HYPOCRITE―wanting in a cautious spirit and dread of being deceived; has not the knowledge of his
own blindness and the deceitfulness of his own heart; devil does not assault his hope; has not a
sight of his own corruptions and hence does not doubt III. 51-two sorts of, one that are deceived
by their outward morality and external religion; the other with false discoveries and elevations,
called the legal and evangelical, the latter more liable to deceive themselves with a false hope
52-difference between his joy and that of the true saint 98-they keep an eye on themselves;
much affected with impressions on their imaginations; great talkers about themselves 99; talk
of the discovery rather than the thing discovered, &c.; their other affections all from self-love
100-fail grossly in true humiliation 140-differs from the true Christian in being blind to his pride
and quick-sighted to the shows of humility; also discerns more of others' pride than his own; hence
put forth their counterfeit humility 152-their affections wanting in symmetry, &c. 171, 172, not
only as to the various kinds but in the same with regard to different objects; love to some but not
so extensive as Christian love 173; so too in their seeming exercises of love to the same persons;
are affected with the bad qualities of others but not with their own defects in proportion; sure
sign of false if they pretend to come to high attainments but have never arrived at less 174; the
same of zeal as of love; so too as to different times 175-religious only by fits and starts 176-
also different in different places 177-profess to seek God, press forward, &c.; but they long for
discoveries, &c. more for the present comfort of it and the high manifestation of God's love in it
than for any sanctifying influence of it 181-entirely deficient in Christian practice another sign
of gracious affections 191-proof from Scripture 191, 192-his deficiency in the duty of prayer;
often continue for a season in; after having received common illuminations and affections IV.
474; after obtaining a hope, and why; they leave off the practice of the duty 475; meaning of this;
reasons why they do thus 476; never had the spirit of prayer, &c.; his wants supplied in his false
conversion 476, 477; his hope takes off the force of God's command from his conscience; returns
to sinful practices 478; never counted the cost of perseverance to the end of life in seeking God;
have no interest in God's gracious promises 479.

IMPRESSIONS, made on the imagination or imaginary ideas of God and Christ, &c. have nothing in them
that is spiritual or of the nature of true grace; explained III. 74; their manner of origin, &c.
77, 78.
IMPULSES-persons that follow them suppose that they follow God's word because the impression is
made with a text, &c.; mistake, &c. III. 366; manner in which such expose themselves to be led
away by the devil 369, 370.

IMPUTATION of Adam's first sin-the liableness or exposedness of Adam's posterity, in the judgment,
to partake of the punishment of that sin II. 309-doctrine stated 481-objections against its rea-
sonableness considered 483-493-view of partial considered 494, 495.

Imputation-of Christ's righteousness, its meaning; that the righteousness of Christ is accepted for
us, instead of that inherent righteousness, that ought to be in ourselves; applied to the doctrine
of justification by faith IV. 91-the opposers of the doctrine pronounce it absurd; answered;
proof of the doctrine 92-101; inconsistent with the doctrine of our being justified by our own
virtue or sincere obedience 101.

IMPUTE, reckoned, &c.-how used in the Scriptures II. 501. IV. 92.

INABILITY-meaning of II. 12-extensive sense of in some writers 13-natural and moral, distinguished
15-in common use, relates to will, supposable and insufficient to bring to pass 16, 17-moral that
attends fixed habits, so called 17-arguments against inability of the unregenerate on account of
necessity of moral actions, vain and inconsistent 81-that inability only excuses which consists
in want of connection between those exercises of the mind required as effects of the will and the
will 104.

