A66355 | Does my walk please God, or provoke him? |
A66355 | Does not he say you are vain and vile? |
A66355 | Dost not thou find, that this lightness is even risen to prophaneness? |
A66355 | Dost not thou place thy Interest in things which are vain and destructive? |

A66355 | It''s a while before you are fit ro learn, or do any thing; but when you are capable, how commonly are you remiss and sloathful? |
A66355 | It''s long before thou askest thy self, What do I live for? |

A66355 | Let me ask thee, art not thou foolish, if thou judgest Salvation to be what it is not? |
A66355 | Mayest thou talk Obscenely? |

A66355 | Must this be written on thy Grave- stone? |
A66355 | No, no, Sirs, you will feel it to your Cost: Is thy poor Soul less precious, and less valuable? |
A66355 | No, not one: Not one? |
A66355 | Not love thy Christ, who bled out his Soul in love to thee? |
A66355 | Not to fear Hell and Misery, which will force thee to weep and wail, and gnash thy teeth for ever? |
A66355 | Now young Man, is it not Folly in thee to expect Heaven, when thou hast nothing which Christ hath instituted as a means of that Glory? |
A66355 | Now, Sirs, whence is it? |
A66355 | O put it to your selves; what answer canst thou return? |
A66355 | Oh Servants, look what God makes your Duty in Scripture, will that allow you to be idle, insolent, or wastefull? |
A66355 | Oh ask your selves often, What am I doing? |
A66355 | On what account wert thou baptized? |
A66355 | Ordinarily the first dictates proceed from Vanity, and shall that prescribe when Life and Death depend on thy Resolves? |
A66355 | Ought you upon every fault question your Interest in this Covenant? |
A66355 | Our lips are our own, who is Lord over us? |
A66355 | Pray ask your selves, Am I vain, or am I not? |
A66355 | Pray let''s a little consider: Thou Child or Youth, hast thou had no sence of Hells misery ever upon thy Heart? |
A66355 | Q What else doth the Gospel contain? |
A66355 | Q. Doth the Law of Innocency provide no way for thy deliverance out of that misery? |
A66355 | Q. Doth the Spirit nothing in order to the making the Soul earnest and willing to this? |
A66355 | Q. Wherein lies the life and power of Religion? |
A66355 | Reason a little with thy own Soul: Have I not better things to think of, than these silly matters, which tend to no good for Soul or Body? |
A66355 | Shall God say, Here''s a Youth void of Wisdom, because he would not ask it? |
A66355 | Shall thy Tongue which is his Glory, be employed to his Dshonour? |
A66355 | That I may fasten this Conviction, I call every Soul to answer me; what art thou nearer God to this day? |
A66355 | The Author of this Book is Solomon; will you regard what a Great Man saith? |
A66355 | Therefore oft tell thy remiss Soul, This day is past, that week is over, and shortly time will be at an end, and shall I idle as I do? |
A66355 | This confirms the former: Is God at pains with Youth to make them better? |
A66355 | Thou hast lived in vain to the Church; what increase or Glory hath it reaped by thee? |
A66355 | To finish this, how many sturdy resolute Young People are here? |
A66355 | Try your mayes, are they under the Government of Grace or of Lust? |
A66355 | Upon whom does it lye in point of Duty, as it does upon you? |
A66355 | WHat art thou? |

A66355 | canst thou justifie this course of living? |
A66355 | canst thou think of this believingly, and cast off restraints, or give a Carnal Mind it''s scope? |
A66355 | do you know what you must lose by sin, and suffer for sin, better than God knows? |
A66355 | do you still grow more vain, or more serious? |
A66355 | dost thou hope to live for ever, and neglect Christ? |
A66355 | dost thou know what he''ll do better than himself? |
A66355 | doth thy behaviour contribute to this at all? |
A66355 | hast thon yet got an Interest in Christ? |
A66355 | hast thou been yet truly humbled for Original Sin? |
A66355 | hast thou ever aimed at this? |
A66355 | hast thou never been convinc''d that''t was ill to Lye or Swear? |
A66355 | have no good desires stirr''d in thy Soul? |
A66355 | have not the Mercies of God, have not the preservations of God towards you, been so many Teachers? |
A66355 | how can it be, that young people should grow vainer and vainer, instead of better and better? |
