A07467	And thou Leuiathan the Arch- Doctor of h Hereticks, art thou not hee that bestowest vpon them the apparance and shew of light?
A07467	And thou good Theise, who told thee, that hee that was crucified vpon the crosse with thee, was a King?
A07467	And till this present thou diddest conceiue it was Louyse: is not this true?
A07467	And turning himselfe to the Magician, hee said, what wilt thou that I doe?
A07467	And what danger is there( say they) to command the Diuell?
A07467	And what letteth it, but that all these things may concurre in one man?
A07467	And what thinke yee?
A07467	And why Lord?
A07467	And why?
A07467	Are you ignorant in what this pouerty of spirit consisteth?
A07467	Are you such gallant doctors, and can you make no reply?
A07467	Are you ● eadie to set open your heart to God, who hath created ● ou?
A07467	Art thou ignorant what the Lord said to Peter?
A07467	Art thou not vnhappie to beleeue that Louyse is the author and expresser of these things?
A07467	As first, to what end haue you created a creature thus beautifull?
A07467	At the euening Exorcismes Belzebub continued to torment Magdalene, and a litle after he said, What wilt thou?
A07467	Belzebub answered, whence had''st thou notice of my returne?
A07467	Blessed Spirit, where was the goodly beds with all the rich and pompous furniture which thou diddest prouide for thy Spouse?
A07467	But O great God, why diddest thou not first recommend thy mother to Iohn, and Iohn vnto thy mother?
A07467	But Verrine snatched away the booke by violence, and threw it to the ground, saying, What?
A07467	But here may an obiection be made, how Spirits are able to frame vnto themselues such bodies at their own pleasure?
A07467	But is it not true, haue not I humbled thee?
A07467	But since( said the father) such is the pleasure of God, Why then resistest thou?
A07467	But some one will obiect, what?
A07467	But vpon the sudden Magdalene cryed out, Alacke poore Mary, what makest thou heere?
A07467	But who seeth not that this is the craft and counterfaite weeping of Crocodiles, that is to say Diabolical fictions framed for deceit and cousonage?
A07467	But will Aristotle dare to auow that this grosse and earthy humour is more excellent in a man, then his vnderstanding and reason?
A07467	But you Sir, where doe you conceiue you are, in some wood or at some May- game?
A07467	But you may obiect, how proue you that this is the will of God?
A07467	Can you endure such an affront?
A07467	Canst thou not let the poore woman suppe in quyet?
A07467	Carreau answered, When a Captaine leadeth a band of Souldiers, they doe all follow him, and doe not you obey your Kings when they command you?
A07467	Certainly Thomas thy God( vnto whom it is impossible that hee should tell a lie) hath said, that hee would rise the third day: and what?
A07467	Darest thou sweare that thy doctrine is consonant vnto truth, as I wil sweare that whatsoeuer I haue here deliuered, proceedeth from the liuing God?
A07467	Did I euer bid you worship Verrine?
A07467	Did not God giue you a soule accompanied with the three goodly faculties thereof, that you might vse it and them to his glory?
A07467	Diddest not thou( said Belzebub) affirme that God hath promised Paradise vnto thee?
A07467	Doe men resist God, and am not I able to doe the same?
A07467	Doe you renounce with your whole heart Belzebub and his adherents?
A07467	Doest thou alwaies( Lord) present thy wounds vnto thy Father in the behalfe of sinners?
A07467	Doest thou beleeue it, or doest thou not?
A07467	Doest thou not know what is commonly said?
A07467	Doest thou not know, that God doth alwaies worke order out of disorder?
A07467	Doest thou not see, that God will take them vnto himselfe?
A07467	Doest thou vse thus to baite mens soules with thy faire speeches, steeped in all alluring sweetnesse?
A07467	Doth thy Order command thee to bee proud?
A07467	FAther Francis Billet saying Masse, and being come to his memento, Belzebub cryed out foure times, Why x prayest thou for Magdalene?
A07467	For how can that which happeneth vpon a set day, as vpon a Thursday, or the like, bee said to bee a dreame?
A07467	For if worldly fathers are so loving, shall not God who hath created them, bee much more gracious and good then they?
A07467	For to what purpose serue the commandements, if good workes be not necessary to saluation?
A07467	For what are you but a compound of dust and ashes?
A07467	For what importeth it whether hee entered into the body of a Serpent, or into a statue of marble?
A07467	For why should any man conceite strangely of this point, since Simon Magus himselfe was carried in the ayre by Diuels?
A07467	For why should the Diuell denie to doe such a thing, but at a set time, and should tye himselfe vnto this day and houre, rather then to any other?
A07467	From whence could the Christians better know this then from the Scriptures?
A07467	Good God what haue I miserable creature deserued to haue thy fauours doubled and heaped vpon me?
A07467	Great God, thou hast many friends at thy table, but how is their number diminished when thou commest to suffer on the Crosse?
A07467	Ha Michaelis( quoth Verrine) God hath vnloosed mee, and doest thou tie me vp?
A07467	Ha, ha, if the Princes bee astonished and at their wits end, what shall the poore lackeies then doe?
A07467	Hast thou neede of Christians?
A07467	Hath not God then inst occasion to bee incensed against them?
A07467	Haue I nothing to doe but to expose my sinnes to his knowledge?
A07467	He also said to b Magdalene, Art not thou an accursed woman, that the Witches Sabbath is kept here?
A07467	Hee cried ● ut: Cursed be In principio, If I were able to smother ● t, how willingly would I doe it?
A07467	How Idle then are they that say, I can not be conuerted?
A07467	How can it bee that so f great a God should be contained in such a little Host?
A07467	How expedient then is it, that thou walke in the commandements of thy God, and that the Bride should be obseruant of her Spouse?
A07467	How now Belzebub, wilt thou suffer thy slaue to tread thus disdainfully vpon thee?
A07467	How then can all this be attributed to a melancholick humour?
A07467	How vntrue is it that a man is to imitate God, and his Sonne Christ Iesus in all things?
A07467	How wonderfull is this?
