A16739	Yea, and perhaps a choppe on his necke, that may cost him his head: but what, shall we speake in rime?
A16739	an ● dooth not euery Cocke kéepe with his Henne?
A16739	and be they not obedient to his commaundement?
A16739	and came not Christ h ● mselfe from heauen, to saue sinners from hell?
A16739	and for knowledge, how many Fathers haue not only begot, but bredde theyr owne Children?
A16739	and how base a villaine is that begger, that makes an art of his rogery?
A16739	and how many a man, that God know is, knoweth not his owne childe, but labours to maintaine the fru ● te of an others pleasures?
A16739	and last of all his acknowledging of his God, to whome hee is onely bounde for all his goodnesse?
A16739	and may not all these excellencies in the wit of man, aboue all creatures, proue the honor of man?
A16739	and what Cockatrice so venemous, as the eye of a leaud womon?
A16739	and what Gyant so great, but little Dauid could conquere him?
A16739	and what Indignitie was in all the Iewes, that sought ● he death of the sonne of God?
A16739	and what Whale so rauenous, but Ionas could get out of him?
A16739	and what misery such, but Iacobs patience did endure it?
A16739	and what sorrowe at a buriall?
A16739	and, how many Kings haue bene betraied by trayterous Rebels, and supposed subiects, yea be theyr owne seruants?
A16739	as in loue woulde first make him lyke himselfe, and then neuer cease to bestowe his daily and hourely blessings vppon him?
A16739	but to answere more particularly to each point: In his generation, is not his substance of y ● strength and almost life of the foure elements?
A16739	came not Gabriell the Arch- angell, with a message to the blessed Virgin Mary?
A16739	do they not feare his eye?
A16739	his place a hou ● e of darknesse, and his li ● ertie conioyned to a limit?
A16739	how dishonorable were So ● ome, and Gomorrah, who with the fi ● ● h of their concupis ● ence would haue pr ● ● sed vpon the Angelles?
A16739	how vngratious is that Farmer, that starues the poore people, and féeds the Rats with his corne?
A16739	how vnhonest is that labourer, who will not worke for his wages?
A16739	how vnworthy is that Lawier that pleades against conscience for coyne?
A16739	how vnworthy is that Marchant that plaies ● anquerou ● without néed?
A16739	or Eagle make a wing with the wisedome of Iohn the Euangelist?
A16739	or Serpent more deadly, then a malicious woman?
A16739	or the fish the Whale, his king?
A16739	or why loues the horse the Ryder, but for his good keeping and managing?
A16739	speaks more sweetly, or liues so vertuously?
A16739	the Instruments of warre, the treatise of peace, the harmonies of Musique, and the ditties of loue, are they not the deuise of man?
A16739	the ayre to breathe by, and to fill with?
A16739	the beast, the Lyon, his king?
A16739	the water to ● óole, and wet with?
A16739	to proue it more truly ● olly, then like Aesops dogge, to loose a bone for a shadow, or worse, comfort for sorrow?
A16739	tremble at his voice?
A16739	was he worthy to be a seruant, that would be a villaine to such ● maister?
A16739	was not Eilas carried into heauen in a whirle- wind?
A16739	what Foxe more subtill then a knaue?
A16739	what Indignitie it is to Counsellour, to be either f ● i ● hlesse to his King, or carelesse of his commaund?
A16739	what Indignitie of a Crowne shewed Pharaoh, when in the swelling pride of his power, he would oppose himselfe against the 〈 ◊ 〉 o ● Kings?
A16739	what Indignitie was in Iudas to b ● tray his m ● ister, Christ Iesus?
A16739	what Indignitie was in those Princes that ston ● s the Prophets, the Embassadors of heauens Emperor?
A16739	what Sowe more filthy then a Sl ● t?
A16739	what Sparrowe more luxurious then a Whore?
A16739	what Toade more venemous then a Villain?
A16739	what a dishonor t is to a souldier to betray his trust, to an enemy?
A16739	what care hath the husbande for his wife in her childe- bedde?
A16739	what daunger so great, but Iosuah would attempt it?
A16739	what dishonour in a subiect, to be disloy ● ll to his Prince?
A16739	what sayes Antonio?
A16739	what solemnitie at a Christening?
A16739	what wolfe more cruell then a Tyrant?
A16739	which met in a little matter, forme so excellent a creature?
A16739	yea euen vnto the Elements, who had their workings in his creation, to be now at his commaundement: hath he not the fire to warme and to heate with?
A53712	1. Who hath believed our report?
A53712	7. and yet are not able to accomplish their designs: What torture do such poor creatures live in?
A53712	9, 10. Who can know the heart?
A53712	A Sacrifice without an heart, without salt, without fire, of what value is it?
A53712	A deceiving and a deceived heart, who can deal with it?
A53712	Adoption is an especial fruit of it, and how great a priviledge is this?
A53712	And can we but be astonished at the power of that principle from whence it is, that they run headlong to their own destruction?
A53712	And do now the generality of Professors abide in this frame?
A53712	And doth this frame still abide upon them?
A53712	And how doth he exercise this merciful ability towards us?
A53712	And how little a portion of its deceitfulness is it that we have declared?
A53712	And what Promises are these?
A53712	And what can possible be more effectual for its ruine and destruction?
A53712	And what is the issue?
A53712	And what sayes he hereof?
A53712	And where doth this treasure lye?
A53712	Are we better than Lot, whose Righteous Soul was vexed with the evil deeds of ungodly men, and is thereof commended by the Holy Ghost?
A53712	Are we better than Noah, who had that testimony from God, that he was a perfect man in his Generation, and walked with God?
A53712	Are we more holy, wise, and watchful than David, who obtained this testimony, that he was a man after Gods own heart?
A53712	At least do they not prefer their ease, credit, safety, secular advantages before these things?
A53712	Be sober, be vigilant; and why so?
A53712	But how far are they appointed thus to carry them on, thus to build them up?
A53712	But is their course stopped, are their Principles altered?
A53712	But not to mention such open Apostates any farther, whose Hypocrisie the Lord Jesus Christ will ● ● ortly judge; how is it with the best?
A53712	But to what end and purpose doth he write these things to them, What do they teach, what do they tend unto?
A53712	But what and if oppositions and temptations do lie in the way, Satan and his instruments working with great subtilty and deceit?
A53712	But what is the end of these things?
A53712	But what need we look back or search for Instances to confirm the truth of this Observation?
A53712	But whence is it that they so do?
A53712	But why then will he have any thing more to do with them?
A53712	Can any one traverse the various mutability of his affections?
A53712	Did they not call the Sabbath their delight, and was not the approach of it a real joy unto their Souls?
A53712	Did they not contend earnestly for the Truth once delivered to the Saints, and every parcel of it?
A53712	Did they not long after the converse and communion of Saints?
A53712	Did we ever lose any thing by drawing nigh unto him?
A53712	Do the secret springs of acting and refusing in the soul, lie before the eyes of any man?
A53712	Do they find the same sweetness and relish in them as they have done of old?
A53712	Do you thus requite the Lord, O foolish people and unwise?
A53712	Doth any one know what will be the motions of the mind or will, in such and such conjunctions of things?
A53712	Doth he by any means take away their lives?
A53712	Doth he send his Angel to cut them off, like the Army of Senacherib afterwards?
A53712	Doth it set upon the soul?
A53712	Doth the Law of the mind command any thing as duty?
A53712	Doth this work the effect?
A53712	Enquire then how it is with your souls, what do you find of this Law, what experience have you of its power and efficacy?
A53712	For what are the vain transitory pleasures of sin, in comparison of the exceeding recompence of reward which is proposed unto us?
A53712	Hast thou any spiritual duty to perform, and dost thou design the attaining of any communion with God?
A53712	Hath any one the perfect measure of his own light and darkness?
A53712	Hath he been a Wilderness unto us, or a Land of Darkness?
A53712	Hath he not bid us welcome at our coming?
A53712	Hath he not made thee, and established thee?
A53712	Hath it bounds fixed to its work?
A53712	Hath not the World, and self utterly ruined their Profession?
A53712	Have we not received from him more than heart can conceive, or tongue express?
A53712	He can knock them on the head, or break out their teeth, or chain up their wrath, and who can oppose him?
A53712	He is continually saying to us, Why will you die?
A53712	Here is the whole design and use of the Gospel briefly expressed, These things, saith he, I write unto you; what things were these?
A53712	How can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?
A53712	How can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?
A53712	How precious hath the Word been to them formerly?
A53712	How sensible of sin will they be for a season?
A53712	How will they cordially and heartily resolve against it?
A53712	How will they then mourn and weep under a sense of the guilt of it?
A53712	In supposition of sin, that we have sinned, is there no relief provided for our souls and consciences in the Gospel?
A53712	Is Christ crucified for sin, and shall not our hearts be crucified with him unto sin?
A53712	Is it not a little one?
A53712	Is it not strange that a man should not do that which he chuseth, willeth, liketh, delighteth in?
A53712	Is not he the Fountain and Spring of all our mercies, of all our desirable things?
A53712	Is not he thy Father that bought thee?
A53712	Is the Understanding or the Mind to be applyed unto any thing?
A53712	Is the Will to be engaged, there it is also in spiritual deadness, stubborness, and the roots of obstinacy?
A53712	Is their Zeal for God as warm, living, vigorous, effectual, solicitous, as it was in their first giving themselves unto God?
A53712	Is there any thing more required to enable us unto that which is good?
A53712	Is there the same conscientious tenderness of sinning abiding in many as was in dayes of old?
A53712	Is this a requital for Eternal Love, and all the fruits of it?
A53712	It is weary before it begins, and says, when will the work be over?
A53712	May it not be said, Gray hairs are here and there upon them, and they perceive it not?
A53712	May not the same duty performed in publick, or in the Family suffice?
A53712	Nay, hath not therein lyen all the rest and peace which we have obtained?
A53712	Now is there no difficulty to get the mind into such a frame, as to lay out it self to the utmost in this work?
A53712	Now what can be worse than this Law of sin?
A53712	Now what is it to be tempted?
A53712	Now what is, or what are these ends?
A53712	Or better than Hezekiah, who appealed to God himself, that he had served him uprightly with a perfect heart?
A53712	Or rather, is there not a common, slight, selfish frame of spirit in the room of it come upon most Professors?
A53712	Rivers of water run down our eyes because men keep not thy Law?
A53712	Secondly, Is mens delight in the Ordinances& Worship of God the same as in former days?
A53712	Shall we give entertainment unto that, or hearken unto its dalliances, which wounded, which pierced, which slew our dear Lord Jesus?
A53712	Such a suiting of objects, such a pretension of reasonings, such an appearance of things desirable?
A53712	The same love to the brethren?
A53712	They answer by Peter, Lord, to whom shall we go, thou hast the words of eternal life?
A53712	This is the humble frame of soul ▪ and how is this obtained?
A53712	This way, this course of walking, doth well enough with others, why may it not do so with us also?
A53712	To draw out, and make use of its stores and furniture of promises and experiences?
