| A55568 | Well met( my Paulus) why does ● thou muse with thy self? |
| A55568 | Well, bless God for it; and now seeing, through infinite mercy, an insufficiency in good works to save you, what think you of God? |
| A55568 | Well, friend, what think you of this question? |
| A55568 | Well, what of all that? |

| A55568 | Whether it is lawfull pray unto Angels? |
| A55568 | Who is Jesus Christ; why he is the Son of God? |
| A55568 | Who is that, I pray? |
| A55568 | Who is the true God? |
| A55568 | Whose Throne is Heaven then? |
| A55568 | Why, I suppose he is God too, is he not? |
| A55568 | Why, do you question getting thither? |
| A55568 | Why, doest thou think there is a God? |
| A55568 | Will he do one no hurt? |
| A55568 | Will the Devil ve a better friend to you then God? |
| A55568 | Will the Flames of Hell be as sweet as a Bed of Roses? |

| A55568 | Yea, I did, what of all that? |
| A55568 | Yea, that I do; Do n''t you? |
| A55568 | Yes, for have you not read of the Publicans demeanour before God? |
| A55568 | You answer right, but what do you think will be the Order of this Iudgement? |
| A55568 | You cry out of your misery, but you do not tell mee wherein it does consist? |
| A55568 | You understand herein, I shall examine by asking you several questions concerning this duty; as first, ought we to pray unto God, and only unto him? |
| A55568 | Your Answer as you should do; But are the Scriptures sufficient of themselves to work faith in us or no? |
| A55568 | can one pray, and not speak? |
| A55568 | have you not provoked God enough already, and will you provoke him still? |
| A55568 | how therefore( my friend) ha ● God dealt with you since I last parted from you? |

| A90277 | And And wouldst thou willingly be intangled againe? |
| A90277 | And shall we be negligent under his eye? |
| A90277 | But alas, this is but a which, or a new cord, to bind a Gyant temptation withall: What thinke you of the third part of the starres of heaven? |
| A90277 | But that which God will have to be strong, let us not think weak? |
| A90277 | But was not our Saviour Christ himselfe tempted; and is it evill to be brought into the same state and condition with him? |
| A90277 | But what security have we hereof? |
| A90277 | Can such ingratitude, unbeliefe, rebellion, befall me? |
| A90277 | Dost thou flagge in thy profession? |
| A90277 | Had they not shone in the firmament of the Church? |
| A90277 | Hath Satan any more friendly aime and intention towards thee, who is a sharer in every Temptation? |
| A90277 | He that heareth these words of mine, and doth them not, is like a man that built his house upon the sand: but what doth this house of profession do? |
| A90277 | How many are rendred uselesse in the world, by their frowardnesse and discontent? |
| A90277 | How many have all their comforts blasted, and peace disturbed, by their naturall passion and peevishnesse? |
| A90277 | How shall they wound Jesus Christ who dyed for them? |
| A90277 | I said in my prosperity I shall never be moved: all is well, and will be well, but what was at hand, what lay at the doore, that David thought not of? |
| A90277 | I who have had such a Reputation in the Church of God, shall I now lose it by giving way to this lust? |
| A90277 | I will keep thee, how? |
| A90277 | I will not doe it; shall then a man rest in it, that his heart will be stedfast? |
| A90277 | In generall, all we can looke for is from our hearts; what a mans heart is that is, Hee; but now what is the heart of a man in such a season? |
| A90277 | Is it likely that thou shouldest hold out therein, when thou canst not watch with me one houre? |
| A90277 | Is this then our state and condition? |
| A90277 | It may be when first it began to presse upon the soule, the soule was amazed with the ugly appearance of what it aymed at, and cryed, am I a dogge? |
| A90277 | Joseph had this; and therefore on the first appearance of a temptation, he cries out; how can I do this great evill, and sinne against God? |
| A90277 | Now how can they preserve a man? |
| A90277 | Now how is this done? |
| A90277 | Now if a mans peace be such, doe you think that can preserve him, which can not preserve its selfe? |
| A90277 | Now where these things are, are not men carnall? |
| A90277 | Now withstanding of Temptation is heart worke; and when it comes like a flood, can such a rotten turfe as a wicked mans heart, stand before it? |
| A90277 | Obj: But what need this great indeavour and carefulnesse? |
| A90277 | Oh how few will be able to stand and hold out? |
