our selvs for life or death 21. Though pardon of sin be pronounced yet God hath the keeping of joy in his own hand 22. Every falling into sin is not upon all four a quite falling away 23. Samson's strength was in his locks but our strength against sin and errour is in Christ 24. A believing spirit trembles at any thing which hinders or grievs the Spirits working 25. Sense of God's love is sometimes withdrawn to make us mourn for it the more 26. When afflictions are doubled it 's time to pray hard believe and apply the promises and then deliverance will come 27. In the use of means run alwaies to Christ that he may work virtue being onely in him 28. God's time of helping the poor and needy is when all other help is at a stand 29. After faith ends on earth comes the life of vision in heaven 30. Redemption in regard of efficacie is no larger then God's Election for those which the Father gave in Election Christ by Redemption saves 31. God's general call in the Church is to call out his own 32. God rains the showers of his Ordinances upon all but Believers have onely the benefit of it 33. It 's no matter what cavills wicked men raise of God's intention and election seeing more grace and means are offered then they are willing to entertain 34. Christ is our husband faith yields consent and consent makes the match 35. Many are in the state of grace relying on mercy and wanting the assurance of pardon 36. Satan applying himself to the distemper of a melancholy spirit keeps it in darknesse 37. Sincerity is the holy man's perfection in the use of all means 38. A man may have excellent parts and no grace at all which are given for the good of others because such neglect faith humility and a broken spirit which are more then gifts 39. Parents shew their love most to the weakest child so God manifests his comforts most to weak Christians 40. Where there is faith there is praier for faith is the parent of praier and praier is the breath of faith 41. The living of a happy life consists in the assurance of God's love to our souls 42. The sense of Christs love in pardoning sin constrains us to an holy violence in performing of duty 43. Look upon the love of God and it will cut the sinews of sin and distrust in providence 44. Come in and stoop to Christ in doing thy duty and thou puts this question out of question that thou art one of God's Elect. 45. They who have no conflict in their spirit and no interruption in their estate may greatly fear their condition 46. In cases of desertion and seeming deadness trie which way soul the goes in its desires 47. Complain of thy self and sins to Christ and let sin have no quiet possession 48. He is a true Christian who lives in no grosse sin nor allows of no small sin 49. That man dies comfortably who believs Christ will have a care of his soul 50. Some Scriptures are become hard to understand because of so many diversities of understanding 51. Little Scripture is so sincere and indemnified as to please all conjectures and satisfie all interests and spirits that inquire into them 52. It 's a wilful error to choose to be solitary where there 's one Catholick consent and harmony 53. It 's dangerous to take by-paths where the open road is free and safe 54. He that chooseth singularity wil fall into many absurdities and implications 55. He that dotes upon his own invention and proposeth to himself a separate notion will ravish and wrest the Word by an audacious force 56. Many things lie yet hid in the Scripture as full of darknesse as wonder 57. Some undo a great deal of learning by an extreme ingredient of superstition or novelty 58. They that are most void of learning and experience dabble most in dark places 59. Though many things in Scripture be obscure and profound yet nothing superfluous 60. He reads the Scripture with danger of infection who brings the Plague with him 61 Carnal pleasures sowr and wither by using but spiritual become fresh and delightful 62. That heart is worse then iron whom Christs loadstone cannot attract 63. The graces of Christ are like the eternal springs of the earth that cannot dry up but are and shall be diffused until his whole house be filled 64. The love of Christians to Christ is no blind precipitate passion but guided by reason and election 65. Grace destroies not nature but perfects her by supernatural reliefs 66. There 's special intimacie and kindnesse betwixt Christ and those that fear him 67. Joy breeds from love to its root and where one is shed abroad the other trickls after it 68. The more we mind God by contemplation the more we admire and seek him 69. Many souls are black through the night of persecution yet comely in hope and patience 70. False teachers have many folloâ—â—… as wasps have combs but no honey 71. Some are Kite-eied to espy the filthinesse and carrion cast out of their brethren passing over their graces 72. Affliction may discolour the Church for a season but her proper and constant complexion will be beauty for ashes 73. None so implacable and bitter as hereticks and Schismaticks sons of the same mother the Church but not of the same Father God 74. Get under Christs protection and Government and he will not suffer thee to lack 75. He is in greatest danger of erring who travels alone 76. Babylon holds many of God's people yet let them not make such places their refuge much lesse their election 77. It 's truly Christian for a man to love those who hate him and do him wrong 78. It aggravates a man's sinfulnesse to be unholy wilst he converseth with such as are holy 79. It brings honour to God and man to be upright amongst those who are unjust 80. Perfect holiness is the aim of Saints on earth it 's their reward in heaven 81. As the salt Sea makes not the fish salt so no filthiness destroies true grace 82. Some men can personate Religion but are not religious persons 83. He who hath a plain heart hath also square dealings 84. If God hath given thee grace thou hast the best and choicest blessing can be given 85. Grace may be more eminent in some then in others yet every man hath every grace who hath any grace at all 86. It 's a great dishonor to our profession not to be upright in our dealings and conversation 87. Fear being all duty and every grace if uprightness of dealing be not from it it 's a heathenish virtue not a Christian grace 88. The fear of the Lord sweeps the heart and keeps the life clean 89. Holy enmity against sin is the temper of a godly man's heart 90. He that will avoid sin must avoid the occasion of sin and he that will keep from the act must keep from the way