A07467	I am the l Painter; shall not I mend this picture when it seemeth good vnto me?
A07467	I confesse it, it is a truth, is it not sufficient that I haue confessed these to be present in the blessed Hoast?
A07467	If a seruant obey his Master, how much more ought a childe so to doe?
A07467	If then any one should be familiar with such furious beasts, might hee not well bee accounted mad and depriued of common sense?
A07467	If then the answeres of Diuels are inserted in the Gospell, why may not the like answeres be now written and published to the world?
A07467	In like manner, if hee had taken any to aduise with all, touching the place of his Natiuity, they would haue told him, what Lord, chuse a stable?
A07467	Is it fit that Diuels should fall out with Diuels?
A07467	Is it not a thing that was neuer heard of before, that the Diuell is at variance with the Diuell, and that hell combateth against hell?
A07467	Is it not all true which I haue here deliuered?
A07467	Is it not better to obey God then Belzebub?
A07467	Is it not good reason to reuerence the blessed mother of God since that you are her children?
A07467	Is it not strange that the deuils should teach men mortification and aduise them thereunto?
A07467	Is it not thus?
A07467	Is not the Priest a sinner as I am?
A07467	It is true, that we may take a true oath?
A07467	Knowest thou not that hee is the father of the prodigall child?
A07467	Knowest thou not, that hee raised Lazarus from the dead, and that his all powerfull word in speaking a fiat, framed whatsoever seemed good vnto him?
A07467	Leuiathan answered, Knowest thou not that we z never sticke to take a false oath?
A07467	Leuiathan answered: What need all these words then?
A07467	Leuiathan answered: What?
A07467	Leuiathan said, What?
A07467	Leuiathan, among the supreame Seraphins, thou wert the third after Lucifer: What sayest thou now learned doctor?
A07467	Lewes answered, what should I doe?
A07467	Lewes why doest thou thus fore- slow thy comming?
A07467	Louyse vnderstandeth all this passingly well, her Father and Mother haue brought her vp to speake a great deale of latin, haue they nor?
A07467	Magdalene where are thy e teares?
A07467	Mary, why shouldest thou so affectionatly loue them?
A07467	May not hee exact this seruice from the Deuill, to enforce him to doe his will, when it shall be best pleasing vnto him?
A07467	Miserable Belzebub, was it not thou that wouldest haue throwne God from his seate of Maiesty?
A07467	Nay, why should it not rather agree vnto him, as being more capable of reason, speech, and all other actions, then a statue?
A07467	No, they must be obedient beyond others, for know you not that they are tempted by the Deuill beyond others?
A07467	Now if God who is the true Physition of your soules, shall aske you whether you be sicke or no, will you answere you are not sicke when you are?
A07467	Nunquid feriet tecum pactum,& accipies eum quasi seruum sempiternum?
A07467	Nunquid illudes ei quasi aui?
A07467	O Ioseph, thou diddest enquire after some lodging wherein you might retire your selues, but there was no roome in the Inne, and why?
A07467	O execrable Priest how carelesse art thou of thy dignity and calling?
A07467	O poore Princes, where is now your state and power, how cursed is hee that lendeth his eare vnto your sly suggestions?
A07467	O, O, O, Mercy( said Belzebub) how great art thou for the sinner, O Iustice, how seuere art thou against vs?
A07467	Others say, To what purpose should I confesse my selfe?
A07467	Otherwise to what purpose scrueth the authority of the Church, if oathes haue no tye or power?
A07467	Poore wretch looke well to thy selfe, alas, who will defend thee?
A07467	Quid mihi& tibi Iesu fili Dei altissimi?
A07467	Secundò he demanded of him, Whither the Church hath power and authority to command Diuels?
A07467	See you not that Belzebub is contrary vnto mee, and I to him?
A07467	Since then for the most part these kind of Witches are different in complexion, age, sex, and sect, how happeneth it that they should all dreame?
A07467	Speake now( illuminate doctor) defend thy selfe, O thou doctor of Heretickes?
A07467	Speake?
A07467	THE REPORT AND EXPLICATION OF the passage of S. Ierome, vpon the 1. chapter of the Prophet Nahum, where it is said: WHat doe you imagine against God?
A07467	Tell me if there bee any power or authority in the bookes of Exorcismes to force vs to take a true and a binding oath, answere mee now to this?
A07467	That night at supper Belzebub did nothing but grumble, and father Francis Billet said vnto him, Why doest thou snarle thus?
A07467	The Scripture teacheth vs these two points: the first in Ieremy, Inscrutabile est cor hominis,& quis cognoscet illud?
A07467	The good theefe of his owne accord confessed his sinne, and reproued his companion, What?
A07467	The other said, And how is the body heere, when it is said, that he sitteth at the right hand of God?
A07467	The same day in the euening was Magdalene exorcised by Mr. Paule, whereupon Belzebub being demanded whither the Diuell did torment Magicians or no?
A07467	The tables of great personages are abundantly profuse in delicacies, but what agreemēt is there betwixt Christ and Belial?
A07467	Then Belzebub began to cry: what, vnder the feete of men?
A07467	Then did the said father r ● ply, Cursed spirit, art thou not ashamed to resist thy God and thy Creator?
A07467	Then father Michaelis asked him, Quod tibi nomen: he answered, Leuiathan: Then he demanded of him againe; How many are there in her?
A07467	Then he added, what, doe madd women receaue the Communion?
A07467	Then he cried out as loud as he could: b who dares deny that Diuels may speake truth?
A07467	Then he said, will you not suffer mee to talke, who am an instrument in the discouery of these witches?
A07467	Then he spake in a great rage to her that was possessed, and said: What thinkest thou Louyse?
A07467	Then he spake to i Magdalene, and said; Well Magdalene, are you satisfied now?
A07467	Then hee confirmed this speech with a solemne oath, and after said, to what vse and purpose are wholesome waters if there be none to drinke of them?
A07467	Then said Belzebub, sir, you vnderstand it not, because you will not, knowe you not what Contremiscis meaneth: it is, why tremble you not?
