A33462Now, what shall a poore unlearned Christian do, if that he hath nothing to rest his poore soul on?
A33462On what then?
A33462Our Religion is made a scorne by it, to those that be but for the pot and pipe?
A33462Our enquiry is, What written word?
A33462So Paul,( are built upon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets) meaning the foundation which the Apostles and Prophets laid: Laid where?
A33462So againe, the Thessalonians, being Grecians, did not understand the Hebrew, yet they were commanded to prove all things: By what?
A33462So the old Church after Malachi, what was left to the most but the Greek Translation?
A33462Was it not lawful for the Jews in captivity to labour the conversion of the Gentiles?
A33462What gets the flie that goes whisking by the Candle?
A33462What if there be variety of readings in some Copies?
A33462What if thou hast but the a self- same words?
A33462What if we meet with stormes?
A33462What then?
A33462What then?
A33462What''s got by gadding?
A33462Where''s our forbearance?
A33462Who can sufficiently admire the wisdome of God, in setting of this able penne to work, upon such an useful subject?
A33462Who can tell what God may do?
A33462Who knowes what times may passe over him?
A33462Who will takeup their* vertues?
A33462Who will try Ratsbane, or a sharp sword, whether it will pierce into his bowels?
A33462Why be we not then all of one heart?
A33462Why should there be such huge rents and divisions in the Church?
A33462Why then may not we twit them, rather then they do us with the private spirit?
A33462all in one tract?
A33462and some mistakes in writing or Printing?
A61603And 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?
A61603And 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?
A61603And wherewithall then wilt thou be able to dispute with God?
A61603Are the flames of another world such painted fires, that they deserve only to be laughed at, and not seriously considered by us?
A61603But is the Chair of Scorners at last proved the only chair of Infallibility?
A61603But 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?
A61603But who art thou O man, that thus findest fault with thy Maker?
A61603Did ever any yet, though never so wicked and profane themselvs, seriously commend another person for his rudeness and debaucheries?
A61603Do they think that we are all become such fools to take scoffs for arguments, and raillery for demonstrations?
A61603For what is it that God requires of men as the condition of their future happiness which in its own nature is judged impossible?
A61603Hast thou no other plea for thy self, but that thy sins were fatal?
A61603Is it for men to live soberly, righteously and godly in this world?
A61603Is it to be charitable to the poor, compassionate to those in misery?
A61603Is it to be patient under suffering, moderate in our desires, circumspect in our actions, contented in all conditions?
A61603Is it to do as we would be done by?
A61603Is wit grown so schismatical& sacrilegious, that it can please it self with nothing but holy ground?
A61603Must those be the standard of mankind, who seem to have little left of humane nature, but laughter and the shape of men?
A61603Or 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?
A61603Or is it only the freedome of action, and not of choice, that men have an experience of within themselves?
A61603Shall not the apprehension of his excellency make thee now afraid of him?
A61603Was any mans lust or intemperance ever reckoned among the Titles of his honour?
A61603Where was it ever known, that sobriety and temperance, justice and charity were thought the marks of reproach and infamy?
A61603Who ever suffered in their reputation by being thought to be really good?
A61603Who ever yet raised Trophies to his vices, or thought to perpetuate his memory by the glory of them?
A61603Will not the proposal of so excellent a reward, make us swallow some more than ordinary hardships that we might enjoy it?
A61603Wilt thou then charge his Providence with folly, and his Laws with unreasonableness?
A61603art thou only free to ruine and destroy thy self?
A61603but what series of causes is there that doth so necessarily impose upon the common sense of all mankind?
A099818. cleanse your hands ye sinners, and purifie your hearts yee double minded: How is that done?
A0998190. and say, Who knowes the power of his wrath?
A09981And why so?
A09981Are not they our brethren, and sonnes of the same father?
A09981As new borne babes to desire the sincere milke of the Word: and why?
A09981But every one will be ready to say; This is a hard saying, and who can indure it?
A09981But here some man will be ready to say, Why can not that be without these extremities?
A09981But some man will here bee ready to make a question, and askeme, what I would have him doe for the Church now?
A09981Doe not my words doe good to him that walketh uprightly?
A09981Doe wee thinke to stand now others fall?
A09981Ester delivered all the Jewes by this meanes: it was not Esters word that did it; for what made the King not to sleepe that night?
A09981For their beauty, they have none that is true beauty: what beauty have dead men in them?
A09981Further, consider, hast thou not made thy nature worse?
A09981I but some may here object and say, have not some men many excellent morall vertues, such as even the godly themselves have not?
A09981I but what shall I be good for?
A09981I, but what if that bee wounded too?
A09981I, but what if the tryals bee many?
A09981I, but what is that good?
A09981I, but will some say, what shall I get by it?
A09981If the fire be at one end of the building, shall we be safe which are at the other end?
A09981In these earthly things men are not so foolish, why therefore are they so ignorant in this point of spirituall wisdome?
A09981Iohn cryes in the wildernesse, Prepare the way of the Lord,& c. but how?
A09981See what great sinnes those were, how can you name greater?
A09981Some 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?
A09981Tell me, ye that are under the Law, doe ye not desire to heare the Law?
A09981The fifth question is this; What is the least degree of Humiliation that must be in one that will be saved?
A09981The first question is, Wherein consists this true Humiliation?
A09981The second question is, What kinde of sorrow is required in this Humiliation?
A09981The sixth question is this, How shall we come to be thus humbled?
A09981The third question is, How shall he know whether these sorrowes of his be true or no?
A09981Try therefore whether now you doe that that others will not doe; wherein else doth the power of Religion consist?
A09981Try whether you have denied your selves, and throughly mortified your dearest lust, and what soever the fl ● sh desireth?
A09981We 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?
A09981We see how David doth recollect himselfe together when h ● ● soule was disquieted within him, asking himselfe why it was so?
A09981What hast thou to doe with mercy, which seest not thy misery?
A09981What is God but infinite?
A09981When then the spirit blowes, why wilt thou be so foolish as to deferre thy repentance unto another time?
A09981Wherein note wee in the first place, That the Lord will be seene: why, what strange thing is that?
A09981Who shall deliver me from this body of death?
A09981Why, did hee not know that before?
A09981and whether you bee sicke of sinne?
A09981are they not of the same profession?
A09981have they not the same spirit?
A09981how came he to call for the booke of the Chronicle?
A09981how light hee on that place of Mordecay?
A09981let me be of such as be in prosperity and have friends, and some that will provide for mee: but what is the reason of this?
A09981shall wee not then bee ready to helpe them?
A09981what is his wrath but infinite?
A09981which 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?
A09981who growes any fatter, any better liking than before?
A6773617. and if in ocency found no means of resistance, what hope have we so extreamly degenerated?

A09364Againe, it may be demaunded, what must be done, if both be wanting?
A09364And Christ saith to Saul persecuting his Church, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
A09364And because it might be said, God indeede knowes who shall be saued, but what is that to vs?
A09364And first of all, if it be asked what Melancholie is?
A09364And first, let him aske whether he beleeue and repent?
A09364And to this purpose is the saying of the Prophet Amos, Shall there be euill in the citie, and the Lord hath not done it?
A09364And to this purpose the Prophet Dauid saith, I held my peace and said nothing: why?
A09364And touching this affliction, it is demanded, How any seruant of God, may be able to indure with comfort, the pangs of death?
A09364And what benefit had he by taking such a course?
A09364And what is that?
A09364But how will some say, can God accept a worke of ours that is imperfect?
A09364But howe is that?
A09364But howe may a man be assured of Gods speciall loue and fauour?
A09364But it may be asked, vpon what signes may this comfort be applyed?
A09364But some may demand, how any man can be saued, seeing euery man is ignorant of many things which he ought to know?
A09364First, 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?
A09364For howe can he that loueth not his brother, whome he hath seene, loue God whome he hath not seene?
A09364For vsually, it is long before comfort can be receiued; and why?
A09364For 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?
A09364For who can tell how of the offendeth?
A09364Ground is: To consider, what makes a man professing Christ, accepted of God, and howe much he himselfe must doe, for this ende?
A09364Here a question may be mooued, Howe long he that ministreth comfort, must stand vpon the possibilitie of pardon?
A09364How a man beeing in Distresse of mind ●, may be comforted& releeued?
A09364How a man may be in conscience assured of his owne saluation?
A09364How can he reape vnto himselfe frō thence any assurance of reconciliation to God, whome he formerly offended?
A09364How is that?
A09364I answer: to the Law, but howe?
A09364If here it be asked, how this pardon and forgiuenes may be known?
A09364If it be asked, what mē are to doe in this case?
A09364If it be demanded, what is the occasion of this kinde of temptation?
A09364If it be demaunded, howe a man may be assured that he loueth God?
A09364In the first verse whereof, this question is propounded, namely, VVho of all the mēbers of the Church, shall haue his habitation in heauen?
A09364In the next place, Inquirie must be made, whether the partie doth approoue, loue,& like these and such like thoughts, or no?
A09364It may be saide, How shall a man discerne the thoughts that are from the Deuill, from his owne thoughts?
A09364It may then be asked, how such persons may be recouered after a relapse?
A09364It will be here demanded, seeing workes must be done in obedience, how, and to what part of the word we must direct our obedience?
A09364Marke 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?
A09364Now 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?
A09364Now whereas it might be haply demaunded by some beleeuers, how they should come to this assurance?
A09364Nowe Question is mooued, Howe this violent distresse of minde, arising from our owne sinnes, is to be cured?
A09364Nowe what did Daniel in this case?
A09364Nowe when Adam falls, and sinnes against God, what is his sinne?
A09364Put the case againe, that the testimonie of the spirit be wanting, and our sanctification be vncertaine vnto vs, how then may we be assured?
A09364Secondly, it is demanded, how a man may truly discerne, whether this ioy of the Spirit be in him, yea or no?
A09364Secondly, it is demaunded: When faith beginnes to breed in the heart, and when a man beginnes to beleeue in Christ?
A09364Some may say, how if God will not deliuer vs, but leaue vs in the affliction, what comfort shall we then haue?
A09364THe last generall Question touching man as he is a Christian is, How a man beeing in distresse of minde, may be comforted and releiued?
A09364THe next generall Question touching man as he is a Christian is, How a man may be in conscience assured, of his owne saluation?
A09364The first: What a man must doe, that he may come into the fauour of God and be saued?
A09364The point therefore to be handled is, What this doctrine should be?
A09364The second is, what are the effects and operations of Melancholie?
A09364The second thing to be considered is, what is a Sinner properly?
A09364The second, Howe he may be assured in conscience of his owne saluation?
A09364The sixt is the Manner how?
A09364The third, Howe he may recouer himselfe, when he is distressed or fallen?
A09364The young man in the Gospell sues to Christ, and askes him, What shall I doe to be saued?
A09364Then he must further aske, whether he desire to beleeue and repent?
A09364Thirdly, it may be demanded, whether there be any difference betweene the trouble of Cōscience and Melancholie?
A09364Vpon what grounds may some say?
A09364What if it fall out, that a man in humbling himselfe, can not call to minde either all, or the most of his sinnes?
A09364What is Distresse of minde?
A09364What man must doe that ● e may come into Gods fauour and be saued?
A09364What must a man doe, that finds himselfe hard hearted, and of a dead spirit, so as he can not humble himselfe as he would?
A09364What must a man doe, that he may come into Gods fauour, and be saued?
A09364When Shemei cursed Dauid, he forbade his seruants, so much as to meddle with him, and why?
A09364When the euill Spirit came vpon Saul, it so tempted him, that he would haue slaine him that was next vnto him: how so?
A09364Whether it be necessarie in humiliation, that the heart should be smitten with a sensible sorrowe?
A09364Whether 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?
A09364Who can vnderstād his faults?
A09364because( saith he) the Lord bade him to curse, and who then dare say vnto him, why hast thou done so?

