A902781 Whether Christ in making satisfaction, underwent that Penalty that was threatned to the Offendors themselves?
A902782 Grant All that here is said, how doth it prove that Christ underwent not the very Penalty of the Law?
A902782 How comes the Sinner by Faith, if it is the Gift of God?
A902782 Whether the Penalty due to One, may not be undergon by Another?
A902782 Whether the Penalty though undergone by another, be not the idem of the Obligation?
A9027820. because he now will, and may, suitablely to his Justice ▪ Wisdome, and Appointment, make out unto them?
A902783 How doth this Elude the force of my Answer?
A902784 Doth not Mr B. suppose, That in the very Tenure of the Obligation there is required a solution, tending to the same End as satisfaction doth?
A902784 That the Law threatned not Christ but us, is most true: but the Question is, Whether Christ underwent not the threatning of the Law, not we?
A902784 To the thing it self, I desire to enquire; 1 What M. B. intends by solutio ejusdem in the businesse in hand?
A90278And may not this hold in things Personal also?
A90278And what said I more?
A90278And what saith Grotius more then this?
A90278But how is all this proved?

A90278Else, Why is Faith given him at this instant for Christs sake, and not to another, for whom also he died?
A90278For, What is that Love of God which through Christ is effectual to bestow Faith upon the Unbeleeving?
A90278For: 1; Why doth the Lord bestow Faith on Peter, not on Judas?

A90278In respect of punishment abstracting from Persons, the Law was not dispensed withal as to Christ?
A90278In things Real, I gave an Instance before: If a man pay twenty pounds for another who owed it, doth not he pay the idem in the Obligation?
A90278Is it because he was not Primarily in the Obligation?
A90278Is it because the Law doth threaten every man Personally?
A90278Is it from his foresight of their good using their Abilities to fulfil the Condition to them prescribed?

A90278Or will he deny it to be equivalent in Gods Gracious Acceptance?
A90278That dreadful cry, Why hast thou forsaken me?
A90278That is, Whether Christ paid the idem in the Obligation, or tantundum?
A90278That is, Whether God be only a Rector, or a Rector and Creditor also in this Businesse?
A90278They were Potentially in the Purpose of God: but will that make them a meet subject for the Residence of this Right, and Merit whereof we speak?

A90278What End I pray doth this obtain ipso facto?
A90278What differs this in the Close from absolute freedom?
A90278What now sayes M. B. to this?
A90278What then doth the Lord do, when he thus bestoweth Faith on him?
A90278What then is my Crime?
A90278Whence is this difference?
A90278Where I pray?
A90278Where then is the difference?
A90278Wherein?
A90278Whether Christ paid the idem, or the tantundum?
A90278Why?
A90278Will his words bear any other sense?
A90278Will you deny it?
A90278and if so, Whether it be not the same Penalty( the idem) or no?

A30167But, I say, what cause would there be to ask in his Name more than in the Name of some other?
A30167By him therefore; wherefore?

A30167The END of the Law, what is the End of the Law, but perfect and sinless Obedience?
A30167The Peace of God, of that we have spoken before; but how should this rule in our Hearts?
A30167Then gathered the Chief- Priests and Pharisees a Counsel, and said, what do we?
A30167These kill the Heart, for who can bear up under the guilt of Sin?

A776424. Who then is excluded from the call of God, and to whom hath not his light shined?
A776424. that God had not give them eyes to see, a heart to perceive, and ears to hear, unto this day?

A77642Christ foreknew( and so did the Father) that Judas would betray Jesus; doth it follow that God appointed Judas hereunto?
A77642Did the Spirit of the Lord ever say that Christ dyed not for all, or that he dyed but for some?

A77642First, I ask, What was it that the hand and counsel of the Lord determin''d to be done or brought to pass?
A77642First, Whether every Man and Woman have not ability to act something?
A77642For, first, I querie, Whether unbelief and disobedience be simply sins?
A77642How comes it to pass then that all do not walk up to that light which God hath manifested to them, believing and obeying the truth?
A77642I answer, first, by a Querie, Whether we shall be judged by the Word as it speaks, or as men say it means?
A77642I demand whether he doth acquire them to serve him, or profess his service really or seemingly?
A77642I grant it: but will any be so void of reason as to say, therefore he appointed it, and chose out or ordained one man to Adultery, another to Murther?
A77642If thou dost well, shalt thou not be accepted?

A77642Shall there be evill in the City, and the Lord hath not done it?
A77642That the Devil put in the heart of Iudas to betray Iesus?
A77642That they were appointed to be disobedient?
A77642Then what have you to do to say that he is so to others?
A77642Thirdly, Whether God did indue them with that ability to do well, or to do ill, or to do nothing?
A77642Thou art not excluded by name, and why shouldst thou exclude thy self through unbeliefe?
A77642What is man, that thou takest knowledge of him; or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?

A77642is there any Scripture from the beginning of Genesis to the end of the Revelation that speaks thus?
A77642or are there any more sorts of men and women, but such as obey the Spirit, and such as resist it?

A77642reprove them for being so?
A77642shall we think that he that reproves men for judging another mans servant, will allow that which he condemns?
A77642shew wherein, as I desired him, being then present?
A77642to the word, or to disobedience?
A77642what profession of the Faith of Christ can they make, and what good or evil can they do?
A77642would Christ ever have been grieved for the hardnesse of the Jewes hearts, had he not laid down his life for them?
A77642yea how can their sin be of themselves, if God appointed them to be disobedient?
A65610( except your necessary rest;) And that your time and wealth are but his talen ● s?
A65610Alas, sirs, have you all this to do?
A65610And are you ready with well grounded hope and peace, to wellcome death, and appear in judgement?
A65610And bethink your selves whether a servant may say, I will do less work than my fellow servants, because I have more wages?
A65610And hereby shew that your Repentance is hypocritical, and will not prove the pardon of your sin?
A65610And is it not worse that you deal with God?
A65610And therefore the common excuse of such twatlers is this: I hope that it is no harm: yea, but what good was it?
A65610And to increase our pity, when they have done they ask,[ What harm is there in cards and dice, in stage- playes and Romances?
A65610And when he saw him fit for an admonition, would wisely bestow it upon him?
A65610And whether God have not only the leavings of your flesh?
A65610And whether those things which should have none, and those which should have little, have not almost all?
A65610And whether you may do less for God, because he giveth you more than others?
A65610And why then in Baptism did you renounce them and vow to follow Christ?
A65610And will you yet live so contrary to your prayers, to your consciences, and to reason it self?
A65610And yet have you Time to spare on Vanity?
A65610Are you regenerate and rènewed to the Heavenly nature?
A65610Are you strong and stablished in grace?
A65610Are your hearts in Heaven?
A65610As if he had said Ho, Sir, it is time to get up; what not out of your b ● d yet, at this time of the day?
A65610Believe it, O man and Woman, it is to do all that ever must be done, to prepare for an everlasting life?
A65610But alas, how do the common sort of men bewray their monstrous folly in this behalf?
A65610But if you say, Yea; I pray you then tell us how much Time Christ or any of his Apostles, did spend at cards, or dice, or stage- playes?
A65610Did they waste so much of the day, in nothings, and need- nots as our slothful sensual Gentry do?
A65610Did you ever find such a prayer in any Prayer book?
A65610Do you believe that you must give an account of your Time?
A65610Do you consider well the shortness and uncertainty of your Time?
A65610Do you know who attendeth you while you are loitering away your Time?
A65610Do you mark what dying men say of Time, and how they value it?
A65610Do you really take Christ, and his Apostles and Saints, to be the fittest pattern for the spending of your time?
A65610Do you sober ● y consider, what work you have for all your time?
A65610Do you think if you neglect and lose your Time, that ever you should come again into this world, to spend it better?
A65610Doth it not awaken and amaze thy soul, to think what it is to be for ever; I say, for ever, in Ioy or Misery?
A65610Doth it not tell you what you have to do, and call upon you to dispatch it?
A65610First, he calls him up( as it were) saying; How long wilt thou sleep, when wilt thou rise out of thy sleep?
A65610For do we not plainly see, what a canker it is in a number of mens lives?
A65610For do we not see, that in many places, whole dayes are cast away in the deep gulf of roving, and unprofitable runnagate- babling to no purpose?
A65610For when wisdom laughes a man to scorn, whither shall he repair for succour?
A65610Gentlemen and Ladies, I envy not your pleasures: I have my self a body with its proper appetites, which would be gratified, as well as you?
A65610Give not all( ah, why should we give any of it?)
A65610Had you not rather that it had been spent in fruitful holiness and good works, than in idleness and fleshly pleasures?
A65610Have you deeply considered that everlasting condition is, which all your Time is given you to prepare for?
A65610Have you made sure of pardon and salvation?
A65610Have you no more useful Recreations?
A65610Have you not a God to serve?
A65610Have you not an outward calling to follow?
A65610Have you not death and judgement to prepare for?
A65610Have you not servants and children to instruct and educate( And O what a deal of labour do ● h their ignorance and obstinacy require?
A65610How can it chuse but be a great hinderance to a mans estate to sleep in harvest, and to be in bed at such a time, when so much wealth is bestowing?
A65610How can one have treasure in Heaven, that never laid up any there?
A65610How can you chuse but tremble when you think how you spend your dai ● s?
A65610How do you now wish that you had spent the Time which is already past?
A65610How full of grace should his old age and sickness be, that would give his health to God, and his first years to the service of his soul?
A65610How great acquaintance might he get in the palace of Wisdom, that would come to her at her first call, and enter so soon as the doors were set open?
A65610How many false opinions have you to be untaught?
A65610How many fervent prayers might he store up in heaven that would not fore- slow time, when he feels his desires earnest?
A65610How many graces to be obtained?
A65610How many have died suddenly?
A65610How many pernicious customs to be changed?
A65610How many powerful corruptions to be mortified?
A65610How many temptations to be overcome?
A65610How many weighty lessons to learn?
A65610How many winter nights do men suffer themselves to be robbed of, by this childish babling?
A65610How much thankfulness might he have, that would lift up his heart to God in the fruition of blessing?
A65610How often and how earnestly are men exhorted to all good works by the continual voice of God, speaking unto them by his servants?
A65610How ordinarily do good and bad then wish, that they had spent Time better, and cry out, O that it were to spend again?
A65610How short is your abode in your present dwelling like to be, in comparison of your abode in dust and darkness?
A65610How think you the miserable souls in Hell would value Time, if they were again sent hither, and tryed with it again on the terms as we are?
A65610If not, you have not so much as a shadow of Repentance; and therefore can have no just conceit that you are forgiven?
A65610If this be so, I am not reprehending you; But I beseech you consider, Have you ● o ● souls to regard as well as others?
A65610If yea, then why will you do that for the Time to come, which you wish for the time past that you had never done?
A65610If you do not your work well, shall you ever come again to mend it?
A65610If you do not, why do you usurp the name of Christians: Is he a Christian who would not live like Christians?
A65610If you do, what account will then be most comfortab ● y to you?
A65610If you have no pains or sickness to admonish you, do you not know what a fragile thing is fl ● sh?
A65610If you idle away this life, will God ever give you another here?
A65610Is it easie to get a solid faith?
A65610Is it not lawful to use such and such recreations?]
A65610Is it nothing to order and govern your hearts?
A65610Is the Devil idle while you are idle?
A65610Is the work that you were made for hitherto well done?
A65610Is your Recreation but as the Mowers whe ● ting of his sythe?
A65610Look back on all your Time that is past, and tell me whether it made not haste?
A65610Must you stay on earth so short a time, and have you any of this little time to spare?
A65610Now what a miserable loss is it when a man is robbed of his time, and of his heart both at once?
A65610O what a heart hath that stupified sinner, that can ● idle away that little Time, which is allotted him to prepare for his everlasting state?
A65610O what a large encrease of grace would this care bring?
A65610Sometimes, if men see their servants standing idle and unbusied, they can ask them with a kind of indignation, What, can you find nothing to do?
A65610Tell me, or tell your consciences, How would you form such a prayer to God for your recovery if you were now sick?
A65610That knoweth he shall have but this hastly life to win or lose eternal Glory in, and can play it away as if he had nothing to do with it?
A65610The worth of Time, is for the work that is to be done in Time?
A65610Then for idle thoughts; who makes question of them almost?
A65610They let pass all good opportunities, and care not for any occasion for the soul, and how can their soul thrive?
A65610What great grace would affliction bring, if a man would settle himself to humiliation, and gage his heart in time of affliction?
A65610What maketh you so loth to dye, if Time be no more worth than to cast away unprofitably?
A65610What not at Christmas?
A65610While many are hourly crouding into another world, will conscience permit you to be idle?
A65610Whilst the Jayler had Paul in his keeping ▪ he came to ask that needful ● uestion, What shall I do to be saved?
A65610Why should that time be vi ● ified now, which will seem so precious then?
A65610Why stand you all the day idle?
A65610Will not graves and bones, and dust instruct you?
A65610Will not the tolling of the Bell instruct you?
A65610Will you take it for a satisfactory answer?
A65610Would they feast it away, and play it away as you do now; and then say, Are not playes and cards and feasting lawful?
A65610Would you say, Lord give me a little more Time to play at cards and dice in?
A65610Yea so much of it as you daily waste, in idleness, play and vain curiosity?

A65610and are they not lawful?]
A65610and his word and will to learn and do?
A65610and how all this time must be accounted for?
A65610and how many sweet and chearful Psalms might a Christian sing, if he would turn all his mirth into a Psalm; and offer it up to God?
A65610and in the labours of a lawful bodily employment?
A65610and is your daily coversation there?
A65610and on how important a business you come into the world?
A65610and preserving fear?
A65610and that he giveth you not an hours time in vain, but appointeth you work for every hour?
A65610and that you must look back from Eternity on the Time wh ● ch you now spend?
A65610and then to be exercised, and strengthened, and preserved?
A65610and yet can you have while to sl ● g, and game, and play and fool away your Time?
A65610asking whether the World were so empty of occasions, and our selves so perfectly well, as that we can find nothing to do?
A65610doth not this waste and pour forth time over- lavishly?
A65610how comfortably might he weep over Christ, and how plenti ● ully, that would take the tide of tears, and turn all pensiveness to this use?
A65610how many sottishly?
A65610how should his souls thrive, that would be thus husbandly?
A65610in Heaven or Hell?
A65610no oftner, nor no longer than is necessary to fit you for those Labours and duties, which must be the great and daily business of your lives?
A65610one of these will certainly and shortly be thy portion, whatever unbelief may say against it?
A65610or how much in furnishing their bodies, their attendants, their habitations with matter of splendour and vain glory?
A65610or that taketh not Christ for his Master and Example?
A65610or were but insignificant words?
A65610or, what if that should come to pass?
A65610suppose they were all unquestionably lawful, Have you no greater matter that while to do?
A65610suppose you had seventy years to live, how soon will they be gone?
A65610that will exercise your bodies and minds more profitably, or at least with less expence of Time?

