A62596	And there are two Controversies actually on foot about an infallible Judge; One, Whether there be an infallible Judge or not?
A62596	But still it will be said, who shall judge what things are plain and what doubtfull?
A62596	But, as the Apostle says in another case, What art thou, O man, that objectest against God?

A62596	To whom this judgment of discerning doth appertain?

A62596	which is a Controversie between Us and the Church of Rome: and the other, Who this infallible Judge is?
A62587	And again, Is there any God besides me?
A62587	And what is this less in effect than to say, That there are three Gods?
A62587	Are we not all the Sons of Adam, who was the Son of God?

A62584	And now shall every trifling consideration be sufficient to move a man to relinquish such a Church?
A62584	And why then should a bare possibility, accompanied with infinite and apparent hazard, be an argument to any man to run into that danger?
A62584	But can not God impose upon the senses of men, and represent things to them otherwise than they are?
A62584	But is there any sense, that another mans boldness and want of charity should be an argument to move me to be of his opinion?
A62584	But what if their senses did deceive them in this matter?
A62584	But why should they lay any stress upon this?

A58627	Is there any reason in this case, that this man should carry it meerly by his confidence?
A58627	What matter is it what we Hereticks say, who are so damnably mistaken ● n all other things?
A58627	When he was told that his Mother and Brethren were without; Who( says he) are my mother and my brethren?
A62578	And now we are at a little better leisure to answer that captious Question of theirs, Where was your Religion before Luther?
A62578	And what is the Reason?
A62578	But do we then charge the Church of Rome with Idolatry?
A62578	But doth the danger then alter the obligation of Conscience?
A62578	But the proper Question in this Case is, Which is the true Ancient Christian Faith, that of the Church of Rome, or Ours?
A62578	But what need I to urge these Instances?
A62578	Hath a Master of a Family more power over those under his Government than the Magistrate hath?
A62578	Hath a Nation changed their Gods, which yet are no Gods?
A62578	Therefore to push the matter home, Are they sure that this is a firm and good consequence, That if they be Idolaters, they can not be a true Church?
A62578	What in our Saviour''s time, when the whole Christian Church consisted of twelve Apostles, and seventy Disciples, and some few Followers beside?
A62578	What think we of it in Moses his time, when it was confined to one People wandering in a Wilderness?
A62578	but the very same in substance which we now give to the Church of Rome?
A62611	Did he not appear the first time without Sin?
A62611	For had Sin been so easily forgiven, who would have been sensible of the great evil of it, or afraid to offend for the future?
A62611	How is that?
A62611	Men may eternally wrangle about any thing, but what a frivolous contention, what a trifling in serious matters, what barretrie in Divinity is this?
A62611	Now where doth the force of this Argument lye, if not in this?
A62611	Why?
A62611	Would not this be in effect to say, that God hath written a great Book to puzzle and confound, but not to instruct and teach Mankind?
A62591	And do we think all this is to be done in an instant, and requires no time?
A62591	And is this a reasonable hope?
A62591	Are thy passions and lusts yet unsubdued, and have they had no other mortification than what age hath given them?
A62591	But if we were sure that happiness would come again, yet why should we put it off?
A62591	But why for a little while?
A62591	Do we think that when the day hath been idlely spent and squandered away by us, that we shall be fit to work when the night and darkness comes?
A62591	Does any man know how to be safe and happy to day, and can he find in his heart to tarry till to morrow?
A62591	How late is it then to begin to live well, when thy life is almost at an end?
A62591	If a mans life lay at stake, and he had but one throw for it, with what care and with what concernment would he manage that action?
A62591	Is this a fitting encouragement for a wise man to give to himself, to any action?
A62591	Seneca expostulates excellently with this sort of men; Who shall ensure thy life till that time?
A62591	That we may delay and put off to the last, and yet do all this work well enough?
A62591	To conclude: Art thou convinced, that thy eternal happiness depends upon following the advice which hath now been given thee?
A62591	thou art just ready to dye, and hast thou not yet begun to live?
A62591	what reasonable or acceptable service can we then perform to God?
A62591	when our candle is just sinking into the socket, how shall our light so shine before men, that others may see our good works?
A62591	why till to morrow?
A55819	And what can we say for our selves if we continue deaf as to all this?
A55819	But to come to the Liturgy it self; are there not many things in it which with some shew of reason our dissenting Brethren except against?
A55819	For doth he think we are bound never to make any new Constitutions in our Church, or abolish old ones, according as the exigencies of it doe require?
A55819	Have we not already lost our reputation with the people of the Land by insisting too rigorously on those things?
A55819	If so, why have we any Convocations at all?
A55819	Is it not enough that we have had already a twenty years War about them?
A55819	It is objected, If we once begin to alter, where shall we stop?
A55819	The seventh Objection is, If we make those alterations and so often change, how shall we answer the Papists, who will upbraid us with it?
A55819	To which I answer, Why more now than in 1662. when all readily complyed with and approved the like alterations?
A55819	and are there not many more which we our selves heartily wish might be amended and improved?
A55819	and hath not the Church ever asserted this power as one of the most essential things which belong to its Constitution?
A55819	and must it now renounce all this for the sake of this Gentleman''s motto?
A71106	And can we deny him any thing he asks of us who was going to doe all this for us?
A71106	And why is he not worthy?
A71106	But if there do, why do we by our own neglect deprive our selves of the whole?
A71106	Can we deny him this?
A71106	Can we without the most horrible ingratitude neglect this dying charge of our Sovereign and our Saviour, the great friend and lover of souls?
A71106	Had such a friend, and in such circumstances, bid us doe some great thing would we not have done it?
A71106	If no such great benefits and blessings belong to it, why do we complain of them for hindring us of any part of it?
A71106	This I doubt not proceeds from a pious mind; but as the Apostle says in another case about the Sacrament, shall I praise them in this?
A71106	To such our Lord may say as he did to the Jews, Why call ye me Lord, Lord, and doe not the things which I say?
A71106	When such a price is put into our hands, shall we want hearts to make use of it?
A71106	Where then lyes the difficulty?
A71106	Who can wash his hands in innocency, that so he may be perfectly fit to approach God''s Altar?
A71106	so little grievous and burthensome in it self, so infinitely beneficial to us?
A71106	what should be the cause of all this backwardness which we see in men to so plain, so necessary, and so beneficial a duty?
A71106	when he hath onely said to us, Eat O friends, and drink O beloved?
A71106	when he onely invites us to his table, to the best and most delicious Feast that we can partake of on this side heaven?
A62600	And are we then to make no difference betwixt our Enemies and our Friends?
A62600	And how hardly are the best of us brought to love our Enemies, and to forgive them?
A62600	And shall we not for His sake, for whose sake we our selves are forgiven, be willing to forgive one another?
A62600	And what a wide distance is there between our expectations from GOD, and our dealings with Men?
A62600	And yet after all this, how little is this Duty practis''d among Christians?
A62600	But what if after all, this Enemy of ours, this hated man, prove to be one of our best Friends?
A62600	He sheweth no mercy to a man like himself, and doth he ask forgiveness of his own Sins?
A62600	How many( sayes he) are unworthy of the light, and yet the Day visits them?
A62600	How strangely inconsistent is our practice and our hope?
A62600	How very partial and unequal are we, to hope so easily to be forgiven, and yet to be so hard to forgive?
A62600	Lastly, It is objected, What can we do more to our best Friends, than to love them and bless them, than to do good to them and to pray for them?
A62600	One man beareth hatred against another, and doth he seek pardon of the Lord?
A62600	Secondly, If we ought to be thus affected towards our Enemies, how great ought our kindness, and the expressions of it, to be to others?
A62600	So that after all our Boasts of the Excellency of our Religion, where is the practice of it?
A62599	And how close did they follow one another?
A62599	And how severely does Nathan the Prophet reproach David upon this account?
A62599	And now if you ask me, for what Sins more especially God hath sent all these Judgments upon us?
A62599	And now, O our God, what shall we say after this?
A62599	And the People spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt, to die in the Wilderness?
A62599	And what was it that render''d him so?
A62599	But how was this a tempting of Christ?
A62599	But who am I, and what is my people?
A62599	He can hardly find words enough to express how great Sinners they were; and he adds the reason in the next verse, Why should they be smitten any more?
A62599	How often would I have gathered you, sayes our B. Saviour to the Jews, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings?
A62599	What could we in reason expect after all this, but utter ruine and destruction?
A62599	What fearful Judgments and Calamities, of War, and Pestilence, and Fire, have many of us seen?
A62599	What terrible havock did the Sword make amongst us for many years?
A62599	When David makes his most solemn acknowledgments to God for his great Mercies to him; how doth he abase himself before Him?
A62599	Wherefore hast thou despis''d the Commandment of the Lord to do evil in his sight?
A62599	Who among us could have imagin''d, but a few Months ago, so happy and so speedy an end of our fears and troubles?
A62599	Why should they be smitten any more?
A62599	Why?
A62599	Wouldst not thou be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor escaping?
A62599	what was the cause of this great shame and confusion of face?
A62608	Especially if God breath upon the Counsels of men, how are their designs blasted?
A62608	How are they infatuated and foil''d in their deepest contrivances, and snared in the work of their own hands?
A62608	Mother?
A62608	Nothing but our Sins can part God and us: Who shall separate us, saith the Apostle, from the love of God?
A62608	Now what would any of us do in such a Case, if it were not for God?
A62608	So that if God be on our side, who can be against us?
A62608	There be many, says he, that say, Who will shew us any good?
A62608	This then is the plain meaning of the Text, That nothing in the world but God can make man happy: Whom have I in heaven but thee?
A62608	Whom have I in heaven but thee?
A62608	shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
A62597	And if it be, wherein the real and absolute force of it doth consist?
A62597	And if it be, wherein the real and absolute force of it doth consist?
A62597	Art thou greater than our father Abraham: whom makest thou thy self?
A62597	Art thou greater than our father Jacob?
A62597	I was naked, did ye clothe me or did ye not?
A62597	I was sick and in prison, did ye visit me or did ye not?
A62597	Now what can we imagin, but that the good God did design some extraordinary reward to such faithfull servants of his?
A62597	Now what was the great and famous Promise which God made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob?
A62597	Second place, to enquire Whether this be any more than an Argument ad hominem?
A62597	Secondly, I shall enquire, Whether it be more than an Argument ad hominem?
A62597	That is, if men live in another world, how shall the controversie between these seven brethren be decided?
A62597	Upon which case they put this Question to our Saviour; whose wife of the seven shall this woman be at the Resurrection?
A62597	Was not he Abraham''s God, when he blest him so miraculously with a Son in his old age, and with so considerable an estate to leave to him?
A62597	With what indignation did they fly upon our Saviour on this account?
A62597	was it not this of being their God?
A62597	what need then is there of extending this promise to another world?
A62612	And whether it may not be in his power to revenge a spiteful and needless word by a shrewd turn?
A62612	Are we guilty of the evil said of us?
A62612	Are we innocent?
A62612	But how few have attain''d to this perfection?
A62612	But if they hear any good of their Adversaries, with what nicety and caution do they receive it?
A62612	But with what face or reason dost thou expect this from others, to whom thy carriage hath been so contrary?
A62612	Can we make a jest of so serious a matter?
A62612	Consider also, whether you may not come hereafter to be acquainted with him, related to him, or obliged by him whom you have thus injured?
A62612	Do we believe the Bible to be the Word of God?
A62612	For who is he, saith the Son of Sirach, that hath not offended with his tongue?
A62612	Is it no Crime by the breath of our mouth at once to blast a man''s Reputation, and to ruin his Children, perhaps to all Posterity?
A62612	Speak thy Conscience Man, and say whether, as bad as thou art, thou wouldst not be glad to have every man''s, especially every good man''s, good word?
A62612	The Question is, in what Cases by the general Rules of Scripture and right Reason we are warranted to say the evil of others that is true?
A62612	What can be more severe than that of St. James?
A62612	Who shall abide in thy Tabernacle, who shall dwell in thy holy Hill?
A62612	and with what coldness do they at last admit it?
A62612	how many objections do they raise against it?
A62612	render it so is the man that defameth his neighbour, and saith am I not in sport?
A62557	* And he said unto them, why are ye troubled?
A62557	And what can any man do more unworthily towards his Friend?
A62557	And what if after all Transubstantiation, if it were possible and actually wrought by the Priest, would yet be no Miracle?
A62557	But what says the Catholique Orthodoxus to this?
A62557	How can he possibly use him more barbarously, than to feast upon his living flesh and bloud?
A62557	Is it a necessary and conclusive Argument or not?
A62557	The Case of mixt Communion: Whether it be Lawfull to Separate from a Church upon the account of promiscuous Congregations and mixt Communions?
A62557	The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the bloud of Christ?
A62557	What endless triumphs would they have made upon this Subject?
A62557	Whether any man have, or ever had greater evidence of the truth of any Divine Revelation than every man hath of the falshood of Transubstantiation?
A62557	and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
A62557	nor so much as ask our Saviour, how can these things be?
A62557	the bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
A71107	And are we not in a more peculiar and eminent manner Brethren, being all the children of God by faith in Jesus: Christ?
A71107	And one of the most celebrated Charities that ever was; how small was it for the matter of it, and yet how great in regard of the mind that gave it?
A71107	And shall little scruples weigh so far with us, as by breaking the Peace of the Church about them to endanger our whole Religion?
A71107	And who, that loves God and Religion, can chuse but take great contentment to see so general and forward an inclination in People this way?
A71107	And yet what is the Christian Church but the Society and Community of Christ''s Disciples?
A71107	Are not the things about which we differ, in their nature indifferent, that is, things about which there ought to be no difference among wise men?
A71107	Are we not all members of the same Body, and partakers of the same Spirit, and Heirs of the same blessed Hopes of eternal life?
A71107	Can we in good earnest be contented that rather than the Surplice should not be thrown out, Popery should come in?
A71107	Have we not all one Father?
A71107	How is this great Precept of our Saviour not only shamefully neglected, but plainly violated by us?
A71107	In what sence our Saviour calls this Commandment of loving one another a new Commandment?
A71107	Is it not plain to every eye, that little Sects and separate Congregations can never do it?
A71107	What shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
A71107	Where now is that mark of a Disciple, so much insisted upon by our Lord and Master, to be found in that Church?
A71107	Why do we not, as becomes Brethren, dwell together in unity?
A71107	Will we freely offer them that advantage, which they would be contented to purchase at any rate?
A71107	and rather than to submit to a set Form of Prayer, to have the Service of God perform''d in an unknown Tongue?
A71107	hath not one God created us?
A94360	Are we not all the Sons of Adam, who was the Son of God?
A94360	But to what purpose?
A94360	Did he not appear the first time without Sin?
A94360	For had Sin been so easily forgiven, who would have been sensible of the great evil of it, or afraid to offend for the future?
A94360	How is that?
A94360	Is there not One God, and are we not all his Offspring?
A94360	Men may eternally wrangle about any thing, but what a frivolous contention, what a trifling in serious matters, what barretrie in Divinity is this?
A94360	Now where doth the force of this Argument lye, if not in this?
A94360	Why?
A94360	Would not this be in effect to say, that God hath written a great Book to puzzle and confound, but not to instruct and teach Mankind?
A94360	but may ask further, Is God divided?
A94360	hath not One God created us?
A62646	1. Who shall abide in thy Tabernacle, who shall dwell in thy holy Hill?
A62646	And whether it may not be in his power to revenge a spiteful and needless word by a shrewd turn?
A62646	Are we guilty of the evil said of us?
A62646	Are we innocent?
A62646	But how few have attain''d to this perfection?
A62646	But if they hear any good of their Adversaries, with what nicety and caution do they receive it?
A62646	But with what face or reason dost thou expect this from others, to whom thy carriage hath been so contrary?
A62646	But, you will say, if Men be such Slaves to their Thoughts, and are thus necessarily passive under them, where is the Freedom of Thoughts?
A62646	Can we make a jest of so serious a matter?
A62646	Consider also, whether you may not come hereafter to be acquainted with him, related to him, or obliged by him whom you have thus injured?
A62646	Do we believe the Bible to be the Word of God?
A62646	For who is he, saith the Son of Sirach, that hath not offended with his tongue?
A62646	Is it no Crime by the breath of our mouth at once to blast a man''s Reputation, and to ruin his Children, perhaps to all Posterity?
A62646	Or for a Man that desires to be well thought of, not to entertain some Vanity of Imagination, when he hears himself commended or flatterd?
A62646	Speak thy Conscience Man, and say whether, as bad as thou art, thou wouldst not be glad to have every man''s, especially every good man''s good word?
A62646	The Question is, In what Cases by the general Rules of Scripture and right Reason we are warranted to say the evil of others that is true?
A62646	What can be more severe than that of St. James?
A62646	What is the Meaning of that Phrase?
A62646	What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days that he may see good?
A62646	What now is to be said to this?
A62646	and with what coldness do they at last admit it?
A62646	how many objections do they raise against it?
A62646	render it, So is the man that defameth his neighbour, and saith, Am I not in sport?
A62609	And how little reason is there to glory in that, which is so frequently foil''d by an unequal strength?
A62609	And now we may ask the Question which Job does, Where shall wisdom be found, and where is the place of understanding?
A62609	And now what may God justly expect from us, as a meet return for his Goodness to us?
A62609	And why should any man be proud of his danger, of that which one time or other may be the certain and only cause of his ruin?
A62609	God forbid?
A62609	How art thou cut down to the ground that didst weaken the Nations?
A62609	How art thou fallen from Heaven, O Lucifer, Son of the morning?
A62609	How hard a matter is it to be truly wise?
A62609	I proceed to consider, What it is that is matter of true glory?
A62609	May we not appeal to God in this, as Abraham did in another Case?
A62609	Now can any man believe this, that hath any tolerable notion either of the Goodness or Justice of God?
A62609	Or if by might we understand military force and power, how little likewise is that to be gloried in?
A62609	Secondly, Because when knowledg and wisdom are with much difficulty in any competent measure attained, how easily are they lost?
A62609	Secondly, When knowledg and wisdom are with great difficulty in any competent measure attain''d, how easily are they lost?
A62609	That be far from thee, to do after this manner: Shall not the Judge of all the Earth do right?
A62609	Unless it be first naturally known that God is a God of truth, what ground is there for the belief of his Word?
A62609	What?
A62609	Wilt thou destroy the righteous with the wicked?
A62609	art thou also become like unto us?
A62609	hast thou seen the treasures of the Haile?
A62609	the exactour of gold ceased?
A62605	6. says God there, I hearkened and I heard, but they spake not aright; no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done?
A62605	And again, O Jerusalem, wilt thou not be made clean?
A62605	And at last, when nothing would do, with what difficulty and reluctancy does God deliver them up into the hands of their Enemies?
A62605	And can any of us be so obstinate and hard- hearted, as not presently to resolve to repent and return, and to meet the compassions of such a Father?
A62605	And can it be now wise to revive them, and to take them up again?
A62605	And how can we chuse but dread lest their Fate should overtake us, the Example of whose Faults and Follies we do in so many things so nearly resemble?
A62605	And how glad is he when any good man will step in and interpose to stay his hand?
A62605	And what an infatuation was this?
A62605	For who is fit to interpose in such hot and fierce differences?
A62605	How great was it to the old World, when the long suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, for the space of an hundred and twenty years?
A62605	How loth is God that things should come to this?
A62605	How shall I deliver thee Judah?
A62605	How shall I give thee up Ephraim?
A62605	How shall I make thee as Admah?
A62605	I proceed to the Second Observation from the Text, namely, What is the only proper and effectual means to prevent the ruine of a sinful People?
A62605	O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee?
A62605	O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved; how long shall vaine thoughts lodge within thee?
A62605	O Judah, what shall I do unto thee?
A62605	So long I remember; and in all that space how very few years pass''d over us without some great Calamity and dismal Event?
A62605	What a conflict is here?
A62605	What can be imagin''d more slow, and mild, and merciful, than the proceedings of the Divine justice against a sinful People?
A62605	Will nothing but sad and bitter experience be an admonition to us?
A62605	Will nothing but the last necessity and extremity of things bring us to our selves and teach us wisdom?
A62605	how shall I set thee as Zeboim?
A62605	that is, how long wilt thou delude thy self with vaine hopes of escaping the judgments of God by any other way than by repentance?
A62605	what tenderness and yerning of his bowels towards them?
A62605	when shall it once be?
A62605	when the same danger in some degree, and from the same implacable Enemies, still hovers over us?
A62605	who can do it without danger, or with any hopes of success?
A62565	And are they not designed by God for their Instruction, and read either to that purpose, or to none?
