| A26946 | And do not all agree in this? |
| A26946 | And they that ask, Whether Reason, and Religion be contray? |
| A26946 | These things premised, the Question is not whether Socinians, Papists, Antinomians, Quakers,& c. differ from us? |

| A26943 | Why doth he write so much for it, and can not suffer a few Lines in Manuscript to pass without a publick Confutation? |
| A26943 | doth Mr. Baxter say and unsay, or is his Conscience against communicating with the parish Churches, and his Practice for it? |

| A26920 | Tell me if you can, why the same arguing is not as strong against long Conference, or long Preaching? |
| A26920 | What if I had given you a scheme of the admirably accurate Method of Prayer, which is found in the Lords Prayer? |

| A27034 | Christ telleth us that a wise man will consider whether he can go through with it, before he build or make war? |

| A27034 | God gave not all the gift of Miracles that were employed in his work even in the Apostles daies: Are all workers of Miracles? |
| A27034 | How common? |
| A27034 | If you know not who they be or where, then how know you that there are any such? |
| A27034 | It seems the rest were not bound to be Christians? |
| A27034 | It tends to make men mad and as Ideots, that must know and believe no more then they see: what ▪ kind of folks must these be? |

| A76168 | 4 verse, who hath hardned himself against him and hath prospered? |
| A76168 | And now what is your resolution, perhaps you have been Enemie to Christ under the name of Christians, will you be so still? |
| A76168 | Lord what wouldst thou have me to do? |
| A76168 | Sinner I beseech thee in behalf of thy poor Soul not to renounce thy Saviour, till thou hast found a better Master, say as Peter, whither shall we go? |
| A76168 | What would you now give to know for certain how it will then go with you? |
| A76168 | Why no priviledge or power in the word can save them that doth not kiss the Son? |
| A76181 | For who should strengthen the Peoples hearts and defend the Cause of the LORD against them, if such a Ministry were down? |
| A26854 | And because, Sir, it is possible you may be asked, Who it is that thus boldly makes a Challenge unto one of our Learned Prelates? |
| A26854 | And is it any wonder that those that are such Enemies to Kings, should not be friends to Bishops? |
| A26854 | And therefore as God asked Adam and Eve, How, came you to know that you are naked? |
| A26854 | But indeed is there in these words of ours so great a crime? |
| A26854 | But what need I use any other Instances then that which was the matter of our dispute? |
| A26854 | Did you or can you examine so many hundred years practise of the Church as Mr. Baxter speaks of? |
| A26854 | Did you or can you your selves read those General Councels? |
| A26854 | I mean the Government of the Church by Bishops in the sense wherein it is asserted and practised in one Church? |
| A26854 | Is there more then he said before, or is it any defence of his Assertion at all? |
| A26854 | Is this opinion inconsistent with all Government? |
| A26854 | Or why did he perswade Subjects to take up Arms against their Soveraign? |
| A26854 | Should I not have been judged unmeet to live in any Governed society? |
| A26854 | What answer can they make to these demands, but that which Eve made unto God? |
| A26854 | What then was he that deposed them? |
| A26854 | if he do, why did he so furiously oppose that which all General Councels approve of and confirm? |
| A26854 | if he would have them believe so, I demand again, whether he doth believe it himself or no? |
| A26854 | nay, that judgest thy Mother, when thou doest the same, or worse, thing, then those are for which thou condemnest her? |
| A26953 | 1. Who are you that dare dispute against God? |
| A26953 | 4. Who is it( then) that with you goes for a Believer, or a Christian? |
| A26953 | And how weak in Faith are the most of true Believers? |
| A26953 | And that as verily as I ever see a man? |
| A26953 | But why would not God let us have the SIGHT of Heaven and Hell; being that would have prevailed for our Conversion more generally and more certainly? |
| A26953 | Do you count Faith an Infallible sort of Knowledge then? |
| A26953 | Does it not concern every man, then, to make sure of this Faith? |
| A26953 | How plain is the reason, that Believers are seriously holy, just, and charitable? |
| A26953 | How plain is the reason, that Vnbelievers are careless of their hearts and ways; and mock at Believers care, and take them for fools and mad men? |
| A26953 | If Faith be the Eye by which I do see, whereby should I quicken my self to live by it? |
| A26953 | If I had seen Lazarus in Abraham''s Bosom? |
| A26953 | If the Reward and Punishment were seen, what should difference wise men and fools good men and bad? |
| A26953 | In worldly matters, men can go to much cost and pains for things they never saw; why not in spiritual matters? |
| A26953 | O how rare a Jewel is true Faith? |
| A26953 | O should I then ever chuse to be ungodly, or be patient of so being? |
| A26953 | Or for too much and plain Preaching? |
| A26953 | Or had a Messenger from God to tell me, I must die to morrow? |
| A26953 | Or if it be not, wherewithal should I stir up my self to seek Faith and the Life of Faith? |
| A26953 | Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, why hast thou made me thus? |
| A26953 | Should I ever be drawn away by Temptations again as I have been? |
| A26953 | Should I ever be offended with a Minister again, for plainest Reproof, and closest Exhortation? |
| A26953 | Should I ever be quiet under uncertainty of my Reconciliation unto God? |
| A26953 | Should I ever stick at sufferings when God calls for them from me? |
| A26953 | Should I not give over my greedy pursuit of worldly Wealth and Credit? |
| A26953 | Should I not hear at another rate than ever yet I heard a Sermon? |
| A26953 | Should I not highly value Christ, his Spirit, his Grace, his Promises, his Word, his Ordinances? |
| A26953 | Should I not plead for the most serious Godliness? |
| A26953 | Should I not say in my heart, that the most gainful sin is worse than madness? |
| A26953 | Should I not then be all for Peace, Quietness and Love, with all that love the Lord Jesus Christ, and are seeking invisible things? |
| A26953 | Should a man understand no more than he sees? |
| A26953 | WHat means the Apostle by these words? |
| A26953 | Well, how shall I know whether I have this true Faith and saving, tho''in the least and lowest degree of it? |
| A26953 | What should I be if I had seen the things that God hath done already in time past? |
| A26953 | What should I be if I heard Satan accusing me for all my sins unto God, and calling for justice against me? |
| A26953 | What should I be if I saw the great and dreadful day of Judgment as Christ doth describe it? |
| A26953 | What should I be, if I had seen and did now see the Damned in their miseries? |
| A26953 | What should I be, if I saw the Lord continually before me? |
| A26953 | What should I be, if I saw the face of Death, and were under the power of a mortal sickness, and were given over by all Physicians and Friends? |
| A26953 | What should I be, if I saw the glory of Heaven above? |
| A26953 | Why so? |
| A23663 | 1. he saith, What shall we say then? |
| A23663 | 27. saying, where is boasting then? |
| A23663 | 6. said to be better Promises? |
| A23663 | And God was in Christ reconciling the World to himself, and how? |
| A23663 | And how did they so? |
| A23663 | And in doing so, what more stress doth he lay upon Duty in this kind, than they that trust to be justified and saved upon their believing? |
| A23663 | And in doing so, what more stress doth he lay upon Duty in this kind, than they that trust to be justified and saved upon their believing? |
| A23663 | And what Nation is there so great, that hath Statutes and Iudgments so righteous, as all this Law which I set before you this day? |
| A23663 | And what are they adopted to, but to an Inheritance for the future? |
| A23663 | And why would not all this bring them to Heaven? |
| A23663 | And yet how weak a motive is this in comparison of what comes from God, to reduce men to their love and loyalty to him? |
| A23663 | But is any man so senseless as to think that Christ made them to see, to hear, and to speak, while they remained blind, deaf, and dumb? |
| A23663 | By what Law? |
| A23663 | David dealing so with Saul, though a bitter enemy, melted him into tears, and made him cry, Is this thy voice, my son David? |
| A23663 | Do we make void the Law through Faith? |
| A23663 | For what Nation is there so great, that hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon him for? |
| A23663 | He that believeth What? |
| A23663 | How can ye believe( saith our Saviour) which seek honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? |
| A23663 | How was it then reckoned? |
| A23663 | Is he the God of the Iews only? |
| A23663 | Is the Law then against the Promises? |
| A23663 | Just like some Iews of old, who though they were very bad in their lives, yet leaned upon the Lord, and said, is not the Lord among us? |
| A23663 | Make you a new Heart, and a new Spirit, for why will ye dye, O house of Israel? |
| A23663 | Of Works? |
| A23663 | Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? |
| A23663 | Our Saviour saith, Many will say unto me in that day, Lord, Lord, open unto us: Have we not prophesied in thy Name? |
| A23663 | That is, he can not enjoy it, and why? |
| A23663 | Was not Abraham our Father justified by Works when he had offered Isaac his Son upon the Altar? |
| A23663 | What doth it profit my brethren( saith he) though a man say he hath Faith, and have not Works? |
| A23663 | Wherefore then serveth the Law? |
| A23663 | Why doth this Faith remain alone in some, when as it is accompanied with Works in others? |
| A23663 | as some it seems were ready to infer; God forbid, saith he; how shall we that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? |
| A23663 | can Faith save him? |
| A23663 | for by Adoption they are made Heirs: If a Son, then an Heir of God through Christ: an Heir of what? |
| A23663 | is he not also of the Gentiles? |
| A23663 | none evil can come upon us? |
| A23663 | shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? |
| A23663 | when he was in Circumcision, or in Vncircumcision? |
| A26983 | After all this shall wée again forsake thée, and deal falsly in thy Covenant? |
| A26983 | And hast thou indéed forgiven us so great a debt, by so precious a Ransome? |
| A26983 | And if you may mistake in any thing, may it not be in as great things as these? |
| A26983 | And shall wée not love thée, that hast thus loved us? |
| A26983 | And wee crave leave to ask whether you do not your selves in some things mistake, or may not do so for ought you know? |
| A26983 | Can your heart endure, or your hands bee strong in the day when God shall deal with you? |
| A26983 | Do you beleeve in God the Father Almighty,& c? |
| A26983 | Do you remain stedfast in the Covenant, which you made in Baptism your self? |
| A26983 | For if when wee were Enemies wee were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more being Reconciled, wee shall bee saved by his life? |
| A26983 | He forgiveth our Iniquities, and will remember our sins no more; who shall lay any thing to Charge of Gods elect? |
| A26983 | Hee that spared not his own Son, but gave him up for us All, how shall hee not with him also freely give us all things? |
| A26983 | How glad would you make the peoples hearts? |
| A26983 | How good and how happy a thing would it bee for Brethren to dwell together in unity? |
| A26983 | If any man bee in Christ, hee is a new Creature, old things are passed away, behold all things are become new? |
| A26983 | If men cut off the lives of those that break their laws, will God bee out- faced by the pride, and stubborness of sinners? |
| A26983 | If you say, Rulers imposition maketh indifferent things cease to be indifferent? |
| A26983 | If you will needs use such things your selves, will it gain you so much to force them upon others, as will answer all the foresaid Inconveniences? |
| A26983 | Is it not for matter and phrase at least as agreeable to the holy Scriptures? |
| A26983 | It is God that Justifieth, who is hee that Condemneth? |
| A26983 | O how should wee bee covered with shame, and loath our selves, that have both procured the death of Christ by sin, and sinned against it? |
| A26983 | O save him from the Gall of Bitterness, and from the Bonds of his Iniquity? |
| A26983 | Or will you not mourn at last( with weeping and gnashing of teeth) And say; How have I hated Instruction, and my heart despised Reproof? |
| A26983 | Shall wée not love thy Servants, and forgive our Neighbours their little debt? |
| A26983 | Will it cost you as dear to grant this Liberty, or abate these things, as the Imposition will cost your Brethren and you? |
| A26983 | Will you defend it as your friend? |
| A26983 | Will you endeavour by your own Teaching, and Example, and Restraint, to keep him from wickedness, and train him up in a holy life? |
| A26983 | Will you then deny it, or will you stand to all the reasonings, or excuses, by which you would now extenuate or cover it? |
| A26983 | Wilt thou indéed give us to reign with Christ in Glory, and sée thy face, and love thée, and bée beloved of thée for ever? |
| A26983 | and doth this shew that you love your neighbours as your selves? |
| A26983 | and that so many have been put upon so new and so generally dis- relished a thing? |
| A26983 | and whether your understandings are not still imperfect, and all men differ not in some opinions or other? |
| A26983 | can it be expected, that wee should all be past erring about the smallest Ceremonies and Circumstances of worship? |
| A26983 | for your souls sake, let not Satan abuse your understanding, and sin befool you, must you not die? |
| A26983 | will sin goe then with you for as light a matter as it doth now? |
| A26065 | 21000. if they could engage them to our ruine, what would they not do? |
| A26065 | A famous example of Polanus Nolinus, that when he had given all that he had away, and being asked, why he would give so much to the poor? |
| A26065 | Besides, who can answer they shall be better by the retu ● … n of the dispossessed party? |
| A26065 | But it may be some others will object and say, why should we that are Ministers, engage our s ● … lves so much in this business? |
| A26065 | But what if an open Enemy should come, could or ought the Subjects joyn against him with their new Magistrate? |
| A26065 | But you may demand, How shall it be known when the common good holdeth it self on the possessour''s hand? |
| A26065 | Have not many of you spent your blood in this Cause, yea, how many young ones in this City have lost their blood? |
| A26065 | He crys out, shall the best of Governours, the greatest of mercies seem intolerable? |
| A26065 | How many professors will rashly rail, and lie in their passions; how few will take well a reproof, but rather defend their sin? |
| A26065 | IS Prelacy indeed the way of Gospel- government,& c? |
| A26065 | If you say, Well, but were it not better we bent all our forces to some Accommodation? |
| A26065 | MOses fell on his f ● … ce, as Joshua here, and makes God cry out Let me alone; will this Cure it? |
| A26065 | Secondly, If he wi ● … l needs thrust himself upon the hazard, when he needs not, whose fault is that? |
| A26065 | Some of your Brethren have come in and submitted to you, Stars of the first Magnitude, and may it not be expected the Sun and Moon nill do so too? |
| A26065 | That is, why come not in the Scotish A ● … my against the King? |
| A26065 | This they can not subscribe to: why? |
| A26065 | To what a dead low ebb were We brought, our liberty almost swallowed up, and turned into slavery, our Religion into Popery? |
| A26065 | VVhat then was he that deposed them? |
| A26065 | Was not that Calling as bad as the Men? |
| A26065 | Were not the Book of Service, and the Book of Canons obtruded on them, the Occasion of their late mercies? |
| A26065 | What warrant have we to take up Arms to maintain Religion? |
| A26065 | What wilt thou do unto thy great name? |
| A26065 | What would the Kings party do, if they could engage another Nation to their help? |
| A26065 | Why rest you not contented with this? |
| A26065 | and the Tyranny of a few of their Prelates, a means to unburthen them of their whole Prelacy? |
| A26065 | did the King forgive? |
| A26065 | what a Reformation hath follow''d at the heels of this glorious Ordinance? |
| A76214 | And should not a Creature live to the Ends and Uses which it was made for? |
| A76214 | And that the attaining of such an Endless Glory, had been worth thy greatest care and labour? |
| A76214 | At last bethink thee what thou art? |
| A76214 | Do you not heartily wish that this had been your course? |
| A76214 | Hast thou got more by the world and sin, than Heaven is worth? |
| A76214 | How justly are they condemned, who sell their part of endless Joyes, for a shadow and dream of transitory pleasures? |
| A76214 | How wilt thou answer for such treacherous ungodliness? |
| A76214 | O how much happier are the blessed Souls in Heaven, than we? |
| A76214 | Therefore let it be speedily your work, to try whether this be your case or not? |
| A76214 | Thou art almost at the end of worldly pleasures, and hast all that ever they will do for thee? |
| A76214 | What think you now of a sinful and of a holy life? |
| A76214 | Would you take this course if it were to do again? |

| A76214 | and for what End and Work thou camest into the world? |
| A76214 | to hate your sin, and to live and love a holy life, in mortifying the flesh, and seeking Heaven before the world? |
| A76214 | what suffering too dear for such a Blessedness? |
| A52204 | Actually so, or, that it may and can reduce into Act? |
| A52204 | But what needeth to add any more? |
| A52204 | Did not Sol ● mon King''of ▪ Israel sin by these things? |
| A52204 | Is God Vnrighteous when he taketh Vengeance? |
| A52204 | Or if so, what it is to be the Author of it? |
| A52204 | Shall not the Judge of all the Earth do right? |
| A52204 | Should a Judg so proceeding, be like unto God? |
| A52204 | The Fact, or Omition I mean, not the anomie only, which results from the same? |
| A52204 | The Question is whether Sin hath an ● Efficient, or Author, or not? |
| A52204 | The Question is, of what all this is Denominated? |
| A52204 | The Question is, what according to them, God did more in the Inspiration of the true Prophets, than in the false, in linea Physica as they speak? |
| A52204 | VVhat colour of Justice were there? |
| A52204 | What can all this and the like be affirmed of: but of somewhat that hath Entity? |
| A52204 | What is a Natural Faculty or Active power, but an Ability connate to the Subject,( founded in nature,) rendering it potent to such an Effect? |
| A52204 | What is it that he can do? |
| A52204 | What shall we think of his Upbraiding Men for it, and protesting he willed the contrary? |
| A52204 | What though a m ● n can not turn the course of the Sun in the Firmament? |
| A52204 | Where then is the Equity of ● he Law? |
| A52204 | Who can make out these things? |
| A52204 | Whose Heart is it that reproacheth him not for preventable Miscarriages? |
| A52204 | Why will you die saith he? |
| A52204 | You know the Arguments that mov''d you then; and what hinders but they should now prevail? |
| A52204 | absit, God forbid, saith the Apostle: how then shall he Judge the World? |
| A52204 | and 5.20? |
| A52204 | and can not obtain of himself to do otherwise? |
| A52204 | and said to be ours by real Inhesion and Contagion, as the whole Church consesseth? |
| A52204 | or by what shall the Righteousness of God be vindicat ● d? |
| A52204 | or if it be nihil, a non- Entity, how then doth it descend? |
| A52204 | or of meerness in the Recompence? |
| A52204 | or to what End should it be designed? |
| A52204 | or why should it be termed Sin to want it? |
| A52204 | or will it solve the matter to tell them that it''s a Privation, Darkness, a non- Entity, and therefore he could not cause it? |
| A52204 | what did they more in the One, than in the Other? |
| A52204 | what is this that thou hast done? |
| A52204 | what it is, that whoever can justly be ch ● rged therewith, the G ● ilt of all that cleaveth to him? |
| A52204 | when it''s by no fault of his that it''s wanting, nor was it ever by God intended to be continued? |
| A26927 | 5. of November, to thank God that he delivered us from the superstition, Idolatry, Heresie, Tyranny and cruelty of Rome: and shall we admit them? |
| A26927 | Be wise O ye Kings, be instructed O ye Judges of the Earth? |
| A26927 | But is the worshipping of Creatures but a quirk ● s with you? |
| A26927 | Catholicks( and shall they be Indulgent?) |
| A26927 | Do you not know this to be true? |
| A26927 | Idolatry is not to be Tolerated? |
| A26927 | If so small the difference between us, why so great your cruelty towards us? |
| A26927 | If you keep correspondence with our enemies, and practise against us, when you are in danger of punishment; what will you do when you are tolerated? |
| A26927 | Is it persecution to allow something of your superfluities for the Kings necessities? |
| A26927 | Our Saviour answereth what is written in the Law, how readest thou? |
| A26927 | That way that leaves men, no certain way to be saved is not to be Tolerated: Popery is that way& c. When poor Souls would know how to be saved? |
| A26927 | They say hear the Church: If he say how shall I know wether the Church is infallible? |
| A26927 | What have we to do any more with Idols? |
| A26927 | What shall I do saith the man in the Gospel that I may inherit eternal Life? |
| A26927 | Will you allow them amongst us whose business it is to perswade the world that you and we are damned? |
| A26927 | and to God, Thou art not able to instruct us for salvation without humane tradition, but a Toy? |
| A26927 | and will you suffer Anti- Christ to advance himself above every thing that is called God? |
| A26927 | doth not God see this? |
| A26927 | doth not he observe it? |
| A26927 | for you — how modestly you insinuate — should not be persecuted? |
| A26927 | hath he exalted you, and will you see him thus debased? |
| A26927 | have you any care of precious Souls? |
| A26927 | how can we know the Scripture and believe it? |
| A26927 | if we can not trust our sences how can we know you, and obey you? |
| A26927 | is saying to a peice of bread, Thou art God, but a trifle? |
| A26927 | shall God avenge? |
| A26927 | to what end hath God advanced you but to see that men lived according to his Law hath God raised you up? |
| A26927 | to what end hath he set up you, but to see that men should walk according to his will? |
| A26927 | will you not keep them to the Sure word of prophecy? |
| A26927 | would you see an Usurper upon your Throne, and can you endure stocks and stones in Gods house? |
| A26927 | yea many of them come to our Churches now, — why may they not all do so? |
| A26927 | — Should not be persecuted: — and who of you is persecuted? |
| A26927 | — were we burned, massacred, tortured, banished, imprisoned, famished, upon quirkes, and differences in words, rather then in real points? |
| A26914 | 2. Who would you have to be Judge in this matter? |
| A26914 | And if Princes and people will believe all this, and will be deceived, and will voluntarily subject themselves to such an Usurper, who can help it? |
| A26914 | And if horning, or Writs de Excommunicato Capiendo, or imprisonment, or burning men as Hereticks follow this, all this is the Magistrates own doing? |
| A26914 | And is not all this enough to satisfie you, that we claim no part of the Magistrates Office? |
| A26914 | And what would you or any man have more? |
| A26914 | And who will trouble the Church unnecessarily about words and names? |
| A26914 | And would they not encrease this pollution that would have the most vicious to be equally received with the best? |
| A26914 | Are not such regular proceedings necessary even in Cases of meer arbitration? |
| A26914 | Be not righteous over much; neither make thy self over wise: why shouldst thou destroy thy self? |
| A26914 | But how shall men be heard, if they be not cited? |
| A26914 | Can you sh ● w their Interest plainlier than all this? |
| A26914 | Do you think this is not plain dealing enough, if men are willing to understand? |
| A26914 | Etiamne Equisoni suo subjectus Rex? |
| A26914 | Etiamre medico? |
| A26914 | For what dishonour is it for a man to be subject to his Maker and Redeemer? |
| A26914 | For who will have a Co- partner with him in his Kingdom, that may choose? |
| A26914 | Hath not all Christs Church exercised such a Discipline as I have described since the Apostles days till now? |
| A26914 | How shall such things be Justly and Regularly, transacted, if there be not a known Time and Place, and if Accusers and Witnesses be not summoned? |
| A26914 | If Rulers will make such Laws, and if they will so far be Executioners of the Clergies Decrees, who can hinder them? |
| A26914 | If it be, how can our Religion be good? |
| A26914 | If it be, with whom shall the ignorant trust the conduct of their souls, that will not make merchandize of them? |
| A26914 | If not — If you would, it must be such a difference as Christ hath appointed us to make? |
| A26914 | If not, why should you think that others will not be as just and impartial as you would be? |
| A26914 | If you say, Why then did you not forbear a work so ungrateful? |
| A26914 | In such cases which must you conform to and obey? |
| A26914 | Is it not the wickedness of Christians that is the chief hardening of Turks and other Infidels against Christianity? |
| A26914 | Is not Faith for Holiness, and did not Christ come to purifie a peculiar people, and restore us to the Image of God? |
| A26914 | Is the Office so malignant to infect all that undertake it? |
| A26914 | Nay, what greater honour can there be? |
| A26914 | Or all the Bishops of Christendome without exception, were ever present at any Council? |
| A26914 | Or is not Reformation a righter way than extirpation, of Discipline as well as of Doctrine and Worship? |
| A26914 | Or shall he whom by mis- information you refuse or reject from your family or service, become your houshold servant in despight of you? |
| A26914 | Shall every one be Judge himself? |
| A26914 | Shall they force themselves into our familiarity or communion in spight of us? |
| A26914 | The Bishop commandeth you to use a Ceremony, or to keep a holy day, and your Parents forbid it you? |
| A26914 | Undoubtedly they give away more of their own Interest hereby, than you have opened? |
| A26914 | What if the Magistrate, Minister, and Parents have opposite Commands? |
| A26914 | What impudency then is it in these men to challenge me to prove, and yet overlook my proof? |
| A26914 | Where they have no profit, no preterment, no man- pleasing, no worldly honour to invite them? |
| A26914 | Whether it be convenient for the King to make Church- men Magistrates, or not? |
| A26914 | Which of them is to be obeyed? |
| A26914 | Who can administer on these terms? |
| A26914 | Who had not rather Rule alone, than divide his Kingdom with the Pope? |
| A26914 | Who were the Judges of the Capacity of persons to be baptized, or the desert of persons to be rejected? |
| A26914 | Whom do you think Christ committed this business to? |
| A26914 | Would you be partial and false to the Truth of Christ your self, if you were the Pastor of a Church? |
| A26914 | Would you have any difference made between the Christian Church and the Pagan and Infidel world? |
| A26914 | Yea, where it is like to diminish their gain, to hinder them from preferment, to make them hated by most on whom their discipline is exercised? |
| A26914 | doth the Jansenist himself therefore disclaim all Temporal Power in the Church, or is he just to Kings? |
| A26914 | e. g. The Magistrate bids you meet in one place for publick Worship; the Bishop in another, and the Parent in a third? |
| A27044 | 2 And to be presently awakened to use them better before the rest be taken away? |
| A27044 | 3 But let us all know the use of suffering, what cure hath this Medicine wrought? |
| A27044 | And are we not taught by such a glass as this, how Great and how Good a God we serve? |
| A27044 | And how farre they know the things on Earth? |
| A27044 | And how is Gods strength manifested in our weakness? |
| A27044 | And how their state before the Resurrection differs from what it will be after? |
| A27044 | And how they converse with one another? |
| A27044 | And how they do enjoy? |
| A27044 | And how they see, Praise and enjoy God? |
| A27044 | And is not this Providence of God, and this example of our deceased friend of use to us? |
| A27044 | And many more? |
| A27044 | And whether Christ ever directed the Church to exclude such, or did not plainly require the contrary? |
| A27044 | And whether the Apostles ever excluded such, or made such Rules? |
| A27044 | And why do we so much fear every Thorn in the Flesh: Every Sickness, Pain, or Cross, as if Pride could be prevented or killed at too dear a rate? |
| A27044 | But how doth God do it? |
| A27044 | But how doth Paul endure the Thorn? |
| A27044 | But how doth Paul pray? |
| A27044 | But how was Paul in danger of being exalted above measure, by the abundance of Revelations? |
| A27044 | But if we suffer not, how shall suffering- graces be exercised, faith, patience, self- denial, and hope? |
| A27044 | But who put this Thorn into Pauls Flesh? |
| A27044 | Did they live then more humbly, peaceably and heavenly? |
| A27044 | Do we not find that we are better when we suffer than when we are high? |
| A27044 | Have you heard and seen more of heaven than others? |
| A27044 | How easily should we bear our short afflictions? |
| A27044 | How far one or not one with Christ, and one another? |
| A27044 | How far they have still sensation? |
| A27044 | How greedily do some Religious People desire it? |
| A27044 | How shall grace and divine strength be manifested to our selves and others? |
| A27044 | How shall we get the benefit of suffering, if we feel it not? |
| A27044 | How they are indivuate, and yet how far one? |
| A27044 | How they subsist, and act out of the body? |
| A27044 | If Faith have not taught you to pray as Christians, methinks feeling should teach you to pray as men? |
| A27044 | Is Pride so rare or so small a sin? |
| A27044 | Is not grace better than ease or life? |
| A27044 | Is not this a Paradise indeed, that is a place of purest greatest pleasure? |
| A27044 | O had we lived as Beleivers should have lived, how much more of heavenly mindedness, and delight might we have attained than we have done? |
| A27044 | O how it would overcome all these distrustful trembling fears of death, and make us long, and grown and cry, to be with Christ? |
| A27044 | O let our pains drive us all to God, who hath not some? |
| A27044 | O what a help to mortification would such a sight of Paradise be? |
| A27044 | Our souls would fain have more sensible perceptions of themselves, as to their substance, and their separate state? |
| A27044 | Paul was thither taken up; had he no interest there, no hopes, no friends, no business there; VVhy then should he have been rapt up thither? |
| A27044 | Say not, Why then is it my duty to pray? |
| A27044 | Sicknesses are all abroad, what house, how few persons have not some; and yet is there a Prayerless house, or person? |
| A27044 | The spirit of a man( if sound and well) will sustain( his bodily) infirmities: But a wounded spirit who can bear? |
| A27044 | To repent of our neglect of such helps as God is now removing? |
| A27044 | VVhat life would it put into all holy duty? |
| A27044 | VVhy should we enquire, when they must not be uttered? |
| A27044 | Was not Paul a strong believer? |
| A27044 | Was that Church therein guided by the Spirit of Christ, which made the Canon which ipso facto excommunicateth such? |
| A27044 | We would fain know more of the decrees of God, and how all his acts are Eternal, and yet produce their effects in time? |
| A27044 | Were we designed but to inhabit the Sun, or some resplendent Star, how high is it above this Earth? |
| A27044 | What faithful Soul that hath been bred up in the School of afflictions doth not by experience say that it was good for him? |
| A27044 | What is it in this confused and imperfect VVorld that hath not its inconveniencies? |
| A27044 | What is it that Grace is sufficient for? |
| A27044 | What may we conjecture those things are which Paul had seen and must not utter? |
| A27044 | What trifling should we think most of the busles of this world? |
| A27044 | Whether they are substances utterly immaterial, how they are generated? |
| A27044 | Whether wise and good men could find no better? |
| A27044 | Why did Christ pray against his Cup? |
| A26936 | And darest thou refuse this when God and Conscience do command it? |
| A26936 | And dost thou see and know this, and yet wilt thou not be instructed, and be wise in time? |
| A26936 | And is he not self- condemned, that honoureth the Names of Saints, and will not imitate them? |
| A26936 | And is not this Christ the Author of our Holiness, and this Scripture the Commander of it? |
| A26936 | And is this Nature given thee in vain? |
| A26936 | And what can we do to satisfie Justice, and reconcile such a rebel Soul to God? |
| A26936 | And who can be our Owner, but He that made us? |
| A26936 | And who can be our highest Governour, but our Owner? |
| A26936 | Ask your Hearts seriously, What is it that I shall need at a dying Hour? |
| A26936 | Believe: Tell me now what is the full Resolution and Desire of your Will, concerning all this which you Believe? |
| A26936 | Blessed are they that are thy faithful Subjects; But who hath hardened himself against thee, and hath prospered? |
| A26936 | Can not Carcases and Dust instruct thee to see the end of Earthly Glory, and all the Pleasures of the Flesh? |
| A26936 | Can they be wise for thee, that are foolish for themselves? |
| A26936 | Can you travel one whole day to such an End, and never think of the Place that you are going to? |
| A26936 | Did they deride or persecute a Holy Life? |
| A26936 | Do they then speak well of Lust and Pleasures and magnifie the Wealth and Honours of the World? |
| A26936 | For want of these, how woful are our divisions? |
| A26936 | Had they not rather die as the most mortified Saints, then as careless, fleshly, worldly Sinners? |
| A26936 | How dangerous a case is that Man in, who hath so greedy a Beast continually to restrain? |
| A26936 | How deplorable then is a World ● ings case? |
| A26936 | How should that Man be filled with Joy, who must live in the Joys of Heaven for ever? |
| A26936 | How small else would the Church seem in the World? |
| A26936 | Is it a Controversie, whether thy Flesh must shortly perish? |
| A26936 | Is there any Felicity more desirable than Heaven? |
| A26936 | O Man, canst thou pass one day in Company, or alone in Business or in Idleness, without some sober Thoughts of Everlastingness? |
| A26936 | Unless it be some desperate forsaken Wretch do they not all speak well of a Holy Life? |
| A26936 | WHat do you believe concerning GOD? |
| A26936 | WHat is the Christian Religion? |
| A26936 | Were they not more strictly Holy than any that thou knowest? |
| A26936 | What Miseries come from small beginnings? |
| A26936 | What a Mercy is it to be driven from the World to God, when the love of the World is the greatest danger of the Soul? |
| A26936 | What believe you of Man''s Redemption by Jesus Christ? |
| A26936 | What believe you of Man''s fall into sin and misery? |
| A26936 | What believe you of the Creation, and the nature of Man, and the Law which was given to him? |
| A26936 | What believe you of the Holy Catholick Church, the Communion of Saints, and the Forgiveness of Sins? |
| A26936 | What believe you of the Holy Ghost? |
| A26936 | What believe you of the Resurrection and Everlasting Life? |
| A26936 | What haste doth it make? |
| A26936 | What is that Practice which by this Covenant, 〈 ◊ 〉 are obliged to? |
| A26936 | What is the New Testament, or Covenant, 〈 ◊ 〉 Law of Grace? |
| A26936 | When Custom hath rooted your natural Corruptions, are they easily rooted up? |
| A26936 | Where is our Covenant- part and Duty fullier opened? |
| A26936 | Where is the Christian Religion most fully opened, and entirely contained? |
| A26936 | Whether any deserve thy Love and Obedience more than God? |
| A26936 | Who can be safe that standeth long on so terrible a precipice? |
| A26936 | Will a Nature that is Carnal resist and overcome the Flesh, and abhor the Sin which it most dearly loveth? |
| A26936 | Will a Worldly Mind overcome the World? |
| A26936 | Will a few days fleshly Pleasures pay for the loss of heaven and thy immortal Soul? |
| A26936 | Will they help thee to Heaven, who are running so furiously to Hell? |
| A26936 | With what Eyes do they read the Gospel, who see not this in every Page? |
| A26936 | You are loath to be Heathens or Infidels: But do you think a Christian excelleth them but in Opinion? |
| A26936 | and darest thou live unready, and part with Heaven for such a World as this? |
| A26936 | and how quickly will it be gone? |
| A26936 | and then how highly will it be valued; when a Minute of it can never be recalled? |
| A26936 | and thy thankful Remembrance more then Christ, and thy Care and Diligence more than thy salvation? |
| A26936 | and wilt thou yet provide for it before thy Soul? |
| A26936 | and wish that their Lives had been spent in the most fervent Love of God, and strictest Obedience to his Laws? |
| A26936 | or Friends to thee, that are undoing themselves? |
| A26936 | or any Misery more terrible than Hell? |
| A26936 | or any thing so regardable as that which is everlasting? |
| A26936 | or have any pity on thy Soul, when they make a Jest of their own Damnation? |
| A26936 | or will thy Sin and thy Prosperity be sweet at Death, and in the Day of Judgment? |
| A26936 | that if he do but neglect his Watch one Hour, is ready to run him headlong into Hell? |
| A26979 | 8, 9, 10. and judge, and be ashamed[ Will a man rob God? |
| A26979 | And besides this Ministry( as much as they revile them) who have we to carry on the work of the Gospel? |
| A26979 | And doth the Christian Religion consist in such ridiculous accusations as these? |
| A26979 | And if I had any cause to be weary of the Christian Catholick Reformed Religion, what reason have I to turn Quaker any more then to any other sect? |
| A26979 | And seriously would these wise men have no man called Father, or sit uppermost? |
| A26979 | And shall we play an old game as if it were a new one, where all have sped so ill before? |
| A26979 | And shall we run our selves into the fire, which hath consumed such Heresies through former ages? |
| A26979 | And they will revile the Ministers as blind guides, and tell their people they are all in darkness, and the way to damnation? |
| A26979 | And what do they preach? |
| A26979 | And where is this forbidden? |
| A26979 | And whether the Quakers have not condemned themselves in condemning these sects that hold their opinions? |
| A26979 | And yet all have sufficient Light within them? |
| A26979 | Are not they men? |
| A26979 | But see now a new generation of preachers; and what is their message? |
| A26979 | But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? |
| A26979 | Can I see the witness in him? |
| A26979 | Consider also how suitable their Doctrine is to the Interest and Pleasure both of the Papists and the Devil? |
| A26979 | Do you need any proof? |
| A26979 | Doth God lay mens salvation upon an hour- glass, or a Pulpit, or being called Master? |
| A26979 | Doth it go well with any Nation on earth without them? |
| A26979 | For if they are perfect and sinless, what''s that but a great part of heaven? |
| A26979 | For what can they have more then a sinless perfection? |
| A26979 | How could the Devil himself shew Pride more notoriously? |
| A26979 | How do they prove that they are more in the right then all these? |
| A26979 | If all, why not the Ministers, and their people? |
| A26979 | If darkness, who would have such Preachers? |
| A26979 | If light, what needless labour is this, when all men have sufficient Light already? |
| A26979 | Know you not that Heresies must arise, that those that are approved may be made manifest? |
| A26979 | O what a shame is this to your profession? |
| A26979 | O what would he give them that this were but true? |
| A26979 | Or have you better enough if all these were down? |
| A26979 | Or whether the same point be Heavenly in a Quaker, and Hellish in a Ranter, Papist or Drunkard? |
| A26979 | Say I these things as a man? |
| A26979 | They will not say, Forgive us our trespasses: For what need they a Christ and pardon that have no sin? |
| A26979 | Very few experienced, humble, so ● er Christians, that ever I heard of that turn to them? |
| A26979 | Well, and will any but a mad man let go his Christian Faith, before he know where to have a better? |
| A26979 | What do they bring to satisfie a wise man that they only among all these and many other sects are in the right? |
| A26979 | What good do they where they come? |
| A26979 | What is proud boasting if this be not? |
| A26979 | What reasonable man would turn Quaker that seeth the common fruit of their Doctrine? |
| A26979 | When they damn all the Ministers and Churches of Christ, how can they please the Devil better? |
| A26979 | When they have called me Dog and Devil, and abundance of such names, and I have asked them what was my fault? |
| A26979 | Where be they? |
| A26979 | Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charge? |
| A26979 | Will the Gospel be propagated without Preachers? |
| A26979 | Will they perswade others with such exceeding pains and zeal to that which they would not do themselves? |
| A26979 | Would you not turn Jews and Infidels, and renounce Christ himself, if you had but some body to ● ry you? |
| A26979 | Ye take too much upon you — wherefore list ye up your selves above the Congregation of the Lord?] |
| A26979 | [ Have not we power to forbear working? |
| A26979 | but make people hare both godly Teachers and people whom they loved? |
| A26979 | for what can hinder them but sin? |
| A26979 | is it light or darkness? |
| A26979 | or for he knows not what? |
| A26979 | or to the Anabaptists, or the Antinomians, or Libertines, or Familists, or Socinians, or such like? |
| A26979 | or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? |
| A26979 | or, saith not the Law the same also? |
| A26979 | when they proclaim themselves perfect without sin; can they yet think highlier of themselves, or speak highlier of themselves, then this? |
| A26979 | who planteth a Vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? |
| A26979 | why not to the sect of Papists as well? |
| A26979 | — If we have sown to you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things? |
| A55108 | 3. we are told, That God condemn''d Sin in the flesh of Christ; but how, which way? |
| A55108 | And if meer Forbearance have this effect, what( may we suppose) wou''d have been the consequence of absolute Forgiveness? |
| A55108 | And in that other Book to which our Accuser refers us, he thus expresses his Sense, at his very entring upon this Point? |
| A55108 | And should not this( will it not) be laid to Heart by such as have any serious Regard to the Welfare of Christianity, or of their own Souls? |
| A55108 | But upon this Supposal, That that Law only oblig''d either Christ, or us to suffer, what reason was there for so dismal Apprehensions? |
| A55108 | But what Condecency or Becomingness wou''d there have been in it; if Sin might have been pardon''d, and the Sinner sav''d as well without it? |
| A55108 | By what Rules their Necessity, or no- Necessity shall be adjusted? |
| A55108 | Can a Penalty be said to be forgiven, that was not due? |
| A55108 | Can any one think? |
| A55108 | Christ is said to have made peace through the Blood of his Cross; but wou''d our Death have avail''d to any such purpose? |
| A55108 | Cursed is every one that continues not,& c.''T is denounc''d against no one but the Sinner himself? |
| A55108 | Did He bear the stinging Reflections of a guilty Conscience, the horrors of a despairing damned wretch in Hell? |
| A55108 | Did He lose all right to, and Interest in God''s Favour and Kindness? |
| A55108 | I''m well aware of it; and what then? |
| A55108 | If any one that comes after shall use the same Expresions( meaning, the same that Mr. Baxter uses) — I say( and who then dare gain- say it?) |
| A55108 | If one Man sin against another, the Judge shall judge him; but if a man sin against the Lord, who shall intreat for him? |
| A55108 | Is God unrighteous that taketh vengeance? |
| A55108 | Nay, why are not all in Heaven( whom Christ did represent) as well as some there? |
| A55108 | Now to what purpose have we all these Passages Transcrib''d by him? |
| A55108 | Now will this Accuser say, That in this Sense Christ did sustain, and suffer in the person of Sinners? |
| A55108 | Or is not this rather an unrighteous Doctrine, that wou''d reflect the Imputation of Injustice upon the Holy God? |
| A55108 | Or shall we say, That He was our Representative, in his Obeying, as well as in his Suffering? |
| A55108 | Or yet, that the Arrows of the Almighty do wound, do stick fast in any Soul? |
| A55108 | Or, only the value, and not the same full Debt? |
| A55108 | Or, with whom the Judgment of this grand Affair shall be entrusted? |
| A55108 | So that Death( amongst Men) has the nature of a Punishment in it, but how then comes it to be inflicted, if it be not due? |
| A55108 | Some but babes, while others are strong Men in Christ? |
| A55108 | This Surety is a Punishment with a witness; but how can it be a righteous one if it be not due? |
| A55108 | This therefore is the only Question that can lie betwixt us and our Accuser, Whether Christ was really a Sinner, or not? |
| A55108 | Upon this Principle, what hurt can Sin, the grossest wickedness do us? |
| A55108 | Was He every one of those very Men for whom He died? |
| A55108 | Well, but how must this Design be carried on? |
| A55108 | What has he to except against any of the Recited Clauses? |
| A55108 | What shall we say? |
| A55108 | What shall we then say to those numerous Texts, where we and our Sins are said to be forgiven? |
| A55108 | Whence is it that any are expos''d to the fiery Darts of the wicked one? |
| A55108 | Whence is it, that He gives up any to their own Hearts Lusts? |
| A55108 | Why are not the Influences of the Divine Spirit equally diffus''d? |
| A55108 | Why are some( yea, even of the truly sanctify''d) more freed from Sin and Sorrow, than others? |
| A55108 | Why, do n''t you observe it, here''s left out a Change of Persons between Christ and us all along? |
| A55108 | Yet again, According to this Notion, How can the Eternal Damnation of any Soul consist with Divine Justice? |
| A55108 | and is it not in Law paid, if either the Principal or Surety pay it? |
| A55108 | or can it be yet due, when''t is already paid? |
| A55108 | with what design? |
| A26980 | And are all these sects that oppose us, better agreed among themselves? |
| A26980 | And can you not hear the Devil in these words of highest Pride and Arrogancy? |
| A26980 | And dare you now stand up in their room and make your selves the heirs of their sin, and punishment, and justifie them in all their Malignity? |
| A26980 | And do you reproach us with our mercies, if we be out of the Furnace but a little while, in one corner of the world? |
| A26980 | And how prove you that we have not the Spirit? |
| A26980 | And if we be not persecuted, What means the reproaches of you and all the Drunkards and Malignants about us? |
| A26980 | And is there enow that are wiser and better then we to fill up our rooms, if we were out? |
| A26980 | And what do they endure all this for but Gods honour and your salvation? |
| A26980 | And what else do Quakers and all these sectst that are the enemies of the Ministry? |
| A26980 | And what have they got by it? |
| A26980 | And why so? |
| A26980 | And will you throw stones at their head for endeavouring to save your souls? |
| A26980 | And would not you do the like by them if you had power in your hands? |
| A26980 | And would these men make all the people thieves and covetous, to take or desire that which never was their own? |
| A26980 | But if they had their will, and were rid of the Ministry, alas what would the forlorn wretches do? |
| A26980 | But really Sirs, do you think that these men would teach you better? |
| A26980 | Can they be so blind as to think a painful Minister doth make it his design to seek himself, or to look after great matters in the world? |
| A26980 | Do I need to prove this, which is so much of the substance of the old Testament and the New? |
| A26980 | Do not Lawyers, Physitians,& c. live a far easier, and in the world a more honourable plentiful life? |
| A26980 | Do not all preach one Gospel, and the same Essentials of the Christian Faith? |
| A26980 | Do not you feel these flie in your faces when you oppose the Ministers of Christ? |
| A26980 | Do you not understand the meaning of these words against Christs Ministers? |
| A26980 | Do you think so many souls would be converted if the Ministry were down? |
| A26980 | Doth a thief or murderer sin against plainer light then you? |
| A26980 | Doth not Paul pray that the Gospel may run and be glorified, and that we may be delivered from unreasonable wicked men? |
| A26980 | For whom do we watch, but for them and others? |
| A26980 | Have you already forgotten how the persecutots of a godly Ministry have sped within these sixteen years in England and Ireland? |
| A26980 | Have you forgotten what God hath done here against the Papal enemies of the Gospel and Ministry, in 88. and the Powder- plot, and many other times? |
| A26980 | How many millions of souls would these wretches sweep away to hell, if they had their will? |
| A26980 | If he do not know, will you blame him for using the best that he can get? |
| A26980 | If none, you may see what they are doing: if any, Who and where are they? |
| A26980 | Is it any thing but what they had before? |
| A26980 | Is it not horrible Pride if all these silly souls do think that they can do it better themselves? |
| A26980 | Is it not malice or sacrilegious covetousness that frameth this accusation? |
| A26980 | Is not this the loud language of their actions? |
| A26980 | Is that their wages that you owe them? |
| A26980 | Nay would they have them rob God, to whom for his service the Tithes were devoted? |
| A26980 | Or to ruine his Kingdom, then to reject his Officers? |
| A26980 | The Elders that Rule well are wor ● hy of double honour,& c.] with abundance more such passages as these? |
| A26980 | Then they might damn themselves without disturbance, and go quietly to hell, and no body stop them, and say,[ Why do you so?] |
| A26980 | This is soon said too: but where''s the proof? |
| A26980 | Was it the friends or enemies of all the Prophets, Apostles and Ministers of Christ, that Scripture and all good writers do commend? |
| A26980 | What I must Gods Ministers above all others be grudged food and raiment, and that of the Lords portion, which none of you pay for? |
| A26980 | What difference between the calling, doctrine and lives of those martyred Ministers, and these that are now alive? |
| A26980 | What greater service could all the world do for the Devil then to cast out the Ministers of Christ? |
| A26980 | What if the Ministers were all cast out? |
| A26980 | What readier way to ruine the Schools of Christ, then by casting out the Teachers that he hath appointed under him? |
| A26980 | What work would heresies, and division, and prophanness make, if these banks were cut down? |
| A26980 | What would you have more then is granted you? |
| A26980 | Who doth not desire that all the Lords people were Prophets? |
| A26980 | Who fights against Christs Officers and Army, but the General of the contrary Army? |
| A26980 | Who should teach the ignorant, or rebuke the obstinate, explain the word of truth, and stop the mouthes of proud gain- sayers? |
| A26980 | Whose are the Tithes? |
| A26980 | Will you spit in their faces for seeking with all their might to keep you from Hell? |
| A26980 | Would not the time, and labour, and cost that they are at in the Schools and Universities have fitted them for a more gainful trade? |
| A26980 | Would we be Ministers for any lower ends? |
| A26980 | [ Shall evil be recompenced for Good? |
| A26980 | and oppose the same sort of Ministers that the Papists burned? |
| A26980 | and what more would the Devil himself desire, to set up his Kingdom and suppress the Church? |
| A26980 | are they ours or theirs? |
| A26980 | or ever endeavoured? |
| A26980 | where was there ever Church on earth that continued without a Minister? |
| A26980 | would they have any to do Gods work in their stead, or none? |
| A26975 | ( prefaced by John Fox) Written by men Commissioned by him? |
| A26975 | And God hath gone before man, and hath instituted Government himself, by the Law of Nature and of Scripture, and hath not staid for man to do it? |
| A26975 | And are Kings and Magistrates uncapable of Wisdom? |
| A26975 | And are not others such? |
| A26975 | And now what shall I gain by this Discourse? |
| A26975 | And should we treat of such a subject as Concord and Toleration, with whom should it be? |
| A26975 | And what heavy Charges of Simony, Filthiness, Heresie,& c. have even General Councils and Historians laid on the Popes and many Councils? |
| A26975 | And where there is kept up a wise and holy Magistracy and Ministry, when and where did it ever go ill with such a people, by any publick desolation? |
| A26975 | And who may call them so with less contradiction, than they that can at their pleasure make them seem such, and few dare contradict them? |
| A26975 | And why may not Princes attain as much wisdom and honesty as their Counsellors and Judges? |
| A26975 | Are the same Canons fit for Papists, Priests and Protestant Preachers? |
| A26975 | Are we a Protestant Kingdom, and not a Christian Kingdom? |
| A26975 | But how prove you that a Christian Kingdom is a Church? |
| A26975 | But is not our first Reformation and our Canons and present Laws of Conformity, a sufficient means of Concord without any new Reformation? |
| A26975 | But what is the difficulty in the way to Concord? |
| A26975 | But what then doth? |
| A26975 | Do I need to aggravate it? |
| A26975 | Do you look for Kingdoms that consist only of the sincere? |
| A26975 | Doth your Question mean de Re, or de Nomine? |
| A26975 | Great is the advantage that Supreme Rulers have, to put the Name of Evil upon Good, and of Good on Evil, and to procure the Vulgar to say as they? |
| A26975 | How came this General Episcopacy that was to gather and fix Churches to be so much ceased? |
| A26975 | How can man be the Fountain of that which God hath instituted before him? |
| A26975 | How commonly do such dispute the foresaid case, whether the Prince or People be the chief, without distinguishing Majority and Meliority? |
| A26975 | How many Loads of Controversal Volumes are written by Papists against each other? |
| A26975 | How many difficulties must be overcome, before one Parish can get a cure of such? |
| A26975 | How oft do they falsly tell us that the People are the Fountain of Power? |
| A26975 | How oft do they speak of their different Right, without distinguishing, separate or distinct from opposite? |
| A26975 | How prove you that the Largeness of the Diocess altereth the Species of Episcopacy and Churches? |
| A26975 | How vast is the difference between Governing one Kingdom, and Governing all the World? |
| A26975 | If all that dwell in the Parish, are not all the Papists, Atheists, Hobbists, Deboisht and Sectaries of their Churches? |
| A26975 | If only Communicants, do they know when they come to the Altar whether they are of their Flocks or Strangers? |
| A26975 | If so, why did King Edward the sixth require Bucer to write for more, which he hath done in his Scripta Anglicana? |
| A26975 | If the King make the Church of England, is it like if he be a Papist or Malignant, that he will chuse a Protestant and pious Church? |
| A26975 | If they take me for as errant a Knave or Rogue as Judge Jeffreys or Mr. Long have pronounced me, what''s this to the common Cause of Truth and Peace? |
| A26975 | If two can not agree, how will such agree others? |
| A26975 | Is it a Superior? |
| A26975 | Is not this a Christian Kingdom, while King and Subjects are baptized professed Christians? |
| A26975 | Or that a Covetous, Drunken, Filthy, Licentious Patron will chuse a Man that will Zealously Preach against his Sins? |
| A26975 | Rome was not all the Roman Empire: What right then had the Populus Romanus to Govern the Empire? |
| A26975 | SHould not the Roman Church Policy in reason be owned for the advantage of Christianity against Infidels? |
| A26975 | Shall the Throne of Iniquity have Fellowship with God, when they frame Mischief by a Law? |
| A26975 | Shall we then leave all to the sober godly peaceable men? |
| A26975 | That is, should not Men chuse a Leprosie to cure an Itch? |
| A26975 | V. Whether the Errors of the Protestants do not so disparage them as to make the Roman Church more Honourable? |
| A26975 | What Christian wisheth not that the Persians, Indians, Turks, Tartars,& c. were all Christian Kingdoms? |
| A26975 | When did it ever go well with Judah or Israel when they had a foolish wicked King? |
| A26975 | Whether an Universal Church- Government be of Apostolick Succession in the continued parts of their Office? |
| A26975 | Whether it be they or the Bishop that must know them personally? |
| A26975 | Whether the Divisions of other Christians render the Roman Government desireable for Concord? |
| A26975 | Whether they know who are the Members of their Churches? |
| A26975 | Who would wish that Pagans had still Reigned? |
| A26975 | Why else do the Millennies hope for such a state of holy Government? |
| A26975 | You may next ask, Who then must Make or Consecrate a Pope? |
| A26975 | a due Reverence to Church Confederacies and Concord, and to the Christian Magistrates Power? |
| A26975 | — His Revolt to a Foreign Jurisdiction, in two parts, Octavo? |
| A26856 | ANd now oh Man, is Flesh all that thou art? |
| A26856 | An Universal Council never was,''T was but one Empire that did make that name; Now that''s dissolv''d, how should it come to pass? |
| A26856 | And if we knew which Powers to obey, Which be the Canons, which so needful are? |
| A26856 | And is Church Unity no better known, And yet is necessary to Salvation: And to all those that Christ himself will own? |
| A26856 | And is not this a doleful Bedlam- Case, When all a Rich Mans pleasure with him Dies? |
| A26856 | And now what''s left? |
| A26856 | And though he rage, and sober Men disdains, Who loves his Case, or longeth for his Chains? |
| A26856 | And yet for Holiness, who hath more Zeal? |
| A26856 | Baptism Christ made, what was thereto requir''d? |
| A26856 | But God is Just and Holy: how can I, Defil''d with Sin and Guilt, stand in his sight? |
| A26856 | But the false name of Councils- General, Is now a Cheat to serve the Roman- King, Where are those Councils? |
| A26856 | But the time lost can never be recal''d, The works of Madness can not be undone; I have undone my self; is there no help? |
| A26856 | But where is Dives Soul? |
| A26856 | But where''s his Money, Honours, Lands& Treasures? |
| A26856 | But will Christ to such Sinners Saviour be, Who long and wilfully contemn''d his Grace? |
| A26856 | Can he look high who thinks himself so base? |
| A26856 | Hath Mercy made Life sweet: And is it kind and meet, Thus to draw back from God, VVho doth Protect thee? |
| A26856 | Hath any one the common Rule of all, Or will Turks, Papists, and all Kings agree? |
| A26856 | How comes a Reasonable human Soul, Transform''d by such a Monstrous ugly change? |
| A26856 | How many books in vain dost thou take down? |
| A26856 | How sad doth Dives look? |
| A26856 | How vile a thing is Man, if Flesh be he? |
| A26856 | If Flesh be Man, how many Men are one, From Birth to Death, when as the Rivers flow? |
| A26856 | If Health, Wealth, Pomp, or Pow''r, delude thy mind, Go to the greatest dying sick Mans Bed, Ask him what safety he in these doth find? |
| A26856 | If that one Sun a Thousand Fold excel, This Earth in bigness, where we Sinners dwell;( And what''s one Sun to all the Heav''n beside?) |
| A26856 | Is all the world save Rome, but the Popes Mule, And that his Crown''s Elective all do Note? |
| A26856 | Is it deceitful Wealth, Got by Care, Fraud, or Stealth, Or short uncertain Health, VVhich thus befool Men? |
| A26856 | Is it distracting Cares, Or Heart- tormenting Fears, Or pineing Grief and Tears, VVhich Man requireth? |
| A26856 | Is it the Mothers VVomb, Or Sorrows which soon come, Or a dark Grave and Tomb VVhich is their Treasure? |
| A26856 | Is not Gods Kingdom Glorious and wide? |
| A26856 | Is''t Childrens Book and Rod, The Lab''rer''s heavy Load, Poverty under- trod The VVorld desireth? |
| A26856 | Is''t the whole Church on Earth that he must rule, Why then hath not the whole a choosing Vote? |
| A26856 | It s like, that all the Church consents, they''l say, Then he''s no Pope whom three 4th parts disclaim, How shall three parts then know whom to obey? |
| A26856 | It s strange in Man, how these two twisted be, To be a Bruit, and a Malignant Devil? |
| A26856 | LOrd is not Man, though lodg''d in Flesh and Blood, A noble Vital, intellectual Spirit? |
| A26856 | Look then for his sharp Rod, Next to Correct thee? |
| A26856 | MY Soul go boldly forth, Forsake this Sinful Earth, What hath it bin to thee But Pain and Sorrow, And thinkst thou it will be Better to Morrow? |
| A26856 | Must they that give the Power which they use, Superiors, Equals, or Inferiors be? |
| A26856 | Now the Mad Prodigal comes to himself, Perhaps the World doth him its Husks deny, Why, saith he, did I leave a Fathers House? |
| A26856 | Or do the Serpents Lies, By the VVorlds Flatteries, And tempting Vanities, Still over- rule them? |
| A26856 | Or do they in a Dream, Sleep out their Season? |
| A26856 | Or is Decrepite Age VVorth Mans Enjoying? |
| A26856 | Or is it it Youthful Rage, Or Childish Toying? |
| A26856 | Parents these Undertakers do not ask, Will you these Vows and Promises perform? |
| A26856 | Say what you will, Reason can prove it true, What is''t that drunken Reason can not do? |
| A26856 | Should vital knowing Spirits cloath''d in Flesh, Mistake so Course, a Garment for the Man? |
| A26856 | Such a true Council, when and where to call, Or can one third part Universal be? |
| A26856 | Thou gav''st him sight, who hath put out his Eyes, Thou gav''st him knowledg, who hath made him mad? |
| A26856 | VAin World, what is in thee? |
| A26856 | VVhat if Foes should make hast, Thou wilt the sooner tast VVhat all Blest Souls enjoy, VVith Christ for ever? |
| A26856 | VVho longs to be a Serpent for the Sting? |
| A26856 | VVho the Toads hurtful Venom envieth, VVho''d have the Basalisks pernicious Breath? |
| A26856 | What do poor mortals see Which should esteemed be, Worthy their Pleasure? |
| A26856 | What fallows hence, but general Damnation? |
| A26856 | What hath he taken hence of all his Gains? |
| A26856 | What is it now but warmed moving Clay? |
| A26856 | What is the time that''s gone, And what is that to come? |
| A26856 | What tak''st thou for thy part, But Heav''nly pleasure? |
| A26856 | What was it made of, but the Mothers Food? |
| A26856 | What will it be e''re long but common Earth? |
| A26856 | What''s Flesh but Water mixt with sensless Earth? |
| A26856 | When Popes damn Popes,& Councils damn them all, And Popes damn Councils, what must Christians do? |
| A26856 | When they each others Laws damn& recal, How shall we know whose Power then was true? |
| A26856 | Where did Gods Art that curious Body form? |
| A26856 | Where then should be thy Heart, But where''s thy Treasure? |
| A26856 | Where was that Flesh one Year before thy birth? |
| A26856 | Who envy wicked Men, their hurting Power, Who do believe their sad approaching hour? |
| A26856 | Who must him choose, Which is the Pope, when there are two or three? |
| A26856 | Who would be griev''d at prosperous sinners reign Who did foresee their everlasting pain? |
| A26856 | Whom must we take for Pope? |
| A26856 | Why art thou for Delay, Thou cam''st not here to stay? |
| A26856 | Why is thy Being no more known, Why seeking knowledg readst thou not thy self? |
| A26856 | Will any serve that will usurp the Name? |
| A26856 | Wonder of Wonders? |
| A26856 | knowst thou no deeper than thy Skin? |
| A26856 | whence: who must them call? |
| A26901 | 13. tell you, whether Nero or the Senate were the higher power? |
| A26901 | And do your Leaders yet think that the Papists are pleased with that which will promote the Protestant cause? |
| A26901 | And few of the young, the ignorant or licentious sorts will be your Auditors; And how will the work of Repentance then be carried on by you? |
| A26901 | And he saith unto them, Whose is this Image and Superscription? |
| A26901 | And how great an addition will that be to your load? |
| A26901 | And if Satan can but get such an odious Character fastened on you, what mischievous advantage will he make of it? |
| A26901 | And if you separated but from the individual offenders, should it not be done in a regular way? |
| A26901 | And is this a Controversie in Divinity? |
| A26901 | And must we only tell Heathens, that the Scriptures have their proper evidence, and not tell them what that evidence is? |
| A26901 | And now Mr. Bagshaw citeth it with applause: Reader, who is in such a case as I? |
| A26901 | And then how much hath Satan gained? |
| A26901 | And what kind of preaching would this man make among Turks and Heathens that deny the Scriptures? |
| A26901 | And what need Preachers to tell men this? |
| A26901 | And would you have but one Minister in a County or two, to keep up all the Interest of Religion? |
| A26901 | And yet going on to repeat the same things, which I had confuted? |
| A26901 | And, whether the King had Authority to raise his Arms against theirs? |
| A26901 | And, whether they can name me a Christian Writer in the world more infamously self- stigmatized with this vice? |
| A26901 | But Iesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? |
| A26901 | But Iesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? |
| A26901 | But what? |
| A26901 | Crisp, Canne, Iohnson, Blackwood, or any other tolerable Opinionist, will put his opinion into his Prayers? |
| A26901 | Did Christ tell the tempting hypocrites, whether Caesar justly coined money in, or for Iudaea? |
| A26901 | Did I ever lay that charge against all the Christians in the Parish Churches? |
| A26901 | Doth Church- discipline require no better defence? |
| A26901 | Doth his Cause and Glory need mens Lies? |
| A26901 | Doth not that make them in this all one with an imposed prayer, as to fore- knowledge? |
| A26901 | Even Martyn himself as well as Ithacius? |
| A26901 | Had I seen what visible dangers are over us, of a condition yet worser than all this? |
| A26901 | Hath Divinity therefore nothing to do in Law controversies? |
| A26901 | If these things were but Hard to the man, why is he so proud as to disdain them? |
| A26901 | Is it truth, that men must be thus cheated into with errours? |
| A26901 | Is there many of them that ever defended half so much sin so obstinately, without confession, and yet so impotently without sence? |
| A26901 | Is this his preaching? |
| A26901 | Lord, who shall abide in thy Tabernacles, who shall dwell in thy holy hill? |
| A26901 | Nay, that own not( as they think) the Diocesan Prelacy as such, but only Episcopacy in general, and Diocesans, as the Kings Officers? |
| A26901 | Read over several debates, and see whether ever a cause so hotly contended for, had so little said for it? |
| A26901 | Reader, Is there in the first any shadow of the truth at all? |
| A26901 | Reader, do but hear, and judge whether any thing except his Amareduci can excuse such horrid deliberate untruths? |
| A26901 | Receded from it, and yet not repented of: What a forgetful self- contradicter is this man? |
| A26901 | Son of man, Can these bones live? |
| A26901 | Tell us therefore what thinkest thou: Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? |
| A26901 | Their Controversies were, whether the Parliament had Authority to raise their Arms against the Kings will, prohibition, and opposition? |
| A26901 | Then went the Pharisees and took counsel, how they might entangle him in his talk — Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not? |
| A26901 | They call out for Valiantness in suffering themselves: And shall I be so cowardly as to fear their false reports? |
| A26901 | They cry out against the fear of man: And shall I fear their impotent revilings? |
| A26901 | What sin will you call it to father all these falshoods on[ the Glory of God, and the Cause of Christ? |
| A26901 | When the Minister prayeth freely, I may in heart either joyn with him, neglect him, or dissent: And what hinders me from doing so at Common- Prayer? |
| A26901 | Whether Fathering all this on God and Religion, make ● ● t the sin to be yet greater? |
| A26901 | Whether ever you saw Books so answered as mine are by him? |
| A26901 | Whether his Calumny, or false accusations of me, and of Calvin, Perkins, Hildersham, Preston,& c. be not an unchristian act? |
| A26901 | Whether it be not rare to meet with so much audacious impudence in sinning? |
| A26901 | Which Text is it that telleth you, that the Militia belonged to the Parliament, or what degree of power the Courts of Justice have? |
| A26901 | Will you be seduced to think that Christ or Paul must decide all controversies of forms and degrees of power in Republicks? |
| A26901 | Yea, could you wish at this day that the Christian and Protestant Religion were kept up by none but the unconformable Ministers in private? |
| A26901 | Your glorying is not good: Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? |
| A26901 | nor no more repentance for above fourscore published Untruths than this? |
| A26901 | what more effectual way could be devised, to make Church- discipline contemptible to the world? |
| A26901 | yea, or all the Bishops either? |
| A26935 | And can you tell how great a crime this is? |
| A26935 | And do not the Consciences of the Damned grind and tear them for the contempt of Goodness, and setting against mercy, even mercy to themselves? |
| A26935 | And do you not know that to deny any one of the three, yea to deny the perfection of any one of them, is to deny that there is any God? |
| A26935 | And doth not the proper Goodness of a means consist in its aptitude to promote the End? |
| A26935 | And have you not the like occasion to argue against his other perfections? |
| A26935 | And is he not the first cause? |
| A26935 | And is not that means the Best, which is aptest to the End? |
| A26935 | And is there not necessarily an Imperfection in all that is not God? |
| A26935 | And tell me, what if but the wills of all the poor, the pained, the dying,& c. were but reconciled to their suffering- state? |
| A26935 | And that his Goodness( though not as to be measured by humane Interest) is equal to his Wisdom and his greatness? |
| A26935 | And that they are none of them greater or less than other? |
| A26935 | And what Grace or happiness can there be without the Love of God? |
| A26935 | And yet that there are Toads, Serpents, Darkness, Death, Sickness, pains,& c. which therefore are no whit inconsistent with his Goodness? |
| A26935 | Are not all effects from their causes? |
| A26935 | Are you well acquainted with the nature and degrees of the future miseries which tempt you to think that God is cruel? |
| A26935 | But God foreknoweth, e. g. Judas sin, Therefore it will certainly come to pass) And what of all this? |
| A26935 | But can a Child of God be possibly guilty of so great a sin as this? |
| A26935 | Could he give more goodness than he had to give? |
| A26935 | Did it make it self? |
| A26935 | Do not all men in the World confess Gods Goodness first or last? |
| A26935 | Do you not know that Power, Wisdom and Goodness are Gods Three essential Principles of Operation, Virtues, or Properties? |
| A26935 | Doth not the admirable harmony of all the world, and his wonderful work in every Creature, prove his incomprehensible Wisdom? |
| A26935 | For who can expect that any man should be better than his Maker; and that he should have any Good, which denyeth God to be Good? |
| A26935 | Hath God made a world that is better than himself? |
| A26935 | I say after all this, have any of these persons cause to complain, that God dealeth not mercifully with them? |
| A26935 | I say, this, be one that instead of praising God with the raptures of continual Joy, shall turn his accuser? |
| A26935 | If God made man and all things, Did he not make them for himself, for the pleasure of his own will? |
| A26935 | If he be better than all, is he not most beyond accusation or exception? |
| A26935 | Is it any better than a denying that there is any God? |
| A26935 | Is it necessary to ● his end, or to prove Gods Goodness that all Individuals, or species of Creatures must be of the highest rank or excellency? |
| A26935 | Is it not a plain act of malice against God and us? |
| A26935 | Is it not certain that there is a world, in which is abundance of Created Goodness? |
| A26935 | Is not all the Goodness of the whole Creation communicated from God? |
| A26935 | Is not that a contradiction? |
| A26935 | Is not that best, that is best to the order, beauty, and usefulness of the universal frame? |
| A26935 | Is the Goodness of a King to be judged of by the Interest of Murderers in the Goal? |
| A26935 | Must be not needs in reason be the end of all, who is the Beginning and cause of all? |
| A26935 | Must not God necessarily excell his works? |
| A26935 | Must not he needs be better than all his works? |
| A26935 | No Scripture or Reason telleth us whether Sun or Moon, Starrs and intermediate Aether, be inhabited or not? |
| A26935 | O man into what distraction and confusion art thou faln, when thou departest from thy God and sinkest into that blind and wretched self? |
| A26935 | Shall they, that will not accept of life and mercy offered them, accuse him as cruel that importuneth them to accept it? |
| A26935 | Shall this person? |
| A26935 | They are not all of one degree; What if much of them be still voluntary to the miserable souls? |
| A26935 | What mind can be so black, as to deny all Created Goodness? |
| A26935 | When as there could neither be any of these, nor any world or being, if there were no God? |
| A26935 | Who can Love him whom he believeth to be bad, and so unlovely? |
| A26935 | Who is wise? |
| A26935 | Would you thus argue or quarrel against Gods Greatness and Wisdom, as you do against his Goodness? |
| A26935 | and he shall understand these things; prudent? |
| A26935 | must he needs make every worm a God? |
| A26935 | or must he make any God, or equal to himself? |
| A26935 | or rather a higher Demonstration of his Godness? |
| A26935 | or rather must it not have that excellency with belongeth to it as a part of the whole, for the common end of all together? |
| A26935 | or who else made it? |
| A26935 | suspect, did I say? |
| A26935 | that so men may hate him and fly from him as they do from Devils? |
| A26935 | would that which pleaseth the will be matter of any complaint? |
| A26948 | & c.] doth not the question deserve to be answered with the Rod? |
| A26948 | ( How much more then to respect their lawful Bishops and Pastors?) |
| A26948 | 2. Who knows not how fair a game the Papists have to play by our divisions? |
| A26948 | And shall they use our hands to do their work? |
| A26948 | And so can not obey them in Faith? |
| A26948 | And what reverence is due to them, as Holy? |
| A26948 | Are all religious and private Meetings forbidden by Rulers, unlawful Conventicles? |
| A26948 | Building the Church is but an orderly joyning of the Materials, and what then is disjoyning but pulling down? |
| A26948 | But First I will lay together some Propositions for decision of the Controversie; How far we are bound to obey Mens Precepts about Religion? |
| A26948 | But what if I can not Communicate, but according to the Administration of the Common- Prayer- Book? |
| A26948 | But what if I can not communicate, unless I conform to an imposed gesture, as kneeling? |
| A26948 | But what if there be gross and scandalous Sinners are Members of the Church? |
| A26948 | But what if they are sins committed in the open Assembly, even by the Minister himself in his Praying, Preaching, and other Administrations? |
| A26948 | Can you name any? |
| A26948 | Consider also what yielding in things lawful the Scripture recommendeth to us? |
| A26948 | Do not you condemn a carnal state? |
| A26948 | Do you not hate Superstition? |
| A26948 | Especially in case we doubt of the lawfulness of obeying them? |
| A26948 | For why should your Houses be dearer to you than the Church, which is the House of God? |
| A26948 | Hath God spoke more against any Sin than Unpeaceableness? |
| A26948 | How can you prove, that the Authority that made, or imposed the Liturgy, meant any other thing? |
| A26948 | How doth the Holy Ghost set Bishops over the Church? |
| A26948 | How far yielded Paul when he Circumcised Timothy? |
| A26948 | How few separated Churches do now exist, that were in being an hundred years ago, can you name any? |
| A26948 | How is the Holy Ghost given to Infants in Baptism? |
| A26948 | Is it certain by the word of God, that all Infants baptized, and dying before actual sin, are undoutedly saved? |
| A26948 | Is it lawful to bow at the name of Jesus? |
| A26948 | Is it lawful to impose Forms on the Congregation in publick Worship? |
| A26948 | Is it lawful to read the Apocrypha, or Homilies? |
| A26948 | Is it not a Sin for our Clerks, to make themselves the mouth of the People? |
| A26948 | Is it of the Apostle framing or not? |
| A26948 | Is not Censoriousness and Rash Judging a Sin? |
| A26948 | Many Doctrinal differences must be tolerated in a Church, and why, but for Unity and Peace? |
| A26948 | Mark, Is it not more of the Women and Apprentices that are of this mind, than of old experienced Christians? |
| A26948 | May the Communion Tables be turned Altarwise? |
| A26948 | May the People bare a Vocal part in Worship, and do any more than say Amen? |
| A26948 | May the name, Priests, Sacrifice and Altars, be lawfully used? |
| A26948 | May we communicate with unworthy persons? |
| A26948 | May we lawfully swear obedience, in all things lawful and honest, either to Usurpers, or to our lawful Pastors? |
| A26948 | May, or must a Minister, silenced, or forbid to preach the Gospel, go on still to preach it against the Law? |
| A26948 | No reason can be given, why a lawful thing should become unlawful? |
| A26948 | Or your Souls, which are the Temples of the Holy Ghost? |
| A26948 | Thus also it is that they put off Family- prayer, and ask,[ Where are they bound to pray in their Family Morning and Evening?] |
| A26948 | What confusion will be brought into the Church if Pastors be not obeyed in things lawful? |
| A26948 | What high Professors were the proudest overturners of all Government, and resisters and despisers of Ministry and Holy Order in the Churches? |
| A26948 | What is Sacriledge? |
| A26948 | What is the Use and Authority of the Creed? |
| A26948 | What is the true meaning of Sponsors or Godfathers, and is it lawful to make use of them? |
| A26948 | When the Church- men mean another thing, this is but to juggle with the World? |
| A26948 | Whence is Persecution, but from thinking ill of others, and abhorring or not loving them? |
| A26948 | Whether it shall have Rails, or no Rails? |
| A26948 | Whether it shall stand on the East or West side of the Temple, or in the middle? |
| A26948 | Whether the Laws of men do bind the Conscience? |
| A26948 | Whether the Table shall be of Wood or Stone, Round or Long, or Square? |
| A26948 | Whether we shall receive the Lord''s Supper at a Table, or in our Seats? |
| A26948 | White, Willet,& c. yea, and the Martyrs too? |
| A26948 | and do not you do so by those whom you causlesly separate from? |
| A26948 | and is it lawful to come up to the Rails to Communicate? |
| A26948 | and railed in? |
| A26948 | and what is it to dissolve Churches, but to break their Association, to reduce them to the Individuals, to cut them into shreds? |
| A26948 | and would you have all the Churches of Christ dissolved? |
| A26948 | and would you have all the Churches of Christ to be dissolved? |
| A26948 | as Cranmer, Ridley, Hooper himself, Farrar, Bradford, Fillpot, Sanders,& c. Could I separate from all these on the Reasons now in question? |
| A26948 | or to be examined by him, in order to a Baptism or Lord''s Supper? |
| A26948 | to such Men as Mr. Bolton, Whateley, Fenner, Dent, Crook, Dike, Stock, Smith, Dr. Preston, Sibbs, Stoughton, Taylor, and abundance other such? |
| A26948 | whether all the Children of true Christians have inward sanctifying Grace? |
| A27055 | And hence you may find that you are not Worldly Hypocrites? |
| A27055 | And how worthily will they be undone, that by wilful refusal are deprived of freely offered Felicity? |
| A27055 | And is it not a great mercy of God, that he hath herein called us to a life of happiness and present joy? |
| A27055 | And most of all her life she was tormented with a frequent head- ach? |
| A27055 | And shall that be your wilful choice? |
| A27055 | And that Christ liveth and reigneth, who can thus still send a sanctifying Spirit into Believers Souls? |
| A27055 | And that you prefer not any other pleasure in your esteem and choice and seeking? |
| A27055 | And that your fears and sorrows are somewhat abated by the promises of God? |
| A27055 | And though we cry, O miserable men, who shall deliver us? |
| A27055 | And what a mercy is it, that under all her infirmities, you enjoyed her so long? |
| A27055 | And what is it that with such glory and certainty is delivered to us from Heaven? |
| A27055 | And what is the Doctrine and Laws of God, are they not also suited to our Trust and Joy? |
| A27055 | And what is there in God''s Laws, but that which is our safety, and should be our joy? |
| A27055 | And why should not you be as studious to please God and make sure of Heaven as she was? |
| A27055 | But how are God''s Testimonies our Heritage for ever? |
| A27055 | Can not you say that it is this Word that maketh you hope that there is for man a better life, and that you shall not perish like the Beasts? |
| A27055 | Can not you say that you perceive a pleasing goodness in the Word of God, which maketh it welcome and acceptable to you? |
| A27055 | Can you say that you take it for that in which you place and seek your joy, though you can not yet attain it? |
| A27055 | Dare you under your hands make a Covenant for these to quit all your hopes of the life to come? |
| A27055 | Doth it make us take Gods promise and the thing promised as our heritage? |
| A27055 | Have you lived hitherto as thus resolved? |
| A27055 | Hence also you may learn why all true Christians so much value the Testimonies or Word of God? |
| A27055 | How God hath governed the World from the beginning, and how he hath redeemed us? |
| A27055 | How God made Man and all the World, and what Laws he gave him? |
| A27055 | How diligent we should be to confirm our belief of it, and how we should fetch our hope and comfort from it, in life and at our death? |
| A27055 | How far they are their Joy? |
| A27055 | How joyful should we be if we could but trust God, and love him, and obey him, and be free from sin, as much as the Law of God commandeth us? |
| A27055 | How oft and tenderly she counselled them? |
| A27055 | How oft hath she desired me to pray for them? |
| A27055 | How sin came into the world, and death by sin? |
| A27055 | How strictly we should obey it? |
| A27055 | How they are called an Heritage for ever? |
| A27055 | How they are so taken by Believers? |
| A27055 | I may ask the Malignant that call all serious Godliness Hypocrisie, whether such a life as this doth savour of dissimulation? |
| A27055 | I may ask the Papists, with what Face they can say as they use to do, That they never heard of a Protestant Saint? |
| A27055 | I. I may again ask both Quakers and Scorners, Whether the Holy Spirit do not dwell and work in such among us, as our dear Friend now deceased was? |
| A27055 | If Unbelief make you hope that there is no Hell, yet Hope of Heaven you can have none, unless you trust the Word of God? |
| A27055 | If good Laws be the safety and honour of Kingdoms, are not God''s Laws so to all the World? |
| A27055 | If you have chosen what end to live for and seek, what is it? |
| A27055 | If you have not, what will you now choose and do? |
| A27055 | Is it not a delightful thing to read that which no meer man could tell us? |
| A27055 | It is a mark of the Citizens of the holy City, That a vile person is contemned in their eyes? |
| A27055 | It is not Christ, and Christianity, and Scripture that you accuse? |
| A27055 | Or they that were never serious in it, but scorn the keeping of it? |
| A27055 | Quest But can all say, They are the Rejoycing of my heart? |
| A27055 | Remember her humble, moderate, holy example; and think whether your Souls have not as much need of the greatest care and diligence as hers had? |
| A27055 | We are beset with Temptations, and how should we overcome them, without God''s promise of better things than this World can give us? |
| A27055 | We are dark and foolish, and should have erred to Damnation, without this sure and heavenly guide? |
| A27055 | We have a life of service to God, which must be faithfully and chearfully done; and how should we so do it, without good perswasion of this revvard? |
| A27055 | What Christ is, and what he hath done, and what he will do? |
| A27055 | What Letters of serious holy Counsel she would write to them? |
| A27055 | What a mercy is it that all her prayers for you are yet in force, and more of the answer of them may yet be sent you, if you reject it not? |
| A27055 | What an ugly Dungeon were the World without them? |
| A27055 | What is it for Believers to take God''s Testimonies for their Heritage? |
| A27055 | What is it that you place your chiefest hopes in? |
| A27055 | What is there in all the description which I have here truly given you, which is injurious or dangerous to Church or State, or any person? |
| A27055 | What it is in God''s Testimonies which make them fit to be our Heritage, and our Joy? |
| A27055 | What say you, Will you die in Hope or in Despair? |
| A27055 | What will you take for your heritage, or your best, if not the future promised joyes, and what will you take for your security but Gods Word? |
| A27055 | What wonder is it that Infinite Power, Wisdom and Love, should make some of his creatures blessed by communication? |
| A27055 | Will it hurt any one that God and men are seriously loved? |
| A27055 | Will you then have any portion, heritage and joy which will be worthy of a man, and shall go further with you than the Grave? |
| A27055 | With what delight we should read it and meditate in it? |
| A27055 | Yea, indeed hence we see, how much we should set by it, and use it, how dear it should be to us? |
| A27055 | and Man in special when he hath made him capable of it? |
| A27055 | and that God''s Kingdom and Righteousness is first sought? |
| A27055 | and that God''s Testimonies are trusted and delighted in and obeyed? |
| A27055 | and what a worse than bruitish thing were man? |
| A27055 | if not, which is that you prefer, and which would you quit, if one must be hazarded or lost? |
| A27055 | or have we any better? |
| A27055 | shall health and wealth, and pleasure to the flesh, and honour among men, be taken for your heritage? |
| A27055 | which hath the nearest and highest place in your hearts? |
| A27055 | which seek you first, and make all other things give place to? |
| A27055 | who would willingly be deprived of his heritage, or heart rejoycing? |
| A26882 | 20. and yet none of them so much as displeased at Babylons sin, or the Churches suffering? |
| A26882 | And all for saying, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow? |
| A26882 | And did not I expresly exclude it: And yet is this Reverend man thus puzled at this as a dangerous Doctrine? |
| A26882 | And he will not deny the ordinary use of the word as without sorrow? |
| A26882 | And if both you and we were mistaken, I am confident you will not justify all that we suffer by, and say we are the only blameable Cause? |
| A26882 | And if it be not the Name, but my sense of it, do you find where he proveth any wrong sense that I express, or doth he give a better? |
| A26882 | And is it unlawful, because in it? |
| A26882 | And shall we persuade Protestants to leave them all? |
| A26882 | And when did all the Protestants, or Nonconformists chuse him to represent them? |
| A26882 | And why did your private Letter own it his, conjunct with Fame? |
| A26882 | And will it excuse your ungodliness, that you can lay the blame on them that dipossest you? |
| A26882 | And yet is there no danger from Names? |
| A26882 | Are Accidents parts, because Inherent?] |
| A26882 | Are all things duly belonging to it, parts of it? |
| A26882 | Are not your Quality, Quantities, Immanent Acts, Passions,& c. inherent? |
| A26882 | As if every such mistake were worthy of all the punishment undergone? |
| A26882 | At once the other extream, most study to get them out; and shall we also call all men on pain of hazarding their Souls to forsake them? |
| A26882 | But do your Brethren in Prison enjoy Publick Worship? |
| A26882 | But what shall ten parts of the Kingdom do, that must have the Old Translation or none? |
| A26882 | But whence came those wrong Suppositions of the most? |
| A26882 | Did Christ or his Apostles ever forbear the Synagogues for the sake of these long Lyturgies? |
| A26882 | Did Christ speak one word against them as Forms or Lyturgies? |
| A26882 | Did he want Zeal or Knowledge? |
| A26882 | Did the Parliament forbid one side only this Commemoration? |
| A26882 | Do good men take it for a priviledge to hurt the Church uncontradicted? |
| A26882 | Do you believe that Dr. Owens Name was not known with them before? |
| A26882 | Do you think he hath forgotten the ● ase of England? |
| A26882 | Doth he attempt in one syllable to blame any thing but the word? |
| A26882 | Doth this speak only of the English Lyturgy, which is not 200 years old, think you? |
| A26882 | Doth[ in] turn Accidents into parts? |
| A26882 | Had they not been good in themselves, what cloak could they have made for so great evil? |
| A26882 | Had you rather all that Worship God in Parish Churches, were persuaded that it is Idolatry, than Mr. Ralphson should be confuted by name? |
| A26882 | Have not weak Ministers as bad faults as a weak Translation? |
| A26882 | Have they Possession of better that have none at all? |
| A26882 | Have you proved this? |
| A26882 | He was displeased with it, when he died for it: and is his will changed since to favour it? |
| A26882 | I thought you had known how usual it is to speak to the second person, in answering Books many hundred years old? |
| A26882 | If it be so heinous to confute it, why did you divulge it? |
| A26882 | If the work be faulty, why do you not joyn with me to save men from it? |
| A26882 | If we could as charitably judge of a godly man that differs from us, as of our selves, and most esteemed Partners, how much sin should we avoid? |
| A26882 | If you can not bear these, sure you are less patient at the words[ Wrath and Anger of God]& c. what is it that you would have? |
| A26882 | Intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Aegyptian? |
| A26882 | Is a defensive confutation of Errour, dealing severely? |
| A26882 | Is not Kneeting, putting off the Hat, Methods, Translations, Meeter, Tunes,& c. in the Worship of God? |
| A26882 | Is not a Man named openly, till his Name be Printed? |
| A26882 | Is not this partiality? |
| A26882 | Is the sense[ Godly sorrow worketh Godly sorrow?] |