A65610to enemies?
A65610to equals?
A65610to inferiours?
A65610to neighbours?
A65610to superiours?
A65610where is one, that hath enjoyned himself to some constancy in praying, reading, and the fore- named duties?
A65610which as the flower fa ● leth, doth hasten to corruption and to dust?
A65610who marks these exhortations?
A65610your passions?
A65610your thoughts?
A65610your tongues?
A4035614. Who can dwell with devouring fire, who would( saith the Lord) set the bryars and thorns against me in battel?
A4035622. and to go to Heaven alone,& to endeavour by your prayers, counsels and examples, to perswade and draw others into Heavens way?
A4035623. whilst it is called to day, or will you bestow nothing but dregs and snuffs of rotten old age upon God and your immortal souls?

A403564: But he that doth that which is lawful and right, shall save his soul alive; who is that?
A403566. would it not be matter of amazement, and wonder to Men and Angels?
A40356A Precious Servant of the Lord was wo nt to say, if a man could answer to these two Questions, he need not to fear?
A40356Again, turn your eyes inward to the hidden man of the heart; is there the seed of God, or impress of his Image, and the Divine Nature?
A40356And this, the very light of nature dictated to the ship- master( though a Heathen) that then it was no season to sleep, what meanest thou O sleeper?
A40356And what remains, but a doleful remembrance of those good things that are past and gone, and a severe strict account that is yet behind?
A40356And when once he hath injected his poyson into the head, how much time is spent in writing and disputing to defend his delusions?
A40356And where ever you meet it, or see it, you may say of it, as Abab to the Prophet, hast thou found me, O mine enemy?
A40356And will you desire and wish for the woeful day?
A40356And will you go on in the wayes of sin and death?
A40356And will you judg the men of the earth, or worldly wise men, the wisest men, who take care for the body, and neglect the soul?
A40356And will you not, even to astonishment, adore the unsearchable riches of grace?
A40356And will you spare it, and keep it still within your mouth?
A40356Are not they in a very happy condition, that do believe, repent and turn to God with their whole heart?
A40356Are thy hours for God?
A40356Are ye still?
A40356Are you Heaven- born, or born after the flesh only?
A40356Are you crucified to the World, or do your souls cleave unto the dust?
A40356Are you partakers of the first resurrection, or are you in your graves, rotting, stinking in your sins, being past feeling?
A40356Are you vessels of honour prepared unto Glory, or Vessels of wrath fitted for destruction?
A40356Art thou in astate of grace, at odds with fin, and truly in love with Christ and holiness?
A40356But will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
A40356Can thine heart endure, or thine hands be strong in the day that I shall deal with thee?
A40356Can you chearfully, and without dread, entertain the thoughts of a dissolution, and of leaving all your earthly and sensual delightes?
A40356Can you rise early, go to bed late, and eat the bread of carefulness, to get the meat that perisheth; and find no time for God and your Souls?
A40356Canst thou say, though I follow my Calling, and take care for my Family, yet I am most solicious about my everlasting condition?
A40356Consider, which of the two Eternities you are going towards?
A40356Conviction leads the way to conversion, as the needle to the thread: what''s a plaist ● r worth, where there is no wound?
A40356Do I make conscience of redeeming time, so as to joyn time and duty togetogether?
A40356Do Time and Duty go hand in hand?
A40356Do n''t you hear the Holy Ghost say, It is now high time to seek the Lord; and calling to you, Come away, make speed?
A40356Do not say, what need so much speed?
A40356Do the great concerns of Gods glory, and your salvation, bear down all before them?
A40356Do you beleive that Christs flock is little, and not fear your selves?
A40356Do you know that you must die, and die but once?
A40356Do you know your selves in a state of grace, that you are new born, that your evidences for heaven are clear and certain?
A40356Do you see any thing that hath Eternity engraven upon it?
A40356Do you think that Esau, Judas, Ahab, Agrippa, Herod, Simon Magus, the foolish Virgins are in hell, and yet confident of your going to heaven?
A40356Doth my inward man prosper?
A40356Doth not God frown and threaten to remove the Candle- stick, and leave us in darkness?
A40356First, Am I Gods child?
A40356First, When is time redeemed?
A40356Further, are you risen with Christ, or dead in trespasses and Sins?
A40356Hast thou not been the Devils too long already?
A40356Hast thou not time for every other thing, namely, a time for eating, drinking, sleeping, potting, piping, playing, and none for Heaven?
A40356Hath the most righteous judge, and sin- revenging God, held your souls in life, and kept you from death and Hell to this very day?
A40356Have I had a holy awe of God in the midst of my Worldly business this day?
A40356Have you any certainty of a blessed and glorious Eternity?
A40356Have you bought the Pearl?
A40356Have you seriously bewail''d the loss of time, and begg''d the pardon of it?
A40356Have you so liv''d, as to be fit to lye down in a Grave, to rise again, and stand before God who is a consuming fire?
A40356Have you unfeignedly believed, repented and turned to God with the renting of your hearts, and resigned your whole souls to him?
A40356Have your souls sincerely closed with Jesus Christ, and freely and fully given up, and resigned your selves to him to be his for ever?

A40356I have lived many years in the world; What have I been doing all my days?
A40356I may cry out with the Prophet, call for the mourning women, for who is not guilty in this kind?
A40356I sometimes think of death, but the thoughts of death and judgement are very terrible; I fear I am not fit to die, how shall it be known?

A40356If a man were in the Sea near sinking, can a Boat come to soon?

A40356If you look downward to this world, it s well; but how is it within with your precious soul?
A40356If your bodies were tortured and tormented with pain and sickness, would you think that ease and health might come too soon?
A40356Is Grace thriving?
A40356Is Jesus Christ the Beloved and Darling of your Souls?
A40356Is is not better to be the Lord''s servant, then Satan''s Slave?
A40356Is it most certain, that I am in a state of Grace?
A40356Is it not possible that you being yet on this side the Grave and Hell, may prepare for this evil day?
A40356Is there an active, living, springing principle of Grace?
A40356Is there not an appointed time for man upon Earth?
A40356Lust, Pride, and uncleanness?)
A40356Men declare their sins like Sodom, and are not ashamed of the unfruitful works of darkness; and why?
A40356Now Sinners, stop here and consider, unto which of the two do you belong?
A40356Now how stands the case of your precious souls?
A40356Now the Damned and cursed Crue, are your brave Boon companions, and bosom friends?
A40356Now what sins have you lest?
A40356Now you souls in peril, which is best?
A40356O how can you think of your dying, the worlds burning, the trumpers Sounding, the deads rising and staunding at the Bar, and not fear and tremble?
A40356O that you might know in this your day the things which belong to your Peace, before they be hid from your eyes?
A40356O when will you come to your selves, and throw away your arms, and consider your souls; or will you not be saved?
A40356O where shall I leave them?
A40356O wretched man that I am who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
A40356Or, can a condemned Malefactor receive his pardon too soon?
A40356Quam serum est, tunc vivere incipere, cum desinendum est?
A40356Say as Meses, Who knoweth the power of thine anger?
A40356Secondly, Am I in Gods way?
A40356Sin is the Traitor and Murderer of your immortal souls, and those nails that will shortly dig your Graves:& will you hug, hide and hold it fast?
A40356Such is the activity and vigour of this gracious nature, that it will bring a man to a What wilt thou have me to do?
A40356Suppose thou hadst dyed in thy Christless state, where had thy soul been?
A40356Suppose you had as much of the Riches, Pomp, and glory of the World as any man that ever liv''d upon the face of the Earth?

A40356Would you pray more frequently?

A40356and how near am I to it?
A40356and how?
A40356and is there no reigning allowed sin in your hearts and ways?
A40356and no Idol of the heart to keep Christ out of his Throne?
A40356and so many pieces and parcels of your selves gone before to this long home; so many Relations and Children now a sleep in the dust of death?
A40356and will you not indeavour to do that well which can not be done the second time?
A40356and your beds but the representation of your dark graves?
A40356are they buried in perpetual oblivion, never to be remembred any more?
A40356are they secured, have you made a real preparation for death and judgement, or left all undone?
A40356are you companions for Swine and filty Dogs, the World of Ungodly; or of the Doves and Lambs of Christ?
A40356are you for Godliness in the life and power of it?
A40356are you truely at odds with Sin and every sin?
A40356do you find your hearts affectionately and venemently carried out to Jesus Christ so, as not to be satisfied without Union and Communion with him?
A40356do your Lamps burn?
A40356doth sin, and every sin look ugly, feel heavy, taste bitter?
A40356doth the heart- searching God find you in your Closets, on your knees morning and evening pouring out your souls before him?
A40356feeble knees, trembling hands, wrinkled faces, gray or bald heads, the grave being ready, for you?
A40356have I answered the end of my being?
A40356have I demean''d my self like a child of God this day?
A40356have not God and my soul been strangers this day, and many days together?
A40356have you a Treasure in Heaven, or treasure in the Field onely?
A40356how long?
A40356how you may escape Hell, and come safe to Heaven, be not the most urgent and important business, that you have in all the world?
A40356is it not sin which thou embracest in thy bosom?
A40356is your work done?
A40356no secret sin lived in against Conscience?
A40356or a scratch on the hand, to a stab at the heart?
A40356or are you content with Pebbles?
A40356or do you take pleasure in unrighteousness?
A40356or how shall I be rid of them, now I am dying?
A40356that make provision for time, but none for eternity?
A40356that murders the body, and that damns and burnes the soul?
A40356that now forget God, and this great and mighty concern of your eternal souls, what will you do in the day of Visitation?
A40356the King of Saints, or the God of this World?
A40356the mark of Sheep?
A40356to know that God and Christ is his, that he is fit to live or die, because a mistake here is very dreadful, and of an infinite consequence?
A40356to thwart, cross, and greive your well- wishing, dearest, best and only friend, or to please and geatifie your prosessed, deadly, implacable enemy?
A40356were you resolv''d upon it, would be done: you have often intended it, promised it; when shall it be?
A40356what do you intend to do?
A40356what grace have you exercis''d what duties have you performed?
A40356what is it that brings Diseases& threatens death?
A40356what is sleep but the picture and image of cold Death?
A40356what is the bite of a flea, to the sting of a Serpent?
A40356what must I endure?
A40356what need so much improving of time, so much reading, hearing, praying, preaching?
A40356what will be my company?
A40356what''s the heat and smart of a little candle, to a hot fiery furnace, or a devouring flame?
A40356when shall it once be?
A40356where shall be the place?
A40356whither am I going?
A40356who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
A40356who by living a life of grace, are truly prepared for death, and out of the dreadful hazzard of loosing Heaven?
A40356who keeps the Throne?
A40356whose mark have you?
A40356why will you dye?
A40356will this excuse thee another day, thou careless, ignorant, deluded soul?
A40356wilt thou take no comfort in thy life?
A40356you that have sickly, weak, diseased bodies, full of paines and aches, that are so many partial quotidian deaths; yea a dying daily?
A26796''T is God that justifies, who is he that condemneth?
A26796''T is said, they were all amazed, insomuch that they question''d among themselves saying, what thing is this, what new Doctrine is this?
A26796''T is there That the wrath of God abides on him; and who knows the power of his wrath?
A26796( that is to bring down Christ from above) Or who shall descend into the deep?
A26796An vero usque adeo d ● s ● ipiendum est, ut homo videat melius aliquid fieri debuisse,& hoc Deum vidisse non putet?
A26796And another time they said, is not this the Son of David?
A26796And by the lowest abasement?
A26796And can there be a more afflicting calamity, then to be the slave of ones enemy, especially if base and cruel?
A26796And have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?
A26796And how can our Redeemer, supposing him God, make satisfaction to himself?
A26796And how conspicuous was his Love in this darkning Condescension?
A26796And how great is that Love which pitied& rescued us from Sin and Hell?
A26796And how our Redeemer, supposing him God, can make Satisfaction to Himself?
A26796And how reasonable is it that we should at his command remit a few faults to our Brethren?
A26796And how reasonable is the condition it requires?
A26796And how shall I give thee up, Ephraim?
A26796And how should the Evangelical Light warm our hearts with thankfulness to God for this admirable Priviledg?
A26796And if it be askt how His Death had a saving influence before He actually Suffered?
A26796And if the light that is in us be darkness, how great is that darkness?
A26796And if the sole apprehension be intolerable, how much more will the dwelling with devouring Fire, and everlasting burning?
A26796And if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
A26796And if we consider the Person of our Redeemer, what more worthy object of our affection than Christ?
A26796And if we seriously consider them, how can any crevise be opened in the heart for the least breath of Pride to enter?
A26796And is it not most reasonable to believe, that the Deity can not be fully understood by us?
A26796And is it possible for a Christian to live in those Sins for which Christ died?
A26796And is there iniquity in God?
A26796And what an admirable exaltation of Mercy is there in this new Treaty of God with Sinners?
A26796And what could possibly induce them to it, if they had not been certain of his Resurrection?
A26796And what hast thou that thou didst not receive?
A26796And what proportion is there between finite and infinite?
A26796And who is able to conceive the weight of God''s Hand when he punishes sin according to its desert?
A26796And with what colour then could they reject our Redeemer because crucified?
A26796Anne tam tristi atque multiplici ministerio non pollui credamus dubitemusque?
A26796As if the Son of God had been consecrated by such terrible Sufferings, to purchase and prepare a Pardon for those who sin securely?
A26796As the Apostle argues, If he hath given us his Son, will he not with him give us all things?
A26796As when he puts the question, Is God unjust who taketh vengeance?
A26796Atque Deum?
A26796Aut putet vidisse,& credat facere noluisse?
A26796Aut voluisse quidem& minime potuisse?
A26796Blessed Redeemer, what couldst thou have done or Suffered more, to quicken our dead Powers, and inflame our cold Hearts toward thee?
A26796But what can not infinite Love, united to infinite Power, perform?
A26796Can they avoid or endure the Wrath of an Incensed God?
A26796Can they encounter with the fury of the Almighty, the apprehensions of which made the Soul of Christ heavy unto Death?
A26796Can they fortifie themselves against the Supreme Judge?
A26796Could love to their dead Master animate them to suffer for the honour of his Name?
A26796Especially when there is so clear a Revelation of him?
A26796Facinus est vincire Romanum Civem, Scelus est verberare, prope Parricidium necare, quid dicam in Crucem tollere?
A26796Familias nuper intterimere,& tota Convivia, quae voluptas tanta tam ancipitis cibi?
A26796For how could the gods made them Sacrifices to their Justice, who were companions with them in their Crimes?
A26796For how honourable is it to be like the Son of God?
A26796For how is it possible that God should retract his merciful purpose to save his People?
A26796For how is it possible the Blood of a Beast should cleanse the Soul of a Man, or content the Justice of an offended God?
A26796For how unnatural is it, not to love our Benefactour, when the dull Ox and the stupid Ass serve those that feed them?
A26796For what Sins are there which so entire a Satisfaction doth not expiate?
A26796For what could overcome the Infinite distance, between not being, and being, but Infinite Power?
A26796For what is more natural than that one flame should produce another?
A26796For what proportion is there between God and Man?
A26796From whence was the difference?
A26796Had Christ less Courage?
A26796Hath He with so dear an expence satisfied his Justice, and will he deny his Mercy to relenting and returning Sinners?
A26796Have they patience to bear that for ever, which was to Christ, who had the strength of the Deity to support him, intolerable for a few hours?
A26796He that loved them so as to unite them to Christ when they were strangers, will He hate them when they are his Members?
A26796He that prevented them in his Mercy, when they were in their pollutions, will He leave them after his Image is engraven upon them?
A26796Here the complaint is more just, Ad sapientiam quis accedit?
A26796How blessed an exchange have the Merits of his Sufferings made with those of our Sins?
A26796How can a reasonable Creature believe that eternal Damnation shall be the Punishment of Sin, and yet live in the wilful practice of it?
A26796How can a worthless Rebel that is hateful to God expiate the offence of so excellent a Majesty?
A26796How can he that only lives upon Alms, boast that he is rich?
A26796How can it be said that he was Crucified for us alone?
A26796How can we reflect on our Spiritual Obligations to Divine Grace without a rapture of Soul?
A26796How can we reflect upon it without the warmest Affections to our Redeemer?
A26796How can we remember thy bleeding, dying Love without an Extasy of affection?
A26796How could God receive this Price, since he gave his Son to that Death which redeems us?
A26796How could he quicken and Glorifie us, who finally perisht?
A26796How cutting then was it to his Soul, to be suspended from the perfect vision of God?
A26796How desperate then is the case of such a Sinner?
A26796How doth this exalt his Compassion to us?
A26796How easily can God destroy him, when by his sole Word he made him?
A26796How far more easie is it to overcome the bodies of Men, than subdue their Souls?
A26796How irregular and dangerous must our motions be?
A26796How is Man disfigur''d by his Fall?
A26796How is he transform''d in an instant from the Image of God, into the Image of the Devil?
A26796How is it possible He should deny the Knowledg of Himself to those to whom He gave such a pure Love to Himself?
A26796How many Troops of Deadly Diseases are ready to seize on them, immediatly after their Entrance into the World?
A26796How many living Martyrs were Exiles for the Faith, and depriv''d of all humane consolation?
A26796How many thousands were put to Death for the honour of our Redeemer?
A26796How much less difficult is it for some Nations to change their Kings, than for all to change their Gods?
A26796How much more tolerable had been the condition of such Sinners, if saving Grace had never appeared unto Men, or they had never heard of it?
A26796How unable is he to encounter with offended Omnipotence?
A26796How unqualified were we for his Love?
A26796If God spared not his Son when he came in the similitude of sinful flesh, how shall Sinners who are deeply and universally defiled escape?
A26796If he sacrifice himself, he can never appease the Divine Displeasure, for what doth he offer but a lump of Rebellion and Ingratitude?
A26796If it did not support him when he stood, how can it raise him when he is fallen?
A26796If it were so with the green Tree, what will become of the dry, when exposed to the fiery Tryal?
A26796If the Stream swell so high as to overflow the Banks, will it stop in a descending Valley?
A26796If they attribute to their Supreme God, the Judg of the World, Vices as Vertues, What Vertues will there be to reward, or Vices to punish in Men?
A26796If thou be righteous, what givest thou him?
A26796If thou sinnest, what do ● t thou against him?
A26796Indeed what greater disparagement can there be of the Divine Purity, than to indulge our selves in Sin upon confidence of an easie Forgiveness?
A26796Is it not the highest Reason to believe the discovery that God hath made of Himself, and his Decrees?
A26796Lord, what is Man that thou takest knowledge of him?
A26796Malevoli solatii genus turba miserorum?
A26796Man is a Ttransgressor from the Womb, and how can he expect a favourable Reception into the Empire of an offended God?
A26796Mercy regarded Man with respect to his misery, and the pleas of it are, Shall the Almighty build to ruine?
A26796Nam si supremus ille dies non extinctionem, sed commutationem affert loci, quid optabilius?
A26796Now can there be a more powerful motive to Obedience than Infinite and Eternal Blessedness?
A26796Now how is it possible that Rational Agents should freely, in the open light, for perishing vanities dare to commit sin?
A26796Now if the Doctrine of Christ( that strictly forbids the Worship of Idols) were received, who would attend to their old Lies?
A26796Now what Secret Power produced that suddain and universal Change?
A26796Now what can be more powerful to restrain Men from sin than the terrours of the Lord?
A26796Now what is more prudent, than of two evils that are propounded to choose the least?
A26796Now what is our Duty becoming this Priviledg, But to be transform''d into the same Image from Glory to Glory, as by the Spirit of the Lord?
A26796Now what is there in Heaven or Earth that can move our Wills to entire Obedience, if this marvellous Pattern doth not affect us?
A26796Now what less then the Divine Power could support them under those Torments, which''t is almost incredible a Body made of flesh could endure?
A26796Now where did the Divine Power ever appear more glorious than in our crucified Saviour?
A26796Now who can believe that so many should be obstructed with Melancholy for so long time, so as constantly to remain under the power of a Delusion?
A26796Nunquid enim si melior esset qui no ● posset peccare, ideo non benefactus est qui posset& non peccare?
A26796Of what inestimable value then is the death of Christ, and how worthy a Ransom for lost mankind?
A26796Or revenge the imitation of their own actions?
A26796Our Saviour asks the Jews, how can ye believe, which receive honour one from another, and seek not the Honour which comes from God only?
A26796Quare ergo illi datum est,& illi non dadum?
A26796Quid erat cur in numero viventium me positum esse gauderem?
A26796Quid violentius triumphat de Deo?
A26796Quis est enim iste amor amicitiae?
A26796Quis quod vir bonus esset gratias Diis egit unquam?
A26796Shall the enemy triumph for ever, and raise his Trophies from the Works of the most High?
A26796Shall the most excellent creature in the lower world perish, the fault not being solely his?
A26796Shall the reasonable Creature lose the fruition of God, and God the subjection and service of the Creature, and all Mankind be made in vain?
A26796That is, How can a Righteous person be born of a Sinner?
A26796The Righteousness of Faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into Heaven?
A26796The Son by his glorious appariton to Paul, when He struck him to the earth with these words, Why persecutest thou me?
A26796Therefore the Apostle propounds it with indignation, Shall we sin that Grace may abound?
A26796Therefore the Apostle, by way of upbraiding, enquires, Where is the wise man?
A26796They only saw the veiled face of Moses, We all with open face as in a glass see the Glory of the Lord?
A26796This is just matter of our highest admiration, why the milder Attribute is exercised towards Man, and the severer on them?
A26796Thus he is represented inquiring by the Prophet, Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow my self before the most High God?
A26796To be divorc''d as it were from himself, and to lose that Paradise He alwaies had within Him?
A26796To conclude, Who can make a list of the evils to which the Body is liable, by the disagreeing Elements that compose it?
A26796To what Sanctuary will he fly?
A26796We have reason to break forth in the Language of the Psalmist, How great is thy goodness which thou hast laid up for those that fear thee?

