A90278 | 1 Whether Christ in making satisfaction, underwent that Penalty that was threatned to the Offendors themselves? |
A90278 | 2 Grant All that here is said, how doth it prove that Christ underwent not the very Penalty of the Law? |
A90278 | 2 How comes the Sinner by Faith, if it is the Gift of God? |
A90278 | 2 Whether the Penalty due to One, may not be undergon by Another? |
A90278 | 2 Whether the Penalty though undergone by another, be not the idem of the Obligation? |
A90278 | 20. because he now will, and may, suitablely to his Justice ▪ Wisdome, and Appointment, make out unto them? |
A90278 | 3 How doth this Elude the force of my Answer? |
A90278 | 4 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? |
A90278 | 4 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? |
A90278 | 4 To the thing it self, I desire to enquire; 1 What M. B. intends by solutio ejusdem in the businesse in hand? |
A90278 | And may not this hold in things Personal also? |
A90278 | And what said I more? |
A90278 | And what saith Grotius more then this? |
A90278 | But how is all this proved? |
A90278 | But is it from hence, because by his Death, he Purchaseth for them, the compleating of that Condition in them? |
A90278 | But is there any such thing as Deliverance once aimed at, or intended in the tenor of the Obligation? |
A90278 | But is this his mind indeed? |
A90278 | But then, Why doth the Lord bestow Faith on Peter at the 40th yeer of his Age, and not before, or after? |
A90278 | But, Do I not then fight with a shadow? |
A90278 | Can Justice refuse to accept of such a payment? |
A90278 | Can it be any other but the Glory of Gods Justice in the everlasting destruction of the Creature? |
A90278 | Do I labour to prove that which I never Affirmed? |
A90278 | Doth he assert tantundem to be in this matter equivalent unto idem{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}{ non- Roman}? |
A90278 | Doth he not maintain it to be the Offendors own undergoing the Penalty of the Law? |
A90278 | Else, Why is Faith given him at this instant for Christs sake, and not to another, for whom also he died? |
A90278 | For, What is that Love of God which through Christ is effectual to bestow Faith upon the Unbeleeving? |
A90278 | For: 1; Why doth the Lord bestow Faith on Peter, not on Judas? |
A90278 | He purposed from Eternity, to inflict punishment on Sinners: and on what sinners? |
A90278 | He that spared not his Son, but delivered him up to Death for us all, how shall he not with him freely give us all things? |
A90278 | How then can it possibly be supposed to attain the End spoken of ipso facto? |
A90278 | I ask then, Whence that Assurance doth accrew? |
A90278 | IT is one of the greatest and noblest Questions in our Controverted Divinity, What are the immediate Effects of Christs Death? |
A90278 | If the Second: 1 I desire to know, What is this Intention here assigned to our Saviour? |
A90278 | In respect of punishment abstracting from Persons, the Law was not dispensed withal as to Christ? |
A90278 | In 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? |
A90278 | Is it because he was not Primarily in the Obligation? |
A90278 | Is it because the Law doth threaten every man Personally? |
A90278 | Is it from his foresight of their good using their Abilities to fulfil the Condition to them prescribed? |
A90278 | Is it not his main endeavour to prove it so? |
A90278 | Is there any one Argument in my whole Book used to any such purpose? |
A90278 | It is true, he could have made us quickly know it: but who hath been his Counsellour? |
A90278 | Now what excepts M. B. hereunto? |
A90278 | Now what sayes this Argument to the Contrary? |
A90278 | Or will he deny it to be equivalent in Gods Gracious Acceptance? |
A90278 | That dreadful cry, Why hast thou forsaken me? |
A90278 | That is, Whether Christ paid the idem in the Obligation, or tantundum? |
A90278 | That is, Whether God be only a Rector, or a Rector and Creditor also in this Businesse? |
A90278 | They 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? |
A90278 | To what End, you will say, doth Mr Owen adde these Arguments? |
A90278 | What End I pray doth this obtain ipso facto? |
A90278 | What differs this in the Close from absolute freedom? |
A90278 | What now sayes M. B. to this? |
A90278 | What then doth the Lord do, when he thus bestoweth Faith on him? |
A90278 | What then is my Crime? |
A90278 | Whence is this difference? |
A90278 | Where I pray? |
A90278 | Where then is the difference? |
A90278 | Wherein? |
A90278 | Whether Christ paid the idem, or the tantundum? |
A90278 | Why? |
A90278 | Will his words bear any other sense? |
A90278 | Will you deny it? |
A90278 | and if so, Whether it be not the same Penalty( the idem) or no? |
A90278 | never beleeved? |
A90278 | never thought? |
A90278 | or can it require any more? |
A30167 | A wounded Spirit who can bear? |
A30167 | And I, saith he, if I be lifted up from the Earth, will draw all men unto me: but what was it to be lifted up from the Earth? |
A30167 | And can an Holy and Just God require that we give thanks to him in his Name, if it was not effectually done for us by him? |
A30167 | Because Christ is our Pattern, is he not our Passeover? |
A30167 | Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? |
A30167 | Besides, what arguments so prevailing, as such as are purely Gospel? |
A30167 | But how doth that appear? |
A30167 | But how should I prove the Goodness of mine own Righteousness, by the Death and Blood of Christ? |
A30167 | But how was Jesus Christ made of God to be sin for us? |
A30167 | But might not Christ die for our Sins, but he needs must bear their Guilt or Burden? |
A30167 | But some may say, What need of the Righteousness of one that is naturally God? |
A30167 | But what a disappointment would these waiting Believers have, should all their expectations be rewarded with a Fable? |
A30167 | But what did he do with our Sins? |
A30167 | But what saith the Apostle? |
A30167 | But what then are Sinners the better for the Death and Blood of Christ? |
A30167 | But what? |
A30167 | But wherein lyeth the depth of this Wisdom of God in our Salvation, if Man''s Right- hand can save him? |
A30167 | But why could they not learn that Song? |
A30167 | But why not possible now to be helden of death? |
A30167 | But would God have given the World such an account of his Sufferings, that by one Offering he did perfect for ever them that are sanctified? |
A30167 | But, I say, what cause would there be to ask in his Name more than in the Name of some other? |
A30167 | By him therefore; wherefore? |
A30167 | Can thine Heart endure, or can thine Hands be strong? |
A30167 | Christ must die, or Man be damned: where is now any room for the Righteousness of Men? |
A30167 | Hath he indeed born all my Sins, and spilt his Blood for my Redemption? |
A30167 | He must do the Work by dying: Ought not Christ to have suffered? |
A30167 | He sanctified us with his Blood, but why should the Father have thanks for this? |
A30167 | He that believeth not, but what should he believe? |
A30167 | If David called him Lord, how is he then his Son? |
A30167 | If our Sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how can we THEN live? |
A30167 | Must the Son of God himself come down from Heaven? |
A30167 | My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
A30167 | No: What then? |
A30167 | No: shall he stay from Christ till his Heart is better? |
A30167 | No: shall he trust to his duties? |
A30167 | Now what is the Signification of this Name, but SAVIOUR? |
A30167 | Now when Jesus was born, it''s said, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? |
A30167 | Perhaps the Word Satisfaction will hardly be found in the Bible; and where is it said in so many words, God is dissatisfied with our Sins? |
A30167 | Secondly, What it is to come to be a Saviour? |
A30167 | Secondly, What was it for Jesus to be of Davids Seed? |
A30167 | Secondly, What was it for Jesus to come into the World? |
A30167 | Sinners, you have Souls, can you behold a Crucified Christ and not Bleed, and not Mourn, and not fall in Love with him? |
A30167 | The END of the Law, what is the End of the Law, but perfect and sinless Obedience? |
A30167 | The Peace of God, of that we have spoken before; but how should this rule in our Hearts? |
A30167 | Then gathered the Chief- Priests and Pharisees a Counsel, and said, what do we? |
A30167 | These kill the Heart, for who can bear up under the guilt of Sin? |
A30167 | We may not go in our own names, because we are Sinners; not in the Name of one another, because all are Sinners; but why not in the Name of an Angel? |
A30167 | What doth the Law require? |
A30167 | What follows now? |
A30167 | What greater argument to holiness, than to be made the Members of the Body, of the Flesh, and of the Bones of Jesus Christ? |
A30167 | What greater argument to holiness, than to have our Soul, our Body, our Life hid, and secured with Christ in God? |
A30167 | What is his Name, and what is his Sons Name, if thou canst tell? |
A30167 | What meant he by turning Adam out of Paradise, by drowning the Old World, by burning up Sodom with Fire and Brimstone from Heaven? |
A30167 | When the Apostle had taken such a view of himself as to put himself into a maze, with an out- cry also, who shall deliver me? |
A30167 | While Jacob was afraid of Esau, how heavily did he drive, even towards the Promised Land? |
A30167 | Why, what had Jonathan done? |
A30167 | Ye Hypocrites, ye can discern the Face of the Skie, and of the Earth, but how is it that ye do not discern this Time? |
A30167 | and why may we not go to Christ in the Name of the Father, as well as to the Father in the Name of Christ? |
A30167 | art thou also of Galilee? |
A30167 | can not all the Angels do it? |
A30167 | can not an Angel do it? |
A30167 | can not man by any means redeem his Brother, nor give to God a Ransom for him? |
A30167 | can not one Sinner save another? |
A30167 | how should he contain hopes of life? |
A30167 | or can there be no Salvation? |
A30167 | or, because we should in these things follow his Steps, died he not for our Sins? |
A30167 | why in his Name, if his undertakings for us are not well- pleasing to God? |
A77642 | 1. how shall he judge those whom he never purchased with a price? |
A77642 | 17. of whom I demand what they think if David had dyed in the act of Adultery, or before his repentance? |
A77642 | 20. how much more they that despise the counsell of God and murmure against him? |
A77642 | 31. as the Apostles collection, and the result of all which he had spoken in the precedent part of the chapter, what shall we say then? |
A77642 | 4. Who then is excluded from the call of God, and to whom hath not his light shined? |
A77642 | 4. that God had not give them eyes to see, a heart to perceive, and ears to hear, unto this day? |
A77642 | 4. where the Lord enquires, What could have been done more to his Vineyard which he had not done for it? |
A77642 | And if any shall ask how men come to commit sin then? |
A77642 | And whereas it may be demanded, How it comes to pass that all serve not God in holiness? |
A77642 | But Israel which followed after the Law of righteousnesse, have not attained to the Law of righteousnesse; wherefore? |
A77642 | But can not men be left without excuse without the preaching of this Doctrine to them? |
A77642 | But can the grace of God be said to be free, when there is a condition of something to be done by us for the obtaining of it? |
A77642 | But is it not said that God did hate Esau and loved Jacob, before they had done either good or evill? |
A77642 | But some( it may be) will say, If Christ hath saved all men from the grave, how comes it to pass that any dye? |
A77642 | But that being true( as indeed it is) how can infants be visible Church- members? |
A77642 | But the great question is, Whether the creatures obedience foreknown, did move God to give him eternal life? |
A77642 | But were not these things prophesied of? |
A77642 | But yet, say some, did not he bid Shimei curse David? |
A77642 | But( say some) what if it were the pleasure of God to make a thousand worlds, and to destroy them all? |
A77642 | But( will some say) doth God invite all men, and offer grace to all men really and in good earnest? |
A77642 | But, may some say, is he so the Saviour of all men, that none shall be damn''d in the second death? |
A77642 | Can there be any possibility that they should believe, for whom Christ meirteth not faith, seeing all that do believe had faith merited for them? |
A77642 | Christ foreknew( and so did the Father) that Judas would betray Jesus; doth it follow that God appointed Judas hereunto? |
A77642 | Did the Spirit of the Lord ever say that Christ dyed not for all, or that he dyed but for some? |
A77642 | Doth God command men to hear? |
A77642 | Doth he command men to see, consider, and understand? |
A77642 | First, I ask, What was it that the hand and counsel of the Lord determin''d to be done or brought to pass? |
A77642 | First, Whether every Man and Woman have not ability to act something? |
A77642 | For, first, I querie, Whether unbelief and disobedience be simply sins? |
A77642 | How 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? |
A77642 | I answer, first, by a Querie, Whether we shall be judged by the Word as it speaks, or as men say it means? |
A77642 | I demand whether he doth acquire them to serve him, or profess his service really or seemingly? |
A77642 | I 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? |
A77642 | If thou dost well, shalt thou not be accepted? |
A77642 | In a word, what Nation was there, to whom he sent not his Messengers? |
A77642 | Is it not most evident that all were sanctified by the blood of Christ? |
A77642 | Is it not said, To you it is given on the behalf of Christ not onely to believe, but also to suffer for his sake? |
A77642 | Is the Spirit of the Lord straitened? |
A77642 | It must of necessity also be the root of a dead faith, for what life can that faith have, which is grounded upon our own qualifications? |
A77642 | Let all the nations be gathered together, let all the people be assembled; who amongst them can declare this, and shew us former things? |
A77642 | Now I would know whether they were appointed to be obedient or disobedient? |
A77642 | Now what account did he make of man? |
A77642 | Object But is it not sayd, Come, buy,& c. without money and without price? |
A77642 | Oh where was the wisdome of that poor creature who restrained and limited Scripture- Redemption? |
A77642 | Secondly, Whether that power or ability be not from God alone through Christ? |
A77642 | Shall not the judge of all the earth do right? |
A77642 | Shall there be evill in the City, and the Lord hath not done it? |
A77642 | That the Devil put in the heart of Iudas to betray Iesus? |
A77642 | That they were appointed to be disobedient? |
A77642 | Then what have you to do to say that he is so to others? |
A77642 | Thirdly, Whether God did indue them with that ability to do well, or to do ill, or to do nothing? |
A77642 | Thou art not excluded by name, and why shouldst thou exclude thy self through unbeliefe? |
A77642 | What is man, that thou takest knowledge of him; or the son of man, that thou makest account of him? |
A77642 | What is that to thee? |
A77642 | What shall they do that have not the Scriptures? |
A77642 | What then? |
A77642 | Where is the distinguishing love of God, if Christ dyed for all? |
A77642 | Why will ye spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labour for that which satisfieth not? |
A77642 | and how comes it to pass that some do believe and obey, and others do not? |
A77642 | are these his doings? |
A77642 | did he think that his bare word is a sufficient warrant for us to believe by? |
A77642 | disswade any man from an evill way be this doctrine? |
A77642 | eng Troughton, William, 1614?-1677? |
A77642 | even they that trod it under foot, and flight it, and despise the Spirit of grace, and Son of God? |
A77642 | how they can be so unkind to their Saviour, and to tread him under foot that bought and sanctified them with his dearest heart- blood? |
A77642 | is there any Scripture from the beginning of Genesis to the end of the Revelation that speaks thus? |
A77642 | or are there any more sorts of men and women, but such as obey the Spirit, and such as resist it? |
A77642 | produce them? |
A77642 | reprove them for being so? |
A77642 | shall we think that he that reproves men for judging another mans servant, will allow that which he condemns? |
A77642 | shew wherein, as I desired him, being then present? |
A77642 | to the word, or to disobedience? |
A77642 | what profession of the Faith of Christ can they make, and what good or evil can they do? |
A77642 | would Christ ever have been grieved for the hardnesse of the Jewes hearts, had he not laid down his life for them? |
A77642 | yea 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? |
A65610 | Alas, sirs, have you all this to do? |
A65610 | And are you ready with well grounded hope and peace, to wellcome death, and appear in judgement? |
A65610 | And bethink your selves whether a servant may say, I will do less work than my fellow servants, because I have more wages? |
A65610 | And hereby shew that your Repentance is hypocritical, and will not prove the pardon of your sin? |
A65610 | And is it not worse that you deal with God? |
A65610 | And therefore the common excuse of such twatlers is this: I hope that it is no harm: yea, but what good was it? |
A65610 | And to increase our pity, when they have done they ask,[ What harm is there in cards and dice, in stage- playes and Romances? |
A65610 | And when he saw him fit for an admonition, would wisely bestow it upon him? |
A65610 | And whether God have not only the leavings of your flesh? |
A65610 | And whether those things which should have none, and those which should have little, have not almost all? |
A65610 | And whether you may do less for God, because he giveth you more than others? |
A65610 | And why then in Baptism did you renounce them and vow to follow Christ? |
A65610 | And will you yet live so contrary to your prayers, to your consciences, and to reason it self? |
A65610 | And yet have you Time to spare on Vanity? |
A65610 | Are you regenerate and rènewed to the Heavenly nature? |
A65610 | Are you strong and stablished in grace? |
A65610 | Are your hearts in Heaven? |
A65610 | As 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? |
A65610 | Believe it, O man and Woman, it is to do all that ever must be done, to prepare for an everlasting life? |
A65610 | But alas, how do the common sort of men bewray their monstrous folly in this behalf? |
A65610 | But 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? |
A65610 | Did they waste so much of the day, in nothings, and need- nots as our slothful sensual Gentry do? |
A65610 | Did you ever find such a prayer in any Prayer book? |
