A53731 | Will he always call upon God? |
A53731 | Will you blame a Man that hath a Right to an Estate if he do not recover it, when he hath no means so to do? |

A53731 | this Tyrant, this Enemy, is too hard for us ▪ what aid and assistance against it will it afford unto us? |
A33462 | All Protestants who are ignorant of the Greek and Latine Tongues are Infidels: and why? |
A33462 | And is not this a sinne, and a very great one too, to make God a liar? |
A33462 | And what if there be scapes in some Copies, yet other Copies runne clear? |
A33462 | And why forsooth? |
A33462 | And why? |
A33462 | Be they taken away? |
A33462 | But how then is the spirit stronger then the flesh, and the infused habit of grace may be said to have a ruling hand over our will? |
A33462 | But is not this to fall upon private revelations? |
A33462 | But what is this to translations? |
A33462 | Did Daniel sin, when he urged Nebuchadnezzar to break off his sins by repentance? |
A33462 | For if an Ambassadour deliver his minde by an Interpreter, are not the words of the Interpreter the words of the Ambassadour? |
A33462 | He grants Translations are of good use, but not in the worship of God: and if of good use elsewhere, why not there? |
A33462 | Here''s the price put into* the hand, where''s the heart to use it? |
A33462 | How can a regenerate man sin, since grace is predominant, and the infused Theological habits of faith, hope, and charity are stronger then their sins? |
A33462 | If the Apostles do,( as hey ● o) justifie the ● se of it, do not they with the same breath justifie the making of it? |
A33462 | Now, what shall a poore unlearned Christian do, if that he hath nothing to rest his poore soul on? |
A33462 | On what then? |
A33462 | Our Religion is made a scorne by it, to those that be but for the pot and pipe? |
A33462 | Our enquiry is, What written word? |
A33462 | So Paul,( are built upon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets) meaning the foundation which the Apostles and Prophets laid: Laid where? |
A33462 | So againe, the Thessalonians, being Grecians, did not understand the Hebrew, yet they were commanded to prove all things: By what? |
A33462 | So the old Church after Malachi, what was left to the most but the Greek Translation? |
A33462 | Was it not lawful for the Jews in captivity to labour the conversion of the Gentiles? |

A61603 | And can men then say the command is impossible when he hath promised an assistance sutable to the nature of the duty& the infirmities of men? |
A61603 | And what then is wanting, but only setting our selves to the serious obedience of them, to make his commands not only not impossible, but easie to us? |
A61603 | And wherewithall then wilt thou be able to dispute with God? |
A61603 | Are the flames of another world such painted fires, that they deserve only to be laughed at, and not seriously considered by us? |
A61603 | But is the Chair of Scorners at last proved the only chair of Infallibility? |
A61603 | But what is it which the person who despises Religion, and laughs at every thing that is serious, proposes to himself as the reason of what he does? |
A61603 | But who art thou O man, that thus findest fault with thy Maker? |
A61603 | Did ever any yet, though never so wicked and profane themselvs, seriously commend another person for his rudeness and debaucheries? |
A61603 | Do they think that we are all become such fools to take scoffs for arguments, and raillery for demonstrations? |
A61603 | For what is it that God requires of men as the condition of their future happiness which in its own nature is judged impossible? |
A61603 | Hast thou no other plea for thy self, but that thy sins were fatal? |
A61603 | Is it for men to live soberly, righteously and godly in this world? |
A61603 | Is it to be charitable to the poor, compassionate to those in misery? |
A61603 | Is it to be patient under suffering, moderate in our desires, circumspect in our actions, contented in all conditions? |
A61603 | Is it to do as we would be done by? |
A61603 | Is wit grown so schismatical& sacrilegious, that it can please it self with nothing but holy ground? |
A61603 | Must those be the standard of mankind, who seem to have little left of humane nature, but laughter and the shape of men? |
A61603 | Or is it as fatall for man to believe himself free when he is not so, as it is for him to act when his choice is determined? |
A61603 | Or is it only the freedome of action, and not of choice, that men have an experience of within themselves? |
A61603 | Shall not the apprehension of his excellency make thee now afraid of him? |
A61603 | Was any mans lust or intemperance ever reckoned among the Titles of his honour? |
A61603 | Where was it ever known, that sobriety and temperance, justice and charity were thought the marks of reproach and infamy? |
A61603 | Who ever suffered in their reputation by being thought to be really good? |
A61603 | Who ever yet raised Trophies to his vices, or thought to perpetuate his memory by the glory of them? |
A61603 | Will not the proposal of so excellent a reward, make us swallow some more than ordinary hardships that we might enjoy it? |
A61603 | Wilt thou then charge his Providence with folly, and his Laws with unreasonableness? |
A61603 | art thou only free to ruine and destroy thy self? |

A09981 | But here some man will be ready to say, Why can not that be without these extremities? |
A09981 | But some man will here bee ready to make a question, and askeme, what I would have him doe for the Church now? |

A09981 | If the fire be at one end of the building, shall we be safe which are at the other end? |

A09981 | See what great sinnes those were, how can you name greater? |
A09981 | Some there be that say, If all men are dead in sinne, as you say they are, then to what end is all our Preaching, and your hearing? |
A09981 | Tell me, ye that are under the Law, doe ye not desire to heare the Law? |
A09981 | The fifth question is this; What is the least degree of Humiliation that must be in one that will be saved? |
A09981 | The first question is, Wherein consists this true Humiliation? |
A09981 | The second question is, What kinde of sorrow is required in this Humiliation? |
A09981 | The sixth question is this, How shall we come to be thus humbled? |
A09981 | The third question is, How shall he know whether these sorrowes of his be true or no? |
A09981 | Try therefore whether now you doe that that others will not doe; wherein else doth the power of Religion consist? |
A09981 | Try whether you have denied your selves, and throughly mortified your dearest lust, and what soever the fl ● sh desireth? |
A09981 | We may doe much by our prayers; hee that knoweth not his strength, useth it not: Did not one Moses, one Eliah stand in the gappe? |
A09981 | We see how David doth recollect himselfe together when h ● ● soule was disquieted within him, asking himselfe why it was so? |
A09981 | What hast thou to doe with mercy, which seest not thy misery? |
A09981 | What is God but infinite? |
A09981 | When then the spirit blowes, why wilt thou be so foolish as to deferre thy repentance unto another time? |
A09981 | Wherein note wee in the first place, That the Lord will be seene: why, what strange thing is that? |
A09981 | Who shall deliver me from this body of death? |
A09981 | Why, did hee not know that before? |
A09981 | and whether you bee sicke of sinne? |
A09981 | are they not of the same profession? |
A09981 | have they not the same spirit? |
A09981 | how came he to call for the booke of the Chronicle? |

A09981 | shall wee not then bee ready to helpe them? |
A09981 | what is his wrath but infinite? |
A09981 | which hee would not have done, if the other had not beene a fault in him; and therefore why doe wee so cast downe our soules? |

A09364 | And Christ saith to Saul persecuting his Church, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? |
A09364 | And because it might be said, God indeede knowes who shall be saued, but what is that to vs? |
A09364 | And first of all, if it be asked what Melancholie is? |
A09364 | And first, let him aske whether he beleeue and repent? |
A09364 | And to this purpose is the saying of the Prophet Amos, Shall there be euill in the citie, and the Lord hath not done it? |
A09364 | And to this purpose the Prophet Dauid saith, I held my peace and said nothing: why? |
A09364 | And touching this affliction, it is demanded, How any seruant of God, may be able to indure with comfort, the pangs of death? |
A09364 | And what benefit had he by taking such a course? |
A09364 | And what is that? |
A09364 | But how will some say, can God accept a worke of ours that is imperfect? |
A09364 | But howe is that? |
A09364 | But howe may a man be assured of Gods speciall loue and fauour? |
A09364 | But it may be asked, vpon what signes may this comfort be applyed? |
A09364 | But some may demand, how any man can be saued, seeing euery man is ignorant of many things which he ought to know? |
A09364 | First, how may we in this life haue and nourish in our hearts, a true tast of eternall happinesse, and of the ioyes of the world to come? |
A09364 | For howe can he that loueth not his brother, whome he hath seene, loue God whome he hath not seene? |
A09364 | For vsually, it is long before comfort can be receiued; and why? |
A09364 | For when he was dying, and the pangs of death seazed vpon him, he cries vnto the Lord, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
A09364 | For who can tell how of the offendeth? |
A09364 | Ground is: To consider, what makes a man professing Christ, accepted of God, and howe much he himselfe must doe, for this ende? |
A09364 | Here a question may be mooued, Howe long he that ministreth comfort, must stand vpon the possibilitie of pardon? |
A09364 | How a man beeing in Distresse of mind ●, may be comforted& releeued? |
A09364 | How a man may be in conscience assured of his owne saluation? |
A09364 | How can he reape vnto himselfe frō thence any assurance of reconciliation to God, whome he formerly offended? |
A09364 | How is that? |
A09364 | I answer: to the Law, but howe? |
A09364 | If here it be asked, how this pardon and forgiuenes may be known? |
A09364 | If it be asked, what mē are to doe in this case? |
A09364 | If it be demanded, what is the occasion of this kinde of temptation? |
A09364 | If it be demaunded, howe a man may be assured that he loueth God? |
A09364 | In the first verse whereof, this question is propounded, namely, VVho of all the mēbers of the Church, shall haue his habitation in heauen? |
A09364 | In the next place, Inquirie must be made, whether the partie doth approoue, loue,& like these and such like thoughts, or no? |
A09364 | It may be saide, How shall a man discerne the thoughts that are from the Deuill, from his owne thoughts? |
A09364 | It may then be asked, how such persons may be recouered after a relapse? |
A09364 | It will be here demanded, seeing workes must be done in obedience, how, and to what part of the word we must direct our obedience? |
A09364 | Marke the wordes of Paul, Whome God hath foreknowne, them he hath predestinate, to be made like vnto the image of his sonne; and what is this image? |
A09364 | Now then I demaund, what is the very thing, for which he is named and rearmed still a sinner in the time present, the offence beeing past? |
A09364 | Now whereas it might be haply demaunded by some beleeuers, how they should come to this assurance? |
A09364 | Nowe Question is mooued, Howe this violent distresse of minde, arising from our owne sinnes, is to be cured? |
A09364 | Nowe what did Daniel in this case? |
A09364 | Nowe when Adam falls, and sinnes against God, what is his sinne? |
A09364 | Put the case againe, that the testimonie of the spirit be wanting, and our sanctification be vncertaine vnto vs, how then may we be assured? |
A09364 | Secondly, it is demanded, how a man may truly discerne, whether this ioy of the Spirit be in him, yea or no? |
A09364 | Secondly, it is demaunded: When faith beginnes to breed in the heart, and when a man beginnes to beleeue in Christ? |
A09364 | Some may say, how if God will not deliuer vs, but leaue vs in the affliction, what comfort shall we then haue? |
A09364 | THe last generall Question touching man as he is a Christian is, How a man beeing in distresse of minde, may be comforted and releiued? |
A09364 | THe next generall Question touching man as he is a Christian is, How a man may be in conscience assured, of his owne saluation? |
A09364 | The first: What a man must doe, that he may come into the fauour of God and be saued? |
A09364 | The point therefore to be handled is, What this doctrine should be? |
A09364 | The second is, what are the effects and operations of Melancholie? |
A09364 | The second thing to be considered is, what is a Sinner properly? |
A09364 | The second, Howe he may be assured in conscience of his owne saluation? |
A09364 | The sixt is the Manner how? |
A09364 | The third, Howe he may recouer himselfe, when he is distressed or fallen? |
A09364 | The young man in the Gospell sues to Christ, and askes him, What shall I doe to be saued? |
A09364 | Then he must further aske, whether he desire to beleeue and repent? |
A09364 | Thirdly, it may be demanded, whether there be any difference betweene the trouble of Cōscience and Melancholie? |
A09364 | Vpon what grounds may some say? |
A09364 | What if it fall out, that a man in humbling himselfe, can not call to minde either all, or the most of his sinnes? |
A09364 | What is Distresse of minde? |
A09364 | What man must doe that ● e may come into Gods fauour and be saued? |
A09364 | What must a man doe, that finds himselfe hard hearted, and of a dead spirit, so as he can not humble himselfe as he would? |
A09364 | What must a man doe, that he may come into Gods fauour, and be saued? |
A09364 | When Shemei cursed Dauid, he forbade his seruants, so much as to meddle with him, and why? |
A09364 | When the euill Spirit came vpon Saul, it so tempted him, that he would haue slaine him that was next vnto him: how so? |
A09364 | Whether it be necessarie in humiliation, that the heart should be smitten with a sensible sorrowe? |
A09364 | Whether the party, that is more grieued for losse of his friend, then for offence of God by his sinne, doeth or can truely humble himselfe? |
A09364 | Who can vnderstād his faults? |
A09364 | because( saith he) the Lord bade him to curse, and who then dare say vnto him, why hast thou done so? |
A09156 | All to be graciously pleased to commiserate their lamentable case, and to helpe forward this worke of pietie and pitie towards prisoners? |
A09156 | Ancient, What can you say for the King against the Prisoner at the Barre? |
A09156 | And whom hath it not deceiued? |
A09156 | But art thou not ashamed to conceit the bringing of these mens verdict to the triall? |
A09156 | But who can please all? |
A09156 | By whom wilt thou be tried? |
A09156 | Cart- load of Treasure for the building of the Temple, can I thinke him not to bee here? |
A09156 | Constable, what can you say, and those that were with you, against this prisoner at the Barre? |
A09156 | Ezekiel, what can you say? |
A09156 | Fellow, saith the Iudge, why dost thou denie thy name? |
A09156 | For who knoweth what is in a man, sauing the spirit of a man which is in him? |
A09156 | Friend, What is it that you can say touching this prisoner? |
A09156 | Good my Lord, consider of vs. Then the Iudge asketh them, what those men be, of whom they speake, and what are their names? |
A09156 | Good( my Lord) before you pronounce sentence against me, as you be a righteous Iudge, heare me, but this once more? |

A09156 | Sir Christianitie, what is it that you haue to say against this Prisoner at the barre? |
A09156 | The Corporall being at the Barre, it was demanded of him what he could say, more than had beene spoken? |
A09156 | The Table- cloth that couereth it is Vanity: for vpon Instabilitie with such vicious guests, what can there be but Vanitie? |
A09156 | Then he asketh what hee can say for himselfe, why sentence should not bee pronounced against him? |
A09156 | Then it was asked if all were come in that should giue Euidence? |
A09156 | Then saith the Iudge, Master Proofe looke vpon the prisoner, do you know him? |

A09156 | Where are, saith the Iudge, these fellowes; why were they not apprehended, and brought in hither with him? |
A09156 | Whether the afflicted did suffer by onely some violent diseases in nature, producing strange effects, like practices of Witch- craft? |
A09156 | Whether the afflicted were a counterfeit, as was one Marwood, the Boy of Bilson, and one Mary Brosier? |

