nos in regnum suum per adoptionem sacrae regenerationis assumpserit, nos ei quod suum est denegamus?
A53720Et ad quid hoc?
A53720For he is God, and who hath resisted his Will?
A53720For how in general doth the Holy Spirit teach us and enable us to pray?
A53720For how should he so do?
A53720For how, or in what sense can an Act of the Power of God be Given by him, or be Received by us?
A53720For if the Holy Ghost be God himself, as hath been declared, how can he be said to be given by the Father, as it were, in a way of Authority?
A53720For the deeds of the Law no man can be justified: If thou Lord shouldest mark Iniquities, O Lord who shall stand?
A53720For to what purpose is it to exhort Blind Men to see, or Dead Men to live, or to promise Rewards unto them upon their so doing?
A53720For what can he who is God so receive?
A53720For what could not I have done, who loved wickedness for it self?
A53720For what have we in or from our selves, on the Account whereof we should be lifted up?
A53720For what should Creatures of such a base and defiled Extraction have to boast of in themselves?
A53720For what should make it otherwise, seeing there was no Change in it by Sin, nor did God require more or harder things of us than before?
A53720For what were we when he thus set his Heart upon us, to choose us, and to do us good for ever?
A53720For whence in that Case should they arise or Spring?
A53720For whereas he is absolutely pure, holy, and perfect, how can he have Vnion or Communion with them who are in any thing defiled?
A53720For who is sufficient for these things?
A53720For why should they do so who are sensible of no Spiritual Pollution, nor have the least touch of shame with respect thereunto?
A53720For, say they, if God have freely from Eternity chosen men unto Salvation, what need is there that they should be Holy?
A53720For, what Cloke or Pretence of Dislike or Neglect is here left unto any?
A53720From whence come Warrs and Fightings among you, come they not hence, even of your Lusts that war in your Members?
A53720God commands that we should be so, but what if we are not so?
A53720Hast thou not heard, hast thou not known?
A53720Hath he instructed you unto sincerity in all your Wayes, Dealings, and whole Conversations among men?
A53720Hath he strengthened, aided, supported, assisted you by his Grace, unto all Holy Obedience?
A53720Hath he subdued your Lusts, those Enemies of his Kingdom, which fight against your Souls?
A53720Hath he taught you to be humble, to be meek, to be patient, to hate the Garment spotted with the flesh?
A53720Hath his Blood purged your Consciences from dead works, that you should serve the living God?
A53720Have you effectually learned of him to deny all Vngodliness and worldly Lusts, to live Righteously, and Soberly, and Godly in this present World?
A53720Hence by Nature we are wholly unclean; who can bring a clean thing out of that which is unclean?
A53720Herein I confess he was horribly assaulted until he cryed out, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A53720How and by whom is this done?
A53720How can a Quality, an Accident, an Emanation of Power from God be tempted?
A53720How can the Vertue of God or the Power of God be said to be poured out, to be shed abroad& the like?
A53720How can this be seeing I know not a Man?
A53720How come they then eminently to be assigned one to one Person, another to another?
A53720How difficult is it to keep it up unto an even fixed stable frame of acting spiritually in Spiritual Things?
A53720How full is the World of Disorder, Confusion, Oppression, Rapine, Uncleanness, Violence, and the like dreadfull Miseries?
A53720How is it of Soveraign Mercy that I am now in this State and Condition of Plenty and Peace?
A53720How is it ready at every breath to unbend and let down its Intension?
A53720How is it then that we may yield a Revenue of Glory herein?
A53720How many that are called Christians doth this Character suit in these dayes?
A53720How may this be Exercised?
A53720How often doth God charge his People with Back- sliding, Barrenness, Decayes in Faith and Love?
A53720How shall they be able to bring forth Fruit?
A53720How then doth he bear witness with our Spirits?
A53720How then is he said to Choose us that we should be Holy?
A53720How then may this be done or effected?
A53720How then sayest thou that God hath forsaken thee?
A53720How unable is the Mind of man to find out Rest and Peace in them or from them?
A53720I have a Baptism to be Baptized withal, and how am I straitned, or pained, till it be accomplished?
A53720I say, how, by what Power and Vertue were they healed in the Wilderness, who looked unto the Brazen Serpent?
A53720If I be wicked, saith Job, why then labour I in vain?
A53720If he doth not, where is his Truth and Faithfulness?
A53720If so, which of them?
A53720If these are the things which they intend, what is the matter with them?
A53720In all these Respects we may say of Christ as Job said of God, Who teacheth Like him?
A53720Is it from his Sacerdotal?
A53720Is it lawful for us, is it our duty to pray that God would do and effect what he had promised to do, and that both for our selves and others?
A53720Is it not that the Body, the Power, the whole Interest of Sin in you may be weakened, subdued, and at length destroyed?
A53720Is it not then our Duty alwayes to consider these Commands, to bind them unto our Hearts, and our Hearts to them, that nothing may seperate them?
A53720Is it so easie a thing to kill an Enemy who hath so many Advantages of force and fraud?
A53720Is it that which gives us a new Heart, with the Law of God written in it?
A53720Is it that which he worketh in us in the pursuit of Electing Love?
A53720Is it that which is purchased and procured for us by Jesus Christ, and the Encrease whereof in us he continueth to intercede for?
A53720Is it the Image of God in us, and doth our Conformity unto the Lord Christ consist therein?
A53720Is it the Renovation of the Image of God in us by Grace?
A53720Is not this to bear witness with the World against him, that indeed his Life was unholy?
A53720Is the Spirit of the Lord straitned or shortned?
A53720Is there no Alteration made in Religion by the Interposition of the Person of Christ to be Incarnate, and his Mediation?
A53720Is there no Danger in this Warfare?
A53720Is there not somewhat peculiar herein, beyond any other Act or Duty of our Lives?
A53720Is this Moral Vertue, that which God hath predestinated or chosen us unto before the Foundation of the World?
A53720Istane est( saith he) innocentia puerilis?
A53720It is all sin, and nothing else; why do the Dispensers of the Gospel press any Duties on such as they know to be in that estate?
A53720It may be asked why these are called Prophets?
A53720It will be said then, where lies the Difference?
A53720Know you not that ye are the Temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
A53720Know you not that ye are the Temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
A53720May a Person who is yet Vnregenerate pray for the Spirit of Regeneration to effect that Work in him?
A53720Must it not be looked on as a Doctrine less Holy than that of the Law?
A53720Namely openly to revile and scorne the very Naming and asserting the work of the Spirit of God, in the words which himself hath taught?
A53720Nay, would not this indeed make Christ the Minister of Sin, which our Apostle rejects with so much Detestation?
A53720Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a Man be born when he is old; can he enter the second time into his Mothers Womb and be born?
A53720No Alteration in the Principles, Aids, Assistances, and whole Nature of our Obedience unto God?
A53720No Augmentation of the Object of Faith?
A53720Notes for div A53720-e68380* Si in Gratia, non ex natura Aquae, sed ex praesentia est Spiritus Sancti: numquid in Aqua vivimus, sicut in Spiritu?
A53720Now consider what it is that in your Prayers you most labour about?
A53720Of what use then is the Spirit of God in these things?
A53720On the like occasion did the Pharisees ask of our Saviour that question with pride and scorn; are we blind also?
A53720Or that he deserts and gives over the Work of Grace which he hath undertaken towards them as not able to accomplish it?
A53720Or that the several Gifts of the Spirit are so many distinct kinds of it?
A53720Or the Holy Ghost is one in general, because many Effects are ascribed unto him?
A53720Or, do we only desire that God would so help us, as to leave us absolutely undetermined, whether we will make use of his help or no?
A53720Our God, saith the Apostle, is a consuming fire; what then, what follows as our Duty thereon?
A53720Poor lost undone Creatures, that lay perishing under the Guilt of our Apostasie from him?
A53720Quanto minus vereri debuit Mansuetam gregem tuam pronuncians verbum tuum, qui non verebatur in verbis suis turbas insanorum?
A53720Quid enim aliud est potestas nisi adsit animus Apostolicus?
A53720Quid enim non facere potui qui etiam gratuitum ama ● i facinus?
A53720Quis autem ibi eum non noverat?
A53720Quis hujus rigoris duritiem ad obediendi mollivit affectum, nisi qui potens est de lapidibus Abrahae silios excitare?
A53720Shall we say that he designs only a weak and imperfect Work upon the Hearts of Men?
A53720Shall we then think that the Holy Spirit of God will immix his own Holy Inspirations with the wicked suggestions of the Devil in a South- sayer?
A53720Should a Wise- man utter 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 knowledg of Wind?
A53720So far as it is thus with us, may we not, ought we not greatly to blame our selves?
A53720That remains therefore to be enquired into, Who is intended in that word Me?
A53720The sole Enquiry is, How we may do so, and what he requireth of us to that purpose?
A53720Was it because they meerly pretended and counterfeited a Spirit of Prophesie, or had they really any such?
A53720Were it not as good for them to indulge unto their Lusts and Pleasures, seeing all comes to one end?
A53720Were it not better to leave them to themselves and wait for their Conversion, than to spend time and labour about them to no purpose?
A53720What Allusion is there between that Work, and the doctrinal proposal of Truth to the Minds of Men?
A53720What Conclusion as to our Practice and Obedience do we hence educe?
A53720What Impression doth this make upon our Souls?
A53720What Lowliness becomes then who dwell in Houses of Clay, whose Foundation is in the Dust, and who are crushed before the Moth?
A53720What advantage shall they have by a complyance with them?
A53720What can be spoken more to the Derogation of it?
A53720What did he foresee that we would doe of our selves more than others, if he wrought not in us by his effectual Grace?
A53720What did he see in us, to move him so to choose us, nothing but Sin and Misery?
A53720What else can any one learn from them concerning the one or the other?
A53720What else could any Man living imagine?
A53720What if we doe comply with the Command, and become holy?
A53720What is his distinct Testimony in this Matter?
A53720What pretence then could there be for any to say that Christ was in such a place?
A53720What shall we do?
A53720What shall we say then, is there no sincere Holiness where such Decayes are found?
A53720What then is the distinct Testimony that is ascribed unto him?
A53720What then shall we say, that he is not a Person, but only the Power of God?
A53720What then will he do for them?
A53720What therefore is incumbent on us with respect thereunto, that we may know we have an Interest in this single Security against final Apostasie?
A53720When was this Wind Created?
A53720Whence doth that Blessedness arise, and wherein doth it consist?
A53720Whence then doth it come to pass that the Minds of Men should be filled and possessed with enmity against him?
A53720Where is it said that all the Gifts of the Holy Ghost do constitute or make up one Holy Ghost?
A53720Where is it said, that a Man is Born again, or Begotten a- new by himself?
A53720Where then is the Glory of his Immutability, of his Essential Holiness, of the absolute Rectitude of his Nature and Will?
A53720Where then shall we in this Condition cast Anchor?
A53720Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow my self before the High God?
A53720Whither shall I go from thy Spirit?
A53720Who art thou, saith he, O great Mountain?
A53720Who can merit by doing his duty?
A53720Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord, or being his Counsellor hath taught him?
A53720Who or what then is intended by that Pronoun Me?
A53720Who will be so unwise as to attempt that which he hath no strength to accomplish?
A53720Why are we so slow, so Negligent in the pursuit of our principal Interest and Happiness?
A53720Why do they not say unto them, you believe in Christ, you believe in the Gospel; and thereon expose them to Derision?
A53720Why do we suffer every thing, why do we suffer any thing to divert our Minds from, or retard our Endeavours in this Design?
A53720Why doe we weary our selves about other things?
A53720Why else are they said to be dead?
A53720Why will they not speak of the things of God in Words that the Holy Ghost teacheth?
A53720Will he be able hereon to discharge this Duty, so as that sin may dye, and his soul may live?
A53720Will he make them all Kings or Emperours in the World?
A53720Will he then despise their Complaints, and their bemoaning of themselves before him?
A53720Will the Lord be pleased with Thousands of Rams, or with ten Thousands of Rivers of Oyl?
A53720Will this render those Expressions concerning him proper?
A53720With what Appearances, what Out- sides of things are most men satisfied?
A53720Yea who is there that indeed doth naturally think otherwise?
A53720You name the Name of Christ, profess an Interest in him, and expect Salvation by him; which Way will you apply your selves unto him?
A53720but the Spirit of Christ because he is not so, but only treateth of him?
A53720did he choose them to be his own peculiar, to distinguish them as his from all the residue of Mankind?
A53720doth it not appear rather to be Retrograde and under a constant Decay?
A53720from which of his Offices do you expect Advantage?
A53720how may we be brought into the actual possession of it?
A53720if we have no such sufficiency, to what purpose should we set about the thinking or doing of any thing that is good?
A53720in what sence is our Holiness proposed as the Design of God in Election?
A53720is it our Conformity from thence unto him in his Holiness?
A53720is it our being Holy in all Manner of Holiness, because God is holy?
A53720no Watchfulness, no Diligence required of us?
A53720numquid in Aqua signamur sicut in Spiritu?
A53720or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
A53720quia non obeditur imperiis quibus perniciose obediretur?
A53720shall I come before him with Burnt- Offerings, with Calves of a year old?
A53720that any one should ever read the Bible, or once consider what he is, and with whom he hath to doe, and to be ignorant of this Duty?
A53720was it not because that was an Ordinance of God, which by his Almighty Power he made effectual unto that purpose?
A53720what are the perishing Profits, Pleasures, and Satisfactions by them, which this World can afford?
A53720what is it, not to refuse the Grace of Conversion, but to comply with it?
A53720whither shall we betake our selves for Quietness and Repose?
A53720why are they so afraid of the Words and Expressions of the Scripture?
A53720why doe we spend our Labour in vain, and our Strength for that which is not bread?
A53720will he not avenge them of that Enemy, and that speedily?
A53720— Sed qualiter hoc se ● tiri potest cum ita scribitur;& Sanctus est super eum Spiritus Domini& ambulans prophetabat?
A53678( 1) Why God gave this Covenant which was so insufficient unto this great End?
A53678( 2) How then did any of the People yield Obedience unto God, if the Covenant exhibited no Aid nor Assistance unto it?
A53678( 2) What was the especial End and Design which he had therein, towards the Heirs of Promise?
A5367822. was it not so to look on a woman to Lust after her, or were such unclean desires ever innocent?
A5367825, 26: how had he been meet to attempt or effect this work, had not he himself been every way undefiled?
A53678All those Priests being removed, how shall we do now to draw nigh unto God, without such a conduct, such a countenance?
A53678And did not the whole Church prove victorious in the End?
A53678And had he dealt so with all mankind, who could say unto him, what dost thou?
A53678And how can a poor sinful Mortal man, such as are the best of their Priests; pretend to offer the same Sacrifice unto God?
A53678And how can this be in us, unless we have a good perswasion concerning our mutual Interest and In- being in Christ?
A53678And how come we to inherit it?
A53678And how do we become Heirs of this Inheritance?
A53678And how shall they Preach except they be sent?
A53678And how shall they believe in him, of whom they have not heard?
A53678And how shall they hear without a Preacher?
A53678And if it be so, what use is there of the Mediation and Intercession of Jesus Christ?
A53678And if lying unto the Holy Ghost is so great a sin, what is it to make the Holy Ghost a Liar?
A53678And is it not an unspeakable encouragement thereunto, that God hath confirmed him in that office by his solemn Oath unto him?
A53678And is it not just and equal that we should wholly submit in our work unto his Will, and rest in his Pleasure?
A53678And shall his Servants in the work of the Gospel suppose themselves debased, to receive Respect and Honour from the same Principle?
A53678And shall we think that God will leave any other of his Promises unaccomplished?
A53678And the enquiry is, which of these the Apostle hath respect unto?
A53678And then, How it did evidence it self so to be, as they saw it?
A53678And unto the first Enquiry, Unto what end it served?
A53678And was it from their own wisdom and courage that they were so preserved?
A53678And what Blood must this be?
A53678And what can this do for the real Expiating of the sins of our souls?
A53678And what could not this offering make Attonement for?
A53678And what doth the Law do?
A53678And what greater despite and wrong could be done unto him, then to question his truth and the veracity of his testimony?
A53678And what greater security can they have hereof, than the Interest and Glory which this their High Priest hath in Heaven?
A53678And what is it that is within this Vail?
A53678And what is the Reason or Foundation hereof?
A53678And what is the Reason, why men should so readily close with other means, other Mediators of Intercession to go to God by them?
A53678And what is the final Issue whereinto all these things do come?
A53678And what is there remaining that can encourage us in and unto Duties of Obedience?
A53678And what more Honourable Issue could it come unto?
A53678And what perfection can be expected by such a Priesthood where the Priests were obliged continually to offer for their own sins?
A53678And what perfection could be comprized in an everlasting Rotation of sins and sacrifices?
A53678And what should be the condition of this grace here promised of the pardon of sin?
A53678And what was it( saith the Apostle) that was declared, manifested and known thereby?
A53678And what will he not do for us, who in the height of his Glory is not ashamed to be esteemed our Forerunner?
A53678And whether he make or marr a Vessel, who shall say unto him, What doest thou?
A53678And who but God can ordain himself to be our Reward?
A53678And who knows but this may have the same blessing accompanying of it?
A53678And who was meet to tender it unto him, but the man that was his Fellow, who gave efficacy unto his oblation by the dignity of his Person?
A53678And why should they not?
A53678And why should we despond under the same Trials?
A53678And( 2) in what manner did he teach?
A53678And( 3) what did he so declare unto them, or instruct them in?
A53678And( 4) How did he dispense the Word unto them?
A53678And( 5) When, or at what season did he thus lay out himself in the discharge of this Duty?
A53678And( 6) in what outward condition was he, and with what frame of Spirit did he attend his work?
A53678Are they Priests in Heaven for ever after the Order of Melchisedec?
A53678Are they offered unto God for that end?
A53678Are they sprinkled on these things for their Purification?
A53678Are we not in his hands, as Clay in the hands of the Potter?
A53678Art thou he who is to come?
A53678Art thou he who is to come?
A53678But did any of them miscarry?
A53678But how came Melchisedec to be thus Great?
A53678But how comes this Son of God to be concerned herein?
A53678But how could a Mortal Man come into the World without Father or Mother?
A53678But how is this done, how is their part acted?
A53678But how shall men call on him in whom they have not believed?
A53678But if it be so, why do we hear the bleating of another sort of Cattel?
A53678But if this also as it is in this case be rejected and despised, what remains to set any Bounds unto the Lusts of men?
A53678But if we are always anxious and solicitous about what we do, whether it be accepted with God or no; how do we serve him without fear?