A66355 | how canst thou seem to answer these, by a trifling diversion, or a perishing advantage? |
A66355 | how do reproach and penury wait thy persisting in this Course? |
A66355 | how much is Sin mortified? |
A66355 | how shall I dwell with everlasting burnings? |
A66355 | if it be best to be in Hell, why should they always Complain there? |
A66355 | is it not Folly to expect Life and despise a Saviour, yea, trample his Blood under thy Feet? |
A66355 | is it not Folly to hope to be saved by Christ, and yet believe the Devil rather than him, and prefer the Dominion of others before his Government? |
A66355 | is it not a true Charge, which I lay to thee? |
A66355 | is living to the Flesh valuable? |
A66355 | is not the Eye of thy God and Judge more than all the World? |

A66355 | is there need to make it next to impossible? |
A66355 | is there nothing after Death, that they should live in preparation for? |
A66355 | is this a Temper to be allowed? |
A66355 | is this a state to be quiet in? |
A66355 | is this a thing allowable? |
A66355 | must I now stop my Vanity? |
A66355 | must not he love thee, young Man, who pleads with God ready to cut thee down, Lord, let him alone this year longer? |
A66355 | nay, how knowest thou but that they be Satans whispers which thou executest, when Fancy is thy Guide? |
A66355 | or do you think that Children are now so harmless, that they need not to be corrected? |
A66355 | or have you a mind to continue what you are? |
A66355 | or is thy Sin not worth being concerned about? |
A66355 | ought not the Creature to observe the Laws which his Creator gives him? |
A66355 | ought they not to make me serious, and importunate with your Souls? |
A66355 | shall I delay to know, and love, and fear my God, who must do it soon or never? |
A66355 | shall Satan serve himself of thy parts, and of thy strength, and of thy opportunities? |
A66355 | shall not Christ heal thee of that Nature, which the Devil introduced? |
A66355 | shall the Devil say of thee, Here''s a Child, I hope, will do me a great deal of Drudgery? |
A66355 | shall thy Soul that was made for God, be a Cage of unclean Birds? |
A66355 | should you be fond of that which sin introduced, and will obstruct your healing whiles it prevails? |
A66355 | that God has cry''d to you, Turn unto me, why will you die? |
A66355 | that think of many years, before Death and you can meet; how many younger than you are already rotten in their graves? |
A66355 | the case of young ones is curable, but why is it not altered before now? |
A66355 | the oldest of us are sure to stumble without the Word; what then can young ones do? |
A66355 | then fear a Lye: Wouldst thou be a Child of God? |
A66355 | then thou must not lye: Art thou afraid of burning in Hell for ever? |
A66355 | what Grace hast thou attained to this very time? |
A66355 | what Treasure hast thou laid up in Heaven? |
A66355 | what business art thou fit to do? |
A66355 | what but Grace can win thy Consent to Christ, now when the Devil and the World are strongly bidding for it? |
A66355 | what can be said worse of thee, than that thou art thus? |

A66355 | what will become of you, if you proceed this way? |
A66355 | what will damn thee, if such Vices will not? |
A66355 | what will my sins bring me to? |
A66355 | what will you be able to answer? |
A66355 | what''s all the World to me, if I perish for ever? |
A66355 | what, not love thy Father and Mother, to whom thou art so indebted? |
A66355 | what, will you lie to God now? |
A66355 | when I must stand at Gods Tribunal to be judged, what shall I answer? |
A66355 | when shall it once be? |
A66355 | where is there a Family but groaneth under some disaster? |
A66355 | whither am I going? |
A66355 | who can be damned if thou be saved? |
A66355 | why a Slave to base Lusts? |
A66355 | will Theft, Drunkenness, Swearing, Prophaneness, think you, lead to Heaven, after all these discoveries of God''s resolves? |
A66355 | will a provoked God lye for thy sake? |
A66355 | will he always bear this? |
A66355 | will you be perjur''d now? |
A66355 | will you believe all the wise People that know you? |

A66355 | yea, is not Life it self as bad as Death, whiles it serves to no higher an end? |
A66355 | you are deceived: do n''t you think God was angry with the Children whom he slew by the Bears, for deriding the Prophet? |