A62565	And is it possible to instruct Men by what they do not understand?
A62565	And what is, if this be not, to shut the Kingdom of Heaven against Men?
A62565	And why may they not be used by the People for those Ends for which they were given?
A62565	Are the Scriptures so useful and profitable for Doctrine, for Reproof, for Instruction in Righteousness?
A62565	Are these directed to God, or to the People only?
A62565	But are they in earnest?
A62565	But is this all that is intended in the Service of God?
A62565	But then what say they to the Lessons and Exhortations of Scripture, which are likewise read to the People in an unknown Tongue?
A62565	But what harm were it, if all they that pray understood it also: Or indeed, how can men pray to God without understanding what they ask of him?
A62565	Convenient for them, for God, or for the People?
A62565	For how can they be said to be publick Prayers if the People do not join in them?
A62565	Hath God forbidden the People to look into the Scriptures?
A62565	How comes the Case now to be so altered?
A62565	If it be enough for the Priest to understand them, why should not the Priest only be present at them?
A62565	If they are not, why do they deceive and delude them?
A62565	Is God less honoured by them?
A62565	Is it good that People should understand their private Prayers?
A62565	Is it necessary for Men to understand any thing they do in Religion?
A62565	Is it not all one, as to all purposes of Edification, as if the Scriptures were not read, or any thing else in the place of them?
A62565	Is not Prayer a part of the Christian Worship?
A62565	Is there less of Religion in publick Prayers?
A62565	Must not Men know the Truth for fear of falling into Errour?
A62565	No, quite contrary: Was it the Practice of the Antient Church to lay this restraint upon Men, or to celebrate the Service of God in an unknown Tongue?
A62565	Or are we not as capable of being Edified and of having our hearts and affections moved and incited by them?
A62565	Suppose the reading of the Scriptures hath been the occasion of Heresies, were there ever more than in the first Ages of Christianity?
A62565	The Scriptures are the Word of God; and from whence can we learn the Will of God so well as from his own Mouth?
A62565	Were not People then liable to Errour, and was there no danger of Heresy in those Times?
A62565	Were there no difficulties and obscurities then in the Scriptures, capable of being wrested by the Unstable and unlearned?
A62565	Where then lies the Difference?
A62565	Why does the Church doubt to follow so great an Authority, or rather how dares she to dissent from it?
A62565	Why should reasonable Creatures be treated at this rude and barbarous rate?
A62565	and how can they join in that they do not understand?
A62565	and how should they learn when they do not understand?
A62565	and is any Service reasonable that is not directed by our Understandings, and accompanied with our Hearts and Affections?
A62565	and to what purpose are Lessons of Scripture read, if People are to learn nothing by them?
A62565	does not St. Paul expresly require more?
A62565	that( we thank them) they allow, and why not the publick as well?
A62566	1. Who shall abide in thy Tabernacle, who shall dwell in thy holy Hill?
A62566	27. without any inconvenience include both these?
A62566	And how should it quicken our endeavours to have such a reward set before us, to have Crowns and Scepters in our eyes?
A62566	And indeed who would not be loth to be taken off from so delightfull an argument?
A62566	And when we are safely landed in our own Country, with what pleasure shall we look back upon those rough and boisterous Seas which we have escap''d?
A62566	And whether it may not be in his power to revenge a spiteful and needless word by a shrewd turn?
A62566	Are we guilty of the evil said of us?
A62566	Are we innocent?
A62566	Besides, who can tell what employment God may have for us in the next life?
A62566	But how few have attain''d to this perfection?
A62566	But if they hear any good of their Adversaries, with what nicety and caution do they receive it?
A62566	But if thou be carnal and sensual, what are these things to thee?
A62566	But with what face or reason dost thou expect this from others, to whom thy carriage hath been so contrary?
A62566	Can we make a jest of so serious a matter?
A62566	Consider also, whether you may not come hereafter to be acquainted with him, related to him, or obliged by him whom you have thus injured?
A62566	Do we believe the Bible to be the Word of God?
A62566	For this reason Solomon very elegantly calls them things that are not, Why wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not?
A62566	For who is he, saith the Son of Sirach, that hath not offended with his tongue?
A62566	How should these thoughts affect our hearts, and what a mighty influence ought they to have upon our lives?
A62566	Is it no Crime by the breath of our mouth at once to blast a man''s Reputation, and to ruin his Children, perhaps to all Posterity?
A62566	So likewise our fierce and unruly passions; if we should carry them with us into the other world, how inconsistent would they be with happiness?
A62566	Speak thy Conscience Man, and say whether, as bad as thou art, thou wouldst not be glad to have every man''s, especially every good man''s good word?
A62566	The Question is, In what Cases by the general Rules of Scripture and right Reason we are warranted to say the evil of others that is true?
A62566	What can be more severe than that of St. James?
A62566	What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days that he may see good?
A62566	Why should we not then always live as those that must die, and as those that hope to be happy after death?
A62566	and how happy he who is the fountain of happiness can make those souls that love him, and those whom he loves?
A62566	and with what coldness do they at last admit it?
A62566	how dost thou swallow up our thoughts and entertain us at once with delight and amazement?
A62566	how many objections do they raise against it?
A62566	render it, So is the man that defameth his neighbour, and saith, Am I not in sport?
A62566	why hast thou prepar''d such a happiness for those who neither consider it, nor seek after it?
A62566	why should not I be as much afraid to commit any sin as if Hell were naked before me, and I saw the astonishing miseries of the damned?
A62566	would we but often represent to our minds the glorious things of another world, what fervours should we feel in our hearts?
A62648	18. Who casteth firebrands, arrows and death, and saith, Am I not in sport?
A62648	And is a Man easilier made by chance then his Picture?
A62648	And may not a little Book be as easily made by Chance, as this great Volume of the World?
A62648	And what would the Product of these two contrary Passions be?
A62648	And, to put an end to these Questions, Is he wise, who hopes to attain the end without the means?
A62648	But Secondly, Suppose fear alone could do it; how comes the mind of Man to be subject to such groundless and unreasonable fears?
A62648	But now what doth the Atheist resolve this into?
A62648	But this likewise is liable to great exception; For, whence came this Tradition?
A62648	But what account doth the Atheist give of this?
A62648	But why do I use arguments to perswade men to that which is so excellent, so useful, and so necessary?
A62648	Can we reckon that to be prudence which the Lord hath in derision?
A62648	Could he desire him to work a greater Miracle then to make a World?
A62648	Do you count him prudent, who throws himself over- board to save his goods?
A62648	Do you think him a wise man, who is serious about trifles, but trifles about the most serious matters?
A62648	For, whence should this Fear come?
A62648	How long might a man be in sprinkling colours upon Canvas with a careless hand, before they would happen to make the exact picture of a Man?
A62648	How sadly will the man be disappointed when he finds all things otherwise then he had stated and determined them in this world?
A62648	If from the suggestion of others who tell us so, the question returns, who told them so?
A62648	If there be no such thing as God in the world, how comes it to pass that this object doth continually encounter our understandings?
A62648	In what Countrey, and in what Age of the World?
A62648	Into what can we resolve this strong inclination of mankind to this error and mistake?
A62648	Is he wise, who in matters of greatest moment and concernment neglects opportunities never to be retriv''d?
A62648	Is he wise, who is wise in any thing but in his proper profession and imployment?
A62648	Is he wise, who neglects and disobliges him who is his best friend, and can be his shrewdest Enemy?
A62648	Is that man wise, as to his body and his health, who onely cloaths his hands, but leaves his whole body naked?
A62648	Now why should any man be aggrieved that there is such a Being as this, or count it his interest to shut Him out of the World?
A62648	Verse of this Chapter, Where shall Wisdom be found?
A62648	What made Cardinal Wolsey( one of the greatest Ministers of State that ever was) to pour forth his soul in those sad words?
A62648	What made Tiberius( that great Master of the Crafts of Government) complain so much of the grievous stings and lashes he felt in his Conscience?
A62648	What mov''d that Great Emperour, Charls the Fifth, to quit his Kingdom, and retire into a Monastery to prepare for another World?
A62648	What reason for such Actions and Speeches, if these Great Men had known that Religion was but a cheat?
A62648	What was his Name, or his Sons Name, that we may know him?
A62648	What would the world think of a man that should advance such an opinion as this, and write a Book for it?
A62648	When he comes to appear before that God whom he hath denied, and against whom he hath spoken as despightful things as he could?
A62648	Whence then cometh Wisdom, and where is the place of understanding, seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living?
A62648	Who can imagine the pale and guilty looks of this man, and how he will shiver and tremble for the fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his Majesty?
A62648	Why should any man be concern''d or troubled that there is a Being as good as we can possibly desire or imagine?
A62648	Will Chance fit means to ends, and that in ten thousand instances, and not fail in any one?
A62648	Wouldst thou be truly wise?
A62648	Wouldst thou then be truly knowing?
A62648	and where is the place of Understanding?
A62648	how come all Nations to be thus seduced?
A62648	nay, by means that are quite contrary to the end?
A62648	to know the will and pleasure of the great Monarch, and Universal King of the World, and the Customs of that Country where we must live for ever?
A62648	whence is it that we are so perpetually haunted with the Apparition of a Deity, and followed with it where- ever we go?
A62648	whether our Souls shall perish with our Bodies, or be immortal, and shall continue for ever?
A62648	who provides onely against the Tooth- ach, and neglects whole troops of mortal diseases that are ready to rush in upon him?
A62648	who she s a small danger, and runs upon a greater?
A62648	who with one weak Troop goes out to meet him that comes against him with thousands of thousands?
A62648	wise for every body but himself?
A62640	And can we forget so great a Benefactor, and be unmindful of the God that formed us?
A62640	And hath the Devil deserved so well of us, that we should be contented to spend the best part of our Lives in his Service, which is perfect Slavery?
A62640	And how solicitous is he, before he dye, to petition the King for favour to his Children?
A62640	And in the first place we must inform them, that there is such a Being as God, whom we ought to honour and reverence above all things?
A62640	And indeed how can it be expected that Children should love their Duty, when they never hear of it but with a handful of Rods shak''d over them?
A62640	And shall not his Soul be avenged on such a Nation a ● this?
A62640	But how misbecoming a thing would it be to see a Judge pass Sentence upon a man in Choler?
A62640	But now what is the effect of this mistaken way of Education?
A62640	Can a Woman?
A62640	Can a woman, says God, forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb?
A62640	Can any man in reason expect that such a Petition will be granted?
A62640	Can we chuse but remember the Founder of our Beings, the great Patron and Preserver of our Lives?
A62640	Can you have the face at that time to bespeak him in this manner?
A62640	Do we thus requite the Lord?
A62640	Do ye thus requite the Lord, foolish and unwise?
A62640	Do you thus reason?
A62640	Dost thou love thy Child?
A62640	For is there any Civil Society or Corporation into which persons are admitted without some kind of Solemnity?
A62640	Hath God deserved so ill at our hands, that we should forget and neglect Him?
A62640	How could you thus hate your own Fl ● sh, and hate your own Souls?
A62640	How could you ● e thus unnatural?
A62640	How did the Fear of God secure Joseph''s fidelity to his Master, in the Case of a very great and violent Temptation?
A62640	How diligent and faithful was he in his Master''s service?
A62640	How earnestly doth he charge his Friends to be careful of them and kind to them?
A62640	How much better had it been for them, and how much better for you, that they had never been born?
A62640	I know not whether St. Paul, who had been taken up into the third Heavens, did by that Question of his, Where is the Disputer of THIS WORLD?
A62640	If out Children and Servants be not taught to fear and reverence God, how can we expect that they should reverence and regard us?
A62640	If the foregoing Discourse be true, what can be said to those who are guilty in the highest degree of the gross neglect of this great Duty?
A62640	If thou hast g ● thered nothing in thy Youth, how canst thou expect to find any thing in thine Age?
A62640	If we offer up the lame in Sacrifice, is it not evil?
A62640	Is it not a righteous thing with God to take away his Blessings from us, when we deny Him this just and easy Tribute of Praise and Thanksgiving?
A62640	Is the Giver of all good things unworthy to receive from us any thing that is good?
A62640	Is this an address ● it to be made to a wise man, much less to the all- wise and just Judge of the World?
A62640	It is the Apostle''s Argument, Thou therefore that teachest another, teachest thou not thy self?
A62640	Nay, does he not carry on a most malicious design to make us for ever miserable?
A62640	Shall not God visit for this horrible Ingratitude?
A62640	So that if the Seeds of Religion and Virtue be not planted in our younger years, what is to be expected in old Age?
A62640	Thou that sayest they must not swear, dost thou profane the Name of God by customary Oaths and Curses?
A62640	Thou that teachest thy Children to speak truth, dost thou tell a lye?
A62640	Was he our Creator, or can he make us happy?
A62640	What an admirable Servant to Abraham was the Steward of his House, Eliezer of Damascus?
A62640	What will you do in the day of your distress, who have neglected God in your most flourishing and prosperous condition?
A62640	What will you say to Him in a dying hour, who scarce ever had one serious thought of him all your Life?
A62640	What?
A62640	What?
A62640	When will you think of beginning a good course, if not now?
A62640	Whom shall he make to understand Doctrine?
A62640	Whom shall he make to understand doctrine?
A62640	Whom shall he teach knowledge?
A62640	Whom shall he teach knowledge?
A62640	Why do you not travel in birth till Christ be formed in them?
A62640	Why do you such things?
A62640	With what reason canst thou expect that thy Children should follow thy good Instructions, when thou thy self givest them an ill Example?
A62640	Would it not strike any of us with horror to be thus challenged and reproached by our Children in that great and terrible Day of the Lord?
A62640	Would not such a heavy Charge as this make every joint of you to tremble?
A62640	Would we have dutiful and obedient Children, diligent and faithful Servants?
A62640	and if we offer up the blind, is it not evil?
A62640	the Church err?
A62640	why do you toil to get Estates for your Children, when you take no care of their Education?
A62640	will you be wiser than your Rulers and Governors?
A66062	''T is made a question amongst some, Which is most eligible, whether to have one friend more, or one enemy less?
A66062	''T is this, How may this consist with that zeal and strictness of duty which we are obliged unto?
A66062	13.32?
A66062	23.33?
A66062	3.2?
A66062	And according to this, what would become of peace and society?
A66062	And in brief, how they should so order their conversations, as to be both accepted of God, and approved of men?
A66062	And then besides where would this principle end?
A66062	And then presently after, Who is he that will harm you if you be followers of that which is good?
A66062	And what advantage is there for a man to be first or second in an evil action?
A66062	And what can be said more highly in the commendation of any thing?
A66062	And which is most desirable, to have Christ at the last day to be our debtor and rewarder, or our Enemy and Revenger?
A66062	Be not righteous over much, neither make thy self over wise, why shouldst thou destroy thy self?
A66062	Beware of dogs; and the Galatians, Fools, 3.1?
A66062	But man dieth and wasteth away, yea man giveth up the Ghost, and where is he?
A66062	But this must needs be of very dangerous consequence: For if this course be admitted, where shall it end?
A66062	But what must have been the consequence of this?
A66062	But what then may some say, should we be of no opinion in such things?
A66062	But you will say, are there any such vile wretches in the world?
A66062	But you will say, what are these other ingredients?
A66062	Do not I hate them O Lord that hate thee?
A66062	Et quid refert primus pecces an ultimus?
A66062	For if you love them that love you, what reward have you, do not even Publicans and sinners the same?
A66062	For reputation or honour: Wicked men are fools in the phrase of the Text; and what credit can a wise man expect by conversing with fools?
A66062	Hath he forgiven my Talents, that I may rigorously exact the pence from my brother?
A66062	Have we deserved it from him?
A66062	He was a good man that said, Who can understand his errors?
A66062	How can such persons answer it then, when they shall expect mercy for themselves, and yet have not been ready to shew it to others?
A66062	How is it possible for a man that hath any love or zeal for God to delight in those by whom He is continually dishonoured and provoked?
A66062	How men should demean themselves in matters of lesser moment?
A66062	I Easily foresee that in this censorious and inquisitive Age two Questions will be asked concerning the publishing of these Sermons, Why no sooner?
A66062	I appeal to every mans experience; did you ever know any man convinced or converted by this wrathful boistrous way?
A66062	If he should be severe to mark what is done amiss, who might abide it?
A66062	If men do not believe these things, why do they pretend to be Christians?
A66062	If they do believe them, how is it possible they should walk so unanswerably to them?
A66062	If we can not stop at the first blow, why should we expect that our adversary should stop at the second?
A66062	In what method the obligation of things is to be stated?
A66062	Is he a friend?
A66062	Is he a good man?
A66062	Is he a profest enemy?
A66062	Is he a wicked person?
A66062	Is he thus favourable to me for this end, that I may be severe and cruel to others?
A66062	May not this be said to be a gift and a privilege, rather than a duty; and the want of it, a defect or unhappiness, rather than a sin?
A66062	Must we all turn Scepticks, and be indifferent to every thing, as if there could be no certainty?
A66062	Now the Question is, How these examples may consist with this Doctrine concerning soft words?
A66062	Now, who knows not, that it is above the power of any natural wisdom or knowledge fully to discover to us the deformity of our natural states?
A66062	O thou wicked servant, I forgive thee all thy debt, shouldst thou not also have had compassion on thy fellow servant, even as I had pity on thee?
A66062	Or can a man walk barefoot upon burning coals and yet not hurt himself?
A66062	Ought ye not to walk in the fear of God, because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies?
A66062	Quid facit in pectore Christiano luporum feritas, Canum rabies?
A66062	Should''st thou love them that hate the Lord?
A66062	Therefore why should not that likewise be destroyed by fire?
A66062	They must lay up for their children: Why?
A66062	To examine whether we are not guilty of this sin?
A66062	To examine whether we our selves are not guilty of this sin?
A66062	We may harden them in their impenitency, blemish our profession; and what outward gain can be sufficient compensation for such damages?
A66062	What are the main things to be contended for about it?
A66062	What by revenging our selves?
A66062	What man is he that would see good days?
A66062	What?
A66062	Where as there is envying, and strife, and division amongst you, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
A66062	Wherein it chiefly consists?
A66062	Whether to add to our help, or substract from our opposition?
A66062	Who is he that will harm you, if you be followers of that which is good?
A66062	Why may not falshood be obtruded upon us on the same account?
A66062	Wilt thou not then be afraid of the power?
A66062	With what face or confidence can any man ask mercy for himself, who is not ready to shew it to others?
A66062	Ye know the issue of this humble demeanour?
A66062	and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
A66062	doth it not rather alienate mens minds, and set them at a further distance?
A66062	of so much worth to be so unworthily used by such an one?
A66062	or, Why at all?
A66062	such a man as he?
A66062	would not every mans heart rise up with much keenness and indignation against the very mention of such a monster?
A62619	Again; What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
A62619	And again, Is there any God besides me?
A62619	And can it then be reasonable to suppose such a thing?
A62619	And can they discern no Difficulty, no Absurdity in this?
A62619	And is it not every whit as possible for God, if he so please, to unite himself to human Nature, as it is for the Soul to be united to the Body?
A62619	And that the Apostle describes Idolatry to be, the giving service, or worship, to things which by Nature are no Gods?
A62619	And what are we, that the eternal and only begotten Son of God should condescend to do all this for us?
A62619	And what is this less in effect than to say, That there are three Gods?
A62619	And why may not the Chaos signify that state of darkness and ignorance in which the World was before the giving of the Law by Moses?
A62619	And will they in good earnest contest this matter with us, that the giving Divine Worship to a mere Creature is not Idolatry?
A62619	Are there no Mysteries in Religion?
A62619	Are we not all the Sons of Adam, who was the Son of God?
A62619	But in the mean time where is ingenuity and love of Truth?
A62619	But to what purpose?
A62619	But why then did they not do it?
A62619	Did he not appear the first time without Sin?
A62619	Do they consider how often God hath declar''d that he will not give his glory to another?
A62619	For had Sin been so easily forgiven, who would have been sensible of the great evil of it, or afraid to offend for the future?
A62619	For how can this possibly agree with that which follows and is given as the reason why Christ is said to be the first- born of every Creature?
A62619	For what are We?
A62619	For why should we take upon us to set limits to infinite Wisdom, and pretend to know the utmost extent of it?
A62619	His vouchsafing to assume our Nature, and to reside and converse so long with us?
A62619	How is that?
A62619	Is it now possible for any man to read this Passage and yet not to be convinced that the Disciples understood our Saviour to speak literally?
A62619	Is there not One God, and are we not all his Offspring?
A62619	Men may eternally wrangle about any thing, but what a frivolous contention, what a trifling in serious matters, what barretrie in Divinity is this?