| A90277 | Oh keep me that I enter not in; vestigia terrent, behold the footsteps of them that have gone in; whom doe you see retiring without a wound? |
| A90277 | Shall such an one as I fly? |
| A90277 | Suppose a man is not a Believer, but only a Professor of the Gospell, what can the heart of such an one doe? |
| A90277 | The Heart of a man will promise him very faire before a Temptation comes; am I a dogge, sayes Hazael, that I should doe this thing? |
| A90277 | There is no Saint of God, but puts a valuation on the peace he hath: yet how many of them faile in the day of temptation? |
| A90277 | They have another consideration also, and that is, the vilenesse of sinning against God? |
| A90277 | Were they not sensible more then enough of their owne honour, height, usefulnesse, and reputation? |
| A90277 | What can be of more efficacy and prevalency? |
| A90277 | What did they, we do not? |
| A90277 | What sayes our Saviour to them? |
| A90277 | What sort of man is free from this folly in one thing or other? |
| A90277 | What were those before us, that we are not? |
| A90277 | What work hath the spirit of error made amongst us? |
| A90277 | What, deny my master, the Son of God; my Redeemer; who loves me? |
| A90277 | Wherein then in such a season must lie the peculiar neglect of the word of Christs patience? |
| A90277 | Who would go out of his way, to have his armes full of losse and dung? |
| A90277 | Why doth terror, or threates turne us aside, from a due constancy in the performance of our duty? |
| A90277 | Why should we so feare, and labour to avoid temptation? |
| A90277 | Would any one have thought it possible, that such and such professors in our daies, should have fallen into waies of selfe, of flesh, of the world? |
| A90277 | You will say, how shall we know wherein the word of Christs patience in any season is like to suffer? |
| A90277 | You will say, what provision is intended, and where is it to be laid up? |
| A90277 | a blemish at least? |
| A90277 | and if any urging particular Temptation, befall any, what instances almost have we of any that escape? |
| A90277 | and may we not see how it is come to passe? |
| A90277 | and shall we be negligent in this thing? |
| A90277 | and whence is it, that he hath this estimation of the most desirable things in the world? |
| A90277 | are they not cursing their Tempters, and the Temptations that they entred in? |
| A90277 | art thou negligent in duties of praying or hearing? |
| A90277 | at first they will venture on the company, abhorring the thoughts of practising; their lewdnesse: but what is the issue? |
| A90277 | by closing with this, or that publick evill? |
| A90277 | canst thou not watch one houre? |
| A90277 | does thy delight in the people of God faint and grow cold? |
| A90277 | doth it not grieve him, to see us expose our selves so to danger, after he hath given us warning upon warning? |
| A90277 | doth thy light burne dimme? |
| A90277 | even the faithfulnesse of God; God is faithfull who will not suffer you& c. And wherein is God''s faithfulnesse seen and exercised? |
| A90277 | how few keep their garments girt about them, and undefiled? |
| A90277 | how long do they believe? |
| A90277 | how many are disquieted even by their owne gentlenesse and sanctity? |
| A90277 | how many poor, miserably, spiritually, wounded soules have we every where? |
| A90277 | if such mighty pillars have been cast to the ground, such Cedars blowne downe, how shall I stand before temptations? |
| A90277 | if we wilfully neglect, or cast away our interest in the promise of preservation, is it any wonder, if we be not preserved? |
| A90277 | is it not because amongst the great multitude of Professors, that we have, there are few that keep the word of the patience of Christ? |
| A90277 | is it not because our affections are entangled with the things and considerations proposed unto us? |
| A90277 | is it not because there is unmortified carnall feare abiding in us, that tumultuates in such a season? |
| A90277 | is it not in leaning to our own counsels and understandings? |
| A90277 | is it not in setting a value on the world and the things of it, which he hath stained and trampled under foot? |
| A90277 | is it not in the slighting of his peculiar lot, his people, and casting them into the same considerations with the men of the world? |
| A90277 | is the word of Christs patience effectuall in them? |
| A90277 | is this thy dying for me; to be dead in security, when I am dying for thee? |
| A90277 | is thy zeale cold? |
