In what sense ascribed to God, [i. 340–343]. Afflictions, sharp. Make Atheists fear there is a God, [i. 81]. Make us impatient (see [Impatience]). We should be patient under them (see [Patience]). Many call on God only under them, [i. 151]. Fill us with distraction in the worship of God, [i. 258]. The presence of God a comfort in them, [i. 399]; and his knowledge, [i. 488]. The wisdom of God apparent in them, [i. 547–550]. The wisdom of God a comfort in them, [i. 593]; and his power, [ii. 98], [99]; and his sovereignty, [ii. 451].

How useful a creature, [i. 54]. Almighty. How often God is so called in Scripture, [ii. 10]. How often in Job, [ii. 36]. Angels. Good, what benefit they have by Christ, [i. 536], [ii. 263], [264].

Atheism. Opens a door to all manner of wickedness, [i. 24]. Some spice of it in all men, [i. 25–27]. The greatest folly, [i. 24–77]. Common in our days, [i. 26], [79], [80]. Strikes at the foundation of all religion, [i. 26]. We should establish ourselves against it, [ib.] It is against the light of natural reason, [i. 2]. Against the universal consent of all nations, [i. 29], [30]. But few, if any, professed it in former ages, [i. 32–34], [80]. Would root up the foundations of all government, [i. 77].

How great a sin it is, [i. 169–171]. Misery will attend it, [i. 171], [172]. We should watch against it, [ib.] Directions against it, [i. 172], [173]. Atheist. Can never prove there is no God, [i. 81]. All the creatures fight against him, [ib.] In afflictions, suspects and fears there is a God, [i. 82]. How much pains he takes to blot out the notion, [ib.] Suppose it were an even lay that there were no God, yet he is very imprudent, [i. 83]. Uses not means to inform himself, [ib.] Atoms. The world not made by a casual concourse of them, [i. 50]. Attributes of God. Bear a comfortable respect to believers, [i. 513]. Authority. How distinguished from power, [ii. 364].

Best we have. Ought to be given to God, [i. 242–244]. Blessings. Spiritual, God only the author of, [ii. 357]. Temporal, God uses a sovereignty in bestowing them, [ii. 412], [413]. See [Riches]. Body of man. How curiously wrought, [i. 63–67], [523]. Every human one hath different features, [i. 66]. God hath none (see [Spirit]). We must worship God with our bodies, [i. 219–222]; yet not with our bodies only. See [Soul], and [Worship]. Bodily shape. We must not conceive of God under a, [i. 197], [198]. Bodily members.

Abolished to promote spiritual worship, [i. 213]. Called flesh, [ib.] Not a fit means to bring the heart into a spiritual frame, [i. 214]. Rather hindered than furthered spiritual worship, [i. 215], [216]. God never testified himself well‑pleased with it, nor intended it should always last, [i. 216–218]. The abrogation of it doth not argue any change in God, [i. 346]. The holiness of God appears in it, [ii. 131], [132]. Ceremonies. Men are prone to bring their own into God’s worship, [i. 133], [134]. See [Worship], and [Additions], &c. Chance. The world not made nor governed by it, [i. 59]. Charity. Men have bad ends in it, [i. 153]. We should exercise it, [ii. 353], [354]. The consideration of God’s sovereignty would promote it, [ii. 456]. Cheerful, in God’s worship. We should be, [i. 235]. Christ. His Godhead proved from his eternity, [i. 291–293]. From his omnipresence, [i. 392], [393]. From his immutability, [i. 346–348]. From his knowledge of God, all creatures, the hearts of men, and his prescience of their inclinations, [i. 465–469]. From his omnipotence, manifest in creation, preservation and resurrection, [ii. 80–86]. From his holiness, [ii. 190]. From his wisdom, [i. 558]. Christ. Is God man, [ii. 62]. Spiritual worship offered to God through him, [i. 241], [242]. The imperfectness of our services should make us prize his mediation, [i. 261]. The only fit Person in the Trinity to assume our nature, [i. 558–560]. Fitted to be our Mediator and Saviour by his two natures, [i. 563–565]. Should be imitated in his holiness, and often viewed by us to that end, [ii. 200–207]. The greatest gift, [ii. 266–269]. Appointed by the Father to be our Redeemer, [ii. 424–426]. Christian religion. Its excellency, [i. 167]. Of Divine extraction, [i. 580]. Most opposed in the world, [i. 111.] See [Gospel]. Church.