A62619	Mother of our Lord, how should our Souls, upon that blessed occasion, magnify the Lord, and our Spirits rejoyce in God our Saviour?
A62619	Now where doth the force of this Argument lye, if not in this?
A62619	That He should submit to so poor and low a Condition, to such dreadful and disgraceful Sufferings for our sakes?
A62619	That the High and Glorious Majesty of Heaven should stoop down to the Earth, and be contented to be clothed with Misery and Mortality?
A62619	The Word was made flesh: What a step is here made in order to the reconciling of Men to God?
A62619	What an everlasting Fountain of the most invaluable Blessings and Benefits to Mankind is the Incarnation of the Son of God?
A62619	What can be the meaning of this Caution?
A62619	What is the mystery of this?
A62619	What shall perish, and wax old, and be changed?
A62619	What shall we render to thee for such mighty love, for such inestimable benefits as thou hast purchas''d for us and art ready to confer upon us?
A62619	What?
A62619	What?
A62619	Who can believe this?
A62619	Why do we then deal treacherously every man against his brother?
A62619	Why?
A62619	Would not this be in effect to say, that God hath written a great Book to puzzle and confound, but not to instruct and teach Mankind?
A62619	Yes, say they, why not?
A62619	and what is the Connection of it with the foregoing Discourse?
A62619	but may ask further, Is God divided?
A62619	hath not One God created us?
A62619	how great is thy Goodness?
A62619	how infinite are thy tender Mercies and Compassions to Mankind?
A62619	no Absurdity in a God as it were but of yesterday?
A62619	no absurdity in bringing Idolatry by a back- door into the Christian Religion, one main Design whereof was to banish Idolatry out of the World?
A62619	nothing that feels like inconsistency and Contradiction?
A62619	nothing that is contrary to Reason and good sense?
A62586	10 How it can be proved that God hath Revealed it?
A62586	2 What is Faith or Belief in General?
A62586	5 Why we believe the Doctrine of the Trinity?
A62586	A seasonable vindication of the B. Trinity being an answer to this question, why do you believe the doctrine of the Trinity?
A62586	And how can there be Three peculiar Substances, and yet but One entire and indivisible Substance?
A62586	And if there are Three Persons which have the Divine Nature attributed to them; what must we do in this Case?
A62586	And if these Three Divine Persons, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, are Three Gods, is it not a Contradiction to say, there is but One God?
A62586	And is it not equally absurd to Declare, That One Man is these Three Men?
A62586	And must I renounce the Trinity, because I reject Transubstantiation?
A62586	And then, say they, are not these Two Doctrines loaded with the like Absurdities and Contradictions?
A62586	And, What Doctrines concerning it are proposed to our Belief?
A62586	Are not Peter, James, and John, Three distinct Humane Persons?
A62586	Are not Peter, James, and John, Three distinct different Men?
A62586	Are not here Three Gods?
A62586	Are not the Divine Persons Infinite, as well as the Divine Nature?
A62586	Are not the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost( according to the Athanasian Creed) Three distinct different Divine Persons?
A62586	Are there no Mysteries in Religion?
A62586	Are they not Three Almighties?
A62586	Are they not Three Gods?
A62586	As to the First; Is not the Trinity as Incomprehensible as Transubstantiation, and as such equally to be rejected?
A62586	Being an Answer to this Question, Why do you believe the Doctrine of the Trinity?
A62586	Being an Answer to this Question, Why do you believe the Doctrine of the Trinity?
A62586	But are there not several other kinds of Assent, besides Faith, by which the Soul doth receive and embrace whatsoever appeareth to be true?
A62586	But can these Men of Sense and Reason think, that the Point in Controversy ever was, Whether in Numbers, One could be Three, or Three One?
A62586	But how can these Unitarians pretend, that the Doctrine of the Trinity is contrary to Reason?
A62586	But in what manner doth his Lordship propose to Defend it?
A62586	But is it not trifling to prove a Doctrine by Scripture, which( as the Socinians pretend) is contrary to Reason?
A62586	But is there nothing further Objected against the Doctrine of the B. Trinity, wherein I may be instructed by you?
A62586	But the Question is; Whether that Substance must be divided, or not?
A62586	But what of all this?
A62586	But what saith St. Augustin to this?
A62586	But what then?
A62586	But what''s this to the purpose?
A62586	But when you have reckon''d them, what is it you have been counting?
A62586	But wherein lies this Impossibility?
A62586	But who affirms, There are Three Gods?
A62586	Can One whole entire indivisible Substance be actually divided into Three Substances?
A62586	Do they suppose the Divine Nature capable of such Division and Separation by Individuals, as Human Nature is?
A62586	Do they think there is no Difference between an infinitely perfect Being, and such finite limited Creatures as Individuals among Men are?
A62586	Do you believe Transubstantiation?
A62586	Do you think me such a Fool, that I can not count, One, Two, and Three?
A62586	Filium quem dicitis, Deum dicitis?
A62586	First; Let us examine, whether there be equal Reason for the Belief of these Two Doctrines?
A62586	For is not this great skill in these Matters, to make such a Parallel between three Persons in the Godhead, and Peter, James and John?
A62586	For what reason?
A62586	Had he no more skill in Arithmetick, than to say, there are Three, and yet but One?
A62586	Have you nothing further to say in this matter?
A62586	How can any Man of Sense be satisfied with such kind of Arguments as these?
A62586	How do you prove there is not?
A62586	How then can you pretend to prove a Trinity of Persons from the Scriptures?
A62586	How then do you prove that God hath Revealed it?
A62586	How then is this Assent which we call Faith, specified and distinguished from those other kinds of Assent?
A62586	How, and in what manner have they attempted to prove it?
A62586	However,( may these Unitarians reply) Have you not found it in the Athanasian Creed?
A62586	Is it not a Contradiction to affirm, That Peter, James and John, being Three Men, are but One Man?
A62586	Is it not a Contradiction to say, That Peter is James, or that James and John are Peter?
A62586	Is it then your Opinion, that this Hypothesis, of Three distinct Substances in the Trinity, can scarce be Defended?
A62586	Is this Explication of the Trinity, by Three distinct Infinite Minds and Substances, Orthodox, or not?
A62586	Must we cast off the Unity of the Divine Essence?
A62586	Must we reject those Scriptures which attribute Divinity to the Son and Holy Ghost, as well as to the Father?
A62586	Non tres Omnipotentes?
A62586	Now what Reply hath his Lordship made to this?
A62586	Now who should not scruple an Opinion perfectly parallel with Transubstantiation, and equally fruitful in Incongruities and Contradictions?
A62586	Or how the Parts of Matter hold together?
A62586	P. 1 What is meant by this Word Trinity, and what Doctrines concerning it are proposed to our Belief?
A62586	Q. Doth not the Athanasian Creed?
A62586	Q. Pray let me hear it?
A62586	Quid sunt isti Tres?
A62586	Spiritum Sanctum quem dicitis, Deum dicitis?
A62586	St. Augustin mentions it as such when he saith; The Infidels sometimes ask us, What do you call the Father?
A62586	WHY do you believe the Doctrine of the Trinity?
A62586	Well then, if the Trinity implies no less Contradiction than Transubstantiation; why ca n''t we say, that it can not be contained in Scripture?
A62586	What Answer therefore can you return to this?
A62586	What Grounds have they for such a Charge as this, of Contradiction and Impossibility?
A62586	What are these Three?
A62586	What do you mean by this word Trinity?
A62586	What is Faith, or Belief in General?
A62586	What is it to be Credible?
A62586	What is it?
A62586	What is meant by this word Assent?
A62586	What is the Formal Object of Faith?
A62586	What is the Material Object of Faith?
A62586	What is this Object of Faith?
A62586	What the Holy Ghost?
A62586	What the Son?
A62586	What then is that kind of Assent, which is called Faith?
A62586	Where hath God told us, That there are Three distinct Persons, in the same undivided Divine Essence and Nature?
A62586	Who doubts it?
A62586	Who is he that comprehends either the Structure, or the Reason of the Powers of Seminal Forms or Seeds?
A62586	Who revived this old Objection, and how came it now to be brought again upon the Stage?
A62586	Why do you repeat the word Credible, and say Credible as Credible?
A62586	Why then are new Explications started, and Disputes raised and carried on so warmly about them?
A62586	Will men never learn to distinguish between Numbers and the Nature of Things?
A62586	Will you not allow me to believe the Trinity, unless I will believe Transubstantiation?
A62586	Will you please to explain this more fully, that I may better understand it?
A62586	non tres Dii?
A62638	And art thou not yet resolved to leave it?
A62638	And can such a Thought as this enter into the Heart of a considerate Man?
A62638	And can there be any difficulty, for a Man to be resolved what is to be done in such a Case?
A62638	And can there then be any before whom, and against whom we should be more ashamed to offend?
A62638	And how is this done but by Resolution?
A62638	And if any Man ask me, where I find this distinction in Scripture, between a general and particular Repentance?
A62638	And if this be not enough, St. Matthew useth a larger expression, How much more shall your heavenly Father give good things to them that ask him?
A62638	And suppose this should happen to thee, what dost thou imagine would become of thee?
A62638	And this I take to be the meaning of that question in the Psalmist, Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge?
A62638	And well pleased if they be but melancholy for their faults, tho''they ne- never mend them?
A62638	And what can be imagined beyond this?
A62638	And what did the Apostles preach, but to the same purpose?
A62638	And what is this, but a firm, stedfast, and unalterable Resolution?
A62638	And who is sufficient to speak to either of these Arguments?
A62638	And why do we not Consider these things, which are of so infinite Concernment to us?
A62638	And why should any man hope for the Mercy of God upon other Terms, than those which he hath so plainly and peremptorily declared?
A62638	Art thou resolved to leave Sin, because it is so great an Evil?
A62638	As the Apostle reasons in another Case, Doth God take care of Oxen?
A62638	But do not the Ministers of the Gospel exercise this power of remitting sins in Baptism?
A62638	Can the Ethiopian change his Skin, or the Leopard his Spots?
A62638	Can we be sad and melancholy for temporal Losses and Sufferings, and refuse to be comforted?
A62638	Can we weep for our dead Friends?
A62638	Didst thou but see, and know, and feel, what the miserable do in Hell, thou couldst not linger thus, thou couldst not continue so long unresolved?
A62638	For how art thou sorry for doing of it, if thou continuest to do it; if thou wilt go on to do it and do it again?
A62638	For what can he that believes not one syllable of the Bible, do worse than this comes to?
A62638	For who can hope, that a Man will forsake his Sins, when he is not so much as ashamed of them?
A62638	Hast thou any thing now to plead for Sin, which thou didst not know or consider before?
A62638	Hast thou found upon Tryal, that Holiness and Virtue are but empty Names, and that there is nothing in them?
A62638	Hath God alter''d his opinion of it, or is he become more favourable to it than he was?
A62638	Hath he this Consideration of our Bodies, which are but the brutish part of the Man?
A62638	Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge?
A62638	Have we not reason then to be ashamed of Sin, which casts such a reproach of Ignorance and Rashness upon us?
A62638	How are we divided and distracted, when our Reason and Judgment direct us one way; and our Lusts and Affections biass us to the contrary?
A62638	How dost thou hate thy Sin, if thou enjoy the Benefit and reap the Advantage of it?
A62638	How many have been cut off in their Irresolution?
A62638	How many inward Motions had I to that purpose?
A62638	How often did my own Reason and Conscience, and the holy Spirit of God, by his frequent and friendly suggestions, put me upon this?
A62638	How often was I admonish''d and convinced of the necessity of changing my course?
A62638	How often was I just upon the brink of resolving?
A62638	If a Son shall ask bread of any of you that is a Father, will he give him a stone?
A62638	If any now ask, why then are not all men Happy?
A62638	If they are not ashamed of them, why do they not bring them into the broad Light, and shew them openly, if they think they will endure it?
A62638	Impenitence in a Heathen is a great Sin; else how should God judge the World?
A62638	Nothing surely is more reasonable than Repentance; and yet how hard is it to bring men to it?
A62638	Or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a Serpent?
A62638	Or if he shall ask an Egg, will he offer him a Scorpion?
A62638	Seest thou( says he) a Man diligent in business?
A62638	Such Persons who glory in that which ought to be their shame, what can their end be but destruction?
A62638	That he hath set the Devils at Liberty, and releast them from their Chains of darkness, and hath quenched and put out the fire of Hell?
A62638	That there is not that Pleasure and Peace in keeping the Commandments of God, which thou wert told of?
A62638	The Lord said unto Cain, why art thou wrath?
A62638	The reflection upon our Sins afterwards is cause of shame and confusion to us; What fruit had you then in those things, whereof ye are now ashamed?
A62638	Then came also the Publicans to be Baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
A62638	Then( i. e.) at the time when you committed those Sins, had you any present Advantage by them?
A62638	Then,( i. e.) When ye committed those Sins, had you any present Advantage by them?
A62638	Thus Ephraim when he repented of his Idolatry, he utterly renounced it, saying, What have I to do any more with Idols?
A62638	Turn ye, turn ye, from your evils ways; for why will ye die, O House of Israel?
A62638	Were they ashamed when they committed abominations?
A62638	Were they ashamed, when they had committed abomination?
A62638	Wert thou mistaken before about the Nature of Sin, and the pernicious consequences of it; or about the Nature of God and Goodness?
A62638	What anxiety and confusion is there in our Spirits, whilst we are doubtful and undetermined about such matters?
A62638	What can be more proper when we come to this Sacrament, than the renewing of our Repentance?
A62638	What did Christ preach to the Jews, but that they would repent of their sins, and believe on him as the Messias?
A62638	What doth the Profane Man get by his contempt of Religion?
A62638	What fruit had ye then in those things, whereof ye are now ashamed?
A62638	What fruit had ye then in those things, whereof ye are now ashamed?
A62638	What fruit had ye then in those things, whereof ye are now ashamed?
A62638	What fruit had ye then in those things, whereof ye are now ashamed?
A62638	What fruit had ye then in those things, whereof ye are now ashamed?
A62638	What fruit had ye then in those things, whereof ye are now ashamed?
A62638	What fruit had ye then in those things?
A62638	What fruit had ye then in those things?
A62638	What fruit had you then in those things, whereof you are now ashamed?
A62638	What is it that puts thee upon this Resolution of leaving thy Sins, and urgeth thee to do it at all?
A62638	What is that?
A62638	What regard will he then have to his own Image, that spark of Divinity which is for ever to reside in these Bodies?
A62638	When shall it once be?
A62638	Where the Aggravation of the one''s Guilt above the other?
A62638	Where the Justice of punishing the Impenitence of Chorazin and Bethsaida, more than theirs of Tyre and Sidon?
A62638	Where then is the Reason of upbraiding the Impenitence of the one, more than of the other?
A62638	Whether Faith and Repentance and Sincere Obedience be not the Terms of Salvation, and the necessary Conditions of Happiness?
A62638	Whether Jesus Christ be not the Messias and Saviour of the world?
A62638	Whether good men shall be eternally and unspeakably happy, and wicked men extreamly and everlastingly miserable?
A62638	Whether the preaching of Faith in Christ, among those who are already Christians, be at all necessary?
A62638	Whether there be a Heaven and Hell?
A62638	Whether there shall be a future Judgment, when all men shall be sentenced according to their works?
A62638	Who can Comprehend the vast significancy of those Expressions, Fear him, who after he hath killed, can destroy both body and soul in Hell?
A62638	Who can tell, if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
A62638	Who can understand his errours?
A62638	Why do they not escape Ruin and Destruction?
A62638	Why dost thou not persist in it?
A62638	Why dost thou not pursue this Resolution?
A62638	Why should ye be smitten any more?
A62638	Why wilt thou make work for a sadder and longer Repentance, than that which thou dost now so carefully decline?
A62638	Why wilt thou then be so foolish, as to run thy self upon the evident hazard of losing Heaven, and being miserable for ever?
A62638	Will any wise Father or Prince accept less from his Children and Subjects?
A62638	Wilt thou not be made clean?
A62638	With what Triumph and Exultation doth the Blessed Apostle St. Paul, upon the review of his Life, discourse concerning his Death and Dissolution?
A62638	Would''st thou have yet a little longer time to deliberate, whether thou should''st repent and forsake thy Sins, or not?
A62638	Wouldst not thou then wish a thousand times, that thou hadst resolved in time?
A62638	You will say, why do I call Repentance a Doctrine of the Gospel?
A62638	and again, It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God?
A62638	and have we no sense of that heavy load of Guilt, of that body of death, which we carry about with us?
A62638	and of Imprudence likewise and Indiscretion?
A62638	and why is thy Countenance fall''n?
A62638	that the reflection upon it afterwards causeth Shame; What fruit had you then in those things, whereof ye are now ashamed?
A62638	what comfort can we give to men in such a case?
A62638	will they be satisfied with sighs and tears, as well as with Obedience?
A62570	A little will serve for our Passage and Accommodation in this Journey; and beyond that, why should we so earnestly covet and seek more?
A62570	And beyond that why should we so earnestly covet more, and trouble our selves for that which is not necessary to our Journey?
A62570	And did not following Councils proceed upon the same Rule?
A62570	And for the pleasing of our selves for a little while, to make our selves miserable for ever?
A62570	And if Blood be not offered; how is it Propitiatory?
A62570	And if I speak the truth, why do ye not believe me?
A62570	And if it were; why to his Successors at Rome, rather than at Antioch, where he was first, and unquestionably Bishop?
A62570	And is an Eternal Inheritance in the Heavens not worth the looking after?
A62570	And is there any need now, to exhort men to hold fast the profession of Faith, when the danger of drawing back is so evident, and so terrible?
A62570	And is this Consistent with a plain Constitution of our Lord''s, makeing St. Peter Supream Head and Pastor of the Christian Church?
A62570	And now that my Race is almost run, and my Course just finished, how loth should I be to be brought back, and made to begin again?
A62570	And the High Priest asked them, saying, Did we not straitly command you, that you should not teach in this Name?
A62570	And this being admitted, how easie is it for them to confirm and prove whatever Doctrines and Practices they have a mind to establish?
A62570	And why should I not be as much afraid to commit any Sin, as if Hell were naked before me, and I saw the astonishing Miseries of the Damned?
A62570	And why should we be daunted at any Suffering; if God be pleased to increase our Strength, in proportion to the Sharpness of our Sufferings?
A62570	And would they have us shew them a Visible Church, that opposed these Errors and Corruptions in their Church, before ever they appeared?
A62570	Are the slight and transitory Enjoyments of this World worth so much Thought and Care?
A62570	As for this present Life, and the Enjoyments of it, What do we see in them, that should make us so strangely to dote upon them?
A62570	As for this present Life, and the Enjoyments of it; What is it that we see in them that should make us so strangely to dote upon them?
A62570	But did any of the ancient Councils of the Christian Church lay down this Rule, and proceed upon it?
A62570	But do they find any footsteps of such a Style in Ecclesiastical History?
A62570	But how do they prove, that the Roman Church is the Catholick Church?
A62570	But how little of this is to be seen among Christians?
A62570	But if the enjoyment of these things were sure to be of the same date with our lives, yet how short a duration is that compared with Eternity?
A62570	But suppose this to have been so; where doth it appear, by any Constitution of our Saviour, that this Authority was derived to his Successors?
A62570	But what Testimony would this be against them, if Christians were bound to deny Christ at their Command?
A62570	But what( says he) if we be commanded by our lawful Prince to say with our Tongues, we believe not; must we obey such Commands?
A62570	But will any Man admit this way of proceeding in a Temporal Case?
A62570	By what Authority then hath the Council of Trent set up this new Rule, unknown to the Christian Church for 1500 Years?
A62570	Can any thing be more shameless than this?
A62570	Can we be so solicitous and careful about the Concernment of a few Days; and is it nothing to us what becomes of us for ever?
A62570	Did they always believe Transubstantiation?
A62570	Does St. Paul acknowledg any Superiority of St. Peter over him?
A62570	For if Blood be offered in the Sacrifice of the Mass, how is it an unbloody Sacrifice?
A62570	For upon these terms, who can know whether any Man be a Priest, and really ordained; or not?
A62570	For what Advantage is there in Life?
A62570	For what other Reason can they have to conceal it from them?
A62570	For what should Men be perswaded to be acquainted withal; if not with That which is the great Instrument of our Salvation?
A62570	For when the Young Man ask''d him; Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may inherit Eternal Life?
A62570	For( as our Saviour argues) What is a man profited, if he gain the whole World, and lose his own Soul?
A62570	He sets before them in this Chapter several examples in the Old Testament of those,( who tho?