A07467	Then said Leuiathan, What haue I to doe with this preacher?
A07467	Then said Verrine, wilt thou take an oath, as I will, affirming that there is but one God, one Baptisme, and one Church?
A07467	Then said the Diuell, can God compell a Diuell to deliuer truth?
A07467	Then said the Huguenot, q how prooue you that God hath commanded vs to pray to Saints?
A07467	Then shall they answere and say: What?
A07467	Then the Sub- priour said, Are not we to commit any mortall sinne by our Rule?
A07467	There are Angels, and there are Preachers, is it not so?
A07467	Thē Verrine addressing his speech to God, said: n What, Lord?
A07467	Thinke ye not that God is exceedingly incensed by these audacious prouocations?
A07467	Thou art he that doest suggest vnto the Nobility: What sir?
A07467	Thou art well skilled in latin, is this latin of the vulgar kinde or not?
A07467	Thou doest also suggest vnto them; what sir?
A07467	Thou hast inueagled thousands from him, and thinkest thou that hee will euer dissemble this?
A07467	To this Leuiathan replyed, are there not other Ambassadours?
A07467	To this he said, I am not yet satisfied in this point, but tell mee, how prooue you there is a Purgatory?
A07467	To this the Gentle- man said, How prooue you that the Church was the true Church?
A07467	To what end doe you exhaust your selues with studying, and doe so painefully imploy your selues in reading of bookes?
A07467	To what purpose doe men exorcise, and make interrogatories vnto diuels, if their replies be never consonant vnto truth?
A07467	To which Belzebub replied: Why should I worship this God?
A07467	To which Verrine answered, Doe not you your selues pray sometimes one for another?
A07467	Verrine added: Magdalene, tell me, didst thou neuer see k the Diuels?
A07467	Verrine answered him, it is an Article of your Creede; if you be wiser then God, why goe you not and pluck him from his Throane?
A07467	Verrine answered, z Why doest thou thus intreat mee?
A07467	Verrine being put to the question in these words, Cur miser vt soleb as non contremiscis?
A07467	Verrine further said vnto him: And of what religion art thou?
A07467	Verrine replied, Accursed spirit, darest thou sweare as I will?
A07467	Verrine said, Dost thou beleeue the true Church which is the Church of Rome, I know thou dost not beleeue it?
A07467	Verrine then said vnto him, What wouldest thou haue mee answere vnto?
A07467	Vnto these wee may propose the question, which Saint Athanasius once did to Arrius, Si quis Sathanam adoret, rectene an malé fecerit?
A07467	Vt, quid venisti ante tempus ● orquere nos?
A07467	WHether it be lawfull for a woman to discourse and reason in a Church?
A07467	Was it euer heard of before, that the Diuell should come to reprehend sinners?
A07467	Was it for your selfe alone?
A07467	What Belzebub, art thou returned?
A07467	What a ● hame will it be, that any should not be conuerted, whē ● he Diuell himselfe exhorteth them thereunto?
A07467	What doth the father then?
A07467	What doth this father then?
A07467	What hast thou then to do to present such to thy Sonne, who is puritie it selfe?
A07467	What inducement leadeth thee to be distrustfull of the bountie and mercie of thy Redeemer?
A07467	What is now become of thy strength?
A07467	What man can heere excuse himselfe?
A07467	What ought we then to cōceiue of Diuels, being adiured in the power of the name of God?
A07467	What saiest thou Louyse?
A07467	What saiest thou?
A07467	What say ye?
A07467	What seekest thou further?
A07467	What should become of the miserable sinner, if that all the Saints had liued in innocency?
A07467	What wilt thou with me, for thou hast called me?
A07467	What, Lord?
A07467	What?
A07467	What?
A07467	What?
A07467	What?
A07467	What?
A07467	What?
A07467	What?
A07467	What?
A07467	What?
A07467	What?
A07467	What?
A07467	What?
A07467	Whe ● her Witches doe vse their staffe and oyntment that they may be transported and carried in the ayre?
A07467	Where are thy braues and forces now?
A07467	Where is her penance?
A07467	Where is thy Credo, Magdalen?
A07467	Where lieth the fault?
A07467	Where was his Crowne, where was his Scepter, where were his hangings of Tapistry?
A07467	Where were the Caroches?
A07467	Where were the horses?
A07467	Where were thy easie Litters to carry her?
A07467	Whether Henry the great, the fourth of that name be saued?
A07467	Whether Henry the great, the fourth of that name bee saued?
A07467	Whether Magicians make a Circle, or no?
A07467	Whether Salomon be damned, and Nabuchodonosor saued?
A07467	Whether Salomon bee damned, and Nabuchodonosor saued?
A07467	Whether Witches goe in the ayre?
A07467	Whether it be lawfull to write letters vnto Saints in Paradise?
A07467	Whether it bee lawfull that a woman should speake and preach in the Church, since that Saint Paul forbiddeth a woman to speake there?
A07467	Whether it behooues vs to beleeue all the Diuell saith?
A07467	Whether the Diuell can make men renounce God and their Baptisme?
A07467	Whether the Diuell may pray to God for to saue sinners?
A07467	Whether there be Incubi and Succubi?
A07467	Whether we are to beleeue all the Deuill saith?
A07467	Whether witches worship the Diuel in the forme of a Goate?
A07467	Who reuealed vnto you that the King of glory was there?
A07467	Who without great difficultie would give credite vnto them?
A07467	Who would euer haue affirmed, that such a one as shee should bee the Mother of Almighty God?
A07467	Who would euer haue thought that her Sonne which she carried in her armes had beene the liuing God, Creator of Heauen and Earth?
A07467	Why art thou so fond ouer them; is not thy blessed Mother in heauen with an infinite number of Saints and Angels?
A07467	Why doe you rather chuse to lauish away your time, then to pray for the health of your soules?
A07467	Why is it, that those that are possessed be exorcised, if it bee not auaileable, and if the Diuell can not speake truth?
A07467	Why saiest thou thy Credo, if thou beleeuest not what I haue spoken?