A53678But is this all which we shall have from him or by him?
A53678But it may be enquired, why, if the Law made nothing perfect, it was instituted or given by God himself?
A53678But what do men think of the long- suffering before described?
A53678But what do the Saints themselves as Members of this Body?
A53678But what do we imagine?
A53678But what if Abraham was thus Blessed by Melchisedec, doth this prove that he was less than he by whom he was Blessed?
A53678But what is all this to us?
A53678But what is it that should enduce them hereunto?
A53678But what is this unto the Glory of our High Priest?
A53678But what need was there of two such things?
A53678But what now is become of these Fathers, with all their great Promises and Preachments upon them?
A53678But what shall he say who comes after the King?
A53678But what then shall become of the former?
A53678But whence then was it of necessity that he must have somewhat to offer unto God as our Priest, that is, for us?
A53678But where then would lie the advantage of the Church in his Exaltation, which the Apostle designs in an especial manner to demonstrate?
A53678But whereas that punishment was Death without Mercy, wherein could this exceed it?
A53678But wherefore did the Law make such Priests, men, meer men, that had infirmity, subject to sin and death, so as to put an end unto their Office?
A53678But who can look into, who can comprehend the Glories of those Heavenly Administrations?
A53678But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven, and heaven of heavens can not contain him?
A53678But who would not think that Gods Declaration thereof by the way of Promise, were every way sufficient thereunto?
A53678But why doth the Apostle put an Emphasis upon this, that by these things it was impossible that God should lye, or deceive?
A53678Can they say that from the first day of their coming into their Diocesses or Dignities, or Parishes or Places, they have thus behaved themselves?
A53678Could any man enjoy a moments peace, if he supposed that in his extremity the High Priest might dye?
A53678Cur non dixerit, tantò praestantioris foederis factus est sacerdos Jesus?
A53678Did they overcome meerly by their own Blood?
A53678Do they make Attonement for Sin?
A53678Do we meet with Troubles, Trials, Difficulties, Temptations and Distresses; hath not the Church done so in former Ages?
A53678Do we not think that they are all of them required of us, according unto our measure, and the extent of our employment?
A53678Do we then make void the Law through Faith?
A53678For he offered but once, and at one time; Where then did he thus offer himself and when?
A53678For how can we conceive that the Lord Christ offered for his own infirmities, that is, his sorrows, sufferings, and obnoxiousness unto death?
A53678For how shall he be Tender Compassionate, Careful towards the Souls of others, who knows no Reason why he should be so towards his own?
A53678For if God did never approve of them, never delight in them; unto what end were they Ordained?
A53678For if God should mark Iniquities according unto the Law, who should stand?
A53678For if it will never make Men perfect, to what end doth it serve, or what must do so in the room thereof?
A53678For of him and through him, and to him are all things, to whom be Glory for ever, Amen?
A53678For otherwise unto what end serves the promise and covenant promised?
A53678For unto what purpose should a new Priest of another Order be raised up, to do that which was done before?
A53678For what became of all these Dedicated things after the death of Melchisedec?
A53678For what benefit can any receive from that whose nature and properties he is unacquainted withall?
A53678For what can we properly merit at his hands, whose precedent Bounty we come infinitely short of answering or satisfying, in all that we can do?
A53678For what could any reasonably require further to give them sufficient ground of assurance?
A53678For what could the wisdom of men do in the prefiguration of that mystery, which they had no comprehension of?
A53678For what could they desire more in Reference thereunto, than to enjoy such a gracious earnest of his powerful presence among them?
A53678For what could they require further?
A53678For what did the High Priest do, after he had offered the Anniversary Sacrifice of Expiation unto God?
A53678For what is it possible that things of that kind and nature, which is here described, can contribute unto these ends?
A53678For what is the Offering of real Bread and Wine, and no more, unto the Offering of the Body and Soul of Jesus Christ, under the appearance of them?
A53678For what should it oblige Men unto?
A53678For where is the Glory of the Righteousness or Holiness of God, if impenitent Sinners may be accepted with him?
A53678For who else but God can write the Divine Law in our hearts, and pardon all our sins?
A53678For who hath known the mind of the Lord, or who hath been his Counsellor?
A53678For who was it that called them to these Duties, and on what account?
A53678From whom should now the promised Seed be expected to proceed and spring?
A53678Had he this Design?
A53678Have others more Power in these things than he, so as it is adviseable on that Account to make our Application unto them?
A53678Have they so taught, so preached, so warned, and that with Tears, night and day all sorts of persons, whom they suppose themselves to relate unto?
A53678He was offered 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 to bear the sins of many; When did he do it?
A53678Hence are those cries of such Persons; what shall we do to be saved?
A53678Hereon it might be well enquired, To what purpose then were they appointed?
A53678Hereon, the Enquiry will be, how these things are said to be purified?
A53678How did he do it?
A53678How did they admire the condescension of God of old, in his dwelling in the Tabernacle and Temple by the glorious signs of his presence?
A53678How did this day approach?
A53678How eminent was the divine wisdom of the Holy Ghost, in the structure and order of this Tabernacle?
A53678How express, how multiplyed are his Commands for good works, and our abounding in them?
A53678How glorious art thou in the ways of thy grace towards poor sinful Creatures, who had destroyed themselves?
A53678How glorious should this be in our eyes?
A53678How innumerable are the Temptations which every individual Believer is exposed unto, each of them in its own nature ruinous and pernitious?
A53678How is Christ then made a Priest according to the Power of an endless Life?
A53678How is it that you discern not the Signs of the times?
A53678How it did approach?
A53678How many things have we had made Sacred which never had warranty from any Institution of God?
A53678How many times were that whole people, the posterity of Abraham, at the very brink of Destruction?
A53678How shall not the Administration of the Spirit be rather Glorious?
A53678How shall they escape who neglect so great Salvation?
A53678How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation?
A53678How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation?
A53678How then was this Declaration made, how came it to be known?
A53678How unquestionable, how perfect must the Atonement be that was thus made, how glorious the Redemption that was procured thereby?
A53678How unspeakable are our Obligations unto Faith and Love?
A53678How was it with mankind in this matter?
A53678I confess I can not but admire to think, what some men conceive concerning him or themselves?
A53678I say then have they stumbled, that they should fall?
A53678If God will have some of the Sons of Abraham to pay Tithes, and some to receive them, is there any Ground of Complaint?
A53678If now he should not do so, would he not be unrighteous, must he not deny himself, and not remember his Promise?
A53678If that note of negations be allowed, the words are to be read by way of Interrogation; would they not have ceased to be offered?
A53678If then it be demanded, When God thus sware unto Christ?
A53678If they could at any time have perfected the Worshippers, they would have ceased to be offered; for unto what end should that continuance serve?
A53678Is it because he was Originally in himself, more Wise and Honourable than any of the Sons of Men?
A53678Is it not God and that according unto the Tenour of the Covenant of Grace?
A53678Is it not manifest that this Priesthood and these sacrifices, could never of themselves expiate sin, nor make perfect them that came to God by them?
A53678Is it not probable that they were oft- times ready to say, where is the Promise of his coming?
A53678Is it not reasonable it should be so, after all the hardships and miseries which he, being the Son of God, underwent in this world?
A53678Is it not therefore highly incumbent on them, to satisfie themselves herein that Christ is able to save them in the exercise of this Office?
A53678Is it not to give us our Trial in the use of means as to what shall be our future condition?
A53678Is it that he attained this Dignity and Greatness, by his own Industry and Endeavours?
A53678Is not this to suppose him severe, angry, always displeased, ready to take advantage, one whom nothing will satisfie?
A53678Is the Law then against the Promises of God?
A53678Is there another way for us to go to Heaven than what was prescribed unto the Primitive Believers?
A53678It is said if Christ was God himself, how could he offer himself unto God?
A53678It will be said then, Unto what end did they serve?
A53678Lift up your heads, know your Salvation is nigh at hand; what manner of persons ought we to be?
A53678Man that is Born of a Woman is the Description of every Man; what therefore can be intended?
A53678May he not do with his own what he pleaseth?
A53678May not God do what he will with his own?
A53678Must he not needs be absolutely prevalent in all he ayms at?
A53678No, by no means, he offered not himself on the Earth; how then did he offer for himself on the earth?
A53678O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy Name in all the Earth?
A53678Of what sort are they whom we see seduced every day?
A53678Of whom shall he be thus seen?
A53678One view of the Glory of this Mystery, how satisfactory is it unto the souls of Believers?
A53678Or are they the Kings or Prophets of the Church: or under what Name or Title is this Power intrusted with them?
A53678Or where is any one word spoken of their Power or Interest in Heaven unto that Purpose?
A53678Our Fathers where are they?
A53678Shall we continue in Sin, saith our Apostle, that Grace may abound?
A53678So Solomon expressed it in his Prayer at the dedication of the Temple, But will God indeed dwell on the earth?
A53678That he will not in due time ingage his omnipotent Power and infinite Wisdom in the discharge of his Truth and Faithfulness?
A53678That the degree of its exceeding that punishment is inexpressible: Of how much sorer?
A53678The Promise being given, there seems to have been no need of it, why then was it added to it at that season?
A53678The Second is, how or in what sence one may be said to do any thing in another, which may be reckoned or imputed unto him?
A53678The Syriack Translation proposeth these words in the way of an Interrogation, Will you again lay another Foundation?
A53678The evidence of the inference which he makes; for this is such as he referrs it unto themselves to judge upon, suppose ye- shall be thought worthy?
A53678The first whereof is, whether Christ himself may not as well as Levi be said to pay Tithes in Abraham, as being in his Loyns?
A53678Then he offered himself twice?
A53678They are not such things as are too earnestly to be desired, for who knows what will be the end of them?
A53678This is expressed in answer unto that enquiry of the blessed Virgin, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
A53678To abound expresseth the largest comprehensible Measures and Degrees; But that which doth more than abound, who can conceive?
A53678To what end serve these Sacrifices, if they could not take away Sin?
A53678To what purpose then should there be any more Offerings for Sin?
A53678To whom shall he thus appear?
A53678Unto what end did they serve?
A53678VVas it not he who hath Mercy on whom he will have Mercy, and is Gracious unto whom he will be Gracious?
A53678Was any one true Believer lost for ever?
A53678Was this spirit in our Apostle?
A53678We shall but foolishly deceive our selves with such Imaginations?
A53678Were our cause intrusted in any other hand; what security could we have that it should not miscarry?
A53678What Evidence and Token of this great work is there given unto the World?
A53678What Love, what Grace, what Mercy may we not expect from him?
A53678What Provision of Instruction for the present and future use of the Church, was laid up and stored in them?
A53678What but infinite wisdom and praescience could order things so in their typical signification?
A53678What could not this Priest prevail for in his Interposition on our behalf?
A53678What day it is, that is intended?
A53678What do we think of those days wherein Prisons, Tortures, Swords and Flames were the Portion of the Church all the world over?
A53678What do you think in your own hearts will be the Judgment of God concerning these sinners?
A53678What else means their Prohibition of the People from reading the Scripture in a Language they understand?
A53678What heart can conceive, what tongue can express the Wisdom, Grace and Love that is contained therein?
A53678What if God will take this way of procedure, and give no reason of it?
A53678What injury is done him by Apostates from the Gospel?
A53678What is it to hold fast this profession?
A53678What is it to serve the living God?
A53678What is meant by holding it fast?
A53678What is meant by the Profession of our Faith?
A53678What is the Effect of this fiery indignation against those adversaries?
A53678What is this fire?
A53678What mean those other Priests and reiterated Sacrifices which make up the Worship of the Church of Rome?
A53678What shall be the end of them who obey not the Gospel?
A53678What shall we render unto him?
A53678What sin, or whose sins could it not expiate?
A53678What to hold it fast without wavering?
A53678What was the condition with the Faith of the best of men when the Lord Christ was in the Grave?
A53678What will some say, to depend on the Wills and Love of the People there is nothing more base and unworthy?
A53678When men said unto David, Where is now thy God?
A53678When their thoughts are thus limited unto Christ alone, their next enquiry is, how shall this man save us?
A53678Where is it said of any Saints or Angels, or all of them together, that they are able to save to the utmost all that come to God by them?
A53678Where is the Equality, Equity, and Righteousness if it were otherwise?
A53678Where is the promise of his coming?
A53678Where then and when did he offer for himself?
A53678Wherefore then serveth the Law?
A53678Wherein then doth this Glory consist?
A53678Whether this Commination may be extended to all Ages, Times, and Seasons?
A53678Who can conceive that Christ by his Death, should procure the Agreement between God and him, that he should dye?
A53678Who can expect that he should any longer condescend unto Office and Duty?
A53678Who can express or limit the Sovereignty of God over his Creatures?
A53678Who can expresse the opposition that continues to be made unto this work of compleating the Salvation of Believers?
A53678Who made the most Glorious Apostle of the first and fiercest Persecutor?
A53678Who now can see any beauty, any glory in the Old Temple Administrations should they be revived?
A53678Who would venture a suprizal unto his own soul in such a condition?
A53678Why did he oblige the People unto their observance?
A53678Why look ye so on us, as though by our own Power and Holiness we made this man walk?
A53678Why should God look after such Fugitives any more?
A53678Why then, it will be said, did God appoint and ordain them?
A53678Will God indeed dwell on the earth?
A53678Will I eat the flesh of Bulls, or drink the blood of Goats?
A53678Will they not rest in the Oath of God, who in doubtful cases do and will acquiesce in the Oaths of men?
A53678Wilt thou know, or knowest thou not, O vain man, that Faith without works is dead?
A53678Yea, but what if all the Honour that Jesus Christ himself hath, or accepts from his People, proceeds from their Wills and Affections?
A53678Yet is this here expresly assigned unto his Blood; How much more shall the Blood of Christ purge your Consciences from dead works?
A53678and hath he not therein promised to accept their Persons and their Duties by Jesus Christ?
A53678and the Prophets do they Live for ever?
A53678and what is this indignation of it?
A53678are not Faith and they equally Acts of Obedience in us?
A53678are not Faith and they equally required by the Gospel?
A53678at least in the same kind, though Faith on some considerations may have the pre- eminence?
A53678behold, the heaven, and heaven of heavens can not contain thee: how much less this house that I have builded?
A53678do we make void the Law by Faith?
A53678doth not God require perfect Righteousness of us?
A53678how unsearchable are his Judgements, and his Ways past finding out?
A53678or that, whereas both concur unto the doing of Good or Evil, the Soul only should be rewarded or punished?
A53678or were delivered by their own Power?
A53678or what is become of thy Religion and Profession, thy pretended Trust in God?
A53678or whether it were confined unto the present state of the Hebrews, with the circumstances they were in?
A53678the Righteousness which the Law originally prescribed?
A53678what Power is able to conflict and conquer the remaining strength of Sin, the opposition of Sathan and the World?
A53678what benefit in the promises of the Covenant?
A53678what created Understanding could ever have raised it self unto a thought, that the Eternal Word should be made Flesh?
A53678what is the duty of the Church concerning such an one?
A53678what way could be more suited unto their Peace and Consolation?
A53678whence then can any just cause of despondence in any Trials or Temptations arise?
A53678who am I then, that I should build him an house, save onely to burn sacrifice before him?
A53678who are we that we should dispute against God?
A53678whom makest thou thy self to be?
A53678why may they not be supposed to have an equal influence into our Justification?
A53678〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 wherefore, ad quid, to what purpose?
A5373711. should pass over the Prince and his Office in silence, on which all the rest were to depend?
A5373713. p. 172, 173,& c. Again; Doth he manage the Arguments of the Jews against Christianity as was done by Celsus?
A5373726?
A53737Again, What though we received the Gospell from Rome?
A53737An passim sequerer corvum?
A53737And 1. who taught you to make your apprehensions the measure of other mens faith and practice?
A53737And Cui Bono?
A53737And are you not a fair Advocate for your Cause, and well meet for the reproving of others for not consenting unto them?
A53737And are you, like Sampson, content to pull down the house that must fall upon your selves also, so that you may stifle Protestants with its sall?
A53737And do not you your self know all this to be true?
A53737And do you find so much sweetness in, Delus an Virtus?
A53737And do you not speak to this purpose in twenty other places?
A53737And do you think indeed that this Episcopacy of Peter, distinct from his Apostleship, is a meet stone to be layed in the foundation of faith?
A53737And do you think meet to talk at this rate?
A53737And hath not the Papacy felt the fruits and effects of these Principles, in the writings of Kings, Princes, Noblemen, and Gentlemen, of all sorts?
A53737And he sayes of himself that he was 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, doth he intend that he was Christs Sacrificer?
A53737And if they are absolutely incorporeal and invisible, how can an Image be made of them?
A53737And is it ingenuous to insist on contrary insinuations?
A53737And is it not a fine business to talk of seeing the face of God, which shone forth in Christ, in a carved image or a painted figure?
A53737And is it not hence evident that all the power which you grant unto Kings, is meerly precarious, which they hold of your Pope as Tenants at will?
A53737And is it not plain from hence, that you exclude the Lord Christ from being that head of his Church which he was in former dayes?
A53737And is not this a brave business to impose on the Consciences of all men, when you know not your selves what it is that you would so impose?
A53737And is there not still the same reason for it as there was at first?
A53737And to whom do you speak?
A53737And was the Bible, Psalms, or Christian Lyturgie then put into Vulgar Tongues, when those they were first written in, ceased to be Vulgar?
A53737And we ask you what Church you mean, and how far you intend that it is infallible?
A53737And what are you, or what have you done for them that you should at once expect such a profuse largeness at their hands?
A53737And what course do you your self proceed in?
A53737And what do you think of this Doctrine and Practise of your Church?
A53737And what ensued hereupon in the Church its self?
A53737And what is all this to your Images that give us the shape and form of a man, and of what individual person neither you nor we know?
A53737And what is it that you would prove hereby?
A53737And what was the reason of their so doing?
A53737And what was the success of this zeal?
A53737And what way would you proceed by for his Conviction?
A53737And what were the Miracles themselves they boasted of?
A53737And what will you then get by your trumphing over us?
A53737And whether he hath not a right even to destroy Kings themselves, who will not be his Executioners in destroying of others?
A53737And who gave you leave to suppose the only thing in Question between us, and to use it as a medium to educe your Conclusion from?
A53737And who knows not that Syria and Assyria were several Kingdoms, as likewise were the Languages?
A53737And why is not the succession of an Apostle necessary as well as of such a Bishop as you fancie?
A53737And why is this the safest course?
