A33459Does God gain any thing by our devotions?
A33459Follow the Authority of the Church which can not misguide you?
A33459For when I ask, why you believe any Mystery of Faith?
A33459Is it the Authority of Men?
A33459On the other hand, if I demand, Why you do believe that any Miracles were done for the Confirmation of the Faith?

A33459What then?
A33459Whether the Gods took upon them the Government of things below, or sate as idle themselves in Heaven as their Images were here on Earth?
A33459Whether the World had a beginning, or had endured from all eternity?

A33459shall vve believe Turks, Jews, Heathens, Atheists themselves( if there be any such) in an equal possibility of salvation, with the unerring Christian?
A33459what if that should perswade him to this Apostacy?

A70079The Ambitious man what enjoyment has he?

A64062And after this, what can be supposed wanting in order to salvation?
A64062And what can be added to all this, but this thing alone to prove the Divinity of Jesus?
A64062But for whom and under whose conduct was all this to be believed, and all this to be done, and all this to be suffered?
A64062But if you still ask where it was before Luther?
A64062But if you yet enquire further, whether fancy may be an ingredient in your choice?
A64062Could a few Fishermen and a Publican effect all this for the son of a poor Maiden of Judaea?

A64062That is, by what expressions it may be signified?
A64062That is, what are the duties in presence and in absence; whether the friend may not desire to enjoy his friend as well as his friendship?
A64062That salvation may be had in your Church, is it ever the truer because we say it?
A64062The first is; where was your Church before Luther?
A64062The last inquiry is, how friendships are to be conducted?
A64062The next inquiry is how far it may extend?
A64062To the other Questions; Whether an Ecclesiastical Tradition be of equal authority with Divine?

A12203Shall I oppose Cods sentence?
A12203Shall wee grieve much for the losse of that that wee can not hold?
A12203Shall wee make all things subordinate to them, as worldlings doe, subordinate Religion to worldly things, and make all things contrary?
A12203Shall wee stand upon apparitions, that the more wee know them, the more wee shall undervalew them?
A12203The fashion of this world passeth away; value them by that they have of eternitie, what of the Spirit is in them?
A12203There is a danger to be hurt, and a danger in being hurt, did not sinne come in that way?
A12203There is a goodly shew and Apparition: what is within?
A12203To adde a little in this point, This is the reason why none but a true Christian can carry himselfe moderately in the things of this world, why?
A12203VVhat is become of Babylon, and all those goodly Cities?
A12203VVhat is become of Ierusalem?
A12203VVhat is become of Rome?
A12203VVhat is the Sacrament, but the Food of our Soules, our Everlasting Manna, that will continue for ever, and make us continue for ever?
A12203VVhat is the ground of this, that all things are thus passing?
A12203VVhat is this point of time to eternitie?
A12203VVho promised thee thou shouldest enioy thy wise long, that thou shouldest enjoy thy children long, thy place long: haste thou a promise for this?
A12203Was not Adam led away by his wife?
A12203Wee say if a glasse be broke, is a man much angrie?
A12203Were it not an unkinde thing if a man should invite strangers, if they should turne their kinde friend that had invited them, out of dores?
A12203What Grace is in them?
A12203What doth riches doe you good?
A12203What hath the Minister to doe with these things?
A12203What if all the earth should fayle?
A12203What is this little time given us for?
A12203What is within government?
A12203What is within the things of this life?
A12203What thoughts hath hee of his Eternall estate, of the fading condition of these things?
A12203What time?
A12203What to use them as if they had none?
A12203When a Christian is all in passion, all in Ioy, all in feares, or in griefe: why, what is the matter at that time?
A12203Why should wee dote upon a perishing fashion?
A12203Why should wee promise our selves that which the Word doth not promise us, or that wee can not see experience of in the world?
A12203Why would wee have a condition severed from all men?
A12203Why?
A12203and how many men perish by being too Vxorious, by being too flexible in that kinde?
A12203are they new Creatures?
A12203are they new borne?
A12203are they such as may helpe to the main?
A12203are they truely noble?
A12203hath a States- man skil in this or that trade?
A12203how few houses have you, that the childe, or the Grand- childe can say, this was my Grand- fathers, and my Great Grand- fathers?
A12203is there not a great deale of care?
A12203no: why do I intangle my selfe in that which hinders the maine?
A12203to care for them, as if they had none?
A12203what desperate follie is it to venture the losse of Eternitie, for the enioying of these things?
A12203what desperate folly were it?
A12203what doth possessions doe you good?
A12203what of the Image of God is in them?
A67772An ● how am I served accordingly?
A67772And are they to be endured everlastingly?
A67772And indeed, if the gates of the City be of Pearl, and the streets of Gold; what then are the inner rooms, the dining and lodging chambers?
A67772And now for conclusion: Are the Joys of Heaven so unspeakable and glorious?
A67772And what makes the difference?
A67772And what shall I say more?
A67772And withal lose their part and portion in the Kingdom of Heaven, as the Word of God expresly tells us?
A67772As consider, If a dark dungeon here be so loathsom, what is that dungeon of eternal, of utter darkness?
A67772As tell me, Will not their blood be required at your hands, if they perish through your neglect?
A67772As what says the Apostle?
A67772As, Dost thou desire beauty, riches, honour, pleasure, long life, or whatever else can be named?
A67772As, Who would not obtain Heaven at any rate, at any cost or trouble whatsoever?
A67772But, oh wretched Caitiff that I am; how hath the Devil and my own deceitful and devilish heart deluded me?
A67772Christ our Redeemer and Elder- brother?
A67772Dance hoodwinkt into this perdition?
A67772Do we delight in good company?
A67772Do you ask what Heaven is?
A67772FIrst, Is it so, that the torments of Hell are so exquisite?
A67772For as St. Paul tells us, The heart of man is not able to conceive those joyes; which being so, How should I be able to express them in words?
A67772For if the brightness of the body shall match the Sun, what will the glory and splendour of the soul be?
A67772For this incorruptible Crown of Glory in Heaven?
A67772Fourthly, Is it so?
A67772Hath Christ done so much for us, and shall we deny him any thing he requireth of us?
A67772He who brings even idle words to judgment, and forgets not a thought of disobedience, how will he spare our gross negligence and presumption?
A67772Hearken we unto Christs voice, in all that he saith unto us, without being swayed one way or another, as the most are?
A67772Hell in Scripture is called a Lake, that burneth with fire and brimstone; and, than the torment of the former, what more acute?
A67772How does this hang together?
A67772How glorious and wonderful is the Maker thereof, and the City where he keeps his Court?
A67772How is it that we are not more affected therewith?
A67772How sweet then shall our knowledge in heaven be?
A67772How then should we admire the love and bounty of God, and bless his Name, who for the performance of so small a work, hath proposed so great a Reward?
A67772How will it end?
A67772How wouldst thou toss and tumble, and turn from one side to another?
A67772If material fire be so terrible, what is Hell- fire?
A67772If the earnest penny be so precious and promising here; What shall the principal, and full crop and harvest of happiness in Heaven be?
A67772If then the beginning and first fruits of it be so sweet, what shall the fulness of that beatifical Vision of God be?
A67772In whom there is nothing but amiable, comfortable, delectable?
A67772It will put thee to a demur, What have I done?
A67772Now consider, Is one hours twitche of the worm of conscience here?
A67772Now what heart would not bleed, to see men run headlong into those tortures that are thus intolerable?
A67772Oh that men would believe the God of truth( that can not lye) touching spiritual and eternal things, but as they do these temporary and transitory?
A67772Or in case we have peace of conscience, alas, how often is it interrupted with anguish of spirit?
A67772Or that light from whence it receives its light?
A67772SEcondly, Are the Joys of Heaven so unspeakable and glorious?
A67772The Angels and Saints our Comforts and Companions?
A67772The holy Ghost our Comforter?
A67772Then wilt thou say, O that I had been more wise, or that I were now to begin my life again; then would I contemn the world with all its vanities?
A67772What am I now aabout?
A67772What is a thousand years?
A67772What is eternity of hell torments?
A67772What little enough to do, to obtain eternity?
A67772What pleasure shall we take in the company of Saints and Angels?
A67772What then can be more equal, then that thou shouldst suffer everlastingly?
A67772What then will it be to lie in flames of fire?
A67772What though it be usual with men, to have no sense of their souls till they must leave their bodies?
A67772What will it be to enjoy the immediate presence, and glory of God our Father?
A67772What''s a Fetter to a Dungeon?
A67772Whether he finds not his joy to be like to the joy of harvest?
A67772Whether will this course tend?
A67772While we are here, how many clouds of discontent have we to darken the Sunshine of our Joy?
A67772Who would not serve a short Apprenticeship in Gods service here, to be made for ever free in glory?
A67772Will it not be sad to have Children and Servants rise up in judgment against you, and to bring in Evidence at the great Tribunal of Christ?
A67772Will not this be sad?
A67772Yea more, is Heaven so unspeakably sweet and delectable, is Hell so unutterably doleful?
A67772Yea, are all these, and all other pains that can be named put together, but shadows and flea- bitings to it?
A67772Yea, how can we be thankful enough for so great a blessing?
A67772Yea, how little, how nothing, are the poor and temporary enjoyments of this life, to those we shall enjoy in the next?
A67772Yea, how oft do those Russians that deny God at the Tap- house, preach him at the Gallows?
A67772Yea, is one minutes twitch of a tooth pulling out so unsufferable?
A67772Yea, what pain can we think too much to suffer?
A67772Yea, who can utter the sweetness of that peace of Conscience, and spiritual rejoycing in God, which himself hath tasted?
A67772Yea, who would not be a Philpot for a month, or a Lazarus for a day, or a Stephen for an hour, that he might be in Abrahams bosome for ever?
A67772a Gallows to Hell- fire?
A67772and confess that in sincerity of heart, which they oppugned in wantonness?
A67772how would it charm their mouths, appall their spirits, strike fear and astonishment into their hearts?
A67772or as men rejoyce when they divide a spoil?
A67772than the smell of the latter, what more noysome?
A67772the presence chamber of the great Monarch of Heaven and Earth?
A67772the torments of Hell so woful and dolorous?
A67772those delights and pleasures, that are reserved for the glorified Saints, and Gods dearest darlings in heaven?
A67772what then may we think of the maker and builder thereof?
A26295Am I not subject to the envy of many, and many times in great solicitude to defend what I have from deceit and wrong, if not from injustice?
A26295And Can a man take Fire in his Bosom, and his Cloaths not be burnt?
A26295And can I be secure that it shall not be my lot and portion before I leave the world?
A26295And doth not that teach you first to be just, and to render unto every one their due?
A26295And how can he get wisdom that holdeth the Plow?
A26295And indeed why should I continue my Religion any longer to you, to slight and contemn it, to reproach and defame it?
A26295And may we be all a little serious, and thus argue with our selves every one of us, Am not I a Christian?
A26295And now proceed on, and say to your self, shall I be so sottish and unwise, not to understand and take things as they truly are?
A26295Annos si regnes felix per mille, quid inde?
A26295Besides, how uncertain are these outward enjoyments in respect of their continuance?
A26295Blessed is the Rich that is found without blemish, — Who is he and we will call him blessed?
A26295Can all my Honours and Abundance secure me one moment from most of the Hazards and Casualties, Sicknesses and Diseases, incident to the meanest?
A26295Can any thing be more desperate and insensate madness and absurdity?
A26295Can one go upon hot Coals, and his Feet not be burnt?
A26295Dicta factis deficientibus, what do they signify?
A26295Do not these things deserve to be seriously deliberated upon in my health and strength?
A26295Doth not knowledge and wisdom therefore become you?
A26295For shall the Lion roar, and shall not all the Beasts of the Forest tremble?
A26295Hath it not been well and truly observed, that the Roman Empire always best flourished, when it was the greatest Reverers of the Gods?
A26295How doth it unfit them( by thus degrading and debasing themselves by their sensualities) to be Magistrates and Governours under their Prince?
A26295How hard a thing is it for a Rich man to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven?
A26295How often may we meet with Storms and Tempests at Land as well at Sea?
A26295How shall we be able to magnify him?
A26295If it be true, why do you not practise it?
A26295In reference to our Estates and Families, how necessary is this Christian duty of Temperance?
A26295Is it not the very voice of your daily actions, depart from us O Lord, for we desire not the knowledge of thy Laws?
A26295Is it not time therefore for us all to learn Righteousness?
A26295Much more when it is grown to that height and perfection, as to become the Epidemical Sin of the Nation( as it were) at this day?
A26295Now may not our blessed Lord and Saviour thus argue the case with us?
A26295Oh how little of the footsteps thereof is to be found among the greatest part of Christians, and us also in this Nation?
A26295Si tibi sponsa decens, si sit Generosa, quid inde?
A26295So the Sinner with the Godly?
A26295The splendor, glory and prosperity of your Prince is yours; take away the Sun out of the Firmament, and what will become of the Stars?
A26295What can it be less than the greatest reproach imaginable to us Christians, that this Swinish sin should be once named among us?
A26295What fellowship hath the Wolf with the Lamb?
A26295What further use can this holy and excellent Copy be to us, who abhor to write after, and to follow it?
A26295What great cause have we to pray as our Church well directs us in the Collect upon Michaelmas day?
A26295What is it at which with so much pain and labour we strive to arive?
A26295What is it therefore that the holy and excellent Religion of the ever blessed Jesus requires of me?
A26295What temptations do I lye under to Pride, Vain- glory, Gluttony, Drunkenness, Lust, Envy and Revenge, and a many other vices and enormities?
A26295What then is our being?
A26295What, not so much as to look on a Woman to lust after her?
A26295Will not the most skilful Artist be unable after a little time to find out a distinction between our Bones or our Dust?
A26295Will there then be any difference between me and the poorest Begger in the Grave?
A26295and am I not under greater Temptations in this world, together with vast cares that attend me?
A26295or of the young man to our blessed Saviour, What must I do to do the works of God?

A26306And whence can this Necessity of admiring God proceed, unless it spontaneously arise from Known Perfection?
A26306And would he be so excessively vex''d at being reduc''d, even to that Nothing, which surrounds him on every side?