Inability, Moral-meaning of, opposition or want of inclination II. 15, 101; instances given; general
and habitual or particular and occasional 16, 102-moral inability that attends fixed habits called
inability 17-very diverse from original import of inability; implied in the will's opposition, &c.
100-as real as any inability can be; degrees of inability; illustration 102-not properly called
inability-cannot excuse for disobedience 103-a degree of inability in the case of every fixed bias

point stated 35, 36-of the will, is the mind's choosing, without choosing; case of two eggs
exactly alike, &c.-question respecting the mind's, not kept distinctly in view 38; external ac-
tions, as touch, &c. may not be indifferent; distinction between general and particular indifference
39-as essential to liberty of the will, examined; a distinction claimed between indifference of
the soul as to its power and ability of willing and the soul's indifference as to preference or choice;
refuted; must be perfect and absolute; proved and illustrated by gravitation and self-moving
power 40, 41; absurd 41, and inconsistent 42, 44, 45; the act of the will in a state of indifference
to put itself out of indifference, or to suspend acting and take the matter into consideration the

only virtuous act on Arminian principles 110; all that is done afterwards worthy of neither blame
nor praise 111.
INFANTS-death of, strange if death is designed only as a benefit, &c. II. 375-not sinless proved by
their death 375-meant by those who have not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgres-
sion (Rom. 5: 14) 456-458-view that they are liable to temporal death or annihilation, or to a
future state not worse than non-existence, from imputation of Adam's sin, considered 494, 495.
INFERIOR PRINCIPLES-in man in innocence called natural; if left to themselves called flesh II. 476.

tion between the sexes; to pity 293-this may consist with malevolence 294.

INTEREST-unfits one to be an arbiter, no otherwise than being interested tends to blind and mislead or
incline him to act contrary to his judgment; applied to the case of God and last end II. 205–
private may be inconsistent with the public good; God's cannot 215.
IRRESISTIBLE-meaning of II. 9, 10, 15, 128, 178.

JEWS-true religion first received from them of the Gentiles, &c. III. 314.

JONES, Mr.-quotation from III. 158.

JOSEPH-his great temptation and deliverance considered; things worthy to be noted in the circum-
stances, &c. IV. 585.

JUDGE-God the supreme, of the world by right III. 203; in fact; he acts so toward men at death 204.
JUDGMENT, Christian-meaning of 1. 91-founded on some positive appearance of visibility, &c. which
renders the thing probable; one in which men exercise reason 92-nothing but appearing reason,
the ground of a rational one 97.

Judgment-end and design of the, what II. 499-will manifest the state each man is in with respect
to the grand distinction of mankind into the righteous and wicked; also degree wherein the
righteous or the wicked differ from each other in the same general state 500.

Judgment of the soul at death, how understood IV. 205-doctrine of a general, not sufficiently dis-
coverable by the light of nature; one of the peculiar doctrines of revelation; entirely agreeable
to reason; the light of nature teaches that all mankind shall be judged of God; reasons of a pub
lic judgment 205-207-the account of considered in various particulars 210-216; how in righteous-
ness; the things that follow 217; the uses of the doctrine, for instruction, show the reasons of
God's providence in the world, &c. 219; applied to various characters of men 222-224; improve-
ment to be made of the subject 224, 225.

JUSTICE-God's vindictive, not to be considered as an ultimate but as a means to that end II. 542—
of God in the damnation of sinners; shown from man's sinfulness and God's sovereignty IV. 227
-also shown in the fact that they bring forth no fruit to God 307.