A26796What an extasie of Love transported the Son of God so far as to espouse our Nature, after it was defiled and debased with Sin?
A26796What an high Provocation is it to despise Redeeming Mercy, and to defeat that infinite Goodness which hath been at such expence for our Recovery?
A26796What an unexpressible indignity is it to make a monstrous alliance between Christ and Belial?
A26796What astonishing goodness is it, that God who is the Author and end of all things, should become the means of our Salvation?
A26796What but a wilful distraction could induce him to believe that by defacing God''s image, he should become more like him?
A26796What can change his Affections?
A26796What can he expect from his own Reason that betrayed him to ruin?
A26796What can oblige more strongly to duty than Gratieude?
A26796What can work upon an ingenious Person more than sense of Kindness?
A26796What confusion of Thoughts, what a combat of Passions was he in?
A26796What could produce such a marvelous change in the World but an Almighty power?
A26796What desperate Folly, to have slight apprehensions of that, which is attended with the first and second Death?
A26796What for his sumptuous Palaces, and Gardens of Pleasure, exceeding the Luxury of Nero?

A26796What is more wonderful and worthy of God, than that perfect Love, which made all the first Believers to have one Heart and one Soul?

A26796if such humble and thankful acknowledgments were due for the Scepter of Israel, what is for the Crown of Heaven?
A26796or the Son of Man that thou makest account of him?

A26796saith the Lord God: And not that he should return from his ways and live?
A26796shall I come before him with Burnt- Offerings, with Calves of a year old?
A26796shall I give my first- born for my transgression, the fruit of my Body for the sin of my Soul?