A26306For what else is it to love One- self, but to desire Happiness, and to desire Happiness, but to love One- self?
A26306From the Objects?
A26306Have we not another Futurity in View, which very well deserves the principal Care and Occupation of our Heart and Mind?
A26306How come I, on the contrary, to love an unknown Person as soon as I see him, without informing my self either of his Merit, or unworthiness?
A26306How comes this to pass?
A26306How should his Courage be pull''d down, to whom the Dangers o ● this Life, seem no Dangers at all; nor the Miseries of this World, real Miseries?
A26306I would know in the next place, Whether we can feel Joy and Delight without loving One- self, proportionably to this Perception?
A26306Is it from any natural Defect of the Mind?
A26306Is it not because the Contempt of our Neighbour, is rather affected, than real?
A26306Is it tolerable, that a Man should make such Sacrifices to himself, as he would dread to Offer to the greatest of his Gods?
A26306Now what Course can be taken to elevate, and render''em worthy and becoming the Grandeur of Men?
A26306O Death, where is thy Sting?
A26306O Grave, where is thy Victory?
A26306Or, if their Esteem be so much worth, as to deserve the most passionate Desire of our Souls, how can we despise''em?
A26306Qui fit Maecenas, ut Nemo, quam sibi sortem Seu Ratio dederit, seu sors objecerit, illâ Contentus vivat, laudet diversa sequentes?
A26306Reason is call''d to judge and pass Sentence; but with how great Partiality does it execute this Office?
A26306Shall I tell thee Araspe?
A26306Shall Oppression or Anguish?
A26306Shall we believe that the Wisdom of the Creatour is inconsistent with it self precisely in this?
A26306What Advantage could they see in sacrificing their Goods and Themselves upon the Altar of Pride?
A26306What can it do to us?
A26306What do I say?
A26306What does Humane Learning teach us?
A26306What need we value the Menaces and Threats of the World?
A26306What will Men''s Esteem signify to me, when I am not in Being to enjoy it?
A26306Whence proceeds this Darkness?
A26306Why should we embarass and perplex our selves with Cares and Sollicitude for the short Futurity of this transient Life?
A26306Why then should we trouble our selves with such vain and contradictory Queries, As whether the Saints love God, better than themselves?
A26306Would one, whose Merit reaches no higher than that of a Mortal and Dying Man, resent so great Horrour in Debasement?
A26306Yet who is ignorant, that Men confound an unfortunate Ingenuity, with Ignorance; and a fortunate Ignorance obtains the Glory of Ingenuity?
A26306who''ll assure me of the Possession of my Riches?
A26306who''ll secure me of the Preservation of those Friends, whom I love and delight in?
A691403 Behold the bargaine, and tremble at it; blesse thy God that thou hast not beene ouerraught?
A691403 where the soule finds no rest in God, how can it be but restles in hawking after shadows?
A691404 where pride is a chaine, how can bondage or subiection be any whit brooked?
A691406 Can there be a greater plague to the wicked then still to be desiring, what they compasse?
A69140And alas, how doe we seeke for mercy in this case, but for feare of vengance?
A69140And can we looke for a better haruest of such fearfull seedings?
A69140And haue we no leasure for religion, our thrift comes in so fast, al time is too little, either to husband wel that we haue, or to better our estate?
A69140And how shall the faults of Ministers bee corrected but by the supreame Magistrate?
A69140And indeed how can it be, that Satan should performe with them?
A69140And is it any other in our Honourable Court of the High Commission, and in other Consistories of our Clergie?
A69140And is not now bodily seruice made an Idoll, and will worship set in the seate of the scorners?
A69140And is not this now Satans time to make prey of the soule?
A69140And is there any feare of God, where prophanesse is iustified,& that by abusing and peruerting the straight waies of God?
A69140And seeing Mammon serues our present turne, what more profit shall we haue in the seruice of God?
A69140And what need wee desire the wine and the corne, when our God is at peace with vs?
A69140And what neede he then take care for any other happines?
A69140And when we haue the most thereof at the best, will it not prooue too heauie a reckoning without the blessing of God?
A69140Are we sick of the world, and neuer satisfied therewith?
A69140As, the Minister may be also a Magistrate?
A69140But now on the other side, doth hee performe with them?
A69140Consider we a little, how they vse these things: are they not vsually in extreames and so bode extremity?
A69140Doe they not in distrust of Gods prouidence, vsually make Idols of these things, and so are giuen vp to make Idols of themselues?
A69140Doth Cain build Cities,& seeke to nestle himselfe surely on the earth, to auoid the storme of heauen?
A69140Doth Iudas sell his Maister for the wages of vnrighteousnesse, and doth he not set his soule to sale to the deuill?
A69140Doth not affliction bridle sinne, and withdraw many encouragments there- from?
A69140For What shall it profit a man though he should win the whole world, and lose his owne soule?
A69140Haue we begun in the spirit, and haue quickly enough thereof?
A69140How can this choose but breed despaire, and fearefull confusion?
A69140How can we expect Grapes of thornes, or Figges of thistles?
A69140How commonly do men prostitute their soules for the loue of the world?
A69140How could wee enuie and fret at the prosperity of others?
A69140How doth this discouer our barrennes of grace, how doth it conuince our bondage vnto sinne?
A69140How fearefully heereby doe they enthrall themselues to destruction?
A69140If Balaam for promotion, will bring God to his wicked bent: doth he not loue the wages of iniquitie, and expose his soule to the rage of Sathan?
A69140If Saul to cloake his sinne, will be hindered of the people, shall he not be reiected of God, and hasten his own confusion?
A69140If happinesse consist in enioying the world, then what need we feare to venture the soule; vnlesse we enuie our owne happinesse?
A69140If we could be humbled dayly in the sence of our vnworthynesse, how should we be thankfull for the least?
A69140If we could daily renewe our repentance, how should we preuent, or reiect Satans assaults?
A69140Is it no profit to aduenture thy soule for the world?
A69140Is it not at the least as Sauls Armour, too heauy a burthen for vs?
A69140Is it not now a ruled Case among Worldlings, that there is no hell but to be in debt?
A69140Is it with purpose to be ridde of our sinnes, or rather for hope we may returne to our vomit againe?
A69140Is not euery Trade a Mysterie forsooth?
A69140Is not he our sufficient portion, and shall we not with him haue all things else?
A69140Is the price too deare?
A69140Is thine eye euill because his is good?
A69140Nay, is not the present Euent vsually a warrant herein?
A69140One Trades- man may exercise diuers ciuill Callings?
A69140Shall we for our better informing take a view of some of them?
A69140Shall wee discouer the delusions which preuaile hereunto?
A69140Such are the grounds to compasse these things, and are not the meanes suteable?
A69140This serues the turne for the present, and what neede we any more?
A69140What can we see abroad which may not more humble vs vnder the hand of God?
A69140What hope of preuailing, where the soule is thus armed?
A69140What need he feare whatsoeuer Bug- beares of heauen or hell, that simple men are feared withall?
A69140What roome could there bee for him, if the heart were so employed?
A69140What should wee doe with a whole world, whereof nothing is our due, and the least may serue the turne?
A69140Whence it followeth?
A69140Whether one man may haue diuers Callings?
A69140Who would not enioy the most of all those things, that he may haue greatest happines?
A69140Why do worldings engrosse and compasse the earth, but that they haue no hope of heauen?
A69140Will Satan play thus false with thee, and cheate thee in thy Bargaine?
A69140Will wee make sure of thriuing first, before wee labour for knowledge, and the feare of God?
A69140and can these be but abused where credit is made the head, and conscience the tayle?
A69140and can wee admit of any Iudge then ciuill honestie?
A69140and is not the ground thereof, that roote of Atheisme, that they account of no God but Mammon, no heauen but worldly happinesse?
A69140and is not this Mysterie abused commonly to deceiue, and be deceiued?
A69140and what remaines there vnto vs but a fearefull expectation thereof?
A69140can the conscience be free where profit limits religion, and ciuility is the iudge thereof?
A69140doth not troubles awake the conscence, and at least breed some remorse& outward abstinence from euill?
A69140hauing mouthes and yet dare not taste, hauing bellies, and yet pine themselues?
A69140how maiest thou prepare thy selfe to euerlasting fulnes?
A69140how ordinarily do men transgresse for morsels of bread?
A69140how shall their wrongs be righted but by him?
A69140how willingly is the soule made a prey for the gaining of earthly things?
A69140if thou canst be faithfull a little, shalt thou not see greater things thē these?
A69140it hath sorted well; and therefore it is well: what should I say?
A69140must we not make the best of what we haue, seeing wee will haue no better?
A69140nay, may not our precisenesse hinder our profit?
A69140or rather doe we not dreame of mercy, and yet when we are awake we are an hungry?
A69140that it is madnesse to thinke that there is any such couenant with Satan?
A69140that plenty hath brought forth vanitie, and the daughter hath deuoured the mother?
A69140who lesse enioy that they haue, then they that haue most?
A23734AND now, O Lord, I who am less than the least of all thy Mercies, what shall I render thee?
A23734ART thou in Want, which excites thy Discontent?
A23734ASK thy Conscience whether it can presume to sin wittingly and willingly?
A23734Again he demanded, That being Won, shall our Wars end?
A23734And canst thou think that the Almighty will suffer thee to be lost, by permitting thee to Temptations?
A23734And if God Justifies, who shall Condemn?
A23734And rather more for the love of God, than for fear of his Judgments?
A23734And what can the richest Treasures of Princes afford them more than Tranquility of Mind?
A23734And what shall we do then,( said Cineas?)
A23734And whether it can be sedate in any known and unrepented Sin?
A23734Art thou endowed with Riches?
A23734But when we have all in our Hands,( said Cineas) what shall we do in the end?
A23734Can the Husbandman, so opportune the Wind, that he will not lose the Corn, but cleanse it from the Chaff?
A23734DOST thou detest all Sin, because it is contrary to God''s Holy Will?
A23734DOST thou resolve to oblige thy self to avoid Sin?
A23734DOTH thy Faith endure many sharp encounters of the Tempter?
A23734Dost thou carefully shun all occasions and incentives moving thee and enticing thee to Sin and Wickedness?
A23734Dost thou conscientiously and diligently use the means to take cognizance of thy Sins; as by applying the word of God home to thy Conscience?
A23734Dost thou in the inward Man consent to the Law of God?
A23734ENQUIRE whether thou dost not persevere in some habitual sin?
A23734Even this which thou now complainest of?
A23734From this Inference, ask thy Conscience whether thou wouldst have committed this Evil which now wounds it?
A23734HOW properly may vain, childish things, like dead Leaves neer the fruitful Autumn, fall off our minds, when we subscribe our selves Men?
A23734Hast thou a hearty desire to have these wants of Grace supplyed?
A23734Hast thou laid it up in a Solicitous Heart?
A23734Hast thou not neglected the appointed means?
A23734Hast thou not procured this unto thy self?
A23734Hast thou valued it, and begged it fervently and frequently of God, above all things in the World?
A23734How few set a right Estimate on Heavenly things till it be too late?
A23734How guilty then must thou be in Envying his Felicity?
A23734If God in his good Pleasure would have destroyed thee; how often and justly might he have taken thee away in thy Sins?
A23734If want of Faith perplex thee; hast thou not negligently heard the Gospel?
A23734In every affliction, examine well thy Heart for the Cause: Wherefore is the living Man Sorrowful?
A23734Is he Good?
A23734Is not every Temptation as the shaking of Trees, which loosing the ground, Engrafts them the deeper?
A23734Is not it enough that he will effect that which is properest and best for thee and canst thou pretend to outvie his Wisdom?
A23734Is not the sound of their Masters Feet behind them?
A23734Is thy Fortune slender?
A23734It animated the Royal Prophet to cry out, In the Lord put I my trust; how say ye then to my Soul, flee, as a Bird to your Mountain?
A23734It was no small tryal, when David cryed out, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A23734MAKE that inquest with thy Soul, whether ever thou wert possest of that, which thou art now sensible thou wantest?
A23734NATURAL Historians acquaint us of some Countries free from Serpents; but who can inform me of any barren of Envy?
A23734Nay, what can I, for all thy Transcendent Blessings?
A23734Next we must respect the quality of the Envied; Is he Evil whom thou Enviest?
A23734O Jerusalem, saith the Lord, wash thy Heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be Saved: How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge in thee?
A23734Or complain of Danger?
A23734Or doth it bear sway and tyrannize over thee?
A23734Pyrrhus replied, The way was then open enough to attain great Conquests, and who would not afterwards go into Africk, and so to Carthage?
A23734SEEING then Calamity is often the Discipline of Virtue; Shall his Stomach be averse to the Antidote, who greedily swallowed down the Poyson?
A23734THE Heart is deceitful above all things; who can know it?
A23734That, The Heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?
A23734The Lord is my Light and my Salvation, whom shall I fear?
A23734The Lord is the strength of my Life, of whom shall I be afraid?
A23734The Spirit of a Man will sustain his Infirmities, but a wounded Spirit who can bear?
A23734The first is evident in Jehoram''s Message, Behold, said that Prophaner, beheld, this evil is of the Lord, what should I wait for the Lord any longer?
A23734WHAT are Honors, where a qualification of Mind is wanting to manage them?
A23734WHEN thou art under any Temptation examine thy self whether thou delightest in it?
A23734WOULDST thou embrace Sanctity, and is it thy Heart''s desire to serve God in sincerity?
A23734What advantage did he reap upon the Royal Prophet, by staining so glorious a Life, which was produc''d by his few hours Vacancy?
A23734What are Pleasures?
A23734What are Riches without a Mind well qualified, but snares, and easie ways to Hell?
A23734What can Secular Honours advantage thee, when thou art condemned by the Almighty?
A23734What if Heavens General drew thee out, and posted thee for one of the Forlorn Hope of Martyrdom, and the Fiery Tryal?
A23734What is Beauty?
A23734What is Strength?
A23734What then shall our Glory be when we shall be like Christ?
A23734When he cometh, shut the Door, and hold him fast there: Is not the sound of his Master''s Feet behind him?
A23734When the sting of Death is taken out, who would not be Valiant?
A23734Wherefore should I fear in the days of Evil?
A23734Wherefore think you Evil in your hearts?
A23734Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the Words of my Roaring?
A23734Why art thou so sad, O my Soul, and why art thou so disquieted within me?
A23734Wouldst thou desert the Service?
A23734who is able, if a little neglected, to kill Body and Soul?
A10839A man of his worth so to be used?
A10839And how good is it, sayth one, that this worm should be felt, whilst it may be killed; and gnaw for a time, that it may be choaked for ever?
A10839And how should they expect honour from their children, who have dishonoured their parents?
A10839And how should we make account, that God should hear us, if we hear not our selvs?
A10839And if God left not himself without witnesse in his works of creation, and providence; how much lesse in his written Word?
A10839And if the Holy Scriptures direction reach unto the whole course of our life, how much more of our Religion, or worship of God?
A10839And what avails it the ravenous bird to devour that, which belongs not to her, if therewith, she her self be taken by the leg, in the Fowlers snare?
A10839And what if his hope stretched it self to the Monarchy of the whole World?
A10839And what is this offence many times?
A10839And what shall we think of the Spaniards Romish zeal?
A10839And who knoweth Gods will but by revelation of his Spirit?
A10839Are there not many Elyes in all Ages?
A10839Besides, if the woman be a necessarie evill, how evill is the man, for whom she is necessarie?
A10839Besides, what strange thing is it to see a Stone fall downward, or a Spark fly upward?
A10839But how many grown men pray but with litle,( if any) affection, that they may not be beaten in hell?
A10839But what is the shadow to the substance?
A10839But what is this peace, unto which not a few of those good oratours so earnestly, and eloquently perswade?
A10839But who would have his childe like his horse in his bruitishnes?
A10839Els, what wise man should not be a fool also?
A10839For how can that worship of God please him, which is not according to his will?
A10839For what burthens of afflictions, and temptations will not he cherfully undergo, that expects undoubtedly their speedie ending in endlesse happinesse?
A10839For who can understand his errours?
A10839For who knoweth what a day will bring forth, and whether the opportunitie of doing good, will continue till to morrow, or no?
A10839Have we hurt him before?
A10839He?
A10839How close doth this corruption cleav unto us, and how dangerous is it withall; for the purging out of which, the Lord useth such a medicine?
A10839How extreamly rich would many be?
A10839How good were it for inferiours, that Superiours minded this, ● s they ought?
A10839How mightie, and powerfull some?
A10839How much better for themselvs?
A10839How much more, and greater a mercy is it, when they receav the grace to consecrate their youth and best dayes to God in holynes?
A10839How oft do men, though remaining, in nature, reasonable Creatures, perform acts plainly unreasonable and brutish, thorough ignorance, or appetite?
A10839If it be a good thing to appear good, how much more to be so indeed?
A10839In their infancie, how soon is the tender bud nipped or bruised by sicknes, or otherwise?
A10839Is any among you afflicted?
A10839Is he a good man?
A10839Is he a malicious, and unmerited enemy?
A10839Is he wicked?
A10839Now what Christian heart( any way tender of Gods glorie) bleeds not at the worlds impietie this way?
A10839Now, if it be here demanded, whether the injuries offered by freinds, or by others, be lesse tolerable?
A10839Now, who would not strive to excell other men in that, wherein men excell all other Creatures?
A10839Or what fool should not be a wise man?
A10839So the first labourers in the vyneyard sayd of the last, to him which hyred them; why givest thou so much unto them?
A10839Temporary torments, specially those more great, are greivous to conceav of; how much more to undergoe?

A10839What?
A10839Who ever shall finde a black- mouthed blasphemer cursing,& swearing in his Books?
A10839Who knoweth with how little God can, and doth save many, being faithfull in learning what they can, and in observing what they know?
A10839Yea who can say with how little, and unperfit Faith in Christ both for degree, and parts, God both can, and doth save the sincere in heart?
A10839he but gives us our due, and why should we not take it at his hands?
A10839how dejected, and depressed many more?
A10839how many extreamly poore?
A10839or a happy life, who despise the author of their life under God?
A10839or if a silly worme be troden upon?
A10839or look that God should be mindefull of us, if we our selvs mynde not, with intention of thought, and desire what we ask of him?
A10839or that he, who is litle, be litle set by?
A10839sayth the Apostle, let him pray: Is any merry?
A10839specially by such a one?
A10839why should we marvayl, if he do his kynde?
A10839yea, I add, then many take for hell, which their wickednes brings upon them unavoydably?
A65659( c) As Christ saith, If you love them that love you, what reward have you?
A65659( h) Nunquid non in semine tota arbor?
A65659( i) What a ridiculous business was it, though the Historian excuse it?
A65659( i) Whence( say they in the Gospel) hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
A65659( k) Iam vero illud quale, quam sanctum, quod siquis ex Nobilibus converti ad Deum coeperit, statim honorem Nobilitatis amittit?
A65659( r) Do winds and waves oppose them?
A65659( s) Was it not ominous that a man should bring forth an Hare in Xerxes army?
A65659( t) Do great ones, such as think themselves Lords of the world, treat?
A65659( u) Should such a man as I fly?

A65659( u) Who more despicable with men, then Peter a fisher man and poor?
A65659( x) Qualis( malùm) Deus isle est, qui tàm impuros ex se filios& sceleratos genuit?
A65659( y) If thy breath slink, or thou be deformed, wilt thou say, Thy father was sweet or fair?
A65659( y) What though children do not alwayes patrizare, but sometimes degenerate from the virtue of their Progenitours?
A65659( z) De praescientia verò quid dicam?
A65659And do we not think that there is a third man that may justly scorn both as having nothing in them of true Christianity?
A65659And how doth the wise Orator redeem himself out of his hands?
A65659And if you salute your brethren only, what do you more then others?
A65659And so we suppose St. Paul would have taken( k) Agrippa, Believest thou the Prophets?
A65659And what honour can proceed from a noble birth imbased by a sinfull life?
A65659And what other usage can Ministers expect, when they deal with rude people, but to have all manner of filth, and dung cast in their faces?
A65659And what then is the glory of the of the Nobles and Potentates of this world, compared to the glory which shall be revealed in the Saints?
A65659And wherefore this?
A65659Are not the Devils( if I may so say) as well- born and descended as the best?
A65659Are the one mercifull?
A65659Are they not the Sons of God, and the children all of them of the Highest?
A65659But how comes it to passe that such as are well descended, do so far transcend others?
A65659But who are these?
A65659But( p) Who knows not that gold and silver are deservedly preferred before Iron and Brasse which yet are more for use and service then they?
A65659Can we drink and pisse, pisse and drink in the same cups?
A65659Can we prise and despise, use and abuse the same persons?
A65659Dei filium imperabat lacere, ut operibus magìs quàm sermonibus Deus agnosceretur;& tu Nobilem te dicis qui es factus?
A65659Did their liberal hearts devise( m) liberal things, and doest thou practise thy self, and teach also thy children all( n) sordid arts?
A65659Did these want valour?
A65659Did they keep open house for all commers, and doest thou still shut up thy doors, lest others should come and eat up thy commons?
A65659Do not even the Publicans do the same?
A65659Do not even the Publicans so?
A65659Does the enemy overbear them in number?
A65659Doth not God himself complain of this as of a grosse and ridiculous deportment?
A65659Et ● heatricae illius turpitudinis qua fronte notatur actor, si adoratur exactor?
A65659Every creature is valued according to its own inherent worth, and must man alone take up his credit from without himself, from his Noble birth?
A65659For what is Godliness, but the imitation of God?
A65659For why?
A65659If they affect the Religion which they profess, and seek the advancement both of it, and those that administer thereunto; Do not the Heathen do so?
A65659Is Saul also among the Prophets?
A65659Is it not a shame and a grief, to see rare parts of nature either drowned with sottishness, or overrun with vice for lack of tillage?
A65659Is it not ridiculous to see men of great birth and wealth, to have little wit or worth?
A65659Is not his Mother called Mary?
A65659Is not this the Carpenters son?
A65659Is this house which is called by my Name, become a den of Robbers in mine eyes?