A07467	Why therefore should you tremble at afflictions, troubles, persecutions, or whatsoeuer may deiect and make you humble?
A07467	Wilt thou exorcise Louyse, when shee is not possessed?
A07467	Wilt thou play with him as a bird, and tye a thread about his legg to keep him in, or to let him fly at thy pleasure?
A07467	Wilt thou sweare according to the meaning of the Catholicke, Apostolicke and Romane Church, said Verrine?
A07467	Wilt thou vse the ministry of a Diuell in a businesse of this importance?
A07467	Wilt thou yet make head against thy Captaine?
A07467	Witnesse Paul, when hee heard the voyce, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou mee?
A07467	You haue the Prince of Magicke in your hands, will not this satisfie you?
A07467	You know full wel, that you pray for your Kings and Princes, and doe you conceite, that there is lesse charity in Paradise?
A07467	You that goe to Church to heare Masse, are to say, Soule whether goest thou?
A07467	You will heere obiect: What, is there silthinesse in Paradise?
A07467	all things are subiected vnto thy will, for doe thou but speake the word, and what is there that dareth resist thee?
A07467	alleaging that God hath spoken by his Prophet: Repent, for if you doe not repent, you shall die the death: Who dares say that this is not true?
A07467	although in saying thus, what noueltie doe I speake?
A07467	and did not the Apostles also serue their turnes with them, by commanding them, as they thought good?
A07467	are not you a great counsellor?
A07467	are not you a great familiar of the Kings?
A07467	are there not Preachers enough?
A07467	are you thirsty?
A07467	can Christ Iesus bee subiect to thirst, and such naturall infirmities?
A07467	can you giue away that which you haue not?
A07467	can you haue any affiance in Deuils?
A07467	can you not with as much ease chuse a Palace?
A07467	could so great a Lord as you stand in need of any thing?
A07467	could you be naked?
A07467	cui Christus exploratus sine Spiritu Sancto?

A07467	did hee not rise the third day?
A07467	did not Christ Iesus himselfe the same?
A07467	doe not you moderate the scales of Iustice?
A07467	doe you not meane to defend your reputation?
A07467	doest thou not know that he is able to raise the dead?
A07467	dost thou looke to draw mens attention vnto thee?
A07467	doth God interchange commerce of language and conference with a Diuell?
A07467	doth he fall a beating of him?
A07467	doth he threaten and chide him?
A07467	doth not God sometimes vse them?
A07467	especially if hee haue from his youth liued in some religious Order, and obserued the rules and precepts of his Superiors?
A07467	hast thou no feare of God?
A07467	hath not euery one a staffe in his hand, whereon to leane and support himselfe, which is the will?
A07467	haue I need of the counsell of men, much lesse the aduice of Diuels?
A07467	haue you not?
A07467	how can God who is the center of all perfections, haue vpon him such an impotency in nature?
A07467	how good, how bountifull, and how sweet art thou?
A07467	how wretched shall you be if you doe not serue him with all fidelity?
A07467	if it were so, why might it not as well fall out vpon some other day?
A07467	is Lucifer greater ● hen I?
A07467	is he not a man, nay, is hee not a sinner as well as I?
A07467	is not his body glorified?
A07467	is this a bagge that neuer shutteth?
A07467	meate for wormes, and a pitcher of hansome earth, apt to breake, and subiect to a thousand miseries and mischances?
A07467	must k the Diuels acquaint you with the verie meanes?
A07467	must thou haue a Diuell to be thy Physitian, Apothecarie, and Surgeon?
A07467	must thou haue a Diuell to conuert thee?
A07467	my God, with what aboundant mercy hast thou brought back my soule from Hell, and endowed it with thy sanctified grace?
A07467	o Why should I praise him, whom I would, if it lay in my power, willingly disseate from the place he holdeth?
A07467	or to what end are these bookes of Exorcisines published?
A07467	q You will aske mee, how or by what meanes is hee there?
A07467	s Then he said, accursed wretches, do you deeme that the trauells of Preachers are nothing?
A07467	s Who will beleeue that the Diuell should thus endeuour to conuert Magdalene and the Magician?
A07467	said he not, that the Saints in heauen should no more hunger and thirst?
A07467	shall I goe any where from hence?
A07467	shall not the eternall Father haue regard vnto his Son, equall vnto him in power, wisedome, and bountie?
A07467	speakest thou nothing?
A07467	then he cried with a loud voice, Magicians& witches, God confound the whole rout of you: what seeke you heere in this Church?
A07467	thinke ye that God will suffer this iniquitie to branch vp higher?
A07467	thinkest thou that thou disputest with the woman heere?
A07467	thou must now beleeue Magdalen, dost thou looke for miracles, as many others doe?
A07467	to cast him headlong into hell?
A07467	wee could not come if wee were all at home, and how shall we now( when wee are but few) venture vpon that which many would not dare to vndergoe?
A07467	were you a hungrie?
A07467	were you thirstie?
A07467	what am I, that I should receiue such manifold blessings at thy hands?
A07467	what meane you to doe with your selfe?
A07467	what meanest thou to doe?
A07467	what of me, that haue so often transgressed against thee?
A07467	what saw you in him to draw you to such an action so derogatory( as it might haue seemed) from your States?
A07467	where are those gnawings and remorses of conscience?
A07467	where are those sighes which a penitent woman ought to haue?
A07467	where was the royall bed?
A07467	wherein haue they been seruiceable vnto thee?
A07467	who gaue thee authority to doe it?
A07467	why doest thou suffer thy selfe to be exorcised, if neither by God, nor the tenents of the Church we are able to tell the truth?
A07467	why then should I declare my sinnes before a Priest?
A07467	will you goe into this countrey?
A07467	will you yeeld to him, you are noble and of an ancient stock, why will you abase your selfe before a fellow of such cheapenesse?
A07467	you are a fountaine that can neuer be drawne dry, you are a sea of waters; you are the seller of all sorts so excellent wines, and doe you cry Sitio?
A07467	you that are such an illuminate doctor, what is it you now say?
