8301Why therefore shall we die before thy eyes?
8301and shall Sara that is ninety years old bring forth?
8301and whither goest thou?

8301and wilt thou not spare that place for the sake of the fifty just, if they be therein?
8301but if ill, shall not sin forthwith be present at the door?
8301did not I serve thee for Rachel?
8301or shall we be subject to thy dominion?
8301or what shall we say, or be able justly to allege?
8301or whither goest thou?
8301or whose are these before thee?
8301shall I and thy mother, and thy brethren worship thee upon the earth?
8301tell me: is there any place in thy father''s house to lodge?
8301what have we offended thee in, that thou hast brought upon me and upon my kingdom a great sin?
8301who art thou?
8301why hast thou deceived me?
800101:003:009 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

800101:012:018 And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me?
800101:012:019 Why saidst thou, She is my sister?
800101:013:009 Is not the whole land before thee?
800101:015:002 And Abram said, LORD God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
800101:015:008 And he said, LORD God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
800101:016:008 And he said, Hagar, Sarai''s maid, whence camest thou?

800101:017:017 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old?
800101:018:009 And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife?
800101:018:012 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
800101:018:013 And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?
800101:018:014 Is any thing too hard for the LORD?
800101:018:023 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
800101:019:012 And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides?
800101:020:004 But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, LORD, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?
800101:020:005 Said he not unto me, She is my sister?
800101:020:009 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us?
800101:020:010 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?
800101:021:007 And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck?
800101:021:017 And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar?
800101:021:029 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?
800101:024:031 And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without?
800101:024:047 And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou?
800101:024:058 And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man?
800101:024:065 For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us?
800101:025:022 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus?
800101:025:032 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
800101:026:009 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife; and how saidst thou, She is my sister?
800101:026:010 And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us?
800101:026:027 And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?
800101:027:018 And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son?
800101:027:020 And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son?
800101:027:024 And he said, Art thou my very son Esau?
800101:027:032 And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou?
800101:027:033 And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who?
800101:027:036 And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob?
800101:027:038 And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father?
800101:029:004 And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye?
800101:029:005 And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor?
800101:029:006 And he said unto them, Is he well?
800101:029:015 And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought?
800101:029:025 And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me?
800101:030:002 And Jacob''s anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in God''s stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?
800101:030:015 And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken my husband?
800101:030:031 And he said, What shall I give thee?
800101:031:014 And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father''s house?
800101:031:015 Are we not counted of him strangers?
800101:031:028 And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters?
800101:031:030 And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father''s house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?
800101:031:036 And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass?
800101:031:037 Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff?
800101:032:017 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou?
800101:032:027 And he said unto him, What is thy name?
800101:033:005 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee?
800101:033:008 And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met?
800101:034:023 Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of their''s be our''s?
800101:034:031 And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?
800101:037:008 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us?
800101:037:013 And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem?
800101:037:015 And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
800101:037:026 And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
800101:037:030 And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go?
800101:038:018 And he said, What pledge shall I give thee?
800101:038:021 Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is the harlot, that was openly by the way side?
800101:038:029 And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth?
800101:040:007 And he asked Pharaoh''s officers that were with him in the ward of his lord''s house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to day?
800101:041:038 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
800101:042:001 Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
800101:042:022 And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear?
800101:043:006 And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?
800101:043:007 And they said, The man asked us straitly of our state, and of our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive?
800101:043:027 And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake?
800101:044:005 Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth?
800101:044:007 And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words?
800101:044:015 And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done?
800101:044:016 And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord?
800101:044:019 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
800101:044:034 For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me?
800101:045:003 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live?
800101:046:033 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation?
800101:047:003 And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation?
800101:047:008 And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou?
800101:048:008 And Israel beheld Joseph''s sons, and said, Who are these?
800101:050:019 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?
8001And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God?
8001And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
8001And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
8001And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?
8001And he said, I know not: Am I my brother''s keeper?
8001And he said, What needeth it?
8001And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name?
8001And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me?
8001And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it?
8001Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
8001Is he yet alive?
8001Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
8001and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
8001and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down?
8001and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin?
8001and whither goest thou?
8001and whither wilt thou go?
8001and whose are these before thee?
8001and why is thy countenance fallen?
8001and wouldest thou take away my son''s mandrakes also?
8001did not I serve with thee for Rachel?
8001have ye another brother?
8001or how shall we clear ourselves?
8001or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us?
8001tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father''s house for us to lodge in?
8001tell me, what shall thy wages be?
8001what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me?
8001what shall we speak?
8001where is he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him?
8001wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?
8001why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
8001wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
8228003:009 Yahweh God called to the man, and said to him,"Where are you?"
8228003:011 God said,"Who told you that you were naked?
8228003:013 Yahweh God said to the woman,"What is this you have done?"
8228004:006 Yahweh said to Cain,"Why are you angry?
8228004:007 If you do well, will it not be lifted up?
8228004:009 Yahweh said to Cain,"Where is Abel, your brother?"
8228004:010 Yahweh said,"What have you done?
8228012:018 Pharaoh called Abram and said,"What is this that you have done to me?
8228012:019 Why did you say,''She is my sister,''so that I took her to be my wife?
8228013:009 Is n''t the whole land before you?
8228015:002 Abram said,"Lord Yahweh, what will you give me, seeing I go childless, and he who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?"
8228015:008 He said,"Lord Yahweh, how will I know that I will inherit it?"
8228016:008 He said,"Hagar, Sarai''s handmaid, where did you come from?
8228016:013 She called the name of Yahweh who spoke to her,"You are a God who sees,"for she said,"Have I even stayed alive after seeing him?"
8228017:017 Then Abraham fell on his face, and laughed, and said in his heart,"Will a child be born to him who is one hundred years old?
8228018:009 They said to him,"Where is Sarah, your wife?
8228018:012 Sarah laughed within herself, saying,"After I have grown old will I have pleasure, my lord being old also?"
8228018:013 Yahweh said to Abraham,"Why did Sarah laugh, saying,''Will I really bear a child, yet I am old?''
8228018:014 Is anything too hard for Yahweh?
8228018:023 Abraham drew near, and said,"Will you consume the righteous with the wicked?
8228018:024 What if there are fifty righteous within the city?
8228018:028 What if there will lack five of the fifty righteous?
8228018:029 He spoke to him yet again, and said,"What if there are forty found there?"
8228019:005 They called to Lot, and said to him,"Where are the men who came in to you this night?
8228019:012 The men said to Lot,"Do you have anybody else here?
8228020:005 Did n''t he tell me,''She is my sister?''
8228020:009 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him,"What have you done to us?
8228020:010 Abimelech said to Abraham,"What did you see, that you have done this thing?"
8228021:007 She said,"Who would have said to Abraham, that Sarah would nurse children?
8228021:029 Abimelech said to Abraham,"What do these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves mean?"
8228022:007 Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said,"My father?"
8228024:005 The servant said to him,"What if the woman is n''t willing to follow me to this land?
8228024:039 I said to my master,''What if the woman will not follow me?''
8228024:047 I asked her, and said,''Whose daughter are you?''
8228024:058 They called Rebekah, and said to her,"Will you go with this man?"
8228024:065 She said to the servant,"Who is the man who is walking in the field to meet us?"
8228026:010 Abimelech said,"What is this you have done to us?
8228026:027 Isaac said to them,"Why have you come to me, since you hate me, and have sent me away from you?"
8228027:001 It happened, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his elder son, and said to him,"My son?"
8228027:012 What if my father touches me?
8228027:018 He came to his father, and said,"My father?"
8228027:020 Isaac said to his son,"How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?"
8228027:024 He said,"Are you really my son Esau?"
8228027:032 Isaac his father said to him,"Who are you?"
8228027:036 He said,"Is n''t he rightly named Jacob?
8228027:038 Esau said to his father,"Have you but one blessing, my father?
8228029:004 Jacob said to them,"My relatives, where are you from?"
8228029:005 He said to them,"Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?"
8228029:006 He said to them,"Is it well with him?"
8228029:015 Laban said to Jacob,"Because you are my brother, should you therefore serve me for nothing?
8228030:002 Jacob''s anger was kindled against Rachel, and he said,"Am I in God''s place, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?"
8228030:015 She said to her,"Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband?
8228030:031 He said,"What shall I give you?"
8228031:014 Rachel and Leah answered him,"Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father''s house?
8228031:015 Are n''t we accounted by him as foreigners?
8228031:026 Laban said to Jacob,"What have you done, that you have deceived me, and carried away my daughters like captives of the sword?
8228031:030 Now, you want to be gone, because you greatly longed for your father''s house, but why have you stolen my gods?"
8228031:037 Now that you have felt around in all my stuff, what have you found of all your household stuff?
8228032:017 He commanded the foremost, saying,"When Esau, my brother, meets you, and asks you, saying,''Whose are you?
8228032:027 He said to him,"What is your name?"
8228033:005 He lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said,"Who are these with you?"
8228033:008 Esau said,"What do you mean by all this company which I met?"
8228034:023 Wo n''t their livestock and their possessions and all their animals be ours?
8228034:031 They said,"Should he deal with our sister as with a prostitute?"
8228037:008 His brothers said to him,"Will you indeed reign over us?
8228037:013 Israel said to Joseph,"Are n''t your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem?
8228037:026 Judah said to his brothers,"What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?
8228037:030 He returned to his brothers, and said,"The child is no more; and I, where will I go?"
8228038:018 He said,"What pledge will I give you?"
8228038:021 Then he asked the men of her place, saying,"Where is the prostitute, that was at Enaim by the road?"
8228038:029 It happened, as he drew back his hand, that behold, his brother came out, and she said,"Why have you made a breach for yourself?"
8228040:007 He asked Pharaoh''s officers who were with him in custody in his master''s house, saying,"Why do you look so sad today?"
8228041:038 Pharaoh said to his servants,"Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?"
8228042:001 Now Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, and Jacob said to his sons,"Why do you look at one another?"
8228042:022 Reuben answered them, saying,"Did n''t I tell you, saying,''Do n''t sin against the child,''and you would n''t listen?
8228043:006 Israel said,"Why did you treat me so badly, telling the man that you had another brother?"
8228043:007 They said,"The man asked directly concerning ourselves, and concerning our relatives, saying,''Is your father still alive?