A79552 | 12. what did it signifie but the going astray, and the return of the faithfull? |
A79552 | Alas, what is it to repent, if we persevere in our wickedness? |
A79552 | And alas, wilt thou dread my exhortations? |
A79552 | And how miserable a soul then is that, which thinkes pleasures, and the vain lights of this World to exceed the gain or Prophet of a dream? |
A79552 | And what are the pleasures, the delights and vanities thou puts''t into the contrary ballance to weigh against so heavy a doom? |
A79552 | And whatman who is thus sotishly his own enemy, can design any thing nobly and virtuously? |
A79552 | And where then canst thou dream of any jarre or discord may happen? |
A79552 | And why remain we then so insensibly stupid? |
A79552 | And yet how much are worldings puffed up with these transitory delights? |
A79552 | Are they our sins which hinder us? |
A79552 | As for example, suppose thy selfe in an overheated Bath; thy skin scalding, thy veines, and sinewes shrinking? |
A79552 | As thou art fallen( Theodorus) so likewise fell blessed David; he to adultery added the heynous murther of innocent Uriah: But what follow''d? |
A79552 | But what was that former grace and beauty( whilst thou wert in thy integrity) in which thou didst so infinitely excell? |
A79552 | Can no wisdome regulate the passions of a mind so troubled? |
A79552 | Can you imagine a more tormenting Hel then this? |
A79552 | Canst thou return yet? |
A79552 | Did St. Paul cast him off as a reprobate from the hopes of salvation? |
A79552 | Do not his mercifull calls summon us? |
A79552 | Doest thou not know that many have dyed in their drunkennesse, their lusts, and other sinfull delu ● sions of this age? |
A79552 | Doest thou not understand whose lost condition it is he so bewailes;''t is their? |
A79552 | Doest thou see this woman? |
A79552 | For in death there is no remembrance of thee; in the grave who shall give thee thanks? |
A79552 | For when one buildeth( saith the Scripture) and another pulleth down, what profit have they but labour? |
A79552 | HOw surpassingly great is the kindnesse, and love of God to us? |
A79552 | Have you suffer''d so many things in vain? |
A79552 | Hee that washeth himself after touching a dead body, if he touch it again, what availeth it him? |
A79552 | How did the glorious beauty of thy soul excell all the magnificence and pomp of this World? |
A79552 | How short the time of their continuance compar''d with eternity? |
A79552 | If other mens calamities be proper lessons for us; shall not all our owne instruct us? |
A79552 | In how small a time did his contrition purchase him Heaven, even before Christs followers and Apostles? |
A79552 | Is thy diseast so desperate thou darest not hope for a recovery? |
A79552 | My Son( saies the Son of Sirach) hast thou sinned? |
A79552 | Nay, they return''d from out of the fire triumphant ore the flame? |
A79552 | O Vainly deceived man? |
A79552 | Oh let us take heed of such desperate perswasions as these? |
A79552 | Shall not we then grieve for him? |
A79552 | To these adde the Prophet Malachi; Behold( saies he) the Lord Almighty cometh, but who shall abide the day of his comming? |
A79552 | WAs there ever any one so great a Monster as Nebuchadnezzar, that King of the Babylonians? |
A79552 | What can be more happy then such a life? |
A79552 | What flinty heart? |
A79552 | What follow''d this fall of his? |
A79552 | What fool would bee content for one pleasing moment to lead all the rest of his life in miserie? |
A79552 | What greater argument can there be of the benignity of an incens''d God, then when we have provok''d him to anger, to accept of our sorrow? |
A79552 | What if we were to die a thousand times in a day? |
A79552 | What is the inside of her killing glittering eyes? |
A79552 | What lies under that sweet and lovely outside of thy Hermion''s surpassing graces, or her purpled cheeks? |
A79552 | What saist thou? |
A79552 | What then were infinite millions of those Jews in the ballance with thee before thy sad fall? |
A79552 | What( alas) is the destruction of the body, but an accomplish''d course in the order of nature? |
A79552 | Whatsoever was the cause of his fall? |
A79552 | When we have the most incens''d him, then ought we most carefully to look to our selves? |
A79552 | Where are some now, who lately trac''d the streets in pride, who fed their parasites with dainties? |
A79552 | Where consum''d it? |
A79552 | Where is this beauty banisht? |
A79552 | Who ever propounded to himself( if hee were wise) to labour in vain? |
A79552 | Who will give water to my head? |
A79552 | Why then is the People of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetuall back- sliding? |
A79552 | Would any man that sowes fling away his seed but in expectation to receive the fruit there of? |
A79552 | and all the reputed happinesse of this life are no better? |
A79552 | and cloath''d themselves with the finest silkes? |
A79552 | and to my eyes a Fountain of tears? |
A79552 | and who shall stand when he appeareth? |
A79552 | and with such Majesty as Kings out of their stately Palaces, march''d they out of the Furnace? |
A79552 | canst thou repent after this thy strange fall? |
A79552 | did he lie under the burthen of his iniquities? |
A79552 | did not he attempt to rise again, but overcome by Satan lay prostrate to his fury? |
A79552 | did the Shepherd neglect the wanderer? |
A79552 | he couragiously resumes his arms against his enemy? |
A79552 | how shall wee avoid them? |
A79552 | most foolishly and sottishly deluded sinner? |
A79552 | or forfeit an inestimable weight of glory for a dream? |
A79552 | shall he turn away, and not return? |
A79552 | shall we cease our lamentations till he return to himselfe again? |
A79552 | they that presum''d the walkes they went in? |
A79552 | thou opinator of thy owne wisdome and happinesse? |
A79552 | to endure the torments of Hell it selfe for a season? |
A79552 | what is become of all this pomp and pride, is it not vanish''d, is it not past over like a dreame? |
A79552 | whither shall we flye to escape the wrath that followes them? |
A79552 | who is there so sottish, as would willfully forfeit all his peace for a minutes pleasure? |
A79552 | yet in vain? |
A09462 | 3. that there shall come false teachers, which shall teach doctrines of Diuels: and what are these? |
A09462 | Admit Satan allures me to carnal vncleanenesse; how may I preserue my selfe that I may with the wise virgins enter with the bridegrome? |
A09462 | And cried with a loud voice, and said, What haue I to do with thee, Iesus the sonne of the most high God? |
A09462 | And they sung as it were a new song before the throne: and they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long Lord, holy and true? |
A09462 | Behold] This word is a word of wonder, and it sheweth there is some matter of moment that followeth: and what is that? |
A09462 | But because we do not, therefore at euery assault of the Assyrians, we say, as the seruant to k Elishah did: Alas maister, what shall we do? |
A09462 | But do we so? |
A09462 | But how could Christ be tempted, seeing he was most holy, euen as he was man? |
A09462 | But how could the Diuel cary our Sauiour Christ to this high mountaine? |
A09462 | But how did the diuell carie our Sauiour Christ from the wildernesse to Ierusalem? |
A09462 | But how shall I know whether this testimonie come from Gods spirit, or from carnall presumption? |
A09462 | But some may say: What, is it not lawfull thē to demaund and require a signe at Gods hands? |
A09462 | Could he ouercome the world, and can he not ouercome many troubles in the world? |
A09462 | Doth God tempt vs? |
A09462 | Hath God said indeed ye shall die? |
A09462 | How is this resistance confirmed? |
A09462 | How many art mine iniquities and sinnes? |
A09462 | How many parts hath this armor? |
A09462 | How may I fall in this temptations? |
A09462 | How may I prepare my self vnto it? |
A09462 | How may I preserue patience? |
A09462 | How may I resist this assault? |
A09462 | How may I resist this temptation? |
A09462 | How may I withstand these? |
A09462 | How may one be thus assaulted? |
A09462 | How must this crosse be taken vp? |
A09462 | How will he allure to sinne? |
A09462 | If I fall, how may I rise? |
A09462 | If he had power in the head, why not in the mēbers? |
A09462 | If thou be the Sonne of God] What moued the Diuell to moue this question vnto Christ rather then any other? |
A09462 | If thou streightly markest iniquities, O Lord who shall stand? |
A09462 | In a word, is he vpon earth? |
A09462 | Iobs l messengers came not so fast on him: but Iobs afflictions may come as fast vpō vs. Hath Dauid slaine m a Bere? |
A09462 | Is Christ tempted? |
A09462 | Is he on the crosse? |
A09462 | Is his 〈 ◊ 〉 cleane gone for euer? |
A09462 | Let me speake yet vnto you concerning calamities: I reade in the Scriptures of the patient bearing of the crosse; what wil it teach me? |
A09462 | Lidia What then must be my remedy? |
A09462 | Lidia Which be the parts thereof? |
A09462 | My God, my God; why hast thou forsaken me, and art so farre from my health, and from the words of my roaring? |
A09462 | Now if we abuse the good creatures of God, in sur ● etting and excesse, how can we looke that the Lord should blesse them vnto vs? |
A09462 | Now say they, we kneele and bow to earthly Princes, and do reuerence to the chaire of Estate: why then may we not to Saints? |
A09462 | Or when a man hath the ordinarie way to come downe by the steppes or staires, and refusing that shold cast himselfe downe from the top of a steeple? |
A09462 | Paul Are they so? |
A09462 | Say I be angrie vnaduisedly, or desire to reuenge wrongs done vnto me, how may I remedie this my sinne? |
A09462 | Say I sinne by couetousnesse and ambition: what must I do? |
A09462 | Saying, I haue sinned, betraying the innocent bloud: but they said, What is that to vs? |
A09462 | The God of power preserue me from this assault by these preseruatiues: but how may I fall in this temptation? |
A09462 | VVhat is his resistance? |
A09462 | VVhat( I pray you) is the crosse? |
A09462 | VVhich is the first? |
A09462 | What certaine preseruatiues are to be noted in this resistance? |
A09462 | What doth Satan when one is thus ● ● llen? |
A09462 | What helpes doth the Diuell abuse, for the strengthening of such illusions as these? |
A09462 | What is it which we call Christi ● ● warfare? |
A09462 | What is my falling in this assault? |
A09462 | What is my remedie? |
A09462 | What is the conflict of these warriors? |
A09462 | What is the second assault? |
A09462 | What is this temptation? |
A09462 | What is to be gathered hence? |
A09462 | What must I note in this Christian souldier? |
A09462 | What remedie is there if that I fall? |
A09462 | What then is the combat? |
A09462 | What? |
A09462 | Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and takest me for thine enemie? |
A09462 | Whē Dauid heard the Gentiles say, where is now their God? |
A09462 | Which( I pray you) be they? |
A09462 | Who are the warriors? |
A09462 | Whom call you the tempter? |
A09462 | Will in Lord absent himselfe for euer, and will he shew no more fauour? |
A09462 | Will thou breake a leafe driuen to and fro, and wilt thou pursue the drie stubble? |
A09462 | a In thee haue I trusted, saith a king: b who euer was confounded that trusted in the Lord, said a friend? |
A09462 | and with the disciples: l Carest thou not maister that we perish? |
A09462 | are we warie of these tempters? |
A09462 | doest not thou iudge and auenge our bloud on them that dwel on the earth? |
A09462 | doth his promise faile for euermore? |
A09462 | he is tempted in his m person; is he in heauen? |
A09462 | he must make a r ● ad vpon the Philistims: are the Philistims conquered? |
A09462 | he shall encounter with a Lion: hath he killed a Lion? |
A09462 | n he must fight with Goliah: hath he subdued Goliah? |
A09462 | take heed of apostacie: doth the flesh tempt man? |
A09462 | take heed of dissembling: doth man tempt God? |
A09462 | take heed of his subtiltie: doth man tempt man? |
A09462 | take heed of hypocrisie: doth Satan tempt vs? |
A09462 | take heed of inquiring: doth the world tempt man? |
A09462 | the k people will not pitie him: is he risen? |
A09462 | was this any vertue in the Diuel to obey Christs commandement? |
A19297 | And alas, how doe we seeke for mercy in this case, but for feare of vengance? |
A19297 | And can we looke for a better haruest of such fearfull seedings? |
A19297 | And haue we no leasure for religion, our thrift comes in so fast, al time is too little, either to husband wel that we haue, or to better our estate? |
A19297 | And how shall the faults of Ministers bee corrected but by the supreame Magistrate? |
A19297 | And indeed how can it be, that Satan should performe with them? |
A19297 | And is it any other in our Honourable Court of the High Commission, and in other Consistories of our Clergie? |
A19297 | And is not now bodily seruice made an Idoll, and will worship set in the seate of the scorners? |
A19297 | And is not this now Satans time to make prey of the soule? |
A19297 | And is there any feare of God, where prophanesse is iustified,& that by abusing and peruerting the straight waies of God? |
A19297 | And seeing Mammon serues our present turne, what more profit shall we haue in the seruice of God? |
A19297 | And shal not he much more increase thy oile in the cruse, the meale in the barrell? |
A19297 | And what need wee desire the wine and the corne, when our God is at peace with vs? |
A19297 | And what neede he then take care for any other happines? |
A19297 | And when we haue the most thereof at the best, will it not prooue too heauie a reckoning without the blessing of God? |
A19297 | Are we sick of the world, and neuer satisfied therewith? |
A19297 | As, the Minister may be also a Magistate? |
A19297 | Behold the bargaine, and tremble at it; blesse thy God that thou hast not beene ouerraught? |
A19297 | But behold now, the Driuing of the Bargaine; what is it, that encourageth and enableth Sathan to preuaile for our destruction? |
A19297 | But now on the other side, doth hee performe with them? |
A19297 | Can there be a greater plague to the wicked then still to be desiring, what they compasse? |
A19297 | Consider we a little, how they vse these things: are they not vsually in extreames and so bode extremity? |
A19297 | Doe they not in distrust of Gods prouidence, vsually make Idols of these things, and so are giuen vp to make Idols of themselues? |
A19297 | Doth Cain build Cities,& seeke to nestle himselfe surely on the earth, to auoid the storme of heauen? |
A19297 | Doth Iudas sell his Maister for the wages of vnrighteousnesse, and doth he not set his soule to sale to the deuill? |
A19297 | Doth not affliction bridle sinne, and withdraw many encouragments there- from? |
A19297 | For What shall it profit a man though he should win the whole world, and lose his owne soule? |
A19297 | Haue we begun in the spirit, and haue quickly enough thereof? |
A19297 | How can this choose but breed despaire, and fearefull confusion? |
A19297 | How can we expect Grapes of thornes, or Figges of thistles? |
A19297 | How commonly do men prostitute their soules for the loue of the world? |
A19297 | How could wee enuie and fret at the prosperity of others? |
A19297 | How doth this discouer our barrennes of grace, how doth it conuince our bondage vnto sinne? |
A19297 | How fearefully heereby doe they enthrall themselues to destruction? |
A19297 | How necessarie is that knowledge, which may enforme vs rightly herein? |
A19297 | If Balaam for promotion, will bring God to his wicked bent: doth he not loue the wages of iniquitie, and expose his soule to the rage of Sathan? |
A19297 | If Saul to cloake his sinne, will be hindered of the people, shall he not be reiected of God, and hasten his own confusion? |
A19297 | If happinesse consist in enioying the world, then what need we feare to venture the soule; vnlesse we enuie our owne happinesse? |
A19297 | If we could be humbled dayly in the sence of our vnworthynesse, how should we be thankfull for the least? |
A19297 | If we could daily renewe our repentance, how should we preuent, or reiect Satans assaults? |
A19297 | Is it no profit to aduenture thy soule for the world? |
A19297 | Is it not at the least as Sauls Armour, too heauy a burthen for vs? |
A19297 | Is it not now a ruled Case among Worldlings, that there is no hell but to be in debt? |
A19297 | Is it with purpose to be ridde of our sinnes, or rather for hope we may returne to our vomit againe? |
A19297 | Is not euery Trade a Mysterie forsooth? |
A19297 | Is not he our sufficient portion, and shall we not with him haue all things else? |
A19297 | Is the price too deare? |
A19297 | Is thine eye euill because his is good? |
A19297 | Nay, is not the present Euent vsually a warrant herein? |
A19297 | One Trades- man may exercise diuers ciuill Callings? |
A19297 | Shall we for our better informing take a view of some of them? |
A19297 | Shall wee discouer the delusions which preuaile hereunto? |
A19297 | Such are the grounds to compasse these things, and are not the meanes suteable? |
A19297 | This serues the turne for the present, and what neede we any more? |
A19297 | What can we see abroad which may not more humble vs vnder the hand of God? |
A19297 | What hope of preuailing, where the soule is thus armed? |
A19297 | What need he feare whatsoeuer Bug- beares of heauen or hell, that simple men are feared withall? |
A19297 | What roome could there bee for him, if the heart were so employed? |
A19297 | What should wee doe with a whole world, whereof nothing is our due, and the least may serue the turne? |
A19297 | Whether one man may haue diuers Callings? |
A19297 | Who would not enioy the most of all those things, that he may haue greatest happines? |
A19297 | Why do worldings engrosse and compasse the earth, but that they haue no hope of heauen? |
A19297 | Will Satan play thus false with thee, and cheate thee in thy Bargaine? |
A19297 | Will wee make sure of thriuing first, before wee labour for knowledge, and the feare of God? |
A19297 | and can these be but abused where credit is made the head, and conscience the tayle? |
A19297 | and can wee admit of any Iudge then ciuill honestie? |
A19297 | and is not the ground thereof, that roote of Atheisme, that they account of no God but Mammon, no heauen but worldly happinesse? |
A19297 | and is not this Mysterie abused commonly to deceiue, and be deceiued? |
A19297 | and what remaines there vnto vs but a fearefull expectation thereof? |
A19297 | can the conscience be free where profit limits religion, and ciuility is the iudge thereof? |
A19297 | doth not troubles awake the conscence, and at least breed some remorse& outward abstinence from euill? |
A19297 | hauing mouthes and yet dare not taste, hauing bellies, and yet pine themselues? |
A19297 | how maiest thou prepare thy selfe to euerlasting fulnes? |
A19297 | how ordinarily do men transgresse for morsels of bread? |
A19297 | how shall their wrongs be righted but by him? |
A19297 | how willingly is the soule made a prey for the gaining of earthly things? |
A19297 | if thou canst be faithfull a little, shalt thou not see greater things thē these? |
A19297 | it hath sorted well; and therefore it is well: what should I say? |
A19297 | must we not make the best of what we haue, seeing wee will haue no better? |
A19297 | nay, may not our precisenesse hinder our profit? |
A19297 | or rather doe we not dreame of mercy, and yet when we are awake we are an hungry? |
A19297 | that it is madnesse to thinke that there is any such couenant with Satan? |
A19297 | that plenty hath brought forth vanitie, and the daughter hath deuoured the mother? |
A19297 | where pride is a chaine, how can bondage or subiection be any whit brooked? |
A19297 | who lesse enioy that they haue, then they that haue most? |
A10024 | 2. Who shall stand when he appeares? |
A10024 | 29. now what thinke ye shall be done unto such? |
A10024 | Againe, doth the Lord send any creature to comfort thee? |
A10024 | Ahab is rich enough, and Haman hath a wife and children, and yet what comfort and joy had they in them? |
A10024 | And Christ himselfe saith, that it is more blessed to lend then to borrowe, to give then to receive, may wee not then desire them? |
A10024 | And lastly, if a pardon be granted, see, Is there a love and a delight in Christ? |
A10024 | Art thou in favour with a great man, Who promoted thee? |
A10024 | Art thou in honour, Who exalted thee? |
A10024 | Art thou poore, who can enrich thee? |
A10024 | Art thou weake, who can strengthen thee? |
A10024 | But how farre may a man desire wealth, where must hee set limits to his desires, where must they be restrained? |
A10024 | But some man will be ready to say, what needes all this? |
A10024 | But this may seeme a strange thing, a thing of impossibility to get the Spirit; for you will say, How is it in our power to get the Spirit? |
A10024 | But whether may not a man take care to get wealth, is not a man to care for his estate, to increase it, and to settle it? |
A10024 | But will not wealth and friends profit us? |
A10024 | But you will say unto me, How shall we doe to get this loathing of earthly things? |
A10024 | But you will say unto mee, How shall I know that my heart is renewed by the Spirit, and that there is a new life put into me? |
A10024 | But you will say unto mee, How shall wee attaine this worke of Mortification? |
A10024 | But you will say unto mee, May wee not use Eloquence and Science in the Preaching of the Word? |
A10024 | But you will say unto mee, What must we doe with our learning? |
A10024 | But you will say unto mee, Wherein is the regenerate man able to doe more than another man, or more then he could doe? |
A10024 | But you will say, How can the Spirit of Christ, which is the holy Ghost, dwell in the heart, seeing he is in heaven? |
A10024 | But you will say, The heart is of a great depth, and who can search it? |
A10024 | But you will say, there are divers kindes of Faith, What Faith is this then that thus purifieth the heart? |
A10024 | Come unto me all you that are weary and heavie laden, and I will ease you: Now what will hee ease them of, the guilt? |
A10024 | Every man is ashamed of indiscreetnesse in his carriage, now, what is the cause of indiscreetnesse? |
A10024 | Except the Lord speake once and twice to us, we will not regard it: Paul was troubled with a strong affection, what doth he? |
A10024 | For the first; What is meant by Members? |
A10024 | Fourthly, it makes us unfaithfull; If you have beene faithfull in a little wicked riches, how will you be faithfull in the true riches? |
A10024 | Have wee not reason to distinguish betwixt things which wee know are of a contrary nature? |
A10024 | Here may a question be asked, why men doe abstaine from murther and Idolatry? |
A10024 | Hereby then examine your selves what are the things you most delight in? |
A10024 | How can ye beleeve, seeing ye seeke honour one of another, and not the honour that commeth of God? |
A10024 | I am strong and well, in good and perfect health, is it likely the evill day is neere me? |
A10024 | If then Gods blessing be all in all, if that onely can administer comfort, and make us happy, I would aske you this question? |
A10024 | In temporall things, who knoweth what shall bee to morrow? |
A10024 | In the dayes of his flesh, who had more good by him than the Publicans and sinners? |
A10024 | Is he the only joy and comfort of thy soule? |
A10024 | It is a glorie unto God when the Professors of the Word live a holy life; for what is the nature of the Word but to cleanse? |
A10024 | It is, because their nature is to doe so; Wil you know why a sinful man is subject to affect things inordinately? |
A10024 | Know you not that the love of the world is enmitieto God? |
A10024 | Now what should move us to morifie these earthly members? |
A10024 | Reason? |
A10024 | Secondly, what is meant by earthly members? |
A10024 | Secondly, what is meant by grieving of the Spirit? |
A10024 | So that the men which were converted at Peters Sermon, did aske, What shall wee doe to be saved? |
A10024 | So, what if thy affections be changed from earthly to heavenly things, so as thou dost feele the burthen of immoderate cares cast off thee? |
A10024 | Take the deare Saints of God, and take but this Spirit from them, how would it be with them? |
A10024 | The blessing of the creature( as we call it) is of God: Doth the Lord send any creature to hurt thee? |
A10024 | The first Question is, Whether sinne may not seeme to bee mortified when it is not mortified, but onely asleepe? |
A10024 | The second motive is taken from that of Salomon, A mans spirit will beare his infirmities, but a wounded spirit, who can beare? |
A10024 | Therefore art thou weake? |
A10024 | Therefore try, is thy excessive care constant? |
A10024 | Thirdly, what is meant by quenching of the Spirit? |
A10024 | Wee now come to a third poynt, and that is, what are those things that are to bee mortified? |
A10024 | What is the reason of this? |
A10024 | What is the reason, a man takes to heart the death of his friend, or the like accident? |
A10024 | What, are they earthly things, how to bee rich or honourable? |
A10024 | When is a man covetous? |
A10024 | Whether after true mortification a man may fall into the same sinne againe or no? |
A10024 | Will not a man willingly part with drosse for gold? |
A10024 | Will you know the reason, why Beares and Wolves, and Lyons, carry themselves so cruelly? |
A10024 | Will you perswade men that honie is not sweet, who have tasted of it? |
A10024 | Wilt thou set thine eye on that which is not? |
A10024 | and if thou hast no knowledge of heaven, and heavenly things, how canst thou desire them? |
A10024 | and what is Prayer, but a praying or begging of grace, or for the preservation of grace, and power against corruptions? |
A10024 | art thou cold in holy performances? |
A10024 | endeavour to be humbler and meeker then other men; Is your nature more inclined to desire of gain? |
A10024 | it is the defect of wisedome, either the forgetfulnesse or not heeding of the time, place or action we are about; and what makes this forgetfulnes? |
A10024 | no surely, I will therefore goe on still in my sinne; what need I repentance, that am so well in all things? |
A10024 | or what must we not learne Sciences, or must we shew no learning in Preaching? |
A10024 | that is, wherefore art thou so restlesse with mee, that thou wilt have no deniall till I grant thee thy desire? |
A10024 | them he called, them he saved: the poore diseased wretches, how ready was hee to heale them? |
A10024 | when thou art going to hell, who can save thee? |
A10024 | when thou art sicke, who can heale thee? |
A10024 | who is able to know whether the heart be renewed or no, by the speeches? |
A53715 | 2. is the Case proposed that we have in hand; How shall we that are dead unto sin live any longer therein? |
A53715 | 6.68, thou must be relieved and saved this way or none; to whom wilt thou goe? |
A53715 | 8? |
A53715 | A new Sin may be permitted, as well as a new Affliction sent to bring an Old sin to remembrance? |
A53715 | And can I keep my self out of the Dust? |
A53715 | And if the Case be so sad with them who do labour and strive, and yet enter not into the Kingdom; what is their Condition who despise all this? |
A53715 | And in this case of indwelling Sin, and the power of it, what Frame doth he express himself to be in? |
A53715 | And in what state doth the Prophet Habakkuk affirm himself to be cast, upon the apprehension of the Majesty of God? |
A53715 | And our Saviour tells us what is to be done in this case; sayes he, Do men gather Grapes from Thorns? |
A53715 | And wherein did his folly appear? |
A53715 | Are the the things of the Soul of less importance? |
A53715 | Are they not still in the Gall of bitterness? |
A53715 | As to its Rise, it is built purely upon the Testimony of him whom we have not seen; as the Apostle speaks, How can ye love him whom you have not seen? |
A53715 | But how shall a man know whether there be any thing of Gods chastening hand, in his being left to the disquietment of his distemper? |
A53715 | But how? |
A53715 | But suppose a Thorn be well pruned and cut, and have pains taken with him? |
A53715 | But thou wilt say, what ground have I to build such an Expectation upon; so that I may expect not to be deceived? |
A53715 | But why had they not peace? |
A53715 | But you will say, Is not this to perswade men to unbelief? |
A53715 | But you will say, We are where we were; when God syeaks it, we must receive it; that is true, but how shall we know when he speaks? |
A53715 | C ● nst thou look without terrour into the Abyss of Eternity? |
A53715 | Can a sadder thing befall thee? |
A53715 | Can sin be killed without an interest in the Death of Christ, or Mortified without the Spirit? |
A53715 | Canst thou complain if it be no otherwise with thee than it was with Heman, that eminent servant of God? |
A53715 | Clearly, perfectly? |
A53715 | Did the sufferings and Temptations of Christ adde to his ability and power? |
A53715 | Do they find a conquest over it? |
A53715 | Doe I account Communion with him of so little value, that for this vile Lusts sake I have scarce left him any room in my Heart? |
A53715 | Doe I thus requite the Lord? |
A53715 | Does he bid them go and mortifie their pride, wrath, malice, cruelty, and the like? |
A53715 | Dost thou think he will ease thee of that which perplexeth Thee, that thou mayst be at liberty to that which no less grieves Him? |
A53715 | God forbid, how shall we that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? |
A53715 | Hadst thou been negligent in Duties? |
A53715 | Hast thou not found thy self engaged in such Wayes, Societies, Companies, and that with delight, as God abhorres? |
A53715 | Hast thou received any eminent Mercy, Protection, Deliverance, which thou diddest not improve in a due Manner, nor wast thankfull for? |
A53715 | Have I defiled the Heart that Christ dyed to wash; that the Blessed Spirit hath chosen to dwell in? |
A53715 | Have I obtained a view of Gods Fatherly Countenance, that I might behold his face, and provoke him to his face? |
A53715 | How doth he doe it? |
A53715 | How doth the Spirit mortifie Sin? |
A53715 | How immense is he in his Nature? |
A53715 | How is that? |
A53715 | How little a portion is it? |
A53715 | How often doth he complain that his bones were broken, his Soul disquieted, his wounds grievous on this account? |
A53715 | How shall I escape, if I neglect so great Salvation? |
A53715 | How shall I hold up my head with any boldness before him? |
A53715 | How shall he then mortifie Sin, that hath not the Spirit? |
A53715 | How shall we do it, who( as he afterwards describes it,) have received Grace from Christ to the contrary? |
A53715 | I will leave them, hide my Face, and what will become of their peace and strength? |
A53715 | If this be the work of the Spirit alone, how is it, that we are exhorted to it? |
A53715 | If we have not some strength to walk with him? |
A53715 | In the mean time, what shall I say to the Lord? |
A53715 | Is it not a little one? |
A53715 | Is it not from the Spirit? |
A53715 | Is it nothing that he should punish, ruine, and undoe others for thy sake? |
A53715 | Is not our understanding brutish in the Contemplation of such things? |
A53715 | Is not this to put men to make Brick, if not without straw,( which is worse,) without strength? |
A53715 | Is their Condition changed, though they attain a Relinquishment of it? |
A53715 | Is their sin at all mortified hereby? |
A53715 | Is this the Return I make to the Father for his Love, to the Son for his Blood, to the Holy Ghost for his Grace? |
A53715 | Know you not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his Death? |
A53715 | Now how is he attained? |
A53715 | Or Vncleanness to defile thy Heart, with vain, and foolish, and wicked Imaginations, for many dayes? |
A53715 | Or strength whilest he smites? |
A53715 | Ought not all our expectations to this purpose to be on Christ alone? |
A53715 | Say to thy Soul; What have I done? |
A53715 | Shall I daily grieve that Spirit whereby I am sealed to the day of Redemption? |
A53715 | Shall I endeavour to disappoint the End of the Death of Christ? |
A53715 | Shall they cease striving against sin, live dissolutely, give their Lusts their swinge, and be as bad as the worst of men? |
A53715 | Sin will grow a light thing to thee; thou wilt pass by it as a thing of nought; This it will grow to, and what will be the End of such a Condition? |
A53715 | Sin, saith he, is crucified; it is fastned to the Cross; to what End? |
A53715 | So did Joseph, How shall I doe this great evil( saith he) and sin against the Lord, my good and gracious God? |
A53715 | They have followed after Mortification, but they have not Attained to it; Wherefore? |
A53715 | They that are Christ''s have crucified the flesh, with the affections and lusts: But how? |
A53715 | Thou settest thy self with all diligence and earnestness to mortifie such a Lust or Sin; what is the Reason of it? |
A53715 | Was it not a Correction to Peters vain Confidence, that he was left to deny his Master? |
A53715 | Was my Soul washed, that room might be made for new Defilements? |
A53715 | We have in Baptisme an Evidence of our Implantation into Christ; we are baptized into him; But what of him are we baptized into an Interest in? |
A53715 | We have( I say) words and notions about these things, but as to the things themselves, what do we know? |
A53715 | What Promise hath any unregenerate man to countenance him in this work? |
A53715 | What assistance for the performance of it? |
A53715 | What can I say to the dear Lord Jesus? |
A53715 | What do we comprehend of them? |
A53715 | What do ● t thou know of God? |
A53715 | What doth Peter direct them to? |
A53715 | What good will our Lives do us, if we see not the face of God sometimes in peace? |
A53715 | What is his Name, and what is his Sons Name if thou canst tell? |
A53715 | What is to be expected from such an Heart? |
A53715 | What peace I pray is there to a Soul while God hides himself? |
A53715 | What shall we say then? |
A53715 | Whence is the power, life and vigour of Prayer? |
A53715 | Whence its Efficacy to prevail with God? |
A53715 | Whence then do we expect the Spirit? |
A53715 | Who can declare the Generation of the Son, the procession of the Spirit, or the difference of the one from the other? |
