8908[ 74:1] Who after all this could doubt the claims of Episcopacy?
38544At one time a peasant came out of his house and called to us in a rough tone of voice,''Boys, where are you?''
38544Can nothing move you, my daughter?
38544Dr. Jonas called into his ear,"Reverend father, are you firmly determined to die upon Christ and the doctrine you have preached?"
38544Evidently vexed at this reply, Urban asked,"Do you think that the elector will go to war on your account?"
38544For he hoped by this visit to the holy(?)
38544For if we could gain peace of conscience by our own works and sufferings, why did He die?

38544How do they read?"

38544Why do you hesitate?"

16797Fly?
16797Then two of his friends put to him the solemn question:''Reverend Father, do you die in Christ and in the doctrine you have constantly preached?'' 16797 [ 28] And, with all, where is the gain or wisdom of blowing smoke upon a diamond?
16797--"And do I not believe that?"

16797But the cardinals said, How can the Church reform itself without a head?
16797But what are oaths and fore- pledges to candidates greedy for office?
16797But what, otherwise, would have become of the Reformation?
16797Charles hurried to convene his council, saying,"Luther is come; what shall we do with him?"
16797Henceforth the question was, Which of them should sway the nations in the time to come?
16797His father hated monkery, and he shared the feeling; but, if it would save him, why hesitate?
16797If he had the truth of God, as he verily believed, what were the pope and all devils against Jehovah?
16797If the strong arm of the emperor should be given to sustain the pope, who would be able to stand?
16797Is he not sworn to defend God''s holy Word and Gospel?
16797It is easy to tell a crab to fly, but will he do it?
16797Luther was told that it was useless to think that the civil powers would go to war for his protection; and where would he then be?
16797Shall those holy ashes be left to be trodden in the mire?"

16797_ Yes._--Will you retract them?
16797or was he wrong?
19568Are these not clearly cases of human imagination set at work by a Jewish superstition?
19568But if this life is all, how can we continue to hold our faith in divine justice?
19568But would there be much satisfaction in existence when individuality and personal consciousness had been lost?
19568For these unhappy ones would it be well, as Mr. Chamberlain holds it was for him, that there should be no hereafter?
19568Had the New Testament been divinely inspired, would not its authority have been clearly attested?
19568Has Deity directly revealed itself to man?
19568If there was a miraculous revelation on which salvation depended, why was it not universal?
19568Is belief in a future life generally holding its ground?
19568Is it likely that such confusion would be found in a Divine revelation?
19568Is it possible that they should have had a place in a divine narrative of the life of the Saviour of the world?
19568Is their being brought into existence only to suffer compatible with our faith in supreme benevolence?
19568What did Jesus think of himself and his mission, and of his relation to Deity?
19568What is now the position of the clergy?
19568What is the fact?
19568What would the world be without religion?
19568Why has it all this time been withheld from nations even more in need of it than those to whom it was given?
19568Would even the social fabric remain unshaken?
19568Would not the authorship of its books have been made known?
19568Would not the narratives have been as well arranged and clear as, by the admission of orthodoxy, they are the reverse?
19568Would the names of the authors of the Gospels, their warrants and the sources of their information, have been withheld?
19568Would the slightest error or self- contradiction have been allowed to appear in it?
34706Have you?
34706Are not the common stumbling- blocks in the way of prayer incidental rather than essential?
34706Are we not implicitly charging them with neglect of duty and with irreverence?
34706But is it not a piece of conceit to imagine that we are being observed, widely at any rate, as well as something akin to an insult to those about us?
34706But"things and actions are what they are,"so why should we desire to deceive ourselves?
34706Could anything be more selfish or more anomalous?
34706FOOTNOTES:[ 38]_ See Appendix._[ 39]_ See Prof. William James in, Is Life Worth Living?
34706For what is the import of this invitation but this?
34706His first absolutions were full and generous, but how can these later ones be so?
34706How can the man, in whom the fires of passion are dead, express before God his sorrow for sins against purity in days that are gone?
34706If, they argue, God dwells in the world, why does He not sweep away these heavy shadows, this over- much grief?
34706John i: 38._ THE QUEST_ O Master of my soul, where dwellest Thou?
34706The common objection,"What good can it do?
34706What less or more?
34706What were all Thy boundless store Without Thyself?
34706When this unhappy experience occurs what are we to do to have the breach between ourselves and God filled up and fellowship with Him re- established?
34706Who can bear this witness so well as the layman in the home and in the market?
34706Who can turn a deaf ear to his appeal, excepting those who deny a man''s right to realize himself?
34706Why, then, this fine dressing up of the commonplace?
34706Will not God bless men just as much without our prayers as with them?"
19567Apart from anything more distinctly spiritual, where do we get the faculty of idealization?
19567But apart from the Bible, have we any revelation of the nature, the will, the unity, the existence of deity?
19567But if individual interest or passion can break this law with impunity, as often they can, what is there to withhold them from doing it?
19567But is there not also a conscious effort of self- improvement not dependent on these?
19567But is there not an aspiration to character which points to something more spiritual and higher than conformity to the utilitarian code?
19567But what can have been the aim of creation?
19567Can anything like a clear line be drawn between good and evil?
19567Can they be the offspring of material evolution?
19567Do not men who have totally renounced the dogma still cultivate a character in its gentleness and benevolence essentially Christian?
19567Has any animal given, like man, the slightest sign of self- improvement or conscious tendency to progress?
19567IS THERE TO BE A REVOLUTION IN ETHICS?
19567If for them there is no compensation, can we believe that benevolence and justice rule the world?
19567If the latter, does it not appear that there is something in us not material and pointing to a higher life?
19567If the world is not ruled by benevolence and justice, what is our ground of hope?
19567If there is a God, are not all truths, scientific, historic, or critical, as much as anything written in the Bible, the word of God?
19567In what respect, so far as our conceptions extend, has Christian ethic failed?
19567Is it possible to explain moral repentance or morality at all without assuming the freedom of the will?
19567Is it traceable to physical sense?
19567Is there to be a Revolution in Ethics?
19567Was he wrong in indulging it, so long as he had the power, which he might have had, with common prudence, to the end of his life?

19567What is conscience?
19567What is the value of a clean breast?
19567What is to be said in this connection of man''s aesthetic nature, of his sense of beauty and melody?
19567What is to be said of deaths in infancy, when there has been no time for character to be formed?
19567What was there which without such a process mere fiat, so far as we can see, could not produce?
19567When we repent morally are we looking only to the immediate consequences of the act, or are we also looking to the injury done to our moral nature?
19567Would this involve the dissolution of the Churches?
20160_ Q._ How do you prove that there is but one true God? 20160 All were put into the utmost consternation-- men, women, and children crying,''What shall we do?'' 20160 Almost of course the good people began with the question, What good men shall we keep out? 20160 And who can look at our past history and feel proud of our present status?
20160But when they handed Dr. Dwight a list of subjects for class disputation, to their surprise, he selected this:''Is the Bible the word of God?''
20160Could this be due to the Quaker faith in the sufficiency of"the Light that lighteneth every man that cometh into the world"?
20160Did not these things betoken a superficial piety, springing up like seed in the thin soil of rocky places?
20160How could the two parties walk together when one prayed_ Vater unser_, and the other_ unser Vater_?
20160It is a prevailing trait of this theology, born of the great revival, that it has constantly held before itself not only the question, What is truth?
20160Nay, verily, said Murray( in this following one of his colleagues, James Relly); what saith the Scripture?
20160Shall we be unworthy of the trust?
20160Should this consent be given?
20160The foundations were destroyed, and what should the righteous do?
20160The governor was incompetent and corrupt, and the minister was faithful and plain- spoken; what could result but conflict?
20160This, with Doddridge''s hymn,"My God, and is thy table spread?"
20160Were all the population of Salem to be reckoned as of the church of Salem?
20160What form will the structure take?
20160Would it tend to mitigate the intensity of sectarian competition, or would it tend rather to aggravate it?
20160and if not, who should"discern between the righteous and the wicked"?
20160but also the question, How shall it be preached?
2723:"Why not do evil so that there might be more good?"
272Are they not insane, foolish and ridiculous?
272As this fact is so obvious, that faith alone gives, brings, and takes a hold of this life and righteousness-- why should we not say so?
272But a German would say"Ut quid, etc.."as"Why this waste?"
272But what kind of German is this?
272Dear, what are we to say?
272How?
272If it is not offensive to preach"without works","not by works","no works", why is it offensive to preach"by faith alone"?
272Is that speaking with a German tongue?
272Just tell me, is Christ''s death and resurrection our work, what we do, or not?
272Now if that is good German why do they not come out and make us a fine, new German testament and let Luther''s testament be?
272Should one reject St. Paul''s word because of such''offense''or refrain from speaking freely about faith?
272Since when does a German speak like that-- being"full of grace"?
272So, as the traitor Judas says in Matthew 26:"Ut quid perditio haec?"
272Subsequently, for these literalist asses I would have to translate it:"Why has this loss of salve occurred?"
272The question here is:"What is or is not the Word of God?
272They are dialecticians?
272They are doctors?
272They are lecturers?
272They are philosophers?
272They are scholars?
272They can each do a translation that suits them-- what do I care?
272They write books?
272Well up to this point, this has simply been translated from the simple Latin, but tell me is that good German?
272What German could understand something like that?
272What German says"loss of salve occurred"?
272What better vengeance?!
272What is the work by which we take hold of Christ''s death and resurrection?
272What is this"abundance of the heart?"
272Why should I talk about translating so much?
272Yet why should I be concerned about their ranting and raving?
272and in Mark 14:"Ut quid perditio iste unguenti facta est?"
272or"Why this extravagance?"
7436( b) What was the proper mode of ecclesiastical redress if these rights were ignored?
7436( c) What were those baptismal rights and privileges which the Cambridge Platform had not definitely settled?
7436And who may be freemen?
7436Are we sharers in redemption, and do we grudge to support religion?
7436Can you any better submit to hire a minister to preach up a doctrine which you in your heart believe contrary to the institution of Christ?
7436Did the inheritance of faith, of which baptism was the sign and seal, stop with the children, or with the grandchildren, or where?
7436He concluded his arraignment with:-- But would a man be tried, judged and excommunicated by such a standard as this?
7436He further stated that when such a situation was in some measure relieved he would be only too glad to make the question"Is he capable?
7436How firm a grip upon her had that incubus of her own raising, the pernicious union of Church and State?
7436How had not Connecticut fallen?
7436How passed her ancient glory, how ignored her charter''s rights?
7436Is he faithful to the Constitution?"
7436Is he honest?
7436Is it not shame?
7436Is this a Constitution?
7436Is this an instrument of government for freemen?
7436Must they, in order to send their sons to college, deprive them for four years of a"Gospel ministry"and lay them open to consequent grave perils?
7436What right, the Federals asked, had they to attack a constitution they had sworn to uphold?
7436[ b]"Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by law?"
7436_ i.e._, in plain terms, how does it tend to lying hypocrisy and lying?
16479Hast thou gone to the gentle youth on the north side of the lawn?
16479Were it not better rather to contract with the King of Heaven and earth?
16479What then shall we do in the time of that crime?
16479What wouldest thou, or wherefore comest thou?
16479( O Son of Mary, a dignity without blemish, O my Lord as far as Heaven, O King of the white angels, wilt Thou stay for me till I am old?)

16479Then the brethren said unto him,"What then shall we do in the time of those evils?
16479To him one day Saint Kiaranus said,"What seekest thou, father, in these coasts?"
16479To them he said,"Whence have ye now come?"

37032{ 8} CHAPTER I CAN WE STILL BELIEVE?
9944Do not two sparrows sell for a half- penny?
9944That''s pretty near free- thinking, is n''t it?
9944What''s it going to be now?
9944And can we expect the Father of us all to act in other than common- sense ways?
9944And what is money after all?
9944And why be anxious about clothing?
9944Are they doing it independently of God?
9944Are they working in a medium into which God can not enter?
9944But are not my present cravings those which count for me?
9944But what can they do?
9944Dare I say it?
9944Do not even begin to be anxious, therefore, saying,''What shall we eat?''
9944Do you happen to know it?"
9944How can I help seeing so much beauty and sweetness as the manifestation of God?
9944How can I talk of not seeing God when I see_ this_?
9944How could He show Himself to me more smilingly?
9944How could anyone delight in the Caucasian God, as the majority of Caucasians conceive of Him?
9944How do you picture Him?
9944I have forgotten how we chanced on the subject, but I remember that she asked me these questions:"When you think of God_ how_ do you think of Him?
9944If, therefore, we mentally poison the well of Universal Good- intent at its very source what have we to depend on?
9944Is it any wonder that nothing ever comes of these efforts?
9944Is it argued for a single minute that"goods"are not God''s good things, and that money is not their token?
9944Is not the life more precious than its food, and the body than its clothing?
9944Is not this common sense?
9944It is not in heaven that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven and bring it down unto us that we may hear it and do it?
9944Neither is it beyond the sea that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us and bring it unto us that we may hear it and do it?
9944Oseraije le dire?
9944What does He seem like?"
9944What is there then that we can trust to?
9944Which of you by being over- anxious can add a single foot to his height?
9944Who am I that I should be overlooked by it, or miss being made the expression of its infinite energies?"
9944Why is it, we ask, that He snatches away those who are needed, leaving those who might be spared?
9944Would you mind telling me how it helped you?"
9944XII What place is there then for intersectarian or ecclesiastical arrogance?
9944and do they not make up precisely that character which renders me unique?
9944or''What shall we drink?''
9944or''What shall we wear?''
27707A bishop perhaps?
27707And these?
27707Are you a Christian?
27707Did any of you know Arsenius?
27707Did you pour the water as you said the words?
27707Do you not know that I have power to drive you into exile, even to take your life?
27707Do you think it is a small thing to be of our communion?
27707Have you seen Athanasius? 27707 How could I, a poor man and a Bishop, do such a thing?"
27707Is it true that you believe what the Church teaches?
27707Were these apostates,cried Meletius, Bishop of Lykopolis,"to be made equal to those who had borne the burden and the heat of the day?"
27707What did you do?
27707What do you wish?
27707What is a Christian?
27707What is your name?
27707What were you doing down there on the shore?
27707What words?
27707What would you like to be?
27707What would you say if I told you that you had really baptized them?
27707Where is Athanasius?
27707Who are these good men?
27707Who are you, and what do you want?
27707Who has deceived you, O senseless,he asks,"to call the Creator a creature?"
27707Who is more worthy of such a ministry,he cried,"than the man who stands before us?"
27707Why will you not accept the Emperor''s religion?
27707Would you not like to have the Emperor in your congregation?
27707As for the sufferings of the Church, was it not so from the beginning, and will it not be so until the end?
27707Did not the Master Himself say,''They have persecuted Me, they will persecute you also''?
27707Did not the''perils from false brethren''begin even in the lifetime of those who had been the companions of Christ?
27707I cried,''and rent Thy garments?''
27707In the meantime, where was Athanasius?
27707Is he far off?"
27707It was six years since they had seen him, and what had they not suffered during his absence?
27707Since Christ was the creation of God the Father, how could He Himself be God?"
27707Was it possible, he asked, that so many and such various charges could be brought up against a man if he were innocent?
27707Were they to return to their sees and confess themselves beaten?
27707What was delaying his guests?
27707Which is the greater, the place or the Faith?
27707asked Alexander with a smile;"you think it is an easy and a glorious life?"
1911And then what is that Church but a multitude without Christ?
1911And, in taking to Himself the body of His wife, how can He but take to Himself all that is hers?
1911Are we then to take our ease and do no works, content with faith?"
1911But you will ask, What is this word, and by what means is it to be used, since there are so many words of God?
1911For what did he bring about by his flattery, except evils which no king could have brought about?
1911For, in giving her His own body and Himself, how can He but give her all that is His?
1911Here you will ask,"If all who are in the Church are priests, by what character are those whom we now call priests to be distinguished from the laity?"
1911If you wish to use your liberty, do it secretly, as Paul says,"Hast thou faith?
1911In doing this, is not a man denying God and setting himself up as an idol in his own heart?
1911Is it not true that there is nothing under the vast heavens more corrupt, more pestilential, more hateful, than the Court of Rome?
1911Is not such a soul, in this its faith, most obedient to God in all things?
1911It learns, too, with the Apostle, to scoff at death and sin, and to say,"O death, where is thy sting?
1911Now if a pontiff rules while Christ is absent and does not dwell in his heart, what else is he but a vicar of Christ?
1911O grave, where is thy victory?
1911On the other hand, what greater rebellion, impiety, or insult to God can there be, than not to believe His promises?
1911Solomon says,"Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?"
1911What are these among so many?
1911What can be more bitter than the words of the prophets?
1911What commandment does there remain which has not been amply fulfilled by such an obedience?
1911What else is this, than either to make God a liar, or to doubt His truth-- that is, to attribute truth to ourselves, but to God falsehood and levity?
1911What fulfilment can be more full than universal obedience?
1911What higher credit can we attribute to any one than truth and righteousness, and absolute goodness?
1911What indeed is such a vicar but antichrist and an idol?
1911What more was it my duty to do?
1911What opposition can you alone make to these monstrous evils?
1911What then can works, done in such a state of impiety, profit us, were they even angelic or apostolic works?
1911What would be the use of salt if it were not pungent, or of the edge of the sword if it did not slay?
1911Who can comprehend the riches of the glory of this grace?
1911Who can injure such a heart, or make it afraid?
1911Who then can comprehend the riches and glory of the Christian life?
1911Who then can value highly enough these royal nuptials?
1911Whose heart would not rejoice in its inmost core at hearing these things?
15262An non poteritis vos infernalia claustra adire, nisi nos comites habeatis? 15262 How is it, then,"asked the judge,"that he remains a good Moslem, while you have apostatized?"
15262If,he says,"Christ is an adopted Son of God, and Christ is also God, then is God the adopted Son of God?
15262What are thirty barbarians perched upon a rock? 15262 Whither,"they triumphantly asked,[2]"has that bravery of your martyrs vanished?
15262Why,said they,"if your God is the true God, does He not strike terror into the executioners of his saints by some great prodigy?
15262156- 163), refers with disapproval to those(?
1526219,"Why callest thou Me good?
152626--"Is not this the fast that I have chosen?
15262:--"And when God shall say unto Jesus at the last day: O Jesus, son of Mary, hast thou said unto men, Take me and my mother for two Gods, beside God?
15262But when the monk asks leave to depart Abdurrahman says:--"After waiting so long to see one another, shall we part so soon?"
15262For connection of Adoptionism with this, see letter of Adrian to bishops of Spain( 785?).
15262Is it not clear that it was not the Arabs who began persecuting, but we who began preaching?
15262Numquid sine nobis aeterna vos cruciamina non adurent?"
15262Quis Evangelico, quis Prophetico, quis Apostolico ustus tenetur amore?
15262This is apparent from Tarik''s address to his soldiers in the heat of battle:"Moslems, conquerors of Africa, whither would you fly?
15262To loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free?"
15262What has become of the rash frenzy with which they courted death?"
15262When the latter was urged to give the word, and have the knot of Christians put to the sword, he said:"Is it not written?
15262Will you let yourselves be trampled on by the Arabs, who look upon you as their slaves?
15262[ 10]?
15262[ 12]?
15262[ 1] However, his ecclesiastical superior[2](?
15262[ 3] Miss Yonge, p. 87, says the Arabs called him Sham Yakub, but what authority has this statement?
15262[ 4][ 1] Sayones(?)
15262[ 5] Meanwhile what was the condition of those Christians who preferred to live in their own homes, but under the Moslem yoke?
15262and why do not the martyrs themselves flash forth into miracles while the crowd is round them?
15262if, on the other hand, they did perform these miracles, why not adduce them in evidence against the detractors?
42865How,say they,"could you become a prætor or consul?
42865And will she have much to do in order to still remain acceptable to those who love her,--this old mother, who will not die so soon?
42865And, after all, Commodus was only seventeen years old: who could be sure that he would not reform?
42865Are there, then, two Christs?"
42865But I ask, What satisfaction could the institutions which Rome dared to believe eternal present to the religious wants which were arising?
42865But did he not come there after Paul?
42865But is it our fault that the wants of humanity are diverse, its aspirations manifold, its aims contradictory?
42865But wilt thou say,''I have not played the five acts; I have played but three?''
42865Did Peter also come to Rome?
42865Did the trophies which the Christians venerated about the year 200 designate the spots upon which these apostles suffered?
42865Does there anywhere exist, in a world of honest people in small villages, an ideal of family life more charming than that which Plutarch has left us?
42865For, in short, why has his credulity been thus abused?
42865How could gods without compassion, and born of joy and the primitive imagination, be expected to console for such evils?
42865How could he be so moral without the beliefs that are now regarded as the foundations of morality?
42865How could that reasoning be more strongly refuted than by maintaining that Peter never placed his foot in Rome?
42865Is all this a pure loss?
42865Is it inspiration?"
42865Is it the clergy?
42865Is it the people?
42865Is it, then, he who is not deceived who is the wise man?
42865Is this unceasing effort to attain the unattainable as vain as the course of the child who pursues the ever flying object of his desire?
42865Let us suppose, in short, a direct, positive proof, evident to all, of future sufferings and rewards: where will be the merit of doing good?
42865Now, was a people ever more wanting in all this than the first Christians?
42865Now, what can be said of a church founded by both Peter and Paul?
42865This involves the great problem,"Who exists in the church?
42865To what end, since it is permitted to thee to retire within thy soul each hour?
42865Was there ever, I ask you, a religion less capable of becoming the religion of the human race than that?
42865What could be more simple?
42865What did these conservatives, these Sadducees, really desire?
42865What does this miracle accomplish other than to strike at the pretended derogations to the laws of physical nature?
42865What interest, think you an African, a Gaul, a Syrian, took in a worship which concerned only a small number of high and often tyrannical families?
42865What more is necessary?
42865What need have we of these brutal proofs which trammel our liberty?
42865What sweet and pure sentiment, what feeling of melancholy tenderness, has not found expression by the pen of Virgil or of Tibullus?
42865Wherefore is this premium given to the frivolous or wicked man?
42865Who does not see, that, in such a system, there is neither morality nor religion?
42865Why should he have been endowed with deceitful instincts, of which he has been the honest dupe?
42865how so profoundly religious, without having professed one of the dogmas of what is called natural religion?
42865is it too much resignation, ladies and gentlemen?
42865thou hast been a citizen in the great city: what matters it to thee to have remained three or five years?
45701Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? 45701 Who of you, if he wishes to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the costs to see whether he has money to complete it?
45701And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why then did ye not believe him?
45701Are not ye of much more value than they?"
45701Are the proposals of Secretary Hughes in this spirit?
45701Can the New Testament help on these?
45701Christ spoke no more incisive word than this:"Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?"
45701Did he have a social plan, and was it adapted to the needs of the twentieth as well as to those of the first Christian century?
45701How can there be any joy in the heart when there is this suspicion of one''s fellow?
45701Is it any wonder that church life is stagnant?
45701Is it any wonder that they brooded over it until even the translations themselves seemed to be the very breath of the Almighty?
45701Is it not possible that his idea of the fraternal community is the only satisfactory solution of our international problems?
45701Is not this true?
45701Is the situation really"well"?
45701Is, then, the seat of authority for religion in the claims of Holy Scripture?
45701No doubt the human heart is swayed by sympathy and benevolence; but are these the qualities of the natural man?
45701OUR GOVERNMENT IN THE CONFERENCE What is the position that our government should take in the conference?
45701Or should he realize his plan by compromise?
45701Shall we say that these words were spoken in ignorance or jest or mockery?
45701That is a pretty faith; but is it true?
45701The baptism of John, whence was it?
45701Then again:"What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?"
45701What Cause was it which made of these plain disciples literary and religious figures of incomparable power and dignity?
45701What equal counterpoise will you set against that instinct of_ pleonexia_ which reaches out for ever more and more?
45701What limitations did Jesus place upon the principle?
45701What shall be said of these contrasted views?
45701Who of mortals can have taught the writer of the Fourth Gospel the interpretation that he has to hand on to us?
45701Why should it be otherwise if such conceptions virtually rule?
45701Will you, Capernaum, be exalted to the sky?
45701from heaven or from men?
39734Ah, what are you doing?
39734But what,said she,"am I to believe amidst so many different opinions of the present day?"
39734And concluded thus:"Why do we not perceive that all they are attempting is mere deception and fraud?
39734Being restored by rubbing, he said,"Ah, what are you doing?"
39734But how can we hope to convert them to the truth?"
39734But what happened?
39734But what is to be done if they remain obstinate?
39734But when his son apologized, he said, in a milder tone,"To whom shall I lecture, if there is no one present?"
39734But wherefore also the mass?
39734Ca n''t you go home?"
39734Do you pray for me, that this my involuntary concealment may redound to the greater glory of God?"
39734Dr. Luther inquired who these mighty heroes were?
39734He asked him whether he heard him?
39734He had again thought of the word of Paul,"If God be for us, who can be against us?"
39734He says in it:"And what are you doing, my Philip?
39734He then remarked:"What is the use of our being here?"
39734Hence arose the question: If we are only acceptable by Grace, wherefore is the new life required?
39734If God be for us, who can be against us?
39734In his sleep his spirit was impressed with the words of the Apostle Paul,"If God be for us, who can be against us?"
39734Is it so small a matter to serve the Lord Jesus faithfully, and to have proved yourselves faithful members of Christ?
39734Maior asked him:"Venerable Father, what is the meaning of these words?"
39734On a certain occasion the teacher had proposed a very difficult question, and asked,"Where will I find a Grecian?"
39734So Calvin regarded the matter; but what did Melanchthon say to all this?
39734Then, what an ornament is destroyed in the dispersion of our school?
39734What good thing could be expected of these men?
39734What greater honor do you desire?
39734What induced you to attack an old friend, who loved you sincerely, with such weapons?
39734What more can the devil do than to kill us?"
39734What more shall I say?
39734What other answer can I give?"
39734When he was taken down, he said:"This is called a travelling- bed; suppose I should be obliged to travel in it?"
39734Whether rulers are to defend themselves?
39734Whither did he wish to go?
39734Who knows what it may please God to do, whose thoughts are at all times higher and better than our own?
39734Why did you not publish yourself, for which I so often entreated, prayed, and commanded you?
39734Why do they wish to desolate the Churches on account of the needless and false masses for souls, invocations of the saints,& c.?"
39734Why do you thus unceasingly trouble yourself?
39734Why was he so enraged against us?
39734he said,"why do you disturb my sweet repose?
39734viii.,"If God be for us, who can be against us?"
20206A reed( from the wilderness) shaken with the wind?
20206And what means the so- much abused word Catholic if not inclusiveness?
20206Another problem was: what were more salvatory, faith or works?
20206But what led to the Churches''surrender?
20206But which of the Churches ought to give this example for the salvation of Europe and of the world?
20206But who am I to teach you?
20206CHAPTER IV THE VICTORY OF THE CHURCH WHAT IS THE CHURCH?
20206Christ, God''s Holy Wisdom, includes all of us, why should we exclude each other?
20206Did she agree with them?
20206Did you ever think that St Paul is the greatest prophet of a new and desirable statesmanship?
20206Do you think that the Arabs, who gave Europe knowledge, are expecting from Europe knowledge?
20206ECCLESIA TRIUMPHANS How can the church get her past strength again and triumph over the evil inside and outside her walls?
20206Have we still this exclusive spirit which moved the world effecting the greatest revolution in History?
20206He would ask: What happened with the spirit he preached?
20206How can a wounded man be healed unless his wounds are unveiled?
20206How could an unholy Europe preach the Holy One?
20206How to connect them?
20206How to reach it?
20206Or another: in our moral perfection how much is God''s grace operating and how much our human collaboration?
20206Or another: what part worship plays in our salvation( the problem known in theology as opus operatum)?
20206Or did she oppose and protest as she did against Rome and the Crescent?
20206Or do you think that Chino- Japanese civilisation has anything worth mentioning to borrow from Europe but Christian ideals?
20206The Struggle for a True Doctrine.--The central problem for the living Church has always been: Who was Jesus?
20206To start what?
20206Well, was not His life- drama typical and prophetic for His Church?
20206Well, what would a Buddhistic painter put as a simile of consolation for the man in agony?
20206Were not His last words to the disciples: go to all nations?
20206What did He ever exclude-- save unclean spirits?
20206What does that mean, but that I can not be saved without God and my neighbours?
20206What else if not a Buddha''s sentence or word?
20206What happened with this spirit which excommunicated de facto the Jewish narrow Patriotism and the Roman Imperialism?
20206What is the Church viewed from the point of view of the world war?
20206What is the Church, historically viewed?
20206What is the Church, psychologically viewed?
20206What is the Church, sociologically viewed?
20206What is the consequence if a Christian Church adopts the standpoint of a worldly Government as the true one?
20206What is this great thing?
20206What was the Church''s attitude towards the European imperialistic formulae?
20206Where has fled Europe''s soul?
20206Who of us and of you asks about the integrity of the Christian spirit?
20206Why has the Church stopped being a drama?
20206Why is she hesitating and fearing?
20206Why not just your Anglican Church?
20206You are a Christian?
20206and how to worship Him?
7970''But,''asked Luther,''how many are there who can read those words on the Emperor''s banner, or who seriously believe in them?''
7970''But,''said Vergerius,''would you have him come with arms or without?''
7970''Have we no Archbishops and Bishops in Germany, that we must kiss the feet of this one?
7970''What have we to do with Rome and its Bishop?''
7970''What wonder were it, should princes, nobles, and laymen beat them on the head, and hunt them out of the country?''
7970''Where then do you mean to take refuge?''
7970''Who can comprehend the honour and dignity of a Christian?
7970''Who knows,''he said,''what God may wish to do?''
7970''Would you come to Bologna?''
7970And did not the very futility of his own endeavours hitherto prove that it was the former fate that hung over him?
7970But we call to mind the words he had spoken in 1532,''Who knows what God will do before ten years are over?''
7970But what fruit, indeed, could be looked for from his words, uttered evidently with violent inward emotion, when popular passion was so excited?
7970Does He say that to the wind, or does He throw his words before animals?...
7970Flight to France was continually talked of; had he not followed in his appeal a precedent set by the university of Paris?
7970For instance, they might take a grudge against the clergy and cry out, if admonished by them, what can a mere clerk know about it?
7970For their benefit he wished to describe compendiously the''sum of a Christian life''; to deal thoroughly with the question,''What was a Christian?
7970He then asked,''Where is my darling little Hans?''
7970His father replied in the presence of all the company,''Learned brothers, have you not read in Holy Writ, that a man must honour father and mother?''
7970How could the Pope possibly tolerate a free Christian Council when he must be quite aware how disadvantageous such a Council would be to himself?
7970How could these words be reconciled with the fact that the secular arm resisted wrong with force, and raised the sword against the evil- doer?
7970How dare a man make a vow to God, which God must first endue him with the power to keep?
7970How far obedience is due to it?
7970How was that consistent with the acts of ecclesiastical penance, such as absolution in particular, which must be obtained from the priest?
7970If I have stood up against the Pope, why should I yield to his creature?''
7970Is it just and right that Thou shouldst reject the wise, and receive the foolish?
7970May he not also come into this garden, and eat these nice pears and apples, and ride a little horse and play with these children?"
7970May the Lord increase faith in you and all of us; if we have that, what in all the world shall the devil do with us?''
7970Meanwhile Butzer and Philip had to rest content with this; and was it not an important step forwards?
7970Must not the letter of the Old Testament be the law for other things as well as images?
7970My sins, death, Satan with all his angels-- all rage unceasingly; and what could comfort me if Christ were to forsake me, for Whose sake they hate me?
7970Once, as they were singing before the door of a solitary farmhouse, the farmer came out and called to them roughly,''Where are you, young rascals?''
7970Shall we tell them that the Pope must be obeyed so that peace and unity may be preserved?''
7970Was it not better to be slain at home, in obedience to God, than to be taken prisoners and dragged away like cattle to be sold?
7970Was it then really God''s own will, he asked himself, that he should become actually purged from sin and thereby be saved?
7970What more can the devil do than strangle us?
7970What, then, is really essential for the continuance of the Church, and how far does it extend?
7970Who ever made a stronger stand against the peasants, with writing and preaching, than myself?''
7970Who knows what God will do after the Diet of Augsburg, even before ten years have gone by?''
7970Would they not willingly sacrifice a little gift in order to obtain everlasting life?
7970and should you not then speak and teach the doctrine or the little Word?
16424_ Ought_ not the Christ to have suffered these things?
16424And may they not be correct?
16424Are our lives merely fertilizer for generations yet unborn?
16424Are we all self- deceived?
16424But can we be content with no personal share in it?
16424But in such a sentence what possible meaning can be put into the expression"His beloved"?
16424But is this emparadised life to be some day thrown aside?
16424Can a mere imagination compass such results?
16424Can life''s highest values be so dealt with?
16424Do we know God in the Son?
16424Do we know God in the Spirit?
16424Do we know Him as our Father?
16424Have we entered into the fulness of their fellowship with God?
16424His keenness of conscience and His acute sympathy brought to His lips the final cry,"My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?"
16424How could He, if He be the living God?
16424How far may we trust our experience as validating the inferences we draw from it?
16424How shall we account for His singular personality?
16424How shall we conceive the union in Him of the Divine and the human, which we have discovered?
16424How shall we test the validity of the inference we draw from our experience?
16424If a man loves God with his all, how can there be any remainder of love to devote to someone else?
16424If they are simply ours, who knows what will come of them?
16424In all our advances in religious knowledge are we not liable to undergo Fallings from us, vanishings, Blank misgivings of the creature?
16424Is it likely that, were God a mere fancy, a fancy which we should promptly discard if we knew it as such, our experience could be what it is?
16424Is not every new unveiling of God accompanied by unsettlements and seeming darkenings of the soul, temporary obscurations of the Divine Face?
16424Is there not something analogous to this in the sphere of the spirit?
16424It must never ask itself,"Will the community support me?"
16424Look at the generations of old, and see: Who did ever put his trust in the Lord, and was ashamed?
16424May not our experiences be accounted for in some other way?
16424May we not be in a subjective prison from whose walls words and prayers rebound without outer effect?
16424More than this who cares to know?
16424More than this, for what can Christians wish?
16424Of a book?
16424Or who did abide in His fear, and was forsaken?
16424Or who did call upon Him, and He despised him?
16424Shall we question the correctness of Jesus''personal experience, and call Him mistaken?
16424The second question was asked even during Jesus''lifetime--"Whence hath this Man these things?"
16424The third question, How are we to conceive of the union of Deity and humanity in Him?
16424Three chief questions suggest themselves to us: How shall we picture Jesus''present life?
16424To every thoughtful person the question is forced home,"If a man die, shall he live again?"
16424Was the faith which produced them, the faith which inspired Him, an hallucination?
16424What did Jesus Christ contribute towards answering our question?
16424What should be read?
16424What takes Jesus Christ to that tragic death?
16424Who decides me there?
16424Why did He give up the opportunities of a life that was so incalculably serviceable, and apparently court death?
16424Why, they ask, should we care what took place in Palestine centuries ago?
16424all power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth, go ye therefore and make disciples of all nations"?
16424but"Can I inspire the community?"
30194Furthermore, is the archipelago a fair analogy? 30194 How,"said one of the bystanders,"can you smile when you are dying in agony?"
30194Why is the Son of God, the Christian archangel, called Michael? 30194 [ 6] What is this likely to have meant to those who read it in Greek without any knowledge of a"Pre- existent"Christology?
30194And that the faces of them which have used abstinence shall shine above the stars, whereas our faces shall be blacker than darkness?
30194And that the glory of the Most High is kept to defend them which have led a wary life, whereas we have walked in the most wicked ways of all?
30194And that there are laid up for us dwellings of health and safety, whereas we have lived wickedly?
30194And that there is promised us an everlasting hope, whereas ourselves being most wicked are made vain?
30194And that there should be shewed a paradise whose fruit endureth for ever, wherein is security and medicine, since we shall not enter into it?
30194Are we justified in concluding that the interpretation in ancient Egypt was the same as in imperial Rome?
30194But did he use these words?
30194But did such Platonists actually exist before Plotinus, or possibly Ammonius Saccus?
30194But did they have this characteristic in their original homes, where they were national religions?
30194But how would a Greek have understood this verse?
30194But is it quite so certain that it is a quotation from anything?
30194But need this mean that this eternal life is personal?
30194But was it successful?
30194But what exactly was meant by salvation?
30194But what would have been the implication to Greek{ 82} ears of this usage?
30194But, it may be said, did not Jesus identify himself{ 27} with the Davidic Messiah?
30194Did he mean that the Logos was the_ anima mundi_?
30194Finally, did Hermas think that Christians became angels at their death?
30194For do you really think that we all assemble in the same place?
30194For what profit is it for men now in this present time to live in heaviness, and after death to look for punishment?
30194For what profit is it unto us, if there be promised us an immortal time, whereas we have done the works that bring death?
30194If so, which synagogue in Jerusalem did he frequent?
30194If there was really only one meeting, was there not really only one journey, which the editor of Acts, or his sources, converted into two?
30194If those islands could have thought and spoken what would they have said?
30194Is it also gain?
30194Not, that is to say, what is its evidence as to the thought of Paul, but how are certain phrases in it likely to have been interpreted?
30194O thou Adam, what hast thou done?
30194That of the Cilicians as a native of Tarsus?
30194The baptized Christian started with a clean slate, but what would happen to him if he lapsed again into sin?
30194Was this so in Mithraism or in the cult of Isis?
30194What did he think was the meaning of"To- day have I begotten thee"?
30194What does this mean for those who profess and call themselves Christians?
30194What is the bearing of Romans on the Christology of the Church at Rome?
30194What is the relation to each other of{ 125} these two ways of regarding salvation?
30194What part can either Adoptionism or the Logos Christology play in any modern form of thought?
30194What was his attitude towards the Hellenising Christians?
30194What was the course of events immediately after the death of Jesus?
30194What were the main characteristics of the preaching to the Gentiles which thus found a centre in Antioch?
30194What would this phrase mean in Jewish ears?
30194What, then, are the points of difference between Christianity and the other cults which explain the triumph of the Church?
30194Why should we suppose either that the voice from heaven was restricted to quoting scripture, or that it did so with quite remarkable inaccuracy?
30194Would the heathen, who knew not God, be converted or be exterminated?
30194[ 11] On what book did Hermas base his interpretation of Jesus?
30194[ 14] What was the use of a system which offered men immortality, but only on conditions which no one could fulfil?
30194[ 19] This is seen from the following extract from his examination by Rusticus the Prefect:"Rusticus the prefect said,''Where do you assemble?''
30194[ 1] What ought to be our verdict on this claim of the first Christians?

32578Who can say positively,writes Sir Leslie Stephen,"that it would not be better for the world at large if his neck were wrung five minutes hence?
32578And what of that radiant optimism that broke out by the shores of the Galilean Lake?
32578And yet, is it not something like this that many of us have had in mind of late when we have been talking of"A world fit for heroes to live in"?
32578Are there not some among us who think that the way to establish their own creed is to destroy the creeds of their neighbours?
32578Are you loyal to the leader in front?
32578As a free soul he prefers not to be_ compelled_ to believe in anything-- for how then could he be free?
32578But can we go further and name it Christianity?
32578But if we know not why we are here how can we hope to answer these other questions?
32578But is that so?
32578But of what nature is the experiment in question?
32578Do you say it is_ hard_?
32578Does it guarantee him a pension for any heroism he displays?
32578Does it meet us on that high level with the companionship of a Spirit akin to ours, not only asking for our loyalty, but giving it in return?
32578Does it provide the hero with an assured income and an easy life?
32578Does the flourishing of my form of Christianity depend on the languishing of yours?
32578For what end have I been sent into the world?"
32578Give the hero a world like that and what will he say?
32578Have you a good head?
32578Have you a stout heart?
32578How has it come to pass that respectable Christian apologists have fallen into such flagrant dishonesties?
32578How then, can he be converted at all unless he is converted there?
32578If you and I, and all such, were to be blotted out forthwith and the All Perfect left in sole possession of the universe, where would be the loss?
32578In the presence of One who has all purposes already fulfilled in himself what purpose can be served by our introduction into the scheme of things?
32578Is comfort the keynote of it?
32578Is it not a fact that for a long time past the Churches of Christendom have been engaged in strife as to who shall be greatest?
32578Is it not reasonable to suppose that, if it exists, it will find some means of making me aware of its presence?
32578Is not the man''s reason the very essence of the man?
32578Is the Soul of the World at one with us in these great endeavours?
32578Might not another soul, sent into the universe instead of mine, have played that part infinitely better than I can ever hope to do?
32578That was written seventy- two years ago, and when was it truer than to- day?
32578The"spirit"of it all?
32578This it does by forcing us to raise the question:"Why am I here?
32578What kind of a world is that?
32578What meaning could these terms have for beings who had learnt that their own existence was purposeless?
32578What other conceivable witness could there be?
32578What, indeed, remains?
32578Where are his followers now?
32578Where is the church, where is the sect, where is the creed- bolstered institution, unhampered by the cares of these great fortresses?
32578Why are we here at all?
32578Why should God need to be glorified, or enjoyed, by you, by me, by anyone?
32578Why should he need anything?
32578Why these rather than those?
32578Why, then, among the host of possibilities, did the lot fall upon_ me_?
32578Why_ me_?
32578Why_ me_?
32578Why_ you_?
32578Why_ you_?
32578Would not the offence of the Cross, submitted at the time to a sanhedrim of"logical"experts, have been condemned as unadulterated folly?

60705How undertake the responsibility? 60705 And how did she do so? 60705 Are these the symptoms of decline? 60705 Between religious creeds and philosophy? 60705 Between the Church and the new- modelled State? 60705 But is it nothing that this liberty is now more firmly established than man has ever known it? 60705 Do I mean then to put on a level and confound all who disallow supernatural order, whether unbelievers or sceptics, atheists or rationalists? 60705 Do we not ascend more than we have been forced to descend? 60705 Do we not rather recognise one of those formidable but beneficial crises brought on by providence when desirous to renew the world? 60705 Does religion fall? 60705 God and duty being abandoned, what remains of great and good if it be not man? 60705 How can this be accomplished? 60705 How did she lose a portion of her empire? 60705 How is it to be escaped? 60705 How should it be so? 60705 Is God''s power over and in us needed? 60705 Is it true then, as is said, that we are in a state of moral decay? 60705 Is our age destined to continue the evil of its precursor, and while losing its virtues add to it its own evils? 60705 Is our own liberty sufficient? 60705 Is the general progress of justice and happiness in the world nothing? 60705 Is the law a real living being, a being with a soul which approaches to or recedes from God, which may be lost or saved? 60705 Is there not therein a fitting reward for the toils and sufferings of our age? 60705 Is there not, after so many mistakes, enough to satisfy the most exacting, to refresh the most exhausted? 60705 Of what do you complain? 60705 Shall we again see the old wars which our fathers have seen? 60705 Shall we see a revival of every fanaticism, lay and clerical, philosophic and religious? 60705 War between Catholicism and Protestantism? 60705 Was it then to arrive at this state of things, that for ages human genius displayed itself so gloriously in our country? 60705 What are the means of action, what the pledges to be given alike to authority and religion? 60705 What are the relations here below and hereafter between God and our souls? 60705 What but the neighbourhood of opposing and half free sects, who have always kept her in play, and forced her to overcome her langour? 60705 What father, if he thought his child were reserved for such a lot, but would feel overwhelmed by compassion and grief? 60705 What has been for Catholicism in France one of the most glorious and pious periods? 60705 What has prevented the Anglican church from falling into that apathy which has appeared more than once ready to overcome her? 60705 What hereafter will be that measure? 60705 What is Christianity? 60705 What is Protestantism? 60705 What is it, nevertheless, that has saved Catholicism from shipwreck? 60705 What is the prevailing ill of our temporal society? 60705 What lot awaits us beyond this life, and how far do our resolutions and actions influence it? 60705 What said they who thought the most thereon? 60705 What share of influence will man, each individual man, exercise on his own and the public destiny? 60705 What then has happened? 60705 What then is the obstacle? 60705 What will happen if they do not live in peace, sincere peace? 60705 When the coarser passions are powerless, why should not the more mild and equitable feelings develope themselves? 60705 Whence does evil spring in the world and in ourselves? 60705 Who can struggle against ill if the good are themselves infected with it? 60705 amongst others to separate from her? 60705 how avoid a feeling of pride? 60705 { 13} What is the measure of authority necessary for Government, what the extent of liberty possible in human society? 60705 { 39} What has this experience, at the same time so much vaunted and so mournful, taught you? 60705 { 40} Do we not regain more than we lose? 60705 { 44} Who will refuse to these the name of morality? 60705 { 47}How can I do it?"
60705{ 96} Do we forget, besides, the first and most powerful cause of spiritual independence?
13539And how many did you kill?
13539Friends, is not my case amazing? 13539 How many of these,"he then inquired,"are daughters?"
13539Why should you teach the heathen?
13539''Well,''I rejoined,''if it be so, what creates this agony of mind?''
13539Addressing the first, I said to her,''Friend, how many children have you destroyed?''
13539Again she exclaimed,"Can I not live two weeks?"
13539And are none of you willing to follow their example?
13539And are you Christ''s, or are you yet gay and thoughtless-- as gay and as thoughtless as this young lady was, until laid upon her dying bed?
13539And are you, my dear children, yet out of Christ?
13539And for what purpose?
13539And have you nothing to do in this great work, my dear children?
13539And is it possible that such persons can go to heaven?
13539And now, my dear children, why do I tell you about these gods?
13539And was this heathen so struck with the beauty of the precepts of the Bible-- so struck, that he had no peace until he gave himself to his Saviour?
13539And what are these idols?
13539And what did these chickens do?
13539And what do you think that father did?
13539And what have Christians ever done to honor their Saviour, which will bear a comparison with what the heathen do for their idols?
13539And what have you ever done to prevent it?
13539And where shall I then see you?
13539And why should not you also come here, or go to other heathen lands?
13539Are none of you willing to say, Here am I, Lord, send me?
13539Are they the world and its vanities?
13539Are you ready to exclaim, Is it possible that a people can be guilty of such utter folly?
13539But can not you earn some?
13539But where are these processions going?
13539By this expression, she meant to say,"What kind of a god are you, not to look upon me, and help me in my distress?"
13539Can little girls and boys do without sugar- candy?
13539Can you think of any thing, my dear children more dishonoring to a holy God, than such worship?
13539Did they not come around you and eat it?
13539Did you ever give any money to send it to them?
13539Did you ever take any corn or Indian meal and throw it to the chickens?
13539Did you ever think whether it may not be your duty, by and by, to come to them, to tell them of this Gospel?
13539Do you say that you have no money to give?
13539Do you think that he took her up in his arms, and kissed her?
13539Have you ever learned it, my dear children?
13539Have you ever spoken bad words?
13539Have you this Pearl of great price, my dear children?
13539Have you, every morning and evening, prayed that the Gospel might be sent to this people?
13539Have you, my dear children, attended to these requirements?
13539He met a woman soon after this dreadful crime had been abolished to whom he said,"How many children have you?"
13539How could such ever relish its pure joys?
13539If you can be excused from coming or going, why may not all who are now little boys also be excused?
13539If you have not, what have you?
13539Looking up at me, on one occasion, she exclaimed,"Doctor, can not you save me?"
13539My dear children, have you done this?
13539My dear young friends, are there any of you who have never given your hearts to Christ?
13539Now, my dear children, do you not think that you ought to pray for the poor heathen-- to pray that God will send the Gospel to them?
13539O, what will such say, when they must meet the heathen at the bar of God?
13539O, why is it that Christians have not long since sent this Bible to them?
13539Of how much more value then, is it, in reference to the removal of their spiritual miseries?
13539Shall I see any of you on the left hand of Christ, and hear him say,"Depart, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels?"
13539She then exclaimed,"Doctor, can I not live a month?"
13539Tell me, have you this Pearl of great price?
13539The salutation begins by the question,"Has the milk boiled?"
13539They supposed that they heard a voice in answer pronouncing_ Enna?_ that is,_ What_?
13539They supposed that they heard a voice in answer pronouncing_ Enna?_ that is,_ What_?
13539Was not that a noble little girl?
13539What is that?
13539What would they do, could they be admitted there?
13539What, my dear children, will you do for this purpose?
13539When you grow up, can not you go and tell them of the Saviour?
13539Who can dwell for ever with devouring flames?
13539Who of you expect, by and by, to become missionaries to this land, to tell this people of the Pearl of great price?
13539Who, O who can lie down in everlasting burnings?
13539Why is it that they do not send it to them_ now_?
13539Will you ever direct your little feet to the ballroom, or other places of sinful amusement?
13539Will you ever take another sip from the cup of unhallowed pleasure?
13539Will you hereafter prefer your worldly joys to Christ?
13539Will you not resolve now, that you will, so long as God prospers you in worldly goods, give_ at least_ one- tenth of all you earn to the Lord?
13539Will you think of it?
13539Will you, then, be so mad as to turn a deaf ear to this call?
21024Do you hear him?
21024Hast thou an arm like God? 21024 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained; what is man, that thou art mindful of him?
21024Why should ye be stricken any more? 21024 --what have you done to obtain it, or to deserve it? 21024 A horseman is quickly despatched with the question, Is it peace? 21024 Again, what good will in his father''s heart to Esau? 21024 And glad is the Church, as, weary of strife and sin and sorrow, she looks up into the darksome sky, and cries, Watchman, what of the night? 21024 And how of the priests? 21024 And why? 21024 Are they not said in Scripture to beministering spirits sent forth to minister to them who are heirs of salvation?"
21024Are you not of more value than many sparrows?
21024At the throne of divine grace, none had ever to shed Esau''s tears, or cry with him, Hast thou but one blessing, O my father?
21024But shall our world be the limits of the wondrous tale?
21024But what need to ransack old history for examples?
21024Canst thou thunder with a voice like him?"
21024Cursed be the day wherein I was born?"
21024Did Jonathan love David as his own soul?
21024He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct?
21024He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
21024He that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?"
21024How gladly should we accept them?
21024How many pages of history are written with the point of the sword-- not with ink, but tears and blood?
21024How may His people catch up and continue the strain which falls from angels''lips?
21024If men reject peace, what chance for them in war?
21024If that be not God''s greatest, and therefore most glorifying work, where are we to seek it?
21024In dying chambers how are we made painfully, bitterly to feel that man''s power is not commensurate with his will?
21024Not that we would not have still to ask,"Who can by searching find out God?
21024Not without reason does He ask,"If I be a father, where is mine honour?
21024Our glebes have been fattened with the bodies of the slain?
21024This is sound reasoning-- for, as David says,"He that planted the ear, shall he not hear?
21024Was not our Lord himself poor?
21024What age has not been the era, what country the scene of bloody strifes?
21024What availed his father''s good will to him, his favourite son?
21024What else was the belief of our pagan fathers, that within a dark cave in the bowels of the earth there sat a great scaly dragon, brooding on gold?
21024What else was the fabled garden of the Hesperides, where the trees, guarded by a fierce and formidable serpent, bore apples of gold?
21024What peace, is the other''s answer, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother and her witchcrafts are so many?
21024What said our Lord?
21024What soil does not hold the dust of thousands that have fallen by brothers''hands?
21024What though they can not see it?
21024Who art thou?
21024Why should a man blush for his humble origin?
21024Why should any be ashamed of honest poverty?
21024Why should we spare them, and lose our souls?
21024_ PART III._ Some years ago the question which agitated the heart of Europe was, Peace or War?

477473)?
477476_s._= WAS ISRAEL EVER IN EGYPT?
47747Are we willing to take up the cross of sacrifice and suffer gladly with and in the passion of Incarnate Love?
47747But is this really the case?
47747But, it will be asked, how does this view of life eliminate suffering as an evil from the world?
47747Can endorsement of this supposition be drawn from the realm of Natural Science?
47747Can it truly be the Will of God that the innocent shall suffer for the guilty, the pure for the impure, the just for the unjust?
47747Did not Christ thus challenge the criticism of the future?
47747Do not the joys of love in its human relations between friends, husband and wife, parents and children, rest on a mutual surrender of self- interest?
47747How can we expect to train our children in the ways of Truth if we give them no consistent standard for estimating what is true?
47747How has His appeal to posterity been answered?
47747How has His recommendation to test His words by the Spirit of Truth been obeyed?
47747How then, can the destiny of man be said to be superior to that of the beasts?
47747If so, for what end are these things ordained?
47747If the light of God be in men, shall they not by that light perceive His glory?
47747In short, is a belief in the immortal soul of man compatible with the evolutionary theory of his physical descent?
47747Is not his body an artistic expression of the divine Spirit of Life, in whose likeness he is made?
47747Is not man a dual creature?
47747Is not the one an expression of the other, as Nature-- the vesture of God-- is the expression of the Spirit of Life?
47747Is the authority claimed and exercised by the Church over the souls and minds of men to be unquestioned?
47747Is the training of spiritual consciousness less important than the education and nourishment of the body?
47747Is there not in reality fundamental unity between the secular and sacred aspects of all natural phenomena?
47747Is there really such a thing as the soul?
47747Meanwhile, can we not watch one hour?
47747Or shall we resent the sacrifice of ourselves in the forwarding of His Will?
47747Shall we give ourselves to God in willing co- operation with the divine regenerating purpose of life?
47747Was not the Feast of the Passover, which He was then keeping with His apostles, a sacrifice of blood?
47747What are its distinctive qualities, and how is its presence in personality to be recognised?
47747What is?
47747What kingdom divided against itself can stand?
47747What more fitting material for His purpose than the common daily food and drink of people of all classes?
47747What reasonable evidence is forthcoming in support of the conjecture?
47747Whither are we tending?
47747Without the hunger of mind and body, how could the nourishment necessary for the continuity of mental and physical life be obtained?
418Again: if no other work were commanded, would not prayer alone suffice to exercise the whole life of man in faith?
418And for what other purpose have tongue, voice, language and mouth been created?
418And how could those in power serve God better and thereby also improve their own land?
418And who could tell the extent of this vice in Christendom?
418But how is this done?
418But if you say:"What if I can not believe that my prayer is heard and accepted?"
418But if you should say:"Why does not God do it alone and Himself, since He can and knows how to help each one?"
418But what are the things which we must bring before Almighty God in prayer and lamentation, to exercise faith thereby?
418But what else are God''s blessings and adversities than a constant urging and stirring up to praise, honor, and bless God, and to call upon His Name?
418But who can hear it if no one preaches it?
418Does not this First Commandment give us more work to do than any man can do?
418For if the heart looks for divine favor and relies upon it, how is it possible that a man should be greedy and worry?
418For what else are here the hungry, thirsty, naked, imprisoned, sick, strangers, than the souls of your own children?
418For what manner of good deed is that, if we are liberal only to our friends?
418For who can praise Him perfectly for the gift of natural life, not to mention all other temporal and eternal blessings?
418For who lives an hour without trials?
418For, tell me, what moment can pass in which we do not without ceasing receive God''s blessings, or, on the other hand, suffer adversity?
418Here some men say:"How then could I bring my children into society, and marry them honorably?
418How can we be so foolish?
418How else could we know whether their lies and sins were to be avoided?
418If it was possible among the Jews, why should it not also be possible among Christians?
418Nay, if it is possible in villages, towns and some cities, as we all see, why should it not be possible everywhere?
418Nay, is it not rather He alone Who will keep faith?
418Now see, if a man wish not only to do good works, but even miracles, which God may praise and be pleased with, what need has he to look elsewhere?
418Of what help is it, that they kill themselves with fasting, praying, making pilgrimages, and do all manner of good works?
418Or what father is there of you, who, if his son shall ask bread, will he give him a stone?
418Psalm,"How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked?
418Tell me, are not these the words of a heart which despairs of God, and trusts more on its own providing than on God''s care?
418What can I say of this work?
418What does this mean?
418What greater work could be done on earth, whereby so many pious souls would be preserved, so many sinners converted?
418What more terrible thing could happen to all the evil spirits?
418What remains then for the outward act, striking, wounding, killing, injuring, etc., if the thoughts and words of anger are so severely condemned?
418What then could many men do, if they united in calling upon God earnestly and with sincere confidence?
418What work is there in heaven except that of this Second Commandment?
418When the Jews asked Him:"What shall we do that we may work the works of God?"
418When will there be an end of wrath, O heavenly Father?
418Where are such parents?
418Where are they that ask after good works?
418Where are they who run to Rome, to St. James, hither and thither?
418Where now are they who ask, what works are good; what they shall do; how they shall be religious?
418Where now are they who desire to know and to do good works?
418Who is he?
418Why do they do this?
418Why does he add,"call upon Him in truth"?
418Why shall they lament, except because all their condemnation comes from their own children?
418Why?
418Yes, and where are they who say that when we preach of faith, we shall neither teach nor do works?
418joyfully and gladly?
418or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
418or if he ask an egg, will he give him a scorpion?
418what man is there on earth, who would not all his life long have enough to do with this work?
418where are the idle ones, who do not know how to do good works?
32756Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
32756Have we not all one Father, hath not God created us?
32756Lord, who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle, who shall dwell in thy holy hill? 32756 What doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with thy God?"
32756What kind of life am I living now? 32756 Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?"
327562.--What has given these Scriptures such authority?
327563.--Again, I repeat the question, what gave them that authority?
32756And how do we grow to know our friends?
32756And is it not the same with the affections?
32756And last of all, in answer to our question, How should we pray?
32756And what is prayer?
32756And why not forthwith?
32756Are not such songs in such an age one of the miracles of history?
32756Are the movements in nature the product of law,--and how did the laws begin to operate and when?
32756But what is the knowledge of God that has been revealed?
32756Can death touch that life?
32756Could God build the human soul with all its capacities for the few years of this fleeting life on earth?
32756Did you ever hear a man tell of the peace and hope and power to conquer evil which he had won by an earnest study of the Latin classics?
32756Do you not feel that you must have done the same if you had been there?
32756Does Science throw any light on our problem?
32756Does nature reveal an intelligence behind the universe and working in it?
32756Does this internal condition correspond to reality?
32756Every man should therefore put the question to himself:"If_ I_ die, shall I live again?"
32756HOW HAS HE DONE THIS?
32756Has there not been a tendency to suppress the emotions because there are emotional religious cults almost divorced from morality and the intellect?
32756He alone could fearlessly ask the question:--"Which of you convicteth me of sin"?
32756How could men help loving and reverencing and preserving such songs?
32756How could the people doubt it?
32756How could they help feeling that a divine Spirit was behind them?
32756How could they help it?
32756How did men come to believe and obey as Divinely inspired the words of Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Hosea, and the rest?
32756How will it be recognized or known?
32756IF A MAN DIE SHALL HE LIVE AGAIN?
32756In trying to answer the question,"What is prayer?"
32756Is it a friendship with God which death can never extinguish?"
32756Is it life eternal, or life merely temporal?
32756Is it not also true of man?
32756Is it nothing more than a"looking upward"by one in need to one able to supply the need?
32756Is matter the real thing and the true explanation of it all?
32756Is this difficult?
32756It comes to us full of answers to our question, Why should we pray?
32756Man''s conscience whispers that the Judge of all the earth will do right; but how can He do right with all His creatures, unless He has more time?
32756Need we be disquieted about a Book that comes to us thus accredited in so many powerful ways?
32756No one who can think or feel is able to look unmoved on the face of death: he must ask"Shall he live again?"
32756Now it would seem as if the morning, first thing in the morning, is the time especially to do this?
32756Perhaps, too, it has something to do with temperament?
32756This sometimes seems a very mystical, far away subject, does it not?
32756WHAT DO WE KNOW OF GOD?
32756WHAT IS FAITH?
32756WHERE CAN WE LEARN OF GOD?
32756Was ever national history so extraordinarily written?
32756Well, but why was it accepted before their day without any such formal sanction?
32756Well, how has his prophecy been fulfilled?
32756What candles, then, does Science light up for us?
32756What is one to do with it in an essay limited to twenty pages?
32756What is prayer?
32756What is the inference?
32756What is this thing which is so great, and yet so close to hand, which is so worth while doing, and which we can all do, and do at once?
32756What is worship?
32756What then is this faith which Jesus Christ asks of people?
32756What truths does it contain?
32756Who can know what love is except by loving?
32756Whoever met the lover who became so through his intellect?
32756Why have not men reached a decisive answer?
32756Why not?
32756Why then were their utterances accepted?
32756Yes, but when?
32756Yes, but when?
32756[ 3] HOW SHOULD WE PRAY?

54793''[ 86] Did Jeremiah say that?
54793Am I seeking to make the course of my life and yours other than a service and an obedience?''
54793And how does Christ enable us to do this?
54793And how was this come to mankind?
54793And what is all this but the very feeding and stimulating of our ordinary self, instead of the annulling of it?
54793And what is being saved from our sins?
54793And what is the answer of the bishops?
54793And why?
54793Are we to take for such all who shall confidently affirm themselves to be such?
54793Are you wiser than the hundreds of learned people who for generation after generation have been occupying themselves with St. Paul and little else?
54793Because we are no longer under the law, are we to sin?
54793But how can growth possibly find place in this doctrine, while it is held in such a fashion?
54793But righteousness is religion; and the Nonconformists say:''Who have done so much for righteousness as we?''
54793But why?
54793Does any one imagine that all the Church shared Augustine''s speculative opinions about grace and predestination?
54793Does any one imagine that all who stood with the Church and did not join themselves to the Arians, were speculatively Athanasians?
54793Has it been left for you to bring in a new religion and found a new church?''
54793Is any one the author of it except Paul?
54793Is there not, then, any separation which is right and reasonable?
54793Need it be said that he never forgot them, and that in all his pages they have left their trace?
54793The sixth chapter comes to the all- important question:''What_ is_ that faith in Christ which I, Paul, mean?''
54793This openness of mind the Puritans have not shared with the Church, and how_ should_ they have shared it?
54793To whom is this change owing?
54793True; but could it establish itself there?
54793Was there ever such a confession made?
54793Well, but why, says the Dissenting minister, is the clergyman to impress St. Paul''s words upon me rather than I upon the clergyman?
54793Well, then, how did Paul''s faith, working through love, help him here?
54793What can that matter, unless he compels you, too, to profess the same opinions, or refuses you admission if you do not?
54793What can we so fitly name the somewhat degenerated and inadequate form of Hellenism as_ Millism_?
54793What indeed, as we have seen, is for Paul life, and what is death?
54793What is it which sets Paul in motion?
54793What is to add to the Law of God if this be not?"
54793What then was, in brief, the Christian gospel, or''good news''?
54793What will that new reason be?
54793What, then, was the essence?
54793Where there is jealousy and strife among you, asks St. Paul,_ are ye not carnal_?
54793Why are we to be more blamed than the Church for the strife arising out of our rival existences?
54793Why does not the Church?
54793Why should I trouble myself about the name his office bears?
54793Why, it may be asked, does Paul, instead of employing a special term to denote his special meaning, still thus employ the general term faith?
54793[ 106] And what is the kingdom of God or kingdom of heaven?
54793[ 2] But from which of the younger members of the Evangelical clergy do such strokes now come?

40798[ 352] What use might she not make of these fascinations of hers on the vain, turbulent nobles of Scotland? 40798 [ 729] This is perhaps true; but what would all these things have come to apart from the activity of the Company of Jesus?

40798But how was this to be enforced?
40798Did Calvin also disdain to use the New Learning merely to display scholarship, did he mean to put it to modern uses?
40798Did he imitate him in more?
40798Did the Council wish to give their decision a semblance of ecclesiastical authority?]
40798Have I not so read in the Bible?"
40798He asked whether there were any married clergymen, or clergymen who had not separated themselves from their wives or concubines?
40798He ended his sermon( Dec. 2nd) with the words:"Where are those fine preachers of the fireside, who say the opposite?
40798How could a gourd have preached, done miracles, hung on the Cross?
40798How do you know that it is the Lord''s?
40798How were the preachers persuaded to forego their opposition?
40798If I have your word for it, who will guarantee that the King will not deny it, and be absolved for his breach of faith by the Pope?"
40798Is that so certain?
40798Might they not all wait for the decision of a General Council?
40798Or what ar ye within this Commounwealth?''
40798Quid si ad apertam præsentiæ confessionem veniretur?
40798So one heard a confused noise,''My son so and so, my husband, my brother, are you there?''
40798The question occurs, When did his conversion take place?
40798The question was: Would the new nation accept the Reformed religion, or would the reaction triumph?
40798These clergymen of the diocese of Gloucester were asked nine questions-- three under three separate heads:( 1) How many commandments are there?
40798Was Catherine meaning to treat them as Alva had treated Egmont and Horn?

40798Where is it to be found?
40798Where was he to begin?
40798Whether any of the clergy had been irregularly or schismatically ordained?
40798Whether any of the clergy maintained doctrines contrary to the Catholic faith?
40798Whether any of the clergy went about in other than full clerical dress?
40798Whether any of them had said Mass or administered the sacraments in the English language after the Queen''s proclamation?
40798Whether any persons in the parish spoke in favour of clerical marriage?
40798Whether auricular confession be necessary by the law of God or not?
40798Whether it be necessary by the Word of God that the sacrament of the altar should be administered under both kinds or not?
40798Whether priests may marry by the law of God or not?
40798Whether private Masses may stand with the Word of God or not?
40798Whether the vow of chastity of men and women bindeth by the law of God or not?
40798Whether they kept all the holy days and fasting days prescribed by the Church?
40798Who can say?
40798Who was he and what had been his past life that he should presumptuously think that God would ever accept him and number him among His saints?
40798Why do you let them remain here?"

130Who ever found an ant- hill decorated with the statues of celebrated ants?
130Who has seen a bee- hive carved with the images of gorgeous queens of old?
130Why should a man surrender his dignity to the solar system any more than to a whale?
130Why should not good logic be as misleading as bad logic?
130Why, then, should one worry particularly to call it large?
130and"What, then, is the meaning of the Fall of Man?"
130her godmother might answer,"How is it that you are going there till twelve?"
15780''The vital question,''he says,''is this, how are we to keep the Church of England from being liberalised?''
15780ARNOLD What shall we say of Matthew Arnold himself?
15780And what is that but a judgment of the practical reason, the response of the heart in man to the spiritual universe?
15780Are the practices of worship which they imply consonant with the supposition that the law was in force?
15780Are we to regard these as all equally inspired?
15780Bousset''s little book,_ Was Wissen wir von Jesus?_ 1904, convinces a quiet mind that we know a good deal.
15780But we are then left with the query: What created the Church?
15780But what was the gospel of Jesus?
15780By what possible means can we ever know how he reacted, worked, willed, suffered?
15780Can we know the inner life of Christ well enough to use it thus as test in every, or even in any case?
15780Do not all parts of it assume a settled state of society and an agricultural life?
15780Does not the use of such a test, or of any test in this external way, take us out of the realm of the religion of the spirit?
15780Else how can the Church of England be now a Catholic Church?
15780FICHTE Fichte asked, Why?
15780Fichte said:''Why do we put it all in so perverse a way?
15780For that matter, what prevents a Buddhist from declaring his thoughts and feelings to be Christianity?
15780Had not Newman, however, made passionate warfare on the liberalism of the modern world?
15780How can the language of Scripture be explained, and yet the reality of the revelation not be explained away?
15780How can these two modes of thought stand related the one to the other?
15780How can this be?
15780How can we know that to be a command of God, which does not commend itself in our own heart and conscience?
15780How could truth be infallibly conveyed in defective and fallible expressions?
15780How did even Christ''s great soul react, experience, work, will, and suffer?
15780How did they choose the writings which were to belong to this new collection?
15780How did this great transformation take place?
15780How do souls react in face of the eternal?
15780How have we to think of this co- operation?
15780If it be asked,"Do we live in a free- thinking age?"
15780If so much is reduced to idea, why not all?
15780In the first place, how do we know what Francis was like?
15780In what way did the very earliest Christians apprehend that gospel?
15780Indeed, Ritschl asks, why is not Buddhism as good as such Christianity?
15780Is there any escape from this situation, short of the return to the authority of Church or Scripture in the ancient sense?
15780Kings know anything about the law?
15780Men ask, could the law, or even any greater part of it, have been given to nomads in the wilderness?
15780One is fain to ask: What right has any man to publish a scrap- book of his musings?
15780Or was it that in Jesus Messiah has come?
15780Or was it the faith of the Messiah, the reverence for the Messiah, directed to the person of Jesus?
15780The question is, upon what does the tortoise stand?
15780The work taken as a whole is so bewildering that one finds himself asking,''What is Ritschl''s method?''
15780They can not be uncatholic in spirit, else how should they be identical in meaning with the great Catholic creeds?
15780Transl.,_ What is Christianity?_ T.B.
15780Was Gladstone''s attitude intelligible?
15780Was it an isolated achievement, or was it part of a general movement?
15780Was it not merely a question of degrees?
15780Was it that the Kingdom of God was near, that the Son of Man would come?
15780Was it the longing for the coming of the Kingdom of God, the striving after the righteousness of the Sermon on the Mount?
15780Was it, Repent, or was it, Believe on the Lord Jesus, or was it both, and which had the greater emphasis?
15780Was the name of Jesus used in the formulas of worship before the time of Paul?
15780What are some facts of this inner life?
15780What are the facts of the religious experience?
15780What becomes of Confucianists and Shintoists, who have never heard of the historic Christ?
15780What can possibly be the worth of a whole of which the parts have no worth?
15780What is Christianity?
15780What is the relation of language to thought and of thought to fact?
15780What was the central principle in the shaping of the earliest stages of the new community, both as to its thought and life?
15780What was the demand upon the hearer?
15780What word dominated the preaching?
15780Why did they reject books which we know were read for edification in the early churches?
15780Why is not that also the result of the activity of the ego?
15780Why is not the ego, the thinking subject, all that is, the creator of the world, according to the laws of thought?
15780Why must there be a_ Ding- an- sich_?
15780Why not, if we can only in spirit come near to Christ and God?
15780Why reduce the world of matter to just a point?
15780Yet sooner or later we come to the child''s question: Who made God?
15780Yet, as Ritschl describes this guidance, in the exigency of his contention against mysticism, have we anything different?
15780_ Wie wurden die Bücher des neuen Testaments heilige Schrift?_ Tübingen, 1907.
13677Good Master, what must I do to inherit Eternal Life?
13677And what does the Life- science teach?
13677And yet what would Science demand of a perfect correspondence that is not met by this, THE KNOWING OF GOD?
13677As yet?
13677Breathing now an atmosphere of ineffable Purity, shall he miss becoming pure?
13677But if it know not God?
13677But what are the possibilities of this spiritual organism?
13677But who is to define the limits of the spiritual?
13677But who will not rather approve the arrangement by which man in his creatural life may have unbroken access to an Infinite Power?
13677Can the embryo FASHION ITSELF?
13677Can the protoplasm CONFORM ITSELF to its type?
13677Can we shut our eyes to the fact that the religious opinions of mankind are in a state of flux?
13677Character is to wear forever; who will wonder or grudge that it can not be developed in a day?
13677Christ held up this method almost to ridicule when He said:"Which of you by taking thought can add a cubit to his stature?"
13677Communion with God-- can it be demonstrated in terms of Science that this is a correspondence which will never break?
13677Dante should not also instruct, inspire, and mould the characters of men?
13677Has love no future?
13677Has right no triumph?
13677Have you ever noticed how much of Christ''s life was spent in doing kind things?
13677How can modern men today make Christ, the absent Christ, their most constant companion still?
13677How can the New Life deliver itself from the still- persistent past?
13677How could it be reflected from there if it were not there?
13677How long will it take Science to believe its own creed, that the material universe we see around us is only a fragment of the universe we do not see?
13677In vital contact with Holiness, shall he not become holy?
13677Is Conformity to Type produced by the matter OR BY THE LIFE, by the protoplasm or by the Type?
13677Is Evolution to stop with the organic?
13677Is it not a clear case of exchange-- an exchange, however, where the advantage is entirely on our side?
13677Is life not full of opportunities for learning love?
13677Is man in correspondence with the whole environment or is he not?
13677Is organization the cause of life or the effect of it?
13677Is the change from the earthly to the heavenly more mysterious than the change from the aquatic to the terrestrial mode of life?
13677Is the infinite task begun?
13677Is the unfinished self to remain unfinished?
13677October 10th What is the essential difference between the Christian and the not- a- Christian, between the spiritual beauty and the moral beauty?
13677On what does the Christian argument for Immortality really rest?
13677Or is there a deeper distinction between the Christian and the not- a- Christian as fundamental as that between the organic and the inorganic?
13677Reaching out his eager and quickened faculties to the spiritual world around him, shall he not become spiritual?
13677Shall death, or life, or angels, or principalities, or powers, arrest or tamper with his eternal correspondences?
13677Shall these"changes in the physical state of the environment"which threaten death to the natural man, destroy the spiritual?
13677Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?"
13677Suppose we deliberately made up our minds as to what things we were henceforth to allow to become our life?
13677Surely there is nothing more touching in Nature than this?
13677Then the Christian experiences are our own making?
13677There is nothing that requires so much to be kept in its place as religion, and its place is what?
13677Walking with God from day to day, shall he fail to be taught of God?
13677What a very strange thing, is it not, for man to pray?
13677What is Revelation but what the Spiritual World has said to Spiritual men?
13677What is Science but what the Natural World has said to natural men?
13677What is Truth?
13677What is the Spiritual Environment?
13677What is the creed of the Agnostic, but the confession of the spiritual numbness of humanity?
13677What is yet to emerge from this chrysalis- case?
13677What makes a man a good artist, a good sculptor, a good musician?
13677What makes a man a good man?
13677What soul will seek to remain self- luminous when it knows that"The Lord God is a Sun?"
13677What though its correspondences reach to the stars of heaven or grasp the magnitudes of Time and Space?
13677What though we sacrifice a hundred such correspondences?
13677What wonder if development be tardy in the Creature of Eternity?
13677When will it be seen that the characteristic of the Christian Religion is its Life, that a true theology must begin with a Biology?
13677When, how, are we to be different?
13677Where is the capacity for heaven to come from if it be not developed on earth?
13677Where, indeed, is even the smallest appreciation of God and heaven to come from when so little of spirituality has ever been known or manifested here?
13677Where, then, shall it be classed?
13677Who does not miss at every turn of his life an absent God?
13677Who does not miss, at every turn of his life, an absent God?
13677Who does not tremble often under that sicklier symptom of his incompleteness, his want of spiritual energy, his helplessness with sin?
13677Who does not tremble often under that sicklier symptom of his incompleteness, his want of spiritual energy, his helplessness with sin?
13677Who has not come to the conclusion that he is but a part, a fraction of some larger whole?
13677Who has not come to the conclusion that he is but a part, a fraction of some larger whole?
13677Why but that already in each man''s very nature this principle is supreme?
13677Why is it easy?
13677Why should man be an exception to any of the laws of nature?
13677Why this unscientific attempt to sustain life for weeks at a time without an Environment?
13677Why will men treat God as inorganic?
13677Wilt thou ever permit thyself TO BE conformed to the Image of the Son?
13677second?
13677third?
13677where the Reign of Mystery supersedes the Reign of Law?
39966And what is your own opinion?
39966And when do you think, my child, that you will succeed in this great design?
39966Are you dreaming now?
39966How came that goodly plant here, brother?
39966How is it, then, that you see me?
39966So be it,said Sylvester;"and if this comes to life again at the name of Christ, will ye believe?"
39966What are you doing, my pretty child?
39966Where is your body at this moment?
39966Who is there?
39966Would it not be good for my soul?
39966Your eyes, then, are closed and bound in sleep?
39966''And how can I endure patiently,''rejoined the leper,''since my pains are without intermission night and day?
39966''What peace,''exclaimed the leper,''can I have who am utterly diseased?''
39966''Who art thou,''said the lion,''who darest to bite me?''
39966''You may if you like; but what can you do more than the rest?''
3996622, 23, where Jesus said to Peter,"If I will that he[ John] tarry till I come, what is that to thee?
39966And for what worshipful reason would the wretch do such villainy to the cross of Christ?
39966And they asked him again,''How long is it since?''
39966And yet who will credit this?
39966But on another night the same youth came again, and asked,"Do you remember me?"
39966Can he persuade himself to utterly destroy so great and populous a city?''
39966Can not the corpses of the rich decay save in silk?
39966Do you think it troublesome to be asked any more questions?''
39966For when sudden destruction comes upon us, how can we be carried to a stable if it be far off?
39966Gregory said nothing more, but at the end of the meal he called to the thirteenth and unbidden guest,"Who art thou?"
39966Has any one appeased him?
39966Have we not many horses less valuable that would have suited the man just as well?"
39966He at once awoke, and they called out,"Why do you alone lie snoring here, while all your brethren are watching in the church?"
39966His lips seem to be parting with the question,"Whose is this image and superscription?"
39966How, then, can I speak evil of my King, who saved me?"
39966Is he incensed?
39966Is it not better that you should do this honourable action and receive the reward yourself?"
39966Is not this an high reason?
39966Moses has not told us precisely what tree it was: why should we wish to know what the Holy Scriptures have concealed?"
39966Our Saviour taught people only to excel in love and patience: why should priests grasp the sword for the temporal and perishable things of earth?"
39966Ruffinus says that Macarius once went to visit Antony in the mountain, and, knocking at the door, Antony opened to him and asked,"Who art thou?"
39966She burst into tears at this coldness, and at last exclaimed,"And what if I am a sinner?
39966She then retorted,"But what will it signify to you, Emperor, if it is left to some other person to do me justice?
39966Sylvester, with some shrewdness, observed,"As he who whispered the name must be well acquainted with it, why does not he fall dead in like manner?"
39966The King heard of this, and next day at dinner said,"How was it, lord bishop, that you gave away that fine horse to a beggar man?
39966The King hearing of this, asked Aidan why he did such a thing, and the answer was,"Surely a mare is nothing to compare with that son of God?"
39966The astonished apostle said,"Lord, whither goest Thou?"
39966The bishop''s answer was,"Surely, King, the foal of a mare can not be dearer to you than that son of God?"
39966The cardinals ironically whispered to each other,"Only look; can that be the Holy Ghost in the shape of an owl?"
39966The monk said,"But, father, how if I were to die without Sacraments in the wild waste?"
39966The obedient hermit arrived, and was joyfully welcomed; but the Pope, raising him up, said,"What garment is this, Jerome?
39966The widow then exclaimed,"But, sire, if you are killed in battle, who then is to do me justice?"
39966To this Poemen answered,"Do you think God would not receive you, coming from the battle- field?"
39966WAS ST. PAUL EVER IN GREAT BRITAIN?
39966Was it rational, when danger is on every side, to choose to remain where the danger is greatest?"
39966What more shall I say?
39966What sentence has he pronounced?
39966What was to be done with this intolerable nuisance?
39966When challenged for these constantly repeated exercises, he would say,"If I spent twice as much time in dice and hawking, should I be so rebuked?"
39966When his end drew near, he was seen to weep, which made the other monks ask,"Are_ you_ then, father, afraid?"
39966Why do you wrap even your dead in golden vestments?
39966Why does not ambition stop amid grief and tears?
39966Why for my sake omit your duty, your law, or your religion?
39966Why should this queen be so anxious to see a man disfigured by fasting and toil, and as brown as a chameleon?
39966or what their Maker, whose hand created them, or by whose will they are all governed?
21992Comes faint and far Thy voice From vales of Galilee; Thy vision fades in ancient shades; How should we follow Thee?
21992Dim tracts of time divide Those golden days from me; Thy voice comes strange o''er years of change; How can I follow Thee? 21992 A body of students recently requested an address upon the subject:What is the use of religion anyway?"
21992As we imagine ourselves in their places, are we ready with any glibness to talk about progress in character?
21992But character, fidelity, loyalty to conscience and to God-- are we sure of progress there?
21992But in such a statement one towering interrogation has been neglected: what about the interpretation of the very facts which science does present?
21992But who that has walked with discerning eyes through these last few years can any longer be beguiled by that fallacious vision?
21992Caesar and Napoleon-- were they unintelligent?
21992Can it be that God is less good than Jesus said we ought to be?
21992Could not one address himself to the question of those students in some such way as this?
21992D., would that solve the human problem?
21992Did Aladdin once rub a magic lamp and build a palace?
21992Did Jericho''s walls once fall at the united shout of a besieging people?
21992Did Joshua once prolong the day for battle by the staying of the sun?
21992Did an axe- head float once when Elisha threw a stick into the water?
21992Did the Israelites once cross the Red Sea dry- shod?
21992Do not I fill heaven and earth?"
21992Do we mean that because Tennyson came after Shelly he is therefore the greater poet?
21992Do you ask us then under these conditions to keep our hands off?
21992Do you suppose that we ministers do not know how we must appear to you when we try to discuss the details of business?
21992From Sinai to Calvary-- was ever a record of progressive revelation more plain or more convincing?
21992Has the most monumental and destructive selfishness in human history been associated with poor minds?
21992How could one help comparing him with my friend who could not believe?
21992How do we know?
21992How shall she regard this passionate belief in the possibility of social betterment and this enthusiastic determination to achieve it?
21992How, then, when we think of that Power, can we leave spirit out?
21992If ever we are condescended to, does any assertion rise more quickly in our thought than the old cry of our boyhood,"I am as good as you are"?
21992In creation are we dealing with the kind of power which in ordinary life we recognize as physical, or with the kind which we recognize as spiritual?
21992Is human history like that?
21992Is it all going to end as Bertrand Russell says?
21992Is it not because science supplies men with power?
21992Is it not plain why religion has such an unbreakable hold upon the human mind?
21992Is not the body wholly_ ensouled_, and is not the soul wholly_ embodied_?
21992Is progress an illusion?
21992Is that practical?
21992Is that practical?
21992Is that true?
21992Is that true?
21992Is that true?
21992Is that true?
21992Is that true?
21992Is there anybody who can blind his eyes to the facts now?
21992Or may it be there is no haven, only endless sailing on an endless sea by a ship that never will arrive?
21992Progress?
21992Suddenly he turned on me and said,"If the United States should go into a war which you regarded as unjust and wrong, what would you do?"
21992Then why go back to ancient Palestine for the chief exemplar of the spiritual life?
21992This is the meaning of Jephthah''s protest to a hostile chieftain:"Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god giveth thee to possess?"
21992Toward what sort of haven is this good ship earth sailing-- a port fortunate or ill?
21992Was Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon unintelligent?
21992Was there ever a more stirring story of adventure than is given us in the life of David Livingstone?
21992We have had a long time to outgrow the character and fidelity of those first Christians; do we think that we have done so?
21992What are we to say of such men and women?
21992What attitude shall the Christian Church take toward this challenging endeavour to save society?
21992What can we make of it?
21992What do you make of it?
21992What do you make of it?
21992What do you make of this mysterious sense of duty which lays its magisterial hand upon us and will not be denied?
21992What has chronology to do with spiritual quality and creativeness, which always must rise from within, out of the abysmal depths of personality?
21992What is the essential difference between professions and business?
21992What kind of education is meant?
21992Where is there a mind on earth today like Plato''s?
21992Where is there a spirit today like Paul''s?
21992Who follows in his train?"
21992Who would accept a snapshot taken at any point on the road of Christian development as the final and perfect form of Christianity?
21992Why is it that if we let a field run wild it goes to weeds, while if we wish wheat we must fight for every grain of it?
21992Why is it that if we let human nature run loose it goes to evil, while he who would be virtuous must struggle to achieve character?
21992Why war?
21992Will they allow a whole continent to live like beasts in such hovels, millions of negroes cribbed, cabined, and confined in dens of disease?
21992With such power to bestow, is she not our rightful mistress?
21992Would we ever think of saying that we do not know, ourselves, but that we rely on the authorities?
21992[ 1] James H. Snowden: Is the World Growing Better?
30160The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
30160Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
30160Why callest thou me good? 30160 A God who gives you an intellect which grasps after eternity, and is always saying on the summit of any endeavor achieved,What next?"
30160ARE they?"
30160After these words had been read to the princes of Israel, they asked Baruch, saying,"Tell us now, how didst thou write all these words at his mouth?"
30160Always, and involuntarily, we ask,"Why do we die?"
30160Am I turning in upon myself and playing the mere harlequin in the arena of mental gymnastics?
30160And what does all this mean?
30160And who is he who can do this but the living God alone?
30160And why not?
30160Are you willing to face him in eternity with that inexorable alternative:"IF NOT GOD-- NOT GOOD?"
30160At the close of this fearful confession he asks,''Can your God save such an one as I am?''"
30160Can you climb through nature up to nature''s God and say,"I have found him, I know him?"
30160Can you hear, understand and love a God like that?
30160Christianity WHAT IS CHRISTIANITY?
30160Do you care to kneel and worship there?
30160Do you wonder that this Christianity of the primitive centuries triumphed so phenomenally?
30160Do you wonder the world stopped, listened, and that multitudes turned and followed after?
30160He said:"Which of you convinceth me of sin?"
30160He turns upon them quickly and says,"Have you anything to eat?"
30160How did Isaiah know all this?
30160How did Isaiah know that the world is round?
30160How did Job know all this in that far day when he sat at his tent door in the beauty of the cloudless sky and without a telescope?
30160How did he know of that imponderable ether in which the stellar universe is said to float?
30160How did he know what only the modern telescope reveals, that the North is stretched out over the empty place?
30160How did he learn to speak of"the circle of the earth,"at the time when the scientific men of his day said that it was four square and flat?
30160How is it that he made use of the most scientific term when he speaks of the heavens as"thinness"?
30160How may we know it is all it claims to be?
30160In the hush of a world that can not even murmur, he steps forward and once more rings down his challenge:"Which of you convinceth me of sin?"
30160In the light of facts already cited, what other conclusion can be drawn than that Christ and the Bible were intended for each other?
30160Into this emphasis of brevity and uncertainty, there enters another element which increasingly raises the question--"Is it worth while?"
30160Is death really natural?
30160Is it playing fast and loose with the mind?
30160Is it worth while to carry burdens which force us to look down into the dust of the highway, and not up and out to the wider landscape?
30160Is it worth while to put so much force of soul and spirit, brain and heart into things from which we may be summoned without a moment''s notice?
30160Is that the picture the natural man paints of himself?
30160Is this man''s attitude to, and definition of, forgiveness and peace?
30160It met the needs of men who, standing above their dead, asked again the old and oft- repeated question of Job,"If a man die, shall he live again?"
30160No one ever thinks of asking,"Why do we live?"
30160Shall man be more pure than his Maker?"
30160Shall man be more pure than his Maker?"
30160Shall we say it is a part of nature''s economy-- as legitimate as birth?
30160The Bible teaches that in the awful cry,"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
30160This is his own argument: A young man came to him and said,"Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may inherit eternal life?
30160Those who saw him in former days and see him now might in all reason ask,"Is this he, or some other man?"
30160WHAT is Christianity?
30160What are they?
30160What author on earth would think his book dead and out of date if year after year the publication of it taxed the printing presses of the world?
30160What can you say but that your heart is better than the heart of the God which nature reveals?
30160What is the conclusion concerning this God of nature?
30160What is the conclusion of the matter concerning you?
30160What is the secret of it all?
30160What kind of a God does nature reveal to you?
30160What man is he who can assure himself of ten days?
30160What man is there of you who, if he could, would not make every human being well and happy?
30160What man is there of you, if he had the power, would not banish sickness, sorrow, pain and death?
30160What then shall we say concerning this fact of death?
30160What then?
30160What will you say of this God of nature in such a scheme?
30160When you yearn for love, will his inexorable law supply it?
30160When your heart aches, will such a God care for you?
30160When your soul is dark, will his lightnings illumine it?
30160Whence came the wisdom which kept Moses from hopelessly blundering?
30160Where did Ezekiel get this knowledge?
30160Where will you turn to find God and know him to your comfort?
30160Who is the God who creates one man with all the equipment for life, and another man with all the lack of it?
30160Who taught him to say that God spread out the heavens as"thinness,"when the wise men of that hour were teaching they were a solid vault?
30160Will his thunders console you?
30160Wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?"
30160Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O Lord?
30160You can climb up, but where will you find him?
30160and he said unto him, Why callest thou me good?
30160what immensity of self- conscious power what authority and dignity-- the dignity of infinite integrity:"Shall mortal man be more just than God?
37531Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? 37531 [ 51] Do we not here catch a glimpse of what the depth of that satisfaction with the inner life of God in Christ may be?
37531( 2) What is required for the final positive justification of the social consciousness as ethical?
37531All these motives, now, make us refuse, with Christ, to answer the question,"Are there few that be saved?"
37531And upon whom does it fall?
37531Back of it lies the deeper question, Why just these laws, and modes of procedure?
37531Can we find our way out of this confusion?
37531Can we really think of such a God as simply quiescent, and not as always active?
37531Could there be a more solemn judgment seat?
37531Do we know what a founder of religion does?
37531Do we need, or can we intelligently use, a mystical solidarity?
37531Do we so ground our view the more securely?
37531First, then, how can it be that we do influence one another?
37531For whom is there no growth?
37531From this point of view of the Christian theologian, now, what does the social consciousness mean?
37531HOW CAN IT BE, METAPHYSICALLY, THAT WE DO INFLUENCE ONE ANOTHER?
37531Has the world anywhere a phenomenon comparable to this?
37531How are we to explain that fact?
37531How are we to_ think_ of Christ?
37531How can it be that we do so influence one another?
37531How can it be, Metaphysically, that we do Influence One Another?
37531How does a father distinguish between what he calls an obedient and a disobedient child?
37531How in any fair sense may one be called obedient?
37531How is it that we come to God through him?
37531Is it not a fearful thing to be judged by the law of liberty?
37531Is it possible briefly to indicate both the recognition of emotion and the control of emotion in religion?
37531Is not Herrmann right when he says that all that can be said of the God of this mysticism is"that he is not the world?
37531Is not his activity involved in his complete personality?
37531Is there any way back to the childlike spirit?
37531Is there something holier than the holy ethical will seen realized in Christ''s life and death?
37531Is this not a simply true interpretation of the common consciousness?
37531It means simply: With what changes in theological statements would the social consciousness naturally find itself most sympathetic?
37531Must not every man who wishes to be clear and honest with himself fairly face these questions?
37531Nay, must we not make it necessarily the very center of all our thought here?
37531Now what can cover the sin of the world in God''s eyes?
37531Now, are we to reach a deeper view of redemption, by turning away from the deepest ethical fact to the unethical?
37531Now, when would these conditions become ideal?
37531Or if, without separation, God in any sense, in the most inner way, passes judgment, how does approval fall upon any?
37531The answer to this question involves a preliminary one: What is the point of view of the theologian in any investigation?
37531The question simply is, May this law of mutual influence hold of those bound up with our lives even when they are distant from us or estranged?
37531This question includes two:( 1) How can it be metaphysically that we do influence one another?
37531To make the relative position of Jesus among the founders of religion lower?
37531Upon what does he rely in his hope for matured character in the child?
37531WHAT IS REQUIRED FOR THE FINAL POSITIVE JUSTIFICATION OF THE SOCIAL CONSCIOUSNESS AS ETHICAL?
37531WHAT IS THE FALSELY MYSTICAL?
37531What are these grounds of the supremacy of Christ?
37531What are these prerequisites for a moral world?
37531What evidence have we that Christ ever felt in the slightest degree such penitence?
37531What has a theodicy to say as to these facts?
37531What has been the outcome of that study?
37531What is Required for the Final Positive Justification of the Social Consciousness, as Ethical?
37531What is it that satisfies the father in such a case?
37531What is the Falsely Mystical?
37531What is the final explanation of the constant fact of our reciprocal action?
37531What, now, makes it possible for a man to expect, in any sense, a favorable judgment of God upon his life?
37531Who has not begun at all?
37531Why must the facts, of which the social consciousness is the reflection, be as they are if ideal interests are to be supreme?
37531Why should we wish to make society less significant than it is?
37531Why, that is, from the point of view of the ideal-- of religion and theology-- why are we constituted so alike?
37531Would Christ so think?
37531You have been in the fields in early morning?
37531_ The Consequent Ethical and Spiritual Meaning of Substitution and Propitiation._--Can we go yet a step farther here?
37531and so that we must love them?
37531and, so saying, confirm again the great Christian truths?
37531but the theoretical one, How should the social consciousness naturally affect religion and doctrine?
37531does it necessarily, most naturally, most spontaneously, and most joyfully carry righteousness of life with it?
37531how is our reciprocal action metaphysically possible?
37531so that the innocent suffer with the guilty and the guilty profit with the righteous?
37531so that the results of our actions necessarily go over into the lives of others?
37531so that we must influence one another?
37531so that we must recognize everywhere the claim of others?
37531so that we must respect their personality?
13750But how should a poor soul do, so to run?
13750Know ye not that they which run in a race, run all, but one receiveth the prize?
13750Know you not that they which run in a race, run all, but one receiveth the prize? 13750 What shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"
13750''But surely I may begin this time enough, a year or two hence; may I not?''
13750''Nay,''say they,''why may not we, as well as he?
13750Also, your neighbors are diligent for things that will perish; and will you be slothful for things that will endure for ever?
13750And dost thou not condemn thyself that dost the very same in effect?
13750And how if thou shouldst come but one quarter of an hour too late?
13750And how were they served that are mentioned in the 13th of Luke, for staying till the door was shut?
13750And if the righteous, that is, they that run for it, will find work enough to get to heaven, then where will the ungodly backsliding sinner appear?
13750And if they shall not escape that neglect, then how shall they escape, that reject and turn their back upon so great a salvation?
13750And if thou dost, thou wilt run into the bosom of Christ, and of God; and then what harm will that do thee?
13750And therefore, Secondly, Wilt thou be so sottish and unwise, as to venture thy soul upon a little uncertain time?
13750Are his ministers slothful in tendering this unto you?
13750Are you so hasty?
13750Art thou enquiring the way to heaven?
13750Art thou got into the right way?
13750Art thou in Christ''s righteousness?
13750Art thou resolved to follow me?
13750Art thou resolved to sleep the sleep of death?
13750Art thou resolved to strip?
13750Art thou therefore discharged and unladen of these things?
13750Art thou unladen of the things of this world, as pride, pleasures, profits, lusts, vanities?
13750But is not this a shame for them that are such?
13750Can a man believe in Christ, and not be hated by the devil?
13750Can darkness agree with light?
13750Can he make a profession of this Christ, and that sweetly, and convincingly, and the children of Satan hold their tongue?
13750Can you not do as your neighbors do-- carry the world, sin, lust, pleasure, profit, esteem among men, along with you?''
13750Can you not stay and take these along with you?
13750Could fire and faggot, sword or halter, stinking dungeons, whips, bears, bulls, lions, cruel rackings, stoning, starving, nakedness?
13750Did ever God tell thee thou shalt live half a year, or two months longer?
13750Did you never read that the Dragon persecuted the woman?
13750Do you think those ever come thither?
13750Dost thou count all things but poor, lifeless, empty, vain things, without communion with him?
13750Dost thou count his company more precious than the whole world?
13750Doth his company sweeten all things; and his absence embitter all things?
13750EXPOSTULATION.--Well then, sinner, what sayest thou?
13750First, Hast thou any lease of thy life?
13750Friends, Solomon saith, that"the desire of the slothful killeth him;"and if so, what will slothfulness itself do to those that entertain it?
13750God''s people wish well to the soul of others, and wilt not thou wish well to thy own?
13750How much more will it perplex thee, to think, that thou hadst not a care of thy own?
13750How then will it be with thee?
13750How was Esau served for staying too long before he came for the blessing?
13750How was Lot''s wife served for running lazily, and for giving but one look behind her, after the things she left in Sodom?
13750How wilt thou answer that saying,''You would not enter in yourselves, and them that would, you hindered?''
13750I say, dost thou see thyself in him?
13750I tell you this is no easy matter; if it were, what need of all those prayers, sighs, watchings?
13750If thou now say, Which is the way?
13750Is it not one and the same thing?
13750Is not this enough to make any poor soul begin his race?
13750Is thy mind always musing on him?
13750Much of your lives are past; and will you be slothful?
13750Nay, do you not see with your eyes daily, that perseverance is a very great part of the cross?
13750Nay, do you not see, that some men before they will set about this work, will even venture the loss of their souls, heaven, God, Christ, and all?
13750Or art thou not?
13750Or if they were, would they be afraid that God would not make them welcome?
13750Or the devil endure that Christ Jesus should be honored both by faith and a heavenly conversation, and let that soul alone at quiet?
13750Reader, what sayest thou to this?
13750Shall I speak of the satisfaction and of the duration of all these?
13750THE SECOND USE.--If so, then in the next place, What will become of them that are grown weary before they are got half way thither?
13750The curse of God hangs over your heads; and will you be slothful?
13750The day of death and judgment is at the door; and will ye be slothful?
13750The saints of old, being willing and resolved for heaven, what could stop them?
13750They are all one here, and shall not one and the same hell hold them hereafter?
13750Thirdly, Dost thou know whether the day of grace will last a week longer or no?
13750Thou saidst I was thus, and thus; wherefore then gavest thou not my money to the bank?
13750Time runs; and will ye be slothful?
13750Was Christ slothful in the work of your redemption?
13750What is like it?
13750What mean else all those delays and put- offs, saying,''Stay a little longer; I am loath to leave my sins while I am so young, and in health?''
13750What need we be so backward to it?
13750What shall I say besides, that hath not already been said?
13750What shall I say?
13750Where is thy heart?
13750Why else do men so soon grow weary?
13750Will it not be a dishonor to thee to see the very boys and girls in the country, to have more wit than thyself?
13750Will neither tidings from heaven nor hell awake thee?
13750Will you leave your friends and companions behind you?
13750Wilt thou run?
13750Wilt thou say still, yet a little sleep, a little slumber, and a little folding of the arms to sleep?
13750Wilt thou yet turn thyself in thy sloth, as the door is turned upon the hinges?
13750Would he be afraid of friends, or shrink at the most fearful threatenings that the greatest tyrants could invent to give him?''
13750Would he favor sin?
13750Would he love this world below?
13750Would they be here again for a thousand worlds?
13750Would you be willing to be damned for slothfulness?
13750Wouldst thou be willing to be left behind them?
13750Your souls are worth a thousand worlds; and will ye be slothful?
13750and also to be walking with him?
13750and is he more precious to thee than the whole world?
13750art thou asleep still?
13750do you think that every heavy heeled professor will have heaven?
13750dost thou think to run fast enough, with the world, thy sins, and lusts, in thy heart?
13750every lazy one?
13750how many such runners will there be found in the day of judgment?
13750if he were one quarter of an hour to behold, to see, to feel, to taste, and enjoy but the thousandth part of what we enjoy, what would he do?
13750nay worse; that loiterest in thy race, notwithstanding thy soul, heaven, glory, and all is at stake?
13750to lose all these brave things that my eyes behold, for that which I never saw with my eyes?
13750to lose my pride, my covetousness, my vain company, sports, and pleasures, and the rest?
13750to run back again, back again to sin, to the world, to the devil, back again to the lusts of the flesh?
13750what shall I do now?
13750what would he leave undone?
13750what would he suffer?
13750will you go,''saith the devil,''without your sins, pleasures and profits?
29268Am I in this defending a cause proper to myself? 29268 In Rome are fulfilled the prophet''s words against Niniveh:''Where is the dwelling of the lions, and the feeding- place of the young lions?
29268Lord Pope Silverius,said Antonina,"what have we done to thee and the Romans that thou wouldst deliver us into the hands of the Goths?"
29268What shall I say of that most glorious solemnity of your regeneration? 29268 [ 212] But how were these prelates bound together in a firm alliance?
29268''[ 181] Were not its commanders and its princes lions who overran the whole world, and ravened, and slaughtered the prey?
29268--_Month._ Which is the True Church?
29268Am I an Eutychean, or do I defend Eutycheans, whose madness is the chief support[77] to the Manichean error?
29268Am I resisting my own special injury?
29268Am I to grieve over such things?
29268And you, who accept the Alexandrian Peter, do you strive to tread under foot St. Peter the Apostle in the person of his successor, whoever he may be?
29268And, thirdly, did not St. Leo, who confirmed the Council of Chalcedon, annul in it whatever was done beyond the Nicene canons?
29268Asserters of the Church''s division are pioneers of infidelity, for who can believe in what has fallen?
29268Because you are emperor, do you think there is no judgment of God?
29268But how when it comes to a succession of men?
29268But if that is contained in the letters which both your Father hopes and your piety agrees to, what has he done?
29268But it must be added, if their confession was the truth, why not obey it?
29268But where are those who once rejoiced in its glory?
29268Can I preach to one now complete in faith, that faith which he recognised before his completion?
29268Can any appeal be more touching than that which they made, and made in vain, to the"Christian king and Roman prince"?
29268Can any family show four such?
29268Can anyone calculate the power which maintains such a succession through centuries?
29268Did not the emperor often hold his court at Ravenna, at Milan, at Sirmium, at Treves?
29268Did the bishops of these cities ever claim to themselves a dignity beyond the measure of that which had descended to them from ancient times?
29268Did the loss of its bishop''s prerogatives follow?
29268Did they pass to Byzantium because it was become the imperial city, because the sole emperor dwelt there?
29268Do we, then, not seek the glory of this name, even when offered to us, and does another catch at it for himself, when it is not offered?
29268Does his language in the nineteenth century differ much from his language in the sixth?
29268For where is the senate?
29268How can one who is not allowed to live take pleasure in the mystical sense of Scripture?
29268How can one whose daily chalice is bitterness present sweets for others to drink?
29268How many families can show a continuous succession of three temporal rulers equally great?
29268How, then, is it lawful to incriminate the Principate of the whole Church?
29268If a bishop was the greater for being bishop of the imperial city, should he not be the more courageous in suggesting the right course?
29268If he answer,''What do they contain?''
29268If he say,''In what order is that to take place?''
29268If he say,''What are those forms?''
29268If he say,''What mean you by that?''
29268If the attribution is so proved, what is there in the papal power which is not divinely conferred and guaranteed?
29268If the emperor say,''Should my city remain without a bishop, is it your desire that where I am there should be no bishop?''
29268If the sailors turn against their captain, how will they escape?
29268If there was such distinction of ranks even in the sinless, what man should hesitate to obey a disposition to which angels are subject?
29268If those who subscribed this confession subscribed a falsehood, why pretend any longer to attribute authority to the Church?
29268If we do not return to Christ, how can we call upon His aid in the struggle?"
29268If we treat you ill in persuading you to quit heretics, do you treat us well who would throw us into their communion?
29268Is there a heart of stone which would not be softened on hearing of so great a work into praises of Almighty God and affection for your Excellency?
29268It cries: O Christian prince, why do you allow me to be interrupted in that course of charity which binds together the universal Church?
29268It is a full acknowledgment; for how else was St. Leo entrusted by the Saviour with the guardianship of the Vine?
29268O emperor, what will you do in the divine judgment?
29268Of what metropolitan church was he the prelate?
29268On what, then, did the Pope rely?
29268Or humility to one who has long shown us devotion, which now his profession claims as a debt?
29268Or, because you are emperor, do you struggle against the power of Peter?
29268Shortly after his accession, preaching to his people in St. Peter''s, he said:[180]"Where, I pray you, is any delight to be found in this world?
29268Should I be well elected if I favoured the Eutycheans?
29268Should we sin against Him?
29268Then may we say,''Where is the dwelling of the lions, and the feeding- place of the young lions?''
29268Thus, in his great letter[62] to all the Illyrian bishops, he asks:"Of what see was he bishop?
29268Was it not of a church the suffragan of Heraclea?
29268What did the Pope still possess in these populations?
29268What excuse can we make who press down the people of God, over which we unworthily preside, with the burden of our sins?
29268What is there in him blameworthy?''
29268What matters it whether it be a heathen or a so- called Christian who attempts to infringe the genuine tradition of the apostolic rule?
29268What mortal could venture to decide which of the two great victories allowed by Gibbon to the Church is the greater?
29268What pleasure, then, does life retain, my brethren?
29268What result has all this but that, while we impose on men, we are made known to God?
29268What was the answer which the eastern emperor made to this letter?
29268What, you say, is the conduct of Acacius to me?
29268Where is their pomp and pride, and those ecstasies of frequent transport?
29268Who had made him first a patriarch and then ecumenical?
29268Who is he who, in spite of the commands of the Gospel, in spite of the decrees of councils, presumes to usurp a new title for himself?
29268Who preach with our tongues and kill by our examples?
29268Who was to recover the Goth, the Vandal, the Burgundian, the Sueve, the Aleman, the Ruge, from that fatal error?
29268Who was to restore it to them?
29268Whose works teach iniquity, while their words make a show of justice?
29268Why do not the bishops of the East agree?''
29268Why, in my person, do you break up the consent of the whole world?
29268Will you plead before another judge?
29268Will you stand by him as accuser?
29268With what face will you ask of Him rewards_ there_ whose losses_ here_ you do not prevent?
29268Would such a power not have repudiated his interference, had it not been convinced of an authority beyond its reach to deny?
29268[ 215] What can a Pope claim more than the attribution to himself as Pope of the three great words of Christ spoken to Peter?
29268if I held communion with the party of Acacius?
29268or is the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ a kingdom divided against itself?
29268where any longer a people?
16700Certain philosophers of the Epicureans and of the Stoics encountered him; and some said-- What will this babbler say? 16700 Despise you the wild beasts?"
16700For what else,says the writer,"could cover our sins but His righteousness?
16700King Agrippa,he exclaimed,"believest thou the prophets?
16700Latuit aliquid Petrum aedificandae ecclesiae petram dictum?
16700Need we,says he to the Corinthians,"epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?
16700Petra haec.... Filius Dei est.... Quid est deinde haec turris? 16700 Then,"says the evangelist,"when Festus had conferred with the council, he answered, Hast thou appealed unto Caesar?
16700What other step,says a noble author,"remains to stand between those who held those principles and Rome?
16700While one saith, I am of Paul, and another, I am of Apollos, are ye,says he,"not carnal?
16700Again, in another Montanist tract, he says--"Qualis es, evertens atque commutans manifestam domini intentionem personaliter hoc Petro conferentem?
16700And how worthy is this of a faith which expects to have its converts gathered from all parts to Christ?
16700And what was the virtue of the ordination here described?
16700And yet, how could the crisis be averted?
16700But he withstood them, saying--''Why, what evil am I doing in glorifying Christ?''
16700But what was meanwhile the real condition of the Church?
16700But who, it may be asked, were Zosimus and Rufus here mentioned as fellow- sufferers with Ignatius?
16700Can any man, who adopts the views of Dr Cureton, fairly answer such an inquiry?
16700Could we desire clearer proof that Polycarp must here be speaking of another Ignatius, and another correspondence?
16700Could we desire more convincing proof that he had never heard of the Ignatian correspondence?
16700Did it furnish Paul and Barnabas with a title to the ministry?
16700Did it necessarily add anything to the eloquence, or the prudence, or the knowledge, or the piety, of the missionaries?
16700Did it not proclaim, trumpet- tongued, that He would surely punish their persecutors?
16700Did not the earthquake indicate that He, whom the apostles served, was able to save and to destroy?
16700Does he pretend to assert that the appearance of parents, as sponsors for their children, is an ecclesiastical innovation?
16700Does he venture to say that it is contradicted by any other Scripture testimony?
16700For what necessity is there that the sponsors be brought into danger?
16700For what now could be more evident than that the apostles were the servants of the Most High God?
16700For who is not incited by the contemplation of it to inquire what there is in the core of the matter?
16700Had Pius believed that Justus had a divine right to rule over the presbyters, would he have tendered such an admonition?
16700Having produced authorities from Paul and Peter, he exclaims--"Do the testimonies of such men seem small to you?
16700How are we to account for the extraordinary circumstance that the Church of Rome can produce no copy of it in either Greek or Latin?
16700How could a deputation from Philadelphia meet Ignatius in Troas, as some allege they did, if he did not stop a considerable time there?
16700How could heresy be most effectually discountenanced?
16700How could it contend most successfully against its subtle and restless disturbers?
16700How could its unity be best conserved?
16700How could the unity of the Church be best maintained?
16700How did the friends of the Church proceed to grapple with these difficulties?
16700How do they happen to possess the name they bear?
16700How was the Church to be kept from going to pieces?
16700How was the vacant place to be supplied?
16700If a stranger brother come to her, what lodging in an alien''s house?
16700In whom was it a possible that we, the lawless and the unholy, could be justified, save by the Son of God alone?
16700Is Achaia near to you?
16700Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house?
16700Is it probable that a man of the mature faith and large experience of Ignatius would have thus addressed so youthful a minister?
16700It might now be asked with no small amount of plausibility-- Is the presiding presbyter to have no special privileges?
16700Men proceed more cautiously in worldly things; and he that is not trusted with earthly goods, why should he be trusted with divine?
16700Now, therefore,_ why tempt ye God_, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers, nor we, were able to bear?"
16700Some of the works of this writer have perished, and his only extant productions are a discourse entitled"What rich man shall be saved?"
16700The wise men manifestly expected to see a_ newly born_ infant, and hence they asked--"where is he that_ is born_ King of the Jews?"
16700Was an individual, who was himself not much advanced beyond boyhood, the most fitting person to give advice as to these matrimonial engagements?
16700Was it extraordinary that individuals who were supposed to be entrusted with such tremendous influence soon began to be regarded with awful reverence?
16700Was the senior presbyter, no matter how ill adapted for the crisis, to be allowed to take quiet possession?
16700Was there love without dissimulation, and the keeping of the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace?
16700Well might the Pharisees be perplexed by the inquiry--"How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles?"
16700Were not these children baptized?
16700What are we to understand by"the quietness of God?"
16700What could be expected from those who honoured such deities?
16700What then was its meaning?
16700What then?
16700What way shall we find to extricate ourselves out of this labyrinth?"
16700What, then, can these angels be?
16700When Paul asks the Corinthians--"How say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?"
16700Where did he gather all this recondite lore?
16700Who can tell how"the three mysteries of the shout"were"done by means of the star?"
16700Who could believe that the bishop of Carthage held exactly the same official rank as every one of his episcopal auditors?
16700Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
16700Why are they gathered into the right hand of the Son of Man?
16700Why should a letter from London to New York travel round by Palestine?
16700Why should she have permitted it to be supplanted by an interpolated document?
16700Why should their innocent age make haste to the remission of sins?
16700With how much more truth do dumb animals, such as mice, swallows, and kites, judge of your gods?
16700[ 144:2]"But what,"observes a modern writer,"are the soundings at this point?
16700[ 401:2] But who can believe that Irenaeus describes Ignatius, when he speaks of"_ one of our people_?"
16700[ 403:5] Is it at all probable that Polycarp, at the age of six and twenty, was in a position to warrant him to use such a style of address?
16700[ 422:1] Well may the Christian reader exclaim, with indignation, as he peruses these words, Is the Holy Ghost then a mere rope?
16700[ 423:1] Who can undertake to expound such jargon?
16700[ 426:3] Do not all these circumstances combined supply abundant proof that these Epistles were written in the time of this Alexandrian father?
16700[ 447:2]"Ubi fomenta fidei de scripturarum interjectione?"
16700[ 476:1] It is to this arrangement that Tertullian refers when he says--"What necessity is there that_ the sponsors_ be brought into danger?
16700[ 476:2] And how does Tertullian meet this argument?
16700[ 490:2]"Nonne solemnior erit statio tua, si et ad aram Dei steteris?"
16700[ 498:2]"Is not this the fast that I have chosen?"
16700[ 519:3] May we not here distinctly recognize the close of one system, and the commencement of another?
16700[ 520:2] What explanation can be given of this awkward circumstance?
16700[ 545:2] How are we to account for this interregnum?
16700[ 557:4] Why has it then been mentioned as an exhibition of the episcopal humility of Anicetus?
16700[ 649:1]"Some indeed,"says Paul,"preach Christ even of envy and strife, and some also of good- will.... What then?
16700[ 649:4]"When the Novatians say--''Dost thou believe remission of sins and eternal life by the Holy Church?''
16700and who, that has inquired, does not join us?
16700and who, that joins us, does not long to suffer?"
16700saith the Lord,"to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
16700when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
22371But,you say,"there is also confusion to be seen,--what does that signify?"
22371Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? 22371 Can virtue be taught?"
22371Love God and man; what higher rule can there be?
22371Say not, Who shall ascend into heaven to bring him down, or who shall descend into hell to bring him up? 22371 The unjust man has the advantage,--in what?
22371What art thou, then? 22371 Will,"--nay, is he not here with us now?
22371Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? 22371 You dare to believe that even I in my mightiness am set to help you to be good?
22371You want to be good?
22371A mother would convey to her little daughter some full sense of the motherly feeling that yearns within her, but how can it be done?
22371Against all allurements of indolence, comfort, and social convention he presses the question, What is_ true_?
22371And what is all beauty, all grandeur, but the manifestation, through the eye to the soul, of the one Supreme Being?
22371And who knows where this dry, dead grass vanishes when the green blades fill all its room?
22371Another man walks always in steady allegiance to conscience and right, and never has any rapturous emotions; is not he, too, the child of God?
22371Are men worthy of love?
22371Are not these the very presence of Deity?
22371Are we baffled in our search for a divine plan in the universe?
22371Being appointed to such a service, do I still care about the place in which I am, or with whom I am, or what men say about me?
22371But do we know how fast races or families can improve if brought in contact with the most helpful influences of other races or families?
22371But it may be asked, Does this attitude bring man face to face with a personal God?
22371But what, meantime, is our disabled and secluded invalid to do?
22371But who can love a Balance of Probabilities?
22371By what road shall man attain his supreme desire,--how can he be good, and how can he be happy?
22371Can our religion find no other emblem than the cross,--the instrument of torture?
22371Comfort?
22371Do not results with hardened convicts, with Indian and negro pupils, suggest that there may be an immense acceleration of moral progress?
22371Do we say, But this does not comfort me, does not reassure me?
22371Do you feel yourself alone and empty- hearted?
22371Does any sense of bondage weigh you down?
22371For what is a greater storm than that which comes from appearances which are violent and drive away the reason?"
22371From this slough of despond he is lifted-- how?
22371Has that experiment ever been fairly tried?
22371He first propounds in clearness the most important question of humanity,--how shall man by reason and by will become master of life?
22371He has had his hours of clear vision and high resolve,--why have they borne such poor fruit in his actual life?
22371How are they related to the terms of the old religion?
22371How can one love such a scattered, immense, diversified thing as this you describe to me?"
22371How does that Divine Power appear in the procedure of the universe?
22371How escape the thought that he and all mankind are but playthings in the grasp of cruel and ironic fate?
22371How shall we make men good?
22371If an oak- tree takes a century to get its growth, shall a man expect to win his crown in a day?
22371If one asks, How shall I gain faith in God and hope of immortality?
22371If we ask,"But may life be saved by fidelity?"
22371Is he not more real to our thought and love than ever before?
22371Is it a proposition to be believed about some being throned above my sight?
22371Is it the entire absence of any outlook beyond this life which makes the gloom of the later works?
22371Is it the individuality, or that higher power of which it transmits a ray?
22371Is it wisdom, or statesmanship, or executive power?
22371Is man then free, or is he the passive creature of a greater power, and of what nature is that power?
22371Let us look nearer home; can we not find the clew to a divine plan in our own lives?
22371Look, vain man, at my works; consider the war- horse, the behemoth, the leviathan; how can your petty mind judge the creator of these?
22371Mankind has pondered long the lesson of sorrow: dare it enter the whole inheritance of sonship, and taste the fullness of joy?
22371May we not hope that wickedness, in the broad survey of mankind''s upward progress, is the stumbling of a child over its alphabet?
22371Or was Christ''s death simply the transfer of a debt on the books of divine justice?
22371Purity,--who has not felt its hallowing regard fall upon him from the eyes of maid and matron?
22371Shall I give my first- born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
22371Shall the dead arise and praise thee?
22371Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave?
22371Shall thy wonders be known in the dark?
22371So I am told: how shall I interpret it in my experience?
22371So Micah speaks:"Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with yearling calves?
22371Spencer, who has been the most successful in generalizing the new knowledge, comes back to the inquiry, By what law shall man guide his own conduct?
22371Suppose that were to happen?
22371That keynote is given in this truth: that there is no moment so dull or so hard but one can ask himself, What is the best the situation allows?
22371The church of God,--but has man a God?
22371The human mind confronts the question,"Are my dearest faith and love and hope based on reality?"
22371The moral idea is thus reaffirmed and extended, but how can man attain that ideal?
22371The question presents itself to man:"Is the Power that rules the universe friendly to me?"
22371The sacraments, again, what was their precise nature?
22371They did not attempt any complete records of his earthly life,--what need of that, when the life was so soon to be resumed?
22371They saw and felt the incongruities of the world as a moral administration, and sometimes pressed the inquiry, as in Job,_ Why_ does Yahveh thus?
22371To bear trouble together, and for each other''s sake to rise above it,--what knits hearts together like that?
22371Twenty years of quiet follow; great events are impending, eloquent men are rousing and leading; what is there for this silent Virginian?
22371Was that the end of it all?
22371We may recall the piercing question of Socrates,"Can virtue be taught?"
22371What better name can we give it?
22371What does the dog think of it all?
22371What is the actual destiny of those human lives which show only frustration and failure?
22371What meaning can any mortal, after all, attach to them in reference to such an object?"
22371What need of a supernatural religion to a man who finds religion in his own nature and in the nature of the world?
22371What new interpretations has this century seen of the personal ideal?
22371What new light does the evolutionary philosophy throw on man''s chief problem, the right conduct of his own life?
22371What real providence is there for the slain sparrow?
22371What relation do they bear to the life which is within our command,--to our deliberate, purposeful, self- ordered life?
22371What says the heart of man at its highest?
22371What symbol could he have used more intelligible?
22371What, then, does the world most need of us?
22371Whatever comes?
22371When a good wife sees her husband unfortunate and out of work, what is it that she most dreads?
22371When the last hour of life comes, what retrospect shall we wish?
22371Where is the righteousness of God?
22371Where, asks the stricken heart, shall I find the God of comfort?
22371Who can feel the hand of such a deity as that when his hand gropes for support in face of temptation, disaster, heartbreak?
22371Who ever sees these last oak leaves fall?
22371Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
22371Why, then, did Stoic philosophy fail of more wide or lasting success among mankind?
22371Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams or with ten thousands of rivers of oil?
22371Would we know something of the Divine Mother- heart?
22371Yet, what does Dante show as the actuality of the world after thirteen centuries of Christianity?
22371You say,"We see ugliness as well as beauty,--what does that mean?"
22371You say,"We see wickedness,--what of that?"
22371_ What_ do I love in the friend whom here I see?
22371and do I not entirely direct my thoughts to God, and to his instructions and commands?"
22371and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?"
22371more universally coming home?
22371or thy faithfulness in destruction?
18486''O God,''I cried,''why may I not forget? 18486 But,"you say to yourself,"there''s danger of going to extremes here, is there not?"
18486Do you want to be a Christian?
18486Lovest thou Me?
18486Lovest thou Me?
18486Unclean lips,is it?
18486''Lord, whence are those blood- drops all the way That mark out the mountain''s track?''
18486A big"if"you say?
18486Am I their keeper?
18486And then a questioning arose: was some one perhaps looking at me?
18486And what is luxury?
18486Badly?
18486But the leaders are few; and what could they do without the great mass of followers?
18486But was he brokenhearted over them?
18486But was there more than this?
18486But, some one says, how can we really follow this Lone Man, our Lord Jesus Christ?
18486Could it be that He saw some lingering trace of the Father''s face in these faces?
18486Could n''t they do_ any_thing?
18486Could there be a greater evidence of the power of this Holy Spirit than to do such a thing with such as we know ourselves to be?
18486Could there be anything to make clearer His hunger for the human touch?
18486Did Peter take in the meaning that day?
18486Do you hear it?
18486Do you know about this sort of thing?
18486Do you know about this?
18486Do you love?
18486Do you remember that other young Jewish, university- trained aristocrat?
18486Do you remember that time when our Lord Jesus associated Himself so closely with just such men and women, in talking of a coming day?
18486Do you remember when the Greeks came to Philip with their great plea,"Sir, we would see Jesus"?
18486Do you think so?
18486Does that mean that there is much earnest service that we have not been told to do?
18486Does the crowd get hold of your heart as you elbow your way through them, or look down into their faces?
18486Does this make all the stronger His sympathy with us in our upper reach out of such things?
18486Has that image ever been wholly lost?--terribly blurred and scarred by sin, yes; but wholly lost?
18486Have I?
18486Have we done what we could?
18486Have you ever noticed the picture in the word"follow"?
18486Have you ever tramped to"Georgy"?
18486Have you ever wondered what there was in those common crowds to attract our Lord Jesus?
18486Have you ever worn the"Georgy"shoes?
18486Have you ever_ seen Christ_?
18486Have you noticed how much the current of the stream will do for you if you are out in a row- boat?
18486Have you noticed the significance of that word"abide"which our Lord used on the night of His betrayal?
18486Have you?"
18486Have you_ seen Christ_?
18486Have_ you_ seen Christ?
18486He seems interested in them, and calls out familiarily,"Have you caught anything?"
18486He went to a great extreme on the cross, did He not?
18486His_ face_; torn?
18486His_ friend_,--do you get hold of that word?
18486How about you and me when it comes to the knife, with its sharp cutting edge, and slash and sting?
18486How can it be said, with any soberness of practical meaning, that He is in need, and in desperate need?
18486How can we really follow?
18486How do you define those two words?
18486How much would it mean to Him if your signature at the bottom of legal papers put some property at His disposal?
18486How shall I trust myself to speak of that morrow, or you to listen?
18486How shall we know this filling, do you ask?
18486I can hardly take it in,--His_ friend_?
18486I still feel the pathos of face and voice as the dear old mother, and the gentle wife, asked so eagerly,"When will he be back?"
18486Is it a bit of an innate instinct in our common human nature, that only through sacrifice can the hurt of life be healed?
18486Is it a picture of your road?
18486Is it any wonder the people came astonished to know what this meant?
18486Is it just a crowd to you?
18486Is it possible?
18486Is there any extreme like that of Gethsemane?
18486Is there any world quite like it, except indeed it be the slums of our western world cities, European and American?
18486Is there perfect music without the underchording of the minor?
18486Is this the meaning-- one meaning-- of"blessed are the pure in heart for they shall_ see God_"?
18486Is your religion_ livable_?
18486It was out of a breaking heart that the cry was wrung,"My God, My God, why didst_ Thou_ forsake Me?"
18486Just what is meant by_ a clear vision?_ I could say at once that it means a vision of our Lord Jesus Christ.
18486May I tell you a little bit about it?
18486Only I?
18486Or is it a great company of hungry hearts, half- starved lives, so needy for what only this Lord Jesus can give?
18486Or, shall we join the company at the half- way stopping place?
18486Shall I say, men and the Holy Spirit?
18486Shall We Go?
18486Shall we go on_ all the way_?
18486Shall we go, too?
18486Shall we go?
18486Shall we take a look at that face?
18486Shall we take a moment more to look at these three finger- posts a little more closely?
18486Take a look through your wardrobe; who and what controls there?
18486The Hilltops V. Shall We Go?
18486The Japanese was saying,"Oh, yes, I believe all that as a theory, but is there_ power_ to make a man_ live_ it?"
18486The second great factor in carrying out what He began is-- how shall I put it?
18486Their dazed eyes show that they think they could not have heard aright,--He to_ suffer!_ What could this mean?
18486To bear This constant burden of their grief and care?
18486Was he utterly broken down with grief as he led them to the little running brook of Kishon for the nation''s sake?
18486Was it as though the Father''s face cried out to Him out of these poor beaten faces?
18486Was that the first time the spell of a crowd began to get its subtle heart- hold on Peter as he looked into their hungry eyes?
18486Was there ever such a meeting of sin and purity, of love and hate, of God''s best and Satan''s worst?
18486Was there ever such love?
18486Was there ever such sin?
18486Was this the dead- level, monotonous stretch of the road, from the time of the early teens on to the full maturity of thirty?
18486Well, let any thorns tear because of the narrowing of the road; I''m His friend, man, do you hear?
18486Well, then just what do I mean practically?
18486What Is Sacrifice?
18486What could He mean?
18486What is in those safety- deposit boxes?
18486What is necessity?
18486What kind of a house do you live in?
18486What proportion of your income do you spend on yourself?
18486What was there to attract the Lord Jesus to these crowds?
18486Where do you draw the deciding line between necessity and luxury?
18486Where does the true dividing line come in?
18486Which makes stiffer climbing?
18486Who built that fire?
18486Who can withstand the great appeal of the crowd''s eyes?
18486Who cooked that fish?
18486Who was thinking about them and caring for their personal needs, when they were so tired and hungry?
18486Why is it?
18486Why must I suffer for the others''sin?
18486With us character is a result of choice, and then nearly always-- or should I cut out that"nearly"?
18486Would God lead us into temptation?
18486Would any man have enjoyed home- life with all the rare home- joys, the sweetest of all natural joys, so much as He?
18486Would it not be better if we were to count the cost, and then_ deliberately_ decide?
18486You say,"I''m not just sure,"or"How can I know?"
18486[ 21] And at last God said to Himself,"What more can I do?
18486_ This_--has there come to you a real sense of Himself?
18486_ We----"?_ Poor, self- confident Peter!
18486a long look?
18486and Calvary?
18486and if it be to follow, then follow_ all the way?_ I want to talk a little later about what it means to follow.
18486of His presence?
18486of the tremendous plea His presence makes?
18486yes; scarred?
14867Does the perfect Buddha live on beyond death, or does he not? 14867 I cannot-- will not fight,"he says;"I seek not victory, I seek no kingdom; what shall we do with regal pomp and power?
14867Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you?
14867Now, that which is created,he adds,"must of necessity be created by some cause-- but how can we find out the Father and maker of all this universe?
14867[ 26] There is a deep pathos in the question which I have just quoted,How can we find out the Father and maker of all this universe?"
14867''Is Buddhism really older than Christianity, and does it really contain many things which are found in the Bible?''"
14867''Is it really true?''
14867''Why did you not tell us all this before?
14867... Did humanity begin with a coarse fetishism, and thence rise by slow degrees to higher conceptions?
14867Again, the question arises, How can responsibility be transferred from one to another?
14867And how are we to account for their striking similarities?
14867Are not we sons of the mighty Duryodani?
14867But are they?
14867But does conversion mean the same, or anything like the same, thing in each?
14867But how shall the false systems of religions be studied?
14867But the question may be asked,"Do we not admit a similar principle when we speak of a man''s influence as something that survives him?"
14867But what is the evidence found in the legends themselves?
14867But what is the testimony of the great dead religions of the past with respect to a primitive monotheism?
14867But who knows whence his blessings come to him?
14867But_ how_ have these conquests in Central Africa been made?
14867Do the traces of a comparatively pure monotheism first show themselves in the recent periods of idolatry?
14867Do they appear to have risen from polytheism toward simpler and more spiritual forms, or have simple forms been ramified into polytheism?
14867Dost Thou only care for men?
14867Even if change were possible, therefore, how shall the old score be settled?
14867For what else have many excellent members of our faith done?
14867Good men are asking,"Is not such a study a waste of energy, when we are charged with proclaiming the only saving truth?
14867Have they shown an upward or a downward development?
14867Have we forgotten our Rama and Arjun, Yudistar or Bishma or Drona the Wise?
14867How can he be a lover of truth, which is God, if he knows not his beloved under such a disguise?
14867How can there be reconciliation to God, then, without repentance and humiliation?
14867How can we attain unto them?
14867How could Buddhism grow out of such a soil and finally cast its spell over so many peoples?
14867How did the early Church succeed in its great conquest?
14867How is it with the authenticity of Buddhist literature?
14867How is the young missionary, who knows nothing of their systems or the real points of comparison, to deal with such men?
14867How much may we expect to prove from the early history of the non- Christian systems?
14867How shall we account for the similarities above indicated, except on the supposition of a common and a very ancient source?
14867How shall we explain that career?
14867How then did they succeed?
14867How was it that Islam gained its conquests, and what is the secret of that dominion which it still holds?
14867How was such a man to be met?
14867How will the mere philosopher explain this wonderful power of personality over men of all races, if it be not Divine?
14867How, then, shall we draw the line between history and legend?
14867If Krishna is within and without, what is the use of austerities?
14867If Krishna is_ not_ within and without, what is the use of austerities?
14867If Krishna is_ not_ worshipped, what is the use of austerities?
14867In the old churches of the East or on the Continent of Europe, how much of virtual idolatry is there even now?
14867In the receptacle of what was it contained?
14867Is it any wonder that such persons have a warm side toward Buddhism?
14867Is it_ in pari materia_, and if not, is the comparison worth the paper on which it is written?
14867Is not downright earnestness better than any possible knowledge of philosophies and superstitions?"
14867May there not, after all, be danger in the study of false systems?
14867May we not believe that the ideas here expressed had always existed in the minds of the more devout rulers of the empire?
14867Men had begun to ask themselves the great questions of human life and destiny,"Whence am I?
14867Mr. Goldwin Smith, in an able article published in the_ Forum_ of April, 1891, on the question,"Will Morality Survive Faith?"
14867No man sings there,''Shall not my soul be submitted unto God?
14867O Almighty One, hast Thou not power to make us other than we are, that we too may have some part in the blessings of life?"
14867Of what value can heathen asceticism and merit- making be while the heart is still barred and buttressed with self- righteousness?
14867Or Lactantius, or Victorinus, Optatus, Hilary, not to speak of the living, and Greeks innumerable?
14867See we not how richly laden with gold and silver and apparel that most persuasive teacher and most blessed martyr, Cyprian, departed out of Egypt?
14867Stop, O Brahman; why do you engage in austerities?
14867The Bhagavad Gita and the Gospel both enjoin the brotherhood of men, but what are the meanings which they give to this term?
14867The eating of bread is in conformity with the ordinance of God; can one forget that his blessing rests thereupon?...
14867The question"Are ye not of more value than many sparrows?"
14867The question, What is Nirvana?
14867The real question is, what was the_ drift_ of the prophet''s character?
14867Then follow other questions:''Does Buddhism really count more believers than any other religion?''
14867There is recognized no future intervention that can effect a change in the downward drift, and why should a thousand existences prove better than one?
14867Was it enveloped in the gulph profound of water?
14867What are the lessons of the various ethnic traditions?
14867What are their aims, respectively?
14867What could be more horrible than the story just brought down by the messengers who were with Major Festing?
14867What could have produced them?
14867What has become of the tens of thousands of peaceful agriculturists, their wives and their innocent children?
14867What help, what rescue can mere infinitude of time afford, though the transmigrations should number tens of thousands?
14867What human skill could have depicted a character which no ideal of our best modern culture can equal?
14867What is the relation between these two currents?
14867What is this mysterious being of which I am conscious?"
14867What methods were adopted, and with what measures of success?
14867What then enshrouded all the teeming universe?
14867What was the influence of his professed principles on his own life?
14867What were the elements of power which enabled the great sage of China to rear a social and political fabric which has survived for so many centuries?
14867What, then, is Kharma?
14867Where can we point to so easy a conquest as that of Patrick in Ireland, or that of the Monks of Iona among the Picts and Scots?
14867Where did Shankar and great Dayananda arise?
14867Where do violence, meanness, and deception gradually beam forth into benevolence and truth?
14867Where is the system in which such an incident and such a lesson would not be wholly out of place?
14867Wherein, then, consists the unique supremacy of the Christian faith?
14867Who shall change the leopard''s spots or deflect the fatal drift of a human soul?
14867Who would think of quoting"Paradise Lost"in any sober comparison of Biblical truth with the teachings of other religions?
14867Will there not be found perplexing parallels which will shake our trust in the positive and exclusive supremacy of the Christian faith?
14867Without a Daysman how shall we bridge the abyss that lies between?
14867Yet where in all the wide waste of heathen faiths or philosophies is there anything which even remotely resembles the story of the Prodigal?
14867or has perchance some other God made us?
14867what with enjoyments, or with life itself, when we have slaughtered all our kindred here?"
12799 But will you mark keenly that the teaching of Jesus Himself was that His return depended on His followers''doing a certain thing? 12799 May I speak very softly of another side of this knocking at our door?
12799Do you play cards?
12799Forenoon, afternoon, and night, Forenoon, afternoon, and night, Forenoon, afternoon, and what? 12799 How much money do you place at my disposal?"
12799No; why?
12799Why? 12799 Wo n''t You Save Me?"
12799''And I''ve been so tired- like at night, I could n''t think to pray, And now, when I see the Lord Jesus, What ever am I to say?''
12799< i> Foreign-mission field?
12799< i> Foreign-mission lands, would you call them?
12799< i> Shall we do it, hand in hand with Jesus, the only Saviour?
12799< i> Who is it that is knocking?
12799< i> Why did n''t your father come and tell my father?
12799< u> Giving God Free Use of Ourselves. Now the great question every earnest man asks himself is, How can I be of most use to God and my fellows?
12799< u> Jesus''World- passion. Have you not marked< i> the world- wide swing of Jesus''thought and plan?
12799< u> Living Messages of Jesus. Now, what is it that these people need, and that we can give to them?
12799< u> Make it a Story. Now, how shall we best tell men of Jesus?
12799< u> Mother- love. Now of these sorts and degrees which is the highest and finest?
12799< u> Returning Our Call. Will you please remember that their knocking at our door is a direct result of our knocking at their door?
12799< u> The Love Passion. What is this greatest of passions called love?
12799< u> The Oratorio of Victory. Have you ever noticed the Oratorio of Revelation?
12799< u>"Won''t You Save Me?
12799After a bit she said-- woman is always the keener--"Why do n''t you sleep?"
12799And I heard Him say to Judas, so kindly,"Betrayest thou the Master with a kiss?"
12799And has any other book stuck into people''s memories and hearts with such burr- like hold as it has?
12799And he said softly,"How did you know I was n''t sleeping?
12799And he said softly,"Why do n''t< i> you eat?"
12799And of our good old Anglo- Saxon Bible?
12799And still the pleading,"''Then is it nothing to thee?
12799And the mother said quietly,"Are n''t you going to bed?"
12799And the mother said,"Why do n''t you eat?"
12799And the next day Peter turned again to Paul and said,''Would n''t you like to take another walk to- day?''
12799And two men dressed in white dropped down by our sides and stood there and said:"Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing into heaven?
12799And what is it they are singing?
12799And what words can be used strong enough in speaking of the blessed work of medical men in foreign- mission lands?
12799Are We True to Our Friend''s Trust?
12799Are we being true to our Friend''s trust?
12799Are we growing ourselves into bigger- sized, finer- grained, better- controlled men and women daily?
12799Aye,< i> Who?
12799But is that all?
12799But many ask, how can we be watching when it''s been two thousand years since He told us to watch, and the event seems as far off as ever?
12799But may I tell you now plainly that it wo n''t be an easy thing?
12799But one man, an earnest, godly old minister said,"How can you be looking expectantly for a< i> thousand years?
12799But-- but what is it they are after?
12799Can we do better?
12799Can you see the water- mark plainly imprinted there?
12799Could there be a more sensible way?
12799Could there be greater evidence, by contrast, of the drawing power of His purity and goodness and steadfast devotion to His mission?
12799Do n''t they know that out in common daily life the knife of sacrifice is held across the path constantly, sharp edge out, barring the way?
12799Do they forget that this is the language of the common people?
12799Do you believe Peter had Paul as his guest and did n''t take him to Gethsemane, did n''t take him to Calvary and Mount Olivet?
12799Do you hear them?
12799Do you know, I think that is the best picture of God I have ever run across in any gallery of life?
12799Do you not know how as you go about your ordinary round there is a constant undercurrent of thought?
12799Do you remember Jesus''words in Matthew, chapter twenty- five?
12799Do you remember the famous reply, often quoted, given to a foreign visitor at the English court?
12799Does anything happen< i> at the other end? Does my prayer do anything in Hang- chow?
12799Does anything take place in Pittsburg or in Hang- chow that would n''t have taken place if I had n''t prayed?
12799Has anybody ever yet used as blunt homely, talk as this old Book uses?
12799Have I?
12799Have we done what we could?
12799Have you ever looked into a single drop of water and seen the sun?
12799Have you ever noticed God''s water- mark on the paper of this first leaf of His Book?
12799Have you?"
12799He could n''t save both;--which?
12799He was asked,"If God loves you, why does n''t He take better care of you?
12799He was asked:"Do you drink whiskey?"
12799How many times have the missionaries been obliged to listen to the question, which is a reproach rather than a question,"Why did n''t you come before?
12799How much owest< i> thou to thy Lord?
12799How shall we talk best about God so as to get clear, sensible ideas about Him?
12799Hungry, should feed, Or stranger, lodge thee here?
12799Indeed, how else could man understand?
12799Instantly, as the question was asked, he looked up with surprised eyes, and said,"Do n''t you know where Elkhart is?
12799Is Judas so lonely, after all?
12799Is he so much alone?
12799Is it partly because our daily round is so narrow and small?
12799Is there any discoloration on our gold?
12799Is there more stored away for ourselves than is being sent out on His errand?
12799It has been saying,"Is n''t this going a bit too far?
12799Just then a little sweet- faced girl in the crowd touched his hand, and looked up beseechingly into his face, and said,"Wo n''t you please save me?
12799May I call your attention to some of the louder of these knockings?
12799May I first remind you what they do n''t need?
12799Now, you ministers, do n''t you believe the people want preaching like that?
12799Oh, shall unworthy gifts once more be thrown Into His treasury-- by whose death we live?
12799Or had--?
12799Or shall we now embrace His cross, and give Ourselves, and all we have, to him alone?"
12799See that hole right there?
12799Shall I say that that plan has failed?
12799Shall we not make plans at once to increase our foreign correspondence?
12799Shall we< i> not do it?
12799Some of you may be strongly inclined to lift your eyebrows and ask-- Is there really any such emergency?
12799The Master''s Plan Will the World Be Won?
12799The greatest question for the Church to- day is-- shall we enter the open door?
12799The one test question He makes for all is this-- What did you do for these hungry people?
12799Then Mr. Moody said,"My friends, I want to ask you this question: Do you believe that picture is overdrawn?
12799Then the next question asked itself: How much of this foreign business are we doing?
12799Was there ever such a knocking at the door of the Christian Church as this?
12799We have indeed waked them up, but-- to what?
12799What art thou indeed That I should heed Thy lamentable need?
12799What is the finest and highest love that we know?
12799What is the matter?"
12799What of the cold world''s scorning?
12799What would he do?
12799When the pilot was taken on board, he cried abruptly to the captain,"What do you mean?
12799When they met he said:"Is your son sick?"
12799Where shall we start in?
12799Which will get the patient?
12799Which?
12799Who is it knocking at our door so loudly to- day?
12799Who is this that calls?
12799Who knows?
12799Who''s There?
12799Why disturb them?
12799Why do n''t you sleep?"
12799Why does n''t He tell some one to send you warm shoes and some coal and better food?"
12799Why is it?
12799Why not follow the rule of the old Bible?
12799Why were you such a fool as to get in there?
12799Will you kindly come up nearer in spirit, as we close our talk together, and let me ask softly: Have we given the free use of ourselves to the Master?
12799Will you mark very keenly why they went to< i> Japan?
12799Wo n''t you, please?"
12799Wo n''t< i> you?"
12799Would the prayer as really do something as the letter and the draft?
12799You remember, that last week, the request of the Greeks for an interview?
12799no more?
12799or< i> home-mission?
12799shall I not be let Alone, that thou dost vex me yet?
12799the whole of that brilliant ball of fire there in one tiny drop of water?
12799will the whole world be won?"
14996And the second command?
14996And the third command?
14996But is there not some doubt in the matter?
14996By thinking things out, and asking the question, Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
14996Can the City of God be established without some powerful impulse of the human heart? 14996 Did he really sit down and choose, or did he only toss up?"
14996How can we hope to get a true system of education from politics?
14996Is there any atmosphere more degrading? 14996 No man can serve two masters"--is not that the teaching of the modern hypnotist in dealing with"a divided self"?
14996Set your affections on things above--is not that the counsel of the sane psycho- analyst in treating a diseased mind?
14996What are we to do?
14996What is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 14996 Why seek ye the living among the dead?"
14996A friend of mine once asked him,"Are you a Christian or a Neoplatonist?"
14996A great industrial upheaval, for example, where would that land him?
14996Already in France and Germany the question is asked, Did Jesus institute any sacraments at all?
14996Am I to remain outside the Church till then?"
14996And here again, did he not break faith, and once more seek Truth outside its walls?
14996And what had been His science of life, His reading of the riddle?
14996And what is faith?
14996And yet have we not outgrown anything of the kind?
14996Anything may happen?
14996Are we to set against such plain testimony the pessimistic agnosticism of a voluptuary like Omar Khayyám?
14996But how are we to set out on this quest since"Science will not allow us a starting point at all"?
14996But how should man be treated?
14996But if it is self- will, he asks, how is it to be overcome?
14996But is it not the same thing?
14996But is there any heart in his devotion?
14996But is this hypothesis, which is essential to science, to be left in the position of Mahomet''s coffin?
14996But some will ask: What is the Unitarian Church doing to make these intelligent opinions prevail?
14996But the question would remain, With what food is the flock to be fed?
14996But when Father Knox looks in the glass does he not see its staring fallacy?
14996But would it?"
14996Can that ever be achieved by a disunited Christendom?
14996Did Athanasius make it easier?
14996Did he keep the Truth of his boyhood-- the Truth of his father''s church?
14996Did he not go outside the fortress of Evangelicalism and seek for Truth in the fortress of Anglo- Catholicism?
14996Did the Inquisition which condemned Galileo make it easier still?
14996Do I love?
14996Do I think?
14996Do the Labour leaders hail him as a leader?
14996Do the poor love him?
14996Do what?
14996Does he fail to see that this argument not merely explains but vindicates the rejection of Christ by the Jews?
14996Does he, then, shut out the humble and the poor from the Kingdom of God?
14996For, after all, is not the Christian challenged with an identical criticism by the champions of materialism?
14996Has he found them?
14996Has he reached strength at the centre, one wonders, by doing violence to any part of his moral being?
14996He asks us, Is Truth something which we are ordered to keep, or something which we are ordered to find?
14996He keeps his feet firmly on scientific ground, and asks, as a man of science asks, What is this?
14996How did they reach that belief?
14996How do we get it?
14996How evil came does not matter: the question is, Why is it here?
14996How is it that he has come to such a pass?
14996How is it that he suggests to us no feeling of the relation of triumphant leadership, but rather the spirit of Napoleon on the retreat from Moscow?
14996How is this dangerous condition of things to be remedied?
14996If God is in the Church, why does n''t He do more for it, and so more for the world?
14996If Truth is not something to be found, how is it that he is not still in the house of his fathers?
14996In what way is he unpleasant?
14996Is age to be a test of truth?
14996Is devotion to a formula to count as an argument?
14996Is it better here?
14996Is it not a just claim, a Christian claim, that the social organisation should be based upon"moral principles"?
14996Is it not because she has nothing to give, nothing to teach?
14996Is it not possible that the day may come when a gigantic income will seem"ungentlemanly"?
14996Is it not probable that he was driven from the field by Fear rather than summoned to the battlements by Love?
14996Is it not to be investigated?
14996Is it possible to give an answer to this question which will not open again the floodgates of controversy?
14996Is it possible to understand such a perversion of mind?
14996Is it to be a battle between tradition and tradition?
14996Is our business holding the fort?
14996Is there not here the opportunity of an evangel, the dawning of an immense hope on the world?
14996May it not be said, too, that nothing is so disagreeable to a conservative mind as the fermentation induced by the leaven of a new idea?
14996May it not be that the door has no key because it has no lock?
14996Might he not perhaps say with another great man,"What must God be if He is pleased by things which simply displease His educated creatures?"
14996Modernism will go on; but what will happen to Dr. Henson?
14996Must there not be something akin to the evangelical enthusiasm of the last century, something of a revivalist nature?
14996Need we wonder that Dr. Gore cries out despairingly for more discipline?
14996Never mind whether He had founded this Church or that, what had He said?
14996Now there is in our experience already one principle which does answer the question"Why?"
14996Of an Anglican clergyman''s popularity I have heard it said,"Who could not fill a church with the help of the band of the Grenadier Guards?"
14996Or is it looking for the Pole?
14996Should I have thought of doing that?
14996Someone once asked him which he would choose, a Black tyranny, or a Red?
14996The claim is obviously courageous, the claim of a brave and noble man, but one wonders, Can it be made good?
14996The modern world rightly asks of every opinion and idea presented to its judgment,"Is it true?"
14996The very fact that one does not ask, How would he direct it?
14996They were to have concluded the service with the hymn,"When wilt Thou save Thy people?"
14996To whom did Christ entrust the key of this door?
14996What am I to say to one who has the passion of Christian morality in his heart, but asks me whether these verbal statements of belief are essential?
14996What can you expect from such people?"
14996What do they accomplish?
14996What do your people really believe in?"
14996What does it mean?
14996What had He said?
14996What has he done?
14996What has he ever done?
14996What is it doing in the universe?
14996What is it doing?
14996What is it possible to think of him?"
14996What is its part in the coherent system of all- things- together?
14996What is the definition of a door?
14996What is the reason for that failure?
14996What is wrong with this generation?
14996What is wrong with this generation?
14996What logic, what magic of holiness, could destroy a false religion if tradition is sacrosanct and all innovation of the devil?
14996What was the first command of our Risen Lord to the apostle Simon Peter?"
14996What were those needs?
14996What, I wonder, is his definition of that term, heathenism?
14996What?
14996When he varied his question, and asked,"What have you learnt from the war?"
14996Who asks him to interfere with the lives of other people-- other people who are perfectly contented to go their own way?
14996Why ca n''t he leave people alone?
14996Why do we put up with it?
14996Why is it she has so fatally lost the attention of mankind?
14996Why is the Church so powerless?
14996Will you help me?"
14996Would any theologian have invented such an idea?
14996Would you have thought of doing that?
14996Yes; but did Dr. Gore make it harder than it need be?
14996_ Why is there no problem of good?_ Note well, that"the problem of evil is always a problem in terms of purpose."
14996and Why is this?
14996and what are those movements of the time which call in his judgment for unpleasantness?
14996is he not in truth asking, What is this thing''s purpose?
14996or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"
14996what are we to do?''
14996what then?
14996you exclaim, were the Keys of Heaven and Hell entrusted to even those Popes who lived sinful lives and brought disgrace on the name of religion?
45122A_ mere_ man?
45122And how can we love what is totally different from ourselves?
45122And if a name was wanted for that intimate relation between God and man, what better name was there than Father and Son?
45122And if so, why should that love ever cease?
45122And shall we find them again such as they left us?
45122And where can we study the science of thought, that most wonderful instance of development, except in the languages and literatures of the past?
45122And why should it be so different when the door opens, and we step out of this dark life into the bright room?
45122And yet who will say that true Christianity, Christianity which is known by its fruits, is less vigorous now than it has ever been before?
45122Are they not human too?
45122Are we not altogether at the mercy of God?
45122But can we prevent the light of the sun and the noises of the street from waking the happy child from his heavenly dreams?
45122But how can we speak of these things except in metaphors?
45122But what did he mean by soul?
45122But what is the reason of this?
45122Can we imagine a more powerful revelation?
45122Can we say that of God''s love?
45122Can we wish for more than what we are, lookers- on-- resisting what tries to crush us, call it force, or evil, or anything else?
45122Does the Self take possession of a body because it lives, or does the body live because the Self has taken possession of it?
45122Has our prosperity taught us to meet adversity when it comes?
45122Has the Self which for a time dwells in a living body anything to do with what we call the life of that body?
45122How are we to do justice to our ancestors except by letting them plead their own case in their own language?
45122How it is in that larger world, who can say?
45122How much more in the real presence of a real and really beloved God, as felt by the true mystic, not merely as a phrase, but as a fact?
45122How then can we rely on it as an accurate picture of the thoughts of Moses and his contemporaries?
45122How, where, when?
45122If God is called holy, again we have to say No, for what can our conception of holiness be compared with the holiness of God?
45122If people talk of the miseries of life, are they not all man''s work?
45122If so, does the body die because the Self leaves it, or does the Self leave the body because it dies?
45122If there is continuity in the world everywhere, why should there be a wrench and annihilation only with us?
45122Is any kind of religion possible without an unquestioning trust in truth?
45122Is it not all one?
45122Is it not the same with the Beautiful?
45122Is it nothing to know that there is a solid rock on which all religion, call it natural or supernatural, is founded?
45122Is not a real fact that happened, in a world in which nothing can happen against the will of God, better than any miracle?
45122Is not that also God''s will?
45122Is that better than Christ''s own simple human language, I go to my Father?
45122Is that nothing?
45122Is there any one who loves us more than God?
45122Is there anything among the works of God, anything next to God, more wonderful, more awful, more holy than man?
45122It is all God''s work, and where is there a flaw in that wonder of all wonders, God''s ever- working work?
45122It is true our hopes are human, but what are the doubts and difficulties?
45122Look at the miserable conceptions which man made to himself as long as he spoke of gods beside God?
45122Much rather should we ask, Was then Jesus a mere God?
45122Nay, is it not our duty to wake the child, when the time has come that he must be up and doing, and take his share in the toils of the day?
45122Need we wonder, therefore, that just those who wish to transfer only their highest to the Godhead begin to shrink from speaking of a personal God?
45122Or again, Are we to make ourselves gods?
45122Shall we meet again as we left?
45122Should we then attach our hearts to nothing, and pass quietly and unsympathetically through this world, as if we had nothing to do with it?
45122Shut our eyes and be silent?
45122Surely this was not so in the early centuries, nor again at the time of the Reformation?
45122Then what can we do?
45122To live means to be able to absorb, but who or what is able?
45122Was not Christ, who died for us, more than we ourselves?
45122We are in a dark prison here; let us believe that outside it there is no darkness, but light-- but what light, who knows?
45122We believe what we desire-- true-- but why do we desire?