How great is God’s love to her, [ii. 449–515]. His sovereignty a comfort to her, [ii. 452], [453]. He will comfort her in her fears, and destroy her enemies, [ii. 472], [473]. God exercises patience towards her, [ii. 504], [505]; for her sake to the wicked also, [ii. 506]. Why her enemies are not immediately destroyed, [ii. 513]. Commands of God. See [Laws]. Comfort. The holiness of God to be relied on for, [ii. 190], [191]. Comfort us. Creatures cannot, if God be angry, [ii. 448]. Comforts. God gives great, in or after temptations, [ii. 311–313]. Communion with God. Man naturally no desire of, [i. 161]. The advantage of, [i. 172]. Can only be in our spirits, [i. 202]. We should desire it, [i. 308]. Cannot be between God and sinners, [ii. 183]. Holiness only fits us for it, [ii. 204], [205]. Conceptions. We cannot have adequate ones of God, [i. 196], [197]. We ought to labor after as high ones as we can, [ib.] They mustnot be of him in a corporeal shape, [i. 197], [198]. There will be in them a similitude of some corporeal thing in our fancy, [i. 198], [199]. We ought to refine and spiritualize them, [i. 200]. Conceptions, right. Of him, a great help to spiritual worship, [i. 272], [273]. Concurrence of God. To all the actions of his creatures, [ii. 156], [157]. Concurring to sinful actions. No blemish to God’s holiness, [ii. 157–163]. Conditions, various. Of men, a fruit of Divine wisdom, [i. 531], [532]. Conditions of the covenant. See [Covenant], [Faith], and [Repentance]. Confession of sin. Men may have bad ends in it, [i. 153]. Partial ones a practical denial of God’s omniscience, [i. 480], [481]. Conscience. Proves a Deity, [i. 69–73]. Fears and stings of it in all men upon the commission of sin, [i. 70–72]; though never so secret, [i. 71], [72]. Cannot be totally shaken off, [i. 72]. Comforts a man in well‑doing, [i. 72], [73]. Necessary for the good of the world, [i. 73]. Terrified ones wish there were no God, [i. 97]. Men naturally displeased with it, when it contradicts the desires of self, [i. 123]. Obey carnal self against the light of it, [i. 140], [141]. Accusations of it evidence God’s knowledge of all things, [i. 463]. God, and he only, can speak peace to it when troubled, [ii. 79], [386]. His laws only reach it, [ii. 390], [391], [432], [433]. Constancy in that which is good. We should labor after, and why, [i. 360], [361]. Content the soul. Nothing but an infinite good can, [i. 73], [74]. See [Satisfaction], and [Soul]. Contingents all foreknown by God. See [Knowledge of God]. Contradictions.

Qualities linked together in the creatures, [i. 52], [53], [524]. Conversion. Carnal self‑love a great hindrance to it, [i. 137]. There may be a conversion from sin which is not good, [i. 150]. Men are enemies to it, [i. 160], [161]. The necessity of it, [i. 163], [164]. God only can be the Author of it, [i. 165], [166], [ii. 396]. The wisdom of God appears in it, in the subjects, seasons, and manner of it, [i. 544–547]; and his power, [ii. 72–78]; and his holiness, [ii. 139]; and his goodness, [ii. 306], [307]; and his sovereignty, [ii. 396–404]. He could convert all, [ii. 399]. Not bound to convert any, [ii. 401], [402]. The various means and occasions of it, [ii. 421]. Convictions, genuine.

The power of God a comfort when they are strong and stirring, [ii. 99]. In God’s people shall be subdued, [ii. 450], [451]; the remainders of them God orders for their good, [i. 538], [544].