A09156Whether the afflicted were a counterfeit, as was one Marwood, the Boy of Bilson, and one Mary Brosier?
A09156Whether they might proceed vpon meere presumptions against the suspected, or rather stay till they had more certaine and grounded pro ● fet?
A09156Who bee they Master Sheriffe?
A09156Woman, what canst thou say for thy selfe, that Sentence according to Law should not bee pronounced against thee?
A09156Would a man hating Couetousnesse commend the practise of Sir Worldlywise, as hee hath done?
A09156canst thou, soe notorious a Traytor to God, to his Church, to thy King, and to thy Country, now imagine, to reape any benefit by thy Cleargy?
A09156must Fathers, Councels, Scriptures& al be brought vnder our Iudgements?
A09156or how can any one so write or speake, as to content euery man?
A09156wilt thou deny them?
A7955212. what did it signifie but the going astray, and the return of the faithfull?
A79552Alas, what is it to repent, if we persevere in our wickedness?
A79552And alas, wilt thou dread my exhortations?
A79552And 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?
A79552And what are the pleasures, the delights and vanities thou puts''t into the contrary ballance to weigh against so heavy a doom?
A79552And whatman who is thus sotishly his own enemy, can design any thing nobly and virtuously?
A79552And where then canst thou dream of any jarre or discord may happen?
A79552And why remain we then so insensibly stupid?
A79552And yet how much are worldings puffed up with these transitory delights?
A79552Are they our sins which hinder us?
A79552As for example, suppose thy selfe in an overheated Bath; thy skin scalding, thy veines, and sinewes shrinking?
A79552As thou art fallen( Theodorus) so likewise fell blessed David; he to adultery added the heynous murther of innocent Uriah: But what follow''d?
A79552But what was that former grace and beauty( whilst thou wert in thy integrity) in which thou didst so infinitely excell?
A79552Can no wisdome regulate the passions of a mind so troubled?
A79552Can you imagine a more tormenting Hel then this?
A79552Canst thou return yet?
A79552Did St. Paul cast him off as a reprobate from the hopes of salvation?
A79552Do not his mercifull calls summon us?
A79552Doest thou not know that many have dyed in their drunkennesse, their lusts, and other sinfull delu ● sions of this age?
A79552Doest thou not understand whose lost condition it is he so bewailes;''t is their?
A79552Doest thou see this woman?
A79552For in death there is no remembrance of thee; in the grave who shall give thee thanks?
A79552For when one buildeth( saith the Scripture) and another pulleth down, what profit have they but labour?
A79552HOw surpassingly great is the kindnesse, and love of God to us?
A79552Have you suffer''d so many things in vain?
A79552Hee that washeth himself after touching a dead body, if he touch it again, what availeth it him?
A79552How did the glorious beauty of thy soul excell all the magnificence and pomp of this World?
A79552How short the time of their continuance compar''d with eternity?
A79552If other mens calamities be proper lessons for us; shall not all our owne instruct us?
A79552In how small a time did his contrition purchase him Heaven, even before Christs followers and Apostles?
A79552Is thy diseast so desperate thou darest not hope for a recovery?
A79552My Son( saies the Son of Sirach) hast thou sinned?
A79552Nay, they return''d from out of the fire triumphant ore the flame?
A79552O Vainly deceived man?
A79552Oh let us take heed of such desperate perswasions as these?
A79552Shall not we then grieve for him?
A79552To these adde the Prophet Malachi; Behold( saies he) the Lord Almighty cometh, but who shall abide the day of his comming?
A79552WAs there ever any one so great a Monster as Nebuchadnezzar, that King of the Babylonians?
A79552What can be more happy then such a life?
A79552What flinty heart?
A79552What follow''d this fall of his?
A79552What fool would bee content for one pleasing moment to lead all the rest of his life in miserie?
A79552What 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?
A79552What if we were to die a thousand times in a day?
A79552What is the inside of her killing glittering eyes?
A79552What lies under that sweet and lovely outside of thy Hermion''s surpassing graces, or her purpled cheeks?
A79552What saist thou?
A79552What then were infinite millions of those Jews in the ballance with thee before thy sad fall?
A79552What( alas) is the destruction of the body, but an accomplish''d course in the order of nature?
A79552Whatsoever was the cause of his fall?
A79552When we have the most incens''d him, then ought we most carefully to look to our selves?
A79552Where are some now, who lately trac''d the streets in pride, who fed their parasites with dainties?
A79552Where consum''d it?
A79552Where is this beauty banisht?
A79552Who ever propounded to himself( if hee were wise) to labour in vain?
A79552Who will give water to my head?
A79552Why then is the People of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetuall back- sliding?
A79552Would any man that sowes fling away his seed but in expectation to receive the fruit there of?
A79552and all the reputed happinesse of this life are no better?
A79552and cloath''d themselves with the finest silkes?
A79552and to my eyes a Fountain of tears?
A79552and who shall stand when he appeareth?
A79552and with such Majesty as Kings out of their stately Palaces, march''d they out of the Furnace?
A79552canst thou repent after this thy strange fall?
A79552did he lie under the burthen of his iniquities?
A79552did not he attempt to rise again, but overcome by Satan lay prostrate to his fury?
A79552did the Shepherd neglect the wanderer?
A79552he couragiously resumes his arms against his enemy?
A79552how shall wee avoid them?
A79552most foolishly and sottishly deluded sinner?
A79552or forfeit an inestimable weight of glory for a dream?
A79552shall he turn away, and not return?
A79552shall we cease our lamentations till he return to himselfe again?
A79552they that presum''d the walkes they went in?
A79552thou opinator of thy owne wisdome and happinesse?
A79552to endure the torments of Hell it selfe for a season?
A79552what is become of all this pomp and pride, is it not vanish''d, is it not past over like a dreame?
A79552whither shall we flye to escape the wrath that followes them?
A79552who is there so sottish, as would willfully forfeit all his peace for a minutes pleasure?
A79552yet in vain?
A094623. that there shall come false teachers, which shall teach doctrines of Diuels: and what are these?
A09462Admit Satan allures me to carnal vncleanenesse; how may I preserue my selfe that I may with the wise virgins enter with the bridegrome?
A09462And cried with a loud voice, and said, What haue I to do with thee, Iesus the sonne of the most high God?
A09462And 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?
A09462Behold] This word is a word of wonder, and it sheweth there is some matter of moment that followeth: and what is that?
A09462But 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?
A09462But do we so?
A09462But how could Christ be tempted, seeing he was most holy, euen as he was man?
A09462But how could the Diuel cary our Sauiour Christ to this high mountaine?
A09462But how did the diuell carie our Sauiour Christ from the wildernesse to Ierusalem?
A09462But how shall I know whether this testimonie come from Gods spirit, or from carnall presumption?
A09462But some may say: What, is it not lawfull thē to demaund and require a signe at Gods hands?
A09462Could he ouercome the world, and can he not ouercome many troubles in the world?
A09462Doth God tempt vs?
A09462Hath God said indeed ye shall die?
A09462How is this resistance confirmed?
A09462How many art mine iniquities and sinnes?
A09462How many parts hath this armor?
A09462How may I fall in this temptations?
A09462How may I prepare my self vnto it?
A09462How may I preserue patience?
A09462How may I resist this assault?
A09462How may I resist this temptation?
A09462How may I withstand these?
A09462How may one be thus assaulted?
A09462How must this crosse be taken vp?
A09462How will he allure to sinne?
A09462If I fall, how may I rise?
A09462If he had power in the head, why not in the mēbers?
A09462If thou be the Sonne of God] What moued the Diuell to moue this question vnto Christ rather then any other?
A09462If thou streightly markest iniquities, O Lord who shall stand?
A09462In a word, is he vpon earth?
A09462Iobs l messengers came not so fast on him: but Iobs afflictions may come as fast vpō vs. Hath Dauid slaine m a Bere?
A09462Is Christ tempted?
A09462Is he on the crosse?
A09462Is his 〈 ◊ 〉 cleane gone for euer?
A09462Let me speake yet vnto you concerning calamities: I reade in the Scriptures of the patient bearing of the crosse; what wil it teach me?
A09462Lidia What then must be my remedy?
A09462Lidia Which be the parts thereof?
A09462My God, my God; why hast thou forsaken me, and art so farre from my health, and from the words of my roaring?
A09462Now 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?
A09462Now say they, we kneele and bow to earthly Princes, and do reuerence to the chaire of Estate: why then may we not to Saints?
A09462Or 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?
A09462Paul Are they so?
A09462Say I be angrie vnaduisedly, or desire to reuenge wrongs done vnto me, how may I remedie this my sinne?
A09462Say I sinne by couetousnesse and ambition: what must I do?
A09462Saying, I haue sinned, betraying the innocent bloud: but they said, What is that to vs?
A09462The God of power preserue me from this assault by these preseruatiues: but how may I fall in this temptation?
A09462VVhat is his resistance?
A09462VVhat( I pray you) is the crosse?
A09462VVhich is the first?
A09462What certaine preseruatiues are to be noted in this resistance?
A09462What doth Satan when one is thus ● ● llen?
A09462What helpes doth the Diuell abuse, for the strengthening of such illusions as these?
A09462What is it which we call Christi ● ● warfare?
A09462What is my falling in this assault?
A09462What is my remedie?
A09462What is the conflict of these warriors?
A09462What is the second assault?
A09462What is this temptation?
A09462What is to be gathered hence?
A09462What must I note in this Christian souldier?
A09462What remedie is there if that I fall?
A09462What then is the combat?
A09462What?
A09462Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and takest me for thine enemie?
A09462Whē Dauid heard the Gentiles say, where is now their God?
A09462Which( I pray you) be they?
A09462Who are the warriors?
A09462Whom call you the tempter?
A09462Will in Lord absent himselfe for euer, and will he shew no more fauour?
A09462Will thou breake a leafe driuen to and fro, and wilt thou pursue the drie stubble?
A09462a In thee haue I trusted, saith a king: b who euer was confounded that trusted in the Lord, said a friend?
A09462and with the disciples: l Carest thou not maister that we perish?
A09462are we warie of these tempters?
A09462doest not thou iudge and auenge our bloud on them that dwel on the earth?
A09462doth his promise faile for euermore?
A09462he is tempted in his m person; is he in heauen?
A09462he must make a r ● ad vpon the Philistims: are the Philistims conquered?
A09462he shall encounter with a Lion: hath he killed a Lion?
A09462n he must fight with Goliah: hath he subdued Goliah?
A09462take heed of apostacie: doth the flesh tempt man?
A09462take heed of dissembling: doth man tempt God?
A09462take heed of his subtiltie: doth man tempt man?
A09462take heed of hypocrisie: doth Satan tempt vs?
A09462take heed of inquiring: doth the world tempt man?
A09462the k people will not pitie him: is he risen?
A09462was this any vertue in the Diuel to obey Christs commandement?
A19297And alas, how doe we seeke for mercy in this case, but for feare of vengance?
A19297And can we looke for a better haruest of such fearfull seedings?
A19297And 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?
A19297And how shall the faults of Ministers bee corrected but by the supreame Magistrate?
A19297And indeed how can it be, that Satan should performe with them?
A19297And is it any other in our Honourable Court of the High Commission, and in other Consistories of our Clergie?
A19297And is not now bodily seruice made an Idoll, and will worship set in the seate of the scorners?
A19297And is not this now Satans time to make prey of the soule?
A19297And is there any feare of God, where prophanesse is iustified,& that by abusing and peruerting the straight waies of God?
A19297And seeing Mammon serues our present turne, what more profit shall we haue in the seruice of God?
A19297And shal not he much more increase thy oile in the cruse, the meale in the barrell?
A19297And what need wee desire the wine and the corne, when our God is at peace with vs?
A19297And what neede he then take care for any other happines?
A19297And when we haue the most thereof at the best, will it not prooue too heauie a reckoning without the blessing of God?
A19297Are we sick of the world, and neuer satisfied therewith?
A19297As, the Minister may be also a Magistate?
A19297Behold the bargaine, and tremble at it; blesse thy God that thou hast not beene ouerraught?
A19297But behold now, the Driuing of the Bargaine; what is it, that encourageth and enableth Sathan to preuaile for our destruction?
A19297But now on the other side, doth hee performe with them?
A19297Can there be a greater plague to the wicked then still to be desiring, what they compasse?
A19297Consider we a little, how they vse these things: are they not vsually in extreames and so bode extremity?
A19297Doe they not in distrust of Gods prouidence, vsually make Idols of these things, and so are giuen vp to make Idols of themselues?
A19297Doth Cain build Cities,& seeke to nestle himselfe surely on the earth, to auoid the storme of heauen?
A19297Doth Iudas sell his Maister for the wages of vnrighteousnesse, and doth he not set his soule to sale to the deuill?
A19297Doth not affliction bridle sinne, and withdraw many encouragments there- from?
A19297For What shall it profit a man though he should win the whole world, and lose his owne soule?
A19297Haue we begun in the spirit, and haue quickly enough thereof?
A19297How can this choose but breed despaire, and fearefull confusion?
A19297How can we expect Grapes of thornes, or Figges of thistles?
A19297How commonly do men prostitute their soules for the loue of the world?
A19297How could wee enuie and fret at the prosperity of others?
A19297How doth this discouer our barrennes of grace, how doth it conuince our bondage vnto sinne?
A19297How fearefully heereby doe they enthrall themselues to destruction?
A19297How necessarie is that knowledge, which may enforme vs rightly herein?
A19297If 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?
A19297If Saul to cloake his sinne, will be hindered of the people, shall he not be reiected of God, and hasten his own confusion?
A19297If happinesse consist in enioying the world, then what need we feare to venture the soule; vnlesse we enuie our owne happinesse?
A19297If we could be humbled dayly in the sence of our vnworthynesse, how should we be thankfull for the least?
A19297If we could daily renewe our repentance, how should we preuent, or reiect Satans assaults?
A19297Is it no profit to aduenture thy soule for the world?
A19297Is it not at the least as Sauls Armour, too heauy a burthen for vs?
A19297Is it not now a ruled Case among Worldlings, that there is no hell but to be in debt?
A19297Is it with purpose to be ridde of our sinnes, or rather for hope we may returne to our vomit againe?
A19297Is not euery Trade a Mysterie forsooth?
A19297Is not he our sufficient portion, and shall we not with him haue all things else?
A19297Is the price too deare?
A19297Is thine eye euill because his is good?
A19297Nay, is not the present Euent vsually a warrant herein?
A19297One Trades- man may exercise diuers ciuill Callings?
A19297Shall we for our better informing take a view of some of them?
A19297Shall wee discouer the delusions which preuaile hereunto?
A19297Such are the grounds to compasse these things, and are not the meanes suteable?
A19297This serues the turne for the present, and what neede we any more?
A19297What can we see abroad which may not more humble vs vnder the hand of God?
A19297What hope of preuailing, where the soule is thus armed?
A19297What need he feare whatsoeuer Bug- beares of heauen or hell, that simple men are feared withall?
A19297What roome could there bee for him, if the heart were so employed?
A19297What should wee doe with a whole world, whereof nothing is our due, and the least may serue the turne?
A19297Whether one man may haue diuers Callings?
A19297Who would not enioy the most of all those things, that he may haue greatest happines?
A19297Why do worldings engrosse and compasse the earth, but that they haue no hope of heauen?
A19297Will Satan play thus false with thee, and cheate thee in thy Bargaine?
A19297Will wee make sure of thriuing first, before wee labour for knowledge, and the feare of God?
A19297and can these be but abused where credit is made the head, and conscience the tayle?
A19297and can wee admit of any Iudge then ciuill honestie?
A19297and is not the ground thereof, that roote of Atheisme, that they account of no God but Mammon, no heauen but worldly happinesse?
A19297and is not this Mysterie abused commonly to deceiue, and be deceiued?
A19297and what remaines there vnto vs but a fearefull expectation thereof?
A19297can the conscience be free where profit limits religion, and ciuility is the iudge thereof?
A19297doth not troubles awake the conscence, and at least breed some remorse& outward abstinence from euill?
A19297hauing mouthes and yet dare not taste, hauing bellies, and yet pine themselues?
A19297how maiest thou prepare thy selfe to euerlasting fulnes?
A19297how ordinarily do men transgresse for morsels of bread?
A19297how shall their wrongs be righted but by him?
A19297how willingly is the soule made a prey for the gaining of earthly things?
A19297if thou canst be faithfull a little, shalt thou not see greater things thē these?
A19297it hath sorted well; and therefore it is well: what should I say?
A19297must we not make the best of what we haue, seeing wee will haue no better?
A19297nay, may not our precisenesse hinder our profit?
A19297or rather doe we not dreame of mercy, and yet when we are awake we are an hungry?
A19297that it is madnesse to thinke that there is any such couenant with Satan?
A19297that plenty hath brought forth vanitie, and the daughter hath deuoured the mother?
A19297where pride is a chaine, how can bondage or subiection be any whit brooked?
A19297who lesse enioy that they haue, then they that haue most?
A100242. Who shall stand when he appeares?
A1002429. now what thinke ye shall be done unto such?
A10024Againe, doth the Lord send any creature to comfort thee?
A10024Ahab is rich enough, and Haman hath a wife and children, and yet what comfort and joy had they in them?
A10024And Christ himselfe saith, that it is more blessed to lend then to borrowe, to give then to receive, may wee not then desire them?
A10024And lastly, if a pardon be granted, see, Is there a love and a delight in Christ?
A10024Art thou in favour with a great man, Who promoted thee?
A10024Art thou in honour, Who exalted thee?
A10024Art thou poore, who can enrich thee?
A10024Art thou weake, who can strengthen thee?
A10024But how farre may a man desire wealth, where must hee set limits to his desires, where must they be restrained?
A10024But some man will be ready to say, what needes all this?
A10024But 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?
A10024But 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?
A10024But will not wealth and friends profit us?
A10024But you will say unto me, How shall we doe to get this loathing of earthly things?
A10024But 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?
A10024But you will say unto mee, How shall wee attaine this worke of Mortification?
A10024But you will say unto mee, May wee not use Eloquence and Science in the Preaching of the Word?
A10024But you will say unto mee, What must we doe with our learning?
A10024But you will say unto mee, Wherein is the regenerate man able to doe more than another man, or more then he could doe?
A10024But you will say, How can the Spirit of Christ, which is the holy Ghost, dwell in the heart, seeing he is in heaven?
A10024But you will say, The heart is of a great depth, and who can search it?
A10024But you will say, there are divers kindes of Faith, What Faith is this then that thus purifieth the heart?
A10024Come unto me all you that are weary and heavie laden, and I will ease you: Now what will hee ease them of, the guilt?
A10024Every man is ashamed of indiscreetnesse in his carriage, now, what is the cause of indiscreetnesse?
A10024Except the Lord speake once and twice to us, we will not regard it: Paul was troubled with a strong affection, what doth he?
A10024For the first; What is meant by Members?
A10024Fourthly, it makes us unfaithfull; If you have beene faithfull in a little wicked riches, how will you be faithfull in the true riches?
A10024Have wee not reason to distinguish betwixt things which wee know are of a contrary nature?
A10024Here may a question be asked, why men doe abstaine from murther and Idolatry?
A10024Hereby then examine your selves what are the things you most delight in?
A10024How can ye beleeve, seeing ye seeke honour one of another, and not the honour that commeth of God?
A10024I am strong and well, in good and perfect health, is it likely the evill day is neere me?
A10024If then Gods blessing be all in all, if that onely can administer comfort, and make us happy, I would aske you this question?
A10024In temporall things, who knoweth what shall bee to morrow?
A10024In the dayes of his flesh, who had more good by him than the Publicans and sinners?
A10024Is he the only joy and comfort of thy soule?
A10024It 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?
A10024It is, because their nature is to doe so; Wil you know why a sinful man is subject to affect things inordinately?
A10024Know you not that the love of the world is enmitieto God?
A10024Now what should move us to morifie these earthly members?
A10024Reason?
A10024Secondly, what is meant by earthly members?
A10024Secondly, what is meant by grieving of the Spirit?
A10024So that the men which were converted at Peters Sermon, did aske, What shall wee doe to be saved?
A10024So, what if thy affections be changed from earthly to heavenly things, so as thou dost feele the burthen of immoderate cares cast off thee?
A10024Take the deare Saints of God, and take but this Spirit from them, how would it be with them?
A10024The blessing of the creature( as we call it) is of God: Doth the Lord send any creature to hurt thee?
A10024The first Question is, Whether sinne may not seeme to bee mortified when it is not mortified, but onely asleepe?
A10024The second motive is taken from that of Salomon, A mans spirit will beare his infirmities, but a wounded spirit, who can beare?
A10024Therefore art thou weake?
A10024Therefore try, is thy excessive care constant?
A10024Thirdly, what is meant by quenching of the Spirit?
A10024Wee now come to a third poynt, and that is, what are those things that are to bee mortified?
A10024What is the reason of this?
A10024What is the reason, a man takes to heart the death of his friend, or the like accident?
A10024What, are they earthly things, how to bee rich or honourable?
A10024When is a man covetous?
A10024Whether after true mortification a man may fall into the same sinne againe or no?
A10024Will not a man willingly part with drosse for gold?
A10024Will you know the reason, why Beares and Wolves, and Lyons, carry themselves so cruelly?
A10024Will you perswade men that honie is not sweet, who have tasted of it?
A10024Wilt thou set thine eye on that which is not?
A10024and if thou hast no knowledge of heaven, and heavenly things, how canst thou desire them?
A10024and what is Prayer, but a praying or begging of grace, or for the preservation of grace, and power against corruptions?
A10024art thou cold in holy performances?
A10024endeavour to be humbler and meeker then other men; Is your nature more inclined to desire of gain?
A10024it 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?
A10024no surely, I will therefore goe on still in my sinne; what need I repentance, that am so well in all things?
A10024or what must we not learne Sciences, or must we shew no learning in Preaching?
A10024that is, wherefore art thou so restlesse with mee, that thou wilt have no deniall till I grant thee thy desire?
A10024them he called, them he saved: the poore diseased wretches, how ready was hee to heale them?
A10024when thou art going to hell, who can save thee?
A10024when thou art sicke, who can heale thee?
A10024who is able to know whether the heart be renewed or no, by the speeches?
A537152. is the Case proposed that we have in hand; How shall we that are dead unto sin live any longer therein?
A537156.68, thou must be relieved and saved this way or none; to whom wilt thou goe?
A537158?
A53715A new Sin may be permitted, as well as a new Affliction sent to bring an Old sin to remembrance?
A53715And can I keep my self out of the Dust?
A53715And 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?
A53715And in this case of indwelling Sin, and the power of it, what Frame doth he express himself to be in?
A53715And in what state doth the Prophet Habakkuk affirm himself to be cast, upon the apprehension of the Majesty of God?
A53715And our Saviour tells us what is to be done in this case; sayes he, Do men gather Grapes from Thorns?
A53715And wherein did his folly appear?
A53715Are the the things of the Soul of less importance?
A53715Are they not still in the Gall of bitterness?
A53715As 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?
A53715But how shall a man know whether there be any thing of Gods chastening hand, in his being left to the disquietment of his distemper?
A53715But how?
A53715But suppose a Thorn be well pruned and cut, and have pains taken with him?
A53715But thou wilt say, what ground have I to build such an Expectation upon; so that I may expect not to be deceived?
A53715But why had they not peace?
A53715But you will say, Is not this to perswade men to unbelief?
A53715But 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?
A53715C ● nst thou look without terrour into the Abyss of Eternity?
A53715Can a sadder thing befall thee?
A53715Can sin be killed without an interest in the Death of Christ, or Mortified without the Spirit?
A53715Canst thou complain if it be no otherwise with thee than it was with Heman, that eminent servant of God?
A53715Clearly, perfectly?
A53715Did the sufferings and Temptations of Christ adde to his ability and power?
A53715Do they find a conquest over it?
A53715Doe 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?
A53715Doe I thus requite the Lord?
A53715Does he bid them go and mortifie their pride, wrath, malice, cruelty, and the like?
A53715Dost thou think he will ease thee of that which perplexeth Thee, that thou mayst be at liberty to that which no less grieves Him?
A53715God forbid, how shall we that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
A53715Hadst thou been negligent in Duties?
A53715Hast thou not found thy self engaged in such Wayes, Societies, Companies, and that with delight, as God abhorres?
A53715Hast thou received any eminent Mercy, Protection, Deliverance, which thou diddest not improve in a due Manner, nor wast thankfull for?
A53715Have I defiled the Heart that Christ dyed to wash; that the Blessed Spirit hath chosen to dwell in?
A53715Have I obtained a view of Gods Fatherly Countenance, that I might behold his face, and provoke him to his face?
A53715How doth he doe it?
A53715How doth the Spirit mortifie Sin?
A53715How immense is he in his Nature?
A53715How is that?
A53715How little a portion is it?
A53715How often doth he complain that his bones were broken, his Soul disquieted, his wounds grievous on this account?
A53715How shall I escape, if I neglect so great Salvation?
A53715How shall I hold up my head with any boldness before him?
A53715How shall he then mortifie Sin, that hath not the Spirit?
A53715How shall we do it, who( as he afterwards describes it,) have received Grace from Christ to the contrary?
A53715I will leave them, hide my Face, and what will become of their peace and strength?
A53715If this be the work of the Spirit alone, how is it, that we are exhorted to it?
A53715If we have not some strength to walk with him?
A53715In the mean time, what shall I say to the Lord?
A53715Is it not a little one?
A53715Is it not from the Spirit?
A53715Is it nothing that he should punish, ruine, and undoe others for thy sake?
A53715Is not our understanding brutish in the Contemplation of such things?
A53715Is not this to put men to make Brick, if not without straw,( which is worse,) without strength?
A53715Is their Condition changed, though they attain a Relinquishment of it?
A53715Is their sin at all mortified hereby?
A53715Is this the Return I make to the Father for his Love, to the Son for his Blood, to the Holy Ghost for his Grace?
A53715Know you not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his Death?
A53715Now how is he attained?
A53715Or Vncleanness to defile thy Heart, with vain, and foolish, and wicked Imaginations, for many dayes?
A53715Or strength whilest he smites?
A53715Ought not all our expectations to this purpose to be on Christ alone?
A53715Say to thy Soul; What have I done?
A53715Shall I daily grieve that Spirit whereby I am sealed to the day of Redemption?
A53715Shall I endeavour to disappoint the End of the Death of Christ?
A53715Shall they cease striving against sin, live dissolutely, give their Lusts their swinge, and be as bad as the worst of men?
A53715Sin 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?
A53715Sin, saith he, is crucified; it is fastned to the Cross; to what End?
A53715So did Joseph, How shall I doe this great evil( saith he) and sin against the Lord, my good and gracious God?
A53715They have followed after Mortification, but they have not Attained to it; Wherefore?
A53715They that are Christ''s have crucified the flesh, with the affections and lusts: But how?
A53715Thou settest thy self with all diligence and earnestness to mortifie such a Lust or Sin; what is the Reason of it?
A53715Was it not a Correction to Peters vain Confidence, that he was left to deny his Master?
A53715Was my Soul washed, that room might be made for new Defilements?
A53715We 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?
A53715We have( I say) words and notions about these things, but as to the things themselves, what do we know?
A53715What Promise hath any unregenerate man to countenance him in this work?
A53715What assistance for the performance of it?
A53715What can I say to the dear Lord Jesus?
A53715What do we comprehend of them?
A53715What do ● t thou know of God?
A53715What doth Peter direct them to?
A53715What good will our Lives do us, if we see not the face of God sometimes in peace?
A53715What is his Name, and what is his Sons Name if thou canst tell?
A53715What is to be expected from such an Heart?
A53715What peace I pray is there to a Soul while God hides himself?
A53715What shall we say then?
A53715Whence is the power, life and vigour of Prayer?
A53715Whence its Efficacy to prevail with God?
A53715Whence then do we expect the Spirit?
A53715Who can declare the Generation of the Son, the procession of the Spirit, or the difference of the one from the other?
A53715Who hath ascended up into Heaven, or descended?
A53715Who hath bound the Waters in a Garment?
A53715Who hath established the Ends of the Earth?
A53715Who hath gathered the Wind in his fists?
A53715Who hath promised him to us, having procured him for us?
A53715Who is it that hath walked up to the Knowledge that he hath had of the Perfections, Excellencies, and Will of God?
A53715Who may assume it to himself?
A53715Who should mortifie?
A53715Whom speaks he to?
A53715Why sayest thou O my soul my way is hid from the Lord and my Judgment is passed over from my God?
A53715Why, because in their Address to God they flattered him: But how doth that appear?
A53715Yea, but what if these are in us, and do abound, may not the other abound also?
A53715You will say, What then would you have unregenerate men, that are convinced of the Evil of sin do?
A53715You will say, what are these dangerous Marks and symptoms, the desperate Attendances of an indwelling Lust that you intend?
A53715and cryed out what shall we doe?
A53715and is not the Gospel End of their Convictions lost thereby?
A53715and shall we daily grieve Him?
A53715and wilt thou venture any more to the brink of Hardness?
A53715but who shall have the comfort of this Assertion?
A53715from whom do we look for him?
A53715hadst thou lived inordinately to thy self?
A53715is there the guilt of any great sin lying upon thee unrepented of?
A53715is this all?
A53715or hast been exercised with any Affliction, without labouring for the appointed End of it?
A53715or hast thou been wanting to the Opportunities of glorifying God in thy Generation, which in his good Providence he had graciously afforded unto thee?
A53715or hast thou conformed thy self unto the World and the men of it, through the abounding of Temptations in the dayes wherein thou livest?
A53715shall we continue in Sin that Grace may abound?
A53715what Love, what Mercy, what Blood, what Grace have I despised and trampled on?
A53715what doest thou expostulate with thy self?
A53715what extremity of sufferings did they put themselves upon?
A53715what oft- times are they directed unto, when their Consciences are galled by Sin, and Disquietment from the Lord hath laid hold upon them?
A53715what violence did they offer to Nature?
A53715whence is that?
A53715wilt thou yet weary him, and make him to serve with thy Corruptions?
A05590A bordell Strumpet, and this Publican; To lesson us, what kinde soe''re they be, Turke, Jew, or Arab, Moore, or Mussilman?
A05590A king command''d, a Philosophick man, To shew him, what was God, and what his might?
A05590A noble youth, been askd, whether he went?
A05590A wounded conscience, who can beare that load?
A05590A ● hipwrackt man, cast on some planke to seeke, The safe set land; which got, how glad is he?
A05590Above, else deep beneath, or here below, Thy presence is: Then whither shall I flee?
A05590All kindes of vice, all kinde of lusts they swallow: For why?
A05590And boggy baggage, of a stinking lump?
A05590And if not risen?
A05590And what''s our beauty?
A05590And why?
A05590And will not first, forgive anothers wrongs: How can thou pray, or thinke thy prayer speeds?
A05590And yet vaine Man, he little thinks or dreames, Once of his death, nor what his end may be?
A05590And yet what are our dayes, the longest liver?
A05590As irne in fire cast, takes fires nature, And yet remaineth irne, though fram''d, what than?
A05590At last Christ, in, a humane shape appear''d, Whom she mistooke, and for a Gardner deemd: Said he, Why wepst thou?
A05590But 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?
A05590But what?
A05590Came not kinde Mary?
A05590Can thou forgivenesse crave, for thy misdeeds?
A05590Christ, from the worldly wise and great, kept back These mysteries, which silly ones did see: And why?
A05590Come answer me, who would be undertaker, Whether its best, to be a man or beast?
A05590Convince us, for like riot, and excesse?
A05590Deceive my heart, and move my minde to swell: Or with false lookes, vaine hopes to me unfold?
A05590Dust shall to dust, and earth to earth returne; If I can here, true peace of conscience finde, What losse?
A05590For which; vile worme, how could my lips deny?
A05590God made all things, and God was made a Man, All things he made of nothing; but come see?
A05590His sighs, thus sobd, for groanes, and melting eyes, Were all his words: Or what''s my kindred too?
A05590How fraile was I and fragile, to succumbe?
A05590How gracious then is God?
A05590How long shall wicked thoughts, in me remaine?
A05590How many foes hath man?
A05590How precious were these tears of Magdalen?
A05590How sacred were these teares?
A05590How shall I answer make?
A05590How vaine are frolick youths?
A05590I crosse my crossing armes, on my crost breast, And musing lurks, to looke on humane state; How wretch''d it is?
A05590I mean mans stinking flesh; who can expresse?
A05590I 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?
A05590If 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?
A05590In fortune, or himselfe, each leaving other: He carelesse fled from meanes: If disputable?
A05590Is Christs redemption, fraught with saving bloud: If we have faith in him, if we can pray?
A05590Like so, are troubles, th''whetstone that doth square Stress''d hearts with prayer; humble them most low: Why?
A05590Lithgow, William, 1582- 1645?
A05590Lithgow, William, 1582- 1645?
A05590Looke to Cains murder, how it was clear''d?
A05590May not Philosophers?
A05590May not their Alcoran, serve to condemne us?
A05590My Lord, but spoke, Whom seek yee?
A05590Or sound these deeps, wherein thy counsels dwell?
A05590Shall rich Saturnia, with her cramming gold?
A05590Since 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?
A05590So base neare Sydon borne?
A05590Such as the life''s, so frequently the death, The Divels deceit, prolongs us in delay: Then wouldst thou flee that pestilence?
A05590Such passive moods, are frequent growne, that now Old crazd calamitie, begins to quiver: Both rich and poore, live timerous, and how?
A05590Such sowre flagelloes, are the rods of nature, To whippe the childe of lust, with sound correction: Cause why?
A05590The Aethiopian, Abbasins, the Moore, Aegyptian Gopties; Chelfanes, Georgians, Greeks, Nostrans, Syriacks, Jacobines, what more?
A05590The Lord of glore, my life, my love, my light; VVas he not there?
A05590The heavie stone roll''d back, which fourty men, Could scarce advance; yet where''s my loving Lord?
A05590The 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?
A05590There is no sense in this, that I should slay My silly soule, to crosse my crost desire: Can head- strong passions, mine accounts defray?
A05590They bragge like Butchers, of their beastly deeds, And laugh at cruelty, as at a play?
A05590This world''s a valley, of perpetuall teares, And what''s the Scripture?
A05590Thus pausing too, on long eternall rest, That boundlesse time, which no time can containe; How rich thinke I these soules be?
A05590To be dissolv''d; my soule may mount aboue, To see these joyes, that blesse, that glorious hyre?
A05590To hide me from thy face, what way?
A05590To 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?
A05590To looke for Christ, but could not finde him there; The Angell spoke, and ask''d, Whom would you have?
A05590Tyrus now calld Sur?
A05590Was I not Cephas, lately thought a Rock?
A05590Was I not witnes, to his word, and deed?
A05590We''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?
A05590What am I in thine eyes?
A05590What are our present judgements?
A05590What are the humours, of our foggy braines?
A05590What eyes for grief, should not dissolve in floods?
A05590What fond conceits, in flash- flowne merryments?
A05590What foolish prancks, in gesture, deed, or word?
A05590What frivole fancies, flow from my flowne minde?
A05590What good Aurelius said, the Romane King?
A05590What idle straines, in vaine spent complements?
A05590What ill can Hell devise?
A05590What is this age of ours?
A05590What once was Ilium?
A05590What rapt coelestiall, forceth my desire?
A05590What scoffing squibs, which taunting mocks afford?
A05590What shall I say?
A05590What should I say?
A05590What surging follies, overcloud my minde?
A05590What thou canst know, another doth know more, And what he knowes, is but a glimpsing glance: Who perfect is?
A05590What was he made?
A05590Whilst I conceive mans frailnesse, weake by nature, How wretch''d he is?
A05590Who can expresse, that glory there reveal''d?
A05590Who can thy secret Cabine reach above?
A05590Who here within, this Domicile of dust?
A05590Who rightly weighs, the variable kindes, Of Mortals all, in either death or life?
A05590Why then sick soule?
A05590Why?
A05590With what assurance, then may we all hope, What feare can force, despaire, or yet distrust?
A05590Withoutten man, all things( the truth to scan) Had turnd to nothing; for from one degree God of himselfe, made all things: and what more?
A05590Worlds of examples, I could here denote, As well in ancient dayes, as moderne times: What were these Pagans past?
A05590Wrought by thy Sprite, my souls eternall good: Let mercy plead''gainst justice; Lord, give place?
A05590and how blest?
A05590and might attaine it?
A05590and was not I hard by?
A05590and what hath he made us?
A05590but Drunkards do it?
A05590but a springing well Of gushing teares?
A05590but toyle, and worldlie losses?
A05590dost thou not weep one teare?
A05590fell from thine eyes?
A05590for like crymes?
A05590how art thou stretchd?
A05590how carelesse?
A05590how deprest?
A05590how fraile am I?
A05590how he sunke?
A05590how prone to fall or sinke?
A05590how rich I say?
A05590how weak?
A05590how wondrous is thy powerfull love?
A05590how wretchd?
A05590if I could ponder?
A05590no gift in me is left To doe, to speak, to think, one godly motion; Lord help my wants, for why?
A05590or where?
A05590shall disgrace?
A05590shall my flight contrive?
A05590sweet Christ, what I would have?
A05590the carcasse of disease?
A05590the light of nature?
A05590thou canst dive: If to the utmost coasts?
A05590thou ordaind, that death no flesh should shunne, Cause why?
A05590to spend their prime?
A05590two 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?
A05590weeping to this grave?
A05590what I sought?
A05590what am I, within this house of clay?
A05590what crosse?
A05590what had I beene?
A05590what had my soule seene?
A05590what intent Hath my cross''d soule?
A05590what is the bubling breath of man?
A05590what passion, thus diverts my minde?
A05590what shall I doe?
A05590what springs?
A05590what trash?
A05590what were they not?
A05590when dead, ere rotten?
A05590when poore man misknowes The life of knowledge, reason did infuse; Shall understanding sleep?
A05590where reason?
A05590who can discusse?
A05590whom seekst thou?
A05590within, without him?
A16314Ah fearefull times, what last and worse age of the world is this we are fallen into?
A16314Alas what can a naked man doe?
A16314Alas, what benefit can come by a thing that lies dead?
A16314And dost thou hate sinne, as sinne, bee it never so little in thine eye?
A16314Are the sinnes of others, and the sorrowes of the Church, as sensible and bitter to thy soule, as thine owne?
A16314Are there not many among us which beginne in the Spirit and end in the flesh?
A16314Are thy failings, matter of daily humiliation unto thy soule?
A16314Are thy thoughts which heretofore were loose and ungodly, now bounded within a sacred compasse, and spent wholly on heavenly things?
A16314Art thou inwardly conscionable in the performance of holy duties?
A16314Art thou one whose heart likes well of sinne, though thou canst not or darest not commit it?
A16314Art thou sensible of the dishonour done unto God, and more vexed for that, than for any disgrace or injury offered to thy self?
A16314Art thou watchful against all occasions and temptations of sinne?
A16314But alas, how few regard the voice of conscience, or once hearken to it?
A16314But seeing they who walke after the flesh are dead already, why doth the Apostle say, You shall die?
A16314But why doth the Apostle say if yee mortifie, is it in our power to deprive sinne of its life and being?
A16314But why saith the Apostle here, yee shall dye, and not, yee shall be damned; in as much as that is chiefly meant?
A16314Can a man conquer the devill with a wisedome that is divellish, that hath him for its damme?
A16314Can such glorious things belong to such a wretch and worme as I am?
A16314Canst thou forget thy selfe, and thy particular businesse to lay these to heart?
A16314Canst thou thinke well of thy selfe that hast by nature such a filthy soule?
A16314Conscience speakes to us, as the Lord to Ionah, doest thou well to be angry?
A16314Doe you chiefly attend your spirituall being, and principally affect things in heaven, and not things on earth?
A16314Doe you grieve inwardly for that dominion which the flesh exerciseth over you, lessening the power and practice of sinne all you can?
A16314Doest thou approve of things as they further thy last account?
A16314Doest thou feele thy selfe grow and increase in the wayes of holinesse?
A16314Doest thou love righteousnesse it selfe, as righteousnesse, bee the thing and subject of never so small a nature?
A16314Doest thou order every passage of thy life, by direction out of Gods word?
A16314Doest thou rejoyce alwayes to be crossing and thwarting thy selfe in those succours, and supports of sinne which thy corruption suggests?
A16314Doest thou see greater excellencies in them than in thy selfe?
A16314Dost thou loath nothing more than thy former spirituall bondage?
A16314Dost thou wel to be thus carnall and earthly, thus eager upon the world, thus cold and indifferent in holy duties?
A16314Doth it chide and reproch thee of thy waies?
A16314Doth the streaming fountaine deny water to the thirsty traveller?
A16314For 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?
A16314Had his conscience beene dull and hard, what security would have crept upon him?
A16314Hast thou a secret dislike of thy naturall estate?
A16314Hast thou been long kept under by some customary vice, against which thou hast resolved, and resolved, but canst not prevaile?
A16314Hast thou begun to repent?
A16314How 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?

