A66060 | both make and distinguish them? |
A66060 | or doth not God understand this, as well as the Physician that? |
A66060 | should he not be troubled at the afflictions that befall him? |
A66060 | what grounds we have for hope? |
A63913 | Are they able to demonstrate that there is no God? |
A63913 | Because you ca n''t perceive how it can be made out of Nothing: Why do you not also think your self Eternal? |
A63913 | But is the Chair of Scorners at last prov''d the only Chair of Infallibility? |
A63913 | But what puts the Senses in the way and method to correct themselves? |
A63913 | But whether the will to write, or the will to forbear, come upon him according to his will, or according to any thing else in his own power? |

A63913 | Do not those in Bedlam think themselves wiser than others? |
A63913 | Do they hope to slip beyond the Bounds of his Power, by falling into Nothing when they dye? |
A63913 | Do they think that we are all become such Fools to take Scoffs for Arguments, and Railery for Demonstration? |
A63913 | First, I would ask them, whether they imagine that all Matter, every Particle of Matter thinks? |
A63913 | For example, My right hand writes, whilst my left hand is still, what causes Rest in one, and Motion in the other? |
A63913 | I asked the Gentleman how he would come to know their proper Places and Insertions? |
A63913 | If he had, or had not a full Conviction of the Soul''s Immortality? |
A63913 | If these Men were capable of Counsel, I would ask them whether they are absolutely sure that they are in the right? |
A63913 | If this Answer satisfies not,''t is plain the meaning of the Question, what determines the Will? |
A63913 | Let Mechanism here make an Experiment of its Power, and produce a spiral and turbinated Motion of the whole moved Body without an External Director? |
A63913 | Let therefore the Imagination be never so strong, the Confidence never so great, the Intent never so good, the Question is, whence is this? |
A63913 | Matter must be allowed Eternal: Why? |
A63913 | Must those be the Standard of Mankind, who seem to have little lest of Humane Nature, but laughter and the shape of Men? |
A63913 | Now as it not more reasonable to ascribe the constant observance of these Rules, to an Intelligent Being, than to Chance or no Cause? |
A63913 | Now what can be more expressive of two several perceptive Souls in Man, whose Natures and whose Laws are contrary to each other? |
A63913 | Quae Religio? |
A63913 | Secondly, If all Matter do not think, I next ask, Whether it be only one Atom that does so? |
A63913 | Should a Jest or a foolish Witticism be of more weight than the Dictates of common Sense and sound Reason? |
A63913 | Si vult& potest, quod solum Deo convenit, unde ergo Mala? |
A63913 | The Question therefore is not, Whether a Man be not a free Agent? |
A63913 | To the Question, what is it determines the Will? |
A63913 | What he thought of the Christian Religion? |
A63913 | When did Imagination give Life to a Fly, or do the least act out of it self? |
A63913 | Whether he conceived his Mind to be now as clear, as active, and as vigorous as it had been some few days before his Ilness? |
A63913 | Who knoweth the Spirit of Man that goeth upward, and the Spirit of the Beast that goeth downward to the Earth? |
A63913 | Why former Heroes fell without a Name? |
A63913 | Why not their Battles told by lasting Fame? |
A63913 | aut cur illa non tollit? |
A63913 | aut ea quae vix summâ Ingenij ratione comprehendat, nulla ratione moveri putet? |

A45400 | ( Is not one of these as truly future, as the other, when the man is not yet borne?) |
A45400 | Again you aske, can God seriously call him, who[ he sees] will never repent, seriously do that he sees useless, and absolutely ineffectuall?] |
A45400 | And how then is this reconcileable with the doctrine of sufficient grace alwayes accompanying the word? |
A45400 | And this introduceth the fourth and last question, What then is it that renders sufficient Grace Effectuall both to Conversion and Perseverance? |
A45400 | And what if Godsees from all eternity that he will thus fall, doth that render his fall unavoidable? |
A45400 | B. is truly salvable whilst you retain your supposition that he is damned? |
A45400 | B. 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? |
A45400 | But 1. Who urged that former argument in that forme? |
A45400 | But 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? |
A45400 | But 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? |
A45400 | But 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? |
A45400 | But you take no heed to the place of Scripture, which I demonstrated it by, turne you, turne you, why will you dye? |
A45400 | By it''s own insufficiency or impropriety to the disease, or by the obstinacy of the patient, that he will not take it? |
A45400 | Doth any man now want a perspective to discerne that these messages of heaven were not vaine? |
A45400 | For can you doubt that God knowes what is now past? |
A45400 | How so? |
A45400 | How wide are these one from the other? |
A45400 | I may not unfitly ask this question, whether they think God had then that kindness to Absolom that David had? |
A45400 | I must ask by what meanes it comes to passe that that medicine will do him no good? |
A45400 | I now ask you, how you know he is? |
A45400 | I pray, is nothing possible to come to passe, but what actually comes to passe? |
A45400 | I presume you do not, can not; And then why may he not as well know what is future? |
A45400 | If he had not, how can it be drawn into example to God? |
A45400 | If he sees them as they will be hereafter, sure this is sufficient, who would desire any more? |
A45400 | Is 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? |
A45400 | Is that a mistake which is perfectly true? |
A45400 | Let it then be granted that Gods understanding depends on the thing, what followes thence? |
A45400 | Must 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? |
A45400 | O Lord, how long shall we thus violate and defame that Gospel of peace that we profess? |
A45400 | Or is not Gods foresight agreeable to what is? |
A45400 | Then how was Christ given in decreto divino, before the creation of the world? |
A45400 | What hath he to do to judge them that are without? |
A45400 | What two things can be lesse all one then these? |
A45400 | Whether the Scripture ought not to be our guide in all even opining and conjecturing in such matters, which are so much above our reason? |
A45400 | Why do you not lay this to heart, when it is so cleare, and( you yet give me your leave to say,) unanswerable? |
A45400 | Would you think it tolerable for any Christian to say hereupon, it was vain, for Christ to do all this? |
A45400 | Your supposed intricacy, or unfathomable question, is, what it is that makes sufficient grace to be effectuall to any? |
A45400 | before his conversion,( and then for the gaining of Gods savour what needed his conversion?) |
A45400 | how long shall we thus madly defeat our selves, lose that Christianity which we pretend to strive for? |
A45400 | of not- resisting; which what is it other then a direct contradiction, a power and not a power to the same act? |
A45400 | or consequently of your whole cause? |
A45400 | whence is this probity? |

A64252 | What is he desirous to marry, and would not be coupled to a chaste wife? |
A64252 | What kinde of man is that Phocas? |