A65610 | Do you believe that you must give an account of your Time? |
A65610 | Do you consider well the shortness and uncertainty of your Time? |
A65610 | Do you know who attendeth you while you are loitering away your Time? |
A65610 | Do you mark what dying men say of Time, and how they value it? |
A65610 | Do you really take Christ, and his Apostles and Saints, to be the fittest pattern for the spending of your time? |
A65610 | Do you sober ● y consider, what work you have for all your time? |
A65610 | Do you think if you neglect and lose your Time, that ever you should come again into this world, to spend it better? |
A65610 | Doth it not awaken and amaze thy soul, to think what it is to be for ever; I say, for ever, in Ioy or Misery? |
A65610 | Doth it not tell you what you have to do, and call upon you to dispatch it? |
A65610 | First, he calls him up( as it were) saying; How long wilt thou sleep, when wilt thou rise out of thy sleep? |
A65610 | For do we not plainly see, what a canker it is in a number of mens lives? |
A65610 | For 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? |
A65610 | For when wisdom laughes a man to scorn, whither shall he repair for succour? |
A65610 | Gentlemen 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? |
A65610 | Give not all( ah, why should we give any of it?) |
A65610 | Had you not rather that it had been spent in fruitful holiness and good works, than in idleness and fleshly pleasures? |
A65610 | Have you deeply considered that everlasting condition is, which all your Time is given you to prepare for? |
A65610 | Have you made sure of pardon and salvation? |
A65610 | Have you no more useful Recreations? |
A65610 | Have you not a God to serve? |
A65610 | Have you not an outward calling to follow? |
A65610 | Have you not death and judgement to prepare for? |
A65610 | Have you not servants and children to instruct and educate( And O what a deal of labour do ● h their ignorance and obstinacy require? |
A65610 | How 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? |
A65610 | How can one have treasure in Heaven, that never laid up any there? |
A65610 | How can you chuse but tremble when you think how you spend your dai ● s? |
A65610 | How do you now wish that you had spent the Time which is already past? |
A65610 | How 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? |
A65610 | How 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? |
A65610 | How many false opinions have you to be untaught? |
A65610 | How many fervent prayers might he store up in heaven that would not fore- slow time, when he feels his desires earnest? |
A65610 | How many graces to be obtained? |
A65610 | How many have died suddenly? |
A65610 | How many pernicious customs to be changed? |
A65610 | How many powerful corruptions to be mortified? |
A65610 | How many temptations to be overcome? |
A65610 | How many weighty lessons to learn? |
A65610 | How many winter nights do men suffer themselves to be robbed of, by this childish babling? |
A65610 | How much thankfulness might he have, that would lift up his heart to God in the fruition of blessing? |
A65610 | How often and how earnestly are men exhorted to all good works by the continual voice of God, speaking unto them by his servants? |
A65610 | How ordinarily do good and bad then wish, that they had spent Time better, and cry out, O that it were to spend again? |
A65610 | How short is your abode in your present dwelling like to be, in comparison of your abode in dust and darkness? |
A65610 | How 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? |
A65610 | If not, you have not so much as a shadow of Repentance; and therefore can have no just conceit that you are forgiven? |
A65610 | If this be so, I am not reprehending you; But I beseech you consider, Have you ● o ● souls to regard as well as others? |
A65610 | If yea, then why will you do that for the Time to come, which you wish for the time past that you had never done? |
A65610 | If you do not your work well, shall you ever come again to mend it? |
A65610 | If you do not, why do you usurp the name of Christians: Is he a Christian who would not live like Christians? |
A65610 | If you do, what account will then be most comfortab ● y to you? |
A65610 | If you have no pains or sickness to admonish you, do you not know what a fragile thing is fl ● sh? |
A65610 | If you idle away this life, will God ever give you another here? |
A65610 | Is it easie to get a solid faith? |
A65610 | Is it not lawful to use such and such recreations?] |
A65610 | Is it nothing to order and govern your hearts? |
A65610 | Is the Devil idle while you are idle? |
A65610 | Is the work that you were made for hitherto well done? |
A65610 | Is your Recreation but as the Mowers whe ● ting of his sythe? |
A65610 | Look back on all your Time that is past, and tell me whether it made not haste? |
A65610 | Must you stay on earth so short a time, and have you any of this little time to spare? |
A65610 | Now what a miserable loss is it when a man is robbed of his time, and of his heart both at once? |
A65610 | O what a heart hath that stupified sinner, that can ● idle away that little Time, which is allotted him to prepare for his everlasting state? |
A65610 | O what a large encrease of grace would this care bring? |
A65610 | Sometimes, 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? |
A65610 | Tell me, or tell your consciences, How would you form such a prayer to God for your recovery if you were now sick? |
A65610 | That 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? |
A65610 | The worth of Time, is for the work that is to be done in Time? |
A65610 | Then for idle thoughts; who makes question of them almost? |
A65610 | They let pass all good opportunities, and care not for any occasion for the soul, and how can their soul thrive? |
A65610 | What great grace would affliction bring, if a man would settle himself to humiliation, and gage his heart in time of affliction? |
A65610 | What maketh you so loth to dye, if Time be no more worth than to cast away unprofitably? |
A65610 | What not at Christmas? |
A65610 | While many are hourly crouding into another world, will conscience permit you to be idle? |
A65610 | Whilst the Jayler had Paul in his keeping ▪ he came to ask that needful ● uestion, What shall I do to be saved? |
A65610 | Why should that time be vi ● ified now, which will seem so precious then? |
A65610 | Why stand you all the day idle? |
A65610 | Will not graves and bones, and dust instruct you? |
A65610 | Will not the tolling of the Bell instruct you? |
A65610 | Will you take it for a satisfactory answer? |
A65610 | Would they feast it away, and play it away as you do now; and then say, Are not playes and cards and feasting lawful? |
A65610 | Would you say, Lord give me a little more Time to play at cards and dice in? |
A65610 | Yea so much of it as you daily waste, in idleness, play and vain curiosity? |
A65610 | a certainty of the pardon of all our sins, and of our title to e ● ernal happiness? |
A65610 | a contentedness with our condition? |
A65610 | a faithful conscience? |
A65610 | a fervent desire and love to God? |
A65610 | a fitness and ability for every duty? |
A65610 | a hatred of all sin? |
A65610 | a longing after the coming of Christ? |
A65610 | a love to holiness? |
A65610 | a love to our neighbour as our selves? |
A65610 | a publick spirit, wholly devoted to the common good? |
A65610 | a quieting confidence and trust? |
A65610 | a readiness and joyful willingness to die? |
A65610 | a tender heart? |
A65610 | a true love to our enemies? |
A65610 | a well guided zeal? |
A65610 | an absolute resignation, self- denyal and obedience? |
A65610 | and Heaven and Hell were indifferent to him? |
A65610 | and are they not lawful?] |
A65610 | and his word and will to learn and do? |
A65610 | and how all this time must be accounted for? |
A65610 | and 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? |
A65610 | and in the labours of a lawful bodily employment? |
A65610 | and is your daily coversation there? |
A65610 | and on how important a business you come into the world? |
A65610 | and preserving fear? |
A65610 | and that he giveth you not an hours time in vain, but appointeth you work for every hour? |
A65610 | and that you must look back from Eternity on the Time wh ● ch you now spend? |
A65610 | and then to be exercised, and strengthened, and preserved? |
A65610 | and yet can you have while to sl ● g, and game, and play and fool away your Time? |
A65610 | asking whether the World were so empty of occasions, and our selves so perfectly well, as that we can find nothing to do? |
A65610 | doth not this waste and pour forth time over- lavishly? |
A65610 | how comfortably might he weep over Christ, and how plenti ● ully, that would take the tide of tears, and turn all pensiveness to this use? |
A65610 | how many sottishly? |
A65610 | how should his souls thrive, that would be thus husbandly? |
A65610 | in Heaven or Hell? |
A65610 | no 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? |
A65610 | one of these will certainly and shortly be thy portion, whatever unbelief may say against it? |
A65610 | or how much in furnishing their bodies, their attendants, their habitations with matter of splendour and vain glory? |
A65610 | or that taketh not Christ for his Master and Example? |
A65610 | or were but insignificant words? |
A65610 | or, what if that should come to pass? |
A65610 | suppose they were all unquestionably lawful, Have you no greater matter that while to do? |
A65610 | suppose you had seventy years to live, how soon will they be gone? |
A65610 | that will exercise your bodies and minds more profitably, or at least with less expence of Time? |
A65610 | to all? |
A65610 | to enemies? |
A65610 | to equals? |
A65610 | to inferiours? |
A65610 | to neighbours? |
A65610 | to superiours? |
A65610 | where is one, that hath enjoyned himself to some constancy in praying, reading, and the fore- named duties? |
A65610 | which as the flower fa ● leth, doth hasten to corruption and to dust? |
A65610 | who marks these exhortations? |
A65610 | your passions? |
A65610 | your thoughts? |
A65610 | your tongues? |
A40356 | 14. Who can dwell with devouring fire, who would( saith the Lord) set the bryars and thorns against me in battel? |
A40356 | 22. and to go to Heaven alone,& to endeavour by your prayers, counsels and examples, to perswade and draw others into Heavens way? |
A40356 | 23. 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? |
A40356 | 28. and exercise my self unto Godliness? |
A40356 | 3. and who drown or banish the awful thoughts of God, Death and Eternity out of our minds and hearts? |
A40356 | 41, 42. be applyed? |
A40356 | 4: But he that doth that which is lawful and right, shall save his soul alive; who is that? |
A40356 | 6. would it not be matter of amazement, and wonder to Men and Angels? |
A40356 | A Precious Servant of the Lord was wo nt to say, if a man could answer to these two Questions, he need not to fear? |
A40356 | Again, 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? |
A40356 | And 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? |
A40356 | And what remains, but a doleful remembrance of those good things that are past and gone, and a severe strict account that is yet behind? |
A40356 | And when once he hath injected his poyson into the head, how much time is spent in writing and disputing to defend his delusions? |
A40356 | And 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? |
A40356 | And will you desire and wish for the woeful day? |
A40356 | And will you go on in the wayes of sin and death? |
A40356 | And 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? |
A40356 | And will you not, even to astonishment, adore the unsearchable riches of grace? |
A40356 | And will you spare it, and keep it still within your mouth? |
A40356 | Are not they in a very happy condition, that do believe, repent and turn to God with their whole heart? |
A40356 | Are thy hours for God? |
A40356 | Are ye still? |
A40356 | Are you Heaven- born, or born after the flesh only? |
A40356 | Are you crucified to the World, or do your souls cleave unto the dust? |
A40356 | Are you partakers of the first resurrection, or are you in your graves, rotting, stinking in your sins, being past feeling? |
A40356 | Are you vessels of honour prepared unto Glory, or Vessels of wrath fitted for destruction? |
A40356 | Art thou in astate of grace, at odds with fin, and truly in love with Christ and holiness? |
A40356 | But will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him? |
A40356 | Can thine heart endure, or thine hands be strong in the day that I shall deal with thee? |
A40356 | Can you chearfully, and without dread, entertain the thoughts of a dissolution, and of leaving all your earthly and sensual delightes? |
A40356 | Can 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? |
A40356 | Canst thou say, though I follow my Calling, and take care for my Family, yet I am most solicious about my everlasting condition? |
A40356 | Consider, which of the two Eternities you are going towards? |
A40356 | Conviction leads the way to conversion, as the needle to the thread: what''s a plaist ● r worth, where there is no wound? |
A40356 | Do I make conscience of redeeming time, so as to joyn time and duty togetogether? |
A40356 | Do Time and Duty go hand in hand? |
A40356 | Do 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? |
A40356 | Do not say, what need so much speed? |
A40356 | Do the great concerns of Gods glory, and your salvation, bear down all before them? |
A40356 | Do you beleive that Christs flock is little, and not fear your selves? |
A40356 | Do you know that you must die, and die but once? |
A40356 | Do you know your selves in a state of grace, that you are new born, that your evidences for heaven are clear and certain? |
A40356 | Do you see any thing that hath Eternity engraven upon it? |
A40356 | Do you think that Esau, Judas, Ahab, Agrippa, Herod, Simon Magus, the foolish Virgins are in hell, and yet confident of your going to heaven? |
A40356 | Doth my inward man prosper? |
A40356 | Doth not God frown and threaten to remove the Candle- stick, and leave us in darkness? |
A40356 | First, Am I Gods child? |
A40356 | First, When is time redeemed? |
A40356 | Further, are you risen with Christ, or dead in trespasses and Sins? |
A40356 | Hast thou not been the Devils too long already? |
A40356 | Hast thou not time for every other thing, namely, a time for eating, drinking, sleeping, potting, piping, playing, and none for Heaven? |
A40356 | Hath the most righteous judge, and sin- revenging God, held your souls in life, and kept you from death and Hell to this very day? |
A40356 | Have I had a holy awe of God in the midst of my Worldly business this day? |
A40356 | Have you any certainty of a blessed and glorious Eternity? |
A40356 | Have you bought the Pearl? |
A40356 | Have you seriously bewail''d the loss of time, and begg''d the pardon of it? |
A40356 | Have 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? |
A40356 | Have you unfeignedly believed, repented and turned to God with the renting of your hearts, and resigned your whole souls to him? |
A40356 | Have your souls sincerely closed with Jesus Christ, and freely and fully given up, and resigned your selves to him to be his for ever? |
A40356 | How do the Devils Agents endeavour to raise and undermine the very foundations and principles of the Christian faith? |
A40356 | How doth he go? |
A40356 | How fruitful are thy duties? |
A40356 | How have I performed duties this day? |
A40356 | How is the Family of God, and friends of Christ, devided and subdivided one from another? |
A40356 | How many are now in Hell, that purposed and promised to turn to God( as you do) hereafter? |
A40356 | How many do trifile away the time in going from house to house? |
A40356 | How many times hast thou engagest to dedicate and devote thy self to God and his Service? |
A40356 | How often hath opportunity come to us, and waited on us, but very few are found to lay hold upon it? |
A40356 | How profuse and prodigal are most of this great treasure, who make no improvement of it? |
A40356 | I have lived many years in the world; What have I been doing all my days? |
A40356 | I may cry out with the Prophet, call for the mourning women, for who is not guilty in this kind? |
A40356 | I 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? |
A40356 | If God be for us, who can be against us? |
A40356 | If a man were in the Sea near sinking, can a Boat come to soon? |
A40356 | If a man were to run or wrestle for his Life, or for a Crown, or Kingdom, how would he strain, and strive, and that with all his might? |
A40356 | If the best of Saints should redeem their time, what have sinners need to do? |
A40356 | If the consideration of our latter end is a matter of such moment, why do men and women that have immortal souls think no more of it? |
A40356 | If thou stayest till God''s time be past and gone, art thou sure God will accept thee hereafter? |
A40356 | If you look downward to this world, it s well; but how is it within with your precious soul? |
A40356 | If your bodies were tortured and tormented with pain and sickness, would you think that ease and health might come too soon? |
A40356 | Is Grace thriving? |
A40356 | Is Jesus Christ the Beloved and Darling of your Souls? |
A40356 | Is is not better to be the Lord''s servant, then Satan''s Slave? |
A40356 | Is it most certain, that I am in a state of Grace? |
A40356 | Is it not possible that you being yet on this side the Grave and Hell, may prepare for this evil day? |
A40356 | Is there an active, living, springing principle of Grace? |
A40356 | Is there not an appointed time for man upon Earth? |
A40356 | Lust, Pride, and uncleanness?) |
A40356 | Men declare their sins like Sodom, and are not ashamed of the unfruitful works of darkness; and why? |
A40356 | Now Sinners, stop here and consider, unto which of the two do you belong? |
A40356 | Now how stands the case of your precious souls? |
A40356 | Now the Damned and cursed Crue, are your brave Boon companions, and bosom friends? |
A40356 | Now what sins have you lest? |
A40356 | Now you souls in peril, which is best? |
A40356 | O 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? |
A40356 | O that you might know in this your day the things which belong to your Peace, before they be hid from your eyes? |
A40356 | O when will you come to your selves, and throw away your arms, and consider your souls; or will you not be saved? |
A40356 | O where shall I leave them? |
A40356 | O wretched man that I am who shall deliver me from the body of this death? |
A40356 | Or, can a condemned Malefactor receive his pardon too soon? |
A40356 | Quam serum est, tunc vivere incipere, cum desinendum est? |
A40356 | Say as Meses, Who knoweth the power of thine anger? |
A40356 | Secondly, Am I in Gods way? |