JUSTIFICATION-conditions of, repentance and faith II. 628-perseverance, in what sense a con-
dition of III. 510-in the act of, God has respect to perseverance as being virtually in the first
acts of faith; perseverance necessary to the congruity of 516-benefits consequent on, peace
with God, present happiness and hope of glory IV. 36-respects a man as ungodly 64-by faith
alone 65; its meaning; what it is; a person is justified, when approved of God as free from the
guilt of sin and deserved punishment, and having that righteousness belonging to him that entitles
to the reward of life 66-how is it by faith-difficulty as to the import and force of BY 67; it is
not the inseparable condition with justification that the Holy Ghost would signify or that is natu
rally signified, but some particular influence that faith has in the affair, or some certain depen-
dence, that that effect has on its influence 68-meaning is, that faith is that by which we are ren-
dered approvable, fitly so, and indeed, as the case stands, proper subjects of this benefit-how
is it by faith alone, without any manner of virtue or goodness of our own; by the latter is meant
that it is not out of respect to the excellency or goodness of any qualifications or acts in us what-
soever that God judges it meet this benefit of Christ should be ours, but purely from the relation
faith has as it unites to the Mediator 69-faith the only condition of, as peculiar, because faith
includes the whole act of unition to Christ as a Saviour 73--the doctrine proved 73-from reason
and the nature of things 73-78; from the Scripture 79-89; some assert that the Apostle Paul
when he excludes the works of the law, means the ceremonial law; also that it is by faith in the
act only that they are admitted, and by obedience they are continued in a justified state 78-some
that by the law is meant the Mosaic dispensation; considered 88-also that to suppose we are justified
by our own sincere obedience derogates from gospel grace 89-91; and derogates from the honor
of the Mediator; puts man in Christ's stead; makes him his own saviour 91-the term a foren-
sic one 94-how Christ's obedience avails 92-101-what is the relation to it of the Christian's
evangelical obedience 102; merely as expression of faith 103-congruity of dependence on per-
severance, and manifestation of, in the conscience arises more from after acts than the first act of
faith 106-by faith alone lays the foundation of first acceptance with God and all actual salva-
tion consequent upon it wholly in Christ and his righteousness, and thus vastly different from the
scheme of those who oppose it 114--twofold: either the approbation and acceptance of the judge, or
the manifestation of it by sentence of the judge 125; the Apostle James uses justify in the sense of
the latter kind 126-the importance of the doctrine of, proved from Scripture 128; because the
adverse scheme lays another foundation of man's salvation than God hath laid; that in it lies the
most essential difference between the covenant of grace and the first covenant 129; is the main
thing that fallen men stand in need of divine revelation for; the contrary scheme derogates from
the honor of God and the Mediator 130, and leads men to trust in their own righteousness which
is fatal to the soul 131.

KINGDOM, of Heaven or God-meaning of I. 427.

KIRCHMEYER, J. C.-concerning fundamental articles, quotation from III. 545.

KNOWLEDGE--of the being of God, how derived (Rom. i. 20) II. 27-no certainty of knowledge
without necessity 78-God's immutability of, proves the necessity of known events 80-divine,
one part of that fulness which he communicates to his creatures 209-the object of it God's
perfections or glory 210-of God and a sense of his love, that in which the happiness of the
creature consists 517-increase of, in a saint, how does it make his love appear less in comparison
to what is known III. 145-true spiritual, the more one has of it, the more sensible of his own
ignorance 149-of Christ, an evidence of being blessed; in case of Peter, above what flesh and
blood can reveal IV. 438-a twofold, of good that God has made the mind of man capable of,
speculative, and in the heart 442-no degree of speculative, of the things of religion any
sign of saving grace 454-the devil has great speculative, of many divine things IV. 463-sense
of God's majesty, of his attributes, natural and moral 464.

LANGUAGE, deficient in terms to express operations of the mind II. 143.

LAW-it was needful that it should be obeyed by that nature to which it was given I. 396-
God's revealed, and the law of nature agree II. 225-of God, the rule of right, also the mea-
sure of virtue and sin 329-by it the apostle intends the moral law when speaking of justification
by the works of the law III. 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89.

LAY EXHORTING-in what respects should it be restrained III. 400.

LAYMEN exhorting by, not unlawful or improper; distinction between such and the teaching &c. of
ministers; not with like authority III. 397; may be invaded either in matter or manner; what
is it to set up for a public teacher? 398; the rule does not extend to heads of families in their
own families 399.

LEARNIN-Ghuman, not to be despised I. 559.

LETTER-to a minister of the Church of Scotland II. 183.