better then a silken suit 42. He doth not God's will but his own who doth no more then himself will yea such a man takes pains to go to hell 43. God will find flaws in that for which wee look for thanks 44. If to do well cause discontent wee then offend not against men but their errours 45. He that doth no more then he is bound to do is rather wary then good 46. Adam notwithstanding the dignity of his condition variety and plenty of provision was set to work in Paradise 47. He that strikes deadly chooseth a sharp weapon so Satan chooseth the sharpest wits for instruments of mischief and seducement 48. It 's not company simply but good company which is good for man or woman 49. As it is not safe to be at Satan's mess though our spoon be never so long so it is not safe to lend an ear to a seducer 50. A sinful conscience which seeks to shun Gods presence discovers as much folly as faultiness and is like the fish which swims to the length of the line with the hook in the mouth 51. Satan can hurt a Saint but in the heel which is far from the head and though painful yet it is not mortal 52. Sin is the wicket that let death into the world 53. Fine apparel is a reproach to him that wears it being as a scarfe to the arme put out of joint 54. They are profane Niggards who think any thing too good for the servants and service of God 55. Wee are loth with Cain to confess our selves our brothers keeper and too willing to be his executioner 56. They that cannot forbear to sin cannot bear what is due to them for their sin becoming injurious to God's Mercy by diffidence and to his Justice by impatience 57. Self-guiltiness in some is the chief motive to suspition in others 58. Wicked men turn divine patience into humane presumption 59. Generation in the flesh and regeneration in the Spirit proceed from different principles 60. Man's head is a mint of evil imaginations his heart a sink of inordinate affections his memory a closet of sin full of fancies and impressures 61. God many times wills a change yet never changeth his will 62. God who made man without his help will not destroy him without his fault 63. As the Carpenters who built Noahs Ark were not saved in it so some preach others into the Church and live themselvs out of it 64. It 's as proper for sin to raise fears in the soul as for rotten flesh and wood to breed worms 65. Christians must labour as well to see God in his works as to believe him in the Scriptures 66. To break the bruised reed to trouble the grieved spirit to strike the breath out of a mans body who is giving up the ghost is cruelty upon cruelty 67. It 's the duty piety and humanity of the living to see their friends and relations fairly interred 68. Sincerity and safety go together 69. Gods commands are just in themselvs and justly commanded unto men nothing so great but we are bound to do it nothing so small that we may be allowed to sleight it 70. Whatsoever God commands there 's weight and worth in it to make it regarded 71. He that obeys not God in all things but with choice and exception obeys him not at all 72. Gods promises how fair or fierce soever never fail of an answerable effect he being immutable in his counsel unresistable in his power 73. It 's safer to go against the stream with godliness then to be carried along with ungodlinesse and overwhelmed in it 74. Every sin casts another shovel of brimstone upon the sinners soul in hell 75. The Saints in heaven onely keep holy day 76. Every cessation from sin is not a resurrection from sin 77. They that forget God in their life forget themselvs in death 78. He that watches not his first in clinations to sin but feeds them with the honey and milk of Gods mercy shall be drawn from presumption to desperation in God's mercy 79. Sin which comes in forma pauperis or pretends reason is very dangerous 80. Every man hath so many Gods as he hath habitual sins 81. Grace is no grace to me till I know I have and would have more of it 82. It 's strange God should think man enough for himself and man should not be satisfied with God 83. That mans heart is not sincere who loves God by the proportion of temporal blessing 84. It 's sin to distrust God in necessary things and to press him in superfluous things 85. No man ever lost his faith but hee that thought it not worth the keeping 86. It 's a powerful Sermon to see a man leave his ill-gotten goods and cast off his beloved sin 87. He that hath least of this world hath enough to weigh him down from heaven by an inordinate love of that little and he that hath most hath not too much to give for heaven and happinesse 88. Heaven will cost a rich man more then a poor man because he hath more to give for it 89. Rich and poor are alike in this that they must leave all which retard their present and constanâ— following of Christ 90. True repentance is when the sad soul weeps more blood at more pores then the weak body sweats drops of water and that more for the displeasure of God then the stripes of his displeasure 91. Not at all to be punished is a great affliction better be called Satan with Peter then friend with Judas 92. He is an imprudent man who disposes of years to come when he is not lord of to morrow 93. If any thing quenches the heat of sin the desire of money or the rise of sin it 's the consideration of death present 94. In the raging fits of sin and in the midst of their madnesse some have physick from God and are reclaimed 95. He that defers his repentance because of the thiefs example deludes his own soul for he was called at the first call not at the last and it is not for our imitation but to keep us from desperation 96. If there be any defect of joy in heaven it 's this that we cannot longer express our love by suffering for God 97. Faith in Christ is a full evidence yet suffering is a new seal upon that faith 98. They that neglect the good opinion of others neglect those virtues which should produce that good opinion 99. All the world never joined to deceive one man nor was ever any one man able to deceive the whole world 100. Better have no being then be without Jesus CENTURY 2. 1. ACcustome thy self to affliction before it comes and it will be no stranger when it comes 2. As long as I have God by the hand and feel his loving care of me I can admit any weight of his hand any furnace of his heating 3. To flatter our selvs in any licentiousnesse with an opinion of