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? |
A26796 | An vero usque adeo d ● s ● ipiendum est, ut homo videat melius aliquid fieri debuisse,& hoc Deum vidisse non putet? |
A26796 | And another time they said, is not this the Son of David? |
A26796 | And by the lowest abasement? |
A26796 | And can there be a more afflicting calamity, then to be the slave of ones enemy, especially if base and cruel? |
A26796 | And have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? |
A26796 | And how can our Redeemer, supposing him God, make satisfaction to himself? |
A26796 | And how conspicuous was his Love in this darkning Condescension? |
A26796 | And how great is that Love which pitied& rescued us from Sin and Hell? |
A26796 | And how our Redeemer, supposing him God, can make Satisfaction to Himself? |
A26796 | And how reasonable is it that we should at his command remit a few faults to our Brethren? |
A26796 | And how reasonable is the condition it requires? |
A26796 | And how shall I give thee up, Ephraim? |
A26796 | And how should the Evangelical Light warm our hearts with thankfulness to God for this admirable Priviledg? |
A26796 | And if it be askt how His Death had a saving influence before He actually Suffered? |
A26796 | And if the light that is in us be darkness, how great is that darkness? |
A26796 | And if the sole apprehension be intolerable, how much more will the dwelling with devouring Fire, and everlasting burning? |
A26796 | And if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it? |
A26796 | And if we consider the Person of our Redeemer, what more worthy object of our affection than Christ? |
A26796 | And if we seriously consider them, how can any crevise be opened in the heart for the least breath of Pride to enter? |
A26796 | And is it not most reasonable to believe, that the Deity can not be fully understood by us? |
A26796 | And is it possible for a Christian to live in those Sins for which Christ died? |
A26796 | And is there iniquity in God? |
A26796 | And what an admirable exaltation of Mercy is there in this new Treaty of God with Sinners? |
A26796 | And what could possibly induce them to it, if they had not been certain of his Resurrection? |
A26796 | And what hast thou that thou didst not receive? |
A26796 | And what proportion is there between finite and infinite? |
A26796 | And who is able to conceive the weight of God''s Hand when he punishes sin according to its desert? |
A26796 | And with what colour then could they reject our Redeemer because crucified? |
A26796 | Anne tam tristi atque multiplici ministerio non pollui credamus dubitemusque? |
A26796 | As if the Son of God had been consecrated by such terrible Sufferings, to purchase and prepare a Pardon for those who sin securely? |
A26796 | As the Apostle argues, If he hath given us his Son, will he not with him give us all things? |
A26796 | As when he puts the question, Is God unjust who taketh vengeance? |
A26796 | Atque Deum? |
A26796 | Aut putet vidisse,& credat facere noluisse? |
A26796 | Aut voluisse quidem& minime potuisse? |
A26796 | Blessed Redeemer, what couldst thou have done or Suffered more, to quicken our dead Powers, and inflame our cold Hearts toward thee? |
A26796 | But what can not infinite Love, united to infinite Power, perform? |
A26796 | Can they avoid or endure the Wrath of an Incensed God? |
A26796 | Can they encounter with the fury of the Almighty, the apprehensions of which made the Soul of Christ heavy unto Death? |
A26796 | Can they fortifie themselves against the Supreme Judge? |
A26796 | Could love to their dead Master animate them to suffer for the honour of his Name? |
A26796 | Especially when there is so clear a Revelation of him? |
A26796 | Facinus est vincire Romanum Civem, Scelus est verberare, prope Parricidium necare, quid dicam in Crucem tollere? |
A26796 | Familias nuper intterimere,& tota Convivia, quae voluptas tanta tam ancipitis cibi? |
A26796 | For how could the gods made them Sacrifices to their Justice, who were companions with them in their Crimes? |
A26796 | For how honourable is it to be like the Son of God? |
A26796 | For how is it possible that God should retract his merciful purpose to save his People? |
A26796 | For how is it possible the Blood of a Beast should cleanse the Soul of a Man, or content the Justice of an offended God? |
A26796 | For how unnatural is it, not to love our Benefactour, when the dull Ox and the stupid Ass serve those that feed them? |
A26796 | For what Sins are there which so entire a Satisfaction doth not expiate? |
A26796 | For what could overcome the Infinite distance, between not being, and being, but Infinite Power? |
A26796 | For what is more natural than that one flame should produce another? |
A26796 | For what proportion is there between God and Man? |
A26796 | From whence was the difference? |
A26796 | Had Christ less Courage? |
A26796 | Hath He with so dear an expence satisfied his Justice, and will he deny his Mercy to relenting and returning Sinners? |
A26796 | Have 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? |
A26796 | He that loved them so as to unite them to Christ when they were strangers, will He hate them when they are his Members? |
A26796 | He that prevented them in his Mercy, when they were in their pollutions, will He leave them after his Image is engraven upon them? |
A26796 | Here the complaint is more just, Ad sapientiam quis accedit? |
A26796 | How blessed an exchange have the Merits of his Sufferings made with those of our Sins? |
A26796 | How can a reasonable Creature believe that eternal Damnation shall be the Punishment of Sin, and yet live in the wilful practice of it? |
A26796 | How can a worthless Rebel that is hateful to God expiate the offence of so excellent a Majesty? |
A26796 | How can he that only lives upon Alms, boast that he is rich? |
A26796 | How can it be said that he was Crucified for us alone? |
A26796 | How can we reflect on our Spiritual Obligations to Divine Grace without a rapture of Soul? |
A26796 | How can we reflect upon it without the warmest Affections to our Redeemer? |
A26796 | How can we remember thy bleeding, dying Love without an Extasy of affection? |
A26796 | How could God receive this Price, since he gave his Son to that Death which redeems us? |
A26796 | How could he quicken and Glorifie us, who finally perisht? |
A26796 | How cutting then was it to his Soul, to be suspended from the perfect vision of God? |
A26796 | How desperate then is the case of such a Sinner? |
A26796 | How doth this exalt his Compassion to us? |
A26796 | How easily can God destroy him, when by his sole Word he made him? |
A26796 | How far more easie is it to overcome the bodies of Men, than subdue their Souls? |
A26796 | How irregular and dangerous must our motions be? |
A26796 | How is Man disfigur''d by his Fall? |
A26796 | How is he transform''d in an instant from the Image of God, into the Image of the Devil? |
A26796 | How is it possible He should deny the Knowledg of Himself to those to whom He gave such a pure Love to Himself? |
A26796 | How many Troops of Deadly Diseases are ready to seize on them, immediatly after their Entrance into the World? |
A26796 | How many living Martyrs were Exiles for the Faith, and depriv''d of all humane consolation? |
A26796 | How many thousands were put to Death for the honour of our Redeemer? |
A26796 | How much less difficult is it for some Nations to change their Kings, than for all to change their Gods? |
A26796 | How 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? |
A26796 | How unable is he to encounter with offended Omnipotence? |
A26796 | How unqualified were we for his Love? |
A26796 | If God spared not his Son when he came in the similitude of sinful flesh, how shall Sinners who are deeply and universally defiled escape? |
A26796 | If he sacrifice himself, he can never appease the Divine Displeasure, for what doth he offer but a lump of Rebellion and Ingratitude? |
A26796 | If it did not support him when he stood, how can it raise him when he is fallen? |
A26796 | If it were so with the green Tree, what will become of the dry, when exposed to the fiery Tryal? |
A26796 | If the Stream swell so high as to overflow the Banks, will it stop in a descending Valley? |
A26796 | If 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? |
A26796 | If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? |
A26796 | If thou sinnest, what do ● t thou against him? |
A26796 | Indeed what greater disparagement can there be of the Divine Purity, than to indulge our selves in Sin upon confidence of an easie Forgiveness? |
A26796 | Is it not the highest Reason to believe the discovery that God hath made of Himself, and his Decrees? |
A26796 | Lord, what is Man that thou takest knowledge of him? |
A26796 | Malevoli solatii genus turba miserorum? |
A26796 | Man is a Ttransgressor from the Womb, and how can he expect a favourable Reception into the Empire of an offended God? |
A26796 | Mercy regarded Man with respect to his misery, and the pleas of it are, Shall the Almighty build to ruine? |
A26796 | Nam si supremus ille dies non extinctionem, sed commutationem affert loci, quid optabilius? |
A26796 | Now can there be a more powerful motive to Obedience than Infinite and Eternal Blessedness? |
A26796 | Now how is it possible that Rational Agents should freely, in the open light, for perishing vanities dare to commit sin? |
A26796 | Now if the Doctrine of Christ( that strictly forbids the Worship of Idols) were received, who would attend to their old Lies? |
A26796 | Now what Secret Power produced that suddain and universal Change? |
A26796 | Now what can be more powerful to restrain Men from sin than the terrours of the Lord? |
A26796 | Now what is more prudent, than of two evils that are propounded to choose the least? |
A26796 | Now 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? |
A26796 | Now what is there in Heaven or Earth that can move our Wills to entire Obedience, if this marvellous Pattern doth not affect us? |
A26796 | Now what less then the Divine Power could support them under those Torments, which''t is almost incredible a Body made of flesh could endure? |
A26796 | Now where did the Divine Power ever appear more glorious than in our crucified Saviour? |
A26796 | Now 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? |
A26796 | Nunquid enim si melior esset qui no ● posset peccare, ideo non benefactus est qui posset& non peccare? |
A26796 | Of what inestimable value then is the death of Christ, and how worthy a Ransom for lost mankind? |
A26796 | Or revenge the imitation of their own actions? |
A26796 | Our Saviour asks the Jews, how can ye believe, which receive honour one from another, and seek not the Honour which comes from God only? |
A26796 | Quare ergo illi datum est,& illi non dadum? |
A26796 | Quid erat cur in numero viventium me positum esse gauderem? |
A26796 | Quid violentius triumphat de Deo? |
A26796 | Quis est enim iste amor amicitiae? |
A26796 | Quis quod vir bonus esset gratias Diis egit unquam? |
A26796 | Shall the enemy triumph for ever, and raise his Trophies from the Works of the most High? |
A26796 | Shall the most excellent creature in the lower world perish, the fault not being solely his? |
A26796 | Shall the reasonable Creature lose the fruition of God, and God the subjection and service of the Creature, and all Mankind be made in vain? |
A26796 | That is, How can a Righteous person be born of a Sinner? |
A26796 | The Righteousness of Faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into Heaven? |
A26796 | The Son by his glorious appariton to Paul, when He struck him to the earth with these words, Why persecutest thou me? |
A26796 | Therefore the Apostle propounds it with indignation, Shall we sin that Grace may abound? |
A26796 | Therefore the Apostle, by way of upbraiding, enquires, Where is the wise man? |
A26796 | They only saw the veiled face of Moses, We all with open face as in a glass see the Glory of the Lord? |
A26796 | This is just matter of our highest admiration, why the milder Attribute is exercised towards Man, and the severer on them? |
A26796 | Thus he is represented inquiring by the Prophet, Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow my self before the most High God? |
A26796 | To be divorc''d as it were from himself, and to lose that Paradise He alwaies had within Him? |
A26796 | To conclude, Who can make a list of the evils to which the Body is liable, by the disagreeing Elements that compose it? |
A26796 | To what Sanctuary will he fly? |