| A90277 | it can not be; All the Arguments that are suited to give check to the heart in such a condition, are mustered up; did not Peter thinke you do so? |
| A90277 | oh what thoughts of heart hath he concerning me, whose eye is upon me? |
| A90277 | or if thou dost observe them, thou doest it not with that life and vigour as formerly? |
| A90277 | or if thou keep it up, yet thy wheeles are oyled by some sinister respects from within or without? |
| A90277 | or that they should be turned away after foolish, vaine, ridiculous opinions, diserting the Gospell of Christ? |
| A90277 | or though it give to others as great a blaze, as formerly, yet thou seest not so clearly the face of God in Christ, by it as thou hast done? |
| A90277 | p. 122. l. 3. not? |
| A90277 | persons walking in the vanities and wayes of this world, yet boasting of their sense of the love of God; shall we believe them? |
| A90277 | saith he, the peace of God shall do it: what is this peace of God? |
| A90277 | shall I contemne his honour, despise his love, trample his Gospell in the mire under the feet of men, turne aside others from his ways? |
| A90277 | shall I now be carelesse, shall I be negligent, shall I comply with the world,& the wayes of it? |
| A90277 | shall such a man as I fly, give over resisting? |
| A90277 | shall they be preserved? |
| A90277 | they are affected with the preaching of the word, and believe thereon: make profession, bring forth some fruits: but untill when do they abide? |
| A90277 | thinke you that the peace of many in these dayes, will be found to be true peace at last? |
| A90277 | though all men should deny thee I will not: shall I doe this evill? |
| A90277 | to neglect family, closet duties, to be proud, haughty, ambitious, worldly, covetous, oppressive? |
| A90277 | to play at cards, dice, revell, dance? |
| A90277 | to this temptation? |
| A90277 | vve must not then believe truth its selfe; and hovv vvofull then, must their condition needs be? |
| A90277 | what do they say? |
| A90277 | why is it that the Allurements of the world, and compliances with men entangle us? |
| A90277 | yea didest thou ever in thy life come fairly of without sensible, losse from any temptation almost that thou hadst to deale withall? |
| A17936 | ( then say they,) that sin which is the punishment doth deserve more punishment, and so it doth: What( say they) and doth that deserve another? |
| A17936 | 6. and there we read, that some who were thus sinfull were yet sanctified, were washed, and are now with Christ: and if they, then why not some now? |
| A17936 | And if neither the first or second Adam could be free from their Impudent Assaults; Who then may look for exemption? |
| A17936 | And in Paul: Who cals chastity a mans honour? |
| A17936 | And is not Sathan said to tempt us? |
| A17936 | And when Salomon was old, saith the Text, hee doted on an our- landish woman: how comes ● his? |
| A17936 | And who can thinke, that Abraham did not repent of that his sin in the matter of Sarah? |
| A17936 | Be out of heart because all is not done in a day? |
| A17936 | Biblida quid refer ● ●? |
| A17936 | But in his troubles; and where? |
| A17936 | But in the High Priests Hall, and who? |
| A17936 | But yet we must grant, that a man may bee good in the heart, and yet for a time( and how long who can say?) |
| A17936 | Christ indeed was tempted, and had no Lust in him, and did not Satan lose his labour? |
| A17936 | Could one kill the Divell? |
| A17936 | Desertion is in it selfe no sin: for Christ was without sense, aye, he was so deepe in it, that when he dyed, he said, why hast thou forsaken me? |
| A17936 | Doth it follow then, that by the Law forbidding such Lusts, must be meant the tenth or one distinct Commandement? |
| A17936 | Even stand it out, hold there, as we have a calling to be there, what if wee quake? |
| A17936 | Give over because the physick doth not heale at once taking? |
| A17936 | Have we repented, or have we not? |
| A17936 | Have wee not a command to pray? |
| A17936 | How can it come into the heart now, if it were not there from the very first? |
| A17936 | How so? |
| A17936 | I have( saith hee) done foolishly, I have sinned and that greatly; Lord forgive, what? |
| A17936 | I mourne, Blessed( not shall be) but are those that mourne, why? |
| A17936 | Iacob had sore and heavy afflictions, yet it went ever for truth,( Iacob have I loved) hee loved him, when? |
| A17936 | If none, What make we there? |
| A17936 | In the faith, and what then? |
| A17936 | Is the reason in our will? |
| A17936 | Is there a new Originall sin? |