A53737And why may I not plead the Cause of Protestancy, against that imputation of demeric which you heap upon it?
A53737And will you take with you the consent of the Ancients?
A53737Are Idolatry and Heresie the same?
A53737Are not all men naturally blind in the things of God?
A53737Are not many prepossessed with prejudices, traditions, customes and usages against the Truth?
A53737Are not the Arguments you intend, indeed rather for the Eucharist then against it?
A53737Are not these your words?
A53737Are these the Principles of the Church of Rome, or of that of England?
A53737Are these the expressions of Christians, or Pagans?
A53737Are they not these?
A53737Are you not ashamed to boast that you have all Antiquity for your sense and meaning?
A53737Besides do not Lusts, Corruptions, Carnall Interests, and Respect unto Worldly things bear sway sin the minds of many that profess Christian Religion?
A53737But Sir, is this to be in earnest or jest?
A53737But Sir, pray what serves the Scripture for all this while?
A53737But are you not ashamed of this trifling?
A53737But are you of the same mind?
A53737But have these noisome Heresies of your Church, think you, passed without controll?
A53737But how comes this about?
A53737But how do you prove that I fell into such a mistake?
A53737But if any should say, Why do our images work no miracles?
A53737But must I therefore be Celsus?
A53737But of what sort, by whom used, to what end?
A53737But suppose that Peter was thus a Prince, Monarch, Apostle, Bishop, that is, a Catholick, Particular Officer, What is that to you?
A53737But that we may proceed; Let us suppose this also, that Peter was at Rome, and preached the Gospel there, What will thence follow unto your advantage?
A53737But to what purpose?
A53737But what do you mean by the conceived substance of Gods Will?
A53737But what do you mean that you no where formally express it?
A53737But what if there be nothing of all this in the pretended menaces?
A53737But what is it that you would from hence conclude?
A53737But what is that to your purpose?
A53737But what need we stay in the confutation of this sigment?
A53737But what now is the End in all this heap of things which you would have mistaken for Reasons, that you aym at?
A53737But what of all this?
A53737But what of all this?
A53737But what say you to Marcellinus?
A53737But where did you ever read any Arguments of ours against the Eucharist?
A53737But who I pray told you that the ● e was the same resason of all the Commands of the 〈 ◊ 〉 Table?
A53737But who gave you warrant or leave so to set them?
A53737But who told you so?
A53737But who told you that your images represent the things mentioned by the Apostle?
A53737But why do you call this a thing of danger only?
A53737But why so I pray?
A53737But why so I pray?
A53737But why so?
A53737But why so?
A53737But you add; Is the picture made by the spectators imagination to represent this or that thing, or the imagination rather guided to it by the picture?
A53737But you adde, that making a distinction of the intrinsick acceptability of works, you say as I say: What is that I pray?
A53737But you speak of the single misdemeanour in faith; but who gave you leave so to restrain your enquiry?
A53737But, why is not the Scripture able to settle men in unquestionable Truth?
A53737But, why then do not all believe the Gospell?
A53737Can none of them inform us what the Customs of your Church are?
A53737Can possibly any man break forth into an higher reflection upon the Wisdom and Love of the Holy God?
A53737Can such a blasphemous thought enter into your heart?
A53737Could I now take any other course to confute these false and impious Assertions, then what I did in the Animadversions?
A53737Did Celsus any such thing to such an end?
A53737Did Elijah deride the Temple at Jerusalem, when he opposed the Priests of Baal?
A53737Did I say that God commanded men to steal?
A53737Did I, doth any Protestant deny, that Gentlemen may have?
A53737Did Peter thus feed the sheep of Christ?
A53737Did S t Peter himself do it?
A53737Did ever any of the Fathers of old, or any in the world before your selves, take this course to plead their interests in any thing they professed?
A53737Did never any man inform you, that one end of preaching the word was to regenerate the whole souls of men, and to beget them anew unto God?
A53737Did not the Saxons do so in Brittany the Francks in Gaule, the Goths and Longobards in Italy, the Vandals in Africk, the Huns in Bannonia?
A53737Did not your self make the calling over of these things necessary, by crying out against Protestants, for want of moderation?
A53737Did the Pope first find it out?
A53737Did they not do so?
A53737Did this practise escape uncontrolled?
A53737Did those that came from Rome teach them to do that which they judged their duty not to do?
A53737Did you never read of any opposition made in former dayes unto your pretended Papal Power?
A53737Do I compare you with Celsus, or do I make you to be Celsus?
A53737Do I not direct you unto Authors of unquestionable credit complaining of the things which I report from them?
A53737Do I say any thing but what the stories of all Ages, and the Experience of Christendome do proclaim?
A53737Do any men in their wits use to say this fall was by Heresie, though all agree it was by Idolatry?
A53737Do not the best of men know only in part?
A53737Do not the same Laws which assert the order you mention, exclude that which you would introduce?
A53737Do we deny they ought to improve their reason, in being conversant about it?
A53737Do we disallow or forbid them any means, that may tend to their furtherance in the knowledge and profession of Religion?
A53737Do we hinder or disswade them from any Studies, or the use of Books, that may encrease their knowledge, and improve their reason?
A53737Do we not press them unto these things, as their principall duty in this world?
A53737Do we not say, they ought to have their sense in Religion, and their senses exercised therein?
A53737Do you abide in the same faith?
A53737Do you believe that they give you the shape and likeness of Angels?
A53737Do you consider what you say?
A53737Do you intend any other likeness or similitude?
A53737Do you know whose Objections these are, and by whom they have been lately mannaged?
A53737Do you not ayme at our quiet submission to the determinations of the Church or Pope in all matters of Religion?
A53737Do you not see the fondness of your pretension?
A53737Do you see from whence proceeded all the priviledges of the Roman throne?
A53737Do you see what a Quagmire you are building upon?
A53737Do you think a man can easily commence per saltum, from the imaginary Principality of Peter unto the Infallibility of the present Pope of Rome?
A53737Do you think our condition worse than theirs?
A53737Do you think that all things were well enough amongst them, and that in all things their wayes pleased God?
A53737Do you think the King hath any An ● ority vested in him as King in Ecclesiastical affairs, and over Ecclesiastical Persons?
A53737Do you think to relieve them from the guilt of Idolatry by a company of distinctions, which neither they nor you understand?
A53737Doth Fiat Lux say, you lay the cause of all the troubles, disorders, tumults, warres within the Nations of Europe upon Protestants?
A53737Doth he mention any of these, but such as your Church hath made use of, for the destruction of Protestants?
A53737Doth he succeed him in his power of working Miracles?
A53737Doth he succeed him in the Doctrine that he taught?
A53737Doth he succeed him in the manner of his Call to his Office?
A53737Doth he succeed him in the way and manner of his Personal Discharge of his Office and imployment?
A53737Doth he succeed him in the way and manner of his exercising his Care and Authority towards the Churches of Christ?
A53737Doth not the experience of all Ages, of all places in the world render your Sophistry contemptible?
A53737Doth not your Son Fiat wear this livery?
A53737Estne haec tunica filii tui?
A53737First you ask, What love of Christs dictates, what commission of Christ allows you to choose and reject at your own pleasure?
A53737For how should you do so; shall man be like unto God, or equall unto him?
A53737For to what purpose should any one spend time to debate things, with men absurd and unreasonable, and who will affirm that it is midnight at noon day?
A53737For where, I pray you, lyes its defect?
A53737For why must that needs be the notion of these termes in the division you made, that you now express?
A53737Fur es ait Pedo; Pedius quid?
A53737Had you lost your Fiat, that you make such an outcry after that which in a moment he could have supplyed you withall?
A53737Hath it been opposed, judged, and condemned, or no?
A53737Have you a dispensation to say what you please for the promotion of the Catholick Cause?
A53737Have you not declared your self unto this purpose in your Fiat?
A53737Have you not told us in your Fiat that it is the Church or Pope of Rome?
A53737He asked them saying, Will you also go away?
A53737Hei mihi qualis?
A53737How can any man manifest that he doth any thing by the Commission of another, but by his producing and manifesting his Commission to be his?
A53737How could he be obliged to pass up and down the world in pursuit of his Commission of preaching the Gospel unto all Nations?
A53737How did they succeed afterwards?
A53737How shall it do it?
A53737How should they come in your apprehension to quarrel about that which as you suppose and contend, was somewhile before determined?
A53737How, by what means, from whom should we learn the sense of your Church, if not from your Council of Trent, and such mighty Champions of it?
A53737I adde also, Did not the Gospel come from another place to Rome, as well as to us, or, was it first preached there?
A53737If he speak in Latine, I should know what he sayed; but whence should I know that he spake the Truth?
A53737If it be no other, why do you distinguish it from its self, and prefer it above it self?
A53737If my story be not true, why do you not disprove it?
A53737If so, why do you set up your wisdom built on frivolous Cavils, against the Will, Wisdom, Love and Care of God?
A53737If some other thing, why do you not declare it?
A53737If you have not done so, why do you not disprove his Assertions?
A53737If you have, why have you practised that in the face of the Sun, which you can not endure to be told of?
A53737In the explication of your distinction of congruity and condignity, how wofully are you divided?
A53737Is it actionable with you against a Protestant, that he will not take your whole Sword into his bowels, without complaining?
A53737Is it any one thing, or way, or means, that the hinge upon which his assent turns?
A53737Is it not one of the main suppositions you proceed upon in your whole discourse?
A53737Is it not simply impossible for him to be satisfied at any time that he believes all that is to be believed, or that he holds the Vnity of Faith?
A53737Is it not true?
A53737Is it the D ● ctrine concerning the Will of God delivered in the Scripture, or is it somewhat else?
A53737Is not this to confess plainly that your Images are teachers of Lyes?
A53737Is not your bowing, kneeling, creeping, kissing, offering, singing, praying to the Cross and images notorious?
A53737Is there no truth in all this, and much more that is affirmed to the same purpose?
A53737Is this Practice Catholick, or like many of your Principles; singular, your own, Donatisticall?
A53737Is this fair, sober, Candid Christian dealing?
A53737Is this pretence consistent with your Plea in your Fiat Lux, wherein you labour to reduce them to a naked fanaticall Credo?
A53737Is this the voice of Jacob, or Esau?
A53737Is this, think you, an acceptable service unto the Lord Christ, who will one day judg the secrets of all hearts according unto that Word?
A53737Is your Rule out of St. Paul applicable unto him upon any other account, but that he himself was both the builder and destroyer?
A53737Is your request reasonable?
A53737May not the people have the use of the Scripture, and yet have the Word preached unto them by their Teachers?
A53737May we know what you think in this Case?
A53737Moreover, we desire to know, What Church you mean in your Assertion, or rather what is it that you mean by the Church?
A53737Nay would you not do so, if the errour he charge you withall, be that of the Authority and Infallibility of your Church?
A53737Now I pray tell me what personal subsistences these Cherubims with their various wings and faces did represent?
A53737Now how should a man prove that he doth any thing by the Commission of Christ, but by producing that Commission?
A53737Now what of this kind do you tender unto us?
A53737Now what say you hereunto?
A53737Now, how I pray will you bring him into that state and condition that he may rationally make any such judgement?
A53737Oecumenius is quite blank against you; so is Cajetan, Erasmus, and Vatablus of your own: and do you not now see what is become of your boasting?
A53737Or do you know them, and yet dare to thrust in your scurrility to their exclusion?
A53737Or do you think that truly generous Spirits will stoop to so poor a lure?
A53737Or is it a Complication of many things concurring to the same purpose?
A53737Or is it your interest to court them with fine words, though your intention be far otherwise?
A53737Or what think you of Capernaum, that was lifted up to Heaven, in the priviledge of the means of light granted for a while unto them?
A53737Or would you prove that Bishops by the Law of this Land have a jurisdiction superior unto Ministers?
A53737Pray Sir, what were those Tables that were written by Moses, when those written by God were broken?
A53737Pray how many thousand years is it think you since Christs birth, now this year 1663.?
A53737Quid Pape cum Petro?
A53737Quis tulerit Graculos de seditione querentes?
A53737Sed cur ergo omnes non credunt Evangelio?
A53737Sed unde quaeso hanc sibi Authoritatem vindicavit?
A53737Seriously Sir, I wonder where you got this Quotation out of Tertullian?
A53737Should a man look on the Cherubims as Images of Angels, would not the first thing they would teach him be a ley?
A53737So saith Theophylact on the place; 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉?
A53737Speak plainly, do you renounce all adoration and worship of Images?
A53737St. Paul tells us that the Magistrate is 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉; doth he mean that he is Gods Sacrificer?
A53737Suppose one Question could not be answered, doth it necessarily follow that another can not?
A53737Take heed that in your Answer, you deny not some Principle that will involve the whole interest of Christianity in its ruine: Where is the defect?
A53737That ever is your own addition, but let it pass; what say you hereunto?
A53737That they who after Papal decisions remain cont ● nacious forfeit their Christianity?
A53737The Church of Judah was once a pure Church in the dayes of David; how came she then to fall?
A53737The Inquisitor lays hold upon them, and bids them be contented with a Rosary, or our Ladies Psalter?
A53737The Scripture is ours, and Christ is ours, and what have any else to do with them?
A53737Then say you, is he such an Head to all Belivers or no?
A53737These things are without the verge of Christian Religion; 〈 ◊ 〉 Towers and Palaces in the ayr: But what must S t Peter be succeeded in?
A53737This Principle I suppose you grant to be true; do you not?
A53737This you have culled out, as supposing your self able to say something unto it; and what is it?
A53737To what purpose?
A53737To which you reply, and, when then for example is Christ crucified rightly and duly represented?
A53737To whom, and for whose instruction were those Epistles of Paul written?
A53737Unto which you reply; But what is that Religion?
A53737Was any occasion offered you to discourse upon that Question?
A53737Was it because he dyed at Rome?
A53737Was it infallible when it made the golden Calf, and danced about it proclaiming a feast unto Jebovah before the Calf?
A53737Was she not judged, censured, written against, and condemned in the person of her chief Pastor?
A53737Was the Bible say you put into other vulgar tongues when they ceased to be vulgar?
A53737Was this Principle pleaded or once asserted in any of the Antient Councels?
A53737Was this quite out of your mind?
A53737We desire then to know when it became the only or absolutely Catholick Church of Christ: As also( secondly) by what means it became so to be?
A53737Were Princes more silent then Synods?
A53737Were they not to the Churches of those dayes?
A53737What course should we now take?
A53737What do you intend by resigning our selves to humility and Peace?
A53737What do you mean Sir by theirs?
A53737What do you mean by alone of its self?
A53737What do you mean by figure or similitude that the true God had allowed his people?
A53737What do you speak to me of Earthquakes?
A53737What expression giving countenance unto this severity?
A53737What ground have you for this intemperate railing?
A53737What have 〈 ◊ 〉 phets and Teachers to do with Sacrifice?
A53737What in sadness do you think might be the cause of that dispensation of his Providence?
A53737What instance can you give of any thing of this nature?
A53737What is I pray?
A53737What may those whom you proclaim to be your enemies expect from you, when you deal thus severely with those whom you give out to be your friends?
A53737What plead you 〈 … 〉 your Vindication?
A53737What say you now to these things?
A53737What shall wee say unto the Gentiles?
A53737What stuff is this?
A53737What then?
A53737What think you of Jerusalem, where Christ himself and his twelve Apostles all of them preached the Gospel?
A53737What think you of Liberius, did he not subscribe to Arianism?
A53737What think you of these words?
A53737What think you of those that were converted by Arians, which were great multitudes, and some whole Nations?
A53737What will hence follow?
A53737What will thence ensue?
A53737What would you make of them?
A53737What wrath is in all this?
A53737When any thing is proposed unto you concerning Religion, do you not think upon it?
A53737Where do you think you are, that you talk at this rate?
A53737Where does Fiat Lux, where does, does he, does he, any such thing?
A53737Wherein then doth this Succession consist that you talk of?
A53737Whether you do not collude with us, or indeed do at all think as you speak?
A53737Whether you forgot not your self when you place Aaron and Joshuah in government together?
A53737Whether you really believe, that the Pope hath Power only to perswade in matters of Religion as you pretend?
A53737Who doubts it, but men may if they will, if they have a mind to do so?
A53737Who is it amongst us that derides the Church of Christ?
A53737Whom do you understand by that Superiour Judicative Power, unto whom you perswade all Parties to submit?
A53737Why do you conclude, that your Query is not answered?
A53737Why do you not plainly say what it is more then manifest you would have?
A53737Why was it not needfull that Paul should have a successor as well as Peter?
A53737Will it afford a man no Light, no Guidance, no Direction?
A53737Will not a man who hears you proving the Authority of your Church by the Scripture, ask you, And whence hath this Scripture its Authority?
A53737Will they judge it meet and equal think you to change a blessed Sacrament that Christ hath appointed, to embrace a Sacrifice that you have invented?
A53737Will you give me leave to guess?
A53737Will you hear what Chrysostome answers?
A53737Will you perswade him that you are the Church, and that the Church is furnished with the Authority mentioned, by rational Arguments?
A53737Will you therefore be pleased to hear your self talk you know not what in this matter once more?
A53737Would you knew where to begin and where to end?
A53737Would you not produce Testimonies of Scripture, with Arguments drawn from them, and the Suffrage of the Fathers to the same purpose?
A53737Yea is not your judgement which you so make, the assent or dissent of your mind?
A53737You adde, What Heretick was ever so much a fool as not to pretend the Love of Christ, and Commission of Christ for what he did?
A53737You adde; Doth he charge Protestants that by their schisms and seditions they make way for other revolts?
A53737You deny it hath been proved, why do you not then disprove it?
A53737You say, Did she fall by Heresie in adhering to any errour in Faith, contrary to the approved doctrine of the Church?
A53737Your reply unto them is, not a grain of virtue or Goodness we must think in so many Christian Kingdoms and Ages: But why must you think so?
A53737and John as well as either of them?
A53737and should they not appear to do so, were his force, wit and courage answerable to his will and pretence of Authority?
A53737and therefore certainly a shrewd impeachment of his Infallibility: and was he not judged for it?
A53737and whither the propositions wherein it is made unto you are true or false?
A53737and why may not we possibly by piece meale?
A53737appointed that there should be any such succession; who, that the Bishop of Rome should be this Successor, Did Jesus Christ do it?
A53737are you one of those that can tell what figures represent or not?
A53737as also in the application of it?
A53737by Apostasie Heresie, or Schisme?
A53737can no man govern in any sense or place but he must be a supream Head?
A53737can you enable him to believe Contradictions at the same time?