45122We seem to love the fleeting forms of life, and yet how can we truly love what is so faithless?
45122What can we do?
45122What do we ourselves mean by soul?
45122What does that mean?
45122What does that mean?
45122What ground have we, then, to doubt that it was even before that moment?
45122What has life to do with the Self?
45122What led to such expressions as''God is Love''but a feeling of reverence, which shrank from speaking of God as loving as we love?
45122What should we be without it?

45122What, then, is that something which, added to the good, makes it beautiful?
45122What, then, is the touchstone by which we assay the Beautiful?
45122Whence all these limits?
45122Whence comes melody?
45122Where is the temple of God, or the true kingdom of God?
45122Where is there a flaw or a fault?
45122Wherever and whenever it was, we feel that we have made ourselves what we are; is not that a useful article of faith?
45122Who would blame them or disturb them?
45122Why do we so seldom face the great problem?
45122Why not?
45122Why not?
45122Why should all be different?
45122Why should we look for God and listen for His voice outside us only, and not within us?
45122Why should we protest against a similar unknown quantity before the beginning of our life on earth?
45122Why should we try to know more than we can know, if only we firmly believe that Christ''s immortal spirit ascended to the Father?
45122Why was the past often so beautiful?
45122Would it not be fearful to live for one day unless we knew, and saw, and felt His Presence and Wisdom and Love encompassing us on all sides?

60488And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? 60488 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us?
60488He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? 60488 Is he the God of the Jews only?
60488Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? 60488 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders?
60488What is the object of this unparalleled, this mysterious incarnation? 60488 When Jesus came into the coasts of CÃ ¦ sarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
60488Wherewith shall I come before the Lord( said the prophet Micah),"and bow myself before the high God?
60488Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt? 60488 And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you? 60488 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? 60488 And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? 60488 And why did God make himself man? 60488 Are we then to pronounce all divine incarnation false, every tradition of it spurious? 60488 Are we to infer that these faults have the same origin as the doctrines with which they are intermixed, and that they are both divinely inspired? 60488 Are we, therefore, to affirm that those laws are necessary, and that no deviation from them is possible in nature? 60488 But He answered and said unto them,Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
60488But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
60488But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of?

60488But why an attack of this character, so indirect and little complete?
60488By a voice from without or by an internal inspiration?
60488By what marks can we distinguish the Divine origin of this special revelation that became the Christian religion?
60488By what ways did Jesus Christ penetrate the human soul to accomplish this great work?
60488Did they act up to their teachings, and accomplish what they attempted?
60488Did they cause humanity to make any great progress, and open to it horizons which it had not before known?
60488Did they really change the moral and social condition of nations?
60488Do these two monuments form but one single edifice?
60488For what is it that unites in a church if it is not faith?
60488Had He not to do so when invested with the attributes of humanity, among contemporaries, and even in his own family?
60488Has God need of man''s concurrence?

60488Have they, or not, a meaning and an object?

60488He acts, it is said, only by general and permanent laws: how can we implore His interference in favour of our special and exceptional desires?
60488He has himself his moments of sadness, of disquietude:"And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, What shall I do unto this people?
60488He is immutable, ever perfect, and ever the same: how is it conceivable that He lends Himself to the fickleness of human sentiments and wishes?
60488He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
60488How did He win the human soul to the Christian faith, in order to snatch it from evil and to save it?

60488Impossible that men should not feel themselves bound to act towards each other as God has done to them; and towards what man is not charity a duty?

60488Is it, then, in His own name that Jesus Christ teaches and commands?
60488Is its influence legitimate, as well as efficacious?
60488Is this the normal and definitive state of man and of the world?
60488Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip?
60488Laws there are which govern them;--is there a legislator?
60488Miracles formerly constituted the great force of the sermon, at the present day what are they but a secret source of embarrassment?

60488What are their beginning and their end?
60488What are they in comparison and in contact with Christian nations?

60488What is man himself, but an incomplete and imperfect incarnation of God?
60488What is the full import of this title?
60488What is the full meaning of these words?
60488What is the meaning of this?
60488What is the origin of each, and whither does each tend?
60488What is to become, in this absolute ruin of the nationality of the Jews, of their God, and their faith?
60488What mean these inward disquietudes,--these alternate impulses of pride and weakness?

60488What teach, what command, in that speech full of authority?
60488What the signification of the inspiration of the sacred volumes?
60488What then ensues?
60488What then is this but to pretend to comprehend God?
60488What was the positive extent of this primal revelation, the necessary attendant upon creation, which occurred in the first relation of God with man?
60488What wonder if Christ has in these days to encounter such adversaries?
60488When it has no other God than the universe, no other man than the chief of the mammalia, what is it but a mere system of Zoology?
60488Whence come this commingling and this strife?
60488Whence comes this Utopia of innocence and bliss in the cradle of the human race?
60488Whence does the world proceed, and whence does man appear in the midst of it?
60488Whence in him this harmony between the philosopher and the Christian?
60488Where are these nations at the present day, more than two thousand years after the appearance of these glorious characters in their history?
60488Wherefore suffering and death?
60488Who does not see how this sublime fact exalts man''s dignity at the same time that it illustrates the worth of man''s nature?
60488Who is there that does not discern an essential, an absolute difference between what is general and what is necessary?
60488Who shall define the possible contingencies, or fathom the mysteries of this relation?
60488Who shall sound the depth of the fall, and of the change which it brought into the moral condition of its author?
60488Who shall weigh the consequences of this change to the state and the moral dispositions of man''s descendants?
60488Why did these four essential systems-- sensualism, idealism, scepticism, and mysticism, appear from the most ancient times?
60488Why has he left Chaldà ¦ a?
60488Why prayer?
60488Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil?
60488and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
60488and by what right do they oppose his nature to his providence, if his nature is, to us, an impenetrable mystery?
60488how does it lose its illusions?
60488is he not also of the Gentiles?
60488or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?
60488shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?
60488shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
60488why is it that the intimate experience of my own heart can not express itself in a forcible protest against any such opinion?
60488wist ye not that I must be about my Father''s business?
60488{ 147} Is it possible to determine in words of greater precision the religious and moral object of the inspiration?
60488{ 178} Can He not, if He will, accomplish all his designs by himself, and through the fulness of his omnipotence?"
60488{ 206} But what, in this decline, will become of the law revealed on Sinai to Moses?
60488{ 212} And shall, then, the Hebrews oppose no efficacious resistance to these reverses?
60488{ 245} What Reformer, other than Jesus Christ, ever held to his followers such language?
60488{ 248} What does He say to them?
60488{ 258} Need I say more?
60488{ 278} Is it lawful to give tribute unto Cesar, or not?
60488{ 287} Another day,"came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
60488{ 36} In what does this dogma consist?
60488{ 3} Under the empire of these laws, man feels and calls himself free: is he so in reality?
60488{ 47} To what does this idea of a primal time, without strife, without sin, and without pain, correspond?
60488{ 49} Is this a pleasure foreign to all personal sentiment, to all secret reference to ourselves, the pleasure, that is to say, of a simple spectator?
60488{ 5} I borrow the following admirable observations from M. de Châteaubriand:--"Why does not the ox as I do?
60488{ 62} Whence comes this power?
60488{ 80} And are we then to regard this merely as a pious, a generous illusion, a devotedness as vain as admirable?
60488{ 87} Do you ignore absolutely what the people really is, and what all those nations are that cover the surface of the earth?
60488{ 95}''Whither, whither, O Lord, marches the earth in the heavens?''"
60488{ 97} Have you well weighed all this?
60488{ xiii} Does it comprehend properly, does it suitably carry on the warfare in which it is engaged?
11771Could we commit mankind to a moral Deism without trembling for the result?
11771And does that free- will penetrate the universal frame invisibly to us, an omnipresent agent?
11771And if theological questions are to be dealt with, ought they not to be dealt with accurately, and not loosely?
11771And if this be so, has Christ failed?
11771And the real point is what proof has he given us that this is a revealed fact; that it is so, and that we have the means of knowing it?
11771And what is it that our Lord has done for man by being so truly man?
11771And what mighty mischief will result to countervail the application of this rule of justice?
11771And what was the proof of that doctrine, or essential to the proof of it?
11771And who is this St. Peter?
11771And why does this belief seem untenable to Mr. Maurice?
11771And why should this vast and far- reaching change be made?
11771And would a God who can not act be a God?
11771Are death and separation such light things to triumph over that imagination finds it easy to cheat them?
11771Are little manuals of falsified history confined only to one set of people?
11771Are our conclusions of the customary type?
11771Are they not of the customary, but of a strange and unknown type?
11771Are we likely to be more pained by their faults and deficiencies than he was?
11771But at the end of all such inquiries appears the question of questions, What was the beginning and root of it all?
11771But how to give to the meagre and narrow hearts of men such enlargement?
11771But in ordinary times would it not be well for her to confine herself to more modest and practicable undertakings?
11771But what good gift of God is not liable to abuse from men?
11771But what has taken place in the interim to produce this total change in our belief?
11771But what of all this?
11771But what other voice but his, of equal authority and weight, has been lifted up to speak the plain truth about them?
11771But why should he not?
11771But why?
11771But, first of all, what is that Christianity, and whence did it come, which Rome so helped?
11771Can the enthusiasm for the divinity of human nature stand the test of clear, unsparing observation?
11771Did not Christ do this?
11771Did the command to love go forth to those who had never seen a human being they could revere?
11771Did the statutes of the Reformation involve the abandonment of the duty of the Church to be the guardian of her faith?
11771Did, then, this event really take place?
11771Do they not?
11771Does Dr. Newman think that all Dr. Pusey felt he had to do was to conciliate Roman Catholics?
11771Does the bigness of the property entitle the State to claim it?
11771For if those witnesses and documents deceive us with regard to the miracles, how can we trust them with regard to the doctrines?
11771From the mere repetition do we know anything more about its cause?
11771Has not modern philosophy, again, shown both more strength and acuteness, and also more faith, than the ancient?
11771How did it get there?
11771How is it that the most mysterious of all truths is a universally accepted one?
11771How to make them capable of a universal sympathy?
11771If their account of visible facts is to be received with an explanation, is not their account of doctrines liable to a like explanation?
11771If they are wrong upon the evidences of a revelation, how can we depend upon their being right as to the nature of that revelation?
11771Indeed, does not our heart bear witness to the fact that to believe in a God is an exercise of faith?
11771Is he right in saying that he is not responsible as a Roman Catholic for the extravagances that Dr. Pusey dwells upon?
11771Is his faith secure if they are disproved?
11771Is it State property which the State may resume for other uses?
11771Is it near, or somewhat distant, or indefinitely remote?"
11771Is it that authority still reigns upon one question, and that the voice of all ages is too potent to be withstood?
11771Is it that they think it does not matter what a man believes, and whether a man turns Papist?
11771Is it unlawful for the Church to hold property?
11771Is it vexatious that the Church should be richer and more powerful than the sects?
11771Is not John Foxe still proof against the assaults of Dr. Maitland?
11771Is our standard higher than his?
11771Is the question of their truth or falsehood an irrelevant one to him?
11771Is there a contradiction in the idea of a personal Infinite Being?
11771Is there a contradiction in the idea of creation?
11771Is there above the level of material causes a region of Providence?
11771Is this an account of the world of fact or the world of romance?
11771It is most astonishing that it should have done so, what is the account of it?
11771It is plain that two great questions arise-- first, Are miracles possible?
11771It is pleasant to praise them for their real qualifications; but why do you rest on them as authorities?
11771It will be asked, Is the question to receive no judicial solution?
11771Look at it only as a conception, and does the wildest fiction of the imagination equal it?
11771Mere consciousness-- was not that of itself a new world within the old one?
11771Mere knowledge-- that nature herself became known to a being within herself, was not that the same?
11771Mr. Gladstone first goes into the question-- What was done, and what was the understanding at the Reformation?
11771No doubt it did; but what was it that responded, and what was its consolation, and whence was its power drawn?
11771Now by what means did he procure that these immense pretensions should be allowed?
11771Now, if this is not mere rhetoric, what does it come to?
11771Of these two influences-- that of Reason and that of Living Example-- which would a wise reformer reinforce?
11771Or is the evidence of it forestalled by the inductive principle compelling us to remove the scene_ as such_ out of the category of matters of fact?
11771Où est le sage qui a donné au monde autant de joie, que la possédée Marie de Magdala?
11771Shall surprise, then, give life to belief or stimulus to doubt?
11771Shall we speak of the originality of the design, of the skill displayed in the execution?
11771That possibly is sufficient for his purpose; but it may still be asked-- What did the Watson case itself grow out of?
11771The principle of authority is shaken, he tells us; what can he suggest to restore it?
11771Then what have we got besides the past repetition itself?
11771This being so, what would a man do who wished to study it methodically?
11771What can be more incomprehensible, more heterogeneous, a more ghostly resident in nature, than the sense of right and wrong?
11771What has produced this change, and elicited this new power of action?
11771What is it which guards this truth?
11771What is it which makes men shrink from denying it?
11771What is it?
11771What is the Gospel picture?
11771What is the argument urged in the Historical Introduction to justify or recommend our acquiescence in it?
11771What is the consequence?
11771What is the explanation of it?
11771What is the history of this?
11771What is there fascinating, or even imposing, in such a character?
11771What more entirely new and eccentric fact, indeed, can be imagined than a human soul first rising up amidst an animal and vegetable world?
11771What was there in the known thoughts or hopes or motives of men at the time to furnish such a response?
11771What, then, is the secret of its force?
11771What, then, is this investigation, and what course does it follow?
11771When it came to the question-- which every one must sooner or later put to himself on this subject-- Did these things really take place?
11771Whence is it?
11771Who can describe exhaustively the origin of civil society?
11771Who can describe that which unites men?
11771Who can dispute it?
11771Who has entered into the formation of speech which is the symbol of their union?
11771Who is the humble man?
11771Why is atheism a crime?
11771Why, if they are wrong, extravagant, dangerous, is his protest solitary?
11771Why, then, are we so certain of its_ future_ repetition?
11771Without infallibility, it is said, men will turn freethinkers and heretics; but do n''t they,_ with_ it?
11771Would a Deity deprived of miraculous action possess action at all?
11771Would he approve that word or disapprove it?"
11771Would it not be well for her to adapt her ends to her means?
11771Would it not be well for the Church to impose upon its ordinary members only ordinary duties?
11771Would it not issue in such an estimate of human nature as Mahomet took?
11771and what is the good of the engine if it will not do its work?
11771for our belief in the uniformity of nature?
11771must it come?
11771next, If they are, can any in fact be proved?
11771or can Christianity die?
11771ought it to come?
16322But is it not horrid?
16322But what are they doing this beastly work for?
16322Now tell me, how much sense does the head have that lays down a command on a matter where it has no authority? 16322 What is it?"
16322When will I ever attain to that state of mind that I am sure God is pleased with me?
16322Who is Paul,he exclaims,"and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed?
16322''Of what use is salt,''he exclaims in another passage,''if it do not bite the tongue?

163222, 8), or when he speaks slightingly of the observance on which the Colossians prided themselves as"rudiments of the world"( Col. 2, 20)?
16322A beautiful sentiment for an anarchist to utter, is it not?
16322After declaring to the Romans:"Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound,"he raises the question:"What shall we say then?
16322Ah, says our Catholic critic, but was he not free to change his mind?
16322And if any man sin,"-- mark this well:"If any man sin,"though he ought not to sin,--what does the apostle say to him?
16322And now, what does Luther say on the subject of polygamy?
16322But did not Luther sanction the bigamy of Philip of Hesse?
16322But did not the Lord proceed to declare Peter the rock on which He would build His Church?
16322But does this estimate of Luther square with the facts in the case?
16322But if these laymen are allowed to do their work without restraint, what do the Romanist scribes mean by their laws?
16322But should not the spiritual and temporal powers combine to find some means of meeting these difficulties without any such heathen practise?
16322But supposing there were superabundant merits, supererogatory works of Christ and the saints, who has determined their quantity?
16322But was it necessary, in speaking of the inability of the Law to save men, to use such strong and contemptuous terms as Luther has used?
16322But what about the answer of the Lord to the rich young man?
16322But what about the many coarse references in Luther''s writings to sexual matters- references which are unprintable nowadays?
16322But who was there at that time who would have taught me how I had to go about it?
16322But why did not these excellent principles attain better results in Luther''s own time?
16322Can any language of contempt in which Luther afterwards spoke of this doughty champion of Rome be too strong?
16322Can the reader guess why?
16322Can the reader imagine a cause for this phenomenon?
16322Can the reader suggest a reason?
16322Can they do any more?
16322Could there be a better faith than this, a faith less free from worry and anxiety?
16322Dare I believe myself so smart as to know better than the Church?"
16322Did Luther say, and did Mathesius report, that up to the year 1505 he had not known of the Bible?
16322Did Melanchthon contemplate some crime which he was too timid to perpetrate?
16322Did not King Diarmid have two legitimate wives and two concubines?
16322Did you see that naughty man stab the pretty soldier right through his uniform?"
16322Do you forbid even to bark at these wolves?
16322Do you think the price paltry and the payment small that has been made for us by this great Lamb?"
16322Does Rome perhaps think the same of all the pious pilgrims that annually crowd Rome?
16322Does not the doctrine of justification by faith alone, without the deeds of the Law, abolish the holy and good Law of God?
16322Does not the prophet say,"Cursed be he that doeth the work of the Lord deceitfully, and keepeth back his sword from blood"?''"
16322Does the true Law of God, when properly applied, ever have any other effect upon natural man?
16322Every night were the corpses of murdered men found in the streets, yet none dared move; for who but might fear that his turn would be next?
16322For God''s sake, how can you conceive a thought like that?
16322For what is your life?
16322For, does not their system of indulgences rest on a theory of imputation?
16322Had they ever had a greater bargain offered to them?
16322Has it created that chaos and confusion which Catholics claim it must inevitably lead to?
16322Has not one of the canonized saints of Rome, St. Augustine, declared that bigamy might be permitted if a wife was sterile?
16322Has not the married relationship come up for"dispensation"in the chancelleries of the Vatican innumerable times?
16322Has the reader ever heard of such an officer of the Roman Church as the inquisitor, one of whose duties it was to hunt for Bibles among the people?
16322Have they really no such thing as a"dispensation"at Rome?
16322Have you only written, and not read what you have written?
16322He felt like Paul when he groaned:"O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death?"
16322He says:"What need is there why we should try to find all sorts of reasons to explain why the fathers under Moses were permitted to have many wives?
16322He 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?
16322How can I come to I live righteously?
16322How can I hope to die calmly, in the confidence that I am going to heaven?
16322How could a person pay for a donation, especially such a donation of spiritual and heavenly treasures?
16322How did they treat the just claims and reasonable demands of the German nation for measures that were admitted to be crying needs of the times?
16322How did this power become attached to Rome?
16322How do I obtain a good conscience?
16322How do so many towns and villages manage to exist without these houses?
16322How else can heretics be kept it bay?''
16322How fitting would it be if the Leipzig authorities would lay down laws for us at Wittenberg, or we at Wittenberg for the people of Leipzig?
16322How had they treated Luther?
16322How had they treated simple laymen in whose possession a Bible was found?
16322How is my sin to be forgiven?
16322How is this intelligence conveyed to purgatory that Mr. So- and- so is free to proceed to heaven?
16322How many parishioners in all the Catholic churches of this country to- day own a Bible?
16322How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?"
16322How?
16322However, did not Luther and Catherine both perjure themselves by marrying?
16322If Peter possessed the supremacy that Catholics claim for him, how and by what right did he dispose of it at his death?
16322If a priest is killed, the country is laid under an interdict; why not also if a peasant is killed?
16322If any engage in such proceedings and drag my name into it, what can I do to stop them?
16322If that is the case, why do they attack Luther for his attempt to have the abuses corrected?
16322If the people of Israel existed without this scandal, why should not a Christian nation be able do so?
16322If there is such a thing among Protestants as"religious veneration"of Luther, what shall we call the veneration of Mary among Catholics?
16322If this is not adding insult to injury, what is?
16322If this is not so, of what use is the Bible?
16322If you have not heard of him before, look him up in_ Who is Who?_ most anywhere.
16322In a letter addressed to Joseph Levin Metzsch of December 9, 1526, Luther says:"Your first question: Whether person may have more than one wife?
16322Is he not reported in his Table Talk to have said that looking at a pretty woman or taking a hearty drink would dispel gloomy thoughts?
16322Is it anything else in the case of other men?
16322Is it not remarkable that Joseph Smith himself does not cite Luther as his authority in defense of plural marriages?
16322Is that evidence?
16322Is that possible?
16322Is the lock on the gate of heaven a common padlock, or like the cunning contrivances which are nowadays employed in safety vaults?
16322It says:"If God be for us, who can be against us?
16322Luther, Repudiates the Ten Commandments?
16322Now tell me, how can a man see, know, judge, sentence, and change the heart?
16322Or to Hallam in his_ Middle Ages_, where he reports concubinage in Europe?
16322Or to Lea, who proves that this evil was not confined to the laity?
16322Otherwise, what is to become of the Bible?"
16322Quite correct; but is not monasticism by itself an outrage upon human nature?
16322Rome will say: Why do you not do as we do in our Church?
16322Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?"
16322Tell me, would that be German?
16322The Lord had addressed to all His disciples the question,"Whom say ye that I am?"
16322The doctor:''Well, what does the Church believe?''
16322The people needed a leader, and who was better qualified for that than their trusted prince?
16322They must be entirely left out of account when such questions are to be answered as these: How do I obtain a gracious God?
16322Was He a slanderer when He called the Jews an adulterous and perverse generation, the offspring of vipers, hypocrites, sons of the devil?
16322Was not concubinage still recognized by law in the sixteenth century in Ireland?
16322Was the Church in those days built on a canting hypocrite?
16322Were not penances imposed on him in the confessional for every default?
16322What German would understand that?
16322What about the commandment to be perfect?
16322What about their religious vow, which had been given to God?
16322What are the facts in the case?
16322What are we to say about this antipapal violence of Luther?
16322What became of the Church in the night when Peter denied the Lord?
16322What bold immoral act did Weller commit in consequence of Luther''s advice?
16322What can poor mortal man do to break down such a cause?
16322What caused Luther to write those words?
16322What do you think of Christ?
16322What does the Bible say about faith being assurance of pardon and everlasting life?
16322What does the Bible say about faith without works as a means of justification?
16322What does the Bible say about man''s ability to fulfil the Law of God?
16322What does the Bible say about the condition of natural man after the fall?
16322What does the Bible say about the powers of natural man after the fall in reference to spiritual matters?
16322What does the Bible say about the relation of Christ to the Law and to sin?
16322What does the Bible say about the value of man''s works of righteousness performed by his natural powers?
16322What does the common law say about the prosecution coming into court with clean hands?
16322What effect has it had on human progress in every field of secular activity in Protestant lands?
16322What else does living mean than to be glad in the Lord?
16322What have Catholics to say in rejoinder to Sir Henry Maine''s assertion that the Canon Law of their Church brought about numerous sexual inequalities?
16322What have I done unto thee that thou hast smitten me?"
16322What have I done, he exclaims, to deserve the enmity of the Pope and his rabble, except that I have preached Christ?
16322What immoralities are there in Luther''s own life?
16322What is Luther?
16322What is the evidence?
16322What is there fatalistic about this?
16322What profit can there be in arguing the impossibility of a thing when the reality confronts you?
16322What sanctifying virtue lies in abstaining from beefsteak on Friday?
16322What sort of thing is''abundance of heart( Ueberfluss des Herzens)''?
16322What was their inquisitorial court but the anteroom to holy butchers''shambles, the legal vestibule to murder that had been sanctioned by the Popes?
16322Whence comes this great difference among equal Christians?
16322Whenever this happened, was it not his duty to endeavor to repair the damage?
16322Where is Erasmus to- day in the world''s valuation?
16322Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread?
16322Who is he that condemneth?
16322Who shall lay anything to the charge of God''s elect?
16322Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
16322Who takes the inventory of this stock of the papal bank of Rome?
16322Who would not hold as of unsound mind the person who would command the moon to shine when it wishes?
16322Why did he not gently flatter him, that he might convert him, rather than thunder in such a way?
16322Why do not the Catholics embrace the early Christians in their charge of Bible mutilation?
16322Why do we not believe all the angels, since a single one of them has greater authority than the Pope?
16322Why do we not believe the Bible, when one passage of Scripture outweighs all the books in the world?"
16322Why scruple about a sin?
16322Why should not great cities be able to do so?
16322Why worry?
16322With the magnificent printing and publishing facilities of our times, how many persons are still without the Bible?
16322Would not every firm believer in the deity and Redeemership of Christ become the rock on which the Church is built just as much as Peter?
16322Yes, so the text reads, and with Luther we should now inquire: Was it a brass, or silver, or golden, or wooden key?
16322and your labor for that which satisfieth not?
16322note: sic] subjected to?
16322or the blade of a sword unless it be sharp enough to cut?
16322shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
16322that one should sin to spite the devil?
16322you''ve done it, you have squared your account again with the Almighty"?
48250But what amendment in any case can be espied in you? 48250 How long shall we do so?"
48250Knave,quoth one,"what have ye to do to meddle with the Scriptures?"
48250What sayest thou of the Mass?
48250What then,said another,"shall we leave to the bishops and kirkmen to do, if every man shall be a babbler upon the Bible?"
48250Who doubts of that?
48250Whom to?
48250Will the Duke?
48250Will ye,quoth she,"allow that they shall take_ my_ sword in their hand?"
48250Yea,said Lethington,"the Queen knew and knoweth it well enough; but the question is, whether the Queen allows such conventions?"
48250After long reasoning, some that were made for the purpose said,"Why may not the Lords vote, and then show unto the Kirk whatsoever is done?"
48250Ahab was a king, and Jezebel was a queen, and yet of what the Prophet Elijah said to the one and to the other, I suppose ye are not ignorant?
48250And Job consenteth to the same sentence, saying,"Seeing that He is higher than the heavens, what canst thou build unto Him?
48250And do ye not approve this vocation?"
48250And how long wilt Thou suffer this tyranny of men?"
48250And who shall be judge?
48250And why is now the just compelled to keep silence?
48250And yet, who guides the Queen and Court?
48250At first the flatterers of the Court stormed, and asked,"Who durst avow it?"
48250At length he asked,"Will ye save my life?"
48250But beginning to wax sorrowful in spirit, and being asked the cause, he said,"What differ I from a dead man, except that I eat and drink?
48250But how resisted the priests the king?
48250But were not the Estates of her realm assembled in her name?
48250But what authority have ye to convocate my subjects when ye will, without my commandment?
48250But, to the second part; where ye allege that ye offer Christ in remembrance, we ask, first, unto whom do ye offer Him?
48250But, where God is forsaken, what can counsel or judgment avail?
48250Do ye not consider that such a company needs comfort and provision from time to time?
48250Do ye think that the Apostles prayed themselves as they commanded others to pray?
48250Elisha feared not to say to King Jehoram,"What have I to do with thee?
48250For what was our force?
48250For why?
48250Have I not the Queen at my own devotion?
48250Have ye heard any teach, but such as the Pope and his Cardinals have allowed?
48250Have ye not heard it affirmed to his own face that God should revenge his blasphemy, even in the eyes of such as were witnesses to his iniquity?
48250Have ye not made convocation of the Queen''s lieges?
48250Have ye not written letters desiring the brethren to convene from all parts to Andrew Armstrong and Patrick Cranston''s day?
48250He again asked,"Is that Norman?"
48250He cried in his ear,"Take order, Sire, with your realm: who shall rule during the minority of your daughter?
48250He is deeper than the hell, then how shalt thou know Him?
48250Hearing this, he answered,"Why should the pleasing face of a gentlewoman affright me?
48250How can it be otherwise?
48250How can that doctrine be of God, seeing that God commands subjects to obey their princes?
48250How long shall darkness overwhelm this realm?
48250If I ask a drink, do you think that I sin?
48250If they did so, she would hold no Parliament; and what then should become of them that had melled[211] with the slaughter of the Earl of Huntly?
48250In explaining these words,"How long shalt Thou be angry, O Lord, against the prayer of Thy people?"
48250In the end, the preacher said to those that were present,"Was not this your charge to me?
48250In time of darkness, what could we do but grope and go wrong even as darkness carried us?
48250Is Oliver ta''en?
48250Is Oliver ta''en?
48250Is it not treason, my Lords, to accuse a prince of cruelty?
48250Is not France my friend, and am not I friend to France?
48250Is not my Lord Governor mine?
48250Is not that treason?
48250Is not the King dead?"
48250It was demanded, what could be reprehended in the translation used?
48250John Knox demanded,"Did ye consent, my Lord, to any part of that treason?"
48250John Knox demanded,"My Lord, who has betrayed you?"
48250Know ye not how the bishops and their officials serve us husbandmen?
48250Lo, what say ye to that?
48250May not my Lord compel me to answer to his extortionate power; or believeth he that I am not prepared to render account of my doctrine?
48250May we cast away what we please, and retain what we please?
48250May we do the same in matters of religion?
48250May we not suffer her a little while?
48250May we, think ye, take the Queen''s Mass from her?"
48250Now, Madam, if ye shall deny your duty to those who especially crave that ye shall punish malefactors, think ye to receive full obedience of them?
48250Now, Madam, who shall judge betwixt us two thus contending?
48250Or shall I be condemned before I be heard?
48250Or what are ye within this commonwealth?
48250Or when shall she be seen to give her presence to the public preaching?
48250Or whether her idolatry shall be laid to our charge?
48250Or, think ye, Madam, that God will be offended with them that have stayed their father from committing wickedness?
48250Others cried,"Against whom will ye fight?
48250Others demanded, What answer was received on the former occasion?
48250Our question is, whether we may and ought to suppress the Queen''s Mass?
48250Politic heads were sent to the gentlemen, with these and like persuasions,"Why, alas, will ye chase our Sovereign from us?
48250Remove him, and who abideth that carefully will travail in that or any other weighty matter in these parts?
48250Shall there not be four regents chosen, and shall not I be principal of them?"
48250Shall we suffer this whole realm to be infected with pernicious doctrine?
48250She will incontinently return to her galleys; and what then shall all realms say of us?
48250Such a man was too base for her estate; had not she been great Queen of France?
48250That was scripped at, and it was demanded,"How many of those that had subscribed that Book would be subject unto it?"
48250The Bishops, offended, said,"What prating is this?
48250The Cardinal asking,"Who calls?"
48250The King, wondering, said,"Adam Reid, what say ye?"
48250The Queen Regent, proud of this victory, burst forth in blasphemous railing, and said,"Where is now John Knox''s God?
48250The Sub- prior said to him,"Father, what say ye?
48250The captain said,"Will ye not go to the Mass?"
48250The godly began to bolden; and men began openly to speak,"Shall that idol be suffered again to take its place within this realm?
48250The said Master George, who was most sharp of eye and judgment, marked him, and as he came near said,"My friend, what would ye do?"
48250The sum of all his sermon was:"They say that we should preach: why not?
48250Then the ravening wolves became mad, and said,"Whereunto do we let him speak any further?
48250Then was heard nothing on the Queen''s part but,"My joys, my hearts, what ails you?
48250Thereat the idiot Doctors, offended, said,"What will ye do, my Lord?
48250Therefore, if I should now move the same question again, what should I do but either show my own ignorance and forgetfulness, or else inconstancy?
48250To what confusion and fear were idolaters, adulterers, and all public transgressors of God''s commandments brought within short time?
48250Was not his common talk,''When these knaves have railed their fill, will they then hold their peace?''
48250Was there ever a minister that gave thanks to God for her Majesty''s liberality towards them?"
48250Was there none amongst you who did foresee what inconveniences might ensue his absence from these parts?
48250We mean,"What honest man will do greatest service for least expense?"
48250What can that hurt us or our religion?"
48250What danger should I fear?"
48250What is it?
48250What say ye, my Lords?
48250What sayest thou of these things?"
48250What was I, that I should mell with such matters?
48250What was our number?
48250What will ye prove thereby?
48250When he beheld their laughing,"Laugh ye,"saith he,"my Lords?
48250When her placeboes gave their plaudits, affirming, with like countenance,"This is a good beginning,"she said:"But wot ye whereat I laugh?
48250When the Archbishop, in mockery, said to Adam Reid of Barskymming,"Reid, believe ye that God is in heaven?"
48250Where are these knaves that have brought me this tale?"
48250Where find ye that the Scripture calls any the bond slaves to Satan?
48250Where have ye the example of such prayer?
48250While disorder arose more and more in the army, men cried in every ear,"My Lord Lieutenant, what will ye do?"
48250Who but the Protestants?
48250Who gave him authority to make convocation of my lieges?
48250Whom else desirest thou to be thy judge?"
48250Why flee ye now, villains, without order?
48250Why may not the Kirk, for good causes, devise ceremonies to decorate the Sacraments and other of God''s services?
48250Will they not give us a letter of cursing for a plack,[14] to last for a year, to curse all that look over our dyke[15]?
48250Will ye condemn all that my Lord Cardinal and the other bishops and we have done?
48250Will ye vote in this matter, or will ye not vote?"
48250Witness his eldest son there in pledge at my table?
48250Would not we be as sorry to hurt the religion as would any of you?"
48250Ye have known my service, what will ye have done?
48250Ye said, What ado had I to speak of your marriage?
48250Yea, what wisdom or worldly policy was in us, to have brought to a good end so great an enterprise?
48250[ 216] The papistical ceremony, down to its minutest details(?).

48250_ Knox._ But what obedience, to God or to His Word, ensues of all that is spoken to her?
48250_ Knox._ But wherein can I be accused?
48250_ Knox._ Is it lawful for me, Madam, to answer for myself?
48250_ Knox._ Whom blames your Grace for that?
48250_ Lethington._ But where do ye ever find one of the Prophets so to have prayed?
48250_ Lethington._ But yet, why pray ye not for her, without moving any doubt?
48250_ Lethington._ How can it be defended?
48250_ Lethington._ I know that the idolater is commanded to die the death; but by whom?
48250_ Lethington._ Where will ye find that any of the Prophets did so entreat kings and queens, rulers or magistrates?
48250_ Lethington._ Wherein rebels she against God?
48250_ Lethington._ Why say ye so?
48250_ Lethington._ Why say ye that she refuses admonition?
48250_ Maxwell._ No offence, to convocate the Queen''s lieges?
48250_ Queen Mary._ Ye interpret the Scriptures in one manner, and they interpret in another; whom shall I believe?
48250_ Queen Mary._ Ye think, then, that I have no just authority?

48250_ Queen._ What have ye to do with my marriage?
48250_ Queen._ What is this?
48250_ Sub- prior._ Will ye bind us so strait that we may do nothing without the express Word of God?
48250and next, by what authority are ye assured of well doing?
48250and should ye not love your neighbours as yourselves?"
48250or that the Prophets of God speak so irreverently of kings and princes?
48250what account shall the most part of princes make before that Supreme Judge, whose throne and authority so manifestly and shamefully they abuse?
27514But what if you simply told me your own experience-- what religion has done for you?
27514What if, instead, you stayed at home and talked to me of religion?
27514''And that--?''
27514''And what is that?''
27514''Are you dying for him?''
27514''Are you satisfied with yourself my lord?''
27514''But how,''he writes,''can I hesitate?
27514''Do you know what I wish you would do, Fred?''
27514''Have you ever known in your life,''he asked,''a moment when you felt that a great change happened to you?
27514''How am I to begin?
27514''How can a man be_ born again_?
27514''How can a man_ be born_ when he is old?''
27514''How will you answer to our common Lord,''he asks,''that you, sir, never led me into light?
27514''Is it possible, is it possible?''
27514''May I tell you,''she asked,''the Bishop''s way of meeting all difficulties, sorrows and perplexities?''
27514''Now you know all about the book, do n''t you?''
27514''Oh, you will let me hold your brave hand, stranger?''
27514''Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
27514''Speculations?''
27514''Surely it is n''t too late just because the meetings are over?''
27514''Then why do n''t you free your slaves?''
27514''Three beats?''
27514''Turn,''he said,''to the eighth of Romans and put my finger on these words:"_ Who can separate us from the love of Christ?

27514''Whence came the figs and the vines and the olives, the corn and the flocks and the herds?''
27514''Whereunto,''he asks,''was I ordained a preacher and an apostle and a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity?''
27514''Which is that?''
27514''Which one?''
27514''Who was the author?
27514''Yes; but how is a poor devil to get out of this infernal scrape?''
27514''You would like to be better?''
27514''_ Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved!_''What did the schoolmaster mean?
27514''_ God is Love!_''''_ Prepare to Meet thy God!_''How could he, with his old hate in his heart, stand in the presence of a God of Love?
27514''_ How?_''asked Dr. Blund of Mr. Rodwell.
27514''_ How?_''asked Nicodemus of the Saviour.
27514''_ How_ can a man be_ born again_?''
27514''_ How_ can a man_ be born_ when he is old?''
27514''_ I have sinned_,''cried Job;''_ what shall I do?
27514''_ It is Finished!_''yes, indeed, Finished every jot; Sinner, this is all you need; Tell me, is it not?
27514''_ My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?_''He cried from that depth of dereliction.
27514''_ Those words_,''said old Donald Menzies, the mystic of Drumtochty,''_ those words fell upon me like a gleam from the Mercy- seat!_''What words?
27514''_ What shall I do?
27514''_ What shall separate us from the love of Christ?
27514''_ Wherewith shall I come before the Lord and bow myself before the high God?''
27514''_ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
27514And have I not taken my glass and filled it and quaffed with relish the sweet and sparkling water?
27514And have I not thought wistfully of the reservoir far up the slopes?
27514And how did it all come about?
27514And the result?
27514And the secret of this great unselfish life?
27514And the_ second_ stage-- the stage that leveled the balances?
27514And the_ third_ stage-- the triumphant stage?
27514And what if the sealed envelope contains a_ text_?
27514And what sins are these that are lying down with him in the dust?
27514And what was going on at the inner heart of things?
27514And what were they?
27514And why not?
27514And yet we have also felt the force of that persistent and penetrating_ How?_ Dr. Blund is no frolic of Mr. Begbie''s imagination.
27514And, if this be so, would not the original answer to the question be the best answer for the placard?
27514And, when they opened it, they read:''_ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
27514Angels?
27514Any fresh Creation?
27514Are you pretending?
27514At vesper- tide, One virtuous and pure in heart did pray,''Since none I wronged in deed or word to- day, From whom should I crave pardon?
27514But is it?
27514But was it dead?
27514But what does it matter?
27514But what is_ that_ compared with_ this_?
27514But will a man desire the salvation which the New Testament reveals unless he has first recognized his inability to meet heaven''s just demands?
27514But, say, can you add to that line That he lived for it, too?
27514Can there, indeed, be any true religion without these things?
27514Can you not say a few words in prayer in the early part of the service, that I may join with you in prayer for my husband before I return to him?''
27514Death?
27514Depth?
27514Did not the Son Himself venture to risk the wrath of the Father that He might redeem man?
27514Did they lead both of them to penitence and faith and peace?
27514Do they not represent the irreducible minimum?
27514Even from the standpoint of''a stern lady who is provokingly evangelical,''is it not well for the minister to preach on that objectionable text?
27514For who was the stranger murdered upon the highway?
27514From what source did that perennial stream of piety spring?
27514Have I a lifetime before me in which to work out repentance?
27514Have not I myself been down there in the dust and heat on such a day as this?
27514Have not I myself been parched and thirsty?
27514Have you ever been conscious of_ a new birth_ in your soul?''
27514Have you the same message for the living and the dying?
27514Height?
27514How can a man be_ born again_?''
27514How can a man be_ born again_?''
27514How could copies be obtained?''
27514How could he ever forget it?
27514I enjoyed the"_ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?_"I know few things finer.''
27514III What was it that led both Daniel Defoe and Sir Walter Scott to give the text such prominence?
27514If this be so, is it not as well for that Scottish minister to preach on that terrible text, after all?
27514If we can accept the_ four_ words, why not accept all_ six_?
27514If we credit the head of the text, why cavil at the tail?
27514If, he asked himself, as he lay upon the hay, if the whole work was finished, and the whole debt paid upon the Cross, what is there left for me to do?
27514If, however, there is any such secret in religion, why may I not attain to it as well as my mother?
27514Is it a face?
27514Is it any wonder that, this being so, Paul felt that his splinter positively shone?
27514Is it empty?
27514Is it good, is it fair, is it honest to strike out the real answer and to insert in its place an adopted one?
27514Is it not a fact that heaven_ does_ insist on equity and charity and piety?
27514Is the deleted text-- the worst text in the Bible-- true?
27514Is there no still greater incarnation of the faith?
27514It had found air to breathe and water to drink and grass to nibble; what did it care about the world?
27514It was when he listened to the_ Thou shalts_ and the_ Thou shalt nots_ that he cried,''O wretched man that I am: who shall deliver me?''
27514Life?
27514Looking fixedly into his visitor''s eyes, he exclaimed:''Tell me, have_ you_ been_ born again_?''
27514Mr. Cosmo Monkhouse has well asked-- Was ever man so simple and so sage, So crowned and yet so careless of a prize?
27514O Death, where is thy sting?_ IV But there was more in Sydney Carton''s experience than we have yet seen.
27514O Grave, where is thy victory?__ I am the Life!
27514O my God, why is not my heart doubly- agonized at the remembrance of all my great transgressions?''
27514Of what value was life to him, now that his soul was everlastingly lost?
27514Oh, why from His side flowed the sin- cleansing stream, If His dying my debt has not paid?
27514Oh, why was He there as the Bearer of sin If on Jesus my guilt was not laid?
27514Powers?
27514Principalities?
27514Shall I tell you of what it reminds me?
27514Surely I will not forget this forty years hence?''
27514They came at length to the final chapter; could he possibly live till it was done?
27514Things Present?
27514Things to Come?
27514To whom can she commit herself?
27514V Is there in all Scottish literature a more robust, more satisfying, or more lovable character than_ Donal Grant_?
27514VII''_ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?_''asked Uncle Tom, with his last breath.
27514What am I?
27514What are the mysterious words in the envelope?
27514What can it mean?
27514What can she do?
27514What does that mean?''
27514What greeting shall we send from the_ Civilization- that- is_ to the_ Civilization- that- is- to- be_?
27514What had become of him?
27514What is his message?
27514What is my poor self?"
27514What is that patch of paleness that I see up in the corner?
27514What is to be placed within it?
27514What is_ the world_?
27514What more do you want?''
27514What need to speak again?
27514What of the Grave?
27514What shall I do?_''But there is no reply.
27514What shall I do?_''cries this despairing soul at the beginning of my Bible.
27514What was James Chalmers''text?
27514What was it in the text that appealed so irresistibly to Robinson Crusoe and to Mary Avenel?
27514What was it that the preacher had said?
27514What was it to be_ born again_?
27514What would Huxley have been, I wonder, if the sympathy for which he hungered had been extended to him?
27514What would she be if trouble came upon him?
27514What, to him, was the significance of that great sentence that, as the catechism says, forms''_ the preface to the Ten Commandments_''?
27514What_ could_ he mean save that he was willing to be damned to save those whom he loved?
27514Where can she go?
27514Where did Franklin discover it?
27514Where, I wonder, will it stand in three thousand years''time?
27514Which am I to begin with?''
27514Who is there that has not read a dozen times the immortal postscript that Gibbon added to his_ Decline and Fall_?
27514Who now shall rally Freedom''s scattered host?
27514Who wear the mantle of the leader lost?
27514Who would not be irritated by a splinter, he asks, if the irritation leads to such an inrush of divine power and grace?
27514Why did I scarcely ever hear you name the_ name of Christ_?
27514Why did the Roman Empire so swiftly capitulate to the claims of Christ?
27514Why did you never urge me to_ faith in His blood_?
27514Why should not a man be willing to be damned for others?
27514Why?
27514Will a time ever come, I wondered, when London will be as Heliopolis is?
27514Will he live to discover them?
27514Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams or with ten thousands of rivers of oil?
27514Will the Needle, in some future age, be erected in some new capital-- in the metropolis of To- morrow?
27514Wooton, what must_ I_ do to be saved?''
27514Would Frank Bullen exercise that faith?
27514Yet, after all, what did it matter?
27514_ Does_ God require that man should do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with Himself?
27514_ God is----!__ God is-- what?_ He is----, But words are wanting to say what!
27514_ Who_ all the dim way doth illume, And bids me look beyond the tomb The larger life to live?
27514_ Who_ shares the burden wearisome?
27514_ Who_ walks beside me in the gloom?
27514he cries,''what shall I do?
27514he exclaims,''knowing so little of_ the earth_, do you attempt to explore_ the moon_?''
27514we ask, in every burial service,''where is thy victory?''
27514we cry,''where is thy sting?''
9069Are they not ashamed,he said,"to search God with their palates or with their nose?
9069But whom have you loved? 9069 Do we love anything,"he used to say to his friends,"except what is beautiful?"
9069Have not the pontiffs, like the poets, a bearded Jupiter and a Mercury without beard?... 9069 If we are lost in your eyes, why follow us about?
9069Immortal Paganism, art thou dead? 9069 Is it fit,"he said,"that a bishop should be a shipowner?...
9069Mother,said Augustin,"do you not love truth?
9069They pulled me,he says,"by the coat of my flesh, and they murmured in my ear-- What, are you leaving us?
9069Where wert Thou then, O my God, while I looked for Thee? 9069 Why,"he cries--"Oh, why do you hesitate to give yourselves lest you should lose yourselves?
9069--"I love the soul; how therefore should I not love them?"
9069A bishop a torturer?
9069After all, what are the rivalries of Marius and Sylla to us?
9069Ah, when shall this be?
9069Amid these controversies, where was the truth?
9069Among whom did the Apostolic tradition dwell?
9069And besides, in this resolution to exclude, what becomes of the great principle of Charity?
9069And even supposing one might save them, retain an ever- uncertain enjoyment of them, was the life of the time really worth the trouble of living?
9069And even supposing they were, can the fault of a single man be charged to the whole Church?...
9069And even supposing, that in spite of all efforts to save it, the Empire is condemned, must we therefore despair?
9069And his reason, which knows him well, answers:"Do you not then love your friends?"
9069And then, what tragedy more stirring and painful than the crisis of soul and conscience which tore his life?
9069And was not the Gospel ideal essentially more human than that of the pagan philosophers?
9069And why this horror of meat?
9069Are the old Saturn and the young Apollo so much the property of the poets that we do not see their statues too in the temples?..."
9069Are they comfortable for listening?
9069Are we to see in Donatism a nationalist or separatist movement directed against the Roman occupation?
9069Augustin, breathless in the victorious embrace of Grace, panted:"How long, how long?...
9069Boniface was quite capable of answering:"What are you interfering for?
9069But can a humble and contrite heart thus take pleasure in human adulation?
9069But may not this prohibition provoke husbands to kill their adulterous wives, so as to be free to take a new wife?
9069But suddenly she shuddered, raised herself, and asked in a bewildered way:"Where was I?"
9069But what matters that, when the continual miracle of his charity and his apostolate is considered?
9069By dint of gazing at this, and listening to the praises of the great local author, did the young scholar become aware of his vocation?
9069Can it surprise, then, if men so ignorant of high morality, and so deeply embedded in matter, were also plunged in the grossest superstitions?
9069Could he leave his mother, his son, his brother, and his cousins?
9069Could he manage to silence them at once?
9069Did Augustin remember these things?
9069Did Monnica observe anything of this change in Augustin?
9069Did he wish to hint that at this time Augustin had glided into paganism?
9069Did it grieve him very much to make up his mind to this exile?
9069Did the mother of Adeodatus justify such attachment-- an attachment which was to last more than ten years?
9069Did you not hear?
9069Do not all agree that this is the highest stage of philosophy?
9069Do they not follow some secret law?..."
9069Does not the sleeper wake?
9069Does this mean that he found there rich pavements, mosaics, and statues?
9069For example: If a man cast off his wife under pretext of adultery, might he marry again?
9069For what is it that I would say, O Lord my God, save that I know not whence I came hither into this dying life, shall I call it, or living death?...
9069For what sing these poets even to weariness, unless it be that no one can resist the Cyprian goddess, that life has no other end but love?
9069For whence, think you, do we implore God to drag us, so that we may be converted and gaze upon His face?
9069For, in fact, to whom had he been entrusted?
9069Give what?
9069Had Augustin a hand in this reconciliation?
9069Had Patricius ever seen the girl that he was going to take, according to custom, so as to have a child- bearer and housewife?
9069Had not Christ said:"Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world"?
9069Had that not been the proud desire of his youth?
9069Has your ear betrayed you, or did you want to find out if I was still capable of judging these things?"...
9069He said to himself:"Why desire the impossible?
9069He seized Alypius roughly by the arm and cried out to him in extraordinary excitement:"What are we about?
9069Henceforth, would he be allowed to live a little less as a bishop and a little more as a monk?
9069How came it that he was taken in by Boniface?
9069How can I hesitate after that to call myself your disciple?"
9069How could an African woman, so much attached to her country, agree to be buried in a stranger soil?
9069How could he control himself till then?
9069How could he part with them?
9069How did Augustin ever believe in the goodwill and good faith of this adventurer full of coarse passions, so far as to put his final hopes in him?
9069How did Boniface take a letter which was, in the circumstances, so courageous?
9069How did Monnica become the wife of Patricius?
9069How did the poor creature who had been faithful to him during so many years feel at this ignominious dismissal?
9069How was he to keep up his studies without the sums coming from his father?
9069How was it possible to doubt that the entire revelation was contained in such beautiful books?
9069How was it possible to exhort a victorious general to lay down his arms before the conquered?
9069How was it that he who had always had such feeble health undertook at this age the long journey from Hippo to Cæsarea?
9069How, indeed, could Augustin consent to take him from her?
9069If he loved birds, as a poet who knows not that he is a poet, did he love as well to play at"nuts"?
9069If it were otherwise, what was the good of the Redemption?
9069If you were beaten there, why do you come here now?
9069Immediately he put this question:"Why do those pauses come in the flow of the stream?
9069Is he not an adulterer in the eyes of the Church?
9069Is it forbidden to eat the meats consecrated to idols, even when a man or woman is dying of hunger?
9069Is it not from that jakes of the senses wherein our souls are plunged, and from that darkness of which the error is around us?..."
9069Is it wonderful that the Christian lessons of Monnica and the nurses at Thagaste became more and more blurred in Augustin''s mind?
9069Is not her song, so harmonious, so suave, so well attuned to the season, the very voice of the spring?..."
9069Is not the thought of bringing Him disciples enough to make us joyful?
9069It is now that he wrote:"Tell me, does not the nightingale seem to you to modulate her voice delightfully?
9069Just how far had Augustin dipped into them?
9069May adultery be practised with a woman who promises in exchange to point out heretics?...
9069May one enter into agreements with native camel- drivers and carriers who swear by their gods to keep the bargain?
9069Might not his passions, which were so violent, begin to torment him again after this respite with greater frenzy than before his conversion?
9069Need I name them to you?
9069Now, how did it come about that this monstrous loot took on before the eyes of contemporaries the magnitude of a world- catastrophe?
9069Now, why was this?
9069Or did he lodge with his master, a grammarian, who kept a boarding- house for the boys?
9069Or would not rather the struggle continue in the depths of his conscience?
9069Pertinax himself, did he not begin as a simple teacher of grammar, and become Proconsul of Africa and then Emperor of Rome?
9069Shall it not be, O my God, when we rise again among the dead...?"
9069Shall we be no more with you, for ever?
9069Shall we be no more with you, for ever?
9069Should not these priests, then, in the very interest of the Church, save themselves for quieter times, and escape the persecution by flight?
9069So what am I doing here?"
9069Suppose he tried to submit to that, to bring the faith of his childhood into line with his ambitions as a young man of intellect?
9069Then we turned to each other shuddering, and asked:''How much longer can this last?''..."
9069Then what was left to do since truth was unapproachable?
9069Then why do you baptize the Catholics under the pretence that their priests are_ traditors_ and as such unworthy to administer the Sacraments?
9069Then why should I blush to give you a place among us?
9069This unheard- of grace-- would it be granted to him?
9069To reign in a little corner of the world-- did Christ die for that?
9069To whom did he not write?...
9069To- morrow and to- morrow?...
9069Was Augustin, who still thought of becoming an official, going to mix in with this lot of swindlers, assassins, and brute beasts?
9069Was Aurelius his family name?
9069Was he at last to have a chance to rest himself, with the only rest suitable to a soul like his, in a steady meditation and study of the Scriptures?
9069Was he going to bury all that in a little town?
9069Was he going to do as the Emperor-- remain in the circus taken up with idle pleasures, while others took the road to the sole happiness?
9069Was it a nursery- rhyme that the little children of the countryside used to sing?
9069Was it indeed the country bishop, or rather the rhetorician Augustin who, in a burst of gratitude, hit upon this sublime sentence?
9069Was it not possible to reconcile them?
9069Was it possible?...
9069Was it really the end of the world, or only the end of a world?...
9069Was it that he lacked the gift of teaching?
9069Was not this as much as to say that the others belonged to the dissenters?
9069Was she pretty, rich, or poor?
9069Was this a good time to make a noisy profession of faith, to be enrolled among the ranks of the conquered party?
9069Was this the reason that he dealt softly with the native tribes, so as to make certain of their help in case of a conflict with the Imperial army?
9069Well, might not the same thing happen if some soldier were to ask you to dinner and obliged you to drink more than is wise?
9069What advantage was there in being Christian if they had the same treatment as the idolaters?
9069What could be Monnica''s feelings towards a woman who was not even a daughter- in- law and was regarded by her as an intruder?
9069What counts a woman before Rome and Carthage?
9069What else?
9069What greater destiny?
9069What matters that, if even in this excess he aims solely at the welfare of souls-- to edify them and set them aglow with the fire of his charity?
9069What more could they have wanted?
9069What must have been the parting between the child Adeodatus and his mother?
9069What was all that to the prize of wisdom?
9069What was going to become of him in the great, unknown city?
9069What was he going to do?
9069What was he to do?
9069What was not related about the abominations committed in the mysteries of those people?
9069What was the good of keeping up a useless and dangerous resistance?
9069What was the use of giving up the illusory realities of the senses, if it were not to get hold of more_ solid_ realities?
9069What was there to do against brutal strength?
9069What was this refrain?
9069What was to prevent his taking his son and going off?
9069What''s the use?
9069What, in fact, was the most celebrated rhetorician compared to a bishop-- protector of cities, counsellor of emperors, representative of God on earth?
9069What, indeed, was he seeking, unless it were to capture this"blessed life"which he had pursued so long?
9069What, then, would become of evangelic truth if in such a place the Apostle had lied?
9069When a grammarian talked thus, what could have been the thoughts of agricultural labourers, city workmen, and slaves?
9069When shall I appear before His face?"
9069When shall I be as the swallow?
9069When shall I cease to be silent?...
9069Where to place it?
9069Whither lift it up?
9069Who was this friend?
9069Who, then, were these terrible Donatists whom we have been continually striking against since the beginning of this history?
9069Why do not the dying make it their heir?
9069Why does the whiteness of lettuce proclaim to them the Divinity, and the whiteness of cream nothing at all?
9069Why not now?
9069Why not this hour make an end of my vileness?..."
9069Why should he thus put off his return to Africa, he who was so anxious to fly the world?
9069Why?
9069Without him, what was going to become of her?
9069Would he have to go back home?
9069Yes, I say, what are we about?
9069You allow me to pass two summers-- and two African summers!--in such thirst?...
9069_ Non erimus tecum ultra in aeternum?_..."What a dismal sound in these syllables, and how terrifying for a timid soul!
9069is this man, all bloody with a murder in his conscience, to walk about for eight days in white robes as a model of innocence and purity?"
9069was Catholicism to become an African religion, a restricted sect, wretchedly tied to the letter of tradition, to the exterior practices of worship?
43794And do you remember the words,''If thine enemy hunger, feed him...''?
43794And the military regulation, do you know anything about that?
43794Have you read the New Testament?
43794Is it a sin to punish a criminal with death according to the law, or to kill an enemy in war? 43794 No,"he replied,"there is nothing like it; but tell me, do the Christians obey this law?"
43794What does God forbid by this commandment? 43794 What would become of commerce?"
43794Why, then, do they print untrue explanations contrary to the law?
43794Yes; why do you ask?
43794_ For which of you intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost whether he have sufficient to finish it? 43794 _ Judge not_;"does not this mean, Institute no tribunals for the judgment of your neighbor?
43794_ Question._--Is all manslaughter a transgression of the law? 43794 _ Question._--What does the sixth commandment forbid?
43794_ What doth it profit, my brethren, if a man believe he hath faith, but hath not works? 43794 _ Which of you convicteth me of sin?
43794( If no one but the boy had brought anything, how could so much have been left after so many were fed?)
4379429),"_ And who is my neighbor?_"it is plain that he did not regard the Samaritan as such.
43794After this clear interpretation, what was I to understand by the comment,"be reconciled in idea"?
43794Ah, yes; but did not Jesus and his disciples practise just such fanaticism as this?
43794All the theologians discuss the commandments of Jesus; but what are these commandments?
43794And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others?
43794And now is not the question settled as to whether a Christian may or may not go to war?
43794And what if these others were themselves wicked and cast the innocent into prison?
43794And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
43794And yet did this same Jesus formally teach men not to be angry"without a cause,"and thereby sanction anger for a cause?
43794As the words came to be understood exclusively in this sense, a difficulty arose,--How to refrain from judgment?
43794Asked,"Who is this son of man?"
43794Be not angry without cause?
43794But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
43794But in what way?
43794But is it so in reality?
43794But is the disciple of the world in a more desirable situation?
43794But perhaps these two words are used as synonyms in the Gospels?
43794But possibly this existence is in itself attractive?
43794But was his teaching in this respect true?
43794But what is the condition of those men who live according to the doctrine of the world?
43794But where were the righteous?
43794But who is to decide when anger is expedient and when it is not expedient?
43794But who will give me the strength to practise it, to follow it without ceasing, and never to fail?
43794But why is life so full of evil?
43794But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
43794Could anything be more clear, more definite, more intelligible than that?
43794Could the idea be expressed in terms more clear and precise?
43794Did Jesus sanction courts of justice, or did he not?
43794Do they turn the other cheek?"
43794Do you say that the doctrine of Jesus,"_ Resist not evil_,"is vain?
43794Does it not forbid us to take the oath indispensable to the assembling of men into political groups and the formation of a military caste?
43794Even a dog, if he be useful, is fed and cared for; and shall not a man be fed and cared for whose service is necessary to the whole world?
43794Fanaticism, do you say?
43794For a solution of the questions, What am I?
43794For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye?
43794For what, according to the general estimate, are the principal conditions of earthly happiness?
43794Further on we read:--"_ Question._--With regard to manslaughter, when is the law transgressed?
43794Have we never heard that it is far more to our advantage to endure difficulties and privations than to satisfy all our desires?
43794He asked his disciples whom men said that he was-- the son of man?
43794How could Jesus avoid denouncing that law?
43794How could it be said that Jesus did not perceive this evil when he forbade it in clear, direct, and circumstantial terms?
43794How could we express more clearly the saying of Jesus and his apostle?
43794How is it possible that the law of Jesus should harmonize with the law of Moses?
43794How shall I persuade a man to toil in return for food and clothing if this man is persuaded that he already possesses great riches?
43794How then shall I, who can not save, become a judge and punish?
43794How was it then, that believing or trying to believe these to be the words of God, I still maintained the impossibility of obeying them?
43794How, then, can we object to the doctrine of Jesus, that those who practise it by working for others will perish for want of food?
43794How, then, can we understand the doctrine of Jesus?
43794How, then, could a man judge and condemn when his religion commanded him to forgive all trespasses, without limit?
43794I knew all that from my childhood; but why had I failed to understand aright these simple words?
43794If Chrysostom had understood the law of Jesus, he would have said, Who is it that strikes out another''s eyes?
43794If I say truth, why do ye not believe me?_"( John viii.
43794If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
43794In what, then, does the rest of Jesus''doctrine consist?
43794Is it impossible to lighten this heavy load that weighs me down?
43794Is it not the act of a madman to labor at what, under any circumstances, one can never finish?
43794Is it possible that there was not one such?
43794Is my conclusion a foolish one?
43794Is not the whole system like a great prison where each inmate is restricted to association with a few fellow- convicts?
43794It being impossible not to condemn evil, all the commentators discussed the question, What is blamable and what is not blamable?
43794It seemed to me that there must be a defect in the translation, and an erroneous exegesis; but where was the source of the error?
43794Let each man endowed with reason ask himself, What is life?
43794May I not abstain from taking part therein?
43794No civilized man in the vanguard of progress is able to give any reply now to the direct questions,"Why do you lead the life that you do lead?
43794On page 163 of this book I read:--"What is the sixth commandment of God?
43794Or is it to be certain that my piece of bread only belongs to me when I know that every one else has a share, and that no one starves while I eat?
43794Or those eighteen upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
43794Recall to mind the rich men and women whom you have known; are not most of them invalids?
43794Shall not men care for those whose labor they find necessary?
43794Should I die in following the doctrine of Jesus?
43794Should I say this without having made the slightest effort of my own to obey?
43794Should I then say of God''s commandment that I could not obey it without the aid of a supernatural power?
43794Since life is given to me, why should I deprive myself of it?
43794The Church retains its dogmas, but what are its dogmas worth?
43794The Jews said to Jesus:"_ What signs shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee?
43794The Pharisees, we are told, constituted a sect; where, then, were the righteous?
43794There remained one more resource-- was the word to be found in all the manuscripts?
43794This method was many times referred to by Jesus; thus he said,"_ What is written in the law?
43794Thus, the question, What must I do to believe?
43794To Peter''s question,"_ What shall we receive?_"Jesus replies with the parable of the laborers in the vineyard( Matt.
43794To be able to reply to the question, Which of these two conditions is the happier?
43794Up to this time( I said), what have been the practical results of the doctrine of Jesus as I understand it?
43794Upon what, then, is based the opinion that divorce is permissible in case of infidelity on the part of the woman?
43794Was Nicodemus the only one?
43794Was it possible that the doctrine of Jesus admitted of such contradiction?
43794Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son upon the altar?
43794Was not this fire kindled that men might have the felicity of salvation?
43794Was the revelation from God really so simple-- nothing but that?
43794Was this the intention of Jesus?
43794We are moving onward, but to what goal?
43794We know how to interpret the signs of the weather; why, then, do we not see what is before us?
43794We read, and are thrilled with a divine emotion; but which of us is willing to accept the truth here unfolded as the veritable secret of life?
43794What does it all mean?
43794What is the law of nature?
43794What is the meaning of this?
43794What ought I to do, to live like the rest of the world, or to live according to the doctrine of Jesus?
43794What ought I to do?
43794What would be the result if the faith of men in these commandments were as strong as their faith in the requirements of the Church?
43794What, then, are we to do?
43794What, then, are we to say to all this?
43794What, then, is the purport of this phrase?
43794What, then, must I do if I alone understand the doctrine of Jesus, and I alone have trust in it among a people who neither understand it nor obey it?
43794Who were they that rejected the doctrine of Jesus and, their High Priests at their head, crucified him?
43794Why do you abandon agriculture, which you love, for work in factories and mills, which you despise?
43794Why do you bring up your children in a way that will force them to lead an existence which you find worthless?
43794Why do you do this?"
43794Why do you establish the conditions that you do establish?"
43794Why had I always sought for some ulterior meaning?
43794Why have you expended, and why do you still expend, an enormous sum of human energy in the construction of useless and unhealthful cities?
43794Why should I toil for bread when I can be rich without labor?
43794Why should I trouble myself to live this life according to the will of God when I am sure of a personal life for all eternity?
43794Why should not a doctrine seem impracticable, when we have suppressed its fundamental proposition?
43794Why so much wrong- doing?
43794Why so?
43794Why so?
43794Why?
43794Will any one, then, be offended if I tell the story of how all this came about?
43794Would there be great trials to endure?
43794Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
43794Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?_"( Luke xii.
43794[ 14] Is it not folly to trouble ourselves about a thing that we can not possibly accomplish?
43794and What is death?
43794and what degree of mischief would not then come revelling upon the whole of human life?
43794can that faith save him?
43794do not even the publicans so?
43794do not even the publicans the same?
43794how readest thou?_"( Luke x.
43794is his demand if he be a merchant;"What of civilization, if I cease to work for it, and seek only to better my own condition?"
43794what dost thou work?_"( John vi.
43794what ought I to do?
43794who is it that casts men into prison?
43794would not cities, market- places and houses, sea and land, and the whole world have been filled with unnumbered pollutions and murders?
28464But,you may say,"shall evil go unpunished?
28464Did one ever hear of such a thing,they might exclaim,"as children born of God?
28464Oh yes,you say,"but where would we be then?"
28464Who is weak, and I am not weak?
2846420 For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted for it, ye shall take it patiently?
2846420 For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted for it, ye shall take it patiently?
2846421 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
2846422 Are they Hebrews?
2846423 Are they ministers of Christ?
2846424 Know ye not that they that run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize?
2846429 Who is weak, and I am not weak?
2846430 Howbeit what saith the scripture?
2846432. Who revealed to Peter the nature of Christ''s thoughts upon the cross?
2846435 But some one will say, How are the dead raised?
284645 And who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
2846455 O death, where is thy victory?
284646 They therefore, when they were come together, asked him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?
284647 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying, Behold, are not all these that speak Galilæans?
284648 And how hear we, every man in our own language wherein we were born?
284649. Who can prevent our office being vilified?
28464Again, when you see one living in great splendor, in pleasure and presumption, following his own inclinations, think thus:"What has he?
28464And again,"Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a stone?"
28464And it is just and right, for why did we not honor the Gospel by accepting and preserving it?
28464And must this mighty apostle, O merciful God, be subject to trials lest he exalt himself because of his great revelations?
28464And what can it harm me to suffer when I know it is God''s will?
28464And what is the extent of his forgiveness?
28464And who knows but it may, in the Greek, have been altered to harmonize with Galatians 5, 22, where Paul speaks of the"fruit of the Spirit"?
28464And why should we complain?
28464Are they Israelites?
28464Are they the seed of Abraham?
28464Are they to hear his Word?
28464Are we to live utterly idle, practically dead?
28464Are you mad or foolish?"
28464But how are we born?
28464But how are we to flee the world?
28464But how does Paul make this text prove the resurrection of Christ?
28464But how is indifference to this life to be accomplished?
28464But in the case of one who endorses and honors the Gospel, observe Paul''s comment( Rom 14, 4):"Who art thou that judgest the servant of another?
28464But tell me, where do the Scriptures speak thus of Christians?
28464But what are we to do?
28464But what cause has Paul at heart that he dares so boldly condemn the judgment of these exalted officials?
28464But what does Paul teach?
28464But what does the resurrection advantage us?
28464But what is the significance of Paul''s phrase"with grace"?
28464But what is the use of multiplying words on the subject when the evil prevails to such extent as to be common custom in the land?
28464But what manner of love has God manifested toward us?
28464But where is this perfect man, and what is his name?
28464But where would be forthcoming a sermon forcible enough to restrain the shameful sottishness and the drink devil among us?
28464But who can fully portray this blind, perverted, abominable folly?
28464But who is vigilant enough to elude such knavery and to make the children of the devil honest?
28464But who would care to recount the full extent of this vice in all dealings and interests of the world between man and man?
28464But you may say:"What?
28464Can you locate the failure of such an individual?
28464Christ testifies( Jn 5, 44),"How can ye believe, who receive glory one of another, and the glory that cometh from the only God ye seek not?"
28464Could I be said to suffer innocently if I am obliged to confess I am well treated?
28464Dear man, what but his own blindness can lead him to such a conclusion?
28464Did they but regard it, what need have they of books, teachers or laws?
28464Do not even wicked knaves and opposers of Christians often suffer at the hands of one another what they are not pleased to endure?
28464Do you ask, What is the great necessity therefor?
28464Do you imagine yourself able to endure that wrath of God, or to withstand it if you will not consider this and accept it?
28464Do you wish to have assurance of eternal life?
28464For what could they benefit if one possessed not the Word of salvation and eternal life?
28464God says in Isaiah 66, 1- 2:"What manner of house will ye build unto me?...
28464Had he been mere man, what would have been the occasion for saying that he became like a man and was found in the fashion of other men?
28464Has a king of David''s glorious rank occasion to speak thus?
28464He says( 1 Tim 3, 5):"If a man knoweth not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?"
28464How and from what was creation effected when there was nothing to start with?
28464How can it be otherwise when they who should restrain and punish commit the same sins themselves?
28464How can one be under obligation when he does not, and can not, possess anything?
28464How can one whom the fire of heavenly love and grace can not melt, be rendered cheerfully obedient by laws and threats?
28464How can there be unity of mind concerning spiritual offices and blessings with people so at variance upon trivial, contemptible worldly matters?
28464How can these Corinthians be as true, unleavened wafers, or sweet dough, when they have yet to purge out the old leaven?
28464How can they pray one for another who feel no interest in a neighbor''s wants, who rather are enemies, entertaining no good will toward one another?
28464How can we be dead and at the same time risen?
28464How can we live here with wives and children, houses and lands, and being citizens under a temporal government, and yet not be at home?
28464How can we make the two claims harmonize?
28464How could Christ approve such malice?
28464How could he speak plainer and more forcibly?
28464How could he utter anything more severe, more terrifying?
28464How does the offering of a penny compare with that of the body?
28464How else should we gentiles get the idea of cakes on Easter, when at our Passover we, by faith, eat the Paschal Lamb, Christ?
28464How is a dead man profited, however much life may be preached to him, if that preaching does not make him live?
28464How is it consistent with royal citizenship in a celestial country to be a pilgrim on earth?
28464How is it possible to reconcile these seeming inconsistencies?
28464How is it, then, Paul speaks as if faith without love were possible?
28464How is that?
28464How is this paradox to be explained?
28464How shall we who are dead to sin live any longer therein?
28464How should he do otherwise, knowing that his persecutors treated him unjustly and yet maintained the contrary?
28464How will it compare with the death and shed blood of the Son of God, with the power of his resurrection?
28464How will it divide honors with him in having merit to secure remission of sin and redemption from death?
28464How will you fare with God if you do not love your neighbor?
28464How would this read,"I am signified by a spiritual vine"?
28464I will behave peculiarly, smashing windows and turning things upside down, for this is not my abiding- place"?
28464If it is not too humble to be honored with his presence, why should we his servants not honor it?
28464In the text Paul deals with the question, How are the dead raised, and with what body do they come?
28464Is it merely a doctrine of words, or one of life and operating power?
28464Is it not wonderfully comforting to the beggar to have servants and lovers of such honor?
28464Is not this a superior, a noble, commandment, which completely levels the most unequal individuals?
28464Is that what you mean, Paul, when you say we are not to seek the things of earth, though all these are essentially incident to life?
28464Is the truth not to be preached at all?
28464It is said of them( Ps 14, 4- 5):"Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon Jehovah?"
28464Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
28464Must we be silent and permit all mankind to go direct to hell?
28464Now, how could God have pointed you to an example dearer, more pleasing and more to the purpose than this example-- the deep instinct of your nature?
28464Now, how was it with them?
28464Now, if you yield to him, suffering yourself to be seduced, what will it profit you to boast of the Gospel faith?
28464Now, since God has so greatly blessed you as to make you his own begotten children, shall he not also give you every other good?
28464Now, what is the process of the life and death mentioned?
28464Now, who is to judge and decide the question?
28464O death, where is thy sting?
28464One hundred years ago, what were you and I and all men now living but absolutely nothing?
28464Or of what use is it to preach righteousness to a sinner if he remain in sin?
28464Paul would say:"What will you do, beloved Christians?
28464Paul''s admonition begins:"Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?"
28464Shall he be their God?
28464Shall they believe?
28464Similarly, also:"What unto me is the multitude of your sacrifices?
28464Such a course is essential to the honor of God and the salvation of souls; for if the truth were to be ignored, who would come to God?
28464Tell me, what would you think of such a one?
28464The test is, are we risen in Christ-- is his resurrection effective in us?
28464Then how should others, how should such infirm beings as we, be free from self- exaltation?
28464Therefore, James says:"Why trouble yourselves about earthly blessings, which though God- given are transitory?
28464We read in a book of the ancient fathers that on a certain occasion of their assembling, the question was raised, which is really the noblest work?
28464What are death, the devil and all creatures as a match for Christ?
28464What are the means and process the Spirit employs to change and renew the heart?
28464What are we to do?
28464What are we to understand here?
28464What can be said for us?
28464What can it advantage me for them to burn eternally in hell?
28464What can you say to the fact that Christ the Lord is, himself, with us on earth?
28464What greater love and blessing could be shown?
28464What human heart would not melt at the joy- inspiring thought?
28464What injury can the world render, what help can it offer, so long as you hold the treasure of the Word?
28464What is a slight injury or the loss of some temporal blessing in comparison with these?
28464What is meant here?
28464What is the need of further inquiry and investigation or discussion of this theme?
28464What is the sum of all suffering and misfortune compared to this light?
28464What is their theory?
28464What matters to us the insignificance of the seat the Lord chooses?
28464What meaneth this?
28464What more can we do?
28464What more could be desired?
28464What more would one, or could one, offer than himself, all he is and all he has?
28464What shall we say to these things?
28464What sort of foolish, perverted individuals are they who so teach?
28464What would be the result were all evil to be tolerated and covered up?
28464What, according to the world''s construction, is implied by the statement,"Whatsoever is begotten[ born] of God overcometh the world?"
28464What, then, is the teaching of the commandment?
28464Whence, then, do you derive sonship?
28464Where would be the sense in my saying to you,"You are like a man, are made in the fashion of a man, and take upon yourself the form of a servant"?
28464Where would the wealthy and powerful be if there were no poor and humble?
28464Where, then, does Paul stand, who says( Rom 3, 31):"Do we then make the law of none effect through faith?
28464Who could be worthy such service from such a one?
28464Who could or would heap upon himself the guilt of such negligence?
28464Who ever heard of weak strength?
28464Who is so daring and haughty he will not be restrained and humbled by so remarkable an example of divine judgment?
28464Who would have thought to find so much precious virtue and power ascribed by Paul to this one excellence as counterpart of so much that is evil?
28464Who would not shrink from occupying the uppermost seat and from lording it over others when he sees the Son of God humble and eliminate himself?
28464Who would not suppose the Holy Spirit to dwell visibly where such wisdom, such discernment of the Scriptures, is present?
28464Why does he so?
28464Why not much rather rejoice in the comforting prospect of the great heavenly blessings already abundantly yours and which can not be taken from you?"
28464Why should Paul reverse the seemingly proper order?
28464Why, then, did the Jews persecute and crucify him-- put him to death?
28464Why, then, need you take any account of the world, and anything it may do, whether good or evil?
28464Why, then, should I be impatient or desire revenge?
28464Why, then, should you complain of your suffering or refuse to suffer what your sins really deserve?
28464Why, then, yield to the devil, allowing yourself to be robbed of salvation and eternal life?
28464Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and save souls alive for yourselves?
28464Will you live in the world and not encounter any persecution because of your good deeds?
28464Will you rage at the wickedness of the world, and in your rage become wicked yourself and commit evil?
28464Would it not encourage them in their wickedness until life would not be safe to anyone?"
28464Would not that be giving the wicked opportunity to carry out their evil designs?
28464Would not that be the natural rejoinder to such a foolish statement?
28464Yes, and have we not further reason for checking the evil when even the young practice it without fear or shame?
28464Yes, what would be his judgment of those who in public preaching clinch and claw, attack and calumniate each other?
28464and that he assumed the form of a servant though he was in form divine?
28464and with what manner of body do they come?
28464or more absurd still, that strength is increased by weakness?
28464or to an erring, factious individual if he forsake not his error and his darkness?
28464or to have instruction enabling me rightly to interpret a single psalm?
28464that to his sores and wounds are subject the crown of wealth and the sweet savor of royal splendor?
28464who is caused to stumble, and I burn not?
28464wonderful that his poverty commands the services of a king in his opulence?
20731But,you say,"how shall I_ know_ I have this power?"
20731Could I see him?
20731Deny himself--what does that mean?
20731Does the preacher from up the north way stop here?
20731Hmm-- does our law judge a man without giving him a fair hearing?
20731How are you getting along?
20731Is that so? 20731 Let me see, did you subtract that...?"
20731What''s the matter?
20731Would you like to go back the earth and win him?
20731_ Take up his cross_--what does that mean?
20731A harvest of the fruit of the spirit-- love, joy, peace, long- suffering; a harvest of souls?
20731After all the home- life comes close to being the real test of power, does it not?
20731And ability?
20731And so I thought I would just ask the friends here to- day very frankly,"What kind of Christians are you?"
20731And some kind friend told you not to wait for feeling, but to trust, and that when you did that, the light came?
20731And what is force?
20731And yet what more natural and proper, both for him and for us?
20731And you hesitate?
20731Are their names clear to your minds?
20731Are you conscious of the fullness of His love and power-- conscious enough to know how much there is beyond of which you are not conscious?
20731Are you thirsty?
20731Are you thirsty?
20731Are you?
20731As he entered the house he met the minister in charge of the mission church, where the family attended, and asked him,"Was Mary a christian?"
20731As we walked along, chatting away, I asked him quietly,"Are you a christian, sir?"
20731Ask any mother here: Would you not gladly suffer pain in place of your child suffering if you could?
20731But I ask you frankly, honestly now, as I ask myself anew, what kind are you?
20731But a true follower of Jesus never lives down upon the plane of"what''s- the- harm?"
20731But he thought he met the Master, who looked into his face, and said,"Hugh, do you remember, I asked you to speak to Dutchy?"
20731But how may one know surely about the wrong thing?
20731But is it not the true word here?
20731But is it not true?
20731But near by sits a burly Pharisee, who turns sharply around and, glaring savagely at Nicodemus, says sneeringly:"Who are you?
20731But perhaps some one is saying,"Have not we all received the Holy Spirit if we are christians?"
20731But someone asks,"How shall I know what-- whom, to obey?
20731But they are less important than this other question: Where are they as touching_ Him_?
20731But to- night the great question is: Have you turned the channel of power-- your personality-- over to Him to be flushed and flooded with His power?
20731But when I had studied and read them repeatedly I found myself asking-- what is life?
20731But you say,"Is that all?"
20731But_ do_ we understand it in our_ experience_?
20731Can you think of such persons in your own circle?
20731Can you?
20731Could a more unlikely person have been used?
20731Did he say that?
20731Did it not?
20731Do some of us still hesitate at this forking of the roads, irresolute?
20731Do they not?
20731Do we not_ know_ enough now?"
20731Do you come from Galilee, too?
20731Do you know if that describes you?
20731Do you know the peculiar delight there is in winning the fellow by your side, the girl in your social circle, to Jesus Christ?
20731Do you know?
20731Do you love this Book like that?
20731Do you recognize the individual inside of you that Jesus is speaking of?
20731Do you remember his"fruit of the Spirit"?
20731Do you remember saying something like that when you were urged to take Jesus as your Savior?
20731Do you remember that heart- to- heart talk that Jesus had with the eleven disciples that last night they spent together in the upper room?
20731Do you remember that wondrous Olivet scene?
20731Do you think his eyes are dull, or his cheeks hollow and pale?
20731Do you think not?
20731Do you?
20731Do you_ know_ what kind of a christian you are?
20731Do_ we_ know?
20731Do_ you_ know?
20731Do_ you_ know?
20731Does it not too bring one yet nearer to Him?
20731Does n''t it seem queer?
20731Does that not parallel remarkably the wilderness experience?
20731Does that sound rather hard?
20731Does the Holy Spirit have freeness of sway in you?
20731For some hidden selfish purpose, like Simon of Samaria, of which you are perhaps only half conscious, so subtly does it lurk underneath?
20731For the rare enjoyment of ecstatic moods?
20731Has He been able to do that with you?
20731Has He not done His best?
20731Has He tried to use you_ like that_?
20731Has prayer become to you like that?
20731Has there been a flood- tide in your heart, a filling up from above until the blessed stream had to find an outlet somewhere, and produce a harvest?
20731Has there been a harvest in your life?
20731Have you ever seen a flood?
20731Have you noticed how Jesus Himself puts His ideal for the day- by- day life?
20731Have you noticed that the old earth receives a fresh baptism of life daily?
20731Have you sometimes wished you could have a few minutes of quiet talk with Jesus?
20731Have you turned your personality over to Him as completely as that?
20731He asks:"Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed?"
20731How do you know_ any_thing?
20731How may one who has been willing to go thus far in these talks go a step further and have power in actual_ conscious_ possession?
20731How often has He turned away disappointed because the channel had broken connections, or could not be used?
20731How shall we have power, abundant, life- giving, sweetening our own lives, and changing those we touch?
20731I am going to wait a few moments in silence while you recall them to mind, if you will-- Can you see their faces?
20731I wonder if the Master has ever tried to use your lips like that, and you have refused?
20731I wonder what we do do?
20731I wonder what you and I would have done?
20731If He waited for that experience before venturing upon any service, shall not you and I?
20731If there is_ one_ person here to- night who ever had such a conception, will you kindly cut it out of your imagination at once?
20731If you are not thirsty for the Master''s power, are you thirsty to be made thirsty?
20731If_ they_ needed such a command, do not we?
20731In actual experience the reverse of this is, shall I say too much if I say,_ most commonly_ the case?
20731Is it attractive because of the power in it of_ His_ presence?
20731Is it hard to tell why?
20731Is it my own preference or enjoyment?
20731Is not that a terrific arraignment?
20731Is not that startling?
20731Is not that woman another illustration of that name Comforter?
20731Is not that wonderful?
20731Is not this glorious unity in diversity?
20731Is that mere rhetoric?
20731Is that so with you?
20731Is that so?
20731Is that the kind_ you_ are?
20731Is that the one purpose in your heart in desiring power?
20731Is that the reason you have so little power with God, and for God?
20731Is that the sort of christian_ you_ are?
20731Is there a growing up of those four things within you by His grace?
20731Is there a yearning down in your heart for something you have not?
20731Is there still a fixed purpose to follow Jesus without regard to what it may cost us, or where the keen edge of separation may cut in?
20731Is there still a fixed purpose?
20731Is there still a_ fixed purpose_ to follow regardless of what meaning these words may yet disclose?
20731Is there still some need in your life for the other desirable traits?
20731It has an interrogation point constantly on sentinel duty, namely, What will_ they_ think?
20731Let me ask if He, very God of very God, yet in His earthly life intensely human, needed that anointing, do not we?
20731Let me ask very reverently, but very plainly: Is it God''s fault?
20731Let me ask you-- Are you thirsty for power?
20731Let me ask you-- what is power?
20731Let me ask: Does that describe your friends?
20731Let me ask: Is_ He_ to blame?
20731Like this racing, turbulent, muddy Jordan?
20731May I ask you very kindly, but very plainly, are you like that?
20731May I ask, have you any personal acquaintance with some of these qualities?
20731May we take just another look at that name--_The Comforter_--as we close our talk together?
20731My friend, have you received this promised power?
20731My friend, will you ask your heart, has the Holy Spirit gotten possession of you like that?
20731No?
20731Now I ask you:_ Who_ is to blame?
20731Now let me ask very frankly why have we not all such power for our Master as she?
20731Now why take so much time speaking about all that?
20731Now why take time to speak about these things to- night when we are talking about power?
20731Or, have you been holding back from Him, fearing He might make some changes in you or your plans?
20731Or, is it to please and honor Jesus?
20731Or, this-- to the right?
20731Pastors do not all agree: churches are not quite agreed on some matters: my best friends think differently: how shall I know?"
20731Perhaps some one would say,"Just what do you mean?"
20731Shall I use a plainer, though uglier, word-- his cowardice?
20731Shall we bow in silence a few moments and settle the matter, each of us, with the Master direct?
20731Shall we bow our heads and offer that prayer, and hew close to that line, steadily, faithfully?
20731Shall we not go along with Him?
20731Shall we take these keys, and this key- ring and use them faithfully?
20731That you may be able to move men?
20731They have all become christians?"
20731This purpose: of asking you one question-- whose fault is it?
20731WHEREIN HAVE WE ROBBED GOD?
20731Was not that a real practical presence of the great God with them all those days?
20731Was there ever such a list?
20731We were talking one day about this very thing and I recall saying:"Do you really believe that what the Bible says about these people can be true?
20731Well, I guess it describes us all, does it not?
20731What are some of the cross- currents that threaten to draw the power of the feed- wire?
20731What do they mean?
20731What does he do?
20731What is affection?
20731What is energy?
20731What is life?
20731What is light?
20731What is love?
20731What is power?
20731What is the first great essential?
20731What is the plan for that?
20731What is the price of power?
20731What is this self in each of us that Jesus sets in such antagonism to Himself, and instructs us to say a hard, uncompromising, unceasing"no"to?
20731What is your life weaving out?
20731What will_ they_ say?
20731What would you expect of a friend of Jesus under such circumstances?
20731What_ was_ Jesus''mission?
20731When, one morning as thousands of heads peep out, the cloud is seen to have lifted up from over the tent, the next question was-- which direction?
20731Where are these four friends?
20731Where are they as regards the best life here, and the longer life beyond this one?
20731Where did you get that marvelous mother- heart and mother- love?
20731Which road do you choose to- night: this-- to the left?
20731Who is there here that has continued in all the words of the book of this law to do them?
20731Who is to blame?
20731Why not?
20731Why then do not the refreshing waters come rushing down?
20731Why?
20731Will some one give a simple definition of that word?
20731Will some one tell me?
20731Will you observe for a moment the rhetorical figure here?
20731Will you please call to mind that original Pentecost company?
20731Will you please remember that"grieve"is always a love word?
20731Will you please take a look at Lazarus as he steps from the tomb?
20731Will you put Jesus on the throne?
20731Will you recall again the Master''s good- bye Olivet message, and notice just what it means?
20731Will you remember, and keep constantly in mind, the actual meaning of that new name?
20731Will you take this right fork?
20731Will you?
20731With what result?
20731Would n''t she try that before giving them up?
20731Would you care to have a flood- tide of love flush the channelways of your life like that?
20731Would you go_ after Him_?
20731Would you have it so?
20731Would you have it so?
20731Would you have such an intense passion as that, thrilling your heart, and inspiring your life, and know how to do it skillfully and tactfully?
20731Would you have us go out and begin speaking to everyone we meet?"
20731Would you imagine he had such a gentle voice?
20731Would you know the secret of a life marked by the strange beauty of humility, and fragrant with the odor of_ His_ presence?
20731Would you like to?
20731Would you not expect His forerunner to understand it?
20731You remember God put His hand upon Cain''s arm, and, looking into his face, said:"Where is Abel, thy brother?"
20731[ 20] What results then may be expected to follow the filling of the Holy Spirit?
20731[ Transcriber''s Note C: Original had"weckage"] Will you_ in the purpose of your heart_ make Jesus absolute monarch whatever that may prove to mean?
20731_ It takes power_ to be gracious and strong, and patient and tender, and cheery, in the commonplace things, and the commonplace places, does it not?
20731_ Why_ do you want power?
20731_ Why_ is there such a lack of power in our lives?
20731can you guess, my friend, Where the influence reaches and where it will end Of the hours that you frittered away?
22400A review of our trip to, and adventures in, Ava, often, excites the inquiry, Why were we permitted to go? 22400 Ah?"
22400And is he contented there?
22400Are you a catholic?
22400Are you a protestant?
22400But have the saints,said they,"no intercession, and is it vain to worship them, and pray to them?"
22400But how do you prove it necessary,said I,"that the pope should not err?
22400But,said Galed,"if any one were disposed to take your life, could they not do it as well here, as at home?"
22400But,said I,"is every one English, if he_ reasons_ on that subject?"
22400Do you know what Mansoor has told me?
22400How is that?
22400It is the duty of every person to possess the gospel, and read it?
22400True,replied he,"and where would be the difficulty in that?
22400Was he handled as cruelly as he is here pictured?
22400Well, is not God able to render him so?
22400What then?
22400What,replied Asaad,"must I go and live like a_ dumb_ man?
22400What,said he"the_ English_ among the rest?"
22400Who is thy father?
22400Why do ye transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
22400Why do you not go,said they,"to the Druses, and the Moslems, and preach the gospel to them?
22400Will every one, then, who reads the gospel, be saved?
22400Wretch, were these the means you promised to furnish?
22400''Have you not deposited silver with some person of your acquaintance?''
22400''My acquaintances are all in prison, with whom should I deposit silver?
22400''The king does as he pleases,''said she;''I am not the king, what can I do?''
22400''Where is the teacher?''
22400''Where is your silver, gold, and jewels?''
22400--"But,"said they,"is every thing then, worthless, that has been ordained by the councils and the fathers?"
22400--"Is it possible?"
22400After urging him, day after day, to no purpose, they finally asked in despair,"Are you then still of the same sentiment?"
22400Allowing that I do take the Bible as my only and sufficient guide to heaven, what sin is there in this?"
22400And again, Wherein shall a young man direct his way, but by the word of God?
22400And as for your Latin service, what are we of the laity the better for it?
22400And here I wish to say a word to every reader that regards and loves the truth; how does such doctrine appear to you?
22400And how long wilt thou suffer the tyranny of these men?"
22400And if the Lord is for me, of whom should I be afraid?
22400And then, kneeling down, she turned to Feckenham, saying, Shall I say this psalm?
22400And who so likely to be spies, as the Englishmen residing at Ava?
22400Are you Asaad?"
22400As he was almost expiring, they cried to him, Will you call upon the saints?
22400Asaad replied,"For what reason?
22400Asaad,--"Why do you kiss the cross, and who has commanded it?"
22400At the same village, one of a party doubting whether M. Hermet, a tailor, was the man they wanted, asked,"Is he a protestant?"
22400Being before the bishop of London, Dr. Barnes was asked whether the saints prayed for us?
22400But for the upholding of your church and religion, what antiquity can you show?
22400But how chanceth it that thou wentest away from thy husband?
22400But if I should be afraid of your lordly looks, why fear ye not God, the Lord of us all?
22400But if you say_ no_, and that we_ must_ go to the pope, what must become of the man who dies before the answer of the pope can reach him?"
22400But pray, says she, was Don Francisco very obliging?
22400But shall they be condemned without mercy for not acting up to principles which were unacknowledged and unknown throughout the whole of christendom?
22400But this is all the silver you have?''
22400But where is the place of the church?
22400But why are those words,"This is my body,"to be taken in a literal sense, any more than those concerning the cup?
22400But why, said I, did not divisions and contentions arise among the apostles?
22400Can these passages be taken literally?
22400Can you not wait upon me in a few days?''
22400Come, brother Rogers, said Dr. Hooper, must we two take this matter first in hand, and begin to fry in these fagots?
22400Do you not altogether act against God?
22400Do you not destroy your souls, when you teach the people to worship idols, stocks and stones, the works of men''s hands?
22400Do you not do a thousand more abominations?
22400Do you not make holy water and holy bread to fray devils?
22400Do you not teach us to pray upon beads, and to pray unto saints, and say they can pray for us?
22400Do you really intend to send some assassin to take my life in my room?"
22400For the truth at one glance assured me, that if the queen refused assistance, who would dare to intercede for me?
22400H._ What did he break?
22400H._ What did he take?
22400H._ What was that?
22400Harpsfield._ Christ called the bread his body; what dost thou say it is?
22400He asked me, What is the church?
22400He had, however, not proceeded far, when one of the patriarch''s men discovered him, and called out,"Asaad is it you?"
22400He has issued to all denominations a proclamation full of lies against you, and what have you been able to do?
22400He has known how to manage these mountains for forty years, and do you think he would be at a loss about such a trifle as this?
22400He said,"What do you wish to do?"
22400He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for me, will he not with him freely give me all things?
22400He then resorted to another mode of proof, saying,"Is it not desirable that the pope should be infallible?"
22400He was terribly mangled, but not quite killed by the fall; at which time the viceroy passing by, said, is the dog yet living?
22400His wife, who sat by his side, and who always, from this time, continued my firm friend, instantly said,''Very true-- what else could she have said?
22400His words were,"O miserable and blind guides, will ye ever be blind leaders of the blind?
22400How can ye believe who receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour which comes from God only?
22400How long shall darkness overwhelm this realm?
22400How provest thou that?
22400I ask, then, by whom have we been protected, and delivered unto this day?
22400I asked him if this pretension of the pope was that of an apostle, or a prophet?
22400I asked one of them"Where is Asaad Shidiak at present?"
22400I pray you in what school have you been brought up?
22400I said to the patriarch,"Have you not perfect confidence in the integrity of the priest Gabriel?"
22400I said,"Well, what would you have me to do, and what will you do with me?
22400I said,"What do you wish of me, your reverence?
22400I smiled in a pleasant manner at all this, and when one asked me, why I laughed?
22400I waited not for the usual question to a suppliant,''What do you want?''
22400If he be to be worshipped in spirit and in truth, why do you worship a piece of bread?
22400If he did not offer his body once for all, why make you a new offering?
22400If so, let me know where I shall go, what I shall do?
22400If so, why does not the pope speak with tongues; and why is he not secure from the evil effects of poison,& c.?
22400If with one offering he made all perfect, why do you with a false offering make all imperfect?
22400Is it not sufficient if any one has doubts, to ask his teacher who is not infallible?
22400Is it suitable that you should take it?
22400Is it true?
22400Is not what has passed enough?"
22400Is your house more secure than the convent of the patriarch, or the palace of the emir?
22400It is unjust then, to''press upon one poor persecuted sect, the sins of all christendom?''
22400Look in the text that followeth; did not Christ say,"Do this in remembrance of me?"
22400Of what avail are such pretensions in one who is in the broad way to perdition?"
22400On the way, Verianus and Marcellinus said,"Where are you carrying the innocent?"
22400One individual spoke boldly in favour of Asaad, saying,"Why should he not leave you?
22400Or by the other guards appointed to appease riots and defend the law?
22400Or do you think that if I once get out among you, the air of Hadet will change my opinions, or induce me to be silent?
22400Perrier one day returned from market in a serious mood; and after some inquiries from his guest, he replied,"Why do you complain?
22400Shall we let you go forth to corrupt my flock for me?
22400Shall we take them, or let them remain?''
22400The Doctor was soon out of humour at his replies, called him peevish boy, and asked him if he thought he went about to damn his soul?
22400The emir promised to interfere--"But why,"said he,"should Asaad go and join the English?
22400The first words of your brother were,''Why have you come?
22400The judge told him the only alternatives were, recantation or death; and concluded by saying,"Will you die for the faith you profess?"
22400The maid asked him if he was cold?
22400The next day the two Jesuits returned, and putting on a very grave supercilious air, the superior asked him, what resolution he had taken?
22400The pasha would send the application to the emir, and do you not think the emir would arrange the affair as he pleased?
22400The princess of Orange, observing that the assassin spoke with a hollow and confused voice, asked who he was?
22400Then said Dr. Taylor, O friend, I have harm enough, what needed that?
22400Then said the keeper,"Are you resolved to stand to your religion?"
22400Then she kneeled down, saying, Will you take it off before I lay me down?
22400Then she tied a handkerchief about her eyes, and feeling for the block, she said, What shall I do?
22400These various afflictions may serve to reconcile us to an humble state; for of what happiness could this great and good man boast?
22400They have never done any thing to deserve such treatment; and is it right they should be treated thus?''
22400They then commenced by asking me questions; the first question was, in amount, this,"Has the Messiah given us a new law?"
22400They were contemptuously asked, in what part of the sacred volume had they found the worship of the Virgin, of the Saints, or of the Host?
22400Those who attended him, appearing as though they were ignorant of all, came and asked him where he had been?
22400To all this Asaad replied,"To what purpose would it be, that I should go home?
22400To which she replied, What profit ariseth by you, that teach nothing but lies for truth?
22400Upon entering Smithfield the ground was so muddy, that two officers offered to carry him to the stake, but he replied,"Would you make me a pope?
22400Was it by magistrates, judges, and police officers?
22400Were they not all infallible as well as Peter?
22400What crime has he committed to deserve such additional punishment?
22400What do you wish me to do for you, for I can not remain here in idleness?"
22400What evil had I done?
22400What good has been effected?
22400What had he here to do?
22400What had he to enjoy?
22400What have I done against you?
22400What have I done, and what would you have me do?
22400What have I done?
22400What inducement had he to remain here?
22400What is my crime?
22400What is my sin, except that I conversed with some individuals, shewing them the errors of the church of Rome?"
22400What must I do, said I, to obtain a mitigation of the present sufferings of the two teachers?
22400What shall I do?"
22400What trustee?
22400What unity was in your church, when there were three popes at once?
22400When he saw their anger, he cried out,"Why are you enraged at me, and what are you about to do to me?
22400When he was brought to examination, this question was put to him: Will you renounce your doctrines?
22400When they heard this, they fell to beating him anew saying,"Have we need of your preaching, thou deceiver?
22400When, said he, will the proud priest of Rome grant indulgences to mankind to live in peace and charity, as he now does to fight and slay one another?"
22400Where is it?
22400Where is it?
22400Where was your head of unity when you had a woman pope?"
22400Whither then may I go, or whither may I flee?
22400Who could be found to fill his place?
22400Why did I not listen to the advice of friends in Bengal, and remain there till the war was concluded?
22400Why should he not leave you?"
22400Why would you murder me for nothing?
22400Will you pray to the saints?
22400Will you then debar me, said I, from my home?
22400_ B._ O foolish woman, who will waste his breath upon thee, or such as thou art?
22400_ B._ The true church, what dost thou mean?
22400_ B._ Who persecuted thee?
22400_ P._--"Well, is it altered in any place?"
22400_ Phares._--"Yes, and from whom is the Bible?
22400_ Priest._ Did not Martin Luther seduce you both?
22400_ Priest._ Do you believe in the writings of the fathers, and the decrees of the councils?
22400_ Priest._ How came you to quit the bosom of the church of Rome?
22400_ Priest._ In what do you believe?
22400_ Priest._ Were you not both, some years ago, Augustine friars?
22400and how could I believe in all which the Romish church holds, without_ knowing_ all of it?
22400and how could I say, without a lie, that I believe, when I do not believe?
22400and say you make God, and sacrifice him, when Christ''s body was a sacrifice once for all?
22400and that there is a purgatory, when God''s Son hath by his passion purged all?
22400and to worship a false God of your own making of a piece of bread, and teach that the pope is God''s vicar, and hath power to forgive sins?
22400and where is the use of it?"
22400can not you, after the death of this, have a much worthier husband?"
22400exclaimed I, must I sacrifice my honour to my fears, and give up my virtue to his despotic power?
22400have you stopped the execution for ever?"
22400how save you souls, when you preach nothing but lies, and destroy souls?
22400is it done?''
22400is it from the English, or from God?"
22400knowest thou not who I am?
22400no mention of St. Bartholomew''s massacre?''
22400said Elizabeth,"what do you mean?
22400shall we seek him here?
22400what can I do?
22400what is the meaning of the dry pan and gradual fire?
22400where was the command to imprison, torture, and slay men for their difference of opinion with an Italian priest and the college of cardinals?
22400where was the privilege that conferred Saintship at the hands of the pope?
22400where was the prohibition of the general use of scripture by every man who had a soul to be saved?
22400where was the revelation of that purgatory, from which a monk and a mass could extract a sinner?
22400who would venture since the invincible Bandoola had been cut off?
22400will neither God''s threats nor promises enter into your hearts?
22400will the blood of the martyrs nothing mollify your stony stomachs?
22400will ye never amend?
22400will ye never see the truth of God''s word?
22400will you go to mass?
22400would you have me send her quick to the devil in her error?"
22400xvii, 18?
36572And Jehovah said, Doest thou well to be angry?
36572Are you sure you can see it?
36572Did I not tell you,I replied,"that you would believe it?
36572Do you feel that He saves you now?
36572Do you think this war is a fulfillment of Bible prophecy?
36572For know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 36572 For who among men knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of the man, which is in him?
36572How can a person know beforehand,I reasoned,"that he will feel at peace with God at the moment the question is asked?"
36572If I were to saw the table leg off, would I hurt God?
36572In the logs of the walls?
36572In the sky?
36572In the table leg?
36572In this house?
36572Is n''t this a beautiful world?
36572Know ye not that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit?
36572Moreover,I said,"how do you know what Christianity has accomplished?
36572Recall, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent?
36572Should not the multitude of words be answered? 36572 Then why does God not show Himself?
36572Then why does God not show Himself?
36572Well, would n''t it be nice to pray a little?
36572Well,I asked,"can you see my love?"
36572What does God do all day?
36572What does God do all day?
36572What is that?
36572What,said he,"do n''t you believe the Bible?"
36572Who made it?
36572Why in the name of conscience,I thought,"do we permit anyone in our churches to retain such detrimental and absurd ideas?"
36572Why, then,some may ask,"does God combine His energies to form a poisonous rattlesnake?"
36572Why,I asked,"should you hesitate to think of Jesus as God and man?
36572Would n''t it be strange if I just went forward to- night without any regard to my feelings?
36572You do n''t like to talk to God?
36572( Then to the boys)"Did I poke him?
365722. Who is God?
365722. Who is man?

3657275 2. Who is man?
3657290 CHAPTER IV DOES GOD HAVE A BODY, AND COULD HE BECOME A MAN?
36572A third voice,"_ Now_ where are we!--do we believe, or do we not believe that God is in all nature?"
36572And at last out of the awful whirlwind God speaks:"Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?"
36572And how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a mighty wind?"
36572And if the departed are living in our universe and not in a vacuum, what could have prevented them from achieving such a glorious result?
36572And if there is a way, what finer goal is possible, than that such a union between God and every man be consummated?
36572And once more devout men exclaimed with awe,"Is this what the good God made for us by the mere fiat of His will?"
36572And yet, some will ask,"Where was God?"
36572As I sat there the thought came to me,"When are you going to get religion?"
36572As I stood there gazing into the sky my mind said,"Why does God not show Himself?"
36572Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?"
36572But being in a state of torment, how could I claim peace with God?
36572But in shutting God out of railroad corporations, what are we doing?
36572But unless we know the problems of suffering souls, how are we to solve them?
36572But what about the forbidden fruit?
36572But what should we think of a minister to- day who began his sermon with a similar description of the majesty and glory of God?
36572But when a friend expostulated,"Pat, do n''t you know that your stone wall will upset if you build it on that swampy ground?"
36572But who can withhold himself from speaking?"
36572By what power does one determine that the person with whom he communes is himself?
36572By"now"do they not mean something more general; to- night, for example?