The wisdom of God made over to believers in it, [i. 593], [594]; and power, [ii. 98]; and holiness, [ii. 190], [191]. A promise of life implied in the covenant of works, [ii. 253], [254]; why not expressed, [ii. 527]. The goodness of God manifest in making a covenant of grace after man had broken the first, [ii. 274], [275]. In the nature and tenor of it, [ii. 275–277]. In the choice gift of himself made over in it, [ii. 277], [278]. In its confirmation, [ii. 278], [279]. Its conditions easy, reasonable, necessary, [ii. 279–284]. It promises a more excellent reward than the life in paradise, [ii. 291–293]. Covetousness. See [Riches], and [World]. Creation. The wisdom of God appears in it, [i. 518–525]; and should be meditated upon, [i. 525]; motives to it, [ii. 5–9]; his power, [ii. 35–44]; his holiness, [ii. 126], [127]; his goodness, [ii. 244–258]. Goodness the end and motive of it, [ii. 228], [229]. Ascribed to Christ, [ii. 81–85]. The foundation of God’s dominion, [ii. 368–370]. Creatures. Evidence the being of God, [i. 28], [42–64]; in their production, [i. 43–51]; in their harmony, [i. 52–60]; in pursuing their several ends, [i. 60–62]; in their preservation, [i. 62], [63]. Were not, and cannot be, from eternity, [i. 45], [46], [292]. None of them can make themselves, [i. 47–49]; or the world, [i. 49], [50]. Subservient to one another, [i. 53], [378]. Regular, uniform, and constant in it, [i. 56], [57]. Are various, [i. 58], [519], [520]. Have several natures, [i. 60]. All fight against the atheist, [i. 82]. God ought to be studied in them, [i. 86]. All manifest something of God’s perfections, [ib.] Setting them up as our end (see [End]). Must not be worshipped (see [Idolatry]). Used by man to a contrary end than God appointed, [i. 148]. All are changeable, [i. 355]. Therefore an immutable God to be preferredbefore them, [i. 358]. Are nothing to God, [i. 395]. Are all known by God, [i. 422], [423]. Shall be restored to their primitive end, [i. 313], [ii. 293]. Their beautiful order and situation, [i. 520], [521]. Are fitted for their several ends, [i. 522–524]. None of them can be omnipresent, [i. 378]; or omnipotent, [ii. 18]; or infinitely perfect, [ii. 24]. God could have made more than he hath, [ii. 21], [22]. Made them all more perfect than they are, [ii. 23], [24]. Yet all are made in the best manner, [ii. 24], [25]. The power that is in them demonstrates a greater to be in God, [ii. 31]. Ordered by God as he pleases, [ii. 57]. The meanest of them can destroy us by God’s order, [ii. 107], [448].

Cannot comfort us if God be angry, [ii. 448]. All subject to God, [ii. 381–387]. All obey God, [ii. 465], [466]. Curiosity in inquiries about God’s counsels and actions. A great folly, [i. 295]. It is an injuring God’s knowledge, [i. 475–477]. It is a contempt of Divine wisdom, [i. 590]. Should not be employed about what God hath not revealed, [i. 603], [604]. The consideration of God’s sovereignty would check it, [ii. 457].

Day. How necessary, [i. 523]. Death of Christ. Its value is from his Divine Nature, [i. 564]. Vindicated the honor of the law, both as to precept and penalty, [i. 566].