A53715 | Who hath ascended up into Heaven, or descended? |
A53715 | Who hath bound the Waters in a Garment? |
A53715 | Who hath established the Ends of the Earth? |
A53715 | Who hath gathered the Wind in his fists? |
A53715 | Who hath promised him to us, having procured him for us? |
A53715 | Who is it that hath walked up to the Knowledge that he hath had of the Perfections, Excellencies, and Will of God? |
A53715 | Who may assume it to himself? |
A53715 | Who should mortifie? |
A53715 | Whom speaks he to? |
A53715 | Why sayest thou O my soul my way is hid from the Lord and my Judgment is passed over from my God? |
A53715 | Why, because in their Address to God they flattered him: But how doth that appear? |
A53715 | Yea, but what if these are in us, and do abound, may not the other abound also? |
A53715 | You will say, What then would you have unregenerate men, that are convinced of the Evil of sin do? |
A53715 | You will say, what are these dangerous Marks and symptoms, the desperate Attendances of an indwelling Lust that you intend? |
A53715 | and cryed out what shall we doe? |
A53715 | and is not the Gospel End of their Convictions lost thereby? |
A53715 | and shall we daily grieve Him? |
A53715 | and wilt thou venture any more to the brink of Hardness? |
A53715 | but who shall have the comfort of this Assertion? |
A53715 | from whom do we look for him? |
A53715 | hadst thou lived inordinately to thy self? |
A53715 | is there the guilt of any great sin lying upon thee unrepented of? |
A53715 | is this all? |
A53715 | or hast been exercised with any Affliction, without labouring for the appointed End of it? |
A53715 | or hast thou been wanting to the Opportunities of glorifying God in thy Generation, which in his good Providence he had graciously afforded unto thee? |
A53715 | or hast thou conformed thy self unto the World and the men of it, through the abounding of Temptations in the dayes wherein thou livest? |
A53715 | shall we continue in Sin that Grace may abound? |
A53715 | what Love, what Mercy, what Blood, what Grace have I despised and trampled on? |
A53715 | what doest thou expostulate with thy self? |
A53715 | what extremity of sufferings did they put themselves upon? |
A53715 | what oft- times are they directed unto, when their Consciences are galled by Sin, and Disquietment from the Lord hath laid hold upon them? |
A53715 | what violence did they offer to Nature? |
A53715 | whence is that? |
A53715 | wilt thou yet weary him, and make him to serve with thy Corruptions? |
A05590 | A bordell Strumpet, and this Publican; To lesson us, what kinde soe''re they be, Turke, Jew, or Arab, Moore, or Mussilman? |
A05590 | A king command''d, a Philosophick man, To shew him, what was God, and what his might? |
A05590 | A noble youth, been askd, whether he went? |
A05590 | A wounded conscience, who can beare that load? |
A05590 | A ● hipwrackt man, cast on some planke to seeke, The safe set land; which got, how glad is he? |
A05590 | Above, else deep beneath, or here below, Thy presence is: Then whither shall I flee? |
A05590 | All kindes of vice, all kinde of lusts they swallow: For why? |
A05590 | And boggy baggage, of a stinking lump? |
A05590 | And if not risen? |
A05590 | And what''s our beauty? |
A05590 | And why? |
A05590 | And will not first, forgive anothers wrongs: How can thou pray, or thinke thy prayer speeds? |
A05590 | And yet vaine Man, he little thinks or dreames, Once of his death, nor what his end may be? |
A05590 | And yet what are our dayes, the longest liver? |
A05590 | As irne in fire cast, takes fires nature, And yet remaineth irne, though fram''d, what than? |
A05590 | At last Christ, in, a humane shape appear''d, Whom she mistooke, and for a Gardner deemd: Said he, Why wepst thou? |
A05590 | But Vertue claymes her place, and prostrate I Must yeelde due honour, to her noble name: Shee taught mee to take paynes, it s done, and why? |
A05590 | But what? |
A05590 | Came not kinde Mary? |
A05590 | Can thou forgivenesse crave, for thy misdeeds? |
A05590 | Christ, from the worldly wise and great, kept back These mysteries, which silly ones did see: And why? |
A05590 | Come answer me, who would be undertaker, Whether its best, to be a man or beast? |
A05590 | Convince us, for like riot, and excesse? |
A05590 | Deceive my heart, and move my minde to swell: Or with false lookes, vaine hopes to me unfold? |
A05590 | Dust shall to dust, and earth to earth returne; If I can here, true peace of conscience finde, What losse? |
A05590 | For which; vile worme, how could my lips deny? |
A05590 | God made all things, and God was made a Man, All things he made of nothing; but come see? |
A05590 | His sighs, thus sobd, for groanes, and melting eyes, Were all his words: Or what''s my kindred too? |
A05590 | How fraile was I and fragile, to succumbe? |
A05590 | How gracious then is God? |
A05590 | How long shall wicked thoughts, in me remaine? |
A05590 | How many foes hath man? |
A05590 | How precious were these tears of Magdalen? |
A05590 | How sacred were these teares? |
A05590 | How shall I answer make? |
A05590 | How vaine are frolick youths? |
A05590 | I crosse my crossing armes, on my crost breast, And musing lurks, to looke on humane state; How wretch''d it is? |
A05590 | I mean mans stinking flesh; who can expresse? |
A05590 | I might have fled, to hide me in some cave, But curious I, would swallow shame and feare: Could I sustaine his crosse, his death and grave? |
A05590 | If I were sure, that lust were not controld, Nor punishd by the gods, above which ring: Yet for the fact it selfe, I will disprove it, Cause why? |
A05590 | In fortune, or himselfe, each leaving other: He carelesse fled from meanes: If disputable? |
A05590 | Is Christs redemption, fraught with saving bloud: If we have faith in him, if we can pray? |
A05590 | Like so, are troubles, th''whetstone that doth square Stress''d hearts with prayer; humble them most low: Why? |
A05590 | Lithgow, William, 1582- 1645? |
A05590 | Lithgow, William, 1582- 1645? |
A05590 | Looke to Cains murder, how it was clear''d? |
A05590 | May not Philosophers? |
A05590 | May not their Alcoran, serve to condemne us? |
A05590 | My Lord, but spoke, Whom seek yee? |
A05590 | Or sound these deeps, wherein thy counsels dwell? |
A05590 | Shall rich Saturnia, with her cramming gold? |
A05590 | Since ravish''d Paul, amaz''d, hath it conceal''d: Then labour silly soule, this marke to aime, Which seen, and got, how great is thy good name? |
A05590 | So base neare Sydon borne? |
A05590 | Such as the life''s, so frequently the death, The Divels deceit, prolongs us in delay: Then wouldst thou flee that pestilence? |
A05590 | Such passive moods, are frequent growne, that now Old crazd calamitie, begins to quiver: Both rich and poore, live timerous, and how? |
A05590 | Such sowre flagelloes, are the rods of nature, To whippe the childe of lust, with sound correction: Cause why? |
A05590 | The Aethiopian, Abbasins, the Moore, Aegyptian Gopties; Chelfanes, Georgians, Greeks, Nostrans, Syriacks, Jacobines, what more? |
A05590 | The Lord of glore, my life, my love, my light; VVas he not there? |
A05590 | The heavie stone roll''d back, which fourty men, Could scarce advance; yet where''s my loving Lord? |
A05590 | The morne is cooler, than the sun- scorch''d day, The tender juice, more sweeter then old sap: The flowry grasse, more fresh than withred hay? |
A05590 | There is no sense in this, that I should slay My silly soule, to crosse my crost desire: Can head- strong passions, mine accounts defray? |
A05590 | They bragge like Butchers, of their beastly deeds, And laugh at cruelty, as at a play? |
A05590 | This world''s a valley, of perpetuall teares, And what''s the Scripture? |
A05590 | Thus pausing too, on long eternall rest, That boundlesse time, which no time can containe; How rich thinke I these soules be? |
A05590 | To be dissolv''d; my soule may mount aboue, To see these joyes, that blesse, that glorious hyre? |
A05590 | To hide me from thy face, what way? |
A05590 | To him, for thee, did shed his precious blood, And though rebuk''d, yet would he not reprove: Why did he fast, weep, watch, and labour take? |
A05590 | To looke for Christ, but could not finde him there; The Angell spoke, and ask''d, Whom would you have? |
A05590 | Tyrus now calld Sur? |
A05590 | Was I not Cephas, lately thought a Rock? |
A05590 | Was I not witnes, to his word, and deed? |
A05590 | We''re apt to note, the lives of other men, But not our owne; selfe- love, our sense divides; Like two ships, under saile, and one course, ken? |
A05590 | What am I in thine eyes? |
A05590 | What are our present judgements? |
A05590 | What are the humours, of our foggy braines? |
A05590 | What eyes for grief, should not dissolve in floods? |
A05590 | What fond conceits, in flash- flowne merryments? |
A05590 | What foolish prancks, in gesture, deed, or word? |
A05590 | What frivole fancies, flow from my flowne minde? |
A05590 | What good Aurelius said, the Romane King? |
A05590 | What idle straines, in vaine spent complements? |
A05590 | What ill can Hell devise? |
A05590 | What is this age of ours? |
A05590 | What once was Ilium? |
A05590 | What rapt coelestiall, forceth my desire? |
A05590 | What scoffing squibs, which taunting mocks afford? |
A05590 | What shall I say? |
A05590 | What should I say? |
A05590 | What surging follies, overcloud my minde? |
A05590 | What thou canst know, another doth know more, And what he knowes, is but a glimpsing glance: Who perfect is? |
A05590 | What was he made? |
A05590 | Whilst I conceive mans frailnesse, weake by nature, How wretch''d he is? |
A05590 | Who can expresse, that glory there reveal''d? |
A05590 | Who can thy secret Cabine reach above? |
A05590 | Who here within, this Domicile of dust? |
A05590 | Who rightly weighs, the variable kindes, Of Mortals all, in either death or life? |
A05590 | Why then sick soule? |
A05590 | Why? |
A05590 | With what assurance, then may we all hope, What feare can force, despaire, or yet distrust? |
A05590 | Withoutten man, all things( the truth to scan) Had turnd to nothing; for from one degree God of himselfe, made all things: and what more? |
A05590 | Worlds of examples, I could here denote, As well in ancient dayes, as moderne times: What were these Pagans past? |
A05590 | Wrought by thy Sprite, my souls eternall good: Let mercy plead''gainst justice; Lord, give place? |
A05590 | and how blest? |
A05590 | and might attaine it? |
A05590 | and was not I hard by? |
A05590 | and what hath he made us? |
A05590 | but Drunkards do it? |
A05590 | but a springing well Of gushing teares? |
A05590 | but toyle, and worldlie losses? |
A05590 | dost thou not weep one teare? |
A05590 | fell from thine eyes? |
A05590 | for like crymes? |
A05590 | how art thou stretchd? |
A05590 | how carelesse? |
A05590 | how deprest? |
A05590 | how fraile am I? |
A05590 | how he sunke? |
A05590 | how prone to fall or sinke? |
A05590 | how rich I say? |
A05590 | how weak? |
A05590 | how wondrous is thy powerfull love? |
A05590 | how wretchd? |
A05590 | if I could ponder? |
A05590 | no gift in me is left To doe, to speak, to think, one godly motion; Lord help my wants, for why? |
A05590 | or where? |
A05590 | shall disgrace? |
A05590 | shall my flight contrive? |
A05590 | sweet Christ, what I would have? |
A05590 | the carcasse of disease? |
A05590 | the light of nature? |
A05590 | thou canst dive: If to the utmost coasts? |
A05590 | thou ordaind, that death no flesh should shunne, Cause why? |
A05590 | to spend their prime? |
A05590 | two Drudges made me falter thrice, With quivring oathes, and shivring words deny The Lord of life: How could such hounds surprise My sted fast love? |
A05590 | weeping to this grave? |
A05590 | what I sought? |
A05590 | what am I, within this house of clay? |
A05590 | what crosse? |
A05590 | what had I beene? |
A05590 | what had my soule seene? |
A05590 | what intent Hath my cross''d soule? |
A05590 | what is the bubling breath of man? |
A05590 | what passion, thus diverts my minde? |
A05590 | what shall I doe? |
A05590 | what springs? |
A05590 | what trash? |
A05590 | what were they not? |
A05590 | when dead, ere rotten? |
A05590 | when poore man misknowes The life of knowledge, reason did infuse; Shall understanding sleep? |
A05590 | where reason? |
A05590 | who can discusse? |
A05590 | whom seekst thou? |
A05590 | within, without him? |
A16314 | Ah fearefull times, what last and worse age of the world is this we are fallen into? |
A16314 | Alas what can a naked man doe? |
A16314 | Alas, what benefit can come by a thing that lies dead? |
A16314 | And dost thou hate sinne, as sinne, bee it never so little in thine eye? |
A16314 | Are the sinnes of others, and the sorrowes of the Church, as sensible and bitter to thy soule, as thine owne? |
A16314 | Are there not many among us which beginne in the Spirit and end in the flesh? |
A16314 | Are thy failings, matter of daily humiliation unto thy soule? |
A16314 | Are thy thoughts which heretofore were loose and ungodly, now bounded within a sacred compasse, and spent wholly on heavenly things? |
A16314 | Art thou inwardly conscionable in the performance of holy duties? |
A16314 | Art thou one whose heart likes well of sinne, though thou canst not or darest not commit it? |
A16314 | Art thou sensible of the dishonour done unto God, and more vexed for that, than for any disgrace or injury offered to thy self? |
A16314 | Art thou watchful against all occasions and temptations of sinne? |
A16314 | But alas, how few regard the voice of conscience, or once hearken to it? |
A16314 | But seeing they who walke after the flesh are dead already, why doth the Apostle say, You shall die? |
A16314 | But why doth the Apostle say if yee mortifie, is it in our power to deprive sinne of its life and being? |
A16314 | But why saith the Apostle here, yee shall dye, and not, yee shall be damned; in as much as that is chiefly meant? |
A16314 | Can a man conquer the devill with a wisedome that is divellish, that hath him for its damme? |
A16314 | Can such glorious things belong to such a wretch and worme as I am? |
A16314 | Canst thou forget thy selfe, and thy particular businesse to lay these to heart? |
A16314 | Canst thou thinke well of thy selfe that hast by nature such a filthy soule? |
A16314 | Conscience speakes to us, as the Lord to Ionah, doest thou well to be angry? |
A16314 | Doe you chiefly attend your spirituall being, and principally affect things in heaven, and not things on earth? |
A16314 | Doe you grieve inwardly for that dominion which the flesh exerciseth over you, lessening the power and practice of sinne all you can? |
A16314 | Doest thou approve of things as they further thy last account? |
A16314 | Doest thou feele thy selfe grow and increase in the wayes of holinesse? |
A16314 | Doest thou love righteousnesse it selfe, as righteousnesse, bee the thing and subject of never so small a nature? |
A16314 | Doest thou order every passage of thy life, by direction out of Gods word? |
A16314 | Doest thou rejoyce alwayes to be crossing and thwarting thy selfe in those succours, and supports of sinne which thy corruption suggests? |
A16314 | Doest thou see greater excellencies in them than in thy selfe? |
A16314 | Dost thou loath nothing more than thy former spirituall bondage? |
A16314 | Dost thou wel to be thus carnall and earthly, thus eager upon the world, thus cold and indifferent in holy duties? |
A16314 | Doth it chide and reproch thee of thy waies? |
A16314 | Doth the streaming fountaine deny water to the thirsty traveller? |
A16314 | For as the joyes of heaven are unspeakable; So are also the torments of hell, and therfore why doth my barbarous tongue endeavour to decipher them? |
A16314 | Had his conscience beene dull and hard, what security would have crept upon him? |
A16314 | Hast thou a secret dislike of thy naturall estate? |
A16314 | Hast thou been long kept under by some customary vice, against which thou hast resolved, and resolved, but canst not prevaile? |
A16314 | Hast thou begun to repent? |
A16314 | How dares then a sinner call any sin small, when as the Sonne of God gave his life for it, above which nothing in the world can bee esteemed? |
A16314 | How evill and unprofitable in regard of the meanes we have enjoyed, and what we might have beene? |
A16314 | How many notorious visible sinnes hast thou committed, to the scandall of the Gospel and the wounding of thine owne soule? |
A16314 | How many times doth conscience presse us to repentance and better obedience? |
A16314 | How may a man know that grace hath gotten the upper hand, and that the power of sin is abated in him? |
A16314 | How much better is it to be willing to hearken to the voice of conscience here, than bee forced to heare it in hell hereafter? |
A16314 | How much wearinesse and revolting of heart? |
A16314 | How oft have we despised mercy, and cast the precepts of the Almighty behinde our backes? |
A16314 | How often doth it startle us in our postings to hell, and call upon us to settle to amēd our lives? |
A16314 | How shall we that are dead to sin live yet therein? |
A16314 | How should the consciousnesse of this humble thee in secret before God? |
A16314 | How should this startle and affright the secure worldlings of our time? |
A16314 | However stand it out, what if we quake? |
A16314 | If further you demand what shall be the state of this creature, thus cursed of God and condemned to death? |
A16314 | If you aske mee what this death is, I thus define it? |
A16314 | In the affaires of this life we love to excell, and outstrip others: and in matters of Religion to bee dead and lumpish, is it not abominable? |
A16314 | Is it not a strange thing to consider our Ministers, how ignorant, how arrogant, how dissolute and carelesse many of them are? |
A16314 | Is the one precious to thee for his sake whom it resembles, and the other loathsome because it opposes the Almighty? |
A16314 | Is the uprightnesse of others of Gods servants, more highly esteemed by thee than thine owne? |
A16314 | Is there any recompence to the joyes of heaven? |
A16314 | Is there any thing too hard tobedone for his sake? |
A16314 | Is there never a watchman to discover this danger? |
A16314 | Is thy memory which heretofore hath beene stuffed with trash and toyes, now capable and greedy of divine knowledge? |
A16314 | Is thy service ready and cheerefull, without repining and delay? |
A16314 | Is thy understanding informed of the mysteries of Christs Kingdome? |
A16314 | It may be you will ask mee, what is this to the purpose, or at all concerning my text? |
A16314 | Nay, that doth not steale from the Lords owne day, to speake his owne words, to ripen and set forward his owne or his friends advantages? |
A16314 | O miserable man that I am who shall deliuer me from this body of death? |
A16314 | Oh how is the Spirit quenched, and the flesh inflamed every where? |
A16314 | Oh when shall I bee set at liberty, that I may runne the wayes of Gods commandements? |
A16314 | Or prophet left to bewaile our transgressions? |
A16314 | Oughtest thou not much rather to crucifie the flesh, and walke in the spirit, that so thou mayest not fulfill the lusts thereof? |
A16314 | Our first parents being once corrupt, how could any cleane thing bee brought out of their filthinesse? |
A16314 | Our spirit is the better part, and should bee most regarded; Who would deprive his soule of so sweet a guest, to entertaine inordinate lusts? |
A16314 | Sathan will try his skill, and doe his uttermost to prevaile against us, why should wee not then improve our graces to make head against him? |
A16314 | That cleaves to Christ and his blessed truth, when they goe alone severed from all outward credit, pleasure and profit whatsoever? |
A16314 | That is carefull to redeeme all his precious time, and to make every houre of his life comfortable and beneficiall to himselfe and others? |
A16314 | That spares sufficient time to humble him to study Gods will, to acquaint himselfe with the Lord, and keepe a constāt communion with his God? |
A16314 | The Merchant undertakes dangerous adventures to raise his estate; yet alas what is the gold of India to the joyes of heaven? |
A16314 | The reason is, because a thing in its proper motion is never tyred; who ever knew the Sea give over raging, or the streame grow weary of running? |
A16314 | To be out of favor with a Prince is much, but to be out of favour with God, who can abide it? |
A16314 | What a watch then should we keepe over our evill hearts, what paines should we take by prayer and unweariednesse of spirit to suppresse this enemie? |
A16314 | What adoe have wee to bring under our unruly lusts? |
A16314 | What availes a little outward flashy joy, when the conscience is disquieted and vexed within? |
A16314 | What can be plainer than this? |
A16314 | What if Sathan beat mee may a Christian say, since Christ in my stead hath beaten him all to peeces? |
A16314 | What is the reason of these fearefull outcryes, and desperate conclusions of Christians, concerning their spiritual estate? |
A16314 | What is to be dreaded but his displeasure? |
A16314 | What little growth in holinesse have wee? |
A16314 | What little improvement in the wayes of God? |
A16314 | What need many proofes as if every scripture were not given by divine inspiration? |
A16314 | What pittiful folly is this? |
A16314 | What profits pardon of sinne, to one that lyes under the power and dominion of sinne? |
A16314 | What then? |
A16314 | What will it availe a man to say he is rich( like the bragging Laodicean) and yet be extreame miserable, poore and naked? |
A16314 | When thou goest to buy a commodity, if the price be great, thou forbearest, and wilt thou venture up on sinne, knowing what it will cost thee? |
A16314 | Where is the spirit of Paul become, which esteemed all things as dung and drosse to winne Christ? |
A16314 | Who would for a space of pleasure here, deprive himself of eternal blisse hereafter? |
A16314 | Who would strengthen an enemie to oppugne himselfe? |
A16314 | a fading possession to an eternall weight of glory? |
A16314 | and yet how busie are many to increase their owne woe, by putting sinne out of their remembrance? |
A16314 | any danger to the torments of hell? |
A16314 | any pleasure to the sense of Gods favour? |
A16314 | divide the spoile and not fight the battle? |
A16314 | doe we thinke we stand in no need of it? |
A16314 | hot in the beginning, key- cold in the ending, stayning their names and defiling their soules? |
A16314 | of the unknowne pleasures of an appeased conscience, a Iewell of such infinite value, as that all humane glory is but as dust in the ballance to it? |
A16314 | or blesseth God in his soule for the same? |
A16314 | or that God made this defence in vain? |
A16314 | receive the price and not runne the race? |
A16314 | shall we not rather with implacable rage, and constant resolution, assault, pursue, and wound it to the death? |
A16314 | that faint in the race and embrace the world? |
A16314 | too deare, or good for him? |
A16314 | what carelessenesse to become a petitioner to God for mercy? |
A16314 | what doest thou feare? |
A16314 | what hast thou in heaven or earth worthy to be affected but thy Saviour? |
A16314 | what meanest thou to admit such a mate into thy heart with which Gods spirit can not sort? |
A16314 | what will it further any of us to say we feele the decaying of sinne, when as the Kingdome of Sathan still flourisheth in us? |
A16314 | where is the man whose heart is ready prest to obey every of Gods Commandements as well as any of them? |
A16314 | where is the man whose particular calling doth not trench and encroach upon his generall calling, the duties which he owes to God? |
A16314 | wherewith art thou entangled? |
A16314 | who would purchase the pleasure of a base sinne at so high a rate, as to lose the comfortable society of Gods blessed Spirit? |
A16314 | who would redeeme a moment of pleasure, with eternity of paine? |
A16314 | would we raigne with the Saints hereafter, and not labour with them now? |
A23697 | 1. so we may demand of these zealous Invaders, where is the bill of assignment, by which that right was transferr''d to them? |
A23697 | 15. have I need of mad men? |
A23697 | 18. but now we gird our selves and go whither we will; and alass, what use do many of us make of this freedom? |
A23697 | 25. Who then can be saved? |
A23697 | 3. and what can he want who possesses him who is all things? |
A23697 | 3. may yet startle at Esays, who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings? |
A23697 | 41. whet his glittering Sword? |
A23697 | 47. how solicitous are they to repair that error, and leave nothing to the mercy of a Law- quirk? |
A23697 | 50. so verified to have our God in this sense, such a one as our selves? |
A23697 | 9. and shall we hope he will connive at it in Christians? |
A23697 | 9. is very pertinent, Who did sin, this man or his Parents? |
A23697 | AND if this Inquisition be impartially made, who among us can plead not guilty? |
A23697 | AND indeed if we examine the original of this kind of Sorrow, what is there that an with any face pretend to an acceptation? |
A23697 | AND now who can suspect that a cause so rightly dispos''d, should miss of its effect? |
A23697 | Alas what propriety had all their legal purifications towards the cleansing of the mind? |
A23697 | Alas, is it not enough to be at distance where we differ, but must we be so also where we agree? |
A23697 | Alas, is not the whole circuit of Secular things wide enough to contain this swelling humour? |
A23697 | Alas, what stupid folly has possest men? |
A23697 | And aemulate the Angelical obedience and purity, as much as bliss? |
A23697 | And can he imagine we have any such Precept, as lye not one to another, or any such penalty upon the infringer, as exclusion from the new Ierusalem? |
A23697 | And can they be proud of that Vertue which the Devil himself will allow them? |
A23697 | And can we think it sufficient to atone an incensed Majesty, that we love our own ease, while yet we love our sin so much better? |
A23697 | And do we daily thus see Ishmael mocking Isaac, and shall we not think it time to cast out the Bond- woman and her Son? |
A23697 | And how does it reproach the slightness of our sleepy heartless addresses? |
A23697 | And how great an ardency is required to this intercession? |
A23697 | And how wretched, how deplorable is this state? |
A23697 | And it cries out with Esay too, Who can dwell with everlasting Fire? |
A23697 | And now are all these worth no regard, if they are not, why did we exclaim so loudly when we wanted them? |
A23697 | And now in such a distress, who would not think that such a necessity should have become our vertue? |
A23697 | And think themselves good enough when they are as bad as he wishes them? |
A23697 | And why should not our more worthy Hopes excite as great an earnestness? |
A23697 | Are not our Persons at freedom; deliver''d from that kind word, and unkind thing, SECURING? |
A23697 | Are there not Pomps and Vanities of the world enough to entertain this one Lust, but must this Moabite be brought into the Sanctuary? |
A23697 | Are we not also restor''d to all those spiritual advantages which we once profest so much to value? |
A23697 | Be Adulterous in act, that did not first transgress in his desire? |
A23697 | But what need we travel beyond the Alps to find out that, which every where presents its self? |
A23697 | Can he imagine that God sends forth an irresistible strength against some sins, whilest in others he permits men a power of repelling his Grace? |
A23697 | Can it be Incense in his nostrils, to have our Dunghils displayed? |
A23697 | Can we hope to bind Gods hands with Wit hs and Straws? |
A23697 | Can we not be elevated enough unless we trample upon all that is holy, and make Religion Factor for our Ambition? |
A23697 | Children with their Parents? |
A23697 | Do we as passionately desire to do Gods will, as that God should do ours? |
A23697 | Do we expect to reign hereafter, and yet depose our selves before hand here? |
A23697 | First, for excessive Fare, if a man be not excessive too in the eating, what does he enjoy of it? |
A23697 | For alas, what part of wild fury was there in the Heathen Bacchanals, which we have not seen Equall''d if not Exceeded by some intoxicated zealots? |
A23697 | Good God, how might true vital Christianity at this day have flourisht, if we would have bestowed our pains the right way? |
A23697 | Hast thou in all, or any of these estates been thus affected for thy self? |
A23697 | How light are our heaviest, how momentary our most lasting Afflictions, if balanced with that eternal weight of Glory? |
A23697 | How many Servants have on this score been at defiance with their Masters? |
A23697 | How must it then affront and baffle the enticements of sin, when we compare its empty vanishing pleasures with those solid and durable joys? |
A23697 | How shall he be perjured that fears an oath? |
A23697 | How shall he kill that dares not be angry? |
A23697 | If the first sparks of ill were quencht within, what possibility is there they should ever break out into a flame? |
A23697 | If this fairer and more specious part of us were thus reprovable, how obnoxious were the other? |
A23697 | Indeed, what encouragement had those poor creatures to receive a Religion from their Oppressors? |
A23697 | Is so glorious a prize annext to the victory, and will it not animate the faintest heart, and feeblest hands to the combate? |
A23697 | It cries out with Ioseph, How shall I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? |
A23697 | Men of common reason would be asham''d to use such frivolous cavils: but who can without horror hear them from profest Christians? |
A23697 | Must we always waste our strength in forging shackles for our selves? |
A23697 | Nay, has he not moreover( in the Scripture style) made it drunk with blood? |
A23697 | Now what other employment of wealth is there( after competent accommodations are provided) which can contribute to a mans Felicity? |
A23697 | Or defraud that permits not himself to covet? |
A23697 | Or that what has so many tenures in us, should be finally disseis''d? |
A23697 | Or the sword of the Spirit to subdue all to the obedience of Christ? |
A23697 | Or what cruelty in their most barbarous rites, which has not been matcht by the inhumanity of dissenting Christians? |
A23697 | Or who reverences a man for the sharpness of that Sword wherewith he commits his Paricide? |
A23697 | Our iniquities are upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we live? |
A23697 | Shall the sword devour for ever? |
A23697 | Shall these I say be so slight and inconsiderable, as not to hinder his ascent to the hill of the Lord? |
A23697 | Snuff at his service, and say, What a weariness is it? |
A23697 | Suffer every the vilest lust to rule over us? |
A23697 | That this so auspicious Planet should be counter- influenc''t by any malevolent Star? |
A23697 | The essence and being of Christianity is practice; and according to that Test and proof thereof, where almost can it be said to Exist in the world? |
A23697 | This is sure too wild an imagination for any to entertain, yet what more sober one can any pretend, in favour of so stupendous an improvidence? |
A23697 | Thus saith the Lord, A sword, a sword, it is sharpned to make a sore slaughter, it is furbished that it may glitter, should we then make mirth? |
A23697 | To arrest his vengeance with such faint and feeble assaults? |
A23697 | WHEN all this is consider''d, what a sad abode does it make? |
A23697 | Was it not enough that he engag''d his Omnipotence for us, but must his Omniscience also be prest upon the same service? |
A23697 | What Lions can we fear in the way which this hope is not Sampson enough to encounter? |
A23697 | What a Piety is this that we must owe to the Devil, while we can be no better than he will let us? |
A23697 | What a mockery is it for a man to be zealous for God, and rebellious against his King? |
A23697 | What nicety in cloaths or diet have we cut off in sympathy with the nakedness and hunger of our afflicted brethren? |
A23697 | What shall we drink? |
A23697 | What vanity( I fear I may ask what vice) have we substracted, upon the sense of Gods anger? |
A23697 | Whether these marks of the Beast can ever rank them among the followers of the Lamb? |
A23697 | Whether they bring Alexanders sword to cut asunder the Gordian knot, to sever between the promise and the condition? |
A23697 | Who admires the Sagacity of the Viper, that Eats her way through her mothers bowels? |
A23697 | Who is there that( unless awakened by his personal concernments) seems at all to startle at the noise of publick ruine? |
A23697 | Why doest thou tread my Courts? |
A23697 | Why should men wander to seek beggary and emptiness, who may with far less labour be rich at home? |
A23697 | Ye stand upon the sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every man his neighbours wife, and shall ye possess the land? |
A23697 | Yet now we have them, who considers them, or is regulated by them? |
A23697 | Yet what multitudes of men are there engag''d in such chases as this? |
A23697 | and by what measures do they make their estimates? |
A23697 | and can we think it will be more modest, when it shall be told that they are only edgeless weapons it hath to encounter? |
A23697 | and hast thou with him wept sore, and vehemently solicited a recovery? |
A23697 | and hast thou with loud and earnest cries, appealed to that God to whom vengeance belongs? |
A23697 | and provide all he could foresee we would wish? |
A23697 | can we remember that we are candidates for a Kingdom, and yet retain the abject spirits of slaves? |
A23697 | has thy estate been invaded by Oppression, thy fame by Slander and Detraction? |
A23697 | how are their precious Souls become so vile in their eyes, that they are the only part of them, which they think below their regard? |
A23697 | if they are, why are we still as querulous now we have them? |
A23697 | is it a vertue to have some ineffective regrets to damnation, and such a Vertue too, as shall serve to ballance all our vices? |
A23697 | knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the later end? |
A23697 | nay, Wives with their Husbands? |
A23697 | nay, bring down Heaven to us, and enstate us in undisturb''d unmix''d felicities? |
A23697 | or can his pure eyes be gratified with such polluted prospects? |