36572CHAPTER VI FINDING THE SENSE OF IMMORTALITY How shall we find the assurance of immortality?
36572CHAPTER VII WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE WHETHER WE BELIEVE IN IMMORTALITY IF WE LIVE AS WE SHOULD IN THIS LIFE?
36572CHAPTER VIII HOW SHALL WE CONCEIVE OF THE FUTURE LIFE?
36572Can God die?
36572Can God die?
36572Can modern psychology any longer believe in the Deity of Jesus?
36572Can modern psychology any longer believe in the Deity of Jesus?
36572Can we have a pure soul and an unclean body?
36572Can we have an honest heart and a pilfering hand?
36572Can you send forth the lightning, can you draw out old leviathan with a fish hook?
36572Can you thunder, Job?
36572Coming one day from a poor family''s home across the street, my little son said:"Papa, does Mr. R. love the Lord?"
36572Did I believe that He came to save me, and that He wanted to save me now?
36572Do they suppose that it is easier to make the freshman class in heaven than it is to make the freshman class in college?
36572Does God care for these myriad blossoms of his universe?
36572Does He have an abode, or is He a sort of spiritual ether that pervades the universe?"
36572Even among practical electricians, how many could answer more than the simplest questions?
36572From our present meager knowledge of the universe, what kind of a city would be possible if all the laws and resources of nature were fully utilized?
36572Giving my knee a hard shove, he said:"This is n''t papa, is it?
36572Had I in that act of denial become a"backslider,"and was it necessary for me to be converted again?
36572Has the earth had its last war?
36572Have we, then, no facts on which to build a rational conception of the future state?
36572Have you looked, and staggered before the limitless heavens?"
36572Having witnessed with amazement his great dexterity, these thoughts occurred to me:"I wonder what he is like when he talks?
36572How can one live as he should if he eliminates God and His plans?
36572How can one live as he should?
36572How can one live as he should?
36572How could I know but this was the road over which I was being led to the light?
36572How is this possible, unless there is something in a man''s individual experience that resembles society?
36572How many good cooks are there who could chemically analyze the food which they have prepared for their families?
36572How may one find the Word of God, contained in the Scriptures?
36572How shall we find the treasure that is in the Bible?
36572How strangely, therefore, it would sound to ask: Does a man have a child of God?
36572How_ can_ any one believe in God and not believe in immortality?
36572I inquired,"In a part of my body, or in all of it?
36572I knew that candidates were expected to answer the question,"Have you found God in the pardon of your sins, and do you now have peace with God?"
36572I touched him on the forehead and said,''Are you there?''
36572I touched him on the knee,''Are you there?''
36572I touched him on the shoulder,''Are you there?''
36572If A and B were lifting an object, would it be truthful to say that A was lifting it?
36572If He intended to crush us before we were fairly started why did He ever raise us to such hope by allowing us to see the infinite possibilities?
36572If confronted with the old phrases would I not argue, and might I not confirm myself in a possible error?
36572If he has children how do they feel toward him?
36572If he is married what does his wife think of him?
36572If the Ancients made their gods, how do we know that we are not making our God?
36572If the Ancients made their gods, how do we know that we are not making our God?
36572If the ingenious and infernal methods of torture, invented by Rome, present a picture difficult to read, what must the reality have been to bear?
36572If the reader asks"What does all this amount to for us?"
36572If we eliminate the thought of His family, what wisdom is there in anything God has made?
36572Immediately, I asked,"Where is God?"
36572In the autumn of nineteen hundred and fourteen, a friend said to me:"What_ is_ there, I should like to know, in Christianity?
36572Is God"The Allness of things about us?"
36572Is it possible to form any conception of heaven that is not offensive to the intelligent mind?
36572Is not socialism the best religion there is?
36572Is not socialism the best religion there is?
36572Is this history?
36572It is wonderful to him now, I know, but how will he feel to- morrow, or next week, or in six months?"
36572Its relation to the present constitution of things Granting that there is a future existence, are we not wholly in the dark as to what it is like?
36572Jesus said,"He that hath seen me hath seen the Father; how sayest thou, show us the Father?
36572Job,"Canst thou bind the cluster of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?"
36572May we not be communing with a mere idea?
36572May we not be communing with a mere idea?
36572Now Jonah,"Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd?"
36572Now, could her heart be right and her body wrong?
36572Now, what did my sisters mean by this information; did they intend to convey the idea that our mother had become extinct?
36572Now, what do you think my dear old saint said?
36572Now, who ever heard of such a childish thing as a limited infinite?
36572Oh, is n''t it strange that He hides forever?"
36572One might as well ask,"What could a horticulturist care for the little blossoms on his apple trees?"
36572Or if he is a single man, what would I think if he should wish to marry my daughter?"
36572Shall we meet our loved ones?
36572Shall we meet our loved ones?
36572Shall we see God?
36572Shall we see God?
36572Should He not settle so great a question beyond all argument?
36572So in our day many languid souls ask,"Where is thy God, and who knows whether there is a life beyond?"
36572So to the question,"Where is God?"
36572So what is the use of trying to make out that the Bible always harmonizes with science, when it is absolutely certain that it does not?
36572Some may say,"this is nothing but the way_ you_ see things, why not give us something more?"
36572Some one suggested,"If He is in strawberry shortcake, is He likewise in the garbage can?"
36572Some say,"What difference does it make whether we believe in immortality, if we live as we should in this life?"
36572Someone may say,"Is not this upsetting our old Bible?"
36572Standing as many of us do on the threshold of these greater possibilities, who but a devil could shut the door in our faces?
36572Still, they retain a measure of sympathy, for Eliphaz asks with great delicacy:"If one assays to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved?
36572The Book of Revelation 250 WHAT AND WHERE IS GOD?
36572The difference in personal preparation 186 CHAPTER VIII HOW SHALL WE CONCEIVE OF THE FUTURE LIFE?
36572The only remaining question was the old one,"Is there a God?"
36572The reader may ask,"Is it possible to find in the Bible that which nothing could induce us to relinquish,--something more precious than life itself?"
36572The reverse question, however, is perfectly fitting: Does a child of God have a body?
36572The story of Creation What message of permanent religious value is there in the story of creation?
36572The world I know, and its activities I behold, but where is God?
36572Then how much more rapidly may we realize this process of enlargement under the new conditions to which we are going?
36572Then it cried,"Why did God kill my brother at this little nick of time when I was hoping to bring him to Christ?
36572Then looking up with a smile, he asked,"Do you know what I was doing?"
36572Then the thought forced itself upon me,"What would God be like if He were to talk?
36572Then the thought occurred to me,"Where is God?"
36572This causes Bildad to respond with alacrity:"How long wilt thou speak these things?
36572This was followed by another,"Would n''t it be strange if I went to the mourner''s bench to- night?"
36572To the question,"What is God?"
36572WHAT AND WHERE IS GOD?
36572Was Jesus God or a good man only?
36572Was Jesus God or a good man only?
36572Was it not safer to fight it out with God, if He existed, than to argue with those who could not feel what I had felt?
36572Was there ever anything like this?
36572What could an infinite God care for such a little speck?
36572What could an infinite God care for such a little speck?
36572What difference can it make?"
36572What difference did it make-- he and his men surely did some good work?
36572What does God do?
36572What does God do?
36572What does God_ do_?
36572What good would it do me anyway, was what they wanted to know, since I was already good in"figgers"?
36572What hope then is there for benighted peoples where there is neither salt nor leaven?
36572What is God?
36572What is God?
36572What is man?
36572What is man?
36572What is the world, and what is God?
36572What kind of a person should we find Him to be if He walked our streets, and engaged in business, and sat at the table as one of the family circle?"
36572What oratorical genius could_ invent_ a Gettysburg speech?
36572What would it amount to if there were not those who could take nature apart and recombine it to infinity for His glory and their happiness?
36572When does God act, and when does the universe act?
36572Whence came it?
36572Where does Jesus belong in the religious, social and thought worlds?
36572Where does Jesus belong in the religious, social and thought worlds?
36572Where is God?
36572Where is God?
36572Where is heaven?
36572Where is heaven?
36572Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?
36572Who could wish to be a mad god living alone through eternity in a graveyard?
36572Why are n''t figures good enough?"
36572Why do they not go to the experts?
36572Why had God left us to argue and reason about His existence?
36572Why is the engine put on the track at all unless it is to go somewhere?
36572Why should God create a chemical world unless He had chemists in mind?
36572Why then should we say that Jesus was only a good man, when the body was God''s very own, and the guiding will was that of the Father?
36572Why, then, did He not do so?
36572Why_ did_ He take him?"
36572Will there be a Holy City?
36572Will there be a Holy City?
36572Will there be burdens to bear in heaven?
36572Will there be burdens to bear in heaven?
36572Will there be music?
36572Will there be music?
36572Would I care to be a minister?
36572Would it be right for me under the circumstances to appear for examination?
36572Would the absence of man cripple God?
36572Would the absence of man cripple God?
36572Would they not be squarely in each other''s way much of the time?
36572Yet we grow weary with hearing the question,"What difference does it make whether there is a future existence if we live as we should in this life?"
36572Yet what sense would there be in creating wood in all its varieties, with no one to put it to any of its sacred uses?
36572Yet who pretends to have found all the truth there is in the Bible?
36572You did n''t think I was flesh, did you?
36572You have never been where the Christians have gone?
36572_ Where_ is God?
36572_ Who_ is God?
36572_ Why are so many people losing their assurance of immortality?_ 1.
36572then He is in strawberry shortcake, is n''t He?"
4602And what happened- nothing?
4602And what happened-- nothing?
4602Are all men bound to act as Tolstoy teaches-- i. e., to carry out these five commandments of Christ?
4602But how are we to cast off the visible tangible protection of an armed policeman, and trust to something so intangible as public opinion? 4602 But is this interpretation of Christ a true one?"
4602Can we get rid of war?
4602Come for a walk in the town with me?
4602Come, now, suppose your father were arrested and tried to make his escape?
4602Fear will come upon us-- a void, a vast emptiness, freedom-- how are we to go forward not knowing whither, how face loss, not seeing hope of gain? 4602 How can we explain this extraordinary phenomenon which sooner or later threatens us all with inevitable bankruptcy?
4602How can you kill people, when it is written in God''s commandment:''Thou shalt not kill''?
4602I am come to send a fire on the earth,said Christ,"and what will I, if it be already kindled?"
4602Was it Napoleon I. who carried forward the great intellectual movement started by the philosophers of the end of last century? 4602 Was it the invasions of the Persians which saved Greece from falling into the most hideous materialism?
4602Were the invasions of the barbarians what saved and regenerated Rome? 4602 What have they done, those warriors, that proves the least intelligence?
4602What is he muttering?
4602What is the good of doing anything? 4602 What remains to us from Greece?
4602What shall we find the other side of the walls of the world we are abandoning? 4602 What, did n''t you pay the tax?"
4602Why should not the government be put on its trial after every declaration of war? 4602 Yes, but what is one to do?"
460246:"If I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
4602A great genius answered that long ago in the words that have become a proverb:''Without justice, what is an empire but a great band of brigands?''
4602Ah, why?
4602And besides, how are we to find the moment when public opinion has become strong enough to be able to replace the use of force?
4602And can a Christian, then, or can he not, always remaining a Christian, go to law or make any use of the law, or seek his own protection in the law?
4602And can he, by taking his share of service in the army, prepare himself to murder men, and even actually murder them?
4602And can the Christian, or can he not, remaining a Christian, take part in the administration of government, using compulsion against his neighbors?
4602And for the sake of what am I making them?
4602And how are we to love men in these troubled times when every fresh day is a menace of danger?...
4602And is not every band of brigands a little empire?
4602And is not the same thing done in Anglicanism, Lutheranism, and every denomination of Protestantism which has been formed into a church?
4602And just as the dreamer need only make a moral effort and ask himself,"Is n''t it a dream?"
4602And they are questioned:"What, did n''t you take the oath?"
4602And what are the conditions in which you are doing this?
4602And what good to us are these armies with their generals and bands and horses and drums?
4602And what is the use of capital in the hands of private persons, when it can only be of use as the property of all?
4602And what is the use of tax collectors who collect the taxes unwillingly, when it is easy to raise all that is wanted without them?
4602And what need is there of them when there is no war, and no one wants to make war?
4602And when were better men in power, when the Versaillist party or when the Commune was in power?
4602And why is it so indispensably necessary?
4602And why take ye thought for rainment?
4602And why, most of all, should I take part in person or hire others to murder my own brothers and kinsmen?
4602And, indeed what is a heresy?
4602And, indeed, what sort of ethical doctrine could admit the legitimacy of murder for any object whatever?
4602Are they ready to sacrifice modern civilization, their manner of life, their religion, the received conventional morality?
4602Are ye not much better than they?
4602Are you doing what he demands of you who has sent you into the world, and to whom you will soon return?
4602Are you doing what he wills?
4602But can a man make this effort?
4602But if that is the true meaning of the rule of non- resistance, can it always put into practice?
4602But is it possible that the higher classes support the existing order of things simply because it is to their advantage?
4602But is it so with us?
4602But is such a belief possible in these days?
4602But it is not even this question"What will happen?"
4602But precisely how many are needed to make it permissible?
4602But so long as only a few act thus, what will happen to them?
4602But the man who loves humanity-- what does he love?
4602But what good or useful thing can come of all these improvements, if men do not speak and act in accordance with what they believe to be the truth?
4602But what is it that is sacred to the civilized man of to- day?
4602But what is this conviction based on?
4602But what will happen when we give it up and trust ourselves to something invisible and intangible, and altogether unknown?"
4602But when will it be?
4602But who are these evil- disposed persons in our midst from whose attacks we are preserved by the state and its army?
4602But who is to arrange that no war is to be declared?
4602But why should we speak of the past and judge from the past, which may have been misrepresented and misunderstood by us?
4602Can a Christian give a vote at elections, or take part in government or law business?
4602Can he fight in conflict with foreign enemies or disturbers of the peace?
4602Can he pay taxes to such a government?
4602Can he voluntarily give money to aid a government resting on military force, capital punishment, and violence in general?
4602Can he voluntarily vote or furnish soldiers for the government?
4602Can that possibly be?
4602Do men believe in it?
4602Do they regard it as good?
4602Does humanity end with the savage, the idiot, the dipsomaniac, or the madman?
4602Does it compel them to go, and in case of disobedience punish them?
4602Does it yet exist?
4602Does the government let them off then?
4602FOR WHAT DIFFERENCE IS THERE BETWEEN MONARCHIES AND REPUBLICS?
4602Having withdrawn from human protection, what can sustain us but that faith which overcomes the world?
4602He is all right?"
4602How can I help asking myself when I take part in such punishments, whether they are just, and whether I ought to assist in carrying them out?
4602How ought a man, as a Christian, to meet this demand?
4602How then can the manifestations of truth disappear through our realizing it?
4602I asked the old man,"Has he the Gospel?"
4602If we draw a line excluding from humanity its lowest representatives, where are we to draw the line?
4602If we must not oppose evil by force, nor swear, everyone naturally asks,"How, then, about military service?
4602If your officer commands you to kill your neighbor''s child, to kill your father or your mother, would you obey?
4602In another pamphlet, entitled"How many Men are Necessary to Change a Crime into a Virtue?"
4602In the Catholic catechism it is said:"Quels sont ceux qui sont hors de l''église?
4602Is Greece great from her conquests or her creations?
4602Is it possible they must fire on them?
4602Is not the life more than meat, and the body than rainment?
4602Is the religion of Catholicism any other than that of the Russian Church?
4602May he go with a complaint to the judge that he who has wronged him may be punished?
4602May he kill or maim him in self- defense?
4602Of whom was he speaking in the words,"Ye have heard it was said of old"?
4602One involuntarily asks how can men let it go on, not from higher considerations only, but from regard to their own safety?
4602One would expect that every man of the present day who has a grain of sense left, might reply to such requirements,"But why should I do all this?"
4602People ask,"How will our security be guaranteed when the existing organization is suppressed?
4602Q. Whence is the word"non- resistance"derived?
4602Q. Wherein lies the chief significance of the doctrine of non- resistance?
4602Shall we exclude the negroes like the Americans, or the Hindoos like some Englishmen, or the Jews like some others?
4602So why preach about it?
4602So why should I do this?
4602Still less possible is it to prove them by experiment, since the whole matter turns on the question, ought we to try the experiment?
4602The question amounts to this: In what way are we to decide men''s disputes, when some men consider evil what others consider good, and VICE VERSA?
4602Then the ancients allowed the resistance of injury by injury?
4602Then why did they do it, or allow it to be done?
4602There is a law of evolution by which it follows that I must live and act in an evil way; what is to be done?

4602What are people thinking about?

4602What has he to do in the army?
4602What have they invented?

4602What precisely will the new organization be that is to replace it?
4602What sort of moral and rational society can be formed out of such elements?
4602What utterances did Christ refer to in the words,"It was said of old"?
4602What way, then, can the annihilation of the life of some men ameliorate men''s life?
4602What will become of human society when the existing order of things is at an end?
4602What will become of humanity if each of us performs the duty God demands of us through the conscience implanted within us?

4602Who is to compel people to do this and that?
4602Who is to force states to delay their operations for a certain fixed time?
4602Who is to force them, and how?
4602Why do all kings and emperors wear the military uniform?
4602Why do even high- principled parents send their boys to military schools?
4602Why do mothers buy their children toy helmets, guns, and swords as playthings?

4602Why do they fall with such fury on any effort at breaking down religious superstitions or really enlightening the people?
4602Why have they killed her boy, her handsome boy, her one hope, her pride, her life?
4602Why is it that not only governments but private persons of the higher classes, try so jealously to maintain the ignorance of the people?
4602Why is it that one man, ten, a hundred, may not break the law of God, but a great number may?"
4602Why should I flog myself?
4602Why should I promise to obey them, knowing them to be wicked or foolish people, or else not knowing them at all?
4602Why should I punish myself?
4602Why should he not love humanity?
4602Would n''t it be better, as some humorist suggested, to make a queen of india- rubber?"
4602Would not any other man than Victor Hugo have been exiled for that mighty cry of deliverance and truth?

10004A Last Man?
10004A heap of atoms in some strange human semblance-- is that all?
10004AUTHOR OF WHAT IS WORTH WHILE?
10004Am I capable of larger responsibilities, and of wider control?
10004Am I foreordained to sin?
10004Am I loyal?
10004Among all his friends, who is there, man or woman, who is brave enough to be true?
10004And after the Last Man, what?
10004And have we all been misinformed?
10004Are there no sages?
10004Are these things true?
10004As a babe, was I still I?
10004As a representative of the ideal, as executors of social trust, how shall each one use his Power of Price?
10004As these two giants gird themselves for World- dominion, who but God shall gird the armor on, direct the onward course of change?
10004Before a man complains of his wages, then, let him ask himself: Have I mastered my work?
10004Blown hither and thither-- where?
10004But in what state is the proffered fellowship like that of the communion of saints?
10004But in whose hands is equity?
10004But that it is real, who can doubt?
10004But we must first ask: What is an idol?
10004But what am I?
10004But who is consulting the Church in these concerns, except in reference to mere technical points?
10004Can I do as I choose?
10004Can a man receive an education outside of himself?
10004Can not a great leader be inspired to the choice of a man, as well as a great author to the choice of a word, a rhyme?
10004Can not almost all the problems of human training be run down to this: How to teach a child to work?

10004Can not market- houses have arches and arabesques?
10004Can not our day- laborers be granted vision?
10004Can not our streets have curves and storied cross- ways?
10004Can not porters and draymen have somewhat to arouse and satisfy aesthetic instincts?
10004Could any career be grander than the one that God has planned for us?
10004Customs?
10004Do many sermons thrill us in this large way?
10004Do the stars in their courses lay limitations on free will?
10004Do we not long for the graces and perfections which make up a radiant and happy life?
10004Do we not yearn eagerly for the dignity and beauty of high virtue?
10004Do we wish to retain these grimacing phases of ourselves?
10004Do you recall the history of the infamous Jukes family?
10004Do you remember the sermon of Horace Bushnell on the"Populating Power of the Christian Faith"?
10004Does a clod- hopper dream?
10004Does he not miss much from the lack of the world''s hearty give- and- take?
10004Does not he often say sadly to himself, They only want my money?
10004Each asks himself at some time: How shall I become one of the Victors of the race?
10004Each employer must say: Before I settle back with a serene belief that I have given my men a living- wage, let me ask: Have they sun?
10004Even so, looking out upon our own spirits, do we not some day rouse to the distortion and deformity of sin?
10004FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL What is work?
10004First, What is Mother- work?
10004First: Is a minister''s environment favorable to his best personal development?
10004From what point shall they diverge?
10004Has the minister, as a thinker and active force of regeneration, kept pace with this advance?
10004Have many ministers ever bent themselves in this way to solve a special moral problem-- that of, say, a disobedient child in the congregation?
10004Have they enough money for ordinary occasions, and a little to give away?
10004Have they spent six months, hours and hours a day, to make the law of God, the word Obedience, ring in that child''s ears?
10004Have_ I_ had enough dinner?
10004He may rule-- to what end?
10004Hence the first questions in reform are not: How many groggeries are there in my parish?
10004Here is another thought: Shall all association in work be arbitrary?
10004How am I free?
10004How could we love Jesus if He did not sympathize with our ideals?
10004How do other men in public life deal with this problem?
10004How do they maintain discipline, either themselves, or through their subordinates?
10004How do they, age after age, run a predestined course?
10004How far are the limits of authority to be pressed?
10004How far can I extend Myself?
10004How many corrupt polls?
10004How many hypocrites on my church- roll?
10004How many ministers possess, for instance, a scholarly knowledge of human nature or of the deeper aspects of redemption?
10004How much ought I to be paid?
10004How otherwise could it be that out of one century one heart calls to another-- out of one age, proceeds the answer to the cry of ages gone?
10004How ought the soul of man to act in an emergency?
10004How shall the working- man lay hold on the best that life can give?
10004I mean, Why give myself, my powers, my education, my love, my loyalty, to advance the progress of the Church?
10004If a man wishes to build a house, does it fetter him to know square measure, cubic contents, geometry, mensuration, and mechanical laws?
10004If accredited spiritual leaders can not help, who can?
10004If doctrine be the crystallized thought and belief of godly men, what is heresy?
10004If so, how may better things be brought to pass?
10004If so, where does it end?
10004If we could be born again, would we not be born a more spiritual being?
10004In loneliness and silence does he not often think, I wonder, of the God with whom he deals?
10004In what time?
10004In what work shall they centre?
10004In whose hand is the final price of the necessaries of life-- wheat, rice, sugar, soap, cotton, wool, coal, milk, iron, lumber, ice?
10004Is it in me?
10004Is it merely a way of making money?
10004Is it not a strange thing that one voice, and only one, should have really won the hearing of the race?
10004Is it not also the source of the discontent to- day, among almost all classes of women, except the most highly educated and efficient?
10004Is it not the consciousness of existence, together with a consciousness of the power of choice?
10004Is it the material horizon that bounds us?
10004Is not professional pride aroused?
10004Is there any one who wishes to stay always just where he is to- day?
10004Is there any one who wishes to stay always where he is to- day?--to be always what he is this morning?
10004Is there any other processional in the world''s history which, numbering such millions and millions, began with only one?
10004Is there not a more human way than the chain- gang way?
10004Is there such a thing as a place for Truth at wholesale, even in an academy or college?
10004Is this quite as it should be?
10004It begins to question, Upon what foundation does this phrase, this fine sentiment, rest?
10004It is better to ask, What is my work in the upbuilding of the Church?
10004Let excellence, not Will- it- pass?
10004Literature asks: What do I live for?
10004May not even the Bourse have something about it suggestive of great art?
10004Must he-- and his church-- have only his grandfather''s ideas, standards, and decrees?
10004My energy?
10004My ideals?
10004My time?
10004Of a civil engineer who would lament that the mountain over which he was asked to project a road was steep?
10004Of a doctor who would grieve that hosts of people about him were very ill?
10004Of a statesman who would cry out that horrid folks opposed him?
10004Of what avail is it to save one street- Arab, or one Chinaman, if a million Arabs and Chinamen remain unsaved?
10004Of what quality?
10004Once, in a game of Twenty Questions, this was the question set to guess: Who first used the prehistoric root expressing a verb of action?
10004One is the problem of the capitalist: How much ought I to pay?
10004One is then a full- fledged altruist,_ n''est- ce pas_?
10004Or are there bourns of conduct beyond which I can never go?
10004Part of my soul is passing from me: do dollars ever repay?
10004SECOND: ADHERENCE By the question, Why join the Church?--I do not mean alone, Why add my name to a church- roll?
10004Second, What are the best economic conditions under which this work can be done?
10004Shall doctrine be taught a child?
10004Shall we give a liberty to a man''s library which we refuse to his belief?
10004Shall we let others share in the mystery and triumph while we stand apart, silent, unapproving, and alone?
10004Shall we not endeavor to share in some broadly planned, magnificently executed scheme of world- advance?
10004Some one has well said:"Wouldst thou live a great life?
10004Some one says: Do you realize that you are making a moral laughing- stock of much of our system of trade?
10004Sometimes the question comes over me: What am I trading for money?
10004That of the seven devout and noble generations of the Murrays?
10004The most business- like question that ever touches the heart of man is this: For what shall I trade my soul?
10004The problem is, How shall the capitalist lead the noblest, most public- spirited, and helpful life in relation to those in his employ?
10004The question is not: How shall I grind down price to the lowest?
10004The question is: How is my parish society in enmity to the highest spiritual ideal I know?
10004The question, Where is the line between ecclesiastical integrity and individual freedom?
10004The second is that of the working- man: How much service must I render?
10004The tree grows, the flower grows, the ideals of the race grow-- shall not I?
10004There is no question more baffling than this simple, ever- recurring one: What am I?
10004They met the tyrant''s brandished steel, The lions gory mane; They bowed their necks the death to feel: Who follows in their train?
10004Think you that any spiritual power aloof from this Church can be as efficient as if it were allied with it?
10004Think you that such a Church can die?
10004To be always what he is this morning?
10004To- day the trenchant question:"What More than Wages?"
10004Ways?
10004We have honest doctors, lawyers, tradesmen; shall we not have an honest politician and an upright ward- boss?
10004We have myriads of Sabbath- school teachers, but how many men or women really know how to teach a little child?

10004What it is, who may say?
10004What keeps a subtle distance between them, which they never cross?
10004What makes the differences in the social privileges given to one class of workers above another?

10004What would we then lack?
10004What would we think of an electrician who would complain that a storm had cast down his network of wires?
10004What, then, may the sage know?

10004Which of us is all that he might be?
10004Which of us would want to be born at all, if we should be told in advance, You shall never control anything?

12744In the beginning?
12744Lord, is it I?
12744A man said to another,"Do you drink?"
12744All that is said is that they were ungrateful; but how about those who go out from our colleges and universities?
12744An indifferent Christian?
12744And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good?
12744And how about morals?
12744And how much can one wisely spend?
12744And if the light waves created the eyes, why did they not create them strong enough to bear the light?
12744And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others?
12744And is it not greater still that the people are able to reduce a President to the ranks as well as to lift him up?
12744And that brings us to the next question: How much should one desire to collect from society?
12744And what called forth this powerful illustration-- the sacrificing of the right eye and the right hand to save the body?
12744And what can be more important than the cleansing of the heart of all that obstructs one''s view of God?
12744And what excuses do men give?

12744And what would he think of saving weak babies by pasteurizing milk and of the efforts to find a specific for tuberculosis and cancer?
12744And where does that begin?
12744And why did the light waves quit playing when two eyes were perfected?
12744And why is it that we live under a government resting upon the consent of the governed, and in a land in which the people rule?

12744But how does the evolutionist explain the eye when he leaves God out?
12744But is the law of"natural selection"a sufficient explanation, or a more satisfactory explanation, than sexual selection?

12744Can Christians be indifferent to such statistics?
12744Can a man earn that much?
12744Can anything be less scientific than trying to guess what an animal is thinking about?
12744Can such a barbarous doctrine be sound?
12744Can that doctrine be accepted as scientific when its author admits that we can not apply it"without deterioration in the noblest part of our nature"?
12744Can they be blind to the benefits conferred by our churches?

39566And can you, my young friends, be careless about your own salvation while Samuel is so anxious for you? 39566 And what is radiation?"
39566And what, Mr. Hume, about the ice water?
39566And, Mr. Wilton,asked Peter,"does not the Bible say that''God created all things for his own glory''?"
39566Ansel, have you ever heard the''dew point''spoken of?
39566Ansel, will you state the theories which have been held touching the nature of heat?
39566Are you becoming discouraged and almost ready to give up all effort to follow Christ?
39566Are you unwilling to come to him-- to trust him and submit to him?
39566Are your thoughts and feelings and opinions about Christ and salvation the same as they were six weeks ago?
39566But by what agency does man achieve the mastery of Nature? 39566 But can you wholly get rid of the conviction that the Bible is the word of God, written by holy men inspired by the Holy Spirit?"
39566But how does this carry heat from the warmer region to the colder regions around?
39566But how would it please you if my talk upon the ministry of pain should prove to be very much like a sermon?
39566But were you not interested and pleased with the discourse? 39566 But what did you mean?
39566But why do you say, of course? 39566 But would not all these natural agencies subserve essentially the same ends in the discipline of unfallen and sinless beings?
39566But, Samuel, did you not pray for Mr. Hume also, and talk with him?
39566But,said he,"does not the book of Nature-- your Bible, as you call it-- have something to say of God?

39566Do you know what is meant by it?
39566Do you look upon this irregular expansion and contraction of water,asked Mr. Hume,"as a real exception to the rule that heat expands bodies?"
39566Do you wish now that you had fought it through, as you proposed, and kept all your feelings to yourself?
39566Have not you, Mr. Hume, been treating Christ and the Holy Spirit as Samuel feared that you would treat him?
39566Have you ever noticed whether cloudy nights or clear nights are the warmer?

39566How could the dew fall upon the under side?
39566How could we tell,asked Peter,"without knowing what kind of work the machine was designed to do?"
39566How does the form of the earth operate to produce inequality of temperature?
39566How is water formed from these two gases? 39566 How would such a plan please the other members of the class?"
39566I am glad to hear that; but can you tell how they are different?
39566I want to ask,said Peter,"how this internal heat came to exist, and how it is maintained?"
39566If I understand you, then,he said,"you would like a course of lessons in the teachings of Nature?"
39566In this bountiful supply of heat to warm the earth and serve human needs must we not see a kind design on the part of the Creator? 39566 Perhaps,"he continued,"you would prefer to study one of the historic books of the Old Testament?"
39566Peter, what is the third method by which heat passes from place to place?
39566Samuel, what is the cause of day and night?
39566That is the old and common expression, but what is meant by latent heat?
39566Upon what does the dew point depend?
39566Was your answer correct, then?
39566We use heat also in cooking our food,spoke up Peter:"is it not because heat destroys the cohesive attraction, and thus softens it?"
39566What answer did you try to give him, Ansel?

39566What will you say, Peter?
39566Why did you stand upon a rock?
39566Will you correct your answer?
39566Will you not tell us,said Samuel,"how these ocean currents are produced?
39566Will you please explain this?
39566Will you please tell us, Mr. Wilton, how this weakening of cohesive attraction is explained upon the dynamic theory of heat?
39566Would it be wise and well to take no account of foreseen events? 39566 ''And who are these lads and young men for whom all this work and wisdom is expended?'' 39566 ''Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard his spots? 39566 ''Pray, sir,''he says to the master,''what is this strange contradictory institution?'' 39566 ''What must I do to be saved?'' 39566 --_Youmans._What is the second method by which heat passes from place to place?"
3956630:"Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"

39566Ansel, have you studied geology?"
39566Ansel, how shall we explain this?"
39566Ansel, what part of the atmosphere is warmest?"
39566Are there different conditions and different duties required of different men?
39566Are they mixed together as oxygen and nitrogen are mingled in the air, or are they chemically united?"
39566Are we to suppose that the column of heated air reaches to the top of the atmosphere?"
39566Are you contented to live''having no hope and without God in the world''?
39566Are you, Samuel, in your interest in studying Nature, forgetting Christ and the souls of men?"
39566At length he thought,''Why should I not?
39566But did God''s plan excuse his treason against his Lord?
39566But does it seem reasonable that the world was designed merely as a place of punishment for men by reason of their wickedness?"
39566But does not that condensation which forms the cloud- ring set free latent heat, and thus intensify the great heat of the equator?
39566But here two questions arise: What is the glory of God?
39566But how is the weight raised?
39566But how shall we know the object for which God made and governs the world?"
39566But if the casket be so worthy, what shall be said of the gem which is enshrined within?
39566But what did you learn last Sunday?"
39566But what is one iceberg to the thousands which drift yearly from the frigid zones toward the tropics?
39566But what is the Gulf Stream, though it be fifty fold greater than all the rivers of the world, in comparison with the whole sum of the ocean streams?
39566But what is the question which you wished to propose?"
39566But what is the question?"
39566But what is the setting for this gem?
39566But what kind of evidence am I to look for?"
39566But whence comes the force necessary to accomplish this?
39566But whence comes the heat of combustion?
39566But why do not the glowing rays of the sun raise the temperature at once to the highest possible point?
39566But why do not the vegetables begin to freeze as soon as the water?"
39566But why not endow living creatures with nerves of sensation which could experience pleasure, but could not feel pain?
39566But why should not God embrace in his plan that great event, the fall of man, which he foresaw in the future?
39566Can you blot out your past sins?
39566Can you change that condemnation by your feeble, fickle resolutions to reform?
39566Can you erase the record which stands written in the book of remembrance on high?
39566Can you not now tell why water is incombustible?"
39566Can you tell us, Ansel, how the temperature of the earth is affected by the atmosphere?"
39566Can you tell us, Peter, at what season of year the earth is nearer the sun?"
39566Could his late repentance call them back to life and hope?
39566Did Mr. Hume say that what he calls''The book of Nature''contradicts the sacred Scriptures?"
39566Did the Creator then''Bid his angels turn askance The poles of earth twice ten degrees and more From the sun''s axle''?
39566Did this plan touching Christ make the apostasy of man a necessity?
39566Did you ever see barefoot boys running in the cold dew stop and stand upon a stone or rock to get their feet warm?"
39566Did you not carry the same idea of being chief into your plans and expectations for the future?
39566Do all bodies conduct heat with equal rapidity?"
39566Do clouds tend to produce inequalities of temperature?"
39566Do n''t you remember how he used to laugh at the idea of being plunged in the river in honor of a dead man?
39566Do not men produce by cultivation better fruits and vegetables than Nature ever grows when left to herself?"
39566Do not the laws of Nature bring suffering to the good and the bad alike, and happiness also to all classes of men?
39566Do not the works of Nature tell of the same God whose being and character were preached to us yesterday from the Holy Scriptures?"
39566Do you know, Ansel, how to ascertain the dew point at any time?"
39566Do you really and honestly wish to be saved from sin?
39566Do you remember what was said about the production of cold by expansion and of heat by compression?"
39566Do you think that my long trial of doubt and unrest and pain of heart can ever be blessed to my good?"
39566Do you wish to study the evidences of the truth and inspiration of the Holy Scriptures?"
39566Does Nature punish those whom you call the wicked?
39566Does Nature reward the righteous?
39566Does any one think of another cause of inequality of temperature?"
39566Does it not mean that he made the world so good and perfect that all creatures ought to praise him on account of it?"
39566Does it not speak of an infinitely wise and good Creator and Governor?
39566Does that seem to you to be true, Samuel?"
39566Does the temperature rise in any place?
39566Does the world seem as if fitted up to be the dwelling- place of holy beings?"
39566During the past few weeks you have heard others asking,''What shall we do to be saved?''
39566Have you never heard of setting tubs of water in cellars to keep vegetables from freezing?"
39566Have you succeeded in getting rid of your sins?
39566He could only cry out in astonishment,''Father, why am I, thine obedient son, thus smitten?''
39566How are we to combine these two sets of arrangements in our thinking?"
39566How can God make his frown felt except by looking pain, so to speak, into the sinner''s conscience?
39566How could it be otherwise?
39566How is carbon brought into this state of suspense, waiting to dash upon oxygen and develop heat?
39566How is this accomplished?
39566How is this diurnal change of temperature alleviated?"
39566How is this provision for suffering in man and in all sentient creatures consistent with the benevolence elsewhere shown?
39566How much heat is given out in the freezing of water?"
39566How shall their motions be explained?
39566How shall we estimate the strength of this force?
39566How were you interested in the sermon?"
39566How would that affect the rate of radiation from the earth?"
39566How would you apply this principle to the subject we are now considering?
39566Hume?"
39566Hume?"
39566Hume?"
39566Hume?"
39566Hume?"
39566Hume?"
39566If Nature and Nature''s God have blessings in store for the willing and the obedient, why should not I know this and receive my share?"
39566If a second example were made of a second ungodly city, would the expression of divine wrath be weakened?
39566If, however, you want something else than the salvation which Jesus gives, what can you expect but perplexity, difficulty, darkness?
39566Is it a new and original generation of heat, or is it merely a transfer?
39566Is it because it evaporates before it reaches a sufficiently high temperature?"
39566Is it not reasonable to believe that he designed it for their use?
39566Is it wrong to wish for such an experience?"
39566Is that so?"
39566Is this plain to you, Ansel, and does it seem reasonable?"
39566Is this possible?
39566Is your happiness here and hereafter more important to Samuel than to yourselves?"
39566Jesus has gone to prepare mansions for those who will, as he foresees, believe in him: why not make provision for foreseen evils also?
39566Mr. Hume, can you suggest any method by which we can estimate the amount of heat which is carried north and south by the return trades?"
39566Mr. Wilton proposed the question to the class:"What shall be our next course of lessons?
39566Must he, then, after having caught a glimpse of life and joy, be cut off from hope and be driven from God for ever?
39566No one else answered, and finally Mr. Hume said:"I suppose, of course, that you refer to the land and sea breezes?"
39566On the other hand, when the sun sets and his heat is withdrawn, why does not the temperature fall suddenly to the lowest possible point?
39566Ought we to believe that God planned the world for an object for which it never has been and never will be employed?
39566Perhaps you will tell us what seems to you to be that object?
39566Peter, have you ever seen a coal- pit?
39566Plant a grain of corn in midwinter: why does it not germinate and grow?
39566Samuel, what is a third cause of unequal temperature?"
39566Samuel, will you name the second chief source of heat?"
39566Shall we from the burden flee?
39566Some even ventured to approach Mr. Hume himself with their raillery:"What do you think now of being dipped in the river in honor of a dead man?"
39566The Creator foresaw the fall of man; is there no objection to the supposition that, knowing that man would sin, God made no provision for it?
39566The young man answered,''All these have I kept from my youth up; what lack I yet?''
39566Then Ansel spoke up:"Mr. Wilton, why can we not study something which we know to be true?"
39566Was it merely an accident that the dove was fitted to become the emblem of purity and of the Holy Spirit?
39566Was not this so?"
39566What care could give him knowledge of the qualities of all natural substances, that he might avoid their dangerous properties?
39566What carefulness could guard against the tornado on the land, or the hurricane and the cyclone upon the sea?
39566What could his confession do for the young men already, perhaps, among the lost through his influence?
39566What did he mean by that, Samuel?"
39566What does man need besides scope and reward for exertion?
39566What effect, Peter, has the unevenness of the earth''s surface upon temperature?"
39566What if Christ be the Son of God?
39566What if a third example be made of a third city?
39566What if every wicked city is made an example?
39566What if hydrogen were put in the place of nitrogen?
39566What if some other equally active element were mingled with oxygen to form the atmosphere?
39566What if there be a future life and a judgment day?
39566What if, in place of nitrogen, vapor of sulphur were substituted?
39566What is another cause of inequality of temperature?"
39566What is meant by this?
39566What is that?"
39566What is the chief form of this which is used for the production of heat?
39566What is the general principle touching the effect of heat upon bodies?"
39566What is the meaning of this?
39566What is understood, Ansel, by this term, specific heat?"
39566What need is there of a creator?
39566What power should save him from the bursting of the volcano and the jaws of the earthquake?
39566What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits?
39566What was a confession in comparison with the ruin he had caused?
39566What will be the end of his groping in darkness?
39566What would be the effect, Ansel, if the atmosphere were as warm, or warmer, at the top than at the surface of the earth?
39566What, Mr. Hume, do you think the effect would be upon creatures such as we all know men to be?"
39566When radiant heat falls upon a body, what becomes of it?"
39566Which will encourage the larger manliness and nurture the higher culture and strength?
39566Who can prove that the universe did not exist from eternity?
39566Who should stand sentinel against the unseen poison borne upon the wings of the wind?
39566Who will mention another method by which heat is economized?"
39566Who will suggest it?"
39566Who will tell us?"
39566Why does not the dew-- for frost is nothing but dew frozen as it forms-- come upon the under side of the paper?"
39566Why is this, Samuel?"
39566Why not give up my own will?
39566Why not pray that God''s will may be done?''
39566Will some one explain this?"
39566Will some one mention some of the general methods by which the waste of heat is prevented?"
39566Will some one now state the manner in which the dynamic theory of heat explains this expansion?"
39566Will some one suggest what this agency is?"
39566Will you bolt the door?
39566Will you not come to him?
39566Will you not trust his promises and commit yourselves to his hands to be saved?
39566Will you tell us, Peter, the first and chief of these effects?"
39566Will you tell us, Samuel, how winds are caused?"
39566Will you tell us, Samuel, the first adjustment or arrangement upon which the temperature of the earth depends?"
39566Will you, Mr. Hume, suggest one of the general arrangements for the economical use of heat?"
39566Wilt thou not bow their pride of heart and turn their wills and make their hearts tender, gentle, and believing?
39566Wilt thou not draw them to thyself?
39566Wilt thou not smite the rock, and cause the waters of penitent grief to flow?
39566With these machines before you, could you tell me whether the inventor were a wise and skillful machinist?"
39566Would God forgive and raise to heavenly heights a man who had dragged others down to hell?
39566Would it be possible that Christ should fill his soul with blessedness while his victims were drinking the wine of the wrath of God?
39566Would it have been wiser and better to leave out of account that most stupendous fact in the history of the human race?
39566Would that seem to be a fitting employment for the sinless children of the all- loving Father?
39566Would you be satisfied to have a commonplace experience, such as thousands of others have, which would attract no special notice?
39566Would you like to study one of the Epistles-- the Epistle to the Romans or that to the Hebrews?"
39566Yet, taken as a whole, can one doubt that variety of climate and change of temperature are of advantage to man?
39566You cry out,''Men and brethren, what shall we do?''
39566and Peter''s answer,"Lord, to whom shall we go?
39566and the lion, of strength and regal state?
39566and, What is it for God to glorify himself by his works of creation and government?
39566he asked;"do you think Genesis less trustworthy than the Epistle of Paul?"
39566the ant, to be the type of prudent industry?
39566the horse, of spirit and daring?
39566the lamb, to be the emblem of gentleness, of Christ the gentle Sufferer, and of his suffering people?
14453''But why not reveal true things first to the wise?
14453''How shall mortal man walk in such a yoke,''sayest thou,''even with the Son of God bearing it also?''
14453''How then am I to try after it?
14453''I hope, sir, your health is better than it has been?''
14453''I will be God among you; I will be myself to you.--You will not have me?
14453''Shall not God avenge his own elect,''he says,''which cry day and night unto him?''
14453''What is it, then, to be pure in heart?''
14453''What power can heal the broken- hearted?''
14453''Why did you look for me?
14453Ah, to whom shall we go?
14453All come from the one mighty father: shall he judge the live thoughts of God, which is greater and which is less?
14453And he said unto them,''How is it that ye sought me?
14453And what shall we say of those coming, and yet to come and pass-- evermore issuing from the fountain of life, daily born into evil things?
14453And why are they always glad before the face of the Father in heaven?
14453And why should he have taken it for granted they would know, or judge that they ought to have known, that he was there?
14453Are all to have the same face?
14453Are these not worth making immortal?
14453Are they authorized in translating the Greek thus?
14453Are they not the fittest to receive them?''
14453Are we guilty of connivance, when silent as to the ambush whence we know the wicked arrow privily shot?
14453Are we to call the traitor to account?
14453Are we to treat persons known for liars and strife- makers as the children of the devil or not?
14453Are we to turn away from them, and refuse to acknowledge them, rousing an ignorant strife of tongues concerning our conduct?
14453Are you the lowest kind of creature that_ could_ be permitted to live?
14453As to his being the Messiah, that was merest absurdity: did they not all know his father, the carpenter?
14453Blessed of God because restored to an absence of sorrow?
14453But a yoke is for drawing withal: what load is it the Lord is drawing?
14453But had we once seen God face to face, should we not be always and for ever sure of him?
14453But if all our light shine out, and none of our darkness, shall we not be in utmost danger of hypocrisy?
14453But if the child try to possess as a house the thing his father made an organ, will he succeed in so possessing it?
14453But if the thought be anywise precious to you, is it essential to your enjoyment in it, that nothing less than yourself should share its realization?
14453But if you do, why not believe in it for them?
14453But is toothache nothing, because there are yet worse pains for head and face?
14453But let us waste no strength in despising such men; let us rather turn the light upon ourselves: are we not in some way denying him?
14453But shall I admire their discoveries at the expense of the stranger-- nay, no stranger-- the poor brother within their gates?
14453But what if your righteousness tarry, because your hunger after it is not eager?
14453But what is this liberty of the children of God, for which the whole creation is waiting?
14453But what shall I say of such as for any kind of end subject animals to torture?
14453But why inquire?
14453But would such restoration be comfort enough for the heart of Jesus to give?
14453Can there be oneness without difference?
14453Could Love create with such end in view?
14453Could we see things always as we have sometimes seen them-- and as one day we must always see them, only far better-- should we ever know dullness?
14453Darest thou imply a divine preference for Capernaum over Nazareth?''
14453Dead, in bondage to corruption, how can they share in the liberty of the children of Life?
14453Did he ever say,''This is mine, not yours''?
14453Did he not say,''All things are mine, therefore they are yours''?
14453Did you not know that I must be among my father''s things?''
14453Do we understand it?
14453Do you believe in immortality for yourself?
14453Does he intend''my father and me''?
14453Does he intend_ all of us men_?
14453Does he make the least lamentation over the temple?
14453Does not he then, who loves and understands his book, possess it with such possession as is impossible to the other?
14453Does not this involve its existence beyond what we call this world?
14453Dost thou look for a good time coming, friend, when thou shalt know as thou art known?
14453Dost thou not justify thy deed to thyself by thy tenderness toward me?
14453First then, what does Paul, the slave of Christ, intend by''the creature''or''the creation''?
14453For how can God in any sense forgive, remit, or send away the sin which a man insists on retaining?
14453For the sake of your children, would you waylay a beggar?
14453For what good, for what divine purpose is the maker of the sparrow present at its death, if he does not care what becomes of it?
14453For what is a lamp or a man lighted?
14453For what makes the thing a book?
14453Had God been of like heart with you, would he have given life and immortality to creatures so much less than himself as we?
14453Had he not known something better, would he have said what he did about the father of men and the sparrows?
14453Had not those words found a way to the pure human, that is, the divine in the men?
14453Has the question no interest for you?
14453Have they not also a faithful creator?
14453He_ is_ that thing; why think about it?
14453How are they to go on loving it without a growing knowledge of it?
14453How can he keep in his sight a foul presence?
14453How can we be workers with God at his work, and he never say''Thank you, my child''?
14453How could the divine order of things, founded for growth and gradual betterment, hold and proceed without the notion of return for a thing done?
14453How did they bear him witness?
14453How shall he die to escape the remorse of the authorship of so much misery?
14453How should it be otherwise?
14453How should it not be so, when the one Power is the informing life of both?
14453How should that woman care to be delivered from her sins, how could she accept any comfort, who believed the child of her bosom lost to her for ever?
14453How should the treasure of the Father be open to such?
14453How, then, am I to let my light shine, if I take pains to hide what I do?
14453How, then, were they worth calling out of the depth of no- being?
14453If a woman forget the child she has borne and nourished, how shall she remember the father from whom she has herself come?
14453If another have none, thine must lie in thy superior power; and will there not one day come a stronger than thou?
14453If any one say,''Why did the Lord let the word remain there so long, if he never said it?''
14453If he did say''_ my father''s house_'', could he have meant the temple and his parents not have known what he meant?
14453If he meant that they might have known this without being told, why was it that, even when he set the thing before them, they did not understand him?
14453If his faith in God take from a man his cheerfulness, how shall the face of a man ever shine?
14453If his presence be no good to the sparrow, are you very sure what good it will be to you when your hour comes?
14453If one answer,''For aught I know, it may be so,''--Where then are thy own rights?
14453If such then be the words of the apostle, does he, or does he not, I ask, hold the idea of the immortality of the animals?
14453If the Father will raise his children, why should he not also raise those whom he has taught his little ones to love?
14453If the Lord said very little about animals, could he have done more for them than tell men that his father cared for them?
14453If they had denied him, where would our gospel be?
14453In the Perfect, would familiarity ever destroy wonder at things essentially wonderful because essentially divine?
14453In which of his changing moods is he more himself?
14453Is God a mocker, who will not be mocked?
14453Is Time too much for him?
14453Is any other imaginable reward worth mentioning beside it?
14453Is he a loving God?
14453Is he a merciful God?
14453Is he the husbandman to take all the profit, and muzzle the mouth of his ox?
14453Is he to tell them the horrors of the persecutions that await them, and not the sweet sympathies that will help them through?
14453Is it a grand thing, is it a meritorious thing, not to be vile?
14453Is it in wine only that the old is better?
14453Is it not of the very essence of the Christian hope, that we shall be changed from much bad to all good?
14453Is it not that it has a soul-- the mind in it of him who wrote the book?
14453Is it selfish to desire to love?
14453Is it selfish to hope for purity and the sight of God?
14453Is it shining before men so that they glorify God for it?
14453Is it what he himself thinks he is?
14453Is it what his friends at any given moment think him?
14453Is not our love to the animals a precious variety of love?
14453Is not the prophecy on the groaning creation to have its fulfilment in the new heavens and the new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness?
14453Is not virtue then a reward?
14453Is our light bearing witness?
14453Is the Lord such as they believe him?
14453Is there a past to God with which he has done?
14453Is there any mourning worthy the name that has not love for its root?
14453Is there anything to be proud of in refusing to worship the devil?
14453Is this the fine of the great buyer of land, to have his fine pate full of fine dirt?
14453It is a greater deed, to make be that which was not, than to seal it with an infinite immortality: did God do that which was not worth doing?
14453It was the Israelite indeed, whom the Lord met with miracle:''Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig- tree, believest thou?
14453It will take the utmost joy God can give, to let men know him; and what man, knowing him, would mind losing every other joy?
14453Let us now take the translation given us by the Revisers:--''Wist ye not that I must be in my father''s house?''
14453Loves any lover so little as to desire_ no_ change in the person loved-- no something different to bring him or her closer to the indwelling ideal?
14453May we roll the rejection of a villainy as a sweet morsel under our tongues?
14453Mayst thou not one day be in Naboth''s place, with an Ahab getting up to go into thy vineyard to possess it?
14453Must he give them no help to counterbalance the load with which they start on their race?
14453Must not the light of truth in his face, beheld of such even as knew not the truth, have lifted their souls up truthward?
14453Must she keep away until she knows herself sorry for her sins?
14453Must the Lord hide from his friends that they will have cause to rejoice that they have been obedient?
14453Must the creator send forth his virtue to hold alive a thing that will be evil-- a thing that ought not to be, that has no claim but to cease?
14453Must the love live on for ever without its object?
14453Must the very immortality of love divide the bond of love?
14453Must there be only current and no tide?
14453Must we congratulate you on such a love for your fellows as inspires you to wrong the weaker than they, those that are without helper against you?
14453Must we fail still?
14453Need I argue the injustice?
14453Now what can God''s elect have to keep on crying for, night and day, but righteousness?
14453Only what other joy could keep from entering, where the God of joy already dwelt?
14453Or can he have been with him, and have left him behind in his closet?
14453Or did he care for them, but could not help them?
14453Or does he intend''you and me, John''?
14453Shall not the children have little dogs under the Father''s table, to which to let fall plenty of crumbs?
14453Shall not_ the_ Father do_ his_ best to find his prodigal?
14453Shall we count the man worthy who, for the sake of his friend, robbed another man too feeble to protect himself, and too poor to punish his assailant?
14453Shall we not rather believe that the vessels of less honour, the misused, the maltreated, shall be filled full with creative wine at last?
14453Should we not just open our own child- eyes, look upon the things themselves, and be consoled?
14453Starts thy soul, trembles thy brain at the thought of such a burden as the will of the eternally creating, eternally saving God?
14453That is like the lawyer''s''Who is my neighbour?''
14453The Father is father_ for_ his children, else why did he make himself their father?
14453The Greek, taken literally, says,''Wist ye not that I must be in the----of my father?''
14453The Lord knew these men, and had their hearts in his hand; else would he have told them they were the salt of the earth and the light of the world?
14453The Lord would have men love righteousness, but how are they to love it without being acquainted with it?
14453The man who takes no count of what is fair, friendly, pure, unselfish, lovely, gracious,--where is his claim to call Jesus his master?
14453The plural article implies the English_ things_; and the question is then, What_ things_ does he mean?
14453The rich man may come prowling after thy little ewe lamb, and what wilt thou have to say?
14453The sons of God are not a new race of sons of God, but the old race glorified:--why a new race of animals, and not the old ones glorified?
14453The typical soul reappears in higher formal type; why may not also the individual soul reappear in higher form?
14453Then, if the earth must have its animals, why not the old ones, already dear?
14453Therefore, that he is empty of good, needs discourage no one; for what is emptiness but room to be filled?
14453They had heard of wonderful things he had done in other places: why had they not first of all been done in_ their_ sight?
14453They have little, and we have much; ought they therefore to have less and we more?
14453To what purpose is the spirit of God promised to them that ask it, if not to help them order their way aright?
14453Was ever love so deep, so pure, so perfect, as to be good enough for him?
14453Was it not the something true, common to all hearts, that bore the wondering witness to the graciousness of his words?
14453Was it wrong to assure them that where he was going they should go also?
14453Was that his saying?
14453We must be nowise anxious to defend ourselves; and if not ourselves because God is our defence, then why our friends?
14453Were they created only to become dear, and be destroyed?
14453What are we for but to do our duty?
14453What are we to understand by''my father''s things''?
14453What better can we do for our neighbour than to become altogether righteous toward him?
14453What can be done for the poor things-- except indeed you take the absurd notion into your head, that they too have a life beyond the grave?''
14453What did Jesus come into the world to do?
14453What did his saying mean?
14453What first reward for doing well, may I look for?
14453What is he there for, I repeat, if he have no care that it go well with his bird in its dying, that it be neither comfortless nor lost in the abyss?
14453What is it constitutes this or that man?
14453What is there for us when we discover that we are out of the way, but to bethink ourselves and turn?
14453What light can he have in him who is always on his own side, and will never descry reason or right on that of his adversary?
14453What man would he be who accepted the offer to be healed and kept alive by means which necessitated the torture of certain animals?
14453What more could it be?
14453What saves his claim from being merest mockery?
14453What shall we say of him who comes from his closet, his mountain- top, with such a veil over his face as masks his very humanity?
14453What sort of Christians are they?
14453What then makes those who give us this translation, prefer it to the phrase in the authorized version,''_ about my Father''s business_''?
14453What was his place of prayer?
14453What was in the news to make the poor glad?
14453What was the new covenant?
14453What would the newest earth be to the old children without its animals?
14453When his reward comes, will the youth feel aggrieved that it is Greek, and not bank- notes?
14453Where does he find symbols whereby to speak of what goes on in the mind and before the face of his father in heaven?
14453Where is the evil toward God, where the wrong to my neighbour, if I think sometimes of the joys to follow in the train of perfect loving?
14453Where is their deliverance?
14453Where shall the woman go whose child is at the point of death, or whom the husband of her youth has forsaken, but to her Father in heaven?
14453Where shines their light?
14453Where then was the propriety of his coming to be baptized by John, and insisting on being by him baptized?
14453Wherein then consisted the goodness of the news which he opened his mouth to give them?
14453Whereon will they ground their complaint should God give them their hearts''desire?
14453Wherewith is the cart laden which he would have us help him draw?
14453Whether the Syriac words he used were more precise, who in this world can tell?
14453Which is the richer-- the man who, his large money spent, would have no refuge; or he for whose necessity a hundred would sacrifice comfort?
14453Which of the two possessed the earth-- king Agrippa or tent- maker Paul?
14453Who had a claim equal to theirs?
14453Who will count himself deceived by overfulfilment?
14453Why cast out a devil that the man may the better do the work of the devil?
14453Why did they not understand it?
14453Why should a man meditate with satisfaction on having denied himself some selfish indulgence, any more than on having washed his hands?
14453Why should it not then involve immortality?
14453Why should such a notion seem to you absurd?
14453Why then think of it as anything more?
14453Why was his arrival with such words in his heart and mouth, the coming of the kingdom?
14453Why?
14453Will he not be the nearer sharing in the exceeding great reward of a return to the divine idea?
14453Will he take joy in his success and give none?
14453With what but the will of the eternal, the perfect Father?
14453Would Satan, with all the instincts and impulses of his origin in him, have_ merited_ eternal life by refusing to be a devil?
14453Would it not be more like the king eternal, immortal, invisible, to know no life but the immortal?
14453Would not such acknowledgment from the father be the natural correlate of the child''s behaviour?
14453Would such a mother be a woman of whom the saviour of men might have been born?
14453Would such a new heaven be a thing to thank God for?
14453Would the Lord have such a one be of good cheer, of merry heart, because her sins were forgiven her?
14453Would this be a prospect on which the Son of Man would congratulate the mourner, or at which the mourner for the dead would count himself blessed?
14453Yes, if we but hide our darkness, and do not strive to slay it with our light: what way have we to show it, while struggling to destroy it?
14453Your conscience does not trouble you?
14453Zeal for God will never eat them up: why should it?
14453_ JESUS IN THE WORLD._''Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us?
14453_ THE SALT AND THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD._''Ye are the salt of the earth; but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted?
14453and thou seen as the receiver of the reward!_ In what other way could the word, then or now, be fairly understood?
14453and what would the father''s smile be but the perfect reward of the child?
14453can I do so without knowing what it is?''
14453harmony without distinction?
14453is he not their defence as much as ours?
14453is thy friend''s esteem then so small?
14453no moment in which to sob-- Sister, brother, I am thy slave?
14453no room for making amends?
14453or are we to give warning of any sort?
14453or worse still, must the love die with its object, and be eternal no more than it?
14453seek the praise of God for laying our hearts at the feet of him to whom we utterly belong?
14453seek the praise of men for being fair to our own brothers and sisters?
14453the good shepherd to find his lost sheep?
14453then why faces at all?
14453to create nothing that could die; to slay nothing but evil?
14453to something that is not we, which means annihilation?
14453what hope for the self- indulgent, the conceited, the greedy, the miserly?
14453where his claim to Christianity?
14453who so capable as they to pronounce judgment on his mission whether false or true: had they not known him from childhood?
14453wist ye not that I must be about my father''s business?''
16276''And Moses said, The Lord heareth your murmurings that ye murmur against him; and what are we? 16276 ''What aileth thee, Hagar?''
16276''What manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation?'' 16276 ''When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?
16276''Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? 16276 ''Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness and hath no light?
16276Alas, alas, and is there no help-- no preventive? 16276 And after all this, art thou pacified towards me?
16276Are these things so? 16276 But how is this to be attained?
16276But is not the time come to pass when before thy people call thou answerest, and while they are yet speaking, thou hearest? 16276 But this labor of love; who could have hoped for it?
16276Can all the philosophic ingenuity of London, this evening, produce such a scene? 16276 Dear mother,"he replied,"what religion can there be in italics?"
16276Did not the dove, my dear J----, get into the ark? 16276 Do I, O my God, seek for or desire any other foundation?
16276Do you remember how much I used to say about our dear Methodist Society in Antigua? 16276 Do you think it lawful for Christians to attend public places, or to spend their time in reading plays?
16276Dr. R---- preached from Psalm 27:1,''The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? 16276 Father, O my Father, am I not still thy child-- still thy adopted?
16276Has the Lord given me in some measure victory over the world? 16276 Have we then any cause for fear?
16276Have you Newton''s letters? 16276 Have you any doubts, then, my dear friend?"
16276I am anxious, my dearest father, to know the particulars of my mother''s death: who attended her in her illness? 16276 I can not but regret your want of pastoral food; yet ought I to regret any thing?
16276I have often inquired, What is there within us, or without us, on which a sinner can rest in peace in a dying hour? 16276 I have shut my door, desiring to commune with God, but feeling dull and lifeless, ask what shall I read?
16276I suppose my J---- has sinned; what then? 16276 Is it so?
16276Is not godliness gain? 16276 Joyful, with all the strength I have, My quivering lips should sing,''Where is thy boasted victory, Grave, And where the monster''s sting?''
16276Mrs. Graham,said he,"have you ever prayed to the Lord to provide good servants for you?
16276O Death, where is thy sting? 16276 O Lord, my covenant God, all my desire is before thee; is it not that thou magnify thy grace in me and in my family?
16276O my God, is not my own death at hand? 16276 O my God, my merciful and gracious God, what can I say of thy amazing, distinguishing mercy to me?
16276O my God, what is my life, what is my happiness but a continual receiving? 16276 O, why will sinners resist the grace of God, and spend the precious time given to seek and find it in thoughtless folly?
16276This great I AM is my portion-- what can I ask beside? 16276 We deserve this bereavement; but, Lord, what do we not deserve?
16276Well, what shall we say? 16276 What might not be done by men-- by men of talent, of standing, of wealth, of leisure?
16276What shall I render to the Lord for all his mercies-- mercies temporal, mercies spiritual, mercies eternal, multiplied mercies? 16276 When was it that the Lord proclaimed this, and took unto himself this name?
16276Why hesitate to join the church? 16276 Why, O why is my spirit still depressed?
16276''Behold, I am vile, what shall I answer thee?''
16276''Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him?

16276A SCRIPTURE PARAPHRASE BY D. B----"Return to thee, my God?
16276A little after, he said,''Who died for all?''
16276A time was when a kind Saviour was expostulating with them:''Why will you die?''
16276Accordingly I stopped Dr. Bowie on the gallery:''Tell me, doctor,''said I,''what have I to expect?
16276After such examples, who will dare to charge the doctrines of the cross of Christ with licentiousness?
16276Alas, my child, did you listen for the voice of your babe?
16276Am I living in the indulgence of any known wilful sin; or in the habitual neglect of any known duty?
16276And are these things so indeed?
16276And did the Lord take vengeance on my inventions?
16276And how can God do this, whose law is, as himself, immutable; and who adds''that he will by no means clear the guilty?''
16276And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor?
16276And shall I covet that for my child which I despise for myself?
16276And shall I reach their highest tone Of love to Jesus?
16276And what can I say?
16276Angels and fellow- sinners, say, Will you not join me in this lay, Now, and through heaven''s eternal day?
16276Are not all my hopes for time and eternity built on this foundation?
16276Are there none among you to hear her voice from the tomb, Go and do thou likewise?
16276Are these the Christians?
16276Are they again to be made heirs of eternal life?
16276Are they all for sin?
16276Are we heirs of God and joint- heirs with Christ?
16276Are we not his witnesses?
16276Are you not obliged to drive away your own reflections?
16276Art thou my Husband?
16276Art thou not calling with power,''Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings?''
16276Art thou not made of God unto thy people, wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption?
16276Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?
16276Believest thou this?''
16276But Oh, what am I to think of the fruits?
16276But what can I say on those subjects?
16276But what is all this to a thoughtless world, insensible of their situation, danger, and need?
16276But what is that to me?
16276But who are these children that idly ramble through the streets, a prey to growing depravity and vicious example?
16276But why look so much at your vow?
16276But why say I so?
16276Can I attribute any thing to myself?
16276Can I believe it?
16276Can I, or any one else, describe my situation, or what I felt at that moment?
16276Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire?
16276Christ ran with me, and through Christ I hope to win,''''But you have no fear, no doubts, about your going to be with Christ?''
16276Dare I say that I, worm as I am, and a sinful worm, am the subject of this loving- kindness, through the righteousness of Christ?
16276Dare I utter a word or harbor a murmuring thought?
16276Dare you, my son, sit down and think over all the past, all the present, and look forward to the future with any degree of comfort?
16276Did Jesus once upon me shine?
16276Did not the Lord, he against whom we have sinned?
16276Do I desire, have I asked and persisted in asking for my children, salvation from sin and self?
16276Do I understand and know thee, that thou art the Lord which exerciseth righteousness, loving- kindness, and judgment in the earth?
16276Do its honors, riches, and gaudy splendor appear to me empty and vain, and not worth an anxious thought?
16276Do we hear a word of his art as a slinger, as a marksman?
16276Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple?
16276Do you think these things tend, either immediately or remotely, to promote the glory of God?
16276Do you think your friend is always on the mount?
16276Does it find you in a situation to dig your garden, sow your seeds, and make provision for future comfort?
16276Does no wounded pride, no selfish hurt mix?
16276Does not the ark of the covenant appear, going before me?
16276Does provision of food and raiment by the way through this wilderness seem all that is necessary?
16276Does the opening spring cheer your spirits, and furnish a song of praise?
16276Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols?
16276Has he not hitherto done all things well?
16276Has he proved a good master?
16276Has it not satisfied my soul, and in some degree allayed my thirst for carnal delights?
16276Has the Lord turned your captivity, and dried up the bitter waters that flowed against you?
16276Has the barrel of meal or the cruse of oil failed?
16276Hast thou not also brought me to this living, life- giving water?
16276Hast thou not been working on the right hand and on the left?
16276Hast thou not in former days had thy dwelling among them?
16276Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God fainteth not, neither is weary?
16276Hast thou not procured this to thyself, in that thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God, when he led thee by the way?
16276Hast thou not redeemed me from vain imaginations?
16276Hast thou not taught my soul its miserable and ruined state by nature; its helplessness as well as misery?
16276Hast thou not, O God, prepared the hearts of thy people to pray, and thine ear to hear?
16276Have I been a barren wilderness, or a land of darkness unto thee?
16276Have not I an Advocate with thee, Jesus Christ the righteous, whom thou hearest always?
16276Have not I asked for my children their mother''s portion?
16276Have not my own afflictions been my greatest blessings?
16276Have you, my son, been happy?
16276He answered,''My dear, do you think they will forget me?''
16276He said,''Of what?''
16276He shall roll back the foaming wave, Command the channel dry; No sting has death, no victory grave?
16276Here at my heart it lies still; who can speak to me of it?
16276How are your eyes, after all the briny tears that have steeped them?
16276How are your poor nerves, after all the shocks that have agitated them?
16276How can that be solid joy Which a moment may destroy?''
16276I am also satisfied that it will be the best time; but still I cry, O how long?
16276I have not suffered persecution; and why?
16276I said, True; but why avoid the tenor of Scripture?
16276I said,''My love, she thinks you want to say something to me; can you speak?''
16276I said,''My love, you know I have great faith in the prayers of God''s people; suppose you should beg an interest in them this afternoon?''
16276If such things were done in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry?"
16276In all the myriads which shall appear at the bar of God, will there be such a sinner-- taking into view the early grace manifested?
16276In all these myriads, is there one Who had on earth so much forgiven?
16276In an acceptable time-- when?
16276Is Israel a servant; is he a home- born slave; wherefore is he spoiled?
16276Is all this so, and shall I tremble at the approach of any of his providences?
16276Is he himself become our salvation?
16276Is it not worth inquiring into?
16276Is it so?
16276Is it thy pleasure, Lord, that I attend the children on a day appointed for the purpose?
16276Is not Christ all my salvation and all my desire?
16276Is not this Bible Society, and are not these associations for prayer, tokens from thee for good?
16276Is not this according to thy will?
16276Is not this, O Lord, the full amount of my desires?
16276Is our life hid with Christ in God?
16276Is this God my God, and the God of my seed?
16276Let it pass; suffer it quietly; when your scheme begins to ripen and the fruits appear, who shall be able to withhold their praise?
16276Let us drink and be refreshed, rejoice and praise: for Oh, who can tell the amount of our riches, in having God for our portion?
16276Look at Paul''s experience-- what does he say of the believer''s state?
16276Lord, help me; hast thou not promised to work in me both''to will and to do of thy good pleasure?''
16276Maidens, are there none among you who would wish to array yourselves hereafter in the honors of this virtuous woman?
16276Matrons, has she left her mantle also?
16276Mr. Y---- preached a very excellent sermon from the Song of Solomon,''Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness leaning on her beloved?''
16276My Bible lies just at hand; where shall I read?
16276My Father, thou art the guide of my youth?''
16276Nicodemus, with all his learning, was a stranger to this doctrine:''How can a man be born when he is old?''
16276None whom affluence permits, endowments qualify, and piety prompts, to aim at her distinction by treading in her steps?
16276O dare I not to thee appeal, That''tis my first desire, That on this heart thou stamp thy seal And grave it with love''s fire?
16276O my Redeemer, what can I say to thee?
16276O the Hope of Israel and Saviour thereof, is not that day and that time come?
16276O what could man or angel have done with this last character of thy name?
16276O, do I not know thee by this name; has it not been thy name to me throughout this wide wilderness,''pardoning iniquity, transgression, and sin?''
16276O, my Juliet, where is the time to be spared for plays, assemblies, and such numerous idle parties of various descriptions?
16276O, who can tell the cost?
16276Often has he hailed me in some such language:''What aileth thee?''
16276Oh, could I not watch with thee one hour?
16276Oh, hast thou not given me faith to come, faith to drink; and have I not experienced its solacing quality?
16276Oh, is it not a well- ordered covenant, and sure?"
16276On searching the Scriptures, her mind fastened on these words in John 21:15,"Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these?
16276One young man came into the cabin, asking,"Is there any peace here?"
16276Ought I to be sad, who can say,''or in heaven?''
16276Said Paul,"If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?
16276Shall I deny the grace of God through fear or pride?
16276Shall I not say when it has taken place,''The will of the Lord be done,''especially when clothed with love?
16276Shall conscious unworthiness, or weakness, or ignorance, prevent my answering?
16276She then said,''This night?''
16276The gardens no doubt will be glorious, but the groundwork is also God''s; but why say I that in particular?
16276The severe winter is past; how have you got along?
16276The waves toss high their foaming heads, But can''st thou perish?
16276The young man asks him,''What good thing shall I do, that I may inherit eternal life?''
16276Then it was,''Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee?
16276These sinners said unto him,''What shall we do that we might work the works of God?''
16276Think then, and seriously ask,''What if it be so?
16276Thou art mine, and I am thine: thou art mine with all thy fulness, what can I want besides?
16276Was it when I was full, or when in want, that I returned to my heavenly Father?
16276What are earthly friends?
16276What are we all, but broken reeds, which pierce the hand when laid hold of for support?
16276What can I say to such grace?
16276What can I say; what can I render to the Lord for all his gifts to me?
16276What can I say?
16276What can I say?
16276What can they do, on such a bed of distress, who have no God?
16276What has our whole life been, but sin, backslidings, and wanderings?
16276What has such a one to do with a holy God?
16276What have I to say then, but, Amen, do as thou hast said?
16276What have his dealings with us been, but pardons, healings, restorations?
16276What have you experienced more than the Scriptures tell us: that''the heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked?''
16276What have you found in his service?
16276What if this be indeed the word of God given by inspiration, for the rule of both our faith and manners, and by which we are to be judged?
16276What if this same God, who so kindly reveals his will to men, has with it given the clearest evidences and strongest proofs that it is his own word?''
16276What in heaven or earth could save me, but thy covenant?
16276What is our cup to his?
16276What is the amount of it?
16276What is the portion of the worldling?
16276What is the truth of God''s salvation?
16276What saved me?
16276What the sum of blessings contained in it?
16276What then have I to care for?
16276What then?
16276What was their whole history but backsliding, threatening upon threatening?
16276What were the sins of Israel and Judah to mine?
16276What were we to expect but that God should say, Why should they be stricken any more?
16276What, O what can I say to such grace?
16276When he appears, shall we, I and the children which he hath given me, in very deed appear with him in glory?
16276When was it that Paul, the great apostle, could say he had fought the good fight?
16276Where shall I begin?
16276Wherefore say my people, We are lords, and will come no more to thee?
16276Who are the authors of all these blessings?
16276Who dares condemn the sinner whom Christ acquits?
16276Who knows but these little services may one day save our scalps?
16276Who shall lay any thing to his charge?
16276Who told my friend that she was blind, and miserable, and wretched, and naked?
16276Who told you of these evils and wants?
16276Who would not trust that God, who alone can be_ the guide of our youth_?
16276Why do I not wrestle more for the Spirit to breathe on them?
16276Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way?
16276Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God?
16276Why should he be the man?
16276Why then do they not diffuse thus extensively the seeds of knowledge, of virtue, and of bliss?
16276Why then these tears?
16276Why these sobs?
16276Will you take Joshua''s determination?
16276Wilt thou guide us by thy counsel while we live, and afterwards receive us to thy glory?
16276Wonderful are all the works of creation; but Oh, what are they to thy work of redemption?
16276Would I withdraw the blank I have put into the Redeemer''s hand?
16276Yesterday I went to a meeting of----, who lay great stress on good morals; but, O my God, what could I do, shut up with them?
16276Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?
16276_______________"Is this the kind return, Are these the thanks we owe-- Thus to abuse eternal love, Whence all our blessings flow?
16276_______________"My God, thy service well demands The remnant of my days: Why is this feeble life preserved, But to repeat thy praise?
16276am I not better to thee than ten friends?
16276am I not called to decamp and follow after?
16276and again repeated,''Who died for all?''
16276and did she mention me, and leave me her blessing?
16276and has he not disappointed all your gayest hopes, and fed you with husks?
16276and hast thou not prepared their hearts to answer, Behold, we come unto thee, for thou art the Lord our God?
16276and is it my wish, as well as form of prayer, that the Lord may give that in kind and degree which he sees fittest for me?
16276and the three holy, harmless, zealous Moravian brethren?
16276art thou the Father of my fatherless children?
16276did she expect death?
16276does not the blood of Christ cleanse from all sin?
16276dost thou The invitation yet renew?
16276in days of trouble didst thou not work in them the fruits of labor and patience, so that for thy name''s sake they labored and fainted not?
16276in the valley of the shadow of death shall thy rod and staff support us?
16276or what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria, to drink the waters of the river?
16276profitable for this life as well as that which is to come?
16276rejoice that he has given you the heritage of his people-- leave the rest to him:''Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?''
16276shall not that land be greatly polluted?
16276the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?''
16276the effects were seen on thy sacred body, but who can conceive the mysterious horror which agonized thy sacred soul?
16276was she sensible?
16276was the nurse who was with her a good woman?
16276what does not this name comprehend?
16276where now Thy boasted victory, O grave?
16276who shall deliver me from this body of sin and death?''
16276why is thy countenance sad?
16276wilt thou be the stay of these orphans, and their and my shield in a strange land?
16276wilt thou care for us?
16276wilt thou cover us with the shadow of thy wing?
16276wilt thou perfect what concerns us?
16276wilt thou_ never leave us, never forsake us_?
16276with what temporal comfort, and how has the Lord dealt with your soul?
30619And who is he that will harm you, if ye be zealous of that which is good? 30619 Do you not recognize,"they bragged,"the holiness of this entire congregation, among whom God dwells, daily performing his marvelous wonders?"
30619Even if it does go ill with us,he would argue,"what indeed is our suffering in comparison with the unspeakable joy and glory to be revealed in us?
30619For who hath known the mind of the Lord? 30619 Is Jehovah among us, or not?"
30619Oh, who would not desire peace and comfort?
30619Think you,our wise ones would say to him,"that you alone have the Holy Spirit, or that no one else is as eager for honor as yourself?"
30619What did you in the summer time that you gathered nothing?
30619What fruit then had ye at that time in the things whereof ye are now ashamed? 30619 What then?"
30619Why have you led us out of Egypt?
30619Why make divisions and differences,Paul inquires,"in the doctrine and faith of the Church, which rests wholly upon the one Christ?
306191, 8):"Hast thou considered my servant Job?
3061913 And who is he that will harm you, if ye be zealous of that which is good?
3061919 What then is the law?
3061921 Is the law then against the promises of God?
3061921 What fruit then had ye at that time in the things whereof ye are now ashamed?
306193 Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
3061934 For who hath known the mind of the Lord?
3061935 or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
30619Again, even though we are somewhat weak, is that any reason for saying all is lost?
30619Again, why should I labor and toil for naught?
30619And how so?
30619And it will ever be true as Saint Paul says:"For who hath known the mind of the Lord, or who hath been his counselor?"
30619And since then, what has become of all the proud, haughty tyrants, who proposed to oppress and crush Christianity?
30619And then, further to illustrate this, he says:"Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?"
30619And what are the sufferings of all men combined when compared with Christ''s agony and conflict, in that he sweat blood for thee?
30619And what did we under the papacy but walk blindly?
30619And what does it avail if you are not able to say more than that God is merciful to the good and will punish the wicked?
30619And what earthly thing is more desirable to man''s sight?
30619And what is lacking with the moon and stars and the earth?
30619And what must not one endure at court before he realizes, if he ever does, the fulfilment of his ambition?
30619And what shall we say of those who will not endure the preaching of the glorious message of God''s grace and blessing, but condemn it as heresy?
30619And wherefore slew he him?
30619And who is to have any more respect for the righteousness of the Law if we are to preach in that strain?
30619And whom do they serve?
30619And why should I not throw away all the Scriptures?
30619Are the people thereby made better?
30619As Moses says in Deuteronomy 4, 7:"What great nation is there, that hath a god so nigh unto them, as Jehovah our God is whensoever we call upon him?"
30619But how do they conduct themselves?
30619But how is it to avoid service?
30619But how will it be in the day of revelation?
30619But the flesh asks: What do I know of God or his will?
30619But they who are not Christians-- what have they but a terrible sentence like a weight about their necks?
30619But thinkest thou I will remain silent and unprotesting?
30619But to what purpose?
30619But what are the blessings for which Paul''s prayer entreats?
30619But what are we to do?
30619But what is God''s attitude toward such conduct?
30619But what is your pain measured by the eternal glory prepared for you and obtained by the sacrifice of your Savior Jesus Christ?
30619But whence arises the world''s hatred?
30619But who among men recognizes us as children of God?
30619But who can discern the anguish of creation?
30619But whom other than themselves have the Jews to blame for their condition?
30619But whoso hath the world''s goods, and beholdeth his brother in need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how doth the love of God abide in him?"
30619But why do you make so much of your sufferings and never give a thought to what awaits you in heaven?
30619But why multiply words?
30619But with the great mass of the people, how long did faith last?
30619But you may say:"What?
30619Can you not be mindful of your environment-- that you are still in the world where vice and ingratitude hold sway?
30619David says( Ps 139, 7- 8):"Whither shall I go from thy Spirit?
30619Did we not long ago tell you he would meet such fate?
30619Do you forbid good works?
30619Do you know why and whereunto you have been baptized, and what it signifies that you have been baptized with water?
30619Do you not acknowledge the necessity of political laws, of civil governments?
30619Each one says: Why should I incur so much danger, opposition and hostility?
30619Filled with astonishment, he exclaimed: What shall I say more?
30619For human wisdom knows no better; and how could it know better without the revelation?
30619For in your own judgment, what better thing could you have than is the Christian''s in his Gospel and his faith?
30619For what is better and nobler than a quiet, peaceful heart?
30619For what other person is profited by your entering a cloister, making yourself peculiar, refusing to live as your fellows do?
30619For wherein can persecution harm if you strive for godliness and abide in it?
30619For who would not wish to belong to such a Lord and Creator?
30619Grace is opposed to sin and destroys it; how then should it strengthen or increase it?
30619He is compelled to exclaim:"Alas, who knows how God will look upon my efforts?
30619He says, commenting on Psalm 17,"What is Law without grace but a letter without spirit?"
30619Hence it continued to be hidden and incomprehensible to such wisdom, as Saint Paul says:"For who hath known the mind of the Lord?"
30619How can I think myself better than another by reason of my person or my gifts, rank or office?
30619How can he be expected, then, to render a greater service-- to even lay down his life for his brother?
30619How can he teach us?
30619How can the works of the Law be good and precious, and yet repulsive and productive of evil?"
30619How can this poor, sinful, miserable, filthy, polluted body become like unto that of the Son of God, the Lord of Glory?
30619How can we poor, miserable mortals grasp this mystery of the Trinity?
30619How could Cain be unmerciful and inhuman enough in his frenzy to murder his own flesh and blood?
30619How could I be proud and presumptuous enough to boast myself the servant of the Lord Jesus Christ?
30619How could we introduce through the Gospel a doctrine countenancing evil?
30619How dare you then assert that such righteousness is misleading, and obstructive to eternal life?
30619How do we know we have passed from death unto life?
30619How does man lay hold of the Saviour in the heart?
30619How manifest your love, humility, patience and meekness if you are unwilling to live among men?
30619How many new saints, new brotherhoods, new psalms to Mary, and new rosaries and crowns did the monks daily invent?
30619How much more then should God''s testament be honored intact?
30619How shall I be supported?
30619How shall I do it?
30619How shall we stand and answer in his sight when we can not deny the fact that our life gives just cause for complaint and offense?
30619How would they measure up in the greater duty of laying down their lives for the brethren, and especially for the Christian Church?
30619How, then, does Paul come to speak so disparagingly, even abusively, of the Law, actually presenting it as veritable death and poison?
30619How, then, is he in a position to say that they were abundantly supplied with all things spiritual, lacking not one thing?
30619I answer: Why do you not complain to him who committed the office to me?
30619If God''s supreme, unfathomable love fails to awaken the gratitude of the world, what wonder if the world hates you for all your kindness?
30619If reason is to be my teacher in these things, what need is there of faith?
30619If the question be asked,"Why do so?
30619If we are not to wonder at this, is there anything in the world to incite wonder?
30619If we fully and confidently believed this, then of what should we be afraid or who could do us harm?
30619If you ask, Whence such a disposition?
30619If you employ reason from mere love of disputation, why not devote it to questions concerning the daily workings of your physical nature?
30619In other words: How is it possible that because grace should destroy sin ye should live unto sin?
30619In this assurance will I pass out of life; not in uncertainty and anxiety, thinking, Who knows what sentence God in heaven will pass upon me?"
30619In whom?
30619Indeed, do you not admit that God himself commands such institutions and wills their observance, punishing where they are disregarded?
30619Indeed, how can you serve your neighbor by such a life?
30619Indeed, where should we dare look for them except where no people live?
30619Is it all that is necessary to assert: God will reward with heaven such as are faithful to the order?
30619Is it not a horrible thing that any man should shun and oppose such a Savior and his doctrine even more than he does the devil himself?
30619Is it not better, then, to be free from the service of sin and to serve righteousness?
30619Is it not in faith that we are to be rooted, engrafted and grounded?
30619Is it not insupportable that a perishable worm, be he emperor or prince, should presume to apprehend God in heaven?
30619Is it not much rather, as reason dictates and as all the world affirms, a disgrace to his followers that he lies there in prison?
30619Is it not our doctrine that Christ first loved us, as John elsewhere says?
30619Is it not right to lead an honorable, virtuous life?
30619Is it not surpassing strange that one can hate those who love him and from whom he has received only kindness?
30619Is it right for one to despise or dishonor God''s Law?
30619Is not a chaste and honorable life a matter of beauty and godliness?
30619Is our God one to permit us to wander for forty years in the wilderness until we all perish?"
30619Is the apostle overbold in that he dares thus to assail the Law and say:"The Law is not only a lifeless letter, but qualified merely to kill"?
30619Is the gold responsible for its use?
30619Is their Christ such a one as they honor by their lives?
30619Is there nothing else in store for the Christian but to die and be buried?
30619Is there something more than mere words-- or letters, as Paul says?
30619John''s thought is: The Law has indeed been given by Moses, but what avails that fact?
30619Just so did Miriam and Aaron murmur against Moses, their own brother, saying:"Hath Jehovah indeed spoken only with Moses?
30619Just what does he mean?
30619Know you whom you have apprehended and murdered?
30619Let there be no caviling and contention on the score of possibility; be satisfied with the inquiry: Is it the Word of God?
30619Moreover, what virtues, of all man possesses, serve him better than humility, meekness, patience and harmony of mind?
30619Nevertheless, they submit and wait-- for what?
30619Now, in what was the prophet lacking?
30619Now, what care we that reason should regard it as foolishness?
30619Now, what is the pride of all men toward God?
30619Now, why is"the face of the Lord"upon evil- doers and what is its effect?
30619Of what use is it for you to hate, chafe and curse against its attitude?
30619Or what more than I has another to boast of before God concerning himself?
30619Or, where will he find protection and defense, to abide in his godly ways?
30619Otherwise why say they so much about it?
30619Paul says in 1 Corinthians 10, 22:"Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy?
30619Paul takes up this matter and asks the question,"What then is the Law?"
30619Shall all rise together?
30619Shall those living on the earth at the last day meet Christ before others?
30619Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
30619Shall we not perform any good works?
30619Should Christ not revenge himself when they shamed and mocked his precious blood?
30619Should we not condemn as a heretic this preacher who goes beyond his prerogative and dares find fault with the Law of God?
30619Similarly today, Papists, Anabaptists and other sects make outcry:"What mean you by preaching so much about faith and Christ?
30619Take all the wisdom, justice, jurisprudence, artifice, even the highest virtues the world affords, and what are they?
30619The rude crowd cried: Oh, is it true that great grace follows upon great sin?
30619Then why should we be surprised if he send down wrath upon us?
30619Then why this bitter hatred against me and my message?"
30619Therefore he begins his sermon by inquiring, in this sixth chapter( verses 1- 3):"What shall we say then?
30619This being the case, where would be the need to pray?
30619To whom do these minister?
30619To whom, then, is their service given?
30619Two mighty lords clash with each other like powerful battering rams, and for what?
30619We read:"Are we beginning again to commend ourselves?
30619We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein?"
30619Well does he say to the Jews through the prophet:"O my people, what have I done unto thee?
30619What am I to do?
30619What answer shall we make?
30619What are earth and ashes proud of?
30619What are you-- your powers and abilities, or those of all men, to effect this glorious thing?
30619What assistance can he render you?
30619What can the combined might of all creatures accomplish if God oppose himself thereto?
30619What did not the Son of God incur for you?
30619What does God care for the honor you seek from the world when you defy his Word with it?
30619What does he mean?
30619What does it signify that I show my love by hazarding life and limb to sustain this doctrine of the Gospel and help my neighbor?
30619What does that concern the spiritual estate?
30619What greater dishonor can Christians suffer than to have their ministers and pastors-- their instructors and consolers-- shamefully arrested?
30619What if I should die?"
30619What if the world, abiding in death, does hate and persecute you who abide in life?
30619What incentive is there for any to render the world service when in ingratitude it rewards love with hatred?
30619What injury have they done thee?
30619What is a single penny measured by a world of dollars?
30619What is it compared to the glory to be revealed in us?
30619What is more desirable than to be freed from sin and the punishment and misery it involves, and to possess a joyful, cheerful heart and conscience?
30619What is temporal suffering, however protracted, contrasted with eternal life?
30619What is the Law after all, however much you may preach it to me, but that which makes me feel the weight of sin, death and condemnation?
30619What is the nature of the prayer Paul here presents?
30619What is the sighing and longing of creation?
30619What is the world doing now?
30619What more noble than, for the sake of Christ, to incur danger, to suffer injury, to aid the poor and needy?
30619What more terrible retribution could their hatred and envy receive?
30619What occasion, then, for divisions or for further seeking?
30619What offense had godly Abel committed against his brother to be so hated?
30619What pleasure or gain had you in it?
30619What right has such a soul to boast-- how can he know-- that Christ has laid down his life for him and delivered him from death?
30619What shall I say but that thou hast imprisoned and bound, not Paul, but me?
30619What sin against the world did the beloved apostles commit?
30619What term significant of greater abomination could he apply to God''s Law than to call it a doctrine of death and hell?
30619What then shall we do, you say, when we must suffer such abuse and without redress?
30619What unheardof talk is this?
30619What were you?
30619What will become of him who lives a God- fearing and humble life, suffering the insolence, pride and wantonness of the world?
30619When Moses and the Law are made to say:"You should do thus; God demands this of you,"what does it profit?
30619When we die-- spiritually unto sin, and physically to the world and self-- what doth it profit us?
30619Whence did they derive their righteousness?
30619Where is he now?
30619Where now shall we find those who keep this commandment?
30619Where then do they stand who entertain wrath and hatred indefinitely, for one, two, three, seven, ten years?
30619Where will the untaught masses stand?
30619Who can sufficiently magnify or utter God''s grace?
30619Who comes to know God or to have a peaceful conscience by such practices on your part, or who is thereby influenced to love his neighbor?
30619Who desires peace and comfort?"
30619Who equals Luther as a translator?
30619Who is benefited by your cowl, your austere countenance, your hard bed?
30619Who is this second person?
30619Who may stand before him?"
30619Who robs you of your honor but yourself, by your own theft, your contempt of God, disobedience, murder, and so on?
30619Who says the creature is in travail or unwillingly suffers its present state?"
30619Who will assure you that you are good and that you are pleasing to God with your papistic, Turkish monkery and holiness?
30619Who would not praise and exalt such virtue?
30619Who, unless he would be a cursed heretic in the eyes of the world and invite execution as a blasphemer, would dare to speak thus, except Paul himself?
30619Whom can its hatred injure?
30619Whose fault will it be but your own since you would not hear Paul''s admonition to walk wisely and circumspectly?
30619Why can not we take his view of the insignificance of our afflictions and the magnitude of the future glory?
30619Why do we teach the ten commandments at all?
30619Why does Paul choose this method?
30619Why is it?
30619Why not exalt the future glory also?
30619Why should I seek therein righteousness before God?"
30619Why should such a one fear death?
30619Why this hostility?
30619Why will we have so much to say about great sufferings and their merits?
30619Why will you bring down your fist and stamp your foot in anger at such ingratitude?
30619Why, then, does John say,"We have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren"?
30619Why, then, does Paul here substitute"love?"
30619Why, then, should we presume, with our reason, to compass and comprehend the eternal, invisible essence of God?
30619With such a faith, how much better were we than the heathen and Turks?
30619Would you not call these things faults and shortcomings?
30619Yea, how could we guard ourselves against any deception and lying nonsense that might be offered as good works and as service of God?
30619Yes, why complain even were you, in some measure, to endanger body and life?
30619Yet what would be all that compared with one who is named and chosen by God himself, and called his son, the heir of exalted divine majesty?
30619You may again object,"If what you say is true, why observe temporal restrictions?
30619and wherein have I wearied thee?
30619are we stronger than he?"
30619do the words result in life and spirit?
30619enter the heart of a Christian upon the occasion of a little trouble?
30619for instance, where are the five senses during sleep?
30619hath he not spoken also with us?"
30619he asks,"shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace?"
30619if you so strenuously adhere to your self- appointed orders as to allow your neighbor to suffer want before you would dishonor your rules?
30619in particular to further the Word of God and to support the ministry, the pulpit and the schools?
30619just how is the sound of your own laughter produced?
30619or need we, as do some, epistles of commendation to you or from you?
30619or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
30619or who hath been his counsellor?
30619or who hath been his counselor?
30619or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?"
30619that before we ever loved him he died and rose again for us?
30619that upon obedience to them depends the maintenance of discipline, peace and honor?
30619that you are, as the phrase goes, with"those who return evil for good"?
30619we who do not understand the operation of our own physical powers-- speech, laughter, sleep, things whereof we have daily experience?
30619what fault committed?
30619where has God commanded it?"
30619who shall deliver me out of the body of this death?"
30619why dost thou permit me to suffer this?"
39092''Sun and night serve mortals,''says Euripides-- but why us more than the ants or the flies? 39092 And who tells you this-- that you have equal power with Zeus?
39092Are not all things ruled according to the will of God? 39092 But are leaves and our bodies so bound up and united with the whole, and are not our souls much more?
39092But whence am I to get a fine cloak? 39092 But you do not believe,"he said,"that souls are allotted to one body after another, and that what we call death is transmigration?
39092But,asks Tatian( c. 16),"why should they get_ drastikôteras dynameôs_ after death?"
39092Could he have done anything else?
39092Did you see Socrates and Plato?
39092Do n''t you see, my dear sir?
39092Do you think,said Epictetus,"that all things are a unity?"
39092GODS OR ATOMS?
39092How did Christianity rise and spread among men?
39092How_ can_ you escape from the judgment of hell?
39092If the dead have consciousness, would she wish you to be so overcome of sorrow?
39092To whom then shall I recite prayers? 39092 Well then, do you not think that things earthly are in sympathy(_ sympathein_) with things heavenly?"
39092What are we to do?
39092What says Zeus? 39092 What sea- captain is there that does not carry his mirth even to the point of shame?
39092When the day was over and Sextius had gone to his night''s rest, he used to ask his mind(_ animum_):''what bad habit of yours have you cured to- day? 39092 Where is the wonder?"
39092Which is ampler?
39092Who among men had any knowledge of what God was, before he came? 39092 Who shall change one of their dogmata[ the regular word of Epictetus]?
39092Why am I wasted for desire of him, who is either happy or non- existent? 39092 Why should it be lawful( for a Christian),"he asked,"to see what it is sin to do?
39092Why was he not sent to the sinless as well as to sinners? 39092 With what right(_ iure_) Marcion, do you cut down my wood?
39092[ 108] This isa peace not of Cæsar''s proclamation( for whence could he proclaim it?)
39092[ 126]What do you want with prayers?"
39092[ 136] Does Homer''s poetry do honour to the gods( c. 14)--do the actors on the stage( c. 15)? 39092 [ 147] Marcion, for instance, is"sick( like so many nowadays and, most of all, the heretics) with the question of evil, whence is evil?
39092[ 151]Why do you,"he asks,"act the part of a Jew, when you are a Greek?
39092[ 153] But have the churches been faithful in the transmission of this body of doctrine? 39092 [ 157] And then he rejoins, Do you think nativity impossible-- or unsuitable-- for God?
39092[ 32] Besides would God need to descend in order to{ 248} learn what was going on among men? 39092 [ 34] Then why not long before?
39092[ 36]Ye see what is the pattern that has been given us; what should we do who by him have come under the yoke of his grace?
39092[ 40]If he had wished to send down a spirit from himself, why did he need to breathe it into the womb of a woman?
39092[ 66] When a man boasts of moral progress, of his freedom from avarice, what, asks Horace, of other like matters? 39092 [ 72] And again:"Why debate?
39092[ 76] When they all say''Believe, if you wish to be saved, or else depart''; what are those to do who really wish to be saved?
39092[ 80] Again, the body is the prison of the soul; should there not then be warders of it-- dæmons in fact? 39092 [ 84]"Where then are we to track out God, Plato?
39092[ 90] How are we to meet at all, asks the anxious Christian, unless we buy off the soldiers? 39092 [ 90] Is it not likely that these"satraps and ministers of air and earth"could do you harm, if you did them despite?
39092[ 96]Must my leg then be lamed?
39092how many of those who crowd around and gape for Christian blood?
39092... What else can I do, a lame old man, but hymn God?
39092.... What thinkest thou?
39092After all nearly every religion has, somewhere or other, what are called"good ethics,"but the vital question is,"What else?"
39092Again do not our resolves also find their way to God, uttering a voice of their own?
39092Again, when Sodom is destroyed why does the holy text say"The Lord rained upon Sodom and Gomorrha sulphur and fire from the Lord from heaven"?
39092And are not some things also wafted heavenward by the conscience?
39092And how could all this be, if his body were not true?
39092And is there none to teach them stealth and sin?
39092And meanwhile, what was the audience doing, while he stood there tied,{ 326} waiting interminably for the lion?
39092And the gladiatorial shows?
39092And then the dog- faced Egyptian in linen-- who is he to bark at the gods?
39092And then who are those who practise abortion?
39092And where are truth and experience?
39092And who among{ 223} men could set this forth in words?
39092And who is he?
39092And who told thee that the gods do not help us even to what is in our own power?
39092And without a change of dogmata, what is there but the slavery of men groaning and pretending to obey?
39092Animæ_, 2,_ unde igitur naturalis timor animæ in deum, si deus nan novit irasci?
39092Are not the pagans guilty of Atheism, at once in not worshipping the true God and in persecuting those who do?
39092Are we not content with the unanimous authority of mankind?
39092Are we to bid a man to lend a hand to the shipwrecked, point the way to the wanderer, share bread with the hungry?
39092Are words and acts holy as religious symbols which in a society are obviously vicious?
39092Are you surprised a man should go to the gods?
39092As to the Christian story, what could have attracted the attention of God to her?
39092As to the idea that Christians eat children to gain eternal life-- who would think it worth the price?
39092At what cost were they written?
39092Below, is it not the same for them as for you?
39092Both handle the same questions:"Whence is evil, and why?
39092But does not this vapour theory do away with the other theory that divination is mediated to us by the gods through the dæmons?
39092But if a disembodied soul can foresee the future, why should not a soul in a body also be able?
39092But might not one study pagan literature?
39092But what of the man of genius who wrote them?
39092But whither?
39092By what licence, Valentinus, do you divert my springs?
39092Can I have done anything like a free man, or a noble- minded?
39092Children ask father and mother for bread-- will they receive a stone?
39092Could anything be more beautiful than this habit of examining the whole day?
39092Could the church do with them?
39092Did Abraham keep the Sabbath, or any of the patriarchs down to Moses?
39092Did Jove forget Crete for Rome''s sake-- Crete, where he was born, where he lies buried?
39092Do you recognize them, Trypho?
39092Do you see, then, the abyss of atheism that lies at our feet, if we resolve each of the gods into a passion or a force or a virtue?
39092Does Superstition ne''er your heart assail Nor bid your soul with fancied horrors quail?
39092Does a varied diet or a single dish help the digestion more?
39092Elsewhere he gives us a parody of self- examination-- the reflections of one who would prosper in the world--"Where have I failed in flattery?
39092Fool, have you not hands, did not God make them for you?
39092For to what better and more careful watch(_ phylaki_) could He have entrusted each of us?
39092For what soul of a man would any longer wish for a body that{ 253} had rotted?
39092For who is not stirred up by the contemplation of it to find out what there is in the thing within?
39092Good-- but prithee say, Is every vice with avarice flown away?
39092Had the Christian any law?
39092Has some comparative fallen out, or does_ his_ conceal another name?
39092He can not bear a dirty man,--"who does not get out of his way?"
39092He who fears"the gods of his fathers and his race, saviours, friends and givers of good"--whom will he not fear?
39092Hermogenes denies God''s title in this case; which then of the other means does he prefer?
39092His admirers to- day speak of him as one whose question was always"Is it true?"
39092How can I blaspheme my King who saved me?
39092How could men have spat in a face radiant with"celestial grandeur"?
39092How could the Telearch of Chæronea under the Roman Empire understand Pericles?
39092How did God come to use matter?
39092How long would it seem?
39092How long would it take to bring and to let loose the lion?
39092I do not deny it; who is not?
39092If Typhons and Giants were to drive out the gods and become our rulers, what worse could they ask?
39092If one looked from heaven, would there be any marked difference between the procedures of men and of ants?
39092If the one, why not hunt them down?
39092If the other, why punish?
39092If they have not, why pray?
39092In his name why?
39092In the last resort is ecstasy, independently of morality, the main thing?
39092Is it a little thing with you to strive with men?
39092Is it unworthy of God?
39092Is it_ ihs_, in fact,--a reference to Jesus analogous to the suggestion of Celsus that he too was a magician?
39092Is not all the philosophers''talk about God?
39092Is there not a hint of the school about this?
39092Is there not for them the same descent, wherever it lead?
39092It is the setting in which God has placed"the shadow of his own soul, the breath of his own spirit"--can it really be so vile?
39092It was believed by Christians that in baptism the sins of the earlier life were washed away; but what of sins after baptism?
39092Larentina?
39092Let us assume for purposes of discussion that there could be a"descent of God"--would it be what the Christians say it was?
39092Man, what then?
39092Mankind are apt to look twice at the piety of a ruler, and the old question of Satan comes easily,"Doth Job serve God for naught?"
39092Nero should ask himself"Am I the elected of the gods to be their vice- gerent on earth?
39092No,"where is the likeness between the philosopher and the Christian?
39092None the less the centre of interest was the same for them as for us-- what_ is_ the significance of Jesus of Nazareth?
39092Now whom do you mean by the sinner but the wicked, thief, house- breaker, poisoner, temple- robber, grave- robber?
39092Ought we not, in digging or ploughing or eating, to sing this hymn to God?
39092Plants and trees and grass and thorns-- do they grow for man a whit more than for the wildest animals?
39092Quis enim bib contemplatione eius concutitur ad requirendum quid intus in re sit?
39092Quorsum ista retulimus?
39092Shall I swear''by Jove the stone''(_ per Iovem lapidem_) after the most ancient manner of Rome?
39092Should they throw the dice to find out to whom to turn?
39092Silk and purple and pearls are next dealt with-- and earrings,"an outrage on nature"--if you pierce the ear, why not the nose too?
39092Sterculus?
39092Tertullian had to face a similar criticism of Christian life-- was Abraham_ baptized_?
39092That curious story, too, of the boy falling down in his presence?
39092The Christian must not philosophize, they said-- Tertullian said it too; but how could they know they must not philosophize unless they philosophized?
39092The Jew is referred back to the righteous men of early days-- Was Adam circumcised, or did he keep the Sabbath?
39092The arbiter of life and death to the nations?"
39092The gods were part of the past of the ancient world, and if Reason took them away, what was left?
39092The other sort perplexed him--"Why can you not judge for yourselves?"
39092The worn- out frame dragged the spirit with it, and he died with the cry--"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
39092Then is it not better to use what is in thine own power and be free, than to be set on what is not in thy power-- a slave and contemptible?
39092Then shall I no longer be?
39092Then those mysterious"somethings"which Apuleius keeps{ 230} wrapped up in a napkin?
39092They demanded to know how they stood with the gods-- were the gods many or one?
39092This is what men were doing and saying around him-- but why?
39092This work has many names; it is called gift[ or grace,_ chárisma_], enlightenment, perfection, baptism.... What is wanting for him who knows God?
39092To lie against God as if He forbade us to do good on the Sabbath day, is not that impiety?
39092Was it by accident that Joseph the carpenter gave all his five sons names that stood for something in Hebrew history?
39092Was it not in my power to lie?
39092Was it true-- this story of the ass?
39092Was she pretty?
39092Was the hen or the egg first?
39092What cause is there that the gods should do good?
39092What done or left undone?
39092What father was ever so unnatural(_ anósios_)?
39092What gods?
39092What harm is there in not having sinned?
39092What have I to do with circumcision, who have the testimony of God?
39092What if laws do forbid Christians to be?
39092What in all this could tempt a man to face the lions?
39092What is its destiny?
39092What need of that baptism to me, baptized with the holy spirit?
39092What of sky, earth and sea?
39092What propellent power lies behind the morals?
39092What then does Lucian make of human life?
39092What then indeed is Being?
39092What then is to be said of Plutarch''s religion?
39092What then was the knowledge given unto him?
39092What then?
39092What too(_ ib._ 6) of barbarians and their souls, who have no"prison of Socrates,"etc?
39092What was it that had made the"ancient character"?
39092What was new in the new religion, in this"third race"of men?
39092What was the origin of evil?
39092What was the real disease?
39092What was the ultimate difference between the old Roman and the Roman of the days of Antony and Octavian?
39092What would Socrates do?
39092What, asks the prosecution, is the meaning of this curious interest Apuleius has in fish?
39092Where are those laws now?
39092Which gods?
39092Which is more perfect, to forbid adultery or to bid refrain from a single lustful look?
39092Which of Aphrodite''s hands did Diomed wound?
39092Who saw the dove, or heard the voice from heaven, at the baptism?
39092Who talks in a finished style unless he wishes to be affected?
39092Who wished this end for his soldier-- who but he who sealed him with such an oath of enlistment?
39092Who would choose such a change?
39092Whole burnt offerings and your sacrifices and the fat of goats and the blood of bulls I will not... Who has sought these from your hands?
39092Whom else would a brigand invite to join him?
39092Why could they not philosophize and say nothing?
39092Why did I say that?
39092Why does an Emperor wish to be called"the eldest son of the church?"
39092Why he rather than any of the"ten thousand others"who might much more plausibly be called the Messiah?
39092Why is fresh water better than salt for{ 85} washing clothes?
39092Why should not we too live after the model of Socrates, studying philosophy and obeying our dæmon?
39092Why should the innocent age hasten to the remission of sins?
39092Why should the things, which''coming out of the mouth defile a man,''seem not to defile a man when he takes them in through eyes and ears?
39092Why should there be?
39092Why, but from vanity and folly?
39092Why?
39092Why?
39092Will you not willingly surrender it for the whole?
39092With ribbons is it adorned-- or with graves?
39092Would not the play have been better named_ Brutus_?
39092Would not the son of Moses have been strangled, had not his mother circumcised him?
39092Would you call him Nature?
39092Would you call him Providence?
39092Would you call him Universe?
39092Would you call him fate?
39092Would you propitiate the gods?
39092You do n''t believe that in beasts and fishes dwells the mind(_ animum_) that was once a man''s?