A53712	Upon the urgency of his great temptation, he recoils immediately into this frame of spirit; How, saith he, can I do this thing, and sin against God?
A53712	Was it not of old a burthen to their spirits to hear the Name, and wayes, and Worship of God blasphemed and profaned?
A53712	Was then that which is good( that is, the Law) made death unto me?
A53712	Were not their souls solicitous about the Interest of Christ in the World, like Eli''s about the Ark?
A53712	Wha ● need we be all out so strict in the observation of the Sabbath?
A53712	What ails then our foolish and wretched hearts, to harbour such a cursed secret dislike of him and his ways?
A53712	What course doth God now take to obviate their conceived sin?
A53712	What have we found in God in any of our approaches or addresses unto him, that it should be thus with us?
A53712	What iniquity have we found in him?
A53712	What is the reason of this?
A53712	What joy and delight have they had in attendance thereon?
A53712	What need this distinction in hearing?
A53712	What need we hear so often?
A53712	What now is the genuine tendency of this doctrine, of this discovery of grace, and what ought we to use it and improve it unto?
A53712	What now shall hinder them from doing what ever they have imagined to do?
A53712	What profit is it, say they, if we slay our Brother and conceal his blood?
A53712	What shall we say then, shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
A53712	What spiritual wisdom do you stand in need of?
A53712	What strivings, struglings, and pleadings are there in the heart about them, especially against the spirituality of them?
A53712	What supplies of Grace, what assistance of the Holy Ghost will be hence also discovered?
A53712	What then shall be done in this case?
A53712	What use then ought we to make of this contemplation of the excellent unspeakable love of God?
A53712	Whence is it that men follow and pursue the world with so much greediness, that they neglect Heaven, and life, and immorrality for it every day?
A53712	Whence is it that some pursue their sensuality with delight, they will drink, and revel, and have their sports, let others say what they please?
A53712	Whence then is it that they do not all flourish and thrive accordingly?
A53712	Who can mention the treacheries and deceits that lie in the heart of man?
A53712	Why doth it oppose duty, so that the good we would do, we do not, either as to matter or manner?
A53712	Why doth it render the soul carnal, indisposed, unbelieving, unspiritual, weary, wandring?
A53712	Would you live as though there were no need of the Gospel?
A53712	Yea, are not men ready to say with them of old, What a weariness is it?
A53712	Yea, are not some come partly on one pretense, partly on another, to an open enmity unto, and hatred of the wayes of God?
A53712	Yea, do not many despise all these things, and look upon their own former Zeal, as folly?
A53712	You will say then, what shall we do, or how shall we observe this duty?
A53712	and are they not regardless of the things wherein they have formerly declared a singular concernment?
A53712	and could they not undergo manifold perils for the attainment of it?
A53712	are not almost all men grown cold and slack as to these things?
A53712	are there not decays and declensions to be found amongst them?
A53712	are they not grown weary, selfish in their Religion, and so things be indifferent well at home, scarce care how thy go abroad in the world?
A53712	are they not less concerned in them than formerly?
A53712	as though pardon of sin were to no purpose?
A53712	doth he bring a flood upon them to destroy them, as in the old world sometime before?
A53712	doth it carry them so far, and then leave them?
A53712	doth it severely rise up against any thing that is evil?
A53712	for the love and care of a Father, of a Redeemer, that we have been made partakers of?
A53712	have they grown, and made improvement in it?
A53712	how is this preserved?
A53712	how should we loath all its proposals, and say unto them, Get ye hence as an abominable thing?
A53712	or is there not a coldness and indifferency grown upon the spirits of many in this thing?
A53712	the same exact performance of private duties?
A53712	the same humility of mind and spirit?
A53712	the same readiness for the Cross?
A53712	the same self- denial?
A53712	to be clear, steady, and constant in its duty?
A53712	what humiliation, what self- abasement, what intensness in prayer, what diligence, what watchfulness doth this call for at your hands?
A53712	when God judged them for their sins and wantonness?
A53712	whose Habitation would not be ruined?
A53712	whose blood almost would not be shed, if wicked Men had power to perpetrate all their conceived sin?
A53712	why will you wither and decay?
A49252	15. says the Apostle, shall I take the Members of Christ, and make them Members of an harlot?
A49252	16. it is said there that a wise man feareth and departeth from evill, a wise man is jealous over his own heart, what followes?
A49252	2. Who is the Lord( sayes he) that I should obey his voice?
A49252	21. sayes Elijah the Prophet to the people, How long will you halt between two opinions?
A49252	3. Who is that God( sayes hee) that shall deliver you out of my hands?
A49252	3. it is said there, that for a long time Israel was without the true God; without God, how so?
A49252	A confident Challenge, in which he outbraveth Death, and all the powers of the Grave, O Death, where is thy sting?
A49252	And again, it argueth little judgement and consideration; Wherein is this life valuable?
A49252	And doest thou make no conscience of performing the vowes and covenants thou hast made with God?
A49252	And now what a dismall Text have I here to handle, and what a doleful tragedy am I now to act?
A49252	And there shall come in the last dayes scoffers, walking after their own lusts, saying, Where is the promise of his coming?
A49252	And therefore( beloved) I beseech you look to it, and examine your selves; is not God undervalued sometimes, when your lusts are set in the throne?
A49252	Are they atheists that doe neglect the duty of prayer?
A49252	Are they atheists that live a disorderly life, and walk in a course of wickednesse all their dayes?
A49252	Are you contentedly ignorant of Christ, and care not to know more?
A49252	Are you such men as are without the spirit of Christ?
A49252	Are you without Christ?
A49252	Are you without a hearing ear, and an obedient heart to the Word of Christ?
A49252	Are you without an unfeigned love to the person of Christ, or without a true and saving knowledg of Christ?
A49252	Art thou a luke warm and indifferent man in matters of Religion?
A49252	Art thou now in Christ?
A49252	Art thou tempted to Atheisme?
A49252	As it is with a man asleep in a ship, the ship may bring him home safe to the harbour, and yet he not know of it?
A49252	But here me thinks I hear some kind of people ready to object against me, and say, What, doe you go about to beat us off from our hopes of heaven?
A49252	But here some may object and say; What doe you tell us here in England, that wee are without God in the world?
A49252	But then again why is their being aliens to the commonwealth of Israel put in the second place?
A49252	Can we beleeve there is a heaven so excellent and glorious, and yet shun it?
A49252	Christ is full of grace and truth, Why?
A49252	Christ says to Saul; Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
A49252	Did you ever make a powerfull prayer unto God for him?
A49252	Did you ever see your misery without him?
A49252	Did you ever sigh, and sob, and cry mightily unto God for him?
A49252	Do you take greater industry, and complacency in the committing of sin, then ever you did in the performance of any holy duty?
A49252	Do you think that Christ fel from heaven, into your bosome whether you would or no?
A49252	Doe you labour still to resemble God in holinesse?
A49252	Doe you labour to be holy as hee was holy?
A49252	Doe you look on things after the outward appearance?
A49252	Does thy conscience never trouble thee after the commission of sinnes?
A49252	Doest thou any of these wayes entertain and harbour thoughts of Atheisme in thy heart?
A49252	Doest thou make impunity to be a provocation to impiety?
A49252	Doest thou place thy affections upon any thing in the world more then upon God?
A49252	Doest thou professe to know God, and in thy works deny him?
A49252	For the order of the words, Why is their being without Christ put in the first place of the Text, and their being without God put in the last place?
A49252	He judged the cause of the poore and needy, then it was well with him; was not this to know me, saith the Lord?
A49252	He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings; does not thy conscience tell thee O man, that thou dost not care for any command of Jesus Christ?
A49252	How came you by Christ then?
A49252	How doth God know?
A49252	How many are there that can say, they never goe to God upon their knees in secret, to beg for grace and mercy from God?
A49252	I am thy God all sufficient,( what then?)
A49252	If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, old things are passed away, and all things are become new; are you new creatures?
A49252	If the foundations be destroyed, what shall the righteous doe?
A49252	Is hatred and contempt of the people of God, a badge of an atheist?
A49252	Let me ask you this question, Did you ever see an absolute necessity in your own souls, of getting an interest in Jesus Christ?
A49252	Let me ask you this question, How can you evidence that you have an interest in Christ, by your walking?
A49252	Now this being the case of every man, what shall we do?
A49252	O Grave, where is thy victory?
A49252	O Grave, where is thy victory?
A49252	O Grave, where is thy victory?
A49252	Or do you backslide from the wayes of Christ both in judgement, and in practise?
A49252	Sayes the young man to Christ, What shall I doe to inherit eternall life?
A49252	The High Priest was not upon pain of death to come to the Mercy- seat, unlesse he brought incense with him; now what does this signifie to us?
A49252	The strength of sin is the Law] How is that to be understood?
A49252	This challenge is illustrated by a Prolepsis or an Anticipation of an objection: some might ask, What is this sting of Death?
A49252	Thou that sayest thou hast an interest in Christ, let me ask you this question, How came you by your interest in Christ?
A49252	Though you do not do man wrong, yet doe you not your own souls wrong?
A49252	Though you pay every man his own, yet do you give God his own?
A49252	What are the characters of those men that are without any reall interest and propriety in God as their God, in a way of Covenant and relation?
A49252	What benefit will it be to thee, that you do no body else wrong, when you doe your own souls wrong?
A49252	What do you see in the world, or in the present life to make you in love with it?
A49252	What is it to be a stranger to the Covenants of Promise?
A49252	What is meant by the Covenants of Promise?
A49252	What is the difference between a covenant and a promise?
A49252	What is the difference between the Covenants and the Promise?
A49252	What is the meaning of this, the body is dead because of sinne?
A49252	What is this power of the Grave?
A49252	Why is it called the covenants of promise?
A49252	and beg the Father earnestly for him?
A49252	and doest thou carry in thy minde a forgetfulnesse of the day of Judgement?
A49252	and how shall we extricate our souls from such a labyrinth of endlesse horrour?
A49252	and humble, and meeke, and lowly as hee was?
A49252	are all your old sins passed away?
A49252	are such as these atheists?
A49252	are you not weary of misery and sin?
A49252	can he judge through the thick clouds?
A49252	can we hope for such an* incorruptible inheritance, and yet be afraid of it?
A49252	can you evidence it to your own souls, that ever since you were first born, you were new born?
A49252	do we count it a priviledge, or a misery, and a burden?
A49252	doth not God rule and governe and preserve the World?
A49252	hath God written the Sermons you have heard, not in your books, but in your hearts?
A49252	have you a promise or any ground in scripture for your hopes?
A49252	have you been ever washed with clean water, and those stains of sin and corruption wiped away from you?
A49252	how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing?
A49252	is not God sometimes very low in your estimation, and other things set above him?
A49252	mark the next words) and saying, Where is the promise of his coming?
A49252	or are you obstinately ignorant, and wil not learn more?
A49252	or are you without a saving power derived from Christ, enabling you to mortifie your bosome lusts?
A49252	or doest thou distrust the providence of God in times of trouble and distresse?
A49252	or dost thou make no conscience of the performance of secret duties?