A70812 | And if the Righteous shall scarcely be saved where shall the Vngodly and the Sinner appeare? |
A70812 | And if they should now conquer for us, what shall we doe with them afterward? |
A70812 | And 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? |
A70812 | And is not Anabaptisma, at least as, maintain''d by divers, Schisme, and contrary to sound Doctrine? |
A70812 | And then that in the second place, Enquiry should be made for what Speciall Provocations it is that there are such heavy Judgements on the Land? |
A70812 | And what Idolater, or seduced Prophet, might not( or may not) plead his Conscience? |
A70812 | And what is this but want of Faith in GOD? |
A70812 | And why should not we looke for the like, if we were as Zealous for GOD, and trusted as much in GOD, as he? |
A70812 | Are mens matters worthy more regard then GODS? |
A70812 | Are not here fearefull inventions for Him to take vengeance upon? |
A70812 | Are not many apparently worse then they were wo nt to be? |
A70812 | Behold the Righteous shall be recompensed in the earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner? |
A70812 | But I pray, judge but in a few Instances, whether all pretence of Conscience ought to be a sufficient plea for Toleration and Liberty? |
A70812 | But how is the case altered if it prove to be a child or a kinsman, a friend or even but a servant? |
A70812 | But how will GOD take this at our hands, doe we thinke? |
A70812 | But specially how did GOD take it at Elies hand, though a good man? |
A70812 | Can 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? |
A70812 | Doe we intend to keepe them in order then? |
A70812 | Doe we not often take it very hainously, that men should find any fault with such? |
A70812 | Goe but into any place, and what is the great businesse that you find every one almost set upon? |
A70812 | How doe we shrinke, and draw back, and make excuses when we fore- see any difficulty more then ordinary in the imployment? |
A70812 | How doth our affection oft commend them to places of Imployment and Trust, beyond their abilities or merit? |
A70812 | How excellent an Example and Encouragement doe we again find recorded concerning him in the next Chapter, the two last verses? |
A70812 | How few are there of us, that can afford to venture upon undertakings that are like to provoke the wrath of men, specially great men, against us? |
A70812 | How low had our sins brought us the last yeere about this time? |
A70812 | How many Errors, and strange opinions are there to be found even among such as are all pretenders to the way of Truth? |
A70812 | I 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? |
A70812 | If any say, Their Conscience allowes them not to Contribute to your Just and Necessary Defence, shall they be allowed this Liberty? |
A70812 | If any say, these all, or most of them, are belonging to the Second Table, and the Liberty pleaded for, is onely in matters of the First Table? |
A70812 | If any shall say, But would not GOD have a Multitude forborne, if they be in an Errour, or Disorder? |
A70812 | If others say, their Consciences allow not them to beare Armes for you, shall they have altogether their Liberty? |
A70812 | If these things be done in the greene Tree, what shall be done in the Dry? |
A70812 | In a word, what outrage of wickednesse is there that we have not just cause to beleeve to be too ordinary among our people? |
A70812 | Is it not for this that GOD hath put the sword of Justice into your hands? |
A70812 | Is not this the quarrell of the warre, because Delinquents are protected against the hand of Justice? |
A70812 | Is there not much selfe- seeking apparant in all kind of undertakings? |
A70812 | Is this the fruit of our Covenant? |
A70812 | Is this, think we, the amendment that GOD lookes for at our hands? |
A70812 | Let us therefore looke what we have done all of us in pursuit of our Covenant? |
A70812 | May not a Multitude be forborne in Errour? |
A70812 | Now is there not among us a great deale of guilt in this kind? |
A70812 | Now what was that which made him doe thus? |
A70812 | Or can you, without destraying all bonds of Civill Converse, and wholly overthrow of all Humane Judicature? |
A70812 | Or may We endure them, without His displeasure against our selves? |
A70812 | Or 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? |
A70812 | Or 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? |
A70812 | Propriety of goods: Will you afford them their Liberty herein? |
A70812 | Specially when men deale perversely with us? |
A70812 | Table( Idolatries, Blasphemies, Heresies,& c.) then in those against the second? |
A70812 | Table, then against the second? |
A70812 | There be those that say their Conscience is against all taking of an Oath before a Magistrate? |
A70812 | Was this the meaning of any in this particular, to promise enough, but intend to performe nothing? |
A70812 | Weepe for your selves and for your children, for if these things be done in the greene tree, what shall be done in the dry? |
A70812 | What shall GOD doe with us, if all these things will not amend us? |
A70812 | What should I speake of Oathes, Cursings and Blasphemies? |
A70812 | What we have neglected? |
A70812 | What would become then of all your own Authority, and of all Lawes, and Liberties of the Kingdome? |
A70812 | Where then will your Armies be paid? |
A70812 | Will Christ, I say, endure these things? |
A70812 | Will you allow an Vniversall Liberty of this? |
A70812 | Would you know who they are? |
A70812 | Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination and ye defile every one his neighbours wife, and shall ye possesse the Land? |
A70812 | You eate with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your Idols and shedde blood, and shall ye possesse the Land? |
A70812 | You thus and thus misbehave your selves, and shall you have peace? |
A70812 | ambitious putting themselves forward, and practises to make themselves rich, by every imployment? |
A70812 | and even upon some parts of our owne Kingdome and Nation? |
A70812 | and 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? |
A70812 | and how little doe we usually tremble at the hearing of them? |
A70812 | and however, is it not apparently most contrary to the Power of Godlinesse? |
A70812 | and in stead thereof to have our spirits ensnared( enslaved) with the Feare of Men? |
A70812 | and possibly even to be their Agents and Instruments to doe very badde Acts for them and with them? |
A70812 | and prove corruptors of others, that now seeme to be of a better temper? |
A70812 | and so purposed, and practised from time to time? |
A70812 | and tell Him they meane nothing lesse then to be humbled in heart before Him? |
A70812 | and the Church of GOD peaceably setled in a holy Reformation? |
A70812 | and upon this Venture upon Actions which GOD hath not allowed us? |
A70812 | and what we are yet a doing? |
A70812 | and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it? |
A70812 | how partiall are we to those that are our own? |
A70812 | or at least now are they at liberty to doe nothing of what they have so solemnely and sacredly promised and sworne? |
A70812 | or delayed? |
A70812 | or how did GOD take it at Samuels hands, that he was so partiall to his sons, as hath been noted? |
A70812 | or suffer them to plead that they have merited an exemption from all restraint of their licentiousnesse? |
A70812 | or that such and such thinke or speake so as well as we, and gave us the example before we ventured upon it? |
A70812 | shall you have setling? |
A70812 | shall you possesse the Land? |
A70812 | that for One Achan not sought out, Israels Army was overthrowne? |
A70812 | that the pretence of Conscience shall claime a Liberty in that which concernes GODS Honour, and not in that which concernes men? |
A70812 | when none is with us, but GOD and our own consciences? |
A70812 | when women dare come hither with their bare breasts, and spotted faces, and garish apparell, is not this as it were to outface GOD? |
A27163 | And hath the reigne of our now Soveraigne King Iames beene free from these Sinons? |
A27163 | And should I lye still, and see my Countrey set on fire by the persecution? |
A27163 | And under what colour can the Popes usurpe this Authority, to quit and discharge subjects of their oath wherewith they are bound to their Superiors? |
A27163 | And what should a man doe in this case? |
A27163 | And yet who perceiveth these small things? |
A27163 | Are there fruit and no trees? |
A27163 | Be a tempest without winde? |
A27163 | But what got he by it? |
A27163 | But what of that? |
A27163 | But what was the end of this Tyran? |
A27163 | Can a ship sayle without a Pylot? |
A27163 | Can it raine without a cloud? |
A27163 | Can you behold all the secrets of nature? |
A27163 | Can you behold the winde? |
A27163 | Can you see the secrets of your owne bodies, your entrailes, your heart and your braine? |
A27163 | Can you see the sweet smell of fragrant flowers along the fields? |
A27163 | Did not the Lord turne his mischief upon his own head? |
A27163 | Doth it not deserve to be punished with Scorpions? |
A27163 | Doth not every thunderclap constraine you to tremble at the blast of his voyce? |
A27163 | For 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? |
A27163 | God forbiddeth us to sweare by his name in vaine: and yet what is more rise than that? |
A27163 | How far then were they from giving leave and liberty for filthy and stinking brothel- houses to be erected and maintained? |
A27163 | How many murders are, have been, and still will be committed thereby? |
A27163 | How many young folke are there, as well men as women, that by this meanes give themselves over to loosenesse, and undo themselves utterly? |
A27163 | How much more then for prophaning and deriding his Word? |
A27163 | How much more then for the abusing and contemning the Sacraments? |
A27163 | How much more then is the Lord enraged, when they are scoffed at, derided, and set at naught? |
A27163 | How unspeakable are his judgements? |
A27163 | If then such pastimes were by the judgements of the Romanes noted with infamy, shall we have their equals in follies in better account? |
A27163 | Is it the denying of a mans selfe? |
A27163 | Is not this a manifest and profest disobedience, and intolerable rebellion against our Maker? |
A27163 | Is not this the way to provoke his wrath, and stirre up his indignation against them? |
A27163 | Is not this to declare himselfe openly to be Antichrist? |
A27163 | Is not this to plucke a soul out of the House of God, and thrust it into the house of the devill? |
A27163 | Is there a day without a Sun? |
A27163 | Is there nothing but a voice, a singing of birds, or an harmonious consort of musicall instruments in the world? |
A27163 | Nay who dare take knowledge of them? |
A27163 | Now as this fact was a doing, a blind man ran by, being led by his dog; who hearing one groane, asked who it was? |
A27163 | Now then if the very threatnings ought to serve for such good use, shall not the execution and performance of them serve much more? |
A27163 | Now 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? |
A27163 | Or a house be built without a Carpenter or builder? |
A27163 | Or of Nero that slew his mother Agrippina, who was continually after pursued with a spirit in his mothers shape? |
A27163 | Or of the evil spirits that haunted the grave of that cruel Tyrant Caesar Caligula? |
A27163 | Or that he lies upon a Beacons side, With watchfull eye to circumscribe their traine, And hath no more regard unto their paine? |
A27163 | Or the son to come after the father? |
A27163 | Or wherein could these Devils incarnate shew forth their malice more apparently than thus? |
A27163 | Or who is so fond as to put affiance in them? |
A27163 | Plants and no seeds? |
A27163 | Psalme proclaimeth his judgement: Why boastest thou in thy wickednesse thou Tyran? |
A27163 | Say, you hogs and dogs, doe you not beleeve that which you see? |
A27163 | Stephen Gardiner also, was one of the grand butchers in this land, what a miserable end came hee unto? |
A27163 | The famous and rich Temple of Iupiter at Apamea, how strangely did it come to ruine and destruction? |