12605Who will shew us any good?
12605*****"So runs my dream: but what am I?
126052. Who was Jesus Christ?
12605AND WHAT OF SIN?
12605Again, Do you fear because of coming duties or trials which you can not but anticipate?
12605Again, What_ parish_ does not stand in need of such a quickening?
12605And did_ they_ deny the divine origin of the Jewish religion?
12605And how was that missionary sermon received?
12605And if all this holds true of man now, what reason have we for doubting that it shall hold true of man for ever?
12605And if so, when shall we reach the end of that awful chain which is in the hand of God?
12605And if so, why do we think it strange that an individual should have his times of comparative spiritual darkness and light, strength and weakness?
12605And if so, why should the possession of_ immediate_ peace, in a degree corresponding to faith in God, seem to be so wonderful?
12605And in what, moreover, does the happiness of the angels consist, but in sharing this life of God?
12605And is there not another book, even"_ the_ Book,"which may also be opened at judgment as a witness for the Triune God in His dealings with mankind?
12605And now let us ask, What shall be the history of the Church during the rest of this century?
12605And shall we think it strange to believe God''s Word the moment we hear it?
12605And tell me, is there not inexpressible comfort in this love which mourns over sin as the greatest loss and the greatest sorrow?
12605And what is their punishment?
12605And what was her salutation?
12605And what would the bravest soldiers accomplish in the day of battle, if they asked the same question in vain?
12605And whence is their excitement derived?
12605And where then will that other world be which to many is now so dim and unreal as not to be worth thinking about?
12605And who are these?
12605And why should not this feeling be suddenly kindled?
12605And why should we not_ at once_ believe God?
12605And will Jesus ever answer those accusations?
12605Any firm practical conviction in the fact of future punishment?
12605Are the apostles now ignorant of each other?
12605Are we to examine the opinions of all the various"churches,""sects,"or"bodies,"professing Christianity, in order to determine what it is they profess?
12605Ask them, then, and what will be their reply?
12605Be it so; but surely the_ kind of_ truth which must be spoken must ever regulate the manner in which it is spoken?
12605Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?
12605Besides, however real Christ''s sympathy was with sorrow of every kind, why did He express it on this occasion more than on any other?
12605But apart from this evidence, what, we would ask, is there in the nature of conversion inconsistent with its alleged suddenness?
12605But are there any willing to labour?
12605But could such a one have been a blasphemer?
12605But did He wish to give the impression that He was nothing more?
12605But did he add,"Make me a hired servant?"
12605But has God any work to do in our souls?
12605But how are we to obtain a satisfactory reply to this question?
12605But how is this to be accounted for if they believe a lie?
12605But if He was not this, how can the character of those teachers be defended?
12605But if so, we ask you, reader, what evidence of Christian life can you adduce better or more satisfactory than all this?
12605But in what spirit does he plead with them?
12605But is not the primitive Church system of union and mutual co- operation essential to the very idea of a Christian_ society_?
12605But let us further inquire, What shall be its results with reference to the righteous?
12605But perhaps you fear the future lest you should not"redeem the time"as you ought to do to the glory of God?
12605But was not"the view"of Jesus himself and His apostles the"orthodox"one?
12605But were not these things all the while in our memory, although unnoticed by us until called forth by fitting circumstances?
12605But what can the unbeliever himself expect to gain by its destruction?
12605But what if there is to be no such bodily pain?
12605But what mean these tears?
12605But what means this?
12605But what power will develop this force?
12605But what says the apostle himself?
12605But what was the substance of their teaching, and the one grand object of their existence?
12605But what, let me ask, separates us from that world which we think to be so very far off-- so very unreal?
12605But whatever you have been or done in time past, what do you intend to be and to do_ now_?
12605But when?
12605But who will so love me as to carry my crushing burden of sin?
12605But would he have dared to record such a vision, unless he believed Jesus to have been Divine?
12605But, my brother, why should you thus think of God, and so fear to think of the future?
12605Can Christ be appealed to either as to their falsehood, or for exculpatory evidences of genuine repentance or new life?
12605Can Moses, for instance, yet fully comprehend his own life in its relation to the Jewish nation, whose fate is still involved in darkness?
12605Can any man be satisfied with such a basis of religion as this?
12605Can not that love be seen in its own light when revealed?
12605Can retreats be secured where God''s Word may be read and prayer enjoyed with more undisturbed repose?
12605Can the synagogue sing David''s psalms with more truth than the church?
12605Can these accusations, if false, be disproved?
12605Can we even retain_ the character of Jesus?_ The atheist admits that Jesus was the greatest man who ever lived on earth.
12605Can we preserve_ the character of the apostles?_ That, too, has hitherto been considered worthy of our respect and regard.
12605Can we, then, accept of Christ as a perfect example?
12605Could John have written such things of a mere man?
12605Could a pious Jew have done so without conscious blasphemy?
12605Dare_ we closely follow a life like this, and then end it by voluntarily giving ourselves up as a ransom"for the remission of the sins of many?"
12605Did Jesus now weep from mere human sympathy with sisters mourning for a dead brother?
12605Did he lead to hell or heaven?
12605Do any remain whom death threatened to remove during the past year?
12605Do we address one who is a professed unbeliever in the truth, or rather, who"believes a lie,"--that there_ is_ no Saviour?
12605Do you wonder that they called Him a blasphemer?
12605Do you, for example, fear the future because it is unknown?
12605Does he anticipate daily returning mercies and sources of enjoyment more rich and varied than those possessed here, in order to bring him back to God?
12605Does he wish, for example, to relieve oppressed souls of some great burden which crushes them?
12605Does it mean that Lazarus was to die?
12605Does it seem strange that men should have at once believed Christ, or any of His apostles, when_ they_ preached?
12605Does not history turn on the influence exercised by the first and second Adam?
12605Does this not look like a coming struggle?
12605Doth not that omnipotent Spirit of light and love, who uniteth all in one, and who hath led the Church of Christ from grace to glory, dwell in thee?
12605Enter upon the labours and duties of the year with joy I Art thou not a fellow labourer with thy brother saints and angels, yea, even with thy God?
12605For how did you depart from God before?
12605For once we have lost Jesus Christ as our ever- living, ever- present, all- sufficient Friend and Saviour, what are we to do?
12605For what is death to sin?
12605For what was the source and strength of his life?
12605For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I of Apollos; are ye not carnal?"
12605Friends, neighbours, look along the road, watch the brow of that distant hill, look along that valley, and see if there are any signs of His coming?"
12605Had he been a Papist, he might have said--"Why thus divided?
12605Had not their whole history been determined by their adherence to God, or their falling away to idolatry?
12605Has He ever expressed any wish as to what He would have us believe, become, or enjoy, or revealed for what end or purpose He made our spirits?
12605Has He laid no command upon us to"work out our own salvation with fear and trembling?"
12605Has Jesus, then, actually refused to aid them?
12605Has all been fruitless and dead?
12605Has prayer neither been offered in truth, nor answered in love?
12605Have all Christians been deceived?
12605Have any, have many, been a comfort to you?
12605Have beloved ones been given to you during the year-- such as a wife, a husband, or a child?
12605Have they been believing a lie, and has this great life of life in them been sustained by a delusion?
12605Have you any faith in our Lord''s teaching?
12605Have you been blessed with_ bodily_ health?
12605Have you been blessed with_ mental_ health?
12605Have you done no good?
12605Have you enjoyed no peace in believing, nor gained any victories over self and sin?
12605Have you possessed no more calm and habitual fellowship with God?
12605Have you received other mercies connected with your_ temporal_ well- being?
12605Have your anxieties regarding the temporal or spiritual well- being of others been lessened?
12605Having fled from Christianity as a religion whose foundations are insecure, can he repose with confidence in the building which he himself has reared?
12605Having rejected God as revealed in Jesus,_ can_ he peril his soul in peace on the God discovered by himself?
12605How did he endeavour to effect this?
12605How do we deal there with what claims to be truth?
12605How is this possible?
12605How is this product of character, which is affecting the world''s history, and gradually leavening the whole lump of humanity, to be accounted for?
12605How it is that we pretend to be one when attacking Papists, and then turn our backs on each other when left alone?
12605How shall we fulfil the end of our being?
12605How shall we obtain life eternal?
12605How should_ He_ be thought of at all amidst the awful solemnities of that day, and be singled out and appealed to as one of such authority and power?
12605How stands the case now?
12605How will you then stand the reading of your autobiography?
12605I do not ask whether the Christian religion is true, but only, What is the Christian religion?
12605If He was a mere creature, how could He have used language to which it was_ possible_ to give such an interpretation as would imply Divinity?
12605If I give up faith in Christ, what wouldest thou have me be and do, and how live and rejoice as an immortal being?
12605If Jesus neither knew Him truly, nor truly revealed Him, who can do either?
12605If any man replies that those sayings of Christ_ may_ be interpreted differently, then I ask, What impression did Christ_ intend_ to give?
12605If it is_ possible_, must it not be so?
12605If sin is thus possible, then why may not the sinner indulge there in the same selfishness, disobedience, and rebellion which characterised him here?
12605If the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ is not the only living and true God, where is the true God to be found?
12605In our conduct to our brother, let us ask ourselves, Is this how Christ would have acted to any one with whom He came in contact when on earth?
12605In what position do we thus find ourselves?
12605Is it a confession of faith?
12605Is it an expression of confidence only in His power?
12605Is it possible that the true God can be thus apprehended and loved through a medium so false as idolatry?
12605Is it your intention to continue in sin?
12605Is not every truth, too, with which we are already acquainted linked to another and a higher truth?
12605Is not our hope well- nigh lost regarding many a parish; and what but the quickening and reviving power of God''s Spirit can restore it?
12605Is there any other conceivable gain, then, which would accrue to the unbeliever by his supposed success?
12605Is there any secret of strength and comfort by which we can with courage and hope encounter all the possibilities of the future?
12605Is there no such person as Jesus Christ, the Lord of life, the living Saviour of sinners?
12605Is this all?
12605Is this helping on His work now?
12605Is this how men picture to themselves the place in which they expect to atone for past sins by limited suffering?
12605Is this not a fact but a fiction?
12605It is asked, indeed, in triumph, What employments can there be in heaven for saints?
12605It pains them-- it agonises them-- to put the question,"What is to become of me when I die?"
12605It would be very difficult, I think, to put a more serious question to ourselves than this,_ What is to become of its after death_?
12605Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip?
12605Judas leaves that company; and what was there in things visible to make him suspect even that an awful moment of life-- his last-- had come?
12605Life or death-- health or sickness-- joy or sorrow-- good or evil?
12605Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
12605Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name?
12605Men can be easily roused to_ sudden_ earnestness, in order to save their bodies, when they realise present danger; and why not to save their souls?
12605Men would still ask, What if we are responsible to God for this whole inner and outer life of ours, with its beliefs, purposes, and actions?
12605Must not the end of all things come before they understand the place and the work their Lord assigned to them?
12605Need I add, as the last grand result of judgment, that the Triune God will be glorified?
12605Neither presbyter nor bishop, neither Paul nor Apollos,_ anything_?
12605Nevertheless, why should not conversion itself, apart from its antecedents or consequents, be sudden?
12605Not willing even to be on kind, or perhaps on speaking terms with a brother minister?
12605Now, to what is this great result owing?
12605Now, what did Paul say of the dignity of this Person?
12605Of what avail is His coming now?
12605On what part of Christ''s"work"on earth can we fall back?
12605Once more, Do you fear the future, lest you should sin and depart from God as you have done in the past?
12605Or does it not rather evidence unbelief?
12605Or is her heart so torn by distracting thoughts, that for a moment she knows not what to do?
12605Or is it to Him the same whether we are wrong or right?
12605Or, does it not seem more strange that some were"fools, and slow of heart to believe?"
12605Or, though he may in mercy return again and again, what if the eye gets blinded by the very light which it rejects?
12605Our Active Life FUTURE PUNISHMENT WHAT AFTER DEATH?
12605Read over any page now, peruse the life of any day, and ask, Has this been the life of one who believes there is a God to whom he is responsible?
12605Reflect on what He_ could_ have done and could do, if He disliked you as you dislike Him, and say, How can you continue in your enmity?
12605Shall Sabbaths of more peaceful rest dawn upon the troubled heart, or sacraments of more healing virtue be administered?
12605Shall strangers, heathen, publicans and sinners, be promptly heard and answered, and Lazarus whom He loved forgotten?
12605Shall the future be a similar record to the past?
12605The Judge 2. Who are to be Judged?
12605The cup of the"Man of sorrows"was always full; what caused it thus to run over?
12605The most willing church- member gazes over a great city, and asks in despair,"What am I to do here?"
12605The other question which I would humbly suggest for consideration is this:--What is your real belief in reference to man''s future state?
12605The_ morality of the New Testament?_ No!
12605Time passes: has the Saviour yet received the tidings of their grief?
12605To restore Lazarus to life-- to a world of sin and temptation, again to die-- was this the best for_ him_?
12605To restore the brother to his sisters-- was this best for_ them_, taking into account every circumstance of their history within and without?
12605To the question,"What wilt thou that I should do unto thee?"
12605True, Satan is a liar; but is_ this_ testimony a lie?
12605WHAT AFTER DEATH?
12605WHAT CAN WE BELIEVE IF WE DO NOT THUS BELIEVE IN JESUS?
12605WHAT IF CHRISTIANITY IS NOT TRUE?
12605WHAT IS CHRISTIANITY?
12605WHO ARE TO BE JUDGED?
12605WHO WAS JESUS CHRIST?
12605Was it morally possible that He could have uttered what He did about Himself, unless it was true?
12605Was it possible for Job''s friends to interpret,_ at the time_, Job''s sufferings?
12605Was it that she had not heard of the arrival of Jesus, or of Martha having gone to meet Him?
12605Was that man an idolater and blasphemer,--the dupe of his own fancy,--deceived in his faith and hopes,--or was he the ignorant deceiver of others?
12605Was there no excitement on the day of Pentecost when thousands were crying out,"What shall we do to be saved?"
12605We ask such a one to consider what the certain, or even_ probable_ consequences will be to him, if all we have said is nevertheless true?
12605Well, then, what are you to do?
12605What are we to conclude from these unparalleled facts, which can no more be denied than the realities of human history or of human experience?
12605What can we Believe if we do not thus Believe in Jesus?
12605What did Christians find him to be as a fellow- Christian?
12605What did_ they_ believe regarding Him?
12605What does_ he_ say of the exalted privilege of being able to baptize?
12605What example did he set?
12605What has this man as a father, husband, or child, done?
12605What if Christianity is not True?
12605What if sin and its consequences continue beyond the grave, with no remedy there unless found here?
12605What if the sin which makes the hell hereafter, is, in spite of all its suffering, loved, clung to, even as the sin is which makes the hell now?
12605What if the wicked shall be punished only by permitting them to"eat the fruit of their own way, and to be filled with their own devices?"
12605What is Christianity?
12605What is it which we have most to complain of as an obstacle to the gospel?
12605What is its present working power?
12605What is needed more than a revival among our_ preachers_, before we can look with hope for a revival in our missions?
12605What means this deep calm and quiet at such a time beside the troubled waters of the Jordan?
12605What means this?
12605What of such questions as,--What shall become of us in eternity?
12605What power has originated it, or by what has it been sustained?
12605What shall the results be of such a searching, impartial, and conclusive investigation into the history of mankind?
12605What shall we do to be saved?
12605What temper and conduct did he manifest at home?
12605What things?
12605What think ye?
12605What was his heaven?
12605What was his influence as a companion?
12605What was the one object of his holy ambition?
12605What will happen during this year to ourselves and to those whom we love?
12605What will put an end to the proud antagonism, the Popery, the Church idolatry of Protestantism?
12605What will the coming twelve months bring to me and mine?
12605What would a thousand of our best workmen do in a large factory, if they entered it with willing hands, yet having no place or work assigned to them?
12605What"name"is this in which many prophesied, and by which many were able to cast out devils, and to do marvellous works?
12605What, then, I again ask, would be lost and gained on both sides after the war, in the event of Christianity being destroyed?
12605What, then, have we left us?
12605What, then, was the apostle''s method of curing schism, and of making men truly one who had been"divided?"
12605What?
12605What_ may_ be-- what_ must_ be-- what_ ought_ to be?
12605When it dies and is buried, who will wear mourning at its funeral?
12605Wherefore, then, dost thou dishonour God and His word by unbelieving fear?
12605Who are more entitled to give a reply to such questions than Christians themselves?
12605Who is right-- Mr Greg or----?]
12605Who is this that is addressed as"Lord, Lord?"
12605Who is this that utters the sentence,"Depart from_ me_?"
12605Who is this who claims my unreserved faith, my unlimited obedience, my devoted love?
12605Who is this who promises to pardon my sins through faith in His blood; to purify and perfect my nature through faith in His power?
12605Who is this, I ask with absorbing interest, whom I am commanded to honour as I honour the living God?
12605Who is this, we naturally ask after hearing them, who at the general judgment is to be addressed by"many?"
12605Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name?
12605Why do they think so?
12605Why should He?
12605Why should he be disposed to fight against them instead of against the common enemy?
12605Why should he be jealous of their achievements?
12605Why should this inherent love of action, and delightful source of enjoyment, so refined and elevated, be annihilated?
12605Why weep with those whose tears were shed in ignorance only of the coming event which was so soon to dry them?
12605Why, then, with so much to do through a living agency, and with a great army of living agents yet unemployed, is there so little done?
12605Why?
12605Will the gospel be preached more faithfully, and a people be found more loving and pious to assemble for public or private worship?
12605Will we assist him in tempting others to evil,--in entangling souls more and more in the meshes of sin,--in propagating error and opposing truth?
12605Will we, then, work with him in his desire to destroy our own souls?
12605Will your scoff at God''s revelation of the future prevent the dead from rising, or the Judge from appearing?
12605Will your thinking, or saying, that the whole is a fiction, make it so?
12605With what care do we examine her credentials?
12605With what spirit do we listen to her voice?
12605Would a God be more acceptable, and appear with greater moral beauty, who was different from the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ?
12605Would it be a relief to our moral being to be freed from the privilege or duty of supremely loving Jesus Christ?
12605Would it be glad tidings to hear that men were not to be born again, nor to repent, nor to deny themselves, nor to do God''s will, but their own?
12605Would it lighten our hearts to be freed from the burden of having communion with Him in prayer?
12605Would not its absence be more so?
12605Would you have_ dared_ to speak in anything like this strain of blasphemy to the holy Saviour had you met Him?
12605Yea or nay, did they recognise Him as Divine?
12605Yet how can any statistics carry to our hearts a sense of what has been done for immortal souls by the gospel during this eventful period?
12605Yet surely not without some message of consolation?
12605Yet what has such a tendency to do all this as sorrow, and the very trials which we so much deplore?
12605Yet, what if all the good is lost through our blindness, ignorance, hardness of heart, pride, self- will, and unbelief?
12605_ He hath spoken blasphemy_; what further need have we of witnesses?
12605_ Why should ye be stricken any more?_ Ye will revolt more and more!"
12605_ Why_, for example, has this or that happened?
12605and has He given no intimation of His"working in us to will and do?"
12605and in thy name done many wonderful works?
12605and in thy name have cast out devils?
12605and is there knowledge with the Most High?"
12605and producing, too, we dare to add, such strong faith and affectionate reverence towards this God, as exist in no other human bosoms?
12605and who is He that such a sentence should be an object of dread, yea, the very climax of human woe?
12605and your labour for that which satisfieth not?
12605does he exclaim?
12605for with whom does the man work when he works in opposition to the will of God?
12605hast thou not taught in our streets?
12605have we not done many wonderful works in thy name?
12605he asked,"could ye not watch with me one hour?"
12605he_ that hath seen me hath seen the Father_; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
12605not able to hear the gospel preached from the lips of a minister of another church, nor to remember Jesus with him or his people?
12605or did He weep because He mourned their own lost faith in His love to them?
12605or, as a vessel remains a wreck in the midst of the breakers after the life- boat which comes to save the crew is dismissed?
12605or, as the lion remains after the telescope is flung aside which revealed his coming, and revealed also the only place of safety from his attack?
12605or, knowing all this, shall we be prevented from communicating our histories to others?
12605some hope held out of relief?
12605upon One who declared it to be a legitimate source of joy to every mother that a child was born to the world?
12605upon One whose love to all whom He has made is to our love as the light of the mighty sun to a fire- fly''s spark wandering in darkness?"
12605what is it which these witness against thee?
12605who could tell_ that?_--who ever thought of_ that?_ To them it seemed that death ended all that was reality, and began all that was visionary.
12605will He refuse to help His own beloved friend?
42518Do you hear that bell tinkling in the morning?
42518Do you think you will hold on?
42518Doth God take care for oxen? 42518 Doth the ploughman plough all day to sow?"
42518Doth the ploughman plough all day to sow?
42518Doth the ploughman plough all day to sow?
42518Doth the ploughman plough all day to sow?
42518Doth the ploughman plough all day?
42518Doth the ploughman plough all day?
42518Doth the ploughman plough all day?
42518Doth the ploughman plough all day?
42518Doth the ploughman plough all day?
42518Doth the ploughman plough all day?
42518Doth the ploughman plough all day?
42518Doth the ploughman plough all day?
42518Doth the ploughman plough all day?
42518Doth the ploughman plough all day?
42518Doth the ploughman plough all day?
42518Have I long in sin been sleeping, Long been slighting, grieving thee? 42518 If the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldst thou not have done it?"
42518If thine arm offend thee--hang it in a sling?
42518If thine eye offend thee--wear a shade?
42518Is Christ divided? 42518 Is your father a Christian?"
42518My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
42518No,say you;"how can that be?"
42518Oh,say you,"will it actually come to death?"
42518Shall horses run upon the rock? 42518 Shall horses run upon the rock?
42518Shall horses run upon the rock? 42518 Shall horses run upon the rock?
42518Should it be according to thy mind?
42518Surely you do not object to my having a little more sleep?
42518What is that for?
42518Wherefore do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which satisfieth not?
42518Who can stand before his cold?
42518Who can stand before his cold?
42518Who can stand before his cold?
42518Why do you tell your child a thing twenty times?
42518Why hast thou sent me,says he,"to a people that have ears but hear not?
42518Why,says one,"not our sin?"
42518A Christian man working not at all for his Lord; how shall I speak of him?
42518A father?
42518A master?
42518A minister?
42518A preacher may preach without conversions, and who shall blame him?
42518A servant?
42518A slothful professor''s heart is tinder for the devil''s tinderbox; does your heart thus invite the sparks of temptation?
42518A teacher?
42518A_ Christian_ man on half time?
42518Afraid for the infinite Jehovah that his purposes will fail?
42518After a powerful sermon he has not enjoyed his meals, or been able to sleep, for he has asked himself,"What shall I do in the end thereof?"
42518After the germ has been put forth, can you make it further grow, and develop its life into leaf and stem?
42518Am I told that this was because his death would be the completion of his example, and the seal of his preaching?
42518And is this a little offence, to snatch from his brow the crown, and from his hand the sceptre?
42518And so, when unconscious, and drugged to relieve pain, you will begin to think of your soul?
42518And what is there, brethren, that is so fit for the heart, the mind, the soul of man, as to know God and his Christ?
42518And what next?
42518And what, think you, are the feelings of the minister?
42518And when the frost pinches us so severely, why should it not be continued month after month?
42518And when the green, grassy blade has been succeeded by the ear, can you ripen it?
42518And when you have thus been up and down, what next?
42518And while she was sitting there, what happened?
42518And who would wish that idlers should be happy?
42518And why is it, my friends, why is it that God gives the cattle the grass?
42518And why should grace have visited you or me-- why?
42518And will you make your bed upon them when you come to die?
42518And, oh, what a joy of harvest you will have then?
42518Another soul begins to sing in heaven; why do you weep, O heirs of immortality?
42518Answer each one for himself-- Dost thou believe on the Lord Jesus Christ?
42518Are my fellow- laborers afraid that Jeshurun will wax fat and kick, if he has too much food?
42518Are not all thorns and thistles meant to be teachers to sinful men?
42518Are not these things to be left to a higher wisdom?
42518Are the best of our Christian young men always going to stay at home?
42518Are the missions of the churches of Great Britain always to be such poor, feeble things as they are?
42518Are there fruits?
42518Are they not in thy book?"
42518Are thistles to be your principal crop?
42518Are thy necessities large?
42518Are we bound to persevere till we are worn out by this unsuccessful work?
42518Are we giving our religion the chief place or not?
42518Are we thus shining?
42518Are you going to preach, young man?
42518Are you really saved, and are you negligent in the Lord''s work?
42518Are you so simple as to expect the harvest before you have passed through the springing- time?
42518Are you sown of the Lord?
42518Are you sown of the Lord?
42518Are you to go swaggering down the streets of heaven, letting fall an oath, or singing a loose song?
42518Are you under the Lord''s care?
42518Are you?
42518Art thou still a piece of the bare common or wild heath?
42518As the poet sings:"What more can he say, than to you he hath said,-- You who unto Jesus for refuge have fled?"
42518Because there is a pleasure in looking at a Scotch thistle, do you intend to grow acres of pleasurable vice?
42518Beloved, are you producing anything else?
42518Brethren, are we careful enough as to our religious walk?
42518Brother worker, are you getting a little weary?
42518Burn the wheat?
42518But how may a good workman for Christ lawfully go to sleep?
42518But how shall we thank him sufficiently for the thaw of his lovingkindness?
42518But is there not a way of saving men without the grace of God?
42518But what if the ploughing should never lead to sowing; what if you should be disturbed in conscience, and should go on to resist it all?
42518But who is to be the judge of the suitability of your trial?
42518But will you go there at all?
42518Can I lend you a hand?
42518Can I show you how to work better?
42518Can it be possible that the Spirit is entirely absent?
42518Can nothing else be done?
42518Can such an atonement be offered in vain?
42518Can the Most High hear it and not be pressed down beneath its weight?
42518Can you bear to think of being divided from godly friends for ever and ever?
42518Can you expect that God shall pass by wilful and deliberate offences?
42518Can you make a seed germinate?
42518Canst thou trust him, and yet be cast away?
42518Cease ye, cease ye, from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
42518Come, dear friend, will you be a corn of wheat laid up on the shelf alone?
42518Could you wish your child to descend to earth again from the bliss which now surrounds her?
42518Did I not begin by saying that because we were sheep he deigns to compare himself to a sheep?
42518Did I not hear you sing the other day--"''Tis a point I long to know"?
42518Did I not say just now that the sheep, by struggling, might be cut by the shears?
42518Did he cast doubt upon the unquenchable fire and the undying worm?
42518Did he conceal the sinner''s peril?
42518Did he lull souls into slumber by smooth strains of flattery?
42518Did he not once speak to the rock, and turn the flint into a stream of water?
42518Did it come from that dear hand which was nailed to the cross?
42518Did not our Lord say,"I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye can not bear them now"?
42518Did she stretch forth her hand and take the food herself?
42518Did the Spirit of God drop eternal life into your bosom?
42518Did you ever bring a penny into the till by fretting, or put a loaf on the table by complaint?
42518Did you not hear the other day of the alderman who died in his carriage?
42518Didst thou carry home thy sack, filled like those of Joseph''s brothers, when they returned from Egypt?
42518Didst thou have a soul- enriching season among the sheaves the other Sabbath?
42518Didst thou have an abundance?
42518Do I address any aged ones whose lease must soon run out?
42518Do I address the lecherous, or the oppressive, or the profane?
42518Do these people come to our assemblies because it is respectable to attend a place of worship?
42518Do we in the morning sow our seed, and in the evening still stretch out our hand?
42518Do we sow beside all waters?
42518Do you experience such keeping?
42518Do you feel the joy of harvest, the joy that makes you wish that others should share with you?
42518Do you know what_ nature_ is?
42518Do you mean to continue in that state for ever?
42518Do you not remember reading in the Scriptures that, upon one occasion, the disciples could not cast out a devil?
42518Do you not see where you are?
42518Do you not think it is even more necessary to ask a blessing on our troubles before we get into them?
42518Do you recollect that auspicious day when at last you began to have some little hope?
42518Do you recollect those many Sundays when you said to yourself,"Let me go to my chamber and fall on my knees and pray"?
42518Do you say that yonder green stuff is wheat?"
42518Do you see how it is overgrown with thorns and nettles?
42518Do you, brethren, use all your opportunities?
42518Does Jehovah keep his covenant with cattle, and will he not keep his covenant with his own beloved?
42518Does another whisper,"Oh that I might be saved"?
42518Does he keep you?
42518Does it not occur to us at once to give the word to those who will have it, and leave the despisers to perish in their own wilfulness?
42518Does not prudence itself dictate it?
42518Does not reason say,"Let us send this medicine where there are sick people who will value it?"
42518Does the Lord work with us?
42518Does the sharp ploughshare touch thee just now?
42518Does your life begin and end with him?
42518Dost thou do so?
42518Dost thou feel the power of the Word?
42518Dost thou require great mercy?
42518Doth not the wife share with the husband?
42518Earth asks,"Why should I yield at harvest to the sinner''s plough?"
42518Echo answers, Why?
42518Faith cometh by hearing, and how can there be hearing if there is no teaching?
42518For which of all my works dost thou insult me?"
42518Friend, if you have any religion, how did you get it?
42518Go ye to Jerusalem, where of old was the city of his glory and the shrine of his indwelling, and what is left there to- day?
42518Go ye to Rome, where once Paul preached the gospel with power: what is it now but the centre of idolatry?
42518God gives the increase in the barn and the hay- rick; and in the spiritual farm it is even more so, for what can man do in this business?
42518Going to put it off to the last hour or two, are you?
42518Had you not better attend to your fences at once?
42518Has he not said,"I have refined thee, but not with silver, I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction"?
42518Has he not said,"I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me"?
42518Has the seed of the Word never been sown in thee?
42518Has the world my heart been keeping?
42518Hast the ploughshare never broken up the clods of thy soul?
42518Hast thou been the chief of sinners?
42518Hast thou never sought to pull up the weeds of sin that grow in thy heart?
42518Hast thou never watered the young plants of desire?
42518Hath not Jesus bidden the believer to be baptized?
42518Hath not the Lord declared that he hath chosen his vineyard and fenced it?
42518Have we not there tasted the sweetest and most sustaining of all spiritual food?
42518Have we not thousands of hearers who receive the word with joy?
42518Have you a concern about these things?
42518Have you a fine- spun righteousness of your own?
42518Have you any faith in yourself?
42518Have you ever noticed that whenever the Lord afflicts us he selects the best possible time?
42518Have you ever searched to the bottom of your profession?
42518Have you ever seen a patient man insulted?
42518Have you forgotten that you are nothing?
42518Have you never heard of a person walking in the fields into whose bosom a bird has flown because pursued by the hawk?
42518Have you never heard those accents?
42518Have you not heard of persons who fall dead at their work?
42518Have you turned over that question, or have you gone at it hit or miss?
42518He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
42518He comes with the word of promise and the smile of brotherly love at once, and he says to the new believer,"Have you confessed your faith?
42518He goes to his Master with,"Who hath believed our report, and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?"
42518He maketh the grass to grow all alone, and shall he not make you flourish despite your loneliness?
42518Hear again:"Turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?"
42518Here is your dear child likely to die; will you not, dear parents, meet together and ask God to bless the death of that child, if it is to happen?
42518How can I plant with success if my helper will not water what I have planted; or what is the use of my watering if nothing is planted?
42518How can a man be void of understanding who has a field and a vineyard?
42518How can you love your neighbor as yourself if you do not love his soul?
42518How canst thou judge of what is good for thee?
42518How comes it that there is within the ripe seed the preparations for another sowing and another growth?
42518How could it be?
42518How does he do this?
42518How far is all this to be attributed to a neglectful church?
42518How is it done?
42518How long do you suppose it was before I saw that woman?
42518How many are there of this sort here?
42518How shall men hear without a teacher?
42518How shall we escape from this very knowing and very captious sluggard?
42518How shall we survive the censures of this dogmatic person?
42518How wilt thou escape if thou wilt neglect so great salvation?
42518How would it have fared with you had you also been smitten while riding at your ease?
42518However, instead of asking what the church has been doing for this nineteen hundred years, let us ask ourselves, What are we going to do now?
42518I am about to teach a difficult subject; will it do any good?
42518I delight to think of heaven as_ his_ barn;_ his_ barn, what must that be?
42518I have chosen an abstruse point of theology; will it serve any purpose?"
42518I know we each one have some power to serve God; do we use it?
42518I suggest to you young people especially that, in starting life, you say to yourselves,"What shall we live for?
42518If God blesses"the springing thereof,"dear beginners, what will he not do for you in after days?
42518If a new laborer comes on the farm, and he uses a hoe of a new shape, shall I become his enemy?
42518If he did so what would remain to be believed?
42518If he does his work better than I do mine, shall I be jealous?
42518If it were not for this fact with what despairing agony should we utter the cry of Esaias,"Who hath believed our report?
42518If men once said,"There is corn in Egypt,"may they not always say that the finest of the wheat is to be found in secret prayer?
42518If the Law of heaven were as swift to punish as the law of man, where were we?
42518If the Lord says this can any of us complain?
42518If you and I were in God''s place, should we have borne it?
42518If you cut down the blades, where will the ears come from?
42518If you do not sow your faith by using it, how can it grow?
42518If, as some tell us, the ethical part of Christianity is much more to be thought of than its peculiar doctrines, then, why did Jesus die at all?
42518Indeed, the Lord has to restrain the servants of his anger, for the heavens cry,"Why should we cover that wretch''s head?"
42518Is Jesus your life?
42518Is glory the end and outcome of that which fills our home with mourning?
42518Is it a matter of soul- concern with you to be reconciled to God, and to have an interest in Jesus''precious blood?
42518Is it in dissipation that your life is to be spent?
42518Is it not an insult to God''s_ wisdom_?
42518Is it not because_ he has opportunities which he does not use_?
42518Is it not generally understood that you must measure a man''s understanding by the amount of his ready cash?
42518Is it not growing dreadfully likely that you will die in your sins and perish for ever?
42518Is it not so?
42518Is it not time that you bestirred yourself?
42518Is it not to separate it from the straw and the chaff?
42518Is it not written,"I will bring them under the rod of the covenant"?
42518Is it not written,"Of his own will begat he us by the word of truth"?
42518Is it not written,"So he giveth his beloved sleep"?
42518Is not that a suggestive metaphor?
42518Is not that enough?
42518Is not the time come for an open confession?
42518Is not this common sense?
42518Is not this good reasoning?
42518Is not this the way of wisdom?
42518Is that it?
42518Is that word true to your soul,"I the Lord do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day?"
42518Is the eternal happiness of the righteous the birth which comes of their death- pangs?
42518Is the love of Jesus the principal wheat with us?
42518Is there any bliss like the bliss of knowing that you are in Christ, and are the beloved of the Lord?
42518Is there any room for patience now?
42518Is there any secret corner of your heart which you will keep for Jesus?
42518Is there here a wayside hearer?
42518Is there no one here that will trust the Saviour?
42518Is there not a promise,"In due season we shall reap, if we faint not"?
42518Is there one who prays within himself,"God be merciful to me a sinner"?
42518Is there such a being?
42518Is this a thing to be winked at?
42518Is this a trifle?
42518Is this going to last forever?
42518Is this the spirit of Christ?
42518Is this wise?
42518It is fine talk, certainly; but doth the ploughman plough all day?
42518It may be at the first seeking I may not find; what then?
42518It may happen that at my first asking I shall not receive; what then?
42518It will be ripened; but can_ you_ do it?
42518Kept by the eternal Spirit of God, shall there not be produced in us fruits to his glory?
42518Know ye not that the church is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all?
42518Knowest thou anything about this?
42518Listen:"Doth the ploughman plough all day?"
42518Man, hast thou never cultivated thy heart?
42518May I next ask you to look into_ your own house_ and home?
42518May there not come a day when the millions of London shall worship God with one consent?
42518Might he not have said,"Friend, why doest thou this?
42518Moreover,_ sin makes God''s creatures unhappy_, and shall not the Lord, therefore, abhor it?
42518Must I work always where nothing comes of it?
42518Must his preachers continue to cast pearls before swine?
42518My brethren, is not meditation the land of Goshen to you?
42518Need we enlarge upon this terror?
42518Note again that, if it be not farmed for God,_ the soul will yield its natural produce_; and what is the natural produce of land if left to itself?
42518O rock, wouldst thou become like wax?
42518O rock, wouldst thou dissolve into rivers of repentance?
42518O sinner, why do you not trust Jesus Christ?
42518O ye who are sore wounded in the place of dragons, I hear you cry, Doth God always send terror and conviction of sin?
42518Oftentimes, when otherwise you might have hesitated, you will say,"The vows of the Lord are upon me: how can I draw back?"
42518Once with the unthinking many, he cried,"Who will show us any good?"
42518Or are you a Christian?
42518Or can you show me how I can improve?
42518Or is it that their coming helps to make them comfortable in their sins?
42518Or saith he it altogether for our sakes?"
42518Or will you choose a life of pleasure--"a short life and a merry one,"as so many fools have said to their great sorrow?
42518Others, again, are very heavily pressed; but what of that if they are a superior grain, a seed of larger usefulness, intended for higher purposes?
42518Ought not the Lord to have a harvest of obedience, a harvest of holiness, a harvest of usefulness, a harvest of praise?
42518Ought they not to be put in an asylum?
42518Our fields are parched if vernal showers and gentle dews are withheld, and what are our souls without the gracious visitations of the Spirit?
42518Out of that all- encompassing horror he crieth,"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
42518Persecuting Saul became loving Paul, and why should not that person be saved of whose case you almost despair?
42518Pilate cries,"Answerest thou nothing?
42518Poor, simple, weak- hearted, and troubled one, look to Jesus and answer, Can such a Saviour suffer in vain?
42518Remember how Paul put it:"Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos?"
42518Satan or the world will walk in; and do you wonder?
42518Shall I bring the gospel plough?
42518Shall I laugh at that which made my Saviour groan?
42518Shall I stand here and rain tears upon this hard highway?
42518Shall I toy and dally with that which stabbed him to the heart?
42518Shall Jesus''lips give the invitation, and will you say him nay?
42518Shall Omnipotence be defeated?
42518Shall coin be your principal corn?
42518Shall he come and find you sleeping?
42518Shall horses run upon the rock?
42518Shall insignificant nobodies rob God of his glory?
42518Shall it always be so?
42518Shall it always be the lot of God''s ministers to be trifled with?
42518Shall it be so?
42518Shall it not be so?
42518Shall one plough there with oxen?
42518Shall sin ever be a trifle to me?
42518Shall the Holy Spirit produce less fruit in you than that which you yielded under the spirit of evil?
42518Shall the horses always plough upon the rock?
42518Shall the oxen always labor there?
42518Shall the preacher continue his fruitless toil?
42518Should a child select the rod?
42518Should the grain appoint its own thresher?
42518Sinner, can you hope to enter heaven?
42518Sinner, dost thou know that every act of disobedience to God''s law is virtually an act of_ high treason_?
42518Sinner, wilt thou have him or no?
42518Sinner, wilt thou not give up thy sins for the sake of him who suffered for sin?
42518So much as this we may know, and is it not enough for all practical purposes?
42518Some discourses do little more than show the difference between tweedle-_dum_ and tweedle-_dee_, and what is the use of that?
42518Some may say, Why does not the believer reap all the field, and take all the corn home with him?
42518Some of you were whole- hearted enough when in the service of the evil one, will you be half- hearted in the service of God?
42518Suppose we sow the fields with sawdust, or sprinkle them with rose- water, what of that?
42518The Lord''s husbandry upon us has shown a great expenditure of cost, and labor, and thought; ought there not to be a proportionate return?
42518The Lord-- is he always to be resisted and provoked?
42518The Sabbath is a wearisome day to you; how can you hope to enter into the Sabbath of God?
42518The cattle pasture upon that which satisfies them; why should not I obtain satisfaction too?
42518The grain of wheat when it is put into the ground dies; do we mean that it ceases to be?
42518The legible handwriting of Satan is upon you-- can you not see the blots?
42518The text, with the connection, runs thus:"Does not the husbandman cast in the principal wheat?"
42518Then will I ask all day?
42518There is a principal thing for which we ought to live, what shall it be?"
42518These people have been preached to, taught, instructed, admonished, expostulated with, and advised; shall this unrecompensed work be always performed?
42518They have no cares now; the shop is given up, they live in the country; they have not to ask,"Where shall the money come from to meet the next bill?"
42518They have religion?
42518This is a mournful state of things, is it not?
42518This soil is rock; can we not sow it without breaking it?
42518This work of God having proceeded in the growth of the seed, what next?
42518Thou canst trim thy body, and spend many a minute at the glass; dost thou not care for thy soul?
42518Threescore years old and yet unsaved?
42518Travellers toward the North Pole tremble as they think of this question,"Who can stand before his cold?"
42518WHAT IS THE JOY OF HARVEST which is here taken as the simile of the joy of the saints before God?
42518WHAT JOYS ARE THOSE WHICH TO THE BELIEVER ARE AS THE JOY OF HARVEST?
42518Was it self- sown?
42518Wast thou satisfied?
42518Watered with the drops of the Saviour''s bloody sweat, shall we not bring forth a hundredfold to his praise?
42518We have given them a fair trial; what do reason and prudence say?
42518We hold up our hands in glad astonishment and cry,"Who are these that fly as a cloud and as doves to their windows?"
42518We in England sin against extraordinary light and sevenfold knowledge; and is this a light thing?
42518We must not expect to find the best field next to our own house, we may have to journey to the far end of the parish, but what of that?
42518We will ask it of men who plough their own farms; do they recommend perseverance when failure is certain?
42518Were you ever present at the scene when they drive them down to the brook?
42518What answer can we give?
42518What are you living for?
42518What brings these senseless sinners here?
42518What but crime and infamy?
42518What but mere smoke?
42518What but sin and misery?
42518What but thorns and nettles, or some other useless weeds?
42518What but unholiness and vice?
42518What can you and I do in this matter?
42518What could the Lord do for us more than he has done?
42518What did our Lord say?
42518What do I find provided in Scripture?
42518What dost thou do but seek to be God thyself, thine own master, thine own lord?
42518What dost thou know about it, poor sufferer?
42518What good comes of fretting?
42518What has become of them?
42518What has he as the result of all his honors?
42518What has he got by his wealth?
42518What has the church been doing all these years?
42518What have I to do but to feed on these truths?
42518What if God should say,"I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down"?
42518What if all the other laborers became Hodgeites and Hobbsites, and so parcelled out the farm among them?
42518What is death?
42518What is growing in his mind and character?
42518What is sin?
42518What is that for?
42518What is the natural produce of this great city if we leave its streets, and lanes, and alleys without the gospel?
42518What is the natural produce of your children if you leave them untrained for God?
42518What is the natural produce of your heart and mine?
42518What is the object of threshing the grain?
42518What is the use of preaching to him?
42518What is the use of zeal abroad if there is neglect at home?
42518What is there to hinder it?
42518What is this vital principle, this secret reproducing energy?
42518What is to hinder your dying with a spade in your hand?
42518What is your position, dear friend?
42518What is your principal aim?
42518What is"nature"?
42518What more could he have done for his farm?
42518What must the tender, loving, gracious Jesus have meant by the words,"Gather the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them?"
42518What saith he?
42518What saith the Saviour?
42518What shall I do for you?
42518What shall we do?
42518What then is the springing up of piety in the heart?
42518What then?
42518What then?
42518What then?
42518What then?
42518What think you, friend?
42518What was the use of disturbing himself?
42518What will come out of all else?
42518What will you say to excuse yourself, for opportunities lost, time wasted, and talents wrapped up in a napkin, when the Lord shall come?
42518What worse than this can happen?
42518What"it"?
42518What, not by that matchless teaching?
42518What, not with all that holy living?
42518What, then, shall I say to you who are my Lord''s beloved?
42518When a father is going to correct his child, does he select something pleasant?
42518When are you going to do it, friend?
42518When the law comes forth thundering from its treasuries, who can stand before it?
42518When the rivers are hard frozen, and the earth is held in iron chains, then the melting of the whole-- how is that done?
42518When they smote him on the face with the palms of their hands, it would not have been wonderful if he had said,"Wherefore do you smite me so?"
42518When you and I preach or teach it will be well if we say to ourselves,"What will be the use of what I am going to do?
42518When you have gone right to the end of the field once, what shall you do next?
42518Where can we feed and lie down in green pastures in so sweet a sense as we do in our musings on the Word?
42518Where did she sit?
42518Where is it?
42518Where now your boastings and your loud- mouthed blasphemies?
42518Where now your confidence?
42518Where now your merriment?
42518Where now your pride and your pomp?
42518Wherefore do we doubt him?
42518Who among US shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
42518Who among US?
42518Who among us can look upon his life- work without some sorrow?
42518Who among us?
42518Who asked you to tremble for the ark of the Lord?
42518Who beat the big drum, or blew his own trumpet?
42518Who have most largely blessed the present age?
42518Who will have the most joy?
42518Why are certain men so extremely rocky?
42518Why do men come to hear if the word never enters their hearts?
42518Why do you happen to be members of a certain church?
42518Why is he void of understanding?
42518Why is it that certain"intellectual"folk can not get any good out of our soundest ministers?
42518Why is it that proud people seldom profit under the word?
42518Why must there be such a difference?"
42518Why need they fall into a ditch because their leader has splashed himself?
42518Why not ask a blessing on the cup of bitterness as well as upon the cup of thanksgiving?
42518Why not?
42518Why should not I obtain what I want?
42518Why should you want hailstones of terror?
42518Why stand ye all the day idle?
42518Why, then, plough the rock any longer?
42518Why, you can not create a fly, how can you create a new heart and a right spirit?
42518Will God bless our moral essays, and fine compositions, and pretty passages?
42518Will he hear those that can not speak, and will he not hear those who can?
42518Will it be always so?
42518Will it continue till the spirit fails and the soul expires?
42518Will it not be wise for you, also, to allow things to begin at the beginning, and to be satisfied with their being small at the first?
42518Will one in four of our hearers, with well- prepared heart, receive the Word?
42518Will one plough there with oxen?"
42518Will the great Husbandman bid his ploughmen spill their lives for nought?
42518Will you be a money- spinner?
42518Will you be like that wheat in the mummy''s hand, unfruitful and forgotten, or would you grow?
42518Will you make less sacrifice for Christ than you did for your sins?
42518Will you never believe in him of whom you hear so much?
42518Will you not eat of your own?
42518Will you recollect this?
42518Will you refuse Boaz?
42518Will you serve Christ less than you served your lusts?
42518Will you think of this?
42518Wilt thou believe in Christ?
42518Wilt thou trust thy soul in his hands at once?
42518Would any of you continue to pursue an object when it has proved to be hopeless?
42518Would you detain your dear wife here with all her suffering?
42518Would you have the tares and the wheat heaped up together in the granary in one mass?
42518Would you hold back your husband from the crown immortal?
42518Would you keep your old father here, full of pain, and broken down with feebleness?
42518Would you shut him out of glory?
42518Yes, he does; then if I am seeking Christ, ought I to be discouraged because I do not immediately find him?
42518You are afraid the kingdom of Christ will not come, are you?
42518You know the theory, but do you know the experimental power of this within your own spirit?
42518You never loved your mother''s God, and is he to endure you in his heavenly courts?
42518You never trusted your father''s Saviour, and yet are you to behold his glory for ever?
42518You or God?
42518_ Let us go from preaching the law to preaching the gospel._"Doth the ploughman plough all day?"
42518and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?"
42518but if he be happy, who shall excuse him?
42518but,"says one,"how can it be?
42518not begetting life in one spirit?
42518now the seed will grow, will it not?
42518or has it taken no root?
42518or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?"
42518that he is not moving in one soul?
42518was Paul crucified for you?
42518who_ among us_ shall abide with the devouring flame?
42518will one plough there with oxen?"
42518will one plough there with oxen?"
42518will one plough there with oxen?"
37274And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? 37274 Having loved_ His own_ which were in the world, He loved them"--how long?
37274He 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?
37274How can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
37274Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for My sake? 37274 O our God, wilt Thou not judge them?
37274Of what use,it might be argued,"can it be to uphold the standard when all is gone to pieces?
37274Open to what?
37274Peter said unto Him, Lord, why can not I follow Thee now? 37274 The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
37274The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
37274Then cometh He to Simon Peter; and Peter saith unto Him,''Lord, dost Thou wash my feet?'' 37274 What shall we say then?
37274When He makes bare His arm, Who shall His work withstand? 37274 Who art thou that judgest another man''s servant?
37274A grand reality, most surely: who could duly estimate it?
37274Abandon the ground in impatience, chagrin, and disappointment?
37274Again:"Wilt thou obediently keep God''s holy will and commandments, and walk in the same all the days of thy life?
37274All this is most true; but what right have we to imagine that Cornelius was praying, fasting, and giving alms in order to earn salvation?
37274And can aught be more unseemly than to see a number of people sitting, lolling, lounging, and gaping about while prayer is being offered?
37274And does He not act in various places?
37274And dost thou not know full well, reader, that there are two sides to this great question, as there are to every question?
37274And further, can we not distinctly recall the fact that there was a most decided setting aside of all human arrangement and official routine?
37274And further, let us ask, who was the most earnest, laborious, and faithful preacher that ever trod this earth?
37274And has He not?
37274And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?
37274And hence we can say, What may we not expect, seeing that Christ has died for us?
37274And how can we best reach the people, for whom the tracts and books are prepared?
37274And how do we get life?
37274And in the event of this, where is the difference between that assembly and the systems of men?"
37274And is it not comely and right so to do?
37274And must not the believer cross it?
37274And shall not God avenge His own elect, which cry day and night unto Him, though He bear long with them?
37274And then the question,"_ Who am I?_"In this we see the blessed fact that self was for the moment lost sight of.
37274And then what was to become of him if the prisoners were gone?
37274And were they not showing the way of salvation?
37274And what do they designate large- heartedness?
37274And what does he do?
37274And what has He said?
37274And what is the difference between the blood- stained lintel and the divided sea?
37274And what then?
37274And what, let me ask, was the effect of all this upon the heart of David?
37274And what, on the contrary, is a large and liberal heart?
37274And where do these virtues shine out?
37274And who has been preaching the gospel for the last eighteen centuries?
37274And why?
37274And why?
37274And why?
37274And why?
37274And, may we not ask, what more could be said in the Church''s brightest days?
37274And, on the same principle, how can a soul grow in the divine life, if he is always liable to doubt whether he has that life or not?
37274And, we may ask, is not He sufficient?
37274Are we affording any practical proof in daily life that Christ has died for us, and that we have died in Him?
37274Are we declaring plainly that we have passed clean over Jordan-- that we belong to heaven-- that we are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit?
37274Are we erecting our memorial?
37274Are we giving evidence-- such evidence as may strike even the mind of a child-- of the fact that our Jesus has vanquished the power of death for us?
37274Are we living as those who are dead with Christ-- dead to sin-- dead to the world?
37274Are we living in the world or living in heaven-- which?
37274Are we practically freed from the world-- letting go our hold of present things, in the power of communion with a risen Christ?
37274Are we taught from the word of God that the early Church ever elected its own pastors or teachers?
37274Are we to allow ourselves to fall under the fatal influence of the surrounding malaria?
37274Are we to continue in error because the dispensation has failed?"
37274Are you built on Christ?
37274Are you content with such a sandy foundation?
37274Are you in this path?
37274Are you looking to your own heart or to Christ''s finished work for salvation?
37274Are you thoroughly satisfied with God''s foundation?
37274Are you wise-- are you right, in persisting in such a line of action under such circumstances?
37274Art thou consciously standing on the solid ground of holy Scripture?
37274Art thou washed in the precious atoning blood of Christ?
37274As long as they behaved themselves, and walked with unsoiled feet?
37274Beloved reader, are you on this foundation?
37274Beloved reader, dost thou still hesitate?
37274Brethren, of what use, may I ask you, would a blind love be to you or to me?
37274But I think I hear you saying,"Where is all the Scripture we were to have had?
37274But are we to be idle?
37274But does it not seem to you, beloved, that we often err on the other side?
37274But does it not strike you that we want more of the individual work?
37274But does not Jordan represent death?
37274But for the present we pause, and shall close this paper with a solemn and earnest question to the reader,_ Art thou sheltered by the blood of Jesus_?
37274But how did the believers at Jerusalem meet together?
37274But how is it now in the professing Church?
37274But how then shall the Scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?"
37274But if I am afraid to face the Word of God, or if I am willfully refusing its action, how can I enjoy communion with God?
37274But if so, what is the day which specially characterizes that dispensation?
37274But in what aspect?
37274But it may be asked, Is there no preparation necessary?
37274But it will be asked,"Were there not elders and deacons in the early Church, and ought we not to have such likewise?"
37274But may we not often detect ourselves in the habit of lightly and formally asking others to pray for us?
37274But ought not the lambs and sheep to be gathered and cared for?
37274But some may ask,"Is there no danger of incompetent men intruding their ministry upon an assembly of God?
37274But the question is, have we made them our own-- have they been applied practically to our souls by the power of the Holy Ghost?
37274But the sheep must be gathered before they can be fed; and how are they to be gathered but by the earnest preaching of the gospel?
37274But then what of the law?
37274But we must return to our theme; and in doing so, we would ask the reader if he really understands the true spiritual import of the river Jordan?
37274But what is Christianity?
37274But what is an assembly to do when abuses creep in?
37274But what is fellowship?
37274But what is"the camp?"
37274But what then?
37274But what, we repeat, were these living stones doing?
37274But where have we anything like this now?
37274But whither should Christ''s sheep be gathered?
37274But who among us does?
37274But who told thee this?
37274But why did Mordecai refuse to bow to Haman?
37274But, we may here inquire,"Is there aught in the history of God''s people now answering to Israel''s experience at the Red Sea?"
37274C. H. M. FOOTNOTE:[ V.] When the jailer at Philippi inquired of Paul and Silas,"What must I do to be saved?"
37274Can anything be more hardening to the heart, or more deadening to the conscience than this?
37274Can it be"gold, silver, precious stones?"
37274Can it have your Lord''s approving smile?
37274Can selfishness live in the view of the cross?
37274Can thoughts about our own interests, or our own gratification, be indulged in the presence of Him who sacrificed Himself for us?
37274Can you not wait until night has drawn her sable curtain around you, and your closet door has shut you in, and then pour out your heart to your God?
37274Canst thou give a"Thus saith the Lord"for the position which thou occupiest, at this moment?
37274Christian reader, are you thinking of"the regions beyond you?"
37274Could I depend upon God''s grace to enable me to abide under the curse?
37274Could a family circle, after the toils of the day, sit down to supper with sighs and gloomy looks?
37274Did not He take up and use instruments the most unfit and unfurnished, according to human thinking, for the accomplishment of His gracious purpose?
37274Did not that make some difference?
37274Did they do"_ all_"that the Lord commanded?
37274Did they really think that Jehovah was going to judge and destroy them, after all?
37274Did they"continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them?"
37274Do we mourn over the coldness, barrenness, and death around us?
37274Do we not feel the lack of power in all our public reunions?
37274Do we not often, by a stiff and peculiar style, cast a chill upon young converts?
37274Do we not remember the style and character of the agents who were chiefly used in the conversion of souls?
37274Do we really understand such utterances?
37274Do we really understand these words?
37274Do we really want man''s authority to make us sure that God has spoken?
37274Do we, in very deed, perceive their application to ourselves?
37274Do you earnestly desire to follow your Lord?
37274Do you ever think of calling in question your own very personal welcome to study the book of Creation?
37274Do you not often find that it is after the more formal public preaching is finished, and the close personal work begins, that souls are reached?
37274Do you not think that if we had more"Philips"we should have more"Nathanaels?"
37274Do you really aim at something beyond mere empty profession, cold orthodoxy, or mechanical religiousness?
37274Do you sigh for reality, depth, energy, fervor, and whole- heartedness?
37274Does He send His sunlight and showers to mock and to tantalize, or to gladden and refresh?
37274Does he believe it?
37274Does not the voice of Holy Scripture bear the clearest testimony to the fact of the interest of the Trinity in the work of the gospel?
37274Faith can now, therefore, sing triumphantly,"O death, where is thy sting?
37274Finally, if we be asked,"Where is the true expression of this assembly of God now?"
37274Fold our arms in cold indifference?
37274For how long?
37274For instance, when a believer dies and goes to heaven, is he called to fight?
37274For then would they not have ceased to be offered?
37274For what do men now call bigotry and narrow- mindedness?
37274For what end?
37274For what had he to build upon in himself?
37274For what, after all, is a narrow mind?
37274For who is there of all flesh that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?
37274For, what is it?
37274Fourthly, what is the_ authority_ on which the assembly is gathered?
37274Had He not bestowed it upon his seed forever?
37274Had He not made Abraham a present of the land of Canaan?
37274Had He not ratified the gift by His word and His oath-- these two immutable things in which it was impossible for Him to lie?
37274Had He not said to them,"Ye shall not need to fight"?
37274Had he a"Thus saith the Lord"for his warrant in refusing a single nod of the head to the proud Amalekite?
37274Have books and tracts lost their interest and value in our eyes?
37274Have we entered into their real force and meaning?
37274Have we not here a very elevated character of work?
37274Have we not to deplore the objectless character of our prayer- meetings?
37274Have we the custody of the Lamb''s book of life?
37274Have we weighed the full force of the expression,"living in the world"?
37274Have you come to Him as God''s living Stone, and given Him the full confidence of your heart?
37274Have you ever pondered these words?
37274Have you ever seen their application to yourself?
37274Have you found any great breadth of truth in them?
37274Having an evil nature, a crafty foe, and a hostile world to cope with, how is he to get on?
37274He had to tread that rough path in profound solitude-- for who could accompany Him?
37274He has died to sin, in the death of Christ; and what power has sin over a dead man?
37274He might have gone forth and enjoyed his freedom, but what of them?
37274He said unto Jesus,"Lord, whither goest thou?
37274He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
37274How am I to know that God has spoken to me?
37274How are we to know that Christ has, by His work on the cross, absolutely and divinely accomplished the will of God?
37274How can I bow to one with whom Jehovah is at war?
37274How can I do homage to a man whom the faithful Samuel would hew in pieces before the Lord?"
37274How can I possess this precious faith?"
37274How can I realize that I am dead to sin?
37274How can a man get life by keeping that which requires life to keep it-- a life which he has not?
37274How can any one run a race, if he has not cleared the starting post?
37274How can he erect a building, if he has not laid the foundation?
37274How can he pass off the platform of nature?
37274How can he reach the blessed position of those to whom the Holy Ghost declares,"Ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit"?
37274How can there be, seeing He has borne the condemnation in their stead?
37274How can we tell whether a man is eternally linked with Christ or not?
37274How could God, as a holy Father, grant such petitions?
37274How could I ever have the self- consciousness of it, while in the body?
37274How could I feel it?
37274How could I realize it?
37274How could acceptable priestly service be discharged with unclean hands?
37274How could any one, of old, have constituted himself a son of Aaron?
37274How could he face the authorities?
37274How could he leave them behind?
37274How could it be otherwise when we so fail in waiting upon God?
37274How could it be otherwise with an honest mind?
37274How could it be otherwise?
37274How could they take possession of Canaan with the reproach of Egypt resting upon them?
37274How could truth ever hinder Christians from giving expression to the unity of the Church?
37274How could uncircumcised people dispossess the Canaanites?
37274How do I know this?
37274How does this appear?
37274How is he to be kept?
37274How is he to be lifted up if he falls?
37274How is he to be restored if he wanders?
37274How is it then that there is so little of this latter?
37274How is the Christian to be kept in the face of such things?
37274How is this most precious life to be had?
37274How is this to be done?
37274How is this?
37274How is this?
37274How is this?
37274How many of those who fill our preaching rooms and lecture halls follow the example of Lydia?
37274How shall_ we that are dead_ to sin, live any longer therein?
37274How would he act in the face of all this?
37274How, then, are all those things to be met?
37274How, then, could we break it with sad hearts or sorrowful countenances?
37274How, then, should we treat him?
37274I must work there?"
37274I would affectionately ask such, Are we to have no higher object before us in our actings than our own happiness?
37274If I were to attempt to shape my way according to the thoughts of men, where should I be?
37274If Jesus is in our midst, why should we think of setting up a human president?
37274If all the really spiritual members were to stay away on such a ground, what would become of the prayer- meeting?
37274If it be allowable to depart from Scripture at all, how far are we to go?
37274If not, what mean the words,"Christ for His part, and this infant for his part?"
37274If not, what then?
37274If not, why not?
37274If one were to be asked what he would consider most necessary for such days as these?
37274If the authority of tradition be admitted at all, who is to fix its domain?
37274If this be not a dishonor done to the Lord Christ, what is?
37274If we admit, for a moment, that, in some things, we must have recourse to tradition and expediency, then who will undertake to fix the boundary line?
37274If we had more"Andrews,"we should have more"Simons?"
37274If you again ask,"How?"
37274If you are anxious to get salvation, and God desires you should have it, why need you be another moment without it?
37274If your sphere of work lies inside the camp, when your Master tells you to go forth, what shall we say for your work?
37274In a word, of what is the Red Sea a type?
37274Is Christian life to be made up of a series of negations?
37274Is He a living Stone?
37274Is He a precious Stone?
37274Is He a rejected Stone?
37274Is all this real and true?
37274Is it a question of Satan?
37274Is it a question of anxiety about my eternal salvation?
37274Is it a question of death?
37274Is it a question of guilt?
37274Is it a question of sin?
37274Is it a question of the world?
37274Is it a question of trespass?
37274Is it because I feel it?
37274Is it because you feel it?
37274Is it into the folds of man''s erection, or into an assembly gathered on divine ground?
37274Is it needful, think you, to wait that God should do something more for your salvation?
37274Is it not invariably something designed for the testing, or experimenting for the improvement, or advancement of the first man?
37274Is it not plain that I am throwing overboard the cross?
37274Is it not plain that salvation is made to depend upon something or some one besides Christ?
37274Is it not plain that the professing Church neither keeps the right day as the sabbath, nor does she keep it after the Scripture mode?
37274Is it not quite enough for us to be"joined to the Lord?"
37274Is it not so?
37274Is it to Old Testament scripture merely?
37274Is it to mock or to tantalize you by presenting before you what was never intended for you?
37274Is it-- can it be, true humility to reduce the blood of Christ to the level of the blood of bulls and of goats?
37274Is mere feeling the ground of your faith?
37274Is not that sufficient?
37274Is not the New Testament a sufficient rule without the Ten Commandments?
37274Is not the deficiency manifest from the fact that we see so little result from our prayers?
37274Is not the lack of this the explanation of much leanness of soul, from which knowledge alone is not able to lift us up?
37274Is not this something?
37274Is the Christian not to be as one living in the world?
37274Is the discipline of the Church of God founded upon what we can know, or upon what we_ can not_?
37274Is the reader in the habit of using such a form of words?
37274Is there a heart here to- night that will say, I am not satisfied with Christ''s service: I can not rest in His work?
37274Is there anything questionable in thy surroundings and associations?
37274Is there no lesson here for us?
37274Is there no one who will enter upon it in simple faith, looking to the living God?
37274Is there no one who will take up this valuable work for Christ''s sake and not for the sake of remuneration?
37274Is there not a danger of the evangelist becoming merged in the teacher?
37274Is there not a sad lack of this"one accord,""one place"principle in our midst?
37274Is there not a want of that deep, personal, loving interest in souls which will express itself in a thousand ways that act powerfully on the heart?
37274Is there not frequently something repulsive in our spirit and deportment?
37274Is there nothing for us to do in the outside place to which we are called?
37274Is there nothing positive?
37274Is this nothing?
37274Is this the way to"render unto the Lord"?
37274It may be asked,"Is it possible that a true child of God could ever be found in such a low moral condition?"
37274It may be said by the advocates of human authority,"How could an assembly ever get on without some human presidency?
37274It may, however, be asked,"How could all the believers in London meet in one place?"
37274Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized to Jesus Christ were baptized to His death?
37274Many might have felt disposed to say to him,"Why persist in this practice?
37274May it speak with living power to the soul of the unconverted reader, leading him to cry out in all sincerity,"What is to be done?"
37274Must not the fault be in us?--are we not deficient in concord and confidence?
37274Must we not admit that our reunions for prayer suffer sadly from long, rambling, desultory prayers?
37274My reader, can you own such a fearful surrender of the truth of God?
37274Need we wonder at the little result?
37274Need we wonder that such an one should cry mightily to God?
37274Now where, we ask, is this precedent followed?
37274Now, in view of all this, what shall we say of Christendom''s priests and Christendom''s sacrifices?
37274Now, my beloved hearers, I ask you, before I proceed, this question, Is there a heart in this congregation that has not yet rested here?
37274Now, the question is, are not our prayers and prayer- meetings sadly deficient on this point?
37274Now, the question is, how far do we understand this great lesson?
37274Now, under such circumstances, what is one to do?
37274Now, we may feel disposed to ask, Are these the people whom we have seen so recently feeding, in perfect safety, under the cover of the blood?
37274Now, what is the simple application of all this to us as Christians?
37274O grave, where is thy victory?
37274O our God, wilt Thou not judge them?
37274Of what, then, were they afraid?
37274Or does the fault lie in the mode of conducting our Tract depots?
37274Ought we not to come together more with some definite object on our hearts, as to which we are going to wait together upon God?
37274Ought we not to examine ourselves as to how far we really understand these two conditions of prayer, namely, unanimity and confidence?
37274Reader, are you assembled on this divine ground?
37274Reader, art thou on God''s ground?
37274Reader, art thou, at this moment in any pressure, in any trial, need, or difficulty?
37274Reader, do you really want salvation?
37274Reader, dost thou not utterly abhor it?
37274Reader, is all this, think you, understood and taught in Christendom?
37274Reader, why was this?
37274Say, dear friend, are thy sins forgiven?
37274Say, dear friend,_ have you_?
37274Say, is the salvation of thy never- dying soul just_ the_ one thing in which thou canst do nothing?
37274Secondly, what is the_ centre_ round which the assembly is gathered?
37274Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
37274Should not we go and do likewise?
37274Should they seek aught else?
37274Should we not seek to save a drowning man, even though we could not command the use of a patent life- boat?
37274Should we teach him not to pray?
37274Suppose, then, I find myself in a place where two or more tables have been spread; what am I to do?
37274Take Judaism or any other_ ism_ that ever was known or that now exists in this world, and what do you find it to be?
37274Take what?
37274The application is for your own heart to ponder: but say, are you thinking of"the regions beyond you?"
37274The continual inquiry of the Christian should be, not is this or that according to law?
37274The difficulty of faith is,"How shall He_ not_?"
37274The difficulty of unbelief is,"How shall He?"
37274The grand question is this, Is God''s word sufficient or not?
37274The inspired volume has been placed in your hand and laid open before your eyes; and for what think you?
37274The moment we see man usurping authority in that which calls itself the church, we simply ask,"Who are you?"
37274The question forces itself upon us,"Is the man speaking to God, or to us?"
37274The question is not,"Am I doing a great deal of work?
37274The question is, How will she receive the action?
37274The question is,_ What is that assembly_?
37274Then why not take it, as God''s free gift?
37274There is the Christ of God and the word of God, and-- what then?
37274Thirdly, what is the_ power_ by which the assembly is gathered?
37274This conducts us naturally to our second point, namely, What is the centre round which God''s assembly is gathered?
37274This latter is of all- importance, inasmuch as it may be truly said, Is not God everywhere?
37274To consider ourselves?
37274To heaven, or to Rome?
37274To what"volume"does He here refer?
37274Was it merely a whim of his own?
37274Was it not most manifestly a work of God''s Spirit?
37274Was she not saying the truth?
37274Was the Church told to inquire?
37274Was there any divine reason for Daniel''s praying toward Jerusalem?
37274Was there any great principle at stake?
37274Was this blind obstinacy, or bold decision-- which?
37274We are by nature"dead in trespasses and sins,"and what can a dead man do?
37274We ask, where is the Church''s warrant for calling, making or appointing pastors?
37274We feel we do not value that precious blood as we ought-- who ever did, or ever could?
37274We have the answer in that one pithy statement:"Then went King David in, and sat before the Lord, and said,''Who am I?''"
37274We may be asked,"Where will you find all this down here?"
37274We reply by asking,"Are we to be disobedient because the Church is in ruin?
37274We reply, How do you know that you are a lost sinner?
37274We solemnly challenge thee, in the presence of God, Canst thou look up to Him and say,"I can do nothing-- I am not responsible?"
37274We would put this pointed question to him, which we entreat him to answer, now,"_ Have you got eternal life_?"
37274Well, I understand this; but will any one tell me that a teacher or pastor may not go forth in earnest longing after souls?
37274Well, what was the special character of that work in its earlier stages?
37274Were it not that we have"the law and the testimony,"where should we be?
37274Were they not for the most part"unlearned and ignorant men?"
37274Were they not the servants of the most high God?
37274What are stripes, or stocks, or prison walls, or gloomy nights, to living stones and holy priests?
37274What are we to do?
37274What avails such security?
37274What can be more painful than to hear a man on his knees explaining principles and unfolding doctrines?
37274What do these things declare?
37274What do they utter in the anxious sinner''s ear?
37274What does he want with a pompous ritual, with all its imposing adjuncts?
37274What does he want with a poor, sinful, dying priest, who can not save himself?
37274What does he want with the sacrifice of the mass?
37274What does it really mean?
37274What follows?
37274What grand lesson are we to learn from the scenes on the shores of the Red Sea?
37274What has the Evangelical Alliance effected?
37274What have we to say to these latter?
37274What if both he and I are, by our very vows, made debtors to do the whole law, and thus shut up under its terrible curse?
37274What is faith''s reply to all this?
37274What is it?
37274What is the necessary practical result?
37274What is the real want of their souls?
37274What is the reply?
37274What is the true position of a Christian?
37274What is to be done?
37274What more can we need?
37274What need is there for opening your windows and praying toward Jerusalem, in such a public manner?
37274What power has sin over such an one?
37274What remained for them?
37274What remains?
37274What riches are required to speak a kindly word-- to drop the tear of sympathy-- to give the soothing, genial look?
37274What should we do, what would become of us, were it otherwise?
37274What should we do?
37274What then becomes of all our vows and resolutions?
37274What then had they to do?
37274What then?
37274What then?
37274What think you was the secret of his success?
37274What was the burden of her song, during those"many days"in the which the apostle narrowly considered her case?
37274What was the result?
37274What were they doing?
37274What will a righteous Judge say to them?
37274What will be her end?
37274What would she have said if any one had told her that millions of professing Christians would yet be praying to her?
37274What, then, did he consider?
37274What, then, do we learn from Luke xi?
37274What, then, have we got to do?
37274What, then, saith the Scripture as to the necessary moral conditions of prayer?
37274What, therefore, is the ground of our justification?
37274What, therefore, saith the Scripture?
37274When He His people''s cause defends, Who then shall stay His hand?"
37274When any one was separated, or"cut off,"from the congregation of Israel, was it because of not being an Israelite?
37274Whence, then, these fears, this intense alarm, this agonizing cry?
37274Where are we to put him?
37274Where hast thou learnt it?
37274Where have we an instance in the New Testament of a Church electing its own pastor?
37274Where in Scripture have we such an expression as"the Christian sabbath"?
37274Where is the Timothy or the Titus now?
37274Where is the authority for altering the day or the mode of observing it?
37274Where is the proof of all this?
37274Where is the proof-- where the abiding memorial-- where the stone on the shoulder?
37274Where is the spiritual power to be had for such works?
37274Where is there any repeal of the law as to the sabbath?
37274Where is there the least intimation in the New Testament that there should be a succession of men invested with the power to ordain elders or pastors?
37274Where is this command obeyed?
37274Where is this safe and blessed path?
37274Where must all this end?
37274Wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?
37274Which?
37274Whither should we go?
37274Whither, think you, will such a system lead you?
37274Who can encounter the swellings of Jordan?
37274Who can face that grim and terrible foe?
37274Who can measure the heights and the depths of those two words,"rich"and"poor,"in their application to our adorable Lord and Saviour?
37274Who can stand before the king of terrors?
37274Who first announced the good news of the bruised Seed of the woman?
37274Who first preached the gospel?
37274Who in his senses would maintain aught so monstrous?
37274Who is sufficient for these things?
37274Who was the first herald of salvation?
37274Who would accept of it?
37274Who would dare to hush or hinder that cry?
37274Who would lean on an arm of flesh, when he can lean on the arm of the living God?
37274Who would not rather be Daniel in the den than Darius in the palace?
37274Who would think of resting in that which is human when he can have that which is divine?
37274Who would venture upon such a piece of daring blasphemy?
37274Who, except the Ark go first, can face death and judgment?
37274Why a second, if aught could be made of the first?
37274Why add aught thereto?
37274Why are souls not smitten down under the Word?
37274Why be grieved with-- why silence such a witness?
37274Why did he not allow her to continue to bear witness to the object of his mission?
37274Why is there so little gathering- power?
37274Why is this?
37274Why not unanimously and heartily allow Him to take the president''s seat, and bow to Him in all things?
37274Why set up human authority, in any shape or form, in the house of God?
37274Why should an anxious load Press down our weary mind?
37274Why should the regenerated seek to belong to something else than that to which they already belong-- the assembly of God?
37274Why the barrenness of our gospel services?
37274Why the dullness and feebleness in the celebration of that precious feast which ought to stir the very deepest depths of our renewed being?
37274Why then was Paul grieved?
37274Why those barren seasons at the Lord''s table?
37274Why those varied evils on which we have been dwelling, and which are being mourned over almost every where by the truly spiritual?
37274Why was not the church at Ephesus, or why were not the churches at Crete, directed to elect or appoint elders?
37274Why was the direction given to Timothy and Titus without the slightest reference to the Church, or to any part of the Church?
37274Why were they to tarry one for another?
37274Why, we may justly inquire, should it be different now?
37274Why?
37274Why?
37274Why?
37274Why?
37274Will anyone presume to excuse himself for rejecting the gospel message on the ground of his inability to believe it?
37274Will she push away the basin?
37274Will she refuse the gracious ministry?
37274Will she resist it, or yield to it?
37274Would anyone be satisfied to purchase sheep, and then leave them to wander whithersoever they list?
37274Would he not feel it right to lower the standard?
37274Would it be right to pass a house on fire, without giving warning, even though one were not a member of the Fire Brigade?
37274Would it not be better to give just one nod?
37274Would it not lead to all sorts of confusion?
37274Would it not open the door for everyone to intrude himself upon the assembly, quite irrespective of gift or qualification?"
37274Yes, here is the question,"What must I do to be saved?"
37274and in Thy hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand Thee?
37274and rulest not Thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen?
37274and what has he got to do?
37274and what is our rule of life?
37274and, under such circumstances, is it not better for each denomination to have their own table?
37274are we to sit down at the table of the Lord with as much indifference as if we were sitting down to an ordinary supper table?
37274are we to yield to the paralyzing power of the atmosphere that inwraps the place?
37274but am I pleasing my Master?
37274but is it like Christ?
37274but,"the anxious reader may say,"what has all this to say to my case?
37274give all up as a myth, a fable, an idle chimera?
37274give up in despair?
37274go back to that from which they once came out?
37274more of the private, earnest, personal dealing with souls?
37274murmuring and complaining?
37274or are you seeking to add something of your own-- your own works, your prayers, your ordinances, your vows and resolutions, your religious duties?
37274or give vent to complaining, murmuring, fretfulness, or irritation?
37274shall we accept salvation as the fruit of our Lord''s death, and deem aught that concerns Him non- essential?
37274these partakers of the rock- life-- the victorious, resurrection- life of Christ-- how did they employ themselves?
37274v. linked eternally with Christ, or not?
37274v.: but what can be higher than"joy in God"?
37274v.?
37274what are the moral conditions which it sets before us?
37274where the many quotations from the Gospels and the Acts?"
37274x.?
3296Is that it?
3296No,they say;"What then?
3296What ails us?
3296What then? 3296 What then?"
3296What will ye say then, O ye gainsayers? 3296 What?"
3296Where art thou now, my tongue? 3296 are they to be esteemed righteous who had many wives at once, and did kill men, and sacrifice living creatures?"
3296is God bounded by a bodily shape, and has hairs and nails?
3296that it was idly said, and without meaning?
3296( for to such creatures, is this food due;) what is it that feeds thee?
3296A man hath murdered another; why?
3296Again, if he asked had I rather be such as he was, or what I then was?
3296Am I not then myself, O Lord my God?
3296Am I then doubtful of myself in this matter?
3296Ambition, what seeks it, but honours and glory?
3296Ambrose has no leisure; we have no leisure to read; where shall we find even the books?
3296And I am admonished,"Truly the things of God knoweth no one, but the Spirit of God: how then do we also know, what things are given us of God?"
3296And I said,"Is Truth therefore nothing because it is not diffused through space finite or infinite?"
3296And I said,"Lord, is not this Thy Scripture true, since Thou art true, and being Truth, hast set it forth?
3296And I turned myself unto myself, and said to myself,"Who art thou?"
3296And doth not a soul, sighing after such fictions, commit fornication against Thee, trust in things unreal, and feed the wind?
3296And from Thee, O Lord, unto whose eyes the abyss of man''s conscience is naked, what could be hidden in me though I would not confess it?
3296And how have they injured Thee?
3296And how shall I call upon my God, my God and Lord, since, when I call for Him, I shall be calling Him to myself?
3296And how shall I find Thee, if I remember Thee not?
3296And if any should ask me,"How knowest thou?"
3296And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man''s, who shall give you that which is your own?
3296And is this the innocence of boyhood?
3296And is, then one part of Thee greater, another less?
3296And she smiled on me with a persuasive mockery, as would she say,"Canst not thou what these youths, what these maidens can?
3296And that very long one do I measure as present, seeing I measure it not till it be ended?
3296And the prophet cries out, How long, slow of heart?
3296And then mark how he excites himself to lust as by celestial authority:"And what God?
3296And this changeableness, what is it?
3296And to what end?
3296And to what purpose?
3296And what can be unlooked- for by Thee, Who knowest all things?
3296And what could I so ill endure, or, when I detected it, upbraided I so fiercely, as that I was doing to others?
3296And what had I now said, my God, my life, my holy joy?
3296And what have we, that we have not received of Thee?
3296And what is it to have silence there, but to have no sound there?
3296And what is like unto Thy Word, our Lord, who endureth in Himself without becoming old, and maketh all things new?
3296And what is this?
3296And what man can teach man to understand this?
3296And what more monstrous than to affirm things to become better by losing all their good?
3296And what should we more say,"why that substance which God is should not be corruptible,"seeing if it were so, it should not be God?
3296And what was it that I delighted in, but to love, and be loved?
3296And what was it which they suggested in that I said,"this or that,"what did they suggest, O my God?
3296And what, O Lord, was she with so many tears asking of Thee, but that Thou wouldest not suffer me to sail?
3296And what, among all parts of the world can be found nearer to an absolute formlessness, than earth and deep?
3296And when shall I have time to rehearse all Thy great benefits towards us at that time, especially when hasting on to yet greater mercies?
3296And when shall that be?
3296And whence does that present itself, but out of the memory itself?
3296And whence is it that often even in sleep we resist, and mindful of our purpose, and abiding most chastely in it, yield no assent to such enticements?
3296And whence should he be able to do this, unless Thou hadst made that mind?
3296And whence should they be, hadst not Thou appointed them?
3296And where do I recognise it, but in the memory itself?
3296And where shall I find Thee?
3296And where should that be, which it containeth not of itself?
3296And where would have been those her so strong and unceasing prayers, unintermitting to Thee alone?
3296And whither, when the heaven and the earth are filled, pourest Thou forth the remainder of Thyself?
3296And who but Thou could be the workmaster of such wonders?
3296And who denies past things to be now no longer?
3296And who denieth the present time hath no space, because it passeth away in a moment?
3296And who has any right to speak against it, if just punishment follow the sinner?
3296And who is He but our God?
3296And who is he, O Lord, who is not some whit transported beyond the limits of necessity?
3296And who is sufficient for these things?
3296And who is this but our God, the God that made heaven and earth, and filleth them, because by filling them He created them?
3296And who leaveth Thee, whither goeth or whither fleeth he, but from Thee well- pleased, to Thee displeased?
3296And who there knew him not?
3296And whose but Thine were these words which by my mother, Thy faithful one, Thou sangest in my ears?
3296And why seek I now in what place thereof Thou dwellest, as if there were places therein?
3296And yet whence was this too, but from the sin and vanity of this life, because I was flesh, and a breath that passeth away and cometh not again?
3296And, not indeed in these words, yet to this purpose, spake I much unto Thee: and Thou, O Lord, how long?
3296Anger seeks revenge: who revenges more justly than Thou?
3296Are an hundred years, when present, a long time?
3296Are griefs then too loved?
3296Are these things false?"
3296Are we ashamed to follow, because others are gone before, and not ashamed not even to follow?"
3296As if He had been in place, Who is not in place, of Whom only it is written, that He is Thy gift?
3296As then we remember joy?
3296As we remember eloquence then?
3296As we remember numbers then?
3296BOOK VI O Thou, my hope from my youth, where wert Thou to me, and whither wert Thou gone?
3296BOOK XI Lord, since eternity is Thine, art Thou ignorant of what I say to Thee?
3296Because none doth ordinarily laugh alone?
3296Before them what more foul than I was already, displeasing even such as myself?
3296Behold, I too say, O my God, Where art Thou?
3296But I would not be asked,"Why then doth God err?"
3296But Thou who fillest all things, fillest Thou them with Thy whole self?
3296But again I said, Who made me?
3296But art thou any thing, that thus I speak to thee?
3296But didst Thou fail me even by that old man, or forbear to heal my soul?
3296But do I depart any whither?
3296But do I perceive it, or seem to perceive it?
3296But for what fruit would they hear this?
3296But hast not Thou, O most merciful Lord, pardoned and remitted this sin also, with my other most horrible and deadly sins, in the holy water?
3296But how didst Thou make the heaven and the earth?
3296But how didst Thou speak?
3296But how dost Thou make them?
3296But how is that future diminished or consumed, which as yet is not?
3296But how know we this?
3296But if before heaven and earth there was no time, why is it demanded, what Thou then didst?
3296But if the will of God has been from eternity that the creature should be, why was not the creature also from eternity?"
3296But in these things is no place of repose; they abide not, they flee; and who can follow them with the senses of the flesh?
3296But in what sense is that long or short, which is not?
3296But is it also in grief for a thing lost, and the sorrow wherewith I was then overwhelmed?
3296But is it so, as one remembers Carthage who hath seen it?
3296But now when I hear that there be three kinds of questions,"Whether the thing be?
3296But should any ask me, had I rather be merry or fearful?
3296But time present how do we measure, seeing it hath no space?
3296But was not either the Father, or the Son, borne above the waters?
3296But we measure times as they are passing, by perceiving them; but past, which now are not, or the future, which are not yet, who can measure?
3296But what availed the utmost neatness of the cup- bearer to my thirst for a more precious draught?
3296But what did this further me, imagining that Thou, O Lord God, the Truth, wert a vast and bright body, and I a fragment of that body?
3296But what do I love, when I love Thee?
3296But what foul offences can there be against Thee, who canst not be defiled?
3296But what in discourse do we mention more familiarly and knowingly, than time?
3296But what is forgetfulness, but the privation of memory?
3296But what is nearer to me than myself?
3296But what is this, and what kind of mystery?
3296But what pain?
3296But what prouder, than for me with a strange madness to maintain myself to be that by nature which Thou art?
3296But what sort of compassion is this for feigned and scenical passions?
3296But what sort of man is any man, seeing he is but a man?
3296But what speak I of these things?
3296But what when the memory itself loses any thing, as falls out when we forget and seek that we may recollect?
3296But when it was present, how did it write its image in the memory, seeing that forgetfulness by its presence effaces even what it finds already noted?
3296But when then pay we court to our great friends, whose favour we need?
3296But whence had it this degree of being, but from Thee, from Whom are all things, so far forth as they are?
3296But whence should I know, whether he spake truth?
3296But whence, by what way, and whither passes it while it is a measuring?
3296But where in my memory residest Thou, O Lord, where residest Thou there?
3296But where shall it be sought or when?
3296But where was I, when I was seeking Thee?
3296But wherefore was it not meet that the knowledge of Him should be conveyed otherwise, than as being borne above?
3296But whether by images or no, who can readily say?
3296But whither ascend ye, when ye are on high, and set your mouth against the heavens?
3296But whither goes that vein?
3296But who shall cleanse it?
3296But whosoever reckons up his real merits to Thee, what reckons he up to Thee but Thine own gifts?
3296But why did I so much hate the Greek, which I studied as a boy?
3296But why doth"truth generate hatred,"and the man of Thine, preaching the truth, become an enemy to them?
3296But yet what was it?
3296But yet who bade that Manichaeus write on these things also, skill in which was no element of piety?
3296But yet, O my God, Who madest us, what comparison is there betwixt that honour that I paid to her, and her slavery for me?
3296By remembrance, as though I had forgotten it, remembering that I had forgotten it?
3296By what Word then didst Thou speak, that a body might be made, whereby these words again might be made?
3296By what way dost Thou, to whom nothing is to come, teach things to come; or rather of the future, dost teach things present?
3296By which of these ought I to seek my God?
3296Can it at any time or place be unjust to love God with all his heart, with all his soul, and with all his mind; and his neighbour as himself?
3296Can my hand do this, or the hand of my mouth by speech bring about a thing so great?
3296Can our hopes in court rise higher than to be the Emperor''s favourites?
3296Could it be measured the rather, for that?
3296Did not I read in thee of Jove the thunderer and the adulterer?
3296Did not my God, Who is not only good, but goodness itself?
3296Did the whole tumult of my soul, for which neither time nor utterance sufficed, reach them?
3296Didst Thou then indeed hold Thy peace to me?
3296Do I then love in a man, what I hate to be, who am a man?
3296Do I then measure, O my God, and know not what I measure?
3296Do not divers wills distract the mind, while he deliberates which he should rather choose?
3296Do the heaven and earth then contain Thee, since Thou fillest them?
3296Do they desire to joy with me, when they hear how near, by Thy gift, I approach unto Thee?
3296Does not my soul most truly confess unto Thee, that I do measure times?
3296Does the memory perchance not belong to the mind?
3296Dost Thou bid me assent, if any define time to be"motion of a body?"
3296Dost Thou mock me for asking this, and bid me praise Thee and acknowledge Thee, for that I do know?
3296Doth then, O Lord God of truth, whoso knoweth these things, therefore please Thee?
3296Doth this sweeten it, that we hope Thou hearest?
3296Envy disputes for excellency: what more excellent than Thou?
3296Even now, after the descent of Life to you, will ye not ascend and live?
3296For I ask any one, had he rather joy in truth, or in falsehood?
3296For I ask them, is it good to take pleasure in reading the Apostle?
3296For had I then parted hence, whither had I departed, but into fire and torments, such as my misdeeds deserved in the truth of Thy appointment?
3296For had there been light, where should it have been but by being over all, aloft, and enlightening?
3296For his presence did not lessen my privacy; or how could he forsake me so disturbed?
3296For how much better are the fables of poets and grammarians than these snares?
3296For how should He, by the crucifixion of a phantasm, which I believed Him to be?
3296For how should there be a blessed life where life itself is not?
3296For if He made, what did He make but a creature?
3296For if Thine ears be not with us in the depths also, whither shall we go?
3296For if they be comprised in this word earth; how then can formless matter be meant in that name of earth, when we see the waters so beautiful?
3296For if( say they) He were unemployed and wrought not, why does He not also henceforth, and for ever, as He did heretofore?
3296For that past time which was long, was it long when it was now past, or when it was yet present?
3296For then I ask myself how much more or less troublesome it is to me not to have them?
3296For what am I to myself without Thee, but a guide to mine own downfall?
3296For what did heaven and earth, which Thou madest in the Beginning, deserve of Thee?
3296For what else is it to feed the wind, but to feed them, that is by going astray to become their pleasure and derision?
3296For what is it to hear from Thee of themselves, but to know themselves?
3296For what is nearer to Thine ears than a confessing heart, and a life of faith?
3296For what is time?
3296For what is, but because Thou art?
3296For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of a man, which is in him?
3296For what mortal can?
3296For what other place is there for such a soul?
3296For what pleasure hath it, to see in a mangled carcase what will make you shudder?
3296For what profited me good abilities, not employed to good uses?
3296For what shall I say, when it is clear to me that I remember forgetfulness?
3296For what thief will abide a thief?
3296For what would I say, O Lord my God, but that I know not whence I came into this dying life( shall I call it?)
3296For what, I beseech Thee, O my God, do I measure, when I say, either indefinitely"this is a longer time than that,"or definitely"this is double that"?
3296For when a body is moved, I by time measure, how long it moveth, from the time it began to move until it left off?
3296For when it was found, whence should she know whether it were the same, unless she remembered it?
3296For whence could innumerable ages pass by, which Thou madest not, Thou the Author and Creator of all ages?
3296For whence else is this hesitation between conflicting wills?
3296For whence shouldest Thou have this, which Thou hadst not made, thereof to make any thing?
3296For where did they, who foretold things to come, see them, if as yet they be not?
3296For where doth he not find Thy law in his own punishment?
3296For where was that charity building upon the foundation of humility, which is Christ Jesus?
3296For whither fled they, when they fled from Thy presence?
3296For whither should my heart flee from my heart?
3296For who discerneth us, but Thou?
3296For who is Lord but the Lord?
3296For who would willingly speak thereof, if so oft as we name grief or fear, we should be compelled to be sad or fearful?
3296For why should not the motions of all bodies rather be times?
3296For with a wounded heart have I beheld Thy brightness, and stricken back I said,"Who can attain thither?
3296For, what was that which was thence through my tongue distilled into the ears of my most familiar friends?
3296Grant me, Lord, to know and understand which is first, to call on Thee or to praise Thee?
3296Had He no might to turn and change the whole, so that no evil should remain in it, seeing He is All- mighty?
3296Hadst not Thou created me, and separated me from the beasts of the field, and fowls of the air?
3296Hast Thou, although present every where, cast away our misery far from Thee?
3296Hast not Thou, O Lord, taught his soul, which confesseth unto Thee?
3296Have I not confessed against myself my transgressions unto Thee, and Thou, my God, hast forgiven the iniquity of my heart?
3296He cries out, How long?
3296Heal Thou all my bones, and let them say, O Lord, who is like unto Thee?
3296How can I say that the image of forgetfulness is retained by my memory, not forgetfulness itself, when I remember it?
3296How did I burn then, my God, how did I burn to re- mount from earthly things to Thee, nor knew I what Thou wouldest do with me?
3296How did corporeal matter deserve of Thee, to be even invisible and without form?
3296How did they deserve of Thee, to be even without form, since they had not been even this, but from Thee?
3296How may it then be measured?
3296How seek I it?
3296How then do I seek Thee, O Lord?
3296How then do I seek a happy life, seeing I have it not, until I can say, where I ought to say it,"It is enough"?
3296How then is it present that I remember it, since when present I can not remember?
3296How then know I this, seeing I know not what time is?
3296How then should it be called, that it might be in some measure conveyed to those of duller mind, but by some ordinary word?
3296I beseech Thee, my God, I would fain know, if so Thou willest, for what purpose my baptism was then deferred?
3296I exclaim:"what is it?
3296I loved then in it also the company of the accomplices, with whom I did it?
3296I measure the motion of a body in time; and the time itself do I not measure?
3296I remember to have sought and found many a thing; and this I thereby know, that when I was seeking any of them, and was asked,"Is this it?"
3296I sent up these sorrowful words: How long, how long,"to- morrow, and tomorrow?"
3296I should choose to be myself, though worn with cares and fears; but out of wrong judgment; for, was it the truth?
3296I should have desired verily, had I then been Moses( for we all come from the same lump, and what is man, saving that Thou art mindful of him?
3296If God be for us, who can be against us?
3296If in my praise I am moved with the good of my neighbour, why am I less moved if another be unjustly dispraised than if it be myself?
3296If not, why does it still echo in our ears on all sides,"Let him alone, let him do as he will, for he is not yet baptised?"
3296If the devil were the author, whence is that same devil?
3296If, again, I should ask which might be forgotten with least detriment to the concerns of life, reading and writing or these poetic fictions?
3296In so small a creature, what was not wonderful, not admirable?
3296In the future, whence it passeth through?
3296In the way that the voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son?
3296In what space then do we measure time passing?
3296Is it also present to itself by its image, and not by itself?
3296Is it body?
3296Is it clasped up with the eyes?
3296Is it false, that every nature already formed, or matter capable of form, is not, but from Him Who is supremely good, because He is supremely?"
3296Is it not thus, as I recall it, O Lord my God, Thou judge of my conscience?
3296Is it soul?
3296Is it that the matter was without form, in which because there was no form, there was no order?
3296Is it that which constituteth soul or body?
3296Is it then a slight woe to love Thee not?
3296Is it to come?
3296Is it without it, and not within?
3296Is justice therefore various or mutable?
3296Is not the life of man upon earth all trial: without any interval?
3296Is not the life of man upon earth all trial?
3296Is not this corporeal figure apparent to all whose senses are perfect?
3296Is the comparison unlike in this, because not in all respects like?
3296Is the thing different, because they are but small creatures?
3296Is this their allotted measure?
3296Know I not this also?
3296Known therefore it is to all, for they with one voice be asked,"would they be happy?"
3296Lastly, why would He make any thing at all of it, and not rather by the same All- mightiness cause it not to be at all?
3296Let him also rejoice and say, What thing is this?
3296Let my bones be bedewed with Thy love, and let them say unto Thee, Who is like unto Thee, O Lord?
3296Let my heart and my tongue praise Thee; yea, let all my bones say, O Lord, who is like unto Thee?
3296Life is vain, death uncertain; if it steals upon us on a sudden, in what state shall we depart hence?
3296Lo, are they not full of their old leaven, who say to us,"What was God doing before He made heaven and earth?
3296May I learn from Thee, who art Truth, and approach the ear of my heart unto Thy mouth, that Thou mayest tell me why weeping is sweet to the miserable?
3296My God hath done this for me more abundantly, that I should now see thee withal, despising earthly happiness, become His servant: what do I here?"
3296My God, my Mercy, with how much gall didst Thou out of Thy great goodness besprinkle for me that sweetness?
3296My life being such, was it life, O my God?
3296No man sings there, Shall not my soul be submitted unto God?
3296Nor did that depart,--(for whither went it?)
3296Notwithstanding, in how many most petty and contemptible things is our curiosity daily tempted, and how often we give way, who can recount?
3296O my Lord, my Light, shall not here also Thy Truth mock at man?
3296O ye sons of men, how long so slow of heart?
3296Oh that they were wearied out with their famine, and said, Who will show us good things?
3296One is commended, and, unseen, he is loved: doth this love enter the heart of the hearer from the mouth of the commender?
3296Or hath it no being?
3296Or how shall we obtain salvation, but from Thy hand, re- making what it made?
3296Or if it were from eternity, why suffered He it so to be for infinite spaces of times past, and was pleased so long after to make something out of it?
3296Or in the present, by which it passes?
3296Or is weeping indeed a bitter thing, and for very loathing of the things which we before enjoyed, does it then, when we shrink from them, please us?
3296Or was it then good, even for a while, to cry for what, if given, would hurt?
3296Or what am I to Thee that Thou demandest my love, and, if I give it not, art wroth with me, and threatenest me with grievous woes?
3296Or where but with Thee is unshaken safety?
3296Or whereas no man likes to be miserable, is he yet pleased to be merciful?
3296Or who, except Thou, our God, made for us that firmament of authority over us in Thy Divine Scripture?
3296Or, could it then be against His will?
3296Or, desiring to learn it as a thing unknown, either never having known, or so forgotten it, as not even to remember that I had forgotten it?
3296Or, is it rather, that we call on Thee that we may know Thee?
3296Or, should there in our words be some syllables short, others long, but because those sounded in a shorter time, these in a longer?
3296Or, was there some evil matter of which He made, and formed, and ordered it, yet left something in it which He did not convert into good?
3296Or, while we were saying this, should we not also be speaking in time?
3296Or,"How came it into His mind to make any thing, having never before made any thing?"
3296Rejoiceth he for that?
3296Say, Lord, to me, Thy suppliant; say, all- pitying, to me, Thy pitiable one; say, did my infancy succeed another age of mine that died before it?
3296See, I answer him that asketh,"What did God before He made heaven and earth?"
3296See, it is no great matter now to obtain some station, and then what should we more wish for?
3296Seeing then Thou art the Creator of all times, if any time was before Thou madest heaven and earth, why say they that Thou didst forego working?
3296Shall I say that that is not in my memory, which I remember?
3296Shall any be his own artificer?
3296Shall compassion then be put away?
3296Since, then, I too exist, why do I seek that Thou shouldest enter into me, who were not, wert Thou not in me?
3296The cruelty of the great would fain be feared; but who is to be feared but God alone, out of whose power what can be wrested or withdrawn?
3296The forenoons our scholars take up; what do we during the rest?
3296The heaven of heavens are the Lord''s; but the earth hath He given to the children of men?
3296The other, in banter, replied,"Do walls then make Christians?"
3296Therefore I contend not in judgment with Thee; for if Thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall abide it?
3296Therefore didst Thou command it to be written, that darkness was upon the face of the deep; what else than the absence of light?
3296These be Thine own promises: and who need fear to be deceived, when the Truth promiseth?
3296These things being safe and immovably settled in my mind, I sought anxiously"whence was evil?"
3296This same time then, how do I measure?
3296This then that He is said"never to have made"; what else is it to say, than"in''no time''to have made?"
3296Those two times then, past and to come, how are they, seeing the past now is not, and that to come is not yet?
3296Thou receivest over and above, that Thou mayest owe; and who hath aught that is not Thine?
3296Thou then, Ruler of Thy creation, by what way dost Thou teach souls things to come?
3296Thou, by whose gift she was such?
3296Times passing, not past?
3296To Thy grace I ascribe also whatsoever I have not done of evil; for what might I not have done, who even loved a sin for its own sake?
3296To what end then would ye still and still walk these difficult and toilsome ways?
3296To whom shall I speak this?
3296To whom tell I this?
3296To wish, namely, to be feared and loved of men, for no other end, but that we may have a joy therein which is no joy?
3296Unto it speaks my faith which Thou hast kindled to enlighten my feet in the night, Why art thou sad, O my soul, and why dost thou trouble me?
3296Was it for his own necessities, because he said, Ye sent unto my necessity?
3296We hold the promise, who shall make it null?
3296What am I then, O my God?
3296What art Thou then, my God?
3296What art Thou to me?
3296What can be more, and yet what less like?
3296What did all this further me, seeing it even hindered me?
3296What diddest Thou then, my God, and how unsearchable is the abyss of Thy judgments?
3296What evil have not been either my deeds, or if not my deeds, my words, or if not my words, my will?
3296What glory, Lord?
3296What greater madness can be said or thought of?
3296What is it that attracts and wins us to the things we love?
3296What is it to me, O my true life, my God, that my declamation was applauded above so many of my own age and class?
3296What is it to me, though any comprehend not this?
3296What is it which hath come into my mind to enquire, and discuss, and consider?
3296What is its root, and what its seed?
3296What is that which gleams through me, and strikes my heart without hurting it; and I shudder and kindle?
3296What is this but a miserable madness?
3296What is worthy of dispraise but vice?
3296What is, in truth?
3296What marvel that an unhappy sheep, straying from Thy flock, and impatient of Thy keeping, I became infected with a foul disease?
3296What means this, O Lord my God, whereas Thou art everlastingly joy to Thyself, and some things around Thee evermore rejoice in Thee?
3296What means this, that this portion of things thus ebbs and flows alternately displeased and reconciled?
3296What middle place is there betwixt these two, where the life of man is not all trial?
3296What nature am I?
3296What said I not against myself?
3296What sayest Thou to me?
3296What shall I do then, O Thou my true life, my God?
3296What shall I render unto the Lord, that, whilst my memory recalls these things, my soul is not affrighted at them?
3296What shall wretched man do?
3296What strength of ours, yea what ages would suffice for all Thy books in this manner?
3296What then could they be more truly called than"Subverters"?
3296What then did I love in that theft?
3296What then did wretched I so love in thee, thou theft of mine, thou deed of darkness, in that sixteenth year of my age?
3296What then do I confess unto Thee in this kind of temptation, O Lord?
3296What then do I love, when I love my God?
3296What then do I measure?
3296What then if all give equal pleasure, and all at once?
3296What then if one of us should deliberate, and amid the strife of his two wills be in a strait, whether he should go to the theatre or to our church?
3296What then is it I measure?
3296What then is the beautiful?
3296What then is time?
3296What then shall I say, O Truth my Light?
3296What then takes place in the soul, when it is more delighted at finding or recovering the things it loves, than if it had ever had them?
3296What then was my sin?
3296What then was this feeling?
3296What third way is there?
3296What when we measure silence, and say that this silence hath held as long time as did that voice?
3296What wilt thou answer me?
3296What, but that I am delighted with praise, but with truth itself, more than with praise?
3296What, if death itself cut off and end all care and feeling?
3296What, when I name forgetfulness, and withal recognise what I name?
3296What, when sitting at home, a lizard catching flies, or a spider entangling them rushing into her nets, oft- times takes my attention?
3296When compose what we may sell to scholars?
3296When refresh ourselves, unbending our minds from this intenseness of care?
3296When shall I recall all which passed in those holy- days?
3296When therefore will it be?
3296When we shall all rise again, though we shall not all be changed?
3296Whence and how entered these things into my memory?
3296Whence and whither hast Thou thus led my remembrance, that I should confess these things also unto Thee?
3296Whence could such a being be, save from Thee, Lord?
3296Whence is evil?
3296Whence is it then?
3296Whence is this monstrousness?
3296Whence is this monstrousness?
3296Whence it seemed to me, that time is nothing else than protraction; but of what, I know not; and I marvel, if it be not of the mind itself?
3296Whence then came I to will evil and nill good, so that I am thus justly punished?
3296Whence then is sweet fruit gathered from the bitterness of life, from groaning, tears, sighs, and complaints?
3296Whence then so many thorns, if the earth be fruitful?
3296Whence this monstrousness?
3296Whence was this, but that Thine ears were towards her heart?
3296Whence, or when procure them?
3296Where in the end do we search, but in the memory itself?
3296Where is evil then, and whence, and how crept it in hither?
3296Where is reason then, which, awake, resisteth such suggestions?
3296Where is that heaven which we see not, to which all this which we see is earth?
3296Where now are the impulses to such various and divers kinds of loves laid up in one soul?
3296Where then and when did I experience my happy life, that I should remember, and love, and long for it?
3296Where then did I find Thee, that I might learn Thee, but in Thee above me?
3296Where then did I find Thee, that I might learn Thee?
3296Where then did they know this happy life, save where they know the truth also?
3296Where then is the time, which we may call long?
3296Where then light was not, what was the presence of darkness, but the absence of light?
3296Where then wert Thou then to me, and how far from me?
3296Where then?
3296Where was then that discreet old woman, and that her earnest countermanding?
3296Whereat then rejoicest thou, O great Paul?
3296Wherefore delay then to abandon worldly hopes, and give ourselves wholly to seek after God and the blessed life?
3296Which images, how they are formed, who can tell, though it doth plainly appear by which sense each hath been brought in and stored up?
3296Which of us comprehendeth the Almighty Trinity?
3296Which way, but through the present?
3296Whither do I call Thee, since I am in Thee?
3296Whither go ye in rough ways?
3296Whither go ye?
3296Whither not follow myself?
3296Whither should I flee from myself?
3296Who am I, and what am I?
3296Who can disentangle that twisted and intricate knottiness?
3296Who can even in thought comprehend it, so as to utter a word about it?
3296Who can readily and briefly explain this?
3296Who can recount all Thy praises, which he hath felt in his one self?
3296Who can understand his errors?
3296Who declare it?
3296Who gathered the embittered together into one society?
3296Who knows not this?
3296Who now shall search out this?
3296Who now teacheth us, but the unchangeable Truth?
3296Who remindeth me of the sins of my infancy?
3296Who remindeth me?
3296Who repay Him the price wherewith He bought us, and so take us from Him?
3296Who shall comprehend?
3296Who shall restore to Him the innocent blood?
3296Who shall stand against thee?
3296Who then should deliver me thus wretched from the body of this death, but Thy grace only, through Jesus Christ our Lord?
3296Who therefore denieth, that things to come are not as yet?
3296Who will say so?
3296Who wishes for troubles and difficulties?
3296Who, Lord, but Thou, saidst, Let the waters be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear, which thirsteth after Thee?
3296Whom could I find to reconcile me to Thee?
3296Whom shall I enquire of concerning these things?
3296Whom so soon as Alypius remembered, he told the architect: and he showing the hatchet to the boy, asked him"Whose that was?"
3296Why am I more stung by reproach cast upon myself, than at that cast upon another, with the same injustice, before me?
3296Why is it, that man desires to be made sad, beholding doleful and tragical things, which yet himself would no means suffer?
3296Why not now?
3296Why not this?
3296Why say more?
3296Why seek they to hear from me what I am; who will not hear from Thee what themselves are?
3296Why should he trouble me, as if I could enlighten any man that cometh into this world?
3296Why so then?
3296Why standest thou in thyself, and so standest not?
3296Why that?
3296Why then be perverted and follow thy flesh?
3296Why then did I hate the Greek classics, which have the like tales?
3296Why then do I lay in order before Thee so many relations?
3296Why then does not the disputer, thus recollecting, taste in the mouth of his musing the sweetness of joy, or the bitterness of sorrow?
3296Why then fear we and avoid what is not?
3296Why then is this said of Thy Spirit only, why is it said only of Him?
3296Why then joy they not in it?
3296Why then was my delight of such sort that I did it not alone?
3296Why, I beseech Thee, O Lord my God?
3296Why, since we are equally men, do I love in another what, if I did not hate, I should not spurn and cast from myself?
3296Why?
3296Wilt Thou hold Thy peace for ever?
3296Would any commit murder upon no cause, delighted simply in murdering?
3296Would aught avail against a secret disease, if Thy healing hand, O Lord, watched not over us?
3296Yea, and if I knew this also, should I know it from him?
3296Yea, sloth would fain be at rest; but what stable rest besides the Lord?
3296Yet what do we measure, if not time in some space?
3296and all at once the same part?
3296and by how many perils arrive we at a greater peril?
3296and dare I say that Thou heldest Thy peace, O my God, while I wandered further from Thee?
3296and from that moment shall not this or that be lawful for thee for ever?"
3296and from that moment shall we no more be with thee for ever?
3296and in this, what is there not brittle, and full of perils?
3296and shall we not rather suffer the punishment of this negligence?
3296and to pray for me, when they shall hear how much I am held back by my own weight?
3296and to what end?
3296and to what end?
3296and to what end?
3296and was there nothing else whereon to exercise my wit and tongue?
3296and what Thy days, but Thy eternity, as Thy years which fail not, because Thou art ever the same?
3296and what before that life again, O God my joy, was I any where or any body?
3296and what else did he who beat me?
3296and what is beauty?
3296and what room is there within me, whither my God can come into me?
3296and what the engine of Thy so mighty fabric?
3296and when arrive we thither?
3296and where shall we learn what here we have neglected?
3296and wherein did I even corruptly and pervertedly imitate my Lord?
3296and who knoweth and saith,"It is false,"unless himself lieth?
3296and yet which speaks not of It, if indeed it be It?
3296and, again, to know Thee or to call on Thee?
3296bitterly to resent, that persons free, and its own elders, yea, the very authors of its birth, served it not?
3296but how shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed?
3296but no space, we do not measure: or in the past, to which it passes?
3296by what prayers?
3296by what sacraments?
3296could I like what I might not, only because I might not?
3296do then heaven and earth, which Thou hast made, and wherein Thou hast made me, contain Thee?
3296do we by a shorter time measure a longer, as by the space of a cubit, the space of a rood?
3296doth not each little infant, in whom I see what of myself I remember not?
3296for of that I have heard somewhat, and have myself seen women with child?
3296for who can call on Thee, not knowing Thee?
3296from whom borrow them?
3296how didst Thou cure her?
3296how heal her?
3296how long roll the sons of Eve into that huge and hideous ocean, which even they scarcely overpass who climb the cross?
3296how long shalt thou not be dried up?
3296how long, Lord, wilt Thou be angry for ever?
3296how speak it?
3296how speak of the weight of evil desires, downwards to the steep abyss; and how charity raises up again by Thy Spirit which was borne above the waters?
3296how then doth it not comprehend itself?
3296how, O God, didst Thou make heaven and earth?
3296if she now seeks of Thee one thing, and desireth it, that she may dwell in Thy house all the days of her life( and what is her life, but Thou?
3296in those things, of the remembrance whereof I am now ashamed?
3296is it lulled asleep with the senses of the body?
3296is not a happy life what all will, and no one altogether wills it not?
3296is not all this smoke and wind?
3296is there, indeed, O Lord my God, aught in me that can contain Thee?
3296of what kind it is?"
3296or can there elsewhere be derived any vein, which may stream essence and life into us, save from thee, O Lord, in whom essence and life are one?
3296or can they either in themselves, and not rather in the Lord their God?
3296or dost Thou fill them and yet overflow, since they do not contain Thee?
3296or dost Thou see in time, what passeth in time?
3296or each its own part, the greater more, the smaller less?
3296or good to discourse on the Gospel?
3296or good to take pleasure in a sober Psalm?
3296or hast Thou no need that aught contain Thee, who containest all things, since what Thou fillest Thou fillest by containing it?
3296or how have they disgraced Thy government, which, from the heaven to this lowest earth, is just and perfect?
3296or how shall they believe without a preacher?
3296or how should they pass by, if they never were?
3296or how that past increased, which is now no longer, save that in the mind which enacteth this, there be three things done?
3296or how went it away?
3296or is it at last that I deceive myself, and do not the truth before Thee in my heart and tongue?
3296or is it perchance that I know not how to express what I know?
3296or shall I say that forgetfulness is for this purpose in my memory, that I might not forget?
3296or to whom should I cry, save Thee?
3296or was it not laid loose?
3296or what Angel, a man?
3296or what Angel, an Angel?
3296or what acts of violence against Thee, who canst not be harmed?
3296or what am I even at the best, but an infant sucking the milk Thou givest, and feeding upon Thee, the food that perisheth not?
3296or what saith any man when he speaks of Thee?
3296or what times should there be, which were not made by Thee?
3296or when should these books teach me it?
3296or whence canst Thou enter into me?
3296or where dost not Thou find them?
3296or who is God save our God?
3296or, art Thou wholly every where, while nothing contains Thee wholly?
3296or, because nothing which exists could exist without Thee, doth therefore whatever exists contain Thee?
3296or, since all things can not contain Thee wholly, do they contain part of Thee?
3296that many besides, wiser than it, obeyed not the nod of its good pleasure?
3296that period I pass by; and what have I now to do with that, of which I can recall no vestige?
3296to do its best to strike and hurt, because commands were not obeyed, which had been obeyed to its hurt?
3296to whom shall I speak it?
3296was I to have recourse to Angels?
3296was it for my good that the rein was laid loose, as it were, upon me, for me to sin?
3296was it that I hung upon the breast and cried?
3296was it that which I spent within my mother''s womb?
3296what aim we at?
3296what heardest thou?
3296what it is?
3296what manner of lodging hast Thou framed for Thee?
3296what manner of sanctuary hast Thou builded for Thee?
3296what serve we for?
3296what, but the Lord God?
3296when, or where, or whither, or by whom?
3296whence should I recognise it, did I not remember it?
3296whence, but from the future?
3296where have they known it, that they so will it?
3296where is the short syllable by which I measure?
3296where seen it, that they so love it?
3296where the long which I measure?
3296whereat rejoicest thou?
3296which because it can not be without passion, for this reason alone are passions loved?
3296whither can God come into me, God who made heaven and earth?
3296whither cry?
3296whither flows it?
3296whither, but into the past?
3296who can teach me, save He that enlighteneth my heart, and discovereth its dark corners?
3296who could any ways express it?
3296who does not foresee what all must answer who have not wholly forgotten themselves?
3296who ever sounded the bottom thereof?
3296who is He above the head of my soul?
3296who set this in me, and ingrafted into me this plant of bitterness, seeing I was wholly formed by my most sweet God?
3296who shall comprehend how it is?
3296who would believe it?
3296who would, any way, pronounce thereon rashly?
3296who, if worsted in some trifling discussion with his fellow- tutor, was more embittered and jealous than I when beaten at ball by a play- fellow?
3296why are they not happy?
3296why do ye love vanity, and seek after leasing?
3296why do ye love vanity, and seek after leasing?
3296why not is there this hour an end to my uncleanness?
3296why then speaks it not the same to all?
3296would not these Manichees also be in a strait what to answer?
3296yea, who can grasp them, when they are hard by?
5831All my desire,says David,"is all my salvation;"so sayest thou,"All my salvation is all my desire?"
5831And how did his good wife take it when she saw that he had no amendment, but that he returned to his old courses again?
5831And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done?
5831And will God indeed dwell with men on the earth?
5831Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them that shall be heirs of salvation?
5831Bless me,saith such a servant,"are these the religious people?
5831But canst thou not repent and turn?
5831But did you not,said he,"when you were at a stand, pluck out and read your note?"
5831But how earnest thou in this condition?
5831Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? 5831 Can such a one as I am live in glory?
5831Cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
5831For what did you bring yourself into this condition?
5831For what is our hope, our joy, our crown of rejoicing? 5831 Have I been so long time with you,"saith Christ,"and hast thou not known me, Philip?
5831If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him;how then can he be fruitful in the vineyard?
5831If our sins he upon us, and we pine away in them, how can we then live?
5831Is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
5831Is not this the carpenter?
5831May we not fly in a time of persecution? 5831 My little bird, how canst thou sit And sing amidst so many thorns?
5831None of us liveth unto himself;why, then, should we desire life only for ourselves?
5831Philip, he that hath seen me, hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?
5831Pray how did she die?
5831Shall I not visit for these things, saith the Lord; shall not my soul be avenged of such a nation as this?
5831Shift? 5831 The word was made flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory;"what glory?
5831This was the day of God''s pleasure,for that his Son did rise thereon;"and shall it not be the day of my delight in him?"
5831Thou tellest my wanderings and puttest my tears in thy bottle; are they not in thy book?
5831We know God, and he is our God, our own God; of whom or of what should we be afraid? 5831 Well, but what art thou now?"
5831What is Jordan? 5831 What man is he that feareth the Lord?"
5831What sayest thou, poor soul? 5831 What was it then, dear heart, that hath prevailed with thee to do as thou hast done?"
5831What wert thou once?
5831Who was it that bid him forbear?
5831Why? 5831 1:30, 31,turning the grace of God into lasciviousness, and walking after his own ungodly lusts?
5831A man that nameth the name of Christ, and that departeth not from iniquity, to whom may he be compared?
5831A work, did I say?
5831A wounded spirit, who can bear?
5831Abel- what to the reason of Eve was he, in comparison with Cain?
5831Again, suppose the father should scourge and chasten the son for such offences, is the relation between them therefore dissolved?
5831Again, would the people learn to be covetous?
5831Alas, they think that she will be run down with a push; or, as they said,"What do these feeble Jews?
5831All God''s children are criers: Can not you be quiet unless you are filled with the milk of God''s word?
5831And albeit, saith Satan, thou prayest sometimes, yet is not thy heart possessed with a belief that God will not regard thee?
5831And are not these pleasant sights?
5831And do not the members receive their whole light, guidance, and wisdom from it?
5831And dost thou not rejoice in secret that thou art the same that thou ever wert?
5831And first, in Mark 16: 3- 7, the words are these:"And they said among themselves, Who shall roll away the stone?"
5831And have these desires put thy soul to the flight?
5831And how if thou shouldst come but one quarter of an hour too late?
5831And if God''s will should be done on earth as it is in heaven, must it not be thy ruin?
5831And if Satan meets thee, and asketh,"Whither goest thou?"
5831And if he breaks up one of these bags, who can tell what he can do?
5831And is all this no good; or can we do without such holy appointments of God?
5831And is it possible it should be forgotten, or that by it our joy, light, and heaven should not be made the sweeter to all eternity?
5831And is it thus with thy soul indeed?
5831And is not this a needy time?
5831And now when body and soul are thus united, who can imagine what glory they both possess?
5831And said, moreover, that they could not wait upon me any longer; but said to me, Then you confess the indictment; do you not?
5831And what can such a one say for himself in the judgment, that shall be charged with the abuse of love?
5831And what chain so heavy as those that discourage thee?
5831And what if God will cross his book and blot out the handwriting that is against thee, arid not let thee know it as yet?
5831And what if thou waitest upon God all thy days?
5831And what is a sinful man in himself, or in his approach to God, but as stubble fully dry?
5831And what is folded up in these things, who can tell?
5831And what is it that makes you so desirous to go to mount Zion?
5831And what shall I now do, saith the sinner?
5831And what then?
5831And what will become of them that trample under foot this Son of God?
5831And what, is my rank so mean that the most gracious and godly among you may not duly and soberly consider what I have said?
5831And when did we see thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee?"
5831And wherefore doth he thus, but to beget an expectation in them of their salvation and deliverance?
5831And who could have found in their heart to shut the door upon such a one?
5831And why doth not God now cast the sinner to hell, for thus abusing his mercy and grace?
5831And why have God''s servants of old made such notes, and observed from them such excellent and wonderful things?
5831And why, but because God himself maintains the enmity?
5831And will this be a delightsome draught?
5831And wilt thou NOT regard?
5831And would I be thoroughly saved from the filth as well as from the guilt?
5831And yet doth it yield no good unto us?
5831Are her plagues pleasant or easy to be borne?
5831Are my prayers lost; are they forgotten; are they thrown over the bar?
5831Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters in Israel?
5831Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
5831Are not even ye,"says Paul,"in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
5831Are not these therefore strong desires?
5831Are these the effect of a purblind spirit?
5831Are these the tokens of a blessed man?"
5831Are they not rather the fruits of an eagle- eyed confidence?
5831Art thou a beggar, a beggar at God''s door?
5831Art thou a fish, man-- art thou a fish?
5831Art thou followed with affliction, and dost thou hear God''s angry voice in thy affliction?
5831Art thou got into the right way?
5831Art thou in Christ''s righteousness?
5831Art thou indeed weary of the service of thy old masters, the devil, sin, and the world?
5831Art thou inquiring the way to heaven?
5831Art thou jogged and shaken and molested at the hearing of the word?
5831Art thou not a graceless wretch?
5831Art thou not come to discourse the Lord in prayer?
5831Art thou such a one?
5831Art thou that readest these lines such a one?
5831Art thou therefore discharged or unladen of these things?
5831Art thou unladen of the things of this world; as pride, pleasures, profits, lusts, vanities?
5831Art thou visited in the night seasons with dreams about thy state, and that thou art in danger of being lost?
5831As God saith,"Can thy hands be strong, and can thy heart endure in the day that I shall deal with thee?"
5831As for example, Would a parishioner learn to be proud?
5831At last the visitor comes and sets his soul at ease, by persuading him that he belongs to God; and what then?
5831At present, lay the thoughts of thy election by, and ask thyself these questions: Do I see my lost condition?
5831Aye, but, Lord, what wilt thou do to quench their thirst?
5831Barren fig- tree, dost thou hear?
5831Before you enter into prayer, ask thy soul these questions: To what end, O my soul, art thou retired into this place?
5831Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?
5831Besides, if men be made righteous, they are so; and if by a righteousness which the law commends, how can fault be found with them by the law?
5831Bold sinner, how darest thou tempt God by laughing at the breach of his holy law?
5831But O, methinks this throne out of which good comes like a river, who but would be a subject to it?
5831But Oh, when he is in the Spirit and sees in the Spirit, do you think his tongue can tell?
5831But all this while, where''s he whose golden rays Drive night away, and beautify our days?
5831But are you sure it is the same that we look for?
5831But behold, now they in truth are delivered and saved, they recompense all with sin:"Lord, what is man?
5831But could she do so if she had not wings?
5831But do you speak seriously and in good earnest?
5831But do you think these men saw the strength of the Jews?
5831But dost thou think that thy more grace will exempt thee from temptations?
5831But doth it not seem most reasonable that we should first mend and be good?
5831But for thy better satisfaction, let me ask, Doth the Lord knock still at the door of thy heart, by his word and Spirit?
5831But how long?
5831But how much more should He be precious to me, who hath saved me from death and hell-- who hath delivered me from the wrath of God?
5831But how must this be?
5831But how shall I come thither?
5831But how then must they see him?
5831But how then shall we be changed and filled, when we shall see him as he is?
5831But how, if while thou lookest for it to come to thee at one door, it come to thee at another?
5831But how?
5831But how?
5831But if the sight of heaven at so vast a distance is so excellent a prospect, what will it be when one is in it?
5831But if thou do it graciously, then a reward followeth;"for what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing?
5831But indeed it should not, for who needs the physician but the sick?
5831But is it not the best way, if one can, to mend first?
5831But perhaps thy heart is so hard and thy mind so united to the pleasing of thy vile affections, that thou wilt say,"What care I for my servant?
5831But shall we be sure of it?
5831But since I have lusts and desires both ways, how shall I know to which my soul adheres?
5831But then I turn the tables, and say, But where shall I be shortly?
5831But was it the tree, or the godhead of Christ, that put virtue and efficacy into this sacrifice that he offered to God for us?
5831But what have they got by all they have done, either, against the Head or body of the church?
5831But what of that, since the wrinkles that are in their faces threaten not us but them?
5831But what should be the reason that such a good man should be all his days so much in the dark?
5831But what terror is there in all this to those for the pleading of whose cause he is so angry with the other?
5831But what then was the altar?
5831But what then?
5831But what will God now do?
5831But what will you say to a soul in this condition?
5831But when a poor creature sees its vileness, it is afraid to come to Christ, is it not?
5831But when will that be?
5831But whence must this come?
5831But where hadst thou that heart that gives entertainment to these thoughts, these heavenly thoughts?
5831But where shall we find him?
5831But who is it that can live by grace?
5831But who told thee that thy soul was such an excellent thing as by thy practice thou declarest thou believest it to be?
5831But why?
5831But will that good meal that I ate last week enable me without supply to do a good day''s work in this?
5831But will you promise me to mend?
5831But would you not have us rejoice at the sight and sense of the forgiveness of our sins?
5831But wouldst thou change places with them?
5831But yet all the things of God were kept out of my sight, and still the tempter followed me with, But whither must you go when you die?
5831But, alas, what are a thousand such short comparisons to the unsearchable love of Christ?
5831Can a holy, a just, and a righteous God think, with honor to his name, of saving such a vile creature as I am?
5831Can a man believe in Christ, and not be hated by the devil?
5831Can darkness agree with light?
5831Can he make a profession of Christ, and that sweetly and convincingly, and the children of Satan hold their tongue?
5831Can thy heart endure, or thy hands be strong?
5831Can you give me some motive to self- denial?
5831Can you remember by what means you find your annoyances, at times, as if they were vanquished?
5831Canst thou answer this question, sinner?
5831Canst thou be content to be put off with a belly well filled and a back well clothed?
5831Canst thou hear this, and not have thy ears to tingle and burn on thy head?
5831Canst thou read this and not feel it, and not feel thy conscience begin to throb?
5831Could he not, think you, have stooped from the cross to the ground, and have laid hold of some honester man, if he would?
5831Did I say before that religion was their pretence?
5831Did I say before that the God of glory is desirous to be seen of us?
5831Did ever any come thus to Christ?
5831Did he die before he was born again?
5831Did he die in unbelief?
5831Did not the shepherds bid us beware of the flatterer?"
5831Do I love Christ, his Father, his saints, his words and ways?
5831Do I see salvation is nowhere but in Christ?
5831Do it therefore, and say,"Why should any thing have my heart but God, but Christ?
5831Do you want spiritual bread?
5831Do you want strength against Satan''s temptations?
5831Do you want strength of grace?
5831Dost thou at times see some little excellency in Christ, and doth it stir up in thy soul some breathings after him?
5831Dost thou count all things but poor, lifeless, empty, vain things, without communion with him?
5831Dost thou count his company more precious than the whole world?
5831Dost thou desire to be with them?
5831Dost thou fear God?
5831Dost thou fear God?
5831Dost thou fear the Lord?
5831Dost thou fly to him that is a Saviour from the wrath to come, for life?
5831Dost thou hear, barren professor?
5831Dost thou profess the name of Christ, and dost thou pretend to be a man departing from iniquity?
5831Dost thou profess the name of Christ, and dost thou pretend to be a man departing from iniquity?
5831Dost thou see a soul that has the image of God in him?
5831Dost thou see in thee all manner of wickedness?
5831Dost thou think that the way that thou art in will lead thee to the strait gate, sinner?
5831Dost thou understand me, sinful soul?
5831Doth he sometimes give thee some secret persuasions, though scarcely discernible, that thou mayest attain an interest in him?
5831Doth he, together with this, put into thy heart an earnest desire after communion with him, with holy resolutions not to be satisfied without it?
5831Doth his company sweeten all things; and his absence imbitter all things?
5831Doth no man come to Jesus Christ by the will, wisdom, and power of man, but by the gift, promise, and drawing of the Father?
5831Doth not every body see the folly of arguings?
5831Doth not such a one want abundance of grace?
5831Doth not the whole course of their way declare it to their face?
5831Doth not thy heart twitter at being saved?
5831Doth not thy mouth water?
5831Doth the dove forbear to come to thee with a leaf in her bill as before?
5831Doth this water of life run like a river, like a broad, full, and deep river?
5831Flow they not, think you, from faith of the finest sort, and are they not bred in the bosom of a truly mortified soul?
5831For a man to be content with this kind of faith and to look to go to salvation by it, what to God is a greater provocation?
5831For who that shall read this story but must confess that the Son of God is full of grace?
5831Friend, I did not ask thee why the JEWS did put him to death; but why was he crucified there for the sins of his children?
5831Hark; dost thou not hear them what they say?
5831Has not this river pleasant streams?
5831Hast thou a heart to be sorry for this wickedness?
5831Hast thou any enticing touches of the word of God upon thy mind?
5831Hast thou heart- shaking apprehensions, when deep sleep is upon thee, of hell, death, and judgment to come?
5831Hast thou through desires betaken thyself to thy heels?
5831Hast thou well improved what thou hast received already?
5831Hath God showed thee that thou art by nature under the curse of his law?
5831Hath he indeed borne all my sins, and spilt his blood for my redemption?
5831Hath not God chosen the foolish, the weak, the base, yea and even things that are not to bring to naught things that are?
5831Have not thy groans gone up to heaven from every corner of thy house?
5831Have they not in them power to loose the bands of nature, and to harden the soul against sorrow?
5831Have we not talked of what he did at the Red sea and in the land of Ham, many years ago; and have we forgot him now?
5831He asked them,"Why?"
5831He said unto me, By what scripture?
5831He saith to Peter,"Follow me;"and what thunder did Zaccheus hear or see?
5831He that hath seen me, hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?
5831He was God, a Creator, then; and is he not God now?
5831He will reckon them up so fast and so fully that thou wilt cry,"Lord, when did I do this, and when did I do the other?
5831Hence such a time is rightly said to be a time to try us, or to find out what we are; and is there no good in this?
5831Her plagues are death and mourning and famine and fire; are these things to be overlooked?
5831Here is naught but open war, acts of hostility, and shameful rebellion on the sinner''s side; and what delight can God take in that?
5831Hew so?
5831How art thou, when thou thinkest that thou thyself hast grace?
5831How can it be, say they, that such a thing, So full of sweetness, e''er should wear a sting?
5831How dost thou like being saved?
5831How if he had come, having taken a command from his Father to damn you and to send you to dwell with devils in hell?
5831How many Mahomet?
5831How many poor souls hath Bonner to answer for, think you; and several filthy, blind priests?
5831How many souls have they been the means of destroying by their ignorance and corrupt doctrine?
5831How many souls, do you think, Balaam with his deceit will have to answer for?
5831How many the Pharisees that hired the soldiers to say the disciples stole away Jesus, and by that means stumbled their brethren to this day?
5831How must I be qualified before I shall dare to believe in Christ?
5831How shall I pass through this dark entry into another world?
5831How should he entertain hopes of life?
5831How then can the world judge of the condition of the saints?
5831How, then, if God should cast you into Turkey, where Mahomet reigns as lord?
5831I am afraid the day of grace is past, and if it should be, what shall I do then?
5831I am sure the psalmist was not, in that he often under affliction cries, But how long, O Lord; for ever?
5831I could, were I so pleased, use higher- strains, And for applause on tenters stretch my brains; But what needs that?
5831I say, Wert thou ever quickened from a dead state by the power of the Spirit of Christ through the covenant of promise?
5831I say, dost thou see thyself in him; and is he more precious to thee than the whole world?
5831I say, therefore, to thee that art thus, And why despair?
5831I say, what wilt thou say to this?
5831I say, where is the honor they should put upon them?
5831I say, wilt thou then slight a weeping Jesus, one that so loveth the soul that rather than he will lose thee, he will with tears persuade thee?
5831If Sampson''s riddle was so puzzling, what shall we think of this?
5831If judgment begins at the house of God, what will be the end of them that obey not the gospel of God?
5831If so, then in the next place, what will become of them that are grown weary before they are got half- way thither?
5831If so, what is the worth or value that is in the grace itself?
5831Is Christ Jesus the Lord my advocate with the Father?
5831Is Christ then the image of the Father, simply as considered of the same divine and eternal excellency with him?
5831Is antichrist to be destroyed?
5831Is he merciful, will he help thee?
5831Is he present, will he hear thee?
5831Is it below thee?
5831Is it fit to say unto God, Thou art hard- hearted?
5831Is it not the least in thy thoughts?
5831Is it so, that coming to Christ is by the Father?
5831Is it so, that they that are coining to Jesus Christ, are ofttimes heartily afraid that he will not receive them?
5831Is not Christ the head, and we the members?
5831Is not he also the price, the ground, and bottom of our happiness, both in this world and that which is to come?
5831Is not such a day the day that bends us, humbles us, and that makes us bow before God for our faults committed in our prosperity?
5831Is not this God rich in mercy?
5831Is not this an encouragement to the biggest sinners to make their application to Christ for mercy?
5831Is not this enough to make any poor soul begin his race?
5831Is not this excellent water?
5831Is not this to play the fool in the account of sinners, while angels wonder at and rejoice for thy wisdom?
5831Is not thy heart so full of desires after the things of another world, that many times thou dost even forget the things of this world?
5831Is the doctrine offered unto thee so?
5831Is the soul such an excellent thing, and is the loss thereof so unspeakably great?
5831Is the soul such an excellent thing, and is the loss thereof so unspeakably great?
5831Is there not life and mettle in them?
5831Is there nothing in dark providences, for the sake of the sight and observation of which such a day may be rendered lovely, when it is upon us?
5831Is thy business slight, is it not concerning the welfare of thy soul?
5831Is thy conscience awakened and convinced, then, that thou art at present in a perishing state, and that thou hast need to cry to God for mercy?
5831Is thy heart still so stubborn as not to say yet, Let us fear the Lord?
5831Is thy mind always musing on him; and lovest thou to be walking with him?
5831It is false, said she; for when they said to him, Do you confess the indictment?
5831It will never backslide again, will it?
5831Let these things teach us"to cease from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for wherein is he to be accounted of?"
5831May I not wash in them and be clean?"
5831Men will do thus, as I said, in courts below; and why shouldst not thou approach thus to the courts above?
5831Might not God now cast off this sinner, and cast him out of his sight?
5831Must antichrist be destroyed?
5831Must antichrist be destroyed?
5831Must he do what he lists?
5831Nay, are not the very thoughts of it altogether displeasing to thee?
5831Nay, dost thou know what original sin means?
5831Need I read you a lecture?
5831Now here some may object, and say,"Since the way to God by these doors was so wide, why doth Christ say the way and gate is narrow?"
5831Now the Spirit of Christ, that leads also; but whither?
5831Now what can hell and death do to him that hath this mercy of God upon him?
5831Now why should we lay hands cross on this text; that is, choose good victuals and love the sweet wine better than the salvation of the poor publican?
5831Now"shall not his soul be avenged on such a nation as this?"
5831Now, let the man that professes the name of Christ religiously consider with himself,"Unto what sin or vanity am I most inclined?
5831Now, to be taught of God, what is like it?
5831Now, who will meet me in this dark entry?
5831O Lord, how long?
5831O Lord, let me be any thing but a sinner; any thing, so thou subduest mine iniquities for me?"
5831O how should a poor soul do this?
5831O if he were one quarter of an hour to behold, to feel, to taste, and enjoy but the thousandth part of what we enjoy, what would he do?
5831O sinner, wilt thou not open?
5831O that my soul were so full of grace, that there might be no longer room for even the least lust to come into my thoughts?"
5831O thou that fearest the Lord, what is thy desire?
5831O, blessed face; O, holy grace, When shall we see this day?
5831O, poor Eve, do we wonder at thy folly?
5831O, sir, what will thy gallant, generous mind do here?
5831Oh sinner, what sayest thou?
5831Oh then, what is dwelling with them and in them for ever and ever?
5831Oh, but can it turn all things into grace-- can it make all things work together for good?
5831Oh, pull no longer; why shouldst thou be thine own executioner?
5831Oh, what is he doing now?
5831Oh, who would not be in this condition?
5831Or art thou like the ostrich whom God hath deprived of wisdom, and hath hardened her heart against her young?
5831Or dost thou think that God is at play with thee, and that he threateneth but in jest?
5831Or how is it with thy soul?
5831Or if they were, would they be afraid that God would not make them welcome?
5831Or shall a cloud dwell on this day?
5831Or shall it come to save us, and shall we he offended with the hand that brings it?
5831Or when saw we thee sick or in a prison, and came unto thee?"
5831Or whom did Christ come into the world to save, but the chief of sinners?
5831Peter asks thee another question:"If the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?"
5831Ponder the path of thy feet with the greatest seriousness; thy life lies upon it; what thinkest thou?
5831Poor sinner, awake: Eternity is coming, and his Son; they are both coming to judge the world: awake; art yet asleep, poor sinner?
5831Saved I would be; and who is there that would not, were he in my condition?
5831Says Satan, Dost thou not know that thou art one of the vilest in all the pack of professors?
5831Says Satan, Dost thou not know that thou hast horribly sinned?
5831Says Satan, Doth not thy conscience tell thee that thou art and hast been more base than any of thy fellows can imagine thee to be?
5831Secondly, with respect to thy desires, what are they?
5831See here: what should we talk any more about such a fellow?
5831Shall Christ come down from heaven to earth to declare this to sinners; and shall sinners stop their ears against these good tidings?
5831Shall God regard this day from above, and shall not his light shine upon this day?
5831Shall he stay from Christ till his heart is better?
5831Shall he trust to his duties?
5831Shall not these mournful groans pierce thy flinty heart?
5831Shall these pass or such as believe to the saving of the soul?
5831Shall this man lie down and despair?
5831Shall we deserve correction, and be angry because we have it?
5831Shall we do evil that good may come?
5831Shall we sin that grace may abound; or shall we be base in life because God by grace hath secured us from wrath to come?
5831Should one say to them, Art not thou the man that I once saw crying under a sermon, that I once heard cry out,"What must I do to be saved?"
5831Sin and guilt bring weakness and faintness in this life; how much more when both, with all their force and power, like a giant fasten on them?
5831Sinner, hast thou deferred to fear the Lord?
5831Sinner, if this wicked thought be in thy heart, tell me again, dost thou thus think in earnest?
5831Sinner, why shouldst thou pull vengeance down upon thee?
5831Sluggard, art thou asleep still?
5831So the Interpreter addressed him to Mercy, and said unto her,"And what moved thee to come hither, sweetheart?"
5831Sometimes I look upon myself and say, Where am I now?
5831Stand among the wicked thou then wilt not dare to do: where wilt thou appear, sinner?
5831Suppose a child doth grievously transgress against and offend his father; is the relation between them therefore dissolved?
5831Tell me, when did you see an old drunkard converted?
5831The love of riches, the love of honors, the love of pleasures, are the thorns that choke the word; how then can there be fruit brought forth to God?
5831Then he asked them, saying,"Where did you lie the last night?"
5831Then said Christian to the Interpreter,"But is there no hope for such a man as this?"
5831Then said Christian to the man,"What art thou?"
5831Then said Christian,"Is there no hope but you must be kept in the iron cage of despair?"
5831Then said Christian,"May we go in thither?"
5831Then said Christian,"What meaneth this?"
5831Then said Christian,"What means this?"
5831Then said Christian,"What means this?"
5831Then said Christian,"What means this?"
5831Then said Christian,"What means this?"
5831Then said Mercy,"What means this?"
5831Then said the pilgrims,"Alas, what now shall we do?"
5831Then said they,"Have you none?"
5831There is never a rebel against God in heaven; and if he should so deal on earth, must he not whirl thee down to hell?
5831Therefore the cup is called Christ''s cup:"Are ye able to drink of the cup that I drink of?
5831Therefore, if you meet with the cross in thy journey, in what manner soever it be, be not daunted and say, Alas, what shall I do now?
5831These kill the heart; for who can bear up under the guilt of sin?
5831They begin to vaunt it already, and to say, Where is the word of the Lord as to this?
5831They have got kingdoms, they have got crowns, they have got-- what have they not got?
5831This is Peter''s question: canst thou answer it, sinner?
5831This is just as if a sick man should say,"Is it not best for me to be well before I go to the physician?"
5831Thou art in a strait; wilt thou fly before Moses, or with David fall into the hands of the Lord?
5831Thou canst not, thou complainest, pray; canst thou see thy misery?
5831Thou scrupulous fool, where canst thou find that God was ever false to his promise, or that he ever deceived the soul that ventured itself upon him?
5831Thou subject art to cold o''nights, When darkness is thy covering; At day thy danger''s great by kites; How canst thou then sit there and sing?
5831Thus also thou mayest say, when death assaulteth thee,"O death, where is thy sting?
5831Thus their covetousness hath set them on high, even above the suns, moons, and stars of this world: but to what end?
5831Thy God has"bidden thee open thy mouth; he has bid thee open it wide,"and promised, saying,"and I will fill it;"and wilt thou not desire?
5831To slight grace, to do despite to the Spirit of grace, to prefer our own works, thus derogating from grace--- what is it but to contemn God?
5831True, he stopped the blow but for a time; but why did he stop it at all?
5831WHAT is prayer?
5831Was it not the act of the false apostles to say thus-- to bespatter a man that his doctrine might be disregarded?
5831Was it not therefore well worth the seeing- yea, if John had taken the pains to go up thither upon his hands and knees?
5831Was it the removing of thy habitation, the change of thy condition, the loss of relations, estate, or the like?
5831Was not this a strange act and a display of unthought of grace?
5831Well, but what says God?
5831Well, but when did God show thee that thou wert no Christian?
5831Well, what shall he done for this man?
5831Well, will things that are less satisfy thy soul?
5831Were there none but thieves there, or were the rest of that company out of his reach?
5831What are the things thou desirest; are they lawful or unlawful?
5831What can be more full?
5831What can be more plain?
5831What can be more suitable to the most desponding spirit in any man?
5831What can the lady or mistress do to defend herself against thieves and sturdy villains, if there be none but she at home?
5831What conduct?
5831What could the king of Babylon''s golden image have done, had it not been for the burning fiery furnace that stood within view of the worshippers?
5831What could the temple do without its watchmen?
5831What demand of thine have I not fully answered?
5831What dost thou think?
5831What doth the law require?
5831What encouragement can be given us thus to come?
5831What evidence have you for heaven and glory, and an inheritance among them that are sanctified?
5831What ground, now, is here for despair?
5831What ground, then, to despair?
5831What have I here?
5831What if we must now go to heaven, and what if he is thus come to fetch us to himself?
5831What is God''s majesty to a sinful man, but a consuming fire?
5831What is heaven without God?
5831What is his calling?
5831What is poor sorry man, poor dust and ashes, that he should crowd up, and go jostlingly into the presence of the great God?
5831What is sixteen cubits to him who would enter in here with all the world on his back?
5831What is that?
5831What is the church of God redeemed by from the curse of the law?
5831What is there in the Lord''s supper, in baptism, yea, in preaching the word and prayer, were they not the appointments of God?
5831What is this that thou hast done?
5831What is this that thou hast done?
5831What is this that thou hast done?
5831What is this to the purpose?
5831What is this?
5831What kind of secret wishes hast thou in thy soul, when thou feelest the lusts of thy flesh to rage?
5831What kind of thoughts hast thou of thyself, now thou seest those desires of thine that are good so briskly opposed by those that are bad?
5831What man that ever had read or assented to the gospel, but would have spoken more honorably of Christ than you have done?
5831What must he do, therefore?
5831What nation, what people, what kind of sinners have not been subdued by the preaching of a crucified Christ?
5831What now must be done with this fig- tree?
5831What now?
5831What sayest thou now, sinner?
5831What sayest thou to this, poor sinner?
5831What says Job?
5831What sayst thou now, sinner?
5831What sayst thou?
5831What scripture can be plainer spoken than this?
5831What shall I say?
5831What shall I say?
5831What shall I say?
5831What shall I say?
5831What shall be done to them that curse this day, and would not that the stars should give their light thereon?
5831What shall_ I_ say?
5831What should be the reason but that death assaulted him with his sting?
5831What then can stand before us?
5831What then?
5831What then?
5831What was the providence that God made use of as a means, either more remote or near, to bring thee to Jesus Christ?
5831What will all say, or what will they conclude, even upon the very first hearing of this story?
5831What will become of you?
5831What will the soul do now?
5831What wilt thou do, poor sinner?
5831What words wilt thou use to move him to compassion?
5831What would he leave undone?
5831What would he suffer?
5831What would you have a poor creature do, that can not tell how to pray?
5831What, dost thou think to run fast enough, with the world, thy sins and lusts in thy heart?
5831What, is baffling and befooling the enemies of God''s church nothing?
5831What, is preservation nothing?
5831What, set more by thy soul than by all the world?
5831What, shall Christ become a servant for you, and will you be drudges for the devil?
5831What, will your husband leave preaching?
5831When God made me sigh, they would hearken, and inquiringly say,"What is the matter with John?"
5831When didst thou see that; and in the light of the Spirit of Christ see that thou wert under the wrath of God because of original sin?
5831When saw we thee a stranger and took thee in, or naked and clothed thee?
5831When thou shalt see less sinners than thou art bound up by angels in bundles to burn them, where wilt thou appear, sinner?
5831Where is that jot or tittle of the law that is able to object against my doings for want of satisfaction?"
5831Where is the man that is zealous of moral holiness?
5831Where is the man that walketh with his cross upon his shoulder?
5831Where now is the man that feareth the Lord?
5831Where shall I see myself anon, after a few more times have passed over me?
5831Where will you be found in another world?
5831Where''s he that thaws our ice, drives cold away?
5831Where''s he whose goodly face doth warm and heal, And show us what the darksome nights conceal?
5831Wherefore puttest thou thy hand in thy bosom, as being afraid to touch the hem of the garment of thy Lord?
5831Wherefore standest thou thus with thy ifs and thy O- buts, O thou poor benighted Israelite?
5831Wherefore, though in the day of judgment thou shouldst there slight all thou didst on earth for thy Lord, saying,"When, Lord, when did we do it?"
5831Which wouldest thou have prevail; the desires of the flesh, or the lusts of the spirit?
5831Who can reach them, touch them, destroy them, but the Creator?
5831Who can tell how many heart- pleasing thoughts Christ had of us before the world began?
5831Who do so flutter it out as our ruffling, formal worshippers?
5831Who is it that would not have the benefit of grace, of a throne of grace?
5831Who now, or which of them, had their graces shining clearest, since both seemed to be alike?
5831Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name?
5831Who speak to their aged parents with that due regard to that relation, to their age, to their worn- out condition, that becomes them?
5831Who then shall condemn, when Christ has died and does also make intercession?
5831Whose side art thou of?
5831Why did he not cut it down?
5831Why did he not do execution?
5831Why did he not fetch out the axe?
5831Why is the conversion of the the soul compared to the grafting of a tree, if that be done without cutting?
5831Why not be familiar with sinners, provided we hate their spots and blemishes, and seek that they may be healed of them?
5831Why not be fellowly with our carnal neighbors, if we take occasion to do so that we may drop and be distilling some good doctrine upon their souls?
5831Why not go to the poor man''s house, and give him a penny and a scripture to think upon?
5831Why shall thy deceived heart turn thee aside, that thou canst not deliver thy soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?
5831Why sittest thou still?
5831Why so?
5831Why so?
5831Why standest thou still?
5831Why then do you despise my rank, my state, and quality in the world?
5831Why then dost thou talk of two strings to thy bow?"
5831Why then is it said, he hath his way in the whirlwind and storm?
5831Why then should we think that our innocent lives will exempt us from sufferings, or that troubles shall do us harm?
5831Why, truly thus: Doth Satan tell thee thou prayest but faintly, and with very cold devotion?
5831Why, what had Jonathan done?
5831Why, what is this more than to flatter God with thy lips, and than to lie unto him with thy tongue?
5831Why, what wouldst thou ask for, sinner?
5831Why, where is he then?
5831Why?
5831Why?
5831Why?
5831Will a less thing than heaven, than glory and eternal life, answer thy desires?
5831Will he leave him to recover himself by the strength of his now languishing grace?
5831Will he let him alone in his apostasy?
5831Will he take this advantage to destroy the sinner?
5831Will his God humor him, and answer his desires?
5831Will it please thee, when thou shalt see that thou hast brought forth children to the murderer?
5831Will neither tidings from heaven nor hell awake thee?
5831Will they fortify themselves?
5831Will this content thee?
5831Will you give me one more encouragement?
5831Will you not hear the errand of Christ, although he telleth you tidings of peace and salvation?
5831Will you rebel against the king?
5831Wilt thou answer this question now; or wilt thou take time to do it; or wilt thou be desperate and venture all?
5831Wilt thou go to hell for sin, or to life by grace?
5831Wilt thou he like the silly fly, that is not quiet unless she be either entangled in the spider''s web or burnt in the candle?
5831Wilt thou not cry?
5831Wilt thou say still,"Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the arms to sleep?"
5831Wilt thou stop thine ears and shut thine eyes?
5831Would I share in this salvation by faith in him?
5831Would Jesus Christ have mercy offered in the first place to the biggest sinners?
5831Would Jesus Christ have mercy offered, in the first place, to the biggest sinner?
5831Would Jesus Christ have mercy offered, in the first place, to the biggest sinners?
5831Would he be afraid of friends, or shrink at the most fearful threatenings that the greatest tyrants could invent to give him?
5831Would he favor sin?
5831Would he love this world below?
5831Would the people learn to be wanton?
5831Would they be here again for a thousand worlds?
5831Would they learn to be drunkards?
5831Would they not call thee a thousand fools, and say, O that he did but see what we see, feel what we feel, and taste of the dainties that we taste of?
5831Wouldst thou be saved from guilt and filth too?
5831Wouldst thou be saved with a thorough salvation?
5831Wouldst thou be saved?
5831Wouldst thou be the servant of thy Saviour?
5831Wouldst thou have the kingdom of God come indeed, and also his will to be done in earth as it is in heaven?
5831Wouldst thou improve this love of God and of Christ?
5831Wouldst thou know, sinner, what thou art?
5831Wouldst thou sit upon their place of ease?
5831Yea, I say again, if judgment must begin at them, will it not make thee think, What shall become of me?
5831Yea, Peter himself, when upon a time he perceived more than commonly he did of the majesty of Jesus his Lord, what doth he do?
5831Yea, or no?
5831Yea, suppose the child should now, through ignorance, cry and say,"This man is now no more my father;"is he therefore no more his father?
5831Yea, what is like being taught in the way that them shalt choose?
5831Yea, what wilt thou then do if death and hell shall come to visit thee, and thou in thy sins and under the curse of the law?''
5831Yes, the Lord Jesus denied himself for thee: what sayest thou to that?
5831and his men of strange faces, in strange habits, with strange gestures and behaviors, monsters to behold?
5831and that some time ago I heard speak well of the holy word of God?
5831and what would you have?"
5831and why do the Scriptures say that"through this man is preached to us the forgiveness of sins?"
5831and will he not be as good to us as to them that have gone before us?
5831are these the servants of God, where iniquity is made so much of and is so highly entertained?"
5831art thou resolved to sleep the sleep of death?
5831banished thence where they willingly would have harbor: how came they to thy house, to thy heart, and to find entertainment in thy soul?
5831can not you be satisfied unless you have peace with God?
5831canst thou drink hell- fire?
5831canst thou live always, and nowhere else hut in the water?
5831canst thou live in the water?
5831hath not this God great love for sinners?
5831how shall I grapple with the misery that I must meet with in eternity?"
5831in love to God, in love to men, in holy love, in love unfeigned?"
5831is grace thy proper element?
5831is it covetousness?
5831is it fleshly lust?"
5831is it pride?
5831might he not leave him to his own choice, to be deluded by and to fall in his own righteousness, because he trusts to it and commits iniquity?
5831or athirst and gave thee drink?
5831or is it muddy and mixed with the doctrines of men?
5831or when thou shalt hear them cry, I learnt to go on in the paths of sin by the carriage of professing parents?
5831or will that penny that supplied my want the other day-- I say, will the same penny also, without a supply, supply my wants to- day?
5831or, will that seasonable shower which fell last year, be, without supplies, a seasonable help to the grain and grass that is growing now?
5831to contemn him when he is on the throne, when he is on the throne of his glory?
5831who but would worship before it?
5831who would not be in this glory?
5831who would slight convictions that are on their souls, which tend so much for their good?
5831why shouldst thou pull vengeance down from heaven upon thee?
5831will the wrath of God be a pleasant dish to thy taste?
5831will they make an end in a day?
5831will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish which are burnt?
5831will they sacrifice?
5831wilt thou not desire?
5831you may ask me what that is?
45843But what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? 45843 Can the power of baptism,"says Cyprian,"be greater or better than confession?
45843If they have called the Master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of His household? 45843 Or if you call us guilty,"say you,"why do you, who are yourselves innocent, seek for our company?"
45843What then are we to do,say they,"with those whom we have already rebaptized?"
45843What,say you,"have you to do with the kings of this world, in whom Christianity has never found anything save envy towards her?"
45843Who accused him?
45843Who convicted him?
45843[ 1002] What could be plainer? 45843 [ 1035] For what have we which we did not receive?
45843[ 1088] What have we here to do with these? 45843 [ 1089] Do you acknowledge that here there is no What if, no Possibly?
45843[ 108] If for two men who agree, how much more for two communities? 45843 [ 1095] What has this to do with the subject?
45843[ 1104] What can be clearer than this sentence? 45843 [ 165] But who are true Christians, save those of whom the same Lord said,"He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me?
45843[ 166] But what is it to keep His commandments, except to abide in love? 45843 [ 197] Let it not, then, be asked of us"of what God he is made the temple?
45843[ 245] But when does he fail to express his abhorrence of the covetous? 45843 [ 281] Who says that it is?
45843[ 340] For if baptism remains inseparably in him who is baptized, how can it be that he can be separated from the Church, and baptism can not? 45843 [ 362] What then?
45843[ 363] But to these the apostle says,Thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
45843[ 368] For neither are the covetous the temple of God, since it is written,What agreement hath the temple of God with idols?
45843[ 376] For he writes most manifestly to them, saying,How say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
45843[ 390] If not by water, how in the ark? 45843 [ 438] How then do the wicked baptize within, who can not remit sins?
45843[ 500] And when he says that a widow that liveth in pleasure is dead,[501] how are they not dead who renounce the world in words and not in deeds? 45843 [ 524] Is a heretic worse even than such?
45843[ 561] How much worse, therefore, are those who did not consent with thieves, but themselves were wo nt to plunder farms with treacherous deceits? 45843 [ 679] so how can the error of the Donatists have power to overthrow the error of the Manichæans?
45843[ 717] And because this might be said indiscriminately by any one against any one, as though it were asked, Under whose lips? 45843 [ 764] If he whom you saw did not pollute you, why do you reproach me with one whom I could not have seen?
45843[ 795] What could be plainer than this testimony? 45843 [ 862] From what river does it mean, save that where He was baptized, and where the dove descended on Him, that mighty token of charity and unity?
45843[ 88] But why does the Lord Himself say,Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment,"[89] if we may not judge any man?
45843[ 985] But if you did not do this, why do you boast as though you had done it? 45843 [ 989] For whence else is it that one hastens even with infants to seek remission of their sins?
45843[ 98] If he was polluted by communion with persons of this kind, why do they follow his authority in the question of baptism? 45843 [ 996] And because he had no hopes that they could be reformed, therefore he said,"Whence shall I be healed?"
45843''"[ 1085] Does he mean that when I said, What if the conscience of the giver be hidden from sight, and possibly be stained with guilt?
45843''"[ 244] What then?
45843''Who art thou that judgest another man''s servant?
45843''[ 551] But if God be true, how can the truth of baptism be in the company of heretics, where God is not?"
45843''[ 578] How can he who is a sinner be heard in baptism?"
45843''[ 586] How then can any one baptize in a place where there is not either God, or Christ, or the Church?"
45843''[ 603] How can such men be admitted without consideration into the house of God, who are forbidden to be admitted into our private house?
45843''[ 702] If you were to burn with fire the testament of a dead man, would you not be punished as the falsifier of a will?
45843''[ 796] Whom do you teach,_ traditor_?
45843''[ 861] What then does the law say?
45843''[ 930] Where is the patience which He displayed when they spat upon His face, who Himself with His most holy spittle opened the eyes of the blind?
458432, 3)?
45843; not always profitable, 224, 225; is it valid when received from one who was not himself baptized?
45843AUGUSTINE answered: Are you then really not ashamed to call the baptism of Christ a lie, even when it is found in the most false of men?
45843AUGUSTINE answered: By what offences?
45843AUGUSTINE answered: How often must I tell you the same thing?
45843AUGUSTINE answered: Is it then really so, that when men smite you on the one cheek, you turn to them the other?
45843AUGUSTINE answered: What are you saying, if I may ask?
45843AUGUSTINE answered: What if your private person, whom you deem a forger, were to set forth to any one the law of the emperor?
45843AUGUSTINE answered: What is it but sheer madness to utter these taunts without proving anything?
45843AUGUSTINE answered: What shall I say unto thee, O man, except that thou art calumnious?
45843AUGUSTINE answered: Wherefore say you this?
45843AUGUSTINE answered: Who is there in the Scriptures that would not distinguish between these two classes of men?
45843AUGUSTINE answered: Why then do you not restrain the weapons of the Circumcelliones with such words as these?
45843AUGUSTINE answered: Why will you put yourself forward in the room of Christ, when you will not place yourself under Him?
45843Again, if Maximianus is not dead, why is a man baptized again who had been baptized by him?
45843And He said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?
45843And again, why was it, as I asked just now, that you offered a petition to Julian, the undoubted foe of Christianity?
45843And as though some one had said to him, Whence do you derive your proof of this?
45843And further, what do you mean by introducing those whom you mentioned above in such numbers?
45843And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized?
45843And he said, Who art Thou, Lord?
45843And he, trembling and astonished, said, Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?
45843And how can he be so renovated whose past sins are not remitted?
45843And how can that be true which He then says,"He that is not against you is for you?"
45843And if they have in them a tinge of Christianity, they say further,"Who art thou that judgest another man''s servant?
45843And if they would have obeyed him, and begun to live rightly, not as false but as true Christians, would he have ordered them to be baptized anew?
45843And if this be so, how does St. John say,"He that hateth his brother remaineth still in darkness,"if remission of his sins has already taken place?
45843And if this is a sin, who is the man that will say, Grant that for a single day I may commit sin?
45843And if we do ill in urging this, why do you seek after us?
45843And let not any one say, Why, what fruit hath the tares?
45843And since you assume this as the fundamental principle of your baptism, are men to place their trust in you?
45843And so too now, when the question between us is, Where is the Church?
45843And then do you dare to say to Christians,"What have you to do with the kings of the world?"
45843And what if Julian, who gave you back the basilicas, had not been so speedily snatched away from life?
45843And what is regeneration in baptism, except the being renovated from the corruption of the old man?
45843And when is that fulfilled, you will say, which the Lord declares,"The time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service?
45843And yet how could this be possible, if the sin be of such a nature that it can not be forgiven, either in this world or in the world to come?
45843And yet they were among the very men to whom the same apostle says,"Was Paul crucified for you?
45843And yet what hope can a man have, who, whether he is aware of it or not, has either a very bad head or no head at all?
45843Another Secundinus of Carpis[489] said:"Are heretics Christians or not?
45843Answer me, wherefore have ye separated yourselves?
45843Answer me, wherefore have ye separated yourselves?
45843Are none of such a character anointed among you?
45843Are none, therefore, of these to be delivered?
45843Are proceedings wrongly taken when kings forbid division?
45843Are the sins of_ traditors_, as I began to say, heavier than those of schismatics?
45843Are these the thorns among which she is a lily, as it is said in the same Song?
45843Are these two whom you mention the vast number of whom you spoke?
45843Are they not sinners?
45843Are thieves and murderers not contrary to the law, which says,"Thou shalt not kill; thou shalt not steal?
45843Are this man''s sins forgiven or not?
45843Are those things not an obstacle to those who are patient, and tolerate the tares lest the wheat should be rooted out together with them?
45843Are we again without the knowledge of the way of peace, who study to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace?
45843Are we not to call murderers the enemies and foes of the Lord?
45843Are we to compare with this persecution which Hagar suffered the case of holy David, who was persecuted by unrighteous Saul?
45843Are we to suppose, therefore, that there are two Holy Spirits?
45843Are you innocent or guilty?
45843Are you more righteous than Paul, more perfect than that great apostle, who was wo nt to commend himself to the prayers of those whom he taught?
45843Are you more righteous than the evangelist John, who says,"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us?
45843Are you not afraid that as many satellites of Gildo will be sought for among you, as there are men who may have been baptized by Optatus?
45843Are you not utterly dissatisfied with yourself?
45843Are you really so filled with fear of riches, that, having nothing, you possess all things?
45843Are you thinking of the lesson which we learned as boys?
45843Are, then, ill- affectioned murderers successors of the apostles?
45843Baptized by the dead, the, who?
45843Baptized twice, or not at all, which the worst case?
45843But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
45843But do you not know, or rather, have you not read, that the guilt of one who instigates a murder is greater than the guilt of him who carries it out?
45843But does it follow that because the water is not unto salvation it is not the identical water?
45843But how if they both are founded on truth, and could not be used by you for the expulsion of others except with the aid of falsehood?
45843But how shall I call you merciful when you inflict punishment on the righteous?
45843But if all perished in pollution through that custom, from what cavern do they issue without the original truth, and with all the cunning of calumny?
45843But if both of them were foes of Christianity, why did you thus appeal to one of them?
45843But if he had innocence, why did he persecute the innocent?
45843But if he was not polluted by communion with them, why do they not follow his example in maintaining unity?
45843But if it can be retained outside, why may it not also be given there?
45843But if the Church remained, the good are in no wise contaminated by the bad in such communion; answer me, therefore, why did ye break the bond?
45843But if the evil do not pollute the good in unity, how do they defend themselves against the charge of sacrilegious separation?
45843But if they are dead, whence is there life in the baptism which they gave?
45843But if you are guilty, why do you not fly for refuge to His mercy?
45843But if you are not suffering persecution, why are you unwilling to reply to us?
45843But if you pray, as our great Master deigned to teach us, how do you say,"Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us?"
45843But if you wish that we should be your foes, why do you kill your foes?"
45843But this, they say, is the very thing which disquiets us,--If we are unrighteous, wherefore do you seek our company?
45843But to what profit is it that I should reproduce all his insulting terms?
45843But to whom shall I address myself, or how shall I address myself to them, seeing that in them I find no time wherein to speak?
45843But what does he mean by adding,"This, brethren, we ought to shun and avoid, separating ourselves from so great a sin?"
45843But what else did all of them do, in judging no one, or removing from the right of communion any one who entertained a different opinion?
45843But what else is conduct like yours but ignorance of what to say, combined with want of power to abstain from evil- speaking?
45843But what has it to do with me?
45843But what has this to do with us?
45843But what have you really done, except to cause them to be quoted twice?
45843But what is the need of allowing this accursed wrong for a single day, or a single hour?
45843But what kind of argument is this, that"a heretic must be considered not to have baptism, because he has not the Church?"
45843But who can ever doubt that a baptized person can be separated from the Church?
45843But who can fail to understand what they may be saying in their hearts?
45843But who is rash enough to say that he would have been likely to assert what is false, when it is quite possible that he was asserting what is true?
45843But why do we make inquiry into these points?
45843But why should we make a longer dissertation on this point?
45843But you acknowledge that you rejoice in the name of Donatus, do you also take any pleasure in the name of Optatus?
45843But"if innocence is on your side, why do you persecute us with the sword?"
45843By what means then have they been cleansed, who at this day, after he has been condemned, are certainly not washed again?
45843Can it be that envy and malicious strife are a small evil?
45843Can it be that schism does not involve hatred of one''s brethren?
45843Can it be that, when he who is baptized is unaware of the faithlessness of his baptizer, it is then Christ who is the origin and root and head?"
45843Can it be, that when he who is baptized is unaware of the faithlessness of his baptizer, it is then Christ who is the origin and root and head?
45843Can it really be that a man would spare Christ if He were walking here on earth who speaks against Him while He sits in heaven?
45843Can it, however, be said on this account that they do not receive the complete sacrament?
45843Can we maintain that his very ignorance forms a head, when his baptizer is either a bad head or none at all?
45843Can you reply in turn that you know nothing of Donatus?
45843Catholic, the wicked, can not be saved, 105, 106; ought we to prefer a, of an abandoned life, to a blameless heretic?
45843Could it be, then, that he was suddenly changed to cruelty, when, on descending from the mount, he ordered so many thousands to be slain?
45843Did He not commend the seat of Moses, and maintain the honour of the seat, while He convicted those that sat in it?
45843Did Optatus, whom you knew, make you a thief by being your colleague, or not?
45843Did he live because faith was in his company?
45843Did the Church not exist at all before Agrippinus, with whom that new kind of system began, at variance with all previous custom?
45843Did the dead hurt him who was living in unity?
45843Did the sacrilege of schismatics defile Cyprian, or did it not?
45843Do men gather grapes of thorns?
45843Do none die well known among you to be given to such things, or openly indulging in them?
45843Do not those very men kiss your heads, on whose heads you pass so serious a judgment by this interpretation which you place upon the passage?
45843Do you not hear the words of another Scripture,"In sin did my mother conceive me?
45843Do you not yet understand that whatever you allege against us you allege against His words?
45843Do you not, when you hear this, answer_ Amen_, and by saying this in a loud voice, place your seal on the king''s decree by a holy and solemn act?"
45843Do you perceive of how devilish a nature your pride is?
45843Do you see at length how that sentence of yours, like an empty bladder, has rattled not only with a meaningless sound, but on your own head?
45843Do you wish to know which of these actions is conducive to Christian peace?
45843Does he not know what he says?
45843Does it at all follow that we say, The man himself also is truthful, because we say, This sacrament is true?
45843Does it, because it fears the shortlived fires of the furnace for a few, therefore abandon all to the eternal fires of hell?
45843Does not the same apostle say,"To be carnally- minded is death?
45843Drunkenness, can it exist alone, without involving other sins?
45843Faith, or guilt?
45843For I ask of you of whom it was that the Apostle Paul said this?
45843For I would ask whether you use the Lord''s prayer in your devotions?
45843For as I seem to be hard pressed when it is said to me,"Does then a heretic confer remission of sins?"
45843For as to what Jeremiah says--"Why do those who grieve me prevail against me?
45843For do you not, to the utmost of your power, strive to slay the Lord Himself, since even to Himself you will not yield?
45843For does any one represent fictitious children to a man who wishes for an heir?
45843For has he in any way said, If I do it against my will, then shall I not be a dispenser of the gospel?
45843For he says to them,"Was Paul crucified for you?
45843For how do you know what feelings he entertains towards you whom you suppose to be cruel?
45843For how does He draw them to Him if He leaves them to themselves, so that each should choose what he pleases?
45843For how does the apostle himself come to say so much about the sins of schisms and heresies?
45843For if he was a persecutor, why do you answer Amen to the words of a persecutor?
45843For if heresy is of God, it may have the divine favour; but if it be not of God, how can it either have or confer on any one the grace of God?"
45843For if that closed garden can contain the thorns of the devil, why can not the fountain of Christ equally flow beyond the garden''s bounds?
45843For if you have sin, who is there that shall pray for you, according to your interpretation of the words?
45843For if you were to ask of me what number two is, singular or plural, what could I answer, except that it was plural?
45843For if you wish to bring forth proofs from holy Scripture, will you bring forth even those which you can not find therein?
45843For it is written in Solomon,''He that is washed by one dead, what availeth his washing?
45843For the Lord Christ says,''If a man shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul, what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
45843For the prophet David says, speaking in the person of Christ,''Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
45843For the sheep might say to the shepherd with equal absurdity, If I do wrong in straying from the flock, why do you search after me?
45843For this, too, the same apostle says:"What agreement hath the temple of God with idols?
45843For was it not before Christ was born inf the world that the Maccabees, and the three children, and Daniel, did and suffered what you told of them?
45843For what assistance from the laws rendered by the civil powers was ever of any avail against them?
45843For what could he have said, except that the charges brought against Silvanus were false?
45843For what is it that we abominate in heretics except their blasphemies?
45843For what man can feel secure about a man, when it is written,"Cursed be the man that trusteth in man?
45843For what reason, except that he could not find any mist dark enough to deceive the minds of even the slowest and sleepiest of men?
45843For what says He?
45843For what shall be forgiven to one free from sin?
45843For what should he endeavour to say, when, whatever course he chose, he was sure to be defeated?
45843For when have you ever had the power without using it?
45843For whence is that which you do not understand:"Let the righteous smite me, it shall be a kindness; and let him reprove me?"
45843For where is what you quoted written?
45843For which of our party is there who would desire, I do not say that one of them should perish, but should even lose any of his possessions?
45843For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
45843For who can be ignorant that the primacy of his apostleship is to be preferred to any episcopate in the world?
45843For who can fail to see that what I say is true?
45843For who can possibly love us more than Christ, who laid down His life for His sheep?
45843For who could have believed that he would have brought forward words which tell so much for us against himself?
45843For who expects in these days that those on whom hands are laid that they may receive the Holy Spirit should forthwith begin to speak with tongues?
45843For why, when free- will is given by God to man, should adulteries be punished by the laws, and sacrilege allowed?
45843For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
45843For"what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?"
45843For, to say nothing of your other faults, do the drunken form a portion of the sober, or are the covetous reckoned among the portion of the wise?
45843Further, if Egypt be not Paradise, how can the water of Paradise be in Egypt?
45843Further, if even the deceitful have the true baptism, how do they have it who possess it in truthfulness?
45843Further, if heresy be not the Church, how can the baptism of the Church exist among heretics?"
45843Further, since the sand is not the Church, how can baptism exist with those who build upon the sand by hearing the words of Christ and doing them not?
45843Granted that he ought to have done so; but, as a matter of fact, he did not, or he was not able: what is your verdict about him?
45843Has the devil what is his within the unity of the Church, and shall Christ not have what is His without?
45843Have all the workers of wickedness no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread?
45843Have they anything to urge in their defence except the plea,"We choose to have it so?"
45843Have we both won the victory, or are we both defeated?
45843Hear then the words of Peter, where he says,"What glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye take it patiently?
45843Him whom you condemn?
45843Him whom you have made a murderer?
45843Him whom you slay?
45843How does a murderer cleanse and sanctify the water?
45843How then can they have baptism, or how can they administer it in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost?
45843How then do you baptize in the name of the Trinity?
45843How then is there in you that charity which rejoices not in iniquity?
45843How then was it that Cyprian, and so many of his colleagues, did not perish?
45843How then was it, that though they were not baptized, their sins remained not on their heads?
45843How then were those in unity who were not at peace?
45843I ask, where shall we find means to cleanse it?
45843I ask, who is there that can say that we have chosen what is evil, except one who shall say that Christ taught what was evil?
45843I grant that it is so; but what has this to do with the question of repeating baptism?
45843I think I hear some one saying,"do you proceed to tell us what Cyprian wrote to Jubaianus?"
45843If he was cleansed, I ask from what source?
45843If innocence is on your side, why do you persecute us with the sword?
45843If it did not, then by what offence on the part of others can the guiltless possibly be denied, if the sacrilege of schism can not defile them?
45843If it is the foe of Christianity that hears such things as these, what then are they from whom he hears them?
45843If it was rightly done, why do they accuse the world because they are so received?
45843If men of gentle temper appropriate the term of light, where shall the madness of the Circumcelliones be esteemed to be, excepting in the darkness?
45843If not in the ark, how in the Church?
45843If such a union with the party of Maximianus does not pollute the Donatists, how can the mere report concerning the Africans pollute the foreigners?
45843If the one party held the truth, were they infected by the others, or no?
45843If the others held the truth, were they infected by the first, or no?
45843If there was contamination, the Church even then ceased to exist; answer me, therefore, whence came ye forth hither?
45843If they are Christians, why are they not in the Church of God?
45843If they are Christians, why are they not on that rock on which the Church is built?
45843If they are not there, where will they be except on the left hand?
45843If they say,"They were received for the sake of peace,"our answer is,"Why then do ye not acknowledge the only true and full peace?
45843If you answer, What is that to us?
45843If you answer, You do not prove the fact, why may not the whole world answer you in turn, Neither do you prove it?
45843If you are innocent, why do you speak against the testimony of Christ?
45843If you say he did not, I ask why he did not,--because he was not a thief himself?
45843If you say that you were right in persecuting them, why are you unwilling to suffer the like yourselves?
45843If"whosoever can not give the Holy Spirit can not baptize,"why does the murderer baptize within the Church?
45843If, therefore, we say that sins are not remitted there, how is he regenerate who is baptized among them?
45843In what manner, indeed, do your dead men baptize according to your interpretation?
45843In what way then do you wish us to be the instructors of kings?
45843Is Christ divided?
45843Is Christ divided?
45843Is he like a merchant ship, to discharge one burden, and to take on him another?
45843Is it I who suffer your violence, or you who persecute the innocent?"
45843Is it a lighter matter that a soul should not keep faith with God, than that a woman should be faithless to her husband?
45843Is it because they are not outside?
45843Is it because they are worse from the very fact that they are outside?
45843Is it because they had not lost what they had before received?
45843Is it not most truly written,"For the Holy Spirit of discipline will flee deceit?
45843Is it not rather the case that he not only involves himself in guilt, but is held to be a forger, and that which he composes a forgery?"
45843Is it not that praise of charity in which you indulge that commonly proves your calumny in the clearest light of truth?
45843Is it not usual for the choice of two alternatives to be offered to an antagonist, when it is impossible that he should adopt both?
45843Is it that outside it is unlawfully transmitted?
45843Is it that you might all share equally in bearing the burden of schism?
45843Is it the case, because the best morals are chosen by freedom of will, that therefore the worst morals are not punished by integrity of law?
45843Is that wrong action when kings minister to the witness of Christ in defence of the Church?
45843Is this at all like"What if the sky should fall?"
45843It had been enough for the Christian faith that these things should be done by the Jews: why do you, wretched men, do these others in addition?"
45843It is surely not the city which can not be hid; and whence is this, except that it is not founded on the mountain?
45843Might not this be said with all the semblance of truth?
45843Must we do such impious despite to the beard of Aaron and to the skirts of his garments, as to suppose that they are to be placed there?
45843Must we then hold that anything is true, because a lying representation is given of it?
45843My wound is grievous; whence shall I be healed?
45843My wound is stubborn, whence shall I be healed?
45843O grave, where is thy victory?
45843O how you would wish that you could say, It was indeed ill done that supplication should so be made to Julian; but what has that to do with us?
45843Of these I would ask, whether by coming to their sea they were restored to life, or whether they are still dead there?
45843Once more, whom do you teach?
45843Or are you indeed endowed with such an eloquence, that you can show to us some innocence which yet committeth sin?
45843Or are you not such as the common voice of Africa proclaims him to have been?
45843Or can it be that the murderer is holy?
45843Or could anything be said in stronger terms, than that covetousness should be called idolatry, as the same apostle declared?
45843Or do you say, Even if I am guilty of sacrilege, I ought not to be slain by you?
45843Or do you say, I did not consent with him, because his deeds were displeasing to me?
45843Or do you say, I have not made a schism?
45843Or do you say, I saw in him the bishop, I did not see in him the thief?
45843Or do you say, Theft is one thing, delivery of the sacred books or persecution is another?
45843Or do you serve God in such wise that we should be murdered at your hands?
45843Or do you think that you are not to be compared to that fratricide?
45843Or how can they baptize any one in the name of Christ whom Christ Himself declares to be His enemies?
45843Or how can those baptize any one in the name of Christ whom Christ Himself declares to be His enemies?"
45843Or how comes that verse in the Psalms,"If of a truth ye love justice, judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
45843Or how, again, can you baptize in the name of the Holy Ghost, when the Holy Ghost came only on those apostles who were not guilty of treason?
45843Or if the Jews themselves, against whom the Lord directed His reproach, were to believe in Him, would they not be allowed to be baptized?
45843Or if you call us guilty, why do you, who are yourselves innocent, seek for our company?"
45843Or is it perhaps that schismatics, when received without baptism, bring no infection, but that it is brought by those who deliver up the sacred books?
45843Or is it rather your heads which should be healed, who run so grievously astray?
45843Or is it that it is not in respect of man''s merit, but of the sacrament of baptism itself, that it can not be given outside?
45843Or is robbery not unrighteousness?
45843Or is the incapacity for seeing this an element in your ruin?
45843Or must we even look on crime as lighter when committed with threatening of the sword than with treachery of the tongue?
45843Or was it because they were contained within the unity of the Church?
45843Or will you perchance endeavour to prove the truth of what you say?
45843Otherwise another man might say: What can be said of the man who approves the baptism of the unjust, save that he communicates with the unjust?
45843Otherwise he would have said,"You forgave me it before; why do you again demand it?"
45843Ought we then to be thought unreasonably persistent, if we desire to consider this same epistle by which Jubaianus was convinced?
45843PETILIANUS said:"Accordingly, as we have said, the Lord Christ cried,''Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
45843PETILIANUS said:"But to pass rapidly through these minor points: can he be said to lay down the law who is not a magistrate of the court?
45843PETILIANUS said:"But what have you to do with the kings of this world, in whom Christianity has never found anything save envy towards her?
45843PETILIANUS said:"But wherein do you fulfil the commandments of God?
45843PETILIANUS said:"Did the apostles persecute any one?
45843PETILIANUS said:"For what kind of faith is that which is in you which is devoid of charity?
45843PETILIANUS said:"If you wish that we should be your friends, why do you drag us to you against our will?
45843PETILIANUS said:"Is it then the case that God has ordered the massacre even of schismatics?
45843PETILIANUS said:"Lastly, what is the justification of persecution?
45843PETILIANUS said:"The Lord Christ cries again from heaven to Paul,''Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
45843PETILIANUS said:"To you the prophet says,''Peace, peace; and where is there peace?
45843PETILIANUS said:"Under what law, then, do you make out that you are Christians, seeing that you do what is contrary to the law?"
45843PETILIANUS said:"Where is the law of God?
45843PETILIANUS said:"Where is the saying of the Lord Christ,''Whosoever shall smite thee on the right cheek, turn to him the other also?
45843Privatus of Sufes said:"What can be said of the man who approves the baptism of heretics, save that he communicates with heretics?"
45843Quintus of Aggya[581] said:"He who has a thing can give it; but what can the heretics give, who are well known to have nothing?"
45843Rogatianus of Nova[574] said:"Christ established the Church, the devil heresy: how can the synagogue of Satan have the baptism of Christ?"
45843See you not that I too have proved it, if this amounts to proof?
45843Shall I not rather call you a most unrighteous communion, so long as you pollute souls?"
45843Should you think that you were going beyond the words of the gospel if you should say, All they that take the cudgel shall perish with the cudgel?
45843Since"no one can give what he does not possess himself,"how does a murderer give the Holy Spirit?
45843Tell me, by what means?
45843The answer to which is, That all are the opponents of Christ, to whom, on their saying,"Lord, have we not in Thy name done many wonderful things?"
45843Then I too will rejoin again in your own words, What is that to us?
45843Then he goes on to ask,"Who is the man, and from what corner has he started up, that you propose to us?"
45843There was no one to say to him, Dare you seek protection at the hand of soldiers, when your Lord was dragged by them to undergo His suffering?
45843They might with more right say to you, Why did you seek out us?
45843Those then who were corrupted by their evil communications, and followed them, were not they likewise falling with them into the pit?
45843To come next to what you think you say against us with so much point:"If we do ill in urging this, why do you seek after us?"
45843To him we answer: How then comes it that it may be where the rock is not, but only sand; seeing that the Church is on the rock, and not on sand?
45843To him we answer: What, is God among the covetous?
45843To him we answer: Why does not he also make two baptisms who maintains that the unrighteous also can baptize?
45843To this we answer: Are the unrighteous Christians or not?
45843To whom did he betray Him?
45843Towards whom did Christ use violence?
45843Victorious of Thabraca[494] said:"If heretics may baptize, and give remission of sins, why do we destroy their credit, and call them heretics?"
45843Was John not contained within that unity, the friend of the Bridegroom, the preparer of the way of the Lord, the baptizer of the Lord Himself?
45843Was anything wanting to their birth to whom the apostle says,"I have fed you with milk, and not with meat, even as babes in Christ?"
45843Was he cleansed, or was he not?
45843Was it because Optatus was in unity with you?
45843Was it not the same lesson which those persecutors of the Christians wished to teach, by resisting whom the crown of martyrdom was gained?
45843Was not he too a murderer at your suggestion, who, like king Ahab, whom we showed to have been persuaded by a woman, slew a poor and righteous man?
45843We answer: How is the covetous man heard, or the robber, and usurer, and murderer?
45843We answer: What of those who, when they are baptized, turn themselves to the Lord with their lips and not with their heart?
45843We ask from whom he is to receive faith who is baptized by one that is faithless?
45843We make answer to them: How long do you rest your support on man?
45843Were not all of these pagans, persecuting generally the Christian name on behalf of their idols?
45843Were not the people of Sodom heathens, that is to say, Gentiles?
45843Were they not dead who said,"Let us eat and drink, for to- morrow we die?
45843Were they within, or without?
45843Were you afraid that you should be indicted for high treason?
45843What Macarius, what soldier was pursuing you?
45843What advantage can you derive from the sobriety of Donatus, when you are defiled by the drunkenness of the Circumcelliones?
45843What agents ever exacted payment of a debt which they had been unwilling to discharge?
45843What are ye doing?
45843What avaricious man ever wished for another to share his possessions?
45843What could admit of speedier proof?
45843What could be more kind?
45843What did the Jews do to Him?
45843What fellowship was there, then, on the part of your righteousness with his unrighteousness, when you approached together to the same altar?
45843What has this to do with the question under discussion?
45843What have we here to do with Pilus and Furius,[1086] who defended the cause of injustice against justice?
45843What have you proved?
45843What have you shown?
45843What have you to say to this?
45843What if Constantine had not lived to enjoy so long a reign, and such prolonged prosperity, who was the first to pass many decrees against your errors?
45843What if another were to say as follows: One faith, one baptism, but of the righteous only, to whom alone authority is given to baptize?
45843What if another were to say: If the unrighteous may baptize, and give remission of sins, why do we destroy their credit, and call them unrighteous?
45843What if he approached baptism itself in deceit?
45843What is it to all the earth, which sings a new song?
45843What is it to all the nations of the earth?
45843What is it to the seed of Abraham, in which all the nations of the earth are blessed?
45843What is it to those who praise the name of the Lord from the rising of the sun to the setting of the same?
45843What is it, then, that we were waiting for?
45843What kind of man, then, must you be, who fear to mention those by name, who, as you say, have perished?
45843What madness is this that you display?
45843What master was there who was not compelled to live in dread of his own servant, if he had put himself under the guardianship of the Donatists?
45843What more learned definition could be given?
45843What official ever ventured so much as to breathe in their presence?
45843What other answer can he give, but that it is ill to belong to the party of Donatus, and not to the unity of the Catholic Church?
45843What says Cyprian?
45843What shall we say of them who, by their own showing, are unquestionably traitors?
45843What shall we say then?
45843What then can the name of Donatus profit you, when all of you alike are polluted by Optatus?
45843What then is the cause, except that the baptism which Paul ordered them to receive was not the same as that which was given at the hands of John?
45843What then is the function of brotherly love?
45843What then is there unfitting, if, according to a similar will of the Lord, the Catholics now hold the things which formerly the heretics used to have?
45843What then was the use of their being quoted, if they had nothing to do with the matter?
45843What then will they do whose heads were anointed by one guilty of a capital offence?
45843What then will you make of your interpretation?
45843What then, have you proved it?
45843What then, ye Donatists, what have ye to say to this?
45843What then, you will ask, did David really say?
45843What then?
45843What then?
45843What then?
45843What then?
45843What therefore is likely to become of you who have burned the most holy law of our God and Judge?
45843What therefore is likely to become of you who have burned the most holy law of our God and Judge?"
45843What, according to your views, are you profited by the innocence of Donatus, when you are stained by the rapacity of Optatus?
45843What, does he who holds communion with one who does this not hold communion with a sinner?
45843What, then, do they venture to say, when their mouth is closed[63] by the force of truth, with which they will not agree?
45843What, then, he says, do we receive with you, when we come over to your side?
45843What, therefore, must we say of those whom he persuaded with success?
45843When does unrighteousness find for herself such advocates as these, through whose madness she is esteemed victorious?
45843When he gives this warning, O ye miserable men, why do you sit in that seat?
45843When he hears,"Every good tree bringeth good fruit, but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit: do men gather grapes of thorns?
45843When it is said to a Christian,"Be a Christian,"what other lesson is taught, save a denial that he is a Christian?
45843When will you see God, who are possessed with blindness in the impure malice of your hearts?"
45843When you falsely declare to the kings of this world that we hold your opinions, do you not make up a falsehood?"
45843When, therefore, I heard this, what could I do but give thanks to Christ, who had compelled the man to make confession?
45843When, therefore, these were received with their followers, who gave to those whom they baptized what previously they did not have?
45843Whence also the Apostle Paul finds fault with those who said they were of Paul, saying,"Was Paul crucified for you?
45843Whence also the apostle says,"Without were fightings, within were fears;"[995] and again,"Who is weak, and I am not weak?
45843Whence then did they receive it?
45843Whence then should I receive faith, seeing that I was baptized unwittingly by one that was faithless?
45843Whence then sprang the origin of Donatus?
45843Where is that other saying of the same apostle,''In stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft?
45843Where is the fortitude that marks the Circumcelliones?
45843Where is the saying of the Apostle Paul,''If a man smite you in the face?''
45843Where is therefore the fulfilment of your threatening and tremendous promise of so many who should support your argument?
45843Where then shall we find means to cleanse his conscience?
45843Where then were these wicked men whom the apostle thus condemns, and in whom there was so much that was good to cause him to rejoice?
45843Where, then, is the Church?
45843Where, then, is the Church?
45843Wherefore did ye separate yourselves?
45843Wherefore have ye erected an altar in opposition to the whole world?
45843Wherefore in such a case did you not hearken to the voice of the Lord, when He says,"But I say unto you, that ye resist not evil?
45843Wherefore, then, have ye severed yourselves?
45843Wherefore, then, have ye severed yourselves?
45843Who are they, however, that have enacted laws by which your audacity could be repressed?
45843Who betrayed Christ?
45843Who dared even threaten one who sought his ruin with punishment?
45843Who dared to exact payment of a debt from one who consumed his stores, or from any debtor whatsoever, that sought their assistance or protection?
45843Who deny it?
45843Who ever endeavoured to avenge those who were put to death in their massacres?
45843Who is it, therefore, that he calls a sinner?
45843Who that was inflamed with the desire of empire, or elated by the pride of its possession, ever wished to have a partner?
45843Who was running after you, I pray?
45843Who will be found so utterly mad as to assert this?
45843Who will be mad enough to assert this?
45843Who will maintain this, when both the origin of, and perseverance in schism consists in nothing else save hatred of the brethren?
45843Who will say so much as this?
45843Who would be mad enough to assert that?
45843Who would be satisfied with this, I ask?
45843Who would say such things as this if they had the fear of God before their eyes?
45843Whom did He compel?
45843Whom do you teach,_ traditor_?
45843Why are those who were baptized by him not said to have been baptized by one dead?
45843Why did not their falseness as men corrupt in them the truth of God?
45843Why did not your party examine that baptizer, as John, in the opinion of Petilianus, was examined?
45843Why did they who were baptized by that hypocrite, whose sins were concealed, fail to try the spirit, to prove that it was not of God?
45843Why did you declare that only righteousness found a place with him?
45843Why did you seek to recover the basilicas from him?
45843Why do they pass the eyes of pride over those parts only which are sound?
45843Why do those who make me sad prevail against me?
45843Why do we both suffer and cause unnecessary delay?
45843Why do you ask me?
45843Why do you call the apostolic chair a seat of the scornful?
45843Why do you disturb the system of belief in respect of matters without reason?
45843Why do you make an outcry before you prove your case?
45843Why do you not allow that it is always Christ who gives faith, for the purpose of making a man a Christian by giving it?
45843Why do you not allow that it is always Christ who gives faith, for the purpose of making a man a Christian by giving it?
45843Why do you turn away your life from errors by arguments of folly?
45843Why does he say to this same Jubaianus that he is not doing anything new or sudden, but only what had been established by Agrippinus?
45843Why does your tongue resound before your character is approved?
45843Why not?
45843Why should we go over our argument again?
45843Why should we maintain the contrary?
45843Why then are heretics alone said to be incapable of possessing baptism, which is possessed by the very partners in their condemnation?
45843Why then could they not also transmit outside the Church what they were able to possess outside?
45843Why then did you thus run headlong with your eyes shut, so that when you said,"What have you to do with the kings of this world?"
45843Why then have you not made mention of our emperors, that is to say, of emperors of our communion?
45843Why then is a man baptized again after receiving baptism from the wheat, and not after receiving it from the chaff?
45843Why then should I press you further?
45843Why then should we, while defending His house to the best of the abilities given us by God, expect to meet with any other treatment from His enemies?
45843Why then were they able both to have and to give true baptism?
45843Why then, after this, do you claim to yourself a bishopric as the heir of a worse traitor?
45843Why therefore can they not baptize outside?
45843Why therefore did he add what he made so much of adding,--the word_ wittingly_, which he calumniously accused me of having suppressed?
45843Why therefore do you puff out your cheeks before you have shown the righteousness of your deeds?
45843Why were their names brought in, except that they might make a diversion in favour of a man who had nothing to say?
45843Why, he says, do I not even do penance in your body?
45843Why, then, did you separate yourselves from the innocent?
45843Why, then, do they baptize?
45843Why, then, do they baptize?
45843Why, then, while ye fear those whom ye have rebaptized, do ye grudge yourselves and them the entrance to salvation?
45843Why, therefore, should not the Church use force in compelling her lost sons to return, if the lost sons compelled others to their destruction?
45843Will you bring it about that those arms shall be no longer ours, because you endeavour to appropriate them first?
45843Will you show the party of Donatus, unknown to the countless nations to whom Christ is known?
45843XXXV.--Was the water administered by this man not lying?
45843You will say, What has that to do with us?
45843[ 1005] What then is meant by the head in that priesthood, what by the beard, what by the skirts of the garments?
45843[ 1108] Was it that He was fleeing from him, but at the same time not deserting His sacraments, though ministered by him?
45843[ 1220] Where is what the Donatists were wo nt to cry: Man is at liberty to believe or not believe?
45843[ 1255] Why, then, he says, do you not baptize me, that you might wash me from my sins?
45843[ 28] Did he lack anything in respect of baptism, of the gospel, of the sacraments?
45843[ 353] How can darkness bless the oil?
45843[ 354] In the question,"Dost thou believe in eternal life and remission of sins through the holy Church?"
45843[ 56] But what is really fruit, save that new offspring, of which He further says,"A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another?
45843[ 85] Who will now doubt that that was the worse crime which received the heavier punishment?
45843[ 863] But I would ask by what earthly laws it is ordained that the followers of Maximianus should be driven from their place?
45843[ 871] Do you say again, What is that to us?
45843[ 883] But when the prophet says to you,"Peace, peace; and where is there peace?"
45843[ 911] But what else was it, save such deeds as these of yours, that made it necessary for the very laws to be passed of which you complain?
45843[ 924] But when you persecute our ancestors with false witness even now that they are dead, whence have you received this form?
45843[ 963] But there was no one yet to say to him, What have you to do( not with kings, but) with tribunes and the arms of kings?
45843[ 964] In that case, when would you make an end of talking such nonsense as you do, seeing that even now you are unwilling to hold your tongues?
45843[ 971] But if he was not a persecutor, why do you call those persecutors who deter you from the madness of blasphemy?
45843[ 993] How then could Jeremiah have said this, as though he desired to be baptized, and sought to avoid being baptized by impious men?
45843and are they not wrongly taken when bishops divide unity?
45843and are those to place their trust in princes who were disposed to place it in the Lord?
45843and how much less the whole world, whom you calumniate with poisonous mouth?
45843and in Thy name done many wonderful works?
45843and in Thy name have cast out devils?
45843and is it not wrong action when bishops contradict the witness of Christ in order to deny the Church?
45843and what communion hath light with darkness?
45843and what concord hath Christ with Belial?
45843and whence does he receive true faith, who is baptized unwittingly by one that is faithless?
45843and who restored to themselves what they had lost?
45843and why do we not say, This sacrament is true, as Paul said,"This witness is true?"
45843are they not also condemned of themselves to whom it was said,"For wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself?
45843but who are in the society of the just?
45843can not you even yet call to mind that only those are sought after who have perished?
45843do not they possess an adulterous mind?
45843from heaven, or of men?
45843from what land did he spring?
45843if then the baptizer is not his origin and root and head, who is it from whom he receives faith?
45843or because you disapprove of it?
45843or because you do not know it?
45843or did Christ betray any one?"
45843or does it rather save all whom it can, even though those whom it can not save should perish in their own infatuation?
45843or from what sea did he emerge?
45843or from what sky did he fall?
45843or is the oil of the fornicator not the oil of the sinner?
45843or is what he lays down to be considered law, when in the character of a private person he disturbs public rights?
45843or that it may be of avail in healing a man, but not in consecrating baptism?
45843or that, if they shall advance, and correct the vanity of their carnal opinions, they must seek again what they had received?
45843or were ye baptized in the name of Donatus?
45843or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
45843or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
45843or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
45843or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
45843or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
45843or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?"
45843or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
45843or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
45843or when was that either suggested to our Lord, or answered by our Lord?
45843or who would say, that because such men had or gave the baptism of Christ, that it was therefore violated by their iniquities?
45843or would any one look for true heirs in the falsehood of a picture?
45843shall their unbelief make the faith of God of none effect?
45843than martyrdom?
45843that a man should confess Christ before men, and be baptized in his own blood?
45843that it is much the same as if I had said, What if the sky should fall?
45843was Paul crucified for you?
45843was Paul crucified for you?
45843were his sins remitted, or were they not?
45843what more humble?
45843what more manifest?
45843what more manifest?
45843what will you show?
45843what would then remain for you, except that, if you would, you should show your love of peace, or otherwise should hold your tongues?
45843whence then does he receive his faith?
45843where is the origin from which he springs?
45843where is the origin from which he springs?
45843where is the root of which he is a shoot?
45843where is the root of which he is a shoot?
45843where is your Christianity, if you not only commit murders and put men to death, but also order such things to be done?"
45843where the head which is his starting- point?
45843where the head which is his starting- point?
45843who is offended, and I burn not?
45843why did you thus present a petition to the other?
45843why do not you, when you reproach with any one whom you will, not listen in turn to our answer, We too know nothing of it?
6048A wounded spirit who can bear?
6048Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the days that he shall dealin judgment"with thee?"
6048If God be for us, who can be against us?
6048Was not this man, think you, a giant? 6048 [ 257] How did these sturdy rogues and their fellows make David groan, mourn, and roar?
6048''And now why tarriest thou?
6048''And the Lord said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth- Gilead?
6048''And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do?
6048''Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?''
6048''Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?''
6048''Are we better than they?
6048''Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of?''
6048''Be ye not,''saith it,''unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?
6048''Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?
6048''Besides,''quoth the old gentleman,''should the Prince now, as he receives the petition, ask him and say, What is thy name?
6048''Cut it down, why cumbereth it the ground?''
6048''Cut it down, why doth it cumber the ground?''
6048''Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish?''
6048''For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty?
6048''For if God be for us, who shall be against us?
6048''Friend, how camest thou in hither?''
6048''Hast thou found me,''said Ahab,''O mine enemy?''
6048''Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail, saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn?
6048''Here see a soul that''s all despair; a man All hell; a spirit all wounds; who can A wounded spirit bear?
6048''How camest thou in hither?''
6048''How camest thou in hither?''
6048''How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?''
6048''How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity?
6048''How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?''
6048''How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation?''
6048''I made a covenant with mine eyes,''said Job,''why then should I think upon a maid?
6048''If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him''; how then can he be fruitful in the vineyard?
6048''Is there no place will serve to fit those for hell but the church, the vineyard of God?''
6048''Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize?
6048''Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize?
6048''Then thou shalt be clear from this my oath''; or,''How shall we clear ourselves?''
6048''They set their mouth against the heavens,''& c.''And they say, How doth God know?
6048''What ailed thee, O Jordan, that thou wast driven back?''
6048''What shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?''
6048''What, despair of bread in a land that is full of corn?
6048''What, my son?''
6048''Who art thou that judgest another man''s servant?''
6048''Who hath woe?
6048''Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name?
6048''Why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart?
6048''Why was I made to hear thy voice,''while so many more amiable and less guilty''make a wretched choice?''
6048''Wilt thou,''said Festus to Paul,''go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?''
6048''[ 120] Then said Mercy, This is much like to the saying of the Beloved,''What shall be given unto thee?
6048''or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?''
6048( Heb 7:26) and for depth, it is lower than hell, who can undermine it?
604813:5) Then said the guide, Do you hear him?
60484:10); and why seekest thou to bring us into the like condemnation?
6048A whoremaster, a drunkard, a thief, what are they but the devil''s baits by which he catcheth others?
6048ALL; take it where you will, and in what place you will,''All is profitable'': For what?
6048After this He led them into His garden, where was great variety of flowers; and he said, Do you see all these?
6048After this, she thought she saw two very ill- favoured ones standing by her bedside, and saying, What shall we do with this woman?
6048Again, Did not Moses write of the Saviour that was to come afterwards into the world?
6048Again, How basely do they behave themselves, how unlike are they to win, that think it enough to keep company with the hindmost?
6048Again, Was the man a good man?
6048Again, shall God, who is the truth, Say there is heaven and hell And shall men play that trick of youth To say, But who can tell?
6048Again,''If they hear not Moses and the prophets,''& c. As if he had said, Thou wouldst have me send one from the dead unto them; what needs that?
6048Again,''Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?
6048Ah, Mind, why didst thou do those things That now do work my woe?
6048Ah, Will, why was thou thus inclin''d Me ever to undo?
6048All our anxious inquiries should be, Is Emmanuel in Heart- castle?
6048All they,''that is, that are in hell, shall say,''Art thou also become weak as we?
6048All this is taught us by the spoons; for what need is there of spoons where there is nothing to eat but strong meat?
6048Also your neighbours are diligent for things that will perish; and will you be slothful for things that will endure for ever?
6048Also, what if she had laid wait round about him, to espy if he was not otherwise behind her back than he was before her face?
6048Also, wouldst thou know what a sad thing it is for any to turn their backs upon the gospel of Jesus Christ?
6048Am I a new creature in Him?
6048Amaziah having sinned against the Lord, he sends to him a prophet to reprove him; but Amaziah says,''Forbear, why shouldest thou be smitten?''
6048And a new heart and a new man must have objects of delight that are new, and like himself;''Old things are passed away''; why?
6048And again,''When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?''
6048And albeit, saith Satan, thou prayest sometimes, yet is not thy heart possessed with a belief that God will not regard thee?
6048And are not all His holy doctrines also stamped with the same Divine sanction?
6048And are not these pleasant sights?
6048And as he went down deeper, he said,''Grave, where is thy victory?''
6048And canst thou tell me who saves thee?
6048And could you at any time, with ease, get off the guilt of sin,[275] when, by any of these ways, it came upon you?
6048And did he do it before he had need to do it?
6048And did he do thus indeed?
6048And did he not behave himself valiantly?
6048And did none of these things discourage you?
6048And did the Father reveal His Son to you?
6048And did the old man give him money to set up with?
6048And did they make them welcome?
6048And did you ask him what man this was, and how you must be justified by Him?
6048And did you do as you were bidden?
6048And did you endeavour to mend?
6048And did you pray to God that He would bless your counsel to them?
6048And did you presently fall under the power of this conviction?
6048And did you think he spake true?
6048And did you think yourself well then?
6048And did you, said he, when I came up against this town of Mansoul, heartily wish that I might not have the victory over you?
6048And didst thou fear the lake and pit?
6048And do I desire to be found in Him; knowing by the Word, and feeling by the teaching of His Spirit, that I am totally lost in myself?
6048And do the things that truly are divine, Before thee more than gold or rubies shine?
6048And do they in thy conscience bear more sway To govern thee in faith and holiness, Than thou canst with thy heart and mouth express?
6048And do you think that the words of your book are certainly true?
6048And do you think the Lord will sit still, as I may say, and let thy tongue run as it lists, and yet never bring you to an account for the same?
6048And dost thou think that these are but threatenings, or that our King has not power to execute his words?
6048And dost thou think, wast thou there now, that thou art able to wrestle with the judgment of God?
6048And fools hate knowledge?''
6048And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither, not having a wedding- garment?''
6048And how did he carry it there?
6048And how did his good wife take it, when she saw that he had no amendment, but that he returned with the dog to his vomit, to his old courses again?
6048And how did you do then?
6048And how do they deceive souls?
6048And how doth God the Holy Ghost save thee?
6048And how if thou shouldst come but one quarter of an hour too late?
6048And how many did Samson slay with the jaw- bone of an ass?
6048And how seldom do they trouble their heads, to have their minds taken up with thoughts of the better?
6048And how then?
6048And how was He revealed unto you?
6048And how were they served that are mentioned in the 13th of Luke,''for staying till the door was shut?''
6048And if not to think of him, while at a distance, how can you endure to be in his presence?
6048And if our sun seems angry, hides his face, Shall it go down, shall night possess this place?
6048And if they are mute when dealt with by vessels of clay, what will they do when they shall be rebuked by the flames of a devouring fire?
6048And if they shall not escape that neglect, then how shall they escape that reject and turn their back upon''so great a salvation?''
6048And if thou dost, thou wilt run into the bosom of Christ and of God, and then what harm will that do thee?
6048And if, as unto Solomon, God should Propound to thee, What wouldst thou have?
6048And in the land of peace thou trustedst, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?''
6048And is it not reason that they who did this horrid villany, should have their doings laid before their faces upon the tables of their heart?
6048And is it possible it should be forgotten, or that, by it, our joy, light, and heaven should not be made the sweeter to all eternity?
6048And is not this, said he, a shame?
6048And it was so indeed, thought Mr. Badman; was my troubles only the effects of my distemper, and because ill vapours got up into my brain?
6048And look, did not I tell you?
6048And must we be all alone?
6048And now had he had a heart to do for Mansoul, what could he do for it or wherein could he be profitable to her?
6048And sayest thou so, my dear?
6048And shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive be delivered?
6048And she said, Come, James, canst thou tell me who made thee?
6048And she''shall be glad for them''; for what?
6048And suppose they were the truly godly that made the first assault, can they be blamed?
6048And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith?
6048And the scorners delight in their scorning?
6048And then he answers himself:''Is not destruction to the wicked, and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?''
6048And then what doth he get thereby but loss and damage?
6048And then,''what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind?''
6048And was that all?
6048And was this all?
6048And what can our pretended giants do or say in comparison of these?
6048And what canst thou earn a day?
6048And what company shall we have there?
6048And what concord hath Christ with Belial?
6048And what did Badman do after his wife was dead?
6048And what did they say else?
6048And what did you do then?
6048And what did you do then?
6048And what did you reply?
6048And what did you say to him?
6048And what else?
6048And what else?
6048And what good will my vanities do, when death says he will have no nay?
6048And what harm will that do thee?
6048And what is it that makes you so desirous to go to Mount Zion?
6048And what revenge hast thou in thy heart against every thought of disobedience?
6048And what said Faithful to you then?
6048And what said he then?
6048And what said he then?
6048And what said the neighbours to him?
6048And what saw you else in the way?
6048And what sayest thou to thy perverting, knowingly, the right purport and intent of the law?
6048And what than fire?
6048And what the son of my vows?
6048And what was the other thing?
6048And what was the reason you did not?
6048And what, did you despair, or how?
6048And when a man is down, you know, what can he do?
6048And when the hand of the rulers are chief in a trespass, who can keep their people from being drowned in that trespass?
6048And whereabout does he dwell?
6048And whereas you ask me, Whither away?
6048And who can contradict him?
6048And who then shall dare to blame this our age consumed; or say that our years be cut off?
6048And who with him again but they?
6048And who with them but Mr. Badman?
6048And whose be the sheep that feed upon them?
6048And whose portrait is Bunyan describing here?
6048And why candlesticks, if they were not to hold the candles?
6048And why did you not bring them along with you?
6048And why might they not be a type of gospel sermons?
6048And why should a man so carelessly cast away himself, by giving heed to a stranger?
6048And why so?
6048And why?
6048And wilt thou not regard?
6048And with that she plucked out her letter,[28] and read it, and said to them, What now will ye say to this?
6048And without this, what is to be seen in the church of God?
6048And you are sure he was of this opinion?
6048And you ungodly children, how are your ungodly parents that lived and died ungodly, now in the pains of hell also?
6048And''will ye weary my God also?''
6048And, By what means have you so persevered therein?
6048And, How got you into the way?
6048And, Sir, you, as all our neighbours know, are a very observing man, pray, therefore, what do you think of them?
6048And, in reason, how could it be otherwise?
6048And, listening still, she thought she heard another answer it, saying-- For why?
6048And, moreover, my brother, thou talkest of ease in the grave; but hast thou forgotten the hell, whither for certain the murderers go?
6048And, said Christiana to Mr. Great- heart, Sir, will you do as we?
6048And, therefore, what need have they that one should be sent unto them in another way?
6048And,''Will ye rebel against the king?''
6048Are his feet shod with the Gospel of peace?
6048Are his loins girt about with truth?
6048Are his ministers slothful in tendering this unto you?
6048Are my prayers lost?
6048Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
6048Are not the seven churches in Asia called by name of candlesticks?
6048Are these"spirits of just men made perfect"-the angel- ministering spirits which are sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
6048Are they not all of equal authority?
6048Are they not death without, and unbelief within?
6048Are they the glorified inhabitants of the Celestial City?
6048Are we now almost got past the Enchanted Ground?
6048Are we truly convinced of sin, and converted to Christ?
6048Are you a married man?
6048Are you a married man?
6048Are you come out of it?
6048Are you going to the heavenly country?
6048Are you not sorry for what you have done?
6048Are you so hasty?
6048Art become freakish?
6048Art bound for hell, against all wind and weather?
6048Art not thou a murderer, a thief, a harlot, a witch, a sinner of the greatest size, and dost thou look for mercy now?
6048Art thou a buyer, and do things grow dear?
6048Art thou a fish, O man, art thou a fish?
6048Art thou a seller, and do things grow dear?
6048Art thou convinced that she is nothing more?
6048Art thou got into the right way?
6048Art thou in Christ''s righteousness?
6048Art thou not a graceless wretch?
6048Art thou not planted by the water- side?
6048Art thou resolved to follow me?
6048Art thou resolved to strip?
6048Art thou therefore discharged and unladen of these things?
6048Art thou to buy or sell?
6048Art thou troubled with cross children, cross relations, cross neighbours?
6048Art thou unladen of the things of this world, as pride, pleasures, profits, lusts, vanities?
6048Art[ thou] resolved to follow me?
6048As he saith again, Am I not an apostle?
6048As if he should say, what need have they that one should be sent to them from the dead?
6048As yet despise you the offers of peace, and deliverance?
6048As yet will ye refuse the golden offers of Shaddai, and trust to the lies and falsehoods of Diabolus?
6048Ask the rich man spoken of in the ensuing treatise, who was the fool-- he or Lazarus?
6048At last there came a grave person to the gate, named Good- will, who asked who was there?
6048At that Pliable began to be offended, and angrily said to his fellow, Is this the happiness you have told me all this while of?
6048Aye, but Lord, what wilt thou do to quench their thirst?
6048Barren fig- tree, dost thou consider?
6048Barren fig- tree, dost thou hear what a striving there is between the vine- dresser and the husbandman, for thy life?
6048Barren fig- tree, dost thou hear?
6048Barren fig- tree, dost thou hear?
6048Barren fig- tree, dost thou hear?
6048Barren fig- tree, dost thou hear?
6048Barren fig- tree, dost thou hear?
6048Barren fig- tree, dost thou hear?
6048Barren fig- tree, fruitless Christian, do not thine ears tingle?
6048Barren fig- tree, fruitless professor, hast thou heard all these things?
6048Barren fig- tree, hast thou heard all these things?
6048Barren fig- tree, hast thou subscribed, hast thou called thyself by the name of Jacob, and surnamed thyself by the name of Israel?
6048Barren fig- tree, what fruit hast thou?
6048Barren fig- tree, what sayest thou?
6048Barren professor, dost thou hear?
6048Be patient then, my brethren; but how long?
6048Be ruled by me, and go back; who knows whither such a brain- sick fellow will lead you?
6048Behold, I was left alone, these, where had they been?''
6048Besides, the great things that he desired, were to be delivered from going to hell, and who would, willingly?
6048Besides, was the gospel so freely, so frequently, so fully tendered to thee, and yet hast thou rejected all these things?
6048Brother, said Christian, what shall we do?
6048But I have let myself to another, even to the King of princes; and how can I, with fairness, go back with thee?
6048But I know you have made strong objections against him; prithee, what can he say for himself?
6048But I, poor I, how shall I get thither?
6048But Mr. Bunyan replied: Sin doth distinguish a man from a beast; is sin therefore the gift of God?
6048But alas, what thief, what tyrant, what devil is there that may not conquer after this sort?
6048But all these will fail you; for what think you?
6048But all this while, where''s he whose golden rays Drives night away and beautifies our days?
6048But am I daunted?
6048But are the other righteousnesses of no use to us?
6048But are there no dissuasive arguments to lay before such, to prevent their future misery?
6048But art thou blind?
6048But as to the intercession of Christ, who can come in to help upon the account of such innocency or worth?
6048But at the end of all this promised pardon for a million of years-- what then?
6048But be the candles down, and scattered too, Some lying here, some there?
6048But can you imagine how the people of the corporation were taken with this entertainment?
6048But canst thou not now repent and turn?
6048But could the house of Lebanon, though a fortified place, assault Damascus?
6048But could they persuade any to be of their opinion?
6048But did none of them follow you, to persuade you to go back?
6048But did not Mr. Badman marry again quickly?
6048But did not the neighbours take notice of this alteration that Mr. Badman had made?
6048But did they take from him all that ever he had?
6048But did this young Badman accustom himself to such filthy kind of language?
6048But did you never give an occasion to men to call you by this name?
6048But did you not come by the house of the Interpreter?
6048But did you not see the house that stood there on the top of the hill, on the side of which Moses met you?
6048But did you not, with your vain life, damp all that you by words used by way of persuasion to bring them away with you?
6048But did you take his counsel?
6048But did you tell them of your own sorrow, and fear of destruction?
6048But did you, said he, when you were at a stand, pluck out and read your note?
6048But do kings use to die for captive slaves?
6048But do not bad masters condemn themselves in condemning the badness of their servants?
6048But do you think Mr. Badman would have been so base?
6048But do you think that the men that do thus, do think that they do so vilely, so abominably?
6048But do you think these men saw the strength of the Jews now?
6048But first, do you know which of the Badmans I mean?
6048But for all this, how thick, and by heaps, do these wretches walk up and down our streets?
6048But for what cause?
6048But had one not need to walk with a guard, and to have a sentinel stand at one''s door for this?
6048But had the maid no friend to look after her?
6048But his father would, as you intimate, sometimes rebuke him for his wickedness; pray how would he carry it then?
6048But how are your neighbours for quietness?
6048But how camest thou in this condition?
6048But how can a man be sorry for it, that has neither sight nor sense of it?
6048But how could he be naked, when before he had made himself an apron?
6048But how could he so quickly run out, for I perceive it was in little time, by what you say?
6048But how did it happen that you came out of your country this way?
6048But how did they make that out?
6048But how do you think to get in at the gate?
6048But how dost thou prove that?
6048But how doth God the Father save thee?
6048But how doth it happen that you come so late?
6048But how if this path should lead us out of the way?
6048But how is it that you came alone?
6048But how is this resented?
6048But how much more now?
6048But how much more then when he comes To grapple with thy heart; To bind with thread thy toes and thumbs,[4] And fetch thee in his cart?
6048But how must this be done, but as we take them off with the snuffers, and put them in these snuff- dishes?
6048But how shall I be ascertained that I also shall be entertained?
6048But how shall we do to see some of them?
6048But how should a poor soul do to run?
6048But how will this man die?
6048But how?
6048But how?
6048But if He parts with His righteousness to us, what will He have for Himself?
6048But if he had done as you have supposed, what had he done worse than what he hath done already?
6048But if they should not, ask them yet again If formerly they did not entertain One CHRISTIAN, a Pilgrim?
6048But if thy God thou wilt not hearken to, What can the swallow, ant, or spider do?
6048But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?''
6048But is it asked how are we to see that that is invisible, or to imagine bliss that is past our understanding?
6048But is it not a good heart that hath good thoughts?
6048But is it not a shame for a man to defile himself with that vice which he rebuketh in another?
6048But is it not a wonder they got not from him his certificate, by which he was to receive his admittance at the Celestial Gate?
6048But is not this a shame for them that are such?
6048But is this the common custom of princes?
6048But let us return again to Mr. Badman; had he any children by his wife?
6048But may my sin be forgiven?
6048But met you with no opposition before you set out of doors?
6048But must this wall, I say, consist chiefly in outward glory, in the glory of earthly things?
6048But now, what thing is that which is greater than his body, save the altar, his Divinity on which it was offered?
6048But now, when didst thou feel the power of this first part of the Scripture, the law, so mighty as to strike thee dead?
6048But of what?
6048But pray how can you tell that he did not care for the company of such?
6048But pray tell me, Did you meet nobody in the Valley of Humility?
6048But pray, Sir, what other sign have you by which you can prove that Mr. Badman died in his sins, and so in a state of damnation?
6048But pray, Sir, where was it that Christian and Faithful met Talkative?
6048But shall they be my God, or shall I have Of them so foul and impious a thought, To think that from the curse they can me save?
6048But show me something out of the Word against it, will you?
6048But some love not the method of your first; Romance they count it, throw''t away as dust, If I should meet with such, what should I say?
6048But still when a fresh dish was set before them, they would whisperingly say to each other, What is it?
6048But surely I may begin this time enough, a year or two hence, may I not?
6048But to accept of grace, especially when it is free grace, grace that reigns, grace from the throne, how sweet is it?
6048But to come to the second question, that is, Why these twelve angels are said to stand at the gate?
6048But to slight grace, to do despite to the Spirit of grace, to prefer our own works to the derogating from grace, what is it but to contemn God?
6048But was he not afraid of the judgments of God that did fly about at that time?
6048But was not this man, think you, a giant, a pillar in this house?
6048But were you not afraid, good Sir, when you saw him come out with his club?
6048But what an entrance into life is here?
6048But what answer hath God prepared for these objections?
6048But what are they?
6048But what are we to understand in gospel days, by going out of the house of the Lord, for or by sin?
6048But what can be the end of those that are proud in the decking of themselves after their antic manner?
6048But what could they say for themselves, why they came not?
6048But what did she do to you?
6048But what did you think when he fetched you down to the ground at the first blow?
6048But what do we talk of them?
6048But what do you mean by Mr. Badman''s breaking?
6048But what doth he get in this world, more than travail and sorrow, vexation of spirit, and disappointment?
6048But what followed?
6048But what fruit doth God expect?
6048But what ground had he for his so saying?
6048But what have they got by all they have done, either against the head or body of the same?
6048But what have you met with?
6048But what have you seen?
6048But what have you to show at that gate, that may cause that the gate should be opened to you?
6048But what is all this to the DEAD world-- to them that love to be dead?
6048But what is ankle- deep to that which followeth after?
6048But what is the meaning of this?
6048But what is the second thing whereby you would prove a discovery of a work of grace in the heart?
6048But what judgments do you mean?
6048But what more false than such a conclusion?
6048But what needs that?
6048But what of that?
6048But what saith the Word of God?
6048But what saith the scripture?
6048But what shall I now do, saith the sinner?
6048But what should be the reason that such a good man should be all his days so much in the dark?
6048But what should he mean by that?
6048But what then?
6048But what then?
6048But what was it that made you so afraid of this sight?
6048But what was the cause of your carrying of it thus to the first workings of God''s blessed Spirit upon you?
6048But what was this curse?
6048But what were the chargers a type of?
6048But what were the tongs a type of?
6048But what were these chains a type of?
6048But what were these golden spoons a type of?
6048But what were they used about the candlestick to do?
6048But what were those instruments a type of?
6048But what will not love do?
6048But what will they do when the axe is fetched out?
6048But what will they do with her?
6048But what''s the bush, whose pricks, like tenter- hooks, Do scratch and claw the finest lady''s hands, Or rend her clothes, if she too near it stands?
6048But what, then, must we understand by these lavers, and by this sacrifice being washed in them, in order to its being burned upon the altar?
6048But when did you give him such a rebuke?
6048But when shall this be?
6048But when will that be?
6048But whence must this come?
6048But where is she?
6048But where is the fruit of this repentance?
6048But who are they that must thus be feared?
6048But who is it that can live by grace?
6048But who understands this, who believes it?
6048But who, quoth he, do you think this is?
6048But why are the ungodly held forth under the notion of a rich man?
6048But why did he not come through?
6048But why did not you look for the steps?
6048But why did not young Badman run away from this master, as he ran away from the other?
6048But why do you put in these cautionary words, They must not sell always as dear, nor buy always as cheap as they can?
6048But why is it said, Let him''dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue?''
6048But why must the instruments be laid upon the tables?
6048But why should they be so set against him, since they also despise the way that he forsook?
6048But why stand off?
6048But why standest thou thus at the door?
6048But why wilt thou seek for ease this way, seeing so many dangers attend it?
6048But why, good Sir, do you sigh so deeply; is it for ought else than that for the which, as you have perceived, I myself am concerned?
6048But why, may some say, do you make so homely a comparison?
6048But why, or by what, art thou persuaded that thou hast left all for God and Heaven?
6048But why?
6048But will it not be counted a trespass against the Lord of the city whither we are bound, thus to violate His revealed will?
6048But will you promise me to mend?
6048But ye ungodly fathers, how are your ungodly children roaring now in hell?
6048But you saw more than this, did you not?
6048But you will say, How doth the law kill and strike dead the poor creatures?
6048But, I pray, what, and how many, were the things wherein you differed?
6048But, I pray, will you tell me why you ask me such questions?
6048But, I say, why is it repeated?
6048But, Sir, said she, what is this pill good for else?
6048But, Sir, said the old gentleman, how could you guess that I am such a man, since I came from such a place?
6048But, Sir, was not this it that made my good Christian''s burden fall from off his shoulder, and that made him give three leaps for joy?
6048But, good neighbour Wiseman, be pleased to tell me who this man was, and why you conclude him so miserable in his death?
6048But, mother, what is it like?
6048But, my good companion, do you know the way to this desired place?
6048But, pray Sir, while it is fresh in my mind, do you hear anything of his wife and children?
6048But, pray, what said my Lord to my rudeness?
6048But, pray, why do you ask me this question?
6048But, said Christian, are there no turnings nor windings, by which a stranger may lose his way?
6048But, said Christian, will your practice stand a trial at law?
6048But, sluggard, is it not a shame for thee To be outdone by pismires?
6048But, you will say, What needs all this ado, and why is all this time and pains spent in speaking to this that is surely believed already?
6048Can a loving husband abide to be always from a beloved spouse?
6048Can a man believe in Christ and not be hated by the devil?
6048Can any think that God should take That pains, to form a man So like himself, only to make Him here a moment stand?
6048Can any think that trees are the things taken care of here?
6048Can darkness agree with light?
6048Can he make a profession of this Christ, and that sweetly and convincingly, and the children of Satan hold their tongue?
6048Can his heart now endure, or can his hands be strong?
6048Can it be imagined that those''that paint themselves did ever repent of their pride?''
6048Can there now be any thing more plain?
6048Can these teach him to manage his knowledge well?
6048Can you behold every one that he is proud, and abase him, and bind their faces in secret?
6048Can you call for the waters of the sea, and cause them to cover the face of the ground?
6048Can you cast all, and rest all, upon the love of Christ?
6048Can you count the number of the stars, or stay the bottles of heaven?

