A63913When did Imagination give Life to a Fly, or do the least act out of it self?
A63913Whether he conceived his Mind to be now as clear, as active, and as vigorous as it had been some few days before his Ilness?
A63913Who knoweth the Spirit of Man that goeth upward, and the Spirit of the Beast that goeth downward to the Earth?
A63913Why former Heroes fell without a Name?
A63913Why not their Battles told by lasting Fame?
A63913aut cur illa non tollit?

A63913into what is it resolved?
A63913or on what account do we frequent any Places, either of Publick or Private Worship?
A63913or to sue out Prohibitions in the Court of Heaven to hinder the Effects of Justice there?
A63913that is to say, whether he can write or forbear, speak or be silent, according to his will?

A45400( Is not one of these as truly future, as the other, when the man is not yet borne?)
A45400Again you aske, can God seriously call him, who[ he sees] will never repent, seriously do that he sees useless, and absolutely ineffectuall?]
A45400And how then is this reconcileable with the doctrine of sufficient grace alwayes accompanying the word?
A45400And this introduceth the fourth and last question, What then is it that renders sufficient Grace Effectuall both to Conversion and Perseverance?
A45400And what if Godsees from all eternity that he will thus fall, doth that render his fall unavoidable?
A45400B. is truly salvable whilst you retain your supposition that he is damned?
A45400B. will never rise again, how do you know, or imagine God sees it, but because you suppose it true, that he will never rise again?
A45400But 1. Who urged that former argument in that forme?
A45400But I can not confine Gods foreknowledge to this one head, for why may he not also see,( and as easily,) that this, and that will both be?
A45400But if some things be possible to come to passe, which yet do not come to passe, why may not God see they will not come to passe?
A45400But say you, his understanding can be no more actuall then the thing is from whence he derives that understanding,] what truth is there in this?
A45400But you take no heed to the place of Scripture, which I demonstrated it by, turne you, turne you, why will you dye?
A45400By it''s own insufficiency or impropriety to the disease, or by the obstinacy of the patient, that he will not take it?

A45400I may not unfitly ask this question, whether they think God had then that kindness to Absolom that David had?
A45400I must ask by what meanes it comes to passe that that medicine will do him no good?
A45400I now ask you, how you know he is?
A45400I pray, is nothing possible to come to passe, but what actually comes to passe?
A45400I presume you do not, can not; And then why may he not as well know what is future?
A45400If he had not, how can it be drawn into example to God?
A45400If he sees them as they will be hereafter, sure this is sufficient, who would desire any more?
A45400Is it all one to our purpose, whether I commit sin freely, when I had grace to abstain from it, or God cause or work it in me?
A45400Is that a mistake which is perfectly true?
A45400Let it then be granted that Gods understanding depends on the thing, what followes thence?
A45400Must all this now be imputed to Gods ignorance how all things would frame in the world in this other course, which yet it appeares he hath chosen?

A45400Why do you not lay this to heart, when it is so cleare, and( you yet give me your leave to say,) unanswerable?
A45400Would you think it tolerable for any Christian to say hereupon, it was vain, for Christ to do all this?
A45400Your supposed intricacy, or unfathomable question, is, what it is that makes sufficient grace to be effectuall to any?
A45400before his conversion,( and then for the gaining of Gods savour what needed his conversion?)
A45400how long shall we thus madly defeat our selves, lose that Christianity which we pretend to strive for?
A45400of not- resisting; which what is it other then a direct contradiction, a power and not a power to the same act?

A70812( every one that will say so) How then shall your Armies be made up?
A70812( not to speake of many of our frowardnesses, when our selves only are in fault) and even visibly manifest Vnbeleefe and Distrust?
A7081212, 13, 14. Who is the wise man that may understand this?
A7081221, I will send a sward among you, to avenge the quarrell of my Covenant?
A70812Adding hereunto the latter part of the sixth verse, Wherefore should GOD be angry with thee and destroy the work of thy hands?
A70812And afterward, how ill can we endure to have any complaint against them, when yet there is all the reason in the world to complaine?
A70812And doe we not see the like in the other Sacrament?
A70812And forgettest the LORD thy Maker?
A70812And have not we our selves found somewhat like this, more then once?
A70812And how can these then be tolerated without Breach of Covenant?
A70812And if He take vengeance upon their sins, even as theirs, shall not we be enwrapped in the mischief of in?
A70812And if the Righteous shall scarcely be saved where shall the Vngodly and the Sinner appeare?
A70812And if they should now conquer for us, what shall we doe with them afterward?
A70812And indeed doe we not very often thinke this excuse enough for us; that the generall Sway of people goes thus, and they will have it so and so?
A70812And is not Anabaptisma, at least as, maintain''d by divers, Schisme, and contrary to sound Doctrine?

A70812But how is the case altered if it prove to be a child or a kinsman, a friend or even but a servant?
A70812But how will GOD take this at our hands, doe we thinke?
A70812But specially how did GOD take it at Elies hand, though a good man?
A70812Can this be possible, that from a heart so calmed and setled in Faith and Joy, such a suddaine storme should arise of monstrous and horrid impatience?

A70812How low had our sins brought us the last yeere about this time?
A70812How many Errors, and strange opinions are there to be found even among such as are all pretenders to the way of Truth?
A70812I beseech you, if GOD will have it to be unalterable,( as He will if His Word tell us so much) shall we dare to say, We will not have it so?