8228043:027 He asked them of their welfare, and said,"Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke?
8228043:029 He lifted up his eyes, and saw Benjamin, his brother, his mother''s son, and said,"Is this your youngest brother, of whom you spoke to me?"
8228044:005 Is n''t this that from which my lord drinks, and by which he indeed divines?
8228044:007 They said to him,"Why does my lord speak such words as these?
8228044:015 Joseph said to them,"What deed is this that you have done?
8228044:016 Judah said,"What will we tell my lord?
8228044:019 My lord asked his servants, saying,''Have you a father, or a brother?''
8228046:033 It will happen, when Pharaoh summons you, and will say,''What is your occupation?''
8228047:003 Pharaoh said to his brothers,"What is your occupation?"
8228047:008 Pharaoh said to Jacob,"How many are the days of the years of your life?"
8228047:019 Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land?
8228048:008 Israel saw Joseph''s sons, and said,"Who are these?"
8228050:019 Joseph said to them,"Do n''t be afraid, for am I in the place of God?
8228Am I my brother''s keeper?"
8228Did n''t I serve with you for Rachel?
8228Do n''t you know that such a man as I can indeed divine?"
8228Does my father still live?"
8228Have you another brother?''
8228Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?"
8228He said to Laban,"What is this you have done to me?
8228He said to the woman,"Has God really said,''You shall not eat of any tree of the garden?''"
8228He said to them,"Where did you come from?"
8228He said,"Have n''t you reserved a blessing for me?"
8228He said,"Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?"
8228He said,"Lord, will you kill even a righteous nation?
8228He said,"Why is it that you ask what my name is?"
8228He said,"Why?
8228His father rebuked him, and said to him,"What is this dream that you have dreamed?
8228How have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin?
8228How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?"
8228How then should we steal silver or gold out of your lord''s house?
8228If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good will my life do me?"
8228Is he yet alive?"
8228Is there any way we could know that he would say,''Bring your brother down?''"
8228Is there room in your father''s house for us to lodge in?"
8228Jacob answered Laban,"What is my trespass?
8228Joseph said to them,"Do n''t interpretations belong to God?
8228Must I bring your son again to the land you came from?"
8228Now when will I provide for my own house also?"
8228Oh let me escape there( is n''t it a little one?
8228Or how will we clear ourselves?
8228Or will you indeed have dominion over us?"
8228She said,"If it be so, why do I live?"
8228She said,"What will you give me, that you may come in to me?"
8228She said,"Will you give me a pledge, until you send it?"
8228Should n''t the Judge of all the earth do right?"
8228Tell me, what will your wages be?"
8228The angel of God called to Hagar out of the sky, and said to her,"What ails you, Hagar?
8228The man asked him,"What are you looking for?"
8228Their hearts failed them, and they turned trembling one to another, saying,"What is this that God has done to us?"
8228What good is the birthright to me?"
8228What if ten are found there?"
8228What if there are thirty found there?"
8228What if there are twenty found there?"
8228What is a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver between me and you?
8228What is my sin, that you have hotly pursued after me?
8228What then will I do for you, my son?"
8228What will we speak?
8228When you overtake them, ask them,''Why have you rewarded evil for good?
8228Where are you going?
8228Where are you going?"
8228Who are you, my son?"
8228Who will rouse him up?
8228Whose are these before you?''
8228Why did n''t you tell me that she was your wife?
8228Why did you say,''She is my sister?''"
8228Why do you stand outside?
8228Why has the expression of your face fallen?
8228Why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?"
8228Why then have you deceived me?"
8228Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves down to you to the earth?"
8228Will Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth?"
8228Will you consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous who are in it?
8228Will you destroy all the city for lack of five?"
8228Would you take away my son''s mandrakes, also?"
39395But what will this birthright profit us?
39395Fear not: for am I in the place of God? 39395 Have ye suffered all these things in vain, if it be yet in vain?"
39395If thou doest well, shalt thou not( as well as Abel) be accepted? 39395 Why look ye one upon another?
39395Ye have run well, what now hinders you?
39395Am I any nearer my inheritance?
39395And he said,"Behold the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?"
39395And indeed, if this life were all, might not God well be ashamed to call Himself our God?
39395And what is the result?
39395And what would be the consequence?
39395And why did they not do so?
39395Are there not in your life any objects for the sake of which you sacrifice that nearness to God, and that sure hold of Him you once enjoyed?
39395Being pressed thus for an answer to the question, What does God mean to make of my life?
39395Besides, where was a wife to be found?
39395But can Abraham have failed to let his fancy picture the deeds this lad might one day do at the head of his armed slaves?
39395But do men become humble by being told to become so, or by knowing they ought to be so?
39395But it comes to be an inquiry of some interest, How much information regarding a personal Messiah did the brethren receive from this prophecy?
39395But knowing the risk he ran, why did he go?
39395But of what good was this safety to be?
39395But what could an ambitious, happy youth make of this, till he was thrown into the pit and left there?
39395But what is all this to my purpose?
39395But which degrades God most, and which exalts Him most?
39395Can I ask this man to trust to inward whisperings which seem to have so misled me?
39395Can the dignity and weight of responsibility steady a man?
39395Can the most sacred or impressive memories secure a man against sin?
39395Can we trace to Abram''s faith any part of his action at this time?
39395Can you not understand His meaning when He comes to you with offers of pardon and acts of oblivion?
39395Can you wonder that an ear trained to be so sensitive to the near earthly sounds, should quite have lost the range of heavenly voices?
39395Could his father at the last hour, and after so many thronged years, and before his brethren, recall the old sin?
39395Did Christ perfectly submit to and fulfil the will of God?
39395Did God just wipe out man as a boy wipes his slate clean, when he finds his calculation is turning out wrong?
39395Did He acknowledge the infinite evil of sin and patiently bear its penalties, still loving the Holy and Righteous God?
39395Did every one merely make use of him, and did no one give him pure love for his own sake?
39395Do you attend Church, do you come and decorously submit to a service?
39395Do you believe these things and can you forbear to use them?
39395Do you think the idea of the Incarnation too aerial and speculative to carry with you for help in rough, practical matters?
39395Does God not know what is oldest with us, what has been longest at our hearts, and is dearest to us?
39395Does He estimate the pain I must suffer if immediate relief do not come?
39395Does he feel his strength leave him so that he can not go on to bless the rest of his sons, and has but time to yield his own spirit to God?
39395Does not our faith, like Sarah''s, vary in proportion as the promise to be believed is unpractical?
39395Does that which satisfies me satisfy Him?
39395Else why forbid it?
39395Fain would he relieve them from their remorse and apprehension-- why, then, does he forbear?
39395From what have you received truest and deepest pleasure in life?
39395Had her hopes been nursed by means so extraordinary only that they might be so bitterly blighted?
39395Has His desire to cover sin no application to you?
39395Has he missed a step on the bank in the darkness, or stumbled or slipped on the slippery stones of the ford?
39395Has she not acted madly in fleeing from her only protectors?
39395Have we or have we not the spirit of the Son?
39395Have you cordially and habitually fallen in with His will?
39395Have you fallen short of no good He intended you should do and gave you opportunity to do?
39395Have you loved Him in any proportion to His worthiness to be loved?
39395Have you no reason to be ashamed before God?
39395Have you thus given yourselves to God?
39395Have you zealously done His work in the world?
39395He contemplated the possibility of Sarah''s being taken from him; but, if this should happen, what became of the promised seed?
39395He had been known as the Friend of God, where could he be but in God''s dwelling- place?
39395He had given a blessing to one person under the impression that he was a different person; must not the blessing go to him for whom it was designed?
39395How can it be otherwise?
39395How can men be saved from living merely for sheep- feeding and cattle- breeding and trade and enjoyment?
39395How often do we pray for the bestowal of a blessing, and forget to pray for its continuance?
39395How then shall this angelic commission of enquiry proceed?
39395How, he asks, did Abram achieve righteousness?
39395If He is willing, why all this unworthy dealing with Him, as if the whole idea and accomplishment of salvation did not proceed from Him?
39395If He makes Himself known to us, if He claims connection with us, have we not here the promise of all good?
39395If day by day you are saying,"Lead Thou me on,"if you say,"What wilt Thou give me?"
39395If it is possible that you should share in the character and destiny of Christ, can a healthy ambition crave anything more or higher?
39395If the future is to be as momentous in results as the past has certainly been filled with preparation, have you no caring to share in these results?
39395If the rude matter of the world could_ sing_ for them, what might it not do for them?
39395If then the Flood extended to Australia and destroyed all animal life there, what are we compelled to suppose as the order of events?
39395If you had been Abel''s murderer, would you have been justly afraid of God''s anger?
39395If, then, you ask, Was this just a beginning again where Adam began?
39395Is it not from your friendships?
39395Is it not the energy which opposition excites?
39395Is life not worth having even on these terms?
39395Is my life God''s ideal?
39395Is not Christ with many a mere stepping- stone for their own advancement, and of interest only so long as they are in anxiety about their own fate?
39395Is not the very crown of life depicted in the testimony given to Enoch, that"he pleased God"?
39395Is not this a summons that comes appropriately to every man?
39395Is obedience to Him only to involve me in misery from which other men are exempt?
39395Is there no reason for shame on your part before God?
39395Is there then any resulting benefit to character in this so common experience of delayed expectations?
39395It would appear as if her despair had been needless; at least from the words addressed to her,"What aileth thee, Hagar?"
39395May not the messengers of God yet say, Who hath believed our report?
39395Might he not be better off among his old friends in Charran?
39395Must I again loosen my hold, and part with my chief attainment?
39395Must I cut my moorings and launch again upon this ocean of faith with a horizon always receding and that seems absolutely boundless?
39395Must he not have been tempted, as his father had been, to take matters into his own hand?
39395Now how else could Abraham''s mind have been so effectually lifted to this exalted hope as by the disappointment of his original and much tamer hope?
39395Of course you would lose what you call your hope of heaven-- but what would you find you had lost in this world?
39395Should he not brave their ridicule and return?
39395Suppose Christ''s promise failed, in what would you be the losers?
39395The first reason is:"Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do?
39395The people he had saved from famine, was there one of them that regarded him with anything resembling personal affection?
39395The question always is, not, what have you done, but what are you now doing?