A65659Many said, he hath a Devil and is mad, why hear ye him?
A65659May they save their life by flight?
A65659Of what Parentage?
A65659Of what Profession?
A65659Or do you think that Religion and Learning will stand alone without any helps and encouragements?
A65659Or if thou be weak and sickly, wilt thou plead, Thy father was stout and debonaire?
A65659Our Saviour commanded them silence, that proclaimed him with a loud voice to be the Son of God, and why?

A30153A man that nameth the name of Christ, and that departeth not from iniquity; to whom may he be compared?

A30153Besides, What greater contempt can be cast upon Christ than by such wordy Professors is cast upon him?
A30153But I ask, how came nature to be so weak, but through sin?
A30153But do you think it is because of the first?
A30153But how little of this is found among men?

A30153How much hast thou be ● n grieved to see others break Gods Law, and to find temptations in thy self to do it?
A30153How sick art thou of sin?
A30153I ask again, wherein dost thou think, the blessedness of Heaven consists?
A30153I have said it, nay a thousand times, and yet it offereth it self and its deceits to me again, what would you have me do?
A30153I say wouldest thou go to Heaven, because''t is a place that''s Holy, or because''t is a place remote from the pains of Hell?

A30153Now some may say, But what shall we do to depart from iniq ● ity?
A30153Now this is a daring thing: I know their lies, saith he: and shall he no ● recompence for this?
A30153O wretched man that I am,& c. What complaints, what confessions, what bewailings of weakness is here?
A30153Or art thou like the Ostrich, whom God hath deprived of wisdom and has hardned her heart against her Young?

A30153or can that be called a justifying Faith that has not for its Fruit, good Works?
A30153or is it because the Devil and wicked men( the inventors of these vain toyes) have out- witted the law of God?

A38449have they prevailed upon us to break off our sins by Repentance, or to continue in them, and encrease them with a brisker and sturdier Resolution?
A38449have we not so great a Kindness and Zeal to the Women as they?
A38449is not the hand of God to be seen clearly in all this?
A38449shall we not at least go hand in hand, and reconcile to prayers and tears?
A38449shall we not weep together for deliverance, without upbraiding each others drops, as Hypocriticall?

A62729And is it not most natutural to us to love our dependencies, our beneficiaries, our faithful co- adjutours, our trustees and Relyances?
A62729And to perish that it may revive to a loving remembrance?
A62729And what English man was ever so lamented at a Funeral?
A62729And what can they note in it but imbecility and want of spirits?
A62729And what farther?
A62729And what if he had commanded you to burn our Temples?
A62729And what( at length) is sought by attempting?
A62729And what, replies Cyneas, after that?
A62729And whether is it better to act out of fear, or out of shame?
A62729And who but these have power to become our enemies if they prove unfaithful?
A62729And who that hath wrought his own dishonour or diminution by his folly, will add the madness to it to stab himself?
A62729And who would willingly come off a looser with a flourish of friendship?
A62729And whom doth it not revive to see alacrity in another without apparent cause?
A62729And will he add to his boisterous passion the reputation of killing, or of seeking the life of his friend?
A62729And yet could you but laugh, if you had seen That chast, though rude embraces of the Queen?
A62729Are not one and the same bowels common to them both?
A62729Are we afraid to expose our selves?
A62729As if I might not appear in publick as confidently as another?
A62729But he hath done what he can not undoe, and I have suffered what I can not wipe off, but with his blood, or the licking of his tongue?
A62729But however, it is its own reward at present, for what in this life is so sweet as favour?
A62729But in what order shall we place this Amitie?
A62729But shall we dare to oppose the Maxims of our Grandsirs?
A62729But what if he had?
A62729But what?
A62729But, what difference is there in this act and passion in a good man and a wicked?
A62729Can Heroick love, as it is accompanied with so many pangs and convulsions, be its own reward?
A62729Can I hate my self for my failings, or misfortunes, that happen to me as their punishments?
A62729Can the Sun forbear to shine, because it raiseth stench from the dunghil?
A62729Do we affect to be honoured, and not to be beloved?
A62729Do we not think strange of his profusion?
A62729Either to subside in oblivion, or a voluntary sequestration of revengeful thoughts?
A62729For if our thoughts and apprehensions were plainly one, now should there be place for advice and councel?
A62729For what is a sense of incivility, or contempt to one that is void of pride?
A62729For what is that, that I should love in such an Amity?
A62729Good Nature is void of interest, and design, Can''st thou love for love, and make that the reward?
A62729Have we not seen a gentle spirit submit his passions( for a time) and his reason too to his friend, and accounted it no vileness?
A62729How can I then love him before my self?
A62729How can this be?
A62729How incongruous is it to imagine that the thirst should be sweeter then the wine, the hunger then the choicest fare?
A62729If a beggar importune us, shame may move us, though there be no witness; and whereof, was that sense given us?
A62729If estates and interests were not distinct, how should one have to supply what the other wanted?
A62729If he joy and grieve with them, will he do''t for nothing, Or stay for asking?
A62729If it be to debase my self, being noble, to be Good Natured, is it not better to be proud?
A62729If it be to stay my advancement, being capable of obtaining it, is it not better to be ambitious?
A62729If it were not to raise our memories above the level, and to live upon the wings of favour after we are dead?
A62729If our mutual endeavours did meet one another in the same actions; how could their be accommodation?
A62729If the judgement of one lead him unto Treason by vertue, and the conduct of reason, as he supposeth, must the others too?
A62729If there be such an Amity, what shall I think of my self?
A62729In fine, what end would there be of injuries, if there were not this Good Natur''d quality to bound, and determine them?
A62729In fine, what inward monster hurried on Octavius?
A62729Is it better to be in the storm than in the bay, or to sail in a troubled sea, only that one may sail, than to gain the port of enjoyment?
A62729Is it likeness?
A62729Is it the unity that is between us?
A62729Is there any pleasure in doubts and fears?
A62729Manors without Charity?
A62729Nay, why should not I delight, or at least command my self( sometimes) to want for company?
A62729Or a Mountebank descending from his Coach, or litter to draw a tooth upon the stage?
A62729Or a little start of passion?
A62729Or a slander?
A62729Or can I but desire earnestly my own recovery, and better doing?
A62729Or curiosity of knowing before we venture?
A62729Or do we think, that to give occasion of suspicion by a sullen silence, will be the best way to procure it?
A62729Or how can I have a principle before my self, though it be to love my Creator and Redeemer?
A62729Or how do I distinguish so, as to prefer that in will and reason, which in Nature is the later?
A62729Or how weak to one that is so full of goodness, that he rather accounteth the same to have been but a negligence or omission, or inadvertency?
A62729Or if he be a stranger?
A62729Or serve an apprentiship, if he knew that that should be the best of his time?
A62729Or sloth and want of resolution?
A62729Or the Spring to flow, because the stream is dam''d?
A62729Or the earth to yield its fruit, because the husbandman permits it to rot upon the ground?
A62729Or why should we only wander in the Common, to regard the rude and undisciplin''d?
A62729Otherwise, how should enmities arise?
A62729Shall I add to these, that it is a part of the bounty of a Good Nature, that it delights in mens affections, and real inclinations?
A62729Should we be studying to be wise, when we should use our wisdom?
A62729Should we be studying to excell, where if we did excell,''t were''fit we should suspend the use, to make our selves equal?
A62729Suffer so much in Amorous wooing, and in the remedy be worser ganched then in the malady?
A62729That it thinks it not worth the while to live in this light, if there were not a mutual transmigration into one anothers breasts?
A62729The pack is discerned, and the fraud as covertly returned?
A62729The person of my friend?
A62729Though he entertain''d his friends and partizans at most prodigious charges, when did he ever stick at any of them that halted in their carriere?
A62729What account, what state do we make of our precious selves, while we make so little of our company?
A62729What bounds or limits can circumscribe a thing that is indefinite, according to the goodness of the Relatives?
A62729What can we do for a friend more, than to make him as our self, to adopt him into our bloud, and account him as con- native to us?
A62729What do we think of this?
A62729What do we think?
A62729What hath hesitancy or suspition to do amongst the freer spirits?
A62729What if it were but an escape?
A62729What love and service in the addresses of mind and body?
A62729What shall we say to all this?
A62729What should we stand to dispute, whether vertue be more from Nature, or from Discipline, since that would only be to argue in the figure of the word?
A62729What though the objects be not so accomplished as others?
A62729What though they may have their faults, or miscarriages?
A62729What were all valour, or hardiness, or skill of enterprizing, if there were not patience to endure incommodities, and expect the best seasons?
A62729What wonder if the indignation bare high, and their own tempers suffer''d violence?
A62729What would we have for a word misplaced?
A62729When Pyrrhus, King of Epire, prepared to pass into Italy, Cyneas, a Councellor in esteem with him, demands to what end he made that great preparation?
A62729When we read that Wine, and Women, and Truth are strongest, why was not time thought upon, which conquers and preys on all things?
A62729Whether more?
A62729Whether then do I love my self in Him, or him in me?
A62729While I seem to abstract from sense and pleasure, will not this ingulf me in unwary sensuality?
A62729Who but these confirm us in our doubtful states?
A62729Who but these know our secrets?
A62729Who but these relieve us in our straites?
A62729Who shall judge of it?
A62729Who will carry gold in his pocket, if it be a shame to shew it?
A62729Who would not laugh at a Spanish smith, coming with his long cloak and sword( to be put off, and laid aside in order) to shooe an horse?
A62729Who would not wish and earn for such an acquaintance, and think himself happy to have a part in one, that is( indeed) happy of himself?
A62729Who would undergoe what is necessary in love, or honour, if he knew the vanity of his ends?
A62729Why should I eat alone if I have to spare and others want?
A62729Why should I take up a great room by preoccupation, to straiten others, if I may do as well or( almost) as sweetly with a less?
A62729Why should we stand gazing at the steps and nods of Princes, if not to lead us into error, and admiration?
A62729Will it not also plunge my reason, while agreableness to my fancy is all, that is in view?
A62729Will it suffer it to be extenuated, or argued?
A62729Will revenge let the cause go out of its own hand?
A62729how doth it prefer to live in other breast, more then in its own?
A62729if not, what of these excellent persons, that have dilivered it?
A23760( for after all these things do the Gentiles seck) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things?
A237602. suppose ye that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things?
A237605. Who ask, When will the Sabbath be gone, that we may set forth wheat?
A237607. what shall then become of those multitudes of men that lye on quite other ends?
A23760A fourth end is said to be the putting away of cares; but I shall ask what those cares are?
A23760And alas, how many are there that have thus made themselves the Devils martyrs?
A23760And good reason, For he that makes no conscience thus to profane Gods name; Why shall any man beleeve, he makes any of lying?
A23760And he that ladeth himself with thick clay: shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee?
A23760And here think, how unworthy a wretch thou art to have done that, which occasioned such torments to him?
A23760And if he the Lord of glory suffered thus meekly and unjustly from his own creatures, with what force can we ever complain of any injury done to us?
A23760And if it shall now be asked, what are the particular acts of this kind which we are to perform?
A23760And of this sort is the flesh, it is an enemy, at our doors, shall I say?
A23760And what cause of that sparing, but his tender compassions towards thee, his unwillingness that thou should''st perish?
A23760And what is now left, but that it utterly sink, and we all perish?
A23760And wilt thou suffer thy Spouse, for whose sake all things were made ● hus bycontinual discords to perish, and go to wrack?
A23760And with what face can you in your greatest nee ● beg for his mercy to your Souls, when you would not as ford them your own?
A23760Are they restrained?
A23760Are ye not, much better then they?
A23760But I would ask such a one whether if that man were drinking rank poison, he would pledg him for company?
A23760But again thirdly, if he do discern his danger, yet how is he sure he shall then be able to repent?
A23760But it may perhaps here be asked, what a person that hath already brought himself into such a condition shall do?
A23760Did ever any think to befriend a man by helping to destroy his estate, his credit, his life?
A23760For first, I would ask any man, that means to repent at his death, how he knows he shall have an hours time for it?
A23760For how can he either confess his sin, that knows not his guilt of it?
A23760For how many times would it cut and burn, and mischief it self, if it might have every thing it desires?
A23760For how shall he that swears hourly, look upon an oath with any reverence and he that doth not?
A23760For who can stretch his hand against the Lords anointed, and be guilt less?
A23760How amiable are thy dwellings, O Lord of Hosts?
A23760How can ye believe, that receive honour one of another?
A23760How fearful a guilt is it then to entertain any such thoughts, as are in themselves wicked?
A23760How horrible an injustice is it then, purposely to bring that loss, and damage on him?
A23760How many of these sacramental vowes have I violated?
A23760How much does the whiteness of the Lilly, and the redness of the Rose exceed the white, and red of the fairest face?
A23760How much worse then his very crucifiers?
A23760How often have I turned my back in the day of battel?
A23760How shall one so ungodly stand in thy Judgment, or such a sinner in the Congregation of the Righteous?
A23760How vainly then do those pretend to this vertue, that are still grudging, and rep ● ning at every good hap of others?
A23760I presume there is no man would willingly undergo this from another, and why then should thou offer it to him?
A23760If I be a Master, saith God, where is my fear?
A23760If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shal reap your carnal things?
A23760Is it not a little one?
A23760Is it not a most ravishing pleasure to him that hath any bowels to see the joy, that a seasonable alms brings to a poor wretch?
A23760My Soul is a thirst for God, even for the living God, when shall I come to appear before the presence of God?
A23760Nay, indeed how can it be said they do love at all, who can contentedly let each other run on in a course that will bring them to eternal misery?
A23760Now examine thy self by this: hast thou this fruit of love to shew?
A23760O God, wherefore art thou absent from us so long?
A23760Shalt thou suffer ● e strong Captain of mischief, whom thou once overthrewest, again 〈 ◊ 〉 invade thy tents, and to spoil thy souldiers?
A23760Shalt thou ● ot turn the wicked mens evils into thy Churches good?
A23760Shalt thou ● ot with thy heavenly policy turn our folly into thy glory?
A23760Shalt thou ● ● ffer the wicked spirits, which be authors and workers of discord, 〈 ◊ 〉 bear such a swing in thy Kingdome unchecked?
A23760Suffered such torments in the pursuit of this sin, as would exceed the invention of the greatest tyrant?
A23760Therefore in that respect also, the Soul is of the greatest worth; and then what strange madnesse is it for us to neglect them as we do?
A23760WHat shall I render unto the Lord for all the benefits he hath done unto me?
A23760What could ye not watch with me one hour?
A23760What shall I render unto the Lord for all these benefits he hath done unto me?
A23760Why art thou so heavy, O my Soul, and why art thou so disquieted within me?
A23760Why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things that I say?
A23760Why is thy wrath so hot against the sheep of thy pasture?
A23760Why shouldst thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man that can not save?
A23760Will a man rob God?
A23760Woe to him that encreaseth that which is not his, how long?
A23760Yet how many of us fail even in this, how frequent is it to see men, not only neglect to repay courtesies, but return injuries in stead of them?
A23760[ Here recollect some of thy greatest sins] If thou Lord shouldst be extreme to mark what is done amiss, O Lord who may abide it?
A23760and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it?
A23760and who can tell that it shal not be his own case?
A23760and why take ye thought for rayment?
A23760be they such as should be put away?
A23760do we not daily see men snatch''d away in a moment?
A23760dost thou make it thy constant and greatest care to keep Gods Commandments?
A23760earnestly labouring to please him to the utmost of thy power, even to the forsaking of what is dearest to thee in this world?
A23760how few are there that can find gratitude, shall I say?
A23760how it revives and puts new spirits in him, that was even sinking?
A23760nay patience for such a courtesie?
A23760or how can he resolve to forsake it, that discerns not himself to have formerly cleaved to it?
A23760or how canst thou expect thy perswasions should work?
A23760to obey him in all things?
A23760what a multitude of creatures is there, that farr surpass man in strength and sweetness?
A23760what hurt is it possible for thee to do to another, which can bear any comparison with that thou doest thy self, in loosing the pardon of thy sins?
A23760which of you by taking thought can add one cubit to his stature?
A23760yet ye have robbed me; yet ye say, wherein have we robbed thee?
A19641& doth not riches ouerthrow his happinesse, if not duly ouer- watcht with Temperance?
A19641Aduexi, exposui, vendo meum non plur is quam ● ● terie fortasse etiam minoris, cum maior est copia, c ● ifit iniuria?
A19641Againe, is he beggerly, hath he no money nor meanes?
A19641Againe, is the minde and body wearied with vnreasonable care and labour?
A19641Againe, who would bend himselfe to Art, Science, Facultie, or any kinde of learning, if there were not some glory?
A19641And to what ende is this great building and cunning Architect?
A19641Are Bees bounde to gather honey for droanes?
A19641But some perhaps will say, it is my owne, and may I not do with mine owne what I will?
A19641Extreames are euer hurtfull; for if a man eate too much or too little, doth it not hurt the body?
A19641For are not their Dialogues puft vp with swelling wordes?
A19641For hath he not broken off the succession of Vertue by wilfull detraction?
A19641For is not Vice set to sale on open Theaters?
A19641For what more fitter occasion to summon all the discontented people together, then Playes?
A19641Hast thou wit, learning, and a vaine to write wickednesse?
A19641I demaund what good doest thou with that little thou hast?
A19641I knew I begat a mortall creature, and being mortall, he must needs die: who could beare such great cause of griefe without some shew of sorrow?
A19641Is not Vertue then more honorable then riches?
A19641Is there a new fashiō come out?
A19641Must not this breede contempt to them and their places, and impeach so holy a function?
A19641Neuerthelesse some will obiect they are necessarie, and fit to be allowed in pollicie: and why so?
A19641Now what aduantage then hath a rich man, that by rewards may purchase immortalitie, and outstrip the furie of Vice with good workes?
A19641Now what are all the goods of this worlde?
A19641Now what is to be found in these bookes?
A19641Now whosoeuer shall discent from this true vse, is no Poet, but a vaine babler: for what are all these scurrillous tales,& bawdie verses?
A19641Oh how odious is this vice to God and good men?
A19641Oh what goods and possessions did my friends leaue me, which are prodigally wasted?
A19641Or if they stuffe their Scene with some one good precept, or well- worded instruction, what power hath that to moue to Vertue?
A19641Perhaps thou wilt say againe, I brought him not to beggery: did I lame him?
A19641Then why seeke you to win the whole world, as though you were immortall, and should neuer dye?
A19641Thus doth might deceiue them: but A ● risacra fames quid non?
A19641What a diuine glory is heere?
A19641What can not this humpish elemēt bring to passe?
A19641What if he dye in the conflict?
A19641What should I say?
A19641What was their happines, but vnquiet& perturbations?
A19641What whoredomes, drunkennesse, swearing, and abhominable Sodomie is daily practised?
A19641When it is for a common defence, is not he a wretch that will sit still and see his mothers throate cut?
A19641Why how can I giue that( quoth he) that am but a mortall man?
A19641Wilt thou build thy safetie vpon a sure foundation?
A19641according to his owne abilitie, and the others necessitie: and when?
A19641and are they not growne odious to good men, and ill reported of?
A19641and beare the repulse of superiour rebukes, thē to part with ought shall contradict their froward nature: is this the dutie of good subiects?
A19641and cause the son to betray his owne Father?
A19641and doo they not labour in vaine cunning to infect and poison delicate youth ●?
A19641and how dooth it putrifie and contaminate body and soule, and yet how plentifully doth it raigne in most places without suppression?
A19641and made more forcible by gesture and outward action?
A19641and must I keepe life in rattes and myce, and such vermine as are bred by the infection of a plentious yeare?
A19641and shall not all prodigall spend- thrifts, that wastfully consume their wealth, be partakers of the like shame?
A19641and those vices that mustered about my young yeares, how soone might I haue supprest them?
A19641and what is all painfull and ponderous labours but a copweb?
A19641and will they not wrest and winde lawes to their owne sence, if they may saue but a penny?
A19641are not there idle Poems of carnall loue, lust, and ● nchaste arguments?
A19641are not theyr arguments pleasing and rauishing?
A19641are these indifferent to bee vsed?
A19641are they not like smoake and vapours, which vanish with the Sunne?
A19641are they not vsurers, extortioners, proud persons, and so cold in charitie, that no Christian dutie can heat their loue?
A19641brand him for a knaue, and turne him out at his gates?
A19641but then being young and foolish, am now olde and beggerly: to whom shall I communicate my griefe, that will yeeld succour?
A19641but what a commemoration is here?
A19641can a man without offence brag of the Vertues of his auncients, if his owne life be vitious?
A19641can it not couer a masse of ill humors?
A19641did I vnparell him?
A19641do these moue to Vertue with honest delight?
A19641do these seeke the peace of the state?
A19641do they not crie for vengeance to heauen?
A19641do they not defame, discredit, and reproach Vertue and honestie, by expounding Vice with large comments?
A19641do they not steale away all holy deuotion, poyson good wits, and corrupt young people?
A19641doo they not seeke to subuert and weaken the state as much as they can, by with- holding that part of dutie required by the lawe of nature?
A19641doth it not inuite and call vpon Magistrates to draw the sword of reformation?
A19641doth it not raise a man to immortalitie?
A19641for are they not full of Paganisme and ribald speeches, to stirre vp the mind to shady idlenesse?
A19641for do they not with glosing words tickle and stirre vp the affections to be conceited of some fond passion, to be more vngraciously subtill?
A19641for doo they not vse more vaine eloquence then confidence in matters of wisedome?
A19641for what moueth the Lawier to beate his wits on Littletons Maximes?
A19641how often did they seeke to reclaime me with good counsell if I had bene gracious?
A19641how ought this feast to be celebrated in magnifying the Almightie, and lauding his name for so great a benefite?
A19641if the wicked call to goe, will they not run ▪ will they not dice, carde, sweare, swagger, and be drunke?
A19641is he not now a Gentleman, and hath wherewithall to hold it vp?
A19641is not that humble reuerence of the oracles of God, hereby blasphemed, and basely scorned?
A19641is not this the way to make men ripe in all kinde of villanie, and corrupt the manners of the whole world?
A19641is this Poetrie?
A19641it is no sound argument, to dispence with one to eschew the other, and so by shunning Carribdis, fall vpon Scilla: but how shall we spend the time?
A19641nay doo they not rather stirre vp bawdrie and beastlinesse?
A19641no doubt he would be as rigorous as so leaude a prancke should deserue: why then how do they thinke to escape?