A42781	& c. Can such an Heart as thine be the Temple of the Holy Ghost?
A42781	''T is now time to speak to the other Question, which is, Whether and how far Satan knows things to come?
A42781	( When they propound that Question, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?)
A42781	( say they) can he judge through the dark clouds?
A42781	( where the account of that tempting is given)''t is said, because they tempted the Lord, saying, Is the Lord among us or not?
A42781	10. describes him by these neglects of Duty, Will he delight himself in the Almighty?
A42781	41. while some were convinced and said, This is the Christ, others said, shall Christ come out of Galilee?
A42781	9. Who can know it?
A42781	A Proud Heart will readily say, our Tongue is our own, or who is the Lord?
A42781	A tedious task?
A42781	Am I a Sea, or a Whale, that thou settest a Watch over me?
A42781	Among the Papists what less can be expected, when the same principle is entertained among them?
A42781	And can you think to break away from me so easily?
A42781	And then he Queries, Art thou such an one?
A42781	And then to what purpose( say they) is Prayer, or any endeavours?
A42781	Are not these unreasonable injunctions, Pray continually, Pray without ceasing; Preach in season and out of season?
A42781	Art thou not grown stupid, and senseless of all the hazards that are before thee?
A42781	Art thou not ready to tax him for dealing thus with thee?
A42781	Art thou that Prophet, and that Man ordained to Judg the World?
A42781	As David said to the Woman of Tekoah, Is not the hand of Joab with thee in all this?
A42781	At what a loss is an unskilful Travellour, where so many wayes meet?
A42781	Besides( saith he) thou knowest the secret thoughts that thy Heart is privy to, do they not boyl up in thy Breast against God?
A42781	Besides, who can tell how much of God''s restraining grace may ly in this, of God''s limiting and straitning Satan''s Commission?
A42781	But Enquiry may be made, When do men run( uncalled and) unwarrantably upon Temptation?
A42781	But I have done so, and yet the Temptation is the same, and still continues?
A42781	But O how sadly is all this hindered by the disquiet of the Heart?
A42781	But how few are there that do thus know?
A42781	But how happy would it be for Men, if such failures of expectation might better inform them?
A42781	But how is it consistent with Truth that the Temptation should continue, when James tells us, that Satan will fly upon Resistance?
A42781	But it will be said, Satan pretends to this Rule, and it is Scripture that is urged by him?
A42781	But some( possibly) may say, Is it our Duty to sit still in such a case?
A42781	But the great Question is, What is this fear that is forbidden, and the Courage which is enjoined?
A42781	But the great difficulty is, how it may be known when Temptations are from Satan, and when from our selves?
A42781	But what occasioned all this?
A42781	But when we come to an impartial consideration of our manifold weaknesses and insufficiences in reference to these Services, what shall we say?
A42781	But who then inflames and stirs up the Heart to this Wickedness?
A42781	But you will say, Must all Men be confident of Adoption?
A42781	But( it may be further urged) must we when all Means fail, positively Trust in God for those very things which we might expect in an ordinary way?
A42781	But( may some say) If I judge such a motion to be a thing lawful, which doth proceed from Satan, What am I to do?
A42781	By this means he may widen the distance betwixt God and us, keep our Wounds open, make us a reproach to Religion: And what not?
A42781	Can Christ lodg in an Heart so full of horrid Blasphemies against him?
A42781	Can God prepare a Table in the Wilderness?
A42781	Can the Gifts of Enemies pass for Courtesies and Favours with any, but such as are bewitched into a blockish madness?
A42781	Can we reckon how often Satan hath been at this work?
A42781	Canst thou deny this?
A42781	David resolved, and strenuously endeavoured, to possess his Soul in Serenity and Patience,( for what could be more, than solemn engagement?
A42781	Did I not compel Peter to deny his Lord, notwithstanding his solemn profession to the contrary?
A42781	Did I not force those that were stronger than you?
A42781	Did I not make David number the People?
A42781	Did I not overcome him in the matter of Uriah?
A42781	Did the Heathen erect Images and Pillars, or keep the Ashes and Shrines of their Daemons?
A42781	Did the Heathen expect more particular aids from some of these Daemons in several cases than from others?
A42781	Doth he not carry a Design in his Mind for Months and Years against us?
A42781	Doth he not come again and again, with often and impudently repeated Importunities?
A42781	Eightly, Satan urged some of them in a during provoking way; If thou be the Son of God?
A42781	Every Christian should say, shall such an one as I fly?
A42781	First, from an Ignorance of the thing it self: how easily may they be Imposed upon, who know not the nature, or the usual Issues of things?
A42781	First; Whether Satan knows our Thoughts?
A42781	For can it be imagined in good earnest that Satan intends us a real good?
A42781	For who can alter his Decree?
A42781	For who can easily bear the noise of Satan while he shouts continually into their Ears odious Calumnies, and Blasphemous Indignities against God?
A42781	For why should God look upon thee more than another?
A42781	God himself owns it as a natural impossibility, Can the Ethiopian change his skin?
A42781	God''s question concerning Job, Hast thou considered my Servant Job?
A42781	Had the Heathen their Feasts, their Statas ferias to their Daemons?
A42781	Had the Heathens their dead Hero''s for Agents''twixt the supream Gods and Men?
A42781	Had they any more Holiness than they needed?
A42781	Had they their Februalia& Proserpinilia with Torches and Lights?
A42781	Hath the Lord forgotten to be Gracious?
A42781	Have any of the Rulers, or of the Pharisees believed on him?
A42781	Have they been able to rescue themselves?
A42781	Have those that have gone before you been able to deliver themselves from me?
A42781	He clave the Rock, but can he provide Flesh?
A42781	He complains as one utterly forsaken, Why hast thou forsaken me?
A42781	He is a jealous God, and will by no means acquit the guilty; Canst thou then with any shew of reason, conclude thy self to be his Child?
A42781	His Interrogation, Will the Lord cast off for ever,& c?
A42781	How astonishingly doth Spira speak to this purpose?