A28553Will a man rob God?
A28553Will he delight himselfe in the Almighty, will he alwayes call upon God?
A28553Will hee heare his cry, when trouble commeth upon him?
A28553Will they fortifie themselves?
A28553Will they make an end in a day?
A28553Will they sacrifice?
A28553Will ye speake wickedly for God, and talke deceitfully for him?
A28553Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God?
A28553Work iniquity] What?
A28553Wouldest thou not be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant, nor escaping?
A28553Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar: and yee say, wherein have we polluted thee?
A28553and how tender are we of it, and how doe we listen, when we heare another mention it?
A28553and is not the Lord among us*?
A28553and shall not God avenge his owne elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he beare long with them?
A28553and upon this City?
A28553and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?
A28553and, Who is the son of Jesse?
A28553are we not Christians?
A28553are we not called by his name?
A28553as if hee had spoken the whole thus; Doe yee sleep, as if you were secure against, and as if you would expose your selves to temptation?
A28553asked them, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉; who hath bewitched you?
A28553could yee not watch with mee one houre?
A28553doe all these great things, and yet work iniquity?
A28553for Jesus his being the Christ is so plain a truth, that I may say, Who is a Lyar, if he be not, that denieth that Jesus is the Christ?
A28553for Peter told Saphira, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the spirit?
A28553for if he, who takes away the life of the body, be punished in the same manner; why not also he, who takes away the life of the Soule?
A28553for what sinne could there be in in eating of a little fruit, unlesse God had commanded them to the contrary?
A28553from God, or from men?
A28553hath he not made thee, and established thee?
A28553have not we Gods ordinances amongst us?
A28553his answer was quid est occidere?
A28553just as if we should say,( as doubtlesse many do thinke, though they doe not say it) Are not we of the Church of England?
A28553ne obstupescas, lest thou be astonished( shall I say?)
A28553or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
A28553prudent,& he shall know them?
A28553seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee?
A28553smite they doe both; only secretly,& publickly, is all the oddes; and what is that with God?
A28553then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
A28553where it is said, Who hath sorrow?
A28553wherefore have we aflicted our soule, and thou takest no knowledge?
A28553wherefore when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
A28553who hath babling?
A28553who hath contētion?
A28553who hath sorrow?
A28553who hath wounds without cause?
A28553why are you not rather defrauded?
A28553† Which I believe is the English of 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 in Lutine, rapaces, Quis in rapacitate avarior?
A65821( and if they do not, they shall never be saved; for none are saved, but they inherit the Kingdom of God) Who are they?
A65821( saith the Apostle) don''t you?
A658211, Hath God cast off his people?
A658219,) that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God?
A65821Ai, but( my Brethren) what are seven thousand to a whole Kingdom?
A65821And I pray you scoffers, is it not as easie a thing to conceive how God should burn the world, as drown the world?
A65821And did they believe?
A65821And he laid hold on the Dragon that old Serpent, which is the Devil and Satan, and bound him: Where?
A65821And if you say why do I give you this notice?
A65821And is it not so now?
A65821And then again God tells us of the Resurrection of our bodies; How is it possible it should be so?
A65821And were not you desperately blind and foolish, you would do so too?
A65821And what''s here meant by Spirit?
A65821And what''s the prison?
A65821And when you were hungry, and had no bread, did God ever rain bread down from heaven to you?
A65821Are you blind?
A65821Are you weak?
A65821Are you yet in your sins?
A65821As God said of the old world: Here is a wicked people, What shall I do with them?
A65821Being put to death in the flesh: Who put to death?
A65821But did not you hear it read, and had it preached to you?
A65821But did they do so?
A65821But for thee to go on in sin, and reject pardon when offered: What canst thou say for thy self?
A65821But 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?
A65821But one Elijah in a whole Ten Tribes?
A65821But was God loth to drown them?
A65821But what became of the whole Nation?
A65821But what did they do with it?
A65821But what did they do?
A65821But why, you poor sinners, why do not you believe that God is in good earnest now?
A65821But( pray) what became of the other Tribes that were under the tutilage and government of the Posterity of David?
A65821But, saith he, if you are ignorant of this one thing; you are wilfully ignorant: VVhat is that?
A65821By which Spirit?
A65821By whom?
A65821Did God ever bring ten Plagues upon your enemies to deliver you from them?
A65821Did God ever in a danger that you have been in, make a Sea for you to pass through, and your life saved?
A65821Did not God drown them all?
A65821Disobedient to whom?
A65821Do you think that they do n''t deserve your thoughts?
A65821Does God give thee abundance of the glory of the earth?
A65821Every human body hath his Tenant: What''s that?
A65821First, What are these Prisoners?
A65821For what reason do I think that by Spirit is here meant the Holy Ghost?
A65821Fourthly, What''s the Crime( having discoursed of the Prison)?
A65821Fourthly, What''s the cause of their commitment?
A65821Had not you a Bible?
A65821Hast thou a mind to have Grace?
A65821Hast thou a mind to have the Spirit of Grace and Supplication?
A65821Have you no time to think of them?
A65821Here is a talk of his coming, but here is no Christ come; when will this Trumpet sound?
A65821Here now was some ground for them to plead, and yet though God did this; did he love Israel so, that he would not destroy them?
A65821How does Baptism save us?
A65821How few do repent upon their seeming profession of repentance, and believing?
A65821How few of you have been a hammering upon this Ark?
A65821How few reform their lives?
A65821How long?
A65821How wilt thou do it?
A65821I will not let them go, saith Pharaoh; why who is your God, that I should obey him?
A65821I''le tell thee, thou scoffer, and walker after thy lusts, Dost thou not know that God once drowned the world?
A65821If any should enquire why, or who call''d me to interpose these few rude lines?
A65821If you ask where he had Money to do all this, he lived frugally himself?
A65821In the opening of it, there are these things I shall speak to; First, What are these Prisoners?
A65821In whom?
A65821Is it the office of Charity to further mens delusion and damnation?
A65821Is 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?
A65821Look in the glass of the Christian Church, and then tell me, how many among us are like to be saved?
A65821Nay, when thou hast provoked him to wrath more than the Devil, dost thou think he will spare thee, and not an Angel?
A65821No, No, you will believe none?
A65821No?
A65821No?
A65821None of them?
A65821Now, Secondly, Thou hast deserv''d it, sinner; thy crime deserves it: What is the crime?
A65821O sinners, What will you do?
A65821Put to death in the flesh, What''s that?
A65821Put to death in the flesh, by whom?
A65821Put to death in the flesh, by whom?
A65821Say you so?
A65821Secondly, How are these Prisoners carried away to their Prison?
A65821Secondly, What is it to be quickned by the Spirit?
A65821Sirs, This, this is the case of multitudes of our neighbours; and what would you have a Minister to do in such a case?
A65821Sirs, tell us as Christians, or at least as men, what faith, and reason, and humane love command us to do in such a case?
A65821So 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?
A65821So then the rich man is in hell; how so?
A65821That you believe not God that speaks by his Son, and by his Prophets?
A65821The Question will be, What is the reason that men will not believe?
A65821Thirdly, What is this preaching?
A65821Thirdly, What''s this prison?
A65821Thou art his Creature?
A65821To whom?
A65821To whom?
A65821Turn ye, turn ye, why will you die?
A65821VVell, and thus they argue, saying, Where is the promise of his coming?
A65821VVhat do they scoff at?
A65821VVhat if God appeareth upon a Mount, and speaks signally, will you believe now?
A65821VVhy do these men scoff at it?
A65821VVhy, do you think there are any such here, that are of such a mind?
A65821VVhy, what are they?
A65821VVill you believe by a Christ?
A65821We will begin at the First: First, What it is to be put to death in the flesh?
A65821Well now, say you, What shall we do?
A65821Well, But what shall we say of our selves?
A65821Well, but is it just for God to damn me thus eternally in a prison, because I will not repent of my sin?
A65821Well, but whether must I go?
A65821Well, what became of these Ten Tribes?
A65821Well; but say you, Did Christ by his Spirit preach to them after they went to Hell?
A65821Were they damned for that?
A65821Wh ● ●''s the Crime?
A65821What Spirit is here?
A65821What a whole Kingdom of ten Tribes, and but seven thousand saved?
A65821What a whole world drowned, and but eight saved?
A65821What a wonderful blessing was this, for the great God to marry himself to a people?