A19641or if superiours and magistrates, giue not good example in their places, how should they induce other to pietie?
A19641or spotting the soule with wickednesse, that he becommeth the very sonne of Beliall?
A19641or the Phisition to diue into the secrets of nature, if they aymed not at preferment?
A19641or to be so earnest to finde out the differences of causes, to bring them to a head, but glory?

A3391228. calls the Patrons of Chaplains their Masters; and will any Man be so hardy as to question the Judgment and Determination of the Parliament?

A33912And can we suppose that God would underfurnish Man for the State he designed him, and not afford him a Soul large enough to pursue his Happiness?
A33912And does it not plainly follow, That those who are thus sensibly Touched, must have a real Kindness for the Unfortunate?
A33912And if they may use this Expedient to please them when they have them; why may they not do it that they may please to have them?

A33912And is it not a ridiculous Vanity to value our selves upon what we borrow from Creatures below Reason and Life?
A33912And is it possible to conceive, That Goodness and Perfection can be the Parent of so unlovely an Off- spring?
A33912And since we have thus fairly distinguished our selves by Merit, why should we seem unapprehensive of our Performances?
A33912And to come nearer our Northern Ancestors; Why do n''t we vindicate our selves by Tryal Ordeal?
A33912And what a disagreable Mixture of Poverty and Riches do we see sometimes within the same Walls?
A33912And what help is there for all this?
A33912And what then?
A33912And when Things are a Satyr upon themselves, who can help it?
A33912And why should we be tied up to the Dictates of Paganism and Ignorance?
A33912And will they account any Person infamous for the Regularity of his Behaviour?
A33912And will you venture your All upon a Cause which would be Hissed out of all the Courts of England as ridiculous?
A33912Are Law and Justice such Phantoms, that a Spanish Rhodomontade should make them vanish?
A33912Are not you a Man, Philotimus?
A33912Are such Pedants and Mechanicks as these, fit to give Rules to Men of Honour?
A33912As how?
A33912As how?
A33912Bath our Innocence in Scalding Water, and hop over heated Plough- shares Blindfold?
A33912Bishops or Presbyters we know, and Deacons we know, but what are Chaplains?
A33912But I beseech you what is all this to the business of Pride?
A33912But by the way, I thought you laid somewhat of an Accent upon their Habit; were they too Fine for you?
A33912But can we receive no other Advantages from Nobility, but what have been hinted already?
A33912But for all that, I do n''t like a Man that can hate at first Sight, and kill Extempore?
A33912But if they should happen to take too much upon them, are the People to slight them upon this account?
A33912But suppose they were, what then?
A33912But what do you think of Magistrates?
A33912But what needs all this Scruple?
A33912But will this Notion spread wide enough to do any Execution?
A33912By their Habit and Equipage they seem to be Persons of Condition, and therefore you know the Appointment must be well remembred?
A33912Can you go on?
A33912Do n''t a Corporation choose a Mayor?
A33912Do you think a Parcel of starched Lawyers, with a Iury of Haberdashers, and Chandlers, are proper Judges in the Case?
A33912Do you think it so impracticable an Absurdity to wish all People well, and endeavour to make them so?
A33912Do you think then this Custom is so absolutely forbidden by Religion?
A33912Do you think then, they are not capable of Regulation?
A33912For can there be a more extraordinary instance of Greatness, than for a Man to be undismayed amidst so many horrible Instruments and Images of Death?
A33912For how can you imagine any persons should emerge out of the common Mass of Mankind, unless by the advantages of Capacity, Labour, and Resolution?
A33912For not breaking those Laws which they either made, or approved themselves?
A33912For why should I think my self wiser than the Majority of Mankind?
A33912Had not a Man better have a black Eye, than a Napkin drawn through him; and Bleed rather at the Nose than at the Heart?
A33912Has the Curate his Authority to Preach, and Administer the Sacraments from the Rector?
A33912How can we better demonstrate the reality of our Affections to a Friend, than by rejoycing at his Prosperity?
A33912How eagerly did they dispute, and not without probability on both sides: Whether there was any thing certain?
A33912How fast does Obscurity, Flatness and Impertinency slow in upon our Meditations?
A33912How many Summum Bonums have they presented us with, some of them only fit to entertain a Brute, others noble enough for a Spirit of the highest Order?
A33912How much Wiser, and Easier, and Richer, might they make their Inferiours?
A33912How must they spend their Estates, they can not Eat and Drink them all?
A33912How often are Relations neglected, Tradesmen unpaid, and Servants stinted to mortifying Allowances for the Support of this Vanity?
A33912How patched and ununiform does it make the Figure of some Families?
A33912How shall we know when we over- rate our selves?
A33912How so?
A33912How so?
A33912How so?
A33912How so?
A33912How unlike a Benefactor does he look who sets an Excise upon his bare Word, and clogs the expectation of future Advantage with present Inconvenience?
A33912How would it raise a declining Interest to its former Height, and with what Advantage convey their Memories to Posterity?
A33912How?
A33912If Authority may be slighted in an Instance of so high a Nature, why not in a hundred?
A33912If a Man should leap a Garret, or vault down the Monument, do you imagine he would leave the Memory of a Hero behind him?
A33912If an Emperour throws out an unweigh''d Sentence, must we be governed by it?
A33912If there must be Disputes, is not Squabling less inconvenient than Murther?
A33912If we have sown unto you Spiritual things, is it a great thing, if we shall reap your carnal things?
A33912In short, either he is qualified to undertake the Parish or not; if not, with what sincerity can he be employed?
A33912In the next place I desire to know whether Authority is not essential to a Master?
A33912Is Weakness a proper Foundation to erect our lofty conceits upon?
A33912Is it nothing then for a Man''s Ancestors to have lived in Reputation, and to have had Interest and Command in their Country for so many Generations?
A33912Is not such a Sedateness a Sign of Neglect, and Stoical Indifference?
A33912Is not that Family substantially Built which can stand the shock of Time, and hold out against all varieties of Accidents?
A33912Is this all you can afford?
A33912May not a Master turn away his Servants when he pleases?
A33912May pay a Respect, call you it?
A33912No less than a Satyr upon your whole Kind?
A33912Now do you imagine the Church can be defended against her Adversaries by the strength of a single Parsonage?
A33912Now what has England to do with Germany?
A33912Now where the Condition of the Disobliged is equal, at least to the Degree of Gentlemen; why should the Affront be counted so mortal an Injury?
A33912Of what Clergy?
A33912Or for a Man of Learning to make Harangues upon his own Parts and Performances, and tell the Company how ignorant they are in respect of him?
A33912Or must a Foreign Prince''s Humour command farther than his Legal Authority?
A33912PHilalethes, I am glad to see you, though you are so wrapt up in Speculation that I scarce knew you at first sight; pray why so thoughtful?
A33912PHilalethes, I''m glad to meet you again; Where have you been this long time?
A33912Pray are not Descents and Inheritances governed by Law?
A33912Pray by your favour are not Meddals, and Coyns valued more for their Antiquity than their Metal?
A33912Pray how did the Court behave themselves upon this Accident?
A33912Pray if it be not too free a Question, what were you musing upon?
A33912Pray what allowance would you oblige the Rector to, if you had the Regulation of that Affair?
A33912Pray what are we to do next?
A33912Pray what do you think of Nobility raised by Arms?
A33912Pray what do you think of private Quality?
A33912Pray what do you think of the Artificial Improvement, is not a rich Dress an Addition to the Wearer upon this Account?
A33912Pray what may your Business be, for you do n''t use to break your Sleep for Trifles?
A33912Pray what rising Doctrine have I laid down?
A33912Pray who are supposed to be the best Judges of Learning, those who have it or others?
A33912Pray who s''s Servant is he after his Election?
A33912Pray why so much concerned to prove Curates no Servants?
A33912Quis custodiet ipsos Custodes?
A33912Say you so?
A33912Say you so?
A33912Since therefore you insist so much upon maintnance, what if it appears that the Curate maintains the Parson?
A33912That he should give him Solitary Principles, and yet intend him for publick Converse?
A33912That the over- flowing Generousness of the Divine Nature, would create immortal Beings with mean or envious Principles?
A33912That would be a little Fulsom I confess; But is the Case the same?
A33912The Rays of good Fortune from all diversities of Points ▪ concenter in his Benevolence, and excite an intense and multiplied Pleasure?
A33912The Reason of your censure?
A33912Then if the Curate does all the work, ought he not to have the reward for his pains?
A33912Then if they seem to undervalue it themselves, is not this the way to bring it into a general disrepute?
A33912Then ought not he to have the Revenues who performs these Duties?
A33912Those who live many miles distant from the Premises?
A33912To expose his person as freely as if he knew himself immortal, and to fear nothing but Obscurity and Disgrace?
A33912To my thinking you have not cleared the Point; For why may we not insist upon the privileges of Nature?
A33912To what end were the Church Revenues intended?
A33912WHether so fast this Morning, methinks you are somewhat earlier than usual?
A33912Well, but does not the Parson make choice of him, and pay him?
A33912Well; What though our Minds were poor, and unfurnished at first, is it any disparagement to us to have more Wit than we were born with?
A33912What Claim can we make to Privilege or Property without it?
A33912What Profession do you mean?
A33912What Provision do you mean?
A33912What Records can you produce?
A33912What Tenure?
A33912What a broad Innuendo is here upon the beneficed Clergy?
A33912What are the usual steps to Honour?
A33912What can the Raillery, the Reproaches, the supercilious Censures of this Sect signifie?
A33912What do you mean?
A33912What do you mean?
A33912What do you say to the fear of receiving Harm, and the hopes of Assistance?
A33912What do you think of those below the Gentry, ought they not to be somewhat Frugal, and Unpretending in their Appearance?
A33912What if I understood the Practice as little as you do?
A33912What if a man has not a mind to quarrel, must he be turn''d out of his Dignity for being of a peaceable Disposition?
A33912What if the Gentility was purchased, I hope we may make the best of what we have paid for?
A33912What if the under Sort of People should take the Hint, and practice upon it, in the Instance of Property?
A33912What if they are disabled by age?
A33912What in your apprehension is a Curate''s Employment?
A33912What is it that fastens this Soder, and links these first Principles of Bodies into a Chain?
A33912What is that which they call the Mystery of Trade?
A33912What is that?
A33912What is that?
A33912What is that?
A33912What is that?
A33912What of all Perswasions, Countries, Tempers, and Conditions, whatsoever?
A33912What pretences are those?
A33912What then?
A33912What then?
A33912What then?
A33912What tho some People are unlucky, ought their misfortunes to be pleaded to the prejudice of Desert in others?
A33912What though we ca n''t strike out a Science at a Heat, but are forced to polish our selves by degrees, and to work hard for what we have?
A33912What was that?
A33912What would you have me complain to a Magistrate when a Man gives me the Lye, or any such sort of Affront?
A33912What''s that?
A33912What, because a Lord of a Mannour has not always a Commission, must he be allowed no better Cloaths than a Cottager?
A33912When a Woman of Fortune marries a Man with nothing, does she not give him Meat, Drink, and Wages to govern her?
A33912Whether the Criterions of Truth and Falshood were clear and indubitable or not?
A33912Whether the Government of the World was casual, fatal, or providential?
A33912Which way?
A33912Which way?
A33912Who doubts of their being Servants?
A33912Who questions it?
A33912Who would expect such Flights of Conceit from so humble Pretences?
A33912Why may not the same little Charm be practised to Begin, as well as to Entertain the Relation?
A33912Why should I enquire so anxiously how my Ancestors came by their Estate?
A33912Why should They be raised above their Principle, and rated higher than their own Valuation?
A33912Why should a fine Woman be so prodigal of her Beauty, make strip and waste of her Complexion, and squander away her Face for nothing?
A33912Why should we be more Slaves to the Goverment than others, I''m sure we do not get so much by it?
A33912Why so Tragical?
A33912Why so?
A33912Why so?
A33912Why, is it not of kin to Treason to say the Subjects are Masters over the Supreme Authority?
A33912Will this Disposition do us any farther Service?
A33912Will you take away a Man''s Life upon a Provocation for which no Government will allow you Six- penny worth of Damages?
A33912Would it not look odly in a Souldier to give in a History of his Valour and Conduct in Conversation?
A33912Would you have a Man a Stock, must he not be sensible of ill Usage?
A33912You are going to describe Alexander or Cesar; do you think that every Field, or Charge in Gules, can pretend to all these fine things?
A33912Your Reason?
A36902''T is much it should be so: But what is''t they expect?
A36902A Bargain Father: Of what, pray let us understand a little?
A36902A Catch- pole?
A36902A Iew say you was he that first Invented the Taleys, and brought''em acquainted with Usery and Extortion?
A36902A Letter or so perhaps about Mer ● handize?
A36902A very fine Trade, and is this your profession?
A36902A ● d have you 〈 … 〉 Randevous?
A36902Alas Sir, you talk of strange matters: what are there any Ghost?
A36902And are the Villagers kind to such a strooling Tribe?
A36902And can you tell us where to find them, now you know their Names?
A36902And did this satisfie their Relations?
A36902And did you take it on you?
A36902And did your Conscience sleep the while?
A36902And do you think it was but acted, 〈 ◊ 〉 not real; can you be so impartial?
A36902And does not one good turn deserve another?
A36902And how came you off in that case?
A36902And is it nothing so?
A36902And is so great a Wisdom your''s?
A36902And is this fair?
A36902And is this in your power?
A36902And may be so till this time Fortnight for ought I know; but pray who are they?
A36902And may not that be safely done?
A36902And must I rest upon that: 〈 ◊ 〉 if I ca n''t believe you?
A36902And no where else?
A36902And ought to be relieved, ought they not?
A36902And pray did you hear how he entertained them?
A36902And suppose I had both, what then?
A36902And therefore you are going to inhabit the Mountain of Fond- imagination?
A36902And they returned upon this, di ● they not?
A36902And this pleased you not?
A36902And to what purpose serve these?
A36902And was you never call''d to give account for this, was no notice taken on''t?
A36902And what is it you further intend in this new undertaking?
A36902And what succeeded this disorder?