A42781	How canst thou deny this?
A42781	How come Men to put on a savage Nature, to act the part of Lions, Leopards, Tigars, if not much worse?
A42781	How common is it with them to play tricks with Women troubled with Hysterical Distempers?
A42781	How couragiously did they suffer the sharpest Torments?
A42781	How do ye stand?
A42781	How doth God know?
A42781	How easily he got him to the roof of the house in order to the Object to be presented to him?
A42781	How easily then is it for Satan to set our thoughts off our Work?
A42781	How easily then may Satan possess the Fancies of Men with Blasphemies?
A42781	How fair do they lye open to any conceit that may serve this end?
A42781	How fitly doth he resemble us to Children?
A42781	How frequently did the Prophets tax the Jews for this, that they fasted to themselves?
A42781	How frequently is this seen among Professors, where the Word hath a searching power and force upon them?
A42781	How grateful and welcome the confident proffers of ease and satisfaction are to a tossed and disquieted mind any Man will easily imagine?
A42781	How grievous must it be to a Child of God, to have his Ear chained to these intollerable ingrateful Reproaches?
A42781	How hard is it to conclude, what is the Minimum quod sic; the lowest degrees of true Grace?
A42781	How he directs his Eye, wrought upon his Passions, suggested the Thought, contrived the Conveniencies?
A42781	How impossible is it to cast up the total Sum of so many large Items?
A42781	How is Satan pleased to labour in a Design that will kindle the Wrath of the Almighty?
A42781	How like a Convert did Saul look, after David had convinced him of his integrity, and had spared his life in the Cave?
A42781	How little can a sickly Body do?
A42781	How many have I known, that have been tortured with these Texts, judging their Estate fearful, because of their wilfulness in sinning?
A42781	How many have apostatised from Truth( being terrifyed by the urging necessities of danger) contrary to the highest Convictions of Conscience?

A42781	How often have I heard Christians complaining thus?
A42781	How open are the Breasts of troubled Creatures to all these Darts?
A42781	How quickly had this Leaven spread it self in the Church of Galatia, even to Paul''s wonder?
A42781	How sad is this Trouble?
A42781	How severely did Christ condemn the Pharisees upon the same account?
A42781	How shameful and abominable were the Lives of John of Leyden, and the rest of those German Enthusiasts?
A42781	How slyly and secretly doth he put us upon what he intends as a further snare?
A42781	How suddenly are all things changed?
A42781	How weak and childish are Sinners that suffer themselves thus to be abused?
A42781	I said I will look to my ways, and what endeavours could be more severe, than to keep himself as with Bit and Bridle?
A42781	I see sin is a strong in me as ever?
A42781	If Art can do all this, how much more may we suppose can Satan do?
A42781	If Men give way to this, what reason can be imagined to stand before them?
A42781	If a Man sets his Face toward Heaven, thus he endeavours to scare him off; Is not( saith he) the way of Religion a dull, melancholy way?
A42781	If all these particulars be weighed, what presumptuous act can be propounded by Satan which Pride may not lead to?
A42781	If any put that Question to him, which the Jews did to Christ; By what Authority dost thou these things?
A42781	If any question, how can these things be?
A42781	If any yet further enquire, how he can do these things?
A42781	If but few are saved, a thousand to one thou art none of them?
A42781	If it be demanded, How and by what Arts he renders the Means so plausible?
A42781	If it be questioned, What Satan''s Authority is?
A42781	If it was so great a mischief to Eve in Innocency( as hath been said) to delay her peremptory denial, of how much greater hazard is it to us?
A42781	If not, where is thy Grace?
A42781	If the Shallow Brooks be too strong for us, what shall we do in the swellings of Jordan?
A42781	If these Priviledges and Mercies will not discourage Satan, what will?
A42781	If thou beest indeed such as he testifyed, give some proof of it?
A42781	If we look into our selves we find it true, to our no small trouble and hazard: Doth he at any time easily desist, when we give him a Repulse?
A42781	If we slacken our Care never so little they recoyle, and tend to their old Byas; and how easie is it for him to take off our hand?
A42781	In Popery nothing hath been more ordinary; who knows not the Story of the Holy Maid of Kent, and the Boy of Bilson?
A42781	In other places of the World, how long such things continued, who can tell, especially seeing they were found at Carolina not so very long since?
A42781	In the Apostles times, how quickly had the Devil broached false Doctrine?
A42781	Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress?
A42781	Is it not Satan?
A42781	Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to enquire of Baalzebub?
A42781	Is it possible it should be Washed and Sanctified, when it produceth such filthy cursed thoughts?
A42781	Is not here the Voice of a despairing Man?
A42781	Is not this Scripture?
A42781	Is not this thy fear, thy Confidence, thy Hope, and the uprightness of thy ways?
A42781	Is not thy Heart hardned to everlasting destruction?
A42781	Is there any sorrow like to my sorrow?
A42781	Is there knowledg in the most High?
A42781	It is not a toile?
A42781	Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be Reproabates?
A42781	Let it( I say) be left to the consideration of Men, how it should be, without some such extraordinary Cause as hath been mentioned?
A42781	Lord, why castest thou off my Soul, why hidest thou thy Face from me?
A42781	Many such fits David had, and in them, complained at this rate, Why hast thou forsaken me?
A42781	My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A42781	Nay how impossible is it, to make that expression of the Apostle,[ he was tempted in all points like as we are,] to agree to an imaginary Temptation?
A42781	Now, albeit there are arguments at hand, and serious considerations to deter us from practice, yet how are all laid aside by a quick resolve?
A42781	O Fiatres adjuvate me, nepeream, nonne vid ● tis Daemonum agmina, qui me debellare,& ad Tartara ducere festinaut, quid hic astas cruenta bestia?
A42781	Of the same extract is that old song of the Papists, Where was your Religion before Luther?
A42781	Or the Maximum quod sic; the highest degree of sin, consistant with true Grace?
A42781	Or, If I have, what is that to you?
A42781	Or, what will become of me?
A42781	Quis est ille Deus, ut serviam illi?