39395There is a great deal to induce a son to do so; this calling has been successful in his father''s case, what better can he do than follow?
39395Think you,''mid all this mighty sum Of things for ever speaking, That nothing of itself will come, But we must still be seeking?
39395This surely is encouraging; for who is not conscious of much difficulty in thinking rightly of God?
39395This treatment, who among us has not extended to Him who in His whole experience so closely resembles Joseph?
39395Thou tellest my wanderings; put Thou my tears in Thy bottle; are they not in Thy book?"
39395To every one therefore He repeats this question,"Where is thy brother?"
39395To this motive John ascribes the act:"Wherefore slew he him?
39395To what straits was he to be first reduced?
39395To whom could she go in Egypt?
39395Was he ever to get out of this prison- house?
39395Was he to consider himself bound by what he had done under a misapprehension?
39395Was he to submit even to his father in such a matter?
39395Was not this, then, security enough that they would never again perpetrate a crime of like atrocity?
39395Was the promised land worth having after all?
39395Was there one there who would remember the little slave girl or who would care to show her a kindness?
39395Was there to be any connection with the old world at all, or was all to begin afresh?
39395Were the promises, the traditions, the events, the genealogies of the old world of any significance now?
39395What can Abraham have thought?
39395What could he expect from strangers, if his own brothers had found him so obnoxious?
39395What could such contradiction mean?
39395What else is it ruins half the people who suppose themselves well on the way of life?
39395What have you ventured that you would not have ventured but for God''s promise?
39395What intervened between the first and last visit of his brethren to make it seem advisable to disclose himself and invite them?
39395What is hidden must, we conclude, have some interest for us-- else why hide it from us?
39395What is the meaning, purpose, and use of this opposition to his entrance?
39395What sawest thou that thou hast done this thing?"
39395What then are the truths taught us in these chapters?
39395What then has your faith done?
39395What was probably Jacob''s state of mind when he lay down on that hill- side?
39395What, in these circumstances, should we straightway do?
39395When any man in that age began to ask himself the question which all men in all ages ask, How shall I win the favour of God?
39395Whence this mystery, and disguise, and circuitous compassing of his end?
39395Which is the true view of life, which is the view to guide_ us_ in choosing and refusing the enjoyments and pursuits that are presented to us?
39395Who can say he does not see what more God could do for him than has here been done?
39395Who could have been surprised if in this horror of great darkness the mind of Abraham had become unhinged?
39395Who could wonder if he had slain_ himself_ to make the loss of Isaac impossible?
39395Who does not feel that precisely here, where the light should be brightest, clouds and darkness seem to gather?
39395Who does not know of those moments of weakness, when we are fagged with work, and with our physical energy our moral tone has become relaxed?
39395Why does he not at this juncture disclose himself?
39395Why should he not expostulate, resist, flee?
39395Why spend all my life in waiting and seeking for high spiritual things when I have so much with which I can be moderately satisfied?
39395Why then do any not walk with God?
39395Why then make any announcement to Abraham if the catastrophe can not be averted, and if Abraham is to turn back to his own encampment?
39395Why, then, did he proceed so cautiously?
39395Why, then, was Jacob thus mysteriously held back while his household were quietly moving forward in the darkness?
39395Why?
39395Will the Son of man when He comes find it on earth?
39395With how different a meaning then comes now to us this question of God''s:"Where is thy brother?"
39395Without Him what can we make of those suspicions of a future judgment, or of those yearnings after God, that hang about our hearts?
39395Without the law of gravitation the universe would rush into ruin, but who has ever seen this force?
39395Yet who knocks at this door?
39395You may be in circumstances which tempt you to say, Does God see the inextricable difficulty I am in?
39395it satisfies me( all but a little bit); might it not satisfy God?
37915And Abram said, Lord God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go_ childless_, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus? 37915 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?"
37915How long, O Lord?
37915Is it not_ I_ that have sinned?
37915It is God that justifieth, who is he that condemneth?
37915Lovest thou me?... 37915 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord whither goest thou?
37915The way of Cainwill be followed by"the error of Balaam,"in its consummated form; and then will come"the gainsaying of Core;"and what then?
37915Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he had offered Isaac his son on the altar?
37915What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man_ say_ he hath faith, and have not works?
37915Where art thou?
37915Where is Sodom? 37915 Which of you, by taking thought, can add to his stature one cubit?"
37915Who hath_ first_ given to him?
37915Yea, hath God said, ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
37915A man who is blind and knows it, can have his eyes opened; but what can be done for one who thinks he sees, when he really does not?
37915Again, when Satan stands forth to resist Joshua, the word is,"The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan,... is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?"
37915Am I dwelling sufficiently near the fountain- head to be able, with a worshipping spirit, to behold all the creature streams dried up?
37915And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?
37915And can not the wisest sage find a true mirror in which to see himself reflected in the conduct of a child?
37915And even though they should attain their object, what is it?
37915And for what purpose?
37915And for what were they designed?
37915And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked?
37915And is not the Church thus needful to Christ?
37915And is this not true, in reference to our heavenly Father?
37915And now, my beloved Christian reader, what else have we wherewith to stand, in service for Christ, in an evil day, like the present?
37915And the children struggled together within her: and she said, If it be so, why am I thus?
37915And to what end was this?
37915And what then?
37915And what use did he make of his knowledge and his elevated position?
37915And what was man doing while the Son of God was in the grave?
37915And who can tell how soon?
37915And who can tell what would be the deadening effect of uninterrupted engagement with this world''s traffic?
37915And why?
37915And why?
37915And yet, how else could it be?
37915And, my reader, is there not a deep lesson in all this for the present age?
37915Are you ready to"Crown him Lord of all?"
37915Are you ready?
37915Because there is not so much as a single chink in your circumstances, through which a vain desire might make its escape?
37915Because you have all that your poor rambling hearts would seek after?
37915But does all this set aside man''s responsibility to believe a plain testimony set before him in God''s Word?
37915But how can fallen nature surrender that to which it is allied?
37915But how is she to reflect this light?
37915But how was this?
37915But how?
37915But what does he first do?
37915But whence came this strange and dreaded thing, death?
37915But who can utter all that is wrapped up in the idea of God''s being a_ seeker_?
37915Can he deliver himself from the power of death, and walk forth, in life and liberty, beyond the limits of its dreary domain?
37915Can he open the gates of the grave?
37915Can he raise the dead?
37915Could God rest in the midst of thorns and briers?
37915Could God sit down, as it were, and celebrate a sabbath in the midst of such circumstances?
37915Could a sinner''s toil remove the curse and stain of sin?
37915Could faith have led him to say,"I shall be destroyed, I and my house?"
37915Could he rest amid the sighs and tears, the groans and sorrows, the sickness and death, the degradation and guilt of a ruined world?
37915Could it do any or all of these things?
37915Could it furnish a proper ground of acceptance for a sinner?
37915Could it rob death of its sting, or the grave of its victory?
37915Could it satisfy the claims of an infinitely holy God?
37915Could it set aside the penalty which was due to sin?
37915Could man do that?
37915Could man do that?
37915Could man do that?
37915Could man do that?
37915Could not man''s genius invent some way of escape?
37915Could not"the mighty man deliver himself by his much strength?"
37915Dear reader, are you ready?
37915Did he place more confidence in a few cattle than in Jehovah, to whom he had just been committing himself?
37915Did it operate thus, in the case of Adam and Eve?
37915Did righteousness cover the earth, as the waters cover the sea?
37915Does God_ entirely_ fill my future?
37915Does he at once cast himself upon God?
37915Does it convey no teaching?
37915Does it make any difference to me to see the apparent channel of all my blessings dried up?
37915God seeking a sinner?
37915God would have fenced her round about from every ill; and who can harm those who are the happy subjects of his unslumbering guardianship?
37915Had Noah any anxiety about the billows of divine judgment?
37915Had he forgotten his prayer?
37915Has not he abolished it?
37915Has this no voice for us?
37915Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
37915Have men or circumstances aught to do therein?
37915Have you believed the message?
37915Have you embraced the Son?
37915He might have said, in the triumphant language of Romans viii.,"If God be for us, who can be against us?"
37915Hear his fallacious reasoning:"Behold, I am at the point to die; and what profit shall this birthright do to me?"
37915How can I ever be fit to dwell in that light?
37915How can it be attracted by that in which it sees no charms?
37915How can it undergo any change?
37915How can she?
37915How can that which is thus spoken of ever undergo any improvement?
37915How can you correct an error which consists in departing from that which alone can correct any thing?
37915How could Noah have"preached righteousness"for 120 years if he had not had the word of God as the ground of his preaching?
37915How could fallen nature breathe an atmosphere so pure?
37915How could he have persevered in testifying of"judgment to come,"when not a cloud appeared on the world''s horizon?
37915How could he have withstood the scoffs and sneers of an infidel world?
37915How could he think of delivering Lot from the power of the world, if he himself were governed thereby?
37915How could he?
37915How could it?
37915How could the sense of what_ I am_ ever bring me to God, if not accompanied by the faith of what_ God is_?
37915How could there be?
37915How could we?
37915How did he know it?
37915How does it end?
37915How else could it be?
37915How many do we see surrounded by God''s blessings, who neither have, nor wish for, God''s presence?
37915How then?
37915How was he occupied in the Lord''s presence?
37915How was it in the days of Noah?
37915How, then, did the sinner reply to the faithful and gracious inquiry of the Blessed God?
37915If Christ were on earth, now, what would his path be?
37915If he had been looking to God alone to appease Esau, could he have said,"I will appease him by a present?"
37915If it_ can not be_ subject to the law of God, how can it be improved?
37915If we have not therein the Church''s existence directly revealed, how could we have the Church''s hope?
37915In himself?
37915In the former, I say, he stood alone, for who could have stood with him?
37915Infidelity may ask,"How?
37915Is he evil in his thoughts, evil in his words, evil in his actions?
37915Is it because he is a_ better man_ than the worshipper under the law?
37915Is it because he is not a dear child?
37915Is it because you are so well off in the world?
37915Is there any space allotted to the creature?
37915Is this to be the ground of our contentment?
37915Is your heart in full harmony with God''s on this point?
37915It reveals him, not as exacting aught from man,( for what could be expected from one who has died a bankrupt?)
37915Just so now, who can touch those who have, by faith, retreated into the shadow of the cross?