A49252	or one Scripture ground for it?
A49252	or rather do you not wrong God, and do him infinite indignities?
A49252	or the witnesse of the Spirit for it?
A49252	that in simplicity and godly sincerity, you have had your conversation here in this world?
A49252	that we shall enter upon it too soon?
A49252	thou wilt not forsake thy lusts, nor leave thy sins, and therefore what hast thou to do to meddle with my covenant of grace?
A49252	to be in the Armes of our beloved Jesus?
A49252	to fear an enemy so often vanquished by Christ and his Saints?
A49252	to have the company of the body, or the company of Christ?
A49252	what Prince would live uncrowned?
A49252	what heir would whine when hee is called to come and take the inheritance?
A49252	what thoughts have we of eternall life?
A49252	would you bereave us of our hopes and drive us into despair?
A44699	5. with characters exactly corresponding to these of the Prophet) even the sure mercies of David?
A44699	Among these, what can be more clear and certain than this, that we have our hearts much set upon it?
A44699	And Secondly, How congruous and agreeable would this supposition prove to the Goodness of God?
A44699	And again, Is it not as good to be nothing, as to be, and do nothing?
A44699	And can we endure to live according to the former?
A44699	And do not our hearts then misgive?
A44699	And how unjust, to determine and inflict severe penalties for unavoidable and necessitated actions and omissions?
A44699	And if they see a nature extinct, capable of their state, what might they suspect of their own?
A44699	And is it agreeable to the goodness of God to put such a nature into any, and with- hold the suitable object?
A44699	And is not the love of God a higher natural Law than that of the body?
A44699	And is this indeed our case?
A44699	And let us but impartially debate the matter with our selves: Can we, in sober reason, think we were made only for such Ends as the most only pursue?
A44699	And shall the matter be thus given up as hopeless?
A44699	And that our Maker had overshot himself, and been guilty of an oversight, in giving us such a being?
A44699	And to what purpose was this so special Revelation by vision, if it were not to be understood truly, at least, if not yet perfectly and fully?
A44699	And what ingenuity would not blush to be guilty of it?
A44699	And what is the world the better?
A44699	And what then have we to do, but set our selves to our preparatory work?
A44699	And what?
A44699	And who can acquit himself of the one or the other, that lives not in some measure agreeably to the expectation of somewhat beyond this present life?
A44699	And who can think this a thing worthy of infinite and eternal Goodness?
A44699	And who, that hath open eyes, beholds not the dreadful instances and increase of this difection?
A44699	And ● re not our souls and our bodies( though united, yet) distinct things?
A44699	And 〈 ◊ 〉, Is not every thing 〈 … 〉?
A44699	And( a little to discuss this matter) what would we have to assure us?
A44699	Are those things great in their eyes, that are so in ours?
A44699	Are we more nearly 〈 ◊ 〉 to a piece of C ● ● y ▪ 〈 ◊ 〉 to the Father of our spirits?
A44699	As if we were impertinencies in the Creation, and had no proper business in it?
A44699	As if( with a loud and violent cry) they would assassinate and stifle this belief and hope, but not judg it?
A44699	As though our Creation had been a misadventure, a thing that would not have been done, had it been better thought on?
A44699	As, How contemptuously should we look upon that empty vanity of being rich?
A44699	But dare we not venture a little farther?
A44699	But how absurd were it so to treat the other Creatures, that act by a necessity of Nature in all they do?
A44699	But how little doth it signifie?
A44699	But how little would it agree with this design of the Divine Wisdom, to have made man only for this temporary state?
A44699	But if they do not justifie themselves, to what purpose is it further to press them with absurdities, that persist in constant self- contradiction?
A44699	But is there no way to get out of this unhappy Circle?
A44699	But what so great change as this can the nature of man admit?
A44699	But why not rather of the Universe?
A44699	Can we be happy in him whom we do not love?
A44699	Could so vast a sect be without an Head or Master, known and celebrated among men?
A44699	Do not we know this is the time and state of preparation?
A44699	Do we expect a vision or a voice?
A44699	Especially being increased and confirmed by its consciousness and sense of guilt?
A44699	For how highly justifiable and becoming is it, that we principally mind the state and things we were made for?
A44699	For is it so grateful a thing to observe the confused scramble and hurry of the world?
A44699	For upon the whole, let but the case be thus put: Is it not as good to do nothing, as to be busie to no purpose?
A44699	For what Tenet was ever more exploded and hooted at, than that practice is which alone agrees with this?
A44699	For what else is left us, since in our present state we behold nothing but vanity?
A44699	For who that is not so, if he only take notice of his own being, may not as certainly conclude the existence of a God, as that two and two make four?
A44699	Have we any pretence to think so?
A44699	How befitting is it to pass by all things with neglect, and betake our selves hither with this sense?
A44699	How can these but make it banish it self, and in a sullen enmity and despair perp ● tually fl ● e the Divine Presence?
A44699	How coldly and carelesly should we pursue; how unconcern''dly should we lose any thing that might intitle us to that Name?
A44699	How faint and languid would endeavours be after the knowledg of that God, whom I may but only know, and dye?
A44699	How is it courted and solicited and sued unto?
A44699	If the question were put, Wherefore did God make man?
A44699	If they do, how fatally are all things inverted in their depraved minds?
A44699	If we have not seen what the state of things is in the other world, are we not told?
A44699	Is it so much worth the while to live, to see a few more persons bow the knee?
A44699	Is this a likely way to procure love, and to captivate hearts into an affectionate and free obedience?
A44699	Less plausible Opinions find some Owner; Why is it not said, Who was the first Broacher of this?
A44699	May we not then be ashamed that they should discern our terrene dispositions?
A44699	Not in degree: for who sees not that the nature of man is capable of greater things than he here enjoys?
A44699	Now who can think the satisfying of these lusts the commensurate end of man?
A44699	Of how little use are the Politician, the States- man, the Senator, the Judg, or the Eloquent man?
A44699	Or can it enter into our souls to believe it?
A44699	Or how can we bear it, to live as if we came into the world by chance?
A44699	Or how little is the gain when the labour and travel of so many years is all vanished and blown away with the last puff of his dying- breath?
A44699	Or how should we savour the notion of an impure Deity taking pleasure to indulge the wickedness of men?
A44699	Or to have it written in their foreheads, These are the only ends they are capable of?
A44699	Or what imagination can be too absurd to have place in that mind that can imagine this Creation to be a casualty?
A44699	Or would not some or other of his proselyted disciples have preserved his name and memory, and transmitted them to posterity?
A44699	Ought the love of God to do nothing?
A44699	Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?
A44699	Since the blessed God himself is to be considered as the principal Agent and Designer in this enquiry[ Why hast thou made all men in vain?]
A44699	Such a Creature made to no purpose?
A44699	That have so little of solid and substantial beeing?
A44699	The noblest part of this inferior Creation brought forth into being without any imaginable design?
A44699	Therefore let us consider; Are we conscious of no unfitn ● ss for that blessed state?
A44699	To be associated with the H ● av ● nly Assembly of pure intellectual spirits?
A44699	To consort and joyn with them in their celebrations and triumphant Songs?
A44699	To dwell in the presence of the holy God?
A44699	To employ our utmost care to live, but to live for we know not what?
A44699	To extend power a little further?
A44699	To make another essay what pleasure sense can tast in some or other hitherto unexperimented Rarity?
A44699	To what purpose was it for him to live in the world a few years, upon this account only, and so go down to the place of silence?
A44699	Was it only for the hoped prosperity of his House and Family when he was gone?
A44699	What am I to pitch upon as my proper End?
A44699	What are we doing?
A44699	What can in this case be more natural to it, than to give up it self to eternal solitary wandrings, as a Fugitive from God?
A44699	What can more become us, if we reckon we have somewhat about us made for immortality, than to bestow our chief care upon that immortal part?
A44699	What censures, may we think, do they pass upon our follies?
A44699	What eye would not soon spy out the grosness of this absurdity?
A44699	What hovering shadows, what uncertain Entities are they?
A44699	What import or signification is there in this course, of a design for futurity?
A44699	What ingenuous persons would not blush to be always in the posture of an useless hang- by?
A44699	What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death?
A44699	What matter were it what became of the world, whether it be wise or foolish, rich or poor, quiet or unquiet, govern''d or ungovern''d?
A44699	What more peculiar gusto this or that thing will afford?
A44699	What serious person?
A44699	What?
A44699	Who else can be the Author of so common a perswasion?
A44699	Who would not rather bless himself in a( more rational) neglect, and regardlesness of all humane affairs?
A44699	Who would not, upon the supposition of no higher, say with the Psalmist, Wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?
A44699	Why hast thou brought forth into the light of this world such a sort of Creatures, that rather seem to be, than are?
A44699	Why have they the power of thinking?
A44699	Why is there so unaccountable a Phoenomenon?
A44699	With what solemnity are applications and addresses made to the Will of man upon all occasions?
A44699	Would he not have own''d it, and glory''d in it?
A44699	Would not men be ashamed to profess such a belief?
A44699	Would we not blush to profess it for a Principle, That there is nothing real that exceeds the sphere of our sense?
A44699	and account an unconcerned indifferency the highest wisdom?
A44699	and how are we concerned to lose no more time?
A44699	and not by the reason of men, but their lusts only?
A44699	and obliged to 〈 … 〉 there, rather than 〈 … 〉 in ● ● rior thing( at least) ● ow n ● ● rly soever united?
A44699	and see us come, so unwillingly, into their con ● ort, and happy state?
A44699	and so little deserve to be taken for realities?
A44699	and tell us we are unready?
A44699	and that too without trial or hearing?
A44699	and the fruit that remains, is to have it said by those that survive, There lies learned dust?
A44699	and the violation of whatsoever is Sacred, the most effectual propitiation?
A44699	and try the other Dish?
A44699	and which he hath made it desire, and therein encouraged it to expect?
A44699	given him such a mock- beeing?
A44699	he hath nothing to say?
A44699	not yet prepared to approach the Divine Presence, or to enter into the habitation of his Holiness and Glory?
A44699	or acknowledg him for a God whom they hope to over- power, and to prosper in a War against him?
A44699	or are we not to try our selves; and search for such characters in our own souls, as may distinguish and note us out for Heaven?
A44699	or even to recover such out of their lapses, and drowsie fits, that are not altogether so?
A44699	or love whom we will not know or be acquainted with?
A44699	or rather by mistake?
A44699	or signifie nothing to the inclining our mind ● to the so unspeakably better part?
A44699	or that have not so much left them of rational sensation, as to feel in their own minds the pressure of the very greatest absurdity?
A44699	or the next year than this?
A44699	or think of stealing a passage to Heaven in the dark?
A44699	or to be procured by affronts?
A44699	or to be the subject of any rational design or care?
A44699	or to renew the same relishes over again?
A44699	shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave?
A44699	since there can be no pretence of any such 〈 ◊ 〉 union, than o ● a thing with it self?
A44699	that he should come into the world furnisht with such powers and endowments for this?
A44699	that if he be asked, Sir, what''s your business here?
