A67386What necessity then to think that the Godhead must be either multiplied or divided, or in any wise varied by acting the Divinity in the Humane Nature?
A67386What room for his Mercy, without derogation to his Justice, unless there be satisfaction?
A0358413 Yea but our agreement is not such in two of the chiefest points, as J would haue men beleeue it is: and what are they?
A03584And is it as certaine?
A03584As for the councell of Trent concerning inherent righteousnesse what doth it here?
A03584But in the Church of Rome who knoweth not that it is a thing indifferent to thinke and defend the one or the other?
A03584But whatsoever the men be, doe their faults make me faulty?
A03584Did J goe about to make a shew of agreement in the waightiest points, and was J so fond as not to conceale our disagreement about this?
A03584In a word who not?
A03584Is it their w ● nt to speake nicely of things definitiuely set downe in that councell?
A03584These schoole implements are acknowledged by* graue and wise mē not vnprofitable to haue beene invented?
A03584Were their voices since that time ever counted, and their number found smaller which hold it, then theirs that hold the contrary?
A03584What was then my offence in this case?
A03584both he not bring many reasons wherefore all men should hold it?
A03584if we bee, why doth God so often proue his promises vnto vs, as hee doth by arguments taken from our sensible experience?

A2529133. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods Elect?
A2529138. Who is he that saith, and it commeth to passe, when the Lord commandeth it not?
A25291Behold my mother and my brethren, why did ye seeke me?
A25291Can a Blackamore change his skin, or a Leopard his spots?
A25291Did he not make one?
A25291Did not our hearts burne in us whilest he spake to us?
A25291Doe we provoke the Lord to anger?
A25291From Heaven: why did you not then believe him?
A25291Hath God indeed said?
A25291He that believes in me shall live: believest thou this?
A25291He who spared not his own Son,& c. How shall he not freely with him give us all things also?
A25291Hope if it be seene, is not Hope; for why doth a man hope for that which hee seeth?
A25291How great is thy goodnesse which thou dost lay up for them that feare thee?
A25291How shall I know that I shall inherit the Land?
A25291How shall they believe him of whom they have not heard?
A25291How shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?
A25291How shall yee believe, if I tell you heavenly things?
A25291Know yee not, that yee are the Temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
A25291Knowest thou not that the Pharisees were offended at that saying?
A25291My God, my God why hast thou forsaken me?
A25291My soule is troubled, and what shall I say?
A25291Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and so to enter into glory?
A25291Out of the mouth of the most high proceedeth not evill and good?
A25291So in like manner may we: did not God rest the seventh day?
A25291There is no condemnation, who shall lay any thing to their charge?
A25291They tempted God in their heart — and speaking against God, they said, Can God prepare a Table in the Wildernesse?
A25291They tempted God, saying, Is the Lord among us or no?
A25291Thinkest thou that I can not now pray my Father, and he shall presently give me more then twelve legions of Angels?
A25291What fruit had you of those things whereof you are now ashamed?
A25291What good shall I doe that I may have eternall life?
A25291What must I doe to be saved?

A25291and why the seventh day?
A25291knew ye not that I must goe about my fathers businesse?
A25291who shall condemne?
A30400And I will ask I. K. what if the Gentiles had rejected their testimony as well as the Iews did?
A30400And in the first place, how is it proved, that some things are better than other things?
A30400And let me first ask I. K. whether he takes the Church of Corinth to have had a true Religion when S. Paul wrote to ▪ it?
A30400And what humane enticements were wanting to draw men into their Religion?
A30400Did not the Greek Church when it was broke from the Roman, convert many Nations, the Bulgars, the Muscovites and many other northern Kingdoms?
A30400For let me ask I. K. how the Decrees and Canons of the Council of Trent are to be understood?
A30400If after all this it be replyed, How is it then that there are such different Expositors and Expositions of Scripture?
A30400Is this therefore to set up a private spirit to enterpret these Canons?
A30400Was not that dearest part of it, the authority of the Popes, the occasion of many long and bloody wars in Germany and Italy?
A30400What a patrociny to impenitence is their Opinion, of a simple Attrition being sufficient for the Sacrament?
A30400What have they ever done to better Mankind?
A30400With how many errors doth S. Iohn charge some of the seven Churches?
A30400Witness the present year with all the favours and Indulgences to such as go to the thresholds of the Apostles?
A30400and have studied to satisfie men in the most impious and immoral practises?
A30400or does any imagine the Atheists will admit that?
A30400yet if these sacred writings had been with a most Religious care conveyed down to us, had we not been bound to believe the Gospel?
A67569Can a man be profitable to God, as he that is wise may be profitable to himself?
A67569Did they by that meanes put themselves into a condition of ease and pleasure, and soft luxury?

A67390And what is there in all this of Inconsistent Absurdity?
A67390And, if there be no Contradiction in it, why should we be afraid to say, what in Scripture is said so plainly?
A67390But how?
A67390But what then?
A67390But, why so displeased with these Simile''s?
A67390Hear, O Israel) the Lord Our God is One Lord?
A67390How shall it be done, but by denying many Gods?
A67390Is the Divinity of Christ implied in the New Testament?
A67390Is the Humanity of Christ called God?
A67390Is the Humanity preferred before Angels?
A67390No real Unity but acting a Person by imitation?
A67390Or did the Humanity frame the World?
A67390Or, why should we set up Two Gods where One will serve, and when the Scripture says, There is but One?
A67390What was it made for, if not to prevent Polytheism?
A67390What( says he) was that Commandment made for?
A67390What?
A67390Why in our case?
A67390Why, how is that to be done?
A67390is the Divinity of Christ implied in the New Testament?
A53727And could be Merciful, if all Men were to be damned; How could lost Man Redeem himself?

A53727From whence now should this proceed, but from the Fountain of all Righteousness, God Almighty?
A53727How can he be said to believe the Truth, that would force another to believe a Lie?
A53727How could God be Just, if Justice were not satisfied?

A53727How know you the Scriuptures to be the word of God?
A53727How many, and how punctually were the Prophesies, concerning our Redemption by Christ?
A53727I demand therefore of our Adversaries, How they know that the Sun shines, or, that there are any Bodies in the World?
A53727If any Man walk in the day,( saith our Saviour) he stumbleth not; Why?
A53727If they have, why should any one do the like to his Neighbour?
A53727Is it lest the Question should recur upon themselves?
A53727Or, how come we to be assured, that our whole Life is any more than a Dream?
A53727Or, how could he be saved, if he should suffer for himself?
A53727Shall we now say, that this Book is a Forgery, a Cheat and Imposture of the Devil?
A53727The first is, Where was your Religion before Luther?

A53727Who would trouble his head to Argue with such a Person, as should deny that two and three make five, or that the whole is bigger than the half?
A53727Why may not all the Objects we discern about us, be certain Phantasms only, or Apparitions of the Brain, which have no real Existence in Nature?
A53727Why might not our Adversaries demand of us, how we come to be certain, that God is Righteous and the Devil Wicked?
A53727Will any man object and say, Where are those visible Characters of Divine Goodness contained in the Scriptures?
A67388( as well as those three other Persons be one Man?)
A67388And shall we then say, of the deep things of God, The thing is impossible, because we can not find it out?
A67388And why the Second Person, and not the First or Third?
A67388And, how can he then say, That to Dye is gain?
A67388As to the Question, How is it Possible?
A67388As to the Question, Why?
A67388By what handle can a Spirit Intangible take hold of a Tangible Material Body, and give Motion to it?
A67388For when there is in the same body, and so near, Semen virile& muliebre, what hinders but there might be a passage for them to mix?
A67388Now( as he there further argues) If, when he tells us of earthly things, we do not apprehend it, how much more if he tell us of Heavenly things?
A67388Of what Matter?
A67388Or, that God can not command the Winds, because we can not?
A67388The Objection is this: Since the Three Persons can not be Divided; How is it possible, that One of them can Assume Humanity, and not the other?
A67388With what Tools or Engines?
A67388and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
A67388of the deep things of God?
A67388or, Direct its Motions this way or that way?
A67388or, How a Pure Spirit could produce Matter where none was?
A67388or, Stop it when in Motion?

A67104Can a man take fire in his bosome, and his cloaths not be burnt?
A67104Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burnt?

A63706And how shall the Church be supposed to fail, since God hath made no provisions for its restitution?
A63706And what difference is there, if cases of necessity be pretended in the defect of other ministeries, but that they also may be invaded?
A63706For by what means should the Church be renewed, and Christianity restored?
A63706For since absolutely, all the Church affixes the ordinary ministery of Baptism to the Clergy; if others do baptize, do they sin, or do they not sin?
A63706If a Lay- person shall baptize, whether or no shall the person baptized receive benefit, or will any more but the outward act be done?

A36258Besides to what end can this post- nate knowledge serve?
A36258Could you even in these difficulties repeat your choice if it were reiterable?
A36258For how can it be known that a prediction was fulfilled when it is not known what was predicted?
A36258For if they had been revealed formerly what need had there been of a new discovery?
A36258If you were fearful that this were true, certainly you would not venture on them; if you be not, how is it credible that you do believe them?
A36258Is it therefore for the conviction of Infidels?
A36258My meaning is not, that these natural qualifications alone are sufficient for discharging the Clerical Calling?
A36258Or, if you were desporate of any other portion in this life, would you not either wish it undone, or even actually undo it if you could with honour?

A36258whether, if you have none, yet, you have not onely some, but all, the qualifications for this Calling?
A36258whether, if you have such as may render it dangerous, the danger be greater, or more probable to come to pass, than the advantage?
A33927And none durst question it?
A33927Are not Monopolizes and Monopolizers much more dangerous and dishonourable, in spirituall things then in temporall?
A33927Are the Priests of England Lions?
A33927As such a time will come: Who then will care for them, when their mountaines will not cover them any longer?
A33927Did ever Christ and his Apostles practise the like?
A33927Have not the Parliament declared against it?
A33927How may they be said to sell the souls of men?
A33927Humane learning, the language of the Beast, without which men are in their account altogether unmeet to medle in the things of God?
A33927If ever Christ and his Apostles appropriated Tythes to themselves for preaching?
A33927If ever Christ and his Apostles did remove from one Parsonage to another?
A33927If ever Christ or his Apostles had a hundred or two hundred pounds per annum for Preaching?
A33927If ever Universities and Schools of humane learning were in Scripture, called the fountains, or well- heads of Divinity?
A33927Is not this against the liberty of the Subject?
A33927Let any handicrafts man come forth and doe the like, if they could, they might well inrich themselves: but was ever such a thing as this heard of?
A33927May we not expect that the Parliament will call in this Patentee again?
A33927Was ever such a thing as this heard of?
A33927Was it not one end of the Parliaments war to free the Subject from it?
A33927Was not the Jewish Priests and Levites typicall: And did not they type forth the Ministry of the Gospel?

A697627. we find these words, Who maketh thee to differ from another?
A69762Again, whereas he asketh in one place, Who maketh thee to differ from another?
A69762And therefore says our Saviour, How can ye believe in me, that receive honour one of another, and seek not that honour which cometh of God onely?
A69762But alas, how few are they that examine the reasons upon which they have broken away from the Church of England?
A69762But will any men say, that Reason or Religion is therefore the cause of Heresies?
A69762Do not I obtain the comforts of a good Conscience, in having honestly endeavoured to know the truth, and in doing what I thereupon knew to be my duty?
A69762Does not this therefore call for particular acknowledgments and thanks?
A69762For instance, by this way we shall easily be satisfied, that that forementioned place of St. Paul, Who maketh thee to differ from another?
A69762If we have a better natural apprehension and judgment than some others, who was it that made the difference?
A69762Is not salvation of works, and yet must we work it out?
A69762Now is it not of running that we obtain?
A69762The Case of mixt Communion: Whether it be Lawful to Separate from a Church upon the account of promiscuous Congregations and mixt Communions?
A69762Whether a general liberty of examining and judging in those things, doth mischief in the Church, and be the cause of Schisms and Heresies?
A69762Whether a liberty of examining and judging in matters of Religion, doth mischief in the Church, and be the cause of Heresies and Schisms?
A69762Whether it be dangerous to private men to leave them to use their own judgment, and to be led by it in matters of Faith and Religion?
A69762and yet doth he bid us so run that we may obtain?

A30907Can there be any more palpable wresting of Scripture?
A30907He goeth about to prove this distinction of Mediate and Immediate asking, If the Prophets and Apostles, were not called imediatly?
A30907If it be the outward or the inward?
A30907Particularly, if the fourth command bind us to the observation of it?
A30907Secondly, He demands, What were the hazard to aver, that they were wanting in that which they ought to have had?
A30907What is that, which causeth a man to stand pardoned and so Just before God, and for which he is pronounced Righteous?
A30907What then?
A30907Whether there be any surer way then that for which the Bereans were commended?
A30907],[ Aberdeen?]
A30907is not the middle of the command as observable?
A30907what then, doth it therefore follow that they are aplicable to sprinkling with water, who is so blind as not to see through such silly subterfugies?

A61014Are not all the sins of all believers washed away in the blood of Christ?
A61014Are not all under the penalty of everlasting damnation though there were never a Christ to be believed on?
A61014But I may be certain if I beleeve?
A61014But are not the elect justified in the purpose of God from all eternity?
A61014But are not the sins of believers washed away otherways then in unbelievers?
A61014But doth not the doctrine of Christs dying for all contradict this doctrine?
A61014But how is it proved that the subject matter of the Gospel required to be preached to the world, is that Christ suffered for the sins of al?
A61014But if this be saving faith to beleeve that Ch ● ● st suffered for all, then who is it but will be saved?
A61014But it seems incongreous, that one should be required to beleeve what Christ did for others?
A61014But some persons who do appeare very godly doe oppose it?
A61014But whether doth it not follow from hence that Gods grace is subiected unto man, whether he will oppose, despise, or neglect the same yea or no?
A61014But why is such a doctri ● ● required to be preached to the world; to wit, that Christ suffered for all the sins of all?
A61014But why is this belief required?
A61014Can it stand with the iustice of God to require persons to beleeve with penalties annexed thereunto, seeing it is not in their power by nature?
A61014Have not all persons a rebellious disposition to the beleeving of the Gospell?
A61014Is it the duty of all mankind to believe in him for Salvation?
A61014Ought al men to believe remission of sins in Christ?
A61014Ought all to believe, that all sins are pardoned past, present and to come?
A61014Ought every one to beleeve then that Christ dyed for all the sins of all?
A61014Ought men to believe that their sins are pardoned yea or no?

A61014Q Is there any power in man by nature to believe this Doctrine?
A61014Q What meanes hath God provided for mans salvation?
A61014Q Why then is eternall death threatned to mankind for not believing in him?

A61014Q. VVhat are those glad tydings?
A61014What is that thing that is to be believed by all?
A61014What is that?
A61014What meanes is that?
A61014Why then are not all saved?
A61014Why then doth Christ teach us to pray, forgive us our sins?
A6634518. is there not some disparity in their Representation of Men, as well as in those other things there instanced?
A66345And they who acknowledg him to be this, what less say they of him than the others mean, tho scrupulous of that harsher Denomination?
A66345And what must we give an account of?
A66345But do not they think we stand before God only in this Righteousness of Faith, and not of Christ?
A66345But is that Right or Pardon at all properly procured by this Sacrifice?
A66345For, see you not?
A66345Had I thus stated this Point, I should ask my self, Do not I set Pardon too remote from Christ''s Sacrifice as the meritorious Cause?
A66345How unreasonable and unhappy would perpetuated Contests by where the Grounds pretended are of so little weight?
A66345Now is it possible that things should stand thus, and Christ''s Righteousness not be imputed to us?
A66345Now, Reader, can this difference justify mutual Censures or Alienation?
A66345Or, was he immediately obliged to die by the Govenant of Redemption, and mediately by the Law of Works, i. e. the Sentence is to be thus apprehended?
A66345Socinus states this Question and denies it: Are our Sins blotted out by any Compensation or Satisfaction, or else by Forgiveness?
A66345What greater expiating Virtue doth he ascribe to it under the Notion of an expiating Sacrifice?
A66345What then?
A66345When they say Faith is an accepted Righteousness, mean they that it''s a Satisfaction either to atone for Sin, or merit Life?
A66345it s premiant Sanction applied to us by God as the righteous Judg judging us by the Law of Works?
A66345it''s this, it takes away the Guilt and Punishments of all Sins tho past before Conversion, and however great: But how and wherein?

A3372133. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect?
A3372137. their Hearts were prick''d, they cry out in the midst of the Sermon, Men and Brethren what shall we do?
A33721And is this the Conditional service required?
A33721At how little a hole will self- Righteousness creep in?
A33721But they further say, that this is a conditional service: Why?
A33721Commanded us to believe and pray, what is that?
A33721Doth God mean this, when he bids me believe in Jesus?
A33721How should Hearing of things above our Reason contribute any thing to our believing them?
A33721If Faith and Repentance be thus always joyned together, does it not follow that we are justified by our Repentance as well as by Faith?
A33721Is not this the old, honest, plain down- right notion of believing?
A33721Is this the condition?
A33721Is this the way to quiet and settle the Consciences of poor distressed sinners?
A33721Is this to Preach Christ?
A33721Is this to be raised in power, with our Spirits made perfect?
A33721Life is promised, not simply to believing, but to believing in; in whom?
A33721Must we be set upon a fresh by him?
A33721No, no, after death he hath done with you for ever; he will not dare to look you in the face at the last day: He draw up a charge against you?
A33721The last enemy that shall be destroyed is Death, saith the Apostle; and must we have an after rancounter with the Devil?
A33721There is much Preaching and much Hearing in this City, but what comes on''t?
A33721This should awaken us to Repentance, are there not sins even mong us against the Lord our God?
A33721To Preach the glad Tidings of the Gospel?
A33721To work for Justification is to work for Life, and why should we thus turn the Gospel into the Law?
A33721What do you mean by it?
A33721What does that signifie, how ineffectual is it?
A33721What have we to do to repent of the punishment?
A33721What if we know no more of Justification then is absolutely necessary for our Justification?
A33721What is this Light of Faith, and how does it differ from the Light of Reason?
A33721What, must we work for Life still?
A33721When saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee?
A33721Who is against it?
A33721Who must draw up this charge, and manage this false Indictment?
A33721Why do n''t you do it then?
A33721You believe in Christ, what is the English of that?
A33721You''l say then, is the Law against Repentance?
A33721or thirsty and gave thee drink?
A31366''t is true( said he) there are Laws against Blasphemers; but what is this to the purpose, except it can be proved that Hereticks are Blasphemers?
A31366And can not the true Church now subsist, with that which she had in the Begining?
A31366And how shall the Magistrate be assured of the Odiousness of the Blasphemy, and Crimes?
A31366And what is this reconciling slaughter, with slaughter, and blood with blood, but the manner and custome of the Heathen?
A31366And who are obstinate and stiff- necked Hereticks, or constant upright Christians?
A31366But suppose the Magistrates should refer this to the Divines or Clergy( said he) to judge of, what more assurance shall they have than the Magistrate?
A31366But who can produce a Law out of the holy Scripture, that requires Hereticks to be put to Death?
A31366For how shall a man know a Heretick but by knowing the Cause, whereby a man is made a Heretick?
A31366How think''st thou shall they be able to Pay all the Customes, Taxes, Dues, Rights, and Assessments,& c. that are required in thee of thy Inhabitants?
A31366In summa, Was that notable overturning and remarkable change, which of late happened in thee, to this end?
A31366Or how can this work of tumultuous Teachers, bring honour to Gods Word and his Truth?
A31366Or was the Church of the Apostles no Church?
A31366Or what external Power, or outward defence had their Church in the Beginning?
A31366Or who is there in thee that will willingly relieve and maintain such, if external Poverty should overtake them?
A31366Through what impudency dare you judge them to Death( saith Castellius) that profess the name of Christ?
A31366Were thy Bishops reinstalled to exercise Lordship over Gods Heritage, and to augment the Sufferings of the afflicted in thee?
A31366Were thy high, notional pretended gifted Priests ejected, that they that are more Lewd and Prophane, might be brought in?
A31366What coercive Power or outward Protection had they?
A31366Who Teach according too, or contrary to the Scripture?
A31366Who are moved of God, or by his own Zeal?
A31366Who are wounded and judged in themselves, and who are not?
A31366Who believe well or Evil?
A31366Who do according to a good Conscience or contrary?
A31366Who hath heretofore defended the Church of Christ, was it defended by Pilate?
A31366Yet greater havock and spoile to make of the Saints, and of their Substance, than their Predecessors did?
A31366],[ London?
A31366alas for thee, how shalt thou avoid the Wrath that is to come, or escape the Hand of the Lord?
A31366for who will believe that all these who at this day are crlled Hereticks, are Blasphemers and ungodly Men?
A31366who hath taught you the matters of Religion, of which you are most ignorant?
A57960And do we act courageously for petty purchases; and faint and despond when we are to strive for Crowns and eternal Glories?
A57960And if all this be short, what will be available?
A57960And shall the Beasts act more reasonably than the professed Sons of Reason?
A57960And why may not the Spirit of God, working by an active Faith and Endeavour, fix Habits and Inclinations on the Soul, as prevalent as those?
A57960Argument can be made a proportioned Medium to prove every Conclusion, that Any thing may be a suitable means to Any end?
A57960Doth not Nature it self teach you, that if a Man have long Hair, it is a shame unto him?
A57960For can the regenerate be full of all manner of concupiscence, and at the same time be crucified to the Flesh, and its affections and lusts?
A57960Having sin dwelling in him; and a captive to sin; and obeying the Law of sin; and yet free from the law of sin and death?
A57960How can they do good, that are accustomed to do evil?
A57960If thou dost well, shalt thou not be accepted?
A57960It is no Question, I hope, whether God, or the Creature is to be first chosen; whether Heaven or Hell be better?
A57960May it not shame us, that we need Instruction from the Creatures that have no understanding?
A57960Though the way is streight, yet''t is certain; or if it were otherwise, who would not venture his pains upon the possibility of such an issue?
A57960We were made for Happiness, and Happiness all the World seeks: Who will shew us any good?
A57960What difficulties in my Duty, too great for Divine Aids?
A57960What is the example of a wicked, sensual, wretched World, to that of the Holy Jesus; and all the Army of Prophets, Apostles and Martyrs?
A57960What is there in the World, that it should be loved more than God?
A57960What pains are we to undergo in the narrow and difficult way, that the Glory which is at the end of it, will not compensate?
A57960Who can tell the exact moment when the night ends, and the dawn enters?
A57960Why should my noble Faculties, that were designed for glorious ends, be led into infamous practices by base Vsages, and dishonourable Customs?
A57960and what is the Flesh, that it should have more of our time and care, than the great interests of our Souls?
A57960carnal, and yet not walking after the flesh, but after the Spirit?
A57960how can these things consist?
A57960one in whom sin revives while he dies; and yet one that is dead to sin?
A57960sold under sin, and yet free from sin?
A57960that any object may be conformable to any Faculty?
A57960who then shall be saved?
A57960— Lord, are there Few that be saved?
A5017226. Who is on the Lords lide?
A50172Again, What have been the Authors from whom we have been afflicted?
A50172And Alas, have we not very much Injured the Indians?
A50172And have not we also Followed the Indians?
A50172And why have so many of our Brethren and Neighbours been made a prey to the most Savage Murderers in the world?
A50172Are you so, or are you not?
A50172But I pray, which of them American Cities, must New- England become Incorporate into?
A50172But in Compliance with it, Let every man seriously now enquire of himself, What have I done?
A50172But we are to enquire, What is implied in that presence of GOD, which we are to be solicitous about?
A50172But, What is it for a people to be With God?
A50172Do not I fill Heaven and Earth, saith the Lord?
A50172Had we ever felt the sore grievances of an illegal& arbitrary Government?
A50172Hear this, ye old men,; hath this been in your dayes?
A50172How came this to pass?
A50172If God be for us, who can be against us?
A50172If the Lord be with us, why then is all this befallen us?
A50172If the Lord had been with us, had all the wild Creatures that passed by this Vineyard, found such Opportunities to be plucking at it?
A50172If you are not, what do you here in this Lower World, where you can find no more of your own Attainments?
A50172Is God Holy?
A50172Is God Merciful?
A50172Is God Righteous?
A50172Let no man say, I am a sorry Creature, of what account can my prayers be?
A50172Methinks, t''were an harder Quaestion, Wherin should we not?
A50172Our Fruits have been blasted;& were they not abused in the excesses of Sensuality?
A50172Shall the Grandchildren of Moses turn Idolaters?
A50172Shall we forget the Hope of our Fathers, or forsake our Fathers Friend?
A50172T is a Summons given to the world in every Generation, Who is on the Lords side?
A50172The Lord is on my side, I will not fear; what can man do unto me?
A50172We may then defie, even the Gates of Hell it self, for, Cur metuat hominem homo in sinu Dei positus?
A50172Were you visited with Plague after Plague, in a long Series of heavy Judgements, as We your poor Children are?
A50172What Burden?
A50172What have been the Objects in which we have been afflicted?
A50172What shall I say?
A50172What was that?
A50172What?
A50172Wherein shall we return?
A50172Whither shall I flee from thy presence?
A50172Why have the worst of the Heathen had renewed advantages to disturb our Peace?
A50172Why have we had Fire after Fire, laying our Treasures in Ashes?
A50172Why have we had War after War, made upon us by a Foolish Nation?
A50172and shall the Children of Samuel become the Children of Belial?
A664774. Who hinders Men, or calls them back, from Christ''s offer''d Gospel- Truth?
A664778, 9. where are we, till infallibly experiencing his Gospel- life, and therein the Mystery of Godliness?
A66477And what''s this Chaff to the Wheat, the Gospel- Doctrine, Words and Things of God?
A66477Are all Mankind damn''d, both corrupt and righteous?
A66477But, what are Men like to get by this Contest?
A66477Christ asks him, what''s written in the Law?
A66477Could Mankind, or human Nature, at best, in Adam, chuse the heavenly Creature- life of God, shewn and offer''d them, by a New Creation?
A66477Could awaken''d Gospel- Saints think Paul elected of God, when they saw him a fierce Persecutor, and Blasphemer of all Gospel- Truths?
A66477Hast thou not bless''d the Work of his Hands, and encreas''d his Substance in the Land?
A66477He has spoken Blasphemy, says the High- Priest, What think ye?
A66477He that contends with, and reproves the Almighty, can he answer it?
A66477If it was reckon''d so, by eminent First- covenant righteous teaching and professing Jews, in Christ himself, what can his true Followers expect?
A66477Job rebukes her, saying, shall we receive Good from God, and not Evil?
A66477The very Disciples were exceedingly amaz''d at such words of Christ, saying, Who then can be sav''d at all?
A66477This may seem the dangerous Case of the self- confident Lawyer, that tempted Christ, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal Life?
A66477This was a narrower Question, than he ask''d, that said to Christ, Master, are there few that be saved?
A66477What a World of such, is there, now, in this World?
A66477What can his true Followers expect?
A66477What final, eternal Benefit, are all these like to find, from the meritorious Sufferings and Death of Christ, in our Nature?
A66477What is Man''s Wisdom like to say, to this?
A66477What wonder?
A66477While the God of this World passes for the true God, with any, what other Language can be expected from them?
A66477Who did hinder or call them back, that they should not finally obey the Truth?
A66477Will God destroy the First creation- works of his own Hand?
A66477Will he quietly bear this Discovery?
A66477Will he take away Man''s Reason, Wisdom, and Righteousness, bring to nothing all his good Works and Fruits, done and brought forth therein?
A66477Will the Disputers of this World, still contend with their Maker, in defence of their own Wisdom, Will, and Way, against his, for Salvation?
A66477a Faith in that Gospel- life, he will come in?
A66477as pretending to preach my Gospel, when Ministers of Satan''s other, no Gospel, in a direct Contrariety to mine?
A66477how readest thou?
A66477so as to do them the least Harm?
A66477will he not, by his humane Instruments, shew his utmost Rage against them?
A66477would not this be the asserting a Tritheism, the lesser sort of Polytheism?
A47200And did not he command her to speak unto the Apostles, and Instruct them concerning his Resurrection?
A47200And did not the Lord after his Resurrection first of all appear unto a woman, to wit, Mary Magdalene?
A47200And is not this fulfilled abundantly?
A47200And now, How can these Men be taught of the Lord himself, or immediately to Preach Christ, who deny the thing it self?
A47200And that the Apostle saith, if they continue what is to be understood by these words?
A47200And then what is their Preaching of him?
A47200And was not this Convention a Church?
A47200And what sort of Faith was this?
A47200And will not th ● se 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 to have all like themselves?
A47200And yet doth not this Principle of theirs, That wicked Men may be Preachers, and ought to be Received, lay a Foundation for a wicked 〈 ◊ 〉?
A47200And 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 being laid with their own Hands, will not wicked Men come in thick and throng?
A47200But which of them can say in the sight of God, at this day, they preach freely without an eye to money or outward reward?
A47200But, How came this Woman to be a Preacher of Christ?
A47200Come, See a Man that told me all things that ever I did, is not this the Christ?
A47200Come, said she, see a man who hath told me all that ever I did, Is not this the Christ?
A47200Could their voice be heard in the streets?
A47200Did they preach then openly and in view?
A47200First, Who taught her?
A47200Has not Man, and the power and dread of Man, oft shut their mouths, and Man, with a little of his forbearance, or winking at them, opened them again?
A47200Hath he lost the power of his Speech, or his willingness to speak, that he hath been so long silent?
A47200He hath told me all that ever I did, is not this the Christ?
A47200How can we have Charity unto them to believe they are so taught, while they deny that any are so taught in those days?
A47200Is he not the Light of the world, who lighteth every man that cometh into the world, that all men through him might believe?
A47200Is the Lord wholly absent from his Church?
A47200Or if he be present with her, and in her, doth he never speak himself?
A47200Secondly, Who called her?
A47200That no Women are to speak in the Church; or that Women in no case are to speak in the Church?
A47200Was it onely an Historical Faith, which Hypocrites, and ungodly Men have, whereof Paul and David spake?
A47200What great matter can they tell of Christ?
A47200What should men hear them for?
A47200What sort of Women then is it, whom Paul doth not permit to speak in the Church?
A47200Where is the profitting of the people?
A47200Whether outward and Natural Children; or such Children as Bernard expoundeth to be good works?
A47200Who, among them all, thus preach him from their own experience?
A47200Yea, do not many of themselves see it, and have they not complained of it?
A47200and that both in Believers, and Unbelievers, doth he not by his Spirit convince the world of Sin?
A47200doe they not remain still in their sins and wickedness?
A47200how much of this has been seen these years by past among these called, or accounted the best sort of them?
A47200or who preach him as the Psalmist did, who said Come, and I will tell you what God hath done for my Soul?
A47200what great or excellent thing can they attain by their Preaching, who deny that they can either hear him, or see him while they are upon Earth?
A93608A. Yea surely, or else how shall each person beleive he suffered for their sins?
A93608And why?
A93608Are all mens sins then remitted in Christ, as a truth to be preached to, and to be observed by all, though men do not beleive?
A93608Are not all the sinnes of all beleivers so washe away, as that the guilt doth not remaine aagainst 〈 ◊ 〉 them?
A93608Are not all under the penalty of everlasting damnation though there were never a Christ to be beleived on?
A93608Are not the Elect Justified before they doe beleeve?
A93608Are there any evills then that attend the unbeleefe of Godsowne people?
A93608But are not the elect justified in the purpose of God from all eteinity?
A93608But are not the sinnes of beleivers washed away other ● ais then in unbeleivers?
A93608But doth not the doctrine of Christs dying for all con ● radict this doctrine?
A93608But hath God elected some persons before the world began, which only shal be saved?
A93608But if this be saving faith to beleive that Christ suffe ● ed for all, then who is it but will be saved?
A93608Have not all persons a rebellians disp ● sition to the beleiving of the Gospell?
A93608Is it the duty of all mankind to beleeue in him for Salvation?
A93608Is not the sin of unbeleefe washed away in the Blood of Christ?
A93608Is there any power in man by nature to beleive this Doctrine?
A93608Ought all men to beleive remission of sins in Christ?
A93608Ought all to beleive, that all sins are pardoned past, present, and to come?
A93608Ought men to beleive, that their fins are pardoned yea or no?
A93608Q. Hath Christ then suffered for all the sins of all though they be unbeleevers?
A93608Q. Hath Christ then suffered the punishment due for the sins of all mankind?
A93608Q. Shall every one that beleiveth in Christ be 〈 ◊ 〉?
A93608Q: But why is such a doctrine required to be preached to the world; to wit, that Christ suffered for all the sins of all?
A93608Q: But why is this beleefe required?
A93608Q: But will it not from hence follow, that man hath free- will?
A93608What are those glad tydings?
A93608What is that thing that is to be beleeved by all?
A93608What is that?
A93608What meanes is that?
A93608Why doth God promise eternall life only to those that beleive, and eternall death, to those that doe not, seeing it is not in their own power?
A93608Why then are not all saved?
A93608Why then doth Christ teach us to pray, forgive vs our sins?
A93608Why then is eternall death threatned to mankind for not beleiving in him?

A10958Whether God enforced our first parents to fall?
A10958Whether it was Gods will, that Adam should fall?
A10958Who is God beside the Lord?
A10958Why God stayed not Adam from falling?
A10958Why ● ēpt ye God, to l ● y a yoke on the disciples necks, which neither our fathers, nor we were able to beare?
A10958Why, as though ye liued in the world, are ye burdened with traditions?
A10958and by thy Name cast out deuills?
A10958and by thy Name done many great workes?
A10958c What can the Protestant churches afford you?
A10958e Lord, Lord, haue we not by thy Name prophecied?
A10958or drink the blood of goates?
A10958or the manner of their creation, or offices established?

A10958who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods chosen?
A10958who spared not his owne Sonne, but gaue him for vs all to death, how shall hee not with him giue vs all things also?
A47199Also are there not times, wherein thou canst observe this to manifest it self more strongly, then at other times?
A47199And how doth a man give his heart unto him, but by turning it towards him?
A47199And if thou ask, Wherein doth the appearance of the one from the other so far differ, that it may be so easily discerned?
A47199And seeing the same help is administred unto thee, which was unto them, why mayst thou not find it, and enter thereinto as well?
A47199And though many do not this outwardly, as others who are more gross, yet how many do it inwardly?
A47199And why might not Christ suffer in men, before his outward coming, as he doth now suffer in them, long after it?
A47199And yet further, hast thou never observed it drawing thy heart inward, unto it self, though faintly and weakly?
A47199And, whether I am become a partaker of the Holy Life, and Powers thereof, yea or nay?
A47199As also, Whether or not I have passed truly through the other steps aforesaid, in some measure?
A47199But it may be said, Is not faith a work?
A47199But perhaps some may say, Is not Conversion a being operative, how then dost thou require us to convert, and cease from being operative?
A47199By this warrant, I say, I do not conceive that the Soul for every thing it doth, is to have an absolute and possitive command?
A47199Can the outward Sun shine, and inlighten the Earth, and have no operation, nor influence upon it?
A47199Dost not thou find somewhat in thy very heart discovering the evils and pollutions thereof in some measure?
A47199For how can a man enter into a way, and know nothing thereof, neither more nor less?
A47199For what is a man''s own thoughts, but the product and fruit of a carnal mind?
A47199How did God speak unto Cain, and expostulate with him?
A47199How have they come by this Holiness?
A47199How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
A47199I am unclean, unclean and evil?
A47199May it not be said unto him, Why standst thou so long idle?
A47199Nay, Such a way they have not known, and they commonly call it fancy, errour, and what not?
A47199Or did they attain unto their holiness by falling instantly upon working and operative exercises, as their Parents, or Masters have taught them?
A47199Perhaps the Soul may say, I do not find God or Christ in me, how then can I turn unto him whom I can not find?
A47199Some may say, If these things be so, then who can be saved?
A47199Thou maist say then, What shall I do?
A47199Wouldst thou indeed bring forth the fruits of good works unto the Lord?
A47199Yea has not God a way of saving Infants, and the Dumb and Deaf, who have not that express knowledg?
A47199Yea, are there not times that thou find''st it lie as a burden and load upon thy very heart?
A47199Yea, certainly they have, for how many Thousands have been Saved before Christ''s coming in the outward; who knew it not expresly?
A47199Yea, will not the Devil move strongly in them, to resist and mar the work of the Lord?
A47199and is not believing working?
A47199and what is the matter of his trouble?
A47199c. 3. v. 2. Who may abide the day of his coming, and who shall stand when he appeareth, for he shall be as the refiners fire and fullers Soap?
A47199or, can the Fire burn and have no operation, or influence upon what is next unto it?
A01638( At least Ex Actu& Potentia, Ex esse& Essentia) as the School speaks?
A0163817 Faith is an inward, saving, and efficacious knowledge of God: How then can that chiefe good choose but be beloved, if it be once truely knowne?
A0163822 For who can with patience heare the works of God thus blasphemed?
A0163823 What can arise beside his intent, without whose intent nothing can arise?
A0163824 And what are the Bases or foundations of the Earth?
A0163829 What?
A0163830 Ought not that which is to instruct the rude and ignorant, and make them wise and learned, ought not that, I say, be perspicuous?
A0163836 Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from sinne, my heart is free from concupiscence?
A0163841 And if the regenerate do perfectly fulfill the Law, why do they pray dayly, Forgive us our trespasses, according as they are taught by Christ?
A0163841 Can any one then deny that our Church is Apostolike?
A0163841 Doest thou demand how this can be?
A0163841 Who ever said, that Nothing was transubstantiated into Heaven, or that the Day is transubstantiated into Night?
A0163842 If there be no trespasse committed, why is forgivenesse required?
A0163845 And what wonder is it, that God made all things for Man, when as for Man even God himself was made Man?
A0163845 For what we have already obtained by Faith in Christ, what need have we to seek for by Good works?
A0163850 It is certain that Henoch and Elias live in Paradise: But in what Paradise?
A0163854 But what can the Intellect of poore man that crawleth upon earth know or conceive concerning the Intellect or understanding of the Angels?
A0163858 For what is Originall sinne, but the losse and want of the di ● vine Image, which succeeded in the place of Originall righteousnesse?
A0163861 Doest thou think to quench the flames of Hell by not speaking of it?
A0163862 How then can God who is infinite, whose justice is infinite, whose wrath is infinite against sin, be appeased and satisfied by a finite Contrition?
A0163866 Which fall of the Angels, what it was, seeing that the Scripture sayes nothing of it, who shall declare it?
A016387 For, How shall they preach, except they be sent?
A0163876 What doth it profit to have the Flesh sound, and the Minde corrupted?
A0163877 And yet what one of a thousand is there of those that Vow Virginitie, which keeps his body altogether impolluted?
A0163880 We are not certain that we shall live till to morrow: Why then do we deferre our Repentance till tomorrow?
A01638AS no such Maladie, so no such Balm Like that which can the souls distempers calm What soul is not diseas''d?
A01638And how then can they alwayes remaine in the Grave?
A01638And where is that but in the Scripture and Books of Devotion?
A01638And, What is the World?
A01638But shall I call him unhappy in his death, who was most happy in his life?
A01638Could not God which made both minde& tongue speak plainly and perspicuously?
A01638For who can understand his errours?
A01638How hard to finde A salve to cure diseases of the minde?
A01638How ▪ then can we merit eternall life?
A01638If all these Authours severally do please: How then shall he who joyntly hath all these?
A01638If it be life, why doth it kill?
A01638If the parts of Scripture then be perspicuous; how can the whole be said to be obscure?
A01638Love that custome of private absolution: For if that custome be abolished, what will the Church become?
A01638Or shall I grieve that I my self was not with him to take care for him for things necessarie in time of life, and for his funeralls after death?
A01638Shall I call him unhappy in this, because he is taken from me?
A01638Shall I call him unhappy, because he died in a strange Countrie?
A01638Shall we seek it in our owne words, or in the words of our Lord, which is the Head of the Church?
A01638That I can not: He that lived well, certainly could not but die well?
A01638Therefore let my foolish cogitation murmure, as long as it list, saying, Who art thou?
A01638Therefore they which live in securitie, and delight themselves in filthinesse and impuritie; How can they have inward puritie of heart?
A01638To School we must, to learn Patience: And where should a man learn Christian Patience but in the School of Christ?
A01638Was''t not great pitty that a book so good By English Men should not be understood?
A01638What are all our merits to so great glory?
A01638What hinders then, but that it may be unto us in this life a Perfect Rule?
A01638What then shall we do?
A01638Who but he knew That such an herb in Ger ● ards Herball grew?
A01638Who then can boast, that he is not a transgressour of the Law?
A01638Who would disdain Thus to be fetter''d in a Golden Chain?
A01638[ 32], 389,[ 1] p. Printed[ for Richard Royston, London] by[ Thomas Buck and Roger Daniel] the printers to the Vniversitie,[ Cambridge?]
A01638and if it be death, why doth it endure?
A01638and, What is that glorie?
A01638or, By what merits doest thou hope to attaine it?
A01638or, Doest thou think thou kindlest the flame thereof by speaking of it?
A01638what are the banks of the Sea?
A01638within what do they finde?
A20679& Hi sunt Dij qui eduxerunt te de terra Aegypti: these be the Gods which brought thee out of Aegypt?
A2067917. and what is statua but an image?
A20679And to conclude, that I may not be tedious, concerning the erecting of images in the Church, whether it be lawfull or no?
A20679Bellarmine therefore asketh why they said: Faciamus Deas qui praecedant nos: let vs make Gods to go before vs?
A20679But how can he inferre vpon this: that therefore we must giue place to him in this question?
A20679But how idlely is this brought in as a Protestant proofe of Recusancy?
A20679But what doth he cōclude out of these words?
A20679But what doth he cōclude out of this?
A20679But what is this to Saints departed, whose ministery ceaseth, or to proue the lawfulnesse of prayer to the dead which do not heare vs?
A20679But wherein lyeth the fraude?
A20679But( saith Bellarmine) if they did not thinke them to be gods, why did they inuocate, and call vpon them?
A20679Call now if any will answer thee, and to which of the Saints wilt thou turne?
A20679For it was questioned by me, whether Bellarmine spake out of his owne iudgement, or not?
A20679For who knoweth not, that verbum Dei est officio seruatrix humani generis?
A20679For, how doth he proue the affirmatiue part: That God will condemne them, it is in themselues?
A20679How much Epiphanius and Philastrius discent concerning the number of sects?
A20679How proueth he that?
A20679May not God do as much as the Potter may do?
A20679Now this being the question, whether the Church be founded vpon the person, or vpō the doctrine of Saint Peter?
A20679Nunquid deo non licebit quod figulo licet?
A20679Quid autem Petrus ille basis Ecclesiae?
A20679Secondly, how could there be praeuisio peccati in massâ integrâ, aforesight of sinne in the lumpe being sound?
A20679Shall this want of examination of a mans selfe, be therefore a warrant to any man to liue like an infidell?
A20679That because the Church of Rome is not condemned by a generall Councell to bee hereticall; it must needs be therefore orthodoxall?
A20679The praemisses are mine, but what is his conclusion?
A20679Thirdly, our question is not of the time when?
A20679This scruple being remoued, it remaineth in the second place, that we discusse this question: whether images are to be worshipped or not?
A20679Thus haue I briefly declared how the Church is not founded vpon S. Peter: But suppose it could be proued, how can it be deriued from him to the Pope?
A20679To come to the worship of the Gentiles, what answer doth he make to these arguments?
A20679What shall we say of Peter the foundation of the Church?
A20679Wherein let the reader iudge whether he hath dealt with me ingenuously or no?
A20679Why doth the Church of Rome so vehemently maintaine it?
A20679and so neuer to come to the Lords table?
A20679and so to be exempted from the authority, and coactiue power of the Church?
A20679but of the cause why God did predestinate?
A20679but of the cause why God did predestinate?
A20679can the faith saue him?
A20679in intention or in action?
A20679neuer to examine himselfe?
A20679or why should not the perill of idolatry bee as carefully shunned now as then it was?
A20679the word of God hath a sauing power, and that the ministery of the Gospell is the ordinary meane to saue mens soules?
A20679when integritas massae& originale peccatum, the soundnesse of the lumpe and originall sinne can not stand together?
A20679whether really or sacramentally, properly or mystically?
A20679why did they pray vnto them vnlesse they thought that they did heare them?
A20679will he therefore inferre, that either holding the fundamentall points therefore their superstitions and errours may safely be maintained?
A551083. we are told, That God condemn''d Sin in the flesh of Christ; but how, which way?
A55108And if meer Forbearance have this effect, what( may we suppose) wou''d have been the consequence of absolute Forgiveness?
A55108And in that other Book to which our Accuser refers us, he thus expresses his Sense, at his very entring upon this Point?
A55108And should not this( will it not) be laid to Heart by such as have any serious Regard to the Welfare of Christianity, or of their own Souls?
A55108But upon this Supposal, That that Law only oblig''d either Christ, or us to suffer, what reason was there for so dismal Apprehensions?
A55108But what Condecency or Becomingness wou''d there have been in it; if Sin might have been pardon''d, and the Sinner sav''d as well without it?
A55108By what Rules their Necessity, or no- Necessity shall be adjusted?
A55108Can a Penalty be said to be forgiven, that was not due?
A55108Can any one think?
A55108Christ is said to have made peace through the Blood of his Cross; but wou''d our Death have avail''d to any such purpose?
A55108Cursed is every one that continues not,& c.''T is denounc''d against no one but the Sinner himself?
A55108Did He bear the stinging Reflections of a guilty Conscience, the horrors of a despairing damned wretch in Hell?
A55108Did He lose all right to, and Interest in God''s Favour and Kindness?
A55108I''m well aware of it; and what then?
A55108If any one that comes after shall use the same Expresions( meaning, the same that Mr. Baxter uses) — I say( and who then dare gain- say it?)
A55108If one Man sin against another, the Judge shall judge him; but if a man sin against the Lord, who shall intreat for him?
A55108Is God unrighteous that taketh vengeance?
A55108Nay, why are not all in Heaven( whom Christ did represent) as well as some there?
A55108Now to what purpose have we all these Passages Transcrib''d by him?
A55108Now will this Accuser say, That in this Sense Christ did sustain, and suffer in the person of Sinners?
A55108Or is not this rather an unrighteous Doctrine, that wou''d reflect the Imputation of Injustice upon the Holy God?
A55108Or shall we say, That He was our Representative, in his Obeying, as well as in his Suffering?
A55108Or yet, that the Arrows of the Almighty do wound, do stick fast in any Soul?
A55108Or, only the value, and not the same full Debt?
A55108Or, with whom the Judgment of this grand Affair shall be entrusted?
A55108So that Death( amongst Men) has the nature of a Punishment in it, but how then comes it to be inflicted, if it be not due?
A55108Some but babes, while others are strong Men in Christ?
A55108This Surety is a Punishment with a witness; but how can it be a righteous one if it be not due?
A55108This therefore is the only Question that can lie betwixt us and our Accuser, Whether Christ was really a Sinner, or not?
A55108Upon this Principle, what hurt can Sin, the grossest wickedness do us?
A55108Was He every one of those very Men for whom He died?
A55108Well, but how must this Design be carried on?
A55108What has he to except against any of the Recited Clauses?
A55108What shall we say?
A55108What shall we then say to those numerous Texts, where we and our Sins are said to be forgiven?
A55108Whence is it that any are expos''d to the fiery Darts of the wicked one?
A55108Whence is it, that He gives up any to their own Hearts Lusts?
A55108Why are not the Influences of the Divine Spirit equally diffus''d?
A55108Why are some( yea, even of the truly sanctify''d) more freed from Sin and Sorrow, than others?
A55108Why, do n''t you observe it, here''s left out a Change of Persons between Christ and us all along?
A55108Yet again, According to this Notion, How can the Eternal Damnation of any Soul consist with Divine Justice?
A55108and is it not in Law paid, if either the Principal or Surety pay it?
A55108or can it be yet due, when''t is already paid?
A55108with what design?
A32801& Tertul ▪ de Anima Quis revelabit quod Deus texit?
A32801( saith the Disputer of this world) or one be three?
A3280110 ▪ Beleevest thou not that I am in the Father and the Father in me?
A3280114. v. 10, 11 b Deus est ubique totus in seipso: ● uōmodo ubique si in seipso?
A3280138. beleeve the works — but to what end?
A328015 To which of the Angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son this day have I begotten thee?
A32801A Son honoureth his Father — if then I be a Father where is mine honour?
A32801All this have I proved by Wisdom: I said I will be wise, but it was farre from me; That which is farre off and exceeding deep, who can finde it out?
A32801An etiam Abnegatio Christi quae fit corde in Ep ● cureismum prolapso sit peccatum in Spiritum Sanctum?
A32801And how come we to be quickned to this Godly life?
A32801And how is this Spirituall life maintained, but by the Supply of the Spirit of Iesus Christ?
A32801But I said, how shall I put thee among the Children, and give thee a pleasant Land, a goodly Heritage of the hosts of Nations?
A32801But we have cause to complaine of them, and Apostates, Idolaters, Atheists, and what not?
A32801But what shall I gaine by this?
A32801Can one be distinguished again and again from himself?
A32801Christ askes them whether they did accuse him of blasphemy, because he said he was the son of God?
A32801Christus est 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, credis vel non?
A32801Cùm in terris nullam poterit reperiri Judicium, de coelo quaerendus est Judex; sed ut quid pulsamus ad coelum, cum habemus hic in Evangelio?
A32801Dares any mortall man lay claime to these titles and this honour?
A32801For how shall God put us among his Children, unless every one of us say unto him, my Father, my Father, I do obey thee, and will not depart from thee?
A32801For to which of the Angels said God at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee?
A32801How can three be one?
A32801I shall not enter into that sad dispute whether this Personal Property be Absolute or Relative?
A32801If you ask Where God was before the World was made?
A32801If you leave out the Divine Essence or Substance out of the definition, how is it a Consubstantial or Coessential Trinunity?
A32801Is not this a grosse fallacy k, because of the imparity and infinite l inaequality?
A32801It may be you will reply as Hazael did, Am I a dog that I should be accessary to any grievous or unrighteous Decree?
A32801Let him consider his own confession[ these three] what are these three?
A32801May we not safely conclude from hence that the Spirit is a distinct Person, Another Person from the Father and the Son?
A32801Moreover, if the Father have not a divine and eternal Son how is he a divine and eternal Father?
A32801No, that he doth abominate: are they three Accidents, no, that is absurd; are they three substances?
A32801Quid aliud innuere volunt Quatuor cornua altaris aurei in conspectu Dei?
A32801Quis Poetarum, quis Sophistarum qui non omnino de Prophetarum fonte potaverit?

A32801The Virgin doubts of the first particular, and enquires how that could be without the knowledge of a man?
A32801The distinguishing question, which was then put, was the old question, Do you beleeve that Christ is God by nature?
A32801The second Epistle of Iohn the ninth verse, Who is a lyar but he that denyeth that Iesus is the Christ?
A32801What can there be more expresse or cleare?
A32801What is a Godly life?
A32801What man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man, which is in him?
A32801What shall we say to these things?
A32801What should Mary say for their consolation?
A32801Who is a lyer but he who denies that Iesus is the Christ?
A32801are they three Gods?
A32801if so, then created or uncreated; not created, for that he saith none will affirme: are they three uncreated substances?
A32801was it enough to tell them my Lord is alive, and calls you his brethren?
A32801whether they that dye in Christ rest from their labours?
A41780& c. Would not their Conscience flie in their Face if they should so speak?
A41780( as the Antients used to call it) except the Baptized Churches?
A41780* But how then shall Infants be saved if Baptism belong not to them?
A417801, 2, 3. do not as much prohibit one Man for having two Wives, as one Woman for having two Husbands?
A417801, 2,& c. be not the true Church of Christ?
A417807. be not clear Texts, that the Holy Spirit proceedeth from the Father, and the Son?
A41780Also, whether it be not absurd for you to ask for clear Texts, to prove unwritten things?
A41780Also, whether this be not an opprobrious, and ignominious Speech, for you to call the Scripture a dead Letter?
A41780And especially when this is the question, What sort of Christians are the true Church of Christ?
A41780And then, whether it be not clear, that all the Texts, which speak of Baptism in Water, do prohibit Infant- Baptism?
A41780And where are the Original Manuscripts of the Prophets and Apostles?
A41780And whether the Baptized Churches( commonly called Anabaptists) do not excel in these Particulars, all other Churches whatsoever?
A41780And whether the Papists have not confessed, in many of their Books, that Infant- Baptism is not found in, nor grounded upon the Scripture?
A41780And whether the Woman which St. John saw( called Mystery Bablyon) be not meant of Rome?
A41780And whether the first clear mention of it be not from Tertullian?
A41780And whether the one Baptism be not expresly found in the Scriptures?
A41780And whether the true Lovers of the Scriptures, ever vouchsafed them such ill, and indeed improper Language?
A41780And whether the written Word of God be a perfect Rule for Matters of Religion?
A41780And whether there be not as clear Texts to prove unwritten Traditions, Purgatory, and the Real Presence?
A41780And, whether it do not clearly prohibit the latter?
A41780Can we think that when the Holy Apostles preached, that they had still the very self- same Phrases?
A41780Dare they speak as they act?
A41780Did St. Paul mock after that sort?
A41780Did St. Peter do so?
A41780For what is the most ancient Record?
A41780For, is not this the Faith of all sound Christians?
A41780From whom shall the Church hide her self?
A41780How know you precisely what is the true Word of God?
A41780How know you that your Copies and Translations of the Bible, are the true Word of God, since the Original Writings are not come to your Hands?
A41780In what manner is Christ present under these Forms?
A41780Of the Case of Infants, or whether they were admitted to Baptism in the Mother- Church?
A41780Or for changing the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday?
A41780Or for prohibiting Poligamy, or Infant- Baptism?
A41780The Priest saith again, What shalt thou get by Faith?
A41780Then the Priest asks the Infant, whether he renounces the Devil and all his Works, and all his Pomps?
A41780These can not speak for themselves, more than the Scriptures: And whether, the Scriptures being compared together, do not explain themselves?
A41780What Church can you name that hath that Mark?
A41780What Controversie in point of Religion can you resolve without the Written Word of God?
A41780What Copies and Translations of the Scriptures have you that are more true than ours?
A41780What clear Text have you out of the Scriptures, for the Procession of the Holy Ghost from the Father, and the Son?
A41780What is the Blessed Eucharist?
A41780What, came the Word of God out from you?
A41780When we differ about the true Church, or the Meaning of Authors[ be they Fathers, or Councils] by whom must we be tried?
A41780Where we differ about the Sense of the Word, by whom must we be tried?
A41780Whether Vniversality both for time and place, be not an evident Mark of the true Church?
A41780Whether any man can shew this Mark, as it is here called for, without the help of Human History?
A41780Whether some Book must not of necessity speak for it self[ or be received for God''s Word upon its own Evidence?]
A41780Whether the Baptism of the true Church be not One?
A41780Whether we are to resolve all Differences in point of Religion, only out of the Written Word of God?
A41780Whether you have really this Mark?

A70688either the Eternal Generation, or that we are bound to believe it as an Article necessary to Salvation?
A70688namely, That one God is Father, Son and H. Ghost, that is, three Persons?
A70688or is it not to vindicate the Self- existence of God from a false Notion of it, occasion''d by the Bishop''s words?

A30628And doth Isaac stand but for believing Jews, and not for believing Gentiles?
A30628And hath not God said,[ because] I will be a God to thee and to thy Seed, therefore thou shalt keep my Covenant, thou and thy Seed?
A30628And indeed, it is much, that the taking, and the putting of the Sign of the Covenant, should( as it is) be called keeping of the Covenant?
A30628And is it so?
A30628And is not Baptism it self, as external and visible a Thing as Circumcision?
A30628And now, Madam, Is not the Baptism of Infants, in the Notion I have of it, a thing of High and Spiritual Nature, and of great Significancy?
A30628And shall the Promise indeed abide, and not the Duty which arises from it?

A30628But do you find any mention, that the Apostles themselves, All of them were Baptized with Any, or Any of them with the Baptism of Christ?
A30628But how pertinently this is said, I do not see: For to what Proposition in my Argument can this your Answer be adjusted and applied?
A30628But if you do approve It, why, in your Answer, do you cloud and darken it with words, and make as if you disowned it as a False One?
A30628For are not the Children of Believing Parents some ways Christ''s?
A30628For is not this an Old- Testament Text, as well as Gen. 17?
A30628Have not I proved the Seed here is Isaac in the Spirit Principally?
A30628If any ask the Reason, why the Females are not taken notice of in the Old- Testament, as much as the Males?

A43754And first said I, whether dost thou believe Iesus Christ to be true God?
A43754And must we upon this account stand charged with Persecution?

A43754But alas, how shall the most extended Charity that knowes them, be perswaded, to entertain such a high opinion of them?
A43754But how shall these Errata''s which one of 100. reads not, and few in comparison know the use of, take off this base aspersion?

A43754What Eye in these parts where this people live is not a witnesse of the tumults and uprores they make in Markets?
A43754What difference then between the Ministers and you?
A43754What do they mean in the last Quaere?
A43754What ear hath not heard heard of their open revilings, which they principally fasten on them in whom most of God and sound Religion appears?
A43754What profession wast thou of?
A43754What was the cause of thy coming into these parts?
A43754What was the promise thou hadst given?
A43754What will this advantage their cause?
A43754Where readest thou in thy Scriptures of a written Word?
A43754Where wast thou born?
A43754Which of the Ministers say Christ is in Heaven with a Carnal body?
A43754Which of the Ministers say so, saith Mr. Pearson?
A43754Why doest thou speake against Tythes, which are allowed by the States?
A43754Why dost thou disturb the Ministers in their publicke worships?
A43754Why, what difference is there then in this point( said Mr. Pearson,) between the Ministers and you?

A302006, 7. Who can stand before his indignation?
A30200A Resurrection, of what?
A30200Ah Lord, what a condition will the Christless Soul be in at this day?
A30200And again, if thou Lord, shouldest mark iniquity, O Lord, who shall stand?
A30200And do these struglings against these things, arise from pure love to the Lord Jesus, or from some legall terrours and conviction for sin?
A30200And how sayst thou?
A30200And when did we see thee an hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee?
A30200And why shall he that doth most for God in this World, injoy most of him in that which is to come?
A30200As who should say; wherefore do I deny my self of those mercies and priviledges, that the men of this World injoy?
A30200Body do they come?
A30200But can any imagine, that he there, should strike at that flesh that hangeth on our bone?
A30200But what should I thus discourse of the degrees of the Torments of the damned Souls in Hell?
A30200But, O methinks, with what careful hearts will ▪ the damned now begin to look for their names in this Book?
A30200Can any hide himself in secret places, that I should not see him?
A30200Death quaketh, and destruction falleth down dead at our feet: What then can stand before us?
A30200Do not I fill Heaven and Earth, saith the Lord?
A30200Do you not know, that the Resurrection of the Body, and glory to follow, is the very quintessence of the Gospel of Jesus Christ?
A30200First of all, men the most miserable, because we let go present injoyments of those that will never come if the dea ● rise not?
A30200For as truly as thou sayest of thy fruitless Tree, cut it down, why doth it cumbet the ground?
A30200He that chasteneth the Heathen, shall not he correct?
A30200He that formed the Eye, shall not he see?
A30200He that planted the Ear, shall not he hear?
A30200He that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
A30200He will reckon them up so fast, and so fully, that thou wilt cry Lord, When did I do this?
A30200How I say, will every Creature flie, run, strive, and struggle, to escape the danger it is sensible of?
A30200How will every one of these things afflict the damned Soul?
A30200If Judgement begin at the House of God, what will the end of them be, that obey not the Gospel of God?
A30200If a sense of some sin( for who sees all?
A30200If the dead rise not, what shall I be the better for all my trouble that here I met with for the Gospel of Christ?
A30200In the faith of what?
A30200Is any thing to hard for the Lord?
A30200Lord, who knoweth the power of thine anger?
A30200Now I say, when this part of the Book of Life shall be opened, what can be found in it, of the good deeds, and Heaven- born actions of wicked men?
A30200O poor hearts, how loath?
A30200O what Thunderings and Lightnings, what Earthquakes and Tempests, will there be in every damned Soul, at the opening of this Book?
A30200Sirs, ye are Brethren, why do ye wrong one another?
A30200That they should lie and rot in their graves eternally?
A30200Then cometh the end faith Paul, when he shall have delivered up the Kingdom to God the Father: But when shall that be?
A30200Thou tell est my wonderings, and puttest my tears into thy Bottle, are they not in thy Book?
A30200To this end, I say, how was the Shunamites Son raised from the dead?
A30200Touching the Book of my Remembrance, who can contradict it?
A30200Understand, O ye bruitish among the People, and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
A30200Wast thou one of them, that didst sigh, and afflict thy self for the abominations of the times?
A30200Well then, tell me sinner, if Christ shou ● d now come to judge the World, canst thou abide the tryal of the Book of Life?
A30200What acts of self- denyal, hast thou done for the name of the Lord Jesus, among the Sons of men?
A30200What hast thou done man, for God, in this World?
A30200What, know you not that your Body is the Temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you?
A30200When saw we thee a hungry, and fed thee?
A30200When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in?
A30200When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee not in?
A30200Where is the promise of his coming?
A30200Who can abide the fierceness of his anger?
A30200Who can eat fire, drink fire, and ly down in the midst of flames of fire?
A30200With righteousness shall be judge the World, and the People with Equity, shall not the Judge of all the Earth do right?
A30200and do you question the Resurrection of the Body?
A30200and how shall be he be convinced of eternall Judgement, if you perswade him, that when he is dead, he shall not at all arise?
A30200and if the Righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear?
A30200and that Christ hath marked, and Recorded for such a one?
A30200and that also against which the spirit lusteth?
A30200and when did I do the other?
A30200behold, he comes as a Refiners fire, and as Full ● rs Soap, shalt thou indeed abide the melting and washing of this day?
A30200hath he said it, and shall he not bring it to passe?
A30200how dreadful is it?
A30200how loath are they to partake of the fruit of their ungodly doings?

A63577Are ye afraid of the Commission?
A63577Are you of Mr. Chandler''s Opinion?
A63577Are you of Mr. Chandler''s mind in this Matter?
A63577But do you believe it?
A63577But how do you know that the Word was so Rendred by the Septuagint?
A63577But what do you bring this for now?

A63577Do you not know your own Argument?
A63577Doth he not know that the Church of Rome baptize things of an inferiour Nature?
A63577Dr. Russel Answers, Have I not put it into an Argument, and you will not suffer him to answer it?
A63577Gentlemen, are you not asham''d?
A63577Hath Christ two sorts of Subjects that he commands to be Baptized in that Commission?
A63577Here are divers Men of Parts and Learning among you, can none of you produce so much as one Instance to prove it?
A63577Here the Doctor was interrupted again, and they cried out, What do you tell us of Dr. Hammond?
A63577Here( saith he) a Question may be made, whether washing the Body in Baptism, must be by Dipping or Sprinkling?
A63577How can this possibly be true?
A63577How doth that appear?
A63577How shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?
A63577I speak of Actual Disciples, made so by Teaching; are these such, who( by your own Confession) know not one Letter of the Book?
A63577I would know whether Infants are not as capable of Believing in Christ, as of coming to Christ?
A63577If Mr. Chandler can give no Instance, here are divers other Ministers, Gentlemen of Parts and Learning: Have none of them an Instance to produce?
A63577Is it Nonsense then to say, that any Infants belong to the Kingdom of Glory?

A63577Must I n ● ● be permitted to recite your own Authors, and some of the gre ● test Men that have written since the Reformation?
A63577Now was this before the Commission, or after it?
A63577Ofte en wetet ghy niet dat soo vele al''s wy in Christum Jesum dedoopt zyn, wy in Synen doodt gedoopt zyn?
A63577Or, rather, are some commanded, and others not commanded, and yet both to be Baptized; the one by a Command, and the other without?
A63577Sir, why do you hinder Mr. Chandler from speaking?
A63577Sir, you must bring in that Dipping is absolutely necessary( as in the Question) what do you talk of Sprinkling for?
A63577That the Ministers had granted out of their own mouths that we had gained the Cause?
A63577Then he puts this Question, Whether it ought to be performed by an Immersion, or an Aspersion,& c?

A63577What, doth not Mr. Chandler know the difference between the Major and Minor?
A63577What, from the Commission?
A63577When you see you are like to be pinched upon an Argument, then you make it your business to hinder me from speaking: Doth this become a Moderator?
A63577Whereupon Mr. Sharp, the Moderator, call''d out aloud to still this great Noise, and spoke to this effect: What is the reason of this Hissing?
A63577Whereupon Mr. Williams askt him if he would do it to answer a Scrupulous Conscience without God''s Word?

A63577Why may they not be said to Believe, when they do not actually Believe; if imputatively they are said to come when their Parrents brought them?
A63577Why must Erasmus be thus slighted?
A63577Will you allow genuine Consequences drawn from Scripture?
A63577Will you allow good Scripture Consequences in this Case, or do you expect plain Scripture Words?
A63577Will you assert that?
A63577Will you fly from the Light of the Commission of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ?
A63577Will you grant that it is not Recorded in the New Testament?
A63577Yes, I do believe it: What then?
A63577You say no Person can give an Instance in Scripture whereby we baptize Infants: How do you prove this?
A63577and how shall they hear without a Preacher?
A63577and what do you talk of all the New Testament?
A63577do you understand Dutch?
A63577is all the New Testament the Apostle Paul''s writings?
A63577must I always be thus broke in upon by you; What is the meaning of it?

A54072Was not the Messiah promised to the Jews, to come of them, and to be appropriated to them?
A54072Were it not worth the suffering of much, the denying of much, and the bearing of much Judgment to come to this?

A54072was it not the Jerusalem below; Who was then Desolate and Barren?
A53932( is that from the evil of believers?)
A539325.25?
A5393269.31 This shall please thee better then a Bullock which hath horns and hoofs?
A539329. whether God hath not appointed all to be saved, with this proviso or condition, if they believe?
A53932: what every thing determined of God?
A53932But what is this to your purpose?
A53932But you say, this is the declarative cause, not the meritorious cause: what a sordid saying is this?
A53932Do you not fully know, That I hold that Repentance is first, and then Faith?
A53932First, That there is a people, which God hath chosen and Elected[ in his Son]( mark that) before the world was; Who denies it?
A53932How can God be said to be just, in case he condemns those persons for whom Christ never died?
A53932How can remission of sins be preached to those for whom Christ never died?
A53932How shall we that are dead to sin,( that is, by Baptisme) live any longer therein?
A53932I dare not say as one did that had been a great sinner, Quid si haec quispiam voluit Deus?
A53932I pray where do you learn that distinction of dying for all but not all alike?
A53932I would fain know what Gospel your principle will admit to be preach''d to unbelievers since the death of Christ?
A53932IF Christ died not for all, what ground hath any man to believe he dyed for him?
A53932If Christ did not die for all, wherefore do they exhort all to repentance, and call upon all men to believe?
A53932If infants are in a state of salvation, whether do they fall from that state when they come to act?
A53932If the power of believing be solely of God, how can he justly condemn man for not believing, seeing the power is not in them, but in God?
A53932Might not Mr. Hobson with less deceit, and more honestie, have sent some private and particular invitations to those particular persons he intended?
A53932There it was never said to the Creature, Make thy self; Here''t is said, Make you a new heart and a new spirit; for why will you die?
A53932Was ever such a sentence uttered?
A53932What if it be meant for less then all sometimes?
A53932What if some God hath so decreed it?
A53932What is the state of infants by generation from Adam?
A53932Whether do men perish because Christ died not, or because they believed not?
A53932Whether hath not Christ given out a power or ability to all men, to believe on him?
A53932Whether the fault be in Christ or in the Creature, that the Creature is not saved?
A53932Whether unbelief be the condemning sin?
A53932Whether was not Adam in a state of grace before his fall?
A53932Who hath saved us, and called us?
A53932Who made thee to differ?
A53932Who put the difference between Pharaoh and Nebuchadnezzar?
A53932Who put the difference between the Sacrifices of Cain and Abel but themselves?
A53932Who told you that God makes three sorts of sinners, and one of them he calls sinners in a Gospel- sence?
A53932Whose names they are that are written in the book of life, whether be they the Elect''s or the reprobate''s?
A53932and if they that disobey be not equally called with them that obey, how can these rise up in judgment against them?
A53932and is not his blood( after''t is spilt) sprinkled in our hearts to cleanse?
A53932and yet what a quoil the man makes to prove it?
A53932are all in Christ by Election?
A53932are you so carnal?
A53932but do any or all of these, or any other, say that he died not for them alike, or that he died for some more then other?
A53932can Faith be before conversion?
A53932can they be took away and remain too?
A53932did you ever hear me say, That Faith was brought up in men before conversion?
A53932do I deny Election or chusing out of the world?
A53932do I say a man may convert without the help of grace?
A53932does he lose any prerogative, by being unable to be the Author of sin?
A53932doth that prove he did no more for them?
A53932hath the man forgot himself?
A53932have you eaten of the forbidden fruit?
A53932have you such ignoble thoughts of the ever- blessed God?
A53932if Jesus preacht without the same spirit, how is he greater then Jonas?
A53932if not, how come you to know more then is written, and more then is true?
A53932if the elect''s, whether they shall not be blotted out, if they adde or diminish from the word of God?
A53932if the fault be not in Christ that the Creature is not saved, then, whether hath not Christ given out a power or ability to believe?
A53932if unbelief be the condemning sin, and sinners be condemned for not believing which never had a power to believe, where then is the fault?
A53932is his nature the less absolute, because it pleases him that his will be conditional in some things, as it is absolute in others?
A53932nay how is he equal in the power of preaching?
A53932or be drunk?
A53932or do you think that Christ needed to be sanctified by his own blood himself?
A53932or would you make some men believe and so be saved, which Christ never died for?
A53932that the highest improvements of Nature, without the help of Grace, will not enable a man to convert or become a new creature: what need all this?
A53932to such whose sins are already blotted out, or never shall be?
A53932was ever such a thing heard of among any that had the use of their reason?
A53932was that determined of God?
A53932what a bold attempt do you make upon the wisdom and holiness of God?
A53932what if Christ did do all this for all men?
A53932what if a man lieth with another mans wife?
A53932what must the death of Christ and remission of sins( for that''s the Gospel) be preacht unto all, for the sake onely of some?
A53932what occasioned you to utter this?
A53932what will God declare one cause and proceed by another?
A53932what, a man really in Christ, and yet at the same time a childe of wrath?
A53932whether are they in a state of salvation, or in a state of damnation?
A53932which if so, whether did not Adam fall from grace, and we in him?
A53932who denies it?
A53932with what Reason can you say, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and ye shall be saved to such as saved are already?
A53932would not any man think that either Mr. Hobson was distracted, or else he was desperately full of guile and hypocrisie?
A53932you say, They are freed from the curse of Adam: but is that all?
A3019844 p. Printed for G.L., London:[ 1674?]
A30198Also that he may deny to give them that Grace that would preserve them from sin, without being guilty of their Damnation?
A30198Also whether Reprobation be the cause of Condemnation?
A30198Also whether Reprobation be the cause of Condemnation?
A30198And doth he not make his Pots according to his pleasure?
A30198And how could the People believe and embrace it?
A30198And how could we have seen it to purpose, had not God left some to themselves?
A30198And is not his Will the only Rule of his Mercy?
A30198And may he not, without he give offence to thee, lay hold by electing Love and Mercy on whom himself pleaseth?
A30198Are all the Elect, the Seed, the Saved, the Vessels of Mercy, the Chosen and Peculiar?
A30198Are not some( yea the most) the Children of the Flesh, the Rest, the Lost, the Vessels of Wrath, of Dishonour, and the Children of Perdition?
A30198As touching the beauty and goodness that was in the Object unto which they were allured; What was it?
A30198But I say, suppose it should be granted, is it because Reprobation made him uncapable, or Sin?
A30198But how is this similitude pertinent?
A30198But how then is he clear from having a hand in the death of him that perisheth?
A30198But might not God have kept Adam from inclining, if he would?
A30198But still the Question is, Whether God by this his determination doth not lay a necessity on the Creature to sin?
A30198But was not Adam unexpectedly suprized?
A30198By Rest here, must needs be understood those not Elect, because set one in opposition to the other; and if not Elect, what then but Reprobate?
A30198Can the Ethiopian change his skin?
A30198Did not God know best what was best to do them good?
A30198Do you not know that he is far more above us, then we are above our Horse or Mule that is without understanding?
A30198Do you not know that he may refuse to Elect who he will, without abusing of them?
A30198First, Is it not reasonable that man should believe God in the profer of the Gospel, and Life by it?
A30198Further, What harm doth God to any Reprobate, by not Electing of him?
A30198Had he notice before- hand, and warning of the danger?
A30198Hath he spoken, and shall he not bring it to pass?
A30198Have they not the means of Grace?
A30198Hold, saith the Apostle; stay a little here; first remember this, Is it meet to say unto God, what doest thou?
A30198How is the Word buried under the Clods of their Hearts for months, yea years together?
A30198How much more then is he merciful and gracious, even in but mentioning terms of Reconciliation?
A30198If God, when man had broke the Law, had yet with all severity kept the World to the utmost condition of it, had he then been unjust?
A30198If not, how do they differ?
A30198If not, how do they differ?
A30198If they differ, where lieth the difference?
A30198If thou say, Because God hath not chosen them, as well as chosen others: I answer, Nay but O man; who art thou that repliest against God?
A30198Is he therefore the Author of your perishing, or his eternal Reprobation either?
A30198Is it because the Grace that he receiveth differeth from the Grace that the Elect are saved by?
A30198Is the fault in God, if any perish?
A30198Is there unrighteousness with God?
A30198Is thine eye evil, because mine is good?
A30198May I not do what I will with mine own, saith he?
A30198Must thy Reason, nay, thy Lust, be the Ruler, Orderer, and Disposer of his Grace?
A30198Or what falshood doth it command thee to receive for truth?
A30198Or who will say unto him, What doest thou?
A30198Secondly, With how many Oaths, Declarations, Attestations, and Proclamations, is it avouched, confirmed and established?
A30198Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
A30198Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
A30198The Question then is, Whether the Elect and Reprobate receive a differing Grace?
A30198Thirdly, And why should not credence be given to that Gospel that is confirmed by Blood, the Blood of the Son of God himself?
A30198Touching his working with some, how invisible is it to those in whose Souls it is yet begun?
A30198V. Of the Unchangableness of Eternal Reprobation?
A30198WHy then is the Gospel offered them?
A30198Was it better then God?
A30198Was not every tittle of the Law reasonable, both in the first and second Table?
A30198Well, but if this in truth be thus, how then comes it to pass that some ● eceive it and live for ever?
A30198What more certain?
A30198What reason hath he that is left in this case to quarrel against his Maker?
A30198What shall we say then?
A30198What shall we say then?
A30198What then should be the reason?
A30198What then?
A30198What then?
A30198What unreasonable thing doth the Gospel bid thee credit?
A30198What?
A30198Whether any under eternal Reprobation have just cause to quarrel with God for not Electing of them?
A30198Whether any under eternal Reprobation have just cause to quarrel with God for not Electing of them?
A30198Whether eternal Reprobation in its self, or in its Doctrine, be in very deed an hindrance to any man in seeking the salvation of his Soul?
A30198Whether eternal Reprobation in its self, or in its Doctrine, be in very deed an hindrance to any man in seeking the salvation of his Soul?
A30198Whether in the nature, or in the degree, or in the management thereof?
A30198Whether to be Reprobated, be the same with being appointed before- hand unto eternal Condemnation?
A30198Whether to be Reprobated, be the same with being appointed before- hand unto eternal Condemnation?
A30198Who could have thought that Sin would have opposed that which is just, but especially Mercy and Grace, had we not seen it with our eyes?
A30198Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord, or who hath been his Counsellour?
A30198Why do you not understand my speech?
A30198Yea, was it better then the Tree of Life?

A90402Is it not gone?
A90402Is not the glory of all sorts of men fallen?
A90402Let me ask thee yet again, Whence this cure is to be expected, and can alone be had?
A90402MY dear Heart, mine own Soul; what shall I call thee?
A90402Nay, is it possible to be recovered?
A90402O what a strange thing is love among Christians?
A90402Or are we to expect any other state promised in the Scripture, and( as some say) experienced by themselves, which this is to give way unto?

A90402Whether Religion hath not received a wound in the inward part of it, since this Contestation about outward things, and the outward part of Religion?
A90402Whether have we attained that Light, that Life, that Power, by which we are to walk, and under which we may comfortably sit down?
A90402Who comes near it?
A90402Who hath required this at your hands?
A90402Who is it that hath wounded?
A90402Who is this?
A90402Whom do ye embrace in your bosoms, your true Love, or a stranger?

A90402and whom shall he make to understand Doctrine?

A90402how quickly will the unquenchable fire devour such stubble?
A90402how will these stand against the tempest?
A90402or who gave thee liberty to vent thine own Imagination concerning so intricate a passage as thine eyes never met with before?

A90402what wilt thou do, when thou shalt meet with this Wo?
A90402when that Spirit that breathed life into it shall not only withdraw from it, but blow sharply upon it?
A90402when thou findest by sensible and undeniable experience that which thou thoughtest utterly impossible?
A90402when thou shalt not only find thy glorious beauty a fading, but the Spirit of the Lord blowing upon it with a strong East wind?

A44701And are they no way distinct?
A44701And doth he give any better account of infinite Wisdom and Power?
A44701And hath the Creation nothing in it of real Being?
A44701And if so, why such Union should spoil mutual Conversation and Delight?
A44701And is his Will the self- same undistinguishable Perfection, in him, with his Knowledg?
A44701And let him think away those, whether still he doth not presently conceive new?
A44701And now, thinks he, will my easy admiring Readers, that read me only, and not him, say, What a Baffle hath he given the Enquirer?
A44701And see whether this will not make all Religion cease too?
A44701And what is that?
A44701And which is a Difference with a Witness, in his Questions and Answers; He asks how many Causes are there in God?
A44701And who apprehends not in what latitude of sense the humane Nature is One, which is common to Adam, and his Posterity?
A44701And why, Sir, doth this argue him to have forgot the Question?
A44701And, say I, but why, Sir, are not the three( supposed) created Spirits intelligent Substances?
A44701Before there was any, was there not an infinitude of Being in the eternal Godhead?
A44701But doth it tell us what it is?
A44701But how can he soberly say that?
A44701But how knows he they are not all Infinite?
A44701But if any of them happen upon the Enquirer''s Book too, then must they say, how scurvily doth this Matter turn upon himself?
A44701But if they are distinct, they are distinct, what?
A44701But say I, how know you?
A44701But suppose them created with mutual aptitudes to Union, and united, what should hinder but they may continue united, without being confounded?
A44701But when the Discourse was only of a natural Union, what, in the Name of Wonder, made you dream of a Christmass- Pye?
A44701But where lies the danger of all this?
A44701But why can there not?
A44701But, say I, Do you know what infinite is, or can you comprehend it?
A44701Doth he not know that Physician and Philosopher, and his Followers, earnestly contended for what he says no Man ever pretended to?
A44701For I appeal to what Sense he hath left himself, whether Power alone be God exclusive of Wisdom and Goodness?
A44701For doth he not know all that he can do?
A44701For what do they modify?
A44701For who can doubt he knows himself?
A44701Hath a Man no Substance?

A44701He says, How can it be?
A44701How can any thing be divisible into parts which it hath not in it?
A44701How can he either affirm or deny of another what he doth not understand?
A44701How doth he know they can not?
A44701How inconsiderate a Prevaricator was he that took upon him the present part of a Considerer, so to represent him?
A44701I know what is commonly said of extrinsecal Denominations: But are such Denominations true, or false?
A44701I leave him to compound that Difference with his abler Considerator, Whether one Inch and two Inches be equal?
A44701I say, how can it but be?
A44701I say, well, and what then?
A44701I say, why can it not be?
A44701I would ask this my learned Antagonist, have saying, and not saying, the same signification?
A44701If contrary Natures might be so united, why not much rather like Natures?
A44701If not, what is become of his adequate Conception?
A44701If so, how are they distinguisht?
A44701If they can not, I would know why?

A44701Is this his demonstration of the impossibility of a Trinity in the Godhead?
A44701Is this the way to sift out Truth?
A44701Let any sober Understanding judg, will the same Notion agree to them all?
A44701Might you not plainly see, he here argued à fortiori?
A44701Now can he be thought all this while to mean an absolute equality?
A44701Or hath he no Essence?
A44701Or is his Essence a Body?
A44701Or is his Essence a Spirit?
A44701Or that Society not to be delicious?
A44701Or that divers other Commentators upon Aristotle, have some abetted, others as vehemently oppos''d them in it?
A44701Or that''t is Novel?
A44701Or to whom is it dangerous?
A44701Or whether Soul and Body united, make nothing different from either, or both disunited?
A44701Or whether a Man be only such a thing as a Pye?
A44701Or why might not a Pudding serve as well, if made up of several Ingredients?

A44701Substances?
A44701Suppose the Father infinite, can not the other two be infinite also, for ought he knows?
A44701The Question is, as he now states it himself, why may not three intelligent Substances — be united?
A44701This therefore he must say, or he saith nothing to the purpose; And why now is it impossible?
A44701This was the Question, not what John, or Thomas, or James such a One thought?
A44701Was there never a real Trinitarian in the World before?
A44701Well; but what is that distinct Modus?

A44701Why hath he only the privilege of exemption from being compell''d by truth?
A44701Why?