A36902And what then Sir, may not I be a Plain- dealer for all that?
A36902And what''s your business with him 〈 ◊ 〉?
A36902And where was you Born, remember you the place of your Nativity?
A36902And where was your Conscience all this while?
A36902And you''l do''t, if it be in your power?
A36902Are they Men or Women?
A36902Are they so hard to be found then?
A36902Are you acquainted in these parts?
A36902Are you acquainted with him, is he your Neighbour?
A36902Are you known in these parts Sir?
A36902Are you of this World, or that beneath us, that you came crawling out of the Ground like an Insect?
A36902Art is indeed to be admir''d by all, But who are they the Sons of Art we call?
A36902As how, let us hear a little?
A36902As how, let''s hear a little?
A36902As how, pray let me understand?
A36902As how: Pray by what means could it be done?
A36902Ay Sir, but what will People say, when they perceive the Storm of grief I raised so soon blown over?
A36902Ay doubtless: I think you say you are a Gentleman and a great Schollar?
A36902Ay marry did I, and since I have crept up amain; but what is''t you drink Gentlemen, I hope you do n''t come to trouble my House for nothing?
A36902Ay, Honesty and Plain- dealing, do you know them Sir?
A36902Ay, I think I am: But what 〈 ◊ 〉 that pray?
A36902Ay, ay, you say very right: But can you think it?
A36902Be intelligable; ay, ay, and what is it you''d have me intelligence about?
A36902But Gentlemen, did you see me creep out of my Cave?
A36902But Sir, to let that pass, do you know one Goodman Honesty and his Brother Plain- dealing in these parts, are they any of your Tribe pray?
A36902But again have you not heard of''em?
A36902But are they not often Intercepted in the course of such deceiving?
A36902But did not Conscience check you ● eitterating those inhumane Practices?
A36902But for what pray, what is the m ● aning of all this bluster?
A36902But how came you at first to divorce her?
A36902But how came you to the Fingering on them?
A36902But met you with none that were rough and untractable?
A36902But perhaps you might find them Travelling on the Road or so?
A36902But prethee what Answer did you make her?
A36902But some perhaps would not swallow this Bait?
A36902But their Names Sir, have you not their Names?
A36902But think you that security will always last?
A36902But to what Resolution came you next?
A36902But what are they pray?
A36902But what insued?
A36902But wo n''t you hear Reason?
A36902Can you Conjure Friend?
A36902Come blush 〈 ◊ 〉 thus, nor turn away your lovely Face; 〈 ◊ 〉, shall it be the next?
A36902Come, come, let me whisper you the Ear: You shall go half snacks with me the business, that I hope will please you?
A36902Dare you be thus impertinent to me?
A36902Dec, What can it do less?
A36902Did you know them friend?
A36902Diveing, for what?
A36902Do they use to ● requent this Road?
A36902Do you remember them?
A36902Do you think any harm on them?
A36902Friend how far are you Travelling this way?
A36902Friend know you Honesty and Plain- dealing, have you made any Garments for''em of late?
A36902Friend whether are you Travelling?
A36902Friend why are you thus inraged, what have I done, thus to incurr your anger?
A36902Friend, are you acquainted in these parts?
A36902Friend, how comes it that you Travel with such a Burthen?
A36902Friend, how far came you, that you are thus disordered with heat?
A36902Friend, how goes preferment in the World?
A36902Games, was you for Gameing too?
A36902Halo, said Discovery, why so agast prethee?
A36902Has Plain- dealing nothing neither to do in your profession?
A36902Have you a Habitation in these parts, or are you of some remoater part of the World?
A36902Have you not heard of him of late?
A36902Have you 〈 … 〉 progress Honesty and Plain- 〈 … 〉 after?
A36902Hey day, and what do you infer from all this?
A36902Honesty and Plain- dealing say you?
A36902How Courted when so old and withered: But pray Sir by which Sex is it ye are Courted?
A36902How Sir, is not Honesty your Brother?
A36902How Trades- men, and stand at defiance with Honesty and Plain Dealing?
A36902How are they Ruin''d then?
A36902How do you Laugh Gentlemen?
A36902How, the Garments of Charity; why she has gone Naked this many a day: and how then should I come by her Garments, pray tell me that?
A36902How, upon my Heart: Why how can I come at them to read them then?
A36902I believe so, for you somewhat resemble him: But pray what is your business in this World?
A36902If you know nothing of that, how can you inform us where to find them?
A36902In the first place, Sir what street do you call this, for I''m a stranger in this place?
A36902In what manner Dive you, as Plundging into the Water, or so?
A36902Is Plain- dealing none of your Guest neither?
A36902It may be I do, or it may be I do not: But what is your business with me now I am found?
A36902It may be so, but ca n''t I inquire?
A36902Knew they that you were 〈 … 〉 the Streets, and tread the paths of wickedness?
A36902Know you not there is a Tophet hot as Eternal Wrath can make it?
A36902Make Almanacks, that''s pritty: But pray what is''t you infer from thence?
A36902Manus and Domus, pray Sir what 〈 ◊ 〉 they signifie?
A36902More is the pitty: But now you talk of business in the World, have you ever met with Honesty and Plain- dealing in your Travels?
A36902My business is to find out Honesty and Plain- dealing: Can you direct me to their house Friend?
A36902Nay Sir, what is''t you ● ean?
A36902Nay, nay, reason me no reason, practice is practice: but why do I thus spend my Breath without a fee?
A36902No Sir, we are all Masters, or at least all Good men: Why I hope you do n''t take this for a Country Village?
A36902No matter which if you know them: do you know them?
A36902No verily, I believe not: But have you been in no other Road than this?
A36902Now you have underfelt me, I hope you take me for a Schollar do n''t you?
A36902O part us not?
A36902Perhaps they may Sojourn here about for a night or two?
A36902Pish, for an Estate, who would 〈 ◊ 〉 take pains?
A36902Policy indeed goes a great way, but Sir, can you direct me how I may find one Goodman Honesty in these parts?
A36902Pray have you heard of late where Honesty and Plain- dealing have taken up their quarters?
A36902Pray what 〈 ◊ 〉 ● our business be in the World?
A36902Pray you Sir what make you stand at this distance?
A36902Right, but now you talk of Charity, prethee what''s become on her, since we gave her such sharp answers as made her despair of doing any good with us?
A36902Self- c. Ay marry am I: Pray Sir do you question it?
A36902Self- c. Ay, ah, how can they do otherwise?
A36902Self- c. Ay, ay, Manus and Domus, that''s their construction; what construction would you have them have?
A36902Self- c. How silly you are, what do they signifie: Why they signifie Manus and Domus, what would you have them signifie else?
A36902Self- c. What do you laugh Sir?
A36902Sir does this place call you Master, know you all your Neighbours here about?
A36902Sir, who are you that are thus made up of redicule?
A36902That was unkindly done, but prethee 〈 ◊ 〉 did''st compass it?
A36902That''s strange in one arrived at your Maturity: What may your business be it''h World, that you should be so ignorant?
A36902That''s strange: But pray will you give a body an insight into this business, that has nothing to do with Honesty and Plain- dealing?
A36902The day for what — pray what day, 〈 ◊ 〉 day is it you''d have me set?
A36902Then pray Sir ● ell me the Names of the Party''s I''m searching after, and whether I shall find them or not?
A36902Then you are not the Son of Honesty, but a meer Pretender, the same I took you for at first?
A36902Then you deceive''em?
A36902Then you have no business with those 〈 … 〉?
A36902Then you have none it seems?
A36902Then you know not the men we inquire for, you are not acquainted with them?
A36902These are to let you know that I am sent to you from Wisdom the Queen of Vertues, to import many things to you; know you her Seal Sir?
A36902This is very pretty: but have they 〈 ◊ 〉 construction?
A36902This still increases my wonder?
A36902This was something barbarous?
A36902To both I answer in the affirmative, but pray Sir why inquire you?
A36902Truly I have heard something of him in my time, pray what should he be, a House- keeper or an Inn- mate, or what Country man is he?
A36902Unless you mean my Oven Sir, I understand you not, a Tophet said he, that''s a ● ramp word; what of that, is it a place to Bake Loaves in?
A36902Very fine Sir, But are you acquainted with Plain- Dealing and his Brother Honesty?
A36902Very fine; and you admire your self 〈 ◊ 〉 I suppose?
A36902Very good, and this folly is predominant?
A36902Was Conscience sawcy?
A36902Well I have a strugling in Breast?
A36902Well met Sir, pray why in so much hast?
A36902What dos he talk Scripture to us?
A36902What madding Fools, does Ielozie make men?
A36902What may your Profession be Father?
A36902What shall I do?
A36902What then, pray how managed you 〈 ◊ 〉 after game?
A36902What won you say Haunestay and Pla ● ●-Daulin, thoat''s whaint?
A36902Whay waud whoo knaw?
A36902Where is your Brother?
A36902Who am I Sir?
A36902Who are you Sir, that ask me such a question?
A36902Who are you Sirrah, that dare be so sawcy to demand such a question?
A36902Why are there a great many possessions vacant?
A36902Why are you thus disturbed Friend, is our presence so Offensive?

A67866& c. Againe, Whither will he go, that we shall not finde him?
A67866Againe, Art thou loosed from a wife?
A67866Also when Iobs wife said to her husband: Doest thou abide in thy integritie?
A67866And did not he make one?
A67866And finally, doth he not giue a cleane contrary commandement to that wicked custome of diuorcement, and marrying of others?
A67866And how can we possibly deuise to violate and breake this commandement more contumeliously, then to yoke our selues in marriage with the vnfaithfull?
A67866And how cometh this to passe, that the parents owne dung is cast in their faces by their owne children, in mocking and despising of them?
A67866And is it not a token of great hatred, to be a meanes of anothers destruction?
A67866And must not that worthy Captaine of an hundred Italian souldiers, needs haue a greater familie then many of these that cauill at this doctrine?
A67866And shall not her husbands children make her kind& louing vnto them, when they call and speake vnto her, by the louing and sweete name of Mother?
A67866And what company or loue shall a man looke to haue of him that loueth not his wife?
A67866And what other thing is indeed a marriage Contract, but this?

A67866And why should we be loth to depart from the seruice of them that haue no care to serue God?
A67866And yet reason with these and such like men, for the euill education of their children, and they will answer: Do not we as much as is of vs required?
A67866As Elkanah did not loue his wife lesse for her barrennesse, but said: Am not I better vnto thee then tenne sonnes?
A67866As also, how can they forbid that in their children, which they themselues do commit?
A67866But after what maner must they require these duties?
A67866But are none else meete for marriage?
A67866But had not Iacob wicked children, and Dauid vngodly sonnes?
A67866But how do they marry in the Lord, who marry the Lords enemies?
A67866But how is she meete, if the husband be a Christian and sh e a Papist?
A67866But how must it be followed?
A67866But how?
A67866But might it not be a greater discomfort for them, euen in their life time, to see them go to hell for want of instruction?
A67866But some vnaduisedly and foolishly do reason saying; what need is it for noble and rich mens children to haue learning?

A67866But what will some be readie to answer in this case?

A67866Doth a King trample on his crowne?
A67866Doth he maruell, that his children and seruants feare not him, whereas he himselfe feareth not the Lord?
A67866Doth he not call them to the first institution, when God made but one, and that because he would haue a godly seede, and not an adulterous generation?
A67866Doth he not further say, that in putting away the wife, they did nothing else but couer iniury, vnder pretence of his law, as with a garment?
A67866For doth not the Prophet plainly say, that God is witnesse, that they haue transgressed against the wife of their youth and couenant?
A67866For how can they do duties vnto men, if they haue not learned to do duties vnto God, and so of conscience for Gods sake, to do duties vnto men?
A67866For if their consent be necessarie at their coming in, why should they go out without their consent?
A67866For the pride of all nations, and the follies of all countries are vpon vs, how should we long beare them?
A67866For what else should the Lord grace them with such large priuiledges, and punish the breach therof with seuere punishment?
A67866For what is more vnmeete, then for an old person to promise to be contracted to a young one?
A67866For what was the originall of their enuie and crueltie executed against their brother Ioseph?
A67866For who can be a nearer neighbour for the children to loue, then their parents?
A67866For who should teach and informe the childe, but they which haue the gouernment and commanding of him?
A67866For will God be where he may not rule, but must be an vnderling, and stand and looke on, when profit and pleasure shall be serued, and aloft?
A67866For, from whence commeth this disguised and monstrous apparell, but from wanton and dissolute education of youth?
A67866Hath the maister no longer time to tarry, and haue his seruants time to tarry so long after him?
A67866He that hath made me in the wombe, hath he not made him?
A67866How art thou fallen from heauen, ô Lucifer, sonne of the morning?
A67866How can they correct them for the faults which they themselues vse?
A67866How much lesse then ought men to eate and drinke of that for which their seruants do venter the liues of their soules?
A67866How much rather ought they to put this in practise, who by the bond of marriage are made one flesh?
A67866How shall they be reconciled vnto God, but by hearing his messengers, into whose mouthes he hath put the word of reconciliation?
A67866How shall they belieue, and so be begotten againe, by the seede of the word, except they heare such as God sendeth, for the begetting of men vnto him?
A67866How shall they grow in faith, and increase in grace, but by receiuing with meeknesse the ingrafted word, which is able to saue their soules?
A67866How sweete is the name of friendship?
A67866How therefore can parents excuse themselues, when their children remaine vntaught in those things that concerne the glory of God and life euerlasting?
A67866If God should measure out his goodnesse to thee, as thou measurest honour and glory to him, in what a case wert thou?
A67866If I had oppressed others, how should I haue escaped Gods iudgement?)
A67866If adulterie may separate marriage, shall not idolatr y hinder marriage, which is worse then it?
A67866If this were not so, how could the parties keepe the commandements of God, giuing them direction whom to marrie?
A67866If we shall make an account for idle words, what shall we do for idle hands, for idle feete, for idle body, for idle soule?
A67866Is it not much more to be tilled, because it is onely one?
A67866Is not this he?
A67866Is there no time to shew our duty towards men, but euen then when we are about Gods seruice?
A67866Is this deuotion becomming Gods house?
A67866Is this religion?
A67866Nay, what shall we do more for them then for the bruite beasts and cattell that worke vnder vs?
A67866Now when thou shalt see such sinnes to be in thy children, enter into thine owne heart, examine thy selfe whether they are not come from thee?