A44699	that only serve to cheat one another into an opinion of their true existence, and presently vanish and confess their falshood?
A44699	then, what have we been doing all this while?
A44699	to affect to be ever enwrapt in its own darkness, and hidden from his sight, and be an everlasting tormentor to it self?
A44699	to be still hanging on, where he hath nothing to do?
A44699	to make supplications to the Wind, or propound articles to a Brute?
A44699	to whom contempt were a sacrifice?
A44683	( How much more might it be said of all its inward parts?)
A44683	An enquiry whether it be possible the Creature can be actually infinite?
A44683	An& mundum fecit,& in mundo homines ut ab hominibus coleretur?
A44683	And I may add, when those appear but points, in comparison of his so much vaster work, how plainly doth that also argue to us the same thing?
A44683	And are not the Atheists Cavils as despicably silly against the Deity, and( consequently) Religion?
A44683	And as concerning the name, who made them dictators to all the world?
A44683	And besides, is that power somewhat or nothing?
A44683	And bethink our selves: But how came he to exist and be what he is?
A44683	And consequently that it is simply the most perfect?
A44683	And converse with that his creature sutably to the way wherein he hath made it capable of his converse?
A44683	And for the former, I would enquire; Is amplitude of essence no perfection?
A44683	And having done so, why might they not keep together?
A44683	And his power over me, and his goodness to me, are hereby supposed the same, which the only one God, truly hath and exerciseth towards all?
A44683	And how do we think to descry that, here, which may answer this common notion we have of a man?
A44683	And how grateful herein, and meritorious often are the assistent railleries of servile( and it may be mercenary) wits?
A44683	And however, wherein do we find a flame of fire more rational than a piece of ice?
A44683	And if none of these can be supposed; what doth their association signifie towards ratiocination?
A44683	And if one should give this account of the production of such a trifle, would he not be thought in jest?
A44683	And if some power be some being, what then is infinite power, is not that infinite being?
A44683	And if such means as these that have been mentioned should be thought necessary, I would ask, are they necessary to every individval person?
A44683	And if this were barely possible, how little doth that signifie?
A44683	And in another way than that of generation, how will any go about to make a soul?
A44683	And is he not perfectly blind, that sees not what violence is done to free reason in this matter?
A44683	And is not that capacity of the soul of man a real something?
A44683	And is the want of that the total sum of the Atheists misery at this hour?
A44683	And is there any comparison between that temporary transient occasional, and this steady permanent and universal discovery of God?
A44683	And no real Being is supposed besides?
A44683	And since many, we are sure, have thought and spoken unworthily of God, besides Epicureans, are all these to go into the account of Atheists?
A44683	And since they are suppos''d to be so much alike, how are the Mathematical Atoms to be distinguished from the Moral?
A44683	And suppose they had the free grant of all the matter between the crown of their head and the Moon, could they tell what to do with it?
A44683	And that all mankind, besides themselves, were enslaved fools?
A44683	And the disposing this great variety of particular Beings in it, into so exact and elegant an order?
A44683	And the sustaining and preserving it in the same state through so many ages?
A44683	And then how is it all things, when so great a number of things will be left excluded?
A44683	And then it being, however, still, but somewhat that is created or made, how can its Maker but be infinite?
A44683	And then to what purpose doth the discovery and acknowledgment of the Deity serve?
A44683	And then what rational inducement is wanting to Religion and the Dedication of a Temple?
A44683	And therefore by parity of reasons, why should not infinite being exclude finite?]
A44683	And what Miracles did he ever work to confirm the truth of his Doctrine in this matter?
A44683	And what doth most simple infiniteness import, but to have nothing for a boundary, or( which is the same) not to be bounded at all?
A44683	And what have Atheists whereof to glory?
A44683	And what if some one pair or other of these parts had been universally wanting?
A44683	And what if the composure of the body be so apt and useful, so excellent in its own kind; Is it so in every kind, or to all imaginable purposes?
A44683	And what if there be divers of them together?
A44683	And what is the capacity but a power that should sometime be reduced into act, and arrive to the exercise of reason it self?
A44683	And what is[ infinite,] but[ that which can never be travell''d through] or whereof no end can be ever arriv''d unto?
A44683	And what mortal man that hath reason enough about him to be serious, and to think a while, would not even be amaz''d at the Miracle of Nutrition?
A44683	And what other way can be devised?
A44683	And what place is there for complaint of inevidence in the latter?
A44683	And what shall they be?
A44683	And what should be the worshiper when our souls are thought the same thing with what should be the object of our worship?
A44683	And what should their reward be, when the natural tendency of their undertaking is to exclude themselves from the expectation of any in another world?
A44683	And what then, if we Jay aside that supposition( which only somewhat gratifies fancy and imagination) doth that alter the case?
A44683	And what then?
A44683	And what will they expect in this from them whose Temples and Altars they go about to subvert?
A44683	And what, doth it seem likely then that infinite being and power can therefore do just nothing?
A44683	And when they have fancied these to exist, is not that a mighty proof that they indeed do so?
A44683	And where is that Revelation?
A44683	And where is the flaw?
A44683	And whether there be not an incomparably greater number of most wild and arbitrary suppositions, in their fiction, than in this?
A44683	And who can number the instances that might be given besides?
A44683	And who was, therefore ever heard of, that did not acknowledge some or other infinite?
A44683	And who would not wish to live?
A44683	And why may not this be thought supposable?
A44683	And why must we so difference the object of omnisciency and omnipotency?
A44683	And why should not that be understood to signifie the knowledge of simply all things; as well as this the power of doing simply all things?
A44683	And will not that be the case if we suppose future contingencies to lie conceal''d from the penetrating eye of God?
A44683	And with as little prejudice to his felicity?
A44683	And, first, for the universality of it, why may we not suppose it already sufficiently universal?
A44683	Are they not to use their very senses about the matters of Religion?
A44683	Are we hence to expect Oracles, philosophical Determinations?
A44683	Are we not here infinitely out- done?
A44683	Are we yet any nearer our purpose?
A44683	Art thou not wishing thy self and all things into nothing?
A44683	As for instance, how comes it to pass that the several parts which we find to be double in our bodies, are not single only?
A44683	At quid Deo cultus hominum confert, beato,& nulla re indigenti?
A44683	At quomodo in his loquitur?
A44683	But besides, and more generally what proportion is there between a thought, and the motion of an Atom?
A44683	But by what right do they affix such an Idea to their petite and fictitious Deities?
A44683	But can that which is nothing do any thing?
A44683	But can you ever prove the Maker of the world had so?
A44683	But do we need to insist that all the rest of the world acknowledged no Gods, whom they did not also worship?
A44683	But here it may be demanded, is every misapprehension of God to be understood as a denial of his Being?
A44683	But how can every one have one before it?
A44683	But how shall they argue so, who while they acknowledge a God, deny man to be his creature?
A44683	But how wild an imagination were that of a finite being that were of infinite power?
A44683	But however I would demand of such as make this exception, whether they think there be any effect at all, to which a designing cause was necessary?
A44683	But if he persist and solemnly profess that thus he takes it to have been, would he not be thought in good earnest mad?
A44683	But if it be denied, what shall the pretence be?
A44683	But if it be not known, how can they tell but their distinguishing members are co- incident, and run into one?
A44683	But is it necessary this course shall be taken to make the world know there is a God?
A44683	But is plainly denied to be from him, whose being they would argue from it?
A44683	But shall it be said, he must in order to the creating such another world, locally move thither where he designs it?
A44683	But that because a straw lies in my way, I would attempt to overturn heaven and earth, what raging phrensie is this?
A44683	But there is nothing in matters of this nature, more strange than in the structure of the leg of a Flea?
A44683	But to regress a little, fain I would know what is this thing they call nature?
A44683	But what can our reason either direct, or endure, that we should so uncongruously misplace so magnificent attributes as these?
A44683	But what cause can( or ever did) he or his followers assign of God?
A44683	But what, his power without his being?
A44683	But what, therefore, is power the less for being infinite?
A44683	But what?
A44683	But what?
A44683	But why do they the more conveniently associate upon that account for this purpose?
A44683	But would strange and wonderful effects that might surprise and amaze you do the business?
A44683	But would we ever regard what they say whom we believe to speak by chance?
A44683	But yet, may not much be attributed to the convenient and well fenced cavity of the brains receptacle, or the more secret chambers within that?
A44683	By what art would they make a seed?
A44683	By what power, or by what art will they make a reasonable soul spring up out of nothing?
A44683	Can Subjects, remote from their Prince, sufficiently be assured of his existence?
A44683	Can we be sure there are men on earth?
A44683	Concerning which soul afterwards enquiring whether all ought not to account it God?
A44683	Did that cause other things to be?
A44683	Did this intelligent nature proceed from an unintelligent, as the whole and only cause of it?
A44683	Do these small threds sentire?
A44683	Do they need to be pent in?
A44683	Do they think it an easie enterprize?
A44683	Doth it signifie any thing, or is it of any value to the purpose for which it is alledg''d?
A44683	Doth this cause stand and fall with you?
A44683	Doth this temper so much befriend the exercise of Reason?
A44683	Either by detracting somewhat that belongs to it, or attributing somewhat that belongs not?
A44683	For hath every soul that hath ever existed or been in being been produced in this way by another?
A44683	For how impossible is it to be sure we have no untrue conception of a Being so infinitely, by our own confession, above all our thoughts?
A44683	For if there be no God, what am I?
A44683	For is it a necessary being?
A44683	For of what pre- existent substance are they made?
A44683	For since our knowledge of God ought chiefly to respect him in that forementioned relative consideration, and the enquiry what is God?
A44683	For taking notice of the existence of any thing whatsoever, some reason must be assignable, whence it is that this particular Being doth exist?
A44683	For then how can there be any finite?
A44683	For then there will be one without the compass of every one, And how is it then said to be every one?
A44683	For was the contrivance of these machines theirs?
A44683	For what can be at a greater, than that which is necessarily?
A44683	For what can be plainer than that, if all being sometime was not, and now some being is, every thing of being had a beginning?
A44683	For what can be the undertakers hope, either of success or reward?
A44683	For what can the pretence of evidence be in the former assertion?
A44683	For what can this signifie?
A44683	For what do they find here that can thus beyond all expectation improve them to so high an excellency?
A44683	For what else is left us to say or think?
A44683	For what is there to be said for their hypothesis, or against the existence of God, and the duness of Religion?
A44683	For what ways of proving it can be thought of, which the supposition it self doth not forbid, and reject?
A44683	For whence should it receive any accession to it self when it is supposed equally independent upon its fellows, as any of them upon it?
A44683	For which way would they go to work?
A44683	For who did ever, in that case, say the parents were the productive causes of that learning?
A44683	For who fees not that it is a matter of no greater difficulto converse with, than to make a reasonable creature?
A44683	For why will they acknowledge any necessary Being at all, that was ever of it self?
A44683	For, if it be said having nothing else to communicate, they communicate themselves, but what is that self?
A44683	For, since there can be no Wisdom, Power, or Goodness, which is not either original and self- essentiate, or derived and participated from thence?