| A26882 | May the Argument use a term which the answerer may not repeat? |
| A26882 | Must you not first prove the Old so bad, as that no- Church Worship is better? |
| A26882 | O that I could have fore- known, that I might have confuted his Arguments without his Name, and displeased no body? |
| A26882 | Or, will you be without all, because you had once Possession of better? |
| A26882 | Perhaps you''l say, It''s a vain wish of an impossibility? |
| A26882 | Was there no publication of Names till 224 years ago, when Printing was invented? |
| A26882 | What Heresy or sin almost is not controverted? |
| A26882 | What work would this Argument make? |
| A26882 | What''s become then of your saying, We had Possession? |
| A26882 | When I excluded his misliked sense? |
| A26882 | Where hath God given any men power to prescribe& impost Forms for others, or commandea others to obey them?] |
| A26882 | Who knoweth not that the Religion of the Parish- Churches is like to be the National Religion? |
| A26882 | Will not your Reason prove, that we must also separate from you? |
| A26882 | You''l say, that''s but metaphorically spoken? |
| A26882 | ▪ Will you rather worship no where? |
| A27042 | 4. Who is it but your selves that hath brought you under Gods displeasure? |
| A27042 | 5. Who wounded Conscience, and hath raised all your doubts and fears? |
| A27042 | 6. Who is it but your selves that hath brought you so neer the gulf of misery? |
| A27042 | And may I not freely tell you, that God should have the precedencie? |
| A27042 | And must not Magistrates as well govern by their lives, as by their Laws? |
| A27042 | And now I beseech you all consider; is it not better to Remember your sins on earth, then in hell? |
| A27042 | Are death and Judgement matters of less moment? |
| A27042 | Are those men likely to take care of the happiness of so many thousands, that will still be so careless of themselves? |
| A27042 | Are your sins so small, so venial, so few, that you can find no employment on them for your memories? |
| A27042 | Consider the loathsome nature of your sins, and how then can you choose but loath your selves? |
| A27042 | Did not he make the Law that doth command it; professing that none shall see his face without it? |
| A27042 | Do they loath themselves for all their sins, who loath those that will not do as they? |
| A27042 | Do they loath themselves that are readier to justifie all their sins, or at least extenuate them, then humbly confess them? |
| A27042 | Do you loath your selves for all this, as being vile in your own eyes, and each man say, What a wretch was I? |
| A27042 | Enquire then, whether there be none among you that live a sensual careless life; cloathed with the best, and faring deliciously every day? |
| A27042 | For your souls sake enquire now, Is it thus with you? |
| A27042 | How carefully would you help the Labourers that are sent to guid men in the holy path? |
| A27042 | How confident should I be, that I could convert the most, if this were the Conversion? |
| A27042 | How little need should I have had to press it with all this importunity? |
| A27042 | How much further think you is it possible, for wicked souls to go in sinning? |
| A27042 | How severely would you deal with those, that by making a mock of Godliness, do hinder the salvation of the peoples souls? |
| A27042 | If brutish objects be your employment and delight, do I need to tell you what you make your selves? |
| A27042 | Is God and Heaven less worth then these? |
| A27042 | Is it not the God of Heaven himself that they make a scorn of? |
| A27042 | Is not Holiness his image? |
| A27042 | Is there none among you that spend your precious time in vanities, that is allowed you to prepare for life eternal? |
| A27042 | Is this your duty now, or is it not? |
| A27042 | Lest when he plagueth and condemneth you he say, Why persecuted you me? |
| A27042 | O that that this Honourable Assembly could know it in some measure, as it shall be shortly known? |
| A27042 | O then what Laws would you make against sin? |
| A27042 | Or can you expect to be obeyed by others, when you will not obey the God of Heaven and Earth your selves? |
| A27042 | Or is the offending of the Eternal God, so slight and safe a thing, as not to need your consideration? |
| A27042 | Or shall I think it were uncharitableness not to hope for it? |
| A27042 | Or would you have the people to be better then your selves? |
| A27042 | Shall I think it were presumption for me to hope for so high a reward for so short a labour? |
| A27042 | Shall the thorns and bryers be set in battail against the consuming fire and prevail? |
| A27042 | Surely God made not his Laws for nought; nor doth he make such a stir by his Word, and Messengers, and Providences against an harmless thing? |
| A27042 | The question is not, whether Bishops or no? |
| A27042 | The suffering to the sound in faith is as nothing: for what is the foaming rage of mad men to be regarded? |
| A27042 | We have all seen the evils of Liberty to be wanton in Religion: Is it not worse to have Liberty, to deride Religion? |
| A27042 | Will you make Laws which you would not have men obey? |
| A27042 | You can easily loath an enemy; and who hath been a greater enemy to any of you, then your selves? |
| A27042 | and What is it that God would have us do? |
| A27042 | and What shall we wish we had done at last? |
| A27042 | and endangered your eternall peace? |
| A27042 | and how they will look back on all at last? |
| A27042 | and to thrust his service into corners, and give him but the odious leavings of the flesh?] |
| A27042 | and what judgement it is that they will all be of, in the controversie between the flesh and spirit, at the later end? |
| A27042 | and what will be the fruit and end of all their lusts and vanities? |
| A27042 | and whether an holy or a sensual life will be sweetest to a dying man? |
| A27042 | and whether enow to use it? |
| A27042 | before your Physitian, then before your Judge? |
| A27042 | but whether Discipline or none? |
| A27042 | for your cure, then for your torment? |
| A27042 | or have you thus returned with self- loathing to the Lord, and firmly engaged your souls to him at your enterance into a holy life? |
| A27042 | to forget thy God, thy soul, thy happiness? |
| A27042 | to serve thy flesh? |
| A27042 | was it not your sinfull selves? |
| A27042 | what a monster of rebellion and ingratitude, to do all this against the Lord of love and mercy? |
| A27042 | what an unreasonable self- hating wretch, to do all this against my self? |
| A27042 | what have they left but a sting behind them? |
| A27042 | why then was fasting, and sack cloth and ashes, the badg of such in ancient times? |
| A26929 | 1.6, And who maketh the Need? |
| A26929 | And O how seasonable, and how joyful will the Churches Resurrection be after such low and sad distress? |
| A26929 | And could I but hope that they should be as able, and holy, and diligent, as I desire, how little should I partake with you in this daies sorrows? |
| A26929 | And doth not our dejectedness and want of Joy declare the sinful weakness of our faith? |
| A26929 | And how quickly will this NOW doctrine 3 be gone? |
| A26929 | And how short a trouble do they avoid, by running into everlasting trouble? |
| A26929 | And if it be but for a[ Now] that you must have sorrows, how reasonable is it that those sorrows be moderated and mixt with joy? |
| A26929 | And if the Cross hath born such happy fruit, what reason have we to be so much against it? |
| A26929 | And what a multitude of Souls will then be comforted? |
| A26929 | And when the Church is so low, almost like Christ on the Cross and the Grave, will not a Resurrection be a joyful change? |
| A26929 | And when the Son of Man cometh, shall he find faith on the Earth? |
| A26929 | And will not a firm belief of all this, rejoyce the Soul under all disappointments and sufferings on Earth? |
| A26929 | Behold the Lord God will help me, who is he that shall condemn me? |
| A26929 | But are you as ingenious in expounding them aright? |
| A26929 | Can sin and suffering be perfectly separated? |
| A26929 | Can you expect to keep your sickness, and yet to be wholly freed from the pain? |
| A26929 | Cease ye from Man whose Breath is in his Nostrils? |
| A26929 | Do you not judge of them rather by your present sense, than by their use and tendency? |
| A26929 | Do you not see that carnal pleasure is far more dangerous than all your sorrows? |
| A26929 | For what is our hope, or joy, or Crown of rejoycing? |
| A26929 | For wherein is he to be accounted of? |
| A26929 | God doth cast them down into destruction: How are they brought into desolation as in a moment? |
| A26929 | He hath triumphed over Satan; Death and Hell: He hath conquered sin, and what is there left to depose him from his Dominion? |
| A26929 | How easie is it to see these bubbles vanishing, and to foresee the sad and speedy period of all their cruelties and triumphs? |
| A26929 | How much is mankind beholden to the Cross? |
| A26929 | How small a thing should it seem to us, to be judged of man, who must stand or fall to the final sentence of the Almighty God? |
| A26929 | How then shall we know whether our sorrows tend to worse or unto better? |
| A26929 | If not, why do you long for their temptations? |
| A26929 | Is he not much fitter to dispose of you, than you or any mortals are? |
| A26929 | Is it God or you? |
| A26929 | Is it one that you can reasonably suspect, of any want of power, wisdom or goodness? |
| A26929 | Learn then how to behave your selves in the absence of your Lord, till his return: If you ask me, How? |
| A26929 | Look on the ungodly that prosper in the world, and tell me whether you would be in their condition? |
| A26929 | Mary,& c. shortened? |
| A26929 | My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, where is thy God? |
| A26929 | Not under temptation, or any of the tempters power? |
| A26929 | Not under the darkness of ignorance, error, or unbelief? |
| A26929 | Not under the pains of a languid, diseased, corruptible Body? |
| A26929 | O how deservedly are ungodly men forsaken of God: For how short a pleasure do they forsake him, and the everlasting pleasures? |
| A26929 | Or at the trouble of your Physick while you continue your disease? |
| A26929 | Say then, O distrustful trembling Christian, Why art thou cast down O my Soul, and why art thou thus disquieted within me? |
| A26929 | Tell me then who it is that you suffer by; that hath the principal disposing hand in all? |
| A26929 | Therefore thus saith the Lord God unto them, behold I, I will judge between the fat Cattel and the lean? |
| A26929 | Though unbelieving Scoffers shall say, where is the promise of his coming? |
| A26929 | What is the worst that man can do, or the most that God will here inflict, to the Reprobates endless hellish torments? |
| A26929 | What saith your own experience, and how hath God dealt with you in the time that is past? |
| A26929 | When David went weeping up mount Olivet, he was in a safer case, than when he was gazing on Bathsheba from his battlements? |
| A26929 | When it crieth out on the Cross, My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
| A26929 | Who maketh you dull and sloathful, and sensual? |
| A26929 | Who maketh you proud and unbelieving, and uncharitable? |
| A26929 | Who turneth your hearts to earthly things, and deprives you of the sweetness of things spiritual and heavenly? |
| A26929 | Why then do you complain so much against the signs& products of it? |
| A26929 | Will not Christ appearing for its deliverance be a welcome sight? |
| A26929 | With what shame& sorrow do I now look back upon the cold and lifeless Sermons which I preached? |
| A26929 | Wo to the Shepherds of Israel that feed themselves; should not the Shepherds feed the Flocks? |
| A26929 | You will not do so by the bitterness of a Medicine, or the working of a Purge or Vomit? |
| A26929 | Your Fathers where are they? |
| A26929 | Your sorrows shall be no longer than you make them necessary, and will you grudge at your own benefit? |
| A26929 | and of that particular sin, usurpation of Dominion, and Treason against Caesar, which his heart and life were as contrary to, as light to darkness? |
| A26929 | and the prophets, do they live for ever? |
| A26929 | and to live in that air whose corruption causeth such, epidemical mortalities? |
| A26929 | and upon those years neglect of the duty of private instructing of your families, before we set upon it orderly and constantly? |
| A26929 | and will he be favourable no more? |
| A26929 | are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his Coming? |
| A26929 | doth his pr ● mise fail for evermore? |
| A26929 | hath God forgotten to be gracious? |
| A26929 | hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? |
| A26929 | is his Mercy cle ● n gone for ever? |
| A26929 | ubi sunt vaticinia tua? |
| A26929 | what a multitude of sorrows will there be ended? |
| A26929 | — And as for you, O my Flocks, behold I judge between Cattel and Cattel, between the Rams and the Hee- Goats? |
| A26939 | And how many neglect themselves when Ministers have done their best? |
| A26939 | And if Christ made his Servants no better than the world, who would believe, that he is the Saviour of the World? |
| A26939 | And is it not a gainful loss, which is rewarded in this Life an hundred fold, and in the world to Come with Life Eternal? |
| A26939 | And is the Devil a better Master than Christ? |
| A26939 | And little know we when a spark is kindled how it will end? |
| A26939 | And may you leave it for such a use as is forbidden both your Son and You? |
| A26939 | And no one is made for himself alone: You feel that Religious exercises do you good: But what good is it that you do to others? |
| A26939 | And shall we not be judged by that Law? |
| A26939 | And that Obligation to do it, is as essential to their Office as Authority? |
| A26939 | And what a blessing have wise and godly and peacemaking Christian Princes been in divers ages to the world? |
| A26939 | And what else do his Laws Command us? |
| A26939 | And what is Judging but Justifying or Condemning? |
| A26939 | And will you leave it to be the fuel of lust, and sin? |
| A26939 | Are you more bound to your Son than to your Self? |
| A26939 | But What is that Good that we must do? |
| A26939 | But are we not undera law of Grace, and doth not that Law command us obedience and the improvement of our Talents in doing good? |
| A26939 | But to hurt many, even whole Parishes, Cities, Churches, Kingdoms, how much more grievous will it prove? |
| A26939 | But what can any others do for such? |
| A26939 | By letting loose one passion, or carnal affection? |
| A26939 | By venturing once on secret sin: Yea, by one rash sinful word? |
| A26939 | Could nothing be done to get some Bibles, Catechisms, and practical books printed in their own tongues and given among them? |
| A26939 | Did God give it you to maintain idleness and sin? |
| A26939 | Did you ever well study that great prediction of Christ? |
| A26939 | Do you believe that all shall be Judged according to their Works? |
| A26939 | Do your best to procure faithful and just Rulers? |
| A26939 | Even the contempt of the peoples Souls, and of the blood of Christ that purchased them? |
| A26939 | Five parts of six of the World at this day are Heathens and Infidels: And what''s the Cause? |
| A26939 | Hath not Mr. Goodwin justly reprehended and lamented the neglect, yea and resistence of this work in Barbados? |
| A26939 | Have you not long tried him, and have you not endeavour''d to cure him of his Idleness, wickedness or lust? |
| A26939 | How little Conscience do many Lords and Ladies make of an Idle hour or life? |
| A26939 | How much holy blood have Roman and Spanish Inquisitors, and French and Irish Murderers, and most other Popish Rulers to Answer for? |
| A26939 | How much more if they are drawn and set in an unlawful interest and way? |
| A26939 | How sad use did Satan make of mens zeal for Orthodox words, when the Nestorian, Eutychian and Monothelite Controversies were in agitation? |
| A26939 | If Magistrates and Ministers took care for no longer than their own lives, what would become of the State or Church? |
| A26939 | If it be not done, what ground have you to presume it will be done when you are dead? |
| A26939 | If you can trust Christ, sure you will think this profitable Usury: Is not a Cup of cold Water well paid for, when Christ performs his promise? |
| A26939 | Is it not possible to do more than hath been done, to Convert the Blacks that are our own slaves or servants to the Christian faith? |
| A26939 | Is it not possible to send some able zealous Chaplains to those Factories which are in the Countries of Infidels and Heathens? |
| A26939 | Is not Baptism our Christening? |
| A26939 | Is not saving Church, and State, Souls and Bodies, better worth resolution and labour, than destroying them? |
| A26939 | Is not this to sell Souls for a little mony, as Judas did his Lord? |
| A26939 | Love maketh anothers wants, sufferings, and sorrows to be our own: And who is not willing to help himself? |
| A26939 | Malignity abhorreth serious piety, and will such promote it? |
| A26939 | Might not better Teachers be sent thither for that use? |
| A26939 | Might not more be dove for the Natives in our Plantations? |
| A26939 | Might not something be done in other Plantations as well as in New- England, towards the Conversion of the Natives there? |
| A26939 | One, and the worst, is Malignity, which is an Enmity to Spiritual good: For who will promote that which he is against? |
| A26939 | Or how many wayes Satan hath to improve it? |
| A26939 | Should not all this awaken us to do Good with greater diligence than they do evil? |
| A26939 | Stewards must give account of all: What would you wish were the matter of your true account, if death or judgment were to morrow? |
| A26939 | Such as thirst for the Conversion of sinners, and the enlargment of the Church of Christ, and would labour skilfully and diligently therein? |
| A26939 | This is past doubt: And how doth that man use it for God, who leaveth it to one that is liker to use it for the Devil in a fleshly unprofitable Life? |
| A26939 | V. But what is it that a man should do, that would do good to all or many? |
| A26939 | Wha ● live we for, or what should we desire to live for, but to do good? |
| A26939 | What a doleful life would the persidious Soul- betrayers live, if they knew what a guilt they have to answer for? |
| A26939 | What a name hath excellent Alexander Severus left behind him? |
| A26939 | What account can such a Steward give? |
| A26939 | What can private men do in this? |
| A26939 | What else is it to be devoted to God our Creator and Redeemer? |
| A26939 | What grievous mischief may even well meaning men do, by one mistaken practice or rash act? |
| A26939 | What now remaineth, but that we all set our selves to such a fruitful Course of life? |
| A26939 | What qualifications are necessary hereto? |
| A26939 | What the better were man for a Tongue, or hands or feet, if he should never use them? |
| A26939 | Whether Armenians, Greeks, and Mofcovites might not be helpt? |
| A26939 | Whether our Factories might not be made more useful to promote the Gospel, by Chaplains and Factors? |
| A26939 | Will he give his Servants a better reward? |
| A26939 | Would that excuse you if you put a Sword into a mad mans hand, to say, I can not help it if he use it ill? |
| A26939 | Would you commit your Children to the care of a Mad man or a Knave, because he may possibly come to his Wits, or become honest? |
| A26939 | Would you not wish you had done all the good you could? |
| A26939 | and how? |
| A26939 | and shall his work be done with greater zeal and resolution? |
| A26939 | and the like elsewhere? |
| A26939 | and to promote Love and Piety more earnestly than they do malignity and iniquity? |
| A26939 | by the fierce promoting of one error? |
| A26939 | how dismal is their success? |
| A26939 | how many Millions are neglected by both? |
| A26939 | how quickly may it be done, and how ordinarily is it done? |
| A26939 | the best are hardly to be trusted far, as being lyable to miscarry by infirmity, how little then is to be hoped for from the wicked? |
| A26939 | to tread down his Family and Spiritual worship, as if it were by his own Authority and Commission? |
| A26939 | what plagues may they be to the people and themselves? |
| A46661 | And do we not know that we must give an account of every idle word? |
| A46661 | And may I but so Die, how harmless, how welcome will Death be? |
| A46661 | And would not somthing like this in us, be desirable? |
| A46661 | Are all those comforts of Christians, that follow hard after him, worth nothing? |
| A46661 | But who knoweth yet but that this one Narrative of his Holy exemplary Life and Death, may do as much as more numerous or Voluminous writings? |
| A46661 | But, doth Satan use to imploy those weapons but against those that he is in some fear of losing? |
| A46661 | Can Christ forget the purchase of his own blood, the price of his soul, those whom he hath so intimately indeared to himself? |
| A46661 | Can a mother forget her sucking child? |
| A46661 | Can you gather from thence that the Lord doth not love you? |
| A46661 | Canst thou not see so much till thou canst see no more, not because of its shortness, but because of thy darkness? |
| A46661 | Christ smiles, and I can not chose but smile: can you find in your heart, to stop me who am now going to the compleat and eternal injoyment of Christ? |
| A46661 | Come and behold a dying man more chearful than you ever saw any healthful man in the midst of his sweetest enjoyments? |
| A46661 | Did Saints in former times use their tongues to no better purpose? |
| A46661 | Did we never experience what this meaneth? |
| A46661 | Did you never say, that these sermons upon hardness of heart, softned yours? |
| A46661 | Do vve see any Loveliness or Beauty in Christ Jesus? |
| A46661 | Doth God use to do thus, with his creatures? |
| A46661 | Doth he not punish us less than we deserve? |
| A46661 | Doth not the very word Love carry in it at the first hearing abundance of alluring violence? |
| A46661 | Doth not this speak aloud our hearts to be very empty of grace, and that we have little sense of those spiritual and eternal concerns upon us? |
| A46661 | Had he more reason to love us than we have to love one another? |
| A46661 | Hast thou felt such meltings of loving- grief? |
| A46661 | Hast thou not smelt the savour of his precious ointments, for which the virgins love him? |
| A46661 | Hast thou not tasted, hast thou not known, that his love is better than wine? |
| A46661 | Here you see a natural mans condition; How darest thou then lye down in security? |
| A46661 | How can he chuse but think all Creature- comforts but small, compared with one look of love from Christ? |
| A46661 | How can the love of God dwell in that man, who liveth without God in the world? |
| A46661 | How can this yoak be uneasLy? |
| A46661 | How many pathetical Letters did he send to them? |
| A46661 | I think that Learned man wrote not foolishly, who maintaineth that studies tend to long life? |
| A46661 | If Christ have my warmest love, why is it thus with me? |
| A46661 | If God have my heart, why am I so thoughtful about the world? |
| A46661 | Is it true, O my soul, doth God deal familiarly with man, and are his humble, zealous, and constant love, praise, and service too good for God? |
| A46661 | Is not Christ better than ten children? |
| A46661 | Is not all the world a shadow, compared with one quarter of an hours injoyment of him, even on this side of Glory in some of his own Ordinances? |
| A46661 | Is not his loving- kindness amiable? |
| A46661 | Is not that a blessed state, when a man can lift up his head with joy, when others tremble with fear, and sink with sorrow? |
| A46661 | Is there no excellency in his sweetness pity, and patience? |
| A46661 | Is there not Mercy and Truth in all his Dispensations? |
| A46661 | Is there not enough in God, and the Holy Scriptures, to bear up our spirits under any afflictions, let them be never so great? |
| A46661 | Is there nothing in communion with God? |
| A46661 | Is this like those that understand the language of Canaan? |
| A46661 | It is Christ hath commanded, and shall not we obey? |
| A46661 | Let not your soul sink under afflictions, for what reason have you to be discomfited under them? |
| A46661 | Now, were this deeply rooted in our hearts, how would contention, anger, wrath and heart- burning and all things of this nature cease? |
| A46661 | O how sweet and gratious hast thou been unto me? |
| A46661 | O what do Christians mean that they do no more labour to get their sences spiritually exercised? |
| A46661 | O why should any of you be so sad, when I am so glad? |
| A46661 | O, saith he, Is there any thing here, more desirable than the injoyment of Christ? |
| A46661 | O, when shall this dear, precious, pure, eternal love of His, over- power our souls? |
| A46661 | O, why do men and women jest, and dally in the great matters of Eternity? |
| A46661 | O, why do they not make Religion the very business of their lives? |
| A46661 | O, why is the Soul, Christ and Glory thus dispised? |
| A46661 | O, why me Lord, why me? |
| A46661 | Seems it a small matter, that the great Jehovah should deal thus familiarly with his Worm; and wilt thou pass this over, as a common mercy? |
| A46661 | Shall not the love of Christ constrain us? |
| A46661 | Shall we be so unkind to him who hath been so kind to us, as to stand it out with him in so equal a command? |
| A46661 | Shall we by continual sorrow add affliction to affliction, and so become our own Tormentors? |
| A46661 | Shall we quarrel with our Maker, and call the wise Righteous Judge to our Bar? |
| A46661 | Shall we then give our selves up to be carried away with the grieving passions? |
| A46661 | Should we talk thus, if we believed that we should hear of this again at the day of judgement? |
| A46661 | They that have interest in Christ, what need they be moved and discomfited with any worldly trouble? |

| A46661 | What is there in a life of divine love that we need be afraid of? |

| A46661 | What reason to be loath to take it on? |
| A46661 | What then shall I call these motions of your mind? |
| A46661 | What then shall we think of them? |
| A46661 | Where is the sinner, that could be contented to hear the Lord roaring out of Zion, whilest he is roaring in the Tavern? |
| A46661 | Where''s our love to God and souls all this while, where''s our sense of the pretiousness of time, of the greatness of our account? |
| A46661 | Which of them all could in the midst of their jollity say, This is the pleasure, that shall last for ever? |
| A46661 | Which of them would be glad to hear the trumpet sound, and to hear that voice, Arise you dead and come to judgment? |
| A46661 | Whom have you known that by longer living, hath got more holy readiness to die? |
| A46661 | Why do not our hearts even leap for joy, why do not our souls triumph in these discoveries of love? |
| A46661 | Why may you not then say with the Psasmist, Why art thou cast down, O my soul? |
| A46661 | Why me Lord, why me, and pass by thousands& look upon such a wretch as me, O, what shall I say unto thee, O thou preserver of men? |
| A46661 | Why should we not then cheerfully submit to him in this one command, love one another? |
| A46661 | Would it not more rejoyce me, than Josephs wagons did old Jacob? |
| A46661 | Would you keep me from my Crown? |

| A46661 | and why art thou disquieted within me? |
| A46661 | but I hope better things of you; did I not hope, why should I not mourn in secret for you, as one cast out among the dead? |
| A46661 | is not his loving- kindness better than life? |
| A46661 | what Pathetical expressions did he use, what vehement expostulations, how frequent, how particular in his applications, to them? |
| A26963 | Aliud, how prove you it to be there, rather than elsewhere? |
| A26963 | An Atome of Earth or Water, is not annihilated; and why should we suspect, that a Spiritual Substance is? |
| A26963 | And What''s a Contradiction, if this be not, to say, I do that which I can not do, or I can do that which I have no power to do? |
| A26963 | And as to the incapacity of misery which you talk of, why should you think it more hereafter than here? |
| A26963 | And do you think, that his love and goodness hath no answerable effect? |
| A26963 | And do you think, that this doth not more advance Souls than abase them? |
| A26963 | And how far their Authority extendeth? |
| A26963 | And if they be two, why are they not separable? |
| A26963 | And if you feign God to be partible, is it not more honour and joy to be a part of God, who is joy it self, than to be a created Soul? |
| A26963 | And is it many, or one concentred Soul? |
| A26963 | And what happiness then can we hope for, more than a deliverance from the present calamity? |
| A26963 | And whom do they believe? |
| A26963 | And why doth the Church believe? |
| A26963 | And why should we fear Perfection? |
| A26963 | And yet what is more certain than that there is Substance, Entity, and God? |
| A26963 | Are all men that can not define, therefore void of all knowledg? |
| A26963 | But do you know nothing but by Definitions? |
| A26963 | But if the world have but one soul, what mean you by its concentring in the Carcass? |
| A26963 | But what is such a mental Spirit? |
| A26963 | But what mean you by[ the active Principles concentration in its own body]? |
| A26963 | But what''s your proof? |
| A26963 | But you would know what''s meant by a spirit, whether all that is not evident to sense? |
| A26963 | Can Apes and Monkeys do all this? |
| A26963 | Can he not separate them when he will? |
| A26963 | Can not God make a Spirit? |
| A26963 | Do they not shew his glory? |
| A26963 | Do you believe, that each one hath now one individual Soul, or not? |
| A26963 | Do you know what material signifieth? |
| A26963 | Do you really believe, that there is a God? |
| A26963 | Do you think any dust, or drop, any Atome of Earth or Water, loseth any thing of it self, by its union with the rest? |
| A26963 | Do you think, that any Atome loseth its individuation? |
| A26963 | Do you think, that passive matter doth as much manifest Gods Perfection, and honour the Efficient, as vital and Intellectual Spirits? |
| A26963 | Doth God give them Laws to know and keep as moral free- agents? |
| A26963 | Doth acting, without Power to act, cause the Power? |
| A26963 | Doth not God know every dust, and every drop from the rest? |
| A26963 | Doth not all the world difference Virtue and Vice, moral good and evil? |
| A26963 | For before you can believe that Jesus is the Christ, and his Word true, how many impossibilities have you to believe? |
| A26963 | Hath he not imprinted his Perfections in some measure, in his Works? |
| A26963 | How many Score Volumes have told it us? |
| A26963 | If God made as many substantial individual Souls, as men, is there any thing in Nature or Scripture, which threatneth the loss of Individuation? |
| A26963 | If it be a pure Spirit, I would then know, what is meant by Spirit? |
| A26963 | If it be, is it a pure Spirit, or meerly material? |
| A26963 | If not here, why should you think that their misery hereafter will be ever the less, or more tolerable for your conceit, that they are parts of God? |
| A26963 | If not, how can we lose that which we never had? |
| A26963 | If separable, why not separated? |
| A26963 | If therefore all men have but one Soul, why is it not you that are in pain or joy, when any, or all others are so? |
| A26963 | If to part of the world, if each Vortex, Sun, Star,& c. have a distinct individuate superior Soul, why not men also inferiors? |
| A26963 | If you mean, That it''s but an accident, that''s disprov''d before; what accident is it? |
| A26963 | Is any Substance lost? |
| A26963 | Is it a real Being? |
| A26963 | Is it because they believe? |
| A26963 | Is it not Earth and Water still? |
| A26963 | Is it only the difference of an ▪ Instrument in Tune, and out of Tune? |
| A26963 | Is it really different from the Body? |
| A26963 | Is it themselves? |
| A26963 | Is it therefore a real Being, really different from the Body, and able to be without it? |
| A26963 | Is not the Haecceity, as they call it, continued? |
| A26963 | Is not this a just progress? |
| A26963 | Is the common light and sense of Nature no Evidence? |
| A26963 | Is the simple Nature changed? |
| A26963 | Is the universal Soul there fallen asleep, or imprisoned in a Grave, or what is it? |
| A26963 | Is there not in the Creature a communicative disposition to cause their like? |
| A26963 | Is this a Priviledg to boast of? |
| A26963 | That you Act vitally, understand and will? |
| A26963 | Therefore Belief is first, and is not caused by that which followeth it? |
| A26963 | These are now my doubts; but are they the fruits of Diligence? |
| A26963 | Those Conceptions are the cause of words and actions: and is there no cause of those Conceptions? |
| A26963 | What happiness then can we hope for more than deliverance from the present calamity; or what misery are we capable of, more than is common to all? |
| A26963 | What if I said,[ The Chandler made a Candle of Tallow, and then by another kindled it]? |
| A26963 | What need you the Power, if you can act without it? |
| A26963 | What should hinder it? |
| A26963 | What''s here wanting to a Definition? |
| A26963 | When the dust of the Carcass is scattered, is the Soul concentred in every atome, or but in one? |
| A26963 | When will you shew us an Ape or a Monkey, that was ever brought to the Acts or Habits before mentioned of Men? |
| A26963 | Whereas were the Soul such as repesented, who could rob it of its Endowments? |
| A26963 | Who can trust the Honesty of such men, as multitudes of Popes, Prelates, and Priests have been? |
| A26963 | Why are you not answerable for the Crimes of every Thief, if all b ● ● one? |
| A26963 | Why did the knees prevent me? |
| A26963 | Why do not Beasts speak as well as Men? |
| A26963 | Why should you think he would not? |
| A26963 | Will they stick at a Lye, that stick not at Blood, or any wickedness? |
| A26963 | Will this make a Captive bear his Captivity, or a Malefactor his Death? |
| A26963 | Yea, of those that were born deaf and dumb? |
| A26963 | You add, how easie it would have been to you to believe as the Church believeth ▪ and not to have immerged your self in these difficulties? |
| A26963 | You add,[ How shall I know the difference between the highest degree of materials, and lowest of immaterials? |
| A26963 | You ask, Is it able to be without it? |
| A26963 | and am I thus rewarded for not believing at a common rate? |
| A26963 | and whether or no all things invisible, and imperceptable to Sense, are accounted such? |
| A26963 | and yet knew God and his Law, and how to name the Creatures, and how to dress and keep the Garden? |
| A26963 | or is it not? |
| A26963 | or what misery are we eapable of, more than what is common to all? |
| A26963 | or why the breasts, that I should suck? |
| A26963 | or[ a man made an house of Bricks, and cemented them with Mortar,& c.]? |
| A26963 | why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly? |
| A26963 | will you thence prove, That he made a Candle burning without fire, or the House without Mortar? |
| A27059 | 15. may have somewhat to this sense;[ And wherefore one? |
| A27059 | Am I not fittest to tell you what I include? |
| A27059 | And I may ask you, Are you not herein a man singular even to admiration? |
| A27059 | And are not those infidels guilty of their fore- fathers sin, in the sense before- mentioned? |
| A27059 | And how can he cause the subjects of his Kingdom to suffer so much without their own desert? |
| A27059 | And if I had that as theirs first, I must by the same reason have more of theirs: And who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? |
| A27059 | And if he might leave it to a serpent necessarily to beget a serpent, why might he not leave it to the will of man to do it freely? |
| A27059 | And if man had chosen such a generation, could his off- spring( if capable) have charged God with cruelty? |
| A27059 | And if the first act of sin were an act of nature, why not also the first act of generation? |
| A27059 | And is all this no punishment? |
| A27059 | And now Sir, was this a task worthy so solemn an invitation before God, and Conscience, and the World? |
| A27059 | And then I would know whether there be any reason why God doth all this against infants, but because he will do it? |
| A27059 | And unless he distinguish of common nature, and the persons nature, what sense hath it? |
| A27059 | And what now shall the poor people do? |
| A27059 | And who dare say that he doth it unjustly, because we are not consenters? |
| A27059 | And who would not endure much misery as a man, rather than be a toad or serpent? |
| A27059 | And yet will you plead thus, as if it were against singularity? |
| A27059 | Are not all Protestants, Papists, Christians, learned Heathens, agreed of the Rule that I gave? |
| A27059 | Are you in good sadness desirous to know whom I mean? |
| A27059 | But did you not see that I before expresly excepted all matters necessary to Salvation from humane trust? |
| A27059 | But what mean you to bring in the intimation, that thus[ the great truths of God will depend on humane suffrages, even whether God shall be God?] |
| A27059 | But when Placaeus said the like, or less, with what a heap of authority doth Rivet( well) overwhelm him? |
| A27059 | But[ wherefore doth a living man complain? |
| A27059 | Can they hope to be wiser than all these Teachers, to discern which of them is in the right? |
| A27059 | Do they think that the Church meaneth only Adam''s sin, by our[ fore- Fathers]? |
| A27059 | For shall not the Judge of all the World do righteously? |
| A27059 | For why else should not natural pravity adhere to the substance which he received from the Virgin? |
| A27059 | How early do they shew an aversness to the work and ends for which they were created? |
| A27059 | How little do the precepts of Parents, or Teachers, and all the means of grace themselves, to conquer it in the most? |
| A27059 | I also intreat you to tell me, whether you differ from me in the rule of counsel which I there gave the ignorant people, or not? |
| A27059 | If my diligence produced never so much more, are you bound to take any more notice of them than you did of all these? |
| A27059 | If there be such a thing as actual sin, how doth that act make us sinners? |
| A27059 | Is it formaliter? |
| A27059 | Is this fit doctrine for a Doctor and Master of a Literate Society? |
| A27059 | It is further objected,[ Moreover, how did we sin in Adam actually, who were never actually in him?] |
| A27059 | It''s objected,[ How could that act be voluntary as to us, which was long past before that we had any will?] |
| A27059 | Martyr,& c. And why? |
| A27059 | May not God''s pleasure bring on us a reputative guilt of Adam''s sin, and not of our neerer Parents? |
| A27059 | Or do they think that they pray for the dead, in Purgatory, Hell, or Heaven? |
| A27059 | Or that by[ not- remembring,] they mean[ not- pardoning, and not- punishing]? |
| A27059 | Or what punishment is the present death of children, to harlots and unnatural persons, that desire to be rid of them? |
| A27059 | Our question extendeth not to the degree of infants punishment, whether they shall have more or less? |
| A27059 | Quis enim non magis filiorum salutem, quam suam curet? |

| A27059 | What punishment to Parents is the everlasting loss or suffering of the children? |
| A27059 | What sort of men in the World are more faulty in tying up mens Faith too much to men, than the Papists are? |
| A27059 | Whether Infants have Original Sin? |
| A27059 | Whether Posterity be guilty of Death, by reason of the Actual sins of their immediate Parents? |
| A27059 | Whether you do well to number Artificial, Logical Definitions controverted by the greatest Divines, with[ the great truths of God?] |
| A27059 | Why did not our Parents propagate us free from the guilt of Adam''s sin? |
| A27059 | Why is causaliter distinguished from formaliter? |
| A27059 | Why might not God leave such a thing to his free will, as well as his own salvation or damnation? |
| A27059 | Why then should a sinner beget a sinner, and corrupted Parents have a corrupted issue? |
| A27059 | Why turn you a Logical case of Defining, into a Theological de re? |

| A27059 | that he died for none but sinners: for what need had the innocent of a satisfaction to Justice, and of a Sacrifice, and Ransome, and Redemption? |

| A26887 | And must have all others believe only because they believed before them? |
| A26887 | And must we quit all that Certainty, to take the same things only on trust from your Pope and his Council? |
| A26887 | And now judge whose faith is more Certain the Protestants or the Papists? |
| A26887 | And shall we not believe a General Council in matter of present fact, and yet must believe them what is Gods word? |
| A26887 | And so is it not a humane faith? |
| A26887 | And then where is our faith? |
| A26887 | And v. 12. he saith[ How are we sure that God saith what we believe? |
| A26887 | And what cogent Evidence bringeth them to all this? |
| A26887 | And what is the Pope and 42. or two hundred Prelates( most of Italy) to such Historical Evidence as this? |
| A26887 | And where hath the Pope or Council given us a Grammar or Lexicon to know the true sense of words by, for the future? |
| A26887 | And who can be Certain of Gods word by an Authority which is it self so uncertain? |
| A26887 | And( mark Reader) can any man be sure that he speaks true as Pope or Christs Vicar, that never knew that he was Pope or Christs Vicar? |
| A26887 | As to pretend that God hath given them a judicial power, to tell us whether the Statutes of England are true or spurious? |
| A26887 | Because millions deny the perception of all mens Senses and Intellects thereby, are not things sensible demonstrable or evident? |

| A26887 | It is but few persons in the world that ever saw and consulted with a Pope and a General Council? |
| A26887 | It never saith to the world[ You must know by the Judgement of Peter, or the Pope and a General Council what is the word of God] Did Christ forget it? |
| A26887 | May he judge that there is a God or no God, a Christ or no Christ, a Heaven or no Heaven, a Scripture or none, at his pleasure? |
| A26887 | Most confess that the Pope himself may err? |
| A26887 | Must I not know that[ He that believeth shall be saved] is truly translated out of the Original, till the Pope determine it? |
| A26887 | Must I not receive the Creed, Lords- Prayer, or Decalogue by all other Evidence till his word cometh in? |
| A26887 | Non nisi quia sic tenet Ecclesia? |
| A26887 | O that you could lay by partiality and base selfish respects but for one day or hour? |
| A26887 | Only because the Church so holdeth?] |
| A26887 | Or Constantine the Great professed Christianity? |
| A26887 | Or Iustin wrote his Apologie? |
| A26887 | Or Origen was a professed Christian? |
| A26887 | Or are you sure they are none? |
| A26887 | Or can any man believe that Christ hath an Infallible Vicar before he believe in Christ himself, and that he is Infallible? |
| A26887 | Scripture it self never mentioneth this Method or Evidence: And would it be silent of the only way of Certainty? |
| A26887 | Take you that Certainty: we will have none of it: Or is he only to Iudge truly, and then only to be believed? |
| A26887 | Then I must throw away Certainty for uncertainty? |
| A26887 | This, his blind supposition called me to premise; that you may see how far Papists and we are or are not agreed that all Gods Revelations are true? |
| A26887 | Till the Council of Nice, for above 300. years the world was without a General Council: And were they without faith? |
| A26887 | To see all this difference and darkness, and not vouchsafe to speak a few words, or write one Infallible Commentary to end them? |
| A26887 | Was it not the Romane Emperours that called the Councils? |
| A26887 | We must believe that thus every wicked Pope and the Prelates of the major vote in his packt Councils have this Inspiration? |
| A26887 | We thank them for notthing: Can not we know that there is a God, and a Christ, till the Pope judge it? |
| A26887 | Were not all the Patriarchs only in one Empire? |
| A26887 | What Certainty then can they give us? |
| A26887 | What Certainty we have what is a real Revelation of God? |
| A26887 | What Certainty we have what is a real Revelation of God? |
| A26887 | What Unity in faith may be expected? |
| A26887 | What are the Revelations of God about which our Controversies lie? |
| A26887 | What do you make a Pope to be but the Vicar of Christ? |
| A26887 | What if the Question among us were whether ever Paul was at Rome? |
| A26887 | What is it that your Pope and Councils are to determine? |
| A26887 | What matter of Fact is? |
| A26887 | What need Lucas Brugensis, Alba, and so many others search after this with so much industry if the Pope have determined it? |
| A26887 | What need any other proof than your oft mentioned denial of Bread in the Eucharist? |
| A26887 | What then shall we believe? |
| A26887 | What wanted that at Basil? |
| A26887 | What was Caranzas''s fault that he is blamed for? |
| A26887 | When in a Council the major part carry it by vote( perhaps by one or a few) How shall we be sure that all the minor part were deceived? |
| A26887 | Where are all the Translators differences reconciled by the decision of Pope or Council? |
| A26887 | Where have they determined which are the right among all the various Readings? |
| A26887 | Where have they determined, which are the true Copies of the Hebrew and Greek Text? |
| A26887 | Where the Nature and Conditions of Objective and Subjective, Sensible and Intelligible Certainty are opened? |
| A26887 | Where then is your Certainty? |
| A26887 | Whether ever there were such Kings or Parliaments as made them? |
| A26887 | Whether it be true that the Papists grant us, that all Divine Revelations are true? |
| A26887 | Whether there can be a Demonstrative knowledge of Morals? |
| A26887 | Which of the various Copies of Canons are true which are given us oft by the same Author? |
| A26887 | Who knoweth what alterations the Index expurgatorius( not infallible) maketh in the books? |
| A26887 | Why will not an implicite belief in Christ go as far as yours? |
| A26887 | You destroy or greatly discredit the Grand Evidence of the Christian faith, even Miracles: How then can your faith be the most Certain? |
| A26887 | and why may not the major part of the Church be sure as well as he? |
| A26887 | any further extended? |
| A26887 | or whether ever God said true to man? |
| A69536 | And are not the Souls of such as you call humorous, peevish, or wilful, worth more than some of that which you call your Liberty? |
| A69536 | And did the fear of bringing Persecution on others hinder them? |
| A69536 | And did they forbear for fear of bringing Persecution on Dissenters? |
| A69536 | And hath the Protestant Religion been secured and advantaged by our usage? |
| A69536 | And if so, is it no subordinate obedience that is due to Parents and other Superiors? |
| A69536 | And if the Question be, Whether this be formal Obedience, or only material? |
| A69536 | And if to save such an one you would not so much as deny any of your liberty for him, what would you do for him at all? |
| A69536 | And is not this a Natural Common Duty? |
| A69536 | And must we not labour hard, and suffer much, for to win such Souls? |
| A69536 | And must you have Lordships, great maintenance, reverence, honour, and obedience, for needless preaching? |
| A69536 | And should not the Soul of a Sinner be as compassionately saved by us as his Body, as far as we are able, and at as dear a rate? |
| A69536 | And that when the Fire consumed the Churches, and when in many Parishes the tenth part of the People have no Church to go to? |
| A69536 | And we are commanded to pray, Forgive our enemies, persecutors, and slanderers, and turn their hearts: And must we pray, and not endeavour? |
| A69536 | And we would ask them, Whether they live not themselves in the practice of the contrary? |
| A69536 | And whether so to do would deserve honour and preferment, and to do otherwise be a Crime that deserveth silencing, and ruine? |
| A69536 | Are not Souls more worth than Bodies? |
| A69536 | Are they not worth more than a Pipe of Tobacco, or a Cup of Sack, or a Stage- play, or a needless Ceremony; which you account part of your Liberty? |
| A69536 | Are they pleased with well- doing, and with that which promoteth the Protestant interest, and mans salvation? |
| A69536 | Are they willing that so many of the English Non- conformists shall have leave to preach Christ''s Gospel freely, as never had any hand in the Wars? |
| A69536 | Are things lawful none of the[ All things?] |

| A69536 | Do not all Sects, even Quakers, meet at the Place and Time which their Leaders do appoint them? |
| A69536 | Do they not command their own Servants and Children things or circumstances antecedently indifferent? |
| A69536 | Do they not hear the words which the Leader chuseth for their Ears? |
| A69536 | Do you not thus reproach Christ, that set a higher price on Souls, when you value them not at the price of a Cup of Drink? |
| A69536 | Do you think that the Devil and the Papists had rather we were silenced, or not? |
| A69536 | Doth he believe the immortality of Souls who will say so? |
| A69536 | Doth not God beneficently love his Enemies; even the sinful, the humorous, the proud, and the peevish? |
| A69536 | Doth not God welcome such Prodigals when they return, Luke 16. and call, invite, and intreat them to return? |
| A69536 | Doth not the Law of Nature oblige us to love our Neighbour as our selves? |
| A69536 | Doth not this doleful Doctrine tell Men consequently, that they should seek to save the Soul of no Sinner in the World? |
| A69536 | Hast thou faith? |
| A69536 | Hath not this Reason( to keep others from Persecution) prevailed with us far enough and long enough? |
| A69536 | If a Man be against one Schoolmaster only over a thousand Schools, shall he be reproached because he is willing to teach one? |
| A69536 | If it be that we Preach worse than others, or Preach Sedition, or unsound Doctrine, why are not we accused of it, and judged upon proof? |
| A69536 | If not, doth this Religion of yours much commend it self to the Nature of Mankind? |
| A69536 | If the Question be, whether any Ruler have power to Command a thing which would be no Duty, but indifferent, if he did not Command it? |
| A69536 | If you say that our preaching is needless, Is not your own then as needless, if you preach the same Gospel? |
| A69536 | Is a King in each Kingdom as unreasonable a thing as a Papal Monarch, or a King of Kings, and of all the Earth? |
| A69536 | Is a Parish a Multitude of such Churches? |
| A69536 | Is not Love the fulfilling of the Law, and the End of the Gospel, and Faith working by Love, the Sum of Christian Religion? |
| A69536 | Is not that Man perfectly holy? |
| A69536 | Is not this such Carnal Policy, as if not repented of, will perish with the Masters of it? |
| A69536 | Is silencing us our suffering most, or the Peoples? |
| A69536 | Is there not joy in Heaven for their Repentance? |
| A69536 | Must we tempt men to think that we are Seekers, Quakers, Separatists, Anabaptists, lest we expose them to Persecution? |
| A69536 | Nor any thing but keeping them from preaching the Doctrine of Salvation? |
| A69536 | Or is he that writeth this fit to report us of the other mind, unfit for subjection, or Humane Society? |
| A69536 | Shall we have no pity on Mens guilty Souls? |
| A69536 | Should not every thing be valued according to its worth? |
| A69536 | That is, whether Duty be Sin, whether Life be Death, and Light be Darkness? |
| A69536 | WHether things antecedently lawful do therefore become unlawful, because commanded by Lawful Authority? |
| A69536 | Was it for matter of War that near two Thousand Ministers were ejected, or silenced, 1662? |
| A69536 | We protest against the persecution of sober godly Christians, on the account of such differences; and are we then guilty of what we deprecate? |
| A69536 | What Moralities, what Untruths, Injustice, and Unmercifulness is it pregnant with? |
| A69536 | Whether their way of Exposition, or ours, tend more to promote Perjury and Equivocation; and which more secureth Truth and Honesty? |
| A69536 | Whether there be need of much Learning, Conscience, or Honesty, to stretch the words from their ordinary sense, more than to do otherwise? |
| A69536 | Whether we owe not that honour to our Law- makers, as to suppose that they are able, and willing, to speak intelligibly? |
| A69536 | Who is it that hath not as great sin as some humorous, or peevish stumbling at some lawful thing? |
| A69536 | Why should Men be feigned so mad, as to argue at this rate? |
| A69536 | Why should no other penalty serve in this case, but silencing us? |
| A69536 | Would not punishing the innocent, as Drunkards or Whoremongers are punished, satisfie you? |
| A69536 | Would they have us either by speech or silence draw men to believe, that we are of all mens minds whom we would save from Persecution? |
| A69536 | Would you deny none of these to save many Souls? |
| A69536 | Would you have God care no more for your soul, and value it at no higher a rate? |
| A69536 | Would you have it believed that they are purchased by his Blood? |

| A69536 | and must we not in compassion speak for peace, but only say as Christ, Father forgive them, for they know not what they do? |
| A69536 | or for something else? |
| A69536 | or his House, who would set it on fire? |
| A69536 | or to four persons in a Village, than to thousands in Cities? |

| A26909 | Did he think these things need no proof at all? |
| A26909 | Did not all Churches hold and practise this after, and was it none of Gods Institution? |
| A26909 | Do not men owe duty to their Pastors which they owe to no others? |
| A26909 | Do the Free- holders of Belford- shire choose Knights for Middlesex; or the Citizens of Oxford choose Officers in London? |

| A26909 | Do you Swear Canonical obedience as much to the Bishop of Paris, or Ha ● ● nia,& c. as to your Ordinary? |
| A26909 | Do you yet see no Priviledges that one hath Proper, and not common to all? |
| A26909 | Do your Bishops in Convocation make Canon Laws for all the World? |
| A26909 | Have they all things common? |
| A26909 | How are your Parish or Diocesan Church members known to your selves or any others? |
| A26909 | How far are the Vniversal Church and Particular Churches distinct? |
| A26909 | How few in England separate not from the Church as far as this disobedience amounts to? |
| A26909 | How many Ages in above 23 Duplicates or Schisms, was the World uncertain which was the true Pope? |

| A26909 | If it be every transient Communicant, have you a proper Pastoral care of every Travellers Soul that so communicates with you? |
| A26909 | If many Students may make one Colledge, why may not many Colledges make one University? |
| A26909 | If not, put them not on it: Why are you angry with them for going from you? |
| A26909 | If not, why are all the Nonconformists cast out that offer to officiate and Communicate on such terms as are common to all sound Churches? |
| A26909 | If one from York or Cornwall come into your Pulpit without consent, do People stand as much related to him as to you? |

| A26909 | Quo reneam nodo,& c. How should one deal with such slippery men? |
| A26909 | Reader, doth not this man here confess that there are particular Churches? |
| A26909 | Then the Baptized are still in Communion with the Church, till their baptism be nullified: And hath he proved us Apostates? |

| A26909 | if yea, then is it against Baptism to promise to do our duty? |
| A26909 | is it all difference in the Essentials of Christianity? |
| A26909 | or for any man to have Title against his will, to the proper oversight and pastoral care of any one Pastor, or the priviledges of any Church? |
| A26909 | or if they mistake one or more mens Commission, do they therefore separate from the Catholick Church? |
| A26909 | or is the damning dangerous Engine made since?) |

| A69538 | 1, Your Spirits are Christs own: And may you not trust him with his own? |
| A69538 | 15. and will he not receive his friends? |
| A69538 | 16 And wilt thou disown and refuse the soul that thou hast sealed?] |
| A69538 | 9, Consider, How nearly thou art related to him in this state of Grace: Thou art his Child; and hath he not the bowels of a Father? |
| A69538 | After so many receptions in the way of Grace, dost thou yet doubt of his Receiving thee? |
| A69538 | And by what gift could he better testifie his love? |
| A69538 | And for whom doth he provide this Heavenly Building not made with hands, but for Believers? |
| A69538 | And how much more would it please his enmity, to have power to torment our Souls? |
| A69538 | And may we not comfortably go to him that loveth us? |
| A69538 | And may we not trust him in his undertaken office, that would trust a Physician or any other in his office, if we judge him faithful? |
| A69538 | And shall he not then dwell with God for ever? |
| A69538 | And will he now forget his love, and sufferings, and himself forsake thee after this? |
| A69538 | And will he now take from thee the Kingdom which he hath given thee? |
| A69538 | And will you do this about so great a matter as the everlasting state of your immortal Souls? |
| A69538 | And wilt thou deny to receive me to that glory, who pray but for what thou hast prayed to thy Father? |
| A69538 | Are you provided, certainly provided whither to go, and who shall Receive you when your Stewardship is ended, and you must needs go hence? |
| A69538 | As he came down in flesh to be a Suitor to thee, so he caused thee to let go all for him; and will he now forsake thee? |
| A69538 | But how much More of Christ is there in our suffering for his Cause and Truth? |
| A69538 | Can that Love now thrust me out of Heaven, that lately fetch''d me from the gates of Hell, and placed me among thy Saints? |
| A69538 | Can that love which washed me, and took we home, when I lay wallowing in my Blood, reject me, when it hath so far recovered me? |
| A69538 | Christ teacheth us our duty by the parable of the Steward, that asketh himself before- hand, What he shall do when he must be no longer Steward? |
| A69538 | Consider, if Christ should not receive thy spirit, how unspeakably deplorable thy case will be? |
| A69538 | Did he himself on the Cross, commend his spirit into his Father''s hands, and will he not receive thy spirit when thou at death commendest it to him? |
| A69538 | Did you see how they are treated at their removal from the flesh? |
| A69538 | Do we labour earnestly to come thither, and yet lament that she is there? |
| A69538 | Do you ask, What the Soul is? |
| A69538 | Had you not a lifes time to put these questions? |
| A69538 | Hast thou made sure of that? |
| A69538 | Have you houses, and lands, and offices, and honours, and friends that are very pleasing to you? |
| A69538 | Have you not as much need to be oft and earnest in prayer as they? |
| A69538 | Have you not as much need to pray as those that you hate and reproach for praying? |
| A69538 | How glad was he when God gave him leave but to touch the goods, and children, and body of Job? |
| A69538 | How ready is he to receive us to perdition, if Christ refuse us, and receive us not to Salvation? |
| A69538 | How sad is it to observe that those that have most need of Prayer, have least mind to Pray, as being least sensible of their needs? |
| A69538 | How would you receive your Son, or Husband, the next day after some bloody Fight, where he had escaped with the Victory? |
| A69538 | I know thou wilt be ready to say, that thou art unworthy,[ Will he receive so unworthy a Soul as mine?] |
| A69538 | If such Sermons and Discourses as foretel it are troublesom to thee, what then will that sad Experience be? |
| A69538 | If the ungodly go to Heaven, what use is Hell for? |
| A69538 | If thou do well, shalt thou not be accepted? |
| A69538 | If we can suffer with her, should we not rejoyce also with her? |
| A69538 | If you ask, What that is? |
| A69538 | Is the World worth all thy Care and Labour, and shall less be called too much ado, when it is for thy precious Soul? |
| A69538 | Is thy Soul no more worth than Honour, or Wealth, or foolish Mirth? |
| A69538 | Is thy Soul so base, as not to be worth the care and labour of a Holy Life? |
| A69538 | It you ask me, How may so happy a Preparation be made? |
| A69538 | Must we not be uncloathed, before the garments of Glory can be put on? |
| A69538 | O but my sins are great and many; and will Christ ever receive so ignorant, so earthly and impure a Soul as mine? |
| A69538 | Or send his Word and Ministers to promote it, if they may come to heaven unsanctified? |
| A69538 | Or will he justifie us, and yet not receive us? |
| A69538 | Or your Child, or Friend, that arrived safely after a long and a dangerous Voyage? |
| A69538 | Should Angels attend us as ministring Spirits, if we had not Spirits fit to minister to God? |
| A69538 | Should I care whether I Live at liberty or in prison, when I am ready to die, and have matters of infinite moment before me, to take me up? |
| A69538 | Should Ministers be appointed to preach, and pray, and labour for us, if we had not Souls to save or lose? |
| A69538 | Should such store of Mercies be provided for us? |
| A69538 | Should we be called the Spouse and the Members of Christ? |
| A69538 | Then thou wilt think, O whither am I going? |
| A69538 | Thou art his Spouse, betrothed to him the very day when thou consentedst to his Covenant; and where then shouldst thou live but with him? |
| A69538 | Thou hast dwelt in me here by faith; and shall I not now dwell with thee? |
| A69538 | To what use doth Christ send the Holy- Ghost to sanctifie his Elect? |
| A69538 | Were it not for our immortal Souls, would God ever honour us with such Relations to him, as to be his Children? |
| A69538 | What his Receiving them is? |
| A69538 | What must I endure? |
| A69538 | What need Christ then to have shed his blood, or become a sacrifice for sin? |
| A69538 | What remaineth now, but that all we that furvive, especially you that are her Children, do follow her as she followed Christ? |
| A69538 | What sayst thou? |
| A69538 | What would you need most if the day were come? |
| A69538 | Why art thou wroth? |
| A69538 | Why then should you not comfortably trust him with your Souls? |
| A69538 | Will Christ receive it? |
| A69538 | Will he deprive thee of thy Birth- right, who himself begot thee of the incorruptible Seed? |
| A69538 | Will he not justifie those at last, whom he hath here justified? |
| A69538 | Will you not knock till the door is shut? |
| A69538 | Will you now be wordlings, and sensualists, and ungodly, and undo your selves, and then cry[ Lord Jesus receive my Spirit] at the last? |
| A69538 | Will you say, that you hope well, and you must venture? |
| A69538 | Wilt thou receive Christ now, or not? |
| A69538 | Wilt thou take up this Resolution, and make this Covenant with God this day? |
| A69538 | Would he be at so much cost upon us? |
| A69538 | Would the Spirit of God himself dwell in us, and quicken and beautifie us with his Grace? |
| A69538 | Would you not run and meet him, and with joy embrace him, if he had been many years absent, and were now come home? |
| A69538 | Yet the door of grace is open: But how speedily will it be shut? |
| A69538 | [ Depart from me ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the Devil and his Angels]? |
| A69538 | and in following him in a mortified self- denying life, then in following him in the path that he hath trodden upon earth? |
| A69538 | and is answerable to thine Omnipotency, Omniscience, and other Attributes? |
| A69538 | and should you not long ago have got them satisfactorily resolved? |
| A69538 | and who is the God of Love? |
| A69538 | and why is thy countenance faln? |
| A69538 | and yet canst thou exclude thine own, and shut them out that cry unto thee? |
| A69538 | or cast into the burning lake? |
| A69538 | receive an unholy Spirit? |
| A69538 | why should we doubt whether he will receive us? |
| A69538 | will Love refuse us when we fly unto him? |

| A26986 | And they Worshipped the Beast, saying, Who is like unto the Beast? |
| A26986 | And why so I pray? |
| A26986 | And why so? |
| A26986 | Are any of these things vacated, not to be heeded, attended to? |
| A26986 | Are not all Attempts of such a Nature worthy to be scorned, derided at, as acts of the greatest Folly, and desperate Madness? |
| A26986 | Are not the rules of Christ prosecuted, till they( appearing to be persons of a reprobate mind) are rejected out of their fellowship? |
| A26986 | Are not the same Laws, delivered to the Apostles, recorded in the Scriptures? |
| A26986 | Are not these last, as much the charge, Law of Christ to his people, as the former? |
| A26986 | Are they come to a Perfect man, unto the measure of the Stature of the fulness of Christ? |
| A26986 | Are they gathered, constituted of visibly prophane persons? |
| A26986 | Are they not at all concern''d in them? |
| A26986 | But what was the issue? |
| A26986 | But what''s the Issue? |
| A26986 | But why here but two Candlesticks? |
| A26986 | Can he depart from it? |
| A26986 | Can their corrupt Doctrines be charged as the Doctrines of the Churches? |
| A26986 | Can they be charged with walking contrary to their principles in this matter? |
| A26986 | Can they pull the Stars out of the Firmament? |
| A26986 | Denyes the Father, and that supreme? |
| A26986 | Do any principles owned by them, any practices found amongst them declare as much? |
| A26986 | Do they admit persons of so black a character into their Communion? |
| A26986 | Do they justify, plead for, any Pollutions amongst them? |
| A26986 | Do they not all of them, with full consent, proclaim their abhorrency of such a Foundation? |

| A26986 | Doth this destroy his Saint- ship? |
| A26986 | For, who told them that they deny the Power? |
| A26986 | Hath he forgotten to be gracious? |
| A26986 | Have Saints no further need of edification, building up? |
| A26986 | Have the Laws of CHRIST, by their being written, lost their Authority? |
| A26986 | He had then Power, Authority, to confirm, remove, abolish as he pleased; and none could say unto him in this matter, What dost thou? |
| A26986 | How doth he discover his unwillingness to leave them? |
| A26986 | How doth he seem to hover over them? |
| A26986 | How is Jehovah by word, providential Dispensations crying aloud to them, to be zealous, Repent, return? |

| A26986 | Is God unfaithful? |
| A26986 | Is he not faithful? |
| A26986 | Is he upon a new discovery of the Fathers will, pouring contempt upon what hath been Revealed by Christ? |
| A26986 | Is it lawful to omit that Duty, in our Closets, retirements; because we enjoy not God in it? |
| A26986 | Is it not the avowed principles of all the Churches, that such as these, are not fit matter for any Church of Christ? |
| A26986 | Is it not the duty of Saints to praise the Lord; and to praise him in the wayes he hath appointed? |
| A26986 | Is it thus with her now? |
| A26986 | Is it, because they are gathered by the authority of man, driven together by penal Sanctions? |

| A26952 | 29. then they cry out, Sirs, what shall I do to be saved? |
| A26952 | 4 Will you for the time to come, make Conscience of daily and earnest Prayer to God, that you may have a part in Christ and Salvation? |
| A26952 | 6. trembling and astonished, Paul cries out, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? |
| A26952 | And if so, what wonder if they perish by their contempt? |
| A26952 | And is not Christ worth the seeking? |
| A26952 | Are all that hear me this day certain they shall be saved? |
| A26952 | Are you no more near or dear to your selves, than to make light of your own happiness or misery? |
| A26952 | Are you resolved to let them go? |
| A26952 | Are you turned your own Enemies? |
| A26952 | As a Man, what art thou but a worm to God? |
| A26952 | But when hear we such Questions? |
| A26952 | But when we speak to Blocks and dead Men, how should we be regarded? |
| A26952 | Can you do it better when sin hath more hardned it, and God may have given thee over to thy self? |
| A26952 | Can you escape without a Christ? |
| A26952 | Can you find fault if you miss of the Salvation which you slighted? |
| A26952 | Consider 4. Who is it that sends this weighty Message to you? |
| A26952 | Do not some of your consciences by this time smite you, and say, I am the Man that have made light of my Salvation? |
| A26952 | Do not the negligent studies of some speak it out? |
| A26952 | Do not these make light of Christ and Salvation? |
| A26952 | Do not those then make light of Christ and Salvation, that shun the mention of his name, unless it be in a vain or sinful use? |
| A26952 | Do not those then make light of Christ and Salvation, that think of them so seldom and coldly in comparison of other things? |
| A26952 | Do you mean to set as light by Christ and Salvation as hitherto you have done? |
| A26952 | Do you not see by this time what a case that Soul is in that maketh light of Christ and Salvation? |
| A26952 | Do you think that Christ shed his blood to save them that continue to make light of it? |
| A26952 | Doth it not behove you beforehand to think of these things? |
| A26952 | Doth not that Soul make light of all these, that thinks his ease more worth than they? |
| A26952 | Doth not the carelesness of some mens private endeavours discover it? |
| A26952 | Doth not the continued neglect of those things wherein the Interest of Christ consisteth, discover it? |
| A26952 | Doth not the covetous and worldly lives of too many discover it, losing advantages for mens souls, for a little gain to themselves? |
| A26952 | Doth not their dead and drousie Preaching declare it? |
| A26952 | For as to their own Glory, it is but a smoak: what matter is it whether you live poor or rich, unless it were a greater matter to dye rich than it is? |
| A26952 | God will judge impartially; why should not we do so? |
| A26952 | Have you found a better friend, a greater and surer happiness than this? |
| A26952 | Have you gone to them and told them the doubtfulness of your case, and asked their help in the judging of your condition? |
| A26952 | Have you no body to enquire of that might help you in such a Work? |
| A26952 | How great was the evil and misery that he delivered us from? |
| A26952 | How seriously do they talk of the World? |
| A26952 | How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation? |
| A26952 | How shall we escape, if we neglect so great Salvation? |
| A26952 | How will these despisers of Christ and Salvation be able one day to look him in the face, and to give an account of these neglects? |
| A26952 | How will ye escape the Damnation of Hell? |
| A26952 | How would their hearts melt before the Power of the Gospel? |
| A26952 | If not, when you know''t is the will of Christ, and he hath told you, such shall not enter into his Kingdom, do not you make light of him? |
| A26952 | If thou canst make thine own Heart willing, why is it not done now? |
| A26952 | If you will not be perswaded to this much, how can you say that you make not light of Christ and Salvation? |
| A26952 | If you will not, are not you slighters of Christ, and Salvation, that will not be perswaded soberly to think on them? |
| A26952 | In the Name of God Brethren, I beseech you to consider how you will then bear his Anger which you now make light of? |
| A26952 | Is Dives then any better than Lazarus? |
| A26952 | Is Self- love lost? |
| A26952 | Is it not God himself? |
| A26952 | Is it not your own? |
| A26952 | Is not everlasting Salvation worth more than all this? |
| A26952 | Is that a Man or a Corps that is not affected with matters of this moment? |
| A26952 | Is that a Man, or a Clod of Clay, that can rise and lie down without being deeply affected with his everlasting Estate? |
| A26952 | It is no less than Miracles of love and mercy that he hath shewed to us; and yet shall we slight them after all? |
| A26952 | Oh Sirs, If men made not light of these things, what workings would there be in the hearts of all our hearers? |
| A26952 | Or will you shew that you are slighters of Christ by neglecting them? |
| A26952 | Shall the God of Heaven speak, and Men make light of it? |
| A26952 | Some Men understand not the very sense of the Words of the Gospel, when they hear it, and how can they be taken with that which they understand not? |
| A26952 | That can be readier to sleep than to tremble, when he heareth how he must stand at the Bar of God? |
| A26952 | That provide outward necessaries so carefully for their Families, but do so little to the saving of their Souls? |
| A26952 | They must have their pleasure, whatsoever becomes of Christ and Salvation: As if they could live without Christ better than without these? |
| A26952 | What are these things you set so much by, as to prefer them before Christ and the saving of your Souls? |
| A26952 | What barbarous, yea devilish, yea worse then devilish Ingratitude is this? |
| A26952 | What do you think when you repeat the Creed, and mention Christ''s Judgment and everlasting Life? |
| A26952 | What say you? |
| A26952 | What say you? |
| A26952 | What then is he that sets light by Christ? |
| A26952 | What think you now friends of this business? |
| A26952 | What this Sin of making light of the Gospel is? |
| A26952 | What will this babler say? |
| A26952 | What wonder if for all that we can say or do, our hearers still set light by Christ and their own Salvation; when the Apostles hearers did the same? |
| A26952 | When they are once pricked in their hearts for sin and misery, then they cry out, Men and Brethren, what shall we do? |
| A26952 | Whose Salvation is it that you make light of? |
| A26952 | Why Sirs, If you had every one a Kingdom in your hopes, what were it in comparison of the everlasting Kingdom? |
| A26952 | Why Sirs, do you not care whether you be saved or damned? |
| A26952 | Why will you not judge now, as you know you shall judge then? |
| A26952 | Will he then be worth ten thousand Worlds, and is he not now worth your highest Estimation, and dearest Affection? |
| A26952 | Will you do all this with delight, not as your toyl, but as your pleasure? |
| A26952 | Will you do these things? |
| A26952 | Will you for the time to come esteem more of the Officers of Christ, whom he he hath purposely appointed to guide you to Salvation? |
| A26952 | Will you for the time to come make Christ and Salvation the chiefest matter of your care and study? |
| A26952 | Will you for the time to come, resolvedly cast away your known sins at the command of Christ? |
| A26952 | Will you resolve to stick to Christ, and make sure this work of Salvation, tho''it cost you all that you have in the World? |
| A26952 | Will you therefore attend to the publick preaching of this Word? |
| A26952 | Will you use hereafter to go to your Ministers privately, and sollicite them for advice? |
| A26952 | Would they read and think of these things as they do? |
| A26952 | Would they then hear us as they do? |
| A26952 | You hear Brethren what will not serve the turn; Will you now hear what persons you must be if you would not be condemned as slighters of Christ? |
| A26952 | You know well enough that Death levels all: What matter is it at Judgment, whether you be to answer for the life of a rich man, or a poor man? |
| A26952 | You may say all that other men do of him; What Gospel passages had Balaam? |
| A26952 | and how they will shortly leave you? |
| A26952 | and to be the same men after all this? |
| A26952 | and to save them that value a Cup of Drink or a Lust before his Salvation? |
| A26952 | and what all things in this World are in comparison of your Salvation? |
| A26952 | and what is it that you neglect? |
| A26952 | and what mind you will be then of; and how you will esteem them? |
| A26952 | and will you make use of them for that end? |
| A26952 | and will you obey the Word of God in their Mouths? |
| A26952 | believe that God will shortly judge you, and yet make no more preparation for it? |
| A26952 | can not men be saved without so much ado? |
| A26952 | do not they make light of the Doctrin they preach, that do it as if they were half asleep, and feel not what they speak themselves? |
| A26952 | how little do they when they are out of the Pulpit for the saving of mens Souls? |
| A26952 | how slightly do they reprove Sin? |
| A26952 | or will a despised Christ save you then? |
| A26952 | shall it appear in any good uses that God calls you to be liberal in, according to your Abilities? |
| A26952 | shall the poor find that you set more by Christ than this World? |
| A26952 | that ask of his Service as Judas of the Oyntment; What need this wast? |
| A26952 | that can follow his worldly Business, and make nothing of the great business of Salvation or Damnation; and that when they know it is hard at hand? |
| A26952 | the Devils never had a Saviour offered them, but thou hast, and dost thou yet make light of him? |
| A26952 | the good procured for us? |
| A26952 | they are asleep, and dream that they are happy; but when they awake, what a change will they find? |
| A26952 | what astonishment at the consideration of their misery? |
| A26952 | what do they for Souls? |
| A26952 | what is it that you run after? |
| A26952 | what resolution would be raised in them upon the discovery of their duty? |
| A26952 | what sorrow would be wrought in the discovery of their sin? |
| A26952 | what unspeakable Joy at the glad Tidings of Salvation by the Blood of Christ? |
| A26952 | will you promise me now and then to make it your business to withdraw your selves from the World, and set your selves to such considerations as these? |
| A26952 | will you read it daily? |
| A26952 | will you resolve to obey it whatever it may cost you? |
| A26960 | & dream that it is but some Accident in God? |
| A26960 | 2dly, What if the Question be, whether God be most wise? |
| A26960 | And can none know certainly but those( who be they) that know in such perfection? |
| A26960 | And for the first is it not strange that you should number this with contradictions? |
| A26960 | And how can it be Good to Obey Deceit and Lyes? |
| A26960 | And is not all this then made sure? |
| A26960 | And shall I there begin to make my trial of it? |
| A26960 | And shall no man know any thing certainly till he knoweth all things? |
| A26960 | And shall not this assurance hold me fast against all the snarlings and pratlings of the doating drunken world? |
| A26960 | And what do you think amiss in that? |
| A26960 | And when the Devil is the Father of Lies, what blasphemy is it to charge them on God? |
| A26960 | And will you say therefore that there is no Sanctification or Glorification? |

| A27007 | If it be the Anima Mundi, is it not the Common Nature of all things? |
| A27007 | If it be the Natura Mentalis in genere, is it not as much an Angelical Nature as a Humane? |

| A27007 | If we be not the bighest creatures, why should we think that we have not need of higher? |
| A27007 | If we see not all things put under him, do we see nothing so put? |

| A27007 | Or if the New Earth fall away, did not the holy City consist most of Hypocrites? |
| A27007 | Or must it be none of the particulars, but all connext? |
| A27007 | Or shall they be advanced so far above Christ as a Creature, as to Reign under God for ever when Christ is deposed or extinct? |

| A27007 | The spiritual heavenly Bodies will be apparent for ever; shall they not know and be known even as face to face? |

| A27007 | Which of these words specifie the middle Kingdom from the former and the latter? |
| A27007 | Who shall have it then? |
| A27007 | Why may you not grant it to Christ, as well as to any other? |

| A49757 | Sirs, would you have sickness, and death, and the day of judgement finde you idle? |
| A49757 | So Sirs, Is there not a God in England? |
| A49757 | So when thou art tempted to any sin, remember thy sickness: consider, Wilt thou bring again upon thy self an Ague, Fever, Dropsie, Consumption& c? |
| A49757 | Thirdly, Consider how thou dost hereby abuse thy own body: Is thy body a member of Christ, and thy hands and arms parts of Jesus Christ? |
| A49757 | Well, where lyes the difference? |
| A49757 | What are we? |
| A49757 | What prating ● ellow is this, that by his ignorant talk ● ● rkens my Wisdom, and Justice, and Pro ● ● dence? |
| A49757 | What shall we say to these things? |
| A49757 | What then shall I do when God riseth up? |
| A49757 | What, hath the Devil more care of Christs members, then Christ himself? |
| A49757 | When Calvin was reproved for inordinate labour, he gives this savoury answer: What, saith he, would ye have my Lord finde me idle? |
| A49757 | Wherefore hath the Lord brought us into this land? |
| A49757 | Whose spirit came from thee? |
| A49757 | Why should ye be stricken any more? |
| A49757 | Will thou disanul my judgement? |
| A49757 | and are there not Ministers and Christians to pray for you, who are in league with him, but must you seek to such who are in league with the Devil? |
| A49757 | and canst thou pray better, and sanctifie Sabbaths better, and hear Sermons better? |
| A49757 | and he taketh away, and who can hinder him? |
| A49757 | and is thy discourse better, and thy life better? |
| A49757 | and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him? |
| A49757 | and will you bring a member of Christ to be healed by the Devil? |
| A49757 | and wilt thou by maiming and wounding him, make him less serviceable? |
| A49757 | and wilt thou by thy inhumane and merciless blows mar such a choice piece of Gods workmanship? |
| A49757 | and wilt thou make a member of Christ a murderer? |
| A49757 | are we the causes of thy aches and pains?) |
| A49757 | but to Eternity they will go, and never stay to answer thee; for God taketh away, and who can hinder him? |
| A49757 | canst thou fight with a Fever? |
| A49757 | crying, Who is lord over us? |
| A49757 | how many thousand of mens lives have been lost by drunken souldiers? |
| A49757 | methinks I hear the wrath of God roaring against them; and the Lyon hath roared, who will not fear? |
| A49757 | or art thou stronger then he? |
| A49757 | or condemn thee? |
| A49757 | or hath Christ need of the Devil to help or heal ever a member of his? |
| A49757 | or his life with a drunken Physician? |
| A49757 | or his soul with a drunken Minister? |
| A49757 | or how much punishment sin deserves? |
| A49757 | or how much torment a vessel of wrath can hold? |
| A49757 | or out- run a Consumption? |
| A49757 | or who can say unto him, What dost thou? |
| A49757 | or wrestle with the Falling sickness? |
| A49757 | therefore when thy heart is lifted up in the sense of thy bodily strength, consider, Hast thou an arm like God? |
| A49757 | those Saints are possest of glory, yonder they live and raign; but how shall we do to come among them? |
| A49757 | what a miserable case art thou in? |
| A49757 | wherefore hast thou brought us out of the land of Egypt? |
| A49757 | will you provide him a sumptuous feast, or a rich suit of cloaths, or offer him some place of preferment? |
| A49757 | wilt thou make nothing of my judgement, which in wisdom and counsel I exercise in all my visitations? |
| A49757 | yes that there is; and therefore it is added, What is your life? |
| A27939 | 1 DO you that are in Council met,[ Speak and] determine what is just; And justly judge, ye sons of men,[ Indeed] according to your trust? |
| A27939 | 1 HOw long wilt thou forget me, Lord? |
| A27939 | 1 IN God I put my trust, Why then in scorn say ye, To God for help as silly birds, Unto your mountain flee? |
| A27939 | 1 LOrd, in thy Tabernacle Who shall inhabit still? |
| A27939 | 1 MY God, my God, O why Hast thou forsaken me? |
| A27939 | 1 O God, why hast thou cast us off? |
| A27939 | 1 O Mighty man in wickedness, Why boastest thou[ thy self] with pride? |
| A27939 | 1 PRaise ye the Lord, to him give thanks; He''s good; his mercy is endless: 2 Who can describe his mighty acts? |
| A27939 | 1 THe God of Love my Shepherd is, And he that doth me feed; While he is mine, and I am his, What can I want or need? |
| A27939 | 1 THe King shall joyful be, Lord, in thy strength alone: How greatly shall his heart rejoice In thy salvation? |
| A27939 | 1 THe Lord himself my shepherd is, Who doth me feed and[ safely] keep; What can I want that''s truly good, While I am[ one of] his own sheep? |
| A27939 | 1 THe Lord my Light and Saviour is, Whom[ therefore] shall I need to dread? |
| A27939 | 1 WHy do the rebel Nations rage, And[ People] hatch a vain design? |
| A27939 | 10 Even he that seem''d to cast us off, And wilt not thou[ again] O God, Go forth before our warlike hosts, When they[ to fight] do march abroad? |
| A27939 | 10 How long, Lord, shall the enemy Thee by reproach[ scorn and] prophane, And shall the adversaries thus Always blaspheme thy[ holy] name? |
| A27939 | 10 It''s as a sword within my bones, When thus my foes do me upbraid; When in reproach, Where is thy God,[ To me] I hear it daily said? |
| A27939 | 10 Who is he that is King Of Glory? |
| A27939 | 10 Who will bring me into The City fortify''d? |
| A27939 | 10 Why say the heathen, Where''s their God? |
| A27939 | 10 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? |
| A27939 | 11 And thus they say, How can it be That God all this doth[ note and] know; And that there is in the most high Knowledge of things[ done here] below? |
| A27939 | 11 Even he that cast us off; And wilt not thou, O God, Again go forth before our Hosts, When ● hey do march abroad? |
| A27939 | 11 Is thy love praised in the grave? |
| A27939 | 11 It''s soon cut off, and we are gone, Who knows[ aright] thy powerful wrath? |
| A27939 | 11 Pluck out and shew forth thy right hand, Why dost thou it[ so long] with- hold? |
| A27939 | 11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? |
| A27939 | 12 Are thy great works known in the dark? |
| A27939 | 12 What man desireth length of life, And his own good doth[ wisely] seek? |
| A27939 | 12 What shall I render to the Lord For all his[ bounteous] gifts to me? |
| A27939 | 12 Who can his errors understand? |
| A27939 | 13 For thou my soul hast freed From death so near at had; And wilt not thou uphold me now, And make my feet to stand? |
| A27939 | 13 How long, Lord, shall we feel thy wrath? |
| A27939 | 14 Lord why dost thou cast off my soul? |
| A27939 | 16 But to the wicked man, God saith, My word of truth Should''st thou declare? |
| A27939 | 16 Who will rise up for me against The wicked doer''s[ cruel] band? |
| A27939 | 16 Why leap ye you high hills? |
| A27939 | 17 But Lord, how long wilt thou look on? |
| A27939 | 19 High is thy righteousness O God, And[ very] great things thou hast done; Lord, who may be compar''d with thee? |
| A27939 | 19 Yea, even against the Lord himself They grudging spake prophanely thus: Can God here in this wilderness A furnish''d table spread for us? |
| A27939 | 2 How long shall thoughts disturb my soul, And[ daily] grief my heart assail? |
| A27939 | 2 How long will ye unjustly judge, And favour[ unjust] wicked men? |
| A27939 | 2 I''le wisely walk in perfect way;[ O Lord] when wilt thou come to me? |
| A27939 | 2 Lift up thy self, thou Judge of all, The proud do thou[ check and] reward: 3 How long shall wicked men triumph,[ Even they] that do not God regard? |
| A27939 | 2 O sons of men, how long will ye[ The great] God''s glory vilifie? |
| A27939 | 2 Thou, Lord, art all my strength, Why do I mourning go, As if I were cast off by thee, Oppressed by my foe? |
| A27939 | 2 Why should the heathen people say To us, where is their[ mighty] God? |
| A27939 | 20 If we the Lord''s name have forgot, Or[ any] help from Idols sought; 21 Would not God search this out, who knows The[ very] secrets of our thought? |
| A27939 | 20 Indeed he smote the rock, and thence There flowed streams of waters great; And can he give his people bread, And provide flesh for them to eat? |
| A27939 | 20 Shall the Throne of iniquity Have[ any] fellowship with thee? |
| A27939 | 21 Do I not hate them all, O Lord, Who are thy[ hating] enemies? |
| A27939 | 25 Whom have I in the heav''ns above[ To trust] but thee my God alone? |
| A27939 | 3 How long will ye mischief devise? |
| A27939 | 3 If by their violence Foundations be destroy''d, What can the grieved righteous do The ruins to avoid? |
| A27939 | 3 If in strict Justice thou should''st mark, And charge[ on man] iniquity; Lord, who shall stand at thy just bar? |
| A27939 | 3 Into God''s sacred mount Who''s he that shall ascend? |
| A27939 | 3 Lord, what is man, that thou of him Dost so much[ mindful] notice take? |
| A27939 | 3 My flowing tears have been to me As[ bitter] food both night and day, While with reproach continually,[ To me] where is thy God, they say? |
| A27939 | 3 Say unto God, How- terrible In all thy[ mighty] works art thou? |
| A27939 | 3 What shall be given and done to thee, False mouth, that causeth[ others] wrong? |
| A27939 | 31 For who is God except the Lord? |
| A27939 | 37 Who s''s word can stand, when God gain- says? |
| A27939 | 39 Why should a man, chastis''d for sin, Who''s yet alive[ grudge and] complain? |
| A27939 | 4 Have all these men of wicked works No[ wit or] knowledge left at all? |
| A27939 | 4 Have all these men of wicked works No[ wit or] knowledge left at all? |
| A27939 | 4 How shall we sing God''s sacred songs, Thus[ Captives] in a foreign land? |
| A27939 | 4 Like Rams the mountains, and like Lambs The little hills skipt to and fro: 5 O Sea, what made thee thus to flee? |
| A27939 | 4 Lord God of Hosts, how long wilt thou Thus in thy[ burning] anger smoak? |
| A27939 | 4 Shall they still speak false and hard things, And[ their tongues] utter cruelty? |
| A27939 | 4 Then say I, what is man, that thou Of him hast[ daily] mindful been? |
| A27939 | 46 How long, Lord, shall it ever be That thou wilt hide thy self in ire? |
| A27939 | 47 Remember how short is the time That I must here on earth remain; Wherefore hast thou all mortal men Made to live here as meerly vain? |
| A27939 | 48 What man is he that liveth here, And fatal Death shall never see? |
| A27939 | 49 The former loving kindnesses Which thou, O Lord, to him didst bear, Where are they now? |
| A27939 | 5 How great, O Lord, are all thy works? |
| A27939 | 5 How long, Lord,( O not evermore) Shall this thine anger[ towards us] last? |
| A27939 | 5 In ill encourage they themselves, And commune how[ closely] to lay Their snares for to entrap the just, For who[ our plots] shall see, say they? |
| A27939 | 5 Mine enemies speak and wish me ill, And say,[ How long] when will he dye? |
| A27939 | 5 O Lord my God, how many are The wonders thou[ for us] hast wrought? |
| A27939 | 5 O who is like to our great God? |
| A27939 | 5 Shall thy displeasure last Against us without end? |
| A27939 | 5 What hast thou wanted that is good, To satisfie[ thy just] desire? |
| A27939 | 5 Why art thou so cast down, my soul,[ And why] so troubled and dismaid? |
| A27939 | 5 Why art thou, O my soul, Cast down? |
| A27939 | 6 For in the heav''ns themselves who may With thee, the only Lord, compare? |
| A27939 | 6 The mighty Lord is on my side,[ Of men] I will not be afraid; Whatever mortal man can do,[ At it] why should I be dismay''d? |
| A27939 | 6 This knowledge high''s above my reach,[ It is] too wonderful for me: 7 Whither shall I go from thy face? |
| A27939 | 6 Wilt thou not us restore, And quicken us, that we Who are thy people, evermore In thee may joyful be? |
| A27939 | 6 Ye mountains great, what was the cause That made you thus to skip like Rams? |
| A27939 | 7 And now, O Lord, what wait I for? |
| A27939 | 7 For ever will the Lord cast off? |
| A27939 | 7 O God, how precious is thy love? |
| A27939 | 7 Thall they escape so well In this their wicked path? |
| A27939 | 7 Thou, and thou only, glorious God, Art he that all should[ greatly] fear; And who can stand before thy face, If[ once but] angry thou appear? |
| A27939 | 8 For ever is his mercy gone? |
| A27939 | 8 O thou that art the Lord of Hosts, What Lord like thee with strength is crown''d? |
| A27939 | 8 Thou dost my wandrings tell, Let down thy bottle, Lord, And put in there each briny tear, Are they not on record? |
| A27939 | 8 Who is this Glorious King? |
| A27939 | 8 Ye brutish people understand,[ Ye fools] when will ye wiser grow? |
| A27939 | 84 How many are thy Servant''s days? |
| A27939 | 9 By what means may a young man best His life learn to amend? |
| A27939 | 9 Can it be that his graciousness[ To us] the Lord forgotten hath? |
| A27939 | 9 I said, what gain is in my blood, If to the[ feared] grave I go: Doth silent dust there speak thy praise? |
| A27939 | 9 I''le say to God, My Rock, O why Am I[ of thee] forgotten so? |
| A27939 | 9 In God and his salvation then My soul shall[ glad and] joyful be; 10 My very flesh and bones shall say, Lord, who[ or what] is like to thee? |
| A27939 | 9 Shall he not hear who made the ear? |
| A27939 | 9 Who is he that will bring me in The City[ strong and] fortify''d? |
| A27939 | Against thy pasture- sheep why doth Thy[ heavy] anger smoak so sore? |
| A27939 | Against thy peoples humble prayer Who do thy[ sacred] Name invoke? |
| A27939 | And am not I grived with those That[ madly] up against thee rise? |
| A27939 | And if premeditated, they must be some way imposed; How else shall the Congregations all joyn in the same? |
| A27939 | And in his place of holiness Who shall accepted stand? |
| A27939 | And shall thy wrath unreconcil''d Consume and burn us up as fire? |
| A27939 | And that his tender mercies he Hath shut up now in[ endless] wrath? |
| A27939 | And to all generations Wilt thou thy wrath extend? |
| A27939 | And what''s the son of man, that thou[ So much] regard''st and visit''st him? |
| A27939 | And who is he that from the grave Can his own life save and set free? |
| A27939 | And who will into Edom''s Land My conquering Army guide? |
| A27939 | And who will into Edom''s land[ Me and] my conquering armies guide? |
| A27939 | And whom on earth do I desire[ And seek?] |
| A27939 | And whom wilt thou receive to dwell In thy most holy hill? |
| A27939 | And why with grief[ so much] opprest? |
| A27939 | And[ will he] gracious be no more? |
| A27939 | But are not the Psalms sufficiently by Translation and Metre, already fitted to the Churches use? |
| A27939 | Doth death thy faithfulness declare? |
| A27939 | Doth dust declare thy Majesty, Or yet thy[ grace and] truth doth praise? |
| A27939 | Doth it thy[ truth and] mercy show? |
| A27939 | Even near thy holy Altars they May make their safe abode; And why not I, seeing thou art My King and only God? |
| A27939 | Fails his[ good] word[ for] evermore? |
| A27939 | He that all knowledge teacheth man, What can[ from him] concealed be? |
| A27939 | How great their sum? |
| A27939 | How long shall cruel enemies[ By pow''r] thus over me prevail? |
| A27939 | How long will ye love vanity, And seek and trust a[ flatt''ring] lie? |
| A27939 | How long wilt thou displeasedly Thus hide thy[ pleased] face from me? |
| A27939 | How low shall they triumph and boast, Who[ plot and] work iniquity? |
| A27939 | Jordan, why didst thou backward go? |
| A27939 | Learn and be wise, Will only ye The Rebels be, And God despise? |
| A27939 | May they not as well scruple reading or saying them in Prose? |
| A27939 | Nor[ all things] see, that form''d the eye? |
| A27939 | Or is thy truth and righteousness Remembred and mention''d in The land of deep forgetfulness? |
| A27939 | Or what''s the son of man, that thou Of him[ so much] account dost make? |
| A27939 | Or[ whither] from thy spirit flee? |
| A27939 | Or[ who] himself[ can] justifie? |
| A27939 | Shall it be[ thus for] evermore? |
| A27939 | Shall the dead rise and praise thee here? |
| A27939 | Shall thy provoked jealousie Like fire thus always[ burn and] wa st? |
| A27939 | The Lord is of my life the strength,[ Of man] why should I be afraid? |
| A27939 | The workers of iniquity, Who will against them[ for me] stand? |
| A27939 | What gain is in my blood, said I, If[ hasty] death destroy my days? |
| A27939 | What is the sum of my desires? |
| A27939 | What need any more help of yours? |
| A27939 | What sweeter foretaste of the Heavenly Everlasting Praises? |
| A27939 | Which in thy truth Thou unto David then didst swear? |
| A27939 | Who but our God''s a rock and stay? |
| A27939 | Who can all his due praise express? |
| A27939 | Who can o''rethrow his[ potent] will? |
| A27939 | Who is this? |
| A27939 | Who may be liken''d to the Lord, Of all their sons that mighty are? |
| A27939 | Who may this Monarch be? |
| A27939 | Who''s like to thee in faithfulness, Which doth thy Throne encompass round? |
| A27939 | Why art thou with distrustful thoughts Disquieted in me? |
| A27939 | Why by my foes oppression Thus mourning do I[ daily] go? |
| A27939 | Why do the Rebel- Nations rage, And hatch a vain design? |
| A27939 | Why do the Rebel- Nations rage, And[ People] hatch a vain design? |
| A27939 | Why from my roaring voice so far Help and salvation be? |
| A27939 | Why is thy face against me bent? |
| A27939 | Why so disquieted in me? |
| A27939 | Ye little hills, wherefore was it, That you did skip like playing Lambs? |
| A27939 | [ O] shall it thus[ for] ever be? |
| A27939 | how dar''st thou take My Covenant in thy mouth? |
| A27939 | what grieveth thee? |
| A29932 | ''T is as high as Heaven, What canst thou do? |
| A29932 | 16? |
| A29932 | Alas, then what will become of the understandings of this Generation? |
| A29932 | Alass, who doth not every Day both in thought, word and deed? |
| A29932 | Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off? |
| A29932 | And by what means they become thus superlatively happy? |
| A29932 | And can it then be troubled? |
| A29932 | And how may we know that we dwell in him? |
| A29932 | And so did Moses, Wherefore cryest thou unto me? |
| A29932 | And such a House as can keep him, and what he hath, dry? |
| A29932 | And the Marriners to Jonas, What is thy occupation? |
| A29932 | And what Man in the World could live a more unblameable life, than that young Ruler did? |
| A29932 | And what goodness saw Paul in himself, when he said, I am a carnal Man sold under sin? |
| A29932 | And what will ye do in the Day of Visitation, to whom will ye flee for help? |
| A29932 | And who will be so arrogant as to think himself better, or better privileged, than those of whom the World was not worthy, or that Holy Apostle? |
| A29932 | And who would not be at Home, that hath such a Home prepared for him, when once He is prepared for it? |
| A29932 | And who, or where is he or she, that is not one of these? |
| A29932 | Are they not all Ministering Spirits sent forth to Minister for them, who shall he Heirs of Salvation? |
| A29932 | Are you Magistrates? |
| A29932 | Art not thou it which hath dryed the Sea, the Waters of the great Deep, which hath made the depth of the Seas, and way for the ransomed to pass over? |
| A29932 | Art thou it that hath cut off Rahab, and wounded the Dragon? |
| A29932 | Because wisdom of the flesh is enmity against God, and because he is under the power of Satan? |
| A29932 | But is all this, or any of this, in the power of meer natural Men; Such as you have been all this while perswading and advising to do? |
| A29932 | But may we expect God will work Miracles now adayes? |
| A29932 | But where shall wisdome be found, and where is the place of Understanding? |
| A29932 | But you question whether Ministers may read in the Congregation prescribed Formes of Prayer imposed? |
| A29932 | Can any hide himself in secret Places, that I shall not see him, saith the Lord, Do not I fill Heaven and Earth? |
| A29932 | Can thine Heart endure, or can thine Hands be strong in the Days that I shall deal with Thee? |
| A29932 | Canst thou by searching finde out God? |
| A29932 | Canst thou by searching finde out the Almighty to perfection? |
| A29932 | Do not I fill Heaven and Earth? |
| A29932 | Do we provoke the Lord to jealousie, are we stronger than he, that we should not fear to provoke him? |
| A29932 | Every Man''s House is the place of his rest? |
| A29932 | Examine the cause of your Ejection; if it be so, Why am I thus? |
| A29932 | Finally, How inexcusable Men are, that live in such an Age, wherein they have both these Laws; One to confirm the other? |
| A29932 | For shall Man be holier than God, and hate corruption more than he? |
| A29932 | God through Christ being your Habitation, your Light and Salvation, whom or what should you fear, while you live, and when you die? |
| A29932 | Had you not rather enjoy me, and do you not finde more comfort in me, than in Ten Houses? |