A62570	He would ask us, why we believe that Book?
A62570	His Words are these: What if the Soveraign forbid us to believe in Christ?
A62570	Hope that is seen, is not Hope; for what a Man sees, why doth he yet Hope for it?
A62570	How deep then must it sink into the heart of a Father to give up his innocent Son to death?
A62570	How shall they believe in him, of whom they have not Heard?
A62570	In what Father, in what Council before that of Trent, do they find Christ to have Instituted just Seven Sacraments, neither more nor less?
A62570	Lord who shall dwell in thy Tabernacle, who shall dwell in thy holy Hill?
A62570	Nay rather, what Labour and Trouble is there not in it?
A62570	Nay, does he not upon several occasions declare himself equal to the chiefest Apostles, even to St. Peter himself?
A62570	Nay, is not the Doctrine of the Scriptures, and of the Ancient Fathers plainly against all these Practices?
A62570	Nay, whether he be a Christian, and have been truly baptized; or not?
A62570	Or what shall a Man give in exchange for his Soul?
A62570	Or what shall a Man give in exchange for his Soul?
A62570	Quae Miseri lucis tam dira cupido?
A62570	Quis novus hic furor est, ne moriare, mori?
A62570	Stedfast and unmovable, in what?
A62570	Suppose we had to deal with one that is a Stranger, and Enemy to Christianity, What means are proper to be used to gain him over to it?
A62570	Suppose we would live alone; How few are there that can enjoy themselves tolerably alone for any considerable time?
A62570	That Book which was written on purpose to reveal and convey to Men the Knowledge of God, and of his Will, and their Duty?
A62570	To what purpose should we be so cunning, when our abode in this world is so short and uncertain?
A62570	Was Purgatory always believed in the Roman Church, as it is now defined in the Council of Trent?
A62570	Was this always an Article of their Faith, and necessary to be believed by all Christians?
A62570	We will admit at present this to be the first Enquiry; Which is the True Church?
A62570	What argument would it be of any Mans virtue to forbear sinning, after he had been in Hell, and seen the miserable end of Sinners?
A62570	What can be more bloody than Blood?
A62570	What can be more severe and terrible than these expressions?
A62570	What is there then, that should move any reasonable Man to forsake the Communion of our Church, and to quit the Reformed Religion?
A62570	What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole World, and lose his own Soul?
A62570	What think we would a Judge say to such a bold and senseless Pleader?
A62570	What, if for fear of Men, and what they can do to me, I incur the Wrath and Displeasure of Almighty God?
A62570	Where then is the Blessing spoken of and signified by the great Words of that Promise, that God was their God?
A62570	Which of you convinceth me of sin?
A62570	Which of you,( says he) intending to build a Tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
A62570	Why should any man by dissembling his Judgment, or acting contrary to it, incur at once the displeasure of God, and the discontent of his own mind?
A62570	Why should we at any time deal unjustly, to attain any of this World''s Goods?
A62570	Why would he refuse a Kingdom which was offered to him with so fair an oportunity of doing so much good?
A62570	With what Constancy and Evenness of Mind did Socrates receive the Sentence of Death?
A62570	Would not this be a wild Bargain, and a mad Exchange, for any Temporal Gain and Advantage, to lose the things that are Eternal?
A62570	and consequently whether any of his Admistrations be valid, and we have any Benefit and Advantage by them?
A62570	and who gave them this Authority?
A62570	or is there any reason and occasion for it?
A62570	or what shall a Man give in exchange for his Soul?
A62570	or what shall a man give in exchange for his Soul?
A62570	or what shall a man give in exchange for his Soul?
A62570	that is, of Falsehood and Error?
A66053	( i. e.) What was the chief employment or business, which they should apply themselves to in this world?
A66053	12, 13, God is greater than man, why dost thou strive against him?
A66053	Among all these Innocent Offices and Rites of the Primitive Christians, was there any thing of prayer for souls in Purgatory?
A66053	And Tully asserts it impossible to conceive of God without this perfection; Nos Deum nisi sempiternum intelligere quî possumus?
A66053	And can any one judge it reasonable, that God should have less power over us, than we have over the works of our hands?
A66053	And can any thing be more reasonable, than for that to be the chief business of a man''s life, which is the chief end of his Being?
A66053	And can there be any thing better than what God appoints?
A66053	And do the Prophets, or Princes, live for ever?
A66053	And if it be supernatural, that grants the thing I am proving, namely such a Supreme Being as can alter the course of nature?
A66053	And if there be any such, why are they not produced?
A66053	And in speaking of these, where shall I begin?
A66053	And is it not a shame for such an one, to be a slave to every slight trouble?
A66053	And on the other side, if we consult experience; Who are the men most obnoxious to diseases?
A66053	And then what ground can there be for any pretence to Religion?
A66053	And what if they fall short of the shadow, when they have the substance, in a better and true Immortality?
A66053	And who art thou O man that repliest against God?
A66053	And who shall take care for the adjudging of them to their proper season?
A66053	Are these things Nothing in our sight?
A66053	As for Revenge, how could it enter into the breast of him that hated nothing but that which makes us hateful to God?
A66053	As for our fathers, where are they?
A66053	As for us that are now to try how we can bear the want of those many blessings we enjoyed in him; What shall we say?
A66053	Beasts and plants, the sun and stars; 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉; And what do you conceive your business to be?
A66053	But are all complaints then in affliction unlawful?
A66053	But now on the other side, what if there should be a Deity so holy, and just, and powerful, as is supposed?
A66053	But what is that which we should consider?
A66053	Can any rational man doubt, whether one of these were not a piece of Coyn, and the other a Grave- stone?
A66053	Can that man be thought to need any further confutation or pursuit, who is forced to fly to such a retreat?
A66053	Did not he appoint the time, and place, and part you are to act upon the Theater of this world?
A66053	Did not he give you a being in the world?
A66053	Do not fix your eye or your thoughts, chiefly upon the smart of them, without regarding the benefit of them?
A66053	Do they expect Mathematical proof and certainty in Moral things?
A66053	Do you consider what you are, and whence you came, and upon what business?
A66053	Do you not knowingly and wilfully entertain prejudices against such things?
A66053	For a man to take an Essay of the nature of any species of things from such particular instances, as in their kinds are monstrous?
A66053	For let it be but impartially considered; what is it, that such men would have?
A66053	From sickness and pain, from labour and danger, from sorrow, and fear, and care, and what not?
A66053	Have you been true to so much light as you have received?
A66053	He that gave hath power to take, and why should I resist?
A66053	He that gives to men understanding, shall not be know?
A66053	He that made the eye, shall be not see?
A66053	How furious at the churlishness of Nabal?
A66053	How is it possible for us to conceive of God, but as being Eternal?
A66053	How is it, that very probably a considerable part of it is yet unknown?
A66053	How much more, when for ought we know, they are taken away for our sins?
A66053	How passionate at the death of Absolom?
A66053	I would ask such, Have you seriously and impartially considered, what is alledged in this case?
A66053	If the Jews would say so too, what could we have more?
A66053	If the World had been eternal, How comes it to pass, that it is not every- where inhabited and cultivated?
A66053	If thou mayest refuse the condion or work assigned thee, why may not another do so, and according to this, what order could there be in the world?
A66053	In all this time, first of Pain, then of dreadful Apprehension, at last in the presence of Death; Who ever saw him dismaid?
A66053	Is there any Equity or the least colour of Reason in this?
A66053	Is there any thing imaginable more wild and extravagant amongst those in Bedlam, than this would be?
A66053	Nay when shall I end, if I say all that may be spoken?
A66053	Or have you not rather with- held it in unrighteousness?
A66053	Others are Lunaticks or Ideots, should any man from hence infer, that there is no such thing as Reason?
A66053	Quis dubitet, quin Mundus recens ac novus sit, cum Historia Graeca, bis mille annorum historiam vix contineat?
A66053	Quis hunc hominem dixerit?
A66053	Quis verò es tu?
A66053	Remember them, says the Apostle: What, those that are present?
A66053	Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?
A66053	Should not the nobility of our natures advance us to a more generous temper, and make us erect and chearful under such troubles?
A66053	Should not the potter have power over the clay?
A66053	So Tully relates of him, speaking to those of that Sect, Ubi igitur vestrum beatum& AEternum, quibus duobus verbis significatis Deum?
A66053	Some men are born blind, or have lost their sight, will it hence follow, that there is no such thing in nature as Light or Colour?
A66053	Thou foolish man( saith Epictetus) dost not thou desire that which may be most convenient for thee?
A66053	Thou hast set thy servant amongst them that eat at thine own table, what right therefore have I to cry any more unto the King?
A66053	Thus also hath it been with particular persons; Amongst the Heathen, what Elogies do we find in the honour of Socrates, Aristides, Cato, Epictetus?
A66053	Unde est haec inquam fatis avolsa voluntas?
A66053	Was there any thing of prayer to Saints departed this life?
A66053	What can be more obvious than to infer a supreme Deity, from that order and government we may behold amongst the heavenly Bodies?
A66053	What could be more inconsistent with the rules of Justice, and the wise ends of Government?
A66053	What else made the Egyptian Kings lay out their wealth on Pyramids, and the like stupendious buildings?
A66053	What kind of men are there any where, who have not of themselves this prenotion of a Deity?
A66053	What kind of persons are those who enjoy the best state of health and the longest lives?
A66053	What meant those in the unlettered Nations, by the much harder shifts they have made to convey any thing of themselves to Posterity?
A66053	What moved the old Greeks and the Romans, with so much care and expence to leave Statues and other Monuments, with Inscriptions of their names?
A66053	What reason have I to fight against God?
A66053	What will become of Israel now thou art gone?
A66053	What, with any intention to worship the Martyrs?
A66053	When for ought we know, it was because the age was not worthy of them?
A66053	Where is that blessed and eternal Being of yours?
A66053	Where is there any thing amongst those who professChristianity, better and more becomingly said to this purpose?
A66053	Whereas at another time, when he was not so careful to fix his thoughts upon this, how strangely is his carriage altered?
A66053	Whether Ideots are not the wisest of men, and all others the veryest fools, according as they are at the widest distance from them?
A66053	Whether lawful pleasures, which a man may reflect upon without any sense of guilt, be not much to be preferred before others?
A66053	Whether those intellectual delights that flow from the conscience of well- doing, be not much better than any sinful sensual pleasure?
A66053	Who ever found him surprized?
A66053	Who would not think such a man to be strangely wild, and irrational, who could frame to himself any real scruples from such Considerations as these?
A66053	Why doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sin?
A66053	Why may not a man refuse to obey God in what he commands, as well as to submit to him in what he inflicts?
A66053	Why should I desire things not desireable?
A66053	Will it therefore follow, that Honey is not naturally sweet to our taste, because a sick palate doth not judg it to be so?
A66053	Wo to him that striveth with his maker, shall the potsheard strive with the potsheards of the earth?
A66053	and how great is his bounty?
A66053	are they not such generally as are most vicious in their lives?
A66053	aut quare?
A66053	aut unde venisti?
A66053	endow you with such a nature?
A66053	how shall they to whom the Word of God never came be acquitted or condemned at the Great day?
A66053	how vile and despicable in comparison to him, and how unfit to judge of his ways?
A66053	or for preventing the total destruction of mankind?
A66053	or heard a word from him, unbecoming a wise man, and a true Christian?
A66053	or thy work, he hath no hands?
A66053	put you into such a condition, wherein you should be subject to his government and disposal?
A66053	sensual pleasures?
A66053	shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, what makest thou?
A66053	that any light affliction, which is but for a moment, should make our souls which are immortal to bow down under it?
A66053	what is man that thou art mindful of him, or the son of man that thou visitest him?
A66053	where are they to be found?
A66053	which are the two usual words whereby you describe the nature of God?
A66053	who hath bablings?
A66053	who hath contentions?
A66053	who hath redness of eyes?
A66053	who hath sorrow?
A66053	who hath wounds without cause?
A62644	After all that hath been said, some perhaps may ask, Is every good Man then secure from all Error and Mistake in Matters of Religion?
A62644	And doth not our Saviour use the same Metaphor concerning every Man that doth the Will of God?
A62644	And hath not our Saviour promised the same to every one that is obedient to his word?
A62644	And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
A62644	And is Eternal Life and Glory the only slight and inconsiderable thing, that is not worth our Care and Industry?
A62644	And is it not great pity, that they who are not far from the Kingdom of God, should fall short of it?
A62644	And is it not so to get an Estate, and to rise to any thing in this World?
A62644	And then how hard is it to be chearful, without being vain?
A62644	And thus I have done with the first thing I proposed to enquire into; namely, when Men may be truly said to Suffer for the Cause of Religion?
A62644	And what is not so, that is good for any thing?
A62644	And what will not Men do to obtain that?
A62644	And yet how do most of us Court this Temptation, and are forward to thrust and venture our selves upon it?
A62644	Besides, how can we expect that God should accept of any work that we do at such a time?
A62644	But do we not find the contrary in experience, that an honest Heart, and a weak Head do often meet together?
A62644	But it will be said, that in all these Cases the question is, what is the true Religion?
A62644	But now where are the Effects of true Religion, in the full compass and extent of it, to be found?
A62644	But sometimes ask your selves this question, what shall I do to be saved?
A62644	But to proceed, How hard a Matter is it, To be much in Company, and free in Conversation, and not to be infected by it?
A62644	But why could he not let the Barns he had stand, and build more?
A62644	But why wilt thou trust another with the disposal of thy Charity, rather than thy self?
A62644	Can any Man be concerned enough to bring about so great a good to himself?
A62644	Can there be any plainer Condition in the World, than is in those Words of our Saviour?
A62644	Did I say really so?
A62644	Do we desire not to be mistaken about the Mind of God?
A62644	Does it not require great labour, and perpetual drudging, to excel in any kind of Knowledge, to be Master of any Art or Profession?
A62644	For can we think, that the Scripture saith in vain, Wait on the Lord, and be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart?
A62644	For what Reason?
A62644	For what if some did not believe, shall their unbelief make the Faith( or Fidelity) of God without effect?
A62644	For where is the difference between these Expressions?
A62644	For why art thou Rich, and another Poor?
A62644	From whom may we expect so tender a Regard and Consideration, of our Case, and all the Circumstances of it; as from this great Founder and Benefactor?
A62644	God says to him, thou Fool, this night shall thy Soul be required of thee; and then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?
A62644	Hath God promised to build his Church upon a Rock?
A62644	How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another?
A62644	How difficult for a Man, in this dangerous and imperfect state, to be in any measure either so wise or so good as he ought?
A62644	How difficult is it to have a Mind equal to every Condition, and to be content with mean and moderate things?
A62644	How hard is it to hit upon the just temper of Wisdom and Innocency; to be Wise, and hurt no body; to be Innocent, without being Silly?
A62644	How is he, through the greedy desire of having, rack''d between the hopes of getting, and the fear of missing what he seeks?
A62644	How is that?
A62644	How many Temptations is the Covetous Man exposed to in the getting, and in the securing, and in the spending and enjoying of a great Estate?
A62644	How many do almost starve themselves in the midst of Plenty and Abundance?
A62644	How next to impossible is it to be strict and severe in our Lives, without being sower?
A62644	How shall they be able to stand in the Judgment of the great Day?)
A62644	I proceed now to the Second Enquiry; namely, how far Men may rely upon the Providence of God, to bear them out in such Sufferings?
A62644	I will be with you always, and I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee?
A62644	I will be with you, and I will make my abode with him?
A62644	I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee?
A62644	If God be for us, who or what can stand against us?
A62644	In a word, is there any thing in the World worthy the having, that is to be gotten without pains?
A62644	In short, How difficult is it, to have regard to ● ll God''s Commandments, and to hate every evil and false way?
A62644	Is Religion difficult?
A62644	Is it fit that so great a good should be exposed to the faint and idle Wishes, to the cheap and lazy Endeavours of sloathful Men?
A62644	Is it promis''d to the Church, or to the Pastors of it, I will be with you always?
A62644	Is it promised to the Church, that the Spirit shall lead her into all Truth?
A62644	Is not the Law a difficult and crabbed study?
A62644	Le ● t I be full, and deny thee, and say, who is the Lord?
A62644	Let not all your enquiry be, what shall I eat?
A62644	M ● ny are the afflictions of the Righteous, but the Lord delivereth him out of all?
A62644	Man''s goings are of the Lord, how can a Man then understand his own ways?
A62644	Now can any Man love the Giver, for bestowing such Gifts upon him, which if he do as he ought, he must not love?
A62644	Now to what purpose should any Man desire to increase his Wealth so vastly beyond the proportion of his Necessities, and real Occasions?
A62644	Now to what purpose should any Man desire to increase his Wealth so vastly, and beyond the proportion of his Necessities and real Occasions?
A62644	Secondly, What is here meant by committing the keeping of our Souls to God, as to a faithful Creator?
A62644	Some perhaps might ask, Is every good Man then secure from all Error and Mista ● e in Ma ● ters of Religion?
A62644	Take ye no thought, saying, what shall we eat?
A62644	That an honest Heart, and a weak Head, do often meet together?
A62644	That is, what good then will all these Things do thee, when thou hast no farther use and occasion for them?
A62644	The Expressions to be explained are these: What is meant by those that suffer according to the will of God?
A62644	The Question now is not, whether an Infallible Church would do this?
A62644	The Rich Man here in the Parable after the Text, when he saw his Estate coming upon him so fast, cries out, what shall I do?
A62644	Thirdly, What is here meant by committing our selves to him in well- doing?
A62644	This is a mighty Priviledge indeed: But do not we find the contrary in Experience?
A62644	Thou Fool, this night shall thy Soul be taken from thee, and then whose shall those things be?
A62644	To be Wise and Innocent; Men in Understa ● ding, and yet in Malice Children?
A62644	To have God, and the Consideration of another World, always before us, present to our Minds, and operative upon our Practice?
A62644	To have our Duty continually in our eye, and ready to be put in practice upon every proper Occasion?
A62644	To live in the midst of a wicked World, and yet to keep our selves free from the Vices of it?
A62644	To whom then may be with so much Confidence commit our selves, as to him who freely gave us our Being?
A62644	What Benefit and Advantage can it be to any Man, to have an hundred, or perhaps a thousand times more than he knows what to do withall?
A62644	What Benefit and Advantage would it be to any Man, to have a hundred times more than he knows what to do withall?
A62644	What a conflict and strugling do the best Men find between their Inclination and their Duty?
A62644	What can we say for our selves, in excuse of so intolerable a folly?
A62644	What is meant by suffering according to the will of God?
A62644	What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my Fruits?
A62644	What shall we say then, that our Saviour intended by his Religion to take Men off from all Labour and Industry in their Callings?
A62644	Where shall they appear?
A62644	Where then had been the Poor Man''s Patience, and the Rich Man''s Pity?
A62644	Where was the difficulty of this?
A62644	Whether our Saviour did Institute the Sacrament in both kinds?
A62644	Whether the People ought not to read the Scriptures, and to have the publick Service of God in a known Tongue?
A62644	Who knows whether he shall be a Wise Man, or a Fool?
A62644	Why not Riches?
A62644	Why should we place our dearest Affections upon Things which we are not sure to enjoy one Moment?
A62644	Why take ye thought for Raiment?
A62644	and grave and serious, without being morose?
A62644	and if we offer the blind, is it not evil?
A62644	and is not the same Promise made to every good Man?
A62644	and the contentedness of Men of moderate Fortune?
A62644	and what by well- doing?
A62644	and when we are so, not to be apt to say with Jonah, we do well to be angry?
A62644	but whether that Church which arrogates Infallibility to it self, does not pretend to do this?
A62644	if we offer the lame in Sacrifice, is it not evil?
A62644	if ye be followers of that which is good?
A62644	my Master, how shall we do?
A62644	offer it now to thy Governour, and see if he will be pleased with thee?
A62644	or how can we hope that he will be pleased with the service of those years, which we our selves take no pleasure in?
A62644	or what shall I drink?
A62644	or what shall we drink?
A62644	or wherewithal shall I be cloathed?
A62644	or wherewithal shall we be cloathed?
A62644	or, can he purchase it too dear, whatever he give or part with for it?
A62644	that can in Reason be thought either acceptable to God, or available for our selves?
A62644	that they, who in most other things bid so fair for Heaven, should break wit ● God upon this single Point?
A62644	to be Patient in Adversity, and Humble in Prosperity, and Meek upon sudden and violent Provocations?
A62644	to be careful to preserve our Lives, and yet upon a great Occasion, and whenever God calls for them, to be content to lay them down?