A27163 | The putting off the old man touching our conversation in this life? |
A27163 | The spirituall regeneration? |
A27163 | Thus was the first city and temple destroyed: and did the second fare any better? |
A27163 | To the Law, and to the Testimony? |
A27163 | Was not his life indangered, and his body kept in close prison, where he cooled his feet two yeares or more? |
A27163 | Wat shall we thinke of Manasses? |
A27163 | What 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? |
A27163 | What childe is there that is not bound to honour and reverence his father? |
A27163 | What cursed madnesse and impiety is this? |
A27163 | What greater villany could there be than this? |
A27163 | What more cruell fact( considering the person) might be committed? |
A27163 | What more notable and wonderfull judgement could happen? |
A27163 | What more wicked sentence was ever pronounced? |
A27163 | What must wee therefore doe? |
A27163 | What profits then the sheephooke of their Guide? |
A27163 | What servant, that is not bound to obey his master, and to doe all that he shall will him? |
A27163 | What shall I say of the Earle of Arundell, and a second Earle of Northumberland? |
A27163 | What should I speake of the house of Eubatis in Corinth, written by Lucian? |
A27163 | What subject, that is not tied in subjection to his Prince and Soveraigne? |
A27163 | What viler disgrace could there be than this? |
A27163 | Which 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? |
A27163 | Who seeth not here manifest traces and footsteps of Gods providence? |
A27163 | a 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? |
A27163 | and lastly, who dare assay to punish them? |
A27163 | answered, Doe wee not cast from us lice and flegme which are also bred of our bodies? |
A27163 | did hee not procure the death of six thousand men at one clap, at the discomfiture of Marius? |
A27163 | doe not these speeches bewray a villanous and abhominable Atheist, if ever any were? |
A27163 | from the living to the dead? |
A27163 | or 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? |
A27163 | or of Otto that slew his predecessor Galba; after which he never ceased to be molestred with fearful and terrible visions? |
A27163 | out of Heaven, into Hell? |
A27163 | than which, what greater apostasie or falling from God can there be? |
A27163 | who can accuse a duety of piety? |
A27163 | who dare sit down to judge them? |
A27163 | who 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? |
A70182 | And can they be Physically divided into parts of which they do n''t consist? |
A70182 | And how can their deliverance be effected? |
A70182 | And how can we be assured of that, if we know not that Veracity is a perfection? |
A70182 | And how oddly does it look, that one solitary Individual of a Species should exist for God knows how many ages alone? |
A70182 | And if he will the contrary to be true, namely, That he does not Exist, what becomes of him then? |
A70182 | And if there be lapsed Souls there, how shall they be recovered? |
A70182 | And indeed what can be absolute Soveraignty in an intelligent Being, if this be not? |
A70182 | And shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? |
A70182 | And that in the best and noblest pieces of his Creation? |
A70182 | And then I would ask him, how he came to know what he affirms so boldly? |
A70182 | And what a Paradox is this, that our Understandings, as our Eyes, are made onely for things revealed? |
A70182 | And 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? |
A70182 | And what could God do more correspondently to his Wisdom and Goodness, dealing with free Agents, such as humane Souls are, than this? |
A70182 | And what difference betwixt Impossibility and Necessity? |
A70182 | And what great matter is it if they be not, provided they be as they are and ought to be, Divine? |
A70182 | And what greater Absoluteness than this? |
A70182 | And who knows but this might be part at least of that Glory which, he says, he had before the world was? |
A70182 | And why were we drawn out of our nothings, but because it was better for us to be, than not to be? |
A70182 | And yet that others, that have strong motives and allurements to the contrary, should violently break out into all kinds of extravagance and impiety? |
A70182 | But did you take this for any shew of a proof? |
A70182 | But 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? |
A70182 | But it will be said,( 3) If our Souls liv''d in a former state, did they act in bodies, or without them? |
A70182 | But shall the righteous perish with the wicked? |
A70182 | But the Patriarch Abraham was of another mind, Shall not the Judge of the whole Earth do right? |
A70182 | But then you will say, What is the door and lock to this terrible place? |
A70182 | But whither am I going? |
A70182 | But who does not at first sight discern the weakness of this Allegation? |
A70182 | But will it be said, why did not the divine Goodness endue us all with this moral ● ability? |
A70182 | But( 2) Why is it so absurd that the Soul should have actuated another kind of body, before it came into this? |
A70182 | Can any one say that our supposition derogates from the Divine concourse or Providence? |
A70182 | Could not the Eternal Logos and the Ministry of Angels sufficiently discharge that Province? |
A70182 | Does Mental and Sensitive Nature act on Brutes and Vegetables and all the Passive Elements? |
A70182 | Doth it use to make and presently destroy? |
A70182 | FOR can it be imagin''d that every Argument can be made a proportioned Medium to prove every Conclusion? |
A70182 | For how can that be the effect of an equilibrious or sufficient Free Will and Power, that is in a manner perpetual and constant? |
A70182 | For if they can act so fully and beatifically without any body, what need there be any Resurrection of the body at all? |
A70182 | For their Prince is the Prince of the Air, as the Apostle calls him; and where can his subjects be, but where he is? |
A70182 | For what a kind of Wisdom or Justice would that be that tended to no good? |
A70182 | For what can infinite Wisdom be, but a steady, and immoveable comprehension of all those natures and relations? |
A70182 | For 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? |
A70182 | For who shall be the common Seeds- man of succeeding Humanity, when all mankind is swept away by the fiery deluge? |
A70182 | For why may not this Earth be the onely Hospital, Nosocomium or Coemeterium, speaking Platonically, of sinfully lapsed Souls? |
A70182 | For, would the world have been too little to have contain''d those souls, without justling with some others? |
A70182 | Had it not been better for us to have been made in this condition of security, than in a state so dangerous? |
A70182 | Here therefore I demand, Are we not to thank him and praise him for his actions of Wisdom, Justice, and Holiness, though they be necessary? |
A70182 | How 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? |
A70182 | How can such a cause produce an effect so disproportionate? |
A70182 | How does this consist with Gods fresh creating humane Souls pure and innocent, and putting them into Bodies? |
A70182 | How then can the Idea of God chiefly consist in this? |
A70182 | How then should the Soul remember what she did or observ''d many hundreds, nay thousands of years ago? |
A70182 | If 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? |
A70182 | If all were Eye, where were the Hearing,& c. as the Apostle argues? |
A70182 | If bounded by Wisdom and Justice, why is it bounded by them, but that it is better so to be than otherwise? |
A70182 | If so, how comes it about that at last they can all so well consist together? |
A70182 | Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? |
A70182 | Is it possible there should be such a kind of Geometry, wherein any Problem should be demonstrated by any Principles? |
A70182 | Is not this to ● lurr his goodness, and to strait- lace the divine beneficence? |
A70182 | Is there a word said in his revealed Will to the contrary? |
A70182 | Is this an effect of those tender mercies that are over all his works? |
A70182 | Matter can do nothing but by motion, and what relation hath that to a moral Contagion? |
A70182 | Moreover the Question of the Disciples,* Was it for this mans sin, or for his Fathers that he was born blind? |
A70182 | Nay, than in the sins of Beelzebub or Lucifer? |
A70182 | Or 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? |
A70182 | Quid jucundius quàm scire quid simus, quid fuerimus, quid erimus, atque cum his etiam Divina illa atque suprema post obitum mundique Vicissitudines? |
A70182 | Therefore before I go further, I would demand, whence comes this meer notional or speculative variety? |
A70182 | To frame one thing and give it such or such a nature, and then undo what he had done, and make it another? |
A70182 | Was it for this mans sin, or his fathers, that he was born blind? |
A70182 | What a distorted and preposterous account is that found, that God should punish men before they sin, because he foresees they will sin? |
A70182 | What is then: mere Will and Power left alone, but a blind Hurricane of Hell? |
A70182 | What reason can be more clear or more convincing, That God can create a Spirit in the proper sense thereof, which includes Indiscerpibility? |
A70182 | What remains then to be his Humiliation, but the condescending to assist and countenance the unclean endeavours of Adulterers and Adulteresses? |
A70182 | What then is that action which proceeds onely from that part from which Goodness is secluded? |
A70182 | What was it that gave us our being, but the immense goodness of our Maker? |
A70182 | When 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? |
A70182 | Where is then the difference betwixt the just and the wicked, in state, place, and body? |
A70182 | Where should he use his Understanding and Reason, if not in things unrevealed in Scripture; that is, in Philosophical things? |
A70182 | Whither then can this Sol redivivus or the Earth turned wholly into the Materia subtilissima again be carried, but into the Sun it self? |
A70182 | Who acquainted him with the Divine Counsels? |
A70182 | Why 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? |
A70182 | Why therefore may we not lapse as before? |
A70182 | Why? |
A70182 | Will not the sincere and vertuous both in the Earth and Air be secured from this sad fate? |
A70182 | and how shall we know it is so, unless there be an intrinsecal relation betwixt Veracity and Perfection? |
A70182 | and if it be an humbling and debasing of him, how is it glorious? |
A70182 | be said neither to have done good nor evil, if they pre- existed before they came into this world? |
A70182 | or, hath he by his holy pen- men told us that either of the other ways was more sutable to his beneplaciture? |
A70182 | or, would they by violence have taken any of the priviledges of the other intellectual Creatures from them? |
A70182 | shall Christ undergo another and another death for them? |
A70182 | that any Object may be conformable to any Faculty? |
A70182 | the state of silence and insensibility? |
A70182 | would 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? |
A42547 | 12.: Behold he taketh away, who can hinder him? |
A42547 | 12.: Behold he taketh away, who can hinder him? |
A42547 | And how hath the Lord sent a dreadful Fire upon London, and it hath consumed the lofty buildings and Palaces thereof in September last? |
A42547 | And who dareth or can object the least injury done unto him? |
A42547 | Are any dangers so great, any enemies so strong, that I can not shield thee against them? |
A42547 | Are they falsly accused, and thrown into prison? |
A42547 | Are your lusts your Centurions still? |
A42547 | Art thou rich and wealthy, thou mayst be brought to beggery and penury? |
A42547 | Art thou slandered and disgraced with calumnies by enemies? |
A42547 | As God complained of the Jews, Is it time for you to dwell in your seiled houses, and this house lye waste? |

A42547 | and hast thou cause to fear any wants? |
A42547 | and how passionately do we lament their loss? |
A42547 | and how unwilling are we to go out of it, albeit we are in danger of being suffocated with the smoak of it? |