A32847And therefore our B. Saviour puts the Question, as to other Creatures, Are ye not much better than they?
A32847Are all created substances therefore of necessity corporeal?
A32847Are they not all ministring Spirits, sent forth to Minister for them who shall be heirs of Salvation?
A32847Are they not all ministring Spirits?
A32847Are they not all[ that is, undoubtedly all the Angels are] ministring Spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

A32847Do not uncreate and created, infinite and finite, independent and dependent,& c. set these Spirits and the Father of them far enough asunder?
A32847Doth not Holy Scripture plainly and clearly call them Spirits, as well as it doth God?
A32847For to what more rationally, than to the possession of these deceiving Spirits, can be attributed those wild extasies they are in?
A32847For where is there any thing of Matter, that can possibly reflect upon its individual self, or freely move it self?
A32847For why may not one word or sentence in the same period be literally true, and the other metaphorical; and so accordingly intended?

A32847How, saith he, could he be call''d good, were he the creator of vice?
A32847I will end with the words of Zanchy, If we may not invocate, saith he, those that hear and see us, and take care of us, how then dead men?

A32847Or lastly, Is there not as much of the Analogy of Faith, and the concurrent opinion of the Learned about the Angels, as about the Humane Soul?
A32847Or rather thus,[ Quis novit?]
A32847Or, if our spiritual Weapons of Truth, and Faith, and Hope,& c. are suitable to their nature?
A32847Or, what, if we should transpose the Subjects and Predicates, as some do?

A32847What is proper to the Body?
A32847When shall I come, and appear before God?
A32847Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the Earth?

A32847— And before them Iob''s Friends; Bildad, not without indignation, Wheref ● re are we accounted as the Beasts?
A32847— And if the Evil Angels are merely spiritual, why should the Good here be corporeal?
A32847— How is God then the Father of Spirits?
A32847— Nay, what will become of all the spiritual and invisible World?
A32847— Or dare he presume to limit the Almighty?
A32847— Well, but the great difficulty remains: How can an immaterial act upon or move a material?

A65465O Saviour, why?
A65465Or are these only Fancies, and the fair, but fading Colours of Rhetorick and Imagination?

A14001Art thou a cold?

A14001How doe the pleasures and cares of the world depriue Him of our hearts?
A14001How great is the profanation of His holy Day?
A14001How needfull is it, seeing otherwise hee can not loue his neighbour in Him, no nor performe any Act or Office of Religion, pleasingly in His sight?
A14001How precious therefore both to Priest, and people should this Hammer and Fire bee in a true account thereof within their soules?
A14001How shall a Bushell containe all the World?
A14001How shall a man serue Him, that doth not know Him?
A14001How vsuall is it with men to turne His Grace into wantonnesse?
A14001How welcome should hee bee, that would bring him newes of a medicine, which hee might easily haue, that would cure him, and set him vp againe?
A14001I say He will not: for who, that contemnes the Baptisme of man, is Baptized with the Holy GHOST?
A14001If Hee blesse, who can curse?
A14001If Hee curse, who can blesse?
A14001In whom desire I to end my daies and die, but euen in Thee?
A14001Is thine heart voide of zeale to GOD, or loue to Man?
A14001It is His worke: Or liue wee well?
A14001It is a fire to enflame thee?
A14001It is by Him: Affect wee well?
A14001It is true that God doth harden the heart, and deliuer men vp sometimes vnto a Reprobate sence, but how?
A14001It is well: but I will aske thee: What rare effects did it worke within?
A14001It that chaste, which is vsed to wooe mens eyes vnto it?)
A14001Magnificence?
A14001Must the horse bee forced to the Manger, must a Sheepe be compelled to graze, must the hungry( and almost starued) Oxe be entreated to eate his Hay?
A14001Now they that deceiue themselues, who shall they be trusted with?
A14001Now, how vnhappy is the danger, how grieuous is the sin, when a man is meerely of himselfe indangered?
A14001O repentance, what shall I speake of thee?
A14001Of both her heads, what if I said her husband was the better?
A14001One that can aduance thee?
A14001Or One, that is kind and louing, patient and compassionate?
A14001Or if hee view not himselfe in a true glasse, how shall hee see his true complexion?
A14001Or whether shall I goe?
A14001Or will a man acknowledge and beleeue in one hee knowes not?
A14001So, wouldst thou see how the Son of Righteousnes CHRIST IESVS is affected towards thee?
A14001Some say, Who will shew vs any good?
A14001Strength?
A14001The body is mortall, the soule is immortall: why should wee make more account of That, then This?
A14001The poore giue vs their prayers, what then though we giue them our pence?
A14001The world is mortall, but the soule of man is immortall; Why should that, that is immortall, bee pind on that, that is mortall?
A14001There hath beene an encrease of Faith: but how?
A14001These are deceiued; thou hast not a penny, hast thou a prayer?
A14001Thinke wee well?
A14001Thou canst do no deeds of comfort, hast thou any words of comfort?
A14001Thou hast no bread, hast thou a blessing?
A14001Thou hast no goods to giue, hast thou good counsell?
A14001Thou shalt not( quoth he) giue eare to the words of the Prophet, or dreamer of dreames: Why so?
A14001Thy legs are lame, thou canst not go well; thy hands are lame, thou canst not worke well; hast thou a good tongue, canst thou speake well?
A14001To whom will GOD giue His Sonne for foode to his hungry soule, but to him that receiues Him in the Sacrament?
A14001VVHAT an almes did GOD giue vs, when Hee gaue vs His Sonne?
A14001VVhich, what religious eare can endure to heare?
A14001Valour?
A14001Vnlesse wee know Him, how shall we loue Him, how can we trust in Him, how can wee serue Him?
A14001Wee are spirituall Priests and Princes, is it for a Priest to bee ignorant of his GOD?
A14001Wee desire His loue to vs, why then should we not remonstrate ours to Him?
A14001What a matter then is it if wee giue our bread, drinke, or money?
A14001What capitall and foule enormities are euery where heaped vp against Him?
A14001What cares a clunch for learning, or good manners, that blesseth himselfe in his rudenesse, and inciuility?

A14001What is the reason?
A14001What little zeale and courage is there in vs for His Glory?
A14001What more pleasing to malefactours, then to heare of their Princes pardon?
A14001What moued Him to make that difference?

A14001Who requires fine apparell at thy hands?
A14001Whom doth GOD admit into heauen, which is not admitted by the Minister into the Church?
A14001Whom haue I to guide and comfort me, whiles I liue with men on earth, but Thy SPIRIT?
A14001Whose sinnes are loosed in heauen, but hee, that is loosed by the Minister on earth?
A14001Why art thou not reconciled?
A14001Why should the soule that can not die, be buried in the loue of those things that can not but die, and come to nothing?
A14001Why should we desire a good body, and care not though wee haue a naughty soule?
A14001Will a man make account of that, the worth or vse whereof is vnknowne vnto him?
A14001Will a man serue hee knowes not whom?
A14001Wisedome?
A14001With whom would I liue, when I doe remoue, but euen with Thee?
A14001Wonder not that new bookes doe still flye abrode: the world is full of new braines; Wherefore not of new Bookes?

A5969213. he speaks of God, how comes that in?
A5969214, 15,& c. Is Israel a servant saith the Lord?
A5969214. Who made thee a Prince and Iudge over us?
A596922 ▪ When is Christs Government cast off in respect of the supreme power?
A596922. Who made thee a Iudge,& c. And when afflictions come, and you then enquire, what is the cause of it?
A596923. comes by hearing of faith?
A596924. never such clear light, never such an effectuall Word, as that of the Apostles, yet it was hid; why?
A596925 ▪ and if he be ● udge, who shall be thy Jailor, but Satan?
A596929 What are the sins, for which God brings into Bondage?
A59692Again, when men can not endure the wil of Christ, can not ēdure exho ● tations, what doth the man mean to exhort us thus?
A59692All you that are before the Lord this day, ye shall see an end of all perfection; but eternall things are not they worth something?
A59692An Elder reproves, and they will reprove again: What, shall not the Church have liberty?
A59692And as the Prophet said to Iehosaphat, Shouldest thou love them that hate the Lord?
A59692And it shall come to passe when ye shall say, Where ● ore doth the Lord all these things unto us?
A59692And when the Lord calls him to any service; Lord, What am I, that I should now pray to thee?
A59692As now Adam when he was in innocency, and had an immortall body, his food it should have been an immortall food to him; but how should that have been?
A59692As the 〈 ◊ 〉 of Iordan to Na ● man; How did they cleanse?
A59692Because Christ is not theirs,& are they bound to believe he is?
A59692Because, if there shall be no subjection here,''t is profest licentiousnesse, and not liberty in Churches; You have liberty, but what liberty?
A59692Brethren, what is a mans happiness in heaven, but to close with God and Christ?
A59692But I do wonder what rules of Conscience such do walk by, and if they do, where is their tendernesse to withdraw their shoulders from under the work?
A59692But may not many of the Saints hear,& hear the Lord speak; but not feel this everlasting power and efficacy?
A59692But wherein should I submit to the Lord?
A59692But you will reply and say, What if we can have both?
A59692Consider how fain the Lord would have you under his Government; for many will say, I have refused so oft; and what shall I now do?
A59692Did he care for Temple aud Ordinances?
A59692Did they not sacrifice those forty years to the Lord in the wildernesse?
A59692Do they only please fancy for a time?
A59692Even under heathen Magistrates; what then do they that cast it off under others?
A59692For examination, whether we do, or when a people do cast off the government of the Lord and destroy his kingdome?
A59692For if a man be healed of his blindnesse, and be blind presently again; what is he the better?
A59692For the case may be that there is but one Officer, and is he the Church?
A59692Hence also, when men shall cry for liberty to speak, an Elder forbids it; What, may not the Church have liberty?
A59692Hence when men shall hear many things, but to what end do you hear, or what vertue have the things you hear?
A59692Here is this gain to be without them, and therefore to cast off Christ: What will the Lord do to these husband- men?
A59692How did the Iewes hear, and yet not hear God speaking?
A59692How do you love it, love his Sabbaths and Ordinances, because of his love to you?
A59692How do''s this constrain you?
A59692How farre those humane lawes and Town- orders bind conscience?
A59692How have I hated Instruction, and not obeyed the voice of my teachers?
A59692How is it eternal?
A59692How is it ye do not understand?
A59692How many women, ever learning and never knowing, and many men learning and knowing what is said, but never hear God speak?
A59692How shall we have this by Gods Ordinances?
A59692I answer, that is not the question; but hath the Lord made thee willing in the day of his power?
A59692I beseech you therefore, Beloved in Christ, set upon the use of these meanes, think within your selves, What if the Lord had left me without the word?
A59692If Christ himself should come on earth, what would you have with him?
A59692If any one from whom we expect and look for love, passe by us and never speak; What not speak a word?
A59692If one should have asked men in those dayes what good is in your sacrifices?
A59692Is it in this, that now the sweetnesse, savour and remembrance of every thing that doth refresh him, shall last in it self?
A59692Is liberty nothing but indifferency and irresolution of spirit in the things of God?
A59692It''s naturall for man to affect sovereignty, and when the time comes of liberty, then it hath a vent: Who made thee a Lord and Iudge over us?
A59692Knowing, saith the Apostle, your Election of God; How did he know it?
A59692Look but upon particulars, doth the Lord once speak by the Word, and humble the heart?
A59692Mighty to pull down every high thought, who attains this, who can be thus?
A59692Neither may we presume to say to him, What doest thou?
A59692Now beloved when the soul does thus receive the Lord, the kingdome of God is come to that soul; and theref ● re try and examin, is it thus with you?
A59692Now examine and try these things: Is the Kingdome of Christ come into us?
A59692Now to take off this offence, I said, None can come to me, except it be given him of the Father, what is that?
A59692Now what shall they know of it?
A59692Now where is your sap and savour?
A59692Oh Brethren and beloved in the Lord Jesus, may a Christian hear the Word of God spoken, and yet never hear God speak?
A59692Oh but consider, hast thou no love to the will of Christ and law of God?
A59692Solomon hath a promise that the Lords eyes and heart shall be to his people which are under him: but if once they slip the Coller, then wo; and why?
A59692Some more principall, as Word and Sacraments; some lesse, How shall we partake of this power in them?
A59692That the Kingdome should be taken from them; what was that?
A59692The great reason why unthankfulnesse comes in, is; because they cost so much, as losse of estate, of wife, or of childe by sea; dost thou repent now?
A59692The people, they say; What profit is it that we have served the Lord, and that we have walked mournfully before him?
A59692The tears, prayers and blood of men are much; but of Christ much more, and are they not worth thanks that are of this price?
A59692Then they spake often one to another, there was good effect of his Sermon: now what follows?
A59692They shall be taught of God: wherein doth that appear?
A59692They think the Gospell concerns not them; what doth the Lord say to me, come so vile, and sinfull?
A59692What do you think was the moving cause of all those bloody persecutions, when the blood of dogs was more precious then of Christian Churches?

A59692What is the reason that they are under the power of their lusts?
A59692What is their power affirmatively?

A59692When is this done?
A59692When many miseries come upon particular persons, what is the cause of it?
A59692When not a hole to hide his head in, when a reproach of men, a worm and no man, when he bore the Fathers wrath?
A59692When other Nations shall ask; Why hath the the Lord dealt thus with his people?
A59692When will these Sabbaths be ended?
A59692Why do you make him a King, and ye will make lawes for Christ, and you will rule Christ, and his will shall not stand?
A59692Why doth the Lord do thus?
A59692Why doth the Lord exercise us with wants and straits?
A59692Why should ye be stricken any more?
A59692Why should ye be stricken?
A59692Why, what is the matter?

A59692Ye have offered polluted bread; wherein have we done it, say they?
A59692You look for love, do you not?
A59692You shall never die more; doth he give peace and joy?
A59692You would set apart a day of fasting and prayer, and say, Good Lord, what a curse is upon me?
A59692and if it be so, you may be thankfull, and say, Lord, what am I that the infinite God should speak to me?
A59692and what are the other?

A57386And dost thou, with the Devil, z say, Tomorrow?
A57386And is this a condition for thee to rest in?
A57386And then say with the Psalmist; Thou, even thou art to be feared: and who may stand before thee, when once thou art angry?
A57386And then think with thy self; Shall not I endeavour to hinder the eternal loss, and to promote the eternal salvation, of such precious souls?
A57386And then, if that prove thy condition, what will become of thy impenitent; hardned, unbelieving, and Christless soul?
A57386And thou art posting apace to the place of execution, as fast as the wings of speedy time can carry thee?

A57386For, what a meer Natural man hath done heretofore, why may not a meer Natural man do again?
A57386For, what if the Spirit of God draw and move the heart so no more?

A57386Who ever was, or can be saved without Christ?
A57386Who will seek to the Physician or apply any remedy, that feels no smart of his malady?
A57386Why?
A57386Will it not be infinitely better for thee, To be converted with afew, then to remain carnal with a Multitude?
A57386Without conviction, there''s no true sence of sin and misery: without true sence of sin and misery, who will be humbled for it or weary of it?
A57386and when he visiteth, what wilt thou Answer him?
A57386and who can u ● derstand his errors, how many they are?

A57386— Sirs, What must I do to be saved?
A4925215. says the Apostle, shall I take the Members of Christ, and make them Members of an harlot?
A4925216. it is said there that a wise man feareth and departeth from evill, a wise man is jealous over his own heart, what followes?
A492522. Who is the Lord( sayes he) that I should obey his voice?
A4925221. sayes Elijah the Prophet to the people, How long will you halt between two opinions?
A492523. Who is that God( sayes hee) that shall deliver you out of my hands?
A492523. it is said there, that for a long time Israel was without the true God; without God, how so?
A49252A confident Challenge, in which he outbraveth Death, and all the powers of the Grave, O Death, where is thy sting?
A49252And again, it argueth little judgement and consideration; Wherein is this life valuable?
A49252And doest thou make no conscience of performing the vowes and covenants thou hast made with God?
A49252And now what a dismall Text have I here to handle, and what a doleful tragedy am I now to act?
A49252And there shall come in the last dayes scoffers, walking after their own lusts, saying, Where is the promise of his coming?
A49252And therefore( beloved) I beseech you look to it, and examine your selves; is not God undervalued sometimes, when your lusts are set in the throne?
A49252Are they atheists that doe neglect the duty of prayer?
A49252Are they atheists that live a disorderly life, and walk in a course of wickednesse all their dayes?
A49252Are you contentedly ignorant of Christ, and care not to know more?
A49252Are you such men as are without the spirit of Christ?
A49252Are you without Christ?
A49252Are you without a hearing ear, and an obedient heart to the Word of Christ?
A49252Are you without an unfeigned love to the person of Christ, or without a true and saving knowledg of Christ?
A49252Art thou a luke warm and indifferent man in matters of Religion?
A49252Art thou now in Christ?
A49252Art thou tempted to Atheisme?
A49252As it is with a man asleep in a ship, the ship may bring him home safe to the harbour, and yet he not know of it?
A49252But here me thinks I hear some kind of people ready to object against me, and say, What, doe you go about to beat us off from our hopes of heaven?
A49252But here some may object and say; What doe you tell us here in England, that wee are without God in the world?
A49252But then again why is their being aliens to the commonwealth of Israel put in the second place?
A49252Can we beleeve there is a heaven so excellent and glorious, and yet shun it?
A49252Christ is full of grace and truth, Why?
A49252Christ says to Saul; Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
A49252Did you ever make a powerfull prayer unto God for him?
A49252Did you ever see your misery without him?
A49252Did you ever sigh, and sob, and cry mightily unto God for him?
A49252Do you take greater industry, and complacency in the committing of sin, then ever you did in the performance of any holy duty?
A49252Do you think that Christ fel from heaven, into your bosome whether you would or no?
A49252Doe you labour still to resemble God in holinesse?

A49252Doest thou any of these wayes entertain and harbour thoughts of Atheisme in thy heart?
A49252Doest thou make impunity to be a provocation to impiety?
A49252Doest thou place thy affections upon any thing in the world more then upon God?
A49252Doest thou professe to know God, and in thy works deny him?
A49252For the order of the words, Why is their being without Christ put in the first place of the Text, and their being without God put in the last place?
A49252He judged the cause of the poore and needy, then it was well with him; was not this to know me, saith the Lord?
A49252He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings; does not thy conscience tell thee O man, that thou dost not care for any command of Jesus Christ?
A49252How came you by Christ then?
A49252How doth God know?
A49252How many are there that can say, they never goe to God upon their knees in secret, to beg for grace and mercy from God?
A49252I am thy God all sufficient,( what then?)
A49252If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, old things are passed away, and all things are become new; are you new creatures?
A49252If the foundations be destroyed, what shall the righteous doe?
A49252Is hatred and contempt of the people of God, a badge of an atheist?
A49252Let me ask you this question, Did you ever see an absolute necessity in your own souls, of getting an interest in Jesus Christ?
A49252Let me ask you this question, How can you evidence that you have an interest in Christ, by your walking?
A49252Now this being the case of every man, what shall we do?
A49252O Grave, where is thy victory?
A49252O Grave, where is thy victory?
A49252O Grave, where is thy victory?
A49252Or do you backslide from the wayes of Christ both in judgement, and in practise?
A49252Sayes the young man to Christ, What shall I doe to inherit eternall life?
A49252The High Priest was not upon pain of death to come to the Mercy- seat, unlesse he brought incense with him; now what does this signifie to us?
A49252The strength of sin is the Law] How is that to be understood?
A49252This challenge is illustrated by a Prolepsis or an Anticipation of an objection: some might ask, What is this sting of Death?
A49252Thou that sayest thou hast an interest in Christ, let me ask you this question, How came you by your interest in Christ?
A49252Though you do not do man wrong, yet doe you not your own souls wrong?
A49252Though you pay every man his own, yet do you give God his own?
A49252What are the characters of those men that are without any reall interest and propriety in God as their God, in a way of Covenant and relation?
A49252What benefit will it be to thee, that you do no body else wrong, when you doe your own souls wrong?

A49252Why is it called the covenants of promise?
A49252and beg the Father earnestly for him?
A49252and doest thou carry in thy minde a forgetfulnesse of the day of Judgement?
A49252and how shall we extricate our souls from such a labyrinth of endlesse horrour?
A49252and humble, and meeke, and lowly as hee was?

A49252are you not weary of misery and sin?
A49252can he judge through the thick clouds?
A49252can we hope for such an* incorruptible inheritance, and yet be afraid of it?
A49252can you evidence it to your own souls, that ever since you were first born, you were new born?
A49252do we count it a priviledge, or a misery, and a burden?
A49252doth not God rule and governe and preserve the World?

A49252or the witnesse of the Spirit for it?
A49252that in simplicity and godly sincerity, you have had your conversation here in this world?
A49252that we shall enter upon it too soon?
A49252thou wilt not forsake thy lusts, nor leave thy sins, and therefore what hast thou to do to meddle with my covenant of grace?
A49252to be in the Armes of our beloved Jesus?
A49252to fear an enemy so often vanquished by Christ and his Saints?
A49252to have the company of the body, or the company of Christ?
A49252what Prince would live uncrowned?

A17400For first, hath not Christ giuen them many promises, that it shal goe well with them at that day?

A17400Haue they not receiued the earnest of the spirit, and the seale of the Sacraments?
A17400Haue we escaped so much danger, which sinne brought vs into?
A17400He casteth forth his ice like morsels, who can abide the cold thereof?
A17400He descended from heauen to vs, and shall not we ascend to heauen to him?
A17400He feedeth of ashes; a seduced heart hath deceiued him, that he can not deliuer his soule, nor say, is there not a lie in my right hand?
A17400Hee drew neere to vs, when hee tooke our nature; and shall not we draw neere to him in imitation of his nature, and shew forth his vertues?
A17400Hee is wise in heart, and mighty in strength, who hath been fierce against him, and hath prospered?
A17400How can we be so vildly infected with vnbeleefe?
A17400How can we murmure at our crosses, if wee looke vpon our sinnes?
A17400How could the surety haue euer escaped such iustice in God?
A17400How great is thy goodnesse, which thou hast laid vp for them that feare thee, and done to them that trust in thee, euen before the sonnes of men?
A17400I am cleane from my sinne?
A17400If Christ needed an Angel to comfort him, what need haue these of comfort?
A17400If God spared not his onely begotten Sonne, that was but a suretie for sinne, will he spare them that are principals?
A17400If all were taken, how could there be Election?
A17400If thou( O Lord) straitly markest iniquities,( O Lord) who shall stand?
A17400Iob 31.2, for what portion should I haue of God from aboue?
A17400Is it true indeed that God will dwell on the earth?
A17400Is not destruction to the wicked, and strange punishments to the workers of iniquitie?
A17400Is the Law then against the promise of God?
A17400It is excluded: by what law?
A17400It was most conueniently, and comely it should be so?
A17400It will not serue the turne to say, When did wee so?
A17400Know ye not that the vnrighteous shall not inherit the kingdome of God?
A17400Know ye not, that all wee which haue bin baptized into Iesus Christ, haue been baptized into his death?
A17400Knowest thou not, or hast thou not heard, that the euerlasting God, the Lord hath created the ends of the earth?
A17400Nay, what say I, a vnion?
A17400Now if any aske mee, how I will know a Principle?
A17400Now if any aske, What in the doctrine of the resurrection should comfort vs in those cases?
A17400O Iuda, how shall I intreat thee?
A17400O wretched man that I am, who shall deliuer me from the body of this death?
A17400Oh, how should this make vs easily deny our selues, if we could throughly thinke vpon it?
A17400Oh, what is man?
A17400Or shall a trumpet be blowne in a Citie, and the people be not afraid?
A17400Praise ye the Lord, because he is good, for his mercy endureth for euer: who cā expresse the noble acts of the Lord or shew forth all his praise?
A17400Secondly, hath God created this new thing in the world, that a woman should compasse a man?
A17400Secondly, he hath had an experience of the first resurrection in his soule already, and how can he doubt the rising of his body?
A17400Secondly, shall wee euer doubt our freedome from condemnation, that know from hence what a price was paid for discharge of our debts by such a surety?
A17400Seeing therfore that all these things must bee dissolued, what manner persons ought ye to be in holy conuersation and godlinesse?
A17400Shall I iustifie the wicked ballances, and the bagge of deceitfull waights?
A17400Shall the Father loue Christ for his willingnesse to die for his sheepe, and shall not we?
A17400That he might destroy through death him, that had the power of death, which is the diuell,& c. But why was the second person in Trinitie incarnate?
A17400The Goldsmith by his art can seuer mettals, and extract one mettall out of another, and can not God distinguish these dusts,& c?
A17400The Sunne must stand still: Fier must not burne: the Sea must not drowne,& c. 6 The extent of his gouernment; what a worke to order all things?
A17400The sinners in Sion are afraid, a feare is come vpon the hypocrites, who among vs shall dwell with the deuouring fire?
A17400There is one Law- giuer, which is able to saue and destroy; who art thou that iudgest another man?
A17400There is one law- giuer, which is able to saue and to destroy: who art thou that iudgest another man?
A17400Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoeuer thou art that iudgest?
A17400Thirdly, what an encouragement may this bee to beleeue what Christ saith to vs?
A17400Thou hast counted my wandrings: put my teares into thy bottle, are they not in thy Register?
A17400To be tender, and zealous for the glory and honor of Christ: shall not our hearts rise at the dishonour of our King?
A17400Vpon whom haue you gaped, and thrust out your tongs?
A17400Wee see here how he thirsts after the ruine of man; and if hee preuailed so ouer Adam, how much more easily may he preuaile ouer vs?
A17400What communion betweene Christ and Belial?
A17400What concord hath Christ with Belial?
A17400What hart cā stand before the serious thoughts of the particulars?
A17400What is man that he should bee cleane?
A17400What is man, say I, that thou art mindfull of him?
A17400What is now the life of our liues more, then to loue and to be beloued?
A17400What now should bee our hope?
A17400What profit is it to win all this World, if our soules bee shut out of Heauen?
A17400What shall we say then?
A17400What should wee dote on temporall things, when our soules are created to the possession of eternall blessednesse?
A17400What then, are wee more excellent?
A17400Where is then the rei ● ycing?
A17400Where is then thy reioycing?
A17400Wherefore doe you lay out siluer, and not for bread?
A17400Which of you can rebuke me of sinne?
A17400Which of you can rebuke me of sinne?
A17400Who can bring a cleane thing out of filthinesse?
A17400Who can expresse the noble acts of the Lord, or shew forth all his praise?
A17400Who can say I haue made mine heart cleane?
A17400Who can stand before his wrath, or who can abide in the fiercenes of his wrath?
A17400Who is wise, that hee may obserue these things?
A17400Who shall condemne?
A17400Who spared not his owne Sonne, but gaue him for vs all to death, how shall hee not with him giue vs all things also?
A17400Who will belieue our report?
A17400Why doe not our hearts say, Wee haue none in heauen but God?
A17400Why doth their hearts cary them away?
A17400Why settle we not our hearts directly vpon this Iesus, who is assigned vs thus wonderfully of God to bee our way, our light, and our life?
A17400Why?
A17400Will any man teach God?
A17400Will he regard thy riches?
A17400Yea, why fashion wee our selues vnto this world?
A17400and doe desire none in earth with him?
A17400and hath he spoken, and shall he not accomplish it?
A17400and hee that is born of a womā that he shuld be iust?
A17400and how ought our hearts to bee established in his well doing?
A17400and if I say the truth, why doe you not beleeue me?
A17400and if hee could deceiue by the meanes of a serpent there; how much more now, when he speaketh to vs by men like our selues?
A17400and in the meane time, what know they how soone the whirle- wind of the Lord may fall vpon the wicked?
A17400and the sonne of man, that thou visitest him?
A17400and to whom is the arme of the Lord reuealed?
A17400and what inheritance of the Almightie from on high?
A17400and what losse can it be, if wee loose this World, and find our right vnto the World to come?
A17400and with what compassion will he receiue vs in affliction, that was so afflicted himselfe?
A17400and your labour without being satisfied?
A17400are they guiltie of so many reasons, and fallen into the hands of a righteous Iudge, and yet secure?
A17400betweene his righteousnesse, and such vnrighteousnesse?
A17400doe we yet neglect to come vnto him?
A17400how are they like the very horse and mule, and much worse?
A17400how vnsearchable are his iudgements, and his waies past finding out?
A17400it is excluded: by what law?
A17400or shall there be euill in a City, and the Lord hath not done it?
A17400or that Catechismes are looked vpon so dully, and learned or taught with so little profit?
A17400or what shall a man giue for the recompence of his soule?
A17400or wherewith shall wee bee clothed?
A17400or whither shal they flie from thy presence?
A17400or why dost thou despise thy brother?
A17400shall he not giue vs his holy Spirit, if we aske him, as our Sauiour sheweth in the parable?
A17400shall we continue in sinne, that grace may abound?
A17400shall we not eate the sweete flesh of this immaculate lambe, with the sower hearbes of contrition, and griefe for our sinnes and vnworthines?
A17400shall wee euer loue the world and the things thereof, that heare, that God hath chosen vs out of the world?
A17400shall wee not at this feast put away all leauen out of our dwellings?
A17400such malice in men, and diuels, the sargeants and iaylors?
A17400then how should wee confirme our selues in separation from the world?
A17400was not he a faithfull witnesse,& teacher, that sealed his doctrine with his blood?
A17400we haue no reason to thinke of our selues, that we are vnsanctified, how can we, or you tell, who are not sanctified?
A17400what are those to the sufferings of Christ?
A17400who among vs shall dwell with the euerlasting burnings?
A17400why loose we our labour?
A17400why then doe we go about?
A17400why will yee still bee shut vp, and liue vnder the curse?
A65809And what might be the reason?
A65809But you will say, that it is true, these are excellent things, if one could live so, it were a blessed life; but alas who can doe it?
A65809Can a woman forget her sucking child, that shee would not have compassion on the son of her womb?
A65809Concerning the works of thy particular calling, have they not justled out the works of thy generall calling?
A65809Concerning thy recreations, have they not been unlawfull recreations in respect of the kinde?
A65809Consider, This is the question of a slave to ask; What must I do?
A65809Didst thou not by thy prayers intend and desire of the Lord power and strength not to depart from him?
A65809Do not even the Publicans the same?
A65809Dost thou stand out?
A65809Fear not little flock, it is your Fathers good will to give you the Kingdom: Do I thus?
A65809Fifthly, Or may not he make it be taken in this sense?
A65809First, It is too high: for what man or Angel is able to be as perfect as God?
A65809For thy Meditation and reading the Word of God, how hast thou performed them?
A65809For thy prayers, hast thou not oomitted thy seven times a day, if thou hast attained with David to that number?
A65809For thy thoughts, what have they been?
A65809Hast thou been more faithfull, humble, charitable,& c?
A65809Hast thou endeavoured to obtain those mercies and graces that thou prayedst for?
A65809Have not vain thoughts lodged in thee?
A65809Have thy words been to edification?
A65809How comes it to passe, that it is not so now?
A65809How exceedingly wouldst thou prize that Letter?
A65809How wilt thou spend eternity in the admirings, adoreings and praysings of God, if an hour spent so, is now so irksome to thee?
A65809I answer, what then?
A65809I answer; First, If thou sayst thou canst not live thus, I ask thee how dost thou know?
A65809If a friend should come to desire a courtesie of you, do you so answer him?
A65809Is it a friendly answer?
A65809Is it thus with me?
A65809Is not God their all?
A65809It may be thou hast had some perfunctory and carelesse desires, some cold prayers and faint endeavours; but didst thou ever set thy self to it?
A65809Lastly, Do I believe this, that God will give the Kingdom of Heaven to such?
A65809Love God with all thy soul, with all thy minde, and with all thy strength; and then thou wilt ask, not, Why so much?
A65809Nay, it is so; but how comes it to passe, that it is not so to us?
A65809Seventhly, When thou hast raised any observation from the words, then thou art to put one of these three questions to thy selfe; Do I thus?
A65809Shall we leave an Heaven of joys, the God of mercies?
A65809So David had a whole Kingdome to look to, besides continuall wars, and yet how often did he pray, every day; how frequent was he in meditation?
A65809So, if an Angel should bring a message from heaven to us, how would we observe and follow it?
A65809Suppose God, when you goe to prayers, should answer you so, How can you prove that I am bound to give you such a mercy?
A65809That he knew nothing by himself?
A65809Then, Is it thus with me?
A65809Thirdly, That the wickedest man may have something good in him, but nothing perfect; and as it followes; What reward have ye?
A65809Was Satan, the flesh, the world, all or either of these not their enemies as much as ours?
A65809Wel, how hast thou prayed?
A65809Well, after that, what didst thou doe such an hour and such and hour,& c?
A65809Well, but what are thy thoughts when thou first wakest?
A65809Well, what didst thou think of afterwards, didst thou keep thy thoughts close to God, untill thy morning exercise?
A65809What can Christ say or do more then he hath done?
A65809What do you think now?
A65809What have thy words been?
A65809What high expressions of joy, love, and heavenly desires are there in the Psalms?
A65809What power have they had upon thy heart this day?
A65809What resolutions didst thou make?
A65809What returns of thy prayers hast thou had this day?
A65809What were thy prayers?
A65809What, doe we think all these holy Examples are set down in the Scripture to find us matter of discourse?
A65809Where, when, and with whom hast thou discoursed, and what hath thy discourse been of?
A65809Whether ye eat or drinke, or whatsoever ye do, doe all to the glory of God: do we live up to the meaning of these words?
A65809With what reverence and attention would''st thou observe, and what obedience to a tittle would''st thou give to such Messages?
A65809Wouldest thou not mark every word, and every syllable?
A65809a desire to please men, and to get their good word and will?
A65809am I little in mine own eyes?
A65809am I one of Christ''s flock?
A65809am I one of that small number that shall be saved?
A65809an Infant of its life, for no default of either?
A65809and Daniel?
A65809and can we imagine that the lives of those that take upon them the names of Christians, are any whit sutable to these expressions?
A65809and foolish, for would not the living child be dead when it was divided into half?
A65809and how hast thou kept them?
A65809and shall he not be ours when we come thither?
A65809and what enemies or hinderances have we that they had not?
A65809and, believe I thus?
A65809and, why should God hate Esau, and love Jacob?
A65809are they of God, or of the World?
A65809but doth it not much rather import a sweet, constant, and strict communion with God?
A65809but the question of a friend and a child is, What may I doe to please my Father or my friend?
A65809but, Why no more?
A65809didst thou dresse thy soul, as thou didst dresse thy body?
A65809didst thou ever make it thy businesse?
A65809didst thou ever pray with half that earnestnesse for grace, as ambitious men do sue for places and preferments, or a condemned man for a pardon?
A65809didst thou ever try what might be done in this case?
A65809do we honour God as much as we do honour an Angel, or an holy man?
A65809do you think the Emperor wil be pleased with her, coming upon those terms?
A65809for if the Sunne shines upon the good, how can it but shine upon the bad also, since they are in one Kingdome, in one Towne, in one house?
A65809hast thou bound up thy devotion to such a number of times of going to God?
A65809hast thou not left off thy communion with God?
A65809hast thou not made a sport of sin, making that a recreation which should be thy grief?
A65809hast thou not made a vocation of recreation?
A65809hast thou not sold thy conscience with thy wares?
A65809hast thou not unnecessarily omitted thy set times for spirituall duties?
A65809hast thou not used recreations, when thou shouldest have put on sackcloth, not being sensible of the afflictions of Joseph?
A65809hast thou performed that duty as a task, or as a means?
A65809have not thy recreations been unlawfull in respect of time?
A65809have they been fervent as well as frequent?
A65809have they not been unseasonable?
A65809have thy thoughts of God been worthy of God?
A65809how are they continually taken up with thoughts of admiration of the excellencies of God, of the love of God?
A65809how can you prove that I am bound to do it?
A65809how fervently would they praise him?
A65809how shall it then be thine Heaven, if it be now thine hell?
A65809how strictly wouldest thou observe every syllable?
A65809how unproportionable and unsutable are the lives of Christians to the rule of Christ, and how few doe account it their businesse to be Christians?
A65809how would their songs of praise be all flames of love?
A65809how wouldest thou rejoyce and long to read it?
A65809is he that man that was full of God?
A65809making that thy delight, which should make a Christian weep?
A65809of dust and ashes, his enjoyment of himself, is his happinesse; how comes it to passe that it is not thine?
A65809one may say of your blessings, Have not the Publicans the same?
A65809or had they better weapons and armour to fight against them then we have?
A65809or have not thy recreations taken up too much time?
A65809or have not thy thoughts been taken up too much with them?
A65809or have not thy thoughts of God been such that thou shouldest have had of the world, and thoughts of the world such as thou shouldest have had of God?
A65809or how often soever thy set times are, hast thou not omitted them?
A65809or that the wisedome of God set down an idaea of holinesse, as Plato hath done of a Common- wealth?
A65809or were they not set down for our imitation?
A65809shall we leave all these for these, vanities which we must leave, and will leave us?
A65809that is, for the first branch, Fear not; do I fear?
A65809the creature is not his happinesse, but himselfe; and if God be enough for himselfe, shall be not be enough for thee?
A65809thou must give an account at the last day for every idle word: how many hast thou spoken this day?
A65809to what a numberlesse number would they arise to in few years?
A65809were they faithfull, fervent, reverent, humble?
A65809with how much faith, zeal, meeknesse, holinesse, breathings after God did they live?
A65809yea they may forget, yet will not I forget thee: the Lord doth not say, can women?
A65874( But dare he say that Jacob Behoman owns his doctrine herein?
A65874( How ignorant and confus''d doth this our Opposet shew himself?)
A65874( strange doctrine) Mayst thou not herein as well exclude Christ as his Spirit( who are One?)
A65874* O ● ght there not rather to be enjoy''d a Deliverance upon it, Ipso Facto?
A6587422. granted to his appearance in Believers, through Faith by his Spirit for Salvation?
A6587430?
A65874And after what manner dost thou pray to God?
A65874And are not his Works in his People as acceptable to God as ever( being true in him and in us) from the dignity of him that worketh them?
A65874And because the Chastizement of our Peace was upon Christ, does it therefore follow, That we must never be chastiz''d?
A65874And can any Law or Light, then what is Divine, and of a Gospel Nature, discover it?
A65874And darest thou say, That God had not Love to M ● nkind before he sent his Son in the Flesh?
A65874And did not David call to, and beseech God, to save him, and to shew Mercy unto him, long before Christ( as of Mary) was born?
A65874And did not the Apostle know him to be their everlasting Salvation, Justification, and Redemption?
A65874And do not these Groanings imply an inward and spiritual suffering?
A65874And hath not the Grace of God, which brings Salvation, appear''d unto all men?
A65874And he that hath not the Son hath not Life: How amply hath both Christ and his Apostles testified of his being in his chosen Ones?
A65874And how then can God condemn any for sin, if thy Doctrine be true?
A65874And if all these things are so purchas''d and perfected without for Sinners, or the whole World, what must be the Spirit''s operation within?
A65874And if thou deny''st him come in the Flesh, art not thou an Antichrist?
A65874And must the Spirit of God have no Hand or part in this?
A65874And of whom did God purchase Salvation, according to thy strange manner of Expre ● sion?
A65874And that he Existeth outwardly bodily without us, at God''s Right- hand: What Scripture Proof hath he for these words?)
A65874And then, What, and where, is God''s Right- hand?
A65874And was not Christ spiritually crucified in Sodom and Aegypt?
A65874And was not the ingrafted Word that which sav''d the Soul?
A65874And was not this in the Name of the Lord Jesus, who is the Elect, the promis''d Seed?
A65874And what Name or Title dost thou go under?
A65874And what if ye shall see the Son of Man ascend up, where he was before?
A65874And what is Hosanna?
A65874And what is his then, but an old Devil- working spirit?
A65874And where doth the Scripture say, He is outwardly and bodily glorified at God''s Right- hand?
A65874And whereas concerning the Law or Light in every man, he instanceth, Doth not even Nature it self teach?
A65874And whereas thou queriest, By what Scripture can I prove that Christ died for a Seed in man that needed Redemption, which Seed is Christ in every man?
A65874And whether, while Persons are at enmity, they be then actually reconcil''d?
A65874And which hast thou more Honour''d, Him, or Mary?
A65874And who ever said that they were?
A65874And who were they that said, Is not this the Carpenter, the Son of Mary?
A65874Answer how antichristian it is?
A65874Art thou a Presbyterian, or a Presbyterian- Independant, or both?
A65874But do not the Papists honour him as much as thou, in their frequ ● nt calling him the Son of Mary, as thou hast done?
A65874But have not some of thy Brethren confessed, That Sanctification and Justification are inseparable Companions?
A65874But is it not Sin, and its Enmity within, which Christ came to redeem and reconcile man from?
A65874But when one said unto Christ, Behold thy Mother and thy Brethren stand without,& c. He answer''d, who is my Mother, and who are my Brethren?
A65874Did he not come in the Flesh?
A65874Did he so justifie Sinners by his Death, and after rise again, either to add to their Justification, or do it over again?
A65874Did the Apostles preach a false Christ, or another then the true?
A65874Did they Honour him in those Expressions?
A65874Do these termes express the Glory that he had with the Father before the World began, in which he is now glorified?
A65874Dost thou ask Forgiveness for thy sins?
A65874Dost thou not expect a perfest Sanctification, and Deliverance from Sin till after thou art deceas''d?
A65874First, Whether or no the Throne of David, which was promised to be given him to sit upon, be an outward Throne?
A65874For did not he, even Jesus Christ, take on him the form of a Servant, according to plain Scripture?
A65874For that is ● ot of the Nature of Forgiveness: And what doth Christ make intercession for?
A65874For, can any be justif ● ed, or made Righteous, without the work ● f the Spirit, or Seed of God within?
A65874Hath he not herein done that by another, which he would not have done by himself?
A65874How came he to speak of the Son of God then?
A65874How ● art thou not asham''d thus falsly to charge us, and yet a few Lines after, in contradiction to thy self, to clear us again?
A65874I beseech thee forgive me my Debts?
A65874I would ask this man, Whether this Nature he speaks of was pure or impure, corrupt or incorrupt?
A65874If David then call him Lord, how is he his Son?
A65874If thou dost not, how art thou in the Method of the Gospel, and how art thou perfectly justify''d?
A65874Is Marriage an Argument of Imperfection?
A65874Is it for something he hath purchas''d and compleat ● d with God already?
A65874Is it good Doctrine to say, That men are perfectly justified while under the Wrath of God?
A65874Is it not Anti- christian Doctrine, to deny this enlightening true Light to be Christ, and to scoff at us for asserting it?
A65874Is it not, Save now I beseech thee?
A65874Is not the Seed sown to bring forth the Fruits of Righteousness?
A65874Is there any higher Power, then the Eternal Power and Godhead?
A65874Is this a sufficient Argument against Perfection?
A65874Know ye not, how that Jesus Christ is in you?
A65874M ● rk now, where is the Contradiction between G. F. and I?
A65874May we not rather look upon thee to be an Antinomian, Presbyterian, and Independant?
A65874Nay, doth it not rather make more against thee; that the Servants of Christ meet with such Exercises for the Work''s sake, which is not for sin?
A65874Note Note Notes for div A65874-e4700* Why did he not call Mary the Mother of God( as Papists do) which to be sure is not Scripture Language?
A65874Now I ask, Was this a Natural Seed?

A45280ANd now, what is to be done?
A45280Alas, what anguish do I feel in my self to see the body of a malefactour flaming at a stake?
A45280And how safe are we under so many, and so mighty Protectors?
A45280And if any then of those spirits could have been originally evil, whence could he pretend to fetch it?
A45280And now, Lord, what pure and resplendent light is this, wherein thy blessed ones dwel?
A45280And what a strange confusion were this, in stead of an heavenly order of remuneration?
A45280But let thy favour, O God, order and accompany the deputation of the lowest of thine Angels; what can all the troops of hell hurt us?
A45280But, O ye blessed, immortal glorious spirits, who can know you, but he that is of you?
A45280Can we make any doubt that the blessed Angels know each other?
A45280Canst thou believe this O my soul, and yet recoil ● t the thought of thy departure?
A45280Do they despise these houses of clay, wherein they once dwelt?

A45280HOw often have I begged of my God, that it would please him to shew me some little glimpse of the glory of his Saints?
A45280He that can so easily transform himself, will seem to doe good; What cures doth he often work?
A45280How are my thoughts at a losse in this place of confusion?
A45280How can it be otherwise?
A45280How do they spend, not their time, but their eternity?
A45280How is the earth every where drenched with humane bloud?
A45280How justly did thine Ecstatical Apostle call it the inheritance of the Saints in light?
A45280How safe are we, since their power is limited, our protection infinite?
A45280How?
A45280Lastly, what life can there be properly but of the soul?
A45280Lo, his Armies are past all number, how much more his several souldiers?
A45280Nay, how oft hath he testified his prohibitions, and detestation of these courses?
A45280Oh for a fountain of tears to bewaile the stain of Gods people in all the coasts of the Earth: How is Christendome become an universall Aceldama?
A45280Or can we imagine that those Angelicall spirits do not take speciall notice of those souls which they have guarded here, and conducted to their glory?
A45280SUch are the respects of good Angels to us; now what is ours to them?
A45280SUch is the place, such is the condition of the blessed; What is their implement?
A45280Shortly, what is the end of our faith but sight?
A45280WHo can know how much he is bound to God for safe- guard, if he doe not apprehend the quality of those enemies, wherewith he is incompassed?
A45280WHo can think other, but that the great God of heaven loseth much glory by our ignorance?
A45280What a difference then there is of times, and means?
A45280What a life doth the presence of the Sun put into all Creatures here below?
A45280What can be wished more, where there is fulness of joy?
A45280What communion were there of Saints, if the departed souls were not ▪ and the soul, when it begins to be perfect, should cease to be?
A45280What woman or childe can not make faces at a fierce Lion, or a bloudy Bajazet lockt up fast in an iron grate?
A45280Who then, O God, who is able to stand before these sons of Anak?

A45280Wo is me, what a dolefull, what a dreadful spectacle is this which is now presented to my soul?
A45280Wo is me, what throngs are carried to hell by these devillish impostures?
A45280alas this soul of mine knows not it self, how shall it know you?
A45280and how can that life be everlasting, which is not continued?
A45280and how could they hold a God, and no Spirit?
A45280and what doth that triumph suppose, but both a beeing, and a beeing glorious?
A45280at last perhaps when the body shall be resumed?
A45280being for dissolution?
A45280but in the exercise of the perpetual acts of their blessedness, vision, adhesion, fruition?
A45280but to think of a whole years broyling in such a fire, how can it but turn our bowels within us?
A45280every of their rods crawleth and hisseth as well as his?

A613969. Who can say I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?
A61396Adore Electing, admire Converting Grace; say, Lord, who am I?
A61396Among the many needless fears of the servants of God, this is one that disquiets the soul, when God stands only looking on; namely, shall I hold out?
A61396An excellent practise: What a comfort would it be for you to read how good your God was to your Father, or Grandfather, that are dead and gone?
A61396And do you live in no known sin with purpose, pleasure and perseverance?
A61396And is not this hatred without a cause?
A61396And is not uprightness a choice Jewel to lay claim to this guidance?
A61396And is this nothing?
A61396And must you be the first instances of his unfaithfulness?
A61396And thus you have the Means, and do you mean to use them?
A61396And what a treasure of comfort is this for you that fear God?
A61396And what is more common in the World, than to brand every one for an hypocrite, that is but serious in his Religion?
A61396And why all this joy?
A61396And why this different dealing?
A61396And yet if any of you had an eye that were alwayes leading you into pits and precipices, to drown and destroy you, would not you have it out?
A61396And yet if one should refer it to thee, Dost thou think in thy very Conscience, that thou art an upright Saint, and a sincere servant of Jesus Christ?
A61396Are not you troubled that you can love him no more?
A61396Are oathes more frequent?
A61396Are the Consolations of God small with you?
A61396Art thou he that gave inward, universal, and constant obedience to my will?
A61396Art thou he that receiv''d my dear Son, and resign''d thy heart so freely to him?
A61396Art thou he that stuck to me in such and such times and tryals?
A61396Art thou he that walked righteously, and spake the truth in thy heart?
A61396But how generally is this plainness banisht out of the world?
A61396But how should I know I love him best?
A61396But let not one Character pass your eye, without a faithful tryal; Is it thus with me?
A61396But now an Upright man, he is alwayes sifting and trying himself; am I sound?

A61396Do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?

A61396For a Name in this World, lose a Soul in another?
A61396For a Shadow of Religion, lose the Substance of Salvation?
A61396For can the holy, wise, and just God appoint any thing unreasonable or uncomfortable for his own creature, his dear child to perform?
A61396For what is the hope of the hypocrite though he hath gain''d( wealth, repute,& c.) when God hath taken away his soul?
A61396For which of you would be cheated, or defrauded by another?

A61396Hath he, if not the most, yet the heartiest of your thoughts?
A61396He is a Sun: Dost thou want Protection?
A61396He will give Grace: Wouldst thou have Glo ● … y?

A61396I love good people, and they love me, and how can I then be an hypocrite?
A61396I trusted Jacobs God in vain?
A61396If he give quietness, who then can make trouble?
A61396If holiness be bad, why do you pretend it?
A61396If it be good, why do you abhor it?
A61396If pride be bad, or covetousness, or passion, why do you not blame them, where- ever you find them?

A50402Again, saith he, O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you that y ● should not obey the truth?
A50402And although this Errour was for the present much restrained, yet how did it break out again afterward among the Galatians?
A50402And how ready are the weaker sort to be scared from the truth, and alienated from those assemblies where it is taught by such shifts as these?
A50402And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?
A50402And how shall they hear without a Preacher?

A50402Hadst thou any sincere love to Christ and his doctrine, how is it that thou hast profited no more?
A50402Hast thou been 20, 30, 40 years his Disciple, his Scholar, and hast thou learned little or nothing all this while?

A50402Is it not common with many to complain of bondage under the Law, who on the other side remain in a miserable bondage under their lusts?
A50402Is it not monstrous for them that should be quickned with one spirit to strive against each other, as if they were acted by contrary spirits?
A50402Is it not much to be lamented, that where there are many people living under the Gospel, the Lord should have so few offerings?
A50402Is it not very likely that contentions and divisions would follow hereupon?

A50402Nevertheless death raigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adams transgression: Who are they?
A50402Now how clearly doth Scripture witness, how sadly doth experience prove, that errours and heresies make woful rents and divisions?
A50402Now what Commandments were these?
A50402Now what a high disho ● our is it to the God of Truth, when lyes are fathered npon him, and attributed to him?

A50402Shall those that are called to the profession of one faith, embrace contrary beliefs?

A50402So that in these words we may note, first a Question or Objection, Do we make void the Law through faith?
A50402So the Apostle implieth, where speaking of those that are in Christ, he faith, It is God that justifieth, who is he that condemneth?
A50402So the Macedonians, Nestorians, Eutichians, Monothelites, and others, how sadly did they tear the Church in pieces?
A50402That some of the godly are drawn into Error?
A50402The Gospel striketh at the right eye, at the heart, and root of the most beloved lusts; How then will self- love rise up against it?

A50402There was a division therefore again among the Iews because of these sayings, and many of them said he hath a Devil, and is mad, Why hear ye him?

A45277The question is here concerning the Purity of Religion, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 of Saints be not 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 Law of God?

A45277What a vast difference is here betwixt Two men, not only of the same Church, I mean of Rome, but also of the same order?
A45277What is the end of the Law but righteousnesse?

A45277You will here by Eclipse his light from your selves, and bring darkeness upon your Souls: For will you look with the Eye of your Faith upon Angels?
A45277according to that of the Apostle, Who is he that condemneth?
A45277and how can it be made ours but by imputation?

A45277and shall any Ministers of thy Gospel dare to curse us, for relying upon the imputation of thy righteousness?
A45277and shall men say, The Devil comes as a Conquerour upon them who have most resisted him?
A45277and they say, Who doth hear?
A45277and what is the immediate effect of it, but the quietation of our Consciences?
A45277and where nothing can be added, nothing can be distinguished( for who can distinguish upon nothing?)
A45277by way of question or of Interrogation; not to one of the Saints, but to which of the Saints?
A45277do not both alike diminish and disparage the efficacy of Christs death?
A45277even perfect righteousnesse?
A45277for how should I then exclude the Divel from having the same power?
A45277how much more should it be in the judgement of Christians?
A45277how then shall he acquit that man for righteous, whom he knows to be a sinner?
A45277if you can, pray shew me what can the Son of God, or the Spirit of God do more?
A45277in denying this honour to the Apostles; and can we be lovers of Christ in giving this honour to the Angels?
A45277in principio: what should I add more witnesses?
A45277may not God as justly swear against us if we do so, as he did against them, That his Name shall be no more named in our mouths?

A45277till you can answer me, where is your Religion?
A45277to be suffered to prolong the pleasures of a sinful life, that we may encrease the torments of an eternal death?
A45277was Paul crucified for you?
A45277was not our sin made thine, that thy righteousness might be made ours?
A45277what do such arrant sots say less?
A45277— But what faith?
A12210A Christian indeed undergoes more trouble and paines( especially with his own heart) than others do, but what is that to his gaines?
A12210A man that sees his conscience awakened without this anointing, what is he?
A12210A seale continues with the thing, but the joy of the Spirit comes after the work of the Spirit, and abides not with us?
A12210Afflictions serve for this very end, to make us more prize God,& deny the creature with all its excellencies: are our crosses great here?
A12210Againe, doth God order all for the best, to them that love him?
A12210Againe, is there any thing more comfortable then that we give content to God?
A12210Againe, is there any thing more worthy our soules, than to be united to God?
A12210Alas say they, I had as good take this pleasure as have none at all: what shall become of me hereafter, who knowes?
A12210Alas what can we have from God, but by the manifestation of hiis own good will?
A12210Am I not under the hand of my God, working my good out of every evill?
A12210And are they certainly true, Yea and Amen in him?
A12210And can wee admire any thing with wisdome but God alone?
A12210And if God be on our side, who can bee against us?
A12210And if God turne all things whatsoever to our good, should not wee through the whole carriage of our lives, chiefly aime at his honour?
A12210And shall others that succeed after say, what ever it was then, now it is thus: and must we beleeve all?
A12210And shall we then in our distresses dist rust God for our souls, when we will trust a weak and mortall man with our bodies?
A12210And that he who knew no sin, should be made sinne for us?
A12210And what is faith, but a building on the promise of God?
A12210And why to them that love God?
A12210And would not Peter have bin glad, that hee had never denied his Master?
A12210Another Evill arising from the guiltinesse of sin, is anguish of mind, and a wounded spirit, which( saith Salomon) who can beare?
A12210Another signe is, To examine what desire wee have to be dissolved, and to be with Christ: Doe wee love his appearing to judgement?
A12210Are all the Promises of what kind soever, whether spirituall and outward, temporall or eternall, are they all made to us in Jesus Christ?
A12210Are there not many ● hat heare the Word, and know Gods mind, who yet profit nothing to amendment of life?
A12210As a branch out of the root; what sap is there is such a thing?
A12210As it was said of Christ when he stilled the Seas, Who is this that the very wind and Seas obey him?
A12210Before wee are anointed with the Spirit of Christ, with stablishing grace, what are we but a company of nasty abominable persons in the eyes of God?
A12210Besides, how can a man suffer willingly, that knowes not that God hath begun any good work in him?
A12210But here the maine question will be, and the difficulty arises, how all ill things can work together for the best to Gods children?
A12210But how doth God establish us by faith?
A12210But how shall I know whether I doe esteeme rightly of God or no?
A12210But how shall we know that we have the Spirit?
A12210But if all things( yea sin it selfe) shall turne to the best to those that love God, what need we then care for the committing of sinne?
A12210But let a man stagger and doubt whether hee belong to God or no, what a miserable case will he be in at the time of dissolution?
A12210But what is a Promise?
A12210But what needs confirmation when we beleeve?
A12210But what of that?
A12210But why doth the Spirit thus establish and seale us, and conveigh grace to our soules?
A12210But why the Spirit rather than the Father or the Sonne?
A12210But you will say, How can that be a seale?
A12210But you will say, doth not God doe many good things to them that are out of Christ?
A12210But you will say, what shall I account of my self, if there bee but a little signe of grace in me?
A12210Can any thing hurt us, when hee is become our loving Father?
A12210Can any thing satisfie us more than God?
A12210Can we have a greater happinesse than to be made one with Christ?
A12210Can we say wee love such a man when we care not for his company?
A12210Can wee spend our labours to better purpose?
A12210Christ seemes to insinuate as much, saying, What can I give you better than the Holy Ghost?
A12210Compare him with a man that hath present things only, with an Esau that abounds with worldly goods, and how great is the difference?
A12210David having beene thorowly humbled for sinne, when Shimei his subject cursed him to his face, how patiently did hee beare the same?
A12210Death( with the eternity of torment after it) who can looke it in the face without the assurance of a happy change?
A12210Didst thou belong to Christ, would ever these crosses,& losses, and miseries have befallen thee?
A12210Do not many spin a fine thred, and weave a faire web, when by their turnings and devices they turne themselves into hell?
A12210Doe wee delight to speak much and often of Christ, and the benefits we receive by him?
A12210Doth God love mee, doth hee doe good to my soule for my owne sake( abstracted from his Sonne?)
A12210Doth not he love us first of all?
A12210Doth not hee know better what is good for us, than we can possibly imagine what is good for our selves?
A12210Doth the truth vary according to mens judgements?
A12210For what are we made for, think you?
A12210For when the conscience of a guilty person is affrighted, what man can allay its feares?
A12210Fourthly, an ointment hath another property, it consecrates persons to holy uses?
A12210God had alwayes sealed ones, marked out for himselfe, whom he preserved from the danger of dark times; why then should wee be afraid of evill tidings?
A12210Hamans honor, what good did it to him, but only brought him to greater shame?
A12210Have wee not much to do and suffer in this life?
A12210He doth indeed, it can not bee denied; but are they blessings?
A12210He promiseth ease and refreshment, but to whom?
A12210How are we in Christ?
A12210How can that rest quiet in any thing, but in what it is assured comes from God?
A12210How can the Conscience be satisfied?
A12210How can the gates of hell prevaile against the faith of a true beleever, when it is carried to the promise, and from the promise to Gods love?
A12210How comfortably will the soule commend it self to Christ, when it finds it selfe stamped with the Spirit of Christ?
A12210How commeth it to passe, that death which is fearefull in it selfe, can not hurt us?
A12210How darest thou think of God who is a Consuming fire?
A12210How doth Heaven differ from Earth?
A12210How doth that appeare?
A12210How is it possible that we should give him the glory of his mercies, if we never observe them?
A12210How is it that all this sorrow and misery hath befallen mee, and lieth so heavie upon my soule?
A12210How is that done?
A12210How lumpish and dead is he under the crosse without this assurance?
A12210How many friends have we in him alone?
A12210How may a man know that hee hath a soule?
A12210How may a man obtaine this blessed guest to lodge in his soule and rule over him?
A12210How ought this to stay the soule under all its heavie pressures?
A12210How shall a man know whether God hath a part in him?
A12210How shall wee know that a man hath establishing grace?
A12210How shall wee know that there is such a spirituall sealing in us?
A12210How should wee be overwhelmed with despaire, did not the Spirit support us?
A12210I shall therefore demonstrate, 1 The truth of this, how it can be so?
A12210If God justifie us, who shall condemne us?
A12210If Luther had had no infirmities, how would men have attributed to him above measure?
A12210If the Promises layd hold on by faith, quicken and cheare the soule, what shall the accomplishment of them doe?
A12210If we have not something above nature, how is it possible wee should hold out in great trials?
A12210In the times of martyrdome, there was fire and faggot, and the frownes of bloudy men; but who were the persons suffering?
A12210Is Gods glory and the Churches welfare deare to us?
A12210Is any service comparable to the service of a Prince?
A12210Is it not a wounded spirit?
A12210Is it not because they rest upon the skill of the Physitian?
A12210Is it not for that they were so formerly stung with the sight and feeling of their sinnes?
A12210Is it not the errand of all Gods mercies to bring us neerer to him selfe?
A12210Is it possible that the love of God and the love of sinne shold ever stand together?
A12210Is not faith confirmation enough?
A12210Is not his love full and overflowing?
A12210Is not right, right?
A12210Is not the Law the Law?
A12210Is not the Word of Christ a word that alters not, but remaines stedfast to all eternity?
A12210Is there any thing that may or ought to challenge our love but Christ?
A12210Know wee not that all things here shall perish?
A12210Love is communicative; and what desire of communion can that soule have, that lives a stranger to his Maker?
A12210May we look for favour from God for any thing in our selves?
A12210Now therefore what kind of Good is this the Apostle meaneth?
A12210Now upon this blessed contract made in Christ to his Church; what followeth?
A12210Now what love can there be in God to us( since the fall,) which must not be grounded on a better foundation than our selves?
A12210Oh saith he, the Holy Ghost hath sealed me up to the day of redemption, shall I grieve and quench the same for this base lust?
A12210On the contrary, if a man have not something above nature in him, when death& judgement comes, how miserable is his condition?
A12210Pharaohs tenne Plagues( which might have humbled his soule) made him but worse and worse: therfore saith God, Why should I smite you any more?
A12210Put the case the stamp of the Prince be an old Coyne, is it not currant though it bee crackt?
A12210Put the case we can not shew the men as they rediculously urge; what is that to the purpose?
A12210Received ye the Spirit, by the hearing of the Law, or of faith preached?
A12210Sathan and all his instruments, what get they by their cruelty to the Saints?
A12210Shall present men interpret it thus, and say, it is so now?
A12210Shall the judgement of any man, be the rule of Gods unerring truth?
A12210So likewise for the Holy Ghost; what heavenly attributes are ascribed to him in the Scriptures?
A12210So that if thou dost outwardly only confesse God, what dost thou more than the Devill?
A12210The reason is this, how can poore dust and ashes dare to challenge any thing of the great Majesty of Heaven, without a warrant from himselfe?
A12210The second use for instruction is this; If such excellent and eminent Saints by sinne have fallen grievously?
A12210Therefore labour for certainty of knowledge, that thou maist have a certainty of faith: What is the reason our faith is weak?
A12210Therefore when wee place our love and joy in the world, do we not lose them too?
A12210This wound in spirit breedeth afterwards a sound spirit; Repentance is good,& Faith in Christ is good; But what doth prepare us to these happy graces?
A12210Those that live in sinnes against conscience, think we that these love God?
A12210Those therefore that goe on from day to day, without private speeches with God, or solacing of their soules in him, what affection have they to him?
A12210To live here only?
A12210Upon what unchangeable grounds is the love of God and the faith of a Christian builded?
A12210Wee shal know it by our choice, and our choice followes our judgement: Would wee know whether our judgement be good?
A12210What Prison can shut up the Spirit of God?
A12210What a King is this, that even the most terrible things are at his command and work for the best unto him?
A12210What a blessed estate is it to be in Christ?
A12210What a comfort is this, that wee may goe to God in Christ, and claime the Promises boldly?
A12210What a comfort is this?
A12210What a miserable perplexity must such a soule needs be in?
A12210What a wondrous comfort is this, that God hath put himselfe over to be ours?
A12210What are all friends in the world to the Holy Ghost?
A12210What are our souls without Gods anointing?
A12210What are the vertues of this oyntment?
A12210What are those graces which wee receive from Christs fulnesse?
A12210What became of Dives his riches?
A12210What comforts so great as those that are fetched from the Fountaine?
A12210What friend will bee content, that a man should only love him because he doth him good?
A12210What greater unkindnesse can a man doe his friend, than to slight his loving direction, and embrace the counsell of a professed ene mie?
A12210What is Hope, but the expectation of those things that the word saith?
A12210What is a man out of Christ?
A12210What is that stamp, that the Spirit seales us withall?
A12210What is the manner of our sealing by the spirit?
A12210What is the reason that Christians are so daunted and flie off in time of danger?
A12210What is the reason that many proud hearted persons are damned?
A12210What makes a man differ from himself and frō other men, but this?
A12210What need we feare any creature, when wee have him on our side, who hath both Men and Devils at his beck?
A12210What shall we doe?
A12210What?
A12210Whatsoever his estate and condition was, God turned it to the best: shall any man dare to mislike of Gods allowlowance?
A12210When David was in his greatest distresses; what desires had he then most in him?
A12210When a man carries about him the marke of the Spirit, what in the world can discourage such a soule?
A12210When we venture upon any thing against conscience, is there not a decay of our love to God?
A12210Whether is the spirit it selfe this seale, or the work of the spirit, and the graces thereof wrought in us?
A12210Whether tend all the troubles we meet with in this world?
A12210Why are the Angels attendants on us?
A12210Why do men in time of dangerous sicknesse take bitter Physick, which is almost death unto them?
A12210Why doe they then undergo such things as they loath at other times?
A12210Why is it called here an annointing?
A12210Why is it thus with thee, why art thou dejected in this manner?
A12210Why should not I be patient in sicknesse, in poverty, in dis graces, or why should I despaire at the houre of death?
A12210Why, saith the Apostle, bee it so?
A12210Will not God really and truly vouchsafe unto his people this earnest of the Spirit in their hearts?
A12210and are wee now fit for his comming?
A12210and prevent us with his favours?
A12210and what is it that makes us constant in duty,& carries us through so many oppositions as we meet withall, is it not love?
A12210and where were the foundation of faith?
A12210and wherefore doth hee still make intercession for us in Heaven?
A12210are these favours to them?
A12210can there be more sweetnesse in the streame, than in the spring?
A12210did not his abuse thereof plunge him deeper into hell?
A12210doth he not cloath, and feed, and protect wicked men daily?
A12210doth not the Sunne shine, and the raine fall, upon the just and the unjust, upon the evill, as well as the good?
A12210his greatnesse made him swell in pride, and his pride had a suddaine fall: What became of Herods high mind in taking to himselfe the glory of God?
A12210how hardly is corrupt selfe brought under?
A12210how then much more are we poore weak soules subject to fall, if wee neglect watchfulnesse over our selves?
A12210must we bring the strait Rule to the crooked Timber for to be measured?
A12210nay, become a curse to free us from the curse?
A12210no certainly; can we desire a more ample testimony of his favour, than he hath already bestowed upon us?
A12210or if thou canst not pray with distinct words, canst thou mourne and groane?
A12210shall wee despaire then?
A12210so vilified, so persecuted?
A12210that we should not doubt of his love, but rest securely upon him: why then doe we distrust the Almighty, who is truth it selfe, and never failed any?
A12210that wee should doubt of Gods love?
A12210they doe but encrease their own torment, and doe them the more good?
A12210was it not this, that they were not fitted and prepared for God?
A12210whatsoever is besides God, is but a creature, and can the creature be other than changeable?
A12210when a man may know by a private reflect act of the soule, that he is in the state of grace?
A12210wherefore did he die and rise againe?
A12210which when foolish people ascribed it to him, was hee not presently smitten, so as the wormes consumed him, and hee dyed a lothsome death?
A12210why doth that doe all?
A12210why, hee longed after the House of God: when the people were ready to stone him, wherein did he trust, but in the Lord his strong ● ower?
A26212Alas poore wretch, what am I?
A26212Alas what is it, that he lost;& what is it that he found?
A26212All things are made by him; whatsoeuer are made; and what kinde of things where they?
A26212And I also said to thee Where art thou, O my God?
A26212And I begun to discusse, what this might be, and I sayd; Whence cometh such a liueing creature, O Lord my God?
A26212And againe, by what signes, or by what addresse shal I seeke thee?
A26212And if thou preuent not the wicked man by showeing mercy?
A26212And what is man that thou shouldest be mindefull of him, or the sonne of man, that thou shouldest visit him?
A26212And whence grew this benefit to me, O thou most benigne Lord, most high God, most mercifull Father, most puissant,& withall for euer meeke Creatour?
A26212And who can open it, if thou shutt it?
A26212And who hath any thinge which is not thyne?
A26212And who shall be able to defend vs from the crushing of his teeth?
A26212And who shall be able to enter into thy Sanctuary, to consider the wonders of thy power, vnles thou open him the gate?
A26212And who shall be able to escape these snares?
A26212And yet dost thou thinke it worthy for thee, to cast thyne eyes vpon him, and to bring him with thee into Iudgement?
A26212And yet, what is any man, that he should presume to speake to his Creator, who is God?
A26212Art not thou that fountayne of life, from which all life doth flowe; for whatsoeuer liueth, liues by thee, and without thee nothing liues?
A26212Art not thou that hidden God of inscrutable Maiesty, the onely perfect knower, and admirable contemplator of thy selfe?
A26212Art not thou, the supreme beeing, from whome all beeing doth proceede?
A26212BEhold, O Lord, because there is noe light, there is death; or rather, I can not say, that death is there; because death indeede is nothing?
A26212Behold how he doth euen pant to see thee, whilest yet thy face is so farr remote?
A26212But how great shall that loue be?
A26212But how shall we be able to comprehend that higth of Angelicall dignity, when we are not able, so much as to finde out, the nature of our owne soule?
A26212But how then didst thou loue vs, O thou holy and good Father?
A26212But now what shall I expect?
A26212But now who shal be able worthily to prayse thee, O thou vnspeakable Wisdome of the Father?
A26212But then how is it euill, if it be nothing?
A26212But thou, O Lord Iesus, and what is become of thyne ancient mercyes?
A26212But thou, O Lord, how long?
A26212But what art thou vnto mee?
A26212But what can we returne to thee, O our God, for the benefitts of thy mercy, which are so greate?
A26212But what doe I say, O my God, O thou my onely hope, and my so abundant mercy?
A26212But what is it to be separated from the word?
A26212But what kinde of light?
A26212But what kinde of man is that beloued of thyne, who is so much beloued, O thou fairest of woemen?
A26212But what kinde of thing didest thou make me?
A26212But where is this Temple soe pure in any man, as that it may be fitt for the reception of thee, who rulest the whole world of men?
A26212But why doest thou hide thy Face from me?
A26212But yet how haue I knowen thee?
A26212But yet if thou be all supremely iust, how commeth it to passe, that thou pardonnest sinners?
A26212But yet still what am I?
A26212But yet, is not Man rotennes, and the Sonne of Man a very Worme?
A26212But yet, who am I, that am speakinge to thee?
A26212Can the Mother forgett the Childe of her wombe?
A26212Can the sharpnes of mans conceite, thinke of any thinge, to which the mercy of God may be cōpared?
A26212Creature with the Creator; he who is made of durte, with him who made all things of nothing?
A26212Doest thou say perhaps, that noe man shall see my Face, and liue?
A26212FOr in fine, when a man is worthy of hate, with what face shall he desire fauour?
A26212For hast thou, ô Lord, in vaine made all the sonnes of men?
A26212For how many haue I laide a snare, who were already in the right way?
A26212For if thou haste called vs to take the benefit of thy pardon when we sought it not, how much more shall we obteyne it, when we seeke it?
A26212For in what hath man sinned, wherin the Sonne of God, being made Man, hath not redeemed him?
A26212For what dost thou, O boby of myne, desire, what dost thou desire, O my soule?
A26212For what doth it profit thee, to haue created me, if I shall descend to hell, through myne owne corruption?
A26212For what haue I to care for in heauen but thee; and what haue I desired on earth but thee?
A26212For whatsoeuer is, is of thee, and nothing is without thee?
A26212For where in fine is the ground of those delights which thou takest in man?
A26212For who can be cleansed, by one who is himselfe vncleane?
A26212For who knoweth thee, but thou thy selfe?
A26212For who shall be able to auoyd such a multitude of snares, vnles he see them; and who shall be able to see them, vnles he be illuminated by thy light?
A26212For who, O Lord am I, that, of my selfe, I should be able to prayse thee?
A26212For why should I consume my selfe with holding my peace?
A26212From whence came this fauour to me, O Lord, thou soueraigne truth, and thou true souueraignity,& thou who art the beginning of all thy creatures?
A26212How by euer beholdinge the immutable Trinity, themselues are changed into immutability?
A26212How great is the multitude of that sweetnes of thine, wherewith thou dost admirably inspire the harts of thy louers?
A26212How haue I knowen thee?
A26212How long wilt thou turne thy face from vs?
A26212How lowe, ô Sonne of God, how lowe did thy humility descend?
A26212How many ignorant persons haue I taught the way how to sinn?
A26212How often had that Dragon euen swallowed mee vp, and thou O Lord diddest drawe mee out of his mouth?
A26212How often haue I sinned, when he was ready to haue deuoured mee, but thou O Lord my God diddest defend mee?
A26212How often, like a dogg, haue I returned to my vomitt, and like a sowe, haue I weltered againe, in the mire?
A26212How ought such a soule lament, and weepe, who seeketh God, day and night, and is resolued to loue nothinge but Christ our Lord?
A26212How ought such a soule to lament and weepe, which loues thee with her whole hart, and couetts to see thee with her whole desire?
A26212How then O Lord, shall I be able to praise thee?
A26212How they growe to be happy, by adhearing, to that supreame beatitude?
A26212How they growe to be made light, by their coniunction with that true light?
A26212I beseech thee, that I may finde thee, that I may faynt in my selfe, and be refreshed in thee?
A26212I called not vpon him, and he cryed out vpon mee?
A26212I giue thee thankes, O my light, for behold I see; though as yet it be but by a representation, as in a glasse: But when will it be face to face?
A26212I sought not him, but he sought me?
A26212If the solace be so greate, which thou giuest vs in this day of our tears, what wilt thou giue, in that day of our espousalls?
A26212If this health be delightfull, which is made; how delightfull must that needs be, which made all this health?
A26212If this place of exile, and restraint afford such pleasures, what I beseeche thee will our Country doe?
A26212If thou doe vs soe much honour in this prison, what wilt thou doe in thy pallace?
A26212If thou haue a mynde to anihilate all that which thou hast created, who shall presume to contradict thee?
A26212Is his beeing, and liueing, deriued from any roore but thee?
A26212Is it because thy goodnes doth exceed our vnderstanding?
A26212Is it not thee, O Lord my God?
A26212Is it not thou who art onely cleane?
A26212Is not euery Man liueing, a kinde of vniuersality of vanity?
A26212Is not he, ô my Lord, that innocent person, who beinge thine onely Sōne, was deliuered by thee, to the end that he might redeeme thy slaue?
A26212May he glory in that which is good?
A26212My faith which thou hast kindled, in this night of myne, before my feete, doth say, Why art thou sad, O my soule, and why doste thou afflict me?
A26212My hope is not reposed in the sonnes of men, for if thou iudge them( when thy mercy is laide a side) whome wilt thou be able to finde iust?
A26212My soule hath thirsted after thee O God, who art the liueing fountayne; when shall I come and appeare before thy face?
A26212Not some dropp of water: not some sparke of fyre?
A26212Now if that life which is created be good, how good is that other life, which created this?
A26212O God Is man perhaps of skill enough to make himself?
A26212O Holy fyre, how sweetely doest thou heate, how secretly doest thou shine, and how delightfully dost thou burne?
A26212O Lord, my God, how admirable and prayseworthy is thy Name, throughout the word?
A26212O happy society of those heauenly Cittizens?
A26212O how admirable, how pretious, and how beautifull, be the habitations of thy house O thou God of all strength?
A26212O how gracefull, how glorious, and how noble art thou?
A26212O how happie shall he be, that shall arriue to,& ēioy this good; Yea how happy shall he not be?
A26212O how very fayne, would I been flamed by thee?
A26212O my King, and my God, shall I render for all those things, which thou hast bestowed on me?
A26212O that I had beene the man, who tooke downe my Lord from the Crosse, with that happy Ioseph?
A26212O thou my Lord, how long wilt thou forget vs?
A26212Of what therfore shall any flesh be able to vant?
A26212Or how diddest thou prepare in mee, a sanctuary worthy of thy Maiestie, into which when thou enterest, thou mayest take delight and gust?
A26212Or who is that Sonne, whome the Father will not correct with the staffe of pitty?
A26212Shall darkenes be able to praise light or death, life?
A26212Shall he be able to prayse thee, O Lord, who is conceyued, and borne, and bredd vp in sinne?
A26212Shall man who is rottennes it selfe, be able to prayse thee?
A26212Shall my misery be able to prayse thee?
A26212Shall stinkes be able to prayse pretious odours?
A26212Shall the mortality of a man, who is here to day, and will be gone to morrowe, be able to prayse thee?
A26212Shall vanity be able to prayse truth?
A26212That I had Lodged him in the sepulchre?
A26212That I had embalmed him with odours?
A26212Thee who art the sole refuge, and the onely hope of miserable creatures, to whome one can neuer pray without hope of mercy?
A26212Then I returned to my selfe, and I entered into my selfe, and sayd, who art thou?
A26212Therefore thou, ô Lord, diddest make all things, and now do I aske, who made mee?
A26212To whome did I aspire, and yet now, what kinde of things be they, for which I pant, and sighe?
A26212To whome punishment is due, what rash boldnes is it for him, to expect glory?
A26212VVhat merits were there of myne?
A26212VVhen wilt thou illuminate these eyes of ours, and shew vs that face of thyne?
A26212VVhence came I to be soe happy, as that thou shouldest carry loue to me?
A26212VVho art thou?
A26212VVho hath therefore knowen, that which he neuer sawe?
A26212VVoe be vnto mee, and how long shall it be sayd to mee, where is thy God?
A26212Vvhat man shall be able to announce thy prayse?
A26212Vvhat shall I doe, miserable creature that I am; beinge bound vp, hand and foote, by these chaynes of my mortality, What shall I doe?
A26212Vvhat shall I say, what shall I doe, whither shall I goe, where shall I seeke him,& when shall I finde him?
A26212Vvhat tears shall I beleeue did bedewe?
A26212Vvhen shall I passe on into that admirable, and most goodly house of thine?
A26212Vvhen wilt thou lead me out of this darke prison, that I may confesse to thy Name; that so, from thence forth,, I may haue noe more cause of greife?
A26212Vvho am I, that I should prayse thee, O thou most Mighty Lord, and thou God of the spirits of all flesh; who inhabitest Eternity?
A26212Vvho is therefore he, that shall prayse thee?
A26212Vvho will declare to my beloued that I languish for loue?
A26212Vvho will helpe me to the winges of a doue, that I may fly and rest?
A26212Vvhome shall I aske?
A26212Vvhy, at least, art not thou inebriated with the bitternes of tears, since he drunck the bitternes of gall?
A26212Vvoe is me, wretched creature, what shal I say?
A26212WHAT hast thou committed, ô thou most sweete childe, that thou shouldest so be iudged?
A26212WHY dost thou therfore wander, O thou man, in the search of any good, concerning either thy body or thy soule?
A26212WHat is that knowledg of truth?
A26212WHo, O Lord, is like thee among the Gods?
A26212We shall see thee as thou art, when this blind and mortall life is spent, wherein it is said to vs, where is now thy God?
A26212What delight, without any defect?
A26212What doe I say when I vtter such things as these?
A26212What doe I say, O thou my happy, and secure sweetnes?
A26212What fauour was dew to me, that thou shouldest create me capable of being thy sonne, which yet thou wouldst deny to all them?
A26212What glory, what endles festiuity they enioy, by the vision of God?
A26212What is it which deteyneth mee?
A26212What is this, which I feele: what fyre is this which heates any harte; what fyre is this whereby my harte is stroken through with beames?
A26212What meanes was there to make me soe acceptable, that it should be pleasing in the sight of thy mighty Maiesty, to create me?
A26212What merits were there of myne?
A26212What praises, and what thanks can we giue?
A26212What pride was able to swell so highe, as that so great humility would not be able to beate it downe?
A26212What songs, what Organs, what Hymnes, what melodies are sung there without any end?
A26212When O Lord shall I approache, and appeare before that face of thyne?
A26212When shall I come and appeare before the Face of our Lord?
A26212When shall I come, and appeare before thee, O thou my ioy?
A26212When shall I come, and once appeare before thy face?
A26212When shall I see my God, after whome my soule is in a deadly thirst?
A26212When wilt thou come, O my comforter, whome I will expect?
A26212When wilt thou comfort me, and when wilt thou giue me cause to conteyne this sorrow of mine?
A26212When wilt thou regard, and heare vs?
A26212When wilt thou restore thy selfe to vs, and heare vs?
A26212Whence came this to vs, and who brought vs to this?
A26212Whē shall I be satisfyed with that beauty of thine?
A26212Whither was I goeinge, and yet where am I arriued?
A26212Who can distrust of thy mercy, O deer Iesus, since thou didest redeeme vs, and reconcile vs to God, by thy Blood, when we were thine enemies?
A26212Who can make a man cleane, he being conceiued of vncleane seede?
A26212Who is like thee, O thou who art magnificent in thy sanctity, who art terrible& laudable, and doeing wonderfull things?
A26212Who knowe the knower of all things What can they choose but knowe?
A26212Who now wil be able to hate a man, whose nature and resemblance he seeth in the humanity of God?
A26212Who shall reueale the makeing of his garment to vs, and who shall make vs knowe the walke of his teeth?
A26212Who then is he that hath a hart so hard, as that it can not be softned by this loue of God?
A26212Why am not I as all they are; and why are not all they as I am?
A26212Why are they good, in regard that all things are made by the Vvord,& without it nothing is made?
A26212Why art thou not in compassion of that most holy Virgin, his most worthy Mother, my most worthy Lady?
A26212Why art thou troubled about the price?
A26212Why doest thou turne thy face from me, O thou my ioy, wherein I reioyce?
A26212Wilt thou, O Eternell King of Israell, damne a dead dogg?
A26212Wilt thou, O God of inestimable fortitude, shew forth thy power, against a leafe which is whipped away by the winde?
A26212Woe be to me, wretched man, how came it to passe, that I knewe not that by forsakeing thee, I grewe to be nothing?
A26212Woe is me, from how great happinesse, into how great misery am I fallen?
A26212and the sonne of man, who is noe better, then a base worme?
A26212and where did thy compassiō arriue?
A26212and yet againe, alas, what am I to be?
A26212but why doe I aske, how I could be ignorant thereof, if I were nothing?
A26212how farr did thy piety proceed?
A26212how high did thy charity burne vp?
A26212how many haue I persuaded, who had no minde to it?
A26212howe wide did thy benignity extend?
A26212or why at least am not I alone like them?
A26212this loue I say of his so preuenting,& so vehement which made him be content to become man for the loue of man?
A26212what ardour of loue, not tormenting, but delighting?
A26212what hast thou committed, ô most amiable yonge man, that thou shouldest be treated so?
A26212what is the cause of thy death?
A26212what is the occasion of thy condemnation?
A26212what is thy cryme?
A26212what is thy wickednes?
A26212what kind of thing is this, which knoweth so many other things, and yet is so wholyignorāt of how it selfe comes to be made?
A26212what kinde of thing is that, which is able to giue life to flesh, and yet is not able so much as to conteyne it selfe in good thoughts?
A26212what shall I doe then, O Lord my God, when the heauens will reueale my iniquityes, and when the earth will rise vp against me?
A26212when wilt thou giue me a sight of thee?
A26212whence came this blessing to me, that I had a capacitie to become the sonne of God, which they had not?
A26212where am I, or rather where am I not?
A26212where art thou hidden o beautie, which I desire?
A26212where in nether desire, procures any payne, nor saciety breeds any loathinge?
A26212where the voice of ioy and exultation, is euer ringing out, in those Tabernacles of the Iust?
A26212whither did thy loue aspire?
A26212who can say, what desire there is, of the vision of God, when they haue saciety, and how they can haue saciety with desire?
A26212who euer heard of such things as these?
A26212who is he, that vpon the disclosinge of these bowels of mercy, will not be amazed?
A26212who will not wonder?
A3014114. Who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings, and with devouring fire?
A301413. and again, Israel that followeth after the Law of righteousness, hath not attained to the Law of righteousness: wherefore?
A301415 Have they righteousness?
A30141Again, For you are not under the Law; what is meant by this word[ LAW?]
A30141Again, are the people of God to behave themselves to the glory of God the Father?
A30141Again, when Esau threatned to slay his Brother, Rebecca sent him away saying, Why should I be deprived of you both in one day?
A30141Alas, alis, how will such professors as these are, fall before the Judgment- seat of Christ?
A30141And canst thou find in thy heart to labour to lay more sins upon his back?
A30141And doth it not also make thee the more earnestly to groan after the Lord Jesus?
A30141And how if I should not?
A30141And how sayest thou?
A30141And shall I count any thing too dear for him?
A30141And such a ready heart in him to give it to me?
A30141And what was that?
A30141And when it is committed?
A30141And when thou wast thinking to do such a thing, at such a time, did not I say, forbear, do not so?
A30141And why dost thou pass such a sad sentence of condemnation upon us?
A30141Are they enemies to thee, saith God, I will be even with them?
A30141Art thou Unrighteous in thy self, Christ is made of God thy Righteousness?
A30141As to save me sinful, me rebellious, me desperate, me, what then?
A30141But God who is rich in grace, with his great love, wherewith he loved us( when?
A30141But God who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us — that he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace: But which way?
A30141But Secondly, To the second thing, which is this, How far may such a one go?
A30141But Thirdly, The third thing touched in the question, was this; What may such a one receive of God, who is under the Curse of the Law?
A30141But alas I have nothing to carry with me, how then should I go?
A30141But alas, I am blind and can not see, what shall I do now?
A30141But alas, though I should never sin that Sin, yet I have other sins enough to Damn me?
A30141But could not we have been saved if Christ had not died?
A30141But did he indeed suffer the torments of hell?
A30141But hath not the Law promises as well as threatnings?
A30141But how doth God kill with this Law or Covenant?
A30141But how should I do?
A30141But how should I know whether Christ do so knock at my heart, as to be desirous to come in?
A30141But how?
A30141But is not this the way to make Christ to loath us?
A30141But secondly, consider, thou sayest all my strength is gone, and therefore how should I wait?
A30141But though I do wait, yet if I be not elected to eternal Life, what good will all my waiting do me?
A30141But what do you mean John?
A30141But what do you mean by these words, the Gld Covenant, as the Old Covenant?
A30141But what ground hast thou for this thy hope?
A30141But what ground hast thou to think that thou art under that blessed Covenant?
A30141But what promises in the Scripture do you find your hope built upon?
A30141But why did Christ offer himself in sacrifice?
A30141But why did God let him dye?
A30141But why did he spill his precious blood?
A30141But why did he suffer the pains of Hell?
A30141But why then is his death so slighted by some?
A30141But you will say, then, why did God give the Law, if we can not have salvation by following of it?
A30141But you will say: But who are those that are thus under the Law?
A30141But( you will say its like) how should this be made manifest, and appear?
A30141But, I am afraid the day of Grace is past, and if it should be so, what should I do then?
A30141But, saith the Soul, how if after I have received a Pardon I should commit Treason again?
A30141Can it be a Mercy for me to be troubled with my Corruptions?
A30141Can it be a Priviledge for me to be annoyed with Infirmities, and to have my best Duties infected with it?
A30141Can not he transform himself thus into an Angel of light?
A30141Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the Leopard his spots?
A30141Can''st thou read this and not feel this and not feel thy Conscience begin to throb and dagg?
A30141Canst thou hear of Christ, his bloody Sweat and Death, and not be taken with it, and not be grieved for it, and also converted by it?
A30141Canst thou hear that he suffered the pains, the fiery flames of Hell?
A30141Canst thou hear that the lead of thy sins did break the very heart of Christ, and spill his precious Blood?
A30141Canst thou hear this, and not have thy ears to tingle and burn on thy head?
A30141Canst thou now that readest or hearest these Lines, turn thy Back, and go on in thy Sins?
A30141Canst thou set so light of Heaven, of God, of Christ, and the Salvation of thy poor, yet precious Soul?
A30141Could he not have suffered without his so suffering?
A30141Didst thou ever burn any of thy Children in the Fire to Idols?
A30141Didst thou ever curse and swear, and deny Christ?
A30141Didst thou ever kill any Body?
A30141Didst thou ever use Enchantments and Conjuration?
A30141Do they slight thy groans, thy tears, thy blood thy death, thy resurrection and intercession, thy second coming again in heavenly glory?
A30141Do they slight thy merits?
A30141Do we through Faith, or preaching of the Gospel, make void the Law?
A30141Do you know what that wilful Sin is?
A30141Do you think that Ephraim would have looked after salvation, had not God first confounded him with the guilt of the sins of his youth?
A30141Doest thou find that there is but very little sanctifying Grace in thy Soul?
A30141Dost thou delight in them?
A30141Dost thou know what the unpardonable Sin( the Sin against the Holy Ghost) is?
A30141Dost thou see and find in thee Iniquity and Unrighteousness?
A30141Dost thou see in thee all manner of Wickedness?
A30141Dost thou see that thou art very much void of right Sanctification?
A30141Dost thou want Faith, then come for it to the Man Christ Jesus?
A30141Dost thou want Grace of any ● ort?
A30141Dost thou want Wisdom?
A30141Dost thou want a new Heart?
A30141Dost thou want strength against thy Lusts, against the Devils Temptations?
A30141Dost thou want strength to carry thee thorow afflictions of Body, and afflictions o ● Spirit, through Persecutions?
A30141Dost thou want the Spirit, then ask it of Jesus?
A30141Doth the Law command thee to do good, and nothing but good?
A30141Fifthly, dost thou at some time see some little Excellency in Christ?
A30141First, Consider, was it man that had offended?
A30141First, doth the Lord knock still at the door of thy Heart by his Word and Spirit?
A30141First, doth the Lord make thee sensible of thy miserable state, without an interest in Jesus Christ?
A30141First, is thy Heart hard?
A30141For Herod feared John( why?
A30141For know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God?
A30141For the first, What this Covenant of Works is, and when it was given?
A30141Friend, if thou canst fit thy self, what need hast thou of Christ?
A30141God will smite thee, and punish thee for it, if thou doest do it?
A30141Hast thou been a Witch?
A30141Hast thou no Sins?
A30141Hath he overcome the Law, the Devil, and Hell?
A30141Hath his bleeding Wounds so much in them, as that the Fruits thereof should be the Salvation of my Soul?
A30141Have they faith?
A30141Have they hope?
A30141Have they pardon of sin?
A30141Have they strength to do the work of God in their generations?
A30141Have we comfort, or consolation?
A30141Have we the spirit, or the fruits thereof?
A30141Here is an argument of the Spirits own making, who can contradict it?
A30141How came they by their Faith?
A30141How can it possibly be?
A30141How can those that are accustomed to do evil, do that which is commanded in this particular?
A30141How canst thou deal so unkindly with such a sweet Lord Jesus?
A30141How did I deceive my self with giving of a little alms?
A30141How hast thou beguiled my poor soul?
A30141How hath my good words, good thinkings, good meanings( as the world calls them) deceived my ignorant soul?
A30141How if he had came, having taken a command from his Father to damn you, and to send you to the Devils in Hell?
A30141How many Oaths would it make you bite asunder?
A30141How much more shall your heavenly Father give the holy Spirit to them that ask him?
A30141I but when?
A30141I doubt I do not come as I should do; my Heart is naught and dead; and alas, then how should I come?
A30141If he is, then how doth it appear?
A30141If one should ask thee what ground thou hast to think thou shalt be saved; wouldst thou not say?
A30141If the first come in and say, why am I judged?
A30141If they fall away to renew them again unto Repentance: And why so?
A30141If thou wast whole, thou hadst no need of the Physician; doest thou therefore see thy self in such a sad Condition as this?
A30141In a word, are they converted?
A30141Indeed I thought my self a wise man once, but I see my self a very fool now: O how ignorant am I of the Gospel now?
A30141Is he satisfied now in the behalf of sinners by this mans thus suffering?
A30141Is it not for a man to sin willingly after enlightning?
A30141Is not this grace?
A30141Is not this true as I have said?
A30141Is there so much store in Christ?
A30141Is thy Heart slothful and idle?
A30141Lastly, Is there such Mercy as this?
A30141Lord, shall I honour thee most by believing thou canst pardon my Sins, or by believing thou canst not?
A30141My hope is grounded upon the promises, what else should it be grounded upon?
A30141Nay further, Have not we taught in thy Name?
A30141Nay, God favoured his Son no more, finding our sins upon him, then he would have favoured any of us: For, should we have died?
A30141Now it crieth out, How many promises have I broken?
A30141O grave, where is thy victory?
A30141O how should a poor Soul do this?
A30141O how would it make you strive to stop at that 〈 ◊ 〉 that now you drink down with delight?
A30141O then we should have you cry out, I must have Christ, what shall I do for Christ?
A30141Of my sinful Soul?
A30141Q ● ● st Do you think that I do mean that my righteousness will save me, without Christs?
A30141Saith the soul, Can not the Devil give one such comfort tro?
A30141Shall Christ come down from Heaven to Earth to declare this to sinners?
A30141Shall Christ covenant with God for the salvation of sinners?
A30141Shall Christ think nothing too dear for me?
A30141Shall I grieve him with my foolish Carriage?
A30141Shall I have my Sins, and lose my Soul?
A30141Shall I honour thee most by believing thou wilt pardon my Sins, or by believing thou wilt not?
A30141Shall I not now yield my Members as Instruments of Righteousness, seeing my end is everlasting Life?
A30141Shall I now be ashamed of the Cause, Wayes, People, or Saints of Jesus Christ?
A30141Shall I now love ever a Lust or Sin?
A30141Shall I slight his Counsel by following of my own Will?
A30141Shall I tell thee?
A30141Shall not I now be holy?
A30141Shall not I now study, strive, and lay out my self for him that hath laid out himself Soul and Body for me?
A30141Should we have been made a curse?
A30141Should we have undergone the pains or hell?
A30141Sinner, canst thou read that Jesus Christ was made an offering for sin, and yet go on in sin?
A30141So it is here, there is a promise made indeed, but to whom?
A30141So that, is is there righteousness in Christ?
A30141That I may know also whether the day of Grace be past with me or no?
A30141The principle( you will say) what do you mean by that?
A30141The second thing is, How are these brought into this everlasting Covenant of Grace?
A30141Then all those Virgins arose( the wise and the foolish) then, when?
A30141Thirdly, doth he sometimes give thee some secret persuasions( though not scarcely discernable) that thou mayest attain, and get an interest in him?
A30141This is much; but is God contented with this?
A30141Thus also thou may''st say, when Death assaulteth thee, O Death, where is thy sting?
A30141Turn to the strong hold, saith God, ye prisoners of hope, even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee: Why so?
A30141Was he not fain to kill them to every thing below a Christ, that they were driven to their wits ends?
A30141Was not this the way that the Lord was fain to take to make them close in with Jesus Christ?
A30141What doest thou think that God, Christ, Prophets, and Scriptures, will all lie for thee?
A30141What hope therefore can I have?
A30141What say you, O you wounded sinners?
A30141What should I do then?
A30141What then?
A30141What, and come to Christ as a sinner?
A30141What, shall Christ become a drudge for you?
A30141When Justice it self is pleased with a man, and speaks on his side, instead of speaking against him, we may well cry out, Who shall condemn?
A30141Wherefore( saith he) as by one man sin entered into the World, and death by sin: and so death passed upon all men; mark that, but why?
A30141Which of these two Covenants art thou under, soul?
A30141Who compelled thee to swear?
A30141Who then can condemn?
A30141Who would not be in this Condition?
A30141Who would not be in this Glory?
A30141Who( now seeing all this is so effectually done) shall lay any thing, the least thing?
A30141Why Soul?
A30141Why so I pray you?
A30141Why, But Israel which followed after the Law of righteousness, have not attained to the Law of righteousness; how came that to pass?
A30141Why, What is it?
A30141Why, by the operation of the miracles that be did among them; for said they, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than this man hath done?
A30141Why, would you have us do nothing?
A30141Will they do me any good when Christ comes?
A30141Will you not hear the errand of Christ, although he telleth you tidings of peace and salvation?
A30141Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, to receive power and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing, And why so?
A30141Would not Heaven be better to me then my Sins?
A30141and canst thou find in thy heart, to add to his groans, by slighting of his sufferings?
A30141and doth all this stir up in thy Heart some breathings after him?
A30141and falsifie their words for thee?
A30141and hast not thou taught in our streets?
A30141and how many times have I resolved in vain?
A30141and not rather under the Covenant of Works, that strict, that soul- damning Covenant?
A30141and of the blessed experience of the Work of God on a Christians heart?
A30141and shall sinners covenant with Hell, Death, and the Devil, for the damnation of their souls?
A30141and shall sinners stop their ears against this good tidings?
A30141and so much cause to be Glad?
A30141and that naturally thou hast no share in him, no faith in him, no communion with him, no delight in him, or love in the least to him?
A30141and that with all thy soul, heart, and delight,( which the Law as a Covenant of Works called for) and can''st thou being Carnal do that?
A30141and what course should I take to be delivered from this sad and troublesome Condition?
A30141and will you be drudges for the Devil?
A30141are they such things as thou takest Pleasure in?
A30141but how shall I come by them?
A30141but how should I come?
A30141do you mean the Covenant of the Law, or the Covenant of the Gospel?
A30141doth not thy finding of this in thee, cause thee to flie from a depending on thy own doings?
A30141for Christ will not say unto men in that day, Come, which of you made a profession of me, and walked in Church- fellowship with my Saints?
A30141free grace, Lord, who desired thee to promise?
A30141had I ever in all my life time one sinful thought passed thorough my heart since I was born, yea or no?
A30141have I the right work of God on my soul?
A30141how beggarly and miserable are the sons of Adam?
A30141how hast thou deceived me?
A30141how miserably hath the Devil deceived some?
A30141how shall I come at Christ?
A30141how will God advance his Holiness?
A30141how will God advance his Justice?
A30141how will they be deceived?
A30141insomuch that they were forced to cry out, Whbat shall we do to be saved?
A30141is all right with my soul?
A30141is there so much ground of Comfort?
A30141saith the soul if a few sins are so terrible, and lay the soul under such wrath and torment, what did Christ undergo?
A30141such Priviledges as these?
A30141that is mine: Is there perfection in that righteousness?
A30141that is mine: did he bleed for sin?
A30141then such a question as this, Friend, how camest thou in hither, not having on thy wedding garment?
A30141to what may such a one attain?
A30141where will they leave their glory?
A30141whither may he arrive?
A30141whither will they fliethen?
A30141who would slight Convictions that are on their Souls, which tend so much for their good?
A30141why am I damned?
A30141with abstaining from some gross polutions?
A30141with walking in some ordinances, as to the outside of them?
A30141would not his dying only of a natural death have served the turn?
A30141would you have us make Christ such a drudge as to do all, while we sit idling still?
A30141would you not say, I did not think of Covenants or study the nature of them?
A65309''T is more bitter to sin against Christ, than to suffer the torments of Hell, saith Chrysostom: Is not sin then to be feared?
A65309* Quid iste faceret in igne, qui Christum rubuit in nube?
A65309* Quid timet homo, in sinu Dei positus?
A65309* Quid ultra quaerit cui omnia suus conditor sit?
A65309Am I sinning, and to morrow may be dying?
A65309An Heathen exercising much cruelty to a Christian, asked him in scorn, What Great Miracle his Master Christ ever did?
A65309And besides this, he hath his Book of Remembrance, where he sets them down; are they not in thy Book?
A65309And shall not we Fear this God?
A65309And who shall be enriched with Salvation, but the Fearers of God?
A65309Are not they Fools who gratifie their Enemy?
A65309Are riches desirable?
A65309Are there not many prayerless Families in this City and Nation?
A65309Are they not all ministring Spirits sent forth to Minister for them who shall be heirs of Salvation?
A65309Are you Citizens of Heaven, and not speak of your Charter?
A65309Are you Gods Jewels?
A65309Are you Gods Jewels?
A65309Be not laughed out of your Religion: If a Lame man laugh at you for going upright, will you therefore halt?
A65309Believers are Gods Temples, and where should his Praises be sounded forth but in his Temples?
A65309Believers are not only of Gods family, but of Christs body; and will the head let the body starve?
A65309But Gods Salvation is nigh them that Fear him: What do we aspire after but Salvation?
A65309But are not we bid to serve God without Fear?
A65309But because it was consecrated by Prayer?
A65309But did not Christ often converse with Sinners?
A65309But have you filial fear?
A65309But how doth God deal well with the Saints, when he laies his hand so heavy upon them in Affliction?
A65309But is this such a priviledge, to have Gods Eye upon his Children?
A65309But my deserts are nothing?
A65309But some may say they are barren of matter, and know not what to speak of?
A65309But what should be the matter of our holy Musings?
A65309But who is Gods mercy for?
A65309Can a Maid forget her Ornaments?
A65309Can a Woman forget her sucking child?
A65309Can a man be Religious and scarce ever think of it?
A65309Can thy heart endure, or can thy hands be strong in the day that I shall deal with thee?
A65309Can we say we take our Souls è Corporis Pharetra out of the quiver of our Bodies, and shoot them into Heaven?
A65309Christians, what do your Thoughts run upon?
A65309Conscience doth lash the profane Sinner; what art thou so Wicked as never to Think of God, who indulgeth thee with so many favours?
A65309Dare any of you having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust?
A65309Did men Ruminate upon Gods Holiness and Justice, durst they sin at that rate as they do?
A65309Did not Satan instigate him to this?
A65309Did not our Hearts burn within us?
A65309Diogenes came into a full Market with a Candle and Lanthorn; they asked him what he sought?
A65309Do not we see men heap up Riches, and on a sudden, death as Gods Serjeant Arrests them?
A65309Do the Waters of Affliction come up to our Ankles?
A65309Doth God hearken to us, and shall not we hearken to him?