A27064( Can a Man speak plainer for Christs dying for all?)
A27064( for his attaining Life after by Christ, is nothing against his losing it in the first way?)
A2706422. if it were not a mercy, then Men did not sin against mercy in rejecting it, which who dare say?
A2706434. who is he that condemneth?
A27064Again, is not Original sin the loss of Gods Image, and the pravity of Nature a Punishment for the first sin?
A27064Also how could Christ condemn Pagans or any for not improving his Talents of Mercy, if they had none?
A27064And I shall anon shew how it leads to Infidelity and other Sins, And after this, what Face of Religion is left, unsubverted?
A27064And by Legislation or conditional Donation, make a free gift of Christ to all that will have him?
A27064And can there be the effect without the cause?
A27064And do not all the opposers confess that Christs Death was sufficient for All men?
A27064And doth not God do more for Peter, than for Judas, for the Elect than the Reprobate, antecedently to their Faith?
A27064And how can any Man prove Gods special love by the evidence of a false Faith?
A27064And how can we consent to have Christ and so be united to him, except he first give himself to us on condition that we will consent?
A27064And if God may do so in one, why not in others?
A27064And if God shew this undeserved Mercy to a Manasseh, which he denyeth to a Pharaoh, is it not his free grace that makes Manasseh to differ?
A27064And invite multitudes that will refuse; and yet compel but his chosen only to come in?
A27064And is Christ an imperfect Saviour to all these?
A27064And is it not fit for us to understand the same phrase used in the next Chapter save ● ● e as in the same Sense?
A27064And is it not long of themselves if they never hear it, nor have any benefit by it?
A27064And is it plainer in this than in its affirming that Christ died for All?
A27064And it is hereby answered, that He can if that man Believe?
A27064And must I still continue that groundless Act?
A27064And of neglecting all the Duties which he might have been informed of?
A27064And one would think none should doubt of the Minor: Whether it be any injustice in God, by his Law to oblige to punishment those that Christ Died for?
A27064And so a fulfilling of that threatning?
A27064And so have other sinners that be not fallen so far as he is?
A27064And so make Hell thus far to be no Hell?
A27064And so not attain the fruit of that Govenant thereby?
A27064And so that in rejecting it they never were guilty of rejecting or sinning against any love or mercy?
A27064And therefore if the effect follow not, the Law enquires, Who it is long of?
A27064And therefore would not have been sufficient to save us, had it been possible for us to have believed in it, or had we actually believed?
A27064And this God could not but accept,( consequenter ad Leges) For who can refuse the proper debt?
A27064And through thy knowledg shall thy weak Brother perish, for whom Christ died?
A27064And was it not sufficient materially after?
A27064And what Divine, except Antinomians, doth deny Faith to be the Condition?
A27064And what difference( as to their ransome) between most men, and Devils?
A27064And what if all that they supposed of this Text had been true?
A27064And what if it were so in some places?
A27064And what is that Kingdom( here meant) but the Gospel?
A27064And what other buying with a price can you here devise?
A27064And what the better is he for whom it was never paid?
A27064And why may we not as well say Christ Redeemed men to Salvation, that yet for rejecting it are not saved?
A27064And why should they wonder at that, who deny it to be a Fruit of Satisfaction or Ransom, which is a more Universal cause then Election is?
A27064And why then should we obey a King that is not our King?
A27064And would he not have cried out on the offerer as a deceiver, and unjust and cruel?
A27064Are none of their sins Original or Actual, nor any of their sufferings or disunion from Christ and Alienation from God, punishments to them?
A27064Are those Dispositions Gods Gifts or not?
A27064At least, not as any Redeemer or Friend of theirs?
A27064But I have no knowledg whether he be either my Redeemer, or sufficient, or willing?
A27064But because he asks, who dare say this?
A27064But doth not God decree it?
A27064But he never bid any man, examine thy self whether thou be redeemed, or whether Christ dyed for thee?
A27064But how can the meer light of Nature discern Gospel Truths, without a supernatural Revelation?
A27064But on what ground is this?
A27064But what if their various acception were granted?
A27064But who dare say that it is unmeet for God to give men such effectual grace as shall Infallibly cause them to Believe?
A27064But why doth not God compel all to come in as well as some?
A27064But will you say, it saith not for every man?
A27064Can Men walk to Heaven by Faith without a Redeemer?
A27064Can any man then believe that the tenour of the new Law or Covenant, is so much harder than ever was the Law of Works, as is before expressed?
A27064Can any obligation dissolve or remit it self?
A27064Can he have all his debt, and remit it too?
A27064Can they make this?
A27064Could God give them Christ as a Satisfier and Redeemer, who never had satisfied for them or redeemed?
A27064Death and damnation; then if there be but a spark of Grace in us we begin to be of another mind, and to reason thus with our selves, what?
A27064Did he send his Son that they might be saved?
A27064Did not Christ bear the Curse of the Law for us, that he might Redeem them that were under the Law?
A27064Did you ever see a rational man wounded in Conscience for not being an Angel, or not seeing God face to face, or not redeeming his own Soul?
A27064Do not these men know that they vent all these confident zealous insultings, directly against the Scripture expressions, as well as against ours?
A27064Do these men think that the unrenewed faculty hath need of no Grace but an object or perswasion from without, to cause it to believe?
A27064Doth it any where except any one man, and say Christ died not for him?
A27064Doth it follow that therefore he hath Ransomed the Irish, because he hath power to judg and destroy them, or use them in servitude?
A27064Doth it not plainly say, that all things( else) are ready; when yet Faith in them was unready, for they would not?
A27064Doth it not signifie a defect in our belief of the truth of Scripture?
A27064Doth it say any where that he died only for his Sheep, or his Elect, and exclude the Non- Elect?
A27064Doth it say, as plainly any where that he died not for all?
A27064Doth not Christ himself expresly speak of not forgiving sin in this life or that to come?
A27064Doth not Christ say to Hierusalem, How oft would I have gathered thee, as a Hen gathereth her Chickens under her Wings, and ye would not?
A27064Doth not the Text plainly distinguish here between Faith and all the Benefits that by Faith we are partakers of?
A27064Doth the Judg execute all the penalty; and yet forgive it?
A27064Either he hath satisfied for me before I believe or not?
A27064Even then when it openly discovereth it self false or is supposed so to do?
A27064Examine your selves whether you be in the Faith, know ye not your own selves that Jesus Christ is in you except ye be Reprobates?
A27064For how can the Omniscient, Immutable God, be suddenly surprized with a new purpose which never came into his mind before our being Believers?
A27064For is this making all ready?
A27064For the Question now is, Whether God can give Pardon to a Man for whom Christ hath not satisfyed?
A27064For though a Law not promulgate can not oblige, yet the Question is, Who it was long of?
A27064For what can any Law in the World require or any Lawgiver, in exactest justice, but that the Law be perfectly fulfilled?
A27064For what have we to persuade us that Christ is the eternal God but plain Scripture?
A27064For who will offer a gift to us to be accepted that it may be ours, if we have accepted it already?
A27064God will so bless you, if you are willing or reject it not?
A27064Hath Christ virtue to be derived for the saving of any that he died not for?
A27064Hath every place that treats of proper Redemption such an addition?
A27064Hath it not too plain a tendency to infidelity and disobedience?
A27064Hath not the Prince here Ransomed all the Scots over whom he hath his Jus Dominii& Imperii?
A27064He hath not said, either, if thou believe I will die for thee?
A27064Hence you may see how to judge of the Controversie so much agitated between us and the Papists, Utrum Remissd Culpa remaneat poena temporalis?
A27064How can he call any thing[ a way of Salvation wide enough] which presupposeth not Christs satisfaction for the person?
A27064How can he say,[ There is enough in Christ for the Salvation of them all, if so be they will derive virtue from him by touching him by Faith?]
A27064How can he truely say[ there is enough in the remedy] Which is as to them no Remedy?
A27064How can it be said that by the sufficiency of his Ransome he is able to save them, for whom it is no Ransome?
A27064How can there be enough in it, or how can it be any remedy, to heal all diseases, and deliver from all evils, before it have made satisfaction?
A27064How can this man give us his Flesh to eat?
A27064How could we believe in, or receive Christ as our Redeemer, who never Redeemed us?
A27064How could we hear him as such, and call on him as such, or trust him as such,?
A27064How could we obey Christ as our Lord- redeemer, who was not our Lord- redeemer?
A27064How else should God judge the World?
A27064How few then of the Elect themselves should do it?
A27064How much doth it differ from the language of Men when they are pleading for Separation?
A27064How will the divulging of these, glorify God?
A27064I no where find the Scripture using that motive to perswade Men to believe, or to get assurance: But what must I do in the mean time?
A27064I will not examine the truth of that now, but if it be true of them on Earth, why not also of them in Hell?
A27064If God had spoke in so strange a language once in all the Bible?
A27064If any say, God is not capable of injustice, if you should suppose the breach of his promise?
A27064If every one in the World be intended, why doth not the Lord in the pursuit of this Love reveal Christ to all so loved?
A27064If for some only, who then can be saved,& c?
A27064If he have, how shall I know it?
A27064If he procure by his Death no possibility of their Salvation, but induce a necessity of their deep condemnation?
A27064If it had been said that they were washed in the blood of the Lamb, had it not been easie for the same wit to have found another interpretation?
A27064If there be, what is that necessity?
A27064Is Christ any readier for those he died not for, than for the Devils?
A27064Is all this so with those in Hell?
A27064Is it because Christ Dyed only for one, or that one only believed and the other refused Christ?
A27064Is not Christ God?
A27064Is not a man bound to mourn over him whom his sins have pierced before he knoweth himself to be Elect?
A27064Is not he unjust that denieth him an acquittance and the cancelling of the obligation, who hath fully paid him all his due?
A27064Is not punishment due to them both in this Life and that to come?
A27064Is not that in high pride to prefer your own understandings before the wisdom of the Spirit of God, who indicted the Scriptures?
A27064Is not the Gospel the savour of death to some?
A27064Is not the Salvation of Men the Fruit of Christs dying for them?
A27064Is the obligation fulfilled, and remitted or relaxed too?
A27064Is there any contradiction more palpable?
A27064Is there enough in that remedy to heal the Devils if they believed?
A27064Is this Non- resistance or Willingness to Believe the Gift of God or not?
A27064It is not hard to see the fair and harmonious consistency: But what if you can not see how two plain Truths of the Gospel should agree?
A27064It is not therefore de materia debiti, that we enquire, but de formâ: Whether it were the same formally which we owed, and the obligation required?
A27064Lastly, If all this were nothing as to the Regenerate, yet who ever said that God never punisheth any of his Elect while they are Unregenerate?
A27064Let me imagine such a Dialogue as this between such a Teacher and a Sinner?
A27064M. But Christ hath satisfied for all if they will believe?
A27064Make Christ a Sacrifice for all, ready?
A27064May he not do with his own as he list?
A27064May it not be said of an Atheist ▪[ He denieth the God that made him,] as an aggravation of his particular sin?
A27064May not God give power to those Devils which were the Gods of Damascus, really to smite Ahaz?
A27064May not a Man by this dealing say what he will as the meaning of Scripture?
A27064Men and Brethren what shall we do to be saved?
A27064Moreover, Christ saith now, how oft would I have gathered you?
A27064Must Men first believe without love that by the Mark of such a Faith they may have ground for love?
A27064Must it not do that before it can heal any other disease?
A27064Must not the application be first to God by satisfying him before it can be made to Man by believing?
A27064Nay how can it be accepted before it is offered?
A27064Negando enim causam negat affectum: Quaeris cur nulla supersit?
A27064Nihil ergo rectius quam luisse pro nobis Christum poenas: num aliquas tantum, an vero omnes?
A27064Nor of the quantity of Torment, for intension or duration?
A27064Now I shall think it meet to stand the longer on this point, because the decision of the main Question[ Whether Christ dyed for all men?]
A27064Now I would know of any man, would you believe that Christ died for all men if the Scripture plainly speak it?
A27064Now if men have none of the Talents which Christ''s Death hath purchased them, how can he condemn them for abusing that which they had not?
A27064Now what ground can a Minister have to press all Men to believe in Christ as their Redeemer, when they know he redeemed but the smallest part?
A27064Now what is said against this?
A27064Object But doth not God''s foreknowledge and decree make mens Salvation impossible, as well as Christs not Dying for them?
A27064Only I say, when Christ died Millions of Men were actually saved: Did God send his Son to save them that were saved already?
A27064Or are they called to make it?
A27064Or deny an acquittance to him that dischargeth it?
A27064Or did ever wise Judge absolve an offender on that ground?
A27064Or his Redemption?
A27064Or is there such a true Faith?
A27064Or let me perish in my Sin, and State of nature?
A27064Or only the Value, and not the same full debt?
A27064Or rather for the most hainous aggravation of his fault?
A27064Or rather, is it not spoken of the end of Gods Legislative Will, and so is meant of a conditional gift?
A27064Or that he who is sanctified by the Blood of the Covenant, was one whose sins caused that Blood?
A27064Or that the enjoyment of these may stand with the full execution of the sentence of the Law?
A27064Or that this Man( Judas) is not delivered and saved as well as that( Peter?)
A27064Or to cure his wicked nature?
A27064Or to justifie him if he be accused as liable to punishment?
A27064Or trust to his Blood for Justification, which was never shed for us?
A27064Or what justice can refuse to acquit him that hath paid all that was due?
A27064Or why the Prince should tell them, There remained no more Ransom for them when they were never ransomed at all?
A27064Or would coming in serve turn without satisfaction?
A27064Or would he not approve of his ow ● unbelief, and say, why should I have trusted such a one?
A27064Or would their coming in make it, which was not before made?
A27064Or, Who was the faulty cause that it was not Published?
A27064Or, Why then should we hear that Prophet who was no Prophet to us?
A27064Rather then Jesus Christ as Redeemer?
A27064SOme think this Question whether Christ paid the Idem or Tantundem?
A27064Shall we say that is not so which we see to be so, because we can not find why it is so?
A27064Should a man in danger of Death do nothing for his own safety without a certainty of success?
A27064Should not the least hope of probability( much more so high a probability) be enough to excite men to seek the saving of their own lives?
A27064Sinner, Did you not tell me he satisfied only for the Elect, and that determined by name?
A27064So Paraeus expoundeth it; sed quomodo hoc faciendo Christum denuò crucifigunt sibimetipsis?
A27064Such Promises are not to all, nor Conditional: If they are, what is the Condition?
A27064That he hath himself performed the condition of the new Covenant?
A27064That is absolutely all?
A27064That it is not of the quality of the suffering that we enquire: Whether Christ suffered the same kind of pain, or loss that we should have suffered?
A27064That you may see I wrong them not, I will instance in one, learned, Holy Perkins: who hath writ more confidently against Universal Redemption then he?
A27064That''s true, it was one cause, but how follows the consequence?
A27064The General Question, Whether Christ Died for All Men, and not only for the Elect?
A27064The proclaiming and offer of Christ as Redeemer, and of mercy in and with him?
A27064The question is, Why these Men are not saved?
A27064The work of Preachers is, the Ministry of teconciliation: And wherein lies it?
A27064Then said the Lord of the Vineyard what shall I do?
A27064This will be no excuse to the refusers: what if God had only invited all, and compelled none?
A27064To you first God sent his Son Jesus to bless you, in turning every one of you from his Iniquities?
A27064VVas it any proof that he would not judge Unbelievers because he came not to judge but to save the Elect?
A27064What Law can require more then all?
A27064What Man then will believe that it was called Holy, meerly from the Peoples professing to be Holy?
A27064What can any creditor require, but the Idem, the very debt it self which the obligation did contain?
A27064What can be required more then all?
A27064What else is our distinction between Temporary Faith and saving?
A27064What hast thou which thou hast not received?
A27064What if he had suffered all to perish in their wilfulness?
A27064What if it had been otherwise?
A27064What is the Condition?
A27064What is the cause that almost all the World live in security never almost touched for their horrible Sins?
A27064What of that?
A27064What other price than Christs blood doth God buy men with?
A27064What will not the lust of contradicting persuade men to?
A27064What''s this to the point?
A27064When satisfaction to justice is unready?
A27064Where is it then that the force of the Argument lyeth that would prove that all must needs have Faith for whom Christ Died?
A27064Whether it be not for want of a right use of the means?
A27064Who art thou that disputest against God?
A27064Whose fault was it?
A27064Why do we intreat them to be reconciled to God?
A27064Why else may not we still use this Language, if it be true that it is the perpetual course of Scripture?
A27064Why should we be thankful to Christ for Redeeming us, when he did not at all redeem us, Should we be thankful for nothing?
A27064Will that justifie?
A27064Will they say that he Died for the Non- elect, if they will believe?
A27064Will you therefore deny one of them when both are plain?
A27064Would so many doubts be raised, whether he mean the whole Army or part?
A27064Would the New Covenant serve to pardon men without Christs Sacrifice and Satisfaction?
A27064Wretch that I am?
A27064Yea how can he urge any to rest on Christ at all?
A27064Yea what if I said that strictly and directly men suffer not at all the penalty of the Law of Works?
A27064Yes, it saith, He is the propitiation for the sins of the whole World?
A27064You''l say, but is it of the whole World?
A27064[ And will not an impartial Man ● ● en expound the same Phrase here in the ● ● me manner?
A27064against the Arrians; and must we give up that argument for nothing?
A27064all Elect to whom Paul speaks?
A27064and Christ a stumbling stone, and Rock of offence?
A27064and all such as I that never come to assurance?
A27064and doth he at the same time perswade People to believe, that they were sanctified by the Blood of the Covenant,& c. if it were not true?
A27064and for not believing in him to save them by his death, who never died for them?
A27064and for whom it was shed?
A27064and if he compel some, is that any wrong to the rest?
A27064and should we make light of that which lay so heavy on him?
A27064and to have said it was spoken but 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, because they professed it to be so?
A27064and will you by force of VVit thence prove that God made not all men?
A27064and ye scorners delight in scorning and fools hate knowledge?
A27064hath he not made thee and established thee?
A27064if we will receive him( this is commonly confest:) now how can there be a receiving or accepting without a giving?
A27064in many that fall away when Persecution ariseth?
A27064is not he thy Father that hath bought thee?
A27064must I need compulsion to accept of a Redeemer and Salvation with him?
A27064or only for those that came forth?
A27064or than if he had never died at all?
A27064or whether thou be one of those for whom Christ dyed?
A27064shall not the Judge of all the World do righteously?
A27064the effects of his dying for them, when he did not dye for them?
A27064to have the easiest place in Hell,& c. who dare say that none of all these are Mercies?
A27064we have marks given in Scripture to know by, whether we are the Children of God or no?
A27064whether by( Saviour) be not meant ▪( God the Father as the common preserver of his Creature, or of Mens natural lives)?
A27064who art thou that disputest against God?
A27064will not Conscience say another day, I perish justly, that would not be saved?
A27064would that have been any ease to any?
A27064yet did not God decree their not being so gathered?
A41644Am I such an one?
A41644And can we contemn such Enjoyments, without abominable Ingratitude?
A41644And may not this be feared by us, who have seen how hard it is to give acceptable counsel in these difficult and dangerous times?
A41644And now what sin can be greater, than to despise the means that are used to cure our bleeding wounds?
A41644And oh, how unspeakably strange is it, that we can forget him, who doth so much to be remembred?
A41644And shall kindness from sinful creatures make such impressions on our hearts, and the abounding goodness of the glorious God be disregarded?
A41644And shall we say, We did well to be proud and profane, to be drunkards and swearers?
A41644And shall we, to affront the Majesty of Heaven, belch out abominable Oaths, and account them as pleasing Ornaments of Language?
A41644And what are those?
A41644And what can be a more dreadful aggravation, than to have cause to say, Mercies are gone, God is departed, Enemies prevail?
A41644And what can be more reasonable, than to give God the glory of that, whereof we have the profit?
A41644And what inward trouble more heavy than this, to finde our hearts condemning of us, and to be clogg''d with the sense of abused Mercies?
A41644And what less canst thou give to God than this?
A41644And what was the design of all this favour?
A41644And who so wicked to conclude, that because God exercises patience, therefore they are no offenders?
A41644And will not the most refractory sinner be ready to come to terms of peace, at the receiving such kindness from the hand of God?
A41644And will not this be a bad exchange, to give our lives for theirs?
A41644Are Pride, Drunkenness, Sensuality, fit Votive Tables for our merciful escapes?
A41644Are not dreadful days approaching to us?
A41644Are not our sins worse than Sodoms, when our mercies are abundantly more than that enjoyed?
A41644Are there no instances to be found of a people preserved, delivered, as often as we, and at last the Writs of destruction were issued forth?
A41644Are they given to us by a new deliverance?
A41644Are we not sinners above all, that have favours beyond any?
A41644Are we now out of danger?
A41644Are we so prone to sin after Deliverance?
A41644Are ye not as the children of the AEthiopians unto me?
A41644Are ye now come unto me, when ye are in distress?
A41644As a holy man pleading with God about one Phocas made an Emperour, Cur Domine Phocam Imperatorem constituisti?
A41644Ask thy self, What good hath been done to God for all the good deeds he hath done for thee?
A41644But hath not a miscarrying Womb, and dry Breasts, been the Curse of the Lord upon us?
A41644But into what a large Field am I entring?
A41644But is there no hope ● that the consideration of delivering Mercies may over- power us from going on in our wicked courses?
A41644But now behold, his bowels wrought in him; he delivered us rebels, rescued us sinful wretches: and who can but lay to heart this mercy?
A41644But shall we be worse than the Ox or Ass, that know their Masters, and serve them?
A41644But shall we not fear the Hammer and Nail will cleave our Pates, when Sisera- like we are droll''d into sleep with a Lordly Dish of Butter and Honey?
A41644But when have we assembled to offer the sacrifice of praise to our God, for delivering us from the hands of our Enemies?
A41644But who can speak the dread of destruction, that unmixed anger involves a people in?
A41644But why should we cause the Lord to be so severe unto us?
A41644But will God suffer himself to b ● dared by worms?
A41644Can empty boastings of conceited ability to defend our selves, prevent the assaults of Enemies, or deliver our Land from the ruine designed?
A41644Can fancyed safety deliver our Nation from Enemies, when we have nothing else to secure us?
A41644Can our Hearts be so damnably obdurate, so insensibly hardned, as not to be melted by such an unexpected Deliverance as this?
A41644Can we pass by this Heavenly favour, without a pious inquiry into the gracious designs of our blessed God in bestowing of it?
A41644Can we then rob God of his due, without 〈 ◊ 〉 height of Injustice?
A41644Canst expect a good look, when thou lookest to him?
A41644Destruction for sinning after deliverance, will be the most dreadful destruction: what can be more clear than this, from the words of my Text?
A41644Did I not deliver you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites?
A41644Did the Almighty prolong our expiring Lives, to spend them thus?
A41644Do not I go on in sin?
A41644Do ye that despised my former Deliverance, come to me for another?
A41644Do ye thus requite the Lord, ye foolish people and unwise?
A41644Doth not thy Conscience accuse thee of thy regardlesness of it?
A41644Doth not thy heart smite thee, for not observing the Duties thou art oblig''d to by it?
A41644Every one to their power to shed bloud?
A41644For which of my good Works do you sin against me?
A41644For which of my good works do you stone me?
A41644God doth not hinder them; are they happy therefore?
A41644Had it not been a Destruction none like unto it?
A41644Had not Rome out- done its former Cruelties?
A41644Had not this dreadful day been a None- such?
A41644Hast thou not sinned the more against him, and turn''d his Grace into wantonness?
A41644Have we not cause to fear that dreadful word?
A41644Have we not sins of the greatest magnitude, who have mercies of the highest nature?
A41644He is ever heaping up Mercies, shall we sin against him?
A41644He that being often reproved, and still hardens his neck, shall be destroyed suddenly, and that without remedy?
A41644Hence then, what especial care should be used to reform our lives, and renew our repentance, lest our deliverance should be left unperfected?
A41644How are both private and publick Mercies buried in the Grave of Unthankfulness?
A41644How are we joyful when getting out of danger; but how little careful then are we to be getting out of sin?
A41644How can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
A41644How can I expect he will be prevail''d with to prolong my Life, when I have heapt up provocations, after his former prolongations of it?
A41644How can I longer walk with you?
A41644How can I think he will try me with further Mercies, who have been so unfaithful under those I received?
A41644How can a holy God bear this at our hands?
A41644How can a man lift up his face before God to desire a mercy, that hath turn''d his back upon God when he obtain''d a mercy?
A41644How can he go to God for fresh supplies of Mercy, who getting a mercy, hath gone away from God?
A41644How can our hearts endure, or our hands be strong, when all the Attributes of his glorious Majesty shall conspire together to make us miserable?
A41644How can the mercy of God be answered, if it be not owned?