| A17936 | Let us then say, that it is a dāgerous case, for a godly man to sinne the same great sin after repentance, what if it doe not put him out of Christ? |
| A17936 | Looke up then, and if from want of sight and feeling wee doe say, Why hast thou forsaken me? |
| A17936 | Man would then learne not to bee so bold with occasions of sin against nature; what if at first nature doth even spit at them? |
| A17936 | No, no more: and must wee have all we beleeve? |
| A17936 | No; what, to runne? |
| A17936 | Now if repentance could doe it at first, when the sin was greater; can wee question, whether repentance doth fetch it off, when the sin is lesser? |
| A17936 | Our case is good, and our prayer is of force, and what if for all that, sinne bee there, yet it raignes not there? |
| A17936 | Out of the heart saith Christ proceedeth blasphemies: What? |
| A17936 | Put the case( saith he) that a man must dye or tell a lye, is it not a sinne in this case of necessity to lye? |
| A17936 | Resist saith Peter, how resist? |
| A17936 | Say the worst, have wee blasphemed? |
| A17936 | Shortly, Through whom? |
| A17936 | Should God sit still, and the law of nature stand still and looke on, and let our Originall sin, our lust within shew it selfe? |
| A17936 | Some say, it ought not to be said, that God doth punish sin with sin, why? |
| A17936 | Stedfastly, how stedfastly? |
| A17936 | The Law, I know, permitted it to the Iewes, to the stranger, what of that? |
| A17936 | The foolish hath said in his heart there is no God, what followes? |
| A17936 | The infirmity: No, the iniquity; of whom? |
| A17936 | The next thing that we must doe by our faith, is, to take Christ Iesus, and set him against the Tempter, why? |
| A17936 | The next thing wee are to looke to, is, that we doe not coozen and deceive our selves, so as to thinke we have not overcome the tentation: why? |
| A17936 | The weapons of our warfare are not carnall, but mighty, how? |
| A17936 | This is too much, to say one will never vow again, who can say what need one may have; what good a vow may doe one? |
| A17936 | Thus the Lord doth laugh at their calamity, and mocke when their feare commeth: but why are men so set in that sin? |
| A17936 | To save one soule fom death is noted in the d Word to be an honourable piece of service: How great is your Honour and comfort then? |
| A17936 | We all read that the heart of man is deceitfull above all things, yea, above the divell, why? |
| A17936 | What are we? |
| A17936 | What if wee have grace? |
| A17936 | What, should the Law then forbid that to bee done by rich men, which most rich men never did? |
| A17936 | Why Peter a chiefe Apostle in the love and favour of Christ his master; and is not Peter in heaven? |
| A17936 | Why hath Satan filled thy heart? |
| A17936 | Why is it past the power of our Divines with their pens and tongues to cry downe vsury? |
| A17936 | Wisdome, Let him aske of God: but he will not give me, yes, he giveth to all: and what if our wants that way bee great? |
| A17936 | and did Adam in whom there was no spice of sinne? |
| A17936 | and may we not think that the holy Ghost saith not murther but murthers, not adultery but adulteries? |
| A17936 | and so, why not another? |
| A17936 | and was not this horrible pride too? |
| A17936 | and what if worse haunted than when I set my selfe against it then before? |
| A17936 | and why those rather than these? |
| A17936 | are we better? |
| A17936 | are wee so good as these fathers were? |
| A17936 | is our nature better than others? |
| A17936 | must we not have a promise and faith for all? |
| A17936 | of the promise; 2 heires, of what? |
| A17936 | or a new kind and species added unto it? |
| A17936 | r. who can say? |
| A17936 | say one must lose his life if hee doe not perjure himselfe, and beare false witnesse, doth that necessity make it no sin? |
| A17936 | some, or all, if not all; which are excepted? |
| A17936 | to beat us? |
| A17936 | was not the heart of man onely evill and prone to all evill ever since the fall? |
| A17936 | was the cause in our nature? |
| A17936 | what are our fathers houses, that we have beene preserved in our houses from such scandalous sins? |
| A17936 | what else will so set us a praying, a whining, a watching, a fasting? |
| A17936 | what if it do not hang him? |
| A17936 | what must wee doe? |
| A17936 | which many heathens would rather have lost their lives than have endured, and what? |
| A45313 | & dost thou se any so miserable upon earth as the holiest? |
| A45313 | Am I better gifted then another? |