6048Can you not stay and take these along with you?
6048Can you not tell how you knocked?
6048Can you remember by what means you find your annoyances, at times, as if they were vanquished?
6048Can you stop the sun from running his course, and hinder the moon from giving her light?
6048Canst thou commend thyself''to every man''s conscience in the sight of God?''
6048Canst thou live in the water; canst thou live always, and nowhere else, but in the water?
6048Canst thou read this, O thou wicked sinner, and yet go on in sin?
6048Canst thou say, from blessed experience,''His flesh is meat indeed, and His blood is drink indeed?''
6048Canst thou think of this, and defer repentance one hour longer?
6048Christiana and her sons?
6048Come, Samuel, are you willing that I should catechise you also?
6048Come, neighbour Pliable, how do you do?
6048Come, pr''ythee bird, I pr''ythee come away, Why should this net thee take, when''scape thou may?
6048Come, said Christiana, will you eat a bit, a little to sweeten your mouths, while you sit here to rest your legs?
6048Come, tell me, do you keep it from the dust, Yea, wind it also duly up you must?
6048Consider thus with thyself, Would I be glad to have all, every one of my sins to come in against me, to inflame the justice of God against me?
6048Consider thus, Would I be glad to have all, and every one of the ten commandments, to discharge themselves against my soul?
6048Could it remove from the place on which God had set it?
6048Cry, why so?
6048Cumber- ground, how many hopeful, inclinable, forward people, hast thou by thy fruitless and unprofitable life, kept out of the vineyard of God?
6048Cut him down, why cumbereth he the ground?
6048Dark- land, said the guide; doth not that lie up on the same coast with the City of Destruction?

6048Did I ever see my danger as a sinner?
6048Did I say, our Lord had here in former days his country- house, and that He loved here to walk?
6048Did Ignorance, who perished from the way, say to the pilgrims,''You go so fast, I must stay awhile behind?''

6048Did ever God tell thee thou shalt live half a year, or two months longer?
6048Did ever any of your carnal acquaintance take knowledge of a difference of your language and conduct?

6048Did he break his leg then?
6048Did he intend, that after he had rifled my pockets, I should go to Gaius, mine host?
6048Did he often carry it thus to her?
6048Did not Haman lead Mordecai in his state by the hand of anger?
6048Did not I direct thee the way to the little wicket- gate?
6048Did not the Shepherds bid us beware of the flatterers?
6048Did not we tell thee of these things?
6048Did she desire thee to come with her to this place?
6048Did she talk thus openly?
6048Did they show wherein this way is so dangerous?
6048Did we not run, ride, labour, and strive abundantly, if it might have been, for the good of thy soul, though now a damned soul?

6048Did we not sound an alarm in thine ears, by the trumpet of God''s word day after day?
6048Did we not tell thee sin would damn thy soul?
6048Did we not tell thee that they who loved their sins should be damned at this dark and gloomy day, as thou art like to be?

6048Didst thou never hear of the intolerable roarings of the damned ones that are therein?
6048Didst thou never hear or read that doleful saying in Luke 16, how the sinful man cries out among the flames,''One drop of water to cool my tongue?''
6048Do I look alone to Christ for righteousness, and depend only on Him for holiness?
6048Do I renounce my own righteousness, as well as abhor my sins?
6048Do I see that all other ways, whether of sin or self- righteousness, lead to hell?
6048Do I study to please Him, as well as hope to enjoy Him?
6048Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?''
6048Do n''t you hear a noise?
6048Do n''t you remember how undaunted they were when they stood before the judge?
6048Do not most rather seek to push away our feet from taking hold of the path of life, or else lay snares for us in the way?
6048Do they drink wine in bowls?
6048Do they live in pleasures, and spend their days in wealth?
6048Do they think that God can not be even with them?

6048Do we indeed see Christ by the eye of faith?
6048Do we know the manner and temper of their King?
6048Do we think that the prophet prophesieth here against trees, against the natural cedars of Lebanon?
6048Do you count them pure with the wicked balances?
6048Do you find this?
6048Do you know him, then?
6048Do you know who they are, whence they come, and what is their purpose in setting down before the town of Mansoul?
6048Do you mean, how came I at first to look after the good of my soul?
6048Do you not find sometimes, as if those things were vanquished, which at other times are your perplexity?

6048Do you think that you are stronger than he?
6048Do you think those will ever come thither?
6048Do''st not behold the net?
6048Does Christ dwell in my heart by faith?
6048Does he take the shield of faith, and helmet of salvation?
6048Does he take the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God?
6048Dost not thou see that thou art called a thief and a robber, that hast either climbed up to, or crept in at another place than the door?
6048Dost thou believe the Scriptures to be the Word of God?
6048Dost thou believe the Scriptures to be the Word of God?
6048Dost thou bring forth fruit unto God?
6048Dost thou continually neglect to come to Christ, and usest arguments in thine own heart to satisfy thy soul with so doing?
6048Dost thou count all things but poor, lifeless, empty, vain things, without communion with him?
6048Dost thou count his company more precious than the whole world?
6048Dost thou delight to sin against plain commands?
6048Dost thou examine thyself whether thou be in the faith or no, having a command in Scripture so to do?
6048Dost thou give diligence to make thy calling and election sure, because God commanded it in Scripture?
6048Dost thou hear, barren fig- tree?
6048Dost thou hear, barren professor?
6048Dost thou in deed and in truth believe the Scriptures to be the Word of God?
6048Dost thou know whether the day of grace will last a week longer or no?
6048Dost thou love to be talking of him-- and also to be walking with him?
6048Dost thou slight and scorn the counsels contained in the Scriptures, and continue in so doing?
6048Dost thou think that Christ will foul His fingers with thee?
6048Dost thou walk like one that is bought with a price, even with the price of precious blood?
6048Dost thou''bear about in thy body the dying of the Lord Jesus?''
6048Doth he entreat you, for fear of you?
6048Doth his company sweeten all things-- and his absence embitter all things?
6048Doth it not suit many a feeble mind?
6048Doth she not speak very smoothly, and give you a smile at the end of a sentence?
6048Doth she not wear a great purse by her side; and is not her hand often in it, fingering her money, as if that was her heart''s delight?
6048Even Judas could as boldly ask,''Master, is it I''who shall betray Thee?
6048Everybody will cry up the goodness of men; but who is there that is, as he should, affected with the goodness of God?
6048Examine again, Dost thou labour after those qualifications that the Scriptures do describe a child of God by?
6048Examine, Dost thou stand in awe of sinning against God, because he hath in the Scriptures commanded thee to abstain from it?
6048Farther, if all be true that this man hath said, how comes it to pass that the subjects of Shaddai are so enslaved in all places where they come?
6048Fearing, that came on pilgrimage out of his parts?
6048For how can a man repent of that of which he hath neither sight nor sense?
6048For if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and sinners appear?
6048For my part, I am out of charity with myself; who then should be in love with me?
6048For of what should a man repent?
6048For should the saints enjoy all this But for a certain time, O, how would they their mark then miss, And at this thing repine?
6048For what am I thus tormented?
6048For what bondage greater than to be kept in blindness?
6048For what did you bring yourself into this condition?
6048For what journey, I pray you?
6048For what portion of God is there,''for that sin,''from above, and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?''
6048For when, thinks the enemy, will these fools be so desirous to sit down, as when they are weary?
6048For wherein can grace or love more appear than in his laying down his life for us?
6048For who can endure a boar in a vineyard; a man of sin in a holy temple; or a dragon in heaven?
6048For who doth not perceive, but when those that sit aloft are vile, and corrupt themselves, they corrupt the whole region and country where they are?
6048For who is prouder than you professors?
6048For''what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?''
6048Friend, whither away?
6048Friends, Solomon saith, that''The desire of the slothful killeth him''; and if so, what will slothfulness itself do to those that entertain it?
6048From what?
6048GREAT- HEART, What could they say against it?
6048Gentlemen, whence came you, and whither go you?
6048God''s people wish well to the souls of others, and wilt not thou wish well to thy own?
6048Good morrow, my good neighbour, Mr. Attentive; whither are you walking so early this morning?
6048Had he not also now hold of the shield of faith?
6048Had he then such a good trade, for all he was such a bad man?
6048Had you ever any talk with him about it?
6048Had you no talk with him before you came out?
6048Had you not thoughts of leaving off praying?
6048Has He given it to thee, my reader?
6048Has he on the breastplate of righteousness?
6048Has he that need of you, that we are sure you have of him?
6048Has the enmity of the human heart by nature changed?
6048Hast been among the thieves?
6048Hast thou a wife and children?
6048Hast thou an heart to be sorry for this wickedness?
6048Hast thou any lease of thy life?
6048Hast thou any lease of thy life?
6048Hast thou been digg''d about and dunged too, Will neither patience nor yet dressing do?
6048Hast thou fruit becoming the care of God, the protection of God, the wisdom of God, the patience and husbandry of God?
6048Hast thou given thyself to the Lord?
6048Hast thou that''godly sorrow''that''worketh repentance to salvation, not to be repented of?''
6048Hast thou valued sin at a higher rate than thy soul, than God, Christ, angels, saints, and communion with them in eternal blessedness and glory?
6048Hast thou''renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness?''
6048Hath He overcome the law, the devil, and hell?
6048Hath Jesus performed righteousness to cover us, and spilled blood to wash us?
6048Hath he been digging about thee?
6048Hath he been dunging of thee?
6048Hath it not hindered many in their pilgrimage?
6048Hath not Moses told them the danger of living in sin?
6048Have they at no time, think you, convictions of sin, and so consequently fears that their state is dangerous?
6048Have they not Moses and the prophets?
6048Have they not Moses and the prophets?
6048Have they not had my ministers and servants sent unto them and coming as from me?
6048Have we the faith of this?
6048Have you any more things to ask me about my beginning to come on pilgrimage?
6048Have you felt the alarm in your soul under a sense of sin and judgment?
6048Have you lost any of your cattle, or what is the matter?
6048Have you these?
6048Having so often sold thyself to me to work wickedness, wilt thou forsake me now?
6048Having these to look to, what should stagger our faith, or deject our hope?
6048He asked again if they had aught to say for themselves, why the sentence that they confessed that they had deserved should not be passed upon them?
6048He asked me if I had a family?
6048He asked them, Why?
6048He knocked, therefore, more than once or twice, saying--"May I now enter here?
6048He loved to live high, but his hands refused to labour; and what else can the end of such an one be but that which the wise man saith?
6048He ran away, you say, but whither did he run?
6048He that feareth not to be burned in the fire, how will he fear the heat of weather?
6048He that hath his word shall then speak it faithfully, for''what is the chaff to the wheat?
6048He that opened stepped out after him, and said, Thou trembling one, what wantest thou?
6048He that was in darkness, or he that was in light?
6048He that was in everlasting joy, or he that was in everlasting torments?
6048He that was in hell, or he that was in heaven?
6048Hence David said again,''Whom have I in heaven but thee?''
6048Hence see what it is to grieve the Spirit of God: for He only is the Comforter: and if He withdraws His influences, who or what can comfort us?
6048His song was this: The Lord is only my support, And he that doth me feed; How can I then want anything Whereof I stand in need?
6048Honest asked his landlord, if there were any store of good people in the town?
6048Honest asked, why it was said that the Saviour is said to come''out of a dry ground''; and also, that''He had no form or comeliness in him?''
6048Honest( when they were all sat down) asked Mr. Contrite, and the rest, in what posture their town was at present?
6048Honest, interrupting of him, said, Did you see the two men asleep in the arbour?
6048How are all things out of order?
6048How believe you, as touching the resurrection of the dead?
6048How came that about, since you were now reformed?
6048How came that about?
6048How came you to think at first of so doing as you do now?
6048How camest thou by the burden at first?
6048How can such poor women as we hold out in a way so full of troubles as this way is, without a friend and defender?
6048How did he break it?
6048How do they seek to stifle them?
6048How do you know that these sayings are true?
6048How do you know that?
6048How do you mean?
6048How dost thou believe?
6048How dost thou show before men the truth of thy turning to God?
6048How doth God the Son save thee?
6048How far do you think he may be before?
6048How far is it thither?
6048How far may such an one go?
6048How far might they go on in pilgrimage in their day, since they notwithstanding were thus miserably cast away?
6048How hard are these things?
6048How he carried it?
6048How is it now?
6048How is it, then, that thou art so quickly turned aside?
6048How is it, then, that thou hast run away from thy king?
6048How long must this be my state?
6048How long?
6048How many Mahomet?
6048How many poor souls hath Bonner to answer for, think you, and several filthy blind priests?
6048How many seasons have you spent in vain?
6048How many sermons and other mercies did I, of my patience, afford you?
6048How many souls do you think Balaam, with his deceit, will have to answer for?
6048How many souls have they been the means of destroying by their ignorance and corrupt doctrine?
6048How many the Pharisees, that hired the soldiers to say the disciples stole away Jesus?
6048How many times have you disappointed me?
6048How much more then when light shall be against light in three ranks?
6048How much more will it perplex thee to think, that thou hadst not a care of thy own?
6048How now, good fellow, whither away after this burdened manner?
6048How often didst thou hear us tell thee of these things?
6048How sayest thou, young comer, is not this the case with thy soul?
6048How shall we escape,''if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven?''
6048How shall we get to be sharers thereof?
6048How should I escape being by them torn in pieces?
6048How so?
6048How stands it between God and your soul now?
6048How stands the country affected towards you?
6048How then can any good be done to those whose conscience is worse than that?
6048How then can good fruit grow from such a root, the root of all evil?
6048How then can it be but that light should be against light in this house, and that in a military posture?
6048How then can the world judge of the condition of the saints?
6048How then shall I look Him in the face at His coming?
6048How then should his brethren that survive him, and that tread in his very steps, approve of the sentence that by this book is pronounced against him?
6048How then will it be with thee?
6048How was Esau served for staying too long before he came for the blessing?
6048How was Lot''s wife served for running lazily, and for giving but one look behind her, after the things she left in Sodom?
6048How will they shine?
6048How will you describe right fear?
6048How?
6048I also ask, in what charger our gospel passover is now dressed up and set before the people?
6048I am sorry that I was so foolish, and am made to wonder that I am not now as Lot''s wife; for wherein was the difference betwixt her sin and mine?
6048I ask, Why has the world such hold of thee?
6048I ask, then, if there were ever anything that had a being antecedent to, or before God?
6048I asked him further, how that man''s righteousness could be of that efficacy to justify another before God?
6048I believe so; but pray tell me, did any of her other children hearken to her words, so as to be bettered in their souls thereby?
6048I deem I have half a guess of you; your name is Old Honesty, is it not?
6048I have given Him my faith, and sworn my allegiance to Him; how, then, can I go back from this, and not be hanged as a traitor?
6048I pray let me hear your judgment of extortion, what it is, and when committed?
6048I promise you this was enough to discourage; but did they make an end here?
6048I remember he alleged many a Scripture, but those I valued not; the Scriptures, thought I, what are they?
6048I say again, tell me before the first blow is given, wilt thou turn?
6048I say, dost thou see thyself in him?
6048I say, he puts great difference between these, and that other sort that say, When will the Sabbath be gone, that we may be at our worldly business?
6048I say, if Mr. Badman was here to object thus unto you, what would be your reply?
6048I say, what less than a river could do it?
6048I tell you this is no easy matter; if it were, what need all those prayers, sighs, watchings?
6048I think it a high favour that they were hanged before we came hither; who knows else what they might have done to such poor women as we are?
6048If Christ be the way, verity, and life, how can there be any life then without Christ?
6048If God would blow upon a man, who can help it?
6048If Jesus be so sweet to faith below, who can tell what He is in full fruition above?
6048If all that build do build to suit The glory of their state, What orator, though most acute, Can fully heaven relate?
6048If any say, Who''s there?
6048If nothing should by us be had When we are gone from hence, But vanities, while here?
6048If palaces that princes build, Which yet are made of clay, Do so amaze when much beheld, Of heaven what shall we say?
6048If so, then what is that worth, or value, that is in the grace itself?
6048If so, then, in the next place, what will become of them that are grown weary before they are got half way thither?
6048If so, what had she to say?
6048If the Father, or the Son, or the Holy Ghost, are gracious, if they were not all gracious, what would it profit?
6048If the life that is attended with so many troubles, is so loath to be let go by us, what is the life above?
6048If the world, which God sets light by, is counted a thing of that worth with men; what is Heaven, which God commendeth?
6048If thou wouldst know whether man be still in that state by nature that God did place him in?
6048If thou wouldst know whether the man were first beguiled, or the woman that God made an help- mate for him?
6048If we have such ill speed at our first setting out, what may we expect betwixt this and our journey''s end?
6048If you say no, what means your sour carriage to the people of God?
6048If young Badman feared not the damnation of his soul, do you think that the consideration of impairing of his body would have deterred him therefrom?
6048If''the wrath of a king is as messengers of death''( Prov 16:14), if the wrath of the king''is as the roaring of a lion,''what is the wrath of God?
6048In his Jerusalem Sinner Saved he thus argues''Why despair?
6048In what glory will they appear?
6048Indeed the Word saith,"He hath blinded their eyes, lest they should see,"& c. But now we are by ourselves, what do you think of such men?
6048Indeed who can bear up, and who Can from these shakings run?
6048Instructions did I say?
6048Is He the one, the chief object of our soul?
6048Is He the only hope of my soul, and the only confidence of my heart?
6048Is fellowship with God the Father, and His Son, Jesus Christ, so prized by me, as to seek it, and to esteem it above all things?
6048Is godly fear delightful unto thee, That fear that God himself delights to see Bear sway in them that love him?
6048Is grace thy proper element?
6048Is he not slothful, is not he careless, is he not without discretion?
6048Is it I?''
6048Is it a way that my parents brought me up in, put me apprentice to, or that by providence I was first thrust into?
6048Is it because they would honour God?
6048Is it intended to represent that prayerful, watchful, personal investigation into Divine truth, which ought to precede church- fellowship?
6048Is it meet to think that a little child should handle Goliath as David did?
6048Is it not in the four evangelists, the prophets, and epistles of the apostles?
6048Is it not the same by the which I have called thee?
6048Is it so much to be a fiddle?
6048Is it thy delight to think of Him, hear of Him, speak of Him, abide in Him, and live upon Him?
6048Is not Christ the head, and we the members?
6048Is not he also the price, the ground, and bottom of our happiness, both in this world and that which is to come?
6048Is not here the house of the forest of Lebanon mentioned as another besides the temple?
6048Is not this enough to make any poor soul begin his race?
6048Is not this strange?
6048Is nothing so secret but it will be revealed?
6048Is the Lamb the nourishment of thy soul, and the portion of thy heart?
6048Is the doctrine offered to thee so?
6048Is the doctrine offered unto thee so?
6048Is the way safe or dangerous?
6048Is there a Slough of Despond to be passed, and a hill Difficulty to be overcome?
6048Is there any good that lives there?
6048Is there hope?
6048Is there hope?
6048Is there no better merchandise to trade in than what comes from hell, or out of the bowels of the earth?
6048Is there nothing written therein but what you understand?
6048Is there, in this place, any relief for pilgrims that are weary and faint in the way?
6048Is this the love and care Of Jesus for the men that pilgrims are?
6048Is this the way to the Celestial City?
6048Is thy mind always musing on him?
6048Is your heart full of mammon, or pride, or debauchery?
6048It is enough to make angels blush, saith Satan, to see so vile a one knock at Heaven''s gates for mercy, and wilt thou be so abominably bold to do it?
6048It is this: Do you experience this first part of this description of it?
6048It is true that you have said; but pray how many sorts of pride are there?
6048It makes one tremble to hear those who profess to follow Christ in the regeneration, crying, What harm is there in this game and the other diversion?
6048It mattereth not who brought thee in hither, whether God or the devil, or thine own vain- glorious heart; but hast thou fruit?
6048It may be thou hast a father, mother, brother,& c., going post- haste to heaven, wouldst thou be willing to be left behind them?
6048It will not be said then, Did you believe?
6048Job, in order to his repentance, cries unto God,''Show me wherefore thou contendest with me?''
6048John, what have you done?
6048Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?
6048Know you not that it is written, that he that cometh not in by the door,"but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber?"
6048Know''st not thy Lord by fruit is glorified?
6048Lazarus, who was he?
6048Let me alone, let me fetch my blow, or''Cut it down, why cumbereth it the ground?''
6048Let thy conscience speak, I say, is it not prepared for thee, thou being an ungodly man?
6048Look before thee; dost thou see this narrow way?
6048Look to the heavens, and behold, and consider the stars, how high are they?
6048Look, doth it not go along by the way- side?
6048Mark, and when they were ALONE; according to that of the prophet,''Whom shall he teach knowledge, and whom shall he make to understand doctrine?
6048May I now go back, and go up to the wicket- gate?
6048May I speak a few words in my own defence?
6048May we have entertainment here, or must We further go?
6048Meaning, who would be at the charge to have a wife that can have a whore when he listeth?
6048Met you with nothing else in that valley?
6048Mother, can not you do me some good?
6048Much of your lives are past; and will you be slothful?
6048Must I slight them as they slight me, or nay?
6048Must a little of the glory of the butterfly make thee not honour thy father and mother?
6048Must here be the beginning of my bliss?
6048Must here the burden fall from off my back Must here the strings that bound it to me crack?
6048Must they not perish rather?
6048My brother, said he, rememberest thou not how valiant thou hast been heretofore?
6048My little bird, how canst thou sit And sing amidst so many thorns?
6048My senses, how were you beguil''d When you said sin was good?
6048My soul is also sore vexed, but thou, O Lord, how long?
6048Nay, but, said Mr. Bunyan, have you the very self- same original copies that were written by the penmen of the scriptures, prophets and apostles?
6048Nay, do not they rather owe him something for his labour he bestowed on them, as Philemon did to Paul?
6048Nay, do they not rather declare to the world that they have repented of their profession?
6048Nay, do you not see with your eyes daily, that perseverance is a very great part of the cross?
6048Nay, hast thou not learned the wicked ones thy ways?
6048Nay, have not all the prophets from Samuel, with all those that follow after, prophesied, and foretold these things?
6048Nay, say they, why may not we as well as he?
6048No; if Isaiah, with his mighty eloquence, again appeared among mortals, again would his cry be heard,''Who hath believed our report?''
6048Nor are we now, as at the peep of light, To question, is it day, or is it night?
6048Nor was this but the least of what he did, But the outside of what he suffered?
6048Nor yet of thy poor soul some pity take?
6048Now I have conquered your Diabolus, you come to me for favour, but why did you not help me against the mighty?
6048Now here some may object, and say, Since the way to God by these door were so wide, why doth Christ say the way and gate is narrow?
6048Now here''s the holiness that should them save, Or, as a preparation, go before, To move God to do for them less or more?
6048Now if God noble angels did not spare Because they did transgress, will he forbear Poor dust and ashes?
6048Now men can let their tongues run at random, as we used to say; now they will be apt to say, Our tongues are our own, who shall control them?
6048Now that the lions are removed, may we not fear that hypocrites will thrust themselves into our churches?
6048Now, as they came up to these places, behold, the gardener stood in the way, to whom the Pilgrims said, Whose goodly vineyards and gardens are these?
6048Now, if a child has such tenderness for a useless member, how much more tender is the Son of God to his afflicted members?
6048Now, if she, with her children, are in bondage, how canst thou expect by them to be made free?
6048Now, it may be asked what is the throne of grace?
6048Now, madam, what sayest thou?
6048Now, since I show thee all these mysteries, How canst thou hate me, or me scandalize?
6048Now, since this is thus, quoth he, can you be kept by any prince in more slavery, and in greater bondage, than you are under this day?
6048Now, thought Christian, what shall I do?
6048Now, who will meet me in this dark entry?
6048O blessed face and holy grace, When shall we see this day?
6048O my brethren,''what manner of persons ought we to be,''who have subscribed to the Lord, and have called ourselves by the name of Israel?
6048O my brother, if He will but go along with us, what need we be afraid of ten thousands that shall set themselves against us?
6048O my reader, would you be one of the glorified inhabitants of that city whose builder and maker is God?
6048O that godly plea of Samuel:''Behold here I am,''says he,''witness against me, before the Lord, and before his anointed, whose ox have I taken?
6048O what an alteration will there be among the ungodly when they go out of this world?
6048O what will it profit thy soul to have pleasure in this life, and torments in hell?
6048O''what shall be given unto thee,''thou''deceitful tongue?''
6048O, if he were here one quarter of an hour, to behold, to see, to feel, to taste and enjoy but the thousandth part of what we enjoy, what would he do?
6048O, therefore, will not this aggravate thy torment?
6048One chanced mockingly, beholding the carriage of the men, to say unto them, What will ye buy?
6048One would have thought that this had been a small request, a small courtesy-- ONE DROP OF WATER-- what is that?
6048Or art thou not?
6048Or art thou one agoing backward thither?
6048Or do they still like and approve of you as well as ever?
6048Or dost thou wink, because thou would''st not see?
6048Or how is it with thy soul?
6048Or if it should, would it be a suitable medicine in the least to present to the eyes of a broken and wounded people, as the Jews will be at that day?
6048Or if they were, would they be afraid that God would not make them welcome?
6048Or is it a way into which I have twisted myself, as not being contented with my first lot, that by God and my parents I was cast into?
6048Or is it muddy, and mixed with the doctrines of men?
6048Or that he should make such ado, By justice, and by grace; By prophets and apostles too, That men might see his face?
6048Or that the promise he hath made, Also the threatenings great, Should in a moment end and fade?
6048Or that there should be the strength of an ox in a wren?
6048Or theirs that hear the beating of a drum, But not made fly for fear from house and home?
6048Or was his calling so gainful to him as always to keep his purse''s belly full, though he was himself a great spender?
6048Or what careth he for the pinching frost, which burneth with the love of the Lord?
6048Or what will they give in exchange for their souls?
6048Or who shall condemn me-- just judges?
6048Otherwise,''Being planted, shall it prosper?
6048Pray how did he break it?
6048Pray how did she die?
6048Pray in the custody of Giant Despair, in the midst of Doubting Castle, and when their own folly brought them there too?
6048Pray of what disease did Mr. Badman die, for now I perceive we are come up to his death?
6048Pray tell me concerning the first, how he made away with himself?
6048Pray what were they?
6048Pray, Sir, What may I call you?
6048Pray, did you know him?
6048Pray, how was he in his death?
6048Pray, what count you good thoughts, and a life according to God''s commandments?
6048Pray, what is he?
6048Pray, what may I call your name, that I may tell it to my Lord within?
6048Pray, what principles did he hold?
6048Pray, what was it more that he said unto you?
6048Pray, where did you find all these?
6048Pray, who are your kindred there?
6048Prithee, what new knowledge hast thou got, that so worketh off thy mind from thy friends, and that tempteth thee to go, nobody knows where?
6048Professors such, perhaps, there may be, and who upon earth can help it?
6048Reader, can you be content with this?
6048Reader, have you ever spoken harshly to, or persecuted, a child of God-- a poor penitent sinner?
6048Reader, have you fled for refuge to the hope set before you in the gospel?
6048Reader, how is your inclination?
6048Reader, is this your lot also?
6048Reader, what sayest thou to this?
6048Reader, what sayst thou to this?
6048Reader, wouldst see what you may never feel, Despair, racks, torments, whips of burning steel?
6048Received you the Spirit, saith St. Paul, By hearing, faith, or works?
6048Recorder was mad, and so not to be regarded: and for this he urged his fits, and said, If he be himself, why doth he not do thus always?
6048Said they anything more to discourage you?
6048Say you so?
6048Says Paul,''They did not like to retain God in their knowledge''; and what follows?
6048Says Satan, Dost thou not know that thou hast horribly sinned?
6048Scenes of accomplished bliss, which who can see, Though but in distant prospect, and not feel His soul refresh''d with foretaste of the joy?
6048Second, Because you know that though a man do run, yet if he do not overcome, or win, as well as run, what will he be the better for his running?
6048Secondly, For that he perceived God was with them, though in that dark and dismal state; and why not, thought he, with me?
6048Secondly, How safe they are in the arms of Jesus; would they be here again for a thousand worlds?
6048Seest thou not that many of late have been snatched away, on each side of thee( by that hand that hath been stretched out and is so still)?
6048Shall I be a citizen of that city?
6048Shall I be proud, because I am sounding brass?
6048Shall I buy the pleasures of this world at so dear a rate as to lose my soul for the obtaining of that?
6048Shall I content myself with a heaven that will last no longer than my lifetime?
6048Shall I entertain thee against my sovereign Lord?
6048Shall I have my sins and lose my soul?
6048Shall I need to mention particularly contests many years past, and presented to us in print?
6048Shall I not be abandoned for this, and sent back from thence ashamed?
6048Shall I save thee?
6048Shall I speak of the satiety and of the duration of all these?
6048Shall he not therefore seek for fruit, for fruit answerable to the means?
6048Shall he that keeps his promise sure In things both low and small, Yet break it like a man impure, In matters great''st of all?
6048Shall it be said at the last day, that the wicked made more haste to hell than you to Heaven?
6048Shall it be said at the last day, that wicked men made more haste to hell than you did make to heaven?
6048Shall not then these mournful groans pierce thy flinty heart?
6048Shall we be ruled by the Giant?
6048Shall we forget them?
6048Shall we go back again to my Lord, and confess our folly, and ask one?
6048Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work?
6048Shall you with him live in pleasure as you do now?
6048She said she was afraid; I asked her, why?
6048Should I now be ashamed of His ways and servants, how can I expect the blessing?
6048Should one say to some-- Art not thou that man I saw crying out under a sermon,''What shall I do to be saved?''
6048Should she stay where she dwells, and retain this her mind, who could live quietly by her?
6048Should we make Mr. Good- deed our messenger when our petition cries for mercy?
6048Sinner, sick sinner, what sayest thou to this?
6048Sir, said the least, I was almost beat out of heart?
6048Sir, what is the cause of this?
6048Sir, what think you?
6048Sir, which is my way to this honest man''s house?
6048Sir, you seem greatly concerned at this, but what if I shall say more?
6048Skill, how does it taste?
6048Skill, saying, Sir, what will content you for your pains and care to, and of my child?
6048Sluggard, art thou asleep still?
6048Snuff- dishes, you may say, what are they?
6048Snuffers, you may say, of what were they a type?
6048So Christ:''Which of you convinceth me of sin?''
6048So Christiana asked Prudence what it was that made those curious notes?
6048So He addressed Himself to Mercy, and said unto her, And what moved thee to come hither, sweet heart?
6048So I was, and a sweet dream it was; but are you sure I laughed?
6048So again:''What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?''
6048So also Bunyan-"Every height is a difficulty to him that is loaden; with a burden, how shall we attain the Heaven of heavens?
6048So he came directly to me, and said, Mercy, what aileth thee?
6048So he further asked, if all the men in the town of Mansoul were in this confession as they?
6048So the guide, Mr. Great- heart, awaked him, and the old gentleman, as he lift up his eyes, cried out, What''s the matter?
6048So then, when the body of Christ is in every sense completed in this life by the light of the sunshine of his holy gospel, what need of this sun?
6048So they began and said, Neighbour, pray what is your meaning by this?
6048So they called her, and said to her, Mercy, what is that thing thou wouldst have?
6048So they came up one to another; and presently Stand- fast said to old Honest, Ho, father Honest, are you there?
6048So when he was come into the chamber of state, Diabolus saluted him with''Welcome, my Lord, how went matters betwixt you to- day?''
6048So when he was got in, the man of the gate asked him who directed him thither?
6048So when they were come to the gate, the guide knocked, and the Porter cried, Who is there?
6048So, did I say?
6048Soul, consider, is it not miserable to lose heaven for twenty, thirty, or forty years''sinning against God?
6048Specially that bitter outcry of his,''What shall I do to be saved?''
6048Stop, my dear reader, have you cast away all useless encumbrances, and all easily besetting sins?
6048Suppose such a slip as I told you of before should be in your garden, and there die, would you let it abide in your garden?
6048Suppose that I be cheated myself with a brass half- crown, must I therefore cheat another therewith?
6048Take the THREATENINGS laid down in holy writ, and how are they disregarded?
6048Take the tables for the hearts of the murderers, and the instruments for their sins, and what place more fit for such instruments to be laid upon?
6048Tell me, when did you see an old drunkard converted?
6048Than thought?
6048Than wind?
6048That is comparable to the pleasures, profits, and glory of this world?
6048That is true, but what evil is that that he will not do, that is left of God, as I believe Mr. Badman was?
6048That was extortion, was it not?
6048The Prince asked further, saying, Could you have been content that your slavery should have continued under his tyranny as long as you had lived?
6048The Shepherds then answered, Did you not see a little below these mountains a stile that led into a meadow, on the left hand of this way?
6048The cost of the enterprise is vast indeed; the army is numerous as our thoughts, and who can number''the multitude of his thoughts?''
6048The creditors asked what he would give?
6048The curse of God hangs over your heads; and will you be slothful?
6048The day of death and judgment is at the door; and will you be slothful?
6048The dragon her assaults, fills her with jars, Yet rests she under her Beloved''s shade, But whence was she?
6048The hearing of this is enough to ravish one''s heart; but are these things to be enjoyed?
6048The instruments with which they slew the sacrifices, what were they but a bloody axe, bloody knives, bloody hooks, and bloody hands?
6048The man therefore, read it, and looking upon Evangelist very carefully, said, Whither must I fly?
6048The men then asked, What must we do in the holy place?
6048The record, you will say, what is that?
6048The riches, honours, and pleasures of this world, what mortal can withstand?
6048The saints of old, they being willing and resolved for heaven, what could stop them?
6048The vital question is, Has my heart been conquered; do I love Emmanuel?
6048The way that he took, led him directly into this condition; for who can expect other things of one that follows such courses?
6048The which, when he had done, he said, Christiana, knowest thou wherefore I am come?
6048The whole of this address is descriptive of what the author saw, felt, or heard--''What shall I say?
6048Their covetousness declareth that they are weary of depending upon God; and doth not thy wanton actions declare that thou abhorrest chastity?
6048Then Christian asked, What is the reason of the discontent of Passion?
6048Then Christian called to Demas, saying, Is not the place dangerous?
6048Then Christian said to him, Come away, man, why do you stay so behind?
6048Then Demas called again, saying, But will you not come over and see?
6048Then Faithful stepped forward again, and said to Talkative, Come, what cheer?
6048Then I asked him further, how I must make my supplication to Him?
6048Then I asked how long time he would have me live with him?
6048Then I said, But how, Lord, must I consider of Thee in my coming to Thee, that my faith may be placed aright upon Thee?
6048Then I said, But, Lord, what is believing?
6048Then Mr. Stand- fast blushed, and said, But why, did you see me?
6048Then Said Christian to the man, What art thou?
6048Then did he that came in for their relief call out to the ruffians, saying, What is that thing that you do?
6048Then did the Judge say to him, Hast thou any more to say?
6048Then have I said, Shall we cut off this finger, and buy my child a better, a brave golden finger?
6048Then he asked them, saying, Where did you lie the last night?
6048Then he said to his mother, What diet has Matthew of late fed upon?
6048Then ran Innocent in( for that was her name) and said to those within, Can you think who is at the door?
6048Then said Charity to Christian, Have you a family?
6048Then said Christian to Hopeful his fellow, Is it true which this man hath said?
6048Then said Christian to his fellow, If these men can not stand before the sentence of men, what will they do with the sentence of God?
6048Then said Christian to the Interpreter, But is there no hope for such a man as this?
6048Then said Christian to the porter, Sir, what house is this?
6048Then said Christian, May we go in thither?
6048Then said Christian, What is thy name?
6048Then said Christian, What meaneth this?
6048Then said Christian, What meaneth this?
6048Then said Christian, What means that?
6048Then said Christian, What means this?
6048Then said Christian, What means this?
6048Then said Christian, What means this?
6048Then said Christian, What means this?
6048Then said Christian, Why doth this man thus tremble?
6048Then said Christian, You make me afraid, but whither shall I fly to be safe?
6048Then said Christiana, What is the meaning of this?
6048Then said Christiana, Wherefore weepeth my Sister so?
6048Then said Evangelist further, Art not thou the man that I found crying without the walls of the City of Destruction?
6048Then said Evangelist, How hath it fared with you, my friends, since the time of our last parting?
6048Then said Evangelist, If this be thy condition, why standest thou still?
6048Then said Evangelist, Why not willing to die, since this life is attended with so many evils?
6048Then said Evangelist, pointing with his finger over a very wide field, Do you see yonder wicket gate?
6048Then said Gaius, Is this Christian''s wife?
6048Then said Gaius, Whose wife is this aged matron?
6048Then said He, Is there but one spider in all this spacious room?
6048Then said Hopeful, Where are we now?
6048Then said Joseph, Mother, what is it?
6048Then said Matthew, May we eat apples, since they were such, by, and with which, the serpent beguiled our first mother?
6048Then said Mercy to him that was their guide and conductor, What are those three men?
6048Then said Mercy, How knew you this before you came from home?
6048Then said Mercy, What means this?
6048Then said Mnason their host, How far have ye come today?
6048Then said Mr. Bunyan, Have you the original?
6048Then said Mr. Desires- awake, why should not I do the best I can to save so famous a town as Mansoul from deserved destruction?
6048Then said Mr. Feeble- mind to him, Man, How camest thou hither?
6048Then said Mr. Great- heart to the little ones, Come, my pretty boys, how do you do?
6048Then said Mr. Great- heart, Good Gaius, what hast thou for supper?
6048Then said Mr. Great- heart, What art thou?
6048Then said Mr. Great- heart, What things?
6048Then said Mr. Valiant- for- truth, Prithee, who is it?
6048Then said he that attempted to back the lions, Will you slay me upon mine own ground?
6048Then said he, Who will go with me?
6048Then said he, Who, and what is he that is so hardy, as after this manner to molest the Giant Despair?
6048Then said the Interpreter, Is there no hope, but you must be kept in the iron cage of despair?
6048Then said the Keeper of the gate, Who is there?
6048Then said the Keeper of the gate, Who is there?
6048Then said the Keeper, Whence come ye, and what is that you would have?
6048Then said the Prince again, Are you the men that did suffer yourselves to be corrupted and defiled by that abominable one Diabolus?
6048Then said the Prince, And for what are those ropes on your heads?
6048Then said the Prince, And what punishment is it, think you, that you deserve at my hand for these and other your high and mighty sins?
6048Then said the Prince,''And what is he that is become thy companion in this so weighty a matter?''
6048Then said the Shepherds one to another, Shall we show these Pilgrims some wonders?
6048Then said the boys, Are we not yet at the end of this doleful place?
6048Then said the damsel to them, With whom would you speak in this place?
6048Then said the giant, Why are you here on my ground?
6048Then said the guide, Why did you not cry out, that some might have come in for your succour?
6048Then said the man to the Prince,''Oh let not my Lord be angry; and why inquirest thou after the name of such a dead dog as I am?
6048Then said the man, Neighbours, wherefore are ye come?
6048Then said the old man, Thou lookest like an honest fellow; wilt thou be content to dwell with me for the wages that I shall give thee?
6048Then said the other, Do you see yonder shining light?
6048Then said their guide, Come, what cheer, Sirs?
6048Then said they, Have you none?
6048Then said they, What should this be?
6048Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive and removing to and fro?
6048Then she addressed herself to the eldest, whose name was Matthew; and she said to him, Come, Matthew, shall I also catechise you?
6048Then she said, Come, Joseph( for his name was Joseph), will you let me catechise you?
6048Then the water stood in mine eyes, and I asked further, But, Lord, may such a great sinner as I am, be indeed accepted of Thee, and be saved by Thee?
6048Then they asked her of her welfare, and if these young men were her husband''s sons?
6048Then they asked the Shepherds what that should mean?
6048Then they cried out to those that were sent, What news from the Prince?
6048Then they stood trembling before him, and he said, Are you the men that heretofore were the servants of Shaddai?
6048Then, O that I might have a little ease for my deceitful tongue?
6048Then, as it seems, sometimes you got rid of your trouble?
6048Then, directing his speech to Ignorance, he said, Come, how do you?
6048Then, said I, a man, it seems, may report it for a truth?
6048Thereat Mercy said, And why so envious, trow?
6048Therefore let him still humble himself before his God, because his hand is upon him, and say, What sin is this, for which this hand of God is upon me?
6048Therefore what need have they that I should work such a miracle, as to send one from the dead unto them?
6048Therefore, I say, this gate was not measured; for what should a rule do here, where things are beyond all measure?
6048Therefore, wherefore?
6048These are my fears of him too; but who can hinder that which will be?
6048They added also, We see it is well with you, but how must it go with the town of Mansoul?
6048They are fallen from grace, and what can help them?
6048They gather it indeed, and think to keep it too, but what says Solomon?
6048They may, with confidence, say, Lord, Lord, have we not eaten and drank in Thy presence, and taught in Thy name, and in Thy name have cast out devils?
6048They said( it was when I was in my troubles), What shall we do with this woman?
6048Think thus with thyself, What, shall I lose a long heaven for short pleasure?
6048Think you that they upon whom the tower of Siloam fell, were sinners above others?
6048Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou didst put the lie upon my Father, and madest him, to Mansoul, the greatest deluder in the world?
6048This beginning was bad, but what shall I say?
6048This is manifest by the very name of the tree; it is called the tree of knowledge of good and evil; and have you that knowledge as yet?
6048This is the reason of this inquiry, Did you come in at the gate?
6048This is your hour, said He, and the power of darkness, when He cried out,''My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?''
6048This last has the body for his watch- house; the eyes and ears for his port- holes; the tongue therewith to cry, Who comes there?
6048This was honest and plain; but what said Mr. Badman to her?
6048Thou art in a strait, wilt thou fly before Moses, or with David fall into the hands of the Lord?
6048Thou booby, say''st thou nothing but Cuckoo?
6048Thou didst so wonderfully pour out thy wrath upon him, to the making of him cry out,''My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?''
6048Thou hast already been unfaithful in thy service to Him; and how dost thou think to receive wages of Him?
6048Thou hast been a cumber- ground[104] long already, and wilt thou continue so still?
6048Thou horrible wretch, dost not know that thou hast sinned thyself beyond the reach of grace, and dost thou think to find mercy now?
6048Thou professest thou believest in Christ: is he thy joy, and the life of thy soul?
6048Thou professest to believe thou hast a share in another world: hast thou let got THIS, barren fig- tree?
6048Thou seemest angry, why dost on us frown?
6048Thou simple bird, what makes thou here to play?
6048Thou subject are to cold o''nights, When darkness is thy covering; At days thy danger''s great by kites, How can''st thou then sit there and sing?
6048Thou talkest like one upon whose head is the shell to this very day; for what should he pawn them, or to whom should he sell them?
6048Though men that have a great design, do, and must make use of those that in reason are most likely to effect it, yet must the Lord do so too?
6048Through what righteousness?
6048Thus, is Christ formed in me, the only hope of glory?
6048Thus, when the godly among the Jews made prayers that rebellious Israel might not be cast out of the vineyard, what saith the answer of God?
6048Thy sin has brought this army to thy walls, and shall it bring it in judgment to do execution into thy town?
6048Time runs; and will you be slothful?
6048To see a sea of brimstone burn, Who would it not affright?
6048To whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest?
6048True, he stopped the blow but for a time; but why did he stop it at all?
6048True, the men were but mean in themselves; for what is Paul or what Apollos, or what was James or John?
6048Tush, said Obstinate, away with your book; will you go back with us, or no?
6048WHAT SHALL I SAY?
6048Was He not angry with me?
6048Was death strong upon him?
6048Was it for that some special mercies laid obligations upon thee, or how?
6048Was it good also that thou madest a prey of the innocency and simplicity of the now miserable town of Mansoul?
6048Was it not, therefore, well worth the seeing?
6048Was it, think you, that you might show yourselves women, and that you might go out like a company of innocents to gaze on your mortal foes?
6048Was not her father a poor Amorite?
6048Was not his mind elevated a thousand degrees beyond sense, carnal reasons, fleshly love, self- concerns, and the desires of embracing temporal things?
6048Was that all that you saw at the house of the Interpreter?
6048Was thy soul worth so much, and didst thou so little regard it?
6048Was your father and mother willing that you should become a pilgrim?
6048Wast robb''d?
6048Wast thou not told of hell- fire, those intolerable flames?
6048We look, said Paul, but whither?
6048Well then, did you not know, about 10 years ago, one Temporary in your parts, who was a forward man in religion then?
6048Well then, do you so run?
6048Well then, sinner, what sayest thou?
6048Well, and how did you answer him?
6048Well, and how did you apply this to yourself?
6048Well, and what conclusion came the old man and you to, at last?
6048Well, and what did he think and do then?
6048Well, but brother, I pray thee tell us what was it that was the cause of thy being upon thy knees even now?
6048Well, but did Mr. Badman and his master agree so well?
6048Well, but it seems he did live to come out of his time, but what did he then?
6048Well, but mark the answer of God,''Son of man, What is the vine- tree more than any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest?
6048Well, but now we are upon it, pray show me the difference between swearing and cursing; for there is a difference, is there not?
6048Well, but pray return again to Mr. Badman; how did he carry it to his wife, after he was married to her?
6048Well, but what art thou now?
6048Well, but what did he do when all was almost gone?
6048Well, but what makes you think he is gone to hell?
6048Well, but what will you say to this question?
6048Well, if you will not, will you give me leave to do it?
6048Well, now suppose that a man, by an immediate hand of God, is brought to a morsel of bread, what must he do now?
6048Well, said Mr. Great- heart, will you have the Pilgrims up into their lodging?
6048Well, then, said Faithful, what is that one thing that we shall at this time found our discourse upon?
6048Well, what shall be done for this man?
6048Well, when they had, as I said, thus saluted each other, Mr. Money- love said to Mr. By- ends, Who are they upon the road before us?
6048Well, you have told me what were Mr. Badman''s thoughts now, being sick, of his condition; pray tell me also what he then did when he was sick?
6048Were all the world gracious, if God were not gracious, what was man the better?
6048Were the thunder- claps of the law so terrible, and didst thou so slight them?
6048Were they sinners above all men upon whom the tower in Siloam fell and slew them?
6048Were they troubled at it?
6048Were you dead, and are you made alive?
6048What a dishonour to posterity was the death of Balaam, Agag, Ahithophel, Haman, Judas, Herod, with the rest of their companions?
6048What a pitiful thing it is to be left in such a case?

6048Why?
6048Why?
6048Why?
6048Why?
6048Will He within Open to sorry me, though I have been An undeserving rebel?

6048Will not this persuade thine heart, nor make thee bethink thyself?
6048Will she venture To clash at light?

6048Will they fortify themselves?
6048Will they help to ease the pains of hell?
6048Will they make an end in a day?
6048Will they not rather imitate Korah, Dathan, and Abiram''s friends, even rail at me for condemning him, as they did at Moses for doing execution?
6048Will they not rather put him upon all tricks, evasions, irreligious consequences and conclusions, such as will serve to cherish sin?
6048Will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are bunt?''
6048Will they sacrifice?
6048Will ye render me a recompence?
6048Will you leave your friends and companions behind you?
6048Will you not go in, and stay till morning?
6048Will you now desert your old friend, or do you think of standing by me?''
6048Wilt neither tidings from heaven or hell awake thee?
6048Wilt thou be like that simple one named in the seventh of Proverbs, that will be drawn to the slaughter by the cord of a silly lust?
6048Wilt thou be like the bird that hasteth to the snare of the fowler?
6048Wilt thou be like the silly fly, that is not quiet unless she be either entangled in the spider''s web, or burned in the candle?
6048Wilt thou be so sottish and unwise, as to venture thy soul upon a little uncertain time?
6048Wilt thou hearken unto me if I give thee counsel?
6048Wilt thou not hear yet, barren fig- tree?
6048Wilt thou not yet awake?
6048Wilt thou provoke him to do it?
6048Wilt thou provoke still?
6048Wilt thou run?
6048Wilt thou say still,''Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,''and''a little folding of the hands to sleep?''
6048Wilt thou stop thine ears, and shut thy eyes?
6048Wilt thou yet turn thyself in thy sloth, as the door is turned upon the hinges?
6048Wilt thou, then, lose this Christ, this food, this pleasure, this heaven, this happiness, for a thing of nought?
6048Would he be afraid of friends, or shrink at the most fearful threatenings that the greatest tyrants could invent to give him?
6048Would he favour sin?
6048Would he love this world below?
6048Would he not sometimes talk of his wife when she was dead?
6048Would it not have been so to any of us, had we been used as he, to be robbed, and wounded too, and that in a strange place, as he was?
6048Would such an one, thinkest thou, run again into the same course of life as before, and venture the damnation that for sin he had already been in?
6048Would they be here again for a thousand worlds?
6048Would they not, I say, have concluded that he was a righteous man?
6048Would you act thus by God''s holy commandments?
6048Would you be willing to be damned for slothfulness?
6048Would you choose one and reject another?
6048Would you make my Lord''s people to transgress?
6048Wouldst thou be glad to be kept out of heaven with a back well clothed, and a belly well filled with the dainties of this world?
6048Wouldst thou be glad to have all thy good things in thy lifetime, to have thy heaven to last no longer than while thou dost live in this world?
6048Wouldst thou be that within thou dost appear, Or seem to be in outward exercise Before the most devout, and godly wise?
6048Wouldst thou be very upright and sincere?
6048Wouldst thou be willing to be deprived of eternal happiness and felicity?
6048Wouldst thou fare deliciously every day, and have thy soul delight itself in fatness?
6048Wouldst thou know how God could still love his creatures, and do his justice no wrong?
6048Wouldst thou know how God''s heart stood affected toward man before the world began?
6048Wouldst thou know how far a man may go on in a profession of the gospel, and yet fall away?
6048Wouldst thou know how hard it is to go to heaven?
6048Wouldst thou know man''s inclination so soon as he is born?
6048Wouldst thou know somewhat concerning that?
6048Wouldst thou know what is the wages of sin?
6048Wouldst thou know what that Christ that died for sinners is doing in that place whither he is gone?
6048Wouldst thou know what thou art, and what is in thine heart?
6048Wouldst thou know what, or who they are that shall go to heaven?
6048Wouldst thou know where God did place man after he had made him?
6048Wouldst thou know whether God looked upon Adam''s eating[ the fruit of] the forbidden tree to be sin or no?
6048Wouldst thou know whether God''s love did still abide towards his creatures for anything they could do to make him amends?
6048Wouldst thou know whether a man by nature be a friend to God, or an enemy?
6048Wouldst thou know whether a man by nature may know something of the invisible things of God?
6048Wouldst thou know whether he did eat or drink with his disciples after he rose out of the grave?
6048Wouldst thou know whether he did in that body bear all our sins, and where?
6048Wouldst thou know whether he did rise again after he was crucified, with the very same body?
6048Wouldst thou know whether he made them of something or nothing?
6048Wouldst thou know whether he put forth any labour in making them, as we do in making things?
6048Wouldst thou know whether it be the desire of the heart of man by nature, to follow God in his own way or no?
6048Wouldst thou know whether it were the devil who beguiled them, or whether it was a natural serpent, such as do haunt the desolate places?
6048Wouldst thou know whether man be defiled in every part of him by the sin he hath committed?
6048Wouldst thou know whether man once fallen from God by transgression, can recover himself by all he can do?
6048Wouldst thou know whether man was cursed for his sin?
6048Wouldst thou know whether man''s obedience will obtain that Christ should die for them, or save them?
6048Wouldst thou know whether natural man can abstain from the outward act of sin against the law, merely by a principle of nature?
6048Wouldst thou know whether righteousness, justification, and sanctification do come through the virtue of Christ''s blood?
6048Wouldst thou know whether sin were sufficient to draw God''s love from his creatures?
6048Wouldst thou know whether that man did live there all his time or not?
6048Wouldst thou know whether that sin be imputed to us?
6048Wouldst thou know whether the curse did fall on man, or on the whole creation with him?
6048Wouldst thou know whether they that live and die in their sins shall go to heaven or not?
6048Wouldst thou know whether this Saviour had a body of flesh and bones before the world was, or took it from the Virgin Mary?
6048Wouldst thou know whither those do go that die unconverted to the faith of Christ?
6048Wouldst thou wade?
6048Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?''
6048Yea, art thou thus when no eye doth thee see But that which is invisible?
6048Yea, did we not even kill ourselves with our earnest intreaties of thee to consider of thine estate, and by Christ to escape this dreadful day?
6048Yea, did we not tell thee that God, out of his love to sinners, sent Christ to die for them, that they might, by coming to him, be saved?
6048Yea, how can you now, though he is at a distance, endure to think of such a mighty one?
6048Yea, if any that see her should say, Why do you so?
6048Yea, was he not now in the combat?
6048Yea, what conformity unto him, to his sorrows and sufferings?
6048Yea, what means this your taking up of arms against, and the shutting of your gates upon us, the faithful servants of your King?
6048Yea, what wilt thou then do, if death and hell shall come to visit thee, and thou in thy sins, and under the curse of the law?
6048Yea, wrap thy head with clouds and hide thy face, As threatening to withdraw from us thy grace?
6048You came in at the gate, did you not?
6048You may ask me what that is?
6048You say he was proud; but will you show me now some symptoms of one that is proud?
6048You say true; but did you meet nobody else in that valley?
6048You say well, for what fellowship hath he that believeth with an infidel?
6048You speak mystically, do you not?
6048You talk of rubs; what rubs have you met withal?
6048You will say, what is that?
6048Your souls are worth a thousand worlds; and will you be slothful?
6048[ 108] What is meant by the Hill Difficulty?
6048[ 112] Examine, which do you like better, self- soothing or soul- searching doctrine?
6048[ 130] Reader, can you feed upon Christ by faith?
6048[ 134] But did I laugh?
6048[ 138] Can we wonder that the pilgrims longed to spend some time with such lovely companions?
6048[ 140] Now the King, at the sight of the petition, was glad; but how much more think you, when it was seconded by his Son?
6048[ 148] When he had left her, Prudence said, Did I not tell thee, that Mr. Brisk would soon forsake thee?
6048[ 14] But I beheld in my dream, that a man came to him, whose name was Help, and asked him what he did there?
6048[ 15] But now, when did the day of grace end with this man?
6048[ 162] Is not this too much the case with professors of this day?
6048[ 163] What is this something that By- ends knew more than all the world?
6048[ 167] Pretended friends come with such expostulations as these: Why, dear Sir, will you give such offence?
6048[ 192] Look, said Christian, did not I tell you so?
6048[ 192]What must the pure and holy Jesus have suffered when He tasted death in all its bitterness?
6048[ 194] So on they went, and Joseph said, Can not we see to the end of this Valley as yet?
6048[ 1] Was Christ slothful in the work of your redemption?
6048[ 228] Then said Christian, What means this?
6048[ 231] Then said Hopeful to the Shepherds, I perceive that these had on them, even every one, a show of pilgrimage, as we have now; had they not?
6048[ 238] Now, is it not very common to hear professors talk at this rate?
6048[ 242] Then they asked Mr. Feeble- mind how he fell into his hands?
6048[ 248] What was this good thing?
6048[ 254] Who can stand in the evil day of temptation, when beset with Faint- heart, Mistrust, and Guilt, backed by the power of their master, Satan?
6048[ 257] Then said Mr. Contrite to them, Pray how fareth it with you in your pilgrimage?
6048[ 267] Also, are we not now to walk by faith?
6048[ 268] What can not Great- heart do?
6048[ 276] Then said the Pilgrims, What means this?
6048[ 27] Well, but whither do they go, that are thus gone out of the temple or church of God?
6048[ 284] Then said Christian to Hopeful( but softly), Did I not tell you he cared not for our company?
6048[ 288] How, then, dost thou say, I believe in Christ?
6048[ 296] Then they said- Well, Ignorance, wilt thou yet foolish be, To slight good counsel, ten times given thee?
6048[ 309] My soul, what''s lighter than a feather?
6048[ 311] Who are these ministering spirits, that the author calls"men"?
6048[ 312] Is she not rightly named Bubble?
6048[ 312] What are these two difficulties?
6048[ 39] Then said Christian, What means this?
6048[ 3]"What shall I do?"
6048[ 44] Sir, is it not time for me to go on my way now?
6048[ 45]"In the midst of these heavenly instructions, why in such haste to go?"
6048[ 47] Then said the Interpreter to Christian, Hast thou considered all these things?
6048[ 59] What is this garden but the world?
6048[ 60] What are these ill- favoured ones?
6048[ 62] But why go back again?
6048[ 6] I looked then, and saw a man named Evangelist coming to him, who asked,"Where fore dost thou cry?"
6048[ 77] What say you, O my Mansoul?
6048[ 78] But shall we be flattered out of our lives?
6048[ 89]''Thou hast given credit to the truth''; what is this but faith-- the faith of the operation of God?
6048[ 8] Barren fig- tree, can it be imagined that those that paint themselves did ever repent of their pride?
6048[ 8] Before they took him his intent was to preach on these words,''Dost thou believe on the Son of God?''
6048[ 8] If thou now say, Which is the way?
6048[ 99] Is there righteousness in Christ?
6048[ But, pray, what talk have the people about him?
6048[ Does it stun them?]
6048always at it?
6048and are these Christian''s children?
6048and be The words of God in truth thy prop and stay?
6048and by seeing the beams and sweet influences of the sun strike downwards?
6048and did no more of them but you come out to escape the danger?
6048and do not the members receive their whole light, guidance, and wisdom from it?
6048and dost thou mingle thy tears with thy drink?
6048and dost thou sigh and mourn in secret?
6048and doth your life and conversation testify the same?
6048and for what are they hanged there?
6048and going on pilgrimage too?
6048and how far go you this way?
6048and if they think they shall know and do these, why not know others, and rejoice in their welfare also?
6048and is all that thou hast to be ventured for his name in this world?
6048and is also the life of Jesus''made manifest in thy mortal body?''
6048and is he more precious to thee than the whole world?
6048and is not that a good life that is according to God''s commandments?
6048and is there knowledge in the Most High?''
6048and may I lodge here tonight?
6048and to be had upon no lower rates than thy immortal soul?
6048and what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?''
6048and what communion hath light with darkness?
6048and what hath Emmanuel said?
6048and what he would have?
6048and what is your business here?
6048and what would you have?
6048and when so like to be weary, as when almost at their journey''s end?
6048and whence he came?
6048and while they thus call themselves, they should be the veriest rogues for all evil, sin, and villainy imaginable, who could help it?
6048and whither are you bound?
6048and who hath brought up these?
6048and who shall repay him what he hath done?
6048and why did he dispraise it, but of a covetous mind to wrong and beguile the seller?
6048and, Will it go well with the town of Mansoul?
6048are not even ye that have been converted by us?
6048are not thy kindred as hardened as thou wast?
6048are they forgotten?
6048are they thrown over the bar?
6048are you that countryman, then?
6048art thou become like unto us?''
6048art thou resolved to sleep the sleep of death?
6048be persuaded to pause a moment, and ask yourself the question- What is my case?
6048because they would adorn the gospel?
6048because they would beautify religion, and make sinners to fall in love with their own salvation?
6048behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can not contain thee; how much less this house that I have built?''
6048but can it turn all things into grace?
6048but doth thy life and conversation declare thee to be such an one?
6048but where are thy fruits, barren fig- tree?
6048but, Hath he fruit?
6048but, Were you doers, or talkers only?
6048can it make all things work together for good?
6048can not you help me?
6048can we suppose he will now admit of the wit and contrivance of men in those things that are, in comparison to them, the heavenly things themselves?
6048canst thou think that God hath given thee this that thou mightest thereby make a prey of thy neighbour?
6048did he die before he was born again?
6048did he die in unbelief?
6048did he light upon you?
6048did he not behave himself valiantly?
6048did your neighbours talk so?
6048do they use to show such kind of favours to traitors?
6048do you think she will go?
6048dost the wanton play, Or doth thy testy humour tend its way?
6048dost thou think to run fast enough with the world, thy sins and lusts in thy heart?
6048for to him I would deliver my message?''
6048had he faith and holiness?
6048has not this river pleasant streams?
6048have I been unfaithful to Him?
6048how can he see?
6048how can that be, since they are hurtful?
6048how hot will that make wrath?
6048how long has it lasted?
6048how shall I pass through this dark entry into another world?
6048how she flies and sings,[20] But could she do so if she had not wings?
6048how would Thy heart and pulse beat after heav''nly things, After the upper and the nether springs?
6048in each part What flames appear?
6048in this so good a soil?
6048is he''formed in me the hope of glory?''
6048is it little in thine eyes that our King doth offer thee mercy, and that, after so many provocations?
6048is justifying, saving faith, nothing more than a belief of the truth?
6048is not this excellent water?
6048is old Good- deed yet alive in Mansoul?
6048is she not a tall, comely dame, something of a swarthy complexion?
6048is the celestial glory of so small esteem with him, that he counteth it not worth running the hazards of a few difficulties to obtain it?
6048more fools still?
6048neighbour Christian, where are you now?
6048neither hit last year nor this?
6048no Mount Zion?
6048now what shall we do?
6048of a wicked man dying in despair?
6048or did he die with ease, quietly?
6048or is it muddy, and mixed with the doctrines of men?
6048or must this silver palace be of that nature either?
6048or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them to suffice them?''
6048or standeth your religion in word or in tongue, and not in deed and truth?
6048or that he may, in a short time, have another of his fits before us, and may lose the use of his limbs?
6048or that if they had known him and his life, yet to see him die so quietly, would they not have concluded that he had made his peace with God?
6048or that those that pursue this world did ever repent of their covetousness?
6048or that those that walk with wanton eyes did ever repent of their fleshly lusts?
6048or that, at some time or other, he may forget to lock us in?
6048or the devil endure that Christ Jesus should be honoured both by faith and a heavenly conversation, and let that soul alone at quiet?
6048or the gospel declared by us?
6048or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
6048or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
6048or what wilt resolve with thyself?
6048or who can forego them?
6048or whom have I defrauded?
6048or whose ass have I taken?
6048or will all our exquisite happiness centre in the glory of God?
6048or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?''
6048or, that I would come to God in the best of my performances?
6048said Faithful to his brother, Who comes yonder?
6048said Mr. Feeble- mind, is he slain?
6048said old Honest, what should I think?
6048said she,''and what the son of my womb?
6048said she; will she not take warning by her husband''s afflictions?
6048said the Porter, was he your husband?
6048saith God; what a fig- tree is this, that hath stood this year in my vineyard, and brought me forth no fruit?
6048seek the living among the dead?
6048shall I destroy thee?
6048shall I fall upon thee and grind thee to powder, or make thee a monument of the richest grace?
6048shall it not utterly wither, when the east- wind toucheth it?
6048such highly- favoured Christians in Doubting Castle?
6048tempted to destroy thyself?
6048that I heard speak well of the holy Word of God?
6048that thou mightest thereby go beyond and beguile thy neighbour?
6048then let old Good- deed save you from your distresses?
6048there is yet a question, Whether it may be well with thy soul at last?
6048they think that she will be run down with a push, or, as they said,''What do these feeble Jews?
6048to be in my case, who that so was could but have done so?
6048to contemn him when he is on the throne, when he is on the throne of his glory?
6048was he a lover and a worshipper of God by Christ according to his word?
6048was not his mind elevated a thousand degrees beyond sense, carnal reason, fleshly love, and the desires of embracing temporal things?
6048what agreement?
6048what communion can there be in such marriages?
6048what concord?
6048what feats not perform?
6048what is her pedigree?
6048what is this but to count him less wise than thyself?
6048what less than a river could quench the thirst of more than six hundred thousand men, besides women and children?
6048what shall I do unto thee?
6048what victories not gain?
6048what will that do?
6048what''s the matter?
6048what, must we With you lift up our voice?
6048where are you?
6048where are you?
6048who are they that are thus unspeakably blessed?
6048who could blame them, since their dead friends were come to life again?
6048who do you think saw themselves in the best condition?
6048who do you think was in the best condition?
6048who is there that is weaned from the world, and from their sins and pleasures, to fly from the wrath to come?
6048who knows that is yet alive, what the torments of hell are?
6048who would not be a subject to it?
6048who would not be in the rich man''s state?
6048who would not but worship before it?
6048whom have I oppressed?''
6048why do you think they consider that?
6048why else do men so soon grow weary?
6048why then do the fallen angels tremble there?
6048wife and children, and all?
6048will you not believe your own eyes?
6048wilt thou go to hell for sin, or to life by grace?
6048wilt thou not yet set open thy gate to receive us, the deputies of thy King, and those that would rejoice to see thee live?
6048wilt thou turn, or shall I smite?
6048would they not call thee a thousand fools?
6048would you have us trust to what Christ, in His own person, has done without us?
6048wouldst thou swim?
6047And God said unto Noah,or told Noah his purpose: The same way he went with Abraham:"Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do?"