A65821What had God done for this people?
A65821What had they said in his ears?
A65821What have they done with the Prophets of the Lord?
A65821What if God may have seven thousand in England to keep Covenant with God?
A65821What if God speaks by a Moses, will you believe?
A65821What if God speaks by a Noah, will you believe?
A65821What if twenty thousand?
A65821What immediately?
A65821What is it damns me then?
A65821What is the reason of all this?
A65821What is the reason of it, why wo nt you believe?
A65821What is the reason that you do not believe?
A65821What man that really was in his wits, and did believe a Hell, would venture upon those sins that will certainly bring him thither?
A65821What now became of this People?
A65821What then?
A65821What then?
A65821What was dead?
A65821What was it then?

A65821What,( I pray) was the old World?
A65821What?
A65821When God brought Israel out of Egypt, did God ever work such Miracles for you, as he did for them?
A65821When you are in Prison, if it be for debt, How can you get out?
A65821When you were thirsty, did God ever bring water out of a Rock to quench your thirst?
A65821When?
A65821Which were they?
A65821Who can speak too plainly or too earnestly to such?
A65821Who went?
A65821Why I did not believe my sin would bring me there?
A65821Why should he not( notwithstanding all his goodness) damn such a rebel as thou art, as well as damn an Angel?
A65821Why were no more saved?
A65821Why what did the rest do?
A65821Why what did the rest do?
A65821Why what were their sins?
A65821Why, What are your poor bodies( for which you labour so much), in a compare to your souls?
A65821Why, but how many of this Kingdom did so?
A65821Why, did Christ the Son of God preach to the old world before he came in the flesh?
A65821Why, did not Ministers tell you so?
A65821Why, did not Moses and the Prophets tell thee so?
A65821Why, did the Spirit appear in visible shape?
A65821Why, if God spared not an Angel, dost thou think he will spare a man or woman?
A65821Why, say you, Why is Hell call''d a prison( for these poor spirits to be laid in)?

A65821Why?
A65821Will you believe the Apostles?
A65821Will you believe us that speak?
A65821Will you believe?
A65821Will you imitate the old world, or imitate Noah?
A65821Will you not be made clean?
A65821Would you have us let them quietly go to hell, for fear of displeasing them or others, or seeming to be unmannerly or uncivil with them?
A65821Would you have us stand by in silence, and look on, while Satan thus leadeth thousands to perdition?
A65821Would you have us whisper to men that must be awakened or undone for ever, whom thunder and lightening will not awake?
A65821Yes, How?
A65821a making this Ark?
A65821and do you presume still?
A65821and had not God bowels to them, as well as to you?
A65821and had not they Children as well as you?
A65821and they are sent of Christ to tell you so?
A65821could you have thought you should live so long, and not be cut down like dead trees for the fire of Tophet?
A65821for how few do believe what we preach?
A65821hath not God said he will?
A65821hath not Moses and the Prophets told you so?
A65821how simply dost thou cheat thy self?
A65821should not you find a father that would fall upon your neck, and kiss you, as well as the prodigal did?
A65821should we flatter and smooth them up in an unholy life, what thanks would they give us for this ere long, when they find themselves in hell?
A65821so sinners, you go on in sin, why do you so?
A65821these that had the Oracles, Covenant, and Promises among them?
A65821to perswade men to cease loving their lusts, which will else damn their souls?
A65821were not they men and women as you?
A65821what do you do?
A65821when shall it once be?
A65821who can believe this, when we can hardly live fifty or threescore years, How can we be alive for ever and ever?
A65821why what is he?

A39932And then, what can they be other, than Idolaters?
A39932And then, where( I pray) lies the absurdity?
A39932And therefore, Why doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sin?