37915Need we wonder, therefore, that Satan''s grand design was to rob the creature of the true knowledge of the only true God?
37915No matter what we may think about ourselves, nor yet what man may think about us; the great question is, What does God think about us?
37915Nor should we, when in a wrong position, stop to inquire, as we so often do,"Where can I find any thing better?"
37915Now, the question is, Shall we refuse to suffer from the hand of man_ with him_ who suffered from the hand of God_ for us_?
37915On the other hand, is he pure in thought, holy in conversation, gracious in action?
37915On whom or what am I leaning, at this moment?
37915Perhaps not, but you have a_ heart_ for Christ?
37915Peter?
37915She presumes to place herself between God and the conscience; and who can do this with impunity?
37915Should he, therefore, have concluded that he was not in his right place?
37915Should this terrify us?
37915Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear?
37915Still, why did not Abraham make choice of Sodom?
37915The first step in her downward course was her hearkening to the question,"Hath God said?"
37915The heart rejoices, after reading, six times, the sad record,"he died,"to find, that the seventh did not die; and when we ask, How was this?
37915The knowledge of God is the source of life,--yea, is itself life; and until a man has life, what is he, or what can he be?
37915The question for every believer is not,"what am I?"
37915There lay the inheritance stretching out before the patriarch''s eye, in all its magnificent dimensions; but where was the heir?
37915Therein I may see God''s power, his majesty, and his wisdom: but what if all these things should be ranged against me?
37915This is referred to in Malachi, where we read,"I have loved you, saith the Lord; yet ye say, wherein hast thou loved us?
37915This necessarily shuts man out, as regards his co- operation, for what can he do in the midst of a scene of death?
37915Thus, in the chapter before us, the question,"Hath God said?"
37915To admit the question,"hath God said?"
37915To have spoken a word against Sodom and its ways would have been to condemn himself,--for why was he there?
37915To make Ishmael better?
37915To what am I looking?
37915True, he finished his work,--blessedly, gloriously finished it,--but where did he spend the Sabbath- day?
37915True, he had toiled to produce this offering; but what of that?
37915Was Abraham''s call to Canaan a speculation?
37915Was God''s truth dominant?
37915Was he making a god of his present?
37915Was it a mere theory about which he might talk or argue, while, at the same time, he continued in Charran?
37915Was it an elevated, influential position in this world?
37915Was it by having access to the page of God''s secret and eternal decrees?
37915Was not Esau Jacob''s brother?
37915Was the earth filled with the knowledge of the Lord?
37915What could the Blessed One have seen in man, to lead him to seek for him?
37915What did Lot gain in the way of happiness and contentment?
37915What did they mean?
37915What is our resource?
37915What is the moral effect of this?
37915What is the value of a chilling orthodoxy without a living Christ, known in all his powerful, personal attractions?
37915What remedy could be devised for this?
37915What rock?
37915What shall we speak?
37915What stranger could understand or appreciate it?
37915What testimony was Lot in Sodom?
37915What then?
37915What then?
37915What was the consequence?
37915What was the goal of Christ''s earthly career?
37915What wave could penetrate that ark which was"pitched within and without with pitch?"
37915What will be the result of thus acting?
37915What, then, are we to despise the unseen?
37915What, then, was the remedy?
37915What, therefore, are we to learn from the chapter before us?
37915What, therefore, made the vast difference?
37915Where are the cities of the plain,--those cities which were once all life, and stir, and bustle?
37915Where are they now?
37915Where could I see all these things but in the cross?
37915Where could all these be displayed, but in a world of sinners?
37915Where is Gomorrah?
37915Where is the answer?
37915Where is the divine warrant for such a statement?
37915Where would it terminate?
37915Where?
37915Which was-- Abraham or Lot-- able to do the more good?
37915Whither would it tend?
37915Who could open what God had shut?
37915Who could think of calling his faith in question?
37915Who could touch Noah?
37915Who sent them?
37915Who would not honor him with the heart''s fullest confidence?
37915Who would not trust him?
37915Why did not the strife drive him into the world?
37915Why select such a spot?
37915Why so determined to weigh out the full price"current with the merchant?"
37915Why was Abraham so particular about this purchase?
37915Why was he so anxious to make good his claim to the field and cave of Ephron on righteous principles?
37915Why was it not an occasion of stumbling to him?
37915Why, therefore, contend for that which has no foundation in the Word?
37915Why?
37915Why?
37915Why?
37915Why?
37915Will either God or man be satisfied with a powerless and profitless profession?
37915Would he have said this if he had really entered into the meaning of prayer, or true dependence upon God?
37915Would we like to walk with him?
37915and the son of man that thou visitest him?
37915but,"what is Christ?"
37915or how shall we clear ourselves?
37915reads it, if thou offer correctly,[ Greek: orthôs prosenenkês],) shalt thou not be accepted?"
37915we read,"And Judah said, What shall we say unto my Lord?
37915what is man?
37915when?"
37915where?
27978;( 13, 1):How long, O Jehovah?
27978Why is it then, that ye so anxiously expect such great consolations from this present life as to seem incapable of ever being completely satisfied? 27978 ( Ps 11, 3):Our lips are our own: who is lord over us?"
27978* Were all Ham''s descendents cursed?
27978--that ye do not agree to the truth, that ye do not permit yourselves to be persuaded by that which is true?
27978147. Who can doubt, moreover, that Satan by this new species of temptation increased greatly the grief of our first parents?
27978Adam therefore, as God''s representative, arraigns him with the words,"What hast thou done?"
27978Also in Psalms, 12, 4:"Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?"
27978And Gal 3, 1,"Who did bewitch you that ye should not obey the truth?"
27978And also above, in this case of Cain,"If thou doest well, shall not thy countenance be lifted up?"
27978And did not this at once prove his mind to be hostile against his brother?
27978And he said, I know not: Am I my brother''s keeper?_ 118.
27978And is the fact that God took Enoch to be understood as if the other patriarchs are neither with God nor living?
27978And what did he effect with his pride?
27978And what else could holy men do but weep when the world would in no wise permit itself to be corrected?
27978And whence is this?
27978And where was this land situated?
27978And who does not know the vices of a more advanced age?
27978And who opens the door?
27978And who would doubt that he had other failings besides this thirst for glory?
27978And why is this?
27978And yet in the midst of all these mighty sins, they fear not, but are proud and secure, boasting and saying,"What can the righteous do?"
27978Are not the purposes of God eternal and unalterable, incapable of being regretted?
27978Are not those whom God threatens to no longer judge by his Spirit likewise the sons of God?
27978Are the rest of us all in error?
27978As Peter says( 2 Pet 2, 5), if he"spared not the ancient world,"how much less will he spare the popes or the emperors who rage against his Word?
27978As if he had said: I have killed a man''tis true, but what is that to you?
27978As when he says,"What man is there that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it?
27978Awful is the voice of Christ when it utters the words,"Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?"
27978But do those extenuators have any Scriptural proof to rest upon?
27978But does he not confess by the very word"brother"which he takes upon his lips that he ought to be his keeper?
27978But does not Jacob become a servant when we see him, from fear of his brother, haste away into exile?
27978But how does this principle agree with the commandment of God?
27978But how is the destruction to be effected?
27978But if such was their life, you may say, how could they maintain the appearance and reputation of holiness and righteousness?
27978But is it not the Lord himself who has ordained kings and wills that all men should honor and obey them?
27978But tell me, what language has there ever been that men easily have learned to speak from grammatical rules?
27978But what does Moses mean by saying that the fountains of the great deep burst, and that the windows of heaven were opened?
27978But what does he imagine?
27978But what happens?
27978But what is the need of so many words?
27978But what success has Cain with his attempt?
27978But when God, in this way, has shaken out the wheat and gathered the grain in its place, what, think you, shall be the future of the chaff?
27978But who should dare to accuse God of untruthfulness because he preserves the Church in a manner unknown and undesired by man?
27978But who would believe statements for which there is no authority in the Scriptures?
27978But why does Noah not say,"Blessed be Shem,"instead of,"Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem"?
27978But why does he deliver his discourse not before his church but at home, and only before his wives?
27978But why does he treat the earth so ruthlessly since all this was done without her will?
27978But why waste any more time upon immaterial matters, particularly as we see that the suggestions of the rabbis are not at all wise?
27978But why, you may say, should God need to complain thus?
27978But you say, what will be the meaning of this?
27978But you will say, perhaps, Of what import is it that Noah first begat sons when he was five hundred years old?
27978But, I ask you, what is the value of this figment?
27978But, I ask you, who has given command to do those things?
27978But, I ask, why is not complaint made also of the men, or why are not the daughters of God included in this complaint?
27978But, you ask, if because of sin the nature of animals became completely altered, how could Noah control them, especially the savage and fierce ones?
27978But, you say, why do they fear when they are stronger?
27978Can he not when it pleases him suddenly destroy the whole world?
27978Can you not discern the signs of the times?
27978Can, then, the natural powers of man be said to have remained unimpaired, seeing that man''s thoughts are always set upon evil things?
27978Could he have brought a stronger accusation against himself, in view of the fact that Christ immediately turns his words against him?
27978Could words be more appalling than these, that Noah alone was righteous before the Lord?
27978David uses the same verb:"If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?"
27978Did God, then, permit man to use also the unclean animals for food?
27978Did it exist before the flood?
27978Did not Adam also, and Seth, and Cainan, together with their descendants-- did not all these, also, walk with God?
27978Does he not, on his return home, supplicate his brother and fall on his knees before him?
27978Does he sleep and care no longer for human affairs?
27978Does not God safeguard the interests of Abel better than he could possibly have done himself?
27978Dost thou alone please God?
27978Dost thou believe that thou will be kept safe to the end, when waters are boundless, and those immense clouds seem to be inexhaustible?
27978For how can any one explain what he does not understand?
27978For how could the maiden rejoice in a marriage with her brother who was a murderer, accursed and excommunicated?
27978For is it not much easier to be delivered from all danger and suffering in a single hour than to live for centuries amid colossal wickedness?
27978For take away original sin, and what need is there of Christ at all?
27978For that generation did not have the Word; how, then, could Lamech be believed to have been a prophet?
27978For what evil exists that is not found in this present life?
27978For what think you can be more horrible for our tyrants to hear than that the blood of the slain continually cries aloud and accuses them before God?