A02520wherein had he been a thiefe, if he had not both wo nt, and meant to lurch out of the common Treasury?
A02520whither doe our restlesse desires carry us, unlesse grace and wiser thoughts pineon their wings?
A02520why am I more bound to God for giving me wine then water, many dishes then one, better then worse?
A02520why art thou not as well displeased that thou must be old?
A02520why did he bow downe his head but to invite thee?
A02520why did he stretch forth his blessed hands upon the crosse, but to receive thee?
A02520why hath he treasured up such orient and pleasing colours in graines and fishes, if not for the use and behoofe of man?
A02520why vvas his precious side opened, but that he might take thee into his heart?
A02520will it come the later for thy feare?
A02520● Nunquid Ovis Lupum persequitur?
A43583''t is said, that Hezekiah wept sore: Why so?
A43583Affliction is Gods Physick, which makes sick, but prepares for sweet health; and shall we frustrate Gods ends in this also?
A43583Ah, Sirs, what think you?
A43583Alas what have any of us, but what we have received?
A43583Alas, Sirs, is Eternity nothing with you?
A43583Alas, what Merit, either of congruity or condignity, can there be in Man to obtain Heaven?
A43583Alas, what is Heaven to us unless we be fit for it?
A43583Alas, what loveliness could God see or foresee in us to make us Children, then heirs of God, joynt- heirs with Christ?
A43583Alas, what should a Fool do with a great Estate?
A43583Alas, will you trust the Fiend of Hell to bring you to Heaven?
A43583Am I an adopted child of God?
A43583Am I converted to God, and brought through the pangs of regeneration?
A43583Am I justified?
A43583And are not they fools that trust these, and will not try by the word what they affirm?
A43583And are these think you, fit for this Heavenly imployment to all Eternity?
A43583And are you content to do so in temporals?
A43583And are you not certain whether you do enter by death into eternal happiness or misery, and yet can you be quiet?
A43583And can we have that comfort and confidence in meeting the Bridegroom of our Souls as is fit?
A43583And can we think God will carry them to Heaven that never struck a right stroke, or never did one hours work for God, that he would accept?
A43583And can you think to escape the strict tryal of the omniscient God?
A43583And have not such dayes and duties been solemn heart- melting opportunities?
A43583And have you solemnly and faithfully tryed your title to Heaven?
A43583And have you the Spirit of his Son in your hearts to cry Abba Father?
A43583And if God glorifie his Justice in thy confusion, thy mouth is stopped, and thou must justifie him for ever with flames about thine Eares?
A43583And if thou be conscious of giving them just occasion, thou confessest thy fault and humblest thy self to them?
A43583And if you feel unruly motions, can you pray them down, and through grace calm them?
A43583And indeed to what purpose should they or we live, when our work is done?
A43583And is not every Mercy sweetened by thankfulness?
A43583And is not thankfulness a natural duty?
A43583And must he falsifie his word to gratifie you?
A43583And the Haven to the weather- beaten Mariner?
A43583And this thou canst truly say, that God is more thy exceeding joy, and Christ more precious to thy Soul then ever?
A43583And thou canst not be quiet till thou seekest Reconciliation?
A43583And what bold intruder art thou, that darest expect to claim such an Inheritance as Heaven without the relation of a Son?
A43583And will you madly venture your immortal Souls on such grounds as you dare not try?
A43583Are Heaven and Hell bug- bears, or meer imaginations of brain- sick fools?
A43583Are not thy affections more spiritualized towards dearest Relations?
A43583Are not your hearts treacherous?
A43583Are we not ashamed of our loytering and lagging behind?
A43583Are you for Heaven or Hell?
A43583Are you not more endeared to Saints as Saints, though poor, or disobliging, and of a different perswasion?
A43583Art thou a child of God or a child of the Devil?
A43583Art thou not more glad when corruptions are mortified then gratified?
A43583Art thou not more taken up with Gods Mercies, to give him the glory of them, then any personal content thou hast in them?
A43583Besides, I stand upon habitual meetness chiefly: What art thou man in point of state?
A43583But I said, how shall I put thee among the Children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of Nations?
A43583But how come they by this high Honour?
A43583But if there be no such change,( as I doubt there is not) how can I be quiet?
A43583But is this a making meet for Heaven or Hell?
A43583But was not dying upon the Cross for the sins of Men a principal piece of Christs work?
A43583But what are we better unless we be partners of this priviledge?
A43583But what is the marrow and main design of this Gospel- revelation?
A43583But what proportion can the best Services of the best Men bear to this Eternal Reward?
A43583But you will say, is none meet for Heaven but such as have assurance?
A43583Can I follow the Rules and prescriptions that my Lord hath laid down; To deny my self, take up his Cross and follow him?
A43583Can rational persons think to escape the ditch by winking?
A43583Can the sin- revenging God and the guilty sinner hold intimate correspondence till they be reconciled?
A43583Can these poor fig- leaves of temporary Righteousness secure you from divine Vengeance?
A43583Can you be content to stand by that another day, that you dare not put to the tryal here?
A43583Can you charm a Beast with Musick?
A43583Can you imagine God will deface or lay aside his immaculate Holiness, to take you from the Swine- sty into his holy Sanctuary?
A43583Can you imagine that our Lord Jesus( who is the door- keeper keeper of Heaven) will admit any but those that he saith he will entertain?
A43583Can you not sink your selves low enough?
A43583Can you think to wrest Heaven out of Gods hands whether he will or not?
A43583Canst thou not more rejoyce in the gifts, graces, holiness, usefulness of others, though it obscure thine?
A43583Committing all to God, thou findest provisions have been strangely made?
A43583Consider sinner, whose word shall stand?
A43583Dare you so directly contradict our blessed Saviour, and give him the lye?
A43583Dearly Beloved, A Desire after Happiness is so ingraven in the Nature of Man, that it was never put to the debate, whether he would be happy or no?
A43583Death it self is the day break of eternal brightness to the Child of God; and is not this worth thanking God for?
A43583Discriminating kindnesses call for the greatest gratitude: What did God see in any of us that might procure for us Heaven?
A43583Do not publick concerns of Church or Nation lye nearer thy heart daily?
A43583Do not your hearts eccho back, with your[ probatum est] setting your seal to these things?
A43583Do those graces within me answer the characters of such in the Scriptures?
A43583Do we not bring dishonour to God, and discredit to our Religion by our backwardness?
A43583Do you fill up every vacancy with some useful business for Earth or Heaven?
A43583Do you not daily depend on God for new Mercies?
A43583Do you not more concern your selves for the Souls of Relations and others in Prayer and Discourse?
A43583Do you spend your time better then formerly?
A43583Do you think such dirty dogs shall ever trample on this golden pavement?
A43583Do you think there is such a thing as a groundless presumption, or rotten hope that will give up the ghost?
A43583Dost thou not account thy self the greatest of Sinners, least of Saints, and by the grace of God thou art what thou art?
A43583Dost thou not delight now in what thou didst disdain?
A43583Dost thou not love them in the Lord, and the Lord in them, and canst freely part with them upon Gods call?
A43583Dost thou not more sensibly understand the sweet life of faith in temporals?
A43583Doth my Soul eccho to the experiences of Saints in the word of God?
A43583Doth not our slavish fear of death shew thee?
A43583Doth not the sense of divine love extort from you more tears of godly sorrow, and more vehement hatred of all sin, purely it is offensive to God?
A43583Drawing out bowels of compassion for and to such as are fallen?
A43583Give diligence to make your Calling and Election sure: And what then?
A43583God is merciful, but he is also just; Christ dyed for sinners, but do you imagine all shall be saved by him?
A43583Gods or thine?
A43583Hast thou not changed thy company, courses, manner of life?
A43583Hast thou not experienced a change from Nature to Grace, from Death to Life?
A43583Hast thou not learned more faithfully and discreetly to manage the duty of private admonition of an offending Christian?
A43583Hast thou not seen thy woful state by Nature?
A43583Hast thou not the things that accompany Salvation?
A43583Hast thou that renovation that necessarily accompanies Salvation?
A43583Hath Christ come into the world to no purpose?
A43583Hath he not told us in his infallible word who shall be saved, and who shall be damned; and will you believe God or your own self deluding hearts?
A43583Hath not God been dealing with thy heart, as he useth to deal with such as he designs for Heaven?
A43583Hath not God helpt you to be dispatching your work off your hands, Spiritual, Temporal, Relative and Publick?
A43583Hath not this new birth cost thee griefs and groans, prayers and tears?
A43583Hath not your Faith been more vigorous in its actings upon your dear Lord?
A43583Have I made a covenant with God, and taken God for my God, and given my self to him?
A43583Have I the essential characters of a Christian?
A43583Have not many young ones and others out- stript us, and are got to Heaven, that set out after us?
A43583Have they a good Title to it?
A43583Have we any greater matters to mind?
A43583Have you not been more constant and inlarged in the duty of secret Prayer, with shorter intermissions and more favouriness?
A43583Have you not been more frequent and serious in renewing your Covenant with God?
A43583Have you not got power over your Passions, to regulate them?
A43583Have you not more incomes of grace and assistance in duties both as to matter and manner?
A43583Have you not taken all for granted without a serious proving of your state, meerly because you would have it so?
A43583How can they dispatch their work, that never begun it to purpose?
A43583How can they evidence a title to Heaven that have none?
A43583How can you own God in the next strait, that are so much in arrears?
A43583How do men thankfully celebrate Christs Nativity?
A43583How is it that thou wilt manifest thy self to us, and not unto the world?
A43583How is that?
A43583How is that?
A43583How long Lord, shall my Soul be at a distance from thee?
A43583How sweet is home to the weary Traveller?
A43583How uncertain about our Title to this Inheritance?
A43583I Answer, in general it must be supposed that you have a title, which is your habitual meetness, or else how can you be assured of it?
A43583I may find rest?
A43583If I be, when or how did my Soul pass through the pangs of the new birth?
A43583If I should come to you one by one, and pose you with this solemn question, Friends whither bound?
A43583If drink be so refreshing to the thirsty soul, oh how sweet are those rivers of pleasures?
A43583If it be so pleasant for the Eyes to behold the Sun, how amiable is the Son of Righteousness?
A43583If it be uncomfortable to us, it will be unprofitable to you?
A43583If thou think any body is offended by thee, is it not more a real trouble to thee then formerly?
A43583If you say Soul take thine case, and God say, Devil take his Soul: Whether of these think you, will prevail?
A43583Impenitency to your sin?
A43583In closing more fully with promises?
A43583Is he grown so full of charity to Souls?
A43583Is it not more the grief of thy heart when God is dishonoured, his Spirit grieved, his Gospel reproached by the sins of profane or professours?
A43583Is not gratitude for Spiritual Mercies, a great evidence of your interest in them?
A43583Is not the Devil a cheat?
A43583Is not the Heavenly Inheritance Gods own to give?
A43583Is not thy heart daily more weary of the world, and longing for Heaven?
A43583Is not thy principle, rule, end, otherwise then formerly?
A43583Is not your Repentance more Evangelical?
A43583Is security your best fence against misery?
A43583Is the infinite all- seeing God grown so weak or blind that you can couzen or conquer him?
A43583Is there an Heaven or Hell after this life, or is there not?
A43583Is there not a reality in Satans temptations, to draw or drive us from God and future happiness?
A43583It s not as I say, or you say, but as God himself saith; do I say any thing but what the holy God saith in the Bible?
A43583Let us be ashamed of our slackness; what have we been doing with all that time, these helps and priviledges we have had?
A43583Let us be glad and rejoyce, and give honour to him; for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his Wife hath made her self ready: But how is she ready?
A43583May not all be cleansed alike then?
A43583Must our sweat and labour be in vain?
A43583Must the Earth be forsaken for thee?
A43583Must the immutable God falsifie his word to save chee against his will, yea, against thy will?
A43583Must these be par- boilings for everlasting burnings?
A43583Must you needs add drunkenness to thirst?
A43583My grand enquiry is, what must I do to be saved?
A43583Nay can you be content with an Hell in both worlds?
A43583Nay is not this a mean to continue them?
A43583Nay, what did he not see in us to turn his stomach against us?
A43583Now, Sirs, consider, shall you receive this grace of God in vain?
A43583O Lord God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
A43583O grave where is thy victory?
A43583O no, it will never be: Heaven and Hell will as soon joyn as God and an unregenerate sinner: Will the holy God take such vipers into his bosom?
A43583O saith the Christian, what shall I do with this untoward heart?
A43583O saith the believing Soul, if meat be so sweet to an hungry stomach, how much more excellent is Gods loving kindness?
A43583Object against it and disprove it; but must not the Word of God judge you another day?
A43583Oh Sirs, do you know what Heaven is?
A43583Oh Sirs, if you should but look down into that stupendious gulf, what a change would it work in your hearts?
A43583Oh how unmeet am I for this glorious state or high honour?
A43583Oh this word for ever is amazing, A godly man in company sate in a deep muse, and being demanded what he was thinking of?
A43583Or are there no Devils or Spirits, and so by consequence no God?
A43583Or be mortified to things below, that have their portion in this present life, were never divorced from their lusts, and have no treasure above?
A43583Or can you bribe him to let you in with fair words or large gifts?
A43583Or can you bring him to your melody, or make him keep time with your skilful quire?
A43583Or dare you stand to plead in his face that you are qualified and meet for Heaven, when he tells you, that you are not?
A43583Or do you think he will admit those that he saith he will keep out?
A43583Or do you think that the gates of Heaven are as wide as the gates of Hell, or that as many shall be saved as damned?
A43583Or give this Inheritance of Saints to the Devils slaves?
A43583Or within us what preparation for Heaven?
A43583Our Lord himself, cryed dying, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A43583Peat your fingers off from the world?
A43583Say with Calvin,[ Vsquequo Domine?]
A43583Shall all the Ordinances be lost upon you?
A43583Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee?
A43583Shall you not be there soon enough?
A43583Tell not me that thou hast done this or that good work, but art thou savingly converted from sin to God?
A43583That I have done this or that?
A43583The former is like some high Mountains, that are above Storms and Clouds, as they say Olympus is clear and beautiful?
A43583The necessity of Christ and grace?
A43583Then what shall a poor doubting Soul say of it self, that is dark, and much discouraged as many a good Soul is?
A43583There''s holy company above of Saints, but they can not abide to be near them on Earth, how then can they like to be associated to them in Heaven?
A43583These are the astonishing thoughts of a poor doubtful dying Soul: And is this Man meet for Heaven?
A43583This is Gods way to get assurance: Have I the conditions of Gospel- promises, Faith and Repentance?
A43583This is a pitiful ruinous Cottage, when shall I be brought into the Kings Pallace?
A43583This new Jerusalem is built all of Free- stone, and shall not our shoutings echo, grace, grace to the Head- stone, Jesus Christ?
A43583To knit your minds, and raise your affections to God, and sometimes suggest words to you?
A43583Upon what terms stand I for another world?
A43583VVhat is Heaven but the injoyment of God?
A43583Was not Hezekiah a Godly Man?
A43583Was not his Soul in a readiness for death?
A43583Weaken your corruptions, and purge and furbish your Souls, as vessels for the high shelf of glory?
A43583What Conceptions ought we to have of the blessed God?
A43583What beast will run into a pit or praecipice?
A43583What can I do?
A43583What cleanly person can endure to have a filthy swine a bed and board with him in his Parlour or Bed- chamber?
A43583What could God see in us to attract his heart to us?
A43583What else have you to do in the world?
A43583What fruits hath it brought forth in me?
A43583What ground hast thou to own me?
A43583What is Hell then for, that''s so oft mention''d in the Bible?
A43583What is that habitual meetness for the Inheritance of the Saints in Light, without which Men can never attain to it, or have eternal possession of it?
A43583What is the change wrought in a Man by Gods H. Word and Spirit, before he can safely conclude himself passed from Death to Life?
A43583What mad man will refuse this gift that is better then Gold?
A43583What pains would you take?
A43583What saving work hath passed upon my heart?
A43583What say you to these things?
A43583What sayest thou?
A43583What staggerings in our Faith of the reality of unseen things?
A43583What stamp, what sheep- mark can I shew, as the fruit of Gods being at work on my Soul, and an earnest of this glorious Inheritance?
A43583What strict observers of the Sabbath were the Scribes and Pharisees?
A43583What tears, fears, what groans and agonies hath it cost me?
A43583What think you, can any secretly steal in unknown to him, or forcibly thrust in against his will?
A43583What work is it that God sets before Men to dispatch and manage?
A43583What''s become of the many warnings we have had in our selves and others?
A43583What, are you content with a Heaven here, and an Hell hereafter?
A43583When are men cleansed, is it[ in Articulo mortis] in the passage of the Soul out of the Body?
A43583When occasions of sinning are removed, rather then afforded, though it cost thee dear?
A43583When thousands are left, why art thou taken?
A43583When will it be over?
A43583Where''s this new Creature, the Divine Nature, the Image and Seed of God working Heaven- wards?
A43583Whither are you going?
A43583Why may not my glory rejoyce?
A43583Why should not then my heart be glad?
A43583Why so?
A43583Will he set the Crown on Rebels heads?
A43583Will not your mouth be stopt, and Conscience fly in your face?
A43583Will you believe it?
A43583Yes doubtless, for he dare appeal to God that he had walked before him in truth, and with a perfect heart: What then was the matter?
A43583Yet after all this canst thou not say, thou art nothing, deservest nothing but Hell?
A43583You must give account of Sabbaths, Sermons, Sacraments, shall they be the savour of death unto death to you, or the savour of life unto life?
A43583You will say how can any man be said to dispatch his work till his life be done?
A43583You''l say, can I make my self meet for Heaven?
A43583and are these fit to live with God till brought nigh?
A43583and can two walk together except they be agreed?
A43583and can you think to overturn his appointed Will, or contradict his Councels?
A43583and how can dryed stubble dwell with consuming fire?
A43583and is such a dead block meet to converse with the living God?
A43583and is this fit to dwell with an Holy God till sanctified?
A43583and the Prophets do they live for ever?
A43583and what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?
A43583being more weighted with the necessity of their Conversion?
A43583have you no better a friend then Satan?
A43583what do I here?
A43583with darkness?
A392611,& c. Now what a wretched condition is that man in, all whose Addresses to Heaven, and all whose good deeds on Earth can do him no good?
A3926110. should allow us just as much time as we desire, to dishonour and affront him in?
A392615. to set light by the Gospel of Peace?
A392616. Who can have any Comfort in his life past, that considers not how he hath spent it, whether Sinfully and Vainly, or Virtuously and Piously?
A39261Am I sure what my End will be?
A39261And am I not a very fool for this?
A39261And am I taking all this pains to entertain the Worms?
A39261And are we content then to be damned if we die to night?
A39261And are we sure, that if we defer it now, it will do us good hereafter?
A39261And can it now be needful to prove, that this can not be done too soon?
A39261And can this be thought a saving Repentance?
A39261And can we excuse our selves for such a Sin and Folly?
A39261And had we rather gratify the Devil by our Damnation, than have the holy Angels rejoice at our Salvation?
A39261And have we not daily remembrancers of what we are so apt of our selves to forget?
A39261And how are we sure that God will then accept of it?
A39261And how easie is it then to see, that many who think themselves Penitents, are mistaken in their duty?
A39261And is it not likely, the longer we delay, that this same supine and regardless temper will be the more fixed and confirm''d?
A39261And is it not then too natural to men of this presumption, to presume still the more confidently, the longer God forbeareth them?
A39261And is not the danger of dying impenitent, the same now, that it will be then?
A39261And is not this as absurd, as to set our selves in our Saviour''s stead, and a taking upon us to make for our selves a new and easier way to Heaven?
A39261And may they not, for ought we know, befal us as well as any others?
A39261And may we not be this moment, for ought we know, in the very same danger that we then thought our selves in?
A39261And must not all this make Repentance a much harder work, than otherwise it might have been?
A39261And must the glorious Majesty of Heaven and Earth wait on every filthy Wretch as long as he pleaseth?
A39261And shall we not, to make our life easie to us, and our burthen light, be at the pains of a few timely serious Thoughts?
A39261And to how much better purpose too were it so to do?
A39261And what a task doth he thus make himself, to repent of all these sins hereafter?
A39261And what care have I taken that I may not?
A39261And what greater baseness of mind and temper can there be in any one, than this?
A39261And what kind of Penitents are these?
A39261And what reason have we, if we now love them so well, to think, that we shall not love them as well hereafter, as now we do?
A39261And what saith the delaying Sinner to all this, when he is told of it?
A39261And what will follow thence?
A39261And who feeds me, or can reward or punish me, but he who is Lord of all things?
A39261And who of a thousand, especially if young and lively, hath patience to endure this?
A39261And why then are we not now in as great haste to repent, as we were in then?
A39261Are his Works and Word, his Blessings and his Curse, his Favour and Displeasure, his Mercies and his Judgments, all one to us?
A39261Are not most Malefactors thus penitent, after a severe Sentence is given, and they see no remedy but it must be presently executed upon them?
A39261Are not our Obligations, and our Dependances on him the same?
A39261Are the things which belong unto our Peace hid from us, so that we can have no thoughts of them?
A39261Are we able to plead for our selves, That we have lived a life of Repentance, Faith, and new Obedience?
A39261Are we forgetful?
A39261Are we ignorant, and wicked?
A39261Are we no way concern''d in God''s Infinite Wisdom, Power, Goodness, Justice, Faithfulness, Holiness, his Providence, or his Laws?
A39261Are we not in the greatest danger by not considering?
A39261Are we not sensible that such things often befal men, who as little fear''d them as we do?
A39261But how doth God resent such an Answer?
A39261But if we can not plead this, what will become of us?
A39261But what was it we promised?
A39261But who hath assured us, that we shall have any time at all, after this that now is, to repent in?
A39261By whose Order am I to dispose of what I have, but by his who gave it me?
A39261Can any one pity us, or shall not we curse our selves, if we perish only for want of considering how we may be saved?
A39261Can any one think he hath too soon got out of the Lion''s mouth, out of the snares of the Devil, and from the Borders of Hell?
A39261Can any one think it too soon to be within view of Heaven and Eternal Joys?
A39261Can any one, who hath any love for himself( as who hath not in some sense or other?)
A39261Can one too early get out of danger and be safe?
A39261Can one too soon begin to grow Happy?
A39261Can our own Consciences acquit us, for not thinking how we may escape Eternal Misery?
A39261Can such Vertues as Sobriety, Temperance and Chastity, and many more, be thought commanded us as the proper Exercises of a sick and dying man?
A39261Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the Leopard his spots?