A26796 | What an high Provocation is it to despise Redeeming Mercy, and to defeat that infinite Goodness which hath been at such expence for our Recovery? |
A26796 | What an unexpressible indignity is it to make a monstrous alliance between Christ and Belial? |
A26796 | What astonishing goodness is it, that God who is the Author and end of all things, should become the means of our Salvation? |
A26796 | What but a wilful distraction could induce him to believe that by defacing God''s image, he should become more like him? |
A26796 | What can change his Affections? |
A26796 | What can he expect from his own Reason that betrayed him to ruin? |
A26796 | What can oblige more strongly to duty than Gratieude? |

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?) |
A27064 | 22. if it were not a mercy, then Men did not sin against mercy in rejecting it, which who dare say? |
A27064 | 34. who is he that condemneth? |
A27064 | Again, is not Original sin the loss of Gods Image, and the pravity of Nature a Punishment for the first sin? |
A27064 | Also how could Christ condemn Pagans or any for not improving his Talents of Mercy, if they had none? |
A27064 | And I shall anon shew how it leads to Infidelity and other Sins, And after this, what Face of Religion is left, unsubverted? |
A27064 | And by Legislation or conditional Donation, make a free gift of Christ to all that will have him? |
A27064 | And can there be the effect without the cause? |
A27064 | And do not all the opposers confess that Christs Death was sufficient for All men? |
A27064 | And doth not God do more for Peter, than for Judas, for the Elect than the Reprobate, antecedently to their Faith? |
A27064 | And how can any Man prove Gods special love by the evidence of a false Faith? |
A27064 | And 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? |
A27064 | And if God may do so in one, why not in others? |
A27064 | And 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? |
A27064 | And invite multitudes that will refuse; and yet compel but his chosen only to come in? |
A27064 | And is Christ an imperfect Saviour to all these? |
A27064 | And is it not fit for us to understand the same phrase used in the next Chapter save ● ● e as in the same Sense? |
A27064 | And is it not long of themselves if they never hear it, nor have any benefit by it? |
A27064 | And is it plainer in this than in its affirming that Christ died for All? |
A27064 | And it is hereby answered, that He can if that man Believe? |
A27064 | And must I still continue that groundless Act? |
A27064 | And of neglecting all the Duties which he might have been informed of? |
A27064 | And 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? |
A27064 | And so a fulfilling of that threatning? |
A27064 | And so have other sinners that be not fallen so far as he is? |
A27064 | And so make Hell thus far to be no Hell? |
A27064 | And so not attain the fruit of that Govenant thereby? |
A27064 | And so that in rejecting it they never were guilty of rejecting or sinning against any love or mercy? |
A27064 | And therefore if the effect follow not, the Law enquires, Who it is long of? |
A27064 | And 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? |
A27064 | And this God could not but accept,( consequenter ad Leges) For who can refuse the proper debt? |
A27064 | And through thy knowledg shall thy weak Brother perish, for whom Christ died? |

A27064 | And what difference( as to their ransome) between most men, and Devils? |
A27064 | And what if all that they supposed of this Text had been true? |
A27064 | And what if it were so in some places? |
A27064 | And what is that Kingdom( here meant) but the Gospel? |
A27064 | And what other buying with a price can you here devise? |
A27064 | And what the better is he for whom it was never paid? |
A27064 | And why may we not as well say Christ Redeemed men to Salvation, that yet for rejecting it are not saved? |
A27064 | And 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? |
A27064 | And why then should we obey a King that is not our King? |
A27064 | And would he not have cried out on the offerer as a deceiver, and unjust and cruel? |
A27064 | Are none of their sins Original or Actual, nor any of their sufferings or disunion from Christ and Alienation from God, punishments to them? |
A27064 | Are those Dispositions Gods Gifts or not? |
A27064 | At least, not as any Redeemer or Friend of theirs? |
A27064 | But I have no knowledg whether he be either my Redeemer, or sufficient, or willing? |
A27064 | But because he asks, who dare say this? |
A27064 | But doth not God decree it? |
A27064 | But he never bid any man, examine thy self whether thou be redeemed, or whether Christ dyed for thee? |
A27064 | But how can the meer light of Nature discern Gospel Truths, without a supernatural Revelation? |
A27064 | But on what ground is this? |
A27064 | But what if their various acception were granted? |
A27064 | But who dare say that it is unmeet for God to give men such effectual grace as shall Infallibly cause them to Believe? |
A27064 | But why doth not God compel all to come in as well as some? |
A27064 | But will you say, it saith not for every man? |
A27064 | Can Men walk to Heaven by Faith without a Redeemer? |
A27064 | Can 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? |
A27064 | Can any obligation dissolve or remit it self? |
A27064 | Can he have all his debt, and remit it too? |
A27064 | Can they make this? |
A27064 | Could God give them Christ as a Satisfier and Redeemer, who never had satisfied for them or redeemed? |
A27064 | Death 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? |
A27064 | Did he send his Son that they might be saved? |
A27064 | Did not Christ bear the Curse of the Law for us, that he might Redeem them that were under the Law? |
A27064 | Did 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? |
A27064 | Do not these men know that they vent all these confident zealous insultings, directly against the Scripture expressions, as well as against ours? |
A27064 | Do these men think that the unrenewed faculty hath need of no Grace but an object or perswasion from without, to cause it to believe? |
A27064 | Doth it any where except any one man, and say Christ died not for him? |
A27064 | Doth it follow that therefore he hath Ransomed the Irish, because he hath power to judg and destroy them, or use them in servitude? |
A27064 | Doth it not plainly say, that all things( else) are ready; when yet Faith in them was unready, for they would not? |
A27064 | Doth it not signifie a defect in our belief of the truth of Scripture? |
A27064 | Doth it say any where that he died only for his Sheep, or his Elect, and exclude the Non- Elect? |
A27064 | Doth it say, as plainly any where that he died not for all? |
A27064 | Doth not Christ himself expresly speak of not forgiving sin in this life or that to come? |
A27064 | Doth 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? |
A27064 | Doth not the Text plainly distinguish here between Faith and all the Benefits that by Faith we are partakers of? |
A27064 | Doth the Judg execute all the penalty; and yet forgive it? |
A27064 | Either he hath satisfied for me before I believe or not? |
A27064 | Even then when it openly discovereth it self false or is supposed so to do? |
A27064 | Examine your selves whether you be in the Faith, know ye not your own selves that Jesus Christ is in you except ye be Reprobates? |
A27064 | For how can the Omniscient, Immutable God, be suddenly surprized with a new purpose which never came into his mind before our being Believers? |
A27064 | For is this making all ready? |
A27064 | For the Question now is, Whether God can give Pardon to a Man for whom Christ hath not satisfyed? |
A27064 | For though a Law not promulgate can not oblige, yet the Question is, Who it was long of? |
A27064 | For what can any Law in the World require or any Lawgiver, in exactest justice, but that the Law be perfectly fulfilled? |
A27064 | For what have we to persuade us that Christ is the eternal God but plain Scripture? |
A27064 | For who will offer a gift to us to be accepted that it may be ours, if we have accepted it already? |
A27064 | God will so bless you, if you are willing or reject it not? |
A27064 | Hath Christ virtue to be derived for the saving of any that he died not for? |
A27064 | Hath every place that treats of proper Redemption such an addition? |
A27064 | Hath it not too plain a tendency to infidelity and disobedience? |
A27064 | Hath not the Prince here Ransomed all the Scots over whom he hath his Jus Dominii& Imperii? |
A27064 | He hath not said, either, if thou believe I will die for thee? |
A27064 | Hence you may see how to judge of the Controversie so much agitated between us and the Papists, Utrum Remissd Culpa remaneat poena temporalis? |
A27064 | How can he call any thing[ a way of Salvation wide enough] which presupposeth not Christs satisfaction for the person? |
A27064 | How 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?] |
A27064 | How can he truely say[ there is enough in the remedy] Which is as to them no Remedy? |
A27064 | How can it be said that by the sufficiency of his Ransome he is able to save them, for whom it is no Ransome? |
A27064 | How 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? |
A27064 | How can this man give us his Flesh to eat? |
A27064 | How could we believe in, or receive Christ as our Redeemer, who never Redeemed us? |
A27064 | How could we hear him as such, and call on him as such, or trust him as such,? |
A27064 | How could we obey Christ as our Lord- redeemer, who was not our Lord- redeemer? |
A27064 | How else should God judge the World? |
A27064 | How few then of the Elect themselves should do it? |
A27064 | How much doth it differ from the language of Men when they are pleading for Separation? |
A27064 | How will the divulging of these, glorify God? |
A27064 | I 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? |
A27064 | I will not examine the truth of that now, but if it be true of them on Earth, why not also of them in Hell? |
A27064 | If God had spoke in so strange a language once in all the Bible? |
A27064 | If any say, God is not capable of injustice, if you should suppose the breach of his promise? |
A27064 | If every one in the World be intended, why doth not the Lord in the pursuit of this Love reveal Christ to all so loved? |
A27064 | If for some only, who then can be saved,& c? |
A27064 | If he have, how shall I know it? |
A27064 | If he procure by his Death no possibility of their Salvation, but induce a necessity of their deep condemnation? |
A27064 | If 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? |
A27064 | If there be, what is that necessity? |
A27064 | Is Christ any readier for those he died not for, than for the Devils? |
A27064 | Is all this so with those in Hell? |
A27064 | Is it because Christ Dyed only for one, or that one only believed and the other refused Christ? |
A27064 | Is not Christ God? |
A27064 | Is not a man bound to mourn over him whom his sins have pierced before he knoweth himself to be Elect? |
A27064 | Is not he unjust that denieth him an acquittance and the cancelling of the obligation, who hath fully paid him all his due? |
A27064 | Is not punishment due to them both in this Life and that to come? |
A27064 | Is not that in high pride to prefer your own understandings before the wisdom of the Spirit of God, who indicted the Scriptures? |
A27064 | Is not the Gospel the savour of death to some? |
A27064 | Is not the Salvation of Men the Fruit of Christs dying for them? |
A27064 | Is the obligation fulfilled, and remitted or relaxed too? |
A27064 | Is there any contradiction more palpable? |
A27064 | Is there enough in that remedy to heal the Devils if they believed? |
A27064 | Is this Non- resistance or Willingness to Believe the Gift of God or not? |
A27064 | It 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? |
A27064 | It 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? |
A27064 | Lastly, 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? |
A27064 | Let me imagine such a Dialogue as this between such a Teacher and a Sinner? |
A27064 | M. But Christ hath satisfied for all if they will believe? |
A27064 | Make Christ a Sacrifice for all, ready? |
A27064 | May he not do with his own as he list? |
A27064 | May it not be said of an Atheist ▪[ He denieth the God that made him,] as an aggravation of his particular sin? |
A27064 | May not God give power to those Devils which were the Gods of Damascus, really to smite Ahaz? |
A27064 | May not a Man by this dealing say what he will as the meaning of Scripture? |
A27064 | Men and Brethren what shall we do to be saved? |
A27064 | Moreover, Christ saith now, how oft would I have gathered you? |
A27064 | Must Men first believe without love that by the Mark of such a Faith they may have ground for love? |
A27064 | Must it not do that before it can heal any other disease? |
A27064 | Must not the application be first to God by satisfying him before it can be made to Man by believing? |
A27064 | Nay how can it be accepted before it is offered? |
A27064 | Negando enim causam negat affectum: Quaeris cur nulla supersit? |
A27064 | Nihil ergo rectius quam luisse pro nobis Christum poenas: num aliquas tantum, an vero omnes? |
A27064 | Nor of the quantity of Torment, for intension or duration? |
A27064 | Now 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?] |
A27064 | Now I would know of any man, would you believe that Christ died for all men if the Scripture plainly speak it? |
A27064 | Now 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? |
A27064 | Now 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? |
A27064 | Now what is said against this? |
A27064 | Object But doth not God''s foreknowledge and decree make mens Salvation impossible, as well as Christs not Dying for them? |
A27064 | Only I say, when Christ died Millions of Men were actually saved: Did God send his Son to save them that were saved already? |
A27064 | Or are they called to make it? |
A27064 | Or deny an acquittance to him that dischargeth it? |
A27064 | Or did ever wise Judge absolve an offender on that ground? |
A27064 | Or his Redemption? |
A27064 | Or is there such a true Faith? |
A27064 | Or let me perish in my Sin, and State of nature? |
A27064 | Or only the Value, and not the same full debt? |
A27064 | Or rather for the most hainous aggravation of his fault? |
A27064 | Or rather, is it not spoken of the end of Gods Legislative Will, and so is meant of a conditional gift? |
A27064 | Or that he who is sanctified by the Blood of the Covenant, was one whose sins caused that Blood? |
A27064 | Or that the enjoyment of these may stand with the full execution of the sentence of the Law? |
A27064 | Or that this Man( Judas) is not delivered and saved as well as that( Peter?) |
A27064 | Or to cure his wicked nature? |
A27064 | Or to justifie him if he be accused as liable to punishment? |
A27064 | Or trust to his Blood for Justification, which was never shed for us? |
A27064 | Or what justice can refuse to acquit him that hath paid all that was due? |
A27064 | Or why the Prince should tell them, There remained no more Ransom for them when they were never ransomed at all? |
A27064 | Or would coming in serve turn without satisfaction? |
A27064 | Or would he not approve of his ow ● unbelief, and say, why should I have trusted such a one? |
A27064 | Or would their coming in make it, which was not before made? |
A27064 | Or, Who was the faulty cause that it was not Published? |
A27064 | Or, Why then should we hear that Prophet who was no Prophet to us? |
A27064 | Rather then Jesus Christ as Redeemer? |
A27064 | SOme think this Question whether Christ paid the Idem or Tantundem? |
A27064 | Shall we say that is not so which we see to be so, because we can not find why it is so? |
A27064 | Should a man in danger of Death do nothing for his own safety without a certainty of success? |
A27064 | Should 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? |
A27064 | Sinner, Did you not tell me he satisfied only for the Elect, and that determined by name? |
A27064 | So Paraeus expoundeth it; sed quomodo hoc faciendo Christum denuò crucifigunt sibimetipsis? |
A27064 | Such Promises are not to all, nor Conditional: If they are, what is the Condition? |
A27064 | That he hath himself performed the condition of the new Covenant? |
A27064 | That is absolutely all? |
A27064 | That 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? |
A27064 | That 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? |
A27064 | That''s true, it was one cause, but how follows the consequence? |
A27064 | The General Question, Whether Christ Died for All Men, and not only for the Elect? |
A27064 | The proclaiming and offer of Christ as Redeemer, and of mercy in and with him? |
A27064 | The question is, Why these Men are not saved? |
A27064 | The work of Preachers is, the Ministry of teconciliation: And wherein lies it? |
A27064 | Then said the Lord of the Vineyard what shall I do? |
A27064 | This will be no excuse to the refusers: what if God had only invited all, and compelled none? |
A27064 | To you first God sent his Son Jesus to bless you, in turning every one of you from his Iniquities? |
A27064 | VVas it any proof that he would not judge Unbelievers because he came not to judge but to save the Elect? |
A27064 | What Law can require more then all? |
A27064 | What Man then will believe that it was called Holy, meerly from the Peoples professing to be Holy? |
A27064 | What can any creditor require, but the Idem, the very debt it self which the obligation did contain? |
A27064 | What can be required more then all? |
A27064 | What else is our distinction between Temporary Faith and saving? |
A27064 | What hast thou which thou hast not received? |
A27064 | What if he had suffered all to perish in their wilfulness? |
A27064 | What if it had been otherwise? |
A27064 | What is the Condition? |
A27064 | What is the cause that almost all the World live in security never almost touched for their horrible Sins? |
A27064 | What of that? |
A27064 | What other price than Christs blood doth God buy men with? |
A27064 | What will not the lust of contradicting persuade men to? |
A27064 | What''s this to the point? |
A27064 | When satisfaction to justice is unready? |
A27064 | Where is it then that the force of the Argument lyeth that would prove that all must needs have Faith for whom Christ Died? |
A27064 | Whether it be not for want of a right use of the means? |
A27064 | Who art thou that disputest against God? |
A27064 | Whose fault was it? |
A27064 | Why do we intreat them to be reconciled to God? |
A27064 | Why else may not we still use this Language, if it be true that it is the perpetual course of Scripture? |
A27064 | Why should we be thankful to Christ for Redeeming us, when he did not at all redeem us, Should we be thankful for nothing? |
A27064 | Will that justifie? |
A27064 | Will they say that he Died for the Non- elect, if they will believe? |
A27064 | Will you therefore deny one of them when both are plain? |
A27064 | Would so many doubts be raised, whether he mean the whole Army or part? |
A27064 | Would the New Covenant serve to pardon men without Christs Sacrifice and Satisfaction? |
A27064 | Wretch that I am? |
A27064 | Yea how can he urge any to rest on Christ at all? |
A27064 | Yea what if I said that strictly and directly men suffer not at all the penalty of the Law of Works? |
A27064 | Yes, it saith, He is the propitiation for the sins of the whole World? |
A27064 | You''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? |
A27064 | against the Arrians; and must we give up that argument for nothing? |
A27064 | all Elect to whom Paul speaks? |
A27064 | and Christ a stumbling stone, and Rock of offence? |
A27064 | and all such as I that never come to assurance? |
A27064 | and 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? |
A27064 | and for not believing in him to save them by his death, who never died for them? |
A27064 | and for whom it was shed? |
A27064 | and if he compel some, is that any wrong to the rest? |
A27064 | and should we make light of that which lay so heavy on him? |
A27064 | and to have said it was spoken but 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, because they professed it to be so? |
A27064 | and will you by force of VVit thence prove that God made not all men? |
A27064 | and ye scorners delight in scorning and fools hate knowledge? |
A27064 | hath he not made thee and established thee? |