A66355 | you see why the Charge is so common: Will you then apply what I shall say to your selves? |
A66355 | — Is there any that can talk at this rate? |

A10659 | Againe I demaund, How doth it appeare unto mee, that the Iudgment of the Church is infallible, when it alone is the warrant of my Faith? |
A10659 | Alas, may the Soule answere, if it be a weight, how shall I moove it? |
A10659 | Am I not a poore mortall Creature, brother to the Wormes, sister to the Dus ● …? |
A10659 | And Hazael to the Prophet, Is thy servant a dog, to rip up women and dash infants to pi ● … ces? |
A10659 | And Saint Paul the other, from their reason unto Faith in God, Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the Dead? |
A10659 | And how thinke wee did Davids murther and adultery pull downe the pride of his heart when ever it offered to rise in any Heavenly action? |
A10659 | And is not that a good worke which proceedeth from the supplies of the Spirit of God? |
A10659 | And is that which Moses and the Prophets esteemed a priviledge and honour become now a yoke and burden? |
A10659 | And now if the best workes of wicked men are so uncleane and full of filthinesse in Gods eyes, where then shall appeare their confessed sinnes? |
A10659 | And now whither should a poore Soule, which is thus on all sides invitoned with feares and dangers, betake it selfe? |
A10659 | And q what manner of love is this, saith the Apostle, that we should be called the Sons of God? |
A10659 | And the first is Touching smallsinnes whether they may be said to be raigning sinnes? |
A10659 | And what a wofull thing is it for a man to live and die in an estate much more miserable then if there never had beene any Iesus given unto men? |
A10659 | And what is the Church, but the Bodie of Christ, the congregrtion of the faithfull, consisting of divers members? |
A10659 | And when in any of these I am overtaken, doe I bewaile my weaknesse, and renew my resolutions against it? |
A10659 | And who had not rather be free in a cottage, then condemn''d in a palace? |
A10659 | Are wee not all a royall Priesthood? |

A10659 | Behold hee smote the Rocke that the Waters gushed out, and the streames overflowed; but can hee give bread also, can he provide flesh for his people? |
A10659 | But a man will say, how shall I doe to follow Christ? |
A10659 | But doe we then make God the Author of sinne? |
A10659 | But have not the wicked some measures and proportions of the Spirit given them, by which they are enabled to do those workes they doe? |
A10659 | But how can the soule be patient under such heavie and such close corruptions? |
A10659 | But how can this be? |
A10659 | But how doe I know either this word to be Gods Word, or this spirit to bee Gods spirit, since there are sundry false and lying spirits? |
A10659 | But how shall we do such unfeasible works? |
A10659 | But how then was it added? |
A10659 | But if Christ be not onely a Saviour to Redeeme, but a Rule to Sanctifie, what use or service is left unto the Law? |
A10659 | But if one who is uncleane by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be uncleane? |
A10659 | But it may be objected, Have not other Graces the same object as well as Faith? |
A10659 | But it may be objected, doth God use to doe good to those that hate him, and that even for the things which himselfe hateth in them? |
A10659 | But it may here further be objected, How can I beleeve under the weight of such a finne? |
A10659 | But now how or why doth the Church beleeve these or these truths to bee divine? |
A10659 | But though his heart be evill, may not his actions or his words be good? |
A10659 | But what is it to keepe the Creature from the spirit? |
A10659 | But what then? |
A10659 | But what then? |
A10659 | But what? |
A10659 | But you will say ▪ To what end serves any such combate? |
A10659 | But you will say, All these were at the time wicked men, what is that to nature in common? |
A10659 | By what autority shall it be decided, or into what principles á priori resolved? |
A10659 | Can I in all estates without murmuring, impatiencie, or rebellion, cast my selfe upon Gods mercie, and trust in Him though He should kill me? |
A10659 | Can a man carrie the world into hell with him to bribe the flames, or corrupt his tormentors? |