LIBERTY-meaning of, in common speech II. 17, 18, 175-cannot be ascribed to any being or thing
but that has faculty, power or property called will 18-as belonging to the will itself, not good
sense 18-Arminian notion of, that the free acts of the will are contingent, uncaused 25-con-
sists in doing what we will 33-of the will as consisting in indifference; examined and refuted
40, 41; absurd and inconsistent 42, 43; evasion considered 43; another evasion 44-as consisting
in a power to suspend the act of the will and keep in indifference till an opportunity for con-
sideration; examined 44; contradictory 44, 45-Mr. Chubb's scheme exposed 53, 54-61-of self-
determining power of the will void of all necessity, impossible even to be consistent with the
influence of motives in volition 61-Arminian notion of, inconsistent with God; foreknowledge
of the volition of moral agents 80-525-utrumlibet, said by some to be necessary to a state of
trial 91, 92-according to the Arminian view of, men cannot be subjects of command or govern-
ment 108 of indifference implies that any good action must be performed with a heart indiffer-
ent 110; destroys the different degrees of vice and crime 111-if invincible motives destroy it,
then in the same proportion different degrees of strength of motive hinder it, and the more
forcible motives are, so much the less virtue &c. 116.

LIFE-the true Christian's, a journey towards heaven IV. 573.

LIGHT-used in the Scriptures, to represent knowledge, holiness and happiness II. 255-there is
such a thing as spiritual and divine immediately imparted to the soul by God of a different
nature from any that is obtained by natural means; what it is not; not those convictions natural
men have of their sin and misery; a clear apprehension of things spiritual so called III. 75-
difference between that which is given by the common influences of the Spirit of God and that
saving instruction which is given to the saints 115, IV. 439-in the work of the Holy Ghost
those things are wrought in the soul that are above nature; the Spirit of God acts in a different
manner in the one case from what it does in the other; it does not consist in any impression on
the imagination 440; not the suggesting of any new truths or propositions not contained in the
word of God; not every affecting view men have of the things of religion; but it is, a true
sense of the excellency of the things revealed in the word of God and a conviction of the truth
and reality of them thence arising 441-the conviction arises, by removal of prejudices; by the
help of reason 442-this light, how immediately given by God and not obtained by natural
means; not that the natural faculties are not made use of in it 443-or that outward means
have no concern in the affair; but that it is given by God without making use of any means that
operate by their own power of natural force 444-truth of the doctrine proved scriptural 444,
445-rational 446-448-reason to influence to seek this light or knowledge 449.
LITERISTS and Vowelists-men so called who adhered to the Scripture I. 537.

LOCKE, Mr.-quotation from III.541.

LOCKE'S, Mr.-definition of the will II. 1-examined 2-defect of observation cause of incorrectness 3
-remark on the will's determining itself, the source of errors 20-assertion that men have suffi-
cient capacity to come to a knowledge of the true God, quoted 335-his views of men disregard-
ing their eternal welfare, quoted 337.

LORD-meaning of this compellation applied to Christ in the New Testament I. 124.

LOVE-God's, or benevolence, as it respects the creature may be taken in a larger or a stricter sense;
what these senses are II. 208-of himself and of the public not to be distinguished in God as in
man, and why; nor can the love of what is fit and decent or the love of virtue be a distinct thing
from the love of himself 217-virtue essentially consists in 262-distinction between love of bene-
volence and love of complacence, defined 263-evidence of to a created being; the agreeable-
ness of the kind and degree of our love to God's end in our creation &c., and the coincidence of
the exercises of our love in their manner, order and measure, with the manner in which God
himself exercises love to the creature &c. 270-to God, the sum of our duty 300-disinterested
to God, but little of it in the world 333-to God not from self-love III. 92-foundation of true
love to God, the supreme loveliness of his nature 93-a kind of may arise from false notions of
God 94-from the opinion of the favor and love of God to them 95-God's to the elect the ground
of their love to him and how 97-true, to God must begin with a delight in his holiness 103-
to God, in the eminent saint is very little in comparison to what it ought to be, why? 146.

MAN-by nature inactive other than as inflamed by some affection III. 6-great part of his principal
business should be to improve his understanding by acquiring knowledge IV. 6.