A70812Is not this the quarrell of the warre, because Delinquents are protected against the hand of Justice?
A70812Is there not much selfe- seeking apparant in all kind of undertakings?
A70812Is this the fruit of our Covenant?
A70812Is this, think we, the amendment that GOD lookes for at our hands?
A70812Let us therefore looke what we have done all of us in pursuit of our Covenant?
A70812May not a Multitude be forborne in Errour?
A70812Now is there not among us a great deale of guilt in this kind?
A70812Now what was that which made him doe thus?
A70812Or can you, without destraying all bonds of Civill Converse, and wholly overthrow of all Humane Judicature?
A70812Or may We endure them, without His displeasure against our selves?
A70812Or what Bounds or Limits can there be set to men any way, if this opinion of Liberty of Conscience, as it is pleaded for, shall be admitted?
A70812Or who can almost find in his heart to engage himselfe in a taske, whose certainest wages from men is like to be displeasure and rage?
A70812Propriety of goods: Will you afford them their Liberty herein?
A70812Specially when men deale perversely with us?
A70812Table( Idolatries, Blasphemies, Heresies,& c.) then in those against the second?
A70812Table, then against the second?
A70812There be those that say their Conscience is against all taking of an Oath before a Magistrate?
A70812Was this the meaning of any in this particular, to promise enough, but intend to performe nothing?
A70812Weepe for your selves and for your children, for if these things be done in the greene tree, what shall be done in the dry?
A70812What shall GOD doe with us, if all these things will not amend us?
A70812What should I speake of Oathes, Cursings and Blasphemies?
A70812What we have neglected?
A70812What would become then of all your own Authority, and of all Lawes, and Liberties of the Kingdome?
A70812Where then will your Armies be paid?
A70812Will Christ, I say, endure these things?
A70812Will you allow an Vniversall Liberty of this?
A70812Would you know who they are?
A70812Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination and ye defile every one his neighbours wife, and shall ye possesse the Land?
A70812You eate with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your Idols and shedde blood, and shall ye possesse the Land?
A70812You thus and thus misbehave your selves, and shall you have peace?
A70812ambitious putting themselves forward, and practises to make themselves rich, by every imployment?
A70812and even upon some parts of our owne Kingdome and Nation?
A70812and frequently cry that things grow every day worse and worse; and that we are not able to abide it if it continue thus with us but a while longer?
A70812and how little doe we usually tremble at the hearing of them?
A70812and however, is it not apparently most contrary to the Power of Godlinesse?
A70812and in stead thereof to have our spirits ensnared( enslaved) with the Feare of Men?
A70812and possibly even to be their Agents and Instruments to doe very badde Acts for them and with them?
A70812and prove corruptors of others, that now seeme to be of a better temper?
A70812and so purposed, and practised from time to time?
A70812and tell Him they meane nothing lesse then to be humbled in heart before Him?
A70812and the Church of GOD peaceably setled in a holy Reformation?
A70812and upon this Venture upon Actions which GOD hath not allowed us?
A70812and what we are yet a doing?
A70812and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it?
A70812how partiall are we to those that are our own?
A70812or at least now are they at liberty to doe nothing of what they have so solemnely and sacredly promised and sworne?
A70812or delayed?
A70812or how did GOD take it at Samuels hands, that he was so partiall to his sons, as hath been noted?
A70812or suffer them to plead that they have merited an exemption from all restraint of their licentiousnesse?
A70812or that such and such thinke or speake so as well as we, and gave us the example before we ventured upon it?
A70812shall you have setling?
A70812shall you possesse the Land?
A70812that for One Achan not sought out, Israels Army was overthrowne?
A70812that the pretence of Conscience shall claime a Liberty in that which concernes GODS Honour, and not in that which concernes men?
A70812when none is with us, but GOD and our own consciences?
A70812when women dare come hither with their bare breasts, and spotted faces, and garish apparell, is not this as it were to outface GOD?
A27163And hath the reigne of our now Soveraigne King Iames beene free from these Sinons?
A27163And should I lye still, and see my Countrey set on fire by the persecution?
A27163And under what colour can the Popes usurpe this Authority, to quit and discharge subjects of their oath wherewith they are bound to their Superiors?
A27163And what should a man doe in this case?
A27163And yet who perceiveth these small things?
A27163Are there fruit and no trees?
A27163Be a tempest without winde?
A27163But what got he by it?
A27163But what of that?
A27163But what was the end of this Tyran?
A27163Can a ship sayle without a Pylot?
A27163Can it raine without a cloud?
A27163Can you behold all the secrets of nature?
A27163Can you behold the winde?
A27163Can you see the secrets of your owne bodies, your entrailes, your heart and your braine?
A27163Can you see the sweet smell of fragrant flowers along the fields?
A27163Did not the Lord turne his mischief upon his own head?
A27163Doth it not deserve to be punished with Scorpions?
A27163Doth not every thunderclap constraine you to tremble at the blast of his voyce?
A27163For who would follow the Law upon a thiefe, when he knoweth he shall rather run into further charge, than recover any of his old losse?
A27163God forbiddeth us to sweare by his name in vaine: and yet what is more rise than that?
A27163How far then were they from giving leave and liberty for filthy and stinking brothel- houses to be erected and maintained?
A27163How many murders are, have been, and still will be committed thereby?
A27163How many young folke are there, as well men as women, that by this meanes give themselves over to loosenesse, and undo themselves utterly?
A27163How much more then for prophaning and deriding his Word?
A27163How much more then for the abusing and contemning the Sacraments?
A27163How much more then is the Lord enraged, when they are scoffed at, derided, and set at naught?
A27163How unspeakable are his judgements?
A27163If then such pastimes were by the judgements of the Romanes noted with infamy, shall we have their equals in follies in better account?
A27163Is it the denying of a mans selfe?
A27163Is not this a manifest and profest disobedience, and intolerable rebellion against our Maker?
A27163Is not this the way to provoke his wrath, and stirre up his indignation against them?
A27163Is not this to declare himselfe openly to be Antichrist?
A27163Is not this to plucke a soul out of the House of God, and thrust it into the house of the devill?
A27163Is there a day without a Sun?
A27163Is there nothing but a voice, a singing of birds, or an harmonious consort of musicall instruments in the world?
A27163Nay who dare take knowledge of them?
A27163Now as this fact was a doing, a blind man ran by, being led by his dog; who hearing one groane, asked who it was?
A27163Now then if the very threatnings ought to serve for such good use, shall not the execution and performance of them serve much more?
A27163Now what was the cause of this lamentable destruction of this holy City, of the Temple and Sanctuary of the Lord, and of his owne people?
A27163Or a house be built without a Carpenter or builder?
A27163Or of Nero that slew his mother Agrippina, who was continually after pursued with a spirit in his mothers shape?
A27163Or of the evil spirits that haunted the grave of that cruel Tyrant Caesar Caligula?
A27163Or that he lies upon a Beacons side, With watchfull eye to circumscribe their traine, And hath no more regard unto their paine?
A27163Or the son to come after the father?
A27163Or wherein could these Devils incarnate shew forth their malice more apparently than thus?
A27163Or who is so fond as to put affiance in them?
A27163Plants and no seeds?
A27163Psalme proclaimeth his judgement: Why boastest thou in thy wickednesse thou Tyran?
A27163Say, you hogs and dogs, doe you not beleeve that which you see?
A27163Stephen Gardiner also, was one of the grand butchers in this land, what a miserable end came hee unto?
A27163The famous and rich Temple of Iupiter at Apamea, how strangely did it come to ruine and destruction?
A27163The putting off the old man touching our conversation in this life?
A27163The spirituall regeneration?
A27163Thus was the first city and temple destroyed: and did the second fare any better?
A27163To the Law, and to the Testimony?
A27163Was not his life indangered, and his body kept in close prison, where he cooled his feet two yeares or more?
A27163Wat shall we thinke of Manasses?
A27163What a disorder, confusion, and ignominy of nature is it, for a father to lie with her with whom his son had been but a little before?
A27163What childe is there that is not bound to honour and reverence his father?
A27163What cursed madnesse and impiety is this?
A27163What greater villany could there be than this?
A27163What more cruell fact( considering the person) might be committed?
A27163What more notable and wonderfull judgement could happen?
A27163What more wicked sentence was ever pronounced?
A27163What must wee therefore doe?
A27163What profits then the sheephooke of their Guide?
A27163What servant, that is not bound to obey his master, and to doe all that he shall will him?
A27163What shall I say of the Earle of Arundell, and a second Earle of Northumberland?
A27163What should I speake of the house of Eubatis in Corinth, written by Lucian?
A27163What subject, that is not tied in subjection to his Prince and Soveraigne?
A27163What viler disgrace could there be than this?
A27163Which if it be true, what is then the cause that in stead of serving and pleasing him, they doe nothing else but displease and offend his Majesty?
A27163Who seeth not here manifest traces and footsteps of Gods providence?
A27163a man to be so forgetfull of his Maker and himselfe, that he preferred his whores before his Saviour, and his filthy pleasure before the grace of God?
A27163and lastly, who dare assay to punish them?
A27163answered, Doe wee not cast from us lice and flegme which are also bred of our bodies?
A27163did hee not procure the death of six thousand men at one clap, at the discomfiture of Marius?
A27163doe not these speeches bewray a villanous and abhominable Atheist, if ever any were?
A27163from the living to the dead?
A27163or if your eyes be bored out that you can not see, must you thinke there is no Sunne nor light, because your eyes are in darknesse and blindnesse?
A27163or of Otto that slew his predecessor Galba; after which he never ceased to be molestred with fearful and terrible visions?
A27163out of Heaven, into Hell?
A27163than which, what greater apostasie or falling from God can there be?
A27163who can accuse a duety of piety?
A27163who dare sit down to judge them?
A27163who dare stand up to accuse them?
A70182& not to the bodie B?
A70182* How is it that those that are under continual temptations to vice, are yet kept within the bounds of vertue, and sobriety?
A70182* Matter can do nothing but by motion, and what relation hath that to a moral contagion?
A70182* that any thing may be a suitable means to any end?
A70182And can they be Physically divided into parts of which they do n''t consist?
A70182And how can their deliverance be effected?
A70182And how can we be assured of that, if we know not that Veracity is a perfection?
A70182And how oddly does it look, that one solitary Individual of a Species should exist for God knows how many ages alone?
A70182And if he will the contrary to be true, namely, That he does not Exist, what becomes of him then?
A70182And if there be lapsed Souls there, how shall they be recovered?
A70182And indeed what can be absolute Soveraignty in an intelligent Being, if this be not?
A70182And shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
A70182And that in the best and noblest pieces of his Creation?
A70182And then I would ask him, how he came to know what he affirms so boldly?
A70182And what a Paradox is this, that our Understandings, as our Eyes, are made onely for things revealed?
A70182And what am I concern''d then in his sins, which had never my will or consent, more than in the sins of Mahom ● t, or Julius Caesar?
A70182And what could God do more correspondently to his Wisdom and Goodness, dealing with free Agents, such as humane Souls are, than this?
A70182And what difference betwixt Impossibility and Necessity?
A70182And what great matter is it if they be not, provided they be as they are and ought to be, Divine?
A70182And what greater Absoluteness than this?
A70182And who knows but this might be part at least of that Glory which, he says, he had before the world was?
A70182And why were we drawn out of our nothings, but because it was better for us to be, than not to be?
A70182And yet that others, that have strong motives and allurements to the contrary, should violently break out into all kinds of extravagance and impiety?
A70182But did you take this for any shew of a proof?
A70182But if all alike live in bodies of air in the next condition,* where is then the difference between the just and the wicked, in state, place and body?
A70182But it will be said,( 3) If our Souls liv''d in a former state, did they act in bodies, or without them?