No succession in them, [i. 285]. Unchangeable, [i. 582], [583], [ii. 451], [452]. See [Immutability]. Defilement. God not capable of it from any corporeal thing, [i. 201], [390], [392]. Delight. Holy duties should be performed with, [i. 234–236]. All delight in worship doth not prove it to be spiritual, [i. 235]. We should examine ourselves after worship, what delight we had in it, [i. 252]. Deliverances. Chiefly to be ascribed to God, [i. 406]. The wisdom of God seen in them, [i. 550–552]. Desires, of man. Naturally after an infinite good,[i. 73], [74]; which evidences the being of a God, [i. 74]. Men naturally have no desire of remembrance of God, converse with him, thorough return to him, or imitation of him, [i. 159–161]. Devil. Man naturally under his dominion, [i. 118], [119]. God’s restraining him, how great a mercy (see [Restraint]). Shall be totally subdued by God, [i. 498]. Outwitted by God, [i. 568]. His first sin, what it was, [ii. 427–429]. See [Angel]. Direction. Men neglect to ask it of God (see [Trusting in ourselves]). Should seek it of him, [i. 585]. Not to do it, how sinful, [i. 589], [590]. Should not presume to give it to him, [i. 591]. Disappointments. Make many cast off their obedience to God, [i. 115], [116]. God disappoints the devices of men, [ii. 418–420]. Dispensations. Of God with his own law, [ii. 391–393]. Distance from God. Naturally affected by men, [i. 158], [159]. How great it is, [ii. 180]. Distractions in the service of God. How natural, [i. 114], [256]. Will be so while we have natural corruption within, [i. 256], [257]; while we are in the Devil’s precinct, [i. 257]. Most frequent in time of affliction, [i. 258]. May be improved to make us more spiritual, [i. 258–261]; when we are humbled for them in worship, [i. 258], [259]; and for the baseness of our natures, the cause of them, [i. 259]. Make us prize duties of worship the more, [ib.] Fill us with admirations of the graciousness of God, [i. 260]. Prize the meditation of Christ, [i. 261]. They should not discourage us, if we resist them, [ib.]; and if we narrowly watch against them, [i. 262]. Should be speedily cast out, [i. 274]. Thoughts of God’s presence a remedy against them, [i. 404]. Distresses. See [Afflictions]. Distrust of God. A contempt of God’s wisdom, [i. 593]; and his power, [ii. 93]; and of his goodness, [ii. 319], [320]. Too great fear of man arises from it, [ii. 94]. See [Trusting in God], and [in ourselves]. Divinity. Of Christ (see [Christ]). Of the Holy Ghost (see [Holy Ghost]). Doctrines. That are self‑pleasing desired by men, [i. 139]. See [Truths]. Dominion of God. Distinguished from his power, [ii. 364]. All his other attributes fit him for it, [ii. 364], [365]. Acknowledged by all, [ib.] Inseparable from the notion of God, [ii. 365], [366]. We cannot suppose God a creator without it, [ii. 366]. Cannot be renounced by God himself, [ib.]; nor communicated to any creature, [ii. 366], [367]. Its foundation, [ii. 367–372]. It is independent, [ii. 372], [373]; absolute, [ii. 373–377]; yet not tyrannical, [ii. 377], [378]; managed with wisdom, righteousness, and goodness, [ii. 378–380]. It is eternal, [ii. 386], [387]. It is manifested as he is a lawgiver, [ii. 387–394]; as a proprietor, [ii. 394–413]; as a governor, [ii. 413–422]; as a redeemer, [ii. 422–426]. The contempt of it, how great, [ii. 426], [427]. All sin is a contempt of it, [ii. 427], [428]. The first thing the devil aimed against, [ii. 428], [429]; and Adam, [ii. 429]. Invaded by the usurpations of men, [ii. 430], [431]. Wherein it is contemned as he is a lawgiver, [ii. 431–435]; as a proprietor, [ii. 435], [436]; as a governor, [ii. 436–441]. It is terrible to the wicked, [ii. 446–448]. Comfortable to the righteous, [ii. 449–453]. Should be often meditated upon by us, [ii. 453], [454]. The advantages of so doing, [ii. 454–457]. It should teach us humility, [ii. 458]. Calls for our praise and thanks, [ii. 459], [460]. Should make us promote his honor, [ii. 461], [462]. Calls for fear, prayer, and obedience, [ii. 462], [463]. Affords motives to obedience, [ii. 463–466]; and shows the manner of it, [ii. 466–469]. Calls for patience, [ii. 469]. Affords motives to it, [ii. 469–471]. Shows us the true nature of it, [ii. 471]. Duties of religion. Performed often merely for self‑interest, [i. 150–154]. Men unwieldy to them, [i. 151]. Perform them only in affliction, [i. 151], [152]. See [Service of God], and [Worship]. Dwelling in heaven, and in the ark. How to be understood of God, [i. 385], [386].