A39932And what do many in the whole course of their lives, more than trifle about somewhat, which is indeed nothing to any purpose?
A39932And what do these mean by their going to Church, and joyning in publick Prayers, and hearing of Sermons, and receiving the Sacraments?
A39932And what is his way, to cheat the World, and gull men of all they have, worth saving or losing?
A39932And what is that?
A39932And what manner of Ministers are they, who are so much expos''d to quarrels?
A39932And what need we any more witnesses, to convince and condemn these men?
A39932And what one among all those seems more incredible and irrational, than the Resurrection?
A39932And what reason, I pray, is there in this case, more than in those?
A39932And what way is it?
A39932And 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?
A39932And why is all this adoe?
A39932And why?
A39932And why?
A39932And why?
A39932And will any man say, That such an obdurate Sinner, is therefore the more excusable?
A39932And will he not( think you) make good his Word, and execute his own Lawes?
A39932And will not the Lord say thus one day?
A39932And will this( think you) excuse them?
A39932And will you not then obey, and submit?
A39932And wilt thou say yet, that God hath not given it thee ▪ to return to him?
A39932And with what face can they plead, That if they had known the good, and the right way, they would have walked in it?
A39932And yet were offended at him, as appears in the next words: Is not this Joseph''s S ● n?
A39932And yet what adoe is there, to make them heed or learn any thing that good is?
A39932And yet who dare say, that the faithfull and godly among them, all that while, had no communion with God?
A39932Annòn sibi sunt Conscii?
A39932Are 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?
A39932Are these practices becoming them, that pretend so much to Godliness, and would be thought more ex ● ellent than their Neighbours?
A39932Are they not inclin''d to set up themselves, in opposition to God, upon any occasion?
A39932At another time, when some said, This is the Christ; others said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
A39932But how can a man act, so as to intend his action, according to that whic ● he knows not, nor doth ever consider of?
A39932But how shall that enmity and wilfullness be removed?
A39932But how, and upon what terms?
A39932But if there be a God( such as we believe) in what a case will he be, at the great day of account?
A39932But may not they say, Lord, if we had walkt by that light, it would not have serv''d for our everlasting salvation?
A39932But some will reply and say, Who denies or questions this?
A39932But what of all this?
A39932But what then?
A39932But when is it?
A39932But who are the one, and who the other, who can say?
A39932But why did the Pharisees deride our Saviour?
A39932Can a dead man raise himself to life again?
A39932Can not servants work to please God, and their Masters too?
A39932Can the Aethiopian change his skin, or the Leopard his spots?
A39932Can there be pleasure in sinning for a moment, when the pains of Hell will be endless, and intollerable?
A39932Can you be such bruitish sots, as not to know, that the World to come will be quite another thing than this present evil World?
A39932Canst thou be so unreasonably negligent about thy Soul, when thou art so uncessantly, and excessively carefull of every other, the least concernment?
A39932Canst thou do thus, and for the Joy set before thee endure the Cross, and despise the shame?
A39932Cast away all your transgressions,& c. for why will you die?
A39932Cast away from you all your transgressions,& c. For why will you die?
A39932Did any of them do thus, and let all the care of their Salvation lie somewhere else, without ever looking after it?
A39932Did the Iews want any means, whereby they might know him to be, as he was indeed, the promised Messiah?
A39932Did they know by immediate and extr ● ordinary Revelation, before they repented and believed, that they were of the number that should be saved?
A39932Do not Turks and Iews condemn all Christians to the Pit of Hell?
A39932Do not Turks and Tartars know the God of the Christians, and blaspheme him?
A39932Do not these men proclaim Gods commands to be their principles, and yet contradict them in all their practices?
A39932Do they not then, as the Mariners, cry every man to his God?
A39932Do 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?
A39932Doth not every man find it so, or might he not, if he would?
A39932Doth not the Apostle lay the ground- work and foundation of* all Religion, upon the Resurrection?
A39932Else, Why do they say their Prayers, and begg of God their daily bread?
A39932Fasting and beating down their bodies?
A39932First, I''le suppose the Scandall to be indeed reall: What then?
A39932For I may now ask all who complain, What is lacking to them more?
A39932For he gave him sufficient powe ● and strength to stand, if he would, and was 〈 ◊ 〉 this enough?
A39932For how can a man apprehend God aright, without apprehending him infinite?
A39932For may not God answer, What''s that to you?
A39932For seeing God can do whatever he will, why are not they also converted?
A39932For suppose God to be wanting in any thing necessary on his part for our salvation, may not a condemned sinner justly reply thus?
A39932For the intention of God, and Christ, what is that to me, or any man else, seeing it is secret?
A39932For then ho ● shall God judge the World?
A39932For wha ● is it that makes and constitutes the Church?
A39932For 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?
A39932For what danger can there be, in saying indifferently, what Scripture saith often in terminis, and so pressing all to believe on him?
A39932For what do many wicked wretches ha ● e, and scorn, and persecute now?
A39932For what is Gods way the worse, because such and such have turn''d aside from it?
A39932For what is this more, or better, than the enmity that is in their hearts against God, and his wayes?
A39932For what will they say, other than this?
A39932God forbid that we should procure to our selves the damnation of our own souls?
A39932God requires no more than he gives; Now God hath not given me to Repent,& c. and what can I do?
A39932Hath God will''d thee to be doing, all thou canst, for thy present Subsistence, and nothing at all for thy everlasting Salvation?
A39932Hath not every sin somewhat of this in it?
A39932Hath 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?
A39932Have I been wanting to you?
A39932Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge,& c?
A39932He doth indeed order and over- rule thee ▪ in all thou dost: How else should he be, what he is?
A39932He had done indeed some miracles( they could not deny it) in curing some poor, sick and leprous persons: But what were these?
A39932He 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?
A39932He is the Judge of all the Earth, and will not he do right?
A39932Hence I am bold to ask, Who are the veriest fools?
A39932Here 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?
A39932How apt are all men, even from the Cradle, to close with, and run after the toyes and vanities of this World?
A39932How can Children be thankful, but in being dutiful to their Parents?
A39932How can it be otherwise?
A39932How can we be obedient to God in any thing, but that which we know to be his will?
A39932How could they refuse, if there were no provision made for them?
A39932How could we help it?
A39932How did he yield upon occasion, to avoid offence to the weak?
A39932How else shall he quit himself, and shew that he is above you?
A39932How many a Sinner hath parted with his life for his lusts sake?
A39932How 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?
A39932How must they not one day be without all excuse, even upon this account?
A39932How often hath Conscience stood, as the Angel did in Balaams way, with a drawn sword in his hand, to turn them back again?
A39932How 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?
A39932How should a beast understand the things of a man, and how much less can a man understand the things of God?
A39932How should they be otherwise?
A39932How then can it be said, That God hath sufficiently provided for all?
A39932How then had they a sufficiency of means?
A39932How was Israel divided, abou ● the way of worshipping God, after the re ● ● made by Ieroboam?
A39932How would men have God to save them?
A39932I ask whether such a Servant may not justly be made to suffer?
A39932I 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?
A39932I know God hath a Soveraign power over the hearts of all men, but what then?
A39932I 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?
A39932I make no account of meriting at the hands of God?
A39932I shall ask them, Whether God may not take the same liberty, that men do many times, and yet are no way questioned for it?
A39932I wish men would but question themselves sometimes about such matters, and say to their own Souls, What ayles me?
A39932I wonder men are not ashamed to ask, How the enmity of their hearts against God shall be removed?
A39932I ● it not hearkning to, and obeying the voice o ● God in his Word?
A39932If God be so willing, that men should repent and believe, why do they not repent and believe?
A39932If I be a Master, where is my fear, saith the Lord of Hosts unto you, O Priests, that despise my Name?
A39932If any ask, What is to be done in the case?
A39932If any say, That some have never heard of Christ, and then how can they believe on him, of whom they have not heard?
A39932If it be said, Man had never fallen at first, if God had not left him to himself?
A39932If then I be a Father, where is mine honour?
A39932If 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?
A39932If 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?
A39932If you desire to know, which of them?
A39932In a word, They like not the Doctrine, and how should they be pleased with him that brings it?
A39932In destroying those who have had all means sufficient to save them, and willingly rejected all, because they did not like them?
A39932Is it indeed, because they are so bad and base, as you would make them?
A39932Is it not enough, to make them inexcusable, that they hear, where Life and Salvation is to be had?
A39932Is it not the life of holiness, and power of Godliness; such as was in the Saints of old?
A39932Is it not your delight and pastime to do wickedly?
A39932Is it nothing to thee, what becomes of thee to all Eternity?
A39932Is 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?
A39932Is not every wicked man free, in making all the opposition that he can, against the means of his conversion?
A39932Is not this the son of Ioseph?
A39932Is not this to quit our selves, and cast all the blame upon God only?
A39932Is that a ground sufficient to say, I will never goe in the way, that such pretended to?
A39932Is there any man alive, of whom any other can, or dare say, This is one of them, for whom Christ dyed not?
A39932Is there profit in destruction?
A39932Is there so much as common sense, in saying, Why should I do what''s good and right ▪ when others do not?
A39932Is this according to their profession?
A39932It 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?
A39932Luc 13.23, 24,& c. Then said one unto him, Lord, Are there few that be saved?
A39932May not he take, and use his liberty, in the dispensing of his own gifts, specially when he leaves none without witness?
A39932May 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?
A39932May not we do with our own, as we will?
A39932May we not therefore say, Have they not heard?
A39932Must he be tied up, and bound to terms, such as we our selves would not?
A39932Nay but O man, who art thou, that repliest against God?
A39932Nay moreover, what if there was this in it too, that if they had had more light, they would have done as they did?
A39932Nay, do not lewd and vicious persons cry out against others, that they are not, what they seem to be?
A39932Nay, doth not the Spirit in us, lust towards dethroning him, that he may have no command in the World?
A39932Nay, 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?
A39932Nay, 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?
A39932Nay, 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?
A39932Never 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?
A39932No, 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?
A39932Now canst thou, or dar''st thou say, that God hath not given thee time, and space to Repent?
A39932Now it being thus with us, whose fault is it, if we perish, and die in our sins?
A39932Now may I not say of these, Have they not heard and known?
A39932Now what absurdity is there in this?
A39932Now what doth this signifie?
A39932Now what shall we think of these men?
A39932Now whose fault is it, that thou lovest thy sins?
A39932Now, how often doth God clear himself, and cast all the blame of mens destruction upon themselves?
A39932Now, 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?
A39932Now, what have you to say against this?
A39932Or 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?
A39932Or hath he left it to thy Choice, whether thou wilt do any thing, or nothing at all?
A39932Or if any man do it, may it not justly and rationally be said to him, as Elihu spake unto Iob?
A39932Or 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?
A39932Or is it their fault, that it abides upon them?
A39932Or is subjection and service to be denied by others, because some Servants and Subjects are not so good as they should be?
A39932Or justly perish only for refusing?
A39932Or 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?
A39932Or what could he do for them?
A39932Questionless he will; else how shall he clear himself in condemning the wicked world?
A39932Rather, have not you wronged your selves, and been sinners against your own Souls?
A39932Read the Scriptures once more, and see, if there be nothing commanded thee in order to this?
A39932Set 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?
A39932Shall any of the damned( think you) ever have cause, or just occasion to quarrel God in this manner?
A39932Shall not these be witnesses against you?
A39932Shall not they( think you) be your Judges?
A39932Shall the thing formed, say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
A39932Suppose thou canst not so much as read a Chapter, what hinders, that thou dost not hear others read?
A39932Sure many of them( the more pity) are profoundly ignorant of the very first Principles of the Protestant- Religion?
A39932Tell me, Did''st thou ever pray, or praise God so, as thou durst expect acceptance, upon thine own account?
A39932That the gate which leads to life eternal, is strait, and the way narrow?
A39932The 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?
A39932There 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?
A39932These are our own concernments, and why should we give others an account of them?
A39932These be your great Professors, say many: But who?
A39932They 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?
A39932They are condemn''d for their sinfull neglects, and not improving their talents: And is not their condemnation just?
A39932They 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?
A39932They 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?
A39932They will say, Why should we be bound to them?
A39932This clears him; and dare any man say or think, that our Saviour meant otherwise than he spake?
A39932This is an hard saying, who can hear it?
A39932Thou vain foolish man, thinkest thou, that any Religion can be worse than thine?
A39932Was Christ the worse, or the less to be esteem''d, because Peter denied and forswore him?
A39932Was it because there was not light enough in the Sun of Righteousness, that so many did not see it?
A39932Was it not in his heart( think you) that Ierusalem was the only cause of her destruction?
A39932Was it not in the way of Repentance towards God, and Faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ?
A39932We can not indeed break his yoak from off our necks: But would we not break it off, if we could?
A39932Wh ● dare say, that Gods Word and Spirit are no ● sufficient to instruct us in all things necessary ▪ and to lead us into all truth?
A39932What Sign shewest thou, that we may see, and believe?
A39932What a difficulty is there in gathering up a mans thoughts and affections in duty, and keeping a strait hand upon them all the while?
A39932What could have been done more, that I have not done?
A39932What did you know of what might, or would be?
A39932What do they then, in their thus magnifying the Saints of old?
A39932What else is their meaning, when they pretend, as they do, so much love and good liking to God, and the wayes of his Commandments?
A39932What 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?
A39932What inference( think you) will Infidels, and ungodly prophane men make from it?
A39932What iniquity have you found in me?
A39932What is it to me, or any others, what God will, or will not do, in case we do our utmost with what we have?
A39932What kind of question is this?
A39932What 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?
A39932What knowest thou, that they may not recover themselves, and come to repentance?
A39932What reason then is there, in making the wayes of God to suffer for the faults of those that pretend to them?
A39932What should he have done more for them?
A39932What think you?
A39932What was it to him, whether his light would serve for all his Masters work?
A39932What will men make of God?
A39932What would men have of God ▪ Or what they make of him?
A39932What would not they have given, to have recovered the time which they had mis- spent?
A39932Where are there two men in all the World, that are of one mind in every thing?
A39932Where do you read these things, or who told you so, that others may learn and know as much as you?
A39932Who are the Parties appeal''d unto in that case?
A39932Who believed not?
A39932Who dare say, that God hath made but a scanty provision for our salvation?
A39932Who hath formed a God,& c?
A39932Who hath not read, or heard what hazards the first Reformers ran, and what despightfull opposition they met withall?
A39932Who is this Jehovah; I pray, that I must be commanded by him?
A39932Who then shall bear the blame, but themselves?
A39932Who were they?
A39932Why did not you that which was your duty to do, in using what I had given you?
A39932Why do they dress, and plow, and sow their Land, and never question, what God hath decreed about the harvest?
A39932Why do they not frequent the company of those, who will admonish them upon all occasions, and advise them about ordering all their wayes?
A39932Why do you slight, and set at naught, scorn and deride the wayes of God and godliness?
A39932Why dost thou make us to doubt?
A39932Why dost thou strive against him?
A39932Why dost thou then talk idly, of what thou hast done and suffered?
A39932Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?
A39932Why so?
A39932Why( I pray you) do you so much magnifie the Sain ● ● of old, who are now in Heaven?
A39932Why,( Sirs,) they were all of them holy men, that led their lives on earth, as becommeth Saints?
A39932Will a man be at cost and ● ains to serve and feed his lusts, and he not love ● hem?
A39932Will he commend and reward all, according as they all perswaded themselves, that their way was good?
A39932Will 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?
A39932Wilt thou wilfully prosecute thy sinful designs and courses, and set thine heart upon ● hine iniquity, and say, Thou canst not turn ● rom it?
A39932Would he( think you) invite so many guests, if he knew not before hand, that there is entertainment enough for them all?
A39932Would they be saved in such a way, as if a Block should be lifted from the Earth, and carried up to Heaven?
A39932Would you have God to decree and effect the conversion of all and every one, whether they will or no?
A39932Would you have God to make him unchangeable?
A39932Yea, and presently after th ● Gospel was published, how did Sects arise an ● swarm in every corner of the World?
A39932Yea, and why even of your selves judge ye not what is right?
A39932Yea, 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?
A39932Yea, the Devil himself, in all his doings, is within the compass o ● Gods counsel; else what sad work would h ● make in the world?
A39932You can not say, There is no balm in Gilead, there is no Physician there: Why then is not your health recovered?
A39932and are we inclin''d by nature to any thing else?
A39932and do we not thus?
A39932and to this day, how impatient are many of some kinde of Preachers and Preaching?
A39932how long did the Roman Heathen Emperours persecute the Faith of Christ, in the preaching and profession of it?
A39932spen ● and waste all, and come to beggery; can an ● man justly say, the Father did not his part for h ● ● Sons good?
A39932they askt, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
A39932what would you have of them?
A39932what would''st thou have?
A39932why thou dost not forsake thy wicked ways?
A39932yea 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?
A39932yea hath he not waited long for thee?

A10659Secondly, what a foolish thing it is to be Gods enemies, as every man is that continues in sinne without returning unto him?
A10659Shall I requite evill for good to the hurt of mine owne soule?

A10659The members may be weary of serving their law, but is the law of the members weary of quickning or commanding them?
A10659The third Question is, Whether sinnes of ignorance may be raigning sinnes?

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?
A4278110. describes him by these neglects of Duty, Will he delight himself in the Almighty?
A4278141. while some were convinced and said, This is the Christ, others said, shall Christ come out of Galilee?
A427819. Who can know it?
A42781A Proud Heart will readily say, our Tongue is our own, or who is the Lord?
A42781A tedious task?
A42781Am I a Sea, or a Whale, that thou settest a Watch over me?
A42781Among the Papists what less can be expected, when the same principle is entertained among them?
A42781And can you think to break away from me so easily?
A42781And then he Queries, Art thou such an one?
A42781And then to what purpose( say they) is Prayer, or any endeavours?
A42781Are not these unreasonable injunctions, Pray continually, Pray without ceasing; Preach in season and out of season?
A42781Art thou not grown stupid, and senseless of all the hazards that are before thee?
A42781Art thou not ready to tax him for dealing thus with thee?
A42781Art thou that Prophet, and that Man ordained to Judg the World?
A42781As David said to the Woman of Tekoah, Is not the hand of Joab with thee in all this?
A42781At what a loss is an unskilful Travellour, where so many wayes meet?
A42781Besides( saith he) thou knowest the secret thoughts that thy Heart is privy to, do they not boyl up in thy Breast against God?
A42781Besides, who can tell how much of God''s restraining grace may ly in this, of God''s limiting and straitning Satan''s Commission?
A42781But Enquiry may be made, When do men run( uncalled and) unwarrantably upon Temptation?
A42781But I have done so, and yet the Temptation is the same, and still continues?
A42781But O how sadly is all this hindered by the disquiet of the Heart?
A42781But how few are there that do thus know?
A42781But how happy would it be for Men, if such failures of expectation might better inform them?
A42781But how is it consistent with Truth that the Temptation should continue, when James tells us, that Satan will fly upon Resistance?
A42781But it will be said, Satan pretends to this Rule, and it is Scripture that is urged by him?
A42781But some( possibly) may say, Is it our Duty to sit still in such a case?
A42781But the great Question is, What is this fear that is forbidden, and the Courage which is enjoined?
A42781But the great difficulty is, how it may be known when Temptations are from Satan, and when from our selves?
A42781But what occasioned all this?
A42781But when we come to an impartial consideration of our manifold weaknesses and insufficiences in reference to these Services, what shall we say?
A42781But who then inflames and stirs up the Heart to this Wickedness?
A42781But you will say, Must all Men be confident of Adoption?
A42781But( 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?
A42781But( may some say) If I judge such a motion to be a thing lawful, which doth proceed from Satan, What am I to do?
A42781By this means he may widen the distance betwixt God and us, keep our Wounds open, make us a reproach to Religion: And what not?
A42781Can Christ lodg in an Heart so full of horrid Blasphemies against him?
A42781Can God prepare a Table in the Wilderness?
A42781Can the Gifts of Enemies pass for Courtesies and Favours with any, but such as are bewitched into a blockish madness?
A42781Can we reckon how often Satan hath been at this work?
A42781Canst thou deny this?
A42781David resolved, and strenuously endeavoured, to possess his Soul in Serenity and Patience,( for what could be more, than solemn engagement?
A42781Did I not compel Peter to deny his Lord, notwithstanding his solemn profession to the contrary?
A42781Did I not force those that were stronger than you?
A42781Did I not make David number the People?
A42781Did I not overcome him in the matter of Uriah?
A42781Did the Heathen erect Images and Pillars, or keep the Ashes and Shrines of their Daemons?
A42781Did the Heathen expect more particular aids from some of these Daemons in several cases than from others?
A42781Doth he not carry a Design in his Mind for Months and Years against us?
A42781Doth he not come again and again, with often and impudently repeated Importunities?
A42781Eightly, Satan urged some of them in a during provoking way; If thou be the Son of God?
A42781Every Christian should say, shall such an one as I fly?
A42781First, 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?
A42781First; Whether Satan knows our Thoughts?
A42781For can it be imagined in good earnest that Satan intends us a real good?
A42781For who can alter his Decree?
A42781For who can easily bear the noise of Satan while he shouts continually into their Ears odious Calumnies, and Blasphemous Indignities against God?
A42781For why should God look upon thee more than another?
A42781God himself owns it as a natural impossibility, Can the Ethiopian change his skin?
A42781God''s question concerning Job, Hast thou considered my Servant Job?
A42781Had the Heathen their Feasts, their Statas ferias to their Daemons?
A42781Had the Heathens their dead Hero''s for Agents''twixt the supream Gods and Men?
A42781Had they any more Holiness than they needed?
A42781Had they their Februalia& Proserpinilia with Torches and Lights?
A42781Hath the Lord forgotten to be Gracious?
A42781Have any of the Rulers, or of the Pharisees believed on him?
A42781Have they been able to rescue themselves?
A42781Have those that have gone before you been able to deliver themselves from me?
A42781He clave the Rock, but can he provide Flesh?
A42781He complains as one utterly forsaken, Why hast thou forsaken me?
A42781He 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?
A42781His Interrogation, Will the Lord cast off for ever,& c?
A42781How astonishingly doth Spira speak to this purpose?
A42781How canst thou deny this?
A42781How come Men to put on a savage Nature, to act the part of Lions, Leopards, Tigars, if not much worse?

A42781How couragiously did they suffer the sharpest Torments?

A42781How fair do they lye open to any conceit that may serve this end?
A42781How fitly doth he resemble us to Children?
A42781How frequently did the Prophets tax the Jews for this, that they fasted to themselves?
A42781How frequently is this seen among Professors, where the Word hath a searching power and force upon them?
A42781How grateful and welcome the confident proffers of ease and satisfaction are to a tossed and disquieted mind any Man will easily imagine?

A42781How is Satan pleased to labour in a Design that will kindle the Wrath of the Almighty?
A42781How like a Convert did Saul look, after David had convinced him of his integrity, and had spared his life in the Cave?
A42781How little can a sickly Body do?
A42781How many have I known, that have been tortured with these Texts, judging their Estate fearful, because of their wilfulness in sinning?
A42781How many have apostatised from Truth( being terrifyed by the urging necessities of danger) contrary to the highest Convictions of Conscience?
A42781How many mournful examples have we of this kind?
A42781How many things do common Juglers by the swift motions of their Hands, that seem incredible?

A42781How shameful and abominable were the Lives of John of Leyden, and the rest of those German Enthusiasts?
A42781How slyly and secretly doth he put us upon what he intends as a further snare?
A42781How suddenly are all things changed?
A42781How weak and childish are Sinners that suffer themselves thus to be abused?
A42781I said I will look to my ways, and what endeavours could be more severe, than to keep himself as with Bit and Bridle?
A42781I see sin is a strong in me as ever?
A42781If Art can do all this, how much more may we suppose can Satan do?
A42781If Men give way to this, what reason can be imagined to stand before them?
A42781If 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?
A42781If all these particulars be weighed, what presumptuous act can be propounded by Satan which Pride may not lead to?
A42781If any put that Question to him, which the Jews did to Christ; By what Authority dost thou these things?
A42781If any question, how can these things be?
A42781If any yet further enquire, how he can do these things?
A42781If but few are saved, a thousand to one thou art none of them?
A42781If it be demanded, How and by what Arts he renders the Means so plausible?
A42781If it be questioned, What Satan''s Authority is?
A42781If 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?