A65309Doth God take away a Child?
A65309Doth not God deal well with his Children in keeping them from sinning in Affliction?
A65309Doth not a Judge deal well with a Prisoner, when he laies some light penalty on him and saves his Life?
A65309Doth not he see my wayes, and count all my Steps?
A65309Fear ye not me, saith the Lord, will ye not tremble at my presence?
A65309Friends, what should we mind but Salvation?
A65309God can look us into our Grave, and with a breath blow us into Hell, and shall we not fear him?
A65309God can with a word raise all the Militia of Heaven and Earth against us: and shall we dare affront him?
A65309God hath but little praise in the world: Who should pay him this Quit- rent if not they that fear him?
A65309God may this night seal a Lease of Ejectment, and say, Give an account of your stewardship; and what if death should come before we are ready?
A65309God thinks of us, and shall not we think of him?
A65309Gods making of Jewels, is, when he works Grace, but what is Gods making up of Jewels?
A65309Gods people should be known by the sparkling of their Graces: shall there be no difference in behaviour between the Wicked and the Godly?

A65309He Spares us, and shall not we be Sparing to others?
A65309He gives the Star its beauty, the Flower its fragrancy, Food its suavity; and if there be such deliciousness in the Creature, what is in God?

A65309Is it not well with that man who hath all things go on his side, and hath nothing wanting that may do him Good?
A65309Is not he a Fool, who having but one Jewel will venture the loss of it?
A65309Is not he a Fool, who refuseth a rich offer?
A65309Is not my way equal?
A65309Is this an excuse or an aggravation of the sin?
A65309Is thy Servant a Dog?
A65309Israel would none of me: Is not this a Prodigy of madness?
A65309It is Comfort in respect of Poverty?
A65309Iulian hardened his Heart against God, but what got he at last?
A65309May not we fear some portentous calamity should bring up the rear of former Judgments?
A65309May not we fear the Glory is departing?
A65309Monica Austins Mother, hearing others discourse of Heaven, was greatly affected and cryed out, What do I do here?
A65309No, have you walked so often through the field of Scripture, yet gathered no ears of Corn?
A65309O my Soul how is it with thee?
A65309O my Soul, shall I admire the Drop and not the Ocean?
A65309Oecolampadius an holy man being on his sick- bed, was asked if the Light offended him?
A65309Ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God?
A65309Perhaps you pray that you may Believe in Christ, but do you pray that you may Confess him, and not be ashamed to speak of him before others?
A65309Put thou my Tears into thy bottle, are they not in thy Book?
A65309Satan comes thus to a man: Thy sins have bin great, and thy Sorrow should be proportionable; But is it so?
A65309Shall I think of the Workmanship, and not of him that made it?
A65309Shall any that God makes his own by Federal union, Fall finally?
A65309Shall not God avenge his own elect?
A65309Should not this make us walk with fear and circumspection?
A65309Sin is not worth keeping: who would keep a Plague- sore?
A65309So the Heart Hides sin: and how doth it hide it?
A65309Some fear shame, others fear danger, but where is he who fears a Deity?
A65309Speak about Death and Eternity: can you belong to Heaven and not speak of your Country?
A65309That a Wicked man dying is so surprized with terrors, whence is this but from a secret apprehension of Judgment ensuing?
A65309The Fear of man bringeth a Snare; what made Peter deny Christ, and Origen sprinkle incense before the Idol, but fear?
A65309The Papists speak of Merits, but how can we merit when our best services are so defective that we need sparing?
A65309The Wicked do as Caligula, who challenged Iupiter to a duel: but who ever hardened himself against God and prospered?
A65309The more Spiritual we are in our speeches, the more we resemble Christ: should not the Members be like the Head?
A65309Theodosius counted them Traitors who abused his Statue: what will become of them who persecute Gods Saints, and tread upon his Jewels?
A65309There is no fear of God before their eyes: Abraham surmized the men of Gerar would stick at no Sin; why so?
A65309They are related to Christ; he hath bought these Jewels with his blood, and will he lose his purchase?
A65309They threaten our Life, God threatens our Soul, and shall we not tremble before him*?
A65309This is one of the richest Comforts in the Book of God: Who is he that lives and sins not?
A65309Though the Times are sad, they have no fear in regard of the publique: Doth not God call us to trembling?
A65309Thus the Heart is a flattering Glass, to make one look fairer than he is: and is there not cause to suspect this Impostor?
A65309Was not Christ with the Three Children?
A65309Was not Jacob Esaus brother?
A65309We are apt to fear men who have power in their hand to hurt us; what is their power to Gods?
A65309We live in a Godless age; durst men Sin at that rate as they do, if the fear of God were regent in their hearts?
A65309Were not ye afraid to speak against my Servant Moses?
A65309What Fear is meant here?
A65309What King will be in league with him that holds correspondence with his Enemy?
A65309What Monuments of Gods Vengeance were Nero, Dioclesian, Gardner, and the rest of that persecuting tribe?
A65309What are these Hosts or Armies of which God is the Soveraign Lord?
A65309What dammage can it be to a man to lose his Farthings, and have Gold given him?
A65309What engines or buckets can quench the infernal fire?
A65309What greater Honour for a Person, than to have God keep him Company?
A65309What is Godliness but God- likeness?
A65309What is a drop of Sorrow the Godly tast of, to that bottomless Sea of Wrath the Wicked must drink?
A65309What is meant by Gods making up his Jewels?
A65309What is meant by Gods making up his Jewels?
A65309What is meant by Gods name?
A65309What is that day when God will make up his Jewels?
A65309What is that day when God will make up his Jewels?
A65309What is the Joy of the blessed, but to have a clear transparent sight of God, and to be in the sweet and soft embraces of his love for ever?
A65309What is the world?
A65309What makes it a Communion of Saints but Good conference?
A65309What profit is it that we have kept his ordinance?
A65309What profit should we have if we pray to him?
A65309What richer dowry than Deity?
A65309What shall a poor forlorn Creature do, to get into Covenant with God?
A65309What should we talk of but the things Pertaining to the Kingdom of God?
A65309What think you of the Foolish Virgins?
A65309What was St. Paul so ambitious of?
A65309What was the cause of this?
A65309What were the Apostate Angels damned for, was it for any more than Proud thoughts?
A65309What wilt thou do unto thy great name?
A65309When is the time when the Eyes of Sinners shall be opened, and they shall see a difference between the Righteous and the Wicked?
A65309When they were a lump of sin, he made them Jewels; and when he hath bestowed cost on them, will he lose his cost?
A65309Whence is Impiety but from Incogitancy?
A65309Whence is it God takes such Notice of his Peoples Services?
A65309Whence is it so few fear God?
A65309Whence is it that the Saints thoughts mount up to God?
A65309Whence was this?
A65309Where almost is it to be found?
A65309Where is my Honour?
A65309Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God*?
A65309Wherein doth Gods dealing well with his People appear?
A65309Wherein is the fear of God the true wisdom?
A65309Whither is thy beloved gone O thou fairest among women, that we may seek him with thee?
A65309Who almost will not court the Queen of the Gospel when she is hung with Jewels?
A65309Who but a Fool would humour his enemy?
A65309Who can fight with a Spirit?
A65309Who had more hope of Heaven than St. Paul?
A65309Who hath hardened himself against him, and prospered?
A65309Who knoweth the Power of his anger?
A65309Who more fearful of Sin than St. Paul?
A65309Who shall be Judge?
A65309Who will take a Gift from one that hath the plague?
A65309Who would not be fearers of God?
A65309Who would not come with their humble addresses to God, when he is so pleased with them?
A65309Who would suspect Satan when he comes as a Divine, and if need be, can quote Scripture?
A65309Why did Paul walk with such integrity?
A65309Why doth God woo and beseech you by his Ambassadours, if he were not willing to be in Covenant?
A65309Why hath Satan filled thy Heart to lye to the Holy- Ghost?
A65309Why is a little better?
A65309Why is my Soul held any longer with this Earthen fetter of my Flesh?
A65309Why is there no good conference?
A65309Why is this Name, The Lord of Hosts given to God?
A65309Why persecutest thou me?
A65309Why then do you not set good discourse on Foot?
A65309Why was Iudaea( the Ancient seat of Israel) called a delightsome Land?
A65309Will a King endure to have his Robes spit upon, or his Crown- royal thrown in the dust?
A65309Will not a mans thoughts run upon his Portion?
A65309Will not that be a blessed Time, never to have a Vain thought more?
A65309Will the Son of Iesse give every one of you Fields and Vineyards?
A65309Will the World or mens Lusts give them such noble Recompences of Reward, as God bestows upon his Followers?
A65309Will ye sell your brethren?
A65309Would not any have thought the Whales belly should have been Jonahs Grave?
A65309Would you have God give you Comfort, and never think of him?
A65309Would you have your Spirits chearful?
A65309Ye visited me; how was that?
A65309Yes, might some say, what sin is it to have a just cause brought before unbelievers, that it may be decided?
A65309Yet who had more assurance?
A65309and who are so like him as they that think on his Name?
A65309and will he lose any of his Elect?
A65309and( as the Prophet Ezekiel saith,) Should me then make- mirth?
A65309between a clod of Earth and a Diamond?
A65309canst thou say thou hast bin as great a Mourner as thou hast bin a Sinner?
A65309did he give us Thoughts that we should think of every thing but him?
A65309did he prosper?
A65309did not he go with them into the fire?
A65309do our Affections sally forth towards Christ?
A65309do we desire him superlatively and uncessantly?
A65309dost thou gain or lose?
A65309doth Grace prevail or Sin?
A65309hath not one God created us?
A65309have not you matter enough in the Word to furnish you with discourse?
A65309he might take away his Spirit; Doth he chastize the Body?
A65309he will Answer, to heap up Riches: if God asks Princes and Emperors, how have you employ''d your Thoughts?
A65309how can these two stand together, our meriting and God''s sparing?
A65309how is it?
A65309if one should offer to adopt another, and make him Heir of his Estate, and he should refuse it, would not his discretion be called in question?
A65309is thy Faith in it''s Infancy, being but newly laid to the breast of a Promise?
A65309may not the Devil beg every sinner for a Fool at the last day †?
A65309may not we fear the death of Religion before the birth of Reformation?
A65309never to be within the sight of a temptation or the fear of a Relapse?
A65309or is it Grown to some stature?
A65309or what receiveth he at thy hands?
A65309saith Peter, Lord to whom shall we go?
A65309shall not we think of the God of our Mercies?
A65309so hath Satan; have you Profession?
A65309then what is there in God that made it?
A65309thou shalt have Gates of Pearl: Is Honour desireable?
A65309thou shalt have white Robes: Is Pleasure desireable?
A65309we have deserved to drink in a Cup of Wrath: doth God cut us short?
A65309were these Arrows given us to shoot beside the Mark?
A65309what are the things of this world?
A65309what is a drop of Sorrow to a Sea of Sin?
A65309what is become of all your Psalms now, and your Prayers?
A65309what my Servant, who hath wrought so many Miracles, whom I have spoken with in the Mount Face to Face, were not ye afraid to speak against him?
A65309what will become of us without sparing Mercy?
A65309when Christ asked his Disciples will ye also go away?
A65309where do they make their most frequent Visits?
A65309which way have your Thoughts run?
A65309will he not string these Pearls, and put them in his celestial Cabinet?
A65309will men go to measure Arms with God?
A58795''T is true indeed we are naturally more free to Evil than the Angels, and some Angels perhaps were more free to it than others; but what then?
A58795''T is true, instead of conquering, we may, if we please, yield our selves captive to Folly and Wickedness; but what then?
A587956. what doth the Lord require of thee?
A58795AND if he be present with all things, how is it imaginable he should sit still among them, and exercise no Providence over them?
A58795AND yet how commonly do we see men pass judgment on Gods Nature from such particular Providences?
A58795Again, How came the Air which hath no Design in it self to place it self so commodiously as it hath done between the Earth and the Heavens?
A58795And by what other Right can any Person or Persons pretend to govern in Gods Kingdom under him, but by Commission from him?
A58795And how can they be immediately under him if they are not immediately authorized by him?
A58795And how can we conceive such active Perfections as these to be present with all things without ever acting upon them?
A58795And if he can not relieve us, to what end should we hope in him, depend upon him, or pray to him?
A58795And if it were not inconsistent with the Divine Goodness to create free Agents, why should it be inconsistent with it to permit them to act freely?
A58795And if we owe not our Lives and Beings to his Power, what right hath he to exact our Obedience?
A58795And indeed to what purpose should he?
A58795And is a Man easier made by Chance than his Picture?
A58795And then how is it possible that any temptation whatsoever should be able to cope with or prevail against''em?
A58795And this being so, of what unspeakable Consequence are the Actions of Men, that thus draw after''em a Chain of Joys or Woes as long as Eternity?
A58795And what I beseech you is the reason that God should thus dislike his own Institutions?
A58795And what if among men there are some Monsters in respect of their Minds, as well as others in respect of their Bodies?
A58795And what is there in all this that is any way unsutable, yea, that is not every way answerable to the Goodness of Providence?
A58795Angels and Brutes, why should it be thought unsutable to make a middle Nature between them?
A58795BUT you will say, by these Mens Examples you plainly see what a Mystery of Iniquity there is in religious Pretences; and what then?
A58795But pray what Reputation can a Man have to forfeit, that owns no other Law or Obligation but his Interest?
A58795But what an unreasonable way of concluding is this?
A58795Can we think it more advantageous to us that Atheism should be true, than that Humane Society should be upheld and perpetuated?
A58795For I would fain know, do Governors govern by Gods Authority or the Peoples?
A58795For do we not see Men very often act against their Consciences, and fly in the face of their own Convictions?
A58795For how can God be present by any Power, or Virtue or Efficacy of his Nature, in any Place from whence the real Substance of his Divinity is excluded?
A58795For how can any cause fit any two things to one another without having some Idea in his mind of the natures of them both?
A58795For how can he be supreme Governor of the World, if all other Governments are not immediately under him?
A58795For how can we conceive that infinite Wisdom should be present where a world of things are to be ordered, and yet order nothing?
A58795For if he sees not into our Affairs, how can he succour and relieve us?
A58795For if the World be not his, why should we pray to him for what we want of it, or praise him for what we enjoy?
A58795For if there be no God, what should oblige any to own any Superiour, or pay any Submission?
A58795For if we depend not on him, what have we to do with him?
A58795For to what purpose should we pray to a God that is not at leisure to hear us, or hope in a God that is not concerned to help us?
A58795For what can any Mans Promise signifie, if he be under no Obligation but Interest?
A58795For what doth that Wisdom signifie that contrives nothing?
A58795For what good is there so good as Heaven, or what evil so bad as Hell?
A58795For what less than an infinite Power can bear a due Proportion to such a vast and immense World?
A58795For what should we praise him if he be no ways beneficial to the World?
A58795How blank and forlorn will the Fool look to find himself thus fatally mistaken?
A58795How can I think much to serve him, when I serve my self by it to the best Purpose in the World?
A58795How can he operate by his own immediate Efficiency where he is not?
A58795How then can we suppose that an infinite Power whose End is Action, should be present where a World of things are to be done, and do nothing?
A58795If it might not have been how came it to be?
A58795If not, how apparently do we engage against our own Interest, when we espouse the Cause of Irreligion?
A58795If there be any thing in this World so contemptible as not to deserve his Regard, why did he create it?
A58795If there be not, why should he disdain to govern it?
A58795In a word, it requires us to live in Vnity with the Church, and not to separate our selves from her sacred Assemblies; and for what other reason?
A58795Is Providence to be blamed for leaving Mens Hands at Liberty, because some have been so desperate as to cut their own Throats?
A58795It enjoyns us to be Baptized into the name of Jesus; and for what purpose?
A58795It is true indeed, he designs to glorifie himself in our happiness; but how?
A58795It requires us to commemorate our Saviour''s Passion in a Sacramental Communion of his Body and Blood; and to what End?
A58795Marmoreo Licinus tumulo jacet, at Cato parvo, Pompeius nullo, quis putet esse Deos?
A58795Not from the things themselves sure; for how can they have Art that have no Reason?
A58795Now how ridiculous are these Affections in Humane Nature, if there be no such Being as a God?
A58795Now whence I beseech you proceeds this curious, inimitable Art which we with all our Reason can neither transcribe nor comprehend?
A58795Now whence should this proceed?
A58795On the other hand the bad Man triumphs and rejoyces at present; but what follows?
A58795Or how long might a Man be in sprinkling Colours upon a Canvas with a careless Hand, before they would happen to fall into the exact Picture of a Man?
A58795Or if some Body must needs intervene, why was it not Fire or Water as well as Air, which of all other Bodies is the most commodious?
A58795Or thankfully acknowledg his Goodness when he supplies us with what we need?
A58795Or that Goodness that is good for nothing?
A58795Or that Justice which distributes nothing?
A58795Or that Power which doth nothing?
A58795Or that infinite Goodness should be present where a world of good is to be done, and do no good at all?
A58795Or to render Homage to a Being on whom we have no Dependence?
A58795Or what Loyalty for a Traitor to discover his Conspirators within sight of a Wrack?
A58795So also our blessed Saviour sums up the Whole Duty of Man into two Particulars, and what are they?
A58795That infinite Power should be present where a world of things are to be done, and yet do nothing?
A58795The wicked Licinus lies in a Marble Tomb, but Cato in a small one, and Pompey in none, who would think there were gods?
A58795To be sure if it be for his Interest he will do what he says without any Promise; but if it be not, what Promise can oblige him?
A58795WHO but a Mad- man therefore would ever espouse the Cause of Atheism, or make it his Interest to exclude God out of the World?
A58795Was God obliged in Goodness to make all Kinds of Beings equally perfect?
A58795What Charity is it for a Miser to lend his Money upon Assurance of twenty per cent?
A58795What can be more absurd than for Men to reject Religion because Mens Opinions about it have been so divided?
A58795What reason have we to trust in a Being from whom we expect no Support?
A58795What should move us to love a God that bestows no Good, or to fear a God that inflicts no Evil, or to obey a God that hath no Regard of our Actions?
A58795What therefore can God do more worthy of himself than to govern the World well and wisely?
A58795When ye come to appear before me, who hath required these things at your hands, to tread my Courts?
A58795Whereas in such a vast and immense Space they might have found ten thousand Millions of other Places and Distances to fix in?
A58795Wherewithall shall I come before the Lord and bow my self before the high God?
A58795Whither saith the Psalmist, shall I go from thy Spirit, or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
A58795Why is there not a wide vacuity between?
A58795Why should it be below him to provide for any thing which was not below him to create?
A58795Why should they watch and pray and strive, and contend against a corrupt Nature?
A58795Why should we employ our Possessions in his Service, or think our selves obliged to return him any Part of them in pious or charitable Works?
A58795Why should we patiently submit to his Disposal when he deprives us of what we have?
A58795Why should we thank him if we receive nothing from him?
A58795You will say it is his Interest to keep his Word, because otherwise he will forfeit his Reputation for the future?
A58795alas, this is a conceit, if possible, more ridiculous than the former; for how is it possible to imagine that Chance should ever make a Man?
A58795and in a word, that can neither intend well nor prosecute wisely?
A58795and what doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
A58795and what would these faculties signifie were there no such sounds or odours or savours?
A58795but pray what made this necessity?
A58795in the Fountains and Rivers, that so it may be fit to fructify the Earth, and be a wholesom Drink for its Animals?
A58795must Religion be a Cheat because bad Men play tricks with it, and make it a Cloak for their Knavery?
A58795or that infinite Goodness whose End is doing good, should be present where a World of good is to be done, and do none at all?
A58795or where can we repose our restless Thoughts but in his Providence?
A58795or who will ever presume upon that Mans Word and Engagement, whose avowed Principle it is to be honest no longer than he can gain by it?
A58795that infinite Wisdom whose End is ordering and contriving, should be present where a World of things are to be ordered, and order nothing?
A58795what is this but to cast Lots for their Souls, and throw Cross or Pile for their eternal Salvation?
A58795what is this but to throw Dice for our Souls, and to venture our Salvation on a wild Vncertainty?
A58795yea do not I fill Heaven and Earth?
A26923& c.] But is all false that is not agreeable to their imagination?
A26923( And if the humane nature be an Accident to the divine in Christ, why must we deny Creatures to be Accidents of God?)
A269233. than to have burnt them, or than its ordinary Action?
A269236. by imputing righteousness without works?
A269238?
A26923Accordingly a great Question must be determined, Whether the sins of the Faithful deserve any more than a temporal Chastisement?
A26923Adam had such a Holiness as might be lost: And why may we not say, that Infants first ▪ Grace is of such a sort or degree?
A26923All Propositions that God maketh are true: Because true Propositions are true, must all be true?
A26923All that he hath said against me is materially Answered in the Book already, and if he perceive it not, how can I help that?
A26923And are these so numerous?
A26923And by this time you may answer their Objection that say, Why not a common and conditional Election, as well as a common and conditional Redemption?
A26923And did ● ● die with them?
A26923And how can a man accept of that which he believeth not was ever purchased, procured, or offered him?
A26923And how can a man be thankful for that which he believeth not was ever done for him, or given him?
A26923And how shall they call on him on whom they have not believed,& c.?
A26923And if he be not loved of God, he is miserable?
A26923And if it was made since then, who wa ● the Maker of Objective Christianity?
A26923And if the Law of Grace, whether of the first or second Edition?
A26923And if you add, But what is the cause that, à priore, his Will is thus related and denominated as decreeing this or that?
A26923And is Possibility then any thing extra m ● ntem Di ● inam& humanam?
A26923And is it any Wonder that Humane Language wanteth proper words to signifie that of God, which is so far above our comprehension?
A26923And is this to be denied by any Christian?
A26923And must others be troubled with such Cases?
A26923And then, 2. to enquire, Whether they so keep that Law, as to be saved by it?
A26923And what his merits, sacrifice and intercession could do, before they did exist?
A26923And what man dare say that he can search out the waies of God?
A26923And what would you have more?
A26923And whether Christ''s Abrogation of it was not a returning them to the common, easier and better Condition of Mankind?
A26923And whether they may pray for pardon of perpetual punishment, or need any such pardon?
A26923And whether, as it receiveth him in all the parts of that Office, or which?
A26923And who hath power or skill to make a better than Christ made 〈 … 〉 that attempted it, thereby is an accursed Antichrist?
A26923And who will avoid Sin, Temptations, and Hell, that believeth not him that tells them of the evil, and of the danger that is before him?
A26923And why answer you not what I wrote against Dr. Twisse, before you call for an Answer to him?
A26923And why may not Infants be in a pardoned state, that at first have but that Grace which giveth a moral Power to believe when they come to age?
A26923And why then do they make two Controversies of Election and Redemption, when they mean the same in both?
A26923And ● ● Christ repealed that Law, by which Act did he do it?
A26923And, 1. will not any reasonable Infidel confess, That Thankfulness is naturally due for great and inestimable Benefits?
A26923Are all or most Christians certain that they shall persevere?
A26923Are such esse''s as many in God as the things will be in themselves?
A26923Are these all one with you?
A26923Are they saved by the Ceremony, or by Consent to the Covenant?
A26923As God is not a part of the World, or universal Substance, and yet is eminenter more than a part, what if it be so answered here?
A26923As to the Question, Whether the divine and humane nature be two or one, it is to ask, Whether the nature of God and his Creatures be two or one?
A26923As to the third, is it a divine Proposition, or a humane?
A26923Because they are sacred persons, and belong to God, and serve at his Altars?
A26923But alas how shall I know what esse intentionale is in God?
A26923But he saith( If there be no eternal Futures, what becometh of Divine Prescience?)
A26923But how doth God love a holy Soul if he forsake him, and with- hold his Spirit?
A26923But how is Christ himself physically received?
A26923But if so, then what if Christians take Heathens Children against their Wills, and baptize them, and then turn them home again?
A26923But is it Grace or Free- will that is the chief Cause?
A26923But is not Grace the only cause of the Change?
A26923But is the Divine a part of the Person of a Mediator?
A26923But must Futurity, or Non- futurity, or Nothing, be therefore any thing?
A26923But not as Acts, but for the Object?
A26923But the sticking difficulty is, Whether any men in the World have Grace sufficient to repent and believe savingly, who do not?
A26923But wherein then lieth the Hypostatical Union, if God be equally near to all things?
A26923But whether sub poena mortis is the doubt?
A26923But, 2. have all that hear the Gospel sufficient Grace to believe?
A26923By what Faculty do we be ● ● eve, but by the rational Intellect and Will?
A26923Can you English to any man that takes words for means of understanding things, what it is for[ Things to have an esse intentionale in God?]
A26923Can you forgive me for not loving Confusion?
A26923Controversies I have written of, but only to end them, and not to make them: And who can reconcile them that never mentioneth them?
A26923Could you forget that this would be expected from you?
A26923Do I in all this take part with Ignorance, Error, Heresie or any Sin?
A26923Do not great Benefits freely offered, require Acceptance?
A26923Do not you confess that that esse is non- esse as to any Creature?
A26923Do you not thus confound the World and the Church?
A26923Doth Death bind God, because it is but the privation of Life; or vacuity( si detur vacuum) because it is nothing?
A26923Doth the Comfort of most Christians rest upon the Doctrine of Certainty to persevere?
A26923Doth the Doctrine of eventual Apostasie inferr Mutability in God?
A26923For Repentance is the change of the mind from evil to good?
A26923For is it mediate or immediate Causation or Efficiency which they mean?
A26923For no Man or Angel can have any thing of God, but by free Gift: What have we which we receive not, when our being is of God?
A26923Futurity?
A26923Hath God Accidents, and so many millions of millions of Accidents, and yet most simple and immutable?
A26923Hath Gods Knowledg any Cause?
A26923Hath it any sence?
A26923How fain would some men differ, if they could, or seem to do it, when they do not?
A26923How is it that Nothing will come to pass?
A26923I pray what is the Verity that you say resulteth eternally?
A26923I would you had told me, whether you take the Reality of Futurity to be 〈 … 〉 n esse rei extrinsecae, or in esse objectivo intrinseco?
A26923I ● such Certainty fit for all the justified?
A26923If Dr. Twisse hold Sin to be nothing, doth it follow, that it binds God, because it''s nothing?
A26923If Holiness be not actually lost, is the loss possible?
A26923If a man were holy,( that is, an obedient Lover of God and Goodness) without Faith in Christ, would that save him?
A26923If an outward, then the sence of the Question is, Whether some other Work of God be sufficient to move the Will of Man?
A26923If any, Whether it be the Law of Innocency as made to Adam, or the Law of Grace?
A26923If it be the Essence, why may not the proved Trinity of objective Conceptions, as formal, be called Persons or Hypostases?
A26923If the latter, What is the effect whose sufficiency he questioneth?
A26923If the question be only whether the respective Termination of God''s will, and the Denomination of it as thus or thus terminated, can be resisted?
A26923If the question be, How God knoweth future contingents?
A26923If they should, whence had they that Power?
A26923If you hold, That He hath no Decrees, what is it that you plead for?
A26923Is Futurity a more excellent Being tha ● Spirit, Matter and Motion, to be capable of this Divine Attribute?
A26923Is God''s Will resistible?
A26923Is Nothing a wonder?

A26923Is it a Substance or an Accident?
A26923Is it a wonder for nothing to be independent?
A26923Is it knowing ones self, or knowing another, or another''s knowing me, that constituteth Personality?
A26923Is it the Conceptus Divinus?
A26923Is it the Name[ Worthiness] or the meaning that displeaseth you?
A26923Is it the Realitas futuritionis ex parte ● ei?
A26923Is it the res futura?
A26923Is it unfit for all, and doubting a more safe condition?
A26923Is not that a Proposition?

A26923Is there no other sounder way?
A26923Is this Nothing the Ruler of God and All things, because he causeth not that which is not causable?
A26923Is what true?
A26923It may seem to some a difficult Question whether God by such a Law made them Happier or Worse than the rest of the World?
A26923It must be enquired, Whether such a thing be?
A26923It troubleth men much to open, how Christ was any true Cause of our Pardon and Salvation as a Mediator, before his Incarnation?
A26923Might not the Church have lived with such in Peace?
A26923Might not they yet have lived in Love, that agreed in all the Essentials of Christianity?
A26923No: For, 1. most Christians in the World hold, that Perseverance is uncertain to the godly; and how can they be certain of it to themselves?
A26923No: I ask you, Did he confound them before Christ''s Incarnation, who thought that more than the Jews were saved?
A26923Or are they Creatures in esse intentionali?
A26923Or as a Condition?
A26923Or as it receiveth his Righteousness only?
A26923Or as meritorious?
A26923Or at least, why answer you not Strangius, but impertinently talk of the Serpent Socinus?
A26923Or can he be thankful to he knoweth not whom?
A26923Or can nothing have a ruling Power?
A26923Or how far must our Confidence ascend?
A26923Or is it a Power truly to repent and believe?
A26923Or is it any Virtue or Duty to lye, and say that they know or believe what they are utterly ignorant of?
A26923Or is this a convincing way of reasoning?
A26923Or may others after them make also a new Christianity?
A26923Or only as in his Priestly Office?
A26923Or the Verity of a Proposition?
A26923Or the veritas conceptus Divini de rerum futuritione?
A26923Or to love God habitually, and live holily?
A26923Or to overcome greater Temptations, and persevere?
A26923Or when there was nothing but God, did Nothingness bind God?
A26923Or whether Christ''s Will and Operations should be said to be One or Two?
A26923Or whether Perseverance depend on meer Election and God''s Will, which secureth only some of the justified?
A26923Or will killing men cure them?
A26923Perhaps they will say, That Experience telleth us that God doth usually concurr with them: I answer, And is not that because he worketh by them?
A26923Say you so?
A26923So if the Question be[ Whether God gave any Conditional Will?]
A26923So if the question be, Whether God''s Knowledge be mutable?
A26923So if the question be, Whether God''s Knowledge ● ave many Acts?
A26923Speak Christians, is it not so?

A26923That He should will and cause the Kingdom to be rent from Rehoboam, and yet not cause any one to will or do it?
A26923That there is a Futurum?
A26923The Godfather may be an Hypocrite, and mean nothing that he promiseth; and shall the Child be saved by his Lye that damneth the Lyer himself?
A26923The Godfather may have no Propriety in the Child, but steal him, shall that save him?
A26923The common disputed question is, Whether all men have Grace sufficient to believe?
A26923The difference is, Whether a bad man can change his own will?
A26923The form enquired of, is Quid morale?
A26923The same ● say of his words( if futures be futures without the Divine will, what horrible Fate must be upon God?)
A26923The verit ● rei futurae?
A26923The word[ Rewardable] is long and oft harsh: And what other have we?
A26923Therefore all that remaineth, is to resolve what is the reason of the certain effect when we believe?
A26923Therefore being agreed of the fact and event, we must be agreed of the Intention or Decree, and what needs there more?
A26923They must learn and obey his Doctrine; and can they obey it that believe it not?
A26923Thus much to answer the question, Who shall be Iudge of Controversies and Scripture Sence?

A26864& Quid recipit ut siat potens& efficax?

A26864& c. Doth the general Precept constitute this particular Ordinance as my duty?
A26864& c. Was this Article in the Creed before Christs coming[ Except ye beleeve that I am he, ye shall die in your sinnes?]
A26864& quomodo agit fides in hoc influxu causativo in Evangelium?
A26864& quomodo haec potentia& efficacia fuit in fide?
A26864( Suppose he never Covenanted) or he that takes on him to consent or covenant in heart, when he doth it but in words, and wilfully dissembles?
A26864( wherein he yieldeth as much as I need) and, Whether the Covenant be Conditional?
A26864115 Whether the Sacrament seal the Conditional promise Absolutely?
A26864Abrenuncias Diabolum, mundum& Carnem?
A26864Ananias saith to Paul, Why tarryest thou?
A26864And Cyprians, Quae ista obstinatio est, quae praesumptio, humanam traditionem Divinae dispositioni anteponere?
A26864And can he be the efficient cause, and yet not effect?
A26864And can this be unless it be also said that we made the Gospel?
A26864And do you not seem to imply that man with God doth justifie himself, when you say[ Man can not justifie himself by beleeving without God?]
A26864And doth this alone suffice?
A26864And how can Mr. Bl call this Dogmatical faith, a covenanting?
A26864And how prove you this?
A26864And is Gods command insufficient to oblige us, till we oblige our selves?
A26864And is he not the Anointed King of the Church; and therefore hath Legislative power?
A26864And is it not as hard to discern the reason of this citation, according to your exposition as mine?
A26864And is not the activity here mentioned, an activity in causing?
A26864And so Soveraigns may give out Laws, and Proclamations under their hand and Seal?
A26864And what is it to know, but to discern or understand a discernable, cognoscible, or evident object?
A26864And what is the matter?
A26864And what is this to the question between you and me?
A26864And who is not ignorant in more points then one?
A26864And who knoweth not that these went before the application of the water?
A26864And why should these two be put in opposition?
A26864And will he not use the principal part of his Prerogative?
A26864And, what is the remote reason?
A26864Are we poor worms, our own Gods and Lords, that we should be disobliged till we will be pleased to oblige our selves?
A26864As if[ Byj signified only an instrument?
A26864BUt do you take officium and conditio to be all one?
A26864BUt is this certain?
A26864BUt where''s your conclusion?
A26864Believest thou this?
A26864Between these two questions, What justifieth ex parte Christi?
A26864But I thought the contest in your Dispute had been, Which is the justifying act of faith, and which not?
A26864But Sir, what''s the cause of this sudden change?
A26864But all the force of your Argument is from your dangerous addition, which, who will take for good Exposition?
A26864But before the first question can be determined, the second must be raised and resolved,[ Utrum praestitit conditionem?]
A26864But can we say so of the present Conclusion in question?
A26864But doth that give you a liberty to assert what you list, or what can not be proved true, because all men see not the truth?
A26864But how much might be said against this?
A26864But if you ask on the offenders part, What it is that delivereth him as the condition?
A26864But if you ask only, What it is on her part that is the condition of enjoying these Benefits?
A26864But is the choice which he intimateth Real, as to the Act, and suited to the Object?
A26864But knew you not that it is not the thing in Question?
A26864But then how come you to say next, that it is Christs blood?
A26864But though faith be not the instrument of our Justification, may it not be called the instrument of receiving Christ?
A26864But what Covenant of God is t ● is?
A26864But what if all this had been left out, and you had proved the Moral Law, the only Rule of duty?
A26864But what is the meaning of your Minor, which you say is sealed?
A26864But what is this to the matter?
A26864But what is this to your major?
A26864But what mean these strange words of[ Activity and power received] if the instrument be not active?
A26864But what, is it another sort of them?
A26864But who can tell what you mean by a communication of actions?
A26864But why can not faith justifie unless it be working?
A26864But will a nude and crude Assertion change mens judgements?
A26864But you say, This is plain; to whom?
A26864But, alas, how invisible is the Proof of this in all your Writings?
A26864By what authority do you adde[ only] in your interpretation?
A26864Can the Covenant require perfection, and not require sincerity, when sincerity is contained in perfection?
A26864Can they be our Conditions and Gods too?
A26864Can you hence prove, that accepting Christ as Lord, is not the condition of our Justification?
A26864Can you prove the like,( yea and more) of faith, and will not?
A26864Credis in Patrem, filium& spiritum sanctum?
A26864Did not I acknowledge expresly as much imperfection as you here affirm of Paul ● s frame?
A26864Did you indeed imagine that I had denied that?
A26864Do you mean that you will read it there ready formed?
A26864Do you not know how ordinarily even saving Faith it self is denominated from the Intellectual Act alone?
A26864Do you not oft read in Divines of Justificatio Juris, vel Legis, as distinct from Justificatio Judicis, vel per sententiam?
A26864Do you take the Precept de genere, to be equivalent to the Precepts de speciebus?
A26864Do you think I know not a Cause and Effect are so related, that formaliter it is not an efficient before it doth effect?
A26864Do you think Preachers yet be not bound to endeavour the sa ● ing Conversion of whole Nations?
A26864Do you think that any act of faith is Justification?
A26864Doth Christ bid us Baptize men into the name of the Father, Son, and Holy- Ghost; and would you have us do this before they profess their consent?
A26864Doth God effect our Justification by the instrumentall, efficient causation of our faith?
A26864Doth he that sealeth the major of this following Syllogism, seal the Conclusion?
A26864Doth it follow that a Nation is not capable of sound faith, because they have it not?
A26864Doth it follow that faith gives efficacy and power to the Covenant to justifie?
A26864Doth it follow that therefore either faith makes it an in ● trument, or is an instrument it self?
A26864Doth it not plainly imply that there are and must be positive Laws instituting a way of worship?
A26864Doth not mutual consent expressed go before the sealing of the Covenant?
A26864Especially when they finde us making this the main part of the Protestant Cause, what wonder ▪ if they judge our Cause naught?
A26864For my self it is not much Matter: but must Gods Truth( for such I take it) stand as a Butt for every man to shoot at?
A26864For none can forgive sins but God only, even to another: but who can forgive himself?
A26864For who can imagine but that the young Popish Students will be confirmed in the rest of their Religion, when they finde that we erre in these?
A26864For your Argument, I grant the Conclusion; and what would you have more?
A26864Further, it''s considerable, what Righteousness it is that the Prophet there speaks of, whether universal or particular?
A26864Have you a fuller evidence that you are a sincere Believer, then you have that, All sincere Believers are Justified?
A26864He was justified by works: and the Scripture was fulfilled, which saith, he was justified by faith?
A26864Here now if the Question be, What it is on his part that Redeemed her?
A26864How do you make Faith and Repentance to be Conditions of the Covenant on our part, seeing the bestowing of them is part of the condition on Gods part?
A26864How easily are all these affirmed?
A26864How else could you next say, that they are guiltie of hypocrisie?
A26864How ill is Soveraignty put in stead of the Soveraign?
A26864How is faith more fitly called an instrument?
A26864How many times over and over, do Christ and his Apostles promise pardon and salvation to all that believe in Christ, without distinction of believing?
A26864How nakedly is it again affirmed, without the least proof, that our faith is Gods instrument in justifying?
A26864How otherwise do these accord?
A26864How then can we scire certitudinem, nisi sciendo aliquam Certitudinis Evidentiam?
A26864I asserted, serve to warrant the Prophets comparison, without our denying the perfection of Being?
A26864I can not blame the Reader if he be weary of this long Apolo ● ● ● ▪ and ask, To what purpose are all these words?
A26864I told you this when I saw you, and you asked me, Whether Mr C. were against it?
A26864IS not[ Righteousness] or[ Holiness] as Scriptural, as Logical, as plain a term, and as fit for Disputants, as[ Gospel- frame?]
A26864If but sometimes, Why do you take it for granted that it so signifies here?
A26864If divers, shew us what they are; and which part of its power and efficacy the Gospel receives from faith, and which from God?
A26864If gracious Habits are properly called instruments of the soul, then so may other Habits: And why is not this language more in use among Logicians?
A26864If it be askt What is it that Honoureth or Enricheth him?
A26864If so, shew us the Chapter and Verse?
A26864If they are the same, then God must convey justifying efficacy and power into faith first, and by faith into the Gospel: which who imagineth?
A26864If you will have a Syllogism of Gods making, why did you not tell us when or where you found it?
A26864In what Book that ever was written have these nice distinguishers proved their Doctrine by Scripture or sound reason?
A26864In what sense is that called Outward?
A26864Is Righteousness by the Law of works?
A26864Is here ever a word for the Gospels receiving its efficacy to Justification by faith?
A26864Is it all one to prove it and to be in order to prove it, to seal it and to be in order to the sealing of it?
A26864Is it an Absolute and simple Proposition or Enunciation, as you express it?
A26864Is it not against the nature and common use of Sealing ▪ that it should be in order before the Promise or Covenant?
A26864Is it not enough that you take the Word to be a passive instrument of Confirmation and Conversion?
A26864Is it only a consent to have God called thei ● God, and themselves named his people?
A26864Is not a Covenant, Contract, Deed of gift, the most proper instrumental efficient cause of the duness of the thing given or conveyed?
A26864Is not a praemiant or priviledging law, in the most strict and proper sense the Legislators instrument, effecting the debitum praemii vel privelegii?
A26864Is not here a curious Doctrine of Faith and Justification?
A26864Is not that to be a Cause and no Cause?
A26864Is not the Potentia here meant, Potentia efficiendi?
A26864Is not the Testament of a man the most strict and proper instrument of conveying right of the Legacy to the Legatary?
A26864Is not this consent necessarie in our present case?
A26864Is not this true of Moral operations as well as Physical?
A26864Is not this true of moral operations as well as Physical?
A26864Is taking a name, entering into Covenant?
A26864Is that your Conclusion?
A26864Is the Conclusion proved on the proof of one Proposition?
A26864Is the act of faith the eye of the soul as distinct from sight?
A26864Is the performer of the condition of[ Gratefull consent] no willing Agent, unless an efficient Cause?
A26864Is there any thing in the whole world that can m ● r ● unfi ● ly be called a passive instrument, then the Covenant of Justification?
A26864Is there not more inconvenience in saying that both the Grant is Conditional, and yet also that it is but Conditionally sealed?
A26864Is this indeed the Controversie?
A26864Is this your meaning, that my exceptions would hold, if faith were only mans instrument, or only Gods; but not when it is both?
A26864It is God that justifieth, who is he that condemneth?
A26864It is pitty that the Reader should be troubled with so much, about so low a question, which of us two doth best express our meaning?
A26864It is then those that are so, and are called so: But will it not serve, if they are so, unless called so?
A26864Know ye not, that as many as were Baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death?
A26864MR Baxter sayes, The great question is, whether they seal to the Conclusion, as they do to the major Proposition?
A26864Moreover, did Christ in Instituting these Ordinances and Officers, do any more then was done before, or not?
A26864Moreover, doth not the Scripture call Christ a Lawgiver?
A26864Must I then differ from none?
A26864Must any sound believer then be Baptised?
A26864Must the Spirit needs be our instrument, because it is[ By] the Spirit?
A26864Must there be such Liberty of opposing it, and none of Defending?
A26864Nay doth not your arguing intimate that the believer is more assured that Christ is given to him, then that pardon is given him?
A26864Next you say[ Why else is this Righteousness sometime called the Righteousness of faith?
A26864No, nor with him neither?
A26864Now I would know of him, whether God require them to make this engagement seriously, sincerely,& firmato animo, or not?
A26864Now which of these perfections of Righteousness do you deny?
A26864Now who knows not that salvation is made the Portion of Believers, Saints, Disciples?
A26864O Death, where is thy sling?
A26864O Grave, where is thy victory?
A26864O that you had condescended so far to your Readers weakness, as to have deigned to shew him, Quomodo patitur Evangelium recipiendo?
A26864ONe that had not read what I write, would think by your Answer, that I had made a doubt whether there be any Law made to Christ at all or not?
A26864Or are the Pardon and Acceptance one compleat instrument?
A26864Or do you mean that in the Institution, God gives you the materials, and you form it your selves?
A26864Or else if the former were not quid notius, how could it be a fit medium?
A26864Or if you took it for the whole Law of nature, is that the only Rule?
A26864Or is it a Conditional one?
A26864Or is it more fit to call the Traytors Acceptance, the instrument of his Pardon, then the Kings Act?
A26864Or why may not James by concession preoccupate an objection?
A26864Quanto s ● tius est ire aperta via,& recta, quam sibi ipsi flexus disponere, quos cum magna molestia debeas relegere?
A26864Quid ergo?
A26864Quid est igitur Credulitas vel fides?
A26864Quid illius pallorem?
A26864Quid lenioribus verbis ulcus publicum abscondam?
A26864Saw you not this when you wrote it?
A26864Shall I tell him that he dissembleth, and is not Willing?
A26864So that when we must be justified, the Question will not be,[ Hast thou believed and obeyed perfectly?]
A26864Sometimes the Righteousness of God which is by faith; but that it is a Righteousness which faith receives?]
A26864Suppose you speak true, as you do, if you mean it only of Meriting our cleansing: What is this to our Question?
A26864Tell us then what actual seeing and receiving is?
A26864That faith is the instrument of Justification?
A26864That is, that it is truly Righteousness?
A26864That is, the real choice of such a Christ as is offered, and on such terms?
A26864The Promise is to you and your children; arguing a Right to the Seal, from an Interest in the Promise?
A26864The first question in judgement being[ An sit obligatus ad paenam, vel non?
A26864The like may be said of Gods part?
A26864These Mr. Cotton cals half promises( as who knows but the Lord may do thus and thus?
A26864This must be your meaning, by your first words: But then which of these is the most principal cause, and which the subordinate?
A26864Twisse saith, An audebit Arminianus aliquis affirmare Remissionem pec ● ● torum esse effectionem fidei?
A26864WHat mean you by gathering it?
A26864WHether you take holiness as signifying a Quality or Relation, there is no doubt but it hath its form, or else it could not have a Being?
A26864What confusion is it to talk of the moral Law being the only Rule, when it is not one thing that is called the moral Law?
A26864What if I should grant all this?
A26864What is the Condition that you mean?
A26864What is the second Commandment for the Affirmative part, but a general precept to worship God according to his Positive Institution?
A26864What mean you to say Obedience and Valour was not their Justification?
A26864What more proper to the truly sanctified?
A26864What say you for matter of duty, to the positive Precepts of the Gospel?
A26864What that Delivered her?
A26864What that enriched her?
A26864What that honoured her?
A26864What then shall I resolve on?
A26864What then?
A26864What though the Word without faith is no instrument?
A26864What''s that to this?
A26864What?
A26864What?
A26864What?
A26864When Christ saith to us,[ If a Brother repent, forgive him] here by[ Repenting] doth Christ mean plainly Repenting, or the profession of it?
A26864When by the obedience of one many are made righteous?
A26864When did Mr Pemble prove that the Word or other objects are passive instruments?
A26864Whether a working faith only, and not a faith that is dead and idle?
A26864Whether it be[ Accepting Christ as Lord] or[ the blood of Christ] that justifieth?
A26864Whether the Sacraments seal the conditional Promise absolutely?
A26864Who knows not that praemiare& punire are acts of a Law?
A26864Who would have thought but you would rather have said[ Nor will God justifie man, unless his faith be the instrument of it?]
A26864Why did you express a Conditional Gift, in Absolute terms, leaving out the Condition?
A26864Why did you not give us one word for proof, that this Restipulation is a thing following Baptism?
A26864Why did you not name one line where I do confound the parts of Christs Offices?
A26864Why did you not offer some proof?
A26864Why did you not shew some reason of this ill consequence?
A26864Why do you still confound Christs real abode in us by his Spirit, with the relation we have upon Justification?
A26864Why else should they call them such, had not they seemed to be such, and professed it?
A26864Why is that?
A26864Why should it be proper to Dying men to be Wise, and to Judge truly of this world, when all the living undoubtedly know that they must Die?
A26864Why then do you intimate by your arguing as if I did not?
A26864Why, but how can we that know not the heart, know here when our Brother repenteth?
A26864Why, it is Gods only instrument of active Constitution of the dueness of the benefi ●?
A26864Will all your Readers take your complaint for a demonstration of the errour of what you complain of?
A26864Will you exclude also his Obedience, Resurrection, Intercession,& c?
A26864Would you have no more?
A26864Yet if any should in one Question include both, What on his part did save her from death?
A26864Your Conclusion is, therefore this the Sacrament sealeth; what is this?
A26864[ How holiness should be imperfect taken materially?]
A26864and What justifieth, or is required to our Justification ex parte peccatoris?
A26864and all the work that it doth on the souls of your hearers really?
A26864and her taking him as Rich, or to enrich her, is the sole condition of her enriching?
A26864and her taking him to Dignifie her, is the sole condition of her Dignity?
A26864and if so( then which nothing more certain) are not these then so farre our righteousness against that accusation to be pleaded?
A26864and is not all effection by action?
A26864and so whether it be a mutual Covenant, and both parties be actually obliged?
A26864and that this Restipulation is an essential part of the contract, called stipulation?
A26864and that''s all that the Text saith: But may not the absence of faith hinder, unless when present it doth effect?
A26864and the hand as distinct from receiving?
A26864and what Death man should have dyed, in case Christ had not been promised?
A26864and what on her part?
A26864and what silken ears the Preachers of humility have themselves?
A26864and whether Legal, consisting in absolute perfection; or Evangelical, consisting in sincerity?
A26864and who knows what you mean?
A26864and why not in this point as well as another?
A26864and will judge by these of the rest of our Doctrine?
A26864and yet no active instrument?
A26864and, Whether the Obligation to Punishment be dissolved before we Believed, sinned, or were born?
A26864and[ By what are we justified ex parte nostri?]
A26864and[ Whom are we to judge such and use as such?]
A26864aut utrum fides i d communicavit quod nunquam habuit?
A26864but doth that prove him or his faith the efficient cause of his own pardon and Justification?
A26864but whether it be so properly and indeed?
A26864doth it follow that therefore it is the only Rule?
A26864if it be so unquestionably proper?
A26864illius maciem notas?
A26864is he but a pretender to Hypocrisie, that takes on him a Christian, when he is none?
A26864of Baptism, the Lords Supper, the Lords day, the Officers and Government of the Church,& c. Is the Law of nature the only Rule for these?
A26864or any shew of advantage to your Cause?
A26864or are they divers?
A26864or doth Scripture use to divide Saints, as the Genus into two Species?
A26864or onely unsound believers and Infidels that will promise to believe hereafter?
A26864or only an offer which conveys not Right till it be Accepted on the terms on which its offered?
A26864or should you have expected it?
A26864or that, I take it to be meerly or primarily de fide, that Scripture is Gods Revelation?
A26864or the conclusion conditionally, when only one of the Premises is of Divine Revelation?
A26864or through our own meritorious Works?
A26864or to be a sufficient Rule without them?
A26864or why did God assign faith to this office?
A26864or why should I be so vain as to stand to confute it?
A26864or will not have it?
A26864s ● y, It is a Repentance short of that which is saving, that is here required; I would he would describe it to us, and tell us wherein it is short?
A26864say that we must not honour them, lest we mistake and give that honour to one that hath no right to it?
A26864say therefore that none is obliged to forgive?
A26864shall we Baptize them first, and ask them whether they believe and consent after?
A26864those that are called professed Christians, and are not?
A26864though they know not what Christ or Christianity is?
A26864utrum eminenter an formaliter?
A26864was there any mention of Absolute Granting?
A26864what is it to our present question?
A26864what reports spread abroad?
A26864when I have professedly published the contrary, before those Arguments?
A26864when yet you''l confess the Will is necessarily an Agent in this?
A26864which he concludes in the Affirmative: The other, What faith justifieth?
A26864yea from no Learned Divines?
A26864〈 ◊ 〉 you must feign the Word to be the passive instrument of Justification too?
A30585''T is mercy that our lives have not gone many times for Gods Glory; How often might God have glorified Himself in taking away our lives?
A305851. what weariness is there?
A3058517. where the holy Ghost saith, that God prepares the heart: And what then?
A3058521. there the Apostle speaking of the Heathens; he doth rebuke them; For what?
A305855. we find that Solomon when he was preparing for the Temple, he would build a great Temple, why?
A30585Am I worse than the Devils themselves?
A30585And by drawing nigh to God often, you will come to encrease your graces abundantly: your graces, how wil they act?
A30585And is God a holy God?
A30585And is it but this?
A30585And is not this a dreadfull thing then, to be guilty of not sanctifying of Gods Name?
A30585And then, what safety is there in being neer to God, especially in these dangerous times?
A30585And this can not be schism thus to do; As now if this schism?
A30585And what do you do when you Worship God?
A30585As Moses should say in Gods Name, I must, and will have glory from the people, And how?
A30585As if Moses should have said, Why do you contend for any more Honor, the Lord hath separated you, to bring you neer to himself?
A30585Because God is an Eternal God?
A30585Bring strange fire into Gods Service, What''s that?
A30585But Hezekiah prayed for them saying, The good Lord pardon every one; what, every one?
A30585But I have so many sins mixt with my prayers, how can I beleeve?
A30585But had God ever forbidden it?
A30585But hath God appointed that the great Ordinance for the converting and the edifying of souls in the way to eternal life?
A30585But then as for others that have made little or no conscience of sanctifying of Gods Name, how had they need be humbled?
A30585But then if you can answer thus, Thou O Lord didst require it: It is well: But then God hath another Question, Whose Image and Superscription is this?
A30585But then may a poor soul say, How shall I be able to stand before this God that is so glorious?
A30585But what is meant by an Honest Heart?
A30585But what is the meaning of the other, Say not, who shall ascend up into Heaven& c?
A30585But what saith it?
A30585But when the heart comes to it, in what manner should the duty be performed so as the Name of God may be sanctified in the duty?
A30585But where do we find that God spake this?
A30585But you will say, Is it not better for to be given into every ones hand?
A30585But you will say, Is it possible for any creature which comes to tender up its worship to God, to tender up that which is fit for a God to have?
A30585But you will say, May not an unregenerate man Pray?
A30585But you will say, What is the meaning of the plowing of our hearts for the preparation of the Word?
A30585Can there be too much to make thee happy?
A30585Consider, If thou doest not beleeve, what a case art thou in?
A30585Cursed be the deceiver which hath in his flock a male, and voweth and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing: why?
A30585Dare I venture my soul and my eternal estate upon hopes that these things are not so bad as I hear?
A30585Did Jesus Christ come into the world for that end for to cause thee to depart more from God?
A30585Do not we find in Scripture that the Church had alwaies wicked men among them?
A30585Do not we see that men will rather favor their own Kindred than strangers, though the offence be the same?
A30585Do you come peaceably say they?
A30585Do you get nothing else but this by hearing Sermons?
A30585Doest thou say, Her''s a great deal?
A30585From whence is it that thou art unfit, but from the temptation of the Devil?
A30585Further consider, God as he is an eternal God, what sutable disposition doth this require of me when I am to look upon God as an eternal Being?
A30585God, He is the living God: What behavior then doth beseem me towards this living God?
A30585How comes it to pass that these are apostatized thus from God?
A30585How doth it appear that the Nation of Israel is a greater Nation than other Nations are?
A30585How hath God glorified himself?
A30585How is that?
A30585How many live without God in the world, and do declare to all the world that they are not of God?
A30585How?
A30585I am now going to God; for what?
A30585I appeal to any gratious heart, What canst thou want of any of these, or what wouldest thou want?
A30585I appeal to you, have you had that freedom in prayer, afterwards?
A30585I beseech you now lay this text to your hearts, Do you prepare your hearts to seek God?
A30585I have written unto you yong men, you are yong, you have strong natures, and so strength of nature for God: But how comes this to pass?
A30585I must sanctifie Gods Name, and how can I do that, except my heart be sanctified?
A30585If any of you should say, How can we sanctifie Gods Name, we are poor and weak, we can do little?
A30585If so be that thou sawest a knife that had cut the throat of thy dearest child, would not thy heart rise against that knife?
A30585If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hand towards him:( What then?)
A30585If you ask me, wherein it differs?
A30585If you do neglect duty in the morning upon any business, are you fitter to perform duty at night because of it?
A30585If you had but the Invitations of the Spirit now, that sometimes you have had, how happy were it for you?
A30585In the Worship of God there be two Questions that He will ask, First, Who required this at your hands?
A30585Is it not a sweet thing to be in his presence?
A30585Is not this honor enough?
A30585Is there a word presented?
A30585Is this all?
A30585It seems then that it is not enough to receive it with gladness?
A30585It was but a howling upon their beds: And how so?
A30585It was the speech of Cain if thou beest of the same body, you are to have a care of your Brother; do not ye Judg those that are within?
A30585Know you not that a little leaven leaveneth the whol lump?
A30585Let us draw neer( saith the Text) Who would not draw neer to God?
A30585Mark how he speaks, But it is good for me: Why?
A30585Mark the phrase, You fasted in the fifth and seventh month, and for seventy yeers together, but saith the Lord, Did you at all fast unto me?
A30585Must the People of Israel manifest their holiness in this, That they must eat nothing torn by beasts, but cast it unto dogs?
A30585Ninthly, If thou doest not sanctifie Gods Name in the hearing of the word, what comfort canst thou ever have by the word in the day of affliction?
A30585Now concerning that I''le but propound these few particulars; You will say, Must we beleeve every thing that is spoken?
A30585Now if I should come from one end of the Congregation to the other, and ask every one of you this Question, It is your duty to Worship God, Is it not?
A30585Now if you ask me in what particulars doth the behavior of the soul consist that is very sutable to the greatness of God in the general?
A30585Now then you will say, What should be done in the hearing Gods Word, so as Gods Name may be Sanctified?
A30585Now what doth this call for?
A30585Now when is there a time for the acting of our graces upon God, so as when we come to worship God?
A30585Now you will say, How doth God appear, that he doth not accept of them?
A30585Now you will say, How should a Beleever sanctifie the Justice of God?
A30585Oh fear and tremble lest your condition be such as to be nigh to cursing: Who knows what a day, a week may bring forth?
A30585Oh now, the good Word of the Gospel, how should we prize it, and keep it in our hearts?
A30585Oh what a good thing is it to be in the presence of God: Is not the Lord the fountain of thy life?
A30585One would have thought that these Priests offering Incense to the true God, what hurt was there in taking other Fire?
A30585Or was the holiness of the People of Israel such, as God required them, that they must eat nothing that was torn by beasts?
A30585Saith he, Go ye into al the world and preach the Gospel to every creature, and he that beleeveth and is Baptized shall be saved?
A30585Secondly, Suppose we do not find our hearts prepared as we do desire; Whether it were better to leave off the duty than perform it?
A30585So, our coming nigh to God is such a priviledg as cost the Blood of Christ; And will not you improve it?
A30585Suppose it be one of your own family, wil not you be ready to excuse them?
A30585Take it; how shal we take it?
A30585That is, That you should come to worship him, Is this a small thing to you?
A30585The Cup of blessing which we bless, it is not the Communion of the blood of Christ?
A30585The First is, Whether we ought at all times to set apart some time for Preparation to every duty of Gods Worship?
A30585The Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: Thou art separated from the world, To what end?
A30585The Lord is terrible out of his holy places: When we have to deal with God, who can stand before this holy God?
A30585The Lord there did acknowledg that they were very much affected in their prayers, but what was it?
A30585The Saints of God, the Children of Israel, the Church of God are said to be a people neer to God; Why neer him?
A30585The bread which we break, is it not the Communion of the body of Christ?
A30585The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not Communion of the blood of Christ?
A30585The way to be assured that God will hear you, is by casting your selves upon God, how can you know that he will hear, but by resting upon him?
A30585Their parts act much before others, But what is there between God and their own souls?
A30585Then what sutable behavior doth become me?
A30585They have built a glorious Temple to God, but what do I regard that saith God?
A30585They were careful to offer their fattest beasts in their peace- offerings, and will not God regard them?
A30585Thinkest thou this O man that judgest them that do such things,& doest the same, that thou shalt escape the Judgment of God?
A30585This day if you should hear a voice out of the Clouds from Heaven speaking to you, would you not then listen?
A30585This is a strange Scripture: What, must a Prophet go to them to make their hearts fat, and to shut their eyes?
A30585Thou rejectest the Word, doest thou?
A30585To examine our selves of what?
A30585Trouble is neer many of you, perhaps there''s not a spans breadth between death and us, what a blessed thing is it then to have God to be neer us?
A30585We are bound to humble our selves before God, but here it is that he did not humble himself before Jeremiah the Prophet; Why before the Prophet?
A30585We know how it was with Adam, when God appeared in the Garden and called to him, he ran to hide himself; Why?
A30585Were they not struck with such fear that they thought they should die?
A30585What Nation is there so great as you are?
A30585What account had you been able to have given unto him?
A30585What did Mary choose?
A30585What do they come and draw neer me with their lips, and their hearts are far from me, and do they worship me in a formal way?
A30585What do you get this by going to Sermons?
A30585What doth a Father more delight in than to have his Children about him?
A30585What if we do not sanctifie Gods Name in this dutie?
A30585What is it then?
A30585What should a Child love most but to be in the presence of his Father?
A30585What then is the holiness of the infinite God?
A30585What was their sin?
A30585What would make you to attend to any thing?
A30585What''s the reason then that you sin so much with your bodies?
A30585What''s the reason why Heaven is said to be the presence of God, and why those that are in Heaven are said to live with God?
A30585What''s the reason why we wander so as we do, but meerly because we see not God?
A30585When ever thou art worshiping of God, do not satisfie thy self meerly in the duty done, but consider, Do I sanctifie Gods Name in the duty?
A30585When every toy, every feather, every light matter cals them off; Is this to Sanctifie Gods Name?
A30585When thou comest before God, Consider that thou comest to a merciful God: And what should this work?
A30585When thou comest to perform holy duties thou art troubled, Will the Lord have regard to such a duty as this is?
A30585When you go home, you must hold forth the power of the Word you hear: well, what wil become of that?
A30585Where do we find that ever God had forbidden them to offer strange Fire, or appointed that they should offer only one kind of Fire?
A30585Whether it be sinfull to pray for afflictions, as somtimes some will be ready to do?
A30585Whether it it be from the general Bounty and Patience of God, or from the special love of God in Jesus Christ?
A30585Who shall go down into the deep?
A30585Who shall go down to Hell to know there, whether that place be prepared for him or no?
A30585Why, canst thou make good the former, and appeal to God, that indeed it was thy care to make preparation?
A30585Why, did they not fear the Lord?
A30585Why, in what respects may a man be said to draw nigh to God when he Worships him?
A30585Why, is not God in every place?
A30585Why?
A30585Will God accept of a duty when I perform it, and am not set for it?
A30585Would you know whether you have received the Spirit of aboption yea or no?
A30585Yes, what then?
A30585You may ask me this Question, How may I know that I am acted by self- ends in holy Duties?
A30585You wil say, If a man have business in the world, how can this be?
A30585You wil say, Must it be received in a Communion of Saints?
A30585You will say, Are we bound to spend some time every time we go to prayer beforehand, or every time we come to the Word?
A30585You will say, Can any thing that is good come from the Devil?
A30585You will say, Can not we sit at home and reade a Sermon?
A30585You will say, God forbid: Have not I prayed, and heard the Word much, and received the Communion often, and yet have I never honored God?
A30585You will say, Here is a great deal of do in serving of God, how much is here that we must do?
A30585You will say, If God understand a mans heart, what need he come and confess?
A30585You will say, Must we plow up our hearts before we come to hear?
A30585You will say, Why is not the Word of the Law as nigh one as the Word of the Gospel?
A30585You will say, Why may not any time be said to be holy that I spend in holy duties?
A30585and in hearing the Word; and so likewise for receiving the Sacrament?
A30585and then mark how he doubled it, To me?
A30585and yet what a poor appearance is there of such people at the hearing of the Word?
A30585even unto me?
A30585even unto me?
A30585hath he Body and Blood, and human Nature upon him?
A30585have you actually renewed your covenant with God?
A30585how hath God honored humane Nature?
A30585is not Gods Name prophaned here?
A30585it was from hence, because he was so nigh to God: Would you have your faces to shine in a holy conversation before men?
A30585or what is the behavior of the soul in the sanctifying of Gods Name when it is in the very act of the duty?
A30585shall I give any occasion that this Word of the Lord should be spoken ill of by reason of me?
A30585sometimes there are some things spoken that we can not tell how to beleeve?
A30585that is, the Heathens and those that are in no communion with them, I have nothing to do to judg them; but do not ye judg them that are within?
A30585that you abbuse your body with uncleanness, and drunkenness, and other wickedness afterwards?
A30585the Lord is nigh unto all, to all that call upon him in truth; you will say, What is the meaning of that?
A30585the bread which we break, is it not the Communion of the Body of Christ?
A30585then me thought I could have gone through fire and water for God?
A30585thou hast ability in expressing of thy self in prayer: why, do thy parts commend thee to God?
A30585were the Word true yea, or no?
A30585what can I do?
A30585what do you go for?