God knows all their persons, [i. 485], [486]. Election. Evidenced by holiness, [ii. 205]. The sovereignty of God appears in it, [ii. 394–396]. Not grounded on merit in the creature, [ii. 396]. Nor on foresight of faith and good works, [ii. 396–399]. Elements. Though contrary, yet linked together, [i. 52], [53]. End. All creatures conspire to one common end, [i. 53–60]; pursue their several ends, though they know them not, [i. 60–62]. Men have corrupt ends in religious duties, [i. 132], [150–154]; for evil ends, [i. 105], [106]; desire the knowledge of God’s law, for by ends, [i. 104]. Man naturally would make himself his own end, [i. 135–141]; how sinful this is, [i. 141], [142]; would make anything his end rather than God, [i. 142–144]; a creature, or a lust, [i. 144–146]; how sinful this is, [ib].; would make himself the end of all creatures, [i. 147], [149]; how sinful this is, [i. 149]; would make himself the end of God, [i. 148–154]; how sinful this is, [i. 154], [155]; cannot make God his end, till converted, [i. 163], [164]. Spiritual ones required in spiritual worship, [i. 239–241]; many have other ends in it, [ib.] God orders the hearts of all men to his own, [ii. 54]. God hath one, and man another in sin, [i. 161], [162]. We should make God our end, [ii. 206]. God makes himself his own end, how to be understood, [ii. 228–230]. His being the end of all things is one foundation of his dominion, [ii. 370], [371]. Not using God’s gifts for the end for which he gave them, how great a sin, [ii. 435], [436]. Enemies. Of the church (see [Church]). We should be kind to our worst enemies, [ii. 354], [355]. Enjoyment of God. In heaven always fresh and glorious, [i. 298], [299]. We should endeavor after it here, [ii. 344–346]. Envy. Men envy the gifts and prosperities of others, [i. 131], [132].

The thoughts of it should abate our pride, [i. 302–304]; take off our love and confidence from the world, [i. 304–306]. We should provide for a happy interest in it, [i. 306]; often meditate on it, [i. 307], [308]. Renders him worthy of our choicest affections, [i. 308]; and our best service, [i. 308], [309].

Only the obedience flowing from it acceptable to God, [i. 504], [505]. Distinct, but inseparable from obedience, [i. 505], [506]. Foresight of it not the ground of election, [ii. 396–399]. Fall of man. God no way the author of it, [ii. 123–125], [142], [143]. How great it is, [ii. 480], [481]. Doth not impeach God’s goodness, [ii. 231], [232].

Should engage us to endeavor after the enjoyment of him, with motives, [ii. 344–347]. Should be often meditated on, and the advantages of so doing, [ii. 347–351].

God could not manage it without immutability, [i. 394]; and knowledge, [i. 464], [465]; and wisdom, [i. 575], [576]. The wisdom of God appears in his government of man, as rational, [i. 525–532]; as sinful, [i. 532–544]; as restored, [i. 544–547]. The power of God appears in natural government, [ii. 44–52]; moral, [ii. 52–54]; gracious and judicial, [ii. 55–58]. The goodness of God in it, [ii. 295–313].

It hath an excellency above all his other perfections, [ii. 112]. Most loftily and frequently sounded forth by the angels, [ib.] He swears by it, [ib.] It is his glory and life, [ii. 112], [113]. The glory of all the rest, [ii. 113], [114]. What it is, and how distinguished from righteousness, [ii. 114], [115]. His essential and necessary perfection, [ii. 115], [116]. God only absolutely holy, [ii. 116–118]. Causes him to abhor all sin necessarily, intensely, universally, and perpetually, [ii. 118–122]. Inclines him to love it in others, [ii. 121], [190], [191].

Comfortable to holy men, [ii. 190], [191]. Shall be perfected in the upright, [ib.] We should get, and preserve right and strong apprehensions of it, and the advantage of so doing, [ii. 191–196]. We should glorify God for it, and how, [ii. 196–199]; and labor after a conformity to it, and wherein, [ii. 199–201]; motives to do so, [ii. 203–205]; and directions, [ii. 205–207].

A necessary ingredient in spiritual worship, [i. 237], [238]. We should examine ourselves about it after worship, [i. 256]. A consideration of God’s eternity would promote it, [i. 302]; and of his knowledge, [i. 496], [497]; and of his wisdom, [i. 597]; and of his power, [ii. 106]; and of his holiness, [ii. 192], [193]; and of his goodness, [ii. 323]; and his sovereignty, [ii. 457], [458]. Hypocrites. Their false pretences a virtual denial of God’s knowledge, [i. 481], [483]; it is terrible to them, [i. 492].

