A61133May we discover any thing to the State we conceive of malignity or danger in Civil things, and not in Spirituals?
A61133Must Christs Government be just as large as the worlds, which Government affects Dominion?
A61133Must Christs government be just as broad and long as the worlds?
A61133Must our Presbytery be full as ample, as high, and supreame, as our Parliament?
A61133Nay, Who is the Sathan to whom the excommunicate are delivered?
A61133Nay, how doth a Heathenish or Paganish State, differ from an Antichristian or Parochial State, as Parochial or Parish is in that notion?
A61133Never such a pure Church heard on?
A61133No Heresie in a whole Kingdom?
A61133No Schism in a whole Kingdom?
A61133Now Reader, judge, Which government affects Dominion?
A61133Now whether is it more excellent to dream dreams, or to see visions?
A61133Now, How can a Church- covenant be both true and false?
A61133Now, if such changes and conversions were in material or sensible things, as from water to blood, from water to wine, how would it astonish?
A61133Now, what have you overthrown here?
A61133Set on?

A61133Those of your way are against a little Church- covenant, and why not a great one?
A61133Though you of the Assembly cast in of your aboundance, may not the poor ones cast in their mite?
A61133To that If against a speedy Government, then against a Government at any time, I answer, How do you infer that?
A61133To that of his, Is it good parting with the stakes?
A61133To your first I reply; It is true in civill government, rule there rather then try: But what is that to Church- government, or Discipline?
A61133To your other; Why should ye speak of the governments fluttering on a lime- twig at Westminster?
A61133To your third; What is that to the present Discipline what the Covenant abjures?
A61133WHat is a Presbytery over Congregations or a Congregation, but a Church gathered out of a Church?
A61133WHat kinde of government is marked out in Scriptures for sitting on the waters, or people?

A61133Yea, at liberty in Spiritualls?
A61133You know Episcopacy began in meeknesse, and Bishops were brought in first for good and for peace: But how proved they?
A61133You say, By whom should Magistrates be set on?
A61133You say, What?
A61133a National Church- covenant lawful, and a Particular or Congregational Church- covenant unlawful?
A61133a Nationall Church- covenant warrantable, and a Congregationall unwarrantable?
A61133and Peace to be no way to Truth?
A61133and is a Body so leprous, so wicked, so formal, so traditionally and Antichristianly corrupted, a fit Body?
A61133and what by the bellows?

A39663Again, are you his spiritual seed, his children by regeneration?
A39663Again, did God give Christ to such miseries and sufferings for me, how shall he withhold any thing now from me?
A39663Against a common prisoner?
A39663Ah friends, what a comfort is this?
A39663Ah, Christian, canst thou look upon Jesus as standing in thy room; to bear the wrath of a Deity for thee?
A39663Ah, what will the case of them be that go the other way?
A39663Alas, how can you imagine it?
A39663Alas, what are a few days and nights of sorrows, when they are past?
A39663Alas, whither wilt thou turn?
A39663An afflicted soul, in an afflicted body?
A39663And about the ninth hour Iesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lamasabachtani, that is to say, my God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A39663And are you better than they?
A39663And are you better than they?
A39663And as often the most apt and likely means are rendred wholly ineffectual?
A39663And can God shut the door of Glory upon such a soul, that by grace is made meet for the inheritance?
A39663And can it be imagined, that the Father will fail his trust; who every way accquitted himself so punctually to the Father?
A39663And did he die the violent, painful, shameful, cursed, slow, and succourless death of the Cross?
A39663And did that people get any thing by that?
A39663And do not your confessions oblige you to greater circumspection and care for time to come?
A39663And do the Prophets live for ever?
A39663And dost thou defraud him of his own?
A39663And doth it become you to be proud, selfish and stout?
A39663And doth not this engage you to look to your lives, and keep them pure?
A39663And except thou do make up all this to them another way; what will become of these children, when their Father is gone?
A39663And from whom shall I expect it?
A39663And he lift up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mothers Son; and said, is this your younger brother of whom ye spake to me?
A39663And how is the deliverance of men contrived from such persons?
A39663And how many have such as are worse than none?
A39663And how quickly did the rottenness of his principles discover themselves in the ruine of his profession?