A04194 | What meant he then to use such tearmes? |
A04194 | What shall we say then? |
A04194 | What then was the issue of that Cordiall which the Prophet ministred unto them, being but the extraction of the former generalls? |
A04194 | What was it then in his Philosophy, which framed the organs of bodily sense? |
A04194 | What was the reason? |
A04194 | What? |
A04194 | Where wast thou( said God to* Iob) when I laid the foundations of the Earth? |
A04194 | Wherefore have I seene them dismaid, and turned away backe? |
A04194 | Wherein then consists his error? |
A04194 | Wherein then, or upon what grounds did he dissent from them? |
A04194 | Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? |
A04194 | Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? |
A04194 | Whilest Tiglath Pelezer, Senacherib, and other Kings of Assyria, were Hammers in the hand of God, who could resist them? |
A04194 | Whither shall I goe( saith the Psalmist) from thy Spirit? |
A04194 | Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? |
A04194 | Who looks on men, and on their manners vile, Weenes nought is wrought, nought got sans force or guile: Who nearer looks, spyes( who knows what?) |
A04194 | Whose shame did he fome out with his last breath, his owne, or some others? |
A04194 | Why sayest thou O Iacob, and speakest O Israel; My way is hid from the Lord, and my Iudgement is passed over from my God? |
A04194 | Will you heare a bruit make Enthymems? |
A04194 | a body already organized and indued with sense? |
A04194 | above all measure? |
A04194 | admotaque moenibus arma? |
A04194 | and awake, that shall vex thee? |
A04194 | and if his will be not fulfilled, his decree must needs bee broken; and if his decree may be broken, how is his will said to be irresistible? |
A04194 | and if thou doest not well, sinne lyeth at the doore: and unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him? |
A04194 | and the body than rayment? |
A04194 | and thou shalt be for booties unto thē? |
A04194 | and to him that ladeth himselfe with thick clay? |
A04194 | and why is thy countenance fallen? |
A04194 | and why is thy countenance fallen? |
A04194 | did the Pslmist utter them out of tender affection to his people and country, without commission from his Maker? |
A04194 | doth he mete out punishment unto Princes, in just equality to the harmes which they have wrongfully done to their subjects or inferiours? |
A04194 | either a Vine figs? |
A04194 | from any second cause, or from the first cause of all things? |
A04194 | hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the Earth fainteth not, neither is wearie? |
A04194 | how do we beleeve him to be Omnipotent? |
A04194 | how hath Moab turned the backe with shame? |
A04194 | how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations? |
A04194 | if thou doe well, shalt thou not be accepted? |
A04194 | of such onely as truly repent, and by patient continuance in wel- doing, seeke for glory, honour, and immortality? |
A04194 | or a spirit( virtus formatrix) which rather is in the body, than is a body it selfe? |
A04194 | or doe they make this imaginary time or place fully commensurable to eternity or immensity? |
A04194 | or how it should come to oppose Gods Almightie power, more then eyther non esse, simple not being, or all things that are possibly can doe? |
A04194 | or in respect of knowledge divine? |
A04194 | or is God said to be omnipotent onely in this respect, that hee is able to doe all things, that are possible to be done? |
A04194 | or shall wee say perfections are in him, rather than in the things themselves? |
A04194 | or such only as include perfection? |
A04194 | or that he is where nothing is with Him? |
A04194 | or was He lesse affected towards his people then this his messenger, that his message wants the waight of everlasting truth? |
A04194 | or what doth this particle import? |
A04194 | or what is it to be infinite? |
A04194 | or what shall we drinke? |
A04194 | or wherewithall shall we be cloathed? |
A04194 | or whither shall I flye from thy presence? |
A04194 | or who laid the corner stone thereof? |
A04194 | quis non deridebit? |
A04194 | shall every builder of an house be a God? |
A04194 | shall we say then, that things not possible onely, but impossible, may be done or made by power Omnipotent? |
A04194 | that God did make mans fall, his first sinne or appetite of the forbidden fruite, to bee necessarie, or necessitate his will in his sinister choyces? |
A04194 | that he had denounced all this evill against Ierusalem, or intreated Hezekiah so roughly by his Prophet Micha? |
A04194 | to support these branches of infinity? |
A04194 | was he found among theeves? |
A04194 | was hee found among theeues? |
A04194 | was it in respect of the Eternall Decree, altogether impossible for this dreadfull sentence to have beene forthwith put in execution? |
A04194 | was not Esau Iacobs brother, saith the Lord? |
A04194 | where was your God when these were not, some where, or no where? |
A04194 | whether they were truly something, or meerly nothing? |
A59814 | 13 ▪ How casual does all this appear to us? |
A59814 | And David said to Abishai, destroy him not; for who can stretch forth his hand against the Lord''s anointed, and be guiltless? |
A59814 | And can there possibly be a more lovely Idea and Representation of Power than this? |
A59814 | And can we think then, that an infinitely wise Being, should be as unconcerned for the World, as the Ostrich is for her Eggs? |
A59814 | And does not this suppose weakness and want of Power, to want any thing else? |
A59814 | And 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? |
A59814 | And he that formed the eye, shall he not see? |
A59814 | And he that teacheth man knowledg, shall not he know? |
A59814 | And if all these things can be wisely and justly done, how can the doing of any of these things be an Objection against Providence? |
A59814 | And is it not much more reasonable to suppose, that we mistake the Case; than to charge the Divine Providence with doing any thing hard or unjust? |
A59814 | And is the only Idea of a Happy Nature in the World, a reasonable Objection against Creating Goodness? |
A59814 | And thus the Scripture resolves the Sovereignty of God into Power: That none can stay his hand, or say unto him, what dost thou? |
A59814 | And to whom sware he, that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? |
A59814 | And what great things are attributed in Scripture to the Power of Prayer? |
A59814 | And what then? |
A59814 | And when they see all things happen thus evenly and regularly, will they then promise to believe a Providence? |
A59814 | And yet what does Trust in God signify, if we must not depend on him for those good things which we want, and desire, and trust him for? |
A59814 | And, Shall we receive good at the hands of God, and shall we not receive evil? |
A59814 | Are not our Wants, and his own Essential Goodness, a sufficient Motive for him to give? |
A59814 | Are not the Natural Notions we have of the Divine Justice, a sufficient reason to believe, that God never does any thing but what is just? |
A59814 | Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? |
A59814 | Are there any greater Perfections, than Knowledge, and Wisdom, and Understanding, and Liberty of Choice? |
A59814 | As for Children: What greater obligation than this could be laid on them to avoid the evil Examples, and to imitate the Vertues of their Parents? |
A59814 | Behold my son, which came forth of my bowels, seeketh my life; how much more now may this Benjamite do it? |
A59814 | But I would gladly know whence they have this Notion of Creating Goodness, that it must make no Creature which can make it self miserable? |
A59814 | But can they tell what kind of Uniformity and Stability of Providence it is, would please them? |
A59814 | But does not every man know the difference between the good of the End, and the good of the Means? |
A59814 | But the present Enquiry is only this, Whether this be Human Reason, the natural Reason of Human Minds? |
A59814 | But what consequence is there in this, that God ca n''t be Holy, nor his Providence Holy, because Men are wicked? |
A59814 | But what is it that God ca n''t do, who has all Nature at his command? |
A59814 | But will any one say, that this is to govern men like men? |
A59814 | But would any man think this a good Argument against the Holiness of a Prince and his Government, that he has many Wicked Subjects? |
A59814 | But yet the Question is not, What use the World did make of this? |
A59814 | But, What use they might have made of it? |
A59814 | By how many seeming Accidents and casual Events was Ioseph advanced to Pharoah''s Throne? |
A59814 | Can he who hates all Wickedness, contribute any thing to make Men more wicked than otherwise they would be? |
A59814 | Can they then tell me, what it is that ca n''t be? |
A59814 | Casu, inquis? |
A59814 | Did God then intend that there should be no different ranks and degrees of men in the world? |
A59814 | Did he harden him against believing Moses, and those Miracles which he wrought in the Name, and by the Power of the God of Israel? |
A59814 | Did not God make Men and Angels as perfect as their Ideas? |
A59814 | Did they take him, and by wicked hands crucify and slay him by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God? |
A59814 | Do not men intend to supply some real or imaginary want in all the Injuries they do? |
A59814 | Do they mean every one who does a wicked action; or every impenitent and incorrigible sinner? |
A59814 | Do we think it any diminution to any man''s goodness, that he will not give, unless he be asked? |
A59814 | Does any good man think himself bound, tho he know our wants, to supply them without our asking? |
A59814 | Does any thing more become Creatures? |
A59814 | Does government signify destroying the nature of those Creatures which are to be governed? |
A59814 | Does not God know our wants before we ask? |
A59814 | Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps? |
A59814 | For all these questions at last resolve themselves into this, How the Mind of man acts and determines it self? |
A59814 | For can a Holy God punish Sin with Sin? |
A59814 | For if Man be a meer Machine, who moves as he is moved, how can he deserve either Well or Ill? |
A59814 | For if it be the will of God that we should suffer such things, why should we be angry with the men who do them? |
A59814 | For 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? |
A59814 | For is it possible for Absolute Power to want? |
A59814 | For making men Rich or Poor, Honourable or Vile? |
A59814 | For must we believe, That God will do every thing for us, which we trust in him to do? |
A59814 | For sending Peace or War, Plenty or Famine? |
A59814 | For translating Kingdoms and Empires? |
A59814 | For what does St. Peter say was done by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God? |
A59814 | For what is wanting on God''s part to make Man as happy as he can be here? |
A59814 | For who hath known the mind of the Lord, or who hath been his Counsellor? |
A59814 | For 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? |
A59814 | For would you desire that every sin you commit should be immediately punished, without any time to repent, without any hope of Mercy? |
A59814 | Gird 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? |
A59814 | Has God any where promised to give us whatever we trust in him for? |
A59814 | Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days, and caused the day- spring to know his place? |
A59814 | Hast thou entred into the treasures of the snow? |
A59814 | Hath he smitten them, that is Israel, as he smote those that smote him? |
A59814 | Have they any such notion in their minds? |
A59814 | He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him and hath prospered? |
A59814 | He 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? |
A59814 | He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? |
A59814 | He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? |
A59814 | How contrary to all the Notions we have of God, and his kind and gracious Government of his Creatures? |
A59814 | How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord, for ever? |
A59814 | How many Complaints does the Psalmist make against his Enemies, those who were wrongfully his Enemies? |
A59814 | How passionately does he pray for Protection against his Enemies? |
A59814 | How say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings? |
A59814 | I 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? |
A59814 | If 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? |
A59814 | If then there be no fault to be found in the Idea of a Reasonable Creature, was there any defect in the Workmanship? |
A59814 | If we believe that infinite Wisdom and Goodness takes care of us, what need we know any more? |
A59814 | If we make him our Enemy, who can save us out of his hands? |
A59814 | In measure when it shooteth forth wilt thou debate with it? |
A59814 | Is any thing more casual than a Lot? |
A59814 | Is it possible there should be a happier temper of mind than this? |
A59814 | Is it that we observe such Events as we know not how to reconcile with the common Rules of Justice? |
A59814 | Is not the Idea of a Reasonable Being, and a Free Agent, the Idea of an Excellent and Happy Creature? |
A59814 | Is there any Happiness like the Happiness of a Reasonable Nature? |
A59814 | Is this the natural government of free Agents, to take away their liberty, and freedom of choice? |
A59814 | Job 31, 32,& c. Canst thou bind the sweet influences of the Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? |
A59814 | Mans goings are of the Lord, how then can a man understand his own ways? |
A59814 | May not God have very wise and just Reasons for lengthening some mens Lives, and for shortening others? |
A59814 | Must a Merchant confidently expect a safe and advantageous Voyage, if he trust in God for it? |
A59814 | Nay, how can the Providence of God do this, without making men Vertuous and Vicious too, by Necessity and Fate? |
A59814 | Nay, indeed, how can any man hope and trust in God, when he has no assurance that he shall obtain what he hopes for? |
A59814 | Nay, is there any thing that deserves the name of Happiness besides this? |
A59814 | Nay, when the Wisdom of Providence is principally seen in the government of Fortuitous Events? |
A59814 | Nay, would not every man say, That this is the most Perfect and Absolute Form of Government in the world? |
A59814 | Now in answer to this, let us consider in the first place, Whether these Objections do not prove too much? |
A59814 | Now what an ill state were Mankind in, did not a Wise and Merciful Hand Govern what we call Chance and Fortune? |
A59814 | Now what can be more just than this, for God to suffer the Devil to blind those men who will not see? |
A59814 | Now what did God harden Pharaoh in? |
A59814 | Or does he need to be informed by our Prayers, what we would have him do for us? |
A59814 | Or does he want to be intreated and importuned? |
A59814 | Or does the Nature and Reason of Providence infer any such thing? |
A59814 | Or if he ask fish, will he give him a serpent? |
A59814 | Or what farther evidence would they have desired, that it was God who spoke to them? |
A59814 | Or whether it be a self- moving Being, and determines it self from the Principles of its own Nature, and its own free Choice? |
A59814 | Should 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? |
A59814 | That is, Whether they do not equally destroy the Reasonableness of making any Prayers or Petitions to Men, as well as to God? |
A59814 | That is, does it prove any man to be mutable, to change only as a Wise and Immutable Rule requires him to change? |
A59814 | That the Rich and Prosperous shall always be Rich and Prosperous, and the Poor always Poor, and Beggars, and Slaves? |
A59814 | That there should be no distinction between Rich and Poor, High and Low, Princes and Subjects, the Honourable and the Vile? |
A59814 | The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity, but a wounded spirit who can bear? |
A59814 | Then, said I, Lord, how long? |
A59814 | This no man can promise himself, who does not trust in God; for how is Providence concerned for them who expect nothing from it? |
A59814 | Thou knowest my down- sitting, and my uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off? |
A59814 | Thus Abraham reasoned with God, and therein spake the sense of Mankind; Shall not the judge of all the earth do right? |
A59814 | Upon what little unexpected things do the Fortunes of Men, of Families, of whole Kingdoms turn? |
A59814 | Vnderstand ye brutish among the people, and ye fools when will ye be wise? |
A59814 | We 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? |
A59814 | Well then, who in the first place are these sinners whom they would have punished? |
A59814 | Well then: Would they have this rectified? |
A59814 | What Miseries could disturb Human life, were all men Just, and Honest, and Charitable, did they love one another as themselves? |
A59814 | What can be more accidental than this? |
A59814 | What can put Nature into such an universal disorder, but the same Divine Power which put it into order, and gave Laws to it? |
A59814 | What 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? |
A59814 | What dreadful Apprehensions would this give Mankind of God, were this World nothing else but a Scene of Trouble and Misery? |
A59814 | What encouragement would this be to Sinners to repent and reform? |
A59814 | What hopes could they reasonably conceive of Pardon and Forgiveness, had they no experience of God''s goodness and patience towards Sinners? |
A59814 | What 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? |
A59814 | What is it then they find fault with in God''s making Angels and Men? |
A59814 | What it is that they would be pleased with? |
A59814 | What man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? |
A59814 | What more likely way to gain the Favour of Princes and People, than a dextrous and skilful Application and Address? |
A59814 | What should supply mens wants, and increase Riches, but Wisdom and Understanding in Human affairs? |
A59814 | What 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? |
A59814 | Where are they? |
A59814 | Where is the way where light dwelleth? |
A59814 | Whether Preservation be a continued Creation? |
A59814 | Whether there was no other possible way to save sinners; or whether this were absolutely the best? |
A59814 | Which made the Wise man conclude, Mans goings are of the Lord, how then shall a man understand his own ways? |
A59814 | Whither shall I go from thy Spirit, or whither shall I flee from thy presence? |
A59814 | Who hath resisted his will, and prospered? |
A59814 | Who is this that darkneth counsel by words without knowledge? |
A59814 | Why should we revenge our Sufferings on them, when we suffer by the Will of God? |
A59814 | Why so great a part of the world to this day have never heard of Christ? |
A59814 | Will you call Senseless Matter, nay, will you call Beasts happy? |
A59814 | Would not a Thief much rather chuse to find a Treasure, than to take a Purse upon the Road? |
A59814 | Would they have all mens Fortunes equal? |
A59814 | Would they prove, that God did not make the World, because he made Angels and Men, some of whom have made themselves Devils? |
A59814 | Would they think God too kind to bad men, or too hard and severe to the good? |
A59814 | Would we desire any thing else, or can we wish for any thing better than what infinite Wisdom and Goodness can do for us? |
A59814 | and as for darkness, where is the plaee thereof? |
A59814 | and give them all the happiness which belonged to their Natures? |
A59814 | and how then do the Sins of men come to be an Argument against the Holiness of Providence? |
A59814 | and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendred it? |
A59814 | and whether we must submit to the Providence of God in such a Change, by what means soever such a Change is brought about? |
A59814 | and who hath begotten the drops of the dew? |
A59814 | and why then should we desire, why should we fear any longer? |
A59814 | and will not that God, who has given us our Lives, and our Bodies, give us what is absolutely necessary for their support? |
A59814 | are not your ways unequal? |
A59814 | but, How long the sinner deserves to be punished? |
A59814 | canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season, or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? |
A59814 | canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee? |
A59814 | canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, here we are? |
A59814 | declare if thou hast understanding, who hath laid the measure thereof, if thou knowest? |
A59814 | deeper than hell, what canst thou know? |
A59814 | does Nature teach them, that any thing can be without a Cause adequate to the Effect? |
A59814 | does this become God, to make a free Agent, and to govern him by necessity and force? |
A59814 | hath the rain a father? |
A59814 | have they any natural sensation that answers these words? |
A59814 | how long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? |
A59814 | how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me? |
A59814 | how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? |
A59814 | how many secret Plots are discovered, when ripe for execution? |
A59814 | how many wicked Designs prove abortive? |
A59814 | itanè verò? |
A59814 | knowest thou the ordinances of heaven, or canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth? |
A59814 | more honourable for God, or more secure for our selves? |
A59814 | or because so many men sin, and make themselves miserable, therefore God is not good in creating Man? |
A59814 | or did he intend that no poor men should be wise? |
A59814 | or hast thou known the treasures of the hail? |
A59814 | or whether they be two distinct and different Acts of Power, to Make, and to Preserve? |
A59814 | or who hath laid the corner stone thereof? |
A59814 | or who hath stretched the line upon it? |
A59814 | or would we have any thing which infinite Wisdom and Goodness does not think fit to give us? |
A59814 | out of whose womb came the ice? |
A59814 | quatuor tali jacti casu venereum efficiunt, num etiam centum venereos, si 400 talos ejeceris, casu futuros putas? |
A59814 | quidquam potest casu esse factum, quod omnes in se habeat numeros veritatis? |
A59814 | that any thing can be wisely made without a wise Cause? |
A59814 | that one contrary can produce the other? |
A59814 | that sensless, stupid Matter can produce Life, Sensation and Understanding? |
A59814 | that there should be no poor men as well as rich? |
A59814 | to 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? |
A59814 | where are thy wise men? |
A59814 | wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously? |
A59814 | whereupon are the foundations thereof fastned? |
A59814 | who knows how much evil bad men would do, had they no restraint? |
A59814 | who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth as if it had issued out of the womb? |
A59814 | who would have been contented to live in such a world, to converse only with the Images of Death, and with noisome Carkasses? |
A59814 | why he had not his Oracles and Prophets in other Nations? |
A59814 | why should we punish them? |
A59814 | why 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? |
A39659 | 1, 2, 3, 4. Who can but see the singer of God in these things? |
A39659 | 10, Hast not Thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? |
A39659 | 11,& c. take no care what becomes of their souls, so they can but provide for their bodies? |
A39659 | 19. and David? |
A39659 | 23. verified by clear and undeniable experience? |
A39659 | 35. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? |
A39659 | 3: Can two walk together except they be agreed? |
A39659 | 5. but as for man, yea the wisest among men, how little doth his understanding penetrate the works and designs of Providence? |
A39659 | 6. but that we should not ● ind our paths to sin? |
A39659 | 7. and doth not Providence confirm it? |
A39659 | 7. and what is our praising of God else, but our shewing forth that loving- kindness, which he sheweth us in his Providences? |
A39659 | A 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? |
A39659 | After 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? |
A39659 | Among the eminent mercies of thy life, Reader, how many of them have been meer surprizals to thee? |
A39659 | And after all this, how passionately do the Brethren beseech him to decline that journey? |