A10659 | Can a wicked man doe nothing but sinne? |
A10659 | Can hee give bread also and flesh for his people? |
A10659 | Can that which is intrinsecally, naturally, inherently uncleare purifie it selfe? |
A10659 | Can thy encrease of charge or occasions, exhaust the Treasures, or drie vp the Fountaines and truth of God? |
A10659 | Consider but two things; First, what an vngratefull thing? |
A10659 | Consider what God is? |
A10659 | Cursing from such a man as Iob, after so much patience and experience from God? |
A10659 | Did Christ frequently pray both with his Disciples, and alone by himselfe, and shall Inever either in my family or in my closet thinke upon God? |
A10659 | Doe I love all divine truth, not because it is proportionable to my desires, but conformable unto God who is the Author of it? |
A10659 | Doe I not build either my hopes or feares upon the faces of men, nor make either them or my selfe the rule or end of my desires? |
A10659 | Doe I not carry about with mee a soule full of corruptions, a skinne full of diseases? |
A10659 | Doe I wholly renounce all selfe confidence and dependance, all worthinesse or concurrence of my selfe to righteousnesse? |
A10659 | Doe the promises of God stand in need of mans wisedome or strength to bring them to passe? |
A10659 | Doe we not love Christ, and feare Him, and hope in Him, and desire Him, as well as Beleeve in Him? |
A10659 | Doe we provoke the Lord to Iealousie, are wee stronger then hee? |
A10659 | Dost thou live by thine owne strength? |
A10659 | Dost thou prosper by thine owne wisedome and industry, or by the blessing and truth of God in his promises? |
A10659 | Doth it not runne downe from the head to the skirts of the garment? |
A10659 | Doth not the Scripture account the Law a priviledge, an honour, an ornament to a people? |
A10659 | Doth the Law make men beleeve, or beget Faith? |
A10659 | Fearefulnesse in such a man as Abraham after so much protection from God? |
A10659 | Fifthly, in thy progresse, How often hast thou stumbled? |
A10659 | First whether sin may raigne in a Regenerate man so, as that this power and kingdome of sinne shall consist with the righteousnesse of Christ? |
A10659 | First, Sinne will abide for the time of this mortall life in the most regenerate, who can say, I have made my heart cleane, I am free from my sinne? |
A10659 | First, how ungratefull? |
A10659 | Flee for ● … ication( saith the Apostle) why? |
A10659 | For how can men beleeve without a teacher? |
A10659 | For the same reason which compels men to come in, is requisite also to keepe them in; else why doth not God utterly destroy sinne in the Faithfull? |
A10659 | Fourthly, It raigneth without any fruite, hope, or benefit, What fruit had you then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? |
A10659 | Fourthly, if the number of them can thus amaze, O what shall the roote of them doe? |
A10659 | Fourthly, when it prevailes to set thee indeede a worke, how exceedingly dost thou faile in the measure of thy duties? |
A10659 | Fretfulnesse and frowardnesse of spirit in such a man as Ionah after such deliverances from God? |
A10659 | God forbid: and yet is he to doe that, in doing whereof he did commit murther? |
A10659 | God will not be honored with a lie: shall a man lie for God? |
A10659 | Gods law, and that in the whole extent and latitude thereof, without any allowance, exception, or reservation? |
A10659 | Hath he wrought so great deliverance, and laid up such unsearchable riches for my soule? |
A10659 | He that loveth not his brother whom hee hath seene, how can hee love God whom he hath not seene? |
A10659 | How apt are we still to quench and grieve the Spirit? |
A10659 | How are wee led captive to the law of sinne which is in our members, so that wee can not doe the things which we would? |
A10659 | How by both? |
A10659 | How can these things consist together, He commands us to doe that which hee promiseth to doe himselfe? |
A10659 | How can yee beleeve since yee seeke for glory one from another? |
A10659 | How doe we faint and waxe weary of well- doing? |
A10659 | How litle improvement in spirituall knowledge or experience? |
A10659 | How little growth in strength? |
A10659 | How long will it be ere they beleeve me, for all the signes which I have shewed amongst them? |
