A64243 | A ● ● he which is born of a Woman, that he sho ● ● ● be Righteous? |
A64243 | Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? |
A64243 | And as verse 34. Who is he that condemneth? |
A64243 | And as verse 35. Who shall separate us from the Love of Christ? |
A64243 | And doth not Pride prevail many times in thy Heart as it did in Hezekiah? |
A64243 | And doth not the love of thy Self and of the Creature prevail above all the love of God in thy Heart? |
A64243 | And doth not thine own Conscience tell thee and reprove thee for these things? |
A64243 | And doth not thy Conscience reprove and judge as Christ doth his Disciples? |
A64243 | And he which is born of a Woman, that he should be righteous? |
A64243 | And how canst thou think to stand before God in these rags? |
A64243 | And how shall they Preach except they be sent, i. e. se ● t of God? |
A64243 | And how shall they believe in him, of whom they have not heard? |
A64243 | And how shall they hear without a Preacher? |
A64243 | And is not thy unbelief more than thy Faith? |
A64243 | And many times dost thou not act, at least in some case ● as if thou hadst no Faith? |
A64243 | And to be even hardened from Gods fear; so that neither the Word of God, nor yet the Rod of God do make impression upon thee? |

A64243 | And wil ● thou dare to reject this Royal Grace and Favour; and rebel against this Royal command of the great God? |
A64243 | Are not the royal robes better than filthy rags? |

A64243 | If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness? |
A64243 | If thou Lord shouldst mark Iniquities, O Lord who shall stand? |
A64243 | Is not this Righteousness better than thy own? |
A64243 | Is the law therefore against the promises of God? |

A64243 | Therefore ask thy heart this question? |
A64243 | Thou wilt say also that thou dost Love God, but dost thou love him withall thy Heart, and all thy Soul, and all thy Strength? |

A55754 | Shall not he that made the eye see? |
A55754 | So do you hunger after the Word, which is the character of Christ his Will, his Love- letter? |
A55754 | So for a family prayer, thou wouldest not aske, can it not be omitted without sinne? |

A55754 | Wouldst thou overcome such and such a lust of uncleannesse, drunkennesse? |
A55754 | You are now therefore to examine your selfe, Whether you love or no? |
A55754 | You will say, you wil go to Christ,& he shall do it for you: But when the Gospel curses such as love not Christ, to whom will you goe to love God? |