A41644Shall we, to express how little we value his kindness, provoke the eyes of his Glory by Noon- day Drunkenness, Rioting, and Debaucheries?
A41644Should God in anger do it, what bloody confusion may follow in this nation?
A41644Should I thus lately experiencing mercy from God, manifest my self by wicked courses to be a rebellious Enemy to him?
A41644Should a man but save us from perishing, how grateful, how serviceable should we become unto him?

A41644That we can suffer his mercies to pass out of our mind, whose mercies are new every moment?
A41644The Lord will go on to deliver?
A41644The bricks are fallen down, we will build with stones; the sycomores are cut down, we will build with cedars?

A41644Therefore your goods shall become a booty, and your houses a desolation?
A41644They leaned upon God in ways of sin, and said, Is not the Lord among us?
A41644This verse contains a kinde of Expostulation that might be in God; Why should I save such a people as this?
A41644Thou seest many go on in sin, ask thy self, Am not I such an one?
A41644To lead them to it with delay, to bring them to it by degrees, and also with some pomp and splendour: but what is it they shall be brought forth to?

A41644We love man loving of us, and shall we not love a loving God?
A41644We slight his presence, abuse his kindness; can we think to be blest with his presence long?

A41644What hath been done to him for his delivering of thee?
A41644What have we done, but endeavoured to revenge our selves on the mercy of God that hath spared us?
A41644What have we given to the Lord, but a doubled measure of Impieties, for his doubled mercies?
A41644What have we more to secure us?
A41644What have we seen but unchanged conversations in our changed condition?
A41644What hopes now can we have, if persisting in sin after our many merciful escapes?
A41644What if the Lord should suffer them to mistake the means of our recovery, or fall short in what they do?
A41644What if their Counsels shall not have acceptance?
A41644What if their advice may seem unsafe, and others must needs be chosen?

A41644What was there but careless and senseless doings, when that dreadful Deluge surpriz''d the world of old?
A41644What would we have promis''d then, when no less than a whole Nation was languishing, and every Enjoyment ready to give up the Ghost?
A41644What, are you so impudent after all your unkindness to me, to seek kindness from me?
A41644What, do ye that have forsaken me so long, flee to me now?

A41644Who lays to heart the operations of his hands?
A41644Why Lord hast thou made Phocas an Emperour?
A41644Why should we make him be doing his works of Judgment, since he declares his unwillingness to it?
A41644Why should we not be made as Sodome by judgments, that parallel it in sins?
A41644Why then do we flatter our selves, and cry Peace, peace?
A41644Why will you blast all your hopes of escape, and wither that flower that''s springing up?
A41644Wi ● God exercis ● Mercy to his own disadvantage?
A41644Will a Master suffer a Servant to be engag''d in the work of another, when he hath hired him for his own?

A41644Will security in sin be sufficient guard to preserve us from all Conspiracies?
A41644Will this be a worthy deed, to spare a thief from the gallows to cut our throats?
A41644Will ye steal, and murder, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?
A41644Will you hate me, because I help you?
A41644Will you oppose me, because I appear so often for you?
A41644Will you rebel, because I relieve you?
A41644Will you tell the Lord, you are weary of his Mercies, and will never regard them?
A41644Wilt make nothing of displeasing God, when he gives thee such Mercies as all the men on Earth can not bestow upon thee?
A41644Wilt thou not fear God will tell thee, thy Prayer is an abomination?
A41644Wilt thou stab me?
A41644With what face can we trample on the just and sacred Commands of our merciful God, whilst he smiles upon us with such unmerited favours?
A41644With what terrour may we look on those words?
A41644Would Heathens offer to do such things to their feigned Gods, or offer such affronts unto them, could they but do such favours for them?
A41644Would not this be a heavy Judgment?
A41644Would not this be an unpardonable crime, and a means most infallibly to ruine us?