A65821 | As God said of the old world: Here is a wicked people, What shall I do with them? |
A65821 | Being put to death in the flesh: Who put to death? |
A65821 | But did not you hear it read, and had it preached to you? |
A65821 | But did they do so? |
A65821 | But for thee to go on in sin, and reject pardon when offered: What canst thou say for thy self? |
A65821 | But for thee to live in a wicked ungodly way, and take no thought for eternity: what wilt thou do sinner, when death comes and awakens thee? |

A65821 | But what did they do? |
A65821 | But why, you poor sinners, why do not you believe that God is in good earnest now? |
A65821 | But( pray) what became of the other Tribes that were under the tutilage and government of the Posterity of David? |
A65821 | But, saith he, if you are ignorant of this one thing; you are wilfully ignorant: VVhat is that? |

A65821 | Did God ever in a danger that you have been in, make a Sea for you to pass through, and your life saved? |

A65821 | Does God give thee abundance of the glory of the earth? |
A65821 | Every human body hath his Tenant: What''s that? |
A65821 | First, What are these Prisoners? |
A65821 | For what reason do I think that by Spirit is here meant the Holy Ghost? |
A65821 | Fourthly, What''s the Crime( having discoursed of the Prison)? |
A65821 | Fourthly, What''s the cause of their commitment? |
A65821 | Had not you a Bible? |
A65821 | Hast thou a mind to have Grace? |
A65821 | Hast thou a mind to have the Spirit of Grace and Supplication? |
A65821 | Have you no time to think of them? |

A65821 | How long? |
A65821 | How wilt thou do it? |
A65821 | I will not let them go, saith Pharaoh; why who is your God, that I should obey him? |
A65821 | I''le tell thee, thou scoffer, and walker after thy lusts, Dost thou not know that God once drowned the world? |
A65821 | If any should enquire why, or who call''d me to interpose these few rude lines? |
A65821 | If you ask where he had Money to do all this, he lived frugally himself? |
A65821 | In the opening of it, there are these things I shall speak to; First, What are these Prisoners? |
A65821 | In whom? |
A65821 | Is it the office of Charity to further mens delusion and damnation? |
A65821 | Is there not a merciful God that would forgive and forget all that is past, if you would even now to day fully, without any hesitation, return to him? |
A65821 | Look in the glass of the Christian Church, and then tell me, how many among us are like to be saved? |
A65821 | Nay, when thou hast provoked him to wrath more than the Devil, dost thou think he will spare thee, and not an Angel? |
A65821 | No, No, you will believe none? |
A65821 | No? |
A65821 | No? |
A65821 | None of them? |
A65821 | Now, Secondly, Thou hast deserv''d it, sinner; thy crime deserves it: What is the crime? |
A65821 | O sinners, What will you do? |
A65821 | Put to death in the flesh, What''s that? |
A65821 | Put to death in the flesh, by whom? |
A65821 | Put to death in the flesh, by whom? |
A65821 | Say you so? |
A65821 | Secondly, How are these Prisoners carried away to their Prison? |
A65821 | Secondly, What is it to be quickned by the Spirit? |
A65821 | Sirs, This, this is the case of multitudes of our neighbours; and what would you have a Minister to do in such a case? |
A65821 | Sirs, tell us as Christians, or at least as men, what faith, and reason, and humane love command us to do in such a case? |
A65821 | So here Christ died as to the flesh, but he was made alive: that is, he was raised from the dead: Raised, How was he raised? |
A65821 | So then the rich man is in hell; how so? |
A65821 | That you believe not God that speaks by his Son, and by his Prophets? |
A65821 | The Question will be, What is the reason that men will not believe? |
A65821 | Thirdly, What is this preaching? |
A65821 | Thirdly, What''s this prison? |
A65821 | Thou art his Creature? |
A65821 | To whom? |
A65821 | To whom? |
A65821 | Turn ye, turn ye, why will you die? |
A65821 | VVell, and thus they argue, saying, Where is the promise of his coming? |
A65821 | VVhat do they scoff at? |
A65821 | VVhat if God appeareth upon a Mount, and speaks signally, will you believe now? |
A65821 | VVhy do these men scoff at it? |
A65821 | VVhy, do you think there are any such here, that are of such a mind? |
A65821 | VVhy, what are they? |
A65821 | VVill you believe by a Christ? |
A65821 | We will begin at the First: First, What it is to be put to death in the flesh? |
A65821 | Well now, say you, What shall we do? |
A65821 | Well, But what shall we say of our selves? |
A65821 | Well, but is it just for God to damn me thus eternally in a prison, because I will not repent of my sin? |
A65821 | Well, but whether must I go? |
A65821 | Well, what became of these Ten Tribes? |
A65821 | Well; but say you, Did Christ by his Spirit preach to them after they went to Hell? |
A65821 | Were they damned for that? |
A65821 | Wh ● ●''s the Crime? |
A65821 | What Spirit is here? |
A65821 | What a whole Kingdom of ten Tribes, and but seven thousand saved? |
A65821 | What a whole world drowned, and but eight saved? |
A65821 | What a wonderful blessing was this, for the great God to marry himself to a people? |

A65821 | What immediately? |
A65821 | What is it damns me then? |
A65821 | What is the reason of all this? |
A65821 | What is the reason of it, why wo nt you believe? |
A65821 | What is the reason that you do not believe? |
A65821 | What man that really was in his wits, and did believe a Hell, would venture upon those sins that will certainly bring him thither? |

A65821 | What, that great Kingdom of Judah cut off, and but a few of them saved? |
A65821 | What, will none lay down a ransome for me? |
A65821 | What,( I pray) was the old World? |
A65821 | What? |
A65821 | When God brought Israel out of Egypt, did God ever work such Miracles for you, as he did for them? |
A65821 | When you are in Prison, if it be for debt, How can you get out? |
A65821 | When you were thirsty, did God ever bring water out of a Rock to quench your thirst? |
A65821 | When? |

A65821 | Who can speak too plainly or too earnestly to such? |
A65821 | Who went? |
A65821 | Why I did not believe my sin would bring me there? |
A65821 | Why should he not( notwithstanding all his goodness) damn such a rebel as thou art, as well as damn an Angel? |
A65821 | Why were no more saved? |
A65821 | Why what did the rest do? |
A65821 | Why what did the rest do? |
A65821 | Why what were their sins? |

A30615 | So, Oh that God would meet with such as are declining from the good waies of God, Oh thou soul whither art thou going? |
A30615 | So, what''s your chief Joy, your profitting by the word, or gaining by your bargains? |
A30615 | The work of Grace when it is first wrought, it hath the name of Vocation: Calling, what is it for a man to be called? |

A30615 | Whither was I going? |
A30615 | Who did ever walk with God so as Christ did? |
A30615 | Who were these? |
A30615 | Why( you will say?) |

A30615 | and are your thoughts solicitous about this? |
A30615 | and be rouling of sin and wickedness up and down in your thoughts? |
A30615 | and how can that stand with such workings as I have had before? |

A30615 | if thou hadst but thy thoughts often working this way, Wherefore do I think in my conscience hath God made the children of men, for what end? |
A30615 | is it the losse of the light of the face of God, or the losse of an estate, the losse of a voyage, or the commission of a sin? |

A30615 | what shall people do then, when they see that either way holy men go in? |
A30615 | what was Demas before? |

A30615 | whatsoever other men do, they do thus and thus, and seek to follow their own ends and waies, but ought not YE to walk in the fear of our God? |
A30615 | when their goods were spoil''d, did they take that joyfully? |
A30615 | when will that blessed day come when I shall come to enjoy those good things that are there? |
A30615 | where''s the great workings of your spirits? |
A30615 | who are you conversing withal? |
A30615 | who had ever that fellowship with the Father and the Son so as Christ had? |
A30615 | why hath he sent them hither into the world? |
A30615 | wil not this be folly? |
A30615 | will a Reprobates portion content thee? |
A30615 | will it serve thee? |
A30615 | will not you curse your selves hereafter for your folly? |
A30615 | will the Lord be pleased with thousands of Rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of Oyl? |
A30615 | with Calves of a yeer old? |
A30615 | you should be walking with God: what are you the Saints of God? |
A39932 | 5. seeing they knew as well as he, the miracle which the God of Israel had wrought upon him? |
A39932 | A man had need run to and fro to seek them; and if any should ask me, Where such dwell? |
A39932 | ANd why do many betake themselves to do somewhat for making their peace( as they pretend) with God? |
A39932 | All the question is, and must be, Whether the way we take, be such, as hath a tendency towards Heaven? |
A39932 | And are not the wayes of God, the things you abhorr, and can not abide? |
A39932 | And can they complain, they have not light to see their way ● o Heaven? |
A39932 | And did not the Gibeonites the same? |
A39932 | And do not all Nations, at this day, hear the report of our Lord Jesus Christ? |
A39932 | And do not the Turks and Heathen now the same, or the like? |
A39932 | And do not they in these Prayers acknowledge, that whatever their endeavours are, the end and event of all is from God only? |
A39932 | And for the Counsels of God, in disposing of his Creatures according to his pleasure, what reasonable man can question them? |
A39932 | And have we not all of us a conscience to accuse and excuse, to encourage us in that which is good, and affright us from all that is evil? |
A39932 | And here I may, upon this occasion, take up a complaint, and say, Who, or where is he, that will bear a seasonable reproof, when it is given him? |
A39932 | And how comes it to pass, that they have so much respect for those holy men, whose lives and conversations they never care to follow? |
A39932 | And how did God harden Pharaoh? |
A39932 | And how doth he wrong it? |
A39932 | And how much less absurdity is there, in exhorting those, in whom the spirit is willing, though the flesh is weak? |
A39932 | And how should God will mens repentance, otherwise than he doth? |
A39932 | And how unreasonable are men in this? |
A39932 | And how was that? |
A39932 | And how, without any teaching or prompting, they learn to do vainly and wickedly? |
A39932 | And if so, Why( I pray) may not God glorifie himself in the one, as well as in the other? |
A39932 | And if you read on, it is to be seen in the next words, Why? |
A39932 | And indeed, how should they? |
A39932 | And is not this enough to clear God, and condemn the unbelieving world? |
A39932 | And is there not a spice of this in all the children of men? |
A39932 | And is there not also a goodness of God in his providential dispensations, that leads men to repentance? |
A39932 | And let it be observ''d, what that Text hath in terminis: How can ye that are accustomed,& c. Or, Ye that have learnt, and are instructed? |
A39932 | And may I not then say, Men may be saved, if they will? |
A39932 | And may not God stop their mouths by saying, What is it to you, whether it would have serv''d your turn or no? |
A39932 | And may not the Queen of Sheba be ● n instance to the same purpose? |
A39932 | And not to be tedious in I ● ● stances, How many Sects were there in Chris ● time, and before? |
A39932 | And now what can they say in reason, to be a sufficient excuse? |
A39932 | And shall their Faith save them? |
A39932 | And that he sent his Son into the World, to condemn the World, and not that the World through him might be saved? |
A39932 | And then where lyes the fault? |
A39932 | And then, how can any of us look on our selves, as more excusable than they? |
A39932 | And then, what can they be other, than Idolaters? |
A39932 | And then, where( I pray) lies the absurdity? |
A39932 | And therefore, Why doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sin? |
A39932 | And thereupon ask, Why should it seem incredible, that one who had his beeing from none, but of himself, should make all things out of nothing? |
A39932 | And to instance only in one, Did ever man command and controll the Devil, as he did, and that only in his own name and power? |
A39932 | And was it not so with others afterwards? |
A39932 | And what can they answer, if they be ask''d, Why do you not then trace their footsteps? |
A39932 | And what do many in the whole course of their lives, more than trifle about somewhat, which is indeed nothing to any purpose? |
A39932 | And what do these mean by their going to Church, and joyning in publick Prayers, and hearing of Sermons, and receiving the Sacraments? |
A39932 | And what is his way, to cheat the World, and gull men of all they have, worth saving or losing? |
A39932 | And what is that? |
A39932 | And what manner of Ministers are they, who are so much expos''d to quarrels? |
A39932 | And what need we any more witnesses, to convince and condemn these men? |
A39932 | And what one among all those seems more incredible and irrational, than the Resurrection? |
A39932 | And what reason, I pray, is there in this case, more than in those? |
A39932 | And what way is it? |
A39932 | And who among us now, would not desire to be with those Patriarchs, and Prophets, and other holy men of God before and since the coming of Christ? |
A39932 | And why is all this adoe? |
A39932 | And why? |
A39932 | And why? |
A39932 | And why? |
A39932 | And will any man say, That such an obdurate Sinner, is therefore the more excusable? |
A39932 | And will he not( think you) make good his Word, and execute his own Lawes? |
A39932 | And will not the Lord say thus one day? |
A39932 | And will this( think you) excuse them? |
A39932 | And will you not then obey, and submit? |
A39932 | And wilt thou say yet, that God hath not given it thee ▪ to return to him? |
A39932 | And with what face can they plead, That if they had known the good, and the right way, they would have walked in it? |
A39932 | And yet were offended at him, as appears in the next words: Is not this Joseph''s S ● n? |
A39932 | And yet what adoe is there, to make them heed or learn any thing that good is? |
A39932 | And yet who dare say, that the faithfull and godly among them, all that while, had no communion with God? |
A39932 | Annòn sibi sunt Conscii? |
A39932 | Are there not many that say in their hearts, and some upon occasion with their mouths also, Far be it from us to hate God, or any of his wayes? |
A39932 | Are these practices becoming them, that pretend so much to Godliness, and would be thought more ex ● ellent than their Neighbours? |
A39932 | Are they not inclin''d to set up themselves, in opposition to God, upon any occasion? |
A39932 | At another time, when some said, This is the Christ; others said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? |
A39932 | But how can a man act, so as to intend his action, according to that whic ● he knows not, nor doth ever consider of? |
A39932 | But how shall that enmity and wilfullness be removed? |
A39932 | But how, and upon what terms? |
A39932 | But if there be a God( such as we believe) in what a case will he be, at the great day of account? |
A39932 | But may not they say, Lord, if we had walkt by that light, it would not have serv''d for our everlasting salvation? |
A39932 | But some will reply and say, Who denies or questions this? |
A39932 | But what of all this? |
A39932 | But what then? |
A39932 | But when is it? |
A39932 | But who are the one, and who the other, who can say? |
A39932 | But why did the Pharisees deride our Saviour? |
A39932 | Can a dead man raise himself to life again? |
A39932 | Can not servants work to please God, and their Masters too? |
A39932 | Can the Aethiopian change his skin, or the Leopard his spots? |
A39932 | Can there be pleasure in sinning for a moment, when the pains of Hell will be endless, and intollerable? |
A39932 | Can you be such bruitish sots, as not to know, that the World to come will be quite another thing than this present evil World? |
A39932 | Canst thou be so unreasonably negligent about thy Soul, when thou art so uncessantly, and excessively carefull of every other, the least concernment? |
A39932 | Canst thou do thus, and for the Joy set before thee endure the Cross, and despise the shame? |
A39932 | Cast away all your transgressions,& c. for why will you die? |
A39932 | Cast away from you all your transgressions,& c. For why will you die? |
A39932 | Did any of them do thus, and let all the care of their Salvation lie somewhere else, without ever looking after it? |
A39932 | Did the Iews want any means, whereby they might know him to be, as he was indeed, the promised Messiah? |
A39932 | Did they know by immediate and extr ● ordinary Revelation, before they repented and believed, that they were of the number that should be saved? |
A39932 | Do not Turks and Iews condemn all Christians to the Pit of Hell? |
A39932 | Do not Turks and Tartars know the God of the Christians, and blaspheme him? |
A39932 | Do not these men proclaim Gods commands to be their principles, and yet contradict them in all their practices? |
A39932 | Do they not then, as the Mariners, cry every man to his God? |
A39932 | Do we believe, there is a God that made us, and dare we question his dealings, as if he punish''d us upon any account, but our transgressions? |
A39932 | Doth not every man find it so, or might he not, if he would? |
A39932 | Doth not the Apostle lay the ground- work and foundation of* all Religion, upon the Resurrection? |
A39932 | Else, Why do they say their Prayers, and begg of God their daily bread? |
A39932 | Fasting and beating down their bodies? |
A39932 | First, I''le suppose the Scandall to be indeed reall: What then? |
A39932 | For I may now ask all who complain, What is lacking to them more? |
A39932 | For he gave him sufficient powe ● and strength to stand, if he would, and was 〈 ◊ 〉 this enough? |
A39932 | For how can a man apprehend God aright, without apprehending him infinite? |
A39932 | For may not God answer, What''s that to you? |
A39932 | For seeing God can do whatever he will, why are not they also converted? |
A39932 | For suppose God to be wanting in any thing necessary on his part for our salvation, may not a condemned sinner justly reply thus? |
A39932 | For the intention of God, and Christ, what is that to me, or any man else, seeing it is secret? |
A39932 | For then ho ● shall God judge the World? |
A39932 | For wha ● is it that makes and constitutes the Church? |
A39932 | For what can a man do, to destroy his soul, and pull upon himself the most intollerable condemnation, more than to sin, as much as possibly he can? |
A39932 | For what danger can there be, in saying indifferently, what Scripture saith often in terminis, and so pressing all to believe on him? |
A39932 | For what do many wicked wretches ha ● e, and scorn, and persecute now? |
A39932 | For what is Gods way the worse, because such and such have turn''d aside from it? |
A39932 | For what is this more, or better, than the enmity that is in their hearts against God, and his wayes? |
A39932 | For what will they say, other than this? |
A39932 | God forbid that we should procure to our selves the damnation of our own souls? |
A39932 | God requires no more than he gives; Now God hath not given me to Repent,& c. and what can I do? |
A39932 | Hath God will''d thee to be doing, all thou canst, for thy present Subsistence, and nothing at all for thy everlasting Salvation? |
A39932 | Hath not every sin somewhat of this in it? |
A39932 | Hath not the Potter power over the clay,& c. And doth not the Prophet( whom the Apostle cites, or alludes to in that place) say as much, and more? |
A39932 | Have I been wanting to you? |
A39932 | Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge,& c? |
A39932 | He doth indeed order and over- rule thee ▪ in all thou dost: How else should he be, what he is? |
A39932 | He had done indeed some miracles( they could not deny it) in curing some poor, sick and leprous persons: But what were these? |
A39932 | He hath done, what he ought not to have done ▪ But why is this cast, as dirt, in the face of all Professors, and profession of Religion? |
A39932 | He is the Judge of all the Earth, and will not he do right? |
A39932 | Hence I am bold to ask, Who are the veriest fools? |
A39932 | Here I can not omit, what the Turks are wo nt to say, when another will not believe them, What dost take me for a Christian? |
A39932 | How apt are all men, even from the Cradle, to close with, and run after the toyes and vanities of this World? |
A39932 | How can Children be thankful, but in being dutiful to their Parents? |
A39932 | How can it be otherwise? |
A39932 | How can we be obedient to God in any thing, but that which we know to be his will? |
A39932 | How could they refuse, if there were no provision made for them? |
A39932 | How could we help it? |
A39932 | How did he yield upon occasion, to avoid offence to the weak? |
A39932 | How else shall he quit himself, and shew that he is above you? |
A39932 | How many a Sinner hath parted with his life for his lusts sake? |
A39932 | How many times have they been rounded in the ear, and told by a voice within them, that their way was not good before the Lord? |
A39932 | How must they not one day be without all excuse, even upon this account? |
A39932 | How often hath Conscience stood, as the Angel did in Balaams way, with a drawn sword in his hand, to turn them back again? |
A39932 | How shall they be turned from the power of Satan unto God, when they can not see it will be for the better, but rather for the worse? |
A39932 | How should a beast understand the things of a man, and how much less can a man understand the things of God? |
A39932 | How should they be otherwise? |
A39932 | How then can it be said, That God hath sufficiently provided for all? |
A39932 | How then had they a sufficiency of means? |
A39932 | How was Israel divided, abou ● the way of worshipping God, after the re ● ● made by Ieroboam? |
A39932 | How would men have God to save them? |
A39932 | I ask whether such a Servant may not justly be made to suffer? |
A39932 | I believe you have some such thoughts, or you would not take the courses that you do: But O ye fools, when will you be wise? |
A39932 | I know God hath a Soveraign power over the hearts of all men, but what then? |
A39932 | I know not what thou mak''st account of; but why dost thou build so much upon so rotten a foundation, as thine own Works, and Doings? |
A39932 | I make no account of meriting at the hands of God? |
A39932 | I shall ask them, Whether God may not take the same liberty, that men do many times, and yet are no way questioned for it? |
A39932 | I wish men would but question themselves sometimes about such matters, and say to their own Souls, What ayles me? |
A39932 | I wonder men are not ashamed to ask, How the enmity of their hearts against God shall be removed? |
A39932 | I ● it not hearkning to, and obeying the voice o ● God in his Word? |
A39932 | If God be so willing, that men should repent and believe, why do they not repent and believe? |
A39932 | If I be a Master, where is my fear, saith the Lord of Hosts unto you, O Priests, that despise my Name? |
A39932 | If any ask, What is to be done in the case? |
A39932 | If any say, That some have never heard of Christ, and then how can they believe on him, of whom they have not heard? |
A39932 | If it be said, Man had never fallen at first, if God had not left him to himself? |
A39932 | If then I be a Father, where is mine honour? |
A39932 | If there be somewhat for thee to do,( as I suppose there is) why art thou not about it, and hard at it, and that presently, without delay? |
A39932 | If they had but a sign from Heaven, if they could once be certainly assur''d of such and such matters, what would not they do? |
A39932 | If you desire to know, which of them? |
A39932 | In a word, They like not the Doctrine, and how should they be pleased with him that brings it? |
A39932 | In destroying those who have had all means sufficient to save them, and willingly rejected all, because they did not like them? |
A39932 | Is it indeed, because they are so bad and base, as you would make them? |
A39932 | Is it not enough, to make them inexcusable, that they hear, where Life and Salvation is to be had? |
A39932 | Is it not the life of holiness, and power of Godliness; such as was in the Saints of old? |
A39932 | Is it not your delight and pastime to do wickedly? |
A39932 | Is it nothing to thee, what becomes of thee to all Eternity? |
A39932 | Is it reasonable to do so, if we are not perswaded, there is sucfficient provision made, so as nothing is wanting, if there be Faith to receive it? |
A39932 | Is not every wicked man free, in making all the opposition that he can, against the means of his conversion? |
A39932 | Is not this the son of Ioseph? |
A39932 | Is not this to quit our selves, and cast all the blame upon God only? |
A39932 | Is that a ground sufficient to say, I will never goe in the way, that such pretended to? |
A39932 | Is there any man alive, of whom any other can, or dare say, This is one of them, for whom Christ dyed not? |
A39932 | Is there profit in destruction? |
A39932 | Is there so much as common sense, in saying, Why should I do what''s good and right ▪ when others do not? |
A39932 | Is this according to their profession? |
A39932 | It is as much as to say, What need I suffer, and( by the same reason) what need I do any thing about Religion, if there be no Resurrection? |
A39932 | Luc 13.23, 24,& c. Then said one unto him, Lord, Are there few that be saved? |
A39932 | May not he take, and use his liberty, in the dispensing of his own gifts, specially when he leaves none without witness? |
A39932 | May not the Lord use his liberty in punishing sin sometimes in such young sinners, so long as( we all grant it) they are of the Serpents brood? |
A39932 | May not we do with our own, as we will? |
A39932 | May we not therefore say, Have they not heard? |
A39932 | Must he be tied up, and bound to terms, such as we our selves would not? |
A39932 | Nay but O man, who art thou, that repliest against God? |
A39932 | Nay moreover, what if there was this in it too, that if they had had more light, they would have done as they did? |
A39932 | Nay, do not lewd and vicious persons cry out against others, that they are not, what they seem to be? |
A39932 | Nay, doth not the Spirit in us, lust towards dethroning him, that he may have no command in the World? |
A39932 | Nay, if you tell them, they are in the broad way towards Hell, will they not be ready to flie in your face, and say, You do them wrong? |
A39932 | Nay, is it better than blasphemy, to cry out with open mouth, against that which is of God, because of that which is vile and base in men? |
A39932 | Nay, is there not in every sin more than an intimation, that we would have Gods will stoop to ours, and so have our wills to countermand his? |
A39932 | Never was there such a sign from Heaven, as the Son of God dwelling in our flesh; and yet how little were the Iews satisfied with it? |
A39932 | No, for the most part, men are asham''d, and will not own these; and yet continuing in the practice of them, do they not sin condemn''d of themselves? |
A39932 | Now canst thou, or dar''st thou say, that God hath not given thee time, and space to Repent? |
A39932 | Now it being thus with us, whose fault is it, if we perish, and die in our sins? |
A39932 | Now may I not say of these, Have they not heard and known? |
A39932 | Now what absurdity is there in this? |
A39932 | Now what doth this signifie? |
A39932 | Now what shall we think of these men? |
A39932 | Now whose fault is it, that thou lovest thy sins? |
A39932 | Now, how often doth God clear himself, and cast all the blame of mens destruction upon themselves? |
A39932 | Now, is not this in effect all one as to say, if we are cast away, and die in our sins, it is no fault of ours? |
A39932 | Now, what have you to say against this? |
A39932 | Or can you devise a way, how you may enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season, and yet escape the torments of Hell for ever? |
A39932 | Or hath he left it to thy Choice, whether thou wilt do any thing, or nothing at all? |
A39932 | Or if any man do it, may it not justly and rationally be said to him, as Elihu spake unto Iob? |
A39932 | Or is it not rather, because they shine before you, to shew you the good, and the right way, and you have no mind to walk in it? |
A39932 | Or is it their fault, that it abides upon them? |
A39932 | Or is subjection and service to be denied by others, because some Servants and Subjects are not so good as they should be? |
A39932 | Or justly perish only for refusing? |
A39932 | Or was the Book of Life opened to them, that they might read their own names there recorded, and so be encouraged to repent, and turn to God? |
A39932 | Or what could he do for them? |
A39932 | Questionless he will; else how shall he clear himself in condemning the wicked world? |
A39932 | Rather, have not you wronged your selves, and been sinners against your own Souls? |
A39932 | Read the Scriptures once more, and see, if there be nothing commanded thee in order to this? |
A39932 | Set aside thy going to Church on Sundayes,( with what mind, thou thy self best knowest) what is there of Religion to be seen in thee? |
A39932 | Shall any of the damned( think you) ever have cause, or just occasion to quarrel God in this manner? |
A39932 | Shall not these be witnesses against you? |
A39932 | Shall not they( think you) be your Judges? |
A39932 | Shall the thing formed, say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? |
A39932 | Suppose thou canst not so much as read a Chapter, what hinders, that thou dost not hear others read? |
A39932 | Sure many of them( the more pity) are profoundly ignorant of the very first Principles of the Protestant- Religion? |
A39932 | Tell me, Did''st thou ever pray, or praise God so, as thou durst expect acceptance, upon thine own account? |
A39932 | That the gate which leads to life eternal, is strait, and the way narrow? |
A39932 | The revealed things belong to us; and we shall( for certain) be question''d one day only, Why we did not accept of Christ, when he was tendred to us? |
A39932 | There were multitudes that heard the Son of God preaching to them, and were not perswaded or convinced, but many were the more hardned: What then? |
A39932 | These are our own concernments, and why should we give others an account of them? |
A39932 | These be your great Professors, say many: But who? |
A39932 | They are by nature, and of themselves, able to do little, or nothing, that good is; and wish it were otherwise, but how can they help it? |
A39932 | They are condemn''d for their sinfull neglects, and not improving their talents: And is not their condemnation just? |
A39932 | They profess what they do not practice; and is not this enough to silence them, when they say, If we had known, we would have done better? |
A39932 | They that know the Laws of Christ, and labour to walk accordingly: Or they that pretend to know them, but in all their works deny them? |
A39932 | They will say, Why should we be bound to them? |
A39932 | This clears him; and dare any man say or think, that our Saviour meant otherwise than he spake? |
A39932 | This is an hard saying, who can hear it? |
A39932 | Thou vain foolish man, thinkest thou, that any Religion can be worse than thine? |
A39932 | Was Christ the worse, or the less to be esteem''d, because Peter denied and forswore him? |
A39932 | Was it because there was not light enough in the Sun of Righteousness, that so many did not see it? |
A39932 | Was it not in his heart( think you) that Ierusalem was the only cause of her destruction? |
A39932 | Was it not in the way of Repentance towards God, and Faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ? |
A39932 | We can not indeed break his yoak from off our necks: But would we not break it off, if we could? |
A39932 | Wh ● dare say, that Gods Word and Spirit are no ● sufficient to instruct us in all things necessary ▪ and to lead us into all truth? |
A39932 | What Sign shewest thou, that we may see, and believe? |
A39932 | What a difficulty is there in gathering up a mans thoughts and affections in duty, and keeping a strait hand upon them all the while? |
A39932 | What could have been done more, that I have not done? |
A39932 | What did you know of what might, or would be? |
A39932 | What do they then, in their thus magnifying the Saints of old? |
A39932 | What else is their meaning, when they pretend, as they do, so much love and good liking to God, and the wayes of his Commandments? |
A39932 | What if God see, that if they had more light and means than we, and some others have, that they would rebel the more, as we, and many others do? |
A39932 | What inference( think you) will Infidels, and ungodly prophane men make from it? |
A39932 | What iniquity have you found in me? |
A39932 | What is it to me, or any others, what God will, or will not do, in case we do our utmost with what we have? |
A39932 | What kind of question is this? |
A39932 | What knew he, whether his Master would not have supplied him with more light, if he had found him at work by the light which he had? |
A39932 | What knowest thou, that they may not recover themselves, and come to repentance? |
A39932 | What reason then is there, in making the wayes of God to suffer for the faults of those that pretend to them? |
A39932 | What should he have done more for them? |
A39932 | What think you? |
A39932 | What was it to him, whether his light would serve for all his Masters work? |
A39932 | What will men make of God? |
A39932 | What would men have of God ▪ Or what they make of him? |
A39932 | What would not they have given, to have recovered the time which they had mis- spent? |
A39932 | Where are there two men in all the World, that are of one mind in every thing? |
A39932 | Where do you read these things, or who told you so, that others may learn and know as much as you? |
A39932 | Who are the Parties appeal''d unto in that case? |
A39932 | Who believed not? |
A39932 | Who dare say, that God hath made but a scanty provision for our salvation? |
A39932 | Who hath formed a God,& c? |
A39932 | Who hath not read, or heard what hazards the first Reformers ran, and what despightfull opposition they met withall? |
A39932 | Who is this Jehovah; I pray, that I must be commanded by him? |
A39932 | Who then shall bear the blame, but themselves? |
A39932 | Who were they? |
A39932 | Why did not you that which was your duty to do, in using what I had given you? |
A39932 | Why do they dress, and plow, and sow their Land, and never question, what God hath decreed about the harvest? |
A39932 | Why do they not frequent the company of those, who will admonish them upon all occasions, and advise them about ordering all their wayes? |
A39932 | Why do you slight, and set at naught, scorn and deride the wayes of God and godliness? |
A39932 | Why dost thou make us to doubt? |
A39932 | Why dost thou strive against him? |
A39932 | Why dost thou then talk idly, of what thou hast done and suffered? |
A39932 | Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead? |
A39932 | Why so? |
A39932 | Why( I pray you) do you so much magnifie the Sain ● ● of old, who are now in Heaven? |
A39932 | Why,( Sirs,) they were all of them holy men, that led their lives on earth, as becommeth Saints? |
A39932 | Will a man be at cost and ● ains to serve and feed his lusts, and he not love ● hem? |
A39932 | Will he commend and reward all, according as they all perswaded themselves, that their way was good? |
A39932 | Will he say, It was in his heart to damn them before they were born, and that for nothing, but because it was his will and pleasure? |
A39932 | Wilt thou wilfully prosecute thy sinful designs and courses, and set thine heart upon ● hine iniquity, and say, Thou canst not turn ● rom it? |
A39932 | Would he( think you) invite so many guests, if he knew not before hand, that there is entertainment enough for them all? |
A39932 | Would they be saved in such a way, as if a Block should be lifted from the Earth, and carried up to Heaven? |
A39932 | Would you have God to decree and effect the conversion of all and every one, whether they will or no? |
A39932 | Would you have God to make him unchangeable? |
A39932 | Yea, and presently after th ● Gospel was published, how did Sects arise an ● swarm in every corner of the World? |
A39932 | Yea, and why even of your selves judge ye not what is right? |
A39932 | Yea, do not all men, of what Sort and Sect soever, though never so vile, and vicious, and barbarous, perswade themselves, that their way is good? |
A39932 | Yea, the Devil himself, in all his doings, is within the compass o ● Gods counsel; else what sad work would h ● make in the world? |
A39932 | You can not say, There is no balm in Gilead, there is no Physician there: Why then is not your health recovered? |
A39932 | and are we inclin''d by nature to any thing else? |
A39932 | and do we not thus? |
A39932 | and to this day, how impatient are many of some kinde of Preachers and Preaching? |
A39932 | how long did the Roman Heathen Emperours persecute the Faith of Christ, in the preaching and profession of it? |
A39932 | spen ● and waste all, and come to beggery; can an ● man justly say, the Father did not his part for h ● ● Sons good? |
A39932 | they askt, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned? |
A39932 | what would you have of them? |
A39932 | what would''st thou have? |
A39932 | why thou dost not forsake thy wicked ways? |
A39932 | yea dar''st thou say, he hath not given thee to Repent,& c. when he hath given thee light, to see the errour, and the evil of thy wayes? |
A39932 | yea hath he not waited long for thee? |