A53737did image worship presently prevail upon their determinations?
A53737did you never read your Tridentine Decree, or the Nicene Canons commended by them?
A53737do not I say s ● too?
A53737do not all your writers to this day complain of this opposition made unto you by Photius?
A53737do you charge the Prelate Protestant with building up what others had pulled down, or what he had destroyed himself?
A53737do you not call to mind the Rule and measure whereby you are to make a judgement, whither they be so or no?
A53737do you not consider whither the thing it self be good or evil?
A53737doth he charge the Protestants that by their schisms and seditions, they make a way for other revolts?
A53737doth he gather a Rhapsody of insignificant words?
A53737doth he insist upon their divisions?
A53737doth he mannage the Arguments of the jews against Christ,& c?
A53737doth it therefore follow, that we received all the Doctrines of the present Church of Rome at the same time?
A53737doth not your practice speak it?
A53737doth this disprove my Assertion?
A53737from no Kings, no Princes, no Bishops, no parts of Christendom?
A53737from whose quiver are these arrows taken?
A53737had it not been better to have had one still residing in the Church, of whose Infallibility there could have been no doubt or question?
A53737has it ever done it?
A53737hath no Council amongst you determined it?
A53737hath no man alive such thoughts?
A53737have not the different tempers, constitutions, and Educations of men, a great influence upon their understandings and judgements?
A53737have you no Tradition amongst you that you plead for the Adoration of Images?
A53737have you no regard how you jumble contradictions together, so you may make a shew of saying something?
A53737have you no way to defend the Authority of your Church, but by Questioning the Authority of the Scripture?
A53737have you not denyed it in the words last mentioned?
A53737his Episcopacy and what therewithall?
A53737if he be so to all, you say, then no man is to be governed in Affairs of Religion by any other man: But why so I pray?
A53737if it be, why do you exclaim against it?
A53737if the Apostles used the Sacrifice you talk of, that of the Mass, is it meet we should do so also?
A53737is it not of more then danger, even expresly sinfull?
A53737is not the adoration of Images asserted an hundred times expresly in it?
A53737is such an apprehension suitable to the Goodness, Mercy, Love and faithfulness of God?
A53737is that the Doctrine of your Church?
A53737is there any tendency in your Discourse towards any such purpose?
A53737may not a Judge have his Commission from the King, because some have counterfeited the great Seal?
A53737may not men be warned to take heed of falling into the like evils by the miscarriages of them that went before them without wrath and defamation?
A53737may not others do a thing really upon such grounds as some pretend to do them on falsly?
A53737may they do so upon the same or as good grounds and reasons as they reject errours and false worship for the sake of Christ?
A53737none at all?
A53737or did they publish it in the name of the Pope?
A53737or do you conceive, there is a conceived substance of Gods Will that is taught, or may be by men, better then by God himself?
A53737or do you not rather think that the Catholick Church was belyed and abused by the Synod?
A53737or do you think that he hath such power and Authority to make, constitute or appoint Laws with penal Sanctions in and about things Ecclesiastical?
A53737or his Minister?
A53737or his Servant?
A53737or in the dayes of Jeroboam, when it sacrificed before the Calves at Dan and Bethel?
A53737or that if they may be so, that he is not the only immediate King and supream Head unto them all?
A53737or to travail up and down as the necessity of the Churches did require?
A53737or was that then the faith of the generality of the Church of Christ, which was declared by the fathers of that Convention?
A53737or were they free upon the discovery of their mistake to esteem the whole Gospel a Romance?
A53737or what course do you take?
A53737or what would you make of the Apostle to write things for the standing use of the Church, wherein so few were like to be concerned?
A53737or when they preferred the worship of the Queen of Heaven before that of the God of Abraham?
A53737or will you deny that to be your intention?
A53737or, Is it not really to expose Christian Religion to scorn and contempt?
A53737p. 65. and if so; from what Topicks he takes the Whips, Wires and Racks that he makes use of in his Inquisition?
A53737quis in hoste requirat, as to cast off all Reverence of God and his Word, in the pursuit of the supposed Adversaries of your earthly Interests?
A53737quod si& hoc scirem, num& ab ill ● scirem?
A53737should I know this also from him?
A53737that Christ is the only absolute Head of the Catholick Church?
A53737they may do so Physically, but may they do so Morally?
A53737to all, the whole body in general, and every individual member thereof in particular?
A53737to what purpose serves this fictitious Episcopacy?
A53737was the same Church afterward Infallible in the dayes of the Judges, when it worshipped Baalim and Aftaroth?
A53737were you awake when you wrote these things?
A53737what and how many are those Persons, and where did they live?
A53737what relation is there between the one and other?
A53737what, towards the settlement of any man in Religion, or bringing us unto the Unity of faith, the things enquired after?
A53737where is the least intimation given of any such thing in the Scripture?
A53737where is the proof of what you averre?
A53737where or by whom is it expresly asserted amongst the Antient Writers of the Church?
A53737where the hinderance, why all men upon these Principles however differing at present, may not come to a full Settlement and Agreement?
A53737who ever went about to deny it?
A53737who induceth you thereunto?
A53737who made you judges of what is necessary, and what is not necessary for the Church of Christ, when himself is silent?
A53737why then do you deal sophistically in using the same expression to denote diverse things?
A53737why was it not needfull that one should succeed him in his Apostleship?
A53737will it advantage your Cause what way ever that problem be determined?
A53737would you have a man to do so, who never before heard of Pope or Church?
A53737would you have us believe you at the first word without further triall or examination?
A53737— quantum mutatur ab illa?
A5369614.1, 2. and then turning unto God he saith, And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, regard such a poor frail perishing creature?
A5369616. was ever designed for this End, to enable them the more easily to obtain the Remission of sins by another means which they use?
A5369663.2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Who should this work more become, or belong unto than him, who was persecuted and opposed by them?
A53696A living head and dead members, a beautiful head and rotten members, how uncomely would it be?
A53696Again, How are they delivered from their Adversaries?
A53696Against whom do they magnifie themselves, and lift up their horns on high?
A53696Alas, what are they if compared to the excellency of this Love of God in Christ Jesus?
A53696And Jacob asked him and said, Tell me I pray thee thy name; and he said, wherefore dost thou ask after my name?
A53696And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, What shall I do unto this people?
A53696And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me?
A53696And are we not miserable if we like not this agreement?
A53696And doth it not directly belong unto his Kingly power?
A53696And for the errour, if the Father and Son be the God- head, how doth one stand in need of the other?
A53696And for what cause or reason?
A53696And how did he entertain this proposal?
A53696And how do they despoil him of his Honor, in taking of from his work?
A53696And how doth he do it, by the mighty word of hispower, as he made all things of old?
A53696And how many more, wise in this world, through the neglect of it, do walk in darkness all their dayes?
A53696And how shall we judge of what we know nothing but from him, but only by what he doth?
A53696And if he created the world, why did not Moses as plainly attribute that unto him, as the Writers of the New Testament do the new Creation?
A53696And if this be despised, is it not righteous that men should perish?
A53696And in what sense shall he be called the Prince of Peace?
A53696And is it not just that such persons should be filled with the fruit of their own ways?
A53696And is it not their duty to whom they are revealed, to do that, which out of love unto them, our Lord Christ Jesus did on their behalf?
A53696And is not this contrary to the Analogie of the Scripture, and the open truth of the thing its self, he being cursed among the Beasts of the Field?
A53696And is the Great and Holy God less to be regarded?
A53696And now Lord, seeing it is thus: Seeing this is the condition of mankind, what is thence to be looked after?
A53696And shall they escape by whom it is despised?
A53696And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
A53696And what Rule of Justice will admit, that the Accessory should be punished with greater Sufferings than the Principal?
A53696And what a madness is it to judge otherwise of that we do no otherwise understand?
A53696And what are the seventy six Miracles of Moses unto those, as to number, which in the first place the Jews glory in?
A53696And what can it then do?
A53696And what could worldly or Satanical Wisdom have imagined otherwise?
A53696And what did he there?
A53696And what is the Dominion of ten thousands of worlds in comparison of this Inheritance?
A53696And what is this life?
A53696And what shall he do that comes after the King?
A53696And what shall we say concerning the most glorious, concerning the Order of them all unto one another, and the whole?
A53696And what should a spiritual Redeemer do unto these men?
A53696And what should they expect from a Messiah that suffered and died?
A53696And whence is it, that he should take thought of us, or set his heart upon us?
A53696And whence is it, that he who made all these things of nothing, should have such regard to the weak, frail nature of man?
A53696And wherein doth our Testimony come short of theirs?
A53696And who can sufficiently admire this Excellency of the Nature of God?
A53696And who shall sit at the Right Hand of God in his Rule over the whole world?
A53696And who should judge Him, if he left him for ever to eat of the fruit of his own wayes, and to be filled with his own devices?
A53696And who will lay any weight upon what is spoken, foretold, or promised concerning him, if the Jews have power to invent another at their pleasure?
A53696And why four?
A53696And will men yet feed themselves with hopes of mercy whilst they neglect the Gospel?
A53696And yet alass, what a little, what a small portion of its Glory, Excellency, Beauty, Riches, is it, that we are able in this world to attain unto?
A53696Are the miseries of man in his labour, or the sorrows of Women in Childbearing taken away?
A53696Are their Persons, or their Services therefore accepted with God?
A53696Are these things to be despised?
A53696Are they acquainted with the state and condition, the Weakness, Temptations, Graces of all the people of Christ?
A53696Are they meet for the Inheritance of the Saints in light?
A53696Are they not all as subject unto Death, as was Adam himself?
A53696Are they not ready to wash themselves in the blood of them who intimate any such thing unto them?
A53696Are they related or united unto Christ?
A53696Are they to be cast aside among the things wherein we are least concerned?
A53696Are they under his conduct unto glory?
A53696Are we afraid of a man that shall die?
A53696Are we not kept from being prevailed against?
A53696Are we to blame if the Jews are not pleased with the wayes of God?
A53696Being obedient therein unto death, the death of the Cross?
A53696Besides, on what account should Hezekiah so eminently be called The Prince of Peace?
A53696Besides, what ground do such men leave unto the Lord Christ to stand upon as it were in his Intercession for us in Heaven?
A53696Besides, when should he make an end of dying?
A53696Besides, who should contrive the way of it, for them?
A53696Bethlehem 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, art thou but little?
A53696But alas, how will they be deceived?
A53696But alas, what can the best and wisest of men attain unto in the investigation of the Wisdom of God?
A53696But are we forsaken?
A53696But do these thoughts suit the Faith, Hope, Prayers, and Expectations of the Church of old?
A53696But doth he do this absolutely, as they are such?
A53696But had he then unfolded the mysteries of the Old Testament to the Hebrews, which was his design?
A53696But how is this to be done, absolutely and immediately as it is the glory of the Father?
A53696But how may it appear that it was the Messiah who should be thus born of a Virgin?
A53696But how shall this be confirmed unto them?
A53696But is this the Glory promised?
A53696But this is now taken from them, and what shall they do?
A53696But what Justice is it that Man should sin, and Angels suffer?
A53696But what Scepter had the House of Judah before?
A53696But what are all these unto this salvation?
A53696But what great matter is in all this?
A53696But what if the word be abused in that place by that Writer?
A53696But what is now become of that Bath Kol also for a thousand six hundred years?
A53696But what is the Reason that Eldad and M ● dad must be thought to prophesie thus concerning Gog?
A53696But what makes the Application of the night of the Passeover to the coming of the Messiah?
A53696But what need all this Enquiry?
A53696But what tended all this to its glory?
A53696But what th ● n shall become of the people?
A53696But what was this to a Scepter and a Law- giver?
A53696But what was this unto the Gospel that he undertook to declare?
A53696But when Divine Wisdom, Goodness, Love, Grace and Mercy shall set themselves at work, what will they not accomplish?
A53696But when Joshua the Son of Nun first saw the Angel, he said, art thou for us, or for our adversaries?
A53696But who told them so?
A53696But why are not the other Ends expressed in the Prophecy, namely, to seal up Vision and Prophecy, and to annoint the Most Holy, here mentioned also?
A53696By what notions of God could we have been instructed in the Wisdom and Righteousness of such a Proceeding?
A53696Can Right Reason, or a Light within, be no otherwise adored, but by sacrificing the blood of Christ unto them?
A53696Can any be assigned but the Sovereign Grace, Pleasure, and Love of God?
A53696Can any thing more fondly be imagined?
A53696Can he profit God as a man profiteth his neighbour?
A53696Can he save others, who it seems could not save himself?
A53696Can they ascend into heaven?
A53696Can they fancy that their Messiah should be more victorious or successfull then Alexander?
A53696Can they pluck the Lord Christ from the Throne of God?
A53696Cast off the works of his hands, and suffer all things to run at random?
A53696Did their Fore- fathers at any time before the Captivity transgress this Orall Law, or did they not?
A53696Do they answer any one Promise of God concerning him?
A53696Do they not all lead us to the contemplation of his Infinite Excellencies?
A53696Do they not dye who never sinned after the similitude of Adams Transgression?
A53696Do they not take that blood out of his hand, which he is carrying into the Holy Place?
A53696Doth any man doubt but that he wrote in Greek, and therefore so rendred her Syriack Expression?
A53696Doth his Goodness extend to him?
A53696Doth it consist in Riches, Honor, Power, Pleasures?
A53696Doth this more easily respect God or man?
A53696Eliezer did so, being his servant, but how could he ascribe unto him the sitting at the Right Hand of God?
A53696First, What are we delivered from by this salvation?
A53696First, What is man as to his extract?
A53696For can we find out the Almighty unto perfection?
A53696For how can any one be said to please, or attone, or reconcile sin?
A53696For if Righteousness may be obtained, and Attonement made without him, to what End serves the Promise concerning him?
A53696For if the Justice of God required that so it should be, how could it be dispensed withall?
A53696For is it not the work of Christ himself, to subdue and conquer his Enemies?
A53696For to what purpose should it be continued, when that was fully effected whereunto it was designed?
A53696For what can be more unjust, than to punish a man, especially eternally, for not doing that which he had no just or sufficient Reason to do?
A53696For what greater Honour can a Creature be more partaker of, than to be emploied in the service of his Creator?
A53696For whence also should it have it?
A53696For who would not love and delight in the eternal fountain of this inconceivable Grace?
A53696Fourthly, There is a punishment intimated upon this sinful neglect of the Gospel; How shall we escape, flie from, or avoid?
A53696From what spring, what fountain should it proceed?
A53696From whom can such men look for their Reward?
A53696Further, where are the Prophets, promised unto them?
A53696Had any other way been possible, why doth the perishing of Angels so inevitably follow the non- assumption of their nature?
A53696Had he the Power of Peace of any sort in his hand?
A53696Had they no Eye of old unto Spiritual and Eternal things in the Promise of the Messiah?
A53696Hast thou Love enough to wash them in thy own Blood, in a Nature to be taken of them?
A53696Hath he any need of him, or his services?
A53696Hath he at any time shut up the Progress of Revelation?
A53696Hath he not already conquered all our enemies?
A53696Hath he not alwayes kept the Church in expectation of new Revelations of his mind and will?
A53696Hath it not been by parts and degrees?
A53696Have not other men done as much or more for their Citizens and People?
A53696Have they Wisdom sufficient to enable them so to do?
A53696Have they found out some other way, or do they utterly give over seeking after Salvation?
A53696Have we not much more reason to be afraid of the Living God?
A53696Have we taken a right measure of what we have received?
A53696He expects a reverence of Praise and Glory for it: and how can we bless him for it, when we know nothing of it?
A53696He it was who pressed with a sense of Gods dereliction cryed out, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A53696He replies, Whence is all this evil come upon us?
A53696Here lies our treasure, here lies our inheritance, why should not our hearts be here also?
A53696Here they reproach him, blaspheme him, despise him, persecute him, shall they escape and go free?
A53696How are all the Nations of the world, as the drop of a bucket, as the dust of the ballance, as Vanity, as Nothing before him?
A53696How are they defended § 6 from their Oppressors?
A53696How astonishable is this his Greatness?
A53696How can God spare sin in his Enemies, who could not spare it on his only Son?
A53696How can they reduce the Creation unto its Original Harmony?
A53696How can we attribute it unto the Wisdom and Greatness of God?
A53696How can we enough bewail that vanity whence it is, that the mind suffereth it self to be possessed and filled with other things?
A53696How could they say; Who hath believed our report, or the Doctrine that we had heard, and taught, concerning this person, or these persons?
A53696How deep, how unfathomable is this fountain?
A53696How do they say, For the iniquity of my people he was stricken, v. 8. Who are they when the people themselves are supposed to speak?
A53696How doth his heart triumph in, and rejoyce over the knowledge he had obtained of Jesus Christ?
A53696How glorious is the Sun in the firmament in comparison of a poor worm in the earth?
A53696How know they that any such Law was given to Moses as they pretend?
A53696How little can our weak understandings apprehend of this Majesty?
A53696How many poor souls otherwise weak and simple, have by this means grown exceeding wise in the Mysterie of God?
A53696How may they triumph in a glorious Prospect of this certain and unavoidable Issue of the Opposition that is made to the Kingdom of their Redeemer?
A53696How poor, how undeservable are we?
A53696How shall escape?
A53696How shall we escape if we neglect?
A53696How should it?
A53696How then doth he ▪ answer what they say?
A53696How then shall it be wrought?
A53696How weak and mean are the conceptions and thoughts of little children about the designs and counsels of the wise men of the earth?
A53696I ask, where?
A53696If as God, how could he be said to be made above the Angels?
A53696If he sin what doth he against him?
A53696If it were incumbent on Paul writing unto the Hebrews, to write in their own Language, why did he not also write in Latin unto the Romans?
A53696If the Covenant of those promises be not expired in the coming of the Messiah, what account can they give of these things?
A53696If the same mind had been in Christ, as was in us, what had been our state and condition unto eternity?
A53696If they are not, how know they but that they may command and appoint them things greatly to their disadvantage, when they think to profit them?
A53696If they like not of these terms, they may let the way of Christ alone; if they will not do so, why do they yet complain?
A53696If they say the former was intended, I desire to know when this promise was accomplished under the second Temple?
A53696Is God unjust?
A53696Is any thing too hard for the Captain of our salvation?
A53696Is he not able to subdue all things by his Power?
A53696Is it a small thing for a Creature to break that Order which God at first placed him and all things in?
A53696Is it because he would?
A53696Is it meet that God should be mocked, his Grace be despised, his Justice violated, his Glory lost, all, that sinners may go unpunished?
A53696Is it not He?