| A45313 | Am I more inlightned then others? |
| A45313 | And canst thou be so desperately, and presumptuously mercilesse to thy selfe, as to say, I shall be damned, therefore I will sinne? |
| A45313 | And in his answer to Zophar; Where are the dwelling places of the wicked? |
| A45313 | And shall I with the foolish Virgins, delay the buying of my oyle, till the doores be shut? |
| A45313 | And the prime Apostle sends them to the last dayes( which are ours) for those scoffers, which shall say, Where is the promise of his comming? |
| A45313 | And upon what grounds doth he raise this assurance? |
| A45313 | And what thank is it to me, that I would, and am disabled to offend? |
| A45313 | Are not all the Attributes of God, his? |
| A45313 | Are not his eyes a flame of fire? |
| A45313 | Are not the great works of divine power attributed to him? |
| A45313 | Are not the meanes of grace( Gods blessed ordinances) stil held forth unto thee? |
| A45313 | Are not these the infallible proofs of my calling, and the sure and certaine fruits of mine election? |
| A45313 | Are not we his members? |
| A45313 | Are we not all by nature the childrē of wrath? |
| A45313 | Are we not charged to give divine e honour to him? |
| A45313 | Are we not commanded c to baptize in his name as God? |
| A45313 | Because I have happily, by the mercy of my God, escaped hell in sinning, shall I wilfully run my self headlong into the pit, by continuing in sin? |
| A45313 | Because I have once yeilded to be evill, must I therefore be worse? |
| A45313 | Besides examples, have we not an all sufficient pledg of our certaine rising againe, in the victorious refurrection of the Lord of life? |
| A45313 | Besides these resemblances, have we not many clear instances and examples of our resurrection? |
| A45313 | Besides, the manner of the infliction speaks nothing but mercy; for, what a gentle hand doth my God lay upon me? |
| A45313 | But for the mortifyed christian, were it not for the comfort and amends of a resurrection, who can expresse the miserie of his condition? |
| A45313 | But let me have wind enough left to redouble the name of mercy; am I sure upon so short warning to obtaine it? |
| A45313 | But, let me live; Have I repentance in a string, that I may pull it to me when I list? |
| A45313 | Can any man expect fruit, or leaves from the tree in the midst of winter? |
| A45313 | Can any man looke that the fire should give either flame or heat, whiles it lies covered with ashes? |
| A45313 | Can it not attaine to the knowledg of the secrets of nature, of the perfection of Arts? |
| A45313 | Can it not compare one thing with another? |
| A45313 | Can it not deduce one sequel from another? |
| A45313 | Can it not reach to the scanning of humane plots; and the apprehension of divine mysteries? |
| A45313 | Can the child entertaine any apprehension of his parents favour whiles he is under the lash? |
| A45313 | Can the head be alive and glorious, whiles the limmes doe utterly perish in a finall corruption? |
| A45313 | Can there be any heavier doom that can fall from that awfull mouth, then, Receive thy portion with hypocrites? |
| A45313 | Can there be now any man so desperately mad, as to shut heaven gates against himselfe, which the mercifull God leaves open for him? |
| A45313 | Can they desire and indeavour to be holy? |
| A45313 | Canst thou hope I can so abdicate my self, as to put my selfe into the ranke of beasts? |
| A45313 | Canst thou hope to perswade me, that God will bestow these favours where he loves not? |
| A45313 | Canst thou hope to perswade me, that I do belie, or mis- know my own grief? |
| A45313 | Canst thou perswade us they made this heavenly musick in their sleep? |
| A45313 | Canst thou think so to prevaile with thy suggestions, as to make reason it selfe turne irrationall? |
| A45313 | Contrarily, are those brute things capable of doing those works which may be pleasing unto God; the performāce whereof thou so much envyest unto me? |
| A45313 | Could it be thus if there were providence that over looks and over- rules these earthly affairs? |
| A45313 | Could it be thus, if there were a providence that over- looks and over- rules these earthly affairs? |

| A45313 | Did he not heare them cry, How long Lord, holy ▪ and true? |
| A45313 | Did he not see and heare the hundred forty four thousand Saints, before the throne, harping, and singing a new song to the praise of their God? |
| A45313 | Did not he conquer death for us? |
| A45313 | Did not the touch of Elishaes bones raise up the partner of his grave? |