A10659 | How long will it bee ere they beleeve in me? |
A10659 | How long will this people provoke mee? |
A10659 | How many Atomes and streames of dust doth a beame of the Sunne shining into a roome discover, which by any other light was before imperceptible? |
A10659 | How many desperate temptations doth beauty cast many men vpon? |
A10659 | How much more then in the best workes of unregenerate men? |
A10659 | How much wearinesse and revolting of heart? |
A10659 | How often hath Gods heavy displeasure declared it selfe from Heaven in the confusion of nature? |
A10659 | How shall I difference these lights will you say? |
A10659 | How shall I give thee up Ephraim, It is spoken to backsliding Ephraim; How shall I deliver thee Israel? |
A10659 | How shall I make thee as Admah, how shall I set thee as Zeboim? |
A10659 | How shall it invincibly appeare to my Conscience that other Churches and Bishops all, save this onely, doe or may erre? |
A10659 | How shall wee secure our lives against such a siege of snares? |
A10659 | How should we praise God that hath given us any strength in any way to doe him service? |
A10659 | I have enough already, what needs this zeale, this pressing, this accuratenesse, this violence for heaven? |
A10659 | I say, how much more reason ● … ave we, then any Gentile could have, to consecrate all our enterprises with Prayer unto God? |
A10659 | Idolatry from such a man as Salomon after so much wisedome from God? |
A10659 | Ieremy what seest thou? |
A10659 | If David were constrain''d to pray Open mine eyes to see more wonders in thy Law, how much more are we to pray so too? |
A10659 | If God will doe more for his mercie, then for his wrath and vengeance, why then are not more men saved, then condemned? |
A10659 | If Hee have given us Christ, how shall He not with Him freely also giue us all things? |
A10659 | If I drinke in the raine, and bring forth nothing but thornes, how neere must I needs be unto cursing? |
A10659 | If Moses had beene a Prince of peace, how easily might he have instill''d peaceable and calme affections into the mutinous and murmuring people? |
A10659 | If all the foure windes should meete together in their full strength, what mountaines would they not roote up by the foundation? |
A10659 | If he let fall such crums unto dogges, how aboundantly would hee provide for me if I were his Childe? |
A10659 | If my Atomes be Mountaines, O what heart is able to comprehend the vastnesse of my mountainous sinnes? |
A10659 | If one beare holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt doth touch fl ● … sh shall it be uncleane, saith the Lord in the Prophet? |
A10659 | If the Salt bee infatuated, every thing must be unsavoury, if the foundations faile, what can the people doe? |
A10659 | If their prayers and devotions stinke, how much more their oathes and execrations? |
A10659 | If their sacrifices and that which they offer to God is vnclean, how uncleane is their sacriledge and that which they steale from him? |
A10659 | If this be all the reward we haue for waiting and calling upon God, to what purpose serve our humiliations and fastings? |
A10659 | If to use thy hands or feete, looke unto them, there are seeds of more sins, theft, bribery, murther, adultery( what not?) |
A10659 | Impatiency from such a man as Ieremie after such revelations from God? |
A10659 | In one word what more honourable then to obtaine the end for which a thing is made? |
A10659 | In stead of my luxurie and delycacies, become my selfe the foode of wormes? |
A10659 | In stead of my purple and scarlet, be cloathed with rottennesse? |
A10659 | In tota anima,& in toto corpore conditorem habeopacis Deum, quis in me seminavit hoc bellum? |
A10659 | Is every man to be herein a follower of Christ? |
A10659 | Is hee now contrary to himselfe? |
A10659 | Is my flesh of brasse, or my bones of iron, that I should thinke to hold out, and without interruption to enjoy these earthly things? |
A10659 | Is not his fidelitie as firme towards weake and poore, as towards rich beleevers? |
A10659 | Is not my breath in my nostrils, where there is roome enough for it to goe out, and possibility never to come in again? |
A10659 | Is not my obedience mercenarie, but sincere? |
A10659 | Is not the poore soule in my bosome an immortall soule? |