A70182But shall the righteous perish with the wicked?
A70182But the Patriarch Abraham was of another mind, Shall not the Judge of the whole Earth do right?
A70182But then you will say, What is the door and lock to this terrible place?
A70182But whither am I going?
A70182But who does not at first sight discern the weakness of this Allegation?
A70182But will it be said, why did not the divine Goodness endue us all with this moral ● ability?
A70182But( 2) Why is it so absurd that the Soul should have actuated another kind of body, before it came into this?
A70182Can any one say that our supposition derogates from the Divine concourse or Providence?
A70182Could not the Eternal Logos and the Ministry of Angels sufficiently discharge that Province?
A70182Does Mental and Sensitive Nature act on Brutes and Vegetables and all the Passive Elements?
A70182Doth it use to make and presently destroy?
A70182FOR can it be imagin''d that every Argument can be made a proportioned Medium to prove every Conclusion?
A70182For how can that be the effect of an equilibrious or sufficient Free Will and Power, that is in a manner perpetual and constant?
A70182For if they can act so fully and beatifically without any body, what need there be any Resurrection of the body at all?
A70182For their Prince is the Prince of the Air, as the Apostle calls him; and where can his subjects be, but where he is?
A70182For what a kind of Wisdom or Justice would that be that tended to no good?
A70182For what can infinite Wisdom be, but a steady, and immoveable comprehension of all those natures and relations?
A70182For what should make any mass of Matter one, but that which has a special Oneness of Essence in it self, quite different from that of Matter?
A70182For who shall be the common Seeds- man of succeeding Humanity, when all mankind is swept away by the fiery deluge?
A70182For why may not this Earth be the onely Hospital, Nosocomium or Coemeterium, speaking Platonically, of sinfully lapsed Souls?
A70182For, would the world have been too little to have contain''d those souls, without justling with some others?
A70182Had it not been better for us to have been made in this condition of security, than in a state so dangerous?
A70182Here therefore I demand, Are we not to thank him and praise him for his actions of Wisdom, Justice, and Holiness, though they be necessary?
A70182How can a Body that is neither capable of sense nor sin, infect a soul, as soon as''t is united to it, with such vitious debauched dispositions?
A70182How can such a cause produce an effect so disproportionate?
A70182How does this consist with Gods fresh creating humane Souls pure and innocent, and putting them into Bodies?
A70182How then can the Idea of God chiefly consist in this?
A70182How then should the Soul remember what she did or observ''d many hundreds, nay thousands of years ago?
A70182If I was then newly Created when first in this body; what was Adam to me, who sinned above 5000 years before I came out of nothing?
A70182If all were Eye, where were the Hearing,& c. as the Apostle argues?
A70182If bounded by Wisdom and Justice, why is it bounded by them, but that it is better so to be than otherwise?
A70182If so, how comes it about that at last they can all so well consist together?
A70182Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own?
A70182Is it possible there should be such a kind of Geometry, wherein any Problem should be demonstrated by any Principles?
A70182Is not this to ● lurr his goodness, and to strait- lace the divine beneficence?
A70182Is there a word said in his revealed Will to the contrary?
A70182Is this an effect of those tender mercies that are over all his works?
A70182Matter can do nothing but by motion, and what relation hath that to a moral Contagion?
A70182Moreover the Question of the Disciples,* Was it for this mans sin, or for his Fathers that he was born blind?
A70182Nay, than in the sins of Beelzebub or Lucifer?
A70182Or what need of such a contraction in the Spirit of Nature or Plastick Soul of the corporeal Universe, that it may be contrived into a Nut- shell?
A70182Quid jucundius quàm scire quid simus, quid fuerimus, quid erimus, atque cum his etiam Divina illa atque suprema post obitum mundique Vicissitudines?
A70182Therefore before I go further, I would demand, whence comes this meer notional or speculative variety?
A70182To frame one thing and give it such or such a nature, and then undo what he had done, and make it another?
A70182Was it for this mans sin, or his fathers, that he was born blind?
A70182What a distorted and preposterous account is that found, that God should punish men before they sin, because he foresees they will sin?
A70182What is then: mere Will and Power left alone, but a blind Hurricane of Hell?
A70182What reason can be more clear or more convincing, That God can create a Spirit in the proper sense thereof, which includes Indiscerpibility?
A70182What remains then to be his Humiliation, but the condescending to assist and countenance the unclean endeavours of Adulterers and Adulteresses?
A70182What then is that action which proceeds onely from that part from which Goodness is secluded?
A70182What was it that gave us our being, but the immense goodness of our Maker?
A70182When it was just and wise for God to do so or so, and the contrary to do otherwise, had he a freedom to decline the doing so?
A70182Where is then the difference betwixt the just and the wicked, in state, place, and body?
A70182Where should he use his Understanding and Reason, if not in things unrevealed in Scripture; that is, in Philosophical things?
A70182Whither then can this Sol redivivus or the Earth turned wholly into the Materia subtilissima again be carried, but into the Sun it self?
A70182Who acquainted him with the Divine Counsels?
A70182Why should God make the Spirit of a Flea, which was intended for the constituting of such a small Animal, large enough to fill the whole world?
A70182Why therefore may we not lapse as before?
A70182Why?
A70182Will not the sincere and vertuous both in the Earth and Air be secured from this sad fate?
A70182and how shall we know it is so, unless there be an intrinsecal relation betwixt Veracity and Perfection?
A70182and if it be an humbling and debasing of him, how is it glorious?
A70182be said neither to have done good nor evil, if they pre- existed before they came into this world?
A70182or, hath he by his holy pen- men told us that either of the other ways was more sutable to his beneplaciture?
A70182or, would they by violence have taken any of the priviledges of the other intellectual Creatures from them?
A70182shall Christ undergo another and another death for them?
A70182that any Object may be conformable to any Faculty?
A70182the state of silence and insensibility?
A70182would not the difference be insensible, and the scandal, if any, the same in both?
A42547( for so the Holy Ghost calls him) wherein did he play the fool, but in suffering his thoughts wholly to run after outward perishing things?
A4254712.: Behold he taketh away, who can hinder him?
A4254712.: Behold he taketh away, who can hinder him?
A42547And how hath the Lord sent a dreadful Fire upon London, and it hath consumed the lofty buildings and Palaces thereof in September last?
A42547And who dareth or can object the least injury done unto him?
A42547Are any dangers so great, any enemies so strong, that I can not shield thee against them?
A42547Are they falsly accused, and thrown into prison?
A42547Are your lusts your Centurions still?
A42547Art thou rich and wealthy, thou mayst be brought to beggery and penury?
A42547Art thou slandered and disgraced with calumnies by enemies?
A42547As God complained of the Jews, Is it time for you to dwell in your seiled houses, and this house lye waste?
A42547As Moses said, What is the presence of an Angel, if we have not the presence of God with us?
A42547Behold he taketh away, who can hinder him?
A42547Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him?
A42547But hath fire suddenly taken hold upon thy house, destroyed thy house, and consumed thy whole substance?
A42547But it may be objected, did God take them away?
A42547But suppose that I did go the right way, yet sure I did but creep as a snail in it?
A42547But what Absalom?
A42547Christ thereby sheweth what measure they must expect in case they will be his Disciples: Are you rich, expect to be poor for my sake?
A42547Consider what is the reward of our neglect of seeking heaven; even an eternal abode in hell?
A42547Did not he say while he was upon earth, The Birds of the ayr have nests, and the Foxes have holes, but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head?
A42547Did not sins of all sorts and kinds abound in the great City, before God consumed great part of it with fire?
A42547Did not those five Apothecaries compound and make up this very Wormwood, this meer Aloes, this bitter Gall?
A42547Dost thou now swim in wealth, and is thy substance encreased?
A42547Doubtless then both had sinned; but their sin was not the cause why he was born blind; what then?
A42547Earthly- minded persons seek for satisfaction from earthly things; therefore there be many that say, Who will shew us any good?
A42547God was pleased to give you a respite, to set you at liberty, and have not many of you again hardened your hearts, and refused to let your sins go?
A42547HOw is it that nothing here is of continuance?
A42547Had Abraham left his native Country, his Kindred, all save one Lot, and was he also gone from him to dwell in Sodome?
A42547Hast thou the possessor of heaven and earth in thy possession?
A42547Have we not need then to day, while it is called to day, without delay to seek heaven, and life which continueth for evermore?
A42547Have you houses and Lands, expect to forsake all these, if I require it?
A42547He saw a hand; what hand?
A42547How did divers persons come to Christ, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
A42547How do multitudes of men make lusting after a woman the end of their looking upon them?
A42547How long you shall continue here is uncertain; who knoweth when and how soon he shall depart hence?
A42547How many among you, had abundance of all things, and yet gave poor pittances, God knoweth, and that with murmuring and repining hearts?
A42547How many famous Towns and Cities are become ruinous heaps?
A42547How many might have been seen in every corner of the great City, who drank daily till they could drink no more?
A42547How many mischiefs do some wicked blind men commit, yea from what evil almost do they abstain?
A42547How often do they take the garments which should cover the nakedness of their needy brethren for a pledge?
A42547How pleasing is Chains when God is with us, and sets our souls at liberty?
A42547How should every one of us hasten to this City, travelling thither with all his might, and longing to be there?
A42547How tenderly affected was Job, with every particular mans distress?
A42547If there be no man without sin, then doubtless not his Parents; and was not he himself born in original sin?
A42547Is it not a madness for any man to think to finde more satisfaction in them than King Solomon did?
A42547Is it not injurious to God to say so?
A42547Is not eternal life of unspeakable worth?
A42547Is not he a fool to be laught at, that will brag of a clean Band, and hath a foul dirty face, and will not wash it?
A42547Is not he condemned for a very fool that takes more care to be comly, proud, and rich in apparel, than to he healthy?
A42547Is not life eternal in heaven most precious?
A42547Is there any possibility for our souls to be happy without enjoying God?
A42547Is there any thing more precious than God?
A42547Is this to do like Abraham, to command your children& servants to keep the way of the Lord?
A42547It can not be resisted: whatsoever he pleaseth, he taketh away; who can hinder him, or cause him to restore?
A42547It may be to morrow, it may be this night, or this hour, who can tell?
A42547It ought not to be controuled: Who will say unto him, what dost thou?
A42547May I not do with mine as I please?
A42547Might not one say, Lord why sayest thou, Thy Father put this Cup into thine hand?
A42547Now here is destruction threatned, and who shall do it?
A42547O how many have been guilty of this sin in City and Country?
A42547O the unhappiness of mankind, saith S. Augustine; The world is bitter, and yet we love it: if it were sweet indeed, how should we then dote upon it?
A42547O who can suffer the pains of eternal death?
A42547Oh how dwelleth the love of God in such, saith the Apostle?
A42547Oh how many are there in the world whose hearts would die within them, were these temporal things taken from them?
A42547Oh how sweet is the yoak when God fastens us to it?
A42547Oh then make it your work, your care, your business, your one thing necessary to seek after the heavenly City: Will ye have everlasting life?
A42547Oh what swarms of drunkards might be seen in some great Town or City in one day?
A42547One asked an Heathen Philosopher, what God was doing?
A42547One reason given is, because the fruits of the earth are not so nourishable and healthful as before the flood?
A42547Or is it credible that in his life time he had added no actual offences to it?
A42547Ought not Christ to have suffered these things?
A42547Quid Prophetabant?
A42547S. Augustine speaks excellently to this purpose; Doth the gold shine in the Furnace of the Goldsmith?
A42547Set not your hearts upon these unstable things: O yee sons of men, how long will ye love vanity?
A42547Shall I take my bread, and my water, and my flesh, that I have killed for my Shearers?
A42547Shall there be evil in a City, and the Lord hath not done it?