natural corrupt weaknesse is a spreading deceit 4. If God at any time by any means restore thee to bodily health he can as easily give thee spiritual physick and soul-health 5. Praier hath the nature of violence in besieging God and taking him prisoner and bringing him to our conditions and God is as it were glad to be straitned by us in that siege 6. Little knows the Devil how much good he doth us when he tempts us exciting us to go to God who gives the issue with the temptation 7. God hath as many Antidotes as the Divel hath poisons as much mercy as the Divel hath malice 8. God is glorified in those victories which we by his grace gain over the Divel 9. An afflicted spirit and wounded soul dwell at the gates of atonement and restitution 10. A delicate and prosperous life is highly contrary to the hopes of a blessed eternity 11. He that considers himself well will find that for a secular joy and wantonnesse of spirit there are not left many void spaces of his life 12. Never any charitable man died an evil death for when other graces shall be useless this will bear up the soul upon the wings of Cherubims unto eternal bliss 13. Death to the Godly is the best of all evils and the end of all troubles 14. Impatience with a disease doth mischief by its self and mischief by the disease 15. They that bear the yoke with indignation and murmure gall their spirits fret the skin and hurt nothing but themselves 16. Faith is the life of just men the restitution of dead men the justification of sinners the support of the weak the confidence of the strong the magazine of promises and the title to eternal happiness 17. Faith will trust God's goodness and believe him to be a Father when the storm rises and the keels toss till the cordage crack 18. In all sufferings the cause makes it noble or ignoble tolerable or intollerable 19. Ignorant believers are soon swallowed up and rid over standing in an open field but understanding believers are in a fenced Town and have out-works reasons to lose before the Town be taken 20. No soul hath so prostituted her self but God can make her a Virgin again 21. In every sin we become prodigals but in the habit of sin we become bankrupts 22. He that knows not or takes no knowledge of an injury hath no injury 23. They that are too inquisitive what other men say of them disquiet themselvs 24. God warns before he wounds coming seldom to that dispatch a word and a blow but to a blow without a word to an execution without warning never 25. How many sell heaven and happiness for grains of dust 26. We are born in the last age of the world and died in the first 27. No meditation more serious then the worlds vanity no consideration more seasonable then the brevity of life and uncertainty of time no knowledge more wholesom then the diseases of the mind no contemplation more heavenly then humane misery 28. Poor Infants newly born not able to speak yet prophesie and the contents are lamentations mournings and woes by the tears they shed to fill up the vale of tears they enter 29. 'T is a sign of one nobly bred who first learns to hold his peace and afterwards to speak 30. Wise is that man that sets forth towards heaven in the morning of his daies giving God the first and best part of his time 31. Many old men at the instant of their dissolution desire the continuance of life their flesh being like the Peacocks which being sod grows raw again so after mortification by diseases and age desire to enthral themselves in earthly pleasures 32. No distinction in the grave all have hollow eier flat noses and ghastly looks and all is but dust 33. Seeing the fashion of the body is onely to be altered and the body to be worn again it 's fit we carefully lay it up in deaths Wardrobe the grave 34. On earth we labour for rest in heaven we rest from our labour 35. Water your plants at the departure of your dearest friends but drown them not for whatsoever we complain of here they are freed of in heaven 36. Never any died at London who never lived there so no man ever died in Christ who never lived in him 37. God seldom or never makes use of a godly man to be the scourge of his people 38. As water is powred into a garden-pot at one place but runneth out at an hundred holes so one coming into the world but an hundred waies of going out 39. It was a wise mans complaint that every man thought himself qualified either for Magistracy or Ministry two weighty burthens but now though in the declining age too many are undertakers of both 40. Ambition will to the pinacle of the temple for the glory of the world though it tumble for it to eternal ruine 41. Eminency is seldom sudden and permanent for they which in the dawn of fortune break so gloriously meet with a storm at noon or else a cloud at night 42. If destruction dog us wee are to thank our corrupt affections not blame our Maker he doth but leave us and they harden us 43. A busie prying into the Ark of Gods Predestination is accompanied with insolence and with danger to enquire the the cause of Gods will why this man is elected and not that is an act of lunacie not of judgment and the question is as guilty of reproof as the author 44. Make not curiosity the pick-lock of divine secrets knowing that such mysteries are doubly barred in the Coffers of the Almighty 45. Man's work is to contemplate God's works not to sift his mysteries to admire his goodness not blur his justice 46. In God's dark mysteries he that can see no reason if he see his own infirmity sees a sufficient reason why he should not see 47. Worm and no man take heed how thou struglest with thy Maker let it be thy happiness to be made his Steward though not his Secretary 48. O blessed Jesu though I have committed those transgressions for which thou maist condemne me yet thou hast not lost those compassions by which thou maist save me 49. Never a tear dropping in sincerity is unpitied or unpreserved 50. Outward percussion of the breast without inward remorse of conscience is rather an aggravation of sin then release 51. Study to be truly that what we seem to be and not seem what we are not 52. Meteors and false fires of Religion by-path the soul into blinded zeal leads others into steps of error 53. We may expect a blessing and an acceptance when God's ordinances are used in his order 54. God fills the hearts of his people according to the size and capacity of their vessels 55. As the Water which made the clean woman fruitful made the unclean swell and rot so as the receivers are so Sacraments prove either for good