| A29932 | How much better is thy Love than Wine, and the smell of thine Oyntments than all Spices? |
| A29932 | How much more may it be said of the everlasting Lord God, that his Eyes are as sharp sighted as ever, nor is his Divine force abated? |
| A29932 | How oft are Christians exhorted to hold fast every good spiritual thing that they have gotten? |
| A29932 | How oft have you had this cast in your Dish by enemies, both to the form& power of godliness when you have perswaded them to embrace both? |
| A29932 | How shall I know I have this poverty of Spirit? |
| A29932 | How sweet are thy Words unto my Taste? |
| A29932 | How we may know that we dwell in God? |

| A26965 | * But a Papist will say, who shall be Judge? |
| A26965 | 1. Who ever questioneth it, that is considerate, as to an indefinite charge in the Church universal? |
| A26965 | 16, 17. and the dreadful third Commandment; and tremble when I thought of death and judgment? |
| A26965 | 4 Whether the said Ecclesiastical Head must be One as the High Priest, or an Aristocracy of many, or a Synod of the whole Clergy? |
| A26965 | 42,& c? |
| A26965 | 7. Who is it that chooseth or authorizeth the National Priestly Head, that we may know when we have a lawful Chief Pastor, and when an Usurper? |
| A26965 | A Bishop with- his Presbyters be over every particular Church( associated for personal Communion in holy doctrine, worship and Conversation?) |
| A26965 | A Christian Kingdom what § 43? |
| A26965 | A Papist King is to be obeyed in lawful things: what Protestant denieth that? |
| A26965 | Am I not to have more care of it than of my estate or health of body? |
| A26965 | An domum suam résque domesticas recte administraverit,& an vita ei peromnia honeste& laudate act a suerit? |
| A26965 | An jura adversus homines servarit? |
| A26965 | An quae ad pietatem erga Deum pertinent recte peregerit? |
| A26965 | And are we sure they erred not that wrote this? |
| A26965 | And can not the Sword be drawn without such as have no power of it? |
| A26965 | And how is he able to say that no one man of them all is obliged by it to endeavour a lawful and necessary reformation? |
| A26965 | And how ordinarily do many Gentlemen of the Church of England go from their own Parishes in London? |
| A26965 | And if good Princes were but the tenth part as rare, as they thought that said[ In uno annulo]& c. what then would become of Religion in the World? |
| A26965 | And if there must be a higher Bishop to deliver men from the injuries of a lower, who should deliver us from him, who may injure Kingdoms? |
| A26965 | And if these Churches associate for meer concord and mutual help( and not for Governing Bishops?) |
| A26965 | And if they know it not to be so why should they declare it to be so? |
| A26965 | And if they will resolve the case into the question of fact, whether such different Ministers have usually different success? |
| A26965 | And is it not a fleshly, proud and wordly mind( which is the work of the Devil) which is the importunate seeker? |
| A26965 | And must we needs appeal to such? |
| A26965 | And shall such Jesuits as Vasquez, such moderators as Erasmus, and Protestant Conformists, and Nonconformists, all thus speak for it, and yet no hope? |
| A26965 | And so that under Heathen, Mahometan, Papist, Heretical Rulers, they must be all of their Religion, as to the external professing and practising part? |
| A26965 | And then how knoweth every Minister in what sense every man in the three Kingdoms took it? |
| A26965 | And was not the contention at the two Councils of Ephesus more stigmatized by Historians than this that Gregory so lamenteth? |
| A26965 | And what is it that some men can not copiously and confidently talk for? |
| A26965 | And what wretched Reasons be they that have hindred Englands unity and peace? |
| A26965 | And where can the wit of man ever set bounds to such power of sinners? |
| A26965 | And where is the proof that the Apostles did institute it? |
| A26965 | And yet are you sure what they meant? |
| A26965 | And yet must we despair of a cure of so odious a disease? |
| A26965 | And yet not in the Calendar and other passages in our Liturgy? |
| A26965 | Are all the Ministers in the world bound to be the Pastors of this Parish or Diocess? |
| A26965 | Are all those Church- members that Ministers are authorized to preach to? |
| A26965 | Are not these doleful Narratives and Characters of those Primitive Bishops( even in those happy daies of good Theodosius? |
| A26965 | Are we sure this Mass Book meant not pleniluniam as we do properly? |
| A26965 | Are you such your selves? |
| A26965 | Are you sure that this Mass Book should be our rule herein of speaking or interpreting? |
| A26965 | Because a man is a Licensed Physician without me, doth it follow that he is my Physician without my consent? |
| A26965 | Bishop Vsher himself told one of us, that being asked by his Sovereign whether he found that ever Presbyters ordained Presbyters? |
| A26965 | But can a man deny notorious truth in reverence to Bishops? |
| A26965 | But how much more if every sinner must appeal to a Patriarch many hundred miles off? |
| A26965 | But if All must not lay down their Ministry, why must a thousand or two thousand do it rather than all the rest? |
| A26965 | But if the question be only whether a National Priestly Soveraignty be lawful? |
| A26965 | But it is, Whether all the faults of the Translation may be Assented, Approved and Consented to? |
| A26965 | But shall all men gather Churches, and teach Heresie, and do what they will? |
| A26965 | But what''s that to the question? |
| A26965 | But when they were asunder were they setled,& did they keep the Churches in concord by these Councils? |
| A26965 | Did the the Convocation intend that we should not here understand[ The full moon] properly, nor as in all the rest of the Book? |
| A26965 | Do they secure any of the ends of Governments? |
| A26965 | Do you differ in nothing? |
| A26965 | Doth not the ordainer here say, Take thou Authority to Preach the Word of God,& c. when thou art thereto lawfully called? |
| A26965 | Else it were at the will of a man whether souls shall be saved or damned,( for how shall they believe unless they hear? |
| A26965 | Even as the blessed Apostle Paul exhorteth and saith, What if some of them have fallen from Faith? |
| A26965 | How many Councils have been against Images in Churches, and how many for them, condemning one anothers acts? |
| A26965 | How shall we be sure that other mens sinning will absolve the two thousand innocent from their duty? |
| A26965 | I know some will say, were all these Councils of Bishops such fools in comparison of you? |
| A26965 | If in the first Instant it be confessedly the equal duty of all, how will the weakness and sin of one part change the obligation of all the rest? |
| A26965 | If so, then why saith the Canon that the Convocation[ is the true Church of England by Representation] and those excommunicate that deny it? |
| A26965 | If the Churches be somehow supplied by mens sin, will it follow that truth and righteousness in sounder blameless men will not mend their supply? |
| A26965 | Is it not enough that I know why I am unwilling to keep him, who am no way more bound to him than to others, but by my own consent? |
| A26965 | Is it to be supposed then, that these were better than Priests? |
| A26965 | Is there any Christian that dare say, that Bishops or Princes are in all things to be obeyed, lest the people be made Judges? |
| A26965 | May I give away the needfull helps to my salvation, because others have them, as if their salvation might satisfie me instead of my own? |
| A26965 | Nay, what if on such necessity they should accept of favour from any Papists that would save them? |
| A26965 | Nor whether they may not be lawfully used where there is no better? |
| A26965 | Or whether God hath ordained such a National Church- form, only by the general Command of doing all things in Order and Unity and to Edification? |
| A26965 | Or whether they meant that all men should be forced and taught to subscribe or declare assent to that which they never understood? |
| A26965 | Or with what face could I do it? |
| A26965 | Our question is what constituteth the relations between a Pastor and his Particular flock? |
| A26965 | P. 55, 56 ▪ The question, Whether this or that Oath be lawful? |
| A26965 | Praesules? |
| A26965 | Qui vero inter reliquos princeps Episcopus est, percontetur Presbyteros& populum an ipse sit quem praeesse petant? |
| A26965 | Saith that such great places use to make Bishops worse than they were before, All history tells us what striving there was for such places? |
| A26965 | Shall the people have any judgment of discerning or not? |
| A26965 | Some say, If we take in a few moderate men like you, what the better are we? |
| A26965 | Surrogates,& c? |
| A26965 | THE Question stated § 3,& c. Whether we are obliged by or to the Jewish National Polity? |
| A26965 | The question is not whether these faulty Translations were not a good work, and a great mercy to the Church, till we had a better? |
| A26965 | The question is, What obligation there is in this case? |
| A26965 | The question is, may we swear or Covenant to obey them? |
| A26965 | The question therefore is, whether such Oaths, as necessary to a Bishops consecration, be to be Approved and consented to? |
| A26965 | The second, Whether it be not such an Errour to require the bond of a Covenant beside the Baptismal Covenant? |
| A26965 | Then answer your own objection: What remedy shall they have if the Bishop wrong them? |
| A26965 | They say no, themselves: And next, whether it be not certain, and confessed, that the Pastors have no other power, but the Magistrates only? |
| A26965 | This were an easie way to introduce any Errour, by forbidding any but the defenders of it to Preach? |
| A26965 | V. And to the question, Whether the King be the formal, or only the accidental Church- head? |

| A26965 | Whether the King or he, is to be obeyed in Circumstances, or matters Ecclesiastical, if they differ, and make contrary Laws? |
| A26965 | Whether the very Jewish Church Policy be established by Christ for the Christian Church, or be repealed? |
| A26965 | Whether this be the usual or proper signification of such words? |
| A26965 | Which is the Priestly- Head, or highest Governour of the Church of England, which is a constitutive part, as a King in a Kingdom? |
| A26965 | Will you say, If the people be Judges, they may set up Usurpers, and put down the King? |
| A26965 | Would you perswade us that our Convocation now borrowed their Direction from this Mass Book? |
| A26965 | and how shall they hear without a Preacher?) |

| A26965 | how then shall we have Communion with you when we differ in all the things here described? |
| A26965 | or so many score thousands as are in many others? |
| A26965 | or whether God''s general Rules( for Concord, Order, Edification) do bind the Churches prudentially to erect such a form? |

| A27028 | And doth not he do so, that calleth them Idolaters? |
| A27028 | And if these be not worth the disputing with, it seems, that you differ from them more than Separatists do: and then were not all these Schismaticks? |
| A27028 | And is it Edifying to read such a discourse, that saith and unsaith by self- contradiction? |
| A27028 | And is not Agreement a humane Contract? |
| A27028 | And is not his consent then necessary? |
| A27028 | And is not separating the Materials, destroying the house? |

| A27028 | And who denyeth this? |
| A27028 | And why can not they? |
| A27028 | And why may there not be distinct Politick Bodies, or Compound in one whole as well as natural? |
| A27028 | And why then should their own Books be so valued? |
| A27028 | Another Instance is, the use of helps, or written Words; Whether one shall use Notes in Preaching, and read them, or not? |

| A27028 | No, man then is out of the Church that is not out of the Baptismal Covenant, either by not taking it, or by renouncing some Essential part of it? |

| A27028 | What the meaning of this great, Decantate Word[ Separate] is; must anon be enquired: But, may not Churches be distinct and not culpably separate? |

| A27028 | and can any wonder if Rulers should think the Punishment of Murderers is not worse than we deserve? |
| A27028 | and doth he not Preach Christians into the hatred of each other? |
| A27028 | and tempt weak Christians into sinful Separations, Divisions, Slanders, Judgings, Murmurings, Envies, which are the fruits of the flesh? |
| A27028 | and then, are not you a Schismatick if you communicate with them? |
| A27028 | are not Covenants imposed on all that will be Ministers in the act of Uniformity? |
| A27028 | are not multitudes kept out and cast out for not making these Covenants? |

| A26897 | And the strength and upshot of all the Papists arguings, is[ Where was your Religion and Church before Luther?] |
| A26897 | And under pretence of defending Truth, whether they be not the Nurseries of uncharitable Wars among the Servants of the Lord? |
| A26897 | And what can we to hinder them more, than to bring the Churches and Holy Worship and Ways of God into doubt or contempt among them? |
| A26897 | And what pretence had they then for Separation? |
| A26897 | And when they think of turning, the Tempter asketh them, as the Papists use to do, Which Party will you turn to? |
| A26897 | And where find we that the lesser part are to be Ruled by the greater? |
| A26897 | And where hath God given the Major Vote the Government of the Minor? |

| A27014 | Alas, when the Stone is set on rolling down the Hill, where will it stop? |
| A27014 | And can that Congregation be out of your hearing, and not be locally separate, as every Parish- Church and Chappel is? |

| A27014 | And what great matter of injury or provocation should this seem to any peaceable man? |
| A27014 | And what if forty Families do so? |
| A27014 | And what of all this? |
| A27014 | And where will they stop? |
| A27014 | And whether the Apostles and Churches for many hundred years, required any more of those that were Baptized? |

| A27014 | Brethren, let me ask you, as before God: Why hath no more of this bin done while you were silenced? |
| A27014 | Brethren, what harm will it do to you, if a Non- Conformist preach by you? |
| A27014 | But doth not every Chappel, and every neighbor Parish then, and all the World besides your Auditory, sinfully separate from you? |
| A27014 | But his next hath no bounds, and grieveth me to read it( O posterity, how will you know what to believe?) |
| A27014 | But indeed we never desired to play the Bishops in other mens Diocess: If we pretended to govern you, would you take it for our Orthodoxness? |
| A27014 | But is it not better to give an Alms to the bodies or souls, of some men, than of none at all? |
| A27014 | But it seemeth that acknowledging you true Churches will not satisfie you, without( what?) |
| A27014 | But must I therefore give over? |

| A27014 | But what if I had leave without Conformity to preach in the next Parish- Church? |
| A27014 | But who ever took every act of disobedience in a Circumstance, in a Family or Kingdom, to be a Schism from that Family or Kingdom? |
| A27014 | But why may not many of us Ministers meet in one allowed place, for such Agreements in our Pastoral Government? |
| A27014 | But would you be at more hearts- ease, to think that none of us are within five miles of you, nor teach any of the people the Gospel of Christ? |
| A27014 | But, Brother, what good will our sufferings do you? |
| A27014 | But, Sir, who made you a fitter Judge of the need of souls, than themselves and all others? |
| A27014 | Can you spare your flesh or labour, when you think what impenitent souls must feel for ever; and what the Sanctified shall enjoy? |
| A27014 | Come and impartially debate the case with us, Who have bin the great causes of Protestants divisions, Conformists or Non- Conformists? |
| A27014 | Do not others prefer you before him? |
| A27014 | Do not those, as aforesaid, that remove from one Parish Church to another, remove from true Churches? |
| A27014 | Do not you and yours think so of our Non- Conformity? |
| A27014 | Do you draw Churches to your selves out of our true Churches that were before you, and then charge your act on us? |
| A27014 | Do you feel your self ever the more at liberty when we are in the Common- Jayls? |
| A27014 | Either the censure is true or false: If true, should you not be as thankful as to one that would save you from the Plague? |
| A27014 | Fifthly, Whether all the Volumns of General Councils, be not yet too little by that rule, the sence of many being still controverted? |
| A27014 | Had this been Separation and Schism, or not? |
| A27014 | Have those kept us from doing what we could till now? |
| A27014 | Have we served God about twelve years without one bit of the Levites portion? |
| A27014 | How many souls feed or famish, live or die, as we do our duty, or neglect it? |
| A27014 | I know two Churches so near that the people may hear each other, and yet they are two, and therefore one is separate: And I pray, which of them is it? |
| A27014 | If Ministers be judged by you unworthy to preach the Gospel, have they not reason to think you judge them unworthy to receive the Sacrament? |
| A27014 | If nay, why then is it Schism to joyn with such men in other places? |
| A27014 | If not, why are they such for not hearing you? |
| A27014 | If some prefer him before you? |
| A27014 | If their not hearing you is separation, why is not your not hearing of them so? |
| A27014 | If yea, Would you not have necessary help to do it? |
| A27014 | If yea, what Law of God or Man forbad it? |
| A27014 | If you could have proved that any secret person ever refused such an offer, can you thence say to the Presbyterians that they refused it? |
| A27014 | If you talk of the Toleration of any that are Intolerable, what have we to do with it any more than you? |
| A27014 | Is a Vow and Dedication to Preach the Gospel, no reason to Preach it elsewhere, when its forbidden us in your Assemblies? |
| A27014 | Is every difference in things unnecessary from the major part, a Schism from them? |
| A27014 | Is it because we will not, or because you will not give us leave? |
| A27014 | Is it for going out of their own Parishes? |
| A27014 | Is it for going to a Nonconformist? |
| A27014 | Is it for going to a private house? |
| A27014 | Is it good in you, and evil in us to Preach the same Gospel? |
| A27014 | Is it not you that forbid it us? |
| A27014 | Is the alienation of Consecrated persons no Sacriledge? |
| A27014 | Is the notorious need of many hundred thousand Souls no reason? |
| A27014 | Is the relieving of many godly Christians, who are cast out of your communion, because they dare not Conform, no reason? |
| A27014 | Is there not a wise man among you? |
| A27014 | It is not your selves that you preach for, but the peoples Souls: And why may not Christs Gospel profit them from another as well as from you? |
| A27014 | Must Abrahams and Lots Servants, separate them for a Well? |
| A27014 | Must Paul and Barnabas part for different censures of another mans omission? |
| A27014 | Must two Congregations be one, or else be Separatists? |
| A27014 | Name the men that offered us a comprehension, and the men that refused it? |
| A27014 | Nature teacheth men to relish their own food, and partly to feel what doth them good? |
| A27014 | Say you so? |
| A27014 | Seventhly, And who is it that must be still the Creed- makers or menders? |
| A27014 | Shall mutable conveniencies be turned into immutable necessities? |
| A27014 | Tell us what you mean by our Schism from the Church of England? |
| A27014 | That such proud tyrannical overdoers, have bin the Churches undoers? |
| A27014 | The King forbiddeth them: Is not that to uncommand them? |
| A27014 | V. Whether the Declaration make the Non- conformists preaching more lawful, or their duty, than it was before? |
| A27014 | Was it Josephs sin that the Ishmaelites and Egyptians were more merciful to him than his Brethren? |
| A27014 | Were we not as capable of the more Noble and General applause as you, if we could have taken your way? |
| A27014 | Were you all Separatists that used it not fifteen years ago? |
| A27014 | What Church did they divide from? |
| A27014 | What advantage then hath every foolish Superstitious Priest above God, and over all good Christians? |
| A27014 | What harm wil it do you if we escape? |

| A27014 | What if they call themselves a Church and exercise Discipline,( which without need I would not have them do,) What harm will this do to you or others? |
| A27014 | What if they think their way best, as you think yours? |
| A27014 | What now will you do better and more than others to prove that the Nation can not spare you? |
| A27014 | What should the poor Nonconformists hear, if they thus Commented on the Clemency of the King? |
| A27014 | What then? |
| A27014 | When he confesseth that we have been still against such a toleration? |
| A27014 | When were we against our own Preaching, as we had opportunity? |
| A27014 | Where lyeth your Point of Schism or Separation? |
| A27014 | Whether there be not much that would not almost as handsomly have served Celsus, Julian, Porphyry, Eunapius, or Symmachus against Christianity? |
| A27014 | Whether to gather themselves into distinct and separate Congregations, is unlawful in the judgment of the Presbyterians themselves? |
| A27014 | Who then I pray you hath done more for Toleration, you or we? |
| A27014 | Who then is it long of? |
| A27014 | Who would gainsay a man of such understanding? |
| A27014 | Why come not you to the private Churches among you that have all this while been kept up? |
| A27014 | Why else are we Baptized? |
| A27014 | Will our Poverty be greater than you Conformists have made it? |
| A27014 | Will sin do you less hurt than censure? |
| A27014 | Will you expect none of it in others, when you know( if you know your selves) that you have much of it in your selves? |
| A27014 | Will you say, It is their partial humour? |
| A27014 | Would you not be found by Christ so doing? |
| A27014 | Would you not convert Sinners from the errour of their way, when it is the saving of a soul from death, and covering a multitude of sins? |
| A27014 | Would you not shine your selves as Stars in the Firmament? |
| A27014 | Would you then have the people taught, reformed and saved, or not? |
| A27014 | Yea further, Brethren, what if the Non- Conformable Minister do give the Sacrament to some, as you do to others? |
| A27014 | You have with less noise endured Infidels and Papists enough within five miles of you? |
| A27014 | [ And will you not account such Congregations as shall be gathered to your allowed places to be true Churches also?] |
| A27014 | [ Do you not allow our Parochial Churches to be true Churches?] |
| A27014 | and can not we do so till we die? |
| A27014 | and which side is to be compared to the Murderers and Adulterers? |
| A27014 | if many follow him? |
| A27014 | or ever the less, if we renounce our Ministry? |
| A27014 | or the Nonconformists, that have near ten years been deprived of all Ecclesiastical maintenance? |
| A27014 | r. by not only, p. 70. l. 3. for[?] |
| A27014 | were it Tolerationism& Schism to be unwilling to be hang''d or burnt? |
| A27014 | who calleth any of this Separation? |
| A27014 | with what stuff will such men carry them away? |
| A67849 | 10. whom he calls greedy dogs, feeding themselves, that are ignorant, doth he only brand them for being ignorant of reading Scripture? |
| A67849 | 14. and observed by † Cyprian, as he faithfully expounded the Scriptures)? |
| A67849 | 21. a And yet where are any Canons established for punishing their absence from Sabbathday- meetings? |
| A67849 | 303. n. 37,& c. The Martyrs being called into judgment, and ask''d of the Proconsul, Whether they had done their Collect, or celebrated the Lords day? |
| A67849 | 9. why should it not keep holy the Lords Day, since the Apostolical Church kept its meetings on that day? |
| A67849 | ? |
| A67849 | And how is it, that thou fearest not, nor tremblest to hear of these things against such Oracles? |
| A67849 | And what cause was unknown to the most? |
| A67849 | And what if we say, that the Aegyptians would not suffer the Israelites, while they were their slaves, to be idle on the seventh day? |
| A67849 | And when were such sort of meetings kept, but at that time whereon the congregations of the common people were made? |
| A67849 | And who is to determine those dayes, but him, whose the day and night are? |
| A67849 | Arbogastes being entertained at a feast by the King of France, and asked, Whether he knew b Ambrose? |
| A67849 | Are these fruits beseeming so long a preaching of the holy Gospel? |
| A67849 | As his custome was; who will he be that shall think the places dedicated for the Churches assemblies are not to be gone unto by Christians? |
| A67849 | As sometimes Sisinnius being asked, why he would wash himself twice every day in the publick bath, being a Bishop? |
| A67849 | But for what end were they instituted? |
| A67849 | But how could the people be instructed in the Scripture read, without an interpretation? |
| A67849 | But who will say, that the piety established by new Canons, for observing that solemnity, was not known to the former Christians? |
| A67849 | But who will there be found desirous of Divine knowledge, that will not be weary of these fooleries? |
| A67849 | But who, well in his wits, shall judge, that a day in this manner is to be dedicated to the Good and Great God? |
| A67849 | Do you cry out of silent or unprofitable Ministers? |
| A67849 | Dost thou not know that these dayes are Sisters? |
| A67849 | First, Whether in the compass of every week, must the Church keep holy a certain day, by Gods institution? |
| A67849 | For how often do we meet with this phrase in the beginning of their Treatises, Yesterday''s Sermon? |
| A67849 | For whenas he requires the end, why should he not also prescribe the means directly conducing to that end? |
| A67849 | For why should the Lord indulge a further liberty to the men of our age, in his service, than he granted them? |
| A67849 | He asks his wife why she would go to the Prophet that day, since it was neither new moon nor Sabbath? |
| A67849 | Here some make a question, whether the day of their second meeting was the eighth from the first, or after the eighth day? |
| A67849 | How could men spend one day of seven in the serious reading and hearing of Gods Word, and not grow in the understanding of it? |
| A67849 | If it be better in those mens judgment, to add of the profane to the sacred, than to take from the sacred and add to the profane? |
| A67849 | If it had been the Christians duty to observe Sabbaths, why had the Catholicks imputed its observation as a fault to the Hereticks? |
| A67849 | If on holy dayes we must abstain from lawful, and necessary labours, must we therefore attend upon unlawful, vain, and unhonest works? |
| A67849 | If others perform not their duty, will you sin for company, and yet condemn them? |
| A67849 | If well, why do you blame them? |
| A67849 | If you think they do ill, why will you imitate them? |
| A67849 | It is sometimes put for the place that''s set aside for the Church to meet in: comest thou in Dominicum without a sacrifice? |
| A67849 | It was not therefore the purpose of the Reverend Fathers, to define, whether the Sabbath was simply observed of the Patriarchs, or not? |
| A67849 | It''s considered, whether before the Babylonish captivity the interpretating of the Law was in use among the Jews on their Sabbath dayes? |
| A67849 | Lastly, I''le only add this, What if those silly women believed it to be a work of charity by the example of Dorcas? |
| A67849 | Moreover, who will deny that all who have given their name to Christ, are bound to relieve their necessities? |
| A67849 | Secondly, Whether the Jewish Sabbath be abrogated? |
| A67849 | Secondly, by what Authority that time is imposed upon the Church, Divine, or Humane? |
| A67849 | Shall the licentiousness of evil manners be piety? |
| A67849 | So when he answers the question, why he commanded not the Sabbath to be celebrated on another day? |
| A67849 | Sometimes also for the Symboles of the Lords Supper; Numquid, saith Cyprian, Dominicum post coenam celebrare debemus? |
| A67849 | The second Question which I have propounded follows; namely, Whether the Church must keep the whole Lords day holy? |
| A67849 | These are those dances of the Angels,*( and what can be more blessed, than upon the earth to imitate the dance of Angels?) |
| A67849 | Thirdly, What can be brought out of the books of the New Testament to confirm the keeping holy the first day in the week? |
| A67849 | Thirdly, in what things the solemn sanctifying thereof consisteth? |
| A67849 | V. Whether the bare reading of Scriptures in the Church- assembly be properly preaching? |
| A67849 | Was that your Covenant with Christ, that you would serve him, if others did, or if none forbad you, or else not? |
| A67849 | We, passing by this rather curious, than sound Disputation, Whether the Ordinance of the Lords day be an institution of God or his Apostles? |
| A67849 | What if all the rest of the Town denied food or cloathing to the poor? |
| A67849 | What is it that he hath sanctified it? |
| A67849 | What needs more? |
| A67849 | When therefore the Proconsul demands of them, Why Dominicum egissent,& c? |
| A67849 | When we count the causes of this will, why should we not apply our minds with Gunther amnus to bewail the heynous violation of the Lords day? |
| A67849 | Whence, of necessity piety must fail; and that being extinct, what other thing can men expect, but that a tempest of all evils should be ingruent? |
| A67849 | Where there is a profitable publick Ministry, what a furtherance would this be to its success? |
| A67849 | Whether a Reader of Scripture may deservedly, and properly in the Church of God be called a Preacher of them? |
| A67849 | Whether any such was ever granted of him for the countrey mens sakes or no? |
| A67849 | Whether the bare reading of Scripture in the Church assembly, be properly preaching? |
| A67849 | Which things being well observed, with what face can the Papists alledge Chrysostom, for denying the people a liberty to sing in the Church? |
| A67849 | Which, through the importunate impulse of a vehement and violent spirit, make a sound which signifies nothing certain? |
| A67849 | Who doth not see, that in Theodorets opinion, from the beginning the Sabbath was set apart for the worship of God from other dayes? |
| A67849 | Who will say the Sabbath is holy? |
| A67849 | Why had they not also done the like in the Feast of the Passover, if it had been instituted by Apostolical authority? |
| A67849 | With what eyes, saith he, lookest thou on the Lords Day, that despisest the Sabbath? |
| A67849 | Would your obligation to feed and cloath them, think you, be the less or the greater? |
| A67849 | Yet who will from that sanction compare the observation of that day, ordained of Constantine, and not of the Apostles, with the Lords day? |
| A67849 | an occasion of Luxury be reckoned Religion? |
| A67849 | and do you think that silence and unprofitableness in the Governour of a Family is no crime? |
| A67849 | and how the reading of Scripture may be called preaching? |
| A67849 | and that in celebrating the Lords day, all the Churches of Christ through the whole world should follow one and the same rule? |
| A67849 | and who will say, that the Apostles do not command us to imitate them, when in holy records their example is represented unto us? |
| A67849 | are not those examples partly of silly women, that exercise whorish tricks in the streets, and partly of them that bawl in the Theatres? |
| A67849 | doest thou not think that God is invisibly present here, who measureth the motion of every man, and hath a consideration of the conscience? |
| A67849 | doest thou not think, that the Angels do stand by this stupendous table, and with reverence compass it about? |
| A67849 | how therefore wilt thou beg the pardon of thy sins? |
| A67849 | how wilt thou receive the Lord into thy house, who dost so contemptuously offer him a prayer? |
| A67849 | i. e. by what authority he did set upon these new things, and unheard of in former ages? |
| A67849 | in the bowels of antiquity? |
| A67849 | it is the same as if he should ask, Why they kept their meetings,( as the Proconsul himself expresseth it) or Dominicam Collectam egissent a? |
| A67849 | or will affirm, that the Church at this day is not obliged to observe them? |
| A67849 | that if thou reproach the one, thou offendest the other? |
| A67849 | therefore doest thou discover a disordered mind, in clamours that signifie nothing certain? |
| A67849 | what a sanctifying is this, that wants Well, without which, no action can be acceptable to God? |
| A67849 | who can deny that the Gentiles as well as the Jews, were obliged by the instinct of nature, to worship God their great Creatour? |
| A67849 | who sayes, What means that haste of his? |
| A67849 | — Quis talia fando Temperat à lacrymis? |
| A67849 | — — Who can forbear At telling such events to shed a tear? |
| A26896 | 1. Who was it that deprived you of your Friend? |
| A26896 | Ah foolish Heart, that hast thought of it[ Where is that place, that Cave or Desert, where I might soonest find thee, and fullest enjoy thee? |
| A26896 | Ah my God, how justly mayest thou withhold that Love which I thus undervalue; and refuse that converse which I have first refused? |
| A26896 | And are you grieved that your Friends are taken from your griefs? |
| A26896 | And can God do any thing injuriously or amiss? |
| A26896 | And can we know another better than our selves? |
| A26896 | And have I not yet found so much Love and Goo ● ness in thee my dear and blessed God, as to be willing to converse alone with thee? |
| A26896 | And how apt to give occasion of such mistakes and cutting censures? |
| A26896 | And how apt to give occasion of such offence? |
| A26896 | And how little Reason then have Christians to shun such sufferings by unlawful means, which turn to their so great advantage? |
| A26896 | And is not Eternity long enough for you to enjoy your Friends in? |
| A26896 | And is this the difference between the Love of man and of God? |
| A26896 | And now those Prayers are answered in their deliverance: And do you now grieve at that which then you prayed for? |
| A26896 | And which of us see not reason to be distrustful of our selves? |
| A26896 | And worst of all, a place of sin? |
| A26896 | And would you have them under these again? |
| A26896 | And would you have your Friends to be as far from Rest as you? |
| A26896 | And yet am I so loath to die? |
| A26896 | Are they not men, and sinners? |
| A26896 | Are you better than David that had an Achitophel? |
| A26896 | Are you better than God? |
| A26896 | Are you better then Iob, or David, or Christ? |
| A26896 | Are you not groaning from day to day your selves? |
| A26896 | Are you not prone to overvalue and overlove your Friends? |
| A26896 | As Christ said to his Disciples, he ● e in the case of Believing, we may say to our selves in that and other 〈 ◊ 〉 ▪ Do we now Believe? |
| A26896 | As not to fail them? |
| A26896 | But can you say, you are alone, while you are with God? |
| A26896 | But how is he with us? |
| A26896 | But perhaps you will say, that this is not easily attained: How shall we know that he is our friend? |
| A26896 | But the most desirable Society is no Solitude: Saith Hierom,[ Infinita cremi vas ● itas te terret? |
| A26896 | CHristians, expect to be conformed to your Lord in this part of his Humiliation also: Are your friends yet fast and friendly to you? |
| A26896 | Can Faith be any thing but Fancy and Presumption, without Thought and Knowledge? |
| A26896 | Can I draw near to judgment? |
| A26896 | Can I think of dying? |
| A26896 | Can I think of everlasting joys in Heaven? |
| A26896 | Can holy Walking be preserved and promoted without love? |
| A26896 | Can love to God and Christ, and to the invisible State, be kindled, cherished, and continually advanced without Faith? |
| A26896 | Can two walk together except they be agreed? |
| A26896 | Can you so much miss them for one day, that must live with them to all Eternity? |
| A26896 | Can you take pleasure in dwelling with the consuming fire? |
| A26896 | Could I not Love, or Think, or Feel at all, methinks I were less dead than now? |
| A26896 | Dare you think that there was wanting either Wisdom or Goodness, Iustice or Mercy in God''s disposal of your Friend? |
| A26896 | Did not he that gave him you take him from you? |
| A26896 | Did you improve your Friends while you had them? |
| A26896 | Did you not often joyn in prayer with them, for deliverance from Malice, Calamities, troubles, imperfections, temptations and Sin? |
| A26896 | Do we now pray with fervour, and pour out our Souls enlargedly to God? |
| A26896 | Do we now rejoyce in the persuasions of the Love of God? |
| A26896 | Do you converse with Father or Mother? |
| A26896 | Do you mourn that they are taken hence? |
| A26896 | Do you not seem to forget both where you are your selves, and where you must shortly and for ever live? |
| A26896 | Do you set more by your own enjoying his company, then by enjoying God in perfect blessedness? |
| A26896 | Do you so highly value your Friends for God, or for them, or for your selves, in the final consideration? |
| A26896 | Do you think it is for the Hurt or the go ● d of your Friend, that he is removed hence? |
| A26896 | Doth it not signifie more than the company of all Men in the world? |
| A26896 | Doth the VVorld use your selves so well and kindly, as that you should be sorry that your Friends partake not of the Feast? |
| A26896 | Hath my Night no Day? |
| A26896 | Have any of them, or all, already failed you? |
| A26896 | Have you done that for your nearest friend, which God hath done for him and you, and all men? |
| A26896 | He answereth them[ Do ye now believe? |
| A26896 | He is with us who is Almighty, sufficient to preserve us, conquerable by none? |
| A26896 | How apt are we to censure one another, and to misinterpret the words and actions of our Friends? |
| A26896 | How easily can Satan let fire on the Tinder which he findeth in the best and gentlest natures, if God permit him? |
| A26896 | How excellent a Man was Gregory Nazianzene, and highly valued in the Church? |
| A26896 | How highly was Athanasius esteemed? |
| A26896 | How know you what great calamity might have befallen your Friend, if he had lived as long as you desired? |
| A26896 | How know you what sin your Friend might have fallen into, if he had lived as long as you would have him? |
| A26896 | How know you what unkindness to your self, your dearest friend might have been guilty of? |
| A26896 | How little cause then have all the Churches enemies to triumph, that can never shut up a true believer from the presence of his God? |
| A26896 | How patiently hath he born with me, since I thought he would never have put up more? |
| A26896 | I had almost said[ Lord, let me never Love more till I can Love thee? |
| A26896 | If God be God to thee, he is All in all to thee; and then should not his presence be instead of all? |
| A26896 | If God can not content me, and be not enough for me, how is he then my God? |
| A26896 | If it was for God, what reason of trouble have you, that God hath disposed of them, according to his wisdom and unerring Will? |
| A26896 | If so, is not this the meerest Remedy for your Disease? |
| A26896 | In many and wonderful preservations and deliverances? |
| A26896 | In the conduct of his Wisdom, and in a Life of Mercies? |
| A26896 | Is his presence nothing to you? |
| A26896 | Is it a matter to be so much lamented that God hath prevented their greater miseries and wo? |
| A26896 | Is it in the wilderness that thou walkest, or in the croud: in the Closet, or in the Church; where is it that I might soonest meet with God?] |
| A26896 | Is the World a place of Rest or trouble to you? |
| A26896 | Is this your case? |
| A26896 | Less dead, if dead, than now I am alive? |
| A26896 | Must unfaithfulness to you be made more hainous, than that unfaithfulness to him, which yet you daily see and slight? |
| A26896 | Nor think more on any thing till I can more willingly think of thee?] |
| A26896 | O how plainly hath he declared that he loveth me, in the strange condescention, the Sufferings, Death, and Intercession of his Son? |
| A26896 | Or can I expect the translation of Henoch or the Chariot of Elias? |
| A26896 | Or is their deliverance become your grief? |
| A26896 | Or more obliged to me? |
| A26896 | Or rather, are you not apter to see and aggravate the wrong that others do to you, than that which you have done to others? |
| A26896 | Or what is it now, or like to be hereafter to your selves? |
| A26896 | Or will you ever have Rest, if you can not have Rest in the Will of God? |
| A26896 | Seneca could say[ Quid prodest totious regionis silentium, si affectus fremunt?] |
| A26896 | Shall I have any more Comfort in present friends than in others? |
| A26896 | Shall we be ignorant of the members of our Body? |
| A26896 | Some will forsake God: what wonder then if they forsake you? |
| A26896 | Thy Father loveth thy very moans and Tears: But how much more doth he love thy Thanks and Praise? |
| A26896 | Was Christ forsaken in his extremity by his own Disciples, to teach us what to expect, or bear? |
| A26896 | Was any friend so near to me as my self? |
| A26896 | Was it not God? |
| A26896 | Was it not his Lord and Owner that call''d him home? |
| A26896 | Was it not to them a place of toil and trouble, of envy and vexation, of enmity and poison? |
| A26896 | Was it so good and kind to them, as that you should lament their separation from it? |
| A26896 | What Love appeareth in his precious Promises, and the glorious Provisions he hath made for me with himself to all eternity? |
| A26896 | What Love hath he declared in the communications of his Spirit, and the operations of his Grace, and the near Relations into which he brought me? |
| A26896 | What Love hath he declared in the course of his Providences? |
| A26896 | What comfort can you think such Friends if they had survived, would have ● ound on Earth? |
| A26896 | What good doth the silence of all the Country do thee, if thou have the noise of raging affections within?] |
| A26896 | What person more generally esteemed and honoured for learning, piety and peaceableness then Melanchthon? |
| A26896 | What pleasure is it to see the busles of a Bedlam world? |
| A26896 | What was the World to your Friends while they did enjoy it? |
| A26896 | When you are almost leaving the World your selves, would you not send your treasure before you to the place where you must abide? |
| A26896 | Where should my goods be but in my own house? |
| A26896 | Where would you have your Friends, but where you must be your sel ● es? |
| A26896 | Who have more tender affections than Mothers to their children? |
| A26896 | Who would not justifie them, if they can but prove, that God requireth them, and Religion o ● ligeth th ● m to forsake you f ● r your faults? |
| A26896 | Why then should I so much regard, a converse of so short continuance? |
| A26896 | Why, if they had staid here a thousand years, how little of that time should you have had their Company? |
| A26896 | With how much labour and difficulty must you clime, if you will see the top of one of these Mountains? |
| A26896 | With whom should I so desirously converse, as with him whom I must live with for ever? |
| A26896 | With whom should a servant dwell but with his Master? |
| A26896 | Would you not come down, and give place to him that is to follow you, when your part is played, and his is to begin? |
| A26896 | Yea, you have not been innocent towards men your selves: Did you never wrong or fail another? |
| A26896 | [ Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; VVhat shall we have?] |
| A26896 | [ Mine Enemies speak Evil of me: When shall he dye, and his name perish? |
| A26896 | and Children but with thei ● Father? |
| A26896 | and a Wife, but with her Husband? |
| A26896 | and are your Friends more firm and unchangeable then theirs? |
| A26896 | and come and own thy gasping worm? |
| A26896 | and not be concerned in their felicity, with whom we are so nearly one? |
| A26896 | and of everlasting pains in Hell, and yet not feel that my greatest business is with God? |
| A26896 | and to give so dear as the hazard of their souls by wilful sin, to escape the honour, and safety, and commodity of Martyrdom? |
| A26896 | at their home and your home, with their Father, and your Father; their God, and your God? |
| A26896 | but if I continue thus to wait, wilt thou never find the time of Love? |
| A26896 | especially if it had been long of him? |
| A26896 | expect the time when they can not help you: Are they your comforters and delight, and is their company much of your solace upon earth? |
| A26896 | nor banish him into such a place where he can not have his conversation in Heaven? |
| A26896 | of successive cares and fears and griefs? |
| A26896 | or conversing with the most dreadful enemy? |
| A26896 | or did you only love them, while you made but little use of them for your Souls? |
| A26896 | or how shall he be my Heaven and everlasting H ● ppiness? |
| A26896 | or promise more concerning him? |
| A26896 | or than Christ that had a Iudas? |
| A26896 | or than Paul that had a Domas? |
| A26896 | or who shall condemn us when it is he that justifieth us? |
| A26896 | should you not then be more pleased that God hath them, and employeth them in his highest service, than displeased that you want them? |
| A26896 | what a stir they make to prove or make themselves unhappy? |
| A26896 | what wonder? |
| A26896 | why could not you have yeilded in so small a matter?] |
| A26896 | will you not give him leave to do as he list with his own? |
| A26896 | wilt thou never dissipate these clouds, and shine upon this dead and darkened soul? |
| A26896 | with Pastors and Teachers? |
| A26896 | with Wives or Children? |
| A26896 | yet am I no more desirous of the blessed day, when I shall b ● uncloathed of flesh and sin? |
| A26918 | 6, 7, 8? |
| A26918 | 7. for the Trinity, so others say of other Texts; And how shall we confute them without Historical Evidence? |
| A26918 | After this how many Councils and how many Imperial Laws take care of the Lords dayes? |
| A26918 | And O Christian what happy advantage in such controversies have you, in your holy sincerity and sweet experience? |
| A26918 | And besides Origen( 〈 ◊ 〉 a Heretick) and Hierome, alas, how few of the Fathers were ● ble and diligent Examiners of such things? |
| A26918 | And can you think Christ approved of that opinion, who had so oft before condemned the like, about their over rigid sabbatizing? |
| A26918 | And how can any man know the Ceremonial Law to be Divine, by its proper evidence alone? |
| A26918 | And how can any meer Positive institutions o ● the New Testament be known proprio lumine, by their own evidence to be Divine? |
| A26918 | And how could men pretend such a Divine reproof for such a sin, if the day not been received before? |
| A26918 | And how much doth the doctrine of Christianity depend on the history? |
| A26918 | And how shall we disprove them but by Historical Evidence? |
| A26918 | And how should there be a humane Law before there was a Christian Magistracie? |
| A26918 | And is not Gods Service better work than these? |
| A26918 | And it is utterly improbable that there would have been no dissenters? |
| A26918 | And may not ignorant people be brought one day to endure to be taught as long? |
| A26918 | And were it not for this dayes observation, alas, how different would the case be? |
| A26918 | And were such Assemblies like to the primitive Churches? |
| A26918 | And what can you gather from all this? |
| A26918 | And what greater thing can man be bound to, than thus, to keep up the solemn acknowledgement and worship of God and our Redeemer in the world? |
| A26918 | And what needs he more for confutation? |
| A26918 | And what shew of Contradiction hath his 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 to this? |
| A26918 | And what that can not determine we all con ● ess to be uncertain? |
| A26918 | And what time have they to hear or learn? |
| A26918 | And what writer have we of full reputation and credibility more ancient than Justin, from whom any testimony in this case might be sought? |
| A26918 | And when God saith, Ask and it shall be given you, you say, How prove you that I am bound to ask? |
| A26918 | And when he Circumcised Tim ● thy, purified himself, shaved his head, for his Vow,& c. Do you think that all these are duties to Believers? |
| A26918 | And whether all that was of the Law of Nature was in the Decalogue? |
| A26918 | And whether all that was of the Law of Nature was in the Decalogue? |
| A26918 | And whether there have been any true Churches since then till our own dayes? |
| A26918 | And why may it not be continued, whilest the great sense of the benefit should be continued? |
| A26918 | And will those deceivers of the people also say this, who teach them that it is a tedious uncommanded thing, to serve God so long? |
| A26918 | And yet, alas, what day hath more ryotting and excess, of meat, and drink, and wantonness, and sloth, and lust, than it? |
| A26918 | Are not we men as well as you? |
| A26918 | As if Christs Resurrection could not be the fundamental occasion, and yet Christs Law the obliging cause? |
| A26918 | As the institution of Sacraments, Officers, Orders,& c. What is there in them that can infallibly prove it to us? |
| A26918 | But O what a Carnal unthankful heart; doth this objection signifie? |
| A26918 | But do not all Divines say that the Moral Law is of perpetual obligation? |
| A26918 | But doth not this shew that you had rather there were no Command for it? |
| A26918 | But how much earlier were all those Synods which Eusebius mentioned, which in the determination of Easter owned the Lords day? |
| A26918 | But if you dare not say so, Why will you choose the worse, before the better? |
| A26918 | But is this an Argument fit for the mouth of a Minister or any Christian, who knoweth how much the soul is more worth than the body? |
| A26918 | But that''s nothing to the question, Whether all things in the ten words are of Natural Obligation? |
| A26918 | But where is it proved, that the Law or the Decalogue are words of the same signification, or extent; any more, than the whole and a part are? |
| A26918 | But who is it that must be present in all these exercises? |
| A26918 | Dare you say, that playing is better than Praying, and a Piper or Dancing is better than praising God with Psalms? |
| A26918 | Did no Christians in the world so neer to the Apostles daies make any scruple of superstition? |
| A26918 | Do they not tell the world what enemies they are to God, who love a pair of Cards, or Dice, or Wanton Dalliance, better than his Word and Worship? |
| A26918 | Do you cry out, What a weariness is this one day, when you would adde of your own such a multitude of more dayes, and more work? |
| A26918 | Do you limit Dancers, and Players to any numbers? |
| A26918 | Do you think that all this is established for us? |
| A26918 | E. g. If the second Command say, Thou shalt perform all Gods instituted Worship: Or, Thou shalt Worship me, as I appoint thee? |
| A26918 | For how is it a day separated to holy employments, if we spend it in the common business of the world? |
| A26918 | For they yet knew not that it was abrogated; But must we do so too? |
| A26918 | HOw should the Lords day be kept or used? |
| A26918 | Had not he a Creating head here that out of these words could gather, that we celebrate the Lords day without a command Voluntarily? |
| A26918 | Hath he done so much to deliver us from the strait Yoak, the heavy Burden, and the grievous Commandments? |
| A26918 | Have not several Ages had as great improvers of nature as you? |
| A26918 | Have ye not houses to eat and drink in? |
| A26918 | How can any man know that the Scripture histories are Canonical? |
| A26918 | How can that oblige which can not be known? |
| A26918 | How did the Christians in the Primitive Churches? |
| A26918 | How far then are we bound by the Decalogue? |
| A26918 | How far then is the fourth Commandment Moral? |
| A26918 | How many interruptions hinder my delight? |
| A26918 | How many necessary intermissions are there, which confute this pretense of weariness? |
| A26918 | How quickly is it gone? |
| A26918 | How the Lords day should not be spent: Or, What is unlawful on it? |
| A26918 | How then can that be called Accidental? |
| A26918 | If Learning must be the improver, have there been none as learned? |
| A26918 | If a sparrow fall not to the ground without Gods providence, did God choose that day He knew not why? |
| A26918 | If any men need remission of Studies, and bodily Exercise it is Ministers themselves: And is it themselves that they plead for Sports and Dancing for? |
| A26918 | If diligence or impartiality must be the improvers of nature, have there not been many as diligent, studious and impartial as your selves? |
| A26918 | If grace must be the improver, are there, or have there been none as gracious? |
| A26918 | If one would give you Money or Land, you would scarcely ask, How prove you that I am bound to take it? |
| A26918 | If the Apostles, silently connived at such corruptions, how could we rest on their authority? |
| A26918 | If the King should say to you ▪ Ask what you will, and I will give it you, you would not say, Where am I bound of God to ask? |
| A26918 | If they did, which part is the sanctified part of the day? |
| A26918 | If you hear but of a gainful Market ▪ you ask not, Where doth God make it my duty to go to it? |
| A26918 | Is it a toile to love or count your money? |
| A26918 | Is it any thing which you dare say is better? |
| A26918 | Is it not made by the Holy Ghost, a mark not only of wicked men, but of men notoriously wicked, to be Lovers of pleasures more than of God? |
| A26918 | Is not the Lords day a Sabbath? |
| A26918 | Is this a proof to conclude a[ Certainty] from? |
| A26918 | O that we knew what the Love of God is? |
| A26918 | O what an advantage is it to know by experience what one talketh of? |
| A26918 | Or did it fall out hap hazard or by chance? |
| A26918 | Or shall we suffer the lo ● ● of many pounds rather than sti ● r to save them? |
| A26918 | Or such Families governed Christianly and in the fear of God? |
| A26918 | Or when the name of the Author is not notified to all Christians certainly, either by the spirit within us, or by the matter? |
| A26918 | Or where is it proved, that none of the rest of the Law is written in Nature, but the Decalogue only? |
| A26918 | Reader, is not here a strange kind of proof? |
| A26918 | Shall I think a Week short enough for my worldly labours,) and one day( thus parcelled) too long to seek the face of God? |
| A26918 | Shall we violate the outward rest of the day for the worth of 〈 ◊ 〉 Groat or two Pence( as the feeding of Hens or such like may be?) |
| A26918 | So it must here be considered, who will know of the Action which you do? |
| A26918 | To sanctifie it, is to spend it in holy exercises: How else should it be used as a Holy Day? |
| A26918 | Try what answer they will give you, and whether they will not deride you more than at another time? |
| A26918 | V. Whether the truest Antiquity be for the seventh day Sabbath as kept by the Churches of Christ? |
| A26918 | V. Whether the truest Antiquity be for the seventh day Sabbath, as kept by the Churches of Christ? |
| A26918 | Was eating leavened bread forbidden by the Law of Nature? |
| A26918 | Was it not according to the course of Nature? |
| A26918 | Was there no Countrey, nor no persons whose interest would not better suit with another day, or an uncertain day? |
| A26918 | Was this a Heavenly Coversation? |
| A26918 | Was this a help to holiness and Devotion? |
| A26918 | Was this the way to train up youth in the Nurture and Admonition of the Lord? |
| A26918 | Were any of the Authors I before cited either Antichristian or 1200 years after Christ? |
| A26918 | What hearts have those men, that had rather be in an Ale- house, or a Play- house, or asleep, than to be in heart with God? |
| A26918 | What man alive could tell without historical proof that the Canticles, or Esther, are Canonical? |
| A26918 | What must be done in such cases as these? |
| A26918 | What then shall we do? |
| A26918 | What then would these poor people come to, if the Lords day it self must be alsoloitered or played away? |
| A26918 | What time hath the Minister then to come and teach them( if we had such Ministers again as would be at the pains to do it?) |
| A26918 | What, do you account your Love to God, and the Commemoration of his Love in Christ, a toile? |
| A26918 | When doth the Lords day begin? |
| A26918 | When you had rather be elsewhere, and say When will the Sermon and Prayer be done, that I may be at my Work or Play? |
| A26918 | Whether every word in the Decalogue be of the Law of Nature? |
| A26918 | Whether every word in the Decalogue be of the Law of Nature? |
| A26918 | Whether the learning of Gods Word, or the Pleasures and Recreations of the flesh? |
| A26918 | Whether the observation of the first day was not brought into this Island by Antichrist, about 408 or 409 years agoe? |
| A26918 | Whether the seventh day Sabbath be part of the Law of Nature; or only a Positive Law? |
| A26918 | Whether the seventh day Sabbath be part of the Law of Nature; or only a Positive Law? |
| A26918 | Whether the seventh day Sabbath should be still kept by Christians, as of Divine obligation? |
| A26918 | Whether the seventh day Sabbath should be still kept by Christians, as of Divine obligation? |
| A26918 | Who is it that doth not presently fly to historical evidence? |
| A26918 | Whoever heard else that God or man tyed several Countreys to one set day for the private depositing of their own moneys afterward to be distributed? |
| A26918 | Why will you be weary of well doing, that you may do ill? |
| A26918 | Why would you not name those Churches in East and West( which I never read or heard of) yea or that person, that was for the seventh day alone? |
| A26918 | Without historical notice, how should we know that these Books were written by any of the same men that bear their names? |
| A26918 | Without it we should not fully know whether de facto the Church and Ministry dyed, or almost dyed with the Apostles? |
| A26918 | Would not a soul ▪ that loveth God rather say, Alas, how short is the Lords day? |
| A26918 | Would they be companions of the vain in such like vanities? |
| A26918 | Yea, as this man confesseth by their Approbation and Authority? |
| A26918 | and Eternity more valuable than the pleasures of this little time? |
| A26918 | and now shall we accuse him of bringing us under a toylesome task? |
| A26918 | and of perpetual obligation? |
| A26918 | and of perpetual obligation? |
| A26918 | and what use they are like to make of it? |
| A26918 | if it had not been because the Churches used to assemble on this day, and not to appear before God empty( as Dr. Hammond noteth on the Text?) |
| A26918 | methinks should not for shame say that God hath tired them out, and made them too much work already? |
| A26918 | on the first day: Was it not enough to tie them to the contribution, but he must tie them all to one set day to lay it by, or deposite it? |
| A26918 | or at least their opinions? |
| A26918 | or despise ye the Church of God? |
| A26918 | or of such an addition to Divine institutions? |
| A26918 | or to the Mortification of fleshly Lusts? |
| A26918 | to feast your Body on the pleasantest Food? |
| A26918 | to love and converse with your Friend? |
| A26918 | to love and look upon your Corn and Cattle? |
| A26918 | what houres were they which they thought thus separated? |
| A26918 | which do you think it better to leave undone, if one of them must be left undone? |
| A26918 | yea or Ecclesiastes, or the Proverbs, and not the Books of Wisdome and Ecclesiasticus? |
| A69535 | & c. Dost thou believe? |
| A69535 | & c. VVilt thou be baptized? |
| A69535 | & c. have never mentioned any forms but the Lord''s Prayer, if they had appointed such, or desired such to be imposed, and observed? |
| A69535 | & jejunits Parasceven? |
| A69535 | 1 VVHat is your name? |
| A69535 | 1. Who made those Sureties Guardians of the Infants that are neither Parents, nor Pro- parents, nor Owners of them? |
| A69535 | 2. Who gave you that name? |
| A69535 | 23. talketh not of Primitive practice: Ab initio non fuit sic; Was it so in the Apostles daies? |
| A69535 | A Council or a popular custome? |
| A69535 | Acts 3. or in those times? |
| A69535 | Alas, is this the use that is made of all our experiences of the causes and progresse of our Calamities? |
| A69535 | And are we contentious if we erre not with them? |
| A69535 | And do you think this was the course of the Primitive times? |
| A69535 | And is it fit then to compell them to it? |
| A69535 | And is it ill in them? |
| A69535 | And may we not all here see our duty? |
| A69535 | And may we not thus mention orthodox Persons to men that profess they agree with us in Doctrinals, unless we digress to tell you who they be? |
| A69535 | And must we judge all these penitent, and give them the Sacrament as such? |
| A69535 | And must we prove the Antiquity of Liturgies by this, or try ours by it? |
| A69535 | And that God will not even then pardon them upon such repentance, who dares say? |
| A69535 | And where have there been lesse Heresies, Schisms, than in Scotland, where there was no such Liturgy to unite them? |
| A69535 | And why will you in this contradict the later judgement of the Church, expressed in the translation allowed and imposed? |
| A69535 | And would it not have been so with the prayers? |
| A69535 | And yet, there, you think it not a taking too much upon us to keep away the scandalous, if they have their Appeals to you? |
| A69535 | But are Godfathers no more than witnesses? |
| A69535 | But if the living by this be kept from Conversion, and flattered into Hell, will they there call it Charity, that brought them thither? |
| A69535 | But is it not more seasonable, that, in so great businesse, such warning go a considerable time before? |
| A69535 | But really hath liberty to forbear the Liturgy produced such divisions as you mention? |
| A69535 | But where hath God commanded or approved so blind& dangerous an act as this, under the name of Charity? |
| A69535 | But who mean you by the Churches, that must present every Infant that Christ may accept them? |
| A69535 | But with whom will it have these effects? |
| A69535 | But, whether we must be all thus forced? |
| A69535 | Can any thing be spoken plainer, than the Scripture speaks against this course? |
| A69535 | Can there be any hurt or danger in the people''s being taught to understand the Church aright? |
| A69535 | Commandment obligeth you no more to one day in seven, than equally( to all the dayes of your life)? |
| A69535 | Did Christ sanctify all Corn or Bread, or Grapes or Wine to an holy use, when he administred the Lords Supper? |
| A69535 | Did King James cause the Bible to be new translated to so little purpose? |
| A69535 | Did ever August jure, vel injuria was to be esteemed a Believer? |
| A69535 | Do they pray for his Regeneration, whom they account regenerate already? |
| A69535 | Do we not read as much for Ceremonies, as the dissenters use to do against them? |
| A69535 | Do you owe the King no more obedience? |
| A69535 | Dost thou forsake? |
| A69535 | Friend, why camest thou thither? |
| A69535 | How many Sacraments hath Christ ordained? |
| A69535 | How many think the Minister''s Absolution, and the Sacrament, will serve turn, with their unsound hypocritical repentance? |
| A69535 | If Jordan and all other waters be not so far sanctified by Christ, as to be the matter of Baptism, what authority have we to baptise? |
| A69535 | If not such humane Ordinances? |
| A69535 | If this way be done in Hopkin''s, why not in David''s Pslams? |
| A69535 | If we have not here neither, a judgment of discretion, for the conduct of our own actions, What do we with reason? |
| A69535 | If you intend more, Why have you no more? |
| A69535 | If you intended no more, What need you make a Catechism? |
| A69535 | Is every Infant first in the promise of pardon? |
| A69535 | Is it no positive error in the Papists account, that we profess[ to receive these Creatures of Bread and Wine?] |
| A69535 | Is it not work enough for us& you to obey the Laws that he hath made? |
| A69535 | Is not the Question as great, Who shall be the judge of the unfitness of Persons for the Lords Supper? |
| A69535 | Is there no force in an argument drawn from the appearance of evil, the offence and the danger of abuses, when other words enow may serve turn? |
| A69535 | It must then be the Minister, or the man himself; And must we absolve every man that saith he repenteth? |
| A69535 | Must not such a falsification be amended? |
| A69535 | Or, can you shew us a Text that saith( Whoever is Baptized, shall be Saved)? |
| A69535 | Petitions of the Lords Prayer, and set the Preface and Conclusion unto each? |
| A69535 | Quid de Graeca ecclesia dico? |
| A69535 | Some make no restitution for the wrong which they say they repent of: And must we take all these for truly penitent? |
| A69535 | The Churches Primitive practise forbids it to be left to the pleasure of Parents, whether there shall be other Sareties or no? |
| A69535 | We have given you reason enough against the imposition of the usual Ceremonies; and would you draw forth those absolute ones to increase the burden? |
| A69535 | What antient Copy hath( the Seventh day) in the end of the fourth Commandment, instead of the Sabbath day? |
| A69535 | What did your Godfathers and Godmothers do for you in Baptism? |
| A69535 | What if we were pleading for civil Concord among all that are loyal to the King, must we needs digress to tell you who are loyal? |
| A69535 | What is it that you call the Church, that changeth, or may change these? |
| A69535 | What is required of persons to be baptized? |
| A69535 | What? |
| A69535 | When shall we see such Reformation undertaken? |
| A69535 | When the question is, who shall be excluded from the Communion of a particular Church? |
| A69535 | When was Marriage thus consecrated? |
| A69535 | Where hath Christ set you to make such Laws? |
| A69535 | Whether usually the most studious laborious Ministers, be not the most invaletudinary and infirm? |
| A69535 | Who ever called them so? |
| A69535 | Who judged for the Baptizers in the Primitive Church, what persons they should baptize? |
| A69535 | Why are we trusted in the Office? |
| A69535 | Why can you so lightly put off both the practice, and Canons of the Church, in this more then in other such things? |
| A69535 | Why then are Infants baptized, when by reason of their tender age they can not perform them? |
| A69535 | all Children Saved whether they be Children of the Promise or no? |
| A69535 | and is the same, and much more well in the Common Prayer? |
| A69535 | and not, What God can do: Our great Question is, What Children they be that Baptism belongeth to? |
| A69535 | and that what is here consentient to Antiquity, was in it? |
| A69535 | and why should not we look Southward, when the Sun is in the South? |
| A69535 | and, Whose judgment must we follow? |
| A69535 | cur quodragin ● a inde diebus in omni exultatione decurrimus? |
| A69535 | cur stationibus quartam& sextam, sabbati dicamus? |
| A69535 | how small a matter till then, should it be to us to be judged of man? |
| A69535 | if in Meetre, why not in Prose? |
| A69535 | if in a Psalm, why not in a Letany?] |
| A69535 | if the purer times of the Church have one Custome, and later times a contrary, which must we follow? |
| A69535 | no Bread and Wine prepared? |
| A69535 | no warning of any given? |
| A69535 | or can we try our Liturgies by such as this? |
| A69535 | or must we necessarily be contentious for not following both? |
| A69535 | or rather may we not by the example of the Church that changeth them, be allowed to take such things to be matters of Liberty, and not necessity? |
| A69535 | or why we are not tied rather to imitate the purer Ages than the more corrupt? |
| A69535 | or would they have been altogether unmentioned, if they also had been there prescribed to, and used by, the Church, as the Psalmes were? |
| A69535 | should you not have some care to avoid sin your selves, as well as to preserve others from it? |
| A69535 | so that all the wicked men in the world can not chuse but understand us, to speak conditionally? |
| A69535 | though we have proved the contrary to our cost? |
| A69535 | what dolefull things doth this prognosticate you, that prisons or other penalties will not change mens Judgements? |
| A69535 | who will have the gain of this? |
| A69535 | why any more but reading of Scriptures? |
| A69535 | will you phrase and modify your administrations upon such a supposition, that all men are such as they ought to be, and do what they ought to do? |
| A76157 | 14. even multitudes both of men and women? |
| A76157 | 41. but the Apostles that Baptized them, or judged them to be Baptized? |
| A76157 | 5. Who would you have trusted with this Power? |
| A76157 | A Diocesane Bishop is uncapable of doing it faithfully: Could one man Try, Approve and Confirm faithfully, all the Souls in 200 or 300 Churches? |
| A76157 | All Judges, Justices, and other Officers in the Commonwealth, have but a Ministerial Rule as Officers: But is that no Rule? |
| A76157 | And are the Pastour of Christs Church, the only slaves on earth? |
| A76157 | And did not the Bishops Confirm the Baptized, without consulting another Power? |
| A76157 | And do you grudg us such a Power as this? |
| A76157 | And if all these are fit to be Church- members, then we must make a new kind of Churches? |
| A76157 | And is there not need that they should be brought out into the open light, and see their way? |
| A76157 | And shall any man have Christs great, and precious Benefits against his will, and without his Approbation? |
| A76157 | And shall we all joyne to strengthen this potent Enemy? |
| A76157 | And shall we deliberately choose to offer God the worst, the least, the lowest that''s possible to find acceptance? |
| A76157 | And so in Practice, they love no differencing waies: But shall we so far gratifie the Devil and the flesh? |
| A76157 | And the Eunuch said, See here is water, what doth hinder me to be baptized? |
| A76157 | And we see that it is the custom of Hereticks to intrude: And who shall say to any of them, why do you so, if themselves are the only Judges? |
| A76157 | And were it not for this, what blessed work would the Gospel make? |
| A76157 | And what Magistrates were the Approvers for 300 years after Christ? |
| A76157 | And what if I have no infallible Certainty? |
| A76157 | And what if the People think a man unfit, whom the Pastour would Approve and Introduce? |
| A76157 | And what will be his portion, that hath a male in his flock, and offereth the worst, yea the halt and blind to God? |
| A76157 | And when the Church of Christ shall be turned into a den of thieves, or a sty of swine, what a great dishonour is it to the Lord? |
| A76157 | And who could have continued our deformities and divisions, and frustrated such means as have been used for our cure? |
| A76157 | And whose judgment is it, that we must follow, when we go against our own? |
| A76157 | And why then may not those be Christians and Church- members, that never heard of the Name of Christ, as well as many of these? |
| A76157 | And will any man, yea, will Paul, ascribe all this to those that did not so much as Profess the things signified, or the necessary Condition? |
| A76157 | But at least your designe lookes as if you would keep the Children of all such unchristened; and what work would that make? |
| A76157 | But fiat Justitia& ruat coelum: let us trust God with His owne Ordinances: we must do our duty, what ever come of it? |
| A76157 | But hath not Baptism done all this already, seeing we are Baptized into the Name of the Holy Ghost? |
| A76157 | But have we any certainty, that this Ordinance shall prove effectually confirming to us? |
| A76157 | But how do the Churches of France, Holland, Geneva and Scotland, that have exercised Discipline upon all? |
| A76157 | But if once we could but get men to stand in their own places, and to know themselves; how easily then would our message work? |
| A76157 | But if they have tryed it, what kind of Discipline do they exercise? |
| A76157 | But if we shall exercise the Discipline of Christ upon all in our ordinary Parishes, what work shall we make? |
| A76157 | But if you have no fitter for this work and trust, will you cast it upon unfitter or on none? |
| A76157 | But is a Ministerial Rule no Rule? |
| A76157 | But this will encourage tbe Anabaptists and Congregational, in their Express Covenantings, by our coming so neer them? |
| A76157 | But were there not more offenders then the incestuous man at Corinth? |
| A76157 | But what if one part of the Congregation approve of the Person and Profession, and the other disallow it? |
| A76157 | But what if the people would have the Pastour Baptize, Confirm, or introduce an open hereticke, or wicked person in his impenitency? |
| A76157 | But what of that? |
| A76157 | But what proofe is there in Scripture of such an Ordinance, or Practice? |
| A76157 | But why should I go any further in this, when the main substance of my Dispute of Right to the Sacraments proves it? |
| A76157 | Corinth had many offendours, whom Paul in that Epistle reprehendeth: but can you prove that any of them were obstinately Impenitent, after admonition? |
| A76157 | Did not all the Apostles, and every Preacher of the Gospel Baptize those that they convetred, and judge of them whether they were Baptizable? |
| A76157 | Do you find in most Parishes that Ministers are prone to overdo? |
| A76157 | Do you know what the Ministry and this Power is? |
| A76157 | Do you meane that it is by Gods Law, or the Laws of men, that Diocesan Bishops only may Confirm? |
| A76157 | Do you not see how backward Ministers are to Church- Reformation, and Discipline in the exercise, when they have been most forward for the Power? |
| A76157 | Do you think to use it but with few, when Impenitent, scandalous sinners are so many? |
| A76157 | For what can a Minister do himself, if the Church assist him not? |
| A76157 | Have they that talk thus, tried this course, or have they not? |
| A76157 | His dictis interrogandus est, an haec credat, atque observare desideret? |
| A76157 | How can weake professours be drawn to think well of that party, which they see do shun so needfull a Work of God? |
| A76157 | How can you tell how many Paul cast out? |
| A76157 | How dealt he with the woman taken in adultery? |
| A76157 | How improbable a thing is this? |
| A76157 | How little is yet done in it, for all our liberty, after all our Prayers, and petitions, and writing for it? |
| A76157 | How shall they escape that neglect of so great salvation? |
| A76157 | How the Holy Ghost is given before Faith, and after Faith, and how sealed in Baptism, and how not? |
| A76157 | How was it known but by their Profession? |
| A76157 | I know the Discipline is of excellent use, and is likely to have excellent effects: But upon whom? |
| A76157 | I would know of my adversary, what he would do with the Son of a Believer that were unbaptized at 40. or 50. years of age? |
| A76157 | If it be Independancy, how comes it to be approved by Prelates, and Presbyterians? |
| A76157 | If it be Prelacie, how comes it to be found with Independants? |
| A76157 | If it be thus, here, how much worse is it in most parts of the ● ● nd? |
| A76157 | If the People are the Rulers, who are the Ruled? |
| A76157 | If they are sure that they are washt with Christ''s Blood, how can they deny to wash them with that water, that is appointed to signifie and invest? |
| A76157 | If you ask me what shall be done with the rest, seeing they were admitted irregularly, without any Profession of the Faith? |
| A76157 | Is it not the use of the Lords Supper to Confirm us; and do not men there renew their Covenant and Profession? |
| A76157 | Is not this a delusory teaching of the Church, to call unbelief by the name of Negative Faith, or Negative Consent? |
| A76157 | It is a Power that hath Constantly been exercised by the Officers of Christ, and did not men smel out the Tyranny of it till now? |
| A76157 | It is a great trust for a Physician to be trusted with your lives, and a School- master and Tutour with your Children? |
| A76157 | It''s a very great question whether Adam in Innocency had the Spirit or not? |
| A76157 | It''s granted that Heresie cuts off: But how doth Heresie cut off any otherwise then Meritorio ● sly? |
| A76157 | Ministers can not in Conscience alwaies forbeare their Duty, but will set about it? |
| A76157 | Must I be sent to another Nation to know that which I have made tryall of, and attained the certain knowledg of, at home? |
| A76157 | Must we therefore refuse to agree in the practice of the aforesaid Confirmation? |
| A76157 | Now shall we take up with such signes of Christianity, as we see and know are commonly used by Infidels, when we may have better? |
| A76157 | Or a School master the Power of examining, and teaching your children? |
| A76157 | Or if you are not certain that a Sermon shall profit you, will you not hear it? |
| A76157 | Or shall the People therefore Rule these Rulers? |
| A76157 | Or shall we be content that our Churches have as many diseases as will consist with life and being? |
| A76157 | Or that Reading shall profit you, will you not read? |
| A76157 | Or that the Lords Supper shall increase your Grace; will you not use it? |
| A76157 | Or whether this Profession must be approved by the Pastour, of the Church, and known to them that must hold Communion with him? |
| A76157 | Or who but Philip alone was judge of his Profession? |
| A76157 | Or will you grudg a Physician the Power of judging of your disease, and the Remedy, to save your life? |
| A76157 | Or will you have no Tutours or Physicians? |
| A76157 | Shall we thus teach our people to esteem Christianity, as an unobservable thing, by no more observing it? |
| A76157 | The Jews held that an heretical Isralite, had no communion with the Church of Israel: and why? |
| A76157 | Thus farre we are agred: But what if we were not? |
| A76157 | To which saith the Jesuite, What do I heare? |
| A76157 | Were these sinnes but commonly reputed to be as odious as indeed they are, what a change would it make on millions of Souls? |
| A76157 | What Charity can their Doctrine glory of? |
| A76157 | What can be more plainly contrary to Scripture, then for the people by a Major Vote, to Rule those whom God commandeth to obey, as their Rulers? |
| A76157 | What have we to do with the signe, when the thing that occasioned the use of it is ceased? |
| A76157 | What if you have not a certainty that your Prayer shall be granted, will you not therefore pray? |
| A76157 | What is the Tongue made for but to express the mind? |
| A76157 | What mean you by Bishops? |
| A76157 | What need is there then of any more? |
| A76157 | What people did Philip advise with before he Baptized the Eunuch? |
| A76157 | What will the Magistrate do, if he help us not in this case? |
| A76157 | What would you have plainer? |
| A76157 | When will you make us believe, that Paul at that time commanded them to do that which he would not have them do? |
| A76157 | Where do you find that the Church in Scripture- times or after, was wo nt to Excommunicate Apostates? |
| A76157 | Who doubts of that? |
| A76157 | Who judged of Lidia''s Profession, and the Jaylours,( Acts 16) but the Apostles, or other Ministers of Christ? |
| A76157 | Why choose you not better if you know where to find them? |
| A76157 | Why should an Implicit Covenant and Profession be pleaded for? |
| A76157 | Why should we choose Darkness rather then Light? |
| A76157 | Why then should Ministers be forced to Give them against their Consciences? |
| A76157 | Why then should a possibility of Ministers miscarriage, cause you to be more against this, then all the rest? |
| A76157 | Why then should any be against an open Professing, and Covenanting with Christ? |
| A76157 | Why then should the ears of men be abused by the ● ame, when there is nothing to answer it? |
| A76157 | Will Baptism, in the judgment of a wise man, do all this for an Infidel, or one that Professeth not to be a Christian? |
| A76157 | Will any good and peaceable man refuse to joyne with those that think it necessary to Adult Church- membership? |
| A76157 | Would you grudg me the Power of threshing your corn? |
| A76157 | You know Faith in Infants,( such as we call Faith) is not necessary to their Justification; and yet will you say, it is not necessary to the Adult? |
| A76157 | and abundance more) and how can they oblige us more then them? |
| A76157 | and lay this share, and thrust men headlong into Hell, that are running down- hill so fast already: and all under pretence of Charity and Compassion? |
| A76157 | and why might we not hope, that all our people should be saved? |
| A76157 | dost thou think I am a Christian? |
| A76157 | much less if they hinder him? |
| A76157 | would be Baptize him without a profession of actuall Faith of his own, or not? |
| A26934 | 17. be that Then God shall be All in All as before the World began? |
| A26934 | 25. contradict this? |
| A26934 | 51. saith,[ We shall all be changed[ 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉] what could be spoken plainer? |
| A26934 | 7. and all since? |
| A26934 | A Jewish Dream: And how will they know that he is Elias? |
| A26934 | After so many Millions of Miracles? |
| A26934 | All things are still in God, and his Immensity: But if they have no Being in themselves there will be Nothing but God: But will they so continue? |
| A26934 | And Heaven a more glorious state than the Air? |
| A26934 | And a New Earth inhabited only by the righteous, better than one that is Laodicean, or that hath such Enemies of Saints as Gog and Magog? |
| A26934 | And by what warrant shall we say that Christ will for millions quite change this his appointed way? |
| A26934 | And did he not conquer Satan as a Tempter, and triumph even on the Cross? |
| A26934 | And doth he not conquer the Dominion of sin in all his Members? |
| A26934 | And doth his performance dispossess him of his promised Reward, when it was the condition of his Title to it? |
| A26934 | And doth not Christ then make his Enemies his footstool by his Kingly Power? |
| A26934 | And doth punishment end with your Thousand years? |
| A26934 | And for Judgment in special, will Christ be a Thousand years in Exploration and Sentence? |
| A26934 | And have those in the Air any more assurance that they shall not die, than Gods Love, and Will, and Promise, and their Union in Christ? |
| A26934 | And how will they know that it is Christ? |
| A26934 | And if I have seen between 24 and 76 so many Generations, in how short a time would Converted Jews be no Jews? |
| A26934 | And if then we attain it, must it endure but a Thousand years? |
| A26934 | And indeed is the whole understanding( and inferiour) Nature, Devils and Men, thus reconciled? |
| A26934 | And is all this no Kingdom and Reign of Christ? |
| A26934 | And is he not taking off the Curse, the fruit of sin? |
| A26934 | And is it come to that? |
| A26934 | And is not death Conquered to those on Earth that have the foresaid security to ascend and never to die? |
| A26934 | And is not this treading down his Enemies? |
| A26934 | And it is called Life Eternal which we shall possess: And shall Christ have less than we? |
| A26934 | And must all that now possess it be robbed of their Habitations and Estates, to make room for our Jews? |
| A26934 | And procure them free passage through Enemies Lands? |
| A26934 | And shall Christ Preach to them in the Air, and his voice be heard throughout the World, a thousand times further than the Thunder? |
| A26934 | And shall Preachers be sent to them in all Lands at once? |
| A26934 | And shall all Jews on Earth, get together to Jerusalem? |
| A26934 | And shall not Christ and his Kingdom then Exist? |
| A26934 | And shall they quickly learn and speak all the Languages of the Countreys where the Jews are? |
| A26934 | And their National Church honourably united to the Catholick? |
| A26934 | And was he not always subject to him( in his Humanity?) |
| A26934 | And where shall Elias preach to them? |
| A26934 | And who can here find any limitation of this Kingdom to a Thousand years? |
| A26934 | And who should then presume to assert it? |
| A26934 | And who will furnish so many Thousand new inspired Preachers, with Money to carry them through all the VVorld? |
| A26934 | And why must he be deposed? |
| A26934 | And will God from Eternity to Eternity have no Created Being save for Seven Thousand years( or days?) |
| A26934 | Are there any Divine Laws, or not? |
| A26934 | Are they dying all the Thousand years? |
| A26934 | As if our Rest must be so much shorter than Sin and Labour? |
| A26934 | Bear with me you that talk so zealously for the Jews Conversion and Kingdom, while I ask you, How many in London have you converted in your lives? |
| A26934 | But are Christ the Son of Man and his Saints miserable till the end of the Thousand years? |
| A26934 | But if English, French, Spaniards,& c. may be still distinct, why may not Jews and Gentiles? |
| A26934 | But the doubt is, whether Christ shall be ever the less Christ, or King? |
| A26934 | But what is all this to you? |
| A26934 | But where is the present Kingdom of Christ, more gloriously described than in the Prophecies which you call your self the Humble Reader of? |
| A26934 | But why is not at least the Heavenly, or Airy Kingdom given up at first? |
| A26934 | Can any but a Prophet that is inspired to Expound you, tell what you mean by abundance such passages? |
| A26934 | Can it possibly mean any more than Of Him, and Through Him, and To Him are All Things? |
| A26934 | Constantinople was then called not only New- Rome, but New- Sion: And how greatly did it excel Jerusalem in spaciousness, riches, power and glory? |
| A26934 | Do you deny it? |
| A26934 | Doth he not tread down greater Enemies than Turkish Swords, or Papal Inquisitions in every Soul that he converteth? |
| A26934 | Doth it begin the Thousand years or not? |
| A26934 | Doth the Succession begin Seventy five years before the Investiture? |
| A26934 | For whom are All things, and by whom are All things? |
| A26934 | Hath he trod down in you, no Pride, no Lust, no Errour, no Injustice? |
| A26934 | Have you answered all them? |
| A26934 | How could he make us Kings and Priests to God, if he were not King himself? |
| A26934 | How frivolous is your reason from Gods being All in All? |
| A26934 | How shall they believe on him of whom they have not heard? |
| A26934 | How small and barren a spot was Judea,( like our Wales) in comparison of the Roman Christian Empire, in Europe, Asia, and Africa? |
| A26934 | If Christ must be the Conqueror of Death, when will he Conquer, if not when Men die no more? |
| A26934 | If all the Godly, they being I hope a Thousand to one Jew, why should it be called a Jewish Jerusalem or Monarchy? |
| A26934 | If he preach at Stepney, shall they bear him at Westminster, at Tarmouth, at Norwich, and all over the Land, and over all the World at once? |
| A26934 | If he preach in Spain, shall they hear him in Portugal? |
| A26934 | If it be only for the Jews, can any but a Jew believe it? |
| A26934 | If one Man can do so much why have many thousands done so little on the Jews to this day? |
| A26934 | If the Infidel part of the Two Tribes be as many as such think, how much more numerous must all the Posterity of the Ten Tribes be? |
| A26934 | If you mean that Execution will be that Thousand years, can you prove that the Damned shall suffer no longer? |
| A26934 | If you say, God will raise up and send forth Ministers enough, that will be yet a greater Miracle: To give so many Skill, VVill and Zeal? |
| A26934 | If you understand not your own words, how should others understand them? |
| A26934 | Is he also ubiquitary? |
| A26934 | Is he not mortifying them in us day by day? |
| A26934 | Is it after he hath given up his Power and Kingdom? |
| A26934 | Is it humility that so loudly challengeth all the Pastors and Doctors of the Churches to answer you? |
| A26934 | Is not Eternity longer than a Thousand years? |
| A26934 | Is not the Investiture Christs Glorious Appearance? |
| A26934 | Is there any room then for any further dispute of it? |
| A26934 | Is this Doctrine, or the other, more honourable to Christ, and more comfortable to Believers, and more evident in the Word of God? |
| A26934 | Is this any Word of God? |
| A26934 | Is this savouring the things of God, or of Men? |
| A26934 | Is this the Paradise World of Righteousness? |
| A26934 | It seems then it is but the Popes old Zeal, to recover the Holy Land: But what''s this to the Conversion of the Jews? |
| A26934 | May not your case be much the same? |
| A26934 | Must our Concord be held on such humane, loose and unsound terms? |
| A26934 | None of them die after Christs first day of Judgment at his appearing? |
| A26934 | Nor by what means the Jews shall be converted? |
| A26934 | Nor how far Christs Kingdom ceaseth at the end of the Thousand years? |
| A26934 | Nor how far the Princes and Nations among whom they live shall be converted with them? |
| A26934 | Nor how long it will be in doing? |
| A26934 | Nor how the Princes under whom they live will dismiss or use them? |
| A26934 | Nor how they shall after all become a Laodicea, and fuel fit for the Conflagration? |
| A26934 | Nor the Blessed any longer reign with Christ? |
| A26934 | Nor whether Christ shall Reign on Earth visibly in his Humane Nature, or only by a holy Magistracy and Ministry? |
| A26934 | Nor whether all or most of the Jews shall go dwell at the Old Jerusalem, or Judea, or stay in the several Countries where they live? |
| A26934 | Nor whether that fire that burneth the Earth and Heaven, and that which burneth Gog and Magog, make one or two Conflagrations? |
| A26934 | Not in its Paradise or Heavenly State? |
| A26934 | Now when did this reign begin but at his Coming? |
| A26934 | Of the New Earth; what is certain, and what uncertain? |
| A26934 | Or enough cured of the love of Riches, to leave their Trades and Wealth behind them? |
| A26934 | Or how? |
| A26934 | Or if in Holland, or Rome, shall they hear him in England? |
| A26934 | Or if their death shall endure no longer than the Thousand years? |
| A26934 | Or must he stay long enough to go over all the Earth? |
| A26934 | Or the Church ever the less his Kingdom at the End of a Thousand years? |
| A26934 | Or were there no treading down of the Enemies of King Jesus? |
| A26934 | Or where did the Apostle give any intimation of his reigning but at his Coming? |
| A26934 | Seeing we ascribe to Christs Kingdom so much more than they that we oppose, why should they be thought to extol his Kingdom more than we? |
| A26934 | Shall Christ in the Air be seen at once in Persia, Greece, Rome, Portugal, and all Nations where there be Jews? |
| A26934 | Shall Preachers so quickly be made, when no Countrey have enough for their needful work at home? |
| A26934 | Shall they have either of these? |
| A26934 | Some say that Elias shall come and Convert them? |
| A26934 | That the Off- spring of the scattered, cursed, sottish Enemies of Christ, shall be so much preferred before all the Godly through the World? |
| A26934 | Then sure, this New Jerusalem must be setled in all Kingdoms, where the Godly dwell: And shall they every where be Lords? |
| A26934 | There is not one word of God that confineth Christs Kingdom to a Thousand years; and what are you that you should presume to do it? |
| A26934 | There were no Jews restrained from going thither that desired it: And would you have them forced, or sent thither with a Pass? |
| A26934 | These are Christs Enemies, because they are ours; even the diseases which he came to cure? |
| A26934 | This poor shift is answered above: Do you not say, Those alive are in the same Glorious Kingdom? |
| A26934 | Thus is Gods Goodness and Severity glorified: And what word in that Chapter proper to the Jews is not fulfilled? |
| A26934 | To cause them to speak with all the Languages of the Nations? |
| A26934 | VViil their case be so long undecided? |
| A26934 | Very good; who denyeth that God is or will be All in All? |
| A26934 | Was not death Conquered to the Person of Christ, after his Resurrection, though he was at his Ascension to be taken up? |
| A26934 | We see that God put Souls into Bodies in this World: And can you prove that he never did so before from all Eternity? |
| A26934 | Were all the seven Vials poured out after the Resurrection? |
| A26934 | Were they converted when Godfrey and others recovered it? |
| A26934 | What Conversion the Twelve Tribes have already had? |
| A26934 | What Conversion the Twelve Tribes have already had? |
| A26934 | What an Empire would the Jews of England, Spain, Portugal, Turky,& c. make? |
| A26934 | What could he do more? |
| A26934 | What could they now desire for their return more than they then had? |
| A26934 | What could you have said more strongly against your self? |
| A26934 | What do you think those words do mean? |
| A26934 | What greater liberty, or encouragement, or help? |
| A26934 | What is meant by Giving up the Kingdom? |
| A26934 | What is the Succession? |
| A26934 | What is the difference between the Beginning of the Succession and the Glorious Investiture? |
| A26934 | What outward honour can they expect more? |
| A26934 | What words can we desire God to use more plain, that Men may not pervert? |
| A26934 | When doth Christs Kingdom begin? |
| A26934 | When we fight not against flesh and blood, but against Principalities and Powers, and spiritual wickedness in high places? |
| A26934 | Whether it be true that Christ was eternally a Man, having an eternal Kingdom as Man; but not as the Son of Man after the Millennium? |
| A26934 | Whether there be any Jerusalem Monarchy of Jews, or any further Conversion of them, more than of other Men, promised by God? |
| A26934 | Whether there be any Jerusalem Monarchy of Jews, or any further Conversion of them, more than of other men promised by God? |
| A26934 | Whether this Eternal Word, did first unite it self to the Prime Being of the Creation? |
| A26934 | Whether we were in God before the World began, and how? |
| A26934 | Who did the Godly desire should be in Power, rather their Bishops that came newly out of the Furnace of Tryal? |
| A26934 | Will Christ now turn against his own uniting Design and Kingdom, and set up Moses again and his Policy? |
| A26934 | Will the wicked so long be untryed and uncondemned, or the Faithful so long unjustified, or by Sentence judged to Salvation? |
| A26934 | Will they be Rich enough to bear the charge of their Transplantation? |
| A26934 | You deny Christ, if you deny him to be King: Will you not obey him as King, till the Trumpet sound, and he come to the final Judgment? |
| A26934 | and especially in the Apocalypse( if it be not you only that understand it?) |
| A26934 | and how shall they Preach unless they be sent? |
| A26934 | and how shall they hear without a Preacher? |
| A26934 | and is it not till the Resurrection?) |
| A26934 | and that none are perfect till all are perfect? |
| A26934 | or so much as one Cluverus alone, or James Calvert whom you promised me to answer? |
| A26934 | or yet that some of them are damned in the beginning, and some not till the end of the Thousand years? |
| A26934 | when on Earth they would not know him; but imputed his Miracles to Beelzebub? |
| A26853 | & jejuniis Parasceven? |
| A26853 | 14,& c.) have never- mentioned any Forms but the Lords Prayer, if they had appointed such, or desired such to be imposed, and observed? |
| A26853 | 23. talketh not( of primitive practice) ab initio non fuit sic; was it so in the Apostles dayes? |
| A26853 | 32. if not such humane Ordinances? |
| A26853 | A Council, or a popular Custom? |
| A26853 | Acts 3. or in those times? |
| A26853 | And are we contentious if we erre not with them? |
| A26853 | And do you think this was the course of the Primitive times? |
| A26853 | And how injurious is it to the Publick Officers of Christ, the Bishops and Pastors of the Churches, to be called private men? |
| A26853 | And if now the Ministers may Pray standing, why may not the People receive standing? |
| A26853 | And is it fit then to compel them to it? |
| A26853 | And is it indeed( a power too great and arbitrary) to have a judicium discretionis about our own Acts? |
| A26853 | And may we not all here see our duty? |
| A26853 | And may we not thus mention Orthodox persons to men that profess they agree with us in Doctrinals ▪ unless we digress to tell you who they be? |
| A26853 | And must we absolve every man that saith he repenteth? |
| A26853 | And must we ● udge all these penitent, and give them the Sacrament as such? |
| A26853 | And that God will not even then pardon them upon such repentance, who dares say? |
| A26853 | And the first question is not, who shall be judge? |
| A26853 | And we beseech you, let the Scripture be judge, whether the Confessions and Prayers of the Servants of God have not been particular? |
| A26853 | And what Lyturgy was imposed upon Constantine the Emperour? |
| A26853 | And where have there been less Heresies, Schisms, then in Scotland, where there was no such Liturgie to unite them? |
| A26853 | And whether it be a sign of the right and ingenuine spirit of Religion, to sub ● ect to such a ceremony? |
| A26853 | And who knows not that a man may think well of his Superiours, that yet may question whether all that he teacheth or commandeth him, be lawful? |
| A26853 | And whose judgement must we follow? |
| A26853 | And why not the word[ Sabbath- day] be put for the[ Seventh- d ●] in the end: Must not ● uch a ● alsification be amended? |
| A26853 | And why then should the Gift of Prayer( distinct from Reading) be cast out? |
| A26853 | And why you forbear giving the truer sense of the Text? |
| A26853 | And will not all this seem to tell you who are Orthodox? |
| A26853 | But are Godfathers no more than Witnesses? |
| A26853 | But how prove you that we would take it ill, to be our selves, or have those we speak of accounted ignorant in such things as these? |
| A26853 | But if the living by this be kept from connversion, and flattered into Hell, will they there call it charity that brought them thither? |
| A26853 | But if therefore you will have no more particulars, why do you use any Prayer but the Lords Prayer? |
| A26853 | But is it not more seasonable that in so great business such warning go a considerable time before? |
| A26853 | But really, hath liberty to forbear the Liturgie produced such divisions as you mention? |
| A26853 | But who mean you by the Churches that must present every Infant that Christ may accept them? |
| A26853 | But with whom will it have these effects? |
| A26853 | Can there be any hurt or danger in the peoples being taught, to understand the Church aright? |
| A26853 | Commandment, instead of the Sabbath- day? |
| A26853 | Cur stationibus quartam& sextam, sabbati dicamus? |
| A26853 | Did Christ sanctifie all Corn, or Bread, or Grapes, or Wine to an holy use, when he administred the Lords Supper? |
| A26853 | Did not Christ know the propriety of Sacraments better than we? |
| A26853 | Do they pray for his Regeneration, whom they account regenerate already? |
| A26853 | Do we not read as much for Ceremonies, as the dissenters use to do against them? |
| A26853 | Do you find this the way of the Saints in Scripture? |
| A26853 | Do you owe the King no more obedience? |
| A26853 | Friend, why camest thou hither? |
| A26853 | How many Sacraments hath Christ ordained,& c? |
| A26853 | How many think the Ministers absolution, and the Sacrament, will serve turn, with their unsound hypocritical repentance? |
| A26853 | If Jordan and all other waters, be not so far sanctified by Christ, as to be the matter of Baptism, what Authority have we to baptize? |
| A26853 | If by[ in the Church,] you mean[ not by the Church,] but by any part in the Church; how shall we know that they did well? |
| A26853 | If in Metre, why not in Prose? |
| A26853 | If it be the National Church of England, they are the Kings Subjects; and why may he not forbid a Ceremony which they command? |
| A26853 | If the purer times of the Church have one custome, and latter times a contrary, which must we follow? |
| A26853 | If there had been a stated Form before imposed on the Churches, what room could there be for this course? |
| A26853 | If this may be done in Hopkins, why not in Davids Psalms? |
| A26853 | Is every Infant first in the Promise of pardon? |
| A26853 | Is it no positive Errour in the Papists account, that we profess[ To receive these Creatures of Bread and Wine?] |
| A26853 | Is it not work enough for us and you, to obey the Laws that he hath made? |
| A26853 | Is not the question as great, who shall be judge of the unfitness of persons for the Lord''s Supper? |
| A26853 | Is this the use that is made of all our experiences of the causes and progress of our Calamities? |
| A26853 | May Magistrates, or the Church rhus urge their commands? |
| A26853 | Must none be tender Conscienced, that dare not venture to obey you in such things? |
| A26853 | Rep. 1. Who made those Sureties Guardians of the Infants that are neither Parents, nor Pro- parents, not Owners of them? |
| A26853 | Rep. What, all Children saved, whether they be Children of the Promise or no? |
| A26853 | Should you not have some care to avoid sin your selves, as well as to preserve others from it? |
| A26853 | So that all the wicked men in the world can not chuse but understand us to speak conditionally? |
| A26853 | Some make no restitution for the wrong which they say they repent of: And must we take all those for truly penitent? |
| A26853 | That those words[ with my body I thee worship] may be altered thus:[ with my body I thee honour?] |
| A26853 | The Cross signifieth our not being ashamed to profess the Faith of Christ crucified,& c.] do you call that something[ that is decent?] |
| A26853 | To your third Rule we adde; It is first considerable, what the thing is? |
| A26853 | We have given you Reason enough against the Imposition of the usual Ceremonies; and would you draw forth those absolute ones to encrease the burden? |
| A26853 | We hope you intend not to make any believe, that our turning the Adjective into an Adverb, was our Reformation? |
| A26853 | What did your Godfathers and Godmothers do for you in Baptism? |
| A26853 | What hurt is it to us, to use a Cross or other Ceremony, if it were not for fear of disobeying God? |
| A26853 | What if we were pleading for civil co ● cord among all that a ● e loyal to the King, must we needs digress to tell you who are loyal? |
| A26853 | What is it, that you call the Church that changeth, or may change these? |
| A26853 | What is required of persons to be Baptized? |
| A26853 | What then is the priviledge of the Seed of the Faithful, that they are Holy, and that the Covenant is made with them, and God will be their God? |
| A26853 | What will not serve to justifie that which we have a mind to justifie, and to condemn that which we have a mind to condemn? |
| A26853 | When the question is,[ Who shal be excluded from the Communion of a particular Church?] |
| A26853 | When was Marriage thus consecrated? |
| A26853 | Whether usually the most studious laborious Ministers, be not the most invaletudinary and infirm? |
| A26853 | Who gave you that Name? |
| A26853 | Why are we trusted in the Office? |
| A26853 | Why can you so lightly put off, both the Practice and Canons of the Church in this, more than in other such things? |
| A26853 | Why should it be called[ A bare pretence of Scruples?] |
| A26853 | Why then are Infants baptized, when by reason of their tender age they can not perform them? |
| A26853 | Will you call this a punishing them for their Fathers sakes, that God hath extended his Covenant to no more? |
| A26853 | Will you phrase and modifie your administrations upon such a supposition, that all men are such as they ought to be, and do what they ought to do? |
| A26853 | Would you have had us said[ from sudden and unprepared death?] |
| A26853 | and deprive thousands of Souls of the Preaching of the Gospel, that consented not to their Pastor''s non- conformity? |
| A26853 | and is it ill in them? |
| A26853 | and is the same, and much more, well in the Common Prayer? |
| A26853 | and not to be forced to baptize the Children of Heathens against our Consciences? |
| A26853 | and the Edge of it be turned from those that fear sinning, to those that fear it not? |
| A26853 | and then, how it is apprehended? |
| A26853 | and why should we not look Southward when the Sun is in the South? |
| A26853 | and yet there you think it not a taking too much upon us, to keep away the scandalous, if they have their Appeals to you? |
| A26853 | but whether we must be all thus forced? |
| A26853 | can any thing be spoken plainer then the Scripture speaks against this course? |
| A26853 | cur quadraginta inde diebus in omni exulcatione deturrimus? |
| A26853 | do you mean, Necessitate n ● turali,& irresistibili? |
| A26853 | if in a Psalm, why not in a Letany?] |
| A26853 | no Bread and Wine prepared? |
| A26853 | no warning of any given? |
| A26853 | or can we try our Lyturgy by such as this? |
| A26853 | or excuse disorder on that pretence? |
| A26853 | or must we necessarily be contentious for not following both? |
| A26853 | or rather, may we not by the example of the Church that changeth them, be allowed to take such things to be matters of Liberty, and not Necessity? |
| A26853 | or what Bishops or Synods, were then the makers of Lyturgies, when he himself made publick Prayers for himself and Auditory, and for his Soldiers? |
| A26853 | or why should they command it if he forbid it? |
| A26853 | or why we are not tyed rather to imitate the purer Ages then the more corrupt? |
| A26853 | when there is no Sacrament by himself or us intended? |
| A26853 | who are publick persons in the Church, if they be not? |
| A26853 | who judged for the Baptizers in the primitive Church, what persons they should baptize? |
| A26853 | who will have the gain of this? |
| A26853 | why any more but reading of Scriptures? |
| A26853 | why made he none for Postures, and Vestures, and Words, and Teaching Signs of this nature, if he would have had them? |
| A27001 | 11, 14. that they that should ever after be called, might not expect a voice from Heaven to their ears, but might be called in Christs appointed way? |
| A27001 | 2. and other Gnostick Hereticks in the Apostles daies, did deal by them, and the Church then as you do by us now? |
| A27001 | 3. just as you do now against Magistrates and Ministers? |
| A27001 | 4. and applied it? |
| A27001 | And consequently of the need he hath of the Physician? |
| A27001 | And do not these men justifie the bloudy opposers of them, and condemn Gods Saints afresh? |
| A27001 | And do not these wretches justifie their murderers? |
| A27001 | And do not we do so as well as they? |
| A27001 | And do not you counsel men to the sin of Iudas or of Ananias and Sephira? |
| A27001 | And do you well consider what fruits they here bring forth, and now likely they are to be shortly quite corrupted, if a speedy stop be not made? |
| A27001 | And how much England yet feels it self beholden to Separation and Anabaptistry? |
| A27001 | And if the Apostles and first Church Officers might take all, May not we take the Tenths, when they are thus Devoted? |
| A27001 | And if you will stick to the English, you may finde the word[ Master] used oft enough: And if it be lawfull for another man why not for a Minister? |
| A27001 | And is it not apparent pride in them to set up themselves so far above all the people of God on earth? |
| A27001 | And is it possible that any man in this life, that is not mad with spiritual pride, can indeed believe that he hath no sin? |
| A27001 | And is not God very patient that causeth not the earth to open and swallow you up quick as it did them? |
| A27001 | And may not all the world command me on these terms as well as you? |
| A27001 | And therefore seeing God calleth Ministers the Rulers of the Church, are they not so far Masters as the word Master signifieth a Guide or Teacher? |
| A27001 | And this Informant further saith, that the said M. Coppinger asked him, What kinde of Opinions in Religion there were in Bristol? |
| A27001 | And whether God do not visibly testifie against them from Heaven, in giving up their disciples to all kinde of abominations? |
| A27001 | And whether it be not the Seperated and Anapaptists Churches that are emptied by the Quakers? |
| A27001 | And why do you not plainly Teach, but ask Questions? |
| A27001 | And why else are they oft called Teachers? |
| A27001 | And why so? |
| A27001 | Are all Dogs and Serpents with you that have not that Infallible Spirit? |
| A27001 | Are not the Ministers whom these men despise, of the same calling and practice as those were that suffered death in the Flames in Q. Maries daies? |
| A27001 | Are you not then on their side and possest with the same Spirit? |
| A27001 | Ask them, Whether the Butcheries of the Waldenses, and the Irish murders were done by a true Church? |
| A27001 | But I pray you if an hourglasse be unlawful, tell us whether a Clock be lawful, or a Diall, or a Watch? |
| A27001 | But have you not bewraied your deceitfulnesse in refusing to consent that I should come and answer your Questions? |
| A27001 | But your Prater told me, it was a limiting of the Spirit of God; As if I can not limit my self and not limit the Spirit? |
| A27001 | Can he have so little knowledge of himself? |
| A27001 | Can that man that hath one spark of grace believe that he hath no sin? |
| A27001 | Dare you cast out the holy worship of Christ as false worship, and seek to draw people into the contempt of it? |
| A27001 | Dare you damn those Churches and millions of Saints that Christ hath bought with his precious bloud? |
| A27001 | Dare you meet the Messengers of Christ in the face, and tell them they are Liars and deceivers? |
| A27001 | Dare you say to Christ, we will not be beholden to thee for thy bloud to wash us any more, or to thy Intercession to pard on us any more? |
| A27001 | Did the Apostles stint the Spirit because they appointed their meetings on the Lords Day, and did not stay two or three daies together? |
| A27001 | Did they not preach in Pulpits, and take Tythes or money for preaching as their due maintenance, and the other things that the Quakers accuse us for? |
| A27001 | Do not you receive meat and drink, to sustain your lives? |
| A27001 | Do not you shew by this, that you are children of the Darkenesse, and the Works of darknesse you are carrying on? |
| A27001 | Do you ask this as Learners? |
| A27001 | Do you beleeve the Scriptures to be true or not? |
| A27001 | Greetings in the market- place when did I desire? |
| A27001 | Hath Scripture told you at what place you shall meet, or at what hour? |
| A27001 | Have you not seen a Sheet of Paper Published by M. Prin, Containing an Oath of a Citizen of Bristol taken before the Magistrates of that Citie? |
| A27001 | Have you soberly read what I have there wrote already? |
| A27001 | Have you well considered into what your Societies were resolved in Germany and other parts? |
| A27001 | I also therefore demand of you, Whether he that hath seen God do not abhor himself( as Iob did) in dust and ashes? |
| A27001 | I can witnesse it of most of my acquaintance that are such? |
| A27001 | I have shewed you in my other Book, where it commandeth allowing sufficient Maintenance? |
| A27001 | IF you further ask me, Why the Papists are so diligent in these kinde of works? |
| A27001 | If You ask me, how I know that it is Papists who thus seduce them? |
| A27001 | If all have it, why may not I have it? |
| A27001 | If all have sufficient light within them, what need there any converting grace? |
| A27001 | If all have sufficient light within them, what need you go up and down to teach or perswade them? |
| A27001 | If the world have sufficient light, what need they your teaching, or discourse, or conviction? |
| A27001 | If we say that we have no sinne we deceive our selves, and the truth is not in us? |
| A27001 | Is all your hearing and praying come to this? |
| A27001 | Is it like to be Gods way which so ordinarily leadeth to end endeth in such desperate evils? |
| A27001 | Is it needless light that you bring then, or is i ● hellish darknesse? |
| A27001 | Is it not a most sottish trick of you to go up and down prating and commanding, and yet refuse to shew your Commission from God? |
| A27001 | Is it not damnable Hypocrisie in these wretches, to prate so much of Scripture, and call for Scripture, while they thus deny it to be Gods Word? |
| A27001 | Is it not lawfull to take and use that which is so Dedicated? |
| A27001 | Is it not part of their present businesse to do your work, and cry down Infant- Baptism? |
| A27001 | Is it not then the same Spirit by which you and all these were or are acted? |
| A27001 | Is it the Ministers or the Quakers that watch for the good of souls, and have the rule over them? |
| A27001 | Is it therefore lawfull to call Perer so, or any faithfull Servants of Christ? |
| A27001 | Is it your Ministry or ours that they bend their force against? |
| A27001 | Is this agreeable to your practise who damn men that despise not and reject not Christs most upright and faithful Ministers? |
| A27001 | It is a most certain thing that God allowed the Priests the Tythes, and much more, when he thus cried out against them, Dare you deny that? |
| A27001 | Judge therefore whether your Lying Spirit be the Spirit of God or the meet authour of Reformation, or whether indeed you are perfect without sin? |
| A27001 | Know you not that it was then the common practice of the Church to reade, expound, and apply the Scriptures, as Ezra did? |
| A27001 | Know you not that there is Doctrine, Reason, and Use in all the Sermons and Epistles of the Apostles? |
| A27001 | Moreover, were they not the same sort of Ministers which the late Bishops silenced, suspended, and otherwise troubled, and which you revile at? |
| A27001 | O ● had Con ● lius sufficient light within him before Peter preached to him? |
| A27001 | One of the Queres which they here put to me is[ What expresse Scripture I have for Infant Baptism? |
| A27001 | Only to your Query, I will adde this Query to your Founders the Anabaptists: Whether by this time they do not feel Gods plagues upon their party? |
| A27001 | Or as Teachers? |
| A27001 | Or can he have any taste of that Spirit of Christ in himself that doth not even feel that their proud and railing language is of the devil? |
| A27001 | Or did Christ give him needlesly a light from heaven, and by Ananias his doctrine? |
| A27001 | Or did Christ send them a needlesse light by his Apostles? |
| A27001 | Or do you ask it for matter to feed your prating and slandring? |
| A27001 | Or had all the world sufficient light within them before Christ sent abroad his Apostles to preach the Gospel to them? |
| A27001 | Or is it now sufficient to all that never heard the Gospel; If so, Is not the Gospel a vain and needlesse thing? |
| A27001 | Or to be called Rabbi? |
| A27001 | Prove this of us if you can? |
| A27001 | Shall I freely tell you whence all this comes? |
| A27001 | Shew where it condemneth the Tenth part any more then the ninth, or the eleventh, or twelfth? |
| A27001 | Speak plainly and let us know whether you are indeed Papists or Pagans? |
| A27001 | Such as Bradford, Hooper, Latimer, Ridly, Cranmer, Saunders, Philpot, and the rest; Were not these called Masters? |
| A27001 | Tell me if you can? |
| A27001 | That he doth love God in the highest degree that he is bound to do? |
| A27001 | That he never hath a thought or word that is sinful, nor sinfully loseth one minute of his time? |
| A27001 | They being used by the Church till the Apostles times, where do you finde that they did ever forbid or abolish that use? |
| A27001 | Though Christ hath said, Iudge not that ye be not judged, and who art thou that judgest another mans Servant? |
| A27001 | To your Question, What I think of these men? |
| A27001 | Translating excludeth not the necessity of explicating; And who knows not that one English word hath many significations? |
| A27001 | Was it not the same Ministers that thou you scorn''d whom ye now reproach with far greater bitternesse( if you do as those whom you pleade for do?) |
| A27001 | Was it not the same Ordinances that you despised before Conversion, which you now much more desp ● se? |
| A27001 | Was it sufficient before Christ preached the Gospel and sent his Apostles? |
| A27001 | Was that light in Paul which perswaded him that he ought to do many things against the name of Jesus, sufficient to convert him to the Faith of Jesus? |
| A27001 | Was there ever a Generation of men on whom the Image of the devil was more visible then on these? |
| A27001 | What think you? |
| A27001 | What was it that you feared? |
| A27001 | What would you answer if a Iew or a Turk, or a Witch, should put this Question? |
| A27001 | When you hate the Light because your Deeds are Evil? |
| A27001 | Where doth any Scripture forbid paying or taking Tythes? |
| A27001 | Whether I, or other Ministers do ask the people so much for preaching as the Quakers receive themselves? |
| A27001 | Whether ever the earth bore men that did more proudly despise others in comparison of themselves? |
| A27001 | Whether have you read any of those Books that are written long ago, to prove that Tythes are still of Divine Right? |
| A27001 | Whether it be not the same Spirit which moveth in you and in the Papists? |
| A27001 | Whether you mean it is sufficient to leave men without excuse,( That we maintain as well as you) or is every mans light sufficient to his salvation? |
| A27001 | Why must you know this? |
| A27001 | Why then do you not shew your Commission to teach? |
| A27001 | Why would you send me Queries which you would not give me leave to answer by Speech? |
| A27001 | Will not all this suffice you? |
| A27001 | Will you give us leave to smell the Pope in your endeavours to disgrace the Scriptures, though your own Noses be stopt? |
| A27001 | YOur first Query is,[ What''s the first Principle of the pure Religion?] |
| A27001 | Yea, Whether they did not in the Primitive times, so Dedicate all? |
| A27001 | Your 11th Query is,[ Whether we have seen Gods face?] |
| A27001 | Your second Query is[ Whether they are a Church of Christ that beat and persecute them that witnesse forth the Truth in his Name? |
| A27001 | [ Whether we have the same infallible Spirit as the holy men of God had that spoke forth the Scriptures?] |
| A27001 | and Caused the French Massacre? |
| A27001 | and Matthew, Mark, Luke and John be the Gospel, and whether there were any Gospel before them, and whether they be the light?] |
| A27001 | and for you, in ignorance to run about with the Shell on your head, exclaiming to the world of the ignorance of your late Teachers? |
| A27001 | and hath by flames and sword drawn out the bloud of so many hundred thousand true Christians? |
| A27001 | and whether is it the Spirit of God or of the devil and Antichrist that the Quakers speak by? |
| A27001 | and whether the true knowledge of God do not ever abase the soul, and make a man very mean in his own eyes? |
| A27001 | and whether their language savour of the Spirit of the Lamb of God? |
| A27001 | and whether they are yet resolved to wink on to destruction, or to stay till all turn Quakers, Ranters or infidels? |
| A27001 | and why one is more unlawful then another? |
| A27001 | and will they have in the end a better bargain of it to hearken to their Rulers or to the despisers of them? |
| A27001 | is,[ What is the flaming Sword that keeps the Tree of life, and what the Cherubims?] |
| A27001 | is,[ Whether Christ enlighteneth every one that cometh into the world?] |
| A27001 | is,[ Whether do you own trembling and quaking which the Scripture witnesseth?] |
| A27001 | is,[ Whether do you say you shall be free from the body of sin while you are on the earth, and whether shall any be perfect yea or nay?] |
| A27001 | is,[ Whether the Bible be the Word of God? |
| A27001 | is,[ Whether we own Revelations or no?] |
| A27001 | or are you Christians that dare so affirm? |
| A27001 | or whether it be lawful to observe by the Sun how the time passeth? |
| A27001 | that he transgresseth no Law? |
| A27001 | what? |
| A65610 | ( except your necessary rest;) And that your time and wealth are but his talen ● s? |
| A65610 | Alas, sirs, have you all this to do? |
| A65610 | And are you ready with well grounded hope and peace, to wellcome death, and appear in judgement? |
| A65610 | And bethink your selves whether a servant may say, I will do less work than my fellow servants, because I have more wages? |
| A65610 | And hereby shew that your Repentance is hypocritical, and will not prove the pardon of your sin? |
| A65610 | And is it not worse that you deal with God? |
| A65610 | And therefore the common excuse of such twatlers is this: I hope that it is no harm: yea, but what good was it? |
| A65610 | And to increase our pity, when they have done they ask,[ What harm is there in cards and dice, in stage- playes and Romances? |
| A65610 | And when he saw him fit for an admonition, would wisely bestow it upon him? |
| A65610 | And whether God have not only the leavings of your flesh? |
| A65610 | And whether those things which should have none, and those which should have little, have not almost all? |
| A65610 | And whether you may do less for God, because he giveth you more than others? |
| A65610 | And why then in Baptism did you renounce them and vow to follow Christ? |
| A65610 | And will you yet live so contrary to your prayers, to your consciences, and to reason it self? |
| A65610 | And yet have you Time to spare on Vanity? |
| A65610 | Are you regenerate and rènewed to the Heavenly nature? |
| A65610 | Are you strong and stablished in grace? |
| A65610 | Are your hearts in Heaven? |
| A65610 | As if he had said Ho, Sir, it is time to get up; what not out of your b ● d yet, at this time of the day? |
| A65610 | Believe it, O man and Woman, it is to do all that ever must be done, to prepare for an everlasting life? |
| A65610 | But alas, how do the common sort of men bewray their monstrous folly in this behalf? |
| A65610 | But if you say, Yea; I pray you then tell us how much Time Christ or any of his Apostles, did spend at cards, or dice, or stage- playes? |
| A65610 | Did they waste so much of the day, in nothings, and need- nots as our slothful sensual Gentry do? |
| A65610 | Did you ever find such a prayer in any Prayer book? |
| A65610 | Do you believe that you must give an account of your Time? |