A42622 | But I said unto her, Lady, What do''s it profit me to see these things, and not understand what they mean? |
A42622 | But I thought that he was come to try me, and said unto him, Who are you? |
A42622 | But Sir, I can not tell, whether they can be observed by any Man? |
A42622 | But Sir, I would know why she sate upon a Chair? |
A42622 | But Sir, what are those Stones which were taken out of the Deep and fitted into the Building? |
A42622 | But how Beloved, shall † we do this? |
A42622 | But how do''s he dwell in us? |
A42622 | But how shall it be built in the Name of the LORD? |
A42622 | But how should we thus know all this, and understand it? |
A42622 | But it may be the desire of her has risen up in thy Heart? |
A42622 | But learn therefore how the LORD speaketh, rendring the Temple vain: Who has measured the Heaven with a Span, and the Earth with his Hand? |
A42622 | But now, what proof do they offer of this? |
A42622 | But what are the white and round Stones, Lady, and which are not proper for the Building of the Tower? |
A42622 | But what then must we do that we attain unto it? |
A42622 | But what then signifies this, That the Wool was to be put into the midst of the Thorns? |
A42622 | But wherein must we confess him? |
A42622 | But who are his Enemies? |
A42622 | But who are those whom they rejected, and laid besides the Tower? |
A42622 | But who is fit to be found in it? |
A42622 | But who of you are Ignorant of the Judgment of God? |
A42622 | But who then, said I, are those, who went into the Tower Crowned? |
A42622 | But why did the LORD take into Counsel his Son, concerning dividing the Inheritance, and the Good Angels? |
A42622 | But why may not Barnabas have been then living, as well as we are sure St. John, and several others of the Companions of the Apostles were? |
A42622 | But why might they eat those that clave the Hoof? |
A42622 | But why tarriest thou? |
A42622 | But why was the Wool and Hyssop put together? |
A42622 | But why were there Three young Men, that were appointed to sprinkle the Sinners? |
A42622 | But why, said I, are they different, and every one of a several Figure? |
A42622 | But, continued I, could I or any other Man besides, though never so wise, have understood these things? |
A42622 | But, hear then, how he appointed it? |
A42622 | Canst thou for thy Estate, or for any of those things which thou hast provided, deny thy Law? |
A42622 | Consider, in what were ye saved, in what did ye look up, if not whilst ye were in this Flesh? |
A42622 | Did not Moses before know ‖ what should happen? |
A42622 | Do these things seem to thee to be Evil or not? |
A42622 | Do these things seem to thee to be good, or not? |
A42622 | Do we not know that the Saints shall judge the World? |
A42622 | Do''s he not seem to thee to be of great Authority? |
A42622 | Do''s it not seem to thee to be* a very wise thing to repent? |
A42622 | Does it not seem to thee* to be an ill thing for a Righteous Man to have an evil desire rise up in his heart? |
A42622 | Dost thou not see the Tower that it is always building? |
A42622 | Dost thou then carry Christ within Thee? |
A42622 | FIRST of all Sir, said I, Tell me, what this Rock and this Gate denote? |
A42622 | For He that in these things can not govern Himself, How shall he be able to prescribe them to another? |
A42622 | For had he not come in the Flesh, how could Men have been able to look upon him, that they might be saved? |
A42622 | For he saith,* Doth he that speaketh and heareth many things, and that is of a ready Tongue, suppose that he is Righteous? |
A42622 | For if all Nations punish their Servants which deny their Masters; What think you that the LORD will do unto you, who has the Power of all things? |
A42622 | For if the Lord thus humbled himself, what should we do who are come under the Yoak of his Grace? |
A42622 | For if the Prayer of One or Two be of such force, as we are told; How much more Powerful shall that of the Bishop and the whole Church be? |
A42622 | For indeed were not Men willing to be contentious, where is the Contradiction they so much boast of between the two Places I have before alledged? |
A42622 | For indeed † how great are those Advantages which we owe to him in Relation to our Holiness? |
A42622 | For so says the Prophet, Who shall understand the hard Sayings of the LORD? |
A42622 | For the rest, being come near, the Proconsul asked him, Whether he was POLYCARP? |
A42622 | For thus he saith, LORD, who hath believed our Report, and to whom is the Arm of the LORD revealed? |
A42622 | For thus saith the Scripture in a certain place, Whither shall I flee[ from thy Spirit] or whither shall I flee from thy presence? |
A42622 | For what does a Man profit me, if he shall Praise me, and Blaspheme my LORD; not confessing that he* was truly made Man? |
A42622 | For what shall we say, Brethren? |
A42622 | For what was our Father Abraham Blessed? |
A42622 | For what will it profit us, if we shall gain the whole World, and lose our own Souls? |
A42622 | For what? |
A42622 | For whither can any of us flee from his mighty Hand? |
A42622 | For who is able to express the* Obligation of the Love of God? |
A42622 | For who that has 2 ever been among you, has not experimented † the firmness of your Faith, and its Fruitfulness in all Good Works? |
A42622 | HE shew''d me certain Men sitting upon Benches, and one sitting in a Chair: And he said unto me; Seest thou those who sit upon the Benches? |
A42622 | HOW, said I, Sir, were they worse who knew the LORD? |
A42622 | Have I not always esteemed thee as a Lady? |
A42622 | Have I not always reverenced thee as a Sister? |
A42622 | Have we not One Calling in Christ? |
A42622 | Have we not all One God, and One Christ? |
A42622 | He answer''d, What do''st thou demand? |
A42622 | He answer''d, What is a Station? |
A42622 | He answer''d, Wilt thou now learn what thou didst desire? |
A42622 | He ask''d me, Wherefore? |
A42622 | He reply''d, Canst thou think of nothing then for these? |
A42622 | He said unto me, Do you not know me? |
A42622 | He said; What is that Fast? |
A42622 | He was taken from Prison and from Judgment; And who shall declare his Generation? |
A42622 | Hearken, saith he; Seest thou this Vine and this Elm? |
A42622 | How Blessed and Wonderful, Beloved, are the Gifts of God? |
A42622 | How Dangerous this is? |
A42622 | How confidently do they declare it to be the true Doctrine of Christ? |
A42622 | How he behaved himself in that Office? |
A42622 | How he behaved himself in that Station? |
A42622 | How the Persecution of the Christians came to be mitigated about the time that he suffered? |
A42622 | How their Divisions began? |
A42622 | How then can I live, seeing I have done in this manner? |
A42622 | How then was our Saviour manifested to the World? |
A42622 | How we must live that we may please God? |
A42622 | How we ought to behave our selves towards those that differ from us? |
A42622 | How will ye instruct the Elect of God, when ye your selves want Correction? |
A42622 | How, Sir, said I, Is it the Sister of these? |
A42622 | How, Sir, said I, do''s it bear more Fruit than the Vine? |
A42622 | I SAID unto him, Sir; Tell me what this Tree denotes? |
A42622 | I SAID unto him; Sir, Ask him since the time that he came into my House, whether I have done any thing disorderly, or have offended him in any thing? |
A42622 | I answer''d, Sir, How could I do otherwise? |
A42622 | I answer''d, Sir, why then did not all of them repent? |
A42622 | I answering said unto her; when therefore will they be Profitable to the LORD? |
A42622 | I ask''d her, Lady, why is the Tower built upon the Water? |
A42622 | I ask''d her, saying; I would know the Condition of the Stones, and the meaning of them, what it is? |
A42622 | I ask''d her, saying; Lady, into what part of the Field? |
A42622 | I began to say within my self; Is there a Drove of Cattle coming, that raises such a Dust? |
A42622 | I can not apprehend how it can torment, and yet save? |
A42622 | I know, says he, that they repent with all their Hearts; but dost thou therefore think that their Offences who repent are immediately blotted out? |
A42622 | I reply''d, Sir, How can that be; seeing the Rock is old, but the Gate new? |
A42622 | I reply''d, who is she then, Sir? |
A42622 | I reply''d; Sir, Why are they like unto dryed Trees? |
A42622 | I said unto her; Lady, I would know what it is that they have suffered? |
A42622 | I said unto him, Sir, How can those dry Rods ever grow green again? |
A42622 | I said unto him; Are they who depart from the Fear of God tormented for the same time that they enjoy''d their false Delight and Pleasures? |
A42622 | I said unto him; Sir, And what Pleasures are hurtful? |
A42622 | I said unto him; Sir, If they have behaved themselves so as to anger that good Angel, yet what have I done? |
A42622 | I said unto him; Sir, What shall I do here alone? |
A42622 | I said unto him; Sir, why did he send away some to the Tower, and left others here to you? |
A42622 | I said unto them; What then shall I do? |
A42622 | I said, Sir, What is their Garment? |
A42622 | I said, Sir, Why is there room left to those for Repentance, and not to the foregoing kind, seeing their Sins are well nigh the same? |
A42622 | I said, Where shall I tarry? |
A42622 | I said; How then shall a Man be able to discern them? |
A42622 | I said; What Evil things are they from which I must abstain? |
A42622 | IF thou shalt love the Good Disciples, what Thank is it? |
A42622 | IN like manner he determins concerning the Cross in ‖ another Prophet, saying; And when shall these things be fulfilled? |
A42622 | If ye have not kept that which was little, who will give you that which is great? |
A42622 | In what Place he was put to Death? |
A42622 | Is he a Husband, a Parent, or a Child? |
A42622 | Is it not I? |
A42622 | Is it not to deal thy Bread to the Hungry, and that thou bring the Poor that are cast out to thy House? |
A42622 | Is it such a Fast that I have chosen? |
A42622 | Is it that in the former of them he sets before them the Sufferings of St. Ignatius, and exhorts them to follow the Example of his Patience? |
A42622 | Is it to bow down his Head like a Bulrush, and to spread Sackcloath and Ashes under him? |
A42622 | Is my holy Mountain* Zion a desolate Wilderness? |