praiers when they intend to fall one upon another 48. To every good work we had need of renewed assisting grace 49 Against every evil we are tempted to we had need of delivering grace 50. O! how a sudden winde of temptations trips up the heels of a strong man sometimes 51. He that is privie to his own soul of good intentions to abstain from evil may presume God will assist him against evil 52. God not onely delivers from ill and out of ill but many times from a greater ill by a lesser 53. Rather then a man shall miscarry when God hath any work for him to do he will work a miracle 54. Death is sometimes a preservation it self sending a man to heaven his harbour and rest 55. It 's the fate of Kings many times to out live their glory and Kingdoms 56. He that keeps heaven for us keeps us also for heaven 57. The firm belief and hope of heaven are effectual for a holy life and conversation 58. We must one time or another have those graces on earth which fits us for heaven 59. An humble soul is ever thankful for the least measure of grace 60. Man's imploiment in heaven is singing of Psalms and so much as we are given to this exercise are we in heaven 61. The extent of our desires to God's glory should be carried to all eternity 62. A beggarly maintenance makes a contemptible Ministry 63. A Christians care is that there be no breaches made upon the Doctrine sealed by the blood of the Martyrs 64. An evil Governor is not onely a poison to the State and Church whilst hee he lives but the mischief of it afterwards 65. All the good actions of the life meet together and comfort a man in death 66. As men cast seed upon seed where the ground is fruitful so the more good we do the more opportunities of doing good are still offered 67. As we are in a perpetual Proficiency in this life so there 's a perpetual necessity of means and Ministry 68. We may enter upon all the means of saving knowledge upon this ground because Christ our teacher is able and willing to lead us from one degree to another 69. Christ not onely brings doctrine but wit and grace to the inward man 70. After Christ the Father loves all in Christ with the same love wherewith he loves Christ 71. As all heat in the creature is from the Sun so all piety and goodness flows from God above 72. The love of God is the spring of all duties and graces making us not onely good but comfortable as birds in the Spring 73. Faith is nothing but the act whereby we apprehend the love of God to us in Christ 74. They that have Christ for their Redeemer shall have heaven for their inheritance the Spirit for their guide the Angels for their attendance 75. God fills the bellies of many men with inward things whose hearts he never filled with his love 76. The sooner a sinner comes into God it 's the easier and his comfort will be the stronger 77. To thrive in a course of sin is a sign of reprobation 78. The way to keep God's love in us is to be careful to keep our selves under th means of salvation and to look on God as he is presented in the Gospel 79. Some are kept a little longer under the Law before they come under Grace 80. Seasonable afflictions sanctified are evidences of God's love 81. Our love to God is sincere when it comes from the Word and the Spirit and from good things there manifested to the soul 82. If we have God's love no matter what we want or in what condition we be 83. As the Sun doth not alwaies shine out so the love of God is not alwaies manifested 84. Rejoice in thy portion lesse or more whosoever thou be who finds the love of God in the best things 85. The want of feeling of God's love to us causeth the defect of our love to pity piety charity duty 86. He hath need of much reverence watchfulnesse and humility who will preserve himself in the love of God 87. God's love is better then life it self and if we have not this no matter what we have 88. All is love and mercie to those who are in Christ the beloved 89. Christ by his Spirit dwells in all believers therefore they should labour all to be one 90. How excellent were it if all men had the same thoughts the same religion the same aims and affections to good things a thing to be desired but not hoped for 91. If Christ be in the soul then tumults and fightings also for nature is long yielding to grace 92. They that are in Christ must not think it strange or be much troubled with inward oppositions 93. Into whatsoever soul Christ comes he will scourge out the lusts and sweep out the filth of that soul 94. They who entertain Christ onely in the brain give him as bad entertainment as they who forced him in a manger 95. It 's to no purpose or comfort to have Christ in our tongues and the world in our hearts 96. If Christ take up the heart and affection for his rooms then there flows a base esteem of all worldly excellencies 97. Christ was in Zacheus's heart before he was in his house else he had never been so charitable 98. Sometimes it 's needful we trust the judgment of others better then our own to know who dwells in us 99. As the Sun-beams are pure still though shining upon dunghills so is Christs Spirit not joining but wasting and consuming corruption 100. Christ dwells largely in that soul where the Word is its reason the Commandements its will God's glory its joy CENTURY 5. 1. A Heart having once entertained Christ is never content till it be with Christ in heaven 2. It 's dangerous thrusting our selves into such company whom we know to grieve the Spirit of God 3. If the soul apprehend Christ to bee gone let it observe how it lost him and recover him by the contrary 4. Discouragements proceed from carnal outward things but comforts proceed from the presence of divine things 5. Afflictions amongst the wise heathens could not hinder the life of reason and can they among Christians hinder the life of grace 6. God fits Prophets for persons giving them teachers sutable to their desires 7. Where grace is there will be without doubt mercy 8. It 's sign of life when a Christian is sensible of inconveniences 9. God first makes us fit and then makes use of us for to work 10. It 's a true disposition of a child of God to have a heart tender soft and pliable 11. Nothing so hard as the heart of man if wrought upon it must be by an Almighty power 12. The Adamant is only melted by blood so is the heart of man by Christ crucified 13. As water begining to freez will bear nothing almost but after a while any thing so a tender
heart at first doth tremble at the least sin or error but through custome and continuance will bear up any sin or error 14. The more sensible the soul is of outward things the lesse 't is of spiritual things 15. He that sets his love upon the creature loseth the very strength of his soul 16. Wise men when they go about spiritual duties cut themselves short of the use of the creatures 17. Conscience hardned in some great sin makes no stop in fin 18. A heart will not easily be kept tender that is not under the means of grace 19. A Reprobate hath joined with his heart security insensibleness obstinacie and contempt of the means 20. A Christian may have hardnesse of heart and yet feels it as a man that hath the stone and know it 21. If God take away the grace a man hath he becoms worse of himself then he was by nature 22. They that are not bettered by Religion under the means are so much worse by their use of the means 23. Spiritual grief for sin though it be not so vehement as outward grief for losses yet it is more constant 24. If there were no weaknesse in us what need Christ continue making peace for us in heaven 25. They that have a tender heart from God have also a tender heart for God 26. A tender heart is fit to run any errand of God's sending because its pliable 27. Tender hearts lay to heart other mens estates weeping over the misery of the wicked rejoicing at the