| A27008 | 1. Who is it that this man converseth with whose confident reports he published? |
| A27008 | 36, 37. and receive Children in Christs name, and as belonging to Christ, if none do visibly belong to him? |
| A27008 | Abuse not your selves and others: we are first to agree Whether Infants may be Church members, and under the Covenant of Grace with their Parents? |
| A27008 | All Promises of Pardon to the Adult are conditional, and some means for certain Title is prescribed? |
| A27008 | And by what means is it? |
| A27008 | And did Paul flee like a Hireling when he went from places of less liberty to other more commodious places to Preach? |
| A27008 | And do you think that Paul mentioneth that as a great and comfortable priviledge of Believers, which belongs to Heathens equally with them? |
| A27008 | And do you think then that they befriend Christ or his Church, who turn the Sacrament of our Union into the occasion of our great Division? |
| A27008 | And how proveth he that I was lowdly called to suffer? |
| A27008 | And how will men answer the non- performance hereof any more than their not Praying for them, or not feeding or Cloathing them? |
| A27008 | And if I give an hundred pounds to one man, when I owed him no more than others, doth that make him for the future become my Charge?) |
| A27008 | And if Infants be not added to the Church, are they not excluded from Salvation? |
| A27008 | And if so, alas, will he put no bounds to this sin, while he thinks that he cryeth down our sin? |
| A27008 | And is that a safe way of Repenting? |
| A27008 | And is your impatient and general Invectives, and your self- justifying, an infallible proof of your great Wisdome? |
| A27008 | And no one can know who any of these be? |
| A27008 | And what Law shall Infants then be judged by? |
| A27008 | And whether he did so from the beginning of the world, or after his Incarnation? |
| A27008 | And who can say in all the world, that any Child of his hath any part in such a Promise? |
| A27008 | And why should I suspect such incapacity? |
| A27008 | And why? |
| A27008 | And yet what other than this feigned Antinomian Justification do the Anabaptists allow to any Infants in the world? |
| A27008 | Answer, I am more willing to do it than not, but I am not able: I do believe( according to the measure of the aforesaid evidence) that it is a Truth? |
| A27008 | Are his Reporters infected with his Disease? |
| A27008 | Are they Justified or not Justified? |
| A27008 | Are this mans Citations to be credited? |
| A27008 | Ask any Impartial man whether you write like one that knoweth himself? |

| A27008 | But how shall other mens Experiences be known to me, but by Report or Fame? |
| A27008 | But if you will say that it is conditional, what is that Condition? |
| A27008 | But let the question be whether I did well to believe it? |
| A27008 | But should I not yet disbelieve it? |
| A27008 | But the last Question is, Have I not wronged their Cause by wronging the Persons, in believing Fame, that ever any of them Baptized naked? |
| A27008 | But what if I be foolish, and you be wise? |
| A27008 | But, Reader, what''s all this to the Question, Whether our Infants are in Covenant with Christ, or Visible Members of his Church? |
| A27008 | But, Sir, I am not so much as a Hireling? |
| A27008 | By what Law am I condemned to such a Drudgery? |
| A27008 | Can he prove that I said[ All Baptized naked?] |
| A27008 | Can not you suffer fools gladly, seeing you your selves are wise? |
| A27008 | Christ is the Owner? |
| A27008 | Dare you not own the Contraries, and yet continue your accusation of my words? |
| A27008 | Did I begin with Mr. D. or he with me? |
| A27008 | Did Paul sin for not scourging and imprisoning himself? |
| A27008 | Did you hear his case, or do you judge before you hear it? |
| A27008 | Do I need to answer my own words, before any Charge against them be proved, or proof once attempted? |
| A27008 | Do any Nations under Heaven level all Children, as if the Parents communicated neither good or evil to them? |
| A27008 | Do you mean that you doubt whether ever the Anabaptists will have Power enough to effect it? |
| A27008 | Either it is a Mercy or no Mercy to be in Christs Family or Church? |
| A27008 | Ergo I should not Preach in the Parish Churches? |
| A27008 | Ergo R. B. should not Preach in the Summer in the Country? |
| A27008 | Ergo he sinned in avoiding suffering oft before? |
| A27008 | Ergo we must make our own Cross, and take up that instead of Christs? |
| A27008 | From my Arguments, which take in the whole Party? |
| A27008 | Had he done it truly and fully, had that been any Argument against them? |
| A27008 | Have I said any thing offensive to him, besides the detecting of his marvellous audacity in strange heaps of untruths in matters of Fact? |
| A27008 | Have all the Anabaptists and Separatists lived all this while in sin, that lived out of Prison? |
| A27008 | Have they no need of Pardon, and a Saviour? |
| A27008 | Have they not Right of Inheritance and Honour; even of Crowns, Lordships, and Lands? |
| A27008 | He saith, it is my scope and design? |

| A27008 | I would I knew which of these two you judge your selves to be? |
| A27008 | If I did not,( as I know I did not) to say I did were to lie; and is it worthy his writing a Book to tempt a man to lie? |
| A27008 | If I had, is that any thing to the question in hand? |
| A27008 | If by any, by what? |
| A27008 | If by none, how know you it? |
| A27008 | If not to all, to whom, or to how many? |

| A27008 | If they Baptize not next naked in one linnen Shift, I never heard it denyed till now? |
| A27008 | If they are under no Covenant of Promise that giveth them title to life, how can they have title by it, or be judged by it? |
| A27008 | If they be not so much as visible Members, who can say that they are invisible ones? |
| A27008 | If this be all one with him, are we not so to judge of his other Expositions? |
| A27008 | Is it Ergo R. B. did ill to come out of the Goal when he was put in? |
| A27008 | Is it a slander of Mr. Tombes his citing Vossius, or of Vossius cited by him, to say that some Baptized naked in former times? |
| A27008 | Is it not a meer Diversion? |
| A27008 | Is it then no slander of Mr. Danvers to say, and stiffly defend it, that the ancient Churches ordinarily did so? |
| A27008 | Is it to more than twenty in the world? |
| A27008 | Is there no means for the certain pardon of our Infants? |
| A27008 | Is yours so? |
| A27008 | Just thus the Quakers dreadfully adj ● re me to repent of all that''s against their way; and must I therefore do it? |
| A27008 | Must not the perusal of the full words decide the Case? |
| A27008 | Nay do you not do worse than deprive us of our hopes, even lay such grounds as destroy and exclude them, by a sentence of damnation? |
| A27008 | Not that I remember? |
| A27008 | O how far will partiality blind men? |
| A27008 | Or do you mean, that till we are Martyred we are not capable of your good Opinion? |
| A27008 | Or have more Anabaptists than Poedobaptists been Martyred in our times?) |
| A27008 | Or is it only your Prognostick on supposition of my Tryal? |
| A27008 | Or is it, Ergo I should have bound heavy burdens for my self? |
| A27008 | Or is it, that I should not ● ave made such for others? |
| A27008 | Or is the Promise of their Salvation without any Condition? |
| A27008 | Or shall the same man take me as injurious for believing the same of some of them for a very little time? |
| A27008 | Or that he did ill not to put himself in again? |
| A27008 | Or that it was the Cross of Christ that I avoided? |
| A27008 | Or whether CHRIST, the Saviour of the World, hath shut all Mankind out of his Visible Kingdom, and Covenant- Rights and Hopes,''till they come to Age? |
| A27008 | Or why more of yours than of theirs, if I have nothing from you but confident Gnerals, which they can say as well as you? |
| A27008 | Or, Ergo, Christ sinned in avoiding the Cross so oft before? |
| A27008 | Or, Ergo, R. B. must go into a Prison that he may give over Preaching the Gospel? |
| A27008 | Otherwise how could you and such others bring your Consciences to wrest and wrangle against such abundance of plain Scripture Texts? |
| A27008 | Shall not all that are judged, be judged by Gods Law? |
| A27008 | Shew us where in Scripture we may find it? |
| A27008 | The next Text speaketh of Pauls Preaching till midnight? |
| A27008 | The next Text tells us that we must take up our Cross and follow Christ,& c. And what thence? |
| A27008 | There is no Scripture president for Baptizing any Kings; must none therefore be Baptized? |
| A27008 | This Convenant is Vniversal to the Adult, as offered on the condition of Believing acceptance: And is there no Promise, no Covenant for Infants? |
| A27008 | This is a strange Promise, and is no mutual Covenant? |
| A27008 | This is too unsatisfactory an answering of Books, to Beseech us to repent of them? |
| A27008 | This were to make it run unto a Fleshly Line indeed? |
| A27008 | Was it not enough for me to lay down the Contraries to my Doctrines, and leave the Reader to choose which he seeth best? |
| A27008 | Was this no injury? |
| A27008 | Were all the Circumcised Israelites, and all the holy seed till Christ, at once both in the Church, and in Satans Kingdom? |
| A27008 | Were it but this one, what could be plainer? |
| A27008 | Were we agreed against Infants Covenant- Right, when should we ever be agreed at what Age it is that they are to be received? |
| A27008 | What a sin is it to rob Christ of so great a part of his Church? |
| A27008 | What a sin is it to teach men to be thus unnatural, and cruel to their Off- spring? |
| A27008 | What a sin so far to confound the state of Christians and Pagans, as to their Childrens blessing? |
| A27008 | What a sin so to deny the Gospel Grace and Promise, and to hide so much of the Love of God? |
| A27008 | What a sin so to enlarge and honour the Devils Kingdom, as to give him all mankind visibly, till they come to age? |
| A27008 | What a sin thus to change and take from the Word, yea from the very Covenant of God? |
| A27008 | What a sin to deprive so many millions of Covenant- pardon, Grace and Life, by hindering the acceptance and consent? |
| A27008 | What a sin to vilifie so great Mercy, as if it were none, and to preach such ingratitude? |
| A27008 | What doth he but recite some scrap of my words? |
| A27008 | What kin are they to the Text? |
| A27008 | What more should I answer? |
| A27008 | What reason then to suppose that Christ obliterateth even Natures Laws? |
| A27008 | What thence? |
| A27008 | What thence? |
| A27008 | Whether Mr. Tombes denyed it when I wrote it? |
| A27008 | Whether ever any Anabaptist that then was acquainted with me, yea or any one person denyed it to my hearing or knowledge? |
| A27008 | Why doth he Print this confident Report if not to be believed? |
| A27008 | Why so? |
| A27008 | Will not the presence of thousands of witnesses secure a man from the forgery of any unnamed Slanderer? |
| A27008 | Would you not take it for a Mercy if you believed that God in Scripture gave it, to all the Seed of the Faithful dedicated to him? |
| A27008 | Yea thus do the Infidels themselves now use me, and must I therefore yield? |
| A27008 | You here call us to Repent of a Position as Absurd and Heretical? |
| A27008 | You say, that It is now a common question whether ever I will die a Martyr? |
| A27008 | and his lamentable injury thereby to the Church of Christ? |
| A27008 | and is it not the common light of Nature, which teacheth all men so to esteem them? |
| A27008 | and may not a Family be Sanctified by dedication to God? |
| A27008 | and what guilt against Christ, and of furthering Infidelity, should I have incurred, under the pretense of promoting the purity of his Kingdom? |
| A27008 | and what is one Syllable? |
| A27008 | and when a Childs Profession were Valid? |
| A27008 | and why may they not as well be Christs Subjects as the Kings? |
| A27008 | are not Infants members of other Societies? |
| A27008 | are not Infants the Kings Subjects? |
| A27008 | are they not members of Families? |
| A27008 | are they not members of all the Kingdoms in the world? |
| A27008 | by any or none? |
| A27008 | if it be, why should we think that the Saviour of the world procureth it to no Infants? |
| A27008 | if none, why do you value it? |
| A27008 | much less the owner of the Sheep? |
| A27008 | or are they left remediless as the Devils? |
| A27008 | or more to Christians Children than others? |
| A27008 | or that Pagans have not as much of it as Christians? |
| A27008 | or that have had maintenance and quietness, while R. B. hath been laid in the common Goal, and hunted by one sort, and reviled by the other? |

| A27068 | All human actions have their faults: must we therefore do nothing, or converse with no men? |
| A27068 | All this is setled by Law, and all Ministers subscribe to it: And is not this enough to the essence of a Pastors office? |
| A27068 | And I pray you what alters the case, as to the Parish- Churches? |
| A27068 | And are all sinners therefore for hearing him? |
| A27068 | And doth not the Law and Church lay more of this on the Incumbents, than the Diocesans( who are not U ● iquitaries)? |
| A27068 | And doth not this say as much as I am pleading for? |
| A27068 | And doth separating from the whole visible church- communion agree with the prophecies and precepts of union? |
| A27068 | And doth that satisfie you? |
| A27068 | And have men reason to be confident that our preaching will be more sounder than our writing? |
| A27068 | And is it not enough? |
| A27068 | And is it not exposing christianity to the scorn of infidels, so to say? |
| A27068 | And is it not then a sin to be my hearer? |
| A27068 | And now wherein is our Rule, false and theirs true? |
| A27068 | And on whom doth the Law most impose it? |
| A27068 | And that watch for their Souls as those that must give account? |
| A27068 | And what doth the Diocesan in it, more than any one of the rest? |
| A27068 | And what if it be dependent on the Diocesan, as governour( tho not as destroyer)? |
| A27068 | And what law forbids Incumbents to promulgate Christs commands, and charge men to obey them? |
| A27068 | And what then, if your Schism prove a Sin? |
| A27068 | And what''s London to all England? |
| A27068 | And when you cut off your self from all, saving a shred, are you a Member of the undivided Body of Christ? |
| A27068 | And who doth most of that work? |
| A27068 | And who doth this most in all the Churches? |
| A27068 | And who most doth this work among us? |
| A27068 | And why can such a Law any more bind me to judg of Church- constitutions by the Lawmakers words, rather than by Gods Word? |
| A27068 | And why must the Parish Church and Pastor needs be Independent? |
| A27068 | And yet not if a Pastor or a ruling Majority of people injoin it, or unless we leave all to confusion? |
| A27068 | Are not Churches formally relative societies; what maketh them such, but thoughts and wills of men expressed? |
| A27068 | Are not your private Churches more unquestionably Excommunicate,& c. by the Canon, and yet you separate not from them? |
| A27068 | Ask the parishes who those be? |
| A27068 | Before them that never knew them, nor could do? |
| A27068 | But 1. why do the same men accuse me for perswading men to avoid sufferings, as they think, by ill means? |
| A27068 | But Christ had twelve Apostles, and 70, or 72 other Teachers, and many more Disciples; Were these no Church, nor matter for a Church? |
| A27068 | But here our Disputants think they expose me to derision: What? |
| A27068 | But none of the things are indeed Worship, which you say men may command? |
| A27068 | But the great doubt is, who hath the Power of Government, and who actually governs,( not by the sword) but with the Ministerial Pastoral Government? |
| A27068 | But what if a man be in doubt, whether such Obedience be not his Duty: Is it not the safer side much more if he verily think it his Duty? |
| A27068 | But what is the false Rule? |
| A27068 | But what words be they in the Covenant that we violate? |
| A27068 | But whether the Law be on their side, or against them? |
| A27068 | Can I think that he will not preach as ill as he writeth in this book? |
| A27068 | Can he do as Ignatius''s Bishops, that must take notice of all the Church, even Servants and Maids? |
| A27068 | Can there be a higher exercise of the Keys? |
| A27068 | Can you see but on one side? |
| A27068 | Confirmation another? |
| A27068 | Could he have leave constantly to teach there, if he had there used to cry down their ordinary worship? |
| A27068 | Did he not ord ● narily joyn in the Synagogues in their worsh ● p? |
| A27068 | Did he the whole office of a pastor: What if the Bishop had forbid him to sing ● salms? |
| A27068 | Did not Gods Law make it unlawful to them, or to us before? |
| A27068 | Do Diocesans teach from house to house, from Southwark to Christ- Church, from N ● wark to Alesbury or Tame? |
| A27068 | Do I intimate that one and the same Congregation, may be two Churches of different species? |
| A27068 | Do not men use to deliberate more, and study what to write, than what to preach? |
| A27068 | Do the fl ● cks see more the Incumbents example, or the Diocesans? |
| A27068 | Do you think a Lay Civilian by Excommunicating, can prove or make a man a member of any Church against his will? |
| A27068 | Doth it follow, that I must separate from it? |
| A27068 | Doth that make him guilty of all? |
| A27068 | Doth the Diocesan or the Incumbent more walk as a known example before the Parish flock, for their imitation? |
| A27068 | Doth the Law and Church lay more of this on Diocesans ▪ or parish Pastors? |
| A27068 | Doth their esteeming you a Member, prove that you are so? |
| A27068 | England is one Kingdom; If there be one or many faults in its Laws or officers, may we therefore obey none that are faultless? |
| A27068 | Had the Ceremonious Pharisees no ill forms nor ceremonies in their Worship? |
| A27068 | Have they de facto, nulled Christs Power, Law ▪ or Offices and Churches? |
| A27068 | He had no oth ● r Church? |
| A27068 | He that is not in the Church, how comes he to be cast out? |
| A27068 | How many private Meetings in London, never sing a Psalm for fear of being discovered? |
| A27068 | How oft have I answered this, without any reply? |
| A27068 | If the Law had said, All Schools in England shall be essentially subject to Diocesans, must we therefore have had no more Schools? |
| A27068 | Is Speaking no part nor accident of worship, because speaking is used in common things? |
| A27068 | Is commanded obedience become a sin? |
| A27068 | Is eating and drinking no part of the Sacrament, because we use them as natural acts for our daily sustenance? |
| A27068 | Is it a sin to have confederacy or Communion with their Churches? |
| A27068 | Is it any more destructive of its Essence, than to be governed by a Classis or Council? |
| A27068 | Is it only the law? |
| A27068 | Is it that Lincoln shire, Leicester- shire, Northamton- shire, Buckingham- shire, be at peace among themselves, from Gainsborough to Oxford- shire? |
| A27068 | Is it that they have Steeples and Bells, or that they have Tythes? |
| A27068 | Is it the Diocesan or the Incumbent that the law requireth to preach to, and warn every man,& c.? |
| A27068 | Is it the Diocesan or the Incumbent? |
| A27068 | Is love to God no worship, because love is a natural act? |
| A27068 | Is not Baptisme( according to the Liturgy) a symbol of incorporation into the Church of England? |
| A27068 | Is not the Church State more concerned in the whole congregation ▪ than in an absent Bishop? |
| A27068 | Is not this the next step( and a temptation) to utter infidelity? |
| A27068 | Is not this true? |
| A27068 | Is praying no act of Religion, because we may pray to men? |
| A27068 | Is this done more by the Diocesans, or by the Incumbents? |
| A27068 | Is this our running from Popery? |
| A27068 | It is their example that sak to them thword of God, that the Apostle sets before them: And who be those? |
| A27068 | It''s liker he had been none for resisting John, of the two: Were all degraded that obeyed the Apostles? |
| A27068 | Must all forbear Communion till they are so good Lawyers? |
| A27068 | Must we needs be sure which of these is in the right? |
| A27068 | Must we needs say therefore that they omit all Worship? |
| A27068 | Name me, if you can, any thing essential, which all Ministers promise not at Ordination? |
| A27068 | No Elders that rule well? |
| A27068 | No wonder; those may be true churches, that are not compleat in integrity or degree; will you separate from all churches that are not so compleat? |
| A27068 | Nor of what number, power, or interest these men are of( against whom I have oft written)? |
| A27068 | Now at last I come closer to my question: Have you no Church Rulers among you? |
| A27068 | Now the question is, how any of these subordinate rules are just or false? |
| A27068 | Nulled it by a Nullity of pretended Authority, and overcome his Power without Power? |
| A27068 | On whom doth the law impose most preaching? |
| A27068 | Or if the School- master subscribe to them, is it a sin to be his Scholar? |
| A27068 | Or if there be any fault in any one of all these books, is every one guilty of them that cometh to the churches? |
| A27068 | Or to go to any negligent person of his Flock with the same charge? |
| A27068 | Or who can make an unknown man his pattern? |
| A27068 | Q. VVhat? |
| A27068 | Shall we sin if the Law impose a Translation, Psalm Book, or reverent gesture, unless we separate? |
| A27068 | That they make us to be no true Ministers or Churches? |
| A27068 | The Diocesan in all the Parishes of his Diocesse, or the Incumbents? |
| A27068 | The Laws are the Rule of National Justice; may a Judg, Justice, Officer or subject use none of them, because some are faulty? |
| A27068 | They may bind him over to answer his contumacy at the Bar of God; and what of this is denied by the Church, to belong to the Incumbents Office? |
| A27068 | Those ● ld Nonconformists that did so, are no presidents to 〈 ◊ 〉; If they halted and were lame, must we be so? |

| A27068 | What difference but conceit and consent? |
| A27068 | What if Rebaptizing prove a Sin? |
| A27068 | What if a Law said, All people shall worship God, not because the Scripture commandeth it, but because the State commands it? |

| A27068 | What if the Covenant descri ● ed by your Client,( to obey none but Christ, in matters belonging to Worship) prove a Sin? |

| A27068 | Who is it that preacheth most for the Conversion of the rest, Atheists, Sadduces, Infidels, Hereticks, Bruitists, and impious ones? |
| A27068 | Who most admonisheth them? |
| A27068 | Whom doth the Law require to do more in feeding and guiding the flock? |
| A27068 | Why may it not suffice to know Christs Law, and to profess to obey it, and to do nothing against it willingly? |
| A27068 | Will you have no Communion with Presbyterians? |
| A27068 | Would not almost all rather turn Papists, than believe this? |
| A27068 | Would this make it unlawful to worship God? |
| A27068 | Yea, how many seldom read a Chapter, but only preach and pray, and sometime administer the Sacrament? |
| A27068 | Yea, is it not the great thing that we accuse the superconformists for? |
| A27068 | [ Is he not by Communion in the Sacarment of Baptisme made a member? |
| A27068 | and are we indeed of the same mind? |
| A27068 | and how shall they have time to study them, or capacity to understand them, when we can hardly get them to learn a Catechism and anderstand it? |
| A27068 | and is it the Diocesan or they that use it by baptizing? |
| A27068 | and shall we now justifie them and say as they( tho not on the same Reason, but for a far smaller difference)? |
| A27068 | and what if they can not read? |
| A27068 | and whether had he then lived, he should have separated from all the Churches on earth? |
| A27068 | and who else is capable of doing this in Parishes that have multitudes of ungodly persons? |
| A27068 | are they all guilty of all these, and such others? |
| A27068 | nor no Independents, whose Churches having many Pastors and Elders, no one exerciseth( no nor hath) more than part of the power? |
| A27068 | or is it not rather that neighbour Christians that see each other, so live in peace? |
| A27068 | or is it the Incumbents? |
| A27068 | or on parish Priests? |
| A27068 | or to go to any Drunkard, Fornicator, Railer, and to tell him from God of h ● s sin and danger, and exhort and command him to repent and amend? |
| A27068 | part, to receive all the offerings of the Communicants, and all the tythes and first fruits,& c. Who doth this most? |
| A27068 | receiving the Lords Supper another symbol? |
| A27068 | that is a stranger to them? |
| A27068 | that never saw them, or the Incumbent that layeth out all his Study and Time on them? |
| A27068 | that never seeth the most, nor ever preacheth to one Flock of many? |
| A27068 | was this communion more lawful or laudable than with honest parish Ministers in the Liturgy? |
| A27068 | what greater omission or defect is there in many Parish- Churches? |
| A27068 | whom shall they get to read them all? |
| A27068 | — How comes it to pass, that the Church hath power of excommunicating any Person, but by vertue of Incorporation, which she hath by the same Law? |
| A27068 | — Is he not by Communion in the Sacrament of baptism made a Member? |
| A64984 | & c. Is it not rebellion against him then to be refusers? |
| A64984 | And amongst those who are civilized and outwardly reformed, are there none among you, who are secretly wicked? |
| A64984 | And chuse poverty when you may have Jewels to enrich you? |
| A64984 | And did we think that these extraordinary motions and affections in one so ancient did presage his near approaching death? |
| A64984 | And do you not then need to repent? |
| A64984 | And eternal misery, when by repentance you may attain everlasting happiness? |
| A64984 | And hath not God left off calling you now by his mouth? |
| A64984 | And have not you also a course that should be finished with joy, as well as we? |
| A64984 | And is he gone ● ndeed? |
| A64984 | And is it not base ingratitude to deny Christ, Angels and Ministers this joy, by refusing obstinately to be saved? |
| A64984 | And is not this loss the greatest to such? |
| A64984 | And shall your restoration or your preservation, be but a reservation unto more dreadful destruction? |
| A64984 | And that when he went ● way, he was going and was so near unto his long ● ome? |
| A64984 | And what do you think now to do? |
| A64984 | And what have we that we have not received? |
| A64984 | And what is our building, but to bring home Souls? |
| A64984 | And what moveth you to all this? |
| A64984 | And whence and on what account he m ● expect it? |
| A64984 | And who is it that will have the worst of this at last? |
| A64984 | And will not Gods invitations, Gods promises, and none of the rich Gospel priveledges move you to repent? |
| A64984 | And will you lose, will you wilfully lose all this? |
| A64984 | And will you not allow us the joy of your Salvation? |
| A64984 | And yet what a name hath he left behind him even in that Church, whose Prelates thus dispised him? |
| A64984 | Are none saved but Puritans and Precisians? |
| A64984 | Are there no hypocrites among you, painted Sepulchres, rotten at heart, whatever your outward show and profession of Religion is? |
| A64984 | Are there no intemperate persons, no drunkards? |
| A64984 | Are there no profane persons among you, no swearers? |
| A64984 | Are there no unclean persons, no adulterers? |
| A64984 | Are there no unrighteous persons, none that are fraudulent in their dealings? |
| A64984 | Are there not many grosly ignorant persons with you, notwithstanding all his Catechizing and instructions? |
| A64984 | Are there not many openly vicious persons, notwithstanding all his reproofs and admonitions? |
| A64984 | Are there not too many among you who mind your Bodies, but neglect your Souls? |
| A64984 | Are you at a point with the flattering world, and fleshly lusts? |
| A64984 | Are you resolved to fill up the measure of your sin, with your days; and will you deafen your ears against all Gods calls unto the last? |
| A64984 | Are you resolved to finish your course as you have begun it? |
| A64984 | Are you sure to live till you are grown men, and grown women? |
| A64984 | Are you too young to repent, when you are not too young to sin? |
| A64984 | Are you willing, if I tell you, to do your part? |
| A64984 | Because God doth not speedily execute his vengeance upon you, shall your hearts be fully set in you to do evil? |
| A64984 | Besides, are you sure to repent, should your life be continued? |
| A64984 | But doth God allow you to procrastinate your Repentance? |
| A64984 | But if it be by Preaching that you hope to be instructed, converted and saved, what Preaching is it? |
| A64984 | But you will say, is there no hope? |
| A64984 | Can any one hear and believe this, that hath the heart of a man, and not be awakened presently to make hast? |
| A64984 | Can you be content that God should banish you from his presence for ever, and punish you amongst Devils in Hell? |
| A64984 | Can you dwell with devouring fire? |
| A64984 | Can you endure to be tormented and that to eternity, and that with extremity of torments? |
| A64984 | Can you inhabit everlasting burnings? |
| A64984 | Can you think to live here always? |
| A64984 | Christ rejoiceth in it, and all good men that know it rejoyce in it, and shall not the Minister of it then rejoyce? |
| A64984 | Could you wish that he were alive again? |
| A64984 | Dare you appear before God without his Spirit, and image, and without the wedding garment of sincere holiness, and so without a part in Christ? |
| A64984 | Dare you die in an unholy unpardoned state? |
| A64984 | Dare you go out of the World more foolishly than the unjust steward out of his stewardship, before you have provided another habitation? |
| A64984 | Did a damned wretch cry, Send Lazarus to warn my brethren, that they come not to this place of torments? |
| A64984 | Did we think that the Lord would so soon gather him and receive him to himself, and say to him, pray no more for this people? |
| A64984 | Did we think that the last Sermon which he Preached before his last ● ourney, would be the last Sermon which we should have and hear from him? |
| A64984 | Do n''t you feel your strength to decay? |
| A64984 | Do not your Silver hairs mind you of the loosing of the silver cord? |
| A64984 | Do they perswade you to any thing dishonest or to your hurt? |
| A64984 | Do they think that God is in their debt? |
| A64984 | Do you ever hope to be saved, or not? |
| A64984 | Do you look for better than such as you have lost? |
| A64984 | Do you love other mens Souls more than your own? |
| A64984 | Do you not see now, how much you are concerned, that you further our joyful finishing of our course? |
| A64984 | Doth God give you a dispensation to sin, so long as you are so young? |
| A64984 | Doth not God call for your first fruits? |
| A64984 | Fire from Heaven declared the wrath of God against Sodom and Gomorrah: and will you yet have a more dreadful fire? |
| A64984 | First, Are there not many unconverted persons, whom your Minister after all his Soul- travel and pains in Preaching hath left unconverted? |
| A64984 | First, What a loss is it to lose the blessing and fruit of a holy Ministry? |
| A64984 | God will not condemn us for your sins? |
| A64984 | Hath not God work enough for you to do although you begin never so young? |
| A64984 | Have not others of you escaped great perils and dangers, and been wonderfully preserved when your lives were in great jeopardy? |
| A64984 | Have you no Harbingers and forerunners of death with you? |
| A64984 | Have you not original sin and actual sin to repent of? |
| A64984 | He is not worthy to be called a man, that will deny any joy or good to his neighbour, which doth no hurt to himself or others? |
| A64984 | He lately Preached to us of praying without ceasing, and did we think he would so soon cease to pray himself? |
| A64984 | If it be a duty to repent hereafter, is it not now as much your duty? |
| A64984 | If it be difficult to repent when your sins are fewer, will not the difficulty encrease when your sins are encreased and grown more numerous? |
| A64984 | If it be difficult to repent when your sins are lesser, will not the difficulty greaten when your sins are greatned and grown more heinous? |
| A64984 | If it be good to repent at all, is it not good to repent whilst you are young? |
| A64984 | If without it, what reason have you for such hopes, when God hath made this his ordinary means? |
| A64984 | If yea, do you hope to be saved without Preaching, or by it? |
| A64984 | Is Repentance in your own power? |
| A64984 | Is it desirable to continue Children of the Devil, when you may be made the Children of God? |
| A64984 | Is it good to have God your enemy, when you may be reconciled? |
| A64984 | Is it good to keep wounds in your consciences when you may have them healed? |
| A64984 | Is it not easier to repent when you have less sin and more time, than when you shall have less time and more sin? |
| A64984 | Is not a twig more easily bended, than a grown Tree? |
| A64984 | Is not our hedg in danger of falling, when so many stakes are pluckt up? |
| A64984 | Is not the Bishop of Winchester and London, Gardiner and Boner now dead, as well as the Martyrs whom they burnt? |
| A64984 | Is there any Repentance in Heaven for their labours or sufferings for Christ on Earth? |
| A64984 | Is there not a Register in your bosomes of sins committed in your childhood, together with your more late and more aggiavated youthful transgressions? |
| A64984 | Moreover, can there be a more fit, a more reasonable time for your Repentance, than whilst you are young? |
| A64984 | No more hear his voice? |
| A64984 | O how dear will impenitent sinners pay for all the tears and groans which now they do constrain from their compassionate Teachers? |
| A64984 | O ● who would not be ambitious of being so kep ● from Honour? |
| A64984 | On ● saith, I will never hear him more: and another saith, shall I be Catechized like a Boy? |
| A64984 | Or can your last Repentance, if it were easily attainable, be so pleasing and acceptable unto God, as Repentance in your youth? |
| A64984 | Or is smaller and weaker remedies like to cure you, that to the last despised greater? |
| A64984 | Or rather shall not Gods patience and goodness lead you to Repentance? |
| A64984 | Or who hath given to God that it may be repaid him? |
| A64984 | Or will you defer again this work of Repentance until a fitter season? |
| A64984 | Our blessings go, and our curse continue? |
| A64984 | Our builders go, and our destroyers remain? |
| A64984 | Pity your Wise who is like to be left a Widow, and what a sorrowful Widow is she like to be? |
| A64984 | Shall our Ministers go, and our sins stay? |
| A64984 | Shall our glory depart, and our shame abide? |
| A64984 | Shall the Devil, and the flesh, and the World ravish your Virgin- affections, and then will you repent? |
| A64984 | Shall the Physician mourn over his dying patient, and ● hall the patient think it nothing to him? |
| A64984 | Shall the threatnings of a weak man have more force with you, than the threatnings of the great and glorious Iehovah who made Heaven and Earth? |
| A64984 | Shall we no more see his face? |
| A64984 | Shall you not receive according to what you have done in the body? |
| A64984 | Sinners, what do you resolve upon? |
| A64984 | That being so ripe for Heaven, he would not be long out of Heaven, in the Suburbs of which he seem''d to be, when he was in his Devotions? |
| A64984 | Thirdly, And why do you take on you to be Christians, and no more regard the interest of the Church of Christ? |
| A64984 | Thou fool, this night shall they require thy Soul, and then whose are the things that thou hast provided? |
| A64984 | To save a life this year, this month, this day, that may be gone on sadder terms the next, and certainly will ere long be gone? |
| A64984 | Watch to prevent sin, so far as you have ● ower; say not with Cain, Am I my brothers ● eeper? |
| A64984 | Wh ● joy it is that is here meant? |
| A64984 | Wha ● wr ● stlings at the Throne of grace? |
| A64984 | What fears di ● there then arise in your hearts? |
| A64984 | What is their Ministry but the seeking of your Salvation? |
| A64984 | What sweeter food or business for our minds, than such things as these? |
| A64984 | What, do you grieve that your Minister is so highly promoted? |
| A64984 | When he went forth ● f my doors, did I think he would never set foot ● ithin them again? |
| A64984 | Whence and on what accounts may we expect this Ioy? |
| A64984 | Will he appear in the Pulpit and Preach to us no more? |
| A64984 | Will he pray amongst us, and pray for us, no more? |
| A64984 | Will it not be very hard to remove long contracted hardness? |
| A64984 | Will not God call you to an account for all your sins? |
| A64984 | Will not long custom in sin added to your natural propensity, add to the difficulty of your repentance? |
| A64984 | Will not sin be more easily mortified whilst it is more weak, than when by long continuance it hath gathered more strength? |
| A64984 | Will not your Repentance now be with the less difficulty? |
| A64984 | Will not your reward ● e the greater, if you add further work to what you have done already? |
| A64984 | Will you chuse to dishonour God, and damn your own Souls rather than to repent of your sins? |
| A64984 | Will you mourn for him, as if he were lost or annihilated? |
| A64984 | Will you prefer raggs before robes to cover you? |
| A64984 | Will you pursue your lusts to the burning lake? |
| A64984 | Will you return evil for good? |
| A64984 | Will you slight pardoning mercy, and chuse rather to abide under guilt? |
| A64984 | Will your Hell be no more ● ainful than our compassion? |
| A64984 | Would not you argue and ● ead with them, to forbear the laying such ● ● olent hands upon themselves? |
| A64984 | Would you have more particular counsel how to finish your course with joy? |
| A64984 | You have one foot in the grave, and don''t you sometimes think of Death? |
| A64984 | Your course will soon be finished: shall it be with joy, or the beginning of everlasting misery? |
| A64984 | and our houses of tumbling, when so many pillars are thrown down? |
| A64984 | have the best of Physicians, and be yet unhealed? |
| A64984 | none who are covetous, under the reigning power of that sin which is inconsistent with the power of godliness? |
| A64984 | that a great storm is near when he houseth so many of his servants? |
| A64984 | that he was come now very nigh to the end of his race? |
| A64984 | what gain is it to save an estate a little while, that at death must certainly be forsaken? |
| A64984 | who is sufficient for these things? |
| A64984 | who make provision for your flesh, but neglect your Salvation? |
| A64984 | will a dead nurse give warm and vital milk? |
| A64984 | will you hold fast sin still? |
| A64984 | ● s your unconverted, unpardoned, miserable ● ate, and your danger of Damnation, more ● o us than to you? |
| A26976 | All doth not demonstrate to me, which some call demonstration; I perceive you note not at all what is my doubt, and how can you then solve it? |
| A26976 | An Atome of Earth or Water, is not annihilated; and why should we suspect, that a Spiritual Substance is? |
| A26976 | And I am not sure that God can not make material atomes so continued a matter as that no Creature can discerp them: is it any contradiction? |
| A26976 | And as to the incapacity of misery which you talk of, why should you think it more hereafter than here? |
| A26976 | And do you think that Life and Immateriality are Synonyma''s? |
| A26976 | And do you think, that his love and goodness hath no answerable effect? |
| A26976 | And do you think, that this doth not more advance Souls than abase them? |
| A26976 | And how can I tell that God that can make many out of one, can not make many into one, and unite and divide them as well as Matter? |
| A26976 | And how far their Authority extendeth? |
| A26976 | And if he can, how know I that he doth not? |
| A26976 | And if so, will you yet say, that[ this is a distinction which distinguisheth nothing?] |
| A26976 | And if the Parts were 20 or 100 Miles a sunder, is it still one undivided Soul? |
| A26976 | And if they be two, why are they not separable? |
| A26976 | And if they may be all in one point, and so be all one, may they not be divided again? |
| A26976 | And if you feign God to be partible, is it not more honour and joy to be a part of God, who is joy it self, than to be a created Soul? |
| A26976 | And is Subtilty the difference? |
| A26976 | And is it many, or one concentred Soul? |
| A26976 | And is not the form the notifying difference? |
| A26976 | And is this the necessary Form of a Spirit? |
| A26976 | And the rather, because to avoid offending you, I will now pass by any further Answer to your Queries, Whether Adam''s Soul was a Legion? |
| A26976 | And then would that one have many unifying Spirits, or but one? |
| A26976 | And those that I excuse do but call it Materia metaphysica: And what''s the meaning of Materia Logica? |
| A26976 | And what Bodies did all the Souls that have ever since been in the World animate, when there was no human Body but Adam''s and Eve''s? |
| A26976 | And what happiness then can we hope for, more than a deliverance from the present calamity? |
| A26976 | And what if another think just so of them,( or not so grosly) and yet call them Matter, will the word undoe him? |
| A26976 | And what''s a Contradiction, if this be not, to say, I do that which I can not do, or I can do that which I have no power to do? |
| A26976 | And when do you think they were all made? |
| A26976 | And when in your Writings shall I find satisfaction, into how much space one Spirit may be extended, and into how little it may be contracted? |
| A26976 | And whom do they believe? |
| A26976 | And why doth the Church believe? |
| A26976 | And why should we fear Perfection? |
| A26976 | And will you judg of our Religion by its enemies? |
| A26976 | And yet what is more certain than that there is Substance, Entity, and God? |
| A26976 | Are all men that can not define, therefore void of all knowledg? |
| A26976 | Are they not as fleshly, and worldly, and false, and perjured, and malicious, and hurtful, and pernicious to others and themselves? |
| A26976 | But I think there are subordinate particular Moving Principles besides the Universal? |
| A26976 | But are not all these as gaeat difficulties to the Pope and his Prelates, as they are to us? |
| A26976 | But can you excuse your self from what you call a Mischief, when you intimate that Substantia purissima may be material? |
| A26976 | But did you take this for any shew of a proof? |
| A26976 | But do you know nothing but by Definitions? |
| A26976 | But do you verily believe that Penetrability or Subtilty is a sufficient, efficient, or Formal Cause of Vitality, Perception, Appetite? |
| A26976 | But how? |
| A26976 | But if the world have but one soul, what mean you by its concentring in the Carcass? |
| A26976 | But is not that a Monad and Atome which is one and indivisible? |
| A26976 | But now these Hypocrites, obscure it to themselves and other unbelievers, and tempt men to say, Are not Christans as bad as Heathens? |
| A26976 | But what is such a mental Spirit? |
| A26976 | But what mean you by[ the active Principles concentration in its own body]? |
| A26976 | But what''s your proof? |
| A26976 | But you would know what''s meant by a spirit, whether all that is not evident to sense? |
| A26976 | Can Apes and Monkeys do all this? |
| A26976 | Can he not separate them when he will? |
| A26976 | Can not God make a Spirit? |
| A26976 | Can not he make many Stars into one? |
| A26976 | Can you conjecture what Animal''s they were before they were men''s? |
| A26976 | Could any of us have said more whom you contradict? |
| A26976 | Did you think that there is no Perception but sensitive or Intellectual? |
| A26976 | Do not you by that intimation do more to assert the Materiality of Spirits than ever I did? |
| A26976 | Do they not shew his glory? |
| A26976 | Do you believe, that each one hath now one individual Soul, or not? |
| A26976 | Do you know what material signifieth? |
| A26976 | Do you not here make Spirits material? |
| A26976 | Do you not take Cartesius materia subtilis, if not globuli aetherei, to be invisible,& not alwaies appearing in Candles or Fire- sticks? |
| A26976 | Do you really believe, that there is a God? |
| A26976 | Do you take the word[ Penetrable] actively, or passively, or both? |
| A26976 | Do you think any dust, or drop, any Atome of Earth or Water, loseth any thing of it self, by its union with the rest? |
| A26976 | Do you think that only the Anima Mundi animateth all Animals? |
| A26976 | Do you think, that any Atome loseth its individuation? |
| A26976 | Do you think, that passive matter doth as much manifest Gods Perfection, and honour the Efficient, as vital and Intellectual Spirits? |
| A26976 | Doth God give them Laws to know and keep as moral free- agents? |
| A26976 | Doth acting, without Power to act, cause the Power? |
| A26976 | Doth he fundamentally err that saith Corpus humanum organicum is not forma hominis? |
| A26976 | Doth not God know every dust, and every drop from the rest? |
| A26976 | Doth not all the world difference Virtue and Vice, moral good and evil? |
| A26976 | Even who before twice told us that we know not the intimate essence of things, but the Attributes? |
| A26976 | For before you can believe that Jesus is the Christ, and his Word true, how many impossibilities have you to believe? |
| A26976 | Hath he not imprinted his Perfections in some measure, in his Works? |
| A26976 | How can a Principle of Motion spring from Matter? |
| A26976 | How come they to be Male and Female? |
| A26976 | How many Score Volumes have told it us? |
| A26976 | I ask before, can all the Created Spirits in Heaven and Earth be in the same Atom of matter? |
| A26976 | I meddle not for you, nor against you: What''s this to me? |
| A26976 | If Aliud, how prove you it to be there, rather than elsewhere? |
| A26976 | If God made as many substantial individual Souls, as men, is there any thing in Nature or Scripture, which thteatneth the loss of Individuation? |
| A26976 | If Spirits be unified as the Bodies which they animate, can not God make many Bodies into one? |
| A26976 | If an Atom be matter, is it Discerpible or not? |
| A26976 | If it be a pure Spirit, I would then know, what is meant by Spirit? |
| A26976 | If it be, is it a pure Spirit, or meerly material? |
| A26976 | If it be, why should you think that it is never separated? |
| A26976 | If it can subsist without a Body, who can say that it doth not? |
| A26976 | If not here, why should you think that their misery hereafter will be ever the less, or more tolerable for your conceit, that they are parts of God? |
| A26976 | If not what body is it that you can imagine so ready to receive it without any interposition? |
| A26976 | If not, how can we lose that which we never had? |
| A26976 | If not, how is this the Form of Matter? |
| A26976 | If separable, why not separated? |
| A26976 | If so, Are they one Soul there, or innumerable in one man? |
| A26976 | If so, are they then absent from all other place? |
| A26976 | If therefore all men have but one Soul, why is it not you that are in pain or joy, when any, or all others are so? |
| A26976 | If to part of the world, 〈 ◊ 〉 each Vortex, Sun, Star,& c. have a dist ● ● ● individuate superior Soul, why not 〈 ◊ 〉 so inferiors? |
| A26976 | If you mean, That it''s but an accident, that''s disprov''d before; what accident is it? |
| A26976 | Is Substantia purissima material? |
| A26976 | Is Subtilty and Crassitude the difference between Spiritual Substance and Material in their Consistency? |
| A26976 | Is an Angel only in a Candle or hot Iron,& c. Is motion, yea motion of sulphureous particles their vehicle? |
| A26976 | Is an Atom Matter? |
| A26976 | Is any Substance lost? |
| A26976 | Is any thing annihilated when the Candle goeth out? |
| A26976 | Is it a real Being? |
| A26976 | Is it because they believe? |
| A26976 | Is it not Earth and Water still? |
| A26976 | Is it only the difference of an Instrument in Tune, and out of Tune? |
| A26976 | Is it really different from the Body? |
| A26976 | Is it separable from a Body or not? |
| A26976 | Is it themselves? |
| A26976 | Is it therefore a real Being, really different from the Body, and able to be without it? |
| A26976 | Is not the Haecceity, as they call it, continued? |
| A26976 | Is not this a just progress? |
| A26976 | Is the common light and sense of Nature no Evidence? |
| A26976 | Is the simple Nature changed? |
| A26976 | Is the universal Soul there fallen asleep, or imprisoned in a Grave, or what is it? |
| A26976 | Is there not in the Creature a communicative disposition to cause their like? |
| A26976 | Is this a Priviledg to boast of? |
| A26976 | May not one be ignorant where he can not chuse? |
| A26976 | Or by an extrinsick Agent only; Did you think that you had answered these? |
| A26976 | Or that Life and Penetrable and Indiscerpible, are Synonyma''s? |
| A26976 | Or that the Form of a Spirit is a Compound of such and so many Heterogeneals? |
| A26976 | Or that the puritas vel subtilitas materiae is not forma ● gnis vel solis, but only the materiae dispositio? |
| A26976 | Quoad notationem nominis distinct from use ▪ doth not materia and substantia signify the same fundamental conceptus? |
| A26976 | That you Act vitall, understand and will? |
| A26976 | There is Oneness in Matter( in Atoms at least) and doth Penetrability make Subtilty? |
| A26976 | Therefore Belief is first, and is not caused by that which followeth it? |
| A26976 | These are now my doubts; but are they the fruits of Diligence? |
| A26976 | Those Conceptions are the cause of words and actions: and is there no cause of those Conceptions? |
| A26976 | To which I said,[ Do you not here make Spirits material?] |
| A26976 | To your question, Is it material or immaterial?] |
| A26976 | What a jumble is here, when the true definition of a Spirit is obvious? |
| A26976 | What abundance of Authors could I name you, yea, have I oft named, besides Dr. Crakenthorp? |
| A26976 | What dry Philosophy is this of Fire? |
| A26976 | What happiness then can we hope for more than deliverance from the present calamity; or what misery are we capable of, more than is common to all? |
| A26976 | What if I said,[ The Chandler made a Candle of Tallow, and then by another kindled it]? |
| A26976 | What is it now but the aptitude of the Name that we speak of? |
| A26976 | What need you the Power, if you can act without it? |
| A26976 | What should hinder it? |
| A26976 | What''s here wanting to a Definition? |
| A26976 | What''s the matter? |
| A26976 | When I still tell you that it is only analogically that Souls may be called Fire, did you fairly to pretend the contrary? |
| A26976 | When the dust of the Carcass is scattered, is the Soul concentred in every atome, or but in one? |
| A26976 | When will you shew us an Ape or a Monkey, that was ever brought to the Acts or Habits before mentioned of Men? |
| A26976 | Whereas were the Soul such as represented, who could rob it of its Endowments? |
| A26976 | Who can trust the Honesty of such men, as multitudes of Popes, Prelates, and Priests have been? |