A62644	to be useful and instructive to others, in our Conversation and Discourse, without assuming too much Authority to our selves?
A62644	to govern our Lives with that perpetual Caution, and to maintain that evenness of temper, as not to be sometimes peevish, and passionate?
A62644	to have many great Virtues, and not to want that which gives the great lustre to them all, I mean real and unaffected Modesty, and Humility?
A62644	to hold out and be unwearied in well- doing?
A62644	to keep our Passions free from getting head of our Reason, and our Zeal from out- running our Knowledge?
A62644	what by committing the keeping of our Souls to God, ● s unto a faithful Creator?
A62644	what can we then do that is good for any thing?
A62644	what difficulties will they not grapple with, and break through if they can, to come at a Kingdom?
A62644	what hazards will they not run?
A62644	what pains will they not take?
A62644	whether his Repentance would hold good, and he would become a new Man, and change his former course of Life, or relapse into it again?
A62644	with what face can we put off God with the dregs of our Life?
A62629	17.9, That the heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?
A62629	19.12, Who can understand his errours?
A62629	2. Who are here meant by the just persons that need no repentance?
A62629	27, If I by Beelzebub cast out Devils, by whom do your children cast them out?
A62629	34.25, 26, He that washeth himself after the touching of a dead body, if he touch it again, what availeth his washing?
A62629	8.6, I hearkened and I heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, what have I done?
A62629	And Shall not God visit for these things?
A62629	And can we make too much haste, to flye from so great and apparent a danger?
A62629	And do we think all this is to be done in an instant, and requires no time?
A62629	And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself, how shall then his kingdom stand?
A62629	And if he hath revealed that he doth this, are we not to believe him?
A62629	And if men will resist such evidence, what can God do more for their satisfaction?
A62629	And if there be no impediment on Gods part, why should there be any on ours?
A62629	And if they be so, where is the fault?
A62629	And if this be our case, what can we expect?
A62629	And is it so in this matter?
A62629	And is not this our case?
A62629	And is this Repentance?
A62629	And is this a reasonable hope?
A62629	And is this no prejudice against it?
A62629	And just before his Suffering, with what Joy and Triumph does he reflect upon the good he had done in his life?
A62629	And now shall every trifling consideration be sufficient to move a man to relinquish such a Church?
A62629	And now what can I say more, to perswade every one of us to a consideration of our own ways?
A62629	And those likewise, who, though they are far from being so bad, yet wholly neglect this blessed work of doing good?
A62629	And what can commend Religion more to us, than that the remembrance of any pious and virtuous action gives us so much contentment and delight?
A62629	And what cause have we to thank God that this is not yet our case; that we are yet on this side the pit of destruction and the gulf of despair?
A62629	And what greater assurance can men have that miracles are wrought, than to be eye- witnesses of them themselves?
A62629	And what is a man profited, if to gain a little sensual pleasure, he lose the peace of his soul?
A62629	And why then should a bare possibility, accompany''d with infinite and apparent hazard, be an argument to any man to run into that danger?
A62629	And will we be miserable by our own choice, when the Grace of God hath put it into our power to be happy?
A62629	Are thy passions and lusts yet unsubdued, and have they had no other mortification than what age hath given them?
A62629	Art thou come to torment me before the time?
A62629	As, their reproaching him with the meanness of his birth, Is not this the Carpenters son?
A62629	Behold, I am vile, what shall I answer thee?
A62629	But are there any persons in the world so just, as absolutely to stand in need of no repentance?
A62629	But can not God impose upon the senses of men, and represent things to them otherwise than they are?
A62629	But do not we seek God?
A62629	But do those men consider upon what kind of Duties more especially, our Blessed Saviour and his Apostles lay the great weight and stress of Religion?
A62629	But if we were sure that happiness would come again, yet why should we put it off?
A62629	But is there any sense, that another mans boldness and want of charity should be an argument to move me to be of his opinion?
A62629	But what if their senses did deceive them in this matter?
A62629	But why for a little while?
A62629	But why should they lay any stress upon this?
A62629	Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots?
A62629	Can we find in our hearts to call that pleasure, which robs us of a far greater and higher satisfaction than it brings?
A62629	Can we think it reasonable for men to address themselves to God after this manner?
A62629	Consider what you have done, and then consider what is fit for you to do, and if you do it not, what will be the end of these things?
A62629	Do not the blessed always rejoyce most in that which is really best?
A62629	Do not we seek the Lord of Hosts, when we continually beg of him to save and deliver us from the hand of our enemies?
A62629	Do they consider, that a right Faith is wholly in order to a good Life, and is of no value any farther then it hath an influence upon it?
A62629	Do we think that when the day hath been idlely spent and squandered away by us, that we shall be fit to work when the night and darkness comes?
A62629	Does any man know how to be safe and happy to day, and can he find in his heart to tarry till to morrow?
A62629	Does our Saviour any- where speak one word concerning the worshipping of Her?
A62629	Dost thou believe the Doctrine of the Gospel?
A62629	For he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
A62629	For what more grievous, than to have all the good one does ill interpreted, and the best actions in the world made matter of calumny and reproach?
A62629	Hast thou never heard what the Scripture saith, that he who offends in one point is a transgressour of the whole Law?
A62629	How can there be peace, when thy lusts and debaucheries, thy impieties to God and thy injuries to men, have been so many?
A62629	How can we hope to be at ease, so long as we are in a sick and diseased condition?
A62629	How do they persecute them with slanders and reproaches, and with all the effects of hatred and malice?
A62629	How does the guilt of his wicked life then stare him in the face?
A62629	How full of wrath and indignation are they against those who out of pure conviction of the errours and corruptions of their Church come over to Ours?
A62629	How late is it then to begin to llve well, when thy life is almost at an end?
A62629	How we are to understand the joy that is in heaven at the conversion of a sinner?
A62629	How we are to understand the joy that is in heaven at the repentance of a sinner?
A62629	If a mans life lay at stake, and he had but one throw for it, with what care and with what concernment would he manage that action?
A62629	If in this day of Gods grace and patience we sometimes meet with such severity, what may we not look for in the day of vengeance?
A62629	If they think we do, why do they not take in all that we say in this matter?
A62629	Is it not better not to offend, than to sin and repent?
A62629	Is it then that they live by their Profession, and yet would be believed?
A62629	Is it worth the while to do amiss to make way for repentance; and is not this almost like sinning that grace may abound?
A62629	Is it, that there is a peculiar Profession of men whose proper work it is to tell men of their faults, and to perswade them to reform?
A62629	Is not innocence better than amendment, and the wisdom of prevention to be preferred before that of remedy?
A62629	Is there any reason in this case, that this man should carry it, meerly by his confidence?
A62629	Is this a fitting encouragement for a wise man to give to himself, to any action?
A62629	Lastly, What an argument and encouragement is here to repentance, even to the greatest of sinners?
A62629	Seneca expostulates excellently with this sort of men; Who should ensure thy life till that time?
A62629	That we may delay and put off to the last, and yet do all this work well enough?
A62629	Third thing I propounded, namely, in what sense this sin is here said to be peculiarly unpardonable?
A62629	Those fits of mirth which wicked men have, how soon are they over?
A62629	To conclude: Art thou convinced, that thy eternal happiness depends upon following the advice which hath now been given thee?
A62629	Upon this the people were amazed, and said, is not this the son of David?
A62629	Were it not for this, outward afflictions might be tolerable; the spirit of a man might bear his infirmities, but a wounded spirit who can bear?
A62629	What a blessed Pattern is here of diligence and industry in doing good?
A62629	What comfort wilt thou then be able to give thy self?
A62629	What matter is it, what we Hereticks say, who are so damnably mistaken in all other things?
A62629	What storms and tempests are raised in his soul?
A62629	What wilt thou do when thou comest to die?
A62629	When he was told that his Mother and Brethren were without: Who( says he) are my mother and my brethren?
A62629	When shall it once be?
A62629	When will we think of saving our selves, if not when( for ought we know) we are upon the very brink of ruine, and just ready to drop into destruction?
A62629	Who are here meant by the just persons who need no repentance?
A62629	With what clemency hath he spared us, and suffered our manners thus long?
A62629	With what contentment does a good man then look upon the good he hath done in his life?
A62629	Would it not be horrible impudence and impiety to put up any such petitions to God?
A62629	how fair and lovely a copy for Christians to write after?
A62629	or what comfort can any one else give thee?
A62629	shall not his soul be aveng''d on such a Nation as this?
A62629	that it is to the Meek and Merciful and Peaceable that our Saviour pronounceth Blessedness?
A62629	that pure Religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction?
A62629	that the wisdom which is from above is full of mercy and good works?
A62629	thou art just ready to dye, and hast thou not yet begun to live?
A62629	what can we do?
A62629	what comfort can we give thee, when thine iniquities testifie against thee to thy very face?
A62629	what reasonable or acceptable service can we then perform to God?
A62629	when our candle is just sinking into the socket, how shall our light so shine before men, that others may see our good works?
A62629	why till to morrow?
A62632	& c. To what purpose is the multitude of your Sacrifices unto me?
A62632	''T is time to enquire as they do in the Text, Werewith shall we come before the Lord, and bow our selves before the high God?
A62632	21. since irresistible grace did not accompany those Miracles?
A62632	3 dly, They ask St. Paul''s question, Who maketh thee to differ?
A62632	42. Who then is that faithful and wise Steward, whom his Lord shall make Ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
A62632	7. Who maketh thee to differ?
A62632	After this contempt of him, what favour can we hope for from him?
A62632	And Charity the Apostle tells us is the fulfilling of the Law; and what is the fulfilling of the Law, but keeping the Commandments of God?
A62632	And can any sober Man forbear to follow the Convictions of his own Mind, and to resolve to do what he inwardly consents to as best?
A62632	And do we think this to be but a small aggravation, to affront the great Soveraign and Judge of the World?
A62632	And how close have they followed one another?
A62632	And how does he sneak, when he hath done wickedly, being sensible that he is condemned by others, as well as by himself?
A62632	And how is their destruction of themselves, if it is unavoidable, let them do what they can?
A62632	And if the threatnings of the Gospel be true, What manner of Persons ought we to be, in all holy Conversation and Godliness?
A62632	And is it not then a mighty advantage to us, that we have the clear and certain direction of Divine Revelation?
A62632	And is not this a mighty advantage to the doing of God''s Will, to have it so plainly declared to us, and so powerfully enforced upon us?
A62632	And was there ever Age wherein this was more needful?
A62632	And what can be more dreadful than the displeasure of an Almighty and Eternal Being?
A62632	And what is the Mystery of all this, but that Men are loath to do that, without which, nothing else that we do is acceptable to God?
A62632	And what is, if this be not, to turn the grace of God into wantonness, and to make Christian Liberty a Cloke for all sorts of Sins?
A62632	And what then is it they mean that gratitude will oblige Men to, or preserve them from?
A62632	And which way hath God done this?
A62632	And yet unless we do something, what can be the meaning of making our selves new hearts and new spirits?
A62632	And, which is more and sadder than all this, what dangerous attempts have been made upon our Religion, by the restless Adversaries of it?
A62632	Besides that it will be hard to justifie that Saying, What could I have done more to my Vineyard, that I have not done in it?
A62632	But can they will to come?
A62632	But how did his being made under the Law, qualifie him to redeem those who were under the Law?
A62632	But how was this the Law and the Prophets, when this Rule was never so much as mentioned in either?
A62632	But on the contrary, when we contradict these natural Dictates, what uneasiness do we find in our own breasts?
A62632	But were the ● e no good Men unde ● the dispensation of the Law?
A62632	But what then are the things that are acceptable to God?
A62632	But what then?
A62632	But where is the help, when the grace absolutely necessary to Repentance is denied?
A62632	But will any Metaphor bear Men out against so palpable an absurdity as this?
A62632	Do we then make void the Law through Faith?
A62632	For if I do not naturally know there is a God, how can I naturally know that there is any Law obliging to the one, and forbidding the other?
A62632	For if it be no Remedy against this impotency, how comes it to inflame the guilt of Impenitency?
A62632	For what else can be the meaning of that Maxim so currant in the Church of Rome, that Ignorance is the Mother of Devotion?
A62632	For who can bear his indignation, and who who can stand before him, when once he is angry?
A62632	For why should he desire to draw Men into that, which he himself abhors, and which is so contrary to his own nature and disposition?
A62632	He hath shewed thee, O Man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee?
A62632	He hath shewn thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy?
A62632	He that washeth himself after the touching of a dead body, if he touch it again, what availeth his washing?
A62632	Here was a prodigious Sacrifice indeed; but where was Mercy?
A62632	How have the Judgments of God followed us?
A62632	How is that?
A62632	I ask now, whether in Adam we had a power to Repent?
A62632	Is Christ the minister of Sin?
A62632	Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the Poor that are cast out to thy house?
A62632	Is it only that we should be passive to the irresistible operation''s of God''s grace?
A62632	Is it such a Fast that I have chosen?
A62632	Is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him?
A62632	Is it true that God hath done all that was necessary to have brought them to Repentance?
A62632	Is not this the Fast that I have ● hosen?
A62632	Is the Knowledge and Belief of a God therefore not Natural to Mankind?
A62632	Is the Law Sin?
A62632	Is the Law Sin?
A62632	Is the Law then against the Promises of God?
A62632	It is God''s Speech to Cain, If thou dost well, shalt thou not be accepted?
A62632	It is no where made a question, will the Lord be pleased that we deal justly every Man with his Neighbour, and speak the truth one to another?
A62632	Know ye not that the Unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God?
A62632	Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God?
A62632	Know ye what I have done unto you?
A62632	No, they say, notwithstanding any preparatory work that we can do, Conversion may not follow; how then does this mend the matter?
A62632	Or shall I list my self a Souldier for the Holy War, or for the Extirpation of Hereticks?
A62632	Or,( as it is in another Evangelist) to lose himself?
A62632	Quam sib ● veniam sperare possun ● impie ● atis suae, qui non agnoscunt cultum ejus, quem prorsùs ignorari ab hominibus fas non est?
A62632	Shall I come before him with Burnt- offerings?
A62632	Shall I come before him with Burnt- offerings?
A62632	Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with Calves of a year old?
A62632	Shall I give half my Estate to a Convent for my Transgression, or chastise and punish my Body for the Sin of my Soul?
A62632	Shall I give my first born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
A62632	Shall I give my first- born for my tran ● gression, the fruit of my Body for the sin of my Soul?
A62632	Shall I go before a Crucifix, and bow my self to it, as to the high God?
A62632	Shall the Host travel in procession, or my self und ● rtake a tedious Pilgrimage?
A62632	Since God hath raised up so mighty a Salvation for us; how shall we escape?
A62632	So that our Renovation consisteth in the Principle and Practice of Obedience, and a good Life; And what is this but Faith perfected by Charity?
A62632	Suppose they do all they can towards it, will this save them, or will God upon this irresistibly work their Conversion?
A62632	That is, by what kind of Worship or Devotion may I address my self to him in the most acceptable manner?
A62632	That is, does the Gospel destroy and take away the obligation of the Law?
A62632	That is, hath God given Men a Law to this end, that he might draw them into Sin?
A62632	The Lord said unto Cain, why art thou wroth, and why is thy countenance fallen?
A62632	This only would I learn of you, received ye the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by the hearing of Faith?
A62632	To what purpose is the multitude of your Sacrifices unto me?
A62632	Upon the hearing of this Parable, Peter enquires of our Saviour, whether he intended this only for his Disciples, or for all?
A62632	WHerewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow my self before the high God?
A62632	What a good Face does a Man naturally set upon a good Deed?
A62632	What a raging Pestilence did God send among us, that swept away thousands, and ten thousands in our streets?
A62632	What could I have done more to my Vineyard, that I have not done in it?
A62632	What fearful Calamities have our eyes seen?
A62632	What fellowship hath Light with Darkness, or God with Belial?
A62632	What is the reason of all this?
A62632	What shall it profit a Man to gain the whole World, and lose his own Soul?
A62632	What shall we say then?
A62632	What terrible and hazardous Wars have we been ingaged in?
A62632	What unseasonable weather have we had of late?
A62632	When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hands, to tread my Courts?
A62632	When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hands?
A62632	Whence then comes his pretended Vicar to have this Authority?
A62632	Wherefore when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
A62632	Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow my self before the high God?
A62632	Wherewith shall I come before the Lord?
A62632	Wherewith ● hall I come before the Lord, and bow my self before the high God?
A62632	Who will hear his Prayer, or what doth his humbling profit him?
A62632	Wi ● the Lord be pleased with thousands of Rams, and ten thousands of Rivers of Oyl?
A62632	Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of Pater- Nosters, or with ten thousands of Ave- Marys?
A62632	Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of Rams, or ten thousands of Rivers of Oyl?
A62632	Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of Rams, or with ten thousands of Rivers of Oyl?
A62632	Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of Rams, or with ten thousands of Rivers of Oyl?
A62632	Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of Rams, or with ten thousands of Rivers of Oyl?
A62632	Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of Rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of Oyl?
A62632	Will we provoke the Lord to jealousie?
A62632	Will ye provoke the Lord to jealousie?
A62632	Wilt thou call this a Fast, and an acceptable Day unto the Lord?
A62632	a day for a Man to afflict his Soul?
A62632	and by his own wilful fault and folly to endanger his coming into this place and state of torments?
A62632	and whether the wit of Man ever devised any thing so awful, and so agreeable to the Majesty of God, and the solemn Judgement of the whole World?
A62632	and who may stand before him when once he is angry?
A62632	and who says we can of our selves do this besides the Pelagians?
A62632	and with what patience could any Man bear to think of plunging himself into this misery?
A62632	are we stronger than he?
A62632	are ye stronger than ● e?
A62632	by Revelation?
A62632	by what means may I hope to appease his displeasure?
A62632	do they contradict one another?
A62632	not only to break his Laws; but to trample upon them and despise them, when we know whose Laws they are?
A62632	or by the Natural Light of Reason?
A62632	shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with Calves of a year old?
A62632	shall I come before him with burnt- offerings, with Calves of a year old?
A62632	shall I give my first born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
A62632	shall I give my first- born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
A62632	that is, are the Law and the Gospel contrary?
A62632	that it is the pleasure of him that made us, and who hath declared that he designs to make us happy, by our obedience to his Laws?
A62632	that we be kind and tender- hearted, and ready to forgive?
A62632	that we be willing to distribute and give Alms to those that are in need?
A62632	the constant Sacrifice that was off ● red to God by way of acknowledgment of his Dominion over the Creatures; with Calves of a year old?
A62632	to loose the bands of wickedness, to undoe the heavy burthens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
A62632	what can we say for our selves, why any one of those many stripes which are threatned should be abated to us?
A62632	when thou seest the Naked, that thou cover him, and that thou hide not thy self from thine own Flesh?
A62632	wherefore when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
A62632	〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, do we then make void the Law by Faith?
A62635	53.1, 2, 3. Who hath believed our report?
A62635	8.35, 37. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
A62635	And can any thing be more worthy of God, and more likely to proceed from him, than so plain and useful a Doctrine as this?
A62635	And his Sisters, are they not all with us?
A62635	And if any ask me according to what proportion of his Estate he ought to be charitable?
A62635	And is it not pity, that good Men do not apply this Wisdom to better and greater purposes?
A62635	And on the contrary, what can reflect more upon any Religion, than to indulge and allow Men in any Vice contrary to these?
A62635	And what can be more gracious, than to make one Benefit the Condition of a greater?
A62635	And what more to the Advantage of the Professors of it?
A62635	And when our Saviour was apprehended, how did his Disciples forsake him, and flye from him?
A62635	And who would not strive to enter in at that gate, which leads to so much Felicity?
A62635	And why is the Intention of the Priest necessary to the efficacy of the Sacraments?
A62635	And why should we imagine that this Course would prove more effectual?
A62635	And why should we, who do the same things, think our selves exempted from the same Fate?
A62635	Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?
A62635	But are we in earnest, and would we be perswaded if one should rise from the dead?
A62635	But in the Concernments of our Souls, and the Affairs of another world, how dull and injudicious are we?
A62635	But in the pursuit of better things, how cold and remiss are we?
A62635	But on the other hand, how easily are men check''d and diverted from a good Course, by the Temptations and Advantages of this world?
A62635	By tedious Pilgrimages, and senseless Ceremonies, and innumerable little external Observances, of no Virtue and Efficacy in Religion?

A62635	Can the Ethiopian cleanse his Skin, or the Leopard his Spots?
A62635	Did ever greater Courage and Contempt of Death appear in all Ages, and Sexes, and Conditions of Men, than in the primitive Martyrs?
A62635	First, What it was that John the Baptist sent his Disciples to be satisfied about; and that was, whether he was the Messias or not?