good of the godly 28. A cerimonial hypocrite is more hard to be wrought upon then Turk or Pagan 29. It 's a disposition not unbefitting the greatest Monarch to humble himself before the great God 30. It 's the glory of a Christian that he hath got grace to humble himself 31. Many are humbled who are not humble and cast down who have proud hearts 32. True sorrow cannot speak distinctly for broken hearts speak but broken words 33. Justification of God and self-condemnation go with true humiliation 34. Hee that thinks highly of himself robs God of his glory and makes himself an Idol 35. An humble heart is a vessel of grace for so much humility so much grace 33. After the measure we empty our selvs in that measure we are filled with the fulnesse of God 37. All grace flows in upon the humble soul as water from the hills into the valleys making the soul rich in God 38. Seeing humble fouls are onely safe and secure we must either humble our selvs or God will 39. God works many times by graceless persons but he doth not work in them 40. Thunderclaps over our heads are feared but not those which are far off so wicked men fear judgment near but regardless if far off 41. If humiliation have not faith and hope to raise the soul to some comfort it turns to desperation 42. True humility makes a man nothing and yet fills the soul in God 43. A wicked man may be sensible of his judgment but not of the cause 44. Adversity will never hurt where there 's no iniquity 45. Outward expressions of sorrow are no further good then when they come from inward grief and affection for God must have inward affections or else he abhors outward actions 46. It 's an easie matter to force tears but it 's hard to afflict the soul 47. It 's the sin of many in stead of renting their cloaths in coming before God come to shew their bravery and to be seen 48. That man is falsly humble and truly proud who while he afflicts the body omits the soul 49. Tears for sin proceeding from inward grief is a temper becoming any Christian 50. All expression and manifestation of devotion is little enough so it be without hypocrisie 51. Magistrates who are tenderly affected with the condition of the people shall have a people carry a tender affection to them 52. It 's great cause of weeping to a gracious heart that it cannot weep 53. It 's a bad sign when we itch to hear of another man's fall thinking thereby to hide our own wickednesse 54. Praier begs blessing from God and thankfulnesse continues them with man 55. Many times there 's most grief where there are fewest tears 56. Spiritual sorrow is a great deal better then naturall for it fats the soul 57. God puts all his children's tears in a bottle But wicked men spare him a labour for they seldom weep though they have most cause 58. A broken heart expresseth it self more in sighs and groans then in words which the Spirit onely understands 59. It 's our wisdom to observe how God hears our prayert that so we may be suitably thankfull 60. He that prayes with a resolution to fin goes to God with a petition in one hand and a dagger in another 61. Whatsoever the crosses of a good man be his last end shal be assuredly blessed 62. God takes notice of every good word and work the godly do and will reward it 63. Hypocrites are recompenced because God will not be in their debt and it 's all their desire 64. When a Christian lookes onely on the ill that 's in him he robs God of his glory and himself of comfort 65. The good are scattered amongst the bad in their life but in death they shall be gathered to God 66. He that joins himself in love and affection to wicked men on earth shall be also joined in torment and destruction in hell 67. God sometimes reservs men in this life to worse miseries then death it self 68. One death is better then many and a sudden sometimes better then a lingring 69. A man may out-live his happinesse so that life it self may prove a judgement 70. Sight of misery works deeper on the soul then the hearing of it 71. Death indeed is the King of fears very terrible but that which is at the back of death is more terrible hell and damnation 72. Some men's death is like Josiahs a mercy and a correction 73. Many times good parents are taken away that they may not see the ruine of their children 74. Good Christians like good corn will sooner be ground to powder then yield either to the rough blasts of persecution or the smooth flattering gales of error and heresie 75. The chief care of the chief Magistrate is for the good of Church and State 76. Man is freed from the Law as it 's his Judge but not as it 's his Counsellor 77. If a godly man go out of the way he shall smart for it and be whipt home again 78. He that hath stuck long in the mire of sin must be haled and pulled out by violence and must not look for peace and comfort presently 79. Wee walk by faith in this world sense and sight is reserv'd for another world 80. No good is to be done to the soul by praiers and cries so long as we are carelesse of purifying the heart 81. Despise not the outward
one to Christ thy surety to pay thy great debts as thy small ones 52. Upon whom God bestows much cost there he looks for some answerable fruits 53. Sin may draw down judgment on a godly man but it shall not rest on him 54. The Church hath evermore received more hurt by discord then open enemies 55. In all diseases take away the proud and dead flesh and the plaister will fall off 56. When the fuel of sin is taken away Gods fiery wrath ceaseth 57. Saints by their great falls lose their communion but not their union with God 58. Of all burthens the absence of God's favour is most intollerable 59. Except healing and pardoning mercy go together man hath no comfort and God no glory 60. It 's very ill when small temptations makes us question the truth of God's promises 61. It 's sad to see carnal men contriving other waies of coming to Christ then ever he ordained or revealed 62. We must go to the promises for enlargement to duty our service requiring no portion but meer poverty and emptinesse 63. He that is content Christ should take all from him and dispose altogether of him hath a holy frame of heart 64. It 's Satan's policy either to let us see no sin or nothing but sin 65. Never any saved but rebells nor received mercy but such as opposed mercy 66. No Scripture saith the greatnesse of man's sin hinders the greatnesse of God's mercy 67. It 's not properly some men's unworthinesse but their pride which hinders them from Christ desiring something in themselves and not to have all from him 68. There 's no limitation of the riches of God's free grace but onely in the sin against the Holy Ghost 69. God shews mercy not because wee please him but because mercy pleaseth him 70. Whatsoever sight of sin unfits a man for mercy that sight is sinful 71. He that depends