A41644 | What is their work, but to lull us asleep, and then to be butchering of us? |
A41644 | What is this but to disown the greatness of the favours God bestows upon us? |
A41644 | What is this but to make God an unholy God? |
A41644 | What is weeping good for, but to testifie our sorrow for sin? |
A41644 | What less in our thoughts than how much God hath done for us? |
A41644 | What makes a stop to our deliverance, but our continuance in sin? |
A41644 | What may God expect, when stretching out his hand to help us, but tha ● then we will inclin ● our hearts to honour him? |
A41644 | What more merited, what more just? |
A41644 | What more provoking sight can be beheld, than a man impudent in evil under judgment, and barren in good under mercies? |
A41644 | What more unjust, than to cross such gracious designs as these? |
A41644 | What need then is there to apply our selves most frequently to the Throne of Grace, for heavenly Influences on earthly Blessings? |
A41644 | What need then is there to be careful, that we disoblige not Mercy? |
A41644 | What notice is there taken that such a work hath been done amongst us? |
A41644 | What obedience, service, love, and respects, do sinners vow to God on a Bed of sickness, languishing to death? |
A41644 | What pretence can favour such Impieties? |
A41644 | What profession can cloak such Wickedness? |
A41644 | What readiness to do for man, when doing for us? |
A41644 | What shall I render to the Lord for all his mercy? |
A41644 | What should you have seen? |
A41644 | What sighs can be deep enough for a Nation so deeply involved in sin? |
A41644 | What stupifying Opiums hath the Devil perswaded us to swallow, that makes us so mindless of approaching miseries? |
A41644 | What then remains? |
A41644 | What though we are spared this once, after all our former evasions? |
A41644 | What was there but careless and senseless doings, when that dreadful Deluge surpriz''d the world of old? |
A41644 | What would we have promis''d then, when no less than a whole Nation was languishing, and every Enjoyment ready to give up the Ghost? |
A41644 | What, are you so impudent after all your unkindness to me, to seek kindness from me? |
A41644 | What, do ye that have forsaken me so long, flee to me now? |
A41644 | What, do ye think I will shelter such enemies as you? |
A41644 | When God hath lifted thee up from a low condition, and thou hast gone on in a wicked life, with what face canst thou look upon God again? |
A41644 | When men are soaked in Sensuality, flesht in Villany, thorough- paced in Rebellious courses, what is able to change them? |
A41644 | When mercies are new, how frequent is our remembrance of them? |
A41644 | When shall it once ● e, after so many lesser Judgments ● ounding warnings to us to prevent ● ur ruine? |
A41644 | Where are the lips that praise him, the lives that honour him for it? |
A41644 | Where are the tokens of thankful respects for unmerited favours? |
A41644 | Where are the weeping eyes, the mourning hearts? |
A41644 | Wherefore then hast thou despised the command of the Lord, to do this evil in his sight? |
A41644 | Whither now shall we go, when access is denyed to God? |
A41644 | Whither shall the poor creature go, if Mercy be gone? |
A41644 | Who could have endur''d the sight of Sucking- babes snatch''d from their Mothers breasts and dash''d against destroying stones? |
A41644 | Who could have seen them sprawling on the tops of Pikes and hurl''d into cruel Flames, without bleeding hearts? |
A41644 | Who could have thought Lot should fall into such Impieties, upon the receipt of such mercies? |
A41644 | Who lays to heart the operations of his hands? |
A41644 | Why Lord hast thou made Phocas an Emperour? |
A41644 | Why should we make him be doing his works of Judgment, since he declares his unwillingness to it? |
A41644 | Why should we not be made as Sodome by judgments, that parallel it in sins? |
A41644 | Why then do we flatter our selves, and cry Peace, peace? |
A41644 | Why will you blast all your hopes of escape, and wither that flower that''s springing up? |
A41644 | Wi ● God exercis ● Mercy to his own disadvantage? |
A41644 | Will a Master suffer a Servant to be engag''d in the work of another, when he hath hired him for his own? |
A41644 | Will a ● ational man put Weapons into the hands of those would slay him with them? |
A41644 | Will not God say thus to us, when fleeing to him in distress? |
A41644 | Will not God say, Be gone, I''ll admit you no more, I''ll hearken neither to your Prayers nor Promises? |
A41644 | Will not Vengeance fall upon us with a witness, if we proceed in such ungrateful courses? |
A41644 | Will not a consumption be decreed from the Lord of Hosts against us? |
A41644 | Will not inward troubles be a dreadful increase of distress in times of Judgment? |
A41644 | Will not our Foes be contriving and hastening our ruine, ere we have counsel to prevent it? |
A41644 | Will not our days be yet shortned, if we remain so straitned in Duties still? |
A41644 | Will not our furious enemies prevail over us, when our most fervent prayers can not prevail with God? |
A41644 | Will not our sinning after Deliverance give such cause of abstaining from pitying of us? |
A41644 | Will not the Enemies of our Nation be working all this while? |
A41644 | Will not the Lord soon rush out upon a people with wonderful plagues, when they are knocking at the door of justice by such impenitent courses? |
A41644 | Will not this grave- stone be laid upon us? |
A41644 | Will nothing serve your turn but destruction, and desolation, and undoing judgements? |
A41644 | Will security in sin be sufficient guard to preserve us from all Conspiracies? |
A41644 | Will this be a worthy deed, to spare a thief from the gallows to cut our throats? |
A41644 | Will ye steal, and murder, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations? |
A41644 | Will you hate me, because I help you? |
A41644 | Will you oppose me, because I appear so often for you? |
A41644 | Will you rebel, because I relieve you? |
A41644 | Will you tell the Lord, you are weary of his Mercies, and will never regard them? |
A41644 | Wilt make nothing of displeasing God, when he gives thee such Mercies as all the men on Earth can not bestow upon thee? |
A41644 | Wilt thou not fear God will tell thee, thy Prayer is an abomination? |
A41644 | Wilt thou stab me? |
A41644 | With what face can we trample on the just and sacred Commands of our merciful God, whilst he smiles upon us with such unmerited favours? |
A41644 | With what terrour may we look on those words? |
A41644 | Would Heathens offer to do such things to their feigned Gods, or offer such affronts unto them, could they but do such favours for them? |
A41644 | Would not this be a heavy Judgment? |
A41644 | Would not this be an unpardonable crime, and a means most infallibly to ruine us? |
A41644 | Would you deliver ● man to destroy you? |
A41644 | Would you have promised these things, and will you not perform them? |
A41644 | Wouldst thou not offend an earthly Friend, and wilt thou offend a heavenly Friend? |
A41644 | You have his sense of danger, if sin was persisted in after such a deliverance; Wouldst thou not consume us? |
A41644 | You whom I have so deliver''d? |
A41644 | You whom I have so often preserved, shall I meet with these dealings from you? |
A41644 | and may not God justly leave us to ruine, and suffer our destruction who deal thus unanswerably with him? |
A41644 | and ruining one another by unhappy Divisions? |
A41644 | and what else is our persistence in sin, but a testimony of our allowance of it? |
A41644 | and what may we thank but our pride and profaneness, our ingratitude and ungodliness, after obliging mercies? |
A41644 | and will not our sins in the abundance of mercies, make him destroy both us and our King? |
A41644 | are we out of his reach, that we fea ● no ruine? |
A41644 | but thus prone are we to abuse goodness, and ready to slight the greatest kindness: how often do we turn our Physick to poison? |
A41644 | but when nothing is successful, mercy gives over; and what but intolerable vengeance will then lye upon us? |
A41644 | can neither God nor man do us any harm, whilst we imagine our selves out of danger? |
A41644 | can we match him with equa ● forces? |
A41644 | can you daunt his unalterable courage? |
A41644 | can 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? |
A41644 | could you bear such undervaluing of kindness from fellow- Creatures? |
A41644 | dare you declare they deserve no obedience? |
A41644 | do we not profess him, and worship him? |
A41644 | filling our Land with the hateful noise of our crying Iniquities, when God hath fill''d it with the blessed sounds of unspeakable Mercies? |
A41644 | have we not been driving God away from us; as weary of his Ordinances, tired with Gospel- proffers, nauseating Mercies, and despising Deliverances? |
A41644 | how do we enjoy mercies, and never improve them? |
A41644 | how do we surfeit with mercies, and wax sick with the kindness of Heaven, and yet say, It shall be well with us? |
A41644 | how then can God from you? |
A41644 | let your Conscience speak, would not this be horrid Blasphemy? |
A41644 | or will not these showers of mercy suddenly ripen it? |
A41644 | shall I not be avenged on such a Nation as this? |
A41644 | shall all these things have no notice taken of them? |
A41644 | shall they all be dis- regarded? |
A41644 | shall we not then have his judgments, and feel his vengeance? |
A41644 | their highest, chiefest, most notorious si ● was at Gilgal; why there? |
A41644 | to have innumerable iniquities crying for judgments, and none to plead for them? |
A41644 | to have invincible enemies opposing of them, and none to assist them? |
A41644 | to have the glorious Gospel continued amongst us? |
A41644 | to mischief his Honour with his Mercies? |
A41644 | we read the wicked prosper; why are they not stopt in their courses? |
A41644 | we weary man, but will ye weary God also? |
A41644 | what displeasing Lust have I unfeignedly left? |
A41644 | what price would they give to be free from pain? |
A41644 | what spiritual Obedience have I closed withal, since I enjoyed this unspeakable Mercy? |
A41644 | when shall it ● nce be? |
A41644 | when that Embassador that was wo nt to prevail for a gracious Treaty, shall be denyed? |
A41644 | when that omnipotent engine can attract no compassions? |
A41644 | when that successful friend shall be denyed admittance to the Court of Heaven? |
A41644 | where shall we have supplies, if our former store- house be shut up? |
A41644 | which of us hath not suffered Divine Favours to slip out of our minds? |
A41644 | whither can we turn, when he turneth away our prayers? |
A41644 | why should it not be burnt? |
A41644 | will not the vials of wrath be unspeakably full, and the storm of vengeance most horrible, which hath been so long in gathering? |
A41644 | will this always continue? |
A41644 | will 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? |
A64642 | 1 Knowledge, that''s a thing requisite: Why? |
A64642 | 2: But suppose thou prevent everlasting death by repentance, yet what profit is there of those things whereof we are now for the present ashamed? |
A64642 | 3. saith, There shall be perillous times: And wherein lieth the peril? |
A64642 | 9. 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? |
A64642 | A blow lighting on Gods fellow, equal with God, of what value is it? |
A64642 | A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, untill he send forth judgment unto victory? |
A64642 | A cursed and desperate Doctrine they conclude hence: Why( say they) may not this man be saved as well as the best? |
A64642 | A dead man then hath his walk you see: a strange thing in the dead, but who directs him in his course? |
A64642 | A man now in this estate is weigh''d down, what will he be six, seven, or ten years hence, going on in his impenitency? |
A64642 | A pair of turtle doves or two young Pigeons: But was this the Law? |
A64642 | Again, how comes this peace to wicked men? |
A64642 | And again, Do we not say, well, thou art a Samaritan, that is, a Heretick? |
A64642 | And are not our proceedings in Judiciary Courts after this manner? |
A64642 | And by this means we fall into the temptation of Eve, a questioning whether Gods threats are true or not? |
A64642 | And for a man to be brought before Gods Judgment- seat, and have nothing to answer, how will it fare with him then? |
A64642 | And here may some say, is there any of us who can avouch that he eats and drinks at the Lords Table worthily? |
A64642 | And how doth he take his Priest- hood upon him? |
A64642 | And it is the more dangerous; for who is in more danger then he that is blind and will be blind? |
A64642 | And may not God say the like to us? |
A64642 | And may one fasten comfort on one in such a condition, on a dead man? |
A64642 | And remission of sinnes hath relation to those that are past, as appears by inevitable reason; for what is remission of sinnes, but sinne covered? |
A64642 | And shall this serve to excuse thee, by comparing thy self with others that are worse? |
A64642 | And the drift of the place is this, when the Spirit shall come, how? |
A64642 | And this is made a point of faith: Believest thou this? |
A64642 | And this kinde of justification must of necessity be by imputation: why? |
A64642 | And was not this a shame thus to be stripped before thousands? |
A64642 | And what impudency is it in them to go about to cut off that which is the whole comfort of a Christian? |
A64642 | And what is the reason? |
A64642 | And what is the second death? |
A64642 | And why should we suffer Satan to abuse us thus? |
A64642 | And ye, wherein ye walked,& c. But who are they? |
A64642 | Are there any common graces and natural endowments in the miserable soul? |
A64642 | Art thou a Minister? |
A64642 | Art thou faln into sin? |
A64642 | As Philip told the Eunuch, if thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest: If with the heart: but with what faculties may you say? |
A64642 | As appeares in Hezekiah, who though he were a good man, yet with how sad a heart doth he entertain the message of death? |
A64642 | As long as thou continuest in a course of rebellion, what hast thou to do to talk of peace? |
A64642 | As when a Scholar is whip''t for not saying his lesson, is he whip''t think you for nothing? |
A64642 | At his Fathers Trade, I say, for so it s said of him, Is not this the Carpenter? |
A64642 | Awake thou that sleepest,& c. Unless this awaken us, in what case are we? |
A64642 | Because I do something that God requires, shall I think I do as much as I need? |
A64642 | But O Sir, you are a great Patron of free- will: What? |
A64642 | But can there be a greater sin then the sin of Sodome? |
A64642 | But did God leave these Jewels amongst men to be trodden under feet by such swine; shall they not dearly pay for it? |
A64642 | But doth God justifie the ungodly? |
A64642 | But doth this Lamb of God take away all the sins of the world? |
A64642 | But how is it with thee? |
A64642 | But how? |
A64642 | But if it be so, I ask such, What is the benefit and advantage of the Jew more then the Gentile? |
A64642 | But if this be so grievous, what is it to lose Heaven? |
A64642 | But is there not a third thing that the work of the Ministry must do? |
A64642 | But 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? |
A64642 | But may some say, what needs this haste, may we not use leisure? |
A64642 | But now cometh a greater question; If by justification our sinnes be forgiven us, what sinnes are forgiven I pray? |
A64642 | But now what parts hath justification in it? |
A64642 | But now when I am come thither, what do I say there? |
A64642 | But now you will say, when I have sinned afterward, how come I then to be justified? |
A64642 | But now, where are we thus shut up? |
A64642 | But then again, when thou art thus pulled asunder, what becomes of the parts separated? |
A64642 | But then what need a man look for a great faith? |
A64642 | But this forgivenesse of sinnes, what doth it free us from? |
A64642 | But what is my actual election? |
A64642 | But what is sinne nothing? |
A64642 | But what is the remedy of this fear? |
A64642 | But what is this second death? |
A64642 | But what needs such haste, I may do it hereafter, when I come to my journeys end? |
A64642 | But what shall I get by him, then saith the wife? |
A64642 | But what then? |
A64642 | But what was the end of their doing thus? |
A64642 | But what was the reason hereof? |
A64642 | But what''s become of the soul now? |
A64642 | But what''s the answer? |
A64642 | But what''s the reason men should thus stand more in fear of men then of God? |
A64642 | But what, did God care for these things? |
A64642 | But when we come thither, what must we do? |
A64642 | But which is that day? |
A64642 | But who should this man be? |
A64642 | But why should Christians be so foolish, so troubled? |
A64642 | But why should God select this vertue among others that are more noble? |
A64642 | But why then do I pray for it? |
A64642 | But with whom is this peace? |
A64642 | By his knowledge shall my righteous servant justifie many: Knowledge is an Act primarily requisite to Faith? |
A64642 | By 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? |
A64642 | By whose means? |
A64642 | Can I shew that there is any such humiliation as this? |
A64642 | Can any sin be so great as to over- top the value of Christs blood? |
A64642 | Can it be expected that we should have our good in this world, and in the world to come too? |
A64642 | Can they make any impression? |
A64642 | Can you offer God a greater wrong and indignity? |
A64642 | Canst thou but humble thy self? |
A64642 | Canst thou have a better word from thy Prince then this? |
A64642 | Canst 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? |
A64642 | Consider the particulars of it, he took on him the form of a servant; Was not this a great humiliation? |
A64642 | Cut down this fruitlesse tree, why cumbers it the ground? |
A64642 | Despisest thou the riches of Gods grace, not knowing that the long- suffering of God leadeth to repentance? |
A64642 | Despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance? |
A64642 | Despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long- suffering? |
A64642 | Did Christ suffer the pains and torments of Hell? |
A64642 | Did not you tell me that it was not every faith that did justifie, but a working faith? |
A64642 | Do we think God is not in earnest with us? |
A64642 | Do you t ● ● ● k it a small matter to be the Kings son? |
A64642 | Do you think the members of the body, which have been the instruments, shall escape? |
A64642 | Do you thus requite the Lord you foolish and unwise? |
A64642 | Do you thus requite the Lord? |
A64642 | Does God at the first Preaching of the Gospel begin with Adam by Preaching Christ, before he saw his sin and wickednesse? |
A64642 | Doest thou not fear, I say, that dismal sentence, cut it down, why combreth it the ground? |
A64642 | Dost thou finde in thy self an hungring and thirsting after Christ? |
A64642 | Dost thou harden thy heart? |
A64642 | Dost thou see the wine poured out? |
A64642 | Dost thou think God will take this at thy hands? |
A64642 | Dost thou think a dead faith can make a living soule? |
A64642 | Dost thou think he will drink the dregs, and eat the orts? |
A64642 | Dost 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? |
A64642 | Dost thou( saith God) lift thy self up against him before whom all the powers of Heaven do tremble? |
A64642 | Doth not he injoine us to do it? |
A64642 | Doth the God of love teach us hatred? |
A64642 | Every 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? |
A64642 | Exaltest thou thy self against him who inhabiteth Eternity? |
A64642 | Examine then, what need have I to eat my meat and drink? |
A64642 | Examine thy self then, does the working of the Word rub and gall thee? |
A64642 | Faith when it comes, empties thee of all that is in thee: To whom be the Gospel preached? |
A64642 | Fear not, why? |
A64642 | First, Against the first Table, they accuse him of Blasphemy, and therefore condemn him in the Ecclesiastical Court: Do you hear his Blasphemy? |
A64642 | First, he enlightens me, and so he is made unto me wisdome; well, he is my Priest; how so? |
A64642 | First, in this life he is alwayes a dying man: Man that is born of a woman, what is he? |
A64642 | For what is the glory we shall have in heaven but the inlargement of those inherent graces God begins in this world? |
A64642 | Get? |
A64642 | Go offer such a gift to thy Ruler, to thy Prince, will he accept it, or be pleased with it? |
A64642 | God hath given thee an express command to the contrary, and yet hast thou done this? |
A64642 | God justifieth, who shall condemn? |
A64642 | God will not like with it, when we serve our selves first with the best and choise? |
A64642 | God would have me renew my acts of faith; and if of faith, why not of repentance, and of prayer? |
A64642 | Had 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? |
A64642 | Hast thou no Will to Christ? |
A64642 | Hast 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? |
A64642 | Hath Christ knocked, and thou hast given him a slievelesse answer, and hast thou joy? |
A64642 | He cryed, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
A64642 | He held fast to God; Why hast thou forsaken me? |
A64642 | He might stand upon his priviledge: Of whom do the Kings of the earth exact Tribute? |
A64642 | He said unto me, what seest thou? |
A64642 | How am I made partaker of Christs Prophetical office? |
A64642 | How can it be? |
A64642 | How cometh it to pass that we are so careless of death? |
A64642 | How did God take away his judgment? |
A64642 | How doth he gather this from his crying? |
A64642 | How is Christs righteousnesse imputed to me? |
A64642 | How many motions to good hast thou rejected? |
A64642 | How must this be done? |
A64642 | How then could this threatning hold true? |
A64642 | How will he then shake that off, which now he can not free himself of? |
A64642 | How? |
A64642 | I 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? |
A64642 | I counsel thee to buy of me gold tryed in the fire: Why? |
A64642 | I gave thee other gifts of mind, how didst thou imploy them? |
A64642 | I 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? |
A64642 | I say, how can I be justified in the first sense any other way than by imputation? |
A64642 | I say, no doubt but he may; and why? |
A64642 | I should now come and descend unto the dependence one hath on the other:( i. e.) in what respect doth faith justifie? |
A64642 | I take away the ill office you did me: Doth he forgive thus? |
A64642 | If a man put away his Wife, and she go from him, shall he return unto her again? |
A64642 | If a man should ask, may I love my Neighbour? |
A64642 | If a man should take the excrements of a beast to adorn himself, would not we think him an ass? |
A64642 | If another man should look on you both, would he not account thee partial? |
A64642 | If he see thy sins, and would fain come in, what an encouragement hast thou to open? |
A64642 | If it be a free gift why is faith required? |
A64642 | If one bear holy flesh,& c. shall he be unclean? |