A10659 | Is that which is good made death unto me? |
A10659 | Is the Law then against the Promises of God? |
A10659 | Is there any want or weakenesse, any poverty or deficiency in heaven? |
A10659 | Is there not a Moth in my richest garments, a Worme in my tallest Cedars, a Canker and rust in my fi ● … nest Gold to corrupt and eate it out? |
A10659 | Is thy servant a Dog that hee should doe this great thing, To dash children to pieces, and rip up women with childe? |
A10659 | It may be further objected, How can wee bee Holy, as Christ is Holy? |
A10659 | It may be objected, doe not other graces joyne a man unto Christ, as well as Faith? |
A10659 | M ● … st nothing be preached but damnation and Hell to men? |
A10659 | May I not, nay must I not within these few yeeres, in stead of mine honour, be laid under mens feete? |
A10659 | Must it not have a being, as long as there is a God who is able to support it? |
A10659 | Now for a word of the third Case, Why every sinne doth not raigne in every wicked man? |
A10659 | Now then I demand, what is that whereby I doe assent unto this proposition( in case it were true) That the Church can not erre? |
A10659 | Now then if wicked workes could not prevent the Love of God, why should wee thinke that they can nullyfie or destroy it? |
A10659 | Now, have not all the faithfull of this unction? |
A10659 | O Hell, where is thy victorie? |
A10659 | O Lord, what a nature and heart had I, that could commit sinne without any 〈 ◊ 〉, without any incentive but from my selfe? |
A10659 | O where is that faith in men which should overcome the world, and the things of the world? |
A10659 | Or how is Faith able to hold mee up under so heavie a guilt? |
A10659 | Or if they were, yet are not the Creatures themselves subject to period and mortalitie? |
A10659 | Over Sathan and Hell, p O Death, where is thy sting? |
A10659 | Peter did not aske, Master is it 〈 ◊ 〉? |
A10659 | Quid est hoc monstrum? |
A10659 | Quid tibi facturus est Tentator? |
A10659 | Saint Paul could truly say,* It was no more I that sinned; but did he charge his sinnes therefore upon Satan, or upon the World? |
A10659 | Saint Paul who triumphed and insulted over all the rest, over the World, o Who shall separate us from the Love of Christ? |
A10659 | Secondly, what a foolish thing it is to be Gods enemies, as every man is that continues in sinne without returning unto him? |
A10659 | Shall I requite evill for good to the hurt of mine owne soule? |
A10659 | Shall I that am reserv''d to such honour, live in the meane time after the lusts of the Gentiles, who have no hope? |
A10659 | Shall tribulation, or distresse, or persecution, or famine, or nakednes, or perill, or sword? |
A10659 | Shall wee admit a doctrine which over- throwes the Law and the Prophets? |
A10659 | Tell me, O thou whom my Soule loveth, where thou lodgest at noone? |
A10659 | That is carefull to redeeme all his pretious time, and to make every houre of his life comfortable and beneficiall to himselfe and others? |
A10659 | That is, How shall I make mine owne Church as the cities of Sodome? |
A10659 | That spares sufficient time to humble himselfe, to studie Gods will, to acquaint himselfe with the Lord, to keepe a constant Communion with his God? |
A10659 | The Israelites were weary of gathering straw, but were the Task- masters weary of exacting it? |
A10659 | The fourth Question is, Whether naturall concupiscence may be esteemed a raigning sinne? |
A10659 | The last Question is, Whether sinnes of omission may be esteemed raigning sinnes? |
A10659 | The members may be weary of serving their law, but is the law of the members weary of quickning or commanding them? |
A10659 | The third Question is, Whether sinnes of ignorance may be raigning sinnes? |
A10659 | The third particular inquire into was, How we doe by Prayer sanctifie the Creature to our selves? |
A10659 | Thirdly, why every sinne doth not raigne in every unregenerate man? |
A10659 | To drive and compell them; why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as doethe Iewes? |
A10659 | To which of the Creatures said God at any time, Let us create it after our image? |
A10659 | Was that then which is good made death unto me? |
A10659 | What a fearefull condition then are all men out of Christ in, who shall have no interest in His resurrection? |