A41644Would you have promised these things, and will you not perform them?
A41644Wouldst thou not offend an earthly Friend, and wilt thou offend a heavenly Friend?
A41644You have his sense of danger, if sin was persisted in after such a deliverance; Wouldst thou not consume us?
A41644You whom I have so deliver''d?
A41644You whom I have so often preserved, shall I meet with these dealings from you?
A41644and may not God justly leave us to ruine, and suffer our destruction who deal thus unanswerably with him?
A41644and ruining one another by unhappy Divisions?
A41644and what else is our persistence in sin, but a testimony of our allowance of it?
A41644and what may we thank but our pride and profaneness, our ingratitude and ungodliness, after obliging mercies?
A41644and will not our sins in the abundance of mercies, make him destroy both us and our King?
A41644are we out of his reach, that we fea ● no ruine?
A41644but thus prone are we to abuse goodness, and ready to slight the greatest kindness: how often do we turn our Physick to poison?
A41644but when nothing is successful, mercy gives over; and what but intolerable vengeance will then lye upon us?
A41644can neither God nor man do us any harm, whilst we imagine our selves out of danger?
A41644can we match him with equa ● forces?
A41644can you daunt his unalterable courage?
A41644can you hold the Almighties hands, or lay bonds on his judgments, that they shall not destroy you Will God suffer his creatures to insult ove ● him?
A41644could you bear such undervaluing of kindness from fellow- Creatures?
A41644dare you declare they deserve no obedience?
A41644do we not profess him, and worship him?
A41644filling our Land with the hateful noise of our crying Iniquities, when God hath fill''d it with the blessed sounds of unspeakable Mercies?
A41644have we not been driving God away from us; as weary of his Ordinances, tired with Gospel- proffers, nauseating Mercies, and despising Deliverances?
A41644how do we enjoy mercies, and never improve them?
A41644how do we surfeit with mercies, and wax sick with the kindness of Heaven, and yet say, It shall be well with us?
A41644how then can God from you?
A41644let your Conscience speak, would not this be horrid Blasphemy?
A41644or will not these showers of mercy suddenly ripen it?
A41644shall I not be avenged on such a Nation as this?
A41644shall all these things have no notice taken of them?
A41644shall they all be dis- regarded?
A41644shall we not then have his judgments, and feel his vengeance?
A41644their highest, chiefest, most notorious si ● was at Gilgal; why there?
A41644to have innumerable iniquities crying for judgments, and none to plead for them?
A41644to have invincible enemies opposing of them, and none to assist them?
A41644to have the glorious Gospel continued amongst us?
A41644to mischief his Honour with his Mercies?
A41644we read the wicked prosper; why are they not stopt in their courses?
A41644we weary man, but will ye weary God also?
A41644what displeasing Lust have I unfeignedly left?
A41644what price would they give to be free from pain?
A41644what spiritual Obedience have I closed withal, since I enjoyed this unspeakable Mercy?
A41644when shall it ● nce be?
A41644when that Embassador that was wo nt to prevail for a gracious Treaty, shall be denyed?
A41644when that omnipotent engine can attract no compassions?
A41644when that successful friend shall be denyed admittance to the Court of Heaven?
A41644where shall we have supplies, if our former store- house be shut up?
A41644which of us hath not suffered Divine Favours to slip out of our minds?
A41644whither can we turn, when he turneth away our prayers?
A41644why should it not be burnt?
A41644will not the vials of wrath be unspeakably full, and the storm of vengeance most horrible, which hath been so long in gathering?
A41644will this always continue?
A41644will you say''t is not worth while to leave sinning for these?
A41644— Seeing thou hast given us such a deliverance as this, should we again break thy commandment?
A41644— Wouldst not thou be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor escaping?
A41644— Wouldst thou not be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us?
A41644〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 parcam: how shall I spare thee any longer?
A64642& c. What hast thou that thou hast not received from his bountiful hand?
A64642( i. e.) whether there be any justification at all or no?
A646421 Knowledge, that''s a thing requisite: Why?
A646422: But suppose thou prevent everlasting death by repentance, yet what profit is there of those things whereof we are now for the present ashamed?
A646423. saith, There shall be perillous times: And wherein lieth the peril?
A646429. that included himself in the number of the offenders, though he had no hand in the offence: O our God( saith he) what shall we say?
A64642A blow lighting on Gods fellow, equal with God, of what value is it?
A64642A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, untill he send forth judgment unto victory?
A64642A cursed and desperate Doctrine they conclude hence: Why( say they) may not this man be saved as well as the best?
A64642A dead man then hath his walk you see: a strange thing in the dead, but who directs him in his course?
A64642A man now in this estate is weigh''d down, what will he be six, seven, or ten years hence, going on in his impenitency?
A64642A pair of turtle doves or two young Pigeons: But was this the Law?
A64642Again, how comes this peace to wicked men?
A64642And again, Do we not say, well, thou art a Samaritan, that is, a Heretick?
A64642And are not our proceedings in Judiciary Courts after this manner?
A64642And by this means we fall into the temptation of Eve, a questioning whether Gods threats are true or not?
A64642And for a man to be brought before Gods Judgment- seat, and have nothing to answer, how will it fare with him then?
A64642And here may some say, is there any of us who can avouch that he eats and drinks at the Lords Table worthily?
A64642And how doth he take his Priest- hood upon him?
A64642And it is the more dangerous; for who is in more danger then he that is blind and will be blind?
A64642And may not God say the like to us?
A64642And may one fasten comfort on one in such a condition, on a dead man?
A64642And remission of sinnes hath relation to those that are past, as appears by inevitable reason; for what is remission of sinnes, but sinne covered?
A64642And shall this serve to excuse thee, by comparing thy self with others that are worse?
A64642And the drift of the place is this, when the Spirit shall come, how?
A64642And this is made a point of faith: Believest thou this?
A64642And this kinde of justification must of necessity be by imputation: why?
A64642And was not this a shame thus to be stripped before thousands?
A64642And what impudency is it in them to go about to cut off that which is the whole comfort of a Christian?
A64642And what is the reason?
A64642And what is the second death?
A64642And why should we suffer Satan to abuse us thus?
A64642And ye, wherein ye walked,& c. But who are they?
A64642Are there any common graces and natural endowments in the miserable soul?
A64642Art thou a Minister?
A64642Art thou faln into sin?
A64642As Philip told the Eunuch, if thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest: If with the heart: but with what faculties may you say?
A64642As appeares in Hezekiah, who though he were a good man, yet with how sad a heart doth he entertain the message of death?
A64642As long as thou continuest in a course of rebellion, what hast thou to do to talk of peace?
A64642As when a Scholar is whip''t for not saying his lesson, is he whip''t think you for nothing?
A64642At his Fathers Trade, I say, for so it s said of him, Is not this the Carpenter?
A64642Awake thou that sleepest,& c. Unless this awaken us, in what case are we?
A64642Because I do something that God requires, shall I think I do as much as I need?
A64642But O Sir, you are a great Patron of free- will: What?
A64642But can there be a greater sin then the sin of Sodome?
A64642But did God leave these Jewels amongst men to be trodden under feet by such swine; shall they not dearly pay for it?
A64642But doth God justifie the ungodly?
A64642But doth this Lamb of God take away all the sins of the world?
A64642But how is it with thee?
A64642But how?
A64642But if it be so, I ask such, What is the benefit and advantage of the Jew more then the Gentile?
A64642But if this be so grievous, what is it to lose Heaven?
A64642But is there not a third thing that the work of the Ministry must do?
A64642But may some say, I have tryed and examined my self, and I do not finde that Christ is in me; what am I a reprobate therefore?
A64642But may some say, what needs this haste, may we not use leisure?
A64642But now cometh a greater question; If by justification our sinnes be forgiven us, what sinnes are forgiven I pray?
A64642But now what parts hath justification in it?
A64642But now when I am come thither, what do I say there?
A64642But now you will say, when I have sinned afterward, how come I then to be justified?
A64642But now, where are we thus shut up?
A64642But then again, when thou art thus pulled asunder, what becomes of the parts separated?
A64642But then what need a man look for a great faith?
A64642But this forgivenesse of sinnes, what doth it free us from?
A64642But what is my actual election?
A64642But what is sinne nothing?
A64642But what is the remedy of this fear?
A64642But what is this second death?
A64642But what needs such haste, I may do it hereafter, when I come to my journeys end?
A64642But what shall I get by him, then saith the wife?
A64642But what then?
A64642But what was the end of their doing thus?
A64642But what was the reason hereof?
A64642But what''s become of the soul now?
A64642But what''s the answer?
A64642But what''s the reason men should thus stand more in fear of men then of God?
A64642But what, did God care for these things?
A64642But when we come thither, what must we do?
A64642But which is that day?
A64642But who should this man be?
A64642But why should Christians be so foolish, so troubled?
A64642But why should God select this vertue among others that are more noble?
A64642But why then do I pray for it?
A64642But with whom is this peace?
A64642By his knowledge shall my righteous servant justifie many: Knowledge is an Act primarily requisite to Faith?
A64642By the way then take notice ▪ of the filthinesse of sinne; how filthy is it, that the Lord compares it to the vomit of a dog?
A64642By whose means?
A64642Can I shew that there is any such humiliation as this?
A64642Can any sin be so great as to over- top the value of Christs blood?
A64642Can it be expected that we should have our good in this world, and in the world to come too?
A64642Can they make any impression?
A64642Can you offer God a greater wrong and indignity?
A64642Canst thou but humble thy self?
A64642Canst thou have a better word from thy Prince then this?
A64642Canst thou think there is no more required but onely the outward Baptism, or that there is no more in Baptism but the outward washing of the flesh?
A64642Consider the particulars of it, he took on him the form of a servant; Was not this a great humiliation?
A64642Cut down this fruitlesse tree, why cumbers it the ground?
A64642Despisest thou the riches of Gods grace, not knowing that the long- suffering of God leadeth to repentance?
A64642Despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance?
A64642Despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long- suffering?
A64642Did Christ suffer the pains and torments of Hell?
A64642Did not you tell me that it was not every faith that did justifie, but a working faith?
A64642Do we think God is not in earnest with us?
A64642Do you t ● ● ● k it a small matter to be the Kings son?
A64642Do you think the members of the body, which have been the instruments, shall escape?
A64642Do you thus requite the Lord you foolish and unwise?
A64642Do you thus requite the Lord?
A64642Does God at the first Preaching of the Gospel begin with Adam by Preaching Christ, before he saw his sin and wickednesse?
A64642Doest thou not fear, I say, that dismal sentence, cut it down, why combreth it the ground?
A64642Dost thou finde in thy self an hungring and thirsting after Christ?
A64642Dost thou harden thy heart?
A64642Dost thou see the wine poured out?
A64642Dost thou think God will take this at thy hands?
A64642Dost thou think a dead faith can make a living soule?
A64642Dost thou think he will drink the dregs, and eat the orts?
A64642Dost thou think this the way to make thy peace with God whom thou hast offended, as long as thou mayst to be a rebel against him?
A64642Dost thou( saith God) lift thy self up against him before whom all the powers of Heaven do tremble?
A64642Doth not he injoine us to do it?
A64642Doth the God of love teach us hatred?
A64642Every word is as it were a thunder- bolt: and was it not time, when it was thus with them for God to bring a flood?
A64642Exaltest thou thy self against him who inhabiteth Eternity?
A64642Examine then, what need have I to eat my meat and drink?
A64642Examine thy self then, does the working of the Word rub and gall thee?
A64642Faith when it comes, empties thee of all that is in thee: To whom be the Gospel preached?
A64642Fear not, why?
A64642First, Against the first Table, they accuse him of Blasphemy, and therefore condemn him in the Ecclesiastical Court: Do you hear his Blasphemy?
A64642First, he enlightens me, and so he is made unto me wisdome; well, he is my Priest; how so?
A64642First, in this life he is alwayes a dying man: Man that is born of a woman, what is he?
A64642For what is the glory we shall have in heaven but the inlargement of those inherent graces God begins in this world?
A64642Get?
A64642Go offer such a gift to thy Ruler, to thy Prince, will he accept it, or be pleased with it?
A64642God hath given thee an express command to the contrary, and yet hast thou done this?
A64642God justifieth, who shall condemn?
A64642God will not like with it, when we serve our selves first with the best and choise?
A64642God would have me renew my acts of faith; and if of faith, why not of repentance, and of prayer?
A64642Had he taken the form of a King upon him, it h ● d been a great humiliation; how much more, when he took on him the form of a servant?
A64642Hast thou no Will to Christ?
A64642Hast thou then a faith that causeth thee to love God, a working faith, and a faith that will not suffer thee to do any thing displeasing to him?
A64642Hath Christ knocked, and thou hast given him a slievelesse answer, and hast thou joy?
A64642He cryed, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A64642He held fast to God; Why hast thou forsaken me?
A64642He might stand upon his priviledge: Of whom do the Kings of the earth exact Tribute?
A64642He said unto me, what seest thou?
A64642How am I made partaker of Christs Prophetical office?
A64642How can it be?
A64642How cometh it to pass that we are so careless of death?
A64642How did God take away his judgment?
A64642How doth he gather this from his crying?
A64642How is Christs righteousnesse imputed to me?
A64642How many motions to good hast thou rejected?
A64642How must this be done?
A64642How then could this threatning hold true?
A64642How will he then shake that off, which now he can not free himself of?
A64642How?
A64642I am required, may some say, to be a new man, a new Creature, to lead a new life: I must alter my course: and is not this a great clog and burthen?
A64642I counsel thee to buy of me gold tryed in the fire: Why?
A64642I gave thee other gifts of mind, how didst thou imploy them?
A64642I had need to speak of this, for there is want of the exercises of faith; is it enough think you to have faith once exercised?
A64642I say, how can I be justified in the first sense any other way than by imputation?
A64642I say, no doubt but he may; and why?
A64642I should now come and descend unto the dependence one hath on the other:( i. e.) in what respect doth faith justifie?
A64642I take away the ill office you did me: Doth he forgive thus?
A64642If a man put away his Wife, and she go from him, shall he return unto her again?
A64642If a man should ask, may I love my Neighbour?
A64642If a man should take the excrements of a beast to adorn himself, would not we think him an ass?
A64642If another man should look on you both, would he not account thee partial?
A64642If he see thy sins, and would fain come in, what an encouragement hast thou to open?
A64642If it be a free gift why is faith required?
A64642If one bear holy flesh,& c. shall he be unclean?
A64642If the bare acceptation of Christ with a trembling hand will not make thee sure, what canst thou have more than the bare receiving of a gift by faith?
A64642If the son of a temporary Prince be free, how much more shall the Son of God be free?
A64642If this be the esteem and worth of David, what is the worth of Davids Prince?
A64642If thou say, I have done my best; and what, would you have a man doe more then he can doe?
A64642If thou wilt not let him in, is it not good reason that( as in the Canticles) he with- draw himself?
A64642If thus with a King ▪ what with the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords?
A64642If you offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not an evil?
A64642If you offer the lame and sick, is it not evil?
A64642If you stop your ears, who can help it?
A64642In a mans first conversion there are but beginnings of grace; what is faith, hope, patience and fear?
A64642In deaths often?
A64642In like manner may some say touching the Ministry of the Word; May not I read a good Sermon at home with as much profit?
A64642In respect of our selves; To the end the promise might be sure to the seed; what is the reason why people doubt and think nothing sure?
A64642Is faith an instrument to work justification, or to receive it only?
A64642Is it love doth constrain thee?
A64642Is it not need to make haste( when the pursuer of blood follows) to the City of Refuge?
A64642Is not this evil, saith the Lord, to offer me such a corrupt thing?
A64642Is there any moral vertue?
A64642Is there any now in this congregation who is so hard- hearted, as to refuse such a gift as this?
A64642Is there any profit or delight in breathing forth blasphemies?
A64642Is there any such necessity of it?
A64642Is there no Physitian there?
A64642Is there no balme in Gilead?
A64642Is there not required a condition of faith, and a condition of obedience?
A64642Is ● t fit to take the childrens bread, and cast it unto dogs?
A64642It is fit every man should know this; This part is only for this end, that it may awaken us, otherwise to what purpose do we preach unto you?
A64642It s a great fault to bind a Citizen of Rome and a Gentleman, what is it to beat him?
A64642It''s a day of salvation, and would not we be glad to know this time?
A64642It''s said in the Canticles, honey is under the lips of the Church; why so?
A64642Its Jobs Metaphor: Job in his passion saith, Is my strength the strength of stones?
A64642Know you not your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
A64642Let him that hath common understanding judge, Do we forgive our neighbours by extinguishing sinne in the subject?
A64642Look therefore to thy peace; is it such a peace as thou hast never found any conflict, any stirring, striving betwixt the strong man and the weak?
A64642Lord, Why art thou so angry with me?
A64642Mark the ● postle, How shall they call on him, on whom they have not believed?
A64642Mark then: what''s a hard heart?
A64642Mark what''s the judgement he eats: why this?
A64642Mark, the Apostle would have Gods Ministers to be humble and meek; but how many are of other spirits?
A64642May not a young man die soon?
A64642May there not be actual rejection as well as actual election?
A64642My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A64642Nay, what shall we think of hell, when the King of Heaven shall command it to be heated seventy times seven times hotter then before?
A64642Never forget that place while you live: it s the close of Gods H. Book, and the sealing up of his Holy Book: What''s that?
A64642No Will to salvation?
A64642Now Bellarmine saith, this can not be; but doth he dispute against our opinion?
A64642Now all their thoughts were evil: What, was there no kind of goodnesse in their thoughts?
A64642Now another thing is, Who is this peace- maker?
A64642Now can a thing be covered before it be?
A64642Now doth that hinder the freeness of the gift, to say, you must take it?
A64642Now how can we avoid Gods being the Author of sin?
A64642Now how shall this man that is guilty of murder and adultery, be made just?
A64642Now if it be thus in the point of election, what must we think of the point of reprobation?
A64642Now is it safe think you to pass this day?
A64642Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say?
A64642Now our Saviour, notwithstanding after he had travelled that weary journey to Jerusalem, must return again, and be subject to his Parents: but how?
A64642Now some proportion there might be between David and the drunkards, Job and these men; but between thee and God what proportion can there be?
A64642Now that he ascended, what is it, but that he descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
A64642Now the just shall live by faith; What is that?
A64642Now what is a new creature?
A64642Now what is repentance?
A64642Now what madness is it to neglect it?
A64642Now you will ask, Is there not an earnest and good desire in a temporary faith, a desire unfeign''d?
A64642Now, how could this assumption hold, if imputation of righteousnesse, and remission of sinnes were two distinct acts?
A64642O Ephraim, saith the Lord, what shall I do unto thee?
A64642O Judah what shall I do unto thee?
A64642O Judah, what shall I do unto thee?
A64642Offer it now unto thy governor, will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person, saith the Lord of hosts?
A64642Oh what a vexation will this be to the damned when they shall see others in heaven, and themselves shut out of door?
A64642On the contrary, how exceeding terrible will it be to be shut out from the presence of God?
A64642Open house- keeping, special invitations, Entreaties and Beseechings?
A64642Our evil deeds,& c. and how shall we stand before thee because of this?
A64642Seest thou how faith wrought with his works and by his works was faith made perfect?
A64642Shall God offer you such a proffer, and you be so presumptuous as to think such a one more seasonable?
A64642Shall a sick man be so mad as to say he is well, because others say so?
A64642Shall it be accounted a point of precisenesse to walk in this way, or a soul- torturing doctrine to preach it?
A64642Shall we look to goe to heaven in a way that was never yet found out?
A64642Should any of us be cast into a fire, what a terrible torment would we account it?
A64642Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellow- servant, as I had pity on thee?
A64642So God saith, Wilt thou have my Sonne?
A64642So should a poor soul come, and say to me, may I believe?
A64642So that we find the reason added in the Text, The Scripture concludes all under sin, why?
A64642So we have peace, but with whom is it?
A64642So, art thou a wicked deboist person?
A64642Suppose now I am not fill''d with Christ, What am I without him?
A64642Suppose there should come upon this man a fit of devotion, where he hath or should have some good motions, is it then accepted?
A64642That he is born and given, what''s that to us?
A64642That is, if he bring it not with a wicked mind, it is an abomination, how much more with it?
A64642That place taken out of the Psalm, I am come to do thy Will O God,& c. What, was it only in his active obedience?
A64642That the second person in the Trinity should stoop so low as to take on him the nature of one who is not worth the looking on?
A64642That''s a promise: But is it possible that teares should be wiped from our eyes before we shed them?
A64642The King when he was in France, went for an attendant on the Duke, and is he troubled at it?
A64642The Question is, What must I do in this case, what incouragement shall I have in my rags?
A64642The man that is my fellow?
A64642The question is now, whether you will choose Christ and life, or sin and death?
A64642The spirit of bondage, what is that?
A64642The very sinner against the Holy Ghost is invited; and why is that unpardonable?
A64642Then said Haggai, if an unclean person touch any of these, shall it be unclean?
A64642Then was the Lamb to be killed: By whom?
A64642Then''t is call''d superfluity of naughtinesse: But what, is there any naughtinesse to be born with?
A64642There''s nothing but goodnesse, infinite goodnesse in him, and canst thou find in thy heart to sin against so good a God?
A64642There''s the matter, whether God must wait on us, or we on him?
A64642Therefore cast away your sins, and make you a new heart and a new spirit, for why will you die?
A64642Therefore what infidelity is it not to be assured of it?
A64642These are the two priviledges that a justified man hath; he hath a gracious accesse unto God; Suppose he be in a fault,( as who is not?)
A64642They have wit enough, and can talk of Religion fast enough; but where is the obedience is required?
A64642They that have a temporary faith want nothing but the new creature; what''s that?
A64642They were pricked to the heart, and then they cried out, Men and brethren, what shall we do to be saved?
A64642They will in their affliction seek me early: was not this a fair returning?
A64642Thinkst thou that God makes use of threatnings for thy hurt?
A64642This I shall but touch: We have peace with God: But how?
A64642This bondage is a deadly bondage, that when we have done all that we can doe, what''s the payment of the service?
A64642This death, what doth it?
A64642This is a great encouragement; but it may be God will not alwayes do this, and what''s the reason?
A64642This is very true, but what is that to him?
A64642This makes them cry out, What shall we doe?
A64642This we think strange, what, thoughts defile a man?
A64642Thou art worth ten thousand of us: they would not hazzard the person of the King in the battel, Why?
A64642Thou base wretch, dost thou thin ● Heaven a place for thee?
A64642Thou must account all things as dung and drosse in comparison of him: and is not this a difficult thing?
A64642Thou that carest not for the knowledge of Gods wayes, what hast thou to do to take his Word into thy mouth, to tread in his Courts?
A64642Thou whisperest in the Priests eare; what if he never tell it, or if he do, art thou the better?
A64642Though he thus repent, shall he escape?
A64642Thy faith then must be a faith that worketh by love; can''st thou do those good works thou doest out of love?
A64642To entreaty is added Gods Command, and therefore if thou shalt argue, what warrant have I to believe?
A64642Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he offered up Isaac on the Altar?
A64642Was not this a great conversion?
A64642We are thus let loose, cleansed and freed; but how?
A64642Well then, art thou under the Law?
A64642Well then, doest thou think thy sinnes are forgiven thee; and that thou hast a strong faith, and yet art as prophane and as filthy as ever?
A64642Well, because there are worse paymasters, and he himself hath been a worse, doth this make him a better now?
A64642What a wonderful comfort is this?
A64642What an extream burthen would it be to us to be so long in the womb, and in ripe understanding?
A64642What can we look for, but the fig- trees curse which was barren?
A64642What canst thou tell what may then become of thee?
A64642What did their faith to them?
A64642What doth then new sinnes do?
A64642What folly is it to rest upon a good report from men, when I have it not from the truth?
A64642What fruit had you then in those things whereof you are now ashamed?
A64642What gain and profit is there in our blood?
A64642What high presumption is this?
A64642What is Gods election to me, that he chooses the godly, and refuses the wicked?
A64642What is sin?
A64642What is that to the purpose?
A64642What is the Object?
A64642What is the benefit of Christ?
A64642What is the exceeding greatness of his power to us ward that believe,& c. Mark, is to believe so easie a matter think you?