A44683	Frequent?
A44683	Had not the whole frame of man besides been in vain?
A44683	Have we any way, besides that discovery, which the acts and effects of reason do make of a rational or intelligent Being?
A44683	How are they pent in whilst in the body?
A44683	How are they to be rang''d when for the affirmative?
A44683	How far have all attempted imitations in this kind fallen short of this perfection?
A44683	How great a misery had it inferr''d upon mankind?
A44683	How little would that contribute to pious and devout converses with God, that should certainly keep mens minds in a continual commotion and hurry?
A44683	How most commodiously all things are ordered in it?
A44683	How much greater and more absolute is the right which the parentage of our whole being challenges?
A44683	How should we even over- do the present business?
A44683	How were these thoughts in his mind?
A44683	How will they prove their Idea true?
A44683	I ask then, but can he not at the same time create thousands of worlds at any distance from this round about it?
A44683	I would here enquire why do you so pronounce?
A44683	If all that I am and have be from him, I can not surely owe to him less than all?
A44683	If every one could bring somewhat to a common stock, that might be serviceable to that purpose; how shall each ones proportion or share be imparted?
A44683	If so, whom can we undertake to assoil of Atheism?
A44683	If there be such advantage, why can it not be understood?
A44683	If they had taken one of these, to be their alone Creator, how much greater had their veneration and their homage been?
A44683	If this bespeak not an intelligent Agent, what doth?
A44683	If we consider the joynt encouragement that arises from so unlimited power and goodness?
A44683	If yea, whence came this impression, but from God himself?
A44683	Into what can we devise to resolve it?
A44683	Is it a created Being?
A44683	Is it any intelligent principle?
A44683	Is it flesh, or bloud, or bones that puts this stamp upon them?
A44683	Is it needful they be universal?
A44683	Is it not because they can not otherwise for their hearts tell how it was ever possible that any thing at all could come into being?
A44683	Is it not plain that he can with the same facility, continue the influence which he at first gave forth?
A44683	Is it that we think that can be less true now which was so gloriously evident to be true four thousand years ago?
A44683	Is it their peculiar magnitude or size that so far ennobles them?
A44683	Is it to be proved by Revelation?
A44683	Is it to exclude a necessary self- active being?
A44683	Is it written or unwritten?
A44683	Is there therefore nothing more of existent Being than there was before this production?
A44683	It is then some Being, and whose Being is it but his own?
A44683	It may possibly be here said in short; But what have we all this while been doing?
A44683	Knowable?
A44683	Many sorts of rare engines we acknowledge contrived by the wit of man, but who hath ever made one that could grow?
A44683	Maxims of State?
A44683	May we not now hope to have a rational sort of people among them, that is, those of the peculiar family or tribe?
A44683	Nay, if a thousand men were askt the same question, they would as undoubtingly say the same thing?
A44683	Now here I would further demand, is there any thing in this reason yea or no?
A44683	Now if such a continual iteration of these strange things were thought necessary, would they not hereby soon cease to be strange?
A44683	Now was it possible any thing should give that power that had it not any way?
A44683	Now, that we may proceed, what can felfessentiate, underived, Power, Wisdom, Goodness be, but most perfect Power, Wisdom, Goodness?
A44683	Or do they expect to find men indifferent in a matter that concerns their common Practice and Hope?
A44683	Or from effects?
A44683	Or how is it to be avoided, in somewhat or other to think amiss of so unknown and incomprehensibly excellent a Being?
A44683	Or is it imaginable it should never have met with contradiction?
A44683	Or is it that we can dis- believe or doubt the truth of the History?
A44683	Or is it the best way of making use of what God hath revealed of himself, by whatsoever means, not to understand what he hath revealed?
A44683	Or no tie unto love, reverence, obedience, and adoration, because the Author of my being comprehended not in himself all perfection?
A44683	Or shall it be said that the infiniteness of power is no hinderance but the infiniteness of Being?
A44683	Or some other?
A44683	Or such as than which there can never be more perfect?
A44683	Or that any creature is so perfect as that none can be made more perfect?
A44683	Or was it guided by any such?
A44683	Or who are its vouchers?
A44683	Or will we adventure to be so assuming, as while we deny it to God that he knows all things, to attribute to our selves that we do?
A44683	Or with what right or pretence will they assume so much to themselves?
A44683	Or would it be thought a reasonable excuse of disloyalty, that any such persons should say they had never seen the King or his Court?
A44683	Quis cnim non timeat omnia providentem,& cogitantem,& animadvertentem,& omnia ad se pertinere putantem, curiosum& plenum negotii Deum?
A44683	So much would plainly conclude the sum of what we have been pleading for; and what can be plainer or doth require a shorter turn of thoughts?
A44683	So that here all will be summ''d up in this enquiry, whether Reason can agree to matter?
A44683	Somewhat or other there must be that when he is askt, is this the effect of skill?
A44683	That is to make any nourishable thing?
A44683	That it neither rises from nor is meer matter; whence it will be consequent it must have an efficient divers from matter?
A44683	That none of the pretended by- standers should disclaim the avouchment of it?
A44683	That the hand is divided into fingers?
A44683	That there is such variety and curiosity in the ways of joyning the bones together in that and other parts of the body?
A44683	That what can do nothing, can no more be the productive cause of another, than that which is nothing?
A44683	The refusal whereof, even Barbarian ingenuity would abhor, yea and brutal instinct condemn?
A44683	Theirs who beget them?
A44683	They are light, doth that mend the matter?
A44683	They are little, what doth that contribute?
A44683	They should therefore consider who gave them the understandings which they fear to use?
A44683	This signifies somewhat towards the keeping of state, but what doth it to the exercise of reason?
A44683	This therefore is our present theme, whether such things as these be capable of such, or any acts of reason yea or no?
A44683	This, rather than humble thy self, and beg forgiveness?
A44683	Upon what authority doth it rest?
A44683	Was all this without design?
A44683	We say, is it conceivable that mans knowing power should proceed from a cause that hath it not, in the same, or this more perfect kind?
A44683	What else but proud ignorance can hinder us from seeing that the more we know, the more there is that we know not?
A44683	What is this but to deny in particular what they granted in general?
A44683	What is this world( if we should suppose it still to subsist) without God?
A44683	What machine did ever man invent that had this power?
A44683	What so odd and uncouth composition can we form any conception of which we may not make exist at this rate?
A44683	What would the joy be worth in that hour, that arises from the hope of the glory to be revealed?
A44683	What would we think of such an appearance of God as that was upon Mount Sinai?
A44683	What( to instance in what seems so small a matter) if that little cover had been wanting at the entrance of that passage through which we breath?
A44683	What?
A44683	Whence it is that there are so unquestionable common notions every where received?
A44683	Wherefore if you ask, why can the work of making created being infinite never be done?
A44683	Wherefore there is no inconsistency between the infinite and finite beings?
A44683	Wherein then lies the great advantage these Atoms have by being in the body to their commencing rational?
A44683	Wherein were his Laws unequal?
A44683	Which though a well habited body( while the soul remains in this imprison''d state) do less hinder, yet how doth it help?
A44683	Who can say or think, when there can be so many sorts of creatures produced( or at least individuals of those sorts) that there can be no more?
A44683	Why are they in a state which they dislike?
A44683	Why not of omniscience as well?
A44683	Will we appeal to our faculties, to our reason it self?
A44683	Will we say such a Being, if he did actually exist, might ascertain us of his existence by some powerful impression of that truth upon our minds?
A44683	Will we say that meer humane shape is enough to prove such a one a man?
A44683	Will you say some kind of very glorious apparitions, becoming the majesty of such a one as this Being is represented, would have satisfied?
A44683	Would dreadful loud voices proclaiming him to be of whose existence you doubt have serv''d the turn?
A44683	Would it not rather have been pretended done in a corner?
A44683	Would they not presently, and with great amazement, confess an intelligent contriver and maker of this whole frame, above a Posidonius, or any mortal?
A44683	Would they not with the same impudence as you now do, say that all Religion were nothing else but Enthusiastical Fanaticism?
A44683	Yea, and what then?
A44683	Yea, but you must have pre- existent matter?
A44683	Yea, if he were only the entire Author of our own particular Being, how much more is that then the partial subordinate interest of an humane Parent?
A44683	Yea, or will tht once seeing, hearing, or feeling them suffice?
A44683	Yes, these are things that have( some way or other) the power of motion; and what can they effect by that?
A44683	Yet if that were admitted possible what will it avail?
A44683	Yet which of these is most subservient unto sense?
A44683	[ that an infinite body would exclude a finite; for where should the finite be when the infinite should fill up all space?
A44683	ad Pyth ● ci — Quae molitio, quae ferramenta, qui vectes, quae machinae, qui ministri tanti muneris fuerunt?
A44683	and ascribe the prime glory of the most excellent Being, unto that which is next to nothing?
A44683	and enable him sufficiently to reward it?
A44683	and hath such and such powers and properties belonging to it, as do occur to our notice therein?
A44683	and into what for another?
A44683	and is it only a casualty that it is not so?
A44683	and raze out impressions renew''d and transmitted through so many ages?
A44683	and say they knew of no such matter?
A44683	and that a few quirks of malapert wit will serve the turn to baffle the Deity into nothing?
A44683	and the sole judges of the propriety of words?
A44683	and these very notions which he opposes to each other, so as not to be confounded with his mind, and consequently with one another?
A44683	and to escape so unsupportable revenge?
A44683	and to trifle instead of giving a reason why things are so and so?
A44683	and unteach the world Religion?
A44683	and which may cut off all fear and danger of future calamity in this dark unknown state I am going into?
A44683	and which way would they inspire it with a seminal form?
A44683	and whither else will we?
A44683	and will have him and all things be by chance, or without dependence on any Maker?
A44683	are these the things that ultimately receive and discern the various impressions of objects?
A44683	as if our soul had no other act belonging to it, but that of willing?
A44683	as to make that so much narrower than this?
A44683	both where it is so immediately useful, or in the other things you would use for the service of that?
A44683	can it admit of rational demonstration?
A44683	could you have made such a thing as the stomach, a liver, an heart, a vein, an artery?
A44683	did he ever pretend to have seen any of these his vogued Gods?
A44683	dost thou know what thou sayest?
A44683	doth it because it includes it, therefore exclude it?
A44683	his Government grievous?
A44683	how for the negative?
A44683	into what mold or figure must it cast it self for one purpose?
A44683	is it a rational self?
A44683	is it a seed?
A44683	is it a thought?
A44683	is this altogether by chance?
A44683	or are they, by themselves, apart from this grosser body irrational?
A44683	or are we bound to to take their words for it?
A44683	or are you so very sure what the digestive quality is?
A44683	or can infinite power, even because it is infinite, do nothing?
A44683	or can they shew any product of humane device and wit, that shall be capable of vying with the strange powers of those machines?
A44683	or contribute to the sober consideration of things?
A44683	or did they take him for God, whom they believed to take no care of them, or from whom they expected no advantage?
A44683	or even defend the possibility of uncreated matter?