A09365 | And to this purpose is the saying of the Prophet Amos, Shall there be euill in the citie, and the Lord hath not done it? |
A09365 | And to this purpose the Prophet Dauid saith, I held my peace and said nothing: why? |
A09365 | And touching this affliction, it is demanded, How any seruant of God, may be able to indure with comfort, the pangs of death? |

A09365 | But may some say, if there be any deformitie in the bodie, may we not labour to couer it? |
A09365 | But some may say then, how can any man be saued, seeing euery man is ignorāt of many things which he ought to know? |

A09365 | For by whose grace haue we alwaies continued in praier, but by the gift and grace of God? |
A09365 | For how can he that loueth not his brother, whome he hath seene, loue God whome he hath not seene? |
A09365 | For men wil often bewray their stiffenes in temptation, and vsually it is long before comfort can be receiued; and why? |
A09365 | For that is his couering onely, and this is his garment for his skin: wherein shal he sleepe? |
A09365 | For what is this, but to finde fault with Gods owne workemanship? |
A09365 | For when he was dying, and the pangs of death seazed vpon him, he cries vnto the Lord, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
A09365 | For who can tell how of ● he offendeth? |
A09365 | For, what haue I doe( saith the Apostle) to iudge those that are without? |

A10659 | If this be all the reward we haue for waiting and calling upon God, to what purpose serve our humiliations and fastings? |
A10659 | If to use thy hands or feete, looke unto them, there are seeds of more sins, theft, bribery, murther, adultery( what not?) |
A10659 | Impatiency from such a man as Ieremie after such revelations from God? |

A10659 | Is every man to be herein a follower of Christ? |
A10659 | Is hee now contrary to himselfe? |
A10659 | Is my flesh of brasse, or my bones of iron, that I should thinke to hold out, and without interruption to enjoy these earthly things? |
A10659 | Is not his fidelitie as firme towards weake and poore, as towards rich beleevers? |
A10659 | Is not my breath in my nostrils, where there is roome enough for it to goe out, and possibility never to come in again? |
A10659 | Is not my obedience mercenarie, but sincere? |

A10659 | Must it not have a being, as long as there is a God who is able to support it? |
A10659 | Now for a word of the third Case, Why every sinne doth not raigne in every wicked man? |
A10659 | Now then I demand, what is that whereby I doe assent unto this proposition( in case it were true) That the Church can not erre? |
A10659 | Now then if wicked workes could not prevent the Love of God, why should wee thinke that they can nullyfie or destroy it? |
A10659 | Now, have not all the faithfull of this unction? |
A10659 | O Hell, where is thy victorie? |
A10659 | O Lord, what a nature and heart had I, that could commit sinne without any 〈 ◊ 〉, without any incentive but from my selfe? |
A10659 | O where is that faith in men which should overcome the world, and the things of the world? |
A10659 | Or how is Faith able to hold mee up under so heavie a guilt? |

A10659 | Saint Paul who triumphed and insulted over all the rest, over the World, o Who shall separate us from the Love of Christ? |
A10659 | Secondly, what a foolish thing it is to be Gods enemies, as every man is that continues in sinne without returning unto him? |
A10659 | Shall I requite evill for good to the hurt of mine owne soule? |
A10659 | Shall I that am reserv''d to such honour, live in the meane time after the lusts of the Gentiles, who have no hope? |
A10659 | Shall tribulation, or distresse, or persecution, or famine, or nakednes, or perill, or sword? |
A10659 | Shall wee admit a doctrine which over- throwes the Law and the Prophets? |
A10659 | Tell me, O thou whom my Soule loveth, where thou lodgest at noone? |
A10659 | That is carefull to redeeme all his pretious time, and to make every houre of his life comfortable and beneficiall to himselfe and others? |
A10659 | That is, How shall I make mine owne Church as the cities of Sodome? |
A10659 | That spares sufficient time to humble himselfe, to studie Gods will, to acquaint himselfe with the Lord, to keepe a constant Communion with his God? |
A10659 | The Israelites were weary of gathering straw, but were the Task- masters weary of exacting it? |

A10659 | The members may be weary of serving their law, but is the law of the members weary of quickning or commanding them? |

A10659 | To drive and compell them; why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as doethe Iewes? |

A10659 | but every one, Is it I? |
A10659 | but yet such is the frowardnesse of our nature that wee are very apt thus to murmur; what is the cure and remedy of this evill affection? |
A10659 | can a man advance a piece of gold or silver into a reasonable, a spirituall, an eternall substance? |
A10659 | did Christ open his wounds, and shall not I open my mouth? |
A10659 | did not God punish Pharaoh with hardnesse of heart, and the gentiles with vile affections? |
A10659 | doth not that worke please him, which he is pleased to reward? |

A10659 | how few langvishing bowels they have refreshed? |
A10659 | how few naked backes they have clothed? |
A10659 | how many hath the greedy desire of wealth powred out into the grave? |
A10659 | how many have beene eaten up by their pleasures? |
A10659 | how much superstition with the worship? |
A10659 | how much vaine- glory in the honour of God? |
A10659 | how wuch security with the feare? |
A10659 | if there bee so much life in my impertinent thoughts, how much rage and fury is there in my rebellious thoughts? |
A10659 | in arrowes of lightning and coales of fire? |
A10659 | in blacknesse and darkenesse? |
A10659 | in one word, How much of my selfe, and therefore how much of my sinne, in all my services and duties which I performe? |
A10659 | in stormes and horrible tempests? |
A10659 | in thick clouds and darke waters? |
A10659 | is there no remedy, nor way of escape? |
A10659 | may not a weake superstruction ofrotten and inconsistent materials bee built upon a sound foundation? |
A10659 | nay that doth not adventure to steale from Gods owne day to speake his owne words, to ripen or set forward his owne or his friends advantages? |

A10659 | so may I say, why should Christians hearts be set upon earthly things, since they have the desires of all flesh to fix upon? |

A42781 | & c. Can such an Heart as thine be the Temple of the Holy Ghost? |
A42781 | ''T is now time to speak to the other Question, which is, Whether and how far Satan knows things to come? |
A42781 | ( When they propound that Question, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?) |
A42781 | ( say they) can he judge through the dark clouds? |
A42781 | ( where the account of that tempting is given)''t is said, because they tempted the Lord, saying, Is the Lord among us or not? |
A42781 | 10. describes him by these neglects of Duty, Will he delight himself in the Almighty? |
A42781 | 41. while some were convinced and said, This is the Christ, others said, shall Christ come out of Galilee? |
A42781 | 9. Who can know it? |
A42781 | A Proud Heart will readily say, our Tongue is our own, or who is the Lord? |
A42781 | A tedious task? |
A42781 | Am I a Sea, or a Whale, that thou settest a Watch over me? |
A42781 | Among the Papists what less can be expected, when the same principle is entertained among them? |
A42781 | And can you think to break away from me so easily? |
A42781 | And then he Queries, Art thou such an one? |
A42781 | And then to what purpose( say they) is Prayer, or any endeavours? |
A42781 | Are not these unreasonable injunctions, Pray continually, Pray without ceasing; Preach in season and out of season? |
A42781 | Art thou not grown stupid, and senseless of all the hazards that are before thee? |
A42781 | Art thou not ready to tax him for dealing thus with thee? |
A42781 | Art thou that Prophet, and that Man ordained to Judg the World? |
A42781 | As David said to the Woman of Tekoah, Is not the hand of Joab with thee in all this? |
A42781 | At what a loss is an unskilful Travellour, where so many wayes meet? |
A42781 | Besides( saith he) thou knowest the secret thoughts that thy Heart is privy to, do they not boyl up in thy Breast against God? |
A42781 | Besides, who can tell how much of God''s restraining grace may ly in this, of God''s limiting and straitning Satan''s Commission? |
A42781 | But Enquiry may be made, When do men run( uncalled and) unwarrantably upon Temptation? |
A42781 | But I have done so, and yet the Temptation is the same, and still continues? |
A42781 | But O how sadly is all this hindered by the disquiet of the Heart? |
A42781 | But how few are there that do thus know? |
A42781 | But how happy would it be for Men, if such failures of expectation might better inform them? |
A42781 | But how is it consistent with Truth that the Temptation should continue, when James tells us, that Satan will fly upon Resistance? |
A42781 | But it will be said, Satan pretends to this Rule, and it is Scripture that is urged by him? |
A42781 | But some( possibly) may say, Is it our Duty to sit still in such a case? |
A42781 | But the great Question is, What is this fear that is forbidden, and the Courage which is enjoined? |
A42781 | But the great difficulty is, how it may be known when Temptations are from Satan, and when from our selves? |
A42781 | But what occasioned all this? |
A42781 | But when we come to an impartial consideration of our manifold weaknesses and insufficiences in reference to these Services, what shall we say? |
A42781 | But who then inflames and stirs up the Heart to this Wickedness? |
A42781 | But you will say, Must all Men be confident of Adoption? |
A42781 | But( it may be further urged) must we when all Means fail, positively Trust in God for those very things which we might expect in an ordinary way? |
A42781 | But( may some say) If I judge such a motion to be a thing lawful, which doth proceed from Satan, What am I to do? |
A42781 | By this means he may widen the distance betwixt God and us, keep our Wounds open, make us a reproach to Religion: And what not? |
A42781 | Can Christ lodg in an Heart so full of horrid Blasphemies against him? |
A42781 | Can God prepare a Table in the Wilderness? |
A42781 | Can the Gifts of Enemies pass for Courtesies and Favours with any, but such as are bewitched into a blockish madness? |
A42781 | Can we reckon how often Satan hath been at this work? |
A42781 | Canst thou deny this? |
A42781 | David resolved, and strenuously endeavoured, to possess his Soul in Serenity and Patience,( for what could be more, than solemn engagement? |
A42781 | Did I not compel Peter to deny his Lord, notwithstanding his solemn profession to the contrary? |
A42781 | Did I not force those that were stronger than you? |
A42781 | Did I not make David number the People? |
A42781 | Did I not overcome him in the matter of Uriah? |
A42781 | Did the Heathen erect Images and Pillars, or keep the Ashes and Shrines of their Daemons? |
A42781 | Did the Heathen expect more particular aids from some of these Daemons in several cases than from others? |
A42781 | Doth he not carry a Design in his Mind for Months and Years against us? |
A42781 | Doth he not come again and again, with often and impudently repeated Importunities? |
A42781 | Eightly, Satan urged some of them in a during provoking way; If thou be the Son of God? |
A42781 | Every Christian should say, shall such an one as I fly? |
A42781 | First, from an Ignorance of the thing it self: how easily may they be Imposed upon, who know not the nature, or the usual Issues of things? |
A42781 | First; Whether Satan knows our Thoughts? |
A42781 | For can it be imagined in good earnest that Satan intends us a real good? |
A42781 | For who can alter his Decree? |
A42781 | For who can easily bear the noise of Satan while he shouts continually into their Ears odious Calumnies, and Blasphemous Indignities against God? |
A42781 | For why should God look upon thee more than another? |
A42781 | God himself owns it as a natural impossibility, Can the Ethiopian change his skin? |
A42781 | God''s question concerning Job, Hast thou considered my Servant Job? |
A42781 | Had the Heathen their Feasts, their Statas ferias to their Daemons? |
A42781 | Had the Heathens their dead Hero''s for Agents''twixt the supream Gods and Men? |
A42781 | Had they any more Holiness than they needed? |
A42781 | Had they their Februalia& Proserpinilia with Torches and Lights? |
A42781 | Hath the Lord forgotten to be Gracious? |
A42781 | Have any of the Rulers, or of the Pharisees believed on him? |
A42781 | Have they been able to rescue themselves? |
A42781 | Have those that have gone before you been able to deliver themselves from me? |
A42781 | He clave the Rock, but can he provide Flesh? |
A42781 | He complains as one utterly forsaken, Why hast thou forsaken me? |
A42781 | He is a jealous God, and will by no means acquit the guilty; Canst thou then with any shew of reason, conclude thy self to be his Child? |
A42781 | His Interrogation, Will the Lord cast off for ever,& c? |
A42781 | How astonishingly doth Spira speak to this purpose? |
A42781 | How canst thou deny this? |
A42781 | How come Men to put on a savage Nature, to act the part of Lions, Leopards, Tigars, if not much worse? |
A42781 | How common is it with them to play tricks with Women troubled with Hysterical Distempers? |
A42781 | How couragiously did they suffer the sharpest Torments? |

A42781 | How doth God know? |
A42781 | How easily he got him to the roof of the house in order to the Object to be presented to him? |
A42781 | How easily then is it for Satan to set our thoughts off our Work? |
A42781 | How easily then may Satan possess the Fancies of Men with Blasphemies? |
A42781 | How fair do they lye open to any conceit that may serve this end? |
A42781 | How fitly doth he resemble us to Children? |
A42781 | How frequently did the Prophets tax the Jews for this, that they fasted to themselves? |
A42781 | How frequently is this seen among Professors, where the Word hath a searching power and force upon them? |

A42781 | How suddenly are all things changed? |
A42781 | How weak and childish are Sinners that suffer themselves thus to be abused? |
A42781 | I said I will look to my ways, and what endeavours could be more severe, than to keep himself as with Bit and Bridle? |
A42781 | I see sin is a strong in me as ever? |
A42781 | If Art can do all this, how much more may we suppose can Satan do? |
A42781 | If Men give way to this, what reason can be imagined to stand before them? |
A42781 | If a Man sets his Face toward Heaven, thus he endeavours to scare him off; Is not( saith he) the way of Religion a dull, melancholy way? |
A42781 | If all these particulars be weighed, what presumptuous act can be propounded by Satan which Pride may not lead to? |
A42781 | If any put that Question to him, which the Jews did to Christ; By what Authority dost thou these things? |
A42781 | If any question, how can these things be? |
A42781 | If any yet further enquire, how he can do these things? |
A42781 | If but few are saved, a thousand to one thou art none of them? |
A42781 | If it be demanded, How and by what Arts he renders the Means so plausible? |
A42781 | If it be questioned, What Satan''s Authority is? |
A42781 | If it was so great a mischief to Eve in Innocency( as hath been said) to delay her peremptory denial, of how much greater hazard is it to us? |
A42781 | If not, where is thy Grace? |
A42781 | If the Shallow Brooks be too strong for us, what shall we do in the swellings of Jordan? |
A42781 | If these Priviledges and Mercies will not discourage Satan, what will? |
A42781 | If thou beest indeed such as he testifyed, give some proof of it? |
A42781 | If we look into our selves we find it true, to our no small trouble and hazard: Doth he at any time easily desist, when we give him a Repulse? |
A42781 | If we slacken our Care never so little they recoyle, and tend to their old Byas; and how easie is it for him to take off our hand? |
A42781 | In Popery nothing hath been more ordinary; who knows not the Story of the Holy Maid of Kent, and the Boy of Bilson? |
A42781 | In other places of the World, how long such things continued, who can tell, especially seeing they were found at Carolina not so very long since? |
A42781 | In the Apostles times, how quickly had the Devil broached false Doctrine? |
A42781 | Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress? |
A42781 | Is it not Satan? |
A42781 | Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to enquire of Baalzebub? |
A42781 | Is it possible it should be Washed and Sanctified, when it produceth such filthy cursed thoughts? |
A42781 | Is not here the Voice of a despairing Man? |
A42781 | Is not this Scripture? |
A42781 | Is not this thy fear, thy Confidence, thy Hope, and the uprightness of thy ways? |
A42781 | Is not thy Heart hardned to everlasting destruction? |
A42781 | Is there any sorrow like to my sorrow? |
A42781 | Is there knowledg in the most High? |
A42781 | It is not a toile? |
A42781 | Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be Reproabates? |
A42781 | Let it( I say) be left to the consideration of Men, how it should be, without some such extraordinary Cause as hath been mentioned? |
A42781 | Lord, why castest thou off my Soul, why hidest thou thy Face from me? |
A42781 | Many such fits David had, and in them, complained at this rate, Why hast thou forsaken me? |
A42781 | My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
A42781 | Nay how impossible is it, to make that expression of the Apostle,[ he was tempted in all points like as we are,] to agree to an imaginary Temptation? |
A42781 | Now, albeit there are arguments at hand, and serious considerations to deter us from practice, yet how are all laid aside by a quick resolve? |
A42781 | O Fiatres adjuvate me, nepeream, nonne vid ● tis Daemonum agmina, qui me debellare,& ad Tartara ducere festinaut, quid hic astas cruenta bestia? |
A42781 | Of the same extract is that old song of the Papists, Where was your Religion before Luther? |
A42781 | Or the Maximum quod sic; the highest degree of sin, consistant with true Grace? |
A42781 | Or, If I have, what is that to you? |
A42781 | Or, what will become of me? |
A42781 | Quis est ille Deus, ut serviam illi? |
A42781 | Satan goes on: What greater evidence can there be of an hardned Heart, than Impenitency? |
A42781 | Secondly, But in things doubtful, where there is not a clear certainly, what is Truth? |
A42781 | Shall we Sin, that Grace may abound? |
A42781 | Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? |
A42781 | Shall we think it strange that Satan hath ways of conveying false apprehensions upon Mens minds? |
A42781 | Sixthly, All this might be futher proved by Instances: What Temptation can be named wherein Satan hath not acted as a Serpent? |
A42781 | So here is also an evident respect to God''s Testimony concerning, Christ, as if he had said, hath God said, thou art his Son? |
A42781 | So may we say, is not the hand of Satan with thee in every Sin thou committest? |
A42781 | So that if Adam in Innocency understood the Nature of Things, how much more exactly and fully must we imagine Satan to know them? |
A42781 | Solomon''s exclamination, a wounded Spirit who can bare? |
A42781 | Some make enquiry what may be the difference betwixt a wounded Spirit, in the Regenerate and the Reprobate? |
A42781 | Some may possibly question, Whether all extraordinary Agonies of Soul, upon the apprehension of eternal Damnation, be not the fruits of Melancholy? |
A42781 | The Devil expresseth a disdain and scorn of our weak opposition, as Goliah did of David, Am I a Dog, that thou comest to me with Staves? |
A42781 | The Devil suggests, Can God be faithful, and never keep Promise for help? |
A42781 | The Heart is deceitful above all things: But why is the deceitfulness fixed upon the Heart? |
A42781 | The Heavens are not clean in his sight, how much more abominable and filthy then art thou? |
A42781 | The Scripture affords enough of this nature, as the Boast of Nebuchadnezzar; Is not this great Babel that I have built? |
A42781 | The Wrath of God expressed to the Conscience, brings the greatest Terrour; Who knows the power of thine Anger? |
A42781 | The acknowledgment of the Witches Power,[ Why hast thou disquieted me?] |
A42781 | Therefore say they unto God, Depart from us, for we desire not the knowledge of thy wayes; who is the Almighty that we should serve him? |
A42781 | These if they meet with Pains or Troubles,( and who can challenge an exemption from them?) |
A42781 | Thirdly; That Malice must needs be great, that will pursue a small matter: what small game will the Devil play, rather than altogether sit out? |
A42781 | This disorder of Thoughts Christ took notice of in his Disciples when they were in danger, Why do thoughts arise in your hearts? |
A42781 | This may put Men upon enquiries, who are ye for? |
A42781 | This was the Voice of Pride in Pharaoh, Who is the Lord, that I should serve him? |
A42781 | Thou canst not mourn enough? |
A42781 | Though I speak, my Grief is not asswaged; and though I forbear, what am I eased? |
A42781 | Thus he pleads it; Can any thing be more plain, than that thou hast eaten and drunken unworthily? |
A42781 | Thus he urgeth it, Can any thing be more plainly and fully asserted? |
A42781 | To come without an Heart, or with our Idols in our Heart, is it any thing of less scorn than to say, Tush, doth the most High see? |
A42781 | To what purpose is the multitude of your Sacrifices? |
A42781 | Upon this supposition, that these Texts speak of wilful sinning in the General; How little can be said against Satan''s Argument? |
A42781 | Upon this the Devil starts the question to his Heart, whether it be not better to forbear all Duty, and to do nothing? |
A42781 | Was he real in that command, that you should not Eat at all,& c. the like he doth to Christ, Is it true? |
A42781 | Was it that Satan thought to prevail against him? |
A42781 | We can scarce imagine what ways he hath to divert and hinder them, by what private discouragements he doth defer them, who can tell? |
A42781 | Were it not better to work with our hands for a Morsel of Bread, for so might our Sleep be sweet to us at Night, and we should not see these sorrows? |
A42781 | Were we free, what Calling would we not rather chuse? |
A42781 | What Songs of rejoycing had they? |
A42781 | What a fit of affection had the Israelites when their Eyes had seen that miraculous deliverance at the Red Sea? |
A42781 | What a stupifaction are our Spirits capable of? |
A42781 | What better have the Familists, and Libertines of New and Old England been? |
A42781 | What can Humility, Modesty, and sense of Guilt, speak in such a case? |
A42781 | What could be more the Devil''s design, and Esau''s satisfaction, than to have had Jacob slain? |
A42781 | What duty is there that is not neglected or defiled? |
A42781 | What expectation could he have to prevail against him, who was Anointed with the Oyl of Gladness above his Fellows? |
A42781 | What fear and jealousie must this produce? |
A42781 | What greater hinderance can there be to Conversion, than Errour? |
A42781 | What grief of heart? |
A42781 | What have I do with thee? |
A42781 | What is Christian Reproof, if it be not rightly suited to season, and opportunity? |
A42781 | What is this untowardness, but desperate obdurateness? |
A42781 | What progress then in this work of delusion might be expected, when they were all removed out of the World? |
A42781 | What rages, outrages, Madnesses, and extravagances have Men run into? |
A42781 | What shall we say of these things? |
A42781 | What shall we say to these things? |
A42781 | What strange answers Spira gave to those that pleaded with him? |
A42781 | What then canst thou think of thy self, but that thou art a damned Wretch? |
A42781 | What traditionary imitations had they of the Creation recorded in the Book of Genesis? |
A42781 | What unspeakable hindrance must this be to Paul? |
A42781 | What was Montanus but an impure wretch? |
A42781 | What were his two companion Prophetesses, Priscilla, and Maximilla, but infamous Adulteresses? |
A42781 | What work do we see in Families when an Errour creeps in among them? |
A42781 | When a stronger than he cometh, who can expect less but that he should be more quiet? |
A42781 | When they sleep, he awakens them with a piercing rebuke, Could ye not watch with me one hour? |
A42781 | When we urge a Divine Prohibition against a Temptation, what can he say in Answer? |
A42781 | Whence came the Doctrine of Purgatory, but from hence? |
A42781 | Where are the Gods of Hamath — that the Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand? |
A42781 | Where speaking, that our unrighteousness did commend the righteousness of God, he falls upon that reply, Why then am I judged as a sinner? |
A42781 | Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? |
A42781 | Whether all distresses of Soul arise from Melancholy? |
A42781 | Which, how apt it is( when fretted with Vexation) to entertain harsh thoughts of God? |
A42781 | While they were in the highest admiration of the kindness, saying, What shall I render to the Lord? |
A42781 | Who can say, he is certainly excluded out of God''s Decree? |
A42781 | Who can suppose less in this matter, than that Satan, having him at advantage, hurried him to this rashness? |
A42781 | Who can understand it truly, but he that feels it? |
A42781 | Who could be more confident than Peter, that he would not deny his Master, whatever others did, and yet how soon did his Heart fail him? |
A42781 | Who could have thought Joash had been so much under Satan''s power, that had observed his ways all the time of Je oiada the Priest? |
A42781 | Who hath wrought all this but Satan? |
A42781 | Who is weak, and I am not weak? |
A42781 | Who reads the story of Hacket, and Coppinger, without detestation of their wicked Practices? |