A59814And can there possibly be a more lovely Idea and Representation of Power than this?
A59814And can we think then, that an infinitely wise Being, should be as unconcerned for the World, as the Ostrich is for her Eggs?
A59814And does not this suppose weakness and want of Power, to want any thing else?
A59814And have we any reason then to quarrel with God, only because we know not how he deals with the ignorant Heathens in the next world?

A59814But I would gladly know whence they have this Notion of Creating Goodness, that it must make no Creature which can make it self miserable?
A59814But can they tell what kind of Uniformity and Stability of Providence it is, would please them?
A59814But does not every man know the difference between the good of the End, and the good of the Means?
A59814But the present Enquiry is only this, Whether this be Human Reason, the natural Reason of Human Minds?
A59814But what consequence is there in this, that God ca n''t be Holy, nor his Providence Holy, because Men are wicked?
A59814But what is it that God ca n''t do, who has all Nature at his command?
A59814But will any one say, that this is to govern men like men?
A59814But would any man think this a good Argument against the Holiness of a Prince and his Government, that he has many Wicked Subjects?
A59814But yet the Question is not, What use the World did make of this?
A59814But, What use they might have made of it?
A59814By how many seeming Accidents and casual Events was Ioseph advanced to Pharoah''s Throne?
A59814Can he who hates all Wickedness, contribute any thing to make Men more wicked than otherwise they would be?
A59814Can they then tell me, what it is that ca n''t be?
A59814Casu, inquis?
A59814Did God then intend that there should be no different ranks and degrees of men in the world?
A59814Did he harden him against believing Moses, and those Miracles which he wrought in the Name, and by the Power of the God of Israel?
A59814Did not God make Men and Angels as perfect as their Ideas?
A59814Did they take him, and by wicked hands crucify and slay him by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God?
A59814Do not men intend to supply some real or imaginary want in all the Injuries they do?
A59814Do they mean every one who does a wicked action; or every impenitent and incorrigible sinner?
A59814Do we think it any diminution to any man''s goodness, that he will not give, unless he be asked?
A59814Does any good man think himself bound, tho he know our wants, to supply them without our asking?
A59814Does any thing more become Creatures?
A59814Does government signify destroying the nature of those Creatures which are to be governed?
A59814Does not God know our wants before we ask?
A59814Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?
A59814For all these questions at last resolve themselves into this, How the Mind of man acts and determines it self?
A59814For can a Holy God punish Sin with Sin?
A59814For if Man be a meer Machine, who moves as he is moved, how can he deserve either Well or Ill?
A59814For if it be the will of God that we should suffer such things, why should we be angry with the men who do them?
A59814For is it not great perverseness to charge God with doing such things unjustly, as it is possible might be done for wise and just Reasons?
A59814For is it possible for Absolute Power to want?
A59814For making men Rich or Poor, Honourable or Vile?
A59814For must we believe, That God will do every thing for us, which we trust in him to do?
A59814For sending Peace or War, Plenty or Famine?
A59814For translating Kingdoms and Empires?
A59814For what does St. Peter say was done by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God?
A59814For what is wanting on God''s part to make Man as happy as he can be here?
A59814For who hath known the mind of the Lord, or who hath been his Counsellor?
A59814For would they have God reward every good man, and punish every wicked man, or reward and punish every man for the good and evil that he does?
A59814For would you desire that every sin you commit should be immediately punished, without any time to repent, without any hope of Mercy?
A59814Gird up now thy loins like a man, for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me: Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?
A59814Has God any where promised to give us whatever we trust in him for?
A59814Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days, and caused the day- spring to know his place?
A59814Hast thou entred into the treasures of the snow?
A59814Hath he smitten them, that is Israel, as he smote those that smote him?
A59814Have they any such notion in their minds?
A59814He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him and hath prospered?
A59814He smote Israel, but not as he smote the Enemies of Israel; Or is he slain, according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?
A59814He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct?
A59814He that planted the ear, shall he not hear?
A59814How contrary to all the Notions we have of God, and his kind and gracious Government of his Creatures?
A59814How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord, for ever?
A59814How many Complaints does the Psalmist make against his Enemies, those who were wrongfully his Enemies?
A59814How passionately does he pray for Protection against his Enemies?
A59814How say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?
A59814I desire any man to tell me, how God, who is a Pure Invisible Mind, could possibly give a more visible Demonstration of his Presence and Power?
A59814If the Wisdom of God be unsearchable, why should we not allow his Wisdom in Governing the World, to be as unsearchable as his Wisdom in Making it?
A59814If then there be no fault to be found in the Idea of a Reasonable Creature, was there any defect in the Workmanship?
A59814If we believe that infinite Wisdom and Goodness takes care of us, what need we know any more?
A59814If we make him our Enemy, who can save us out of his hands?
A59814In measure when it shooteth forth wilt thou debate with it?
A59814Is any thing more casual than a Lot?
A59814Is it possible there should be a happier temper of mind than this?
A59814Is it that we observe such Events as we know not how to reconcile with the common Rules of Justice?
A59814Is not the Idea of a Reasonable Being, and a Free Agent, the Idea of an Excellent and Happy Creature?
A59814Is there any Happiness like the Happiness of a Reasonable Nature?
A59814Is this the natural government of free Agents, to take away their liberty, and freedom of choice?
A59814Job 31, 32,& c. Canst thou bind the sweet influences of the Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
A59814Mans goings are of the Lord, how then can a man understand his own ways?
A59814May not God have very wise and just Reasons for lengthening some mens Lives, and for shortening others?
A59814Must a Merchant confidently expect a safe and advantageous Voyage, if he trust in God for it?
A59814Nay, how can the Providence of God do this, without making men Vertuous and Vicious too, by Necessity and Fate?
A59814Nay, indeed, how can any man hope and trust in God, when he has no assurance that he shall obtain what he hopes for?
A59814Nay, is there any thing that deserves the name of Happiness besides this?
A59814Nay, when the Wisdom of Providence is principally seen in the government of Fortuitous Events?
A59814Nay, would not every man say, That this is the most Perfect and Absolute Form of Government in the world?
A59814Now in answer to this, let us consider in the first place, Whether these Objections do not prove too much?
A59814Now what an ill state were Mankind in, did not a Wise and Merciful Hand Govern what we call Chance and Fortune?
A59814Now what can be more just than this, for God to suffer the Devil to blind those men who will not see?
A59814Now what did God harden Pharaoh in?
A59814Or does he need to be informed by our Prayers, what we would have him do for us?
A59814Or does he want to be intreated and importuned?
A59814Or does the Nature and Reason of Providence infer any such thing?
A59814Or if he ask fish, will he give him a serpent?
A59814Or what farther evidence would they have desired, that it was God who spoke to them?
A59814Or whether it be a self- moving Being, and determines it self from the Principles of its own Nature, and its own free Choice?
A59814Should every Sinner be punished in this world according to his deserts, what man is there so just and innocent as to escape the Divine Vengeance?
A59814That is, Whether they do not equally destroy the Reasonableness of making any Prayers or Petitions to Men, as well as to God?
A59814That is, does it prove any man to be mutable, to change only as a Wise and Immutable Rule requires him to change?
A59814That the Rich and Prosperous shall always be Rich and Prosperous, and the Poor always Poor, and Beggars, and Slaves?
A59814That there should be no distinction between Rich and Poor, High and Low, Princes and Subjects, the Honourable and the Vile?
A59814The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity, but a wounded spirit who can bear?
A59814Then, said I, Lord, how long?
A59814This no man can promise himself, who does not trust in God; for how is Providence concerned for them who expect nothing from it?
A59814Thou knowest my down- sitting, and my uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off?
A59814Thus Abraham reasoned with God, and therein spake the sense of Mankind; Shall not the judge of all the earth do right?
A59814Upon what little unexpected things do the Fortunes of Men, of Families, of whole Kingdoms turn?
A59814Vnderstand ye brutish among the people, and ye fools when will ye be wise?
A59814We can not by searching find out God, we can not find out the Almighty to perfection: it is as high as heaven, what canst thou do?
A59814Well then, who in the first place are these sinners whom they would have punished?
A59814Well then: Would they have this rectified?
A59814What Miseries could disturb Human life, were all men Just, and Honest, and Charitable, did they love one another as themselves?
A59814What can be more accidental than this?
A59814What can put Nature into such an universal disorder, but the same Divine Power which put it into order, and gave Laws to it?
A59814What do all the Promises made to Hope and Trust in God signify, if they give us no security that we shall obtain our Desires of God?
A59814What dreadful Apprehensions would this give Mankind of God, were this World nothing else but a Scene of Trouble and Misery?
A59814What encouragement would this be to Sinners to repent and reform?
A59814What hopes could they reasonably conceive of Pardon and Forgiveness, had they no experience of God''s goodness and patience towards Sinners?
A59814What if God willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endureth with much long- suffering the vessels of wrath fitted for destruction?
A59814What is it then they find fault with in God''s making Angels and Men?
A59814What it is that they would be pleased with?
A59814What man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
A59814What more likely way to gain the Favour of Princes and People, than a dextrous and skilful Application and Address?
A59814What should supply mens wants, and increase Riches, but Wisdom and Understanding in Human affairs?
A59814What this trust in God signifies: since it does not signify an assurance, that God will do what we desire, what is the meaning of it?
A59814Where are they?
A59814Where is the way where light dwelleth?
A59814Whether Preservation be a continued Creation?
A59814Whether there was no other possible way to save sinners; or whether this were absolutely the best?
A59814Which made the Wise man conclude, Mans goings are of the Lord, how then shall a man understand his own ways?
A59814Whither shall I go from thy Spirit, or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
A59814Who hath resisted his will, and prospered?
A59814Who is this that darkneth counsel by words without knowledge?
A59814Why should we revenge our Sufferings on them, when we suffer by the Will of God?
A59814Why so great a part of the world to this day have never heard of Christ?
A59814Will you call Senseless Matter, nay, will you call Beasts happy?
A59814Would not a Thief much rather chuse to find a Treasure, than to take a Purse upon the Road?
A59814Would they have all mens Fortunes equal?
A59814Would they prove, that God did not make the World, because he made Angels and Men, some of whom have made themselves Devils?
A59814Would they think God too kind to bad men, or too hard and severe to the good?
A59814Would we desire any thing else, or can we wish for any thing better than what infinite Wisdom and Goodness can do for us?
A59814and as for darkness, where is the plaee thereof?
A59814and give them all the happiness which belonged to their Natures?
A59814and how then do the Sins of men come to be an Argument against the Holiness of Providence?
A59814and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendred it?
A59814and whether we must submit to the Providence of God in such a Change, by what means soever such a Change is brought about?
A59814and who hath begotten the drops of the dew?
A59814and why then should we desire, why should we fear any longer?
A59814and will not that God, who has given us our Lives, and our Bodies, give us what is absolutely necessary for their support?
A59814are not your ways unequal?
A59814but, How long the sinner deserves to be punished?
A59814canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season, or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
A59814canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?
A59814canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, here we are?
A59814declare if thou hast understanding, who hath laid the measure thereof, if thou knowest?
A59814deeper than hell, what canst thou know?
A59814does Nature teach them, that any thing can be without a Cause adequate to the Effect?
A59814does this become God, to make a free Agent, and to govern him by necessity and force?
A59814hath the rain a father?
A59814have they any natural sensation that answers these words?
A59814how long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily?
A59814how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
A59814how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
A59814how many secret Plots are discovered, when ripe for execution?
A59814how many wicked Designs prove abortive?
A59814itanè verò?
A59814knowest thou the ordinances of heaven, or canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?
A59814more honourable for God, or more secure for our selves?
A59814or because so many men sin, and make themselves miserable, therefore God is not good in creating Man?
A59814or did he intend that no poor men should be wise?
A59814or hast thou known the treasures of the hail?
A59814or whether they be two distinct and different Acts of Power, to Make, and to Preserve?
A59814or who hath laid the corner stone thereof?
A59814or who hath stretched the line upon it?
A59814or would we have any thing which infinite Wisdom and Goodness does not think fit to give us?
A59814out of whose womb came the ice?
A59814quatuor tali jacti casu venereum efficiunt, num etiam centum venereos, si 400 talos ejeceris, casu futuros putas?
A59814quidquam potest casu esse factum, quod omnes in se habeat numeros veritatis?
A59814that any thing can be wisely made without a wise Cause?
A59814that one contrary can produce the other?
A59814that sensless, stupid Matter can produce Life, Sensation and Understanding?
A59814that there should be no poor men as well as rich?
A59814to chuse the quiet and silent Retirements of Woods and Deserts, or of the Grave, to avoid the trouble of serving God, or doing good to Men?
A59814where are thy wise men?
A59814wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously?
A59814whereupon are the foundations thereof fastned?
A59814who knows how much evil bad men would do, had they no restraint?
A59814who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth as if it had issued out of the womb?
A59814who would have been contented to live in such a world, to converse only with the Images of Death, and with noisome Carkasses?
A59814why he had not his Oracles and Prophets in other Nations?
A59814why should we punish them?
A59814why should we revenge our selves of them?
A59814— Therefore take no thought, saying, what shall we eat, or what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we be cloathed?
A396591, 2, 3, 4. Who can but see the singer of God in these things?
A3965910, Hast not Thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side?
A3965911,& c. take no care what becomes of their souls, so they can but provide for their bodies?
A3965919. and David?
A3965923. verified by clear and undeniable experience?
A3965935. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
A396593: Can two walk together except they be agreed?
A396595. but as for man, yea the wisest among men, how little doth his understanding penetrate the works and designs of Providence?
A396596. but that we should not ● ind our paths to sin?
A396597. and doth not Providence confirm it?
A396597. and what is our praising of God else, but our shewing forth that loving- kindness, which he sheweth us in his Providences?
A39659A Question may be moved here, Whether it be the genJus and property of a gracJous spirit, to forbear sin, because of the rod of afflictJon?
A39659After a clear revelation of the mind of God to him in that matter, how many difficult and discouraging Providences be ● ell him in his way?
A39659Among the eminent mercies of thy life, Reader, how many of them have been meer surprizals to thee?
A39659And after all this, how passionately do the Brethren beseech him to decline that journey?
A39659And as notable was the reply of SilentJarJus in a like case, si Deus mei curam non habet, quid vivo?
A39659And have you not also seen the constant performance of it?
A39659And how doth this mercy humble and melt him?
A39659And how great a Mercy was it, that we had Parents, who carefully instilled the good knowledge of God into our souls in our tender years?
A39659And how great a wonder is it, that our life hath not been extinguished in some of those dangers we have been in?
A39659And how many be there, who are more sober, and yet hate the least appearances of Godliness in their Children?
A39659And how many blessed lines in the Bible may we mark, that respect even our outward concerns, and the happy issue of them all?
A39659And how oft are we forced to retract our rash opinions, and confess our mistakes?
A39659And how strange was that Change( how far soever it went) upon Naaman the SyrJan?
A39659And if so, how chearing, supporting, and encouraging must the consideration of these things be in a day of distress and trouble?
A39659And is not such a discovery matter of deep humiliation?
A39659And is not this a sealed Truth, attested by a thousand of undenyable experiences?
A39659And is this nothing?
A39659And now who can be dissatisfied in this point, that wisely considers these things?
A39659And shall not this quiet us under the common afflictions of this life?
A39659And shall they not then be employed, yea, cheerfully worn out in his service?
A39659And what can promote peace under doubtful Providences more effectually than this?
A39659And what did this wonderful work of Providence think you, yield the Relator?
A39659And what shall the effects of such Providences be to the Righteous?
A39659And who can but see by these things, that verily there is a God that judgeth in the Earth?
A39659And who can see it, and not be filled with thankfulness?
A39659And who is there of any standing or Experience in Religion that hath not found it so?
A39659And why might not your lot have fallen there as well as where it is?
A39659And wilt thou not from henceforth say, My Father, my Father, thou art the guide of my youth?
A39659Are not they made of the same clay, and endowed with as good a nature as your selves?
A39659Are not those mercies you expect from God worth the waiting for?
A39659Are the most apt and powerful means employed for their ruine frustrated?
A39659Are the necessary supports of life nothing?
A39659Are there not at this day to be found many so provided for, even to the envy of their Enemies, and their own admiration?
A39659Are these things according to the course and Law of Nature?
A39659Are we afflicted?
A39659Are you better than all the Saints that are gone before you?
A39659Are your names sweet, and your Consciences peaceful, two mercies as dear to you as your two eyes?
A39659Ask your own hearts, where, or when was it that your God forsook you, and left you to sink and perish under your burdens?
A39659B ● hold, these are the ungodly that prosper in the world, they increase in riches: and what doth the flesh in ● er from thence?
A39659Be your condition as afflictive as it will, is life nothing?
A39659Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed: can he give bread also?
A39659But after so many experiences of his readiness to help, what room for doubting remains?
A39659But thou O Lord, how long?
A39659But will God suffer things to lye thus?
A39659But, above all, is the Gospel and precious means of salvation nothing, by which you yet are in a capacity of escaping the damnation of Hell?
A39659But, tell me Saints, have you not enough at hand to stop the mouths of all such temptations?
A39659By what secret cause in nature, was Jeroboam''s hand dried up, and made inflexible at the same instant it was stretched out against the Man of God?
A39659Ca n''t you see more in God, than in any or all the Creature comforts you have lost?
A39659Can God furnish a Table in the Wilderness?
A39659Can a man be profitable God?
A39659Can the Children of the Bridegroom be sad, whilest the Bridegroom is with them?
A39659Can ye not with Jacob, call him, the God that fed you all your life long?
A39659Canst thou by searching, find out God?
A39659Carnal reason seems to it self a wise disputant about the concerns of the flesh, but how often hath Providence baffled it?
A39659Consult the Events of Providence in this case, and see, whether the Word be not verified therein?
A39659DOth God perform all things for his people?
A39659DOth God perform all things for you?
A39659David used a great deal of sinful policy to cover his wicked fact; but did it prosper?
A39659Did God abandon and cast you off in the day of your straits?
A39659Did he love me in my youth, and will he cast me off in my decrepit age?
A39659Did he not then look after us, when we knew him not?
A39659Did he pay his invaluable blood to purchase these comforts, that I possess?
A39659Did he then cast thee into such families, or among such company and acquaintance, as moulded and formed thy spirit to a better temper?
A39659Did he then direct thee into that way of employment, wherein thou hast seen so large a train of happy consequents ever since following thee?
A39659Did it cast thee into the way of Conversion, and order the means and occasions of it for thee, when thou little thoughtest of any such thing?
A39659Did the Lord guide thee by his Providence, when but a Child?
A39659Did you ever lean upon an EgyptJan reed, and it did not break under you, and pierce as well as deceive you?
A39659Did you ever leave the way of simplicity and integrity, and use sinful shifts, to bring about your own designs, and prosper in that way?
A39659Do n''t you find, after all the rods that have been upon you, a proud heart still, a vain and earthly heart still?
A39659Do natural Causes unite and associate themselves for the good of Gods people?
A39659Do not multitudes that enjoy these priviledges, eternally perish notwithstanding them?
A39659Do you see adequate retributions made to those that injure or befriend the people of God?
A39659Doth Communion with God in Ordinances, melt the heart into love to God?
A39659Doth Communion with God set the keenest edge upon the soul against sin?
A39659Doth Communion with the Lord enlarge the heart for obedience and service?
A39659Doth God condescend to hear you in the day of trouble?
A39659Doth God lift them up by prosperity?
A39659Doth God miraculously suspend the power of natural Causes, as in the first Demand was opened?
A39659Doth HezekJah glory in his Treasures?
A39659Doth he convince you by your own experience, that your prayers have power with God, and do prevail?
A39659Doth he so clothe the very Grass of the field?
A39659Doth he take care for the very Fowls of the air, for whom no man provides, as well as those at the door which we daily feed?
A39659Doth not Providence minister to you these things, though you daily disoblige it, and provoke God to send you to your own place?
A39659Doth not the Providence of God verifie upon them those threatnings that are written, in the experience of all ages?
A39659Doth not the assiduity of his Providential care for us, speak his esteem of us?
A39659Doth not the gift of his only Son out of his bosome speak this truth, That God makes great account of this vile thing Man?
A39659Doth not the ministration of Angels in the Providential Kingdom speak it?
A39659Doth not the tenderness of his Providenc ● speak his esteem of us?
A39659Doth not the variety of the fruits of his Providence speak it?
A39659Doubtless, this is the end and level of these mercies; for else to what purpose are they afforded you?
A39659For if we, and all we have, proceeded from his Will, how equal is it, that we be resigned up to it?
A39659For let a Christian be but a few years or months without a rod, and how formal, earthly, dead and vain, will his heart grow?
A39659For what are the works of Providence, but the execution of God''s Decree, and the fulfilling of his Word?
A39659HOw may a Christian discern when a Providence is sanctified, and comes from the love of God to him?
A39659HOw may a Christian discover the will of God and his own duty under dark and doubtful Providences?
A39659HOw may we attain to an Evenness and Steddiness of heart under the comfortable Aspects of Providence upon us?
A39659HOw may we attain unto an evenness and steddiness of spirit under the Changes, and contrary Aspects of Providence upon us?
A39659Had your Lot fallen here, O what unhappy men and women had you been, notwithstanding the natural amenity and pleasantness of your native soil?
A39659Hast thou an integral perfection and sulness of members?
A39659Hast thou not made an hedge about him, and all that he hath?
A39659Hath he taken some?
A39659Have I not smarted enough already?
A39659Have not all these cautions, and threatnings of the Word been exactly fulfilled by Providence in your own experience?
A39659Have not some of us fallen, and that often into very dangerous sicknesses and diseases, in which we have approached to the very brink of the grave?
A39659Have not these been as clearly made out by Providence before your eyes, as the Sun at Noon day?
A39659Have we not often had the sentence of death in our selves?
A39659Have you not evidently discerned the Lords hand, in the guiding and directing of your paths, to your unforeseen advantage?
A39659Have you not found some rod or other prepared by Providence, to rouze you out of your security?
A39659Have you not more spare hours, than you imploy to that end?
A39659Have you not plainly discerned the hand of God, in the returns and accomplishments of your prayers?
A39659Here the Question will be how the sanctification o ● these Providences may be discovered to us?
A39659How careful was Abraham of this duty?
A39659How comprehensive is its Capacity?

A39659How much more may we say?
A39659How much of Providence is seen in Children the fruit of MarrJage?
A39659How nimble, various and indesatigable are its Motions?
A39659How noble are its Faculties and Affections?
A39659How often do we afflict and torment our selves by our own unquiet thoughts, when there is no real cause or ground for so doing?