A47509 | And bring a blot for ever on thy name? |
A47509 | And by, what means shall his dear Blood be shed? |
A47509 | And can one think, if the Disciples durst Attempt that thing, they should have stript him first? |
A47509 | And darest thou, O Soul, conceal this Foe? |
A47509 | And did I bear it all for love to thee? |
A47509 | And dost thou love to play with such a thing? |
A47509 | And dost thou think thou shalt escape this fate? |
A47509 | And doth the Son i''th midst of Enemies Yield up himself to be a Sacrifice? |
A47509 | And how came she into so sad a Case, That once adorned was with so much Grace? |
A47509 | And ignorant be when guilty of high Treason? |
A47509 | And is thy mind on folly wholly bent? |
A47509 | And may not all this thy Love to me procure? |
A47509 | And must I still be kept out of thy door? |
A47509 | And my celestial Kingdom leave for thee? |
A47509 | And sensual Objects harbour''d in thy heart? |
A47509 | And shall I be unfaithful unto thee? |
A47509 | And shall I''gainst my fancy foolishly admire, Where I no beauty see to tempt desire? |
A47509 | And shall not I lament, nor shed a Tear? |
A47509 | And those be kill''d Which so much pleasure unto me afford? |
A47509 | And unto him wilt thou no kindness show? |
A47509 | And were my feet and hands nail''d to the Tree, Whilst my dear Father hid his Face from me? |
A47509 | And what Creature is this must have possession Of such a glorious Heart? |
A47509 | And who can pity thee? |
A47509 | And wilt not thou learn wisdom Soul, from thence? |
A47509 | And wilt thou dandle sin still on thy knee? |
A47509 | Are Thirty pence enough? |
A47509 | Are all her Merchandize but empty toys? |
A47509 | Art dark? |
A47509 | Art thou beleaguer''d? |
A47509 | Art thou likewise brought down unto my feet? |
A47509 | Art thou, Apollyon, such a wretched Sot? |
A47509 | Awake, why do I sleep? |
A47509 | Away he goes, resolv''d the work to do: A work, Lord, did I say? |
A47509 | BUT to proceed, Will you lift up your Eyes, And view the Rage of Hellish Enemies? |
A47509 | Besides all this, much more I have to boast: Which of the Champions of thy Earthly Host Have I not overcome, and put to flight? |
A47509 | Besides, were they asleep, how could they tell What things there came to pass, or what befell? |
A47509 | But here t is like some may desire to know The cause why he abas''d himself so low? |
A47509 | But it is gone? |
A47509 | But some may ask, Why th''people of that Land Did rise against him thus on every hand? |
A47509 | But some''t is like may ask a question here, Unto what Parts or Region did he steer? |
A47509 | But 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? |
A47509 | But thus''t was not with the blest Prince of Light; What can be hid from Great Jehovah''s sight? |
A47509 | But to proceed — how can my spirits hold? |
A47509 | But what if Judgment says it must not be, Nor Truth nor Conscience with us will agree? |
A47509 | But what was Jonathan ● s great love to this? |
A47509 | But where is she, and what is her Estate? |
A47509 | But why didst thou into a Garden go Thus to encounter with the hellish Foe? |
A47509 | But why, said I, distrest? |
A47509 | But will you hear How things are carry''d, how they manag''d are? |
A47509 | But wilt thou view the wound That''s made in me? |
A47509 | But, how was he expos''d, what did they do? |
A47509 | Ca n''t strength subdue? |
A47509 | Ca n''t subtilty deceive? |
A47509 | Can I believe things''bove my sense and reason? |
A47509 | Can Infinite Perfections be exprest? |
A47509 | Can any joy and sweetness be like this? |
A47509 | Can any think the God o''th Universe Would be unfaithful, as to change the course Of Nature, meerly to assert a Lye? |
A47509 | Can the great Prince of Earth and Heaven feel Such heavy strokes, as thus to make him reel? |
A47509 | Can the kind Heavens do a damage greater, Than to destroy and ruin their poor Creature? |
A47509 | Can thine imperfect Righteousness to come, Discharge of by- past ills, so vast a sum? |
A47509 | Can this be so? |
A47509 | Can worldly Comforts raise thee to such bliss? |
A47509 | Can''st thou dost think, God''s fearful vengeance bear? |
A47509 | Canst be so vile, so impudent, and base? |
A47509 | Christ is the Judge, And to repeat his Sentence who can grudge? |
A47509 | Come from his Father''s Bosom where he lay, To be the Wolves and Dragons chiefest prey? |
A47509 | Could Devils offer God a worse Disgrace? |
A47509 | Could man or Angel ev''r have born all this, And not have been cast down to th''deepst Abyss? |
A47509 | Could none keep out the light? |
A47509 | Could not that charming, Melody above, Allure thy thoughts and, hinder thy remove? |
A47509 | Dar''st, dar''st adventure still to live in Sin? |
A47509 | Delays are dangerous, Devils well know that: But why need they Grim Satan instigate? |
A47509 | Destroy my Pow''r, and tread my Kingdom down? |
A47509 | Did Abraham''s Servant readily comply With his Command with great''st fidelity? |
A47509 | Did I Man''s humane nature freely take? |
A47509 | Did I engage the cruel''st of all Foes? |
A47509 | Did I from men and Devils meet with blows? |
A47509 | Did I my bed in a poor Manger make? |
A47509 | Did I not suffer to dissolve the knot Between thee and all Lust? |
A47509 | Did I such kind of tortures undergoe Which men nor Angels ca n''t conceive or know? |
A47509 | Did Wrath pursue, and Justice fall on me? |
A47509 | Did ever Lover go so far from Home To seek a Spouse? |
A47509 | Did ever creature deal thus by a Lover, Or ever such inhumaneness discover? |
A47509 | Did he not gripe thee sorely for thy pain? |
A47509 | Did not Rebeck ● yiel''d, and chuse to go With Abram''s servant? |
A47509 | Did, did I love thee from Eternity? |
A47509 | Didst thou, sweet Lord, my heavy burthen bear? |
A47509 | Do Mortals ever greater love extend, Then to lay down their lives for a dear Friend? |
A47509 | Do n''t Satan''s rage, his enmity, and wrath Against the Soul, shew forth its precious worth? |
A47509 | Do n''t people leap for Joy, whil''st Angels sing, To welcome in their long expected King? |
A47509 | Do not great Swarms of people''bout him sly, Like to some strange and glorious Prodigy? |
A47509 | Do not his Works, and his most glorious Name, His blessed Nature unto all proclaim? |
A47509 | Do not the Conduits through all streets combine, In stead of Water, wholly to run Wine? |
A47509 | Dost know, grim Tyrant, who''t is thou treadst down? |
A47509 | Dost not perceive the sad state thou art in By curs''d Apollyon, and his off- spring, SIN? |
A47509 | Dost not perceive what I for thee endure? |
A47509 | Dost not thou tremble at this frightful news? |
A47509 | Dost not, O Soul, deserve for this to die? |
A47509 | Dost see thy state, thy bloody state? |
A47509 | Dost think the Law can help thee? |
A47509 | Dost thou more good in that soul Brat espy, Than is in all the glorious Trinitie? |
A47509 | Doth Conscience yield? |
A47509 | Doth not her Soul dissolve then into tears, With thoughts of him who freed her from all fears? |
A47509 | Doth not the Trumpet sound, And Joy and melody sweetly abound I''th hearts of all, who heard of this good News? |
A47509 | Doth she not wait? |
A47509 | Doth this not with thy present purpose suit? |
A47509 | Fearfully am I made: how canst tell? |
A47509 | For 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? |
A47509 | For what is Sin, is''t not a deadly evil, The filthy spawn and off- spring of the Devil? |
A47509 | From ruling men and Devils, now to be Tempted by both of them, scarce ever free? |
A47509 | From whence is it? |
A47509 | Great 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? |
A47509 | Has he on Earth any such spightful Foe, As dare''s attempt this''mazing thing to do? |
A47509 | Has he so much esteemed thee? |
A47509 | Has none found out a way to make him yield, And either by fraud or force to quit the Field? |
A47509 | Hast any kindness for me in thine Heart? |
A47509 | Hast thou forgot, or knowst thou not, mine eyes Have been enlight''ned? |
A47509 | Hast thou no other Bait, nor weapon got? |
A47509 | Hast, hast thou suck''d this deadly poison in, And dost not see thy vital parts begin To swell? |
A47509 | Hath she not slighted Christ, like unto those That him reject, and cleave unto his Foes? |
A47509 | Have I with joy, delight, and chearful heart Indur''d all this excessive pain and smart, And out of precious love to thee I bore? |
A47509 | Have not the Mighty fallen by my hand, Enforc''d to yeild to me in every Land? |
A47509 | Have you not brought him then? |
A47509 | He resteth in his love; and who can turn His heart away, or damp those flames that burn In his dear breast? |
A47509 | He that gave bounds unto the Sea and Land, What is not in his Power to command? |
A47509 | He that to them no harm did do or think, And yet must he this bitter potion drink? |
A47509 | He''d have him doubt or question, if t were so? |