A42622 | Is not one Spirit of Grace poured out upon us All? |
A42622 | Is our Hope built upon a Stone? |
A42622 | LET us therefore now enquire, whether God has fulfilled the Covenant, which he sware to our Fathers, that he would give this People? |
A42622 | Lady, said I, Wilt thou convince me? |
A42622 | Let him stand against me: Or who is he that will implead me? |
A42622 | Let these Revelations suffice thee; Canst thou see more notable Revelations than those which thou hast already received? |
A42622 | Let us consider the vast Multitude of his Angels, how ready they stand to minister unto* it? |
A42622 | Let us enquire therefore, whether there be any Temple of God? |
A42622 | Now what is there in all this that does not very well agree together? |
A42622 | Of his Death: Why he was sent from Antioch to Rome, in order to his suffering there? |
A42622 | Of his Journey to Rome, and what he did there? |
A42622 | Of the Life of St. Ignatius; whence he was called Theophorus? |
A42622 | Of the Time of St. Polycarp''s Martyrdom: What Persecutions the Church then labour''d under? |
A42622 | Of the Way of Darkness; that is, what kind of Persons shall be for ever cast out of the Kingdom of God? |
A42622 | Or what Fruit that may be worthy of what he has given to us? |
A42622 | Or what Reward that may be answerable to those things which we have received? |
A42622 | Or what Strength is there in him that is made out of the Dust? |
A42622 | Or what World shall receive any of those who run away from him? |
A42622 | Or what is the place of my Rest? |
A42622 | Or who shall be our Advocate, unless we shall be found to have done what is Holy and Just? |
A42622 | Or who shall resist the Power of his Strength? |
A42622 | Peter answered and said, What if the Wolves shall tear in pieces the Sheep? |
A42622 | Seest thou not, said he, that he do''s support them, who with all their Heart carry his Name? |
A42622 | Shall Man be Pure before the LORD? |
A42622 | Shall he be blameless in his Works? |
A42622 | Shall we be Sloathful in Well- doing, and lay aside our Charity? |
A42622 | She answered; Dost thou not see over against thee a great Tower, which is built upon the Water with bright square Stones? |
A42622 | She answering said unto me; Art thou better than all others, that this should be revealed unto thee? |
A42622 | She answering said unto me; How long wilt thou continue Foolish and without Understanding; asking every thing and discerning nothing? |
A42622 | She therefore looing back upon me, and smiling a little, said unto me: Seest thou seven Women about the Tower? |
A42622 | Shouldst thou not rather purifie thy Mind, and serve God? |
A42622 | Sir, said I, I would know, what kind of Pains they are which every one undergoes? |
A42622 | Sir, said I, What are the Works of an evil Desire, which shall bring Men unto Death? |
A42622 | Sir, said I, what makes you speak thus? |
A42622 | Sir, said I; How can this be done? |
A42622 | Sir, said I; What so great Offence have I committed, that I should be deliver''d to this ‖ Messenger? |
A42622 | So that he can be of no use unto his LORD? |
A42622 | TAKE the Epistle of the Blessed Paul the Apostle into your Hands; What was it that he wrote to you in the very Beginning of his* Instructions to you? |
A42622 | THEN he said, What is this Tower? |
A42622 | THEN the Angel said unto me; See''st thou this Shepherd? |
A42622 | That there was such a Bird; and that he did revive out of the Cinders of the Body before burnt? |
A42622 | The Danger of Riches: What Use we ought to make of them? |
A42622 | The Grains of Hail that drop down are exceeding small; and yet when they fall upon the Head of a Man, how do they cause Pain to it? |
A42622 | The same Night a young Man appear''d to me and said; Why dost thou thus often desire Revelations in thy Prayers? |
A42622 | Then I ask''d her concerning the Times, whether the End were now at Hand? |
A42622 | Then I said; Shew me now Sir, Why this Tower is not built upon the Ground, but upon a Rock, and upon the Gate? |
A42622 | Then the Shepherd said unto me, Hast thou ask''d all things of me? |
A42622 | They received thee well then, said he? |
A42622 | To what Times hast thou reserved me, that I should endure this? |
A42622 | To what end? |
A42622 | V. AM I not able to write to you of Heavenly things? |
A42622 | V. TRAJAN reply''d:] And who is Theophorus? |
A42622 | WHAT shall we do therefore, Brethren? |
A42622 | WHEN therefore I had done asking her concerning all these things, she said unto me; Wilt thou see somewhat else? |
A42622 | WHO is there among you that is Generous? |
A42622 | WITH what Assurance do they deliver the Doctrine which they had received? |
A42622 | Was Daniel cast into the ‖ Den of Lyons, by Men fearing God? |
A42622 | Was it not because that through Faith he wrought Righteousness and Truth? |
A42622 | What Authority have they to support such a Supposition? |
A42622 | What Good we must do? |
A42622 | What Man is sufficient to declare, as is fitting, the Excellency of its Beauty? |
A42622 | What Praise shall we ascribe to him? |
A42622 | What Recompense then shall we render unto him? |
A42622 | What Respect the ancient Christians paid to the Remains of their Martyrs? |
A42622 | What Rules our Religion has le ● t us to this purpose? |
A42622 | What a true Fast is? |
A42622 | What doubtest thou concerning the Commands which I have delivered unto thee? |
A42622 | What he did afterwards? |
A42622 | What he was before his Conversion; and by whom Converted? |
A42622 | What his Age was when he suffered? |
A42622 | What is the House that ye will build me? |
A42622 | What kind of Persons then were they that did these things? |
A42622 | What man is there that desireth Life, and loveth to see Good days? |
A42622 | What the Day of his Suffering? |
A42622 | What then saith the Scripture to Abraham, when he believed, and it was imputed unto him for Righteousness? |
A42622 | What then? |
A42622 | What therefore do''s he mean when he says, Into a Good Land flowing with Milk and Honey? |
A42622 | What therefore is it that he says by the Prophet? |
A42622 | What therefore shalt thou do who art subject to a Law in thine own City? |
A42622 | What think ye then that he shall suffer, who do''s any thing that is not fitting in the Combat of Immortality? |
A42622 | What think you, Beloved? |
A42622 | What true Charity is? |
A42622 | What, said he, dost thou desire? |
A42622 | When all were departed, I said unto that Shepherd; Sir, Why is not the Building of the Tower finish''d? |
A42622 | When being asked by him, Who was Theophorus? |
A42622 | When thou seest the Naked that thou cover him, and that thou hide not not thy self from thine own Flesh? |
A42622 | When ye come to appear before me; Who hath required this at your hand to tread my Courts? |
A42622 | Where is the Boasting of those who are called Wise? |
A42622 | Where is the Disputer? |
A42622 | Where is the Wise Man? |
A42622 | Where was the great harm either in giving Credit to such a Wonder; or believing it, to make such a use, as he here do''s, of it? |
A42622 | Wherefore I began to think, and say within my self; why should I doubt, seeing I am thus setled by the LORD, and have seen such glorious things? |
A42622 | Wherefore are there Strifes and Anger, and Divisions and Schisms and Wars among Us? |
A42622 | Wherein the Image of God consists? |
A42622 | Whether this Epistle has been interpolated, as those of Ignatius were? |
A42622 | Whither then shall any one go; or whither shall he run from him that comprehends all things? |
A42622 | Who has commanded us not to Lye, how much more shall he not Himself Lye? |
A42622 | Who have said, with our tongue will we prevail, Our lips are our own, who is LORD over us? |
A42622 | Who shall say unto Him, what dost Thou? |
A42622 | Who that has any Charity? |
A42622 | Who that is Compassionate? |
A42622 | Who will contend with me? |
A42622 | Why did these Stones come out of the Deep, and were placed into the Building of this Tower, seeing that they long ago carried their just Spirits? |
A42622 | Why do I desire to fight with Beasts? |
A42622 | Why do you not think that if any one among you suffer, he performs a great Work? |
A42622 | Why the Pieces that follow, are put in a Second Part, separate from the foregoing? |
A42622 | Why then do we rent and tear in pieces the Members of Christ; And raise Seditions against our own Body? |
A42622 | Why then dost thou imagine these wicked things against me? |
A42622 | Why then, said he, Hast thou not ask''d concerning the Form of these Stones that were put in the Building, that I may explain that also unto thee? |
A42622 | Why ‖ do we suffer our selves foolishly to Perish; † not considering the Gift which the LORD has truly sent to Us? |
A42622 | Why, said I, is the Son of God in this Parable, put in the place of a Servant? |
A42622 | Will not therefore the LORD do the same concerning his Spirit, by reason of thy Sin? |
A42622 | Will they say that they were troubled by the Sheep? |
A42622 | Wilt thou call this a Fast and an acceptable Day to the LORD? |
A42622 | Wilt thou kill me as thou didst the Egyptian yesterday? |
A42622 | With what Words shall I beseech him to be merciful unto me? |
A42622 | Wouldst thou not presently be angry; and reproach him, saying; I gave my Garment to thee whole, why hast thou rent it, and made it useless to me? |
A42622 | Wouldst thou not say all this to a Fuller, for the Rent which he made in thy Garment? |
A42622 | Yea, the Heaven is not clean in his Sight, how much less they that dwell in Houses of Clay; of which also we our selves were made? |
A42622 | and she said unto me, Why art thou sad, Hermas, who wert wo nt to be patient, and modest, and always cheerful? |
A42622 | even the Wicked? |
A42622 | or how shall I ever be able to intreat the LORD for my many and great Sins? |
A42622 | ‖ And yet how hard is it to find a Man that do''s this? |
A42622 | ‖ Are we foolishly destroy''d? |
A42622 | † But what signifies the Milk and Hony? |
A42622 | † But what therefore was the Mystery that was made known unto him? |
A41628 | & c. How broken and imperfect is his language? |
A41628 | & c. Was not this the case of many carnal Jews, who followed Christ only for the Loaves, and Miracles, he wrought for them? |