A30585what friends would you make to take him off from punishment?
A30585what if I were now going to receive the sentence of my eternal doom; Would I not then beleeve these things?
A30585what if wicked men do come there, will that hinder us from sanctifying Gods Name in partaking of the Sacrament with them?

A62581* Optatus, concerning the Controversy with the Donatists, asks who shall be Judge?
A62581And are not we hugely too blame, if we do not cry up such mighty Conquerors as these are?
A62581And does not his own Objection rebound upon himself?
A62581And here in Europe, hath not a great part of Poland, Hungary, both Germany''s, France, and Switzerland?
A62581And how doth he prove the contrary?
A62581And if it were not for this very doctrine he was there censured, why doth Mr. White set himself purposely to defend it in his Tabulae suffragiales?
A62581And if the greater part of Christians may fall off from Tradition, what Demonstration can make it impossible for the lesser to do so?
A62581And if this principle were true, why have we not as true an account of the eldest ages of the world, as of any other?
A62581And if we can not be so satisfi''d, where''s the certainty of Oral Tradition?
A62581And in what Age was this done?
A62581And is it not as impossible in the Church of England?
A62581And is it not strange he should expect any particular proofs of so innocent and necessary a thing to the being of a Church?
A62581And is not this argued like a Demonstrator?
A62581And what can this be else but to make new articles of faith?
A62581And what shall hinder the People from embracing those Corruptions?
A62581And where delivered?
A62581And why should it be more necessary for us to know this, than for them?
A62581And why then were any matters of fact and points of faith inserted in the Books of the New Testament?
A62581And yet we see even then the doctrine of Christ was mistaken; and is it such a wonder it should be in succeeding ages?
A62581Are not these fair Concessions, which the evidence and force of Truth have extorted from these Authors?
A62581Are there no passages in Books so plain, that a man may be sufficiently satisfied that this and no other is the certain sense of them?
A62581Are those bare probabilities which leave no suspition of doubt behind them?
A62581Baronius* speaks more particularly, What was then the face of the Roman Church?
A62581But are not Commentators, both Protestant and Popish, generally agreed about the sense of Scripture in that Point?
A62581But doth Mr. S. find any thing to this purpose in the Apologies of the Fathers?
A62581But he thereby notes the unconsonancy of my carriage, Wherein I wonder?
A62581But how do the Church of Rome know that they have perfectly true copies of the Scriptures, in the Original Languages?
A62581But how much to the contrary is there very obvious in the proceedings of it?
A62581But if Mr. S. will not believe me in saying thus, what reason have I to believe him in saying otherwise?
A62581But if he can not do this, why does he make that an Argument against our Rule, which is as strong against his own?
A62581But if tradition be so infallible, why have we not the ancient story of Britain as exact as the modern?
A62581But is the present Pope with Mr. S. a private opinator, or was the last a meer schoolman?
A62581But is this any peculiar Consectary from the truth of this Proposition?
A62581But my demands go on, What evidence can you bring to convince me both that the Church always observed this rule, and could never be deceived in it?
A62581But now how will he reconcile this Discourse with the Grounds of his Demonstration?
A62581But suppose we say, That the Articles of the Apostles Creed contain all necessary matters of simple belief, what hath Mr. S. to say against this?
A62581But that I may not think him superficial as well as his way, he puts a profound Question to me, What do I think Controversie is?
A62581But was it any thing but justice and reason in me to expect and call for a demonstration from them who talk of nothing under it?
A62581But what of that?
A62581But who can warrant, That due proposals will always be made to men, and due care used by them?
A62581But who so blind as he that will not see, that the sense of Scripture is as plain in all necessary points of Faith?
A62581But why can we not, by the Scriptures, mean the sense of them?
A62581But why do I say more contentedly?
A62581But why, I wonder, should Mr. S. think, that if I do not allow of oral tradition, I must needs question whether there were any Fathers?
A62581But will he say, the Pope doth not challenge this?
A62581But, saith he, is that which is wholly built on the nature of things superficial?
A62581By what means a compleat history of all passages relating to it may be conveyed?
A62581Can any thing be finer than for a man to say that by Pompey''s success in fighting against Caesar, he means that Caesar had beaten Pompey?
A62581Can he shew by any necessary Argument, that it is naturally impossible that all the Relations concerning that place should be false?
A62581Christs passion, resurrection, and the nature of his Kingdom?
A62581Comes it from the Authority of the Lord, and of the Gospel, or from the Epistles of the Apostles?
A62581Did not Mr. Charles Thynne pretend to have demonstrated that a man at one jump might leap from London to Rome?
A62581Did they not know, that the safety of Christianity did not depend upon this Book?
A62581Do not Thomas, and Scotus( as Mr. White tells us*) all along pretend to demonstrate?
A62581Do not mankind think themselves sufficiently assured of the Antiquity and Authors of several Books, for which they have not Demonstrative evidence?
A62581Do not they differ about the meaning of these Texts among themselves, as much as they do from the Fathers, and from the Protestants?
A62581Do not they pretend and appeal to what they received from their Fore- fathers as well as the Latins?
A62581Do they say, that Religion is capable of strict and rigorous demonstration?
A62581Does he mean of plain Texts, or obscure ones?
A62581Doth not the same follow from every Proposition?
A62581Doth not this Argument extend to the lives of Christians, as well as their Belief?
A62581For I pray Sir, what doth Mr, S. think of the Greek Church?
A62581For do I not mention believing first, and then doing?
A62581For doth Mr. S. hope to perswade men, that tradition is a rule of faith by his Book or not?
A62581For if the assistance be infallible, what matter is it whether the doctrine hath been revealed or no?
A62581For if the degeneracy be in 1665. or any years after, what becomes of M. S''s demonstration then, that no errors could come into the Church?
A62581For it must either acknowledg some Books have been controverted, or not; if not, why doth he make a supposition of controverted Books?
A62581For neither is there a new object of faith; for how can that be, which common sense draws from what is believed already?
A62581For since they resolved their faith into the written Books, how is it possible they should believe on the account of an oral tradition?
A62581For to take his own instance, will any man in his senses say, that he that believes homo est animal rationale, doth not believe homo est animal?
A62581For to what purpose should a man write a Book to prove that which every man must assent to, without any proof, so soon as it is propounded to him?
A62581For what if there was no need of writing this Doctrine, whilst those living Oracles, the Apostles, were present with the Church?
A62581For what is to be said to Testimonies brought at a venture?
A62581For what though the Priest tell me this was the Doctrine of Christ delivered to him?
A62581For who can imagine, but the barbarous Nations were as unwilling to deceive their posterity as any other?
A62581For why should men make any more scruple of damning themselves and their Posterity by teaching them false Doctrines, than by living wicked Lives?
A62581Had not men eyes, and ears, and common sense in Christ and the Apostles times?
A62581Had not those in it eyes, ears, and other senses, as well as in the Latin?
A62581Hath Christ taken care to keep his Church from Error, but not from Vice?
A62581Hath not Mr. White now done his Rule of Faith great service by this Answer?
A62581Have not the Kingdoms of great Brittain, Denmark, Sweden, and a considerable part of Ireland, in Mr. S''s opinion deserted Tradition?
A62581Have those Christian Nations which are turn''d Mahometans and Pagans failed in their Faith or not?
A62581How a Body can be present in a place after the manner of a spirit?
A62581How a matter of fact evident to the world comes to be conveyed to posterity?
A62581How deformed?
A62581How does the living voice of the present Church assure us, that what Books are now received by her were ever received by her?
A62581How the Traditionary Church can be more certain of the true sense of Scripture, than Protestants?
A62581How the Traditionary Church can be more certain of the true sense of Scripture, than the Protestants?
A62581How they can be more certain of the true sense of Tradition, than Protestants of the true sense of Scripture?
A62581How vain is this?
A62581How will Mr. S. reconcile this with his grand Exception against Scripture?
A62581I ask, Do they receive it as ever delivered for such?
A62581I can not enter into Mr. S''s apprehension, how 24 letters by their various disposition can express matters of faith?
A62581I enquire farther, how I shall know what is the certain sense of Scripture so far as it concerns these points?
A62581If for the government of your spiritual life you have as much as for the management of your natural and civil life, what can you expect more?
A62581If it can not, how am I nearer satisfaction in this point, by acknowledging the infallibility of the Church?
A62581If it can not, how can we be satisfied of the certain sense of any Doctrine Orally delivered?
A62581If not, how can men ground their faith upon it?
A62581If oral Tradition have brought down a certain sense of these Texts, why do they not produce it, and agree in it?
A62581If oral Tradition were the more certain way, why was any thing written at all?
A62581If so much be required to free a man from reasonable doubting concerning a Book, how happy are they that have attained to Infallibility?
A62581If so, Whether this be clearer in Scripture, than that Gad hath hands, feet,& c?
A62581If there be none, can any thing be spoken in plainer words than it may be written?
A62581If there were speculators in former ages as well as this, whether did those men believe their own speculations or no?
A62581If these be uncertain, where''s the constancy and unerrableness he talks so much of?
A62581If they may believe this, doth it not necessarily follow, that they are bound to believe whatever they declare to be matter of faith?
A62581In answer to this, Mr. S. wishes, I would tell him first what evidence means, whether a strong fancy, or a demonstration?
A62581In such a degenerate state of a Church, what strength is there in this Principle, Nothing is to be admitted but what descends by Tradition?
A62581In the same Chapter he complains, Who is there that preaches the Gospel to the People?
A62581Is Mr. S. sufficiently assured that there is such a part of the World as America?
A62581Is it greater than the security which these grounds afford?
A62581Is it necessary that the hopes of Heaven, and the fears of Hell should keep Christians constant to the Doctrine of Christ?
A62581Is it not very pretty to see what pitiful shifts men that serve an Hypothesis are put to?
A62581Is it now repugnant to common sense, that this opinion should be believed or entertained in the Church?
A62581Is it possible to believe, that any thing consists of parts, and not believe that that whole is greater than any of those parts?
A62581Is it then possible to know the Churches judgement or not?
A62581Is this any argument that those Texts are not sufficiently plain?
A62581Is this the man who made choice of reason for his weapon?
A62581Is this the victory over me, Mr. S. mentions to be so easie a thing?
A62581Is, What is the next and immediate means whereby the knowledge of Christs Doctrine is conveyed to us?
A62581Let him therefore speak out whether he doth believe any such thing as inherent infallibility in the definitions of Pope and Councils?
A62581Must I believe a very few persons, whom the rest disown as heretical and seditious?
A62581Nay, why were letters invented, and writing ever used, if tradition had been found so infallible?
A62581Now how is this an Argument against those, who by the Scriptures, must mean unsensed letters and characters?
A62581Now if this be a true representation of the state of the Roman Church in those Ages, was not this a very fit time for the Devil to play his Pranks in?
A62581Now is not this a clear evidence that this which he calls a Demonstration a Priori, is no such thing?
A62581Now, who sees not that the force of all this lies not in proving the minor proposition, or that no age could conspire to deceive another?
A62581Of a right perswasion?
A62581Or are these only the opinions and practises of some Schoolmen among them, and not the doctrine and practise of their Church?
A62581Or if any thing more monstrous than that can be imagined, it might then have taken place; for what Weeds would not have grown in so rank a Soyl?
A62581Or is Christianity only fitted to form mens minds to a right belief, but of no efficacy to govern their lives?
A62581Or was the Council of Sardica?
A62581Or where does he see General Councils?
A62581Secondly, He asks*, Is it a Fundamental that Christ is God?
A62581Secondly, Who deny the Millennium; Many Christians, saith Justin; but what Christians?
A62581So that this Question, What is the Rule of Christian faith?
A62581THe Question he propounds to himself to debate, is, What is the Rule of Faith?
A62581That is, does it say there must be a total Apostacy in faith before the year 1664?
A62581That no man is to do any thing but what is wise and vertuous, does secure the generality of mankind from folly and vice?
A62581That nothing but Truth is to be assented to, doth secure men from Error?
A62581That there should be any mistake about the Doctrine of Christ, when there was so much Ignorance?
A62581Then he will ask him farther, Is there not a necessary connexion and relation between a constant Cause, and its formal Effect?
A62581This is no more easily said then understood; for if these be implied in the former, how can there come a new obligation to believe them?
A62581To speak plainer, is it not possible for men to believe the Pope and Council infallible in their decrees?
A62581To these I might add many more; as, How a thing can be said to be changed into another thing which did exist before?
A62581Upon which very triumphantly he concludes, What''s now become of your difficulty?
A62581Was ever a good cause driven to such miserable shifts as these are, especially among those who pretend to wit and learning?
A62581Was it impossible there should be any neglect of this Duty, when all others failed?
A62581Was it not a practical Tradition, and performed in a sensible matter?
A62581Was not every age among them as unwilling to deceive their posterity as elsewhere?
A62581Was not such an Age a fit season to plant the Doctrine of Transubstantiation in?
A62581Was the Council of Lateran a General one?
A62581Was there ever a more knowing and diligent Teacher of this Doctrine than our Saviour?
A62581Well, but Pope and Councils neither define new things, nor ground themselves on them: but what means the man of reason?
A62581Well, but what says this Synod?
A62581Were not their senses, who saw those matters of fact, as uncapable of being deceived as others?
A62581Were not those Catholicks first, who afterwards became Hereticks; and when they became so, did they not differ in points of Belief?
A62581Were they causes of actual will in Christians to believe well, when they lived so ill?
A62581Were they strongly applied, or were they not?
A62581What a stir is made about the sense of Dabo tibi Claves, Tu es Petrus,& super hanc Petram,& c. Pasce oves?
A62581What can hinder men so disposed from corrupting the Doctrine of Christ, and suiting it to their own Lusts and Interests?
A62581What fault I pray hath the Catholick Religion committed, that it must now come to be excused instead of being defended?
A62581What is it these men mean, when they cry up their own way for demonstrative, and say that we build our faith meerly on probabilities?
A62581What is there in all this Demonstration, which may not be accommodated to the Greek Church with as much force and advantage as to the Catholick?
A62581What saith Mr. S. to this?
A62581What then shall we expect in Religion, but to see a main advantage on the one side which we may rest our selves on?
A62581What thinks Mr. S. of all this?
A62581What, did not they know what their Parents taught them?
A62581When therefore we enquire what is the Rule of Christian Faith?
A62581Where I pray in all the proceedings of that Council doth Mr. S. find them define any thing on the account of oral tradition?
A62581Where are the certain Causes of actual Will to adhere to this Doctrine?
A62581Where is then the infallibility of oral Tradition?
A62581Where then is the force of hopes and fears strongly applied?
A62581Where then shall I satisfie my self, what the sense of your Church is, as to this particular?
A62581Where there were different apprehensions in one age of the Church, whether there must not be different traditions in the next?
A62581Where were then the Arguments of Hope and Fear?
A62581Whether persons agreeing in the substance of doctrines may not differ in their apprehensions of the necessity of them?
A62581Whether the same vertue of Tradition would not have been as powerful to bring down other Points in which we do not agree, had any such been?
A62581Whether those things which are capable of being understood when they are spoken, cease to be so when they are written?
A62581Who can tell but all this may be so?
A62581Who is so little versed in History, as not to understand the dismal state of Religion in the Romish Church, in those times?
A62581Who knows how the World may be changed?
A62581Who shews them the way to Salvation either by Word or Action?
A62581Why is not the effect produced, the Causes being put actually causing?
A62581Why not?
A62581Why so?
A62581Why then is the contrary doctrine censured and condemned at Rome?
A62581Why then may not one who after long searching findeth no Infallibility, rest himself on the like, supposing mans nature affords no better?
A62581Will Mr. S. now say, that in the height of these Heresies the generality of Christians did firmly adhere to Tradition?
A62581and Mr. S. would make it?
A62581and can he demonstrate this to any man, without carrying him thither?
A62581and consequently, whether the resolution of faith be barely into oral tradition?
A62581and is it not as necessary that these arguments should prevail upon them to the practice of it?
A62581and what mean their decrees?
A62581and whether the same vertue were not powerful to bring down this as well as those?
A62581but be it in faith, be it universal, does it suppose this degeneracy already past, which is only proper to your purpose, or yet to come?
A62581but he intends, that they deliver no new doctrine: but how must that be tried?
A62581does it evidently speak of faith, or manners; the Vniversal Church, or particular persons?
A62581doth not the Greek Church profess to believe on the account of tradition from the Apostles as well as the Latin?
A62581if it be so, doth it not unavoidably follow, that the faith of men must alter according to the Churches definitions?
A62581if it did, how comes any thing to be de fide which was not before?
A62581if not, to what purpose doth he write?
A62581if not, why may not this opinion be generally received?
A62581or hath Mr. S. gained the opinion of infallibility both from Pope and Councils, that we must believe his bare word?
A62581or is it so hard to find it?
A62581or ought I not rather to take the judgment of the greatest and most approved persons of that Church?
A62581saith he, why, see we not the place?
A62581that not the Scripture, but unmistakeable, indefectible Oral Tradition was the Rule of Faith?
A62581that they make no new definitions: surely not; for then what did they meet for?
A62581the infallibility of a Pope and Council by immediate assistance of the Holy Ghost?
A62581to give us demonstrations for the grounds of faith?
A62581whereas had tradition been so infallible a way of conveying, how could this ever have come into debate among them?

A51294And what think you of Land and Sea, whenas all might have been a Quagmire?
A51294And who knows but a very lucky one?
A51294And who knows but he that is born a natural Fool, if he had had natural Wit, would have become an arrant Knave?
A51294And why do men rule the women, but upon account of more Strength or more Wisedome?
A51294And why not the Sea too, Bathynous?
A51294And why not, Cuphophron?
A51294And will History acquit the civilized World of this piece of Barbarity, Euistor?
A51294And, lastly, what is Lust, but Self- love seeking its own high delight and satisfaction in the use of Venery?
A51294Answer, Cuphophron: why do you gape and stare, and scratch your head where it itches not?
A51294Are then the Opinions of God''s being no- where and of his being every- where alike conducive to Vertue and Piety?
A51294Are there any more Scruples behinde touching Divine Providence, Hylobares?
A51294Are these the same Arguments, Hylobares, that you intended to invade me withall?
A51294Are you not throughly satisfied hitherto, Hylobares?
A51294Besides, why is this to be charged upon Providence, that there are so few?
A51294But I ask you, does not the Rational Soul by the power of its Will move the Body?
A51294But I pray do you tell me, Cuphrophron, what is Rest?
A51294But I pray you tell me, Philotheus, did any of the old Fathers of the Church dream any such Dream as this?
A51294But I pray you, Cuphophron, who is that Hylobares?
A51294But admit the necessity of dying, what necessity or conveniency of the frequentness of Diseases?
A51294But are you sure, Hylobares, that this were the most perfect way that Nature could pitch upon?
A51294But can not you also think of two things at once, O Cuphophron?
A51294But did I not preadvertise you, that no humane Authority has any right of being believed when they propound Contradictions?
A51294But did you not observe, Hylobares, how I removed Sympathy from the Capacity of Matter?
A51294But do Thunderbolts conduce any thing to that, Philotheus?
A51294But dost thou think thus to drown our sense of solid Reason by the rapid stream or torrent of thy turgid Eloquence?
A51294But have you no other Argument for it, Hylobares?
A51294But how can that which is immovable, O Sophron, be the Genus of those things that are movable?
A51294But how do you know, Hylobares, that there is such an infinite number of Earths?
A51294But how does this Truth consort with his Goodness, whenas it declares to us that the World has continued but about these six thousand years?
A51294But how shall we be so well assured of the Existence of a Spirit, while the comprehension of its Nature is taken for desperate?
A51294But how shall we redeem our Imagination from this Captivity into such sordid conceits?
A51294But if he doe not thus, it is a sign his heart is not clean, and therefore why should he grumble that he is punished?
A51294But if it imply no Contradiction, what hinders but we may attribute it to him?
A51294But if there be one Congeries of Divine Atomes that keep together, in which of those infinite numbers of Vortices is it seated, or amongst which?
A51294But in that he has made it much larger and sooner, to what leading Attribute in God is that to be imputed, O Sophron?
A51294But in the mean time why might not Man have been made a pure Intelligence at first?
A51294But is it found Finite, Philotheus?
A51294But is it not very ridiculous in the Virginians, to cut away half of their upper and lower Beards, and leave the other half behind?
A51294But is not the actual describing of a Figure in a mere possible Extensum like sense to the writing of an actual Epistle in a possible sheet of Paper?
A51294But is not this still a great disparagement to the Bride?
A51294But is there not something in the following Verses about Childrens Rattles?
A51294But is there nothing observable touching their Opinions of the other State, in order to which they may undergo these Hardships?
A51294But it seems necessary to attribute it to him: else how can he manage the affairs of the World?
A51294But suppose they be Atheists, how many thousands are there of such kinde of Cattel in the most civilized parts of Europe?
A51294But the painting of their Skins with Serpents and ugly Beasts, as the Virginians are said to doe, how vilely must that needs look?
A51294But to whom were they sacrificed, Cuphophron?
A51294But well, what of all this, Philotheus?
A51294But what are the Quere''s you would propose touching the Kingdome of God, O Philopolis?
A51294But what does this Arrow aim at?
A51294But what have you to gratifie the Ear, Cuphophron?
A51294But what is that to me, if I do not?
A51294But what is there to gratifie the Touch, Cuphophron?
A51294But what is this Story of a Bull to that of the Cow the Brammans speak of?
A51294But what makes you attribute Disunity to Matter rather then firm Union of parts, especially you attributing Self- inactivity thereto?
A51294But what more then ordinary mischief came to the Inhabitants?
A51294But what needs any such supposition, O Sophron?
A51294But what shall we think of the Tartars and Maldives cutting off all their Hair of the upper Lip?
A51294But what shall we think of those Barbarians in whom there never was any thing of the Divine Life, nor any moral possibility of acquiring it?
A51294But what then, Hylobares?
A51294But what think you of the Priest of Calecut, Cuphophron?
A51294But what think you of the whole Body, Hylobares?
A51294But what use, could you make of the Silver Key, when that Divine Personage explained nothing of it to you?
A51294But when a Phancy is once engrafted in the Minde, how shall one get it out?
A51294But where find you any such examples in the West- Indies, Euistor?
A51294But where is then the Soul?
A51294But who knows but that there may be some usefulness of it, as in the Amazons cutting off their right Breasts, the better to draw their Bow and Arrow?
A51294But whose description of a Spirit is this, Hylobares?
A51294But why do you then attribute such a Prescience to God as is involved in such dangerous Inconveniences?
A51294But why do you think so, Hylobares?
A51294But why of folly?
A51294But why take you this to be the lesser Difficulty, Philotheus?
A51294But ▪ what instances have you of the over- severe method, Euistor?
A51294But, I pray you, where did he receive these Keys, Philotheus?
A51294Can any Religion be more horrid or blasphemous then this?
A51294Can any ● hing ● eem more barbarous then this?
A51294Can there be any thing possibly parallel to this, Cuphophron, amongst our Civilized Europaeans?
A51294Can you be surrounded by all this, and yet be no- where?
A51294Can you then miss of the true Notion of a Spirit?
A51294Cuphophron''s: how will you rescue me, Hylobares?
A51294Did not I tell you so, Philopolis?
A51294Did not I tell you so, Philotheus?
A51294Did not he begin thus, O Sophron?
A51294Did you not say even now, that what- ever has no Extension or Amplitude is nothing?
A51294Do not you observe, Euistor, how studiously Hylobares has play''d the Piper all this time?
A51294Do they talk or discourse with one another?
A51294Do you not hear the pleasant Notes of the Birds both in the Garden and on the Bowre?
A51294Do you not see, Sophron, that you are worse s ● ar''d then hurt?
A51294Do you not yet see, Hylobares, how weak an Assertion that of Des- Carte ● is, That Extension and Matter are reciprocall?
A51294Do you or any else either here or under the Line at mid- day or mid- night feel any such mighty Pressure as this Hypothesis inferrs?
A51294Does not that Line from the top of the Axis to the Peripherie of the Basis necessarily describe a Conicum in one Circumvolution?
A51294Does not this occurr often enough in History, Euistor?
A51294Does not this, O Sophron, subvert utterly all the belief of Providence in the world?
A51294Else how could any creatures live in the Air or Water?
A51294Every man can doe that that can compare two things or two Idea''s one with the other: For if he do not think of them at once, how can he compare them?
A51294For do not these discover some malignancy in the Principles of the World, inconsistent with so lovely and benign an Authour as we seek after?
A51294For how can an extended Substance be indivisible or indiscerpible?
A51294For how can that which is some- where, as Matter and Motion are, reach that which is no- where?
A51294For how can the Wicked escape Punishment, when Wickedness it self is one of the greatest Penalties?
A51294For how do you know but all that which you phansie behinde, had been too much to receive at once?
A51294For if it be real, what will not they be able to undergoe?
A51294For if she cast her eye upon them, why does she not either reform them, or confound them and destroy them?
A51294For what can give any stop to this but God''s Iustice, which is a branch or mode of his Goodness?
A51294For what has God given us severall Faculties for, but to employ them to the emprovement of our own good?
A51294For what is Wrath, but Self- love edged and strengthned for the fending off the assaults of evil?
A51294For why does not that invisible Power that invigilates over all things prevent such sad Accidents?
A51294For why should blind Necessity doe more in this kind then fluctuating Chance?
A51294For why should mankinde complain of this Decree of God and Nature, which is so necessary and just?
A51294For, as I was intimating before, which of these two is the more deplorable state, to be a Fool by Fate or upon choice?
A51294Had not you better resume your Province, Hylobares, and assault him your self?
A51294Have I so?
A51294He that beholds all from an high Knows better what to doe then I. I''m not mine own: should I repine If he dispose of what''s not mine?
A51294How becomingly does Philopolis exercise his office, and seasonably commit the Opponent with the Respondent, like a long- practised Moderatour?
A51294How came then the Americans not to lay hold on this opportunity?
A51294How can it then be that particular possible Extensum which the Cylinder is actually?
A51294How can they come at it, or it at them?
A51294How could an arm of mere Air or Aether pull at another man''s hand or arm, but it would easily part in the pulling?
A51294How do you know but that it is as good for the Universe, computing all respects, if it be not better?
A51294How does that appear, Philotheus?
A51294How long of us, Philotheus?
A51294How madly does Cuphophron''s phancy rove?
A51294How merrily- conceited is Cuphophron, that can thus play with a Feather?
A51294How sublimely witty is Euistor with one single Glass?
A51294How then can this power be exerted on the Body to move it, unless the Soul be essentially present to the Body to exert it upon it?
A51294How then comes it to pass that you, being of so Philosophicall a Genius, should miss of the Pre- existence of the Soul?
A51294How therefore can they hold together?
A51294How vastly distant then are those little fix''d Stars that shew but as scattered Pin- dust in a frosty night?
A51294How would their Faith be tried, if all things here below had been carried on in Peace and Righteousness and in the Fear of God?
A51294How, Philotheus?
A51294I appeal to your own sense, Hylobares, would that look handsomely?
A51294I pray you deal freely and ingenuously, Hylobares, are you really more pinched then before?
A51294I pray you what Story is that, Euistor?
A51294I pray you what is it that pleases you so much, Philotheus?
A51294I pray you what is it, Philotheus?
A51294I pray you what is that, Sophron?
A51294I pray you what may be the reason of it?
A51294I pray you whose Lines are they, Hylobares?
A51294I pray you, Bathynous, what kind of Dream was it?
A51294I pray you, Cuphophron, is Philotheus and the rest of his Company come?
A51294I pray you, what is that Scruple, Hylobares?
A51294I pray you, what think you of that, Cuphophron?
A51294I pray, what are those, Hylobares?
A51294I prithee, Euistor, what is it?
A51294In the name of God, what do you mean, Hylobares, to answer so phantastically in so serious a cause?
A51294In this last Point, Hylobares?
A51294In what Extensum therefore is ● ● scribed?
A51294In what capacity of Salvation were they then, O Sophron, for some thousands of years together, who yet are certainly of a lapsed race?
A51294In what immense removes are they one beyond another?
A51294In what therefore does the one describe, suppose, a circular Line, the other a Conicum?
A51294In what, Hylobares?
A51294Is it not better being in this cool Arbour?
A51294Is it not infinitely incredible, Philotheus, if not impossible, that some thousands of Spirits may dance or march on a Needle''s point at once?
A51294Is it not necessary that that part of the representation you made of Eternity be either a Perfection, or an Imperfection, or a thing of Indifferency?
A51294Is it not so, Eui ● ● or?
A51294Is it not the perfection of Knowledge to know things as they are in their own nature?
A51294Is it the Authority of the Catholick Church?
A51294Is it then united to the inside of the Body, Cuphophron, or to the outside?
A51294Is not that Bravery which Americus Vesputius records in his Voiage to the New- found- world very ghastly tragicall?
A51294Is not their Soul mere Mechanicall motion, according to that admirable Philosopher?
A51294Is not this something inhospitall for us all to fall upon Cuphophron thus in his own Arbour at once?
A51294Is then the power of moving the Body thus by her Will in the Soul, or out of the Soul?
A51294Is this the utmost of your Difficulty, Hylobares?
A51294Is this your Sagacity or deep Melancholy, Bathynous, that makes you surmize such Plots against the Deity?
A51294Is your Scepticism in this point so powerfull as still to be able to bear up against them?
A51294It must be acknowledged; what then?
A51294Leave we nothing to our selves, Save a Voice; what need we else?
A51294Matter in potentia?
A51294Must not then some diviner Principle be at the bottom, that thus cancells the Mechanicall Laws for the common good?
A51294Of the Bridegroom his not lying with his own Bride the first night, but some other of the like quality?
A51294Or can you compare your distinct Selfship with this immense compass, and yet not conceive your self surrounded?
A51294Or thus, Cuphophron, Does not the So ● l move the Body?
A51294Or thus: If this multitude of Divine Atoms be God, be they interspersed amongst all the matter of the World?
A51294Or what more outrageous specimen of Madness, then the killing and slaying for the Non- belief of such things?
A51294Shame take you, Hylobares, have you hit on that piece of Waggery once again?
A51294Si tibi non annis corpus jam marcet?
A51294Spectatum admissi risum teneatis, ami ● i?
A51294Tell me therefore, Hylobares, why do you think that the World was not created till about six thousand years agoe?
A51294That God is so the Essence and Substance of all things, that they are but as dependent Accidents of him?
A51294That is not much strained, C ● phophron; but what then?
A51294That it is better for them is plain according to the opinion of all Metaphysicians: but how is it better for the Universe, Philotheus?
A51294That''s a Paradox indeed: why so, I pray you, Hylobares?
A51294That''s a very odd thing of the men of Arcladam, Euistor: I pray you, what is it?
A51294The contrivance of the Earth into Hills and Springs and Rivers, into Quarries of Stone and Metall: is not all this for the best?
A51294There''s a reason indeed, Hylobares; how can it then be the real Rendezvous of separate Souls?
A51294They having therefore no specifick cognation with the Sons of Adam, what have they to doe with that Religion that the Sons of Adam are saved by?
A51294This first was by far the more difficult Probleme of the two, and how easily has he solved it?
A51294This is the very Philosophy of the Apostle, O Philotheus, What fruit have ye then of those things whereof ye are now ashamed?
A51294This is very judiciously advertised of Bathynous, is it not, Hylobares?
A51294WHat tall Instrument is this, O Cuphophron, that you have got thus unexpectedly into your Arbour?
A51294Was it a delusion of my sight?
A51294Was there not a first six thousand years of Duration from the beginning of the World, supposing it began so timely as you have described?
A51294What Envy, but Self- love grieved at the sense of its own Want, discovered and aggravated by the fulness of another''s enjoyment?
A51294What Mysterious conceits has Bathynous of what can be but a mere Vacuum at best?
A51294What Verses do you mean, Euistor?
A51294What a chearfull thing the apprehension of Truth is, that it makes Hylobares so pleasant and so witty?
A51294What a youthfull conceit has your Phancy slipt into, O Cuphophron?
A51294What are those Scruples, Hylobares?
A51294What do you mean by Capacity, Cuphophron?
A51294What do you mean?
A51294What do you understand by Self- activity in a Spirit, Hylobares?
A51294What had the Godly whereupon to employ their Wit and Abilities, if they had no enemies to grapple with?
A51294What if I should say it is onely spatium imaginarium, Hylobares?
A51294What is it that he says, Euistor?
A51294What is it that pinches you there, Hylobares?
A51294What is it then, dear Cuphophron?
A51294What is it?
A51294What is that, Hylobares?
A51294What makes the Schools then so earnest in obtruding upon us the belief, that nothing but nunc permanens is competible to the Divine Existence?
A51294What more phrantick then the figment of Transubstantiation, and of infallible Lust, Ambition, and Covetousness?
A51294What moves the Bodies of Brutes, Hylobares?
A51294What say you now, Hylobares, to Philotheus his assoiling these your last and most puzzling and confounding Difficulties about natural Evils?
A51294What say you to this, Philotheus?
A51294What then, Philotheus?
A51294What then?
A51294What therefore could Providence doe better, then to make their Species immortal by a continued Propagation and Succession?
A51294What think you of the Roman Pontif?
A51294What think you of these Instances, O Sophron?
A51294What think you of this, Cuphophron?
A51294What think you, Gentlemen?
A51294What think you, Hylobares?
A51294What wisedome is that which flows out of the Divine Life, O Bathynous?
A51294What would become of those enravishing Vertues of Humility, Meekness, Patience and Forbearance, if there were no Injuries amongst men?
A51294What would he infer from all this?
A51294What''s Plague and Prison, loss of Friends, War, Dearth, and Death that all things ends?
A51294What''s that, Euistor?
A51294What''s that, Euistor?
A51294What''s that, Euistor?
A51294What''s that, Hylobares?
A51294What''s that, Hylobares?
A51294What''s that?
A51294What''s the matter with Hylobares, that he raps out Greek in this unusual manner?
A51294What, do you mean to make us all Horses, to whistle us while we are a- drinking?
A51294What, do you think any harder or greater, O Sophron, then are comprised in those elegant, though impious, Verses of Lucretius?
A51294What, has all my expectation then vanished into a Dream?
A51294What?
A51294Where should it be else?
A51294Where''s now the Objects of thy Fears, Needless Sighs and fruitless Tears?
A51294Wherefore why should it be expected that Divine Providence should forthwith take vengeance of the Executioners of his own Justice?
A51294Whether do you think, O Hylobares, that this Privilege, as you call it, is really a Privilege, that is, a Perfection, of the Divine Nature, or no?
A51294Which if it were true, what great charge could be laid against Nature for making so admirable and usefull a Fabrick?
A51294Who can believe men upon their own Authority that are once deprehended in so gross and impious an Imposture?
A51294Who can imagine to the contrary?
A51294Who knows but that they may understand that mystically, as the Persians expound like passages in Mahomet''s Alcoran?
A51294Who knows, Euistor, but most of these men were Voluntiers, and had a minde to serve the Great Cham in the other World?
A51294Why do you smile, Philotheus?
A51294Why may we not then adde that which follows in Homer, — 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉?
A51294Why not, Philotheus?
A51294Why not?
A51294Why of wit and folly, Bathynous?
A51294Why should he so, Hyloares, sith the Creation of this middle Order makes the numbers of the pure Intellectual Orders never the fewer?
A51294Why so, Cuphophron?
A51294Why so, Philotheus?
A51294Why so, Philotheus?
A51294Why so, Philotheus?
A51294Why so, Philotheus?
A51294Why, Hylobares, what conceit have you of a Spirit, that you should think it a thing impossible?
A51294Why, I prithee, Cuphophron, how many hours, or rather minutes, is it since that confusion first surprized thee?
A51294Why, Philotheus?
A51294Why, are there just Two?
A51294Why, did not your self call this Dream of Bathynous a Divine Dream, before I came to make this important use of it?
A51294Why, do you think, Bathynous, that Pythagoras or Plato ever travelled into America?
A51294Why, what remains of Difficulty, Hylobares, either touching the Natural or Moral Evils in the World?
A51294Why, what strange thing is that which follows, Euistor?
A51294Why, what''s the matter, Cuphophron?
A51294Why?
A51294Why?
A51294Why?
A51294Why?
A51294Why?
A51294Why?
A51294Will you please to make a step up into the Garden?
A51294Wit and Phancy whether wilt thou goe?
A51294You abound in all manner of Civilities, Cuphophron: But do not you play on this Instrument your self?
A51294a Silver- one?
A51294and who can tell just how many there ought to be of any of those Orders; or why there must be just so many Orders of Apes or Satyrs, and no more?
A51294and yet how luckily had he hit, if he had but made use of the usual name Papa?
A51294but what do you mean, O Philotheus, by ● ● ● finactivity?
A51294can not the Omnipotence of God himself discerp a Spirit, if he has a minde to it?
A51294did not the bare Deity, as you called it, step out then into externall Action?
A51294has not Cuphophron made a very rapturous Harangue?
A51294have we any thing, Cuphophron?
A51294is it not?
A51294or did there a Star shoot obliquely as I put my head out of the Arbour?
A51294or do they keep together?
A51294or how again do these Atomes, though not interspersed, communicate Notions one with another for one Design?
A51294or how can it order the matter of those Vortices from which it is so far distant?
A51294or how can they be said to be prosperous, who have nothing succeed according to their own scope and meaning?
A51294or is it a counterfeit complaint and a piece of sportfull Drollery with Cuphophron?
A51294or what can be the motion of blind Necessity but peremptory and perpetual Fluctuation?
A51294or what do they doe?
A51294or what is it?
A51294or what will become of Memorie?
A51294quid mortem congemis ac fles?
A51294was there ever a more unfortunate Mis- hap then this?
A51294what Dungeon more noisome, horrid or dismall, then their suspicious Ignorance, and oppressing loads of surprising Grief and Melancholy?
A51294what can Mechanicall motion doe, if not produce that simple Phaenomenon of Liquidity?
A51294what is the Principle of their Union?
A51294what is the greates ● horrour that surprises you in this Custome, Euistor?
A51294what rare work could I make of it?
A51294what then strangling Cares, then the severe Sentences of their own prejudging Fears?
A51294where does Cartesius fail, O Philotheus?
A399325. seeing they knew as well as he, the miracle which the God of Israel had wrought upon him?
A39932A man had need run to and fro to seek them; and if any should ask me, Where such dwell?
A39932ANd why do many betake themselves to do somewhat for making their peace( as they pretend) with God?
A39932All the question is, and must be, Whether the way we take, be such, as hath a tendency towards Heaven?
A39932And are not the wayes of God, the things you abhorr, and can not abide?
A39932And can they complain, they have not light to see their way ● o Heaven?
A39932And did not the Gibeonites the same?
A39932And do not all Nations, at this day, hear the report of our Lord Jesus Christ?
A39932And do not the Turks and Heathen now the same, or the like?
A39932And do not they in these Prayers acknowledge, that whatever their endeavours are, the end and event of all is from God only?
A39932And for the Counsels of God, in disposing of his Creatures according to his pleasure, what reasonable man can question them?
A39932And have we not all of us a conscience to accuse and excuse, to encourage us in that which is good, and affright us from all that is evil?
A39932And here I may, upon this occasion, take up a complaint, and say, Who, or where is he, that will bear a seasonable reproof, when it is given him?
A39932And how comes it to pass, that they have so much respect for those holy men, whose lives and conversations they never care to follow?
A39932And how did God harden Pharaoh?
A39932And how doth he wrong it?
A39932And how much less absurdity is there, in exhorting those, in whom the spirit is willing, though the flesh is weak?
A39932And how should God will mens repentance, otherwise than he doth?
A39932And how unreasonable are men in this?
A39932And how was that?
A39932And how, without any teaching or prompting, they learn to do vainly and wickedly?
A39932And if so, Why( I pray) may not God glorifie himself in the one, as well as in the other?
A39932And if you read on, it is to be seen in the next words, Why?
A39932And indeed, how should they?
A39932And is not this enough to clear God, and condemn the unbelieving world?
A39932And is there not a spice of this in all the children of men?
A39932And is there not also a goodness of God in his providential dispensations, that leads men to repentance?
A39932And let it be observ''d, what that Text hath in terminis: How can ye that are accustomed,& c. Or, Ye that have learnt, and are instructed?
A39932And may I not then say, Men may be saved, if they will?
A39932And may not God stop their mouths by saying, What is it to you, whether it would have serv''d your turn or no?
A39932And may not the Queen of Sheba be ● n instance to the same purpose?
A39932And not to be tedious in I ● ● stances, How many Sects were there in Chris ● time, and before?
A39932And now what can they say in reason, to be a sufficient excuse?
A39932And shall their Faith save them?
A39932And that he sent his Son into the World, to condemn the World, and not that the World through him might be saved?
A39932And then where lyes the fault?
A39932And then, how can any of us look on our selves, as more excusable than they?
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 thereupon ask, Why should it seem incredible, that one who had his beeing from none, but of himself, should make all things out of nothing?
A39932And to instance only in one, Did ever man command and controll the Devil, as he did, and that only in his own name and power?
A39932And was it not so with others afterwards?
A39932And what can they answer, if they be ask''d, Why do you not then trace their footsteps?
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?
A6966411, 12, 13,& c. To what purpose is the Multitude of your Sacrifices to me?
A69664Again, Let me ask you, Who made you a Judg?
A69664Again; How foolishly hast thou acted, and contradicted thy self, in providing carefully a vast Estate for a Swine to wallow in?
A69664Again; What powerful Sollicitations do we meet with from the Enticements of Men?
A69664Again; if there be good which yet appears?
A69664And are not these three the great Incendiaries of the World, and the Troublers of our Peace, both within and without?
A69664And are there not many ruin''d by Law- Suits?
A69664And because we know our Duty better than others, is it not to be expected that we should do it better and more exactly than they?
A69664And by the way, Is not this the likeliest course to secure thy Estate?
A69664And do we, or can we act only about our selves?
A69664And doth he give them Commission?
A69664And he that sees all this, how well is he instructed in the Principles of the Kingdom of Heaven?
A69664And how accurately well doth it bound and moderate those Desires, which, when they are irregular, are the Causes of so great Disquiet?
A69664And how careful hast thou been of thy young Dogs, that they be made; and of thy Horses, that that they be managed?
A69664And how common is it with us, to cut off a part, to save the whole?
A69664And how doth this open a door to Error and evil Practice, by deposing Reason, and casting off Nature?
A69664And how easily and quickly are they decided by the Parties themselves?
A69664And how exact must he be, that will neither exceed nor be deficient?
A69664And how hard is it to prevent all these things?
A69664And how impotent and unable is he to do the good Offices which he may have some desire to do?
A69664And how is the Righteous God pleased to reward this Practice?
A69664And how many have sold their Lands, to make their Mistresses fine?
A69664And how often is the good Way called the Way of Understanding?
A69664And how perfectly doth this Principle subdue and regulate all the Appetites of corporeal Pleasure?
A69664And how quietly did he behave himself?
A69664And how restless when he hath it, for fear of a Re ● aliation?
A69664And how severely is the very neglect of it censured and punished?
A69664And how sweet, how welcome is it to him when it comes?
A69664And how then shall he understand the Will of God?
A69664And how unfit is he to judg according to the Laws, who himself hath not the same design with them?
A69664And how wise, and good, and happy is he that understands the Season of every thing, and neglects it not?
A69664And if he be desirous of Revenge, how fearful is he to take it?
A69664And if it be so in all things else, why should it not hold in the matter before us?
A69664And if it be, why will you do thus?
A69664And if thou canst not stand before thine own Conscience, how wilt thou appear before the Tribunal of the Great God?
A69664And if we can not be Christians, if we can not be happy whilst they prevail in us, why do we suffer them?
A69664And in after- Ages, when their Title shall be examined, where will the Records be found by which it shall be cleared?
A69664And in all our Observations, have we met with a Man, who has been set upon it to live well, that in time has not done so?
A69664And is not that a great Mind which embraces the World in its Arms, and takes the Universe into its Bosom?
A69664And is not this the plain and sure Way to Riches?
A69664And may not the Soul neglect, and so damage, and at last destroy it self, whilst it is so much taken up with other Objects?
A69664And of that little time, how much is taken for the maintenance of it?
A69664And on the other hand have you observed those who have not been instructed and discipim''d in their first Age, to have become faisiously good Men?
A69664And then how exceedingly doth Christianity ennoble us?
A69664And then, how happy must they needs be, who live in a Society where the Laws of God are so carefully observed?
A69664And therefore how must they through Fear of Death, be all their Life- time subject to Bondage?
A69664And they likewise will propagate the Good to others, and who knows where it will end?
A69664And to how little purpose do I converse with that Man, whom I can not think he means as he speaks?
A69664And what a publick Benefit would it be, if the Men of all Countries were by kind and friendly Treatment invited into all Countries?
A69664And what a thing is this to be said by God to Man, I would have helped thee, and thou wouldst not be helped?
A69664And what shall we think of those that starve the better and higher Life?
A69664And when we are sit for Action, vacant for doing Good, how are our Hands held by things falling cross to us?
A69664And whence are all these Quarrels?
A69664And where is he to be found that has made this his Enquiry, What is the Will of God?
A69664And who knows how far the Influence of one poor Man''s Goodness may reach?
A69664And who knows not how many have been undone by Gaming?
A69664And why all this?
A69664And why was all this Care taken?
A69664And why will Men defer this till many Years of Life be spent?
A69664And will all this be done without great Care, without great Attention and Intention of Mind?
A69664And yet how impatient till it be had?
A69664And ● hy will you meddle with that which concerns you not?
A69664Are not we all the Children of one Father, the Disciples of one Master, the Servants of one Lord?
A69664Are they not Men that neglect their own Business?
A69664Are they not the Idle?
A69664Are we not Brethren?
A69664Are we not Fellow- Scholars of one and the same Master?
A69664Besides, who can tell how many Temptations, and Snares, and Mischiefs he has brought himself into, by refusing to comply with so fair an Offer?
A69664Besides; What a disparagement is this to Religion?
A69664But have they no Power in determining?
A69664But how is this Life to be attained?
A69664But how unbecoming and ugly, how vain and ineffectual is it, to use Things to other purposes than those they are fitted for?
A69664But if it be enquired what in particular the Apostle moant the Ephesians should do, vvhen he bids them to Redeem the Time?
A69664But in the Christian Institution, how are all probable Pretences of Innovating cut off?
A69664But is it natural also to do Good to others, to Men?
A69664But is it thus with the idle Man?
A69664But is there no difference to be made?
A69664But is this such an Advantage?
A69664But may not this Candle of the Lord waste it self?
A69664But need we go to Histories and past Times, for proof of the evil Effects of Desire?
A69664But what is that which we are to do?
A69664But what is this of which so great things are spoken?
A69664But what mean those Pretenders that they thus take upon them?
A69664But who knows how long this Ignorance may continue?
A69664But why then do you not endeavour that it may be thus with them?
A69664But will they do it indeed?
A69664By this means, how does the Oppressed rejoice, and the heart of the Poor sing?
A69664Can a Man be good to himself singly, and not to Society?
A69664Can we destroy what we do not understand?
A69664Can we have so little esteem of the Work of God?
A69664Can we love our selves, and not love our own Picture, that is so very like us?
A69664Did Busy- bodies suffer in those days?
A69664Did Christ die for him, that he might live for ever?
A69664Do not their holy Prophets every where recommended unto them Charity and Beneficence?
A69664Do we not ordinarily find the Poor as good as the Rich, and the Servant as wise as his Master?
A69664Do we value our Religion, and have no more regard to the Professors of it?
A69664Does any one come to great Skill in his Profession and Trade, to which he has not been bound Apprentice in his younger Years?
A69664Does not Nature teach these Lessons plainly to every one that diligently considers?
A69664Does thy Life shew it?
A69664Doth he first give us a faculty, and then forbid us to use it?
A69664Doth he thus requite his Love, his great Kindness?
A69664Doth it instruct us unto Apathy?
A69664Doth our Religion teach us to maim our Natures?
A69664Either we deserved to be opposed in this Interest, or we did not: If we did, why do we complain?
A69664For what Man is he, who sees not how short his Life is?
A69664For who will be an Enemy to him, that is an Enemy to no Man?
A69664For, what Man is he that can pretend to know the Will of another Man?
A69664For, who can set themselves without reluctance against him, who hath none other Design but to do Good to All?
A69664Had our Lord so very little, and shall we grasp at all?
A69664Had you but watched us at first, and been careful to engage us to Goodness, we had lived good Lives on Earth, and now have been happy in Heaven?
A69664Has God made you a Censor of the Manners and Ways of your Brethren?
A69664Have the trifling busy Medlers ever been known to gain a Reputation?
A69664Have we not hurt and mischief''d, both our selves, and our Brethren, when we might so easily have done good?
A69664Have you done your own Business?
A69664Have you not known in your Time many who have been carefully educated, vvho have risen from a mean low Condition to a most excellent Estate?
A69664Have you observed many of those that mind their Business, fall into Want?
A69664Have you so discharged your Office, your Trust?
A69664He hath shewed thee, O Man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of thee?
A69664How apt is he to give it over?
A69664How are they exposed by the Descriptions that are given of them?
A69664How are we 〈 ◊ 〉 to be deceived, and think this part of 〈 ◊ 〉 our whole, or at least our best selves?
A69664How base and ungrateful is Man, to oppose the Interest of God, who has done him so much Good?
A69664How can I relieve my poor Brother with an Alms, if I my self be poor, and have it not?
A69664How can he make Laws, that intends not the Good of all them that are Subjects, since this is essential to a Law, that it aim at the Publick Good?
A69664How careful and exact must he be in his Actions, who would keep himself in this fitness, to do all the good that offers it self to him?
A69664How careful is every Man to do his own?
A69664How did this procure Acceptance for those Offerings?
A69664How difficult is it to say, Thus far I may, and shall he angry, and beyond this I will not go; and to keep to this Resolution?
A69664How do they, by specious false Reasonings, and many great Examples, seduce 〈 ◊ 〉 out of the Way of Holiness?
A69664How easily is he diverted from beginning this Work?
A69664How every where doth so far this in the Romish Church, even in those that should have been Examples of good Works?
A69664How few that have wanted it, have ever come to any thing?
A69664How frequent is it for Men very well to understand what is to be done, and yet not to do it?
A69664How frequently interrupted in it?
A69664How gladly doth he pardon Injuries, and receive a repenting Enemy into his Bosom?
A69664How is Nourishment conveyed from one to another through the whole Body?
A69664How is it that we can not be content with Food and Raiment,( when by a harmless diligence we can obtain no more) when our Saviour was?
A69664How justly is that suspected for a Cheat, where to the belief of its Articles, and practice of its Duties, Men must be Unreasonable and Unnatural?
A69664How little have we studied our own Quiet?
A69664How many Men have eat and drunk up great Estates?
A69664How many are there that by their Ignorance of this intend well, but do ill to Men?
A69664How many are there, who should turn their Accusation of the Times against themselves?
A69664How many are those who call Good Evil, and Evil Good?
A69664How many such base Sons as these is our Mother discredited with?
A69664How many who think that to be their Perfection, which is most opposite to it?
A69664How much better than either the Gentile or the Jewish?
A69664How much commended?
A69664How much more must it be so here, where the Laws have such an immediate and direct tendency, to make those that observe them perfect and happy?
A69664How must they be delighted to feel themselves in so good a State, in so healthful a Plight?
A69664How often inculcated?
A69664How pleasant and joyful must the Mind of that Man be, which is govern''d by an universal Love?
A69664How seldom is it that things do so happily conspire into a Season?
A69664How unconceivable is the Delight of Souls, when they are bathing themselves in these Streams?
A69664How will it engage every one to Obedience?
A69664How will they be ravish''d with their own Countenance, when they behold in it this excellent Grace with which Love hath beautified it?
A69664How willing, nay, forward is he to lend to the Borrower?
A69664How would most of the Quarrels in the World cease, if this once obtained?
A69664I will only say this, he that hath the Faith of Christ, what should dismay or disquiet him?
A69664I would have reliev''d thee, but thou regardedst not the Succours which I sent?
A69664If God himself hath not set Bounds to this raging Sea, how shall Man?
A69664If I have no Mind to my Devotions, what will Health, and Leisure, and a Closet, and all the things that invite me to that great Duty, signify?
A69664If any enquire yet more particularly what a perfectly good Life is?
A69664If any one should demand of me for what reason he should do this?
A69664If any shall ask, Where we are to expect those Decreta Factis, those Articles of Faith, and Rules of Life, which he hath given us?
A69664If he has so little Love for himself, as not to do his own Work, who does he think will do it?
A69664If it be no Evil to have Enemies, why do you complain?
A69664If the Presensions of that Misery were so ● rmenting, what will the Misery it self be?
A69664If there be so great Pleasure in loving one or two, or a few, how great is that which arises from an universal Good- will, a Love to all Men?
A69664If therefore it be extended as far as there is any thing that may be an Object of Love, how great must his Delight be?
A69664If they be not, why are we called by their Names?
A69664If thus, whence are those diversities of Names amongst us?
A69664If we be better, shall it not be better for other Men?
A69664If we have, shew it; if not, why do we desire it?
A69664Is he fallen out with himself, or displeased with the works of his own Hands?
A69664Is it our perfection to be like God?
A69664Is not mine own Vineyard neglected, whilst I dress other Mens?
A69664Is not this the Fast that I have chosen, to loose the Bands of Wickedness, to undo the heavy Burdens, and to let the Oppressed go free,& c.?
A69664Is there any hopes that the Evil may be removed from the Life and Mind of the Man, without his Ruine?
A69664Is there not something to be done, which is more my proper Business than this I am about?
A69664Lastly; How little can he do against God?
A69664Nay rather, how is he the Object of every Man''s Care?
A69664Nay, have we not abused, and perverted them?
A69664Nay, how much better are our Laws than our Lives?
A69664Nay, tho they should repent and amend, how uncertain must they be of the Pardon and Favour of God?
A69664Now in the Bible how expresly is Hospitality injoyned?
A69664Now the Sluggard, that neglects his Field, suffers it to be overgrown with Thorns and Briars, what Crop, what Harvest can he expect?
A69664Now then, if this be the Glory of God, shall we not esteem it ours?
A69664Now what greater or better Promises can be made, than those which in the Gospel are given us, to encourage our Obedience?
A69664Now, whence can so universal an Agreement arise, but from Nature it self?
A69664O how pleasant a sight is this, to see Brethren thus united, to see every Man loving every one as his Brother, nay, as himself?
A69664On these and such like Accounts, how easy is it for a Man to go beyond the bounds of any Vertue?
A69664Or have they had so much better Opportunities to get it?
A69664Or have we known one that has made it a by- business, that ever attained to any considerable perfection of Goodness?
A69664Or lastly; Have we any Love to our Saviour?
A69664Or not love one, that is Flesh of our Flesh, and Bone of our Bone?
A69664Or why should he hate him, who is altogether Good, and can do no Evil?
A69664Or, does Religion intend the Good of private Persons, and not of Communities?
A69664Or, hath God extraordinarily conveyed it to them?
A69664Or, how art thou satisfied with thy self, when such Thoughts as these arise in thy Mind?
A69664Or, how can he require this of us, who made it natural to us to desire?
A69664Or, is Christianity a piece of Stoicism?
A69664Or, is it because we think Children uncapable of such Principles?
A69664Or, what other evidence can be hoped for, but a long Possession?
A69664Or, why hast thou been so unwise, as to slip the fittest, if not only Season thou canst ever have, to do him the greatest Good?
A69664Perhaps their Understanding is short of mine,( but perhaps also mine may be short of theirs) shall I not therefore bear with them?
A69664Quae si popula Romano injusté imperanti accidere potuerunt, quid debent putare singuli?
A69664Seest thou, saith Solomon, a Man diligent in his Business?
A69664Some perhaps may here enquire, whether this Precept be universal, and how far it obliges, whether in all Cases, or in some only?
A69664St. Paul was sent to Ananias,& c. Where ever was the Man, that without exercising himself to Godliness, started up excellently good all on the sudden?
A69664Such who spend their Time in doing nothing, let me ask them, Why will they stand all the day idle?
A69664Surely there''s none so role of naturel Affection, as not to desire this?
A69664Tantumnè ab re tua tibi suppetit otii aliena ut cures, eaque quae nihil ad te attinent?
A69664That, may some think, is a hard saying; Doth God oblige us to impossibilities?
A69664The hotter and brighter the Fire burns, is it not the sooner out?
A69664They will be ready to say, Why such Exactness?
A69664This Man of universal Good will, how full of Humanity and Courtesy is he even to Strangers, and those he knows not?
A69664This grand Opposer of Man''s Happiness?
A69664This many times has saved the Life of a Malefactor; How much more will it expiate a small Offence?
A69664This that is called a Mystery, that deserves so great a Name?
A69664Those who seem not to be negligent, I would ask them, What Time they bestow, what Thoughts they lay out on their Children?
A69664Thou hast by thy advice helped to reform him, and will not he take the same course with others that has been used with himself?
A69664To be dragg''d at the Chariot- Wheels of this insulting Conqueror?
A69664To be led Captive by him at his Will?
A69664To be most cruelly tormented for obeying those Laws of Sin and Death which he gave them?
A69664To come nearer: In a Ship, how necessary is it for every Man to mind his Business?
A69664Was it not on this account that Bacchus and Ceres, Minerva and Hercules, and divers others amongst them, were esteemed Gods?
A69664Was not this ever of more account with God than all Burnt- Offerings and Sacrifices?
A69664Was this counted a Crime?
A69664Was this the Design and Business of his Life and Death to do the greatest Good to all Men?
A69664We may as well suppose one who knows not what Port to make, to hoist up his Sails, and make use of the Wind when it blows: Why?
A69664Were they born with more Wisdom than their Brethren?
A69664Were they punished as Malefactors?
A69664What Answer canst thou make to such Questions as these, which thine own Mind will put, if thou givest it leave to think?
A69664What Havock doth it make, whilst the poor envy their rich Neighbours, and they again grind the Faces of the Poor?
A69664What Reason, or shadow of Reason will any Man bring for his Hatred against God?
A69664What a Pattern of Life has he set us?
A69664What a thing is this, that the World, the things about us, should be more forward than Man to bring forth a good Work?
A69664What an Advantage was the Dispersion of Christians to the whole World?
A69664What can be worse than first to execute his malicious Will, and then be punished for so doing?
A69664What could make him at odds with his Maker?
A69664What dost thou more than Heathens or Infidels?
A69664What hearty Civility, and real Kindness doth he express to those that oppose his Interests, nay, that intend him Mischief?
A69664What is it?
A69664What means this Shop of Tools which we have in our Body, if they must never be used?
A69664What shall be done to remove these Evils?
A69664What signifies Wind and Tide to him that is unwilling to take a Voyage?
A69664What will the guilty Offender say to such Questions as this, which his awakened Conscience will put to him?
A69664What will you then answer to your Judges?
A69664What would you say of a Father and Mother, that should expose a new- born Infant in a Wilderness full of Salvage Beasts?
A69664When he first manifested himself to Adam after his disobedience, how sedately does he reason it with him and Eve?
A69664Whence is there such an Inequality, that any should undertake thus the Guidance of others?
A69664Where is your Commission?
A69664Where the Law does not, as the Laws of too many Societies do, intend the and Mischief, if not to the most, yet to very many?
A69664Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow my self before the high God?
A69664Who are the Picklocks of, and Pryers into other Mens Secrets, the Observers of others, the Story- tellers, the Makebates?
A69664Who are they that sit in Judgment on every Man?
A69664Who call their Governours to account?
A69664Who can say, Thus far it goes, and no farther; thus much a Man may eat or drink, but not a jot more?
A69664Who could have believed, that they who pretended to such as honourable Esteem of the Dead, should have so little Affection for the Living?
A69664Who gravely blame their Councils, and censure them for impolitick or unjust Administration?
A69664Who will, who can harm you, if you be doers of that which is Good?
A69664Why as we have Opportunity?
A69664Why do ye not sow 〈 … 〉 of Wisdom and Goodness in this 〈 … 〉 when it is first broke?
A69664Why hast thou been so unnatural, as not to desire and endeavour thy Child''s best State?
A69664Why have we need of more than he had?
A69664Why should Man be angry with God?
A69664Why should any of these dividing Names be heard amongst us?
A69664Why should they be learning how to live, then when they should be living?
A69664Why will you do so foolish, so vain, so hazardous a thing as this?
A69664Why will you run whither neither Charity nor Wisdom sends you?
A69664Why?
A69664Will not this move us?
A69664Will they decide all our Controversies end our Debates?
A69664Will you condemn that in them, which you allow and practise?
A69664Wilt thou destroy the Righteous with the Wicked?
A69664Would we be esteem''d whilst we live, and paised when we dye?
A69664Would you have your Children come to good?
A69664Would you not call this most unnatural Inhumanity?
A69664Would you see them rich and great, and 〈 ◊ 〉 it said of them, that they were great 〈 … 〉 to the Town and Country 〈 … 〉 they lived?
A69664You are they who are trusted by the Government to entertain: Strangers, and how can you break this Trust?
A69664You care not they should be famous for good and brave Actions; but are you willing they should be infamous Villains, and live and die as Evil- doers?
A69664You do not aspire at their doing much Good; but are you satisfied they should do none, nay, that they should do Evil?
A69664You see the Evil of it in others, why not in your selves?
A69664and shall not we love his Disciple?
A69664and that Man is above all kinds?
A69664and where shall they appear, that have denied the Bread of Life to their own Children?
A69664and why did he so form the Human Understanding, that some Things and Actions are by all thought Good and Evil?
A69664and will not you suffer him to live here?
A69664do more, nor less than what is fit?
A69664does it become us?
A69664have ventured and lost great Estates, by trusting to their own Skill and Fortune?
A69664have we not only not done the Good to which they invited, and assisted, but done the Evil which they hindred?
A69664how dangerous, if he neglect?
A69664how hard is it for him to consider, who has been long accustomed to Inconsideration?
A69664how have we disturbed other Mens?
A69664how may he learn the very Fundamental Laws, whereby God governs the World?
A69664how safe is his Condition?
A69664how short are all these of the Son of God, who is our Example?
A69664is it because Vertue is not difficult?
A69664may he not clearly see, that one kind is advanced above another, as well as of the same kind that some one is above the rest?
A69664nay, how hard is it not to do this?
A69664or at least, how short have they fallen of vvhat others have been, and themselves might have been?
A69664or engage him in a quarrel with his Preserver?
A69664or have you done it so well?
A69664or that Institution and Exercise, the common way of attaining to other things, are not the means of acquiring this?
A69664shall I come before him with Burnt- Offerings,& c.?
A69664that desires Life, and loves Days that he may see Good?
A69664that they do not stay in themselves, but go out to others in Communications and Services?
A69664to cease to be Men?
A69664to give to the Indigent?

A66347But though Holiness or Obedience do not profit us, as to saving Good; may they not bring us some Good or other?
A66347But what then, hath the Redeemer no Promises and Threatnings to rule Men by?
A66347But what''s this to Justification before Faith?
A66347But who can suppose that there''s this, without any dedication of our selves to God?
A66347But, can Christ thus eat his own Flesh?
A66347Can God command Repentanee, under a Promise of Pardon, and yet suppose I must be pardoned before?
A66347Can I be subject to perish and pardoned at once?
A66347Can any Man come to Christ as a Priest, and not rely on his Sacrifice for Pardon to be obtained by him?
A66347Can any Man receive him as a Prophet, and not believe and accept of his Teachings?
A66347Can any Man think, we ought not to plead with Men, and Preach as Christ and his Spirit charge us?
A66347Can any doubt this to be the Grace of the Gospel- Promise?
A66347Can any receive him as a King, that refuseth Subjection to his Government?
A66347Can any unbelieving Wretch pretend to have one Spirit with Christ whiles his Inclinations, Purposes, and Carriage are so contrary?
A66347Can he change his Mind, come to himself, and turn to God whom he had left, alter his Purposes, and reform his Life?
A66347Can that be Dung, which is a Meetness for Glory, an Honour to God, and Credit to Religion?
A66347Can this be reconciled to the scope of the Scriptures, wherein Believers are called to grow up in Christ?
A66347Can this be true of imputed Righteousness?
A66347Can two or three wrested Texts overturn the constant Language of the Scriptures?
A66347Can we be said to make or keep the Covenant which is only God''s absolute Grant?
A66347Cast away from you all your Transgressions, and make you a new Heart, and a new Spirit, for why will you die, O House of Israel?
A66347Compelling to come in?
A66347Crisp and his Followers speak of as Free Grace?
A66347Crisp?
A66347Dare any Man say that all the Jews were Washed, Quickned, Justified?
A66347Did Christ preach at this rate, when on Earth?
A66347Did he never come near God all that while, when God received his Spirit, or rejected his Prayer?
A66347Do I receive it as a Truth, that I do believe?
A66347Do not Divines generally conclude, That if David had not repented of his gross Sins he fell into, he had perished?
A66347Do not say the elect Believer will not fall away: I think the same; but yet is it the less true, that even he shall perish if he fall away?
A66347Do not we prefer our Lusts before him?
A66347Do the Threats annexed to those Calls, exclude all after- Repentance?
A66347Dost thou see this Voice agree with the Word of Grace?
A66347Doth Christ need our services more than our selves?
A66347Doth God quicken a Soul before he wash it?
A66347Doth God, in those Calls, promise Life to nothing below sinless, perfect Obedience?
A66347Doth Sin do a Believer no harm?
A66347Doth he mean, If I be not thus fed on by Men, they shall dye?
A66347Doth it agree to the Proceedings of that Tribunal at that Day, to say, Thou shalt be damned, because thou wert not elected?
A66347Doth it not proceed on the Difference in Mens Carriage and Tempers?
A66347Doth it promise Life to all Men, however vile and impenitent they be?
A66347Doth not God by these Threats contribute to keep him from Apostacy?
A66347Doth not God hide his Face?
A66347Doth the new Birth, or Circumcision of the Heart agree herewith?
A66347Examine your selves, whether you be in the Faith; prove your own selves; know ye not that Christ is in you, except you be Reprobates?
A66347For Answer, let me ask but this Question; Is there any thing in the world of better credit than the Spirit himself?
A66347For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep?
A66347God commands this in all the Calls to Confession, Humiliation,& c. Doth not Paul reprove the Corinthians for neglecting this?
A66347God justifieth the Circumcision by Faith and the Heathen through Faith: Must not Faith be at least present?
A66347Grow in Grace?
A66347Hath not Christ determined the contrary?
A66347Hath not God fixed and secured his own Glory?
A66347He Answers; Do I rest my Heart upon this Truth?
A66347He is said to turn away from his fierce anger: Is it not his Anger against them, which is but for a moment, and to be turned away?
A66347He puts an Objection; How should God know every sin the Believer doth commit, and yet God not remember them?
A66347Here we are to try: What''s our great Enquiry to be about?
A66347How aimable must that be, which is the New Man after God''s Image?
A66347How are they Arguments with the Will, to perswade from our own Advantage?
A66347How can it be acceptable to God, through Christ, if it be Filthiness, and changed into the Nature of our Flesh and Corruption?
A66347How can we apprehend, that God is as well pleased with us, when testifying our Enmity, as our Love?
A66347How could it purifie the Heart?
A66347How do both these appear?
A66347How doth Christ execute the Office of a King?
A66347How doth Christ execute the Office of a Priest?
A66347How doth this follow?
A66347How frequently doth he assert, that our Interest in the Benefits of the Covenant, depends on our answering the Terms of the Gospel?
A66347How inconsistent with Vocation, Regeneration, and Conversion, are Hearts of such vile Disposition?
A66347How is the Grace of God manifested in the Second Covenant?
A66347How is the Grace of God manifested in the second Covenant?
A66347How many more might I instance which represent Christ inglorious, and reflect on the Truth, Wisdom, Holiness and Justice, of his nature?
A66347How much is our Ministry or Concern for Souls debased, if all that we can prevail with are actually pardoned?
A66347How much of the Bible must I transcribe, if I quote all places that prove these?

A66347How oft do we find the Servants of God renew their Prayers for Remission?
A66347How oft is God''s Anger said to be provoked by his People, and kindled against them?

A66347How poor is the number that denies it?
A66347How sad is it to strain and abuse Parables or Metaphors against the Scope of the Gospel, because God condescends to explain some Truths thereby?
A66347How shall I know( saith he) that this Voice is the Voice of the Spirit of God?
A66347How shall we escape, if we neglect so great Salvatian, which at first began to be spoken by the Lord?
A66347How unsuitable is it to the present state of Mankind, that Christ should govern us without Promises and Threatnings?
A66347How was this to be done?
A66347How was this?
A66347If Sin be no harm, why should we pray against it?
A66347If a Man were thrice stung, must not he thrice look to the brazen Serpent for Healing?
A66347If any Sinner believe not, and repent not, hath Christ ever promised to save him?
A66347If her Father had spit in her Face, should she not be ashamed seven days?
A66347If it''s become so innocent in his People, Why doth Christ complain so oft of it?
A66347If so, doth he dispence these blindly and promiseuously, without any regard to our being Believers,& c. or no?
A66347If these things be in you, and abound, they make you that you shall neither be barren nor unfruitfull in the knowledge of Christ?
A66347If things be so, can we think that we preach not the Gospel, when we preach Duties?
A66347If we are as Holy as Christ, what hinders us to be entituled to the same degrees of Glory and Honour as he?
A66347Is Assurance all the motive we can honestly use with Sinners to believe?
A66347Is Christ exalted as King, when all his Commands are made mere Counsels?
A66347Is Peace of Conscience nothing?
A66347Is a lower Faith operative, as I am?
A66347Is inward Rejoycing nothing?
A66347Is it not by the Exercise of Grace and Holiness that we approve our selves to God?
A66347Is it not to Sinners God speaks in them?
A66347Is it not true of all Persons?
A66347Is it not unagreeable to hear a redeemed Sinner say, I am as worthy as he that paid the Ransom?
A66347Is it the Grace of God that overturns the stated Order wherein Grace exerts it self, becoming all the Perfections of God?
A66347Is it the Grace of God, to leave his Precepts without any Sanction, when he removed the Curse of the Law?
A66347Is it the Grace of an holy God, not to esteem a Man filthy by the greatest Abominations, and yet abhorr his own Image in his Saints, as Dung?
A66347Is it the honour of God''s Grace, that all the Graces of the Spirit should be needless to promised Benefits, when he promiseth those Benefits to them?
A66347Is not Unbelief a Bar to have a part in Christ?
A66347Is not that perfect when first justified?
A66347Is not the Conscience oft seared?
A66347Is that Dung, which is so often honoured with the Name of the Spirit it self, and called the Spirit of Love, Prayer?
A66347Is that Dung, which is the effect of Regeneration in the Soul and Actings?
A66347Is that all the change on believing, which such great Expressions import?
A66347Is the one inconsistent with a true Approbation of a Saviour?
A66347Is the one opposite to Christ, and is not the other so?
A66347Is there a Voice behind thee, or within thee, saying particularly to thee in thy self, Thy Sins are forgiven thee?
A66347Is there no displeasure in God against the Elect for Sin?
A66347Is this a Heavenly Calling?
A66347Is this a Threatning, or not?
A66347Is this being Born not of the Will of the Flesh, but of the Will of God?
A66347Is this the Account the Scripture gives?
A66347Is this the Language of God to Sinners since the Fall?
A66347It is not, Whether God will preserve elect Believers from eternal Condemnation, by keeping them from the Dominion of Sin?
A66347It is not, Whether there is in Christ a sufficiency of Merit and Grace to save the worst of Sinners?
A66347It is not: VVhether Faith or Repentance be any part of the Meriting Righteousness for which we are Justified?
A66347It is not: Whether Faith, or any Grace, be a jot of the meriting Righteousness for which we are Justified?
A66347It s a Wound, or we need no Healing; it''s a Defilement, or we need no Washing; it''s a Crime, or what''s Forgiveness?
A66347It was condescension enough that he agreed to be treated as a Sinner; but how odious is it to load him with Sin it self?
A66347Look to me and be saved, why will you die?
A66347Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?
A66347Many are rendred incapable of Service by Reproach for Sin, or by Poverty, Diseases,& c. VVho hath not found by Sin, what he must call Hurt?
A66347May not Wrath then be preached to an elect Person?
A66347May one be assured without diligence?
A66347Must he save all, or damn all, or else be a Respecter of Persons in his judicial Distributions?
A66347Must not I intend that Rest in coming to him?
A66347Must not I turn to him for Life, or frustrate his Use of that Argument?
A66347Must not he be reckoned to be a sinner while he doth sin?
A66347Nay, What a carnal selfish thing is Believing?
A66347Nay, to make his Triumphs in us so low, as that all he hath improved his Members to, is mere Filthiness?
A66347Need I add?
A66347Never to express any displeasure, when most provoked; yea, when he doth correct?
A66347Nor ought he to charge himself therewith?
A66347Nor whether some true Penitents may not sometimes be too much dejected and overwhelmed with Sorrow for Sin?
A66347Nor whether the Afflictions of the Godly be the Execution of the damnatory Curse of the Law, or any Satisfaction or Atonement for Sin?
A66347Nor, VVhether Convictions of a lost State, and some degree of Humblings and Sorrow, are necessary to drive a Soul to Christ?
A66347Nor, VVhether ingenuous Sorrow for Sin, in the sence of actual Pardon, be after that Pardon?
A66347Nor, VVhether the Habits of Faith and Repentance be wrought at the same time, and included in the Regenerating Principle?
A66347Nor, Whether Christ is offered to the worst Sinners, if they will accept of him on the Terms of the Gospel?
A66347Nor, Whether Faith, or any Grace, add any thing to the Value of Christ''s Merits?
A66347Nor, Whether God hath decreed, That the Elect shall certainly Believe, and so be Justified?
A66347Nor, Whether Justification be equally ascribed to Faith and Repentance?
A66347Nor, Whether Preparatory Qualifications do merit True Grace?
A66347Nor, Whether True Faith be an Infallible Sign of Justification?
A66347Nor, Whether an elect Person once Justified, shall by Christ''s care be kept in a Justified state?
A66347Nor, Whether the degrees of Convictions and Humblings be equal in all?
A66347Nor, Whether the worst Sinners are often the Objects of God''s Effectual Calling, in order to an Interest in Christ?
A66347Nor, Whether these Preparatory Qualifications be the Work of the Spirit by Common Grace?
A66347Nor, Whether we are Justified the same moment as we truly Believe in Christ, and the Blessing is not suspended for any time longer?
A66347Nor, whether a Sense of Pardon ought not to affect and melt the Heart?
A66347Now can any think, that many Duties must not be parts of the Gospel, as well as Believing?
A66347Now is not Holiness a great part of all these?
A66347Now what word is so proper to express the Duties as enjoyned Means of Benefits, like this word Conditions?
A66347Now who dare tell God Lyes to his Face?
A66347Obeyed the Truth, Obedience of Faith?
A66347On what Account hath God made it the Duty of Magistrates and Parents to punish for it?
A66347On what account is it said, that we believe to the saving of our Souls?
A66347Or a pardoned Worm say, I am as righteous as he who merited my Pardon?
A66347Or can any one thus receive him, who intends not to turn from Sin to Holiness?
A66347Or do I reject it, and will not receive it?
A66347Or doth he threaten Eternal Death, in those Calls, against whatever is short of perfect Obedience?
A66347Or doth it threaten Damnation, or a Continuance of it, on any true, penitent, believing, godly Man, because he is imperfect?
A66347Or doth not God charge him with it?
A66347Or hath God ever said we are thus perfect?
A66347Or is that Filthiness, which renders Saints the Excellent of the Earth?
A66347Or shall we enter Heaven with the same full sail, though we be negligent and unassured?
A66347Or that we preach not the Gospel, when we urge Obedience to these Duties from Gospel- Promises and Threats?
A66347Or the five foolish Virgins be excluded, who went out to meet the Bridegroom, if this be true?
A66347Or the want of it, all the Danger we have to threaten them with, to any beneficial purpose, against their abiding in Unbelief?
A66347Or was Paul himself always in Christ?
A66347Or whether our Faith be true or no?
A66347Or would he appoint us to preach what is not his own Will or Gospel?
A66347Or, That Christ hath not Arguments from Benefits and Dangers, from Promises and Threats, to strengthen his Charge?
A66347Our Sins can do us no harm at all; nor is Holiness, though so oft urged by him, a jot of our way to Heaven?
A66347P. 473. he puts this Objection, We will not deny but it is the Voice of the Spirit will satisfie the Case: But suppose I hear such a Voice?
A66347Q How doth Christ execute the Office of a King?
A66347Read over what I have proved at large, and canst thou doubt whether they benefit us, when they are the VVay to Heaven, the Means of Happiness?
A66347Read what is spoken of Sincerity, Uprightness,& c. and see, will it agree to what''s mortal Poyson?
A66347Reader, Dost thou not find God justifies none but whom he calleth?
A66347Reader, Lay these things to heart, and canst thou account persevering Holiness and Obedience useless things?
A66347Reader, is it not strange, that after this, the Doctor should affirm a Separation, and that for all the time when Iniquity was upon Christ?
A66347Remember,& c. or I will remove thy Candlestick out of its Place; and was this no hurt when it befell them?
A66347Sanctifies us?
A66347Shall any other Persons receive more Good than God hath already given and provided for them?
A66347Should not poor Sinners pray as they can, abstain from Sin, consider and apply the Word with an Eye to Conversion?
A66347Should not they wait and strive to believe and repent, with an Eye to Forgiveness and escaping VVrath?
A66347The Apostle in vain asketh, What Concord hath Christ with Belial?
A66347The Assemblies Lesser Catechism, Q. Wherein did Christ''s Humiliation consist?
A66347The Converts recorded in the Word, found such a Work on them, those were pricked in their Hearts, and cried, What shall we do?
A66347The Doctor then asks, But what doth Faith serve for?
A66347The Doctor, p. 85. puts this Objection; Is not Believing required to the Justification of the Ungodly?
A66347The Imitators of Christ?
A66347The Law of God in the Heart, and the Grace of God?
A66347The Lesser Catechism hath this Question, How doth the Spirit apply to us the Redemption purchased by Christ?
A66347The New Heart?
A66347Then answered Peter, and said unto him, behold we have forsaken all, and followed thee; What shall we have therefore?
A66347There''s no Saving Faith that includes not this purpose in it: Can I fiducially consent to Christ, and not intend to leave my wickedness?
A66347They were in Christ before me?
A66347This is used as an Argument to persuade us to follow Holiness; and can you suppose it argueth at a lower rate than this?
A66347To have no regard to Good or Evil in Men, in his judicial Distributions?
A66347To spit that in his Face, which the worst of Men abused him with?
A66347To what purpose do Men propose Ends to themselves, which Ends are accomplished before their Proposition?

A66347VVhat mean such places, The effectual, fervent Prayer of a righteous man availeth much?
A66347VVhat were the Things he counted Dung?
A66347VVhere shall I stop, when the Scriptures are so full of Instances?
A66347VVhether Christ is at liberty sharply to afflict a justified Person for provoking Sins, though he be secured against Soul- destroying Judgments?
A66347VVhether a Believer, falling into great Sins, ought to fear God''s present Rebukes for such Sins?
A66347VVhether a sincere purpose of Heart, to turn from Sin and Idols to God, be absolutely necessary to Forgiveness of Sin?
A66347VVho were those he calls Dogs?
A66347VVill no Prayer, or cold Prayer, avail as much?
A66347VVill not Christ deal with Men according to it?
A66347VVill the want, or scanty degrees of Grace, do the same?