A39659 | and when Providence lifted him up again into a prosperous condition, what ostentation and vain glory did he discover? |
A39659 | and will he now do less for us, since we are reconciled and become his Children? |
A39659 | and will not the goodness of God be discouraged from following me, notwithstanding all my vile a ● ● ronts and abuses of it in former mercJes? |
A39659 | bestowed thousands of mercies upon us, when we had no title to Christ or any one promise? |
A39659 | but the bringing down of the objects of faith to the dijudication and test of spiritual sense? |
A39659 | can be give bread also? |
A39659 | can be provide flesh for his people? |
A39659 | can he provide flesh for his people? |
A39659 | can you think it an indifferent thing, into what part of the World the womb of Nature had cast you out? |
A39659 | canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? |
A39659 | deeper than Hell; what canst thou know? |
A39659 | do ye not yet understand, neither remember? |
A39659 | hear the young Ravens, when they cry for meat? |
A39659 | how shall I answer these engagements? |
A39659 | or how knowest thou, O Man, whether thou shalt save thy Wife? |
A39659 | or the son of man, that thou makest account of him? |
A39659 | provided for us, when we owned him not in any of his mercies? |
A39659 | q. d. Were yo never under any strait for bread before now? |
A39659 | that thou shouldst magnifJe him, and set thine heart upon him? |
A39659 | these thing you promised yourselves: but where did God promise you prosperity, and the continuance of those com ● ortable things to you? |
A39659 | who can shew forth all his praise? |
A39659 | who can utter the mighty works of the Lord? |
A39659 | yea, 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?) |
A30249 | 11. speaking of those under the New Testament, that some were siok, and some did sleep, and that they were judged of the Lord? |
A30249 | 13, 14. Who would not think that the author were some Papist, or Socinians? |
A30249 | 17. how grosly is it applyed unto the beleevers of the Gospel only? |
A30249 | 18. that which is highly esteemed before men, is abomination before God? |
A30249 | 19. Who can understand his errours? |
A30249 | 19. and 119. who can deny, that they belong to the godly now, as well as heretofore? |
A30249 | 20. where he was preaching night and day with great affections, and desired no mans gold or silver? |
A30249 | 20? |
A30249 | 6. he calleth Faith a work, because the Jewes asked, What should they do? |
A30249 | 7. 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? |
A30249 | 9. and in other places, how often doth God press them with this love of his, in giving them those commandments? |
A30249 | Again under the New Testament, is there not the sin against the holy Ghost for which no pardon is promised? |
A30249 | Again, a Beleever may look to the reward, and yet have a spirit of love; how much rather look to the command of God? |
A30249 | Alas, what patience, what repentance, what pains and religious duties can procure thee peace with God? |
A30249 | All those arguments will hold as strongly against faith; for, Are there not many beleevers for a season? |
A30249 | And are there not many such Popish spirits, that know their superstitions and falshoods, yet, because of long custome, will not leave them? |
A30249 | And besides, if the godly were then in Christ, doth it not necessarily follow by his principles, that God must see no sinne in them? |
A30249 | And here it''s disputed, Whether a meere Heathen can doe any work morally good? |
A30249 | And 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? |
A30249 | And herein we may demand of the Antinomian, Whether the law of Nature doe bind a beleever, or no? |
A30249 | And how absurd is that doctrine, Si bona opera sunt magis bona, quàm mala opera mala, fortiùs merentur vitam aeternam? |
A30249 | And if you say, Why should these Commandments reach to them? |
A30249 | And is not all this with Popery? |
A30249 | And may not this be affirmed of the Law, as well as the Gospel? |
A30249 | And shall no mercy be esteemed, but what is the Gospel? |
A30249 | And so we may answer that demand, Whether there was any revelation unto Adam of a Christ? |
A30249 | And the Apostle maketh the objection following[ What then, shall we sin, because we are not under the Law?] |
A30249 | And 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? |
A30249 | And 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? |
A30249 | And what a contradiction also to call it hell- hatched, when yet he holdeth there is no hell? |
A30249 | And what thou dost, being enabled by grace, is that perfect? |
A30249 | And, certainly, if the Apostle argued that Christ died in vain, if workes were joyned to him; how much more if he be totally excluded? |
A30249 | And, first of all, it may be demanded, To what purpose is this discourse about the Law given by Moses? |
A30249 | And, if Christ and the Law could be under the Old Testament, why not under the New? |
A30249 | And, making this doubt to himself, How shall they doe for a Priest? |
A30249 | Are riches, subsistence, equall to Christ? |
A30249 | Are there not famines, pestilence, and the bloudy warre upon men under the Gospel? |
A30249 | Are there not many Polititians have too much of this poison in their hearts? |
A30249 | Are there not many, not only unchristian, but also unnaturall actions? |
A30249 | Are we Jews? |
A30249 | As for that other Question, Whether repentance be part of the image of God? |
A30249 | Because 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? |
A30249 | But 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? |
A30249 | But how absurd and contradictory to the Author himself is this assertion? |
A30249 | But how are they inexcusable, if they could not glorifie God by nature, as they ought? |
A30249 | But how can this be proved, that their confirmation came from Christ, and not from God, as a plentifull rewarder of their continued obedience? |
A30249 | But how can this be without faith through Christ? |
A30249 | But how well doth Austin in the same place stigmatize him? |
A30249 | But in the next place, grant that interpretation, of sanctification for renovation, how doth this prove that the Law is not used instrumentally? |
A30249 | But is not this to forget Christ our head, who is made neerer to us then Angels are? |
A30249 | But still here is the Question, Why did Peter set himself to repent and not Judas? |
A30249 | But that is a meere evasion; for why should God fore- tell this, but because it was a duty to be done? |
A30249 | But the Question is, Whether we can doe this of our selves, with grace? |
A30249 | But then it may be demanded, To which is repentance reduced? |
A30249 | But what Logician doth not see a great deale more foisted into the Conclusion, then was in the Premises? |
A30249 | But 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? |
A30249 | But what man of reason doth not see that God speaks there of the Church of the Iews, as appeareth through the whole Chapter? |
A30249 | But what need I runne further in perfection, seeing it comanded all perfection? |
A30249 | But who doth not see how uncertaine Reason is in comparison of Faith? |
A30249 | But, doe not the Papists the same thing? |
A30249 | By our own reason and will? |
A30249 | By what law? |
A30249 | By what law? |
A30249 | By what law? |
A30249 | Can a man dispose himself to have life? |
A30249 | Can that which would damne, save? |
A30249 | Can that which would work woe in thee, comfort thee? |
A30249 | Can the boy ever learn to write well, unlesse an exact Copy be laid before him? |
A30249 | Can thy graces be a Christ? |
A30249 | Christs blood) as well as we under the Gospel? |
A30249 | Compare this of Adams with that of Abraham, what a vast difference? |
A30249 | Consider what we were, and what we are, how holy once, how unholy now: and here who can but take up bitter mourning? |
A30249 | Cui bono? |
A30249 | Did not David preferre the Word of God above gold and honey? |
A30249 | Did not his heart faint, and yern within him? |
A30249 | Did the Iews first seek God, or God them? |
A30249 | Did the lesse, or more revelation of free Justification make God justifie the lesse freely? |
A30249 | Did they first make themselves friends with God? |
A30249 | Do not all our Protestant authours maintain this truth, as that which discerneth us from Heathens, Jewes, Papists, and others in the world? |
A30249 | Do not godly Ministers, to work people into an hatred of sin, tell them the price of blood is in every sin committed? |
A30249 | Do we not in that place finde a plain contradiction of this doctrine? |
A30249 | Do we then make void the Law through faith? |
A30249 | Do we then make void the Law? |
A30249 | Do we then make void the Law? |
A30249 | Doe they not make all penall things compensative? |
A30249 | Dost not thou the like, when thou joynest thy love and grace with Christs obedience? |
A30249 | Dost thou thank God for providing clothes for thy body, food for thy belly, an house for habitation? |
A30249 | Doth Paul pervert the scope of Moses? |
A30249 | Doth not David, speaking of the Law, call it pure, and cleane, that is true, having no falshood in it? |
A30249 | Doth not Nature condemne lying, couzening in your trades, lusts, and uncleannesse? |
A30249 | Doth not the Apostle reprove the Corinthians for desiring gifts, rather then graces; and abilities of parts, rather then holinesse? |
A30249 | Doth that belong to us? |
A30249 | For was not that place which they so much urge[ God seeth not iniquity in Jacob] spoken of the Church in the Old Testament? |
A30249 | For, If I should aske, Who is the father of such a man? |
A30249 | For, do not all sound and godly Ministers hold forth this Christ, this righteousnesse, this way of justification? |
A30249 | For, how can an enemy to Christ, close with Christ? |
A30249 | For, how necessary is it to have this Law promulged, if it were possible, as terribly in our congregations, as it was on Mount Sinai? |
A30249 | Hast thou any strength to doe it? |
A30249 | Hast thou faith? |
A30249 | Hast thou not much of an Heathen in thee? |
A30249 | Hath not Christ abolished the Law? |
A30249 | Have not beleevers now, crookednesse, hypocrisie, luke- warmnesse? |
A30249 | Have not many Heathens been faithfull and just in their dealings? |
A30249 | Here may be one Question made upon these things, and that is, Why God appointed such various and different administrations? |
A30249 | How 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? |
A30249 | How apt are the holiest to be proud and secure, as David, and Peter? |
A30249 | How can God upbraid or reprove men for their transgressions, if they could doe no other wayes? |
A30249 | How carnall will my best heavenly- mindednesse be, if so be that I go to this Rule? |
A30249 | How could the Jewes love God, or pray unto him acceptably, if they had not faith in him? |
A30249 | How dangerous an errour it is, to deny the Law: for, is it good? |
A30249 | How destitute and naked was thy condition? |
A30249 | How do the orthodox Writers prove Images unlawfull? |
A30249 | How doth he witnesse this by crying out, With desire I have desired to drink of this cup? |
A30249 | How foolish then were David and Manasses, in suing out pardon for their blood- guiltiness, if there were no such thing allowed by God? |
A30249 | How glorious must Adams estate be, when his Understanding was made thus perfect? |
A30249 | How gross is this errour? |
A30249 | How happy are all the irrationall creatures in their estate above us, if not repaired by Christ? |
A30249 | How is every bird in the aire, and beast in the field in a better naturall condition then they are? |
A30249 | How is the humble heart soon made proud? |
A30249 | How many Trades- men are there that need not a Paul? |
A30249 | How many late books and practises have been for that opinion? |
A30249 | How many live in such sins that the law of Nature condemneth? |
A30249 | How many times do they need that Christ should draw them, and also that the Law should draw them? |
A30249 | How may the sick say, There I finde health? |
A30249 | How often doth God tell them, that the good he did to them, was for his own names sake, and not any thing in them? |
A30249 | How proud will be my best humility? |
A30249 | How sacred are the laws of a Common- wealth, which yet are made by men? |
A30249 | How short is this of that which God commands? |
A30249 | How uncharitably and falsly many men charge it generally upon our godly Ministers, that they are nothing but Justitiaries, and Legall Preachers? |
A30249 | How uncomfortable will it be when thou dyest, to commit thy soule to that grace, which thou hast disputed against? |
A30249 | How would this subdue all those proud, envious, censorious, and inimicitious carriages to one another? |
A30249 | I 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? |
A30249 | I find this Question a very troublesome one, Whether the Gospel be absolute or no? |
A30249 | I reply what and if they could bring no sacrifice, could they not therefore have pardon? |
A30249 | If Christ be the end of the Law, how is he contrary to it? |
A30249 | If God be so angry with those that abuse naturall light, how much rather then with such, who also abuse Gospel light? |
A30249 | If God come to reckon with beleevers for sinne, either he must aske something of them, or not; If not, why are they troubled? |
A30249 | If a creditor require his debt of a bankrupt, who hath prodigally spent all, and made himself unable to pay, what unrighteousnesse is this? |
A30249 | If all a mans glory were for himselfe, would not every affliction rather break him, saying, This is the fruit of my sinne? |
A30249 | If so, is not Davids sin a sin, because it is against such and such a Commandement? |
A30249 | If the Law, and the commands thereof be impossible, to what purpose then doth he command them? |
A30249 | If therefore the Law had been a Covenant of works, how could such an agreement come betweene them? |
A30249 | If they were, how came they by it? |
A30249 | If you ask why works do imply boasting, though we be enabled thereunto by the grace of God? |
A30249 | If you aske, How then is not the Gospel a Covenant of workes? |
A30249 | If you have not meat or drink but by God, shall you have pardon of sin without him? |
A30249 | If you say, May not the sufferings of Christ make us to repent of sin, and all the love he shewed therein? |
A30249 | If you say, Why then doth the Apostle argue against the works of the Morall Law? |
A30249 | Ignorant people: how few have any knowledge of God? |
A30249 | In State and Civil matters, in Church matters, what a revengefull spirit breatheth in men? |
A30249 | Indeed, it''s made a question, Whether, if Adam had continued, be should have been translated into heaven, or confirmed onely in Paradise? |
A30249 | Is Christ the end of the Law for righteousness? |
A30249 | Is it a duty of the Law, or a duty of the Gospel? |
A30249 | Is it any more then if the Sun should shine, or a candle be held out to a blind man? |
A30249 | Is it not said, that they shall look upon him whom they have pierced, and mourn for their sins? |
A30249 | Is not Moses, with his Ministery, now at an end? |
A30249 | Is not all this strange? |
A30249 | Is not gold good, because you can not eat it, and feed on it, as you do on meat? |
A30249 | Is not this as ridiculous to threaten them, as that of Xerxes, who menaced the sea? |
A30249 | Is not this( as I told you) with Chrysostome, to stand upon a spring rising higher and higher? |
A30249 | Is not this, with the Papists, to make the Gospel a new Law? |
A30249 | Is that Law against the promises? |
A30249 | Is there not a faith that indureth but for a while? |
A30249 | Is there not also a generation of men, who do by doctrine deny the fourth Commandement? |
A30249 | It is also demanded, who are meant b by those of old, to what age that doth extend? |
A30249 | It is therefore worth the inquiry, Whether the ten Commandments, as given by Moses, do belong to us Christians, or no? |
A30249 | It makes not ashamed: but, if it were an hope in our selves, how often should we be confounded? |
A30249 | May not then a man as soon know the sincerity of his heart, as the truth of his faith? |
A30249 | May not these things be heard in our Sermons daily? |
A30249 | May we not also say, she doctrine of the Gospel that is written in paper, and what can that do? |
A30249 | Might not the Arminian say, How can these two things stand together? |
A30249 | Must it not therefore be of the Gospel? |
A30249 | Must not the meaning then be, to love, and delight in God, and to trust in him? |
A30249 | Neither do thou please thy self in that question, What is heresie? |
A30249 | Not indeed but that Christs bloud is sufficient to take away the guilt of it? |
A30249 | Now doth the Law, strictly taken, receive any humbling& debasing of themselves? |
A30249 | Now herein was the great mistake of the Jews, they gloried and boasted of the Law, but how? |
A30249 | Now how are these Questions decided, but thus? |
A30249 | Now how can this ever be made good? |
A30249 | Now how great is this perfection? |
A30249 | Now if a man may not care for Moses teaching, need he care for Nature teaching? |
A30249 | Now if it be thus of an habit, how much more of originall sin, which is the depravation of the nature? |
A30249 | Now if this be so, then how shall that be true, that the heaven must contain Christ till he come? |
A30249 | Now it''s a great dispute, Whether the command of repentance belong unto the Gospel, or no? |
A30249 | Now the Question is, Whether this obligation was temporary or perpetuall? |
A30249 | Now the Scripture, how full is it to the contrary? |
A30249 | Now then, when David commits adultery, when Peter denyeth Christ, are not these sins in them? |
A30249 | Now 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? |
A30249 | Now what a cordiall may this be to the broken heart, exercised with its sinnes? |
A30249 | Now what a wide doore will here be open to overthrow the Old- Testament? |
A30249 | Now who doth not see what a damnable and dangerous position this would be? |
A30249 | Now who seeth not how weak and absurd these arguments are? |
A30249 | Now, Doe men gather grapes of thornes, or figs of thistles? |
A30249 | Now, doth not the Gospel, when it bids a man beleeve, speak as impossible a thing to a mans power? |
A30249 | Now, how can a man be bold by any thing that is his? |
A30249 | Now, if our parents and ancestors were as full a cause as Adam was, why should the accusation be still laid upon him? |
A30249 | Now, unlesse this were a covenant of grace, how could God be their God, who were sinners? |
A30249 | Now, who can reconcile these contradictions? |
A30249 | Oh, what an hell may thy heart be, when thy outward man is not defiled? |
A30249 | Or, Whether faith and repentance are now parts of that image? |
A30249 | Or, Whether grace onely enable us to doe it? |
A30249 | Or, Whether it is onely a meere matter of faith that we are thus polluted? |
A30249 | Presse them to obey the Law, and yet reprove them for desiring to be under it? |
A30249 | Quid obest clavis lignea, quando nihil aliud quaerimus, nisi patere clausum? |
A30249 | Received ye the Spirit by the works of the Law; or by the hearing of faith? |
A30249 | Rulers are not a terrour to good works, but to evil: Wouldst thou not be afraid of them? |
A30249 | Shall not uncircumcision, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 if it fullfill the Law? |
A30249 | Shall we lament, because we are banished from houses and habitations, because we have lost our estates, and comforts? |
A30249 | Sinnes 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? |
A30249 | Strait is the way that leadeth to life: What is this, but the work of grace and godlinesse? |
A30249 | That 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? |
A30249 | The Author urgeth also that place, While we were enemies, we were reconciled to God: but doth not this hold true of the Iews? |
A30249 | The 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? |
A30249 | The fifth Question is, Whether originall sin can be found out by the meere light of Nature? |
A30249 | The 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? |
A30249 | The last Question is, How they declare this Law written in their hearts? |
A30249 | The law bids thee love God with all thine heart and soul; doth not this bid thee goe to Christ? |
A30249 | The next Question is, How this Law is said to be written in their hearts? |
A30249 | The next Question is, Whether we may be now by Christ said to be more righteous then Adam? |
A30249 | The objection then is this,( propounded by way of interrogation, to affect the more,) Do we make voyd the Law? |
A30249 | The 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? |
A30249 | The second question is, Whether Christ did intervene in his help to Adam, so that he needed Christ in that state? |
A30249 | The third Question concerning this naturall light is, Whether it be sufficient for salvation? |
A30249 | Therefore consider, thou prophane man, are not thy oaths, are not thy lusts against Gods Law? |
A30249 | Think 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? |
A30249 | This later I only presse: Therefore, What is it to be justified? |
A30249 | This should be a caution against multitude of Church precepts: how did Austin complain of it, and Gerson in his time? |
A30249 | Those 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? |
A30249 | Thou didst drink iniquity like water; doest thou now, as the Hart, pant after the water- brooks? |
A30249 | Thus 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? |
A30249 | To what purpose are exhortations and admonitions? |
A30249 | Was then eternall life and happinesse a meere gift of God to Adam for his obedience and love? |
A30249 | We are not said to be blind, or lame, but dead in sin: now did Lazarus prepare himself to rise? |
A30249 | We must therefore say to these places, as Moses did to the two Israelites fighting, Why fall you out, seeing you are brethren? |
A30249 | What a non sequitur is here? |
A30249 | What a sad thing is it, to be all the day and yeare long damning our soules? |
A30249 | What a strange reason is this? |
A30249 | What 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? |
A30249 | What a weak reason is this? |
A30249 | What ado is here for the troubled soul to have any good thoughts of God, to have any faith in him as reconciled? |
A30249 | What advantage then hast thou, if thou cryest down Saints, and then makest thy self one in a Popish way? |
A30249 | What an horrid falshood is it to call the doctrine of the immortall soul an hell- hatched doctrine? |
A30249 | What can be more spirituall? |
A30249 | What can satisfie thy soul, if this will not do? |
A30249 | What comfort were this? |
A30249 | What doth the Apostle use contradictions in the same Chapter? |
A30249 | What else was the meaning of Domitianus Calderinus, when, speaking of going to Masse, he said, Eamus ad communem errorem? |
A30249 | What had it been for a Jew to pray to God, if Christ had not been in that prayer? |
A30249 | What hast thou thou hast not received? |
A30249 | What hath made the idolatry of the Church of Rome so like Paganish and Ethnicall idolatry? |
A30249 | What is Regeneration, but the writing of the Morall Law in thy heart? |
A30249 | What is meant by the tree of knowledge of good and evill? |