27978For who was it that disclosed the murder committed by Cain?
27978Had God not granted this power to man, what kind of lives, I ask you, would we lead?
27978Had they believed that such a punishment was close at hand, would they have gone on in a feeling of security?
27978Has anything more unnatural ever been heard?
27978Has the world ever seen anything more cruel than the Turks?
27978He did not say,"My Father, didst thou make me the keeper of my brother?"
27978He might rather have thought: If the human race is to perish, why should I marry?
27978He says:"When the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?"
27978He thinks he made a most plausible excuse when he said,"Am I my brother''s keeper?"
27978How can that voice be small or weak which, rising from earth, is heard by God in heaven?
27978How can we reconcile such purpose of the creator with the fact that he destroyed all mankind except eight souls?
27978How could Abel have inflicted on his brother such vengeance as God does, now that Abel is dead?
27978How could he approve the corruption of such degenerate progeny?
27978How could he, if alive, execute such judgment on his brother as God here executes?
27978How would it otherwise be possible for a boy of ten years to control an entire herd of cattle?
27978How, then, can anything be aught but evil that proceeds from ignorance and hatred of God?
27978How, then, is it that the first world, called into being in this way through the Word, should, to use Peter''s expression, perish by water?
27978How, then, was it true that Ham was cursed and Shem was blessed?
27978I am quite certain that very wicked men once lived in this country of ours; how could we otherwise explain the parched soil and barren sands?
27978If God foresees everything, why does the text say that he now first sees?
27978If God is wise, how can regret for having created anything befall him?
27978If a single spring could work such destruction what would be the result of the uncurbed power of ocean and seas?
27978If it were otherwise, why should he forbid the taking of human life?
27978If this is correct, then this passage is a witness for immortality; for how could God call to account a person who, being dead, no longer exists?
27978If this was permitted to Noah, why should we not be permitted to choose certain forms of worship?
27978If we believe this to be true, who would wish to be found among authorities, for whom so certain perdition is prepared and imminent?
27978In addition to the immoderation characterizing our life, how much have the fruits themselves lost in excellence?
27978In view of so great a sin, was it not quite gentle to inquire,"Where is Abel thy brother?"
27978In what, therefore, consists the holiness they vaunt?
27978Is it a wonder, then, that we become broken in spirit and desperate when God seems to have cast us away and everything goes against us?
27978Is it anything but a doctrine of works?
27978Is it because the sin of Cain, as a murderer, was greater than the sin of Adam and Eve?
27978Is it not a miracle that those eight human beings did not die from grief and fear?
27978Is it not because he was born of us, and because we, through our sin, are what we are?
27978Is it not true that the very languages most thoroughly reduced to rules, like Greek and Latin, are learned rather by practice?
27978Is it wonderful, then, that he deals with the Papists in the same way?
27978Is not Isaac also seen to be a most miserable beggar?
27978Is not the converse the truth?
27978Is not this, I pray you, a shocking corruption of the text before us?
27978Is the Word of God untruthful?
27978Justly under indictment for murder, he presently becomes the accuser of God, and expostulates with him:"Am I my brother''s keeper?"
27978Likewise Samuel-- what does he not do for Saul?
27978Many descriptions of cruelty are to be found on every hand, but could any be painted as more atrocious and execrable than is the case here?
27978May it not be that the apostles had revelations which St. Augustine and others did not have?
27978Men may therefore inquire, Where is the curse of the wicked?
27978Moreover, how is it likely that an ungodly person asks death at the very time when God exercises judgment?
27978Notwithstanding, what is their life and religion but incessant murder, robbery, rapine and other horrible outrages?
27978Now comes the thought: What is God doing?
27978Now, when the fact of this shameful murder was made known to the parents, what do we think must have been the sad scenes resulting?
27978On the contrary, though being the accused, he himself accuses God by replying,"Am I my brother''s keeper?"
27978Ought we not, therefore, to sigh for those future things, and to hate those of the present?
27978Shall we all be damned?
27978Shall we, then, consider such people to be the Church?
27978Should I, says he, endure forever such contempt for my Word?
27978Should we not, then, fear the judgment of God, such as he here announces to the old world?
27978Since government had been turned into tyranny and the home vitiated by adultery and whoredom, how could punishment be delayed any longer?

27978The priests and bishops heap contempt upon us, saying, What can those poverty stricken heretics do?
27978The question arises, how can God be truthful here?
27978The rabbins, however, expound the passage as a denial in the form of a question, as if he had said,"Is my iniquity greater than can be remitted?"
27978The wretched Papists press us today with this one argument: Do you believe that all the fathers have been in error?
27978Then God is not such a being as to promise deliverance from sin and death through the seed of woman?
27978Then the matter itself serves as refutation, for could anything more absurd have been devised?
27978There is no doubt that a depraved generation hated him inordinately, tantalized him in various ways and thus insulted him:"Art thou alone wise?
27978There was a common proverb of old,"What is it to the Romans that the Greeks die?"
27978They are all gone aside?"
27978They reason thus: This minister is poor and despised; why then should he reprove me, a prince, a nobleman, a magistrate?
27978They reasoned thus: If God is at all angry, can he not correct the disobedient by the sword, by pestilence?
27978This calamity they saw with their own eyes; who would doubt that they were violently stirred by the sight?
27978This expression is used by Paul in Gal 1, 10, where he says,"Am I now persuading men or God?"
27978To him who kept Jonah for three days in the midst of the sea and in the belly of the whale, what do you think is impossible?

27978Upon this, Cain, becoming abusive, makes answer to his parents, by no means with due reverence,"I know not: Am I my brother''s keeper?"
27978Was it not sufficient for him to perish alone, that he must join to himself a companion for the disaster?
27978Was it not, as the text here tells us, the blood of Abel, fairly deafening with its constant cries the ears of God and men?
27978Was not sin the cause?
27978We say it was a transition, but was it not a revolution?
27978We will dismiss innumerable other questions such as: What kind of air was used in the ark?
27978What can be more splendid than this name?
27978What could Adam and Seth teach greater or better than that the great deliverer, Christ, was promised to their posterity?

27978What is the cause of wrath so great?
27978What is the object of this lying invention but to cause us to do away with Christ altogether?
27978What is the reason for this feeling of security?
27978What lamentations?

27978What shall we say here?
27978What sighs and groans?
27978What sin should it be if one, happening upon a nude person, should see what is before him without his will?
27978What utterances could evince more contempt than these in the face of open sins?
27978What will be our fate in the frenzy, so to speak, that shall befall the world in its dotage?
27978What, in consequence, are we to do?
27978What, then shall we say of the inward vices when unbelief, presumption, neglect of the Word, and wicked views grow up?
27978What, then, shall we expect where such walls do not exist, where there is no Church at all?
27978What, then, shall we poor, oppressed people do?
27978What, then, you will ask, shall we declare with reference to these examples?
27978What, therefore, could possibly have come into the mind of Jerome when he believed the rabbins, who say Cain was expostulating with his brother?
27978What, therefore, is it to me that I am driven by my father from beneath his roof?
27978When she sees these ministrations to be unavailing, what else can she do but feel grievous pain at the destruction of the impenitent?
27978When, then, such broodings found their way also into the weak souls of the women, what cries, wails and tears may we surmise to have been the result?

27978Where were Luther''s spirit and writings among his early American followers?
27978Where will you find such eminent examples of chastity in the papacy?
27978Where, then, did Cain live with his wife?
27978Where, then, is vice in this case?
27978Which way can I turn, wretched man that I am?"
27978Whither can I flee?
27978Whither should they flee when the waters poured in upon them with such force?
27978Who can tell why God so permits?
27978Who of us, on finding a stranger lying by the wayside drunk and nude, would not at least cover him with his own coat to forestall disgrace?
27978Who would not prefer that they should embrace the Word and recover their senses?

27978Why did Caesar rule the world?
27978Why did Wesley''s followers become the dominating religious force in America?
27978Why did he not see this sin or depraved nature of man from the beginning of the world?
27978Why did others obey him, since he was only human like themselves-- no better, no stronger and liable to die as soon as themselves?
27978Why did the beasts here lose their fear of man?
27978Why did they not see the daughters of God and desire those in the Church and possess the promise of the seed?
27978Why did they rage against man?
27978Why do they not notice the repeated testimony of Moses, that Enoch"walked with God"?
27978Why do they not rather urge the real cause, that it was a special gift that Noah, a vigorous man, abstained from marriage for five hundred years?
27978Why does Paul elsewhere complain, and in Romans 7, 18 freely confess that there is nothing good in him?
27978Why does Scripture thus attribute to God such things as a temporary will, vision and purpose?

27978Why should I beget sons?
27978Why should pestilence be of rare occurrence?
27978Why should they say concerning Enoch in particular, that he was subject to the evil desires of the flesh?
27978Why was it?
27978Why, then, do rainbows assume different forms at different times?
27978Why, then, do we absurdly boast of free- will?
27978Why, then, does God give such careful instruction with reference to dimensions and materials?

27978Would it not be awful enough to partition the earth into three parts and to threaten destruction to one?
27978Would they not rather have repented and begun a better life?
27978You may ask: Why does God prescribe everything so accurately?
27978You may say, however: What kind of a window was it, or how could it exist in those frequent and violent rains?
27978_ And Jehovah said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother?
27978_ And he said, What hast thou done?
27978or why should there be need for Japheth to be beguiled or persuaded, and that by God himself?
26O father, what intends thy hand,she cried,"Against thy only son?
26Wherefore cease we, then?
26Ah, why should all mankind, For one man''s fault, thus guiltless be condemned, It guiltless?
26Among unequals what society Can sort, what harmony, or true delight?
26And am I now upbraided as the cause Of thy transgressing?
26And do they only stand By ignorance?
26And know''st for whom?
26And what are Gods, that Man may not become As they, participating God- like food?
26And what is faith, love, virtue, unassayed Alone, without exteriour help sustained?
26And who knows, Let this be good, whether our angry Foe Can give it, or will ever?
26And, though God Made thee without thy leave, what if thy son Prove disobedient, and reproved, retort,"Wherefore didst thou beget me?
26As he our darkness, can not we his light Imitate when we please?
26Being as I am, why didst not thou, the head, Command me absolutely not to go, Going into such danger, as thou saidst?