| A26976 | Will they stick at a Lye, that stick not at Blood, or any wickedness? |
| A26976 | Will this make a Captive bear his Captivity, or a Malefactor his Death? |
| A26976 | Yea, of those that were born deaf and dumb? |
| A26976 | Yet you say before,[ What can be more plain?] |
| A26976 | You add, how easie it would have been to you to believe as the Church believeth, and not to have immerged your self in these difficulties? |
| A26976 | You add,[ How shall I know the difference between the highest degree of materials, and lowest of immaterials? |
| A26976 | You ask what are the Formae quae se multiplicant? |
| A26976 | You ask, Is it able to be without it? |
| A26976 | and am I thus rewarded for not believing at a common rate? |
| A26976 | and if he can, how you know that he doth not? |
| A26976 | and so of Intellection and Volition? |
| A26976 | and whether or no all things invisible, and imperceptable to Sense, are accounted such? |
| A26976 | and yet knew God and his Law, and how to name the Creatures, and how to dress and keep the Garden? |
| A26976 | is not the heat divided with the Iron? |
| A26976 | or is every Spirit ubiquitary? |
| A26976 | or is it not? |
| A26976 | or is it not? |

| A42198 | And yet if the Apostle James his godly Heart had not taken it for a great sin, would he in such strange precise manner have forbid it? |

| A42198 | Experience shews it, for how brave, and fine, and gallant people, do those in that condition think themselves to be? |
| A42198 | Fourthly, Are Drunkards the very Children of the Devil? |
| A42198 | How can I commit this great wickedness, and sin against God? |
| A42198 | How many are overgrown with this Disease and do not know it? |
| A42198 | Is it not better to have a little ground drowned among us, than our selves? |
| A42198 | Is not the Glass often- times thou drinkest in born up with a couple, and sometimes with a cluster of Snakes or Serpents? |

| A42198 | Not accused of riot; And what immediately followes? |
| A42198 | Now the D ● … unkard how just the Fat ● … er; Son is he in this respect? |

| A42198 | So marvellous, That is Saul among the Prophets, was no such marvel, as is such and such a Drunkard now among the Saints? |

| A42198 | Then wha ● … profits it any to eat and wipe their mouths, and say, they have done no wickedness? |

| A42198 | Who greater Profaners therefore of Gods Sabbaths and Neglecters of his Worship than these kind of men? |
| A42198 | Why did the Knees 〈 ◊ 〉 them, or the Breast that they should 〈 ◊ 〉? |
| A42198 | Why died they not in the Womb, or why did not they give up the Ghost when they came out of the B ● … lly? |
| A42198 | Will his Name and Religion be better thought of? |
| A42198 | Will the Lord get Honour by this Action? |
| A42198 | Will this be a Conviction or an hardning to the Enemy? |

| A42198 | and pluck the good meat out of his mouth, and the good drink from his Nose, as knowing they are too good to be so vainly abused by him? |

| A65821 | ( saith the Apostle) don''t you? |
| A65821 | 1, Hath God cast off his people? |
| A65821 | 9,) that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God? |
| A65821 | Ai, but( my Brethren) what are seven thousand to a whole Kingdom? |
| A65821 | And I pray you scoffers, is it not as easie a thing to conceive how God should burn the world, as drown the world? |
| A65821 | And did they believe? |
| A65821 | And he laid hold on the Dragon that old Serpent, which is the Devil and Satan, and bound him: Where? |
| A65821 | And if you say why do I give you this notice? |
| A65821 | And is it not so now? |
| A65821 | And then again God tells us of the Resurrection of our bodies; How is it possible it should be so? |
| A65821 | And were not you desperately blind and foolish, you would do so too? |
| A65821 | And what''s here meant by Spirit? |
| A65821 | And what''s the prison? |
| A65821 | And when you were hungry, and had no bread, did God ever rain bread down from heaven to you? |
| A65821 | Are you blind? |
| A65821 | Are you weak? |
| A65821 | Are you yet in your sins? |
| A65821 | As God said of the old world: Here is a wicked people, What shall I do with them? |
| A65821 | Being put to death in the flesh: Who put to death? |
| A65821 | But did not you hear it read, and had it preached to you? |
| A65821 | But did they do so? |
| A65821 | But for thee to go on in sin, and reject pardon when offered: What canst thou say for thy self? |
| A65821 | But for thee to live in a wicked ungodly way, and take no thought for eternity: what wilt thou do sinner, when death comes and awakens thee? |
| A65821 | But one Elijah in a whole Ten Tribes? |
| A65821 | But was God loth to drown them? |
| A65821 | But what became of the whole Nation? |
| A65821 | But what did they do with it? |
| A65821 | But what did they do? |
| A65821 | But why, you poor sinners, why do not you believe that God is in good earnest now? |
| A65821 | But( pray) what became of the other Tribes that were under the tutilage and government of the Posterity of David? |
| A65821 | But, saith he, if you are ignorant of this one thing; you are wilfully ignorant: VVhat is that? |
| A65821 | By which Spirit? |
| A65821 | By whom? |
| A65821 | Did God ever bring ten Plagues upon your enemies to deliver you from them? |
| A65821 | Did God ever in a danger that you have been in, make a Sea for you to pass through, and your life saved? |
| A65821 | Did not God drown them all? |
| A65821 | Disobedient to whom? |
| A65821 | Do you think that they do n''t deserve your thoughts? |
| A65821 | Does God give thee abundance of the glory of the earth? |
| A65821 | Every human body hath his Tenant: What''s that? |
| A65821 | First, What are these Prisoners? |
| A65821 | For what reason do I think that by Spirit is here meant the Holy Ghost? |
| A65821 | Fourthly, What''s the Crime( having discoursed of the Prison)? |
| A65821 | Fourthly, What''s the cause of their commitment? |
| A65821 | Had not you a Bible? |
| A65821 | Hast thou a mind to have Grace? |
| A65821 | Hast thou a mind to have the Spirit of Grace and Supplication? |
| A65821 | Have you no time to think of them? |
| A65821 | Here is a talk of his coming, but here is no Christ come; when will this Trumpet sound? |
| A65821 | Here now was some ground for them to plead, and yet though God did this; did he love Israel so, that he would not destroy them? |
| A65821 | How does Baptism save us? |
| A65821 | How few do repent upon their seeming profession of repentance, and believing? |
| A65821 | How few of you have been a hammering upon this Ark? |
| A65821 | How few reform their lives? |
| A65821 | How long? |
| A65821 | How wilt thou do it? |
| A65821 | I will not let them go, saith Pharaoh; why who is your God, that I should obey him? |
| A65821 | I''le tell thee, thou scoffer, and walker after thy lusts, Dost thou not know that God once drowned the world? |
| A65821 | If any should enquire why, or who call''d me to interpose these few rude lines? |
| A65821 | If you ask where he had Money to do all this, he lived frugally himself? |
| A65821 | In the opening of it, there are these things I shall speak to; First, What are these Prisoners? |
| A65821 | In whom? |
| A65821 | Is it the office of Charity to further mens delusion and damnation? |
| A65821 | Is there not a merciful God that would forgive and forget all that is past, if you would even now to day fully, without any hesitation, return to him? |
| A65821 | Look in the glass of the Christian Church, and then tell me, how many among us are like to be saved? |
| A65821 | Nay, when thou hast provoked him to wrath more than the Devil, dost thou think he will spare thee, and not an Angel? |
| A65821 | No, No, you will believe none? |
| A65821 | No? |
| A65821 | No? |
| A65821 | None of them? |
| A65821 | Now, Secondly, Thou hast deserv''d it, sinner; thy crime deserves it: What is the crime? |
| A65821 | O sinners, What will you do? |
| A65821 | Put to death in the flesh, What''s that? |
| A65821 | Put to death in the flesh, by whom? |
| A65821 | Put to death in the flesh, by whom? |
| A65821 | Say you so? |

| A65821 | Sirs, tell us as Christians, or at least as men, what faith, and reason, and humane love command us to do in such a case? |
| A65821 | So here Christ died as to the flesh, but he was made alive: that is, he was raised from the dead: Raised, How was he raised? |

| A65821 | VVell, and thus they argue, saying, Where is the promise of his coming? |
| A65821 | VVhat do they scoff at? |
| A65821 | VVhat if God appeareth upon a Mount, and speaks signally, will you believe now? |
| A65821 | VVhy do these men scoff at it? |
| A65821 | VVhy, do you think there are any such here, that are of such a mind? |

| A65821 | We will begin at the First: First, What it is to be put to death in the flesh? |
| A65821 | Well now, say you, What shall we do? |
| A65821 | Well, But what shall we say of our selves? |
| A65821 | Well, but is it just for God to damn me thus eternally in a prison, because I will not repent of my sin? |
| A65821 | Well, but whether must I go? |
| A65821 | Well, what became of these Ten Tribes? |
| A65821 | Well; but say you, Did Christ by his Spirit preach to them after they went to Hell? |
| A65821 | Were they damned for that? |
| A65821 | Wh ● ●''s the Crime? |
| A65821 | What Spirit is here? |

| A65821 | for how few do believe what we preach? |
| A65821 | hath not God said he will? |
| A65821 | hath not Moses and the Prophets told you so? |
| A65821 | how simply dost thou cheat thy self? |
| A65821 | should not you find a father that would fall upon your neck, and kiss you, as well as the prodigal did? |
| A65821 | should we flatter and smooth them up in an unholy life, what thanks would they give us for this ere long, when they find themselves in hell? |

| A65821 | were not they men and women as you? |
| A65821 | what do you do? |
| A65821 | when shall it once be? |
| A65821 | who can believe this, when we can hardly live fifty or threescore years, How can we be alive for ever and ever? |
| A65821 | why what is he? |
| A65821 | would not his bosom be open to receive you? |
| A26903 | ( But how rare is that?) |
| A26903 | 7 Do you know the difference between a man and a Bruit? |
| A26903 | And O that I knew how to make you sensible how dreadful a thing it is to die in an unholy state, and in the guilt of any unpardoned sin? |
| A26903 | And Princes became wise and pious, whose Parents had been blind or impious? |
| A26903 | And are not your abused Souls immortal? |

| A26903 | And every year, day and hour of your lives hath its proper work: And how will you answer for it? |
| A26903 | And greater love than to our dearest friend, he being infinitely good and Love it self? |
| A26903 | And how are the Children like to be bred, that have such a Father? |
| A26903 | And how doleful a case is it, that all the Care, and Love, and Labour of your Parents, Masters, and Teachers should be lost upon you? |
| A26903 | And how hardly do they learn that, which they have no delight in? |
| A26903 | And how many particular Cities& Towns are grown ignorant and malignant, which in former times were famous for Religion? |
| A26903 | And how will you use, that which you have not? |
| A26903 | And if you believe that there is a Governing God, do you not believe that he hath Governing Laws or notifications of his Will? |
| A26903 | And is it a small thing to you, that you are all this while doing hurt to others? |
| A26903 | And is it not a joy to you to be your Parents joy? |
| A26903 | And is it not near, as well as sure? |

| A26903 | And is there any hurt in all this? |
| A26903 | And on the other side, when Piety hath successively as a River kept its course, what a blessing hath it proved? |
| A26903 | And the Amalekites Children all destroyed, and the posterity of the Infidel Jews forsaken ▪ the Curse coming on them and on their Children? |
| A26903 | And what is a forsaken soul, but a miserable Slave of Satan? |
| A26903 | And what need have all of a Sanctifier, and of his holy word, and of all the holy means of Grace? |

| A26903 | Can you live an hour without him? |
| A26903 | Dare you deliberately resolve or bargain to take your fleshly pleasures for your part, instead of all your hopes of Heaven? |
| A26903 | Did any thing make you so bad as you are, but your own choice and doing? |
| A26903 | Did he come to cherish sin, or to destroy it, and save us from it? |
| A26903 | Did you ever hear a man so mad as to say, I am sure there is no Heaven or Hell for Souls? |
| A26903 | Do not your Consciences now tell you, that you shall shortly wish, O that I had hated sinful pleasure? |
| A26903 | Do you know what his service is? |
| A26903 | Do you never think when the small Pox or a Feaver hath taken away one of your Companions, whither it is that his Soul is gone? |

| A26903 | Doth not God know his own mercy better than you do? |
| A26903 | Doth not God threaten punishment to the third and fourth Generation of them that hate him, and to visit the iniquity of the Fathers on the Children? |
| A26903 | Every day offereth you more and more mercies; and will you despise and lose them? |
| A26903 | For a filthy Lust or fleshly Pleasure, to sell a God, a Saviour, a Comforter, a Soul, a Heaven, and all your hopes? |
| A26903 | God hath made all this their great Duty for your good; and will you despise God and them, and wilfully for nothing reject it all? |
| A26903 | Had a Serpent stung them, or a Bear devoured them, they had done but according to their Nature: But was it natural in you to further their damnation? |

| A26903 | If not, alas, how far are you from it? |
| A26903 | If the good and bad do not greatly differ, what makes all mankind, even the sons of pride, to be so impatient of being called or accounted bad? |
| A26903 | If there be a Heaven, is Drunkenness or Sobriety liker to be the way to it? |
| A26903 | Is feeling, remediless feeling easier than believing God in time? |
| A26903 | Is he worthy of the help of Grace, that will not use his natural Reason? |

| A26903 | Is it not for your own need, and your own good, that he requireth your service? |
| A26903 | Is it not so to be out of the holy Covenant? |
| A26903 | Is it therefore wise or safe to avoid him? |
| A26903 | Is not Mercy and Salvation proclaimed and offered to you as freely as to them? |
| A26903 | Is not an uncertain Hell to be more feared and avoided ▪ than the forsaking of these certain trifles and deceits? |
| A26903 | Is not the feaverish and dropsie thirst after Drink, and Wealth, and Honour, better cured than pleased to the sinners death? |
| A26903 | Is the King unmerciful if he make use of Jails and Gallows for Malefactors? |
| A26903 | Is there nothing within you that grudgeth at your folly, and threateneth you for being wilfully besides your selves? |
| A26903 | Is this a light matter to you? |
| A26903 | May not you next think that the Devils may be saved? |
| A26903 | Must I breed up a Child for Hell, and see him miserable for ever? |
| A26903 | Must a seed of Serpents come after them? |
| A26903 | Nor be indifferent whether you go to Heaven or Hell? |
| A26903 | Now he is as you are, a slave of sin, and an heir of Hell: Was this it that you vowed him for to God in Baptism? |
| A26903 | O how madly have we despised our Salvation? |
| A26903 | O how quickly shall we all be at our race and Warfares end? |
| A26903 | O that I had spent my short life in obeying and trusting God? |
| A26903 | O that I were in the case of those that mortified the Flesh, and lived to God, and laid not up their Treasure on Earth, but in Heaven? |
| A26903 | O what a doleful difference is there between that great part of the World now, and what it was 1400 or 1000 years ago? |
| A26903 | O what a sight is it to see a man go merry and laughing towards damnation, and make a jeast of his own undoing? |
| A26903 | O what a thing is a blind mind, and a dead and hardened heart? |
| A26903 | O what need had mankind of a Saviour? |
| A26903 | O what should a man do that pittieth blind and wilful sinners, to make them willing of their own recovery? |
| A26903 | Or be kept without him from pain, misery, or death? |
| A26903 | Or can you think that you need to fear being losers by him, and that your faithful Duty should be in vain? |
| A26903 | Or should we live like Bruits that have none such? |
| A26903 | Or so bad as not to believe it? |
| A26903 | Should it be a hard thing to persuade a man in his wits to love himself, and to think what is good or hurtful to himself, especially for everlasting? |
| A26903 | Surely you can not be willing to be damned? |
| A26903 | To be called a wicked man, a lyar, a perjured man, a knave, how ill is it taken by all mankind? |
| A26903 | To find them love you not only as their Children, but as Gods? |
| A26903 | To see him at the brink of Hell, and will not believe it? |
| A26903 | Was it to serve the Flesh, the World, and the Devil, against our God, our Saviour, and our sanctifier? |

| A26903 | Will he suffer much for God or his Country, who will sell Heaven for nothing? |
| A26903 | Will it be my comfort, or my torment? |
| A26903 | Will not the fire burn you, or the Sea drown you, if you can but run into it drunk or winking? |
| A26903 | Will you appear before the Judge of Souls, to give up your great account before you think of it, and how it must be done? |
| A26903 | Will you bestow your thoughts all the day and year upon you know not what, nor why, and not one hour soberly think of such important things as these? |
| A26903 | Will you go out of the World before you well think whither you must go? |
| A26903 | Will you not say with Balaam, Let me die the death of the Righteous, and let my last end be like his? |
| A26903 | Will your not believing it make void the Justice and the Law of God, and save you from that Hell, which only believing could have saved you from? |
| A26903 | You would not have done as the mad Idolaters, that offered their Children in fire to Moloch: And will you offer them by sin to Satan and to Hell? |
| A26903 | and a Souldier for Satan against Christ? |

| A26903 | and refuse that which your Consciences tell you is best? |
| A26903 | and that we owe this God more full, more absolute, exact Obedience, than can be due to any Prince on Earth? |

| A26903 | how quickly will it come? |
| A26903 | much more which they hate, and their very natures are against? |
| A26903 | must I breed up a Child to become an Enemy to the Church of God, into which he was baptized? |
| A26903 | that have reason given them to know, and love, and serve their Maker? |
| A26903 | thinks a believing Father and Mother, have I brought thee into the World for this? |
| A26903 | were it not for the name of a pompous Christian- Church, how plain an instance would Rome be of the same Degeneracy? |
| A26903 | what heynous sin had he escaped; Had he made a Covenant with his eyes, as Iob did, what wounds had he prevented? |
| A26903 | what is a man that liveth not in the use of Reason? |
| A26903 | what men would one hours being in heaven make us, or one clear sight of it? |
| A26964 | ''T is an hard question, whether all Children in England be regularly admitted( as you may expound the words) by Baptism into the Church, yea or not? |
| A26964 | A little before the black Bartholomew, one of the foresaid in discourse enquired of me, what mine intentions were? |
| A26964 | And are not Children in our days received by Baptism in the same way, and upon the same terms and conditions, as from the beginning? |
| A26964 | And now why tarriest thou? |
| A26964 | And why will you lay a charge upon these, of doing what in reason ye can not but be convinced they are not in a condition to perform? |
| A26964 | But I forbear to bring in any new Objections, only give me leave to ask you this question, How you can fairly wave this dispute? |
| A26964 | But I would gladly be informed how, and in what manner this evil Spirit fled? |
| A26964 | But how? |
| A26964 | But if you will thus incroach presumptuously from your own head and heart, why am I bound to give credit unto you? |
| A26964 | But in the interim I wonder how the Bride and the Bridegroom could abide by it? |
| A26964 | But in the interim, are not they guilty of Sacriledge? |
| A26964 | But is nothing more expected from them? |
| A26964 | But is the devil capable of smelling? |
| A26964 | But is this a reason, say you, to break Communion with a Church, let any man judge? |
| A26964 | But it is now more than high time to be serious; Has therefore a Spirit flesh and bones? |
| A26964 | But now are the Condemned ever known to escape from the Hangman, after he has Noosed them in the Halter, and actually trussed them up? |
| A26964 | But now is this their chief study and intendment? |
| A26964 | But now shall their Babes upon this account be denyed their birth- right? |
| A26964 | But now shall these be thought worthy to be the Embassadours of God, and the Representatives of Christ? |
| A26964 | But now who are their under- shepherds? |
| A26964 | But now who shall presume to tell, as to hic& nunc( when this and another Child is baptized) concerning the certain concurrence of both these? |
| A26964 | But quo warranto? |
| A26964 | But though the good man slept with his eyes open, how could two sparrows joyn by a Conspiracy against him to make him blind? |
| A26964 | But what do you imagine, the Declaration binds the Minister only to say over those Prayers, and not to pray them, or pray in them? |
| A26964 | But what is it not enough that we are removed ab Officio& Beneficio, unless also we be further persecuted and torn in pieces by the Secular Powers? |
| A26964 | But whether? |
| A26964 | But who is the man? |
| A26964 | But why? |
| A26964 | But why? |
| A26964 | But you say, Can not we approve of the use of a Book, or approve of a Book, as lawful to be used, as well as assent and consent to the use of it? |
| A26964 | But you say, Nothing of Apocrypha is appointed for Sundays; whoever laid this to your charge? |
| A26964 | But you would know of me, whether nothing be undoubtedly certain by Scripture, but what we have an express Text for? |
| A26964 | But, say you, Why, or how then can there be any publick Sanctions in the world? |
| A26964 | Can these things be brought to pass, and effected, while God- children are down upon their knees, and ask their Godfathers blessing? |
| A26964 | Could he not have gone and opened the window for a little while, and relieved himself with the fresh and sweet Air? |
| A26964 | Death hath eased you of many of us already; and can not you quietly expect a little longer, and we shall all retire, and trouble you no more? |
| A26964 | Did you ever confer with them in private about the greatness and momentousness of their Font- ingagements? |
| A26964 | Did you ever in good earnest, either in the Pulpit; or out of the Pulpit, mind them of their duty? |
| A26964 | Do you think it lawful and expedient to stile every one of that sort, dear brother? |
| A26964 | For what is a Sacrament? |
| A26964 | From whence? |
| A26964 | Has a Spirit corporal parts, and bodily members? |
| A26964 | Here you say, I am a man of Conscience, that is of no Conscience at all, of a tender Conscience, that is cauteriz''d: But why? |
| A26964 | Honey and Milk are under your tongue; yet what is the reason of all this rancour and bitterness? |
| A26964 | How can we know the Law- makers intended, or will admit of any such a Subaudi? |
| A26964 | How does covetousness blind our eyes? |
| A26964 | How does evil custom impose upon our reason and judgment? |
| A26964 | How know you that the Church supposeth these words, Regularly admitted by Baptism? |
| A26964 | How quickly might the said person reply upon you, to your shame and confusion, in this or the like manner? |
| A26964 | How shall the Children of these, how scrupulous soever they be,( as you avouch they may) come to their Christendom? |
| A26964 | I answer, Be it so; but withall, pray let us see what ponderous Reasons you can bring for it? |
| A26964 | I answer, What is this to the matter before us? |
| A26964 | I profess I am at my wits end here, as in several other places, to find what you drive at; how then shall I fence my self against you? |
| A26964 | If he slept, how came it to pass that his eyes were open? |
| A26964 | Is any man found guilty of a much less hainous Indictment, and yet discharged without giving Sureties for his behaviour? |
| A26964 | Is it not, according to the Catechism, an outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace? |
| A26964 | Is not the sign of the Cross an outward and visible sign? |
| A26964 | Is this as a Conjunction of equality, or onely of aliquality? |
| A26964 | Now you would know of the scrupulous Non- conformist, whether this rule be given to the publick Officers of the Church, or to the private Christian? |
| A26964 | Of whom? |
| A26964 | Or can you express your hope before God, even sure and certain hope, of his resting in Christ, and eternal happiness? |
| A26964 | Quis tale legendo Temperet a risu? |
| A26964 | Shall a pitiful order of the Church in Comparison over- rule and obtain? |
| A26964 | Shall it be heeded and observed by the Minister more than the Regia placita of heaven it self? |
| A26964 | Shall not their Cattel, and their substance, and every beast of theirs be ours? |
| A26964 | Shall they be denyed a priviledge so excellent and so desirable? |
| A26964 | Shall this Christian assembly believe what is read unto them, or shall they not believe? |
| A26964 | Shall we obey God or Man? |
| A26964 | So vast a difference there is between being in Communion where faults are( for what Church is free from them?) |
| A26964 | Then the young man said to the Angel, to what use is the heart, the liver, and Gall of the fish? |
| A26964 | These are a swarming multitude; and yet shall all these undoubtedly be saved? |
| A26964 | Though they are young, do they not make a number in computation? |
| A26964 | Well, he comes, and on the contrary sees their Children strong and well; ought he now to baptize them according to the private or publick form? |
| A26964 | What as the Parables of our Saviour do? |
| A26964 | What can be said more, if the most Holy Martyr, or confessour, if Stephen again were carried to his Burial? |
| A26964 | What must a 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, our utter ruine and destruction be the Epilogue? |
| A26964 | What need the Cross, if washing with water could sufficiently bring about its own ends? |
| A26964 | What now will you answer to his Questions? |
| A26964 | What reverence and honour can be paid to such persons by the people; which is most absolutely necessary for the success of their Ministry? |
| A26964 | What signal service do such great Doctors, and Pluralists perform unto God and his Church? |
| A26964 | What strong convincing, and Cogent Motives of credence wrought you into this perswasion, and brought you into this mind? |
| A26964 | What therefore of help and remedy shall be found in the Case? |
| A26964 | What think you of S. Coleman the Traytor? |
| A26964 | What would you have him to do? |
| A26964 | What, Sir, do you think what you speak? |
| A26964 | What, are we in earnest, or in jest? |
| A26964 | What, shall the Fables of Apochrypha beavouched, to serve for instruction, comfort and reproof as the Parables of our Saviour do? |
| A26964 | What? |
| A26964 | What? |
| A26964 | Where speaking of those who were saved in Noah''s Ark by water, he subjoyns, the like Figure whereunto even Baptism doth also now save us? |
| A26964 | Wherefore I would humbly and peaceably enquire of you, Whether Conformists may not be Sacrilegious as well as Non- conformists? |
| A26964 | Who knows? |
| A26964 | Who, in this case, shall set the limits, and say, Ne plus ultra? |
| A26964 | Why should you presume to set such limits, to put such a close Hedge about the Rubrick, when it lies open, and in common? |
| A26964 | Why this rather then any of the rest, which are altogether Ejusdem farinae of the same leven? |
| A26964 | You say, And what is more required? |
| A26964 | You say, Is not Baptism said to be for remission of sins? |
| A26964 | You say, My reasoning against the Cross is so trifling, that you wonder with what face any can urge it? |
| A26964 | You should have rather queried, About what this rule is given? |
| A26964 | You therefore deserve a rebuke from your Superiours for your presumptuous intrusion; who made you of their counsel? |
| A26964 | and particularly to be instructed concerning the nature and quality of those solemn baptismal promises made on their behalf? |
| A26964 | and so what have I to do with the Curiosity and intreague of the Kalendar in this particular? |
| A26964 | and whither I would conform, yea or not? |
| A26964 | are we not abased sufficiently? |
| A26964 | but with what forehead could you utter it? |
| A26964 | can meerly taking holy Orders, take away the name and thing of what we call Sacriledge? |
| A26964 | can the putting on a canonical habit, put off all guilt and demerit in that kind? |
| A26964 | can these be supposed to have a throne in the hearts of the people, and to speak unto them with all authority and power? |
| A26964 | can these rule over the house of God? |
| A26964 | can you then with a good Conscience say, God in great mercy hath taken his Soul to himself? |
| A26964 | could he not have provided himself with a counter- charm? |
| A26964 | could he not have smelled out before hand what was consulted against him? |
| A26964 | could he not( as I have said) have stopped his nose, and kept out the stink? |
| A26964 | do ye envy our being and breathing amongst you? |
| A26964 | do you understand the Kings mind, and his true intent and meaning herein? |
| A26964 | does the Declaration only bind you to rehearse the Articles of it before the Congregation, and not believe them your self? |
| A26964 | has a devil the Organs of carnal sense? |
| A26964 | has he a palat to taste, as man tasteth? |
| A26964 | has he any word of Exhortation to stir them up to pay their Vows, and bind their Consciences to a due care and faithfulness herein? |
| A26964 | has he ears to hear, as man heareth? |
| A26964 | has he eyes to see, as man seeth? |
| A26964 | has he fingers to touch, as man toucheth? |
| A26964 | have ye not all in possession? |
| A26964 | have you kill''d him? |
| A26964 | how can you think it not incumbent upon you to make good the Assertion, and justifie what you have assented and consented unto? |
| A26964 | how do they answer the trust reposed in them? |
| A26964 | how good and faithful are they in their Steward- ship? |
| A26964 | is it odious and detestable Sacriledge in one person, and not in another? |
| A26964 | is this the end of the Church''s bounty and liberality? |
| A26964 | is this their constant imploy and negotiation? |
| A26964 | or do they not require continuance of time, with a continual care and diligence? |
| A26964 | or else to ruine and undo us, by turning us out a grazing in the woful wild of extreme poverty and want? |
| A26964 | or govern my Faith and Practice by your private Sentiments? |
| A26964 | or has he a nose to smel, as man smelleth? |
| A26964 | or whether he changed himself into the shape of any Fowl, Stork, long wing''d Hawk or the like? |
| A26964 | or why they should not be mentioned and appointed in Scripture? |
| A26964 | should this be your answer? |
| A26964 | that is, not to believe what he prays for to be right, and according to Gods holy will and pleasure? |
| A26964 | that they are all undoubtedly saved? |
| A26964 | what can more fully declare the love and favour of God towards it, and place it in Heaven? |
| A26964 | what does not the Declaration bind you to believe it your self, as well as to teach it the Children? |
| A26964 | what evil in it? |
| A26964 | what is our desert? |
| A26964 | what is the cause ye can not speak peaceably of us, or to us? |
| A26964 | what need therefore of that grave Item and Caution? |
| A26964 | what our provocation? |
| A26964 | what think you of the Creed? |
| A26964 | what use do they make of their vast incomes and salaries? |
| A26964 | what, is all meer formality without reality? |
| A26964 | whether by any Magical operation he changed himself into the shape of any Beast, Dromedary, Gray- hound or the like? |
| A26964 | who can discover this inscrutable secret? |
| A26964 | who hath authorized the Church to lay such a charge upon any, besides the Parents upon whom God has laid it? |
| A26964 | who hath known the mind of God herein? |
| A26964 | who shall take on them to determine which is most intelligible, and most edifying to the people, either the holy Scripture, or any other writings? |
| A26964 | who their substitutes, and under- feeders? |
| A26964 | why should you insert the word use, which they never inserted? |
| A26964 | why should you leave out, or put in any thing without their Commission? |
| A26964 | why was it not enjoyned us thus to declare, I assent and consent to the use and doing of all and every thing contained,& c? |
| A26964 | why was not this word openly mentioned and expressed? |
| A26964 | will you bring in your last mentioned plea, and think to help and justifie your self by it? |
| A26847 | ( Saith God) Who is this, that darkneth wisdom, with words without knowledge? |
| A26847 | ( i e.) what this Affliction meaneth? |
| A26847 | 1. he puts the question, Why doth the way of the Wicked prosper? |
| A26847 | 10. who would undertake to make a Judgment of Times, and did ask, Why were the former times better than these? |
| A26847 | 19. Who will appoint me the time? |
| A26847 | 2. Who knoweth, or can say, That is good for a man in this life, that never made a man Good? |
| A26847 | 20) Why is life given to the Afflicted, and light to the bitter in Soul? |
| A26847 | 20. that he vowed a vow; And see what he desireth of God? |
| A26847 | 3. Who knoweth, or can say, That those things are good for a man in this life, that have made many men worse, through their Abuse of them? |
| A26847 | 4. Who knoweth, or can say, That those things are good for a man in this life, that are things so uncertain? |
| A26847 | 8. Who can say, That is good for a man in this life, that makes the entrance into Eternal Life so difficult? |
| A26847 | A God that may give, and take away; and who can say to Him, What doest Thou? |
| A26847 | A Rebellious Heart into Obedience? |
| A26847 | An Honourable, Rich,& Prosperous Condition is changeable: and then, what is man the better for being in such a condition? |
| A26847 | An hard Heart into Softness? |
| A26847 | And considering this, Who can say, This or that condition is good or evil for a man, when he knoweth not how that condition may change? |
| A26847 | And do you think to enter Heaven, with two Steeples on your back? |
| A26847 | And if any ask, For what reason God hath hid this knowledg from man? |
| A26847 | And if he grieve, What reason have I for it? |
| A26847 | And likewise, What is it that makes an Afflicted condition Evil to some? |
| A26847 | And now, What doth the Lord thy God require of thee? |
| A26847 | And see for what end? |
| A26847 | And there is nothing befalleth us in an Afflicted Condition, but what is by Divine Ordination; and why should we then fret at it? |
| A26847 | And to see, What Crop is brought forth, and groweth in those furrows of Affliction? |
| A26847 | And what got she by it? |
| A26847 | And what is the reason that man knows not what shall be? |
| A26847 | And what knowest thou, O poor man, but thy poverty may be for thy good; and why then shouldst thou envy the Rich? |
| A26847 | And what will correct the bitter ingredients of an Afflicted Condition, that they be not too much dejected and cast down? |
| A26847 | And, if I am Rich, must I not say, It is by the blessing of the Lord? |
| A26847 | And, who can say, Prosperity is good for him, when he seeth Adversity over against him? |
| A26847 | Are you in a prosperous condition, and would you make a judgment of it, whether it be good for you? |
| A26847 | As Elkanah told Hannah, Am not I better to thee then ten Sons? |
| A26847 | As that Wicked King of Israel said, This Evil is of the Lord, why should I wait any longer? |
| A26847 | As when a loss or cross befalleth us, Whether we may lawfully wish, it had not been so? |
| A26847 | Behold the word of the Lord came to him, And he said to him, What doest thou here, Elijah? |
| A26847 | But how may a man know, that he is not the chooser of his own condition? |
| A26847 | But some may Ask, How may I know, in praying for the things of this Life, that I have a respect to Gods Glory; since the Heart of man is so Deceitful? |
| A26847 | But some may ask, Whether it be lawful for a man to wish, that a thing had fallen out otherwise then it did? |
| A26847 | But some will say, Is it not the Blessing of the Lord that maketh Rich? |
| A26847 | But then you will ask, What is the work, and what are the duties, that he is to do in an Afflicted condition? |
| A26847 | But then you will ask, What should a man do in this case, that he may know? |
| A26847 | But what is the Prophets reply? |
| A26847 | But what saith the Psalmist? |
| A26847 | But would you know, what is good for a man indeed, in this life? |
| A26847 | But you will ask, How may a man come to take a right view of his condition, that he be not mistaken about it? |
| A26847 | But, saith Solomon, What hath the Wise more than the Foolish? |
| A26847 | But, whether it be the place the great Master of the Family placed us in? |
| A26847 | But, why doth our Saviour call it, The unrighteous Mammon? |
| A26847 | Can you say, Lord, It is the Condition that thou hast chosen for me; and I am here by thy Disposal and Appointment? |
| A26847 | Can you say, The Rod of Affliction hath Sealed an Instruction to you concerning God, What he is? |
| A26847 | Christians, in an Afflicted Condition, are to see, Whether the Furnace hath done this work upon them? |
| A26847 | Dare you dye in an Unbelieving, and an Unregenerate Estate? |
| A26847 | Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? |
| A26847 | Did not Solomon, King of Israel, sin by those things? |
| A26847 | Do I know what these Crosses and Afflictions may bring forth? |
| A26847 | Do I know, but that good may lie in the womb of them? |
| A26847 | Do you do every Duty, as if it were your dying Duty? |
| A26847 | Do you do the work of your condition, and perform the duties of your condition? |
| A26847 | Do you not make them the Fuel for Lusts, and Instruments of Revenge? |
| A26847 | Do you not say to the Wedge of Gold, Thou art my Confidence? |
| A26847 | Do you not spend them upon your Lusts? |
| A26847 | Do you use the things of a prosperous condition, with this consideration, That they are things for which you must give an Account? |
| A26847 | Do you use the world, as though you used it not? |
| A26847 | Doth it hinder, or further my Salvation? |
| A26847 | Doth it hinder, or further my growth in Grace? |
| A26847 | Doth it set me, nearer Heaven, or nearer Hell? |
| A26847 | Doth your behaviour become your condition? |
| A26847 | For Prosperity; How do many abuse it to the feeding of their lusts, whereby that becomes evil to them that might have been for good? |
| A26847 | For the better understanding of this, consider, What it is that we call good? |
| A26847 | For, who knoweth what is Good for Man in this Life? |
| A26847 | For, who knoweth what is good for man in this life? |
| A26847 | Had Abraham a prosperous condition? |
| A26847 | Hath God made you one of His? |
| A26847 | Hath not God done this to cure the Tympany of Pride, or the Dropsy of Covetousness, or some Creature- Surfet? |
| A26847 | Hath not the Lord sent it to take me off the creature, and to imbitter it more to me? |
| A26847 | He putting out his Foot, shewed them his shoo, and said, Is not this shoo new? |
| A26847 | How Conscientious was David, when he was David the Persecuted? |
| A26847 | How a man may know, Whether a Prosperous Condition be good for him? |
| A26847 | How know you, that the Branch of the Tree hath nourishment from the Root? |
| A26847 | How many Ignorant ones, hath Affliction taught? |
| A26847 | How many Proud ones, hath Affliction Humbled? |
| A26847 | How many Wandring ones, hath Affliction Reduced and brought into the Way? |
| A26847 | How many are there, that do not enjoy, but lose themselves in that condition? |
| A26847 | How many are there, whom outward Fulness causeth to despise the Hony- Comb of the Gospel? |
| A26847 | How many are there, whose wealth hath cost them their lives? |
| A26847 | How many be there, that darken providence with their own sinful Inventions? |
| A26847 | How many do Fret, and Murmur, and break forth into the indecencies of passion, against God? |
| A26847 | How many fall a sleep, before they do their work? |
| A26847 | How many men are there, that had been happy, had not their prosperity destroyed them? |
| A26847 | How many men hath prosperity undone? |
| A26847 | How many wild, and unruly Spirits, hath Affliction tamed? |
| A26847 | How many worldlings, hath Afflictions Weaned from the world? |
| A26847 | How may a Man know, That a Prosperous condition is good for a man in this Life? |
| A26847 | How much do men father upon God, as his Gifts and Blessings, which they have got by their own injustice and oppression? |
| A26847 | How we have demeaned our selves in our conditions? |
| A26847 | If he rejoyce, it teacheth him, to put this question to himself, What reason have I for it? |
| A26847 | If they were good for Abraham,& c. Why may they not be good for me? |
| A26847 | Is God Vnrighteous,( saith the Apostle) that taketh Vengeance? |
| A26847 | Is it not finely made? |
| A26847 | Is it such, as becometh such providences and dispensations? |
| A26847 | Is not this great Babel that I have built,& c? |
| A26847 | Is she not Beautiful? |
| A26847 | Is she not Honest? |
| A26847 | Is the thing worth my joy? |
| A26847 | Is there any that walketh in darkness and hath no light? |
| A26847 | It is good for Christians then, to put the Question to themselves, What God hath the more from them, for that they have received from Him? |
| A26847 | It is thus with some, They never know when they have enough: And never consider, Can I run this Race with all these cumbersome things about me? |
| A26847 | It was the saying of Socrates, when he saw great Riches carried through a Town, How happy am I, that I can live without all this? |
| A26847 | It was wickedly spoken by that King of Israel, Who said, This evil is of the Lord, why should I wait any longer? |
| A26847 | Lastly, How many Sinners, hath Affliction stopped, who else, had run headlong into Hell; if God had not made a Hedg of Affliction in their way? |
| A26847 | Lest I be full and forget Thee, and say, Who is the Lord? |
| A26847 | Many indeed say, concerning Afflictions, as those did concerning Nazareth, Can any Good come out of Nazareth? |
| A26847 | Many there be, that never say, as Rebecca did, Why am I thus? |
| A26847 | Now can you say, This Diet- drink of Affliction hath cured you of this Disease? |
| A26847 | Now consider, What is the work of the Plough? |
| A26847 | Now what is the reason, that the Physick of Affliction doth some persons no good? |
| A26847 | Now where is the difference? |
| A26847 | Now, What is their Sin all this while? |
| A26847 | Now, how came David, to have his Judgment rectified, concerning these Dispensations of God? |
| A26847 | Now, how is it with such men as goe to War? |
| A26847 | Now, how shall we know it was good for the Land that it was Plowed? |
| A26847 | Now, what is Godliness? |
| A26847 | Now, what is the Fire and Furnace to do? |
| A26847 | Now, what was the cause of all this? |
| A26847 | Of your own Mortality? |
| A26847 | Or in an Afflicted condition? |
| A26847 | Plutarch, telleth us this Story of a Roman, He put away his Wife; his Friends thereupon asked him, VVhat fault he found with her? |
| A26847 | Question, Whether it be lawful to pray for the things of this life? |
| A26847 | Riches,& c? |
| A26847 | Seeing there are many things that increase Vanity, what is Man the better? |
| A26847 | Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what is man the better? |
| A26847 | Shall mortal man be just with God? |
| A26847 | Shall not the Judg of all the Earth do Right? |
| A26847 | Should we expect that Grace should have no Conflict, no Conquest before the Triumph; but be Crown''d, before we have shewed what it can do? |
| A26847 | So ask a man, whether he be fit and able to bear a prosperous condition? |
| A26847 | So the Question is, Whether this Truth, do not deny and destroy all Care of Providence? |
| A26847 | So the things to be Known, are these: 1. Who is the Framer of our Conditions; Who it is Ordains and Appoints them, and puts us into them? |
| A26847 | So then, Would a man know, whether prosperity be good for him; I would ask him this, What use he doth make of the things of a prosperous condition? |
| A26847 | So then, in a prosperous condition, we should put this Question to our selves, What use we make of the things of the condition? |
| A26847 | So we may say, Is God Unrighteous, that sendeth Affliction? |
| A26847 | So, Can any good come out of Afflictions? |
| A26847 | So, How can those things, that increase cares and troubles, make Man the better? |
| A26847 | So, in every condition we should put this Question to our selves; What is it that the Lord requires me do, as the work of my condition? |
| A26847 | So, on the contrary; Would you know, Whether an Afflicted condition be Evil for a Man? |
| A26847 | Some may Ask, What is a convenient Estate? |
| A26847 | Some may ask, But what are those things that are good without doubt, without controversy, for a man in this life? |
| A26847 | Some may ask, What is it that speaks our giving the things of another life, the Preheminence? |
| A26847 | Some there are that possess much in this life, but never put this question, Do I enjoy God, with the things that I receive from him? |
| A26847 | The Apostle James, puts this Question, Can a Fountain send forth sweet water and bitter? |
| A26847 | The Scripture discovereth this to us, What are the true Correctives of a Condition? |
| A26847 | The great Question you are to put to your selves, is, Whether you are Spiritual gainers or losers by your condition? |
| A26847 | The great Question, we are to put to our selves, is this, VVhether Affliction, hath opened a way for Instruction to come to our Hearts? |
| A26847 | The question we are to put to our selves in an Afflicted Condition, is, What Instruction the Affliction hath Sealed to us? |
| A26847 | The second thing to be Enquired after, is, Of what Men, this is to be understood? |
| A26847 | There be many that say,( saith David) Who will shew us any good? |
| A26847 | There is a known Story, of the answer that a Shepheard returned to some Travailers, who asked him, What weather they should have? |
| A26847 | There were Talents delivered, and the Master called his servants to an account, how they had used, and improved those Talents? |
| A26847 | Thereupon, Solomon makes this great Enquiry, Wherein Man''s chiefest Good and Happinesse consists? |
| A26847 | This evil is of the Lord, why should I wait any longer? |
| A26847 | Thou, o Rich man, knowest not but that thy riches may be for thy hurt, Why shouldst thou then despise the poor? |
| A26847 | Though we are not able to tell you concerning outward things, What are good for a man in this life? |
| A26847 | Thus a man should reason with himself; Why should I be proud of those things which have proved evill to some, and I know not but they may be so to me? |
| A26847 | Thus we have finished the First thing, by which a man is to make a judgment of an Afflicted Condition; whether it be good for him in this life or not? |
| A26847 | Thus, in General, You see what we Answer to the Question, Whether Evils of Affliction may be Prayed against? |
| A26847 | To how many have they become a Trap, and Snare, and occasions of Sin? |
| A26847 | Upon this, Pharoah thought, that he depended not upon God, for the fruitfulness of his Country; and presumes to say, Is not the River mine? |
| A26847 | VVe are apt to affect the higher conditions, but we should look to this, Whether the place we sit in, be the place of God''s choosing? |
| A26847 | VVe should consider, VVhether we do not take the Honour to our selves, of placing our selves in conditions? |
| A26847 | VVhat do we deserve? |
| A26847 | VVhether we did not place our selves? |
| A26847 | VVho is it, that can look upon himself as such, and yet stand upon it, to have what he will? |
| A26847 | WE now come to answer another Question, that some may Ask, concerning, What is convenient? |
| A26847 | Was not my Soul grieved for the Poor? |
| A26847 | We are to see, What good our Blood- letting hath done us, Whether it hath taken down our high Colour, and our high Looks? |
| A26847 | We are to see, Whether it hath taken away any of our corrupt Blood? |
| A26847 | We should see, Whether Afflictions do melt our hearts? |
| A26847 | What Glory we have brought to God? |
| A26847 | What Good we have done to others? |
| A26847 | What Instructions hath Affliction Sealed concerning Sin? |
| A26847 | What Instructions hath Afflictions Sealed concerning the Creature? |
| A26847 | What Instructions hath Afflictions Sealed concerning your selves? |
| A26847 | What Instructions hath the Rod sealed concerning Duty? |
| A26847 | What a man is to do in that Condition? |
| A26847 | What answer we can make, when we are asked, How came you there? |
| A26847 | What comfort hath a Great man, if he hath the Stone in the Bladder, or the Gout? |
| A26847 | What doest thou here, Elijah? |
| A26847 | What hath the Poor, that knoweth to walk before the Living? |
| A26847 | What if a prosperous condition should change? |
| A26847 | What is it, that makes a Prosperous condition Evil to some? |
| A26847 | What is the cause that to some, Afflictions are so heavy? |
| A26847 | What is the meaning of that? |
| A26847 | What is your carriage, and behaviour in the condition? |
| A26847 | What may allay the Sweetness, and Pleasantness of Prosperity, that they be not too much lifted up? |
| A26847 | What those things are? |
| A26847 | What was the cause of all this? |
| A26847 | What we have been? |
| A26847 | What we have done? |
| A26847 | What you do in your condition? |
| A26847 | What you make of your condition? |
| A26847 | When Esau asked Jacob, Whose Children are these? |
| A26847 | When God Afflicts, and Chastiseth, and Corrects, Who would think there were good in His Intention? |
| A26847 | When God puts you into an Afflicted condition, What do you do in that condition? |
| A26847 | When Shimei cursed David, what said David? |
| A26847 | When Solon the Wise, came to visit Croesus the Rich, Croesus shewed him his Wealth, and asked him, Whether he thought him not the happiest man living? |
| A26847 | When a man seeketh after Riches, and Honour,& c. There is some question to be made, Whether these things are good for him? |
| A26847 | When one came to Austin, and told him of one that came to a strange End, he presently asked, But, how did he Live? |
| A26847 | When we are either in a Prosperous or an Adverse condition, and are asked, How we came there? |
| A26847 | When we can say, as Job did, Shall we receive good at the hands of God, and shall we not receive evil? |
| A26847 | When you went into the Furnace you went in dross, but do you come forth as Gold? |
| A26847 | Where is the man that can come forth and say, That his Riches and Honours, did ever change his heart or reform his life? |
| A26847 | Wherein stands the Adorning of a man''s Condition? |
| A26847 | Whether God''s dealings with us, please us; and our carriage, in our condition, please Him? |
| A26847 | Whether it be lawful to Pray for outward and worldly good things, as Riches,& c. Since we know not, but we may pray for what is evil for us? |
| A26847 | Whether it hath Purified and Refined them? |
| A26847 | Whether it hath melted a Proud Heart into Humility? |
| A26847 | Whether they can love a hiding God? |
| A26847 | Whether they can walk dutifully, when God walketh strangely? |
| A26847 | Who knoweth what is good for man in this Life? |
| A26847 | Who would esteem of Beauty,( saith another) which a Whore may have, as well as an honest Woman? |
| A26847 | Why doth the living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? |
| A26847 | Why doth the living man complain? |
| A26847 | Why doth the way of the wicked prosper? |
| A26847 | Why should he not patiently endure the akeing of teeth, that knowes he hath deserved the gnashing of teeth? |
| A26847 | Why wilt thou set thy heart upon that which is not? |
| A26847 | Would you know, whether Prosperity be Good for a Man? |
| A26847 | You will ask, What is a man to do in an Afflicted condition, that he may be able to make a judgment of it, Whether it be good for him? |
| A26847 | and Holiness to Jehovah, upon your Fore- heads? |
| A26847 | and the burning of a feaver, when he knoweth he hath deserved Burning in Hell? |
| A26847 | and worth my sorrow? |
| A26847 | but how careless, when he was David the King? |
| A26847 | for the choosing or refusing a condition; so that I may not do what is contrary the Will of God, and to my own good? |
| A26847 | hath He given you, the New Name, which none knoweth, but he that hath it? |
| A26847 | hath He shed his Love abroad in your hearts? |
| A26847 | have you Love to Jesus, written upon your hearts? |
| A26847 | have you, the Engravings of Heaven on your Spirits? |
| A26847 | q. d. What hath a painfull and laborious Poor man lesse of Contentment than the Rich? |
| A26847 | the last, The Lord giveth Baruch a sharp reproof for this, And seekest thou great things for thy self? |
| A26847 | what answer can you give? |
| A26847 | what can a man see, when he is at the bottom, and foot of a Mountain? |
| A26847 | whether he be fit for Honour and Riches? |
| A26847 | whether it intend good, or evil? |
| A26847 | whether it proceed from love, or hatred? |
| A26847 | why should I fret and murmur at these dispensations? |
| A27061 | & c. and that all that name the name of Christ, must depart from iniquitie? |
| A27061 | & that no man can be saved except he be converted and born again? |
| A27061 | 1, 4? |
| A27061 | 2, 3. and that you must be constant and fervent in Prayer? |
| A27061 | 21. and wouldst thou not be thus perfected in soul and body? |
| A27061 | 35, 36. to the end[ Who shall separate us from the love of God? |
| A27061 | Alas, what should a faithfull Minister do, for the saving of your souls? |
| A27061 | Am I beset with sin, and compassed with infirmities, and racked by my own distempered passion? |
| A27061 | Am I maliced by dissenting adversaries? |
| A27061 | And alas, how quickly are they gone, when once God sees them ripe for heaven? |
| A27061 | And can there be any thing in the will of God, that his servants should inordinately fear? |
| A27061 | And can we live in daily pain and weariness, and not be willing of release? |
| A27061 | And doth not thy heart desire this? |
| A27061 | And first, you may hence be easily resolved; Whether Death be truly penal to the godly? |
| A27061 | And hast thou not far better and more in heaven? |
| A27061 | And if so, why then shouldst thou not be more willing to die, and be with Christ and all his holy ones, that are so much more excellent than we? |
| A27061 | And is it not hainous then to denie him with the heart and life; and to denie him the love and obedience that is Properly due to God? |
| A27061 | And is not this enough for us to know? |
| A27061 | And is not this the case of all those millions, whose souls now see the face of Christ? |
| A27061 | And is there any thing in this that thy soul is against, and which dost not value above this WORLD? |
| A27061 | And knowest thou not poor complaining soul, that the kindness of Christ overcometh all the unkindness of his children? |
| A27061 | And may we not bear a while the sorrows that shall have so good an end? |
| A27061 | And rather here suffer with us, than reign in Heaven with Christ and us? |
| A27061 | And shall we grieve that they are not here, when to be here, would be their grief? |
| A27061 | And shall we not more boldly trust the will of God then of our dearest friend? |
| A27061 | And shall we stick at the uncloathing of our souls, in ord ● ● to their everlasting Rest? |
| A27061 | And shall we think much to dye ▪ for such a gain? |
| A27061 | And was Heaven the spring and motive of thy obedience, and the comfort of thy life? |
| A27061 | And will not he perfect the conquest which he hath begun? |
| A27061 | And would we be thus still? |
| A27061 | And yet he doth not therefore disown them, and turn them out of his family; but is tender of them in their froward weakness; because they are his own? |
| A27061 | Are thy friends lamenting thee, and grieved to see the signs of thy approaching death? |
| A27061 | Are we not all agreed that the Law of the Lord must be your delight and that you must meditate in it day and night? |
| A27061 | Are we not hasting after them at the heels, and do we not hope to live with them for ever? |
| A27061 | Art thou better then Noah, and Abraham, and David? |
| A27061 | Art thou loath to leave thy friends on earth? |
| A27061 | Art thou not delivered from the reign and tyranny of it, which thou wast once under? |
| A27061 | Art thou under pains, and consuming sicknesses? |
| A27061 | But if we might pass from Earth to Heaven, as from one room to another, what haste should we make in our desires? |
| A27061 | But now what a pillar is here for faith? |
| A27061 | But to our selves, that are brought out of Aegypt into the Wilderness, how desirable is the promised Land? |
| A27061 | But what comfort is all this to me that know not whether I have part in Christ or no? |
| A27061 | But what is it that an hypocrite will not do to escape Death? |
| A27061 | But when the glorious King of Peace hath put all his enemies under his feet, what then is left to make disturbance? |
| A27061 | But when we stand over the grave, and see our friends laid in the dust; how mortified do we seem? |
| A27061 | Can we have grace and not be weary of these corruptions? |
| A27061 | Can we have life, and not be pained with these diseases? |
| A27061 | Canst thou think that Christ hath purchased, and offered, and promised that which he will not give? |
| A27061 | Could we but come to Heaven as easily as innocent Adam might have done if he had conquered, what wings would it add to our desires? |
| A27061 | Couldst thou not joyfully see the coming of Christ, if it were this day( if thou have done thy work, and art assured of his love?) |
| A27061 | Did Christ ever shew himself unkind to thee? |
| A27061 | Did he ever give thee cause to think so poorly of his Love and grace, as thy doubts do intimate thou dost? |
| A27061 | Did he take flesh purposely that he might dye and rise, and shew us how he will raise his members? |
| A27061 | Did they not lie as thou dost, and die as thou must, and pass by death to the life which they have now attained? |
| A27061 | Didst thou pray for that which thou wouldst not have? |
| A27061 | Do they privily lay snares for me, and watch my halting, and seek advantage against my name, and liberty and life? |
| A27061 | Do they seem so hard and grievous to thee, that thou wilt venture thy soul in thy state of sin, rather then accept of them? |
| A27061 | Do you dislike the sins of Professors of Godliness? |
| A27061 | Do you know how near you are to judgement, and will you fearlesly thus heap up wrath, and lay in fewel for the everlasting flames? |
| A27061 | Do you love life, or do you not? |
| A27061 | Do you think they would wish themselves again on earth? |
| A27061 | Dost thou fear the dreafdul face of death? |
| A27061 | Dost thou know what thy Brethren are now enjoying, and what the heavenly Host are doing? |
| A27061 | Dost thou not hate it, and set thy self against it as thy enemy? |
| A27061 | Dost thou not know that all his children have their forwardness, and are guilty of their unkindnesses to him? |
| A27061 | Had you not far rather be thus changed then abide on earth? |
| A27061 | Hadst thou rather have liberty to commit it, or be delivered from it? |
| A27061 | Hadst thou rather travel with us, than dwell with us? |
| A27061 | Hast thou any thing here that thou shalt want in Heaven? |
| A27061 | Hast thou laboured for it, and denyed thy self the pleasures of the world for it? |
| A27061 | Hast thou not found him kind when thou wast unkind? |
| A27061 | Hath he conquered Death for himself alone, and not for us? |
| A27061 | Hath he not broken the heart of thy pride and worldliness, and sensuality and made thee a new Creature? |
| A27061 | Hath he taken our Nature into Heaven, to be there alone, and will he not have all his members with him? |
| A27061 | He was found of thee,( or rather found thee) when thou soughtest not after him: and can he reject thee now thou cryest and callest for his grace? |
| A27061 | How careful are we to keep in these Lamps, and to maintain the Oyl? |
| A27061 | How dealt he with the Disciples, that fell a sleep; when they should have watcht with Christ in the night of his great agony? |
| A27061 | How earnestly we should pray? |
| A27061 | How joyfully should we think and speak of Heaven? |
| A27061 | How joyfully will the soul and body meet, that were separated so long? |
| A27061 | How much the imitation of such examples would conduce to the sanctifying of families, is easie to be apprehended? |
| A27061 | How noble a creature doth it destroy? |
| A27061 | How readily would our Thoughts run out to Christ? |
| A27061 | How seriously should we meditate and confer of Heaven? |
| A27061 | How terrible is Death to an earthly- minded man, that had neglected his soul for a treasure here, which must then be dissipated in a moment? |
| A27061 | I would ask thee, Whether thou see not a beauty in Holiness, which is the Image of Christ, and whether thy soul do not desire it even in perfection? |
| A27061 | If it be a sin to crack our faith by some particular error, what is it to dash it all to peices? |
| A27061 | If it be odious in your eyes, to denie some particular Ordinance of God, what is it to neglect or Prophane them all? |
| A27061 | If not, why are you afraid of death? |
| A27061 | If so, I would know of thee, whether this be not from the spirit of Christ within thee? |
| A27061 | If so, be assured that it is not without Holyness, that thou choosest and preferrest Holyness? |
| A27061 | If thou hadst no sin, what use hadst thou of a Saviour? |
| A27061 | If thou say that it is not his unkindness, but thy own that feeds thy doubts; I further ask thee, Is he not kind to the unkind? |
| A27061 | If you ask, How is all this to be ascribed to Christ? |
| A27061 | If you do, why then are you loath to pass into everlasting life? |
| A27061 | Indeed we may say, O Death, Where is thy sting? |
| A27061 | Is it Christ that your heart is thus a verse to, or is it only Death that standeth in the way? |
| A27061 | Is it God and Heaven, or is it Death? |
| A27061 | Is it not for Christ& his benefits, that thy heart thus worketh, and thou dost all this? |
| A27061 | Is it nothing to be dead in sins and trespasses? |
| A27061 | Is it seemly for thee to lament thus at the door, when they are feasted with such unconceivable joys within? |
| A27061 | Is not all this grievous to an honest heart? |
| A27061 | Is not this the case of manie among you? |
| A27061 | Is the presence of Christ less desirable in thy eyes, than the presence of such sinful worms as we, whom thou art loath to part with? |
| A27061 | Is there a gracious soul, that groaneth not under the burden of these miseries? |
| A27061 | Is there no remedie? |
| A27061 | Is this a time to fear and mourn, when thou art entring into endless joy? |
| A27061 | Let Faith take a view of him that was dead and is alive, that was buried and is risen, and was humbled and is now exalted? |
| A27061 | Moreover, art thou not truly willing to yield to all the terms of grace? |
| A27061 | Must he therefore plead against his Physician? |
| A27061 | Must not your Teachers say, He sent to you, and was willing to have done his part, and you refused? |
| A27061 | Must there a place be empty, and a voice be wanting in the Heavenly Chore, Iest we should miss our friends on earth? |
| A27061 | Must thy tender flesh be turned to rottenness and dust? |
| A27061 | Must we let them go? |
| A27061 | Nay what a treasure of everlasting consequence do these two words express? |
| A27061 | Now, if we will vigorously appear for God, against a sinful generation, how many will appear against us? |
| A27061 | O Sirs, do you know what you are doing? |
| A27061 | O What a brutish thing is flesh? |
| A27061 | O grave, where is thy victory? |
| A27061 | O what should we do for the saving if careless, senseless souls? |
| A27061 | Once thou wast a despiser of God and his holy wayes: but now it is far otherwise with thee? |
| A27061 | Or dost thou not love their names, and wouldst thou not be with them? |
| A27061 | Shall the face of death discourage us from desiring such a blessed day? |
| A27061 | Shall the happiness of our friends be our sorrow and lamentation? |
| A27061 | Shall we believe, and fly from the end of our belief? |
| A27061 | Shall we desire and pray, and be afraid of attaining our desires, and lest our prayers should be heard? |
| A27061 | Shall we hope, and be loath to enjoy our hopes? |
| A27061 | Shall we spend our lives in labour and travel, and be afraid of comming to our journeys end? |
| A27061 | She was very exemplary in self- denial and humility: And having said thus much, what abundance have I comprehended? |
| A27061 | Suppose that I, and such as I, were the friends that thou art loath to leave: What if we had dyed long before thee? |
| A27061 | Tell me plainly, hadst thou rather keep thy sin, or leave it? |
| A27061 | The Lord doth gently question with him[ Dost thou well to be angry?] |
| A27061 | The deterred, discouraged soul moves slowly in the way of life: Whereas if Death were not in our way, how chearfully should we run towards Heaven? |
| A27061 | Then where is the man that will stand forth, and break a jest at godliness, or make a scorn of the holy diligence of Believers? |
| A27061 | They were once on earth as low as we: and we shall be shortly in heaven, as high as they: Am I now in flesh, in fears, in griefs? |
| A27061 | What a bondage is it, that our souls are so entangled with the creatures? |
| A27061 | What a multitude of the most hainous sins are daily committed through the fears of death? |
| A27061 | What a word of Hope and Joy is this, that[ Christ is risen?] |
| A27061 | What an unreasonable thing is unbelief? |
| A27061 | What an unspeakable comfort would this be to a dying man? |
| A27061 | What else is Deaah but the ending of our Time? |
| A27061 | What if the patient understand not how blood- letting cureth the infected blood that is left behind? |
| A27061 | What is it that is ungrateful to you in your meditations of your change? |
| A27061 | What saith thy heart now to those terms? |
| A27061 | What suffering then can be so great, in which a believer should not rejoyce, when he is before hand promised a gracious end? |
| A27061 | What terrour will seize upon those hearts, that here were wo nt to make themselves sport at the weaknesses of the upright servants of the Lord? |
| A27061 | What then wilt thou think of all these disquieting, distrustful Thoughts that now so wrong thy Lord and thee? |
| A27061 | What though at the present it be not joyous, but greivous( in it self?) |
| A27061 | What was it that that rejoyced thee all thy life, in thy prayers, and sufferings, and labours? |
| A27061 | What 〈 ◊ 〉 doth it cost our ▪ Parents ▪ and our selves to make provision for this Life? |
| A27061 | What? |
| A27061 | When we have so full assurance, that at last this enemy also shall be destroyed? |
| A27061 | Where there is one on earth, how many are there in Heaven? |
| A27061 | Who is so mad, as wilfully to sin with Death in his eye? |
| A27061 | Who then is the wise and knowing man amongst you? |
| A27061 | Who would not enter willingly into the fight, when he may before hand be assured, that the field shall be cleared of every enemy? |
| A27061 | Who would not submit to any labour or toyl for a day, that he might win a life of plenty and delight by it? |
| A27061 | Why dost thou doubt( poor humbled soul) of thy interest in Christ, that must make the conquest? |
| A27061 | Why shouldst thou be afraid to go the way that all the Saints have gone before thee? |
| A27061 | Why then art thou not as loath to stay from them? |
| A27061 | Why thus it was once with the millions that are now triumphing with their Lord? |
| A27061 | Will thy Physitian therefore cast thee off, because thou art sick? |
| A27061 | Would it not rejoyce your hearts, if you were sure to live, to see the coming of the Lord, and to see his glorious appearing and retinue? |
| A27061 | Wouldst thou have our company? |
| A27061 | Yea hath not Christ already subdued so many of thy enemies, as may assure thee he will subdue the rest? |
| A27061 | and be not his Image it self upon thee? |
| A27061 | and begun that life in thee, which may assure thee of eternal life? |
| A27061 | and canst thou think it seemly to be so unlike them, that are passing to them? |
| A27061 | and is not this a pledge that he will do the rest? |
| A27061 | and must thou lie in darkness till the Resurrection, and thy body remain as the Common earth? |
| A27061 | and now art thou afraid to enter in? |
| A27061 | and part with any thing to attain it? |
| A27061 | and say, It will not be done, because he knoweth not how it s done? |
| A27061 | and shall thy approaches to it be thy sorrows? |
| A27061 | and shall we grudge that they are gone a day, or week, or year, before us? |
| A27061 | and so detained from the love of God? |
| A27061 | and that he thought on thee when thou didst not think on him? |
| A27061 | and that his blood and grace is sufficient to save thee, from greater sins then those that trouble thee? |
| A27061 | and that if you live after the flesh ye shall die? |
| A27061 | and that thou shouldst cast away the joy of the Lord which is thy strength, and gratifie the enemy of thy peace? |
| A27061 | and that you must first seek the Kingdom of God& his Righteousness? |
| A27061 | and the motions of the new and heavenly nature, which is begotten in thee by the Holy Ghost? |
| A27061 | and what can be more necessary to a comfortable end, then faithfully to use it while we have it? |
| A27061 | and where we must live for ever, than where we must be but for so short a time? |
| A27061 | and whether it be not only a lothness to die, and not a lothness to be with Christ? |
| A27061 | and who doth not dread the name, or at least the face of Death? |
| A27061 | and will he after all this, break his promise, and leave us in the dust for ever? |
| A27061 | and will he now forget thee, and end in wrath that begun in Love? |
| A27061 | and will you live as if you had nothing but the world to mind, when you are even readie to step into the endless world? |
| A27061 | and yet had we rather dwell with sin, in tempting, troubling, corruptible flesh, then lay them by, and dwell with Christ? |
| A27061 | and yet will you now stand loitering; and quarrelling, and jesting, and dallying in the matters of salvation? |
| A27061 | and yet wilt thou pass into it with heaviness? |
| A27061 | are thine eyes held waking; and doth trouble and sorrow wast thy spirits? |
| A27061 | are we not all agreed, that God is to be preferred before the world? |
| A27061 | do they weep when they see thy pale face, and consumed body, and when they hear thy sighs and groans? |
| A27061 | doth thy flesh and thy heart fail thee, and thy friends prove silly comforters to thee? |
| A27061 | especially when they lament their own unkindness? |
| A27061 | how bitterly will they reproach us? |
| A27061 | how falsly will they slander us, and say all manner of evil against us? |
| A27061 | how full they are of God and how they are ravished with his Light and Love? |
| A27061 | or is it only because you fear lest you have no interest in his Love, and shall not attain the blessedness which you desire? |
| A27061 | or unwilling to receive thee, and have mercy on thee? |
| A27061 | or who so dead, as with Death in his eye, to refuse to live a godly life, if he have any spiritual light and feeling? |
| A27061 | or would they take it kindly of you, if you could bring them down again into this world, though it were to reign in wealth and honour? |
| A27061 | our thoughts of it would be still sweet, and these would be a powerful Spring to action? |
| A27061 | shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? |
| A27061 | so did they by David, and many other now with Christ? |
| A27061 | that we find continually so much of the creature, and so little of God upon our hearts? |
| A27061 | then Peter and Paul and all the Saints? |
| A27061 | was it not the hopes of heaven? |
| A27061 | where no more complainings shall be heard from our mouths, nor no more sorrow shall possess our hearts? |
| A27061 | who would not be spit upon, and made the scorn of the world for a day, if he might have his will for it as long as he liveth on earth? |
| A27061 | would it not be the greatest joy that you could desire? |
| A27061 | would you not gladly do it? |
| A27061 | yea, in every prayer, what do we else but confess them, and lament them, and groan for help, and for deliverance? |
| A27048 | 8.35, 36. to the end[ Who shall separate us from the love of God? |
| A27048 | A ● as, what should a faithfull Minister do, for the saving of your souls? |
| A27048 | Am I beset with sin, and compassed with infirmities, and racked by my own distempered passion? |
| A27048 | Am I maliced by dissenting adversaries? |
| A27048 | And alas, how quickly are they gone, when once God sees them ripe for heaven? |
| A27048 | And can there be any thing in the will of God, that his servants should inordinately fear? |
| A27048 | And can we live in daily pain and weariness, and not be willing of release? |
| A27048 | And doth not thy heart desire this? |
| A27048 | And first, you may hence be easily resolved, Whether Death be truly penal to the godly? |
| A27048 | And hast thou not far better and more in heaven? |
| A27048 | And if so, why then shouldst thou not be more willing to die, and be with Christ and all his holy ones, that are so much more excellent then we? |
| A27048 | And if thou be not willing, what makes thee wish, and groan, and pray, and labour in the use of means? |
| A27048 | And is it not haynous then to deny him with the heart and life; and to deny him the love and obedience that is properly due to God? |
| A27048 | And is not this enough for us to know? |
| A27048 | And is not this the case of all those millions, whose souls now see face of Christ? |
| A27048 | And is there any thing in this that thy soul is against, and which thou dost not value above this wor ● d? |
| A27048 | And may we not bear a while the sorrows that shall have so good an end? |
| A27048 | And shall death seem intolerable to us, that letteth in our souls to Christ? |
| A27048 | And shall we grieve that they are not here, when to be here, would be their grief? |
| A27048 | And shall we not more boldly trust the will of God then of our dearest friend? |
| A27048 | And shall we stick at the uncloathing of our souls, in order to their everlasting Rest? |
| A27048 | And shall we think much to die for such a gain? |
| A27048 | And was Heaven the spring and motive of thy obedience, and the comfort of thy life? |
| A27048 | And will not he perfect the conquest which he hath begun? |
| A27048 | And would we be thus still? |
| A27048 | And yet he doth not therefore disown them, and turn them out of his family; but is tender of them in their froward weakness, because they are his own? |
| A27048 | And yet we say, we believe, and hope, and labour, and wait for the same felicity ● Shall the happiness of our friends be our sorrow and lamentation? |
| A27048 | Are thy friends lamenting thee, and grieved to see the signs of thy approaching death? |
| A27048 | Are we not hasting after them at the heels, and do we not hope to live with them for ever? |
| A27048 | Art thou better then Noah, and Abraham, and David? |
| A27048 | Art thou loath to leave thy friends on earth? |
| A27048 | Art thou not delivered from the reign and tyranny of it, which thou wast once under? |
| A27048 | Art thou under pains, and consuming sicknesses? |
| A27048 | But if we might pass from earth to heaven, as from one room to another, what haste should we make in our desires? |
| A27048 | But now what a pillar is here for faith? |
| A27048 | But to our selves, that are brought out of Aegypt into the Wilderness, how desirable is the promised Land? |
| A27048 | But what comfort is all this to me that know not whether I have part in Christ or no? |
| A27048 | But what is it that an hypocrite will not do to escape Death? |
| A27048 | But when the glorious King of peace hath put all his enemies under his feet, what then is left to make disturbance? |
| A27048 | But when we stand over the grave, and see our friends laid in the dust, how mortified do we seem? |
| A27048 | Can we have grace and not be weary of these corruptions? |
| A27048 | Can we have life, and not be pained with these diseases? |
| A27048 | Canst thou think that Christ hath purchased, and offered, and promised that which he will not give? |
| A27048 | Could we but come to Heaven as easily as innocent Adam might have done if he had conquered, what wings would it add to our desires? |
| A27048 | Couldst thou not joyfully see the coming of Christ, if it were this day( if thou have done thy work, and art assured of his love?) |
| A27048 | Did Christ ever shew himself unkind to thee? |
| A27048 | Did he ever give thee cause to think so poorly of his Love and grace, as thy doubts do intimate thou dost? |
| A27048 | Did he take flesh purpose ● y that he might die and rise, and shew us how he will raise his members? |
| A27048 | Did men but know the difference between the death of the holy and the unholy, which doth not appear to fleshly eyes, how speedily would they turn? |
| A27048 | Did they not lie as thou dost, and die as thou must, and pass by death to the life which they have now attained? |
| A27048 | Didst thou pray for that which thou wouldst not have? |
| A27048 | Do they privily lay snares for me, and watch my halting, and seek advantage against my name, and liberty and life? |
| A27048 | Do they seem so hard and grievous to thee, that thou wilt venture thy soul in thy state of sin, rather then accept of them? |
| A27048 | Do you dislike the sins of the Professors af Godliness? |
| A27048 | Do you know how near you are to judgement, and will you fearlesly thus heap up wrath, and lay in fewell for the everlasting flames? |
| A27048 | Do you love l ● fe, or do you not? |
| A27048 | Do you think they would wish themselves again on earth? |
| A27048 | Dost thou fear the dreadfull: face of death? |
| A27048 | Dost thou know what thy Brethren are now enjoying,& what the Heavenly Host are doing? |
| A27048 | Dost thou not hate it, and set thy self against it as thy enemy? |
| A27048 | Dost thou not know that all his children have their frowardness, and are guilty of their unkindnesses to him? |
| A27048 | Had you not far rather be thus changed then abide on earth? |
| A27048 | Hadst thou rather have liberty to commit it, or be delivered from it? |
| A27048 | Hadst thou rather travail with us, then dwell with us? |
| A27048 | Hast thou laboured for it, and denyed thy self the pleasures of the world for it? |
| A27048 | Hast thou not found him kind when thou wast unkind, and that he thought on thee when thou didst not think on him? |
| A27048 | Hath he conquered death for himself alone, and not for us? |
| A27048 | Hath he not broken the heart of thy pride and worldliness, and sensuality and made thee a new creature? |
| A27048 | Hath he taken our Nature into Heaven, to be there alone and will he not have all his members with him? |
| A27048 | He was found of thee,( or rather found thee) when thou soughtest not after him: and can be reject thee now thou criest and callest for his grace? |
| A27048 | How carefull are we to keep in these lamps, and to maintain the oyl? |
| A27048 | How dealt he with the Disciples, that fell asleep, when they should have watcht with Christ in the night of his great agony? |
| A27048 | How earnestly should we pray? |
| A27048 | How grievous is it to us that we can love him no more, nor be more assured of his love to us? |
| A27048 | How joyfully should we think and speak of Heaven? |
| A27048 | How joyfully will the soul& body meet, that were separated so long? |
| A27048 | How much the imitation of such examples would conduce to the sanctifying of families, is easie to be apprehended? |
| A27048 | How noble a creature doth it destroy? |
| A27048 | How readily would our Thoughts run out to Christ? |
| A27048 | How seriously should we meditate and conser of Heaven? |
| A27048 | How terrible is death to an earthly- minded man that had neglected his soul for a treasure here, which must then be dissipated in a moment? |
| A27048 | If it be a sin to crack our faith by some particular error, what is it to dash it all to pieces? |
| A27048 | If it be odious in your eyes, to deny some particular Ordinance of God, what is it to neglect or prophane them all? |
| A27048 | If not, why are you afraid of death? |
| A27048 | If so, I would know of thee, whether this be not from the spirit of Christ within thee? |
| A27048 | If so, be assured that it is not without Holiness, that thou choosest and preferrest Holiness? |
| A27048 | If thou hadst no sin, what use hadst thou of a Saviour? |
| A27048 | If thou say that it is not his unkindness, but thy own that feeds thy doubts; I further ask thee, Is he not kind to the unkind? |
| A27048 | If you ask, How is all this to be ascribed to Christ? |
| A27048 | If you do, why then are you loth to pass into everlasting life? |
| A27048 | Indeed we may say, O Death, where is thy sting? |
| A27048 | Is it Christ that your heart is thus averse to, or is it only Death that standeth in the way? |
| A27048 | Is it God and heaven, or is it Death? |
| A27048 | Is it not for Christ and his benefits that thy heart thus worketh, and thou dost all this? |
| A27048 | Is it nothing to be dead in sins and trespasses? |
| A27048 | Is it seemly for thee to lament thus at the door, when they are feasted with such unconceivable joys within? |
| A27048 | Is not all this grievous to an honest heart? |
| A27048 | Is not this the case of many among you? |
| A27048 | Is the presence of Christ less desirable in thy eyes, then the presence of such sinfull worms as we, whom thou art loth to part with? |
| A27048 | Is there a gracious soul, that groaneth not under the burden of these miseries? |
| A27048 | Is there no remedy? |
| A27048 | Is this a time to fear and mourn, when thou art entring into endless joy? |
| A27048 | It is hard to win their hearts to such a state of Hap ● in ● ss, that can not be obtained but by yielding unto death? |
| A27048 | Moreover art thou not truly willing to yield to all the terms of grace? |
| A27048 | Must not your Teacher say, He sent to you, and was willing to have done his part, and you refused? |
| A27048 | Must there a place be empty, and a voice be wanting in the Heavenly Chore, lest we should miss our friends on earth? |
| A27048 | Must thy tender flesh be turned t ● rotness and dust? |
| A27048 | Must we let them go? |
| A27048 | Nay what a treasure of everlasting consequence, do these two words express? |
| A27048 | Now if we will vigorously appear for God, against a sinfull generation, how many will appear against us? |
| A27048 | O Sirs, do you know what you are doing? |
| A27048 | O grave where is thy Victory? |
| A27048 | O grave, where is thy victory? |
| A27048 | O what a brutish thing is flesh? |
| A27048 | O what should we do for the saving of careless, senseless souls? |
| A27048 | Once thou wast a despiser of God and his holy wayes: but now it is far otherwise with thee? |
| A27048 | Or dost thou not love their names, and wouldst thou not be with them? |
| A27048 | Our thoughts of it would be still sweet, and these would be a powerfull Spring to action? |
| A27048 | Shall the face of death discourage us from desiring such a bessed day? |
| A27048 | Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? |
| A27048 | Shall we believe, and fly from the end of our belief? |
| A27048 | Shall we desire and pray, and be afraid of attaining our desires, and lest our prayers should be heard? |
| A27048 | Shall we hope, and be loth to enjoy our hopes? |
| A27048 | Shall we spend our lives in labour and travail, and be affraid of coming to our journeys end? |
| A27048 | She was very Exemplary in self- denyal and humility: And having said this much, what abundance have I comprehended? |
| A27048 | Suppose that I, and such as I, were the friends that thou art loth to leave: What if we had dyed long before thee? |
| A27048 | Take heed lest Christ say,[ I have lent them my messengers long enough in vain; From henceforth never fruit grow on them? |
| A27048 | Tell me plainly, hadst thou rather keep thy sin, or leave it? |
| A27048 | The Lord doth gently question with him[ Dost thou well to be angry?] |
| A27048 | The deterred, discouraged soul moves slowly in the way of life: Whereas if Death were not in our way, how chearfully should we run towards Heaven? |
| A27048 | Then where is the man that will stand forth and break a jest at godliness, or make a scorn of the holy diligence of believers? |
| A27048 | They were once on earth as low as we: and we shall be shortly in heaven, as high as they: Am I now in flesh, in fears, in griefs? |
| A27048 | We should long so earnestly to be in Heaven, if Death were not in the way, that nothing could easily stop us in our course? |
| A27048 | What a bondage is it, that our souls are so entangled with the creatures? |
| A27048 | What a multitude of the most haynous sins are daily committed through the fears of death? |
| A27048 | What a word of Hope and Joy is this, that[ Christ is risen?] |
| A27048 | What an unreasonable thing is unbelief? |
| A27048 | What an unspeakable comfort would this be to a dying man? |
| A27048 | What else is Death but the ending of our Time? |
| A27048 | What if the patient understand not how blood letting cureth the infected blood that is left behind? |
| A27048 | What is it that is ungrateful to you in your meditations of your change? |
| A27048 | What saith thy heart now to those terms? |
| A27048 | What suffering then can be so great, in which a believer should not rejoyce, when he is before hand promised a gracious end? |
| A27048 | What then wilt thou think of all these disquieting distrustfull thoughts that now so wrong thy Lord and thee? |
| A27048 | What though at the present it be not joyous, but grievous( in it self?) |
| A27048 | What was it that rejoyced thee all thy life, in thy prayers, and sufferings, and labours? |
| A27048 | What way so ● owl that we would not travail, to our beloved home? |
| A27048 | What? |
| A27048 | When we have so full assurance, that at last this enemy also shall be destroyed? |
| A27048 | Where there is one on earth, how many are there in Heaven? |
| A27048 | Who is so mad as wilfully to sin with Death in his eye? |
| A27048 | Who then is the wise and knowing man amongst you? |
| A27048 | Who would not be spit upon, and made the scorn of the world for a day, if he might have his will for it as long as he liveth on earth? |
| A27048 | Who would not enter willingly into the fight, when he may before hand be assured, that the field shall be cleared of every enemy? |
| A27048 | Who would not submit to any labour or toyl for a day, that he might win a life of plenty and delight by it? |
| A27048 | Why dost thou doubt( poor humbled soul) of thy interest in Christ, that must make the conquest? |
| A27048 | Why then art thou not as loth to stay from them? |
| A27048 | Why thus it was once with the millions that are now triumphing with their Lord? |
| A27048 | Will thy Physitian therefore cast thee off, because thou art sick? |
| A27048 | Would it not rejoyce your hearts, if you were sure to live, to see the coming of the Lord, and to see his glorious appearing and retinue? |
| A27048 | Wouldst thou have our company? |
| A27048 | Wy shouldst thou be afraid to go the way that all the Saints have gone before thee? |
| A27048 | Yea hath not Christ already subdued so many of thy enemies, as may assure thee he will subdue the rest? |
| A27048 | and be not his Image it self upon thee? |
| A27048 | and begun that life in thee, which may assure thee of eternal life? |
| A27048 | and canst thou think it seemly to be so unlike them, that art passing to them? |
| A27048 | and is not this a pledge that he will do the rest? |
| A27048 | and must thou lie in darkness till the Resurrection, and thy body remain as the Common earth? |
| A27048 | and now art thou afraid to enter in? |
| A27048 | and part with any thing to attain it? |
| A27048 | and rather here suffer with us then reign in heaven with Christ and us? |
| A27048 | and shall thy approaches to it be thy sorrows? |
| A27048 | and shall we grudge that they are gone a day, or week, or year before us? |
| A27048 | and should we not be so far weary of such a life as this, as to be willing to depart and be with Christ? |
| A27048 | and so detained from the love of God? |
| A27048 | and that he that hath not the Spirit of Christ is none of his? |
| A27048 | and that his blood and grace is sufficient to save thee, from greater sins then those that trouble thee? |
| A27048 | and that no man can be saved except he be converted and born again? |
| A27048 | and that thou shouldst cast away the joy of the Lord which is thy strength, and gratifie the enemy of thy peace? |
| A27048 | and that you must first seek the Kingdom of God and his Righteousness? |

| A27048 | and will he now forget thee, and end in wrath that begun in Love? |
| A27048 | and wouldst thou not be thus perfected in soul and body? |
| A27048 | and yet had we rather dwell with sin, in tempting, troubling, corruptible flesh, then lay them by, and dwell with Christ? |

| A27048 | how full they are of God, and how they are ravished with his Light and Love? |
| A27048 | how seriously would they meditate? |
| A27048 | must he therefore plead against his Physitian, and say, It will not be done, because he knoweth not how it s done? |
| A27048 | or is it only because you fear lest you have no interest in his Love, and shall not attain the blessedness which you desire? |