A42781If the Shallow Brooks be too strong for us, what shall we do in the swellings of Jordan?
A42781If these Priviledges and Mercies will not discourage Satan, what will?
A42781If thou beest indeed such as he testifyed, give some proof of it?
A42781If 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?
A42781If 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?
A42781In Popery nothing hath been more ordinary; who knows not the Story of the Holy Maid of Kent, and the Boy of Bilson?
A42781In 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?
A42781In the Apostles times, how quickly had the Devil broached false Doctrine?
A42781Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress?
A42781Is it not Satan?
A42781Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to enquire of Baalzebub?
A42781Is it possible it should be Washed and Sanctified, when it produceth such filthy cursed thoughts?
A42781Is not here the Voice of a despairing Man?
A42781Is not this Scripture?
A42781Is not this thy fear, thy Confidence, thy Hope, and the uprightness of thy ways?
A42781Is not thy Heart hardned to everlasting destruction?
A42781Is there any sorrow like to my sorrow?
A42781Is there knowledg in the most High?
A42781It is not a toile?
A42781Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be Reproabates?
A42781Let it( I say) be left to the consideration of Men, how it should be, without some such extraordinary Cause as hath been mentioned?
A42781Lord, why castest thou off my Soul, why hidest thou thy Face from me?
A42781Many such fits David had, and in them, complained at this rate, Why hast thou forsaken me?
A42781My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A42781Nay 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?
A42781Now, albeit there are arguments at hand, and serious considerations to deter us from practice, yet how are all laid aside by a quick resolve?
A42781O Fiatres adjuvate me, nepeream, nonne vid ● tis Daemonum agmina, qui me debellare,& ad Tartara ducere festinaut, quid hic astas cruenta bestia?
A42781Of the same extract is that old song of the Papists, Where was your Religion before Luther?
A42781Or the Maximum quod sic; the highest degree of sin, consistant with true Grace?
A42781Or, If I have, what is that to you?
A42781Or, what will become of me?
A42781Quis est ille Deus, ut serviam illi?
A42781Satan goes on: What greater evidence can there be of an hardned Heart, than Impenitency?
A42781Secondly, But in things doubtful, where there is not a clear certainly, what is Truth?
A42781Shall we Sin, that Grace may abound?
A42781Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
A42781Shall we think it strange that Satan hath ways of conveying false apprehensions upon Mens minds?
A42781Sixthly, All this might be futher proved by Instances: What Temptation can be named wherein Satan hath not acted as a Serpent?
A42781So here is also an evident respect to God''s Testimony concerning, Christ, as if he had said, hath God said, thou art his Son?
A42781So may we say, is not the hand of Satan with thee in every Sin thou committest?
A42781So that if Adam in Innocency understood the Nature of Things, how much more exactly and fully must we imagine Satan to know them?
A42781Solomon''s exclamination, a wounded Spirit who can bare?
A42781Some make enquiry what may be the difference betwixt a wounded Spirit, in the Regenerate and the Reprobate?
A42781Some may possibly question, Whether all extraordinary Agonies of Soul, upon the apprehension of eternal Damnation, be not the fruits of Melancholy?
A42781The 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?
A42781The Devil suggests, Can God be faithful, and never keep Promise for help?
A42781The Heart is deceitful above all things: But why is the deceitfulness fixed upon the Heart?
A42781The Heavens are not clean in his sight, how much more abominable and filthy then art thou?
A42781The Scripture affords enough of this nature, as the Boast of Nebuchadnezzar; Is not this great Babel that I have built?
A42781The Wrath of God expressed to the Conscience, brings the greatest Terrour; Who knows the power of thine Anger?
A42781The acknowledgment of the Witches Power,[ Why hast thou disquieted me?]
A42781Therefore 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?
A42781These if they meet with Pains or Troubles,( and who can challenge an exemption from them?)
A42781Thirdly; That Malice must needs be great, that will pursue a small matter: what small game will the Devil play, rather than altogether sit out?
A42781This disorder of Thoughts Christ took notice of in his Disciples when they were in danger, Why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
A42781This may put Men upon enquiries, who are ye for?
A42781This was the Voice of Pride in Pharaoh, Who is the Lord, that I should serve him?
A42781Thou canst not mourn enough?
A42781Though I speak, my Grief is not asswaged; and though I forbear, what am I eased?
A42781Thus he pleads it; Can any thing be more plain, than that thou hast eaten and drunken unworthily?
A42781Thus he urgeth it, Can any thing be more plainly and fully asserted?
A42781To 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?
A42781To what purpose is the multitude of your Sacrifices?
A42781Upon this supposition, that these Texts speak of wilful sinning in the General; How little can be said against Satan''s Argument?
A42781Upon this the Devil starts the question to his Heart, whether it be not better to forbear all Duty, and to do nothing?
A42781Was he real in that command, that you should not Eat at all,& c. the like he doth to Christ, Is it true?
A42781Was it that Satan thought to prevail against him?
A42781We can scarce imagine what ways he hath to divert and hinder them, by what private discouragements he doth defer them, who can tell?
A42781Were 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?
A42781Were we free, what Calling would we not rather chuse?
A42781What Songs of rejoycing had they?
A42781What a fit of affection had the Israelites when their Eyes had seen that miraculous deliverance at the Red Sea?
A42781What a stupifaction are our Spirits capable of?
A42781What better have the Familists, and Libertines of New and Old England been?
A42781What can Humility, Modesty, and sense of Guilt, speak in such a case?
A42781What could be more the Devil''s design, and Esau''s satisfaction, than to have had Jacob slain?
A42781What duty is there that is not neglected or defiled?
A42781What expectation could he have to prevail against him, who was Anointed with the Oyl of Gladness above his Fellows?
A42781What fear and jealousie must this produce?
A42781What greater hinderance can there be to Conversion, than Errour?
A42781What grief of heart?
A42781What have I do with thee?
A42781What is Christian Reproof, if it be not rightly suited to season, and opportunity?
A42781What is this untowardness, but desperate obdurateness?
A42781What progress then in this work of delusion might be expected, when they were all removed out of the World?
A42781What rages, outrages, Madnesses, and extravagances have Men run into?
A42781What shall we say of these things?
A42781What shall we say to these things?
A42781What strange answers Spira gave to those that pleaded with him?

A42781Why did I not give up the ghost, when I came out of the belly?)

A77976Alas 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?
A77976All my glorious Attributes shall work against you; as if God should say, Is there any thing in me can make you miserable?

A77976And if Sin be to evil, what an evil case are those men in, who be so full of sin?
A77976And is there not evil in this?
A77976And now you that have heard of the great evil of sin, will you ever open your mouths to deminish and excuse sin?
A77976And so when they spend whole daies in drinking and eating, why?
A77976And 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?
A77976And there shall stand up a VILE Person: Now who is this Vile Person that the holy Ghost speaks of?
A77976And 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?
A77976And to what end?
A77976And what a companie of most miserable wretches have we in this world?
A77976And what is the evil of a Tree?

A77976But how doth this appear?
A77976But how is this in every Sin?
A77976But it may be said, Is that Lawful for a man to abstain from sin out of self respects?
A77976But now it was by the Finger of God: well, Christ calls them to him, and said, How can Satan cast out Satan?
A77976But out of what do those worms breed?
A77976But what wil you say if I convince your consciences that this is in your bosoms, that you have been guilty of this sin?
A77976But 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?

A77976Can not you do this as well as others?
A77976Certainly if Sin be all that which you have heard, or read, well might the Holy Ghost say, A wounded spirit, who can bear?
A77976Certainly men in waies of sin never say, Oh Lord, what have I done?
A77976Certainly there is this in sin, for if you account not your waies more equal, why chuse you them?

A77976Doth he cry for this?
A77976Doth this make them go with a holy boldness to God, and Challenge Gods Promise, because I have committed such and such a sin?
A77976Fear none of these things you shall suffer, behold the Devil shall cast some of you into prison: why?
A77976For what is holiness but grace?
A77976God bad him go and meet Ahab, and say, What hast thou killed, and gotten possession?
A77976God speaking with indignation?
A77976Guilt, what is that?

A77976Hast thou nothing to rejoyce in but sinning against the Almighty?
A77976Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a Devil?
A77976Hence it follows, that nothing that is good should be ventured for sin, why?

A77976Who 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?
A77976Who is there but is guilty of resisting the motions of the Holy Ghost?
A77976Who would acknowledg in the way of sin they despise God?
A77976Why abodest thou among the Sheep- folds to hear the bleatings of the ● locks?
A77976Why can not man be saved by any Savior but such a one as must be verily and truly God and man?
A77976Why doth Christ speak of this, how comes it in?
A77976Why hidest thou thy face from me?
A77976Why persecutest thou Me?
A77976Why what doth it do?
A77976Why( might Saul say) Lord, have mercy upon me, is this such rebellion?
A77976Why?
A77976Why?
A77976Why?
A77976Why?
A77976Why?
A77976Why?
A77976Will you venture to commit sin for a groat or six pence, if there be so much opposition against God in it?
A77976Wilt thou break thy bounds in sinful waies to get out of affliction?
A77976Would you fain break your hearts for sin?
A77976Yea, now will God say here is somewhat done, when sinners cries come up to heaven; what hath been doing in this Congregation?
A77976You make Conscience of Superstition because sinful, and is not this Sin, as well as that?
A77976You will say, How can the delivering up to Santan be for the saving of the soul?
A77976and dost thou not account more the hazard of thy own soul?
A77976and how miserable is their condition, in that regard; who have given up themselves to follow Sin with greediness?
A77976and is this my way?
A77976and it should be answered every one of them murthered himself; were it not an object of pity?
A77976and my flesh of Brass?
A77976and not to keep his Commandements, but goest on in waies of sin?
A77976and so much ado?
A77976and such a womans Womb?
A77976and the soul of thy brother?
A77976and the strength of their Souls in serving God, that they need so much refreshing?
A77976and the tortures so sore?
A77976and 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?
A77976and what hurt hath God done to thee that thou shouldest be so malicious against him?
A77976and what if I were now to stand before God?
A77976and whether am I a going?
A77976and who is there almost but makes the mercy of God in some degree or other Serviceable to his lusts?
A77976and yet how ordinarie is this in the world?
A77976and 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?
A77976are not your hearts more hard than before?
A77976are you not more greedy upon Sin than before?
A77976art thou happie in the enjoyment of this?
A77976as if he had said, Lord, I did not think I had to deal with thee, who art thou Lord?
A77976because poison is sweet, and comes to be suitable because of the sweetnesse?
A77976but little or nothing for my sin; Oh what shall become of this heart of mine?
A77976but, How shall I do this and sin against God?
A77976cozened and cheated, and gotten possession?
A77976did not David commit Adultery& Sin, that was a man according to Gods own heart?
A77976do not I everie day, nay every hour almost in the street, see hundreds of people, I would be loth to change conditions withal?
A77976do not many live in high esteem in the World by sinfull courses?
A77976do not you account your selves wronged when he dares set his will before yours?
A77976do they make for the good of the bodie?
A77976do you reckon this a good voyage?
A77976dost thou think this was the only end?
A77976doth not God make my condition a thousand times better than many hundreds that live neer to me?
A77976for the sins of thy Familie?
A77976for we can not see into your consciences?
A77976hast thou gotten out of prison by sin?
A77976hath he not made all Creatures for his glory?
A77976hath time worn it away?
A77976have your hearts troubled in such a manner as you may give glorie to God?
A77976he broke his Conscience, what is the matter?
A77976he comes and saith, Saul, Saul, Why persecutest thou me?
A77976he will be drunk, and unclean, and break the Sabbath, and who dares controule and speak to him?
A77976heretofore your hearts were never stirred after Christ, what is the matter?
A77976how can Christ be rightly lifted up and advanced in our souls without a right sight and sence of sin?
A77976how durst they sit so stupidly under the powerful awaking means of Grace?
A77976how else could such vile thoughts be cherish''d, and such cursed practises and principles maintained?
A77976how else durst men chule sin rather than affliction when they are brought into streights?
A77976how manie in woful straits and extremities, for the Bodie?
A77976how otherwise are men more afraid of open shame than of secret sins?
A77976how sweet, and precious, and dear will Christ be to such a Soul?
A77976in all that ever they did in all their lives, yea, their best actions; how full of sin be those?
A77976in one sin?
A77976is it anie way likelie and probable, but that I must follow, when as they be there for the sins I brought them to?
A77976is it not that height of wickedness that I speak of?
A77976is it only to eat and drink, and the like?
A77976is not God a merciful God?
A77976is not God infinitely worthy of all glory and honor in the world?
A77976is one spark of the wrath of God upon the soul so terrible?
A77976is that from grace?
A77976is the Devil come to be a Pursevant, or an Officer, or to give Warrants to cast into prison?
A77976it is not so great an evil, if it may be thus wash''t away?
A77976look back to thy former life, and think how hast thou spent it?
A77976lyed, and gotten possession?
A77976made another drunk and laughed at it?
A77976meerly at his will?
A77976nay, for the dog to love us?
A77976never an oath sworn?
A77976no excess in the Creature in drinking?
A77976no mervail though the Devil himself be called the god of this World; why?
A77976no ribaldry talking?
A77976none but Christ, none but Christ; what would become of all your souls, if it were not for Jesus Christ?
A77976not, How shal I do this great wickedness, and bring danger and miserie upon me?
A77976or a side wind?
A77976or made some others commit sin and laugh at it?
A77976or not half so much filled as they are, when they carrie you upon the rocks and sands?
A77976rejoyce at sin?
A77976shall I cut off his head?
A77976shall I go and send him down to his own place?
A77976shall sin be so great a burden to Christ, and wilt thou be so merry under it?
A77976shall they be in ▪ Hell for the sins I brought them to, and shall I escape?
A77976such 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?
A77976than of thy Goods?
A77976that by it all these Truths are over ballanced?
A77976that ever he lived in that Familie where thou livedst?
A77976that must have every one of these Particulars made good to the full?
A77976that sweat drops of water and blood, which you see was the fruit of Sin?
A77976that thou canst bear the weight and burden of so many, and such horrible transgressions as thou hast been guiltie of?
A77976that thou venturest thy eternal estate upon?
A77976that thou wilt dishonor him, and strike at him?
A77976they do but rejoice in the use of the Creature; and may they not keep Companie with such men that be honest men?
A77976they must have recreation?
A77976they were once glorious Angels, more glorious Creatures than men and women, but what is it that should make them devils now?
A77976to be unfaithful, and stubborn, and stout; if you make Conscience of one sin, why not of another?
A77976to satisfie them to the full?
A77976to stop or turn in the waies of Sin?
A77976to what purpose had the world been made?
A77976was that melancholly?
A77976was there not a loud crie in my Ears and Conscience, as from God, that I should stop in my sinful waies and courses?
A77976was this Gods end?
A77976what a difference between the Nature of God and thee?
A77976what a wretched Creature should I be if ever this corrupt heart of mine should prevail against me?
A77976what abundance of wickedness was committed by Youth then?
A77976what am I a doing?
A77976what good is in this?
A77976what hast thou done in all thy life?
A77976what hath my life been against that infinite, glorious, eternal first- Being of all things?
A77976what is God, if not better than a base lust?
A77976what is it the world hath to draw thy heart from the strength of all these Truths delivered in these Sermons?
A77976what is the matter you come crying for Christ?
A77976what is the matter?
A77976what is the matter?
A77976what is the matter?
A77976what is this?
A77976what need so much preaching?
A77976what scorning and contemning of his Word and Sacraments and Ordinances?
A77976what service do they do for God wherein they spend their Spirits?
A77976what shall I do with this heart of mine, thus hardened from the fear of the Lord?
A77976what shall the Accessarie be condemned and executed, and shal not the Principal?
A77976what shall then become of my soul, if ever I come to answer for my sin my self?
A77976what trouble may come by this if I hearken not to this?
A77976what 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?
A77976what was the effect of that glory Christ gave to the Saints?
A77976what will become of me?
A77976what?
A77976whether art thou going?
A77976whether ever God will call after you any more?
A77976whether ever you shall hear the Word more?
A77976who can pitie them that die eternally, when as they love death?
A77976who hath put a difference between you and them?
A77976who hath told thee any thing?
A77976who hath told you anie thing?
A77976who told you this?
A77976why cry you more than before?
A77976why should all the blood shed from Abel to that time, come upon that Generation?
A77976why stir you so?
A77976why wilt thou die?
A77976wil sin bring confusion upon the whol Creation?
A77976will you not do this, you may do worse?
A77976wilt thou lose God, Heaven, and Christ, and al for that which hath no good?
A77976with what a Spirit of magnanimitie did they come to their sufferings?
A77976with whom?
A77976would not all your joy be gone?
A77976would you goon in your mirth still?
A77976would you have the Son merrie, when the companie imbrue their hands in his Fathers blood?
A77976would you not rather have a half wind?
A77976would you not rather have your sails down?
A77976wouldst not thou say it is time for me to be gone now?
A77976you had such and such thoughts of it heretofore, what be your thoughts of it now?
A77976you 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?
A5968513. came to nothing in their growth of seeming faith and sanctification; was the fault in the seed?
A5968515. extenuate his sin to Samuel?
A5968523. which is rebellion, and as the sinne of witchcraft; and is that a small matter?
A5968532.1, 2, 3, 4. what was the rejoycing of Paul?
A596857. a promise given that Syria should not prevaile against Iudah: they doubted of this, how doth the Lord seek to assure them?
A596858.15, 16. and what are we the better for this Spirit?
A596859.1, 2. what said he?
A5968590. Who knowes the greatnesse of his wrath?
A59685A filthy lust, a base harlot hath had thy whole heart, and dost thou think the Lord Christ will have it divided?
A59685A man will not bee afraid of a Lyon when it is painted only upon the wall, why?
A59685A wounded spirit who can beare?
A59685And doe you think the Lord will in the light of conviction imprison it up in the mind?
A59685And 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?
A59685And hence are those many complaints, What have I to do with Christ?
A59685And hence questions, Can the Lord pardon such a wretch as I, whose sinnes are so great?
A59685And hence the soule can not but come, and when t is come it can not depart, like Peter, Lord, whither should we goe?
A59685And hence the soule in lying downe, rising up, lyes downe and rises up with perplexed thoughts, What will become of me?
A59685And 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?
A59685And is not this matter of great consolation to all those who feele themselves utterly unable to beleeve?
A59685And is this the worst the Lord aimes at, and will you not be thankfull?
A59685And shall not this bring you home?
A59685Are not we loved with the same love as he hath loved Christ?
A59685Are the Scriptures his Word?
A59685Are we troubled with too many wounded consciences in these times, that we are so solicitous of coyning new principles of peace?
A59685As 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?
A59685As for example: dost want any temporall blessing?
A59685As 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?
A59685Ask them, Have you any grace, change of heart,& c.?
A59685Away proud begger, dost think to be lord of what I have?
A59685Because of the glory of Christ, that the Father may be glorifyed in the Son: can not Christ be glorifyed unlesse he heare all prayers?
A59685But how shall I know when the whole soule comes to Christ?
A59685But how should this be done?
A59685But how?
A59685But if you aske, What is that sense of sin, and what measure of this is necessary?
A59685But is there any beleevers heart so knit unto Christ, but that there is a heart also after other vanities?
A59685But is this our life, in these evill and luke- warme times?
A59685But what evill in sinne doth the Spirit morally affect the heart with, and so physically turne it from sinne?
A59685But what have I to doe to come, that am so poore, and empty, and full of woes, and wants, and sinnes?
A59685But what word might some say is this?
A59685But why hath the Lord made thee feele thy inability to beleeve?
A59685But you will say, Can this glory be thus great?
A59685But you will say, Did not many come to Christ that were never saved by him?
A59685But you will say, Doe not many mens soules come, are not many mens hearts moving towards Christ, and yet excluded from Christ?
A59685But you will say, How should we come to him?
A59685But you will say, In what measure doth the Spirit communicate this light?
A59685But 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?
A59685But you will say, What is this compunction, and wherein doth it consist?
A59685But you will say, Wherein should I expresse this humiliation and subjection?
A59685But you will say, how doth the Lord thus convince sin, and wherein is it exprest?
A59685But you will say, what is that sin which the Lord first convinceth of?
A59685By the whole you are not to understand such as have no need indeed of Christ( for what sinner but hath need of him?)
A59685By this you have continuall righteousnesse; what dost thou complaine of dayly?
A59685By what meanes doth the Lord worke this?
A59685Can any man have eternall life, that not only hath not the benefits flowing from the Sonne, but that wants the Son himselfe?
A59685Can it stand with his honour to put up so much wrong?
A59685Can sin condemn?
A59685Can the Spirit make the one cleare to you, and not the other?
A59685Can this be so?
A59685Christ hath the tongue of the learned given him to speak a word in season; Unto whom?
A59685Christ is made righteousnesse and sanctification, unto whom?
A59685Christ shed his blood to save his people from their sins, thou livest yet in thy sins, did hee ever shed his blood for thee?
A59685Consider why the Lord calls thee, is it because hee hath any need of you to honour him?
A59685Consider, who it is that doth call you; is it Man or Ministers think you?
A59685Cry, saith the Lord; what should I cry?
A59685David professeth, his teares were his meat day and night, verse 3. and his heart was wofully sunke and fallen, yet what doth hee?
A59685Did not one sinne cast them out of favour utterly?
A59685Did not the Lord make him heare the voyce of joy by Nathan?
A59685Did the Lord ever shew mercy or favour to the Angels that sinned?
A59685Doe?
A59685Dost thou think that Christ should ever wipe off thy teares that sheddest none at all?
A59685Dost thou think therefore, that there is spirituall life where ever there is any sense?
A59685Dost thou thirst after Christ?
A59685Doth he say he feeles his sinnes now all removed?
A59685Doth it not grieve you that you can not glorifie God in your times and places?
A59685Doth it not imply a contradiction, to be turned toward sinne,( which is ever from Christ) and yet to be turned toward Christ together?
A59685Doth not God pick out the poore and vile things of the world, to be vessels of glory?
A59685Doth the Lord require no more of me, but to come?
A59685For how is it possible to be turned unto Christ, and yet then also to be turned to sinne and Satan?
A59685For what is the end of conviction?
A59685For what was the ground on which those 3000 beleeved?
A59685Fourthly, what is that measure of compunction the Lord workes in all the elect?
A59685Hath the Lord said absolutely that he is yours?
A59685Have not you great cause of abundant thankfulnesse, into whose hearts the Lord hath let in feares and sorrowes, concerning your estates?
A59685How can they beleeve without a Preacher?
A59685How is that?
A59685How many bee there that beleeve in Christ, that they may live as they list?
A59685How shall a Christian therefore live by Faith?
A59685How, and where should my soule come to Christ, who is now absent from me?
A59685However, 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?
A59685I 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?
A59685I am the man, my conscience now teares me and tells me so, what will become of me?
A59685I 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?
A59685I 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?
A59685I 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?
A59685I pray you what is this worke?
A59685I say so too; but how would you have the Spirit of Christ enable you to come?
A59685IF the Question be, What is that happy condition they are made partakers of?
A59685If it be here demanded, What are those particular sins which the Lord convinceth men of?
A59685If our soules were in the third heaven with Christ, who of us would then doubt of our portion in him?
A59685If therefore the soules of all the elect feel a want of both, doth not Faith come to Christ for both?
A59685If we aske Peter the question, to what end the Lord hath called us out of darknesse into his marvelous light?
A59685If you aske Moses, after all the love and kindnesse the Lord had shewne Israel, what Israel should doe for him?
A59685If you aske Paul( as Evangelicall a Christian as ever lived) what now we are to do when we are in Christ?
A59685If you can have Christ, and be ambitious too, take him; but how can you beleeve till the Lord hath broken you off from thence?
A59685If you further aske, How the Spirit works this loosening from sinne in the work of compunction?
A59685If you here aske, how the Lord makes sin reall?
A59685In doing much for him, and that willingly; did not Jacob love Rachel?
A59685In speaking and commending of him: is it possible that any man should love another and not commend him, not speak of him?
A59685In the time of affliction( which is usually the time of conviction of a wild unruly sinner) he shews them their transgressions, but how?
A59685Is it not because the Lord will have it so?
A59685Is it not some boldnesse to sinne; that they walke not in feare, and therefore not in the consolation of the Holy Ghost?
A59685Is it not some decay or guile here?
A59685Is it not the internall word of the Spirit onely?
A59685Is it not their secret dalliance with some known sinne, continued in with secret impenitencie?
A59685Is it that this knowledge should like froth float in the understanding, and be imprisoned there?
A59685Is it thus with thee?
A59685Is not Christ, that good, the tearme to which the soule is firstly called?
A59685Is not sanctification the writing of the Law in our hearts, a speciall benefit of the covenant of grace as well as justification?
A59685Is not sense of wants one main thing?
A59685Is not sin and world, that evill, the t ● arme from which the soule is called?
A59685Is not the act of beleeving wrought by a creating power?
A59685Is not the torment and shame of the Reprobates to be exceeding great and grievous?
A59685It is God that justifies, who shall condemne?
A59685It is said, Christ will send the Comforter to convince of sinne; is it a comfortable thing to see sin?
A59685It 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?
A59685It 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?
A59685It shall be a glorious body, it shall rise in honour, saith Paul; and what glory shall it have?
A59685Iust as it is with the loadstone drawing the iron, who would think that iron should be drawn by it?
A59685Just so it is in Faith; Aske an humbled sinner, Why doe you beleeve?
A59685Labour not for the meat that perisheth, what should be the end of their labour then?
A59685Lord, Whither should we goe?
A59685Many aske, how should I come to Christ, seeing that I have no promise belonging to me?
A59685Many have been nibling lately at this doctrine, and demand, What need is there of sorrow and compunction of heart?
A59685May not the consideration of this be of great consolation to those that want assurance, and therefore thinke they have no faith?
A59685Men and brethren, what shall we doe to be saued?
A59685Mine iniquities are too heavy to beare: Why so?
A59685Nay how many be there that mourne out their mournings, confesse out their confessions, and by their owne humiliations grow more senselesse afterward?
A59685Nay 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?)
A59685Nay, suppose the Spirit works any good in thee, yet is it not polluted by thy unclean heart?
A59685No man can come to me, unlesse the Father draw him; and how doth the Father draw any man, but by this call?
A59685Nothing is so vile as Christ to a man unhumbled, and can you so easily prize him, and taste him, without any casting downe?
A59685Now the comming of the soule to Christ, what is it but faith?
A59685Now the soule is glad to enquire of the Minister, Oh tell me, what shall I do?
A59685Of exhortation; Labour for this sense of misery, this spirit of compunction: how can you beleeve in Christ, that feel not your misery without him?
A59685Oh Ierusalem wilt thou not be made cleane?
A59685Oh beloved its a sad thing to heare such questions and such cold answers, also that sanctification possibly may be an evidence; may be?
A59685Oh 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?
A59685Oh 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?
A59685Oh 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?
A59685Oh what a priviledge is this?
A59685Oh you that live under precious meanes, and have many feares, you may perish and be deceived at the last; But why doe you feare?
A59685Samuel for a time could not convince them of their sin, herein, what doth the Lord doe?
A59685Shall not our glory be to s ● t out the glory of Christ?
A59685So I may say, who knowes the greatnesse of this favour and love?
A59685So much compunction or sense of sinne is necessary as attaines the end of it: now what is the end of it?
A59685Solomon took great content in women, but what saith he when the Lord humbled him?
A59685Sometimes it questions, Can God forgive sinnes so great?