26Book III Hail, holy Light, offspring of Heaven firstborn, Or of the Eternal coeternal beam May I express thee unblam''d?
26But fallen he is; and now What rests, but that the mortal sentence pass On his transgression,--death denounced that day?
26But from me what can proceed, But all corrupt; both mind and will depraved Not to do only, but to will the same With me?
26But have I now seen Death?
26But is there yet no other way, besides These painful passages, how we may come To death, and mix with our connatural dust?
26But past who can recall, or done undo?
26But say, What meant that caution joined, If ye be found Obedient?
26But say, if our Deliverer up to Heaven Must re- ascend, what will betide the few His faithful, left among the unfaithful herd, The enemies of truth?
26But say, what mean those coloured streaks in Heaven Distended, as the brow of God appeased?
26But to Adam in what sort Shall I appear?
26But to convince the proud what signs avail, Or wonders move the obdurate to relent?
26But what if better counsels might erect Our minds, and teach us to cast off this yoke?
26But what will not ambition and revenge Descend to?
26But wherefore all night long shine these?
26But wherefore thou alone?
26But whom send I to judge them?
26But, first, whom shall we send In search of this new World?
26But, if death Bind us with after- bands, what profits then Our inward freedom?
26Can he make deathless death?
26Can it be death?
26Can it be sin to know?
26Can thus The image of God in Man, created once So goodly and erect, though faulty since, To such unsightly sufferings be debased Under inhuman pains?
26Did I request thee, Maker, from my clay To mould me Man?
26Doctrine which we would know whence learned: who saw When this creation was?
26Dwells in all Heaven charity so dear?
26Faithful to whom?
26First, what revenge?
26For though the Lord of all be infinite, Is his wrath also?
26For us alone Was death invented?
26For, what admirest thou, what transports thee so, An outside?
26Forbid who will, none shall from me withhold Longer thy offered good; why else set here?"
26Gabriel?
26Hadst thou the same free will and power to stand?
26Hast thou eaten of the tree, Whereof I gave thee charge thou shouldst not eat?
26Hast thou not made me here thy substitute, And these inferiour far beneath me set?
26Hast thou not wondered, Adam, at my stay?
26High matter thou enjoinest me, O prime of men, Sad task and hard: For how shall I relate To human sense the invisible exploits Of warring Spirits?
26How can he exercise Wrath without end on Man, whom death must end?
26How can they then acquitted stand In sight of God?
26How comes it thus?
26How dies the Serpent?
26If thence he scape, into whatever world, Or unknown region, what remains him less Than unknown dangers, and as hard escape?
26In heavenly Spirits could such perverseness dwell?
26In plain then, what forbids he but to know, Forbids us good, forbids us to be wise?
26In solitude What happiness, who can enjoy alone, Or, all enjoying, what contentment find?
26Is knowledge so despised?
26Is not the Earth With various living creatures, and the air Replenished, and all these at thy command To come and play before thee?
26Is that their happy state, The proof of their obedience and their faith?
26Is this the end Of this new glorious world, and me so late The glory of that glory, who now become Accursed, of blessed?
26Is this the way I must return to native dust?
26Is this, then, worst-- Thus sitting, thus consulting, thus in arms?
26It was but breath Of life that sinned; what dies but what had life And sin?
26Know ye not then said Satan, filled with scorn, Know ye not me?
26Knowest thou not Their language and their ways?
26Me first He ruined, now Mankind; whom will he next?"
26Meanwhile war arose, And fields were fought in Heaven: wherein remained( For what could else?)
26Must I thus leave thee Paradise?
26My voice thou oft hast heard, and hast not feared, But still rejoiced; how is it now become So dreadful to thee?
26O Earth, how like to Heaven, if not preferred For what God, after better, worse would build?
26O Teacher, some great mischief hath befallen To that meek man, who well had sacrificed; Is piety thus and pure devotion paid?
26O, then, at last relent: Is there no place Left for repentance, none for pardon left?
26Only begotten Son, seest thou what rage Transports our Adversary?
26Or envy, or what reserve forbids to taste?
26Or have ye chosen this place After the toil of battle to repose Your wearied virtue, for the ease you find To slumber here, as in the vales of Heaven?
26Or hear''st thou rather pure ethereal stream, Whose fountain who shall tell?
26Or is it envy?
26Or serve they, as a flowery verge, to bind The fluid skirts of that same watery cloud, Lest it again dissolve, and shower the earth?
26Or shall the Adversary thus obtain His end, and frustrate thine?
26Or when we lay Chained on the burning lake?
26Our Maker bids encrease; who bids abstain But our Destroyer, foe to God and Man?
26Peace is despaired; For who can think submission?
26Proud, art thou met?
26Satan, I know thy strength, and thou knowest mine; Neither our own, but given: What folly then To boast what arms can do?
26Say they who counsel war;"we are decreed, Reserved, and destined to eternal woe; Whatever doing, what can we suffer more, What can we suffer worse?"
26Say, Woman, what is this which thou hast done?
26Say, heavenly Powers, where shall we find such love?
26Seem I to thee sufficiently possessed Of happiness, or not?
26Serpent, thy overpraising leaves in doubt The virtue of that fruit, in thee first proved: But say, where grows the tree?
26Shall Truth fail to keep her word, Justice Divine not hasten to be just?
26Shall that be shut to Man, which to the Beast Is open?
26Shall we, then, live thus vile-- the race of Heaven Thus trampled, thus expelled, to suffer here Chains and these torments?
26Shalt thou give law to God?
26Sight so deform what heart of rock could long Dry- eyed behold?
26Sleepest thou, Companion dear?
26That thou art naked, who Hath told thee?
26That we were formed then sayest thou?
26The former, vain to hope, argues as vain The latter; for what place can be for us Within Heaven''s bound, unless Heaven''s Lord supreme We overpower?
26Their song was partial; but the harmony( What could it less when Spirits immortal sing?)
26This deep world Of darkness do we dread?
26This evening from the sun''s decline arrived, Who tells of some infernal Spirit seen Hitherward bent( who could have thought?)
26Thou art my father, thou my author, thou My being gav''st me; whom should I obey But thee?
26Thou hadst: whom hast thou then or what to accuse, But Heaven''s free love dealt equally to all?
26Thou to me thy thoughts Wast wo nt, I mine to thee was wo nt to impart; Both waking we were one; how then can now Thy sleep dissent?
26To the loss of that, Sufficient penalty, why hast thou added The sense of endless woes?
26To whom the Goblin, full of wrath, replied:--"Art thou that traitor Angel?
26Was I to have never parted from thy side?
26Was she thy God, that her thou didst obey Before his voice?
26Was this your discipline and faith engaged, Your military obedience, to dissolve Allegiance to the acknowledged Power supreme?
26What callest thou solitude?
26What can it the avail though yet we feel Strength undiminished, or eternal being To undergo eternal punishment?"
26What can your knowledge hurt him, or this tree Impart against his will, if all be his?
26What could I do, But follow straight, invisibly thus led?
26What fear I then?
26What fear we then?
26What fury, O son, Possesses thee to bend that mortal dart Against thy father''s head?
26What if the sun Be center to the world; and other stars, By his attractive virtue and their own Incited, dance about him various rounds?
26What if we find Some easier enterprise?
26What matter where, if I be still the same, And what I should be, all but less than he Whom thunder hath made greater?
26What may this mean?
26What should they do?
26What sit we then projecting peace and war?
26What sleep can close Thy eye- lids?
26What strength, what art, can then Suffice, or what evasion bear him safe, Through the strict senteries and stations thick Of Angels watching round?
26What thinkest thou then of me, and this my state?
26What though the field be lost?
26What when we fled amain, pursued and struck With Heaven''s afflicting thunder, and besought The Deep to shelter us?
26What will they then But force the Spirit of Grace itself, and bind His consort Liberty?
26What wonder?
26Where art thou, Adam, wo nt with joy to meet My coming seen far off?
26Which of those rebel Spirits adjudged to Hell Comest thou, escaped thy prison?
26Which of you will be mortal, to redeem Man''s mortal crime, and just the unjust to save?
26Who can in reason then, or right, assume Monarchy over such as live by right His equals, if in power and splendour less, In freedom equal?
26Who first seduced them to that foul revolt?
26Who of all ages to succeed, but, feeling The evil on him brought by me, will curse My head?
26Who then shall guide His people, who defend?
26Whose but his own?
26Why comes not Death, Said he, with one thrice- acceptable stroke To end me?
26Why delays His hand to execute what his decree Fixed on this day?
26Why do I overlive, Why am I mocked with death, and lengthened out To deathless pain?
26Why else this double object in our sight Of flight pursued in the air, and o''er the ground, One way the self- same hour?
26Why is life given To be thus wrested from us?
26Why should not Man, Retaining still divine similitude In part, from such deformities be free, And, for his Maker''s image sake, exempt?
26Why should their Lord Envy them that?
26Why shouldst not thou like sense within thee feel When I am present, and thy trial choose With me, best witness of thy virtue tried?
26Why then was this forbid?
26Why, but to awe; Why, but to keep ye low and ignorant, His worshippers?
26Will he draw out, For anger''s sake, finite to infinite, In punished Man, to satisfy his rigour, Satisfied never?
26Will they not deal Worse with his followers than with him they dealt?
26Will ye submit your necks, and choose to bend The supple knee?
26Wouldst thou admit for his contempt of thee That proud excuse?
26Wouldst thou approve thy constancy, approve First thy obedience; the other who can know, Not seeing thee attempted, who attest?
26Yet why?
26and can envy dwell In heavenly breasts?
26and the work Of secondary hands, by task transferred From Father to his Son?
26and what is one?
26and wherein lies The offence, that Man should thus attain to know?
26and, transformed, Why sat''st thou like an enemy in wait, Here watching at the head of these that sleep?
26but double how endured, To one, and to his image now proclaimed?
26but what we more affect, Honour, dominion, glory, and renown; Who have sustained one day in doubtful fight,( And if one day, why not eternal days?)
26by looks only?
26by the fruit?
26couldst thou support That burden, heavier than the earth to bear; Than all the world much heavier, though divided With that bad Woman?
26did I solicit thee From darkness to promote me, or here place In this delicious garden?
26do not believe Those rigid threats of death: ye shall not die: How should you?