A53696Is it not a foolish thing to look for life, by the death of another?
A53696Is it not also, that they should come to him?
A53696Is it not as nothing in your eyes?
A53696Is it not because it would be very difficult to make any tolerable application of these things unto the season, which is called the time of the End?
A53696Is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?
A53696Is it not just and equal that it should prove a savour of death unto death unto them?
A53696Is it not said, that he shall do so?
A53696Is it nothing unto you that heshould undergo all these things?
A53696Is it one thing that sins, and another that is punished?
A53696Is it reasonable we should attend unto you in this matter?
A53696Is not all pretence of Revelations utterly departed?
A53696Is not the Father Eternal but in the man Christ Jesus?
A53696Is not this plainly to tell him, that they despise his love, scorn his offers of Reconciliation, and fear not in the least what he can do unto them?
A53696Is our Trouble so small, are our Duties so ordinary, that we can wrestle with them, or perform them in our own strength?
A53696Is the Bloud of Christ such a common thing, as to be so cast away upon the lusts of men?
A53696Is the Earth its self freed from the Effects of the Curse?
A53696Is there any other Propertie of the Divine Nature whose consideration will administer unto men any ground of hope?
A53696Is there any thing in the Name of God in that Revelation that he hath made of himself by his Works, or in his Word, to give them encouragement?
A53696Is there no more required unto this delivery, but that he should come to them?
A53696Is this I say the continuance of the Tribe and Scepter of Judah?
A53696Is this only the importance of it, that towards the end of the world, many of them shall be conquered?
A53696Is this that which they desired, prayed for, longed for, esteeming all the Glory of their present Enjoyments as nothing in comparison of it?
A53696Is this the meaning of the Promise given unto Adam?
A53696It is glorious even in the Angels to serve the God of Glory; what is there above this for a creature to aspire unto?
A53696Man it was, concerning whom the words are spoken; What is man?
A53696Many of the People believed on him, and said, when Christ cometh will he do more Miracles then these, which this man doeth?
A53696Men in the neglect of them neglect and refuse their own salvation: and can any man perish more justly than they who refuse to be saved?
A53696Might not he have left us to perish in our condition, and freely enjoyed his own?
A53696More woful than to work out their own Eternal Destruction under the Wrath of Christ, in a business wherein they had no success?
A53696Nay doth not the Scripture in all places fully and plainly witness against it?
A53696Now how can this be obtained, unless we are conversant in our minds about them?
A53696Now saith the Apostle, to which of any of these, or of the rest of them, were these words spoken?
A53696Now this was done by the body of the Jewish Nation; they received him not, they obeyed not his voice, and what was the end of this their disobedience?
A53696Now were the Jews, that is, the body of the people guilty of these sins under the second House?
A53696Now what can not he do who is so?
A53696Now what is man, that this every way all- sufficient God should mind, regard and visit him?
A53696Now what pretence of peace had the Jews under the second Temple wherein all Nations were concerned?
A53696Now what were the sins of this people under the first Temple before their captivity?
A53696Now whereunto doth all this tend?
A53696Now who was fit, who was able to determine upon these different and various Institutions of God, but God himself?
A53696Of Gods appointment it was, and effectual it was unto them that embraced it, and why it should be laid aside who can declare?
A53696One Single Person, More, or All?
A53696Or can there be any greater evidence, that we have no Propriety in them, than that would be, if our hearts should not be set upon them?
A53696Or do we not complain without a cause?
A53696Or if his transgressions be multiplied what doth he against him?
A53696Or, Secondly, An Interrogation must be supposed to be included in the words, art thou but little?
A53696Ought you not to have that in your hearts as well as care of your selves?
A53696Quantum est quod nescimus?
A53696Quid argumentis aliunde conquisi ● s laborat author, cum uno ictu, unica naturae istius divinae mentione rem totam conficere potuisset?
A53696Secondly, Vnto what especial end and purpose doth God make use of the Ministery of Angels for the good of them that believe?
A53696Shall Christ die again that the despisers of the Gospel may be saved?
A53696Shall he die again for them by whom his death hath been despised?
A53696Shall he fore- go the glory of his Righteousn ● ss and Holiness, to please them in their presumption and prejudices?
A53696Shall he leave all things in disorder and confusion?
A53696Shall he obey, and suffer, and bleed, and pray, and die, for a thing of nought?
A53696Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
A53696Shall the Son of God shed his blood in vain?
A53696Shall they alwayes prosper?
A53696Shall we believe the Angel or them?
A53696Shall we faint whilest Jesus Christ lives and reigns?
A53696Shall we go and bow our selves down to the Angels themselves, and pay our homage of Obedience unto them?
A53696Shall we make our selves Judges of what sin against God doth deserve?
A53696Shall we, to avoid the anger of a Worm, cast our selves into his wrath who is a consuming fire?
A53696Should it be brought forth and made effectual?
A53696So that Man hu is as much as, What is it?
A53696So that unto God asking that question, Whom will ye compare unto me, and whom will you liken me unto?
A53696So they have done in all Ages, so they continue to do to this day; and what is the issue?
A53696That is to his disadvantage: If he be righteous what giveth he unto him, or what receiveth he at his hand?
A53696The Father says unto him, Seest thou these poor wretched Creatures, that lie perishing in their bloud, and under the curse?
A53696The Introduction of the Testimony is by way of Interrogation; Vnto which of the Angels said he at any time?
A53696The Lord whom ye seek shall come, but who may abide the day of his coming?
A53696The holy God will do no iniquity: the Judge of all the earth will do right, and will by no means acquit the guilty?
A53696The manner of ascertaining the punishment intimated, is by an Interrogation, How shall we escape?
A53696The utmost of mercy and grace is already sinned against, and what remaineth now for the relief of a sinner?
A53696The words of the former place are, Who is left among you, that saw this house in her first Glory, and how do you see it now?
A53696Their Temple being utterly destroyed as well as their State, and their Messiah not yet come, what think they of their Sacrifices?
A53696Their power issued in the Dominion of the Romans, and their Vassals the Herodians?
A53696They all cry out with one accord, see you do it not, we are your fellow servants: What shall we then do?
A53696They are sufficient indeed in their own way and place, but are they so absolutely also?
A53696They cry, What will nothing turn these poor foolish creatures out of their way?
A53696This saith he, shall not depart from Judah, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 untill David come; and why David?
A53696This the Apostle insinuates in that interrogation, How shall we escape?
A53696This the Prophet intimates, v. 4. Who is there left among you, who saw this House in its first glory, and what do you now see it?
A53696This the intendment of the Promise made unto him, that in his seed all the Nations of the Earth should be blessed?
A53696Thus for the most part the first Question of a Romanist is, How do you know the Scriptures to be the Word of God?
A53696To that whose Greatness we can not measure, whose Nature we can not comprehend, whose Glory we can only stand afar off and adore?
A53696To what end should any man trouble himself, about that which is cast, as a fancy and empty imagination, by its own verdict?
A53696To whom shall the Gentiles be gathered to be saved by him?
A53696Vnto which of the Angels said he at any time?
A53696Was he the Lord of it?
A53696Was it at his disposal?
A53696Was it to be absolutely everlasting?
A53696Was it to expire?
A53696Was the Church in travail for so many Generations to bring forth this Fighter?
A53696Was this done in Italy before it was sent unto the Hebrews?
A53696Was this the End of the Call and Separation of Abraham?
A53696Was this the Expectation of the Fathers of old?
A53696Was this the intent of the Oath made unto David, and of the sure mercies confirmed unto him, and his, thereby?
A53696We ask them then, If Jesus of Nazareth be not the Messiah, where is he?
A53696We see not the depth of that malicious respect which it hath unto God; and are we capable to judge aright of what is its Demerit?
A53696Well let that be granted, what will thence ensue?
A53696Well, if we are unwilling hereunto; What doth the Lord Christ lose by it?
A53696Were they not delivered from former Oppressions and Captivities, by other means?
A53696What Rule of Justice is observed herein?
A53696What all this while is become of the work every where in the Scripture assigned § 32 unto the Messiah?
A53696What beauty or comeliness can he have in him, for which of them he should be desired?
A53696What can be expected from him, who is taken, slain, crucified?
A53696What can be farther desired to render it so, or to provoke us unto it?
A53696What can they do to restore the Vniverse unto its first Glory and Beauty?
A53696What else is able to look through the Unconceivable variety of Aggravating Circumstances which is required hereunto?
A53696What greater condescension love or grace could be conceived or desired?
A53696What greater glory than to stand in the Presence, and to do the Will of the King of Heaven?

A53696What is the formal Reason and Cause of all these things, that he hates, abhors, and will destroy sin and sinners?
A53696What is the meaning of that Plea, that by Sacrifices indeed Remission of sins might more easily be obtained, but obtained it may be without them?
A53696What is the sickness of the body, unto the disease, yea the death of the soul?
A53696What is there in it suitable unto his Righteousness and Holiness?
A53696What is there in us, what is there belonging unto us, that is not suited to abase us?
A53696What is this better state?
A53696What is to be expected?
A53696What period can be assigned unto its duration, but only that of the coming of the Messiah and the establishment of a New Covenant in him?
A53696What promises are given unto them?
A53696What shall now the Governour of all the world do?
A53696What shall we render for them, and to whom?
A53696What shall we say then, is God unjust who inflicteth Vengeance?
A53696What should be the cause and reason hereof?
A53696What should hinder us from betaking our selves unto him continually?
A53696What then is become of their Messiah, who was to come unto them whilest they were so; seeing they were so by their own confession only for his sake?
A53696What then is the cause of the different event and success between them before insisted on?
A53696What then is to be done to prevent this confusion?
A53696What then remains, for the finishing of our course?
A53696What then would he do to his great name?
A53696What though God hath promised that it should be so; that Christ hath undertaken to make it so; What if it be required to be so?
A53696What tolerable Reason can be given for such an accumulation of Names unto God in this place?
A53696What wait I for?
A53696What was the condition of that House in those ten years, and almost half ten times ten years before?
A53696What word is there in the Law, or the Prophets, that they shall not be delivered out of Temporal distresses any other way but by the Messiah?
A53696What would they have poor sinners do in this case?
A53696When did any open their lips, and shake their heads at him, using the words mentioned, v. 7, 8?
A53696When did any part his garments, and cast lots on his vesture, v. 18?
A53696When was he brought to the dust of death, before his last and final dissolution, v. 15?
A53696When was he, or his blood poured forth like water, and all his bones dis- joynted, v. 14?
A53696When were his hands and feet pierced, v. 16?
A53696Whence comes it to pass, that the great promise of it doth utterly fail?
A53696Where is now the Covenant of the Land of Canaan?
A53696Where is the God of Judgement?
A53696Where is the glory of this dispensation?
A53696Where is the protection, the deliverance promised?
A53696Where is the voice of this Oppressor?
A53696Where then shall this poor Creature, so frail in its self, in its Actings, in its Enjoyments, seek for Rest, Consolation and satisfaction?
A53696Wherewith shall we come before the Lord, or appear before the High God?
A53696Who is that cast off unto?
A53696Who not overpowered with prejudice could once imagine any such sense in these words?
A53696Who shall be a Priest after the Order of Melchizedeck?
A53696Who shall be a blessing unto all Nations?

A53696Who was it that denounced death in case he so transgressed?
A53696Who was it that pronounc ● d him miserable, and the world accursed on the account thereof?
A53696Whom is it that they do despise?
A53696Why are they not delivered out of captivity?
A53696Why doth God thus threaten and curse sin and sinners?
A53696Why hath he prepared an Eternity of Vengeance and Torment for them?
A53696Why not restored to their Land according to express Testimonies of the Covenant made with them unto that purpose?
A53696Why should they look out in this case for Relief, seeing they have enough at home to serve their turns?
A53696Why then let them be so; but what are they the better for it?
A53696Will he lose his Crown or Kingdom thereby?
A53696Will it be any real Abatement of his honour or glory?
A53696Will they not suffer God to send his Messiah in his own way, but they must tell him, that it must not be so?
A53696Wilt thou make thy Soul an Offering for their sins?
A53696Would they have God unjust?
A53696Would this become the Righteous Governour of all the world?
A53696Young man, what is here the price of Swine fit for sacrifice?
A53696a Glory so much greater, as to be thus eminently promised and intimated to be brought in with the shaking of Heaven, and Earth, Sea, and dry land?
A53696a vapour that appeareth for a little while: What are the enjoyments of this life?
A53696and by the vulgar Latine, Quid est hoc?
A53696and doth not his Holiness and Justice require that so it should be?
A53696and how can he say unto him, Thou art a Priest?
A53696and is not the same evident concerning our Apostle from the interpretation that he gives of those Hebrew Words?
A53696and lay down thy Life a Ransome for them?
A53696and so the words are rendred by the LXX, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, What is this?
A53696and thy years fail not by Christ?
A53696and who would not believe them?
A53696are they not his, who hath all power in Heaven and Earth committed unto him?
A53696believest thou the prophets?
A53696by whom?
A53696can they name one since the § 7 daies of a John Baptist, whom they owned for a Prophet?
A53696can we by searching find out God?
A53696cause it to cease, render the promise useless?
A53696did he ever declare that he would add no more unto what he had commanded, or make no alteration in what he had instituted?
A53696doth he rest there?
A53696doth the Spirit of the Lord Christ rest upon them, ● o make them of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord?
A53696from the Time of his birth, or from the time of his forming in the Womb?
A53696hath any one amongst them pretended to any such thing, whom the event, and themselves thereon have not discovered to be an Impostor?
A53696hath it not been otherwise with them?
A53696how being a Priest for ever after the order of Melchizedeck, or indeed any one thing mentioned in the Psalm?
A53696how did he like these Conditions?
A53696how mean, how weak, how low, how unworthy are our apprehensions of it?
A53696how much is it, that we know not?
A53696how the sending forth the rod of his power from Sion?
A53696how unsearchable are these springs?
A53696if the time be not yet expired for the coming of the Messiah, why are they not delivered?
A53696if they say it respects God; I desire to know, if he can pardon sin without Sacrifice, why he can not do it as easily as with them?
A53696in what Author?
A53696in what Language was it communicated unto others by them who first received it?
A53696is there none worthy in heaven or earth to undertake this work, and must it cease for ever?
A53696more miserable than to engage in that design, wherein they must necessarily fall and be ruined?
A53696must that give a rule unto its interpretation in all other Writers where it is properly used?
A53696nothing at all; not the least of use or comfort?
A53696or as Job speaks, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 how small is the word that we understand of God?
A53696or from whence should it arise that from their suffering it should be Righteous, that he should go free?
A53696or what Authority would be left unto his Law, when he himself should dissolve the Sanction of it?
A53696or what is he eased of by Sacrifices?
A53696or who is he that came in answer to the Prophecies insisted on?
A53696that it should be in their power to restrain all the promised ● ffects of them from the world?
A53696they render those words, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, Why hidest thou thy face?
A53696this can be of nothing but of that which they are now forced to make use of, for that end and purpose, and what is that?
A53696to what end then was it written in Hebrew, when it was not to be used but in Greek?
A53696unless we dwell in our thoughts and affections upon them?
A53696was it sent in Hebrew before the supposed Translation?
A53696what that its nature is capable of?
A53696what then is become of that Covenant wherein it was promised unto them?
A53696wherefore do ye tempt the Lord?
A53696whose Gospel do they refuse Obedience unto?
A53696whose Ordinances, Laws, Institutions do they contemn?
A53696whose people and servants do they revile and persecute?
A53696why God should thus bruise him, and put him to grief?
A53696§ 31 But do these things answer the Promises made concerning him from the foundation of the world?
A53696§ 4 What is man that thou art mindful of him, or the Son of man that thou visitest him?
A53696〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 What is thy name?
A53696〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉( which they interpret, and Israel shall gather wealth, or substance) fulfilled?
A53696〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, What is man that thou shouldst magnifie him, that thou shouldst set thine heart upon him?
A53696〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, Why takest thou away the Majesty of thy glory?
A53696〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, shall their unbelief make the faith of God of none effect?
A53696〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉; If the flesh s ● n without the spirit, why is the soul punished?
A53696〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉; do we make the Law void by faith?
A537211. how much more will he do so, who being often invited unto Peace with God, yet hardeneth his heart, and refuseth to treat with him?
A5372111. what do the Saints hereupon?
A5372116. not make haste; to what?
A5372118. Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity?
A5372124. cry out, when he was deprived of them?
A53721A man professeth that the death of Christ will mortifie sin, and subdue corruption; Why doth he believe it?
A53721After what?
A53721Ah how many Laodicean Churches have we in the World?
A53721Ah poor worms, with whom have we to do?
A53721Ah saith the soul, Whither shall I cause my sorrow to go?
A53721Ah, saith the soul, have I thus requited the wonderful astonishing Love of my Redeemer?
A53721Alas, what strangers for the most part are men now adayes to this frame?
A53721And are they accepted with God?
A53721And by the Apostle; Is God unjust who taketh vengeance?
A53721And by what means it hath been declared unto you?
A53721And doth he not in them, and by them speak us into a Reverence of his Greatness?
A53721And for us who have in this matter to do with God, what is our continuance unto that of the world?
A53721And for your duties you mention, what I pray is the root and spring of them?
A53721And hast thou thus requited my love?
A53721And have I failed them?
A53721And have you considered what it is for sinners, such sinners as you are, to have to deal with a Righteous and a holy God?
A53721And have your hearts leaped within you with the thoughts of it?
A53721And how could his delight be with the Sons of men?
A53721And how do we behold this glory?
A53721And how is it in this case?
A53721And how small a portion is it that we know of God?
A53721And if he be somewhat disquieted, can he not contain himself, but that he must roar, and cry out?
A53721And if we deal so with God what is there in our so doing, praise worthy?
A53721And indeed what can be more righteous than its sentence?
A53721And is not the reason of it, that we value the world more, and Heaven and heavenly things less than he did?
A53721And shall he be refused by you?
A53721And shall it now be neglected or despised by you?
A53721And shall not we be instructed by him?
A53721And shall not we now be made partakers of it?
A53721And shall the soul be slothful, careless, dull, secure, when fire is put to its eternal concernments?
A53721And shall this fail us?
A53721And shall we think that such as these believe forgiveness of sin?
A53721And to what end doth God at any time make these seemingly dubious intimations of Grace and Mercy?
A53721And to what end hat he thus spared us, and let pass those Advantages for our destruction, that we have put into his hand?
A53721And to what end is this?
A53721And to what end?
A53721And what Effects have these thoughts produced?
A53721And what Reason have they then to believe that the things which it speaks of that are without them, are one jot better?