upon the power and mercy of God in his Ordinances shall find proportionable succour and success 72. When all means fail let the soul look up to God and out from it self being the fittest time to meet God and disappoint Satan 73. As a tree may want leaves and fruit not wanting sap or moisture so a Christian may want sense and feeling when there is faith 74. Sometimes some mens souls are like sullen children refusing their meat because they have not what they would 75. It 's a bad custome some men have never to be well but when judging rashly of their eternal being 76. Some men in hearing study how to find answers to put by their comforts 77. He â—hat listens to carnal pleas sins deeply and wounds his soul dangerously 78. He that enters the lists with Satan concerning God's Decrees will be carried into a wood where no body comes and no comfort to be had 79. We must not measure the riches of God's love nor sweetnesse of his grace by our own conceits 80. In self-judging observe the good as well as the bad and do not lie at the catch with thine own soul to take it at the worst 81. There 's a great deal of evil in that self-willed proud heart who hath all his objections answered yet renews them afresh 82. It 's a sin to reject mercy when God offers it as to kill a man which he hath forbidden 83. It 's better crosse our own humors then crosse God's Spirit 84. Stubborn peevish souls if saved in the end yet they are as it were in hell upon earth 85. Let souls hold to the Word in their dispute with Satan and he will be weary and go away 86. Look from one end of the heavens to the other and see if ever any man leaning upon God was disappointed 87. A soul leavs all other things for that which is chief with the soul 88. Faith gives a kind of being to whatsoever we do or speak 89. We must not think to bring any good to the promises but go to them for all good 90. We must not look for sanctification till we come to the Lord in vocation 91. O precious faith which brings all goodnesse with it grace here happinesse hereafter 92. There would be a sweet mutual peace in God's holy mountain if every one kept in his own limits knowing his duty 93. It 's an eminent and infallible mark of regeneration to have the violence and fierceness of our nature taken away 94. He that refuseth works of mercy to those in need is a murtherer 95. The doctrine of Christ is preached to many but the power thereof extended but to few 96. That man is holy and harmlesse who when opportunity of doing evill is offered can abstain 97. It 's a blessed thing when we are provok'd to forbear to revenge our selves 98. It 's a sign of a woful state when our tongues flie out in words and our hearts are set on mischief in small matters 99 No man can love a saint as a saint but a saint 100. Religion and Rebellion are inconsistent CENTURY 7. 1 NO man is turned unto God but he loves the society he formerly hated 2. It 's dangerous too much to admire fleshly excellency for those gifts of goodness which are in the same 3. As there is a cruell justice many times so there may be a cruel mercy 4. A heart set upon chafing brawling and raging is void of comfort 5. He may be assured of the remission of sin who is released from the bondage of sin 6. No sin so small but there 's an enmity against God in it and a dishonour to God 7. He that would make all comfort sure to himself let him make this sure first that his sins are forgiven him 8. The onely way to quiet our hearts is to hearken what God saies 9. All God's children must be plowed and have the clods of their corruption broken 10. Misery to the righteous is as a sojourner but it rests on the back of the wicked man 11. The means time and measure of afflictions is of God's own appointment 12. The wounds of a friend with holy reproof are precious but his wounds by sinful counsel are pernicious 13. There 's another life besides the natural life and the root of it is Christ our life 14. That nothing can suffice man coms from a divine instinct to make him seek out another life wherein consists happinesse 15. He that finds such an antipathy betwixt his spirit and sin as betwixt him and poison hath true grace in his heart 16. We must hate the conversations of such who hinder us in the growth of spiritual life 17. As without shedding of blood no forgivenesse of sin so without the Spirit sealing the promises to our souls we have no comfort 18. Christ is the fountain of spiritual life but faith is the pipe conveying it to us 19. Better for us to sleep in a house full of Adders and Serpents then in a state of sin 20. Happy practice when with the day we clear the sins of the day fitting
of sin 91. Children must not be counted bills of changes for they are greater blessings then any outward thing else 92. Wo to those parents whose gain for their children is the loss of their own souls 93. Emptiness and poverty presseth hose most who once were full and rich 94. Great and good rich and holy are happy but rare conjunctions 95. To be extream poor or rich is one extream temptation 96. That man is rich in grace who is very poor but very holy 97. Temptations are greater and stronger upon the full and rich then the poor and empty 98. God never gives any thing evill in it self to those who are good nor the chief good to those chat are evill 99. There 's fire in all estates ill gotten which at last will consume them 100. The time we spend in spirituall duties is the time gained for secular therefore to turn poor if thou turn godly fear not CENTURY 8. 1. MUtual agreement amongst children is a comfortable blessing to parents 2. Nothing more uncomely and unnaturall as rents divisions and brawlings in a family 3. Prodigality of time is the worst and most dangerous prodigality 4. Faith is a glutinous monopolizing grace possessing Christ and by a close application making him wholly the soul's 5. The faithfull soul takes sure hold of Christ in the time of darkness and temptation 6. Christ lodged in the heart is as a bundle of myrrhe sweet and bitter at once preserving joy and trembling together 7. If thy heart swell too high and grow proud taste and chaw the bitter plant of Christ's death and it will break the imposthume 8. If thy heart fail thee in any conditon smell at the sweetnes of Christ and he will transmit life and comfort 9. The virtue of Christ's death never dieth but floweth down to ail ages for ever 10. God hath appointed that where the crosse is there also is the cordiall against it 11. Divine love is the caus of divine beauty and rejoyceth in it's own work 12. The beauty of the soul is the holiness of it being God's Image 13. Christ hath the truth and essence of beauty whereas earthly things have it only in estimation 14. The unquiet brains of men tossed with opinions rest in the scripture as in a bed 15. Our sins are thorns and so are