26expressed Immutable, when thou wert lost, not I; Who might have lived, and joyed immortal bliss, Yet willingly chose rather death with thee?
26for what can I encrease, Or multiply, but curses on my head?
26for whom This glorious sight, when sleep hath shut all eyes?
26for, on earth, Who against faith and conscience can be heard Infallible?
26from hence how far?
26hath God then said that of the fruit Of all these garden- trees ye shall not eat, Yet Lords declared of all in earth or air?
26how last unfold The secrets of another world, perhaps Not lawful to reveal?
26how, without remorse, The ruin of so many glorious once And perfect while they stood?
26it gives you life To knowledge; by the threatener?
26language of man pronounced By tongue of brute, and human sense expressed?
26of evil, if what is evil Be real, why not known, since easier shunned?
26or can introduce Law and edict on us, who without law Err not?
26or do they mix Irradiance, virtual or immediate touch?
26or more than this, that we are dust, And thither must return, and be no more?
26or these titles now Must we renounce, and, changing style, be called Princes of Hell?
26or thou than they Less hardy to endure?
26or to us denied This intellectual food, for beasts reserved?
26or will God incense his ire For such a petty trespass?
26or wilt thou thyself Abolish thy creation, and unmake For him, what for thy glory thou hast made?
26rather, what know to fear Under this ignorance of good and evil, Of God or death, of law or penalty?
26rather, why Obtruded on us thus?
26rememberest thou Thy making, while the Maker gave thee being?
26these happy walks and shades, Fit haunt of Gods?
26to thy rebellious crew?
26what are these, Death''s ministers, not men?
26what doubt we to incense His utmost ire?
26what praise could they receive?
26what, but unbuild His living temples, built by faith to stand, Their own faith, not another''s?
26when meet now Such pairs, in love and mutual honour joined?
26wherefore with thee Came not all hell broke loose?
26wherefore, but in hope To dispossess him, and thyself to reign?
26which way shall I fly Infinite wrath, and infinite despair?
26whom but thee, Vicegerent Son?
26whom follow?
26whom shall we find Sufficient?
48193And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
48193Who told thee that thou wast naked?
48193( Why hast thou done this?)
4819312:4?
4819330:3,"What is his name, and what is his Son''s name, if thou knowest?"
48193Adam therefore then speaks openly in the person of God and at once convicts him of the murder, saying,"What hast thou done?"
48193Although we thus speak upon these things what have they to do after all with the sacred text before us?
48193And God blessed them._ Why did not God pronounce the Word of blessing upon the above inanimate bodies of his creation also?
48193And did not this speech at once prove that his mind was in a state of hostility against his brother?
48193And does he not moreover strike into the mind of his parents a surmise of the murder committed?
48193And had he not also heard the voice of Jehovah before, when Jehovah forbade him to eat the fruit of that tree?
48193And he said, I know not: Am I my brother''s keeper?_ Good God!
48193And how miserably was their nation destroyed at last?
48193And how?
48193And if there are some who do not believe, but fiercely oppose this doctrine, what is that to us?
48193And it is also inquired, why if such be a punishment God here says,"I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception?"
48193And what avails also the glorying of the Jews that God spoke unto them by Moses?
48193And what could be more indescribably horrible, than thus to flee from God and to hide themselves from his sight?
48193And what does the Creator here say?
48193And what is this Word and what does it do?
48193And what of pleasures and of ease?
48193And what says Plato here?
48193And what shall we further say of hatred toward God and blasphemies of all kinds?
48193And what was the effect of his pride?
48193And when also the Lord threatened after the fall of Adam, that it should come to pass that the earth should bring forth thorns and thistles?
48193And whence in most instances arose this perversion of things?
48193And whence is this?
48193And whether there are more gods than one?
48193And who after all told him that there were nine choirs of heavenly beings and potentates?
48193And who now openeth the door?
48193And why call they a wife an evil?
48193And why is this?
48193And why moreover did the Franciscans afterward add a tenth sphere, as a sort of palace, in which the holy mother Mary might dwell?
48193And yet, what was more necessary to us than this very institution of baptism?
48193And yet, what were they persecuting all the while?
48193And yet, what would have been their dominion over all created animals without this knowledge?
48193Another question may be, whether the whole original earth may be called paradise?
48193Are all these woeful things proofs, I pray you, that the qualities and faculties of man''s original nature still remain sound and whole?
48193Are not these pure follies, and mere creatures of the brain without fruit or profit?
48193Are then those who are married unclean?
48193Are these things, I pray you, proofs that human nature is whole and uncorrupted?
48193Are we to conclude, think you, that Adam, the first teacher, was a teacher less than Moses?
48193As this was the sum and substance of her sin, for plucking the apple was not the sum of her sin, how was it that death did not immediately follow?
48193Because my thoughts run thus: If God pardoned sins and errors in them why should I despair of pardon from him?
48193Before, when he said in his satanic insidiousness,"Hath God, indeed, thus commanded you?"
48193But I would here ask in the first place, why God did not use this same expression before in the creation of the previous creatures?
48193But as I have all along said, labor and protection are now hard and difficult terms?
48193But as to the very spot on which he was created, what necessity is there for our knowing that?
48193But does not Jacob become a servant when we see him a most distressed supplicant?
48193But has not this divine institution become a great scandal and excitement of offense by means of various sects?
48193But have not the impious Papists suffered the righteous punishments of such blasphemies?
48193But how does this principle agree with the commandment of God?
48193But how few are there who do this in truth and from the heart?
48193But how is that, some one may say?
48193But how long?
48193But into what extremes of turpitude did they fall?
48193But is not this, I pray you, the positive profaning of sacred things?
48193But is there not in marriage a blessing which infinitely surpasses all the punishments of original sin with which it is afflicted?
48193But my judgment is, that the weight of the matter does not rest on this particle of expression why?
48193But now how far does the wild boar exceed man in the sense of hearing, the eagle in sight, and the lion in strength?
48193But ought we not to believe also and know that we have this man for our father and that woman for our mother?
48193But since reason is filled with ignorance of God and aversion to the will of God, how can reason be called good in this sense?
48193But to say nothing about children, give me the most learned doctor in all the world; how otherwise will even he speak and teach concerning God?
48193But to what purpose is all this far- fetched Introduction?
48193But to what, I pray you, does all this glory of origin amount?
48193But what doctrine can be worse than this?
48193But what is the meaning of Moses when he says,"And let them be for signs,"etc.?
48193But what need, I pray you, friendly reader, is there of all such darkness of the most absurd allegories in all this clear light of the truth?
48193But what shall we say to that text of the New Testament,"Today shalt thou be with me in paradise,"Luke 23:43?
48193But who can find language capable of describing the glory of that state of innocency, which we have lost?
48193But who is it that gives such firmness to this most volatile and fluctuating substance?
48193But who shall render a reason for those things, which he sees the Divine Majesty to have permitted to be done?
48193But who would believe that for which there is no authority in the Scriptures?
48193But why do we dwell so long on these diseases only?
48193But why does he speak of the earth in terms so terrible, when all these horrid things were transacted without her will or knowledge?
48193But why multiply words?
48193But why should I enlarge?
48193But why should I proceed?
48193By what?
48193Can he not after that poor body is laid in the tomb raise it again to another and a new life?
48193Can the punishments of such then be very far off?
48193Can there be any doubt or obscurity then in forming a judgment concerning the true Church?
48193Do not almost all of us live in the continual and most shameful abuse of the gifts of God?
48193Do we not then, from all these considerations, feel how foul and horrible a thing sin is?
48193Does he not from fear of his brother haste away into exile?
48193Does he not on his return home supplicate his brother and fall on his knees before him?
48193Does not the text here tell us that the accuser was the blood of the murdered Abel?
48193Does not this allegory, used by the apostle, beautifully refer to the historical facts recorded by Moses as its foundation?
48193For could any one be found who would believe this fact concerning the creation of Eve, if it were not thus openly declared?
48193For curious men inquire, why God permitted so much to Satan as to tempt Eve?
48193For have not offenses of errors and heresies, infinite, arisen on account both of the Law and of the Gospel?
48193For he that spares not his Creator himself, how shall he be likely to spare the creature?
48193For his will is, that we should all live together, and be to each other as brethren?
48193For how can that reason be said to be right, which hates God?
48193For how can we understand that order which God approves as such?
48193For how could that be a mere nothing which was already of such material and substance that Moses calls it"the heavens and the earth"?
48193For how could we be humbled if our nature were not pressed down to the earth with burdens like these?
48193For how is it possible that such persons should be right judges of things which they do not understand?
48193For how otherwise can man talk with man concerning God?
48193For if God can make bread of a stone, why should he not be able to preserve the natural powers of man by a fruit?
48193For if they really did feel the evils of their ways would they not forsake them?
48193For should that be true how could it be written that God took from Adam one of his ribs and built a woman out of it?
48193For what are those things to me, which God did before the world was made, or how can I comprehend them?
48193For what beginning will reason find in nothing?
48193For what can reason do or what light can it give in the divine matter of religion?
48193For what does it concern us to know whether those in paradise walked about naked or clothed in raiment?
48193For what else was this than being cast out of the Church and excommunicated?
48193For what is better, or more precious, or more delightful, than life?
48193For what is softer than water?
48193For what is the whole creation but the word of God spoken forth or uttered?
48193For what monk ever existed who could affirm or know that he did any one thing rightly?
48193For what need is there of the Word to procure meat and drink, thus created for us beforehand?
48193For what need would there be of God''s speaking to us by his Word, if we were not designed to live another and eternal life after this life?
48193For what place is there here for the exercise of reverence?
48193For what sin could any man commit who had as yet no existence?"
48193For what sufferings of the body, equal to those we just described, does man endure?
48193For what was the whole of that Economy, but a school and library of these books?
48193For what will you determine concerning things that were before and beyond time?
48193For whither shall the heart flee when thus dreading the presence of God?
48193For who entertains a doubt, that if our bishops and certain furious princes could do it, they would slaughter us all in one moment?
48193For who was it that betrayed Cain and accused him of having slain his brother?
48193For who will dare to say that God is one of the angels, or that an angel is one of the_ us_, the ELOHIM?
48193For whoever saw a miser to be racked with pain while an opportunity of great gain stood before him?
48193For why dared they despise such goodness of the divine majesty?