A62635	For instance, Why do they deny the People the Holy Scriptures and the Service of God, in a language which they can understand?
A62635	For is not every Man such a Steward, entrusted by God with the Blessings of this Life; and many opportunities of doing good?
A62635	For what fellowship( saith the Apostle) can righteousness have with unrighteousness?
A62635	For what great difference is there, whether Men renounce Christianity; or professing to believe it, do in their Works deny it?
A62635	For what if his Extraction were known, might he not be from God for all that?
A62635	Hath a Nation changed their Gods, which yet are no Gods?
A62635	Hath not God chosen the poor in this world, rich in Faith, and Heirs of the Kingdom, which he hath promised to them that love him?
A62635	Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom, which he hath promised to them that love him?
A62635	Have any of the Rulers or Pharisees believed on him?
A62635	Have any of the Rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
A62635	How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour which cometh of God only?
A62635	How did they tire themselves and others with long and tedious Marches?
A62635	How diligent are many in reading and hearing the Word of God, who yet take no care to practise it in their Lives?
A62635	How easily was Peter frighted into the denial of his Master?
A62635	How is that?
A62635	How knoweth this Man Letters, having never learned?
A62635	How many are cold in their Zeal for Religion, by the Favour and Friendship of this world?
A62635	How much more shall your Heavenly Father give the holy Spirit to them that ask him?
A62635	How negligent and formal, and many times Hypocritical are they in the Service of God, and the Exercise of Religion?
A62635	How partially do Men lean to that part which makes most for their Advantage, though all the Reason in the World lye on the other side?
A62635	How should this inspire us with Resolution and Zeal and Industry in the Service of God, to have such a Reward continually in our Eye?
A62635	I say, what else can be the meaning of it but this?
A62635	If any man asks me, how I know this?
A62635	In what Herds and Shoals would Men be driven out of the Communion of the Church?
A62635	Is not this the Carpenter''s Son, is not his Mother called Mary; and his Brethren James and J ● ses, and Simon and Judas?
A62635	Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy Name, and in thy Name have cast out Devils, and in thy Name have done many wondrous works?
A62635	Many will say unto me in that Day, Lord, Lord, have we not Prophesied in thy Name?
A62635	Now what could be more unreasonable?
A62635	On the other hand, art thou poor and miserable, destitute of all the Conveniences and Accommodations of this Life?
A62635	One said unto him, Lord, are there few that be Saved?
A62635	Or if he ask a Fish, will he give him a Serpent?
A62635	Say ye of him whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the World, Thou blasphemest, because I said I am the Son of God?
A62635	Shall the Messias come out of Galilee?
A62635	That any Church hath the Privilege to save impenitent Sinners?
A62635	That is, art thou the Messias, or not?
A62635	That when we rest from our labours, our works will follow us?
A62635	That when we shall be stript of other things, and parted from them, these will still remain with us, and bear us company?
A62635	The Disgrace of the Pillory will fright Men from Perjury; and will not everlasting shame and Confusion?
A62635	The Jews sent Priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
A62635	The Sanhedrim, to whom it belonged to judge who were true Prophets, sent to know whether he was the Messias or not?
A62635	The great Sacrifice and Propitiation for Sin was the Son of God; and they who renounce him, what way of Expiation can they hope for afterward?
A62635	Then the High- Priest rent his Cloaths, and said, He hath spoken Blasphemy; what further need have we of witness?
A62635	To what Inconveniences and Dangers did they expose themselves and Thousands more?
A62635	To what a certainty have Men reduced all the ways and arts of Gain, and growing rich, and of rising to Honour and Preferment?
A62635	To what end is Auricular Confession?
A62635	Were any of the Heathen Soldiers comparable to the Christian Legion, for Resolution and Courage, even the Heathens themselves being Judges?
A62635	What Drudges were Caesar and Alexander in the way of Fame and Ambition?
A62635	What Havock and Destruction did they make in the world, that they might gain to themselves the empty Title of Conquerors of it?
A62635	What can be more to the credit of any Religion, than to command Men to be just, and charitable, and peaceable?
A62635	What can we conclude from hence, but either that this is not Christianity, or the greatest part of us are no Christians?
A62635	What do we?
A62635	What greater Encouragement can we have than this, That all the good which we do in this World will accompany us into the other?
A62635	What long Trains will Men lay to bring about their desired End?
A62635	What think ye?
A62635	When the Men of the worl ● engage in any Design, how intent are they upon it, and with what vigour do they prosecute it?
A62635	When the righteous Man turneth away from his Righteousness, shall he live?
A62635	Whence hath this Man this Wisdom and these mighty Works?
A62635	Whence then hath this Man these things?
A62635	Whereunto shall I liken this Generation?
A62635	Who will not follow that Example to which we stand indebted for the greatest Blessings and Benefits that ever were procured for Mankind?
A62635	Why call ye me, Lord, Lord,( says our Saviour) and do not the things which I say?
A62635	Why do they forbid their Priests to marry?
A62635	With what a careless indifference do most men mind their Souls?
A62635	Wouldst thou be willing that he should slight and repulse thee, and shut up his Bowels of Compassion from thee?
A62635	and by wandring through a wilderness of Opinions, and the bushes and brakes of unprofitable Questions, and Controversies?
A62635	and in thy Name cast out devils?
A62635	and in thy Name done many wonderful works?
A62635	and in thy Name done many wonderful works?
A62635	and in thy Name have cast out Devils?
A62635	and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
A62635	as to think that Confidence of their own good Condition, and want of Charity to others, will carry them to Heaven?
A62635	but that by keeping them in Ignorance, they may have them in more perfect Slavery and Subjection to them?
A62635	but that they may have no Interest distinct from that of their Church, and leave all to it when they die?
A62635	but to keep People in awe, by the knowledge of their Secrets?
A62635	or the Leopard his spots?
A62635	or what Worldly Ends could Men have in taking that Profession upon them, which was so directly contrary to their Worldly Interests?
A62635	shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
A62635	what can they expect, but to fall into his Hands as a Judge, whom they have rejected as a Sacrifice and a Saviour?
A62635	what communion hath light with darkness, or God with Belial?
A62635	when he had wrought so many other, and great Miracles, perversly to insist upon some particular kind of Miracle which they fancied?
A62635	where the Disciples ask our Saviour, What shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
A62636	& c. But where shall wisdom be found?
A62636	All our hopes of Happiness are founded in the Faithfulness of God; and if thou be false to him, how canst thou expect he should be faithful to thee?
A62636	And again, Canst thou by searching find out God?
A62636	And can there be a greater affront to the Goodness and Justice of God, than to imagin he should deal with men after this manner?
A62636	And did not he foretel the Destruction of Jerusalem 40 Years before?
A62636	And if ye salute your Brethren only, what do ye more than others?
A62636	And is a Man easilier made by Chance, than his Picture?
A62636	And is there any thing of real Advantage which is not comprehended in this?
A62636	And they say, how doth God know?
A62636	And to mention no more, is it an Imperfection to be in any respect mutable?
A62636	And we may in this case reason as our Saviour does; If we that are evil would deal thus with our Children, how much more shall our Heavenly Father?
A62636	And what signifie the Laws and Promises of God, unless natural Light do first assure us of his Soveraign Authority and Faithfulness?
A62636	And why may it not then be continually increasing, and be augmented still more and more, without any stint or final period of it''s perfection?
A62636	Are ye not then partial in your selves, and become judges of evil thoughts?
A62636	Art thou a Man, and the son of Man, and wilt thou assume to thy self the Prerogative of God?
A62636	As we have all our Knowledge from him; what have we that we have not received?
A62636	But it may here be Objected; Did not the Oracles among the Heathens foretel several things, which Christians are satisfied came from the Devil?
A62636	But none saith, where is God my maker, who giveth Songs in the night?
A62636	But to what purpose, may some say, is this long Description and Discourse of happiness?
A62636	By what Authority then does his Vicar do these things?
A62636	Can a man be profitable to God?
A62636	Can any hide himself in secret places, that I shall not see him?
A62636	Can any man believe this that hath any tolerable notion of God''s Goodness?
A62636	Can''st thou find out the Almighty to perfection?
A62636	Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing?
A62636	Do ye think the Holy and Just God will put up these Affronts, and Indignities?
A62636	Dost thou know the wondrous works of him that is perfect in knowledge?
A62636	Doth God pervert Judgment, or doth the Almighty pervert Justice?
A62636	Doth God pervert Judgment?
A62636	Doth he not see my ways, and count all my steps?
A62636	Fear and Shame from Men lay a great restraint upon our outward Actions; but how licentious are we many times in our Hearts?
A62636	For if ye love them which love you, what reward have you?
A62636	For it is plain, we are not sufficient for it of our selves; and if there be not a God, there is nothing that can make us so?
A62636	For what can there be that is good or desirable in Being, when it only serves to be a foundation of the greatest and most lasting Misery?
A62636	For who hath known the mind of the Lord, or who hath been his Counsellor?
A62636	God is not a Man that he should lie, neither the son of Man that he should repent, hath he said, and shall not he do it?
A62636	God is not a Man that he should lie, or as the Son of Man that he should repent; hath he spoken, and shall not he do it?
A62636	He said unto them, why are ye troubled?
A62636	He that planted the Ear, shall he not hear?
A62636	Hell and Destruction are before him, how much more the hearts of the Children of Men?
A62636	How are the Life and Death of the Messias, with many particular Circumstances foretold?
A62636	How are we the Wiser and the Better for it?
A62636	How long might a Man sprinkle Oil and Colours upon Canvas, with a careless Hand, before this would produce the exact Picture of a Man?
A62636	How long, O Lord, holy and true?
A62636	How long, O Lord, holy and true?
A62636	How many things are there which we can not find out without search, without looking narrowly into, and bending our Minds to understand them?
A62636	I say unto you, Take no thought for your lives, what ye shall eat,& c. Is not the life more than meat?
A62636	I will take heed to my way, while the wicked is before me; how much more in the presence of God?
A62636	If the word spoken by Angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; how shall we escape?
A62636	If thou art righteous, what givest thou him?
A62636	If thou believest that he is Light, what Security is Darkness to thee?
A62636	If thou sinnest, what dost thou against him?
A62636	Is it Wit to set our selves against Reason, and to oppose our best Interest?
A62636	Is it an Imperfection to countenance Sin?
A62636	Is it an Imperfection to go from ones word, or to change ones mind?
A62636	Is it an Imperfection to tempt, or to be tempted to Sin?
A62636	Is it an Imperfection to want any thing, to be liable to any thing, to depend upon any thing without one''s self for their happiness?
A62636	Is it fit to say to a King, thou art Wicked?
A62636	Is it not desirable to be freed from the slavery of our Lusts, and rescued from the Tyranny and Power of the great Destroyer of Souls?
A62636	Is it worth the while to advance such senseless Opinions as these, to deny the Wisdom of God?
A62636	Is not sin contrary to the Holy Nature of God?
A62636	Is there then unrighteousness with God?
A62636	Many say, who will shew us any good?
A62636	Nothing more evident than the Sin of Adam; yet God fore- knew this; how else was Christ decreed before the Foundation of the World?
A62636	Now how is this agreable to justice?
A62636	Now how is this deferring and turning away of judgment consistent with the Truth of God?
A62636	Now shall we continue in Sin, when we know, the Son of God was manifested to take away Sin?
A62636	Now what could more tend to discountenance Sin, and convince us of the great evil of it?
A62636	Of what use would all the Mines of Metal have been, and of Coal, and the Quarries of Stone?
A62636	Peradventure there be fifty Righteous within the City, wilt thou also destroy, and not spare the place for the fifty Righteous that are therein?
A62636	Put the case we had the entire ordering and disposal of our selves, what were reasonable for us to do in this case?
A62636	Righteous art thou O Lord, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments, wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper?
A62636	Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
A62636	Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
A62636	Shall not the Judge of all the world do right?
A62636	Should he now, without any satisfaction to his offended Justice, pardon the Sinner, remit his Punishment, and receive him to favour?
A62636	There is one law- giver, that is able to save and to destroy; who art thou that judgest another?
A62636	This Negative Interrogation is equivalent to a vehement affirmation, shall not the Judge all the Earth do right?
A62636	This is imply''d in the Answer to that Question, Who can know the heart of man?
A62636	To what purpose is the multitude of your Sacrifices to me?
A62636	Unless it be naturally known to us, that God is true, what foundation is there for the belief of his Word?
A62636	Vnderstand ye Brutish among the People, and ye Fools when will ye be wise?
A62636	Was Joseph neglected by God, when, by a great deal of hard usage, and a long imprisonment, he was raised to the highest dignity in a great Kingdom?
A62636	What an impotent and ineffectual thing would Power be without Knowledge?
A62636	What can expiate the guilt of sin, if the Blood of Christ do not?
A62636	What could a Christian say more or better, by way of resignation of himself to the Providence of God?
A62636	What shall take us off from sin, what shall sanctifie us, if the blood of the Covenant be ineffectual?
A62636	What shall we say then, is there unrighteousness with God?
A62636	What shall we say then?
A62636	What would all the vast bodies of Trees have served for, if Man had not been to build with them, and make Dwellings of them?
A62636	When thou art ready anxiously and solicitously to say, what shall I do for the necessaries of Life?
A62636	Which of you, by taking thought, can add one cubit to his stature?
A62636	Who can tell the utmost of what Omnipotent Justice can do to sinners?
A62636	Who knoweth the power of thine anger?
A62636	Who should observe the Motions of the Stars, and the Courses of those Heavenly Bodies, and all the Wonders of Nature?
A62636	Who teacheth us more than the Beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the Fowls of Heaven?
A62636	Whom should we trust rather than Infinite Wisdom which manageth and directs Infinite Goodness and Power?
A62636	Why art thou cast down, O my Soul?
A62636	Why callest thou me good?
A62636	Why do we take too much upon us?
A62636	Why should Unbelief be counted a piece of Wit?
A62636	Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of Rams, and ten thousands of rivers of Oil?
A62636	Wilt thou also destroy the Righteous, with the Wicked?
A62636	Wilt thou destroy the righteous with the wicked?
A62636	Would the Beasts of the Field study Astronomy, or turn Chymists, and try Experiments in Nature?
A62636	Would the Beasts of the Forest have built themselves Palaces, or would they have made Fires in their Dens?
A62636	Would the Mole have admired the fine Gold?
A62636	Would you be like God?
A62636	Zeno pretends to demonstrate there is no Motion; and what is the consequence of this Speculation, but that Men must stand still?
A62636	and he that keepeth thy soul, doth he not know it?
A62636	and said, that the sinner shall die, that he will not acquit the guilty, nor let sin go unpunish''d?
A62636	and seeth his Brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
A62636	and the body than rayment?
A62636	and where is the place of understanding?
A62636	and who gave him this Authority?
A62636	and why art thou disquieted within me?
A62636	and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
A62636	do not even the Publicans so?
A62636	do not even the Publicans the same?
A62636	doth not this seem to charge him with false- hood or levity?
A62636	hath he said it, and shall not he bring it to pass?
A62636	hath he said it, and shall not he bring it to pass?
A62636	hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
A62636	hath not he declared his Infinite hatred of it?
A62636	hath not he threatned it with heavy and dreadful Punishment?
A62636	he that formed the Eye, shall he not see?
A62636	he that formed the Eye, shall he not see?
A62636	he that planted the Ear, shall he not hear?
A62636	he that teacheth Man Knowledge, shall not he know?
A62636	how art thou alone, if thou believest that God is every where?
A62636	how can''st thou retire from him?
A62636	how canst thou shut him out?
A62636	how much less to him that accepteth not the Persons of Princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor?
A62636	how shall God at once express his Love to the Sinner, and his hatred to sin?
A62636	is it not a known Rule, Noxa caput sequitur, Mischief pursues the Sinner?
A62636	is proportionably true in this case; there is but one that knows the heart; who art thou then that judgest another Man''s heart?
A62636	is there knowledge in the most high?
A62636	is there unrighteousness with God?
A62636	meaning the good things of this World, Corn, and Wine, and Oil; But wouldst thou be happy indeed?
A62636	or doth the Almighty pervert Justice?
A62636	or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what dost thou unto him?
A62636	or is it a gain to him, that thou makest thy way perfect?
A62636	or to Princes, ye are ungodly?
A62636	or what receiveth he of thine hand?
A62636	or whether they were baptized into the name of Paul?
A62636	or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
A62636	that judgest another''s heart?
A62636	what a strange freedom do we take within our own Breasts?
A62636	what irregular things would it produce?
A62636	what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
A62636	what untoward Combinations of Effects would there be, if infinite Power were let loose to act without the Conduct of Knowledge and Vnderstanding?
A62636	why does not thy Blood rise in thy Face?
A62636	why dost thou seek Darkness and Retirement?
A62636	why should not Shame and Fear work, upon the apprehension of God''s seeing us, as if men did behold us?
A62636	would this be agreeable to his Holiness, and Justice, and Truth?
A62579	90. Who knoweth the power of thy anger?
A62579	Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off?
A62579	And I. I ask the Sinner if he will stand to this?
A62579	And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, When shall these things be?
A62579	And can we stand out against his earnest desire of our happiness, whom we have so often and so long provoked to make us miserable?
A62579	And do not the terrible threatnings of God against sin declare him to be highly offended at it?
A62579	And does not this plainly argue, that they are guilty to themselves, that they are about something which they ought not to do?
A62579	And is it not a greater mercy that we never felt it?
A62579	And is not this an argument of God''s patience, that the glorious Majesty of Heaven should bear such multiplied indignities from such vile Worms?
A62579	And is not this great goodness, to warn us when he might destroy us, to leave room for a retreat, when he might put our case past remedy?
A62579	And is this any real Objection against the long- suffering of God?
A62579	And must he be charged with our ruin, because he seeks by all means to prevent it?
A62579	And should not this goodness of his make us sorry that we have offended him?
A62579	And then how hard do we find it to forgive those who have injured us?
A62579	And this may suffice for answer to the first Objection, if God be so good, whence then comes evil?
A62579	And treasurest up to thy self wrath against the day of wrath, and the revelation of the righteous judgment of God?
A62579	And what was the issue of all this?
A62579	And who may stand before thee when thou art angry?
A62579	Are not two Sparrows sold for a Farthing?
A62579	Are these the best returns which the infinite Mercy and Patience of God hath deserved from us?
A62579	Are they not all ministring spirits, sent forth to minister for them, who shall be heirs of Salvation?
A62579	Art not thou from everlasting?
A62579	At the best, how unfit are we for the most serious work of our lives, when we are hardly fit to do any thing?
A62579	Because Men are apt to abuse the Mercies and Favours of God, is it therefore a fault in him to bestow them upon us?
A62579	Because he doth nothing against thee for the present, thinkest thou he can do nothing?
A62579	Because it hath not yet overtaken us, therefore to go forth and meet it?
A62579	Because there is yet a possibility of escaping it, therefore to take a certain course to make it unavoidable?
A62579	Because there is yet hope concerning us, therefore to make our case desperate and past remedy?
A62579	Behold the Fowls of the Air, they sow not, neither do they reap, and yet your heavenly Father takes care of them; are not ye much better than they?
A62579	Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit, and find none; cut it down; why cumbreth it the ground?
A62579	But if it be further argued; If we grant in one case, that those things which seem to be contradictions to us may be possible, why not in all cases?
A62579	But what use do Men commonly make of it?
A62579	But whoso hath this worlds goods, and seeth his brother have need,& c. how dwelleth the love of God in him?
A62579	By denying submission to his Laws, we question his Omnipresence, and say, Doth God see?
A62579	Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb?
A62579	Can any Man in earnest think, that God who is a Spirit is pleased with the pompous bravery and pageantry which affects our Senses?
A62579	Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him, saith the Lord?
A62579	Can''st thou by searching find out God?
A62579	Canst thou by searching find out God?
A62579	Canst thou by searching find out God?
A62579	Canst thou by searching find out God?
A62579	Canst thou by the most diligent search and enquiry come to a perfect Knowledge and Undrestanding of him?
A62579	Canst thou do this?
A62579	Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
A62579	Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
A62579	Canst thou find out the Almighty, that is God, to Perfection?
A62579	Canst thou find out the Almighty, usque ad ultima, to the very last and utmost of him?
A62579	Canst thou give an account how the Soul is united to the Body, by what bands or holds a Spirit is so closely and intimately conjoyned to Matter?
A62579	Canst thou pierce into the center of his Perfections, and dive into the bottom of them?
A62579	Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for wherein is he to be accounted of?