6047Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him?

6047Hast thou eaten of the tree?
6047How doth God know,say they,"Can he judge through the thick cloud?"
6047I know not: am I my brother''s keeper?
6047I,saith he,"even I, am he that comforteth you; who art thou that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die"( Isa 51:12)?
6047If Christ hath enlightened all men as he is God( as thou confessest) then hath he not enlightened all men as he is the Son of God? 6047 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted?

6047As, how many good men and good women do unawares, through their uncircumspectness, drive their own children down into the deep?
6047As, who should say, My brethren, are you troubled and persecuted for your faith?
6047Ask thy heart, What evil dost thou see in sin?
6047At the Lord''s table, I do eat; what though?
6047At this( as I said) you object, and say,''Did I ever find baptism a pest or plague to churches?
6047Ay, but when didst thou see thyself a lost creature for want of faith in the son of Mary?
6047Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?
6047Because the neglect of the law will be sure to damn them; therefore wouldst thou put poor souls to follow that which will not save them?
6047Because then it had been in vain for the Lord to have given the scriptures to teach men out of, either concerning himself or themselves: Why?
6047Because''the children are partakers of flesh and blood; he also himself likewise took part of the same''; To what end?
6047Being justified freely by his grace: How?
6047Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?
6047Believing what?
6047Besides, if this be granted, why had not God respect to Cain''s offering, as well as to Abel''s?
6047Besides, oppression makes a wise man mad; and when a man is mad what evils will he not do?
6047Besides, the proposition is universal, why then should you be the chief intended?
6047Besides, the threatening being pressed with an''How shall we escape?''
6047Besides, to what particular church was the epistle to the Hebrews wrote?
6047Blessed are they that do make peace; for why?
6047Both those of Peter, and the first of John?
6047Brethren what profit is''t if a man saith That he hath faith, and hath not works; can faith Save him?
6047But I ask, how came nature to be so weak, but through sin?
6047But I fear I am lost and cast away, Sentence is past, and who reverse it may?
6047But I say, suppose it should be granted, is it because reprobation made him incapable, or sin?
6047But I say, what can the church do more to the sinners or open profane?
6047But I say, where is thy love to thine enemy?
6047But I say, wherein is the proposition offensive?
6047But I say, who can tell, who can tell altogether, what and how much the Father delighted in his Son before the world began?
6047But I say, who understandeth this?
6047But I say, why did John call them vipers?
6047But I would ask these men,''If the word of God came out from them?
6047But Naomi replied, Wherefore will ye, My daughters, thus resolve to go with me?
6047But again, Why should you be so angry with my brother, for joining of a sinner and a liar together?
6047But all along Christ compareth his love to ours; now, why doth he so, if they be so much alike?
6047But am I so?
6047But are not good works the righteousness of faith?
6047But are these words of faith?
6047But are you out of that wilderness mentioned?
6047But are you sure it is the same that we look for?
6047But as Adam fell with us in him, so did he not by faith rise with us in him?
6047But as to the matter in hand, What positive precept do they transgress that will not reject him that God bids us receive, if he want light in baptism?
6047But by what rule then would you gather persons into church communion?
6047But by what rule would you receive them into fellowship with yourselves?
6047But can not the church, and every woman in it, build up themselves without their woman''s meetings?
6047But can women no other way be built up in their most holy faith, but by meetings of their own without their men?
6047But can you commit your soul to their ministry, and join with them in prayer; and yet not count them meet for other gospel privileges?
6047But did this man rise again from the dead, that very man, with that very body wherewith he was crucified?
6047But do kings use to die for captive slaves?
6047But do not the scriptures make mention of a Christ within?
6047But do you speak seriously, and in good earnest?
6047But do you think it is because of the first?
6047But do you think this is certain?
6047But dost thou plead by thy righteousness, for mercy for thyself?
6047But doth not a man bring forth fruit unto God, that walketh orderly according to the ten commandments?
6047But doth that install it in that place and dignity, that was never intended for it?
6047But doth this bloody city spill this blood by herself simply, as she is the adulterated whore?
6047But farther, thou sayest; Is it not the whole mystery of salvation, God manifested in the flesh?
6047But further: Do we not all agree, that men that preach the gospel should do it like workmen that need not be ashamed?
6047But good Sir, are you now for unwritten verities?
6047But good Sir, why so short- winded?
6047But hath he no better thoughts of his own good deeds, which are by the law?
6047But he answereth, What, mean ye to weep, and to break my heart?
6047But he said, Why are ye troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
6047But hold, dost thou do it with the Publican''s heart, sense, dread and simplicity?
6047But hold, stay; wherefore?
6047But how are we by this man forgiven this?
6047But how are we justified by this man''s obedience?
6047But how came Diotrephes so lately into our parts?
6047But how came the apostle by this confidence of his well- being and of his share in another world?
6047But how can God respect a man, before he respect his offering?
6047But how can that be, since no affliction for the present seems joyous?
6047But how can that be, where the heart is not sanctified and made holy?
6047But how comes this to be a SIGN of the approach of the ruin of Antichrist?
6047But how could be either the one or the other, if the seventh day sabbath was taught to men by the light of nature, which is the moral law?
6047But how could he be naked, when before he had made himself an apron?
6047But how did he undertake them?
6047But how dost thou know that thou shalt continue therein?
6047But how indifferent?
6047But how is it that they are there?
6047But how is this similitude pertinent?
6047But how little of this is found among men?
6047But how long ago?
6047But how must he take away the curse?
6047But how must that be done?
6047But how must this be done?
6047But how shall Christ by this rod, sword, or spirit of his mouth, consume this wicked, this mystery of iniquity?
6047But how shall I bring it to pass?
6047But how shall I know that I am born again?
6047But how shall kings do it?
6047But how shall we know when this time is come?
6047But how should I serve God?
6047But how then doth it say, that the knowledge of God is manifested in them?
6047But how then is he clear from having a hand in the death of him that perisheth?
6047But how then must Jesus Christ, first save us from the filth?
6047But how then must they see him?
6047But how were they that had got the victory?
6047But how will he make her naked?
6047But how will you prove that there was a church, a rightly constituted church, at Rome, besides that in Aquila''s house?
6047But how, or why doth the leaf, or the fig fall from the tree?
6047But how?
6047But how?
6047But how?
6047But how?
6047But how?
6047But how?
6047But how?
6047But how?
6047But how?
6047But if I fly, some will blame me: what must I do now?
6047But if faith doth so naturally cause good works, what then is the reason that God''s people find it so hard a matter to be fruitful in good works?
6047But if indeed the first day of the week be the new christian sabbath, why is there no more spoken of its institution in the testament of Christ?
6047But if it be changed, then how can it be the same?
6047But is there a member who dares to violate them?
6047But is there yet another reason why this holy duty should, in special as it is, be commanded to be performed on the first day of the week?
6047But is there, therefore, no need at all of good works, because a man is justified before God without them?
6047But is this a sign of the approach of the ruin of Antichrist?
6047But is this all the wit thou hast?
6047But may we not fly in a time of persecution?
6047But might not God have kept Adam from inclining, if he would?
6047But might they not be healed by humbling themselves?
6047But my husband is an unbeliever; what shall I do?
6047But now I would inquire: Had Israel done the commandment, if they had eaten the passover raw, or boiled in water?
6047But now if other men should do as this man, how many universal churches should we have?
6047But perhaps some may ask me, WHAT INIQUITY THEY MUST DEPART FROM THAT RELIGIOUSLY NAME THE NAME OF CHRIST?
6047But perhaps thy heart is so hard, and thy mind so united to the pleasing of thy vile affections, that thou wilt say,''What care I for my servant?
6047But put the case I had failed herein, Doth this warrant your unlawful practice?
6047But saith the open profane, why can not we be reckoned saints also?
6047But say you,"Did he put and end to the law for them who still live in transgression?"
6047But say you,''We have now found an advocate for sin against God, in the breach of one of HIS holy commands?''
6047But say you,''Wherein lies the force of this man''s argument against baptism as to its place, worth, and continuance?''
6047But say you,''Who taught you to divide betwixt Christ and his precepts, that you word it at such a rate?
6047But sayest thou, I will be righteous in myself that I may have wherewith to commend me to God, when I go to him for mercy?
6047But says one, Would you have us singular?
6047But secondly, I pray where was Christ when he spake those words?
6047But shall I speak the truth for you?
6047But shall he not lose his body before he come again?
6047But shall we be sure of it?
6047But since he can do so, why doth he suffer this, and that thing to appear, to act, and do so horribly repugnant to his word?
6047But still the question is, Whether God by this his determination doth not lay a necessity on the creature to sin?
6047But suppose they were all baptized, because they had light therein, what then?
6047But thou wilt say unto me, Why do men profess the name of Christ that love not to depart from iniquity?
6047But to lay open my folly at last thou sayest, Doth not the scripture say, Christ is within you, except ye be reprobates?
6047But was not Adam unexpectedly surprised?
6047But was that a sufficient shelter against either thorn or thistle?
6047But were not these gentlemen more afraid of losing their own places and preferments, than of the king''s losing of his toll and custom?
6047But what Jesus?
6047But what acts of disobedience do we indulge them in?
6047But what aileth the Pharisee?
6047But what be these certain circumstances?
6047But what be these other precepts?
6047But what blessedness doth follow the imputation of the righteousness of Christ, to one that is yet ungodly?
6047But what could not the law do?
6047But what day is this?
6047But what day?
6047But what did the raven then do?
6047But what do we more than talk of them?
6047But what doth your arguing reprove?''
6047But what follows?
6047But what follows?
6047But what follows?
6047But what if they that were stung, could not, because of the swelling of their face, look up to the brazen serpent?
6047But what is committing of the soul to God?
6047But what is impossible to a Creator?
6047But what is it to a child?
6047But what is it to be of the works of the law, or under the law?
6047But what is it to believe in Christ: and what to have faith in his blood?
6047But what is it to believe that he is Messias, or Christ?
6047But what is it to turn from the law to the Lord?
6047But what is the cause of all this slaying, and the reason of this abundance of corpses?
6047But what is the spirit of the world?
6047But what is there in my proposition, that men, considerate, can be offended at?
6047But what is this doctrine?
6047But what kind of being had the seventh day sabbath, and other Jewish rites and ceremonies, that by Christ''s resurrection were taken away?
6047But what man in the world can do this whose heart is not seasoned with the love of God and the love of Christ?
6047But what manner of nakedness was it?
6047But what need I grant you, that which can not be proved?
6047But what of that, since the wrinkles that are in their faces threaten not us but them?
6047But what righteousness have you of your own, to which you so dearly are wedded, that it may not be let go, for the sake of Christ?
6047But what saith it?
6047But what saith the apostle?
6047But what saith the jealous Lord?
6047But what salvation?
6047But what shall I do, I can not depart therefrom as I should?
6047But what shall I do, who am so cold, slothful, and heartless, that I can not find any heart to do any work for God in this world?
6047But what shall I say unto them?
6047But what should I thus discourse of the degrees of the torments of the damned souls in hell?
6047But what should men believe with the heart?
6047But what should they believe?
6047But what should we do with such kind of saints?
6047But what things are they?
6047But what unbecoming language is this for the children of the same father, members of the same body, and heirs of the same glory, to be accustomed to?
6047But what was Sheshach?
6047But what was the spirit of Diotrephes?
6047But what''s the reason?
6047But what, because they are not baptized, have they not Jesus Christ?
6047But what, if when he hath used it, he still continueth dark about it; what will you advise him now?
6047But what?
6047But when?
6047But whence came this but from an inward feeling by faith of the love of God, and of Christ, which passeth knowledge?
6047But where are they here forbidden to teach them other truths before they be baptized?
6047But where should we find him?
6047But where were they taken, or about what were they found?
6047But who knows all this?
6047But why can you indulge the baptists in many acts of disobedience?
6047But why could it not be that they should perish other where?
6047But why did you not answer these parts of my argument?
6047But why do YOU throw out FAITH?
6047But why is covetousness called idolatry?
6047But why it is said, Generations?
6047But why must he be imposed upon?
6047But why must the women have shame- facedness, since they live honestly as the men?
6047But why not meddle with Cain, since he was a murderer?
6047But why not?
6047But why peace first?
6047But why rejoice in this?
6047But why should HE be rebuked, that said he was for Christ?
6047But why so much offended at this?
6047But why the seventh day?
6047But why then did he thus abhor them?
6047But why then were they baptized?
6047But why then were they not circumcised?
6047But why to Abel?
6047But why was he crucified there for the sins of his children?
6047But why was he true God and true man?
6047But why was not all this done on the seventh day?
6047But why would they take from us the Holy Scriptures?
6047But why( some may say) must we come out?
6047But why, I say, is this day, on which our Lord rose from the dead, nominated as it is?
6047But why?
6047But with the voice of my thanksgiving, I Will offer sacrifice to thee on high, And pay my vows which I have vow''d, each one, For why?
6047But would you be imitating of, or accomplishing such a righteousness?
6047But wouldest thou change places with them?
6047But ye will say, Who are those ignorant persons, that shall find no favour at that day?
6047But you ask me,''If outward and bodily conformity be become a crime?''
6047But you ask,''Is my peace maintained in a way of disobedience?
6047But you ask,''Might they do so when they came into Canaan?''
6047But you bid me tell you,''What I mean by spirit baptism?''
6047But you descant; Is baptism one of the laws of Christ?
6047But you may ask, How did God deal with sinners before this righteousness was actually in being?
6047But you may ask, what is that righteousness, with which a Christian is made righteous before he doth righteousness?
6047But you may say, how can you prove that conscience is not of the same nature, of the Spirit of Christ?
6047But you object,''Must our love to the unbaptized indulge them in an act of disobedience?
6047But you say, Doth it not lead to God all that follow it?
6047But you tell me,''I use the arguments of the paedo- baptist, to wit, But where are infants forbidden to be baptized?''
6047But you will say, The scripture saith, he that descended is the same that ascended, which to me( say you) implies, none but the Spirit''s ascending?
6047But you will say, What, will not the Lord have mercy on ignorant souls?
6047But you will say, Who shall stand when he appears?
6047But you will say, doth not the scripture say, that it is the Spirit of Christ that doth make manifest or convince of sin?
6047But you will say, might they not be deceived?
6047But you will say, upon what then was the threatening and the command to punish grounded?
6047But you will say, what lies are those, that the devil beguileth poor souls withal?
6047But"who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord?"
6047But, Again, Wouldest thou have mercy for thy righteousness?
6047But, I say, how will they fail?
6047But, I say, if thou do it graciously, then a reward followeth;"For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing?
6047But, Sir, Are none but those of your way the public Christians?
6047But, Sir, since you are not peremptory in your proof; how came you to be so absolute in your practice?
6047But, Sir, who have I pleaded for, in the denial of any one ordinance of God?
6047But, What, What hast thou done by thy righteousness?
6047But, may some say, what good will it do a man to know that the love of Christ passeth knowledge?
6047By his being able to judge by nature, that there is such a thing as sin; as Christ saith,"Why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?"
6047By rest here, must needs be understood those not elect, because set one in opposition to the other; and if not elect, what then but reprobate?
6047By what law?
6047By which of the ten commandments is trusting to our own righteousness forbidden?
6047By which professors seem willingly led, though against so many plain commands and examples, written as with a sun beam, that he that runs may read?
6047Can a man be happy that is ignorant that he is hanging over hell by the poor weak thread of an uncertain life?
6047Can a man be happy, that is ignorant that he is without God and Christ, and hope?
6047Can no good thing come to us out of this?
6047Can not we love their persons, parts, graces, but we must love their sins?''
6047Can olives, brethren, on a fig- tree grow, Or figs on vines?
6047Can pride be where a soul for mercy craves?
6047Can repentance be where godly sorrow is not?
6047Can the same reason, or anything like it, for refusing baptism, be given now?''
6047Can we wonder that such a state of society was not long permitted to exist?
6047Can we wonder that those who preached the holy, humbling, self- denying doctrines of the cross, were persecuted to the death?
6047Can you build and leave out a stone in the foundation?
6047Canst thou, after a due examination of thyself, say that as to these things thou art innocent and clear?
6047Cast devils out, done wonders in the same?
6047Christ indeed could mount up( Acts 1:9), but me, poor me, how shall I get thither?
6047Civil commerce you will have with the worst, and what more have you with these?
6047Consequently, who can understand the love that saves him from them?
6047Consider, What conviction of thy goodness can the actions that flow from such a spirit give unto observers?
6047Could the state have selected a fitter tool for their purposes?
6047Counsel Second, Wouldest thou improve this love?
6047Death quaketh, and destruction falleth down dead at our feet: What, then, can stand before us?
6047Deep calleth unto deep: What''s that?
6047Depart: what quite?
6047Did Abel offer his best?
6047Did Christ''s two- fold righteousness qualify him for that work of righteousness, that was of God designed for him to do?
6047Did I say before, that religion is their pretence?
6047Did I say before, that the God of glory is desirous to be seen of us?
6047Did I say, it is fruitful?
6047Did he finish his work thereon?
6047Did not God know best what was best to do them good?
6047Did they suffer?
6047Didst thou believe, when thou saidst it, That God knew thy heart?
6047Didst thou not blush when thou laidst it down?
6047Do it therefore, and say, why should any thing have my heart but God, but Christ?
6047Do men either Pluck grapes of thorns, or figs or thistles gather?
6047Do not I fill heaven and earth?

6047Do stocks or stones answer prayers?
6047Do they lie too open to their spiritual foes?
6047Do they say that that blood of his which was shed without the gates of Jerusalem, doth not wash away sin, yea, all sin from him that believes?
6047Do they want a right frame of spirit?
6047Do we know how our sins provoke God?
6047Do we not see That all these things from us a fleeting be?
6047Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy?
6047Do ye think that th''scripture saith in vain, The spirit that lusts to hate, doth in you reign?
6047Do you allow their signing with the cross?
6047Do you allow their sprinkling?
6047Do you believe it?
6047Do you delight to have your hand against every man?''
6047Do you long for the milk of the promises?
6047Do you more to the openly prophane, yea, to all wizards and witches in the land?
6047Do you not know that he is far more above us, than we are above our horse or mule that is without understanding?
6047Do you not know that he may refuse to elect who he will, without abusing of them?
6047Do you not reserve to yourself the liberty of judging what they say?
6047Do you not see that the sceptre is departed from Judah?
6047Do you not see that those things that are spoken of as forerunners of my coming, are accomplished?
6047Do you not see the time that Daniel spake of is accomplished also?
6047Do you now know, that the resurrection of the body, and glory to follow, is the very quintessence of the gospel of Jesus Christ?
6047Do you suffer?
6047Do you think it is seemly for the church to parrot it against her husband?
6047Do you think that God gave the woman her hair, that she might deck herself, and set off her fleshly beauty therewith?
6047Do you think your eyes dazzle?
6047Do you want spiritual bread?
6047Do you want strength against Satan''s temptations?
6047Do you want strength of grace?
6047Does he appear in his glory?
6047Does he honour riches, and power, and wisdom, by descending in one of these classes?
6047Dost keep thine eye upon what thou hast done, And yet hast licence to look on the sun?
6047Dost think that such a sinner as thou art shall be heard of God?
6047Dost thou Do well, said God, to be so angry now?
6047Dost thou desire to be with them( Prov 24:1)?
6047Dost thou know the God with whom now thou hast to do?
6047Dost thou plead by thy righteousness for mercy for thyself?
6047Dost thou profess the name of Christ, and dost thou pretend to be a man departing from iniquity?
6047Dost thou profess the name of Christ, and dost thou pretend to be a man departing from iniquity?
6047Dost thou religiously name the name of Christ?
6047Dost thou see a soul that has the image of God in him?
6047Dost thou see the vileness of thy heart, the fruit of sin?
6047Dost thou show to others how thou lovest righteousness, by taking opportunities to do righteousness?
6047Dost thou so covet more, as not to be Affected with the grace bestowed on thee?
6047Dost thou suffer for righteousness''sake?
6047Dost thou think, that God hath eyes of flesh, or that he seeth as man sees?
6047Dost thou thus practise, because thou wouldest be taught to do outward acts of righteousness, and because thou wouldest provoke others to do so too?
6047Dost want or meat, or drink, or cloth?
6047Doth God find me so, when he seeth that the righteousness of his Son is upon me, being made over to me by an act of his grace?
6047Doth a wanton eye argue shamefacedness?
6047Doth he not here, by the lost sheep, mean the poor Publican?
6047Doth he touch thee with is dirty garments; or doth he annoy thee with his stinking breath?
6047Doth his posture of standing so like a man condemned offend thee?
6047Doth not God by these things ofttimes call our sins to remembrance, and provoke us to amendment of life?
6047Doth not the whole course of their way declare it to their face?
6047Doth the law call for satisfaction for our sins?
6047Doth the poor Publican stand to vex thee?
6047Doth this prove that baptism is essential to church communion?

6047Elias indeed had a chariot sent him to ride in thither, and went up by it into that holy place( 2 Kings 2:11): but I, poor I, how shall I get thither?
6047Else how can that assembly say AMEN at their prayer or giving of thanks?
6047Enoch is there, because God took him( Gen 5:24), but as for me, how shall I get thither?
6047Even thou that hast received the promise of forgiveness: How then can they do it with pleasure, who eat, and forget the Lord?
6047FIRST, How they are to be considered?
6047FOOTNOTE:[ 1]''Who is weak, and I am not weak?
6047Fifthly, Is Antichrist to be destroyed?
6047First, Must Antichrist be destroyed?
6047First, Prithee when didst thou begin to be righteous?
6047First, saith he, If women may praise God together for mercies received for the church of God, or for themselves?
6047First,''Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt?
6047For a brother in nature and religion to be so?
6047For a man to be content with this kind of faith, and to look to go to salvation by it, what to God is a greater provocation?
6047For as truly as thou sayest of thy fruitless tree, Cut it down, why doth it cumber the ground?
6047For he asketh me very devoutly,''Whether any unbaptized persons were concerned in these epistles?''
6047For how can the servant of this my Lord talk with this my Lord?
6047For if he did not heed who himself had baptized, much less did he heed who were baptized by others?
6047For if it be the initiating ordinance, it entereth them into the church: What church?
6047For such a man will thus conclude, that since the Creator of all is with him, what but creatures are there to be against him?
6047For was it not pleasant to this hypocrite, think you, to speak thus well of himself at this time?
6047For what glory is it, if when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently?
6047For what greater dignity can be put upon man''s righteousness, than to admit it?
6047For what is God''s design in the work of conviction for sin, and in his awakening of the conscience about it?
6047For what men?
6047For what pain of death was his body capable of, when his soul was separate from it?
6047For what''s the life of man?
6047For what?
6047For who wouldest thou have it; for another, or for thyself?
6047For, First, Is it better that thou receive judgment in this world, or that thou stay for it to be condemned with the ungodly in the next?
6047For, What iniquity is, who knows not?
6047For, did Abel offer?
6047For, pray, what was the flock, and who Christ''s sheep under the law, but the house and people of Israel?
6047For, while a man remains faithless and ignorant of the gospel, to what doth his obedient temper of mind incline?
6047Fourthly, Must Antichrist be destroyed?
6047Friend, I did not ask thee why the Jews did put him to death?
6047Friend, Who hath despised the day of small things?
6047Friend, dost thou speak this as from thy own knowledge, or did any other tell thee so?
6047Friend, what harm is it to join a dog and a wolf together?
6047Friend, what is this to the purpose?
6047Friend, will the law shew a man that his righteousness is sin and dung?
6047From whence come wars and fights, come they not hence, Ev''n from th''inordinate concupiscence That in your members prompts to variance?
6047Further, I make a question upon three scriptures, Whether all the saints, even in the primitive times, were baptized with water?
6047Further, suppose I should grant this groundless notion, Were not the Jews in Old Testament times to enter the church by circumcision?
6047Gaal mocked at Abimelech, and said, Who is Abimelech that we should serve him?
6047God, or the Pharisee?
6047Had he injured man at all?
6047Had he notice beforehand, and warning of the danger?
6047Had this Christ of God, our friend, given all he had to save us, had not his love been wonderful?
6047Has he chosen that day?
6047Has he concealed any of thy righteousness, or has he secretly informed against thee that thou art an hypocrite, and superstitious?
6047Hast quite forgot how thou wast wo nt to pray, And cry out for forgiveness night and day?
6047Hast thou a wife?
6047Hast thou an heart to be sorry for this wickedness?
6047Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?"
6047Hast thou escaped?
6047Hast thou fulfilled the whole law, and not offended in one point?
6047Hast thou lost thy friend for the sake of thy profession?
6047Hast thou made it thy business to give unto God the things that are God''s, and unto Caesar the things that are his, according as God has commanded?
6047Hast thou purged thyself from the pollutions and motions of sin that dwell in the flesh, and work in thy own members?
6047Hast thou taken delight in being defrauded and beguiled?
6047Hast thou, for the sake of thy faith and profession thereof, lost thy part in the world?
6047Hath God been so bountiful in making out himself about the supper, that few or none that own ordinances scruple it?
6047Hath he said it, and shall he not bring it to pass?"
6047Hath he spoken, and shall not make it good?''
6047Hath not man''s wisdom interposed to darken this part of God''s counsel?
6047Hath that Christ that was with God the Father before the world was, no other body but his church?
6047Hath the God of wisdom set them on foot among us?
6047Hath the ministration of God no glory?
6047Have I such an argument, in all my little book?
6047Have it?
6047Have they lost a good frame of heart?
6047Have they lost their peace with the world?
6047Have they lost their spiritual defence?
6047Have they no more peace with this world?
6047Have they not the means of grace?
6047Have we not talked of what he did at the Red Sea, and in the land of Ham many years ago, and have we forgot him now?
6047Have ye not read Of Job, how patiently he suffered?
6047Have ye not seen in him what was God''s end; How he doth pity and great love extend?

6047Have you learned to cry,''My Father?''
6047Have you not heard many complain that they are weary of church- communion, because of church contention?
6047Have you not"in your flock a male?"
6047Have you soberly, and submissively commended your apprehensions to those congregations in London, that are not of your persuasion in the case in hand?
6047Have you the staggers?
6047He begins with this question, Whether women fearing God may meet to pray together, and whether it be lawful for them so to do?
6047He can not strut, vapour, and swagger as thou dost?
6047He erreth in A CIRCUMSTANCE, thou errest in A SUBSTANCE; who must bear these errors?
6047He saith not as the hypocrite,"Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me"( Jer 2:35); or"What have we spoken so much against thee?"
6047He shall take of mine; What is that?
6047He that hath by faith received the spirit of holiness, shall not he be holy?
6047He that hath seen me, hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
6047He that is ungodly, hath a want of righteousness, even of the inward righteousness of works: but what must become of him?
6047He that planted the ear, shall he not hear?
6047He was God, a Creator, then; and is he not God now?
6047He was wroth: and why?
6047He will reckon them up so fast, and so fully, that thou wilt cry, Lord, when did I do this?
6047He, in whose heart the Holy Spirit has raised the solemn inquiry, What must I do to be saved?''
6047Hence he saith,''Is Christ divided,''or separate from his servants?
6047Hence such a time is rightly said to be a time to try us, or to find out what we are, and is there no good in this?
6047Her plagues are death, and mourning, and famine, and fire( Rev 18:8); are these things to be overlooked?
6047Her things are slain, and stink already, by the weapons that are made mention of before; what then will her carcase do?
6047Here is no consideration of what capacity the people might be of, that were to be persecuted; but what matters what they are?
6047Here now is a man an hungered, what must he feed upon?
6047His, or the Pharisee''s?
6047Hold, saith the apostle; stay a little here; first remember this, Is it meet to say unto God, What doest thou?
6047How can a sense of thy own baseness, of the vileness of thy heart, and of the holiness of God, stand with such a carriage?
6047How can he be a victor over himself that is led up and down by the nose by his own passions?
6047How can he know so much as the extent of the love of Christ in common?

6047How many are there in the world that pray for their children, and cry for them, and are ready to die[ for them]?

6047How much hath the peace of Christians been broken by an uncharitable interpretation of words and actions?
6047How much more then is he merciful and gracious, even in but mentioning terms of reconciliation?
6047How much more then must we needs be at loss as to the fullness of the knowledge of the love of Christ?
6047How needful is it, then, that we endeavour''the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace?''
6047How often have they sustained[ thee in] thy hunger, clothed thy nakedness?
6047How say you to these things, Do you make an open profession of them without dissembling?
6047How shall not the ministration of the Spirit be rather glorious?
6047How should the desires depart from it with that fervency as they should?
6047How should the soul abhor it as it should?
6047How shouldest thou rejoice, that the same faith should dwell both in thy parents and thee?
6047How sick art thou of sin?
6047How then can God put any trust in such people, or how can remission be extended to us for the sake of that?
6047How then can this sabbath now be kept?

6047How then shall it be thought that they should be so silly, to turn a company of weak women loose to be abused by the fallen angels?

6047How then?

6047How, not tempted?
6047How?
6047I am Joseph your own brother; And doth my father live?
6047I am baptiz''d, what then?
6047I am not of the number of them that say,"What profit should we have if we pray unto God?"
6047I answer, though I have not asserted it, yet let me ask, which is more odious, hell or sin?
6047I ask again, wherein dost thou think the blessedness of heaven consists?
6047I ask thee how it looks, and how thou likest it, suppose there were no guilt or punishment to attend thy love to, or commission of it?
6047I ask, What should it do there before, or to what purpose is it there, if it be not acted?
6047I ask, did he tell you so?
6047I believe that Christ will save me; what hurt is this to my neighbour?
6047I have often been amazed in my mind at this text, for how could Jesus Christ have said such a word if he had not been able to perform it?
6047I have told you, that this, though it were granted, cometh not up to the question; for we ask not,''whether they were so baptized?
6047I know the wise men of this world, of whom there are many, will say as to what I now press you unto; Who can shew us any good in it?
6047I love Christ because he will save me; what hurt is this to any?
6047I marvel what injury the Lord Jesus hath done this man, that he should have such indifferent thoughts of coming to God by him?

6047I remember what Abner said to Asahel,"Turn thee aside, from following me; wherefore should I smite thee to the ground?
6047I say again, should any so conclude hence, would not all experience prove him void of truth?
6047I say how easily might he have said this, and then have popt in those two verses above quoted, and so have killed the old one?
6047I say, Art thou a Pharisee?
6047I say, How easily might they thus have objected?
6047I say, What hast thou given to God thereby?
6047I say, was it not worth being in the furnace and in the den to see such things as these?
6047I say, what will such say when they shall read that the Publican did only acknowledge his iniquity, and found grace and favour at the hand of God?
6047I say, what wilt thou say to this?
6047I say, where is the honour they should put upon them?
6047I say, why are things thus left with us?
6047I say, will thy conscience justify thee here?
6047I say, wouldst thou go to heaven, because it is a place that is holy, or because it is a place remote from the pains of hell?
6047I suppose they did commence much together; for else with whom should this beast make war, and how should the church escape?
6047I then demand what precept bids you do this?
6047I went out from you full, but now I come, As it hath pleased God, quite empty home: Why then call ye me Naomi?
6047I will for this worship Christ as he has bid me; what hurt is this to anybody?
6047I wold know by what scripture you do it?
6047If God be for us, who can be against us?--Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God''s elect?
6047If God, when man had broke the law, had yet with all severity kept the world to the utmost condition of it, had he then been unjust?

6047If Samson''s riddle was so puzzling, what shall we think of this?
6047If a sense of some sin,[ for who sees all?
6047If any say, that these things may argue pride as well as carnal lusts; well, but why are they proud?
6047If heaven has gates, and they shall be shut, how wilt thou go in thither?
6047If it be asked, Who did appoint that meeting made mention of in Acts 12:12?
6047If it be good and godly, why may it not be accepted?
6047If it be said water baptism is not there intended, let them shew me how many baptisms there are besides water baptism?
6047If it be, why is it not embraced?
6047If it cost Lot''s wife dear for but looking back, shall not it cost them much dearer, that are going back, that are gone back again?
6047If mercy, what mercy?
6047If no, do you not dissemble?
6047If not, how do they differ?
6047If so, I ask, dost thou, according to the exhortation here,''Depart from iniqnity?''
6047If so; why do you so much dissemble with all the world, in print; to pretend you submit to others''judgment, and yet abide to condemn their judgments?
6047If the children of God shall''scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly, and the sinner appear?''
6047If the conduct of many professors were so vile, as there can be no doubt but that it was, how gross must have been that of the openly profane?
6047If the counsel of Gamaliel was good when given to the enemies of God''s people, why not fit to be given to Christians themselves?
6047If the dead rise not, what shall I be the better for all my trouble that here I meet with for the gospel of Christ?
6047If the very looks of God be so terrible, what will his blows be, think you?
6047If there be a difference in the light, show it wherein; whether in the nature, or otherwise?"
6047If therefore all the light that is in thee Be darkness, how great must that darkness be?
6047If they ask what light?
6047If they differ, where lieth the difference?
6047If they farther ask, why, what is that?
6047If they say, they retain the day, but change their manner of observation thereof; I ask, who has commanded them so to do?
6047If this be faith,( sayest thou) to profess him born, dead, risen and ascended without, then is there any unbeliever in England?
6047If this be so, then what should they do here, Who in their antic pranks of pride appear?
6047If this kind of worship may be performed, without their conduct and government?
6047If thou say, because God hath not chosen them, as well as chosen others: I answer,''Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God?
6047If what be possible?
6047If ye be buffeted for your faults, for what God''s word calls faults, what thank have you from God, or good men, though you take it patiently?
6047If you bid him wait, do you not encourage him to live in sin, as much as I do?
6047If you say no, as it is your wonted course; then again I ask you, what that was in which he did bear the sins of his children?
6047If"judgment must begin at the house of God,--what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
6047In Job''s day this was bewailed, that none or but a few said,"Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night?"

6047Is he therefore the author of your perishing, or his eternal reprobation either?
6047Is his heel taken in the spider''s web?
6047Is it an inward one?
6047Is it as separate from these, beauteous, or ill- favoured?
6047Is it because I have not accepted thy offering?
6047Is it because I love holiness?
6047Is it because the grace that he receiveth differeth from the grace that the elect are saved by?
6047Is it because they think themselves unworthy of their holy fellowship?
6047Is it because they think themselves unworthy of their holy fellowship?
6047Is it because thou wouldst be saved from hell, or because thou wouldst be freed from sin?

6047Is it possible that this tender, thus offered to the reprobate, should by him be thus received and embraced, and he live thereby?
6047Is it so to the present day under a faithful ministry?
6047Is it that our hearts might be estranged from him, and that we still should love the world?

6047Is not the secrets of thy heart open unto him?
6047Is not this blasphemy?

6047Is the fault in God, if any perish?
6047Is the truth?
6047Is the very being of sin rooted out of thy tabernacle?

6047May he have a good conscience without light therein?
6047May you indeed receive persons into the church unprepared for the Lord''s supper; yea, unprepared for that, with other solemn appointments?

6047Must we go to hell, and be damned, for want of faith in water baptism?
6047My fifth query was,"Is that very man with that very body within you, yea, or no?"
6047My last argument, you say, is this:''The world may wonder at your carriage to these unbaptized persons, in keeping them out of communion?''
6047My second query was,"What is the church of God redeemed by from the curse of law?
6047My seventh query was,"Hath that Christ that was with God the Father before the world was, no other body but his church?"
6047Namely, which Peter spake: This is the way in which the Spirit is given?
6047Nay rather, will not this, like a millstone about thy neck, drown thee in the deeps of hell?
6047Nay, do not even these things declare that you would take it away if you could?
6047Nay, dost thou know what original sin means?
6047Nay, doth not this argue, that thy heart is a rotten, cankered, and besotted heart?
6047Nay, in this I will assert nothing, but rather inquire:--What hast thou gained by all this thy righteousness?
6047Nay, what petition of any kind is there in thy vain- glorious oration from first to last?
6047Nay, you must make two questions of this one; that is, what is it for faith to come, and in what manner doth it come?
6047Need I read you a lecture?
6047Neither is baptism any thing?
6047No; the poor, the despised in this world, claim kindred with him--''Is not this the carpenter''s son?''
6047No?
6047Noah and Lot, who so holy as they, in the day of their affliction?
6047Noah and Lot, who so idle as they in the day of their prosperity?
6047Nor can any man propound such an essential way to cut off boasting as this, which is of God''s providing: for what has man here to boast of?
6047Not sullenly saying like that wicked king, Why should I wait on the Lord any longer?
6047Nothing of this hath been done by him in this life, and therefore how can any such be recorded for him in the book of life?
6047Now I will add, but what if he that can give a shilling, giveth nothing?
6047Now do you call conscience the light of Christ?
6047Now dost thou mean the Spirit of Christ?
6047Now if he means their ordinary sabbaths, or that called the seventh day sabbath, why doth he join the winter thereto?
6047Now if it be asked, What promise is entailed to our first day sabbath?
6047Now if the Captain, their king Apollion, be made to yield, how can his followers stand their ground?
6047Now if these things be so, how can the love that saveth us from them be known or understood to the full?
6047Now if you would know who this Lord Jesus is, look into Acts 10:28 and you shall see it was Jesus of Nazareth; would you know who that was?
6047Now let the man that professes the name of Christ religiously, consider with himself, unto what sin or vanity am I most inclined; Is it pride?
6047Now necessity walks about the streets, crying, Who is on the Lord''s side?
6047Now saith reason, how shall I come thither?
6047Now seeing the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is so nigh, even at the doors, what doth this speak to all sorts of people( under heaven) but this?
6047Now some may say, But what shall we do to depart from iniquity?
6047Now the Pharisee, like Haman, saith in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour, more than to myself?
6047Now the Spirit of Christ that leads also, but whither?
6047Now the question is, who shall prevail?
6047Now then, did the Publican this of his own head, or from his now mind?
6047Now this is a daring thing: I know their lies, saith he; and shall he not recompense for this?
6047Now this righteousness, the apostle casteth away, as was shewn before;''Not having mine own righteousness( saith he) which is of the law''; why?
6047Now we are come to the pinch, viz., Whether it be that of water, or no?
6047Now wherein doth it appear that he was without spot and blemish, but as he walked in the law?
6047Now, I say, when this part of the book of life shall be opened, what can be found in it, of the good deeds and heaven- born actions of wicked men?
6047Now, how then do you give them their liberty?
6047Now, if he can not know them, from what principle should he will them?
6047Now, if when she had things to trade with, her dealers left her; how shall she think of a trade, when she has nothing to traffic with?
6047Now, shall a soul where the word and Spirit of Christ dwells, be a soul without good works?
6047Now, when thou hast thought on these things fairly, answer thyself in these few questions: Is not this arrogancy?
6047O that saying of God to them of old,"Why criest thou for thine affliction?
6047O what thunderings and lightnings, what earthquakes and tempests, will there be in every damned soul, at the opening of this book?
6047Observe, I am commanded to believe, but what should I believe?
6047Of that which is sown, or of that which was never sown?
6047Of what use are these expressions, if the soul of Christ suffered not, if it suffered not when separated from the body?
6047One reads, he prays, he catechises too; But doth he nothing else, what doth he do?
6047Or are we only out of that Egyptian darkness, that in baptism have got the start of our brethren?
6047Or are you afraid lest the truth should invade your quarters?''
6047Or art thou like the ostrich whom God hath deprived of wisdom, and has hardened her heart against her young?
6047Or art thou one a going backward thither?
6047Or do they altogether make but one Spirit of Christ?
6047Or do you count all that yourselves have no hand in, done to your disparagement?
6047Or do you look upon Jesus at that time to be but a shadow, or type of some what that was afterwards to be done within?
6047Or dost thou count they were but painted fears Which from thine eyes did squeeze so many tears?
6047Or dost thou sideling go, and would''st not be Suspected?
6047Or dost thou think that God is at play with thee, and that he threateneth but in jest?
6047Or dost thou wink, because thou would''st not see?
6047Or has it the smell or savour of such a thing?
6047Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profaned the sabbath, and are blameless?''
6047Or how sincerely righteous they were whom God justified as ungodly?
6047Or if he ask a fish, will he bestow A serpent?
6047Or if he looks no further than to horses, what will he do at the swellings of Jordan( Jer 12:5)?
6047Or if it came to them only?''
6047Or if they had offered that offering, that was to be burnt as a sin- offering, otherwise than it was commanded?
6047Or makes as if he would not reconcile To thee again?
6047Or must they neglect the weightier matters, because they want mint, and anise, and cummin?
6047Or shall it come to save us?
6047Or the epistle of James?
6047Or was it possible but that after a while these fig- leaves should have become rotten, and turned to dung?
6047Or what falsehood doth it command thee to receive for truth?
6047Or what if a man should act now as a son, rather than simply as a creature endued with a principle of reason?
6047Or what man is there of you, if his son Shall ask him bread, will he give him a stone?
6047Or what shadow now is left in it since its institution as to divine service is taken long since from it?
6047Or what should be the object of my faith in the matter of my justification with God?
6047Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
6047Or whether such think that Christ Jesus was subject to be tainted by the badness of the place, had he been there?
6047Or whether that day, as a sabbath, was afterwards by the apostles imposed upon the churches of the Gentiles?
6047Or whether, when the scripture says, God is in hell, it is any disparagement to him?
6047Or who can save alive, when the maker of the world is set against them?
6047Or why must the old sabbath be joined to this new ministration?
6047Or"Shall any teach God knowledge?"
6047Or, How could God in justice give it to a person, that by the law stood condemned, before they were quitted from that condemnation?
6047Or, are these such as may better be broken, than for want of light to forbear baptism with water?
6047Or, are you become so high in your own phantasies, that none have, or are to have but private means of grace?
6047Or, as another prophet has it,"Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage?
6047Or, how can that man say, I would glorify God, who in his very heart refuseth to stand and fall by his mercy?
6047Or, is this the way that thou takest to mortify sin?
6047Or, must their graces be increased by none but private means?
6047Or, must we now be afraid to say that Christ is better than water baptism?
6047Or, ought none but them that are baptized to have the public means of grace?
6047Or, whether every saint in some sort, hath not the keys of the kingdom of heaven, which are the Scriptures and their power?
6047Our author, perhaps, will say, I have not spoken to his question; which was,"Whether women, fearing God, may meet to pray together?
6047Pilate''s question,"What is truth?"
6047Poor wretch, quoth the Pharisee to the Publican, What comest thou for?
6047Pray then, and watch, be thou no drowsy sleeper, Grudge, nor refuse, to be thy brother''s keeper, Seest thou thy brother''s graces at an ebb?
6047Presently with envy they are enraged and cry,"Dost thou not know that every man hath a measure of the spirit given to him?
6047Prithee let me know Thy state?
6047Proof.--"Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended?
6047Q. Hath he indeed made amends for sin?
6047Quest.--But how( may some say) doth the devil make his delusions take place in the hearts of poor creatures?
6047Quest.--But you will say, doth not the scripture make mention of a Christ within?
6047Reader, can you solve Mr. Bunyan''s riddle?
6047Reader, in the sight of god, let the heart- searching inquiry of the apostle''s be yours; Lord, is it I?
6047Rejoicing in spirit for the hope of the life to come by Christ, who will that harm?
6047Return again, my daughters, go your way, For I''m too old to marry: should I say I''ve hope?
6047SECONDLY, What death they must die?
6047Samson withstood his Delilah for a while, but she got the mastery of him at the last; why so?
6047Say I this of myself?
6047Says Satan, dost thou not know that thou hast horribly sinned?
6047Says Satan, dost thou not know, that thou art one of the vilest in all the pack of professors?
6047Says Satan, doth not thy conscience tell thee that thou art and hast been more base than any of thy fellows can imagine thee to be?
6047Second, But you will say, is there a man made mention of here?
6047Second, The second thing is, who are they that are carried away with this delusion, and why?
6047Secondly, In the time of Elias, which time also was typical of this, what church was there to be seen in Israel?
6047Secondly, Is Antichrist to be destroyed, and must she have an end?
6047Secondly, by whom, and to what, he that is weak in the faith is to be received?
6047Seth then was no better than we by nature, but came into the world in the blood of his mother''s filth:"What is man, that he should be clean?
6047Seth, saith the Spirit, was set in the stead of Abel, there as forlorn, to defend religion: Must he not now be swallowed up?
6047Seventhly, Must Antichrist be destroyed?
6047Shall God display his glory before us under the character and title of a Creator, and shall we yet fear man?
6047Shall God love me a sinner?
6047Shall God love, shall he keep his faith to me?
6047Shall God the only wise, be arraigned at the bar of thy blind reason, and there be judged and condemned for his acts done in eternity?
6047Shall another man pray for this, one that knew the goodness and benefit of it, and shall not I meditate upon it?
6047Shall pride be found among redeemed slaves?
6047Shall saints, then, like slaves, be afraid of their God, the Creator; of their own God, when he rendeth the heavens, and comes down?
6047Shall the beast stand glorying over them while they are dead, with his feet in their neck?
6047Shall the devil''s kingdom be united, and shall Christ''s be divided?
6047Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?''
6047Shall this be the burden of the song of heaven?
6047Shall we deserve correction?
6047Shalt thou indeed abide the melting and washing of this day?
6047Should I this night conceive a son?
6047Should one say to some, Art not thou the man that I once saw crying under a sermon, that I once, heard cry out, What must I do to be saved?
6047Sixthly, Is Antichrist to be destroyed?
6047So that the question is not, Do I find that I am righteous?
6047So then, Doth the law call for righteousness?
6047So, then, what is the axe, that it should boast itself against him that heweth therewith?
6047Some of the things of God that are excellent, have not been approved by some of the saints: What then?
6047Studies that yield far less profit than this, how close are they pursued, by some who have adapted themselves thereunto?
6047Such as are self- evident or evident of themselves; to what?
6047Suppose all, if all these churches were baptized, what then?
6047Suppose he shall against thee shut the door, Knock thou the louder, and cry out the more; What if he makes thee there to stand a while?
6047Tell me, I say, by this text, whether is here intended the sins of all that shall be saved?
6047That it cleaves to the best, who knows not?
6047That it is disgraceful to profession, who knows not?
6047That of David is for this remarkable,"Who am I,[ said he] and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort?
6047That they should lie and rot in their grave eternally?
6047That they would put off the old man; what is that?
6047That this must be so urged for their excuse: Hath God been more sparing in making out his mind in the one, rather than the other?
6047That which we read is this;''Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?''
6047That, because these several things will convince of sin, therefore will they needs be the Spirit of Christ?
6047The Godhead is indeed invisible; how then is Christ the image of it?
6047The Pharisees, for that they professed religion, but walked not answerable thereto, unto what doth Christ compare them but to serpents and vipers?
6047The Ranters would profess that they were without sin: and how far short of his opinion are the Quakers?
6047The answer to the inquiry,"What is man?"
6047The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
6047The forgiveness of sins: But what is meant by forgiveness?
6047The guilt of blood who can bear?
6047The inquiry is pursued a step farther,"Can those who differ with me be saved?"
6047The inquiry was then, as, alas, it is too frequent now, Are there many that be saved?
6047The law is not of faith, why then should grace be by Christians expected by observation of the law?
6047The law of Christ is,"Is any sick among you?
6047The man also at the touching of the bones of Elisha?
6047The promise is, that Babylon shall be destroyed: And do we hold our tongues?
6047The question is, Do not the scriptures make mention of a Christ within?
6047The question then is, whether the elect and reprobate receive a differing grace?
6047The second part of the inquiry is, to what he that is weak in the faith is to be received?
6047The smith, what is he?
6047The subject I should have preached upon, even then when the constable came, was,''Dost thou believe on the Son of God?''
6047The tail, says the Holy Ghost, draws them down; draws down even the stars of heaven; but whither doth he draw them?
6047The thing formed may not say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
6047The united are all the faithful in one body; into whom?
6047The waster, what is that?
6047Their minds were blinded, saith the text: Whose minds?
6047Then I asked him which was his first coming?
6047Then Israel said, Why were you so unkind To say you had a brother left behind?
6047Then Naomi said, Shall I not, my daughter, Seek rest for thee, that thou do well hereafter?
6047Then he inquired if they all were well, And said, When you were here I heard you tell Of an old man, your father, how does he?
6047Then said she, How canst thou pretend to love me, When thus thy doing towards me disprove thee?
6047Then said the men of Judah, for what reason Are you come up against us at this season?
6047Then said they, We entreat thee let us know, For whose cause we this evil undergo, Whence comest thou?
6047Then said they, What''s thy riddle, let us know?
6047Then unto her, her mother- in- law did say, In what field hast thou been to glean to- day?
6047Then were the men exceedingly afraid; And, wherefore hast thou done this thing?
6047Then what doth this speak to the Lord''s own people?
6047Then what mean they, who were to appearance once come out, but now are going thither again?
6047Then what will become of all the profane, ignorant, scoffers, self- righteous, proud, bastard- professors in the world?
6047Then what will become of all those that creep into the society of God''s people without a wedding garment on?
6047Then what will become of all those that mock at the second coming of the Man Christ, as do the Ranters, Quakers, drunkards, and the like?
6047Then will not you yourself confess, that he is deluded, that is persuaded to follow that light that can not reveal Christ unto him?
6047There is but one law- giver, That''s able to destroy and to deliver; Who then art thou that dost condemn thy neighbour?
6047Therefor, speak plainly; Dost thou believe that that man Christ Jesus is ascended from his people in his person?
6047Therefore is that in the Psalms read both ways, shall I look to the mountains?
6047Therefore to answer this, here we have a breadth, a spreading breadth;"I spread my skirt over thee": But how far?
6047Therefore try a little, Do they slight God''s Christ, which is the Son of the Virgin?
6047They are indeed reprobates who have not Christ within them; but now, how is thy folly manifest?
6047They are the salt of the earth, shall not they be seasoning?
6047They spake not aright, saying, what have I done?
6047They:--Who?
6047Thinkest thou not, who readest these lines, that all of these who had before committed their soul to God to keep were the fittest folk to die?
6047Thinkest thou this to be right?
6047Thinkest thou, reader, that the scripture hath two faces, and speaketh with two mouths?
6047Third, But wilt thou yet plead thy righteousness for mercy?
6047Thirdly, Is Antichrist to be destroyed?
6047Thirdly, What was the dry bones that we read of in the 37th of Ezekiel, but the church of God, and also a figure of what we are treating of?
6047This doctrine Christ teacheth when he saith,"Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
6047This is but a falsehood and a slander, for the unregenerate know him not; how then can they believe on him?
6047This question, I briefly ask thee,"Had Christ a body of flesh before the world began?"
6047This righteousness of God- man, this righteousness of Christ?
6047This word created, is added, on purpose to show that the world is under the power of his hand; for who can destroy, but he that can create?
6047This; Which?
6047Thou standest to thy righteousness, what dost thou mean?
6047Thou thinkest that thou art a Christian; thou shouldest be sorry else: Well, But when did God shew thee that thou wert no Christian?
6047Though such should climb up to heaven, from thence will God bring them down( Amos 9:2), Still I say, therefore, how shall we get in thither?
6047Thus much have I thought good to speak in answer to this question, What iniquity should we depart from that religiously name the name of Christ?
6047Thy answer is nothing to the question, for I did not ask, whether the Spirit of Christ was in thee?
6047Thy first question should be on whom must I believe?
6047To be thrown o''er the pales, and there to lie, Or be pick''d up by th''next that passeth by?
6047To instance no more, although I could instance many, are not they the words of our Lord?
6047To instance somewhat, Faith in Christ: what harm can that do?
6047To the Romans,''I beseech you therefore,''saith he,''by the mercies of God,( What mercies?
6047To this end, I say, how was the Shunammite''s son raised from the dead?
6047To what end should such be comprehended in this of exhortation of his?
6047To what end?
6047To what purpose else is it revealed, made mention of, and commended to us?
6047To whom they said, Why hath my lord such thought?
6047Touching his working with some, how invisible is it to these in whose souls it is yet begun?
6047Touching the book of my remembrance, who can contradict it?
6047Understand,[ O] ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
6047Understandest thou what thou readest?
6047Upon the first day: what, or which first day of this, or that, of the third or fourth week of the month?
6047Upon whom must these reproaches fall?
6047Use Second, Is it so?
6047Use Second, Is there so great a heart for love, towards us, both in the Father and in the Son?
6047Was it before or after thou hadst been a sinner?
6047Was it better than God?
6047Was it not because they had that richer and better thing,''the Lord Jesus Christ?''
6047Was it not the art of the false apostles of old to say thus?
6047Was it utter nakedness, nakedness in its perfection?
6047Was not I in all places to behold, to see, and to observe thee in all thy ways?
6047Was not every tittle of the law reasonable, both in the first and second table?
6047Was not he a liar?
6047Was that a New Testament church, or no?
6047Was the Lord displeased against the rivers?
6047Was the serpent then lifted up for them that were good and godly?
6047Was there no more, think you, but Noah, in his generation, that feared God?
6047Was you awake now?
6047Wast thou not innocent, perfectly innocent and righteous?
6047Wast thou one of them, that didst sigh, and afflict thyself for the abominations of the times?
6047We are by faith made good trees, and shall not we bring forth good fruit?
6047We know God, and he is our God, our own God; of whom or of what should we be afraid?
6047We may well say,"Who is like thee, O Lord, among the gods?"
6047We plead not for indulging,''But are there not with you, even with you, sins against the Lord your God?''
6047Well, but if this in truth be thus, how then comes it to pass that some receive it and live for ever?
6047Well, but is there no way to come to the Father of mercies but by this man that was born of the virgin?
6047Well, but is thy work required to the finishing of this righteousness?
6047Well, but let me ask you one word farther: Do you believe, that of very conscience they can not consent, as you, to that of water baptism?
6047Well, but what of all this?
6047Well, then, tell me, sinner, if Christ should now come to judge the world, canst thou abide the trial of the book of life?
6047Were ever the Pharisees so profane; to whom Christ said, ye vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell; doth not the ground groan under you?
6047Were there no enemies but in Jerusalem?
6047Were there no good men but at Jerusalem?
6047What Christian must I be; of what sect must I be of?
6047What a many private things have we now brought out to public view?
6047What acts of self- denial, hast thou done for the name of the Lord Jesus, among the sons of men?
6047What agreement then hath the temple of God with idols?
6047What are they?
6047What argument can any man produce, Why we should be intemperate in the use Of any worldly good?
6047What back will such a suit of apparel fit, that is set together just cross and thwart to what it should be?
6047What became of him that had, and would have, two stools to sit on?
6047What can a divided army do, or a disordered army, that have lost their banners, or, for fear or shame, thrown them away?
6047What can be added?
6047What can be fitter spoken?
6047What can be more plain?
6047What can be more plain?
6047What can be more plain?
6047What can be more suitable to the most desponding spirit in any man?
6047What can we hold?
6047What can we keep from flying From us?
6047What care have they taken that thou mightest have wherewith to live and do well when they were dead and gone?
6047What could the king of Babylon''s golden image have done, had it not been for the burning fiery furnace that stood within view of the worshippers?
6047What countryman art thou?
6047What designs, desires, and reachings out are there?
6047What did baptism teach you?
6047What doctrine did it preach to you?
6047What does he call them but hypocrites, whited walls, painted sepulchres, fools, and blind?
6047What dost thou think?
6047What doth he there?
6047What else dost thou mean, when thou sayest,"God I thank thee, that I am not as other men are?"
6047What else is the use of thy adding of laws to God''s laws, precepts to God''s precepts, and traditions to God''s appointments?
6047What else means the complaints of masters and of fathers in this matter?
6047What follows?
6047What fool would sell his part in paradise, That has a soul, and that of such a price?
6047What greater contempt can be thrown upon the saints than for their brethren to cast them off, or to debar them church communion?
6047What has he done?
6047What has he done?
6047What hast thou done, man, for God in this world?
6047What hast thou done, that thou art emboldened to venture, to stand and fall to the most perfect justice of God?
6047What hast thou done?
6047What hinders the conversion of the Jews, but the divisions of Christians?
6047What hope, help, stay, or relief then is there left for the merit- monger?
6047What if I did?
6047What if we must go now to heaven, and what if he is thus come down to fetch us to himself?
6047What ignorance is this?
6047What infirmities?
6047What is Christ''s doctrine, Paul''s doctrine, scripture doctrine, but the truth couched under the words that are spoken?
6047What is God''s majesty to a sinful man, but a consuming fire?
6047What is a woman''s breast to a horse?
6047What is baptism?
6047What is here in chief asserted, but the doctrine only which water baptism preacheth?
6047What is his name, and what is his son''s name, if thou canst tell?"
6047What is it that embitters church- communion, and makes it burdensome, but divisions?
6047What is it then?
6047What is it then?
6047What is it then?
6047What is it?
6047What is it?
6047What is that?
6047What is that?

6047[ 21]If it be asked, Why take your unregenerate children, and invite the ungodly, to the place of worship?
6047[ 2] And why is MY rank so mean, that the most gracious and godly among you, may not duly and soberly consider of what I have said?
6047[ 2]( Psa 8:3,4) Now in the creation of the world we may consider several things; as, What was the order of God in this work?
6047[ 35]This should prompt every professing Christian to self- examination-- Am I of the raven class, or that of the dove?
6047[ I reply] If thou hadst said, I worship her Son, thou hadst said truly( I hope) But is not thy spite more against her son, than her?
6047[ that is, to bring Christ down from above:] or, Who shall descend into the deep?
6047and again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6047and are not men the more noble part in all the churches of Christ?
6047and behold the height of the stars, how high they are?"
6047and darkness and tempests?
6047and do you question the resurrection of the body?
6047and doth God testify that thy desire is true, not feigned?
6047and hast not thou been led by a lying spirit also, in wresting of my words as thou hast done?
6047and have you consented to stand by their opinion?
6047and he that is called to glory and virtue, shall not he add to his faith virtue?
6047and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?"

6047and how we may be more holy and more humble towards God, and more charitable and more serviceable to one another?
6047and if I be a Master, where is my fear?
6047and is goodness seen in thy seeking the life or the damage of thy enemy?
6047and is not the light of God sufficient in itself, to lead to God all that follow it, yea, or nay?"
6047and is not this thus much, are not all they reprobates( say you) but they in whim Christ is within?
6047and is there not like reason for it?
6047and of choosing what you judge is right, whether they conclude with you or no?
6047and says another, Would you have us make ourselves ridiculous?
6047and shall I Not love a saint?
6047and shall I hate his child, nor hear his wants that call For my little assisting of him?
6047and shall none be angry at it?
6047and shall not I exercise my mind about it?
6047and should a man full of talk be justified?
6047and that Christ hath marked and recorded for such an one?
6047and that also against which the spirit lusteth?
6047and that, AFTER the angel had fled through the midst of heaven, preaching the gospel to those that dwell on the earth?
6047and therefore that it ought to be departed from, who knows not?
6047and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?"
6047and unquiet and troublesome, discontented, and seeking to be revenged of thy persecutors; where is, or what kind of grace hast thou got?
6047and until you could by faith own it as done for you, and counted yours by reputation, yea, or no?
6047and what communion hath light with darkness?
6047and what must they do that have none?"
6047and when did I do the other?
6047and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee an answer[ unashamed?]''
6047and where will they be safe in such days?

6047and will he not be as good to us as to them that have gone before us?
6047and with what body do they come?"
6047and yet doth it yield no good unto us?
6047and, that some time ago I heard speak well of the holy word of God?
6047are not the poor saints now in this city?
6047are not they concerned in these instructions?

6047besides there is hell itself, the place itself, the fire itself, the nature of the torments, and the durableness of them, who can understand?
6047but may it not be as strongly supposed that the presence and blessing of the Lord Jesus, with his ministers, is laid upon the same ground also?
6047but what was that gospel you preached?
6047but why did you not shew me my evil in thus calling it, when opposed to the substance, and the thing signified?
6047but why didst thou not confess what thou hadst done then?

6047do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?''
6047dost thou say that that which thou callest the light of Christ, is the Spirit of Christ?
6047doth this yield thee inward pleasedness of mind, and a kind of secret sweetness, or bow?
6047for it is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
6047for legal grounds, though not expressed?
6047having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?''
6047he that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct?

604617 Seventy times seven times a day we sometimes sin against our brother; but how many times, in that day, do we sin against God?
60462. Who may have it?
60462. Who may have this life?
604620 We will, therefore, state it again-- Are men saved by grace?

604625 What can I render unto thee, my God, for such unspeakable blessedness?

6046A sick body is a burden to the soul, and a wounded spirit is a burden to the body;''a wounded spirit who can bear?''
6046Afraid of what?
6046After I had been thus for some considerable time, another thought came into my mind; and that was, whether we were of the Israelites, or no?
6046After this, that other doubt did come with strength upon me, But how if the day of grace should be past and gone?
6046Again I ask, Hast thou considered what truth, as to matter of fact, there is in the things whereof thou standest accused?
6046Again, Is it so, that no man comes to Jesus Christ by the will, wisdom, and power of man, but by the gift, promise, and drawing of the Father?
6046Again, are the people of God to behave themselves to the glory of God the Father?
6046Again, how did Satan ply it against Peter, when he desired to have him, that he might sift him as wheat?
6046Again, if Christ be the altar of incense, how stands he as a priest by that altar to offer the prayers of all the saints thereon, before the throne?
6046Again, suppose the father should scourge and chasten the son for such offence, is the relation between them therefore dissolved?
6046Again, what a continuation of this alarm was there also at the birth of Jesus, which was about three months after John Baptist was born?
6046Again, would the people learn to be covetous?
6046Again,"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
6046Again; Hast thou found a failure in all others that might have been entertained to plead thy cause?
6046Again; when Esau threatened to slay his brother, Rebecca sent him away, saying,"Why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?"
6046Again; why not live upon Christ alway?
6046Alas, but how shall I come?
6046All covetousness is idolatry; but what is that, or what will you call it, when men are religious for filthy lucre''s sake?
6046All this is made to appear by the angels that fell; for when fallen, what was heaven to them?
6046Also before his friends, how bold was he?
6046Also to Simon Magus for but undervaluing of it?

6046Also, when Job had God present with him, making manifest the goodness of his great heart to him, what doth he say?
6046Am I coming, indeed, to Jesus Christ?
6046Am I in a case to be thus near mine end?
6046Am I one of the elect?
6046And I ask, Why doth the wife-- that is, as the loving hind-- love to be in the presence of her husband?
6046And Paul, when he said, he could wish that himself were accursed from Christ, for the vehement desire that he had that the Jews might be saved?
6046And again,"Beware of men,"& c. when I had answered him, that blessed be God I was well, he said, What is the occasion of your being here?
6046And again,"If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
6046And again,''My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God, when shall I come and appear before God?''
6046And are they willing, God helping them, to run hazards for his name, for the love they bear to him?
6046And are we not in him, in him, even as so considered?
6046And before I go further, what might I yet say to fasten this reason upon the truly gracious soul?
6046And by what is this righteousness by thee applied to thyself?
6046And can a holy and just God require that we give thanks to him in his name, if it was not effectually done for us by him?
6046And can death, or sin, or the grave hold us, when God saith,''Give up?''
6046And can it be imagined that Christ alone shall be like the foolish ostrich, hardened against his young, yea, against his members?
6046And did he license any one, and if so, who, to alter, add to, or diminish from it?
6046And dost thou indeed say,"Hallowed be thy name"with thy heart?
6046And dost thou not do the deeds of the flesh?
6046And doth God come to the sinner, and the sinner again go to God in a saving way by him, and by him only?
6046And doth all this stir up in thy heart some breathing after Him?
6046And doth it not also make thee more earnestly to groan after the Lord Jesus?
6046And doth this demonstrate the reformation of your church?
6046And for the opening of this we must consider, first, How and through Whom this grace doth come to be, first, free to us, and, secondly, unchangeable?
6046And from the sense and feeling of torment, he would give, yea, what would he not give, in exchange for his soul?
6046And further, said he, can not one man teach another to pray?
6046And good reason; for since they would not with us come to him now they have time, why should they stand with us when judgment is come?
6046And have these desires put thy soul to the flight?
6046And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman?
6046And here those sayings are of their own natural force:''How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation?''
6046And how can that be, if he saveth not to the uttermost them that come unto God by him?
6046And how if I should not?
6046And how is this resented by them?
6046And how little conscience is there made of prayer between God and the soul in secret, unless the Spirit of supplication be there to help?
6046And how sayest thou now?
6046And how sayest thou, for to name no more, dost thou with thy affection and conscience thus question?
6046And how sayest thou?
6046And how then?
6046And how, then, can he come to him by Christ?
6046And if God''s will should be done on earth as it is in heaven, must it not be thy ruin?
6046And if Satan meets thee, and asketh, Whither goest thou?
6046And if he breaks up one of these bags, who can tell what he can do?
6046And if he goes about to do this, is not the law of the land against him?
6046And if he hath said it, will he not make it good, I mean even thy salvation?
6046And if he knows not the Father and the Son, how can he come?
6046And if he saith, See, ye"blind that have eyes,"who shall hinder it?
6046And if it be a blessing to have this fear, is it not wisdom to increase in it?
6046And if it be asked, But what will become of the threatening wherewith he threatened the offender?
6046And if so, did he give His church any other than that most beautiful and comprehensive form called the Lord''s Prayer?
6046And if so, how can their service to God have anything like acceptation from the hand of God, that is done, not in, but without the fear of God?
6046And if so, what shall we then think of the soul for which is prepared, and that of God, the most rich and excellent vessel in the world?
6046And if there is so much in the pride of his countenance, what is there, think you, in the pride of his heart?
6046And if these be acts that speak a condescension, what will you count of Christ''s standing up as an Advocate to plead the cause of his people?
6046And if this gentle check will not do, then read the other, Shall we say, Let us do evil that good may come?
6046And indeed what joy or what rejoicing is like rejoicing here?
6046And indeed, take this away, and what ground can there be laid for any man to persevere in good works?
6046And indeed, the soul that doth thus by practice, though with his mouth-- as who doth not?
6046And is it thus with thy soul indeed?
6046And is not this a needy time; doth not such an one want abundance of grace?
6046And is not this love worthy of all acceptation at the hands and hearts of all coming sinners?
6046And is not this the very ground of thy hoping that God will save thee from the wrath to come?
6046And is there no other way to the Father but by his blood, and through the veil, that is to say, his flesh?
6046And is there not a great deal in it?
6046And is there not all the reason in the world for this?
6046And is this all?
6046And let me ask further, is not he a madman who, being loaded with combustible matter, will run headlong into the fire upon a bravado?
6046And must you needs be upon the extremes?
6046And now what would a man give in exchange for his soul?
6046And now, Adam, what do you mean to do?
6046And now, what can this accuser say?
6046And now, when body and soul are thus united, who can imagine what glory they both possess?
6046And now,''what shall a man,''what would a man, but what can a man that has lost his soul, himself, and his all,''give in exchange for his soul?''
6046And said, moreover, that they could not wait upon me any longer; but said to me, Then you confess the indictment, do you not?
6046And since he can be both merciful and just in the salvation of sinners, why may he not also save them from death and hell?
6046And so I may say, What think you of ten thousand more besides?
6046And so doing, has it not also accommodated thee with all the aforenamed conveniences?
6046And so with Paul, who tremblingly said,''Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?''
6046And the ministers of the gospel they also cry, Lord,"who hath believed our report?
6046And the reason is, because he that envieth a sinner, hath forgotten himself, that he is as bad; and how can he then fear God?
6046And the reasons are weighty, for by them he proves the tree is not good; how then can it yield good fruit?
6046And the same I say of his Advocate''s office- What is an advocate without the exercise of his office?
6046And then, to engage us in our soul to the duty, he adds one of his wonderful mercies to the world, for a motive,"Fear ye not me?"
6046And this leads me first to inquire into what, by these words the apostle must, of necessity, presuppose?
6046And thou liar, what wilt thou do?
6046And to put a question upon thy objection- What is a sacrifice without a priest, and what is a priest without a sacrifice?
6046And what angels but those that ministered to him here in the day of his humiliation?
6046And what can Satan say against this plea?
6046And what chains are so heavy as those that discourage thee?
6046And what did you reply?
6046And what did you reply?
6046And what did you reply?
6046And what else?
6046And what follows?
6046And what follows?
6046And what honour like that of being a holy man of God?
6046And what if God will cross his book, and blot out the handwriting that is against thee, and not let thee know it as yet?
6046And what if thou waitest upon God all thy days?
6046And what if you should not?
6046And what is this second veil, in, at, or through which, as the phrase is, we must, by blood, enter into the holiest?
6046And what life, but death in its perfection?
6046And what matter can be found in the soul for humility to work by so well, as by a sight that I have been and am an abominable sinner?
6046And what more fearful than the bottomless pit of hell?
6046And what need of an Advocate''s office to be exercised, if Christ, as sacrifice and Priest, was thought sufficient by God?
6046And what saith the words before the text but the same--''For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?''
6046And what shall this man do?
6046And what should a man come to God for, that can live in the world without him?
6046And what sympathy and feeling would his arguments flow from?
6046And what then?
6046And what then?
6046And what then?
6046And what then?
6046And what then?
6046And what then?
6046And what then?
6046And what then?
6046And what thunder did Zaccheus hear or see?
6046And what use doth he make of this?
6046And what was that?
6046And what was the conclusion?
6046And what will become of them concerning whom the Lord has said already,''I will not take up their names into my lips''?
6046And what will become of them that trample under foot this Son of God?
6046And what will become of them that trample under foot this Son of God?''
6046And what will not love suffer?
6046And what will you do whose hearts go after your covetousness?
6046And what, did you despair, or how?
6046And what, did you despair, or how?
6046And what, did you despair, or how?
6046And when a Christian comes to know this, should Christ as Advocate be hid, what could bear him up?
6046And when they had found him, they wonderingly asked him,"Rabbi, when camest thou hither?"
6046And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?"
6046And where is the man that chooseth to go to hell?
6046And where it is most, how far short of perfect acts is it?
6046And where wilt thou leave thy glory?
6046And who can be thankful for a mercy that is not sensible that they want it, have it, and have it of mercy?
6046And who can now object against the deliverance of the child of God?
6046And who can think that he should be quiet, when men take the right course to escape his hellish snares?
6046And who dares to limit the Almighty?
6046And who was that but Jesus Christ, even the person speaking in the text?
6046And who was that, but he that"spoiled principalities and powers,"when he did hang upon the tree, triumphing over them thereon?
6046And why a door of hope, but that by it, God''s people, when afflicted, should go out by it from despair by hope?
6046And why doth he not concern himself with them?
6046And why is it thee?
6046And why is the breaking of the heart compared to the breaking of the bones?
6046And why not now, as well as formerly?
6046And why should a man cumber himself with what is his, when the good of all that is in Christ is laid, and to be laid out for him?
6046And why so?
6046And why so?
6046And why then should not we have also in reserve for Christ?
6046And why thus consider, but that a door might be opened for hope to exercise itself upon God by this?
6046And why, to show, by these, the exceeding riches of his grace to the ages to come, through Christ Jesus?
6046And why?
6046And why?
6046And will he be a favourable no more?
6046And will not this, when they know it, yield them comfort?
6046And will their agreement of hell yield them comfort?
6046And will you, says Unbelief, in such a case as you now are, presume to come to Jesus Christ?
6046And wilt thou hang back or be sullen, because thou art none of the first?
6046And wilt thou judge him that doth thus?
6046And wilt thou say these are things that are not?
6046And would I, as was said before, be thoroughly saved, to wit, from the filth as from the guilt?
6046And yet darest thou say to God, Our Father?
6046And yet dost thou out of thy blasphemous throat suffer these words to come, even our Father?
6046And yet who so idle as they in the time of their prosperity?
6046And you that were sometime alienated, and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled[ but how?]
6046And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath He reconciled,"how?
6046And''the thunder of his power who can understand?''
6046And''what and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?''
6046And, Fourth, what it was for him to be raised unto Israel?
6046And, indeed, if people once say to God, by way of doubt,''Wherein hast thou loved us?''
6046And,"O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever?"
6046And,"who shall separate us from the love of Christ"our Lord?
6046Are great saints only to have the kingdom, and the glory everlasting?
6046Are great works only to be rewarded?
6046Are his saints precious to them?
6046Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
6046Are not these therefore strong desires?
6046Are our fruits meet for repentance?
6046Are the narratives of these mighty tempests in his spirit plain matters of fact?
6046Are the words of God called by the name of the fear of the Lord?
6046Are there any sins now that will fly upon this Saviour like so many lions, or raging devils, if He take in hand to redeem man?
6046Are there bowels in you that are wicked, and will they be wrought upon by an importuning beggar?
6046Are these the tokens of a blessed man?"
6046Are they enemies to Thee?
6046Are they lawful things which thou desirest?
6046Are they so dreadful in their receipt and sentence?
6046Are they such things as thou takest pleasure in?
6046Are they tender of sinning against Jesus Christ?
6046Are they that are justified by Christ''s blood such as have need yet to be saved by his intercession?
6046Are they that are saved, saved by grace?
6046Are they that are saved, saved by grace?
6046Are they things Divine, or things natural?
6046Are they things heavenly, or things earthly?
6046Are they things holy, or things unholy?
6046Are those that are already justified by the blood of Christ such as do still stand in need of being saved by his intercession?
6046Are those that are already justified by the blood of Christ yet such as have need of being saved by his intercession?
6046Are those that are already justified by the blood of Christ, such as do still stand in need of being saved by his intercession?
6046Are those that are justified by the blood of Christ such as, after that, have need of being saved by Christ''s intercession?
6046Are those that are justified by the blood of Christ such as, after that, have need to be saved by Christ''s intercession?
6046Are those that are justified by the blood of Christ such, after that, as have need also of saving by Christ''s intercession?
6046Are thy sins so dear, so sweet, so desireable, so profitable to thee, that thou wilt venture a burning in hell fire for them till thou art burnt out?
6046Are we profanely apt to judge of God harshly, as of one that would gather where he had not strawn?
6046Are we tempted to distrust God?
6046Are you stronger than he that made the heavens, and that holdeth angels in everlasting chains?
6046Art not able to conclude, that to be saved is better than to burn in hell?
6046Art not thou a murderer, a thief, a harlot, a witch, a sinner of the greatest size, and dost thou look for mercy now?
6046Art not thou a murderer, a thief, a harlot, a witch, a sinner of the greatest size, and dost thou look for mercy now?
6046Art not thou a murderer, a thief, a harlot, a witch, a sinner of the greatest size, and dost thou look for mercy now?
6046Art thou a fool in thyself?
6046Art thou a sinner of the first rate, of the biggest size?
6046Art thou almost like Elymas the sorcerer, that sought to turn the deputy from the faith?
6046Art thou also willing that he should decide the matter?
6046Art thou begotten of God by his Word?
6046Art thou come to Jesus Christ?
6046Art thou coming to Jesus Christ?
6046Art thou coming, indeed?
6046Art thou coming?
6046Art thou coming?
6046Art thou coming?
6046Art thou crossed, disappointed, and waylaid, and overthrown in all thy foolish ways and doings?
6046Art thou followed with affliction, and dost thou hear God''s angry voice in thy afflictions?
6046Art thou indeed weary of the service of thy old master the devil, sin, and the world?
6046Art thou jogged, and shaken, and molested at the hearing of the Word?
6046Art thou most dejected when thou art at prayer?
6046Art thou not come to discourse the Lord in prayer?
6046Art thou not like to fare well, when thou hast embraced him, coming sinner?
6046Art thou not willing to come faster?
6046Art thou now in the favour of God?
6046Art thou returning to God?
6046Art thou righteous in the judgment of God?
6046Art thou righteous?
6046Art thou righteous?
6046Art thou such an one?
6046Art thou that readest these lines such an one?
6046Art thou then made to see thy condition how bad it is, and that the way out of it is by Jesus Christ?
6046Art thou truly born again?
6046Art thou unrighteous in thyself?
6046Art thou visited in the night seasons with dreams about thy state, and that thou art in danger of being lost?
6046Art thou weary of them?
6046Art thy sins of diverse sorts?
6046As God said to Coniah,''Did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with him?
6046As HE said,''If God be for us, who can be against us?''
6046As the mad prophet also saith of God, in another case,''Hath he said, and shall he not do it?
6046As to the things of God, what shall I say?
6046As who should say, My brethren, are you aware what you do?
6046As who should say, My brethren, are you tempted, are you accused, have you sinned, has Satan prevailed against you?
6046As who should say, What would heaven yield to me for delights, if I was there without my God?
6046As, whether there were in truth a God or Christ, or no?
6046Ask him where this God is?
6046Ask the awakened man, or the man that is under the convictions of the law, if he doth not feel?
6046Ask the carnal man to whom he prays?
6046At another time, I remember I was again much under the question, Whether the blood of Christ was sufficient to save my soul?
6046At last the visitor comes and sets his soul at ease, by persuading of him that he belongs to God: and what then?
6046At which I was as if I had been raised out of a grave, and cried out again, Lord, how couldest thou find out such a word as this?
6046Ay, but says the soul,''How can I reckon thus, when sin is yet strong in me?''
6046Ay, but when?
6046Ay, that is well for you, Paul; but what advantage have we thereby?
6046Aye, but this is a high pitch, how should we come by such princely spirits?
6046Aye, saith he, to whom is that spoken?
6046Aye, wherefore indeed?
6046Because Christ died for me, shall I therefore spit in his face?
6046Beelzebub?
6046Behold, the Lord God will help me; who is he that shall condemn me?
6046Behold, the angels cover their faces when they speak of his glory, how then shall not Satan bend before him?
6046Believe, that is true; but how now must he conceive in his mind of Christ for the encouraging of him so to do?
6046Besides, if men be made righteous, they are so; and if by a righteousness which the law commendeth, how can fault be found with them by the law?
6046Besides, if the promise and God''s grace, without Christ''s blood, would have saved us, wherefore then did Christ die?
6046Besides, to assert the contrary, what doth it but lessen sin, and make the advocateship of Jesus Christ superfluous?
6046Besides, what arguments so prevailing as such as are purely gospel?
6046Besides, who knows of all the ways by which the Almighty will inflict His just revenges upon the souls of damned sinners?
6046Bold sinner, how darest thou tempt God, by laughing at the breach of his holy law?
6046Bunyan, speaking of private prayer, keenly inquires, will God not hear thee"except thou comest before him with some eloquent oration?"
6046But Abraham''s body is now dead?
6046But David answered,"What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries unto me?
6046But I am afraid the day of grace is past; and if it should be so, what should I do then?
6046But I ask such, if the Father and Son be not unspeakably free to show mercy, why was this clause put into our commission to preach the gospel?
6046But I can not pray, says one, therefore how should I persevere?
6046But I say doth not this sufficiently show, had we but eyes to see it, what a sad and deplorable creature the child of God of himself is?
6046But I say, if it be so, what need all this mercy?
6046But I say, what is this to him that would fain be saved by Christ?
6046But I say, why all these, thus named?
6046But Jesus, our Advocate, answers as David, What have I to do with thee, O Satan?
6046But Nathanael answered him,"Whence knowest thou me?"
6046But Paul, what moved thee thus to do?
6046But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour appeared"--what then?
6046But again; what mystery is desirable to be known that is not to be found in Jesus Christ, as Priest, Prophet, or King of saints?
6046But are they the people on whom God doth magnify the riches of his grace?
6046But are you willing, said he, to stand to the judgment of the church?
6046But art thou sure thou canst?
6046But ask him how, or under what notion he is to be considered there?
6046But by what spirit is it then that I am brought again into fears, even into the fears of damnation, and so into bondage?
6046But can any imagine that Christ will pray for them as Priest for whom he will not plead as Advocate?
6046But could he not deliver him, or did the Lord forsake him?
6046But could not we have been saved if Christ had not died?
6046But could that heal it, could he not taste, truly taste, or rightly relish this forgiveness?
6046But did He indeed suffer the torments of Hell?
6046But did he prevail against him?
6046But did you not fear it before?
6046But do these people know what they do?
6046But do they believe that thus it is with them?
6046But do you think that these people did ever feel the power and majesty of the Word of God to break their hearts?
6046But do you think that this outcry was caused by unbelief?
6046But does the carnal world covet this, this spirit, and the blessed graces of it?
6046But doth not the Scripture say,"Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life"?
6046But doth not their thus living, abiding, and retaining a being(or what you will call it), demonstrate the greatness and might of the soul?
6046But doth that promise suppose a willingness in us, as a condition of God''s making us willing?
6046But doth the blind Pharisee think his state is such?
6046But doth the guilt and burden of sin so keep them down that they can by no means lift up themselves?
6046But for all this, how thick, and by heaps, do these wretches walk up and down our streets?
6046But for what purpose?
6046But hath not the law promises as well as threatenings?
6046But have you no other way to discover the things of the Gospel, how they are done with a legal principle, but those you have already made mention of?
6046But have you yet any other considerations to move us to fear God with child- like fear?
6046But how and if I should delight in them before I am aware?
6046But how are they distinguished from the Gentiles?
6046But how came he by that repentance?
6046But how came he to be a"new creature,"since none can create but God?
6046But how came he to be affected with this?
6046But how came he to bring his soul into so good a temper?
6046But how came they clean?
6046But how came they thus patiently to endure?
6046But how came they to hear it?
6046But how came this to be so?
6046But how can that be, did they not come to us through the very sides of mercy?
6046But how can this be done by him?
6046But how can you tell you have faith?
6046But how comes it to pass that thou art so hearty, that thou settest thy face against so much wind and weather?
6046But how could God have respect to Abel, if Abel was not pleasing in his sight?
6046But how could a holy God say,''Live,''to such a sinful people?
6046But how did they tempt him?
6046But how do they deliver them?
6046But how doth God kill with this law, or covenant?
6046But how doth he take that away but by a severe chastising of his soul for it, until he has made him weary of it?
6046But how doth that appear?
6046But how doth the soul carry it towards God, when He offereth to deal with it under and by this dispensation of grace?
6046But how if I should have sinned the sin unpardonable, or that called the sin against the Holy Ghost?
6046But how if we do?
6046But how is the Lord righteous?
6046But how long, prophet, wilt thou wait?
6046But how much more may we behold the love that God hath bestowed upon us, in that he hath given us to his Son, and also given his Son for us?
6046But how must he do that?
6046But how must this be?
6046But how now must this fool be made wise?
6046But how shall I come hither?
6046But how shall they escape all those dangerous and damnable opinions, that, like rocks and quicksands, are in the way in which they are going?
6046But how shall we know that such men are coming to Jesus Christ?
6046But how should I do?
6046But how should I know whether Christ do so knock at my heart as to be desirous to come in?
6046But how should I prove[ or try] the goodness of mine own righteousness by the death and blood of Christ?
6046But how should this rule in our hearts?
6046But how should we find out what sinners shall be saved?
6046But how should we know it, said he?
6046But how should we try our graces now?
6046But how then is what he doth accepted of God?
6046But how was Jesus Christ made of God to be sin for us?
6046But how will he do that?
6046But how, if Sarah be barren?
6046But how, if Sarah be past age?
6046But how, if the day of grace should now be past and gone?
6046But how, if they have exceeded many in sin, and so made themselves far more abominable?
6046But how, if they have not faith and repentance?
6046But how, if they want those things, those graces, power, and heart, without which they can not come?
6046But how, if when I come at him he should ask me, Where I have all this while been?
6046But how, if whilst thou lookest for it to come to thee at one door, it should come to thee in at another?
6046But how?
6046But how?
6046But if God deals thus with a man, how can he otherwise think but that he is a reprobate, a graceless, Christless, and faithless one?
6046But if a false faith is so forcible, what is a true?
6046But if this be the sin unpardonable, why is it called the sin against the Holy Ghost, and not rather the sin against the Son of God?
6046But if thou art not come, what can make thee happy?
6046But if we do not use forms of prayer, how shall we teach our children to pray?
6046But is it possible that He should so soon give infinite justice a satisfaction, a complete satisfaction?
6046But is not Christ the gate or entrance into this heavenly place?
6046But is not the door of mercy shut against some before they die?
6046But is not the reward that God hath promised to his saints, for their good works to be enjoyed only here?
6046But is not this a sign of madness, of madness unto perfection?
6046But is not this great grace, that we should thus be called upon to come to God for mercy?
6046But is not this the way to make Christ to loath us?
6046But is there any comfort in being hanged with company?
6046But it may be asked, When was this done to Christ, or what sacrifice of consecration had he precedent to the offering up of himself for our sins?
6046But may it not come again as a spirit of bondage, to put me into my first fears for my good?
6046But may one not be equally engaged for both?
6046But might not Christ die for our sins but he needs must bear their guilt or burden?
6046But must their obstinacy rule?
6046But never let such a wicked thought pass through thy heart, saying,"This evil is of the Lord; what should I wait for the Lord any longer?"
6046But now how doth God lose it?
6046But now, how shall this man be reclaimed from this sin?
6046But now, wouldst thou honour thy King?
6046But one sin that layeth the soul without the reach of God''s mercy; and must I be guilty of that?
6046But perhaps some may say, What need was there that Jesus Christ should do all this?
6046But said, Hold; not so many, which is the first?
6046But shall Christ take our cause in hand, and shall we doubt of good success?
6046But shall I be daunted at this?
6046But shall Manasseh come off thus?
6046But shall such ever come to glory?
6046But shall the will of heaven stoop to the will of hell?
6046But shall this ever be said of Christ?
6046But should I grant that which is indeed impossible-- namely, that thou art justified by the law; what then?
6046But since I have lusts and desires both ways, how shall I know to which my soul adheres?
6046But since I was sealed to the day of redemption, I have grievously sinned against God, have not I, therefore, cause to fear, as before?
6046But some may say, How will they seek to enter in?
6046But some may say, What is the meaning of this word able?
6046But some may say, Wherein doth the saving grace of the Spirit appear?
6046But some may say, what need of the righteousness of one that is naturally God?
6046But still, I say, the question is, How comest thou to know that thou art righteous in the judgment of God?
6046But suppose that at his return he should find his own cattle in that pound, would he now carry it toward them as he did unto the other?
6046But suppose this great person should second his suit, and send to this sorry creature again, what would she say now?
6046But the most of men do that which you forbid, and why may not we?
6046But the question is now, how we should attain to, and live in, the exercise of this blessed and comely grace?
6046But the third thing touched in the question was this-- What may such an one receive of God who is under the curse of the law?
6046But then I turn the tables, and say, But where shall I be shortly?
6046But then how as a Lamb is he in the midst of the throne?
6046But then, sayest thou, how shall I escape?
6046But then, some will say, since it is so difficult, how may we do without danger?
6046But they are Satan''s captives; he takes them captive at his will, and he is stronger than they: how then can they come?
6046But they are dead, dead in trespasses and sins, how shall they then come?
6046But this is God''s complaint,''Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination?
6046But this, I say, is a very great block in his way when he meddles with the children; God has an interest in them-"Hath God cast away his people?
6046But though I do wait, yet if I be not elected to eternal life, what good will all my waiting do me?
6046But to come to the point: what righteousness hath that man that hath no works?
6046But to come to the question-- What is it to be saved?
6046But to the second thing, which is this, How far may such an one go?
6046But upon what is this princely fearless service of God grounded?
6046But was David, in a strict sense, without fault in all things else?
6046But was ever heard the like to what Jesus Christ has done for sinners?
6046But was not his faith exercised, or tried, about his willingness too?
6046But was there not something of moment in this clause of the commission?
6046But what a shame is this to man, that God should subject all his creatures to him, and he should refuse to stoop his heart to God?
6046But what are all these righteousnesses?
6046But what are they?
6046But what are they?
6046But what are we to understand by faith?
6046But what did he do with our sins, for he had them upon his back?
6046But what did he speak to them?
6046But what do you mean by these words-- the old covenant as the old covenant?
6046But what do you mean by those expressions?
6046But what do you mean, John?
6046But what does he?
6046But what doth he mean by the dross?
6046But what doth she do under all this trial?
6046But what emboldened him thus to do?
6046But what good will their covenant of death then do them?
6046But what ground hast thou for this thy hope?
6046But what had Joshua antecedent to this glorious and heavenly clothing?
6046But what had he spoken?
6046But what has God prepared this vessel for, and what has He put into it?
6046But what if a man in this his progress hath one sinful thought?
6046But what is all this to one that neither sees his sickness, that sees nothing of a wound?
6046But what is all this to you that are not concerned in this privilege?
6046But what is he?
6046But what is it that a heart that is destitute of the fear of God will not do?
6046But what is it that has got thy heart, and that keeps it from thy Saviour?
6046But what is it then to be of these?
6046But what is it to wait upon him according to his counsel?
6046But what is that to them that never saw ought but beauty, and that never tasted anything but sweetness in sin?
6046But what is the answer of Christ?
6046But what is the matter?
6046But what is the reason of that?
6046But what is this iniquity?
6046But what kind of sinners shall then be saved?
6046But what law is that which hath not power to command our obedience in the point of our justification with God?
6046But what men were to ascend with him, but, as was said afore, the men that''came out of the graves after his resurrection?''
6046But what must be done with them?
6046But what necessity is there that the heart must be broken?
6046But what need all these offices of Jesus Christ?
6046But what need these things be asserted, promised, or prayed for?
6046But what needs that, if mercy could save the soul without the redemption that is by him?
6046But what of that, if yet he be unable to fetch us off when charged for sin at the bar, and before the face of a righteous judge?
6046But what promises in the Scripture do you find your hope built upon?
6046But what said the Lord unto him?
6046But what saith the Scripture?
6046But what saith the Scripture?
6046But what saith the Word?
6046But what saith the Word?
6046But what saith the apostle?
6046But what saith the sinful soul to this?
6046But what says the distressed man?
6046But what shall we say, when there must be added to that the heart blood of the Son of God, and all to make our salvation complete?
6046But what should a Christian do, when God has broke his heart, to keep it tender?
6046But what should be the reason of that?
6046But what should be the reason that some that are coming to Christ should be so lamentably cast down and buffeted with temptations?
6046But what should be the reason?
6046But what should he believe?
6046But what should such men do in that kingdom that comes by gift, where grace and mercy reigns?
6046But what then are sinners the better for the death and blood of Christ?
6046But what then do we mean when we say, justification will stand with a state of imperfection?
6046But what then doth he mean by the redemption of this purchased possession?
6046But what then was the altar?
6046But what then?
6046But what was Paul but a broken- hearted and a contrite sinner?
6046But what was Paul?
6046But what was it that made him thus slothful?
6046But what was it that made them join their works of the law with Christ, but their unbelief, whose foundation was ignorance and fear?
6046But what was it that moved so upon his heart, as to cause him to do this thing?
6046But what was it to be lifted up from the earth?
6046But what was it?
6046But what was the affliction?
6046But what was the cause of their making this excuse?
6046But what was the reason thereof, I mean the reason from God?
6046But what was the reason?
6046But what was this to a personal performing the commandments?
6046But what were the things that their eyes had seen, that would so damnify them should they be forgotten?
6046But what will he do with him as he is an Advocate?
6046But what will not love do?
6046But what will you say to a soul in this condition?
6046But what would they do if there were not one always at the right hand of God, by intercession, taking away these kind of iniquities?
6046But what would you have us poor creatures to do that can not tell how to pray?
6046But what, did they now love David?
6046But what, then, are the works of the law?
6046But what?
6046But when I heard it, Lord, thought I, if this be true, what shall I do, and what will become of all this people, yea, and of this preacher too?
6046But when he shall see the thief that was saved on the cross stand by, as clothed with beauteous glory, what further can he be able to object?
6046But when must we conclude we have kept the law?
6046But when, Lord, wilt thou laugh at, and mock at, the impenitent?
6046But when?
6046But whence should the soul thus receive sin?
6046But where do you find that ever the Lord did thus rowl9 in his bowels for and after any self- righteous man?
6046But where doth Jesus Christ, in all the word of the New Testament, expressly speak to a returning backslider with words of grace and peace?
6046But where hadst thou that heart that gives entertainment to these thoughts, these heavenly thoughts?
6046But wherein lieth the depth of this wisdom of God in our salvation, if man''s righteousness can save him?
6046But which is the way to make one that is wild, or a madman, sober?
6046But who are these?
6046But who can tell, though there should not be saved so many as there shall, but thou mayest be one of that few?
6046But who doth he personate if he says, This is a house for the soul; for the body is part of him that says, Our house?
6046But who is this that can do this?
6046But who must look upon it?
6046But who told thee that thy soul was such an excellent thing as by thy practice thou declarest thou believest it to be?
6046But who, when called, was there in the world, in whom grace shone so bright as in him?
6046But why could they not learn that song?
6046But why did Christ offer Himself in sacrifice?
6046But why did God let Him die?
6046But why did He spill His precious blood?
6046But why did He suffer the pains of Hell?
6046But why did he commit his soul to him?
6046But why did he do all this?
6046But why did these do thus?
6046But why do I talk thus?
6046But why do the righteous desire to be with Christ?
6046But why do you wonder at a work of conviction and conversion?
6046But why doth Job after this manner thus speak to God?
6046But why doth the devil do thus?
6046But why go back again, seeing that is the next way to hell?
6046But why is God so delighted in the exercise of this grace of hope?
6046But why is all this?
6046But why is it given to him?
6046But why not attain to a performance?
6046But why not in the name of an angel?
6046But why not possible now to be holden of death?
6046But why so?
6046But why speaks he so particularly?
6046But why speedily?
6046But why was the firstborn of men coupled with unclean beasts, but because they are both unclean?
6046But why wonder, and think they are fools?
6046But why would God so order it, that life should be had nowhere else but in Jesus Christ?
6046But why, then, is His death so slighted by some?
6046But why?
6046But will it not, think you, strangely put to silence all such thoughts, and words, and reasons of the ungodly before the bar of God?
6046But will riches profit in the day of wrath?
6046But will that good meal that I ate last week, enable me, without supply, to do a good day''s work in this?
6046But will the plea do?
6046But will you be willing, said he, that two indifferent persons shall determine the case, and will you stand by their judgment?
6046But with what death?
6046But would God have given the world such an account of his sufferings, that by one offering he did perfect for ever them that are sanctified?
6046But would He have done this for inconsiderable things?
6046But would he believe it?
6046But would they do thus if they knew the severity of the law?
6046But would they have done so, think you, if at the same time the fear of God had had its full play in the soul, in the army?
6046But would you have us sit still and do nothing?
6046But would you not have the people of God stand in fear of his rod, and be afraid of his judgments?
6046But would you not have us mind our worldly concerns?
6046But would you not have us rejoice at the sight and sense of the forgiveness of our sins?
6046But yet all the things of God were kept out of my sight, and still the tempter followed me with, But whither must you go when you die?
6046But you may ask me, What the laver or molten sea should signify to us in the New Testament?
6046But you may say, How shall I know that I fear God?
6046But you may say, What is it to exercise this grace aright?
6046But you will say, How should we try our graces?
6046But you will say,"Then why did God give the law, if we can not have salvation by following of it?"
6046But you will say--"But who are those that are thus under the law?"
6046But''how shall I give thee up, Ephraim?
6046But, Are they within the reach and power of Shall- come?
6046But, Harry, said I, why do you swear and curse thus?
6046But, I say, how can these Scriptures be fulfilled, if he that would indeed be saved, as before said, has sinned the sin unpardonable?
6046But, I say, if he knows him not, how can he propound him as the end?
6046But, I say, if the sight of heaven, at so vast a distance, is so excellent a prospect, what will it look like when one is in it?
6046But, I say, was this fear, that is called now the fear of God, anything else, but a dread of the greatness of power of the king?
6046But, I say, what is all this to them that have him not for their Advocate?
6046But, I say, what is man without this soul, or wherein lieth this pre- eminence over a beast?
6046But, I say, what is the reason some so prize what others so despise, since they both stand in need of the same grace and mercy of God in Christ?
6046But, I say, what is this to them that are not admitted to a privilege in the advocate- office of Christ?
6046But, I say, why offended at this?
6046But, I say, why so unconcerned?
6046But, I say,''Would they not change places?
6046But, Lord, give an instance; when was it, or where?
6046But, Lord, how wilt thou quench their boundless thirst?
6046But, USE FOURTH.--Is it so?
6046But, alas, I am blind, and can not see; what shall I do now?
6046But, alas, I have nothing to carry with me; how then should I go?
6046But, as Paul says of himself, and of those that were saved by grace in his day,"What then?
6046But, brave soul, pray tell me what the things are that discourage thee, and that weaken thy strength in the way?
6046But, but few comparatively will be concerned with this use; for where is he that doth this?
6046But, do the broken in spirit believe this?
6046But, said he, how shall we know that you have received a gift?
6046But, said he, what if you should forbear awhile, and sit still, till you see further how things will go?
6046But, said he, who shall be judge between you, for you take the Scriptures one way, and they another?
6046But, saith Justice Keelin, who was the judge in that court?
6046But, saith the Christian, I am dull and stupid that way, will not Christ be shuff13 and shy with me because of this?
6046But, saith the soul, how, if after I have received a pardon, I should commit treason again?
6046But, says Justice Keelin, what have you against the Common Prayer Book?
6046But, says Moses,"Who is a God like unto thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?"
6046But, you will say, can a man use Gospel ordinances with a legal spirit?
6046But, you will say, it is like, How should this be made manifest and appear?
6046By way of question; what are the things thou desirest, are they lawful or unlawful?
6046By what law?
6046By what will?
6046By whom or by what is this fear wrought in the heart?
6046Called Christian, how many times have thy sins laid thee upon a sick- bed, and, to thine and others''thinking, at the very mouth of the grave?
6046Can a holy, a just, and a righteous God, once think( with honour to his name) of saving such a vile creature as I am?
6046Can a man at the same time be a proud man, and fear God too?
6046Can he contradict our Advocate?
6046Can he excuse himself?
6046Can he overstand the charge, the accusation, the sentence, and condemnation?
6046Can he prove that Christ has no interest in the saints''inheritance?
6046Can he prove that we are at age, or that our several parts of the heavenly house are already delivered into our own power?
6046Can he speak for himself?
6046Can it be a privilege for me to be annoyed with my infirmities, and to have my best duties infected with it?
6046Can it be imagined, sin being what it is, and God what he is-- to wit, a revenger of disobedience-- but that one time or other man must smart for sin?
6046Can it me a mercy for me to be troubled with my corruptions?
6046Can none of these severally, nor all of them jointly, save a man from hell, unless Christ also become our Advocate?
6046Can not a man be saved unless his heart be broken?
6046Can not all the angels do it?
6046Can not an angel do it?
6046Can not he transform himself thus into an angel of light?
6046Can not his eyes, which are as a flame of fire, see in my words, thoughts, and actions enough to make me culpable of the wrath of God?
6046Can not man by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him?
6046Can not one sinner save another?
6046Can not you submit, and, notwithstanding, do as much good as you can, in a neighbourly way, without having such meetings?
6046Can such a one as I am, live in glory?
6046Can the body hear?
6046Can the body see?
6046Can the thistle produce grapes, or the noxious weeds corn?
6046Can the waters quench it?
6046Can there be a miss of the loss of such an one?
6046Can there be any greater comfort ministered to thee than to know thy person stands just before God?
6046Can there be hope for me?''
6046Can these fear God?
6046Can they do that at all times which they can do at some times?
6046Can they pray, believe, love, fear, repent, and bow before God always alike?
6046Can we, by a new birth, say"Our Father?"
6046Can you give me further reason yet to convict me of the truth of what you say?
6046Can you grapple with the judgment of God?
6046Can you not be content to be damned for your sins against the law, but you must sin against the Holy Ghost?
6046Can you say you desire, when you pray?
6046Can you wrestle with the Almighty?
6046Canst thou answer it, sinner?
6046Canst thou be content to be put off with a belly well filled, and a back well clothed?
6046Canst thou defend thyself?
6046Canst thou drink hell- fire?
6046Canst thou hear of Christ, His bloody sweat and death, and not be taken with it, and not be grieved for it, and also converted by it?
6046Canst thou hear that the load of thy sins did break the very heart of Christ, and spill His precious blood?
6046Canst thou hear this, and not be concerned?
6046Canst thou hear this, and not have thy ears to tingle and burn on thy head?
6046Canst thou imagine thou shalt at the day of account out- face God, or make him believe thou wast what thou wast not?
6046Canst thou in faith say, Father, Father, to God?
6046Canst thou indeed, with the rest of the saints, cry, Our Father?
6046Canst thou not so much as once soberly think of thy dying hour, or of whither thy sinful life will drive thee then?
6046Canst thou now that readest or hearest these lines turn thy back, and go on in your sins?
6046Canst thou produce the birthright?
6046Canst thou read this, and not feel thy conscience begin to throb and dag?
6046Canst thou say unto him as David,"Judge me, O God, and plead my cause"( Psa 43:1)?
6046Canst thou see thy misery?
6046Canst thou set so light of Heaven, of God, of Christ, and the salvation of thy poor, yet precious soul?
6046Carest thou not for this?
6046Carry the solemn inquiry to the throne of grace, Have I passed from death unto life?
6046Change!--with whom?
6046Charles II, hearing of it, asked the learned D.D.,''How a man of his great erudition could sit to hear a tinker preach?''
6046Chris.--What good motions?
6046Christ made himself known to his disciples in breaking of bread; who would not, then, that loves to know him, be present at such an ordinance?
6046Christ made himself known to them in breaking of bread; who, who would not then, that loves to know him, be present at such an ordinance?
6046Christian man, dost thou hear?
6046Christian, are you actively engaged in fulfilling the duties of your course?
6046Come, sinner, let us apply it: How long is it since thou began to fear that Jesus Christ will not receive thee?
6046Coming sinner, take notice of this; we use to plead practices with men, and why not with God likewise?
6046Coming sinner, what thinkest thou?
6046Consdier man what I have said, And judge of things aright; When all men''s cards are fully played, Whose will abide the light?
6046Consider, I say, has he made a hedge and a wall to stop thee?
6046Consider, thou sayest, all my strength is gone, and therefore how should I wait?
6046Consider, was it man that had offended?
6046Could He not have suffered without His so suffering?
6046Could he not, think you, have stooped from the cross to the ground, and have laid hold on some honester man, if he would?
6046Could not the grace of the Father save us without this condescension of the Son?
6046Couldst thou invent a more full, free, or larger promise?
6046Cry, if thou wilt, O, when wilt thou come unto me?
6046Deny this, and it follows that God accepteth men without respect to righteousness; and then what follows that, but that Christ is dead in vain?
6046Devote myself to it, you will say, how is that?
6046Did Gideon, think you, believe that he was so strong in grace as he was?
6046Did God send his Holy Spirit into the hearts of his people, to that end that you should taunt at it?
6046Did He bleed for sin?
6046Did I say that hearty, fervent, and constant prayer flowed from this fear of God?
6046Did I say, personal virtues?
6046Did he not, even when he desired life, yet break with God in the day when conditions of life were propounded to him?
6046Did not Aaron fall; yea, and Moses himself?
6046Did not Christ die for us; and dying for us, are we not become dead to the law by the death of his body?
6046Did not I tell thee before, that a man must be righteous before he doth one good work, or he can never be righteous?
6046Did the similar feeling of Job or David spring from these polluted fountains?
6046Did these, then, see their graces so clear, as they saw themselves by their sins to be unworthy ones?
6046Did they all know that he was to be betrayed of Judas?
6046Did you never read that Scripture which saith,"Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness"?
6046Did you never read what God did to Ananias and Sapphira for telling but one lie against it?
6046Didst thou ever burn any of thy children in the fire to idols?
6046Didst thou ever curse, and swear, and deny Christ?
6046Didst thou ever kill anybody?
6046Didst thou ever use enchantments and conjuration?
6046Do God''s people keep holy fasts?
6046Do I love Christ, his Father, his saints, his words, and ways?
6046Do I see salvation is nowhere but in Christ?
6046Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
6046Do not I fill heaven and earth?
6046Do not I fill heaven and earth?
6046Do not I know that I am exalted this day to be king of righteousness, and king of peace?
6046Do not even almost all pursue this world, their lusts and pleasures?
6046Do not these fears hinder thee from profiting in hearing or reading of the Word?
6046Do not these fears keep thee back from laying hold of the promise of salvation by Jesus Christ?
6046Do not these fears make thee question whether ever thou hast had, indeed, any true comfort from the Word and Spirit of God?
6046Do not these fears make thee question whether ever thy first fears were wrought by the Holy Spirit of God?
6046Do not these fears make thee question whether there was ever a work of grace wrought in thy soul?
6046Do not these fears make thee sometimes think, that it is in vain for thee to wait upon the Lord any longer?
6046Do not these fears tend to the hardening of thy heart, and to the making of thee desperate?
6046Do not these fears tend to the stirring up of blasphemies in thy heart against God?
6046Do not these fears weaken thy heart in prayer?
6046Do such fear God?
6046Do they cry out after the Lord Jesus, to save them?
6046Do they cry out of the insufficiency of their own righteousness, as to justification in the sight of God?
6046Do they fear God?
6046Do they fear God?
6046Do they fly from it, as from the face of a deadly serpent?
6046Do they not know the law?
6046Do they savour Christ in his Word, and do they leave all the world for his sake?
6046Do they see more worth and merit in one drop of Christ''s blood to save them, than in all the sins of the world to damn them?
6046Do they slight Thy groans, Thy tears, Thy blood, Thy death, Thy resurrection and intercession, Thy second coming again in heavenly glory?
6046Do they slight Thy merits?
6046Do they, do you think, fear God?
6046Do you come to church, you know what I mean; to the parish church, to hear Divine service?
6046Do you know them now?
6046Do you know them now?
6046Do you know what that willful sin is?
6046Do you mean the covenant of the Law, or the covenant to the Gospel?
6046Do you not hear the prophets, how they press faith in Jesus, and life by faith in him?
6046Do you not know that they are coming to Jesus Christ?
6046Do you not know them?
6046Do you think it is to say a few words over before or among a people?

6046Dost thou study, by all honest and lawful ways, to advance the name, holiness, and majesty of God?
6046Dost thou therefore see thyself in such a sad condition as this?

6046Doth his promise fail for evermore?
6046Doth iniquity prevail against thee?
6046Doth it look like what hath any coherence with reason or mercy, for a man to abuse his friend?
6046Doth it say,"and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out?"
6046Doth justice call for the blood of that nature that sinned?
6046Doth justice say that this blood, if it be not the blood of One that is really and naturally God, it will not give satisfaction to infinite justice?

6046Doth no man come to Jesus Christ but by the drawing,& c., of the Father?
6046Doth no man come to Jesus Christ by the will, wisdom, and power of man, but by the gift, promise, and drawing of the Father?
6046Doth not everybody see the folly of such arguings?

6046Enter upon the solemn inquiry, Have I sought the gate?
6046Esau did despise his birthright, saying, What good will this birthright do me?
6046Especially if the judge be just, and knows me altogether, as the God of heaven does?
6046Fifth, Would Jesus Christ have mercy offered, in the first place, to the biggest sinners?
6046First, Art thou indeed come to Jesus Christ?
6046First, Would Jesus Christ have mercy offered, in the first place, to the biggest sinners?
6046For how can a man act righteousness but from a principle of righteousness?
6046For how can it otherwise be, since there is holiness and justice in God?
6046For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord?
6046For if sin be so dreadful a thing as to wring the heart of the Son of God, how shall a poor wretched sinner be able to bear it?
6046For if the most potent parts of the soul are engaged in their service, what, think you, do the more inferior do?
6046For if they reject the word of the Lord,"what wisdom is in them?"
6046For so the question implies--''What will a man give in exchange for his soul?''
6046For some cause he was treated with great liberality for those times; the extent of it may be seen by one justice asking him,''Is your God Beelzebub?''
6046For the fear of God is to stand in awe of him, but how can that be done if we do not set him before us?
6046For the first of these, namely,''WHAT OR WHO IS THE RIGHTEOUS MAN?
6046For they are now profane to amazement; and sometimes I have thought one thing, and sometimes another; that is, why God should suffer it so to be?
6046For to what purpose should a man desire, or what fruits will desire bring him whose desires shall not be granted?
6046For upon this one question, Am I come, or, am I not?
6046For what is the ground of despair, but a conceit that sin has shut the soul out of all interest in happiness?
6046For what saith the Scripture?
6046For what will my weak and newly converted brethren think of it, but that I was not so strong indeed as I was in word?
6046For wherein shall it be known here, that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight, is it not in that thou goest with us?
6046For who can bear or grapple with the wrath of God?
6046For who can do righteousness without he be principled so to do?
6046For whom can so precious an inheritance be intended?
6046For why are these things thus recorded, but to show to sinners what he can do, to the praise and glory of his grace?
6046For why may not God be merciful, and why may not God be just?
6046For zeal, where is that also?
6046For''hope that is seen, is not hope; for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
6046For, Was the first covenant made with the first Adam?
6046Fourth, Art thou come to the Lord Jesus?
6046Fourth, Would Jesus Christ have mercy offered, in the first place, to the biggest sinners?
6046Friend, if thou canst fit thyself, what need hast thou of Christ?
6046Go away?
6046Go to him, did I say?
6046God charged our sins upon Christ, and that in their guilt and burden, what remaineth but that the charge was real or feigned?
6046God gave testimony of him by signs and wonders--''Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?
6046God gave them intimation of a better country, and their minds did cleave to it with desires of it; and what then?
6046God is true, his Word is true; and to help us to hope in him, how many times has he fulfilled it to others, and that before our eyes?
6046Grant it; yet what law takes notice of the plea of one who doth professedly act as an enemy?
6046Guilt and despair, what are they?
6046Hackney, April 1850 THE GREATNESS OF THE SOUL, AND UNSPEAKABLENESS OF THE LOSS THEREOF''OR WHAT SHALL A MAN GIVE IN EXCHANGE FOR HIS SOUL?''
6046Had I ever, in all my lifetime, one sinful thought passed through my heart since I was born; yea or no?
6046Had he no place clean?
6046Had not now these men desires that were mighty?
6046Had our sins betrayed us into and under Satan''s slavery?
6046Had sin set us at an indefinite distance from God?

6046Hast thou well improved what thou hast received already?
6046Hast thou, thinkest thou, found anything so good as Jesus Christ?

6046Hath God forgotten to be gracious?
6046Hath God required these things at your hands?
6046Hath God showed thee that thou art by nature under the curse of his law?
6046Hath He overcome the law, the devil, and Hell?
6046Hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies?"
6046Hath it not a most vehement flame?
6046Hath not the least creature that hath life, more of God in it than these?
6046Hath not this God great love for sinners?

6046Having so often sold thyself to me to work wickedness, wilt thou forsake me now?
6046Having so often sold thyself to me to work wickedness, wilt thou forsake me now?
6046He also expects this at our hands, saying,"Who will rise up for me against the evil doers?
6046He answered me in a great chafe, What would the devil do for company, if it were not for such as I am?''
6046He asked me why?
6046He feared God; and what then?
6046He forsakes him--''My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?''
6046He hath given us his Son,"How shall he not with him also freely give us all things?"
6046He hath this Abishai, and that Abishai, that presently steps in against him, saying, Shall not this rebel''s sins destroy him in hell?
6046He imagined that he could bear these small afflictions with patience; but''a wounded spirit who can bear?''
6046He is indeed the great deliverer; but what is a deliverer to them that never saw themselves in bondage, as was said before?
6046He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me?
6046He is not ashamed of us, though now in heaven; why should we be ashamed of him before this adulterous and sinful generation?
6046He is thy Creator; is it not seemly for creatures to fear and reverence their Creator?
6046He is thy Father; is it not seemly for children to reverence and fear their Father?
6046He is thy King; is it not seemly for subjects to fear and reverence their King?
6046He is unwearied in his pleading for us; why should we faint and be dismayed while we plead for him?
6046He never said to him,''Why hast thou done so?''
6046He pleads for us before the holy angels; why should not we plead for him before princes?
6046He pleads for us to save our souls; why should not we plead for him to sanctify his name?
6046He pleads for us, against fallen angels; why should we not plead for him against sinful vanities?
6046He pleads for us, though our cause is bad; why should not we plead for him, since his cause is good?
6046He ran to him, he kneeled down to him, and asked, and that before a multitude,''Good master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?''
6046He said that I was ignorant, and did not understand the Scriptures; for how, said he, can you understand them when you know not the original Greek?
6046He said unto me, By what scripture?
6046He said, How then?
6046He said, which of the Scriptures do you understand literally?
6046He saith himself, they that come to him,& c., shall find rest unto their souls; hast thou found rest in him for thy soul?
6046He sanctified us with his blood; but why should the Father have thanks for this?
6046He was to offer it, and how?
6046He was, and was his Son, before he was revealed--''What is his name, and what is his Son''s name, if thou canst tell?''
6046He will receive perfection, immortality, heaven, and glory; and what is folded up in these things, who can tell?
6046Hear, did I say?
6046Heartily spoken; but how did he perform his promise?
6046Hence David, when he speaks of heaven, says,''Whom have I in heaven but thee?''
6046Hence it follows that Christ will be ashamed of some; but why not ashamed of others?
6046Here is nought but open war, acts of hostility, and shameful rebellion, on the sinner''s side; and what delight can God take in that?
6046His cause; what is his cause?
6046His fee- who shall pay him his fee?
6046House and land, trades and honours, places and preferments, what are they to salvation?
6046How are those treated in this world who are entitled to so glorious, so exalted, so eternal, and unchangeable an inheritance in the world to come?
6046How art thou when thou thinkest that thou thyself hast grace?
6046How came that to pass?
6046How came they by their faith?
6046How came they white?
6046How camest thou to see thy need of this righteousness?
6046How can I judge amiss, when I judge as I feel?
6046How can I then be accepted by a holy and sin- abhorring God?
6046How can it possibly be?
6046How can they have any to Godward that are enemies to him in their minds by wicked works?
6046How can they pray or make conscience of the duty that fear not God?
6046How can those that are accustomed to do evil, do that which is commanded in this particular?
6046How can we judge of a preacher''s good will, but by''peace on his lips?''
6046How canst thou find in thy heart to set thyself against grace, against such grace as offereth mercy to thee?
6046How could he join in their thanks, and praises, and blessings of him for ever and ever, in whose favour, mercy, and grace, they are not concerned?
6046How did he ply it with Christ against Joshua the high- priest?
6046How did he ply16 it against that good man Job, if possibly he might have obtained his destruction in hell- fire?
6046How do the heirs to immortality conduct themselves in such a prospect?
6046How do they show themselves to be true under the first of these?
6046How do they show themselves to be true under the second?
6046How dost thou find them in outward trials?
6046How dost thou find thyself in the inward workings of sin?
6046How dost thou like being saved?
6046How dost thou like the discovery of that which thou thinkest is grace in other men?
6046How doth that appear?
6046How far?
6046How if I never see the sun rise more?
6046How if the first voice that rings to- morrow morning in my heavy ears be,''Arise, ye dead, and come to judgment?''
6046How if you have over- stood the time of mercy?
6046How is that?
6046How is that?
6046How is this great object to be accomplished?
6046How it appears that they that are saved, are saved by grace?
6046How many are there in the world whose heart Satan hath filled with a belief that their state and condition for another world is good?
6046How many good souls has he driven to these conclusions, who afterwards have been made to unsay all again?
6046How many have, in all ages, been kept from coming to God aright by the terrors of the world?
6046How many in Israel were destroyed for that which Aaron, Gideon, and Manasseh, unworthily did in their day?
6046How many pay undue respect to buildings in which public prayer is offered up?
6046How many struggling fits had Israel with God in the wilderness?
6046How many times are some men put in mind of death by sickness upon themselves, by graves, by the death of others?
6046How many times are they put in mind of hell by reading the Word, by lashes of conscience, and by some that go roaring in despair out of this world?
6046How many times did they declare that there they feared him not?
6046How many times hast thou had heaven and salvation offered to thee freely, wouldst thou but break thy league with this great enemy of God?
6046How many times, think you, did Israel stand in need of pardon, from Egypt, until they came to Canaan?
6046How many times, when Israel provoked the Lord to anger, did he yet defer to destroy them?
6046How much of God dost thou think is in these things?
6046How now, thought I, is this the sign of an upright soul, to desire to serve God, when all is taken from him?
6046How rapid were his thoughts--''Wilt thou leave thy sins and go to heaven, or have thy sins and go to hell?''
6046How rich was Jesus Christ?
6046How sayest thou, sinner?
6046How shall I deliver thee, Israel?
6046How shall I make thee as Admah?
6046How shall I set thee as Zeboim?
6046How shall he be brought, wrought, and made, to be out of love with it?
6046How shall they come then?
6046How shall this be proved?
6046How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?"
6046How shall we, who are impure and unclean by nature and by practice, draw near unto him who is so infinitely holy?
6046How should he be the Christ, and yet come out of Galilee, out of which ariseth no prophet?
6046How should he contain hopes of life?
6046How should the Lord put any trust in thee?
6046How should we strive?
6046How so?
6046How then can his desires be granted, who himself refused to have them answered?
6046How then can they do anything with that godly reverence of his holy Majesty that is and must be essential to every good work?
6046How then can we be hindered of our hope?
6046How then shall a bad man, any bad man, the best bad man upon earth, think to set himself by his best things just in the sight of God?
6046How then shall the conscience of the burdened sinner by rightly quieted, if he perceiveth not the grace of God?
6046How then should they do good?
6046How then, may some say, doth it become ours?
6046How then?
6046How then?
6046How will men that have before them a little honour, a little profit, a little pleasure, strive?
6046How will the heavens echo of joy, when the Bride, the Lamb''s wife, shall come to dwell with her husband for ever?
6046How, if He had come, having taken a commandment from His Father to damn you, and to send you to the devils in Hell?
6046How, then, can he tell what it is to be saved that hath not felt the burden of the wrath of God?
6046How, then, can he tell what it is to be saved that never was sensible of the sorrows of the one, nor distressed with the pains of the other?
6046How, then, canst thou stand clear from guilt in thy soul who neglectest to act faith in the blood of the Lamb?
6046How, then, could they object that the time was not come for Christ to be born?
6046How?
6046How?
6046I a m under the force of it, and this is my continual cry, What shall I render to the Lord for all the benefits which he has bestowed upon me?
6046I am the basest of creatures, I could even spew at myself?
6046I answer, Art thou sensible that thou hast an action commenced against thee in that high court of justice that is above?
6046I answer, Hast thou well considered the nature of the crime wherewith thou standest charged at the bar of God?
6046I ask, Hast thou entertained him so to be?
6046I ask, and wherefore then served the wood by which the sacrifices were burned?
6046I asked her if she was sick?
6046I asked him wherein?
6046I come now to the second thing into which we are to inquire, and that is, WHAT ARE THE DESIRES OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN?
6046I come now to the third question, namely, But why should we strive?
6046I doubt I do not come as I should do?
6046I have also asked those that pass by the way,"if they saw him whom my soul loveth,"and if they had anything to communicate to me?
6046I query, is it possible to come up to the pattern for justification with God?
6046I said, Are they infallible?
6046I say again, how will they strive for this?
6046I say again, if our love is so slender to our own souls, can any think that it should be more full to the souls of others?
6046I say again, why is it affirmed''without shedding of blood is no remission,''if man''s good deeds can save him?
6046I say, Art thou sensible of this?
6046I say, What hast thou seen in him?
6046I say, Who told thee so?
6046I say, dost thou this, or dost thou hunt thine own soul to destroy it?
6046I say, hast thou entertained Jesus Christ for thy lawyer to plead thy cause?
6046I say, how glorious was it; and how sweet is it to you that have seen yourselves lost by nature?
6046I say, should he say to the poor, Come to my door, ask at my door, knock at my door, and you shall find and have; would he not be counted liberal?
6046I say, therefore, to thee that art thus, And why despair?
6046I say, what benefit have we thereby?
6046I say, what excuse can they make for themselves, when they shall be asked why they did not in the day of salvation come to Christ to be saved?
6046I say, what more fearful than to be tormented there for ever with the devil and his angels?
6046I say, where is he that hath taken his flight for salvation, because of the dread of the wrath to come?
6046I say, where, as to justification with God?
6046I think I am cast off from God, says the soul; so thou thoughtest afore, says memory, but thou wast mistaken then, and why not the like again?
6046I use the means to be saved; and why?
6046I was no sooner fixed upon this resolution, but that word dropped upon me,"Doth Job serve God for nought?"
6046I will do unto them as they have done unto Me; and what unrighteousness is in all this?
6046I.--WHAT IS IT TO BE SAVED?
6046II.--WHAT IS IT TO BE SAVED BY GRACE?
6046III.--WHO ARE THEY THAT ARE TO BE SAVED BY GRACE?
6046IV.--HOW IT APPEARS THAT THEY THAT ARE SAVED, ARE SAVED BY GRACE?
6046If God be for us, who can be against us?"
6046If God be with one, who can hurt one?
6046If He is, then how doth it appear?
6046If a man can not now go to the throne of grace by prayer, through Christ, and so fetch grace for his support from thence, what can he do?
6046If all that desire to go to heaven should come thither, verily they would make a hell of heaven; for, I say, what would they do there?
6046If grace received would do, what need for more?
6046If he also shall ask me, What hath been my preferment in all the time of my absence from him?
6046If he asks me, By what authority I take upon me thus to reason?
6046If he asks me, How I know that the law will not lay hold of me also?
6046If he asks me, Who have been my companions?
6046If he hath, show us where?
6046If he knows not hell, and the torments thereof, wherefore should he come?
6046If he knows not himself and the badness of his condition, wherefore should he come?
6046If he knows not the law, and the severity thereof, wherefore should he come?
6046If he knows not the world, and the emptiness and vanity thereof, wherefore should he come?
6046If he knows not what death is, wherefore should he come?
6046If he was not willing, why did he promise?
6046If heart- breaking work attend such strokes,''Why should ye be stricken any more?''
6046If it be love for a fellow- creature to give a bit of bread, a coat, a cup of cold water, what shall we call this?
6046If judgment begins at the house of God, what will the end of them be that obey not the gospel of God?
6046If the first come in and say, Why am I judged?
6046If the object of the wrath of God, then is his case most dreadful; for who can bear, who can grapple with the wrath of God?
6046If the question be asked, How a just God can save that man from death, that by sin has put himself under the sentence of it?
6046If the rich man should say thus to the poor, would not he be reckoned a free- hearted man?
6046If there be twenty places where there are assizes kept in this land, yet if I have offended no law, what need have I of an advocate?
6046If these be worth commending then, That vainly show their might, How dare you blame those holy men That in God''s quarrel fight?
6046If this be concluded in the affirmative, what follows but that Christ, though he undertook, came short in doing for us?
6046If thou canst go lustily, what mean thy crutches?
6046If thou sayest yea, then I ask, Who told thee that thou standest accused for transgression before the judgment- seat of God?
6046If thou sayest, Yea; I ask, How comest thou righteous?
6046If we do take occasion to do so, that we may drop, and be yet distilling some good doctrine upon their souls?
6046If what be possible?
6046If yea, then Christ had such; if no, then who can fulfil the law as he?
6046In a word, Doth unbelief bind down thy sins upon thee?
6046In a word, are they converted?
6046In a word, doth unbelief bind down thy sins upon thee?
6046In a word, who knows the power of God''s wrath, the weight of sin, the torments of hell, and the length of eternity?
6046In all this, what qualification shows itself as precedent to justification?
6046In time of sickness, what so set by as the doctor''s glasses and gally- pots full of his excellent things?
6046In whose judgment art thou righteous?
6046Indeed this may be; and therefore no similitude can be found that can fully amplify the matter,''for what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?''