temptations to sin and afflictions for sin 16. Heresies and schisms are worser then the sharpest stings and thorns to the Church 17. Women lose their good name not onely by keeping ill company but by keeping none 18. As weary travellers seek cool arbours and delight in them so doth the weary soul after and in Christ 19. Some men carry a thin shaddow of piety and zeal but no more 20. It 's neither losse nor dishonour to be vanquished in the field where Christ is General for at last we shall be conquerors 21. A holy soul is sick and weary and lives not in her self but in Christ in whom her life is hid 22. They are happy beyond expression who are transfixed with the wounds of Christ's love 23. It 's no waies befitting Christians to lye down and stretch themselves in sinfull pleasures 24. It 's our duty comfort to draw near to Christ in affection and conversation 25. Holy practise makes grace visible and brings out from the heart to the life 26. A parent may put money in a childs purse but he cannot put grace in his heart 27. Prayer which requires a holy heart many times makes a holy heart 28. None can come at the spirit of another but the Spirit of God 29. Moderate refreshing and recreation may well become holy men 30. The care of parents ought to live as long as they and their children live together 31. Children when grown in years must not think they have out-grown obedience and honour to their parents 32. The speciall care of a holy father is for the soul of his child 33. Such parents whose care is onely to make their children great not good in this world are themselves the Devils children 34. Grace is very attractive it desires to draw others into fellowship 35. He that doth ill by thy advice the ill shall be reckoned unto thee 36. All holy duties call upon us all for a holy preparation 37. It 's seldome the duty sanctifies us unless we be sanctified for the duty 38. It 's very bad to make a preparation and then to put off or neglect the duty 39. It 's God's due and our duty to give God the morning the first and best part of the day 40. As the morning is a friend to the Muses so to the Graces it being the best praying time 41. It 's not safe to let sin lie upon our consciences unrepented 42. He that hath guilt upon his soul hath a fire in his soul 43. Prayer is a lifting up of the soul and elevation of the spirit unto God 44. By distinguishing the times many Scrptures are made to agree 45. He that sacrificed offered up a beast but he that obeyeth offereth up himself 46. God in the Sacrament sees the death of his Son and that satisfies him and man sees the death of his Saviour and that justifies him 47 Actings of faith powering out of prayer makes Sacraments effectuall to man acceptable to God 48. Christ was ever and is and shall be the only remedy and cure of sin 49. Every one is saved by particular actings of his own faith and therefore every soul must believe for it selfe 50. We cannot converse in this uncleane and dirty world but some uncleanness will fasten upon us 51. To be without grosse sin is our holiness on earth to be without any sin is the holinesse of heaven 52. A good heart turns suspicious of others sinning into intercession that they may be pardoned not in accusations that they may be defamed 53. He that repents of those sins which he only fears he hath committed shall be sure to repent of those he doth commit 54. It 's too easie a matter to sin about holy things lawfull things often being the occasion of unlawfull 55. For a man to blesse God in his sin is a very high strain of wickednesse 56. Every sin is a turning from God but few sins are a farewell to God 57. The heart is to be kept with all manner of keeping for sinfull thoughts are dangerous sins 58. The heart of man is so wicked as to sin over one sin a thousand times 59. Renewed sin require renewed repentance and we must give over repenting when wee have don sining 60. That which men do out of conscience they will do it out of peresverance for nature may have good moods but grace is steady 61. Usually where God gives much grace he tries grace much 62. All things in heaven and earth are disposed by the unerring wisdom and limited by the Almighty power of God 63. Sleep is a short death and death is a long sleep 64. It should be the voice of every soul
base 39. In our straits consider what we were and shall be ere long and it will work the soul to contentation 40. wicked men thrive often but they are never blessed their prosperity is their curse 41 He that blesseth God in his affliction his affliction shall be a blessing to him 42. That man is full of grace who is composed in word and thought under affliction 43. To be good when we suffer evil is the height of goodness 44. Nature teacheth a man to value his life above the world and grace teacheth to value the soul above the life 45. It 's a woful thing to put off repentance to a pained body which pain is powerful of it self to disquiet the mind 46. He lives miserably who lives by medicines and most miserable who is beyond the help of Physick 47 It 's an holy man's comfort to bee alone and yet they are never alone having an invisible friend to visit them 48. Wicked men think by Satan's perswasions that death is an end of outward trouble 49. Satan makes Duellists most willing when they are most unfit to die 50. Look upon evil as coming from the hand of God and it will quiet thy heart in bearing evil 51. If men did consider that the milk of the Word is the food of the soul they would rather their bodies be without souls then their Churches without Preachers 52. They who carry away the principal Tithes from the Church had rather lose their inheritance in heaven then let Christ have his inheritance on earth 53 If the buyers and sellers in the Temple deserv'd whipping the buyers and sellers of the Temple deserve hanging 54. Church-robbers on their death-beds or in hell will see that sacrilege is the worst of thefts and murthers 55. Church-goods prove as unfortunate to many as the gold of Tholossae to the followers of Scipio 56. Some men think to go to heaven by giving their Ministers the hearing which is all they give them 57. Wit and poverty seldom make up an honest man 58. That man is never truly thankful to God who is unthankful to the means 59. God's glory will make a good man speak when terrour it self hath commanded silence 60. Our Pharisees are worse then the Pharisees of old for they paid Tithes of all they had 61. Some mens shoo-ties cost them more in a year then their souls 62. Great is the affection of a Convert to a Minister who hath been the means of his conversion 63. The Lord hath committed the souls of Magistrates to their Ministers but the bodies of Ministers to the Magistrates 64. Our love to God is best known by our respect to his messengers and usage of his members 65. If