A42781	Satan goes on: What greater evidence can there be of an hardned Heart, than Impenitency?
A42781	Secondly, But in things doubtful, where there is not a clear certainly, what is Truth?
A42781	Shall we Sin, that Grace may abound?
A42781	Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
A42781	Shall we think it strange that Satan hath ways of conveying false apprehensions upon Mens minds?
A42781	Sixthly, All this might be futher proved by Instances: What Temptation can be named wherein Satan hath not acted as a Serpent?
A42781	So here is also an evident respect to God''s Testimony concerning, Christ, as if he had said, hath God said, thou art his Son?
A42781	So may we say, is not the hand of Satan with thee in every Sin thou committest?
A42781	So that if Adam in Innocency understood the Nature of Things, how much more exactly and fully must we imagine Satan to know them?
A42781	Solomon''s exclamination, a wounded Spirit who can bare?
A42781	Some make enquiry what may be the difference betwixt a wounded Spirit, in the Regenerate and the Reprobate?
A42781	Some may possibly question, Whether all extraordinary Agonies of Soul, upon the apprehension of eternal Damnation, be not the fruits of Melancholy?
A42781	The Devil expresseth a disdain and scorn of our weak opposition, as Goliah did of David, Am I a Dog, that thou comest to me with Staves?
A42781	The Devil suggests, Can God be faithful, and never keep Promise for help?
A42781	The Heart is deceitful above all things: But why is the deceitfulness fixed upon the Heart?
A42781	The Heavens are not clean in his sight, how much more abominable and filthy then art thou?
A42781	The Scripture affords enough of this nature, as the Boast of Nebuchadnezzar; Is not this great Babel that I have built?
A42781	The Wrath of God expressed to the Conscience, brings the greatest Terrour; Who knows the power of thine Anger?
A42781	The acknowledgment of the Witches Power,[ Why hast thou disquieted me?]
A42781	Therefore say they unto God, Depart from us, for we desire not the knowledge of thy wayes; who is the Almighty that we should serve him?
A42781	These if they meet with Pains or Troubles,( and who can challenge an exemption from them?)
A42781	Thirdly; That Malice must needs be great, that will pursue a small matter: what small game will the Devil play, rather than altogether sit out?
A42781	This disorder of Thoughts Christ took notice of in his Disciples when they were in danger, Why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
A42781	This may put Men upon enquiries, who are ye for?
A42781	This was the Voice of Pride in Pharaoh, Who is the Lord, that I should serve him?
A42781	Thou canst not mourn enough?
A42781	Though I speak, my Grief is not asswaged; and though I forbear, what am I eased?
A42781	Thus he pleads it; Can any thing be more plain, than that thou hast eaten and drunken unworthily?
A42781	Thus he urgeth it, Can any thing be more plainly and fully asserted?
A42781	To come without an Heart, or with our Idols in our Heart, is it any thing of less scorn than to say, Tush, doth the most High see?
A42781	To what purpose is the multitude of your Sacrifices?
A42781	Upon this supposition, that these Texts speak of wilful sinning in the General; How little can be said against Satan''s Argument?
A42781	Upon this the Devil starts the question to his Heart, whether it be not better to forbear all Duty, and to do nothing?
A42781	Was he real in that command, that you should not Eat at all,& c. the like he doth to Christ, Is it true?
A42781	Was it that Satan thought to prevail against him?
A42781	We can scarce imagine what ways he hath to divert and hinder them, by what private discouragements he doth defer them, who can tell?
A42781	Were it not better to work with our hands for a Morsel of Bread, for so might our Sleep be sweet to us at Night, and we should not see these sorrows?
A42781	Were we free, what Calling would we not rather chuse?
A42781	What Songs of rejoycing had they?
A42781	What a fit of affection had the Israelites when their Eyes had seen that miraculous deliverance at the Red Sea?
A42781	What a stupifaction are our Spirits capable of?
A42781	What better have the Familists, and Libertines of New and Old England been?
A42781	What can Humility, Modesty, and sense of Guilt, speak in such a case?
A42781	What could be more the Devil''s design, and Esau''s satisfaction, than to have had Jacob slain?
A42781	What duty is there that is not neglected or defiled?
A42781	What expectation could he have to prevail against him, who was Anointed with the Oyl of Gladness above his Fellows?
A42781	What fear and jealousie must this produce?
A42781	What greater hinderance can there be to Conversion, than Errour?
A42781	What grief of heart?
A42781	What have I do with thee?
A42781	What is Christian Reproof, if it be not rightly suited to season, and opportunity?
A42781	What is this untowardness, but desperate obdurateness?
A42781	What progress then in this work of delusion might be expected, when they were all removed out of the World?
A42781	What rages, outrages, Madnesses, and extravagances have Men run into?
A42781	What shall we say of these things?
A42781	What shall we say to these things?
A42781	What strange answers Spira gave to those that pleaded with him?
A42781	What then canst thou think of thy self, but that thou art a damned Wretch?
A42781	What traditionary imitations had they of the Creation recorded in the Book of Genesis?
A42781	What unspeakable hindrance must this be to Paul?
A42781	What was Montanus but an impure wretch?
A42781	What were his two companion Prophetesses, Priscilla, and Maximilla, but infamous Adulteresses?
A42781	What work do we see in Families when an Errour creeps in among them?
A42781	When a stronger than he cometh, who can expect less but that he should be more quiet?
A42781	When they sleep, he awakens them with a piercing rebuke, Could ye not watch with me one hour?
A42781	When we urge a Divine Prohibition against a Temptation, what can he say in Answer?
A42781	Whence came the Doctrine of Purgatory, but from hence?
A42781	Where are the Gods of Hamath — that the Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
A42781	Where speaking, that our unrighteousness did commend the righteousness of God, he falls upon that reply, Why then am I judged as a sinner?
A42781	Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not?
A42781	Whether all distresses of Soul arise from Melancholy?
A42781	Which, how apt it is( when fretted with Vexation) to entertain harsh thoughts of God?
A42781	While they were in the highest admiration of the kindness, saying, What shall I render to the Lord?