A39659If God take no care of me, how do I live, how have I subsisted hitherto?
A39659If a single act of Providence be so ravishing and transporting, what would many such be, if they were presented together to the view of the soul?
A39659If not, it is your folly to be troubled for the want of them: If they be, why do n''t you continue waiting?
A39659If one Star be so beautiful to behold, what is a ConstellatJon?
A39659If the season of their youth be neglected, how little probability is there of any good fruit afterwards?
A39659If these things be meerly casual, How is it that they square and agree so exactly with the Scriptures in all particulars?
A39659If these things fall out casually, how is it, they observe the very nick of time so exactly?
A39659If when we were EnemJes we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, how much more being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life?
A39659If you neglect to instruct them in the way of Holiness, will the Devil neglect to instruct them in the way of Wickedness?

A39659Is Absalom doted on, and crept too far into his good Fathers heart?

A39659Is God more obliged to you than to all his people?
A39659Is Jonah so transported with his Gourd?
A39659Is Providence every moment at work for you, and will you be idle?
A39659Is it not all that God expects from you for the mercies he bestows upon you, that you wait upon him for them?
A39659Is it not that you should imploy your bodies for God, and cheerfully apply your selves to that service he hath called you to?
A39659Is it not the aim and design of all, to make you a fruitful people?
A39659Is it not unwarrantable, and very dishonourable to Christ, to attribute that to affliction, which is the peculiar honour of his blood?
A39659Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by?
A39659Is there evil in the City, and the Lord hath not done it?
A39659Is there no odds, upon what Spot of the Creation, or in what Age of the World your lot had fallen?
A39659Is this the first difficulty that ever your faith combated with?
A39659Is this the first plunge that ever befell me?
A39659Israel would not rely upon the Lord, but trust in the shadow of Egypt; and what advantage had they by this sinful policy?
A39659It is as high as Heaven; what canst thou do?
A39659It pleases the Lord oftentimes to try, and exercise his people thi ● way, and make them cry, How long Lord, ho ● long?
A39659It was said of ClaudJan that he wanted matter suitable to the excellency of his parts; but where is the head or heart that is suitable to this matter?
A39659Know you not, that you are men and women condemned to wrath by the plain sentence of the Law?
A39659Lo, these are part of his wayes; but how small a portion do we know of him?
A39659Lo, these are parts of his wayes, but how small a portJon is known of him?
A39659Look upon all these, and then ask thy heart that question God askt Jonah, Dost thou well to be angry?
A39659Lord what is man, that thou shouldst visit him every morning, and try him every moment?
A39659Lord what is man, that thou t ● kest knowledge of him?
A39659Lord, what am I, that mercy should thus pursue me, when vengeance and wrath pursue others as good by nature as I am?
A39659Nor do I say, that God follows every sin with a rod; for who then should stand before him?
A39659Now shall all this be to no purpose?
A39659Now this is a most endearing consideration: did Christ dye, that these mercies might live?
A39659Now, it''s seasonable to consider and re ● lect, Was I never so distress ● ● before?
A39659O Christians, ca n''t you make up any loss this way?
A39659O Lord God: and what is my Fathers house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
A39659O generatJon, see the Word of the Lord; have I been a Wilderness unto Israel?
A39659O how unsearchable are the Methods of Providence in this matter?
A39659O what hath Providence done for you?
A39659O what will the language be, wherewith such Parents and Children shall great each other at the Judgement Seat, and in Hell for ever?
A39659O what would the damned say, if they were but put into your condition once more?
A39659O when a soul considers what God hath done for him, he can not chuse but say, what shall I return?
A39659O who of all the Children of God hath not often found this in his Providences?

A39659Oh how quietly will you then behave your selves under the changes of Providence?
A39659Oh if men would but note the designs of God in his preventive Providences, how useful would it be to keep them upright and holy in their wayes?
A39659Oh what an Obligation hath Providence laid you under, by such a merciful performance as this for you?
A39659On the contrary, how successful have weak and contemptible means been made for the good of the Church?
A39659Or if both be gracious, then what singular assistance and mutual help is hereby gained to the furtherance of their Eternal good?
A39659Others have attained it, and why not we?
A39659Our corrupt hearts have made him cry, How long shall vain thoughts lodge within thee?
A39659Our impure natures and wayes have made him cry, How long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
A39659Our unbelJef hath made him cry, How long will it be ere they belJeve me?
A39659Quis enim non timeat omnJa providentem,& cogitantem,& animadvertentem,& omnJa ad se pertinere putantem, curJosum& plenum negotii Deum?
A39659Shall God do all things for you, and will you do nothing for God?
A39659Shall TribulatJon?
A39659Shall the Creature pu ● ● oin, and draw away our affections from him?
A39659Should we then make mirth?
A39659Since I sent you forth, lacked ye any thing?
A39659So Jonah, when God raised up a Gourd for him to shelter him from the Sun, how excessively was he taken with it, and was exceedingly glad of it?
A39659So for single persons, how apt are they to depend upon their sensible supports?
A39659So say I, Can the soul be sad, whilest God is with it?
A39659Sometimes Providence crosseth a hopeful thriving project to advance our estate, and frustrates all our labours and cares; Why is this?
A39659Suppose now( and why should you not suppose, what you so frequently b ● hold in the world?)
A39659Tarry, and not tarry, how shall this be reconciled?
A39659The Rod hath a voice; and what doth it speak?
A39659The same good man, how did he let out his heart and affections upon his beautiful Son Absalom?
A39659They have quietly waited, and why should not you?
A39659Thus in the first planting of Christianity in the world, by what weak and improbable instruments was it done?
A39659Thus when IsaJah had obtained a special manifestation of God, and the Lord askt, whom shall I send?
A39659To what purpose then is all that God hath done for you?
A39659To what secret natural cause, can they be ascribed?
A39659Was it not better with you in a low condition, than it is now?
A39659Was it not the Lord?
A39659We have made him say, How long, how long?
A39659We have our How longs, and hath not God his?
A39659Well, but what signifies all this to a soul, that under all its sensible vileness and unworthiness hath tasted the goodness of God as well as they?
A39659What Relation hath not been abused by sin; and yet both raised up and continued by Providence for your comfort?

A39659What a scourge were Absalom and Amnon to David?
A39659What a special Mercy was it to us, to have the excrescencies of corruption nipt in the bud by their pious and careful discipline?
A39659What a temptation to the neglect of a known duty, prevail''d upon the renowned Moses, by the means of Zipporah his Wife?
A39659What a vast tract of the world lies as a waste Wilderness?
A39659What am I?
A39659What but immediate destruction could be expected?
A39659What fruit( saith the Apostle) had ye in those things, whereof you are now ashamed?
A39659What hope now remained?
A39659What is Experience?
A39659What is it but a Garden inclosed out of a Wilderness?
A39659What is it to have the flesh indulged, sense gratified, fancy tickled?
A39659What is that?
A39659What is your case to this?
A39659What levity, rashness, ignorance and strong propensions to sin and ruine accompanied that age?
A39659What life and hope will it inspire our Hearts and Prayers withal, when great pressures lie upon us?
A39659What mercies do you enjoy in respect of the amaenity, fertility, temperature and civility of the place of your habitation?
A39659What place did you ever live in, where you can not remember great provocations committed, and manifold mercies notwithstanding that, received?
A39659What room then is left for Atheistical suggestions in your breasts?
A39659What shall comfort you at the parting time, if they dye through your neglect in a Christless condition?
A39659What, and yet fret against God, because every thing else suits not your desires?
A39659What, is God in the World for nothing?
A39659When David asketh, Wherewith shall a young man cleanse his way?
A39659When I consider the Heavens the work of thy hands, the Moon and Stars which thou hast ordained, Lord, what is man?
A39659When did you grow into a secure, vain, carnal frame, but you found some rouzing, startling Providence sent to awaken you?
A39659When did you wound your Consciences with guilt, and God did not wound you for it, in some or other of your beloved enjoyments?
A39659When one told Bouromeus that there were some that laid wait for his life, his answer was, An Deus est in mundo pro nihilo?
A39659When sickness and pains summoned him to the grave, what bitter complaints and despondencies are recorded?
A39659Wherefore say my people, We are Lords, we will come no more unto thee?
A39659Whether they had not better consulted their own interest and comfort, in keeping within the bounds and limits of Gods commands?
A39659Which can you call objectum par amori?
A39659Which of all the people of God have not felt this truth?
A39659Which of them all can you pronounce self- desirable?
A39659Which of you( saith our Lord) by taking thought can add one Cubit?
A39659Who bid us expect rest, ease, delight, and things of this kind in this world?
A39659Who can but see the Scriptures fulfilled in, and expounded by such Providences?
A39659Who can not put to his seal, and say, Thy words are truth?
A39659Who had rather accompany them to their graves, than to Christ, doing all that in them lyes, Herod like, to kill Christ in the Cradle?
A39659Who was it that supplyed to you whatever was needful in all your straits?
A39659Why are they so tenderly preserved by God, if they must not be used for God?
A39659Why doth he clogg us, but to prevent our straying from him?
A39659Why else are they called Youthful lusts?
A39659Why should sad Providences make him lay by his comforts in God?
A39659Why should they be sad, as long as their God is with them in all their troubles?
A39659Why should we lay by our joy in God, when as the change of our condition is so nigh?
A39659Why should you think he that hath done so many things for you, will now do no more?
A39659Will Jesus Christ( said he) apply his blood to me, that have shed my own blood?
A39659Will you lose any thing by patient waiting upon God for mercies?
A39659Will you not henceforth call him, My Father, the Guide of my youth?
A39659With what eyes then do you look upon God?
A39659You may as well ask me, whether I will run again into the ● ire, after I have been already scorcht in it?
A39659You wait for good, and it comes not; but is your will brought to a due submission to the Will of God about it?
A39659Your betters have waited long upon God for mercy, and why should not you?
A39659Your knowledge of their tempers: if therefore you neglect, who shall help them?
A39659a land of darkness?
A39659and 30. compared?
A39659and can it be supposed, he should forget his own people, that are of much more value than these?
A39659and that thou shouldst visit him every morning, and try him every moment?
A39659and when Providence lifted him up again into a prosperous condition, what ostentation and vain glory did he discover?
A39659and will he now do less for us, since we are reconciled and become his Children?
A39659and will not the goodness of God be discouraged from following me, notwithstanding all my vile a ● ● ronts and abuses of it in former mercJes?
A39659bestowed thousands of mercies upon us, when we had no title to Christ or any one promise?
A39659but the bringing down of the objects of faith to the dijudication and test of spiritual sense?
A39659can be give bread also?
A39659can be provide flesh for his people?
A39659can he provide flesh for his people?
A39659can you think it an indifferent thing, into what part of the World the womb of Nature had cast you out?
A39659canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
A39659deeper than Hell; what canst thou know?
A39659do ye not yet understand, neither remember?
A39659hear the young Ravens, when they cry for meat?
A39659how shall I answer these engagements?
A39659or how knowest thou, O Man, whether thou shalt save thy Wife?
A39659or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?
A39659provided for us, when we owned him not in any of his mercies?
A39659q. d. Were yo never under any strait for bread before now?
A39659that thou shouldst magnifJe him, and set thine heart upon him?
A39659these thing you promised yourselves: but where did God promise you prosperity, and the continuance of those com ● ortable things to you?
A39659who can shew forth all his praise?
A39659who can utter the mighty works of the Lord?
A39659yea, and perish with an aggravation of sin and misery beyond other sinners?
A39659● Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
A39659● s HezekJah too much pu ● ● ed up with his full Exchequer?
A30249( How doth this agree with his former reason, if he mean it universaly?)
A3024911. speaking of those under the New Testament, that some were siok, and some did sleep, and that they were judged of the Lord?
A3024913, 14. Who would not think that the author were some Papist, or Socinians?
A3024917. how grosly is it applyed unto the beleevers of the Gospel only?
A3024918. that which is highly esteemed before men, is abomination before God?
A3024919. Who can understand his errours?
A3024919. and 119. who can deny, that they belong to the godly now, as well as heretofore?
A3024920. where he was preaching night and day with great affections, and desired no mans gold or silver?
A3024920?
A302496. he calleth Faith a work, because the Jewes asked, What should they do?
A302497. per totum: for, how should a man come to know the depth of originall sinne, all the sinfull motions flowing from it, but by the Law?
A302499. and in other places, how often doth God press them with this love of his, in giving them those commandments?
A30249Again under the New Testament, is there not the sin against the holy Ghost for which no pardon is promised?
A30249Again, a Beleever may look to the reward, and yet have a spirit of love; how much rather look to the command of God?
A30249Alas, what patience, what repentance, what pains and religious duties can procure thee peace with God?
A30249All those arguments will hold as strongly against faith; for, Are there not many beleevers for a season?
A30249And are there not many such Popish spirits, that know their superstitions and falshoods, yet, because of long custome, will not leave them?
A30249And besides, if the godly were then in Christ, doth it not necessarily follow by his principles, that God must see no sinne in them?
A30249And here it''s disputed, Whether a meere Heathen can doe any work morally good?
A30249And here you may see, that to do a duty, because of a reward promised, is not a slavish and unlawfull thing; for did not God deale thus with Adam?
A30249And herein we may demand of the Antinomian, Whether the law of Nature doe bind a beleever, or no?
A30249And how absurd is that doctrine, Si bona opera sunt magis bona, quàm mala opera mala, fortiùs merentur vitam aeternam?
A30249And if you say, Why should these Commandments reach to them?
A30249And is not all this with Popery?
A30249And may not this be affirmed of the Law, as well as the Gospel?
A30249And shall no mercy be esteemed, but what is the Gospel?
A30249And so we may answer that demand, Whether there was any revelation unto Adam of a Christ?
A30249And the Apostle maketh the objection following[ What then, shall we sin, because we are not under the Law?]
A30249And this is to be observed against the Antinomians, who to disparage the Law, may say, that was written in stones, what good can that do?
A30249And this is to be taken notice of, lest any should think, what will this discourse make for the honour of the Morall Law, more then the other lawes?
A30249And what a contradiction also to call it hell- hatched, when yet he holdeth there is no hell?
A30249And what thou dost, being enabled by grace, is that perfect?
A30249And, certainly, if the Apostle argued that Christ died in vain, if workes were joyned to him; how much more if he be totally excluded?
A30249And, first of all, it may be demanded, To what purpose is this discourse about the Law given by Moses?
A30249And, if Christ and the Law could be under the Old Testament, why not under the New?
A30249And, making this doubt to himself, How shall they doe for a Priest?
A30249Are riches, subsistence, equall to Christ?
A30249Are there not famines, pestilence, and the bloudy warre upon men under the Gospel?
A30249Are there not many Polititians have too much of this poison in their hearts?
A30249Are there not many, not only unchristian, but also unnaturall actions?
A30249Are we Jews?
A30249As for that other Question, Whether repentance be part of the image of God?
A30249Because the Jews and Papists do abuse the Law, and the works of it to justification, shall it not therefore have its proper place and dignity?
A30249But Seneca, when he had spoken thus, and much more, in the scorn of those gods, what doth he resolve upon that his wise man shall doe in those times?
A30249But how absurd and contradictory to the Author himself is this assertion?
A30249But how are they inexcusable, if they could not glorifie God by nature, as they ought?
A30249But how can this be proved, that their confirmation came from Christ, and not from God, as a plentifull rewarder of their continued obedience?
A30249But how can this be without faith through Christ?
A30249But how well doth Austin in the same place stigmatize him?
A30249But in the next place, grant that interpretation, of sanctification for renovation, how doth this prove that the Law is not used instrumentally?
A30249But is not this to forget Christ our head, who is made neerer to us then Angels are?
A30249But still here is the Question, Why did Peter set himself to repent and not Judas?
A30249But that is a meere evasion; for why should God fore- tell this, but because it was a duty to be done?
A30249But the Question is, Whether we can doe this of our selves, with grace?
A30249But then it may be demanded, To which is repentance reduced?
A30249But what Logician doth not see a great deale more foisted into the Conclusion, then was in the Premises?
A30249But what godly man is there, whose spirit is so willing alwayes, that he doth not finde his flesh untoward and backward unto any holy duty?
A30249But what man of reason doth not see that God speaks there of the Church of the Iews, as appeareth through the whole Chapter?
A30249But what need I runne further in perfection, seeing it comanded all perfection?
A30249But who doth not see how uncertaine Reason is in comparison of Faith?
A30249But, doe not the Papists the same thing?
A30249By our own reason and will?
A30249By what law?
A30249By what law?
A30249By what law?
A30249Can a man dispose himself to have life?
A30249Can that which would damne, save?
A30249Can that which would work woe in thee, comfort thee?
A30249Can the boy ever learn to write well, unlesse an exact Copy be laid before him?
A30249Can thy graces be a Christ?
A30249Christs blood) as well as we under the Gospel?
A30249Compare this of Adams with that of Abraham, what a vast difference?
A30249Consider what we were, and what we are, how holy once, how unholy now: and here who can but take up bitter mourning?
A30249Cui bono?
A30249Did not David preferre the Word of God above gold and honey?
A30249Did not his heart faint, and yern within him?
A30249Did the Iews first seek God, or God them?
A30249Did the lesse, or more revelation of free Justification make God justifie the lesse freely?
A30249Did they first make themselves friends with God?
A30249Do not all our Protestant authours maintain this truth, as that which discerneth us from Heathens, Jewes, Papists, and others in the world?
A30249Do not godly Ministers, to work people into an hatred of sin, tell them the price of blood is in every sin committed?
A30249Do we not in that place finde a plain contradiction of this doctrine?
A30249Do we then make void the Law through faith?
A30249Do we then make void the Law?
A30249Do we then make void the Law?
A30249Doe they not make all penall things compensative?
A30249Dost not thou the like, when thou joynest thy love and grace with Christs obedience?
A30249Dost thou thank God for providing clothes for thy body, food for thy belly, an house for habitation?
A30249Doth Paul pervert the scope of Moses?
A30249Doth not David, speaking of the Law, call it pure, and cleane, that is true, having no falshood in it?
A30249Doth not Nature condemne lying, couzening in your trades, lusts, and uncleannesse?
A30249Doth not the Apostle reprove the Corinthians for desiring gifts, rather then graces; and abilities of parts, rather then holinesse?
A30249Doth that belong to us?
A30249For was not that place which they so much urge[ God seeth not iniquity in Jacob] spoken of the Church in the Old Testament?
A30249For, If I should aske, Who is the father of such a man?
A30249For, do not all sound and godly Ministers hold forth this Christ, this righteousnesse, this way of justification?
A30249For, how can an enemy to Christ, close with Christ?
A30249For, how necessary is it to have this Law promulged, if it were possible, as terribly in our congregations, as it was on Mount Sinai?
A30249Hast thou any strength to doe it?
A30249Hast thou faith?
A30249Hast thou not much of an Heathen in thee?
A30249Hath not Christ abolished the Law?
A30249Have not beleevers now, crookednesse, hypocrisie, luke- warmnesse?
A30249Have not many Heathens been faithfull and just in their dealings?
A30249Here may be one Question made upon these things, and that is, Why God appointed such various and different administrations?
A30249How absurd then are they, that say, The preaching of the Law is to make men trust in themselves, and to adhere to their own righteousnesse?
A30249How apt are the holiest to be proud and secure, as David, and Peter?
A30249How can God upbraid or reprove men for their transgressions, if they could doe no other wayes?