A41628 | Again how little can the most of Believers acquiesce and rest satisfied in Christ, as the alone spring, and mater of their life? |

A41628 | Again, how easy is it for men to be mistasten in their Consent to the good things of their peace? |
A41628 | Again, how soon doth Infidelitie betray us into the hands of every Tentation? |
A41628 | Again, if after al this men wil not examine and use the means to discover their state, are not such willingly deceived? |
A41628 | Again, may we not judge the same of legal faith; which sets up the Law in the room of Christ; or at least yokes the Law and Christ together? |
A41628 | Again, were his tears so efficacious, so influential? |
A41628 | Again, whence springeth the excesse of unlawful passions, and the prevalence of domineering lusts, but from unbelief as to Christs second coming? |
A41628 | Al would gladly share in the Benefits of Christ; but how few desire to have share in his Person? |
A41628 | Albeit they had engaged themselves to Christ, by a solemne League and Covenant; yet what a crooked, perverse, lying heart was there in them? |
A41628 | Although God may sometimes continue the means of Grace, yet doth he not withdraw his Influences of Grace from those means? |
A41628 | Am I not rather under the Dominion and Prevalence of Infidelitie? |
A41628 | And are not such presumtuous conceits, or rather deceits, the main spring of most mens commun faith? |
A41628 | And are not such supplies, by so much the more pure and sweet, by how much the more immediate they are? |
A41628 | And are not the termes on which al these good things are offered, most easie to any that is but really willing to be happy? |
A41628 | And are there not a vast number of refined Hypocrites, who are guiltie of this defective Reception of Christ? |
A41628 | And are they not hereby oft inveigled to wander from Christ? |
A41628 | And are we not, upon this account, his federate people, his darlings and chosen ones? |
A41628 | And art thou wholly for Christ, as he is wholly for thee? |
A41628 | And as Unbelief at first opened the dore to al sin, so doth it not stil hearten, and improve al sin? |
A41628 | And as the member is naturally subject to the head, so doth not Faith subject the whole soul to Christ? |
A41628 | And can Unbelievers expect, that Christ should passe by such affronts, and indignities, without severe punishments? |
A41628 | And can men be convinced of it, unlesse they studie, and observe the nature and workings of it? |
A41628 | And can there be a greater law, than the Mediators evangelic law; which is composed of such sweet alluring precepts, and promisses? |
A41628 | And do not a world of great Professors thus receive Christ? |
A41628 | And do not al their lapsed seed naturally follow their steps herein? |
A41628 | And do not men account him the most able Physician, who gives the best conjecture at the Causes of a Disease? |
A41628 | And do not such soon grow weary of Christ? |
A41628 | And doth he not hereby create, in many sincere Believers, much unbelief, concerning the things that belong to their peace? |
A41628 | And doth not Faith hence worke a miraculous change in the whole disposition of the soul, and conversation? |
A41628 | And doth not this argue a great conviction in their consciences; as also some faint, and languid inclination in their wils towards him? |
A41628 | And has Jerusalem been alone in this sin? |
A41628 | And has not England also slept securely under al Divine premonitions of coming judgements? |
A41628 | And has not this also been Englands Sin? |
A41628 | And has not this also been Englands great sin? |
A41628 | And has the Unbeliever any reason to complain against God for condemning of him, seing he is unwilling to be saved? |
A41628 | And have not English Professors been dreadfully guiltie of this sin also? |
A41628 | And have not English Professors been notoriously guiltie of the same sins? |
A41628 | And have not we been, in an high mesure, guiltie of the same? |
A41628 | And hence doth not Faith make God thine, as surely as thou art thine own? |
A41628 | And how many choise Mercies are Believers deprived of by reason of their Unbelief? |
A41628 | And how much is his unbelief promoted hereby? |
A41628 | And if men are willingly deceived in this particular, do not they willingly perish? |
A41628 | And if they wil not, who is to be blamed, but their own perverse stubborne wils? |
A41628 | And is England free from this Sin? |
A41628 | And is he not engaged by Covenant to supplie you with al necessaries? |
A41628 | And is he not extreme free, and cordial in his Invitations? |
A41628 | And is it not thus with a great number of awakened sinners? |
A41628 | And is it thy joy to see althings to suit with his end, though they may crosse thine own private ends? |
A41628 | And is not such a languid, incomplete, feeble Wil, and Consent, a real Nil, and dissent? |
A41628 | And is not the Believers treasure in Christ? |
A41628 | And is not the difference between saving light and commun, as great, as that between the light of the Sun and of a candle? |
A41628 | And is not this mater of sad lamentation, to see Professors prefer back and bellie, externe Pompe and Grandeur, before Christ and his Gospel? |
A41628 | And is not this the grand design of Infidelitie? |
A41628 | And is there any agreament betwixt a carnal mind, and things spiritual? |
A41628 | And is this the sin of unbelieving Jews only? |
A41628 | And is thy wil bended to a correspondence with his Divine Wil? |
A41628 | And may not we in like manner, from Christs tears over Jerusalem, crie out also, Behold, how he loved it? |
A41628 | And may not, in like manner, smal tentations bring ruine to the most flourishing Churches, when asleep, on the bed of carnal securitie? |
A41628 | And may we exemt England from the guilt of this sin? |
A41628 | And may we expect to be exemted from the like strokes of Divine justice, unlesse we lament, and mourn over our Unbelief, which deserves the same? |
A41628 | And shal they be ashamed, or afraid to beg at the dore of such a liberal Savior? |
A41628 | And then how inefficacious are they? |
A41628 | And thence are they not as firme, and constant towards us, as the Temple is firme? |
A41628 | And thence doth not God depart from the Unbeliever? |
A41628 | And thence, how much is the soul satiated in communion with Christ, so far as Faith prevails? |
A41628 | And they reasoned with themselves, saying, if we shal say from heaven, he wil say, Why then believe ye him not? |
A41628 | And was it not thus also in our blessed Lords days? |
A41628 | And what follows, but the miserable destruction of these wicked men, v. 41? |
A41628 | And what follows? |
A41628 | And what follows? |
A41628 | And what follows? |
A41628 | And what is this, but not to know the things that belong to their peace? |
A41628 | And when that unhappy breach is made, doth not his weeping over her sufficiently argue, how fain he would be reconciled to her? |
A41628 | And when they have found any imperfect good in themselves, how much do they recumb and rest on it, as the main bottome of their confidence? |
A41628 | And when thou comest short of honoring Christ by Obedience, doest thou honor Him by humble acknowlegement, and Dependence? |
A41628 | And whence is it, that many Professors are so averse from assenting to the whole Word of God? |
A41628 | And which of you, with taking thought, can adde to his stature one cubit? |
A41628 | And why? |
A41628 | And wil he not much more clothe you, O ye short- spirited ones? |
A41628 | And yet al this while, what strangers have they been to a saving assent to the things that belong to their peace? |
A41628 | And yet doth not faith trust wholly in Christ, as if there were no means to be used? |
A41628 | And yet how vigorous and active is it in, and for the production of al sin? |
A41628 | Are any Evangelic Unbelievers damned, but such as wilfully elect Death before Life? |
A41628 | Are its Influences so venimous, and contagious? |
A41628 | Are not Believers themselves oft very confused, and instable in their assent to evangelic Mysteries? |
A41628 | Are not Christs armes open to receive them, when they come? |
A41628 | Are not Divine Mysteries above the reach of a human Understanding, unlesse the Spirit of God come and clothe it with a divine Light? |
A41628 | Are not al Gods Providences spirited by mysterious wisdome and paternal love? |
A41628 | Are not al the Promisses appendant to this Temple? |
A41628 | Are not al the faculties of the soul spoiled of their vigor, beautie, harmonie, order, and exercices by Unbelief? |
A41628 | Are not al the great fundamentals and vitals of faith struck at by some, who would count it an high affront to be judged Unbelievers? |
A41628 | Are not al their closures with Christ wrung, and forced from them, merely by the violence of a tormented terrified conscience? |
A41628 | Are not al these so many false Christs, or imaginary Idols, joined with Christ; which render the reception of him defective? |
A41628 | Are not al these the fruits of Unbelief? |
A41628 | Are not al thine objections against believing presently, but the forgeries, and figments of thine unwilling heart? |
A41628 | Are not such put offs a kind of denial? |
A41628 | Are not the gracious offers of the Covenant most rich, abundant, and free? |
A41628 | Are not the most of Professors extreme partial in their credence, or belief, of the divine Scriptures? |
A41628 | Are not the most of Professors too soon satisfied in their own faith? |
A41628 | Are not the most severe Plagues of God entailed on Infidelitie? |
A41628 | Are not the offers of the Covenant general, free, abundant, and most affectionate? |
A41628 | Are not the sensual enjoyments of the flesh, the pleasures of Egypt, preferred before the ravishing delights of the celestial Canaan? |