6046Is Christ, as crucified, the way and door to all spiritual and eternal mercy?
6046Is God indeed to be dallied with, and will the end be pleasant unto you?
6046Is He satisfied now in the behalf of sinners by this Man''s thus suffering?
6046Is Jesus Christ an Advocate with the Father for us?
6046Is Jesus Christ the Saviour also become our Advocate?
6046Is any merry?
6046Is coming to Jesus Christ by the gift, promise, and drawing of the Father?
6046Is coming to Jesus Christ not by the will, wisdom, or power of man, but by the gift, promise, and drawing of the Father?
6046Is he God''s fellow?
6046Is he a fool that chooseth for himself long lasters, or he whose best things will rot in a day?
6046Is he a godly man, that will serve God for nothing rather than give out?
6046Is he a pleasant child?
6046Is he a second God?
6046Is he ever the worse for coming to Jesus Christ, or for his loving and serving of Jesus Christ?
6046Is he merciful; will he help thee?
6046Is he of the highest order of the angels?
6046Is he present; will he hear thee?
6046Is he qualified for my business?

6046Is his body dead?
6046Is his mercy clean gone for ever?
6046Is his mercy clean gone for ever?
6046Is his name, person, and undertakings, more precious to them, than is the glory of the world?
6046Is it Jesus Christ?
6046Is it a sign of a fool to agree with one''s adversary while we are in the way with him, even before he delivereth us to the judge?
6046Is it a time to take pleasure, and to recreate thyself in anything, before thou hast mourned and been sorry for thy sins?
6046Is it attended with so many blessed privileges?
6046Is it below thee?
6046Is it fit to say unto God, Thou art hard- hearted?
6046Is it in the judgment of God, or of man?
6046Is it likely that those should have the Lord Jesus for their Advocate to plead their cause; who despise and reject his person, his Word, and ways?
6046Is it not a high point of wisdom for a man to be always doing of that which lays him under the conduct of angels?
6046Is it not a sign of wisdom for a man yet more and more to endeavour to interest himself in the love and protection of God?
6046Is it not a sign of wisdom to depart from sins, which are the snares of death and hell?
6046Is it not better to say now unto God, Do not condemn me?
6046Is it not for a man to sin willingly after enlightening?
6046Is it not pity, had it otherwise been the will of God, that ever thou wast made a man, for that thou settest so little by thy soul?
6046Is it not rather to be wondered at, that thou hast not caught before this a thousand times a thousand falls?
6046Is it not so with you in respect of your beggars that come to your door?
6046Is it not strong as death, cruel as the grave, and hotter than the coals of juniper?
6046Is it not therefore a wonderful mercy to be blessed with this grace of fear, that thou by it mayest be kept from final, which is damnable apostasy?
6046Is it so much to be a fiddle?
6046Is it so, that coming to Jesus Christ is by the Father, as aforesaid?

6046Is it so?
6046Is it so?
6046Is it surprising that the Quakers, at such a time, assumed their peculiar neatness of dress?
6046Is not God as well mighty to punish as to save?
6046Is not HE called?
6046Is not HE glorified?
6046Is not HE justified?
6046Is not heaven worth thy affection?

6046Is the way dangerous in which thou art to go?
6046Is the way of the just an abomination to you?

6046Is there a man that comes to God by Christ?
6046Is there also hope to be in His children?
6046Is there any among thy sins, thy companions, and foolish delights, that, like Christ, can help thee in the day of thy distress?

6046Is there nothing else to be done but to make a covenant with death, and to maintain thy agreement with hell?
6046Is there perfection in that righteousness?
6046Is there room for me?''
6046Is there so much ground of comfort, and so much cause to be glad?
6046Is there so much store in Christ, and such a ready heart in Him to give it to me?
6046Is there that condition, they must believe?
6046Is there to be a righteousness to clothe them with that is to be presented before Divine justice?
6046Is this a truth, that the man that truly comes to God in order thereto has had his heart broken?
6046Is this fear of God such an excellent thing?
6046Is this he that professed, and disputed, and forsook us; but now he is come to us again?
6046Is this he that separated from us, but now he is fallen with us into the same eternal damnation with us?
6046Is this the gloomy fanaticism of a Puritan divine?
6046Is this the sum of all, namely, That''the fear of the wicked it shall come upon him,''and that''the desire of the righteous shall be granted?''
6046Is this to serve God?
6046Is this word more dear unto them?
6046Is thy business slight; is it not concerning the welfare of thy soul?
6046Is thy conscience awakened and convinced then, that thou art at present in a perishing state, and that thou hast need to cry to God for mercy?
6046Is thy heart hard?
6046Is thy heart slothful and idle?
6046It casteth out the Word and love of God, without which no grace can grow in the soul; how then should the fear of God grow in a covetous heart?
6046It confirms it; and this is part of the meaning of Paul in those large relations of his sufferings for Christ, saying,''Are they ministers of Christ?
6046It has ofttimes come into my mind to ask, By what means it is that the gospel profession should be so tainted39 with loose and carnal gospellers?
6046It is a neat and acceptable volume, but why altered?
6046It is a sign of a very bad nature when the contrary shows itself; could God have done more for thee than to have put his fear in thy heart?
6046It is an honour for the poor to stand up for the great and mighty; but what honour is it for the great to plead for the base?
6046It is enough to make angels blush, saith Satan, to see so vile a one knock at heaven- gates for mercy, and wilt thou be so abominably bold to do it?"
6046It is enough to make angels blush, saith Satan, to see so vile a one knock at heaven- gates for mercy, and wilt thou be so abominably bold to do it?''
6046It is false, said she; for when they said to him, Do you confess the indictment?
6046It is not a sign of foolishness timely to prevent ruin, is it?
6046It is said elsewhere,''For what is a man advantaged if he gain the whole world, and lose himself?''
6046It is said in another place;"Can a woman,"a mother,"forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb?
6046It is true, Mephibosheth had a check from David; for, said he,"Why wentest not thou with me, Mephibosheth?"
6046It may be thy great prayer is to say,"Our Father which art in heaven,"& c. Dost thou know the meaning of the very first words of this prayer?
6046It seems then, his heart was fainting; but what was the cause of his fainting?
6046It was their sore temptation; for still, as some affirmed him to be the Christ, others as fast objected,''Shall Christ come out of Galilee?''
6046It will never backslide again, will it?
6046It would not be reckoned of grace, but of debt; and what would follow from hence?
6046Job was a man a none- such in his day for one that feared God; and who so bold with God as Job?
6046John Bunyan?
6046Just and justified from all things that would otherwise swallow thee up?
6046Justice Keelin said, that I ought not to preach; and asked me where I had my authority?
6046Know you not that this is the judgment of God upon you,"ye despisers, to behold, and wonder, and perish?"
6046Lastly, Is there such mercy as this?
6046Lastly, Wouldest thou grow in this grace of fear?
6046Lastly, Wouldest thou grow in this grace of fear?
6046Lastly, but dost thou think that thy more grace will exempt thee from temptations?
6046Let our first inquiry be, whether the Saviour intended a fixed form of prayer?
6046Let us stand together; who is mine adversary?
6046Lightning and thunder is made a cause of rain, but lightning alone is not:''Who hath divided a water- course for the overflowing of waters?
6046Look ye now, did not I tell you so?
6046Lord, I have destroyed myself, can I live?
6046Lord, every one of them are sins of the first rate, of the biggest size, of the blackest line, can I live?
6046Lord, shall I honour Thee most by believing Thou canst pardon my sins, or by believing Thou canst not?
6046Lord, what will be the fruit of these things, when for the doctrine of God there is imposed, that is, more than taught, the traditions of men?
6046Lord, who desired Thee to promise?
6046Lord,"who can understand his errors?
6046Man knows the beginning of sin, said Spira, but who bounds the issues thereof?''
6046Many of this kind there be now in the world, both of men, and women, and children; art not thou that readest this book of this number?
6046May I be saved by him?''
6046May not the glorified saints become angels?
6046May not these be that sin I trow?
6046May there not come out true men as well as thieves out from thence?
6046May we appeal to our God, Lord, is it I?
6046Men will do thus, as I said, in courts below; and why shouldst not thou approach thus to the court above?
6046Mine eyes have seen vileness in the best of my doings; what, then, think you, must God needs see in them?
6046Must also the general assembly and church of the first- born wait upon thee for their full portions of glory?
6046Must he do what he lists?
6046Must it be, if they turn themselves, or do something to merit of him to turn them?
6046Must it needs be that?
6046Must it needs be the great transgression?
6046Must nobody seek because few are saved?
6046Must not that be much more so accounted?
6046Must the Son of God himself come down from heaven?
6046Must there be redemption by blood added to mercy, if the soul be saved?
6046Must they be bound to their own ruin, by the rebellion of their stubborn wills?
6046Must we not fear falls?
6046Must we, because of these temptations, incline to fall?
6046My brethren, is it not reasonable that we should stand up for him in this world?
6046My hope is grounded upon the promises; what else should it be grounded upon?
6046My sins are more than the sands, can I live?
6046My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God?
6046Nay, God favoured His Son no more, finding our sins upon Him, than He would have favoured any of us; for, should we have died?
6046Nay, are not the very thoughts of it altogether displeasing to thee?
6046Nay, art thou not a desperate persecutor of the children of God?
6046Nay, but why dost thou tempt the Lord thy God?
6046Nay, do not many make his Word, and his name, and his ways, a stalking- horse to their own worldly advantages?
6046Nay, further,"Have we not prophesied in Thy name?
6046Nay, is it not the mark of implacable reprobates?
6046Nay, was he not ready to give the lie to the angel, when he told him God was with him?
6046Nay, what world, what people, what nation, for sin and transgression, could or can be compared to Jerusalem?
6046Ninth, Would Jesus Christ have mercy offered, in the first place, to the biggest sinners?
6046No affection for the God that made thee?
6046No man, when he buildeth his house, makes the principal parts thereof of weak or feeble timber; for how could such bear up the rest?
6046No, saith the child, nor with this hand either; then have I said, Shall we cut off this finger, and buy my child a better, a brave golden finger?
6046Noah and Lot, who so holy as they in the time of their afflictions?
6046Now I come to the second question-- to wit, What is it to be saved by grace?
6046Now do we regret our want of greater conformity to his image?
6046Now help, Lord; now, Lord Jesus, what shall I do?
6046Now if all these and their works as to our justification, are rejected, where, but in Christ, is righteousness to be found?
6046Now the soul is purchased by a price that the Son, the wisdom of God, thought fit to pay for the redemption thereof-- what a thing, then, is the soul?
6046Now there is both comfort and honour in this; for what comfort like that of being a holy man of God?
6046Now what can deliver the soul from these but grace?
6046Now what can hell and death do to him that hath this mercy of God upon him?
6046Now what did he do by this his carriage, but testify plainly that he was not for receiving accusations against poor sinners, whoever accused by?
6046Now, I pray, what is it to be a devil, but to be under, for ever, the power and dominion of sin, an implacable spirit against God?
6046Now, I remember that one day, as I was walking into the country, I was much in the thoughts of this, But how if the day of grace be past?
6046Now, I would ask, what all this should signify, if a sinner, as a sinner, before he washes, or is washed, may immediately go unto the throne of grace?
6046Now, being made free from sin, what follows?
6046Now, how strong the motions or passions of love are, who is there that is an utter stranger thereto?
6046Now, if Christ, as an Advocate, pleadeth a propitiation with God, for whose conviction doth he plead it?
6046Now, if God shall count me righteous, who will be so hardy as to conclude I yet shall perish?
6046Now, if a call to come hath such encouragement in it, what is a promise of receiving such, but an encouragement much more?
6046Now, if so much safety flows from God''s being for one, how safe are we when God is with us?
6046Now, if they be blind, how shall they come?
6046Now, if this cause be faulty, why doth he live?
6046Now, if thou takest such things for a grant of thy desires, and consequently concludest thyself a righteous man, how mayest thou be deceived?
6046Now, is not this a blessed Christ, coming sinner?
6046Now, justification and eternal salvation being both in Christ, and nowhere else to be had for men, who would not come to Jesus Christ?
6046Now, since this is so, what can the condemned at the judgment say for themselves, why sentence of death should not be passed upon them?
6046Now, the question is, how Abraham found?
6046Now, then, I would be saved; but why?
6046Now, then, it will be demanded, how a soul, before it was a month old, could receive sin to the making of itself unclean?
6046Now, to be taught of God, what like it?
6046Now, what can an intercessor do, if he is not able to answer this question?
6046Now, what doth Christ plead, and what is the ground of his plea?
6046Now, what is faith but a believing, a trusting, or relying act of the soul?
6046Now, what is the result, but that the Advocate goes down, as well as we; we to hell, and he in esteem?
6046Now, what is the signification of this name but SAVIOUR?
6046Now, what remains but that we who are reconciled to God by faith in his blood are quit, discharged, and set free from the law of sin and death?
6046Now, what shall God do to save these men?
6046Now, what shall this man do?
6046Now, what was Paul''s answer?
6046Now, when Jesus was born, it is said,''Where is he that is born King of the Jews?''
6046Now, whence should all this disobedience arise?
6046Now, where lieth the fault?
6046Now, which of these hast thou?
6046Now, will not this last his poor brethren to spend upon a great while?
6046O Lord, thought I, what if I should not, indeed?
6046O grave, where is thy victory?
6046O grave, where is thy victory?"
6046O grave, where is thy victory?''
6046O how should a poor soul do this?
6046O sinner, wilt thou not open?
6046O thou that fearest the Lord, what is thy desire?
6046O, but I am but one, and a very sorry one, too; and what is one, especially such an one as I am?
6046O, then we should have you cry out, I must have Christ; what shall I do for Christ?
6046Objection.-But doth not Christ as Advocate plead for his elect, though not called as yet?
6046Of God, do I say; if thou wouldst but break this league with this great enemy of thy soul?
6046On his arrival, he demanded,''Are all the prisoners safe?''
6046Once being at an honest woman''s house, I, after some pause, asked her how she did?
6046One word also to you that are neglecters of Jesus Christ:''How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation?''
6046Or art thou ignorant of these things, and yet darest thou say, Our Father?
6046Or how shall a man be able to give to others a satisfactory account of his unfeigned subjection to the gospel, that yet abides in his impenitency?
6046Or how, if the next sight I see with mine eyes be the Lord in the clouds, with all his angels, raining floods of fire and brimstone upon the world?
6046Or is he ever the more a fool, for flying from that which will drown thee in hell- fire, and for seeking eternal life?
6046Or is his grace so far gone, and so near spent, that now he has not enough to pardon, and secure, and save one sinner more?
6046Or is it not the least of thy thoughts all the day?
6046Or of Heman, when he said he was free among them whom God remembered no more?
6046Or the highly virtuous dame, Must I sue for mercy upon the same terms as the Magdalene?
6046Or the will of Christ to the will of Satan?
6046Or the will of righteousness to the will of sin?
6046Or they who do us scorn?
6046Or those who do our houses waste?
6046Or us, who this have borne?
6046Or what do you think of David, when he said he was cast off from God''s eyes?
6046Or, Can God repute him so, and yet be holy and just?
6046Or, Is it possible that a man that has done as he has, should yet be found a saint, and so in a saved state?
6046Or, as you have it in John, will you love your life till you lose it?
6046Paul did not so much as once ask him, What is your end in this question?
6046Perfect righteousness, what to do?
6046Perfecting holiness, what is that?
6046Perhaps the word''satisfaction''will hardly be found in the Bible; and where is it said in so many words,''God is dissatisfied with our sins?''
6046Perhaps thou wilt not let go now, what, as a hypocrite, thou hast got; but"what is the hope of the hypocrite, when God taketh away his soul?"
6046Peter asks thee another question, to wit,"If the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?"
6046Ponder the path of thy feet with the greatest seriousness, thy life lies upon it; what thinkest thou?
6046Poor besotted sinner, is this thy last shift?
6046Poor child, thought I, what sorrow art thou like to have for thy portion in this world?
6046Poor drunken sinner, what shall I say to thee?
6046Poor sin- sick soul, do you consider your state more loathsome and dangerous than the leprosy?
6046Power to do what?
6046Prithee tell me what moved thee to come to Jesus Christ?
6046Prithee tell me, What seest thou in him to allure thee to forsake all the world, to come to him?
6046Put thyself now upon this serious inquiry, Am I indeed come to Jesus Christ?
6046Reader, have you ever felt thus''in downright earnest''for salvation?
6046Reader, have you had, at any time, equal anxiety for your soul''s health and salvation?
6046Reader, our anxious inquiry should be, Have we entered in by Christ the gate?
6046Reader, would''st see what may you never feel, Despair, racks, torments, whips of burning steel?
6046Reason also says the same, for how can Blacks beget white children, when both father and mother are black?
6046Reason will say, Then who will profess Christ that hath such coarse entertainment at the beginning?
6046Received, into what?
6046Riches and power, what is there more in the world?
6046SECOND, How it appears that Christ hath power to save or cast out?
6046Saith not the gospel the very same?
6046Saith the soul, Can not the devil give one such comfort I trow?
6046Satan often saith of us when we have sinned, as Abishai said of Shimei after he had cursed David, Shall not this man die for this?
6046Satan stronger than the Almighty Redeemer?
6046Saved I would be; and who is there that would not, were they in my condition?
6046Say I these things as a man?
6046Say they, if our iniquities be upon us, and we pine away in them, how can we then live?
6046Say you so?
6046Second, Art thou come to Jesus Christ?
6046Second, But what is it for Jesus to be an Advocate for these?
6046Second, Would Jesus Christ have mercy offered, in the first place, to the biggest sinners, to the Jerusalem sinners?
6046See here, a man at the foot of the ladder, now ready in will and mind, to die for his profession; but how will he carry it now?
6046See here, what should we talk any more about such a fellow?
6046See now, did not I tell thee that thy fears were but the consequence of strong desires?
6046Seest thou a professor that prayeth not?
6046Seest thou here, how saints of old were wo nt to do?
6046Sermon being done, up she gets, and away she goes, and withal inquired where this Jesus the preacher dined that day?
6046Seventh, Would Jesus Christ have mercy offered, in the first place, to the biggest sinners?
6046Shall Christ come down from Heaven to earth to declare this to sinners; and shall sinners stop their ears against these good tidings?
6046Shall Christ think nothing too dear for me?
6046Shall Christ weep to see thy soul going on to destruction, and will though sport thyself in that way?
6046Shall God enter this complaint against thee?
6046Shall God speak to man''s soul, and shall not man believe?
6046Shall I be admitted into, or shut out from, that blessed kingdom?
6046Shall I chide them?
6046Shall I come to particulars with thee?
6046Shall I flatter them?
6046Shall I grieve Him with my foolish carriage?
6046Shall I honour Thee most by believing Thou wilt pardon my sins, or by believing Thou wilt not?
6046Shall I intreat them to hold their tongues?
6046Shall I now be ashamed of the cause, ways, people, or saints of Jesus Christ?
6046Shall I now love ever a lust or sin?
6046Shall I now speak of the place that this saved body and soul shall dwell in?
6046Shall I now yield my members as instruments of righteousness, seeing my end is everlasting life?
6046Shall I slight His counsel by following of my own will?
6046Shall I speak of their company?
6046Shall I speak of their continuance in this condition?
6046Shall I speak of their heavenly raiment?
6046Shall I tell thee?
6046Shall Jesus Christ be interceding in heaven?
6046Shall he look to God?
6046Shall he look to himself?
6046Shall he look to the commandment?
6046Shall he stay from Christ till his heart is better?
6046Shall he that speaks in righteousness give place, and he who has nothing but envy and deceit be admitted to stand his ground?
6046Shall he trust to his duties?
6046Shall he turn away, and not return?''
6046Shall man believe what God says, and nothing at all regard it?
6046Shall not Christ, then, prevail?
6046Shall not I now be holy?
6046Shall not I now study, strive, and lay out myself for Him that hath laid out Himself soul and body for me?
6046Shall not this lay obligation upon me?
6046Shall that hinder the execution of Shall- come?
6046Shall the dead arise and praise thee?''
6046Shall there any man be put to death this day in Israel, for do not I know, that I am king this day over Israel?"
6046Shall they come?
6046Shall they prosper that do such things?
6046Shall this man lie down and despair?
6046Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
6046Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
6046Shall we do evil that good may come?
6046Shall we do evil that good may come?
6046Shall we sin because we are forgiven?
6046Shall we sin because we are not under the law, but under grace?
6046She, also, that is thine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which saith unto thee, Where is the Lord thy God?"
6046Short- sighted mortal,"shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?"''
6046Should a man ask me how he should know that he loveth the children of God?
6046Should we have been made a curse?
6046Should we have undergone the pains of Hell?
6046Should we pray for communion with God through Christ?
6046Should you ask him that we mentioned but now, How long is it since you began to fear you should miss of this damsel you love so?
6046Since, then, the children have Christ for their advocate, art thou a child?
6046Sinner, art thou thirsty?
6046Sinner, be advised; ask thy heart again, saying, Am I come to Jesus Christ?
6046Sinner, canst thou read that Jesus Christ was made an offering for sin, and yet go in sin?
6046Sinner, careless sinner, didst thou take notice of this first inference that I have drawn from my second doctrine?
6046Sinner, coming sinner, art thou for coming to Jesus Christ?
6046Sinner, hast thou deferred to fear the Lord?
6046Sinner, hast thou obtained a broken heart?
6046Sinner, if this wicked thought be in thy heart, tell me again, dost thou thus think in earnest?
6046Sinner, what sayest thou?
6046Sinner, what wilt thou take to make a mountain of sand that will reach as high as the sun is at noon?
6046Sinner, where is now thy righteousness?
6046Sinner, why shouldest thou pull vengeance down upon thee?
6046Sinner, wouldst thou have mercy?
6046Sinners, you have souls, can you behold a crucified Christ, and not bleed, and not mourn, and not fall in love with him?
6046Sir, said I, if I may do good to one by my discourse, why may I not do good to two?
6046Sir, said I, pray what do you mean by calling the people together?
6046So David,''Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
6046So I asked her, she being a stranger to me, what she had to say to me?
6046So again saith he in the next Psalm after, as afore he had complained of the oppression of the enemy,''Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
6046So again:"I was left alone,"says he,"and saw this great vision"; and what follows?
6046So full is this of consolation and felicity that the apostle exclaims,''If God be for us, who can be against us?''
6046So it is here, there is a promise made indeed, but to whom?
6046So that, is there righteousness in Christ?
6046So, again, in another place, he saith,''Lord, how long wilt thou look on?
6046So, again, speaking of the wicked, he saith,''Ye have said it is vain to serve God, and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance?''
6046So, of which of them hath He at any time said, This is, or shall be, made in or after Mine image, Mine own image?
6046So, then, wilt thou live by the law?
6046Solomon says,''The word of a king is as the roaring of a lion''; and if so, what is the Word of God?
6046Some make their sighs, their tears, their prayers, and their reformations, their advocates-"Hast thou tried these, and found them wanting?"
6046Some may say, Will God see that which is not?
6046Some, as I said, that revolt, are shot dead upon the place; and for them, who can help them?
6046Sometimes I look upon myself, and say, Where am I now?
6046Soon after we set out, my father came to my brother''s, and asked his men whom his daughter rode behind?
6046Soul, he suffered and did bear with the manners of Israel forty years in the wilderness; and hast thou tried him half so long?
6046Still how common is the question, which one of the disciples put to his master,''Lord, are there few that be saved?''
6046Suppose a child doth grievously transgress against and offend his father, is the relation between them therefore dissolved?
6046Suppose a man, when he dieth, should be made to live for ever, but without the enjoyment of God, what good would his life do him?
6046Suppose a man, when he dieth, should go to heaven, that golden place, what good would this do him, if he was not possessed of the God of it?
6046Suppose it should be urged, that this is a doctrine tending to looseness and lasciviousness; the answer is ready--"What shall we say then?
6046Suppose so many cattle in such a pound, and one goes by whose they are not, doth he concern himself?
6046Suppose they staid but one quarter of an hour there after their fall, before they were cast out, what sweetness found they there, but guilt?
6046Surely it hath not entered into the heart of man to conceive what ear never heard, nor mortal eye ever saw?
6046Tell me, dost thou not desire to desire?
6046Tell me, now, you that desire to be under the law, can you fulfil all the commands of the law, and after answer all its demands?
6046Tell me, therefore, which of them will love him most?
6046Tenth, Would Jesus Christ have mercy offered, in the first place, to the biggest sinners?
6046That I may know also, whether the day of grace be past with me or no?
6046That also in the Romans is clear to this purpose,''Who is he that condemneth?
6046That old friend of publicans and sinners?
6046That our duties are imperfect, follows upon what was discoursed before; for if our graces be imperfect, how can our duties but be so too?
6046That tells thee the world is not, even then when it doth most appear to be; wilt thou set thine heart upon that which is not?
6046That the soul, did I say?
6046The Bible had been to him a sealed book until, in a state of mental agony, he cried, What must I do to be saved?
6046The END of the law-- what is the end of the law but perfect and sinless obedience?
6046The Lord spake unto Manasseh, and to his people, by the prophets, but would he hear?
6046The broken- hearted desireth God''s company; when wilt thou come unto me?
6046The children, indeed, have the advantage of an advocate; but what is this to them that have none to plead their cause?
6046The devil will tempt us, sin will assault us, men will persecute; but can they do it to everlasting?
6046The end, what is that?
6046The first is to question whether any are said to die and rise, by the death and resurrection of Christ?
6046The first observation, or truth, drawn from the words is cleared by the text,''What shall a man give in exchange for his soul?''
6046The full pitcher can hold no more; then why should it go to the fountain?
6046The godly are called believers; and why believers, but because they are they that have given credit to the great things of the gospel of God?
6046The grace of humility, when is it?
6046The graces of the Spirit-- what like them, or where here are they to be found, save in the souls of men only?
6046The great question is, not as to the means, but the fact-- Have I been born again?
6046The heart naturally is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; how then should there flow from such an one the fear of God?
6046The judge saith, What canst thou say for thyself that sentence of death should not be passed upon thee?
6046The man under the sixth head complaineth for want of temptations, but thou hast enough of them; art thou glad of them, tempted, coming sinner?
6046The mercy, the pardoning preserving mercy, the mercy of the Lord is upon them, who is he then that can condemn them?
6046The mind becomes entranced, and when sober reflection regains her command, we naturally inquire, Can all this have taken place in my heart?
6046The name of God, what is that, but that by which he is distinguished and known from all others?
6046The name of master is a name of fear--"And if I be a master, where is my fear?
6046The principle, you will say, what do you mean by that?
6046The question is not, Are they blind?
6046The question naturally arises-- What is this''furnace of earth''in which the Lord''s words are purified?
6046The question,"Are there few that be saved?"
6046The questions was answered with that portion of Scripture,''If God be for us, who can be against us?''
6046The righteous; who is he but the man that loveth God, and his holy will, to do it?
6046The same saying in effect hath also John in the Revelation--"Who shall not fear thee, O Lord,"said he,"and glorify thy name?"
6046The second question is, How should we strive?
6046The second thing is, How are these brought into this Everlasting Covenant of Grace?
6046The second thing that I would inquire into is this: What it is to be''ready to be offered up''?
6046The snare, say you, what is that?
6046The study of those scriptures, in order that the solemn question might be safely resolved,''Can such a fallen sinner rise again?''
6046The text from which he intended to preach was''Dost thou believe on the Son of God?''
6046The text says''the desire of the righteous shall be granted''; what then are the desires of the righteous?
6046The valley of Achor; what is that?
6046The whole have no need of the physician; then why should they go to him?
6046The wicked; who is he but the man that loves not God, nor to do his will?
6046Their minds and consciences are defiled; how then can sweet and good proceed from thence?
6046Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; how then can there be found one word that should please God?
6046Their poison-- what is that?
6046Then I ask again, Hast thou committed thy cause to him?
6046Then I ask again, Hast thou revealed thy cause unto him?-I say, Hast thou revealed thy cause unto him?
6046Then breaking out in the bitterness of my soul, I said''to myself,''with a grievous sigh, How can God comfort such a wretch as I?
6046Then did that scripture seize upon my soul, He is of one mind, and who can turn him?
6046Then said Christian, Why doth this man thus tremble?
6046Then said Mr. Bunyan,''Have you the original?''
6046Then said Nathaniel to Jesus,''Whence knowest thou me?
6046Then such a question as this,"Friend, how camest thou in hither, not having a wedding garment?"
6046Then would you have none pray but those that know they are the disciples of Christ?
6046Then, I pray thee, let me inquire a little of thee, what provision thou hast made for thy soul?
6046Then, why may not I doubt that I may be one of these?
6046There are but three or four: and can not God miss them, and save me for all them?
6046There are mansion- houses, beds of glory, and places to walk in among the angels; and who knows what they are?
6046There are rewards for services, and labour of love showed to God''s name here; and who knows what they will be?
6046There is death?
6046There is heaven itself, the imperial heaven; does any body know what that is?
6046There is hope, another grace of the Spirit bestowed upon us; and how often is that also, as to the excellency of working, made to flag?
6046There is immortality and eternal life: and who knows what they are?
6046There is in the text an intimation of a sense of torment''Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?''
6046There is never a rebel in heaven against God, and if he should so deal on earth, must it not whirl thee down to hell?
6046There is reverence, fear, and standing in awe of God''s Word and judgments, where are the excellent workings thereof to be found?
6046There is the mount Zion, the heavenly Jerusalem, and the innumerable company of angels; doth any body know what all they are?
6046There will be badges of honour, harps to make merry with, and heavenly songs of triumph; doth any here know what they are?
6046Therefore from that time that he heard that word,"Why persecutest thou me?"
6046Therefore in this sense it may be said,''Where is the fury of the oppressor?''
6046Therefore the soul is it which is said to love God--''Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?''
6046Therefore, how can you bear the face to come to Jesus Christ?
6046Therefore, this would still stick with me, How can you tell that you are elected?
6046These are also taken notice of in Job, and go there also by the name of wicked men:"Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
6046These bloody sacrifices, what did they signify, what were they figures of, but of the bloody sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ?
6046These kill the heart; for who can bear up under the guilt of sin?
6046They are all gone out of the way; how then can they walk therein?
6046They bless, they all bless; they thank, they all thank; and wilt thou hold thy tongue?
6046They shall come, say you, but how if they be blind, and see not the way?
6046They shall, you say; but how if they will not; and, if so, then what can Shall- come do?
6046Think, therefore, with thyself thus, What was it that at first did wound my heart?
6046Thinkest thou that thou shalt weather it out well enough at the day of judgment?
6046Third, Art thou coming to Jesus Christ?
6046Third, Would Jesus Christ have mercy offered in the first place to the biggest sinners?
6046This brings us to the most important of all the subjects of self- examination-- am I one of the''righteous''?
6046This dastardly heart of ours, when shall it be more subdued and trodden under foot of faith?
6046This is but reasonable; for if Christ stands up to plead for us, why should not we stand up to plead for him?
6046This is much; but is God connected with this?
6046This is not a sign that you fear me, ye offer the blind for sacrifices, where is my fear?
6046This is of absolute necessity; for how can or shall a man be willing to come to Christ that knows not what he is, what God has appointed him to do?
6046This is plain, not only to sense, but by the natural scope of the words,''What shall a man give in exchange for his soul?''
6046This is the common language,''if our transgressions be upon us, and we pine away in them, How should we then live?''
6046This is the fear that made the three thousand cry out,"Men and brethren, what shall we do?"
6046This is the time, then, for Christ to stand up to plead; for now there is room for such a question- Can David''s sin stand with grace?
6046This man is minded to give more to be damned, than God requires he should give to be saved; is not this an extravagant one?
6046This may be answered by the question-- Was Peter justified in leaving the prison, and going to the prayer- meeting at Mary''s house?
6046This snare will bring thee back again to the pit, which is hell, and then how wilt thou do to be rid of thy fear?
6046This text utterly excludes the law-- what law?
6046This to reason is very dreadful; for it cuts the soul down to the ground;''for a wounded spirit who[ none] can bear?''
6046This wicked world doth sentence us for our good deeds, but how then would they sentence us for our bad ones?
6046This, I say, is a character above all angels; for, as the apostle said,''To which of the angels said He at anytime,''Thou art my Son?''
6046Those of the children of Israel that went from Egypt, and entered the land of Canaan, how came they thither?
6046Thou biddest them be merry and lightsome; but dost thou not know that"the heart of fools is in the house of mirth?"
6046Thou horrible wretch, dost not know, that thou has sinned thyself beyond the reach of grace, and dost thou think to find mercy now?
6046Thou horrible wretch, dost not know, that thou hast sinned thyself beyond the reach of grace, and dost think to find mercy now?
6046Thou horrible wretch, dost not know, that thou hast sinned thyself beyond the reach of grace, and dost thou think to find mercy now?
6046Thou mayest also doubt18 thy thoughts of the damned thus: If these poor creatures were in the world again, would they sin as they did before?
6046Thou mayest by thy fear be driven away from God, from his worship, people, and ways, but what will that avail?
6046Thou scrupulous fool, where canst thou find that God was ever false to his promise, or that he ever deceived the soul that ventured itself upon him?
6046Thou scrupulous fool, where canst thou find that God was ever false to his promise, or that he ever deceived the soul that ventured itself upon him?''
6046Thou talkest of leaving him, but then whither wilt thou go?
6046Thou thinkest to escape the pit; but what wilt thou do with the snare?
6046Thou wilt say unto me, How should I know that I have done so?
6046Thus also thou may say when death assaulteth thee-- O death, where is thy sting?
6046Thus did Saul by the light that made him see; by it he came to Christ, and cried,''Who art thou, Lord?''
6046Thus to do is horrible; but mayest thou not judge amiss in this matter?
6046Thy people, what people?
6046Time was, indeed, he could hector, even hector it with God himself, saying,''What is the Almighty, that we should serve him?''
6046To be made an heir of God, of his grace, of his kingdom, and eternal glory, what is like it?
6046To be saved from sin, from hell, from the wrath of God, from eternal damnation, what is like it?
6046To prosper and be in health, as their soul prospers-- what, to thrive and mend in outwards no faster?
6046To what end, O my soul, art thou retired into this place?
6046To what may such an one attain?
6046To which Bunyan replied;''Friend, dost thou speak this as from thy own knowledge, or did any other tell thee so?
6046To whom could he go?
6046True, the others murmured at him; but what did the Lord Jesus answer them?
6046True, the right of dominion is the Lord''s; but the sinner will not suffer it, but will be all himself; saying''Who is Lord over us?''
6046True, thou mayest fear as devils do, but what will that profit?
6046USE FIFTH, Again, fifthly, Is it so?
6046USE FIRST.--Is justifying righteousness to be found in the person of Christ only?
6046USE SECOND.--Is it so?
6046USE THIRD.--But, thirdly, is it so?
6046Upon what terms may he have this life?
6046Upon what terms?
6046Us: What us?
6046V. What might be the reasons which prevailed with God to save us by grace, rather than by any other means?
6046V.--WHAT MIGHT BE THE REASON MOVED GOD TO ORDAIN AND CHOOSE TO SAVE THOSE THAT HE SAVETH BY HIS GRACE, RATHER THAN BY ANY OTHER MEANS?
6046Was it God that was offended?
6046Was it not free grace for Christ to give Peter a loving look after he had cursed, and swore, and denied Him?
6046Was it not free grace that met Paul when he was agoing to Damascus to persecute, which converted him, and made him a vessel of mercy?
6046Was it not free grace to save such as those were that are spoken of in the 16th of Ezekiel, which no eye pitied?
6046Was it not grace, absolute grace, that God made promise to Adam after transgression?
6046Was it the removing of thy habitation, the change of thy condition, the loss of relations, estate, or the like?
6046Was not here like to be a fine bargain, think you?
6046Was not this a strange act, and a display of unthought- of grace?
6046Was not this the way that the Lord was fain to take to make them close in with Jesus Christ?
6046Was the unjust steward a fool in providing for himself for hereafter?
6046Was there ever a man in the world so capable of describing the miseries of Doubting Castle, or of the Slough of Despond, as poor John Bunyan?
6046Was this only the temper of wicked men then?
6046We may adopt the language of the poet, and say--''Sinful soul, what hast thou done?
6046We need not lay the reins on its neck and say, What care we?
6046We read, in the book of Revelations, of the holy city, and that it had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; but what did they do there?
6046We received, by our thus being counted in him, that benefit which did precede his rising from the dead; and what was that but the forgiveness of sins?
6046Well might Mr. Doe say,''What hath the devil or his agents got by putting our great gospel minister in prison?''
6046Well said, and how was it then?
6046Well said, and what after that?
6046Well, but how was he received by the lord of the vineyard?
6046Well, but is there in truth such a thing as the obedience of faith?
6046Well, but what judgment hast thou passed upon it while thou livest in thy debaucheries?
6046Well, but what says God?
6046Well, but whither must they go?
6046Well, said I, shall I send to your master, while you abide out of sight, and make your peace with him before he sees you?
6046Well, said he, to conclude, but will you promise that you will not call the people together any more?
6046Well, what judgment now doth God, the righteous judge, pass upon the damsel for this?
6046Well, will things that are less satisfy thy soul?
6046Were a man to plead for a limb, or a member of his own, how would he plead?
6046Were ever the Pharisees so profane; to whom Christ said, Ye vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
6046Were it granted that you kept the law, and that no man on earth could accuse you; were you therefore just before God?
6046Were there no objects of pity among those that in the old world perished by the flood, or that in Sodom were burned with fire from heaven?
6046Were there none but thieves there, or were the rest of that company out of his reach?
6046Were we by sin subject to death?
6046Were we under the curse of the law by reason of sin?
6046What a devil then is sin?
6046What are our desires?
6046What are the desires of a righteous man?
6046What are the gleanings to the whole crop?
6046What are the honours and riches of this world, when compared to the glories of a crown of life?
6046What are the pleasures and delights of thy soul now?
6046What are the privileges of those that are actually brought into this free and glorious grace of the glorious God of Heaven and glory?
6046What are the signs and tokens that thou bearest about thee, concerning how it will go with thy soul at last?
6046What arguments would he use?
6046What better warrant canst thou have to come, than to be bid to come of God?
6046What can a man do to procure Christ, or procure faith, or love?
6046What can a man say more, but that he stands in the rank of the biggest sinners?
6046What can be more plain than this beautiful text?
6046What can follow more clearly from this, but that amends were made by him for those souls for whose sins he suffered upon the tree?
6046What can the body do as to these?
6046What canst thou have more from the sweet lips of the Son of God?
6046What care I, saith he, though I be seven years in chilling your heart if I can do it at last?
6046What care hast thou had of securing of thy soul, and that it might be delivered from the danger that by sin it is brought into?
6046What care they for God?
6046What comeliness hast thou seen in his person?
6046What condition is this man in?

6046Will temporal things make thy soul to live?
6046Will the wrath of God be a pleasant dish to thy taste?
6046Will these be excuses for them, as the case now standeth with them?
6046Will they do me any good when Christ comes?
6046Will they not also be amazed one at another, while they remember how in their lifetime they counted themselves fellow- heirs of life?
6046Will those, who have us hither cast?
6046Will you not hear the errand of Christ, although He telleth you tidings of peace and salvation?
6046Will you rebel against the king?
6046Will you take up the cross, come after Me, and so preserve your souls from perishing?
6046Will you trust to the blood that was shed upon the cross, that run down to the ground, and perished in the dust?
6046Wilt not thou serve him with joyfulness in the enjoyment of all good things, even him by whom thou art to be made blessed for ever?
6046Wilt thou answer this question now, or wilt thou take time to do it?
6046Wilt thou by thus doing endeavour to keep them wrapt up still in the dust of the earth, there to dwell with the worm and corruption?
6046Wilt thou continue to contemn and reproach the living God?
6046Wilt thou not cry?
6046Wilt thou stand by thy doings?
6046With promises, did I say?
6046With respect to thy desires, what are they?
6046With that, one of them said, Who is your God?
6046Witness they that live in hell; if it be proper to say they live in hell?
6046Would God else have given him the heaven to dispose of to us that believe, and would he else have told us so?
6046Would I share in this salvation by faith in him?
6046Would not By- ends, Facing- both- ways, and Save- all, have jumped to the same conclusion?
6046Would not Heaven be better to me than my sins?
6046Would not His dying only of a natural death have served the turn?
6046Would she not say, You mock me?
6046Would the people learn to be wanton?
6046Would they learn to be drunkards?
6046Would you be saved by keeping the law?
6046Would you have us make Christ such a drudge as to do all, while we sit idling still?
6046Would you have us run into temptation, to try if they be sound or rotten?
6046Would you not say, I did not think of covenants, or study the nature of them?
6046Would you serve your prince so?
6046Would you stand just before God thereby?
6046Wouldest thou grow in this fear of God?
6046Wouldest thou grow in this godly fear?
6046Wouldest thou grow in this godly fear?
6046Wouldest thou grow in this grace of fear?
6046Wouldest thou grow in this grace of fear?
6046Wouldest thou grow in this grace of fear?
6046Wouldest thou grow in this grace of fear?
6046Wouldest thou grow in this grace of fear?
6046Wouldest thou grow in this grace of fear?
6046Wouldest thou grow in this grace of fear?
6046Wouldest thou grow in this grace of fear?
6046Wouldest thou grow in this grace of fear?
6046Wouldest thou grow in this grace of fear?
6046Wouldest thou grow in this grace of fear?
6046Wouldest thou grow in this grace of fear?
6046Wouldest thou grow in this grace of fear?
6046Wouldest thou grow in this grace of godly fear?
6046Wouldest thou know whether Christ is thine Advocate or no?
6046Wouldst thou be faithful to do that work that God hath appointed thee to do in this world for his name?
6046Wouldst thou be faithful to do that work that God hath appointed thee to do in this world for his name?
6046Wouldst thou be saved from guilt and filth too?
6046Wouldst thou be saved with a thorough salvation?
6046Wouldst thou be saved?
6046Wouldst thou be the servant of thy Saviour?
6046Wouldst thou have the kingdom of God come indeed, and also his will to be done in earth as it is in heaven?
6046Wouldst thou know whether Jesus Christ is thine Advocate, whether he has taken in hand to plead thy cause?
6046Wouldst thou know whether Jesus Christ is thine advocate?
6046Wouldst thou know, sinner, what thou art?
6046Wouldst thou then know this throne of grace, where God sits to hear prayers and give grace?
6046Wouldst thou willingly hold out, stand to the last, and be more than a conqueror?
6046Wouldst thou, then, know the greatest things of God?
6046Wouldst thou, with all thy heart, be saved by Jesus Christ?
6046Yea, I say again, if judgment must begin at them, will it not make thee think, What shall become of me?
6046Yea, and if he ask me, Why I came home no sooner?
6046Yea, and it has its followers ready at its heels continually to blow its applause abroad, saying,''Who will show us any[ other] good?''
6046Yea, and why is death suffered to slay the body?
6046Yea, are they not hurtful in the day of grace?
6046Yea, canst thou appeal to the Lord Jesus, who knoweth perfectly the very inmost thought of thy heart, that this is true?
6046Yea, canst thou say, My soul, my soul waiteth upon God, my soul thirsteth for Him, my soul followeth hard after him?
6046Yea, dost thou not vehemently desire to desire to depart and to be with Christ?
6046Yea, hath the truth itself bestowed it upon us, and shall those to whom it is given, even given by Scripture of truth, be yet deprived thereof?
6046Yea, if the works of a sanctified man are blameworthy, how shall the works of a bad man set him clear in the eyes of Divine justice?
6046Yea, is it not meet that to every one they should confess what sorry ones they are?
6046Yea, is it not reason that in all things we should study his exaltation here, since he in all things contrives our honour and glory in heaven?
6046Yea, open thy heart, and take this man, not into judgment, but into mercy with thee?
6046Yea, suppose the child should now, through ignorance, cry, and say, This man is now no more my father; is he, therefore, now no more his father?
6046Yea, the passover being to be eaten on the even of his sufferings, with what desires did he desire to eat it with his disciples?
6046Yea, what a word of worth, and goodness, and blessedness, is it to him that lies continually upon the wrath of a guilty conscience?
6046Yea, what do you think John desired, when he cried out to Christ to come quickly?
6046Yea, what shall we say of such that are the inventors and promoters of wickedness, as of oaths, beastly talk, or the like?
6046Yea, what should they do among that company that are saved alone by grace, through the redemption that is in Jesus Christ?
6046Yea, what works of that man doth God impute to him that he yet justifies as ungodly?
6046Yea, wherefore hath God also given it out that there is none other name given to men under heaven whereby we must be saved?
6046Yea, why is he commanded to let it be so, if the people would bow and fall kindly under him, and heartily implore his grace without it?
6046Yea,"how oft is the candle of the wicked put out?"
6046Yes; for I think if I were deceived before, if I were comforted by a spirit of delusion before, why may it not be so again?
6046Yet the question is, Are they absolutely or conditionally promised?
6046Yet, hast thou fallen?
6046You may ask me, What is it to come boldly?
6046You may ask me, what those things are?
6046You may ask, How should I know those shepherds?
6046You read they come weeping and mourning, and with tears; they knock and they cry for mercy; but what did tears avail?
6046You will say, How should I know that?
6046[ 15] Was this love of God extended to him because of his personal virtues?
6046[ 163] Can a man enter upon the work of the ministry from a better school than this?
6046[ 17] But is he now quit?
6046[ 17] Can it be imagined that when the wicked are in this distress, but that they will desire to be saved?
6046[ 217] Mr. Wingate asked Bunyan why he did not follow his calling and go to church?
6046[ 21] What do all their acts declare, but this, that they either know not God, or fear not what he can do unto them?
6046[ 24] Seest thou the poor?
6046[ 25] The trial we have before God is of otherguise importance,[26] it concerns our eternal happiness or misery; and yet dare we affront him?
6046[ 2] He asked the constable what we did, where we were met together, and what we had with us?
6046[ 31] And how many times are they that fear God said to be delivered both by God and his holy angels?
6046[ 338]''Why was the brazen laver made of the women''s looking- glasses?
6046[ 33] What is this to me, O law, that thou accusest me, and sayest that I have committed many sins?
6046[ 38] But is our present need all the need that we are like to have, and the present work all the work that we have to do in the world?
6046[ 39] Will it be comfort to thee to see the Saviour turn Judge?
6046[ 5] The genuine disciple"who thinketh no evil"will say, Can this be so now?
6046[ 5] Where is the man, except he be a willful perverter of Divine truth, who can charge the doctrines of grace with licentiousness?
6046[ 6] Would you be ready to die in peace?
6046[ How should we strive?]
6046[ WHAT ARE THE DESIRES OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN?]
6046[ WHO IS THE RIGHTEOUS MAN?]
6046[ Why should we strive?]
6046a promise that declares, yea, that engageth Christ Jesus to open his heart to receive the coming sinner?
6046a promise that looks at the first moving of the heart after Jesus Christ?
6046afraid to go to Joseph''s house?
6046all who?
6046and again, He beholds the proud afar off?
6046and again,"O death, where is thy sting?
6046and also how God doth make a man righteous with it?
6046and are notions and whimsies of such credit with thee that thou must leave the foundation to follow them?
6046and are you stronger than He?
6046and art thou for ever resolved so to do?
6046and canst thou find in thy heart to labour to lay more sins upon His back?
6046and comes as it were to the borders of doubt, saying,''Who shall deliver me?''
6046and falsify their words for thee?
6046and fears as he desires to fear God''s name?
6046and from whence would the flaming flame ascend highest, and make the most roaring noise?
6046and how could Abel be yet pleasing in his sight, for the sake of his own righteousness, when it is plain that Abel had not yet done good works?
6046and how if all our faith, and Christ, and Scriptures, should be but a think- so too?
6046and how?
6046and if to two, why not to four, and so to eight?
6046and in Thy name have cast out devils?"
6046and in thy name done many wonderful works?"
6046and in thy name done many wonderful works?"
6046and in thy name have cast out devils?
6046and in thy name have cast out devils?
6046and is God''s love and care of the salvation of the souls of sinners infinitely greater than is their own care for their own souls?
6046and loves as he desires to love?
6046and shall I count anything too dear for Him?
6046and so, consequently, say unto God,"Depart from us, for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways; or, What is the Almighty that we should serve him?
6046and that eternal life with God''s favour, is better than a temporal life in God''s displeasure?
6046and that made the jailer cry out, and that with great trembling of soul,"Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
6046and the company of God, Christ, saints, and angels, be better than the company of Cain, Judas, Balaam, with the devils in the furnace of fire?
6046and to say now, Lord, be merciful to me, a sinner?
6046and to what did they make him stoop?
6046and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?"
6046and what course should I take to be delivered from this sad and troublesome condition?
6046and what fruits in all their labour?
6046and what is the criterion of Christian charity, except it be''zeal for the salvation of others in his heart?''
6046and what is the reason of that, but a persuasion that there is no help for him in God?
6046and what profit should we have if we pray unto him?''
6046and what still wilt thou further do, if mercy, and blood and grace doth not prevent thee?
6046and when it is committed?
6046and where is the place of my rest?
6046and where, when He speaketh of them, doth He express a communion that they have with Him by the similitude of conjugal love?
6046and whether the holy Scriptures were not rather a fable, and cunning story, than the holy and pure Word of God?
6046and why I did not content myself with following my calling?
6046and why art thou disquieted within me?
6046and why art thou disquieted within me?
6046and why did he so long for it, but of desire to do us good?
6046and why dost Thou pass such a sad sentence of condemnation upon us?
6046and why may we not go to Christ in the name of the Father, as well as to the Father in the name of Christ?
6046and why must he make his arrows sharp, and all, that the heart may with this sword and these arrows be shot, wounded, and made to bleed?
6046and will he judge a man just that is a sinner?
6046and yet all this is included in this word saved, and in the answer to that question,"Are there few that be saved?"
6046and, I say, as I said before, in whom is it, light, like so to shine, as in the souls of great sinners?
6046and,''Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?''
6046and,''What wouldst thou have me do?''
6046any him that cometh to thee?
6046are not the things that are eternal best?
6046are these the effects of a purblind spirit?
6046are these the tokens of a blessed man?
6046are they not rather the fruits of an eagle- eyed confidence?
6046are we better than they?
6046are we better than they?
6046are we stronger than He?''
6046are ye made to be taken and destroyed?
6046are you not ashamed of your doings?
6046arise: why standest thou still?
6046art thou one of them that hast cast off fear?
6046art thou weary?
6046art thou willing?
6046because Christ is our pattern, is he not our passover?
6046but how much is there of it?''
6046but how shall I come by them?
6046can the floods drown it?
6046can these be possessed with this grace of fear?
6046canst thou give no better counsel touching those whom God hath wounded, than to send them to the ordinances of hell for help?
6046canst thou imagine that such a gnat, a flea, a pismire as thou art, can take and possess the heavens, and mantle thyself up in the eternal glories?
6046canst thou judge no better?
6046cast a world behind thy back for the welfare of a soul?
6046count convictions for sin, mournings for sin, and repentance for sin, melancholy?
6046did they now choose him to be their king?
6046did they say, did they do nothing while they sat before the throne?
6046did you see how I turned again to those vanities from which some time before I fell?
6046do they not tend to surfeit the heart, and to alienate a man and his mind from the things that are better?
6046do you design the glory of God, in the salvation of your soul?
6046do you not understand that God is resolved to have the mastery one way or another?
6046dost thou know what thou art?
6046dost thou not know that thou by so doing deferrest the coming of thy dearest Lord?
6046dost thou think that God, Christ, Prophets, and Scriptures, will all lie for thee?
6046doth his coming to Jesus Christ offend thee?
6046doth his forsaking of his sins and pleasures offend thee?
6046doth his pursuing of his own salvation offend thee?
6046doth not this man deserve to be ranked among the extravagant ones?
6046doth she give up her faith and hope, and return to that fear that begot the first bondage?
6046fear God and a liar, and one that cries for mercies to spend them upon thy lusts?
6046fear God and be proud, and covetous, a wine- bibber, and a riotous eater of flesh?
6046fear God without a change of heart and life?
6046fear God, and in a state of nature?
6046flow they not, think you, from faith of the finest sort, and are they not bred in the bosom of a truly mortified soul?
6046for a man must know before he does, else how should he divert[13] himself to do?
6046for providing friends to receive him to harbour when others should turn him out of their doors?
6046for to do things, but not in God''s fear, to what will it amount?
6046has God bestowed a contrite spirit upon thee?
6046hast thou cried out?
6046hast thou cried?
6046hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not?
6046hath it ears?
6046hath it eyes?
6046have they not in them power to loose the bands of nature, and to harden the soul against sorrow?
6046how came the prophet by this sight?
6046how canst thou deal so unkindly with such a sweet Lord Jesus?
6046how doth he behave himself in his presence?
6046how he found that which some of his children sought and missed?
6046how much of his Spirit, and the grace of his Word?
6046how poorly will these be able to plead the virtues of the law to which they have cleaved, when God shall answer them,''Whom dost thou pass in beauty?
6046how readest thou?
6046how shall I come at Christ?
6046if it were not for these three or four words, now how might I be comforted?
6046if, at any time, any of them are mentioned, how seemingly coldly doth the record of scripture present them to us?
6046in sinking into the bottom of the sea with company?
6046in the body of his flesh,[ that then must be first: to what?]
6046is all right with my soul?
6046is man such a fool as to believe things, and yet not look after them?
6046is sitting alone, pensive under God''s hand, reading the Scriptures, and hearing of sermons,& c., the way to be undone?
6046is the soul so precious a thing?
6046is the soul such an excellent thing, and is the loss thereof so unspeakably great?
6046is the soul such an excellent thing, and is the loss thereof so unspeakably great?
6046is there not life and mettle in them?
6046is thy heart still so stubborn as not to say yet,"Let us fear the Lord?"
6046it is the gift of the Father--"how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him( Luke 11:13)?
6046it was for sufferings; and why made he ready for them but because he saw they wrought out for him a''far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory?''
6046may not, therefore, the spirit of bondage be sent again to put me in fear, as at first?
6046must he save them all?
6046must ye utterly perish in your own corruptions?
6046must you mind this world to the damning of your souls?
6046nay, may they not both fall short?
6046none for his loving Son that has showed his love, and died for thee?
6046not fear in the day of evil?
6046not when the iniquity of thy heels compasseth thee about?
6046of works?
6046or a way for the lightning of thunder to cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is: on the wilderness wherein there is no man?''
6046or art thou none of those that should look after the salvation of their soul?
6046or can there be no salvation?
6046or dost think thou mayest lose thy soul, and save thyself?
6046or dost thou but dream thereof?
6046or dost thou think that thou shalt escape the judgment?
6046or doth grace teach you to plead for the flesh, or the making provision for the lusts thereof?
6046or has the day of grace been suffered to pass by never to return?
6046or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?''
6046or how is that?
6046or how would she frame an answer?
6046or if Christ is the throne of grace and mercy- seat, how doth he appear before God as sitting there, to sprinkle that now with his blood?
6046or if it so may be said; yet whether thou art one of them?
6046or in going to hell, in burning in hell, and in enduring the everlasting pains of hell, with company?
6046or must the effectualness of Christ''s merits, as touching our perseverance, be helped on by the doings of man?
6046or no forgiveness of sins--"If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted?"
6046or of restoring what he had oft taken away?
6046or shall we be base in life because God by grace hath secured us from wrath to come?
6046or shall we not much matter what manner of lives we live, because we are set free from the law of sin and death?
6046or that he was to be buried in Joseph''s sepulchre?
6046or that he will speak for them to God for whom he will not plead against the devil?
6046or that when the gate of mercy is shut up in wrath, he will at thy pleasure, and to the reversing of his own counsel, open it again to thee?
6046or that your prayers come from the braying, panting, and longing of your hearts?
6046or the tabernacle made with corruptible things, to the body of Christ, or heaven itself?
6046or those either who are so far off from sense of, and shame for, sin, that it is the only thing they hug and embrace?
6046or to say, all this is mine, but have nothing to show for it?
6046or to see this great appearance of this great God, and the Lord Jesus Christ?
6046or was not this man like to be a gainer by so doing?
6046or what advantage can he get by his thus vexing and troubling the children of the Most High?
6046or what is a remnant of wheat to the whole harvest?
6046or what is he?
6046or what profit have we if we keep his ways?"
6046or what profit shall I have if I keep his commandments?
6046or who are they that by this exhortation are called upon to come?
6046or who did Christ come into the world to save, but the chief of sinners?
6046or will that penny that supplied my want the other day, I say, will the same penny also, without a supply, supply my wants today?
6046or will that seasonable shower which fell last year, be, without supplies, a seasonable help to the grain and grass that is growing now?
6046or will the law slay both him and us, and that for the same transgression?
6046or will you hate your life, and save it?
6046or will you not mind your callings at all?
6046or will you shun the cross to save your lives, and so run the danger of eternal damnation?
6046or wilt thou be desperate, and venture all?
6046or wouldst thou know if thou hast?
6046or''him,''by believing thou neither wilt nor canst?
6046or, Can the merits of the Lord Jesus reach, according to the law of heaven, a man in this condition?
6046or, as he was in the flesh?
6046or, because we should in these things follow his steps, died he not for our sins?
6046or, by acts and works of the flesh?
6046or, in other words,''am I born again?''
6046or, in the humble hope that your course is accomplished, are you patiently waiting the heavenly messenger?
6046or, what is a handful out of the rest of the world?
6046or, what need you trouble us with these nice distinctions?
6046poor man, what wilt thou do when these three things beset thee?
6046pull no longer; why shouldest thou be thine own executioner?
6046room, I say, for man''s righteousness, as to his acceptance and justification?
6046saith Satan; why, that will I. Ay, saith he, but who can do it, and prevail?
6046saith the Lord; shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?"
6046saith the Lord; will ye not tremble at my presence?"
6046saith the backslider that is returned, did you see how I left my God?
6046saith the child, pray do not hurt me: I then have replied, Canst thou do nothing with this finger?
6046says the honourable man, must I take mercy upon no higher consideration than the thief on the cross?
6046seest thou the fatherless?
6046seest thou thy foe in distress?
6046set more by thy soul than by all the world?
6046shall Christ become a drudge for you; and will you be drudges for the devil?
6046shall I threaten them?
6046shall not the worthiness of the Son of God be sufficient to save from the sin of man?
6046shall the desire of the righteous be granted?
6046shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
6046shall we sin that grace may abound?
6046should we pray for faith, for justification by grace, and a truly sanctified heart?
6046sin, what art thou?
6046so was he: are we tempted to commit idolatry, and to worship the devil?
6046so was he: are we tempted to murder ourselves?
6046so was he: are we tempted with the bewitching vanities of this world?
6046such privileges as these?
6046teach men to put God and his Word out of their minds, by running to merry company, by running to the world, by gossiping?
6046than He that shook hands with the Father in making of the covenant?
6046that he was to be crowned with thorns?
6046that he was to be crucified between two thieves, and to be pierced till blood and water came out of his side?
6046that he was to be scourged of the soldiers?
6046that is, he is so;''is he a pleasant child?''
6046that remember thy triumphant victory?
6046that the damned shall never be burned out in hell?
6046that word came suddenly upon me,"What shall we then say to these things?
6046the desires of the flesh, or the lusts of the spirit, whose side art thou of?
6046then how should I come?
6046then they may be coming to him, for aught you know; and why will ye be worse than the brute, to speak evil of the things you know not?
6046thou thinkest to escape the fear; but what wilt thou do with the pit?
6046thy God has bidden thee''open thy mouth wide''; he has bid thee open it wide, and promised, saying,''And I will fill it''; and wilt thou not desire?
6046to believe great things, and yet not to concern himself with them?
6046to hear this trump of God?
6046to see him that wept and died for the sin of the world now ease his mind on Christ- abhorring sinners by rendering to them the just judgment of God?
6046to the salvation of the soul?
6046to truck+ with the devil?''
6046was made the curse of God for me?

6049A work did I say?
6049ALL; take it where you will, and in what place you will,''All is profitable'': For what?
6049Afraid of what?
6049After I had been thus for some considerable time, another thought came into my mind; and that was, whether we were of the Israelites, or no?

6049After this, she thought she saw two very ill- favoured ones standing by her bedside, and saying, What shall we do with this woman?
6049After this, that other doubt did come with strength upon me, But how if the day of grace should be past and gone?
6049Again I ask, Hast thou considered what truth, as to matter of fact, there is in the things whereof thou standest accused?
6049Again, But do you not follow them with clamours and out- cries, that their communion, even amongst themselves, is unwarrantable?
6049Again, But who has the perfect knowledge of all these things?
6049Again, Did not Moses write of the Saviour that was to come afterwards into the world?
6049Again, How basely do they behave themselves, how unlike are they to win, that think it enough to keep company with the hindmost?
6049Again, Is it so, that no man comes to Jesus Christ by the will, wisdom, and power of man, but by the gift, promise, and drawing of the Father?
6049Again, Was the man a good man?
6049Again, What kind of righteousness of thine, is this, that standeth in a misplacing, and so consequently in a misesteeming of God''s commands?
6049Again, are the people of God to behave themselves to the glory of God the Father?
6049Again, how did Satan ply it against Peter, when he desired to have him, that he might sift him as wheat?
6049Again, if Christ be the altar of incense, how stands he as a priest by that altar to offer the prayers of all the saints thereon, before the throne?
6049Again, if thy parents, and thou also, be godly, how happy a thing is this?
6049Again, if you say he hath no other body but his church, then I ask, What that was that was taken down from the cross?
6049Again, is there such a length?
6049Again, see Peter''s testimony of this Son of Mary; When Jesus asked his disciples, whom say ye that I am?
6049Again, shall God, who is the truth, Say there is heaven and hell And shall men play that trick of youth To say, But who can tell?
6049Again, suppose the father should scourge and chasten the son for such offence, is the relation between them therefore dissolved?
6049Again, what a continuation of this alarm was there also at the birth of Jesus, which was about three months after John Baptist was born?
6049Again, what needed the woman to have a place of shelter in the wilderness, when there was no war made against her?
6049Again, would the people learn to be covetous?
6049Again,"Whether I am come to one of the days of the thousand years?"
6049Again,"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
6049Again,''If they hear not Moses and the prophets,''& c. As if he had said, Thou wouldst have me send one from the dead unto them; what needs that?
6049Again,''Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?
6049Again,''What is man, that he should be clean?
6049Again; Hast thou found a failure in all others that might have been entertained to plead thy cause?
6049Again; when Esau threatened to slay his brother, Rebecca sent him away, saying,"Why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?"
6049Again; why not live upon Christ alway?
6049Ah, Mind, why didst thou do those things That now do work my woe?
6049Ah, Will, why was thou thus inclin''d Me ever to undo?
6049Alas, but how shall I come?
6049All God''s children are criers-- cannot you be quiet without you have a bellyful of the milk of God''s Word?
6049All covetousness is idolatry; but what is that, or what will you call it, when men are religious for filthy lucre''s sake?
6049All our anxious inquiries should be, Is Emmanuel in Heart- castle?
6049All they,''that is, that are in hell, shall say,''Art thou also become weak as we?
6049All this is made to appear by the angels that fell; for when fallen, what was heaven to them?
6049All this is taught us by the spoons; for what need is there of spoons where there is nothing to eat but strong meat?
6049All this, what does it argue, I say, but thy diffidence of God?
6049Also before his friends, how bold was he?
6049Also that he may deny to give them that grace that would preserve them from sin, without being guilty of their damnation?
6049Also to Simon Magus for but undervaluing of it?
6049Also when the mariners inquired of Jonah, saying,"What is thine occupation, and whence comest thou?
6049Also whether reprobation be the cause of condemnation?
6049Also your neighbours are diligent for things that will perish; and will you be slothful for things that will endure for ever?
6049Also, if he ask me, What is become of the portion of goods that he gave me?
6049Also, what if she had laid wait round about him, to espy if he was not otherwise behind her back than he was before her face?
6049Also, when Job had God present with him, making manifest the goodness of his great heart to him, what doth he say?
6049Also, wouldst thou know what a sad thing it is for any to turn their backs upon the gospel of Jesus Christ?
6049Am I a new creature in Him?
6049Am I coming, indeed, to Jesus Christ?
6049Am I in a case to be thus near mine end?
6049Am I one of the elect?
6049Amaziah having sinned against the Lord, he sends to him a prophet to reprove him; but Amaziah says,''Forbear, why shouldest thou be smitten?''
6049And I ask, Why doth the wife-- that is, as the loving hind-- love to be in the presence of her husband?
6049And I say again, if one sin, the least sin deserveth all these things, what thinkest thou do all thy sins deserve?
6049And I say again, this is the work of a Creator, and a Creator can maintain it in its gallantry, FOOTNOTE?
6049And I say again, wherefore has he so plainly told us of his greatness, and of what he can do?
6049And Jesus said to them,''Why are ye troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?''
6049And Paul asked them, Whether they had yet''received the Holy Ghost?''
6049And Paul, when he said, he could wish that himself were accursed from Christ, for the vehement desire that he had that the Jews might be saved?
6049And a new heart and a new man must have objects of delight that are new, and like himself;''Old things are passed away''; why?
6049And again( Gal 3:2,5 compared together),''Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law,[ saith the Apostle] or by the hearing of faith?''
6049And again, What he hath made crooked, who can make straight?
6049And again, some of them that are for infant baptism die for that as a truth?
6049And again, where Judas( not Iscariot) said; Lord, how is it, that thou wilt manifest thyself to us, and not unto the world?
6049And again,"Beware of men,"& c. when I had answered him, that blessed be God I was well, he said, What is the occasion of your being here?
6049And again,"If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
6049And again,"If thou, Lord, shouldst mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?"
6049And again,"Whom shall I send, and who will go for US?"
6049And again,''Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?
6049And again,''My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God, when shall I come and appear before God?''
6049And again,''When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?''
6049And albeit, saith Satan, thou prayest sometimes, yet is not thy heart possessed with a belief that God will not regard thee?
6049And albeit, saith Satan, thou prayest sometimes, yet is not thy heart possessed with a belief that God will not regard thee?
6049And all the rest they baptized, were they not left free to join themselves for their convenience and edification?
6049And are not all His holy doctrines also stamped with the same Divine sanction?
6049And are not these pleasant sights?
6049And are not you the same?
6049And are they willing, God helping them, to run hazards for his name, for the love they bear to him?
6049And are we not in him, in him, even as so considered?
6049And are you able thus to imitate him?
6049And are you willing to stand by their judgment in the case?
6049And art thou now as perfectly innocent as ever was Jesus Christ?
6049And as he went down deeper, he said,''Grave, where is thy victory?''
6049And before I go further, what might I yet say to fasten this reason upon the truly gracious soul?
6049And by what is this righteousness by thee applied to thyself?
6049And can a holy and just God require that we give thanks to him in his name, if it was not effectually done for us by him?
6049And can death, or sin, or the grave hold us, when God saith,''Give up?''
6049And can it be imagined that Christ alone shall be like the foolish ostrich, hardened against his young, yea, against his members?
6049And can you prove it by the scripture?
6049And canst thou tell me who saves thee?
6049And consequently how could he lift up his face unto God?
6049And could you at any time, with ease, get off the guilt of sin,[275] when, by any of these ways, it came upon you?
6049And did ever God send an ordinance to be a pest and plague to his people?''
6049And did he do it before he had need to do it?
6049And did he do thus indeed?
6049And did he license any one, and if so, who, to alter, add to, or diminish from it?
6049And did he not behave himself valiantly?
6049And did none of these things discourage you?
6049And did the Father reveal His Son to you?
6049And did the old man give him money to set up with?
6049And did they make them welcome?
6049And did you ask him what man this was, and how you must be justified by Him?
6049And did you do as you were bidden?
6049And did you endeavour to mend?
6049And did you not then believe, and do you not still believe, that you were true members of Christ, though less perfect?
6049And did you pray to God that He would bless your counsel to them?
6049And did you presently fall under the power of this conviction?
6049And did you think he spake true?
6049And did you think yourself well then?
6049And did you, said he, when I came up against this town of Mansoul, heartily wish that I might not have the victory over you?
6049And didst thou fear the lake and pit?
6049And do I desire to be found in Him; knowing by the Word, and feeling by the teaching of His Spirit, that I am totally lost in myself?
6049And do the things that truly are divine, Before thee more than gold or rubies shine?
6049And do they in thy conscience bear more sway To govern thee in faith and holiness, Than thou canst with thy heart and mouth express?
6049And do you think that the words of your book are certainly true?
6049And do you think the Lord will sit still, as I may say, and let thy tongue run as it lists, and yet never bring you to an account for the same?
6049And dost thou count this a corrupted grain of Babylon''s treasure?
6049And dost thou desire this medicine?
6049And dost thou indeed say,"Hallowed be thy name"with thy heart?
6049And dost thou not do the deeds of the flesh?
6049And dost thou not rejoice in secret, that thou art the same that thou ever wert?
6049And dost thou think that these are but threatenings, or that our King has not power to execute his words?
6049And dost thou think, this is, indeed, the way to be righteous?
6049And dost thou think, wast thou there now, that thou art able to wrestle with the judgment of God?
6049And doth God come to the sinner, and the sinner again go to God in a saving way by him, and by him only?
6049And doth all this stir up in thy heart some breathing after Him?
6049And doth he not make his pots according to his pleasure?
6049And doth he take charge of them as a Creator?
6049And doth immodest apparel, with stretched- out necks, naked breasts, a made speech, and mincing gaits,& c., argue mortification of lusts?
6049And doth it not also make thee more earnestly to groan after the Lord Jesus?
6049And doth not the Lord as well require the sign of baptism now, as of circumcision then?
6049And doth this demonstrate the reformation of your church?
6049And doth this look like a visible church- state?
6049And fools hate knowledge?''
6049And for the opening of this we must consider, first, How and through Whom this grace doth come to be, first, free to us, and, secondly, unchangeable?
6049And from sense and reason they will have ground to think so; for who now is left in the world any more to make head against them?
6049And from the sense and feeling of torment, he would give, yea, what would he not give, in exchange for his soul?
6049And further, said he, can not one man teach another to pray?
6049And gain, how came it thither, how got the soul possession of it, while it was unjustified?
6049And good reason; for since they would not with us come to him now they have time, why should they stand with us when judgment is come?
6049And have these desires put thy soul to the flight?
6049And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?"
6049And he said, I know not: Am I my brother''s keeper?"
6049And he said, how long Would it have been, e''er you had understood This thing, had you not with my heifer plow''d?
6049And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither, not having a wedding- garment?''
6049And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman?
6049And here those sayings are of their own natural force:''How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation?''
6049And his name not be but of a common regard on that day?
6049And how are they to consider of themselves, even then when they first are apprehensive of their need of this righteousness?
6049And how bitterly did David mourn for his son, who died in his wickedness?
6049And how can a man that went last time out of his closet to be naught, have the face to come thither again?
6049And how can that be, if he saveth not to the uttermost them that come unto God by him?
6049And how cold is the love of many at this day?
6049And how could the people believe and embrace it?
6049And how could we have seen it to purpose, had not God left some to themselves?
6049And how did he carry it there?
6049And how did his good wife take it, when she saw that he had no amendment, but that he returned with the dog to his vomit, to his old courses again?
6049And how did you do then?
6049And how do they deceive souls?
6049And how doth God the Holy Ghost save thee?
6049And how else could they obey that command that bids them rejoice in tribulation, and glorify God in the fires?
6049And how hath Christ lightened every man if not within him?"
6049And how if I should not?
6049And how if thou shouldst come but one quarter of an hour too late?
6049And how is this resented by them?
6049And how kindly did our Lord Jesus take it, to see the little children run tripping before him, and crying, Hosannah to the Son of David?
6049And how little conscience is there made of prayer between God and the soul in secret, unless the Spirit of supplication be there to help?
6049And how many did Samson slay with the jaw- bone of an ass?
6049And how must it be reckoned to them?
6049And how say you?
6049And how sayest thou now?
6049And how sayest thou, for to name no more, dost thou with thy affection and conscience thus question?
6049And how sayest thou?
6049And how sayest thou?
6049And how seldom do they trouble their heads, to have their minds taken up with thoughts of the better?
6049And how then?
6049And how then?
6049And how was He revealed unto you?
6049And how were they served that are mentioned in the 13th of Luke,''for staying till the door was shut?''
6049And how, then, can he come to him by Christ?
6049And if God''s will should be done on earth as it is in heaven, must it not be thy ruin?
6049And if Satan meets thee, and asketh, Whither goest thou?
6049And if he breaks up one of these bags, who can tell what he can do?
6049And if he goes about to do this, is not the law of the land against him?
6049And if he hath said it, will he not make it good, I mean even thy salvation?
6049And if he knows not the Father and the Son, how can he come?
6049And if he saith, See, ye"blind that have eyes,"who shall hinder it?
6049And if it be a blessing to have this fear, is it not wisdom to increase in it?
6049And if it be asked, But what will become of the threatening wherewith he threatened the offender?
6049And if not to think of him, while at a distance, how can you endure to be in his presence?
6049And if our sun seems angry, hides his face, Shall it go down, shall night possess this place?
6049And if so, Whether they might not obtain at least, some little of the mercy, as well as those women?
6049And if so, did he give His church any other than that most beautiful and comprehensive form called the Lord''s Prayer?
6049And if so, how can their service to God have anything like acceptation from the hand of God, that is done, not in, but without the fear of God?
6049And if so, what follows?
6049And if so, what shall we then think of the soul for which is prepared, and that of God, the most rich and excellent vessel in the world?
6049And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?"
6049And if there is so much in the pride of his countenance, what is there, think you, in the pride of his heart?
6049And if these be acts that speak a condescension, what will you count of Christ''s standing up as an Advocate to plead the cause of his people?
6049And if they are mute when dealt with by vessels of clay, what will they do when they shall be rebuked by the flames of a devouring fire?
6049And if they shall not escape that neglect, then how shall they escape that reject and turn their back upon''so great a salvation?''
6049And if this gentle check will not do, then read the other, Shall we say, Let us do evil that good may come?
6049And if thou dost, thou wilt run into the bosom of Christ and of God, and then what harm will that do thee?
6049And if thou shouldest be so now, what hast thou gained thereby?
6049And if we know not every one of all these things to the full, how shall we know to the full the love of Christ which saveth us from them all?
6049And if ye be followers of that which is good, who will harm you( 1 Peter 3:13)?
6049And if you ask, How is it possible that this should be done?
6049And if your brethren only you salute, What more than they do ye?
6049And if, as unto Solomon, God should Propound to thee, What wouldst thou have?
6049And in that he saith''There remains a rest,''referring to that of David, what is it, if it signifies not, that the other rests remain not?
6049And in the land of peace thou trustedst, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?''
6049And indeed so he does with"Adam, where art thou?"
6049And indeed what joy or what rejoicing is like rejoicing here?
6049And indeed, take this away, and what ground can there be laid for any man to persevere in good works?
6049And indeed, the soul that doth thus by practice, though with his mouth-- as who doth not?
6049And into what church did Philip baptize the eunuch, or the apostle the jailor and his house?
6049And is all this no good?
6049And is hope, that this day is approaching, a reviving cordial to thee?
6049And is it not reason that they who did this horrid villany, should have their doings laid before their faces upon the tables of their heart?
6049And is it possible it should be forgotten, or that, by it, our joy, light, and heaven should not be made the sweeter to all eternity?
6049And is it thus with thy soul indeed?
6049And is not Boaz, with whose maids thou wast, One of the nearest kinsmen that thou hast?
6049And is not his will the only rule of his mercy?
6049And is not this a needy time; doth not such an one want abundance of grace?
6049And is not this love worthy of all acceptation at the hands and hearts of all coming sinners?
6049And is not this the very ground of thy hoping that God will save thee from the wrath to come?
6049And is not this, said he, a shame?
6049And is that all?
6049And is that all?
6049And is that within the creature, or without, that worketh the new birth?"
6049And is there no other way to the Father but by his blood, and through the veil, that is to say, his flesh?
6049And is there not a great deal in it?
6049And is there not all the reason in the world for this?
6049And is there toward us love in Christ that passeth knowledge?
6049And is this all?
6049And is this to keep the first table; yea, the first branch of that table, which saith,"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God?"
6049And it was so indeed, thought Mr. Badman; was my troubles only the effects of my distemper, and because ill vapours got up into my brain?
6049And let me ask further, is not he a madman who, being loaded with combustible matter, will run headlong into the fire upon a bravado?
6049And look, did not I tell you?
6049And may he not, without he give offence to thee, lay hold by electing love and mercy on whom himself pleaseth?
6049And must baptism be such a rock of offence to professors, that very few will enquire after it, or submit to it?
6049And must those that shall live to see those days, rejoice when these things begin to come to pass?
6049And must we be all alone?
6049And must you needs be upon the extremes?
6049And now I add, Is not this to deliver them to the devil( 1 Cor 5), or to put them to shame before all that see your acts?
6049And now I ask what kind of christian correspondency you have with them?
6049And now I ask, What was the reason that God continued his presence with this church notwithstanding this transgression?
6049And now had he had a heart to do for Mansoul, what could he do for it or wherein could he be profitable to her?
6049And now having said this much, wherein have I derogated from the glory and holiness of Christ?
6049And now is it not to be wondered at, and are we not to be affected herewith, saying, And wilt thou set thine eye upon such an one?
6049And now what would a man give in exchange for his soul?
6049And now, Adam, what do you mean to do?
6049And now, behold, when Jacob had been told That there was corn in Egypt to be sold, He said unto his sons, Why stand ye thus?
6049And now, what can this accuser say?
6049And now, when body and soul are thus united, who can imagine what glory they both possess?
6049And now,''what shall a man,''what would a man, but what can a man that has lost his soul, himself, and his all,''give in exchange for his soul?''
6049And observe, it is not said, that Noah shut the door, but the Lord shut him in: If God shuts in or out, who can alter it?
6049And of what nation?
6049And on the other hand, how often has the disjointing of the body, and the breakings thereof, occasioned the expiration of the spirit?
6049And p. 26. where in answer to this question of mine; Why did the Man Christ hang on the cross on Mount Calvary?
6049And said, moreover, that they could not wait upon me any longer; but said to me, Then you confess the indictment, do you not?
6049And sayest thou so, my dear?
6049And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him?"
6049And shall not I?
6049And shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive be delivered?
6049And shall we not imitate our Lord, nor the church that was immediately acted[21] by him in this, and the churches their fellows?
6049And shall we not take that notice thereof as to follow the Lord Jesus and the churches herein?
6049And she said, Come, James, canst thou tell me who made thee?
6049And she''shall be glad for them''; for what?
6049And since he can be both merciful and just in the salvation of sinners, why may he not also save them from death and hell?
6049And so I may say, What think you of ten thousand more besides?
6049And so doing, has it not also accommodated thee with all the aforenamed conveniences?
6049And so with Paul, who tremblingly said,''Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?''
6049And suppose they were the truly godly that made the first assault, can they be blamed?
6049And that if they had light therein, they would as willingly do it as you?
6049And that is according to the whole stream of scripture: For by one offering, What was that?
6049And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith?
6049And the ministers of the gospel they also cry, Lord,"who hath believed our report?
6049And the reason is, because he that envieth a sinner, hath forgotten himself, that he is as bad; and how can he then fear God?
6049And the reasons are weighty, for by them he proves the tree is not good; how then can it yield good fruit?
6049And the same I say of his Advocate''s office- What is an advocate without the exercise of his office?
6049And the scorners delight in their scorning?
6049And then he answers himself:''Is not destruction to the wicked, and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?''
6049And then what doth he get thereby but loss and damage?
6049And then, I pray you, what is left unto God, and what can he call his own?
6049And then, to engage us in our soul to the duty, he adds one of his wonderful mercies to the world, for a motive,"Fear ye not me?"
6049And then,& c. And why was not this done on the seventh day sabbath?
6049And then,''what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind?''
6049And they knew it: Why, did they not know it before?
6049And this is one ground( at least) why he hanged on the cross,& c. Ha Friend?
6049And this is that which Peter intends when he saith,"And if ye be followers of that which is good, who will harm you?"
6049And this leads me first to inquire into what, by these words the apostle must, of necessity, presuppose?
6049And thou liar, what wilt thou do?
6049And thus much doth this man Christ Jesus testify unto us where he saith he shall glorify me; mark,"He shall glorify;"( saith the Son of Mary)but how?
6049And to distressed Jonah, said the Lord, Dost thou well to be angry for the gourd?
6049And to put a question upon thy objection- What is a sacrifice without a priest, and what is a priest without a sacrifice?
6049And was not there a time when you did not so well understand the nature and extent of pride and covetousness as now you do?
6049And was that all?
6049And was there not in all these things love, and love that was infinite?
6049And was this all?
6049And were they all served so?
6049And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?
6049And what angels but those that ministered to him here in the day of his humiliation?

6049And what matter can be found in the soul for humility to work by so well, as by a sight that I have been and am an abominable sinner?
6049And what more fearful than the bottomless pit of hell?
6049And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous, as all this law,''said Moses, which I set before you this day?''
6049And what need of an Advocate''s office to be exercised, if Christ, as sacrifice and Priest, was thought sufficient by God?
6049And what need was there of any of this, if Paul could, as he would, have departed from iniquity?
6049And what revenge hast thou in thy heart against every thought of disobedience?
6049And what said Faithful to you then?
6049And what said he then?

6049And what said the neighbours to him?
6049And what saith the words before the text but the same--''For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?''
6049And what saw you else in the way?
6049And what sayest thou to thy perverting, knowingly, the right purport and intent of the law?

6049And whereas you ask me,"What is that which worketh faith?
6049And whereas you ask me,"do they that are born of God commit sin?"
6049And whereas you ask, What is the sight of God?
6049And wherefore doth he thus, but to beget an expectation in them of their salvation and deliverance?

6049And why might they not be a type of gospel sermons?
6049And why not now, as well as formerly?
6049And why shall he that doth most for God in this world, enjoy most of him in that which is to come?

6049And why so?
6049And why so?
6049And why so?
6049And why then should not we have also in reserve for Christ?
6049And why thus consider, but that a door might be opened for hope to exercise itself upon God by this?
6049And why, but because God himself maintains the enmity?
6049And why, to show, by these, the exceeding riches of his grace to the ages to come, through Christ Jesus?
6049And why?
6049And why?
6049And why?

6049And will he be a favourable no more?
6049And will not this, when they know it, yield them comfort?
6049And will their agreement of hell yield them comfort?
6049And will you, says Unbelief, in such a case as you now are, presume to come to Jesus Christ?
6049And wilt thou hang back or be sullen, because thou art none of the first?

6049And would I, as was said before, be thoroughly saved, to wit, from the filth as from the guilt?
6049And would it not be an insufferable thing?
6049And would you be doing this?
6049And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?''
6049And yet darest thou say to God, Our Father?
6049And yet dost thou out of thy blasphemous throat suffer these words to come, even our Father?
6049And yet who so idle as they in the time of their prosperity?
6049And you are sure he was of this opinion?
6049And you that were sometime alienated, and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled[ but how?]
6049And you ungodly children, how are your ungodly parents that lived and died ungodly, now in the pains of hell also?
6049And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath He reconciled,"how?
6049And"who hath required this at your hand?"
6049And''the thunder of his power who can understand?''
6049And''what and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?''

6049And, By what means have you so persevered therein?
6049And, Fourth, what it was for him to be raised unto Israel?
6049And, How got you into the way?
6049And, Sir, you, as all our neighbours know, are a very observing man, pray, therefore, what do you think of them?
6049And, Use First, Is there such breadth, and length, and depth, and height in God, for us?
6049And, What he did in the world?
6049And, are there no public Christians, or public christian meetings, but them of your way?
6049And, in reason, how could it be otherwise?
6049And, indeed, if people once say to God, by way of doubt,''Wherein hast thou loved us?''
6049And, listening still, she thought she heard another answer it, saying-- For why?
6049And, moreover, my brother, thou talkest of ease in the grave; but hast thou forgotten the hell, whither for certain the murderers go?
6049And, said Christiana to Mr. Great- heart, Sir, will you do as we?
6049And, therefore, what need have they that one should be sent unto them in another way?
6049And, whether there was a secret or mystery in this work containing the truth of some higher thing?
6049And,"O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever?"
6049And,"who shall separate us from the love of Christ"our Lord?
6049And,''Will ye rebel against the king?''
6049Answer, friend, dost thou put no difference betwixt the speaking of Christ without, and believing in Christ without?
6049Any thing but truth; but I would know how sincerely righteous they were that were justified without works?
6049Are God''s people a suffering people?
6049Are all the elect, the seed, the saved, the vessels of mercy, the chosen and peculiar?
6049Are great saints only to have the kingdom, and the glory everlasting?
6049Are great works only to be rewarded?
6049Are her plagues pleasant or easy to be borne?
6049Are his feet shod with the Gospel of peace?
6049Are his loins girt about with truth?
6049Are his ministers slothful in tendering this unto you?
6049Are his saints precious to them?
6049Are my prayers lost?
6049Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
6049Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
6049Are not even ye,"saith Paul,"in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
6049Are not my words verbatim these?
6049Are not some, yea the most, the children of the flesh, the rest, the lost, the vessels of wrath, of dishonour, and the children of perdition?
6049Are not the seven churches in Asia called by name of candlesticks?
6049Are not these therefore strong desires?
6049Are not these things rather a sign that the utter overthrow of the church of God is at the door?
6049Are not they part of the scriptures of truth?
6049Are not you commanded to keep out of the church all that are not circumcised?
6049Are not, now- a- days, the bulk of professors like those that''strain at a gnat and swallow a camel?''
6049Are our fruits meet for repentance?
6049Are the narratives of these mighty tempests in his spirit plain matters of fact?
6049Are the words of God called by the name of the fear of the Lord?
6049Are there any sins now that will fly upon this Saviour like so many lions, or raging devils, if He take in hand to redeem man?
6049Are there bowels in you that are wicked, and will they be wrought upon by an importuning beggar?
6049Are there yet any more sons in my womb, That may your husbands be in time to come?
6049Are these the tokens of a blessed man?"
6049Are these"spirits of just men made perfect"-the angel- ministering spirits which are sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
6049Are they enemies to Thee?
6049Are they lawful things which thou desirest?
6049Are they not all of equal authority?
6049Are they not death without, and unbelief within?
6049Are they purified, are they clean that name the name of Christ?
6049Are they so dreadful in their receipt and sentence?
6049Are they such things as thou takest pleasure in?
6049Are they tender of sinning against Jesus Christ?
6049Are they that are justified by Christ''s blood such as have need yet to be saved by his intercession?
6049Are they that are saved, saved by grace?
6049Are they that are saved, saved by grace?
6049Are they the glorified inhabitants of the Celestial City?
6049Are they things Divine, or things natural?
6049Are they things heavenly, or things earthly?
6049Are they things holy, or things unholy?
6049Are they to be the audible mouth there, before all, to God?
6049Are they to think, that they are righteous or sinners?
6049Are things thus ordered?
6049Are those that are already justified by the blood of Christ such as do still stand in need of being saved by his intercession?
6049Are those that are already justified by the blood of Christ yet such as have need of being saved by his intercession?
6049Are those that are already justified by the blood of Christ, such as do still stand in need of being saved by his intercession?
6049Are those that are justified by the blood of Christ such as, after that, have need of being saved by Christ''s intercession?
6049Are those that are justified by the blood of Christ such as, after that, have need to be saved by Christ''s intercession?
6049Are those that are justified by the blood of Christ such, after that, as have need also of saving by Christ''s intercession?
6049Are thy sins so dear, so sweet, so desireable, so profitable to thee, that thou wilt venture a burning in hell fire for them till thou art burnt out?
6049Are we for war?
6049Are we now almost got past the Enchanted Ground?
6049Are we profanely apt to judge of God harshly, as of one that would gather where he had not strawn?
6049Are we stronger than he?''
6049Are we tempted to distrust God?
6049Are we truly convinced of sin, and converted to Christ?
6049Are ye not CARNAL, CARNAL, CARNAL?
6049Are ye so foolish?
6049Are you a married man?
6049Are you a married man?
6049Are you at that door, my brother?
6049Are you brought out of the dark dungeon of this world into Christ?
6049Are you come out of it?
6049Are you commanded to reject them; If yea, where is it?
6049Are you going to the heavenly country?
6049Are you in affliction for your profession?
6049Are you not sensible that such a one As I, can certainly thereof make trial?
6049Are you not sorry for what you have done?
6049Are you so hasty?
6049Are you stronger than he that made the heavens, and that holdeth angels in everlasting chains?
6049Art become freakish?
6049Art bound for hell against all wind and weather?
6049Art bound for hell, against all wind and weather?
6049Art like to him, that needs must step a mile At every stride, or think it not worth while To follow Christ?
6049Art not able to conclude, that to be saved is better than to burn in hell?
6049Art not thou a murderer, a thief, a harlot, a witch, a sinner of the greatest size, and dost thou look for mercy now?
6049Art not thou a murderer, a thief, a harlot, a witch, a sinner of the greatest size, and dost thou look for mercy now?
6049Art not thou a murderer, a thief, a harlot, a witch, a sinner of the greatest size, and dost thou look for mercy now?
6049Art not thou a murderer, a thief, a harlot, a witch, a sinner of the greatest size, and dost thou look for mercy now?
6049Art one of those whose fears do go beyond Their faith?
6049Art thou a Publican?
6049Art thou a buyer, and do things grow dear?
6049Art thou a fish, O man, art thou a fish?
6049Art thou a fool in thyself?
6049Art thou a professor?
6049Art thou a seller, and do things grow dear?
6049Art thou a sinner of the first rate, of the biggest size?
6049Art thou almost like Elymas the sorcerer, that sought to turn the deputy from the faith?
6049Art thou also willing that he should decide the matter?
6049Art thou begotten of God by his Word?
6049Art thou born again?
6049Art thou born again?
6049Art thou born again?
6049Art thou born again?
6049Art thou born again?
6049Art thou born again?
6049Art thou born again?
6049Art thou come to Jesus Christ?
6049Art thou coming to Jesus Christ?
6049Art thou coming, indeed?
6049Art thou coming?
6049Art thou coming?
6049Art thou coming?
6049Art thou convinced that she is nothing more?
6049Art thou crossed, disappointed, and waylaid, and overthrown in all thy foolish ways and doings?
6049Art thou followed with affliction, and dost thou hear God''s angry voice in thy afflictions?
6049Art thou got into the right way?
6049Art thou in Christ''s righteousness?
6049Art thou indeed weary of the service of thy old master the devil, sin, and the world?
6049Art thou jogged, and shaken, and molested at the hearing of the Word?
6049Art thou most dejected when thou art at prayer?
6049Art thou not a graceless wretch?
6049Art thou not a graceless wretch?
6049Art thou not come to discourse the Lord in prayer?
6049Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep, that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?"
6049Art thou not like to fare well, when thou hast embraced him, coming sinner?
6049Art thou not planted by the water- side?
6049Art thou not willing to come faster?
6049Art thou now in the favour of God?
6049Art thou resolved to follow me?
6049Art thou resolved to strip?
6049Art thou returning to God?
6049Art thou righteous in the judgment of God?
6049Art thou righteous?
6049Art thou righteous?
6049Art thou such an one?
6049Art thou taken?
6049Art thou that readest these lines such an one?
6049Art thou then made to see thy condition how bad it is, and that the way out of it is by Jesus Christ?
6049Art thou therefore discharged and unladen of these things?
6049Art thou to buy or sell?
6049Art thou troubled with cross children, cross relations, cross neighbours?
6049Art thou truly born again?
6049Art thou unladen of the things of this world, as pride, pleasures, profits, lusts, vanities?
6049Art thou unrighteous in thyself?
6049Art thou visited in the night seasons with dreams about thy state, and that thou art in danger of being lost?
6049Art thou weary of them?
6049Art thy sins of diverse sorts?
6049Art weary?
6049Art[ thou] resolved to follow me?
6049As David said,"Shall I lift up mine yes to the hills?
6049As God said to Coniah,''Did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with him?
6049As HE said,''If God be for us, who can be against us?''
6049As Moses said, and that long before the law was given,"Sirs, ye are brethren, why do ye wrong one another?"
6049As Paul saith, What communion hath light with darkness?
6049As for example; Would a parishioner learn to be proud?
6049As for instance at home; could not some of those called Baptists die in opposing infant baptism?
6049As he saith again, Am I not an apostle?
6049As if he had said, Do you profess Christianity?
6049As if he should say, what need have they that one should be sent to them from the dead?
6049As many as walk according to this rule: What rule?
6049As soon as ever God had touched the jailer, he cries out,''Men and brethren, what must I do to be saved?''
6049As the mad prophet also saith of God, in another case,''Hath he said, and shall he not do it?
6049As the sabbath of months, of years, and the jubilee?
6049As to the query, What reason is there, why the Lord should suffer any of his ordinances to be lost?
6049As to the second head, what need is there that the righteousness of Christ should be imputed, where men are righteous first?
6049As to the things of God, what shall I say?
6049As touching the beauty and goodness that was in the object unto which they were allured; What was it?
6049As who should say, My brethren, are you aware what you do?
6049As who should say, My brethren, are you tempted, are you accused, have you sinned, has Satan prevailed against you?
6049As who should say, What would heaven yield to me for delights, if I was there without my God?
6049As who should say, Wherefore do I deny myself of those mercies and privileges that the men of this world enjoy?
6049As yet despise you the offers of peace, and deliverance?
6049As yet will ye refuse the golden offers of Shaddai, and trust to the lies and falsehoods of Diabolus?
6049As"Ely said to Hannah, How long wilt thou be drunken?
6049As, how many good men and good women do unawares, through their uncircumspectness, drive their own children down into the deep?
6049As, whether there were in truth a God or Christ, or no?
6049As, who should say, My brethren, are you troubled and persecuted for your faith?
6049Ask him where this God is?
6049Ask the awakened man, or the man that is under the convictions of the law, if he doth not feel?
6049Ask the carnal man to whom he prays?
6049Ask the rich man spoken of in the ensuing treatise, who was the fool-- he or Lazarus?
6049Ask thy heart, What evil dost thou see in sin?
6049At another time, I remember I was again much under the question, Whether the blood of Christ was sufficient to save my soul?
6049At last the visitor comes and sets his soul at ease, by persuading of him that he belongs to God: and what then?
6049At last there came a grave person to the gate, named Good- will, who asked who was there?
6049At that Pliable began to be offended, and angrily said to his fellow, Is this the happiness you have told me all this while of?
6049At the Lord''s table, I do eat; what though?
6049At this( as I said) you object, and say,''Did I ever find baptism a pest or plague to churches?
6049At which I was as if I had been raised out of a grave, and cried out again, Lord, how couldest thou find out such a word as this?
6049Ay, but says the soul,''How can I reckon thus, when sin is yet strong in me?''
6049Ay, but when didst thou see thyself a lost creature for want of faith in the son of Mary?
6049Ay, but when?
6049Ay, that is well for you, Paul; but what advantage have we thereby?
6049Aye, but Lord, what wilt thou do to quench their thirst?
6049Aye, but this is a high pitch, how should we come by such princely spirits?
6049Aye, saith he, to whom is that spoken?
6049Aye, wherefore indeed?
6049Barren fig- tree, dost thou consider?
6049Barren fig- tree, dost thou hear what a striving there is between the vine- dresser and the husbandman, for thy life?
6049Barren fig- tree, dost thou hear?
6049Barren fig- tree, dost thou hear?
6049Barren fig- tree, dost thou hear?
6049Barren fig- tree, dost thou hear?
6049Barren fig- tree, dost thou hear?
6049Barren fig- tree, dost thou hear?
6049Barren fig- tree, fruitless Christian, do not thine ears tingle?
6049Barren fig- tree, fruitless professor, hast thou heard all these things?
6049Barren fig- tree, hast thou heard all these things?
6049Barren fig- tree, hast thou subscribed, hast thou called thyself by the name of Jacob, and surnamed thyself by the name of Israel?
6049Barren fig- tree, what fruit hast thou?
6049Barren fig- tree, what sayest thou?
6049Barren professor, dost thou hear?
6049Be patient then, my brethren; but how long?
6049Be ruled by me, and go back; who knows whither such a brain- sick fellow will lead you?
6049Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?
6049Because Christ died for me, shall I therefore spit in his face?
6049Because the neglect of the law will be sure to damn them; therefore wouldst thou put poor souls to follow that which will not save them?
6049Because then it had been in vain for the Lord to have given the scriptures to teach men out of, either concerning himself or themselves: Why?
6049Because''the children are partakers of flesh and blood; he also himself likewise took part of the same''; To what end?
6049Beelzebub?
6049Behold, I was left alone, these, where had they been?''
6049Behold, the Lord God will help me; who is he that shall condemn me?
6049Behold, the angels cover their faces when they speak of his glory, how then shall not Satan bend before him?
6049Being justified freely by his grace: How?
6049Believe, that is true; but how now must he conceive in his mind of Christ for the encouraging of him so to do?
6049Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?
6049Believing what?
6049Besides, if men be made righteous, they are so; and if by a righteousness which the law commendeth, how can fault be found with them by the law?
6049Besides, if the promise and God''s grace, without Christ''s blood, would have saved us, wherefore then did Christ die?
6049Besides, if this be granted, why had not God respect to Cain''s offering, as well as to Abel''s?
6049Besides, oppression makes a wise man mad; and when a man is mad what evils will he not do?
6049Besides, the great things that he desired, were to be delivered from going to hell, and who would, willingly?
6049Besides, the proposition is universal, why then should you be the chief intended?
6049Besides, the threatening being pressed with an''How shall we escape?''
6049Besides, to assert the contrary, what doth it but lessen sin, and make the advocateship of Jesus Christ superfluous?
6049Besides, to what particular church was the epistle to the Hebrews wrote?
6049Besides, was the gospel so freely, so frequently, so fully tendered to thee, and yet hast thou rejected all these things?
6049Besides, what arguments so prevailing as such as are purely gospel?
6049Besides, who knows of all the ways by which the Almighty will inflict His just revenges upon the souls of damned sinners?
6049Blessed are they that do make peace; for why?
6049Bold sinner, how darest thou tempt God, by laughing at the breach of his holy law?
6049Both those of Peter, and the first of John?
6049Brethren what profit is''t if a man saith That he hath faith, and hath not works; can faith Save him?
6049Brother, said Christian, what shall we do?
6049Bunyan, speaking of private prayer, keenly inquires, will God not hear thee"except thou comest before him with some eloquent oration?"
6049But Abraham''s body is now dead?
6049But David answered,"What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries unto me?
6049But I am afraid the day of grace is past; and if it should be so, what should I do then?
6049But I ask such, if the Father and Son be not unspeakably free to show mercy, why was this clause put into our commission to preach the gospel?
6049But I ask, how came nature to be so weak, but through sin?
6049But I can not pray, says one, therefore how should I persevere?
6049But I fear I am lost and cast away, Sentence is past, and who reverse it may?
6049But I have let myself to another, even to the King of princes; and how can I, with fairness, go back with thee?
6049But I know you have made strong objections against him; prithee, what can he say for himself?
6049But I say doth not this sufficiently show, had we but eyes to see it, what a sad and deplorable creature the child of God of himself is?
6049But I say, if it be so, what need all this mercy?
6049But I say, suppose it should be granted, is it because reprobation made him incapable, or sin?
6049But I say, what can the church do more to the sinners or open profane?
6049But I say, what is this to him that would fain be saved by Christ?
6049But I say, where is thy love to thine enemy?
6049But I say, wherein is the proposition offensive?
6049But I say, who can tell, who can tell altogether, what and how much the Father delighted in his Son before the world began?
6049But I say, who understandeth this?
6049But I say, why all these, thus named?
6049But I say, why did John call them vipers?
6049But I would ask these men,''If the word of God came out from them?
6049But I, poor I, how shall I get thither?
6049But Jesus, our Advocate, answers as David, What have I to do with thee, O Satan?
6049But Mr. Bunyan replied: Sin doth distinguish a man from a beast; is sin therefore the gift of God?
6049But Naomi replied, Wherefore will ye, My daughters, thus resolve to go with me?
6049But Nathanael answered him,"Whence knowest thou me?"
6049But Paul, what moved thee thus to do?
6049But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour appeared"--what then?
6049But again, Why should you be so angry with my brother, for joining of a sinner and a liar together?
6049But again; what mystery is desirable to be known that is not to be found in Jesus Christ, as Priest, Prophet, or King of saints?
6049But alas, what thief, what tyrant, what devil is there that may not conquer after this sort?
6049But all along Christ compareth his love to ours; now, why doth he so, if they be so much alike?
6049But all these will fail you; for what think you?
6049But all this while, where''s he whose golden rays Drives night away and beautifies our days?
6049But am I daunted?
6049But am I so?
6049But are not good works the righteousness of faith?
6049But are the other righteousnesses of no use to us?
6049But are there no dissuasive arguments to lay before such, to prevent their future misery?
6049But are these words of faith?
6049But are they the people on whom God doth magnify the riches of his grace?
6049But are you out of that wilderness mentioned?
6049But are you sure it is the same that we look for?
6049But are you willing, said he, to stand to the judgment of the church?
6049But art thou blind?
6049But art thou sure thou canst?
6049But as Adam fell with us in him, so did he not by faith rise with us in him?
6049But as to the intercession of Christ, who can come in to help upon the account of such innocency or worth?
6049But as to the matter in hand, What positive precept do they transgress that will not reject him that God bids us receive, if he want light in baptism?
6049But ask him how, or under what notion he is to be considered there?
6049But at the end of all this promised pardon for a million of years-- what then?
6049But be the candles down, and scattered too, Some lying here, some there?
6049But by what rule then would you gather persons into church communion?
6049But by what rule would you receive them into fellowship with yourselves?
6049But by what spirit is it then that I am brought again into fears, even into the fears of damnation, and so into bondage?
6049But can any imagine that Christ will pray for them as Priest for whom he will not plead as Advocate?
6049But can not the church, and every woman in it, build up themselves without their woman''s meetings?
6049But can women no other way be built up in their most holy faith, but by meetings of their own without their men?
6049But can you commit your soul to their ministry, and join with them in prayer; and yet not count them meet for other gospel privileges?
6049But can you imagine how the people of the corporation were taken with this entertainment?
6049But canst thou not now repent and turn?
6049But could he not deliver him, or did the Lord forsake him?
6049But could not we have been saved if Christ had not died?
6049But could that heal it, could he not taste, truly taste, or rightly relish this forgiveness?
6049But could the house of Lebanon, though a fortified place, assault Damascus?
6049But could they persuade any to be of their opinion?
6049But did He indeed suffer the torments of Hell?
6049But did he prevail against him?
6049But did none of them follow you, to persuade you to go back?
6049But did not Mr. Badman marry again quickly?
6049But did not the neighbours take notice of this alteration that Mr. Badman had made?
6049But did they take from him all that ever he had?
6049But did this man rise again from the dead, that very man, with that very body wherewith he was crucified?
6049But did this young Badman accustom himself to such filthy kind of language?
6049But did you never give an occasion to men to call you by this name?
6049But did you not come by the house of the Interpreter?
6049But did you not fear it before?
6049But did you not see the house that stood there on the top of the hill, on the side of which Moses met you?
6049But did you not, with your vain life, damp all that you by words used by way of persuasion to bring them away with you?
6049But did you take his counsel?
6049But did you tell them of your own sorrow, and fear of destruction?
6049But did you, said he, when you were at a stand, pluck out and read your note?
6049But do kings use to die for captive slaves?
6049But do kings use to die for captive slaves?
6049But do not bad masters condemn themselves in condemning the badness of their servants?
6049But do not the scriptures make mention of a Christ within?
6049But do these people know what they do?
6049But do they believe that thus it is with them?
6049But do you speak seriously, and in good earnest?
6049But do you think Mr. Badman would have been so base?
6049But do you think it is because of the first?
6049But do you think that the men that do thus, do think that they do so vilely, so abominably?
6049But do you think that these people did ever feel the power and majesty of the Word of God to break their hearts?
6049But do you think that this outcry was caused by unbelief?
6049But do you think these men saw the strength of the Jews now?
6049But do you think this is certain?
6049But does the carnal world covet this, this spirit, and the blessed graces of it?
6049But dost thou plead by thy righteousness, for mercy for thyself?
6049But doth not a man bring forth fruit unto God, that walketh orderly according to the ten commandments?
6049But doth not the Scripture say,"Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life"?
6049But doth not their thus living, abiding, and retaining a being(or what you will call it), demonstrate the greatness and might of the soul?
6049But doth that install it in that place and dignity, that was never intended for it?
6049But doth that promise suppose a willingness in us, as a condition of God''s making us willing?
6049But doth the blind Pharisee think his state is such?
6049But doth the guilt and burden of sin so keep them down that they can by no means lift up themselves?
6049But doth this bloody city spill this blood by herself simply, as she is the adulterated whore?
6049But farther, thou sayest; Is it not the whole mystery of salvation, God manifested in the flesh?
6049But first, do you know which of the Badmans I mean?
6049But for all this, how thick, and by heaps, do these wretches walk up and down our streets?
6049But for all this, how thick, and by heaps, do these wretches walk up and down our streets?
6049But for what cause?
6049But for what purpose?
6049But further: Do we not all agree, that men that preach the gospel should do it like workmen that need not be ashamed?
6049But good Sir, are you now for unwritten verities?
6049But good Sir, why so short- winded?
6049But had one not need to walk with a guard, and to have a sentinel stand at one''s door for this?
6049But had the maid no friend to look after her?
6049But hath he no better thoughts of his own good deeds, which are by the law?
6049But hath not the law promises as well as threatenings?
6049But have you no other way to discover the things of the Gospel, how they are done with a legal principle, but those you have already made mention of?
6049But have you yet any other considerations to move us to fear God with child- like fear?
6049But he answereth, What, mean ye to weep, and to break my heart?
6049But he said, Why are ye troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
6049But his father would, as you intimate, sometimes rebuke him for his wickedness; pray how would he carry it then?
6049But hold, dost thou do it with the Publican''s heart, sense, dread and simplicity?
6049But hold, stay; wherefore?
6049But how and if I should delight in them before I am aware?
6049But how are they distinguished from the Gentiles?
6049But how are we by this man forgiven this?
6049But how are we justified by this man''s obedience?
6049But how are your neighbours for quietness?
6049But how came Diotrephes so lately into our parts?
6049But how came he by that repentance?
6049But how came he to be a"new creature,"since none can create but God?
6049But how came he to be affected with this?
6049But how came he to bring his soul into so good a temper?
6049But how came the apostle by this confidence of his well- being and of his share in another world?
6049But how came they clean?
6049But how came they thus patiently to endure?
6049But how came they to hear it?
6049But how came this to be so?
6049But how camest thou in this condition?
6049But how can God respect a man, before he respect his offering?
6049But how can a man be sorry for it, that has neither sight nor sense of it?
6049But how can that be, did they not come to us through the very sides of mercy?
6049But how can that be, since no affliction for the present seems joyous?
6049But how can that be, where the heart is not sanctified and made holy?
6049But how can this be done by him?
6049But how can you tell you have faith?
6049But how comes it to pass that thou art so hearty, that thou settest thy face against so much wind and weather?
6049But how comes this to be a SIGN of the approach of the ruin of Antichrist?
6049But how could God have respect to Abel, if Abel was not pleasing in his sight?
6049But how could a holy God say,''Live,''to such a sinful people?
6049But how could be either the one or the other, if the seventh day sabbath was taught to men by the light of nature, which is the moral law?
6049But how could he be naked, when before he had made himself an apron?
6049But how could he be naked, when before he had made himself an apron?
6049But how could he so quickly run out, for I perceive it was in little time, by what you say?
6049But how did he undertake them?
6049But how did it happen that you came out of your country this way?
6049But how did they make that out?
6049But how did they tempt him?
6049But how do they deliver them?
6049But how do you think to get in at the gate?
6049But how dost thou know that thou shalt continue therein?
6049But how dost thou prove that?
6049But how doth God kill with this law, or covenant?
6049But how doth God the Father save thee?
6049But how doth he take that away but by a severe chastising of his soul for it, until he has made him weary of it?
6049But how doth it happen that you come so late?
6049But how doth that appear?
6049But how doth the soul carry it towards God, when He offereth to deal with it under and by this dispensation of grace?
6049But how if I should have sinned the sin unpardonable, or that called the sin against the Holy Ghost?
6049But how if this path should lead us out of the way?
6049But how if we do?
6049But how indifferent?
6049But how is it that they are there?
6049But how is it that you came alone?
6049But how is the Lord righteous?
6049But how is this resented?
6049But how is this similitude pertinent?
6049But how little of this is found among men?
6049But how long ago?
6049But how long, prophet, wilt thou wait?
6049But how much more may we behold the love that God hath bestowed upon us, in that he hath given us to his Son, and also given his Son for us?
6049But how much more now?
6049But how much more then when he comes To grapple with thy heart; To bind with thread thy toes and thumbs,[4] And fetch thee in his cart?
6049But how must he do that?
6049But how must he take away the curse?
6049But how must that be done?
6049But how must this be done, but as we take them off with the snuffers, and put them in these snuff- dishes?
6049But how must this be done?
6049But how must this be?
6049But how now must this fool be made wise?
6049But how shall Christ by this rod, sword, or spirit of his mouth, consume this wicked, this mystery of iniquity?
6049But how shall I be ascertained that I also shall be entertained?
6049But how shall I bring it to pass?
6049But how shall I come hither?
6049But how shall I know that I am born again?
6049But how shall kings do it?
6049But how shall they escape all those dangerous and damnable opinions, that, like rocks and quicksands, are in the way in which they are going?
6049But how shall we do to see some of them?
6049But how shall we know that such men are coming to Jesus Christ?
6049But how shall we know when this time is come?
6049But how should I do?
6049But how should I know whether Christ do so knock at my heart as to be desirous to come in?
6049But how should I prove[ or try] the goodness of mine own righteousness by the death and blood of Christ?
6049But how should I serve God?
6049But how should a poor soul do to run?
6049But how should this rule in our hearts?
6049But how should we find out what sinners shall be saved?
6049But how should we know it, said he?
6049But how should we try our graces now?
6049But how then doth it say, that the knowledge of God is manifested in them?
6049But how then is he clear from having a hand in the death of him that perisheth?
6049But how then is what he doth accepted of God?
6049But how then must Jesus Christ, first save us from the filth?
6049But how then must they see him?
6049But how was Jesus Christ made of God to be sin for us?
6049But how were they that had got the victory?
6049But how will he do that?
6049But how will he make her naked?
6049But how will this man die?
6049But how will you prove that there was a church, a rightly constituted church, at Rome, besides that in Aquila''s house?
6049But how, if Sarah be barren?
6049But how, if Sarah be past age?
6049But how, if the day of grace should now be past and gone?
6049But how, if they have exceeded many in sin, and so made themselves far more abominable?
6049But how, if they have not faith and repentance?
6049But how, if they want those things, those graces, power, and heart, without which they can not come?
6049But how, if when I come at him he should ask me, Where I have all this while been?
6049But how, if whilst thou lookest for it to come to thee at one door, it should come to thee in at another?
6049But how, or why doth the leaf, or the fig fall from the tree?
6049But how?
6049But how?
6049But how?
6049But how?
6049But how?
6049But how?
6049But how?
6049But how?
6049But how?
6049But how?
6049But how?
6049But how?
6049But how?
6049But if God deals thus with a man, how can he otherwise think but that he is a reprobate, a graceless, Christless, and faithless one?
6049But if He parts with His righteousness to us, what will He have for Himself?
6049But if I fly, some will blame me: what must I do now?
6049But if a false faith is so forcible, what is a true?
6049But if faith doth so naturally cause good works, what then is the reason that God''s people find it so hard a matter to be fruitful in good works?
6049But if he had done as you have supposed, what had he done worse than what he hath done already?
6049But if indeed the first day of the week be the new christian sabbath, why is there no more spoken of its institution in the testament of Christ?
6049But if it be changed, then how can it be the same?
6049But if they should not, ask them yet again If formerly they did not entertain One CHRISTIAN, a Pilgrim?
6049But if this be the sin unpardonable, why is it called the sin against the Holy Ghost, and not rather the sin against the Son of God?
6049But if thou art not come, what can make thee happy?
6049But if thy God thou wilt not hearken to, What can the swallow, ant, or spider do?
6049But if we do not use forms of prayer, how shall we teach our children to pray?
6049But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?''
6049But is it asked how are we to see that that is invisible, or to imagine bliss that is past our understanding?
6049But is it not a good heart that hath good thoughts?
6049But is it not a shame for a man to defile himself with that vice which he rebuketh in another?
6049But is it not a wonder they got not from him his certificate, by which he was to receive his admittance at the Celestial Gate?
6049But is it possible that He should so soon give infinite justice a satisfaction, a complete satisfaction?
6049But is not Christ the gate or entrance into this heavenly place?
6049But is not the door of mercy shut against some before they die?
6049But is not the reward that God hath promised to his saints, for their good works to be enjoyed only here?
6049But is not this a shame for them that are such?
6049But is not this a sign of madness, of madness unto perfection?
6049But is not this great grace, that we should thus be called upon to come to God for mercy?
6049But is not this the way to make Christ to loath us?
6049But is there a member who dares to violate them?
6049But is there any comfort in being hanged with company?
6049But is there yet another reason why this holy duty should, in special as it is, be commanded to be performed on the first day of the week?
6049But is there, therefore, no need at all of good works, because a man is justified before God without them?
6049But is this a sign of the approach of the ruin of Antichrist?
6049But is this all the wit thou hast?
6049But is this the common custom of princes?
6049But it may be asked, When was this done to Christ, or what sacrifice of consecration had he precedent to the offering up of himself for our sins?
6049But let us return again to Mr. Badman; had he any children by his wife?
6049But may it not come again as a spirit of bondage, to put me into my first fears for my good?
6049But may my sin be forgiven?
6049But may one not be equally engaged for both?
6049But may we not fly in a time of persecution?
6049But met you with no opposition before you set out of doors?
6049But might not Christ die for our sins but he needs must bear their guilt or burden?
6049But might not God have kept Adam from inclining, if he would?
6049But might they not be healed by humbling themselves?
6049But must their obstinacy rule?
6049But must this wall, I say, consist chiefly in outward glory, in the glory of earthly things?
6049But my husband is an unbeliever; what shall I do?
6049But never let such a wicked thought pass through thy heart, saying,"This evil is of the Lord; what should I wait for the Lord any longer?"
6049But now I would inquire: Had Israel done the commandment, if they had eaten the passover raw, or boiled in water?
6049But now how doth God lose it?
6049But now if other men should do as this man, how many universal churches should we have?
6049But now, how shall this man be reclaimed from this sin?
6049But now, what thing is that which is greater than his body, save the altar, his Divinity on which it was offered?
6049But now, when didst thou feel the power of this first part of the Scripture, the law, so mighty as to strike thee dead?
6049But now, wouldst thou honour thy King?
6049But of what?
6049But one sin that layeth the soul without the reach of God''s mercy; and must I be guilty of that?
6049But perhaps some may ask me, WHAT INIQUITY THEY MUST DEPART FROM THAT RELIGIOUSLY NAME THE NAME OF CHRIST?
6049But perhaps some may say, What need was there that Jesus Christ should do all this?
6049But perhaps thy heart is so hard, and thy mind so united to the pleasing of thy vile affections, that thou wilt say,''What care I for my servant?
6049But pray how can you tell that he did not care for the company of such?
6049But pray tell me, Did you meet nobody in the Valley of Humility?
6049But pray, Sir, what other sign have you by which you can prove that Mr. Badman died in his sins, and so in a state of damnation?
6049But pray, Sir, where was it that Christian and Faithful met Talkative?
6049But put the case I had failed herein, Doth this warrant your unlawful practice?
6049But said, Hold; not so many, which is the first?
6049But saith the open profane, why can not we be reckoned saints also?
6049But say you,"Did he put and end to the law for them who still live in transgression?"
6049But say you,''We have now found an advocate for sin against God, in the breach of one of HIS holy commands?''
6049But say you,''Wherein lies the force of this man''s argument against baptism as to its place, worth, and continuance?''
6049But say you,''Who taught you to divide betwixt Christ and his precepts, that you word it at such a rate?
6049But sayest thou, I will be righteous in myself that I may have wherewith to commend me to God, when I go to him for mercy?
6049But says one, Would you have us singular?
6049But secondly, I pray where was Christ when he spake those words?
6049But shall Christ take our cause in hand, and shall we doubt of good success?
6049But shall I be daunted at this?
6049But shall I speak the truth for you?
6049But shall Manasseh come off thus?
6049But shall he not lose his body before he come again?
6049But shall such ever come to glory?
6049But shall the will of heaven stoop to the will of hell?
6049But shall they be my God, or shall I have Of them so foul and impious a thought, To think that from the curse they can me save?
6049But shall this ever be said of Christ?
6049But shall we be sure of it?
6049But should I grant that which is indeed impossible-- namely, that thou art justified by the law; what then?
6049But show me something out of the Word against it, will you?
6049But since I have lusts and desires both ways, how shall I know to which my soul adheres?
6049But since I was sealed to the day of redemption, I have grievously sinned against God, have not I, therefore, cause to fear, as before?
6049But since he can do so, why doth he suffer this, and that thing to appear, to act, and do so horribly repugnant to his word?
6049But some love not the method of your first; Romance they count it, throw''t away as dust, If I should meet with such, what should I say?
6049But some may say, How will they seek to enter in?
6049But some may say, What is the meaning of this word able?
6049But some may say, Wherein doth the saving grace of the Spirit appear?
6049But some may say, what need of the righteousness of one that is naturally God?
6049But still the question is, Whether God by this his determination doth not lay a necessity on the creature to sin?
6049But still when a fresh dish was set before them, they would whisperingly say to each other, What is it?
6049But still, I say, the question is, How comest thou to know that thou art righteous in the judgment of God?
6049But suppose that at his return he should find his own cattle in that pound, would he now carry it toward them as he did unto the other?
6049But suppose they were all baptized, because they had light therein, what then?
6049But suppose this great person should second his suit, and send to this sorry creature again, what would she say now?
6049But surely I may begin this time enough, a year or two hence, may I not?
6049But the most of men do that which you forbid, and why may not we?
6049But the question is now, how we should attain to, and live in, the exercise of this blessed and comely grace?
6049But the third thing touched in the question was this-- What may such an one receive of God who is under the curse of the law?
6049But then I turn the tables, and say, But where shall I be shortly?
6049But then how as a Lamb is he in the midst of the throne?
6049But then, sayest thou, how shall I escape?
6049But then, some will say, since it is so difficult, how may we do without danger?
6049But they are Satan''s captives; he takes them captive at his will, and he is stronger than they: how then can they come?
6049But they are dead, dead in trespasses and sins, how shall they then come?
6049But this is God''s complaint,''Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination?
6049But this, I say, is a very great block in his way when he meddles with the children; God has an interest in them-"Hath God cast away his people?
6049But thou wilt say unto me, Why do men profess the name of Christ that love not to depart from iniquity?
6049But though I do wait, yet if I be not elected to eternal life, what good will all my waiting do me?
6049But to accept of grace, especially when it is free grace, grace that reigns, grace from the throne, how sweet is it?
6049But to come to the point: what righteousness hath that man that hath no works?
6049But to come to the question-- What is it to be saved?
6049But to come to the second question, that is, Why these twelve angels are said to stand at the gate?
6049But to lay open my folly at last thou sayest, Doth not the scripture say, Christ is within you, except ye be reprobates?
6049But to slight grace, to do despite to the Spirit of grace, to prefer our own works to the derogating from grace, what is it but to contemn God?
6049But to the second thing, which is this, How far may such an one go?
6049But upon what is this princely fearless service of God grounded?
6049But was David, in a strict sense, without fault in all things else?
6049But was ever heard the like to what Jesus Christ has done for sinners?
6049But was he not afraid of the judgments of God that did fly about at that time?
6049But was not Adam unexpectedly surprised?
6049But was not his faith exercised, or tried, about his willingness too?
6049But was not this man, think you, a giant, a pillar in this house?
6049But was that a sufficient shelter against either thorn or thistle?
6049But was there not something of moment in this clause of the commission?
6049But were not these gentlemen more afraid of losing their own places and preferments, than of the king''s losing of his toll and custom?
6049But were you not afraid, good Sir, when you saw him come out with his club?
6049But what Jesus?
6049But what a shame is this to man, that God should subject all his creatures to him, and he should refuse to stoop his heart to God?
6049But what acts of disobedience do we indulge them in?
6049But what aileth the Pharisee?
6049But what an entrance into life is here?
6049But what answer hath God prepared for these objections?
6049But what are all these righteousnesses?
6049But what are they?
6049But what are they?
6049But what are they?
6049But what are we to understand by faith?
6049But what are we to understand in gospel days, by going out of the house of the Lord, for or by sin?
6049But what be these certain circumstances?
6049But what be these other precepts?
6049But what blessedness doth follow the imputation of the righteousness of Christ, to one that is yet ungodly?
6049But what can be the end of those that are proud in the decking of themselves after their antic manner?
6049But what could not the law do?
6049But what could they say for themselves, why they came not?
6049But what day is this?
6049But what day?
6049But what did he do with our sins, for he had them upon his back?
6049But what did he speak to them?
6049But what did she do to you?
6049But what did the raven then do?
6049But what did you think when he fetched you down to the ground at the first blow?
6049But what do we more than talk of them?
6049But what do we talk of them?
6049But what do you mean by Mr. Badman''s breaking?
6049But what do you mean by these words-- the old covenant as the old covenant?
6049But what do you mean by those expressions?
6049But what do you mean, John?
6049But what does he?
6049But what doth he get in this world, more than travail and sorrow, vexation of spirit, and disappointment?
6049But what doth he mean by the dross?
6049But what doth she do under all this trial?
6049But what doth your arguing reprove?''
6049But what emboldened him thus to do?
6049But what followed?
6049But what follows?
6049But what follows?
6049But what follows?
6049But what fruit doth God expect?
6049But what good will their covenant of death then do them?
6049But what ground had he for his so saying?
6049But what ground hast thou for this thy hope?
6049But what had Joshua antecedent to this glorious and heavenly clothing?
6049But what had he spoken?
6049But what has God prepared this vessel for, and what has He put into it?
6049But what have they got by all they have done, either against the head or body of the same?
6049But what have you met with?
6049But what have you seen?
6049But what have you to show at that gate, that may cause that the gate should be opened to you?
6049But what if a man in this his progress hath one sinful thought?
6049But what if they that were stung, could not, because of the swelling of their face, look up to the brazen serpent?
6049But what is all this to one that neither sees his sickness, that sees nothing of a wound?
6049But what is all this to the DEAD world-- to them that love to be dead?
6049But what is all this to you that are not concerned in this privilege?
6049But what is ankle- deep to that which followeth after?
6049But what is committing of the soul to God?
6049But what is he?
6049But what is impossible to a Creator?
6049But what is it that a heart that is destitute of the fear of God will not do?
6049But what is it that has got thy heart, and that keeps it from thy Saviour?
6049But what is it then to be of these?
6049But what is it to a child?
6049But what is it to be of the works of the law, or under the law?
6049But what is it to believe in Christ: and what to have faith in his blood?
6049But what is it to believe that he is Messias, or Christ?
6049But what is it to turn from the law to the Lord?
6049But what is it to wait upon him according to his counsel?
6049But what is that to them that never saw ought but beauty, and that never tasted anything but sweetness in sin?
6049But what is the answer of Christ?
6049But what is the cause of all this slaying, and the reason of this abundance of corpses?
6049But what is the matter?
6049But what is the meaning of this?
6049But what is the reason of that?
6049But what is the second thing whereby you would prove a discovery of a work of grace in the heart?
6049But what is the spirit of the world?
6049But what is there in my proposition, that men, considerate, can be offended at?
6049But what is this doctrine?
6049But what is this iniquity?
6049But what judgments do you mean?
6049But what kind of being had the seventh day sabbath, and other Jewish rites and ceremonies, that by Christ''s resurrection were taken away?
6049But what kind of sinners shall then be saved?
6049But what law is that which hath not power to command our obedience in the point of our justification with God?
6049But what man in the world can do this whose heart is not seasoned with the love of God and the love of Christ?
6049But what manner of nakedness was it?
6049But what men were to ascend with him, but, as was said afore, the men that''came out of the graves after his resurrection?''
6049But what more false than such a conclusion?
6049But what must be done with them?
6049But what necessity is there that the heart must be broken?
6049But what need I grant you, that which can not be proved?
6049But what need all these offices of Jesus Christ?
6049But what need these things be asserted, promised, or prayed for?
6049But what needs that, if mercy could save the soul without the redemption that is by him?
6049But what needs that?
6049But what of that, if yet he be unable to fetch us off when charged for sin at the bar, and before the face of a righteous judge?
6049But what of that, since the wrinkles that are in their faces threaten not us but them?
6049But what of that?
6049But what promises in the Scripture do you find your hope built upon?
6049But what righteousness have you of your own, to which you so dearly are wedded, that it may not be let go, for the sake of Christ?
6049But what said the Lord unto him?
6049But what saith it?
6049But what saith the Scripture?