A54843 | Nay hath not Christ commanded all men to take up his Cross, and to bear That after him? |
A54843 | Nay shall we follow Christ no otherwise, than as the Stoicks did Zeno, or the Academicks, Plato? |
A54843 | Nay why dost thou pride it in thy power of being skilful to destroy, either the Livelyhoods or the Lives of a world of men? |
A54843 | No, let us rather bespeak our Tempter, as Ioseph did his kind Mistress, How can we do so great a wickedness? |
A54843 | Nor may the* Clay say to the Potter, Why hast Thou made, or unmade me? |
A54843 | Not to wish it were their own, much less to seek it, much less yet to seize upon it? |
A54843 | Nothing but Doatage and Forgetfulness, wherewith to make an Oblation to him? |
A54843 | Now can we think that St. Peter did not teach the same Doctrin with Paul and Silas? |
A54843 | Now if Christ was His Oracle who only liv''d under the Law, How much more must he be ours, who were born and bred under the Gospel? |
A54843 | Now if Prosperity is so dangerous, even when God Himself gives it, how great a Curse must it be, when the Gift of Satan? |
A54843 | Now to conquer a world of Temporal Enemies, is more than any one man could yet Attain to; How much less can any conquer a world of Sin? |
A54843 | Now what Corner is there in Christendom, which does not live out of Charity with one sort or other of Christian People? |
A54843 | Now what is the Reason of all These Woes, but that he increaseth what is not His? |
A54843 | Now what says The Mahomedan, within himself, and to others on this occasion? |
A54843 | Or are their Souls so wholly drown''d and swallow''d up in Sensualities, as that they have not any leisure wherein to consider their latter End? |
A54843 | Or can we fly from Him that''s every where? |
A54843 | Or did he inherit it by Nature? |
A54843 | Or did he require at other men a great deal more than there was need? |
A54843 | Or do we but talk of these things in civility to the men amongst whom we live? |
A54843 | Or does any man take pleasure in supporting both the Burden and Yoke of Christ? |
A54843 | Or if This is so sufficient, that nothing more than this is needful, what Necessity is there of preaching, or of learning any thing else? |
A54843 | Or if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? |
A54843 | Or is he Free, and open- handed? |
A54843 | Or let us expostulate with our selves, as Moses did with the People Israel, Do we thus requite the Lord, O foolish People, and unwise? |
A54843 | Or must we cut off our feet and cast them from us, that we may walk so much the better in the narrow way of the Commandments? |
A54843 | Or say with Eliphaz unjustly accusing Iob, How doth God know? |
A54843 | Or shall a man of the most depraved and paved Palate, be allow''d to argue well from his own Experience, that Salt it self has no Savour? |
A54843 | Or was it so made over to him, as Canaan by God to the People Israel? |
A54843 | Or what Iustice can it be, that any Rational Agent should be accomptable for the Things he could never help? |
A54843 | Or who will labour to keep a thing, which he verily thinks he can never lose? |
A54843 | Or why did God himself say, Thou shalt not steal, if a man can have nothing, but what God gives him? |
A54843 | Or wilt thou not rather bethink thy self, with the Royal Psal mist, Quid Retribuam? |
A54843 | Out of which Hiding- hole when he was drawn, as out of a Dungeon into a Throne, how did he plead against Himself his Inability to ascend it? |
A54843 | Poor Boôtes will needs be asking,( so low and humble is his Ambition,) what He shall do to maintain a Teem? |
A54843 | Quae unquam brevior et efficacior Doctrinâ tuâ Iesu bone? |
A54843 | Quid dulcius quàm ipsum amare? |
A54843 | Quid facilius quàm Deo credere? |
A54843 | Quid mihi voluptatem nominas? |
A54843 | Shall I be guilty of being safe, when''t is disloyalty to prosper? |
A54843 | Shall I be seeking Great Things, when to be Great, is a Dishonour? |
A54843 | Shall any Thing be call''d grievous, which does evidently tend to thy greatest Good? |
A54843 | Shall not God, without offence, dispose of things as He pleaseth? |
A54843 | Shall sore Eyes object against the soundest, that of All noxious things, Light it self is the most hurtful? |
A54843 | Shall such a man as I Baruch, and in such a Season as This, be seeking any thing for myself? |
A54843 | Shall we be such mad Disciples, as to expect, or but desire, to fare any better than our Master? |
A54843 | Shall we infer that Those Turks are the special Favorites of Heaven? |
A54843 | Shall we kick at him like Iesurun, and quite forget the Rock out of which we were hewn? |
A54843 | Shall we now joyn in consort with all those Infidels, and aver, that though Christ was a great Prophet indeed, yet Mahomed was a Greater? |
A54843 | Shall we serve our Good Master from the same base Principle, from which the very worst Servants will serve an ill one? |
A54843 | Shall we spend on God''s Enemies the Spring and April of our Lives, when our Memories and our Wits are fresh as Rose- buds? |
A54843 | Should not this suffice to Awe them, that such there are for ought they know? |
A54843 | So next and immediately under God, the most susceptive of Abuses are His Vicegerents? |
A54843 | That God of Heaven, on whom he can not think for sleeping, or That white and red Earth, for his thinking upon which he can seldom sleep? |
A54843 | That God, in love to their Alchoran, has signally favour''d them with the greatest and fairest Quarters of the World? |
A54843 | That being buffetted, He should bless? |
A54843 | That being neglected, He should court us? |
A54843 | That being repulsed, He should covet us? |
A54843 | That is, such a Faith as a man may* live by? |
A54843 | That no good Thing did inhabit in him, and that he was brought into Captivity to the Law of Sin which was in his Members? |
A54843 | That the Good he would, he did not; But the evil which he would not, That he did, whereby he sinn''d against God and his Conscience too? |
A54843 | The Heathen Cato in Lucan was much more generous, in his Sidera quis Mundúmq, velit spectare cadentem, Expers Ipse Metûs? |
A54843 | Then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided? |
A54843 | They will be otherways employ''d, than in contriving how to stand in the Day of wrath, or in studying what to do, that they may be sav''d? |
A54843 | This, What must we do that we may be damn''d? |
A54843 | Those for France against Spain, and These for Spain against France? |
A54843 | Thus it was used by our Saviour, when Peter cryed as he was sinking,[ Lord save me,] O thou of little Faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? |
A54843 | To allow them the benefit of his Rod, were to deal with them as Sons; which why should he do, whilst they only deal with him as rebellious Servants? |
A54843 | To be a Friend of Publicans and Sinners in the same ill Sense, in which his* Enemies spake him to be so? |
A54843 | To have Wealth bestow''d on us by our Complyance with the Tempter, and taken from us by other men''s? |
A54843 | Tush, say they, how shall God see? |
A54843 | What Disaffections are there in Swisserland, between the Wealthy sort of Protestants, and Warlike Papists? |
A54843 | What hast Thou to do with Meat, which does but serve to increase thy hunger? |
A54843 | What if some did not believe? |
A54843 | What is that we call The Gospel? |
A54843 | What is the Sun more averse to, than either going back, or standing still? |
A54843 | What is the certain d Diagnostick whereby to judge without Sin of our selves, and others? |
A54843 | What is this that he saith then, let us have grace? |
A54843 | What more worthy of our Contempt, than what is so undervalued by Him that made it, as by Him to be often left in the Devil''s Power and Disposal? |
A54843 | What must I do, that I may be saved? |
A54843 | What shall I do whereby to work out mine own Salvation, and yet for all that to serve my God without fear all the days of my life? |
A54843 | What shall I render unto the Lord for all his Benefits and Blessings bestow''d upon me? |
A54843 | What shall we do whereby to anticipate our Destruction, and to avert the sad effects of the fatal Axe, which now is laid to the Root of the Tree? |
A54843 | What then remain''d to this inquisitive Iew, but that the Law should be his Schoolmaster to bring him unto Christ? |
A54843 | What wilt thou do in such a Case? |
A54843 | Where shall we meet with a man of Youth, who joyns his Heart unto his Head; and asks about the great Business for which he came into the World? |
A54843 | Which if we unravel into Particulars, what a lovely Rank of Graces may we observe to march forth? |
A54843 | Which is the way to escape a Hell? |
A54843 | Why are they happy who deal treacherously? |
A54843 | Why does the wicked devour the man who is more righteous than He? |
A54843 | Why dost thou glory in thy ability of blasting thine Enemy with a Lye, or of bearing False witness against thy Neighbour? |
A54843 | Why has the Devil so great a Power upon Earth? |
A54843 | Why should I cast away my kindness in Chastising you any longer, when ye still grow the worse by all that is done to make you better? |
A54843 | Why should a Christian affect Dominion, when* Atilius an Heathen made choice to leave it? |
A54843 | Why should ye be smitten any more? |
A54843 | Why then should we be going such a long way about, whilst behold in the Scriptures so much a neerer way home? |
A54843 | Why then should we be seeking Greater Things for our selves than will do us Good? |
A54843 | Will he accept of our Service( think ye) when we do make him our shelter, but not our choice? |
A54843 | Wilt thou grumble at thy Physician, for being severely Faithful to thee, in using the means of thy Recovery? |
A54843 | Wilt thou not do as much for Christ, as David''s Soldiers did for Him? |
A54843 | Wilt thou repine at That Deliverance, in case the violence of the Twitch shall happen to cost thee a little pain? |
A54843 | Yea but for Danger, Destruction, and Death it self, how should we come by our Immortality? |
A54843 | [ Good Master, what shall I do, that I may Inherit Eternal Life?] |
A54843 | a Cloak for Knavery, and Sedition, and Violation of Oaths? |
A54843 | a Cloak of Maliciousness and Hypocrisie, to be put off and on as occasion serves? |
A54843 | a Cloak to cover Irreligion? |
A54843 | a kind of 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, or a meer Plank after a shipwrack? |
A54843 | a shameful thing, to live at Ease? |
A54843 | all our Punishments inflicted upon Another man''s Shoulders? |
A54843 | and again how do the Germans pay them back with Detestation? |
A54843 | and all for fear, left whilst he was preaching unto others, He himself might be a* Castaway? |
A54843 | and are we undaunted only at Him who can kill the Soul? |
A54843 | and as well of our present, as future state? |
A54843 | and at last when we are Wither''d, obtrude our selves upon our Maker? |
A54843 | and been even split upon the Rock of their own Salvation? |
A54843 | and commonly the most with their nearest Neighbours, whom Christians should love as they do Themselves? |
A54843 | and have no more in their Possession than can be properly call''d Theirs? |
A54843 | and how do they all detest the Protestants who are of Piemont, and Saluzzo? |
A54843 | and how sadly did they make an Example of him? |
A54843 | and how was he made a like Example? |
A54843 | and indispensable Necessity of our obedience unto the end? |
A54843 | and is not That a Grievous Precept unto Them who forsake and detest their Friends? |
A54843 | and is not That a Grievous Precept, to such as live upon Plunder, or Defraudation? |
A54843 | and is not That a Grievous Precept, to such as love to lay it heavily upon other mens Shoulders? |
A54843 | and is not solicitous what to do, that he may be sav''d? |
A54843 | and is therefore fit for nothing but to be cast unto the Dunghill? |
A54843 | and little less than a Sin, to live? |
A54843 | and most unworthily affronted, he should intreat? |
A54843 | and on what Condition? |
A54843 | and repent in such a manner, as to bring forth fruits meet for Repentance? |
A54843 | and shall we his Darlings be so averse? |
A54843 | and so confute what is said by our blessed Saviour in the Sixteenth of St. Luke? |
A54843 | and so that the Gospel should be intended, not for a Rule, but a Dispensation? |
A54843 | and that it does work by such a Love, as does bring forth obedience to the Commandments of Christ? |
A54843 | and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of Hosts? |
A54843 | and that we must not be Righteous overmuch? |
A54843 | and that we need not be better than other men, of whose Salvation we suppose it is not Charity for us to doubt? |
A54843 | and the Calvinists Both? |
A54843 | and the Papalins Them? |
A54843 | and the rather adventur''d to be evil, because of our knowledge that God is good? |
A54843 | and this at a time whilst we are told, that as our Iourney is long, so our Time is little, and yet Eternity depends on the usage of it? |
A54843 | and to be sure I am a Member, not only of his Visible, but of his Mystical Body? |
A54843 | and to dispose of all they had, according to his own Lust? |
A54843 | and to expose her stark naked, to the derision of her Enemies on every side? |
A54843 | and to forbear the least evil which may possibly lead unto the greatest? |
A54843 | and to know by some Token which will not fail me, whether the Good which I do is well enough done? |
A54843 | and to look clearly through the Veil, which interposed as a Skreen''twixt It and Them? |
A54843 | and to shift clear Themselves, how have they bribed the Bashaes, to put their Master upon Germany? |
A54843 | and what Antipodes unto each other are these Next Neighbours? |
A54843 | and what a Pique have All Three, at the most sober and the most moderate of All the Protestants upon Earth in The Church of England? |
A54843 | and what shall we drink? |
A54843 | and what so Great Kingdom, as the Kingdom of God, to the seeking of which our Lord excites us? |
A54843 | and when nothing is forbidden, but what''t will mischief us to injoy? |
A54843 | and when our Service will be accepted? |
A54843 | and wherein especially does It consist? |
A54843 | and wherewithal shall we be cloath''d? |
A54843 | as much as we can sacrifice to all our Senses? |
A54843 | as whether he hath made his Election sure? |
A54843 | but for Injuries, and Pains, where were our Fortitude, and Patience? |
A54843 | but is undutiful and false to his Publick Parent? |
A54843 | by how many Rights and Titles, may He pretend to our obedience when he commands us? |
A54843 | can he judge through the dark Cloud? |
A54843 | else what means the Causal For, by which the second Clause is proved to give a reason of the first? |
A54843 | even to pluck out our right Eye, rather than suffer it to pollute us? |
A54843 | for can any Thing be easier, than to believe without doubting that Iesus is the Christ? |
A54843 | for how little Christian Faith, how much faithlesness, and falsness, and praevarication should we discover? |
A54843 | freely giving us the Liberty, to choose as much as will do us good? |
A54843 | goes it to Egypt? |
A54843 | had it the happiness to be taken, as well into the Hearts, as the Ears of men? |