A39663And how shall they be exercised without tribulations, can you tell?
A39663And if not, to what purpose are they?
A39663And if there be a sole sufficient cause in act, what hinders but the effect should follow?
A39663And in rebelling against them to rebell against the Lord?
A39663And in the next times, what more known, even to the Enemies of Christianity, than their fervent love one to another?
A39663And indeed had he been a sinner, what value or efficacy could have been in his Sacrifice?
A39663And is it not even so with you?
A39663And is it not hard for you to keep it down, or turn its course?
A39663And is it not so with those sent by him?
A39663And is it not so with you too?
A39663And is it strange that a poor deserted believer should mourn every time he looks heaven ward?
A39663And is not the Father of Spirits more full of bowels, more full of pity?
A39663And is not this a marvelous help to holiness of life?
A39663And it is as if he had said, O my Son, what shall be done for thee this day?
A39663And lastly, why did he ascend?
A39663And must it come to this Dismal Issue with you indeed?
A39663And now for which of all these kindnesses dost thou thus wrong and abuse me?
A39663And now our God, seeing thou hast given us such a deliverance as this; should we again break thy Commandments?
A39663And now what think you of all this?
A39663And shall I shrink for a trifle?
A39663And shall not all this engage you to God?
A39663And shall we not do as much for Christ, as we then did for the Devil?
A39663And sin, and confess?
A39663And suppose what thou imaginest, what is Twenty or Forty years when it is past?
A39663And then how had the promise of the Father been made good to him?
A39663And think with your selves now, was not this astonishing self- denial?
A39663And think you that they were idle on their parts?
A39663And thus you see what use your lives and actions shall be put to, and are these inconsiderable uses?
A39663And to how little purpose will be all that I have preacht, and you have heard of Christ, if it be not converted into practical godliness?
A39663And were not all these moulded out of the same Lump with you?
A39663And what an engagement doth it leave upon thy soul to obey, please and glorifie him?
A39663And what are the just aggravations of his fact?
A39663And what got he as a reward of his wickedness?
A39663And what greater evidence can there be that Christ set himself apart for you, than your setting your selves apart for him?
A39663And what had he spoken to exasperate them?
A39663And what manner of funeral Christ had?
A39663And what was the reason they forsook their Master, and left him to shift for himself when danger appeared?
A39663And what, my soul, hath thy carriage to Christ been, since this grace that wants a name appeared to thee?
A39663And when I had quickned thee, and made thee a living soul, what couldst thou have done without my exciting and assisting grace?
A39663And when he came into the world about it, with what a full and free consent did his heart eccho to the voice of his Father calling him to it?
A39663And when he had thus spoken, one of the Officers which stood by, stroke Iesus with the palm of his hand, saying, answerest thou the High- Priest so?
A39663And where is he that doth not so experience it?
A39663And whereas it is objected by some, if he fulfilled the whole Law for us by his active, what need then of this passive obedience?
A39663And who can abide in the fierceness of his anger?
A39663And who can discharge the Debtor, but the Creditor?
A39663And who can refrain from tears that hears or reads it?
A39663And who more persecuted?
A39663And why are faith and repentance prescribed as the means of pardon?
A39663And will he fail to make it good, when the time of the Promise is come, as at death it is?
A39663And with the vehement longings of their souls to be with Christ?
A39663And yet do you refuse him, and shut your hearts against him?
A39663And yet how few stir a foot towards Christ?
A39663And yet will not you live strictly and purely?
A39663And yet will you be careless still?
A39663And yet will you not be weaned from the lusts, customs, and evils of it?
A39663Are all these bonds tied with such slip- knots that you can get loose, and free your selves at pleasure from them?
A39663Are souls so wounded and prejudiced by their separation from the body, that they can not subsist or act separate from it?
A39663Are the fruits of sin like the fruits of obedience?
A39663Are there no mournings, meltings, hankerings after the Lord?
A39663Are there not many eyes upon you?
A39663Are they like those which the Redeemer suffered for our deliverance?
A39663Are they not privy to your secret wickedness?
A39663Are they not swallow''d up as a spoonful of water in the vast Ocean?
A39663Are you at any time staggering through unbelief?
A39663Are you at the very bottom, and not a man below you?
A39663Are you born of the Spirit?