Idleness. It is an abuse of God’s mercies to make them an occasion of it, [ii. 323]. Idolatry. Of the heathens proves the belief of a God to be universal, [i. 30], [31].

Springs from a want of due notion of God’s infinite power, [ii. 92]. A contempt of God’s dominion, [ii. 436], [437]. Image of God. In man consists not in external form and figure, [i. 192], [192]. Unreasonable to make any of him, [i. 193–195]; it is idolatry so to do, [i. 195], [196]. The defacing it an injury to God’s holiness, [ii. 173], [174]. Man, at first, made after it, [ii. 248]. Imaginations. Men naturally have unworthy ones of God, [i. 155], [156]. Vain ones the cause of idolatry, and superstition, and presumption, [i. 156], [157]; worse than idolatry or atheism, [i. 158]; an injury to God’s holiness, [ii. 172], [173]. Imitation of God. Man naturally hath no desire of it, [i. 161]. We should strive to imitate his immutability in that which is good, [i. 360], [361].

God is immutable in his essence, [i. 319–321]; in knowledge, [i. 321–325]; in his will, though the things willed by him are not, [i. 325–328]. This doth not infringe his liberty, [i. 328]. Immutable in regard of place, [i. 328], [329]. Proved by arguments, [i. 320–334], [582], [583]; [ii. 87]. Incommunicable to any creature, [i. 334], [335], [ii. 141]. Objections against it answered, [i. 337–346]. Ascribed to Christ, [i. 346–348]. A ground and encouragement to worship him, [i. 348–350]. How contrary to God in it man is, [i. 350], [353]. Terrible to sinners, [i. 353], [354]. Comfortable to the righteous, and wherein, [i. 354–356]. An argument for patience, [i. 359]. Should make us prefer God before all creatures, [i. 358]. We should imitate this his immutability in goodness, motives to it, [i. 360], [361]. Impatience of men. Is great when God crosses them, [i. 130], [131]. A contempt of God’s wisdom, [i. 592]; and of his goodness, [ii. 317], [318]; and of his dominion, [ii. 437], [438]. Impenitence. An abuse of God’s goodness, [ii. 319]. It will clear the equity of God’s justice, [ii. 506], [507]. An abuse of patience, [ii. 508], [509]. Imperfections. In holy duties we should be sensible of, [i. 232]. Should make us prize Christ’s meditation, [i. 261]. Impossible. Some things are in their own nature, [ii. 26], [27]. Some things so to the nature and being of God, and his perfections, [ii. 27–29]. Some things so, because of God’s ordination, [ii. 29], [30]. Do not infringe the almightiness of God’s power, [ii. 29–30]. Incarnation of Christ. The power of God seen in it, [ii. 59–65]. Incomprehensible. God is so, [i. 394], [395]. Inconstancy. Natural to man, i. 350–353. In the knowledge of the truth, [i. 350], [351]; in will and affections, [i. 351]; in practice, [i. 352–354]; is the root of much evil, [ib.] Infirmities. The knowledge of God a comfort to his people under them, [i. 488], [489]. The goodness of God in bearing with them, [ii. 309]. His patience a comfort under them, [ii. 516]. Injuries. Men highly concerned for those that are done to themselves, little for those that are done to God, [i. 140]. God’s patience under them should make us resent them, [ii. 517], [518]. Injustice. A contempt of God’s dominion, [ii. 435]. Innocent person. Whether God may inflict eternal torments upon him, [ii. 375], [380], [381]. Instruments. Men are apt to pay a service to them rather than to God, [i. 144]; which is a contempt of divine power, [ii. 94], [95]; and of his goodness, [ii. 324], [325]. Deliverances not to be chiefly ascribed to them, [i. 407]. God makes use of sinful ones, [i. 534], [535]. None in creation, [ii. 40–42].

Men are apt to put bold interpretations on them, [i. 133]. God is just in them, [i. 162], [163]; especially after the abuse of his goodness and patience, [ii. 326], [327], [506], [507]. On God’s enemies, matter of praise, [ii. 110]. Declare God’s holiness, [ii. 132–135]; which should be observed in them, [ii. 197]. Not sent without warning, [ii. 241], [242], [488–491].