A41628 | Are not those Needs blessed that secure us from sin, and make way for greater mercies? |
A41628 | Are not thy debts to Justice multiplied by not believing? |
A41628 | Are not too many, from the force of legal convictions, compelled to close with Christ, who yet secretly hate him at heart? |
A41628 | Are the Remorses, and Stings of the worme of Conscience more agreable, and pleasing, than peace of Conscience, and the smiles of Divine Love? |
A41628 | Are their Apprehensions, and Impressions suitable to the worth of those objects they believe? |
A41628 | Are there not a vast number of seeming Christians, who receive Christ only on carnal Motives, and Grounds? |
A41628 | Are there not many, who seem to recumb and lean on Christ for life, but yet really recumb, and lean upon self? |
A41628 | Are there not multitudes, who would fain be estimed good Christians, and yet thus oppose, and resist Christ to his very face? |
A41628 | Are these the effects of Infidelitie? |
A41628 | Are they not as the bloud of a wounded heart, to use Cyprian''s phrase? |
A41628 | Art thou a new Convert, and Beginner in Christianitie? |
A41628 | Art thou an Unbeliever? |
A41628 | Art thou brought over to a voluntarie, free, cordial, complete, and fixed closure with him, as offered in the Gospel? |
A41628 | Art thou obsequious and obedient to the Spirits dictates, as to thy supreme Conductor and Director? |
A41628 | Art thou restlesse''til thou attainest to the enjoyment of him? |
A41628 | Art thou strong, and wel grown in Grace? |
A41628 | As for the Promisses, are they not appendant to this Temple? |
A41628 | As if he had said: Doth God clothe the grasse of the field, which is so fading, with so much beautie and glorie? |
A41628 | As on the contrarie, how many are condemned by the World, and peradventure by their own Consciences as Hypocrites; who yet are justified by Christ? |
A41628 | As the Unbeliever doth by his self- dependence deifie himself, so doth he not also by the same undeifie the true God? |
A41628 | As to the Act, what Christs weeping here implies? |
A41628 | As to the encouragements and motives to believe, doth he not shew himself as kind as kind may be? |
A41628 | As to the motives of this Lamentation, What it was that moved Christ to lament over the Ruines of this professing Citie, or Church of Jerusalem? |
A41628 | At least how fain would the heart admit the Law, as a Covenant of works, to share in that Conjugal Faith and Affection, which is due only to Christ? |
A41628 | Ay, but how little have they of a chearful ready wil? |
A41628 | Ay, but was it thus with Jerusalem? |
A41628 | Ay: but can not, doth not their wise Father feed them without means, when he sees it necessary? |
A41628 | Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression,& c. Here lies their main sin: and what follows? |
A41628 | Behold your house is left to you desolate: Was not this one great part of Jeremies Lamentation over old Jerusalem? |
A41628 | But can Infidelitie do such marvels? |
A41628 | But can Infidelitie thus improve Mercies? |
A41628 | But can the Unbelievers commun faith worke such rare effects? |
A41628 | But doth al this satisfie Christ? |
A41628 | But doth not Unbelief spurne at those bowels, by shutting the heart against them? |
A41628 | But how backward are they to close with the Person of Christ, as the object of their fruition? |
A41628 | But how much lesse are they able to trust him, in the fulnesse of althings? |
A41628 | But how solid and deep are the Believers conceptions of spiritual Mysteries? |
A41628 | But is it not quite otherwise with the true believer? |
A41628 | But is it thus with Unbelief? |
A41628 | But is it thus with Unbelievers, such as receive Christ only with a terrified, legal Wil? |
A41628 | But is it thus with Unbelievers? |
A41628 | But is it thus with al that pretend to receive Christ? |
A41628 | But is it thus with the Unbeliever? |
A41628 | But is it thus with the commun faith of the Unbeliever? |
A41628 | But is this in the power of Infidelitie? |
A41628 | But now it is quite contrary with Unbelief: How natural is it to corrupt Nature to trust in, and depend upon its own forces? |
A41628 | But surely such an Implicite blind faith wil not suffice a Christian: yea is it not the worst kind of Unbelief? |
A41628 | But they have not al obeyed the Gospel: For Esaias saith, Lord who hath believed our report? |
A41628 | But was it thus with Christ? |
A41628 | But was it thus with our great Lord? |
A41628 | But what is meant by this seal of the Spirit? |
A41628 | But when our Assent is grounded only on legal Threats, and forced convictions; how soon doth it wear off, and die away? |
A41628 | But who is it that treads Judah, as in a Wine- presse? |
A41628 | Can he that understands not the Propositions he assents to, rationally believe the same? |
A41628 | Can it move regularly towards any object, without the conduct of the mind? |
A41628 | Can not he put up any injuries better than this? |
A41628 | Can then any punishment be too severe for it? |
A41628 | Can there be a more forcible motive to gain the consent of a sick patient, than his Physicians tears? |
A41628 | Can there be a more hainous sin than this, to meet Christs bowels and pitie with kicks, and contemt? |
A41628 | Can there be a worse Idol than self idolised? |
A41628 | Can there be a worse enemie, than that which deprives us of our chiefest good? |
A41628 | Can they trust God in al conditions, difficulties, emergences, seasons, and things? |
A41628 | Can things contrarie be united, but by some efficacious bond of Union? |
A41628 | Can we abuse Christ more, than by opposing the good things offered by him? |
A41628 | Can we be too severe against such a deadly enemie? |
A41628 | Can we imagine, that the heart of our tender Lord, which was made up of such tendernesses, could forbear to bleed over dying Jerusalem? |
A41628 | Canst thou be content to be nothing, that Christ may be althings to thee? |
A41628 | Canst thou do much for, and yet trust in nothing but Christ? |
A41628 | Canst thou take a whole Christ, with thy whole heart, and that for ever? |
A41628 | Canst thou wait on, and adhere to Christ in his Ordinances, albeit thou feelest no sensible impartments of comfort, peace, and quickening? |
A41628 | Could Christ and Sinners ever come together, unlesse Faith did unite them? |
A41628 | Could any sober mind imagine, that a thing so deformed, and pernicious, should seem so amiable and desirable in the eyes of men? |
A41628 | Did Believers eye much their home, how vigilant, active, and vigorous would they be in their way thither? |
A41628 | Did Christ ever cease to make tenders of Grace to her,''til she ceased to accept or desire the tenders of his Grace? |
A41628 | Did Christ ever refuse to give, til sinners refused to aske what they wanted? |
A41628 | Did Jerusalem fondly flatter herself, and ungroundedly presume of peace, when Christ threatned nothing but Wars and Desolations? |
A41628 | Did Jerusalem persecute Gods Prophets and Apostles? |
A41628 | Did Jerusalem sleep securely under al Christs Divine Comminations, Menaces, or Threats of approching Judgements? |
A41628 | Did ever Believer need any thing, but what he could better need than have? |
A41628 | Did every tear flow from a broken bleeding heart? |
A41628 | Did he ever refuse, or look strangely on any that came unto him? |
A41628 | Did he not frequently expresse great love and pitie, when he had the greatest cause to expresse severe wrath? |
A41628 | Did men studie, and believe what an hainous sin Infidelitie is, how would they abominate and loath it? |
A41628 | Did not Jael, a poor silly woman, pierce thorow great Sisera''s head, when he was asleep? |
A41628 | Did not Judas, the Jews, and Pilate pierce Christ more sorely by their Unbelief, than by their acts of betraying, and condemning him? |
A41628 | Did not every Tear instruct her, what a tender- hearted Savior she had to deal with? |
A41628 | Did not many of these unbelieving Jews, whom our Lord here weeps over, approve of, and consent to him, as their crowned King and Messias? |
A41628 | Did not this HE, bring her out of Egypt, that house of Bondage? |
A41628 | Did not this consideration fil Jeremies heart with sad lamentations over old Jerusalem? |
A41628 | Did our gracious Lord, who was himself void of the least spot, weep so bitterly over Jerusalems sins? |
A41628 | Difficulties and distresses are the element of Faith; but how unable is Infidelitie to live, or breath in such a sharpe Air? |
A41628 | Do not al the Scriptures testifie of me? |
A41628 | Do not al the lines of Gods grace, and our duty meet in Christ as Mediator? |
A41628 | Do not his tears accuse, and condemne our impenitent, secure, and hard hearts? |
A41628 | Do not many great Professors seem to assent to the Mysteries of the Gospel, but yet really dissent from, or, at least not live up to them? |
A41628 | Do not many knowing Professors seem to receive the Word of God, as the Word of God, who yet indeed receive it only as the word of men? |
A41628 | Do not many pretend to a kindnesse for Christ, who yet secretly hate him in their hearts? |
A41628 | Do not many seem very forward in electing of Christ, who yet retain secret reserves for some beloved Idol? |
A41628 | Do not men crie Peace, Peace, when God speaks nothing but Wrath? |
A41628 | Do not multitudes of awakened sinners lay their consciences asleep, or amuse themselves with the apparences of faith? |
A41628 | Do not sensible goods weigh down the invisible weight of Glorie in the Unbelievers heart? |
A41628 | Do not some compound their carnal Interest with Christ? |
A41628 | Do not some receive him, as the most compendious way to Riches? |