MANKIND special end for which God made them superior to the ends of the inferior creation I. 570;
not any other parts of the visible creation; they must be fitted to that end proved 571.
Mankind are in such a state as is attended without fail with this consequence, that they universally
run themselves into that which is in effect their own utter, eternal perdition; proved from Scrip-
ture, by showing, that all mankind come into the world in such a state as without fail comes to
this issue, or that every one who comes to act in the world as a moral agent is in a greater or less
degree guilty of sin II. 313, 314, 315-the Scriptures represent all mankind as having immense
guilt 325-prone to sin 326-conduct of, with respect to their eternal interests contrary to that
common prudence they use in their temporal affairs 338, 339, 340-history of, through different
periods proves them to be wicked and depraved by nature 345-347-wickedness, agreeable to the
nature of, in its present state, proved from experience 347-state of, that it should be so wicked,
strange, if men are in their nature innocent, harmless, undepraved and perfectly free from all evil pro-
pensities; proof is still stronger of the state of corruption if the various means used to restrain
are considered 348-358-general continued wickedness of, proves that the cause is fixed, internal
in man's nature, and very powerful, from the fact that the effect is so abiding, through so many
changes; because the circumstances are so various, and the means overcome have been so great
363-corruption of cannot be owing merely to bad example; for this accounts for a thing by itself;
and the history of the world shows the children of pious parents degenerating, &c. 365, 368; the
world also has had an example of virtue in Jesus Christ, which but for depravity of nature would have
influence on them who live under the Gospel 367-general prevalence of wickedness of, cannot be ac-
counted for by saying that our senses grow up first and the animal passions get the start of reason;
for it is able to the same objections against God's ordering, &c., as that men are brought into
being without a prevailing propensity to sin 368, 369, 370; nor because a state of trial makes it fit
that virtue should have opposition and temptation to overcome, not only from without but also
from within 370-sinfulness of, when they come into the world, proved from the universal reign of
death 372.

are the connected antecedents of them II. 137-can have effect either through natural tendency of
influence to prepare or dispose the mind, or putting persons in the way of the bestowment of the
benefit, and neither on the Arminian scheme 138-the use of so various, great and continual ones,
to restrain men and promote virtue and religion and yet insufficient, proves the native corrup
tion of mankind 348-viewed with reference to different periods of the world from Adam to presei
time 349-360.

MEMORIAL Sent from Scotland to America proposing method of union in prayer III. 434,
MEN-may be given over of God to sin II. 95-cannot be excused from obedience except for some de
fect or obstacle not in the will itself but extrinsic to it 104-cannot sincerely desire and choose
those spiritual duties of love, &c. consisting in the exercise of the will itself, and yet not be able
to perform them 105-not mere machines 140-naturally God's enemies IV. 36-proved, and in
what respect they are 37-42; in their judgments; in the natural relish of their souls 37, 38; in
their wills; their affections 39; also how great is their enmity; without any love; every faculty
under its dominion; insuperable by finite power 40; greater than to any other being 42; sinful
are entirely corrupt 230.

have ordered such a meeting 70; application of the discourse 71-to act as public officers and not
for themselves in admitting to the church 92-the watchmen of men's souls, not of their bodies, to be
divines, not physicians 281-true excellency of III. 580-Christ's design in their appointment that
they might be lights to the souls of men 583; meaning of this 585; what is their being shining
lights? 586; their excellency consists in being such, shown 587; application of the doctrine 589
-how they may be burning and shining lights 591-should follow the example of Christ; in emi-
nent holiness of life; in the manner in which they seek the salvation of souls 595; fervent prayers
596; diligence; readiness; gentleness 597; reasons why they should do so, he is their Lord, &c.;

MORAL AGENTS-future actions of foretold by God II. 62, 63-65—made-

the

he sake of some moral good in them 223, 224-created, to be active in answering their end,
God's name's sake 238-they are good, whose temper of mind or propensity of heart is agreeable

AL EVIL-meaning of III. 121.