| A26982 | And did any Man doubt of it, that then lived with his Reason awake? |
| A26982 | And do not many Bishops now blame the Laws? |
| A26982 | And for that which he mischievously would overthrow? |
| A26982 | And for what?) |
| A26982 | And how few scruple receiving and reporting them,& how fewer rebuke them? |
| A26982 | And how little would it cost them yet to prevent the Continuance of it? |
| A26982 | And how many Souls converted and confirmed by them? |
| A26982 | And how? |
| A26982 | And if Christ made Christians no better than the Philosophers, how could I think better of him, than of them? |
| A26982 | And if a Protestant did Hang this Man himself, would he take it for Popery or Sin, to consent that a Papist cut the Rope? |
| A26982 | And if neither Reasoning nor Petitioning them might be used, what were we Commissioned for? |
| A26982 | And indeed is both Damnation and the renewing of our Troubles and Divisions a matter of jest? |
| A26982 | And is any Name more tenderly to be used than Gods? |
| A26982 | And is governing a Family, or my self, governing all the World? |
| A26982 | And is governing a Parish- Church under an Archbishop, the governing of many hundred Parishes that are no Churches, but parts of a Diocesan Church? |
| A26982 | And is it Mercy to drive Men to Sin and Hell, or a crime to beg for so cheap Mercy for the Souls of Men, even of Bishops? |
| A26982 | And is it a Crime to be against a scandalous, insufficient Ministry, and a Duty to be for them, that we may be the best Church in the World? |
| A26982 | And is it a Crime to honour God, and his Works? |
| A26982 | And is it not as bad to resist Christian Emperors, as Heathens? |
| A26982 | And is that a Justification against Perjury, to them that own not the Imposing or Taking it, nor obligation to keep any but the Moral Necessary parts? |
| A26982 | And may he not say the like by any Man that doth good? |
| A26982 | And must I become a Voucher for Thousands whom I never knew? |
| A26982 | And must the Land so tamely be perjured and enslaved? |
| A26982 | And must they rise against them and not kill them? |
| A26982 | And must we go on such suppositions that our Law- makers must not be said to make sinful Laws? |
| A26982 | And so all our Parliaments till the Dividing and Tearing Long one, were not of the Church of England: And what then was that Church? |
| A26982 | And that I know what it was naturally impossible for me not to know? |
| A26982 | And that all that are to be judged by the chief Judicature, shall Fight to Conquer them, if the King do but bid them? |
| A26982 | And the French Edicts against the Protestants? |
| A26982 | And was Archbishop Usher such a Robber of himself, and all the Bishops? |
| A26982 | And was I perjured for refusing Perjury? |
| A26982 | And was not the Murderous temper and use of the Irish well known? |
| A26982 | And what Man hath a louder Call to Repent from God and Man than I my Self? |
| A26982 | And what am I, that I should swear or say that I am wiser than all these Doctors, and sure that they are mistaken? |
| A26982 | And what an odious state is such a governed Kingdom in? |
| A26982 | And what harm is that? |
| A26982 | And what is that to me, that constantly used it? |
| A26982 | And where Repentance, and Persuading Men to repent, goeth for the most intolerable Evil? |
| A26982 | And who may not see that the use of it was prescribed in the Directory? |
| A26982 | Arcadius, Zeno, Basiliscus, Anastasius, and many such, Heathen Persecutors? |
| A26982 | Are my Betters better than Peter and the Apostles, that were for obeying God before Men? |
| A26982 | Are not above Sixty Books of Sectaries written( more or less) against me; an evidence to prove that they take me not for their Champion? |
| A26982 | Are they for Episcopacy that put down hundreds, to set up one in their stead? |
| A26982 | Are they so much better Men than the Nonconformists? |
| A26982 | Are they so much lower than the Bishops? |
| A26982 | Art thou come to torment us before the time? |
| A26982 | At least the French and Dutch? |
| A26982 | But alas how far are Leeches from feeling the smart of the Persons whose Blood they feast upon? |
| A26982 | But am I Episcopal, and yet the greatest Enemy to Episcopacy? |
| A26982 | But can we not, even among Conformists, distinguish the Malicious, Ungodly, Worldly, from holy Men of Love and Peace? |
| A26982 | But did I make those words? |
| A26982 | But had he no pretence for this notorious Lie against the Secluded Members? |
| A26982 | But have you known me better than I have known my self? |
| A26982 | But if no such liberty was intended to be continued( which I easily foresaw) why should I be a Bishop to be quickly cast out? |
| A26982 | But if you are guilty, is not that more to be feared by you, than our saying why we dare not imitate you? |
| A26982 | But methinks I hear the Legion that are his Army who was a Liar and Murderer from the beginning, say, What have we to do with thee? |
| A26982 | But must I tell this Man, how I got the Money that did it? |
| A26982 | But this Accuser saith, that he will not believe Mr. Stanley( as he calls him) or me:( But must we therefore both disbelieve our own Ears?) |
| A26982 | But what is the deadly evil? |
| A26982 | But what is the fault that deserveth burning? |
| A26982 | But who in the beginning fore- knows the end? |
| A26982 | But why then do not these Men love and cherish me, while they are striving for a Foreign Jurisdiction, if I be so much for them? |
| A26982 | By what? |
| A26982 | Can we chuse but know that which every Corner in all the Land did speak? |
| A26982 | Dare you ask leave to sin again and again, when the pardon of every sin, is the pardon of the punishment in Hell Fire? |
| A26982 | David saith, Shall the Throne of Iniquity have Fellowship with thee that frameth mischief by a Law? |
| A26982 | Did Meditating broach a Book that was not published nor written till thirty years after? |
| A26982 | Did he know my Heart, that I did it for Reputation? |
| A26982 | Did he motion any thing but the Primitive Episcopacy, with the edditions of their large Diocess, Wealth and Honour? |
| A26982 | Do their Lives shew it? |
| A26982 | Do you think that I can remember all that I have written before mens Books? |
| A26982 | Doth God require us to mourn and cry for the common evils, if we will escape our selves? |
| A26982 | Doth Scripture use Hellish Language, in calling wicked Rulers GODS? |
| A26982 | Doth credible fame speak it? |
| A26982 | Doth he say a word so much as to deny his Letter to the Pope, to venture Crown and all for Union? |
| A26982 | Doth he say a word to confute all this? |
| A26982 | Doth not Conformity renounce and forswear this? |
| A26982 | Doth not this Man more disgrace his Church than me, that taketh it for the poyson of Asps to cast out only the uncapable, and keep in the rest? |
| A26982 | Go ye cursed,& c. What enmity to the Church is it to complain of such Men? |
| A26982 | Have I not fully proved it? |
| A26982 | Have not the Divisions been these thirty years a trouble to this Land, which these Men might have prevented and cost them nothing? |
| A26982 | He asketh, How know you but your Master certified of you? |
| A26982 | He querieth, Did not your Master Examine you? |
| A26982 | How came I to escape till now my self? |
| A26982 | How can a Man be n nocent before such impudent Accusers and Judges? |
| A26982 | How contrary is it to Thankfulness and Ingenuity, to wish to be spared in Impenitency, after the purchase and tenders of so great Mercy? |
| A26982 | How easily ▪ by such Fictions, may he turn much of the Gospel into Blasphemies? |
| A26982 | How foolish, and how wicked? |
| A26982 | How impossible is that? |
| A26982 | How know I what odd or secret Act of any particular Persons this Man might know of? |
| A26982 | How large is Hooker for the Popular Legislative Power; and that the King useth not Power, but Usurpation, when he useth more than the Law giveth him? |
| A26982 | How large is bishop Bilson for Resisting the King in divers Cases? |
| A26982 | How many German Divines blamed the Interim imposed by the Emperor as for Peace? |
| A26982 | How many Lies for one Truth is carried for News, or for Slander about the Streets? |
| A26982 | How many excellent Preachers hath God raised by this Way, which he would have hinder''d by severe Penalties? |
| A26982 | How pregnant is malice of falshood? |
| A26982 | I have his Testimony to the contrary: He sent D. Lauderdale to me purposely to invite me to receive the Testification of his Favour and Acceptance? |
| A26982 | I have written against the Pope too: And is not that as bad? |
| A26982 | If King James Commission a French and Irish Army to Invade England, are all bound not to resist them? |
| A26982 | If each Man, sure England had not Diocesses enough for so many Thousands: If all, as an Aristocracy, could they desire more than Convocations have? |
| A26982 | If it were good, why is it a Scandalum magnatum to say you did it? |
| A26982 | If it were not good, why did they do it, and why do you justifie it? |
| A26982 | Is Repentance for feeling and bewailing all this, so great a duty, as you suppose? |
| A26982 | Is an Attempt of voluntary Concord and Peace the poyson of Asps? |
| A26982 | Is it Integrally perfect: Or must I wish it burnt else? |
| A26982 | Is it a wrong to Princes that Beelzebub is called The Prince of the Devils, and the Prince that Ruleth in the Air? |
| A26982 | Is it like that I was against the pious Conformists, when I was tutored by them, heard them, and was of their Judgment? |
| A26982 | Is not a General Prayer for them enough? |
| A26982 | Is silencing, ruining, and keeping in Goals all that own not so much of your Infallibility, the Means to avoid Confusions? |
| A26982 | Is there any thing pious or charitable, that these Men can not turn into odious Crimes, by malignant Calumny? |
| A26982 | Is this so poysonous? |
| A26982 | Is this the Credit of our Church History? |
| A26982 | Is your Merit and Praise a Scandal? |
| A26982 | May not a Man disown such shameless Liars as some Ministers are, without disowning the Ministry? |
| A26982 | Must I repent of that? |
| A26982 | Must I, or may I therefore Repent of all that men of divers Minds call me to Repent of? |
| A26982 | Must the Rulers themselves be Judges, or every Subject for himself? |
| A26982 | Must we be brought under Aristocratical Popery, or French Church- Government, merely by saying It is not Popery? |
| A26982 | Must we not refuse Perjury, for fear of your supposition that we accuse you? |
| A26982 | O how hard is it to be impartial? |
| A26982 | O how much more of such work have some to answer for? |
| A26982 | Or did he know me better, who I suppose never spake with me, but hath lived two hundred( and lately and hundred) Miles from me? |
| A26982 | Or is he displeased that I gathered not a separated Church? |
| A26982 | Or is not the poyson of Asps under their lips, that are haters of it, and have not known the way of peace? |
| A26982 | Or of disliking such Churchmen? |
| A26982 | Or than Paul, that charged Timothy so dreadfully, as before God and Christ, to preach the Word, and be instant, in Season, and out of Season? |
| A26982 | Or that he set up such Bishops as Laud, Bromhall, and others? |
| A26982 | Or to deny his sworn Articles for Toleration, mentioned in Rushworth''s Collections, and others? |
| A26982 | Or to deny the Papists Murders in Ireland, and their power in the King''s Armies in England? |
| A26982 | Or trust that Physician that cureth none? |
| A26982 | Particularly: Who is there among the Living that entertained more early Prejudices against the Bishops?] |
| A26982 | Read the rest; who would think but that he foresaw King Charles Reign, and our calamitous Wars in the Death of Prince Henry? |
| A26982 | Reader; Oh, Who governeth that part of the World, where the greater the Sin is, the more heinous is his Crime that blameth it? |
| A26982 | Saith he,[ Doth not the Reader blush for Mr. B. to read such arrogant Censures of a dying Man, concerning his Betters?] |
| A26982 | Shall every Minister that preacheth occasionally for him, presume to Congregate his Flock, and give them the Sacrament? |
| A26982 | That I never wrote a word to justifie his Death; but only once told the Papists that they were unmeet Accusers, as being guilty of more? |
| A26982 | That think he heinously injureth them that sheweth them by the clearest light of Evidence, that they need Repentance? |
| A26982 | The Archbishop of York Williams was one of them, and was not he for Episcopacy? |
| A26982 | They rejected this Reviling Petition: And hath England or Hell gained more by their rejection? |
| A26982 | This Man is for Moderation: Do you think he or I is more for Popery, or hath written more against it? |
| A26982 | To spend his Life against his own Affections? |
| A26982 | To the King? |
| A26982 | To whom? |
| A26982 | Uneasie? |
| A26982 | V. Who hath said more to justifie, not the War only, but the Death of the Royal Martyr?] |
| A26982 | Was he that hated them, more oft in their Churches than I? |
| A26982 | Was it Faction to offer to teach freely in a Parish, where were Fifty Thousand that could not come within the Church? |
| A26982 | Was it Sedition for Religious people to go hear a Conformable Preacher at the next Parish, when they had no Preaching at Home? |
| A26982 | Was it Sedition to refuse the false Et caetera Oath of 1640? |
| A26982 | Was it Sedition to say that other Societies in England were true Churches besides the Episcopal Churches? |
| A26982 | Was it a Christian Kingdom, and yet was the Kingdom Representative no part of it? |
| A26982 | Was it no Persecution to be Excommunicate ipso facto by Canons 6, 7, 8,& c. without being admonished or heard? |
| A26982 | Was it the Presbyterians bringing home the King, who they doubted not would set up the revengeful Clergy? |
| A26982 | Was it to be Diocesans, to rule a Diocess as the smallest Church that had none under it? |
| A26982 | Was this a Crime? |
| A26982 | Were I at his Ear I would whisper to him, Do you not take the New Testament it self to be far worse? |
| A26982 | Were New England and Barmudas planted without any Persecution? |
| A26982 | Were all the Thousands guilty of the Wars, that were Children or School- boys? |
| A26982 | Were not the Military Clergy Men of Blood who complain of the Parliament for ejecting them, for promoting the War against them? |
| A26982 | Were the many thousand Families that were put to fly the Land to Holland and America punished for nothing but Sedition? |
| A26982 | What Answer do these Men deserve? |
| A26982 | What Duty so great, that some will not say is a Crime that deserveth death? |
| A26982 | What Historical Proof can convince this sort of Men? |
| A26982 | What Hypocrisie is it to shoot at the King and say you fight for him? |
| A26982 | What Law is it but the Gospel or Law of Grace that giveth pardon on such gentle terms? |
| A26982 | What a Reproach is this to such a Church? |
| A26982 | What abundance of false Doctrines and Censures doth ignorant Sectarian Zeal foment? |
| A26982 | What doth the Man mean by rendering this odious? |
| A26982 | What is Repentance but the actual healing of a sinful Soul? |
| A26982 | What was the power that they would have taken to themselves? |
| A26982 | What were the present Endeavours to reduce you to the like? |
| A26982 | What would it do but equal Devils and Men, to save the Impenitent? |
| A26982 | What would you think of such terms of pardon offered by Man, in his lesser injuries? |
| A26982 | Whence then did this Man find matter or occasion for such a shameless forgery? |
| A26982 | Where and in what Ages doth this Principle hold? |
| A26982 | Who by refusing a Bishoprick, and other Emoluments, have lost, I think, above Twenty Thousand Pounds by Nonconformity? |
| A26982 | Who can escape the charge of Rebellion from such Accusers? |
| A26982 | Who could have forethought that all those doleful Events would follow, which make up Whitlock''s impartial Memorials? |
| A26982 | Who ever boasted of drawing thousands to that War?] |
| A26982 | Who is to be Judge whether their Rulers be so bad, as that the Bishops and People may disobey them? |
| A26982 | Who more opposed the Return of our present Soveraign?] |
| A26982 | Why I say with Paul, That if an Angel from Heaven preach another Gospel let him be accursed? |
| A26982 | Why did he not venture to Name better than they put down? |
| A26982 | Why did you not name the Book which I prefaced, that I might examine it? |
| A26982 | Why doth he not also make me a Liar for saying that I then dwelt in England; and both sides were English Men, and spake English? |
| A26982 | Why is not that Book answered to this day, when so many Nonconformists have Challenged, Called and Beg''d for an Answer to it? |
| A26982 | Why then did they consent if they were unwilling? |
| A26982 | Why were not the Eight Thousand that after conformed, guilty of those Confusions as much as the rest? |
| A26982 | Will a Lying Scorn satisfie any Conscionable Nonconformist? |
| A26982 | Would each Man have had this Diocesan Power, or only all, as one Political Body? |
| A26982 | Would he not have them used like Men? |
| A26982 | Would the King have made such an Enemy his Chaplain and a Bishop? |
| A26982 | Would this be a Character of the best Church in the World, to have such Ministers? |
| A26982 | Would we destroy that which we desired? |
| A26982 | Would you have me confess all that he falsly accuseth me of? |
| A26982 | Yet how is Hooker extolled by them? |
| A26982 | You see what kind of crimes we Nonconformists are guilty of: A willingness to live out of Goals, against the Churchmens will? |
| A26982 | [ Or who hath or can do more than Mr. B. to renew all our troubles and confusions?] |
| A26982 | [ With what Heart could he be an Eye- witness of the Inhumane Butcheries that had been made in almost every Fight from the beginning of the Wars? |
| A26982 | and is committing it and preaching it up, a virtue not to be repented of? |
| A26982 | nor suffered to live? |
| A26982 | or so indifferent, as that it is threatening and reviling humbly to petition Drs to take heed of them? |
| A26982 | what abundance of false accusations doth Envy and Malice vend? |
| A27065 | 11. and saith, he is full of their burnt- offerings, and delights not in them? |
| A27065 | 14, 15,& c. Or if they despise or hate the Discipline, Ordinances and Holy Communion of the Church? |
| A27065 | 5. Who ever hardened himself against him, and hath prospered? |
| A27065 | 8, 9[ For what is the hope of the Hypocrite though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul? |
| A27065 | And as James saith( as aforecited)[ Do not the rich oppress you, and draw you before the judgement seats? |
| A27065 | And do you not grosly play the Hypocrites here? |
| A27065 | And do you so indeed, or do you not play the Hypocrites? |
| A27065 | And hath not Satan instruments and tongues enough of his own, but he must use those that are Christs against himself? |
| A27065 | And here let me set before you your Profession, and then try your selves, Whether you are such as you profess your selves to be or not? |
| A27065 | And how comes it to pass that you distaste the highest degrees of holiness? |
| A27065 | And how dost thou cross thine own intentions? |
| A27065 | And how few of these Dives''es do think the damning sin of flesh- pleasing to be any sin in them at all? |
| A27065 | And if another hurt thee, in the heel, wilt thou therefore stab thy self to the heart? |
| A27065 | And if they live in Communion with drunkards, with harlots, with worldlings, or sensual, vain, or ambitious men, and fly from the Communion of Saints? |
| A27065 | And if this mirth could alwaies last, how happy a man were the self- deceiver? |
| A27065 | And in all this sin and misery how senseless and secure are these prosperous fools? |
| A27065 | And is it thus with you, that have unhumbled hearts, that never felt the need of Christ, as condemned miserable men must do? |
| A27065 | And is reproach and evil- speaking the fruit or evidence of such love? |
| A27065 | And really is it thus with you, as you profess? |
| A27065 | And that hath no hurt but what shall certainly procure his good? |
| A27065 | And what is the meaning of this much of your profession? |
| A27065 | And which way then wilt thou look for help? |
| A27065 | And why are you not now of the mind that you will be at death or judgement, but that your solly doth turn your prosperity to your bane? |
| A27065 | And will you think so strange of smaller matters, as to think they excuse your impatience, and evil speeches? |
| A27065 | And, alas, what a pittiful reward is it, to be thought well of, and applauded by the tongues of mortal men? |
| A27065 | Are there not tongues enough sharpened against us in the world, but we must wound each other with our own? |
| A27065 | Are they great? |
| A27065 | Are you used worse then Christ was used? |
| A27065 | Art thou ever the better when death awaketh thee, and thy confident dream is at an end? |
| A27065 | Art thou he that troubleth Israel? |
| A27065 | As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord; how strange and precise a course would it seem to them? |
| A27065 | As if it would prove that a man is sound, because he dwelleth with them that are so? |
| A27065 | Bethink you well whether Christ and his Apostles lived not a more comfortable life then you? |
| A27065 | But I suppose you will here say, Is it not lawful to call a spade a spade? |
| A27065 | But do I need to tell the worldly fleshly Hypocrite how far he is from this? |
| A27065 | But do you live as men that believe indeed, that they are passing unto such a judgement? |
| A27065 | But do you not play the Hypocrites? |
| A27065 | But doth Christ encourage their destroying zeal? |
| A27065 | But doth he deceive thee, if he give thee not the salvation which he never promised thee? |
| A27065 | But how should it be done? |
| A27065 | But is it not folly that goes under the name of wisedom? |
| A27065 | But must we stay so long? |
| A27065 | But where did he ever promise salvation to a superficial Pharisee? |
| A27065 | But who will spend words on such impious absurdities? |
| A27065 | Can any thing prove him truly wise that directly contradicteth the wisdom of the Lord? |
| A27065 | Can any thing prove that man to be wise, that is not wise enough to be saved? |
| A27065 | Can flags there flourish where no waters flow? |
| A27065 | Can not you endure to hear and consider of these things? |
| A27065 | Dare any of you say and stand to it, that there is not greater matter for joy in the love of Christ, then in the love of a harlot? |
| A27065 | Did you lovingly first admonish them, and impartially hear what they can say for themselves? |
| A27065 | Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgement- seats? |
| A27065 | Do these seem strange matters to you? |
| A27065 | Do they not blaspheme that worthy name by which you are called? |
| A27065 | Do they not blaspheme that worthy name by which you are called?] |
| A27065 | Do you find it as easie to be meek and patient, and forgive a wrong, and love an enemy? |
| A27065 | Do you first and principally desire the hallowing of Gods name, the coming of his Kingdom, and the doing of his will?] |
| A27065 | Do you go about to tell him of the necessity of the fear of God, and of loving him above all, and of trusting him, and serving him as our only Lord? |
| A27065 | Do you indeed Love God as God? |
| A27065 | Do you make it your principal care to please him? |
| A27065 | Do you not all profess that you believe in Jesus Christ? |
| A27065 | Do you not all profess to believe in the Holy Ghost? |
| A27065 | Do you not all say that you Believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and earth, and that you will have no other gods but him? |
| A27065 | Do you not know as much by your selves as you have to reproach your brother with? |
| A27065 | Do you not then invite both God and man to take you at the worst, and use you as you use your brother? |
| A27065 | Do you put him upon the inward practice of Religion, and the fuller devoting of his soul to God, and the life of faith, and a heavenly mind? |
| A27065 | Do you tell him of hell fire, and of the wrath of God against the ungodly? |
| A27065 | Do you tell him of hypocrisie? |
| A27065 | Doth it grieve you most to offend him? |
| A27065 | For the time to come, will you but try a serious holy life before you speak against it any more? |
| A27065 | For what good can it do him, that another hears him evil spoken of? |
| A27065 | Have you not enemies enough to do the work of enemies, but friends must do it? |
| A27065 | Have you not load enough from the world? |
| A27065 | He asketh such, To what purpose is the multitude of their sacrifices? |
| A27065 | He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure,] Or, Can bull- rushes but by the rivers grow? |
| A27065 | He will save to the utmost: but whom? |
| A27065 | How Vain is that hope that will vanish when the enjoyment is expected, and will end in endless desperation? |
| A27065 | How can they love him with all their hearts, that have let out those hearts to vanity before? |
| A27065 | How easie a thing is it to bring an ungodly man to be of a Religion that consisteth in such things as these? |
| A27065 | How few, were ever the more holy by applause? |
| A27065 | How little are they annoyed, or their joy or melody interrupted, by all the race of earth or hell? |
| A27065 | How oft have we told God in our prayers, that we had rather have the light of his countenance in adversity, then be strange to him in prosperity? |
| A27065 | How ready is Herod to gratifie a wanton dancer with a Prophets head? |
| A27065 | How saie and quiet are those millions of souls, that are now with Christ? |
| A27065 | How then will you endure to feel them? |
| A27065 | How wonderful hard is it to convince them of their misery? |
| A27065 | If all such must be defamed, how infamous will you be? |
| A27065 | If another be bad, wilt thou become so by unjust defaming him? |
| A27065 | If another suffered as you do, and you were advanced as another is, would you not speak more mildly then? |
| A27065 | If it be Hypocrisie or other vice that you so hate; why do you not hate them in your selves? |
| A27065 | If not, how comes it to pass that you stick in your natural state, as if you had no need of sanctification? |
| A27065 | If now thou wilt hope under the threatenings of God( that thou mayst be saved in thy present state) wilt thou then hope under his execution? |
| A27065 | If you are your selves believers, go into the Sanctuary, and ask the Scriptures what will be their end? |
| A27065 | If you say, How are they safe that are so tossed by sufferings? |
| A27065 | If you thus truly love him as God;( and above all) how comes it to pass that you seek the world more carefully, and eagerly then him? |
| A27065 | In the use of the Lords prayer, what word do you speak that is not in hypocrisie? |
| A27065 | In their entertainments, visitations, and converse, how rare is serious holy confere ● ce among them? |
| A27065 | Is he not safe that hath the promise of God for his security, and is related to him as his child, and hath Christ for his Head and Saviour? |
| A27065 | Is he not safe that is delivered from the wrath of God, and the flames of hell, and dare look before him to eternity with hope and comfort? |
| A27065 | Is he wise that preferreth a feather to a Kingdom? |
| A27065 | Is it I? |
| A27065 | Is it not shame and pitty, that the followers of Christ should imitate the Devil, and ungodly men, as by detraction and reviling words they do? |
| A27065 | Is it sweeter to you to think and speak of him, then of the world? |
| A27065 | Is it to do him hurt, or good? |
| A27065 | Is it wisdom to esteem men by their prosperity and pomp? |
| A27065 | Is it your delight to do his will? |
| A27065 | Is not God severe enough? |
| A27065 | Is not a wo against them that call evil good? |
| A27065 | Is not this Hypocrisie? |
| A27065 | Is the condemned man wiser that makes friends for a pardon? |
| A27065 | It is better to go to the house of mourning, then to the house of feasting;( do you believe this?) |
| A27065 | Judge now by the success, as it is discovered in the Scriptures, what good prosperity doth to fools? |
| A27065 | Lastly, you pretend also to sincere obedience: If we ask you, whether you are willing to obey God? |
| A27065 | Like condemned Traytors, that should say to him that ● ● ● ngeth them a pardon[ Who 〈 ◊ 〉 you authority to make so 〈 … 〉 me?] |
| A27065 | Nay why do you make such men your companions? |
| A27065 | Nor any, but what he may rejoyce in: and is sure shall be the matter of his thanks when it is past? |
| A27065 | O that I had lain in medicinal poverty and rags, when I took this mortal surfeit of prosperity? |
| A27065 | O that we could do it? |
| A27065 | One would think it should be the easiest matter in the world, for such as you to know that you are ungodly, that hate godliness and oppose it? |
| A27065 | Or as if it would prove a man rich or honourable, that he converseth with such? |
| A27065 | Or else that you take up with a Formal, an affected, or a forced kind of Religion, in stead of Sanctification and spiritual devotion? |
| A27065 | Or from the depth of sorrows hear his cryes? |
| A27065 | Poor self- deceiver what wilt thou then do, or whither wilt thou betake thy soul for help? |
| A27065 | Then conscience will force the now befooled Dives to cry out,[ O that I had been the most despised man on earth, while honour did befool me? |
| A27065 | Then you say, who gave you authority to do thus and thus by me? |
| A27065 | This and no better being the self- deceivers case, is not conscience now at work within you? |
| A27065 | Thy flatterers and prosperity may cherish thy deceitful hopes for a time; but who will maintain them, when God commandeth desperation to torment thee? |
| A27065 | To conclude, you pretend to all that necessary to salvation; but have you that in reality which you pretend to? |
| A27065 | What can you say to excuse all this from palpable Hypocrisie? |
| A27065 | What can you say to such a man in order to his conversion, which his self- deceiving Religion will not frustrate? |
| A27065 | What families are worse ordered, and have less of serious piety then the rich? |
| A27065 | What hope hath the prevailing Hypocrite, When God shall chase his soul to endless night? |
| A27065 | What men do more carelesly cast away their precious time, then these Dives''es do? |
| A27065 | What men in the world do live so sensual a life as rich and prosperous worldlings live? |
| A27065 | What say you? |
| A27065 | What soul so sleepy and regardless now, that will not then cry,[ Lord, Lord open to us] when the door is shut, and it is too late? |
| A27065 | What tell you him of Repentance and Conversion? |
| A27065 | What''s this but to deceive your own hearts, and to mock your selves with a seeming vain and mock- repentance? |
| A27065 | When God hath no competitour, to whom else then canst thou turn thy thoughts? |
| A27065 | Where do you find less serious ● ure 〈 … 〉 salvation, then among the prosperous great ones of the world? |
| A27065 | Who then shall take us out of his hands? |
| A27065 | Why do you not hate as much the sins of the notoriously ungodly, who shew them without shame? |
| A27065 | Why is it that you speak of men that you know not? |
| A27065 | Why speak you not of their good as well as of the supposed evil? |
| A27065 | Why then dost thou hurt and shame thy self? |
| A27065 | Will God relieve him in his agonies? |
| A27065 | [ A ● ● thou made of the Kings counsel ● f ● rbear: why should''st thou be smitten? |
| A27065 | [ Are they sin? |
| A27065 | [ By what authority dost thou these things, and who gave thee this authority?] |
| A27065 | [ Can the rush grow up without mire? |
| A27065 | [ Have any of the Rulers or of the Pharises believed on him?] |
| A27065 | [ How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the Kingdom of God?] |
| A27065 | [ Knowest thou not this of old since man was placed upon earth, that the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the Hypocrite for a moment? |
| A27065 | [ Shall not God avenge his own elect, that cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? |
| A27065 | [ Who hath hardened himself against him and hath prospered?] |
| A27065 | [ Who made thee a Prince and a Judge over us?] |
| A27065 | [ Who then can be saved?] |
| A27065 | [ Who would set the bryers and thornes against me in battel? |

| A27065 | and are you not accordingly engaged in Covenant with him? |
| A27065 | and are you not engaged to him in Covenant as your Sanctifier? |
| A27065 | and by the noise, and business and pleasures of the world, to be diverted and hindered from the speedy setling and securing your everlasting state? |
| A27065 | and for the comforts of true- hearted holiness that now they hate? |
| A27065 | and have you not in Covenant taken him for your Saviour and Lord? |
| A27065 | and if he should not condemn such heartless Formalists, when he hath so often told us that he will condemn them? |
| A27065 | and if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? |
| A27065 | and live as quietly without any acquaintance with true Regeneration, and the Spirit to dwell and rule within you, as it you needed no such change? |
| A27065 | and of others that are innocent, for the sakes of those that you imagine to be guilty? |
| A27065 | and shall live with Christ in joy for ever? |
| A27065 | and that love the sin that he would cure, and are unwilling to be mortified and sanctified by his grace? |
| A27065 | and that you are more pleased with worldly thoughts and speeches and employments, then with divine? |
| A27065 | and that you will not be brought to the mortification, self- denyal, and unreserved obedience, which are the essence of sanctification? |
| A27065 | and valueth most the things that are most vilified by the doctrine and example of Christ and his Apostles? |
| A27065 | and vilifieth that which Christ extolleth? |
| A27065 | and whether this be the work that the God of heaven did send you about into the world? |
| A27065 | and why do you so greedily snatch at any matter of reproach, and take it by hearsay from the most ignorant, rash, or malicious mouths? |
| A27065 | and will it not be soon enough? |
| A27065 | and yet will you not confess that you are dissembling Hypocrites? |
| A27065 | are not they malicious? |
| A27065 | are you so hasty for so dreadful a revenge, can you not stay when the Judge is at the door? |
| A27065 | can the flag grow without water? |
| A27065 | can you talk so of the friends that are most dear to you, or that you love indeed? |
| A27065 | comest thou hither thus Controler- like, to prate and preach to us? |
| A27065 | did you never count what it must cost you to be saved? |
| A27065 | did you never read of forsaking all for Christ, if indeed you would be his Disciples? |
| A27065 | did you never read or hear the Gospel? |
| A27065 | earth to heaven? |
| A27065 | he will tell you that its the thing he hateth: who speaks against it more then he? |
| A27065 | how do our hearts rise against that man, that speaks reproachfully of our dearest friends? |
| A27065 | if not more passionately, yet more deeply, effectually and resolvedly; with a love that will cause you to deny and part with all for him? |
| A27065 | in reading, and meditating on the Word of God, in holy conference, and secret prayer, and instructing your families& c? |
| A27065 | in the assurance of salvation, then in lands and Lordships? |
| A27065 | is he not a Christian, a Protestant, a Religious man? |
| A27065 | may not a man speak of the hurtful crimes of others? |
| A27065 | more then hell? |
| A27065 | nor know the terms of Christ till now? |
| A27065 | or he that with unanswerable subtilty reasoneth against it, till the ladder be turned? |
| A27065 | or is that which is good made death to them? |
| A27065 | or to avert his sentence which must shortly pass on all that are impenitent? |
| A27065 | perhaps thou mayst: But when thou art burning, wilt thou hope? |
| A27065 | should that time be laught and plaid away, that hasteth so fast, and is all so short for so great a work, as the securing our salvation? |
| A27065 | speak but as men that dare not lye before the Lord that knows your hearts? |
| A27065 | that shall lose nothing but what he hath already forsaken, and esteemeth but as dross and dung? |
| A27065 | to such a seeming Christian as thou? |
| A27065 | what abundance of them are de ● d- hear ● ed, sensless, disregarders of everlasting things? |
| A27065 | what dost thou, when thou sayst[ I believe the Communion of Saints] but say[ I am a dissembling Hypocrite] if it he thus with thee? |
| A27065 | what harm dost thou fear by it? |
| A27065 | what is your end in speaking against your brother? |
| A27065 | what pitty is it to see them so eager for prosperity, and so regardless of the proper use and benefit of it? |
| A27065 | what sign of a man in so great danger, of eternal torment, unless it be that he little feareth it? |
| A27065 | what sign of his spiritual captivity and slavery, and of the load of sin that lyeth upon his soul, unless it be that he feels it not? |
| A27065 | what though thou sit here with so great hopes and confidence of salvation, as maketh thee even scorn the man that questions it? |
| A27065 | when they come to appear before him, he asketh them, Who required this at their hands, to tread in his Courts? |
| A27065 | when thou art dying, wilt thou hope? |
| A27065 | when thou art tormented, wilt thou hope? |
| A27065 | when you are far more tender of your own names then of Gods, and more regardful of your own honour? |
| A27065 | when you die by your wisdom; and have disputed your selves out of the reach of mercy, will you not bewail it then as folly? |
| A27065 | who shall condemn us? |
| A27065 | why are you not more in speaking well of what is well, then in speaking ill of what is ill? |
| A27065 | why do you willfully continue in those sins, which conscience tells you God forbids? |
| A27065 | why is it that you obey your fleshly desires, before and against the God whom you acknowledge? |
| A27065 | why live you so viciously, while you profess obedience to the Lord? |
| A27065 | why will you not be perswaded to that holiness, justice and charity which you know his Law commandeth you? |
| A27065 | will God hear his cry, when trouble cometh upon him?] |
| A27065 | will not his judgement be terrible enough? |
| A27065 | with your superlative love: Are your hearts set upon him? |
| A27065 | would you wish men to suffer more then he will inflict on the impenitent? |
| A27065 | would you wish us to be silent, and betray your souls, and damn our own, for fear of disquieting and displeasing you? |
| A27065 | 〈 … 〉 you will yet wink and hate the light, if you perish in your self- deceiving, who can help it? |
| A26917 | 24.5, 6. and which of the Prophets and Apostles did they not persecute? |
| A26917 | After all that is come upon us, should we again break thy Commandements, wouldst thou not be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us?] |
| A26917 | Ah thinks a poor Minister, What hopes had I once of these Professors; and are they come to this? |
| A26917 | Alas Sirs, if any deceivers come among us, how few of our people are able to withstand them, and defend the truth of God against them? |
| A26917 | Alas, how little hearty love is there to Christ in his Members, even in them that are confident they love the brethren? |
| A26917 | Alas, how much pride prevaileth with many that seem to go far in the way of Piety? |
| A26917 | And O what an insensible heart hath he that doth not understand the voice of all this wondrous mercy? |
| A26917 | And O who would not aspire after the highest measure of Holiness, in hope of a high degree of Glory? |
| A26917 | And can you think it is not somthing extraordinary that God must needs expect from you? |
| A26917 | And do you not know that if ever you be damned, it will be for loving the World too much, and God too little? |
| A26917 | And how apt is he to think almost as highly of the teaching of Aristotle, Plato, Seneca, or at least of some excellent preacher, as of Christs? |
| A26917 | And how can Infants go through all these works? |
| A26917 | And how little comfort findeth he in believing, in comparison of that which the confirmed find? |
| A26917 | And how little doth he repent of this, or endeavour to reform it? |
| A26917 | And how little doth this weak Christian refer his common knowledge to God? |
| A26917 | And how little life receives he from him? |
| A26917 | And how loyal would those rebellious Jews seem, when they thought it the only way to engage the Roman Power against Christ? |
| A26917 | And how many a snare doth lie before him which he never did observe? |
| A26917 | And if we try the Graces, or obedience of Professors, alas, how small shall we find them in the most? |
| A26917 | And must God have such servants as these, that upon every rumour or word or trouble, are wavering and looking back, and ready to forsake him? |
| A26917 | And must we incur all this for magnifying you, and will you dishonour your selves? |
| A26917 | And should a people thus fed be Dwarfs continually? |
| A26917 | And should all this be answered but with triss ● ng from you? |
| A26917 | And should not believers now, be awakened to great and careful preparations, for such a day as this? |
| A26917 | And should not you abound in love and holiness? |
| A26917 | And under such pressing necessities as these, what Christians should we be? |
| A26917 | And what can be said more Blasphemously against God, or more injuriously against Religion, the Scriptures, and the Saints? |
| A26917 | And what man would choose such a weak and languishing state as this, before a confirmed healthful state? |
| A26917 | And who hath not only frustrated these hopes, but almost broke them all to pieces? |
| A26917 | And why came we into the Army of Christ but to fight? |
| A26917 | And why have we the life of Grace but to use it, and to live by it? |
| A26917 | And why then should we imagine that the Heavenly Hierusalem shall not be so too? |
| A26917 | And yet I hope you will not seek after these because they are novelties, and give over eating Bread because you have eaten of it already? |
| A26917 | And yet will you be Infants, and do no more with all your helps? |
| A26917 | And yet will you stop in a state so like to those that perish? |
| A26917 | Are Infants meet for such encounters? |
| A26917 | Are the thoughts or God and Heaven unpleasant or terrible to you? |
| A26917 | Are you content if you have but Life here, to difference you from the dead? |
| A26917 | Are you inclined to fleshly lust? |
| A26917 | Are you inclined to please your appetite in drinking? |
| A26917 | Are you lyable to a gluttonous pleasing of your appetite? |
| A26917 | Are you not in more danger of overloving a pleasing and prosperous condition, than a bitter and vexatious state? |
| A26917 | But I am a poor obscure person, that have neither abilities of mind or body or estate; and what good can I do? |
| A26917 | But how few lament the sins against Government, which this Land hath been sadly guilty of? |
| A26917 | But if you can, when think you should it be done? |
| A26917 | But on whom? |
| A26917 | But the seeming Christian is most carefull how to prosper in the World, or please his flesh? |
| A26917 | But the weak Christian, though he be also united unto Christ, and live by faith, yet how languid are the operations of that faith? |
| A26917 | But the weak Christian, though he hath no sin but what he is a hater of, and fain would be delivered from, yet alas how imperfect is his deliverance? |
| A26917 | But to the weak unconfirmed Soul, how much of the means of Grace is even as lost? |
| A26917 | Can I be a gainer if I lose my soul? |
| A26917 | Christ is the way to the Father: but to what purpose did you come into this way, if you meant not to travel on in it? |
| A26917 | Christian, hadst thou not infinitely rather Love God with the greatest Love than with a less? |
| A26917 | Consider this as the highest Motive of all? |
| A26917 | Did not his Master prove as was reported? |
| A26917 | Do you consider what great things you must make account to suffer for Christ? |
| A26917 | Do you think that men are like to be won by such lives as these? |
| A26917 | Do your worst to draw them to intemperance in eating or drinking or recreations, or any of the delights of the Flesh? |
| A26917 | For while one saith, I am of Paul, and another, I am of Apollo, are ye not carnal? |
| A26917 | For will he be at so much care to keep up a World to dishonour and abuse him? |
| A26917 | For ye are yet carnal: For whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? |
| A26917 | God expecteth more from you; for he hath given you more, and meaneth to do more for you? |
| A26917 | Have you been warmed with his wondrous love, and washed with his blood, and saved by his matchless mercy? |
| A26917 | Have you not seen how many that seemed strong have been overthrown in a time of tryal? |
| A26917 | Here is a man eminent in meekness and humility, and patience and self- denial; discompose and disturb his mind if you can? |
| A26917 | His friend meeting him, asked him how he came so quickly to forsake his happiness? |
| A26917 | His heart saith; Alas, whither shall I go, if I go from Christ? |
| A26917 | How apt are( not only Hypocrites, but) weak Christians, to aggravate all that is done against them? |
| A26917 | How can you then expect that he should preserve the World? |
| A26917 | How censorious are they of others, especially that differ from them in lesser things? |
| A26917 | How dark and dull are his thoughts of Christ? |
| A26917 | How few are they that can rejoyce in tribulation, persecution and bodily distresses, because of the hopes laid up in Heaven? |
| A26917 | How few are they that stand in a day of tryal? |
| A26917 | How few can use prosperity in riches and health and reputation, with a mortified, weaned, heavenly mind? |
| A26917 | How few will do or suffer much for them, or relieve them in their want as suffering with them? |
| A26917 | How ill do they bear dis- esteem or under valuing? |
| A26917 | How ill doth it become men to make any stand in the way to Heaven? |
| A26917 | How little are most acquainted with the life of Faith? |
| A26917 | How little do they admire the Redeemer and his blessed work? |
| A26917 | How little doth he depend on Christ in his enquiries after the things of nature? |
| A26917 | How little is his sense of the wonders of Gods love revealed to the world in the mysterie of Redemption? |
| A26917 | How little sweetness do they find in means? |
| A26917 | How little use doth he make of Christ? |
| A26917 | How many a temptation is he much unacquainted with? |
| A26917 | How much more when he that is for Paul doth censure and rail at Cephas and Apollo? |
| A26917 | How oft have I heard a common drunkard with tears cry out against himself for his sin, and yet go on in it? |
| A26917 | How oft have I heard a sick man most vehemently profess his resolutions for a holy life, which all have come to nothing afterwards? |
| A26917 | How often is he soild and wounded? |
| A26917 | How small a matter, a word, a seeming wrong or disrespect will turn their love into estrangedness or bitterness? |
| A26917 | How then will silly ignorant Christians be able to perswade them? |
| A26917 | How unskilfully doth he manage his Christian armour? |
| A26917 | How well do they think of themselves and their own parts and performances? |
| A26917 | How wise are they in their own conceits? |
| A26917 | How worldly, and close handed and eager of gain, are many that say they despise the World, and take it for their enemy? |
| A26917 | I beseech you look upon the face of the World, and see whether it have not need of the strongest helps? |
| A26917 | I mean, by partaking of the greatest effects of it, and the fullest sense of his everlasting favour? |
| A26917 | If a Papist be to plead his cause with them, how few have we that can answer him? |
| A26917 | If any duty be cross to their profit or credit with men, how obstinate are they against it? |
| A26917 | If ever Christ were needful, he is needful still? |
| A26917 | If he would have Godliness be scandalized, who hath he to do it but Professors of Godliness? |
| A26917 | If no, why do you wish a death to be tryed once again? |
| A26917 | If you were never drawn to do any thing to the reproach of the Church, yet what a grief must it be to us, to see so many of your selves miscarry? |
| A26917 | Is ignorance, and dulness, and earthliness, and selfishness, excusable after all these means? |
| A26917 | Is it long of him, who girdeth himself to wash and wipe their feet? |
| A26917 | Is the time of uncertain painful sickness better than this? |
| A26917 | Is there any former or present sin which is a burden or terror to your Consciences? |
| A26917 | Is there any other that hath the word and spirit of eternal life? |
| A26917 | Is there any thing in all this Character of a Christian, that deserveth the suspicion or hatred of the world? |
| A26917 | Is there any thing in this World that is sw ● ● t ● r t ● your thoughts than God and Heaven? |
| A26917 | It is but a few from whom God expecteth any great matter: And shall those few prove deceitful to him? |
| A26917 | It is most sweet in quality: what sweeter to miserable souls than Mercy? |
| A26917 | Let not death surprize you as a thing that you never seriously expected ▪ Can you do no more in preparation for it than you do? |
| A26917 | Many good works have I shewed you from my Father: for which of these works do ye stone me? |
| A26917 | Many heavenly graces are in the sanctified Believer: For which of these do you hate and injure him? |
| A26917 | Must those hands be employed to demolish his Kingdom, that were washed by him, and should have built it up? |
| A26917 | Must you be in the eternal Joyes of Heaven, when all your unsanctified Neighbours are in torments, and yet will you not more endeavour to excel them? |
| A26917 | O Sirs, must God be thus wonderfully tender of you, and will you not now be very tender of his interest and your duty? |
| A26917 | O how many Prayers, and Confessions, and Duties do these men lose? |
| A26917 | O if he were but sure that this would be the day, or week, or year of the coming of his Lord, how glad would the confirmed Christian be? |
| A26917 | O there is not the holiest Saint on earth, but will confess with lamentation, how little his love to God is in comparison of what it should be? |
| A26917 | O what a glory would you be to your Profession, if you could attain to this degree? |
| A26917 | O what a heart hath that man, that will not be heartned with such calls as these? |
| A26917 | O what a noyse they make of it, if they think that any one hath wronged them? |
| A26917 | O what a sin and shame is this? |
| A26917 | O what a sport is this to the Devil, when he can set his professed enemies by the ears, and make them fall upon one another? |
| A26917 | O what an unrighteous generation are his enemies, that blame the Law because men break it? |
| A26917 | O what endeavours then should be used, for the heavenly everlasting treasure? |
| A26917 | O who hath gone beyond thee for power and plenty and purity of Ordinances? |
| A26917 | Or will you teach your children Hebrew, and Greek, and Latine, before they learn English? |
| A26917 | Or would they have him condemn sinners to more grievous punishment, when they are already offended at the severity of his threatnings? |
| A26917 | Shall all the Workmanship of God abuse him? |
| A26917 | Shall all these high things be spoken of you, and will you live so far below them all? |
| A26917 | Shall he have no honour from any inferiour Creature? |
| A26917 | Shall he thus difference you from all the rest of the world, and will you not study to declare the difference? |
| A26917 | Shall such a thing as Heaven be coldly, or carelesly minded and sought after? |
| A26917 | Shall the Lord of Heaven thus make his boast of you to all the World, and will you not make good his boasting? |
| A26917 | Should not all the love and service that you have be his? |
| A26917 | Should not new Motives and helps thus added to the old, be the means of adding to your zeal and holiness? |
| A26917 | Should such a matchless Miracle of Love, be answered with no greater 〈 ◊ 〉? |
| A26917 | Though the weak Christian hath the same Master, yet alas how little doth he learn? |
| A26917 | Were these men confirmed and stablished in the Faith? |
| A26917 | Were these men rooted and built up in Christ? |
| A26917 | What a Life is this to be the burdens of the Church, when you might be the Pillars of the Church? |
| A26917 | What a case is that Hospital in where all are sick, and no healthful persons among them to help them? |
| A26917 | What a hainous wrong is this to God? |
| A26917 | What a stay to the places where you live? |
| A26917 | What can rationally rejoyce that man, who is sure to die, and unready to dye, and is yet unfurnished of dying comforts? |
| A26917 | What do men choose a Physician for, but to heal them? |
| A26917 | What excellent disputations have Cicero and Seneca, the Platonists and Stoicks, to prove that Virtue is of it self sufficient to make Man happy? |
| A26917 | What excellent hopes had we once in England of the flourishing of piety and happy union among the Churches and servants of Christ? |
| A26917 | What greater reproach almost could have befallen us, than for the adversary to stand by, and see men pulling out each others Throats? |
| A26917 | What if Christs Disciples strive who shall be the greatest? |
| A26917 | What more would you have? |
| A26917 | What shifts and frivolous excuses have they then? |
| A26917 | What sin would not gain or pleasure draw him to commit, if he were but sure to be forgiven? |
| A26917 | What then would they prove if they were tryed by the flames? |
| A26917 | What work are you like to make him, in this decrepit and weak condition? |
| A26917 | When they need Discipline themselves how impatient are they of it, and how do they abhor it? |
| A26917 | Where then is the mouth that pleadeth the cause of infidelity and impiety? |
| A26917 | Which of you would desire an Infant or Criple to be your servant? |
| A26917 | Who heareth of such angry complaints on Gods behalf, as on mens own? |
| A26917 | Whose Oxe or Asse have I taken? |
| A26917 | Why came we into the Vineyard, but to work? |
| A26917 | Why came we into the race but to run for the prize? |
| A26917 | Will you go to the top of the stairs or ladder, without beginning at the lower steps? |
| A26917 | Will you not walk in the Spirit which is given you, and mortify the flesh by it? |
| A26917 | Will you ride your colt before you break him? |

| A26917 | Will you sow your ground before you manure or plow it? |
| A26917 | Will your rear an house before you frame it? |
| A26917 | Would he have a Church divided? |
| A26917 | Would he have publick divisions maintained among all the Churches of the World? |
| A26917 | Would he have the truth opposed, and error and darkness to be promoted? |
| A26917 | Would they have him yet make stricter Laws( when they hate these for being so strict already?) |
| A26917 | Would they not say that you unworthily exposed them to scorn? |
| A26917 | Would you wish the poor World to write after such a crooked and bloted Copy? |
| A26917 | Yea, how often are you quarrelling with your food; and you do not like it? |
| A26917 | You are his dear adopted children, and his Spouse: and should not you be faithful to him to the death? |
| A26917 | You are his friends; and should a friend abuse him? |
| A26917 | You are his houshold- servants; and will you not labour for him and stick to him? |
| A26917 | You have bound your selves to him by more serious frequent vows and Covenants than other men have done? |
| A26917 | You have had many a Prayer answered, and many a deliverance granted; and will you make a stand when all these experiences do call you forward? |

| A26917 | You receive Christ as a Physician of your diseased Souls; and doth not this engage you to go on to use his Medicines till you are cured? |
| A26917 | [ If ye offer the blind for Sacrifice, is it not evil? |
| A26917 | [ O how great is his goodness which he hath laid up for them that fear him? |
| A26917 | and be beloved again with the greatest of his Love? |
| A26917 | and blame Religion because many are not Religious enough? |
| A26917 | and fear and abhor the approach of an evil thought? |
| A26917 | and hath charged them to mark them that cause divisions and offences contrary to the Doctrine which they had learned, and to avoid them? |
| A26917 | and hath told them, that if they bite and devour one another, they shall be devoured one of another? |
| A26917 | and how carnal, and common is much of his knowledge? |
| A26917 | and how little good can they say they get by them? |
| A26917 | and how oft is he hearkning to the teaching of the flesh? |
| A26917 | and how unapt to judg themselves? |
| A26917 | and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? |
| A26917 | and inconsiderateness deprive them of the benefit of their reason? |
| A26917 | and made a jest of the Judgements of the Lord? |

| A26917 | and of overloving Riches, honour, and sensual fulness and delights, rather than Poverty, reproach, and mortification? |
| A26917 | and reproached the serious holiness of Believers? |
| A26917 | and should you not be as tender of his favour and his law, and honour, as of the Apple of your eye? |
| A26917 | and so barren and common a kind of life? |
| A26917 | and that can live upon a Promise, and comfortably wait on God for the accomplishment? |
| A26917 | and to extenuate or justifie all that they do against another? |
| A26917 | and what a stir do they make before they will submit? |
| A26917 | and what a wrong to God and thee? |
| A26917 | and what order, and growth and comfort is among them? |
| A26917 | and whether he should poison, or famish, or torment himself? |
| A26917 | and whether it be for wronging God or them, that all the stirre is made? |
| A26917 | and who should do it but the unstable Members of it? |
| A26917 | and why are you troubled that you lived no better? |
| A26917 | and will you no more regard the health and stability, and spiritual peace and vigour of your souls? |
| A26917 | and will you not study to shew your selves more excellent indeed? |
| A26917 | and yet will you rest satisfied with an Infant- strength, to do those great and matchless works, which your Salvation lyeth on? |
| A26917 | defamed them? |
| A26917 | disparaged them? |
| A26917 | especially when they have been in the way so long, that we might have expected before this they should have been as it were almost within sight of it? |
| A26917 | even more sometimes than a Drunkard or a Swearer, so small is their Repentance and detestation of their sin? |
| A26917 | hast thou found God a hard Master, a barren Wilderness to thee? |
| A26917 | how carelesly doth he watch them? |
| A26917 | how do you think that God must take this at your hands? |
| A26917 | how oft are they defiled with impurity and uncharitableness? |
| A26917 | how quickly doth he find a bone of contention? |
| A26917 | how remisly doth he rebuke them, excite them and command them? |
| A26917 | if God be for us, who can be against us? |
| A26917 | must those abuse him whom he hath Redeemed from damnation? |
| A26917 | offer it now to thy Governour: Will he be pleased with thee or accept thy person, saith the Lord of Hosts?] |
| A26917 | or can they read before they learn to spell, or know their letters? |
| A26917 | or can you reap before you sow it? |
| A26917 | or incroached on their right? |
| A26917 | or of whose hand have I received any bribe, to blinde mine eyes therewith, and I will restore it? |

| A26917 | or to the furtherance of his own and others happiness? |
| A26917 | or use it for him? |
| A26917 | or what will it do against them? |
| A26917 | or whom have I defrauded? |
| A26917 | or why turned we into the right way, but to travel in it? |
| A26917 | should not a friend be faithful? |
| A26917 | than, How shall I know that I shall be saved? |
| A26917 | that thou shouldest now begin to make a stand, as if thou were in doubt whether it be best to go further? |
| A26917 | what a deal of vanity and confusion is in them? |
| A26917 | what harm is there in it? |
| A26917 | who must do it but Professors of the truth? |
| A26917 | who shall deliver me from this body of death? |
| A26917 | whom have I oppressed? |
| A26917 | you are not able much to help one another; how much less to help the dead ungodly World? |
| A65061 | ( Let them take notice of it, the great learned men that preach Heathenism among us) Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? |
| A65061 | ( Oh Lord, may some say? |
| A65061 | 1. Who hath believed our report? |
| A65061 | 1. what advantage then hath the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision? |
| A65061 | 10. of the latter: and what doth God construe their action to be? |
| A65061 | 11. the purpose of God must stand, that is, not defeated, frustrated, and finally opposed, for then it stands not: And how doth it stand? |
| A65061 | 13. to prove this drawing to him; Is it not said in the Prophets, All thy children shall be taught of God? |
| A65061 | 15. is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? |
| A65061 | 15. speaking about Fornication, Shall I take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? |
| A65061 | 15. why dost thou strive against the Lord? |

| A65061 | 20. that they might be without excuse; for what? |
| A65061 | 22. and if so, what dissonancy will you make between preaching of the means and the end? |
| A65061 | 25? |
| A65061 | 28. and what''s the meaning properly of all Nations and every creature? |
| A65061 | 29. then, Lord save me, or else I perish: then Christ saith, Oh thou of little faith, wherefore dost thou doubt? |
| A65061 | 29. what purpose? |
| A65061 | 3. for if the word spoken by Angels was stedfast, and every transgression,& c. what then? |
| A65061 | 31. why? |
| A65061 | 32. that he draws? |
| A65061 | 35. who hath first given to God? |

| A65061 | 35: Who hath first given to God? |
| A65061 | 3? |
| A65061 | 4, 5. and what''s that, but it takes away the actual resistance of the heart at that present time? |
| A65061 | 4. meaning worldly men, know you not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? |
| A65061 | 44. how can you believe that receive honour one of another, and not that which comes from God only? |
| A65061 | 5. had he not stricken thee down( as Paul was) until he made thee say, Lord what wilt thou have me to do: what might have become of thee? |
| A65061 | 7. Who made thee to differ from another? |
| A65061 | 7. Who makes thee to differ from another? |
| A65061 | Again, Shall we sin that Grace may abound? |
| A65061 | And How shall this offence that reason may take at the proceeding of God in this point, be cured? |
| A65061 | And do not we denominate our selves by the Name of Christ, without any membership with him, or real union? |
| A65061 | And is not the new creature made of as little as the old is? |
| A65061 | And is ● ot the Name of God blasphemed by prophane people, through our outwardness? |
| A65061 | And now let me speak to the Analogie; I may say as the Apostle; what then, are we better then they? |
| A65061 | And this was a holiness of separation by Covenant: and truely what is this? |
| A65061 | And thou( saith the Apostle) that abhorrost Idols, dost thou not commit sacriledge? |
| A65061 | And to the Sacrament you will come, and pretend zeal in it; but do you any thing but observe a fair decorum for that day or time? |
| A65061 | And truly there lies some emphasis in this word Gospel- grace: for, may some say, what do you mean by that? |
| A65061 | And what is that Proclamation? |
| A65061 | And what, are the other attributes of God past by in silence? |
| A65061 | And who are these that took offence? |
| A65061 | And who are they, aud what is their sin? |
| A65061 | And who will say that these promises are built on any conditions in man? |
| A65061 | And, Good Master, what shall I do, that I may inherit eternal life? |
| A65061 | Art thou a sinner? |
| A65061 | Art thou willing to be paid for thy service in spirituals, and( if God will) to forbear temporals? |
| A65061 | But can a supernatural principle be educed by the power of the matter? |
| A65061 | But how is he to us that are called both Jewes and Greeks? |
| A65061 | But how shall I do that? |
| A65061 | But that Text, Who made thee to differ? |
| A65061 | But was it so with all? |
| A65061 | But we shall look only into man himself, in whom there is reason enough for his unbelief: how can you believe, that receive honour one of another? |
| A65061 | But what do you mean, may some say, by carnal man? |
| A65061 | Can a Camel go through the eye of a needle? |
| A65061 | Can not the maker of the heart work upon the heart, he that turnes the heart as the rivers of water are turned in the channel? |
| A65061 | Can the Aethiopian change his skin? |
| A65061 | Can you say, that the Gospel- ministry hath wrought faith in me? |
| A65061 | Cast from you all your transgressions, make you 〈 ◊ 〉 new heart and a new spirit, for why will ye dye? |
| A65061 | Did he abhor Idols, yet commit sacriledge? |
| A65061 | Did not the Jew honour the great Names of Abraham and Moses, but were neither true Disciples of the one, nor Children of the other? |
| A65061 | Did not the Jew observe the Laws of his Religion with mighty zeal and strictness as ever Nation did? |
| A65061 | Do not we cry and labour that our sores may not be toucht? |
| A65061 | Do not we know this mans Fathers and Mother? |
| A65061 | Doth any man say unto God, Depart? |
| A65061 | Doth not the manducation of Christs body and blood in the Sacrament tend unto this inward and spiritual inhabitation of Christ in us? |
| A65061 | First do ye find a prizing of and an Appetite to the sincere milk of the word, that you may grow thereby? |
| A65061 | Fourthly, The patient expectation and loving call of God is gain said, even by Israel that had the Ordinances of God; what good did they? |
| A65061 | From all this that hath been said, what followes now, if we will make use of it? |
| A65061 | God knows all manner of ways( saith one) whereby the heart of man can be wrought upon; and must he not needs know? |
| A65061 | He loved me, and gave himself for me: No man can say this word me, until he be drawn unto Christ: And when is that? |
| A65061 | He( as other Erronists that live in our times) did not abstain from Orthodox words: But what said Austin to them? |
| A65061 | How can these offers of grace be serious or in earnest, when so many thousands called by the Word are not absolutely converted? |
| A65061 | How can ye believe, that receive honour one of another? |
| A65061 | How incongruous is it that working is set before Being? |
| A65061 | How is it then said, Except my Father draw him? |
| A65061 | I purged thee and thou wast not purged: are these things spoken in jest? |
| A65061 | I will make that to be a door of hope: what is that? |
| A65061 | If God and man work together, what shall we think of them that divide this partnership, this conjunction? |
| A65061 | If any man living can know himself to be Elected of God, how must he know it? |
| A65061 | If he be drawn, how doth he come? |
| A65061 | In nature did I make my self? |
| A65061 | In the Gospel it was a Miracle to turn water into wine; and is it nothing to change a filthy swine into a sheep, and darkness into light? |
| A65061 | Is any thing both a creature and a Creator? |
| A65061 | Is it not envied in them that have it? |
| A65061 | Is it not so with us? |
| A65061 | Is not this Jesus the son of Joseph? |
| A65061 | Is the promise of Christ more powerful with thy heart than the performance of the world? |
| A65061 | Is the work of Regeneration passed upon you? |
| A65061 | It is excluded( saith he) By what Law? |
| A65061 | It s free to such as are called, though it be not common to all: Was not the grace of God free to Jacob? |
| A65061 | Lastly, Do you find pulsations, beatings, knocking''s? |
| A65061 | Let the Minister instruct in meekness them that oppose themselves: And who are these? |
| A65061 | Lord, who hath believed our report? |
| A65061 | Master, what shall we do, that we may work the works of God? |
| A65061 | Nay, would you think that any mans sin should be so fast rivetted in him, as that it should cause him to love death? |
| A65061 | Now all the question of the Text will be whose surety is Christ: Is he Gods surety that makes it, or mans surety with whom it is made? |
| A65061 | Of what avail is the setting forth of an object, where there is no eye to see it? |
| A65061 | Repent and make you a new heart, and a new spirit, and cast away your transgressions; for why will you die? |
| A65061 | Secondly, If the spirit of God strive with you still, Convincing and reproving: are your hearts often Convict of secret sins? |
| A65061 | Secondly, Is thy faith an inchristing, that is, a Christ receiving faith? |
| A65061 | Secondly, Man by nature is opposite to Christ: Why? |
| A65061 | Shew not your Opinions, and Notions, and Forms: Have you the inward work? |
| A65061 | There are some( that are otherways great men) that when they come to die, whither do they fly? |
| A65061 | Thirdly, Do you find God making a thorny hedge about you ways? |
| A65061 | Thirdly, It is wondred at, that God should command what he works or gives; for if he mean to give it, why doth he command? |
| A65061 | This is the great offence, Who hath refisted his will? |
| A65061 | This is the test: But the touchstone that tryes other mettals, who shall try it? |
| A65061 | Thou pleadest Christs mission: but Canst thou make Gods traction of thee to appear? |
| A65061 | Thou wilt say, Why doth he yet complain, who hath resisted his Will? |
| A65061 | To whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? |
| A65061 | Use 1 First, I say hence: Can our outward Christian give any good account of any momentous difference between himself, and the Jew outwardly? |
| A65061 | Use 3 Have you this inward man? |
| A65061 | Was not the man deceived? |
| A65061 | Was that which is good made death to me? |
| A65061 | We make not a haire of our selves, no not the colour, and shall we not lay it to heart? |
| A65061 | What do you gather from these two expressions? |
| A65061 | What failed then? |
| A65061 | What is the meaning of this phrase? |
| A65061 | What is the reason that God effectually works that grace in one, which he doth but offer to another? |
| A65061 | What poor draughts of men did Christ make by his preaching, until he was lift up, and by his Spirit drew men by conviction? |
| A65061 | What? |
| A65061 | When I go to send the Holy Ghost from the Father unto the world, what greater works can there be? |
| A65061 | When did he speak the word? |
| A65061 | Whence came the first light? |
| A65061 | Where is boasting then? |
| A65061 | Where is that inward holiness of heart, and the saying knowledg of Christ Jesus? |
| A65061 | Where is the wise? |
| A65061 | Whether of these is the hardest work? |
| A65061 | Who can help it? |
| A65061 | Why not? |
| A65061 | Why nothing but Christ, saith the heart: But what say you to victory over enemies? |
| A65061 | Why so? |
| A65061 | Why then may some say, i ● there no power in man to come unto, or to believe in Christ Jesus? |
| A65061 | Why? |
| A65061 | Why? |
| A65061 | Will not God be found always when man seeks? |
| A65061 | Will you not believe that God is able by this sympathy in the will, to make the heart by power willing to come to Christ Jesus? |
| A65061 | Will you take me right in this word that I am now speaking? |
| A65061 | and can not he move nature by his omnipotency without ordinary course? |
| A65061 | and doth it stand, and is not pulled up? |
| A65061 | and doth not God that made the heart know how to move and determine it to himself? |
| A65061 | and if he command, how doth he give? |
| A65061 | and if it be Gods work, how can it be my duty? |
| A65061 | and to whom is the arme of the Lord revealed? |
| A65061 | and what hast thou that thou diddest not receive? |
| A65061 | and what hast thou that thou hast not received? |
| A65061 | are not we lovers of our selves, covetous, proud, boasters,& c. having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof? |
| A65061 | are there such monsters in the world, such miscreants as do this; yes saith he, that there is; and who are they? |
| A65061 | are you Christians inwardly? |
| A65061 | are you drawn into union and acquaintance with Christ? |
| A65061 | but where is the inward reason of that Ordinance? |
| A65061 | by virtue of which, if the option was given to man, what would he chuse? |
| A65061 | determining and carrying it out so as shall not prejudice the freedome and inclination of it? |
| A65061 | did not God make the day without the Sun at first? |
| A65061 | doth any body rap at the door still, as they have done? |
| A65061 | doth not God know how to work upon the heart of man? |
| A65061 | doth nothing of this sit upon you? |
| A65061 | doth this draw you to a more sharp and vehement seeking? |
| A65061 | for Nazareth, where he lived, was near to Capernaum: how doth he say, I came down from Heaven? |
| A65061 | for not believing in Christ? |
| A65061 | grace( may some say) before Faith? |
| A65061 | have you felt any moulding and fashioning of your hearts into the Image of Christ? |
| A65061 | he that believes and is baptized, shall be saved; he that believes not, shall be damned: but is this Gospel? |
| A65061 | his absent glory above the present inducements? |
| A65061 | how doth God deal in good earnest in the offer of grace, when he doth not absolutely give it and work this Conversion? |
| A65061 | how often have you gainsaid and contradicted the God of heaven? |
| A65061 | how shall it be made appear, that this Doctrine is indeed the true test? |
| A65061 | how shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation: neglect is a word somewhat lower then this that we call resistance; and yet how shall we escape? |
| A65061 | how? |
| A65061 | if it be a duty, how is it Gods work? |
| A65061 | if there be no salvation, from whence is he called a Saviour? |

| A26923 | Accordingly a great Question must be determined, Whether the sins of the Faithful deserve any more than a temporal Chastisement? |
| A26923 | Adam had such a Holiness as might be lost: And why may we not say, that Infants first ▪ Grace is of such a sort or degree? |
| A26923 | All Propositions that God maketh are true: Because true Propositions are true, must all be true? |
| A26923 | All that he hath said against me is materially Answered in the Book already, and if he perceive it not, how can I help that? |
| A26923 | And are these so numerous? |
| A26923 | And by this time you may answer their Objection that say, Why not a common and conditional Election, as well as a common and conditional Redemption? |
| A26923 | And did ● ● die with them? |
| A26923 | And how can a man accept of that which he believeth not was ever purchased, procured, or offered him? |
| A26923 | And how can a man be thankful for that which he believeth not was ever done for him, or given him? |
| A26923 | And how shall they call on him on whom they have not believed,& c.? |
| A26923 | And if he be not loved of God, he is miserable? |

| A26923 | And if the Law of Grace, whether of the first or second Edition? |
| A26923 | And if you add, But what is the cause that, à priore, his Will is thus related and denominated as decreeing this or that? |
| A26923 | And is Possibility then any thing extra m ● ntem Di ● inam& humanam? |
| A26923 | And is it any Wonder that Humane Language wanteth proper words to signifie that of God, which is so far above our comprehension? |
| A26923 | And is this to be denied by any Christian? |
| A26923 | And must others be troubled with such Cases? |
| A26923 | And then, 2. to enquire, Whether they so keep that Law, as to be saved by it? |
| A26923 | And what his merits, sacrifice and intercession could do, before they did exist? |
| A26923 | And what man dare say that he can search out the waies of God? |
| A26923 | And what would you have more? |
| A26923 | And whether Christ''s Abrogation of it was not a returning them to the common, easier and better Condition of Mankind? |
| A26923 | And whether they may pray for pardon of perpetual punishment, or need any such pardon? |
| A26923 | And whether, as it receiveth him in all the parts of that Office, or which? |
| A26923 | And who hath power or skill to make a better than Christ made 〈 … 〉 that attempted it, thereby is an accursed Antichrist? |
| A26923 | And who will avoid Sin, Temptations, and Hell, that believeth not him that tells them of the evil, and of the danger that is before him? |
| A26923 | And why answer you not what I wrote against Dr. Twisse, before you call for an Answer to him? |
| A26923 | And why may not Infants be in a pardoned state, that at first have but that Grace which giveth a moral Power to believe when they come to age? |
| A26923 | And why then do they make two Controversies of Election and Redemption, when they mean the same in both? |
| A26923 | And ● ● Christ repealed that Law, by which Act did he do it? |
| A26923 | And, 1. will not any reasonable Infidel confess, That Thankfulness is naturally due for great and inestimable Benefits? |
| A26923 | Are all or most Christians certain that they shall persevere? |
| A26923 | Are such esse''s as many in God as the things will be in themselves? |
| A26923 | Are these all one with you? |
| A26923 | Are they saved by the Ceremony, or by Consent to the Covenant? |
| A26923 | As God is not a part of the World, or universal Substance, and yet is eminenter more than a part, what if it be so answered here? |
| A26923 | As to the Question, Whether the divine and humane nature be two or one, it is to ask, Whether the nature of God and his Creatures be two or one? |
| A26923 | As to the third, is it a divine Proposition, or a humane? |
| A26923 | Because they are sacred persons, and belong to God, and serve at his Altars? |
| A26923 | But alas how shall I know what esse intentionale is in God? |
| A26923 | But he saith( If there be no eternal Futures, what becometh of Divine Prescience?) |
| A26923 | But how doth God love a holy Soul if he forsake him, and with- hold his Spirit? |
| A26923 | But how is Christ himself physically received? |
| A26923 | But if so, then what if Christians take Heathens Children against their Wills, and baptize them, and then turn them home again? |
| A26923 | But is it Grace or Free- will that is the chief Cause? |
| A26923 | But is not Grace the only cause of the Change? |
| A26923 | But is the Divine a part of the Person of a Mediator? |
| A26923 | But must Futurity, or Non- futurity, or Nothing, be therefore any thing? |
| A26923 | But not as Acts, but for the Object? |
| A26923 | But the sticking difficulty is, Whether any men in the World have Grace sufficient to repent and believe savingly, who do not? |
| A26923 | But wherein then lieth the Hypostatical Union, if God be equally near to all things? |
| A26923 | But whether sub poena mortis is the doubt? |
| A26923 | But, 2. have all that hear the Gospel sufficient Grace to believe? |

| A26923 | Controversies I have written of, but only to end them, and not to make them: And who can reconcile them that never mentioneth them? |
| A26923 | Could you forget that this would be expected from you? |
| A26923 | Do I in all this take part with Ignorance, Error, Heresie or any Sin? |
| A26923 | Do not great Benefits freely offered, require Acceptance? |
| A26923 | Do not you confess that that esse is non- esse as to any Creature? |
| A26923 | Do you not thus confound the World and the Church? |
| A26923 | Doth Death bind God, because it is but the privation of Life; or vacuity( si detur vacuum) because it is nothing? |
| A26923 | Doth the Comfort of most Christians rest upon the Doctrine of Certainty to persevere? |
| A26923 | Doth the Doctrine of eventual Apostasie inferr Mutability in God? |
| A26923 | For Repentance is the change of the mind from evil to good? |
| A26923 | For is it mediate or immediate Causation or Efficiency which they mean? |
| A26923 | For no Man or Angel can have any thing of God, but by free Gift: What have we which we receive not, when our being is of God? |
| A26923 | Futurity? |
| A26923 | Hath God Accidents, and so many millions of millions of Accidents, and yet most simple and immutable? |
| A26923 | Hath Gods Knowledg any Cause? |

| A26923 | How fain would some men differ, if they could, or seem to do it, when they do not? |
| A26923 | How is it that Nothing will come to pass? |
| A26923 | I pray what is the Verity that you say resulteth eternally? |
| A26923 | I would you had told me, whether you take the Reality of Futurity to be 〈 … 〉 n esse rei extrinsecae, or in esse objectivo intrinseco? |
| A26923 | I ● such Certainty fit for all the justified? |
| A26923 | If Dr. Twisse hold Sin to be nothing, doth it follow, that it binds God, because it''s nothing? |
| A26923 | If Holiness be not actually lost, is the loss possible? |
| A26923 | If a man were holy,( that is, an obedient Lover of God and Goodness) without Faith in Christ, would that save him? |
| A26923 | If an outward, then the sence of the Question is, Whether some other Work of God be sufficient to move the Will of Man? |
| A26923 | If any, Whether it be the Law of Innocency as made to Adam, or the Law of Grace? |
| A26923 | If it be the Essence, why may not the proved Trinity of objective Conceptions, as formal, be called Persons or Hypostases? |
| A26923 | If the latter, What is the effect whose sufficiency he questioneth? |
| A26923 | If the question be only whether the respective Termination of God''s will, and the Denomination of it as thus or thus terminated, can be resisted? |
| A26923 | If the question be, How God knoweth future contingents? |
| A26923 | If they should, whence had they that Power? |

| A26923 | Is Futurity a more excellent Being tha ● Spirit, Matter and Motion, to be capable of this Divine Attribute? |
| A26923 | Is God''s Will resistible? |
| A26923 | Is Nothing a wonder? |

| A26923 | Is it a Substance or an Accident? |
| A26923 | Is it a wonder for nothing to be independent? |
| A26923 | Is it knowing ones self, or knowing another, or another''s knowing me, that constituteth Personality? |
| A26923 | Is it the Conceptus Divinus? |
| A26923 | Is it the Name[ Worthiness] or the meaning that displeaseth you? |
| A26923 | Is it the Realitas futuritionis ex parte ● ei? |
| A26923 | Is it the res futura? |
| A26923 | Is it unfit for all, and doubting a more safe condition? |
| A26923 | Is not that a Proposition? |
| A26923 | Is that God bound or conquer''d that can turn Nothing into Something at his pleasure? |
| A26923 | Is that esse intentionale any thing real besides God himself? |
| A26923 | Is there no other sounder way? |
| A26923 | Is this Nothing the Ruler of God and All things, because he causeth not that which is not causable? |
| A26923 | Is what true? |
| A26923 | It may seem to some a difficult Question whether God by such a Law made them Happier or Worse than the rest of the World? |
| A26923 | It must be enquired, Whether such a thing be? |
| A26923 | It troubleth men much to open, how Christ was any true Cause of our Pardon and Salvation as a Mediator, before his Incarnation? |
| A26923 | Might not the Church have lived with such in Peace? |
| A26923 | Might not they yet have lived in Love, that agreed in all the Essentials of Christianity? |
| A26923 | No: For, 1. most Christians in the World hold, that Perseverance is uncertain to the godly; and how can they be certain of it to themselves? |
| A26923 | No: I ask you, Did he confound them before Christ''s Incarnation, who thought that more than the Jews were saved? |
| A26923 | Or are they Creatures in esse intentionali? |
| A26923 | Or as a Condition? |
| A26923 | Or as it receiveth his Righteousness only? |
| A26923 | Or as meritorious? |
| A26923 | Or at least, why answer you not Strangius, but impertinently talk of the Serpent Socinus? |
| A26923 | Or can he be thankful to he knoweth not whom? |
| A26923 | Or can nothing have a ruling Power? |
| A26923 | Or how far must our Confidence ascend? |
| A26923 | Or is it a Power truly to repent and believe? |
| A26923 | Or is it any Virtue or Duty to lye, and say that they know or believe what they are utterly ignorant of? |
| A26923 | Or is this a convincing way of reasoning? |
| A26923 | Or may others after them make also a new Christianity? |
| A26923 | Or only as in his Priestly Office? |
| A26923 | Or the Verity of a Proposition? |
| A26923 | Or the veritas conceptus Divini de rerum futuritione? |
| A26923 | Or to love God habitually, and live holily? |
| A26923 | Or to overcome greater Temptations, and persevere? |
| A26923 | Or when there was nothing but God, did Nothingness bind God? |
| A26923 | Or whether Christ''s Will and Operations should be said to be One or Two? |
| A26923 | Or whether Perseverance depend on meer Election and God''s Will, which secureth only some of the justified? |
| A26923 | Or will killing men cure them? |
| A26923 | Perhaps they will say, That Experience telleth us that God doth usually concurr with them: I answer, And is not that because he worketh by them? |
| A26923 | Say you so? |
| A26923 | So if the Question be[ Whether God gave any Conditional Will?] |
| A26923 | So if the question be, Whether God''s Knowledge be mutable? |
| A26923 | So if the question be, Whether God''s Knowledge ● ave many Acts? |
| A26923 | Speak Christians, is it not so? |
| A26923 | That God should will and cause David''s Concubines to be defiled, and not will or cause that Absolom should defile them? |

| A26923 | The Godfather may be an Hypocrite, and mean nothing that he promiseth; and shall the Child be saved by his Lye that damneth the Lyer himself? |
| A26923 | The Godfather may have no Propriety in the Child, but steal him, shall that save him? |
| A26923 | The common disputed question is, Whether all men have Grace sufficient to believe? |
| A26923 | The difference is, Whether a bad man can change his own will? |
| A26923 | The form enquired of, is Quid morale? |
| A26923 | The same ● say of his words( if futures be futures without the Divine will, what horrible Fate must be upon God?) |
| A26923 | The verit ● rei futurae? |
| A26923 | The word[ Rewardable] is long and oft harsh: And what other have we? |
| A26923 | Therefore all that remaineth, is to resolve what is the reason of the certain effect when we believe? |
| A26923 | Therefore being agreed of the fact and event, we must be agreed of the Intention or Decree, and what needs there more? |
| A26923 | They must learn and obey his Doctrine; and can they obey it that believe it not? |
| A26923 | Thus much to answer the question, Who shall be Iudge of Controversies and Scripture Sence? |
| A26923 | V. About the next Question I may yet be shorter, How far any Works of ours may be trusted in? |
| A26923 | What Accident( or mode) or of what Substance? |

| A26923 | What if the questions, Whether Mary should be called the Mother of God, or rather of Him who is God? |
| A26923 | What if those that with Ierome misliked the word Hypostasis, and those that preferred it before Persona, had forborn censuring one another? |

| A27045 | And then why did they not charge this defection from the Pope upon them, among their hainous crimes? |
| A27045 | And to what purpose talk you of determinate Congregations? |
| A27045 | And what can a Protestant say more against the Vice- Christship, and your novelties? |
| A27045 | And what fitter English have we for the Kings deputy in a distant Kingdom, who is Vice Regis, then the Vice- King? |
| A27045 | And what if I have sufficient means to know the authority of a thousand Priests, but am culpably ignorant of it in some few through my neglect? |
| A27045 | And what if you tell me your own opinion, of the sufficient means by which I must be convinced of the Popes and Priests authority? |
| A27045 | And what maketh more Necessary to me, or others here in England, if it be not necessary to all? |
| A27045 | And what mean you then? |
| A27045 | And what then? |
| A27045 | And whether every particular sin unchurch men? |
| A27045 | And who is ignorant that knowe ● h any thing of Church- history, that others were called successours of Peter as well as the Bishop of Rome? |
| A27045 | And who is it that must approve this custom? |
| A27045 | And who knows what custome, and of what continuance you mean? |
| A27045 | And why did not the Fathers rebuke them for sinning against conscience, and their own profession herein? |
| A27045 | And why would it not have been so then between the Fathers, and the Donatists, Arrians, and such like, if the Fathers had believed this? |
| A27045 | And withall, who knows not how full of fictions Nicephorus is? |
| A27045 | And yet Cyril did not hereupon reject him without further warning: And what was it that he threatned, but to hold no Communion with him? |
| A27045 | Are all the mysteries of your succession and mission resolved into Popular Consent? |
| A27045 | Are not these the most common titles that Papists give them, and that they take unto themselves? |
| A27045 | Are you ashamed of the very Cause or Title of it, which you will have necessary to our salvation? |
| A27045 | Are you still in jest? |
| A27045 | As to your citation what can I say? |
| A27045 | Audeat ergo aliquis dicere, illos errasse qui tradiderunt? |
| A27045 | But all the doubt is, by whom this Tradition that''s valid, must be By your Pastors, or people, or both? |
| A27045 | But do they indeed believe themselves? |
| A27045 | But do you in good earnest think that all such addresses, or appeals are ad superiorem judicem? |
| A27045 | But how and by whom; and with what Evidence? |
| A27045 | But if somewhat must be explicitely( that is, Actually) believed, the Question that you should have answered was,[ What is it?] |
| A27045 | But if your words were there to be found, what are they to your purpose? |
| A27045 | But is not this to say nothing while you pretend to speak? |
| A27045 | But must the Prince and people let alone delinquent Pastors for fear of being blamed for taking their Bishopricks? |
| A27045 | But that Nestorius was condemned by a Council needs no proof: And what if Celestine began and first condemned him? |
| A27045 | But what have you from this Council against this Council? |
| A27045 | But what if the Archbishop of Canterbury sate highest, and subscribed first in England? |
| A27045 | But what if you had put the Question, At what time it was that your Church began to claim this universal Dominion? |
| A27045 | But what must we prove? |
| A27045 | But what name else is it that you agree on as proper to express the power which is controverted? |
| A27045 | But what say you now to the contrary? |
| A27045 | But why did you not tell us to whom it is that it belongs to esteem the Choosers fit? |
| A27045 | But why do you not tell me what you mean by[ an Implicite faith]? |
| A27045 | But why then did you at all put on the face of an Opponent? |
| A27045 | But why were not the antecedent words of the Bishop of Antioch and his Clergy as valid to the contrary, as Iuvenals for this? |
| A27045 | But you ask again[ Did those Heathen Emperours give it him?] |
| A27045 | By Pope, or Councils, or Bishops disjunct? |
| A27045 | By the Major part of the Church, or Bishops( or Presbyters) or the Minor? |
| A27045 | Can any writing make any matter plainer to you, then that Bread is Bread, and Wine is Wine, when you see them, and tast, and eat, and drink them? |
| A27045 | Can they say[ ex hac omnes?] |
| A27045 | Can you have any thing brought to a surer judgement then to all your senses? |
| A27045 | Can you prove this Consequence? |
| A27045 | Did all the rest arise from Rome? |
| A27045 | Did hell ever hatch worse hypocrisie then this that he fathers on his holiest Pope? |
| A27045 | Did not Cyprian believe that this was a Law of Christ before Stephen medled in that business? |
| A27045 | Did the Council speak a word for your power without the Empire? |
| A27045 | Did this prove Acacius the Vice- Christ? |
| A27045 | Did you think that it proved the Pope to be the Vice- Christ? |
| A27045 | Do I need then to say any more to disprove his universal Headship, and that Rome is not the Catholike Ruling Church? |
| A27045 | Do you build upon such foundations? |
| A27045 | Do you leave that to be varied as a thing indifferent? |
| A27045 | Do you mean individual assemblies? |
| A27045 | Do you mean, that he must have this jure divino, or humano? |
| A27045 | Do you not see now whither your Implicite faith hath brought you? |
| A27045 | Do you think to satisfie any reasonable man by calling for positive proof from Authors, of such Negatives? |
| A27045 | Domini nostri Iesu Christi? |
| A27045 | Dorylaei had read his bill of complaint? |
| A27045 | Doth he charge the other Patriarchs and Bishops to give it no man? |
| A27045 | Doth it follow that he was Governour of all the world? |
| A27045 | Doth it follow that therefore I am out of the Church? |
| A27045 | Doth not Boverius( cited in my Key) labour to prove him the Vicar of Christ, and to be Vice Christi? |
| A27045 | Doth not your Definition agree to a Provincial, or the smallest Council? |
| A27045 | For what shall not be lawful for the authority of so great a Bishop to exercise upon the Churches? |
| A27045 | Had he that authority( think you) from an Heathen Emperour? |
| A27045 | Had not the people in all former ages the choice of their Pastors? |
| A27045 | Have you had all these Nations man by man before your bar, and convinced them of pertinaciousness in heresie? |
| A27045 | How came St. Cyprian, in time of the Heathen Empire to request Stephen the Pope to punish and depose the Bishop of Arles, as we shall see hereafter? |
| A27045 | How came it to pass that the Fathers did labour no more to convince them of that( now supposed) fundamentall Errour? |
| A27045 | How could there be a Church protesting against an universal Vicar of Christ, before any claimed that Vicarship? |
| A27045 | How frequent is it with you to appropriate the name of[ the Church] to the Clergy? |
| A27045 | How gross a subterfuge is this? |
| A27045 | How is it possible they should actually reject both the Doctrine and Communion of the Pope and Roman Church? |
| A27045 | How is it that we find not this point disputed by them on both sides, yea and as copiously as the rest, when it would have ended all? |
| A27045 | How many Bishops, and from what parts must( ad esse) make such a Council? |
| A27045 | How many restored he out of the Empire? |
| A27045 | How shall we know who hath this power? |
| A27045 | How should any Heresie be opposed or condemned before it doth arise? |
| A27045 | How then could he censure the name as undue, injurious, prophane, and blasphemous, if he owned the Thing? |
| A27045 | How unconstant are you among your selves in the use of terms? |
| A27045 | I know no name so fitted to the reall controversie? |
| A27045 | I pray tell me how you can avoid it? |
| A27045 | I she therefore the Universal Bishop? |
| A27045 | If Christianity had ever ceased in the world, how came it to be new planted, and revived? |
| A27045 | If a piece of the Church may turn Hereticks, or but Schismaticks, as the Novatians, and African Donatists, why may not another piece turn Papists? |
| A27045 | If not, must they all take the words of their present Teachers? |
| A27045 | If that were true, yet what''s that to all the rest? |
| A27045 | If you askt, Whether men rule not Angels? |
| A27045 | If you believe this Synod, the Controversie is at end: If you do not, why do you cite it? |