A44683	or how to manage it, so as to make it yield them one single flower, that they might glory in as their own production?
A44683	or if a good reason can be assigned for their difference, what shall be given for their agreement?
A44683	or if you are, and know what things best serve to maintain, to repair, or strengthen it, who implanted that quality?
A44683	or is every single Atom, that enters this composition, reason?
A44683	or is it a part?
A44683	or is it a principle of reason?
A44683	or is there no difference between being capable of reason and uncapable?
A44683	or no more than equal perfection with it self?
A44683	or of them as they were learned?
A44683	or that had in it a self- improving power?
A44683	or that such powers were not given on purpose for such operations?
A44683	or that there are things in the world capable of nourishment, or who would attempt an imitation here?
A44683	or was its cause only capable of intellectual perfection, but not actually furnished therewith?
A44683	or was the soul it self caused, and this its capacity uncaused?
A44683	or were the confining of this Being to the very minutest space we can imagine, no detraction from the perfection of it?
A44683	or what can it be understood to signifie?
A44683	or what is the reason of this your judgment?
A44683	or what is there in the properties assigned to this sort of Atoms that can bespeak it any of these?
A44683	or what they have not so much as thought of?
A44683	or when the assembly thinks fit to entertain it self with matters of this or that kind, what must be its different composure or posture?
A44683	or where will we fix the bounds of our censure?
A44683	or which they will judge impossible to have been otherwise produced than by the direction and contrivance of wisdom and counsel?
A44683	or who can certainly acquit himself?
A44683	shall I be the next hour nothing or miserable?
A44683	shall it be from the cause?
A44683	signifies, as it concerns us, what is the object of Religion?
A44683	so as against the rest of the world to name that God, from which they cut off the principal perfections wo nt to be signified by that name?
A44683	something, or nothing?
A44683	that is in the same kind, or in some more excellent and noble kind?
A44683	the Contemplative from the Active?
A44683	the Epicurean notion of him?
A44683	therefore you are as wise as your Maker?
A44683	those from the Political?
A44683	those so conveniently situate, one in so fitly opposite a posture to the rest?
A44683	to others, or to God himself?
A44683	to whom?
A44683	was Epicurus himself the common Oracle?
A44683	was that true before, which now your hard- la- boured dissent hath made false?
A44683	were they the Authors of this rare invention, or of any thing like it?
A44683	what Atoms are there to dispose to this sect more, and what to another?
A44683	what Joynt is not firm and strong in this little frame of discourse?
A44683	what business could then be followed?
A44683	what can an impression infer to this purpose that comes no one can tell whence or how?
A44683	what can be said or thought more absurd or void of sense?
A44683	what is lost from our cause by it?
A44683	what meant their Temples, and Altars, their Prayers and Sacrifices?
A44683	what shall be the medium?
A44683	what shall we suppose?
A44683	what should be the ground or pretence of doubt?
A44683	what then is his power?
A44683	what then, did this real something proceed from nothing?
A44683	when as yet he comprehended so much as to be the sole cause of all that is in me?
A44683	when so many things must concur that these actions might be performed by these organs, and are found to do so?
A44683	whence did it spring, or to what original doth it owe it self?
A44683	whence then came their capacity of observing, or of receiving such instruction?
A44683	where are my mighty demonstrations upon which one may venture?
A44683	where the studious Atoms may be very private and free from disturbance?
A44683	wherefore are they not full and satisfied?
A44683	who could intend the affairs of their callings?
A44683	who was appointed to inform the world in this matter?
A44683	why are not all things transposed in some minds, when such a posture of the Atoms as might infer it, is as supposable as any other?
A44683	why did he never tell men so?
A44683	why do they wish, and complain, is this God- like?
A44683	why is it not assigned?
A44683	why should we further spend our guesses what may possibly be said?
A44683	why what can this do?
A44683	will we think fit to say that all things we behold were as they are necessarily existent from all eternity?
A44683	would we not in any such case be determined rather by that which is more evident, than by what is more obscure?
A44683	wouldst thou have God out of being for this?
A44683	† And were this a fit means of ruling the world, of preserving order among mankind?
A07666	& c. Is not this a royall exchange and happy Mart?
A07666	14. Who feares God feares not death: for what can he feare whose death is his hope?
A07666	4. Who can put to silence the voyce of Desperation?
A07666	Againe, many Atheists say, It is in vaine to serue vse 3 God, and what profit is it that wee haue kept his commaundements?
A07666	All things now worke together for the best,& therfore, what, or who can seperate them from the loue of Christ?
A07666	Am I a sea, or a Whale- fish, that thou keepest mee in ward?
A07666	And Ieremie reproacheth those that say they are wise, Ye haue cast away the word of the Lord, and what wisedome is in you?
A07666	And albeit glory doe continue after the end of our life, yet what shall it auaile thee man, that hath no sence?
A07666	And can wee thinke that all this was for the feare of bodily death, which many of Gods children( yea, many wicked men) haue desperately despised?
A07666	And feeling the good( that death bringeth vnto vs) will not also desire to be dissolued, and to be with Christ?
A07666	And how much better art thou then a graine of corne?
A07666	And how often did holy Dauid( amidst the shadowes of Death) see life it selfe?
A07666	And if our momentany sufferings seeme long, how long shall that be which is eternall?
A07666	And is it not( trow you) a iust condemnation, if wee wretched men should be ashamed of him, who being the God of glory, was not ashamed of vs?
A07666	And not to forget the cares of this life: How doe they swarme about vs, like the Flyes of Egypt?
A07666	And should we desire to dwell here?
A07666	And therefore how shouldest thou enioy so good an exchange, except thou first corrupt and die?
A07666	And thou( O World)( which bewitchest so many to loue this life) what should I gaine, if I should serue thee?
A07666	And though my friends lament the losse of my life, yet can they not redeeme it: for what man is hee that liueth and shall not see death?
A07666	And what auayles it to seeke outward reliefe when thou hast thy executioner within thee?
A07666	And what great madnesse is it, for men( going actually to be iudged) thus in the way to prouoke their Iudge to anger, by continuall sinne?
A07666	And what man is hee, so strong in Faith, that can contayne himselfe in this pittifull tryall of deaths combat?
A07666	And what profit should we haue, if we should pray vnto him?
A07666	And what was the reason hereof that they still proceeded without any interruption?
A07666	And who being a traueller in forraine parts would not gladly hasten homewards?
A07666	And why did I sucke the brests?
A07666	And why should the faithfull be affraide of Death, by which they are deliuered from the slauery of sinne?
A07666	And with what reason can we name Death sodaine, which euery day manifesteth it selfe to all our sences?
A07666	And, whom haue I in heauen but thee?
A07666	Are not fiue Sparrowes bought for two farthings?
A07666	Are they not eyes to the blinde, and feet to the lame?
A07666	Are they not fathers to the poore, and in so being, procure their blessing?
A07666	Are we ready to goe out of this world( as the Israelites out of Egypt?
A07666	Art not thou the same which hast dryed the Sea, even the waters of the great deepe, making the depth of the Sea a way for the redeemed to passe ouer?
A07666	Behold this world, how it shaketh, and is ready to fall, manifesting very shortly her vtter ruine: Wherefore thinkest thou not on God?
A07666	Bitternes caused death; but whence came the bitternesse?
A07666	But God heareth not sinners?
A07666	But O Lord suffer me not to die, before I begin to liue, nor to rot in the graue, before I be assured of my immortall inheritance in heauen?
A07666	But beleeuest thou that such a mans heart laughes with his face?
A07666	But from whence hast thou this hope?
A07666	But how should man be ignorant of his death, vnto whom all creatures and actions preach his mortalitie?
A07666	But how then should wee be saued from the death of sinne and condemnation?
A07666	But if any Physitian would take vpon him to make men liue euer in this world, what a multitude of Patients should he haue?
A07666	But if it be such paines to die, what shall be the torture and torment to be euer dying, and neuer dead?
A07666	But if we feare death, let vs seeke out the cause of this feare: are our sinnes the cause?
A07666	But if we follow our owne appetites, and delicate nicenesse( reiecting Gods pleasure) what can be easie?
A07666	But is thy soule sorrowfull vnto death?
A07666	But it is a miserable thing to die?
A07666	But see how many Legions of Diuels looke for thy soule, as Death for thy body?
A07666	But seeing it hateth the Children of God, why loue they such an enemy?
A07666	But the Law of thy God, accuseth and condemneth thee?
A07666	But the death of sinners is damnable?
A07666	But thou flatterest thy selfe with vaine hope?
A07666	But thou shalt be damned, saith the Diuell?
A07666	But thou shalt be swallowed vp of death?
A07666	But thy Faith is weake and ready to fayle thee?
A07666	But thy repentance is too late?
A07666	But to come to the tryall of afflictions( which is more proper to this place) how soone are the best men crushed and broken with the burden thereof?
A07666	But what madnes is this, to desire to know our end, of such as are ignorant of their owne?
A07666	But why will hee haue thy death so bitter and sharpe?
A07666	But will the forgetfulnesse of death preserue them from dying?
A07666	Can Death depriue him of Christ, which is all his comfort, ioy and life?
A07666	Can a woman forget her childe, and not haue compassion vpon the sonne of her wombe?
A07666	Can there be in him any want of wisedome, not to foresee the best?
A07666	Christ hath crucified our old man, and put to death our vice and corruption, and shall wee reuiue the same?
A07666	Christ hath triumphed ouer death, it bleedeth( as it were) and gaspeth vnder vs, and yet doe we tremble?
A07666	Could any punishment possible be sharpe enough for such a monstrous fact?
A07666	Demaund now, and behold, if Man trauell with childe?
A07666	Did not our Fathers eate the sowre grapes, and are not the teeth of their children set on edge?
A07666	Did the Apostles sing in Prison, and went away reioycing being whipped and scourged?
A07666	Doe we ouercome enemies without?
A07666	Doe wee flye?
A07666	Doe wee not see how many discommodities we vndergoe, and how ill this body of ours befitteth vs?
A07666	Doth the aduersarie vrge our debt?
A07666	Elisha could say to his seruant, Is this a time to take rewards?
A07666	Euen the sweetest of all flowers hath his thornes, and who can determine whether the scent be more delectable, or the pricks more perillous?
A07666	Faith is the foundation of our hope; for what can we hope for except we beleeue it?
A07666	Fearest thou to dye once, when thou dyest euery day by little and little?
A07666	For Faith is of things absent, of things hoped for, of things desired; and can wee desire any thing wee know not?
A07666	For how can there be satisfaction for our apostacie, but by our humilitie?
A07666	For if heauen be our country, what is this earth, but a place of banishment?
A07666	For if hee be rich that hath some thing, how rich is hee that is the maker and owner of all things, whom I enioy?
A07666	For in that man offendeth the Lord and creatour of all things, he offendeth also all the creatures together in him; whither therefore may he goe?
A07666	For shall it hale them forward to hell( like an executioner) and they not dislike it?
A07666	For what else doe we heare from the cradle, then lamentations& mourning for the dead?