A64642What though then we are sick to death?
A64642What though we have provoked God to indignation, must we be the matter for his wrath to work on?

A64642What, can we think these are fables?
A64642What, hast thou done it, as if thou wouldst do it on purpose to cross God?
A64642What, is the shooing of the feet a part of the armour?
A64642What, oppose thy self, a base creature, to Almighty God thy Creator?

A64642When the Sunne shines, and its rayes come in, what a number of motes do we discover, which before we saw not?
A64642When these things are past, what profit will you have of those things whereof then you will be ashamed?
A64642When we come to talk of death, how doth it amaze us?
A64642Whence comes this?
A64642Where in times past ye walked according to the course of the world, according& c. Assoon as God leaves a man, what a fearful company assail him?

A64642Why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
A64642Why then should I trouble my self any further?
A64642Why was this?
A64642Why will ye die?
A64642Why will you die?

A64642Why?
A64642Why?
A64642Why?
A64642Why?
A64642Why?
A64642Will Christ offer violence to the Will, and draw a man against his Will?

A64642Wilt thou come unto me?
A64642Wilt thou have my Son?
A64642Wilt thou have my Son?
A64642Wilt thou have this man to be thy husband?
A64642Wilt thou yield unto me?
A64642Would you know what it is to glorifie God in this world?
A64642You have now three words to make a man of an Unbeliever, a Believer: Is there, or can there be more then these?
A64642You that have abused your learning and gifts that God hath given you, do you think that they shall go with you to hell?
A64642and do you account this free?
A64642and what exceeds that, is it superfluity?
A64642and what not, did they not after this manner use* Christ and his Apostles before them?
A64642and with thy self, that because thou hast mended thy self in some particulars, therefore thou art in the way to Heaven?
A64642are we stronger than he?
A64642bad we are indeed: but dead, rotten, and stinking in sins and trespasses?
A64642be rais''d, and cast into hell to no purpose?
A64642because if there be a Remedy able to cure a mans disease: if he do not know it, what is he the better for it?
A64642blot out mine iniquities,& c. saith David; can a thing be blotted out, before it''s written?
A64642but Whether it justifieth at all?
A64642but Whether there be any such thing as justification or no?
A64642by the Law of works?
A64642do you think he will accept it at your hands?
A64642does our weaknesse make Gods strength more perfect, to which nothing can be added?
A64642doth it all lie in a mans Will: Will you make the matter of taking Christ lie there?
A64642false Prophets?
A64642firebrands of hell?
A64642how do they aggravate the depth of his humiliation?
A64642how shall the body choose but suffer too?
A64642how should the message be done, and fulfilled?
A64642how then doth faith alone justifie?
A64642how unworthy art thou of that high favour, if thou fear man?
A64642how will he torment thee?
A64642in how desperate and wretched a case will thy soul and body be?
A64642is any so presumptuous to say, that he is worthy to eat Christs flesh, and drink his blood?
A64642is it meant that he had taken away his wits?
A64642is this an easie task?
A64642it is excluded; by what Law?
A64642must we be the subjects of Gods wrath?
A64642no, it is so far from being accepted, that it is an Abomination to God, how much more then if he brings it with a wicked mind?
A64642of Baptism?
A64642of Faith?
A64642of the Church?
A64642of the Sacrament of the Lords Supper?
A64642of works?
A64642or is my flesh brass?
A64642quoties& Religio& timor( illo concionante) auditorum animos subierunt?
A64642shall I peece and devide the heart, when the whole is required?
A64642shall not that land be greatly polluted?
A64642sinnes past, or sinnes to come?
A64642suffered a while the vessels prepared to destruction?
A64642that positive thing which expels the other?
A64642that thou shouldst not only look upon him, but take him up,& make him an inmate under thine own roof?
A64642that we are so full of infidelity, that when the word of God saith, Thou shalt die Ahimelech, we are not at all moved by it?
A64642there is not so much wretchedness in the heart of man, as there is Grace, Goodness and Merit in Christ; but then it is unpardonable, Why?
A64642thou mayst say, I am afraid that God will not be friends with me; why?
A64642to defer and desire a longer time?
A64642to sins past alone, or to sinnes past and to come?
A64642to what end is that?
A64642was it not to shew his mourning for the death of its Maker?
A64642what a sinful man, and no sinne?
A64642what becomes of thy soul then?
A64642what comfort hath he by it, unless the King make him an offer to come,& take freely for his discharge?
A64642what is it that makes all these as so many deaths unto us but sin?
A64642what is that, untill he send forth judgment?
A64642what needs all this stirre?
A64642what should we do then?
A64642what to crucifie him?
A64642what when there is search made for sinne in such a man, shall it not be found?
A64642what''s that?
A64642what''s the reason the children of God do so disquiet themselves?
A64642what, as bad as the world, the devil, and flesh can make us?
A64642what, children of wrath?
A64642what, neglect Christ so much, as not to adventure on the tryal?
A64642what, so light a matter as a thought?
A64642when God shall say, avaunt hence, whip out this dog, what doth he here?
A64642when I must crucifie lusts, mortifie Passions,& c. Is this free when a man must renounce his own Will?
A64642where there are additions, The prayers of the wicked are an abomination to the ● ord: how much more when he brings it with a wicked mind?
A64642who would make delays and demurs, and not run as fast as his legs would carry him?
A64642whom the Angels do adore?
A64642why thinkest thou on peace, when thou art the chief rebel?
A64642why, he that hath such a faith as works by love: not a dead faith, but a faith that works: but how does it work?
A64642will he accept thee in the next world, when thou thus scornest him here?
A64642will it satisfie the Creditor, or discharge the debt?
A64642wilt thou despise him, and think he''l not despise thee?
A64642would you have Christ the wife, and you the husband?
A64642would you not think him a fool?
A47509''T is far below your noble extract thus To stand amaz''d; is there no pow''r in us, For to revive our scattered force?
A47509''T was I which did thy being to thee give: How many Subjects dost each day receive From me and mine?
A47509''t is a thing more worth than all the rest: How, how can then the value be exprest?
A47509A Box of Ointment''s worth, in thy esteem, Three hundred pence; and dost thou value him Not to amount in worth''bove the Tenth part?
A47509A glorious Crown and Kingdom to forsake, That he his bed might on a Dunghil make?
A47509A sweet is,( What?)
A47509Accus''d as guilty of some grievous fact, Who thoughtst no Evil, none didst ever act?
A47509Again, what''s Sin?
A47509Again, what''s Sin?
A47509Again, what''s sin?
A47509Ah doth thy hardned Brow, Not made at first to wrinkle, wrinkle now?
A47509Alas, saith Reason, do not all men sin?
A47509And all this for a Creature poor and vile, A Traiterous Vagabond, and in Exile?
A47509And art thou such a fool to hug a Snake, And in thy breast such great provision make, That it may harbour there both day and night?
A47509And bring a blot for ever on thy name?
A47509And by, what means shall his dear Blood be shed?
A47509And can one think, if the Disciples durst Attempt that thing, they should have stript him first?
A47509And darest thou, O Soul, conceal this Foe?
A47509And did I bear it all for love to thee?
A47509And dost thou love to play with such a thing?
A47509And dost thou think thou shalt escape this fate?
A47509And doth the Son i''th midst of Enemies Yield up himself to be a Sacrifice?
A47509And how came she into so sad a Case, That once adorned was with so much Grace?
A47509And ignorant be when guilty of high Treason?
A47509And is thy mind on folly wholly bent?
A47509And may not all this thy Love to me procure?
A47509And must I still be kept out of thy door?
A47509And my celestial Kingdom leave for thee?
A47509And sensual Objects harbour''d in thy heart?
A47509And shall I be unfaithful unto thee?
A47509And shall I''gainst my fancy foolishly admire, Where I no beauty see to tempt desire?
A47509And shall not I lament, nor shed a Tear?
A47509And those be kill''d Which so much pleasure unto me afford?
A47509And unto him wilt thou no kindness show?
A47509And were my feet and hands nail''d to the Tree, Whilst my dear Father hid his Face from me?
A47509And what Creature is this must have possession Of such a glorious Heart?
A47509And who can pity thee?
A47509And wilt not thou learn wisdom Soul, from thence?
A47509And wilt thou dandle sin still on thy knee?
A47509Are Thirty pence enough?
A47509Are all her Merchandize but empty toys?
A47509Art dark?
A47509Art thou beleaguer''d?
A47509Art thou likewise brought down unto my feet?
A47509Art thou, Apollyon, such a wretched Sot?
A47509Awake, why do I sleep?
A47509Away he goes, resolv''d the work to do: A work, Lord, did I say?
A47509BUT to proceed, Will you lift up your Eyes, And view the Rage of Hellish Enemies?
A47509Besides all this, much more I have to boast: Which of the Champions of thy Earthly Host Have I not overcome, and put to flight?
A47509Besides, were they asleep, how could they tell What things there came to pass, or what befell?
A47509But here t is like some may desire to know The cause why he abas''d himself so low?
A47509But it is gone?
A47509But some may ask, Why th''people of that Land Did rise against him thus on every hand?
A47509But some''t is like may ask a question here, Unto what Parts or Region did he steer?
A47509But tell me, if it may n''t too tedious prove, Whether this Prince that manifests such Love, Knew her sad state when he came from above?
A47509But thus''t was not with the blest Prince of Light; What can be hid from Great Jehovah''s sight?
A47509But to proceed — how can my spirits hold?
A47509But what if Judgment says it must not be, Nor Truth nor Conscience with us will agree?
A47509But what was Jonathan ● s great love to this?
A47509But where is she, and what is her Estate?
A47509But why didst thou into a Garden go Thus to encounter with the hellish Foe?
A47509But why, said I, distrest?
A47509But will you hear How things are carry''d, how they manag''d are?
A47509But wilt thou view the wound That''s made in me?
A47509But, how was he expos''d, what did they do?
A47509Ca n''t strength subdue?
A47509Ca n''t subtilty deceive?
A47509Can I believe things''bove my sense and reason?
A47509Can Infinite Perfections be exprest?
A47509Can any joy and sweetness be like this?
A47509Can any think the God o''th Universe Would be unfaithful, as to change the course Of Nature, meerly to assert a Lye?
A47509Can the great Prince of Earth and Heaven feel Such heavy strokes, as thus to make him reel?
A47509Can the kind Heavens do a damage greater, Than to destroy and ruin their poor Creature?
A47509Can thine imperfect Righteousness to come, Discharge of by- past ills, so vast a sum?
A47509Can this be so?
A47509Can worldly Comforts raise thee to such bliss?
A47509Can''st thou dost think, God''s fearful vengeance bear?
A47509Canst be so vile, so impudent, and base?
A47509Christ is the Judge, And to repeat his Sentence who can grudge?
A47509Come from his Father''s Bosom where he lay, To be the Wolves and Dragons chiefest prey?
A47509Could Devils offer God a worse Disgrace?
A47509Could man or Angel ev''r have born all this, And not have been cast down to th''deepst Abyss?
A47509Could none keep out the light?
A47509Could not that charming, Melody above, Allure thy thoughts and, hinder thy remove?
A47509Dar''st, dar''st adventure still to live in Sin?
A47509Delays are dangerous, Devils well know that: But why need they Grim Satan instigate?
A47509Destroy my Pow''r, and tread my Kingdom down?
A47509Did Abraham''s Servant readily comply With his Command with great''st fidelity?
A47509Did I Man''s humane nature freely take?
A47509Did I engage the cruel''st of all Foes?
A47509Did I from men and Devils meet with blows?
A47509Did I my bed in a poor Manger make?
A47509Did I not suffer to dissolve the knot Between thee and all Lust?
A47509Did I such kind of tortures undergoe Which men nor Angels ca n''t conceive or know?
A47509Did Wrath pursue, and Justice fall on me?
A47509Did ever Lover go so far from Home To seek a Spouse?
A47509Did ever creature deal thus by a Lover, Or ever such inhumaneness discover?
A47509Did he not gripe thee sorely for thy pain?
A47509Did not Rebeck ● yiel''d, and chuse to go With Abram''s servant?
A47509Did, did I love thee from Eternity?
A47509Didst thou, sweet Lord, my heavy burthen bear?
A47509Do Mortals ever greater love extend, Then to lay down their lives for a dear Friend?
A47509Do n''t Satan''s rage, his enmity, and wrath Against the Soul, shew forth its precious worth?
A47509Do n''t people leap for Joy, whil''st Angels sing, To welcome in their long expected King?
A47509Do not great Swarms of people''bout him sly, Like to some strange and glorious Prodigy?
A47509Do not his Works, and his most glorious Name, His blessed Nature unto all proclaim?
A47509Do not the Conduits through all streets combine, In stead of Water, wholly to run Wine?
A47509Dost know, grim Tyrant, who''t is thou treadst down?
A47509Dost not perceive the sad state thou art in By curs''d Apollyon, and his off- spring, SIN?
A47509Dost not perceive what I for thee endure?
A47509Dost not thou tremble at this frightful news?
A47509Dost not, O Soul, deserve for this to die?
A47509Dost see thy state, thy bloody state?
A47509Dost think the Law can help thee?
A47509Dost thou more good in that soul Brat espy, Than is in all the glorious Trinitie?
A47509Doth Conscience yield?
A47509Doth not her Soul dissolve then into tears, With thoughts of him who freed her from all fears?
A47509Doth not the Trumpet sound, And Joy and melody sweetly abound I''th hearts of all, who heard of this good News?
A47509Doth she not wait?
A47509Doth this not with thy present purpose suit?
A47509Fearfully am I made: how canst tell?
A47509For had a man ten thousand worlds to lose: The loss of them far better had he chose, Than lose his soul, why would you think it strange?
A47509For what is Sin, is''t not a deadly evil, The filthy spawn and off- spring of the Devil?
A47509From ruling men and Devils, now to be Tempted by both of them, scarce ever free?
A47509From whence is it?
A47509Great slaughters there will be in my small Isle, For without bloud be sure this fearful broil Will never cease; which side now shall I take?
A47509Has he on Earth any such spightful Foe, As dare''s attempt this''mazing thing to do?
A47509Has he so much esteemed thee?
A47509Has none found out a way to make him yield, And either by fraud or force to quit the Field?
A47509Hast any kindness for me in thine Heart?
A47509Hast thou forgot, or knowst thou not, mine eyes Have been enlight''ned?
A47509Hast thou no other Bait, nor weapon got?
A47509Hast, hast thou suck''d this deadly poison in, And dost not see thy vital parts begin To swell?
A47509Hath she not slighted Christ, like unto those That him reject, and cleave unto his Foes?
A47509Have I with joy, delight, and chearful heart Indur''d all this excessive pain and smart, And out of precious love to thee I bore?
A47509Have not the Mighty fallen by my hand, Enforc''d to yeild to me in every Land?
A47509Have you not brought him then?
A47509He resteth in his love; and who can turn His heart away, or damp those flames that burn In his dear breast?
A47509He that gave bounds unto the Sea and Land, What is not in his Power to command?
A47509He that to them no harm did do or think, And yet must he this bitter potion drink?
A47509He''d have him doubt or question, if t were so?
A47509He''s Just and Virtuous, and esteem''d so high, Who dares charge him with th''least Impurity?
A47509He''s wise, all- wise, only wise; shall I speak?
A47509How blind are Creatures in their natural state?
A47509How can I think my self a Criminal, When of the fact I nothing know at all?
A47509How can her glory better be exprest, Than to imbrace what is so freely given, Joys here below as well as bliss in Heaven?
A47509How can it be?
A47509How can the Soul refuse to entertain A Lover, which for her with shame was slain?
A47509How canst thou be so dark This to imagine, Soul?
A47509How canst thou bear such a Rebellious one?
A47509How did they carry''t to him, or how use This lovely One, whom Angels do adore, And Glorious Seraphims fall down before?
A47509How fain would he Majestick Steps have trod, And worship''d be, nay worship''d by a God?
A47509How have they sung with flames about their Ears, Contemning pains, regardless of all fears?
A47509How heavy is that stroke, how sharp that Rod, That''s lifted up by men, laid on by God?
A47509How heavy, O how bitter was the Cross Once unto me?
A47509How is''t with thee, hast thou not heard the news, What for thy sake I suffer''d by the Jews?
A47509How loth''s the Flesh to yield, that Grace may win The happy Conquest of a Bosom- sin?
A47509How oft have we stood by thee; sent thee forth To do our will and pleasure on the Earth?
A47509How often did they in clandestine way Endeavour their blood- thirsty hands to lay Upon this Sacred Prince?
A47509How prodigal thou seem''st?
A47509How shall this thing be now accomplished?
A47509How shall we both then meet in Harmony, And shine in spendor to Eternity?
A47509How shall we prize the Soul?
A47509How vast''s the Deeps?
A47509How will it plead, how wittily debate, Excuse, or argue, to extenuate The Crime?
A47509I am in sport?
A47509I can not hold my hand, nor longer stay, Law must be satisfy''d, what dost thou say, Thou wretched Soul?
A47509I doubt that still thou the same Creature art Thou wast before?
A47509I faint, my Spirits quite decay, And yet I can not die: O who can stay My sinking Soul, whilst I these sorrows feel?
A47509I hitherto, saith she, have been deprest; What shall I do, how may I be at rest?
A47509I offer up to thee; M ● ● they atone for mine Iniquity?
A47509I prethee hark; Did he not bleed, and die upon the Tree Thee to redeem from all iniquitie, And that to him thou shouldst espoused be?
A47509I prethee who To such a Traytor will compassion show?
A47509I stand ama ●''d ● what guilt is on thy head?
A47509I will lay The nature of the Soul unto thy view: Wouldst know its worth?
A47509I write — But''t is, alas, with trembling hand: For who those boundless Depths can understand?
A47509I''m sorely griev''d to think upon the Cup That is prepar''d for thee; What dost thou say?
A47509If famous Men of old offenders were, What needst thou be so nice, what needst thou fear?
A47509If she his Love will not accept, must she Expose him thus to shame and misery?
A47509If so, what shall I do, what shall I choose?
A47509If that be all, I''le get a Sacrifice; Let me consider, what shall I devise?
A47509If thus thou rashly giv''st them all away, What wilt thou do thy self another day?
A47509If thy first Husband live, Who to another Husband can thee give?
A47509In two extreams can thy weak thoughts reward Two so unequal, with the like respect?
A47509Is Greatness barren quite of solid joys?
A47509Is he betray''d to Death?
A47509Is it not plain he can do what he list, Who holds the mighty Winds as in his fist?
A47509Is love to Sin, and filthy Lust so sweet, That Jesus must be trodden under feet?
A47509Is she inflamed, is she all on fire In love to him, who out of love did die, Her to espouse, and save Eternally?
A47509Is sin God''s foe?
A47509Is there no pity in thee?
A47509Is this thy wit, and can''st thou do no more Than give him that which was his own before?
A47509Is this to recompence his fervent Love?
A47509Is''t fit I should be threatned thus by thee?