| A45313 | Did not they arise, and come out of their graves, after my Saviours resurrection, and go into the holy city, and appeare unto many? |
| A45313 | Do I not desire and indeavour to conforme my selfe wholly to the will of my God and Saviour? |
| A45313 | Do I not ever looke backe upon them with a vehement loathing and detestation? |
| A45313 | Do I not give willing eare to the voice of the Gospel? |
| A45313 | Do I not hate the courses of my former disobedience? |

| A45313 | Do not our iniquities separate between us& our God? |
| A45313 | Do not our sins hide his face from us, that he will not hear? |
| A45313 | Do not the secrets of all hearts lie open before him? |
| A45313 | Doe not I see how fickle my life is? |
| A45313 | Dost thou importune their yeildance to sinfull motions? |
| A45313 | Dost thou labour to prevaile with thy temptations upon beasts? |
| A45313 | Dost thou not apprehend the impossibility of this so absurd assertion? |
| A45313 | Dost thou not apprehend the impossibility of this so absurd assertion? |
| A45313 | Dost thou not heare the man after Gods owne heart say, Lord, remember David and all his troubles? |

| A45313 | Doth not thy Saviour stand ready with his armes spread abroad to receive thee into his bosome? |
| A45313 | Even Rabshakeh himselfe spake truer then he was aware of; Am I now comne up without the Lord against this place? |
| A45313 | For, if I had not a soul beyond the condition of brute creatures, how am I capable of sinning? |
| A45313 | For, that a man should commit sinne, as Lot did his incest, not knowing that hee doth the fact, what is it but to bereave him of his senses? |
| A45313 | God cals me to a speedy repentance, thou perswadest me to defer it; whether counsell should I hold more safe? |
| A45313 | God meant the honour of the Priesthood to the family of Eli; but what? |

| A45313 | How willingly dost thou seem to fight against thy selfe, that thou mighrest overcome me? |
| A45313 | I shall not live long, let me live well; so let mee live for a while, that I may live for ever? |
| A45313 | IF pride were thy ruine, wicked spirit, how faine wouldst thou make it mine also? |
| A45313 | IS it any wonder that thou should''st sclander the graces of God, who art ever ready to calumniate the giver? |
| A45313 | If the debt then be paid for me, and that payment accepted of the Creditor, as mine, how fully am I acquitted? |
| A45313 | If they had such a soul as mine, why should they not sin, as well as I? |
| A45313 | If we must be over- ruled by nature, what doe we professing Christianity? |
| A45313 | Impudent tempter, doest thou not remember thine owne language? |
| A45313 | Impudent tempter, how canst thou from my sufferings argue Gods disfavour, when thou knowest that he whom God loved best, suffered most? |
| A45313 | Indeed this is the way to beguile the eyes of men like our selves; for who would mistrust a mortifyed face? |
| A45313 | Is he not eternall? |
| A45313 | Is he not infinite and incomprehensible? |
| A45313 | Is he not there asserted to be i one with the Father? |
| A45313 | Is he not there declared to be h equall with God? |

| A45313 | Is it not the judgement of the great day? |
| A45313 | Is it out of favour, or is it that they are designed to the dresser? |
| A45313 | Is it the measure of my smart that should argue Gods displeasure? |
| A45313 | Is not he our head? |
| A45313 | Is not he the first fruits of them that slept? |

| A45313 | Is not this required and reported to be done not only by the f Kings of the earth, but by the g Saints and Angels in heaven? |
| A45313 | Is there any thing in heaven, or earth, or hell that can be hid from his all- seeing eyes? |
| A45313 | It is in him that we live, and move, and have our being; and can we be so sottish, as to think we can steale a life from him, which he knows not of? |
| A45313 | It is man that had sinned; it is God that was offended; who but he that was God& man could reconcile God unto man? |
| A45313 | It is true; Wicked men flourish; what marvell is this? |
| A45313 | Lastly, have I not falne foule upon my selfe for so easie a seduction? |
| A45313 | Lastly, what can be the necessity which may either induce to sin; or excuse for sinning? |
| A45313 | Mammon is the God they serve, and what can he doe lesse then blesse them with a miserable advantage? |
| A45313 | NAy rather, these are blasphemies not fit to fall from any but a malignant Devill: what is this but to flatter man, that thou maist sclander God? |
| A45313 | No, tempter; Canst thou challenge this faith of mine, which thou censurest, to be thine owne worke? |