A53721And what are we poor worms, whose lives are measured by inches in comparison of their span?
A53721And what are we, that we should contend about it with him?
A53721And what can not the Wisdom and Grace of the Father and Son effect and accomplish?
A53721And what could God that can not lye, do more, to give us satisfaction herein than he hath done?
A53721And what course doth he steer in this heavy, sorrowful, and disconsolate condition?
A53721And what course doth he take to convince them of their mistake therein?
A53721And what course doth he take?
A53721And what did he obtain hereby?
A53721And what do they bear witness unto?
A53721And what do we know or understand of these things?
A53721And what doth she do when she is thus resolved?
A53721And what greater evidence, what greater Assurance can we have, that there is forgiveness with God for us?
A53721And what is got by this?
A53721And what is it that he prayes for them, in distinction from all other men whatever?
A53721And what is that?
A53721And what is the rise, spring, and cause of these things?
A53721And what is their acceptance with God?
A53721And what know we hereof?
A53721And what peace can you possibly obtain, were you as holy as ever you aimed or desired to be, whilest this is your Condition?
A53721And what shall we say, when he himself hath undertaken to make all things that he guides unto us to work together for our good?
A53721And what thence ensues?
A53721And what was that better Testament?
A53721And what was the Reason, what was the cause, that he was thus dealt withal?
A53721And what way did you steer, what course did you take to obtain the blessed condition wherein now you are?
A53721And what will be the end?
A53721And what will be the issue?
A53721And what will it avail any of us, that there is forgiveness of sin with God, if our own sins be not forgiven?
A53721And wherein did it consist?
A53721And wherein doth that consist?
A53721And who is this that is thus sent and called the only begotten Son of God?
A53721And why so?
A53721And wilt thou think it meet for such a one as thou art, to magnifie thy self against the great possessor of Heaven and Earth?
A53721Are not Heaven and Earth astonished at the despising of that Love, at which they are astonished?
A53721Are not the Consciences, and Convictions of the most stifled, by this Apprehension?
A53721Are the corrupted Natures of men, and the Gospel so suited, so complying?
A53721Are their consciences purged?
A53721Are their hearts continually filled with thoughts about it?
A53721Are their hearts purified by it?
A53721Are their lives changed?
A53721Are they not all the effect of the Word of the Power of this glorious God?
A53721Are they solicitous about it?
A53721Are they solicitous concerning their interest in it?
A53721Are we not satisfied with our condition?
A53721Are we, say they, blind also?
A53721Are you tossed up and down between hopes and fears, want peace, consolation and establishment?
A53721Art thou come to call my sins to remembrance and to slay my Son?
A53721Art thou not even ashamed to desire him to return?
A53721As Reuben cryed, The child is not, and I whither shall I go?
A53721Be it so then; through our sin and default this good and holy Law, this Covenant was made unprofitable unto us; But what was that unto God?
A53721But are you sure now that this is so, may you not possibly be deceived?
A53721But did they make a right Judgement of themselves?
A53721But doth Christ agree with Zion in this sentence?
A53721But doth he lye down under the burden of all this trouble?
A53721But doth it abide there?
A53721But doth not this tend to licenciousness?
A53721But his Soveraignty, Righteousness and Holiness, how are they declared hereby?
A53721But how are you confirmed in this perswasion?
A53721But how can this be?
A53721But how doth this appear that indeed this is the counsel of his will?
A53721But how then could he rejoyce in the habitable parts of the Earth?
A53721But is this all?
A53721But is this that forgiveness which is revealed in the Gospel?
A53721But is this the design of God?
A53721But now what are the greatest number of those who pretend to receive this Truth?
A53721But now what can be required to make any thing a duty unto us, that is wanting in this matter?
A53721But shall this Atheistical wickedness of the heart of man be called a discovery of forgiveness?
A53721But this is not all; he is not swallowed up in this amazement, crying out only who can stand?
A53721But was it so with her indeed?
A53721But what are these duties?
A53721But what is a dead body, and a dead womb, to an accusing Conscience, a killing Law, and apprehensions of a God terrible as a consuming fire?
A53721But what is it that can be reasonably excepted against this evidence, this foundation of our faith in this matter?
A53721But what is it unto the whole habitable world, and the fulness thereof?
A53721But what is the ground of such an invitation, unto such profligate sinners?
A53721But what is the issue?
A53721But what is the issue?
A53721But what is the issue?
A53721But who are they?
A53721But you will say how shall we distinguish between these two, so as not causelesly to be disquieted and perplexed?
A53721But you will say; Why, what great matter is there that you have in hand?
A53721By whom are they proposed?
A53721By whom were these Terms procured for you?
A53721Can I walk with God in them, whilst I have thus made him mine enemy?
A53721Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?
A53721Can any one certainly say, that he is worsted thereby?
A53721Can he not be quiet night nor day?
A53721Can he, say they, give bread?
A53721Can two walk together unless they be agreed?
A53721Can we be deceived trusting in it, or expecting that we shall find him to be what his name declares?
A53721Can you find a man that is otherwise minded?
A53721Could it have any other end, but to deceive poor creatures?
A53721Did I love thee, and leave my glory to become a scorn and reproach for thy sake?
A53721Did I not think my life, and all that was dear unto me too good for thee, to save thee from the wrath to come?
A53721Did he go through with it?
A53721Did he no more for the securing of the forgiveness of sins unto us, but only that he dyed for them?
A53721Did he only testifie his Love, and shew his good will for our deliverance?
A53721Did his Work cease in his death?
A53721Did it interest them in the promises?
A53721Did not the wrath of God overtake them notwithstanding?
A53721Did this profit them?
A53721Do these things abound in you?
A53721Do they deny all ungodliness and worldly lusts?
A53721Do they look upon it as their Treasure, their Jewel, their Pearl of price?
A53721Do they often look and examine whether it continues safe in their possession or no?
A53721Do they reckon, that whilst that is safe, all is safe with them?
A53721Do we doubt whether there be forgiveness with God or no?
A53721Do we not find all men full enough, most too full of Apprehensions of Forgiveness with God?
A53721Do we think that God hath forgiveness only for this or that individual person?
A53721Do you aright consider the nature of this matter?
A53721Do you at all seriously think of these things?
A53721Do you think it excellent, safe, and Glorious unto them who are entred unto it?
A53721Do you think to mend your condition by wishing it better, or complaining it is so bad?
A53721Doth forgiveness teach them so to do?
A53721Doth the Husbandman after he casts his seed into the Earth, immediately the next day, the next week, expect that it will be harvest?
A53721Find you not in your selves an impotency, a disability unto the dutyes of Obedience, as to their performance unto God in an acceptable manner?
A53721Finding themselves in depths, in distresses about sin, what course do they take?
A53721First, Then in particular it cryes out, If thou Lord shouldst mark iniquities, O Lord who shall stand?
A53721For do we think that he will be beholding unto them?
A53721For having said, Why dost thou cast me off O God?
A53721For how else should Cain so instantly know, that his Brother and his Offering were accepted, but that he and his were refused?
A53721For how should a man, any man, the best of men, be just with God if he would contend with him?
A53721For may he not do what he will with his own?
A53721For the Interrogation is indefinite; not how can I?
A53721For to what end should he have done it?
A53721For what Reason can be imagined, why God will be glorified in one Essential Excellency of his Nature, and not in another?
A53721For what else becomes us when we have to do with this great, and Holy one?
A53721For what need any man complain of that which requires nothing of him, but what he is from his own frame and Principles inclined unto?
A53721For what should encourage us unto any such boldness?
A53721For what sincerity can be in such proceedings?
A53721For who hath known the mind of the Lord, or who hath been his counsellor?
A53721God alwaies immutably subsisting in his own Infinite Being?
A53721Gospel- forgiveness?
A53721Hast thou not heard; hast not thou known?
A53721Hath God enlarged our hearts in prayer?
A53721Hath Nabal thus requited my kindness saith David?
A53721Hath he so done his work and laid it aside, or doth he still continue to carry it on until it be brought unto its perfection?
A53721Hath it been to make up what was wanting, and to piece up a peace in your own Consciences?
A53721Hath it filled you with self- loathing and Abhorrency, with self- condemnation, and abasement?
A53721Hath it this effect upon his soul, in his own heart?
A53721Hath the Holy Ghost wrought a serious Recognition in your hearts of all these things, and caused them to abide with you and upon you?
A53721Hath the unspeakable multitude of the sins of your lives been set in order by the Law before you?
A53721Hath this been done by a Word of Truth?
A53721Have I been a Wilderness unto thee, or a land of darkness?
A53721Have the wayes of Holyness, of Obedience, of Duties been so unto you?
A53721Have they found it effectual to these purposes?
A53721Have they had secret reasonings and contendings in their hearts about it?
A53721Have we nothing to do but to lay the foundation?
A53721Have you been convinced of the Universal Enmity that is in your hearts to the mind of God; and what it is to be at Enmity against God?
A53721Have you been filled with perplexities and consternation of Spirit thereupon?
A53721Have you given up your selves to this Grace?
A53721Have you had fears dreads or terrors to wrestle withall?
A53721Have you looked upon it as the price of his life, and the purchase of his blood?
A53721Have you seen pardon flowing from the heart of the Father through the blood of the Son?
A53721Have you stood at the shore of that infinite Ocean of Goodness and Love?
A53721Have you then been made sensible of your condition by Nature; what it is to be alienated from the life of God, and to be obnoxious to his wrath?
A53721Have your souls found supportment and relief from that Consideration?
A53721He did it not upon our desire, request, or proposal, but meerly of his own Accord, and why should we contend with him about it?
A53721He finds fault with the first; what then doth he do?
A53721He is great and terrible, a marker of sin, and what shall I say unto him?
A53721He quickly rebukes and recollects himself, saying, Why art thou cast down O my Soul, and why art thou disquieted within me?
A53721He sayes of some sins of ungodly men, as I live this iniquity shall not be purged from you until ye dye?
A53721He takes up their hearts to be his dwelling place; to what ends and purposes?
A53721He that made the Eye, shall he not see?
A53721He that planted the Ear, shall he not hear?
A53721He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
A53721He that thus prescribes forgiveness to us, that bestows the Grace of it upon us, is there not forgiveness with him?
A53721How comes it to be an occasion of his trouble?
A53721How comes the Remembrance of God to be unto him a matter of trouble?
A53721How could David keep silence, and yet roar all the day long?
A53721How did they entertain these promises of God?
A53721How doth David rouse up himself when he found his mind inclinable unto such a frame?
A53721How doth God know?
A53721How great then will be your destruction?
A53721How infinite, how unspeakable must needs the Grace and Condescention of God in this matter be?
A53721How is it then that you are thus delivered that you are no more sad?
A53721How is the true God distinguished from these Gods by Reputation?
A53721How light do most men make of pardon?
A53721How little of the workings of this Spirit is found amongst us?
A53721How long did his Afflictions continue?
A53721How many Professors are members of these Chruches?
A53721How many, things have the Romanists invented to deceive souls withal?
A53721How much less on them that dwell in houses of Clay; whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth?
A53721How shall a man know that his humiliation is Evangelical, that his sorrow is according to God?
A53721How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation?
A53721How then shall we apprehend it; how shall we conceive of it?
A53721How then shall we obtain the knowledge of them?
A53721How unconceivable is this glorious divine Property unto the thoughts and minds of men?
A53721How was he prepared for the reception of this great mysterie in its first discovery?
A53721How was this?
A53721How weak are the waies and terms whereby they go about to express it?
A53721However, what shame and confusion of face belongs to me for my wretched disingenuity, and ingratitude towards him?
A53721I am sure, that eventually they prevail so far, that in the preaching of the Gospel, we have great cause to say, Lord who hath believed our report?
A53721I have sinned, what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men?
A53721I speak unto them that are under the Law; Would you be free from that bondage, that galling yoke in dutyes of Obedience?
A53721If God will have us saved in a way of meer mercy and forgiveness; If his Wisdom and Soveraignty be in it, shall we oppose him, and say we like it not?
A53721If I have told you earthly things and ye believe not; how will you believe, if I tell you heavenly things?
A53721If any one hath sinned, and is in depths and entanglements about it; what course shall he take, how shall he proceed to obtain deliverance?
A53721If he did so, and had that blessed Issue, why should not we do so also?
A53721If one man sin against another, the Judge shall judge him; but if a man sin against the Lord, who shall intreat for him?
A53721If then you say you know it; Let us enquire how you came so to do?
A53721If they have no Experience of what it affirms to be within them, what confidence can they have of the Reality of what it reveals to be without them?
A53721If thou Lord shouldst mark iniquity, O Lord who shall stand?
A53721If thou Lord shouldst mark iniquity, O Lord who shall stand?
A53721If thou be Righteous what givest thou him, or what receiveth he at thine hand?
A53721If thou, Lord, shouldst mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
A53721If thou, Lord, shouldst mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
A53721If we abide at a distance from God, we shall assuredly perish; who ever hardned himself against him and prospered?
A53721If you are not, why do you give up your selves to despondencies?
A53721If you do these things ye shall never fall: What never fall into sin?
A53721If you sit still you perish, and if you rise to be doing, it will not be better; is there no hope left for our Souls?
A53721In that case who shall take upon him to intercede for the sinner?
A53721Is Grace capable of a conversion into Lust or Sin?
A53721Is he fit to intercede for sinners that shall make it?
A53721Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that thou art righteous, or is it gain unto him that thou makest thy wayes perfect?
A53721Is it consistent with any Divine Excellency?
A53721Is it for want of Mercy, Goodness, Grace or Patience in God?
A53721Is it for want of the mightiest encouragements and most infallible Assurances that with God there is Forgiveness?
A53721Is it in a future Amendment and Repentance?
A53721Is it in the World?
A53721Is it in the continuance of their lives?
A53721Is it in their Duties, and Righteousness?
A53721Is it in their Lusts, and sins, that they will yield them as much satisfaction and contentment as they shall need to desire?
A53721Is it not Industry and Activity of spirit?
A53721Is it not a common complaint that men presume on it, unto their eternal ruine?
A53721Is it not evident that all their lives they seem industriously to take care that they may perish eternally?
A53721Is it not for the most part from your sloth and despondency of spirit?
A53721Is it not he who destroyed Aegypt with his Plagues, and drowned Pharaoh with his Host in the red Sea?
A53721Is it not he, one of whose servants flew an hundred and fourscore and five thousand in Senacheribs Army in one night?
A53721Is it not that he might by his patience, give us leave and space to get an interest in that forgiveness which he thus testifies to be in himself?
A53721Is it not then incumbent on every one to be enquiring in what number he is likely to be found at the last day?
A53721Is it nothing unto you to lose all your hopes, and all your Expectations which you have from hence?
A53721Is it possible there should be mercy for such an one?
A53721Is it saith he, to God, Good for thee that shouldst oppress, that thou shouldst despise the work of thy hands?
A53721Is it the burning of our houses, the spoiling of our Goods, the ruine of our estates alone that our sins have deserved?
A53721Is it through any defect in the Mediation of the Lord Christ?
A53721Is not God holy, righteous, wise in what he hath done?
A53721Is not this he who brought the Flood of old upon the world of ungodly men?
A53721Is not this to make God an Idol?
A53721Is not what he doth, good and holy because he doth it?
A53721Is that the beginning of our Message unto him?
A53721Is the New Covenant grown so connatural to flesh and blood?
A53721Is the greatest secret that ever was revealed from the bosom of the Father, become so familiar and easie to the wisdom of the flesh?
A53721Is there any need of their Testimony to the Truth, Faithfulness, and Goodness of God?
A53721Is there any thing more to be done herein?
A53721Is there forgiveness with him or no?
A53721Is there no forgiveness with God?
A53721Is there not Remunerative Justice in God, in a way of Bounty?
A53721Is there not Vindictive Justice in him, in a way of severity?
A53721Is this all?
A53721Is this an Argument to keep thee from believing?
A53721Is this any thing of that you do believe?
A53721Is this giving all diligence?
A53721Is this the frame of the most of men?
A53721Is this the return that thou hast made unto him for all his love, his kindness, his consolations, mercies?
A53721Is this the return, the requital, I have made unto him?
A53721Is this thy kindness for him, thy love to him?
A53721Is this thy kindness to thy Friend?
A53721Is this working out our Salvation with fear and trembling?
A53721It comes not in its own name, but in the name of him who appointed it; you will say then, is it so indeed?
A53721It is an expression of exultation that he useth; but what is the Issue of it?
A53721It is answered by the matter of the Proposal, who can stand?
A53721It is to bring him to Repentance: What now, if he obtaine his end, and man cometh to that which is aimed at?
A53721It must then be for our sakes; and for what?
A53721It will then be said, doth not all this lye directly contrary to our daily experience?
A53721Let Jesus Christ be heard to speak in this cause, let him come and judge?
A53721Let us consider with whom we have to do; are not we and all our concernments in his hands, as the Clay in the hand of the Potter?
A53721Many have not these terms revealed unto them; few find favour to accept of them; and of whom is it that you have obtained this peculiar mercy?
A53721May I not justly fear, that the Lord will take his holy Spirit from me, until I be left without remedy?
A53721May he not do what he will with his own?
A53721May it not be feared that it is utterly otherwise?
A53721May not an Intercessor be obtained to plead in the behalf of the guilty soul?
A53721May we not then see a mixture of unspeakable patience, grace and mercy in every dispensation?
A53721Methinks now Judas his Repentance looks like the young mans Obedience, who cryed out, all these things have I done; Is there any thing yet lacking?
A53721No, saith the Apostle, God hath another design in his patience, and long- suffering; what is this?
A53721No; Have they considered how the Objections that lye against it may be removed?
A53721None can, saith the Holy Ghost; nor can it be spoken to their capacity; ah what shall their end be?
A53721Nor is there the least relief to be had but from and by him; for who can forgive sins but God?
A53721Not at all; But is it so indeed that this perswasion is thus bred in you, you know not how?
A53721Notions there are many about it, and endless contentions, but what more?
A53721Now how can any man apply himself hereunto, whilest he is altogether uncertain whether he hath received any principle of Living, Saving Grace, or no?
A53721Now how do most men look upon forgiveness?
A53721Now what is the Advantage of these things?
A53721Now what is the way to receive that which comes from meer Soveraignty and prerogative?
A53721Now what was Adams condition when the Revelation of forgiveness was first made to him?
A53721O sinners, come and deal with God by Repentance: Doth it not openly speak forgiveness in God?
A53721O that I had thousands of Ramms, and ten thousands of Rivers of Oyl to offer to him?