A62579	Despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long- suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
A62579	Despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long- suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
A62579	Despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long- suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
A62579	Despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and patience, and long- suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
A62579	Despisest thou the riches of his goodness, not knowing that the goodness of God leads to repentance?
A62579	Do we not remember how God spared us in such a danger, when we gave our selves for lost?
A62579	Do we not see, that many times the battel is not to the strong?
A62579	Do we thus requite the Lord, foolish people and unwise?
A62579	Does not the Scripture tell us, that God sits in the Heavens, and dwells on high, that Heaven is his throne, and that it is the City of the great God?
A62579	Dost thou fear man that shall die, and the son of man that shall be made as grass?
A62579	Dost thou know how they can move themselves to a great distance in a moment, and dart themselves from one part of the World to another?
A62579	Dost thou know how thy self understandest any thing, and canst retain the distinct Ideas and Notions of so many Objects without confusion?
A62579	Dost thou know the wondrous works of him that is perfect in knowledge?
A62579	Dost thou think it desirable, that God should deal thus with thee, and let fly his Judgments upon thee so soon as ever thou hast sinned?
A62579	Doth Christ weep over impenitent Sinners, because they will not know the things of their peace?
A62579	Doth a Fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
A62579	Doth it not naturally lead and invite us to repentance?
A62579	Doth not he condescend so low as to represent himself afflicted for the miseries of Men, and to rejoyce in the conversion of a Sinner?
A62579	Doth not the Lord''s Prayer teach us to say, Our Father which art in heaven?
A62579	First, Whether an actual intention of God''s Glory be necessary to make every Action that we do, good and acceptable to God?
A62579	For who hath known the mind of the Lord?
A62579	For why should we pretend to know the utmost of what infinite Power can do, any more than the utmost of what infinite Understanding can know?
A62579	Have they not many checks and rebukes in their own Spirits, much disturbance and confusion of Mind, when they are enterprising a wicked thing?
A62579	Having begun in the spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
A62579	He is mighty in strength; excellent in power; who is like unto him?
A62579	He 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?
A62579	He who is so patient as to the punishment of our sins, is almost impatient of our repentance for them; Wilt thou not be made clean?
A62579	How can we conceive of God, but as of an Eternal Being?
A62579	How careless have we been of our own happiness, and what pains have we taken to undo our selves?
A62579	How do anger and revenge boyl within us?
A62579	How do we upbraid Men with their faults?
A62579	How doth God condescend in those pathetical Expressions, which he useth concerning his People?
A62579	How great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty?
A62579	How is God with us; How does he pitch his Tabernacle among Men; if his essential Presence be confin''d to Heaven?
A62579	How is it consistent with the goodness of God, to permit so great an Evil as this to come into the World?
A62579	How is that?
A62579	How long shall the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
A62579	How many Parables doth he use to set forth the mercy of God to us, with a design to draw us to the imitation of it?
A62579	How many things must concur to make our hearts tender, and melt our spirits, and stir our bowels, to make us pitiful and compassionate?
A62579	How mindful of an Injury?
A62579	How often would I have gathered you, and you would not?
A62579	How precious are thy thoughts unto me?
A62579	How shall I give thee up, Ephraim?
A62579	How shall I give thee up, Ephraim?
A62579	If not, why do Men trifle, and make an Objection against the long- suffering of God, which they would be very loth should be made good upon them?
A62579	Is God good to us?
A62579	Is God so good to his Creatures?
A62579	Is he grieved that Men will undo themselves, and will not be saved?
A62579	Is he not said to come down and draw near to us, and to be afar off from us?
A62579	Is he not said to look down from heaven, and to hear in heaven his dwelling- place?
A62579	Is it any contradiction, that the same thing should be three and one in several respects?
A62579	Is it not enough for us to abuse them, but will we challenge God also of unkindness in giving them?
A62579	Is it not enough to be injurious to our selves, but will we be unthankful to God also?
A62579	Is it not said that he doth not dwell in temples made with hands?
A62579	Is not God patient, when the whole world lies in wickedness, and the earth is overspread with violence, and is full of the habitations of cruelty?
A62579	It is objected, That if God do not desire the ruin of Sinners, but their repentance, whence comes it to pass, that all are not brought to repentance?
A62579	Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?
A62579	Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming?
A62579	Lo these are part of his ways: But how little a portion is heard of him?
A62579	Lord, what shall this man do?
A62579	May not God be patient, tho''Sinners be impenitent?
A62579	May not God use wise and fitting means for our recovery, because we are so foolish as not to make a wise use of them?
A62579	May not he be good, tho''we be so foolish as to make an ill use of his goodness?
A62579	None saith, Where is God my Maker?
A62579	None saith, where is God my maker?
A62579	Now can Evil come from a Good God?
A62579	Now how does this agree with his Immensity and Omnipresence?
A62579	Now what a folly is this, because punishment doth not come, therefore to hasten it, and to draw it down upon our selves?
A62579	Now what an encouragement is this to us, that we serve him and suffer for him who lives for ever, and will make us happy for ever?
A62579	Now what application doth our Saviour make of this?
A62579	Now what saith the Lord to him?
A62579	Now what use ought we in reason to make of this Patience of God towards us?
A62579	Now where did St. Paul write so, unless in this Text; Not knowing that the goodness of God leads to repentance?
A62579	O Jerusalem, wilt thou not be made clean?
A62579	Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed to him again?
A62579	Peter comes to him, and asks him, How often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him?
A62579	See how unreasonably Men bring ruin upon themselves; so that well might the Psalmist ask that Question, Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge?
A62579	Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself?
A62579	Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellow servant, even as I had pity on thee?
A62579	Some degree of this was in the Temple, which is the reason of Solomon''s Admiration, will God indeed dwell on Earth?
A62579	The first Question is undoubtedly general, concerning the Nature and Perfections of God in general; Canst thou by searching find out God?
A62579	The mercies of God''s Patience are no more to be numbred than our sins; we may say with David, How great is the sum of them?
A62579	They encourage themselves in an evil matter, they commune of laying snares privately; for they say, Who shall see them?
A62579	This the Psalmist observes here, Where shall I go from thy Spirit?
A62579	This you have expressed here in the words of Zophar, Canst thou by searching find out God?
A62579	Thou canst not comprehend the Divine Nature and Perfections in general; Canst thou find out the Almighty to Perfection?
A62579	Thou even thou art to be feared, and who may stand before thee when thou art angry?
A62579	Thus natural Light would reason, and so the King of Nineveh, a Heathen, reasons, Who can tell if God will turn and repent?
A62579	Thus saith the Lord, behold, heaven is my throne, and the earth is my foot- stool: where is the house that ye build unto me?
A62579	To whom sware he, that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
A62579	To whom will ye liken God?
A62579	Was not this that which I said when I was yet in my own country?
A62579	What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done to it?
A62579	What have we that we have not received?
A62579	What have we to be proud of?
A62579	What is become of that Declaration of Christ so frequently repeated in the Gospel, concerning his coming to Judgment?
A62579	What may we not hope and assuredly expect from immense and boundless goodness?
A62579	What other interpretation can we make of his Patience, what other use in reason should we make of it, but to repent and return, that we may be saved?
A62579	What reason have we then thankfully to acknowledge and admire the Mercy of God to us?
A62579	What vile and low Submission do we require of them, before we will receive them into Favour, and grant them Peace?
A62579	When God hath laid out the riches of his goodness and patience upon Sinners, will they challenge him as accessory to their ruin?
A62579	When I consider the heavens, the work of thy fingers, the Moon and the Stars which thou hast ordained; what is man, that thou art mindful of him?
A62579	When any evil or misery is upon us, would we not reckon it a mercy to be rescued and delivered from it?
A62579	When he seemed resolved upon it, to destroy the murmuring Israelites, yet how often, at the intercession of Moses, did he turn away his wrath?
A62579	When shall these things be?
A62579	When thanks is all God expects from us, can we not afford to give him that?
A62579	Where is the sounding of thy bowels, and of thy mercies, are they restrained?
A62579	Where then is cause of boasting?
A62579	Where then is your happy and eternal Being, by which two Epithets you express God?
A62579	Wherefore do the wicked live, yea become old?
A62579	Wherefore doth the wicked live, yea, become old?
A62579	Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the Lord, to do evil in his sight?
A62579	Wherefore if God so cloath the grass of the field, shall he not much more cloath you?
A62579	Wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue?
A62579	Whether the Glory of God may, or ought to be considered, as an End separate and distinct from our own Happiness?
A62579	Whither shall I go from thy spirit?
A62579	Whither shall I go from thy spirit?
A62579	Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning?
A62579	Who knoweth the power of thine anger?
A62579	Who knoweth the power of thine anger?
A62579	Who may glory in his sight?
A62579	Whom wilt thou fear, if not him who can make thee extremely happy or miserable for ever?
A62579	Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
A62579	Why boasteth thou thy self in mischief, O mighty man?
A62579	Why should they be smitten any more?
A62579	Why then is God represented to us so often in Scripture by the Parts and Members of Mens Bodies?
A62579	Why will ye dye, O house of Israel?
A62579	Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
A62579	Will ye provoke the Lord to jealousie?
A62579	and canst thou think he will not pardon thee upon thy repentance?
A62579	and canst thou think that he is unwilling to forgive?
A62579	and how he recovered us in such a sickness, when the Physician gave us up for gone?
A62579	and is not the wrath of the Eternal God much more terrible?
A62579	and is there knowledge in the most high?
A62579	and shall not we believe that he is in good earnest?
A62579	and the thunder of his voice who can understand?
A62579	and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
A62579	and what use we made of this Patience and long- suffering of God towards us?
A62579	and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?
A62579	and where is the place of my rest?
A62579	and who hath been his counsellour?
A62579	and why art thou so disquieted within me?
A62579	and, Canst thou find out the Almighty to perfection?
A62579	are ye stronger than he?
A62579	but thou mayst be surprized by a sudden stroke which may give thee no warning, leave thee no space of repentance?
A62579	canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
A62579	do not I fill heaven and earth, saith the Lord?
A62579	for who hath resisted his Will?
A62579	how great is the sum of them?
A62579	how great is thy goodness, how great is thy beauty?
A62579	how much more when he hath only said, wash and be clean?
A62579	how shall I deliver thee, Israel?
A62579	if any one have offended, or provoked us; how hard are we to be reconciled?
A62579	l. 1. saith to the Epicureans, ubi igitur vestrum beatum& aeternum quibus duobus verbis significatis deum?
A62579	or as the word may be rendred, to them that were disobedient?
A62579	or the Son of man, that thou visitest him?
A62579	or what likeness will ye compare to him?
A62579	or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
A62579	or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
A62579	put it as a strange question, will God indeed dwell on the earth?
A62579	that he who is our great Benefactor should put up such affronts from those who depend upon his bounty, and are maintained at his charge?
A62579	that he who is the Former of all things, should endure his own Creatures to rebel against him, and the work of his hands to strike at him?
A62579	that he, in whose hands our breath is, should suffer Men to breath out Oaths, and Curses, and Blasphemies against him?
A62579	that in the last days there should come scoffers, who should walk after their own hearts lusts, saying, Where is the promise of his coming?
A62579	that is to Judgment; and of the end of the world?
A62579	till seven times?
A62579	when shall it once be?
A62579	when shall it once be?
A62579	when shall it once be?
A62579	when the wicked persecutes and devours the man that is more righteous than he?
A62579	where Ahashuerus says concerning Haman, Who is he?
A62579	wherefore when I looked it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
A62579	who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
A62579	wilt thou not be made clean?
A62579	with how little remorse can we kill a Flea, or tread upon a Worm?
A62628	6. says God there, I hearkened and I heard, but they spake not aright; no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done?
A62628	And again, O Jerusalem, wilt thou not be made clean?
A62628	And are we then to make no difference betwixt our Enemies and our Friends?
A62628	And at last, when nothing would do, with what difficulty and reluctancy does God deliver them up into the hands of their Enemies?
A62628	And can any of us be so obstinate and hard- hearted, as not presently to resolve to repent and return, and to meet the compassions of such a Father?
A62628	And how can he have the confidence to hope, that God will hear his cries and regard his tears that are forc''d from him in this day of his necessity?
A62628	And how can we chuse but dread lest their Fate should overtake us, the Example of whose Faults and Follies we do in so many things so nearly resemble?
A62628	And how close did they follow one another?
A62628	And how glad is he when any good man will step in and interpose to stay his hand?
A62628	And how hardly are the best of us brought to love our Enemies, and to forgive them?
A62628	And how little reason is there to glory in that, which is so frequently foil''d by an unequal strength?
A62628	And how severely does Nathan the Prophet reproach David upon this account?
A62628	And how was Xerxes his mighty Army overthrown, almost by a handful of Grecians?
A62628	And may not God likewise say to us, as He did more than once to the Jews?
A62628	And now give me leave to ask You, as St. Paul did King Agrippa, Do you believe the Scr ● ptures?
A62628	And now if you ask me, for what Sins more especially God hath sent all these Judgments upon us?
A62628	And now we may ask the Question which Job does, Where shall wisdom be found, and where is the place of understanding?
A62628	And now what may God justly expect from us, as a meet return for his Goodness to us?
A62628	And now, O our God, what shall we say after this?
A62628	And shall we not for His sake, for whose sake we our selves are forgiven, be willing to forgive one another?
A62628	And the People spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt, to die in the Wilderness?
A62628	And what a miserable confusion must they needs be in, who are thus surpriz''d either by the one or the other?
A62628	And what a wide distance is there between our expectations from GOD, and our dealings with Men?
A62628	And what an infatuation was this?
A62628	And whether it may not be in his power to revenge a spiteful and needless word by a shrewd turn?
A62628	And why should any man be proud of his danger, of that which one time or other may be the certain and only cause of his ruin?
A62628	And yet after all this, how little is this Duty practis''d among Christians?
A62628	Are we guilty of the evil said of us?
A62628	Are we innocent?
A62628	Art thou sure thou art in the right?
A62628	But how few have attain''d to this perfection?
A62628	But how little do men live under the power of these convictions?
A62628	But if they hear any good of their Adversaries, with what nicety and caution do they receive it?
A62628	But to come nearer to our own Times, What fearful Judgments and Calamities of War, and Pestilence, and Fire, have many of us seen?
A62628	But what if after all, this Enemy of ours, this hated man, prove to be one of our best Friends?
A62628	But with what face or reason dost thou expect this from others, to whom thy carriage hath been so contrary?
A62628	But yet how grosly do many of us fail of the faithful discharge of the substantial parts of this high Office?
A62628	Can we make a jest of so serious a matter?
A62628	Consider also, whether you may not come hereafter to be acquainted with him, related to him, or obliged by him whom you have thus injured?
A62628	Did they not still go on in their sins; nay, and add to them upon these Occasions, fasting for strife and debate and oppression?
A62628	Do we believe the Bible to be the Word of God?
A62628	Does any man think that he can be saved without loving God and Christ?
A62628	Does any man think, that any but the children of God shall be heirs of eternal Life?
A62628	Especially if God breathe upon the Counsels of men, how are their designs blasted?
A62628	For who can certainly tell that if a man lived never so long he would never repent and grow better?
A62628	For who is fit to interpose in such hot and fierce differences?
A62628	For who is he, saith the Son of Sirach, that hath not offended with his tongue?
A62628	God forbid?
A62628	Hast thou not heard long ago, that I have done it; and of ancient times that I have formed it?
A62628	Hath a man Reason on his side?
A62628	Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge?
A62628	He can hardly find words enough to express how great Sinners they were; and he adds the reason in the next verse, Why should they be smitten any more?
A62628	He sheweth no mercy to a man like himself, and doth he ask forgiveness of his own Sins?
A62628	How are they infatuated and foil''d in their deepest contrivances, and snared in the work of their own hands?
A62628	How art thou cut down to the ground that didst weaken the Nations?
A62628	How cold, and how careless, and how inconstant are we in the Exercises of Piety, and how defective in every part of our Duty?
A62628	How frequently and how easily are we stop''d or diverted in our Christian course by very little temptations?
A62628	How great was it to the old World, when the long suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, for the space of an hundred and twenty years?
A62628	How hard a matter is it to be truly wise?
A62628	How loth is God that things should come to this?
A62628	How loth is He that things should come to this extremity?
A62628	How many( says he) are unworthy of the light, and yet the Day visits them?
A62628	How often would I have gathered you, says our B. Saviour to the Jews, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings?
A62628	How shall I deliver thee Judah?
A62628	How shall I give thee up Ephraim?
A62628	How shall I make thee as Admah?
A62628	How shall we then be confounded, to find the truth and reality of those things which we will not now be persuaded to believe?
A62628	How strangely inconsistent is our practice and our hope?
A62628	How very partial and unequal are we, to hope so easily to be forgiven, and yet to be so hard to forgive?
A62628	I may say to these as the Master of the Ship did to Jonah, when he was fast asleep in the Storm, What meanest thou, O sleeper?
A62628	I proceed to consider, What it is that is matter of true glory?
A62628	I proceed to the Second Observation from the Text, namely, What is the only proper and effectual means to prevent the ruin of a sinful People?
A62628	I return now to the Text, Did ye at all fast unto me, even unto me?
A62628	If a man aim at Riches, what more proper to raise an Estate than understanding and industry?
A62628	If a man aspire to Honour, what more likely to prefer him to the King''s favour and service than dexterity and skill in business?
A62628	If thou dost well, saith God to Cain, shalt thou not be accepted?
A62628	In a word, were they not worse rather than better for them?
A62628	In these sad and disconsolate circumstances, what was it that bore up his spirit?
A62628	Is it no Crime by the breath of our mouth at once to blast a man''s Reputation, and to ruin his Children, perhaps to all Posterity?
A62628	Is it such a Fast as I have chosen, a Day for a man to afflict his Soul?
A62628	Is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him?
A62628	Is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, to spread sackcloth and ashes under him?
A62628	Is not this the Fast that I have chosen?
A62628	Lastly, It is objected, What can we do more to our best Friends, than to love them and bless them, than to do good to them and to pray for them?
A62628	May not God justly expostulate this matter with us, as he did of old with the People of the Jews?
A62628	May we not appeal to God in this, as Abraham did in another Case?
A62628	No consideration and care of themselves, no concernment for their own lasting Interest and Happiness?
A62628	No right sense and judgment of things?
A62628	Nothing but our Sins can part God and us: Who shall separate us, saith the Apostle, from the love of God?
A62628	Now can any man believe this, that hath any tolerable Notion either of the Goodness or Justice of God?
A62628	Now if a man design Victory, what more probable means to overcome in a Race than swiftness?
A62628	Now what would any of us do in such a Case, if it were not for God?
A62628	O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee?
A62628	O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved; how long shall vain thoughts lodge within thee?
A62628	O Judah, what shall I do unto thee?
A62628	One man beareth hatred against another, and doth he seek pardon of the Lord?
A62628	Or if by might we understand military force and power, how little likewise is that to be gloried in?
A62628	Or if they could have any, what time will there then be to put them in execution?
A62628	Or if they do in some sort believe it, is it credible that they do at all consider it seriously, and lay it to heart?
A62628	Secondly, Because when Knowledge and Wisdom are with much difficulty in any competent measure attained, how easily are they lost?
A62628	Secondly, If we ought to be thus affected towards our Enemies, how great ought our kindness, and the expressions of it, to be to others?
A62628	Secondly, When knowledge and wisdom are with great difficulty in any competent measure attain''d, how easily are they lost?
A62628	Shall I not visit for these things, saith the Lord?
A62628	So that after all our Boasts of the Excellency of our Religion, where is the practice of it?
A62628	So that if God be on our side, who can be against us?
A62628	So that we may say with Ezra, And now, O our God, what shall we say unto thee after this?
A62628	Speak thy Conscience Man, and say whether, as bad as thou art, thou wouldst not be glad to have every man''s, especially every good man''s good word?
A62628	Take no thought saying, what shall we eat?
A62628	That be far from thee, to do after this manner: Shall not the Judge of all the Earth do right?
A62628	The Question is, In what Cases by the general Rules of Scripture and right Reason we are warranted to say the evil of others that is true?
A62628	There be many, says he, that say, Who will shew us any good?
A62628	Therefore what- ever we say or do, let it be sincere?
A62628	These God propounds to our choice: And if the consideration of them will not prevail with us to leave our sins, and to reform our lives, what will?
A62628	This then is the plain meaning of the Text, That nothing in the world but God can make man happy: Whom have I in Heaven but thee?
A62628	Unless it be first naturally known that God is a God of Truth, what ground is there for the belief of his Word?
A62628	What a conflict is here?
A62628	What can be imagin''d more slow, and mild, and merciful, than the proceedings of the Divine justice against a sinful People?