A41628 | Do not such forced consents passe for real dissents, among more civil persons? |
A41628 | Do not the best and most improved Christians usually complain most of this sin? |
A41628 | Do not the most of Professors yield only a human, natural, or traditional Assent to Divine, supernatural Truths and Mysteries? |
A41628 | Do not the most of men look on these things as too good news to be true? |
A41628 | Do not their unbelieving hearts change Christ into another Christ, by covering his face with a masque of hatred and displeasure? |
A41628 | Do not they deservedly perish, who wilfully perish? |
A41628 | Do not they pick and choose, what may correspend most with their Lusts, or carnal Interests? |
A41628 | Do not thy sins greaten much by delays to believe? |
A41628 | Do not too many also pretend subjection to Christ, and his soverain pleasure; but really intend subjection to no other Lord than their own Lusts? |
A41628 | Do not too many assent to the pleasing, and sweet offers of the Gospel, but yet dissent from the displeasing, and self- crucifying duties thereof? |
A41628 | Do not too many awakened sinners choose a divided Christ, or a whole Christ with a divided heart? |
A41628 | Do not we grieve more for the evils we our selves suffer, than for the sin, we or others commit? |
A41628 | Do they not come to Christ only as a wounded person to his Chirurgeon, for a Plaister to heal conscience? |
A41628 | Do they not immediately before v. 37, 38. solemnely recognise him as their crowned King? |
A41628 | Do they not secretly wish that they might be saved by their own doings, rather than by believing in Christ? |
A41628 | Do they not seek in themselves what they should seek in Christ? |
A41628 | Do they not seem to depend on God, but mean while shift for themselves? |
A41628 | Do they not sometimes conceit, that there is some grace, or other good, to be found out of Christ? |
A41628 | Doest thou adhere to Him with a plenitude of Wil, as the Iron to the Loadstone? |
A41628 | Doest thou give Christ that place in the Intention and Bent of thy Wil, which belongs to him? |
A41628 | Doth Christ offer an Act of Indemnitie unto sinners; and wil not they receive it at his hands? |
A41628 | Doth Christ offer such great things to sinners, and shal they prefer such poor toys before them? |
A41628 | Doth Christ weep over the Sins and Ruines of impenitent Jerusalem? |
A41628 | Doth any thing more provoke Christ, than to have his bowels, and compassions towards Sinners spurned at? |
A41628 | Doth he ever break with us before we break with him? |
A41628 | Doth he expect that, when we turne Christians, we bid Adieu to al outward comforts? |
A41628 | Doth he fully acquiesce, in these visible Apparances of their professed obedience to him? |
A41628 | Doth he not at the same time, when he layes hold on Christ, secretly also catch at the world, or some beloved lust? |
A41628 | Doth he not ever adde something to Christ, or take something from Christ? |
A41628 | Doth he not meet them half way; yea, prevent them in the offers of Grace? |