A66347and doth not the Promise secure Life upon doing these?
A66347and is it not for their healing and Salvation?
A66347and of Ministers to censure the Transgressors?
A66347as, Doth not God forbear to pardon us till we believe?
A66347be offered for it?
A66347but he that trembleth at my Word?
A66347except for sin: How could he otherwise be subject to them any more than to Death it self?
A66347great Decays in Grace and Vigour, too oft never recovered this side the Grave?
A66347hath not Christ provided all else?
A66347how can any bear to think, that( as the Doctor affirms) he never saw God''s Face all that while?
A66347if they were Punishments, what were they for?
A66347it''s a going astray, or where''s the Use of Returning?
A66347or Men in Difficulties hold out?
A66347or what Part hath he that believeth with an Infidel?
A66347puts this Question, What is the Communion in Grace which the Members of the Invisible Church have with Christ?
A66347the Heart oft less capable of Impressions by the VVord?
A66347the Soul streightned in Duty?
A66347the Spirit abate its Influences?
A66347when rejecting his Authority, as doing his Will?
A66347yea, or betwixt Christ and Believers?
A28171& c. But what is the use Isaiah makes of all this glorious sight?
A2817119. and shal he decree& not execute it?
A281712, Epictetus said well; Si Luscinia essem, canerem ut Luscinia; cum autem homo sim, quod agam?
A2817134 make haste to pray and worship?
A2817134. Who gave him the first Rudiments of Principles of that Art?
A281715. Who hath directed this spirit, or being his counsellour hath taught him?
A281717, 8. Who is it that restrains& sets bounds to the Sea, that the waters thereof thogh they roar, yet do not overflow the land?
A281719. doth not that say as much as if I had given you liberty to do all these abominations?
A28171Again, what way more fit and sutable to stir up and constrain Adam unto a vvilling and constant obedience?
A28171Alas what are we doing with such empty names and shews in Religion?
A28171And can any man living find such exact obedience as the Law requires?
A28171And he that flees from us, will he strengthen us to pursue& follow after him?
A28171And how happy?
A28171And how?
A28171And if he look upon all men in his first and Primitive thought of them, as neither doing good nor evil, Why does he not have mercy on all?
A28171And if no good could be expected that way, what way could it come?
A28171And is there any knowledge besides the knowledge of God?
A28171And that iniquity or falshood and lying, which his nature most abhors?
A28171And that mind is good to them that trust in him; And therefor who can turn away our good?
A28171And that they did not frame any imagination in their own hearts, and taught it for his Word, as many did?
A28171And there is the more need, because there are so many by- paths that lead to destruction: What say I, by paths?
A28171And this he strengthens by the supream wisdome of God, who did direct him?
A28171And to what purpose?
A28171And was it not attempt of some mad man to go about to lead so many thousands from a wicked tyrannicall King, into another Nation?
A28171And what if God willing to make known the riches of his grace, have prepared some vessels to glory; shal any mans eye be evil because he is good?
A28171And why do ye not seek him since, since to you all the gain& profite redounds?
A28171And yet even that is not unexpected to him, but it flows from his will& counsel: What lesse taken notice of or know than the hairs of your head?
A28171And, how often do you think on him with admiration?
A28171And, what we have to do, but what he commands us?
A28171Are not there many Christians who can not endure to look one upon another, who are yet both placed in one building of the Temple of God?
A28171Are you in doubt, if you be Believers?
A28171At whom did his Spirit take Counsel?
A28171Because he is mercifull to some souls, shal men be displeased,& do well to be angry?
A28171Behold what a flood of calamity hath entred at a smal cranny, by one mans transgression?
A28171But I am full of doubtings, fears and jealousies; I can not believe his Promises, I often question them; How then will he perform them?
A28171But I think in some sense, it might be said, can any good thing come down from heaven, from his holy ● … abitation to this accursed earth?
A28171But O, where shal a soul find it self here?
A28171But in the next place, it s no lesse for mans good: What a honour and dignity was put upon man, when he was taken into friendship with God?
A28171But is this any answer to the Argument?
A28171But is thy eye evill because he is good?
A28171But may not man say vvith the Psalmist, Lord what is man that thou art so mindfull of him, or the Son of man that thou visitest him?
A28171But next consider, when these things were made: in the beginning; and what beginning is that?
A28171But that it had flowed from his glorious beeing with as natural and necessary a resultance, as light from the body of the Sun?
A28171But the wounded spirit hath one or two burdens more: I have abused much mercy, How can mercy pitty me?
A28171But then again, you who understand these sound words, and have a form of knowledge,& of the Letter of the Law, what will that avail you?
A28171But to what purpose is it all, I say?
A28171But we must stand a little here, and consider our misery, that hath fallen from such an excellency; how are we come down from Heaven wonderfully?
A28171But what are they profitable for?
A28171But what if I should say, that the Gospel it self is a killing Letter,& ministration of death, being severed from Christ?
A28171But what may convince souls of the Divine Majesty?
A28171But who art thou, O man, that disputes against God?
A28171But you may ask, what is it to glorifie God, Doth our goodness extend to him?
A28171But, O what is it to be set over all the Kings house, and over all his Kingdom?
A28171But, who can answer it?
A28171Can a King command that the Sea flow not?
A28171Can a Parliament act and ordain that the Sun rise not, or will these obey them?
A28171Can a child wade the Sea, or take it up in the hollow of its hand?
A28171Can a man hold the wind in the hollow of his hand, or keep in a sound within it?
A28171Can any man challenge him for it?
A28171Can any man quarrel him for preparing him to destruction, seeing he owes nothing to any man, but may do with his own what he pleaseth?
A28171Can you conceive that unity of the Trinity?
A28171Can you conceive why, of all the infinite numbers of possible beings, these are, and no other?
A28171Can you find the Originall of these in the Creature, why it is thus, and why not otherwise?
A28171Can you form it, or engrave it on any thing?
A28171Can you imagine any?
A28171Can you imagine it?
A28171Can you imagine that reciprocall inhabitation, that mutuall communion between the Father and the Son?
A28171Can you measure it?
A28171Canst thou a poor mortal creature, ascend up unto the height of Heaven, or descend down unto the depths of Hell?
A28171Canst thou by searching find out God?
A28171Canst thou by searching him out?
A28171Canst thou travel abroad, and compasse all the Sea& dry Land, by its longitude and latitude?
A28171Could any thing ● … e expected from heaven but wrath and vengeance?
A28171Could he savour their incense, and sweet smels, and eat the fat of Lambs and be pacified?
A28171Did God delight in them?
A28171Do we not come all into the stage of the world, as for an hour to act our part and be gone, now then, what is this to endless eternity?
A28171Do ye at all wonder at the glory of God when you gaze on his works?
A28171Do you not extenuate and mince your sins?
A28171Do you not know that its beyond all Controversie, that God must be worshipped?
A28171For from whence should that gift of the creature, which could oblidge him, have its rise?
A28171For the foot- stool to lift up it self thus, what an indignity was it?
A28171For what purpose is that chief of the works of God now?
A28171From whence is it that so many men are, and no more That the Lord Jesus was slain, when the power of God might have kept him alive?
A28171God hath been the subject of the discourses and debates of men in all ages, but Oh, Quam long e est in rebus qui est tam Communis in vocibus?
A28171Hath God said so, that you shal die?
A28171Hath he carved out such a lot unto you in this life?
A28171Hath he chosen us because he did fore- know that we would be holy, and without blame as men think?
A28171Hath he convinced thee, and made thee to flee unto the City for refuge, and expect salvation from no other but himself?
A28171Hath he not said, I am God and changes not: He is in one mind, who can turn him?
A28171Hath the Lord appointed you to suffer persecution and tribulation here?
A28171He hangeth it on nothing, What is it, I pray you that supports the Clouds?
A28171He is not a man that he should lie, or the son of man that he should repent; Will he say, and not do it?
A28171He was bound to all, though nothing had been promised: But then to have such a hope, what spirits might it adde to him?
A28171His request is, That the Lord would shew him his glory; Had he not seen much of this already?
A28171How are all of us unacquainted with this kind of Worship?
A28171How comes it then that ye doubt of his love as oft as ye change?

A28171How many of you do clear your selves?
A28171How many things do the World gaze upon, think upon, and discourse upon, and yet not one thought, one word of God all the time?
A28171How many things fall out& you call them casuall,& attribute them to Fortune?

A28171How shal I get love to God?
A28171How shal it be resolved than?
A28171How shal we see his face in ioy?
A28171How short a garment must all words, the most significant& comprehensive and superlative words be?
A28171How unchearchable are his judgements, and his wayes past finding out?

A28171I am what I am, an answer that does not satisfie curiosity, for it leaves room for the first Question, and what art thou?
A28171I beseech you consider it, it is no light matter, for God will by no means clear the guilty; by no means, by no intreaties, no flatteries; What?
A28171I beseech you what will many of you say in that day, when the Master returns and takes an account of your dispensation?
A28171I fear it doth not stirre up in our souls a desire after such a blessed life; whose heart would not be moved at the sound of such words?
A28171I pray you Christians, consider this; for it is such Worshippers the Father seeks; and why seeks he such?
A28171I say, you need no more ask that, than ask; How shal a man see light, or know the Sun- shine?
A28171I, even I, am he that comforteth thee, saith he: If we believed that it were he indeed, the Lord Jehovah, how would we be comforted?
A28171If God be then certainly Worship is due to him, for who is so worshipfull?
A28171If he will do it, and can do it, what hinders him to work and do?
A28171If our souls had this name constantly engraven on our hearts: O what power would Divine promises and threatnings have with us?
A28171If the world had been eternall, who would have thought that it was free for his Majesty to make it or not?

A45313Besides these resemblances, have we not many clear instances and examples of our resurrection?

A45313Mammon is the God they serve, and what can he doe lesse then blesse them with a miserable advantage?
A45313NAy 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?
A45313No, tempter; Canst thou challenge this faith of mine, which thou censurest, to be thine owne worke?

A45313what proofes can we have of anger but the effects of displeasure?
A45313when thou wouldst draw me on to my sins; then, how small, sleight, harmlesse, plausible they were?
A45313where did the holy God infuse such vertue into any creature?
A45313where should this sin lurk, that he should not espy it?
A45313why should they not be equally guilty?
A45313works so transcending the possibility of nature, that they could not be wrought by any lesse then the God of nature?

A4669910, 11, 12, 13: Why doest thou judge thy brother?
A4669911: and unto this sacred conjunction how unfortable is it for them here to be snarling one at another, to be judging and despising one another?
A4669912. Who can understand his errors?
A4669912. of Hezekiah''s not rendring againe according to the benefit done to him?
A4669914 Doth not even nature it self teach you, that 〈 ◊ 〉 a man have long hair,''t is a shame to him?
A4669914. Who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdome for such a time as this?
A4669916, A second inquiry is why the Gospell is stiled Pauls Gospell?
A4669916. is described to be like a fiery flame?
A4669916. which shall shake Heaven and earth?
A466991: He said unto the woman, yea, hath God said yee shall not eat of every tree of the Garden?
A466991: the setting of our posts by God''s posts, our thresheld by his threshold?
A466992. are too many for to give the Midianites into their hands, Why?
A466992. as if he had cald for an impossibility — Who can utter( saith he) the mighty acts of the Lord?
A4669920. and who should not tremble at the guilt of the murther of any soul whatsoever?
A4669922: two children strugled together within her wombe, and 〈 ◊ 〉 said, if it be so, why am I thus?
A4669923: and therefore, why should any of them, that live here together, forsake the assembling of themselves together?
A4669925. if the bare commination of this iudgment be so terrifying: what will the sense, and experience of it doe?
A4669932, 33: shall they only be our intimates, and confidents here in this life from whom in the next life we are like to be everlasting separatists?
A466993?
A4669943?
A4669948: and is it not as equitable for God to doe so too?
A466994: so he will suppresse all their groanes: we shall all be perfect friends at our journeyes end; and therefore, why doe we fall out by the way?
A466997. cur malum sama?
A466997: who 〈 ◊ 〉 thee to differ from another?
A466998. is a confirmation of that; Offer it now, saith God, unto thy 〈 ◊ 〉, will he be pleased with thee?
A466999 2 I would know, whether it had been a snare if God 〈 ◊ 〉 appointed sitting at the Table with exception of such extraordinary cases?
A46699?
A46699A second question is; Whether all indifferent actions be equally indifferent?
A46699Abstaine from all& c. But are we sure this is the Apostles meaning?
A46699An Sit?
A46699An actiones indifferentes nihil inter se differant, sed aequè omnes à bono,& malo distent?
A46699And through thy knowledg shall the weake brother perish, for whom Christ died?
A46699And was it such a rashnesse, to say that it may be thought so?
A46699And what I pray is the ground of this terrible accusation?
A46699And who will say, that there is no cause to suspect evill of an Idoll, though it be for a time neglected?
A46699And why then should it be lawfull to adde unto the Ceremonial Law in the New Testament?
A46699And why 〈 ◊ 〉 shall 〈 ◊ 〉 application of civil decency unto sacred busines, make it alter the nature or name of it?
A46699And will not Christ( thinke you?)
A46699And, pray Sir, why do not you adde, and with quantity?
A46699As also to be informed, whether you extend what you say of the prescription of Ceremonies in a Church unto all Churches?
A46699Avoiding of scandall is a maine duty of Charity: May Superiours at their pleasure appoint how farre I shall shew my Charity towards my brothers soule?
A46699Before the Assises, how full are their minds of boding feares, and when it cometh, how are these their feares heightned?
A46699But I demand, when we 〈 ◊ 〉 of a body what we mean by it?
A46699But Sir, what 〈 ◊ 〉 you of mortality?
A46699But Sir, 〈 ◊ 〉 think you of Mortality?
A46699But because it may sometimes be rendered appointment, will it therefore follow that it must be so rendred in this place?
A46699But first, pray who could tell that you thus meant it, until you now tell me: Is this a usual and received sense of the word?
A46699But he maketh his retreat to the word Comelinesse; asking if comelinesse be nothing?
A46699But proceed we unto the second part of the question: whether or no originall righteousnesse were 〈 ◊ 〉 unto man in his state of innocency?
A46699But sounds not this very strangely?
A46699But what advantage reap you unto your cause by this?
A46699But why doest thou judge thy brother?
A46699But why mention I 〈 ◊ 〉?
A46699But you will demaund why he adjures them hereunto, by the comming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him?
A46699But, 1. that this was not brought in by way of Parenthesis, who is in the fault?
A46699But, Sir, in good earnest, doe you thinke that Christ was inclined unto evill?
A46699But, what talke we of Papists?
A46699Calvinist''s about oath''s concerning things indifferent have this case: Whether they be obligatory in trifles?
A46699Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the others: for why is my liberty judged 〈 ◊ 〉 mans conscience?
A46699Conscience; I say, 〈 ◊ 〉 thine own, but of the others: for why is my liberty judged of another mans conscience?
A46699Cur 〈 ◊ 〉 priùs quod bonum est teneri jussit, nunc abstinere vult, 〈 ◊ 〉 simpliciter à malo, sed à mali specie?

A46699Else, what shall wee thinke of Davids 〈 ◊ 〉?
A46699Et in hoc omnes consentiunt, caeterum de obligatione quid 〈 ◊ 〉?
A46699First then?
A46699First, What is meant by this Gospell of Paul?
A46699First, many exclude from active scandall all things that scandalize per accidens: and then, what will become of those scandals Paul speaks against?
A46699First, whether it were naturall?
A46699First, whether or no originall righteousnesse were naturall unto the first man in his state of innocency?
A46699First, whether, or no it be annexed with a necessary duty, or not?
A46699First, with himselfe; how frequent, and warme are the contests in his own bosome, betwixt his rationall, and sensuall powers?
A46699For first, what is the end of a rule but to regulate and direct?
A46699For if inclination to sinne be a sinne naturally, and derived from our Parents, I demand whether or no had not Christ all naturall 〈 ◊ 〉?
A46699For indifferent dayes, meates, surpsice, 〈 ◊ 〉 not him for whom Christ dyed?
A46699For is Satan so backward in tempting, or is his invention grown so barren, as that our lives and practise must put arguments into his mouth?
A46699For it he hung upon a crosse; and shall it then have a 〈 ◊ 〉 in my heart?
A46699For what hast thou that thou hast not received?
A46699For, whence but from God should come power to deserve?
A46699God will reconcile all the brethren at the last day; and therefore it is folly for any of them to jangle in the meane while?
A46699He cryeth out of 〈 ◊ 〉 perversion, eithe: by grosse negligence, or mistaking And why so I pray?
A46699He is expresse for the duty of thanksgiving it selfe — Giving thanks allwayes,& c. How can that, you will say, be done?
A46699Here before it can be defined, whether this be a regular Syllogisme, or no?
A46699How Paul termeth it his Gospel?
A46699How a God?
A46699How can they be condemned, for refusall of the Gospell, unto whom it was never offered?
A46699How canst thou recompense( saith( b) Jesus the sonne of Sirach) thy Parents the things that they have done for thee?
A46699How do men dread those judges, whose severest doome reacheth only unto( that which they themselves can not avoid) death of the body?
A46699How shall wee recompense our God the things he hath done for us?
A46699How sharply doth James reprehend the wicked rich, merely for their sordid sparing, and hording?
A46699How unsuitable unto this, is the disposition of those by whom offences come?
A46699I demand whether the use of the Crosse amongst the Ancients was decent or undecent?
A46699I would 〈 ◊ 〉 to know, how you like the companion of the Crosse in Tertullian, the holy oile?
A46699I, but have they the blush, the appearance of evill?
A46699If it be not; how came Adam to sinne his first sine?
A46699If it had pleased God to command, or forbid the signe of the Crosse in particular, what snare had it been?
A46699If it was decent, then why was it abrogated?
A46699If it was undecent, then how can you infer therefrom, the perfect decency of the use of the Crosse in Baptism?
A46699If not elsewhere, why here?
A46699If petitions could prevaile with Judges on earth, how would they be even overwhelmed with them?
A46699If you demand why I say that, you dare not say what you said not?
A46699In what sense God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according unto the Gospell of Paul?
A46699Inquiry is made concerning its an sit?
A46699It must bee demanded, quanta est minor, is the assumption universal or particular?
A46699Let all things be done 〈 ◊ 〉: when Bishop Morton desired to know whether this matter were not a thing indifferent?
A46699Let the understanding Reader 〈 ◊ 〉, at what?
A46699More freely yet; not only without, but against our deservings; for what are our 〈 ◊ 〉 except such as Augustine speaks of, merita mala?
A46699Nay doth not thine own family remaine uninstructed, and unchatechized, ignorant of the first principles of the Oracles of God?
A46699Once more, Is it natural to be a natural?
A46699Once more, is it naturall to be naturall?
A46699Quia velox, an quia plurimum mendax?
A46699Quid nominis?
A46699Quid rei?
A46699Quid sit?
A46699Quod 〈 ◊ 〉 si& incontinentes dicant se à continentibus scandalizari, continentia revocanda est?
A46699Say you so?
A46699Secondly, How can he cordially serve God, that contemnes and disobeyes his deputy, and ministers?
A46699Secondly, Suppose a coherence of the words with the former, must it needs be that which they obtrude?
A46699Secondly, whether it were supernaturall?
A46699Sed sanguis, quanto aptiùs sanguinem Christi significaret?
A46699Some customes we know there are, which are so highly decent, as that the omission of then necessarily infers indecency: But what are they?
A46699Some telling us that it was a 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, attributed a power thereunto of 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉; What shall we 〈 ◊ 〉?
A46699St John''s tryall of the Spirits?
A46699Suppose I grant this, what then?
A46699The relation unto the first man, Whether it were natural or supernatural to him?
A46699The second, Whether or no we are to be thankfull for afflictions?
A46699The second, whether or no we are to be thankfull for afflictions?
A46699The third and last inquiry is how, and in what sence, God shall judge the secrets of men, according unto Pauls Gospel?
A46699Then came his Disciples and said unto him: knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended after they heard this saying?
A46699Thirdly, what was the subject of originall righteousnesse in which it was seated?
A46699This to deny, or smother, or but sparingly to discourse of, what bewrayes it, but a loathnesse to acknowledg our selves engaged to the Almighty?
A46699This wedding garment is the robes of Christs righteousnesse: and what puts these on but saith?
A46699Thou hast a large portion of temporals; but alas how narrow, and short is the Catalogue of thy good works that thou canst produce?
A46699Tu es qui venturus es?
A46699Was theere such rituall purity under the Law?
A46699What extraordinary 〈 ◊ 〉 is here?
A46699What fearefull outcries do they make concerning their appearance of Idolatry, superstition, will- worship and Popery?
A46699What is meant by Pauls Gospell?
A46699What medium indifferent things are betwixt things morally good and evil; whether medium 〈 ◊ 〉, or participationis?
A46699What medium indifferent things are betwixt things morally good, and evill?
A46699What place is there left for St Pauls proving of all things?
A46699What question can there ever be of the perfect decency of this usage among us?
A46699What then shall I do, when God 〈 ◊ 〉 up?
A46699What though they be not actually defiled?
A46699When shall we come to the 〈 ◊ 〉 place?
A46699Where he these words, all that is requisite as spoken of Rites and 〈 ◊ 〉?
A46699Where 〈 ◊ 〉 you in 〈 ◊ 〉 that the Church may constitute no new thing?
A46699Whether or no the controversie between us be not material, but less pertinent; whether your Letter be so satisfactory, as that it needs no answer?
A46699Why doe Christians judge one another, seeing they shall all be associated with Christ, as assessors in judgment?
A46699Why, pray Sir, doe you say, that I am so great an admirer of Porphyrics definition of an accident?
A46699Why?
A46699Why?
A46699Why?
A46699Why?
A46699Will be not deliver this to save his life?
A46699Would not good Christians still have had care of their brothers consciences?
A46699a Creditor his debts?
A46699a sinne that rooted out him, and all his posterity?
A46699all Accusers, and Informers from suggesting?
A46699all Jurors from 〈 ◊ 〉, and partiality in their verdicts, and presentments?

A46699and doe you thinke they would passe for 〈 ◊ 〉?
A46699and doth not this amount to more, then a meere innocency, a bare absence of vice?
A46699and his supine negligence in discharging that trust, and duty, which the measure of his gifts, and the condition of his calling exact from him?
A46699and how saint, and unzealous are those requests?
A46699and if not, what reason you have for the restriction of it unto some Churches?
A46699and in thy name done many wonderfull works?
A46699and in thy name have cast out Divels?
A46699and publick prayers made 〈 ◊ 〉 decently without a Surplice, as with it?
A46699and shall not we feare that Judge: whose bare sentence is so operative, and efficacious, as that it is able to destroy body and soule in Hell?
A46699and shall there not be found an answerable degree of morall precisenesse in the 〈 ◊ 〉 of the Gospell?
A46699and so turnes a most wholesome 〈 ◊ 〉, into a most pernicious poyson?
A46699and the magistrate his tribute or contribution?
A46699and walke hand in hand together, friendly, and fruitfully in all the ordinances of Christ?
A46699and what proofes he will bring, for so strange an assertion, we will leave unto the issue?
A46699and what these Churches are?
A46699and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?
A46699and who not?
A46699and yet it is his will, and pleasure, that these externals of his worship should be laid aside for the performance of outward works of mercy?
A46699are not the words capable of another interpretation?
A46699as when he paid tribute lest he should offend them?
A46699betwixt us then there will be an impassable gulph, and that unto all eternity, and therefore why now is there such a nearnesse betwixt us?
A46699but that he undervallued God''s command, and followed his own judgment, his own invention?
A46699but to licence confusion both in Church and 〈 ◊ 〉?
A46699but to make provision for the flesh to fullfill the lusts thereof?
A46699can God be 〈 ◊ 〉 to any man?
A46699can we expect to be associated with Saints, and Angels in the Traine of Christ, and in the meane while live like incarnate Divels?
A46699can we hope for the honour of Saints to be attendents unto the Iudge, and abhorre holinesse, that denominates us to be Saints?
A46699for crushing, or restraining potent oppressors?
A46699for every storme of persecution slip anchor and 〈 ◊ 〉 cable?
A46699for helping the distressed?
A46699for, if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evill spoken of, for that for which I give thanks?
A46699from betraying or delaying the causes of their poore Clients?
A46699himself, pag 89. telleth us of cumber, and much ado, that would have been, in naming every 〈 ◊ 〉, and is not this as much as lesse easie?
A46699how backward hast thou alwaies been to contribute toward any good cause?
A46699how backward in speaking for them, when they themselves are either ashamed out of modesty, or disabled by sicknesse to goe to speake for themselves?
A46699how could men be slothsull, and unprofitable, if they had but respect unto this recompense of 〈 ◊ 〉, fellowship with Christ in all his glory?
A46699how dreadlesse, and contemptible is any tribunall, in comparison of Christ''s Throne?
A46699how dull and heavy are we in the apprehension of them?
A46699how few are there of thine intimates, that have learned any considerable thing from thee?
A46699how poore and meane is the retinue of the most magnificent sheriffe, in comparison of those millions of Angels, that shall waite on Christ?
A46699how will they be confounded to heare all their black jealousies of them pronounced to be groundlesse, and injurious?
A46699if it be, I aske whether shall the Saints in the resurrection be raised up with it or no?
A46699if it be; I ask: whether shall the 〈 ◊ 〉 in the resurrection be raised up with it or no?
A46699if they continue with a scornfull obstinacy to neglect, and reject that great Salvation, which is tendered them in the Gospel?
A46699is that essential, or of the nature of man?
A46699is that 〈 ◊ 〉, or os the nature of man?
A46699makes that to bring forth fruit unto death, which was ordained to life?
A46699must thou not needs confesse, that thy prayers for thy sick, and poore brethren have been both unfrequent, and unfervent?
A46699natur, ut anima muniatur, the flesh or body is signed, that the soul may be defended or fortified?
A46699no more bending unto evill, then unto good?
A46699of what use are our intellectualls?
A46699or hath any man given to him first, that it might be recompensed him againe?
A46699or whether God did not by some acts oblige, and necessitate himselfe unto the enduing of the first man with originall righteousnesse?
A46699or why doest thou set at nought thy brother?
A46699or why dost thou set at nought thy brother?
A46699or would not prevent it?
A46699proves by many instances: when the thing was indifferent, doth not our Saviour foregoe his liberty, to please the malicious?
A46699sanguis, inquam, essusus, crucem compactam?
A46699shall I spare, and indulge that, which put him to so painfull, and shamefull a death?
A46699shall they be willingly within sight, sent, and hearing of impiety, except to reprove it?
A46699shall they have our most intimate, and friendliest conversation, that are as yet the professed enemies of Christ, and his Church?
A46699si calix tuus fractus est, viscera hominis distrahentur?
A46699such Ceremoniall strictnesse in heathenish Priests?
A46699that is, are the things changed in their essentials and yet remaine the same?
A46699that is, whether they can be the same, when they are not the same?
A46699that makes that a spurre to excite unto sin, which in it''s naturall tendency is a bridle to restraine therefrom?
A46699that say, who will shew us any good?
A46699then how are they chang''d, and then what hath God done to them?
A46699then they shall for ever associate in the praises of God; and why then shall they not in the interim joyne in all other parts of God''s worship?
A46699then to what purpose hath he placed that glorious lamp of reason in our bosomes?
A46699to aske God pardon for it?
A46699to check such a litigious, and vexatious plantiffe?
A46699to curb such a mighty oppressour?
A46699to give Commands, and expect obedience from their children?
A46699to make any scruple of the committing of it?
A46699to prevent that partiality, and injustice, which is intended by some crafty, and false companions, who are for the nonce packed into the Iury?
A46699to rescue such a poore innocent from oppression, to deliver such a wronged party from injury?
A46699to say, that he did not foresee it, takes away the infinitenesse of his knowledge; if he foresaw it, then I demand whether he could not?
A46699to say, that our Lord forbore the determining of such circumstances, because all else was easie?
A46699to suppresse such a disorder?
A46699unto what wrongs, and injuries would this expose such, as are well affected?
A46699we may say unto a juror; who knoweth whether God hath called thee to serve for such a time, and cause as this?
A46699what Patent hath she to make particular 〈 ◊ 〉 for time and place?
A46699what an unfathomable pravity is there in this, that makes a most equitable disswasive from sin, to be a powerfull incentive unto it?

A46699what is the service, that thou hast done with them?
A46699what reason have wee to hope then for the fruition of his glory, if we be now regardlesse of the advancement of his glory?
A46699what unfaithfull stewards have the most of men been of that large, and rich talent of time, which God hath trusted them with?
A46699whether medium abnegationis, or participationis?

A652961 Are not they proud who are given to glorying?
A652961 But I fear I am not bruised enough?
A652961 Have we chosen Christ to set our love upon?
A6529610: How precious was our Salvation to Christ?
A6529612. Who can understand his errors?

A652962 Have we consented to the match?
A652962 Not to love is a foolish thing; have not Gods people enemies enough, that they should flye in the faces one of another?
A652962 What strangers are they to godliness, who have no zeal for the glory of God?
A652962. and may not all this draw forth our love?

A65296didst thou ever with a weeping eye, look upon Christ?
A65296do we not meet with God here?
A65296doth a Diamond sparkle the less, because a blinde man disparageth it?
A65296hath thy proud heart been humbled?
A65296have wee given up our name and will to Christ?
A65296he is carving and pollishing thee, and making thee fit for glory, he smites that hee may save; what is thy tryal, is it sickness?
A65296he might have deprived us of salvation; doth he put wormwood in the cup?
A65296he never eats; dost thou beleeve?
A65296he sweat drops of blood, hee conflicted with his Fathers wrath; how zealous was hee for your redemption, and have you no zeal for him?
A65296hee might have taken away his spirit; hath he deprived us of a relation?

A65296how did he Trumpet forth free- grace?
A65296how far short do I come of what I should be, nay, of what I might have been: What can I see in my life, but either blanks or blots?
A65296how should the smoaking flax flame in love to God?

A65296so can the Devil, he transforms himself into an Angel of light; dost thou fast?
A65296so can the Devil, hee brought Scripture to Christ; dost thou profess religion?
A65296the godly are hated for the perfume of their graces; is a Virgin hated for her beauty?
A65296then let us try our godliness by this: Do we set an high estimation upon Christ?
A65296thus the spouse in the Text, I am his; as if she had said, all I have is for the use and service of Christ; have we made a surrender?
A65296to what Regiment doth he belong?
A65296was not Jesus Christ zealous for you?
A65296we have been made to swim in a sea of mercy, and doth not all this call for thankfulness?

A65296what were the foolish Virgins better for their blazing lamps, when they wanted oyle?
A65296when we are disconsolate, do we go to this Aqua vitae bottle for comfort?
A65296when we find corruptions strong, do we make use of this Sword of the Spirit to hew them down?
A65296where can the soul be better, than in drawing nigh to God?
A65296who would not persevere in godliness?
A65296why have they no more holy ardours of soul?
A65296will Christ bear with the affronts and injuries done to his Bride?
A65296will God endure light feathery hearts?
A65296will hee accept of those duties, which are sowered with bitterness of spirit?
A65296will the paint of godliness stand thee in any stead?

A30587Are you not the Stewards of Christ, are they not given to you for the edification of your Brethren, as well as for good to your selves?
A30587Arius Montanus translates, Nunquid de solatio: what, is there desolation made?
A30587As Balaams Asse said to his Master, Have I used to serve thee so at other times?
A30587Away therefore, will you adde impiety to your sinne?
A30587BUt how will this joyn us one to another?
A30587But did he not bring disturbance to the Kingdome by this his zeale?
A30587But doe not men in a Congregationall way urge upon others their owne conception ● and practices, according to the power they have, as much as any?
A30587But doth not Christ say, Hee came into the world to witnesse to the truth, and is not every truth more worth then our lives?
A30587But doth not this then exclude him from the exercise of any power in the matters of Christian Religion?
A30587But especially where men will not keepe within their bounds in their power over others; for what is all our contestation at this time?
A30587But here will be not an inconvenience only but a mischief?
A30587But how can naturall and externall things be helps to things spirituall and divine?
A30587But how can this be?
A30587But how is this an argument for us to unite?
A30587But how shall it be known, whether the Devill be in a mans conscience or not?
A30587But if instead of being sweetned by mercies we are the more imbittered one against another, how great is this sinne?
A30587But if men of evill tongues doe so much hurt to men of moderate spirits, what hurt doe they doe one to another?
A30587But if the difference be so little, why doe they not come in?
A30587But if those liberties they seek be good, or but supposed by them to be so, why then should they feare a right setling of things?
A30587But it is necessary that all things be reformed at once?
A30587But must God have all our hearts, so as we may not let them out at all to any thing else?
A30587But that those embracements of his should be everlasting, and yet shall every trifle take us off from one anothers hearts?
A30587But these who gather Churches thus, looke upon all others who are not in that way as Heathens; and what division must this needs make?
A30587But they are not formally and juridically delivered up to Satan?
A30587But what are the severall workings of pride that make such a stir in the world?
A30587But what came on it?
A30587But what if Congregations refuse to give account of their wayes?
A30587But what may be done to a man in such a case?
A30587But when these latter cases shall fall out, how shall the truth be maintained?
A30587But while one draws one way, another another, one seeks to set up, and another labours to pull down, how can the work go on?
A30587But who can know when a man is condemned of himselfe?
A30587But why must there be Divisions, what does God ayme at in them?
A30587But why then will they not admit them to their communion?
A30587But will Printing help?
A30587But would you know what it is that hath grieved it, and what it is that is like to grieve it further?
A30587But you will say, How can we do lesse but account it a very strange thing, that those who fear God should be thus divided?
A30587But you will say, Is it not more likely that men of learning and piety, should know what is right, and what is not, better then others?
A30587But you will say, May not men be punished for things that they see no reason why they should be punished?
A30587But you will say, Surely there is use of reason and prudence in matters spirituall; how far may their use extend?
A30587But you will say, What?
A30587By what name, sayes he, shall I call you?
A30587Can any man living beare this?
A30587Can not men walke peaceably in a broad way, though they do not tread just in one anothers steps?
A30587Can not you endure reproach?
A30587Can not you endure to be deceived?
A30587Can not you endure to have others envy you?
A30587Can this satisfie your consciences?
A30587Can we be able to bear such rebukes as these?
A30587Canst not thou prevail with thy Father as well in this as in that?
A30587Christ reconciles both unto God: but how?
A30587Conscience is an inward roome, who can see into it, what, or who is there?
A30587Cur hominios non obstruitis auro argentove?
A30587Did not he that made me in the wombe, make him?
A30587Do not all Divines say, There are some things in Scripture wherein the Elephant may swimm, some things where the Lamb may wade?
A30587Do not our Adversaries say, Let them alone and they will devoure one another?
A30587Do not ye serve my gods?
A30587Do you envy for my sake, says Moses?
A30587Do you think this was Gods end in delivering us from being devoured of our enemies, that we may be devoured one of another?
A30587Doe not men in a Congregationall way take away all Ecclesiastical means that should hinder such an absolute liberty as this?
A30587Doe we provoke the Lord to jealousie?
A30587Does it appear by our carriages one towards another, that we are taught of God to love one another?
A30587Doth Moses prevaile too much in the hearts of the people?
A30587Every man cries out of the Theefe, but who stops him?
A30587First, A proud man thinks himself too great to be crossed, Shall I beare this?
A30587For first, from whence is the rise of all Civill Power that any man, or society of men, are invested with?
A30587For wherein lyes the strength of the seventh above the rest?
A30587For who can say, that a Democracy is a sinfull Government in it selfe?
A30587For yee are yet carnall; how do''s he prove that?
A30587From whence are our State- divisions, our Warres, but because Princes have been perswaded their power was boundlesse?
A30587From whence hath come the gross ignorance of Popery, but from the prevailing of this principle?
A30587God is come amongst us, wee may see the face of God in what he hath done for us, and shall we be quarrelling before his face?
A30587God shewes that he can owne us notwithstanding all our infirmities: Was ever Kingdome in a more distempered condition then ours hath been of late?
A30587Had we joyned hand in hand together, and set out selves to serve the Lord with one shoulder, what abundance of service might have been done?
A30587Hath Christ delevered us from one burden to lay a greater upon us?
A30587Hath God made this to be an Ordinance for the spirituall good of people?
A30587Have we not all one Father?
A30587Have we the spirit of Christ in us?
A30587He shall not prevail, sayes Christ: Why?
A30587How can we answer Christ Jesus for these things?
A30587How can you partake of the Table of the Lord, and the Table of Devills?
A30587How comes it to passe, you can close so lovingly now?
A30587How farre are most of us from this?
A30587How great a misery will this be?
A30587How great then is the evill of our divisions?
A30587How little has all that they have studied and endeavoured to do, prevailed with the hearts of men?
A30587How much better then is it to be hated for Christ, then to be beloved for sinne?
A30587How then is it possible that we should be at peace one with another?
A30587How unseasonable and dangerous is it for a Marriner to have his top- sails up, and all spread in a violent storme?
A30587How were they wo nt to pour forth their hearts in prayer together?
A30587I am come to send fire on the earth, and what will I if it be already kindled?
A30587I demand, what can any Church- power do more to work upon mens conscience for the reducing them from evill?
A30587I have read of two famous Philosophers falling at variance Aristippus and Aeschines, Aristippus comes to Aeschines, Shall we not be friends?
A30587I know not: Shall I call you Cives, qui à patria vestra descivistis?
A30587IF God should catch advantages against us, what would become of us?
A30587IT is but a little time we have to live; shall the greater part of it, nay why should any part of it be ravel''d out with contentions and quarrels?
A30587If an Ammonite or Moabite can not beare the being shut out of the Congregation of the Lord, how can the Saints beare it?
A30587If he comes thus, who shall abide his comming?
A30587If it prevails, what domineering is there like to be of one over another, yea of some few over many?
A30587If men speak with strange tongues, aud there comes in one unlearned, will they not be to him as Barbarians, will they not say they are mad?
A30587If one should set the Beakons on fire upon the landing of every Cock- boat, what continuall combustions and tumults would there be in the Land?
A30587If such things may fall out between Jerome and Ruffinus,( sayes he) who that is now a friend may not fear to be an enemy?
A30587If they be not united one to another in love and peace, but have a spirit of Division ruling amongst them, what will the world thinke?
A30587If we had but that great question more amongst us, What shall wee doe to be saved?
A30587If we should say, O Lord Jesus, wouldst thou have us be at peace one with another?
A30587If you say, If men have meanes of knowledge and strength, and yet continue ignorant and weake, should not such be dealt with as wilfull and obstinate?
A30587If you should compell us, sayes he, to sacrifice, what did you in this for your gods?
A30587In times of Popery what rage did it raise against men who were most conscientious?
A30587Is it comely for the body of Christ to be rent and torn?
A30587Is it for the credit of a Master, that his servants are alwayes wrangling and fighting one with another?
A30587Is it not a tedious thing in a family that the servants can never agree?
A30587Is it not an abhorring thing to any mans heart in the world, that men should suffer that God to be blasphemed, whom they honour?
A30587Is it not in our desires, that this great Victory might be pursued, that it might not be lost, as others( in great part) have been?
A30587Is it not the power which they themselves had, and which they might have kept amongst themselves?
A30587Is it seemly that one mans children should be alwayes contending, quarrelling and mischieving one another?
A30587Is it such a Fast that I have chosen?
A30587Is it true O Shadrach; Meshach, and Abednego?
A30587Is not thine Embassage from thy Father, an Embassage of peace?
A30587Is not this to deny the Church the benefit of the gifts and graces of thousands of others?
A30587It is not enough therefore to say the thing is in it selfe better, but is it better in all the references I have, and it hath?
A30587It may be you will say, What hurt is there in them?
A30587Lastly, the Saints enjoyment of the sweetnesse of love, peace and unity among themselves, what is it but heaven upon earth?
A30587Let all bitternesse, wrath, anger, clamour, and evill speaking be put away from you with all malice: And would you doe that which may rejoyce it?
A30587Luther approved of these things, are you wiser then he?
A30587Many amongst us do but dream of men, with whom our hearts are not, that they have some plots working, and how do our spirits work against them?
A30587Many will have no peace, except their own party be followed; Jehu- like, What hast thou to do with peace?
A30587May it not be justly thought that all our seeming love one to,& closing one with another formerly, was only for our own ends?
A30587May it not be that his eyes and thoughts were another way?
A30587May it not help one way, and hinder many ways?
A30587Moses speaks thus to those who strove one with another: Sirs, ye are brethren, why do yee wrong one another?
A30587Nay, are they not falne into ours?
A30587Nehemiah raised up by God for great service, what dirt was cast upon him?
A30587Ninthly, what can have that power to take off the sowrnesse of mens spirits like mercy; the mercy of a God?
A30587Now all this being done in Christs name, is this nothing to prevail with conscience?
A30587Now then, have not our divisions overcom Gods goodnes, lest Gods goodness overcome our divisions?
A30587Now then, how shall we know when a man is neither fickle nor stout?
A30587Now what doth this require of us?
A30587O Lord, what is this thy curse at this time upon England?
A30587O pitty, pitty thy Brother, if thou canst not pitty thy selfe; does it not grieve thee, that thy Brother should bring sinne upon himself?
A30587Oh Lord, what are we in these dayes such kinde of Christians as these were?
A30587Oh blessed Saviour, is not thy prayer against our divisions, as strong?
A30587Oh blessed Saviour, must we not think that thou art come to send peace?
A30587Oh consider, is the breach between man and man so grievous?
A30587Oh that we had hearts when we find contentions stirring to consider, But is there not a temptation in them?
A30587One would be for Paul, another for Apollos, sayes the Apostle, What need this contention, who you are for, and who another is for?
A30587Only here lies the great doubt, Whether hath God appointed the use of the Magistrates power to be a helpe to the things of Religion?
A30587Our Divisions hinder our strength; If you untwist a Cable, how weak is it in the severall parts of it?
A30587Prayer in it selfe is better, but is it better at this time for me, all things considered?
A30587Quid facit inpectore Christiano luporum feritas?
A30587Quis non vita etiam sua redimat submotum istus infinitum dissi ● ii scandalum?
A30587Rulers, saith the Text, are not a terrour to good works, but to evil; wilt thou then not be afraid of their power?
A30587Shall I hold my peace when the Devill has stirred up so great a perturbation, has kindled so great a fire?
A30587Shall I lose my sweetnesse in contending, to get my will to be above others?
A30587Shall I say sutablenesse?
A30587Shall men of warre be at peace?
A30587Shall not we whom God from all eternity hath ordained to live co- heires in heaven, to joyn together in praises there, agree together here on earth?
A30587Shall so many Religions be suffered amongst us?
A30587Shall the comfort of all our former mercies and future hopes be lost, by raising up of new quarrels?
A30587Sixthly, what help can there be?
A30587So St. Paul, Hast thou faith?
A30587So we may say, what if they will not regard your delivering them up to Satan, but will go on still?
A30587Such an one is thine enemy, and wilt thou of one enemy make two?
A30587Suppose a man differs from his brethren in point of Church- Discipline, must not this man have a place in an Army therefore?
A30587Suppose children or servants were wrangling one with another, were not this an argument to make them be quiet, Your Father is here?
A30587Take but away their disputes, and for any else, how empty and dry are they?
A30587Tanta ne vos generis tenuit fiducia vestri?
A30587Tell me, were it a signe of valour in a man to draw his sword at every Whappet that comes near him?
A30587That is as if you should say, What if they be not conscientious?
A30587The Lord make you to increase and abound in love one towards another, and towards all men: To what end?
A30587The answer is soon made, Do you not see plainly that they came from your lusts?
A30587The curing the heart will sooner cure the head, then the curing the head will cure the heart: Whence are wars?
A30587The first heart- division amongst men was between Gain& Abel, and what caused it but envy?
A30587The heat of the Gospel divides: it is like fire when it comes, Is not my word like fire?
A30587There are other names of division; the name of Puritan, what a divider hath it been?
A30587There is a great outcry of this but what is the scope of it?
A30587There shall not a man be put to death this day: Why?
A30587These are strange accusations; for do not they themselves make all these the signs of the true Church?
A30587This dividing with God is very wicked; what communion hath God with Belial?
A30587Those wasting Wars of the Romans between Sylla and Marius, Caesar and Pompey, were they not from hence?
A30587To which the Embassadors of Austria reply: What discommoditie were herein, how heavie and sorrowfull newes this would be to the people, who seeth not?
A30587VVE differ thus and thus, but what doe we agree in?
A30587VVHat do you hear more ordinary then this, How many Religions have we now?
A30587VVOuld not I have others beare with me?
A30587VVhat then should be the rule?
A30587WHen Christ shall come, will you stand before him with scratched faces, with black and blew eyes?
A30587WHy may not meat come out of the eater, and sweet out of these bitter things?
A30587We are delivered from being devoured by our enemies; shal we now devour one another?
A30587We never had such a time to try what spirit of love, what principles of union are in us, as now we have; and shall we now miscarry?
A30587We pray that the will of God might bee done on earth as it is done in heaven; why, may not we have a heaven upon earth?
A30587We use to put a price upon things that are rare: what makes Jewels to be of that worth, but for the rarity of them?
A30587Were it not better for thee to suffer; then for thy Brother to sinne?
A30587Were it not folly and madnesse?
A30587What a stir hath this Meum and Tuum made in the world?
A30587What a stir would the Lions in the Tower mak ●, and the Bears in Paris- garden, if they were let loose?
A30587What be our caetera opera, that bewray such a humor?
A30587What biting and devouring was this?
A30587What can cause one member to tear and rend another, but madness?
A30587What dependance had these things upon their discipline and Ceremonies, supposing they had been right?
A30587What does a froward contentious spirit do in thee, who professt thy self to be a Christian?
A30587What hinders why soft and gentle words may not prevaile, as well as hard and bitter language?
A30587What if nothing can prevaile with conscience?
A30587What is more seasonable for divided times then uniting graces?
A30587What is the meaning of humanity, but courteousness, gentleness, pleasantness in our carriages one towards another?
A30587What shall I doe?
A30587What shall we do?
A30587What spirit is it that we professe our selves to be acted by when we are working for Religion?
A30587What sweet visits were there wo nt to be?
A30587What then followes?
A30587What then is our fraternity?
A30587What this people were in their divided condition, that we are; and what does this threaten, but that we should be as they a while after this were?
A30587What, this is your conscience?
A30587What?
A30587What?
A30587What?
A30587When did you ever know a wrangling contentious Minister( though his gifts were never so excellent) do good amongst his people?
A30587When the Turks have prevailed over Christians, do not all stories tell us it hath been through the divisions of Christians?
A30587Whence are wars and fighting amongst you?
A30587Whence come they?
A30587Where is there that opening of secrets one to another as formerly?
A30587Wherefore First, by these Divisions men may come to see the vilenesse and the vanity of their own hearts: what were the thoughts of men heretofore?
A30587Who can meddle with this fire that is kindled among us, and not burn his fingers?
A30587Who can read that short but sowre History of the troubles at Frankford, but his heart must needs bleed within him?
A30587Who can stand before envy?
A30587Why are you dismembred in your hearts and your opinions?
A30587Why doe you seek to strengthen your selves by stirring up vile men to joyne with you, such as heretofore your hearts were opposite to?
A30587Why doest thou not reason thus with thy spirit?
A30587Why halt ye between two opinions?
A30587Why may not a loving winning carriage do as much as severe rigid violence?
A30587Why may not heavenly hearts change the very nature of these sowre brinish things, and make them sweet to themselves and others?
A30587Why should a man labour and toyle till he sweats again, to take up a pin?
A30587Why should our divisions cause u ● to call off one another, seeing our divisions from God hath not provoked him to cast us off?
A30587Why should we let the strength of our spirits run waste?
A30587Why should we not then keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace?
A30587Why so?
A30587Why, what then?
A30587Why?
A30587Why?
A30587YOu will say, Are workes of zeale any helps to peace and union?
A30587Yet were this Question put to some of us, Whence are all our divisions?
A30587You begin to make a stirre, but can you give account of it?
A30587You wil say, How could it then endure the heat of the oven?
A30587You will say, How can that be?
A30587You will say, These were wo nt to be very entire friends, how came they to break?
A30587You will say, What evills would Christ have punished, and what not?
A30587You will say, What if they care not for all this?
A30587You will say, What need that?
A30587Zoilus the common slanderer, being asked why he spake evil of such and such men?
A30587ad Spalatinum Non possun quin vehementissime commovear quotie, haec mala apud me reputo: quid agam?
A30587am not I about that which God hath called me to do?
A30587and although we hold not the seventh, yet there is an ingredient in the sixt, that hath in it the strength of the seventh?
A30587and did not one fashion us in the wombe?
A30587and is it not our case?
A30587and is not that a Dove- like spirit?
A30587and is this comely?
A30587and must this come from the City?
A30587and shall men of peace be at warre?
A30587and that nothing should be done for the restrayning any, but to aske them why they doe so, and to perswade them to doe otherwise?
A30587and what then is like to become of the publique?
A30587and yet the Lord hath owned us: Why should not we own our Brethren, notwithstanding their infirmities?
A30587any reference to Christ might perswade unity, but union with Christ as the members with the body, what heart can stand against the strength of this?
A30587are these the Sheep of Christ, whom I see to consume away in their miserable burning?
A30587are they not hence, even from your lusts?
A30587are we stronger then he?
A30587as fire- brands plucked out of the fire, and now they seeke to fire those who plucked them out; but if this be too hot, what will you call them?
A30587aut non me ● inisti alium nobis esse Imperatorem te superiorem?
A30587be mercifull then: would you be commended?
A30587bestow benefits then: would you have mercy?
A30587by what should we judg a man to be obstiate?
A30587canum rabies?
A30587commend others: would you be loved?
A30587cruenta sevitia bestiarum?
A30587did we not then acknowledg that it were righteous with God because of our divisions, to give us up as a prey to our adversarie ●?
A30587do you thinke this is pleasing to your Father?
A30587doe we not agree in things enough, wherein we may all the dayes of our lives spend all the strength we have in glorifying God together?
A30587doe you not feare to bring those feet of yours, polluted with the blood of innocents, into this holy place?
A30587dost thou not pray for thy self and for him, Lord lead us not into temptation?
A30587dost thou see that this will be a temptation to thy brother, and wilt thou lay it before him?
A30587for we wilfully make our selves miserable; if men will undoe themselves, who can helpe it?
A30587hast thou not said that they shall serve thee with one shoulder?
A30587hath not one God created us?
A30587have they stronger bonds of union then we?
A30587he did not take notice of your passing by him; is it not thus often with your selfe in respect of others?
A30587how did it please them at the heart if they could meet with any thing that might serve their turne?
A30587how might the honour of Christ have been advanced high amongst us before this day?
A30587how uncomely will this be?
A30587if this be suffered, what desolation must needs follow?
A30587is it better in regard of others, in regard of the publique, for the helping me in all my relations?
A30587is it not from the generality of the men, over whom they have power?
A30587is it not in this?
A30587is it not possible that it may be thorough multitude of businesse in his head that you know not of?
A30587is it not the Spirit of God?
A30587is the same minde in us that was in Christ Jesus?
A30587it is not about mens stretching their power beyond their line both in State and Church?
A30587may be not preach Jesus Christ to poor ignorant creatures?
A30587may wee not doe them then?
A30587of such parts, such approved abilities, so endued by God to doe some eminent service, be laid aside, and no body regard me?
A30587or doe you not remember we have another Emperour above you?
A30587or to stretch forth those hands of yours, wet, yea dropping with blood, to take the most holy body of the Lord?
A30587or what shall a man give in exchange for his soule?
A30587sayes he: How doth he now behave himself?
A30587shall every jealous spusitious conceit, every little difference, be enough to seperate us and that almost irreconcileably?
A30587surely our condition is very sad: Have we not cause to say, Lord let any burthen of the Ceremonial Law be laid upon our necks rather then this?
A30587taceam ne in tanta perturbatione publica, tantoque incendo, quod S ● tanas ex it wit?
A30587that Montanus turns, Nunquid desolatio, Buxtorfius translates num de industria; what on purpose?
A30587that which you have in your books, is it true?
A30587the thoughts, the counsels, contrivances, endeavours, ways of men, almost of all men, how are they divided?
A30587then all your affections?
A30587then all your offences?
A30587thus many answer to the truth of God that would take them off from what they are engaged in, but what shall I do for my credit that lyes engaged?
A30587vinenum lethale serpenium?
A30587w ht made him thus to aggravate the offence, but meerly the pride of his heart?
A30587was it a desolation that these three poor innocent men made, because they would not, nay, they could not do as this proud K. would have them?
A30587was it not because they were chained together?
A30587was it out of respect to Christ, that they were so unwilling it should be divided?
A30587we do not read of such things before Christs time; yet do you think this was a good argument why men should wish that Christ had never come?

A28890A rich Man is likewise esteem''d happy for his Riches; but what Labours does he not undergo to acquire them?
A28890All these Discords together, do they not make an Universal War?
A28890All these things, with a thousand others; do they not afford us sensible enough subjects to know and to love God?
A28890And above all, who could have formed the body of man so wonderfully shap''d, with so many different members?
A28890And asking her, if one might not receive honour, or suffer to be belov''d by men?
A28890And can any thing be more proper to verify that declaration of the choice of God?
A28890And did we believe in Life eternal, what would we not do to obtain it?
A28890And did we believe in the Resurrection of the Flesh, how could we love and esteem our flesh in a condition so miserable as that of this mortal Life?
A28890And did we believe the Communion of Saints, is it possible that every one should be so much wedded to his own Interest and Wealth?
A28890And do you not know that the Holy Spirit says l that all Men are Lyars?
A28890And has he not the same goodness since he can not change?
A28890And having ask''d her, from whence she came?
A28890And having ask''d her, if to be sav''d, one must suffer hunger and thirst, and all other things troublesome to the body?
A28890And having ask''d her, why she would not stay in one fixt place, since she was out of her own Country; and why she would not be known?

A28890And how should he be true in reprobating those of whom he sayes, that m his delight is to be with them since they are the Children of Men?
A28890And if God reveal his Secrets to Babes, s as he ordinarily does; who among the Christians would receive this Revelation?
A28890And if all these Members together do not make up a Church?
A28890And if he did not give us his Kingdom and his Treasures, from whom could we expect for Happiness?
A28890And if they have Friends to give them Money after they are come there?
A28890And if they have forsaken God who can uphold them any longer?
A28890And if we could not love God with any of these things?
A28890And if you be ignorant of all these Truths, by what Means shall you avoid their Snares?
A28890And in the Gospel- Law, how few have followed the Word of God?
A28890And in the Written Law how few also were abandoned to God?
A28890And is not this indirect Doctrine much worse than the direct, which no good Men would follow?
A28890And now, Sir, since we have had the Doctrin of the Gospel, what a small number n of Persons do you see who have remain''d constant in it?
A28890And on the contrary, how many are there who kill themselves by indiscreet Fastings, or other Penances, or the Neglect of necessary things?
A28890And on the contrary, how many wicked Christians are there besides the Turks, Jews, Heathens, and so many other Sects, who are Enemies of God?
A28890And seeing he wills that they Live, how could he create them for Reprobation; since there can never be any Contradiction in God?

A28890And what things he would teach us more than Jesus Christ has done?
A28890And, as for the Pride of Life, what does it put in us but a Blast of Wind?

A28890Are not you afraid, Sir, to do the same, when you will so much commend and excuse this Roman Church, which you may easily perceive to be corrupted?
A28890Are these Goods employed aright in the Service of God?
A28890Are we not his true Children, since he has said, f Let us make Man after our Likeness?
A28890As if he had said, Wherefore hast thou forsaken me?
A28890As to the first Question, Whether the opinion of St. Augustin and his Followers, is better than that of his Adversaries in this matter?
A28890As to the second point: whether it be in Confession that we must forgive seventy seven times?
A28890Beauty to the Moon?
A28890But what do we see in rhe use of this Sacrament, but the Sin of Lust and filthiness, people carrying more disorderly in it than the Brute Beasts?
A28890But who can discover it?
A28890But you must not ask God, how is it possible that each one is damn''d?

A28890Can God fail in his Promise?
A28890Can God, who created all Things for Man, deny him his Necessities, when he shall be resign''d to him?
A28890Can it ever be said, without Blasphemy, that a Man is Infallible, secing Infallibility appertains to God alone?
A28890Can that eternal wisdom be ignorant, that Learning was necessary for the government of his Church?
A28890Can these two contrary senses come from the same God?
A28890Can they live for ever without entring into the Kingdom of Heaven?
A28890Can this be evil, or impossible to be observed, as you have affirm''d to me?
A28890Can we conclude that all these things which seem to be holy, are withal good, since they have produced so many bad effects?
A28890Can we in good Reason deny a Person what belongs to him in property?
A28890Can we wish that God had done us this Injustice to deny us our Free- will, since there was a necessity he should give it to some?
A28890Can you doubt that there is at present a Treasure hid in the Earth, which begins to be discovered?
A28890Can you yet doubt, Sir, that Jesus Christ shall reign upon Earth, seeing it is a just and necessary thing?
A28890Consider a little, Sir, wherein you shall find the Likeness of God in Man?
A28890Consider, Sir, how far Men are now from observing the Ordinances of God?
A28890Cou''d Rigour be introduc''d into the Church to make Meekness be observed there?
A28890Could God do more to Man than to let him rule over all Things, provided only that he would always acknowledge the Dependance that he had upon his God?

A28890Could it be possible that God should have created us for Ends so miserable as what we possess in this World?
A28890Could there be any thing to be added to the excellent Work of such a Master?
A28890Could they Desire their Deliverance at so dear a Price as the Passion and the Death of Jesus Christ?
A28890Could we also live in Luxury, when God chose a Virgin for his own Mother?
A28890Could we always pray to be delivered from Evil, without ever obtaining it?
A28890Could we follow a Carnal Church, seeing she is altogether Spiritual, engendred in the Body of Jesus Christ by the operation of the holy Spirit?
A28890Do you believe, Sir, that it will not be thus with Christians and all the World now?
A28890Do you not palpably feel, Sir, what evident Perils there are in the Administration of those Sacraments, after the manner they are used at present?
A28890Do you not see that all things are frail, upon which there is no leaning?
A28890Do you not see, Sir, that all order of Justice is renvers''d, and that there is more regard of doing Justly before Men, than before God?

A28890Does not this Doctrine oppose that of Jesus Christ?
A28890Does this seem difficult to you, Sir, that you doubt you can not attain to it?

A28890For could God have done more than he has done to save us?
A28890For how could the Stars fall from Heaven, since the Mathematicians tell us, that one Star alone is seven times greater than all the Earth?
A28890For if a Woman bow, or a Man be discovered in our Presence, what does that give us?
A28890For if he sin through Carnal Lust, he will say, wherefore has God given me this Natural Inclination, by which I am led to sin?

A28890Is he not the same God still?
A28890Is it a Wonder that I told you formerly, that no body could be saved after the way that Men live at present?
A28890Is it a wonder that the Judgment is near, when we see that all Men have abandoned their God?
A28890Is it impossible to be in the world without killing, robbing, committing adultery, and the rest?
A28890Is it not a very Reasonable Thing that a Creature should abide in Dependance on its Creatour?
A28890Is it not enough that we have forsaken him to cleave to our selves, and are become Idolaters of our own Inclinations?
A28890Is it not fit that they endure Hunger who think of nothing but of filling themselves?
A28890Is it not fit, Sir, that these things be one day repaired, and that God be worshipped in Spirit and in Truth, by his Creatures?
A28890Is it not sad, Sir, that Men now are so far from this One Thing necessary, and that they are subjected to so many several Laws by their sins?
A28890Is it not said somewhere, f Wo to the Man that puts his Confidence in Man?
A28890Is it not therefore more easie to abandon all, and to entertain our selves only with God, than to undergo the Yoke of a Human or of a Sinful Life?
A28890Is it not time that he likewise abandon them?
A28890Is not all this before God reckoned the same evil?
A28890Is not he the absolute Lord of all things?
A28890Is not this a sure Mark to discern false Prophets from the true?
A28890Is not this a sweet Exercise, upon which notwithstanding our Salvation depends?
A28890Is not this a very dangerous thing?
A28890Is not this to mock God, to make false Promises to him, which we have no Mind to keep?
A28890Is the invention and wise foresight of these men, more perfect than the ordinance and doing of God?
A28890Is there any of never so little Reason who call in question whether to be saved we ought necessarily to depend upon God?
A28890Is there any reason, how little soever it be, that is not led to love a God, so lovely as he renders himself by the sole government of his creatures?
A28890Is there any thing meaner, weaker and more contemptible in the esteem of the World, in the matters of Doctrin than a Maid?
A28890Is there not need of Natural Things to make our Body suffer, which are likewise Natural?
A28890Is this capable of our Love?
A28890It is a joyful Life to think on it, what Joy must it be to possess it?
A28890It is of this great Diversity that Jesus Christ said d, Do you see all these things?
A28890It might say with Reason, Wherefore hast thou created me to damn me?
A28890It seems they contradict themselves in this distraction, for can that which has no faith be incorruptible as to faith?
A28890Jesus Christ can he lie, and make all who have abandon''d all for his sake, to be afterward in want of things necessary?
A28890Let us go to the Country where the Christians live?
A28890Lights to the Stars?
A28890Man having forsaken his God, from whom can he expect Salvation?
A28890May not holy things be done in holy times?
A28890Must God declare to them by Writ the Obligation they have to subject their Wills to his?
A28890Must he not after his Sin have had the same Divine Soul and Free- will as before i?
A28890Must he not also to make the same Accomplishment r take away the Sins of the World?
A28890Must he say precisely, that he would have Man to submit his Will to his?
A28890Must he then not chastise them if he love Righteousness?
A28890Must not one be very ill advised to amuse himself with these Nothings, and lose those things of so great Value?
A28890Must not the Reprobation of Men of necessity come from their evil Will?
A28890Must not this Alliance be made upon Earth?
A28890Must there be Constraints and Commands to oblige it to a Duty so just, so good, and advantagious?
A28890Must there not a Time come wherein that he may fulfil his Word, he will draw all in general to him?
A28890Must there not be a lie in the one or the other of these two contrary things?
A28890Must there not be many deceived at Death?
A28890Must there not come a time when he will take away all the Sins of the World?
A28890Must ▪ not a Man be come to the highest degree of Folly, to set his Affections on things so frail, as to be in one Day reduc''d into the Dung- Hill?
A28890Now would you go to ask Counsel of any Man, when Jesus Christ has given you his?
A28890Or if he give more to one than to another?
A28890Ought not Sir, all these things to be re- established?
A28890Ought we for this to desire that he had not bestowed these Graces on Man?
A28890She always ask''d again, Where was the Land of the Christians?
A28890She replied; And I doubt, Sir, if one can be saved in it, since she is not governed by the Spirit of God, how can she guide any to Salvation?
A28890She said with Joy: Sir, How happy will you be to abandon all?
A28890She said: Sir, Do you not c perceive that we are abandon''d to the Spirit of Error?
A28890She said: Sir, What will it avail to set the Light upon a Candlestick, when those who are present will shut their Eyes that they may not see it?
A28890She said; Sir, do you love flattering Discourses more than the Truth?
A28890She said; Sir, do you not see that these Vows are not well observ''d?
A28890She says: Sir, Do not teach any Body until you have found Communion with God: For how can you give to another what you do not possess your self?
A28890Should I study Sir, to please Men or God?
A28890Should not all these Persons be saved after they have been in Heart and Affection consecrated unto God?
A28890Should the Pope be a greater Judge to condemn those who observ''d the Law of God, because they did not depend on him?
A28890St. Peter asks, how often he shall pardon his brother who offended him?
A28890That Evils are conceiv''d without Fear, and brought forth without Reprehension?
A28890That God, who h tries the Reins, would he not save them, for not having observed this outward Formality, which is done in the sight of Men?
A28890That Lying prevails, and d that Truth is opprest?
A28890That Men e promise themselves Peace and Security in the midst of such evident Perils?
A28890That no body lives conformably to his belief?
A28890That the Conversion of Men is now desperate, as in the time of Noah; and wherefore?
A28890That the Just g is punish''d as guilty, and the Guilty supported and defended?
A28890That there is f no longer Righteousness nor Sincerity or Fidelity among Men?
A28890That there is no longer h neither Faith nor Law among Christians, and that they live in a Neglect of God and of their Salvation?
A28890That they place faith only in Words, as I have told you formerly?
A28890The Angels who were such excellent Heavenly Creatures, are they not become most infamous Devils?
A28890The Body has here suffered with the Soul: Is it not just that it should rejoyce also with it?
A28890The daily food of our body, does it not all come from God?
A28890The first Precept that God gave Man, was to make him know the state of his Soul, asking him, Where art thou?
A28890There would be no proportion there, and if Likeness beget Love, how could a being so vastly different be united in Affection?
A28890Therefore he appeared visibly to St. Paul, by some Light, and made him blind, asking him, wherefore he persecured him?
A28890This Great God could he demand less of a silly Worm of the Earth, than the Acknowledgment of Dependance upon its God?
A28890This I could hardly understand, saying to her, if an Angel from Heaven would be a hindrance to you, how dare we speak to you any more to hinder you?
A28890This Word p has created Heaven and Earth of nothing ▪ How should it not give Life unto the Soul which receives it?
A28890This being most true, how is it possible that any can be sav''d, while they do not follow in any thing what he has taught us?
A28890This being so, Sir, you must ask Men, each one in particular, how is it possible that they damn themselves?
A28890This being so, why should we attribute the Loss of our Salvation, or the not amending of our Lives, to the want of Gods Grace?
A28890Those who had the Will to follow Jesus Christ perfectly, should they have been damned for not having receiv''d the outward Sign of Baptism?
A28890To what is Man come, that silly Worm of the Earth, who would give orders to so wise and powerful a God?
A28890To whom then shall the Holy Spirit address to spread his Light upon the Earth?
A28890We ask''d her for what reason we ought to believe a thing so abominable?
A28890We ask''d her wherein true Humility consists?
A28890We ask''d her, if it was therefore necessary that every one should leave their Country to be sav''d?
A28890We ask''d her, wherein true Perfection did consist?
A28890We see this with our Natural Eyes; how much more firmly ought we to believe that he is in our Soul, which is Divine and Incomprehensible?
A28890Were it possible that we would build Houses, and make so many other settlements as we do on Earth, as if it were our abiding City?
A28890What Argument will they bring yet in the Dispute about Grace after so clear and convincing Reasons?
A28890What Care must he take to provide for all that maintain him in Honour, fearing lest he fall into any Disgrace or Contempt?
A28890What Marks there are whereby to know her, that I may not be deceived?
A28890What Pain is there in doing Evil?
A28890What Weakness of Spirit is it, to feel a Repugnance to renounce a Thing so wicked, under frivolous Perswasions that she is Holy?
A28890What a could be wanting in the Doctrine of Jesus Christ that other things must be added to it?
A28890What a poor Stay of all our Hopes?
A28890What a silly Business have we aim''d at?
A28890What artifice could keep the Globe of the Earth among the Waters?
A28890What can be ascribed to the Creature, since it has s nothing ▪ that it has not received of God?
A28890What can be ascribed to the Creature, since it is come of nothing, and can do no good thing without God?
A28890What can give splendour to the Sun?
A28890What greater Evil can be expected?
A28890What ground of rejoycing to see him Imprisoned and Accused as a Malefactor?
A28890What is wanting to you therefore to be able to love with all your heart?
A28890What more certain Marks can we have?
A28890What more particular Grace could be given him than to let him enjoy his Free- will after his Sin?
A28890What more sure marks would you have than those which Jesus Christ himself has declar''d to us should precede the Judgment?
A28890What need is there after this to inform our selves how God gives these Graces?
A28890What needs disputing whether these Graces are given now, or if they have continued with us since Adam?
A28890What remedy can there be for their evils, since they seek not to be healed, because they are insensible of them, as they would be of a Leprosie?
A28890What, could these be saved without observing so much as one of these Commands of the Church?
A28890When the Apostles ask''d Jesus Christ, when these things, which Jesus Christ had told them, should come to pass?
A28890Where could you find better?
A28890Where is the man living who can comprehend what God is, and in what place he abides?
A28890Where is their place for disputing to know whether Man can save himself, since he is nothing u, and has nothing x that he has not received?
A28890Where it is: Where not?
A28890Where then would you seek the Church and the Kingdom of Heaven but in the Centre of your Soul?
A28890Wherefore then will you believe things because Men say them?
A28890Wherein then can it be said that God has made Man like to himself?
A28890Whether the Church can Err?
A28890Whether the Church can err?
A28890Which can not be found in God, who is always just as well as always good, and never favours any out of Preference?
A28890Who can be ignorant of his infinite wisdom, while he looks upon the Creation, and the upholding of this great Universe?
A28890Who can be ignorant of that Incomprehensible Goodness, while he receives every moment the effects of it?
A28890Who can have made the birds of the air, the beasts of the earth and of the sea, in so many different kinds?
A28890Who can make a tree, a fruit, a flower, a plant of so many different herbs?
A28890Who can say therefore, that we do not see nor feel God as we do the creatures?
A28890Who can say, that he does not continually perceive God operating in him, and doing him infinite good?
A28890Who does not feel that he has not in himself any power, if it be not given from a supream power which we do not know?
A28890Who does not perceive the Heart of those Persons puffed up, because they have the Name of Saints or vertuous Ones?
A28890Who does not see that our judgments are deceived, and that we would by them blame God for our own faults?
A28890Who is there now a- days that hears his Word, and acts according to it?
A28890Who that understands me aright can doubt that I speak the Truth?
A28890Who will shew me these Souls?
A28890Whose Wife she should be of the seven at the Resurrection?
A28890Why should they who have studied to defend this Church, say, that People can not marry in Lent or Advent?
A28890Why then should not God come upon Earth to dwell with them, seeing they can not go where God is, in that purity of Spirit?
A28890Why then should they forbid to receive other Interpretations than those which the holy Fathers in past times have received?
A28890Will not this then be a Paradise of all the universal World?
A28890Wou''d you have a Holy Spirit visible and carnal?
A28890Would God amuse himself for a little profit?
A28890Would God be merciful if he should pardon us, or be appeased in such a case?
A28890Would he thus let such grievous Accidents fall out Without his Permission?
A28890Would it be just that God should take from Kings the Power to make War, and permit it to private Persons?
A28890Would it have been worth the pains to have made the Sun, the Moon, the Stars, and all the Elements, that they might remain for so small a time?
A28890Would not this withdraw our affections from the Earth, through the hope of ascending unto Heaven with Jesus Christ?
A28890Would we not endeavour to love Virginity, since God has so much esteem''d it?
A28890Would you make more reckoning of it if this were written upon Paper, or carved on a Stone, than if it were engraven in our t Heart?
A28890Would you refer what concerns the Salvation and Perfection of your own Soul to their Judgments?
A28890Would you yet hold her for the Holy Church since the Devil q has plac''d his Throne in her?
A28890Would you, Sir, Pray, and do Penance, that Jesus Christ may not reign?
A28890Would you, Sir, esteem more the Honour of the World, or your acquired Sciences, than the Kingdom of Heaven?
A28890You might ask me, from whence it comes that all these Creatures are become Evil, seeing they were created so good and perfect?
A28890and how could he render it in a Spiritual Paradise, as they make us believe?
A28890and if I ought to have an ill Opinion of all?
A28890are not all these preventing Graces?
A28890as they have perswaded all those which declare such Truths; since all that Jesus Christ did while he was upon Earth, was to give us an Example?
A28890could he have instructed us more plainly?
A28890how I might discover them from the true ones?
A28890if I should distribute them to the Poor, or to Churches, or rather to religious Convents?
A28890o Or what Cares or Disquiets to preserve them?
A28890to which they reply''d; and whither shall we go Lord?
A28890what must I do to find thee again?
A28890what shall I do to fulfil thy Will?
A28890what shall I do?
A28890what would''st thou have me to do to be well- pleasing in thy Sight?
A28890where art thou?
A28890y If the Salt have lost its savour, wherewith shall the flesh be salted?
A47591& c. Was it in his Mind that Infants should be baptized, and yet say nothing of it, because it was a common Custom and Practice among the Jews?
A47591''T is strange the Apostles should preach to little Children, o ● … er Christ to them, what preach Christ to the Infant in the Cradle?
A47591( You say) God can easily give holy Qualities to the Souls of Children: Can not God restore his own Image to little Children?
A47591( for that he did not) and shall we attempt to baptize them, as if we were wiser than he?
A47591( i. e. one Wife) yet he had the residue of the Spirit; and wherefore one?
A47591( say you) that Rebecca went down into the Well, Does it follow that she was plunged in it?
A475911, 2. and was not Circumcision then in full force too, and so abode till Christ took it away by nailing it with all other Jewish Rites to his Cross?
A4759111, 12, 13. and will any Man, says he, yea will Paul ascribe all this to those that did not so much as profess the things signified?
A4759111. and will he not care for his Lambs and Weaklings of his Flock?
A4759113. before we Believed, this was our Condition, and are not our Children naturally in this state?
A4759113?
A4759116. and how is that Covenant a ground of strong Consolation to all the Heirs of the Promise?
A4759118. and doth not this open likewise a Door to any other like innovation?
A4759119. where sprinkling is mentioned?
A475914. Who gave Men power to change his Commission, Baptizing into Rantizing or Sprinkling?
A475914. for the Promises of God belonged to them; but if the Covenant be shortened in Privileges, how is it a better Covenant?
A475915. and is not the Promise sure to all the seed?
A475916,& c. But, say you, if the Children of the Faithful are excluded from the Covenant, then the Covenant is worse, and not a better Covenant?
A47591Also where are Infants excluded from the Lord''s- Table?
A47591Also who of us could say when our Servant- Maid went to draw Water, or fetch Water from a River, she went into the River?
A47591And are not you in Union with that Church, and all Churches that own Infant Baptism in the World?
A47591And can it be thought he refused little Children?
A47591And did he make one?
A47591And did not Christ by his Disciples baptize many Persons, nay more Disciples than John?
A47591And doth not St. Paul assert the same thing?
A47591And has God made such a Covenant with you, or with any Believer now?
A47591And how came Baptism to have such power in it?
A47591And if so, why dare any now a days admit of Infants, who are uncapable to make profession?
A47591And if this be considered, what doth this Text do to prove the Natural Seed of Believers, as such, are in the Gospel- Covenant?
A47591And if this be so, wo to the poor Babes of unbelievers, must they be all Damned?
A47591And shall the Church refuse to receive all such into her Imbraces?
A47591And to these Customs the Apostle alludes, when he says, How shall we that are dead to Sin, live any longer therein?
A47591And why this Privilege only?
A47591And will any Man,( saith he,) yea will Paul, ascribe all this to those that did not profess the things signified, or the necessary Condition?
A47591And with shame you may speak it, unless you had Authority to Christ so to do: Who hath required this thing 〈 ◊ 〉 our Hands?
A47591Another may say, what Sin have our Sons committed, that this great priviledge is denyed them, since Christ came?
A47591Are Infants capable to hear the Word, and partake of the Sacraments?
A47591Are Infants fruitful to Christ?
A47591Are Infants of Believers, as such, the Seed of Christ, and in the Covenant of Grace?
A47591Are all the Infants of Believers given unto Christ, and so not of this World?
A47591Are all their Children elected, and none but theirs?
A47591Are his Bowels straitned towards them?
A47591Are not all Men in the VVorld, especially where the Gospel is preached, in or under the outward Dispensation of the Gospel, or Covenant of Grace?
A47591Are not all the infants of Believers regenerated, and in Covenant with God?
A47591Are not many Children of Unbelievers elected?
A47591Are not the Saints to be all Volunteers?
A47591Are not they and all others told, that old things are passed away, and all things are become new?
A47591Are not we and our Children distinct Persons?
A47591Are our Infants Lambs in Christ''s Fold, or feeble and afflicted Christians in Christ''s Spiritual Family?
A47591Are there not many Children of Unbelievers elected?
A47591Are they little Infants that Promise refers to, i. e. Thy Children shall be all taught of God?
A47591Are they not Spiritual Blessings?
A47591Are you an Arminian?
A47591As if he had said, If there be no Resurrection, why are we baptized?
A47591As to your second Reason, Do all the Children of Believers that die go to Heaven?
A47591Baptism washes not away the filth of the Flesh; Or is not Original Pollution a filth of the Flesh?
A47591Baptism?
A47591Because he can not prove Infant Baptism from Arguments from Heaven will he go for Arguments to prove it to be Christs Ordinance taken from Hell?
A47591Because you know not upon when the Election falleth, it is the Will of God that you should baptize all that are under the Promise?
A47591Besides, Do you think it never rained upon the ● … ites before they passed through the Sea?
A47591Besides, did not the same Fathers hold other Errors?
A47591Besides, the Baptismal Vow you brought them under being not by God''s Appointment, what Blessing can you expect from thence?
A47591Besides, was Baptism to be preached or practised by none but the Jewish People?
A47591Besides, we see they never mind nor regard their Covenant in the case; and will not God one day say, who has required these things at your hands?
A47591Brethren, Can any think that Abraham could purchase Men with Money, and that way bring them into the Covenant of Grace?
A47591But Sir, by what Authority do you assert all these things?
A47591But alas, how few are there of that sort?
A47591But can any think this Promise is limited to the Carnal Seed of Believers or runs so?
A47591But do you baptize no Children of Believers but such that die?
A47591But doth Baptism therefore belong to them all?
A47591But doth Mr. Owen think, that all the Children of the Faithful, as such, are the Seed or Children of the Second- Adam?
A47591But how can you prove Baptism washes your Infants from Sin?
A47591But how do they prove it?
A47591But how will it appear that they( i. e. that Children) are holy, say you?
A47591But is it so indeed, did our Saviour say nothing of Infant Baptism?
A47591But is not this next to Blasphemy?
A47591But now can the Infant- Seed of Believers, as such, be said to be the Seed of Abraham in any of these four respects?
A47591But now, because there were so many Additions of the Gospel- Promise and new Covenant, are there so many new Covenants?
A47591But since he speaks the quite contrary, who shall we believe, you, or the great Apostle of the Gentiles?
A47591But the Rabbins upheld Joshua''s Side, and what Wonder was it?
A47591But the worst is behind, who is it you cast this reproach upon?
A47591But well saith Tertullian, Is it lawful because''t is not forbidden?
A47591But were not the Beasts and the Fowls baptized and saved by the Ark as well as Noah and his Children, and his Son Cham?
A47591But what Root?
A47591But what is the purport of this Argument of yours for Infant- Baptism?
A47591But what is this to their Children, as such, or to the positive Right any of our Infants have to Baptism?
A47591But what of this?
A47591But what stress do you lay upon Baptism?
A47591But, Sir, is the Gospel Covenant worse than that Legal Covenant, because we and our Children have not such Promises and external Privileges?
A47591But, Sir, what''s this to the Business?
A47591But, pray, what must the Gentiles do to know this to be their Duty?
A47591But, what tho?
A47591Ca n''t you take a Woman dressed in modest and decent Cloaths by the Hand, without having an unclean thought in your Heart?
A47591Can Baptism save them, And is it so indeed?
A47591Can God be glorified by Man''s Disobedience, or by adding to his Word; by doing that which God hath not required?
A47591Can Infant Baptism be more useful then that of Believers, and yet Baptism an Ordinance of the Souls Marriage with Christ?
A47591Can Infant Baptism be more useful then that of Believers, and yet Baptism call''d the Answer of a good Conscience?
A47591Can Infant Baptism be more useful then that of Believers?
A47591Can Infants be willing?
A47591Can Infants do that?
A47591Can Parents by baptizing their Infants save them?
A47591Can a little Babe answer a good Conscience by being baptized in Obedience to Christ, and to shew forth his Death and Resurrection?
A47591Can an humane Rite or Tradition, think you, save poor Children, or a little Water sprinkled on the Face, wash away Original Sin?
A47591Can any Man forbid Water, that these should not be baptized?
A47591Can any Man in his right Wits think our Lord Jesus should confirm a Tradition and Innovation of the Jews?
A47591Can any Perish that are in the Covenant of Grace?
A47591Can not God save dying Infants unless they were included in the Covenant made with Abraham?
A47591Can such that are no more Strangers to God,& c. ever perish?
A47591Can that be an useful thing that frustrates the Sacred and Spiritual ends of Baptism?
A47591Can that be of any use to an Infant which you, nor no Man else can prove from Gods Word, to have any use and Blessing in it to them?
A47591Can that have any usefulness in it, that brings guilt upon the Parents in doing it, making them guilty of Will, Worship, or of a humane Tradition?
A47591Can they bring forth Twins?
A47591Can those that are the Children of the Covenant of Grace, cease to be such?
A47591Can those things for which you have made this division, justifie your Sel ● ● m?
A47591Can we suppose she carried her little Babes so far to Market?
A47591Can you be so ignorant as to affirm, this Covenant- Contract made with Abraham, was made with the Natural Seed of believing Gentiles?
A47591Certainly all may easily see it: Doth it not tend to prove that all ungodly and unbelieving Men and Women are to be baptized as well as Infants?
A47591Christ, no doubt, came to save some of all sorts of Men, and who doubts but he came to save Infants, and little ones, Young and Old?
A47591Command was to Males, and on the eighth day?
A47591Could Reverend Mr. Jones find no better a Pen to defend his Cause of Pedo- Baptism?
A47591Could they not go into the Water without plunging in it?
A47591D. Williams confirms Mr. Baxter''s Notion: Take his words, What doth the Covenant bind thee to( speaking of Infants Baptismal- Covenant)?
A47591Dare you add and diminish to God''s Word, nay alter Christ''s last Will and Testament in his grand Commission?
A47591Dare you affirm, that all Unbelievers Children that die are damned?
A47591Dare you invert, nay subvert the sacred Commission, and so make void the Command of God to uphold your own Tradition?
A47591Did Baptism confer Grace and Arm their Souls, it was something, but who dares assert that?
A47591Did ever any Man argue after this manner before?
A47591Did not John Baptist say, Think not to say within your selves we have Abraham to our Father?
A47591Did not our Lord Jesus Institute this Ordinance of Baptizing, i. e. of dipping the Bodies of Men and Women in water?
A47591Did not our Saviour command his Disciples to go into all Nations, and make Disciples, and baptize them?
A47591Did they preach Salvation to Believers, and to all their Children, as such, whether elected or not, called by the Word or Spirit, or not?
A47591Did this stumble them in the Apostolical Days, who were told that Circumcision availed nothing, nor Uncircumcision?
A47591Do not all the Children of God partake of God''s Divine Nature, and are not they all Heirs of God?
A47591Do we deny that the Promise of Pardon and of the holy Spirit doth belong to our Children or Off- spring that ● o believe, or are called by the Lord?
A47591Do you believe it?
A47591Do you cut off your Infants from the Covenant of Salvation, because you will not give them the Blood of the Covenant( I mean the Lord''s Supper)?
A47591Do you indeed own the Popish Church, or is not the Church of Rome in your Judgment, however part of the Body of Christ?
A47591Do you know they are all Elect Persons, and so such that God will in time call, give grace to, and so change their evil and depraved Natures?
A47591Do you not confess by the Order of the Words in the Commission, Teaching ought to go before Baptizing?
A47591Do you not place that Virtue in an external Rite, that only belongs to the Blood of Christ, and sanctifying Grace of God''s Spirit?
A47591Do you plead for final falling out of God''s Covenant, or from a State of t ● ue Grace?
A47591Do you think there was not need that Infant- Baptism should be mentioned in the Holy Scripture, had it been a Truth?
A47591Does Christ own Infants to be Subjects of his Kingdom, and yet did not baptize them?
A47591Does Christ, says he, own them for Subjects in his Kingdom, and shall we allow them no better standing than in the Devil''s Kingdom?
A47591Does God give himself, all he is, and all he has, to every Believer, and to all his Fleshly Seed?
A47591Dost thou not desire to be saved?
A47591Doth Baptism confer Grace?
A47591Doth Baptism wash away Original Corruption?
A47591Doth Christ say baptize, and so make them Disciples?
A47591Doth Christ( saith he) take Children into his Arms, and shall his Church cast them out of her Imbraces?
A47591Doth Mr. Owen think that we deny that any our Children have right to the Covenant of Grace?
A47591Doth he mean every individual Person, or some of all sorts, of Jews and Gentiles?
A47591Doth it follow, because many Thousands that were baptized( as you call it) when Infants, were after they come to Age truly converted?
A47591Doth it not belong to the Gentiles too?
A47591Doth not History tell us the Fathers used other Rites also, and that in Baptism?
A47591Doth not our blessed Saviour say that they had made void the Commandments of God through their Traditions?
A47591Doth not the Covenant and Promise to Adam run only to Christ Jesus, or referr to him, who is there meant by the Seed of the Woman?
A47591Doth that intend all universally?
A47591Doth the Constitution of the Spiritual Gospel- Church run as in Human and National Constitutions?
A47591Doth the baptizing of Infants make them Disciples?
A47591Doth your Baptism save your Infants?
A47591Et quid vobis visum est non post nos sed post trinitatem baptisma geminare?
A47591Find the Woman that had the Issue of Blood no Command no Example, nor no Promise to believe Christ would ● … er?
A47591First, If Persons may be said to be baptized when it rains upon them, How many times have you and I been so baptized?
A47591For this you must prove, or you say nothing; and how absurd would that be should you affirm any such thing?
A47591For what need had he to baptize himself, were there none called Anabaptists in Holland nor Germany before that time?
A47591Had God given the Jews any such Law or Precept?
A47591Had Lydia and her Family a right to Baptism because a Proselyte?
A47591Had it been the constant custom of the Godly to baptize Infants, would not these, think you, have been in their Infancy baptized?
A47591Had not Abraham an Ishmael, Isaac an Esau, and David an Absalom?
A47591Had they ever any ground of strong Consolation?
A47591Hath not God freely left us and our Children to choose to be his Servants, or to choose our Religion?
A47591Hath not God ways enough, and such that are sufficient to Oblidge our Children to die to Sin, and live a new Life?
A47591Have Infants, as such, Union with Christ?
A47591Have all their Children, or every one of them, Christ, Grace, Holiness here, and Glory and eternal Happiness hereafter?
A47591Have they kept their Vow and Covenant?
A47591Hence he says, What then?
A47591How are they broken off?
A47591How can it be an Evidence of Faith in Infants who are not capable to believe?
A47591How can water( saith Mr. Charnock) an external thing, work upon the Soul Physically?
A47591How can you make Baptism a Condition of Salvation to Infants who are no ways capable to answer it?
A47591How dare Men adventure, this being so, to change Baptism from Dipping into Sprinkling; and the Subject, from an Adult Believer, to an Ignorant Babe?
A47591How dare any Man Seal the Covenant of Salvation to such, who have not that Faith Abraham had, before he received that Seal?
A47591How doth God prevent them with blessings of Goodness, by your Rantizing them?
A47591How doth it appear the Infants of the Godly before Abraham''s time, had any Right to visible Church- Membership, or what Seal had they?
A47591How imperfect is my Brother Owen?
A47591How is it then that the Apostle Paul says, the Law is not of Faith; also the Covenant of Grace giveth Life?
A47591How little is the Institution of Christ, or Practice of the Primitive Churches minded by many good Men?
A47591How sanctified?
A47591How shall we that are dead to sin live any longer therein?
A47591How then could the dying Infants of the Godly, who lived before that Covenant was made with Abraham, be saved?
A47591However this Testimony is given only by Witches and Sorcerers, and what ground have we to believe them?
A47591I answer, Pagans and Infidels may be regenerated''t is possible, what can hinder God''s working upon their Hearts?
A47591I answer, are we not to be commended for not believing that to be a Truth, for which there is neither Command nor example?
A47591I answer, first, how inconsistent is this with the words of the Commission?
A47591I ask Mr. Owen how he can prove that the Seal of the Covenant of Grace doth belong to them who are only in the outward Dispensation of the Gospel?
A47591I could tell you of many evil and foul things and practices done by some Presbyterians, but should I brand the whole Brotherhood from thence?
A47591I know not whether you be of this Pedo- baptists mind, or not, but I think this Doctrine does not fit a Christian Catechism?
A47591I know the Papists assert it doth do this, but how do they or you prove it?
A47591I say again, Are all our Children in the Election of Grace, or doth Election run only in that Line?
A47591I will be a God to you Gentiles, but not to your Seed; is this Abraham''s Blessing, how unlike to it?
A47591I would know how they prove Baptism to be the Medicine appointed to cure the Soul of the Plague of Sin( or, as Mr. Owen says, for their Salvation)?
A47591If a Woman should sprinkle her foul Linen with a few drops of Water, would that be deem''d a washing of them?
A47591If all your Children have the Seal of the Covenant of Grace, or all the blessings thereof, sealed up to them, shall they not be all saved?
A47591If any should say why did you not cite these assertions of Mr. Baxters whilst he was living?
A47591If so, are they not holy also?
A47591If the Baptism of Infants be evil, why doth the Devil( say you) Tempt Witches or Sorcerers to deny that Baptism?
A47591If the Covenant of Grace God made with Adam, was also to all his Seed, How happy is the whole VVorld?
A47591If the Covenant of Grace was made with Adam, and his Natural Seed as such, will it not follow that he owns Universal Salvation?
A47591If this he so, your Cause is gone: How?
A47591If this you intend not, yet is every Believer a like common or publick Head to his natural Off- spring, as Adam was to his?
A47591If you insist not on internal priviledges nor on external priviledges, that are Sealed to Infants that are Baptized, what does their Baptism signifie?
A47591In a word, can they make the Child, or Children, to repent and truly believe in Jesus Christ?
A47591In some shallow Rivolets we daily see, that in some places the Water is deep, and might it not be so in that?
A47591In whose Authority and Power then must stand their Faith in this matter?
A47591Is Absolution and the Seal of it offered unto Infants, and do they refuse to receive it?
A47591Is Baptism Circumcision?
A47591Is he more unready to administer Spiritual Blessings, than he was in administring Temporal Blessings to the Children of the Faithful?
A47591Is it a Sin to cast off Mens inventions?
A47591Is it a great Sin to refuse to agree to the Covenant to which thy Baptism engaged thee?
A47591Is it a sin to divide from the Church of Rome, or from the Church of England, or not to continue of their Communion?
A47591Is it in the power of Parents to save or damn their Children?
A47591Is it not Go therefore, teach all Nations, baptizing them,& c.?
A47591Is it not Spiritual and Heart- Holiness?
A47591Is it not sad, that Men should give cause to their Children to think they are guilty of Perjury?
A47591Is it then a shameful scandal to neglect a Tradition of Man?
A47591Is it thus with your baptized Infants in respect of Original Sin?
A47591Is it upon us?
A47591Is not God''s Word to be our Rule in all Points of Faith and Practice to the End of the World?
A47591Is not that an everlasting Covenant, well ordered in all things and ● ● re?
A47591Is not the whole Mind of Jesus Christ, even all his Laws and Precepts, or his whole Counsel, plainly contained in his Blessed VVord?
A47591Is not this to blind the Eyes of the poor People, and make them think that an external Ordinance saves the Soul?
A47591Is not 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 à 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 Greek?
A47591Is their a necessity for it?
A47591Is there no hope therefore left us of the Salvation of our dying Infants?
A47591Is this an answer?
A47591Is this that Covenant confirm''d by the Oath of God, that gives you such strong Consolation touching your Infants, as such, as before you pleaded for?
A47591Is this the Blessing of Abraham that is come upon the Gentiles?
A47591Is this the Promise that belongs to the Faithful and their Children?
A47591Is this to act like a wise and learned Man?
A47591It is plain, say you, that Baptism belongeth to them that believe: but say you, how doth it appear that Baptism doth belong to the Seed of such?
A47591Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his Death?
A47591Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his Death?
A47591Know ye not, that so many of you that have been baptized into Christ, were baptized into his Death?
A47591May not the Papists say as well, that those Persons they bring under their voluntary Vows, are thereby Dedicated unto God?
A47591May not the Papists say to them also, Where do you read holy Water and holy Garments are forbid?
A47591May not we by your Argument baptize Unbelievers in whom no Grace appears, because we do not know how the Election runs?
A47591May the Children of God degenerate into Dogs, Wolves, and Vipers?
A47591May we baptize such therefore?
A47591Moreover, why do you speak of Persons being not willing to be baptized, when the Subject of Baptism you contend for is a poor ignorant Babe?
A47591Mourn O England and lament, sad is thy Case?
A47591Must God save all the Children of the First- Adam by the Obedience of the Second, because, if Adam had stood none of his Children had fallen?
A47591Must our Faith stand in the Wisdom of Men in this matter, or in the Power of God, and in the Authority of his Sacred Word?
A47591Must they have the same Rites and Privileges, and yet not the same?
A47591Must we all who deny Infant Baptism, be Condemned as utter cast aways, and not be lookt upon so much as Members of the Universal Church?
A47591Must we believe God''s Word, or a lying Traveller?
A47591Must we deny Original Sin, or own Infant- Baptism does cleanse from it?
A47591My Faith may be said to unite me to Christ; but doth it also unite my Child to Christ?
A47591Nay, may be they might say, they had not the other to do it, and therefore built their Altars of Brick: But would this Pretence do?
A47591Nay, more, be so bold as to say, these are more useful, and answer better the End of God, than those which he himself instituted?
A47591Nay, or that it was made to Abraham''s Spiritual Seed?
A47591Nevertheless, what saith the Scripture?
A47591No doubt but Christ is able to do it: But doth he in a secret way administer Instruction to Infants?
A47591No doubt but the Lord loved his Elect before they were born, even from Everlasting, but what of this?
A47591No, no, what saith the Almighty God?
A47591Now can this be a Truth, since Christ was more Faithful than Moses; and delivered every thing plainly from the Father?
A47591Now did not the Children partake of the Lord''s Supper, I mean that Typical Lord''s Supper?
A47591Now do all the Children of the Faithful come to Christ, and shall they all be saved?
A47591Now if I prove there were two Covenants made with Abraham, what is become of all you have said in respect of this matter?
A47591Now must this be a Covenant of Faith or Grace?
A47591Now to what purpose do you mention this Covenant, or the temporal Salvation of Noah''s Family in the Ark?
A47591Now what Arminianism is here fomented, if once you say or think, they are capable to perform this Obligation?
A47591Now what is the Sign without the Thing signified?
A47591Now( say they) is not this a pure Gospel- Phrase, and shews it to be a Covenant with Abraham in Christ?
A47591Now, Sir, was there any Person either young or old, before the Law or under the Law, thus baptized?
A47591O that God would appear and give you a better temper of Heart: Who is uncharitable now, if Charity be the Bond of perfectness?
A47591Or are they Dogs, and must be damned if their Parents baptize them not, and dare not do it because Christ hath not commanded them to baptize them?
A47591Or dare you say our New Testament is not authentick, or sufficient to teach us the whole of Gospel- Duties, and Obedience, without the Jewish Talmud?
A47591Or hath the Church or Ministers, power to alter Christ''s great Commission?
A47591Or have you any power to force, or compel your Children to be of what Perswasion in Religion you please?
A47591Or is it not upon Christ himself?
A47591Or is it not, make Disciples, and baptize them?
A47591Or might there not be a great Confluence of Water then,( as Dr. Hammond words it) and yet but little or shallow Water now, or when Sandys was there?
A47591Or take his great Ordinance of Baptism from the Superstitious, Fabulous and Erroneous Custom of their Doctors and Rabbins?
A47591Or was it not wholly done by the Power of God''s Word preached to them, through the mighty Power and Operations of the Holy Ghost upon their Souls?
A47591Or what Representation is there in that Act of a Resurrection?
A47591Or would Abraham have been circumcised himself, because in the Covenant of Grace, had he not received a positive Command so to be?
A47591Or, are they not to be justly blamed who jumble things so confusedly together?
A47591Or, is there any such Covenant- Head under the Gospel, save Jesus Christ alone?
A47591Ought not we to keep the Ordinances as they were first instituted and given to the Saints?
A47591Ought we not to believe( say you) for our Children, that Christ will receive them?
A47591Pray ask this Man what it is that Baptism seals to Infants?
A47591Pray, was that Custom among the Jews of baptizing Infants, when any of the Gentiles were admitted into the Jewish Church, commanded of God?
A47591Pray, what became of the Jews Female Infants, were they damned?
A47591Shall not a whole Believer be saved?
A47591Sir were not those Men and Women that were Baptized in the Apostolical times Dipped?
A47591Sir, Are all Believers Children in the Covenant of Grace?
A47591Sir, Is not Baptisin a Greek VVord?
A47591Sir, What think you now of the Testimony of the ancient Fathers, and of the practice of the Churches after the Apostles days?
A47591Sir, What think you now of your Jewish Custom of baptizing the Heathens, and their Children, who were admitted to their Church?
A47591Sir, Why dare you leave out part of the Words?
A47591Sir, are not these part of the Nations?
A47591Sir, are the Infants of Believers near one half part of the Nations?
A47591Sir, no doubt elect Infants that die have Union with Christ in a way we are ignorant of, but what is this to the Infants of Believers as such?
A47591Sir, what is become of your sprinkling of Cups, Pots and Brazen Vessels among the Jews, when''t is said they washed or baptized them?
A47591Sirs, who hath required this at your Hands?
A47591Speak, Doth Baptism take away Original sin, or free them from that Malady or not?
A47591That Children were baptized into the Covenant under the Law; What Pedo- baptist ever asserted this before?
A47591That in the Primitive Times, when the Gospel was first preached and?
A47591That that blessed work of Grace upon their Hearts was by virtue of their Infant- Baptism, or from any Motive that arose from thence?
A47591The Minor is undeniable: Was not Baptism in full force from the time that John received it from Heaven, and administred it on the People?
A47591The truth is, if Circumcision availed nothing, but was a Yoke of Bondage, then why should that stumble them?
A47591Therefore we are buried with him in Baptism into his Death,& c. Else what shall they do that are baptized for the Dead, if the Dead rise not?
A47591Therefore you object, How can Children be bound to that which they are ignorant of?
A47591To contemn this Order( saith he) is to contemn the Rules of Order; for where can we find it if not here?
A47591To this you answer and say, How doth that follow?
A47591VVhat difference between Baptism and Baptisma?
A47591VVhat need of Consequences here?
A47591VVhat need we have VVine?
A47591VVhat of this?
A47591VVhy are not Men ashamed thus to go about to blind and deceive the poor People?
A47591VVill God own or bless an humane Tradition?
A47591VVill you confound the Use and End of one Sacrament with the other, to maintain your own Innovation and Abuse of Christ''s holy Baptism?
A47591Was not the Moral Law from the beginning?
A47591Was this the priviledge of any save Abraham only?
A47591We say the Papists call for Scripture where those things are forbid which they have among them, or when God cast them out of the Church?
A47591Were ever any Men thus bold before?
A47591Were it not thus, how could we deny or oppose the Papists seven Sacraments?
A47591Were there not many other Rites and Ordinances under the Law, or Old Testament, besides Circumcision?
A47591Were these such, think you, that ever were in the Covenant of Grace God ma ● e with Abraham?
A47591Were they in Covenant as they are the Natural Seed of Believers?
A47591Were they only the Children of Believers that Herod Murthered, how will you prove that?
A47591What Advantage then hath the Jew?
A47591What Covenant is it he means?
A47591What Credit is to be given to such Fathers?
A47591What Doctrine is this?
A47591What Figure of a Burial of Christ, or of the old Man is there in sprinkling a few drops of VVater on a Person''s Face?
A47591What Human Tradition may not be let into the Church at this Door?
A47591What Notions do you impose upon your unwary Readers?
A47591What a preposterous way of arguing is this of yours?
A47591What an abominable Innovation had he been guilty of should he have done this thing, which you seem posicively to affirm?
A47591What an account can you give to him of this at the great Day?
A47591What assurance can he give to Infants, or to their Parents that the Children they baptize shall be better Christians thereby?
A47591What difference is there between much VVater, and many Waters?
A47591What doth hinder me to be baptized?
A47591What doth this prove touching the Lawfulness of Infant- Baptism?
A47591What if I affirm, that no Ordinance succeeds in the room of Circumcision?
A47591What if I agree with the last, and say Abraham is the Root?
A47591What if a Child, thro the love of Sin, or vanity of Mind, will not agree to this Covenant?
A47591What is a simple external Profession good for, without true Grace and a saving Interest in Christ, and Assurance of Eternal Life?
A47591What is an Ordinance without the God of the Ordinance?
A47591What is required of Persons to be baptized?
A47591What is the Sign without the Thing signified?
A47591What is the difference between holy and sanctified?
A47591What more doth it serve to do than to blind and deceive the Souls of such external and carnal Professors?
A47591What need had there been for them so to have done, had Baptism been sprinkling?
A47591What signifies Federal External Holiness without true Spiritual Holiness?
A47591What stuff is this you would force upon us and the World?
A47591What then?
A47591What tho the Hebrew word signifies cleansing or washing with Water, was it therefore formally the Ordinance of Baptism?
A47591What tho the one be a Sacrament of Initiation, and the other of Confirmation?
A47591When God commanded Abraham to circumcise on the eighth day, did he not virtually forbid him to do it on the seventh or ninth day?
A47591When the Eunuch ask''d Philip, See, here is Water, what doth hinder me to be baptized?
A47591Where is the Immutability of God''s Counsel?
A47591Where is the Spirit of Reformation?
A47591Where is the extream ● unction forbid, or auricular Confession, or the use of Beads in Prayer, and a hundred more such Romish Fopperies?
A47591Where is the strong Consolation?
A47591Whether such as had Heathen and Infidel Wives ought to put them away with their Children, as in the days of Ezra?
A47591Whether the being the Children of Abraham, as such, gave them a right to Circumcision, or rather the meer positive Command of God to Abraham?
A47591Whether the believing Husband might live or cohabit with the unbelieving Wife?
A47591Whither will this lead you?
A47591Who commanded you this way to Dedicate your Children to the Lord?
A47591Who commanded you to baptize or dip Believers in the Name of the Father,& c. and you rantize or sprinkle Infants?
A47591Who tells you so?
A47591Who told you what you say is the sense of our Saviour?
A47591Why can not they receive a Blessing from him now, as in the days of his Flesh?
A47591Why do you not use Crossing in Baptism, nor Oyl nor Honey as the Papists do?
A47591Why do you say of no Right but this?
A47591Why doth Innocent Age hasten to the Remission of Sins?
A47591Why doth you not from hence give Infants also the Lord''s Supper?
A47591Why may we not give credit to the Papists, as well as unto Witches and Sorcerers?
A47591Why must not the Gentiles and their Children that are grafted in, as you suppose, in their room, receive all the Privileges as well as one or two?
A47591Why tempt ye God, to put a yoke on the necks of the Disciples?
A47591Why then are such not to be baptized, as well as the Children of the Faithful?
A47591Why then despisest thou one of the Means of Salvation?
A47591Why then do you baptize all, even such that have not the thing signified when baptized, nor ever after till they die?
A47591Why were they brought to Christ?
A47591Why?
A47591Will Baptism save your Infants?
A47591Will Christ accept of Prest- Souldiers into his Service?
A47591Will God own and bless a voluntary Vow, or approve of an Humane Tradition?
A47591Will Pedo- Baptists make Baptism their Saviour?
A47591Will you Teach the Almighty, or are you wiser than he?
A47591Will you be wiser than God?
A47591Will you charge the Holy Apostles, and all the Ministers of the Primitive Churches with Adultery?
A47591Will you direct the Almighty, or have Christ to bless an Human Invention?
A47591Will you exclude all from Salvation that are not Members of your Church?
A47591Will you say with the Old Erroneous Fathers, and Blind Papists, that Baptism washes away Original Sin?
A47591You argue as many 〈 ◊ 〉 have done before you, Children of Believers were once in Covenant, who dares be so bold as to say they are cast out?
A47591You may think that was no great Error, instead of Gold or Stone, to make Altars of Brick: but what saith God?
A47591You( say you) appeal to the Consciences of those that are rebaptized, is not the thing thus?
A47591actual Sin they have none: Doth it wash away Original Sin?
A47591and also of the Doctrine of final Perseverance?
A47591and are Infants able so to do?
A47591and are the Children they had when they were vile and wicked Persons, bad, nay so bad as they are to be counted Dogs?
A47591and do none of the Children of Unbelievers go thither?
A47591and if so, why not baptized as well as your Infants, by your Argument from hence?
A47591and is it not in English to dip?
A47591and is not that( as Mr. Baxter saith,) a strange Marriage, where there is nothing signified of consent?
A47591and that their Infants who die may go to Heaven, tho not circumcised, nor baptized?
A47591and were not those that were circumcised bound to keep the Moral as well as the Ceremonial Law?
A47591and what became of their Male Infants, who died before eight days old?
A47591but doth he need Man''s Supplements, shall man teach God?
A47591but what hope have the Impious, Prophane, and ungodly Parent of the Salvation of his dying Children?
A47591dare you say that?
A47591do not many of them live and prove ungodly when grown up, that you baptize?
A47591had not the Jews and their Children many other external Privileges besides Circumcision?
A47591how could they change their Apparel?
A47591how many of them do perish eternally?
A47591if not thus, how can it be Cruelty, yea Murder in Parents to deny the Application of Baptism to their Children( as Mr. Burkit says)?
A47591is not the case mended with us?
A47591is there no Salvation out of the Visible Church?
A47591is this Sin the damning Sin?
A47591nay of the Promises and Oath of God?
A47591or condemn Salt, Oil, Spittle to be used in Baptism, which they use in it, seeing these are not forbid?
A47591or have we no perfect Rule left us in the Gospel?
A47591or what Profit is there in Circumcision?
A47591or who made that a Channel of Grace to dying Infants?
A47591should you dictate to your Earthly Prince, would he allow it?