A62628	What can be more severe than that of St. James?
A62628	What could we in reason expect after all this, but utter ruin and destruction?
A62628	What more likely to prevail in War than strength?
A62628	What terrible havock did the Sword make amongst us for many years?
A62628	What thoughts can the wisest men then have about them, in the midst of so much noise and terror?
A62628	What will we do when this change comes, if we have made no preparation for it?
A62628	What would he have more?
A62628	What?
A62628	Wherefore hast thou despis''d the Commandment of the Lord to do evil in his sight?
A62628	Wherefore have we afflicted our souls, and thou takest no knowledge?
A62628	Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not?
A62628	Who among us could have imagin''d, but a few Months ago, so happy and so speedy an end of our fears and troubles?
A62628	Who shall abide in thy Tabernacle, who shall dwell in thy holy Hill?
A62628	Whom have I in heaven but thee?
A62628	Whom have I in heaven but thee?
A62628	Why should they be smitten any more?
A62628	Why then does he fly out into passion?
A62628	Why?
A62628	Will nothing but sad and bitter experience be an admonition to us?
A62628	Will nothing but the last necessity and extremity of things bring us to our selves and teach us wisdom?
A62628	Wilt thou call this a Fast and an acceptable day to the Lord?
A62628	Wilt thou call this a Fast, and an acceptable Day to the Lord?
A62628	Wilt thou destroy the righteous with the wicked?
A62628	With what face can he apply himself to God in this extremity, whom he hath so disdainfully neglected all the days of his Life?
A62628	With what heart can he set about so great a Work, for which there is so little time?
A62628	With what trouble and confusion does Ezra, upon a solemn Day of Fasting and Humiliation, acknowledge and bewail the Sins of the People?
A62628	\ But how was this a tempting of Christ?
A62628	a Day for a man to afflict his soul?
A62628	and shall not my soul be avenged on such a Nation as this?
A62628	and with what coldness do they at last admit it?
A62628	art thou also become like unto us?
A62628	hast thou seen the treasures of the Hail?
A62628	how art thou fallen from Heaven, O Lucifer, Son of the morning?
A62628	how feeble, how cold a comfort is this?
A62628	how little is it that a sick and dying man can do in such a strait of time?
A62628	how many objections do they raise against it?
A62628	how shall I set thee as Zeboim?
A62628	or what shall we drink?
A62628	or wherewithal shall we be cloathed?
A62628	render it, So is the man that defameth his neighbour, and saith, Am I not in sport?
A62628	shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
A62628	that is, did these Fasts truly serve to any Religious end and purpose?
A62628	that is, how long wilt thou delude thy self with vain hopes of escaping the judgments of God by any other way than by repentance?
A62628	the exactor of gold ceased?
A62628	thou art a happy man, and hast reason to be pleased: What cause then, what need is there of being angry?
A62628	what tenderness and yerning of his bowels towards them?
A62628	what was the cause of this great shame and confusion of face?
A62628	what wilt thou say when he shall punish thee?
A62628	when shall it once be?
A62628	who can do it without danger, or with any hopes of success?
A62581	* Optatus, concerning the Controversy with the Donatists, asks who shall be Judge?
A62581	And are not we hugely too blame, if we do not cry up such mighty Conquerors as these are?
A62581	And does not his own Objection rebound upon himself?
A62581	And here in Europe, hath not a great part of Poland, Hungary, both Germany''s, France, and Switzerland?
A62581	And how doth he prove the contrary?
A62581	And if it were not for this very doctrine he was there censured, why doth Mr. White set himself purposely to defend it in his Tabulae suffragiales?
A62581	And if the greater part of Christians may fall off from Tradition, what Demonstration can make it impossible for the lesser to do so?
A62581	And if this principle were true, why have we not as true an account of the eldest ages of the world, as of any other?
A62581	And if we can not be so satisfi''d, where''s the certainty of Oral Tradition?
A62581	And in what Age was this done?
A62581	And is it not as impossible in the Church of England?
A62581	And is it not strange he should expect any particular proofs of so innocent and necessary a thing to the being of a Church?
A62581	And is not this argued like a Demonstrator?
A62581	And what can this be else but to make new articles of faith?
A62581	And what shall hinder the People from embracing those Corruptions?
A62581	And where delivered?
A62581	And why should it be more necessary for us to know this, than for them?
A62581	And why then were any matters of fact and points of faith inserted in the Books of the New Testament?
A62581	And yet we see even then the doctrine of Christ was mistaken; and is it such a wonder it should be in succeeding ages?
A62581	Are not these fair Concessions, which the evidence and force of Truth have extorted from these Authors?
A62581	Are there no passages in Books so plain, that a man may be sufficiently satisfied that this and no other is the certain sense of them?
A62581	Are those bare probabilities which leave no suspition of doubt behind them?
A62581	Baronius* speaks more particularly, What was then the face of the Roman Church?
A62581	But are not Commentators, both Protestant and Popish, generally agreed about the sense of Scripture in that Point?
A62581	But doth Mr. S. find any thing to this purpose in the Apologies of the Fathers?
A62581	But he thereby notes the unconsonancy of my carriage, Wherein I wonder?
A62581	But how do the Church of Rome know that they have perfectly true copies of the Scriptures, in the Original Languages?
A62581	But how much to the contrary is there very obvious in the proceedings of it?
A62581	But if Mr. S. will not believe me in saying thus, what reason have I to believe him in saying otherwise?
A62581	But if he can not do this, why does he make that an Argument against our Rule, which is as strong against his own?
A62581	But if tradition be so infallible, why have we not the ancient story of Britain as exact as the modern?
A62581	But is the present Pope with Mr. S. a private opinator, or was the last a meer schoolman?
A62581	But is this any peculiar Consectary from the truth of this Proposition?
A62581	But my demands go on, What evidence can you bring to convince me both that the Church always observed this rule, and could never be deceived in it?
A62581	But now how will he reconcile this Discourse with the Grounds of his Demonstration?
A62581	But suppose we say, That the Articles of the Apostles Creed contain all necessary matters of simple belief, what hath Mr. S. to say against this?
A62581	But that I may not think him superficial as well as his way, he puts a profound Question to me, What do I think Controversie is?
A62581	But was it any thing but justice and reason in me to expect and call for a demonstration from them who talk of nothing under it?
A62581	But what of that?
A62581	But who can warrant, That due proposals will always be made to men, and due care used by them?
A62581	But who so blind as he that will not see, that the sense of Scripture is as plain in all necessary points of Faith?
A62581	But why can we not, by the Scriptures, mean the sense of them?
A62581	But why do I say more contentedly?
A62581	But why, I wonder, should Mr. S. think, that if I do not allow of oral tradition, I must needs question whether there were any Fathers?
A62581	But will he say, the Pope doth not challenge this?
A62581	But, saith he, is that which is wholly built on the nature of things superficial?
A62581	By what means a compleat history of all passages relating to it may be conveyed?
A62581	Can any thing be finer than for a man to say that by Pompey''s success in fighting against Caesar, he means that Caesar had beaten Pompey?
A62581	Can he shew by any necessary Argument, that it is naturally impossible that all the Relations concerning that place should be false?
A62581	Christs passion, resurrection, and the nature of his Kingdom?
A62581	Comes it from the Authority of the Lord, and of the Gospel, or from the Epistles of the Apostles?
A62581	Did not Mr. Charles Thynne pretend to have demonstrated that a man at one jump might leap from London to Rome?
A62581	Did they not know, that the safety of Christianity did not depend upon this Book?
A62581	Do not Thomas, and Scotus( as Mr. White tells us*) all along pretend to demonstrate?
A62581	Do not mankind think themselves sufficiently assured of the Antiquity and Authors of several Books, for which they have not Demonstrative evidence?
A62581	Do not they differ about the meaning of these Texts among themselves, as much as they do from the Fathers, and from the Protestants?
A62581	Do not they pretend and appeal to what they received from their Fore- fathers as well as the Latins?
A62581	Do they say, that Religion is capable of strict and rigorous demonstration?
A62581	Does he mean of plain Texts, or obscure ones?
A62581	Doth not the same follow from every Proposition?
A62581	Doth not this Argument extend to the lives of Christians, as well as their Belief?
A62581	For I pray Sir, what doth Mr, S. think of the Greek Church?
A62581	For do I not mention believing first, and then doing?
A62581	For doth Mr. S. hope to perswade men, that tradition is a rule of faith by his Book or not?
A62581	For if the assistance be infallible, what matter is it whether the doctrine hath been revealed or no?
A62581	For if the degeneracy be in 1665. or any years after, what becomes of M. S''s demonstration then, that no errors could come into the Church?
A62581	For it must either acknowledg some Books have been controverted, or not; if not, why doth he make a supposition of controverted Books?
A62581	For neither is there a new object of faith; for how can that be, which common sense draws from what is believed already?
A62581	For since they resolved their faith into the written Books, how is it possible they should believe on the account of an oral tradition?
A62581	For to take his own instance, will any man in his senses say, that he that believes homo est animal rationale, doth not believe homo est animal?
A62581	For to what purpose should a man write a Book to prove that which every man must assent to, without any proof, so soon as it is propounded to him?
A62581	For what if there was no need of writing this Doctrine, whilst those living Oracles, the Apostles, were present with the Church?
A62581	For what is to be said to Testimonies brought at a venture?
A62581	For what though the Priest tell me this was the Doctrine of Christ delivered to him?
A62581	For who can imagine, but the barbarous Nations were as unwilling to deceive their posterity as any other?
A62581	For why should men make any more scruple of damning themselves and their Posterity by teaching them false Doctrines, than by living wicked Lives?
A62581	Had not men eyes, and ears, and common sense in Christ and the Apostles times?
A62581	Had not those in it eyes, ears, and other senses, as well as in the Latin?
A62581	Hath Christ taken care to keep his Church from Error, but not from Vice?
A62581	Hath not Mr. White now done his Rule of Faith great service by this Answer?
A62581	Have not the Kingdoms of great Brittain, Denmark, Sweden, and a considerable part of Ireland, in Mr. S''s opinion deserted Tradition?
A62581	Have those Christian Nations which are turn''d Mahometans and Pagans failed in their Faith or not?
A62581	How a Body can be present in a place after the manner of a spirit?
A62581	How a matter of fact evident to the world comes to be conveyed to posterity?
A62581	How deformed?
A62581	How does the living voice of the present Church assure us, that what Books are now received by her were ever received by her?
A62581	How the Traditionary Church can be more certain of the true sense of Scripture, than Protestants?
A62581	How the Traditionary Church can be more certain of the true sense of Scripture, than the Protestants?
A62581	How they can be more certain of the true sense of Tradition, than Protestants of the true sense of Scripture?
A62581	How vain is this?
A62581	How will Mr. S. reconcile this with his grand Exception against Scripture?
A62581	I ask, Do they receive it as ever delivered for such?
A62581	I can not enter into Mr. S''s apprehension, how 24 letters by their various disposition can express matters of faith?
A62581	I enquire farther, how I shall know what is the certain sense of Scripture so far as it concerns these points?
A62581	If for the government of your spiritual life you have as much as for the management of your natural and civil life, what can you expect more?
A62581	If it can not, how am I nearer satisfaction in this point, by acknowledging the infallibility of the Church?
A62581	If it can not, how can we be satisfied of the certain sense of any Doctrine Orally delivered?
A62581	If not, how can men ground their faith upon it?
A62581	If oral Tradition have brought down a certain sense of these Texts, why do they not produce it, and agree in it?
A62581	If oral Tradition were the more certain way, why was any thing written at all?
A62581	If so much be required to free a man from reasonable doubting concerning a Book, how happy are they that have attained to Infallibility?
A62581	If so, Whether this be clearer in Scripture, than that Gad hath hands, feet,& c?
A62581	If there be none, can any thing be spoken in plainer words than it may be written?
A62581	If there were speculators in former ages as well as this, whether did those men believe their own speculations or no?
A62581	If these be uncertain, where''s the constancy and unerrableness he talks so much of?
A62581	If they may believe this, doth it not necessarily follow, that they are bound to believe whatever they declare to be matter of faith?
A62581	In answer to this, Mr. S. wishes, I would tell him first what evidence means, whether a strong fancy, or a demonstration?
A62581	In such a degenerate state of a Church, what strength is there in this Principle, Nothing is to be admitted but what descends by Tradition?
A62581	In the same Chapter he complains, Who is there that preaches the Gospel to the People?
A62581	Is Mr. S. sufficiently assured that there is such a part of the World as America?
A62581	Is it greater than the security which these grounds afford?
A62581	Is it necessary that the hopes of Heaven, and the fears of Hell should keep Christians constant to the Doctrine of Christ?
A62581	Is it not very pretty to see what pitiful shifts men that serve an Hypothesis are put to?
A62581	Is it now repugnant to common sense, that this opinion should be believed or entertained in the Church?
A62581	Is it possible to believe, that any thing consists of parts, and not believe that that whole is greater than any of those parts?
A62581	Is it then possible to know the Churches judgement or not?
A62581	Is this any argument that those Texts are not sufficiently plain?
A62581	Is this the man who made choice of reason for his weapon?
A62581	Is this the victory over me, Mr. S. mentions to be so easie a thing?
A62581	Is, What is the next and immediate means whereby the knowledge of Christs Doctrine is conveyed to us?
A62581	Let him therefore speak out whether he doth believe any such thing as inherent infallibility in the definitions of Pope and Councils?
A62581	Must I believe a very few persons, whom the rest disown as heretical and seditious?
A62581	Nay, why were letters invented, and writing ever used, if tradition had been found so infallible?
A62581	Now how is this an Argument against those, who by the Scriptures, must mean unsensed letters and characters?
A62581	Now if this be a true representation of the state of the Roman Church in those Ages, was not this a very fit time for the Devil to play his Pranks in?
A62581	Now is not this a clear evidence that this which he calls a Demonstration a Priori, is no such thing?
A62581	Now, who sees not that the force of all this lies not in proving the minor proposition, or that no age could conspire to deceive another?
A62581	Of a right perswasion?
A62581	Or are these only the opinions and practises of some Schoolmen among them, and not the doctrine and practise of their Church?
A62581	Or if any thing more monstrous than that can be imagined, it might then have taken place; for what Weeds would not have grown in so rank a Soyl?
A62581	Or is Christianity only fitted to form mens minds to a right belief, but of no efficacy to govern their lives?
A62581	Or was the Council of Sardica?
A62581	Or where does he see General Councils?
A62581	Secondly, He asks*, Is it a Fundamental that Christ is God?
A62581	Secondly, Who deny the Millennium; Many Christians, saith Justin; but what Christians?
A62581	So that this Question, What is the Rule of Christian faith?
A62581	THe Question he propounds to himself to debate, is, What is the Rule of Faith?
A62581	That is, does it say there must be a total Apostacy in faith before the year 1664?
A62581	That no man is to do any thing but what is wise and vertuous, does secure the generality of mankind from folly and vice?
A62581	That nothing but Truth is to be assented to, doth secure men from Error?
A62581	That there should be any mistake about the Doctrine of Christ, when there was so much Ignorance?
A62581	Then he will ask him farther, Is there not a necessary connexion and relation between a constant Cause, and its formal Effect?
A62581	This is no more easily said then understood; for if these be implied in the former, how can there come a new obligation to believe them?
A62581	To speak plainer, is it not possible for men to believe the Pope and Council infallible in their decrees?
A62581	To these I might add many more; as, How a thing can be said to be changed into another thing which did exist before?
A62581	Upon which very triumphantly he concludes, What''s now become of your difficulty?
A62581	Was ever a good cause driven to such miserable shifts as these are, especially among those who pretend to wit and learning?
A62581	Was it impossible there should be any neglect of this Duty, when all others failed?
A62581	Was it not a practical Tradition, and performed in a sensible matter?
A62581	Was not every age among them as unwilling to deceive their posterity as elsewhere?
A62581	Was not such an Age a fit season to plant the Doctrine of Transubstantiation in?
A62581	Was the Council of Lateran a General one?
A62581	Was there ever a more knowing and diligent Teacher of this Doctrine than our Saviour?
A62581	Well, but Pope and Councils neither define new things, nor ground themselves on them: but what means the man of reason?
A62581	Well, but what says this Synod?
A62581	Were not their senses, who saw those matters of fact, as uncapable of being deceived as others?
A62581	Were not those Catholicks first, who afterwards became Hereticks; and when they became so, did they not differ in points of Belief?
A62581	Were they causes of actual will in Christians to believe well, when they lived so ill?
A62581	Were they strongly applied, or were they not?
A62581	What a stir is made about the sense of Dabo tibi Claves, Tu es Petrus,& super hanc Petram,& c. Pasce oves?
A62581	What can hinder men so disposed from corrupting the Doctrine of Christ, and suiting it to their own Lusts and Interests?
A62581	What fault I pray hath the Catholick Religion committed, that it must now come to be excused instead of being defended?
A62581	What is it these men mean, when they cry up their own way for demonstrative, and say that we build our faith meerly on probabilities?
A62581	What is there in all this Demonstration, which may not be accommodated to the Greek Church with as much force and advantage as to the Catholick?
A62581	What saith Mr. S. to this?
A62581	What then shall we expect in Religion, but to see a main advantage on the one side which we may rest our selves on?
A62581	What thinks Mr. S. of all this?
A62581	What, did not they know what their Parents taught them?
A62581	When therefore we enquire what is the Rule of Christian Faith?
A62581	Where I pray in all the proceedings of that Council doth Mr. S. find them define any thing on the account of oral tradition?
A62581	Where are the certain Causes of actual Will to adhere to this Doctrine?
A62581	Where is then the infallibility of oral Tradition?
A62581	Where then is the force of hopes and fears strongly applied?
A62581	Where then shall I satisfie my self, what the sense of your Church is, as to this particular?
A62581	Where there were different apprehensions in one age of the Church, whether there must not be different traditions in the next?
A62581	Where were then the Arguments of Hope and Fear?
A62581	Whether persons agreeing in the substance of doctrines may not differ in their apprehensions of the necessity of them?
A62581	Whether the same vertue of Tradition would not have been as powerful to bring down other Points in which we do not agree, had any such been?
A62581	Whether those things which are capable of being understood when they are spoken, cease to be so when they are written?
A62581	Who can tell but all this may be so?
A62581	Who is so little versed in History, as not to understand the dismal state of Religion in the Romish Church, in those times?
A62581	Who knows how the World may be changed?
A62581	Who shews them the way to Salvation either by Word or Action?
A62581	Why is not the effect produced, the Causes being put actually causing?
A62581	Why not?
A62581	Why so?
A62581	Why then is the contrary doctrine censured and condemned at Rome?
A62581	Why then may not one who after long searching findeth no Infallibility, rest himself on the like, supposing mans nature affords no better?
A62581	Will Mr. S. now say, that in the height of these Heresies the generality of Christians did firmly adhere to Tradition?
A62581	and Mr. S. would make it?
A62581	and can he demonstrate this to any man, without carrying him thither?
A62581	and consequently, whether the resolution of faith be barely into oral tradition?
A62581	and is it not as necessary that these arguments should prevail upon them to the practice of it?
A62581	and what mean their decrees?
A62581	and whether the same vertue were not powerful to bring down this as well as those?
A62581	but be it in faith, be it universal, does it suppose this degeneracy already past, which is only proper to your purpose, or yet to come?
A62581	but he intends, that they deliver no new doctrine: but how must that be tried?
A62581	does it evidently speak of faith, or manners; the Vniversal Church, or particular persons?
A62581	doth not the Greek Church profess to believe on the account of tradition from the Apostles as well as the Latin?
A62581	if it be so, doth it not unavoidably follow, that the faith of men must alter according to the Churches definitions?
A62581	if it did, how comes any thing to be de fide which was not before?
A62581	if not, to what purpose doth he write?
A62581	if not, why may not this opinion be generally received?
A62581	or hath Mr. S. gained the opinion of infallibility both from Pope and Councils, that we must believe his bare word?
A62581	or is it so hard to find it?
A62581	or ought I not rather to take the judgment of the greatest and most approved persons of that Church?
A62581	saith he, why, see we not the place?
A62581	that not the Scripture, but unmistakeable, indefectible Oral Tradition was the Rule of Faith?
A62581	that they make no new definitions: surely not; for then what did they meet for?
A62581	the infallibility of a Pope and Council by immediate assistance of the Holy Ghost?
A62581	to give us demonstrations for the grounds of faith?
A62581	whereas had tradition been so infallible a way of conveying, how could this ever have come into debate among them?
A62581	—* Why should any man now flatter himself with hopes of Preferment, because of his Vertue or Learning?