| A27045 | Is it a Council if difficulties keep away all? |
| A27045 | Is it any lawful Pastors, or All, that must necessarily be depended on by every member? |
| A27045 | Is it because that more is Revealed to us? |
| A27045 | Is it no Schism to separate from a particular Church, unless from the whole? |
| A27045 | Is it none, if you make a Division in the Church, and not from the Church? |
| A27045 | Is it not now a fair Argument that you offer? |
| A27045 | Is it that he must do it in Love for their good? |
| A27045 | Is my obedience to each Priest as necessary, as my belief of every Article of my faith? |
| A27045 | Is no one way of Election necessary? |
| A27045 | Is not the Bible, a publick Testimony and record, and being universally received, is an universal Tradition? |
| A27045 | Is that too general? |
| A27045 | Is the opposition and obstinacy that makes Heresie, in the Intellect or will? |
| A27045 | Is this argument good think you? |
| A27045 | Is this disunion, think you, fit to make one and the same Congregation of you and them? |
| A27045 | Iustinian deposed Sylverius and Vigilius: Will you confess it therefore justly done? |
| A27045 | May none but Bishops and chief Prelates be members, as you intimate? |
| A27045 | Must it needs be against the Formal object of Faith? |
| A27045 | Must it not represent all the Catholike Church? |
| A27045 | No man contradicted this: And is not this as much or more, then you alledge as spoke to Leo? |
| A27045 | Or is it necessary to their salvation? |
| A27045 | Or is it no Schism, unless willfull? |
| A27045 | Or was he so silly as not to know that this might have been retorted on him? |
| A27045 | Purposely opening the true nature of the Catholick Church for the stating of the Case, saith,[ Quaestio certè inter nos versatur, ubi sit Ecclesia? |
| A27045 | Quid ergo facturi sumus? |

| A27045 | So what doth it concern my Salvation to know whether the Church of Rome be now a true particular Church? |
| A27045 | Tell me now whether you said true in the Paragraph about the Title Vice- Christ? |
| A27045 | The Pope can punish the Bishop of Antioch: But how? |
| A27045 | The foundation of all our controversie is doctrinal, whether the Papal Soveraignty be Essential to the Church? |
| A27045 | Therefore the Question between us should not be, when it ceased, but when it begun to be such a Capital Ruling Church, Essential to the whole? |
| A27045 | Urge them with this as a granted truth, till they had renounced it? |
| A27045 | WHether the Church of which the Protestants are members have been visible ever since the daies of Christ on earth? |
| A27045 | Was Gregory Thaumaturgus no Bishop, because when he came first to Neocaesarea, he had but seventeen souls in his charge? |
| A27045 | Was not a Baptized person in the primitive and ancient Churches a true Church- member, presently upon Baptism? |
| A27045 | Was not the Church then purely Protestant in their Religion? |
| A27045 | Was the Popes Legate the whole Catholick Church? |

| A27045 | Which of these is it that you deny? |
| A27045 | Who will believe a Saint to be so diabolical, that calls it an imitation of the Devil? |
| A27045 | Why did not all the precedent Roman Bishops disclaim the title of universal Bishop or Patriarch, till Pelagius and Gregory? |
| A27045 | Why exclude you the chief Pastors, that depend on none? |
| A27045 | Why may not the Donatists, the Novatians, or the Greeks( much more) do so as well as Papists? |
| A27045 | Will any Diocess serve ad esse? |

| A27045 | Will esteeming them fit, serve turn though they be unfit? |
| A27045 | Will it follow that if the Eucharist be not Accidental or integral, but Essential, that therefore every thing Instituted by Christ is Essentiall? |
| A27045 | Would you have my proof? |
| A27045 | Would you know then where our Church, that is, the Catholike Church hath been, in all ages? |
| A27045 | You ask,[ Were those Primitive Christians of another kind of Church order and Government then were those under the Roman Empire?] |
| A27045 | You ask[ were they different Congregations?] |
| A27045 | You next enquire whether[ we account] Rome and us One Congregation of Christians?] |
| A27045 | You say Cyril would not break off Communion with Nestorius till Celestine had condemned him; of this you give us no proof: But what if it be true? |
| A27045 | [ See how this Minister of the Devil is beside himself, and would draw us with him into the ditch of perdition? |
| A27045 | [ When every Sect pretend that they have the true Church and Ministry, who shall judge?] |
| A27045 | am I bound to believe in his authority? |

| A27045 | and by how many? |
| A27045 | and by whom ad esse? |
| A27045 | and did that prove that Rome was subject to Constantinople? |
| A27045 | and did those Heathen Emperors give it him? |
| A27045 | and drew both your selves and their other subjects from all subjection to them, and communion with them? |
| A27045 | and if jure divino, whether mediately or immediately? |
| A27045 | and if not, why the contempt or rejection of a drunken Priest doth it, while all the rest are( perhaps too much) honoured? |
| A27045 | and many such like? |
| A27045 | and never opened it to the auditors, till they were Baptized? |
| A27045 | and so whether it hath been from the beginning? |

| A27045 | and who are these Pastors? |
| A27045 | and why pretend you to believe Generall Councils? |
| A27045 | and yet deny not the Veracity of God,( no nor of the Church?) |

| A27045 | doth he blame them after in other Epistles that gave him that Title? |
| A27045 | even to subject all Christs Members to one, as an Universal Patriarch or Bishop? |
| A27045 | how is it possible? |
| A27045 | how shall I then be sure of his authority that is ordained? |
| A27045 | in Verbis nostris eam quaesituri? |

| A27045 | must you have their names, sirnames, and Genealogies? |
| A27045 | or any controversie between us and them to be decided? |
| A27045 | or had intentionem ordinandi? |
| A27045 | or may not many of those proofs be valid which you have seen, though you esteem them not so? |
| A27045 | or necessary to our membership? |
| A27045 | or were they quite different Congregations? |
| A27045 | or who must elect him ad esse? |
| A27045 | quid de proprio intulimus, ut aliquid contrarium ei& in Scripturis deprehensum, detractione vel adjectione vel transumtatione remediaremus? |

| A27045 | that all the Church hath been guiltless of the Papal usurpation, or only some in every age? |
| A27045 | therefore he was Governour of all the Christian world? |
| A27045 | those cease when the persons die; or do you mean assemblies meeting in the same place? |
| A27045 | upon the denyal of common principles and sence? |
| A27045 | utrum apud nos, an apud illos? |
| A27045 | were they the same which you nominated first, or others? |
| A27045 | were they the same which you nominated in the beginning, and made one Congregation with them? |
| A27045 | what Election, or Consecration is necessary thereto? |
| A27045 | what am I the wiser by your saying many more incomparably, when you tell me not what, or who they were? |
| A27045 | what if I be utterly ignorant whether he that ordained him, were himself ordained? |
| A27045 | what if it be but in particular Assemblies? |
| A27045 | what more? |
| A27045 | what opportunity have ordinary Christians to compare them, and discern the moral advantages on each side? |
| A27045 | when Menna Bishop of Constantinople excommunicated Pope Vigilius, was he not even with him? |
| A27045 | whose whole institution of the Church office, specially the old one, was invented and approved by him? |
| A27045 | why possessed you your selves of the Bishopricks and Cures of your own Prelates and Pastors, they yet living in Queen Elizabeths time? |
| A27045 | will you say you meant in voto? |
| A27045 | would you have the Communion of our Ashes, or else say, We forsake your Communion? |
| A27045 | yea, whether it be not much more that hath been given and accepted? |
| A27045 | — Quaestio est, ubi sit hoc corpus, i. e. ubi sit Ecclesia? |
| A27038 | 1. Who should be first served? |
| A27038 | 2. Who are his Angels? |
| A27038 | A merciful Judge will hang a man for a fault against man: By proportion then what is due for sin against God? |
| A27038 | All the death and calamity which you see in the world, comes from the anger of this merciful God: why then may not future misery come from it? |
| A27038 | And are Love and Delight such grievous things? |
| A27038 | And can you think that we should be for any one against our Maker and Redeemer? |
| A27038 | And can you think that you shall not hear of this again, and pay for it one day? |
| A27038 | And did it not seem as unlikely to you, that his word should be false? |
| A27038 | And did you not hear these things read to you in the Congregation by the Minister? |
| A27038 | And did you think so basely and blasphemously of God, that he would falsifie his word, lest such as you should suffer? |
| A27038 | And do you think the undermining enemies of the Church have not a special Design upon you in this point? |
| A27038 | And do you think you shall not hear of this? |
| A27038 | And how importunate should we all be with sinners for their Conversion, when we consider that themselves also must shortly be Judged? |
| A27038 | And if Christ be not obeyed, what a stir will conscience make? |
| A27038 | And if my will were not free, ● ow could I choose but sin? |
| A27038 | And is it not Reason, that it should go worse with contemptuous sinners, then with those creatures that never sinned? |
| A27038 | And is it not just with God to make these friends their familiars in Torment, with whom they entertained such familiarity in sin? |
| A27038 | And is not hell worse then the hardest way to heaven? |
| A27038 | And might you not have gone where a powerful Minister was with a little pains? |
| A27038 | And might you not have had a Bible your ● elves, and found them there? |
| A27038 | And must you not much more use diligence in much greater things? |
| A27038 | And now their time is past, what is it? |
| A27038 | And shall not the Judge of all the earth judge righteously? |
| A27038 | And should men be imitated, be they many or be they few, in such a course as this? |
| A27038 | And should not a matter then that so concerneth thy self, go neer to thy heart, and awake thee from thy security? |
| A27038 | And the Judge may thus expostulate with them,[ Did all these mercies deserve no more Thanks? |
| A27038 | And to be out of heaven is to be out of all Happiness? |
| A27038 | And was it wise or equal dealing to pref ● rr your lusts before that glory? |
| A27038 | And was not Heaven worth the enduring of a scorn? |
| A27038 | And were you not as earnestly perswaded by God to forsake sin and serve him, and yet that would not prevail with you? |
| A27038 | And what did God entice you with? |
| A27038 | And what the better was he? |
| A27038 | And whose threatning should you have chiefly feared? |
| A27038 | And why did you not hearken to God that ent ● ced you the other way? |
| A27038 | And why is this so? |
| A27038 | And why might not you have done so, if you had been as industrious as they? |
| A27038 | And why then might not godlyness have been your ease and recreation? |
| A27038 | And will you despise them all? |
| A27038 | And will you wilfully sin, and think to scape because God doth not hinder you? |
| A27038 | And yet wouldst thou now perswade the Judge that thou didst Love God above all? |
| A27038 | And yet you have his written word that speaks plainer then all these? |
| A27038 | Before you venture on them, enquire whether they will bear weight in Judgement, and be sweet or bitter when they are brought to tryal? |
| A27038 | But I have not Power of myself to do any thing that is good: What can the creature do? |
| A27038 | But Whither must they Depart? |
| A27038 | But alas ▪ If we should be so foolish and unjust, what good would it do you? |
| A27038 | But are you excusable if he do not? |
| A27038 | But did he not also give you Reason to govern that Appetite? |
| A27038 | But didst thou according ● y value him, and love him more? |
| A27038 | But didst thou regard it accordingly? |
| A27038 | But how shall Heathens be judged by the Law of grace, that never did Receive it? |
| A27038 | But how shall Infants be judged by the Gospel, that were uncapable of it? |
| A27038 | But if Christ have satisfied for my sins, and dyed for me, then how can I justly suffer for the same sins? |
| A27038 | But if men will not hear, and there be no remedy, who can help it? |
| A27038 | But seeing thou art also guilty of those special sins which he never shed his blood for, who shall deliver thee from that Accusation? |
| A27038 | But the last Question which must decide the Controversie will be, whether we have performed the condition of the Gospel? |
| A27038 | But what if the way to heaven had been harder then it was? |
| A27038 | But who be they that are ready? |
| A27038 | But why is it called a fire prepared for the Devil and his Angels? |
| A27038 | Can foolish sinners think to lie hid or escape at that day, that will now sin wilfully before their Judge? |
| A27038 | Can he not Awe them by Truth? |
| A27038 | Could not God requite your labour or sufferings? |
| A27038 | Could you expect that those should come to heaven, that would not believe there was such a state, but refused it, and preferred the world before it? |
| A27038 | Could you have taken no time from your rest, or eating or at other intermissions? |
| A27038 | Could you think with any Reason, that you should do so much for a life of a few years continuance and do no more for a life that shall have no end? |
| A27038 | DO you soundly Believe this Doctrine which I have preached to you? |
| A27038 | Dare you doubt of this which the God of Heaven hath so positively affirmed? |
| A27038 | Despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to Repentance? |
| A27038 | Did God hide these things from you? |
| A27038 | Did God make the world so easily? |
| A27038 | Did Gods word make Heaven and Earth? |
| A27038 | Did he not stand by you when you were in your cups, and lustful Pleasures? |
| A27038 | Did he not tell you of the danger, and offer you far better things, if you would obey him and despise those baits? |
| A27038 | Did not God also threaten you with everlasting Death, if you were not ruled by him? |
| A27038 | Did not God purpose also to manifest the Glory of his Remunerative Justice? |
| A27038 | Did the knees of King Belshazzar knock together with trembling, when he saw the hand- writing on the wall? |
| A27038 | Did you doubt of his will, or of his power? |
| A27038 | Did you joyn with the godly so far as they are all agreed? |
| A27038 | Did you know where was any better security to be had? |
| A27038 | Did you not feel pain and misery begin in this life? |
| A27038 | Did you spend no time in Recreation, nor Idleness, nor vain talking? |
| A27038 | Did you think God was no wiser then you, and understood not himself, because you understood him not? |
| A27038 | Didst thou attend diligently on the word in publike, and think of what thou heardest when thou camest home? |
| A27038 | Didst thou go to the Minister, or to others that could teach thee, and intreat them to tell thee the way to salvation? |
| A27038 | Didst thou pray daily for it to God? |
| A27038 | Didst thou use all the means thou couldest to get it? |
| A27038 | Do not you use to ask this of your own hearts? |
| A27038 | Do we desire this sad fruit of our Labours? |
| A27038 | Do you think this will not one day cost you dear? |
| A27038 | Doth any Repent when they come to Heaven ▪ that it cost them so dear to come thither? |
| A27038 | Doth it support them, and secure them ▪ And is not his word sufficient security for you to have trusted your souls upon? |
| A27038 | Especially when thou art every hour uncertain whether thou shalt see another hour, and not be presently snatch away by death? |
| A27038 | FOR the fourth particular; VVho will be the Accuser? |
| A27038 | FOR the seventh Head, VVhat will be the cause of the day to be enquired after? |
| A27038 | FOR the sixth particular, What Law is it that men shall be Iudged by? |
| A27038 | FOR the third point, Who are they that must be Judged? |
| A27038 | For he knoweth vain man; he seeth wickedness also, and will he not consider it? |
| A27038 | For how should it be? |
| A27038 | For the poor creature to stand before his Maker and Redeemer, to be Judged to Everlasting Joy or Torment? |
| A27038 | Friend, how camest ▪ thou in hither, not having on a wedding garment? |
| A27038 | From whom? |
| A27038 | God or man? |
| A27038 | God thought not all these too good for you, and did you think your hearts and services too good for him? |
| A27038 | God will make us Judge you,& witness against you: Can we absolve you, when the righteous God will condemn you? |
| A27038 | Hath God given you no means towards the cure of this disability, which you have neglected? |
| A27038 | Hath not God been merciful to thee, in bearing with thee so long, and offering thee Grace in the blood of Christ, till thou didst wilfully reject it? |
| A27038 | Have you not seen some of your neighbors, who were as ill educated as your selves, attain to much knowledge afterwards by their Industry? |
| A27038 | He served you with the weary labours of your fellow- creatures: and should you have grudged to bear his easie Yoak? |
| A27038 | He told you it was an enemy that tempted you: and would you hearken to an enemy? |
| A27038 | How can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? |
| A27038 | How canst thou live merrily, or sleep quietly in such a Condition, as if thou shouldst dye in it, thou shouldst perish for ever? |
| A27038 | How could I be saved if Christ did not dye for me? |
| A27038 | How familiarly doth Satan use their tongues, in cursing, swearing, lying, ribaldry, backbiting, or slandering? |
| A27038 | How then can a little misery on earth prevent it? |
| A27038 | How then should thy heart be affected that seeth the hand- writing of God as a summons to his barr? |
| A27038 | I say, doth this man Believe that he is going to this Judgement? |
| A27038 | If I shall tell you what you must do for preparation, shall I not lose my labour? |
| A27038 | If any first demand, Whether the Evidence of their sin will not so overwhelm the sinner, that he will be speechless and past excuse? |
| A27038 | If any foolish Infidel shall say, VVhere shall so great a number stand? |
| A27038 | If you have the face to say, Lord, when did we see thee hungry? |
| A27038 | If you knew not better, who was it long of but your self? |
| A27038 | If you say, Why can not God find out a remedy for this sin, as well as he did for the first? |
| A27038 | If you trust God, shew any word of Promise that ever he gave you to trust upon, that ever an Impenitent, Carnal, Careless person shall be saved? |
| A27038 | Is death more terrible then Hell? |
| A27038 | Is it all one to wrong you, and to wrong the God of Heaven? |
| A27038 | Is man more dreadful than God? |
| A27038 | Is not he Better, and more Lovely then all these? |
| A27038 | Is not he worthy to go without it that thinks so basely of it? |
| A27038 | Is not that man even worse then mad ▪ that is going to Gods Judgement and never thinks of it? |
| A27038 | Is that a friend or a servant worthy to be regarded, that will disobey you, or betray you as oft as he is tempted to it? |
| A27038 | Is this a matter to be forgotten? |
| A27038 | Is this the thanks that God hath for his mercies? |
| A27038 | It was God that let loose the Devil to Tempt me; and he was too subtile for me to deal with: and therefore what wonder if I sinned, and were overcome? |
| A27038 | Look back man, upon thy heart and Life Hovv seldom and hovv neglectfully didst thou think of God? |
| A27038 | Look now upon all the course of thy life, and see whether thou didst live to me, or to the world and thy flesh? |
| A27038 | Look upon thy own heart now, and see whether it be a holy or an unholy heart; a spiritual or a fleshly heart; a heavenly or an earthly heart? |
| A27038 | MY next Question is, Whether are you ready for this dreadful Judgement when it comes, or not? |
| A27038 | MY next Question is, Whether you do ever soberly consider of this great day? |
| A27038 | MY next Question to you, is ▪ How are you affected with the Consideration of this day? |
| A27038 | Mans body will not endure so great labours as have no Intermission? |
| A27038 | Many a time did we intreat them to try whether they were Regenerate or not? |
| A27038 | May not God and Conscience witness, that it was because you cared not for knowledge, and would not be at the pains to get it, that you knew no more? |
| A27038 | Must God either be Ignorant of what you will do, or else be the cause of it? |
| A27038 | Must the raw unexperienced Learner despise his book or Teacher, as oft as in his ignorance he thinks he meets with contradictions? |
| A27038 | Nor Christ that came purposely from heaven to reveal them? |
| A27038 | Nor could reconcile his own words, because you could not reconcile them? |
| A27038 | O Sirs, what shift do you make to keep your souls from Continual Terrours, as long as you remain unready for Judgement? |
| A27038 | Or at least, did you not live neer some that could Read? |
| A27038 | Or didst thou not rather carelesly neglect these matters; and hear a Sermon as a common tale, even when the minister was speaking of Heaven or Hell? |
| A27038 | Or from a Thief or Murderer? |
| A27038 | Or if you could, yet it was Gods Law, and not mens faults, that was made the Rule for you to live by: Will it excuse you that others are bad? |
| A27038 | Or might you not have minded these things, even when you were about your labour, if you had but a heart to them? |
| A27038 | Or rather have death, which is nothing, as the just Reward of it? |
| A27038 | Or rather think him the more unfit for mercy? |
| A27038 | Or will you now set your selves with all your might, to make preparation for so great a day? |
| A27038 | See here thy own unholy soul, canst thou now say thou didst love me above all? |
| A27038 | Shall every man be false to God, that hath any bait to entice him from him? |
| A27038 | Should we lie, and say we did not? |
| A27038 | Sin is no Being: and shall men be damned for that which is nothing? |
| A27038 | Sirs, do you use when you are alone to think with your selves ▪ how certain and how dreadful it will be? |
| A27038 | Speak truth, man, in the presence of thy Judge, was thy heart and mind set upon it? |
| A27038 | THE next point in our method, is, to shew you, What will be the Evidence of the Cause? |
| A27038 | THE ninth part of our work, is to shew you, What are those frivolous excuses by which the unrighteous may then endeavour their defence? |
| A27038 | Tell me, is it so, or not? |
| A27038 | The like must be Remembred in the very manner of our Duties; How diligently should a Minister study? |
| A27038 | They that tryed them, found them the very Joy and Delight of their souls, and why could not you do so? |
| A27038 | They were your slaves and drudges, and you refused to be his free servants and his sons? |
| A27038 | Thou sure knewest that God was better then the world, and Heaven then earth; at least, thou wast told of it? |
| A27038 | Thou ● newest that the soul was better then the body, and everlasting life more to be regarded, then this transitory life? |
| A27038 | V. FOR the fifth particular, How will the sinners be called to the Barr? |
| A27038 | VVhat the Accusation, and what the Defence? |
| A27038 | W ● ll you not believe till you see or feel? |
| A27038 | Was it not a Gross sin, to love the world above God, and to neglect Christ that dyed for thee? |
| A27038 | Was it not also prepared for wicked men? |
| A27038 | Was there no more in Gods intention when he elected some, then the manifestation of the riches of his glorious grace? |
| A27038 | We must either condemn the Sentence of Jesus Christ, or condemn you: and is not there more reason to condemn you then him? |
| A27038 | Were not Ministers as earnest with you every week to repent and amend? |
| A27038 | What did men entice you with? |
| A27038 | What else have you to do, but to provide for everlasting? |
| A27038 | What if they threatned you with present Death? |
| A27038 | What if we tell you 20 years together that you must dye, will you not believe us, because you have lived so long and seen no death coming? |
| A27038 | What is this Divel that hath Angels? |
| A27038 | What matter can be mentioned with the Tongue of man of greater moment? |
| A27038 | What say you Sirs? |
| A27038 | What say you Sirs? |
| A27038 | What say you, Did not God tell you all this and much more? |
| A27038 | What was there but your own wicked hearts that should make such a life seem grievous to you? |
| A27038 | What would you have us say, if God ask us, Did you tell this sinner of the need of Christ, of the glory of the world to come, and the vanity of this? |
| A27038 | What? |
| A27038 | When was it prepared for them? |
| A27038 | Where the enquiry is made to be, whether they have fed and visited him in his members, or not? |
| A27038 | Whether their souls were brought back to God by Sanctification? |
| A27038 | Who are these? |
| A27038 | Why did you not so far then agree with them? |
| A27038 | Will you do no more than you have done hitherto? |
| A27038 | Will you resolve and promise in the strength of Grace, that you will faithfully and speedily endeavour to practise it, whoever shall gainsay it? |
| A27038 | Will you take this for a good Excuse from your children or servants, if they abuse you? |
| A27038 | Yea did not the very plain word which you heard read, tell you of these things? |
| A27038 | Yea further, answer as in the presence of God: Didst thou Obey so far as thou d ● dst know? |
| A27038 | Yea when he that dyed for you, will condemn you, shall we be more merciful then God? |
| A27038 | Yea, and to do you no good, when we know that lyes will not prevail with God? |
| A27038 | You forget what helps he afforded you to discover the wiles of Satan, and to vanquish the Temptation? |
| A27038 | You have Ministers at hand ▪ why do you not go to them ▪ and earnestly ask them ▪ Sir, What must I do to be saved? |
| A27038 | You have the Bible, and other good books by you: why do you not read them? |
| A27038 | You see not God: will you not therefore Believe that there is a God? |
| A27038 | You will then Remember, that to this end he both d ● ed, rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the Dead and the Living? |
| A27038 | You would be afraid now to meet him in the dark; what will you be to live with him in everlasting darkness? |
| A27038 | and can he not Govern it by true and righteous means ▪ what need God to say that which he will not do, to awe sinners? |
| A27038 | and could you not have procured them to read to you, or to help you? |
| A27038 | and did you obey as much as you knew? |
| A27038 | and did you pray daily that God would lead you into the Truth? |
| A27038 | and neglect him without whom you can not subsist? |
| A27038 | and never do him one hours hearty service, but meerly to seek thy carnal self, and live to thy flesh? |
| A27038 | and now and then bethink your selves soberly whether these are matters for wise men to make light of? |
| A27038 | and plainly tell it you? |
| A27038 | and serve thy flesh and lusts, though I told thee if thou didst so thou shouldst dye? |
| A27038 | and that he was fain to rule the world by a Lye? |
| A27038 | and the Revelation of his will to guide that Reason? |
| A27038 | and think much of all that thou d ● dst therein? |
| A27038 | and to banish all thoughts of returning to God, and to quench every motion that tendeth to their recovery? |
| A27038 | and to suffer vile sinful dust to despise his mercy, and abuse his patience, and turn all his Creatures against him, without due punishment? |
| A27038 | and to use means to sustain your own bodies and others, of purpose for this work, till it be happily done? |
| A27038 | and we are almost at the barr, and it is so short a time to this Assize, what soul that is not dead will be secure? |
| A27038 | and were you willing to know, even those Truths that called you out to self denyal, and that did put you on the hardest flesh displeasing duties? |
| A27038 | and what answer you mean to make at that day? |
| A27038 | and what you shall do? |
| A27038 | and where was any surer ground for your confidence? |
| A27038 | and whether the world will be then as sweet as now? |
| A27038 | and whether this be the best preparation for your Tryal? |
| A27038 | and whether time be no more worth to one that is so neer eternity, and must make so strict an account of his Hours? |
| A27038 | and will not promote it as far as is in their power? |
| A27038 | and would you have us bring your blood upon our own heads by a lye? |
| A27038 | are your minds taken up with these considerations? |
| A27038 | can we have any mercy on you, when he that made you will not save you, and he that formed you, will shew you no mercy? |
| A27038 | canst thou deny but thou didst love this world before me? |
| A27038 | from what? |
| A27038 | hovv carelessly didst thou serve him? |
| A27038 | hovv coldly didst thou vvorship him, or make any mention of him? |
| A27038 | how earnestly should he perswade? |
| A27038 | how fast it is coming on? |
| A27038 | how many a soul that is now in heaven or hell, within a 1000 years dwelt in the places that you now dwell in, and sate in the seats you now sit in? |
| A27038 | how shall I know whether I be ready or not? |
| A27038 | how speedily is it come? |
| A27038 | how unable then shall we be against Gods Sentence to Justifie you? |
| A27038 | how unwearyedly should he bear all oppositions and ungrateful returns? |
| A27038 | or might have done if you would? |
| A27038 | shall God, and his Ministers speak in vain? |
| A27038 | shall every Murderer or Thief escape hanging, because the Devil was too cunning for him in his Temptations? |
| A27038 | shall he escape by telling the Judge that his sin was Nothing? |
| A27038 | should you not have served him that so liberally maintained you? |
| A27038 | was not Gods word so plainly written, that the unlearned might understand it? |
| A27038 | was not Gods word sufficient Evidence? |
| A27038 | was not heaven worth your labor? |
| A27038 | were you afraid of being a loser by it? |
| A27038 | what is a little time when it is gone? |
| A27038 | what should be first sought after, Heaven or Earth? |
| A27038 | what should we say if he ask us, Did not you tell them the misery of their natural state; and what would become of them if they were not made new? |
| A27038 | when God is against you, whose side would you have us be of? |
| A27038 | when he that entrusted you with the care of your children and servants, shall call you to a reckoning for the performance of that trust? |
| A27038 | whether Christ and his Spirit were in them, or not? |
| A27038 | why might not that at least have been spent about heavenly things? |
| A27038 | why then did not these take as much with you as the other? |
| A27038 | will God punish one sin twice? |
| A27038 | will will you live to his dishonour who giveth you your Lives? |
| A27038 | will you abuse him, by whom it is that you are men? |
| A27038 | will you excuse your child or friend, if he would be false to you, upon as great enticements as these? |
| A27038 | will you not hear so loud and constant calls? |
| A27038 | will you not see so great a Light? |
| A27038 | will you speak to his dishonor, that giveth you your speech? |
| A27038 | will you therefore wrong God, because you see others wrong him? |
| A27038 | will you wrong him by his own creatures? |
| A27038 | with a little deluding fleshly pleasure for a few daies? |
| A27038 | would you have believed one from the dead that had told you he had seen such things? |
| A27038 | would you have the Jury or the Judge to take this for a good excuse? |
| A27038 | would you have us lye to God, and say we did not? |
| A27038 | would you spit in the face of your own Father, if you saw others do so? |
| A27038 | would you think it a good excuse, if the rest should do the like, because of their example? |
| A27038 | you are not troubled now at his presence ▪ and power your hearts, but will you not then be troubled at his presence, and tormenting power? |
| A27029 | & c. against that sin that will not hurt the Elect that then lived? |
| A27029 | & c. of things that can not hurt the Elect? |
| A27029 | 2, and 3. against things that are so harmless? |
| A27029 | 25 ▪ 〈 ◊ 〉 nolle punire or non punire a pardoning of sin? |
| A27029 | 77,& c. for that which did them no hurt? |
| A27029 | A ● d do they think, when we perswade them to Pray, that we perswade them to continue Impenitent? |
| A27029 | And are all Christ''s threatnings against himself, which are against us? |
| A27029 | And are they not required of us? |
| A27029 | And are those usually the wisest: Who is the Judge, now in the Turks Dominions? |
| A27029 | And can not we receive this plain Gospel, without spinning so many additional webs of our own? |
| A27029 | And did he call Faith, Works? |
| A27029 | And did not his Malice so work against Job, though God contradicted him? |
| A27029 | And do they tell us with any agreement what Righteousness of Christ they call Imputed? |
| A27029 | And doth not Paul most plainly and frequently say, we are Justified by it? |
| A27029 | And first we must enquire what Covenant he is a Sponsor of? |
| A27029 | And for whom is this s ● ● n so solemnly produced? |
| A27029 | And here, will not each man have right to anothers House, Wife, Food, Goods, if they are but one Person? |
| A27029 | And how few be there in the world, that embody not with some Sect or Faction, for the promoting of their Opinions? |
| A27029 | And how few that do not over- vilifie and wrong those from whom they differ? |
| A27029 | And how small a part of the Earth is so happy as to have the major part of the Clergy, wise, sound, honest and orthodox? |
| A27029 | And if but one, which is it? |
| A27029 | And if it be a Miracle, and as great a one as Christ''s Resurrection, How can any believer doubt at all? |
| A27029 | And if this be no subordinate Righteousness, what doth the word signify so many hundred times used in the Scripture? |
| A27029 | And if we are never the better for Love, Thanks, and Praises to God on earth, what the better shall we be for them in Heaven? |
| A27029 | And is not Faith a humane Act? |
| A27029 | And is not Satan the Accuser of the Brethren, and that before God? |
| A27029 | And is not that ours which is within us? |
| A27029 | And is that as great a Miracle as Christ''s Resurrection, that is wrought by so rational a means, used by man? |
| A27029 | And is this Kingdom and Divine Nature, nothing but that which Christ did without us, imputed to be done by us? |
| A27029 | And must we not be judged by this Law? |
| A27029 | And now tell me, whether there were ever damnable Hereticks in the World, if these be none? |
| A27029 | And of how ill a constitution is such a blind and partial conscience? |
| A27029 | And shall it not be imputed to him? |
| A27029 | And the other part of the Cause of that day, is, whether we have part in Christ, and the Merits of his Righteousness? |
| A27029 | And therefore Christs Righteousness is ever connoted when we talk of Faith: For what is the very Specification of the Act but the Object? |
| A27029 | And to take Righteousness to stand against Free Grace, if it be but our own? |
| A27029 | And what do they exercise strictness for, by thier self devised terms of their Church- Communion? |
| A27029 | And what is the meaning of all such Texts? |
| A27029 | And what would such a Nation come to? |
| A27029 | And whence is it that this sign of Election is prerequisite, but that Gods precept made it a duty, and the promise a condition? |
| A27029 | And where he giveth Grace which causeth the Act it self, did God Promise, it before hand to that man any more than to others? |
| A27029 | And where more erroneous, or more cruel? |
| A27029 | And whether Faith in God the Father, and the Holy Ghost, do justifie? |
| A27029 | And whether according to the Law of Innocency, he that had no sin or guilt of Commission or Omission, had not right to the Life there given? |
| A27029 | And whether to affirm it be not to equal it with Faith? |
| A27029 | And who think you will be Judge who shall suffer as Hereticks? |
| A27029 | And why is Faith named if it have no part in the Sense? |
| A27029 | And why would they have men read their Books, to do no good, and avoid no evil? |
| A27029 | And will not Christians know that Work and Doctrine of Gods Spirit in them? |
| A27029 | And will not Christians read the Bible? |
| A27029 | And will not God reckon him righteous that is righteous? |
| A27029 | And will not distinct personality continue to Men, as well as to Angels for ever? |
| A27029 | And, whether we have Right to the Heavenly Inheritance? |
| A27029 | Are Christ''s Graces his dishonour? |
| A27029 | Are any works of man meritorious? |
| A27029 | Are any works of man meritorious? |
| A27029 | Are regenerate believers, under any guilt of any but corrective punishment, or should ask pardon of any other? |
| A27029 | Are we not righteous by being one with Christ, as we are sinners by Vnion with Adam? |
| A27029 | Are we not under the Law[ of Christ and Faith, and Liberty] to Christ? |
| A27029 | As a sign? |
| A27029 | As an Antecedent? |
| A27029 | But how is it that God promiseth the Condition it self? |
| A27029 | But if they defend them, they are Hereticks: For how else shall we know whether they deny not Fundamentals? |
| A27029 | But is their chosen Metaphor[ of Going out, and Going to] an Act or no Act? |
| A27029 | But it was their sin once, before it was Christs sin? |
| A27029 | But stay a little: Is the condition promised to all that the conditional promise is made to? |
| A27029 | But we have no such Righteousness a ● they thus feign; when the Question is, whether we are s ● nners? |
| A27029 | But what Ignorance is it? |
| A27029 | But what remedy? |
| A27029 | But where doth the Scripture say so? |
| A27029 | By this Rule, we shall judge none Hereticks, but Infidels; f ● r who will ● xpresly renounce Christianity but they? |
| A27029 | Can any man judge 〈 ◊ 〉 hardly of men that overthr ● w all Religion? |
| A27029 | Can that do no hurt to the Elect, that maketh such calamitous Confusions in the World? |
| A27029 | Could ● e be Godly that said a ● d did so ● u ● h against the Truth, and so much to draw men t ● his Errors? |
| A27029 | Did Christ redeem us from under his own Government, and the Law of Grace? |
| A27029 | Did God send the Jews into Captivity to Babylon for sins that do the Elect no hurt; even for penitent Manasses''s sins? |
| A27029 | Did Paul call himself mad against the Saints, unworthy to be called an Apostle, a wretched man, for that which did him no hurt? |
| A27029 | Do they Excommunicate Christ for sin? |
| A27029 | Do those Churches exercise Discipline upon such as are one Person with Christ? |
| A27029 | Do those works save us that do not justify us? |
| A27029 | Do you mean that guilt resulteth from Gods part of the Covenant, or from Adams, or from his Posterities? |
| A27029 | Doth Christs Righteousness cause our Sanctification, in the same sort of Causality as it causeth our Justification? |
| A27029 | Doth Satan overcome him, when ever he overcometh us? |
| A27029 | Doth faith justify as a righteousness? |
| A27029 | Doth he command a Father to correct Christ, when he commandeth him to correct his Children? |
| A27029 | Doth he take Gods Word for his rule; or will he shame himself by saying that in all these God speaketh unfitly, and that he can mend his Language? |
| A27029 | Doth it cure Atheism, Infidelity, Drunkeness, Lust, though all Preachers condemn them? |
| A27029 | Doth not Christs righteousness cause our Sanctification in the same sort of causality as it causeth our Justification? |
| A27029 | Doth not this opinion contradict every Article of the Creed, every Petition in the Lords Prayer, and everyone of the Ten Commandements? |
| A27029 | For if Adam had merited his own glorification had not his works been both the meritorious cause, and the material? |
| A27029 | For who should accuse us? |
| A27029 | Hast thou been a Despiser of Government, a Despiser of thy Parents, a Murtherer, an Adulterer, a Thief, a Lyar, a Drunkard? |
| A27029 | Hath Justification and Salvation the same conditions? |
| A27029 | Have you read Islebius, that turned from Antinomianism to be a Papist Bishop, and helpt to rectifie Luther''s Phrase, by calling him to oppose him? |
| A27029 | Have you read Luther on the Galathians? |
| A27029 | He that doth righteousness is righteous? |
| A27029 | He was not an antecedent surety, but a consequent? |
| A27029 | Here comes in also the Controversie whether Repentance be any Condition of Pardon, or Justification? |
| A27029 | How and why then is this called a Law of works? |
| A27029 | How can faith and repentance give a right to the righteousness of Christ, which must first give us that faith and repentance? |
| A27029 | How can faith or repentance entitle us to that righteousness of Christ which must first give us a right to themselves and all Grace? |
| A27029 | How can that hurt any other Elect Person, that hurteth not the sinner himself? |
| A27029 | How doth he bring us to God? |
| A27029 | How far are we under the Law; and how far not? |
| A27029 | How is that Habit quae Justificat, when they say only Reception by its Instrumentality Justifieth; and that''s only the Act? |
| A27029 | How many Bishops and Conformists in England, have held, and written unjustifiable words about Justification? |
| A27029 | How vain hath peaceable Dr. Wilkins attempt of an Universal Character proved? |
| A27029 | I pass by the Controversie which Mr. Gataker most insisteth on, Whether to deliver from Death, and to give Life, be not all one? |
| A27029 | I will tell you how; Ask him first, whether he believe the Fundamental Truth? |
| A27029 | If all that Christ hath, be already ours, and we are as perfect as he, what can Duty, or more Grace, or Heaven, add to us? |
| A27029 | If all the Ministers in England subscribe a detestation of gross ignorance and pride, do you think it would cure them? |
| A27029 | If but to some, to whom? |
| A27029 | If he say, yea: Ask him whether if he knew that his Consequence contradicted or subverted it, which of the two he would let go? |
| A27029 | If it be no hurt to be mad, what is Bedlam good for? |
| A27029 | If then he attained the design of Christianity, was he not a Christian? |
| A27029 | If thou dost well shalt thou not be accepted? |
| A27029 | In my Life of Faith, I have clearly explained it: And must I expect no Answer, and yet do all again? |
| A27029 | In the Tenor or Mode of the Promise, and that maketh it it''s Condition: In what other respect do they( exclusively) feign it necessary? |
| A27029 | In what sense is Christs Righteousness imputed to us? |
| A27029 | Is Gods accepting Christs righteousness for us, the imputing of it? |
| A27029 | Is Pardon and Justification perfect the first moment? |
| A27029 | Is Pardon and Justification perfect the first moment? |
| A27029 | Is Prayer only a Thanksgiving? |
| A27029 | Is a man after his regeneration and Faith, ever obliged to any but temporal punishments, or need to ask pardon of any other? |
| A27029 | Is any more necessary to the keeping or not losing our Justification, than to its beginning? |
| A27029 | Is any one punished for pardoned sin? |
| A27029 | Is any one punished for sin that is pardoned? |
| A27029 | Is any thing plainer in all the Gospel? |
| A27029 | Is faith, and is repentance no means? |
| A27029 | Is future sin pardoned before? |
| A27029 | Is glorifying God inconsistent with seeking to be saved? |
| A27029 | Is his Law made for himself, that is made for us? |
| A27029 | Is it a matter of boasting that God commandeth when he commandeth us to repent and believe the Gospel? |
| A27029 | Is it no greater Mercy and Grace, to make us like our Saviour in Holiness, and Gods Image, and the Divine Nature, than not? |
| A27029 | Is it no hurt accordingly to have the less of Glory in Heaven? |
| A27029 | Is it no hurt to have Faith, Love, Desire, and Joy, weak, and to have still the remnants of unbelief, and other such like sins? |
| A27029 | Is it no hurt to live and dye in terrible fear of Gods displeasure, and in doubts of our everlasting state? |
| A27029 | Is it no hurt to lose some degrees of Love and Holiness, which we have had? |
| A27029 | Is it not a vile abuse of his Grace, to contemn it, because it is our own? |
| A27029 | Is it not as it is the Perso ● s Faith? |
| A27029 | Is it not then too little, if it must be the Idem, and not the Aequivalens? |
| A27029 | Is it not unjust to punish him that Christ died for, even one sin twice? |
| A27029 | Is it possible, that that which is evil, and the greatest evil it self, can be in us, and done by us, and do us no hurt? |
| A27029 | Is it the Fa ● and not the Person that is to be judged? |
| A27029 | Is it to be the opposers of all Gods Laws? |
| A27029 | Is it to make up any imperfection in the Obedience or Righteousness of Christ? |
| A27029 | Is it true that Christs active obedience only meriteth Heaven for us, and therefore that only meriteth Sanctification? |
| A27029 | Is it true that we must be practical Antinomians unless we hold that only Christs active righteousness merited grace and glory for us? |
| A27029 | Is it worth their Zeal and Contention? |
| A27029 | Is justifying Faith an act of the understanding or will? |
| A27029 | Is nol ● e punire, or non punire,( not punishing) true pardon? |
| A27029 | Is not Christs Righteousness ours, as our sins were his by imputation? |
| A27029 | Is not Christs righteousness ours, as our sins were his, by im ● utation? |
| A27029 | Is not the Preaching of the Gospel a means of mens believing? |
| A27029 | Is not this Idolatry worse than Image- Worship, or than Anti- christianity? |
| A27029 | Is not this to trust to works? |
| A27029 | Is obedience a part of Justifying Faith? |
| A27029 | Is sin worse than suffering, if it can do no hurt? |
| A27029 | It is not for Christ to judge himself: It is not to judge God, whether he elected us? |
| A27029 | It is not to judge, whether we were of the Seed of Adam, or whether we ever sinned? |
| A27029 | Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God? |
| A27029 | Lastly, you ask, What Righteousness Faith is imputed to? |
| A27029 | M ● st a believer any way plead his Faith, Repentance or Holiness to his Justification, or trust to them? |
| A27029 | Must 〈 ◊ 〉 ever trust at all to his faith, repentance, or holiness, or p ● ead it any way to his justification? |
| A27029 | No, nor so much hurt: But what need I more proof of this, than what Popery hath done these 800. or 900. years in the World? |
| A27029 | Obj ▪ It is prerequisite as an Instrument? |
| A27029 | Of what? |
| A27029 | Or is it Law that we shall not be Ruled and Judged by? |
| A27029 | Or is it[ that you may turn?] |
| A27029 | Or is there any transgression, if no Law? |
| A27029 | Or to be tormented with Stone, Collick, Convulsion, or any Disease; why will these Phanaticks seek to Physicians, use Medicines, and groan in Pain? |
| A27029 | Or whether the Law of Innocency condemn us; And our sin deserve everlasting Punishment? |
| A27029 | Or will you new mold it into an absolute Form? |
| A27029 | Or ▪ will you say that it is no Covenant? |
| A27029 | Should none pray but Reprobates, if others have no hurt to deprecate? |
| A27029 | So we unless we utter words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? |
| A27029 | That speaketh but the Order: But what Antecedent is it? |
| A27029 | The Acts of Christ in the Divine and Humane Nature: Are these given us, and do we possess them in themselves? |
| A27029 | The Cause of that day, will not be, whether Christ be a sufficient Saviour, or have made sufficient satisfaction? |
| A27029 | The Law of Nature,( and so we say, The Civil Law, the Canon Law, Gods Law,& c.) Now the question is, what Covenant Christ was the Sponsor of? |
| A27029 | The question then is whether every believer be one person with Christ? |
| A27029 | The sum of all our Controversie is, what Righteousness believers have? |
| A27029 | Then there is some degree of turning necessary as a condition to the promised special gift of the Spirit? |
| A27029 | There is no man without many Errors: And do not all desire that others should take that for Truth, which they take to be Truth? |
| A27029 | Those men were not Hereticks, but men fals ● y a ● cus ● d of Heresie: Why instance you in Papist Tyrants? |
| A27029 | Thou art not an Adulterer, thou art not a sinful Person,( Why did Christ then justifie the confessing Publican?) |
| A27029 | To him that hath, shall be given: may not Faith be the gift of God, and yet be the condition of Justification and Salvation? |
| A27029 | Turn you at my reproof; behold I will pour out my Spirit to you; I will make known my Words unto you? |
| A27029 | Was Dr. Tully a Non- conformist? |
| A27029 | Was it no hurt to the Elect to be long the Devil''s Servants, and to have our Conversion so long delayed, as with many it is? |

| A27029 | When it is said that faith is imputed to us for righteousness is it faith indeed that is meant or Christs Righteousness believed on? |
| A27029 | Where''s the Clergy so powerful as in the Roman Kingdom? |
| A27029 | Whether Christs Righteousness be the Efficient, Material, or Formal cause of our Righteousness, or Justification? |
| A27029 | Whether Grace be Grace, or Free, if it have any Condition? |
| A27029 | Whether our performance of the Condition of Justification doth efficiently justifie us? |
| A27029 | Whether that which is by Christs obedience, and by Faith, be the same? |
| A27029 | Whether the Acceptation of Christs Righteousness be the Imputation of it? |
| A27029 | Whether the Covenant of Grace, be made only with Christ, or with us also? |
| A27029 | Whether the sufferings of Christ merit our freedom from nothing but what he suffered in our ● tead? |

| A27029 | Why censure they Conformists and others that differ from them? |
| A27029 | Why did you not note this, and tell us whether you deny this also, as well as our Physical performance? |
| A27029 | Why do Libertines labour to escape Prisons, Banishments, Fines, or Hanging for sin, if it can do them no hurt? |
| A27029 | Why do Ministers Preach so much against sin, if it can do no hurt? |
| A27029 | Why do men Plow and Sow, and Labour, and Eat, if Famine hurt not, and Labour do no good, because Christ hath done all? |
| A27029 | Why do they not commend to us some better name for the same thing? |
| A27029 | Why do we not take up with the three first Petitions in the Lords Prayer, if our own Interest be not next to be regarded and prayed for? |

| A26957 | & how cruel have we been to our selves& thee? |
| A26957 | 8: doth all unworthy receiving make a man liable to damnation? |
| A26957 | A way these silly simple childish thoughts; how like an inhabitant of this earthly sensual world dost thou reason? |
| A26957 | After all this shall I again forsake thee, and deal falsly in thy Covenant? |
| A26957 | And canst thou after all this doubt that the Father is not willing? |
| A26957 | And canst thou not be read both Husband, Father and Lord, and all in his countenance? |
| A26957 | And dare you live in such a state? |
| A26957 | And do they not all sing, and joy, and triumph in it? |
| A26957 | And doth he at once forbid and command the same thing? |
| A26957 | And had rather be one of the holiest Saints, than of the most renowned prosperous Princes upon Earth? |
| A26957 | And hast thou indeed forgiven me so great a debt, by so precious a Ransom? |
| A26957 | And how will you then look and cry when God passeth sentence on you, and thrusts you down to Hell to bear the punishment of your sins? |
| A26957 | And if Confidence in Christ be yet deceit, must I not say that thou hast deceived me? |
| A26957 | And is not this all true? |
| A26957 | And is this all? |
| A26957 | And must I of all be thus censur''d? |
| A26957 | And must his entertainment at first be no better than a stable or a manger could give him? |
| A26957 | And must the Son of God be humbled thus? |
| A26957 | And shall I not love thee, that hast thus loved me? |
| A26957 | And should it not be sweeter to us that are the guests that feed upon it? |
| A26957 | And that Love draw out by the sense of Love, might be all my life? |
| A26957 | And was his birth, thinkst thou, so mean, whose Parentage was so glorious? |
| A26957 | And what is this sordid corruptible flesh, that its desires and pleasures should call down my Soul, and tempt it to neglect my God? |
| A26957 | And what needs his body be of a clear, white, thin, transparent skin? |
| A26957 | And what though thou art unworthy of his love, if he will have thee and make thee worthy? |
| A26957 | And when he hath made thee as he would, why may not he take thee to himself, and lay thee next his heart, and delight over thee everlastingly? |
| A26957 | And will a mournful weed, a wet eye, and a cloudy brow, become thee at these times of Festivals? |
| A26957 | And wilt thou not take the Cross and sollow me? |
| A26957 | And yet, you careless secure Jews, can you think to escape when God comes to make inquisition for blood? |
| A26957 | And, which useth to carry it in the time of trial, in your deliberate choice? |
| A26957 | Angels are admiring these miracles of Love? |
| A26957 | Are all the Members of the visible Church to be admitted to this Sacrament? |
| A26957 | Art thou not in Covenant with me, as my Sanctifier, and Confirmer, and Comforter? |
| A26957 | Away my unbelieving heart, what a stir is here to make thee believe a thing so evident? |
| A26957 | Away with an Husband, Wife, or Child to me: Is he not more to me than ten Husbands? |
| A26957 | Ay, but I was his Fathers enemy, and so no friend to him; or would he love an enemy? |
| A26957 | BUT is he dead? |
| A26957 | But doth he not tell thee, to put thee out of all doubt, this is my well- beloved Son, hear him, hear him: What''s that? |
| A26957 | But doth it so please him? |
| A26957 | But hast thou any ground to doubt them? |
| A26957 | But hast thou not a whole Nation, yea Nations that do believe the same? |
| A26957 | But his days were spent in poverty, meanness and disgrace; and can I, dare I, trust my soul with such a one, and take him to be the Son of God? |
| A26957 | But how can it once be thought that envy should get a room in an heart that''s full of love, with which it swells, it bubbles up, and runs all over? |
| A26957 | But how if in the end he prove a Prophet? |
| A26957 | But how will you be able to rub your brows into so much confidence? |
| A26957 | But is it only to remember that there was a Christ, and that he was crucified, and no more? |
| A26957 | But is not this Sacrament more holy and dreadful, and should it not have more preparation, than other parts of worship? |
| A26957 | But shall he love, and die in love, and thus be forc''d to leave me, because he lov''d me, and I not mourn the absence of my best Beloved? |
| A26957 | But should we have no regard to the due celebration of these sacred Mysteries, and to the Minister, and communicants, and manner of Administration? |
| A26957 | But tell me if thy unbelief hath any ground for it? |
| A26957 | But were those wonders true and certain? |
| A26957 | But what if my conscience be not satisfied, but I am still in doubt, must I not forbear? |
| A26957 | But what should he do with a beautious body that must be so abased and abused as his was? |
| A26957 | But where are my Clothes? |
| A26957 | But where are my silken golden twists of Faith to hang the jewels of joy and love, and humility upon? |
| A26957 | But whither, O whither, O ye blinded Jews, are ye dragging this my Lord? |
| A26957 | But why a dream, poor wretched heart? |
| A26957 | But why a dream? |
| A26957 | But why did he love an enemy? |
| A26957 | But why do I ask this question? |
| A26957 | But why dost thou weep? |
| A26957 | But why should I doubt that which is past all doubt? |
| A26957 | But why thus necessary? |
| A26957 | But will his Father yield to this? |
| A26957 | But would the Son of God be hanged and crucified? |
| A26957 | But yet it was as glorious: for did not a Star proclaim him born? |
| A26957 | But yet, but what can Heaven love so much? |
| A26957 | But you will say, What if still he can not be resolved whether he have true Faith and Repentance, or not? |
| A26957 | But, Oh my Lord, what are those pains and gripes thou feelest, that brings forth these complainings? |
| A26957 | Can I refuse thy blood when I have accepted thy self? |
| A26957 | Can a Murderer of Christ be a small offender? |
| A26957 | Come tell me, doth not Heaven look as though it was pleased with the offer of his Son? |
| A26957 | Come, tell me, I say, tell me quickly, I must have an answer, Can this, and all this be true, and Heaven yet not be pleased? |
| A26957 | Come, tell me, is not this thy language? |
| A26957 | Could God be merciful at a dearer rate? |
| A26957 | Could Love stoop lower? |
| A26957 | Could my sin have done a more horrid deed, than put to death the Son of God? |
| A26957 | Could they so victoriously conquer all my fear, silence all my doubts, allay the heats of a scorched and be- helled Conscience? |
| A26957 | Did I not make thy seat a Paradice, and strewed thy paths with pleasure? |
| A26957 | Did I not rejoyce over thee as a young man over his bride? |
| A26957 | Did not the Prophets foretell his death, and such a death? |
| A26957 | Didst thou not see him step off his Throne? |
| A26957 | Do his looks bespeak him to be thy Father or thy Judge? |
| A26957 | Do not all the Christian World eat and drink as often as they can the Symbols of this their dying Lord? |
| A26957 | Do not the Angels admire the mystery of Redeeming Grace, that makes them so desirous to peep into it? |
| A26957 | Do they not bear it as a badge of honour, and shall it be to thee as shame? |
| A26957 | Dost thou not see all thy fellow- Christians to glory in that Cross, and in that Christ that died on it? |
| A26957 | Fear not, I say, he will not ask thee, Friend, how camest thou hither not having on thy Wedding garment? |
| A26957 | For it is impossible the Cup should pass: And can he, will he, dare he venture? |
| A26957 | For what if his Face did want comliness, seeing it came so with tears and grief for thee? |
| A26957 | God speaks,] Sinner, where art thou? |
| A26957 | God speaks] Had I not told thee that sin would cost thee thy life, then thou hadst had some excuse: have I said it, and will the great God change? |
| A26957 | Hadst thou not the blindness of the Jews, thou couldest not reason thus like them; but was it not necessary it should be so? |
| A26957 | Half of this ado would find a heart for a little mire or dirt, or something else that is worse, and is not Christ better? |
| A26957 | Hath my Lord forgot so suddenly that he was on earth, and that he sweat, and groan''d, and wept, and bled, as well as I do now? |
| A26957 | Have I not sat and read, and read and wept viewing over the story; and could they forbear that with their watry eyes saw this scene then acted? |
| A26957 | He said he will pay his life for thine; and doth not his Father bid thee hear him? |
| A26957 | He spoke such chearing words of Grace, What do you want, my Friend? |
| A26957 | He was not the Christ, thou sayest, but tell me why? |
| A26957 | He was taken from prison and judgment, and who shall declare his generation? |
| A26957 | His birth but mean and beggarly; no sooner born, but cradled in a manger; and could Heaven suffer this? |
| A26957 | How could he be far from thee, who was one with thy self? |
| A26957 | How could you find such barbarous hearts to triumph over a bleeding dying lamb, that was so innocent? |
| A26957 | How couldst thou suspect thy Fathers love? |
| A26957 | How dare you say you were ignorant of him, when you say you know both Moses and the Prophets, and they bear witness of him? |
| A26957 | How dear payed my Saviour for that, which I might have avoided at a very cheap rate? |
| A26957 | How good and pleasant is the unity of Bretheren? |
| A26957 | How merciful, Lord, hast thou been to sinners? |
| A26957 | How often did he cure your Lame? |
| A26957 | How often have I told thee it doth please him and hast thou not believed? |
| A26957 | How often should the Sacrament be now administred, that it neither grow into contempt nor strangeness? |
| A26957 | How short our Sabbath- days? |
| A26957 | How small a matter hath tempted me to that, which must cost so dear before it was forgiven? |
| A26957 | How strangely dost thou glorifie thy mercy over sin that gave advantage to glorifie thy justice? |
| A26957 | How strangly hast thou deserved and sought it? |
| A26957 | How will you dare to speak a word for your selves to him whom you have nailed to a tree and crucified? |
| A26957 | How will you do if this sin shall find you out? |
| A26957 | How will you look him in the face whom you have spit on? |
| A26957 | How wonderfully did he heal your Lepers, and those sick of the Palsie, yea of all manner of diseases? |
| A26957 | I am too poor a match for the Son and heir of all things: But will he, can he suffer his Son to die to buy such a beggarly thing to himself as I am? |
| A26957 | I answer, It is one thing to ask, what is his duty in this case? |
| A26957 | I both saw and heard him speak the words; or shall I misdoubt his faithfulness? |
| A26957 | I can not find it stir? |
| A26957 | I had my Being from thee, and my daily Bread; and should I have requited thee with disobedience? |
| A26957 | I know he is the Son of God he can not lye, but it is true? |
| A26957 | I lookt just now, I see that door wide open: What''s this a spirit? |
| A26957 | I must be gone, what shall I do in yonder hungry soul- starving world again? |
| A26957 | I see my Lord looks towards them, and kindly chides their loving sorrow, Why weep ye, Oh ye Daughters of Jerusalem? |
| A26957 | I was a creature, a worm, a fly, a nothing to him, and what need he have cared? |
| A26957 | If God requires blood for blood, what will become of yours? |
| A26957 | If both our hearts in love so well agree, What then shall separate my Christ from me? |
| A26957 | Is it possible that such a damned wretch as I, could harbour such silken gilded thoughts of such love, grace, mercy and tenderness of the Son of God? |
| A26957 | Is this a Court for Princes, or for Angels? |
| A26957 | Is this a house, or is it a Palace? |
| A26957 | It was his Father I did wrong, why did he not let me suffer? |
| A26957 | It''s true, he might have gone without, but what if he would not, why should not Heaven have its will as well as thou? |
| A26957 | May I not believe my senses? |
| A26957 | May an ungodly Man receive this Sacrament, who knoweth not himself to be ungodly? |
| A26957 | Methinks I feel my bowels turn, my spirits melt within me; was ever love like to his love? |
| A26957 | Might I not have had an hundred that would have never done half so much for me as he hath done? |
| A26957 | Must a sincere Christian receive, that is uncertain of his sincerity, and in continual doubting? |
| A26957 | My God how dearly hast thou purchased my Love? |
| A26957 | My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
| A26957 | My Judge hath passed the sentence, I must die; and who can reverse the doom? |
| A26957 | My Mother, Father, Wife or Child, can not help me: O who then shall? |
| A26957 | No sooner must he begin to live, but must an enemy assault his life? |
| A26957 | Now how to get them loose again, thou knowest not; this thou mightest by heed and care have prevented; but now what help? |
| A26957 | Now put all these together, and tell me, canst thou doubt? |
| A26957 | Now, will the Bridegroom come, and I am not ready? |
| A26957 | O that I could Love thee as much as I would Love thee? |
| A26957 | O were I certain thou wouldst ne''re doubt more, how freely should I make satisfaction? |
| A26957 | Oh for a mountain to cover me: Oh whither shall I go, wither shall I flie? |
| A26957 | Oh what a shew do these bright and glittering Saints make in mine eyes? |
| A26957 | Oh what was I so long a reasoning about? |
| A26957 | Oh where, where are they? |
| A26957 | Oh why shouldest thou thus torment me? |
| A26957 | Or can I accept my pardon at thy hands, and refuse the Seal thereof? |
| A26957 | Or ever have a favourable thought of sin? |
| A26957 | Or ever have a fearless thought of justice? |
| A26957 | Or, what unworthiness is it that is so threatned? |
| A26957 | Seeing he that doubteth is condemned if he eat, because he eateth not in Faith; for whatsoever is not of Faith is sin? |
| A26957 | Shall God the answer make? |
| A26957 | Shall I ever again have a dull apprehension of such Love? |
| A26957 | Shall I mourn for him that''s just now past his state of mourning? |
| A26957 | Shall I not love thy Servants, and forgive my Neighbours their little debt? |
| A26957 | Shall it be said of the Prince of Glory, that he died and had the burial of an Ass? |
| A26957 | Shall not such be blamed, but rather pitied? |
| A26957 | Shall the Heavenly Angels be joyful, and thou sad? |
| A26957 | Should not they weep when thou must bleed? |
| A26957 | Speak sinner, was it not so? |
| A26957 | Stay but a while, and thou shalt see him more; look up, my soul, come, tell me what thou seest? |
| A26957 | THousands of thousands stand around Thy Throne, O God, most high; Ten thousand times ten thousand sound Thy praise, but who am I? |
| A26957 | TO whom, Lord, should I sing, but thee, The maker of my Tongue? |
| A26957 | Tell me ye fairest, what make you up so early? |
| A26957 | Tell me, tell me, couldst thou have divorced thy self from all, and have taken this seemingly uncomely person for thy Lord, and only Husband? |
| A26957 | Their love to us doth cause them to rejoyce, while they stand by and see our Heavenly feast? |
| A26957 | Thou dost not see this, blame then thine eyes, and the infidelity of thy heart; shall it be less true, because thy base infidelity can not digest it? |
| A26957 | Thy heart is base, and what of that, if he will mend it? |
| A26957 | To exercise your Thankfulness, what could do more than so great a Gift, so dearly purchased, so surely sealed, and so freely offered? |
| A26957 | To kill so kind a Friend, That made the Lord of Glory die, What might this act portend? |
| A26957 | VVhat hath this world to do with my affections? |
| A26957 | WHat is the Sacrament of the Lords- Supper? |
| A26957 | Was I not as a Father to thee, the time thou lovedst me, and didst obey me? |
| A26957 | Was ever Prince on Earth honoured with so great a Conquest? |
| A26957 | Was it not filled with miracles and wonders? |
| A26957 | Were not his miraculous Feasts more splendid than those of Princes? |
| A26957 | What ails my heart? |
| A26957 | What cloud or darkness dost thou see about the Throne? |
| A26957 | What good got you to stand and laugh to see him sorrowful? |
| A26957 | What if my pains and screeches were eternal? |
| A26957 | What if my punishment was as great as Hell? |
| A26957 | What is it then that I must call to mind when I think upon a bleeding and dying Christ, so as to affect my heart? |
| A26957 | What is the particular preparation needful to a fit Communicant? |
| A26957 | What made the Lord of Glory die? |
| A26957 | What saith my Lord? |
| A26957 | What saith my heart? |
| A26957 | What should he do while he is in doubt? |
| A26957 | What sign or token of displeasure canst thou at all discover? |
| A26957 | What stickest thou at? |
| A26957 | What then will you do when that great and terrible day of the Lord shall come? |
| A26957 | What though now all tears, and sorrow, and sighing is done away, and he ceaseth to be any longer subject to our infirmities? |
| A26957 | What, can God love no more than thou canst? |
| A26957 | What, can you doubt my kind design? |
| A26957 | What? |
| A26957 | Where is the Conscience that but now was burning in me; But Oh, can not the presence of the Lord put me out of doubt? |
| A26957 | Wherein lieth the sin of an Hypocrite, and ungodly person, if he do receive? |
| A26957 | Whether his judgment of himself, do rather incline to think and hope that he is sincere in his repentance and Faith, or, that he is not? |
| A26957 | Whither, O whither shall I go to find them out? |
| A26957 | Why did he not send twelve Legions of Angels for his rescue? |
| A26957 | Why did they proclaim his coming into the World, and sing for joy that there was good will in Heaven to men on earth? |
| A26957 | Why doth he not send down fire from Heaven upon the heads of these his Sons enemies, and so consume them? |
| A26957 | Why should he fear the grave, that had power over it? |
| A26957 | Will he freely pardon all that I have done? |
| A26957 | Will he hear the sentence, and quietly bear bolts, and shackles, and chains, which should have fettered me? |
| A26957 | Will it not be said, thou dost not love him? |
| A26957 | Will you excuse it with your unbelieving ignorance? |
| A26957 | Wilt thou indeed give me to reign with Christ in Glory, and see thy face, and love thee, and be beloved of thee for ever? |
| A26957 | Ye innumerable company of Angels,( yet servants at my Father will) why do ye rejoyce to see my prisoner sent to Hell? |
| A26957 | Yea as much as thou wouldest have me Love thee? |
| A26957 | Yet more than this, Doth he know it is impossible to get a reprieve from his Father and judge? |
| A26957 | Yet to those Christians, who are in this case, and dare not communicate, I must put this Question, How dare you so long refuse it? |
| A26957 | You askt a sign, and did he not give you both signs and wonders? |
| A26957 | and another thing to ask, Which is the smaller or less dangerous sin? |
| A26957 | and are resolved, that you will rather let go all, than your part in Christ? |
| A26957 | and art thou not certain that it is the word of God? |
| A26957 | and come so near him? |
| A26957 | and did not a whole Host of Angels sing and shout it up for joy? |
| A26957 | and must I dwell with him for ever? |
| A26957 | and shall I get no nearer him, while I have a Saviour and a Head so near? |
| A26957 | and shall he thus forsake the world, and die and then be laid in the grave, and I be denied the liberty of following him thither as a mourner? |
| A26957 | and shall not I admire them? |
| A26957 | and take me into his family and love, and feed me with the flesh and blood of Christ? |
| A26957 | and that he must most assuredly drink the bitterest dregs of Death, more bitter than Devils or damned Souls in Hell has yet ever tasted of? |
| A26957 | and thus reconcile his worthless enemies? |
| A26957 | and to a Child at the burial of a beloved Father? |
| A26957 | and what of that? |
| A26957 | and what will you do when confusion shall thus take hold upon you? |
| A26957 | and wilfully offended thee, and preferred the filth of this world and the pleasures of the flesh before thee? |
| A26957 | and will God stoop so low to man? |
| A26957 | and wilt thou love thy friend the worse, because he shares in sorrow with thee? |
| A26957 | and wilt thou the while lye vexing thy self over a company of needless fears and scruples? |
| A26957 | and yet shall I know him no better than thus? |
| A26957 | are they not written in thy Bible? |
| A26957 | believe him whatsoever he says, why, what saith he? |
| A26957 | but he loved me; and could he love a prisoner at the Bar? |
| A26957 | but how could that be when he saw my heart, and the enmity that was in it? |
| A26957 | but must he at length be laid hold of by a traiterous Judas that he had once taken for one of his Apostles;& must he suffer all this? |
| A26957 | could Heaven have suffered this? |
| A26957 | could not the Saviour of the World save himself? |
| A26957 | did he not conquer Devils, and therefore the Kingdom of Hell? |
| A26957 | do not my head, eyes, arms, heart, breast, and the case of every joint and limb about me, witness the same? |
| A26957 | dost thou not love me? |
| A26957 | he was a stranger to me: why did he not let me die? |
| A26957 | how can mans dull and narrow heart, be duly affected with such transcendent things? |
| A26957 | how could he then save me? |
| A26957 | how could the blessed God forbear to see his blessed Son thus wronged? |
| A26957 | how idly dost thou question? |
| A26957 | how weak are crawling Worms? |
| A26957 | if they were not true, how came they into my mind, or how came they to stay? |
| A26957 | is he my light, and life, and all my hope? |
| A26957 | me that have so oft despised thy mercy? |
| A26957 | methinks if thou didst love, thine heart should rather sympathize with his: He is singing, and shalt thou be sighing? |
| A26957 | must Heaven, and so its love, be bound up to so narrow and contracted thoughts as thine are? |
| A26957 | must I go? |
| A26957 | must I leave this feast? |
| A26957 | must he be also crowned with thorns, and must he sweat and bleed? |
| A26957 | or Communicate? |
| A26957 | or am I waking? |
| A26957 | or are ye near one? |
| A26957 | or could they, if but meer fictions, make such a change in my heart? |
| A26957 | or did he not know so much? |
| A26957 | or hast thou not sufficient reason to believe it to be so? |
| A26957 | or how could he do it? |
| A26957 | or thou dost envy his recovered glory that he had left, and now again hath taken? |
| A26957 | or why do they so diligently attend thee by night and day? |
| A26957 | shall I be saved from Hell and not be thankful? |
| A26957 | shall I ever more slight such Love as this? |
| A26957 | shall I learn no more that have such a Teacher? |
| A26957 | shall it be granted to a Wife to mourn for the death of a beloved Husband? |
| A26957 | shall it not overcome my Rebelliousness; and melt down my cold and hardned heart? |
| A26957 | should I wish him back again? |
| A26957 | speak out, my Soul; hath not the Prophet said as much? |
| A26957 | surely thou art a sluggish spirit; what dost thou ail? |
| A26957 | this is the Lord that came to spare your lives, yet your wickedness spared not his; and how at length can you think to escape with yours? |
| A26957 | thou wilt not under- match, and therefore will not God his Son? |
| A26957 | to pull out filthy souls from the jaws of lustful sensual flesh and blood? |
| A26957 | to scoff and jeer to hear his lamentations? |
| A26957 | was he not proclaimed the Son of God with voices from Heaven? |
| A26957 | what answer will you make when all these truths are cleared? |
| A26957 | what cursed rage was that to make such haste to fetch him vinegar and gall to prolong his life, to lengthen out his dolors? |
| A26957 | what gasps and groans do I hear him fetch, as if his soul were strugling to get out? |
| A26957 | what if I thought I could prize and love him more, and could promise the like for all his beloved disciples? |
| A26957 | what is this? |
| A26957 | what laugh you at? |
| A26957 | what need was there for that question? |
| A26957 | what not yet one word? |
| A26957 | what pledges hast thou given to my staggering faith, in the works which prayer hath procured, both for my self and many others? |
| A26957 | what should a Lamb do there? |
| A26957 | where will you hide your selves for shame? |
| A26957 | who have broken the Laws of him that made me, and on whom the whole Creation doth depend? |
| A26957 | will not any serve that body that must be bruised and wounded as his was; nay, as it was necessary his should be? |
| A26957 | will you then confess the fact, or will you deny it? |
| A26957 | with what face can you do the first? |
| A27064 | ( Can a Man speak plainer for Christs dying for all?) |
| A27064 | ( for his attaining Life after by Christ, is nothing against his losing it in the first way?) |
| A27064 | 22. if it were not a mercy, then Men did not sin against mercy in rejecting it, which who dare say? |
| A27064 | 34. who is he that condemneth? |
| A27064 | Again, is not Original sin the loss of Gods Image, and the pravity of Nature a Punishment for the first sin? |
| A27064 | Also how could Christ condemn Pagans or any for not improving his Talents of Mercy, if they had none? |
| A27064 | And I shall anon shew how it leads to Infidelity and other Sins, And after this, what Face of Religion is left, unsubverted? |
| A27064 | And by Legislation or conditional Donation, make a free gift of Christ to all that will have him? |
| A27064 | And can there be the effect without the cause? |
| A27064 | And do not all the opposers confess that Christs Death was sufficient for All men? |
| A27064 | And doth not God do more for Peter, than for Judas, for the Elect than the Reprobate, antecedently to their Faith? |
| A27064 | And how can any Man prove Gods special love by the evidence of a false Faith? |
| A27064 | And how can we consent to have Christ and so be united to him, except he first give himself to us on condition that we will consent? |
| A27064 | And if God may do so in one, why not in others? |
| A27064 | And if God shew this undeserved Mercy to a Manasseh, which he denyeth to a Pharaoh, is it not his free grace that makes Manasseh to differ? |
| A27064 | And invite multitudes that will refuse; and yet compel but his chosen only to come in? |
| A27064 | And is Christ an imperfect Saviour to all these? |
| A27064 | And is it not fit for us to understand the same phrase used in the next Chapter save ● ● e as in the same Sense? |
| A27064 | And is it not long of themselves if they never hear it, nor have any benefit by it? |
| A27064 | And is it plainer in this than in its affirming that Christ died for All? |
| A27064 | And it is hereby answered, that He can if that man Believe? |
| A27064 | And must I still continue that groundless Act? |
| A27064 | And of neglecting all the Duties which he might have been informed of? |
| A27064 | And one would think none should doubt of the Minor: Whether it be any injustice in God, by his Law to oblige to punishment those that Christ Died for? |
| A27064 | And so a fulfilling of that threatning? |
| A27064 | And so have other sinners that be not fallen so far as he is? |
| A27064 | And so make Hell thus far to be no Hell? |
| A27064 | And so not attain the fruit of that Govenant thereby? |
| A27064 | And so that in rejecting it they never were guilty of rejecting or sinning against any love or mercy? |
| A27064 | And therefore if the effect follow not, the Law enquires, Who it is long of? |
| A27064 | And therefore would not have been sufficient to save us, had it been possible for us to have believed in it, or had we actually believed? |
| A27064 | And this God could not but accept,( consequenter ad Leges) For who can refuse the proper debt? |
| A27064 | And through thy knowledg shall thy weak Brother perish, for whom Christ died? |
| A27064 | And was it not sufficient materially after? |
| A27064 | And what Divine, except Antinomians, doth deny Faith to be the Condition? |
| A27064 | And what difference( as to their ransome) between most men, and Devils? |
| A27064 | And what if all that they supposed of this Text had been true? |
| A27064 | And what if it were so in some places? |
| A27064 | And what is that Kingdom( here meant) but the Gospel? |
| A27064 | And what other buying with a price can you here devise? |
| A27064 | And what the better is he for whom it was never paid? |
| A27064 | And why may we not as well say Christ Redeemed men to Salvation, that yet for rejecting it are not saved? |
| A27064 | And why should they wonder at that, who deny it to be a Fruit of Satisfaction or Ransom, which is a more Universal cause then Election is? |
| A27064 | And why then should we obey a King that is not our King? |
| A27064 | And would he not have cried out on the offerer as a deceiver, and unjust and cruel? |
| A27064 | Are none of their sins Original or Actual, nor any of their sufferings or disunion from Christ and Alienation from God, punishments to them? |
| A27064 | Are those Dispositions Gods Gifts or not? |
| A27064 | At least, not as any Redeemer or Friend of theirs? |
| A27064 | But I have no knowledg whether he be either my Redeemer, or sufficient, or willing? |
| A27064 | But because he asks, who dare say this? |
| A27064 | But doth not God decree it? |
| A27064 | But he never bid any man, examine thy self whether thou be redeemed, or whether Christ dyed for thee? |
| A27064 | But how can the meer light of Nature discern Gospel Truths, without a supernatural Revelation? |
| A27064 | But on what ground is this? |
| A27064 | But what if their various acception were granted? |
| A27064 | But who dare say that it is unmeet for God to give men such effectual grace as shall Infallibly cause them to Believe? |
| A27064 | But why doth not God compel all to come in as well as some? |
| A27064 | But will you say, it saith not for every man? |
| A27064 | Can Men walk to Heaven by Faith without a Redeemer? |
| A27064 | Can any man then believe that the tenour of the new Law or Covenant, is so much harder than ever was the Law of Works, as is before expressed? |
| A27064 | Can any obligation dissolve or remit it self? |
| A27064 | Can he have all his debt, and remit it too? |
| A27064 | Can they make this? |
| A27064 | Could God give them Christ as a Satisfier and Redeemer, who never had satisfied for them or redeemed? |
| A27064 | Death and damnation; then if there be but a spark of Grace in us we begin to be of another mind, and to reason thus with our selves, what? |
| A27064 | Did he send his Son that they might be saved? |
| A27064 | Did not Christ bear the Curse of the Law for us, that he might Redeem them that were under the Law? |
| A27064 | Did you ever see a rational man wounded in Conscience for not being an Angel, or not seeing God face to face, or not redeeming his own Soul? |
| A27064 | Do not these men know that they vent all these confident zealous insultings, directly against the Scripture expressions, as well as against ours? |
| A27064 | Do these men think that the unrenewed faculty hath need of no Grace but an object or perswasion from without, to cause it to believe? |
| A27064 | Doth it any where except any one man, and say Christ died not for him? |
| A27064 | Doth it follow that therefore he hath Ransomed the Irish, because he hath power to judg and destroy them, or use them in servitude? |
| A27064 | Doth it not plainly say, that all things( else) are ready; when yet Faith in them was unready, for they would not? |
| A27064 | Doth it not signifie a defect in our belief of the truth of Scripture? |
| A27064 | Doth it say any where that he died only for his Sheep, or his Elect, and exclude the Non- Elect? |
| A27064 | Doth it say, as plainly any where that he died not for all? |
| A27064 | Doth not Christ himself expresly speak of not forgiving sin in this life or that to come? |
| A27064 | Doth not Christ say to Hierusalem, How oft would I have gathered thee, as a Hen gathereth her Chickens under her Wings, and ye would not? |
| A27064 | Doth not the Text plainly distinguish here between Faith and all the Benefits that by Faith we are partakers of? |
| A27064 | Doth the Judg execute all the penalty; and yet forgive it? |
| A27064 | Either he hath satisfied for me before I believe or not? |
| A27064 | Even then when it openly discovereth it self false or is supposed so to do? |
| A27064 | Examine your selves whether you be in the Faith, know ye not your own selves that Jesus Christ is in you except ye be Reprobates? |
| A27064 | For how can the Omniscient, Immutable God, be suddenly surprized with a new purpose which never came into his mind before our being Believers? |
| A27064 | For is this making all ready? |
| A27064 | For the Question now is, Whether God can give Pardon to a Man for whom Christ hath not satisfyed? |
| A27064 | For though a Law not promulgate can not oblige, yet the Question is, Who it was long of? |
| A27064 | For what can any Law in the World require or any Lawgiver, in exactest justice, but that the Law be perfectly fulfilled? |
| A27064 | For what have we to persuade us that Christ is the eternal God but plain Scripture? |
| A27064 | For who will offer a gift to us to be accepted that it may be ours, if we have accepted it already? |
| A27064 | God will so bless you, if you are willing or reject it not? |
| A27064 | Hath Christ virtue to be derived for the saving of any that he died not for? |
| A27064 | Hath every place that treats of proper Redemption such an addition? |
| A27064 | Hath it not too plain a tendency to infidelity and disobedience? |
| A27064 | Hath not the Prince here Ransomed all the Scots over whom he hath his Jus Dominii& Imperii? |
| A27064 | He hath not said, either, if thou believe I will die for thee? |
| A27064 | Hence you may see how to judge of the Controversie so much agitated between us and the Papists, Utrum Remissd Culpa remaneat poena temporalis? |
| A27064 | How can he call any thing[ a way of Salvation wide enough] which presupposeth not Christs satisfaction for the person? |
| A27064 | How can he say,[ There is enough in Christ for the Salvation of them all, if so be they will derive virtue from him by touching him by Faith?] |
| A27064 | How can he truely say[ there is enough in the remedy] Which is as to them no Remedy? |
| A27064 | How can it be said that by the sufficiency of his Ransome he is able to save them, for whom it is no Ransome? |
| A27064 | How can there be enough in it, or how can it be any remedy, to heal all diseases, and deliver from all evils, before it have made satisfaction? |
| A27064 | How can this man give us his Flesh to eat? |
| A27064 | How could we believe in, or receive Christ as our Redeemer, who never Redeemed us? |
| A27064 | How could we hear him as such, and call on him as such, or trust him as such,? |
| A27064 | How could we obey Christ as our Lord- redeemer, who was not our Lord- redeemer? |
| A27064 | How else should God judge the World? |
| A27064 | How few then of the Elect themselves should do it? |
| A27064 | How much doth it differ from the language of Men when they are pleading for Separation? |
| A27064 | How will the divulging of these, glorify God? |
| A27064 | I no where find the Scripture using that motive to perswade Men to believe, or to get assurance: But what must I do in the mean time? |
| A27064 | I will not examine the truth of that now, but if it be true of them on Earth, why not also of them in Hell? |
| A27064 | If God had spoke in so strange a language once in all the Bible? |
| A27064 | If any say, God is not capable of injustice, if you should suppose the breach of his promise? |
| A27064 | If every one in the World be intended, why doth not the Lord in the pursuit of this Love reveal Christ to all so loved? |
| A27064 | If for some only, who then can be saved,& c? |
| A27064 | If he have, how shall I know it? |
| A27064 | If he procure by his Death no possibility of their Salvation, but induce a necessity of their deep condemnation? |
| A27064 | If it had been said that they were washed in the blood of the Lamb, had it not been easie for the same wit to have found another interpretation? |
| A27064 | If there be, what is that necessity? |
| A27064 | Is Christ any readier for those he died not for, than for the Devils? |
| A27064 | Is all this so with those in Hell? |
| A27064 | Is it because Christ Dyed only for one, or that one only believed and the other refused Christ? |
| A27064 | Is not Christ God? |
| A27064 | Is not a man bound to mourn over him whom his sins have pierced before he knoweth himself to be Elect? |
| A27064 | Is not he unjust that denieth him an acquittance and the cancelling of the obligation, who hath fully paid him all his due? |
| A27064 | Is not punishment due to them both in this Life and that to come? |
| A27064 | Is not that in high pride to prefer your own understandings before the wisdom of the Spirit of God, who indicted the Scriptures? |
| A27064 | Is not the Gospel the savour of death to some? |
| A27064 | Is not the Salvation of Men the Fruit of Christs dying for them? |
| A27064 | Is the obligation fulfilled, and remitted or relaxed too? |
| A27064 | Is there any contradiction more palpable? |
| A27064 | Is there enough in that remedy to heal the Devils if they believed? |
| A27064 | Is this Non- resistance or Willingness to Believe the Gift of God or not? |
| A27064 | It is not hard to see the fair and harmonious consistency: But what if you can not see how two plain Truths of the Gospel should agree? |
| A27064 | It is not therefore de materia debiti, that we enquire, but de formâ: Whether it were the same formally which we owed, and the obligation required? |
| A27064 | Lastly, If all this were nothing as to the Regenerate, yet who ever said that God never punisheth any of his Elect while they are Unregenerate? |
| A27064 | Let me imagine such a Dialogue as this between such a Teacher and a Sinner? |
| A27064 | M. But Christ hath satisfied for all if they will believe? |
| A27064 | Make Christ a Sacrifice for all, ready? |
| A27064 | May he not do with his own as he list? |
| A27064 | May it not be said of an Atheist ▪[ He denieth the God that made him,] as an aggravation of his particular sin? |
| A27064 | May not God give power to those Devils which were the Gods of Damascus, really to smite Ahaz? |
| A27064 | May not a Man by this dealing say what he will as the meaning of Scripture? |
| A27064 | Men and Brethren what shall we do to be saved? |
| A27064 | Moreover, Christ saith now, how oft would I have gathered you? |
| A27064 | Must Men first believe without love that by the Mark of such a Faith they may have ground for love? |
| A27064 | Must it not do that before it can heal any other disease? |
| A27064 | Must not the application be first to God by satisfying him before it can be made to Man by believing? |
| A27064 | Nay how can it be accepted before it is offered? |
| A27064 | Negando enim causam negat affectum: Quaeris cur nulla supersit? |
| A27064 | Nihil ergo rectius quam luisse pro nobis Christum poenas: num aliquas tantum, an vero omnes? |
| A27064 | Nor of the quantity of Torment, for intension or duration? |
| A27064 | Now I shall think it meet to stand the longer on this point, because the decision of the main Question[ Whether Christ dyed for all men?] |
| A27064 | Now I would know of any man, would you believe that Christ died for all men if the Scripture plainly speak it? |
| A27064 | Now if men have none of the Talents which Christ''s Death hath purchased them, how can he condemn them for abusing that which they had not? |
| A27064 | Now what ground can a Minister have to press all Men to believe in Christ as their Redeemer, when they know he redeemed but the smallest part? |
| A27064 | Now what is said against this? |
| A27064 | Object But doth not God''s foreknowledge and decree make mens Salvation impossible, as well as Christs not Dying for them? |
| A27064 | Only I say, when Christ died Millions of Men were actually saved: Did God send his Son to save them that were saved already? |
| A27064 | Or are they called to make it? |
| A27064 | Or deny an acquittance to him that dischargeth it? |
| A27064 | Or did ever wise Judge absolve an offender on that ground? |
| A27064 | Or his Redemption? |
| A27064 | Or is there such a true Faith? |
| A27064 | Or let me perish in my Sin, and State of nature? |
| A27064 | Or only the Value, and not the same full debt? |
| A27064 | Or rather for the most hainous aggravation of his fault? |
| A27064 | Or rather, is it not spoken of the end of Gods Legislative Will, and so is meant of a conditional gift? |
| A27064 | Or that he who is sanctified by the Blood of the Covenant, was one whose sins caused that Blood? |
| A27064 | Or that the enjoyment of these may stand with the full execution of the sentence of the Law? |
| A27064 | Or that this Man( Judas) is not delivered and saved as well as that( Peter?) |
| A27064 | Or to cure his wicked nature? |
| A27064 | Or to justifie him if he be accused as liable to punishment? |
| A27064 | Or trust to his Blood for Justification, which was never shed for us? |
| A27064 | Or what justice can refuse to acquit him that hath paid all that was due? |
| A27064 | Or why the Prince should tell them, There remained no more Ransom for them when they were never ransomed at all? |
| A27064 | Or would coming in serve turn without satisfaction? |
| A27064 | Or would he not approve of his ow ● unbelief, and say, why should I have trusted such a one? |
| A27064 | Or would their coming in make it, which was not before made? |
| A27064 | Or, Who was the faulty cause that it was not Published? |
| A27064 | Or, Why then should we hear that Prophet who was no Prophet to us? |
| A27064 | Rather then Jesus Christ as Redeemer? |
| A27064 | SOme think this Question whether Christ paid the Idem or Tantundem? |
| A27064 | Shall we say that is not so which we see to be so, because we can not find why it is so? |
| A27064 | Should a man in danger of Death do nothing for his own safety without a certainty of success? |
| A27064 | Should not the least hope of probability( much more so high a probability) be enough to excite men to seek the saving of their own lives? |
| A27064 | Sinner, Did you not tell me he satisfied only for the Elect, and that determined by name? |
| A27064 | So Paraeus expoundeth it; sed quomodo hoc faciendo Christum denuò crucifigunt sibimetipsis? |
| A27064 | Such Promises are not to all, nor Conditional: If they are, what is the Condition? |
| A27064 | That he hath himself performed the condition of the new Covenant? |
| A27064 | That is absolutely all? |
| A27064 | That it is not of the quality of the suffering that we enquire: Whether Christ suffered the same kind of pain, or loss that we should have suffered? |
| A27064 | That you may see I wrong them not, I will instance in one, learned, Holy Perkins: who hath writ more confidently against Universal Redemption then he? |
| A27064 | That''s true, it was one cause, but how follows the consequence? |
| A27064 | The General Question, Whether Christ Died for All Men, and not only for the Elect? |
| A27064 | The proclaiming and offer of Christ as Redeemer, and of mercy in and with him? |
| A27064 | The question is, Why these Men are not saved? |
| A27064 | The work of Preachers is, the Ministry of teconciliation: And wherein lies it? |
| A27064 | Then said the Lord of the Vineyard what shall I do? |
| A27064 | This will be no excuse to the refusers: what if God had only invited all, and compelled none? |
| A27064 | To you first God sent his Son Jesus to bless you, in turning every one of you from his Iniquities? |
| A27064 | VVas it any proof that he would not judge Unbelievers because he came not to judge but to save the Elect? |
| A27064 | What Law can require more then all? |
| A27064 | What Man then will believe that it was called Holy, meerly from the Peoples professing to be Holy? |
| A27064 | What can any creditor require, but the Idem, the very debt it self which the obligation did contain? |
| A27064 | What can be required more then all? |
| A27064 | What else is our distinction between Temporary Faith and saving? |
| A27064 | What hast thou which thou hast not received? |
| A27064 | What if he had suffered all to perish in their wilfulness? |
| A27064 | What if it had been otherwise? |
| A27064 | What is the Condition? |
| A27064 | What is the cause that almost all the World live in security never almost touched for their horrible Sins? |
| A27064 | What of that? |
| A27064 | What other price than Christs blood doth God buy men with? |
| A27064 | What will not the lust of contradicting persuade men to? |
| A27064 | What''s this to the point? |
| A27064 | When satisfaction to justice is unready? |
| A27064 | Where is it then that the force of the Argument lyeth that would prove that all must needs have Faith for whom Christ Died? |
| A27064 | Whether it be not for want of a right use of the means? |
| A27064 | Who art thou that disputest against God? |
| A27064 | Whose fault was it? |
| A27064 | Why do we intreat them to be reconciled to God? |
| A27064 | Why else may not we still use this Language, if it be true that it is the perpetual course of Scripture? |
| A27064 | Why should we be thankful to Christ for Redeeming us, when he did not at all redeem us, Should we be thankful for nothing? |
| A27064 | Will that justifie? |
| A27064 | Will they say that he Died for the Non- elect, if they will believe? |
| A27064 | Will you therefore deny one of them when both are plain? |
| A27064 | Would so many doubts be raised, whether he mean the whole Army or part? |
| A27064 | Would the New Covenant serve to pardon men without Christs Sacrifice and Satisfaction? |
| A27064 | Wretch that I am? |
| A27064 | Yea how can he urge any to rest on Christ at all? |
| A27064 | Yea what if I said that strictly and directly men suffer not at all the penalty of the Law of Works? |
| A27064 | Yes, it saith, He is the propitiation for the sins of the whole World? |
| A27064 | You''l say, but is it of the whole World? |
| A27064 | [ And will not an impartial Man ● ● en expound the same Phrase here in the ● ● me manner? |
| A27064 | against the Arrians; and must we give up that argument for nothing? |
| A27064 | all Elect to whom Paul speaks? |
| A27064 | and Christ a stumbling stone, and Rock of offence? |
| A27064 | and all such as I that never come to assurance? |
| A27064 | and doth he at the same time perswade People to believe, that they were sanctified by the Blood of the Covenant,& c. if it were not true? |
| A27064 | and for not believing in him to save them by his death, who never died for them? |
| A27064 | and for whom it was shed? |
| A27064 | and if he compel some, is that any wrong to the rest? |
| A27064 | and should we make light of that which lay so heavy on him? |
| A27064 | and to have said it was spoken but 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, because they professed it to be so? |
| A27064 | and will you by force of VVit thence prove that God made not all men? |
| A27064 | and ye scorners delight in scorning and fools hate knowledge? |
| A27064 | hath he not made thee and established thee? |
| A27064 | if we will receive him( this is commonly confest:) now how can there be a receiving or accepting without a giving? |
| A27064 | in many that fall away when Persecution ariseth? |
| A27064 | is not he thy Father that hath bought thee? |
| A27064 | must I need compulsion to accept of a Redeemer and Salvation with him? |
| A27064 | or only for those that came forth? |
| A27064 | or than if he had never died at all? |
| A27064 | or whether thou be one of those for whom Christ dyed? |
| A27064 | shall not the Judge of all the World do righteously? |
| A27064 | the effects of his dying for them, when he did not dye for them? |
| A27064 | to have the easiest place in Hell,& c. who dare say that none of all these are Mercies? |
| A27064 | we have marks given in Scripture to know by, whether we are the Children of God or no? |
| A27064 | whether by( Saviour) be not meant ▪( God the Father as the common preserver of his Creature, or of Mens natural lives)? |
| A27064 | who art thou that disputest against God? |
| A27064 | will not Conscience say another day, I perish justly, that would not be saved? |
| A27064 | would that have been any ease to any? |
| A27064 | yet did not God decree their not being so gathered? |
| A26864 | & Quid recipit ut siat potens& efficax? |
| A26864 | & an praemium sit debitum?] |
| A26864 | & c. Doth the general Precept constitute this particular Ordinance as my duty? |
| A26864 | & c. Was this Article in the Creed before Christs coming[ Except ye beleeve that I am he, ye shall die in your sinnes?] |
| A26864 | & quomodo agit fides in hoc influxu causativo in Evangelium? |
| A26864 | & quomodo haec potentia& efficacia fuit in fide? |
| A26864 | ( Suppose he never Covenanted) or he that takes on him to consent or covenant in heart, when he doth it but in words, and wilfully dissembles? |
| A26864 | ( wherein he yieldeth as much as I need) and, Whether the Covenant be Conditional? |
| A26864 | 115 Whether the Sacrament seal the Conditional promise Absolutely? |
| A26864 | Abrenuncias Diabolum, mundum& Carnem? |
| A26864 | Ananias saith to Paul, Why tarryest thou? |
| A26864 | And Cyprians, Quae ista obstinatio est, quae praesumptio, humanam traditionem Divinae dispositioni anteponere? |
| A26864 | And can he be the efficient cause, and yet not effect? |
| A26864 | And can this be unless it be also said that we made the Gospel? |
| A26864 | And do you not seem to imply that man with God doth justifie himself, when you say[ Man can not justifie himself by beleeving without God?] |
| A26864 | And doth this alone suffice? |
| A26864 | And how can Mr. Bl call this Dogmatical faith, a covenanting? |
| A26864 | And how prove you this? |
| A26864 | And is Gods command insufficient to oblige us, till we oblige our selves? |
| A26864 | And is he not the Anointed King of the Church; and therefore hath Legislative power? |
| A26864 | And is it not as hard to discern the reason of this citation, according to your exposition as mine? |
| A26864 | And is not the activity here mentioned, an activity in causing? |
| A26864 | And so Soveraigns may give out Laws, and Proclamations under their hand and Seal? |
| A26864 | And what is it to know, but to discern or understand a discernable, cognoscible, or evident object? |
| A26864 | And what is the matter? |
| A26864 | And what is this to the question between you and me? |
| A26864 | And who is not ignorant in more points then one? |
| A26864 | And who knoweth not that these went before the application of the water? |
| A26864 | And why should these two be put in opposition? |
| A26864 | And will he not use the principal part of his Prerogative? |
| A26864 | And, what is the remote reason? |
| A26864 | Are we poor worms, our own Gods and Lords, that we should be disobliged till we will be pleased to oblige our selves? |
| A26864 | As if[ Byj signified only an instrument? |
| A26864 | BUt do you take officium and conditio to be all one? |
| A26864 | BUt is this certain? |
| A26864 | BUt where''s your conclusion? |
| A26864 | Believest thou this? |
| A26864 | Between these two questions, What justifieth ex parte Christi? |
| A26864 | But I thought the contest in your Dispute had been, Which is the justifying act of faith, and which not? |
| A26864 | But Sir, what''s the cause of this sudden change? |
| A26864 | But all the force of your Argument is from your dangerous addition, which, who will take for good Exposition? |
| A26864 | But before the first question can be determined, the second must be raised and resolved,[ Utrum praestitit conditionem?] |
| A26864 | But can we say so of the present Conclusion in question? |
| A26864 | But doth that give you a liberty to assert what you list, or what can not be proved true, because all men see not the truth? |
| A26864 | But how much might be said against this? |
| A26864 | But if you ask on the offenders part, What it is that delivereth him as the condition? |
| A26864 | But if you ask only, What it is on her part that is the condition of enjoying these Benefits? |
| A26864 | But is the choice which he intimateth Real, as to the Act, and suited to the Object? |
| A26864 | But knew you not that it is not the thing in Question? |
| A26864 | But then how come you to say next, that it is Christs blood? |
| A26864 | But though faith be not the instrument of our Justification, may it not be called the instrument of receiving Christ? |
| A26864 | But what Covenant of God is t ● is? |
| A26864 | But what if all this had been left out, and you had proved the Moral Law, the only Rule of duty? |
| A26864 | But what is the meaning of your Minor, which you say is sealed? |
| A26864 | But what is this to the matter? |
| A26864 | But what is this to your major? |
| A26864 | But what mean these strange words of[ Activity and power received] if the instrument be not active? |
| A26864 | But what, is it another sort of them? |
| A26864 | But who can tell what you mean by a communication of actions? |
| A26864 | But why can not faith justifie unless it be working? |
| A26864 | But will a nude and crude Assertion change mens judgements? |
| A26864 | But you say, This is plain; to whom? |
| A26864 | But, alas, how invisible is the Proof of this in all your Writings? |
| A26864 | By what authority do you adde[ only] in your interpretation? |
| A26864 | Can the Covenant require perfection, and not require sincerity, when sincerity is contained in perfection? |
| A26864 | Can they be our Conditions and Gods too? |
| A26864 | Can you hence prove, that accepting Christ as Lord, is not the condition of our Justification? |
| A26864 | Can you prove the like,( yea and more) of faith, and will not? |
| A26864 | Credis in Patrem, filium& spiritum sanctum? |
| A26864 | Did not I acknowledge expresly as much imperfection as you here affirm of Paul ● s frame? |
| A26864 | Did you indeed imagine that I had denied that? |
| A26864 | Do you mean that you will read it there ready formed? |
| A26864 | Do you not know how ordinarily even saving Faith it self is denominated from the Intellectual Act alone? |
| A26864 | Do you not oft read in Divines of Justificatio Juris, vel Legis, as distinct from Justificatio Judicis, vel per sententiam? |
| A26864 | Do you take the Precept de genere, to be equivalent to the Precepts de speciebus? |
| A26864 | Do you think I know not a Cause and Effect are so related, that formaliter it is not an efficient before it doth effect? |
| A26864 | Do you think Preachers yet be not bound to endeavour the sa ● ing Conversion of whole Nations? |
| A26864 | Do you think that any act of faith is Justification? |
| A26864 | Doth Christ bid us Baptize men into the name of the Father, Son, and Holy- Ghost; and would you have us do this before they profess their consent? |
| A26864 | Doth God effect our Justification by the instrumentall, efficient causation of our faith? |
| A26864 | Doth he that sealeth the major of this following Syllogism, seal the Conclusion? |
| A26864 | Doth it follow that a Nation is not capable of sound faith, because they have it not? |
| A26864 | Doth it follow that faith gives efficacy and power to the Covenant to justifie? |
| A26864 | Doth it follow that therefore either faith makes it an in ● trument, or is an instrument it self? |
| A26864 | Doth it not plainly imply that there are and must be positive Laws instituting a way of worship? |
| A26864 | Doth not mutual consent expressed go before the sealing of the Covenant? |
| A26864 | Especially when they finde us making this the main part of the Protestant Cause, what wonder ▪ if they judge our Cause naught? |
| A26864 | For my self it is not much Matter: but must Gods Truth( for such I take it) stand as a Butt for every man to shoot at? |
| A26864 | For none can forgive sins but God only, even to another: but who can forgive himself? |
| A26864 | For who can imagine but that the young Popish Students will be confirmed in the rest of their Religion, when they finde that we erre in these? |
| A26864 | For your Argument, I grant the Conclusion; and what would you have more? |
| A26864 | Further, it''s considerable, what Righteousness it is that the Prophet there speaks of, whether universal or particular? |
| A26864 | Have you a fuller evidence that you are a sincere Believer, then you have that, All sincere Believers are Justified? |
| A26864 | He was justified by works: and the Scripture was fulfilled, which saith, he was justified by faith? |
| A26864 | Here now if the Question be, What it is on his part that Redeemed her? |
| A26864 | How do you make Faith and Repentance to be Conditions of the Covenant on our part, seeing the bestowing of them is part of the condition on Gods part? |
| A26864 | How easily are all these affirmed? |
| A26864 | How else could you next say, that they are guiltie of hypocrisie? |
| A26864 | How ill is Soveraignty put in stead of the Soveraign? |
| A26864 | How is faith more fitly called an instrument? |
| A26864 | How many times over and over, do Christ and his Apostles promise pardon and salvation to all that believe in Christ, without distinction of believing? |
| A26864 | How nakedly is it again affirmed, without the least proof, that our faith is Gods instrument in justifying? |
| A26864 | How otherwise do these accord? |
| A26864 | How then can we scire certitudinem, nisi sciendo aliquam Certitudinis Evidentiam? |
| A26864 | I asserted, serve to warrant the Prophets comparison, without our denying the perfection of Being? |
| A26864 | I can not blame the Reader if he be weary of this long Apolo ● ● ● ▪ and ask, To what purpose are all these words? |
| A26864 | I told you this when I saw you, and you asked me, Whether Mr C. were against it? |
| A26864 | IS not[ Righteousness] or[ Holiness] as Scriptural, as Logical, as plain a term, and as fit for Disputants, as[ Gospel- frame?] |
| A26864 | If but sometimes, Why do you take it for granted that it so signifies here? |
| A26864 | If divers, shew us what they are; and which part of its power and efficacy the Gospel receives from faith, and which from God? |
| A26864 | If gracious Habits are properly called instruments of the soul, then so may other Habits: And why is not this language more in use among Logicians? |
| A26864 | If it be askt What is it that Honoureth or Enricheth him? |
| A26864 | If so, shew us the Chapter and Verse? |
| A26864 | If they are the same, then God must convey justifying efficacy and power into faith first, and by faith into the Gospel: which who imagineth? |
| A26864 | If you will have a Syllogism of Gods making, why did you not tell us when or where you found it? |
| A26864 | In what Book that ever was written have these nice distinguishers proved their Doctrine by Scripture or sound reason? |
| A26864 | In what sense is that called Outward? |
| A26864 | Is Righteousness by the Law of works? |
| A26864 | Is here ever a word for the Gospels receiving its efficacy to Justification by faith? |
| A26864 | Is it all one to prove it and to be in order to prove it, to seal it and to be in order to the sealing of it? |
| A26864 | Is it an Absolute and simple Proposition or Enunciation, as you express it? |
| A26864 | Is it not against the nature and common use of Sealing ▪ that it should be in order before the Promise or Covenant? |
| A26864 | Is it not enough that you take the Word to be a passive instrument of Confirmation and Conversion? |
| A26864 | Is it only a consent to have God called thei ● God, and themselves named his people? |
| A26864 | Is not a Covenant, Contract, Deed of gift, the most proper instrumental efficient cause of the duness of the thing given or conveyed? |
| A26864 | Is not a praemiant or priviledging law, in the most strict and proper sense the Legislators instrument, effecting the debitum praemii vel privelegii? |
| A26864 | Is not here a curious Doctrine of Faith and Justification? |
| A26864 | Is not that to be a Cause and no Cause? |
| A26864 | Is not the Potentia here meant, Potentia efficiendi? |
| A26864 | Is not the Testament of a man the most strict and proper instrument of conveying right of the Legacy to the Legatary? |
| A26864 | Is not this consent necessarie in our present case? |
| A26864 | Is not this true of Moral operations as well as Physical? |
| A26864 | Is not this true of moral operations as well as Physical? |
| A26864 | Is taking a name, entering into Covenant? |
| A26864 | Is that your Conclusion? |
| A26864 | Is the Conclusion proved on the proof of one Proposition? |
| A26864 | Is the act of faith the eye of the soul as distinct from sight? |
| A26864 | Is the performer of the condition of[ Gratefull consent] no willing Agent, unless an efficient Cause? |
| A26864 | Is there any thing in the whole world that can m ● r ● unfi ● ly be called a passive instrument, then the Covenant of Justification? |
| A26864 | Is there not more inconvenience in saying that both the Grant is Conditional, and yet also that it is but Conditionally sealed? |
| A26864 | Is this indeed the Controversie? |
| A26864 | Is this your meaning, that my exceptions would hold, if faith were only mans instrument, or only Gods; but not when it is both? |
| A26864 | It is God that justifieth, who is he that condemneth? |
| A26864 | It is pitty that the Reader should be troubled with so much, about so low a question, which of us two doth best express our meaning? |
| A26864 | It is then those that are so, and are called so: But will it not serve, if they are so, unless called so? |
| A26864 | Know ye not, that as many as were Baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death? |
| A26864 | MR Baxter sayes, The great question is, whether they seal to the Conclusion, as they do to the major Proposition? |
| A26864 | Moreover, did Christ in Instituting these Ordinances and Officers, do any more then was done before, or not? |
| A26864 | Moreover, doth not the Scripture call Christ a Lawgiver? |
| A26864 | Must I then differ from none? |
| A26864 | Must any sound believer then be Baptised? |
| A26864 | Must the Spirit needs be our instrument, because it is[ By] the Spirit? |
| A26864 | Must there be such Liberty of opposing it, and none of Defending? |
| A26864 | Nay doth not your arguing intimate that the believer is more assured that Christ is given to him, then that pardon is given him? |
| A26864 | Next you say[ Why else is this Righteousness sometime called the Righteousness of faith? |
| A26864 | No, nor with him neither? |
| A26864 | Now I would know of him, whether God require them to make this engagement seriously, sincerely,& firmato animo, or not? |
| A26864 | Now which of these perfections of Righteousness do you deny? |
| A26864 | Now who knows not that salvation is made the Portion of Believers, Saints, Disciples? |
| A26864 | O Death, where is thy sling? |
| A26864 | O Grave, where is thy victory? |
| A26864 | O that you had condescended so far to your Readers weakness, as to have deigned to shew him, Quomodo patitur Evangelium recipiendo? |
| A26864 | ONe that had not read what I write, would think by your Answer, that I had made a doubt whether there be any Law made to Christ at all or not? |
| A26864 | Or are the Pardon and Acceptance one compleat instrument? |
| A26864 | Or do you mean that in the Institution, God gives you the materials, and you form it your selves? |
| A26864 | Or else if the former were not quid notius, how could it be a fit medium? |
| A26864 | Or if you took it for the whole Law of nature, is that the only Rule? |
| A26864 | Or is it a Conditional one? |
| A26864 | Or is it more fit to call the Traytors Acceptance, the instrument of his Pardon, then the Kings Act? |
| A26864 | Or why may not James by concession preoccupate an objection? |
| A26864 | Quanto s ● tius est ire aperta via,& recta, quam sibi ipsi flexus disponere, quos cum magna molestia debeas relegere? |
| A26864 | Quid ergo? |
| A26864 | Quid est igitur Credulitas vel fides? |
| A26864 | Quid illius pallorem? |
| A26864 | Quid lenioribus verbis ulcus publicum abscondam? |
| A26864 | Saw you not this when you wrote it? |
| A26864 | Shall I tell him that he dissembleth, and is not Willing? |
| A26864 | So that when we must be justified, the Question will not be,[ Hast thou believed and obeyed perfectly?] |
| A26864 | Sometimes the Righteousness of God which is by faith; but that it is a Righteousness which faith receives?] |
| A26864 | Suppose you speak true, as you do, if you mean it only of Meriting our cleansing: What is this to our Question? |
| A26864 | Tell us then what actual seeing and receiving is? |
| A26864 | That faith is the instrument of Justification? |
| A26864 | That is, that it is truly Righteousness? |
| A26864 | That is, the real choice of such a Christ as is offered, and on such terms? |
| A26864 | The Promise is to you and your children; arguing a Right to the Seal, from an Interest in the Promise? |
| A26864 | The first question in judgement being[ An sit obligatus ad paenam, vel non? |
| A26864 | The like may be said of Gods part? |
| A26864 | These Mr. Cotton cals half promises( as who knows but the Lord may do thus and thus? |
| A26864 | This must be your meaning, by your first words: But then which of these is the most principal cause, and which the subordinate? |
| A26864 | Twisse saith, An audebit Arminianus aliquis affirmare Remissionem pec ● ● torum esse effectionem fidei? |
| A26864 | WHat mean you by gathering it? |
| A26864 | WHether you take holiness as signifying a Quality or Relation, there is no doubt but it hath its form, or else it could not have a Being? |
| A26864 | What confusion is it to talk of the moral Law being the only Rule, when it is not one thing that is called the moral Law? |
| A26864 | What if I should grant all this? |
| A26864 | What is the Condition that you mean? |
| A26864 | What is the second Commandment for the Affirmative part, but a general precept to worship God according to his Positive Institution? |
| A26864 | What mean you to say Obedience and Valour was not their Justification? |
| A26864 | What more proper to the truly sanctified? |
| A26864 | What say you for matter of duty, to the positive Precepts of the Gospel? |
| A26864 | What that Delivered her? |
| A26864 | What that enriched her? |
| A26864 | What that honoured her? |
| A26864 | What then shall I resolve on? |
| A26864 | What then? |
| A26864 | What though the Word without faith is no instrument? |
| A26864 | What''s that to this? |
| A26864 | What? |
| A26864 | What? |
| A26864 | What? |
| A26864 | When Christ saith to us,[ If a Brother repent, forgive him] here by[ Repenting] doth Christ mean plainly Repenting, or the profession of it? |
| A26864 | When by the obedience of one many are made righteous? |
| A26864 | When did Mr Pemble prove that the Word or other objects are passive instruments? |
| A26864 | Whether a working faith only, and not a faith that is dead and idle? |
| A26864 | Whether it be[ Accepting Christ as Lord] or[ the blood of Christ] that justifieth? |
| A26864 | Whether the Sacraments seal the conditional Promise absolutely? |
| A26864 | Who knows not that praemiare& punire are acts of a Law? |
| A26864 | Who would have thought but you would rather have said[ Nor will God justifie man, unless his faith be the instrument of it?] |
| A26864 | Why did you express a Conditional Gift, in Absolute terms, leaving out the Condition? |
| A26864 | Why did you not give us one word for proof, that this Restipulation is a thing following Baptism? |
| A26864 | Why did you not name one line where I do confound the parts of Christs Offices? |
| A26864 | Why did you not offer some proof? |
| A26864 | Why did you not shew some reason of this ill consequence? |
| A26864 | Why do you still confound Christs real abode in us by his Spirit, with the relation we have upon Justification? |
| A26864 | Why else should they call them such, had not they seemed to be such, and professed it? |
| A26864 | Why is that? |
| A26864 | Why should it be proper to Dying men to be Wise, and to Judge truly of this world, when all the living undoubtedly know that they must Die? |
| A26864 | Why then do you intimate by your arguing as if I did not? |
| A26864 | Why, but how can we that know not the heart, know here when our Brother repenteth? |
| A26864 | Why, it is Gods only instrument of active Constitution of the dueness of the benefi ●? |
| A26864 | Will all your Readers take your complaint for a demonstration of the errour of what you complain of? |
| A26864 | Will you exclude also his Obedience, Resurrection, Intercession,& c? |
| A26864 | Would you have no more? |
| A26864 | Yet if any should in one Question include both, What on his part did save her from death? |
| A26864 | Your Conclusion is, therefore this the Sacrament sealeth; what is this? |
| A26864 | [ How holiness should be imperfect taken materially?] |
| A26864 | and What justifieth, or is required to our Justification ex parte peccatoris? |
| A26864 | and all the work that it doth on the souls of your hearers really? |
| A26864 | and her taking him as Rich, or to enrich her, is the sole condition of her enriching? |
| A26864 | and her taking him to Dignifie her, is the sole condition of her Dignity? |
| A26864 | and if so( then which nothing more certain) are not these then so farre our righteousness against that accusation to be pleaded? |
| A26864 | and is not all effection by action? |
| A26864 | and so whether it be a mutual Covenant, and both parties be actually obliged? |
| A26864 | and that this Restipulation is an essential part of the contract, called stipulation? |
| A26864 | and that''s all that the Text saith: But may not the absence of faith hinder, unless when present it doth effect? |
| A26864 | and the hand as distinct from receiving? |
| A26864 | and what Death man should have dyed, in case Christ had not been promised? |
| A26864 | and what on her part? |
| A26864 | and what silken ears the Preachers of humility have themselves? |
| A26864 | and whether Legal, consisting in absolute perfection; or Evangelical, consisting in sincerity? |
| A26864 | and who knows what you mean? |
| A26864 | and why not in this point as well as another? |
| A26864 | and will judge by these of the rest of our Doctrine? |
| A26864 | and yet no active instrument? |
| A26864 | and, Whether the Obligation to Punishment be dissolved before we Believed, sinned, or were born? |
| A26864 | and[ By what are we justified ex parte nostri?] |
| A26864 | and[ Whom are we to judge such and use as such?] |
| A26864 | aut utrum fides i d communicavit quod nunquam habuit? |
| A26864 | but doth that prove him or his faith the efficient cause of his own pardon and Justification? |
| A26864 | but whether it be so properly and indeed? |
| A26864 | doth it follow that therefore it is the only Rule? |
| A26864 | if it be so unquestionably proper? |
| A26864 | illius maciem notas? |
| A26864 | is he but a pretender to Hypocrisie, that takes on him a Christian, when he is none? |
| A26864 | of Baptism, the Lords Supper, the Lords day, the Officers and Government of the Church,& c. Is the Law of nature the only Rule for these? |
| A26864 | or any shew of advantage to your Cause? |
| A26864 | or are they divers? |
| A26864 | or doth Scripture use to divide Saints, as the Genus into two Species? |
| A26864 | or onely unsound believers and Infidels that will promise to believe hereafter? |
| A26864 | or only an offer which conveys not Right till it be Accepted on the terms on which its offered? |
| A26864 | or should you have expected it? |
| A26864 | or that, I take it to be meerly or primarily de fide, that Scripture is Gods Revelation? |
| A26864 | or the conclusion conditionally, when only one of the Premises is of Divine Revelation? |
| A26864 | or through our own meritorious Works? |
| A26864 | or to be a sufficient Rule without them? |
| A26864 | or why did God assign faith to this office? |
| A26864 | or why should I be so vain as to stand to confute it? |
| A26864 | or will not have it? |
| A26864 | s ● y, It is a Repentance short of that which is saving, that is here required; I would he would describe it to us, and tell us wherein it is short? |
| A26864 | say that we must not honour them, lest we mistake and give that honour to one that hath no right to it? |
| A26864 | say therefore that none is obliged to forgive? |
| A26864 | shall we Baptize them first, and ask them whether they believe and consent after? |
| A26864 | those that are called professed Christians, and are not? |
| A26864 | though they know not what Christ or Christianity is? |
| A26864 | utrum eminenter an formaliter? |
| A26864 | was there any mention of Absolute Granting? |
| A26864 | what is it to our present question? |
| A26864 | what reports spread abroad? |
| A26864 | when I have professedly published the contrary, before those Arguments? |
| A26864 | when yet you''l confess the Will is necessarily an Agent in this? |
| A26864 | which he concludes in the Affirmative: The other, What faith justifieth? |
| A26864 | yea from no Learned Divines? |
| A26864 | 〈 ◊ 〉 you must feign the Word to be the passive instrument of Justification too? |
| A26998 | 15? |
| A26998 | 8. make such a stir to Correct the Latin? |
| A26998 | Alexandria, Antioch, or Jerusalem, can never Err, or Apostatize, or be Invisible? |
| A26998 | An Argument liker a Derision, than a serious Proof: Did not the Pope then Err, when Bishops and Councils have in vain called him to Repent? |
| A26998 | And all that were for Images, and those that were against them,& c.? |
| A26998 | And all that were for the Monothelites? |
| A26998 | And are these out of the Church? |
| A26998 | And are you sure that they are their Bones? |
| A26998 | And ask them whether Pope, or Council, have ever yet written an Infallible Commentary on the Bible, or all such difficult Texts? |
| A26998 | And did not Peters Faith fail as to part of that Victory, when he Curst and Swore that he knew not the Man? |
| A26998 | And do not all the Lutherans keep them in their Churches? |
| A26998 | And doth any Protestant Church deny this? |
| A26998 | And hath God promised Virtue to all their Bones? |
| A26998 | And have they not reason to challenge the sole Interpreting of it? |
| A26998 | And his Spirit in his Prophets and Apostles to write and Record it? |
| A26998 | And how know you that all were Saints that the Pope calleth so? |
| A26998 | And how shall we know, when above twenty times there have been two Popes at once, which of them is the Right? |
| A26998 | And if Peter had had such, what''s that to the Pope of Rome? |
| A26998 | And if one can not live chastly without Marriage, and Parents command it, it is not a Sin to refuse? |
| A26998 | And if the question be, Whether any Pope, Council or Church, understand all the Scripture without any Errour? |
| A26998 | And if these men think otherwise, why must this Opinion more than Ten thousand such, be obtruded as necessary on all others? |
| A26998 | And in what Sence do they give them the Eucharist? |
| A26998 | And is he sure that all the people in the outer Court, prayed they knew not what, or in an unknown Tongue? |
| A26998 | And is it not by his Law that God Governeth, and by his Gospel that Christ Saveth, and the Holy Ghost doth illuminate and Sanctifie? |
| A26998 | And is it only Counsel and no Command, to Marry or not Marry, as it makes to Gods Glory or against it? |
| A26998 | And is it so? |
| A26998 | And is not the Christian World, the Church Vniversal? |
| A26998 | And is not this the true Doctrine of all true Christians? |
| A26998 | And is that Jesuit honest that feigneth this proper to the Protestants, where the Controversie is the same among themselves? |
| A26998 | And is there any disputing where no principle is agreed on? |
| A26998 | And is this on Sin? |
| A26998 | And is this the Holy Catholick Church? |
| A26998 | And must all these go to Hell? |
| A26998 | And must we indeed believe, that the Popes Faith never failed, because Peters did not? |
| A26998 | And must we not do so, if the World, the Flesh, and the Devil, say one thing, and Christ another? |
| A26998 | And now what saith the Deceiver against all this? |
| A26998 | And send his Son to Preach it? |
| A26998 | And the Rhemists turn it into English? |
| A26998 | And those that were against them? |
| A26998 | And those that were against them? |
| A26998 | And was as free from every Fault, Thought, Passion, Desire, Fear, Care, Trouble, Pleasure, Word and Deed as God commanded? |
| A26998 | And what Knowledge is it, but Divine, of the Word and Law of God? |
| A26998 | And what but flat opposition to Christ, should move these men to forbid one half of his Sacrament, which he calls the New- Testament in his blood? |
| A26998 | And what if those Souls should prove to be in Purgatory? |
| A26998 | And what meaneth the man to rail at them, that say So be it, instead of Amen? |
| A26998 | And what the better then is their Church for their feigned skill and power, infallibly to decide difficult Scripture Controversies? |
| A26998 | And when Baronius, Binnius,& c. tell us of famous Whores,( Marozia, and Theodora,) that made, and Ruled and unmade Popes, how was the World Governed? |
| A26998 | And when General Councils accuse them of Errour, and Condemn them, which is to be trusted with our Souls? |
| A26998 | And when they contradict and Damn each other, which of them must we believe? |
| A26998 | And whether Popes and Priests Volumes are not as unskilfully written, as Gods, and as like to draw Men to Heresie and Sin? |
| A26998 | And whether the Church of Rome, and the Christian World, be Words of the same signification in any Dictionary? |
| A26998 | And whether your own Jesuits confess not that Rome shall do so too, in the Reign of Antichrist? |
| A26998 | And who doubts but the Devil tells them that they shall thereby obtain everlasting Life? |
| A26998 | And who is that Idolatrous persecuting Beast? |
| A26998 | And why did so many Popes contradict each other? |
| A26998 | And why do so many Comment on them? |
| A26998 | And why doth God so aften call on Believers to Rejoyce, if they can not know whether they shall be in Heaven and Hell for ever? |
| A26998 | And why have we all our Statutes, Records, and Law- Books, if the Lawyers and Peoples Memories would keep and deliver them without these? |
| A26998 | And why must we know how much they know? |
| A26998 | And why must we needs know whether ever such Souls appeared? |
| A26998 | And why not Lutherans under Lutherans also? |
| A26998 | And why not as well Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, or Jerusalem, the Mother Church? |
| A26998 | And will you therefore slander the rest? |
| A26998 | Are all workers of Miracles? |
| A26998 | Are blind Worms fit to accuse God of Folly, and needless Work? |
| A26998 | Are none of these Protestants? |
| A26998 | Are not the Statues of Kings at the Exchange, the Stocks- Market, Chaering- Cross? |
| A26998 | Are there no Images on our Coyn? |
| A26998 | Are there none of their Shops in London, or Holland? |
| A26998 | Are they not continued in most Church- Windows in England? |
| A26998 | Ask them which way they know and keep their Traditions? |
| A26998 | But I pray you tell me, whether the Pope and his Prelates, do not interpret Scripture by their own understandings? |
| A26998 | But ask this Deceiver, Must the Church have none to Govern by the Sword? |
| A26998 | But at least it''s true of the Calvinists or Puritans? |
| A26998 | But did not the second Council at Ephesus Err? |
| A26998 | But do Protestants say, that there is nothing in the Scripture hard to be understood? |
| A26998 | But hath this man no Scripture,( against Scripture?) |
| A26998 | But how shall all the poor People know what the Pope and Councils say and hold? |
| A26998 | But perhaps he meant not that it is possible to keep all the Commands, for all our Lives, but for some short time? |
| A26998 | But see the Heresies of Popery? |
| A26998 | But suppose Christs blessing had been Crossing: With what Face do they feign Protestants in England, to be against Crossing in the Forehead? |
| A26998 | But we must not hastily believe any thing that false accusers say? |
| A26998 | But what are his Proofs? |
| A26998 | But what if it were Lawful to Paint God? |
| A26998 | But what is all this for, but to help Men to understand the Book? |
| A26998 | But what is it that the Infallible Church can not make good, when they have once presumed to affirm it? |
| A26998 | But what is the Man''s pretence for this erroneous Confidence? |
| A26998 | But what proof have you of Virtue proceeding from Bones, till you see it by experience? |
| A26998 | But what say we to the Sacrifice of the Mass? |
| A26998 | But what? |
| A26998 | But whether their Teachers must teach them to understand God''s Book, or to throw it away? |
| A26998 | But why then are they against drinking his blood, when actually they draw it out by streams? |
| A26998 | But why then do they not confirm their Canons by Miracles as the Apostles did? |
| A26998 | Can Men obey God''s Law that know it not? |
| A26998 | Can a Man judge without his own understanding? |
| A26998 | Can any Man unriddle what this Deceiver meaneth? |
| A26998 | Can any of your Casuists deny this? |