A26974And first, We must understand what it is that is distinguished: whether the Habit of faith, or the Acts?
A26974And how can that Law pronounce a man, or his action righteous, which curseth him, and condemneth him to Hell for that same Action?

A26974And if this be common to Hypocrites and Reprobates, what a case are we in then?
A26974And if you did not mean that these are conditions of Pardon, and Justification, when you say they are, who can understand you?
A26974And indeed what man denyeth it?
A26974And is it not Christs whole Law which is of force when he is dead, and called his Testament?

A26974And now was here a fit occasion to speak reproach fully of Paul, as extream ignorant, or unfaithful, or immanis sophista?

A26974And on the other side, whether it may not be of dangerous consequence, as injurious to Christ, to deny so great a part of his Dominion?

A26974And what Reference to Justification is it?
A26974And what Transient Act is it that God then and there puts forth or performeth?
A26974And what do the generality of our Divines mean, when they say that Faith and new Obedience are our conditions of the Covenant?
A26974And what do your defences do to justifie such dealing?
A26974And what is Presumption, if it be not this very faith which Divines call justifying?
A26974And what is the unwarrantable sense?

A26974And whether they stick in the air, and have all their Being first there, as Magyrus, and other Peripateticks?
A26974And which is the more clear, certain and safe?
A26974And which should you take to be indeed my sense?

A26974And why may not I with Dr. Preston, Mr. Wallis,& c. say it is an Acceptance, or consent, joyned with Assent?
A26974And why may we not say,[ A state of Sonship or salvation] as well as of Justification?
A26974And why might not Abraham be instanced in?
A26974And why speak you not of faith in one part of your comparison, as well as in the other?
A26974And why then may not we call it faith?
A26974And will you meet all these with your objections, and say,[ How shall I know when I have the full number?
A26974And yet do you think this too big to be essential to Christian Faith?
A26974And yet must we voluminously differ, when I have told you that I allow it?
A26974And yet will you say that faith or inherent righteousness is Legal and not Evangelical?
A26974Are not Knowledge, Words, Works, ours, by all which God saith, we are justified?
A26974Are these things doubtfull among Divines or Christians?
A26974Are we so well agreed, that you marvell at my supposition of this difference?
A26974As for your discourse, whether Paul disputes what is our Righteousness?
A26974At least do they not compound their Righteousness( as to the law of Works) partly of Christs satisfaction, and partly of their own Works?
A26974But I ask, if there be justifying works, how saith Paul true?
A26974But I wonder at his proof of his Sequel[ Because he who is ungodly is not legally righteous] what is that to the Question?
A26974But Paul doth not resolve there[ what is the Condition on which Christ makes over this Righteousness of his?]
A26974But are you indeed of the contrary opinion, and against that which you dispute against?
A26974But do you indeed think that when Paul excludeth the works of the Law, that he excludeth them only as Recipient?
A26974But do you not hereby confess that I give no more to works then you, but only less to faith?
A26974But do you think that Repentance is not necessarily Antecedent to Justification, as well as to Remission?
A26974But for works; How shall I know when I have the full number of them?
A26974But from what interest?
A26974But here is the question, Can a godly man dying, think the Righteousness of Christ is made his by working or believing?
A26974But if it be the Object that he meaneth, then what force or sense is there in his Argument, from the terms,[ Purposing, Intending, Confessing?]
A26974But if you do use it as a means, then what means is it?
A26974But if you mean not this simple apprehension( as sure you do not) then how is it possible to imagine the understanding should be passive in it?
A26974But if you will say so, what remedy But perhaps I intimate so much in my words; In what words?
A26974But if[ only] be here understood, really doth not this Brother desire to know Christ obeying, Christ risen, Christ teaching, ruling, interceding,& c?
A26974But in what sence James saith, we are justified by works, and not by Faith only?
A26974But is it Christ or the believer that you put in these various Relations?
A26974But is it not possible that it may cheat or deceive themselves, though some never utter it to the deceiving of others?
A26974But is this the state of the question with us?
A26974But now, on the other side, what inconvenience is there in the Doctrine of faith and justification as I deliver it?
A26974But the question is whether the Interest of the several acts of our faith be accordingly distinct?
A26974But to his Argument, I deny the consequence of the Major; and how is it proved?
A26974But was it possible for them to be justified without the blood of Christ?
A26974But what Condition?
A26974But what are those All things?
A26974But what condition?
A26974But what if I be mistaken in this point?
A26974But what if works and faith were both of them applyed to procure our Justification?
A26974But what if you had only said that Faith is morally passive, and not physically?
A26974But what is this to you?
A26974But what remedy?
A26974But what strange Arguments are these, that are such strangers still to the question?
A26974But why do you say only of Repentance that[ it is the condition of Remision] and of forgiving others, that[ it is the condition of entring into life?]
A26974But yet further, if Faith be passive Physically, let us find out first what is the Agent?
A26974But you ask[ If Christs righteousness be able to satisfie, what is the matter that it removeth not all our Evangelical failings?
A26974But your Doctrine, what Oedipus is able to unfold?
A26974But, saith he, to what purpose did Paul dispute against Justification by the works of the Law, If the Righteousness of faith were not sufficient?
A26974By what physical act of the Agent?
A26974By what physical contact faith doth receive this?
A26974Can I not tell you that your Argument is a Fallacy, but you will thus exclaim of me, as making you an Impostor?
A26974Can every poor man or woman reach to know what a passive Action, or a passive Passion, or a Passive Instrument is?
A26974Can he know that all shall work to him for good, though he know not whether he love God?
A26974Can no man but the Perfectly obedient, perform the condition of pardon in the Gospel?
A26974Can you find any lower place to give it?
A26974Can you tell?
A26974Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden,( Guilt is the great load:) But under what Notion will Christ be come to?
A26974Dare you tell any man of yout Hearers that though he have not so much as a Purpose to mend, yet he is justified by Faith?
A26974Did Christ expiate the sins, that by the Gospel men are obliged to punishment for?
A26974Did I ever deny that faith must eye and follow Christs death to bring us to God?
A26974Did ever man that writ of Philosophy once think that the soul did componere, dicidere, ratiocinari, judicare, patiendo& non agendo?
A26974Did not Abrahams Obedience, and other works flow from Grace?
A26974Did not each of these forsake that which by the former was accounted the good sound Definition?
A26974Did they ever tell you that this distinction is in them?
A26974Did we ever deny that Faith must be directed to Christ as Priest?
A26974Did you doubt of these?
A26974Did you ever see my Papers, or theirs?
A26974Digbyes Atomes or number of small bodies which are in perpetual motion?
A26974Do I ascribe any of Christs honour in the work to man?
A26974Do I call the duty, a work of the Law, because I say the Law condemneth the neglecters of it?
A26974Do I say any more then the Assembly saith in the preceding Question?
A26974Do you believe in your conscience, that Christ is presented and represented in the Supper only as dying?
A26974Do you believe this your self?
A26974Do you indeed think, that to be an efficient cause of our justification, and to be a bare condition, is all one?
A26974Do you not believe this?
A26974Do you not discern that the Question concerneth you and every man, as much as me?
A26974Do you not give up the Protestant cause here to the Papists in the point of certainty of salvation?
A26974Do you not see that it is against you?
A26974Do you not your selves call it fides formata charitate?
A26974Do you think he did?
A26974Do you think that I deny a godly life to be a comfortable testimony, and a necessary qualification of a man for pardon?
A26974Do you think that any of these do make the pardon to be of Debt, and not of Grace?
A26974Do you think that only the first instantaneous act of faith doth justifie, and no other after through the course of our lives?
A26974Do you think that the Law doth not threaten unbelievers, when the Gospel hath commanded faith?
A26974Do you verily believe that Repentance and Faith have no Interest in our Pardon, in sub- ordination to Christ?
A26974Does not every man that undergoes various relations, variously act according to them?
A26974Doth God every moment at a Court of Angels Declare each sinner in the world, remitted of his particular sin?
A26974Doth he that speaks of receiving a man to be our Husband, King, Master,& c. mean it of one only Act?
A26974Doth his Title cease as oft as he shuts his lips from saying, I thank you?
A26974Doth it intervene between Christ and the effect?
A26974Doth not Christ say, Take my yoak learn of me to be meek and lowly, that they may have ease and rest?
A26974Doth not the Apostle contradict you by expounding himself in the very next verse before those you cite?
A26974Doth that dishonour it?
A26974Doth the Doctrine of faith alone without Christ advance Grace?
A26974Doth the Gospel justifie us?
A26974Doth the first acceptance here serve turn for continuance of what is first received, without the following Homage and Fidelity?
A26974Doth[ Trusting him and Believing him] exclude a Resolution to obey his Directions and the future actual obedience?
A26974Ease and Rest?
A26974Else why may not they see it in it self?
A26974Enquire whether videre, audire, be only Grammatical Actions( as you call them) and natural passions?
A26974Ergo,& c. The Major is evident: What Saint dare say, that he hath a work that makes not the Reward of Grace, especially when it is a work of Grace?
A26974Even the performance of the Conditions on mans part?
A26974Even they that raise questions, what one act of faith doth justifie, whether of the Vnderstanding or Will?
A26974First you say, you exclude a co- operation effective, but why do we strive about words?
A26974First, Did ever any man deny the necessity of inherent Righteousness, that was called a Protestant?
A26974For how can they have any comfort that know not whether they are justified and shall be saved?
A26974For is not this all that Paul ayms at in speaking so oft of Faith in Relation to Christs death and Righteousness, rather then to his Government?
A26974For is that the state of the question with us?
A26974For to what purpose did Paul dispute against Justification by works of the Law, if the righteousness of Faith were not sufficient?
A26974For what Divine denyeth works to be a condition of Salvation, or of the final Justification?
A26974For what is our final Justification, but a Determination of the Question by publick sentence, on our side, Whether we have Right to salvation or not?
A26974For what should I do?
A26974For your question, How come the imperfections in our conditions to be pardoned?
A26974From what?
A26974Had I but delivered such a Doctrine as this, what should I have heard?
A26974Hath not God said?]
A26974Hath the Covenant of Grace( which promiseth Justification and Glorification) any condition on our parts, or none?
A26974Have not I ever yielded to you that all works are excluded from Justifying as works?
A26974Have you not Christs express words, that forgiving others is a condition of our Remission?
A26974He instances in Abrahams works, and excludes them: now were Abrahams works, works done by the meer strength of the Law?
A26974Here is causality, though improper; Here is a causa dispositiva: and yet shall I be blamed after I had removed Efficiency and Merit?
A26974His fifth Argument is, that[ These two Justifications overthrow each other: If by one we have peace with God, what need the other?
A26974His own received him not; What is that but they refused him?
A26974How can good works perfect our Justification, being themselves imperfect?]
A26974How can justifying faith qua talis in the act of Justifying, and Repentance, be reducible duties to the Law taken strictly?
A26974How could he have brought a plainer evidence against himself?
A26974How could you wink so hard as not to see that your Argument is as much against your self as me, if you do but turn it thus?
A26974How doth it receive it?
A26974How oft doth the Scripture expresly mention faith in our Lord Jesus Christ?
A26974How strangely is it painted?
A26974How then can you tell the world in print, that it seems I have met with a pack of Impostors, even them you mention?
A26974How then is Love the fruit of faith, and as Divines say, a consequent of Justification?
A26974How will they know when they Repent and Believe, when they have performed the full of these?
A26974How will you ever prove, that our Entering into Life, and our continued remission or Justification have not the same conditions?
A26974How would you have your Reader understand these two insinuations?
A26974I deny his Consequence: And how is it proved?
A26974I wonder that men should so little know the difference betwixt Earth and Heaven; a sinner in flesh, and a Saint that is equal to the Angels of God?
A26974I wonder what made you think me of such an opinion that I have so much wrote against?
A26974I would know 1. whether we are Guilty( not only facti, sed poenae) of every sin we commit?
A26974I would sain know what that is which you here call Faith, and say its passive?
A26974If God had not said[ He that believeth shall be justified and saved,] would Believing have done it?
A26974If Satan say, This man both deserved death by sining since he Believed( as David) must we not be justified from that Accusation?
A26974If faith should deserve the name of an instrument, when I think it is but a condition?
A26974If faith were such a Physical Passive( or Active) Instrument, whether that be the formal direct reason of its justifying?
A26974If he[ have not works, can faith save him?]
A26974If it be no cause of pardon; Is it a condition sine qua non, as to that manner of pardoning that your prayer doth intend?
A26974If it were, Whether that be the primary, formal Reason of its justifying vertue?
A26974If medii, then what medium is it?
A26974If of that, it s granted: but it s still denyed that perseverance is any of the Condition of our first pardon?
A26974If one righteousness may serve, may not Pilate and Simon Magus be justified, if no man be put to prove his part in it?
A26974If so, what hope of Justice?
A26974If the later, you might as well have said, the Socinians assert that there is a God, and so do we: But to what purpose?
A26974If we are Guilty, how can that consist with a justified state?
A26974If we must fulfill him ▪ why may not a dying man look on them?
A26974If you have, what place is it?
A26974If you say, What need you then dispute the point, if they deny it not whom you dispute with?
A26974Indeed if the Condition be never performed, then it destroyes or prevents the effect, and so the Instrument doth not agere: And why?
A26974Is Believing attributed to God, or is it an act of man?
A26974Is Love any part of the Condition of her Pardon and Dignity?
A26974Is Prayer any cause of Pardon?
A26974Is believing and trusting the Physitian some one single act, excluding all others?
A26974Is here any room for further disputing?
A26974Is it Christ himself that is physically received by faith?
A26974Is it a Passion?
A26974Is it a clear and profitable way of teaching to confound all these, under the general name of Covenant- breaking?
A26974Is it any danger to give less to faith then others, while I give no less to Christ?
A26974Is it fit to Dispute with such dealing as this?
A26974Is it harsh when yet you never once shew the fault of the Speech?
A26974Is it justice for you still to perswade the world that I mean some causality, though not efficiency?
A26974Is it meant they took him not in their hands, or received not his Person into their houses?
A26974Is it not a good Argument Negative, Abraham was not justified by works, therefore we are not?
A26974Is it not at all an Act therefore?
A26974Is it not safe when a man hath prerformed these conditions, to look on them either living or dying?
A26974Is it not this, whether the Gospel Righteousness be made ours, otherwise then by believing?
A26974Is it repent, and Christs Righteousness is by this made yours, and rest in Christ?
A26974Is it the Act of Faith?
A26974Is it the Habit?
A26974Is it the Name or the Thing that you mean?
A26974Is it then a meet phrase to say, that she is pardoned and dignified by loving such a Prince?
A26974Is it then any whit probable that it is Gods meaning to exclude this respect of the act from any conditionality herein?
A26974Is it true, that[ this is that in effect, which the Papists affirm in other words?]
A26974Is not Christ the Law- giver?
A26974Is not Faith ours as much Love,& c?
A26974Is not Love and Obedience part of the Condition?
A26974Is not one kind of work omitted when it s my duty, enough to invalidate my Justification?
A26974Is not this all that our Divines say, or require?
A26974Is not this as much as I say?
A26974Is not this as plain as may be?
A26974Is not this one of the Opinionists, that so far joyneth with the Socinians and Papists?
A26974Is not your Testament that gives your Legacy, because it gives conditionally?
A26974Is that man justified that believeth not in Christ as the King and Prophet of the Church?
A26974Is the Gospel that must be published among all Nations, the History only?
A26974Is the condition of her Deliverance and Pardon, the taking him only under the Notion of a Pardoner or Deliverer?
A26974Is there a further condition required to this condition?
A26974Is there any difficulty in this, or is there any doubt of it?
A26974Is there no aptitude in Christs legal Righteousness to give us life?
A26974Is this a sweet and Christian sense?
A26974Is this adding to the Scripture unjustly?
A26974Is this an Act too?
A26974It can not possibly by any one single Act or Passion which you call the passive Instrument: and do you think to find out many such?
A26974Item quomodo causarentur relationes rationis, sive intentiones logicae, quae sunt in actu collativo?
A26974Must not those Conditions be fulfilled by our selves?
A26974My last Question was, Whether now your Doctrine or mine be the more obscure, doubtfull and dangerous?
A26974Nay is it like to be the great business of that day to enquire whether Christ have done his part or no?
A26974Nay the act is but a moral act, such as a Statute or Bond acteth, and what need Faith to be a physical Instrument?
A26974None''s here so fruitfull as the Leaning Vine: And what though some be drunken with the Wine?
A26974Nonne quod dicere quoque periculosum est, sed ad adificationem proferendum est, d ● abolum Domino praeponit?
A26974Nor what Faith justifieth?
A26974Nor whether Faith justifie?
A26974Nothing to assure men of Justification by faith, but immediate communications to Believers?
A26974Now I pray you tell me whether here be not full as much as Dr. Ward or I say?
A26974Now how will they avoid Tompsons Doctrine of Intercision of that Title to Salvation, upon the committing of such sins?
A26974Now the question is, what is the condition of this womans deliverance and Dignity?
A26974Now would you perswade us that Paul excludeth this kind of Interest, or opposeth faith to it?
A26974OR, Whether all Humane Acts, except one Physical Act of Faith, be the Works which are excluded by Paul in the Point of Justification?
A26974OR, Whether all Humane Acts, except one Physical Act of faith, be the Works which are excluded by Paul in the Point of Justification?
A26974Of a Cause?
A26974Or are there no such conditions which man must perform himself or perish?
A26974Or can any thing but the want of this personal righteousness then hazard a mans soul?
A26974Or do you think none were justified before?
A26974Or doth every weak Christian believe all the twenty Articles that you mentioned at first?
A26974Or from what Agent and Act?
A26974Or he that gives any great matter on Condition of such Receiving, Doth he mean that any one single Act is that Condition?
A26974Or is it excluded?
A26974Or is it that Repentance is conjoyned as to our first Justification, and obedience as to that at Judgement?
A26974Or is it the Intellective Reception of his species?
A26974Or is that Promise to them only that suffer for the Declarative part only?
A26974Or that believing in Christs blood for everlasting Life and happiness, should be any more called works then believing in his blood for Justification?
A26974Or that it is this or that only Act?
A26974Or the omission of many individual acts of faith?
A26974Or was it ever his intent to advance some one act of theirs?
A26974Or what do you say less then I do here?
A26974Or what m ● ● ● Paul to rejoyce in the testimony of his Conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity he had his conversation?
A26974Or whether it is meerly Pati?
A26974Or whether their Being is only in the eye?
A26974Or, Whether all Humane Acts, except one Physical Act of Faith, be the works which Paul excludeth from Justification?
A26974Or, Whether it have only Entity and Verity, or only Goodness for its Object?
A26974Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his Glory?
A26974Our Question is, How the sense of James shall be known?
A26974Our question then is only of the nature, and reason of that necessity?
A26974Pauls Question is, What is the Righteousness which must denominate a sinner just at the Bar of the Law?
A26974Repented of all sins that must be Repented of?
A26974Reply, First, I hope you would not make the world believe that I deny it; Did I ever exclude a dying Christ from the object of justifying faith?
A26974Secondly, But what if that were so?
A26974Seeing you think( truly) that Pardon is iterated as oft as we sin, by what Transient Act of God is this done?
A26974Shall I again tell you the true ground of mens mistake( as I think) in this Point?
A26974So that it is not the natural, but the moral Truth, that is wanting: And what is that?
A26974So that it is one question to ask, Why doth Faith or Works of Obedience to Christ Justifie?
A26974Still the Question wanting in the conclusion: Who denyeth that Christ crucified is the object of justifying faith?
A26974That Readers do you expect, that will take an Assertion of Fear- Love, and Obedience, in stead of an assertion concerning Faith?
A26974That by works he means not simply good Actions, as James doth, but such as make the reward to be of debt and not of Grace?
A26974That the Church must be thus molested by such disputing volumes against it, to make the Papists and other enemies believe we hold I know not what?
A26974The Question is not whether Faith work?
A26974The conclusion never was acquainted with our Question?
A26974The fifth Question is, Whether Faith be any Instrument of our Justification?
A26974The fourth Question is, Whether other Graces may not be as properly called physical passive Instruments as Faith, is your sense?
A26974The like I may say of a Testament or Deed of Gift: But what need many words in a case where the Truth is so obvious?
A26974The question that James disputed, was, Whether men are justified by meer believing without Gospel- Obedience?
A26974The third Question is, Whether faith be passive in its instrumentality?
A26974Therefore it solely dependeth on it: And if these things were true, what are they to our question?
A26974Thirdly, The words of the Jews to John( If thou be not that Christ nor Elias, nor that Prophet, why baptizest thou?
A26974This Union is by Faith: We are united to him as to a Head, Husband and Prince, and not only as a Justifier?
A26974This is the Wills first act towards it object; and will you say that Love goes before justifying faith, and so before Justification?
A26974Thus methinks all that I desire is granted already: what Adversary could a man dream of among Protestants in such a Cause?
A26974Truly it is quite beyond my shallow capacity to reach what you here mean to be so harsh: what should I imagine?
A26974WHether Besides the Righteousness of Christ imputed, there be a personal evangelical Righteousness necessary to Justification and Salvation?
A26974WHether the Faith which Paul opposeth to works in Justification, be one only Physical Act of the Soul?
A26974WHether we are justified by believing in Jesus Christ as our King and Teacher, as well as by believing in his blood?
A26974WHether works are a condition of condition of Justification, and so whether we are justified by works as such a condition?
A26974Wards is to that of the Council of Tre ● t?
A26974Was it ever the less a Law or Promise, the Object of Faith, or Instrument of Justification?
A26974Was it not the Gospel which Christ and the Apostles preached?
A26974Was it only the Declaration of Christs Death, Resurrection,& c. which is the Gospel according to which mens secrets must be judged?
A26974Was not Abraham our Father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the Altar?
A26974Was there no Gospel- grant then extant?
A26974Were Abrahams works in opposition to Christ?
A26974Were it not then better to perswade all people, even when they are whoring, or drunk, to trust on Christ to pardon and justifie them?
A26974Were you not comparing faith in Christ as King, with faith in Christ as Priest only?
A26974What Agreement then hath this Argument with all the rest, or with his question?
A26974What Mystical Relative Union is that which is not a Moral Union?
A26974What a pack of Arguments are here?
A26974What are the Conditions?
A26974What are therefore these two kinds of Righteousness, but contradictory to each other?
A26974What be the Deeds that you know my mind by to be contrary to my words?
A26974What doth faith thus receive?
A26974What doth it concern a sinner to be justified or condemned now before a Court of Angels, where he is not present, nor knows any thing of it?
A26974What if Faith were passive in its Instrumentality?
A26974What if I dare not do so, but give that glory to God, and not to the nature of our own act?
A26974What if the Law condemn the neglect of a Gospel duty?
A26974What is it that you call Sanctification?
A26974What is it then?
A26974What is justifying Faith?
A26974What is more obvious, then that there are many conditions in justificato, which are not in actu justificationis?
A26974What is the Terminus ad quem?
A26974What is this thing called Faith, which you make such a Proteus, to be Active and Passive as to several Objects?
A26974What more proper to the reformed Religion, as such, then to honour the Scriptures?
A26974What not the signs by which faith it self should be known, and therefore should be notiora?
A26974What real difference between the godly and the wicked, the saved and damned?
A26974What room is there for them all, without confusion, If both color, quantity, odor, and all be there?
A26974What sense would you make of it if you should interpret this and such texts as this of all moral Acts?
A26974What the Action?
A26974What the Patient or Object?
A26974What then in the whole world shall escape that censure?
A26974What then is the matter?
A26974What tolearable sense can be given of that multitude of plain Scriptures which I have cited?
A26974What''s this to the Question?
A26974What''s this to the Question?
A26974What, that Faith should be this subservient Righteousness?
A26974When Tolet disputeth utrum ixtelligere sit pati?
A26974When these plants of Hell do thrive upon us, under all our care to weed them up: what will they do when the Vineyard is left desolate?
A26974When will you prove the Consequence of this Argument?
A26974When you ask how saith Paul true?
A26974Whence?
A26974Whether Affiance, Recombency, Assurance,& c. or whether a Passion?
A26974Whether Believing be so, only verbum activum, but Physically passive?
A26974Whether Besides the Righteousness of Christ Imputed, there be a Personal Evangelical Righteousness necessary to Justification and Salvation?
A26974Whether Christ himself be not the object of it?

A26974Which call you the good, sound definition of Faith?
A26974Which of those acts do you think goes not before Justification?
A26974Who ever said, and where, that passive Justification( yea or active) is the Gospel it self, or the sign?
A26974Who speaks more against faith, they or I?
A26974Who then gives more to works, you or I?
A26974Who will say so?
A26974Who would have thought that you had held such a point?
A26974Why do I not understand with every dull thought?
A26974Why from what they came burdened with?
A26974Why may not Christ given us ▪ justifie us as the meritorious cause, and a principal efficient; and his Gospel- grant, as his Instrument?
A26974Why may not a man know when he believeth in Christ as King and Prophet, and is his Disciple, as well as when he believeth in him as Priest?
A26974Why may not faith be a condition, as well as an Instrument of receiving the pardon of its own Imperfection?
A26974Why not Conditions as well as Instruments or Causes?
A26974Why then do you still harp upon the word[ works] as if I did give more to them?
A26974Why then should I aim at this mark?
A26974Why then we say, it is his Ransom, his love and free mercy,& c. And if the Question be, what is it in him that dignifieth her?

A26974Yea and whether there be any such thing?
A26974Yea how great a controversie is it what the sensible and intelligible species are?
A26974Yea is it not a notorious truth, that it is quite another thing which the Papists affirm in somewhat like words?

A26974You ask[ Is it repent, and Christs righteousness by this is made yours?]

A26974You here ask me,[ Whether I think you deny a godly life to be a comfortable Testimony, or necessary qualification of a man for pardon?]
A26974You know by Justification they mean principally Sanctification?
A26974You reply, If there be justifying works, how saith Paul true?
A26974You say the question is,[ Whether the Gospel righteousness be made ours otherwise then by believing?]
A26974You say, how then saith James true?
A26974Your conclusion now is nothing to the Question?
A26974[ For if Faith( say you) justifie as a work] But who saith it doth justifie as a work?
A26974[ He that spared not his own son, but gave him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?]

A26974[ Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods Elect?
A26974[ can faith save him?]
A26974and 10 29?
A26974and all because he would not deny either Christ or Faith?
A26974and excuse not Infidels from the guilt of Rebellion against the Redeemer?
A26974and have limited our justification to any one act?
A26974and how called?
A26974and how can they know that, when they know not what justifying saith is?
A26974and how can they know that, who know not whether they have faith?
A26974and how can they know what it is, when it is by Divines involved in such a cloud and maze of difficulties?
A26974and how we receive Christ, as a man takes a gift in his hand?
A26974and instead of the act we are now set to enquire after the passion?
A26974and is that positive or vehement affirming it?
A26974and not as qualifying?
A26974and saith, God giveth to will,( that is, to believe) and to do,& c. that all this is meant of meer Passion?
A26974and should dream of such perfection short of heaven, the place of our perfection?
A26974and so actively justifie us?
A26974and so another to that with a processus in infinitum?
A26974and so is Evangelically righteous?
A26974and such a Love as is distinct from justifying faith as being no part of it?
A26974and that it is of aequal difficulty upon your own and others opinion, as upon mine?
A26974and the King?
A26974and the very same?
A26974and what is that?
A26974and whether it be not the plain and frequent speech of Scripture?
A26974and why hath it not been discovered unto the world?
A26974and will there be joy in heaven for reducing a man from such an opinion?
A26974and yet meerly Recipient?
A26974are not those acts conditions?
A26974believed all necessary Truths?
A26974but what of that?
A26974by him performed?
A26974de Dieu, Bucer, Calvin, Zanchy?
A26974especially least they should yield to universal Redemption in any kind?
A26974except Mr. Pemble and a very few that with him make Sanctification and Vocation to be all one?
A26974from what?
A26974if not guilty: then what need of Pardon, of daily praying Forgive us our Debts, or of a Christ to procure our Pardon?
A26974if so; then doth not faith justifie directly, as the condition of the Gift, Promise, or new Covenant?
A26974is any excepted to the Penitent Believer?
A26974is it by a further condition, and so in infinitum?]
A26974is there any danger in it?
A26974is there any danger in this?
A26974it is God that justifieth: who is he that condemneth?
A26974no deed of Gift of Christ and his Righteousness to all that should believe?
A26974nor his Intercession,( for who shall condemn us?
A26974of that gift?
A26974or do you think the difference to be of no moment?
A26974or doth Scripture tell you?
A26974or doth it signifie any one act?
A26974or else that they do such good works as make the Reward to be not of Grace but of debt?
A26974or is it only a condition without which he will not cure them?
A26974or of another gift?
A26974or of such sins as Davids, before Repentance?
A26974or rather to advance the Lord Jesus whom faith Receiveth?
A26974or shall any be saved that saith,[ I did not repent or believe, but Christ did for me?]
A26974or should I be spoke against for the Doctrine of obedience, as if I gave more to man then you, when I give so much less?
A26974or that ever such a thing can be proved?
A26974or that there is no condemnation to him, though he know not that he is in Christ, and walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit?
A26974or the act of any one single faculty that the people of the land must perform?
A26974or to see through all the difficulties that I have discovered here in your Doctrine?
A26974or to the constitution of the condition in the Gospel?
A26974or what proof is there from Scripture for this?
A26974or yet to enquire, whether the world were sinners?
A26974or yet, that he hath commanded us in the Gospel, so to work that the Reward may not be of grace, but debt?
A26974that every Grass, Flower, Tree, Bird, Stone,& c. and other bodies, have their several distinct species in the Air night and day?
A26974that is to bring Christ down from above: or who shall descend into the deep?
A26974that is to bring up Christ again from the dead: But what saith it?
A26974that we deny even to all: Of a Condition?
A26974that[ If thou confess with thy mouth, and believe in thy heart,& c.] that[ If] is a conjunction conditional?
A26974the Trusting to Christ for Pardon and Salvation only, without taking him for their King and Prophet?
A26974the satisfaction of a surety?
A26974to justifie?
A26974to note[ what in Christ received doth justifie] rather then[ what respect of our act of faith is the condition?]
A26974to the Law?
A26974what is the danger?
A26974what need any more then to be said of it?
A26974when I say, that[ all that I have to do with, grant the Antecedent] and what''s that to the question in hand?
A26974whether Assent only, or Affiance?
A26974whether they can be the Subjects of Passion; and so be passive Acts?
A26974which yet because it is no way made ours but by believing, therefore he so puts the Question, whether by works of the Law, or by faith?
A26974why by its fruits and concomitants, and that we take Christ for Lord as well as Saviour, or to save us from the power of sin as well as the guilt?
A26974why is not the willingness he should raign, part of saving, justifying faith?
A26974why then if you be so tender, who may deal with you?
A26974with most do affirm?
A26974would not men think that learning made them dote?
A26974yea and what Law shall condemn them, if the Law of Works justifie them?
A26974yea deny this to the Gospel it self?
A26974— But the Righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise: Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into Heaven?
A26974— For where was any Legal Righteousness of the good thief on the Cross, condemned for legal unrighteousness?

A69597Why hath God poured forth such fierce wrath wherein an Eternal Perdition will be?

A69597Why was or did the first Man Born of a Woman become a Murtherer?
A69597Why( Oh my Soul) are thy daily and hourly thoughts so low and impure?
A69597Will Men employ no serious Thoughts on this, but treasure up wrath against the day of wrath?
A69597Will any say Adam and Eve were made at once?
A69597Will any say, How are we concern''d to penetrate into the distinct Forms and Properties of Nature call''d fountain Spirits?
A69597Will any say, Why differs the Copy from the Original?
A69597Will it be said the Tempter should have been character''d, and here is only the Temptation?
A69597Will you ask what is that?
A69597Will you ask, whither ascended he?
A69597Will you say what is that?
A69597With what Body therefore shall he arise?
A69597Without the Censure of confining Infinity it''s queried on what Ground is this presumption Built?
A69597Would God change his Creature Man, seeing in the Life Eternal they shall be like the Angels?
A69597Would you enter?
A69597Yea under the Merciless Murtherers and Tormentors pour out his Soul?
A69597a Breath of the Divine Life) yet in the Soul?
A69597after dissolution of the present frame or fashion?
A69597and if we be righteous, is it not for our selves?
A69597and should God go quite contrary to the predestinate purpose of his out- spoken or expressed word for a Thi ● tles sake?
A69597and then what losest thou straying into outward divertisements, those deluding flatterers?
A69597are these thy Brethren according to the Humanity?
A69597brings irresistible Arguments, will any lay them up in their Hearts; uninterrupted Peace, will any sit still under its Counsels?
A69597could he not forgive Man his Sins without becoming Man?
A69597for how can the dry Breasts within the reach of this vile Body satiate my thirsty Soul?
A69597for there are Poisonous Worms, Beasts, Herbs or Weeds and Trees, also Venom in the Earth, and other things?
A69597how is the same to be understood?
A69597is it a local place?
A69597it is dead, why should my living Spirit be tyed to the dead?
A69597must the Eye see, if the Man dye?
A69597of how much sorer punishment is that Question, but which either is unanswerable, or which Eternity can only unfold?
A69597or first Terre ● tial Human World?
A69597or how may it subsist Eternally, or not?

A69597the Weeping and Compassion of Jesus sounded to the Heathen and Nations, and he said, I am Joseph your Brother; Doth my Father yet live?
A69597the Word made Flesh?
A69597the right Humane Ens will not follow me?
A69597to die like us, thereby opening in us the Door of Eternal Life, what an Abyss of pure Love is this?
A69597to what profit and benefit is it done with Bread an ● Wine, and not without?
A69597what can the exactest Form of Godliness advantage thee more than it doth him who can transform himself into an Angel of Light?
A69597what manner of Flesh and Blood is it?
A69597what short of that can make thee better than the Devils?
A69597why dyest thou not as a Burnt- offering, and risest not in this sweet Fire of humble, earnest, endless Seraphick Love?
A69597why flame not thy Affections?
A61580& quae facta omninò non erant falsis proderent testimoniis aut puerili assertione sirmarent?
A61580Again when the mind by ratiocination hath proceeded thus far and sindes the Sun to be so great, what Idea is there of this magnitude in the mind?
A61580Again, what a vast number of Cities doth Diodorus tell us of that were in Aegypt in their eldest times?
A61580All acts of piety towards God, are a part of Iustice; for as Tully saith, Quid aliud ● st piet as nisi justitia adversus Deos?
A61580All the business is, they quote him as an ancient Writer; but what then?
A61580Although Seneca seems to make a query of it elsewhere; quantum Deus possit?
A61580America, which we suppose to be unpeopled then, all the living creatures should there be destroyed because men had sinned in this?
A61580An nunquid dicemus illius temporis homines usque adeò fuisse vanos, mendaces, stolidos, brutos, ut quae nunquam viderant vidisse se fingerent?
A61580And again if the child bath all its limbs perfect and sound, how comes it not to open its eyes, use the feet, mouth and hands as we do?
A61580And did not Joseph go over all the Land of Aegypt to gather corn?
A61580And doth any one think this sufficient ground to question his mother, because the contrary is impossible to be demonstrated to him?
A61580And for this very miracle, of curing one born blind, was the like ever heard of before?
A61580And how can they be left inexcuseable, who want so much as rational inducements to faith?
A61580And if the understanding of God be infinite, why may not he discover such things to us, which our shallow apprehensions can not reach unto?
A61580And in all the following history of Scripture, is there not mention made of Aegypt still as an entire Kingdom, and of one King over it?
A61580And is not now the notion of an Infinite Being enough to stumble an Atheists reason, when it can so nimbly leap over so apparent contradictions?
A61580And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles then these which this man hath done?
A61580And this needed not so much admiration as followed there upon this action of Sauls, that it should become a Proverb, Is Saul also among the Prophets?
A61580And was not this a worthy Mathematical supposition, for one who would undertake to give an account of the Origine of the Universe without a Deity?
A61580And what if some Arabick Writers mention him?
A61580And what reason can there be to extend the Flood beyond the occasion of it, which was the corruption of mankinde?
A61580Are Musical notes like some seeds Naturalists speak of, which will help to excite a prophetick spirit?
A61580Are they to confirm the truths contained in Scripture?
A61580As Manilius speaks, An dubium est habitare Deum sub pectore nostro, In coelum que redire animas, caelóque venire?
A61580At ille quid sentit?
A61580At what time could these things be contrived?
A61580Aut in unam coire qui potuërunt mentem gentes regionibus dissi ● ● ae, ventis coelique convexionibus dimotae?
A61580Because the motion of these particles of matter is casual still according to them; and who knows what chance may do?
A61580Besides what expressions of gratitude can be left to God for his goodness if he interpose not in the affairs of the world?
A61580Besides, if the water received into the stomack forced the passage through the guts, how comes it not to run in the channel it had made for its self?
A61580Besides, is it not very strange that no Historian should mention such a former distribution of several principalities so antiently in Egypt?
A61580Besides, what dependence is there upon each other in the moments of the duration of any created Being?
A61580But are they in good earnest when they say God bound up himself by this speech?
A61580But because Lucretius may be thought to speak more impartially in the case, how rarely doth he describe it?
A61580But how came the air into the body before it was forced out?
A61580But how doth the Atheist mean it?
A61580But let us grant that some arguments will not do it, doth it therefore follow that none can do it?
A61580But what evidence of reason, or demonstration have we that the great bodies of the world did result from such a motion of these small particles?
A61580But what was it which at first set these little particles of matter in motion?
A61580But whence doth it appear possible?
A61580But where do we read any such thing permitted in the Law as the celebrating the first Passeover the 14 of the second moneth?
A61580But will no less then this serve him?
A61580But yet further, is this opinion which is thus caused by the Stars, true or false?
A61580But yet further, these Politicians who first abused the world in telling them there was a God, did they themselves believe there was a God or no?
A61580But yet further; was an Infinite Wisdom, and power necessary to put things into that order they are in?
A61580By what means, what tokens and evidence came such an imposture to their knowledge?
A61580Can Atoms frame Syllogismes in mood and figure?
A61580Can any age be mentioned in history, wherein this tradition was not universally received?
A61580Can any one think that the several muscles and tendons should be placed in the more solid parts for any other end then for the better motion of them?
A61580Can not we say a person is punished while he is in prison and hath his fetters upon him, till his execution comes?
A61580Can the profession of that be honourable, whose practice is not?
A61580Can there possibly be given any fuller evidence of an entire Kingdom, then these are that Egypt was such then?
A61580Can we imagine that the Grand- children of Iacob could be ignorant of their own pedigree, and whence they came into Egypt?
A61580Can we then think that the Law which came afterwards, could disanull the Covenant made 430. years before, as the Apostle excellently reasons?
A61580Can we think the mists and umbrages of the Law could ever cast so glorious a light as the Sun of righteousness himself in his Meridian elevation?
A61580Could Iacob be ignorant of the Country whence his Grand- father Abraham came?
A61580Could Sem be ignorant of the actions before the flood, when Adam the first man, lived some part of his time with Noah?
A61580Could meer Atoms ever dispute whether they were Atoms or no?
A61580Could there be now so great an Epicurisme in contemplation, were the soul of man of Epicurus his mould, a meer complexion of Atoms?
A61580Could they think their pillars should have some peculiar exemption above stronger structures, from the violence of the rough and furious waters?
A61580Cumque possent vobiscum& unanimiter vivere,& inoffensas ducere conjunctiones, gratuita susciperent odia& execrabili haberentur in nomine?
A61580Did Christ and his Apostles discharge their places, when they left something unr ● vealed to us?
A61580Did Saint Paul preach ever the less the words of truth and soberness, because he was told to his face that his Learning had made him mad?
A61580Did ever any lay down their lives to undeceive the world if the Apostles were guilty of abusing it?
A61580Did not God himself promulge it among the people of Israel by the Ministry of Moses?
A61580Did the Devils ever dread so much the name of Socrates or Aristides as they did that of God and of Christ?
A61580Did the designs of Governours and the credulity of all people fall out to be so suitable together?
A61580Did they not?
A61580Did we ever find any thing of the same nature with the world produced in such a manner by such a concourse of Atoms?
A61580Do Hieroglyphicks speak in several Languages, and are they capable of changing their tongues?
A61580Do these things import no more then meer deciding the cases of the ceremonial Law?
A61580Do we not see that the most concerning and weighty actions of mens lives, are built on no other foundation then this moral certainty?
A61580Doth all this now amount only to a removing of prejudices from the person of Christ?
A61580First, how could it possibly be, when his memory was remaining?
A61580For I demand concerning this tradition, Whether ever it had any beginning or no?
A61580For I demand, Is it the duty of those who want that immediate illumination to believe or no?
A61580For I doubt not but Epicurus was fain to argue much against himself, before he could perswade himself to so stupendious a piece of folly?
A61580For can any thing be more plain then that the Messias was to be born in Bethlehem of Iudea?
A61580For can any thing be more plain then the gradual progress of Divine revelation from the beginning of the world?
A61580For can we imagine that a Being of Infinite knowledge should be ignorant of what is done in the world?
A61580For doth not Moses plainly at first give an account of the formation of things in the first six dayes, and of his rest on the seventh?
A61580For first, who ever asserted the Writer of the Dynastyes to have lived in the time of Augustus?
A61580For how agreeable can that opinion be to the Gospel which so evidently puts the most defensive weapons into the hands of unbelief?
A61580For how can the principle of good be God, if he hath not Infinite power, as well as goodness?
A61580For how could such a coppy be the Iudge of all others, which could not be read or understood by those who appealed to it?
A61580For if matter have its original from its self, how can it be subject to the power of another?
A61580For is not life a greater perfection then the want of it?
A61580For the Question being, Whether the person I am to believe hath divine authority for what he saith, What ground can I have to believe that he hath so?
A61580For what a case were they like to be in, if those things which the Apostles so confidently preached were true?
A61580For what is now become of the antiquities of Ionia and the City Miletus written by Cadmus Miletius, supposed to be the first writer of History?
A61580For what is there evident to sense which proves a fortuitous concourse of Atoms for the production of things?
A61580For what is there so desirable in continual reproaches& contumelies?
A61580For what more evident then that Pharaoh who preferred Ioseph, was King of all the Land of Aegypt?
A61580For who can but confess, that even the worser part of the Christian Churches exceeds the best of the popular Assemblies?
A61580For why may not God himself add to his own Laws or alter the form of them, although we are alwayes bound directly to follow Gods declared will?
A61580For with what authority and Majesty doth God in the Scripture forbid all manner of sin?
A61580For, 1. Who were those persons, who did give out this Law to the Iews under Moses his name?
A61580Fourthly, According to this principle, what certainty can we have at all of anything we are to believe?
A61580From whence now comes this apprehension of the bigness of the Sun above that proportion which can possibly come in at our senses?
A61580Graeciae Discipulus et coeli?
A61580Had E icurus himself so little of an Athenian in him, as not to make it some part of his delight to understand the affairs of the world?
A61580Hath he this from Ptolomy, whose Scheme of the several Nomi he publisheth?
A61580Hath not then a Legislator power to require any thing, but what he satisfies every one of his reason in commanding it?
A61580How came these casual motions to hit so luckily into such admirable contrivances as are in the Universe?
A61580How could such a tradition be spread so far, but either by force or fraud?
A61580How incongruous would obscure expressions have been to the design of saving souls by the foolishness of preaching?
A61580How like herein do they speak to those who contend for the corruptions crept into the Christian Church?
A61580How much do the Aegyptians tell us of the excellency of their ancient Laws and Government?
A61580How probable doth this sound, that in those eldest times such vast multitudes of Cities should be erected?
A61580How shall I give thee up, Ephraim?
A61580How then can God produce something out of matter, which necessarily exists,& not be able to produce something out of nothing?
A61580How was the word of reconciliation committed to them, if it were common to them with the whole frame of the world?
A61580I demand then, where can we suppose any ignorance or cutting off this general tradition in so continued a succession as here was?
A61580I grant it to be wonderfully true, but all the question is de modo, how God will satisfie them?
A61580I wonder how Epicurus his soul, when if we believe him, it was made up of Atoms, could ever imagine an Infinite Vacuity?
A61580If God did produce good out of evil, why could he not have removed all evil out of matter?
A61580If Gods power over man was universal and unlimited, what reason can there be to imagine it should not extend to such a positive Law?
A61580If after, then I demand, whether the people had observed the Law of Moses before or no?
A61580If not, then all former ages have believed without sufficient ground for faith; if they were, then what ground can there be to confirm us in them now?
A61580If the principles be true, why are they not practised?
A61580If then it be inconsistent with the wisdom of God to add any thing to the Law of Moses, why not to the revelation made to Adam or the Patriarchs?
A61580If these things be disowned as the standard of reason, let us know what will be substituted in the room of them?
A61580If they be not true, why are they professed?
A61580If they believed the flood absolutely universal, for whom did they intend their observations?
A61580If they did not, upon what accounts did they believe there was none, when the people were so ready, to believe there was one?
A61580If we should be but for few dayes without eating and drinking, we could not live; how can a childe then continue so many months without it?
A61580In cujus perniciem aliquando convenimus?
A61580Is humane nature only capable of Impostures, or can none work miracles but Devils?
A61580Is it because four Dynastyes according to his own computation exceed the creation of the world according to the true account?
A61580Is it pleasure to a Nurse to fill the child with her milk?
A61580Is it possible so learned a Iesuite should discover so little judgement in so few words?
A61580Is not the Scepter yet departed from Judah, and the Lawgiver from between his feet, and is not Shiloh yet come?
A61580Is there any thing more plain and evident to reason, then that it implyes a contradiction for the same thing to be and not to be at the same time?
A61580Is there not more reason that rituals should give place to substantials, then that such should be superinduced to morals?
A61580It is possible to be so, saith Epicurus; what if we grant it possible?
A61580May not God enlarge his own will, and bring his Schollars from the rudiments of their nonage to the higher knowledge of those who are full grown?
A61580Must I take his bare affirmation for it?
A61580Must all Intellectual Beings be proscribed out of the order of Nature, because they can not pass the scrutiny of sense?
A61580Must an 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 be confronted with Thus saith the Lord?
A61580Must the Tribe of Levi only attend at the Temple when God would take Priests and Levites out of all Nations that serve him?
A61580Must we appeal then to the judgement of Sardanapalus concerning the nature of Felicity, or enquire of Apicius what temperance is?
A61580Must we believe one, and reject the rest?
A61580Nay did not he buy all the Land of Aegypt for Pharaoh?
A61580Nay, saith he, to come nearer home, why is my Uncle Rutilius in banishment?
A61580Nonne aspicimus quanto auro& argento& v ● ste s ● ffarcinatus exierit de Aegypto Cyprian ● s Doctor suavissimus& Martyr beatissimus?
A61580Now is it possible that these should be the effects of any evil spirit?
A61580Now what a strange way was this to increase the number of Fables?
A61580Now which is there of these three, which supposing God to discover his mind to the world, it doth not highly become him to speak to men of?
A61580Nullus pudor est ad meliora transire, saith Ambrose in his answer to Symmachus, what shame is it to grow better?
A61580O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen gathered her chickens under her wings, and ye would not?
A61580Of grace, favour, protection, deliverance, audience of prayers, and eternal happiness; and is these will not prevail with men, what motives will?
A61580Olympiad?
A61580On the otherside, why did Marius die in peace, and the most cruel Cinna enjoy so long tranquillity?
A61580One will not believe this article of his faith, because against his reason, and why not another reject another article on the same pretence?
A61580Or did not the Israelites all constantly believe it?
A61580Or did the Governors all consent to abolish all records of it?
A61580Or do they tend to elevate the spirits of men, and so put them into a greater capacity of Enthusiasm?
A61580Or if we could suppose things should hit thus in one Nation, what is this to the whole world which the Atheist here supposeth eternal?
A61580Or is it because for sooth Man ● tho hath digested all into better order and reckoned up the several Dynastyes which lay consused in other authors?
A61580Or is it because we find in natural beings, how much these particles of matter serve to solve the Phoenomena of nature?

A47309Among the Deeds of Men, all those are not really Good, which are so in outward Appearance, and which the World takes for such?
A47309And all these you say, were to enable them to Plant and Propagate their Religion?
A47309And all this God- like Society, are every way fitted to be the most happy, and delightful Companions?
A47309And amidst all the injuries, the bitter Contentions, and bloody Wars among Christians, how is this accomplished?
A47309And amidst all these Companions, shall the Righteous be Perfect in this Love?
A47309And as God stints the measure, as well as appoints the season, doth he also fix the length and duration of our sufferings from evil Men?
A47309And as God works them only for important and needful ends, Doth he not also only on needful occasions?
A47309And as for all the good or ill events, which we meet with, we must believe he orders and allots them for us, and be accordingly affected with them?
A47309And as it appears in these, so I suppose it might be made appear, how we are led on by some Points of Belief, to every other Point of Practice?
A47309And being God, not only in Power, but also in Nature, must we not all worship him, and pray to him, and trust in him as God?
A47309And being the Son of God in this sense; that is, having Soveraign Power from him, he is our Lord?
A47309And by what other ways can you convince them, that Christ is risen?
A47309And can we expect any reward at the hands of this Benign Judge, for such impure Services?
A47309And did Christ act the part of a Priest for the Church, paying a Price to make Reconciliation with God, and in virtue of that to intercede for it?
A47309And did Jesus found such a Kingdom?
A47309And did Jesus fulfil all this?