A42781 | Who shall declare it fully to the Sons of Men, to bring these hidden things to light? |
A42781 | Who suspects not the hand of Satan in this? |
A42781 | Who then is the proper Author of Deceit but he? |
A42781 | Who will neglect a spark upon dry Tinder,( that would not have it consumed) and not instantly put it out? |

A42781 | Why art thou cast down, O my Soul? |
A42781 | Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my Roaring? |
A42781 | Why castest thou off my Soul? |
A42781 | Why castest thou off my Soul? |
A42781 | Why did I not give up the ghost, when I came out of the belly?) |
A42781 | Why died I not from the Womb? |
A42781 | Why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? |
A42781 | Will the Lord cast off for ever? |
A42781 | With what Face or Hope can we expect from God help against these, when we provoke him to leave us to our selves, by indulging our selves in the other? |
A42781 | With what confidence and security will Sin be practised when an Opinion signs a Warrant, and pleads a Justification for it? |
A42781 | Would Wise, Sober, holy Men have said or done such things, if they had not been transported beyond themselves? |
A42781 | Would he continue them long under their sorrows, or take them upon all occasions at his pleasure, or act them to a greater height than ordinary? |
A42781 | Would he terrifie by Fears, or distress by Sadness? |
A42781 | Would it then be fit to give Satan this advantage? |
A42781 | Ye shall know them by their Fruits: Do Men gather Grapes of Thornes, or Figs of Thistles? |
A42781 | You may say, What is there of direction for us in this Case? |
A42781 | You will say, How must we try? |
A42781 | and a condition which will make you a terrour to your selves, and a burthen to others? |
A42781 | and also concludes him to be wicked, Who ever perished being innocent? |
A42781 | and brought forth fruit to themselves? |
A42781 | and by putting out his Power do a thousand things astonishing and wonderful? |
A42781 | and can this be Errour, where there is so much Holiness? |
A42781 | and commits a rape by a malicious violence upon their Imaginations? |
A42781 | and if not, then what may the difference be betwixt those that proceed from Melancholy, and those that are properly the Terrours of Conscience? |
A42781 | and in such cases, what can ordinarily hinder a belief that they hear or see such things? |
A42781 | and such Hatred, Contradictions, Scorns, and Injuries from Enemies? |
A42781 | and that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands? |
A42781 | and the Sabbath, that we may set forth Wheat? |
A42781 | and then''t is easy for the Devil to add, And why do you wait on the Lord any longer? |
A42781 | and to pretend the casting out of Devils, when they have only to deal with a natural Disease? |
A42781 | and where were the righteous cut off? |
A42781 | and wherefore am I thus disquieted with Monsters? |
A42781 | and who knoweth us? |
A42781 | and who shall deliver thee out of my hand? |
A42781 | and why art thou disquieted within me? |
A42781 | and yet what more presumptuous? |
A42781 | are not his Mercies clean gone? |
A42781 | are they all Damned? |
A42781 | can he be merciful when he turns away his ears from the cry of the miserable? |
A42781 | can you be in love with an heart loaden with grief, and perpetual fears almost to distraction? |
A42781 | can you eat Ashes for Bread, and mingle your Drink with Tears? |

A42781 | cur non me carcere, inediâ, squalore consectum liberat? |
A42781 | doest thou think to stand it out against me? |
A42781 | doth not the fear that is in thy heart shew an unwillingness; mayest thou not plead, the evil that I would not do, that do I? |
A42781 | except we also say, that we are only tempted visionarily and not really? |
A42781 | hast thou considered him as thou usest to do? |
A42781 | hast thou not already consented? |
A42781 | hast thou not tasted and seen? |
A42781 | hath God forgotten to be Gracious? |
A42781 | hath he not forgotten to be gracious? |
A42781 | have the Gods of Hamath and Arpad,& c. delivered their Land out of my hand? |
A42781 | have ye mourned to me? |
A42781 | how are pious Persons affrighted to see the Face of their Thoughts made abominably ugly and deformed by these violent and unavoidable Injections? |
A42781 | how can he steal a Temptation upon us with such secresie? |
A42781 | how easily can he make Apparitions, present strange Sights to the Eye, and Voices to the Ear? |
A42781 | how like you to go Mourning all the day, and at night to be scared with Dreams and terrified with Visions? |
A42781 | how sadly afflicting would it be for any Child of God to observe such things in his own Imaginations? |
A42781 | how unawares, while we think of no such thing, are we carried sometime upon the borders of Sin, and into the enemies quarters? |
A42781 | how would nature reluct and abominate the drinking down of noisome pudled Water, or the swallowing of Toads and Serpents? |
A42781 | if thou yield, will not God account it a rape upon thine integrity? |
A42781 | is his Mercy clean gone for ever? |
A42781 | is it not easy for him to convey Voices to the Ear, or shapes and representations to the Eye? |
A42781 | might reap from this, that Christ imagined himself to be tempted, when really he was not so? |
A42781 | no surely, do we not see that the Senses may be cheated, and that the Fancies of Men may be corrupted? |
A42781 | or can it be so as that Voice declared, that thou art the Son of God? |
A42781 | or to admit him so far into our reasoning? |
A42781 | or was he unwilling to part with what he so liberally proffered? |
A42781 | or what it must cost? |
A42781 | or wherein was the Messenger to be blamed? |
A42781 | or whether we did not wander from the beginning? |
A42781 | or, Who gave thee this Authority? |
A42781 | or, are you wiser than your Fathers? |
A42781 | quid proderit si oraverim? |
A42781 | shews indeed what he did once think, being misled by Satan, but withal that he would never do so again, Will the Lord cast off for ever? |
A42781 | si presens est cur non succu ● ris? |
A42781 | that is, is all thy Religion come to this? |
A42781 | that it was a weaning and tyring out the Patience of a long- suffering God; Is it a small thing for you to weary Men, but will you weary my God also? |
A42781 | the great Power of Satan; who can tell the extent of it? |
A42781 | they sin, though with reluctancy, and doest not thou resist? |
A42781 | to what purpose was it made, if it might not be tasted? |
A42781 | what Defiances? |
A42781 | what Fierceness, Prejudices, Slanders, Evil- surmises, Censurings, and Divisions hath this brought forth? |
A42781 | what Sin that is not some way or other committed? |
A42781 | what advantage is it that we have thus run, and laboured, when we have got nothing? |