A39261Can there be any Comfort in a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries?
A39261Can there be any place for Comfort in that man''s breast, that knows himself to be at Enmity with God, and God to be incens''d against him?
A39261Can there be any thing more against Reason, than to think it was given us to consider least, the things that are most considerable?
A39261Can we be indifferent, whether God take any care for our Salvation, or none?
A39261Can we be wholly unconcern''d whether he see us, or see us not; whether he regard, or neglect us?
A39261Can we excuse our selves for not thinking most on the best things, which will do us most good?
A39261Can we think it all a case, whether we behave our selves towards him as Subjects, or as Rebels; whether he reward, or punish us?
A39261Can we think the Apostle meant no more by these words, but that we should do this for some few years or days of our old age before we die?
A39261Do I nothing now but what I shall be able to answer for then?
A39261Do not they all visibly tend to our Health, and our Honour, and our Happiness?
A39261Do such Servants consider, that they are not their own, and that the Money they have is not their own?
A39261Do we any of us know, how soon the Door will be shut upon us, and there shall be no entrance for us into Heaven?
A39261Do we know, any of us, that there is so much as one day, or one hour, betwixt this moment and Eternity?
A39261Doth it tell them, that they may safely stay as long as they have a mind to Sin, and yet Repent at last?
A39261Doth not God in JESUS Christ most graciously invite us to this high honour?
A39261Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?
A39261God hath not assured us of any such thing, and Man can not; on what then do we build our hopes of living to any time hereafter?
A39261Had we deserved to die?
A39261Had we rather weep fruitlesly for our Torments, than weep savingly for our Sins?
A39261Hath he not open''d unto us a fountain for sin and for uncleanness, wherein the foulest sinner may wash freely, and become as white as snow?
A39261Hath not God laid them plain and open before us, so as he that runs may read them?
A39261Have I made my self ready for a blessed Eternity?
A39261Have we no Eyes to see with, no light to see by?
A39261Have we no Reason to consider?
A39261Have we no Teachers to instruct us?
A39261Have we no capacity of learning?
A39261Have we not yet well learn''d them?
A39261Have we, after all, need still of bodily succours and sustenance, of wordly delights and refreshments in our way to blessedness?
A39261How came we to be of such a different temper then, from that which we were in before?
A39261How can any one imagine it too soon to do what he knows necessary to be done, and yet may never be done, if not just now?
A39261How can we chuse but blush to continue any time, so very unlike to that which God at first made Man to be?
A39261How can we possibly excuse our selves for this gross neglect?
A39261How could he testify his love and care of us more convincingly than he hath done?
A39261How know we, that we shall not die before?
A39261How long hath God already waited to be gracious?
A39261How long ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity; and the scorners delight in scorning, and fools hate knowledg?
A39261How long?
A39261How many calls and warnings hath he already given us to repent?
A39261How many hundreds yearly die in the heat and wantonness of their youthful blood?
A39261How many in the height of their security and confidence, sleeping in their beds, riding merrily on the rode, going busily about their common affairs?
A39261How many in the very fulness of strength and vigour?
A39261How many in the very throng of their worldly business, and whilst they are as busy as the Bee in gathering for old age?
A39261How many notable ways doth he daily exercise his loving- kindness towards us?
A39261How many of our temper hath the Devil got into Hell already, by persuading them''t is already too soon, till they find it too late?
A39261How many that delay from time to time, are, when they least fear it, knock''d down with a sudden blow?
A39261How much patience hath he had already to see himself dishonour''d by us?
A39261How often have we broken his New Covenant of Grace, and sinned against the greatest of Mercies?
A39261How sensible are we in the mean time, of the Dignity of our Nature, as we are Men?
A39261How stand my Accounts against the day of Judgment?
A39261How then should I hope to be Happy, and not Miserable, but by Pleasing and Honouring him in doing his Will, and Obeying him in all things?
A39261I have lived in all good conscience before God unto this day?
A39261I hearkned and heard( saith God) but they spake not aright; no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done?
A39261If a Man may act like a Beast, without Consideration, why should not God have made him like a Beast too, without Reason?
A39261If any one ask, What course is to be taken by those who have long delay''d their Repentance, but are not yet in appearance near unto death?
A39261If it be not, alas, what is it that we live for?
A39261If not, why are we so mad as to put it to the venture?
A39261If we do not, what can we mean by saying so, but this; That if we live, we will repent to morrow?
A39261If we will be saved, we must repent; and is it not a very foolish thing to stay till the whip drive us to it?
A39261If we will be so base as to delight in filthiness, why should not God with Indignation say, Let them be filthy still?
A39261Is he not the same God now, that he will be then, one and the same, unchangeable for ever?
A39261Is it all one to us what our End shall be, whether we shall be acquitted, or condemned in the day of Judgment?
A39261Is it all one whether we be under his Government, or our own Masters; under his power, or at our own command?
A39261Is it an unwarrantable presumption of the greatness of God''s Mercy, or of his unwearied Forbearance, that is the cause of our delay?
A39261Is it not very comfortable to be confident of God''s love and favour, of his fatherly blessing, and of his special care and providence?
A39261Is it not, that we are by our Baptism engaged to live in Sin no longer?
A39261Is it now a careless, negligent and unconsidering temper of mind that is the cause of our delay?
A39261Is it now possible that any one can make too much haste to get into this comfortable Condition?
A39261Is it the love of our sins wherewith we are bewitched, so that we are not able to part with them, and therefore delay our Repentance?
A39261Is it the same thing, whether we be holy or unholy; lovely or abominable in the pure Eyes of God?
A39261Is not our delaying our Repentance the likeliest way in the World to provoke Almighty God to send out one of these swift Arrows to destroy us?
A39261Is nothing of this worth our serious Consideration?
A39261Is the cause of our delay a secret root of Atheism or Infidelity, a disbelief of God, and of his Word?
A39261Is there not as much reason now to move us to keep the Commandments of God, as ever there will be hereafter?
A39261Is this the way to oblige God to be more liberal of his Grace unto us hereafter, to turn his Grace already given us into wantonness?
A39261Is to Dishonour him as long as we can, the best way to assure us of his help in time of need?
A39261It is a Sin against the Gospel of Christ, which is the only foundation Sinners have to raise their hope of Salvation upon?
A39261It is natural and unavoidable to us to think of something; and is it not reasonable then to think on something to some purpose?
A39261Know we how soon we must dye, or how we must dye?
A39261Know ye not( saith he again) that so many of us as were baptized into Iesus Christ, were baptized into his death?
A39261Let us seriously consider now, what''s the plain English of all this: Are we not afraid, lest God should understand it?
A39261Makes it no matter, whether the time of this life be wisely improved, or vainly wasted?
A39261May we not be suddenly taken with an Apoplexy or a Lethargy, with a Phrenzy, or Melancholy, or Dotage?
A39261May we not be tempted out of the way to life, ere we are aware of it, by a thousand temptations for want of considering?
A39261May we not become mad or foolish, and so distracted and crazed in our heads, that we can not at all consider either what we do, or what we should do?
A39261May we not fall asleep, and sleep on securely, till all be in flames about us, and there shall be no escaping, nothing but terror and amazement?
A39261Mine own, or his whose I am, and who alone can make me happy?
A39261Must not this idolized Body of mine by and by rot in the Earth?
A39261Must vile Sinners have the command of God''s Ear?
A39261Need I use arguments to convince us, that one can not make too much haste to be a good man?
A39261O how shall we then escape for neglecting so great Salvation?
A39261O why then should we now lose the opportunity we have, and giddily venture thereby suddenly to fall into that remediless condition they are now in?
A39261O why will we deal worse with God, and our own Souls, than we are wo nt to do with any thing else of the meanest concern to us?
A39261Or have I blotted out by repentance all that will not pass then for good?
A39261Our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our Conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity we have had our conversation in the world?
A39261Run we not a great hazard in doing so?
A39261Shall we be so mad as to live to no other end, but to have time enough to make our selves intollerably wretched?
A39261Shall we defer our Repentance till it will do us no good?
A39261Shall we toil like Oxen in the dirt of this World, merely to defile our selves, and make our selves odious in the sight of our heavenly Father?
A39261Shall we trifle away all our time in sin, and folly, and vanity, to this good End, That we may be the surer of an eternity of Torments and Sorrow?
A39261Shall we( saith he) that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
A39261Was it not this we promised, To keep God''s holy will and commandments all the days of our life?
A39261We are sensible that we are guilty of many sins; and who is not so, that believes what he reads in Scripture?
A39261We can not chuse but know what filthy leprous creatures sin hath made us: And why are we in no more haste to be cleansed and made whole?
A39261Well, but now consider it in earnest; Is there not a great deal of danger in driving it off till hereafter?
A39261Were not some of them so too, who died the other day; and thought they not themselves as likely to live as any of us can be?
A39261Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination?
A39261Were we become weak?
A39261What Trade can a man drive on thrivingly in this World, if he make his Conscience too soon tender and delicate?
A39261What a madness is this, not to do to our comfort now, what if we do not now, we must do hereafter to our sorrow?
A39261What a vile degeneracy is this that we are sunk into, That we should fall so deeply in love with our own dishonour, as to be loth to part with it?
A39261What am I spending my time and labour in?
A39261What am I to do with my self and what I have, but that for which I was made, and for which all that I have was given me?
A39261What an unaccountable madness is it, instead of making our Calling and Election sure, to make them every day we live more and more uncertain to us?
A39261What an untoward humour is this in us?
A39261What assurance can any of us have, that we shall have an hereafter to repent in?
A39261What can we imagine should bring us out of love with sin more then, than now?
A39261What else can be the reason why we should delay one minute to keep God''s Commandments?
A39261What folly is it to drive off our Repentance, till we be scourged and lash''d unto it?
A39261What haste would we then be in to make as sure as we could of escaping those dreadful Torments, the very thoughts whereof seem torment enough?
A39261What have I done?
A39261What have I left undone?
A39261What is it that I am a doing in this World?
A39261What is it that should hinder us from making what haste we can to be happy, in hearkning to so good and gracious a God and Father?
A39261What is it that we think will alter it?
A39261What is it then, whereby any one can possibly provoke God to withdraw or withhold his Grace from him?
A39261What is it, but to slight all God''s gracious tenders of Peace and Reconciliation, as things we think as yet needless, and not at all to be valued?
A39261What is our life?
A39261What makes men more careless and secure in their sinful Courses, than long impunity and forbearance?
A39261What means he by saying, We are dead to sin?
A39261What more obliging course can we imagine God could have taken to bring Sinners in love with Him, and their own Happiness?
A39261What needs any one care how he lives, if he can be sure of Grace enough to save him at any time before he die?
A39261What obligations to God can we be sensible of in all the great things which he hath wrought for us, whilst we mind them not?
A39261What one of a hundred of us, makes Religion his business?
A39261What probability is there, that any Resolution of repenting hereafter, is sincere?
A39261What reason can we find to persuade us, to think such a Repentance to be the true Repentance, to which Pardon and Salvation are promised?
A39261What strange Agonies of Soul have many dying sinners fallen into, who have lived jovially all their days?
A39261What though we be young, and lusty, and healthful?
A39261What thoughts have some of us, it may be, had, when in some fit of sickness we apprehended Death approaching near us?
A39261What would the Damned in Hell now give, that either they had consider''d when they would not, or could not now consider when they must?
A39261What''s the reason we should delay to have Christ formed in us, to be made Partakers of a Divine Nature in Holiness?
A39261What, for some few days of their life, or for the whole remaining part of it?
A39261What, is it the business of our lives, to make our selves Everlastingly Miserable?
A39261What?
A39261When therefore will we repent, that we may be out of danger?
A39261When we can not hinder our thoughts from being busie, is it not fit we should set them on work for our good?
A39261When we say, we will repent to morrow; do we know whether we shall be alive or dead to morrow?
A39261Whence can this proceed, but from inconsideration, or want of thinking on things as Men should do?
A39261Wherefore hath he made so many Gracious Promises to the Faithful and Obedient, and Threatned such terrible things to unbelievers and wicked persons?
A39261Whether it shall be then said to us, Come ye blessed, or depart ye cursed?
A39261Who Considers it?
A39261Who can Repent of the Sins which he hath not duly Considered, with all their aggravations?
A39261Who can chear up his Soul in God, and rejoyce in the Lord?
A39261Who can dwell with Everlasting Burnings?
A39261Who can improve the Blessings of God to God''s Honour, and the good of himself and others, that seldome thinks of them?
A39261Who can make me Happy, but he who made me and all things?
A39261Who gave me what I have but God?
A39261Who made me but God?
A39261Who placed me here on the Earth but God?
A39261Who then that is wise will venture one moment longer on such an uncertainty?
A39261Who will call me to a reckoning for all I have, and all I do, but he who gave me all, and hath given me Rules whereby to dispose of all?
A39261Who would think, that a Reasonable Creature should be so Senseless?
A39261Whom am I to Praise and Glorifie, but him, from whom I and all things came, by whom I and all things are preserved?
A39261Whom have I to Please, but him whose work I am to do?
A39261Whose Orders am I to follow in spending my time, my estate, my strength of mind or body, but his who hath committed all these things to my trust?
A39261Whose Servant am I, but his who feeds me, and who alone can Reward or Punish me?
A39261Whose am I, but the same God''s that made me?
A39261Whose will am I to do?
A39261Whose work have I here to do, but his who sent me hither?
A39261Whose work have I to do, but his whose I am, and who can and will call me to account?
A39261Why are we no more ambitious to retrieve the Honour and Glory which by sin we have lost?
A39261Why do not we think our selves concern''d to prevent all these evils?
A39261Why make we not all sure now whilst we can, seeing we know not how soon it will be, that we can not?
A39261Why not now, as well as hereafter?
A39261Why should he?
A39261Why then make we no more haste to keep them, and to enter into this most Honourable and Blessed Condition?
A39261Why?
A39261Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
A39261Without this use of Reason, what difference can there be betwixt us and Mad- men?
A39261Yea, can any one chuse but see, that what he doth must needs be altogether as odious and abominable to God, as it is base and reproachful to himself?
A39261Yea, how many severe Judgments might we escape in this life, did we well consider?
A39261Yea, will some say, who knows not this?
A39261and alway be ready at his beck, and come at his call?
A39261and what pity can we deserve if we die?
A39261but that he goes on without consideration?
A39261intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
A39261shall we tire and wear out our selves, merely to destroy our selves?
A39261what are we all our life long a labouring for?
A39261where is thy sting?
A39261where is thy victory?
A39261whether we be fitted in time for mercy, or stay till it be too late?
A39261whether we have a Saviour, or no Saviour; be reconciled to God, or at enmity with him?
A39261whether we shall for ever rejoice in Heaven, or burn in Hell?
A48621A gentle one indeed, for how slight a satisfaction is this?
A48621ARe you sufficiently apprehensive of these things young Man, or do you yet stand in need of a further and a clearer light?
A48621Afflictions do also prove and try us; for otherwise how shall any Man be able to judge of his firmness and proficiency?
A48621And does not a General chastize his cowardly Army, by the decimation of them?
A48621And how shall he not be vvilling vvho is the BEST?
A48621And if it is grievous to be driven thence: vvhat is it to be forced from our Country, our Temples and Altars?
A48621And in all this where is the injury?
A48621And in the rest of Europe vvhat is there?
A48621And shall you in the Ocean of this life refuse to follow the conduct of that Spirit by vvhom the vvhole Universe is swayed?
A48621And to speak truth, vvhat is there in these things, that can appear new to any man, that is not himself a gross Ignaro in humane affairs?
A48621And vvhat greater miracle can there be, than that vvicked Men should make vvicked Men good?
A48621And vvhat is that being kill''d?
A48621And vvhat is the reward of this too too inquisitive Genius of ours?
A48621And vvhat vvould that vvandring Mind of yours, by its so curious an inquisition?
A48621And vvhich vvay shall he put an exact difference, betwixt those things vvhich he hath not so much as seen?
A48621And vvhy then in this Scene of life( as I may so call it) should the same dress and countenance of things delight us?
A48621And vvill it not hurry you thence in the same manner?
A48621And what can that Guard, or those Swords do?
A48621And why should I conceal my Custome from you?
A48621And yet I now speak only of such as are at present upon us; what are those that await us?
A48621And yet how small and inconsiderable is either this Country or people; in comparison of all Europe?
A48621Are not they also men?
A48621Are there then any punished vvho have not deserved it?
A48621Are vve so rigid and severe as not to suffer that any should be mov''d or affected vvith the grief of another?
A48621Are you about to change your Soile and Climb?
A48621Are you in good earnest, or vvhether is not there here some imposture and cousenage?
A48621Art thou vviser than thy Maker?
A48621As vve Belgians do at this day?
A48621Assign the causes( say you) vvhy divine vengeance overpasses these; and seises upon these?
A48621Assoon as I entred I took their prospect, with a wandring and curious Eve; and really wondring at the elegancy, and culture of the place?
A48621At this a little heated: Nay said I do you ask this in earnest, or vvhether is it mockery of my Grief, and on purpose to provoke me?
A48621BUt I have said enough of the Sentiments and dissents of the ancients, for why should I over curiously or subtilly search into the Mysteries of Hell?
A48621BUt vvhy should I dwell longer upon these things?
A48621Be it so; vvill you therefore add impudence to your imprudence; and carp at the power of that Divine Lavv, vvhich you can not conceive of?
A48621But Langius laughing out- right, did you ever sway Scepter Lipsius( said he) so Princelike and so severe are your edicts?
A48621But for vvhat purpose I pray?
A48621But hovv much better were it for you, if you had the same Ardour and eagerness after Wisdome?
A48621But if you bewaile Publick evills as such; where lyes the difference?
A48621But is your Grief only vain?
A48621But shall vve continue our vvalk; or whether is it not better and most convenient for us to sit?
A48621But to vvhat end I beseech ye?
A48621But vvhat is it that appears so strange, and unusual to us?
A48621But vvhat think you?
A48621But why should insist upon such Warrs, as were managed by the conduct of several Commanders?
A48621But you ask again; why is Sin here immixed?
A48621But you vvill say vvhy does God use the help of the vvicked?
A48621Did Greece heretofore flourish?
A48621Did I call them Evils?
A48621Did Italy sway the Scepter?
A48621Did not Nature it self bring you into the World so?
A48621Did the ancients abuse it?
A48621Do I seek my Divertisements in the Country or Gardens?
A48621Do I?
A48621Do Warrs molest any people?
A48621Do they learn languages?
A48621Do they understand the Greek and Latine Authors?
A48621Do vve not vvillingly bear with Discords in Musick for some time; because vve know that the last closures vvill end in comfort?
A48621Do you cast down your Eyes at these things?
A48621Do you fall?
A48621Do you forbid me to pitty too?
A48621Do you indeed feare this Warre?
A48621Do you not hear how craftily Homer advises?
A48621Do you prepare your self to an action that is virtuous?
A48621Do you see Brittain?
A48621Do you see a beggarly Fellow represent in some Play the person of a Prince, all Pompous and brave?
A48621Do you see that Arbour set out vvith Topiary vvork?
A48621Do you see that Sun?
A48621Do you stagger?
A48621Do you suppose that only to be punishment, which we can look upon, and which this Body doth sensibly undergo?
A48621Do you then( said he) choose rather to wish, than to act?
A48621Do you think him your judge, or rather your Lictour or Executioner?
A48621Do you think it there troubles me, what the French or Spaniard are designing?
A48621Do you think that only pleasant or profitable things are sent to us from Heaven?
A48621Do your oppose me vvith Fate?
A48621Does any Man laugh at that Roman, who put on mourning for the Death of his Lamprey?
A48621Does not the School- master give the Ferula to some one of his wantonizing Scholars?
A48621Does that Servant hate you?
A48621Dost thou carefully expunge the faults out of Plautus, vvhen thou sufferest thy Mind to be over- grown and neglected?
A48621Doth he come vvith a Mind to do you a mischief?
A48621Doth he see the Genius of the Hetrurians to be over- haughty and raised?
A48621Doth it then overpass them?
A48621Doth my temper incline me to ease and quiet?
A48621For how comes it to be Piety?
A48621For how do you know it?
A48621For is it my Fancy only?
A48621For see vvhat a comeliness and order is every vvhere?
A48621For vvhat can more lively express his power than this?
A48621For vvhat else can you mean by that bold pronouncing upon the equality or inequality of crimes, otherwise than God hath done before you?
A48621For vvhat means the subtile thread of distinctions?
A48621For vvho art thou that not only presumest to lead on the judgements of God, but also to prescribe him his season?
A48621For vvho ever assented, that Fate acts singly vvithout the intervention of middle and assisting causes?
A48621For vvho, O Langius said I, is there to be found of so flinty and hard a heart; as longer to endure these evils?
A48621For what Sanctuary is there from these Evils, but only in the flight of them?
A48621For what does your grief aim at?
A48621For what hope you, or vvhat do you expect thereby?
A48621For what should I speak of Men?
A48621For who would wish that this Universe should be like the dead Sea; without Wind or Motion?
A48621Free, noble, Men, Women and Children, all sorts vvere hurried away by the Victour; and vvho knowes but it vvas into eternal slavery?
A48621God strikes, and God passes by; vvhat would you have more?
A48621Hath it cherish''d us?
A48621Hath it nourish''d us?
A48621Have you not observed in the Scutcheons and Impresses of some of the Princes of this Age; that high and envy''d Motto, NEITHER BY HOPE NOR FEAR?
A48621He indulges them liberty: The Venetians of a temper betwixt both?
A48621He is sometimes ecclipsed: The Moon?
A48621He rules them by a Prince: The Helvetians easy and quiet?
A48621He takes away our Estates, we abused them to Luxury; our liberty, because we enlarg''d it to licentiousness?
A48621Hear that other thus sighing; Am I then that only one, vvho have neither Friend nor Enemy?
A48621Here I interrupted him, and vvhat Thornes of the Stoicks are these said I?
A48621Here you shall be vvith your self: Have employments exhausted your Spirits?
A48621How do his Corrivals emulate and envy him?
A48621How fitly all things are disposed in their Beds and Borders?