6049But what shall I do, I can not depart therefrom as I should?
6049But what shall I do, who am so cold, slothful, and heartless, that I can not find any heart to do any work for God in this world?
6049But what shall I now do, saith the sinner?
6049But what shall I say unto them?
6049But what shall we say, when there must be added to that the heart blood of the Son of God, and all to make our salvation complete?
6049But what should I thus discourse of the degrees of the torments of the damned souls in hell?
6049But what should a Christian do, when God has broke his heart, to keep it tender?
6049But what should be the reason of that?
6049But what should be the reason that some that are coming to Christ should be so lamentably cast down and buffeted with temptations?
6049But what should be the reason that such a good man should be all his days so much in the dark?
6049But what should be the reason?
6049But what should he believe?
6049But what should he mean by that?
6049But what should men believe with the heart?
6049But what should such men do in that kingdom that comes by gift, where grace and mercy reigns?
6049But what should they believe?
6049But what should we do with such kind of saints?
6049But what then are sinners the better for the death and blood of Christ?
6049But what then do we mean when we say, justification will stand with a state of imperfection?
6049But what then doth he mean by the redemption of this purchased possession?
6049But what then was the altar?
6049But what then?
6049But what then?
6049But what then?
6049But what things are they?
6049But what unbecoming language is this for the children of the same father, members of the same body, and heirs of the same glory, to be accustomed to?
6049But what was Paul but a broken- hearted and a contrite sinner?
6049But what was Paul?
6049But what was Sheshach?
6049But what was it that made him thus slothful?
6049But what was it that made them join their works of the law with Christ, but their unbelief, whose foundation was ignorance and fear?
6049But what was it that made you so afraid of this sight?
6049But what was it that moved so upon his heart, as to cause him to do this thing?
6049But what was it to be lifted up from the earth?
6049But what was it?
6049But what was the affliction?
6049But what was the cause of their making this excuse?
6049But what was the cause of your carrying of it thus to the first workings of God''s blessed Spirit upon you?

6049But what will they do with her?
6049But what will you say to a soul in this condition?

6049But what''s the bush, whose pricks, like tenter- hooks, Do scratch and claw the finest lady''s hands, Or rend her clothes, if she too near it stands?
6049But what''s the reason?
6049But what, because they are not baptized, have they not Jesus Christ?
6049But what, did they now love David?
6049But what, if when he hath used it, he still continueth dark about it; what will you advise him now?
6049But what, then, are the works of the law?
6049But what, then, must we understand by these lavers, and by this sacrifice being washed in them, in order to its being burned upon the altar?
6049But what?
6049But what?
6049But when I heard it, Lord, thought I, if this be true, what shall I do, and what will become of all this people, yea, and of this preacher too?
6049But when did you give him such a rebuke?
6049But when he shall see the thief that was saved on the cross stand by, as clothed with beauteous glory, what further can he be able to object?
6049But when must we conclude we have kept the law?
6049But when shall this be?
6049But when will that be?
6049But when, Lord, wilt thou laugh at, and mock at, the impenitent?
6049But when?
6049But when?
6049But whence came this but from an inward feeling by faith of the love of God, and of Christ, which passeth knowledge?
6049But whence must this come?
6049But whence should the soul thus receive sin?
6049But where are they here forbidden to teach them other truths before they be baptized?
6049But where do you find that ever the Lord did thus rowl9 in his bowels for and after any self- righteous man?
6049But where doth Jesus Christ, in all the word of the New Testament, expressly speak to a returning backslider with words of grace and peace?
6049But where hadst thou that heart that gives entertainment to these thoughts, these heavenly thoughts?
6049But where is she?
6049But where is the fruit of this repentance?
6049But where should we find him?
6049But where were they taken, or about what were they found?
6049But wherein lieth the depth of this wisdom of God in our salvation, if man''s righteousness can save him?
6049But which is the way to make one that is wild, or a madman, sober?

6049But who knows all this?
6049But who must look upon it?
6049But who told thee that thy soul was such an excellent thing as by thy practice thou declarest thou believest it to be?
6049But who understands this, who believes it?
6049But who, quoth he, do you think this is?
6049But who, when called, was there in the world, in whom grace shone so bright as in him?
6049But why are the ungodly held forth under the notion of a rich man?
6049But why can you indulge the baptists in many acts of disobedience?
6049But why could it not be that they should perish other where?
6049But why could they not learn that song?
6049But why did Christ offer Himself in sacrifice?
6049But why did God let Him die?
6049But why did He spill His precious blood?
6049But why did He suffer the pains of Hell?
6049But why did he commit his soul to him?
6049But why did he do all this?
6049But why did he not come through?
6049But why did not you look for the steps?
6049But why did not young Badman run away from this master, as he ran away from the other?
6049But why did these do thus?
6049But why did you not answer these parts of my argument?
6049But why do I talk thus?
6049But why do YOU throw out FAITH?
6049But why do the righteous desire to be with Christ?
6049But why do you put in these cautionary words, They must not sell always as dear, nor buy always as cheap as they can?
6049But why do you wonder at a work of conviction and conversion?
6049But why doth Job after this manner thus speak to God?
6049But why doth the devil do thus?
6049But why go back again, seeing that is the next way to hell?
6049But why is God so delighted in the exercise of this grace of hope?
6049But why is all this?
6049But why is covetousness called idolatry?
6049But why is it given to him?
6049But why is it said, Let him''dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue?''
6049But why it is said, Generations?

6049But why must the instruments be laid upon the tables?
6049But why must the women have shame- facedness, since they live honestly as the men?
6049But why not attain to a performance?

6049But why not possible now to be holden of death?
6049But why not?
6049But why peace first?
6049But why rejoice in this?
6049But why should HE be rebuked, that said he was for Christ?
6049But why should they be so set against him, since they also despise the way that he forsook?
6049But why so much offended at this?
6049But why so?
6049But why speaks he so particularly?
6049But why speedily?
6049But why stand off?
6049But why standest thou thus at the door?
6049But why the seventh day?
6049But why then did he thus abhor them?
6049But why then were they baptized?
6049But why then were they not circumcised?
6049But why to Abel?
6049But why was he crucified there for the sins of his children?
6049But why was he true God and true man?
6049But why was not all this done on the seventh day?
6049But why was the firstborn of men coupled with unclean beasts, but because they are both unclean?
6049But why wilt thou seek for ease this way, seeing so many dangers attend it?
6049But why wonder, and think they are fools?
6049But why would God so order it, that life should be had nowhere else but in Jesus Christ?
6049But why would they take from us the Holy Scriptures?
6049But why( some may say) must we come out?
6049But why, I say, is this day, on which our Lord rose from the dead, nominated as it is?
6049But why, good Sir, do you sigh so deeply; is it for ought else than that for the which, as you have perceived, I myself am concerned?
6049But why, may some say, do you make so homely a comparison?
6049But why, or by what, art thou persuaded that thou hast left all for God and Heaven?
6049But why, then, is His death so slighted by some?
6049But why?
6049But why?
6049But why?
6049But will it not be counted a trespass against the Lord of the city whither we are bound, thus to violate His revealed will?
6049But will it not, think you, strangely put to silence all such thoughts, and words, and reasons of the ungodly before the bar of God?
6049But will riches profit in the day of wrath?
6049But will that good meal that I ate last week, enable me, without supply, to do a good day''s work in this?
6049But will the plea do?
6049But will you be willing, said he, that two indifferent persons shall determine the case, and will you stand by their judgment?
6049But will you promise me to mend?
6049But with the voice of my thanksgiving, I Will offer sacrifice to thee on high, And pay my vows which I have vow''d, each one, For why?
6049But with what death?
6049But would God have given the world such an account of his sufferings, that by one offering he did perfect for ever them that are sanctified?
6049But would He have done this for inconsiderable things?
6049But would he believe it?
6049But would they do thus if they knew the severity of the law?
6049But would they have done so, think you, if at the same time the fear of God had had its full play in the soul, in the army?
6049But would you be imitating of, or accomplishing such a righteousness?
6049But would you have us sit still and do nothing?
6049But would you not have the people of God stand in fear of his rod, and be afraid of his judgments?
6049But would you not have us mind our worldly concerns?
6049But would you not have us rejoice at the sight and sense of the forgiveness of our sins?
6049But wouldest thou change places with them?
6049But ye ungodly fathers, how are your ungodly children roaring now in hell?
6049But ye will say, Who are those ignorant persons, that shall find no favour at that day?
6049But yet all the things of God were kept out of my sight, and still the tempter followed me with, But whither must you go when you die?
6049But you ask me,''If outward and bodily conformity be become a crime?''
6049But you ask,''Is my peace maintained in a way of disobedience?
6049But you ask,''Might they do so when they came into Canaan?''
6049But you bid me tell you,''What I mean by spirit baptism?''
6049But you descant; Is baptism one of the laws of Christ?
6049But you may ask me, What the laver or molten sea should signify to us in the New Testament?
6049But you may ask, How did God deal with sinners before this righteousness was actually in being?
6049But you may ask, what is that righteousness, with which a Christian is made righteous before he doth righteousness?
6049But you may say, How shall I know that I fear God?
6049But you may say, What is it to exercise this grace aright?
6049But you may say, how can you prove that conscience is not of the same nature, of the Spirit of Christ?
6049But you object,''Must our love to the unbaptized indulge them in an act of disobedience?
6049But you saw more than this, did you not?
6049But you say, Doth it not lead to God all that follow it?
6049But you tell me,''I use the arguments of the paedo- baptist, to wit, But where are infants forbidden to be baptized?''
6049But you will say, How doth the law kill and strike dead the poor creatures?
6049But you will say, How should we try our graces?
6049But you will say, The scripture saith, he that descended is the same that ascended, which to me( say you) implies, none but the Spirit''s ascending?
6049But you will say, What, will not the Lord have mercy on ignorant souls?
6049But you will say, Who shall stand when he appears?
6049But you will say, doth not the scripture say, that it is the Spirit of Christ that doth make manifest or convince of sin?
6049But you will say, might they not be deceived?
6049But you will say, upon what then was the threatening and the command to punish grounded?
6049But you will say, what lies are those, that the devil beguileth poor souls withal?
6049But you will say,"Then why did God give the law, if we can not have salvation by following of it?"
6049But you will say--"But who are those that are thus under the law?"
6049But"who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord?"
6049But''how shall I give thee up, Ephraim?
6049But, Again, Wouldest thou have mercy for thy righteousness?
6049But, Are they within the reach and power of Shall- come?
6049But, Harry, said I, why do you swear and curse thus?
6049But, I pray, what, and how many, were the things wherein you differed?
6049But, I pray, will you tell me why you ask me such questions?
6049But, I say, how can these Scriptures be fulfilled, if he that would indeed be saved, as before said, has sinned the sin unpardonable?
6049But, I say, how will they fail?
6049But, I say, if he knows him not, how can he propound him as the end?
6049But, I say, if the sight of heaven, at so vast a distance, is so excellent a prospect, what will it look like when one is in it?
6049But, I say, if thou do it graciously, then a reward followeth;"For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing?
6049But, I say, was this fear, that is called now the fear of God, anything else, but a dread of the greatness of power of the king?
6049But, I say, what is all this to them that have him not for their Advocate?
6049But, I say, what is man without this soul, or wherein lieth this pre- eminence over a beast?
6049But, I say, what is the reason some so prize what others so despise, since they both stand in need of the same grace and mercy of God in Christ?
6049But, I say, what is this to them that are not admitted to a privilege in the advocate- office of Christ?
6049But, I say, why is it repeated?
6049But, I say, why offended at this?
6049But, I say, why so unconcerned?
6049But, I say,''Would they not change places?
6049But, Lord, give an instance; when was it, or where?
6049But, Lord, how wilt thou quench their boundless thirst?
6049But, Sir, Are none but those of your way the public Christians?
6049But, Sir, said she, what is this pill good for else?
6049But, Sir, said the old gentleman, how could you guess that I am such a man, since I came from such a place?
6049But, Sir, since you are not peremptory in your proof; how came you to be so absolute in your practice?
6049But, Sir, was not this it that made my good Christian''s burden fall from off his shoulder, and that made him give three leaps for joy?
6049But, Sir, who have I pleaded for, in the denial of any one ordinance of God?
6049But, USE FOURTH.--Is it so?
6049But, What, What hast thou done by thy righteousness?
6049But, alas, I am blind, and can not see; what shall I do now?
6049But, alas, I have nothing to carry with me; how then should I go?
6049But, as Paul says of himself, and of those that were saved by grace in his day,"What then?
6049But, brave soul, pray tell me what the things are that discourage thee, and that weaken thy strength in the way?
6049But, but few comparatively will be concerned with this use; for where is he that doth this?
6049But, do the broken in spirit believe this?
6049But, good neighbour Wiseman, be pleased to tell me who this man was, and why you conclude him so miserable in his death?
6049But, may some say, what good will it do a man to know that the love of Christ passeth knowledge?
6049But, mother, what is it like?
6049But, my good companion, do you know the way to this desired place?
6049But, pray Sir, while it is fresh in my mind, do you hear anything of his wife and children?
6049But, pray, what said my Lord to my rudeness?
6049But, pray, why do you ask me this question?
6049But, said Christian, are there no turnings nor windings, by which a stranger may lose his way?
6049But, said Christian, will your practice stand a trial at law?
6049But, said he, how shall we know that you have received a gift?
6049But, said he, what if you should forbear awhile, and sit still, till you see further how things will go?
6049But, said he, who shall be judge between you, for you take the Scriptures one way, and they another?
6049But, saith Justice Keelin, who was the judge in that court?
6049But, saith the Christian, I am dull and stupid that way, will not Christ be shuff13 and shy with me because of this?
6049But, saith the soul, how, if after I have received a pardon, I should commit treason again?
6049But, says Justice Keelin, what have you against the Common Prayer Book?
6049But, says Moses,"Who is a God like unto thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?"
6049But, sluggard, is it not a shame for thee To be outdone by pismires?
6049But, you will say, What needs all this ado, and why is all this time and pains spent in speaking to this that is surely believed already?
6049But, you will say, can a man use Gospel ordinances with a legal spirit?
6049But, you will say, it is like, How should this be made manifest and appear?
6049By his being able to judge by nature, that there is such a thing as sin; as Christ saith,"Why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?"
6049By rest here, must needs be understood those not elect, because set one in opposition to the other; and if not elect, what then but reprobate?
6049By way of question; what are the things thou desirest, are they lawful or unlawful?
6049By what law?
6049By what law?
6049By what will?
6049By which of the ten commandments is trusting to our own righteousness forbidden?
6049By which professors seem willingly led, though against so many plain commands and examples, written as with a sun beam, that he that runs may read?
6049By whom or by what is this fear wrought in the heart?
6049Called Christian, how many times have thy sins laid thee upon a sick- bed, and, to thine and others''thinking, at the very mouth of the grave?

6049Can he make a profession of this Christ, and that sweetly and convincingly, and the children of Satan hold their tongue?
6049Can he overstand the charge, the accusation, the sentence, and condemnation?
6049Can he prove that Christ has no interest in the saints''inheritance?
6049Can he prove that we are at age, or that our several parts of the heavenly house are already delivered into our own power?
6049Can he speak for himself?
6049Can his heart now endure, or can his hands be strong?
6049Can it be a privilege for me to be annoyed with my infirmities, and to have my best duties infected with it?
6049Can it be imagined that those''that paint themselves did ever repent of their pride?''
6049Can it be imagined, sin being what it is, and God what he is-- to wit, a revenger of disobedience-- but that one time or other man must smart for sin?
6049Can it me a mercy for me to be troubled with my corruptions?
6049Can no good thing come to us out of this?
6049Can none of these severally, nor all of them jointly, save a man from hell, unless Christ also become our Advocate?
6049Can not a man be saved unless his heart be broken?
6049Can not all the angels do it?
6049Can not an angel do it?
6049Can not he transform himself thus into an angel of light?
6049Can not his eyes, which are as a flame of fire, see in my words, thoughts, and actions enough to make me culpable of the wrath of God?
6049Can not man by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him?
6049Can not one sinner save another?
6049Can not we love their persons, parts, graces, but we must love their sins?''
6049Can not you submit, and, notwithstanding, do as much good as you can, in a neighbourly way, without having such meetings?
6049Can olives, brethren, on a fig- tree grow, Or figs on vines?
6049Can pride be where a soul for mercy craves?
6049Can repentance be where godly sorrow is not?
6049Can such a one as I am, live in glory?

6049Can they do that at all times which they can do at some times?
6049Can they pray, believe, love, fear, repent, and bow before God always alike?
6049Can we wonder that such a state of society was not long permitted to exist?
6049Can we wonder that those who preached the holy, humbling, self- denying doctrines of the cross, were persecuted to the death?

6049For so the question implies--''What will a man give in exchange for his soul?''
6049For some cause he was treated with great liberality for those times; the extent of it may be seen by one justice asking him,''Is your God Beelzebub?''
6049For such a man will thus conclude, that since the Creator of all is with him, what but creatures are there to be against him?
6049For the fear of God is to stand in awe of him, but how can that be done if we do not set him before us?

6049Have we sinned?
6049Have we the Spirit, or the fruits thereof?
6049Have we the faith of this?
6049Have ye not read Of Job, how patiently he suffered?
6049Have ye not seen in him what was God''s end; How he doth pity and great love extend?
6049Have you any more things to ask me about my beginning to come on pilgrimage?
6049Have you commended your apprehensions soberly and submissively to those you call Independents and Presbyters?
6049Have you felt the alarm in your soul under a sense of sin and judgment?
6049Have you forgot the close, the milk house, the stable, the barn, and the like, where God did visit your soul?

6049Have you not"in your flock a male?"
6049Have you soberly, and submissively commended your apprehensions to those congregations in London, that are not of your persuasion in the case in hand?
6049Have you the staggers?
6049Have you these?
6049Having so often sold thyself to me to work wickedness, wilt thou forsake me now?
6049Having so often sold thyself to me to work wickedness, wilt thou forsake me now?
6049Having so often sold thyself to me to work wickedness, wilt thou forsake me now?
6049Having so often sold thyself to me to work wickedness, wilt thou forsake me now?
6049Having these to look to, what should stagger our faith, or deject our hope?
6049He also expects this at our hands, saying,"Who will rise up for me against the evil doers?
6049He answered me in a great chafe, What would the devil do for company, if it were not for such as I am?''
6049He asked again if they had aught to say for themselves, why the sentence that they confessed that they had deserved should not be passed upon them?
6049He asked me if I had a family?
6049He asked me why?
6049He asked them, Why?
6049He begins with this question, Whether women fearing God may meet to pray together, and whether it be lawful for them so to do?
6049He can not strut, vapour, and swagger as thou dost?
6049He erreth in A CIRCUMSTANCE, thou errest in A SUBSTANCE; who must bear these errors?
6049He feared God; and what then?
6049He forsakes him--''My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?''
6049He hath given us his Son,"How shall he not with him also freely give us all things?"
6049He hath this Abishai, and that Abishai, that presently steps in against him, saying, Shall not this rebel''s sins destroy him in hell?
6049He imagined that he could bear these small afflictions with patience; but''a wounded spirit who can bear?''
6049He is indeed the great deliverer; but what is a deliverer to them that never saw themselves in bondage, as was said before?
6049He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me?
6049He is not ashamed of us, though now in heaven; why should we be ashamed of him before this adulterous and sinful generation?
6049He is thy Creator; is it not seemly for creatures to fear and reverence their Creator?
6049He is thy Father; is it not seemly for children to reverence and fear their Father?
6049He is thy King; is it not seemly for subjects to fear and reverence their King?
6049He is unwearied in his pleading for us; why should we faint and be dismayed while we plead for him?
6049He knocked, therefore, more than once or twice, saying--"May I now enter here?
6049He loved to live high, but his hands refused to labour; and what else can the end of such an one be but that which the wise man saith?
6049He never said to him,''Why hast thou done so?''
6049He pleads for us before the holy angels; why should not we plead for him before princes?
6049He pleads for us to save our souls; why should not we plead for him to sanctify his name?
6049He pleads for us, against fallen angels; why should we not plead for him against sinful vanities?
6049He pleads for us, though our cause is bad; why should not we plead for him, since his cause is good?
6049He ran away, you say, but whither did he run?
6049He ran to him, he kneeled down to him, and asked, and that before a multitude,''Good master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?''
6049He said that I was ignorant, and did not understand the Scriptures; for how, said he, can you understand them when you know not the original Greek?
6049He said unto me, By what scripture?
6049He said, How then?
6049He said, which of the Scriptures do you understand literally?
6049He saith himself, they that come to him,& c., shall find rest unto their souls; hast thou found rest in him for thy soul?
6049He saith not as the hypocrite,"Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me"( Jer 2:35); or"What have we spoken so much against thee?"
6049He sanctified us with his blood; but why should the Father have thanks for this?
6049He shall take of mine; What is that?
6049He that feareth not to be burned in the fire, how will he fear the heat of weather?
6049He that hath by faith received the spirit of holiness, shall not he be holy?
6049He that hath his word shall then speak it faithfully, for''what is the chaff to the wheat?
6049He that hath seen me, hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
6049He that is ungodly, hath a want of righteousness, even of the inward righteousness of works: but what must become of him?
6049He that opened stepped out after him, and said, Thou trembling one, what wantest thou?
6049He that planted the ear, shall he not hear?
6049He that was in darkness, or he that was in light?
6049He that was in everlasting joy, or he that was in everlasting torments?
6049He that was in hell, or he that was in heaven?
6049He was God, a Creator, then; and is he not God now?
6049He was to offer it, and how?
6049He was wroth: and why?
6049He was, and was his Son, before he was revealed--''What is his name, and what is his Son''s name, if thou canst tell?''
6049He will receive perfection, immortality, heaven, and glory; and what is folded up in these things, who can tell?
6049He will reckon them up so fast, and so fully, that thou wilt cry, Lord, when did I do this?
6049He, in whose heart the Holy Spirit has raised the solemn inquiry, What must I do to be saved?''
6049Hear, did I say?
6049Heartily spoken; but how did he perform his promise?
6049Hence David said again,''Whom have I in heaven but thee?''
6049Hence David, when he speaks of heaven, says,''Whom have I in heaven but thee?''
6049Hence he saith,''Is Christ divided,''or separate from his servants?
6049Hence it follows that Christ will be ashamed of some; but why not ashamed of others?
6049Hence see what it is to grieve the Spirit of God: for He only is the Comforter: and if He withdraws His influences, who or what can comfort us?
6049Hence such a time is rightly said to be a time to try us, or to find out what we are, and is there no good in this?
6049Her plagues are death, and mourning, and famine, and fire( Rev 18:8); are these things to be overlooked?
6049Her things are slain, and stink already, by the weapons that are made mention of before; what then will her carcase do?
6049Here is no consideration of what capacity the people might be of, that were to be persecuted; but what matters what they are?
6049Here is nought but open war, acts of hostility, and shameful rebellion, on the sinner''s side; and what delight can God take in that?
6049Here now is a man an hungered, what must he feed upon?
6049His cause; what is his cause?
6049His fee- who shall pay him his fee?

6049How so?
6049How so?
6049How stands it between God and your soul now?
6049How stands the country affected towards you?
6049How then can God put any trust in such people, or how can remission be extended to us for the sake of that?

6049How therefore, is the knowledge of the true Christ to be attained unto, that we may be saved by him?
6049How ungainly he carries it under convictions, counsels, and his present apprehension of things?

6049How, then, can he tell what it is to be saved that hath not felt the burden of the wrath of God?
6049How, then, can he tell what it is to be saved that never was sensible of the sorrows of the one, nor distressed with the pains of the other?
6049How, then, canst thou stand clear from guilt in thy soul who neglectest to act faith in the blood of the Lamb?
6049How, then, could they object that the time was not come for Christ to be born?
6049How?
6049How?
6049How?
6049How?
6049I a m under the force of it, and this is my continual cry, What shall I render to the Lord for all the benefits which he has bestowed upon me?
6049I also ask, in what charger our gospel passover is now dressed up and set before the people?
6049I am Joseph your own brother; And doth my father live?
6049I am baptiz''d, what then?
6049I am not of the number of them that say,"What profit should we have if we pray unto God?"
6049I am sorry that I was so foolish, and am made to wonder that I am not now as Lot''s wife; for wherein was the difference betwixt her sin and mine?
6049I am the basest of creatures, I could even spew at myself?
6049I answer, Art thou sensible that thou hast an action commenced against thee in that high court of justice that is above?
6049I answer, Hast thou well considered the nature of the crime wherewith thou standest charged at the bar of God?
6049I answer, though I have not asserted it, yet let me ask, which is more odious, hell or sin?
6049I ask again, wherein dost thou think the blessedness of heaven consists?
6049I ask thee how it looks, and how thou likest it, suppose there were no guilt or punishment to attend thy love to, or commission of it?
6049I ask, Hast thou entertained him so to be?
6049I ask, What should it do there before, or to what purpose is it there, if it be not acted?
6049I ask, Why has the world such hold of thee?
6049I ask, and wherefore then served the wood by which the sacrifices were burned?
6049I ask, did he tell you so?
6049I ask, then, if there were ever anything that had a being antecedent to, or before God?
6049I asked her if she was sick?
6049I asked him further, how that man''s righteousness could be of that efficacy to justify another before God?
6049I asked him wherein?
6049I believe so; but pray tell me, did any of her other children hearken to her words, so as to be bettered in their souls thereby?
6049I believe that Christ will save me; what hurt is this to my neighbour?
6049I come now to the second thing into which we are to inquire, and that is, WHAT ARE THE DESIRES OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN?
6049I come now to the third question, namely, But why should we strive?
6049I deem I have half a guess of you; your name is Old Honesty, is it not?
6049I doubt I do not come as I should do?
6049I have also asked those that pass by the way,"if they saw him whom my soul loveth,"and if they had anything to communicate to me?
6049I have given Him my faith, and sworn my allegiance to Him; how, then, can I go back from this, and not be hanged as a traitor?
6049I have often been amazed in my mind at this text, for how could Jesus Christ have said such a word if he had not been able to perform it?
6049I have told you, that this, though it were granted, cometh not up to the question; for we ask not,''whether they were so baptized?
6049I know the wise men of this world, of whom there are many, will say as to what I now press you unto; Who can shew us any good in it?
6049I love Christ because he will save me; what hurt is this to any?
6049I marvel what injury the Lord Jesus hath done this man, that he should have such indifferent thoughts of coming to God by him?
6049I might further add, how often have we agreed in our judgment?
6049I pray let me hear your judgment of extortion, what it is, and when committed?
6049I promise you this was enough to discourage; but did they make an end here?
6049I query, is it possible to come up to the pattern for justification with God?
6049I remember he alleged many a Scripture, but those I valued not; the Scriptures, thought I, what are they?
6049I remember the question that God asked Job,"Where,"saith he,"wast thou when I laid the foundation of the earth?
6049I remember what Abner said to Asahel,"Turn thee aside, from following me; wherefore should I smite thee to the ground?
6049I said, Are they infallible?
6049I say again, how will they strive for this?
6049I say again, if our love is so slender to our own souls, can any think that it should be more full to the souls of others?
6049I say again, should any so conclude hence, would not all experience prove him void of truth?
6049I say again, tell me before the first blow is given, wilt thou turn?
6049I say again, why is it affirmed''without shedding of blood is no remission,''if man''s good deeds can save him?
6049I say how easily might he have said this, and then have popt in those two verses above quoted, and so have killed the old one?
6049I say, Art thou a Pharisee?
6049I say, Art thou sensible of this?
6049I say, How easily might they thus have objected?
6049I say, What hast thou given to God thereby?
6049I say, What hast thou seen in him?
6049I say, Who told thee so?
6049I say, dost thou see thyself in him?
6049I say, dost thou this, or dost thou hunt thine own soul to destroy it?
6049I say, hast thou entertained Jesus Christ for thy lawyer to plead thy cause?
6049I say, he puts great difference between these, and that other sort that say, When will the Sabbath be gone, that we may be at our worldly business?
6049I say, how glorious was it; and how sweet is it to you that have seen yourselves lost by nature?
6049I say, if Mr. Badman was here to object thus unto you, what would be your reply?
6049I say, should he say to the poor, Come to my door, ask at my door, knock at my door, and you shall find and have; would he not be counted liberal?
6049I say, therefore, to thee that art thus, And why despair?
6049I say, was it not worth being in the furnace and in the den to see such things as these?
6049I say, what benefit have we thereby?
6049I say, what excuse can they make for themselves, when they shall be asked why they did not in the day of salvation come to Christ to be saved?
6049I say, what less than a river could do it?
6049I say, what more fearful than to be tormented there for ever with the devil and his angels?
6049I say, what will such say when they shall read that the Publican did only acknowledge his iniquity, and found grace and favour at the hand of God?
6049I say, what wilt thou say to this?
6049I say, where is he that hath taken his flight for salvation, because of the dread of the wrath to come?
6049I say, where is the honour they should put upon them?
6049I say, where, as to justification with God?
6049I say, why are things thus left with us?
6049I say, will thy conscience justify thee here?
6049I say, wouldst thou go to heaven, because it is a place that is holy, or because it is a place remote from the pains of hell?
6049I suppose they did commence much together; for else with whom should this beast make war, and how should the church escape?
6049I tell you this is no easy matter; if it were, what need all those prayers, sighs, watchings?
6049I then demand what precept bids you do this?
6049I think I am cast off from God, says the soul; so thou thoughtest afore, says memory, but thou wast mistaken then, and why not the like again?
6049I think it a high favour that they were hanged before we came hither; who knows else what they might have done to such poor women as we are?
6049I use the means to be saved; and why?
6049I was no sooner fixed upon this resolution, but that word dropped upon me,"Doth Job serve God for nought?"
6049I went out from you full, but now I come, As it hath pleased God, quite empty home: Why then call ye me Naomi?
6049I will do unto them as they have done unto Me; and what unrighteousness is in all this?
6049I will for this worship Christ as he has bid me; what hurt is this to anybody?
6049I wold know by what scripture you do it?
6049I.--WHAT IS IT TO BE SAVED?
6049II.--WHAT IS IT TO BE SAVED BY GRACE?
6049III.--WHO ARE THEY THAT ARE TO BE SAVED BY GRACE?
6049IV.--HOW IT APPEARS THAT THEY THAT ARE SAVED, ARE SAVED BY GRACE?
6049If Christ be the way, verity, and life, how can there be any life then without Christ?
6049If God be for us, who can be against us?"
6049If God be for us, who can be against us?--Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God''s elect?
6049If God be with one, who can hurt one?
6049If God would blow upon a man, who can help it?
6049If God, when man had broke the law, had yet with all severity kept the world to the utmost condition of it, had he then been unjust?
6049If He is, then how doth it appear?
6049If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why smitest thou me?
6049If Jesus be so sweet to faith below, who can tell what He is in full fruition above?
6049If Samson''s riddle was so puzzling, what shall we think of this?
6049If a man can not now go to the throne of grace by prayer, through Christ, and so fetch grace for his support from thence, what can he do?
6049If a sense of some sin,[ for who sees all?
6049If all that build do build to suit The glory of their state, What orator, though most acute, Can fully heaven relate?
6049If all that desire to go to heaven should come thither, verily they would make a hell of heaven; for, I say, what would they do there?
6049If any say, Who''s there?
6049If any say, that these things may argue pride as well as carnal lusts; well, but why are they proud?
6049If grace received would do, what need for more?
6049If he also shall ask me, What hath been my preferment in all the time of my absence from him?
6049If he asks me, By what authority I take upon me thus to reason?
6049If he asks me, How I know that the law will not lay hold of me also?
6049If he asks me, Who have been my companions?
6049If he hath, show us where?
6049If he knows not hell, and the torments thereof, wherefore should he come?
6049If he knows not himself and the badness of his condition, wherefore should he come?
6049If he knows not the law, and the severity thereof, wherefore should he come?
6049If he knows not the world, and the emptiness and vanity thereof, wherefore should he come?
6049If he knows not what death is, wherefore should he come?
6049If he was not willing, why did he promise?
6049If heart- breaking work attend such strokes,''Why should ye be stricken any more?''
6049If heaven has gates, and they shall be shut, how wilt thou go in thither?
6049If it be asked, Who did appoint that meeting made mention of in Acts 12:12?
6049If it be good and godly, why may it not be accepted?
6049If it be love for a fellow- creature to give a bit of bread, a coat, a cup of cold water, what shall we call this?
6049If it be said water baptism is not there intended, let them shew me how many baptisms there are besides water baptism?
6049If it be, why is it not embraced?
6049If it cost Lot''s wife dear for but looking back, shall not it cost them much dearer, that are going back, that are gone back again?
6049If judgment begins at the house of God, what will the end of them be that obey not the gospel of God?
6049If mercy, what mercy?
6049If no, do you not dissemble?
6049If not, how do they differ?
6049If nothing should by us be had When we are gone from hence, But vanities, while here?
6049If palaces that princes build, Which yet are made of clay, Do so amaze when much beheld, Of heaven what shall we say?
6049If so, I ask, dost thou, according to the exhortation here,''Depart from iniqnity?''
6049If so, then what is that worth, or value, that is in the grace itself?
6049If so, then, in the next place, what will become of them that are grown weary before they are got half way thither?
6049If so, what had she to say?
6049If so; why do you so much dissemble with all the world, in print; to pretend you submit to others''judgment, and yet abide to condemn their judgments?
6049If the Father, or the Son, or the Holy Ghost, are gracious, if they were not all gracious, what would it profit?
6049If the children of God shall''scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly, and the sinner appear?''
6049If the conduct of many professors were so vile, as there can be no doubt but that it was, how gross must have been that of the openly profane?
6049If the counsel of Gamaliel was good when given to the enemies of God''s people, why not fit to be given to Christians themselves?

6049Look to the heavens, and behold, and consider the stars, how high are they?
6049Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth'': Why, who art thou?
6049Look ye now, did not I tell you so?
6049Look, doth it not go along by the way- side?
6049Lord, I have destroyed myself, can I live?
6049Lord, every one of them are sins of the first rate, of the biggest size, of the blackest line, can I live?
6049Lord, shall I honour Thee most by believing Thou canst pardon my sins, or by believing Thou canst not?
6049Lord, what will be the fruit of these things, when for the doctrine of God there is imposed, that is, more than taught, the traditions of men?
6049Lord, who desired Thee to promise?
6049Lord,"who can understand his errors?
6049Lord,"who can understand his errors?"
6049Lord,"who knoweth the power of thine anger?
6049Lord,"who knoweth the power of thine anger?"
6049Make( saith Christ) the tree good, and his fruit good; or the tree evil, and his fruit evil: Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
6049Man knows the beginning of sin, said Spira, but who bounds the issues thereof?''
6049Manoah said, Now let thy words be true; How shall we use the child, What must we do?
6049Manoah then arose, and went his way, And when he came, he said, Art thou the man That spakest to my wife?
6049Many of this kind there be now in the world, both of men, and women, and children; art not thou that readest this book of this number?
6049Mark how David handleth the messenger that brought him tidings of the death of Saul: says he, How dost thou know that Saul is dead?
6049Mark them; for what?
6049Mark, and when they were ALONE; according to that of the prophet,''Whom shall he teach knowledge, and whom shall he make to understand doctrine?
6049Mark,''a just man,''''a righteous man,''''his righteous soul,''& c. But how obtained he this character?
6049May I be saved by him?''
6049May I not say before God?
6049May I now go back, and go up to the wicket- gate?
6049May I speak a few words in my own defence?
6049May a man be a visible saint without light therein?
6049May he have a good conscience without light therein?
6049May not the glorified saints become angels?
6049May not these be that sin I trow?
6049May there not come out true men as well as thieves out from thence?
6049May we appeal to our God, Lord, is it I?
6049May we have entertainment here, or must We further go?
6049May you indeed receive persons into the church unprepared for the Lord''s supper; yea, unprepared for that, with other solemn appointments?
6049Meaning, who would be at the charge to have a wife that can have a whore when he listeth?
6049Men will do thus, as I said, in courts below; and why shouldst not thou approach thus to the court above?
6049Met you with nothing else in that valley?
6049Might not their eyes dazzle, and they might think they did see such a thing, when indeed there was no such matter?
6049Mine eyes have seen vileness in the best of my doings; what, then, think you, must God needs see in them?
6049Moreover, I would ask with what face thou canst look the Lord Jesus in the face, whose name thou hast profaned by thine iniquity?
6049Mother, can not you do me some good?
6049Much of your lives are past; and will you be slothful?
6049Must God be called to an account by you, why he giveth more light about the supper than baptism?
6049Must I be a Christian, says the Jew?
6049Must I slight them as they slight me, or nay?
6049Must a gift, and a little of the glory of the butterfly, make thee that thou shalt not do for, and honour to, thy father and mother?
6049Must a little of the glory of the butterfly make thee not honour thy father and mother?
6049Must also the general assembly and church of the first- born wait upon thee for their full portions of glory?
6049Must he do what he lists?
6049Must here be the beginning of my bliss?
6049Must here the burden fall from off my back Must here the strings that bound it to me crack?
6049Must it be, if they turn themselves, or do something to merit of him to turn them?
6049Must it needs be that?
6049Must it needs be the great transgression?
6049Must nobody seek because few are saved?
6049Must not that be much more so accounted?
6049Must the Son of God himself come down from heaven?
6049Must there be redemption by blood added to mercy, if the soul be saved?
6049Must they be bound to their own ruin, by the rebellion of their stubborn wills?
6049Must they not perish rather?
6049Must thy reason, nay, thy lust, be the ruler, orderer, and disposer of his grace?
6049Must we go to hell, and be damned, for want of faith in water baptism?
6049Must we not fear falls?
6049Must we, because of these temptations, incline to fall?
6049My brethren, is it not reasonable that we should stand up for him in this world?
6049My brother, said he, rememberest thou not how valiant thou hast been heretofore?
6049My fifth query was,"Is that very man with that very body within you, yea, or no?"
6049My hope is grounded upon the promises; what else should it be grounded upon?
6049My last argument, you say, is this:''The world may wonder at your carriage to these unbaptized persons, in keeping them out of communion?''
6049My little bird, how canst thou sit And sing amidst so many thorns?
6049My second query was,"What is the church of God redeemed by from the curse of law?
6049My senses, how were you beguil''d When you said sin was good?
6049My seventh query was,"Hath that Christ that was with God the Father before the world was, no other body but his church?"
6049My sins are more than the sands, can I live?
6049My soul is also sore vexed, but thou, O Lord, how long?
6049My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God?
6049Namely, which Peter spake: This is the way in which the Spirit is given?
6049Nay rather, will not this, like a millstone about thy neck, drown thee in the deeps of hell?
6049Nay, God favoured His Son no more, finding our sins upon Him, than He would have favoured any of us; for, should we have died?
6049Nay, are not the very thoughts of it altogether displeasing to thee?
6049Nay, art thou not a desperate persecutor of the children of God?
6049Nay, but why dost thou tempt the Lord thy God?
6049Nay, but, said Mr. Bunyan, have you the very self- same original copies that were written by the penmen of the scriptures, prophets and apostles?
6049Nay, do not even these things declare that you would take it away if you could?
6049Nay, do not many make his Word, and his name, and his ways, a stalking- horse to their own worldly advantages?
6049Nay, do not they rather owe him something for his labour he bestowed on them, as Philemon did to Paul?
6049Nay, do they not rather declare to the world that they have repented of their profession?
6049Nay, do you not see with your eyes daily, that perseverance is a very great part of the cross?
6049Nay, dost thou know what original sin means?
6049Nay, doth not this argue, that thy heart is a rotten, cankered, and besotted heart?
6049Nay, further,"Have we not prophesied in Thy name?
6049Nay, hast thou not learned the wicked ones thy ways?
6049Nay, have not all the prophets from Samuel, with all those that follow after, prophesied, and foretold these things?
6049Nay, in this I will assert nothing, but rather inquire:--What hast thou gained by all this thy righteousness?
6049Nay, is it not the mark of implacable reprobates?
6049Nay, say they, why may not we as well as he?
6049Nay, was he not ready to give the lie to the angel, when he told him God was with him?
6049Nay, what petition of any kind is there in thy vain- glorious oration from first to last?
6049Nay, what world, what people, what nation, for sin and transgression, could or can be compared to Jerusalem?
6049Nay, you must make two questions of this one; that is, what is it for faith to come, and in what manner doth it come?
6049Need I read you a lecture?
6049Neither is baptism any thing?
6049Ninth, Would Jesus Christ have mercy offered, in the first place, to the biggest sinners?
6049No affection for the God that made thee?
6049No man, when he buildeth his house, makes the principal parts thereof of weak or feeble timber; for how could such bear up the rest?
6049No, saith the child, nor with this hand either; then have I said, Shall we cut off this finger, and buy my child a better, a brave golden finger?
6049No; if Isaiah, with his mighty eloquence, again appeared among mortals, again would his cry be heard,''Who hath believed our report?''
6049No; the poor, the despised in this world, claim kindred with him--''Is not this the carpenter''s son?''
6049No?
6049Noah and Lot, who so holy as they in the time of their afflictions?
6049Noah and Lot, who so holy as they, in the day of their affliction?
6049Noah and Lot, who so idle as they in the day of their prosperity?
6049Nor are we now, as at the peep of light, To question, is it day, or is it night?
6049Nor can any man propound such an essential way to cut off boasting as this, which is of God''s providing: for what has man here to boast of?
6049Nor was this but the least of what he did, But the outside of what he suffered?
6049Nor yet of thy poor soul some pity take?
6049Not sullenly saying like that wicked king, Why should I wait on the Lord any longer?
6049Nothing of this hath been done by him in this life, and therefore how can any such be recorded for him in the book of life?
6049Now I come to the second question-- to wit, What is it to be saved by grace?
6049Now I have conquered your Diabolus, you come to me for favour, but why did you not help me against the mighty?
6049Now I will add, but what if he that can give a shilling, giveth nothing?
6049Now do we regret our want of greater conformity to his image?
6049Now do you call conscience the light of Christ?
6049Now dost thou mean the Spirit of Christ?
6049Now help, Lord; now, Lord Jesus, what shall I do?
6049Now here some may object, and say, Since the way to God by these door were so wide, why doth Christ say the way and gate is narrow?
6049Now here''s the holiness that should them save, Or, as a preparation, go before, To move God to do for them less or more?
6049Now if God noble angels did not spare Because they did transgress, will he forbear Poor dust and ashes?
6049Now if all these and their works as to our justification, are rejected, where, but in Christ, is righteousness to be found?
6049Now if he means their ordinary sabbaths, or that called the seventh day sabbath, why doth he join the winter thereto?
6049Now if it be asked, What promise is entailed to our first day sabbath?
6049Now if the Captain, their king Apollion, be made to yield, how can his followers stand their ground?
6049Now if these things be so, how can the love that saveth us from them be known or understood to the full?
6049Now if you would know who this Lord Jesus is, look into Acts 10:28 and you shall see it was Jesus of Nazareth; would you know who that was?
6049Now let the man that professes the name of Christ religiously, consider with himself, unto what sin or vanity am I most inclined; Is it pride?
6049Now men can let their tongues run at random, as we used to say; now they will be apt to say, Our tongues are our own, who shall control them?
6049Now necessity walks about the streets, crying, Who is on the Lord''s side?
6049Now saith reason, how shall I come thither?
6049Now seeing the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is so nigh, even at the doors, what doth this speak to all sorts of people( under heaven) but this?
6049Now some may say, But what shall we do to depart from iniquity?
6049Now that the lions are removed, may we not fear that hypocrites will thrust themselves into our churches?
6049Now the Pharisee, like Haman, saith in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour, more than to myself?
6049Now the Spirit of Christ that leads also, but whither?
6049Now the question is, who shall prevail?
6049Now the soul is purchased by a price that the Son, the wisdom of God, thought fit to pay for the redemption thereof-- what a thing, then, is the soul?
6049Now then, did the Publican this of his own head, or from his now mind?
6049Now there is both comfort and honour in this; for what comfort like that of being a holy man of God?
6049Now this is a daring thing: I know their lies, saith he; and shall he not recompense for this?
6049Now this righteousness, the apostle casteth away, as was shewn before;''Not having mine own righteousness( saith he) which is of the law''; why?
6049Now we are come to the pinch, viz., Whether it be that of water, or no?
6049Now what can deliver the soul from these but grace?
6049Now what can hell and death do to him that hath this mercy of God upon him?
6049Now what did he do by this his carriage, but testify plainly that he was not for receiving accusations against poor sinners, whoever accused by?
6049Now wherein doth it appear that he was without spot and blemish, but as he walked in the law?
6049Now, I pray, what is it to be a devil, but to be under, for ever, the power and dominion of sin, an implacable spirit against God?
6049Now, I remember that one day, as I was walking into the country, I was much in the thoughts of this, But how if the day of grace be past?
6049Now, I say, when this part of the book of life shall be opened, what can be found in it, of the good deeds and heaven- born actions of wicked men?
6049Now, I would ask, what all this should signify, if a sinner, as a sinner, before he washes, or is washed, may immediately go unto the throne of grace?
6049Now, as they came up to these places, behold, the gardener stood in the way, to whom the Pilgrims said, Whose goodly vineyards and gardens are these?
6049Now, being made free from sin, what follows?
6049Now, how strong the motions or passions of love are, who is there that is an utter stranger thereto?
6049Now, how then do you give them their liberty?
6049Now, if Christ, as an Advocate, pleadeth a propitiation with God, for whose conviction doth he plead it?
6049Now, if God shall count me righteous, who will be so hardy as to conclude I yet shall perish?
6049Now, if a call to come hath such encouragement in it, what is a promise of receiving such, but an encouragement much more?
6049Now, if a child has such tenderness for a useless member, how much more tender is the Son of God to his afflicted members?
6049Now, if he can not know them, from what principle should he will them?
6049Now, if she, with her children, are in bondage, how canst thou expect by them to be made free?
6049Now, if so much safety flows from God''s being for one, how safe are we when God is with us?
6049Now, if they be blind, how shall they come?
6049Now, if this cause be faulty, why doth he live?
6049Now, if thou takest such things for a grant of thy desires, and consequently concludest thyself a righteous man, how mayest thou be deceived?
6049Now, if when she had things to trade with, her dealers left her; how shall she think of a trade, when she has nothing to traffic with?
6049Now, is not this a blessed Christ, coming sinner?
6049Now, it may be asked what is the throne of grace?
6049Now, justification and eternal salvation being both in Christ, and nowhere else to be had for men, who would not come to Jesus Christ?
6049Now, madam, what sayest thou?
6049Now, shall a soul where the word and Spirit of Christ dwells, be a soul without good works?
6049Now, since I show thee all these mysteries, How canst thou hate me, or me scandalize?
6049Now, since this is so, what can the condemned at the judgment say for themselves, why sentence of death should not be passed upon them?
6049Now, since this is thus, quoth he, can you be kept by any prince in more slavery, and in greater bondage, than you are under this day?
6049Now, the question is, how Abraham found?
6049Now, then, I would be saved; but why?
6049Now, then, it will be demanded, how a soul, before it was a month old, could receive sin to the making of itself unclean?

6049Now, to be taught of God, what like it?
6049Now, what can an intercessor do, if he is not able to answer this question?
6049Now, what doth Christ plead, and what is the ground of his plea?
6049Now, what is faith but a believing, a trusting, or relying act of the soul?
6049Now, what is the result, but that the Advocate goes down, as well as we; we to hell, and he in esteem?
6049Now, what is the signification of this name but SAVIOUR?

6049Now, whence should all this disobedience arise?
6049Now, where lieth the fault?
6049Now, which of these hast thou?
6049Now, who will meet me in this dark entry?
6049Now, will not this last his poor brethren to spend upon a great while?
6049O Lord, thought I, what if I should not, indeed?
6049O blessed face and holy grace, When shall we see this day?
6049O grave, where is thy victory?
6049O grave, where is thy victory?"
6049O grave, where is thy victory?''
6049O how should a poor soul do this?
6049O my brethren,''what manner of persons ought we to be,''who have subscribed to the Lord, and have called ourselves by the name of Israel?
6049O my brother, if He will but go along with us, what need we be afraid of ten thousands that shall set themselves against us?
6049O my reader, would you be one of the glorified inhabitants of that city whose builder and maker is God?
6049O sinner, wilt thou not open?
6049O that godly plea of Samuel:''Behold here I am,''says he,''witness against me, before the Lord, and before his anointed, whose ox have I taken?

6049O thou that fearest the Lord, what is thy desire?

6049O, therefore, will not this aggravate thy torment?
6049Objection.-But doth not Christ as Advocate plead for his elect, though not called as yet?
6049Observe, I am commanded to believe, but what should I believe?
6049Of God, do I say; if thou wouldst but break this league with this great enemy of thy soul?
6049Of that which is sown, or of that which was never sown?

6049On his arrival, he demanded,''Are all the prisoners safe?''

6049One reads, he prays, he catechises too; But doth he nothing else, what doth he do?

6049Or are we only out of that Egyptian darkness, that in baptism have got the start of our brethren?
6049Or are you afraid lest the truth should invade your quarters?''
6049Or art thou ignorant of these things, and yet darest thou say, Our Father?
6049Or art thou like the ostrich whom God hath deprived of wisdom, and has hardened her heart against her young?

6049Or do you count all that yourselves have no hand in, done to your disparagement?
6049Or do you look upon Jesus at that time to be but a shadow, or type of some what that was afterwards to be done within?
6049Or dost thou count they were but painted fears Which from thine eyes did squeeze so many tears?
6049Or dost thou sideling go, and would''st not be Suspected?
6049Or dost thou think that God is at play with thee, and that he threateneth but in jest?
6049Or dost thou wink, because thou would''st not see?
6049Or dost thou wink, because thou would''st not see?
6049Or has it the smell or savour of such a thing?
6049Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profaned the sabbath, and are blameless?''

6049Or if they had offered that offering, that was to be burnt as a sin- offering, otherwise than it was commanded?
6049Or if they were, would they be afraid that God would not make them welcome?
6049Or is he ever the more a fool, for flying from that which will drown thee in hell- fire, and for seeking eternal life?
6049Or is his grace so far gone, and so near spent, that now he has not enough to pardon, and secure, and save one sinner more?
6049Or is it a way into which I have twisted myself, as not being contented with my first lot, that by God and my parents I was cast into?
6049Or is it muddy, and mixed with the doctrines of men?
6049Or is it not the least of thy thoughts all the day?
6049Or makes as if he would not reconcile To thee again?
6049Or must they neglect the weightier matters, because they want mint, and anise, and cummin?
6049Or of Heman, when he said he was free among them whom God remembered no more?
6049Or shall it come to save us?
6049Or that he should make such ado, By justice, and by grace; By prophets and apostles too, That men might see his face?

6049Or, must their graces be increased by none but private means?
6049Or, must we now be afraid to say that Christ is better than water baptism?
6049Or, ought none but them that are baptized to have the public means of grace?
6049Or, whether every saint in some sort, hath not the keys of the kingdom of heaven, which are the Scriptures and their power?
6049Otherwise,''Being planted, shall it prosper?
6049Our author, perhaps, will say, I have not spoken to his question; which was,"Whether women, fearing God, may meet to pray together?
6049Paul did not so much as once ask him, What is your end in this question?
6049Perfect righteousness, what to do?
6049Perfecting holiness, what is that?
6049Perhaps the word''satisfaction''will hardly be found in the Bible; and where is it said in so many words,''God is dissatisfied with our sins?''
6049Perhaps thou wilt not let go now, what, as a hypocrite, thou hast got; but"what is the hope of the hypocrite, when God taketh away his soul?"

6049Poor drunken sinner, what shall I say to thee?
6049Poor sin- sick soul, do you consider your state more loathsome and dangerous than the leprosy?
6049Poor wretch, quoth the Pharisee to the Publican, What comest thou for?
6049Power to do what?
6049Pray how did he break it?
6049Pray how did she die?

6049Presently with envy they are enraged and cry,"Dost thou not know that every man hath a measure of the spirit given to him?
6049Prithee let me know Thy state?
6049Prithee tell me what moved thee to come to Jesus Christ?
6049Prithee tell me, What seest thou in him to allure thee to forsake all the world, to come to him?
6049Prithee, what new knowledge hast thou got, that so worketh off thy mind from thy friends, and that tempteth thee to go, nobody knows where?
6049Professors such, perhaps, there may be, and who upon earth can help it?
6049Proof.--"Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended?
6049Put thyself now upon this serious inquiry, Am I indeed come to Jesus Christ?
6049Q. Hath he indeed made amends for sin?
6049Quest.--But how( may some say) doth the devil make his delusions take place in the hearts of poor creatures?
6049Quest.--But you will say, doth not the scripture make mention of a Christ within?
6049Reader, can you be content with this?
6049Reader, can you solve Mr. Bunyan''s riddle?
6049Reader, have you ever felt thus''in downright earnest''for salvation?
6049Reader, have you ever spoken harshly to, or persecuted, a child of God-- a poor penitent sinner?
6049Reader, have you fled for refuge to the hope set before you in the gospel?
6049Reader, have you had, at any time, equal anxiety for your soul''s health and salvation?
6049Reader, how is your inclination?
6049Reader, in the sight of god, let the heart- searching inquiry of the apostle''s be yours; Lord, is it I?
6049Reader, is this your lot also?
6049Reader, our anxious inquiry should be, Have we entered in by Christ the gate?
6049Reader, what sayest thou to this?
6049Reader, what sayst thou to this?
6049Reader, would''st see what may you never feel, Despair, racks, torments, whips of burning steel?
6049Reader, wouldst see what you may never feel, Despair, racks, torments, whips of burning steel?
6049Reason also says the same, for how can Blacks beget white children, when both father and mother are black?
6049Reason will say, Then who will profess Christ that hath such coarse entertainment at the beginning?
6049Received you the Spirit, saith St. Paul, By hearing, faith, or works?
6049Received, into what?
6049Recorder was mad, and so not to be regarded: and for this he urged his fits, and said, If he be himself, why doth he not do thus always?
6049Rejoicing in spirit for the hope of the life to come by Christ, who will that harm?
6049Return again, my daughters, go your way, For I''m too old to marry: should I say I''ve hope?
6049Riches and power, what is there more in the world?
6049SECOND, How it appears that Christ hath power to save or cast out?
6049SECONDLY, What death they must die?
6049Said they anything more to discourage you?
6049Saith not the gospel the very same?
6049Saith the soul, Can not the devil give one such comfort I trow?
6049Samson withstood his Delilah for a while, but she got the mastery of him at the last; why so?
6049Satan often saith of us when we have sinned, as Abishai said of Shimei after he had cursed David, Shall not this man die for this?
6049Satan stronger than the Almighty Redeemer?
6049Saved I would be; and who is there that would not, were they in my condition?
6049Say I these things as a man?
6049Say I this of myself?
6049Say they, if our iniquities be upon us, and we pine away in them, how can we then live?
6049Say you so?
6049Say you so?
6049Says Paul,''They did not like to retain God in their knowledge''; and what follows?
6049Says Satan, Dost thou not know that thou hast horribly sinned?

6049Says Satan, dost thou not know, that thou art one of the vilest in all the pack of professors?
6049Says Satan, doth not thy conscience tell thee that thou art and hast been more base than any of thy fellows can imagine thee to be?
6049Scenes of accomplished bliss, which who can see, Though but in distant prospect, and not feel His soul refresh''d with foretaste of the joy?
6049Second, Art thou come to Jesus Christ?
6049Second, Because you know that though a man do run, yet if he do not overcome, or win, as well as run, what will he be the better for his running?
6049Second, But what is it for Jesus to be an Advocate for these?
6049Second, But you will say, is there a man made mention of here?
6049Second, The second thing is, who are they that are carried away with this delusion, and why?
6049Second, Would Jesus Christ have mercy offered, in the first place, to the biggest sinners, to the Jerusalem sinners?
6049Secondly, For that he perceived God was with them, though in that dark and dismal state; and why not, thought he, with me?
6049Secondly, How safe they are in the arms of Jesus; would they be here again for a thousand worlds?
6049Secondly, In the time of Elias, which time also was typical of this, what church was there to be seen in Israel?
6049Secondly, Is Antichrist to be destroyed, and must she have an end?
6049Secondly, by whom, and to what, he that is weak in the faith is to be received?
6049See here, a man at the foot of the ladder, now ready in will and mind, to die for his profession; but how will he carry it now?
6049See here, what should we talk any more about such a fellow?
6049See now, did not I tell thee that thy fears were but the consequence of strong desires?
6049Seest thou a professor that prayeth not?
6049Seest thou here, how saints of old were wo nt to do?

6049Seth, saith the Spirit, was set in the stead of Abel, there as forlorn, to defend religion: Must he not now be swallowed up?
6049Seventh, Would Jesus Christ have mercy offered, in the first place, to the biggest sinners?
6049Seventhly, Must Antichrist be destroyed?
6049Shall Christ come down from Heaven to earth to declare this to sinners; and shall sinners stop their ears against these good tidings?
6049Shall Christ think nothing too dear for me?
6049Shall Christ weep to see thy soul going on to destruction, and will though sport thyself in that way?

6049Shall I tell thee?
6049Shall Jesus Christ be interceding in heaven?

6049Shall not Christ, then, prevail?
6049Shall not I now be holy?
6049Shall not I now study, strive, and lay out myself for Him that hath laid out Himself soul and body for me?
6049Shall not then these mournful groans pierce thy flinty heart?
6049Shall not this lay obligation upon me?
6049Shall pride be found among redeemed slaves?
6049Shall saints, then, like slaves, be afraid of their God, the Creator; of their own God, when he rendeth the heavens, and comes down?

6049She, also, that is thine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which saith unto thee, Where is the Lord thy God?"
6049Short- sighted mortal,"shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?"''
6049Should I now be ashamed of His ways and servants, how can I expect the blessing?
6049Should I this night conceive a son?
6049Should a man ask me how he should know that he loveth the children of God?
6049Should one say to some, Art not thou the man that I once saw crying under a sermon, that I once, heard cry out, What must I do to be saved?
6049Should one say to some-- Art not thou that man I saw crying out under a sermon,''What shall I do to be saved?''
6049Should she stay where she dwells, and retain this her mind, who could live quietly by her?
6049Should we have been made a curse?
6049Should we have undergone the pains of Hell?
6049Should we make Mr. Good- deed our messenger when our petition cries for mercy?
6049Should we pray for communion with God through Christ?
6049Should you ask him that we mentioned but now, How long is it since you began to fear you should miss of this damsel you love so?
6049Since, then, the children have Christ for their advocate, art thou a child?
6049Sinner, art thou thirsty?
6049Sinner, be advised; ask thy heart again, saying, Am I come to Jesus Christ?
6049Sinner, canst thou read that Jesus Christ was made an offering for sin, and yet go in sin?
6049Sinner, careless sinner, didst thou take notice of this first inference that I have drawn from my second doctrine?
6049Sinner, coming sinner, art thou for coming to Jesus Christ?
6049Sinner, hast thou deferred to fear the Lord?
6049Sinner, hast thou obtained a broken heart?
6049Sinner, if this wicked thought be in thy heart, tell me again, dost thou thus think in earnest?
6049Sinner, sick sinner, what sayest thou to this?
6049Sinner, what sayest thou?
6049Sinner, what wilt thou take to make a mountain of sand that will reach as high as the sun is at noon?
6049Sinner, where is now thy righteousness?
6049Sinner, why shouldest thou pull vengeance down upon thee?
6049Sinner, wouldst thou have mercy?
6049Sinners, you have souls, can you behold a crucified Christ, and not bleed, and not mourn, and not fall in love with him?
6049Sir, said I, if I may do good to one by my discourse, why may I not do good to two?
6049Sir, said I, pray what do you mean by calling the people together?
6049Sir, said the least, I was almost beat out of heart?
6049Sir, what is the cause of this?
6049Sir, what think you?
6049Sir, which is my way to this honest man''s house?
6049Sir, you seem greatly concerned at this, but what if I shall say more?
6049Sixthly, Is Antichrist to be destroyed?
6049Skill, how does it taste?
6049Skill, saying, Sir, what will content you for your pains and care to, and of my child?
6049Sluggard, art thou asleep still?
6049Snuff- dishes, you may say, what are they?
6049Snuffers, you may say, of what were they a type?
6049So Christ:''Which of you convinceth me of sin?''
6049So Christiana asked Prudence what it was that made those curious notes?
6049So David,''Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
6049So He addressed Himself to Mercy, and said unto her, And what moved thee to come hither, sweet heart?
6049So I asked her, she being a stranger to me, what she had to say to me?
6049So I was, and a sweet dream it was; but are you sure I laughed?
6049So again saith he in the next Psalm after, as afore he had complained of the oppression of the enemy,''Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
6049So again:"I was left alone,"says he,"and saw this great vision"; and what follows?
6049So again:''What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?''
6049So also Bunyan-"Every height is a difficulty to him that is loaden; with a burden, how shall we attain the Heaven of heavens?
6049So full is this of consolation and felicity that the apostle exclaims,''If God be for us, who can be against us?''
6049So he came directly to me, and said, Mercy, what aileth thee?
6049So he further asked, if all the men in the town of Mansoul were in this confession as they?
6049So it is here, there is a promise made indeed, but to whom?
6049So that the question is not, Do I find that I am righteous?
6049So that, is there righteousness in Christ?
6049So the guide, Mr. Great- heart, awaked him, and the old gentleman, as he lift up his eyes, cried out, What''s the matter?
6049So then, Doth the law call for righteousness?
6049So then, when the body of Christ is in every sense completed in this life by the light of the sunshine of his holy gospel, what need of this sun?
6049So they began and said, Neighbour, pray what is your meaning by this?
6049So they called her, and said to her, Mercy, what is that thing thou wouldst have?
6049So they came up one to another; and presently Stand- fast said to old Honest, Ho, father Honest, are you there?
6049So when he was come into the chamber of state, Diabolus saluted him with''Welcome, my Lord, how went matters betwixt you to- day?''
6049So when he was got in, the man of the gate asked him who directed him thither?
6049So when they were come to the gate, the guide knocked, and the Porter cried, Who is there?
6049So, again, in another place, he saith,''Lord, how long wilt thou look on?
6049So, again, speaking of the wicked, he saith,''Ye have said it is vain to serve God, and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance?''
6049So, did I say?
6049So, of which of them hath He at any time said, This is, or shall be, made in or after Mine image, Mine own image?
6049So, then, what is the axe, that it should boast itself against him that heweth therewith?
6049So, then, wilt thou live by the law?
6049Solomon says,''The word of a king is as the roaring of a lion''; and if so, what is the Word of God?
6049Some make their sighs, their tears, their prayers, and their reformations, their advocates-"Hast thou tried these, and found them wanting?"
6049Some may say, Will God see that which is not?
6049Some of the things of God that are excellent, have not been approved by some of the saints: What then?
6049Some, as I said, that revolt, are shot dead upon the place; and for them, who can help them?
6049Sometimes I look upon myself, and say, Where am I now?
6049Soon after we set out, my father came to my brother''s, and asked his men whom his daughter rode behind?
6049Soul, consider, is it not miserable to lose heaven for twenty, thirty, or forty years''sinning against God?
6049Soul, he suffered and did bear with the manners of Israel forty years in the wilderness; and hast thou tried him half so long?
6049Specially that bitter outcry of his,''What shall I do to be saved?''
6049Still how common is the question, which one of the disciples put to his master,''Lord, are there few that be saved?''
6049Stop, my dear reader, have you cast away all useless encumbrances, and all easily besetting sins?
6049Studies that yield far less profit than this, how close are they pursued, by some who have adapted themselves thereunto?
6049Such as are self- evident or evident of themselves; to what?
6049Suppose a child doth grievously transgress against and offend his father, is the relation between them therefore dissolved?
6049Suppose a man, when he dieth, should be made to live for ever, but without the enjoyment of God, what good would his life do him?
6049Suppose a man, when he dieth, should go to heaven, that golden place, what good would this do him, if he was not possessed of the God of it?
6049Suppose all, if all these churches were baptized, what then?
6049Suppose he shall against thee shut the door, Knock thou the louder, and cry out the more; What if he makes thee there to stand a while?
6049Suppose it should be urged, that this is a doctrine tending to looseness and lasciviousness; the answer is ready--"What shall we say then?
6049Suppose so many cattle in such a pound, and one goes by whose they are not, doth he concern himself?
6049Suppose such a slip as I told you of before should be in your garden, and there die, would you let it abide in your garden?
6049Suppose that I be cheated myself with a brass half- crown, must I therefore cheat another therewith?
6049Suppose they staid but one quarter of an hour there after their fall, before they were cast out, what sweetness found they there, but guilt?
6049Surely it hath not entered into the heart of man to conceive what ear never heard, nor mortal eye ever saw?
6049Take the THREATENINGS laid down in holy writ, and how are they disregarded?
6049Take the tables for the hearts of the murderers, and the instruments for their sins, and what place more fit for such instruments to be laid upon?
6049Tell me, I say, by this text, whether is here intended the sins of all that shall be saved?
6049Tell me, dost thou not desire to desire?
6049Tell me, now, you that desire to be under the law, can you fulfil all the commands of the law, and after answer all its demands?
6049Tell me, therefore, which of them will love him most?
6049Tell me, when did you see an old drunkard converted?
6049Tenth, Would Jesus Christ have mercy offered, in the first place, to the biggest sinners?
6049Than thought?
6049Than wind?
6049That I may know also, whether the day of grace be past with me or no?
6049That also in the Romans is clear to this purpose,''Who is he that condemneth?
6049That is comparable to the pleasures, profits, and glory of this world?
6049That is true, but what evil is that that he will not do, that is left of God, as I believe Mr. Badman was?
6049That it cleaves to the best, who knows not?
6049That it is disgraceful to profession, who knows not?
6049That of David is for this remarkable,"Who am I,[ said he] and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort?
6049That old friend of publicans and sinners?
6049That our duties are imperfect, follows upon what was discoursed before; for if our graces be imperfect, how can our duties but be so too?
6049That tells thee the world is not, even then when it doth most appear to be; wilt thou set thine heart upon that which is not?
6049That the soul, did I say?
6049That they should lie and rot in their grave eternally?
6049That they would put off the old man; what is that?
6049That this must be so urged for their excuse: Hath God been more sparing in making out his mind in the one, rather than the other?
6049That was extortion, was it not?
6049That which we read is this;''Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?''
6049That, because these several things will convince of sin, therefore will they needs be the Spirit of Christ?
6049The Bible had been to him a sealed book until, in a state of mental agony, he cried, What must I do to be saved?
6049The END of the law-- what is the end of the law but perfect and sinless obedience?
6049The Godhead is indeed invisible; how then is Christ the image of it?
6049The Lord spake unto Manasseh, and to his people, by the prophets, but would he hear?
6049The Pharisees, for that they professed religion, but walked not answerable thereto, unto what doth Christ compare them but to serpents and vipers?
6049The Prince asked further, saying, Could you have been content that your slavery should have continued under his tyranny as long as you had lived?
6049The Ranters would profess that they were without sin: and how far short of his opinion are the Quakers?
6049The Shepherds then answered, Did you not see a little below these mountains a stile that led into a meadow, on the left hand of this way?
6049The answer to the inquiry,"What is man?"
6049The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
6049The broken- hearted desireth God''s company; when wilt thou come unto me?
6049The children, indeed, have the advantage of an advocate; but what is this to them that have none to plead their cause?
6049The cost of the enterprise is vast indeed; the army is numerous as our thoughts, and who can number''the multitude of his thoughts?''
6049The creditors asked what he would give?
6049The curse of God hangs over your heads; and will you be slothful?
6049The day of death and judgment is at the door; and will you be slothful?
6049The devil will tempt us, sin will assault us, men will persecute; but can they do it to everlasting?
6049The dragon her assaults, fills her with jars, Yet rests she under her Beloved''s shade, But whence was she?
6049The end, what is that?
6049The first is to question whether any are said to die and rise, by the death and resurrection of Christ?
6049The first observation, or truth, drawn from the words is cleared by the text,''What shall a man give in exchange for his soul?''
6049The forgiveness of sins: But what is meant by forgiveness?
6049The full pitcher can hold no more; then why should it go to the fountain?
6049The godly are called believers; and why believers, but because they are they that have given credit to the great things of the gospel of God?
6049The grace of humility, when is it?
6049The graces of the Spirit-- what like them, or where here are they to be found, save in the souls of men only?
6049The great question is, not as to the means, but the fact-- Have I been born again?
6049The guilt of blood who can bear?
6049The hearing of this is enough to ravish one''s heart; but are these things to be enjoyed?
6049The heart naturally is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; how then should there flow from such an one the fear of God?
6049The inquiry is pursued a step farther,"Can those who differ with me be saved?"
6049The inquiry was then, as, alas, it is too frequent now, Are there many that be saved?
6049The instruments with which they slew the sacrifices, what were they but a bloody axe, bloody knives, bloody hooks, and bloody hands?
6049The judge saith, What canst thou say for thyself that sentence of death should not be passed upon thee?
6049The law is not of faith, why then should grace be by Christians expected by observation of the law?
6049The law of Christ is,"Is any sick among you?
6049The man also at the touching of the bones of Elisha?
6049The man therefore, read it, and looking upon Evangelist very carefully, said, Whither must I fly?
6049The man under the sixth head complaineth for want of temptations, but thou hast enough of them; art thou glad of them, tempted, coming sinner?
6049The men then asked, What must we do in the holy place?
6049The mercy, the pardoning preserving mercy, the mercy of the Lord is upon them, who is he then that can condemn them?
6049The mind becomes entranced, and when sober reflection regains her command, we naturally inquire, Can all this have taken place in my heart?
6049The name of God, what is that, but that by which he is distinguished and known from all others?
6049The name of master is a name of fear--"And if I be a master, where is my fear?
6049The principle, you will say, what do you mean by that?
6049The promise is, that Babylon shall be destroyed: And do we hold our tongues?
6049The question is not, Are they blind?
6049The question is, Do not the scriptures make mention of a Christ within?
6049The question naturally arises-- What is this''furnace of earth''in which the Lord''s words are purified?
6049The question then is, whether the elect and reprobate receive a differing grace?
6049The question,"Are there few that be saved?"
6049The questions was answered with that portion of Scripture,''If God be for us, who can be against us?''
6049The record, you will say, what is that?
6049The riches, honours, and pleasures of this world, what mortal can withstand?
6049The righteous; who is he but the man that loveth God, and his holy will, to do it?
6049The saints of old, they being willing and resolved for heaven, what could stop them?
6049The same saying in effect hath also John in the Revelation--"Who shall not fear thee, O Lord,"said he,"and glorify thy name?"
6049The second part of the inquiry is, to what he that is weak in the faith is to be received?
6049The second question is, How should we strive?
6049The second thing is, How are these brought into this Everlasting Covenant of Grace?
6049The second thing that I would inquire into is this: What it is to be''ready to be offered up''?
6049The smith, what is he?
6049The snare, say you, what is that?
6049The study of those scriptures, in order that the solemn question might be safely resolved,''Can such a fallen sinner rise again?''
6049The subject I should have preached upon, even then when the constable came, was,''Dost thou believe on the Son of God?''
6049The tail, says the Holy Ghost, draws them down; draws down even the stars of heaven; but whither doth he draw them?
6049The text from which he intended to preach was''Dost thou believe on the Son of God?''
6049The text says''the desire of the righteous shall be granted''; what then are the desires of the righteous?
6049The thing formed may not say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
6049The united are all the faithful in one body; into whom?
6049The valley of Achor; what is that?
6049The vital question is, Has my heart been conquered; do I love Emmanuel?
6049The waster, what is that?
6049The way that he took, led him directly into this condition; for who can expect other things of one that follows such courses?
6049The which, when he had done, he said, Christiana, knowest thou wherefore I am come?
6049The whole have no need of the physician; then why should they go to him?
6049The whole of this address is descriptive of what the author saw, felt, or heard--''What shall I say?
6049The wicked; who is he but the man that loves not God, nor to do his will?
6049Their covetousness declareth that they are weary of depending upon God; and doth not thy wanton actions declare that thou abhorrest chastity?
6049Their minds and consciences are defiled; how then can sweet and good proceed from thence?
6049Their minds were blinded, saith the text: Whose minds?
6049Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; how then can there be found one word that should please God?
6049Their poison-- what is that?
6049Then Christian asked, What is the reason of the discontent of Passion?
6049Then Christian called to Demas, saying, Is not the place dangerous?
6049Then Christian said to him, Come away, man, why do you stay so behind?
6049Then Demas called again, saying, But will you not come over and see?
6049Then Faithful stepped forward again, and said to Talkative, Come, what cheer?
6049Then I ask again, Hast thou committed thy cause to him?
6049Then I ask again, Hast thou revealed thy cause unto him?-I say, Hast thou revealed thy cause unto him?
6049Then I asked him further, how I must make my supplication to Him?
6049Then I asked him which was his first coming?
6049Then I asked how long time he would have me live with him?
6049Then I said, But how, Lord, must I consider of Thee in my coming to Thee, that my faith may be placed aright upon Thee?
6049Then I said, But, Lord, what is believing?
6049Then Israel said, Why were you so unkind To say you had a brother left behind?
6049Then Mr. Stand- fast blushed, and said, But why, did you see me?
6049Then Naomi said, Shall I not, my daughter, Seek rest for thee, that thou do well hereafter?
6049Then Said Christian to the man, What art thou?
6049Then breaking out in the bitterness of my soul, I said''to myself,''with a grievous sigh, How can God comfort such a wretch as I?
6049Then did he that came in for their relief call out to the ruffians, saying, What is that thing that you do?
6049Then did that scripture seize upon my soul, He is of one mind, and who can turn him?
6049Then did the Judge say to him, Hast thou any more to say?
6049Then have I said, Shall we cut off this finger, and buy my child a better, a brave golden finger?
6049Then he asked them, saying, Where did you lie the last night?
6049Then he inquired if they all were well, And said, When you were here I heard you tell Of an old man, your father, how does he?
6049Then he said to his mother, What diet has Matthew of late fed upon?
6049Then ran Innocent in( for that was her name) and said to those within, Can you think who is at the door?
6049Then said Charity to Christian, Have you a family?
6049Then said Christian to Hopeful his fellow, Is it true which this man hath said?
6049Then said Christian to his fellow, If these men can not stand before the sentence of men, what will they do with the sentence of God?
6049Then said Christian to the Interpreter, But is there no hope for such a man as this?
6049Then said Christian to the porter, Sir, what house is this?
6049Then said Christian, May we go in thither?
6049Then said Christian, What is thy name?
6049Then said Christian, What meaneth this?
6049Then said Christian, What meaneth this?
6049Then said Christian, What means that?
6049Then said Christian, What means this?
6049Then said Christian, What means this?
6049Then said Christian, What means this?
6049Then said Christian, What means this?
6049Then said Christian, Why doth this man thus tremble?
6049Then said Christian, Why doth this man thus tremble?
6049Then said Christian, You make me afraid, but whither shall I fly to be safe?
6049Then said Christiana, What is the meaning of this?
6049Then said Christiana, Wherefore weepeth my Sister so?
6049Then said Evangelist further, Art not thou the man that I found crying without the walls of the City of Destruction?
6049Then said Evangelist, How hath it fared with you, my friends, since the time of our last parting?
6049Then said Evangelist, If this be thy condition, why standest thou still?
6049Then said Evangelist, Why not willing to die, since this life is attended with so many evils?
6049Then said Evangelist, pointing with his finger over a very wide field, Do you see yonder wicket gate?
6049Then said Gaius, Is this Christian''s wife?
6049Then said Gaius, Whose wife is this aged matron?
6049Then said He, Is there but one spider in all this spacious room?
6049Then said Hopeful, Where are we now?
6049Then said Joseph, Mother, what is it?

6049Then said Mercy, How knew you this before you came from home?
6049Then said Mercy, What means this?
6049Then said Mnason their host, How far have ye come today?
6049Then said Mr. Bunyan, Have you the original?
6049Then said Mr. Bunyan,''Have you the original?''
6049Then said Mr. Desires- awake, why should not I do the best I can to save so famous a town as Mansoul from deserved destruction?
6049Then said Mr. Feeble- mind to him, Man, How camest thou hither?
6049Then said Mr. Great- heart to the little ones, Come, my pretty boys, how do you do?
6049Then said Mr. Great- heart, Good Gaius, what hast thou for supper?
6049Then said Mr. Great- heart, What art thou?
6049Then said Mr. Great- heart, What things?
6049Then said Mr. Valiant- for- truth, Prithee, who is it?
6049Then said Nathaniel to Jesus,''Whence knowest thou me?
6049Then said he that attempted to back the lions, Will you slay me upon mine own ground?
6049Then said he, Who will go with me?
6049Then said he, Who, and what is he that is so hardy, as after this manner to molest the Giant Despair?
6049Then said she, How canst thou pretend to love me, When thus thy doing towards me disprove thee?
6049Then said the Interpreter, Is there no hope, but you must be kept in the iron cage of despair?
6049Then said the Keeper of the gate, Who is there?
6049Then said the Keeper of the gate, Who is there?
6049Then said the Keeper, Whence come ye, and what is that you would have?
6049Then said the Prince again, Are you the men that did suffer yourselves to be corrupted and defiled by that abominable one Diabolus?
6049Then said the Prince, And for what are those ropes on your heads?
6049Then said the Prince, And what punishment is it, think you, that you deserve at my hand for these and other your high and mighty sins?
6049Then said the Prince,''And what is he that is become thy companion in this so weighty a matter?''
6049Then said the Shepherds one to another, Shall we show these Pilgrims some wonders?
6049Then said the boys, Are we not yet at the end of this doleful place?
6049Then said the damsel to them, With whom would you speak in this place?
6049Then said the giant, Why are you here on my ground?
6049Then said the guide, Why did you not cry out, that some might have come in for your succour?
6049Then said the man to the Prince,''Oh let not my Lord be angry; and why inquirest thou after the name of such a dead dog as I am?
6049Then said the man, Neighbours, wherefore are ye come?
6049Then said the men of Judah, for what reason Are you come up against us at this season?
6049Then said the old man, Thou lookest like an honest fellow; wilt thou be content to dwell with me for the wages that I shall give thee?
6049Then said the other, Do you see yonder shining light?
6049Then said their guide, Come, what cheer, Sirs?
6049Then said they, Have you none?
6049Then said they, We entreat thee let us know, For whose cause we this evil undergo, Whence comest thou?
6049Then said they, What should this be?
6049Then said they, What''s thy riddle, let us know?
6049Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive and removing to and fro?
6049Then she addressed herself to the eldest, whose name was Matthew; and she said to him, Come, Matthew, shall I also catechise you?
6049Then she said, Come, Joseph( for his name was Joseph), will you let me catechise you?
6049Then such a question as this,"Friend, how camest thou in hither, not having a wedding garment?"
6049Then the water stood in mine eyes, and I asked further, But, Lord, may such a great sinner as I am, be indeed accepted of Thee, and be saved by Thee?
6049Then they asked her of her welfare, and if these young men were her husband''s sons?
6049Then they asked the Shepherds what that should mean?
6049Then they cried out to those that were sent, What news from the Prince?
6049Then they stood trembling before him, and he said, Are you the men that heretofore were the servants of Shaddai?
6049Then unto her, her mother- in- law did say, In what field hast thou been to glean to- day?
6049Then were the men exceedingly afraid; And, wherefore hast thou done this thing?
6049Then what doth this speak to the Lord''s own people?
6049Then what mean they, who were to appearance once come out, but now are going thither again?
6049Then what will become of all the profane, ignorant, scoffers, self- righteous, proud, bastard- professors in the world?
6049Then what will become of all those that creep into the society of God''s people without a wedding garment on?
6049Then what will become of all those that mock at the second coming of the Man Christ, as do the Ranters, Quakers, drunkards, and the like?
6049Then will not you yourself confess, that he is deluded, that is persuaded to follow that light that can not reveal Christ unto him?
6049Then would you have none pray but those that know they are the disciples of Christ?
6049Then, I pray thee, let me inquire a little of thee, what provision thou hast made for thy soul?
6049Then, O that I might have a little ease for my deceitful tongue?
6049Then, as it seems, sometimes you got rid of your trouble?
6049Then, directing his speech to Ignorance, he said, Come, how do you?
6049Then, said I, a man, it seems, may report it for a truth?
6049Then, why may not I doubt that I may be one of these?
6049There are but three or four: and can not God miss them, and save me for all them?
6049There are mansion- houses, beds of glory, and places to walk in among the angels; and who knows what they are?
6049There are rewards for services, and labour of love showed to God''s name here; and who knows what they will be?
6049There is but one law- giver, That''s able to destroy and to deliver; Who then art thou that dost condemn thy neighbour?
6049There is death?
6049There is heaven itself, the imperial heaven; does any body know what that is?
6049There is hope, another grace of the Spirit bestowed upon us; and how often is that also, as to the excellency of working, made to flag?
6049There is immortality and eternal life: and who knows what they are?
6049There is in the text an intimation of a sense of torment''Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?''
6049There is never a rebel in heaven against God, and if he should so deal on earth, must it not whirl thee down to hell?
6049There is reverence, fear, and standing in awe of God''s Word and judgments, where are the excellent workings thereof to be found?
6049There is the mount Zion, the heavenly Jerusalem, and the innumerable company of angels; doth any body know what all they are?
6049There will be badges of honour, harps to make merry with, and heavenly songs of triumph; doth any here know what they are?
6049Thereat Mercy said, And why so envious, trow?
6049Therefor, speak plainly; Dost thou believe that that man Christ Jesus is ascended from his people in his person?
6049Therefore from that time that he heard that word,"Why persecutest thou me?"
6049Therefore in this sense it may be said,''Where is the fury of the oppressor?''
6049Therefore is that in the Psalms read both ways, shall I look to the mountains?
6049Therefore let him still humble himself before his God, because his hand is upon him, and say, What sin is this, for which this hand of God is upon me?
6049Therefore the soul is it which is said to love God--''Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?''
6049Therefore to answer this, here we have a breadth, a spreading breadth;"I spread my skirt over thee": But how far?
6049Therefore try a little, Do they slight God''s Christ, which is the Son of the Virgin?
6049Therefore what need have they that I should work such a miracle, as to send one from the dead unto them?
6049Therefore, I say, this gate was not measured; for what should a rule do here, where things are beyond all measure?
6049Therefore, how can you bear the face to come to Jesus Christ?
6049Therefore, this would still stick with me, How can you tell that you are elected?
6049Therefore, wherefore?
6049These are also taken notice of in Job, and go there also by the name of wicked men:"Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
6049These are my fears of him too; but who can hinder that which will be?
6049These bloody sacrifices, what did they signify, what were they figures of, but of the bloody sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ?
6049These kill the heart; for who can bear up under the guilt of sin?
6049They added also, We see it is well with you, but how must it go with the town of Mansoul?
6049They are all gone out of the way; how then can they walk therein?
6049They are fallen from grace, and what can help them?
6049They are indeed reprobates who have not Christ within them; but now, how is thy folly manifest?
6049They are the salt of the earth, shall not they be seasoning?
6049They bless, they all bless; they thank, they all thank; and wilt thou hold thy tongue?
6049They gather it indeed, and think to keep it too, but what says Solomon?
6049They may, with confidence, say, Lord, Lord, have we not eaten and drank in Thy presence, and taught in Thy name, and in Thy name have cast out devils?
6049They said( it was when I was in my troubles), What shall we do with this woman?
6049They shall come, say you, but how if they be blind, and see not the way?
6049They shall, you say; but how if they will not; and, if so, then what can Shall- come do?
6049They spake not aright, saying, what have I done?
6049They:--Who?
6049Think thus with thyself, What, shall I lose a long heaven for short pleasure?
6049Think you that they upon whom the tower of Siloam fell, were sinners above others?
6049Think, therefore, with thyself thus, What was it that at first did wound my heart?
6049Thinkest thou not, who readest these lines, that all of these who had before committed their soul to God to keep were the fittest folk to die?
6049Thinkest thou that thou shalt weather it out well enough at the day of judgment?
6049Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou didst put the lie upon my Father, and madest him, to Mansoul, the greatest deluder in the world?
6049Thinkest thou this to be right?
6049Thinkest thou, reader, that the scripture hath two faces, and speaketh with two mouths?
6049Third, Art thou coming to Jesus Christ?
6049Third, But wilt thou yet plead thy righteousness for mercy?
6049Third, Would Jesus Christ have mercy offered in the first place to the biggest sinners?
6049Thirdly, Is Antichrist to be destroyed?
6049Thirdly, What was the dry bones that we read of in the 37th of Ezekiel, but the church of God, and also a figure of what we are treating of?
6049This beginning was bad, but what shall I say?
6049This brings us to the most important of all the subjects of self- examination-- am I one of the''righteous''?
6049This dastardly heart of ours, when shall it be more subdued and trodden under foot of faith?
6049This doctrine Christ teacheth when he saith,"Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
6049This is but a falsehood and a slander, for the unregenerate know him not; how then can they believe on him?
6049This is but reasonable; for if Christ stands up to plead for us, why should not we stand up to plead for him?
6049This is manifest by the very name of the tree; it is called the tree of knowledge of good and evil; and have you that knowledge as yet?
6049This is much; but is God connected with this?
6049This is not a sign that you fear me, ye offer the blind for sacrifices, where is my fear?
6049This is of absolute necessity; for how can or shall a man be willing to come to Christ that knows not what he is, what God has appointed him to do?
6049This is plain, not only to sense, but by the natural scope of the words,''What shall a man give in exchange for his soul?''
6049This is the common language,''if our transgressions be upon us, and we pine away in them, How should we then live?''
6049This is the fear that made the three thousand cry out,"Men and brethren, what shall we do?"
6049This is the reason of this inquiry, Did you come in at the gate?
6049This is the time, then, for Christ to stand up to plead; for now there is room for such a question- Can David''s sin stand with grace?
6049This is your hour, said He, and the power of darkness, when He cried out,''My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?''
6049This last has the body for his watch- house; the eyes and ears for his port- holes; the tongue therewith to cry, Who comes there?
6049This man is minded to give more to be damned, than God requires he should give to be saved; is not this an extravagant one?
6049This may be answered by the question-- Was Peter justified in leaving the prison, and going to the prayer- meeting at Mary''s house?
6049This question, I briefly ask thee,"Had Christ a body of flesh before the world began?"
6049This righteousness of God- man, this righteousness of Christ?
6049This snare will bring thee back again to the pit, which is hell, and then how wilt thou do to be rid of thy fear?
6049This text utterly excludes the law-- what law?
6049This to reason is very dreadful; for it cuts the soul down to the ground;''for a wounded spirit who[ none] can bear?''
6049This was honest and plain; but what said Mr. Badman to her?
6049This wicked world doth sentence us for our good deeds, but how then would they sentence us for our bad ones?
6049This word created, is added, on purpose to show that the world is under the power of his hand; for who can destroy, but he that can create?
6049This, I say, is a character above all angels; for, as the apostle said,''To which of the angels said He at anytime,''Thou art my Son?''
6049This; Which?
6049Those of the children of Israel that went from Egypt, and entered the land of Canaan, how came they thither?
6049Thou art in a strait, wilt thou fly before Moses, or with David fall into the hands of the Lord?
6049Thou biddest them be merry and lightsome; but dost thou not know that"the heart of fools is in the house of mirth?"
6049Thou booby, say''st thou nothing but Cuckoo?
6049Thou didst so wonderfully pour out thy wrath upon him, to the making of him cry out,''My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?''
6049Thou hast already been unfaithful in thy service to Him; and how dost thou think to receive wages of Him?
6049Thou hast been a cumber- ground[104] long already, and wilt thou continue so still?
6049Thou horrible wretch, dost not know that thou hast sinned thyself beyond the reach of grace, and dost thou think to find mercy now?
6049Thou horrible wretch, dost not know, that thou has sinned thyself beyond the reach of grace, and dost thou think to find mercy now?
6049Thou horrible wretch, dost not know, that thou hast sinned thyself beyond the reach of grace, and dost think to find mercy now?
6049Thou horrible wretch, dost not know, that thou hast sinned thyself beyond the reach of grace, and dost thou think to find mercy now?
6049Thou mayest also doubt18 thy thoughts of the damned thus: If these poor creatures were in the world again, would they sin as they did before?
6049Thou mayest by thy fear be driven away from God, from his worship, people, and ways, but what will that avail?
6049Thou professest thou believest in Christ: is he thy joy, and the life of thy soul?
6049Thou professest to believe thou hast a share in another world: hast thou let got THIS, barren fig- tree?
6049Thou scrupulous fool, where canst thou find that God was ever false to his promise, or that he ever deceived the soul that ventured itself upon him?
6049Thou scrupulous fool, where canst thou find that God was ever false to his promise, or that he ever deceived the soul that ventured itself upon him?''
6049Thou seemest angry, why dost on us frown?
6049Thou simple bird, what makes thou here to play?
6049Thou standest to thy righteousness, what dost thou mean?
6049Thou subject are to cold o''nights, When darkness is thy covering; At days thy danger''s great by kites, How can''st thou then sit there and sing?
6049Thou talkest like one upon whose head is the shell to this very day; for what should he pawn them, or to whom should he sell them?
6049Thou talkest of leaving him, but then whither wilt thou go?
6049Thou thinkest that thou art a Christian; thou shouldest be sorry else: Well, But when did God shew thee that thou wert no Christian?
6049Thou thinkest to escape the pit; but what wilt thou do with the snare?
6049Thou wilt say unto me, How should I know that I have done so?
6049Though men that have a great design, do, and must make use of those that in reason are most likely to effect it, yet must the Lord do so too?
6049Though such should climb up to heaven, from thence will God bring them down( Amos 9:2), Still I say, therefore, how shall we get in thither?
6049Through what righteousness?
6049Thus also thou may say when death assaulteth thee-- O death, where is thy sting?

6049True, he stopped the blow but for a time; but why did he stop it at all?

6049Was it utter nakedness, nakedness in its perfection?
6049Was it, think you, that you might show yourselves women, and that you might go out like a company of innocents to gaze on your mortal foes?

6049We look, said Paul, but whither?
6049We may adopt the language of the poet, and say--''Sinful soul, what hast thou done?
6049We may well say,"Who is like thee, O Lord, among the gods?"
6049We need not lay the reins on its neck and say, What care we?

6049We read, in the book of Revelations, of the holy city, and that it had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; but what did they do there?
6049We received, by our thus being counted in him, that benefit which did precede his rising from the dead; and what was that but the forgiveness of sins?

6049Well, but if this in truth be thus, how then comes it to pass that some receive it and live for ever?
6049Well, but is there in truth such a thing as the obedience of faith?
6049Well, but is there no way to come to the Father of mercies but by this man that was born of the virgin?
6049Well, but is thy work required to the finishing of this righteousness?
6049Well, but it seems he did live to come out of his time, but what did he then?
6049Well, but let me ask you one word farther: Do you believe, that of very conscience they can not consent, as you, to that of water baptism?
6049Well, but mark the answer of God,''Son of man, What is the vine- tree more than any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest?
6049Well, but now we are upon it, pray show me the difference between swearing and cursing; for there is a difference, is there not?

6049Well, but what will you say to this question?
6049Well, but whither must they go?
6049Well, if you will not, will you give me leave to do it?
6049Well, now suppose that a man, by an immediate hand of God, is brought to a morsel of bread, what must he do now?
6049Well, said I, shall I send to your master, while you abide out of sight, and make your peace with him before he sees you?
6049Well, said Mr. Great- heart, will you have the Pilgrims up into their lodging?
6049Well, said he, to conclude, but will you promise that you will not call the people together any more?
6049Well, then, said Faithful, what is that one thing that we shall at this time found our discourse upon?
6049Well, then, tell me, sinner, if Christ should now come to judge the world, canst thou abide the trial of the book of life?

6049Wilt thou stop thine ears, and shut thy eyes?
6049Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am god?
6049Wilt thou yet turn thyself in thy sloth, as the door is turned upon the hinges?
6049Wilt thou, then, lose this Christ, this food, this pleasure, this heaven, this happiness, for a thing of nought?
6049With how many oaths, declarations, attestations, and proclamations, is it avouched, confirmed, and established?
6049With promises, did I say?
6049With respect to thy desires, what are they?
6049With that, one of them said, Who is your God?
6049Without a watch, resist a foe who can?
6049Witness they that live in hell; if it be proper to say they live in hell?
6049Women may, yea ought to pray; what then?
6049Would God else have given him the heaven to dispose of to us that believe, and would he else have told us so?
6049Would I share in this salvation by faith in him?
6049Would a heathen god refuse to answer such prayers in which the supplicants were not agreed; and shall we think the true God will answer them?
6049Would either of you stay till he is grown?
6049Would he be afraid of friends, or shrink at the most fearful threatenings that the greatest tyrants could invent to give him?
6049Would he favour sin?
6049Would he love this world below?
6049Would he not sometimes talk of his wife when she was dead?
6049Would it not be counted an high affront, for a base inferior fellow, to call himself the head of the queen?
6049Would it not have been so to any of us, had we been used as he, to be robbed, and wounded too, and that in a strange place, as he was?
6049Would not By- ends, Facing- both- ways, and Save- all, have jumped to the same conclusion?
6049Would not Heaven be better to me than my sins?
6049Would not His dying only of a natural death have served the turn?
6049Would not this make Satan fall from heaven like lightning?
6049Would she not say, You mock me?
6049Would such an one, thinkest thou, run again into the same course of life as before, and venture the damnation that for sin he had already been in?
6049Would the people learn to be wanton?
6049Would they be here again for a thousand worlds?
6049Would they learn to be drunkards?
6049Would they learn to be drunkards?
6049Would they not, I say, have concluded that he was a righteous man?
6049Would you act thus by God''s holy commandments?
6049Would you be saved by keeping the law?
6049Would you be willing to be damned for slothfulness?
6049Would you choose one and reject another?
6049Would you have us make Christ such a drudge as to do all, while we sit idling still?
6049Would you have us run into temptation, to try if they be sound or rotten?
6049Would you make my Lord''s people to transgress?
6049Would you not say, I did not think of covenants, or study the nature of them?
6049Would you serve your prince so?
6049Would you so long without an husband[3] live?
6049Would you stand just before God thereby?
6049Would you think that such an one did all this while retain the shape, form, or similitude of a man?
6049Wouldest thou be content that I should judge thee, because thou canst not for my light give thanks with me?
6049Wouldest thou grow in this fear of God?
6049Wouldest thou grow in this godly fear?

6049Wouldest thou sit upon their place of ease?
6049Wouldst thou be faithful to do that work that God hath appointed thee to do in this world for his name?
6049Wouldst thou be faithful to do that work that God hath appointed thee to do in this world for his name?
6049Wouldst thou be glad to be kept out of heaven with a back well clothed, and a belly well filled with the dainties of this world?
6049Wouldst thou be glad to have all thy good things in thy lifetime, to have thy heaven to last no longer than while thou dost live in this world?
6049Wouldst thou be saved from guilt and filth too?
6049Wouldst thou be saved with a thorough salvation?
6049Wouldst thou be saved?
6049Wouldst thou be that within thou dost appear, Or seem to be in outward exercise Before the most devout, and godly wise?
6049Wouldst thou be the servant of thy Saviour?
6049Wouldst thou be very upright and sincere?
6049Wouldst thou be willing to be deprived of eternal happiness and felicity?
6049Wouldst thou fare deliciously every day, and have thy soul delight itself in fatness?
6049Wouldst thou have the kingdom of God come indeed, and also his will to be done in earth as it is in heaven?

6049Wouldst thou know whether he did rise again after he was crucified, with the very same body?
6049Wouldst thou know whether he made them of something or nothing?

6049Wouldst thou then know this throne of grace, where God sits to hear prayers and give grace?
6049Wouldst thou wade?
6049Wouldst thou willingly hold out, stand to the last, and be more than a conqueror?
6049Wouldst thou, then, know the greatest things of God?
6049Wouldst thou, with all thy heart, be saved by Jesus Christ?
6049Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?''
6049Ye are the salt o''th''earth; but wherewith must The earth be season''d when the savour''s lost?
6049Ye do not furnish them with what they need, Wat boots it?
6049Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour''s wife: and shall ye possess the land?"
6049Yea more, why are the elders of the churches called watchmen, overseers, guides, teachers, rulers, and the like?
6049Yea whether it doth not tend to make them unruly and headstrong?
6049Yea, I say again, if judgment must begin at them, will it not make thee think, What shall become of me?
6049Yea, and if he ask me, Why I came home no sooner?
6049Yea, and it has its followers ready at its heels continually to blow its applause abroad, saying,''Who will show us any[ other] good?''
6049Yea, and why is death suffered to slay the body?
6049Yea, are they not hurtful in the day of grace?
6049Yea, art thou thus when no eye doth thee see But that which is invisible?
6049Yea, canst thou appeal to the Lord Jesus, who knoweth perfectly the very inmost thought of thy heart, that this is true?
6049Yea, canst thou say, My soul, my soul waiteth upon God, my soul thirsteth for Him, my soul followeth hard after him?
6049Yea, did we not even kill ourselves with our earnest intreaties of thee to consider of thine estate, and by Christ to escape this dreadful day?
6049Yea, did we not tell thee that God, out of his love to sinners, sent Christ to die for them, that they might, by coming to him, be saved?
6049Yea, do we not grow worse and worse?
6049Yea, dost thou not vehemently desire to desire to depart and to be with Christ?
6049Yea, hath the truth itself bestowed it upon us, and shall those to whom it is given, even given by Scripture of truth, be yet deprived thereof?
6049Yea, how can you now, though he is at a distance, endure to think of such a mighty one?
6049Yea, how did those ravenous creatures, the ravens, bring the prophet bread and flesh twice a day, but by immediate instinct from heaven?
6049Yea, if any that see her should say, Why do you so?
6049Yea, if the works of a sanctified man are blameworthy, how shall the works of a bad man set him clear in the eyes of Divine justice?
6049Yea, is it not meet that to every one they should confess what sorry ones they are?
6049Yea, is it not reason that in all things we should study his exaltation here, since he in all things contrives our honour and glory in heaven?
6049Yea, open thy heart, and take this man, not into judgment, but into mercy with thee?
6049Yea, or for their neglect of it either?
6049Yea, or nay?"
6049Yea, our faith is faulty, and also imperfect; how then should remission be extended to us for the sake of that?
6049Yea, shall my Jesus die To reconcile me to my God?
6049Yea, suppose the child should now, through ignorance, cry, and say, This man is now no more my father; is he, therefore, now no more his father?
6049Yea, the passover being to be eaten on the even of his sufferings, with what desires did he desire to eat it with his disciples?
6049Yea, was he not now in the combat?
6049Yea, was it better than the tree of life?
6049Yea, what a word of worth, and goodness, and blessedness, is it to him that lies continually upon the wrath of a guilty conscience?
6049Yea, what conformity unto him, to his sorrows and sufferings?
6049Yea, what do you think John desired, when he cried out to Christ to come quickly?
6049Yea, what means this your taking up of arms against, and the shutting of your gates upon us, the faithful servants of your King?
6049Yea, what shall we say of such that are the inventors and promoters of wickedness, as of oaths, beastly talk, or the like?
6049Yea, what should they do among that company that are saved alone by grace, through the redemption that is in Jesus Christ?
6049Yea, what wilt thou then do, if death and hell shall come to visit thee, and thou in thy sins, and under the curse of the law?
6049Yea, what works of that man doth God impute to him that he yet justifies as ungodly?
6049Yea, wherefore hath God also given it out that there is none other name given to men under heaven whereby we must be saved?
6049Yea, why did not the Pharisee, if he was a heathen, lay that to his charge while he stood before God?
6049Yea, why do you taunt those ministers that persuade us to renounce our own righteousness, and those also that follow their doctrine?
6049Yea, why is he commanded to let it be so, if the people would bow and fall kindly under him, and heartily implore his grace without it?
6049Yea, wrap thy head with clouds and hide thy face, As threatening to withdraw from us thy grace?
6049Yea,"how oft is the candle of the wicked put out?"
6049Yes; for I think if I were deceived before, if I were comforted by a spirit of delusion before, why may it not be so again?
6049Yes; the Lord Jesus denied himself for thee; what sayest thou to that?
6049Yes;''What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?''
6049Yet the question is, Are they absolutely or conditionally promised?
6049Yet, hast thou fallen?
6049You add,''Is it a person''s light that giveth being to a precept?''
6049You ask again,''Suppose men plead want of light in other commands?''
6049You ask me next,''How long is it since I was a Baptist?''
6049You ask,''Can not you give yourself a reason, that their moving, travelling state made them incapable, and that God was merciful?
6049You ask,''Was circumcision dispensed with for want of light, it being plainly commanded?''
6049You came in at the gate, did you not?
6049You may ask me what that is?
6049You may ask me, What is it to come boldly?
6049You may ask me, what those things are?
6049You may ask, How should I know those shepherds?
6049You read they come weeping and mourning, and with tears; they knock and they cry for mercy; but what did tears avail?
6049You say he was proud; but will you show me now some symptoms of one that is proud?
6049You say true; but did you meet nobody else in that valley?
6049You say well, for what fellowship hath he that believeth with an infidel?
6049You speak mystically, do you not?
6049You talk of rubs; what rubs have you met withal?
6049You tell me also, that some of the sober Independents have shewed dislike to my writing on this subject: What then?
6049You that live in adultery, know not ye The friendship of the world is enmity With God?
6049You will say, Are these graves spoken of here, the graves that are made in the earth?
6049You will say, How should I know that?
6049You will say, what is that?
6049Your souls are worth a thousand worlds; and will you be slothful?
6049Your twelfth argument is,''Why should professors have more light in breaking of bread, than baptism?
6049[ 108] What is meant by the Hill Difficulty?
6049[ 112] Examine, which do you like better, self- soothing or soul- searching doctrine?
6049[ 12]"Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him, saith the Lord?
6049[ 130] Reader, can you feed upon Christ by faith?
6049[ 134] But did I laugh?
6049[ 138] Can we wonder that the pilgrims longed to spend some time with such lovely companions?
6049[ 140] Now the King, at the sight of the petition, was glad; but how much more think you, when it was seconded by his Son?
6049[ 148] When he had left her, Prudence said, Did I not tell thee, that Mr. Brisk would soon forsake thee?
6049[ 14] But I beheld in my dream, that a man came to him, whose name was Help, and asked him what he did there?
6049[ 15] But now, when did the day of grace end with this man?
6049[ 15] Was this love of God extended to him because of his personal virtues?
6049[ 162] Is not this too much the case with professors of this day?
6049[ 163] Can a man enter upon the work of the ministry from a better school than this?
6049[ 163] What is this something that By- ends knew more than all the world?
6049[ 167] Pretended friends come with such expostulations as these: Why, dear Sir, will you give such offence?
6049[ 17] But is he now quit?
6049[ 17] Can it be imagined that when the wicked are in this distress, but that they will desire to be saved?
6049[ 192] Look, said Christian, did not I tell you so?
6049[ 192]What must the pure and holy Jesus have suffered when He tasted death in all its bitterness?
6049[ 194] So on they went, and Joseph said, Can not we see to the end of this Valley as yet?
6049[ 1] Was Christ slothful in the work of your redemption?
6049[ 217] Mr. Wingate asked Bunyan why he did not follow his calling and go to church?
6049[ 21] What do all their acts declare, but this, that they either know not God, or fear not what he can do unto them?
6049[ 21]If it be asked, Why take your unregenerate children, and invite the ungodly, to the place of worship?
6049[ 228] Then said Christian, What means this?
6049[ 231] Then said Hopeful to the Shepherds, I perceive that these had on them, even every one, a show of pilgrimage, as we have now; had they not?
6049[ 238] Now, is it not very common to hear professors talk at this rate?
6049[ 242] Then they asked Mr. Feeble- mind how he fell into his hands?
6049[ 248] What was this good thing?
6049[ 24] Seest thou the poor?
6049[ 254] Who can stand in the evil day of temptation, when beset with Faint- heart, Mistrust, and Guilt, backed by the power of their master, Satan?
6049[ 257] Then said Mr. Contrite to them, Pray how fareth it with you in your pilgrimage?
6049[ 25] The trial we have before God is of otherguise importance,[26] it concerns our eternal happiness or misery; and yet dare we affront him?
6049[ 267] Also, are we not now to walk by faith?
6049[ 268] What can not Great- heart do?
6049[ 276] Then said the Pilgrims, What means this?
6049[ 27] Well, but whither do they go, that are thus gone out of the temple or church of God?
6049[ 284] Then said Christian to Hopeful( but softly), Did I not tell you he cared not for our company?
6049[ 288] How, then, dost thou say, I believe in Christ?
6049[ 296] Then they said- Well, Ignorance, wilt thou yet foolish be, To slight good counsel, ten times given thee?
6049[ 2] And why is MY rank so mean, that the most gracious and godly among you, may not duly and soberly consider of what I have said?
6049[ 2] He asked the constable what we did, where we were met together, and what we had with us?
6049[ 2]( Psa 8:3,4) Now in the creation of the world we may consider several things; as, What was the order of God in this work?
6049[ 309] My soul, what''s lighter than a feather?
6049[ 311] Who are these ministering spirits, that the author calls"men"?
6049[ 312] Is she not rightly named Bubble?
6049[ 312] What are these two difficulties?
6049[ 31] And how many times are they that fear God said to be delivered both by God and his holy angels?
6049[ 338]''Why was the brazen laver made of the women''s looking- glasses?
6049[ 33] What is this to me, O law, that thou accusest me, and sayest that I have committed many sins?
6049[ 35]This should prompt every professing Christian to self- examination-- Am I of the raven class, or that of the dove?
6049[ 38] But is our present need all the need that we are like to have, and the present work all the work that we have to do in the world?
6049[ 39] Then said Christian, What means this?
6049[ 39] Will it be comfort to thee to see the Saviour turn Judge?
6049[ 3]"What shall I do?"
6049[ 44] Sir, is it not time for me to go on my way now?
6049[ 45]"In the midst of these heavenly instructions, why in such haste to go?"
6049[ 47] Then said the Interpreter to Christian, Hast thou considered all these things?
6049[ 59] What is this garden but the world?
6049[ 5] The genuine disciple"who thinketh no evil"will say, Can this be so now?
6049[ 5] Where is the man, except he be a willful perverter of Divine truth, who can charge the doctrines of grace with licentiousness?
6049[ 60] What are these ill- favoured ones?
6049[ 62] But why go back again?
6049[ 6] I looked then, and saw a man named Evangelist coming to him, who asked,"Where fore dost thou cry?"
6049[ 6] Would you be ready to die in peace?
6049[ 77] What say you, O my Mansoul?
6049[ 78] But shall we be flattered out of our lives?
6049[ 89]''Thou hast given credit to the truth''; what is this but faith-- the faith of the operation of God?
6049[ 8] Barren fig- tree, can it be imagined that those that paint themselves did ever repent of their pride?
6049[ 8] Before they took him his intent was to preach on these words,''Dost thou believe on the Son of God?''
6049[ 8] If thou now say, Which is the way?
6049[ 99] Is there righteousness in Christ?
6049[ But, pray, what talk have the people about him?
6049[ Does it stun them?]
6049[ How should we strive?]
6049[ I reply] If thou hadst said, I worship her Son, thou hadst said truly( I hope) But is not thy spite more against her son, than her?
6049[ WHAT ARE THE DESIRES OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN?]
6049[ WHO IS THE RIGHTEOUS MAN?]
6049[ Why should we strive?]
6049[ that is, to bring Christ down from above:] or, Who shall descend into the deep?
6049a promise that declares, yea, that engageth Christ Jesus to open his heart to receive the coming sinner?
6049a promise that looks at the first moving of the heart after Jesus Christ?
6049afraid to go to Joseph''s house?
6049all who?
6049always at it?
6049and again, He beholds the proud afar off?
6049and again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6049and again,"O death, where is thy sting?
6049and also how God doth make a man righteous with it?
6049and are not men the more noble part in all the churches of Christ?
6049and are notions and whimsies of such credit with thee that thou must leave the foundation to follow them?
6049and are these Christian''s children?
6049and are you stronger than He?
6049and art thou for ever resolved so to do?
6049and be The words of God in truth thy prop and stay?
6049and behold the height of the stars, how high they are?"
6049and by seeing the beams and sweet influences of the sun strike downwards?
6049and canst thou find in thy heart to labour to lay more sins upon His back?
6049and comes as it were to the borders of doubt, saying,''Who shall deliver me?''
6049and darkness and tempests?
6049and did no more of them but you come out to escape the danger?
6049and do not the members receive their whole light, guidance, and wisdom from it?
6049and do you question the resurrection of the body?
6049and dost thou mingle thy tears with thy drink?
6049and dost thou sigh and mourn in secret?
6049and doth God testify that thy desire is true, not feigned?
6049and doth your life and conversation testify the same?
6049and falsify their words for thee?
6049and fears as he desires to fear God''s name?
6049and for what are they hanged there?
6049and from whence would the flaming flame ascend highest, and make the most roaring noise?
6049and going on pilgrimage too?
6049and hast not thou been led by a lying spirit also, in wresting of my words as thou hast done?
6049and have you consented to stand by their opinion?
6049and he that is called to glory and virtue, shall not he add to his faith virtue?
6049and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?"
6049and how could Abel be yet pleasing in his sight, for the sake of his own righteousness, when it is plain that Abel had not yet done good works?
6049and how far go you this way?
6049and how if all our faith, and Christ, and Scriptures, should be but a think- so too?
6049and how shall he be convinced of eternal judgment, if you persuade him, that when he is dead, he shall not at all rise?
6049and how they hold back good from us?
6049and how we may be more holy and more humble towards God, and more charitable and more serviceable to one another?
6049and how?
6049and if I be a Master, where is my fear?
6049and if they think they shall know and do these, why not know others, and rejoice in their welfare also?
6049and if to two, why not to four, and so to eight?
6049and in Thy name have cast out devils?"
6049and in thy name done many wonderful works?"
6049and in thy name done many wonderful works?"
6049and in thy name have cast out devils?
6049and in thy name have cast out devils?
6049and is God''s love and care of the salvation of the souls of sinners infinitely greater than is their own care for their own souls?
6049and is all that thou hast to be ventured for his name in this world?
6049and is also the life of Jesus''made manifest in thy mortal body?''
6049and is goodness seen in thy seeking the life or the damage of thy enemy?
6049and is he more precious to thee than the whole world?
6049and is not that a good life that is according to God''s commandments?
6049and is not the light of God sufficient in itself, to lead to God all that follow it, yea, or nay?"
6049and is not this thus much, are not all they reprobates( say you) but they in whim Christ is within?
6049and is there knowledge in the Most High?''
6049and is there not like reason for it?
6049and loves as he desires to love?
6049and may I lodge here tonight?
6049and of choosing what you judge is right, whether they conclude with you or no?
6049and says another, Would you have us make ourselves ridiculous?
6049and shall I Not love a saint?
6049and shall I count anything too dear for Him?
6049and shall I hate his child, nor hear his wants that call For my little assisting of him?
6049and shall none be angry at it?
6049and shall not I exercise my mind about it?
6049and should a man full of talk be justified?
6049and so, consequently, say unto God,"Depart from us, for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways; or, What is the Almighty that we should serve him?
6049and that Christ hath marked and recorded for such an one?
6049and that also against which the spirit lusteth?
6049and that eternal life with God''s favour, is better than a temporal life in God''s displeasure?
6049and that made the jailer cry out, and that with great trembling of soul,"Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
6049and that, AFTER the angel had fled through the midst of heaven, preaching the gospel to those that dwell on the earth?
6049and the company of God, Christ, saints, and angels, be better than the company of Cain, Judas, Balaam, with the devils in the furnace of fire?
6049and therefore that it ought to be departed from, who knows not?
6049and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?"
6049and to be had upon no lower rates than thy immortal soul?
6049and to say now, Lord, be merciful to me, a sinner?
6049and to what did they make him stoop?
6049and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?"
6049and unquiet and troublesome, discontented, and seeking to be revenged of thy persecutors; where is, or what kind of grace hast thou got?
6049and until you could by faith own it as done for you, and counted yours by reputation, yea, or no?
6049and what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?''
6049and what communion hath light with darkness?

6049and what fruits in all their labour?
6049and what hath Emmanuel said?
6049and what he would have?
6049and what is the criterion of Christian charity, except it be''zeal for the salvation of others in his heart?''
6049and what is the reason of that, but a persuasion that there is no help for him in God?
6049and what is your business here?
6049and what must they do that have none?"
6049and what profit should we have if we pray unto him?''
6049and what still wilt thou further do, if mercy, and blood and grace doth not prevent thee?
6049and what would you have?
6049and when did I do the other?
6049and when it is committed?
6049and when so like to be weary, as when almost at their journey''s end?
6049and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee an answer[ unashamed?]''
6049and whence he came?
6049and where is the place of my rest?
6049and where will they be safe in such days?
6049and where, when He speaketh of them, doth He express a communion that they have with Him by the similitude of conjugal love?
6049and whether the holy Scriptures were not rather a fable, and cunning story, than the holy and pure Word of God?
6049and while they thus call themselves, they should be the veriest rogues for all evil, sin, and villainy imaginable, who could help it?
6049and whither are you bound?
6049and who hath brought up these?
6049and who shall repay him what he hath done?
6049and why I did not content myself with following my calling?
6049and why art thou disquieted within me?
6049and why art thou disquieted within me?
6049and why did he dispraise it, but of a covetous mind to wrong and beguile the seller?
6049and why did he so long for it, but of desire to do us good?
6049and why dost Thou pass such a sad sentence of condemnation upon us?
6049and why is thy countenance fallen?"
6049and why may we not go to Christ in the name of the Father, as well as to the Father in the name of Christ?
6049and why must he make his arrows sharp, and all, that the heart may with this sword and these arrows be shot, wounded, and made to bleed?
6049and will he judge a man just that is a sinner?
6049and will he not be as good to us as to them that have gone before us?
6049and with what body do they come?"
6049and yet all this is included in this word saved, and in the answer to that question,"Are there few that be saved?"
6049and yet doth it yield no good unto us?
6049and, I say, as I said before, in whom is it, light, like so to shine, as in the souls of great sinners?
6049and, Will it go well with the town of Mansoul?
6049and, that some time ago I heard speak well of the holy word of God?
6049and,''Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?''
6049and,''What wouldst thou have me do?''
6049any him that cometh to thee?
6049are not even ye that have been converted by us?
6049are not the poor saints now in this city?
6049are not the things that are eternal best?
6049are not they concerned in these instructions?
6049are not thy kindred as hardened as thou wast?
6049are these the effects of a purblind spirit?
6049are these the tokens of a blessed man?
6049are they all Esau''s indeed?
6049are they forgotten?
6049are they not rather the fruits of an eagle- eyed confidence?
6049are they thrown over the bar?
6049are they weaned from that milk, and drawn from the breasts?
6049are we better than they?
6049are we better than they?
6049are we better than they?"
6049are we stronger than He?''
6049are ye made to be taken and destroyed?
6049are you not ashamed of your doings?

6049are you that countryman, then?
6049arise: why standest thou still?
6049art thou become like unto us?''
6049art thou one of them that hast cast off fear?
6049art thou resolved to sleep the sleep of death?
6049art thou weary?
6049art thou willing?
6049be persuaded to pause a moment, and ask yourself the question- What is my case?
6049because Christ is our pattern, is he not our passover?
6049because they would adorn the gospel?
6049because they would beautify religion, and make sinners to fall in love with their own salvation?
6049behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can not contain thee; how much less this house that I have built?''
6049besides there is hell itself, the place itself, the fire itself, the nature of the torments, and the durableness of them, who can understand?
6049but can it turn all things into grace?
6049but doth thy life and conversation declare thee to be such an one?
6049but how much is there of it?''
6049but how shall I come by them?
6049but may it not be as strongly supposed that the presence and blessing of the Lord Jesus, with his ministers, is laid upon the same ground also?
6049but what was that gospel you preached?
6049but where are thy fruits, barren fig- tree?
6049but why did you not shew me my evil in thus calling it, when opposed to the substance, and the thing signified?
6049but why didst thou not confess what thou hadst done then?
6049but why offended at this?
6049but, Hath he fruit?
6049but, Were you doers, or talkers only?
6049can he judge through the dark cloud?"
6049can it make all things work together for good?
6049can not you be satisfied without you have peace with God?
6049can not you help me?
6049can the floods drown it?
6049can these be possessed with this grace of fear?
6049can we suppose he will now admit of the wit and contrivance of men in those things that are, in comparison to them, the heavenly things themselves?
6049canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?''
6049canst thou give no better counsel touching those whom God hath wounded, than to send them to the ordinances of hell for help?
6049canst thou imagine that such a gnat, a flea, a pismire as thou art, can take and possess the heavens, and mantle thyself up in the eternal glories?
6049canst thou judge no better?
6049canst thou think that God hath given thee this that thou mightest thereby make a prey of thy neighbour?
6049cast a world behind thy back for the welfare of a soul?
6049consent and nothing else?
6049count convictions for sin, mournings for sin, and repentance for sin, melancholy?
6049deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
6049did he die before he was born again?
6049did he die in unbelief?
6049did he light upon you?
6049did he not behave himself valiantly?
6049did they now choose him to be their king?
6049did they say, did they do nothing while they sat before the throne?
6049did you see how I turned again to those vanities from which some time before I fell?
6049did your neighbours talk so?
6049do they not tend to surfeit the heart, and to alienate a man and his mind from the things that are better?
6049do they use to show such kind of favours to traitors?
6049do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?''
6049do you design the glory of God, in the salvation of your soul?
6049do you not understand that God is resolved to have the mastery one way or another?
6049do you think she will go?
6049dost the wanton play, Or doth thy testy humour tend its way?
6049dost thou know what thou art?
6049dost thou not know that thou by so doing deferrest the coming of thy dearest Lord?
6049dost thou say that that which thou callest the light of Christ, is the Spirit of Christ?
6049dost thou think that God, Christ, Prophets, and Scriptures, will all lie for thee?
6049dost thou think to run fast enough with the world, thy sins and lusts in thy heart?
6049doth his coming to Jesus Christ offend thee?
6049doth his forsaking of his sins and pleasures offend thee?
6049doth his pursuing of his own salvation offend thee?
6049doth not this man deserve to be ranked among the extravagant ones?
6049doth she give up her faith and hope, and return to that fear that begot the first bondage?
6049doth this yield thee inward pleasedness of mind, and a kind of secret sweetness, or bow?
6049fear God and a liar, and one that cries for mercies to spend them upon thy lusts?
6049fear God and be proud, and covetous, a wine- bibber, and a riotous eater of flesh?
6049fear God without a change of heart and life?
6049fear God, and in a state of nature?
6049flow they not, think you, from faith of the finest sort, and are they not bred in the bosom of a truly mortified soul?
6049for a man must know before he does, else how should he divert[13] himself to do?
6049for it is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
6049for legal grounds, though not expressed?
6049for providing friends to receive him to harbour when others should turn him out of their doors?
6049for to do things, but not in God''s fear, to what will it amount?
6049for to him I would deliver my message?''
6049had he faith and holiness?
6049has God bestowed a contrite spirit upon thee?
6049has not this river pleasant streams?
6049hast thou cried out?
6049hast thou cried?
6049hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not?
6049hath it ears?
6049hath it eyes?
6049have I been unfaithful to Him?
6049have they not in them power to loose the bands of nature, and to harden the soul against sorrow?
6049having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?''
6049he that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct?
6049he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
6049he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?"
6049how came the prophet by this sight?
6049how can he see?
6049how can that be, since they are hurtful?
6049how canst thou deal so unkindly with such a sweet Lord Jesus?
6049how could he bear the face to do it?
6049how crossly he thinks?
6049how doth he behave himself in his presence?
6049how few be there in the world whose heart and mouth in prayer shall go together?
6049how he found that which some of his children sought and missed?
6049how hot will that make wrath?
6049how long has it lasted?
6049how many lashes with God''s iron whip dost thou deserve?
6049how much of his Spirit, and the grace of his Word?
6049how poorly will these be able to plead the virtues of the law to which they have cleaved, when God shall answer them,''Whom dost thou pass in beauty?
6049how readest thou?
6049how shall I come at Christ?
6049how shall I pass through this dark entry into another world?
6049how she flies and sings,[20] But could she do so if she had not wings?
6049how then can we be offended at things by which we reap so much good, and at things that God makes so profitable for us?
6049how then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother?"
6049how they grieve the Holy Ghost?
6049how they spoil our prayers?
6049how they tempt Christ to be ashamed of us?
6049how they weaken faith?
6049how they weaken our graces?
6049how will they die and languish in their souls?
6049how will they faint?
6049how would Thy heart and pulse beat after heav''nly things, After the upper and the nether springs?
6049if it were not for these three or four words, now how might I be comforted?
6049if, at any time, any of them are mentioned, how seemingly coldly doth the record of scripture present them to us?
6049in each part What flames appear?
6049in sinking into the bottom of the sea with company?
6049in storms?
6049in the body of his flesh,[ that then must be first: to what?]

6049is justifying, saving faith, nothing more than a belief of the truth?
6049is man such a fool as to believe things, and yet not look after them?
6049is not this excellent water?
6049is old Good- deed yet alive in Mansoul?
6049is she not a tall, comely dame, something of a swarthy complexion?

6049is the soul such an excellent thing, and is the loss thereof so unspeakably great?
6049is there not life and mettle in them?
6049is thy heart still so stubborn as not to say yet,"Let us fear the Lord?"
6049it is the gift of the Father--"how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him( Luke 11:13)?
6049it was for sufferings; and why made he ready for them but because he saw they wrought out for him a''far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory?''
6049joyful, and glad, and merry at heart at the thoughts of the richness of the booty?
6049know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you,--and ye are not your own?"

6049saith Satan; why, that will I. Ay, saith he, but who can do it, and prevail?
6049saith he,''Is thine eye evil, because I am good?''
6049saith not the scriptures the same?
6049saith the Lord; shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?"
6049saith the Lord; will ye not tremble at my presence?"
6049saith the backslider that is returned, did you see how I left my God?
6049saith the child, pray do not hurt me: I then have replied, Canst thou do nothing with this finger?
6049sayest thou; but is this the way to go to God in prayer?
6049says the honourable man, must I take mercy upon no higher consideration than the thief on the cross?
6049see''s not how thou hast trod Under thy foot, the very Son of God?
6049seek the living among the dead?
6049seest thou the fatherless?
6049seest thou thy foe in distress?
6049set more by thy soul than by all the world?
6049shall Christ become a drudge for you; and will you be drudges for the devil?
6049shall I destroy thee?
6049shall I fall upon thee and grind thee to powder, or make thee a monument of the richest grace?
6049shall I threaten them?
6049shall I unfaithful be?
6049shall it not utterly wither, when the east- wind toucheth it?
6049shall not the worthiness of the Son of God be sufficient to save from the sin of man?
6049shall that knowledge of him, I say, be counted such, as only causes the soul to behold, but moveth it not to good works?
6049shall the desire of the righteous be granted?
6049shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
6049shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?''
6049shall we sin that grace may abound?
6049should thy lies make men hold their peace?
6049should we pray for faith, for justification by grace, and a truly sanctified heart?
6049sin, what art thou?
6049so truly doth thy voice cause heaven to echo again upon thy head, Cut him down; why doth he cumber the ground?
6049so was he: are we tempted to commit idolatry, and to worship the devil?
6049so was he: are we tempted to murder ourselves?
6049so was he: are we tempted with the bewitching vanities of this world?
6049such a length in the arm of the Lord, that he can reach those that are gone away, as far as they could?
6049such highly- favoured Christians in Doubting Castle?
6049such privileges as these?
6049teach men to put God and his Word out of their minds, by running to merry company, by running to the world, by gossiping?
6049tempted to destroy thyself?

6049that Daniel could have been safe among the lions?
6049that I heard speak well of the holy Word of God?
6049that Jonah could have come home to his country, when he was in the whale''s belly?
6049that he was to be crowned with thorns?
6049that he was to be crucified between two thieves, and to be pierced till blood and water came out of his side?
6049that he was to be scourged of the soldiers?
6049that is, he is so;''is he a pleasant child?''
6049that remember thy triumphant victory?
6049that the damned shall never be burned out in hell?
6049that thou mightest thereby go beyond and beguile thy neighbour?
6049that word came suddenly upon me,"What shall we then say to these things?
6049the desires of the flesh, or the lusts of the spirit, whose side art thou of?
6049the disciples] said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone?''
6049the people were surprised, and cried, What, is this Naomi?
6049the query in page 13. runs thus,"Will that faith which is without works justify?"
6049then how should I come?
6049then let old Good- deed save you from your distresses?
6049then they may be coming to him, for aught you know; and why will ye be worse than the brute, to speak evil of the things you know not?
6049there is yet a question, Whether it may be well with thy soul at last?
6049they think that she will be run down with a push, or, as they said,''What do these feeble Jews?
6049this question I ask thee, did or doth Christ obtain salvation for any, without that body which he took of the Virgin?
6049thou thinkest to escape the fear; but what wilt thou do with the pit?
6049thy God has bidden thee''open thy mouth wide''; he has bid thee open it wide, and promised, saying,''And I will fill it''; and wilt thou not desire?
6049to be in my case, who that so was could but have done so?
6049to believe great things, and yet not to concern himself with them?
6049to contemn him when he is on the throne, when he is on the throne of his glory?
6049to hear this trump of God?
6049to see him that wept and died for the sin of the world now ease his mind on Christ- abhorring sinners by rendering to them the just judgment of God?
6049to the salvation of the soul?
6049to truck+ with the devil?''
6049to what value will an imputative righteousness amount?''
6049was he I say, within his disciples, or without them, when he said,"I am the light of the world?"
6049was he a lover and a worshipper of God by Christ according to his word?
6049was he found among thieves?
6049was made the curse of God for me?
6049was not his mind elevated a thousand degrees beyond sense, carnal reason, fleshly love, and the desires of embracing temporal things?
6049was thine anger against the rivers?