A54843 | how did he bring it into Subjection? |
A54843 | how did he preach up Christ Crucified, for which he was Crucified with his Head downwards? |
A54843 | how did he strive for the Mastery? |
A54843 | how exactly should we be dutiful to this our Master, if we would only do for him, as we would that our Servants should do for us? |
A54843 | how much( or rather how little,) shall he find of such fighting and conquering Faith upon the Earth? |
A54843 | how shall we be saved without Repentance, or repent without Amendment, or amend no more than will serve our turn? |
A54843 | how shall we put the evil Day afar off? |
A54843 | how terrible will it be at the Time of Payment? |
A54843 | how triumphant over Himself, and his former Cowardize? |
A54843 | if I be a Master, where is my Fear? |
A54843 | if by the Telescope of Faith,( as''t is the Evidence of Things not seen,) they had not* seen Him who is Invisible? |
A54843 | if they had not been enabl''d to spy Reward † afar off? |
A54843 | if they had not had an Eye upon their particular Resurrections? |

A54843 | leads it to Heaven? |
A54843 | made so many long Discourses( though on occasion of divers Texts) touching the Equity and the Law of our Saviour''s Gospel? |
A54843 | most inhumanly to deprive her of all her Ornaments and Jewels? |
A54843 | no not long enough to inquire, what they must do to be saved from them? |
A54843 | nor any thing else that is season''d with it? |
A54843 | nor as an ordinary Ruler, what he should do that he might climb to the highest Honour upon Earth? |
A54843 | nor as an ordinary Worldling or man of Wealth, what he should do that he might purchase the greatest Treasure of Gold and Silver? |
A54843 | nor yet as a Rich man, How shall I compass the greatest wealth? |
A54843 | not only all the Sins that are, but all that shall be? |
A54843 | not to the People''s, but God''s Vicegerent? |
A54843 | now if obeying in the first clause did not signify Believing, it must have been in the second,[ who hath obeyed our report?] |
A54843 | of Lyes, and Slanders, and most malitious Accusations, against a People more Innocent, and better Reputed than themselves? |
A54843 | offer it now unto thy Governour, will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy Person, saith the Lord of Hosts? |
A54843 | or are we careless and indifferent what shall become of us hereafter? |
A54843 | or as Iulian did Iamblicus, and the old Magi, Zoroastres? |
A54843 | or as the Iailour of Philippi to Paul and Silas,( in the words which are now before us,) what must we do that we may be sav''d? |
A54843 | or for a thing of a Span long to resist Immensity? |
A54843 | or give the Victuals to his Dogs, and leave us to dine upon the Platters? |
A54843 | or must we cut off our hands, for the working out of our Salvation? |
A54843 | or shall a Blind man infer,( and that from the Topick of Experience,) that the Sun in his Meridian is in reality but a Shadow? |
A54843 | or shall we inlighten our selves by Candles, when behold the Sun of Righteousness is long since Risen in our Horizon? |
A54843 | or shall we shamelesly be seeking great things for ourselves, whilst our Master is the outcast and Scorn of men? |
A54843 | or stand in very great Dread of a lesser Punishment? |
A54843 | or sweep the House for a Groat which he praesumes is in his Pocket? |
A54843 | or than the Turks at this day do give to Mahomed? |
A54843 | or that he really should believe there is a Heaven, and a Hell, without a minutely concernment, to which of the two he must needs belong? |
A54843 | or that if we can not escape the Temptations of the World, yet by the powerful Grace of God, well cooperated with, we may be able to overcome them? |
A54843 | or think that ought is due to them, for their having been already so much oblig''d? |
A54843 | or to Canaan? |
A54843 | or to Hell? |
A54843 | or to believe in any other, than the second Person in the Trinity, God manifest in the Flesh? |
A54843 | or to fly for Refuge to the Saints, when behold a Saviour? |
A54843 | or to the Woman, what hast Thou brought forth? |
A54843 | or to what purpose are we commanded, That we strive to enter in, and also told at the same time, That many shall seek who shall not enter? |
A54843 | or was he not one of those Philippians of whom St. Paul required more? |
A54843 | or was it given him? |
A54843 | or what Apologie canst thou make for thy starting aside from the Cross of Christ, which alone can exalt thee to wear a Crown? |
A54843 | or what Good Deed have I omitted? |
A54843 | or what Sect must I be of? |
A54843 | or what are the Clouds more unwilling to, than they are to rain Earth? |
A54843 | or what holiness can there be, in unavoidable transgressions for want of strength? |

A54843 | or what shall we do to hold fast our Lives?] |
A54843 | or what would we think of that man, who having invited us to his Table, should take the Marrow to himself, and humbly present us with the Bone? |
A54843 | or when the World and the Flesh have injoy''d our Kernel, How can we think that our Creator will be contented with the Shell? |
A54843 | or whether he hath not rather received the Grace of God in vain? |
A54843 | or whilst they fear, by turning Christians, they shall be under the Persecution of Fellow Christians? |
A54843 | or whither must I go? |
A54843 | or who will look so far within him, as to examin the state of things, betwixt his Saviour and his Soul? |
A54843 | or why do they think to merit Heaven by being Rich in Good works, when even the Goodness of their works does but increase their obligation? |
A54843 | parted more by their Animosities, than by their Pyrenaean Hills? |
A54843 | rather to crucifie the Flesh, than permit it to defile and destroy the Spirit? |
A54843 | shall their Unbelief make the Faith of God of none effect? |
A54843 | shall we be factious only for Christ, as the Franciscans are for Scotus, and the Dominicans for Aquinas? |
A54843 | shall we be such over- nice, or such delicate Servants, as to repine at those hardships, which were the Portion of our Lord? |
A54843 | shall we lean upon such Reeds as will but run through our Elbows? |
A54843 | shall we live as if we believ''d, that Christianity is but a Sect, if not a Faction? |
A54843 | spend the Flower of our Age on that base Triumvirate, The World, the Flesh, and the Devil? |
A54843 | such a Faith as by which we may be sure to please God, or at least without which it is † impossible to please him? |
A54843 | that all our Sins are discounted by Another man''s Sufferings? |
A54843 | that is to say,''till we our selves are grown such Burdens unto our selves, as we know not what to do with? |
A54843 | that makes a strict and impartial search after the Requisites of his Salvation? |
A54843 | that sends as''t were an Huy and Cry after things future and invisible? |
A54843 | that there is no fear in love, yet no true love without some fear? |
A54843 | that we may labour for the meat which will never perish, but indure unto Life everlasting? |
A54843 | that''t is improper for us to live as in the Common- wealth of Plato, whilst we are in the Dregs of Romulus? |

A54843 | to make a right use of the Light within us? |
A54843 | was He alone to be sav''d at so cheap a Rate, as a single Belief on the Lord Iesus Christ? |
A54843 | were it not for Wealth and Plenty, where were Munificence, and Works of Mercy? |

A55305 | Also the Objectors may be asked, Doth not God foreknow that the Creature set in such a state and order of things will finally sin? |
A55305 | And after all this, is the Will in aequilibrio? |
A55305 | And again; Posset Deus( saith he of wicked men) ipsorum voluntatem in bonum convertere, quoniam Omnipotens est; posset planè, cur ergo non fecit? |
A55305 | And are Sufferings all the Image of Christ? |
A55305 | And are all those which are called to Sufferings Justified and Glorified? |
A55305 | And can there be less of the beauty of providence in the Spiritual world than in the natural? |
A55305 | And how doth God reserve or make men to remain unto himself? |
A55305 | And how irrational is it also? |
A55305 | And how then is not Predestination to these? |
A55305 | And how then without eternal Decrees can there be any foundation of Futures? |
A55305 | And if Christ''s errand into the World was to execute Election, then how did he merit it? |
A55305 | And if he did not order it to his own Glory, how should Light come out of Darkness, and Order out of Confusions? |
A55305 | And if not, how can it actually turn to God, seeing that is actus ordinis supernaturalis? |
A55305 | And if so, how is it retained to the Father? |
A55305 | And 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? |
A55305 | And is all this glory of words poured out upon a mere posse; which doth not so much as encline to Conversion? |
A55305 | And is there no Emphasis of Love? |
A55305 | And is this for God to chuse like himself? |
A55305 | And may a Will renewed with the holy Ghost, and right set by gracious Principles do thus? |
A55305 | And seeing every Change is a kind of Death, must not the Deity suffer, and as it were die in this Mutation? |
A55305 | And what Worlds can not the Life of God purchase? |
A55305 | And what are these wishes? |
A55305 | And what for just nothing, for a sic volo? |
A55305 | And what hindred you from turning unto me? |
A55305 | And what is all this but the executing of the Decree of Election? |
A55305 | And what is the Calling following upon Predestination? |
A55305 | And what is the Justification which hangs upon Calling? |
A55305 | And what is this Will and Mercy but God''s gratuitous design of Grace and Glory to his Elect? |
A55305 | And what nakedness can not the Righteousness of God cover? |
A55305 | And what would not a Saint do, if but left in manu consilii sui? |
A55305 | And when he was risen from the dead, he raises up the Faith of his Disciples, Why do thoughts arise in your hearts? |
A55305 | And whence came all these numbers and hosts of Beings? |
A55305 | And where in all this Epistle is the word[ justifie] so taken? |
A55305 | And who is he but God the Creator? |
A55305 | And who set you there at first? |
A55305 | And why is it not free, if determined? |
A55305 | And why so here? |
A55305 | And why then do you call him dead? |
A55305 | And why would you not? |
A55305 | And, Ne dicas Deo interrogando, Quae est voluntas tua? |
A55305 | Are and Glory no part thereof? |
A55305 | Are not all Souls his own, and may he not chuse which he pleases? |
A55305 | Are not all the Promises Yea and Amen in him? |
A55305 | Are not here the noblest and highest Inclinations set forth unto us? |
A55305 | Are there no strains of free Grace? |
A55305 | Are these his Image also? |
A55305 | Are they finite or infinite? |
A55305 | Are those Spirits made perfect in every thing else but that? |
A55305 | As to the first Quaere, Whether Christ died for all men? |
A55305 | At enim gratiâ ille talis& tantus est, cur diversa est gratia, ubi natura communisest? |
A55305 | But admit that these Graces were his own too; yet how can finite Graces satisfie for an infinite Evil? |
A55305 | But further; Is not Faith the Grace of Union with Christ? |
A55305 | But further; how did he do the Will of God? |
A55305 | But here I shall be asked whether that posse convertere be not such a Principle? |
A55305 | But how absurd is this? |
A55305 | But how came you into such ranks? |
A55305 | But how can he do so, if as to the Act of Election he be under the Pre- determining Will of Man? |
A55305 | But how doth he blind and harden them? |
A55305 | But how far will he remove it? |
A55305 | But how unscriptural is this? |
A55305 | But if Christ no way died for all men, how came the Ministers Commission to be so large? |
A55305 | But 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? |
A55305 | But if Sufferings were all Christ''s Image, yet are all Sufferings his Image? |
A55305 | But if all the rest might consist, yet where is the Efficacy of it? |
A55305 | But if he did, what would become of them? |
A55305 | But if one Creature could steal away all its Fellow- creatures from him, yet who shall turn back his Almighty Hand? |
A55305 | But if the Will can not turn aside to such false Beatitudes, yet may it not suspend its Act as to the true? |
A55305 | But if there be, how can he permit sin, seeing he is bound to give such Grace as will actually prevent it? |
A55305 | But if this also might be satisfied, yet where is the Grace of it? |
A55305 | But if this may be salved by the Divine Prescience, yet where is the Sovereignty of it? |
A55305 | But is this so strange a thing( will you say?) |
A55305 | But now if Christ by his Merits do found the very Decree of Election, is not the Order of working in the sacred Trinity inverted? |
A55305 | But now if Christ died alike or equally for all, what becomes of his precious Blood? |
A55305 | But now without gracious Principles in the Heart, how can the Heart be right or pure? |
A55305 | But on the other side how cogent is the argument? |
A55305 | But since you came over, where do you stand? |
A55305 | But suppose they could all be induced to become a Sacrifice for us, would the holy One open his Eyes upon such a Satisfaction? |
A55305 | But to go on; What is the Predestination here, but to a Conformity to the Image of Christ? |
A55305 | But what a perplexed Labyrinth of words is here? |
A55305 | But what is our most congruous conception thereof? |
A55305 | But what is this interpretation but mere a perverting of Scripture? |
A55305 | But what''s the meaning of this? |
A55305 | But whence had you all that truth and goodness which is in you? |
A55305 | But where in all the Scripture doth the word[ Calling] being put absolutely, and without such addition, ever signifie a Call to Sufferings? |
A55305 | But where is the holiness and obedience of the Saints recorded, but in the very Decree of Election? |
A55305 | But whither can he turn? |
A55305 | But who dares add an[ it] to Gods Word, and in this Text to the two links and not to the former? |
A55305 | But why a Philanthropy rather than a Philangely? |
A55305 | But would all the Apostles bring forth fruit? |
A55305 | But you''l say, How can these things be? |
A55305 | But you''l say, Is not Eternal Life also a Reward of Faith and Holiness? |
A55305 | But you''l say, Is not Man a living Creature? |
A55305 | But you''l say, Might they not also resist him as to his internal Operations? |
A55305 | But you''l say, the Passive Obedience is only meant there; but if so, why doth the Apostle oppose it to Adam''s Actual Disobedience? |
A55305 | But your Beings being of such different sorts, how came you to be so kind each to other? |

A55305 | Consider what a kind of Creation the production of gracious Principles is: Is it every way pure Creation? |

A55305 | Consider who is the principal Agent, who but the Almighty? |
A55305 | Could it not curse the Sinner? |
A55305 | Could not the Blood of God have washed out the blackest spots of fallen Angels? |
A55305 | Could that humane Nature( conceived by the holy Ghost, and inseparably united to the God- head) could that also transgress? |

A55305 | Do we make void the Law by Faith, or by its Object our Redeemer and Redemption? |
A55305 | Do you doubt whether I am he who paid down the Price of Redemption? |
A55305 | Do you scruple whether that Price were accepted of God or not? |
A55305 | Dost thou go on frowardly in the way of thy heart? |
A55305 | Dost thou oppose the precious Gospel? |
A55305 | Doth Sin profer a World? |
A55305 | Doth he drop out of the state of Grace without any apostasie, or continue in it without any differencing quality? |
A55305 | Doth he in hindring sin offer violence to man''s Liberty, as in permitting it he leaves him thereunto? |
A55305 | Doth he yet destinate them to Eternal life without a Mediator? |
A55305 | Doth not Christ dwell in the heart by faith? |
A55305 | Doth not that evidently import a Decree, that whosoever believes shall be saved? |
A55305 | Doth not the Father, even in his Eternal Election, work from the Son? |
A55305 | Doth not the Will turn Brute in closing with sensual Lusts? |
A55305 | Doth thy Will hang back? |
A55305 | Even moral Vertues dispose to moral Acts, how much more do supernatural Principles dispose to spiritual Acts? |

A55305 | For whom was this Price paid? |
A55305 | Foreknowing this, doth not he willingly and actually set the Creature in that state and order? |
A55305 | From or upon this setting the Creature in that state and order, doth not its final Sin infallibly follow? |
A55305 | God says, No flesh shall glory in it self, and shall Man''s Will vaunt it thus? |

A55305 | Hath not the new heart, which hath eternal life in it, a propensity to Acts of spiritual life? |
A55305 | Have not they all the essentials of Liberty? |
A55305 | Hence it appears, that that Expression[ What could have been done more?] |
A55305 | Hence the Will hath no whither else to turn: But if it turn no whither else, may it not suspend its Act as to Christ? |

A55305 | If it be so perfectly designative, is not the Decree of Election at least included therein? |
A55305 | If it be yet further demanded, To what purpose is it to argue which way Reprobates shall be saved, seeing none of them ever did or will believe? |
A55305 | If it do not, whither will it turn? |
A55305 | If not, where is the supposed Liberty? |
A55305 | If so, then why did he sanctifie himself for them? |
A55305 | If so, where is the divine Providence? |
A55305 | If so, why did he die for them? |
A55305 | If so, why did he give himself for it? |
A55305 | If so, why did he lay down his life for them? |