A41628 | Doth he not wel understand al your needs? |
A41628 | Doth he not wholly live on self as his spring, and to self as his last end? |
A41628 | Doth he so freely open his gracious heart to sinners, and wil they shut their hearts against him? |
A41628 | Doth it kil my lust, and give life unto my soul? |
A41628 | Doth it not also cut us off from many promissed Mercies? |
A41628 | Doth it not also dismount the Believer, and make him walke on foot, in al manner of self- abasement? |
A41628 | Doth it not also take off the Beautie, Lustre, and Sweetnesse of Mercies received, or expected? |
A41628 | Doth it not argue a desperate, hard, unbelieving heart, not to regard this day? |
A41628 | Doth it not argue an heart desperately hard, when Christs tears wil not dissolve or soften it? |
A41628 | Doth it not as wel feed Grace, as purge out sin? |
A41628 | Doth it not breed, preserve, foment, incourage, actuate, and spirit al sin? |

A41628 | Doth it not rather, by its murmurs, and misimprovments, destroy former Mercies, and so hinder future? |
A41628 | Doth it not rebel against the Soveraintie of God, by placing the sinners wil above it? |
A41628 | Doth it not then greatly concerne al, both Believers and Unbelievers, to studie wel the Nature, Causes, and maligne Influences of Unbelief? |
A41628 | Doth it not, like some cunning Politicians, animate and encourage every sin, yet concele itself in al its actings? |

A41628 | Doth not every Unbeliever, by his secret, or open murmurs against God raise many black lies, and scandals on God? |
A41628 | Doth not his faith spring mainly from self- jelousie? |
A41628 | Doth not his willingnesse to give, infinitely excede the sinners willingnesse to receive? |

A41628 | Is not this HE, he that first gave Being, and Welbeing to Jerusalem, as to althings else? |
A41628 | Is not this a piece of Unbelief, which Devils and damned Spirits are not guiltie of? |
A41628 | Is not this also the cause of mens hypocrisie both in heart and life? |
A41628 | Is not this happy match, the alone miraculous effect of Faith, wrought by the Spirit of God? |
A41628 | Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures? |
A41628 | Is not this mere fancie rather than faith? |
A41628 | Is not this sin of Infidelitie to be found at the end of every sin? |
A41628 | Is not this the great end and designe of al Divine Lamentations, to obviate and prevent the like Sins and Ruines? |
A41628 | Is not this the main businesse of Faith to enjoy Christ, to live and die in him? |
A41628 | Is not this the main that Christ expects from evangelic Unbelievers, that they willingly accept Grace offered to them? |
A41628 | Is the Believer called to any difficult piece of service, either active or passive, for Christ? |
A41628 | Is the Idea, or visage of Unbelief so black and ugly? |
A41628 | Is the Vassalage of Satan more desirable, than the Libertie of the Sons of God? |
A41628 | Is the poor sinner laden, and pinched with the guilt of sin? |
A41628 | Is their confidence in God universal? |
A41628 | Is there an agreament twixt thine heart, and the things thou believest? |