| A45313 | O death where is thy sting? |
| A45313 | O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the Prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? |
| A45313 | O grave, where is thy victory? |
| A45313 | One corne of sand with the whole masse of the earth? |
| A45313 | Our sins are debts,( so my Saviour hath styled them) how commona a thing is it for debts to be set over to anothers hand? |
| A45313 | PLausible tempter, what care wouldest thou seeme to take of my ease, and reputation, that, in the mean time, thou mightst run away with my soule? |
| A45313 | Presently therfore after our flitting hence, we have a being,& that glorious; who can think of a being in heaven without a ful sense of joy? |
| A45313 | Rejoice, and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in heaven: Who would not endure wrongs a while to be everlastingly recompenced? |
| A45313 | Shall I bid a theefe welcome, because he had wo nt to rob me? |
| A45313 | Shall I then cleanse the out- side of the cup, whiles I am within full of extortion,& excesse? |
| A45313 | Shall wee think they cryed in their sleep? |
| A45313 | Since then I am a subject truly capable of this mercy, what can hinder me from enjoying it? |
| A45313 | TEMPTATION Alas, poor man, how grosly deludest thou thy selfe? |
| A45313 | TEMPTATION If God be never so liberall in in his promises and sure in performances of mercy, to his own, yet what is that to thee? |
| A45313 | TEMPTATION If the soule must live; and the body shall rise: yet what needest thou to affright thy selfe with the terrours of an universall judgement? |
| A45313 | TEMPTATION Pretend religion, and doe any thing: what face is so foule as that Maske will not cleanly cover? |
| A45313 | TEMPTATION Why shouldst thou lose any thing of thy height? |

| A45313 | Temptation Why shouldst thou lose any thing of thy height? |
| A45313 | That he will lose the thanks and honour of so gracious proceedings? |
| A45313 | That one day with the Lord, is as a thousand yeares, and a thousand yeares as one day? |

| A45313 | The wicked thrive in the world; How should they do other? |
| A45313 | The wicked triumph, whiles the righteous are trampled upon; What marvell? |

| A45313 | Yea lastly, when had my Saviour more glory then in this very act of his ignominious suffering, and crucifixion? |
| A45313 | Yea tell me, by what power was it that thine Oracles( wherby all the world was held in superstition) were silenced? |
| A45313 | Yea to give it unto thee for him? |
| A45313 | Yea, can it not judge of spirits? |
| A45313 | a tongue that speakes holy things? |
| A45313 | am I not evidently freed from the bondage of those naturall corruptions, under which thou heldst mo miserably captiv''d? |
| A45313 | an eye and hand lift up to heaven? |
| A45313 | and canst thou be other then apposed with the question of that Jew, who asked whether it were more possible to make a mans body of water, or of earth? |
| A45313 | and dost thou see any so miserable upon earth as the holiest? |
| A45313 | and if I have received it, why should I glory in it as my owne? |
| A45313 | and in stead thereof to gratifie us with a greater blessing undesired? |
| A45313 | and to passe a peremptory doome of necessary damnation upon thy selfe? |
| A45313 | and what have I that I have not received? |
| A45313 | and what is glory but the consummation of grace? |
| A45313 | and what proportion is there between our mercy, and his? |
| A45313 | and what words more harmelesse then those which have no evill quality in them, though no good? |
| A45313 | and who but a God could conquer by suffering? |
| A45313 | and will be favorable no more? |
| A45313 | and will he be favourable no more? |
| A45313 | are they capable of making conscience of their waies? |
| A45313 | art thou come to torment us before the time? |
| A45313 | as if one drop of water were not all one to the Almighty, with the whole deep? |
| A45313 | as if quantities or numbers could make any difference in the Infinite? |
| A45313 | as if that hand which graspeth the large circumference of the highest heaven could let slip the least flye, or worme upon earth? |
| A45313 | because it will not part away with ease? |
| A45313 | betwixt one and a million? |
| A45313 | charming the winds, and waters, healing diseases by the very shadow of his transient disciples? |
| A45313 | doth his promise faile for evermore? |
| A45313 | doth his promise faile for evermore? |
| A45313 | for if the soule of man expired with the body, what subject shouldest thou have of that tyranny, and torment which thou so much affectest? |