persons were prized according to what is in them the world would be rightly ranked 66. The favour of God goes out for nothing in man but the wrath of God goes forth alwaies for something in man 67. The sins and afflictions of men are swiftly carried upon the wings of same and posted about by reports 68. A man then sets his seal to it that he is a friend when he willingly shares in his friends affliction 69. Some friends are like the swallow to come and sit and sing with us in summer but when winter comes they seek for a hotter climate 70. To visit the sick is not a complement but a commanded duty 71. It 's good manners to be an unbidden guest at the house of mourning 72. A suitable end is the grace and beauty of all our undertakings 73. No sicknesse or affliction can wear out the marks by which Christ knows us 74. Silent mournings are the sorest when lifting up the voice vents the sorrow 75. In great sorrows the mind is unfit to take in comfort 76. A talkative comforter is another disease to a sick man 77. Let sorrow have it's way a while and it will make way for comfort 78. Cursing is now made the common weapon of anger and wrath wishes the evil it cannot work 79. Eternity the day of glory is one continued triumph for our birth-day in grace 80 Grace doth not take away sense it heightens nature and doth not abolish it 81. The comfort of every day depends onely upon the blessing of God 82. Honor is but an higher unhappiness â—â—ches are golden thorns and strength ability to bear a heavier burthen 83. The same creature comfort may prove to us a curse or a blessing 84. No man on earth in so sad condition but he may be in a worse 85. Much of the comfort of our lives is brought in by the society of good friend 86. They who have no treasure in heaven cannot but be enraged when the hope of their gain is gon upon earth 87. He that is a knowing christian can hardly sin without a smart upon conscience 88. To commit sin against light is not so great an argument of an evill heart as to be troubled at the light which rebukes them 89. That man's damnation sleeps not who awakes the Devill to shew him sinning opportunities 90. He that loves wages will not stick to do that work which brings in wages 91. In sad times small comforts passe for great merits and in such times the removing of small comforts is a great affliction 92. Disappointment of expectation is no small provocation in the day of trouble 93. That hell is such a night as never shall see the dawning of the day hath more torment and pain then all the pains of hell 94. If God turn not the key of the womb the poor infant must lye in prison making his mothers womb his grave 95. We should consider there 's more of God's power in bringing us into the world then in bringing us out of any trouble in the world 96. Every step of life stands in need of a step of mercy 97. Life is a tempestuous sea-voiage and death brings us to our harbour 98. Paul had an ear to hear those word which his body had no tongue to express 99. To wish things otherwise out of tenderness that God should be offended is both lawfull and commendable 100. Secretly to surmise or openly to complain that the world is not well governed is plain blasphemy CENTURY 10. 1. IN things which we cannot understand let us adore God's secret Justice and unsearchable wisdom 2 Powr out your complaints into God's bosome and let second causes be look't upon but in the second place 3. To bear our crosse is the patience of necessity but to love to bear it hath in it the height of affection and the depth of subjection to Christ 4. Men may put riches with them in the grave but they cannot keep them one moment out of the grave 5. They who fall from God by impiety will quickly fall upon man by cruelty 6. It 's the character of an extream wicked man to be a troubler of the place and peopl where he lives 7. He that followeth sin and serveth pride and ambition serves a hard master
whom the piety and zeal of those holy Martyrs are revived and doctrine continued 73. No mans calling must call him from God or godliness for particular callings must give place to the generall 74. The power command or example of great men is no warrant to sin 75. An unsound conscience is large and can swallow any thing but a sincere conscience is strait and the least thing sticks in her throat 76. He that takes custom for a safe rule of his actions takes a crooked rule and a blind guide by the hand 77. The falls of holy men in Scripture should teach us rather fear then boldnesse to sin 78. It denotes a sincere heart when it grievs for another man's sin 79 Adversity unites those many times whom prosperity divides 80. Sectaries cry Come out of Babylon and in the mean time fall into her substantial errours which are both her foundation and frame 81. It 's better many waies to swallow a Ceremony then rend a Church 82. Though Sectaries intend it not yet Antichrist and Hell have no better Agents 83. Death many times borders upon birth and the cradle stands in the grave 84. All the contentments of this life are as far from sincerity as contentment 85. O death if thy pangs be grievous yet the rest which follows thee is sweet 86. Let no Christian despise the means of his salvation when he knows the Author 87. The bread of the Sacrament was once the Bakers now it is God's the water was once every man's now it is the Laver of Regeneration 88. It is to thee O God we must powr out our hearts who onely can make our bitter waters sweet 89. Contentation is a rare blessing because it ariseth from a full fruition of all comforts or a not-desiring of some which we have not 90 No man so bare as not to have some benefits none so full as to want nothing yea as not to be full of wants 91 It is our faithlesness that in visible means we see not him who is invisible 92 Our greatest pleasures on earth are but pains in their loss 93 To whine in the midst of abundant riches is a shameful unthankfulness 94 When a heart is hardned with passion it will endure much e're it will yield to relent 95 God will be waited on and will give the consummation of his blessings at his own leisure 96 Let salvation be never so plentiful if we bring it not home and make it ours by faith we are no whit the better 97 Nothing so sovereign which being perverted may not annoy instead of benefitting us 98 Man would forget at whose cost hee lives if he wanted nothing 99 Lenity is ill-bestowed upon stubborn natures and it 's an injurious senslesness not to feel the wounds of our reputation 100 I care not how little or unpleasant a potion I find in this wilderness if the power and benefit of Christ's precious death season it to my soul Trino-uni-soli-Deo gloria FINIS Books lately printed for Thomas Parkhurst at the Sign of the three Crowns over-against the great Conduit at the lower end of Cheap side 1659.