A07666	For what great matters should we looke for in the graue, where rottennesse is our father, and wormes are our mother?
A07666	For what hath man committed which the Sonne of God, made man, hath not redeemed?
A07666	For what is it else to be dead, then to be no more aliue in the world?
A07666	For what is our miserie but to meete with his maiestie, except it be onely in the temple of mercie?
A07666	For what is this life but a heauie mierie way, clagging and tyring our feet and orher limbes?
A07666	For what knowest thou, whither tomorrow shall euer come?
A07666	For what man liueth and shall not see death?
A07666	For what shall not he see, who seeth him that seeth all things?
A07666	For why should a Christian man so feare the violence of Death, whose force is broken?
A07666	God willeth that he doth, and if thy will accord not with his, whether wilt thou blame of imperfection?
A07666	Hath he said, and shall not he doe it?
A07666	Haue wee had so many experiments of his loue, and should wee now doubt thereof?
A07666	He hath died for vs, that wee might liue no more to our selues, but to him which died for vs; which we must doe by faith?
A07666	He is the husband of his elect, and they his Spouse, who of right must defend and protect them, and therefore how can they miscarry?
A07666	He shall be saued?
A07666	Hee hath healed this water?
A07666	Hee which seeketh fonsuch friends, seeketh to God his assignes: for are they not his Deputies, to doe good to his Church and Children?
A07666	How acceptable therefore may death be, when in dying we sleepe,& in sleeping we rest from all the trauels of this toylesome life?
A07666	How did Death enter?
A07666	How did his enemies giue him vinegar to drinke, that reacheth out vnto vs the wine and Nectar of life and saluation?
A07666	How did sin appeare, and what is the strength of the same?
A07666	How doe they stretch out their hands with lamentable complaints?

A07666	How foolish are wee to feare a vanquished enemie?
A07666	How full of ignorance is the time of our infancie?
A07666	How many Crownes and Scepters lye pyled vp at the gates of Death?
A07666	How much better is it for thee to want a little hony, then to be swolne vp with a venemous sting?
A07666	How much better is it to want a little hony, then to be swolne vp with a venemous sting?
A07666	How often therefore is the Church of the Iewes incited in the Psalmes, to take vp this note of Praise( as the burden of their Song?)
A07666	How often( in this long Psalme) doth the Prophet stirre vp himselfe?
A07666	How sweet are thy promises vnto my mouth?
A07666	How truely may wee say of this our Dauid, thou art worth ten thousand of vs, yea worth a world of Angels?
A07666	How was hee proffered most bitter gall, that offereth to vs the heauenly Manna and food of our soules?
A07666	I meane, who is affraide to die, but such as haue no hope to liue eternally?
A07666	I say not of men, but of Cities and Empires themselues?
A07666	I will not feare in the euill day( saith the Prophet:) Is not the euill day the day of our end?
A07666	If God be on our side, who can be against vs?
A07666	If God had made Death, why did Christ weepe for Lazarus his death, for he ought not to mourne for that himselfe had made?
A07666	If God were the author of Death, how could hee but be the willer of the same?
A07666	If a golden prize be propounded to such as winne the race, and winne the goale; why step wee aside to follow flies and feathers in the ayre?
A07666	If diseases( which doe but make the way to death) be so dreadfull, what must the end and perfection of diseases be?
A07666	If he be the strength of our life, of whom shall wee be afraid?
A07666	If it be a moment, and a moment of so great importance, how is it passed ouer by worldly men so carelesly as it is?
A07666	If men forsake their own will,& submit themselues to Gods, what can be hard?
A07666	If our Iayle containe so great matters, what shall our Countrey and Kingdome doe?
A07666	If our birth allow vs to feede of bread in our fathers house?
A07666	If our comming in be with teares, is it a wonder that our going out be answerable?
A07666	If the Lord bee our light and saluation, whom shall we feare?
A07666	If the beginning of our being be the beginning of our paine, is it any maruell that such should be our ending?
A07666	If the departing out of this world, be an entrance into life; what is this world, but a graue wherein we are buried?
A07666	If the very remembrance of the ioyes of heauen so affect section 4 Gods Children, what will the fruition doe?
A07666	If there were so great Faith in the earth, as there is most sure reward in heauen, what loue should wee haue to the life to come?
A07666	If thou doe so great things for vs in our prison, what wilt thou giue vnto vs in our Pallace?
A07666	If thy enemies and thy friends be so well prouided for together in this life, what shall thy onely friends receiue in the life to come?
A07666	If to be deliuered out of the body, is to be set at liberty, what is this body else but a prison, a Iayle, and a dungeon?
A07666	If to enioy the sweet fellowship of God be the highest felicitie, why then to be kept from it, is it not the extreamest misery?
A07666	If wee will be Burgesses of heauen, we must be strangers to the earth: Where is the house of our Father, but in heauen?
A07666	In our tryals and temptations, we must first search out section 18 the cause, and ascend to God, pleading guilty, and crauing mercy at his hand?
A07666	Iobs children( so well brought vp by their Godly Father) were slaine by the ruine of a house, in a violent winde?
A07666	Is it not a wonder that so excellent a myrrour of nature should come to such a dishonourable, base, and loathsome estate?
A07666	Is my strength the strength of stones?
A07666	Is not this a goodly place, where teares and cares make their residence?
A07666	Is the Iudge become our Aduocate, and shall wee feare to goe forward to the throne of grace?
A07666	Is this house become a denne of theeues?
A07666	It is a filthy dunghill, couered with snow, faire without, and foule within: What channell is so filthy?
A07666	It is his place and office so to doe; Shall not the Iudge of all the world doe right?
A07666	It may be thou shalt liue long; wilt thou liue a long life and a wicked together, and be in danger to end thy life by a miserable and wretched death?
A07666	It ouer- floweth with dainties in the pining Desart of this world; Who is this that ascendeth from the Desart, flowing with delights?
A07666	It will requite vs as Nabal did Dauid: Who is the Sonne of Ishai that I should know him?
A07666	Let fooles( as they doe) make but a sport of sinne, and section 10 say with the old Epicures, What haue wee to doe with Death?
A07666	Let the world tosse and tumble how it list( as euer it doth) the rest of Gods children is pitched aloft, aboue the spheare of changable mortalitie?
A07666	Nay, rather section 11( saith Chrisostome) who is not against vs?
A07666	Now if the life be no more but a dreame of a shadow, what must we thinke of the glory of this world, which is shorter of continuance then mans life?
A07666	Now if this be no paine, why accuse we death of the paines( our life yeeldeth vs) at our departure?
A07666	Now simply not to be in the world, is it any paine?
A07666	Now what a ioy is it to consider the ioy of this most ioyfull day to all faithfull beleeuers in Iesus Christ, who shall be quit by proclamation?
A07666	Now who can complaine for being of such a condition, from which no man is excepted?
A07666	O arme of the Lord, rise vp as in old time, in the generations of the world; Art not thou the same that hast cut Rahab, and wounded the Dragon?
A07666	O good life( saith a holy Father) what a ioy art thou section 6 in the time of death?
A07666	O happy dying, and blessed death, which art made so gainefull vnto me; why should I feare thee which bringest all sorrowes and feares to an end?
A07666	O how loue I thy law?
A07666	O most blessed tabernacle?
A07666	O roaring Lyon, why doest thou fret and fume?
A07666	Of what impatiencie is it, not to endure that euill section 23 which together( with so many and mighty) is common vnto all men?
A07666	Oftentimes hath God knocked at the doore of our hearts, to put vs in minde of our mortalitie; for who hath not had experience of his declining nature?
A07666	Oh but thou seest what thou leauest in the world, but what after this life thou shalt inioy thou knowest not?
A07666	Oh how happy, and blessed is hee which with the onely desire and loue of eternitie pyneth away?
A07666	Oh miserable life how many deceiuest thou?
A07666	Oh( saith a holy Martyr) how loath is this loytering sluggard to passe forth, and goe forward in Gods path to heauen?
A07666	One demanding the proofe of another life, was asked section 2( for his answere) whether hee beleeued there was a God?
A07666	One rufully thus exclaimeth of Death: How quickly and sodainely stealest thou vpon vs?
A07666	Our dayes goe as an Eagle to her prey: and what are men but the prey of Death, which soareth after vs with an open mouth to deuoure vs?
A07666	Put thy trust in God, which is the helpe of our countenance, and our God?
A07666	Remember( I pray thee) that thou hast made mee as the clay; and wilt thou bring mee to dust againe?
A07666	Seeing hee hath broken the head of our enemie what should his taile so much trouble vs?
A07666	Seeing hee hath taken away our sinnes, what should any sorrow remaine amongst vs?
A07666	Seth liued nine hundred and twelue yeares, and after dyed,& c. And is not this a true table, most liuely representing our mortalitie and death?
A07666	Shall it arrest them, as a Serjeant, to appeare before their Iudge, and they not regard it?
A07666	Shall thy wondrous workes be knowne in the darke?
A07666	Shall we maintaine our Sauiours enemies, and giue life againe to these deadly poysons of our soules?
A07666	Shew mee( I say) the promise, and liue to morrow: But what doe I say?
A07666	Should not a people enquire at their God?
A07666	The Diuels doe challenge no good by Christ, but disclaime his mercies, person, and all his meanes: Oh what haue wee to doe with thee?
A07666	The Lord is on their side, and who can be against them?
A07666	The head will haue his members, God his elect, and Christ his redeemed, and where will hee haue them but in heauen where he is?
A07666	Their persons are odious, and how shall their actions be acceptable?
A07666	Then commeth the World, and will set abroach his section 3 baites: What wilt thou dye O man?
A07666	Therefore that we may be assured, that we truely haue and enioy these precious iewels of a sauing faith, and hope section 5 vnmoueable?
A07666	Therefore we reioyce( saith Paul of himselfe and the section 17 faithfull) in all our tribulations and afflictions, and why doe they reioyce?
A07666	Thinke wee to banish him his Countrey?
A07666	Thinke wee to imprison him?
A07666	This is his will, and who dare wrest it?
A07666	Thou Lord dost saue both Man and Beast, but how excellent is thy mercy( O God) to the children of men, that trust vnder the shadow of thy wings?
A07666	Thou that flowest with wealth, and gloriest in reputation, wilt thou know thy waight?
A07666	Thus wee see that the wicked are in hell liuing yet vpon the earth: but what is this to their hell hereafter?
A07666	Wee dye hourely, and as we grow our life decreaseth: for what is the beginning of Youth, but the death of Infancie?
A07666	What a dangerous Lethargie of the soule is this, when so many spectacles of mans mortalitie, before our eyes, can nothing moue vs?
A07666	What a dangerous course is it, neuer to awake Christ till the ship leake, and be in danger of drowning?
A07666	What a glory shall it be to behold that vniuersall Goodnesse, in whom are all good things?
A07666	What a wonder is this, that euery day we dye, and yet perswade our selues to liue for euer?
A07666	What account would one make of a stately building, if in case it should stand vpon a false foundation?

A07666	What is an infant but a bruit beast in the shape of a man?