A47542But may be some may say, Could not the Law effect it?
A47542But may be you will say, Is there no Hope, no Help for us?
A47542But perhaps some may object, Is not this Doctrine a Legal Doctrine?
A47542But pray, Brethren, what do they lose who sell their Souls to the Devil, as it were, for the sake of their brutish Lusts, or out of love to Sin?
A47542But shall there not be an end of the Torments of the Damned?
A47542But should it be an Evangelical good Conscience, and they be sincere Christians; What of this?
A47542But since you did not that, why should I trust you with more?
A47542But was Cornelius a Believer, and justfied before he heard of Jesus Christ, and had Faith wrought in his Soul?
A47542But what Gift of the Holy Ghost is it which these Persons are said to have a taste of?
A47542But what a Salvation was that?
A47542But what a severe Judgment in the day of Conscience did poor Spira and Child pass upon themselves for their Iniquities?
A47542But what is intended or meant by it here?
A47542But what is meant by Christs Fan in a spiritual sense?
A47542But when is that?
A47542But why is it impossible for these to be renewed unto Repentance?
A47542But, Secondly, Who may be said to neglect it?
A47542But, alas, what can reach or be compared to the State of condemned Sinners?
A47542By Nature Man is dead in Sins and Trespasses; and how can he have Communion with a living Christ without a Principle of Life?
A47542By way of Reprehension: Brethren, what Fools be they who value this World above the World come?
A47542By what you have heard, you may try your selves: O see, have you these Characters, these Marks of Christ''s Sheep?
A47542Can God remit my Sins that are so great?
A47542Can a Man shew greater Love to a Woman, than to espouse her to be his Wife?
A47542Can a Worm, or an Ant bring forth a Man, sooner than Flesh?
A47542Can a dead Man quicken himself, or be raised to Life, without a vital Principle be infused into him?
A47542Can any Man do this, can he raise himself?
A47542Can any Man think that his own personal inherent Righteousness, can either justify or save him; or that the Apostle Peter means any such thing?
A47542Can he account the Length of Eternity?
A47542Can he measure the Breadth of the Heavens?
A47542Can he sound the Depth of the Sea?
A47542Can he translate himself out of the Power of Darkness, into the Kingdom of God''s Son?
A47542Can he, by any Power God hath given him, quicken himself, or raise himself from the Dead?
A47542Can his Righteousness justify me, be made mine?
A47542Can it stand consistent with his Wisdom, to suffer his own Eternal Counsel to be frustrated?
A47542Can such perish that have received the Earnest of Heaven, and have the Witness of the Spirit, and have it sealed to them?
A47542Can that stand consistent with his Infinite Goodness and Wisdom?
A47542Can the Members be lost that have such a Head?
A47542Can there be greater Folly, Madnes or Cruelty than this?
A47542Can these fall away?
A47542Can they quicken themselves?
A47542Can this Expression intend any thing more or less, than in the room or stead of his Friend, or die for them?
A47542Can this stand consistent with the Wisdom and Goodness of Jesus Christ?
A47542Can you bear the Wrath of God?
A47542Can you think any Person can have more hatred to you, than to wish you had no Being?
A47542Can you wash away your Pollution, will Snow- water do it?
A47542Canst thou be contented without it, or give over minding it, and trouble thy self no more about it?
A47542Canst thou come to the uttermost of what God is?
A47542Canst thou find out the Almighty to perfection?
A47542Canst thou find out the inmost Recesles or Secrets of God''s Heart, of Christ''s Heart?
A47542Chaff is of very little worth or value unto Wheat: What is the Chaff unto the Wheat, saith the Lord?
A47542Christ calls Sinners to him; may be you will say, What is it to come to Christ?
A47542Christ exceeds all Mothers; Can a Woman forget her sucking Child, that she should not have compassion on the Son of her Womb?
A47542Christ is said to take away the Sin of the World: What World is that which Christ takes away the Sin of?
A47542Christ knows our Fears, our Straits, our Temptations, our Wants, and all the Wrongs and Injuries we have sustained: Is not this matter of Consolation?
A47542Christ was manifest to take away Sin, to dispossess Satan, and will he let Satan take Possession again?
A47542Could not the keeping the Precepts, the Law of the Ten Commandments do it, nor the Sacrifices of the Law procure Salvation for us?
A47542Dare any of you think that this Salvation is but a small Matter, and that you need not trouble your selves about it?
A47542Dare they affirm that?
A47542Death Natural, Death Spiritual, and Death Eternal, are the Wages and Desert of Sin: And who will deny a Servant his Wages?
A47542Did Christ die for me to redeem me?
A47542Did Christ in Person speak from Heaven to Men on Earth, and make known to them this Salvation?
A47542Did Man, fallen Man, deserve this Love, this Favour, who was become an Enemy to God?
A47542Did ever any Person that was naturally dead, say he was dead, cold, or unsensible?
A47542Did ever any Sinner throw himself at his Feet as a poor lost and undone Creature, and take hold of him, that was rejected?
A47542Did he give his Son, purchase Grace; and will not the same Love engage his Power to preserve and perfect it in us?
A47542Did he not feed on the Husks which the Swine did eat?
A47542Did not Christ know that the Angels had Charge over him, yet was he less careful of his own Preservation?
A47542Did not God absolutely tell Paul, that he had given him the Lives of all that were with him in the Ship, and that none of them should perish?
A47542Did not Simeon by the Holy Ghost say, that this Child( speaking of Christ) is set for the Fall, and rising again of many in Israel?
A47542Did not our Hearts burn within us, while he talked with us, and opened the Scriptures?
A47542Do but your part, and you are redeemed: What is that?
A47542Do not they reproach the Son of God after this manner, Why wast thou so unwise to shed thy Blood to purchase Salvation for us?
A47542Do the certain Grounds of Hope of obtaining the Victory, tend to make a Souldier remiss and careless when engaged in the Battel?
A47542Do these Men think Christ''s Soldiers can expect the Victory, and not fight?
A47542Do wicked Men account Believers to be made the Righteousness of God in him?
A47542Do you fear to offend God, to grieve the Spirit?
A47542Do you groan most under the sense of Sin, and want of Holiness; or under the presages and fear of Hell and Damnation?
A47542Do you make it your chief Business to get an Interest in Christ?
A47542Do you minister unto them for Christ''s Sake?
A47542Do you not defer Soul- Concernments to another time?
A47542Do you plead the Power of your own Wills, to repent one while, and that you wanted Power at another time, and that I gave you not my special Grace?
A47542Do you prefer the Means of Salvation above all things in the World?
A47542Do you see a loveliness in Holiness?
A47542Do you want Health, and would you be freed of all your Diseases and Sickness for ever?
A47542Do you want Peace?
A47542Do you want Strength?
A47542Do you want Weapons and Armour to ingage your Enemies?
A47542Do you want a great Portion?
A47542Does God make use of an improper Metaphor?
A47542Does Sin render a Man miserable?
A47542Does he say, that thou wilt fall one time or another?
A47542Dost thou want Faith, or more Faith?
A47542Doth Jesus Christ rule and reign in thee by his Spirit?
A47542Doth he expect to reap where he hath not sown, and gather where he hath not stromed?
A47542Doth he hold us in his Hand, carry us in his Bosom, nay, engrave us on his Heart, and will he forsake us?
A47542Doth not the Scripture say, that those who are born again, are not born of the Will of Man, but of God?
A47542Doth not this prove, that such who have real Union with Christ may eternally perish?
A47542Doth not this seem to interfere with your Exposition of the Attainment you mentioned last?
A47542Doth nothing satisfy your Souls short of God and Jesus Christ; and it is as well a Likeness to him as an Interest in him?
A47542Doth the Covenant of Grace made with Christ, respect his Person only?
A47542Doth the Power of Grace appear in your Hearts and Lives?
A47542Escape what?
A47542Examine your selves, whether you have not, or do not neglect this Salvation?
A47542Find out the immediate Cause of his Displeasure and Wrath that is ready to break forth against thee, and cry out, What have I done?
A47542Fourthly, No Power can supersede God''s Decree, nor obstruct Jesus Christ in his compleating the Whole of his Work: I will work, and who shall let?
A47542Fourthly, Why are the Saints compared to Wheat?
A47542Fourthly, Why doth and will Christ give Eternal Life to all his Sheep, to all his Saints?
A47542God shall not reign over us, we will not be under his Government, but will live as we list, our Tongues are our own; and who is Lord over us?
A47542God so loved the World: So, how?
A47542Grace, as I may say, is the Off- spring of Heaven: And what doth God love on Earth, above his own Grace in the Souls of his People?
A47542Had you not Power to read, to hear my Word, to pray?
A47542Has he clothed me with a Robe that shines like the Light, and sparkles beyond all precious Stones?
A47542Has he given the Flesh of his Son to me for Food, and his precious Blood to me to drink, and shall I sin against him?
A47542Hast thou seen what is laid up in the inner Chambers of his Spirit?
A47542Hath God given me himself, given me a Taste how good he is?
A47542Hath God raised me from the lowest Hell, and set me on High; made me his own Child, and espoused me to his Blessed Son?
A47542Hath Man a Power, naturally in him, exceeding the Power of Satan?
A47542Hath Sin pierced my dear Redeemer?
A47542Hath Sin put the Lord of Life and Glory to death?
A47542Hath every Man and Woman in the World the Holy Ghost in them, and the eminent Gifts thereof?
A47542Hath he allowed me to have free access to the Throne of Grace, and to have Communion with himself, and with his Son, and shall I sin against him?
A47542Hath he not purchased and merited superabundant Grace?
A47542Hath he set a Crown upon my Head, and put Chains better than those of Gold about my Neck?
A47542Hath he took the Charge of his Sheep, and will he leave them to Lions, or Wolves, to be torn to pieces?
A47542Hath the Death of Christ such Virtue in it, even to renew, quicken, regenerate all that believe in him?
A47542Hath the Life of your Sins been let out?
A47542Hath the Lord left it indifferent in his Eternal Purpose, whether any should be saved, or no?
A47542Hath the Word changed your Hearts?
A47542Have I not grieved, nay, wounded afresh my dear Saviour, by not believing in him, and not receiving the great Salvation offered by him?
A47542Have you got Power over your Corruptions and Temptations thereby?
A47542Have you not read of the Marriage- Supper, All things are now ready?
A47542Have you, saith a Man to his Friend, done that Business I desired of you?
A47542He came to destroy the Works of the Devil?
A47542He considers it, Will he not consider it?
A47542He is an Honour, or honourable: Whom have I in Heaven but thee?
A47542He makes a bad Market that puts off his Soul at any Price; What shall a Man give in exchange of his Soul?
A47542He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all; how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
A47542Hereby also they shew they have no Love nor Pity for their Immortal Souls: If they loved their Souls, would they not seek the Salvation of them?
A47542His Visitors asked him if they should Pray for him?
A47542How came you to know that you are dead?
A47542How can any think to escape that neglect the Means of this Salvation?
A47542How can that be, if any one that is begotten by Christ''s Word and Spirit may perish?
A47542How can that enter into any Man''s Thoughts?
A47542How can this Man give us his flesh to eat?
A47542How can this be?
A47542How could Death be Gain to him, if his Soul was mortal, and slept with his Body in the Grave?
A47542How did Christ deny himself?
A47542How did he know who were savingly, invisibly in Christ?
A47542How did the sense of God''s Love and Goodness to David humble him: Who am I, O Lord, and what is mine House, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
A47542How does this tend to reprove such who do expose their precious Souls to eternal Wrath, for the unjust Gain of Six- pence or a Shilling?
A47542How doth this reprehend such who repine, murmur, and are carried away with slavish and distrustful Fear?
A47542How doth this tend to reprehend the Enemies of God''s People, who abuse, reproach, backbite, nay, persecute them?
A47542How easy was it for the Philistines to cut off Sampson''s Hair, and bind him, when he was asleep?
A47542How equal and just a thing would it be that such should die?
A47542How idle is it for any to say, He died only to remove or take away the rigid Law of Works, and to merit a milder Law of Grace?
A47542How is that done?
A47542How long shall God wait upon you?
A47542How made an end of Sin?
A47542How may I know I am made alive, and have Eternal Life given to me?
A47542How may I know that I have Christ, or an Interest in him?
A47542How near may some of you be to Death; and if you have not got an Interest in Christ before then, what will become of your precious Souls?
A47542How oft have they been fed this way?
A47542How poor then was he for a Time, that stood charged with all the Sins of his Elect?
A47542How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation, which at first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by them that heard him?
A47542How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation?
A47542How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation?
A47542How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation?
A47542How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation?
A47542How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation?
A47542How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation?
A47542How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation?
A47542How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation?
A47542How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation?
A47542How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation?
A47542How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation?
A47542How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation?
A47542How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation?
A47542How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation?
A47542How shall we that preached it escape if we neglect it?
A47542How will they stand in the Judgment- Day, when Christ will say, what ye did to this and that Child of mine, you did it unto me?
A47542How will you be able to look this Blessed Saviour in the Face another Day?
A47542How will you get rid of this abominable Filth, which renders you loathsom in God''s sight?
A47542However they who have Salvation, either have it as the Effects of Free- Grace, or of Free- Will; Who will assert the latter?
A47542I grant that it is spoken of Christ, but not of Christ personally, but Christ mystically considered: Did Christ personally ever forsake God''s Law?
A47542I have found a Ransom: Where did God find it?
A47542If Believers do perish, what will become of the Promises of God, nay, of the Oath of God?
A47542If Christ be thine, he is very precious to thee: Canst thou say with David, Whom have I in Heaven but thee?
A47542If Christ did not die for all, how could the Birth of our Saviour be said to be Matter of Joy unto all People?
A47542If Christ died not for all, how can I know he died for me?
A47542If Christ died not for all, what ground have I to believe he died for me?
A47542If I am a Master, where is my Fear?
A47542If I shall persevere to the End, what need is there of those Take- heeds in the Scripture?
A47542If a Shepherd had under his Care 100000 Sheep, and all his own, would not every body call him a great Shepherd?
A47542If he died for the Chief of Sinners, why not for thee?
A47542If 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?
A47542If he hath Power in his Hand, will he not rescue her, nay, die upon the Spot before he will see this done?
A47542If it doth, why hath it not equal Effects towards all?
A47542If none saved but such that are elected, what need any look after Salvation?
A47542If so, what will you do at the Day of Death, and in the Day of Judgment?
A47542If the Supreme Judg, he whom they have offended, doth acquit and discharge them, who shall bring in any Accusation against them?
A47542If the Word spoken by Angels were stedfast, and every Transgression and Disobedience received a just Recompence of Reward; How shall we escape?
A47542If this was his End and Design in his Death; do any think he will see himself frustrated in it?
A47542If you had done your uttermost in improving of the Talent I gave you, would I have been wanting to you?
A47542Is Christ a Surety to God for us, or of us to God?
A47542Is Christ able to preserve his Souse, or the Soul that is united unto him?
A47542Is Communion with Christ on Earth worth nothing?
A47542Is God able, think you, to delight, to rejoice, and to fill the Souls of his Saints with Joy and Pleasure?
A47542Is God through the Death of his Son reconciled, and shall all that take hold of him be justified?
A47542Is Sin that which afflicts, wounds and grieves your Spirit?
A47542Is any Man able perfectly to keep the Law?
A47542Is he not Merciful, because he is Just as well as Gracious?
A47542Is he unjust in giving effectual Grace to some, because he doth not bestow it upon all?
A47542Is his Power greater than the Power of Satan?
A47542Is it Gain to lose that?
A47542Is it in the Eternal Purpose of his Will that all should be saved?
A47542Is it in the Power of his Hands?
A47542Is 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?
A47542Is it not plainly foretold, that the Messiah should be cut off, but not for himself?
A47542Is it not said, If ye abide in me, and my Words abide in you?
A47542Is it so great, so glorious, and shall we not mind it above all things?
A47542Is it some Temporary Act of his, whereby he hath declared himself unto them?
A47542Is my Hand shortned at all that it can not redeem?
A47542Is not his Satisfaction more than enough?
A47542Is 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?
A47542Is not that a base and for did Principle in a Servant or Subject, to do nothing but for meer Self- profit and Advantage?
A47542Is not the Carnal Mind enmity against God, having in it an utter Averseness and Moral Impotency to do that which is spiritually Good?
A47542Is not this Doctrine a Legal Doctrine, or a legal way of preaching, to insist so much upon the Threatnings of Wrath and Divine Vengeance?
A47542Is not this a better Ground of Faith, than that of Christ''s dying for all?
A47542Is the Wrath of God so terrible, and can no Unbeliever or impenitent Sinner escape it; what cause is here for them all to tremble?
A47542Is there any Creature or Thing that is Mortal, which Man can not kill, or deprive it of Life?
A47542Is there any hope that such Sinners as we may be forgiven, and be saved?
A47542Is there in the Hearts of Sinners naturally Enmity against God?
A47542Is this possible?
A47542Is this the Doctrine of general Love which they will have to be in God to Mankind?
A47542Is this to exalt the Lord alone, or to raise and sing the Praises of our Beloved David?
A47542It is God that justifieth, who shall condemn us?
A47542It was therefore hereby that we lost God''s Love and Favour, and is not that a dismal and most bitter thing?
A47542Let 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?
A47542Lo, 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?
A47542May be you cry out, your State is sad; but what think you of your Sin which is the Cause of it?
A47542May he not say, did ye suspect or fear you were not elected?
A47542May not Believers, who are Christ''s Sheep, be beguiled, so as to receive some capital Errors, or an Error in some fundamental Point?
A47542May not Cry out, Fire, Fire?
A47542May not a true Believer make a Breach upon a good Conscience, by falling into Temptation?
A47542May we not stand amazed, and wonder at the long- suffering and forbearance of God?
A47542Men are ignorant and unsensible of their States and Conditions: Are we blind also?
A47542Moreover Sin feeds Men poorly: How do they feed?
A47542Moreover, are there not in this floor others who are proud, earthly, carnal and covetous Persons?
A47542Moreover, none can condemn such that God justifieth, because it is Christ that died: Hath not his Death Worth and Merit enough in it?
A47542Must 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?
A47542Must 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?
A47542Must not that Salvation needs be our great and chiefest Business to mind and seek after, that is so full, so comprehensive, perfect and compleat?
A47542Must not that be minded before all things, that God in Eternity( as I may so say) held a Council about the actual accomplishment of?
A47542Must not that needs be our only Business to look after, that Christ shed his most precious Blood to procure?
A47542My Soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?
A47542Nay, and also what Knowledg have they attained of the God of Nature?
A47542Nay, 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?
A47542Nay, art thou willing to part with that Interest thou hast in Christ, and in this Salvation?
A47542Nay, doth not Christ himself cry to you after this manner, Wilt thou continue in thy Sin, and neglect the Salvation I have purchased?
A47542Nay, shall Christ''s repeated Calls, Wooings, and Intreaties, be not regarded, who spreadeth forth his Hands all the Day long?
A47542No Doctrine tends to promote Gospel Holiness like the Doctrine of Gods Free- Grace: Shall we sin because grace hath abounded?
A47542None can be so weak sure to assert that; for who shall resist God''s Will, or withstand God''s absolute Design, Purpose and Intention?
A47542Now Sirs, what think you of this; is there any reason for you to believe God will suffer either of these things to be done?
A47542Now are all Men redeemed?
A47542Now can Christ cease being an Elect Head?
A47542Now dare any go about, through their great Ignorance, to charge God with Perjury?
A47542Now if it be demanded who are the Sheep of Christ?
A47542Now 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?
A47542Now this being done by us, and for us in our Head, can we henceforth die any more?
A47542Now were it thus, as these Men affirm, then how is Christ rendred, even more weak and inconsiderate than any Man of Understanding?
A47542Now what are the Enemies, the most dangerous Enemies of the Spouse of Christ?
A47542Now what daring Men are they who say, they may come into Condemnation that do believe?
A47542Now what is Election, but a chusing some out of others?
A47542Now 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?
A47542Now 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?
A47542Now, pray, are not these words to be taken with restriction?
A47542O Death, where is thy Sting?
A47542O Grave, where is thy Victory?
A47542O House of David,( saith the Prophet) is it a small thing for you to weary Men, but will you weary my God also?
A47542O Souls, will you crucify Christ again?
A47542O bless God for the least degree of saving Grace: Have you love to God, to his poor Saints?
A47542O 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?
A47542O my Friends, how great is the Love of Christ to one poor, lost, and undone Sinner?
A47542O of what Moment is the Salvation of our Souls?
A47542O saith a poor Believer, what have I done?
A47542O see to it, and examine your selves; Do you not rest upon something or another short of Christ?
A47542O shall not the Judg and King of Heaven and Earth do right?
A47542O that is a blessed Sign: Do you love God, love his People?
A47542O 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?
A47542O 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?
A47542O what is Sin, and how miserable is the Condition of Sinners?
A47542O what is the Evil of Sin?
A47542O what is the Love, the Care and Faithfulness of God?
A47542O what is the Natural Life of the Body, to the Eternal Life of the Soul?
A47542O what will you do in the day of Gods Wrath if ye are Chaff, or but counterfeit Christians?
A47542O who shall stand when God appears in the latter- Day- Judgments which are now just at the Door?
A47542O wretched Man that I am, who shall deliver me from the Body of Sin and Death?
A47542Of how much sorer Punishment suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Blood of the Son of God?
A47542On whom is the Wrath of God denounced, or what kind of Sinners shall undergo it?
A47542Or Sinner, dost thou want a broken Heart, dost thou want a penitent Heart?
A47542Or are not all Men naturally under the Power of the Prince of Darkness, he taking them Captive at his Will?
A47542Or could he not have created other Creatures to have shewed forth his glorious Perfections?
A47542Or did Christ take more care of the Members of his Natural Body, than of the Members of his Mystical Body?
A47542Or do they not much more animate him to fight couragiously?
A47542Or do you think Christ will fail in his Care and Faithfulness, who is their great Shepherd, Sponsor, Surety, or Trustee?
A47542Or do you want Comfort?
A47542Or 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?
A47542Or does not God look upon us, or count us in him so to be?
A47542Or doth it not refer to all that are in him, or given to him, or all his true spiritual Seed?
A47542Or hath any Man the true Grace of God, and yet not as the Result of God''s Purpose from Eternity?
A47542Or how shall you that hear it preached escape if you neglect it?
A47542Or is he stronger than that strong Man armed?
A47542Or is it an Antecedent Desire that it should be so, though he fails in the End?
A47542Or is this Gospel, to say, you shall perish eternally, and have the Fire of Hell seven times heated, if you obey not this Gospel?
A47542Or shall Sin or the Devil pull Limb from Limb, and he look on?
A47542Or 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?
A47542Or 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?
A47542Or that there is no ground left in the Word for us to believe they were saved?
A47542Or 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?
A47542Or what Communion hath Light with Darkness?
A47542Or what Concord hath Christ with Belial?
A47542Or, who hath felt and experienced the powerful Influences of his Spirit, and saving Grace thereof, on their Souls?
A47542Others hear it, but do not believe it: Who hath believed our Report?
A47542Ought we not to prefer that Salvation before all things, that delivers us from the greatest Evil, the Plague of all Plagues?
A47542Our Souls at Death depart, and they go to Christ: What is Joy and Peace in Christ, to Joy, Peace and Consolation with Christ?