A47309And doth not God, who made our Frame, know our infirmities better, than we who feel them?
A47309And doth not he prevent us too, with good Desires, and inward Motions?
A47309And doth this Omnipresent God see even our hearts, and secret thoughts?
A47309And has God done all, that can reasonably be expected that way, to prevent sin?
A47309And has this been fulfilled by Jesus?
A47309And have not several practised some Virtues, who yet were void of the Spirit, and saving Grace?
A47309And how can these admit of such change?
A47309And if all things else, but especially all Men, do absolutely depend on him, that will make all careful to serve and please him, and found Religion?
A47309And if he has satisfied for them already, what need we do more?
A47309And if, as you said before, God gives them, what need we take all this care, and Pains, to acquire them?
A47309And is he as able to make good his Word, as he is sincere in passing it?
A47309And is it also bestow''d upon Conditions?
A47309And is it fit, when they are ashamed of a thing, to lay it upon God to excuse themselves?
A47309And is it not fit they should seek this Communion, wheresoever they pass?
A47309And is it not more safe too?
A47309And is it thus also in bad Actions?
A47309And is it to be one, by an External, Visible Unity?
A47309And is not this Mercy some incouragement to those, who go on in their sins?
A47309And is this way as effectual, as by forming Vocal Pleas?
A47309And may not they therefore confront all the Miracles wrought in justification of that Law, against theirs?
A47309And may not this comfort us to think, that whilst he designs well for us, no contrivance, or power, of Men, or Devils, can harm us?
A47309And may they be saved too?
A47309And must not this be, till the End of the World?
A47309And must we pray in Faith, that is, ask with an expectation to Receive them?
A47309And one, you say, is his God- head: what mean you by that?
A47309And ought it not to arm us against the fear of our own death too?
A47309And ought we not to think his the best Season?
A47309And shall desperate shame, and disgrace, be added to all this?
A47309And shall not miserable wretches have some rest from these Torments?
A47309And shall that Life last for ever?
A47309And shall their raised Bodies be sensible of Torment?
A47309And shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it?
A47309And shall they exercise all this Holiness without trouble and reluctance, which makes the practice of it painful here on Earth?
A47309And shall this Blessedness never be imbitter''d to them, with any care, or fear, or grief, or crosses, as all the happyness of this present Life is?
A47309And shall we entirely Love all them?
A47309And shall wretched Souls be wholly seized by these?
A47309And since he is so Powerful in Mediation, this is not only our bounden Duty, but our truest Wisdom?
A47309And since we can bring no business about, but by God''s Blessing, must not this teach us never to seek to gain our end by any sin?
A47309And that for the sake of his death to expiate sins, God will be reconciled to Sinners upon their true Repentance?
A47309And that his hatred is stronger against sin, than his Love is for any Favorite, or created Being?
A47309And therefore, methinks, this proof of God''s Being, from the voice of his Works, must needs convince all his reasonable Creatures?
A47309And these Gifts, you say, he ascended to bestow upon his Church?
A47309And this Grace of Forgiveness, you say, is granted to us on Conditions?
A47309And this was still the way of Prophets, when God sent them?
A47309And to all this, did he also himself give them a Sign for his own justification?
A47309And to be debarr''d, or debar our selves of the use of them, what is it, but to be debarr''d of this great Prophet''s free Communication?
A47309And was God consenting to them?
A47309And was this done for Jesus, when he came?
A47309And were all these Offices to last through all Ages of the Church?
A47309And what is the Communion of these Saints, or Christians?
A47309And what is the unpardonable sin against them?
A47309And what knowledge they had of their Religion, you say was of his inspiring?
A47309And what must it teach us, after we have reaped them?
A47309And what must this teach us?
A47309And what shall we say to them, if they alledge Miracles for false Things?
A47309And when God comes to judge us, will he take notice, and have respect to these continued and multiplied Effects of our Actions?
A47309And when God exerts this Power in doing things, doth it create him any labour and pains?
A47309And when doth a Church impose such sinful things?
A47309And when he takes away, says Job, who can hinder him, or say unto him, What dost thou?
A47309And when is a Church so far corrupted in her Worship, that we ought not to joyn in it?
A47309And when is a Sin against Conscience, called Deliberate, which, I suppose, is a higher pitch of Wilfulness?
A47309And when once he loves, and takes complacence in us, will he be constant, and not alter his affection?
A47309And when our Heart is thus bent upon any Graces and Good Things, must our Care and Endeavour also be put forth in attainment of them?
A47309And when shall all these Dreadful Miseries seize them?
A47309And when that time is come, can they exceed his bounds, or afflict further than he has allowed them?
A47309And when we are careful to use them, may we be confident of his Gift, and promise our selves that he will bestow them?
A47309And when we are once forgiven, may we embolden our selves, from God''s readiness to forgive, to Repeat our sins?
A47309And wherein must we shew this Submission?
A47309And why do you add ▪ All that are not Repugnant to his own Nature?
A47309And why must the Holy Ghost beget him?
A47309And why then do you think this rejoicing of theirs, had something Miraculous in it?
A47309And will Christ continue thus to intercede for us; that is, to shew himself, and exhibit his Sacrifice before God in our behalf, always?
A47309And will it not also quicken Mens diligence in good things, and make them active in his Service?
A47309And will none be judged, till the end of the World?
A47309And will none partake of the Reconciliation of his Priesthood, but they who thus believe him as their Prophet, and obey him as their Lord?
A47309And will not he order all, in compassionate proportion to our strength and necessities, and the supplies of his own Grace?
A47309And will our Candid favourable Judge, make abatements for these Providential disadvantages?
A47309And will our Equitable and Benign Judge, shew favour to these infirmities, which are so inseparable from our Natures?
A47309And will this gracious Judge accept of such slow, and backward services?
A47309And, who is he that condemneth?
A47309Are not such erroneous Christians or Churches then, in as good a state, as more sound and Orthodox ones?
A47309Are such Phrases applicable to Faith in a literal, and common understanding of them?
A47309Are there any more things still belonging to him, which confirm the same?
A47309Are they not excusable in any Actions, so long as they only follow their Conscience?
A47309Are they not rigorous and over- burdensome, requiring more than we are able to perform?
A47309Are we not indebted for all this indulgence, to the merit of his Death?
A47309Are we to learn from it any thing further?
A47309As God is most watchful in observing all our actions, is he not equally so, in marking all our trials and temptations?
A47309Because, if they were asleep, how could they tell any one stole him?
A47309Believe ye that I am able to do this, said Christ to the blind Men?
A47309Besides these Revelations about Religion, and the way to Happiness, had they not also Prophesie, or Revelation about other Things?
A47309Besides this Justice, in allotting future recompences; doth not God also show himself just, in bestowing present, and suitable events to actions?
A47309Besides this sincerity, is it necessary to a saving and effective Faith, that there be moreover a good degree of strength and firmness in it?
A47309But God gave these Revelations in the Apostles Age, and is not he the same God still in ours?
A47309But I pray before you leave this point, of the exactness of time, how can the Jews, who believe all these Prophecies, shut their Eyes against them?
A47309But I pray you what need of that?
A47309But after all ▪ will not this taking the word of Jesus in his own case, give colour and credit to designing Impostors, and Fanatical Enthusiasts?
A47309But all other Sins you say, we may believe, and trust to have the pardon of?
A47309But amidst all these inward excellencies, and happy Company, and Blissful intercourse of kindness, shall they live in Honour, and be eminent in Place?
A47309But are there no Predictions more punctual in point of Time still, and that prefix the exact Year of his coming?
A47309But are we sure at that Day, God will stand to these Gospel Terms?
A47309But as God''s Providence orders for us all good events, doth he likewise order for us all evil ones?
A47309But as soon as ever we repent, we may believe, and trust, that we shall be saved by it?
A47309But besides these ignorant and inconsiderate Failings, have we not many other Natural Infirmities, that will need his Clemency and Favour towards us?
A47309But besides this, are there not other notable things set down by the Prophets, as belonging to him, which may serve still further to discover him?
A47309But can he also hinder any things in the World, from doing whatsoever they are naturally bent, or wo nt to do?
A47309But can you say moreover, that these crosses are for ends both of Grace, and Wisdom?
A47309But can you show that Jesus silenced them?
A47309But could they work these Miracles, at any instant of time when they would; or were some Preparations required to them?
A47309But did he thereby acquire any Power over us?
A47309But did not those Miracles, when they proved that Law to come from God, prove also that none should come in after- time, to abrogate and annull it?
A47309But did the Jews, who lived in those days, see all this in him?
A47309But do not you think Demons can speak of some such futurities in plain Speech, and there too with certainty and assurance?
A47309But do you suppose, that some may still be Prophets, and have Revelations about other things?
A47309But doth God no way allot these for us?
A47309But doth it contain all Points of meer Belief, that are necessary and Fundamental?
A47309But doth it not also imply Communicating, not only in Affections, but in all Good Offices, in Alms and outward Things?
A47309But doth it not shew he is angry with us, when he tears a Friend from our sides?
A47309But doth not S Paul, when he speaks of our justification, say it is by saith without the deeds of the law?
A47309But doth not Satan himself sometimes work a Miracle, or such a lying Wonder, as will pass for a Miracle?
A47309But doth not the Prophet Joel say, Revelations should be common things among Christians?
A47309But doth not this Grand Article of Jesus being the Christ and Saviour, imply in it sundry other Articles?
A47309But doth the Holy Ghost inspire these comforts into all minds, wherein he displays his saving Graces, which are the Ground of them?
A47309But had not Christ been their Teacher for several years together?
A47309But has not his death bought us off from the Punishment of our Sins, till we repent of them?
A47309But have not some good Men, great confidence of God''s favour?
A47309But have we any more than these Testimonies of Scripture, that is their own word and saying for it?
A47309But how came John to know it, and why in this case must we take his word?
A47309But how can they all be thus united in Prayers and Devotions, not having one and the same Forms of Prayer and Liturgies?
A47309But how can we live in their Fellowship, and adhere to their Government, now they are dead?
A47309But how do the two other Phrases, of receiving Christ, and coming unto Christ, shew the Faith they denote to be a belief of his Word?
A47309But how doth this Son appear to be the same Immanuel, that was promised to be born of a Virgin?
A47309But how shall we do to learn of him, since now he is no more among us here on Earth, but is gone to Heaven?
A47309But how will Christ proceed in Judging us for these Things?
A47309But if God so irreconcileably hates sin, why doth he not employ his Power to keep it out?
A47309But if both the Father and the Son, and the Holy Ghost be God, are there not three Gods?
A47309But if there be any miscarriages of State and Government, must the People look upon these too to be of God''s sending?
A47309But if they are thus to be our own Attainment; how are they God''s Gift?
A47309But in these allotments, where God dispenses Arbitrarily, doth he not always dispense Wisely, and Reasonably?
A47309But in those Scriptures, have they done it fully?
A47309But in what doth this strength consist?
A47309But is he gone thither, to carry on any Designs for us?
A47309But is he not sometimes concerned in sending Mens faults and follies too, as well as the miseries, in punishment of former provocations?
A47309But is it clear he speaks of such Jewish deeds?
A47309But is it in any Signs, and Tokens, outwardly dispensed to them?
A47309But is it just, to propose and denounce such heavy punishments?
A47309But is it not discouraging to the Righteous too, who have repented of them, and are forgiven?
A47309But is not God before- hand with us, and gives us some Grace, before we endeavour any thing?
A47309But is not Joy an ordinary Fruit of the Spirit?
A47309But is not every man troubled, more or less, with ill Thoughts, and unlawful Desires, and like to be so, whilst we bear these Bodies about us?
A47309But is the Happiness of the one, or the Misery of the other, so full then, as it shall be after the last Judgment?
A47309But is there forgiveness for them, when they are committed with the most aggravating Circumstances?
A47309But is there none also, for willful Apostacy from Christianity?
A47309But it is also free in the second, so as not to require in us any Terms or Conditions?
A47309But may he not seem to misproportion them, when he punishes momentany sins with eternal torments?
A47309But may not an ill Man have some Good in him?
A47309But may not the best of us all find defects enow even in these?
A47309But shall they not have something to mitigate, and make it easier?
A47309But shall we judged too, for all our sinful Omissions?
A47309But since Christ hath died for them once already, will not that be dying twice, and so being twice punished for the same sin?
A47309But since all doubting of the Pardon of our Sins, and the Favour of God, implies distrust, how will it stand with Faith in God?
A47309But since the things he endured, were the absolute perfection of shame and sorrow, why should Christ submit, or God bring Christ to that end?
A47309But since there are many such in the World, can you give me any further Direction how to try them?
A47309But since they were so particularly informed about the time, how came it, that as it drew on, the Jews were not daily looking for him?
A47309But since we are upon Earth, and the Father in Heaven, and he doth not visibly appear to converse among Men, how did he give Testimony to him?
A47309But the Prayer of Faith, and forgiveness of Sins, seem to note something else?
A47309But the Wicked too shall be raised to an Eternal State, and what shall their Life be?
A47309But tho''it be thus absolutely undeserved by us, yet has not Christ fully merited and deserved it for us?
A47309But though such doubts are not the sin of Infidelity against God, yet are they not always sinful, and blame- worthy upon some other account?
A47309But was it fulfilled in Jesus when he came?
A47309But was not Faith accepted of them, unless it thus influenced and affected them?
A47309But was not Jesus John''s Friend?
A47309But was not his death a satisfaction for sins?
A47309But what Perfections shall their Bodies receive at the Resurrection?
A47309But what can you say to show him a true and honest Man, who would not feign things to deceive others?
A47309But what if in the height of our hopes, and probabilities, some cross accident starts up, that is like to break all our measures?
A47309But what if it doth not use the Rod of Discipline to correct them?
A47309But what if men are Ignorant, because they neglect to learn their Duty, nay, perhaps stop their Eyes and Ears, and Refuse to see, or be told of it?
A47309But what if we are at the last extremities?
A47309But what mean you, when you call Jesus the Messiah or Christ, that is, the anointed?
A47309But what say you to Ahab''s case, did not God himself deceive him?
A47309But what say you to the equity of them?
A47309But what say you to those, which we bring upon our selves, by our own gross faults, or follies?
A47309But what say you, to the seeming Rigor of his own Laws, which require us to † Love and serve him, with all our Heart and strength?
A47309But what shall be the effect of all this to good men?
A47309But what sort of Company must they keep?
A47309But what will you say, if even these small and slender things, are performed with much Difficulty and Reluctance?
A47309But what, if, after we are the Friends of God, we should return to live in sin?
A47309But when God deserts them, shall they be quite forsaken?
A47309But when he Promises, or makes Gracious Invitations, or Declarations to sinners, as he* often doth, doth he deal plainly, and mean as he says?
A47309But when he deals thus graciously with all the good, how will he proceed with ill Men?
A47309But when once they are delivered from their sins, they may make sure of being freed by him from Eternal Death too?
A47309But when the everlasting Punishments of the other Life are released, are all the Temporal Inflictions in this Life struck off too?
A47309But when we have repented, and left these Sins, will he not forgive us still, unless we forgive others, that have trespass''d against us?
A47309But when we suffer from ill Men, are those evils also of God''s sending?
A47309But whilst their forlorn Souls are racked with all these horrible pangs, what shall become of their Bodies?
A47309But why did he not think Repentance enough without a Ransom?
A47309But why is he call''d Holy, more than the Father, or the Son?
A47309But will Judgment also pass upon us, for neglecting to employ, or improve our Talents?
A47309But will he bear also with any willful Sins, when we transgress wittingly, or against our Consciences?
A47309But will not Faith save us, and be imputed unto us for Righteousness, till we are thus affected with it, and act according to our persuasions?
A47309But will not God, the hope and comfort of all that are in utter distress, look upon them, and shew them countenance, in this wretched state?
A47309Can God do, whatsoever any things in the World can do?
A47309Can you shew me, what points are such?
A47309Can you shew this Catholick efficacy in other Acts?
A47309Christ there says, Men shall give account in the Day of Judgment, for every idle word, v. 26. what then will become of most men in this world?
A47309Could Christ have avoided these Sufferings, if he would?
A47309Did Jesus any more Miracles, which are performable only by the finger of God; and are above the force of Magick?
A47309Did Jesus perform this when he came?
A47309Did John the Baptist testifie Jesus to be the Christ?
A47309Did not Pilate believe Christ to deserve all this?
A47309Did the Apostles receive their Religion from God, and were they inspired by the Holy Ghost in what they Taught?
A47309Did the Father also testifie Jesus to be the Christ by raising him from the Dead, and shewing him openly in full possession of his pretences?
A47309Did the High- Priest among the Jews, intercede thus?
A47309Do the Apostles, in their disputes of Justification with the Jews, set themselves to beat down these points?
A47309Do they mention any other Sign, that visibly marks out this time?
A47309Do we believe the forgiveness of all Sins?
A47309Doth Faith in Christ signifie also in Scripture, the believing some things concerning Christ?
A47309Doth God also give all that favour, we find in the Eyes of Men?
A47309Doth God also govern all, that he hath made?
A47309Doth God also see the best times, and the fittest seasons for every purpose?
A47309Doth God exercise over the World a Sovereign Empire?
A47309Doth God exercise this Empire also in guiding, and directing all Actions, and Turns in the World, as he pleases?
A47309Doth God observe all our actions?
A47309Doth God often give Men up thus to evil Spirits, to delude them?
A47309Doth God order for us all the good events we meet with?
A47309Doth God preserve all that he hath made?
A47309Doth Ignorance excuse any Offences?
A47309Doth he allot them according to any rules, and in recompence of Mens predispositions: or Arbitrarily, out of Sovereign Will, according as he pleases?
A47309Doth he intercede, that men may have this Reconciliation, whilst they go on in sin?
A47309Doth he not also refresh them, with such Spiritual Joy and Comforts, as are apt to result from them?
A47309Doth he not also show the same, in estimating what Services are good, and fit to be rewarded by him?
A47309Doth he then plead with God, and move and Petition him, for all the things we gain from him?
A47309Doth it offend him knowingly to Neglect, and Slight his good suggestions?
A47309Doth the word Hell, sometimes signifie only the state of the Dead, or the place of Souls departed?
A47309Doth this Creed contain all points of Doctrine, necessary to be believed by every Christian?
A47309Doth this appear from ancient Prophecies?
A47309Doth this visible union imply a profest subjection of the whole Church, to one visible Head, the Bishop of Rome?
A47309For if God is their preserver, is not the timing, and stinting of all these in his hands?
A47309For in him only the evil accident was design; and against him, who justly can, or dare complain?
A47309For is not any man, that Discourses with freedom, liable to utter something that is Idle, that is, works no good, or makes none the better for it?
A47309For so Satan, as Christ argues undeniably, would be divided against Satan, and then how could his Kingdom stand?
A47309For what end were these Offices appointed?
A47309For what shall we be judged, and condemned in this Judgment?
A47309For who, i. e. of those who want this Spirit, hath known the mind of the Lord, to discern when another meerly pretends to it?
A47309For whose sake doth Almighty God allow us all this Benefit of Forgiveness?
A47309For why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things that I say?
A47309For why would they deserve it?
A47309From these Reasons, it may seem fit and necessary, God should have a Future Judgment; but are we sure he will have it?
A47309From what you have said, I perceive what Sin is: but what is meant by the Forgiveness of it?
A47309HOW doth it appear, that Jesus, who was born of Mary, and suffered under Pontius Pilate, is the Christ?
A47309Had not some the Gift of Tongues, who were not sent out to men of ▪ another Language?
A47309Had the Prophet a Son born to him presently after that time?
A47309Had they the Gift of any other Miracles?
A47309Had they this boldness of Spirit at all times?
A47309Has God all Might and Strength, to effect and do all things?
A47309Has God also a Sovereign Dominion, to dispose of all things, and allot all their different states and conditions, as a Supreme Proprietor?
A47309Has he any other Business to do for us at God''s Right- hand, as our King?
A47309Have you any further Evidence of this?
A47309Have you any more instances?
A47309Have you any more things to instance in, which shew this Prophecy was not fulfilled in the Virgins Child of that time?
A47309Have you any other Rules?
A47309Have you any other notable, and appropriating marks to add from them, to these already given?
A47309Having felt them thus in himself, will he not be apt to sympathize, and have compassion on all our weaknesses?
A47309Having therefore these Scriptures Faithfully conveyed to us, by God''s Blessing, we must not look for, or listen to any New Revelation?
A47309He is not as man, that he should repent: hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
A47309He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him freely give us all things?
A47309How did the Holy- Spirit supply his Absence?
A47309How do these Prophecies demonstrate him?
A47309How do they prefix the exact time for Messiah''s coming?
A47309How doth it appear that there is a God?
A47309How doth it appear, that Christ was raised again from the dead?
A47309How doth it appear, that it was not fulfilled in the Virgin pointed out at that time?
A47309How doth it cut off all hopes of impunity, and utterly discourage all future offenders?
A47309How doth it shew his strict care of his Laws, for the Honour of his Justice?
A47309How doth that appear?
A47309How doth the requiring such a satisfaction, shew his perfect hatred of sin, for the Honour of his Holiness?
A47309How doth this assure it?
A47309How long did Jesus Christ abide in the state of the Dead; till his Body was corrupted?
A47309How must the thoughts of such an irresistible Might, and absolute Sovereignty affect us?
A47309How must they keep to the same Faith, and Doctrine?
A47309How must this affect us?
A47309How ought we in reason, to be influenced by this belief?
A47309How shall I give thee up?
A47309How so?
A47309How then can any man stand in the Judgment, if for these they shall be Condemned?
A47309How was his becoming man, necessary to give him a knowledge and compassionate sense of our infirmities; was he not God before?
A47309How will you make that out?
A47309I perceive we must acknowledge God, the Donor of success to every work, or design: but is it he also that gives promotion?
A47309I pray you explain the Designs he carries on for us there?
A47309I pray you instance to me, how it is so in good Actions?
A47309I pray you what doth that imply?
A47309I pray you what is meant by that?
A47309I see all this was plainly prophesied of Messiah, and was it fully made good in Jesus Christ?
A47309I suppose you speak this, of our uniting with them, only whilst their Errors are meer Errors of Faith, and consist in Opinion?
A47309If Christ is our Rightful, Sovereign Lord, then we must give up our Wills to his, and perform faithfully whatsoever he orders?
A47309If I be a Father, where is my honour?
A47309If I be a father, where is mine honour?
A47309If a man shows faith without works, can faith save him?
A47309If every Mans Case must then be fully scann''d, and all Actions inquired into, and Pleas heard; methinks, that should be more than one Days Work?
A47309If good Fruits do not spring from Faith, it is because there is but little of it; why take ye thought, O ye of little faith?
A47309If he depends on none, he must be an eternal Being, which never had beginning?
A47309If he prove a Saviour to us, must he Reform, and save us from our sins?
A47309If it is none of these things, what is it we are to understand by God''s Goodness?
A47309If men remain impenitent then, they must die for their own sins, I perceive, notwithstanding?
A47309If so, his Resurrection lays an obligation upon us to obey him?
A47309If the Death and Sacrifice of Christ, were so full a satisfaction at first, there is no more now to be paid, and it need never be repeated?
A47309If the Holy Spirit gives these, then any Man, that has them, may know he has Grace, and that the Holy Ghost dwells and acts in him?
A47309If they turn Preachers of Humility, Purity, the Love of God ▪ and of one another, What becomes of their Apostasie?
A47309If this All- wise God sees through all things, he perfectly understands our Natures?
A47309If this Holy God is so irreconcileably set against sin, sure he can never be the Author of it?
A47309If this be his unalterable Nature, he can never be reconciled to Mens sins, nor take delight in any Man, whilst he goes on to be a sinner?
A47309If thou say in thine Heart, how shall we know the Word, which the Lord hath not spoken?
A47309If we idely neglect, and fail to cultivate our Present Grace then, he will withhold such further Measures, as he Designed us?
A47309In any Miracles then which are proposed to us, we are to look not only at the works, but also at their end, and usefulness?
A47309In carrying on this Work of God, what must we do towards it?
A47309In this one Church, indeed, as it follows in the Creed, there must be a Communion of Saints; what is meant by Saints?
A47309In what doth this Communion consist?
A47309In what place must they live, to wear these Glories, and Feast on all this immense Happiness?
A47309Is Blaspheming God the Father, or the Son unpardonable?
A47309Is Eternal Life another instance of Free- Grace?
A47309Is Faith in Christ one thing necessary to Salvation?
A47309Is Faith in Christ, believing all that is declared to us by Christ, or a giving trust and credit to his Word?
A47309Is God Righteous also as a Judge, that is, when he comes to Judgment, will he impartially execute his Laws, without favour, or respect of Persons?
A47309Is God Righteous as a Law- giver, in imposing only just and Righteous Laws?
A47309Is God present in all places, to take notice of all the actions, both of good and bad Men, which he will thus justly reward or punish?
A47309Is God''s Goodness an undistinguishing Indulgence, that lights promiscuously on all Persons?
A47309Is all this forgiveness then, upon some Terms and Conditions?
A47309Is forgiveness of sins, one instance of God''s Free Grace?
A47309Is he also Patient and Merciful upon their Offences, as well as Bountiful upon their good Services?
A47309Is he like any thing, which we behold with our Eyes, or feel with our Hands, or discern by any Bodily Senses?
A47309Is he mindful of his Servants, and careful to reward all their good Services?
A47309Is he more worthy than either the Father, or the Son?
A47309Is it God also that gives us Children?
A47309Is it God, who gives us all the Fruits of the Earth, and plentiful Seasons?
A47309Is it Providence still, that sends us any crosses, and obstructions, in our designs and business?
A47309Is it a Sin to Erect new Churches, and separate in these Acts of Prayers and Sacraments, from the Body of a Church, or Nation?
A47309Is it also dispensed in the Sacrament of the Lords Supper?
A47309Is it another part of his Kingly Power, to protect his Church from all visible and invisible Enemies?
A47309Is it particularly any part of his Intercession, to hand and present our Prayers?
A47309Is it the same Providence of God, that makes us thrive in our Trades, and gives a prosperous success to us in any business?
A47309Is it unjust also to Separate from a Church, on pretence the Establish''d Means there are less Edifying?
A47309Is not that something positive of his inflicting?
A47309Is that Sinning willfully, willful Apostacy from Christianity?
A47309Is that consistent with Rules of Justice?
A47309Is the Grace of God free, in the first sense, as that excludes all Merits, or so free, as not to be given us for our deserts?
A47309Is the Holy Ghost the Author of all these inward Graces in us, and can we not have them without his Gift?
A47309Is the Holy Ghost the Author of these Offices?
A47309Is the Holy Ghost very God?
A47309Is the unpardonable Sin against the Holy Ghost, a Sin against these miraculous Gifts of his?
A47309Is there also a dispensation of this Pardon, in Priestly Absolution?
A47309Is there any Necessity of a Future Judgment?
A47309Is there any other Rule to be observed, in seeking these Graces of the Holy Spirit?
A47309Is there no assurance of Salvation by Christ, but in his Church?
A47309Is there no other Merit, and Fruit of Christ''s Death?
A47309Is this Attribute of so great account, that in so short a Summary it should be singled out, and particularly mentioned?
A47309Is this Church but one Body?
A47309Is this Great, and Good God, that made, and still preserves, and carefully provides for us, not only our Friend, but also our Father?
A47309Is this Pardon on Repentance a Grace and Favour, which we needed him to purchase for us?
A47309Is this Prediction of future Contingencies, a work peculiar to the All- seeing God, and above the skill of all infernal Spirits?
A47309Is this Sting of Conscience so extreamly tormenting to mens Souls, that it should be compared to a Worm, preying upon their vitals?
A47309Is this forgiveness dispensed to us in the Sacrament of Baptism?
A47309Is this forgiveness in this World perfect, and irreversible, so that when once any sins are struck off, they are never more placed to account?
A47309Is working a Miracle for any Doctrine, a Proof it comes from God?
A47309It is no breach of Church- Unity then, nor Act of sin, to separate from such Imposers of unlawful things?
A47309It is the only Faith that profits; for if a man say he hath faith, and have not works, what doth it profit?
A47309It seems, God has fixed the Day within himself; but is that determinate Day known to any besides himself?
A47309Jesus signifies a Saviour, from what doth Christ save us?
A47309May not the Resurrection be interpreted, only of a Spiritual Resurrection from sin?
A47309Must Men seek thus to God, even in things wherein they are best skilled themselves, and when they are confident they take the surest methods?
A47309Must it also be honest, that is, ha ● e a ● ● ● d Conscience accompanying it, and be seated in one, who is careful to be just to his word?
A47309Must it not teach us the same, in all prospects of dangerous, or tormenting distempers too?
A47309Must it teach us any thing else?
A47309Must it teach us any thing else?
A47309Must it teach us any thing more?
A47309Must not this Belief of the Resurrection of the Body, comfort us upon the death of Friends, when we lay their Bodies in the Graves?
A47309Must not this expectation of Christ''s future Judgment of us, for all our Actions, make us very careful how we lead our Lives?
A47309Must not this make all careful to be Members of this Body, and keep in Comm ● nion with Christ''s Church, who profess Christianity?
A47309Must the Faith, that produces these suitable effects, be assured and confident?
A47309Must they be ascribed to God''s Providence?
A47309Must this consideration, of God''s having in him the Power of all his Creatures, teach us any thing else?
A47309Nay, perhaps endeavours to deceive himself, and come to a Persuasion, that there is no Fault, or, it may be, some Praise in it?
A47309Neither is his Goodness such easiness, as will be won or wearied out, purely by the confidence in requests, and meer importunity of obdurate sinners?
A47309Now our Saviour Christ is Ascended, is not his Glorified Body to take up its Mansion, and fixt Abode at God''s Right- hand?
A47309Or doth he use it in allotting Heaven and Hell, and dispensing Eternal Rewards and Punishments?
A47309Or, when he scourges a sinful Nation, with the Sword, Famine, or Pestilence; do not those involve the innocent, in common with the Criminals?
A47309Ought it not also to teach us Faith in God, and to beget in us a firm Trust, that he will perform whatsoever he has promised?
A47309Ought not that to beget in all Christians, a great dread of Excommunication, and Reverence for Church- Censures?
A47309Ought not that to make us every day secure our Peace with God, and watch always to be in a readiness, and preparation for that great Account?
A47309Out of the mouth of the most high, proceedeth not evil, and good?
A47309Pray now show also how they were as convincingly discriminated, by their intent and design in all others?
A47309Pray what are these suitable affections?
A47309Pray what are those Testimonies?
A47309Pray what are those?
A47309Pray what has he bestowed, for the effecting of this great work?
A47309Pray what is meant by Faith in Christ?
A47309Pray what wants this to make it saving and available unto Righteousness?
A47309Quest And will not this failure of Degrees in good things, need a like Indulgence from this compassionate and benign Judge?
A47309Quest Has God an absolute, and unlimited Power, to command all things?
A47309Quest How long stay''d he upon Earth, after he was risen again?
A47309SInce Men are made to live for ever, and have Souls capable of Eternal Salvation, What must they do to save them?

A47309Shall they also be such perfectly Holy Persons?
A47309Shall they receive any more Perfections?
A47309Shall we continue in Sin, that Grace may abound in pardoning?
A47309Since God gives promotion, is not this enough to make all Men contented and satisfied, when they rest in a lower state, and see others exalted?
A47309Since Holiness was reckon''d one of the Divine Attributes, are not all the three Persons, who are equally God, equal also in Holiness?
A47309Since all that are at any time in these Offices die in one Age, how are they to be continued in the next?
A47309Since the New Covenant offers no Pardon, but to the Penitent; nor saving Grace, but to the Sincere and Industrious?
A47309So that God''s Goodness doth not bespeak such tenderness, as relents at the very sight of all miserable objects?
A47309So that a true member ▪ of Christ, who is allow''d to Pray, and receive the Sacrament in one Church, ought to be allowed the same in every Church?
A47309So that no Prophet, pretending to New Revelation, was to be believed barely on his own word, till some sign from God gave witness to it?
A47309So that then we must answer for all the Actions of our Lives, and receive Reward if they have been good, or Punishment if they have been ill ones?
A47309Surely, being the most dearly Beloved Son of God, he must needs be an Intercessor of Great Power?
A47309The General Judgment, you say, is at the End of the World: Has God decreed a set Time, and fixed a Day for it?
A47309The Holy Catholick Church, the Communion of Saints?
A47309The Spirit of a man will sustain all other his infirmities, but a wounded Spirit who can bear?
A47309The cup, which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
A47309Then we never offend God, nor shall suffer for any thing, but what the Scripture has forbid, and against which we can produce some Law out of it?
A47309These Private Judgments then are much short of the Last Judgment, because then is the Consummation of Reward and Punishment?
A47309This is a stupendious height of Power: how will God employ it?
A47309This shews how able he is to Succeed, but is he willing, and ready to use all his Interest, and move for us?
A47309This will be a most happy Resurrection of the Just: But what kind of Bodies shall the Wicked have?

A47309Would you add any thing further, about the use of these means?
A47309Would you note any thing else, that is like to provoke God to abandon, and give us up to these deluding Spirits?
A47309Yes, as David says of all men, What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death, and shall he deliver his Soul from the hand of Hell?
A47309Yes, for man''s goings are of the Lord, how can a man then understand his own way?

A47309You said, thirdly, that Christ was invested with the Office of a King to his Church, what doth that imply?
A47309You say Men shall be judged for all their Transgressions of Gods Laws; then, to be sure, for all their Sinful Actions?
A47309You speak this of all the Righteous?
A47309You would have no Sinners then to despair of Mercy, or think their Sins greater, than Christ''s merits, or God''s grace, and too big to be forgiven?
A47309and then what need was there for the Holy Ghost to come after him, for a further Instructer?
A47309did not they that spoke these strange Tongues understand themselves?
A47309how intolerable, and irremediable is this State?
A47309i. e. sit with Christ, and approve of his Sentence, when he condemns them?
A47309is it not enough towards forgiveness to do so no more?
A47309must we hope still, when evil is fastning upon us, or at the very door?
A47309must we satisfie for them again?

A47013And he said, I know not: Am my brothers keeper?
A47013And he said, what hast thou done?
A47013And he said: Is it not good, if peace and truth be in my dayes?
A47013And here again they increase their murmuring, for they strove among themselves saying, how can this man give us his flesh to eat?

A47013And if the light of the body be dark, how great must the darkness of that body be?
A47013And if the remedie prove worse then the disease, what hope of health?
A47013And if there were no necessity then, that he should be born, what necessity is there that he should be partaker of Grace after he is born?

A47013And shall not the Word of the Lord, which Ieremy hath spoken unto Baruch, be good?
A47013And that we have walked humbly before the Lord of Hosts?
A47013And this is their condemnation: What?
A47013And thus much, if you observe it, is implyed in the Reply or Answer of them that be saved, to their Judge; Lord, When saw we thee an hungred,& c?
A47013And to shew the absurditie of that inference, he adds this Reason; How shall we that are dead to sin live any longer therein?
A47013And were it not much better to be silenced, then by our preaching to put such stumbling- blocks in their wayes whom we are sent to call unto Christ?

A47013And what?
A47013And wherefore slew he him?

A47013Secondly, What it is for Christ to Dwell, or abide, in us; and us to dwell, or abide, in Him?
A47013Sed quomodo, inquis, dissoluta materia exhiberi potest?
A47013Seeing they did detest this very Fact and the occasions of it?
A47013Seek them not,& c. What were the great things which Baruch sought?
A47013Seekest thou great things for thy self?

A47013Shall the mans bodie then be repaired out of the matter or bodily substance of the fishes, which did eat him?
A47013Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
A47013Shall we not subscribe unto him?
A47013So Christ said to St. Peters Lovest thou me?
A47013THe Questions are Two; First, How the dead shall be raised?
A47013Tell us, art thou the Son of God?
A47013That Christ dyed for him in particular?
A47013That Christs Death did not Merit all the benefits, which God had to bestow upon us?
A47013That his sense of smell hath not been sometimes a pander to these and the like Exorbitances?
A47013That they went about to kill Christ?
A47013That your bodie is the temple of the Holy Ghost?
A47013The Difficulty therefore seems unanswerable, How life should be a more grateful prey unto Baruch, then it might have been unto Josias?
A47013The Kingdom of God is not meat and drink; it neither consists in our use or abstinence from these: what is it then?
A47013The Lord said unto Cain, where is Abel thy Brother?
A47013The Question is, Who they be that believe as S. Peter believed?
A47013The Question then is, Whether the Effects or Impressions of Gods eternal Favour to us, may be deserved or merited by us?
A47013The Question then remains; How the bodies of those men shall be repaired?
A47013The Tract Of the Resurrection, who can express the use of it?
A47013The branch may abide in the Tree; So may the Graft in the Stock, but who would say, That the Tree abideth in the Branch, or the Stock in the Graft?
A47013The former Resolution was the Root of those branches of this Dutie; who is weak and I am not weak?
A47013The former imports thus much; How is it possible that the Dead shall be raised?
A47013The onely question then remaining, is, What this Will of his heavenly Father is?
A47013The second Question or Quaerie is, With what kind of bodies shall the dead arise?
A47013The second question proposed, by the Corinthian Naturalist, was, with what bodies shall the dead come forth or appear?
A47013The second, With what bodies shall they come forth?
A47013Theirs especially, who have scarce been so much as scribes to a learned Prophet, scarce ever brought up in Jerusalem at any Gamaliels feet?
A47013Then I contended with the Nobles of Judah, and said unto them; What evil thing is this which ye do, and prophane the Sabbath day?
A47013Then the High Priest rent his clothes, saying; he hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses?
A47013They Spake against God, they said, can God furnish a table in the wildernesse?
A47013This is the Importance of Saint Johns words; He that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hoth not seen?
A47013Thou that teachest, a man should not steal; doest thou steal?
A47013Thus saith God; Why transgress ye the Commandements of the Lord that ye can not prosper?
A47013To the Fourth Question, How Fathers sins are visited upon the Children?
A47013To what doth he perswade men?
A47013To what end then doth God bestow his Grace upon us, if with this we can not defend our selves, as with a weapon?
A47013To what end then doth this Admonition serve?
A47013To what use or end then doth this Grace serve?
A47013To whom, saith the Author of the Homily, did he give his Son?
A47013Ubi( quoeso) exercendae?
A47013Unto the Elect most will grant: But is his Love so tender towards such as perish?
A47013Unto the former Question; Art Thou The Christ?
A47013Vos Juvenes( shall I say?)
A47013Was Regulus then a better man by this practise, then without it he could have been?
A47013Was he founded on Christ by the intermediation, or interposition of any other secondarie foundation?
A47013Was he the foundation or Rock on which himself was built?
A47013Was it a matter more hard to make the impenitent Jew bring forth fruits worthy of Repentance, then to make a Virgin conceive and beare a son?
A47013Was it then prepared for all, or for a Certain number?
A47013Was the Vineyard more barren then Sarah?
A47013Was this Injunction then given him by way of Counsel, or necessary Precept?
A47013What Comfort can it be to this present that the Former Generation was so Bad?
A47013What Comfort then doth the Gospel of Christ afford us Christians more, then Moses his Law did the Israelites?
A47013What Fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed?
A47013What Rule doth he mean?
A47013What are those but ▪ meer enlargements of the former calamities, which ensued the Butchery of Zacharias?
A47013What better Assurance could any man require, then the solemn promise of so powerful and gracious a Lord?
A47013What can the Eloquence of man adde to this Invitation in this place?
A47013What could I have done more for my vineyard, that I have not done unto it?
A47013What could I have done more to my vine- yard that I have not done unto it?
A47013What course of life, what branch of lewdness more infamous by the Law of God then ryot or drunkenness?

A46991Do we want the Churches proposal?
A46991Do ye believe these sacred Volumes to be the Word of God?
A46991Do you know as certainly, whether both agree as well as one part of Moses writings with another?
A46991Doth Christ here leave them, because destitute of a Rule to recall them?
A46991Doth he love us( trow we) better then himself?
A46991Doth he then intimate here any such Prerogative above the meanest of his brethren, as the Romish Clergie usurps over the whole Christian World?
A46991Doth it indeed shine there?
A46991Doth the Pope then professe more skill in Saint Iohns Revelations then any other?
A46991Doth the Scripture then serve as a streight Rule to direct them, how they should ask aright?
A46991Doth the proposal make divine Truths more perspicuous in themselves?
A46991Et cum clamarem quo nunc se proripit ille?
A46991Et si quis insantem baptizer, ● …, nonne 〈 ◊ 〉 censebitur, si dubitet an insans ille sit vere justificatus?
A46991For a Jesuite would say, Why should he not think others as likely to have the Spirit, as himself?
A46991For after a second replie made by Gideon,[ Ah my Lord, whereby shall I save Israel?
A46991For can any man think, he sees where these fierce Blows would light?
A46991For even where the best and most industrious Ministers are, thorowout this Land, how scarce is this Christian Obedience to be found?
A46991For he that seeketh his own glory( as what Pope is there doth not so?
A46991For how can we be certain that the Church doth teach al those particulars which the Jesuites propose unto us?
A46991For if a man should ask, why do you believe there is a fire in yonder house?
A46991For in what sense is Christ said to be the Foundation?
A46991For seeing this Blindnesse in most men is not Voluntary, at the least, not Wilfull or affected, the Captions will yet demand; How shall they help it?
A46991For so they demand of John severally;* Art thou the Christ?
A46991For take we this Kingdom with its defects; what wonder can Revolutions of time afford like to this late mentioned?
A46991For what Enterprise is there of greater moment, but divers Men will be of divers Minds, concerning the Lawfulnesse or Unlawfulnesse of it?
A46991For what Nation is so Great unto whom the Gods come so near unto them, as the Lord our God is near unto us in all that we come unto Him 〈 ◊ 〉?
A46991For what could be more plainly set down then many Testimonies of their Messias?
A46991For what glory could the allurement of silly ignorant men to simple idolatry be unto great Antichrist?
A46991For what greater Prerogative could Christ himself challenge, then such as Bellarmine( for the present Popes sake) would make Saint Peters?
A46991For what man could limit others thoughts, or rule their wits which lived after him?
A46991For what though some one, some few, or more such men, will apprehend this or that to be the full Meaning of some controversed place in Scripture?
A46991For what victory gotten by any Roman was like unto this either for the multitude of the Slain, or the Captives?
A46991For when his Disciples said unto him, Perceivest thou not that the Pharis ● es are offended in hearing this saying?
A46991For whence springs sorcery properly so called?
A46991For why should he?
A46991Foreri ● s Correction of the Vulgar for authentick, seeing his skil in the Hebrew, and good wil to the old Vulgar, was so great?
A46991From Tradition of whom?
A46991From what History therefore do they believe the Pope is Peters Successor?
A46991G ● ● forbid I should doubt of this: Do ye believe this new doctrine confirmed by miracles as firmly?
A46991Gods wonders past they were to consider, to what end?
A46991Hast thou never read how the builders must first refuse That Stone which the Lord wil afterwards appoint Chief in the corners?
A46991Hath the number of glorified Saints been encreased by their departure from earth?
A46991Have ne any brother?
A46991He desires but to be reputed an infallible teacher, and was not Moses such?
A46991He hath more skil we see in these particulars, then the Gods adored by us Egyptians: therefore in all?
A46991Hence they further question the Baptist; † Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not the Christ, neither Elias, nor the Prophet?
A46991Here Christ is of one Opinion, the Jews of another concerning the Sense of Scripture: Who shall judge?
A46991His words are these: Q ● id autem precatio ad Deum pro sap ● entiae interpretati ● … 〈 ◊ 〉?
A46991How became it a common place of Poetical invention, whilest Poetrie it self was but beginning?
A46991How can we be assured that God doth teach us any of these things?
A46991How can you assure us, ye may not be deceived as well as they?
A46991How can your hope be sure?
A46991How chances it then he saith not; fix your eyes on mine that have seen the glory of the Lord, and the Prophets light shal shine unto you?
A46991How chanceth it your fore- elders did not put it in practise, and make the Power of it better known?
A46991How disrespectfull was he of Mammon, the God of this world, the golden Image which Kings and Potentates have set up?
A46991How had he glorified it before?
A46991How is he then, as our adversaries contend, the Church, or such a part of it, unto whom all, even Peter himself( were he alive) must appeal?
A46991How know ye that God spake with Moses in the wildernesse, or with your Fathers in Mount Sinai?
A46991How know ye the Scriptures are Gods Word?
A46991How knows he this certainly, without an infallible publick spirit?
A46991How much better then were it for such silly souls, had they never known the Books of Moses, to have been from God?
A46991How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken?
A46991How shamefully doth the wanton Poets faign his Gods to long after such matters, as he himself did most delightin?
A46991How should we know This or That Clause or Sentence( if we should find them alone) to be Gods word?
A46991How was it in their Mouthes and in their Hearts, when it was so obscure, and difficult unto them, after Moses Death?
A46991If Christ did not, who then had reason to accuse them?
A46991If a man might ask you, where was this your supposed Infallibilitie then?
A46991If by revelation you do not believe it by what means else?
A46991If he had none, how shall the Pope( by his own challenge but his Vicar) have any to convince his Adversaries?
A46991If he say no, must I not believe him?
A46991If it were not, why did he pray to God to understand it?
A46991If question were made of the manner how the life of man and other creatures is preserved, when as their heat might seem to choak them?
A46991If the Pope send his Writs to assure us, what Critick so cunning as to assure us, whether they be authentick or counterfeit?
A46991If the Popes infallibility can not perform this, to what use doth it serve?
A46991If the use of it be as free to them as to Catholicks: what debars them from this benefit?
A46991If they were not, why doth Bellarmin bring this place to prove the Popes infallible Authority, in teaching divine truths?
A46991If they were, why doth the Lord complain in the words immediately following?
A46991If they will not believe Moses and the Prophets, saith our Saviour, neither will they be perswaded though one were raised from the dead: why So?
A46991If thus he should doubt, and yet finally rest content with this or like suggestion; why?
A46991If ye beleeve not his Writings, how shall ye beleeve my Words?
A46991If yet it be further questioned, how you know the Churches Proposal or avounching of this Revelation to be infallible?
A46991Igitur siquis rogetur, v. g Quare credat Deum esse trinum& unum?
A46991In respect of the universal Church throughout all Ages, or of the Jewish Synagogue for the time being only?
A46991In the former Case the Answer must be, Because God hath revealed it: If it be demanded again how you know that God hath revealed it?
A46991In what Facultie?
A46991In what respect then was his ordinary Ministrie or Apostle- ship, so extraordinarily powerful?
A46991Is every man that eateth any thing, which he Doubts whether it were better for him not to eat, straight Condemned?
A46991Is his Teaching more infallible then Christs was?
A46991Is it more to have the Holy Ghost attend on Simon Magus hands, but not on them alone, then to have him tied only unto the Popes Tongue or Pen?
A46991Is it not that which Valentian elsewhere assigns?
A46991Is it not the pretended priviledge of the same spirit which exempts the Pope from privatenesse, and makes his authority oecumenical and infallible?
A46991Is not this as much as if he had said, because the Church, vvhich is infallible, proposeth it to me?
A46991Is the violence of that strom, which destroyed the five Cities, strange, and above the force of nature?
A46991Is this the Use of your infallible Rule?
A46991It Christ submit his Divine Doctrine to any other Rule, how dare the Pope deny submission of his to the same?
A46991Many Moors, professing Mahumetism, were transported from Portugal the same time, but had no such violence offered them: what was the reason?
A46991Many others have continued holy and righteous, according to their measure untill the end: but who could be certain of this besides themselves?
A46991Many places of far greater Difficultie they could with Dexteritie unfold: how chanced it then they are so Blinded in the other?
A46991Marmoreo Licinus tumulo jacet; at Cato parv ●, Pompeius nullo; quis putet esse Deos?
A46991May private Spirits discern their true Sence in matters of Faith, as clearly as if they were a Light indeed to thee?
A46991May we not then safely think, they meant what their words naturally import?
A46991Might not S. Peter have conferred this ‖ extraordinary Gift as wel upon him, as he did his Infallibility upon the Pope?
A46991Miracles?
A46991Must his sentence herein of necessity be followed?
A46991Must not he that enables you to see them, enable you to distinguish them seen?
A46991Must not the Church?
A46991Must not the Churches infallibility herein assure you?
A46991Must others appeal to him, as Judge, in his own cause?
A46991Must you not wholly rely upon my authority, whether this be white, or that black?
A46991Nam quis omnino haereticorum hoc putat?
A46991No, But how at all by tradition?
A46991No?
A46991Not without the Popes ratification: with it they are?
A46991Numidae latronum principi magis decorum quàm Romano Imperatori?
A46991O God, how long shall the adversary reproach?
A46991Of Pastors, some are Prelates, some inferiours; whether are to be preferred before the other?
A46991Of how much beter insight in Scriptures, then these grand Seers of Rome, would blind Homer, had he lived in their time, have proved?
A46991Of men, what men?
A46991Of the infallible Church?
A46991Of whom were they so to esteem?
A46991Or are his Curses to the disobedient more terrible, then the everlasting Woes pronounced by our Saviour Christ and his Prophets?
A46991Or can you hope to salve this Inconvenience by an Implicit or Hypothetical Faith?
A46991Or did these willingly and wittingly go astray, as knowing their wayes to be the wayes of death?
A46991Or if the Pope can not expound the Scriptures, as effectually and perspicuously as Saint Paul did; why doth he not at the least work miracles?
A46991Or shall he give Sight, where he that made the eye hath called for Blindnesse?
A46991Or shall thy answer stand for good in his sight, when thou shalt say unto his Messenger: It is more then I know, that Christ Commands me?
A46991Or tell us, what Warrant have you for inventing or establishing your supposed most excellent Order for taking up Controversies?
A46991Or were their Comments upon that place Orthodoxal?
A46991Or whence is it, that every Heretick is so forward to urge Scriptures for his Opinion even to the Death?
A46991Or who can hinder his Omnipotency even in this Age to make his Power seen in our Weaknesse?
A46991Or, how shall we know that this we call Scripture, is the Word of God?
A46991Or, if he would answer directly to this demand,[ To what end did God cause the Scriptures to be written?]
A46991Peter feed my sheep?
A46991Put wherein did their Impietie consist?
A46991Quale vero esset Prophetis Aposto lisque ● oquentibus, fidem, ea acceptione, detrahere, quod perperam Dei verba intellexissent?
A46991Quare?
A46991Quis furor hic( shall I say) ne moriare, mort; or rather, no possis ● … tare, perire?
A46991Quo teneam vultus mutantem Protea nodo?
A46991Sceleratissime hominum, quis te malus daemon ad nos adduxit?
A46991Secondly, what Proportion is there between the Churches Authority,( such Authority as he claims for his Church) and a Candlestick?
A46991Shal this debar them from being the infallible Rule of Faith?
A46991Shal we equalize Man with God, or Humane Authority with Divine?
A46991Shall that then be Evident which every man shall say is Evident unto him?
A46991Shall the women eat their fruit,& children of a span long: shall the Priest and the Prophet be slain in the Sanctuary of the Lord?
A46991Shall they therefore stretch out their Net, and not spare continually to slay the Nations?
A46991Shall we forsake Christ, Our, us Saint Peters b ● st Master, to become Scholers unto your Staphilus, or Ho ● … C ● …?
A46991Should I for this Reason, forthwith deny Obedence to my Instructors?
A46991Si peccaverit in te frater tuus,& c By this reason then the Pope must appeal to the Church; who then are meant by the Church?
A46991Si primum; respondeat, qui a Deus revelavit: Si rursus interrogetur unde cognoscat Deum revelasse?
A46991Si rursus, unde cognoscat propositionem Ecclesiae esse infallibilem?
A46991So saith the Lord to All the Earth without Exception: For Lo I begin to plague the City where my name is called upon, and should you go free?
A46991Soto and Bellarmin reprove him: but how could either of them discern whether Catharinus had the true Meaning of the Trent Councel or not?
A46991Tell me then, first, by what Place of Scripture thy Disobedience in this particular can be Warranted?
A46991Tell us then distinctly: Can it, or can it not make all, or most, or such as the Scriptures do not, Believe aright?
A46991That not the greatest Schollars in reformed Churches can be as sure of their true Sense and Meaning, as the Pope?
A46991That they had not believed his words, nor given due credence to his works?
A46991The Councels, What Councels?
A46991The Elders( saith he) which are among you, I beseech, which am, what?
A46991The Lord( saith David) is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear?
A46991The Pope, or Cardinals?
A46991The Question is, whether denying Obedience upon such Perswasions, they do well or ill?
A46991The Question is, whether of these two doth sinne the more?
A46991The Question then must be, For what Cause the Scriptures are a Snare to some mens feet: because they admit and embrace them, for their Rule of Life?
A46991The Roman: that consists of divers members: In it some are Pastors, some are sheep; whether have better interest in that Promise?
A46991The Scriptures?
A46991The first, If the Scriptures be plain and easie, how comes it to passe, that there should be such Contentions amongst the Learned about them?
A46991The infallible Church?
A46991The present Church?
A46991Then I heard it, but I understood it not: then said I, O my Lord what shall be the end of these things?
A46991Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah saying, Behold, I am the Lord God of all flesh, is there any thing too hard for me?
A46991Then his servant said unto him, Alas master, how shall we do?
A46991Then said I, Lord, how long?
A46991They sit in Moses se ● t, all therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe ● and do?
A46991This is suspitious indeed; but how shall I know whether the Popes Agent in doing this, do disobey his Holinesse?
A46991Thou that wouldest make others beleave the Pope is such, dost thou beleeve the Scriptures to be Infallible?
A46991To all that will associate themselves to that Church?
A46991To what end?
A46991To what other use then could miracles serve, save onely to breed a praeviall admiration, and make entrance for them into his hearers hearts?
A46991To what purpose do men, guided by the Spirit of God, inclucate these or like Admonitions so oft?
A46991To what use then did the sight of all Gods Wonders, or of Miracles wrought by Moses serve?
A46991To which fair Profer the Emperour( as pettish as they had been peevish) in a distracted Chafe replied: But where shall I find so many Souldiers?
A46991To which they answered, We have heard out of the Law, that the Christ bideth forever; and how sayest thou that the Son of Man must be lift up?
A46991To whom then did he commit it?
A46991Triumphant or Militant?
A46991Undertaken it was by Gods appointment, effected by the assistance of his Eternal Spirit, to the end we might Believe the Truth: what Truth?
A46991Unto whom was this said?
A46991Upon what conditions then, may we presume, wil it please his Holinesse for to grant it?
A46991Visible or Invisible?
A46991Vox aliorum est; Paulus se ● ● udavit, Paulus vi ● iones in raptu suscepit; cur non potest modo Dominus in talibus& talibus similia opera ● i?
A46991Was he assisted by the Eternal Spirit, who then perfectly knew the several tempers, and capacities of evey Age?
A46991Was he to take all this pains, only that he might learn to execute the Priests indefinite sentence?
A46991Was he to them a Prophet, mighty in word and deed: and yet not able to perform what he had constantly spoken?
A46991Was it from Heaven?
A46991Was it not the authority of this spirit which made S. Peter himself to be so authentick in his doctrine?
A46991Was not Peter such in respect even of his fellow Apostles?
A46991Was not that villany it self authorized from Rome, where it found such extraordinary approbation?
A46991Was that his charity, his faith, or both?
A46991Was the Doctrine of Justification and Merits held by any of their Doctors heretofore, as the later Jesuites have refined them?
A46991We demand how ● … of their Churches Infallibility can possibly be proved?
A46991Well said: do you not think it reason then to be ruled in this case, by such as can not be deceived?
A46991Were they ever a whit more happie for being heirs to that glorious Promise; Thou art Peter, and upon this Rock will I build my Church?
A46991What Catholick, visible, militant Church?
A46991What Catholick?
A46991What Church?
A46991What Difference can you here imagine?
A46991What Effect, or issue, can the Roman assign answerable unto them?
A46991What Proof could he make to their Consciences, but only from the Evidence of that Truth which he taught, and his Sincerity in teaching it?
A46991What Rule then was left?
A46991What Scriptures?
A46991What Truth?
A46991What are these then?
A46991What did Troys Fall, or Phrygian Spoyles, the Graecians State advance?
A46991What difference then can any make betwixt theirs and our Doctrine in this Point?
A46991What follows?
A46991What hath this Jesuite got then, by his fierce objecting this difficulty of learning Humility, for to make the Scriptures seem Obscure?
A46991What if I do not?
A46991What if I do?
A46991What if I know not this Particular to be such?
A46991What if all of them do not agree about the true Sense and Meaning of that Word whereto all appeal?
A46991What if they did?
A46991What if we would invent the like?
A46991What is it then can hinder, either them, from manifesting; or us, from discerning, their Truth or true meaning manifested?
A46991What is it then to have the Churches Authority, only to know her Decrees concerning those portions of Scriptures?
A46991What is the Cause?
A46991What is the Consequence or Effect of this our Calling?
A46991What is the Reason?

A46991What manner of Peace and Unity was that?
A46991What manner of Submission, or what kind of Obedience doth he here exact?
A46991What means would you prescribe to win either of these two Unbelievers to the Truth?
A46991What must you do then to be ascertained these are divine revelations?
A46991What one did ever bewray the least desire to have his interpretations of them, universally held authentick?
A46991What private man is there, that knows the secret Intents or Purposes of the State, in most Actions of publick Service?

A46991What shall I do unto this people?
A46991What shall assure us of the Truth of either?
A46991What shall be said or thought of This?
A46991What spirit then( may we think) did possesse* Bellarmine, when he avouched that the Church and Common- weals are different in this case?
A46991What then?
A46991What then?
A46991What then?
A46991What was it then Peter was to strengthen in others?
A46991What was it then which caused his present grief?
A46991What was the comfort Saint Peter himself could ever have reaped thence?
A46991What was the reason of this diversity in their judgement?
A46991What was the reason then of his misbelieving, or rather overseeing that part of the law?
A46991What was the reason then the Jews would not; the Turks, unto this day, will not believe in Christ crucified?
A46991What was the reason they did not believe?
A46991What was the reason?
A46991What were these?
A46991What, did the Sign of the Son of m ● n appear?
A46991What?
A46991When was he so glorified?
A46991Where did the visible Church keep residence in those dayes?
A46991Whereat then did all these Signs point?
A46991Wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, even against Moses?
A46991Wherein then was the true Wonder seen?
A46991Whereof then wil the Pope be Judge?
A46991Whether he will Confesse or Deny Christ before men?
A46991Whether is more meet?
A46991Whether many of their Stock, whom Emanuel detained in Portugal, have not been transported since into America?
A46991Whether some better or clearer exposition may not be hoped for, then the Pope or Councel, for the present, tenders to us?
A46991Whether thou hast learned to deny thy Self, and thy Assections?
A46991Who can tell how oft he offendeth?
A46991Who could expect, that one of ten in either Sex should return to give like thanks to God in the presence of his Priests or Prophets?
A46991Who could give, or who would demand a naturall cause why life should be preserved?
A46991Who could not by this Exception excuse himself from performance of necessary Allegeance or Service?
A46991Who is that Son of Man?
A46991Who shall judge?
A46991Who should judge betwixt them, or whither were they to repair for resolution?
A46991Who would think, but that it were more likely one should die rather of hunger then thirst in the Wildernesse?
A46991Whom did he mean?
A46991Whom?
A46991Why could they not?
A46991Why doth Christ cease to be the Foundation in becoming the head stone in the corner?
A46991Why hast thou prophesied in the name of Lord, saying; This house shall be like Shiloh, and this City shall be desolate without an inhabitant?
A46991Why may not Christ then, though absent, be that onely supreme head, whence universally the Church receiveth unitie?
A46991Why may not the Authority of Scripture be accounted such?
A46991Why might not an Heretick of malice have forged, or a Scribe through negligence altered them?
A46991Why not ashamed?
A46991Why not unbelievingly?
A46991Why should they Believe this?
A46991Why should they believe it?
A46991Why then are they not alike perspicuous to all, that hear, read, or know the Churches testimonie of them?
A46991Why then did Jansenius and Hesselius renounce the Fathers in this?
A46991Why then do most men think themselves bound to Obey the State, against their private Doubts or Fears?
A46991Why then doth he make it but a condition necessary or requisite to this assent?
A46991Why then is Moses, whom thus they honoured, become their chief Accuser?
A46991Why withdrawest thou thine hand, even thy right hand?
A46991Why?
A46991Why?
A46991Will men Believe a Jesuite from the Pope, when they will not Believe Moses, and the Prophets, nor Christ Jesus himself?
A46991Will this, or any other Rule of Scripture help us out of this Labyrinth?
A46991Yea, but what if the Church teach us that Christ is our Lord and Redeemer, and ● et urge us to do that which is contumelious to his Majesty?
A46991Yea, how could they not be desirous to lay down this life it self, upon hope of obtaining such a life?
A46991Yea, what was there that worldly minded men either desireor know, which was not at his command?
A46991Yes, By tradition onely?
A46991Yet a Roman would reply: If Pompey had so grievously offended, why should He not have born the whole burden of His sins?
A46991Yet as these Embassadours of God deceased, can not be Judges: shall they therefore have no Say at all in deciding conroversies of faith?
A46991Yet can any man doubt, whether this Church would authorize murther, or Canonize Assasinates, for her own advantage?
A46991Yet what greater authority could he require, then that Angel had, which spake unto Gideon?
A46991Yet, how should they be certain that this is the Pope, rather then some Counterfeit?
A46991You are most certain then that these are the Oracles of God, because the visible Church( Gods living Oracle) did bear testimony of them?

A62040Where still is the fault, that I am so unfruitful, and do not encourage others to enter themselves in thy family?
A62040Wheresoever O my soul, thou goest, thou mayst by meditation get some steps nearer thine eternal weal; Art thou walking?
A62040Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women?
A62040Who can abide that day of his coming?
A62040Who can dwell in everlasting burnings?
A62040Who can stand before this holy God?
A62040Who can work Miracles, forgive Sins,& c. as Christ did?
A62040Who ever sent away silver or gold, because brought to him in a bag of Leather?
A62040Who is afflicted, and I burn not?
A62040Who is thy greatest enemy, God or they?
A62040Who is weak, and I am not weak?
A62040Who may appoint Apostles, constitute Laws for the Church,& c. as Christ did?
A62040Who shall stand when he appeareth?
A62040Who was that?
A62040Who will do thee most good, God or they?
A62040Who would esteem much of that flower which flourisheth and looks lovely in the morning, but perisheth and is withered at night?
A62040Who would give way to sinful wantons, who beleiveth that whilst he is unloading his lust, God may put a period to his life?
A62040Who would not be greedy of acquaintance, with men of such surpassing eminence?
A62040Who?
A62040Whom have I in Heaven but thee, and there is none upon Earth that I desire in comparison of thee?
A62040Why am I so false to my God?
A62040Why may not my soul find some Pearl in the Heads of these Toads, and get some spirital riches, by trading with them for temporal?
A62040Why may not my stomach be so good, and my spiritual constitution so strong, as to concoct such unwholsom food?
A62040Why seekest thou living comforts, amongst dead creatures, it is gone, it is not here?
A62040Why should I fear that Messenger which brings such good news, and be troubled at that friend who will do me so great a courtesie?
A62040Why should I not always provide for that extremity, that enemy which I can not avoid?
A62040Why should I not ever be ready for that which may come at any time, and will come at some time or other?
A62040Why should I not when he calls for it, restore it with thanks, that he hath been pleased to lend it me so long?
A62040Why should I sadden the good?
A62040Why should any mans eye be evil towards his Brother, because Gods is good to him?
A62040Why should not my soul be joyful at the great share of spiritual riches, which the onely wise God hath given some of my brethren?
A62040Why should this Worm lye gnawing at the root, and hinder my soul from glorifying thee, by bringing forth much fruit?
A62040Why should we that are so near together, be such strangers to each other?
A62040Why tarry the wheels of his Chariot?
A62040Why then should I seek that love which can not help me, or fear that hate which can not hurt me?
A62040Wilt not thou O God?
A62040Wilt not thou joyn thy self to these excellent ones?
A62040Wilt thou believe a lying world, a deceitful flesh, a destroying Devil, or the God of truth?
A62040Wilt thou not value a pearl of such infinite price, and disesteem all the meekness and forbearance of men, in comparison of the patience of thy God?
A62040Wilt thou say ● Thou hast no time, no leasure to be saved, to escape Hell, and to attain Heaven?
A62040Wilt thou stand to this Plea at the day of Christ?
A62040With what reason can I look for succour from Heaven, when I run my self into the jaws of Hell?
A62040Would Achan have coveted the golden wedge, if he had mused of his so sudden departure into the other world?
A62040Would I be contented to be defrauded?
A62040Would I be dealt thus with, were I as this man is, or as this woman?
A62040Would I be found in Satans livery at the last?
A62040Would I be glad to be served so as I serve others?
A62040Would I be willing to have this measure measured to me or mine?
A62040Would I neglect my spiritual watch?
A62040Would I play it away in vain company?
A62040Would the Israelites have tempted God for meat, if they had thought that death should have been their sauce?
A62040Wouldst thou for any carnal profit, be found amongst those persons who are every moment in danger of the bottomless pit?
A62040Wouldst thou for the most prosperous Worldlings life, dye such a death?
A62040Yea, I hate them with perfect hatred; and shall thy friend fare as thy foes?
A62040Yet alas, though it be so prejudicial, how natural is it to us?
A62040am I in Gods way, under his protection, or no?
A62040and canst thou fail of fulfilling it?
A62040and do we not want their company who carry a light, a lanthorn with them?
A62040and ought I not to delight most in that Copy which is nearest the Original?
A62040and shall not I be comforted the more for the greatness of its savour?
A62040and shall not Saints agree together to please the Spirit of the Lord?
A62040and shall not we encourage one another in the Worship of the living God, and provoke one another to love and to good works?
A62040and shall not we, whose graces are ever alike, and of a cementing nature, not joyn together for God and his Worship?
A62040and the innocency of Daniel in the soul of Darius?
A62040and to avoid( at most) a raze in thy flesh, admit a wide gash in thy conscience?
A62040and what concord hath Christ with Belial?
A62040and what shall I answer, when God shall ask me as once he did Aaron and Miriam, Wast thou not afraid to speak against my Servant Moses?
A62040and who shall stand in his holy place?
A62040and why art thou come to me now thou art in distress?
A62040and wilt not thou go and come at the voice of God?
A62040and wilt not thou spend and be spent for thy Saviour?
A62040and wilt thou be angry with thy friend for doing thee that courtesie?
A62040and wilt thou dare him to his face, and provoke him before his eyes, and cast him behind thy back, as not deserving to be minded or regarded?
A62040and wilt thou sport with their souls, and joyn with them in making a mock of sin?
A62040are not thy engagements to God infinitely above theirs?
A62040at what a distance do they behold me?
A62040but to help and enable thee to draw nigh to him, to seek out after him, to desire him, and delight in him, as thy onely happiness and heaven?
A62040but what doth your arguing reprove?
A62040can he judge through the dark Cloud?
A62040didst thou not deride, and jeer, and persecute me, against all the commands, and threatnings, and promises, and intreaties of God, and his word?
A62040do thou wound thy own soul with sorrow?
A62040dost thou not blush at thy own backwardness in bringing souls to thy God, ● hen the Emissaries of Hell are so forward?
A62040hast thou watched thy self this day, and kept thy heart with all diligence?
A62040hath he any need of thee?
A62040he can give thee rest; art thou full of sorrows?
A62040he is risen, he is not here; Am I a poor finite being in Gods stead to satisfie the vast desires of thy capacious soul?
A62040he is the con ● olation of Israel; art thou poor in grace?
A62040how diligent to do all the good I could, to receive all the good I might?

A62040how many dangers are we delivered from?
A62040how many excuses will it plead for its neglect?
A62040how many orders and degrees of elect Spirits?
A62040how much disgrace, ignominy, slander, oppression, art thou liable to?
A62040how pleasant to the taste?
A62040how slow to conceive and believe spiritual things?
A62040how soberly wilt thou use them, even as in Gods sight?
A62040how soft to the touch?
A62040how untowardly doth it enter upon them?
A62040how wast thou imployed?
A62040how watchful to catch at, and embrace all opportunities of honouring and serving my Maker and Redeemer?
A62040how weak is my spirit in their performance?
A62040if not, how wilt thou be able to bear the loss of all worldly comforts, in a dying hour?
A62040in what part art thou bettered?
A62040in what part of the world is local Hell?
A62040is he any debtor to thee?
A62040is it not expresly against his dominion over me, and that Allegiance which I owe to him?
A62040is it not his ● rd ● that his Son may be an honour to him, contin ● ● his name with credit, and be a prop and suppo ● ● to his family?

A62040is not he a fool, that ventureth his inestimable soul, at every trifling cast, and runneth headlong upon the greatest hazards?
A62040is the work I do, warrantable by the word or no?
A62040let him Pray; But, Is any sick?
A62040let him Pray; yet when he mentioneth sickness, he saith not; Is any sick?
A62040my carriage in them is wholly unsutable to their weight and worth, and what need then do I stand in, of help from others?
A62040no good is little that is eternal; how great then is the infinite and eternal God?
A62040of the Spirit?
A62040or a stripling nodding, fit to enter the Lists with Goliah?

A62040septuaginta prope annis serviisti Christo& mortem times?
A62040should I dally about secret or private duties, or be careless of my carriage in my calling?
A62040should I take it well to be defamed?
A62040so unfaithful to my Covenants?
A62040that none must teach me, but those that are eminent in grace and gifts?
A62040thou hast served Christ almost seventy years, and art thou afraid of death?
A62040though the voyce of ignorant men is, Who is not sufficient for these things?
A62040to stand in the Kings Palace; What manner of men are those then, whom the glorious God hath chosen to wait upon him?
A62040to what profit?
A62040was ever patience represented in such lively, lovely colours?
A62040was it mingled with faith?

A093396. is verie true, who speaking of Simon Magus, saith, What good did it to him to be baptized?
A093398. Who shall accuse Gods elect?
A09339A man that neuer stirred foote out of England holds and enioyes land in Turkie: but how comes it to be his?
A09339A rare thing it is, to finde this vertue in the world now adaies: who is he that maketh conscience of a lie?
A09339A worthie saying: for what is the thing which Paul committed vnto the Lord?
A09339ARe not we then borne of God?
A09339Admit thou shalt be deliuered from hell by Christ, what will this auaile thee, considering that thou shalt neuer come to the kingdom of heauen?
A09339After I haue thus prepared them, I then demand, whether they haue beene euer in this case or no?
A09339After that a man hath led a short life in this world, what followeth thē?
A09339After what manner doth God heare his seruants prayers?
A09339Afterward Naomi her mother in lawe said vnto her, My daughter, shall not I seeke rest for thee, that thou maiest prosper?
A09339Againe it may be asked, whether all mankind were euer in the couenant or no?
A09339Againe, if Christ be an effectuall Sauiour of all and euery particular man, why is any man condemned?
A09339Againe, if all title to the creatures be rocouered by Christ, it may bee demanded, whether infidels haue any interest to their goods or no?
A09339Againe, who knoweth the minde of the Lord?
A09339Ah my good brother what is the matter with you?
A09339Alas, we fall oft by infirmitie: what shall we then doe?
A09339Among all the burdens that can befall a man, what is the greatest?
A09339An example whereof we haue in Dauid, Who knowes, saith he, the errours of this life?
A09339And Dauid said to Saul, Wherefore giuest thou an eare to mens wordes, that say, Behold, Dauid seeketh euill against thee?
A09339And Dauid sent, and inquired what woman it was: and one said, Is not this Bethsheba the daughter of Elian, wife to Vriah the Hittite?
A09339And Dauid, Why art thou cast downe my soule?
A09339And Eli said vnto her, How long wilt thou be drūken?
A09339And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake vnto the men, and Eliab was angrie with Dauid, and said, Why camest thou downe hither?
A09339And Ionah praied vnto the Lord, and saide, I pray thee, O Lord, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my countrey?
A09339And Samuel said to Saul, why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me vp?
A09339And a little after he saith, Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect?
A09339And after that man is created, what is his life?
A09339And againe Paul saith to the Romans, Why doest thou iudge thy brother?
A09339And are these the strong weapons, which so many times, and in so many wordes, haue beene obiected against me by D. Andreas?
A09339And by the example of Paul, when Christ saith, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
A09339And crie out with Paul, O wretched man that I am, who shall deliuer me from this bodie of death?
A09339And doth the law make thee feele it?
A09339And first by reason of manifolde doubtings that rise in our mindes, it may be demaunded, whether there be a God?
A09339And hast thou kept the lawe of this thy Lord and King?
A09339And haue you nowe forgotten those promises, which were so often made to them that repent?
A09339And he said vnto them, Why doe ye such things?
A09339And he said, What wouldest thou?
A09339And hence God saith, If I be a master, where is my feare?
A09339And here two questions must be skanned: where man is bound?
A09339And his father would not displease him from his childhood, to say, Why hast thou done so?
A09339And how can wee be set at libertie by Christ, except we feele our selues to be in bondage, vnder hell, death, and damnation?
A09339And how should they which are iustified haue peace with God, if they were not sure to perseuer righteous before God to the end?
A09339And howe often see wee by experience, that he which at one time tooke the foile in a combate, at another did win the price?
A09339And howe shall Gods mercie bee infinite, when wee by our satisfactions must adde a supply to the satisfaction of Christ?
A09339And howe shall a man perceiue this obedience?
A09339And howe shall they heare without a preacher?
A09339And if God should leaue his people in the gra ● e vnder death for euer, how could they be called the people of God?
A09339And if he deceiue vs in that which is more easie to find, how shal we trust him in things that be harder?
A09339And if no man might certainly know, whether he beleeued truly or not: why doth the Apostle say, Trie your selues whether you be in the Faith?
A09339And in Malachie he saith, If I be your Lord where is my feare?
A09339And of Dauid who made his moane after this manner: Is his mercy cleane gone for euer?
A09339And our Sauiour Christ when the Iewes said vnto him, Say we not true, that thou art a Samaritane and hast a deuill?
A09339And said, O Lord, be it farre from me that I should doe ● his: is not this the blood of the men, that went in ieopardie of their liues?
A09339And that which our Sauiour Christ saide once to Peter, men should daiely speake to themselues: O thou of littl ● faith, why hast thou doubted?
A09339And the Holy Ghost saith, that the seruants of God in the daies of Antiochus were racked and tormented, and would not bee deliuered: why so?
A09339And the complaint of the Lord touching times past, agrees to our daies: O Ephraim, What shall I say to thee?
A09339And the word of the Lord came to Elijah, saying, Seest thou how Ahab is humbled before me?
A09339And their implicite faith which saueth the lay man, what reprobate can not haue it?
A09339And therefore a most sharp reuenger of sinne?
A09339And they saide vnto him, Knowest thou not, that Baalis the king of the Ammonites, had sent Ishmac ● the sonne of Nethaniah, to slay thee?
A09339And 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?
A09339And those which make any conscience of this dutie, how they are laden with nicknames and taunts, who knoweth not?
A09339And to proceede: It is not here said, the resurrection of the soule, but of the bodie onely; what then( will some say) becommeth of the soule?
A09339And to whome is it a witnesse?
A09339And we must rather follow the example of Moses, who when Iosua desired him to forbid Eldad and Medad to prophecie, answered, Enuiest thou for my sake?
A09339And what are the workes for the doing of which we must be fashioned anew in Christ Iesus?
A09339And what can he merit, that is guiltie of the breach of the whole law?
A09339And what if inward righteousnes be perfect in the ende of this life, shall we therefore make it the matter of our iustification?
A09339And what is that loue else but predestination?
A09339And what was this dust and ashes made of?
A09339And when he was called to be a iudge to deuide the inheritance betweene two brethren, he refused to doe it, saying, Who made me a iudge betweene you?
A09339And where are they that striue to enter in?
A09339And why should we daily aske pardon for our sinnes, if nothing but incredulitie or vnbeleefe condemned vs?
A09339And will he shew no more fauour?
A09339And wilt not thou bewaile and lament thy sinnes, and thy wicked conuersation?
A09339And( as we are blamed, and as some affirme that we say) why do we not euill, that good may come thereof?
A09339And, How shall we call vpon him in whom we haue not beleeued?
A09339Are not two sparrowes sold for a farthing, and not one of them falleth on the ground without your Father?
A09339Are there diuers degrees and measures of true faith?
A09339Are these notes vnfallible?
A09339Are they not all ministring spirits, sent forth to minister for their sakes which shall be heires of saluation?
A09339Art thou prone to euill?
A09339As Paul saith, How can they beleeue in him, of whome they ha ● e not heard?
A09339As if he should say, haue ye forgotten the second commandement, that God gaue vnto your fathers?
A09339As they went they came to a water: then the Eunuch saide, See, here is water, what hindreth me to be baptized?
A09339Augustine saith, I demand of thee, O sinner, doest thou beleeue Christ or no?
A09339Augustine saith, The bodie of Christ is ascended into heauen: some may answer and say, How shall I hold him beeing absent?
A09339Be it that I knowe him to be my aduocate, may I not be deceiued?
A09339Before you goe any further, this word of life is inuisible, how then could it bee seene?
A09339Behold say the Angel to the she ● pheards, we bring tidings of great ioy that shall be to all people: but wherein standes the ioy?
A09339Beleeuest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me?
A09339But I pray you, what thinke you, wil not God condemne his owne elect children if they sinne?
A09339But I pray you: what mooued Moses to be of this minde?
A09339But against whome or with whome doth it giue testimonie?
A09339But aske him further: Doest thou beleeue the pardon of thine owne sinnes?
A09339But doe you desire with all your heart to feele it?
A09339But his seruants came, and spake vnto him, and said, Father, if the Prophet had commanded thee a great thing ● wouldest thou not haue done it?
A09339But how came this earthquake?
A09339But how can any sinne be great, that may be done away with such easie and sleight meanes?
A09339But how can he bee a Christian that feeles no grace nor goodnes in himselfe?
A09339But how could they doe it?
A09339But how depends this petition on the former?
A09339But how if it come to passe that you be tempted to any great sinne, and the flesh ouercome the spirit, in what case are you then?
A09339But how is that done?
A09339But how long shall they continue in this vile estate?
A09339But how maiest thou be made partaker of Christ and his benfits?
A09339But how may euery one of vs in particular know that Christ is his aduocate?
A09339But how shall I certenly know( say you) whether my faith be a true and liuely faith, or not?
A09339But how shall this triall be made?
A09339But how?
A09339But how?
A09339But howe and by what meanes can wee rise with Christ, seeing we did not die with him?
A09339But howe can this be?
A09339But howe prooues he this?
A09339But howe shall we doe this?
A09339But if faith faile either in the true knowledge, or in the apprehension of Gods mercies, how can a man be saued by it?
A09339But if this were so, why might wee not pray, Let my will be done?
A09339But in whose name pray they?
A09339But is not euery sinne a sinne to death?
A09339But it may be further demanded, howe the holy Ghost can be sent which is euery where?
A09339But it will peraduenture be saide, howe must wee proceede in admonishing of others?
A09339But shall we thinke that our owne Church is free from such men?
A09339But some may aske how any man can see him crucified now after his death?
A09339But some may say, how shall a man so prepare himselfe, that hee may bee fitte for that place?
A09339But some may say, how should this be done?
A09339But some may say, wherein standes our vnbeleefe?
A09339But some men may say, What?
A09339But some will say, how was Christ heard, seeing he suffered death and bare the pangs of hel, and the full wrath of God?
A09339But some will say, we are subiect to many crosses, yea to sinne: what?
A09339But the Astrologer saith, he foretelleth many things, which, as he said, come so to passe: be it so: But howe, I demaund?
A09339But the wicked men said, Howe shall he saue vs?
A09339But to omit this, what if we graunt this which D. Andreas requireth concerning Baptisme?
A09339But to proceede; how are the members of the visible Church qualified and discerned?
A09339But to whom shall we make it sure?
A09339But to whome will this blessed King communicate all these meanes of saluation?
A09339But vpon what cause did God so?
A09339But we for our parts must learne to say with Dauid, What shall I render vnto the Lord for all his benefits?
A09339But what hath bin the issue of it?

A09339Christ saith, Blessed are the peacemakers: but why are they blessed?
A09339Christian men are trees of righteousnesse growing by the waters of the sanctuarie: but what trees?
A09339Come, and see a man which hath told me all things that euer I did: Is not he the Christ?
A09339Concerning their conference, it is said, Iesus knowing all things that should come vnto him, went forth, and said vnto them, Whome seeke ye?
A09339Could the suffering of Christ, which was but for a short time, counteruaile euerlasting damnation, and so appease Gods wrath?
A09339Dare any of you, hauing busines against another, be iudged vnder the vniust, and not vnder the Saints?
A09339Darest thou presume to thinke of Gods mercie?
A09339Dauid often was in this case, as namely when he saith, k Will the Lord absent himself for euer?
A09339Declare how our loue should be a signe of Gods dwelling in vs?
A09339Declare vnto vs some of the principall of these commandements?
A09339Doe not I fill the heauen and earth, saith the Lord?

A09339Euery one of vs was borne in sinne,& by nature we are most wretched in our selues: now what an one is God?
A09339Father, what an horrible monster am I?
A09339Feare ye not me, saith the Lord?
A09339Feelest thou that thy rebellious flesh carrieth thee captiue vnto sinne?
A09339First as Saint Peter saith, it must mooue vs to eschewe euill and doe good: why?
A09339First, we beleeue that Iesus Christ who was to be the Sauiour of mankinde, must needs be God: what is the reason hereof?
A09339For conscience beares witnes; Of what?
A09339For example, he knoweth that there is a God, and that this God must be worshipped: come to particulars, who God is?
A09339For him whome God honoureth with the protection of his good angels, why should any mortall man despise?
A09339For how can a child call him father, whome he cares not continually to displease through his lewd conditions?
A09339For how can a man truly call God father, when he doubts whether he be the child of God, or no?
A09339For how can they call God their father, that haue no loue to their brethren?
A09339For how shall any glorifie God before he know him?

A09339For the first point, whether there shall be a iudgement or not?
A09339For the first we hold and teach, that Christs bodie and blood, are truely present with the bread and wine, beeing signes in the Sacrament: but how?

A09339For this cause Moses that faithful seruāt of God saith, that the people of Israel dealt wrongfully with the Lord: why?
A09339For thou wast made of God vnto me iustice: But should I feare, whether that one iustice would suffice two?
A09339For vnto which of the Angels said be at any time, Thou art my Sonne, this day begat I thee?
A09339For what can they say for themselues at the day of iudgement, when as now they haue freedome offered and will not accept of it?

A09339For who separateth thee?
A09339For why did not Abimelech commit adulterie?
A09339For why should not a spirit as well haue societie with a witch, as to eate meate?
A09339For why was he sanctified?
A09339For why, say I, doubtest thou of his good will towards thee, who in mercy hath sent me a minister to cal thee vnto him?
A09339For why?
A09339For, I pray you, is God of lesse truth, because his truth is neglected, and derided of them that contemne it?
A09339From the deuil?
A09339From what?
A09339From whence is this difference?
A09339Further if it be eternall, it must either be?
A09339Further, Christ being smitten, makes this answer: If I haue euill spoken, beare witnesse of the euill: but if I haue well spoken, why smitest thou me?
A09339Further, it may be demanded, in what forme this Creede was penned?
A09339Giue] If bread be ours, wherefore are we to aske it?
A09339God for his part would haue all men to be saued: why then are they not?
A09339God is iust and can not sinne: but if he lead men into temptation shal he not be the author of sinne?

A09339God is my light, and my saluation, whome should I feare?
A09339God is the strength of my life, of whom should I be afraid?
A09339Gods name must bee hallowed among men: but howe is it done?
A09339Good Master, what shall I doe, that I may possesse eternall life?
A09339Had he such care to prouide a kingdome for his children before they were?
A09339Had not these men so?
A09339Halfe my goods?
A09339Hast thou learning?
A09339Hath Christ giuen himselfe for thee, and is thy conscience setled in this?
A09339Hath God forgotten to be mercifull?
A09339Hath God forgotten to be mercifull?
A09339Hath god of his mercie giuen his own sonne to be my Sauiour, to shed his blood for me?
A09339Hath he shut vp his tender mercie in displeasure?

A09339Hath not the potter power ouer the clay, to make of the same lumpe one vessell to honour, and another to dishonour?
A09339Hath not the potter power to make of the same lumpe one vessell to honour, and another to dishonour?
A09339Haue then the starres no force in inferiour things?
A09339Haue they which keepe these commandements their praiers granted?
A09339Haue ye not read in the law, how that on the Sabbath daies, the Priests in the Temple breake the Sabbath, and are blamelesse?

A09339He said, Where haue ye laid him?
A09339He said, Why wilt thou goe to him this day?
A09339Hence it may be demanded whether Angels be of this Triumphant church or no?
A09339Here further it may bee demaunded, who may vse the sword?
A09339Here it may be asked, whether we may regard our dreames now, as Pilates wife did or no?
A09339Here it may be demaunded, whether Christ and his religion may not be maintained by the sword?