A44342Hath God, doth God deal so with poor Creatures as to draw them from their sins to 〈 ◊ 〉 Christ?

A44342Have you laid down the purchase?
A44342He came trembling and astonished, saying, what must I do to be saved?
A44342He had three sips of the Cup, and every one of them did sink his soul; and art thou, a poor sinful wretch, able to bear the wrath of God for ever?

A44342How shall the soul know it 〈 ◊ 〉 thus look to much to its owne worthiness?
A44342How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation?
A44342How silly was it,& incongruous to common sense to provide the sweetest sounds, and choicest musick to delight a deaf man?
A44342How then shall we know whether we fall short of this true sight of sin or no?
A44342How unfit to receive it?
A44342How weak is thine heart?
A44342I answer what need any further argument than thine own words, to constrain thee to the duty now discovered?
A44342I appeal to thy own Conscience, what wouldest thou think of such a party, who thus confesseth, and is as he confesseth?
A44342I do not do it, I dare not do it; but Will, what sayest thou?
A44342I have a hard heart that can not repent; And this is the plague of al plagues, worse than the Devil and Hell it self, How shal I help my self here?
A44342I have more understanding than all my teachers; how came that about?
A44342I hearkend and heard but no man repented him saying what have I done?
A44342I may truly, justly suspect it may be so, and fear it will?
A44342I will give to this last 〈 ◊ 〉 thee, may I not do what I will with my own?
A44342I 〈 ◊ 〉 and heard, but they spak not 〈 ◊ 〉 No man sayes with himself what have I done?
A44342I 〈 ◊ 〉 love them freely; therefore here''s no 〈 ◊ 〉 because none expressed?
A44342If Christ died, and by his death merited 〈 ◊ 〉 for all, why then are not all saved?
A44342If Christ durst not, how dares any man?
A44342If Coming here, was 〈 ◊ 〉, why should he be blamed?
A44342If he can not bear the one, how can he bear the other?
A44342If he give you nothing, doth he 〈 ◊ 〉 you any thing?
A44342If it be replyed, Doth any man know that heart?
A44342If not to the Devil, how any to such as are in Dignity?
A44342If the Lord do( as the times are in his own hands) what should I judg or think of my condition?
A44342If the beams of his wrath be so hot, what is the full Sun of his Wrath, when it shal seize upon the soul of a sinful creature in ful measure?

A44342If they escaped not who refused Moses who spake on Earth, how shall we escape if we refuse him that speaks from Heaven?
A44342If thou art so far from yielding obedience to the Gospel, as to refuse the terms of it, canst thou be excused?
A44342If thou shouldest mark, O Lord, what is done a miss, who should abide it?
A44342If you ask the reason why these bitter pills seem so sweet to a base heart?
A44342If you be in such haste, you may go to Hell time enough: What not wait?
A44342If you say, Must every one see the working of this Almighty Power in his own soul?
A44342If 〈 ◊ 〉 be evil in the tongue that 〈 ◊ 〉 it, is it not worse in the heart that indites it?
A44342In a word, All these Blessings are Gods Own, and may he not Do with his Own what he will?
A44342In thy declining daies wilt thou do this?
A44342Is Christ yours?
A44342Is it come to this?
A44342Is it equal that men be put upon impossibilities?
A44342Is it not enough that I understand this, and thereby be enabled to follow it?
A44342Is it not that Christ, whose Grace I have refused, whose Spirit I have grieved, whose Words I have cast 〈 ◊ 〉 my back?
A44342Is it nothing to you, have you no regard?
A44342Is it possible, is it credible, that ever mercy should be extended unto such?
A44342Is it reasonable the Lord 〈 ◊ 〉 should be an 〈 ◊ 〉 to thy lusts?
A44342Is it so with thee?
A44342Is it so, That a plain and powerful Ministery is the means of Preparing the soul of a poor 〈 ◊ 〉 for the Lord Jesus?
A44342Is it then beyond the power, and any possibility of man to attain Grace?
A44342Is my heart yet humbled?
A44342Is my strength the strength of stones, or is my flesh as brass, that must bear thy wrath?
A44342Is not this the great errand of a mans life, the end why we came into the world to do Gods wil?
A44342Is the sufficiencie of 〈 ◊ 〉 death intended and performed for the spiritual 〈 ◊ 〉 of al?
A44342Is there water enough in the Sea to clense this sink of hellish rebellions in this wretched Nature?
A44342Israel would none of me, so I gave them up to the lusts of their own hearts, to walk in their own counsels: Is it so?
A44342It may be here enquired for Explication of the Point: How a Ministery thus 〈 ◊ 〉 and Powerful 〈 ◊ 〉 work?
A44342It''s certain it will be so, and it''s uncertain how soon it may be: What if God do?
A44342Just cause we have to wait, no reason at all to murmure against him: Hast thou then endeavored after this work of Grace, and canst not attain it?
A44342Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God?
A44342Lastly, How deeply injurious and dishonorable is 〈 ◊ 〉 this to our blessed Saviour?
A44342Let men judg, Go offer now the 〈 ◊ 〉 and the 〈 ◊ 〉 unto thy 〈 ◊ 〉, will be accept it?
A44342Let us question our own souls and say to our selves what have we done?
A44342Look we at the Nature of the Work: That also wil of necessity require as much, Whether 〈 ◊ 〉 Sin, or Satan?
A44342May not the Creditor according to al the Rules of Right and Reason require his Money,& in the default of payment, punish or imprison?
A44342Men will see somthing in us to move them, and expect some good from us to perswade them to shew favor, but who is like unto our God?
A44342Moderation and descretion is the compas by which this man stears; it is not men and bretheren what shal we do?
A44342Moral Perswasions?
A44342More careless of thine own 〈 ◊ 〉 Comforts, than the Devils be to procure thy own Confusion?
A44342Must God only be loser, and his Worship go to the wal?
A44342Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God?
A44342Nay, their words seem to issue from another principle and foundation, what shal we do?
A44342No better?
A44342No man ever heard me say so; no man can prove that I ever said those words: It''s 〈 ◊ 〉, No, did I?
A44342No man said, what have I done?
A44342No, it is for our sakes it was spoken; Shal the Ox be burdened,& not the heart under pressures be relieved?
A44342None considereth in his heart, to say I have burnt part, I have roasted and warmed my self, and shal I make a God of the rest?
A44342Observe then, is it so?
A44342Oh Grave where is thy Victory?
A44342Oh Jerusalem wilt thou not be made clean?
A44342Oh death, where is thy sting?
A44342Oh how I love thy law, it is my meditation all the day, love is the great wheel of the soul that sets al on going, and how 〈 ◊ 〉 that appear?
A44342Oh is it not pitty to cast such Dainties before Dogs, and Pearls before Swine?
A44342Oh why hast thou hardened our hearts from thy fear?
A44342Open 〈 ◊ 〉 and make all preparation: Did David do thus?
A44342Or can you take the 〈 ◊ 〉 Comfort in the same wayes now?
A44342Or if thou hast a heart to seek in thy manner, who knows whether God will accept it or no?
A44342Or take it heinously, and grievously that any should keep him from drinking the Poyson that would destroy him?
A44342Phylosophers of the Epicure and Stoicks they encountred Paul and said what will this babler say?
A44342Prove it?
A44342Reprobate Silver shall men call them, because the Lord hath rejected them: How proves he that?
A44342Saints?
A44342Saul, Saul why persecutest thou me?
A44342Saul, Saul( saies Christ) why persecutest thou me?
A44342Say thou therefore, and why not I amongst the Witches upon the place of Execution, with Malefactors?
A44342Say with thy self, what sorrow have I more than Judas had?

A44342Shall it be that God will come and dwell under our roof?
A44342Shall the King of Glory stand?
A44342Shall the Lord knock?
A44342Shall the Lord provide all 〈 ◊ 〉 for our Good, and shall we neglect both him, and them, and our own everlasting welfare?
A44342Shame may prevail with thee, Authority of men may constrain thee, and conscience may force thee to abstain from evil; I but, what saies thy Heart?
A44342Should not his practice be a pattern to all to imitate him in like expressions?
A44342Should this be done by a gracious Habit?
A44342Shouldest thou help the ungodly?
A44342So I say of Application, Is it from Heaven, or from your self?
A44342So our Savior expressed himself to 〈 ◊ 〉, Acts, 9. Who art thou Lord?
A44342So that as Reuben somtimes in another case, so the sinner in this, and I, whither shall I go?
A44342So the Disciples to our Savior when he would arm them against his departure, Will ye also go away?
A44342So the Lord may say, Have I any need of dead men that you have brought these aged 〈 ◊ 〉 ruinous carkasses before me?
A44342So the Lord to all the fair pretences of fals- hearted Professors; How can you say you love me, when your hearts are not with me?
A44342So when this question shal be put to thee, Why art thou lazy in thy place?
A44342So when 〈 ◊ 〉 consider all Opportunities, and Means, and Mercies, say, Is this a time, to follow the World, and the Profits thereof?
A44342So, 〈 ◊ 〉 the demand be, Shall this gray headed sinner 〈 ◊ 〉 come to Grace?
A44342Sow thy seed in the morning, and in the evening let thy hand rest, and what is the prevailing reason to provoak to such unweariable diligence?
A44342Take possession then into your hand: Have you tendered the payment?
A44342That Vertue and Power may come from Jesus Christ 〈 ◊ 〉 work upon this Soul 〈 ◊ 〉 mine: But how shal I know that?
A44342That is more profitable, but how may this or that inconvenience be prevented?
A44342That the Writings of men should be sound, their Speeches acceptable, is granted; but when are they?
A44342That which the jalour in the like case did openly mention, and these also did intend, Sirs what shal I do to be saved?
A44342That which they have done, and desired for their own ruine, is it not just but they should have it?
A44342The People they came and asked, the Publicans they enquired, the rude Soldiers they also began to demand, Master, what shal we do?
A44342The Powerful Supremacy of his just will, as that he hath right to dispose of all and authority to command all at his pleasure; What if God will?
A44342The Question might be, How comes that about?
A44342The Redeemer shall come out of Zion who are those?
A44342The greatest labor should have been undertaken to preserve thy life, what carelessness is this to neglect the least that may procure thy safety?
A44342The spirit of a man will 〈 ◊ 〉 his infirmity, but a wounded spirit, who can bear?
A44342The thing was strange, but what it was he could not tel, and therefore he makes yet further enquiry, Who art thou Lord?
A44342The time of our living is one of Gods whiles, the time of finding Grace and Mercy, if ever we come to share therein?
A44342The words of this book shall not depart away from thee; how 〈 ◊ 〉 we prevent that?
A44342The 〈 ◊ 〉 of Jacobs Ladder is here on Earth, though the top of 〈 ◊ 〉 unto Heaven?