A39663Are you fallen like the Ship in which Paul sailed, into a place where two Seas meet?
A39663Are you feeble and infirm?
A39663Are you not by them made partakers of his holiness?
A39663Are you not only turned Gods enemies, but your own too?
A39663Are you obliged or not, to this purity of life?
A39663Are you persecuted and afflicted for Christs sake?
A39663Are you poor?
A39663Are you reproached?
A39663Art thou too little touched, and unaffected with the evil of sin?
A39663As a Lamb for meekness, shall his Subjects be Lyons for fierceness?
A39663Aut argumentoram pondere firmiorem assensum cogit?
A39663Be righteous Judges, and tell me, whether you find an heart willing to forsake God?
A39663Besides, what pleasure in sin can you have?
A39663Bread and Wine are naturally fit to refresh, and nourish our bodies; but what fitness have they to nourish souls?
A39663But Thirdly, Whither did he ascend?
A39663But alas how oft doth advancement make us forget him?
A39663But are there any such in the world?
A39663But can you do so?
A39663But how could that be?
A39663But how durst he attempt such a wickedness as this, however he had stood in the opinion of Caesar?
A39663But how then should Christ have born the heat and burden of the day?
A39663But if God allow, yea and provide a sacrifice himself; how plainly doth it speak his intentions of peace and mercy?
A39663But if such a liberty as this be yielded, what may not men make the Scriptures speak?
A39663But then, whoever found him so, that tried him?
A39663But what is the finger of a man, to the soul of Christ?
A39663But what means this objection?
A39663But what speak I of your fearlesness of death?
A39663But what wilt thou do when thou shalt stand at the Bar and see that God who is thine enemy upon the throne?
A39663But where is that woman recorded, that gave her own flesh and blood to be meat and drink to her children?
A39663But who by dying can satisfie, and reconcile God?
A39663C ● jus modi voluptatis hactenus inexpertus sui?
A39663Can God exact satisfaction from the blood and death of his own Son, the surety of Believers; and yet still demand it from Believers?
A39663Can any doubt, if God have pardon for enemies, he hath none for children?
A39663Can any sorrows be greater than these?
A39663Can man thunder with an arm like God?
A39663Can not I be excused?
A39663Can not you find weeds enough there, that need such winter weather as this to rot them?
A39663Can such a sinner as I be forgiven?
A39663Can we commit the treasure to him, and not a trifle?
A39663Can we finish that which Christ himself could not?
A39663Can you expect he should gratifie your desires, when you make no more of grieving and displeasing him?
A39663Can you please your selves in displeasing your Father?
A39663Can you see none on earth in a more miserable state than your selves?
A39663Canst thou think on it, and not melt?
A39663Care you not whether they be saved, or whether they be damned?
A39663Christians, will you not all yield to this?
A39663Come sinner, come, dost thou make light of the threatnings of the wrath of God against sin?
A39663Come( said he) why do we tremble thus, do we not see our head above water?
A39663Consider with thy self man, how canst thou imagine thou canst support that infinite wrath that Christ grapled with in the room of Gods Elect?
A39663Contemn his rewards, take no delight or care to please him?
A39663Could God love us, and yet not be reconciled and satisfied?
A39663Could he get no other hand but the hand of an Apostle to assist him?
A39663Could ministers, could Angels have done that for the which I did?
A39663Could not he bear, and dost thou think to bear it?
A39663Could the Word have converted thee without me?
A39663Couldst thou go on in the way of Duty, if I had not led thee?

A39663Did Christ ascend so triumphantly, leading Captivity Captive?
A39663Did Christ come from the bosom of his Father for this?
A39663Did Christ die the death, yea the worst of deaths for us?
A39663Did Christ face the wrath of men, and the wrath of God too?
A39663Did Christ go to Heaven as a fore- runner?
A39663Did Christ leave this Ordinance with his Church, to preserve his remembrance among his people?
A39663Did Christ only buy your Persons, and not your services also?
A39663Did Christ pour out his soul to God, so ardently in the garden, when the hour of his trouble was at hand?
A39663Did Christ stoop so low as to become a man to save us?
A39663Did Christ stoop so much, and can not you stoop in the least?
A39663Did Christ stoop, and can not you stoop?