A30249How do the orthodox Writers prove Images unlawfull?
A30249How doth he witnesse this by crying out, With desire I have desired to drink of this cup?
A30249How foolish then were David and Manasses, in suing out pardon for their blood- guiltiness, if there were no such thing allowed by God?
A30249How glorious must Adams estate be, when his Understanding was made thus perfect?
A30249How gross is this errour?
A30249How happy are all the irrationall creatures in their estate above us, if not repaired by Christ?
A30249How is every bird in the aire, and beast in the field in a better naturall condition then they are?
A30249How is the humble heart soon made proud?
A30249How many Trades- men are there that need not a Paul?
A30249How many late books and practises have been for that opinion?
A30249How many live in such sins that the law of Nature condemneth?
A30249How many times do they need that Christ should draw them, and also that the Law should draw them?
A30249How may the sick say, There I finde health?
A30249How often doth God tell them, that the good he did to them, was for his own names sake, and not any thing in them?
A30249How proud will be my best humility?
A30249How sacred are the laws of a Common- wealth, which yet are made by men?
A30249How short is this of that which God commands?
A30249How uncharitably and falsly many men charge it generally upon our godly Ministers, that they are nothing but Justitiaries, and Legall Preachers?
A30249How uncomfortable will it be when thou dyest, to commit thy soule to that grace, which thou hast disputed against?
A30249How would this subdue all those proud, envious, censorious, and inimicitious carriages to one another?
A30249I am found of them that sought not for me; grant that it be a prophesie of the Gentiles, yet was it not also true of the Iews, before God called them?
A30249I find this Question a very troublesome one, Whether the Gospel be absolute or no?
A30249I reply what and if they could bring no sacrifice, could they not therefore have pardon?
A30249If Christ be the end of the Law, how is he contrary to it?
A30249If God be so angry with those that abuse naturall light, how much rather then with such, who also abuse Gospel light?
A30249If God come to reckon with beleevers for sinne, either he must aske something of them, or not; If not, why are they troubled?
A30249If a creditor require his debt of a bankrupt, who hath prodigally spent all, and made himself unable to pay, what unrighteousnesse is this?
A30249If all a mans glory were for himselfe, would not every affliction rather break him, saying, This is the fruit of my sinne?
A30249If so, is not Davids sin a sin, because it is against such and such a Commandement?
A30249If the Law, and the commands thereof be impossible, to what purpose then doth he command them?
A30249If therefore the Law had been a Covenant of works, how could such an agreement come betweene them?
A30249If they were, how came they by it?
A30249If you ask why works do imply boasting, though we be enabled thereunto by the grace of God?
A30249If you aske, How then is not the Gospel a Covenant of workes?
A30249If you have not meat or drink but by God, shall you have pardon of sin without him?
A30249If you say, May not the sufferings of Christ make us to repent of sin, and all the love he shewed therein?
A30249If you say, Why then doth the Apostle argue against the works of the Morall Law?
A30249Ignorant people: how few have any knowledge of God?
A30249In State and Civil matters, in Church matters, what a revengefull spirit breatheth in men?
A30249Indeed, it''s made a question, Whether, if Adam had continued, be should have been translated into heaven, or confirmed onely in Paradise?
A30249Is Christ the end of the Law for righteousness?
A30249Is it a duty of the Law, or a duty of the Gospel?
A30249Is it any more then if the Sun should shine, or a candle be held out to a blind man?
A30249Is it not said, that they shall look upon him whom they have pierced, and mourn for their sins?
A30249Is not Moses, with his Ministery, now at an end?
A30249Is not all this strange?
A30249Is not gold good, because you can not eat it, and feed on it, as you do on meat?
A30249Is not this as ridiculous to threaten them, as that of Xerxes, who menaced the sea?
A30249Is not this( as I told you) with Chrysostome, to stand upon a spring rising higher and higher?
A30249Is not this, with the Papists, to make the Gospel a new Law?
A30249Is that Law against the promises?
A30249Is there not a faith that indureth but for a while?
A30249Is there not also a generation of men, who do by doctrine deny the fourth Commandement?
A30249It is also demanded, who are meant b by those of old, to what age that doth extend?
A30249It is therefore worth the inquiry, Whether the ten Commandments, as given by Moses, do belong to us Christians, or no?
A30249It makes not ashamed: but, if it were an hope in our selves, how often should we be confounded?
A30249May not then a man as soon know the sincerity of his heart, as the truth of his faith?
A30249May not these things be heard in our Sermons daily?
A30249May we not also say, she doctrine of the Gospel that is written in paper, and what can that do?
A30249Might not the Arminian say, How can these two things stand together?
A30249Must it not therefore be of the Gospel?
A30249Must not the meaning then be, to love, and delight in God, and to trust in him?
A30249Neither do thou please thy self in that question, What is heresie?
A30249Not indeed but that Christs bloud is sufficient to take away the guilt of it?
A30249Now doth the Law, strictly taken, receive any humbling& debasing of themselves?
A30249Now herein was the great mistake of the Jews, they gloried and boasted of the Law, but how?
A30249Now how are these Questions decided, but thus?
A30249Now how can this ever be made good?
A30249Now how great is this perfection?
A30249Now if a man may not care for Moses teaching, need he care for Nature teaching?
A30249Now if it be thus of an habit, how much more of originall sin, which is the depravation of the nature?
A30249Now if this be so, then how shall that be true, that the heaven must contain Christ till he come?
A30249Now it''s a great dispute, Whether the command of repentance belong unto the Gospel, or no?
A30249Now the Question is, Whether this obligation was temporary or perpetuall?
A30249Now the Scripture, how full is it to the contrary?
A30249Now then, when David commits adultery, when Peter denyeth Christ, are not these sins in them?
A30249Now these are but hyperbole''s; for what godly man is there, that needs not the Word as a light, that needs it not as a goad?
A30249Now what a cordiall may this be to the broken heart, exercised with its sinnes?
A30249Now what a wide doore will here be open to overthrow the Old- Testament?
A30249Now who doth not see what a damnable and dangerous position this would be?
A30249Now who seeth not how weak and absurd these arguments are?
A30249Now, Doe men gather grapes of thornes, or figs of thistles?
A30249Now, doth not the Gospel, when it bids a man beleeve, speak as impossible a thing to a mans power?
A30249Now, how can a man be bold by any thing that is his?
A30249Now, if our parents and ancestors were as full a cause as Adam was, why should the accusation be still laid upon him?
A30249Now, unlesse this were a covenant of grace, how could God be their God, who were sinners?
A30249Now, who can reconcile these contradictions?
A30249Oh, what an hell may thy heart be, when thy outward man is not defiled?
A30249Or, Whether faith and repentance are now parts of that image?
A30249Or, Whether grace onely enable us to doe it?
A30249Or, Whether it is onely a meere matter of faith that we are thus polluted?
A30249Presse them to obey the Law, and yet reprove them for desiring to be under it?
A30249Quid obest clavis lignea, quando nihil aliud quaerimus, nisi patere clausum?
A30249Received ye the Spirit by the works of the Law; or by the hearing of faith?
A30249Rulers are not a terrour to good works, but to evil: Wouldst thou not be afraid of them?
A30249Shall not uncircumcision, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 if it fullfill the Law?
A30249Shall we lament, because we are banished from houses and habitations, because we have lost our estates, and comforts?
A30249Sinnes against naturall conscience are called Crying sinnes; and, though men have repented of them, yet how long is it ere faith can still their cry?
A30249Strait is the way that leadeth to life: What is this, but the work of grace and godlinesse?
A30249That is so divided and distracted, that if after any duty we should put that question to it, as God did to Satan, From whence commest thou?
A30249The Author urgeth also that place, While we were enemies, we were reconciled to God: but doth not this hold true of the Iews?
A30249The damnatory power of the Law is inseparable from it: Can you put your conscience under the mandatory power, and yet keep it from the damnatory?
A30249The fifth Question is, Whether originall sin can be found out by the meere light of Nature?
A30249The first Question, Whether a man can by the light of Nature, and by the consideration of the creatures, come to know there is a God?
A30249The last Question is, How they declare this Law written in their hearts?
A30249The law bids thee love God with all thine heart and soul; doth not this bid thee goe to Christ?
A30249The next Question is, How this Law is said to be written in their hearts?
A30249The next Question is, Whether we may be now by Christ said to be more righteous then Adam?
A30249The objection then is this,( propounded by way of interrogation, to affect the more,) Do we make voyd the Law?
A30249The second Question is, Whether the mystery of the Trinity, and of the Incarnation of Christ, can be found out as a truth by the light of Nature?
A30249The second question is, Whether Christ did intervene in his help to Adam, so that he needed Christ in that state?
A30249The third Question concerning this naturall light is, Whether it be sufficient for salvation?
A30249Therefore consider, thou prophane man, are not thy oaths, are not thy lusts against Gods Law?
A30249Think with thy self, If Christ had been as unwilling to die for me, as I to pray to him, to be patient, to be holy, what had become of my soule?
A30249This later I only presse: Therefore, What is it to be justified?
A30249This should be a caution against multitude of Church precepts: how did Austin complain of it, and Gerson in his time?
A30249Those in the Acts that were pricked in heart, were yet bid to repent; and so they cried out, What shall we doe to be saved?
A30249Thou didst drink iniquity like water; doest thou now, as the Hart, pant after the water- brooks?
A30249Thus grace and free- will produce a good action; grace as the generall cause, and free- will as the particular: but how derogatory is this to grace?
A30249To what purpose are exhortations and admonitions?
A30249Was then eternall life and happinesse a meere gift of God to Adam for his obedience and love?
A30249We are not said to be blind, or lame, but dead in sin: now did Lazarus prepare himself to rise?
A30249We must therefore say to these places, as Moses did to the two Israelites fighting, Why fall you out, seeing you are brethren?
A30249What a non sequitur is here?
A30249What a sad thing is it, to be all the day and yeare long damning our soules?
A30249What a strange reason is this?
A30249What a sweet strain is that of him, when banished, he doth not wish for his kingdome, nor outward estate, but to see God in the beauties of holinesse?
A30249What a weak reason is this?
A30249What ado is here for the troubled soul to have any good thoughts of God, to have any faith in him as reconciled?
A30249What advantage then hast thou, if thou cryest down Saints, and then makest thy self one in a Popish way?
A30249What an horrid falshood is it to call the doctrine of the immortall soul an hell- hatched doctrine?
A30249What can be more spirituall?
A30249What can satisfie thy soul, if this will not do?
A30249What comfort were this?
A30249What doth the Apostle use contradictions in the same Chapter?
A30249What else was the meaning of Domitianus Calderinus, when, speaking of going to Masse, he said, Eamus ad communem errorem?
A30249What had it been for a Jew to pray to God, if Christ had not been in that prayer?
A30249What hast thou thou hast not received?
A30249What hath made the idolatry of the Church of Rome so like Paganish and Ethnicall idolatry?
A30249What is Regeneration, but the writing of the Morall Law in thy heart?
A30249What is meant by the tree of knowledge of good and evill?
A30249What is this but to hold the doctrine of free- will and works in the time of the Law; and the doctrine of grace under the new only?
A30249What is thy life and wealth to the glory of his God- head, which was laid aside for a while?
A30249What may we not expect for temporalls, if needfull, when he is thus gracious in spiritualls?
A30249What then should be the difference?)
A30249What then?
A30249What then?
A30249What was the opinion received among the Pharisees concerning the Commandments of God?
A30249What, shall we revile that which is Gods great mercy to a people?
A30249What?
A30249When our Affection and Passions are raised, how hardly are they composed again?
A30249Where is boasting then?
A30249Where is boasting then?
A30249Where is boasting then?
A30249Where is that man that doth not pray, or heare as he should doe?
A30249Where will formality, and customary duties appeare, if so be that we attend to this guide?
A30249Whether Gospel be a doctrine of works?
A30249Whether he be bound to obey the dictates of his naturall conscience?
A30249Whether it hath precepts, or threatnings?
A30249Whether justifying faith was then in Adam?
A30249Whether that which God requireth of us be greater, then that he demanded of Adam in the state of innocency?
A30249Whether the tree of life was a sacrament of Christ to Adam, or no?
A30249Whether there can be any such distinction made of Adam, while innocent, so as to be considered either in his naturalls, or supernaturalls?
A30249Whether they were bound to circumcise, and to use all those legall purifications?
A30249Whether this righteousnesse was naturall to Adam, or no?
A30249Whether this shall be restored to us in this life again?
A30249Who can heare without trembling of this great losse?
A30249Who can say, A deformed Thersites is a faire Absalom, because of borrowed beauty?
A30249Who can say, A lame man( say they) goeth right, because he hath other mens shooes?
A30249Who desireth the brasen Serpent, but he that is stung?
A30249Who knoweth not that the Pelagians set up grace?
A30249Who prizeth the city of refuge so much, as the malefactour that is pursued by guilt?
A30249Who then can be against the preaching of the Law, when it is such an excellent and pure rule, holding forth such precious holinesse?
A30249Why doe the Heathens rage?
A30249Why doe the heathen rage?
A30249Why doest thou not consider, that God hath found out for thee, even for thee, in this world, a righteousness, whereby thou art accepted of him?
A30249Why should sin be an heavie sin, a great sin, and Christ not also a wonderfull saving Christ?
A30249Why should they not say, The Law, as by David, as by Isaiah, and Ieremiah, doth not binde?
A30249Why should we conceive that, when the matter is necessary and perpetuall, God would alter and change the obligations?
A30249Why then doth God proclaime himself to them, a God gracious, forgiving iniquity, transgression and sin?
A30249You may quickly turn all the Gospel into the Law in that sense; you may as well say, What need I pray?
A30249and shall we not be affected here?
A30249and, may it be used well?
A30249because it is not good for justification, is it in no sense else good?
A30249for, had not the Godly under the Old Testament the Law written in their hearts?
A30249how are we angry, and sin?
A30249how can our actions be said to be the fruit of grace?
A30249how do they prove that the setting up any part or meanes of worship which the Lord hath not commanded is unlawfull, but by the second Commandement?
A30249how doe we grieve, and sin?
A30249how is the heavenly heart soon become earthly?
A30249how much rather this Law of God?
A30249how well might Chrysostome call him, Angelus terrestris,&, Cor Pauli est cor Christi?
A30249of works?
A30249of works?
A30249of works?
A30249the poore say, There I finde riches?
A30249to love God, if Christ had not been in that love?
A30249were not Ananias and Sapphira stricken dead immediately?
A30249what a free and meere gift then is salvation and eternall life to thee?
A30249what need I repent?
A30249why doth he bid us turne to him when we can not?