A42781 | what sad thoughts have they then of themselves? |
A42781 | when all the usual ways of supply fail us, must nothing be attempted? |
A42781 | where are his Promises? |
A42781 | where is his pity when he multiplies his wounds without cause? |
A42781 | wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? |
A42781 | while you see others in the mean time enjoy themselves in a contented peace? |
A42781 | who can imagine the cunning that Satan used with David in the matter of Vriah? |
A42781 | who can stand before such an holy Lord God? |
A42781 | who shall deliver me? |
A42781 | whose Servants are ye? |
A42781 | why doth the Righteous Lord suffer Satan to break open my Heart, and fill me with such fearful Thoughts? |
A42781 | why hidest thou thy Face from me? |
A42781 | will be always call upon God? |
A42781 | will you chuse a Life that is worse than Death? |
A42781 | will you exchange the comforts and contents of Life, for a melancholly Heart, and a dejected countenance? |
A42781 | with what bashfulness and amazedness do we appear at our next Supplications; what blushing, what damps, what apology? |
A42781 | — What dreadful Agonies were these, that put him to these Wishes? |
A77976 | ( I mean the Church- Wardens, as they stiled them) and when you were put to such Oaths, had you never inward regreet in your Consciences? |
A77976 | ( as you have heard) such dreadful evil in the least sin? |
A77976 | 1 How can God that is so infinitly good, have a hand in sin, that have so much evil in it? |
A77976 | 1 You shal find many that come and complain of Sin: who do they complain to? |
A77976 | 16. there God saith, The face of the Lord is against them that do evil: Mark, the face of the Lord: What is Gods face? |
A77976 | 2 If his Prosperitie doth give him further liberty in Sin? |
A77976 | 20. when Elijah met Ahab, Hast thou found me, O my Enemy? |
A77976 | 3 Hence it follows, That all the Creatures in the world were brought under the Dominion of Man to be serviceable unto Man; why? |
A77976 | Abishai the son of Zerviah; Abishai was one of Davids Soldiers, when Shimei cursed David: Shall I go and cut off this dead Dogs neck? |
A77976 | Alas poor man, he might have need of them: How many of you venture upon other manner of things upon the Lords Day, profaning of it? |
A77976 | All my glorious Attributes shall work against you; as if God should say, Is there any thing in me can make you miserable? |
A77976 | And again, another Creature, Swords and Weapons, they have power to gash and wound the Body; whence have these Instruments their power? |
A77976 | And doth not God bring good out of sin? |
A77976 | And he was verie cheerful who made so manie Psalms, and was so Musical as David? |
A77976 | And if Sin be to evil, what an evil case are those men in, who be so full of sin? |
A77976 | And is there not evil in this? |
A77976 | And now you that have heard of the great evil of sin, will you ever open your mouths to deminish and excuse sin? |
A77976 | And so when they spend whole daies in drinking and eating, why? |
A77976 | And that I may bring it more full to your sences, consider this, From whence hath any Creature power to bring evil upon thee, or to torment thee? |
A77976 | And there shall stand up a VILE Person: Now who is this Vile Person that the holy Ghost speaks of? |
A77976 | And therefore if any man or woman be troubled, and say it is for sin, I put this to you; What hath God discovered to you now, more than before? |
A77976 | And to what end? |
A77976 | And what a companie of most miserable wretches have we in this world? |
A77976 | And what is the evil of a Tree? |
A77976 | And who hath made the difference? |
A77976 | And yet, who ever in such anguish and distress for sin as David was? |
A77976 | Are you in Affliction, and to prevent it run to Sin? |
A77976 | As Brethren thus, It doth note the infiniteness of goodness that there is in God, why? |
A77976 | As Christ said to the Pharisees, Who hath forwarned you to fly from the wrath to come? |
A77976 | As a mad man, who casts fire brands, arrows, and death, so is the man that deceaves his neighbor, and saith, Am I not in Sport? |
A77976 | As if the Prophet should say, Oh wretched man that thou art, thou hast gotten possession of the Vinyard, but hast thou killed, and gotten possession? |
A77976 | Brethren, what made the Devil a Devil? |
A77976 | But Christ though he knew it beforehand, yet how dreadful was it to him when it came? |
A77976 | But as the Prophet saith, Doth not my words do you good? |
A77976 | But how doth sin wrong God? |
A77976 | But how doth this appear? |
A77976 | But how is this in every Sin? |
A77976 | But it may be said, Is that Lawful for a man to abstain from sin out of self respects? |
A77976 | But now it was by the Finger of God: well, Christ calls them to him, and said, How can Satan cast out Satan? |
A77976 | But out of what do those worms breed? |
A77976 | But what wil you say if I convince your consciences that this is in your bosoms, that you have been guilty of this sin? |
A77976 | But you will say, This makes all you have done, but a little matter; if Sin may be done away thus, what need all this discovery of the evil of Sin? |
A77976 | But you will say, Why is it not so now, for in the Regenerate, there is the Image of God in part renewed in them, and yet they commit many sins? |
A77976 | Can not you do this as well as others? |
A77976 | Certainly if Sin be all that which you have heard, or read, well might the Holy Ghost say, A wounded spirit, who can bear? |
A77976 | Certainly men in waies of sin never say, Oh Lord, what have I done? |
A77976 | Certainly there is this in sin, for if you account not your waies more equal, why chuse you them? |
A77976 | Christ was in an Agony, in a Combate: Combate, with what? |
A77976 | Do we take delight to have our neighbors, or the family love us? |
A77976 | Do you see men so froward, and outragious, and bloodie? |
A77976 | Dost thou know what thou hast done, in enticing others to sin? |
A77976 | Dost thou laugh at sin? |
A77976 | Dost thou think good will come of this? |
A77976 | Doth he cry for this? |
A77976 | Doth this make them go with a holy boldness to God, and Challenge Gods Promise, because I have committed such and such a sin? |
A77976 | Fear none of these things you shall suffer, behold the Devil shall cast some of you into prison: why? |
A77976 | For what is holiness but grace? |
A77976 | God bad him go and meet Ahab, and say, What hast thou killed, and gotten possession? |
A77976 | God speaking with indignation? |
A77976 | Guilt, what is that? |
A77976 | Hast thou nothing to be merry withal? |
A77976 | Hast thou nothing to rejoyce in but sinning against the Almighty? |
A77976 | Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a Devil? |
A77976 | Hence it follows, that nothing that is good should be ventured for sin, why? |
A77976 | Heretofore yong people when they had daies of Recreation, what did they but multiplie Sin? |
A77976 | How can that be? |
A77976 | How comes it to pass that there is a necessity of such a mysterie of godliness for saving of poor Souls? |
A77976 | How do you know this? |
A77976 | How doth it appear that sin is most opposite to the chiefest good? |
A77976 | How doth this appear? |
A77976 | How doth this appear? |
A77976 | How doth this appear? |
A77976 | How many men and women in the world for trifles and toyes, suffer shipwrack of a good Conscience? |
A77976 | How the Delivering up to Satan, can be for the saving the Soul? |
A77976 | How will that appear you will say? |
A77976 | How will this follow( will you say) that the Rational part is not ordered by the Sensitive? |
A77976 | I beseech you observe this; Take heed for ever of reasoning with Temptation, of consulting and casting about in your thoughts, what will become of it? |
A77976 | I but it may be you will say it doth not s ● cross mans happiness, but that he may come to be happie for all sin? |
A77976 | I have gotten money, and what to do? |
A77976 | I have heard in such a Point, and out of such a Text, how Sin makes against God, strikes at him, wrongs him, How shall I do this and sin against God? |
A77976 | I pray, what work do they tire themselves withal that needs so much recreation? |
A77976 | I put it to your conscience every sinful man or woman; think how hast thou lived? |
A77976 | I put it to your souls this day as in the name of God, what is it that thy heart is set upon as thy chiefest Good? |
A77976 | I remember Origen upon that Text hath this note; Will you hear the terrible voice of God? |
A77976 | If a man come and complain, Oh this wretched heart of mine, and pray help me against it; how can you tell it is for Affliction and not for sin? |
A77976 | If so, do thou never admit of it; if it be a sin, abhorre it: let this temptation never prevail with thee; What? |
A77976 | If the shoulders of a Porter be sore, and all the Skin off, and a boyl upon his shoulder, how grievous would the burden be then? |
A77976 | If there be such evil in Sin, Then it is of great use to begin to be Godlie and Religious betimes, for yong ones to come to be godlie betimes: why? |
A77976 | If thou know it to be poison, and strong poison, what a madnesse were it in thee, to drink a ● ● ll draught only because''t is sweet? |
A77976 | If thou shouldest see a Company of men stab and murder themselves, and lying dead in the streets, if it should be asked how came they dead? |
A77976 | If you walk contrary to me, I will walk contrary unto you: What is that? |
A77976 | Is it a Sin? |
A77976 | Is my strength the strength of stones? |
A77976 | Is there all this evil( that I have spoken of) in the nature of Sin? |
A77976 | Is there anie soul, that by all I have said, of the Evil of Sin, finds it self stung with the poison of Sin? |
A77976 | Is there any evil in a City and the Lord hath not done it? |
A77976 | Is there any house in your parish where there is Blaspheming, and Oaths, and railing at goodness, and Sabbath breaking, and such things? |
A77976 | Is this a light or little matter? |
A77976 | It is a horrible thing thus to abuse mercie: how doest thou think the mercie of God should plead for thee when thou doest it such infinite wrong? |
A77976 | It may be many of you are apt to say, We know God, what need we have so much of God Preached? |
A77976 | It was the Complaint of the Prophet Jeremiah, No man saith, What have I done? |
A77976 | Know this day God presents to thy soul the desperate delusions of it, what? |
A77976 | Lord, why castest thou off m ● soul? |
A77976 | No, wil you say, Can not God bring good out of sin? |
A77976 | Now how comes it to pass that the Martyrs did bear them with such joy, and Christ the Captain of them all falls to the Earth, and cries out so? |
A77976 | Now if the Image of God be such a glorious thing as it is, then what would you say of that which doth deface this Image? |
A77976 | Now is it not more if that thou hast a wicked Child, one out of thy Bowels that strikes at God, and is a Traitor to the God of Heaven? |
A77976 | Now that you may convince them, that it is conscience, and not stubbornness, how shall this be known, that it is consciousness, and not stubbornness? |
A77976 | Now then, what if both these Evils come together, and concur both together to make a man miserable? |
A77976 | Now this I endeavor, if possible, to make a stop in sinful waies; that you might consider, Oh Lord, where am I? |
A77976 | Now what is the evil of Sin, when it is so weightie, that it makes the whol frame of Heaven and Earth to groan to bear the burden of it? |
A77976 | Now, what breeds this worm, and supplies it with matter? |
A77976 | Oh Lord, what a condition are those in( I say) that are guilty of an infinite number of sins? |
A77976 | Oh is it thus with you? |
A77976 | Oh saith some, what a hard heart have I? |
A77976 | Oh what dost thou think of God? |
A77976 | Oh what have I done against God? |
A77976 | Oh when( I put it to thee in the Name of the Lord) in all thy life didst thou shed one tear for the sins of those among whom you live? |
A77976 | Shall he wrong me? |
A77976 | Sinner, Man or woman doest thou know God, that infinite glorious eternal God, with whom thou hast to do? |
A77976 | So God will say, Why? |
A77976 | So a Blasphemer may be said to be guilty of all the blasphemies in the world; why? |
A77976 | So he saith concerning Shimei, Let me go over I pray thee, and take off his head; why should this dead Dog curse my Lord? |
A77976 | So may I say to anie wicked man or woman in the world that hath got by waies of sin; What hast thou sinned, and gotten possession? |
A77976 | So may I say unto those who have such woful guilt of sin upon them; What is thy strength the strength of stones, and thy flesh of brass? |
A77976 | So one Disease hath power to torment one way, and another, another way; whence hath any Disease power to torment? |
A77976 | So that it appears, he was in his power to possess him, but yet he did not; and what is the reason? |
A77976 | So when poor souls cry to heaven for Christ, God may say to the poor soul, Why? |
A77976 | So you dislike sin, and Oh you would not commit it; but this is the Question, Whether your dislike or hatred be Natural or Supernatural? |
A77976 | Some go to evil wicked company, and when they spend their times in drinking; Plead, Why? |
A77976 | Some sin or other, did you not strain your Conscience in that benefit you have got? |
A77976 | Such a secret lust thou livest in? |
A77976 | Suppose in your company, in the midst of your mirth, one takes a knife and stabs himself into the heart; would not this damp your joy? |
A77976 | That God must be Man? |
A77976 | That God must be manifested in the flesh? |
A77976 | That is wronged especiallie: Why? |
A77976 | The Mercie of God, doest thou think that shall plead for thee? |
A77976 | There are manie converted when they were old, and what would these give for to be delivered from the guilt of some sins committed when they were yong? |
A77976 | Therefore God in Scripture reasons the Case with his People, What are not my waies equal, are not your waies unequal? |
A77976 | Therefore if any soul shal go away and say, Wo to me what have I done? |
A77976 | Therefore let me abide here; tell me Oh Sinner what is it thou gettest in waies of sin that thou wilt dwel here? |
A77976 | Therfore this is a vain plea that men have, what kind of* Government must we have if this be taken away? |
A77976 | Think thus, suppose God should have no more glorie by all the world, than by me, to what end were the world made? |
A77976 | Thou abstainest from sin, what is the reason? |
A77976 | Was that then that was good made death to me? |
A77976 | Well, but was there no apparent wickednesse committed in your companie? |
A77976 | Well, but what is the reason of this Mysterie of godliness? |
A77976 | Well, who was this Heman? |
A77976 | Well, you have gotten Estates, Preferments, Honors, be it what it will in the world; but what did it cost you? |
A77976 | Were it not better to be under any Affliction than under the guilt of Sin, if there be in it such opposition to God? |
A77976 | What Truths of God hath God setled upon their hearts more than before? |
A77976 | What a contrariety to God, and the Nature of God? |
A77976 | What a difference is there between thy heart, and the heart of the Martyrs? |
A77976 | What a wrong is this to the Holy Ghost? |
A77976 | What can be said be more of affliction? |
A77976 | What daring of the blessed God? |
A77976 | What do you mean( will you say) by this Spiritual Restitution? |
A77976 | What do you think now of trouble of Conscience for sin? |
A77976 | What dost thou think of thy sins now? |
A77976 | What hast thou done Oh Man or Woman; that hast vetured the loss of all good for that which hath no good at all, nay all evil in it? |
A77976 | What is that worm that shall never dye? |
A77976 | What is the folly of yong people? |
A77976 | What is the reason men and women give up their souls to sin, to lasciviousness and wantonness with greediness? |
A77976 | What is the reason of this? |
A77976 | What profit, or what fruit had you in those things whereof you be now ashamed? |
A77976 | What say you now? |
A77976 | What shal the Authoritie of man put weight upon smal things, and not the Authoritie of the Almightie put weight in small things? |
A77976 | What strange Doctrine is this? |
A77976 | What then did the flame of Gods wrath that was let out upon the soul of Jesus Christ? |
A77976 | What think you of the Lord Christ himself in his Agony? |
A77976 | What was this concerning which God had spoken, that he would shew his great power in? |
A77976 | What wilt thou have me to do? |
A77976 | What, doest thou know God, man or woman? |
A77976 | What? |
A77976 | What? |
A77976 | What? |
A77976 | When Christ would humble Sauls heart, what doth he do? |
A77976 | When men have got any thing in possession, they usually reckon, I but, what did this cost me? |
A77976 | Wherefore yet let me labor with your souls; who knows whether anie of you shall hear me preach anie one Sermon more? |
A77976 | Who art thou Lord? |
A77976 | Who be these that ventured their lives? |
A77976 | Who be those two Zebulon and Naphtali that were full of courage and zeal, when others were- full of Pleas and would not venture their lives? |
A77976 | Who is there but is guilty of resisting the motions of the Holy Ghost? |
A77976 | Who would acknowledg in the way of sin they despise God? |
A77976 | Why abodest thou among the Sheep- folds to hear the bleatings of the ● locks? |
A77976 | Why can not man be saved by any Savior but such a one as must be verily and truly God and man? |
A77976 | Why doth Christ speak of this, how comes it in? |
A77976 | Why hidest thou thy face from me? |
A77976 | Why persecutest thou Me? |
A77976 | Why what doth it do? |
A77976 | Why( might Saul say) Lord, have mercy upon me, is this such rebellion? |
A77976 | Why? |
A77976 | Why? |
A77976 | Why? |
A77976 | Why? |
A77976 | Why? |
A77976 | Why? |
A77976 | Will you venture to commit sin for a groat or six pence, if there be so much opposition against God in it? |
A77976 | Wilt thou break thy bounds in sinful waies to get out of affliction? |
A77976 | Would you fain break your hearts for sin? |
A77976 | Yea, now will God say here is somewhat done, when sinners cries come up to heaven; what hath been doing in this Congregation? |
A77976 | You make Conscience of Superstition because sinful, and is not this Sin, as well as that? |
A77976 | You will say, How can the delivering up to Santan be for the saving of the soul? |
A77976 | and dost thou not account more the hazard of thy own soul? |
A77976 | and how miserable is their condition, in that regard; who have given up themselves to follow Sin with greediness? |
A77976 | and is this my way? |
A77976 | and it should be answered every one of them murthered himself; were it not an object of pity? |
A77976 | and my flesh of Brass? |
A77976 | and not to keep his Commandements, but goest on in waies of sin? |
A77976 | and so much ado? |
A77976 | and such a womans Womb? |
A77976 | and the soul of thy brother? |
A77976 | and the strength of their Souls in serving God, that they need so much refreshing? |
A77976 | and the tortures so sore? |
A77976 | and was not I then charged as in the Name of God, and as ever I expected God should hear my crie in such a time, that I should hear his voyce? |
A77976 | and what hurt hath God done to thee that thou shouldest be so malicious against him? |
A77976 | and what if I were now to stand before God? |
A77976 | and whether am I a going? |
A77976 | and who is there almost but makes the mercy of God in some degree or other Serviceable to his lusts? |
A77976 | and yet how ordinarie is this in the world? |
A77976 | and yet will he have such thoughts of mercy, as to send his own Son to make up that wrong, and satisfie for the evil I have done? |
A77976 | are not your hearts more hard than before? |
A77976 | are you not more greedy upon Sin than before? |
A77976 | art thou happie in the enjoyment of this? |
A77976 | as if he had said, Lord, I did not think I had to deal with thee, who art thou Lord? |
A77976 | because poison is sweet, and comes to be suitable because of the sweetnesse? |
A77976 | but little or nothing for my sin; Oh what shall become of this heart of mine? |
A77976 | but, How shall I do this and sin against God? |
A77976 | cozened and cheated, and gotten possession? |
A77976 | did not David commit Adultery& Sin, that was a man according to Gods own heart? |
A77976 | do not I everie day, nay every hour almost in the street, see hundreds of people, I would be loth to change conditions withal? |
A77976 | do not many live in high esteem in the World by sinfull courses? |
A77976 | do not you account your selves wronged when he dares set his will before yours? |
A77976 | do they make for the good of the bodie? |
A77976 | do you reckon this a good voyage? |
A77976 | dost thou think this was the only end? |
A77976 | doth not God make my condition a thousand times better than many hundreds that live neer to me? |
A77976 | for the sins of thy Familie? |
A77976 | for we can not see into your consciences? |
A77976 | hast thou gotten out of prison by sin? |
A77976 | hath he not made all Creatures for his glory? |
A77976 | hath time worn it away? |
A77976 | have your hearts troubled in such a manner as you may give glorie to God? |
A77976 | he broke his Conscience, what is the matter? |
A77976 | he comes and saith, Saul, Saul, Why persecutest thou me? |
A77976 | he will be drunk, and unclean, and break the Sabbath, and who dares controule and speak to him? |
A77976 | heretofore your hearts were never stirred after Christ, what is the matter? |
A77976 | how can Christ be rightly lifted up and advanced in our souls without a right sight and sence of sin? |
A77976 | how durst they sit so stupidly under the powerful awaking means of Grace? |
A77976 | how else could such vile thoughts be cherish''d, and such cursed practises and principles maintained? |
A77976 | how else durst men chule sin rather than affliction when they are brought into streights? |
A77976 | how manie in woful straits and extremities, for the Bodie? |
A77976 | how otherwise are men more afraid of open shame than of secret sins? |
A77976 | how sweet, and precious, and dear will Christ be to such a Soul? |
A77976 | in all that ever they did in all their lives, yea, their best actions; how full of sin be those? |
A77976 | in one sin? |
A77976 | is it anie way likelie and probable, but that I must follow, when as they be there for the sins I brought them to? |
A77976 | is it not that height of wickedness that I speak of? |
A77976 | is it only to eat and drink, and the like? |
A77976 | is not God a merciful God? |
A77976 | is not God infinitely worthy of all glory and honor in the world? |
A77976 | is one spark of the wrath of God upon the soul so terrible? |
A77976 | is that from grace? |
A77976 | is the Devil come to be a Pursevant, or an Officer, or to give Warrants to cast into prison? |
A77976 | it is not so great an evil, if it may be thus wash''t away? |
A77976 | look back to thy former life, and think how hast thou spent it? |
A77976 | lyed, and gotten possession? |
A77976 | made another drunk and laughed at it? |
A77976 | meerly at his will? |
A77976 | nay, for the dog to love us? |
A77976 | never an oath sworn? |
A77976 | no excess in the Creature in drinking? |
A77976 | no mervail though the Devil himself be called the god of this World; why? |
A77976 | no ribaldry talking? |
A77976 | none but Christ, none but Christ; what would become of all your souls, if it were not for Jesus Christ? |
A77976 | not, How shal I do this great wickedness, and bring danger and miserie upon me? |
A77976 | or a side wind? |
A77976 | or made some others commit sin and laugh at it? |
A77976 | or not half so much filled as they are, when they carrie you upon the rocks and sands? |
A77976 | rejoyce at sin? |
A77976 | shall I cut off his head? |
A77976 | shall I go and send him down to his own place? |
A77976 | shall sin be so great a burden to Christ, and wilt thou be so merry under it? |
A77976 | shall they be in ▪ Hell for the sins I brought them to, and shall I escape? |
A77976 | such a Sermon, and such apprehensions of such a truth, darted into you mightily, and troubled you; you had such troubles, but what hath cured you? |
A77976 | than of thy Goods? |
A77976 | that by it all these Truths are over ballanced? |
A77976 | that ever he lived in that Familie where thou livedst? |
A77976 | that must have every one of these Particulars made good to the full? |
A77976 | that sweat drops of water and blood, which you see was the fruit of Sin? |
A77976 | that thou canst bear the weight and burden of so many, and such horrible transgressions as thou hast been guiltie of? |
A77976 | that thou venturest thy eternal estate upon? |
A77976 | that thou wilt dishonor him, and strike at him? |
A77976 | they do but rejoice in the use of the Creature; and may they not keep Companie with such men that be honest men? |
A77976 | they must have recreation? |
A77976 | they were once glorious Angels, more glorious Creatures than men and women, but what is it that should make them devils now? |
A77976 | to be unfaithful, and stubborn, and stout; if you make Conscience of one sin, why not of another? |
A77976 | to satisfie them to the full? |
A77976 | to stop or turn in the waies of Sin? |
A77976 | to what purpose had the world been made? |
A77976 | was that melancholly? |
A77976 | was there not a loud crie in my Ears and Conscience, as from God, that I should stop in my sinful waies and courses? |
A77976 | was this Gods end? |
A77976 | what a difference between the Nature of God and thee? |
A77976 | what a wretched Creature should I be if ever this corrupt heart of mine should prevail against me? |
A77976 | what abundance of wickedness was committed by Youth then? |
A77976 | what am I a doing? |
A77976 | what good is in this? |
A77976 | what hast thou done in all thy life? |
A77976 | what hath my life been against that infinite, glorious, eternal first- Being of all things? |
A77976 | what is God, if not better than a base lust? |
A77976 | what is it the world hath to draw thy heart from the strength of all these Truths delivered in these Sermons? |
A77976 | what is the matter you come crying for Christ? |
A77976 | what is the matter? |
A77976 | what is the matter? |
A77976 | what is the matter? |
A77976 | what is this? |
A77976 | what need so much preaching? |
A77976 | what scorning and contemning of his Word and Sacraments and Ordinances? |
A77976 | what service do they do for God wherein they spend their Spirits? |
A77976 | what shall I do with this heart of mine, thus hardened from the fear of the Lord? |
A77976 | what shall the Accessarie be condemned and executed, and shal not the Principal? |
A77976 | what shall then become of my soul, if ever I come to answer for my sin my self? |
A77976 | what trouble may come by this if I hearken not to this? |
A77976 | what was it for no other end but that men and women might live and eat and drink, and lye, and swear, and commit such wickedness? |
A77976 | what was the effect of that glory Christ gave to the Saints? |
A77976 | what will become of me? |
A77976 | what? |
A77976 | whether art thou going? |
A77976 | whether ever God will call after you any more? |
A77976 | whether ever you shall hear the Word more? |
A77976 | who can pitie them that die eternally, when as they love death? |
A77976 | who hath put a difference between you and them? |
A77976 | who hath told thee any thing? |
A77976 | who hath told you anie thing? |
A77976 | who told you this? |
A77976 | why cry you more than before? |
A77976 | why should all the blood shed from Abel to that time, come upon that Generation? |
A77976 | why stir you so? |
A77976 | why wilt thou die? |
A77976 | wil sin bring confusion upon the whol Creation? |
A77976 | will you not do this, you may do worse? |
A77976 | wilt thou lose God, Heaven, and Christ, and al for that which hath no good? |
A77976 | with what a Spirit of magnanimitie did they come to their sufferings? |
A77976 | with whom? |
A77976 | would not all your joy be gone? |
A77976 | would you goon in your mirth still? |
A77976 | would you have the Son merrie, when the companie imbrue their hands in his Fathers blood? |
A77976 | would you not rather have a half wind? |
A77976 | would you not rather have your sails down? |
A77976 | wouldst not thou say it is time for me to be gone now? |
A77976 | you had such and such thoughts of it heretofore, what be your thoughts of it now? |
A77976 | you have it? |
A59685 | & c. Peter said, Repent that you may receive remission of sinnes; now what followes? |
A59685 | & is not this a great priviledge? |
A59685 | ( saith the soule) t is mercy which I have continually resisted, desperately despised; why doe you perswade me to beleeve? |
A59685 | 13. came to nothing in their growth of seeming faith and sanctification; was the fault in the seed? |
A59685 | 15. extenuate his sin to Samuel? |
A59685 | 23. which is rebellion, and as the sinne of witchcraft; and is that a small matter? |
A59685 | 32.1, 2, 3, 4. what was the rejoycing of Paul? |
A59685 | 7. a promise given that Syria should not prevaile against Iudah: they doubted of this, how doth the Lord seek to assure them? |
A59685 | 8.15, 16. and what are we the better for this Spirit? |
A59685 | 9.1, 2. what said he? |
A59685 | 90. Who knowes the greatnesse of his wrath? |
A59685 | A filthy lust, a base harlot hath had thy whole heart, and dost thou think the Lord Christ will have it divided? |
A59685 | A man will not bee afraid of a Lyon when it is painted only upon the wall, why? |
A59685 | A wounded spirit who can beare? |
A59685 | And doe you think the Lord will in the light of conviction imprison it up in the mind? |
A59685 | And dost thou thinke thou shalt seek to the Lord by his owne hand to create faith and fetch thee in, and will not the Lord take his time to work it? |
A59685 | And hence are those many complaints, What have I to do with Christ? |
A59685 | And hence questions, Can the Lord pardon such a wretch as I, whose sinnes are so great? |
A59685 | And hence the soule can not but come, and when t is come it can not depart, like Peter, Lord, whither should we goe? |
A59685 | And hence the soule in lying downe, rising up, lyes downe and rises up with perplexed thoughts, What will become of me? |
A59685 | And if so, can any man imagine that this newes will be sweet, unlesse men see and feele the infinite misery of sin, and the fruits of it? |
A59685 | And is not this matter of great consolation to all those who feele themselves utterly unable to beleeve? |
A59685 | And is this the worst the Lord aimes at, and will you not be thankfull? |
A59685 | And shall not this bring you home? |
A59685 | Are not we loved with the same love as he hath loved Christ? |
A59685 | Are the Scriptures his Word? |
A59685 | Are we troubled with too many wounded consciences in these times, that we are so solicitous of coyning new principles of peace? |
A59685 | As a man in great want of bread, one comes and freely offers him bread to preserve his life, the man takes it; if you aske him, Why doe you take it? |
A59685 | As for example: dost want any temporall blessing? |
A59685 | As when we have a great gift to bestow, and we ask a poor man to whom we intend to give it, whether he wil accept of it or no? |
A59685 | Ask them, Have you any grace, change of heart,& c.? |
A59685 | Away proud begger, dost think to be lord of what I have? |
A59685 | Because of the glory of Christ, that the Father may be glorifyed in the Son: can not Christ be glorifyed unlesse he heare all prayers? |
A59685 | But how shall I know when the whole soule comes to Christ? |
A59685 | But how should this be done? |
A59685 | But how? |
A59685 | But if you aske, What is that sense of sin, and what measure of this is necessary? |
A59685 | But is there any beleevers heart so knit unto Christ, but that there is a heart also after other vanities? |
A59685 | But is this our life, in these evill and luke- warme times? |
A59685 | But what evill in sinne doth the Spirit morally affect the heart with, and so physically turne it from sinne? |
A59685 | But what have I to doe to come, that am so poore, and empty, and full of woes, and wants, and sinnes? |
A59685 | But what word might some say is this? |
A59685 | But why hath the Lord made thee feele thy inability to beleeve? |
A59685 | But you will say, Can this glory be thus great? |
A59685 | But you will say, Did not many come to Christ that were never saved by him? |
A59685 | But you will say, Doe not many mens soules come, are not many mens hearts moving towards Christ, and yet excluded from Christ? |
A59685 | But you will say, How should we come to him? |
A59685 | But you will say, In what measure doth the Spirit communicate this light? |
A59685 | But you will say, What is that evill the soule sees at this time in sinne, that thus affects the heart with it, as the greatest evill? |
A59685 | But you will say, What is this compunction, and wherein doth it consist? |
A59685 | But you will say, Wherein should I expresse this humiliation and subjection? |
A59685 | But you will say, how doth the Lord thus convince sin, and wherein is it exprest? |
A59685 | But you will say, what is that sin which the Lord first convinceth of? |
A59685 | By the whole you are not to understand such as have no need indeed of Christ( for what sinner but hath need of him?) |
A59685 | By this you have continuall righteousnesse; what dost thou complaine of dayly? |
A59685 | By what meanes doth the Lord worke this? |
A59685 | Can any man have eternall life, that not only hath not the benefits flowing from the Sonne, but that wants the Son himselfe? |
A59685 | Can it stand with his honour to put up so much wrong? |
A59685 | Can sin condemn? |
A59685 | Can the Spirit make the one cleare to you, and not the other? |
A59685 | Can this be so? |
A59685 | Christ hath the tongue of the learned given him to speak a word in season; Unto whom? |
A59685 | Christ is made righteousnesse and sanctification, unto whom? |
A59685 | Christ shed his blood to save his people from their sins, thou livest yet in thy sins, did hee ever shed his blood for thee? |
A59685 | Consider why the Lord calls thee, is it because hee hath any need of you to honour him? |
A59685 | Consider, who it is that doth call you; is it Man or Ministers think you? |
A59685 | Cry, saith the Lord; what should I cry? |
A59685 | David professeth, his teares were his meat day and night, verse 3. and his heart was wofully sunke and fallen, yet what doth hee? |
A59685 | Did not one sinne cast them out of favour utterly? |
A59685 | Did not the Lord make him heare the voyce of joy by Nathan? |
A59685 | Did the Lord ever shew mercy or favour to the Angels that sinned? |
A59685 | Doe? |
A59685 | Dost thou think that Christ should ever wipe off thy teares that sheddest none at all? |
A59685 | Dost thou think therefore, that there is spirituall life where ever there is any sense? |
A59685 | Dost thou thirst after Christ? |
A59685 | Doth he say he feeles his sinnes now all removed? |
A59685 | Doth it not grieve you that you can not glorifie God in your times and places? |
A59685 | Doth it not imply a contradiction, to be turned toward sinne,( which is ever from Christ) and yet to be turned toward Christ together? |
A59685 | Doth not God pick out the poore and vile things of the world, to be vessels of glory? |
A59685 | Doth the Lord require no more of me, but to come? |
A59685 | For how is it possible to be turned unto Christ, and yet then also to be turned to sinne and Satan? |
A59685 | For what is the end of conviction? |
A59685 | For what was the ground on which those 3000 beleeved? |
A59685 | Fourthly, what is that measure of compunction the Lord workes in all the elect? |
A59685 | Hath the Lord said absolutely that he is yours? |
A59685 | Have not you great cause of abundant thankfulnesse, into whose hearts the Lord hath let in feares and sorrowes, concerning your estates? |
A59685 | How can they beleeve without a Preacher? |
A59685 | How is that? |
A59685 | How many bee there that beleeve in Christ, that they may live as they list? |
A59685 | How shall a Christian therefore live by Faith? |
A59685 | How, and where should my soule come to Christ, who is now absent from me? |
A59685 | However, conviction is a work of the Spirit, though it should be but common; and wilt not be thankfull for common mercy, suppose it be but outward? |
A59685 | I am afraid my faith hath been rather presumption, a work of my owne power, then faith wrought by the Spirits power; how may I discerne that? |
A59685 | I am the man, my conscience now teares me and tells me so, what will become of me? |
A59685 | I have kept thy Commandements, and I love them exceedingly; should he not have said first, I have loved thy Commandements, and so have kept them? |
A59685 | I have oft wondred, if Christ hath borne all our miseries and suffered death for us, why then should we feel any miseries or see death any more? |
A59685 | I long to see thee, saith David, for thy loving kindnesse is better then life; is it possible for a man not to cleave to his life? |
A59685 | I pray you what is this worke? |
A59685 | I say so too; but how would you have the Spirit of Christ enable you to come? |
A59685 | IF the Question be, What is that happy condition they are made partakers of? |
A59685 | If it be here demanded, What are those particular sins which the Lord convinceth men of? |
A59685 | If our soules were in the third heaven with Christ, who of us would then doubt of our portion in him? |
A59685 | If therefore the soules of all the elect feel a want of both, doth not Faith come to Christ for both? |
A59685 | If we aske Peter the question, to what end the Lord hath called us out of darknesse into his marvelous light? |
A59685 | If you aske Moses, after all the love and kindnesse the Lord had shewne Israel, what Israel should doe for him? |
A59685 | If you aske Paul( as Evangelicall a Christian as ever lived) what now we are to do when we are in Christ? |
A59685 | If you can have Christ, and be ambitious too, take him; but how can you beleeve till the Lord hath broken you off from thence? |
A59685 | If you further aske, How the Spirit works this loosening from sinne in the work of compunction? |
A59685 | If you here aske, how the Lord makes sin reall? |
A59685 | In doing much for him, and that willingly; did not Jacob love Rachel? |
A59685 | In speaking and commending of him: is it possible that any man should love another and not commend him, not speak of him? |
A59685 | In the time of affliction( which is usually the time of conviction of a wild unruly sinner) he shews them their transgressions, but how? |
A59685 | Is it not because the Lord will have it so? |
A59685 | Is it not some boldnesse to sinne; that they walke not in feare, and therefore not in the consolation of the Holy Ghost? |
A59685 | Is it not some decay or guile here? |
A59685 | Is it not the internall word of the Spirit onely? |
A59685 | Is it not their secret dalliance with some known sinne, continued in with secret impenitencie? |
A59685 | Is it that this knowledge should like froth float in the understanding, and be imprisoned there? |
A59685 | Is it thus with thee? |
A59685 | Is not Christ, that good, the tearme to which the soule is firstly called? |
A59685 | Is not sanctification the writing of the Law in our hearts, a speciall benefit of the covenant of grace as well as justification? |
A59685 | Is not sense of wants one main thing? |
A59685 | Is not sin and world, that evill, the t ● arme from which the soule is called? |
A59685 | Is not the act of beleeving wrought by a creating power? |
A59685 | Is not the torment and shame of the Reprobates to be exceeding great and grievous? |
A59685 | It is God that justifies, who shall condemne? |
A59685 | It is said, Christ will send the Comforter to convince of sinne; is it a comfortable thing to see sin? |
A59685 | It is true, we may see Gods favour and love to us in the cause as well as in the effects of sanctification; but what is that cause? |
A59685 | It may be you will say, If I felt my sinne, and were deeply humbled for it, I could then be thankfull that ever I saw it; what is it to see sin? |
A59685 | It shall be a glorious body, it shall rise in honour, saith Paul; and what glory shall it have? |
A59685 | Iust as it is with the loadstone drawing the iron, who would think that iron should be drawn by it? |
A59685 | Just so it is in Faith; Aske an humbled sinner, Why doe you beleeve? |
A59685 | Labour not for the meat that perisheth, what should be the end of their labour then? |
A59685 | Lord, Whither should we goe? |
A59685 | Many aske, how should I come to Christ, seeing that I have no promise belonging to me? |
A59685 | Many have been nibling lately at this doctrine, and demand, What need is there of sorrow and compunction of heart? |
A59685 | May not the consideration of this be of great consolation to those that want assurance, and therefore thinke they have no faith? |
A59685 | Men and brethren, what shall we doe to be saued? |
A59685 | Mine iniquities are too heavy to beare: Why so? |
A59685 | Nay how many be there that mourne out their mournings, confesse out their confessions, and by their owne humiliations grow more senselesse afterward? |
A59685 | Nay let me fall one degree lower, if the soule can not come to Christ,( as who feel not themselves unable when the Lord comes to draw?) |
A59685 | Nay, suppose the Spirit works any good in thee, yet is it not polluted by thy unclean heart? |
A59685 | No man can come to me, unlesse the Father draw him; and how doth the Father draw any man, but by this call? |
A59685 | Nothing is so vile as Christ to a man unhumbled, and can you so easily prize him, and taste him, without any casting downe? |
A59685 | Now the comming of the soule to Christ, what is it but faith? |
A59685 | Now the soule is glad to enquire of the Minister, Oh tell me, what shall I do? |
A59685 | Of exhortation; Labour for this sense of misery, this spirit of compunction: how can you beleeve in Christ, that feel not your misery without him? |
A59685 | Oh Ierusalem wilt thou not be made cleane? |
A59685 | Oh beloved its a sad thing to heare such questions and such cold answers, also that sanctification possibly may be an evidence; may be? |
A59685 | Oh beloved, what is the reason that many a mans faith doth him no good, derives no life, spirit, blood, efficacy, peace, power from the Lord Jesus? |
A59685 | Oh consider of this, many of you know that you are sinfull, and that you shall dye; but dost thou know what sin is, and what it is to dye? |
A59685 | Oh it is infinite love that he hath called thee aside and dealt plainly and secretly with thee, and will you not be thankfull for this? |
A59685 | Oh what a priviledge is this? |
A59685 | Oh you that live under precious meanes, and have many feares, you may perish and be deceived at the last; But why doe you feare? |
A59685 | Samuel for a time could not convince them of their sin, herein, what doth the Lord doe? |
A59685 | Shall not our glory be to s ● t out the glory of Christ? |
A59685 | So I may say, who knowes the greatnesse of this favour and love? |
A59685 | So much compunction or sense of sinne is necessary as attaines the end of it: now what is the end of it? |
A59685 | Solomon took great content in women, but what saith he when the Lord humbled him? |
A59685 | Sometimes it questions, Can God forgive sinnes so great? |
A59685 | Sometimes strange temptations, hellish blasphemies, Is there a God? |
A59685 | Suppose a begger murmur at thy doore, if thou dost deny him bread, or a cup of drink, wilt thou not account him a proud stout begger? |
A59685 | Suppose that divers bookes, and many Ministers sometimes give false signes of grace and Gods favour, yet doth the Scriptures give any? |
A59685 | Suppose therefore you drank in all, and received all that which the Lord freely offers, should not the Lord be exceedingly magnified then? |
A59685 | T is true, the Law is writ in a beleevers heart, and if he hath a Law within, what need he( say some) look to the Law without? |
A59685 | That God will heare all the petitions of his people, can there be a greater priviledge then this? |
A59685 | The Apostle answers, It is that word which we preach: hereby you shall know whether you shall live or no; but what is that word Paul preached? |

A59685 | The Lord is my shepherd, saith David, what follows? |
A59685 | The Lord pity us; how many bee there in these times, that know there is no justification but by Christs righteousnesse, and yet esteem it not? |
A59685 | The Scripture sets out this in a lively similitude of a great Supper, to which many were invited; what was the ground of their comming to it? |
A59685 | The greatest pride that is in man, appeares here; for suppose the Lord should deny thee bread, or water, or clothes, was it your duty to murmur now? |
A59685 | The greatest question here will be, What are those prayers the Lord Jesus will heare? |
A59685 | The last Question remaines, What measure of Humiliation is here necessary? |
A59685 | There shall be none sicke among them; why so? |
A59685 | This call honours grace most, for what more free then for the Lord to say, Come and take of the water of life freely? |
A59685 | This is the blessednesse of all you poore beleevers and commers to the Lord Jesus: what should you doe but beleeve it, and rejoyce in it? |
A59685 | This is your glory& beauty, this is glorification begun; what greater glory then to be like unto God? |
A59685 | This righteousnesse of Christ is not that of the God- head,( for then what need was there for Christ to doe or suffer?) |
A59685 | This the Arminians will not beleeve, for( say they) the Question is not, Whether we are enabled to beleeve by grace? |
A59685 | Those that came to Christ, Iohn 6. and followed him for a time, but afterward fell away, v ● ● se 66. what was the reason of their fall? |
A59685 | To pray in his name, is to pray for his ends; for the sake and use of Christ, and glory of Christ, thus the phrase is used? |
A59685 | To whom is the arme of the Lord revealed? |
A59685 | Trouble me no more therefore in asking, Whether a Christian is in a state of happinesse or misery in this condition? |

A59685 | You will say, Is this certaine? |
A59685 | You will say, May not the sweetnesse of Christ in the Gospell, and sense of mercy, separate from sinne, without any compunction? |

A59685 | how many are there that claspe about Christ, and yet prove enemies to the crosse of Christ; fall from Christ scandalously or secretly afterward? |
A59685 | how much more for this that is spirituall, though it should be common? |

A59685 | how shall I now live to thee? |
A59685 | how soone may the Lord stop thy breath? |

A59685 | if there be but one in the world to be forsaken, is it not I? |
A59685 | if wounded and bruised, where are your dolorous complaints? |