A41628 | Is there not a secret displeasure, and dislike against Christ, even while they are forced, by reason of their extremities, to make use of him? |
A41628 | Is there not also abundance of Idolatrie in Infidelitie? |
A41628 | Is there so much Beautie in Sin, as to make men desire it before the Beauties of Holinesse? |
A41628 | Is there so much Beautie in the Deformitie of Sin? |
A41628 | Is there so much sin, and self- murder, wrapt up in its bowels? |
A41628 | Is this the grand motive of thy seeking after Christ, that thy good is laid up in Him, and not in thy self? |
A41628 | Is this to believe, to understand nothing of what we believe? |
A41628 | Is this, even among men, counted good Reception, to entertain a person of honorable condition, in some out- loge, or in the same place with the Swine? |
A41628 | It s true, I have a Notion and Forme of faith; but have I indeed the real Power and Virtue of Faith? |
A41628 | It s true, Means sometimes fail? |
A41628 | It s true, Unbelief is oft the cause of carnal securitie, but is it not also as oft the effect of it? |
A41628 | It s true, peradventure they may not be exemted from commun calamities; ay, but doth not God sanctifie, and sweeten al unto them? |
A41628 | It s true, scandalous sins have more of Infamie; but has not Infidelitie more of obliquitie, and guilt in it? |
A41628 | It s true, sometimes his Actions are changed; but are not his vital Principles, and Dispositions unchanged? |
A41628 | It s true, they have received the Word of God, but was it not as the word of men, as clothed with some human Autoritie, or excellence? |
A41628 | It s true, they, in a sort, receive Christ; but how is it? |
A41628 | It sets no bars or rails about the throne of Grace? |
A41628 | It''s true, He doth not alwaies keep his people from the crosse; ay, but doth he not always keep them under the crosse? |
A41628 | Jesurun( or Israel) waxed fat and kicked — They sacrificed to Devils, and forgot God,& c. What follows? |
A41628 | Lastly is there not a world of Atheisme in al Infidelitie? |
A41628 | Lastly, Do not the best of refined Hypocrites join a world of Spiritual Idols with Christ? |
A41628 | Lastly, as for al Divine Ordinances and Institutions, are they not dispirited, and made ineffectual by Unbelief? |
A41628 | Lastly, do not the most of Professors divide betwixt those good things that are in Christ, and those good things that flow from him? |
A41628 | Lastly, was Jerusalem guiltie of Impenitence, want of Humiliation, and open Apostasie? |
A41628 | Lo, they have rejected the Word of the Lord, and what wisdome is in them? |
A41628 | Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? |
A41628 | Many awakened sinners, while under dreadful Terrors, and Horrors of conscience, seem strongly inclined to receive Christ: who but Christ? |
A41628 | Master, see what manner of stones, and what buildings are here? |
A41628 | May it be imagined that the Lord of Glorie wil take up his logement in that soul, where base nasty lusts have the same, or better room than he? |
A41628 | May it not become a true Proverb, Much Infidelitie, and much Sorrow? |
A41628 | May not Christ justly estime your delay to embrace him, a refusal of him? |
A41628 | May not al these, and many more seeming Christians, be justly reputed Opposers,& Rejectors of Christ? |
A41628 | May not also convinced sinners procede very far in their Consent, to the good things that belong unto their peace, and yet remain Infidels? |
A41628 | May not the most of our tentations be resolved into some disbeliefe of the Scriptures? |
A41628 | May not then every sin deservedly cal Unbelief, father? |
A41628 | May not whoever wil, come and drink freely, and deeply of this living fountain? |
A41628 | May sinners come too soon to Christ, or before they are welcome? |
A41628 | May such a wretch as I come to Christ, to be embraced in his sacred armes? |
A41628 | May we imagine that the holy, and faithful God wil quit the place of his Residence, and glorious rest? |
A41628 | May we not conjecture, that some great coming of the Son of Man can not be far off, because faith is so much departed from the earth? |
A41628 | May we not count such bewitched Sots, who plot, and contrive, by al means possible, to ruine themselves? |
A41628 | May we not safely say, That he never truely mourned for any sin, who never mourned for Infidelitie, which is at the end of every Sin? |
A41628 | May we not then groundedly assure our selves, that our faithful Lord wil conserve and maintain his own Temple, and People that worship him therein? |
A41628 | May we not then justly crie out with Esaias, Who hath believed our Report? |
A41628 | May we not then, without any injustice, conclude, that Unbelief is the worst enemie we have in the world? |
A41628 | May we not, without breach of Charitie, judge those to be under the power of Unbelief, who were never truly sensible of the power of it? |
A41628 | Meditate also on thy short- spiritednesse, and its venimous influence on thine unbelief: How contracted and narrow is the Unbelievers heart? |
A41628 | Mine assent to Evangelic truths, and Mysteries seems firme and strong; ay, but doth it leave suitable impressions on mine heart? |
A41628 | Mine awakened Conscience attendes to the joyful sound of the Gospel; but doth not my lustful heart attend as much to allurements of lust? |
A41628 | Moreover how doth Unbelief narrow Divine Omnipotence; yea, look upon it as mere Impotence, and weaknes? |
A41628 | Moreover, how are the main breaches of our lives maintained, and improved by Infidelitie? |
A41628 | Moreover, how short- spirited and impatient are many Believers? |
A41628 | Multitudes now adays receive the Word of God; but how? |
A41628 | Must not every visive facultie have some agreament with the object visible? |
A41628 | Must not his royal love have a throne al alone in the heart? |
A41628 | My mind hath some estime for the good things of my peace; but has it not as great estime for the good things of this world? |
A41628 | Neverthelesse when the Son of Man cometh, shal he find faith on the earth? |
A41628 | Now if Infidelitie be so injurious to Christ, is it not just with him to vindicate such injuries? |
A41628 | Now what reception is given to such a magnificent rich Treat? |
A41628 | Now wherein lay this their Rebellion? |
A41628 | O Jerusalem, Jerusalem — How oft would I have gathered thy children together, even as an hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and ye would not? |
A41628 | O that men would believe, what a difficult thing it is to believe aright? |
A41628 | Of what use wil a Forme of Faith, without the Power of it be, unlesse to sinke us deeper into Hel? |
A41628 | Or suppose, that God continues some means of Grace, yet doth not Unbelief turne them into means of hardening? |
A41628 | Or, Wherein the Nature of Unbelief consists? |
A41628 | Or, Wherein the genuine Idea, or Nature of Vnbelief doth consist? |
A41628 | Or, was it not rather from the intuition of Jerusalem''s sins and sufferings? |
A41628 | Others, as the way to Honors? |
A41628 | Ought not the heart to be where the treasure is? |
A41628 | Satan is oft the father, but is not Unbelief the mother of al Tentations? |
A41628 | Sense of pain, or losse afflicts us: but how little are we afflicted with the sense of guilt and sin? |
A41628 | So also for carnal presumtion, and self- flatterie, what a seminal root is it of false, or commun faith? |
A41628 | So also, for al Gods works of Providence, how doth Unbelief draw a Veil on the most glorious of them? |
A41628 | So in like manner may we not repute him among the most understanding Believers, who is best skilled in discerning the Causes of Unbelief? |
A41628 | So long as Unbelievers despise Gospel- love, and Mercie, is it not just that Gospel- vengeance take hold of them? |
A41628 | So much Content in the embraces of an heart- distracting World? |
A41628 | So much Libertie in the Vassalage, and Bondage of Lusts? |
A41628 | So much Pleasure in the Chains and Fetters of Satan? |
A41628 | So much life in the death of Sin, and Hel torments, as to make a rational soul amorous of, and in love with them? |
A41628 | So much peace and ease in the stings, and troubles of a tormented Conscience? |
A41628 | So that can there be any thing more destructive to the Notion, and Nature of true faith, than such an Implicite faith? |
A41628 | Tel me, mayest thou not be in Hel, before this hereafter come? |
A41628 | That they expected the Bridegrooms coming, yea went forth to meet him; who yet never had interest in him, or the good things of his Kingdome? |
A41628 | The Covenant excludes none, but such as exclude themselves by Unbelief: and why should sinners exclude themselves, before God excludes them? |
A41628 | The Nature of Unbelief may be further explicated, from the many essential Defects that attend the Subject of this Reception? |
A41628 | The Notional Object of Unbelief: or, What are those Notional things, that belong unto our peace, which unbelief assents not unto? |
A41628 | The Peace of the Gospel is pleasing to my wounded Conscience; but are not the duties of the Gospel displeasing to my rebellious heart? |
A41628 | The Unbelievers commun faith may lead him to please Christ in shew, but is it not al to please himself in truth? |
A41628 | The evils that touch us afflict us; but how little are we afflicted with the evils that touch the honor of Christ, or his concernes? |
A41628 | The lesse there is of the creature, is there not the more of God in al our provisions? |
A41628 | The longer thou forbearest to believe, wil not thy heart be the more averse, and backward to believe? |
A41628 | They boast of securing themselves, and obtaining rest in their fenced Cities: Yes, saith the Prophet Ironicly, you shal be secure, and quiet: but how? |
A41628 | They disbelieve some Scriptures; and why? |
A41628 | They receive Christ, but is it not only, as a Bankrupt entertains a rich Suretie, to pay their debts to the Law? |
A41628 | They were al in hast to make him King: and why? |
A41628 | This Lamentation of Christ over impenitent Jerusalem teacheth us also, That mans Ruine is from himself? |
A41628 | Thou saiest thou wantest Grace: ay, but mayest thou not, by believing, receive Grace for Grace? |
A41628 | Thou saiest, thou assentest to the Truths of the Gospel; ay, but doth not thine heart dissent from the Duties of the Gospel? |
A41628 | Though he sometimes looked towards Christ, yet how little doth he follow that look? |
A41628 | Thy word have I hid in mine heart: and why so? |
A41628 | To believe only as the Church believes, without a right understanding of the objects we believe, what is it but to believe nothing as we ought? |

A41628 | Was it ever known, that a Father saw his Child burning in the fire, and yet wanted bowels of pitie for him? |
A41628 | Was it not chiefly by their murmurs and Unbelief? |
A41628 | Was not Moses an holy man, deprived of entring into Canaan for one act of unbelief? |
A41628 | Was not this Jerusalem''s sin and folie, for which she has paid so dear, for 1600 years? |
A41628 | Was not this Noble HE her Protector, and Conductor in the Wildernesse? |
A41628 | Was not this Soverain HE, her King and Lawgiver in Canaan? |
A41628 | Was not this also that which made Judas betray, Peter denie, and the Jews crucifie the Lord of Glorie? |
A41628 | Was not this also the great sin, that brought old Jerusalem under the Babylonian captivitie? |
A41628 | Was not this the temper of Lots spirit? |
A41628 | Was not this the very case of the unbelieving Jews, even from their infant- state in the Wildernes? |
A41628 | Was the want of Reformation Jerusalems Church- depopulating Sin? |
A41628 | Was there ever a greater miracle under Heaven, excepting the Incarnation of the Son of God, than the working of faith in an unbelieving heart? |
A41628 | Was there ever, since the coming of our Lord in the flesh, more light, and yet more Atheisme in the world? |

A41628 | Yea, how severely hath God punished this sin in his own people? |
A41628 | Yea, indeed, What are al the Unbelievers jugements and torments, but such as he electively, and voluntarily draws upon himself? |

A41628 | and are there so many Curses and Plagues, both temporal, spiritual, and eternal, entailed on it? |
A41628 | and art thou not then engaged to act Faith much, that so thou mayst continue strong, and grow more strong in Grace? |