A55305 | In Regeneration the Law is writ in the heart, and how can that be but through the Understanding? |
A55305 | In and through whom it is done? |
A55305 | In order of existence, Faith is first before Salvation; but was it first also in intention? |
A55305 | In order of nature, Faith is first before Adoption; but was it first also in intention? |
A55305 | In production the Sun was first before the Beams; but was it first also in intention? |
A55305 | In production, the Chaos was first before the complete World, but was it so in intention? |
A55305 | In short; God''s Election must be either arbitrary or necessary; If necessary, how is his Election free? |
A55305 | In what Order these are designed? |
A55305 | In what manner are these things designed? |

A55305 | Is not Faith the Mother- grace of all? |
A55305 | Is not all Grace and Glory his own, and may he not do with his own what he pleases? |
A55305 | Is not he the Mediator and purchaser of the whole? |
A55305 | Is not the Son the first Origine of our Salvation? |
A55305 | Is that the thing that is wanting in Heaven? |
A55305 | Is the Understanding all? |
A55305 | Is the Understanding determinate? |
A55305 | Is the Understanding pendulous? |
A55305 | Is there no import of singular respect and affection in all these Expressions? |
A55305 | Is thine Ear deaf? |
A55305 | Is thy Heart barred and shut up against God? |
A55305 | It appears by the Will of Christ: when he paid down his Obedience, what was his meaning? |
A55305 | It is written in the Gospel, Believe and thou shalt be justified; but in what Gospel is it written, Believe and thou shalt be elected? |
A55305 | It is written in the Gospel, Relieve and thou shalt be saved; but in what Gospel is it written, Believe and thou shalt be Elected? |

A55305 | May not he concurr to the Material Act of sin? |
A55305 | May not he marshal objects? |
A55305 | May not he suspend his Efficacious Grace? |
A55305 | May not the Will hang back for all that? |
A55305 | Might not his boundless Mercy have saved the selftempted Devils? |
A55305 | Might not the Scripture rather have said, that the Elect were given by the Son to the Father, than by the Father to the Son? |
A55305 | Misericordiâ Domini plena est terra; quare non dictum est, plenum est coelum? |
A55305 | Must not God''s eternal Prescience fall a doubting and faltring about every Future? |
A55305 | Must not God''s own dwelling- house, even his glorious Eternity, sink and fall to the ground? |
A55305 | Must not the Well of life break forth, the seed and life of God spring up, and the divine nature shew forth it self? |

A55305 | Neither lastly is there any loss in Christ''s purchase, for what did he purchase? |
A55305 | Neither will it salve the business, to say, there is a Voluntas signi in all this; for what is Voluntas signi, if it be not signum Voluntatis? |

A55305 | No doubt they are in the instant of believing; and how then is Calling set first and Justification last? |

A55305 | Nonne faciente& suscipiente verbo ipse homo, ex quo esse coepit, silius Dei unicus esse coepit? |
A55305 | Nonne filium Dei unicum foemina illa gratiâ plena concepit? |
A55305 | Nothing less than the holy Spirit, which formed Christ in the Womb, can form him in the Heart: but shall they be begotten by the holy Spirit? |
A55305 | Now Christ( the Power of God) came to supply this weakness: but how doth he do it? |
A55305 | Now how doth God permit sin''s Finality, but by that blinding and hardning of Reprobates, which is so frequent in Scripture? |
A55305 | Now how far doth Christ intercede in Heaven? |
A55305 | Now how is it possible that all men should be thus ▪ redeemed? |

A55305 | Or is it because the Spirit is resisted in some? |
A55305 | Or may it be rational and free without an Understanding? |
A55305 | Ought not supernatural acts to issue forth in as great connaturalness to their Principles as natural? |
A55305 | Our Saviour quotes that in the Prophets[ And they shall be all taught of God] and and what follows upon that teaching? |

A55305 | Shall the Brutal World be a Sacrifice for the Rational? |

A55305 | Should God ask, Where wast thou when I laid the foundation of my Church in my divine Decrees? |
A55305 | Should he ask on, Who made thee to differ from another? |
A55305 | Should he ask, Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Predestination, that it shall not cause a Spring of Faith and Holiness in my Church? |
A55305 | Should he yet ask, Who hath known the mind of the Lord, or been his Counseller? |
A55305 | Should there not be as sweet an order in the new Creature as in the old? |
A55305 | Solomon''s Law or Execution, or else Shimei''s passage? |
A55305 | Such a Knowledge being really actuated, can the Will turn aside to other Objects for its happiness? |
A55305 | Surely not a tittle of his Obedience was irrationally done, nor a drop of his Blood irrationally shed; what then was his meaning in it? |
A55305 | The Devils, as full of malice as they are against, Christ, are never said to do it, and why are men charged with it? |
A55305 | The Gospel calls and knocks at every door, why are not the Demonstrations of the Spirit, and the drawings of the Father in every heart? |
A55305 | The Gospel says in general, Whosoever will, may take the Water of Life freely, why doth not God work the Will in all? |
A55305 | The Gospel sounds in every Ear, why do not all hear and learn of the Father? |

A55305 | The Will of fallen Man what is it but a very Shoal of inordinate Affections, a Womb of evil Concupiscence? |

A55305 | They command men to repent that their sins may be blotted out, but how can their sins be blotted out for whom Christ was not made sin? |
A55305 | This Anointing is an inward Ecclesiastes crying out, All is vanity; Doth it profer Honors or Riches or Pleasures? |
A55305 | This Principle rests upon him as a King, able to put all his enemies under his feet: Are there strong holds of Sin in us? |
A55305 | This Thesis overturns the Liberty of the Will; for if the Will be determined by the Understanding, how is it free? |
A55305 | This Thesis takes away the necessity of gracious Principles in the Will; what need of any there, seeing the Will is so good a follower? |

A55305 | Unto which I answer; If that Promise be Voluntas signi, what doth it signifie? |
A55305 | Very well; but what Grace doth the Text speak of? |
A55305 | Was it not to dissolve the Chains of Sin, open the Prison of Wrath, and spoil and triumph over the bloody Jaylor Satan? |
A55305 | Was it not to procure the standing of the Body of Nature, the shedding down of the Spirit of Grace, and the opening a door to Heaven and eternal Life? |

A55305 | Why a liberty of Contradiction to other Objects, but because the Understanding looks on them as matters of little or no moment? |
A55305 | Why are any dimissi libero arbitrio, left to the miserable servitude of their own free Will? |
A55305 | Why did the rebellious Israelites grieve their good God forty years together? |
A55305 | Why do the Mammonists boast and trust in their uncertain Riches? |
A55305 | Why doth the Atheist say in his heart, there is no God? |
A55305 | Why doth the blind Idolater fall down to the Stock of a Tree? |
A55305 | Why hast thou forsaken me? |
A55305 | Why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our hearts from thy fear? |
A55305 | Why hath a Will a liberty of Spontaneity to some Objects, but because the Understanding represents them as good pro hîc& nunc? |
A55305 | Why have not the Elements Life, the Plants Sense, the Beasts Reason, and Men Angelical Perfections? |
A55305 | Why have such and such Worms a lot in light, and not in utter darkness? |
A55305 | Why is he so earnest for Understanding? |
A55305 | Why is not Grace as common as Nature, and Saintship as Humanity? |
A55305 | Why should Holiness be designed, which was yet in being and unforfeited? |
A55305 | Why should Salvation be appointed, when as yet there was none lost, or in the state of perdition? |
A55305 | Why should corrupt Reason mutter as if Satisfaction and Remission, which are matches in Scripture, were inconsistencies in Nature? |
A55305 | Why, but because it is determined? |
A55305 | Will it hang off from perfect Blessedness? |
A55305 | Will men take a pin of it to hang a vessel thereon? |
A55305 | Will not the new creature renewed by the holy Ghost, and sweetned by the holy Unction have some Odours and Fragrancies breaking forth from it? |
A55305 | Will they not, if God give them a Will, a new heart and a new spirit? |
A55305 | Will they not, if God take away the nilling and resisting Principle, the heart of stone? |
A55305 | Will they not, if God write his Laws in their hearts and inward parts? |
A55305 | You 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]? |
A55305 | You will say, What remedy for all this? |
A55305 | You''l say, Is this so absurd? |
A55305 | You''l say,''t is in the Person of Christ our Redeemer: But how is it there? |
A55305 | and God''s sovereignty, hath not the potter power over the clay? |
A55305 | and are they not extensive to all men? |
A55305 | and can it do thus when a right- set Understanding is really actuated, and it self truly principled with Grace? |
A55305 | and can there be a worse Stone than this? |
A55305 | and do not these denominate him gracious in whom they are? |
A55305 | and doth not the Scripture call men Beasts upon that account? |
A55305 | and how then can that be decreed as a Reward without a preconsideration of these? |
A55305 | and if free, how determined? |
A55305 | and if not 〈 ◊ 〉 way doth their Unbelief give God the lye? |
A55305 | and is not a posse peccare from him also? |
A55305 | and unless this be cut off, can there be a true Circumcision? |
A55305 | and when he says so, who may pare off ought, and say, it was not all but some? |
A55305 | and whence is this approach but from God and God electing? |
A55305 | and where are his Sufferings alone so stiled in Scripture? |
A55305 | and why doth he say Obedience in general? |
A55305 | and yet did not his humane Will indeclinably follow his divine? |
A55305 | being only streams from God, as light from the Sun; If the Sun be gone, who can keep light in the Air? |
A55305 | but if there be, how are these things connected? |
A55305 | could they have it quite out of God''s Way? |
A55305 | couldst thou not at least have inwardly enlightned every one? |
A55305 | couldst thou not write the Law in every Heart? |
A55305 | cur, nisi quia stultus est? |
A55305 | cùm sim quod audio, i d est, homo, quod est& ille de quo ago, cur non sim quod& ille? |
A55305 | doth it not directly resist the Blood and Righteousness of Christ? |
A55305 | he is a root of fatness and sweetness; Art thou a lost and half- damned Creature? |
A55305 | he is a sun of righteousness; Art thou in death? |
A55305 | he is but as other men are, and how can he be in it? |
A55305 | he is the resurrection and the life; Art thou a withered branch? |
A55305 | he''l give us hearts of flesh capable thereof; are our hearts void of God''s Law? |
A55305 | he''l roll away the stone from them; do our hearts resist holy impressions? |
A55305 | his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back? |
A55305 | how Resurrection? |
A55305 | how, but by giving of Faith unto them? |
A55305 | if a better Grace of the Spirit, how can it precede such a Mother- grace as Faith? |
A55305 | if the passive obedience of Christ apart purchase all for us, where is the glory of the active? |
A55305 | is not Unbelief of our Spirit, and Faith of Gods? |
A55305 | knocked and you would not open? |
A55305 | moved and you would not stir? |
A55305 | must therefore Faith reject it? |
A55305 | neither is possible; he back- slides not from God, and how can he be out of the state of Grace? |
A55305 | offered Christ and Heaven and you would not accept? |
A55305 | or can it do so, and the summū malū not fall into its embraces? |
A55305 | or draw back from the Kingdom of Heaven which never approached unto them? |
A55305 | or from what other Scripture can it be demonstrated? |
A55305 | or neglect Salvation for whom it was never prepared? |
A55305 | or trample on that precious Blood which was never shed for them? |
A55305 | or was it a Church in his Intention? |
A55305 | or what is so properly such as his Active Obedience? |
A55305 | or who shall descend into the deep? |
A55305 | quia noluit; cur noluerit? |
A55305 | quid credidit? |
A55305 | quid egit ante? |
A55305 | quid petivit, ut ad hanc ineffabilem excellentiam perveniret? |
A55305 | quomodo isti inde delentur, ubi nunquam scripti sunt? |
A55305 | saith the Soul, all this is but thick clay, and why should I lade my Eagle- affections with it? |
A55305 | says the Soul, this is he who made the Robe of Righteousness for me, and how much love was there in every thread of it? |
A55305 | that one and the same thing should be imported in both? |
A55305 | then 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? |
A55305 | therefore suffer me to parly their Original out of their own mouths, Creatures, whence came you? |
A55305 | they are all Blackamoors to this all- lovely Jesus; What, to repentant Tears? |
A55305 | this Principle rests on him as the power of God to cast them down: Are there Armies of temptations round about us? |
A55305 | those want washing in his Blood; What, to its good Works and Righteousness? |
A55305 | to the ungathered ones? |
A55305 | tu quis es qui respondeas Deo? |
A55305 | what a Chaos in the Elements? |
A55305 | what a crack in the heavenly Orbs? |
A55305 | what a strange Dooms- day by the blending of Sun and Sea, Heaven and Earth together? |
A55305 | what a tumbling cast would there be among the Angels? |
A55305 | what amazing Changes? |
A55305 | what an Heaven and Earth full of admirable Creatures and Harmonies issued forth? |
A55305 | what an horrible Tempest must needs ensue? |
A55305 | what from its own blessedness verily, thoroughly believed? |
A55305 | what from the only way to Blessedness evidently pointed out? |
A55305 | what high strains are here? |
A55305 | what is man that thou savest him? |
A55305 | what is the mutable Being of Creatures, unless fixed by the Will of the Necesse esse? |
A55305 | what may not be done by it? |
A55305 | what rare Eloquence? |
A55305 | what shall I do to be saved? |
A55305 | what trembling fits would there be in them? |
A55305 | what words of Power? |
A55305 | when I laid the measures of her Graces in my Eternal purpose? |
A55305 | which way can God''s Call be answered, or his Desire or Delight attained? |
A55305 | whom on earth besides thee? |
A55305 | whom 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? |
A55305 | why hast thou chosen me? |
A55305 | why hast thou forsaken me? |
A55305 | why hast thou loved me? |
A55305 | why should they come to that Feast for whom nothing is prepared? |
A55305 | would they all do so and be happy? |
A55305 | yet why may it not be so in an infinite? |