A59685 | is any mans faith made perfect that the whole soule must come, or else there is no true faith? |
A59685 | is he bound to give thee greater, that doth not owe thee the least? |
A59685 | is it because Christ is a dry Christ, and unwilling to communicate? |
A59685 | is it because he is unfaithfull? |
A59685 | is it not an absolute testimony that all your sins are already pardoned by Christ, and therefore beleeve it? |
A59685 | is it not because hereby you think you shall please God? |
A59685 | is it not because thou feelest new sins, or the same sins confessed, and lamented, and in part subdued? |
A59685 | is it not certaine? |
A59685 | is it not compunction? |
A59685 | is it not first Christ himselfe, and then all the benefits of Christ? |
A59685 | is it not that thereby the heart might be affected throughly with it? |
A59685 | is it not the praise of the riches of his grace? |
A59685 | is not one heart too little for him? |
A59685 | is not this the death of most, if not all wicked men living? |
A59685 | is there not a farther end that by this light the heart might be deeply affected with sinne? |
A59685 | is there not an unregenerate part and much unbelief, remaining? |
A59685 | it is called the quiet fruit of righteousnesse; for from whence comes the sore troubles and continuall doubts of Gods favour in many mens consciences? |
A59685 | it is said, Many of the Priests were obedient to the faith; doth it therefore follow that they did immediately beleeve without any sense of sinne? |
A59685 | looke upon thy way,& c. so the Spirit saith, why dost thou say thy sin is small? |
A59685 | may not the Lord have something against me at the day of reckoning that I never saw, nor got cancelled? |
A59685 | may not the Lord justly doe it? |
A59685 | modo irresistibile? |
A59685 | must it not bee by his word? |
A59685 | must not sinne therefore bee first removed in our justification, before wee can have Gods anger allayed in our reconciliation? |
A59685 | nay to a most neare, sweet, and everlasting fellowship with Christ himselfe? |
A59685 | not having this wound at first, but onely some trouble for sinne without separation from it, sore throwes without deliverance from sinne? |
A59685 | now what are a christians wants, when the Lord hath humbled him? |
A59685 | of a wicked generation, that hee could heare no man say, What have I done? |
A59685 | or else their hearts rise and swell against the man and word also; and why is it thus? |
A59685 | shall not bee ashamed; why so? |
A59685 | that he that is justified is also sanctified, and he that is sanctified is also justified? |
A59685 | that seek honour one of another? |
A59685 | that the Spirit convinces of sinne, how? |
A59685 | the Lord made Ezekiel dumbe that hee should not be a reprover to them; What was the lamentation of Ieremy? |
A59685 | the Prophet calls upon his hearers to turne from their sin unto the Lord; but how? |
A59685 | the light afflictions here, would not they work for us glory? |
A59685 | their murder and contempt of Christ by embruing their hands in his blood? |
A59685 | then know God spared not the Angels that sinned, and how wilt thou escape, unlesse the Lord dye for thee? |
A59685 | they have Christ, and that is sufficient; they have the substance, what should they doe now with shadowes of Ordinances, Ministeries, or Sacraments? |
A59685 | they have a living holy head, but Christs body they say is a dry Skeleton, a dead carcase, and they are but dry bones:& is it so indeed? |
A59685 | they have all graces in Christ, why should they look either for being of, or evidence from any grace inherent in themselves? |
A59685 | thou hast had many a faire season of seeking God, but hast dallyed and dreamt away thy time; is not the day of grace therefore now past? |
A59685 | thou hast sinned against conscience, after thou hast been inlightned and fallen back againe, hast not thou therefore committed the impardonable sin? |
A59685 | was it not that in all sincerity and simplicity he had his conversation among men? |
A59685 | was it not this, Lord remember I have walked before thee uprightly? |

A59685 | whence comes it that Christ is not prized, but from this senselesnesse? |
A59685 | whether a Christian by faith doth make void the Law? |
A59685 | who would not abhor a filthy lust, to enjoy such a Christ? |
A59685 | why are you then discouraged when you find it thus with you? |
A59685 | why did Christ dye and was made sin then? |
A59685 | why doth he afflict us, and keep us more miserable both by outward sorrowes and inward miseries, then any other people in the world? |
A59685 | will not men say or think, What great matter is there in that? |
A59685 | will the Lord heare such a sinner, and such weak, and imperfect, and sinfull prayers? |
A59685 | will there never be an end? |
A59685 | would it passe lightly by him then? |
A59685 | would not your estate have beene then lamentable? |
A59685 | wouldst not call to the hills, and seas, and earth, and heavens, and Saints, and Angels, to break forth into glorious praises, and blesse this God? |
A59685 | yet you see no amendment, but they goe on still; what should you now doe? |
A59685 | you may have it to day, and lose it to morrow, and then where is your peace? |
A59685 | you might never come then; no, it is Jesus Christ himselfe that calls you by them: Why doe many discouraged Spirits refuse to come? |

A47542 | How will you be able to look this Blessed Saviour in the Face another Day? |
A47542 | How will you get rid of this abominable Filth, which renders you loathsom in God''s sight? |
A47542 | However they who have Salvation, either have it as the Effects of Free- Grace, or of Free- Will; Who will assert the latter? |
A47542 | I grant that it is spoken of Christ, but not of Christ personally, but Christ mystically considered: Did Christ personally ever forsake God''s Law? |
A47542 | I have found a Ransom: Where did God find it? |
A47542 | If Believers do perish, what will become of the Promises of God, nay, of the Oath of God? |

A47542 | If I am a Master, where is my Fear? |
A47542 | If I shall persevere to the End, what need is there of those Take- heeds in the Scripture? |
A47542 | If a Shepherd had under his Care 100000 Sheep, and all his own, would not every body call him a great Shepherd? |
A47542 | If he died for the Chief of Sinners, why not for thee? |
A47542 | If he had vouchsafed a Saviour for none of Adam''s Posterity, had he been unjust, any more than he is in casting off for ever all the fallen Angels? |
A47542 | If he hath Power in his Hand, will he not rescue her, nay, die upon the Spot before he will see this done? |
A47542 | If it doth, why hath it not equal Effects towards all? |
A47542 | If none saved but such that are elected, what need any look after Salvation? |
A47542 | If so, what will you do at the Day of Death, and in the Day of Judgment? |
A47542 | If the Supreme Judg, he whom they have offended, doth acquit and discharge them, who shall bring in any Accusation against them? |
A47542 | If the Word spoken by Angels were stedfast, and every Transgression and Disobedience received a just Recompence of Reward; How shall we escape? |
A47542 | If this was his End and Design in his Death; do any think he will see himself frustrated in it? |

A47542 | Is he unjust in giving effectual Grace to some, because he doth not bestow it upon all? |
A47542 | Is his Power greater than the Power of Satan? |
A47542 | Is it Gain to lose that? |
A47542 | Is it in the Eternal Purpose of his Will that all should be saved? |
A47542 | Is it in the Power of his Hands? |
A47542 | Is it meet that the Holy God should strike before he threatens, or not shoot off his Warning- Piece before he lets fly his Murdering- Piece? |
A47542 | Is it not plainly foretold, that the Messiah should be cut off, but not for himself? |
A47542 | Is it not said, If ye abide in me, and my Words abide in you? |
A47542 | Is it so great, so glorious, and shall we not mind it above all things? |
A47542 | Is it some Temporary Act of his, whereby he hath declared himself unto them? |
A47542 | Is my Hand shortned at all that it can not redeem? |

A47542 | Is not that Salvation business of the greatest Moment of all, that is so great, so sweet, so rich, so admirable, and so free and easy to be obtained? |

A47542 | Is not the Carnal Mind enmity against God, having in it an utter Averseness and Moral Impotency to do that which is spiritually Good? |
A47542 | Is not this Doctrine a Legal Doctrine, or a legal way of preaching, to insist so much upon the Threatnings of Wrath and Divine Vengeance? |
A47542 | Is not this a better Ground of Faith, than that of Christ''s dying for all? |
A47542 | Is the Wrath of God so terrible, and can no Unbeliever or impenitent Sinner escape it; what cause is here for them all to tremble? |
A47542 | Is there any Creature or Thing that is Mortal, which Man can not kill, or deprive it of Life? |
A47542 | Is there any hope that such Sinners as we may be forgiven, and be saved? |
A47542 | Is there in the Hearts of Sinners naturally Enmity against God? |
A47542 | Is this possible? |
A47542 | Is this the Doctrine of general Love which they will have to be in God to Mankind? |
A47542 | Is this to exalt the Lord alone, or to raise and sing the Praises of our Beloved David? |
A47542 | It is God that justifieth, who shall condemn us? |
A47542 | It was therefore hereby that we lost God''s Love and Favour, and is not that a dismal and most bitter thing? |
A47542 | Let me exhort you to admire the Love of Christ in coming to work out this Salvation: What hath he born and undergon to save our Souls? |
A47542 | Lo, here is one of them for whom thou gavest thy Son to die, whom thou hast left to me, and I have destroyed him for ever? |
A47542 | May be you cry out, your State is sad; but what think you of your Sin which is the Cause of it? |
A47542 | May he not say, did ye suspect or fear you were not elected? |
A47542 | May not Believers, who are Christ''s Sheep, be beguiled, so as to receive some capital Errors, or an Error in some fundamental Point? |
A47542 | May not Cry out, Fire, Fire? |
A47542 | May not a true Believer make a Breach upon a good Conscience, by falling into Temptation? |
A47542 | May we not stand amazed, and wonder at the long- suffering and forbearance of God? |
A47542 | Men are ignorant and unsensible of their States and Conditions: Are we blind also? |
A47542 | Moreover Sin feeds Men poorly: How do they feed? |
A47542 | Moreover, are there not in this floor others who are proud, earthly, carnal and covetous Persons? |
A47542 | Moreover, none can condemn such that God justifieth, because it is Christ that died: Hath not his Death Worth and Merit enough in it? |
A47542 | Must God by these Men be deemed to have no Mercy at all, because he seeks the Honour of his Justice equally with the Glory of his Mercy? |
A47542 | Must not that Salvation be of highest Moment, that the Son of God in his own Person, came from Heaven to preach and make known to Men on Earth? |
A47542 | Must not that Salvation needs be our great and chiefest Business to mind and seek after, that is so full, so comprehensive, perfect and compleat? |
A47542 | Must not that be minded before all things, that God in Eternity( as I may so say) held a Council about the actual accomplishment of? |
A47542 | Must not that needs be our only Business to look after, that Christ shed his most precious Blood to procure? |
A47542 | My Soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long? |
A47542 | Nay, and also what Knowledg have they attained of the God of Nature? |
A47542 | Nay, and in respect of God himself, it must needs appear to be wholly of Grace; could Redemption of Man add any thing to the essential Glory of God? |
A47542 | Nay, art thou willing to part with that Interest thou hast in Christ, and in this Salvation? |
A47542 | Nay, doth not Christ himself cry to you after this manner, Wilt thou continue in thy Sin, and neglect the Salvation I have purchased? |
A47542 | Nay, shall Christ''s repeated Calls, Wooings, and Intreaties, be not regarded, who spreadeth forth his Hands all the Day long? |
A47542 | No Doctrine tends to promote Gospel Holiness like the Doctrine of Gods Free- Grace: Shall we sin because grace hath abounded? |
A47542 | None can be so weak sure to assert that; for who shall resist God''s Will, or withstand God''s absolute Design, Purpose and Intention? |
A47542 | Now Sirs, what think you of this; is there any reason for you to believe God will suffer either of these things to be done? |
A47542 | Now are all Men redeemed? |
A47542 | Now can Christ cease being an Elect Head? |
A47542 | Now dare any go about, through their great Ignorance, to charge God with Perjury? |
A47542 | Now if it be demanded who are the Sheep of Christ? |
A47542 | Now is it not easy for any Man from hence to draw an Argument, that the Elect can not fall finally away, so as to perish? |
A47542 | Now this being done by us, and for us in our Head, can we henceforth die any more? |
A47542 | Now were it thus, as these Men affirm, then how is Christ rendred, even more weak and inconsiderate than any Man of Understanding? |
A47542 | Now what are the Enemies, the most dangerous Enemies of the Spouse of Christ? |
A47542 | Now what daring Men are they who say, they may come into Condemnation that do believe? |
A47542 | Now what is Election, but a chusing some out of others? |
A47542 | Now when they heard this they were pricked in the Heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the Apostles, What shall we do? |
A47542 | Now who is it that dares to affirm, that Christ did not die and satisfy for all the Sins of Believers, or for his Elect Ones? |
A47542 | Now, pray, are not these words to be taken with restriction? |
A47542 | O Death, where is thy Sting? |
A47542 | O Grave, where is thy Victory? |
A47542 | O House of David,( saith the Prophet) is it a small thing for you to weary Men, but will you weary my God also? |
A47542 | O Souls, will you crucify Christ again? |
A47542 | O bless God for the least degree of saving Grace: Have you love to God, to his poor Saints? |
A47542 | O how many Years have some of you grieved both the Father and the Son,( to speak after the manner of Men) and is not this a great Evil? |
A47542 | O my Friends, how great is the Love of Christ to one poor, lost, and undone Sinner? |
A47542 | O of what Moment is the Salvation of our Souls? |
A47542 | O saith a poor Believer, what have I done? |
A47542 | O see to it, and examine your selves; Do you not rest upon something or another short of Christ? |
A47542 | O shall not the Judg and King of Heaven and Earth do right? |
A47542 | O that is a blessed Sign: Do you love God, love his People? |
A47542 | O then receive this Salvation, here is a Prince, nay the Prince of the Kings of the Earth, that desires your Love; will you accept of this Offer? |
A47542 | O what a shame is it to be afraid, when you have such a Friend, such a Keeper, such a Shepherd to protect, feed, and keep you? |
A47542 | O what is Sin, and how miserable is the Condition of Sinners? |
A47542 | O what is the Evil of Sin? |
A47542 | O what is the Love, the Care and Faithfulness of God? |
A47542 | O what is the Natural Life of the Body, to the Eternal Life of the Soul? |
A47542 | O what will you do in the day of Gods Wrath if ye are Chaff, or but counterfeit Christians? |
A47542 | O who shall stand when God appears in the latter- Day- Judgments which are now just at the Door? |
A47542 | O wretched Man that I am, who shall deliver me from the Body of Sin and Death? |
A47542 | Of how much sorer Punishment suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Blood of the Son of God? |
A47542 | On whom is the Wrath of God denounced, or what kind of Sinners shall undergo it? |
A47542 | Or Sinner, dost thou want a broken Heart, dost thou want a penitent Heart? |
A47542 | Or are not all Men naturally under the Power of the Prince of Darkness, he taking them Captive at his Will? |
A47542 | Or could he not have created other Creatures to have shewed forth his glorious Perfections? |
A47542 | Or did Christ take more care of the Members of his Natural Body, than of the Members of his Mystical Body? |
A47542 | Or do they not much more animate him to fight couragiously? |
A47542 | Or do you think Christ will fail in his Care and Faithfulness, who is their great Shepherd, Sponsor, Surety, or Trustee? |
A47542 | Or do you want Comfort? |
A47542 | Or do you want a Shepherd to feed you, a King to rule you, a Priest to sacrifice and make an Atonement for you, a Prophet to teach you? |
A47542 | Or does not God look upon us, or count us in him so to be? |
A47542 | Or doth it not refer to all that are in him, or given to him, or all his true spiritual Seed? |
A47542 | Or hath any Man the true Grace of God, and yet not as the Result of God''s Purpose from Eternity? |
A47542 | Or how shall you that hear it preached escape if you neglect it? |
A47542 | Or is he stronger than that strong Man armed? |
A47542 | Or is it an Antecedent Desire that it should be so, though he fails in the End? |
A47542 | Or is this Gospel, to say, you shall perish eternally, and have the Fire of Hell seven times heated, if you obey not this Gospel? |
A47542 | Or shall Sin or the Devil pull Limb from Limb, and he look on? |
A47542 | Or shall his Love be so great in begetting Grace, or in infusing Grace, and no more Love shewed in keeping and preserving that Grace in their Souls? |
A47542 | Or should he suffer it, would not all say that he was a cruel and unmerciful Father, one that had no Love, no natural Affections to his poor Child? |
A47542 | Or that there is no ground left in the Word for us to believe they were saved? |
A47542 | Or was he obliged to save us, and that he might do it, to send his own Son to die, and be made a Curse for us? |
A47542 | Or what Communion hath Light with Darkness? |
A47542 | Or what Concord hath Christ with Belial? |
A47542 | Or, who hath felt and experienced the powerful Influences of his Spirit, and saving Grace thereof, on their Souls? |
A47542 | Others hear it, but do not believe it: Who hath believed our Report? |
A47542 | Ought we not to prefer that Salvation before all things, that delivers us from the greatest Evil, the Plague of all Plagues? |
A47542 | Our Souls at Death depart, and they go to Christ: What is Joy and Peace in Christ, to Joy, Peace and Consolation with Christ? |
A47542 | P. 212. l. 27. r. whosoever hath that efficacious, 〈 ◊ 〉, 〈 ◊ 〉- transforming, Soul- renewing,& c. P. 213. l. 26. dele sooner than Flesh? |
A47542 | Pray what is that which is absent from the Lord whilst it is at home in the Body, is it not the Soul? |
A47542 | Pray, what Difference is there between these Mens Doctrine, and that of the Papists? |
A47542 | Said a godly man, this is a humbling dispensation that you are exercised under — A humbling dispensation, said he, do you call it? |
A47542 | Saith a Believer, Is Sin hateful to God? |
A47542 | Satan stirs up Men to slight and neglect this so great Salvation: Is it not sad that Men should adhere to the grand Enemy of their Souls? |
A47542 | Say you so, is Sin your Sickness, is Sin your Sorrow? |
A47542 | Secondly, Doth this Will equally respect the All intended, or doth it not? |
A47542 | Secondly, What Pastures doth Christ feed his Sheep in? |
A47542 | See in what a Pickle the Mind and Will of Man naturally is in: What can a Sinner not do, if the Doctrine of sore Men were true? |
A47542 | Shall Eternal Death have Dominion over us? |
A47542 | Shall God''s Justice be eclipsed, shall his Honour be marr''d, his Goodness be despised, his Law be violated, his Holiness stained? |
A47542 | Shall a Child be taken off from his Duty, or be remiss in serving his Father, because his Father tells him he shall never be disinherited? |
A47542 | Shall all in Heaven contemplate it, and not we? |
A47542 | Shall any Enemy of the Soul bring Christ under a Disappointment? |
A47542 | Shall any change God''s Mind, or render his Thoughts liable to Alteration? |
A47542 | Shall he be at the expence of his Blood to buy it,( as one notes) and spare his Power to secure it? |
A47542 | Shall he come secretly on his Enemies before he tells them of their danger? |
A47542 | Shall he condemn that in his Creatures which he allows in himself? |
A47542 | Shall he rebel against his Soveraign? |
A47542 | Shall he slight an Interest in Christ, and not know it will be his ruin in another World? |
A47542 | Shall not the Love of God overcome thee? |
A47542 | Shall not the Majesty of God the great Law- giver be feared? |
A47542 | Shall the Sinner cast Di ● t in the Face of God, and not be told of it? |
A47542 | Shall there be Joy in Heaven this Day? |
A47542 | Simon, Son of Jonas, lovest thou me? |
A47542 | Sin can not be done away without an infinite Price: What Influence could the Blood of Beasts have to take away Sin? |
A47542 | Sinner, what sayst thou? |
A47542 | Sinners, are you bound in strong Chains, and in the Prison- house? |
A47542 | Sinners, are you dead, dead in Sins and Trespasses? |
A47542 | Sinners, are you polluted, defiled with Sin, and filthy in God''s sight? |
A47542 | Sinners, have you hard and rocky Hearts, Hearts of Stone, even as hard as the nether Milstone? |
A47542 | Sinners, will you not enquire where Christ feeds? |
A47542 | Sinners, with what Awe and holy Trembling should you attend on the Word of this Salvation, that began first to be spoken by the Lord? |
A47542 | Sirs, Jesus Christ who was rich, that he might accomplish the Salvation of our Souls, became poor; May not this affect our Hearts? |
A47542 | So then this is the Sum, In Holiness and all good Works we act and do; But how? |
A47542 | Some said with a whispering Voice that he was possessed; he over- hearing it, said, Do ye doubt it? |
A47542 | Suppose, Brethren, there was some other Way to be saved than by Christ, yet is it not meet that the Creature comply with the Will of his Creator? |
A47542 | That Redemption that is by Christ, is( you hear) from all Iniquity; and are all so redeemed? |
A47542 | That all Mankind, before Grace is infused into the Soul, are dead: What short of Almighty Power can raise the Dead to Life? |
A47542 | That which was so seasonable, and when all hopes of Relief and Help was gone? |
A47542 | That will be the Time when God will make the Power of his Wrath and Anger known: Who( saith the Psalmist) knows the Power of thine Anger? |
A47542 | The Apostle clearly confirms the same great Truths; Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his Death? |
A47542 | The Conscience in a fearful manner shall torment the damned: May we not conclude Conscience will terrifie them after this manner? |
A47542 | The Cross makes many lose the Crown; but, Brethren, had Jesus Christ refused the Cross, where had we been? |
A47542 | The Devils cried, Why dost thou torment us before the Time? |
A47542 | The Eunuch answered, How can I, unless some Man should guide me? |
A47542 | The Flesh can not bring forth an Heavenly Babe: Can Corruption produce or be the Cause of Regeneration? |
A47542 | The Soul is more worth than all the World: What shall it profit a Man to gain the whole World, and lose his own Soul? |
A47542 | The Spouse from hence enquires of Christ where he feedeth, and where he maketh his Flock to rest at Noon? |
A47542 | The Work of the Ministry is to open the Scripture; Vnderstandest thou what thou readest? |
A47542 | They shall sit upon Thrones; Know ye not that the Saints shall judg the World? |
A47542 | Thirdly what is meant by the Chaff? |
A47542 | Thirdly, and lastly, What Comfort and Consolation doth this afford to all true Christians? |
A47542 | This being all true, what is become of the Doctrine( or rather of the gross Error) of a final falling from a State of true Grace? |
A47542 | This greatly raiseth the Honour of Believers: What greater Dignity can be conferred on us, than to be begotten and born of God? |
A47542 | Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy Way; yet sayest thou not, There is no Hope? |
A47542 | Though Co ● iah the Son of Jehojakim King of Judah were the Signet upon my right Hand, yet would I pluck thee thence? |
A47542 | To talk of Christ''s Death, and see no Effects of it, alas, what''s that? |
A47542 | To whom hath the Arm of the Lord been revealed? |
A47542 | To you poor Sinners let me speak one word by way of Exhortation: Did God so early contrive our Salvation? |
A47542 | Tremble you that slight or neglect the great Salvation of the Gospel: Will you say that Jesus Christ can not save you, or is not willing to save you? |
A47542 | True, some things you must part with, whoever you are, that will have a part in this Salvation: But what is that? |
A47542 | Tush, our State is good enough, we can repent hereafter: What is the Gospel but to do as we would be done unto? |
A47542 | Tush, will God think you ever cast us into Hell for such small things as these, or throw us into a Furnace of Fire? |
A47542 | Was God unjust in electing some of the Angels, because he passed by others of them? |
A47542 | Was it possible for Christ not to abide in his Father''s Love? |
A47542 | Was not Peter sent to him( and to those other Gentiles with him) that they might be converted? |
A47542 | Was our Salvation so great, that he parted with his Life to procure it, and is it not worth your parting with your Sins to have an Interest in it? |
A47542 | Was the Birth of Christ Matter of Joy in the Effects of it to Judas, and to the unbelieving Jews, and to many more? |
A47542 | Was the Body of Christ, and the Body of that gracious Person that Day together in Paradise? |
A47542 | Was the Wrath of God due to us let out upon him, that we might never feel the weight thereof? |
A47542 | Was there a Council held in Eternity about our Salvation? |
A47542 | Well what of this? |
A47542 | Well, but what are the Characters of those happy Souls? |
A47542 | Well, what is that which God hath sworn by his Holiness, and will not lie to do for David, the true David, that is his own beloved Son? |
A47542 | Well, what of that? |
A47542 | Well, what of this? |
A47542 | Were any ever damned that did what they could in the use of all Means under the Light of the Gospel, to be saved? |
A47542 | What Act it is of God wherein this his Willingness doth consist? |
A47542 | What Advantage brings Christ''s Death, to abrogate one perfect Law, and establish another? |
A47542 | What Fellowship hath Righteousness with Vnrighteousness? |
A47542 | What Man that has a Principle of Honesty or of Morality, will deceive or fail such a One, after he hath taken the sole Care and Charge of him? |
A47542 | What Mortal can think to escape that neglects so great Salvation? |
A47542 | What Reason can be assigned, that all they whom God equally intended Salvation for by Christ, have it not? |
A47542 | What Shepherd ever loved his Sheep as Christ loved his? |
A47542 | What Shepherd ever thus loved his Sheep, even to be wounded and bruised for them, to heal them of their Wounds with his own Stripes? |
A47542 | What Treasure hath he spent,( as I may say)? |
A47542 | What Wisdom do such despise, what Goodness do they disregard, what infinite Love and Patience do they abuse that neglect this Salvation? |
A47542 | What Work is it then? |
A47542 | What a kind of Sin is the Sin against the Holy Ghost? |
A47542 | What a kind of such were they? |
A47542 | What are all these things but Fancies, vain Dreams? |
A47542 | What are the Causes that sometimes the Saints fall so far as hath been hinted? |
A47542 | What can be a greater Mistake? |
A47542 | What can be a worse Judgment? |
A47542 | What can he, with all his natural and acquired Parts find out, as to the greatness and wonderfulness of Christ''s Love? |
A47542 | What can the Natural or the Moral Philosopher do, as to the comprehending, finding out, or demonstrating the Nature of Christ''s Love? |
A47542 | What can we desire more, than to be delivered from Sin, and purged from Sin? |
A47542 | What did the Soul of the Prodigal find? |

A47542 | What do you think of your selves, Sinners? |
A47542 | What doth Eternal Life import? |

A47542 | What is intended by Christ''s Garner? |
A47542 | What is intended by the Fan? |
A47542 | What is it but a breathing forth of the highest Disdain on the Wisdom of God? |
A47542 | What is it, I pray you, that tends more to bring Honour to God in the World, than that Grace which he hath infused into the Hearts of his People? |
A47542 | What is meant by Eternal Life? |
A47542 | What is meant by any? |