A47542Pray what is that which is absent from the Lord whilst it is at home in the Body, is it not the Soul?
A47542Pray, what Difference is there between these Mens Doctrine, and that of the Papists?
A47542Said a godly man, this is a humbling dispensation that you are exercised under — A humbling dispensation, said he, do you call it?
A47542Saith a Believer, Is Sin hateful to God?
A47542Satan 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?
A47542Say you so, is Sin your Sickness, is Sin your Sorrow?
A47542Secondly, Doth this Will equally respect the All intended, or doth it not?
A47542Secondly, What Pastures doth Christ feed his Sheep in?
A47542See 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?
A47542Shall Eternal Death have Dominion over us?
A47542Shall God''s Justice be eclipsed, shall his Honour be marr''d, his Goodness be despised, his Law be violated, his Holiness stained?
A47542Shall 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?
A47542Shall all in Heaven contemplate it, and not we?
A47542Shall any Enemy of the Soul bring Christ under a Disappointment?
A47542Shall any change God''s Mind, or render his Thoughts liable to Alteration?
A47542Shall he be at the expence of his Blood to buy it,( as one notes) and spare his Power to secure it?
A47542Shall he come secretly on his Enemies before he tells them of their danger?
A47542Shall he condemn that in his Creatures which he allows in himself?
A47542Shall he rebel against his Soveraign?
A47542Shall he slight an Interest in Christ, and not know it will be his ruin in another World?
A47542Shall not the Love of God overcome thee?
A47542Shall not the Majesty of God the great Law- giver be feared?
A47542Shall the Sinner cast Di ● t in the Face of God, and not be told of it?
A47542Shall there be Joy in Heaven this Day?
A47542Simon, Son of Jonas, lovest thou me?
A47542Sin can not be done away without an infinite Price: What Influence could the Blood of Beasts have to take away Sin?
A47542Sinner, what sayst thou?
A47542Sinners, are you bound in strong Chains, and in the Prison- house?
A47542Sinners, are you dead, dead in Sins and Trespasses?
A47542Sinners, are you polluted, defiled with Sin, and filthy in God''s sight?
A47542Sinners, have you hard and rocky Hearts, Hearts of Stone, even as hard as the nether Milstone?
A47542Sinners, will you not enquire where Christ feeds?
A47542Sinners, with what Awe and holy Trembling should you attend on the Word of this Salvation, that began first to be spoken by the Lord?
A47542Sirs, Jesus Christ who was rich, that he might accomplish the Salvation of our Souls, became poor; May not this affect our Hearts?
A47542So then this is the Sum, In Holiness and all good Works we act and do; But how?
A47542Some said with a whispering Voice that he was possessed; he over- hearing it, said, Do ye doubt it?
A47542Suppose, 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?
A47542That Redemption that is by Christ, is( you hear) from all Iniquity; and are all so redeemed?
A47542That all Mankind, before Grace is infused into the Soul, are dead: What short of Almighty Power can raise the Dead to Life?
A47542That which was so seasonable, and when all hopes of Relief and Help was gone?
A47542That 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?
A47542The 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?
A47542The Conscience in a fearful manner shall torment the damned: May we not conclude Conscience will terrifie them after this manner?
A47542The Cross makes many lose the Crown; but, Brethren, had Jesus Christ refused the Cross, where had we been?
A47542The Devils cried, Why dost thou torment us before the Time?
A47542The Eunuch answered, How can I, unless some Man should guide me?
A47542The Flesh can not bring forth an Heavenly Babe: Can Corruption produce or be the Cause of Regeneration?
A47542The Soul is more worth than all the World: What shall it profit a Man to gain the whole World, and lose his own Soul?
A47542The Spouse from hence enquires of Christ where he feedeth, and where he maketh his Flock to rest at Noon?
A47542The Work of the Ministry is to open the Scripture; Vnderstandest thou what thou readest?
A47542They shall sit upon Thrones; Know ye not that the Saints shall judg the World?
A47542Thirdly what is meant by the Chaff?
A47542Thirdly, and lastly, What Comfort and Consolation doth this afford to all true Christians?
A47542This 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?
A47542This greatly raiseth the Honour of Believers: What greater Dignity can be conferred on us, than to be begotten and born of God?
A47542Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy Way; yet sayest thou not, There is no Hope?
A47542Though Co ● iah the Son of Jehojakim King of Judah were the Signet upon my right Hand, yet would I pluck thee thence?
A47542To talk of Christ''s Death, and see no Effects of it, alas, what''s that?
A47542To whom hath the Arm of the Lord been revealed?
A47542To you poor Sinners let me speak one word by way of Exhortation: Did God so early contrive our Salvation?
A47542Tremble 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?
A47542True, some things you must part with, whoever you are, that will have a part in this Salvation: But what is that?
A47542Tush, our State is good enough, we can repent hereafter: What is the Gospel but to do as we would be done unto?
A47542Tush, will God think you ever cast us into Hell for such small things as these, or throw us into a Furnace of Fire?
A47542Was God unjust in electing some of the Angels, because he passed by others of them?
A47542Was it possible for Christ not to abide in his Father''s Love?
A47542Was not Peter sent to him( and to those other Gentiles with him) that they might be converted?
A47542Was 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?
A47542Was the Birth of Christ Matter of Joy in the Effects of it to Judas, and to the unbelieving Jews, and to many more?
A47542Was the Body of Christ, and the Body of that gracious Person that Day together in Paradise?
A47542Was the Wrath of God due to us let out upon him, that we might never feel the weight thereof?
A47542Was there a Council held in Eternity about our Salvation?
A47542Well what of this?
A47542Well, but what are the Characters of those happy Souls?
A47542Well, 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?