A47509 | He''s wise, all- wise, only wise; shall I speak? |

A47509 | How have they sung with flames about their Ears, Contemning pains, regardless of all fears? |
A47509 | How heavy is that stroke, how sharp that Rod, That''s lifted up by men, laid on by God? |
A47509 | How heavy, O how bitter was the Cross Once unto me? |
A47509 | How is''t with thee, hast thou not heard the news, What for thy sake I suffer''d by the Jews? |
A47509 | How loth''s the Flesh to yield, that Grace may win The happy Conquest of a Bosom- sin? |
A47509 | How oft have we stood by thee; sent thee forth To do our will and pleasure on the Earth? |
A47509 | How often did they in clandestine way Endeavour their blood- thirsty hands to lay Upon this Sacred Prince? |
A47509 | How prodigal thou seem''st? |

A47509 | I offer up to thee; M ● ● they atone for mine Iniquity? |
A47509 | I 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? |
A47509 | I prethee who To such a Traytor will compassion show? |
A47509 | I stand ama ●''d ● what guilt is on thy head? |
A47509 | I will lay The nature of the Soul unto thy view: Wouldst know its worth? |

A47509 | Is he betray''d to Death? |
A47509 | Is it not plain he can do what he list, Who holds the mighty Winds as in his fist? |
A47509 | Is love to Sin, and filthy Lust so sweet, That Jesus must be trodden under feet? |
A47509 | Is she inflamed, is she all on fire In love to him, who out of love did die, Her to espouse, and save Eternally? |
A47509 | Is sin God''s foe? |
A47509 | Is there no pity in thee? |
A47509 | Is this thy wit, and can''st thou do no more Than give him that which was his own before? |
A47509 | Is this to recompence his fervent Love? |
A47509 | Is''t fit I should be threatned thus by thee? |
A47509 | Is''t not a shame Before thy Soveraign''s face to make a Claim Unto those Kingdoms, where thou hast no right? |

A47509 | Not once, but many times? |
A47509 | O Grace, beyond expression ▪ Doth the great God on me place his affection? |
A47509 | O do''nt she greatly crave One sight of him, one visit more to have? |

A47509 | Oh who Could think that a Disciple could do this, Betray his Lord with a false treach''rous kiss? |
A47509 | Oh why dost thou forsake Me in this needful hour? |
A47509 | Or fit the Manger should allotted be, For him to lay his Glorious Body in,( Of whom the Prophet saith he knew no Sin?) |
A47509 | Or in to some Elysian Fields, which might With Boundless Pleasures thither him invite? |
A47509 | Or was he great? |
A47509 | Or whither did he travel, whither go? |
A47509 | Or who would ever make another tryal, That has so often had such flat denyal? |

A47509 | Shall Heav''n rejoyce, and more concerned Earth Not sing aloud Jehovah''s praises forth? |
A47509 | Shall I be foiled thus? |
A47509 | Shall I now descend Into particulars? |
A47509 | Shall I step in, that Justice may delay To strike the stroke, for then too late''t will be To show my Love and pity unto thee? |
A47509 | Shall I who have through sore Afflictions past For love of thee, refuse thee now at last? |
A47509 | Shall Love and Patience be so ill rewarded By thee, by whom he should be most regarded? |

A47509 | So rich a Jewel lost? |
A47509 | Soul, is''t thee? |
A47509 | Soul, now thou must be anathematiz''d; And when Christ comes, how wilt thou be surpriz''d? |

A47509 | This Stone, poor Soul, he offers unto thee, What sayst thou to''t, canst thou no beauty see, No worth in that which God accounts so rare? |
A47509 | Those Mysteries unvail, which Angels do With dread Amaze desire to look into? |
A47509 | Thou shew''st how blind, and how deceiv''d thou art? |
A47509 | Thou wilt repent it to Eternitie, That thou didst ever such a Bargain make: What? |
A47509 | Thou''st put thy case to Conscience heresofore ▪ And what redress pray had you, what didst gain? |
A47509 | To come so many Millions of long miles To be involv''d in Troubles and sad Broils? |
A47509 | To leave a Paradise of all Delight, And come into a Land as black as night? |
A47509 | To leave a sweet and quiet Habitation, To come into a rude distracted Nation? |

A47509 | Was it because there first began our woe? |
A47509 | Was it in Pomp and outward Splendor bright? |