A53721Oh how little is this really believed, even by them who make a profession of it?
A53721Or are you so under the power of your Lusts, Ignorance, and Darkness, that you neglect and despise them?
A53721Or by what other wayes or means have you come to that acquaintance with it, whereof you boast?
A53721Or did you receive it from and by some seasonable word, of, or from the Scriptures spoken unto you?
A53721Or do you not hope well in Generall upon the account of what you have done, and will doe?
A53721Or have you general thoughts that Christ dyed for finners?
A53721Or is it never fall totally from God?
A53721Our sins are upon us, we pine away in them, and how should we then live?
A53721Particular troublesome reflections upon your selves, when on any eruption of sin, Conscience accuses, rebukes, condemns?
A53721Reason stands by amazed, and cryes how can these things be?
A53721Saith such a soul in its self; foolish creature, hast thou thus requited the Lord?
A53721Saith such a soul, How excellent, how precious is this forgiveness that is with God?
A53721Secondly, But may not this Judge be intreated to pass by what he knows, and to deal favourably with the sinner?
A53721Shall I curse God and dye?
A53721Shall I do more than ever he required of any of the Sons of men?
A53721Shall I take the course of the world, and seeing it will be no better, be wholly regardless of my latter end?
A53721Shall all this be done for our sakes, and shall we undervalue it, or disesteem it?
A53721Shall he not believe, or profess those things to be so, because he can not obtaine a blessed Experience of them?
A53721Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
A53721Shall she give over waiting on God, and say there is no hope?
A53721Shall we call him unto an account?
A53721Sinners are under the power of Satan; he layes a claim unto them, and by what means shall they be rescued from his interest and dominion?
A53721So doth such a soul; the Love of God is not, Christ is not, and I whither shall I cause my sorrow to go?
A53721Some we find crying with that wicked King, This evil is of the Lord, why should we wait any longer for him?
A53721Such as he will not do often nor ordinarily; such as shall fill the world with dread and amazement: He will answer his people in terrible things?
A53721Suppose this also; Let us go a little further and enquire whether you know any thing that yet remains of the like importance in this matter?
A53721Suppose you are strangers to this also: What communion with God have you had about it in the blood of Christ?
A53721That it should be an endeavour needless, or superfluous, to inquire into the Will of God about, and our own interest in these things, who can imagine?
A53721That you would seriously consider, whether the forgiveness you rest on, and hope in, be that Gospel Forgiveness which we have before described?
A53721The Indefiniteness of that Interrogation; Who shall stand?
A53721The Law it knows; and Righteousness it knows, but as for forgiveness it sayes, whence is it?
A53721The Rise and Spring of our forgiveness is in the heart and Gracious Nature of God, declared by his Name; Have you enquired seriously into this?
A53721The Terms of it are unequall, how can any man believe them?
A53721The last Lords day, such a one, or such a one preached to the same purpose; And what need it be insisted on now again, with so much importunity?
A53721The sinner can not then expect any door of escape to be opened unto him?
A53721The sinners in Sion are afraid, fearfulness hath surprised the Hypocrites; who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire?
A53721The soul in this frame is contented to wait the pleasure of God, as we shall see in the close of the Psalm?
A53721The wayes of Wisdom are pleasantness, and her paths are peace?
A53721Then shall you remember your own evil wayes, and your doings that were not good; When shall they do so?
A53721There being no forgiveness for them, what should move them to repent?
A53721These things are plainly, openly, frequently insisted on in the Gospel?
A53721This is called speaking against God; they spake against God; they said, Can he furnish a Table in the wilderness?
A53721This makes him tremble, and cry out, O Lord who shall stand?
A53721This was the Way whereby he rose out of his depths and escaped out of his entanglements?
A53721Thou numbrest my steps, dost thou not watch over my sin?
A53721Thoughts of sinning against the Love of God, managed by the Holy Ghost; what shall I say?
A53721Thy houses are burned, but perhaps thy goods are saved; is there no grace, no goodness therein?
A53721To have no other Reception with God, than if all this while you had been wallowing in your sins and lusts?
A53721To have pardon, forgiveness, life, and blessed Eternity on believing, who can rest in it?
A53721To what end doth the Lord set forth and declare his glorious Greatness and Power?
A53721To what end?
A53721Upon the death of her Son, which it seems was some what extraordinary, she cryed out unto the Prophet, What have I to do with thee thou Man of God?
A53721Was it by preaching of the Word unto you, or by reading of it, or meditating upon it?
A53721Was it by vertue of any especial personal priviledge that was peculiar unto them?
A53721Was there any Reason, why he should do so, designing to do all things for himself and for his own glory?
A53721We come with our Report of forgiveness; but who believes it?
A53721We must say then unto such heartless Complainers, as God did to Joshuah, Get you up, why lye you thus upon your faces?
A53721Well may poor sinners cry out, Lord who shall stand?
A53721Well then, if God will hasten it, may not we hasten to it?
A53721Well, what shall be the issue thereof?
A53721What Argument doth he make use of to free them from their unbelief, and to rebuke their fears?
A53721What a life of Joy, Rest, Peace, and Consolation do they lead?
A53721What an easie thing is it to be acquainted with it?
A53721What are his thoughts hereupon?
A53721What are these joyful tydings?
A53721What ayles the Man?
A53721What can remain of distrust in such a case?
A53721What can these thoughts and counsels be, but about a way for their deliverance, which could no otherwise be, but by the forgiveness of sins?
A53721What can we now object against what is thus confirmed?
A53721What course did you take?
A53721What course then shall she take?
A53721What course will you fix upon, for the obtaining of these Ends?
A53721What did he aim at and design?
A53721What dismal darkness and disconsolation, yea, what utter ruine should I be left unto?
A53721What do I think of Ordinances?
A53721What doth he call them unto?
A53721What for the most part have you hitherto been conversant about?
A53721What further can any soul desire?
A53721What great sin, crime, or offence is in this enquiry?
A53721What greater can be given?
A53721What ground is left of questioning the Truth in hand?
A53721What ground remains for unbelief to stand upon in this matter?
A53721What hath any soul in the World to object against them?
A53721What have you to say to these things?
A53721What if I should have so grieved him that he will dwell in me no more, delight in me no more?
A53721What is a Church?
A53721What is it that the Scripture calls for in your condition?
A53721What is it that they intend thereby?
A53721What is so High, Glorious, and Mysterious as the Doctrine of the ever blessed Trinity?
A53721What is that silence which is consistent with roaring?
A53721What is the Reason hereof?
A53721What is the bottom and foundation of this blessed Resolution?
A53721What is the end of all Church Order, Assemblies, and Worship?
A53721What is the issue?
A53721What is the matter with all this roaring, sighing, tears, roaring all the day, all night long?
A53721What is the reason that controversies hang so long between God and your souls, that it may be you scarce see a good day all your lives?
A53721What is the usual course that is taken in such complaints by them to whom they are made?
A53721What is their common deportment in reference unto it?
A53721What link of this Chain can unbelief break in, or upon?
A53721What now have the most of men, who are confident in the profession of this faith, to say unto this thing?
A53721What now if God should deprive us of all these things?
A53721What pretence, colour, or excuse can we have for our unbelief?
A53721What say they unto a poor guilty sinner?
A53721What shall I do to be saved, is the utmost it aims at, Who shall deliver me, how shall I escape?
A53721What shall be the end of them that obey not the Gospel?
A53721What shall be the end of them that obey not the Gospel?
A53721What shall he then do?
A53721What shall we now say?
A53721What shall we say after this?
A53721What shall we say concerning the Heavens over us, and all these creatures of Light that have their habitations in them?
A53721What so common as God is merciful?
A53721What then I pray?
A53721What then became of the Lord Christ in his undertaking?
A53721What then did Christ do in his death?
A53721What then did God do unto him?
A53721What then doth God aim at in and by all these various wayes of teachings?
A53721What then doth he do?
A53721What then doth the sinner?
A53721What then is now become of him?
A53721What then is the natural posture and frame of the soul towards God as displeased?
A53721What then is the peculiar Instruction that is proper for souls in this condition?
A53721What then may be the language of this appointment?
A53721What then saith he of Laodicea?
A53721What then saith he to J A H?
A53721What then shall I do?
A53721What then shall be the issue, if these things are attended unto?
A53721What then shall poor, sinful, guilty creatures do?
A53721What then shall we now say?
A53721What then, faith God by his word, Wilt thou go away also?
A53721What then?
A53721What understanding can reach to an apprehension of their miserable and wofull condition?
A53721What was his condition who fled of old to the City of refuge for safety, from whence this expression is taken?
A53721What was his intention in submitting unto, and undergoing the Will of God in these things?
A53721What was in transaction between God as the Judge of all, and him that was the Mediator of the Church?
A53721What was the matter of this report?
A53721What was then his State and Condition?
A53721What was wanting that made all that they did abominable?
A53721What way then, what remedy is left unto us?
A53721What will you doe?
A53721What, because God can not pardon them, it is not possible with him?
A53721When he giveth quietness, who can give trouble?
A53721When it is, as it were, laid out of the way by sin and unbelief, do they give themselves no rest, untill it be afresh discovered unto them?
A53721When was this done?
A53721Whence is it then that there is such a bleating and bellowing to the contrary amongst them?
A53721Whence then is it said, that God appeared unto them by the name of Elshaddai, but not by the name of Jehovah?
A53721Whence therefore doth it appear, whence may we infallibly conclude, that God will redeem his Israel from all their iniquities?
A53721Where have you found ease and peace?
A53721Where is he, and what doth he?
A53721Where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
A53721Where then is Boasting?
A53721Wherefore did this glorious Son of God come and Tabernacle amongst poor sinners?
A53721Wherefore doth he reject and lay aside this Covenant and Promise to make another, and do so accordingly?
A53721Wherefore the Law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good; was then that which was good made death unto me?
A53721Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and how my self before the high God?
A53721Who amongst us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
A53721Who can stand?
A53721Who can stand?
A53721Who hath given first unto him that it should be recompenced unto him again?
A53721Who is not in hopes, in expectation of pardon?
A53721Who is this that thus bespeaks you?
A53721Who shall undertake to umpire the business, the controversie between God and Sinners?
A53721Who thinks not that they know well enough at least what it is, if they might but obtain it?
A53721Whom did God send about this business?
A53721Whose Conscience almost is burdened with this as a sin, that he doth not as he ought, believe the forgiveness of his sins?
A53721Why had such one help and I none?
A53721Why my house, not my neighbours?
A53721Why sayest thou O Jacob, and speakest O Israel, my way is hid from the Lord, and my judgement is passed over from my God?
A53721Why should any one have a thought of compassion towards them, who despise the compassion of God?
A53721Why should it be their duty so to do?
A53721Why the City, not the Suburbs?
A53721Why what ayled you, what was the matter with you; seeing as to the outward things you were in Peace?
A53721Why where is the defect?
A53721Why, saith he?
A53721Why, they have nothing to lead them into the mysterious depths of eternal Love, of the blood of Christ, and Promises of the Gospel?
A53721Will Christ pray that they may find favour with him?
A53721Will he not frequently satisfie himself that it is safe?
A53721Will he now deny that unto us, which he hath given such Assurance of, and raised such expectations concerning it?
A53721Will it do me any good to be at Jerusalem, and not see the face of the King?
A53721Will it relieve me?
A53721Will not the dread of his Excellency fall upon us?
A53721Will we continue on the old bottom of the first Covenant?
A53721Will what was once Grace, ever become Wantonness?
A53721Will you yet account the blood of the Covenant to be a common thing?
A53721Without a perswasion hereof how can a man on grounds of faith carry himself towards God as his Father?
A53721Would he not bestir himself with all his might, and call in all the help he could obtain?
A53721Would he not by so doing prove himself to be the greatest of them?
A53721Would it not change the whole frame of the spirit of such a man, and as it were put new life into him?
A53721Would you be made partakers of this forgiveness?
A53721Would you have all that you do towards God, a delight and pleasantness unto you?
A53721Yea, and let him be accursed; for what can be more required to justifie God in his eternal destruction?
A53721You believe there is forgiveness with God; Yes, but have you been convinced of sin?
A53721You have taken away my Gods, saith he, and what have I more?
A53721You will say then, What shall a man do who can not find or obtain an experience in himself of what is affirmed in the Word?
A53721You will say then, do you condemn this manner of proceeding with the souls of men in their doubts, fears and distresses?
A53721and by what means?
A53721and have not all ages been filled with such instances of his Greatness and Power?
A53721and how are they performed?
A53721and how many are ruined by them every day?
A53721and if he be, why do we not subscribe unto his wayes, and submit quietly unto his Will?
A53721and if it were otherwise could men possibly be more frustrated or deceived?
A53721and if we know nothing at all of these things, as indeed we do not, were it not best for us to leave them quietly unto Gods disposal?
A53721and may he not do what he will with his own?
A53721and sent out fire from the Altar to devour Nadab and Abibu?
A53721and shall we complain of Gods dispensations about them?
A53721and shall we then repine against it?
A53721and shall we think that this is the whole design of the Patience of God?
A53721and what mean thoughts are entertained about it, when men seek for pardon?
A53721and when he hideth his face, who can behold him?
A53721are any Complaints ready to break out of our mouths?
A53721are they influenced from this Faith of forgiveness you boast of or no?
A53721are your complaints of want of an Interest in forgiveness, a sanctified means to obtain it?
A53721because it is so affirmed in the Gospel: How then, doth he find it to be so?
A53721but, who can stand?
A53721by the Promise of the Gospel?
A53721by whom is it received?
A53721can he give flesh unto his people?
A53721can not we wait under his present dispensations?
A53721do any repining thoughts against the works of God arise in our hearts?
A53721do we know what state, what condition will most further our Obedience, best obviate our temptations, or call most on us to mortifie our Corruptions?
A53721doth he despond, and give over?
A53721doth he think to fly from God, and to give over all endeavours of recovery?
A53721doth he think to reap so soon as he hath sown?
A53721doth it answer all the wants and distresses of your souls?
A53721doth not the nature of the thing require humble waiting?
A53721doth not this render Obedience, Holiness, Duties, Mortification of sin, and good works, needless?
A53721doth she make use of her former excuses and pretences, why she could not engage into the duties she was called unto?
A53721either to delude them if they do pray according to his command, or to involve them in further guilt, if they do not?
A53721hath he no other purpose but meerly to forbear them a while in their folly, and then to avenge himself upon them?
A53721have they given you delight in God, and strength unto new obedience?
A53721have they made you more holy, and more humble?
A53721have you been by any means delivered, or did your trouble wear off, and depart of its own accord?
A53721his only design?
A53721is it not the principle of spiritual life, whereof thou art partaker?
A53721is it not, the new Creature?
A53721is it that we should by the difficulty included in them, be discouraged and kept from him?
A53721it is excluded; by what Law?
A53721leave them in darkness, vailed, undiscovered, satisfying himself in the glory of those Properties which his work of Creation had made known?
A53721must we pine away under our sins and the wrath of God for ever?
A53721never silent, never hold his peace?
A53721now he is gone; he is withdrawn from thee, and what wilt thou do?
A53721or I see a little grass in the blade, but no corn, I will give it to the beasts to devour it?
A53721or Jacob, when he said, My way is hid from the Lord, and my Judgement is passed over from my God?
A53721or cry this evil is of the Lord, why should I wait for him any longer?
A53721or did also effectually pursue it, and not faint, until he had made a way for the exercise of forgiveness?
A53721or did he faint under it?
A53721or doth he immediately say, I have laboured in vain, here is no return, I will pull up the hedge of this field and lay it waste?
A53721or have you any thing to object against it?
A53721or if they do so, what shall give them countenance, in their so doing?
A53721or is it only a General Apprehension of Impunity, though you are Sinners?
A53721or of mercy towards them who trample on the blood of Christ?
A53721or perhaps thy substance also is consumed, but yet thy person is alive; and should a living man complain?
A53721or shall he hide himself from him, and so avoid the effects of his wrath?
A53721or wherein do men repose their Trust and Confidence in the neglect of this so great Salvation?
A53721or whether we shall obtain it, if we address our selves unto him for to be made partakers of it?
A53721or would you have them pine away under the sense of their condition, or abide in this uncertainty all their daies?
A53721seeing as yet they were not?
A53721shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with Calves of a year old?
A53721shall I give my first born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
A53721shall a man be more pure than his Maker?
A53721shall he contend with him?
A53721shall he despise his wrath and anger, and contemn his threatnings?
A53721shall he harden himself against him?
A53721shall we desire your salvation with the despoyling God of his honour?
A53721shall we not think his way best, and his time best, and that our duty is to be silent before him?
A53721shall we preferre you above his Glory?
A53721shall you be delivered?
A53721that opened the Earth to swallow up Dathan and Abiram?
A53721that we can live at a better rate without a sense of the love of God in Christ, than he could do?
A53721that which we have been treating about?
A53721to live under Ordinances, and not to meet in them with the King of Saints?
A53721was he bound to desert his own Institution and Appointment, because through our own default it ceased to be profitable unto us?
A53721was that her true Condition whereof she was so perswaded, as to profess it unto all?
A53721what are we before the Eternal God?
A53721what course doth he take?
A53721what did Sion get when she cried, The Lord hath forsaken me, and my God hath forgotten me?
A53721what end or issue was put to them?
A53721what is his life?
A53721what is his strength?
A53721what was the fainting which he had been overtaken withall without the supportment mentioned?
A53721who can conceive the beauty, order, use and course of them?
A53721who knows not how ruinous and pernitious to the soul such courses would be?
A53721who shall say unto him, what dost thou?
A53721why go I mourning because of the oppression of mine enemy?
A53721why he must unto God for pardon; but what shall he rely upon to encourage him in his so doing?
A53721why is it urged with so much earnestness?
A53721why lye you upon your faces?
A53721will not his terrour make us afraid?
A53721will the Lord be pleased with thousands of Ramms, or with ten thousands of Rivers of Oyl?
A53721will you yet neglect his offers?
A53721will your latter end be peace?
A53721would not the Institution of Repentance be a lye?

A55305''T is but a blast to the true Honour which cometh of God only, saith the Understanding: What, to Pleasures?
A55305''T is but dross to the unsearchable Riches of Christ, saith the Understanding: What, to Honours?
A55305''T is impossible: But if it be not the Truth of the Text, is there yet any Truth in the thing?
A55305( may every one of them say) Why hast thou chosen me?
A553051. Who is the Author thereof?
A553051. Who is the Great Agent?
A553051. Who is the great Agent?