A36329— if your Family disown God, God will disown your Family; and, if God disown and cast you off, will not your family be a miserable family?
A2668714. the Margin hath given such a promise to him thereupon, and wlll not you put in for a share, neither in the praise, nor the Promise?
A2668746. and will not you own it with your practise?
A26687A selfish spirit is unworthy of a Christian: are the common concernments of Gods Glory, and the prosperity of the Church, much upon your hearts?
A26687Again, hath Christ recorded his name in your Hearts?
A26687Again, how do you stand affected towards Holiness?
A26687Ah what a Block doth Unbelief make of man?
A26687Ah, dear Couzin, rouze up your self make conscience, to deal plainly and freely with your soul, say within your self, I have hopes for Heaven?
A26687Ah, what a discouragement to your Teacher is this?

A26687Alas, what do I here?
A26687Amongst Devils, or Angels?
A26687An heir of Glory?
A26687And O that the Lord might be loved the better, and glorified the more for our sakes: Will you tell us wherein we may shew our love to him?
A26687And how great and how near is it?
A26687And if the friends do rejoyce, how much more doth the father?
A26687And if this be true, I pray you, tell me whether GOD hath not dealt well with us in counting us worthy of this little Tribulation for his Name?
A26687And once again, when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, shall he live?
A26687And shall the Grant of Heaven signifie little with thee?
A26687And should they not walk more cautiously, and charily, than any alive, that are under so exact and curious an Eye?
A26687And what have we to do, but to believe, and wait, and love, and long, and look out for his coming, in which is all our hope?
A26687And what is thy business without Gods Blessing?
A26687And will he come?
A26687And will you miss of all, for want of patience?
A26687Are not we his Jewells?
A26687Are they capable of the misteries of your trade, and are they not capable of the plain principles of Religion?

A26687Are you more affraid of sin than ever?
A26687Are you more earnest upon the duty of Mortification?
A26687Are you not betrothed unto Christ?
A26687Are you yet willing to turn?
A26687As the Father hath given him, so do your hearts give him a Name above every Name: Is Christ uppermost with you in your estimations and affection?
A26687Be contented with Travellers lots: know you not that you are in a strange Land?
A26687Be restless till you can say, that you know''t is well?
A26687Believed thou this?
A26687Beloved, sha I not the Vessel be for the use of the Potter that made it?
A26687Beloved, what can you do?
A26687Besides, is not ours a Religion of self denial?
A26687Besides, the Husbandman hath long patience, and will not you have a little patience?
A26687Beware they be not found among the Families that call not upon Gods Name; sor why should there be wrath from the Lord upon your Families?
A26687Brethren beloved, how fares it with your souls?
A26687Brethren, how stands it with you?
A26687Brethren, shall I yet prevail with you?
A26687Brethren, what are you for?
A26687But O what shall we render?
A26687But alas, how long shall I be a seeking?
A26687But alas, though those things are duly to be considered too, yet what good am I like to do?
A26687But alas, what are they the better for any, for all this?
A26687But alas, what are we, and what is this little that we call our All?
A26687But be of good comfort, the shame of Holiness is real Glory: how confidently doth Paul shake his Chain?
A26687But it may be you will say, how shall I know if I am an object of Electing love?
A26687But one cast for Eternity, and will you not be careful to throw that well?
A26687But we may now cry out as the Psalmist, in his complaint, O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my Glory into shame?
A26687But what do I speak of my love?
A26687But what shall I say?
A26687But where shall I begin, or when should I end?
A26687But who are Christs Sheep?
A26687But why should I doubt of your acceptance, who have so readily embraced me in all our converses?
A26687But why, my Pylades, why is thy stile towards me changed?
A26687But will you now?
A26687Can Fulness fill you?
A26687Can Omnipotence secure you?
A26687Can a woman forget her Child, that she should not have compassion on the Son of her Womb?
A26687Can all content you?
A26687Can not your consciences witness, can not your families witness you have not?
A26687Can they undo your Souls?
A26687Can unsearchable Riches suffice you?
A26687Can you forget your Children?
A26687Chear up, my Brethren, look what a Crown, what a Kingdom here is; What say you?
A26687Christ did not bethink his Blood, and shall I think my Breath, or Ink, too dear in order to your salvation?
A26687Christians, where are you affections?
A26687Come my Beloved, let us sit down under his Shadow: Here is safety, and rest, if God be for us, who can be against us?
A26687Could you make out your claim?
A26687Deathts can stand before it?
A26687Did you ever read or hear of a man so mad as to run upon the Swords point, to avoid the scratch of a Pin?
A26687Do I first seek the Kingdom of Heaven, and the Righteousness thereof?
A26687Do I speak any thing but what God hath spoken?
A26687Do I think Heaven will drop into my mouth?
A26687Do I think to be Crowned, and yet never fight?
A26687Do You in your very hearts prefer a Godly strict Life in communion with and conformity to God, before the greatest prosperity of the World?
A26687Do any of you question whether you are so happy as to have your names recorded above?
A26687Do but view it believingly and considerately, as it is darkly drawn there, and tell me, what think you of that worthy portion, that goodly Heritage?
A26687Do these Letters come to none that are yet unsanctified?
A26687Do you abstain from sin out of fear, or out of dislike?

A26687Do you regard no Iniquity in your hearts?
A26687Do you strive against, and oppose all sin, though it may seem never so necessary, never so natural to you, or have you not your secret haunts of evil?

A26687Doth not Conscience say, Thou art the man?
A26687Fear is a slavish principle: do you find that you are acted less by fear, and more by love?
A26687For First, He hath beftowed more on them than on others: Now where much is given, much shall be required: Can you think of that without trembling?
A26687God hath said it, and who shall reverse it?
A26687Hath not Mercy wooed them?
A26687Hath not he reproved the greatest for his Peoples sakes, saying reproach not mine anointed?
A26687Have You done it all accordingly?

A26687Have you chosen the way of Gods Precepts, and had rather live holily than be allowed to live in your sins?
A26687Have you never a Sacrifice to lay upon his Altar?
A26687Have you taken him for your blessedness?
A26687He bears your names, but where?
A26687He had no need of you; Yet how do his compassions melt over perishing sinners?
A26687He hath you upon his heart, but why?
A26687How closely doth he cling?

A26687I have sent you an help on purpose: what shall all my perswasions be but speaking in the wind?
A26687I know you do; but who is there that will leave his sins for me?
A26687I mean at my requests: with whom shall I prevail to give up himself in strictnese and self- denial to the Lord?
A26687I pray, I hear, I read, but may not a meer Hypocrite do all this?
A26687I remember your strict walkings, your holy converse, your many tears: will you- lose the things that you have wrought?
A26687I say, driving them violently down the hill, till they be choaked in the Water, and drowned irrecoverably in the Gulf of endless Perdition?
A26687I shall bring it to a speedy issue: Do ● … ou question whether Christ hath taken your names?

A26687Lord, how do we make a shift to forget such a love as this?
A26687May not Christ say to some among you, Behold these three years have I come, seeking fruit, and findig none?
A26687Men do not use to die in jest: Who will impoverish himself to enrich his Friend?
A26687Must not you shortly be forgot among the Dead?