A07666	What is more filthy then a man conceiued and borne in sinne?
A07666	What is the chaffe to the Wheate?
A07666	What man being farre from home, would not hasten to section 10 returne into his country?
A07666	What more Christian- like then a good and holy life?
A07666	What pleasure then shall wee haue, when we shall be in the company of Angels?
A07666	What pleasures are there amongst the inhabitants of heauen, which now feare death no more, and are sure to liue for euer?
A07666	What power haue I that I should endure?
A07666	What profit is it( say they) to walke in his wayes?
A07666	What profiteth it Homer, that now thou praise his Iliads?
A07666	What shall I say?
A07666	What should I speake of the shortnesse and swiftnesse of the same?
A07666	What then doe I say?
A07666	What then doe I say?
A07666	What then, wilt thou forgoe heauen, and yet escape hell?
A07666	What therefore shall I render to the Lord for himselfe?
A07666	What though they be vnpleasant?
A07666	What was this but a figure of Christ?
A07666	What will the wicked doe in the extremity of Gods iudgement?
A07666	What worlds of men are gone before vs?
A07666	What, are we all but grasse?
A07666	When Christ is the patterne( whose similitude wee beare) who can be discouraged vnder the Crosse?
A07666	When men forsake their owne wils, and submit themselues to Gods, what can be hard?
A07666	Where is safe and stedfast rest and assurednesse for the weake and wounded soule, but in the wounds of our Sauiour Christ?
A07666	Where should the members be, but where the head raigneth?
A07666	Where then shall we finde an infinite value, but in him who is onely and altogether infinite in himselfe?
A07666	Wherefore doe I behold euery man with his hands on his loynes, as a Woman in her trauell?
A07666	Wherefore hidest thou thy face?
A07666	Wherefore if our inheritance be that wee shall raigne as kings, why put we our selues in such slauerie of creatures?
A07666	Whereof commeth so great forgetfulnesse of almighty God, such negligence of preparing our selues to die?
A07666	Who are these that flie like a clowd, and as Doues to their windowes?
A07666	Who can be a Christian, and would not be like him, that would not die after him?
A07666	Who can hate man, whose nature and likenesse hee beholdeth in the humanity of God?
A07666	Who can make agreement with Hell and Diuels?
A07666	Who can put to silence the voyce of desperation?
A07666	Who is it then among vs( who feeling with S. Paul, the bondage of sin) would not also cry out with him; Who shall deliuer mee from this body of death?
A07666	Who is more dead then hee that carryeth fire in his bosome, sinne in his Conscience, and doth neyther feele it nor shake it out, nor tremble at it?
A07666	Who is the Almighty that wee should serue him?
A07666	Who loueth the shadow better then the substance?
A07666	Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods chosen?
A07666	Who shall say, onely this people is wise; and what Nation is so great, that hath ordinances and lawes so righteous?
A07666	Who then can be discouraged with the afflictions of this life, or enuy at the wicked to see their ease and peace?
A07666	Who then shall condemne vs, or what Iudge shall daunt vs, sith God hath acquitted vs, and Christ( that was condemned) hath iustified vs?
A07666	Who therefore will not be glad to exchange for the better?
A07666	Who would not traffique with so good a Chapman?
A07666	Why did the knees preuent mee?
A07666	Why doe we daily pray, that Gods Kingdome may come, section 16 seeing we take such delight to remaine in the prison of this world?
A07666	Why doe wee not then keepe a continuall watch ouer our soules, since we know not at what houre Death will assaile vs?
A07666	Why dyed I not in the birth?
A07666	Why is a Clocke so often disordered, and out of frame?

A07666	Why was I not hid as an vntimely birth?
A07666	Why?
A07666	Will God require bloud at the hand of man and beast, and shall he not require it at thine owne hand?
A07666	Will not hee dare to be an hypocrite, that durst be a villaine?
A07666	Will you steale, murther, and commit adultery, and sweare falsly, and come and stand before mee in this house, wherevpon my name is called?
A07666	Wilt thou deferre the matter, and thinke of it hereafter?
A07666	Wilt thou escape this dangerous poynt?
A07666	Wilt thou feare that once which is alwayes acted?
A07666	Wilt thou goe to heauen liuing in sinne as thou dost?
A07666	Wilt thou know how and in what sort thou fadest?
A07666	Wilt thou know the length of thy dayes?
A07666	Wilt thou then deliuer thy selfe out of this doubt?
A07666	Wouldest thou then willingly goe to heauen?
A07666	Yea, but God is vniust if hee bestow eternall life vpon malefactors?
A07666	Yet marke how wonderfully he is distempered in his passions, and taketh on?
A07666	Yet now( whiles God vouchsafeth meanes and time to liue) why doe we not prepare our selues in time?
A07666	a more strait prison he can not haue then his owne body, none more filthy, or more darke;& c. Will we kill him, and take him out of this world?
A07666	and all faces are turned into palenesse?
A07666	and amidst the pangs of death, is that a time to thinke of amendment of life?
A07666	and how shall they beleeue on him, of whom they haue not heard?
A07666	and how strangely hath hee compact them together?
A07666	and how well would they reward him?
A07666	and is not their remembrance as ashes vnder foote?
A07666	and is there of heauenly things any other true knowledge, then by faith grounded vpon the word of God?
A07666	and not desire to ascend on that ladder, which Iacob knew to be the gate of heauen?
A07666	and shall hee deliuer his soule from the hand of the graue?
A07666	and shall we wither like hay?
A07666	and that wee haue walked humbly before the Lord of hostes?
A07666	and thy righteousnesse in the land of obliuion?
A07666	and what is a young youth, but( as it were) a wilde vntamed Asse- colt vnbridled?
A07666	and what is an aged, heauy, and crooked old man, but euen a sacke and fardell stuffed with griefes and diseases?
A07666	and what is more cleane and beautifull then our Sauiour Christ conceiued by the holy Ghost?
A07666	and what is the beginning of to morrow but the death of to day?
A07666	and where of necessitie we must passe our daies with such companions?
A07666	and who is able to beare off the blowes of Gods displeasure?
A07666	appoynted for all eternitie, for himselfe and his friends to liue and raigne in for euer?
A07666	as the ground of faith is the word& promise; for why should we beleeue, but in respect of Gods promise?
A07666	but after this life finished, to dye in the Faith and feare of God, what more diuine?
A07666	but if his soule be disquieted, who dareth meete with the wrath of the Lord of hoasts?
A07666	can there be any want of power, not to effect the best?
A07666	canst thou tell how thou camest to be a stripling?
A07666	did we then feele any paine when we were not?
A07666	diseases within will also surprise vs?
A07666	either as infants that haue not seene the light?
A07666	for as much as he hath made all things become enemies vnto him?
A07666	for what can Sinne( the sting of Death) preuaile against vs, being pardoned in Christ?
A07666	for what firmenesse can be in the matter of flesh?
A07666	for who cast fire from heauen vpon his goods?
A07666	hath not their memory perished with their sound?
A07666	how canst thou delight thy selfe in feasting and banketting?
A07666	how canst thou desire so greedily to gather the prouision of this world, and be so forgetfull for the life to come?
A07666	how canst thou take here thy pastimes and pleasures?
A07666	how doubtfull is thy houre?
A07666	how heauy and vnweildy when we come to olde age?
A07666	how light and wanton are wee, growing to be striplings?
A07666	how many hath the earth swallowed vp, and the ayre choaked?
A07666	how rash and headlong in the time of our youth?
A07666	how secret are thy paths and waies?
A07666	how vniuersall is thy kingdome?
A07666	how will their hearts sustaine these anguishes?
A07666	let vs hate it: Is it for want of faith?
A07666	let vs repent and amend: Is it the loue of this world?
A07666	neuer to beginne to liue well, vntill wee be a dying?
A07666	or hath hee done it, and can not hee doe the same againe?
A07666	or how thou grewest to mans estate?
A07666	or is my flesh of brasse?
A07666	or procurement of life, but by suffering of death?
A07666	or putting him off, to put on the vile, and spotted garment of the flesh, by following the lusts thereof?
A07666	or thy faithfulnesse in destruction?
A07666	or what strength consisteth in such a weake subiect?
A07666	or when thou beganst to be an old man?
A07666	saying, Shall thy louing kindnesse be declared in the graue?
A07666	section 15 But how canst thou be perswaded of Gods fauour, who doth thus torment thee with sicknesse?
A07666	section 15 To one well resolued in these poynts, Death can be but sweet and agreeable to his minde: for what can hee feare, whose death is his hope?
A07666	section 2 Sathan first of all will thus be ready to assault vs. And art thou ready to dye O man?
A07666	section 20 Doth the Law indite vs of transgression?
A07666	section 3 Is it possible to forget whither wee are going?
A07666	section 4 But what speake I so much to true Christians, concerning the feare of Death, they hauing so many causes rather to imbrace the same?
A07666	section 4 Lastly, comes the Flesh( with trembling and quaking:) Why?
A07666	section 5 Who would be sorry to forsake this life, which can not but be most certain of eternall life?
A07666	section 7 And did not Iob see God( as they say) vnder Sathans cloake?
A07666	section 7 Marke well( saith one) what I say, that a man which repenteth not but at his latter end, shall be damned?
A07666	section 8 Dost thou perceiue( saith Ierome) when thou was made an infant?
A07666	section 8 Nothing better resembleth death then our sleepe, and when doe wee euer better rest then at that time?
A07666	section 9 What hurt is it to the inhabitant, to pull downe an old ruinous house, to build it vp againe, and make it more glorious?
A07666	shall bee deliuer his soule from the hand of the graue?
A07666	shall the foulenesse of his face, feare vs from his good conditions?
A07666	shall the hardnesse of the huske hinder vs from the sweetnesse of the kirnell?
A07666	should such a friend as it is be vnwelcome?
A07666	should we lust and long to liue in this loathsome, and laborious life?
A07666	should we take pleasure to remaine in this so dangerous estate?
A07666	should wee wish to tarry in this miserable wretchednesse?
A07666	since as the diseases are the malidies of the body, so Death it selfe the maladie of disease?
A07666	since what his power can doe, and what his wisdome seeth should be done, his loue no doubt hath done, because all are infinite?
A07666	that greater world, in whom all worlds are contained?
A07666	that whereas God had giuen them such liberty and freedome of all things, yet would not so much as obey him in this one?
A07666	the entrance of Manhood but the end of Youth?
A07666	the head will haue his members, the Bridegroome his spouse, God his elect, and Christ his redeemed; and where will he haue them, but where he is?
A07666	they answer, they can haue no assurance, for then how could they hope?
A07666	thou goest hence laden with euill deedes, and destitute of good?
A07666	vnlesse wee will fondly accuse the time, when as yet wee were not, of the paines wee felt at our birth?
A07666	what Elements hath he framed?
A07666	what better guide canst thou haue then him that dwelleth there?
A07666	what glorious heauens, and how wonderfull hath hee created?
A07666	what infinite Starres, and other Lights hath he deuised?
A07666	what is it else, but to be drowned in death?
A07666	what sight more lamentable?