A5530510. and what else is the Fulness of the Gentiles and the Conversion of the Jews, but this promised Seed?
A5530510. there''s an irresistibility; but what without any resistance at all?
A55305104. and again, I esteem all thy precepts to be right, and what follows?
A5530510?
A5530511. and if he work, who can let it?
A5530511. how can they be at peace?
A5530511?
A5530512. but shall a man of precious faith do so?
A5530512?
A5530514?
A5530514?
A5530515. altogether evil, and nothing but evil; and now how can the Will embrace it as good?
A5530515?
A5530517. but is that a mere outward hearing?
A5530517?
A5530518?
A5530518?
A5530519?
A5530520. but shall the wise in heart do so?

A5530522?
A5530525?
A5530525?
A5530526. as to their Salvation,''t is as if there were no Sacrifice at all for them: But if Christ died not for all men, how can these things be?

A553054?

A5530552?
A553055?
A553055?
A553056. and who should rule but the only wise?
A553056. but doth he so in all?
A553056?
A553057. and smote and wounded him for our iniquities; he paid down his humane Nature in doing and suffering, and what could the Law desire of him more?

A55305?
A55305After what manner is it wrought?
A55305After what manner it is wrought?
A55305Again; What is it for God to work the Act of Willing, so as men do not resist, but to work it in a way of dependence upon Man''s Will?
A55305Again; they urge that, What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it?
A55305All men, if they believe, shall be saved; saved, but how?
A55305All this is but 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, much fancy, and why should an immortal Soul be set upon it?
A55305Also the Objectors may be asked, Doth not God foreknow that the Creature set in such a state and order of things will finally sin?
A55305And after all this, is the Will in aequilibrio?
A55305And again; Posset Deus( saith he of wicked men) ipsorum voluntatem in bonum convertere, quoniam Omnipotens est; posset planè, cur ergo non fecit?
A55305And are Sufferings all the Image of Christ?
A55305And are all those which are called to Sufferings Justified and Glorified?
A55305And can there be less of the beauty of providence in the Spiritual world than in the natural?
A55305And how doth God reserve or make men to remain unto himself?
A55305And how irrational is it also?
A55305And how then is not Predestination to these?
A55305And how then without eternal Decrees can there be any foundation of Futures?
A55305And if Christ''s errand into the World was to execute Election, then how did he merit it?
A55305And if he did not order it to his own Glory, how should Light come out of Darkness, and Order out of Confusions?
A55305And if not, how can it actually turn to God, seeing that is actus ordinis supernaturalis?
A55305And if so, how is it retained to the Father?
A55305And if there were but one great Ear or Organ of Hearing common to all, how would Christ''s Ministers always be filling it with Gospel?
A55305And is all this glory of words poured out upon a mere posse; which doth not so much as encline to Conversion?
A55305And is there no Emphasis of Love?
A55305And is this for God to chuse like himself?
A55305And may a Will renewed with the holy Ghost, and right set by gracious Principles do thus?
A55305And seeing every Change is a kind of Death, must not the Deity suffer, and as it were die in this Mutation?
A55305And what Worlds can not the Life of God purchase?
A55305And what are these wishes?
A55305And what for just nothing, for a sic volo?
A55305And what hindred you from turning unto me?
A55305And what is all this but the executing of the Decree of Election?
A55305And what is the Calling following upon Predestination?
A55305And what is the Justification which hangs upon Calling?
A55305And what is this Will and Mercy but God''s gratuitous design of Grace and Glory to his Elect?
A55305And what nakedness can not the Righteousness of God cover?
A55305And what would not a Saint do, if but left in manu consilii sui?
A55305And when he was risen from the dead, he raises up the Faith of his Disciples, Why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
A55305And whence came all these numbers and hosts of Beings?
A55305And where in all this Epistle is the word[ justifie] so taken?
A55305And who is he but God the Creator?
A55305And who set you there at first?
A55305And why is it not free, if determined?
A55305And why so here?
A55305And why then do you call him dead?
A55305And why would you not?
A55305And, Ne dicas Deo interrogando, Quae est voluntas tua?
A55305Are and Glory no part thereof?
A55305Are not all Souls his own, and may he not chuse which he pleases?
A55305Are not all the Promises Yea and Amen in him?
A55305Are not here the noblest and highest Inclinations set forth unto us?
A55305Are there no strains of free Grace?
A55305Are these his Image also?
A55305Are they finite or infinite?
A55305Are those Spirits made perfect in every thing else but that?
A55305As to the first Quaere, Whether Christ died for all men?
A55305At enim gratiâ ille talis& tantus est, cur diversa est gratia, ubi natura communisest?
A55305But admit that these Graces were his own too; yet how can finite Graces satisfie for an infinite Evil?
A55305But further; Is not Faith the Grace of Union with Christ?
A55305But further; how did he do the Will of God?
A55305But here I shall be asked whether that posse convertere be not such a Principle?
A55305But how absurd is this?
A55305But how came you into such ranks?
A55305But how can he do so, if as to the Act of Election he be under the Pre- determining Will of Man?
A55305But how doth he blind and harden them?
A55305But how far will he remove it?
A55305But how unscriptural is this?
A55305But if Christ no way died for all men, how came the Ministers Commission to be so large?
A55305But if God electing did not consider men as sinners lying in the corrupt mass, what need was there of Mercy where there was no misery?
A55305But if Sufferings were all Christ''s Image, yet are all Sufferings his Image?
A55305But if all the rest might consist, yet where is the Efficacy of it?
A55305But if he did, what would become of them?
A55305But if one Creature could steal away all its Fellow- creatures from him, yet who shall turn back his Almighty Hand?
A55305But if the Will can not turn aside to such false Beatitudes, yet may it not suspend its Act as to the true?
A55305But if there be, how can he permit sin, seeing he is bound to give such Grace as will actually prevent it?
A55305But if this also might be satisfied, yet where is the Grace of it?
A55305But if this may be salved by the Divine Prescience, yet where is the Sovereignty of it?
A55305But is this so strange a thing( will you say?)
A55305But now if Christ by his Merits do found the very Decree of Election, is not the Order of working in the sacred Trinity inverted?
A55305But now if Christ died alike or equally for all, what becomes of his precious Blood?
A55305But now without gracious Principles in the Heart, how can the Heart be right or pure?
A55305But on the other side how cogent is the argument?
A55305But since you came over, where do you stand?
A55305But suppose they could all be induced to become a Sacrifice for us, would the holy One open his Eyes upon such a Satisfaction?
A55305But to go on; What is the Predestination here, but to a Conformity to the Image of Christ?
A55305But what a perplexed Labyrinth of words is here?
A55305But what is our most congruous conception thereof?
A55305But what is this interpretation but mere a perverting of Scripture?
A55305But what''s the meaning of this?
A55305But whence had you all that truth and goodness which is in you?
A55305But where in all the Scripture doth the word[ Calling] being put absolutely, and without such addition, ever signifie a Call to Sufferings?
A55305But where is the holiness and obedience of the Saints recorded, but in the very Decree of Election?
A55305But whither can he turn?
A55305But who dares add an[ it] to Gods Word, and in this Text to the two links and not to the former?
A55305But why a Philanthropy rather than a Philangely?
A55305But would all the Apostles bring forth fruit?
A55305But you''l say, How can these things be?
A55305But you''l say, Is not Eternal Life also a Reward of Faith and Holiness?
A55305But you''l say, Is not Man a living Creature?
A55305But you''l say, Might they not also resist him as to his internal Operations?
A55305But you''l say, the Passive Obedience is only meant there; but if so, why doth the Apostle oppose it to Adam''s Actual Disobedience?
A55305But your Beings being of such different sorts, how came you to be so kind each to other?

A55305Can it go before its Leader?
A55305Can it guide its Guide?

A55305Can the Captive do ought in it?
A55305Can the Will cease to be a rational and free Appetite?
A55305Can the hidden man be ever hid, the good treasure ever sealed, and the glory within ever shut up?
A55305Can the righteous God, who judges according to truth, impute Sin to his holy one?
A55305Christ suffered between two Thieves, a Type of the Elect and Reprobate World; but who dare say that he had as much respect to the one as to the other?
A55305Christ''s Manhood did not anoint it self, and shall free Will turn it self?
A55305Consider what a kind of Creation the production of gracious Principles is: Is it every way pure Creation?
A55305Consider what the Instrument is,''t is the Word of God; the two grand Truths therein are the Law and Gospel, and what are these in their eternal Idea?
A55305Consider who is the principal Agent, who but the Almighty?
A55305Could it not curse the Sinner?
A55305Could not the Blood of God have washed out the blackest spots of fallen Angels?
A55305Could that humane Nature( conceived by the holy Ghost, and inseparably united to the God- head) could that also transgress?
A55305Couldst thou not have given him some inward dispositions to Conversion?
A55305Couldst thou not make a new heart in every one of us?
A55305Cur dixit stultus, non est Deus?
A55305Did he will that it should be paid for all men, and so be a sufficient Price for them?
A55305Do we make void the Law by Faith, or by its Object our Redeemer and Redemption?
A55305Do you doubt whether I am he who paid down the Price of Redemption?
A55305Do you scruple whether that Price were accepted of God or not?
A55305Dost thou go on frowardly in the way of thy heart?
A55305Dost thou oppose the precious Gospel?
A55305Doth Sin profer a World?
A55305Doth he drop out of the state of Grace without any apostasie, or continue in it without any differencing quality?
A55305Doth he in hindring sin offer violence to man''s Liberty, as in permitting it he leaves him thereunto?
A55305Doth he yet destinate them to Eternal life without a Mediator?
A55305Doth not Christ dwell in the heart by faith?
A55305Doth not that evidently import a Decree, that whosoever believes shall be saved?
A55305Doth not the Father, even in his Eternal Election, work from the Son?
A55305Doth not the Will turn Brute in closing with sensual Lusts?
A55305Doth thy Will hang back?
A55305Even moral Vertues dispose to moral Acts, how much more do supernatural Principles dispose to spiritual Acts?
A55305External Revelation is all over the Church, why is not the inward holy Unction so too?
A55305For all the Wolves and the Leopards, yet( saith God) they shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy Mountain; why so?
A55305For whom it was paid?
A55305For whom was this Price paid?
A55305Foreknowing this, doth not he willingly and actually set the Creature in that state and order?
A55305From or upon this setting the Creature in that state and order, doth not its final Sin infallibly follow?
A55305God says, No flesh shall glory in it self, and shall Man''s Will vaunt it thus?
A55305God will not dwell in men whether they will or not: Very true; but if Almighty Power connot make men willing, what can do it?
A55305Had all the Jews equal Grace with the Jews given to Christ, with the Jews drawn by the Father, with the Jews chosen out of the world?
A55305Had not he as Man all the Essentials of Liberty?
A55305Hath he not a Reason and reliques of Light in it?
A55305Hath he not a free Will and Seeds of Moral Vertue in it?
A55305Hath not the new heart, which hath eternal life in it, a propensity to Acts of spiritual life?
A55305Have not they all the essentials of Liberty?
A55305Hence it appears, that that Expression[ What could have been done more?]
A55305Hence the Will hath no whither else to turn: But if it turn no whither else, may it not suspend its Act as to Christ?
A55305Hence the entire Essence is in the Father; and the entire Essence is in the Son too; and what if it could not be thus in a finite Essence?
A55305Here God himself engages to work all saving Graces in us: Are our hearts hard?
A55305His power is insuperable, therefore none can stay his hand; his Sovereignty is unaccountable, therefore none can say, What dost thou?

A55305If it do not, whither will it turn?
A55305If not, where is the supposed Liberty?

A55305Is it not written there, I will put my Spirit within you, and is not the Spirit a spirit of faith, and faith a fruit of the Spirit?

A55305Why did the rebellious Israelites grieve their good God forty years together?
A55305Why do the Mammonists boast and trust in their uncertain Riches?
A55305Why doth the Atheist say in his heart, there is no God?
A55305Why doth the blind Idolater fall down to the Stock of a Tree?
A55305Why hast thou forsaken me?
A55305Why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our hearts from thy fear?
A55305Why hath a Will a liberty of Spontaneity to some Objects, but because the Understanding represents them as good pro hîc& nunc?
A55305Why have not the Elements Life, the Plants Sense, the Beasts Reason, and Men Angelical Perfections?
A55305Why have such and such Worms a lot in light, and not in utter darkness?
A55305Why is he so earnest for Understanding?
A55305Why is not Grace as common as Nature, and Saintship as Humanity?
A55305Why should Holiness be designed, which was yet in being and unforfeited?
A55305Why should Salvation be appointed, when as yet there was none lost, or in the state of perdition?
A55305Why should corrupt Reason mutter as if Satisfaction and Remission, which are matches in Scripture, were inconsistencies in Nature?
A55305Why, but because it is determined?
A55305Will it hang off from perfect Blessedness?
A55305Will men take a pin of it to hang a vessel thereon?
A55305Will not the new creature renewed by the holy Ghost, and sweetned by the holy Unction have some Odours and Fragrancies breaking forth from it?
A55305Will they not, if God give them a Will, a new heart and a new spirit?
A55305Will they not, if God take away the nilling and resisting Principle, the heart of stone?
A55305Will they not, if God write his Laws in their hearts and inward parts?
A55305You will say, He would have fulfilled them in all, but that men themselves will not: But what a strange word is this[ they will not]?
A55305You will say, What remedy for all this?
A55305You''l say, Is this so absurd?
A55305You''l say,''t is in the Person of Christ our Redeemer: But how is it there?
A55305and God''s sovereignty, hath not the potter power over the clay?
A55305and are they not extensive to all men?
A55305and can it do thus when a right- set Understanding is really actuated, and it self truly principled with Grace?
A55305and can there be a worse Stone than this?
A55305and do not these denominate him gracious in whom they are?
A55305and doth not the Scripture call men Beasts upon that account?
A55305and how then can that be decreed as a Reward without a preconsideration of these?
A55305and if free, how determined?
A55305and if not 〈 ◊ 〉 way doth their Unbelief give God the lye?
A55305and is not a posse peccare from him also?
A55305and unless this be cut off, can there be a true Circumcision?
A55305and when he says so, who may pare off ought, and say, it was not all but some?
A55305and whence is this approach but from God and God electing?
A55305and where are his Sufferings alone so stiled in Scripture?
A55305and why doth he say Obedience in general?
A55305and yet did not his humane Will indeclinably follow his divine?
A55305being only streams from God, as light from the Sun; If the Sun be gone, who can keep light in the Air?
A55305but if there be, how are these things connected?
A55305could they have it quite out of God''s Way?
A55305couldst thou not at least have inwardly enlightned every one?
A55305couldst thou not write the Law in every Heart?
A55305cur, nisi quia stultus est?
A55305cùm sim quod audio, i d est, homo, quod est& ille de quo ago, cur non sim quod& ille?
A55305doth it not directly resist the Blood and Righteousness of Christ?
A55305he is a root of fatness and sweetness; Art thou a lost and half- damned Creature?
A55305he is a sun of righteousness; Art thou in death?
A55305he is but as other men are, and how can he be in it?
A55305he is the resurrection and the life; Art thou a withered branch?
A55305he''l give us hearts of flesh capable thereof; are our hearts void of God''s Law?
A55305he''l roll away the stone from them; do our hearts resist holy impressions?
A55305his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
A55305how Resurrection?
A55305how, but by giving of Faith unto them?
A55305if a better Grace of the Spirit, how can it precede such a Mother- grace as Faith?
A55305if the passive obedience of Christ apart purchase all for us, where is the glory of the active?
A55305is not Unbelief of our Spirit, and Faith of Gods?
A55305knocked and you would not open?
A55305moved and you would not stir?
A55305must therefore Faith reject it?
A55305neither is possible; he back- slides not from God, and how can he be out of the state of Grace?
A55305offered Christ and Heaven and you would not accept?
A55305or can it do so, and the summū malū not fall into its embraces?
A55305or draw back from the Kingdom of Heaven which never approached unto them?
A55305or from what other Scripture can it be demonstrated?
A55305or neglect Salvation for whom it was never prepared?
A55305or trample on that precious Blood which was never shed for them?
A55305or was it a Church in his Intention?
A55305or what is so properly such as his Active Obedience?
A55305or who shall descend into the deep?
A55305quia noluit; cur noluerit?
A55305quid credidit?
A55305quid egit ante?
A55305quid petivit, ut ad hanc ineffabilem excellentiam perveniret?
A55305quomodo isti inde delentur, ubi nunquam scripti sunt?
A55305saith the Soul, all this is but thick clay, and why should I lade my Eagle- affections with it?
A55305says the Soul, this is he who made the Robe of Righteousness for me, and how much love was there in every thread of it?
A55305that one and the same thing should be imported in both?
A55305then Christ died for all men; or did he will that it should not be paid for all men, but only be sufficient for them in its intrinsecal value?
A55305therefore suffer me to parly their Original out of their own mouths, Creatures, whence came you?
A55305they are all Blackamoors to this all- lovely Jesus; What, to repentant Tears?
A55305this Principle rests on him as the power of God to cast them down: Are there Armies of temptations round about us?
A55305those want washing in his Blood; What, to its good Works and Righteousness?
A55305to the ungathered ones?
A55305tu quis es qui respondeas Deo?
A55305what a Chaos in the Elements?
A55305what a crack in the heavenly Orbs?
A55305what a strange Dooms- day by the blending of Sun and Sea, Heaven and Earth together?
A55305what a tumbling cast would there be among the Angels?
A55305what amazing Changes?
A55305what an Heaven and Earth full of admirable Creatures and Harmonies issued forth?
A55305what an horrible Tempest must needs ensue?
A55305what from its own blessedness verily, thoroughly believed?
A55305what from the only way to Blessedness evidently pointed out?
A55305what high strains are here?
A55305what is man that thou savest him?
A55305what is the mutable Being of Creatures, unless fixed by the Will of the Necesse esse?
A55305what may not be done by it?
A55305what rare Eloquence?
A55305what shall I do to be saved?
A55305what trembling fits would there be in them?
A55305what words of Power?
A55305when I laid the measures of her Graces in my Eternal purpose?
A55305which way can God''s Call be answered, or his Desire or Delight attained?
A55305whom on earth besides thee?
A55305whom thou chusest and causest to approach unto thee; and what approach can a sinful worm have to the holy one, what but by the Faith of Christ?
A55305why hast thou chosen me?
A55305why hast thou forsaken me?
A55305why hast thou loved me?
A55305why should they come to that Feast for whom nothing is prepared?
A55305would they all do so and be happy?
A55305yet why may it not be so in an infinite?