A09339Why so?
A09339Why so?
A09339Why so?
A09339Why then should men refuse any paines, or feare in the way?
A09339Why, how then shall God bee worshipped?
A09339Why, will some say, that is nothing, for the deuill and all the damned soules feele the power of the Almightie?
A09339Why?
A09339Why?
A09339Why?
A09339Will the Lord absent himselfe for euer?
A09339Wilt thou breake a leafe driuen to and fro, and wilt thou pursue the drie stubble?
A09339With how great malice of mind inwardly did I sley and murther?
A09339With what diligence deceiued I?
A09339With what pleasure and delectation like a glutton serued I my bellie?
A09339With what violence and rage, yea with what feruēt lust committed I adulterie, fornication, and such like vncleannes?
A09339Would not be so dealt with?
A09339Would we nowe escape the second death after this life?
A09339Would you haue the valor of knighthood?
A09339Would you inioy Gods blessings which you wāt?
A09339Would you men did so with you?
A09339Wouldest thou then escape the iudgement of Christ at the last day?
A09339Wouldest thou then liue eternally?
A09339Wretch that I am, how haue I forgotten my selfe, and thee also my God?
A09339You haue shewed how Christ doth make satisfaction, tell mee likewise howe he doth make intercession?
A09339You haue shewed vs fully, that loue is a worke of adoption: Now shew vs how we may know whether we loue our brethren or not?
A09339a Doest thou beleeue that thou canst not be saued but by the death of Christ?
A09339and by thy hypocrisie offend God?
A09339and by what meanes?
A09339and by what?
A09339and can hee that bringeth forth no fruite of his conuersion liue vnto God?
A09339and doe you cherish them?
A09339and hardened our hearts from thy feare?
A09339and hath he of his mercie graunted vnto me the pardon of all my sinnes?
A09339and how can they heare without a preacher?
A09339and how doe these cup- companions spend their time?
A09339and how shall they beleeue in him, of whome they haue not heard?
A09339and is not truth banished out of our coasts; considering that for gaines and outward commodities men make no bones of glosing and dissembling?
A09339and may he not therefore giue thee a lawe, to keep, and punish thee with hell fire, if thou breake it?
A09339and shall not God be more carefull then man?
A09339and w ● y art thou so di ● quieted in me?
A09339and what aile you?
A09339and whereby he hath gotten the victorie?
A09339and whome hast thou here?
A09339and why art thou disquieted in me?
A09339and why, but because it pleased him?
A09339and will he shew no more fauour?
A09339and will he shewe no more fauour?
A09339and will he shewe no more fauour?
A09339and wilt thou neglect the Ministers, and the preaching of the word?
A09339and with whome hast thou left those few sheepe in the wildernesse?
A09339and, Who shal seuer vs from the loue of Christ?
A09339at this very speech he is conuerted, and saide, Who art thou, Lord: what wilt thou that I doe?
A09339behold the heauens, and the heauens of heauens are not able to containe thee: how much lesse is this: house that I haue built?
A09339but why pleased it him?
A09339c Bernard saith, What, is not desire a voice?
A09339c God promiseth thee immortalitie, when thou goest out of this world, and doest thou doubt?
A09339can our sinnes turne to our good?
A09339cast off all meanes?
A09339doest not thou iudge and auenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
A09339doest thou not iudge and aueuge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
A09339doth his promise faile for euermore?
A09339doth his promise faile for euermore?
A09339either were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
A09339for hee curseth, euen because the Lord hath bidden him curse Dauid, who dare then say, Wherefore hast thou done so?
A09339for we must all appeare before the iudgement seat of Christ: but some will aske, howe doth one iudge another?
A09339from God?
A09339from men?
A09339from the liuing to the dead?
A09339hath God forgotten to be mercifull?
A09339hath God forgotten to be mercifull?
A09339hath he set open as it were the ve ● ie gates of hell, and shall we yet lie weltring in our damnable waies and in the shadowe of death?
A09339hath it not bin told you from the beginning?
A09339hath not Dauid rather sent his seruants vnto thee, to search the citie, to spie it out, and to ouerthrow it?
A09339haue you not heard?
A09339his words are these: Who knowes if he be worthie loue or hatred?
A09339how could god wipe away your teares from your eies in heauen, if on earth you shead them not?
A09339how did he imploy himselfe?
A09339how great is my selfe loue?
A09339how hard is my heart?
A09339how he must be worshipped?
A09339how little is my loue to thee or thy people?
A09339how shall I reach vp mine hand to heauen that I may lay hold of him sitting there?
A09339howe may I knowe that this my knowledge is effectuall to saluation?
A09339if I be a father, where is my honour?
A09339if I be a lord, where is my feare?
A09339if thou hast receiued it, why reioycest thou, as though thou hadst not receiued it?
A09339is his mercie cleane gone for euer?
A09339is not God all in all vnto vs euen in this life?
A09339is there vnrighteousnesse with God?
A09339it is God that iustifieth, who shall condemne?
A09339it is God that iustifieth, who shall condemne?
A09339may not for all that, any that is so tempted, by Satans pollicie, refell this great comforter, by his owne argument?
A09339may not the aspects of such as thou yet knowest not, hinder that, and produce the contrarie?
A09339may we not prouide for the time to come?
A09339mine owne iustice?
A09339must we be as perfect as they?
A09339nay how can hee suffer it?
A09339of their children, or of strangers?
A09339of whō doe the kings of the earth take tribute, or poll money?
A09339or doe you take any pleasure in them?
A09339or from the deuill?
A09339or vvhat agreement hath the temple of God with idols?
A09339or vvhat part hath the beleeuer vvith the infidel?
A09339or what hast thou, that thou hast not receiued?
A09339or what similitude wil ye set vp of him?
A09339saith the Lord to Eliah, seest thou how Ahab is hūbled before me?
A09339shall God accept the worke of one man for another, and not accept the righteousnesse of Christ for vs?
A09339shall Pharao confesse his sinne, nay shall Satan beleeue and tremble?
A09339shall one man satisfie for another, and shall not Christ by his righteousnes satisfie for vs?
A09339shall we say that workes doe make vs iust?
A09339so sore with paine opprest: With thoughts why dost thy selfe assaile?
A09339straight hee goes out to the wise man: is this to beleeue in God?
A09339t And Dauid saith, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A09339the King said, What haue I to doe with you, ye sonnes of Zeruiah?
A09339the bread which we breake, is it not the communion of the bodie of Christ?
A09339these terrours of the minde?
A09339this dulnesse and frowardnes of thy heart?
A09339this weaknesse and sicknesse of thy bodie?
A09339to men or angels?
A09339truely he stood in awe of God, and therefore said, What haue I to doe with you, ye sonnes of Zeruiah?
A09339v. 24. he crieth out, O wretched man that I am, who shall deliuer me from this bodie of death?
A09339was Paul crucified for you?
A09339was Paul crucified for you?
A09339was it not lawfull for them to doe so?
A09339was it not to giue gifts vnto his Church?
A09339were they illuminated by the light of the spirit?
A09339what a gybbet will it be to the heart of him that wants grace?
A09339what a one he is?
A09339what are all these( I say) and many other euills, but the beginnings and certaine flashings of the fire of hell?
A09339what needes any lawes, Princes, Magistrates, or gouernment?
A09339what needes walking in mens ordinarie callings?
A09339what needs the preaching of the word, and receiuing of the Sacraments?
A09339what was he idle?
A09339what, is Christs hand now shortned?
A09339where he brings in the people, saying: who shall shew vs any good?
A09339where is the violence offered to the kingdome of heauen?
A09339who can bewaile the losse of his friendshippe?
A09339who can desire to come againe into his fauour, but he, whom God still loueth although for a time he be angrie with him?
A09339who forsaketh this world,& seekes vnto Christ for it?
A09339who knowes the mind of the Lord?
A09339who shall dwell[ as Pilgrimes dwell in tents] in thy tabernacle,] the Church militant?]
A09339who shall rest in thy holy Mountaine,[ the kingdome of heauen?]
A09339why rather sustaine ye not harme?
A09339wilt thou call this a fasting, or an acceptable day vnto the Lord?
A09339wilt thou not reuenge our blood?
A09339would you speake the languages?
A71177( quoties te in speculo videris alterum) Quae mens est hodie, cur eadem non puero fuit?
A71177* And if in other cases laws be never given to Ideots and Infants and persons uncapable, why should they be given here?
A71177* And indeed what is the saying of our blessed Saviour himself?
A71177* But does not this intimate it was only by positive constitution, and neither by Divine nor Apostolical ordinance?
A71177* But suppose it were, what will they say that are perpetual Dictators?
A71177* But which was first, of a private congregation or a Diocess?
A71177* Quid igitur credulitas vel sides?
A71177* Quomodo erit Solsplendore privatus?
A71177* So that whence will men take their estimate for the rites of ordinations?
A71177* Vbi illa Augustini& reliquorum prudentia?
A71177* Where is boasting then?
A71177356. l. 52. r. is it reasonable —?
A711775. ubi ● e invenit?
A711777. Who can be suppos''d to have put in this story?
A71177AND after this, I would fain know, what benefit and advantages the Church of England in her united capacity receives by this new device?
A71177AND here I consider that the true state of the Question is only this, Whether it is better to pray to God with Consideration, or without?
A71177Add to this, how can Species, that is, accidents be broken, but when a substance is broken?
A71177Add to this, how can a bad quality, morally bad, be directly and regularly transmitted by an action morally good?
A71177All these, I say, clearly make not distinct orders, and why are not all of them of the same consideration?
A71177An dubitat solitus totum con ● ● are Tonantem, Radet inaurati femur Herculis,& faciem ipsam Neptuni, qui bracteolam de Castore ducet?
A71177An istam quam propter nos suscepit servi formae schemate circumamictus?
A71177An non licebat ipsi[ Petro] eligere?
A71177And Qui baptizatur à mortuo, quid proficit lavatio ejus?
A71177And a little after he expostulates the Article, Non licebit Deo in suo Organo per manus sanctas sublimitatem modulari spiritalem?
A71177And a little after, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉,& c. What is the Bishop, but he that hath all authority and rule?
A71177And after this, what can be supposed wanting in order to Salvation?
A71177And again, How much more operative is the word of Christ that the things be what they were, and yet be changed into another?
A71177And again, Quid enim aliud est Episcopus quàm is qui omni Principatu,& potestate superior est?
A71177And again, Thou sayest what shall I do?
A71177And again, vestrae plebi unde Spiritus, quam non consignat unctus Sacerdos?
A71177And because they neither did nor could do that, may it therefore be concluded, that they made no Images of their Gods?
A71177And dare any man tax that proceeding of remissness, and indifferency in Religion?
A71177And do Saints, do Canoniz''d persons use to go to Purgatory?
A71177And from hence hath risen a Question, Whether is to be received, the former or the later Councils, in case they contradict each other?
A71177And here we shall be oppressed with a cloud of Witnesses: For what more plain then the Commission given to Peter?
A71177And how can it be, that the father who contributes nothing to her production, should contribute to her pollution?
A71177And how was that?
A71177And if God will not be angry at men for being invincibly deceived, why should men be angry one at another?
A71177And if Patterns, the nearer we draw to our example, are not the imitations and representments the better?
A71177And if his Parents sinn''d, how could he bear their sin?
A71177And if she have, whether she have not as much as any single person?
A71177And if so, whether also it must be in publick Prayer, and will it not suffice that it be in private?
A71177And if this were not his onely way, why do men dispute and urge Arguments?
A71177And if thou say in thine heart, Wherefore came these things upon me?
A71177And in the 29 Homily upon the same Epistle, he argues thus: What therefore, tell me, are all dead in Adam by the death of sin?
A71177And in the close of his discourse, Sic certè à Domino ad B. Petrum dicitur, Petre amas me?
A71177And indeed who can do a sin every day, and think it great and highly damnable?
A71177And is it unjust to condemn one man to Hell for all the sin of a thousand of his Ancestors actually done by them?
A71177And it is remarkable what Bellarmine answers to the Question, with what kind of worship images may be ador''d?
A71177And must we do so too?
A71177And now after all this, what authority is equal to this Legislative of the Bishops?
A71177And now what help is there for us in the midst of these uncertainties?
A71177And now why do you reprove that in us which you do in your selves?
A71177And put case all four had past through the fire, and died in the flames, what would that have proved?
A71177And shall it be accounted just to damn all the world for one sin of one man?
A71177And the case is clear in the Bishop''s Question to Cyprian: for why shall not Infants be baptized just upon the eighth days as well as circumcised?
A71177And then it would be considered whether we are fallen?
A71177And then the question will not be, whether our senses can be deceived or no?
A71177And then where is his Providence and Government?
A71177And therefore he was no Bishop?
A71177And therefore to the Question, What shall be done if a Bishop may not be had?
A71177And therefore when we are charged with sin, it is worthy of inquiry, whence it is that we are sinners?
A71177And to the same sence those words of our Blessed Saviour to the Pharisees asking who sinn''d, this man or his Parents?
A71177And upon this account Abraham was confident with God; Wilt thou slay the righteous with the wicked?
A71177And were not his words sufficiently expressive of his sence?
A71177And what are those things?
A71177And what are we the nearer for a Decree, if any Sophister shall think his elusion enough to contest against the Authority of a Council?
A71177And what benefit comes to them by Baptism?
A71177And what can more plainly give his sence and meaning in this Article?
A71177And what remedy was there for that?
A71177And what say you to me?
A71177And what then if we took the Samplers themselves?
A71177And what then in those thousands that are intricate?
A71177And what then?
A71177And what will it profit him if a Father gives a great Estate to his Son, if he does not take care to provide a Tutor for him?
A71177And what''s that?
A71177And who can ascertain us that she hath not entertained some which are no Traditions, as well as lost thousands that are?
A71177And who would not deride this way of arguing?
A71177And why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
A71177And why can not God as well doe his mercies to Infants now immediately, as he did before the institution either of Circumcision or Baptism?
A71177And why can they not be suffered to enjoy their share of peace, which hath returned in the hands of His Sacred Majesty at his blessed Restauration?
A71177And why should not a righteous man as easily and as quickly fall from grace, and lose his habits, as Adam did?
A71177And yet there is some more modesty, or wariness, or necessity( what shall I call it?)
A71177Are not the grounds equal from an indeleble character in one as in the other?
A71177Are there any acts precedent, concomitant or consequent to this pretended habit?
A71177Are they by this habit so much as disposed to an actual belief without a new Master?
A71177Are we not made all one with Christ, and he with us?
A71177As if he had said, I speak to You, for to whom else should I speak and give caution for the looking to the house in the Masters absence?
A71177As well this as the other; for if Deaconship do not exclude Episcopacy, why shall his being an Evangelist exclude it?
A71177At this rate all men should have passed through the fire: for who can escape when S. Cyprian and S. Austin can not?
A71177Athenagoras in a high defiance of the infamy asks, Do you think we are murtherers?
A71177Aut quam imaginem ponetis ei, qui spiritus est,& in omnibus est,& ubique discurrit,& terram quasi pugillo continet?
A71177BUT abstracting from the reason, let us consider who keeps the precept best, He that deliberates, or he that considers not when he speaks?
A71177BUT ask again, what benefit can the publick receive by this form, or this no form?
A71177BUT is it not also heresie?
A71177BUT then did not this imployment, when the occasions were great and extraordinary, force the Bishops to a temporary absence?
A71177BUT why may not all this be done in an instant by the grace of God?
A71177BUT yet if such compliance with fancies and affections were necessary, what are we the nearer if every Minister were permitted to pray his own forms?
A71177BVT what am I, O God, sinful dust and ashes, a miserable and undone man, that I should plead with the great Judge of all the World?
A71177Besides this,( I say) If Christs body be not invested with these accidents, how do they represent it, or to what purpose do they remain?
A71177But 2. why did our blessed Lord so severely threaten those that should teach others to break any of these severe Commandments by false interpretation?
A71177But I demand, are the words more contradictory if they be both drawn to a spiritual sence, than if they be both drawn to a natural?
A71177But I demand, have not the children of believing parents a title to the Promises of the Gospel?
A71177But I would fain know, why is not any vitious habit as bad or worse then a false Opinion?
A71177But after all this, was not Saint Monica a Saint?
A71177But again can an accidental form kill a man?
A71177But because all sin is a blot to a mans soul, and a foul stain to his reputation; we demand, In what does this stain consist?
A71177But by whom?
A71177But does it follow that therefore he does not say so at all of these, because he says it of the others too?
A71177But first, where is there such a distinction set down in Scripture, or in the prime Antiquity, or in any moral Philosopher?
A71177But for what end, to what purpose do they detain the water, when they can not keep back the Spirit?
A71177But for what use?
A71177But hath not God promised pardon to him that is contrite?
A71177But here what shall we have to determine it?
A71177But how can any thing be divided from it self wholly?
A71177But how can it be that the faults of good men should be covered, when all things are naked to the eyes of God?
A71177But how can this expound the other words?
A71177But how did they when all that was gone?
A71177But how happens it then that even the regenerate sins often, and the flesh prevails upon the ruine, or the declensions of the Spirit?
A71177But how if a Bishop be not to be had, or not ready?
A71177But how if he does not?
A71177But how if he escapes, was he obliged for all that?
A71177But how if the Bishop himself be a heretick, or schismatick?
A71177But how if they come on him by Divine imposition, or accident?
A71177But how know you that God will not forgive him?
A71177But how shall any man know whether he have perform''d his repentance as he ought?
A71177But how then did they to baptize their Children?
A71177But how then shall he keep ordinations when he hath never a Presbyter to assist him?
A71177But how then when not only particular Churches but single persons are all the proof we have for a Tradition?
A71177But if God took off all that was due, how could God exact it of others, it being wholly pardon''d?
A71177But if Original sin be not a sin properly, why are children baptized?
A71177But if a man sin against the Lord who shall intreat for him?
A71177But if contrition be taken in a sence comprehending more than it self, then I demand how much shall it involve?
A71177But if he be ask''d, whether or no Christ appointed it to be done as he did, to be given as he gave it?
A71177But if he be not sure that sin reigns, then can he not hope that the Spirit does rule?
A71177But if in this sight he b ● overcome, he is not to ask, Whether that ill day, and that deadly blow, can consist with the state of life?
A71177But if it be asked why the Bishop of Rome calls himself Universal Bishop?
A71177But if it be asked, what if this grace had not come?
A71177But if it be not true, what means Saint Paul, by saying, The spirits of the Prophets must be subject to the Prophets?
A71177But if she was not of that opinion then, and Irenaeus was, where was his belief of that Churche''s Infallibility?
A71177But if so, then why may not the King as well make Clergy- Judges, as Lay- Delegates?
A71177But if the Church before their time had expounded it against their sence, and they not submit to it, how do you reckon them Catholicks, and not me?
A71177But if the natural body be eaten naturally, then what hinders it from affections and transmutations natural?
A71177But if they had no more power after Titus than they had under him, how then could they succeed him?
A71177But if this was sufficient to bring men to heaven then, why not now?
A71177But if to repent every day be not too much, who can be sure that if he puts it off one day it shall be sufficient?
A71177But if we should allow the Topick to be good, yet how will it be verified?
A71177But if you still ask where it was before Luther?
A71177But if you yet enquire further, whether Fancy may be an ingredient in your choice?
A71177But is he not displeas''d if we do not?
A71177But is there no mercy to be shewed to them unless they be in Purgatory?
A71177But must we have Lord Bishops too?
A71177But now that all the world hath been Christians, if we should sin in keeping company with vitious Christians, must we not also go out of this world?
A71177But now the Question is not, whether it be the better way, but whether it be necessary, and will not the lesser way suffice?
A71177But of what can they now be hindered?
A71177But secondly, This Objection can press nothing at all; for why was Christ baptized, who knew no sin?
A71177But shall we then condemn those few of the Reformed Churches, whose ordinations always have been without Bishops?
A71177But suppose a while Titus had been an Evangelist, I would fain know who succeeded him?
A71177But suppose it did mean so, what would be effected or perswaded by it more then by the other?
A71177But that another should be made a sinner by his disobedience, what agreement or consequent I beseech you can it have?
A71177But then are all ordinations invalid which are done by meer Presbyters without a Bishop?
A71177But then if it be asked what makes them unworthy, if it be not the want of Original righteousness?
A71177But then if we ask what conversion it is?
A71177But then they may with license?
A71177But then what equity is it that any innocents or little children should?
A71177But then why are they called Acephali?
A71177But then, if it be enquired what evil we thence received?
A71177But then, if this should be as impossible as ever, why is it a- new imposed?
A71177But there were none such in the Primitive Church?
A71177But though it be but of five foot long, yet it may be placed twice or thrice in a space of five foot long, and what then?
A71177But upon this account who can be justified?
A71177But was this all the inconvenience of the want of Bishops?
A71177But what is to be done?
A71177But what need I any more instances?
A71177But what need such Suffragans, such coadjutors to the managing of a Parish?
A71177But what of Scotus?
A71177But what shall the despiser of God do?
A71177But what then might they have done?
A71177But what then?
A71177But what?
A71177But whether is the Popes confirmation after the Decree or before?
A71177But who sees not the extreme folly of this evasion?
A71177But who then must elect them?
A71177But who told them so?
A71177But why does my soul run thither, with all its loads of sin and shame upon it?
A71177But why not Brethren, that is, all the Deacons, and Evangelists, and Helpers in Government, and Ministers of the Churches?
A71177But why should this be abstracted from all the whole Oeconomy of God, from all his other dispensations?
A71177But why so?
A71177But why then do I bid them hope, if their case be desperate?
A71177But why therefore Lay- Elders?
A71177But why thus far and no farther?
A71177But why upon this reprehension, if not for fear of being punished?
A71177But why were they called Acephali?
A71177But will not necessity excuse them who could not have orders from Orthodox Bishops?
A71177But you will say, how came Cochlaeus by them?
A71177But, how did they for the holy Sacrament, for that could not be consecrated without a Priest, and he not ordained without a Bishop?
A71177By Baptism, before or after?
A71177By what Law?
A71177CAN the Ethiopian change his skin, or the Leopard his spots?
A71177Calvin was perpetual President, and Beza, till Danaeus came to Geneva, even for many years together?
A71177Can God be in two places that can not be in one?
A71177Can an Infant sent into a Mahumetan province be more confident for Christianity when he comes to be a man, then if he had not been baptized?
A71177Can any good thing come out of Galilee?
A71177Can he be determin''d and number''d by places, that sills all places by his presence?
A71177Can not God in any sence make this proposition true; This bread is the body of Christ, or this is bread and Christs body too?
A71177Can not he infuse into us the habits of all the g ● aces Evangelical?
A71177Can there possibly be two Categorematical, that is, positive substantial infinites?
A71177Can therefore the Church use this form of absolution?
A71177Can they in that Sacrament eat the flesh of Christ and drink his bloud?
A71177Castis cum pueris ignara puella mariti Disceret unde preces, vatem ni Musa dedisset?
A71177Cathedra tibi quid fecit Ecclesiae, in quâ Petrus sedit,& in quâ hodiè Anastasius sedet?
A71177Could we prevent the sin of Adam?
A71177Could we, if we had been ask''d after we were born a month, have given our negative?
A71177Could you desire to be thought good, and yet have delighted in such cruelty?
A71177Could you have been delighted in their horrid shrieks and out- cries, or have taken pleasure in their unavoidable and their intolerable calamity?
A71177Cur meam senectam hujus sollicito amentiâ Pro hujus ego ut peccatis supplicium sufferam?
A71177Dare any man with his gift of Prayer pretend, that he can ex tempore, or by study, make better?
A71177Deinde qui Vnum habuerit, numquid debet illi ipse unus Presbyter auferri?
A71177Deinde qui unum[ Presbyterum] habuerit, numquid debet illi ipse unus Presbyter auferri?
A71177Did all the Orthodox from Abel to that day go to Purgatory?
A71177Did no man admonish you?
A71177Did none foretel the event?
A71177Did not God know that we could not in that case dissent?
A71177Did not the Ancient Church do otherwise than these men do?
A71177Did that desire lead him captive to fornication?
A71177Did the Apostles threaten nothing?
A71177Did the Gospels say nothing?
A71177Did the Priest intreat nothing of you?
A71177Did the Primitive Councils, and Fathers do well in condemning the ordinations made by meer Presbyters?
A71177Do I say he shall be damned?
A71177Do I say he shall be pardon''d?
A71177Do not we receive his Body and his Blood?
A71177Do not you adore that which Rats and Mice eat, which can grow mouldy, and sowre, which you keep under locks and bars, for fear your God be stoln?
A71177Do they do what Christ did?
A71177Do they teach what Christ taught?
A71177Does he attend his motions?
A71177Does he live by the laws of the Spirit?
A71177Does he love his Brother?
A71177Does he obey his commands?
A71177Does he therefore think well?
A71177Does it not appoint every thing but the words?
A71177Does it therefore follow that the Holy Ghost is not given in Confirmation?
A71177Does not every call, and every expectation, and every message, when it is rejected, provoke Gods anger and exasperate him?
A71177Does not he in the day of vengeance smite more sorely, by how much with the more patience he hath waited?
A71177Does the Priest absolve him whom God condemns?
A71177Dost thou who art rich and opulent suppose that you celebrate the Lords Supper,( or sacrifice) who regardest not the poor mans basket?
A71177Doth not their excellency which is in them go away?
A71177EIGHTHLY, And now after all this strife, what harm is there in restraining the spirit in the present sence?
A71177Et iterum: Miser ego homo, quis me liberabit de corpore mortis hujus?
A71177Et quid negotii esset Episcopo ut Presbyterum non objurgaret, si super Presbyterum non haberet potestatem?
A71177Exigis ubi scriptum est?
A71177FOR, Why are not the Ministers to be left as well to their liberty in making their Prayers as their Sermons?
A71177FOURTHLY, Does not the Directory that thing which is here called restraining of the Spirit?
A71177For 1. who should add this story to this Epistle?
A71177For I demand: Can any man say and justifie that the Apostles did deny Communion to any man that believed the Apostles Creed, and lived a good life?
A71177For being a fool, and useless?
A71177For did they that lived( to instance) in Saint Austin''s time be ● ieve all that he wrote?
A71177For hast thou remained without sin?
A71177For how can a man be sorrowful for not being sorrowful?
A71177For how can the breaking of Species or accidents infer the breaking of Christs body, unless the accidents be Christs body, or inseparable from it?
A71177For how can the lapsed man do penance?
A71177For how could it be Christs flesh Sacramentally, if he had no flesh really?
A71177For how shall any man reckon two?
A71177For how will it appear that these promises and Commissions did relate to him as a particular Bishop, and not as a publick Apostle?
A71177For if Concupiscence be a sin, and yet remains after Baptism, then what good does Baptism effect?
A71177For if God hath other ways of bringing them to Heaven who yet can not believe, if they can go to Heaven without Faith, why not to the Font?
A71177For if a Bishop can have but one Parish, why may not every Parish have a Bishop?
A71177For if it be such a work that can not possibly be done on a death- bed, how then can dying persons be called upon to repent?
A71177For if these men are resolved they will call nothing an order but what is a power in order to the consecration of the Eucharist, who can help it?
A71177For if they could not deserve to perish without a fault of their own, how could they deserve to have such a fault put upon them?
A71177For is an Opinion ever the more true or false for being persecuted?
A71177For is it a sin if it continues, and no sin if it lasts but for a week?
A71177For is it a sin in Episcopacy to do so, and not in the Presbytery?
A71177For is not Christ given us in the Sacrament of the Lord''s Supper?
A71177For it is granted on all sides: but whether this conversion be Sacramental and figurative?
A71177For let them say; is it not an attribute of God to be unlimited and to be undefined by places?
A71177For now thou numbrest my steps: Dost thou not watch over my sin?
A71177For that I may use the words of Faventinus; What is the formal term of this action of Transubstantiation, or conversion?
A71177For the case is this: If you ask when every man is bound to repent?
A71177For the question here that is only of concernment, is not to what end this power is reserved to the Bishop, but by whom it was reserved?
A71177For though I can say, If this thing be done in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
A71177For to every such curious person, this only is to be said, Do you believe the promises?
A71177For to the Jews enquiring, What shall we do to work the works of God?
A71177For to the Question, Quaenam tandem est poenitentia perfecta?
A71177For to what purpose is it that you are cur''d of prodigality, and then die by covetousness?
A71177For what can the dying man fear but death eternal?
A71177For what else should I chuse?
A71177For what is the Divine authority that he mentions?
A71177For what is thy sin to Gods mercy?
A71177For what power had they of Jurisdiction?
A71177For what profit is it to speak with a tongue, when he that hears is not profited?
A71177For what sence can there be in the first licet else?
A71177For what worthiness can there be in any man to receive the first grace?
A71177For where will they reckon the beginning of Predestination?
A71177For whether( to instance in this place) shall Presbyter limit Episcopus, or Episcopus extend Presbyter?
A71177For why do you baptize them?
A71177For why should not Divines doe in the Question of reconfirmation as in that of rebaptization?
A71177For why should they obey?
A71177For why should we be in love with that evil, against which they so carefully arm''d their Churches, by the provision and defence of Laws?
A71177From Antiquity?
A71177From Scripture?
A71177From hence arises this great noise; and the fountain being confessedly corrupt, what wholsome thing can be expected thence?
A71177From whence then?
A71177God can do all things, but, are they undone when they are done?
A71177God can new create the body, and change it into a Spirit; But can a body, remaining a body, be at the same time a Spirit?
A71177God is the supreme Judge, and though we may minister to his judgment, yet we can not contradict it; or can the Priest condemn him whom God absolves?
A71177HERE therefore we will joyn issue, whether the gifts and helps of the Spirit be immediate infusions of the faculties and powers and perfect abilities?
A71177Had Christ authority?
A71177Had he been a Heretick or no Heretick, the more or less, for the confidence of these zealous Ideots?
A71177Had not this been a certain, clear, and proportionable comfort to their complaint, and present necessity, if any such thing were intended?
A71177Had the children of Israel leave to picture God in the form of a man walking in Paradise?
A71177Hath he no earnest desires to serve God?
A71177He hath an Empire; but hath he also a Bishoprick?
A71177He is near that justifieth me, who will contend with me?
A71177He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall not he with him also freely give us all things?
A71177He that too strictly inquires of an action whether it be necessary or no, would do well to ask also whether it be good?
A71177He was answered, What wouldest thou do if thou wert sure?
A71177Hence is that saying of Hugo de S. Victore; What does it profit that thou art raised up by Baptism, if thou art not able to stand by Confirmation?
A71177Here therefore it is to be inquired, Whether the Commandments of Jesus Christ be as impossible to be kept as the Law of Moses?
A71177Higher yet are the words of Paulinus Bishop of Nola, to Faustus of Rhegium, inquiring what is to be done to death- bed penitents?
A71177His words are these,[ If it be inquir''d what kind of conversion it is, whether it be formal or substantial, or of another kind?
A71177Hostis Herodes impie Christum venire quid times?
A71177How and if these Presbyters, which came from Ephesus and the other parts of Asia, were made Bishops at Miletus?
A71177How can Men be distinguished from Beasts: or the Vertuous from the vicious?
A71177How can he know that two glasses of wine are not one?
A71177How can he repent, who can not do works of satisfaction or amendment of life?
A71177How can his form comply with the great variety of affections which are amongst his Auditors, any more than the publick forms described by Authority?
A71177How can that be?
A71177How can ye believe, who receive honour one of another?
A71177How conducted?
A71177How did he come to bless us in turning every one of us from our iniquity?
A71177How do you prove it since there are so many impossibilities in it naturally and ordinarily?
A71177How if the Bishop have but one Priest, must his Bishop part with him to supply the necessity of the Neighbour widow Church?
A71177How is it that all men in the world are sinners, and that in many things we offend all?
A71177How much less on them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?
A71177How much more abominable and filthy is man which drinketh iniquity like water?
A71177How shall I know?
A71177How shall the Angel know what sheep belong unto his charge?
A71177How shall the decision be in a Council, if the Bishops be divided in their opinions?
A71177How shall the dying man do it?
A71177How shall we call them Martyrs, if we deny their faith, how shall we celebrate their victory, if we dislike their cause?
A71177How then was Noah a just man in his generation?
A71177How was Abraham and Job?
A71177How will their Superiority be reconciled to the place, though it be but temporary?
A71177How?
A71177I am the Lord God that brought thee out of the land of Egypt: and does Job serve God for nought?
A71177I answer, That such a man should do well to ask his Physician whether it be possible for him to escape that sickness?
A71177I demand to what[ 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, Hic, This] does refer?
A71177I end this with the saying of S. Hierome, Exigis ubi scriptum sit?
A71177I grant it, but what then?
A71177I have seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredoms, and thine abominations, Wo unto thee, wilt thou not be made clean?
A71177I mean as to this particular, as to their Efficient cause?
A71177I suppose this, but does he mean so by Substantia too?
A71177If God can, then how will they be able from the words of Scripture to prove Transubstantiation?
A71177If God decrees us to be born sinners; Then he makes us to be sinners, and then where is his goodness?
A71177If God did promise pardon to such, then why did not the Church give security, as well as penance?
A71177If God does cast Infants into Hell for the sin of others, and yet did not condemn Devils, but for their own sin; where is his love to mankind?
A71177If God does damn any for that, he damns us for what we could not help, and for what himself did, and then where is his Justice?
A71177If God for the sin of Adam brings upon us a necessity of sinning; where is our liberty?
A71177If God hath given us a Nature by derivation, which is wholly corrupted, then how can it be that all which God made is good?
A71177If God sentence us to that Damnation, which he can not in justice inflict, where is his Wisdom?
A71177If Infants are not under the guilt of original sin, why are they baptized?
A71177If Peter after so great a fall did arrive to such an eminence of sanctity, hereafter who shall despair, provided that he will depart from his sins?
A71177If by the external work of the Sacrament alone, how does this differ from the opus operatum of the Papists, save that it is worse?
A71177If he had answered thus, how had Theodoret confuted the Eutychians?
A71177If he hath not, why should he be sorrowful for not doing an unreasonable act?
A71177If he hath said nothing of it, why are not they to be comprehended within the general rules of all returning penitents?
A71177If he hath said they can not be saved, why then do I bid them hope, and so abuse them with a false perswasion?
A71177If he will not chastise his wanton thoughts to please God, how shall he throw out his whole body of lust?
A71177If imperfect, how comes it to pass that the 〈 ◊ 〉 of God, especially Man, should be imperfect?
A71177If in Baptism he is quitted, then he that dies before Baptism, is still under the Sentence, and what shall become of him?
A71177If it be a Ceremony onely, how does it sanctifie us, or make the comers thereunto perfect?
A71177If it be answered, that God will pardon him some way or other, at some time or other, I reply, yea, but who said so?
A71177If it be asked how can we have the punishment unless we also have the fault?
A71177If it be asked who then are meant by Elders, if by[ Brethren] S. Luke understands these Church- officers?
A71177If it be demanded why also he pretends to a power of authorizing his subjects to kill him?
A71177If it be unjust to damn them without cause, is it not also unjust to make a cause for them whether they will or no?
A71177If it does not deserve damnation, why do they say it does?
A71177If it implies a Duty on our part, how then can children receive it, who can not doe duty at all?
A71177If it produces not any, why is such contention about it?
A71177If men repent not, God will be severely angry; it will be infinitely the worse for us if we do not, and shall it be so too if we do repent?
A71177If no man shall ever be damned for the sin of Adam alone, then I demand whether are they born quit from the guilt?
A71177If not, then still who succeeded him?
A71177If perfect, how came he to break the commandments?
A71177If so many acts of sin taken singly and alone do damn, how can any man be saved?
A71177If so, suppose yet further, that by the Divine judgment he should fall mad; Is the mad man capable of a new law?
A71177If so, then who shall reject Hereticks when Titus is dead?
A71177If the Apostles admitted all to their Communion that believed this Creed, why shall we exclude any that preserve the same intire?
A71177If the Apostles did not represent the whole Church, why then do all communicate?
A71177If the Bishop have but one Presbyter, must one be taken from him?
A71177If the Bishops had the Parishes, what cure had the Priests?
A71177If the Law was an impossible Commandment, who can say he hath strictly and punctually perform''d the injunctions of the Gospel?
A71177If the will therefore can not operate, how is it immortal?
A71177If these after Baptism are pardonable, Quid non speremus?
A71177If these things be in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?
A71177If they be not born free, when are they quitted?
A71177If they can pray with the Spirit, why do they not also preach with the Spirit?
A71177If they did ill, from what principle shall we judge of the right of ordinations?
A71177If they had, why did Saint Paul take it from them to invest Titus with it?
A71177If they were not free, how could we be guilty?
A71177If this corruption had been natural and unavoidable, why did God punish all the world for it, except eight persons?
A71177If this were not true, how shall the Church be governed?
A71177If thou, Lord, wilt be extreme to mark what is done amiss, O Lord who may abide it?
A71177If we believe them to be crown''d, why shall we deny but that they strove lawfully?
A71177If we follow any one Translation, or any one mans Commentary, what rule shall we have to chuse the right by?
A71177If we had none at all, how could it be involv''d in his?
A71177If we labour not under the guilt of original sin, why in our infancy are we baptized?
A71177If we manducate only the accidents,* then how do we eat Christs body?
A71177If we must judge, then we must use our Reason; if we must not judge, why do they produce evidence?
A71177If you ask where it is written?
A71177Ignis verò quomodo erit calore careus?
A71177Illa Concupiscentialis inobedientia quanto magis absque culpa est in corpore non consentientis, si absque culpa est in corpore dormientis?
A71177In the days of the Apostles the Holy Spirit did produce miraculous effects, but neither always, nor at all in all men: Are all workers of Miracles?
A71177In the sixth General Council, Honorius Pope of Rome was condemned; did that Council stay for the Popes Confirmation before they sent forth the Decree?
A71177Is God better served?
A71177Is Hell so easie a pain, or are the souls of children of so cheap, so contemptible a price, that God should so easily throw them into Hell?
A71177Is Jesus Christ formed in him?
A71177Is any man afflicted?
A71177Is it because we are commanded by the Apostle to reject a Heretick after two admonitions, and not bid such a one God speed?
A71177Is it by a natural consequent that we are guilty of Adams sin, or is it by the decree of God?
A71177Is it by the necessity of Nature, or by the liberty of our Will?
A71177Is it in all cases of the world unjust for God, to impute our fathers sins to us unto eternal condemnation; and is it otherwise in this only?
A71177Is it necessary they should perform any condition?
A71177Is it necessary?
A71177Is it not lawful for God, by an instrument of his own, under Holy hands to accord the heights, and sublimity of the Spirit?
A71177Is it not lawful to give thanks for the life and death, for the resurrection, holiness and glorification of Christ?
A71177Is it not next to an evidence of fact, that this multiplication of Schisms must be removendo prohibens?
A71177Is it not therefore evident, that he absolutely decreed Damnation to these Persons?
A71177Is it possible that a man should so attend his prayers, that his mind should be always present and never wander?
A71177Is it the same thing that was in the person?
A71177Is not the King fons utriusque jurisdictionis?
A71177Is not the little finger of the Son heavier than the Fathers loyns?
A71177Is not their practice quite another thing than it was at first?
A71177Is not this a respect of persons, and partiality to some, and iniquity towards all?
A71177Is not this to be partial in judgment, and inconsiderate of what we do?
A71177Is she not put in the Roman Calendar, and the fourth of May appointed for her Festival?
A71177Is there any error or imperfection in the words?
A71177Is there any imperfection in them, and can we mend them, and correct the Magnificat?
A71177Is there any new revelation now of the manner?
A71177It appears not, saith the Objector, that this story was in it then: To whom does it not appear?
A71177It is a fallacy à posse ad esse affirmativè?
A71177It is very well they do no more; but I pray in what forms did God the Father ever appear, or the Holy and Mysterious Trinity?
A71177Know ye not that as many as are baptized into Christ Jesus, are baptized into his death?
A71177LASTLY, Did not the Pen- men of the Scripture, write the Epistles and Gospels respectively all by the Spirit?
A71177Let no man therefore despise a sin, or be bold to plead for it, as Lot for Zoar, Is it not a little one?
A71177Let them tell us where an infant did fornicate, or how he who had done nothing, could fall under the curse of Adam?
A71177Librum sacerdotalem quis nostrum resignare audeat, signatum à Confessoribus,& multorum jam martyrio consecratum?
A71177Man dieth and wasteth away, yea man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
A71177May not Christ say to these men as sometime to the Jews, A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign, but no sign shall be given unto it?
A71177May we not be called Doctors?
A71177May we not then separate?
A71177Might they not be called Gratious Lords?
A71177NINTHLY, But lastly, how if the Spirit must be restrained, and that by precept Apostolical?
A71177NOW then I demand whether the Prayer of Manasses be so good a Prayer as the Lords Prayer?
A71177Nature disposes them well towards it, but in this inquiry if we ask what duty is passed upon a Brother to a Brother even for being so?
A71177Nay, is there any such thing as consecration at all?
A71177No, was not?
A71177No?
A71177Nor is it, whether Christ be really taken, but whether he be taken in a spiritual, or in a natural manner?
A71177Not so?
A71177Not to prove that Presbyters are sometimes called Presbyters; For who doubts that?
A71177Now I demand, what did Christ''s blessing effect upon the Bread and the Chalice?
A71177Now I demand, when God calls us to repentance, is it indifferent to him whether we repent to day or no?
A71177Now I desire it may be considered sadly and seriously, Is it not as much injury to the Spirit to restrain his matter, as to appoint his words?
A71177Now how will the Reader imagine that the Disswasive is confuted, and his testimonies from Antiquity answered?
A71177Now if our wills were free, why are they without our act, and whether we will or no, involv''d in the will of another?
A71177Now if so, I ask, Whether before that sin of Adam were our wills free, or not free?
A71177Now if the Church of Rome was of that opinion then, why is she not now?
A71177Now if the Fathers were not against them, what need these Arts?
A71177Now if they think their eyes may be credited for all the words of our blessed Saviour, why shall not their reason also?
A71177Now if this could be the complaint of a regenerate man, from what did Christ come to redeem us?
A71177Now of what is this a type?
A71177Now since for all our sins we are bound to ask pardon every day, if we do so, who dares say it is too much, that it is more than needs?
A71177Now the Apostles Creed does one; why therefore do not both intitle us to the promise?
A71177Now then I demand, whether Concupiscence before actual consent be a sin or no?
A71177Now then put case a Council should recede from Scripture; whether or no were we bound to believe its Decrees?
A71177Now what is that which thus may, or may not be found out?
A71177Now what is this ordinary Office?
A71177Now what should the Catholicks say or do?
A71177Now what solennity can be more required for the Pope to make a Cathedral determination of an Article?
A71177Numquid omnes Apostoli?
A71177O GOD my God, what have I done?
A71177O MY God, can yesterday be recall''d, and the flying hours be stopped?
A71177O death where is thy sting?
A71177O grave where is thy victory?
A71177O homo quicunque illam multitudinem peccatorum attendis, cur& omnipotentiam coelestis medici non attendis?
A71177O man, whosoever thou art, that attendest that multitude of thy sins, wherefore dost thou not attend to the Omnipotency of the Heavenly Physician?
A71177O my God, where is all that vanity which I suck''d so greedily as the wild Asses do the wind?
A71177O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame?
A71177Of Deacons?
A71177One is, you desire me to recite what else might impede your compliance with the Roman Church?
A71177Or could we do more before we were born than after?
A71177Or if he be not indifferent, is he displeas''d if we repent speedily?
A71177Or if he did not, to what purpose did he send Titus with all those powers before mentioned?
A71177Or if this was intended as sufficient, did the Apostles, or those Churches which they founded, know any thing else to be necessary?

A71177The first is; Where was your Church before Luther?
A71177The last inquiry is, How friendships are to be conducted?
A71177The like to this, is that saying of the Pharisees,[ Thou wert altogether born in sin, and dost thou teach us?]

A71177To do bread?
A71177To do what?
A71177To lessen and sweeten this expression he tells us, it is indeed broken; but how?
A71177To the other Question; Whether an Ecclesiastical Tradition be of equal authority with Divine?
A71177To the same sence is that of S. James, Is any man sick among you?

A71177and if it be a sin, whether it deserves damnation?
A71177and if it be neglected, what are we the farther of?
A71177and if it was then the use of the Church to pray with the understanding, why shall it not be so now?
A71177and if they had, how should they have been confuted?
A71177and that it be said, that without Gods grace they must have gone to Hell, because without it they could not go to Heaven?

A71177do all speak with Tongues?
A71177does not every man complain of this, and yet no man can help it?
A71177especially, since there was one case specially made for their interest, the example of the Thief upon the Cross?
A71177expresly against S. Hierome, Quomodo justificati sumus& sanctificati, si peccatum aliquid in nobis relinquitur?
A71177for a pretty face or a smooth chin?

A71177then how are they chang''d, and then what hath God done to them?

A67744But what of all this?
A67744But what saith Salomon?
A67744But what would malice rather have, than the vexation of them whom it persecutes?
A67744But what''s the reason of this their mistake?
A67744But what''s the reason?
A67744But who can measure thy goodnesse, who givest all, and forgivest all?
A67744But who will sow those barren Sands, where they are not only without all hope of a good Harvest, but are sure to loose their Seed and Labour?
A67744But why do I call it, unthankfulness?
A67744But why dost thou not altogether believe, that it is a blessed and happie thing thus to suffer?
A67744But why is it?
A67744But why?
A67744But why?
A67744But why?
A67744But wilt thou prove thy self wise?
A67744But with what comforts doth the Lord supply our losses?
A67744But you will aske me, from what must we save?
A67744But ▪ ARe you Christians?
A67744But, how can I lay down my life for Chriss, when I can not for his sake quietly disgest a few reproachful speeches?

A67744Can the ship that is but almost tite, keep out the water?
A67744Can there be such a parity between the parent and the childe, the husband and the wife, as there is a disparity between God and Satan?
A67744Can we not warm us at the Sun, but we must make an Idoll of it to worship?
A67744Can you tell me?
A67744Canst thou endure to dwell with the devouring fire?
A67744Cease from thy wisdome, wilt thou cast thine eyes upon that, which is nothing?

A67744Christ wore a Crowne of Thornes for me, and shall I grudge to weare this Paper cap for him?
A67744Christians should be like Christ: but how unlike to him are these men?
A67744Christianum dogma, vertitur in scomma, and what''s the reason but this?
A67744Dance hoodwinkt into this perdition?
A67744David, whence came all his troubles by Absalom, Amnon, Adonijah?
A67744Davids successe is Sauls vexation; yea, he findes not so much pleasure in his Kingdome, as vexation in the prosperity of David?
A67744Did God and Belial joyn in fu ● filling the same act?
A67744Did I swear or curse?
A67744Did ever any sinner implore the forgiveness of his sins, which did not receiv full remission and pardon?
A67744Did he not thrust his own feet into the stocks by that threefold lie of his uttered in a breath to get the blessing?

A67744Fifthly, Are you scoft and scorned?
A67744First he learnt godlinesse, then godlinesse taught him contentation; and is there any satisfaction like content?
A67744First, Are you of that small number?
A67744First, Does any man desire or glory in Knowledge?
A67744First, men scoff and scorn you; and why is it?
A67744For as St. Paul tells us, the heart of Man is not able to conceive those joyes; which being so, how should I be able to express them in words?
A67744For as none but a Cain will say, Am I my brothers Keeper?
A67744For consider, doth the Lord say hee will extend his mercie unto all that come unto him?

A67744For first: Who ever was, that was not slandered?
A67744For how else could you Swear and Curse as if he that made the ear could not hear?
A67744For if for one sin at the first, God plagued a world of men; how will he plague one man for a world of sin?

A67744For instance, Is any one censured, reviled and persecuted of lewd men, for being religious?
A67744For is such honest moral men, that live so unreprovably, as you had done, go not to heaven; what will become of me?

A67744God used the malice of Pharaoh and S ● imei unto good; what then?
A67744H ● ll in Scripture is called a Lake, that burneth with fire and brimstone: and than the torment of the former, what more acute?
A67744Hast not thou robb''d God of his worship?
A67744Hast thou been liberal to those that are owners of a part of thy goods?
A67744Hast thou been tender of his reputation, and as much as thou couldest vindicated his good name?
A67744Hast thou but thoughts and desires, and canst thou onely express them with sighs and groans?
A67744Hast thou kept thy head whole?
A67744Hast thou not all outward comforts, presenting themselves and their service to thee in great aboundance?
A67744Hast thou then a desire after this invincible patience?
A67744Hast thou vanquished the World, that vanquisheth all the wicked?
A67744Hath God given thee all things, and dost thou then thinke it a great matter to give him back something?
A67744Hath he done so much for us, and shall we deny him any thing that he requireth of us, though it were our lives, yea our souls; much more our lusts?
A67744Hath he promised that we shall not be tempted above our strength?
A67744Hath he promised to bless the merciful man in his temporal, civil, spiritual, and eternal estate?
A67744Hath this Lion yielded thee any Honey of Instruction, or Reformation?
A67744Hath thy sin died with thy fame, or with thy health, or with thy peace, or with thy outward estate?
A67744Have mercy upon me( saith he) and hearken unto my prayer, Why?
A67744Have not many Monopolists with us, done as bad as those Philippians?

A67744He smote the Rock that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; but can he give bread also?
A67744He that will corrupt his conscience for a pound, what would he do for a thousand?
A67744He was called of his enemies Conjurer, Samaritane, Wine- bibber,& c. was scoft at, scorned, scourged, crucified, and what not?
A67744Hearken we unto Christs voyce, in all that he saith unto us, without being swayed one way or another, as the most are?
A67744Heaven it self shall power down the food of Angels; have they no meat to their bread?
A67744Hee would have all men saved, and thou comest in with thy exceptive, All but mee; Why thee?

A67744How the heat of the stomach, and the strength of the nether chap should be so great?
A67744How the waters should stand upon a heap, and yet not over- flow the earth?
A67744How then should we admire the love and bounty of God, and bless his Name, who for the performance of so small a work, hath proposed so great a Reward?
A67744How unsearchable are his thoughts, and intendments to man- ward?
A67744I am becom partaker with the Rich Man in his Condemnation, and scorching flames in the horrible pit?
A67744I have been young, and now am old, y ● ● have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread: and why so?
A67744I know this is such a paradox to misers, and men of the world; that nothing seems to them more absurd and ridiculous: what?

A67744I will turn my talk to God: Why hast thou lift me up, and cast me down?
A67744I would fain know, whether this be not thy case, that art an unmercifull rich man?

A67744If it bee asked why God reckons so highly of a few sighs, and groans?
A67744If material fire be so terrible, what is Hell fire?
A67744If our prosperity hath made the world our God: how worthily shall our death- bed be choaked with such an exprobration?

A67744If we be righteous, our righteousnesse may profit the sonnes of men; but what can we give unto him?
A67744If wee bee sick, and the Physician promises to visit us tomorrow with his best relief; with what a tedious longing do wee expect his presence?

A67744In the last place, Are not all wilfull sinners arrant fools?
A67744Indeed, what have we by our second birth, which is not miraculous in comparison of our naturall condition?
A67744Is God more specially present with us in afflictions?
A67744Is any one afflicted?
A67744Is he thy Lord by a manifold Right?
A67744Is it Gods unspeakable mercy, that we are not at this present frying in Hell flames, never to be freed, and do we complain for want of a trifle?
A67744Is it meet that he who is not only thy Master, but thy Maker, should passe his time in continuall travell, and thou in continuall case?

A67744Lastly, For conclusion of this point, Wouldst thou be a contented and Happy man?
A67744Lastly, lock upon Lazarus, though Christs bosome f ● iend?
A67744Let every such Ionas reflect upon himself, and say, What evill have I done?
A67744Let him draw near, for I chiefly direct my speech unto him: Are afflictions and persecutions so necessary and profitable, as hath been shewed?
A67744Miriam for one slander?
A67744Moses for one unbelief?
A67744Much Respected, IF you ask, Why I take this pains?
A67744NOw why are godly Christians so content with a little?
A67744Nay, to abound with all things, and to be never the better for them, not to partake of them, what fool or mad man hath been known so senseless?
A67744Nay, why hath God spared thee, so long as he hath?
A67744Neither say of thy sin, as once Lot of Zoar; Is it not a little one?
A67744Neither want we Presidents of this: For by whom was upright 〈 … 〉 cuted and slain, but by his own brother Cain?
A67744Neither wants hee care; hee that numbers our very hairs, what account doth hee make of our souls?
A67744Never were the Iews more to bee pitied, than when their Prophet delivered these words from the Lord, Why should yee bee stricken any more?
A67744No, if another be at the charges to serve God, this Churle like Iudas, will cry out, Why is this waste?
A67744No, never they thank God ▪ are you proud?
A67744No, not they; What should they be proud of?
A67744Nor love, for if hee hath bought us with his blood, and given us himself, will hee deny us any thing that is good for us?
A67744Now Lord it being thus with us, how can we expect that thou shouldest hear our praiers,& grant our requests?
A67744Now ask the covetous muck worm, whether had you rather lack with those Saints, or abound with the devil and the rich man?
A67744Now consider ▪ Is one hours twitches of t ● ● ● orm of conscience here?
A67744Now if Saul or Doeg be instead of a Pestilence or Feaver; who can cavil?
A67744Now if all our sufferings are thus counterpoysed, and exceeded with blessings; have we any cause to be angry and impatient?
A67744Now if grace and Gods favour, brings such peace and joy: what fools are sinners?
A67744Now if that bosom wherein we all look to rest, was assaulted with so many sore trials, and so diverse difficulties, is it likely we should escape?
A67744Now instead of being overcome doest thou overcome?
A67744Now lay all together, and tell me whether this argues not hatred?
A67744Now tell me what you think of these blockish Iews: Were they more wicked, or witless, or ingrateful?
A67744Now tell me?
A67744Now the Tenant is more noble then the House; therefore why are we not more joyed in this, then dejected in the other?
A67744Now what Son of Israel can hope for any good daies, when he hears his Fathers were so evill?
A67744Now what better inheritance can we leave to our Children, then the blessing of God?
A67744Now what heart would not bleed to see men, yea multitudes run head long into these tortures, that are thus intolerable?
A67744Now what heart would not bleed, to see men run headlong into these tortures that are thus intollerable?
A67744Now what is it that we suffer, being compared with their sufferings?
A67744Now what should we render unto the Lord our God so good and gracious, in way of thankfulnesse for all these his mercies?
A67744Now when so much was uttered, even by a none- such for his patience; what may we think he did feel, and indure?
A67744Now who would not be willing to bleed, when by that means an inveterate sicknesse may be prevented?
A67744Now why doth God by his promise tye himself to bee present with us more especially in affliction?
A67744Now why must we pledge our Saviour, and sill up the measure of his sufferings?
A67744Now, are some afflicted in reputation?
A67744Now, do we love Christ?
A67744Now, if thy very enemies thus honour thee; how should thy friends( bought with thy precious blood) glorifie thee?
A67744Now, what are we to learn from this double lesson, but a two- fold instruction?
A67744Now, whethers counsell wilt thou follow?
A67744Now, who will not say, Give me the Bird that will sing in Winter, and seek to my window in the hardest frost?
A67744O Satan, how hast thou wounded me?
A67744O gentle Cato, how happy art thou to have been such an one?
A67744O how many great streams of Lamentation and tears will wash away and purge mine humble heart?
A67744O thou Co- eternall Sonne of thine Eternall Father, why should I think strange to be scourged with tongue or hand, when I see thee bleeding?
A67744O thou Devil, what hast thou done unto me?
A67744O what a glorious renown did the Traytors reproach occasion her?
A67744O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death,& c?
A67744O ● ool?
A67744Objection: But will some say, How shall we obtain this happy condition?
A67744Of Lot''s sons in Law, that counted their Fathers fore- warnings a meer mockage?
A67744Of the rich Glutton, that made no more reckoning of Moses and the Prophets?
A67744Oh, it is a good change, to have the fire of affliction for the fire of Hell: Who would not rather smart for a while, then for ever?
A67744Onely they have some wit in their anger: For how should Naboth be clenly put to death, if he be not first accused of blasphemy?
A67744Or Fifthly, Is it safety from fear and danger, that a man wishes for or desires?
A67744Or Ioseph, when hee w ● s once made Ruler in Egypt, that he had formerly been sold thither, and there imprisoned?
A67744Or Wilt thou leap into Hell and cast away thy soul, because others do so?
A67744Or a company of abject persons?
A67744Or am I the first that fell?
A67744Or can you put it into a better and safer hand, then into the hands of God himself?
A67744Or do they desire it to any such end?
A67744Or do we desire to do something again for Christ, who hath done and suffered so much for us?
A67744Or do you own him that made you, and that hath bestowed so many millions of mercies upon you?
A67744Or fourthly, Hath not self- conceitednesse broken thy credit?

A57385( 1) Hath Christ made his supernatural draught upon Mind and Heart?
A57385( 2) Are the a Ministers of Christ, his Pens to delineate Gods Laws in your minds and Hearts?
A57385( 2) Hath God razed and obliterated out of the mind and heart all other Laws, Writings, and Impressions which are inconsistent with these Laws of God?
A57385( 2) Not in all the New Testament: for where''s the Prohibition that can be pleaded in bar against them in all the New Testament?
A57385( 2) That thou shalt be one of his people; and what can g creatures do against thee?
A57385( 3) Hath the d Holy Ghost been the blessed Ink that hath immediatly written Gods Laws upon your Minds and Hearts?
A57385( 3) What then?
A57385( 4) Hath not God both in Old and New Testament abundantly declared himself against such liberty of Conscience, and Toleration of evils in Religion?
A57385( 5) How advantagiously hath God improved Adams fall, In promising his Recovery immediately upon his Fall?
A57385( 6) Hath God thus laid a foundation of Sinners Recovery in his Promise?
A57385( that is, to bring Christ down from above;) Or who shall descend into the deep?
A57385( that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead;) But what saith it?
A57385( x) Do we then make void the Law through faith?

A573854 Why God would dwell there?
A573854 ▪ Is it divine wrath, and the extream distance betwixt God and them?
A573855 What sins will not this Promise subdue?
A573855, how much more from Satan?
A573856 Is it infirmity or weakness of Graces or Duties?

A573857. Who would not strive to be Abraham''s true Covenant- Seed, that they may enioy the Lord as their Covenant- God?
A573859,& c. What sin doth more speedily drive God away then Idolatry?
A57385?
A57385A Question here ariseth, Whether this Covenant be the same with that which we have now with God, or another different from it?
A57385A murtherer of whom?
A57385Accomplished principally in Christs Person, the chief Center of them all?
A57385After him, whom?
A57385After them, whom?
A57385Again, shalt thou be to him one of his People?
A57385Again; The Question is not, Whether the Moral Law given by Moses doth bind us Christians, as it is purely Declarative of the Law of Nature?
A57385Ah, what shal I do, that I may be saved?
A57385All his New Testament Ministry; Extraordinary, Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists; Ordinary, Pastors and Teachers: For what end?

A57385And Coming, whom did be presently call?
A57385And David, a Do not I hate them that hate thee?
A57385And God by the Prophet lamentingly expostulates with them for their wilful disposition to their own destruction; k Why will ye die O house of Israel?
A57385And Gods mercies to Israel so t heighten Israels offences?
A57385And John saith elsewhere: h ye need not that any man teach you?
A57385And afterwards; How is it excluded, saith he?
A57385And again I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a son?
A57385And again; b Wouldst thou walk?
A57385And again; o — who is Paul, or who ● … s Apollo but Ministers by whom ye believed, as the Lord gave to every man?
A57385And are not all Church- Members, Christs Disciples?
A57385And are the Consolations of God small with thee?
A57385And are they not propounded herein to us, as n exemplary patterns for our imitation?
A57385And at another time; My dear Lord Iesus Christ hath begun to me of a more bitter cup then mine shall be, and shall I not pledge my most sweet Saviour?
A57385And being a Recovery without them of meer Grace, How can it become theirs but by the appropriating and applying act of Faith?
A57385And being examined of God, they confess not, but excuse their sin; As Augustine notes; q Did Adam say I have sinned?
A57385And besides these what other way can be imagined how Faith should be imputed for righteousness, except as it is an Instrumental cause thereof?
A57385And besides these, what can be suspected?
A57385And beyond these, what could God promise more?
A57385And can such acts, wherein Hypocrites go as far as true believers, justifie them before men?
A57385And can this ever carry thee beyond the Condition of an Hypocrite, Reprobate, and Cast- away?
A57385And dost thou murmur and repine at Christs day?
A57385And elsewhere, l — Where is boasting then?
A57385And elsewhere, q — Many say, Who will shew us good?
A57385And elsewhere: c What way wilt thou go?
A57385And elsewhere; q Wherefore then serveth the Law?
A57385And elsewhere; x Forasmuch as God gave them the like gifts as he did unto us, what was I that I could withstand God?
A57385And elswhere he gives an excellent reason to this effect, r Wouldest thou be happy: that is, better then thy self?
A57385And hath not God built our House, since we Covenanted to build his House?
A57385And he argues thus; Doth that phrase( without the deeds of the Law) exclude all works, and all law; or only some sort of works and laws?
A57385And how comfortable is it, that we and ours shall still be under the Guidance, Blessing, Grace and Influence of the best and compleatest Covenant?
A57385And how did his Apostles press believing upon such as desired Jesus Christ and salvation by him?
A57385And how far further it may yet be extended till the worlds End; who knows, but he alone, that y knows, and hath determined, when the world shall End?
A57385And how far it concerns or obligeth us, if not abrogated?
A57385And how far it concerns or obligeth us, if not abrogated?
A57385And how far it concerns or obligeth us, if not abrogated?
A57385And how far it concerns or obligeth us, if not abrogated?
A57385And how many years longer it may continue, till the worlds End, Who can tell?
A57385And how much happier are they that have the true blood of Christ himself: then they that had only the Typical blood of slain beasts?
A57385And how shall they preach, except they be sent?
A57385And if Angels do not so fully comprehend the mysteries of this Covenant, being already Devised and Revealed: how much less can man fadom it?
A57385And if God be theirs, m if God be for them, what can prevailingly be against them?
A57385And if that be granted, How can we maintain that Doctrine of the Reformed Churches, That Sole Faith justifieth?
A57385And if these be so requisite to our Covenant- state: How can they but be Covenant- Conditions?
A57385And if they be not o required from us, how shall they be excused from will- worship, and being inventions of man?
A57385And if we be the true Seed of Abraham, heirs of promise by Faith, what shall we render to the Lord for all these his benefits?
A57385And in this last sense chiefly the term Condition is to be understood in the Question in hand; Whether the Covenant of Faith be Conditional, or no?
A57385And in this sense that passage of Iames seems to be understood; o But wilt thou know O vain man, that Faith without works is dead?
A57385And is it a small matter to be invested with these Promises?
A57385And is it a small matter to be made Companions for the blessed God?
A57385And is not Christs righteousness perfect?
A57385And is not my God more to me then ten Elkanah''s, then ten thousand earthly enjoyments?
A57385And is this the manner of man, O Lord GOD?
A57385And must our Mediator be a right middle person betwixt God and man, having equall interest in both?
A57385And of evidential Justification, Iames saith; r was not Abraham our Father justified by works,& c?
A57385And others how hypocritically, negligently, grudgingly do they obey?
A57385And shall dust and ashes rebel against the command of the mighty God?
A57385And shall not lost sinners thirst after their own salvation: and cheerfully hasten to such a Saviour?
A57385And shall not our Impenitency,& c. under the New Testament be Covenant- breaking much more?
A57385And shall not they who live Spiritually by one and the same Spirit, have one and the same Heart and Way?
A57385And shall not this one God and Father who is thus over us, through us, and in us, keep us in unity?
A57385And shall poor, weak, despised, sinful dust and ashes have such familiar Communion with the glorious God?
A57385And shall we not much more have strong Confidence and Consolation upon Gods Promise and Oath?
A57385And then what shall seperate betwixt God and them?
A57385And therefore against all divorce of Gods people from his love by affliction, or otherwise, How doth the Apostle triumph?
A57385And therefore when Iohn in Prison heard of the works of Christ, and sent to him, saying: a Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?
A57385And this agrees most fitly with that which follows: what can David speak more to thee?
A57385And this under such advantagious and Comfortable- Notions?
A57385And thus all Gods people do Serve their God ▪ As g Abraham, h Iob, i David, k Paul,& c. Do we thus serve the Lord, as God, as our God?
A57385And to what end it is imputed?
A57385And what Law or Laws of God, were ever more Famous, Eminent, Noted, Known,& c. among the people of God, then his Moral Laws?
A57385And what Nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgements so righteous, as all this Law which I set before you this day?
A57385And what Promises can they want, that want not this grand Promise of God himself?
A57385And what could God promise more?
A57385And what could God say more?
A57385And what could God say more?
A57385And what death?
A57385And what further?
A57385And what good works do Old or New Testament urge, which are not contained in the Moral Law?
A57385And what greater comfort against Temptations then this, That the Lord is their Covenant- God?
A57385And what have we Received, but Primarily from him, and Ultimately for him?
A57385And what higher Spirituals could be promised to them?
A57385And what inferred he thence, for the comfort of Moses and Israel?
A57385And what is THE POVVER of THE COVENANT?
A57385And what is pure Gospel, but the Doctrine and glad- tidings of Salvation to lapsed Sinners in Iesus Christ by Faith?
A57385And what is sin, if this be not sin?
A57385And what is the Gospel, but the Glad tidings of Sinners salvation by Christ?
A57385And what is this, but to make Faith the Matter of our righteousness: and not Christ Or his Obedience?
A57385And what latitude of Covenant Duties are required and restipulated?
A57385And what may be further added?
A57385And what more?
A57385And what nation is there so great, that hath Statutes and Iudgements so righteous as all this Law which I set before you this day?
A57385And what shall I say?
A57385And what shall I say?
A57385And what shall I say?
A57385And what should I add more?
A57385And what should let then to infer?
A57385And what those Mysteries are?
A57385And what way could be more effectual then this Covenant way which God took for their consolation?
A57385And what''s the Inheritance ● … Gods heirs?
A57385And when did they ever pray more fervently to God, then when they were deserted most sadly by God?
A57385And when he hideth his Face, who then can behold him?
A57385And where be all his miracles which our Fathers told us of, saying; Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt?
A57385And while they were stedfastly looking after him, two Angels said to them; yee men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into Heaven?
A57385And who are of the works of the Law?
A57385And who can be Author of any Testament, but the Testator himself?
A57385And who ever lost thereby?
A57385And who knows but that yet there remain some Nations and Families to be called, as Indians,& c. which perhaps were never converted?
A57385And who more renowned then Abraham?
A57385And who shall controle his proceedings?
A57385And why doth God Covenant thus to do?
A57385And why else doth he denounce so many sad and severe threatnings to them that will not come to him that they might be saved?
A57385And why?
A57385And why?
A57385And will he be favourable no more?
A57385And will not this calm the most perplexed and wounded Conscience?
A57385And will the most high God, possessour of Heaven and Earth cast an eye upon such dry bones, and despised Captives?
A57385And yet I say; Who besides God himself alone, can fully understand, what God promised unto Israel, when he Covenanted to be A God to Israel?
A57385And yet of this small number, how few were there that had any saving inscription of Gods Laws upon their hearts at all?
A57385And z if he give peace, who can give trouble?
A57385And( as the same u Augustine) how shall he be under God, if not under his command?
A57385And, How shall a man know whether he be thus foederally Perfect?
A57385And, as Augustine appositely; g What sweeter Reward from God, then God himself?
A57385And, what Doubts, Scruples or Difficulties about thine eternal salvation, will not this Promise resolve and satisfie?
A57385And, what could God Promise more, then God?
A57385And, what shall I further say?
A57385Are Gods Mercy and Truth at variance, and opposite, whilst his Justice and Truth agree?
A57385Are not Conditions in man utterly inconsistent with Gods free- grace?
A57385Are our hearts enlarged, delighted, lifted- up, like Iehoshaphats, in the waies of God?
A57385Are there any Sins in the world, like my Sins?
A57385Are there not some Mediatory Actions so proper and peculiar to one Nature, that they can not belong properly to the other?
A57385Are these the chief Ends of this Sinai- Covenant?
A57385Are they b Ministers of the Spirit, or only of the Letter, to you?
A57385Are they many?

A57385Are we effectually called?

A57385Are we led by this Spirit?
A57385Are we new Creatures?
A57385Are we new h Creatures?
A57385Are we obstructed in the Actings of Grace, that they are low, dull, feeble,& c. in their operations: and this discourageth us?
A57385Are we one with Christ by faith and love?
A57385Are we one with Christ, by Faith and Love?

A57385Art thou rapacious?
A57385Art thou thus renewed and new- created in thy conversation?
A57385Art thou unclean?
A57385As A mighty one; As Gods chosen: As Gods servant: As Gods Annointed King; As Gods First- born higher then the Kings of the Earth?
A57385As David; o whom have I in heaven but thee?
A57385As David; p Whom have I in heaven but thee?
A57385As Iames said of worldly, so may I say of this Spiritual, Contention, m From whence come wars and brawlings among you?
A57385As Luther said, well; e What is the Second Table without the first?
A57385As f Asaph in his desertion complaining, will the Lord cast off for ever?
A57385As if God had said, David wilt thou build me an House?
A57385As in Iob, who in his distress thus complains to God; b wherefore hidest thou they face, and holdest me for thine enemy?
A57385As the Prophet said, y There are 〈 ◊ 〉 with us then with them ▪ Are they crafty?
A57385As the Psalmist; r Whom have I in heaven but thee?
A57385As with David; when he cryed out; b who am I, and what mine House?
A57385As, Did God thus Give his Law to Israel on Mount Sinai?
A57385As,( 1) Hath God hewen the Tables of mind and heart by his Spirit of Bondage?
A57385At first reading, who would extend this further then to his Natural Seed the Iews against their corporal enemies?
A57385At this time Abraham had no seed at all; h Abraham said, LORD God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless?
A57385Avare, quid in ● … as coela& terr ● …?
A57385Because, On that day of Pentecost, when the Jews q pricked in their hearts, cried out to the Apostles for a Remedy, Men and brethren what shall we do?
A57385Before God pardon us, what are we?
A57385Behold the Lord GOD will help me, who is he that shall condemn me?
A57385Behold, all things here are Sublime, Spiritual, Heavenly: And shall not we be elevated?
A57385Being f darkness, how should he illuminate himself?
A57385Besides which Promise, what had they to comfort themselves withall for many hundreds of years?
A57385Beyond this Promise, what can be Promised?
A57385Both of them i out of dry and despised roots?
A57385But How did the Serpent( God permitting it) bruise the Heel of Christ, in his own Person?
A57385But How doth Gods call prepare for Gods Covenant?
A57385But How was Abraham to be a Father, an High Father of multitude of Nations?
A57385But How?
A57385But alas what are all our things, our nothings; to the things of Christ?
A57385But alas, how hard is it to have Spiritual Gifts: and not to be puffed up?
A57385But alas, how many even in the visible Church walk contrary to God as children of disobedience, resolved in wickedness?
A57385But can we think, that Obedience, which God required, and Israel promised, was a faithless Obedience?
A57385But did, or doth the Law of Nature make this particular discovery?
A57385But for what is the Apostle thus earnest?
A57385But how are we to walk worthy of Christ?
A57385But how can that be?
A57385But how did all mankin ● … sin in Adam?
A57385But how did she testifie her great Love to Christ?
A57385But how hath God made Christ the matter of our Righteousness?
A57385But how many in these dayes, who count themselves children of Abraham, oppose and withstand, debase and cry down the Ordinances of God?
A57385But how may it be evidenced, That God entred into Covenent with the first Adam, even into a Covenant of Works, before the Fall?
A57385But how may we know that Gods Law is written thus in our Hearts?
A57385But how may we know that we are Abrahams Spirituall Seed, that we are Abrahams children?
A57385But how may we know this, That God hath given his Laws into our minds, and written them in our Hearts?
A57385But how shall this be, beloved?
A57385But how shall we discover this?
A57385But how shall we strive to become Abraham''s true Covenant- Seed indeed: and thereby to enjoy Abraham''s God to be our God in Covenant?
A57385But how was this performed?
A57385But how, and in what particular Notion, were God, Abraham, and his Seed, the Foederates or parties to this Covenant?
A57385But how?
A57385But if God take our Infants into Covenant; who shall dare to exclude them?
A57385But if this Remedy, this Covenant of Faith, be not accepted but despised, where shall such despises appear?
A57385But in this third Covenant, what multitude of both Temporal and Spiritual Mercies, and those of the Highest Excellency, are Promised?
A57385But is it ever possible, that such Assurance should be rooted in my Staggering and Unbelieving Soul?
A57385But oh thou of little Faith, and much Fear, Art thou in Covenant with God, and dost thou question thy Perseverance?
A57385But remove Christ from Davids House, where is the Eternity of his Kingdom, or of this Covenant?
A57385But the Question here is; whether Adam had a Mortal or Immortal life in Innocency?
A57385But the Question is then, How these words are to be understood?
A57385But the Question is, Whether the Moral Law given by Moses, binds us Christians now under the New Testament, as it is Constitutive and Preceptive?
A57385But this interpretation seems too much to force the phrase of the fourth Generation; and where doth Scripture stile 100 years a Generation?
A57385But this is too narrow; God having made Covenants with them before the Law, why should those be here excluded?
A57385But to what end and use did God appoint Sacrifices under this First dispensation of the Promise?
A57385But to whom was this First Promise made?
A57385But what is the Law of Faith?
A57385But what is this Covenant?
A57385But what is this Holiness ascribed to the Covenant?
A57385But what is this way?
A57385But what said the Answer of the Lord?
A57385But what said the LORD?
A57385But what saith it?
A57385But what saith the Answer of God to Sion?
A57385But what were those works of Abraham; wherein all his true Spirituall children are to imitate him?
A57385But what''s this righteousness of Faith?
A57385But when to Isaac?
A57385But whence hath this new Covenant such preheminence?
A57385But who are those that are Perfect and sincere before God?
A57385But whom did this pardoned woman love so much?
A57385But why do I instance in such small numbers?
A57385But why is it said, Once have I sworn?
A57385But why is this Covenant of Faith so largely tendered?
A57385But why is this forbidden Tree called The Tree of knowledge of Good and Evil?

A57385Their Protection, Their Portion, Their Honour, Their Delight, Their Liberty, Their Life, Their Friend, Their King, Their Father, Their Husband?
A57385Their own inherent, or acted Righteousness?
A57385Then, what need is there of any Humane Teaching, Publike or Private, any more?
A57385Then, what sort of Outward Acts are they wherein Conscience is to be left at liberty?
A57385Therefore if God, the Spring- head of all Mercies, become theirs: shall not all inferiour streams of mercies, thence flowing, be theirs also?
A57385Therefore we owe him our whole love: for what is our love, to his love; or our All, to his All?

A57385They have mouths but they speak not,& c. Do we thus look upon all other Deities mentioned in the world, as meer idols, fancies, lies, and vanities?
A57385They that abhor the Society of the godly walking with God: how shall they themselves walk with God?

A57385This thing in effect u I have formerly cleared, in Answernig that Question; Whether God alone can give A New Heart, and put a New Spirit into us?
A57385This upon the Matter seems to be the Apostles distribution; g Where is boasting then?
A57385This was Davids case, the Type: and Christs condition upon the Cross, the Antitype; z My God, my Ged, why hast thou forsaken me?

A57385Thus we see what the Lord intended, in establishing his Covenant with Abraham and his Seed, for an everlasting Covenant?

A57385To redeem whom?
A57385To t keep Gods Covenant and Testimony; as well as David and his seed?
A57385To this effect God interrogates, d Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should dye?
A57385To this effect it is said elswhere, h Wherefore then serveth the Law?
A57385To what End now is Christs righteousness imputed to any?
A57385To what Seed?
A57385To whom gave Abraham this Experiment?
A57385To whom is this Promised and Covenanted?

A57385We may therefore with the Psalmist burst out into Admiration; Lord, q what is man, that thou art mindful of him?
A57385We shall all agree in One eternal Glory: can we not now agree in one Principle, and way of Grace?
A57385We wonder not to hear of Christ in the Gospel: But is Christ in the Law?
A57385Weigh all things deliberately; what can thy discomforts be in the whole world, against which this Covenant yeelds not abundant Consolation?
A57385Well might David hereupon burst out; d Who am I O LORD God, and what is mine House, that thou hast brought me Hitherto?

A50522Let him that hath skill in the language judge, What need we then translate lightly afflict and heavily afflict?
A50522Locus igitur Rubo circumpositus sanctus erat;& non erit Sacra Mensa?

A50522May not any one see that the Apodosis answers not the Protasis?
A50522May not the Iews likewise reprove( if not more) the Church of Rome, the chief of Christian Churches, for symbolizing with Gentilism?
A50522May this stand?
A50522Michael one of the chief Princes came to help me?
A50522Might I not say, that many a man unto this day is cast out of his Paradise, and the labours of his hands cursed, for the same sin?
A50522Minutius Felix, when Caecilius objects, c Cur occultare& abscondere quicquid illud quod colunt magnopere nituntur?
A50522Minutius Felix; b Cur nullas Aras habent, Templa nulla, nulla nota Simulacra?
A50522Moses and Aaron, you take too much upon you; Is not all the Congregation holy, every one of them?
A50522Mr. Hartlib, YOU wish I had declared my self more largely: But what needed it?
A50522Mr. Mede began modestly to refuse this Courtesie, as too great to be received, and objected, How shall I be able to be solvent in convenient time?
A50522Must it not needs be, I gave?
A50522My next Argument why may I not take from that singular Character given to some one above other in the Apostles Salutations, as their peculiar?
A50522Nam nostra quidem scripta cur ignibus meruerint dari?

A50522Now I ask, Cujus stipendiis militat, qui militat?
A50522Now I ask, Did not Christ ordain the Holy Eucharist to be the Memorial of his Name in the New Testament?
A50522Now do not the Prophets speak of some Peace on earth which Messiah should bring with him when he comes?
A50522Now if the Devil were God''s ape in this; why might he not be so likewise in bringing the first Colony of men into that world out of ours?
A50522Now may not 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, Meats, be expounded in this sense?

A50522O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from this body of death?
A50522O ye Hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the skie, but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
A50522O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn God''s glory into shame?
A50522Omnia haec in momento fugae facta sunt?
A50522Or by a Pillar of fire and smoke?
A50522Or do you mean( for I have not the Bishop''s Book) that it was not there when Hilkiah found the Book of the Law?
A50522Or else to give them time of repentance; and then who art thou, O man, that repinest at the mercifulness of thy God?
A50522Or how could the Reformed Churches make such publick Confessions for themselves as they have done?
A50522Or is it some interpretation he hath of that Vision which was not compatible therewith?
A50522Or is the Word of God a revealed will unto those only who are learned, and hidden to others?
A50522Or might not the Sadducees have replied, the meaning to be of what God had been, not of what he should be?
A50522Or saith he it altogether for our sakes?
A50522Or should we expound this season and time of a thousand year after, when the last and final execution of Christ upon his enem ● e is to be?
A50522Or what if Manasseh himself had caused it to be taken thence when he dedicated the Temple to his Idols, lest it might serve them as it once did Dagon?
A50522Or what should any of the sons of Iaphet do among the sons of Sem?
A50522Or who can believe but he is to be destroyed at that time of Iudgment, when the Son of man shall appear in the clouds of heaven?
A50522Or will he change the form of his sentence for their sake?
A50522Or would you have an Example of a glory afterwards eclipsed and almost extinguished?
A50522Otherwise what need he have expounded Solomon''s mensa by Altare Christi?
A50522Otherwise what use will they have of the Restauration of the world?
A50522Our Saviour answers, Yes; For have ye not read,( saith he) Out of the mouth of Babes and Sucklings thou hast ordained strength?

A50522Secondly, The Inquisition it self, What is this that thou hast done?
A50522Secondly, The world being restored, why may not the mortal Bodies of men be something altered also?

A50522Shall I come before him with burnt- offerings, with calves of a year old?
A50522Shall I give my first- born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
A50522Shall a man make Gods unto himself, and they are no Gods?
A50522Shall all that oppose Christ''s truth be consumed with fire at that day?
A50522Shall he come 1600 years after the time of his coming was fulfilled?
A50522Shall not the Soul come down to receive its Body on Earth?
A50522Shall not the loss of every Soul that perisheth for want of due provision to maintain an able Minister, be cast to their account at the last day?
A50522Shall we not receive our sentence at the Last day according to our works of mercy?
A50522Shall we sin that grace may abound?
A50522Shall we then to avoid the lesser, and such as perhaps may not be, cherish the greater, which threaten ruine to the whole Body?
A50522Should a man therefore think there never appeared any of them in those times or to those Countries?
A50522Should not Man then first have enjoy''d his happiness in Paradise and on Earth, and after a time have been translated into Heaven?
A50522Should not the Prophecies under the Gospel be as perspicuous and determinate as those under the Law?
A50522Should not then lying unto the Holy Ghost seem to have something else, or something more in it?
A50522Should we here adventure upon any action rashly?
A50522Should we then come into it as into a Barn or Stable?
A50522Si enim haec fuisset Cerinthi Haeresis, quî i d ignorare potuerint Iustinus, Irenaeus, Melito, Tertullianus, Hippolytus?
A50522Si jam quaeras, ecquid in textu appareat quod ad hanc interpretationem potiùs inclinet quàm ad illam?

A50522Sin aliter, quin igitur Seculum futurum, Gehennam, Paradisum quoque explodimus?
A50522Siracusae vestrae capientur,& in pulvere pingitis?
A50522So if any of us shall say, How can this be?
A50522So is to be taken that in the first of Esay: To what purpose is the multitude of your Sacrifices?
A50522So may I say here, What have those to do with the Sacrament, the Mystery of peace?
A50522So much for the General Observation: Now to the particular handling of the words, Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the Lord?
A50522So that when Peter says in the third verse, Why hath Satan filled thine heart, to lie unto the Holy Ghost, and to purloin of the price of the land?
A50522So what is an Altar but a Table?
A50522Some read,* Why hast thou done this?
A50522Something then should seem to follow in special concerning it, else Daniel was frustrate of his looking: But what follows?
A50522Stabis ergo ad Dominum cum tot uxoribus quoi in oratione commemoras?
A50522Super Reges solúm?
A50522Suppose they be so; yet when there are many, why should not that which hath the principality draw this respect unto it?
A50522THE next thing is, The Inquisition it self; What is this thou hast done?
A50522THUS much of that which Agur requested; Now follows The Reason of his Request, Lest I be full and deny thee, and say, Who is the Lord?
A50522Table have had some reference this way?
A50522Tail, Sir?
A50522Tell me in good earnest, is this to honour a Priest or a Prophet in the name of a Prophet?
A50522Tell me, Is not God better sanctified in our Mind and Heart?
A50522Templum Iudaeorum,& non nostra Eucharisteria?
A50522Templum Tabernaculi Testimonii apertum in coelo?
A50522Templum quod ei exstruam, cùm totus hic mundus, ejus operâ fabricatus, eum capere non possit?
A50522That is, Before it was sold, was it not thine?
A50522That the time should be so long, that in the last days should come Scoffers, saying, g Where is the promise of his coming?
A50522That though they daily experiment these Truths, yet they will not be persuaded either from Venturing on the Sin, or from Continuing in it?
A50522The Baptism of Iohn, was it from Heaven, or from men?
A50522The Iesuits how run they up and down into all corners of the world, from the Sun rising unto the going down thereof, to propagate their Heresies?
A50522The Lord is 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 the Protector of my life, of whom should I be afraid?
A50522The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing,& c. And doth not his Son King Solomon say the same?
A50522The Persons To whom; To them: what Them?
A50522The Priests said not, Where is the Lord?
A50522The Promise, saith he, is made unto you and your children; were these then any others than Iews or Israelites, of the seed of Abraham?
A50522The first of these Commemorations is made unto God; for to whom else should we tender our thankfulness for the Creature?
A50522The first question which he us''d then to propound to every one in his order was, Quid dubitas?
A50522The grace of God( saith he) that bringeth salvation, hath appeared unto all men;( wherefore?)
A50522The other Question is, If all this be so, how is not our celebration of the Eucharist defective, where no such Oblation is used?
A50522The scoffers say, Where is the Promise of his coming?
A50522The scoffers say, Where is the Promise of his coming?
A50522The second Reason was the Nobility of this Tribe?
A50522The sons of Belial, how busie are they in debauching others and making them like themselves?
A50522The twelve- days- Feast of our Blessed Saviours Nativity, how is it longed for before- hand?
A50522The washing of the Disciples feet afore Supper, what doth it else call for but a cleansing of our hearts before we communicate?
A50522Then contended I with the Rulers, and said, Why is the House of God forsaken?
A50522Then, I pray, What think you of Dr. Heylin saying, That Evening- prayer on the Lord''s- day is but a late invention?
A50522Therefore Beza translates the words, Nonne, si servâsses,( so he renders 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉) manebat tibi?
A50522These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?
A50522They that then are found alive shall be caught up in the air?
A50522This reasoning is good, seeing God himself so reasoneth with his people; If I am a Father,( saith he) where is mine honour?
A50522This trial was it that Satan would have God put Iob unto: Doth Iob( saith he) fear God for nought?
A50522Thou fool, what will it profit thee to win the whole world, and lose thy own soul?
A50522Thou hast multiplied the nation, and increased the joy thereof,& c. If ye ask, How comes this?
A50522Thou that abhorrest Idols, dost thou commit Sacriledge?
A50522Though I cite both Canons, yet I suppose not the latter to have reference to the former,( for what had the Evening to do with the Synaxis?)
A50522Though not a cleanness of all our affections, yet at least( and what can God require less?)
A50522To speak first of Prayer: What is it that Prayer hath not obtain''d?
A50522To that stale triumphing Demand of the Romanists, Where was your Church before Luther?
A50522To what purpose are your sacrifices and burnt- offerings?
A50522To what purpose doth the Physician evacuate ill humors, if the Patient still distempers himself with ill diet?
A50522True it is, they merit not the Reward which shall be given them: but what then?
A50522Ubi enim illa in Veteris Testamenti Canone comparent, quae tamen apud Doctores Iudaeorum frequentissima sunt?
A50522Unde enim aut quo demum indicio sciri potuerit, tempus denotare Annum?
A50522Unde igitur illud Guio innotuit?
A50522Unde in Apotelesmatis insomniorum, quae ex priscis AEgyptiorum& Persarum monumentis collegit Arabs ille quem toties laudavi, Apomasar an Achmetes?
A50522Utrumque deinde, tam a Montes quàm Insulas, de Templis& Delubris Idolorum hoc turbine per Orbem Romanum disturbandis accipiamus?
A50522Vidistis, inquit, quae secerim AEgyptiis, ut portaverim vos super alas Aquilarum,& adduxerim ad me, scilicet in Desertum?
A50522Vox autem tonitrui quid?
A50522Was it not in thy power to dispose it according to thy Vow?
A50522Was it the Thousands that would have troubled him in his way?
A50522Was not this at the Beginning thereof?
A50522Was the seven thousand that had not bowed their knees to Baal, a visibly- distinguished Society from the rest of the body of Israel?
A50522Was there not here a Balaam to deceive, and a Baal- Peor to be worshipped?
A50522Was there not here a priority and posteriority of times?