| A45313 | hath God forgotten to be gracious? |
| A45313 | hath God forgotten to be gracious? |
| A45313 | hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? |
| A45313 | hath he shut up his tender mercies in displeasure? |
| A45313 | hath it not been inflamed with just displeasure at my selfe, and all the instruments& means of my mis- leading? |
| A45313 | hath not he commanded all their host? |
| A45313 | have I not been kept in awe with the jealous feares of my miserable frailties, lest I should be againe ensnared in thy mischievous ginnes? |
| A45313 | have I not seriously rated my selfe, for giving way to thy wicked temptations? |
| A45313 | have not his hands stretched out the heavens? |
| A45313 | he that formed the eye, shall not he see? |
| A45313 | he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know? |
| A45313 | how certain of ruine, and confusion? |
| A45313 | how full of uncertainties? |
| A45313 | how is he made a gazing stock of reproch to the world, to Angels, and to men? |
| A45313 | how is he trampled upon, by scornful malignity; how is he reputed the off- scouring of the world? |
| A45313 | how ordinary for a bond to be discharged by the surety? |
| A45313 | how should it doe althis, if it were not a spirit? |
| A45313 | if God cared for thee couldst thou be thus miserable? |
| A45313 | l Hath not he created the earth, and man upon it? |
| A45313 | or a motion that he discerneth not? |
| A45313 | or so tied up to the punctuality of a promise, as that he may not exchange it for a better? |
| A45313 | or, as to breake open the gates of hell, and rush violently into the pit of destruction, which God had latched against him? |
| A45313 | presumptuous, unpardonable; With what face canst thou look up to heaven and expect remission from a just God? |
| A45313 | q Had not he glory with the Father before the world was? |
| A45313 | raising to it selfe such notions, as wherein the body can challenge no interest? |
| A45313 | shal I put on thy forme, and transfigure my selfe into an Angell of light? |
| A45313 | shall I fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickednesse? |
| A45313 | shall I to gratifie a friend, make God mine enemy? |
| A45313 | shall I to rescue a friend from danger, bring destruction upon my selfe? |
| A45313 | shall I under pretence of long prayers devoure widowes houses? |
| A45313 | shall not the all- seeing eye of the righteous God find me out in my damnable simulation? |
| A45313 | shall the all- wise and righteous Arbiter of the world decree, and reverse? |
| A45313 | so deep a contrition of soule? |
| A45313 | so fervent zeale of obedience? |
| A45313 | so hearty a detestation of sin? |
| A45313 | so reall experience of temptation? |
| A45313 | so sweet a sense of mercy? |
| A45313 | so thankfull a recognition of deliverance? |
| A45313 | such awe of offending? |
| A45313 | such it should be, if it were presumption; Were it presumption, would''st thou oppose it? |
| A45313 | such tendernesse of heart? |
| A45313 | that he wil repent him of such mercies? |
| A45313 | was it in so absolute termes, that how ever they dishonored God, yet God was bound to honour them? |
| A45313 | was it not from hence that both he, and we in him, were adjudged to death? |
| A45313 | was it not from hence that man was driven out of Paradise? |
| A45313 | what advantage can be so great as the conscience of truth, and fidelity? |
| A45313 | what height have I? |
| A45313 | what is it whereto the manifestation of all hidden truthes, and the accomplishment of all Gods gracious promises are referred? |
| A45313 | what liberall promises hath he made of provision for those that wait upon him; yet how many of them have miserably perished in want? |
| A45313 | what menaces, what afflictions, what judgments hath he not made use of, for the prevention of our damnation? |
| A45313 | what proofes can we have of anger but the effects of displeasure? |
| A45313 | when thou wouldst draw me on to my sins; then, how small, sleight, harmlesse, plausible they were? |
| A45313 | where did the holy God infuse such vertue into any creature? |
| A45313 | where should this sin lurk, that he should not espy it? |
| A45313 | why should they not be equally guilty? |
| A45313 | works so transcending the possibility of nature, that they could not be wrought by any lesse then the God of nature? |
| A45313 | would''st thou not foster and applaud it as thine? |
| A45313 | yea till the next hour? |
| A45313 | yea till to morrow? |