48193For why should not God communicate his name unto us, seeing that he communicates to us his power, and his office?
48193For, what could be uttered more deep or sweet than that the Church is the spouse and Christ the bridegroom?
48193Has not the whole doctrine of baptism been distressingly corrupted?
48193Hath God said that ye shall_ not_ eat of every tree of the garden?
48193He did not call Satan to him and say,"Why hast thou done this?"
48193He did not say,"My Father, didst thou make me the keeper of my brother?"
48193He thinks he has made a most plausible excuse, when he says,"Am I my brother''s keeper?"
48193Hence, Arius reasons and inquires, Do you really think that Christ is God, when he himself says,"My Father is greater than I?"
48193His language then was,"Where art thou?"
48193How aptly, becomingly and gracefully, do even little girls carry infants in their bosom?
48193How can I read Luther when I have not his books and I can not afford to purchase them?
48193How can it be true, say they, that God made no new thing, when it is evident that the bow of heaven or the rainbow was created in the time of Noah?
48193How can that will be said to be good, which resists the will of God and refuses to obey God?
48193How could he, if alive, execute such awful judgment on his brother as God here executes?
48193How could the pupils and teacher differ from the books they studied?
48193How has it come about?
48193How many are there, whom the fire and the water destroy?
48193How many evils are wrought by destructive birds and noxious caterpillars?
48193How much peril threatens men from ferocious and venomous beasts and other noxious creatures?
48193How often also does it happen that human beings are devoured alive by wild beasts, and have the bellies of those beasts for their tombs?
48193How often is it repeated in Ecclesiastes?
48193How then could the offering of Cain ever have been more acceptable to God than that of Abel on account of his primogeniture?
48193How then shall we understand those things which exceed all our faculties and senses, and are found in the Word of God alone?
48193How then should they be able to explain successfully such passages of the Scriptures?
48193How was it that Eve did not yet feel her sin?
48193How was it that she did not feel so mighty a sin?
48193How was it that then he stood with uplifted countenance and with joy before him, rejoicing in his presence and delighting to hear him speak?
48193I would demand secondly what the creation of man had to do with angels or angels with it?
48193If our first father Adam could return on earth, think you not that he would laugh at, or rather wonder at, this madness of appetite in his sons?
48193If this be so, where is the article of the creed concerning creation?
48193In a word, on what subjects can we meditate and what things can we commit to paper more useful and important than these?
48193In all these cases ever think thus with thyself: Has God ever added to these things his Word of Command and his Word of Promise?
48193In so awful a sin therefore was it not a most kind and gentle manner of expression to inquire,"Where is Abel thy brother?"
48193In the same manner also the Sacramentarians ask, Do you really think that the bread is the body and the wine the blood of Christ?
48193Indeed was not the heaven adorned with that light, which was created on the first day?
48193Is it because the sin of Cain, as a murderer, was greater than the sin of Adam and Eve?
48193Is it not because he was born of us, and because we through our sin are what we are?
48193Is it not most mighty, both in concupiscence and in disgust?
48193Is it not then the height of wickedness thus to confound passages of Scripture in causes of such solemn moment?
48193Is it not worthy of admiration that God instituted and ordained marriage even in the state of innocency?
48193Is not Isaac also seen to be a most miserable beggar?
48193Is not our state then, I ask, marvelous and miserable?
48193Is not rather the contrary the truth?
48193Is not that rather the true Church where there is sound and holy doctrine, healing to afflicted consciences?
48193Is not this our leprosy then grievous and destructive?
48193Is not this then a miserable ignorance and a horrible blindness?
48193Is not this, I pray you, a poor and miserable pretension to wisdom?
48193Is this not an awful change in nature?
48193It argues, if the Word ever existed, why did not God create the heavens and the earth before by that Word?
48193Lyra disputes the point thus:"Are we to consider that the extracted rib was a superfluous one in the body of Adam?
48193Men may therefore naturally inquire, Where is the curse of the wicked?
48193Must not that have been then a most awful corruption, which transformed a friend of God into the most bitter and determined enemy of God?
48193Nay, in how many and various ways does this infirmity of the flesh discover itself, even in married persons?
48193Nay, since the earth is a good creature of God and these things were done against her will, and her struggle to prevent them?
48193Nay, what do we ourselves know concerning ourselves?
48193No longer than until the sound of that voice of God reached his ears,"Where is Abel, thy brother?"
48193Now if Satan was"a murderer from the beginning"tell me, whom or what persons did he murder?
48193Now is not this actually accusing her Creator and removing the fault from herself?
48193Now when the fact of this atrocious murder was made known to the parents, what do we think must have been the dreadful feelings which it excited?
48193Now, what_ ex_cuses more plausible than these could the wicked servant adopt?
48193Now, who does not see that all these representations are nothing more nor less than idle and futile human inventions?
48193On the contrary, though being the accused, he himself accuses God by replying,"Am I my brother''s keeper?"
48193On this passage also that great question is raised, why God, who is one, here speaks in the plural number?
48193On what grounds therefore can we esteem the writings of the fathers equal to the writings of the apostles?
48193Or what can be your thoughts of things God did before time was?
48193Out of one accepted of God and grateful to God, cast off and condemned of God?
48193Shall it flee unto the devil?
48193Shall the Greeks, or the Latins or the Teutons?
48193Shall we not say then that he has lost all things, who out of an immortal is become a mortal, and out of a righteous man, a sinner?
48193Some inquire therefore why it is that God here deals so harshly with miserable Adam?
48193Tell us therefore where thy brother is?
48193That of which we treat are the Scriptures; the Scriptures, I say, of the Holy Spirit, and for these things, as St. Paul says, who is sufficient?
48193The Papists were not ashamed to say, What are the Scriptures?
48193The Rabbins however expound the passage as being a negative interrogation, making Cain to say,"Is my iniquity greater than can be remitted?"
48193The leaving it to rest on the interrogative particle, why?
48193The question arises, what nations, what culture should characterize the libraries of the world?
48193The question to which I allude is,"What was original righteousness?"
48193The words of Job are familiarly known:"Let the day perish wherein I was born; why died I not from the womb?"
48193The words,"Where art thou?"
48193Then why do we vainly and absurdly boast of free- will?
48193There is a well- known poetic line--_ Num tu bona cuncta__ Ut redimas vitam recuses?_ To save thy life, what wouldst thou not resign?
48193There is a well- known poetic line--_ Num tu bona cuncta__ Ut redimas vitam recuses?_ To save thy life, what wouldst thou not resign?
48193There was a common proverb of old,"What is it to the Romans that the Greeks die?"
48193Therefore the words stand here,"Yea, hath God said?"
48193Thus were not our first parents miserably deceived in their hopes concerning their first- born, Cain, the murderer?
48193To how many and how great distresses, especially of diseases, is the body itself subject?
48193Upon this, Cain, growing indignant, makes answer to his parents, by no means with due reverence,"I know not: Am I my brother''s keeper?"
48193Was it not in paradise?
48193Was it not, I pray you, the very extreme of folly, first to attempt impossibilities in trying to flee from God, whom no one can escape or avoid?
48193Was not this a marvelous proof of intellect, thus at the first sight to know and comprehend the work of God?
48193Was not this then, I pray you, a horrible state of things?
48193We will omit also another question,"What was God doing before the beginning of the world;"was he in a state of entire inaction or not?
48193Were they not Adam and Eve, whom he murdered by sin?
48193What a host of dangers threaten us continually from the greater ferocious and venomous beasts?
48193What description of God will you find more appropriate than Plato''s?
48193What doctrine more unworthy a divine to utter?
48193What is thinner or more subtile than air?
48193What orator could describe with eloquence equal to its importance the real nature of that act of Cain, which Moses expresses in these few words?
48193What perils by land and by sea does the merchant experience with the hope of gain?
48193What shall I do, therefore?
48193What sighs and groans it caused?
48193What the lamentation?
48193What then can we know of things divine?
48193What then can we possibly conceive to have been the exceeding folly and state of mind in Adam?
48193What then did the serpent do?
48193What then is the cause of this wonderful and admirable generation or propagation?
48193What then is the conclusion of the whole matter?
48193What therefore in the end was proved to be the judgment of God?
48193What therefore, he seems to intend to intimate, would have been the result if God had come to them in the night and in the solemn darkness?
48193What, but godly doctrine, a doctrine perfectly agreeing with the writings of the apostles and prophets?
48193When Moses here says,"And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother?"
48193When did he murder them?
48193When therefore God says,"Where art thou?"
48193When this takes place what wonder is it if a man afterwards becomes proud, a despiser of God, an adulterer or anything else?
48193Where did he murder them?
48193Where is the blessing of the godly?
48193Whereas now, how numberless are the annoyances by which we are surrounded?
48193Wherein then is the syllogism of our crafty adversary unsound?
48193Which way can I turn, wretched man that I am?"
48193Whither therefore can I flee?
48193Who brought her to the man?
48193Who can doubt however that Satan by this new kind of temptation in Cain increased greatly the grief and trial of our first parents?
48193Who can express in words the excellency and majesty of this"dominion?"
48193Who for instance could ever have thought, that out of water a nature could be produced, which should by no means endure water?
48193Who is there that would not execrate such swine- like monsters as these?
48193Who would judge this to be order?
48193Who would judge this to be order?
48193Who would not consider himself made a laughing- stock, if he should see his host set before him water as his drink?
48193Whoever knew an adulterer to grieve at the opportunity given him of gratifying his wishes?
48193Why did he not then also hide himself?
48193Why did he not then fear also?
48193Why therefore does Moses here use a plural noun or name?
48193Why, then, are they not both called"sons"?
48193Why?
48193Will any one affirm that those who rule in the Church are not well deserving the provision which they receive?
48193Will we?
48193With what complete confidence did Eve listen to the serpent?
48193Would it not immediately follow that we should have no need either of God or his Word?
48193Yet by what means more effectual could he_ ac_cuse himself?
48193_ And Jehovah God called unto the man, and said unto him, Where art thou?_ Here we have a description of the judgment of God.
48193_ And Jehovah God said unto the woman, What is this thou hast done?
48193_ And Jehovah said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother?
48193_ And he said, What hast thou done?
48193_ And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked?
48193it is as if he had said,"Thinkest thou that I see thee not?"
48193or wherefore?