A42781	Who can say, he is certainly excluded out of God''s Decree?
A42781	Who can suppose less in this matter, than that Satan, having him at advantage, hurried him to this rashness?
A42781	Who can understand it truly, but he that feels it?
A42781	Who could be more confident than Peter, that he would not deny his Master, whatever others did, and yet how soon did his Heart fail him?
A42781	Who could have thought Joash had been so much under Satan''s power, that had observed his ways all the time of Je oiada the Priest?
A42781	Who hath wrought all this but Satan?
A42781	Who is weak, and I am not weak?
A42781	Who reads the story of Hacket, and Coppinger, without detestation of their wicked Practices?
A42781	Who shall be able to open the depths of it?
A42781	Who shall declare it fully to the Sons of Men, to bring these hidden things to light?
A42781	Who suspects not the hand of Satan in this?
A42781	Who then is the proper Author of Deceit but he?
A42781	Who will neglect a spark upon dry Tinder,( that would not have it consumed) and not instantly put it out?
A42781	Who will permit Leaven to remain in that Mass, which he desires may not be leavened, and not quickly remove it?
A42781	Who will suffer a seditious Incendiary in an Army, formerly inclined to Mutiny?
A42781	Who would not be weary of their Lives, that must be forced to undergo this Vexation still without intermission?
A42781	Who would not wonder to hear the Replies that some will give to the arguings of their Friends, that labour to comfort them?
A42781	Why art thou cast down, O my Soul?
A42781	Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my Roaring?
A42781	Why castest thou off my Soul?
A42781	Why castest thou off my Soul?
A42781	Why did I not give up the ghost, when I came out of the belly?)
A42781	Why died I not from the Womb?
A42781	Why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us?
A42781	Will the Lord cast off for ever?
A42781	With what Face or Hope can we expect from God help against these, when we provoke him to leave us to our selves, by indulging our selves in the other?
A42781	With what confidence and security will Sin be practised when an Opinion signs a Warrant, and pleads a Justification for it?
A42781	Would Wise, Sober, holy Men have said or done such things, if they had not been transported beyond themselves?
A42781	Would he continue them long under their sorrows, or take them upon all occasions at his pleasure, or act them to a greater height than ordinary?
A42781	Would he terrifie by Fears, or distress by Sadness?
A42781	Would it then be fit to give Satan this advantage?
A42781	Ye shall know them by their Fruits: Do Men gather Grapes of Thornes, or Figs of Thistles?
A42781	You may say, What is there of direction for us in this Case?
A42781	You will say, How must we try?
A42781	and a condition which will make you a terrour to your selves, and a burthen to others?
A42781	and also concludes him to be wicked, Who ever perished being innocent?
A42781	and brought forth fruit to themselves?
A42781	and by putting out his Power do a thousand things astonishing and wonderful?
A42781	and can this be Errour, where there is so much Holiness?
A42781	and commits a rape by a malicious violence upon their Imaginations?
A42781	and if not, then what may the difference be betwixt those that proceed from Melancholy, and those that are properly the Terrours of Conscience?
A42781	and in such cases, what can ordinarily hinder a belief that they hear or see such things?
A42781	and such Hatred, Contradictions, Scorns, and Injuries from Enemies?
A42781	and that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands?
A42781	and the Sabbath, that we may set forth Wheat?
A42781	and then''t is easy for the Devil to add, And why do you wait on the Lord any longer?
A42781	and to pretend the casting out of Devils, when they have only to deal with a natural Disease?
A42781	and where were the righteous cut off?
A42781	and wherefore am I thus disquieted with Monsters?
A42781	and who knoweth us?
A42781	and who shall deliver thee out of my hand?
A42781	and why art thou disquieted within me?
A42781	and yet what more presumptuous?
A42781	are not his Mercies clean gone?
A42781	are they all Damned?
A42781	can he be merciful when he turns away his ears from the cry of the miserable?
A42781	can you be in love with an heart loaden with grief, and perpetual fears almost to distraction?
A42781	can you eat Ashes for Bread, and mingle your Drink with Tears?

A85783	Sad stories we have of Saints falls, and what follows?
A85783	Satan in the heart shut out Satan at the door?
A85783	Satan sets much by this slight; no weapon oftener in his hand: where is the Christian that hath not met him at this door?

A85783	Secondly, are Satan and thy own flesh against thee, not single corruption, but edged with his policy, and backed by his power?
A85783	Secondly, take heed of abusing this doctrine unto a liberty to sin; shall we sin because grace abounds?

A85783	Some propound a question, whether there be a sin committed in the world, in which Satan hath not a part?
A85783	Speak for your selves, O ye Saints, is self- preservation all you pray for, and heare for?
A85783	Speak, O ye hypocrites, can ye shew one tear that ever you shed in earnest for a wrong done to God?
A85783	Surely, the Christian findes it in his heart to will and desire he could meditate, pray, heare, and live after another sort then this, doth he not?
A85783	The Canaanites with their neighbour- Nations were bread for Israel, though people famous for warre; and why?

A85783	Thirdly, to whom goest thou for protection?
A85783	This evil is of the Lord, why should I wait on the Lord any longer?
A85783	This is not the good Steward, here is the old, but where are the new things which he should bring out of his treasure?

A85783	Thou hast troden down all that erre from thy statutes, and who( think you) will be weary soonest?
A85783	Thou sayest, thou meanest at last to do it, then why not now?
A85783	Thus many will say, Art thou so curious and precise?
A85783	Thy heart good, sinner?

A85783	Was not Job the Devils hypocrite, whom God vouch''t for a non- such in holinesse, and prov''d him so at last?
A85783	We are bid ro lift up our voice like a trumpet, and would you have us cease while the battel lasts, or sound a retreat when it shou''d be a battel?
A85783	We will go into such a city, and buy, and sell, and get gaine: Hath not thy heart said, I will go and hear such a man, and get comfort, get strength?
A85783	We will not have this man reigne over us, what is the Almighty that we should serve him?