A44342 | By whom were you called, humbled, justified, adopted, sanctified? |
A44342 | Can a man do so necessary a duty too soon? |
A44342 | Can it be? |
A44342 | Can the Black- more change his skin, and the Leopard his spots? |
A44342 | Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the Leopard his spots? |
A44342 | Can the spirit of a man pry into every corner of his Conscience, and know his own condition? |
A44342 | Can there any example be alledged that wil evidence it? |
A44342 | Can two walk together except they be agreed? |
A44342 | Canst thou? |
A44342 | Caust thou for 〈 ◊ 〉 present that to the Lord which thou thy self 〈 ◊ 〉? |
A44342 | Comfort? |
A44342 | Consider of this and think with thy self, Will the Lord of Heaven come down? |
A44342 | Dare any affirm but that he did what he ought? |
A44342 | Did I say, it was possible? |
A44342 | Did ever People partake of such Good as 〈 ◊ 〉 Purchased for you? |
A44342 | Did ever any provoke the Lord and prosper? |
A44342 | Did he 〈 ◊ 〉 every corner of your Consciences? |
A44342 | Did the word over- power thy heart? |
A44342 | Do I make Restitution? |
A44342 | Do I out of horror of heart, vomit out my sins by confession? |
A44342 | Do I sue to God for a blessing? |
A44342 | Do I wander up and down racked in a restless condition? |
A44342 | Do not you know this( saith Conscience) have not I often told you of this? |
A44342 | Dost thou walk in the common road according to the course of the world? |
A44342 | Doth he not deserve to be punished, not only for his not payment, but for his prodigality which brought that upon him? |
A44342 | Doth the Lord then usually accept of the Soul, and do good to it while he provides and continues the means of Grace? |
A44342 | Doth the Son set us free? |
A44342 | Doth the spirit seal us? |
A44342 | Ephraim shall say, what have I to do any more with Idols? |
A44342 | Every one that hath this hope purifieth himself as Christ 〈 ◊ 〉 pure: Why? |
A44342 | First then, Why the Father is said to Draw? |
A44342 | First, What is meant by Evidence? |
A44342 | For how justly may God deny to entertain him, who would not so many years give way and entertainment to his Word and Spirit? |
A44342 | For what availes it the hungry to hear of fat 〈 ◊ 〉 choice wines, and rare 〈 ◊ 〉, and not to know 〈 ◊ 〉 come at them? |
A44342 | Friend, how camest thou in hither, not 〈 ◊ 〉 thy Wedding Garment? |
A44342 | Go thou hard- hearted sinner to the red Sea, and hear there Pharaoh belching out his blasphemy against the Lord, Who is Jehovah? |
A44342 | God hath said, Wo to the wicked, it shall go ill with him; who can say the contrary, and who can expect but he wil accomplish what he hath said? |
A44342 | God that justifies, Who shall condemn? |
A44342 | Hast thou begged it, and yet findest not thy desires answered? |
A44342 | Hast thou no time to repent, and to break thy heart for sin? |
A44342 | Hast thou then the same corrupt Nature? |
A44342 | Hath Christ purchased al spiritual good for His, for Beleevers? |
A44342 | Hath God said ye shall not eat? |
A44342 | Hath God, doth God deal so with poor Creatures as to draw them from their sins to 〈 ◊ 〉 Christ? |
A44342 | Hath the Lord such need of Services that he must entertain in the worst? |
A44342 | Have ye any reason to desire, or endeavor your own destruction, against your own reason, your own good, my will, why wil you die? |
A44342 | Have you laid down the purchase? |
A44342 | He came trembling and astonished, saying, what must I do to be saved? |
A44342 | He 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? |
A44342 | He hath learned thee his Trade of Lying, miss- led thee into the like perverse, contentious courses, How shalt thou escape the damnation of Hell? |
A44342 | He that died for you and now laboreth to do good to your Souls, Will not this move you to prepare your hearts for him and let him in? |
A44342 | He that plantd the ear shal not he hear; he that formed the eye shal not he see? |
A44342 | He that sought me, and drew me, when I forsook him, wil he not embrace and entertain a poor Creature when I seek and sue for acceptance from him? |
A44342 | Heart, what sayest thou? |
A44342 | Here grows the Question: Why doth Peter receive Christ, and Judas reject him? |
A44342 | Here is the Word, and here is the Ordinance, but where is the Lord God of this Word? |
A44342 | His Friends pitty him, weep over him, and endeavor to 〈 ◊ 〉 him, Why, you are in your bed, and amongst your dear Friends, Whither wil you go? |
A44342 | Hope, Desire, and All that is within me, set open, give way, for the Lord is coming; But who is the Lord? |
A44342 | How camest thou to be made possessor of it? |
A44342 | How can they preach, except they be sent?) |
A44342 | How can ye beleeve which receive honor one of another, but seek not the honor that comes from God only? |
A44342 | How can yee believe who seek honour from man? |
A44342 | How comes it? |
A44342 | How derogatory to 〈 ◊ 〉 Wisdom to purpose that he can never accomplish? |
A44342 | How doth Contrition bring in this Confession, and enlarge the Heart this way? |
A44342 | How doth the building go forward? |
A44342 | How long will you hault between two 〈 ◊ 〉? |
A44342 | How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me, alone til 〈 ◊ 〉 swallow down my spittle? |
A44342 | How much more when he saith, wash and be clean? |
A44342 | How say some among you, that there is no resurrection? |
A44342 | How shall Faith come to him by hearing, whose Ears are become deaf that he can not hear? |
A44342 | How shall God Help, unless they Endeavor? |
A44342 | How shall he search the Scriptures in which Grace and Life are to be found, who hath not an eye able to see, much less to read them? |
A44342 | How shall the soul know it 〈 ◊ 〉 thus look to much to its owne worthiness? |
A44342 | How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation? |
A44342 | How silly was it,& incongruous to common sense to provide the sweetest sounds, and choicest musick to delight a deaf man? |
A44342 | How then shall we know whether we fall short of this true sight of sin or no? |
A44342 | How unfit to receive it? |
A44342 | How weak is thine heart? |
A44342 | I answer what need any further argument than thine own words, to constrain thee to the duty now discovered? |
A44342 | I appeal to thy own Conscience, what wouldest thou think of such a party, who thus confesseth, and is as he confesseth? |
A44342 | I do not do it, I dare not do it; but Will, what sayest thou? |
A44342 | I 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? |
A44342 | I have more understanding than all my teachers; how came that about? |
A44342 | I hearkend and heard but no man repented him saying what have I done? |
A44342 | I may truly, justly suspect it may be so, and fear it will? |
A44342 | I will give to this last 〈 ◊ 〉 thee, may I not do what I will with my own? |
A44342 | I 〈 ◊ 〉 and heard, but they spak not 〈 ◊ 〉 No man sayes with himself what have I done? |
A44342 | I 〈 ◊ 〉 love them freely; therefore here''s no 〈 ◊ 〉 because none expressed? |
A44342 | If Christ died, and by his death merited 〈 ◊ 〉 for all, why then are not all saved? |
A44342 | If Christ durst not, how dares any man? |
A44342 | If Coming here, was 〈 ◊ 〉, why should he be blamed? |
A44342 | If he can not bear the one, how can he bear the other? |
A44342 | If he give you nothing, doth he 〈 ◊ 〉 you any thing? |
A44342 | If it be replyed, Doth any man know that heart? |
A44342 | If not to the Devil, how any to such as are in Dignity? |
A44342 | If the Lord do( as the times are in his own hands) what should I judg or think of my condition? |
A44342 | If 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? |
A44342 | If the multitude of thine 〈 ◊ 〉 plead against thee, if Satan be busie to discourage thine heart, and drive thee to despair, Why dost thou? |
A44342 | If they escaped not who refused Moses who spake on Earth, how shall we escape if we refuse him that speaks from Heaven? |
A44342 | If thou art so far from yielding obedience to the Gospel, as to refuse the terms of it, canst thou be excused? |
A44342 | If thou shouldest mark, O Lord, what is done a miss, who should abide it? |
A44342 | If you ask the reason why these bitter pills seem so sweet to a base heart? |
A44342 | If you be in such haste, you may go to Hell time enough: What not wait? |
A44342 | If you say, Must every one see the working of this Almighty Power in his own soul? |
A44342 | If 〈 ◊ 〉 be evil in the tongue that 〈 ◊ 〉 it, is it not worse in the heart that indites it? |
A44342 | In a word, All these Blessings are Gods Own, and may he not Do with his Own what he will? |
A44342 | In thy declining daies wilt thou do this? |
A44342 | Is Christ yours? |
A44342 | Is it come to this? |
A44342 | Is it equal that men be put upon impossibilities? |
A44342 | Is it not enough that I understand this, and thereby be enabled to follow it? |
A44342 | Is it not that Christ, whose Grace I have refused, whose Spirit I have grieved, whose Words I have cast 〈 ◊ 〉 my back? |
A44342 | Is it nothing to you, have you no regard? |
A44342 | Is it possible, is it credible, that ever mercy should be extended unto such? |
A44342 | Is it reasonable the Lord 〈 ◊ 〉 should be an 〈 ◊ 〉 to thy lusts? |
A44342 | Is it so with thee? |
A44342 | Is it so, That a plain and powerful Ministery is the means of Preparing the soul of a poor 〈 ◊ 〉 for the Lord Jesus? |
A44342 | Is it then beyond the power, and any possibility of man to attain Grace? |
A44342 | Is my heart yet humbled? |
A44342 | Is my strength the strength of stones, or is my flesh as brass, that must bear thy wrath? |
A44342 | Is not this the great errand of a mans life, the end why we came into the world to do Gods wil? |
A44342 | Is the sufficiencie of 〈 ◊ 〉 death intended and performed for the spiritual 〈 ◊ 〉 of al? |
A44342 | Is there water enough in the Sea to clense this sink of hellish rebellions in this wretched Nature? |
A44342 | Israel 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? |
A44342 | It may be here enquired for Explication of the Point: How a Ministery thus 〈 ◊ 〉 and Powerful 〈 ◊ 〉 work? |
A44342 | It''s certain it will be so, and it''s uncertain how soon it may be: What if God do? |
A44342 | Just 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? |
A44342 | Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God? |
A44342 | Lastly, How deeply injurious and dishonorable is 〈 ◊ 〉 this to our blessed Saviour? |
A44342 | Let men judg, Go offer now the 〈 ◊ 〉 and the 〈 ◊ 〉 unto thy 〈 ◊ 〉, will be accept it? |
A44342 | Let us question our own souls and say to our selves what have we done? |
A44342 | Look we at the Nature of the Work: That also wil of necessity require as much, Whether 〈 ◊ 〉 Sin, or Satan? |
A44342 | May not the Creditor according to al the Rules of Right and Reason require his Money,& in the default of payment, punish or imprison? |
A44342 | Men 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? |
A44342 | Moderation and descretion is the compas by which this man stears; it is not men and bretheren what shal we do? |
A44342 | Moral Perswasions? |
A44342 | More careless of thine own 〈 ◊ 〉 Comforts, than the Devils be to procure thy own Confusion? |
A44342 | Must God only be loser, and his Worship go to the wal? |
A44342 | Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? |
A44342 | Nay, their words seem to issue from another principle and foundation, what shal we do? |
A44342 | No better? |
A44342 | No man ever heard me say so; no man can prove that I ever said those words: It''s 〈 ◊ 〉, No, did I? |
A44342 | No man said, what have I done? |
A44342 | No, it is for our sakes it was spoken; Shal the Ox be burdened,& not the heart under pressures be relieved? |
A44342 | None 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? |
A44342 | Observe then, is it so? |
A44342 | Oh Grave where is thy Victory? |
A44342 | Oh Jerusalem wilt thou not be made clean? |
A44342 | Oh death, where is thy sting? |
A44342 | Oh 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? |
A44342 | Oh is it not pitty to cast such Dainties before Dogs, and Pearls before Swine? |
A44342 | Oh why hast thou hardened our hearts from thy fear? |
A44342 | Open 〈 ◊ 〉 and make all preparation: Did David do thus? |
A44342 | Or can you take the 〈 ◊ 〉 Comfort in the same wayes now? |
A44342 | Or if thou hast a heart to seek in thy manner, who knows whether God will accept it or no? |
A44342 | Or take it heinously, and grievously that any should keep him from drinking the Poyson that would destroy him? |
A44342 | Phylosophers of the Epicure and Stoicks they encountred Paul and said what will this babler say? |
A44342 | Prove it? |
A44342 | Reprobate Silver shall men call them, because the Lord hath rejected them: How proves he that? |
A44342 | Saints? |
A44342 | Saul, Saul why persecutest thou me? |
A44342 | Saul, Saul( saies Christ) why persecutest thou me? |
A44342 | Say thou therefore, and why not I amongst the Witches upon the place of Execution, with Malefactors? |
A44342 | Say with thy self, what sorrow have I more than Judas had? |
A44342 | Shal the Ass fallen be raised again, and the Conscience bowed and crushed under the weight of everlasting vengeance, not be comforted? |
A44342 | Shall I thus be alwayes under the hacking and hewing of the Word, and never be framed? |
A44342 | Shall it be that God will come and dwell under our roof? |
A44342 | Shall the King of Glory stand? |
A44342 | Shall the Lord knock? |
A44342 | Shall the Lord provide all 〈 ◊ 〉 for our Good, and shall we neglect both him, and them, and our own everlasting welfare? |
A44342 | Shame 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? |
A44342 | Should not his practice be a pattern to all to imitate him in like expressions? |
A44342 | Should this be done by a gracious Habit? |
A44342 | Shouldest thou help the ungodly? |
A44342 | So I say of Application, Is it from Heaven, or from your self? |
A44342 | So our Savior expressed himself to 〈 ◊ 〉, Acts, 9. Who art thou Lord? |
A44342 | So that as Reuben somtimes in another case, so the sinner in this, and I, whither shall I go? |
A44342 | So the Disciples to our Savior when he would arm them against his departure, Will ye also go away? |
A44342 | So the Lord may say, Have I any need of dead men that you have brought these aged 〈 ◊ 〉 ruinous carkasses before me? |
A44342 | So 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? |
A44342 | So when this question shal be put to thee, Why art thou lazy in thy place? |
A44342 | So when 〈 ◊ 〉 consider all Opportunities, and Means, and Mercies, say, Is this a time, to follow the World, and the Profits thereof? |
A44342 | So, 〈 ◊ 〉 the demand be, Shall this gray headed sinner 〈 ◊ 〉 come to Grace? |
A44342 | Sow 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? |
A44342 | Take possession then into your hand: Have you tendered the payment? |
A44342 | That Vertue and Power may come from Jesus Christ 〈 ◊ 〉 work upon this Soul 〈 ◊ 〉 mine: But how shal I know that? |
A44342 | That is more profitable, but how may this or that inconvenience be prevented? |
A44342 | That the Writings of men should be sound, their Speeches acceptable, is granted; but when are they? |
A44342 | That which the jalour in the like case did openly mention, and these also did intend, Sirs what shal I do to be saved? |
A44342 | That which they have done, and desired for their own ruine, is it not just but they should have it? |
A44342 | The People they came and asked, the Publicans they enquired, the rude Soldiers they also began to demand, Master, what shal we do? |
A44342 | The 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? |
A44342 | The Question might be, How comes that about? |
A44342 | The Redeemer shall come out of Zion who are those? |
A44342 | The greatest labor should have been undertaken to preserve thy life, what carelessness is this to neglect the least that may procure thy safety? |
A44342 | The spirit of a man will 〈 ◊ 〉 his infirmity, but a wounded spirit, who can bear? |
A44342 | The thing was strange, but what it was he could not tel, and therefore he makes yet further enquiry, Who art thou Lord? |
A44342 | The time of our living is one of Gods whiles, the time of finding Grace and Mercy, if ever we come to share therein? |
A44342 | The words of this book shall not depart away from thee; how 〈 ◊ 〉 we prevent that? |
A44342 | The 〈 ◊ 〉 of Jacobs Ladder is here on Earth, though the top of 〈 ◊ 〉 unto Heaven? |
A44342 | The 〈 ◊ 〉 of Joseph when their cruel dealing came but into their remembrance how did it cut their hearts? |
A44342 | Their detestation and sequestration appears in the last words, Men and Brethren, what shall we do? |
A44342 | Then came the Publicans, anon the Souldiers saying 〈 ◊ 〉 shal W E do? |
A44342 | Then he answers, Who art thou Lord? |
A44342 | Then the Soul bethinks it self, shal al these abominations be clensed? |
A44342 | There Solomon saith, Will the Lord indeed dwell on earth? |
A44342 | There shines a suddain Light about Paul, and a voyce heard from heaven, Saul, Saul, Why persecutest thou me? |
A44342 | There shone a great light from Heaven about him, and he heard a voyce, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? |
A44342 | Therefore David makes that Cohaerence, as though the one would undoubtedly bring in the other: I hate vain thoughts; how did he attain that? |
A44342 | Therefore they do so 〈 ◊ 〉 complain in the Text, Men and Brethren, what shall we do? |
A44342 | They answer, Lord, whither should we go? |
A44342 | They make it a matter superfluous, and needless trouble thus to be taken up; what needs all this ado? |
A44342 | They might have answered, We do what we list: Yes, for the while; but what wil be the end? |
A44342 | They said to Peter, and the rest of the Apostles, men and brethren, what shall we do? |
A44342 | They say, if a man put away his wife, shall she return again? |
A44342 | They speak as men at their wits end what shal we do? |
A44342 | They were Enemies, and where lay that enmity? |
A44342 | They were quiet and secure and had no business with any man: Is it so with thee? |
A44342 | This I speak the rather to crush that vain Cavil of captious Spirits; Why did not the Minister mean me, intend me? |
A44342 | This evil is from the Lord, why should I wait any longer? |
A44342 | This is taken 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 in the Text, How shall God 〈 ◊ 〉, unless they Call? |
A44342 | This is the guise of every graceless heart in the commission of sin; so Pharaoh who is the Lord? |
A44342 | This seems good, but how may that be avoided? |
A44342 | This will put it beyond peradventure, hath some bosom lust got the will of thy soul, and holds it to this day? |
A44342 | Thou a master of a family and 〈 ◊ 〉 not, 〈 ◊ 〉 not those that are under thee? |
A44342 | Thou sayest, Is it not a little one, and my soul shall live? |
A44342 | Though Christ 〈 ◊ 〉 done many miracles, yet they beleeved not; Why did they not beleeve? |
A44342 | Thus our Savior to his Disciples dismayed with the difficulty of the work, Lord say they, who then can be saved? |
A44342 | Thus saith the Lord unto this people, If it be marvelous in your eyes, should it be marvelous in my eyes? |
A44342 | Thus the sinner is made to look about him, where am I? |
A44342 | To fear man more than God, to preser thine own ease more than his Honor, canst thou be excusable? |
A44342 | To what purpose is it to strive 〈 ◊ 〉 we can not overcome? |
A44342 | Turn ye, turn ye from your evil wayes, why will you die? |
A44342 | Turn ye, turn ye, why will ye die Oh ye house of Israel? |
A44342 | VVhen is this Confession serious and hearty? |
A44342 | VVhy are mine eyes enlightned to know the things belonging to my peace? |
A44342 | VVhy my heart touched with any saving remorse for my Sins? |
A44342 | Vengeance be? |
A44342 | Was there any 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 fitness now in the Spirit of Said to 〈 ◊ 〉 and 〈 ◊ 〉 the 〈 ◊ 〉 of truth? |
A44342 | Was there ever any sick man that was not content to be healed, and any in prison and pressures that was not willing to be delivered? |
A44342 | We are sinners say they, and good now, are not all so? |
A44342 | We have our failings, we are not alone, we have many fellows, who lives without them? |
A44342 | What Captain will entertain a Soldier that is not able to fight? |
A44342 | What Master will hire a Servant that is not able to work in his Vineyard? |
A44342 | What avails me to be at Jerusalem, and in my House, to come from Geshur, if I may not see the Kings face? |
A44342 | What communion is there between Light and Darkness, Righteousness and Unrighteousness, Christ and Belial? |
A44342 | What if God should pluck me out of the Land of the Living? |
A44342 | What if God will not? |
A44342 | What if God will? |
A44342 | What if he will 〈 ◊ 〉 ver 〈 ◊ 〉 our hearts, never pacifie our Conscience pardon our sins, save our Souls? |
A44342 | What if 〈 ◊ 〉 will not? |
A44342 | What is the opening of the eyes distinct from that which follows? |
A44342 | What is the reason that one sinks under the sin that another never feels? |
A44342 | What is the 〈 ◊ 〉? |
A44342 | What need we more evidence? |
A44342 | What shal we do? |
A44342 | What shall a man profit to win the world, and lose his soul? |
A44342 | What shall we say of them that murdered our Savior? |
A44342 | What wil al Moral Perswasions, and Congruity of Means do here? |
A44342 | What wil be the Judgments which your sins deserve, who can conceive? |
A44342 | What will it profit a man, if he should win the whol world, and lose his own soul, 〈 ◊ 〉 what shall he give in exchange for his soul? |
A44342 | What 〈 ◊ 〉 I need of mad men, that you have brought this man to me, shall he enter into my house? |
A44342 | What 〈 ◊ 〉 he will never pardon your sins or shew mercy to your soul? |
A44342 | What 〈 ◊ 〉 we do? |
A44342 | What? |
A44342 | Whatsoever a man can inflict upon a poor wretch may be born, but when the Almighty comes in battel array against a poor soul how can he undergo it? |
A44342 | When Ahab met Elijah, he salutes him on this manner, Hast thou found me, O mine Enemy? |
A44342 | When I was under the power of Satan, he then rescued me; being now rescued from his rage, and beyond his power shal he not preserve me? |
A44342 | When the Apostle had disputed concerning the freeness of grace he asks this question why was the Law added? |
A44342 | When the Question was made to the Priest; If one that is unclean by a dead Body touch any of the holy things, shall it be unclean? |
A44342 | When the 〈 ◊ 〉 is good, and 〈 ◊ 〉 Mill tight, why goes it not? |
A44342 | When they heard this, they were pricked to the heart, and said to Peter, and the rest of the Apostles, Men and Brethren, what shall we do? |
A44342 | When thou art at the weakest, here is supply: As he said, Why stand you gazing, fainting, and famishing? |
A44342 | When you are gone home, do you so reason with your selves, and ask your own hearts how the work of the Lord goes forward in you? |
A44342 | When 〈 ◊ 〉 Lord had shewed him a field full of dead bones 〈 ◊ 〉 dry, he asked him, Son of man, shall these dead bone live? |
A44342 | Where are your hearts in the mean time? |
A44342 | Where is now your wit that thought to 〈 ◊ 〉, your power that thought you were able to 〈 ◊ 〉 up your 〈 ◊ 〉? |
A44342 | Wherefore hast thou despised the command of the Lord? |
A44342 | Who knows but God will? |