The holiness of God appears in that of the gospel, [ii. 138]. The expectations of it by the outward observance of the law cannot satisfy an inquisitive conscience, [ii. 212].

Of all future things, he alone, and how, [i. 429–439]. Of all future contingencies, [i. 439–446]. Doth not necessitate the will of man, [i. 446–451]. It is by his essence, [i. 452], [453].

Admit it with wavering affections, [ib.] Seek it, to improve some lust by it, [i. 105], [106]. A sense of man’s, hath a greater influence on us than that of God, [i. 144], [145], [479], [480].

Law of God. How opposite man naturally is to it (see [Man]). There is one in the minds of men, which is the rule of good and evil, [i. 69], [70]. A change of them doth not infer a change in God, [i. 346]. Vindicated, both as to the precept and penalty, in the death of Christ, [i. 565–567].

Could not exist without restraining grace (see [Restraint]). Soul. The vastness of its capacity, and quickness of its motion, [i. 67], [68]. Its union to the body wonderful, [i. 69]. God only can satisfy it (see [Satisfaction]). They only can converse with God, [i. 202]. Should be the objects of our chiefest care, [i. 203]. We should worship God with them, [i. 209–211]. The wisdom and goodness of God seen in them, [ii. 49], [247], [248]. Spaces. Imaginary beyond the world, God is present with, [i. 375–377]. Spirit, that God is so. Plainly asserted but once in scripture, [i. 180]. Various acceptations of the word, [i. 181], [182]. That God is so, how to be understood, [ib.] God the only pure one, [i. 182], [183].

Temptations. The presence of God a comfort in them, [i. 399]; the thoughts of it would be a shield against them, [i. 403]. The wisdom and power of God a comfort under them, [i. 594]; [ii. 99]. The goodness manifested to his people under them, [ii. 311–313]. The would arm and make us watchful against them, [ii. 456]. Thankfulness. A necessary ingredient in spiritual worship, [i. 233], [234]. Due to God, [ii. 351], [352], [460], [518–522]; a sense of his goodness would promote it, [i. 351]. Theft.

Not to be preferred before God, [i. 358], [359]. Made in the best manner, [ii. 24], [25]. Made and richly furnished for man, [ii. 249–251]. A sense of God’s goodness would lift us up above it, [ii. 351]. Worship of God. A folly to neglect it, [i. 87], [88]. If not according to his rule, no better than a worshipping the devil, [i. 118], [119]. Men prone to corrupt it with their own rites and inventions, [i. 133], [134]. Spiritual, men naturally have no heart to, [i. 160]. Cannot be right without a true notion of God, [i. 198]. Should be spiritual, and spiritually performed, [i. 205], [206]. God’s spirituality the rule, though his attributes be the foundation of it, [i. 206–208]; [ii. 88–90]. Spiritual, to be due to him, manifest by the light of nature, though not the outward means and matter of an acceptable worship discoverable by it, [i. 208–211].

To a false God, or in a false manner, better than a total neglect of it, [i. 250], [251]. Outward, not to be rested in, [i. 251], [252]. We should examine ourselves of the manner of it, and in what particulars, [i. 252–256]. Spiritual, it is a comfort that God requires it, [i. 256]. Not to give it to God, is to affront all his attributes, [i. 263–271], [481]. To give it him, and not that of our spirits, is a bad sign, [i. 268], [269]. Merely carnal, uncomfortable, unacceptable, abominable, [i. 269–271]. Directions for spiritual, [i. 271–275]. Immutability of God, a ground of worship, and encouragement to it, [i. 348–350]. Bringing human inventions into it an affront to God’s wisdom, [i. 587–589]. See [Ceremonies]. A strong sense of God’s holiness would make us reverent in it, [ii. 194]. We should carry it holily in it, [ii. 207]. Ingenuous, would be promoted by a sense of God’s goodness, [ii. 348]. Slight and careless, a contempt of God’s sovereignty, [ii. 440], [441]; and so is omission of it, [ii. 441]. Thoughts of God’s sovereignty would make us diligent in it, [ii. 455], [456]. Worship of creatures. Is idolatry, [i. 194–196]. Not countenanced by God’s omnipresence, [i. 390], [391]. Wrong. God can do none, [i. 171]; [ii. 442], [443].