AL EXCELLENCE of God consists in the disposition of his heart II. 201-of divine things what

AL GOOD-its meaning, distinction between it and natural good III. 101.

AL GOVERNMENT, God's, proved I. 565; God must care how things proceed among men
566; evident from the necessity of order in families, &c. 567; without it, the preservation of the
species but imperfectly provided for; he has a right to exercise his power of Moral Governor
568; man capable of being under it, &c. 569; capable also of opposing God's desires; special
end of the being of mankind something he has to do with his Creator 570-we infer from it, a
future state; a divine revelation and why? 572-574.

a moral nature are signified; how then can virtue and vice be any other than arbitrary? an-

TIVE-strongest and weaker, what strength of II. 4-indissoluble connection of with act of will
and difficulty of going against 14, 16-there must be one to excite every act of the will 52, 118-
cause of the act of the will; whatever is done by influence of motives is the effect of them; mo-
tives operate by biassing the will and giving inclination or preponderance one way 53-strength of
motives to choice, diverse previous to choice 56; mind acts without motive, if it prefers that which
appears inferior in comparison 57-cause of an act of the will 60-insufficiency of motive will
not excuse men, unless the insufficiency arises not from the moral state of the will, but from the
state of the understanding 104-can have no influence in moral actions on the Arminian scheme

YSTERIES OF SCRIPTURE-truths now involved in mystery and darkness will hereafter be clear in the
bright light of heaven 1II. 537-the symbol of Pythagoras expressed the view of the heathen as
to them 538-many things of fact and experience if they had been exhibited only in a revelation
of things in an unseen state would be considered such; nothing impossible or absurd in the incar-
nation of Christ; those who deny the Trinity hold mysteries in respect to the Deity harder to be
explained 539; to reject every thing, but what we can first see to be agreeable to our reason
tends to bring every thing relating not only to revealed but to natural religion into doubt 540;
one method to explode any difficulty in religion is to ridicule all distinctions in religion 541; for
any thing to be revealed and yet mysterious not a contradiction and why 542-meaning of the
term-constitate the interior of divine revelation 544.

AME-God's, his end or the object of his regard; proved from the Scriptures-end of his acts of

NATURE OF THINGS, shows the people of Christ should openly profess proper respect to him in their
hearts as well as a true notion of him in their heads I. 119.

NATURE often used as opposed to choice II. 14; origin of this 15-particular, of existence, however
diverse from others, can lay no foundation for a thing's coming into existence without a cause
29-of disposition or volition, that in which virtuousness or viciousness consists, not in their cause
or origin 119-prior to all acts of will 134-law of, and the revealed law of God agree 224-God
has so constituted it that the presenting of the inferior beauty (secondary) especially in those
kinds that have the greatest resemblance of the primary (spiritual) beauty, have a tendency to
assist virtuous hearts 273-foundation laid in, for kind affections between the sexes, truly diverse
from all inclinations to sensitive pleasure and do not properly arise from such an inclination 293
-man's denied by some to be that in which lies the tendency of men to fail of obedience and to
sin, and incur demerit of eternal ruin, but that this tendency lies in the constitution and frame of
the world into which they are born; their views considered and exposed 320, 321, 322-of man
depraved and ruined; the question whether it is so or not, is not if he is inclined to perform as
many good deeds as bad ones, but which of the two preponderates in the frame of his heart and
state of his nature; a state of innocence and righteousness and favor with God; or a state of sin,
guiltiness, and abhorrence in the sight of God 322-of man in his present state tends to sin, &c.
329-evil of man's nature not accounted for by his free will 364-nothing in, to make it impossible
that the superior principle of man's should be so proportioned to the inferior as to prevent the
moral and natural ruin of mankind 370-human must be created with some dispositions; and if
with concreated dispositions they must be either right or wrong 387-depravity of, how accounted
for by the absence of positive good principles, withholding divine influence and leaving common
natural principles, which were in man in innocence, to themselves, &c. 476-meaning of, an
established method and order of events settled and limited by divine wisdom 479-no change of