A55305After what manner is it wrought?
A55305After what manner it is wrought?
A55305Again; What is it for God to work the Act of Willing, so as men do not resist, but to work it in a way of dependence upon Man''s Will?
A55305Again; they urge that, What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it?
A55305All men, if they believe, shall be saved; saved, but how?
A55305All this is but 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, much fancy, and why should an immortal Soul be set upon it?
A55305Also the Objectors may be asked, Doth not God foreknow that the Creature set in such a state and order of things will finally sin?
A55305And after all this, is the Will in aequilibrio?
A55305And again; Posset Deus( saith he of wicked men) ipsorum voluntatem in bonum convertere, quoniam Omnipotens est; posset planè, cur ergo non fecit?
A55305And are Sufferings all the Image of Christ?
A55305And are all those which are called to Sufferings Justified and Glorified?
A55305And can there be less of the beauty of providence in the Spiritual world than in the natural?
A55305And how doth God reserve or make men to remain unto himself?
A55305And how irrational is it also?
A55305And how then is not Predestination to these?
A55305And how then without eternal Decrees can there be any foundation of Futures?
A55305And if Christ''s errand into the World was to execute Election, then how did he merit it?
A55305And if he did not order it to his own Glory, how should Light come out of Darkness, and Order out of Confusions?
A55305And if not, how can it actually turn to God, seeing that is actus ordinis supernaturalis?
A55305And if so, how is it retained to the Father?
A55305And if there were but one great Ear or Organ of Hearing common to all, how would Christ''s Ministers always be filling it with Gospel?
A55305And is all this glory of words poured out upon a mere posse; which doth not so much as encline to Conversion?
A55305And is there no Emphasis of Love?
A55305And is this for God to chuse like himself?
A55305And may a Will renewed with the holy Ghost, and right set by gracious Principles do thus?
A55305And seeing every Change is a kind of Death, must not the Deity suffer, and as it were die in this Mutation?
A55305And what Worlds can not the Life of God purchase?
A55305And what are these wishes?
A55305And what for just nothing, for a sic volo?
A55305And what hindred you from turning unto me?
A55305And what is all this but the executing of the Decree of Election?
A55305And what is the Calling following upon Predestination?
A55305And what is the Justification which hangs upon Calling?
A55305And what is this Will and Mercy but God''s gratuitous design of Grace and Glory to his Elect?
A55305And what nakedness can not the Righteousness of God cover?
A55305And what would not a Saint do, if but left in manu consilii sui?
A55305And when he was risen from the dead, he raises up the Faith of his Disciples, Why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
A55305And whence came all these numbers and hosts of Beings?
A55305And where in all this Epistle is the word[ justifie] so taken?
A55305And who is he but God the Creator?
A55305And who set you there at first?
A55305And why is it not free, if determined?
A55305And why so here?
A55305And why then do you call him dead?
A55305And why would you not?
A55305And, Ne dicas Deo interrogando, Quae est voluntas tua?
A55305Are and Glory no part thereof?
A55305Are not all Souls his own, and may he not chuse which he pleases?
A55305Are not all the Promises Yea and Amen in him?
A55305Are not here the noblest and highest Inclinations set forth unto us?
A55305Are there no strains of free Grace?
A55305Are these his Image also?
A55305Are they finite or infinite?
A55305Are those Spirits made perfect in every thing else but that?
A55305As to the first Quaere, Whether Christ died for all men?
A55305At enim gratiâ ille talis& tantus est, cur diversa est gratia, ubi natura communisest?
A55305But admit that these Graces were his own too; yet how can finite Graces satisfie for an infinite Evil?
A55305But further; Is not Faith the Grace of Union with Christ?
A55305But further; how did he do the Will of God?
A55305But here I shall be asked whether that posse convertere be not such a Principle?
A55305But how absurd is this?
A55305But how came you into such ranks?
A55305But how can he do so, if as to the Act of Election he be under the Pre- determining Will of Man?
A55305But how doth he blind and harden them?
A55305But how far will he remove it?
A55305But how unscriptural is this?
A55305But if Christ no way died for all men, how came the Ministers Commission to be so large?
A55305But if God electing did not consider men as sinners lying in the corrupt mass, what need was there of Mercy where there was no misery?
A55305But if Sufferings were all Christ''s Image, yet are all Sufferings his Image?
A55305But if all the rest might consist, yet where is the Efficacy of it?
A55305But if he did, what would become of them?
A55305But if one Creature could steal away all its Fellow- creatures from him, yet who shall turn back his Almighty Hand?
A55305But if the Will can not turn aside to such false Beatitudes, yet may it not suspend its Act as to the true?
A55305But if there be, how can he permit sin, seeing he is bound to give such Grace as will actually prevent it?
A55305But if this also might be satisfied, yet where is the Grace of it?
A55305But if this may be salved by the Divine Prescience, yet where is the Sovereignty of it?
A55305But is this so strange a thing( will you say?)
A55305But now if Christ by his Merits do found the very Decree of Election, is not the Order of working in the sacred Trinity inverted?
A55305But now if Christ died alike or equally for all, what becomes of his precious Blood?
A55305But now without gracious Principles in the Heart, how can the Heart be right or pure?
A55305But on the other side how cogent is the argument?
A55305But since you came over, where do you stand?
A55305But suppose they could all be induced to become a Sacrifice for us, would the holy One open his Eyes upon such a Satisfaction?
A55305But to go on; What is the Predestination here, but to a Conformity to the Image of Christ?
A55305But what a perplexed Labyrinth of words is here?
A55305But what is our most congruous conception thereof?
A55305But what is this interpretation but mere a perverting of Scripture?
A55305But what''s the meaning of this?
A55305But whence had you all that truth and goodness which is in you?
A55305But where in all the Scripture doth the word[ Calling] being put absolutely, and without such addition, ever signifie a Call to Sufferings?
A55305But where is the holiness and obedience of the Saints recorded, but in the very Decree of Election?
A55305But whither can he turn?
A55305But who dares add an[ it] to Gods Word, and in this Text to the two links and not to the former?
A55305But why a Philanthropy rather than a Philangely?
A55305But would all the Apostles bring forth fruit?
A55305But you''l say, How can these things be?
A55305But you''l say, Is not Eternal Life also a Reward of Faith and Holiness?
A55305But you''l say, Is not Man a living Creature?
A55305But you''l say, Might they not also resist him as to his internal Operations?
A55305But you''l say, the Passive Obedience is only meant there; but if so, why doth the Apostle oppose it to Adam''s Actual Disobedience?
A55305But your Beings being of such different sorts, how came you to be so kind each to other?

A55305Can the Captive do ought in it?
A55305Can the Will cease to be a rational and free Appetite?
A55305Can the hidden man be ever hid, the good treasure ever sealed, and the glory within ever shut up?
A55305Can the righteous God, who judges according to truth, impute Sin to his holy one?
A55305Christ suffered between two Thieves, a Type of the Elect and Reprobate World; but who dare say that he had as much respect to the one as to the other?

A55305Consider what a kind of Creation the production of gracious Principles is: Is it every way pure Creation?
A55305Consider what the Instrument is,''t is the Word of God; the two grand Truths therein are the Law and Gospel, and what are these in their eternal Idea?
A55305Consider who is the principal Agent, who but the Almighty?
A55305Could it not curse the Sinner?
A55305Could not the Blood of God have washed out the blackest spots of fallen Angels?
A55305Could that humane Nature( conceived by the holy Ghost, and inseparably united to the God- head) could that also transgress?
A55305Couldst thou not have given him some inward dispositions to Conversion?
A55305Couldst thou not make a new heart in every one of us?
A55305Cur dixit stultus, non est Deus?
A55305Did he will that it should be paid for all men, and so be a sufficient Price for them?
A55305Do we make void the Law by Faith, or by its Object our Redeemer and Redemption?
A55305Do you doubt whether I am he who paid down the Price of Redemption?
A55305Do you scruple whether that Price were accepted of God or not?
A55305Dost thou go on frowardly in the way of thy heart?
A55305Dost thou oppose the precious Gospel?
A55305Doth Sin profer a World?
A55305Doth he drop out of the state of Grace without any apostasie, or continue in it without any differencing quality?
A55305Doth he in hindring sin offer violence to man''s Liberty, as in permitting it he leaves him thereunto?
A55305Doth he yet destinate them to Eternal life without a Mediator?
A55305Doth not Christ dwell in the heart by faith?
A55305Doth not that evidently import a Decree, that whosoever believes shall be saved?
A55305Doth not the Father, even in his Eternal Election, work from the Son?
A55305Doth not the Will turn Brute in closing with sensual Lusts?

A55305When Christ through the Understanding thus pours out his precious Name as an Ointment unto the Will, how can it chuse but love him?
A55305When God came in the Flesh, what out- breakings of Glory were there?
A55305When through this hole of the door he thus drops in his sweet- smelling Truths upon the Will, how can it chuse but rise and open to him?
A55305Whence had she her fine Linnen, Wedding- garment, Gold tried in the fire?
A55305Whence is that universal connexion betwixt Faith& Salvation?
A55305Whence, but from the womb of the morning?
A55305Where is that perfect Obedience which is in the right hand and right eye of the Law?
A55305Where shall his Glory and spiritual Miracles appear?
A55305Where''s the consequence of David''s Obedience upon God''s Teaching, if Grace be superable?
A55305Where''s the truth of these Propositions, if God''s calling and drawing do not infer Man''s running?
A55305Where, when they say, that Illumination is wrought irresistibly?
A55305Wherefore when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
A55305Whether Christ died equally for all men?
A55305Whether Christ died for all men?
A55305Whether God be not the Author of Conversion?

A55305Whether the Word be the Means or Instrument of Conversion?
A55305Whether the Word of God be the Means or Instrument of Conversion?
A55305Whether the Work of Conversion be wrought in an irresistible way?
A55305Whether the Work of Conversion be wrought in an irresistible way?
A55305Which shall abide in thy Heart, Law or Lust?
A55305Which way can both these Wills stand together in the heart of God?
A55305Which way can the Will resist the infusion of the one more than of the other?
A55305Which way could it be breathed out from God''s Heart?
A55305Which way shall Christ have a Seed?
A55305Who but the Elect of God?
A55305Who can but blush at these passages, wherein the Jesuits themselves attribute more to free Grace, than the Remonstrants?
A55305Who can imagine that such words of universality, and such words of speciality should be of the same latitude?
A55305Who can limit the holy One?
A55305Who dares distinguish and say, Christ purchased part of the Promises and not all?
A55305Who ever resisted his Will?
A55305Who is there that lives and sins not?
A55305Why a Redemption for Men and not for Devils?
A55305Why a liberty of Contradiction to other Objects, but because the Understanding looks on them as matters of little or no moment?
A55305Why are any dimissi libero arbitrio, left to the miserable servitude of their own free Will?
A55305Why did the rebellious Israelites grieve their good God forty years together?
A55305Why do the Mammonists boast and trust in their uncertain Riches?
A55305Why doth the Atheist say in his heart, there is no God?
A55305Why doth the blind Idolater fall down to the Stock of a Tree?
A55305Why hast thou forsaken me?
A55305Why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our hearts from thy fear?
A55305Why hath a Will a liberty of Spontaneity to some Objects, but because the Understanding represents them as good pro hîc& nunc?

A55305Why is he so earnest for Understanding?
A55305Why is not Grace as common as Nature, and Saintship as Humanity?
A55305Why should Holiness be designed, which was yet in being and unforfeited?
A55305Why should Salvation be appointed, when as yet there was none lost, or in the state of perdition?
A55305Why should corrupt Reason mutter as if Satisfaction and Remission, which are matches in Scripture, were inconsistencies in Nature?
A55305Why, but because it is determined?
A55305Will it hang off from perfect Blessedness?
A55305Will men take a pin of it to hang a vessel thereon?
A55305Will not the new creature renewed by the holy Ghost, and sweetned by the holy Unction have some Odours and Fragrancies breaking forth from it?
A55305Will they not, if God give them a Will, a new heart and a new spirit?
A55305Will they not, if God take away the nilling and resisting Principle, the heart of stone?
A55305Will they not, if God write his Laws in their hearts and inward parts?
A55305You will say, He would have fulfilled them in all, but that men themselves will not: But what a strange word is this[ they will not]?
A55305You will say, What remedy for all this?
A55305You''l say, Is this so absurd?
A55305You''l say,''t is in the Person of Christ our Redeemer: But how is it there?
A55305and God''s sovereignty, hath not the potter power over the clay?
A55305and are they not extensive to all men?
A55305and can it do thus when a right- set Understanding is really actuated, and it self truly principled with Grace?
A55305and can there be a worse Stone than this?
A55305and do not these denominate him gracious in whom they are?
A55305and doth not the Scripture call men Beasts upon that account?
A55305and how then can that be decreed as a Reward without a preconsideration of these?
A55305and if free, how determined?
A55305and if not 〈 ◊ 〉 way doth their Unbelief give God the lye?
A55305and is not a posse peccare from him also?
A55305and unless this be cut off, can there be a true Circumcision?
A55305and when he says so, who may pare off ought, and say, it was not all but some?
A55305and whence is this approach but from God and God electing?
A55305and where are his Sufferings alone so stiled in Scripture?
A55305and why doth he say Obedience in general?
A55305and yet did not his humane Will indeclinably follow his divine?
A55305being only streams from God, as light from the Sun; If the Sun be gone, who can keep light in the Air?
A55305but if there be, how are these things connected?
A55305could they have it quite out of God''s Way?
A55305couldst thou not at least have inwardly enlightned every one?
A55305couldst thou not write the Law in every Heart?
A55305cur, nisi quia stultus est?
A55305cùm sim quod audio, i d est, homo, quod est& ille de quo ago, cur non sim quod& ille?
A55305doth it not directly resist the Blood and Righteousness of Christ?
A55305he is a root of fatness and sweetness; Art thou a lost and half- damned Creature?
A55305he is a sun of righteousness; Art thou in death?
A55305he is but as other men are, and how can he be in it?
A55305he is the resurrection and the life; Art thou a withered branch?
A55305he''l give us hearts of flesh capable thereof; are our hearts void of God''s Law?
A55305he''l roll away the stone from them; do our hearts resist holy impressions?
A55305his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
A55305how Resurrection?
A55305how, but by giving of Faith unto them?
A55305if a better Grace of the Spirit, how can it precede such a Mother- grace as Faith?
A55305if the passive obedience of Christ apart purchase all for us, where is the glory of the active?
A55305is not Unbelief of our Spirit, and Faith of Gods?
A55305knocked and you would not open?
A55305moved and you would not stir?
A55305must therefore Faith reject it?
A55305neither is possible; he back- slides not from God, and how can he be out of the state of Grace?
A55305offered Christ and Heaven and you would not accept?
A55305or can it do so, and the summū malū not fall into its embraces?
A55305or draw back from the Kingdom of Heaven which never approached unto them?
A55305or from what other Scripture can it be demonstrated?
A55305or neglect Salvation for whom it was never prepared?
A55305or trample on that precious Blood which was never shed for them?
A55305or was it a Church in his Intention?
A55305or what is so properly such as his Active Obedience?
A55305or who shall descend into the deep?
A55305quia noluit; cur noluerit?
A55305quid credidit?
A55305quid egit ante?
A55305quid petivit, ut ad hanc ineffabilem excellentiam perveniret?
A55305quomodo isti inde delentur, ubi nunquam scripti sunt?
A55305saith the Soul, all this is but thick clay, and why should I lade my Eagle- affections with it?
A55305says the Soul, this is he who made the Robe of Righteousness for me, and how much love was there in every thread of it?
A55305that one and the same thing should be imported in both?
A55305then Christ died for all men; or did he will that it should not be paid for all men, but only be sufficient for them in its intrinsecal value?
A55305therefore suffer me to parly their Original out of their own mouths, Creatures, whence came you?
A55305they are all Blackamoors to this all- lovely Jesus; What, to repentant Tears?
A55305this Principle rests on him as the power of God to cast them down: Are there Armies of temptations round about us?
A55305those want washing in his Blood; What, to its good Works and Righteousness?
A55305to the ungathered ones?
A55305tu quis es qui respondeas Deo?
A55305what a Chaos in the Elements?
A55305what a crack in the heavenly Orbs?
A55305what a strange Dooms- day by the blending of Sun and Sea, Heaven and Earth together?
A55305what a tumbling cast would there be among the Angels?
A55305what amazing Changes?
A55305what an Heaven and Earth full of admirable Creatures and Harmonies issued forth?
A55305what an horrible Tempest must needs ensue?
A55305what from its own blessedness verily, thoroughly believed?
A55305what from the only way to Blessedness evidently pointed out?
A55305what high strains are here?
A55305what is man that thou savest him?
A55305what is the mutable Being of Creatures, unless fixed by the Will of the Necesse esse?
A55305what may not be done by it?
A55305what rare Eloquence?
A55305what shall I do to be saved?
A55305what trembling fits would there be in them?
A55305what words of Power?
A55305when I laid the measures of her Graces in my Eternal purpose?
A55305which way can God''s Call be answered, or his Desire or Delight attained?
A55305whom on earth besides thee?
A55305whom thou chusest and causest to approach unto thee; and what approach can a sinful worm have to the holy one, what but by the Faith of Christ?
A55305why hast thou chosen me?
A55305why hast thou forsaken me?
A55305why hast thou loved me?
A55305why should they come to that Feast for whom nothing is prepared?
A55305would they all do so and be happy?
A55305yet why may it not be so in an infinite?