| A26998 | Did you never see Beza and others, Icones virorum illustrium, nor Mr. Samuel Clerk''s Lives with Images? |
| A26998 | Do Kings and Prelates Rule Men, or Dogs, and Brutes? |
| A26998 | Do all these serve for nothing to the Church? |
| A26998 | Do none but Papists make or sell Pictures? |
| A26998 | Do not their Commentaries tell the difficulty? |
| A26998 | Do not their people assemble to their Mass? |
| A26998 | Do not they say that the Marriage of Priests, Fryars and Nuns are Sin? |

| A26998 | Do you Preach to Men, or Beasts, that have no understanding of God''s Law and Will? |

| A26998 | Doth their Priest celebrate their Mass alone, out of the peoples sight or hearing, in a Sanctuary while they are in the outer Court? |
| A26998 | Every Knave may pervert the Law of the Land to maintain his own ill Cause; and must the Law therefore be forbidden them? |

| A26998 | How little use do they feign such men to have of a pardoning Saviour? |
| A26998 | If he do, how doth he supply the place of the Ideots, that are supposed should say Amen, and can not? |
| A26998 | If not, Paul saith, How can he say Amen? |
| A26998 | If not, is it because they can not, or because they will not? |
| A26998 | If not, why did God write part of it himself? |
| A26998 | If they Erred not in their Decrees, doth it follow that therefore they had no Errour? |

| A26998 | Paul calls it Bread after the Consecration, three times in the three next Verses: And would they have Burnt Paul for a Heretick? |
| A26998 | Peter never Exercised any such Power; what mention is there of any Laws or Mandates of his to the other Apostles? |
| A26998 | Psalm, the 145, and all the rest that Magnifie the works of God? |
| A26998 | Reader, is it not worse than Infidelity that these Men teach, if they say that the Church hath not Erred? |
| A26998 | Should the Jews have believed the Church, that Christ was a Blasphemer, Deceiver and Traytor, and the Apostles Seditious Fellows? |

| A26998 | These are no matters of Faith with them? |
| A26998 | They can neither read their Volumes, nor understand them, nor know which are authentick and true? |
| A26998 | This is the first part of Preaching it: If not, why do they use Translations in the Church of Rome, the Septuagint ▪ and the Vulgar Latin? |
| A26998 | To whom will ye liken God? |

| A26998 | Was it no Error when Aaron set them up the Golden- Calf? |
| A26998 | Were all the Councils free from Errour that were for the Arrians? |
| A26998 | Were there none such in the World, must we be put to prove where there were any Christians before Luther? |

| A26998 | What can be more shameless than this pretence, in Men that will not do it, nor ever did? |
| A26998 | What can they devise against these plain words? |
| A26998 | What hope of ending any Controversies with Papists, that agree not with us in the credit of Senses as Heathens do? |
| A26998 | What if he be as very a Deceiver as the writer of this Touchstone, that doth but Cheat from the beginning to the end? |
| A26998 | What if his Parishoners know him to be ignorant, or a common Lyar? |
| A26998 | What if we obey him in Error, and Sin, will he undertake to be Damned for us? |
| A26998 | What is all the Scripture for, and all our Religion, but to make sure of our Salvation? |

| A26998 | Where is there one word of God for this? |
| A26998 | Where they tell us that Sola Petri Navicula, only the Popes Messengers escaped the Heresie? |
| A26998 | Whether Christ and all his Preparations shall be lost? |

| A26998 | Whether the Law was not darker than the Gospel? |
| A26998 | Whether the man mean that they may be saved by Baptism without their Parents Faith? |
| A26998 | Whether they have any History, Records, or any other way which we may not know as well as they? |
| A26998 | Whether they writ not their Recorded Epistles to the Vulgar, even to all the Churches? |
| A26998 | Which part is it that is the whole, or indefectible? |
| A26998 | Who can say more against Free- Will? |
| A26998 | Who could more ignorantly have stated a Controversie? |
| A26998 | Whose Sacraments can we think are these? |
| A26998 | Whose understandings else do they judge by, in Conclaves or Councils? |
| A26998 | Why are not these forbidden? |
| A26998 | Why are they not con ● ● ● ● ed to use it themselves, but they must force all others to it as necessary? |
| A26998 | Why do they Baptize all, if they have no Sin? |
| A26998 | Why do they compose all their Liturgies and Offices for their Churches, with Confessions of Sin; and Prayers for Forgiveness? |
| A26998 | Why do they themselves write their pretended Traditions, if writing them were not needful? |
| A26998 | Why doth God lay down so many signs to difference the Children of God from the Children of the Devil, if they can not be discerned? |
| A26998 | Why else do these Priests force all men to confess their Sins to them, if men be such as never sinned? |
| A26998 | Why may you not be contented to have a painted God your selves? |
| A26998 | Why not also forbidden to Read Statutes, Canons, Fathers, Jesuits, Fryars, and the Loads of Papists Controversies? |
| A26998 | Why take they it not at best, as part of their Works of Supererrogation? |
| A26998 | Why then can not you keep your[ may] to your selves? |
| A26998 | Will they stand to it, that their Church renounceth all worship of God in Holy Assemblies, save by the Priest alone? |
| A26998 | Will you be jealous against those that bow not to a painted God, as God is jealous against those that do it? |
| A26998 | Yet must we take his word instead of Gods? |
| A26998 | You know, that the English Bishops practise Confirmation, and the Liturgy describeth it as I here do: And are the Church of England no Protestants? |
| A26998 | agreed for the Popes deposing Princes that Exterminate not all out of their Dominions that deny Transubstantiation,& c. Was this no Errour? |
| A26998 | all Kings and Nations must be subject to his Subject? |
| A26998 | and by the Memories of all the Prelates and Priests that have pretended to be the Church? |
| A26998 | and should we be forbid to read it? |
| A26998 | are Catholick, be not as good Sence, as a Roman Catholick? |
| A26998 | is Rome all the World? |
| A26998 | must such things as these be disputed by Men that would be our Infallible Rule? |
| A26998 | next the Sin of Lucifer and Antichrist, or rather plain Antichristianism it self? |
| A26998 | nor when they went after the Idols of the Heathen, and worshipped in the High places? |
| A26998 | or Babylon? |
| A26998 | or the Ten- Horned, or Two- Horned Beast in the Revelations? |
| A26998 | or whether there was ever such persons as K. James, K. Charles, Ludovicus 14 ▪ of France,& c.? |
| A26998 | was to delight in the Law of the Lord, and meditate in it Day and Night? |
| A26998 | what not in all the Canons? |
| A26998 | yea, or of the best? |
| A26998 | yea, that they ought not to endeavour to make it sure? |
| A26862 | & that which hath had a great hand in turning many learned men from the Protestant Religion to Popery? |
| A26862 | & upon the terms of the first severer Covenant? |
| A26862 | 1 DOth not the Apostle say, that as touching the Righteousness which is in the Law, he was blameless? |
| A26862 | 2. Who ever called Habits, or Dispositions, the souls Instruments? |
| A26862 | 2. whether in his suffering and our escape the threatning of the Law was executed or dispensed with? |
| A26862 | 27. what can be plainer? |
| A26862 | 27. where( among other things) hee telleth you that Apud Romanos seu ferenda esset Lex, populus rogabatur an ferrivellet? |
| A26862 | 39, 40, And must not they strive to enter in at the straight gate, and lay violent hands on the Kingdome of Heaven? |
| A26862 | 4, 5, 6? |
| A26862 | 5. that for these things sake cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience? |
| A26862 | 6, Do you not think that you may and must seek after the enjoyment of God in those beginnings and fore- tasts which are here to be expected? |
| A26862 | A great question it is, Whether Remission and Justification be immanent or transient Acts of God? |
| A26862 | Againe, doe you meane an habituall qualification or an Actuall? |
| A26862 | Also doth not the Scripture bid us Repent, believe, and be baptized for the remission of sinnes; but not first to believe the Remission of our sinnes? |
| A26862 | And Moses, because he had respect to the recompence of Reward? |
| A26862 | And all that cloud of witnesses obey and suffer, that they might attain a better Resurrection? |
| A26862 | And are not Precepts to put us on to dutie? |
| A26862 | And can it be any other then the obtaining of the fruition of God in Heaven? |
| A26862 | And do I after all this need to answer the Common objections, that it is mercenarie and slavish, to labour for salvation? |
| A26862 | And hath not every duty its end even for our selves? |
| A26862 | And hath that no hand in their Iustification, which giveth them right to the tree of Life? |
| A26862 | And how will these mistaken Teachers help them to comfort? |
| A26862 | And if Love be an Act of the same Will, and have the same Object with Consent, Election, Acceptance,& c. Why should it not then be the same Act? |
| A26862 | And if dispensed with, how it can stand with the truth and justice of God? |
| A26862 | And if so, whether his misery on Earth should have bin more then men doe now endure? |
| A26862 | And if the righteous be scarcely saved, what shall become of them that thought it unlawfull to labour for salvation? |
| A26862 | And if we are not one reall Person with Christ, then one what? |
| A26862 | And is not earnest praying for life, pardon, and salvation, some proper kind of doing? |
| A26862 | And is not this properly a condition required of the party if he will enjoy the thing promised? |
| A26862 | And is remission and justification the immediate effect of Christs death? |
| A26862 | And might he not conclude his Justification from that Willingness to obey? |
| A26862 | And now the Question is, whether Christs suffering were the payment of the very debt, or of somewhat else in its stead? |
| A26862 | And once more let me intreat you to consider, whether there be any hope of that mans salvation, who shall reduce this your doctrine into his practise? |
| A26862 | And so whether the new Covenant do at all command us perfect obedience? |
| A26862 | And that beleeving is needless, not only as to our Justification, but to any other use: For what need one thing be so twice done? |
| A26862 | And then whether the new Covenant be not absolute? |
| A26862 | And what Law( to speak properly) did binde him to them? |
| A26862 | And what are the conditionall promises for, but to stirre us up to believe and to performe the conditions, that so we may enjoy the promised good? |
| A26862 | And what death it is that perishing infants die, or that our guilt in the first transgression doth procure? |
| A26862 | And what is that but to fear the losse of Heaven, or to fear Hell? |
| A26862 | And what saith Grotius more then this? |
| A26862 | And whether sinners may thence be encouraged to conceive some hope of a relaxation of the threatnings in the Gospell? |
| A26862 | And whether the faithfull may not feare lest God may relaxe a promise as well as a threatning? |
| A26862 | And whether the losse of Gods Image were part of the death threatned, or rather the effect of our sinne onely, executed by our selves, and not by God? |
| A26862 | And whether those that seek not, and labour not for it, be not shut out? |
| A26862 | And who dare say, that Faith hath such an influx into our Justification? |
| A26862 | And why are the Threatnings but with the fear of the evill threatned to deterre us from the sinne, and to the dutie? |
| A26862 | And why not to our entire continued justification on earth? |
| A26862 | And why then should we think that we were immediately delivered from the guilt and condemnation? |
| A26862 | And yet do you think you may not act or work for life and salvation? |
| A26862 | And yet you know well enough, that this excuseth not you from your duty; and why then should it excuse you from using means for your soul? |
| A26862 | Are not all these promises to wicked men? |
| A26862 | Are you in Heaven already? |
| A26862 | As 1. what death it was that Christ redeemed us from? |
| A26862 | Besides, if any of these three could have been taken off, what need Christ have dyed? |
| A26862 | But God dealeth with his Creature by way of legall government? |
| A26862 | But I pray you tell me, Have you received all the life and mercy you do expect? |
| A26862 | But all the question is, whether we may do it that we may live? |
| A26862 | But doth it therefore follow, that Christ dispenseth then to none but those that are in him? |
| A26862 | But how shall we know that? |
| A26862 | But how then is Ahabs and Nineve''s humiliation accepted, and such other works of those that are not in Christ, seeing they are yet under the Law? |
| A26862 | But how would you comfort such a one, that faith he can not beleeve? |
| A26862 | But is not this Antinomianism, which you so detest? |
| A26862 | But is not this conditionall promise made to them before they return? |
| A26862 | But now St. Iames his question is, What is the Condition of our Justification by this Righteousness of Christ? |
| A26862 | But the great Question is, Whether the Sacrament do seal to the conclusion also, That I am justified, and shall be saved? |
| A26862 | But though Faith be not the Instrument of Justification; may it not be called the Instrument of receiving Christ who Justifieth us? |
| A26862 | But what difference is there betwixt it and the Socinian Doctrin of Justification? |
| A26862 | But when shall I take him for one that will not heare the Church? |
| A26862 | But whether to this alone, is all the doubt? |
| A26862 | But your doubt may be, whether they did not deserve damnation while they were in their unbelief for resisting Grace? |
| A26862 | But, is our personal Righteousness perfect as it is measured by the New Rule? |
| A26862 | By what Law? |
| A26862 | Can Justice refuse to accept of such a payment? |
| A26862 | Can any more be said of Faith, then that we are justified or judged to Life, both[ for] it, and[ according to] it? |
| A26862 | Consider then, if even many that seek to enter shall not be able, whether they are like to enter that never seek? |
| A26862 | Did ever any sober man make such a Covenant with Christ, as to promise him never to sin against him? |
| A26862 | Did he not deall with him in rigorous Justice? |
| A26862 | Did he obey a Law not yet made? |
| A26862 | Did not Abraham obey because he looked for a Citie which had foundations? |
| A26862 | Did not God give Cain a title to his Superiority and Government, and the Israelites Title to the Land of Promise? |
| A26862 | Did not Paul therefore keep under his bodie, and bring it into subjection, lest when he had preached to others, himself should be a cast- away? |
| A26862 | Do I need to apply this in the present case or can not every man apply it? |
| A26862 | Do men enquire after that, and lament the want of it, which they are not willing to have? |
| A26862 | Do not all that confesse themselves strangers on earth, plainlie declare that they seek another Countrie? |
| A26862 | Do you all this in meer love, or thankfulnesse, or from obedience which hath no further end? |
| A26862 | Do you not forget to make a difference betwixt earth and Heaven? |
| A26862 | Do you not hereby insinuate an accusation of vanity at least against God and his Lawes? |
| A26862 | Do you think you may act for your naturall life, to preserve it, or recover and repair any decayings in it? |
| A26862 | Doe these men thinke that we are perfectly justified and saved already? |
| A26862 | Doe you meane it is a qualification which he hath before the Promise is made to him? |
| A26862 | Doth his Law threaten, or did we in our Covenant consent, that we should be condemned if ever we committed a gross sin? |
| A26862 | Doth it not much confirm the world in their soul- cozening Faith? |
| A26862 | Doth it not needlesly constrain men to wrest most plain and frequent expressions of Scripture? |
| A26862 | Doth not almost all the Scripture for the doctrinall part consist of these? |
| A26862 | Doth not he that never believeth break this Law or Covenant, and incur the penalty? |
| A26862 | Doth not that clearely intimate, that Christ was not in the Obligation? |
| A26862 | Doth this Act effect by suffering? |
| A26862 | Else how could the Redeemed be by nature the children of wrath? |
| A26862 | FRom all this you may gather part of the Answer to your next Question: why I except against the book called, The Marrow of Modern Divinity? |
| A26862 | For if men do once beleeve, that it is not so much as a part of the Condition of their Justification, will it not much tend to relax their diligence? |
| A26862 | For is not Faith a work or act of ours? |
| A26862 | For is this Covenant made with Christ? |
| A26862 | For it is one thing to ask, whether it binde upon the old Covenant terms? |
| A26862 | For search the Scriptures impartially and consider, whether seeking Heaven be not necessarie to the obtaining of it? |
| A26862 | For( as Aquinus) The Action of the principall Cause and of the Instrument is one Action: and who dare say, that Faith is so Gods Instrument? |
| A26862 | Gods glory and your salvation, not disjunct, but conjunct, are all the businesse you have to look after: What do you live for? |
| A26862 | Had Christ, think you, a hard heart to cure? |
| A26862 | Hath not Christ redeemed your body also? |
| A26862 | Have you all the grace that you need or desire in degree? |
| A26862 | He promised and gave them both Prophets and Apostles; was it no promise or mercy, because they killed and persecuted them? |
| A26862 | He states the question far otherwise,( and yet supposeth it the same) viz, whether Christ paid the Idem, or the Tantundem? |
| A26862 | He that is not yet a sinner in the highest degree, is he not so far Righteous by a personall Righteousness? |
| A26862 | How Faith and Repentance are both promised of God, and required of us; Can they be his conditions and ours too? |
| A26862 | How can he call it, A gracious Acceptation, a gracious imputation, a free Application, if it were the same thing which the Law required that was paid? |
| A26862 | How can the Act of Believing( which hath no other being, but to be an Act) be possibly a Passive Instrument? |
| A26862 | How can you make it appear, that Do this and live is not the proper voyce of the Covenant of Works? |
| A26862 | How commonly doth Scripture joyn his Offices together, calling him usually, Our Lord and Saviour Iesus Christ? |
| A26862 | How could Christ be the Mediator of the Covenant, if it were to himself, and not to us, that the Covenant were made? |
| A26862 | How could the Precepts delivered by Moses( when the old Covenant was violated, and the new established) belong to that old Covenant? |
| A26862 | How far this Grace is resistible? |
| A26862 | How long will it be till all the curse be taken off the Beleevers, and Redemption have attained its full effect? |
| A26862 | How many score places in the Psalmes and Prophet, doe mention promises and Covenants of God to ungodly Israelites? |
| A26862 | How you will make it appear, that the new Covenant is not made with Christ only? |
| A26862 | I desire him to tell me, whether he can prove that any mans sinnes are pardoned before they have accepted Christ for their Lord? |
| A26862 | I pray you tell me, Do you ever use to pray or no? |
| A26862 | If Christ have fulfilled the new Covenant for us, as well as the old, what need we do it again? |
| A26862 | If Christ were before you, would you accept him, or reject him? |
| A26862 | If Works be not then considered as part of the Condition; how then? |
| A26862 | If he did, upon what conditions is that satisfaction enjoyed by us? |
| A26862 | If he say, I am not willing: I should ask; Why then do you look after it, or regard it? |
| A26862 | If it were granted that Christ did receive the Sacrament; yet he never did as an obedientiall Act to his own Gospell precepts? |
| A26862 | If not, why may you not labour for that you have not, as well as be thankfull for that you have? |
| A26862 | If sincere obedience be a part of the Condition, then what perplexities will it cast us into to finde out, when our obedience is sincere? |
| A26862 | If such a word were in Scripture, will he not confesse it to be figurative, and not proper, and so not fit for this Dispute? |
| A26862 | If the Law be relaxable, whether God might not have freely remitted the offence, and have spared his Son his satisfactory sufferings? |
| A26862 | If we are called holy, because of an imperfect Holiness: then why not righteous, because of an imperfect Righteousness? |
| A26862 | If you ask me further, Why did Christ chuse this rather then any thing else for the Condition? |
| A26862 | In what sence doth the Decalogue belong to the new Covenant? |
| A26862 | In what sence then is Faith said to be imputed to us for righteousness, if it be our Righteousness it self? |
| A26862 | Is it lesse worth, or doth not God require it, or will he not give you leave? |
| A26862 | Is it not a wonder that this lamentable Comforter should be so valued by the troubled spirits? |
| A26862 | Is it not said, that no whoremonger, or unclean person, or covetous person,& c. shall enter into the Kingdom of Christ, or of God? |
| A26862 | Is it not strange that Active justification should be perfected 5000. yeares before Passive justification is in being? |
| A26862 | Is it not then a likelier way to procure their consent, to treat with them in prison, then to let them out, and then treat? |
| A26862 | Is it onely for your body, or also for your soul? |
| A26862 | Is it onely that you may be thankfull for life and mercie? |
| A26862 | Is not this spoken to Unbeleevers? |
| A26862 | Is this Law? |
| A26862 | Isaac is Gods mouth in blessing Esau: Were all the Israelites godly, to whom the Land of Canaan was promised and given? |
| A26862 | It is agreed, that removens impedimentum quâ talis, is Causa sine quâ non: And doth not the greatest part of a Phisitians skill lye there? |
| A26862 | It yet remaines under dispute whether the Threat speak not de eventu, as to the sinne, though but de jure, as to the sinner? |
| A26862 | Lastlie, how is it that you do not see, that by this Doctrine you condemne not all the Saints onelie, but even the Lord himself? |
| A26862 | Lastly, Is not this excluding of sincere Obedience from Justification, the great stumbling block of Papists? |
| A26862 | Let us first therefore resolve that Question, what they seal? |
| A26862 | May not that be the end of your duties, care, fear, labour, watchfulnesse? |
| A26862 | May you not else as well give the seals to wicked men as the Covenant? |
| A26862 | May you not groan after him, and enquire, and turn the stream of your endeavours this way? |
| A26862 | Might not Paul conclude of the sincerity of his Willingness to obey Christ, because he did the evill which he would not? |
| A26862 | Most passages in Maccovius doe affirm but that Christ obeyed for us, as well as suffered for us; and who denyeth that? |
| A26862 | Must I be put to prove that the Apostles and Christ himself were not mercenarie slaves? |
| A26862 | Must not all that will have life, come to Christ, that they may have it? |
| A26862 | Nay, hath not God put you upon farre more for your soul, then for your body? |
| A26862 | Now is it such a legall slavish mercenary thing for a Christian to seek after the fruition of God? |
| A26862 | Now let us consider, how it sealeth? |
| A26862 | Now let us see, whether this were the same that Christ did suffer? |
| A26862 | Now the Question is which of the parts of this Argument the Sacrament doth seal to? |
| A26862 | Now what is it that makes the Covenant? |
| A26862 | Now what transient Act this is, and what its immediate reall Effect, who hath unfolded? |
| A26862 | Oh sweet and blessed End? |
| A26862 | Or can it require any more? |
| A26862 | Or doth Christ call us to such a Covenant? |
| A26862 | Or for such a ● Action as the killing of his onely Son would have been? |
| A26862 | Or have you as full a certainty of it hereafter, as you do desire? |
| A26862 | Or if so, whether there should have bin any Resurrection of the body after any certaine space of time, that so it might suffer as well as the soule? |
| A26862 | Or if you do, why may you not do as much for your soul, as for your body? |
| A26862 | Or into any place or state of torment short of Hell? |
| A26862 | Or that you might also improve them to some further advantage? |
| A26862 | Or to be carefull that he may not be everlastingly deprived of it? |
| A26862 | Or whence will they plead their Iustification at the barr of God? |
| A26862 | Or whether Man may annihilate a Quality, though not a Substance? |
| A26862 | Or whether all have sufficient Grace to beleeve, either given, or internally offered? |
| A26862 | Or whether he hath at all made the Morall Law to be the preceptive part of the new Covenant? |
| A26862 | Or whether hee should have lived such a miserable life for a season, and then be annihilated, or destroyed? |
| A26862 | Or whether his soule should have bin immediatly seprarated from his body as ours are at death, and so be the only sufferer of the paine? |
| A26862 | Or whether soule and body without separation should have gone downe quick together into Hell? |
| A26862 | Or whether the Morall Law be continued only as the precepts of the old Covenant, and so used by the new Covenant, meerly for a directive Rule? |
| A26862 | Perhaps you will say, was not Moses both? |
| A26862 | Promises conditionall ▪ and Threats? |
| A26862 | Question is, How it can stand with ▪ the Truth and Justice of God to dispense ▪ with his Threats? |
| A26862 | Question is, May we not feare lest God may dispense with his Promises as well as his Threats? |
| A26862 | Question is, whether sinners may not hence be encouraged to conceive some hope of a relaxation of the Threatnings in the New Covenant? |
| A26862 | Question was, Whether the threatning was executed, or relaxed and dispensed with? |
| A26862 | Seeing God hath promised us these which you call conditions, is not the Covenant therefore rather absolute, and more properly a promise? |
| A26862 | Seeing you make faith and covenanting with Christ to be the same thing; do you not make him to be no reall Christian that never so covenanted? |
| A26862 | Shall mans sinnes make Gods promises and mercies of lesse value? |
| A26862 | Shall we come after him to do the work he hath perfected? |
| A26862 | Shall we say therefore, that God threatned them with a Christ, rather then promised him? |
| A26862 | So that if you ask me[ what is the formall Reason, why Faith Iustifieth?] |
| A26862 | So that in what respect is our righteousnesse lesse excellent? |
| A26862 | THerefore it is one thing to ask, whether the Covenant of Works be abolished? |
| A26862 | That the Apostles dispute is upon the question, What is the Righteousness which we must plead against the Accusation of the Law? |
| A26862 | The Promise is made to you and to your children? |
| A26862 | The chiefe point of difference and difficulty lyeth higher, How the Righteousnesse of Christ is made ours? |
| A26862 | The great Question is, of which sort is our Righteousness whereby we are justified? |
| A26862 | The question therefore is, Whether Works do concur with Faith( as part of the Condition) in the very businesse of Justifying? |
| A26862 | The time is neere when those future sins will be past also; what doth the Law require then? |
| A26862 | Then this followeth howsoever, That they are righteous, and justified before they beleeve,( which what Scripture doth speak?) |
| A26862 | There is evident a sincerity opposite to dissimulation: But a Morall or Theologicall sincerity there is not; Why is that? |
| A26862 | They would all trust Christ for the saving of their souls, and that without dissembling, for ought any man can discern: Are all these men justified? |
| A26862 | This being well considered, will direct you truly and punctually, where to find the very formall being and nature of Faith? |
| A26862 | This is gracious acceptance, which Grotius maintaineth? |
| A26862 | This is the Covenant that is made with us: and who dare say, that this is made with Christ; Or is this Covenant made to Christ? |
| A26862 | This may help you to answer that question, Whether the Law without the Gospell be a sufficient Rule of Life? |
| A26862 | This work must not be due, and so the performer not under the absolute soveraignty of another? |
| A26862 | Thus we see in part the first Question resolved; what death it was that the Law did threaten? |
| A26862 | To which I answer? |
| A26862 | Turn over your whole Bible,& see whether it speak more of covenanting with Christ, or with us? |
| A26862 | WHat one of our Church will maintain, that any one obtaines actuall Redemption by Christ without Faith? |
| A26862 | Was not he the justifier here, who was the imputer of Righteousness? |
| A26862 | What Scripture saith so? |
| A26862 | What doe you take for such a renouncing of their Covenant? |
| A26862 | What have we else to shew at Gods barr for our Justification, but the New Covenant? |
| A26862 | What it was that Christ did suffer? |
| A26862 | What saith Mr. Owen to any of this? |
| A26862 | When I read this to be the tenour of the New Covenant[ Whosoever believeth shall be justified:] doth it not tell me plainly why Faith Justifieth? |
| A26862 | When should He have risen? |
| A26862 | When the Scripture saith, that Whosoever beleeveth shall be justified is it a learned Exposition which thus interpreteth it? |
| A26862 | Where he learned, or how he can prove, that Justifying Faith is a believing that our sinnes are pardoned? |
| A26862 | Whether Adams soule and body should immediatly have bin annihilated, or destroyed so as to become insensible? |
| A26862 | Whether Christ did discharge this debt by way of solution or by way of satisfaction? |
| A26862 | Whether Christ did first repeall that Law, and then re- establish it to other ends? |
| A26862 | Whether Christs Lordship over all, do imply or prove his redeeming of all? |
| A26862 | Whether Faith onely? |
| A26862 | Whether God hath delivered things out of his own power in any kinde, by delivering them into the power of his Son? |
| A26862 | Whether absolutely or conditionally? |
| A26862 | Whether he cast away Gods image? |
| A26862 | Whether it be any wrong to the redeemed themselves? |
| A26862 | Whether it be not a wrong to the Redeemer, that the people whom he hath ransomed are not immediately delivered? |
| A26862 | Whether that which is commonly called the Work of Conscience, be also from such an internall suasory work of the Spirit? |
| A26862 | Whether the Precepts of the Gospel belong also to the old Covenant? |
| A26862 | Whether the Precepts of the Gospel do belong to the Decalogue? |
| A26862 | Whether the extolling of Christ the Mediator, or the restoring and saving of the offendors, were Gods more remote end, and principal intention? |
| A26862 | Whether the redeemed are immediately upon the price payd, delivered from any of the curse of the Law? |
| A26862 | Whether the reformation of the life doth not immediately even the same moment follow the hearts reformation? |
| A26862 | Whether the sufferings of Beleevers are from the curse of the Law? |
| A26862 | Whether the sufferings of the Elect before conversion are in execution of any part of the curse of the Law? |
| A26862 | Whether then this Grace be Physicall or Morall? |
| A26862 | Whether there be a Morall Suasion of the Spirit, distinct from the Suasion of the Word, and other outward means? |
| A26862 | Whether this Authority and Dignity of Christ, be by Original Natural Right? |
| A26862 | Whether this be not the subjection of the soul to Christ to be governed by him; and so a heart- reformation? |
| A26862 | Whether this doctrine doth not tend to drive Obedience out of the world? |
| A26862 | Whether to the Major, the Minor, or the Conclusion? |
| A26862 | Why I call Christs Satisfaction the meritorious Cause, and the Causa sine quâ non? |
| A26862 | Why I call the Gospell the Instrumentall Cause? |
| A26862 | Why I do make affiance or recombency an immediate product of Faith, when it is commonly taken to be, the very justifying Act? |
| A26862 | Why I make it only the Causa sine quâ non? |
| A26862 | Why I make not Christs Righteousness the materiall Cause? |
| A26862 | Why I make not Faith the Instrumentall Cause? |
| A26862 | Why I make not the Imputation of it the formall Cause? |
| A26862 | Why do I make sincerity and perseverance to be so near kin to Faith, as to be, in some sence, the same, and not rather distinct Graces? |
| A26862 | Why do you single out the book called, The marrow of modern Divinity, to oppose in this point? |
| A26862 | Why have you all the mercies of your life? |
| A26862 | Why is the love of our selves, and desire of our preservation so naturall? |
| A26862 | Wicked men have benefits by Christ, even those that are not in him so much as by a visible profession: And why then may they not have some promises? |
| A26862 | Will you speak it to none but those who beleeve already? |
| A26862 | Would not this love have Iustified? |
| A26862 | Would you not have believers to esc ● ew evill and do good for fear of Hell, or for hope of Heaven? |
| A26862 | Yet it is disputable whether these two last were directly contained in the threatning, or not? |
| A26862 | Yet the former( as I have proved before& c.) is ours too, and our Righteousness too( though many Divines think otherwise:) but how? |
| A26862 | Your 2. is[ whether Christ paid the same debt which was in the first obligation?] |
| A26862 | [ Beleeve in the Lord Iesus, and thou shalt be saved: and if thou beleeve not, thou shalt be damned?] |
| A26862 | and a third, whether as a meer Precept? |
| A26862 | and another thing, whether the Morall Law be abolished? |
| A26862 | and consequently him to be no visible Christian who never professed such a Covenant? |
| A26862 | and is it not his purchase, and charge, and work to provide for it? |
| A26862 | and make him pay the uttermost farthing? |
| A26862 | and so you bring in a greater necessity of publique covenanting, then those who are for Church- making Covenants? |
| A26862 | and the contemplating of it, and admiring it, be our main employment? |
| A26862 | and then enquire how they seal? |
| A26862 | and what not? |
| A26862 | another, whether upon new Covenant terms? |
| A26862 | as he was a sinner by imputation, and so had our transgressions upon him: but very ignorantly: For was God mercifull to him concerning the debt? |
| A26862 | before the absolving sentence at the great Tribunall; or the possession of the Kingdome, for which we wait in Hope? |
| A26862 | but placing it in Consent or Acceptance? |
| A26862 | but why should we separate what God hath conjoyned? |
| A26862 | if not from all? |
| A26862 | if not, why will you labour, and eat, and drink, and sleep? |
| A26862 | is it possible that any sober considering man can think so? |
| A26862 | it may be you will say, you pray onely for Gods glory, and for the Church: But hath not God as much care of his Church and his glory, as of your soul? |
| A26862 | or Works also? |
| A26862 | or as the man to Christ, who is my Neighbour? |
| A26862 | or by Donation? |
| A26862 | or by Purchase? |
| A26862 | or by which we are justified as the proper Righteousness of that Law? |
| A26862 | or his own Law, and so obey himself? |
| A26862 | or may you pray for other mens souls, and not your own, when you are bound to love them but as your self? |
| A26862 | or of all alike? |
| A26862 | or only afflictions of Love, the curse being taken off by Christ? |
| A26862 | or only sincere? |
| A26862 | or that Gods Word hath not prescribed us a slavish task? |
| A26862 | or whether God took it from him for sin? |
| A26862 | or whether it be not a promise of some extraordinary permanent happiness which they shall receive at their last and great deliverance by the Messias? |
| A26862 | or whether it be only the substituting him to be Vicegerent to the Father? |
| A26862 | or whether they are onely Concomitants to that Faith which effecteth the business without their assistance? |
| A26862 | or who is the looser? |
| A26862 | seu tollendae, rogabatur, an tolli eam placeret? |
| A26862 | should not then the searching into it be our main study? |
| A26862 | so what end have the prohibition else? |
| A26862 | the last of which Grotius maintaineth? |
| A26862 | utrum melius sit miserum esse quam non esse? |
| A26862 | whether God only could annihilate it? |
| A26862 | whether the threatning were not fully executed in Adams death? |
| A26862 | why will you seek to the Physician when you are sick? |
| A26967 | 1. Who knoweth not that Time can not be recalled? |
| A26967 | 10. have we not all more need of monitors to humble us for doing so much lesse then our duty, then to be reprehended for being too diligent and exact? |
| A26967 | 12. by the name of a Factious Schismatical Conventicle, and a meeting of Drunkards, or Gamesters, by a more gentle less disgraceful name? |
| A26967 | 14. and this after they are baptized, and profess to believe in the holy Ghost as their Sanctifier? |
| A26967 | 2. Who do you think is likest to understand Gods mind, and what is pleasing to him? |
| A26967 | 3, 5, 6. minding the things of the flesh, and not the things of the Spirit? |
| A26967 | 37. or take you out of the hands of Christ? |
| A26967 | 6. though they confessed they had nothing else against him? |
| A26967 | 9. nor say, What harm is in it? |
| A26967 | Again, if two lie together, then they have heat; but how can one alone be warm? |
| A26967 | Alas sirs, do you live as men that must live here no more? |
| A26967 | Alas, sirs, how many questions of exceeding weight have you yet to be resolved in? |
| A26967 | And a Communion of Saints in which you have undertaken to administer the Holy things of God? |
| A26967 | And a Holy Church in which you have your station? |
| A26967 | And are there not far more enemies to serious godliness among the Papists themselves, then among us? |
| A26967 | And are you the men that would quench their zeal, and destroy the holy diligence which you should Preach? |
| A26967 | And art thou afraid of having too much of this? |
| A26967 | And dare you before the Sun, and under the Heavens of God, and in his Hearing, perswade men that the most Holy God is against Holiness? |
| A26967 | And dare you gainsay the Lord and his Apostles, and concur with Satan, and the Pharisees and enemies of Christ? |
| A26967 | And hast thou not an immortal soul to save or lose as well as they? |
| A26967 | And how came holy Mr. Bolton to find so much work for these rebukes so lately in his time, as in his books you find? |
| A26967 | And how do their Laicks here know what is a point of faith, but by the testimony of their Priests? |
| A26967 | And how will Christ deal at last with his Enemies? |
| A26967 | And if all these were down, wherein should the practice of Religion consist? |
| A26967 | And is any of this a matter of controversie or doubt? |
| A26967 | And is it not the way when we would draw the boat to the bank, to lay hold of the bank and pull, as if we would draw it to the boat? |
| A26967 | And is there any controversie among Christians in any of this? |
| A26967 | And is there any controversie among Christians in any of this? |
| A26967 | And is there any thing in all this that any Christian can deny? |
| A26967 | And is there any thing now left but Ignorance or Wickedness to stand up against thy speedy diligence? |
| A26967 | And is there any thing of doubt or controversie in this? |
| A26967 | And is there any thing to be compared with God and our eternal state? |
| A26967 | And is this a matter of any doubt or controversie? |
| A26967 | And is this any Schismatical or factious motion? |
| A26967 | And let people see, that the Pulpit is to you but as a Stage, and that you believe not what you speak? |
| A26967 | And must the Church be divided, and most be damned for not believing or submitting to a humane Ordinance? |
| A26967 | And now I should conclude, I am loth to end, for fear lest I have not yet prevailed with you: What are you now resolved to do from this day forward? |
| A26967 | And shall, we be idle that are engaged for Heaven? |
| A26967 | And what a terrible account wilt thou have to make, when the seduction and transgression of all these sinners shall be charged upon thee? |
| A26967 | And what an addition is it to your guilt, that you speak against God in his own Name? |
| A26967 | And what estimation had Christs doctrine among the Scribes and Pharisees? |
| A26967 | And what is the reason of your unbelief? |
| A26967 | And what manner of persons should they be, in holy conversation and godliness, that look for such a life as this? |
| A26967 | And why do you not commend the Good where you discommend the evil that is commixt? |
| A26967 | And will I neither endure it, nor be quickened without it? |
| A26967 | And will you in your Application, or private discourses, unsay all this again, and give God and your selves the Lye? |
| A26967 | And will you tell God that he hath but dissembled with you, and told you that he is pleased with that which is not pleasing to him? |
| A26967 | And wilt thou be a Traytor to Christ, in the name of a Messenger and Preacher of the Gospel? |
| A26967 | And wilt thou be idle when eternal life ● ies on it? |
| A26967 | And wilt thou teach them to hate Godliness, who hast undertaken before the Righteous God, to teach them to practice it? |
| A26967 | Are not all Christians agreed in it? |
| A26967 | Are not the people backward enough to the serving of God with all their might, unless you hinder them? |
| A26967 | Are there any men of any party among Christians, or sober Infidels that dare contradict it? |
| A26967 | Are there not Ale- houses to be supprest, and drunkards& riotous persons to be restrained; Preaching and Piety to be promoted? |
| A26967 | Are you not ashamed thus to contradict your selves? |
| A26967 | Are you not convinced that it is so? |
| A26967 | Art thou a Preacher of the Gospel, and takest charge of the souls of men? |
| A26967 | Art thou in a declined lapsed state? |
| A26967 | Art thou in the darknesse of uncertainty concerning thy conversion, and thy everlasting state? |
| A26967 | Art thou seeking to inflame thy soul with love to God? |
| A26967 | Art thou willing to use the Might thou hast, and to have more, and use it if thou hadst it? |
| A26967 | But because you have the faces to contradict the God of Truth, and to reproach that work which he commandeth, and to say, what needs so much ado? |
| A26967 | But doth he think that man is seriously a Christian that is not more zealous for God and Religion, and the souls of men, then for himself? |
| A26967 | But how were the Oratorians esteemed and used? |
| A26967 | But if thou dost know it, how dost thou make shift maliciously to oppose it, without feeling the beginnings of Hell upon thy Conscience? |
| A26967 | But is not your strict observation of the Lords day a controverted thing? |
| A26967 | But perhaps you''l ask, May not a man be righteous over- mmch? |
| A26967 | But shall it be so with thee whose eyes are opened, who seest the God, the Heaven, the Hell, which they do but hear of as unlikely things? |
| A26967 | But what did he therefore fear or fly from God? |
| A26967 | But what of that? |
| A26967 | But will not Christ know his sheep, though he find them torn in a wolks skin? |
| A26967 | But( you''l say perhaps) alas, what Might have we? |
| A26967 | By what men on earth should God be eminently served& honoured, if not by Magistrates, whom he hath eminently advanced, impowred, and intrusted? |
| A26967 | Can I do no better, when I know before hand, what different aspects diligence and negligence will have, to the awakened soul in the review? |
| A26967 | Can I do no more for the Church of God? |
| A26967 | Can I do no more for the souls of men? |
| A26967 | Can I do no more that have so much help? |
| A26967 | Can I do no more then this for Christ? |
| A26967 | Can I do no more, that have loytered so long? |
| A26967 | Can I do no more, that know not now but I am doing my last? |
| A26967 | Can I do no more, when I am sure I can not do too much, and am sure there is nothing else to be preferred? |
| A26967 | Can I do no more, when my salvation is the prize? |
| A26967 | Can I love him no more? |
| A26967 | Can it be expected that our Church should be better than the Family of Adam, that had a Cain? |
| A26967 | Can not souls be damned without your furtherance? |
| A26967 | Can your hearts bear it then, to hear and think, that you lost,& wilfully lost such an opportunity? |
| A26967 | Canst thou look for this at the hand of God, when Nature and Scripture assure thee of the contrary? |
| A26967 | Could I do no more, if I were sure that my salvation lay on this one duty? |
| A26967 | Could I not do more, if my house were on fire, or my estate, or life, or friend in danger, then I do for my salvation? |
| A26967 | Dare you as openly mock God for making these strict and holy Laws, as you do men for obeying them? |
| A26967 | Dare you prefix a[ Thus saith the Lord] to so impious a speech as[ It is in vain to serve the Lord? |
| A26967 | Did a Seneca see by the light of nature, so much of the necessity of seriousness and diligence, about the matters of the soul? |
| A26967 | Do not they not judge Heaven to be less worth then Earth; when they will do less for it, and would have others to do so too? |
| A26967 | Do you not find in your Repentings, that the change is more in your Will then in your Power? |
| A26967 | Do you not your selves profess that you believe it? |
| A26967 | Do you practise as aforesaid, according to the Principles and matter agreed on, or not? |
| A26967 | Do you see your people so forward to do too much for Heaven, that you must pull them back? |
| A26967 | Do your work as men that must work no more, and pray as men that must pray no more, when once the time of work is ended? |
| A26967 | Dost thou look he should pervert the course of nature,& continue the spring and seed- time till thou hast a mind to sow? |
| A26967 | Dost thou look to have Preachers sent after thee, to bring thee the mercy which thy contempt here left behind? |
| A26967 | Dost thou not know whether thou be in a state of life or death? |
| A26967 | Dost thou take on thee to go on the message of Christ, and then speak against him? |
| A26967 | Dost thou talk of our differences about Forms and Ceremonies? |
| A26967 | Doth it not teach all rational creatures in necessity to pray to God? |
| A26967 | Examine your selves whether you be in the faith; prove your selves; know ye not your own selves, that Christ is in you except you are reprobates? |
| A26967 | For him that did so much for me? |
| A26967 | For what shall it profit you to win the world, and lose your soul? |
| A26967 | For who are his enemies, but the Enemies of Holiness, of his Laws, of our Obedience, of his Image, and of his Saints? |
| A26967 | Hast thou lost thy first desires and love? |
| A26967 | Hast thou no where to walk or play thee, but at the brink of Hell? |
| A26967 | Hath he made you Governours, and put the sword of Justice into your hands? |
| A26967 | Hath prayer no other use but to move God? |
| A26967 | Have I convinced you now, that God and your salvation are to be sought with all your might? |
| A26967 | Have I nothing else to do with my time& labour, but plead cause of my own which God will so speedily and effectually plead? |
| A26967 | Have you ignorant or ungodly neighbors, whose misery calls for your compassion, and relief? |
| A26967 | Himself or you? |
| A26967 | How basely should they esteem those transitory things, that are the food and felicity of the sensual world? |
| A26967 | How can you make shift to Preach an hour, and not acquaint men with the Duty and Necessity of seeking God with all their Might? |
| A26967 | How canst thou choose but perceive that the scope of the word of God is contrary to the bent of thy affections and suggestions? |
| A26967 | How do I complain when affliction is up- me? |
| A26967 | How durst you scorn the image of your Maker? |
| A26967 | How easi ● is it to put a name of ignominy upon every person, and every duty? |
| A26967 | How easie, but how unreasonable, and yet how unresistible is all this? |
| A26967 | How fain would Satan find thee thus at death? |
| A26967 | How fain would he have leave to blow out thy candle, before thou hast entred in ● ● the way of life? |
| A26967 | How happy a bargain would they think that they had made, if at the dearest rates they could redeem it? |
| A26967 | How importunately would they cry to God,[ O send us once again unto the earth? |
| A26967 | How many a Sermon, or Prayer, or reproof, is made the matter of derision, and contempt, for some imprudent passages or deportment? |
| A26967 | How patiently should they undergo contempt and scorn, and whatsoever man can inflict upon them? |
| A26967 | How seriously should they speak of, and how industriously should they seek, such sure, such near, such endless joyes? |
| A26967 | How studiously should they devote and refer all their time, and strength, and wealth, and interest, to this their glorious blessed end? |
| A26967 | I know these tearms seem hard to flesh and blood( and should Heaven be the Crown and reward to them, that have undergone no tryal for it?) |
| A26967 | I suppose this were true as you imagine, what''s this to you that serve God no way at all with any serious diligence? |
| A26967 | IN the Preface: the Question resolved, Whether a Man may be saved in any Religion, that is serious in practising it? |
| A26967 | If not, why hast thou not yet done with thy beloved sins? |
| A26967 | If others do seem to love God when they do not, will you therefore not so much as seem to do it? |
| A26967 | If the Righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? |
| A26967 | If they could, what endeavours would there be used, when extremity hath taught them to value what they now despise? |
| A26967 | If this kind of preaching or writing offend, could not I have avoided it? |
| A26967 | If we be of many Religions, is not Popery then a humane Religion? |
| A26967 | Is any thing more plainly commanded in Gods Word then praying with frequency, fervency, and importunity? |
| A26967 | Is it Christ, or Satan? |
| A26967 | Is it not a Holy Law and Gospel which you publish? |
| A26967 | Is it not better mend my pace, and work on easier tearms? |
| A26967 | Is it reason that we should do less for God& our salvation, then they do for sinful pleasure to damnation? |
| A26967 | Is not Satan strong enough of himself? |
| A26967 | Is not all this the express Command of God, and necessary to salvation? |
| A26967 | Is not the corrupted heart of lapsed man averse enough to the matters of salvation, but you must make them worse? |
| A26967 | Is not your strict observation of the Lords Day a Controversie? |
| A26967 | Is there any thing controvertible in this? |
| A26967 | Is there any thing controvertible, or which any Christian can speak against, in any of this? |
| A26967 | Is there any thing that Protestants are not agreed of? |
| A26967 | Is this believed and considered by the sleepy world? |
| A26967 | Is this my love and compassion to my neighbour, my servant, freind or child? |
| A26967 | Knowest thou the difference between God and man? |
| A26967 | Might I nearly follow Christ in holiness, why should I grudge to bear his Cross, and to be used as he was used? |
| A26967 | Must it not be tamed and mortified, or thy soul condemned? |
| A26967 | Must not the flesh be crucified with its affections and lusts? |
| A26967 | Must they think ill of food, and physick, and exercise, because they are infirm? |
| A26967 | Nay how then shall he be God? |
| A26967 | Nay, what can more aggravate them, then that they should be found in the professors of godliness? |
| A26967 | Not worth so much as they do themselves for their filthy sins and perishing flesh? |
| A26967 | Once more let us see the face of Mercy, and hear the tenders of Christ& of Salvation? |
| A26967 | Or that your flesh was once provided with variety of delights, when it s turned to rottenness, and must be raised to torments? |
| A26967 | Or to have been honoured and obeyed on earth, when you are under the wrath of God in Hell? |
| A26967 | Quid interest quo quisque, vitio fiat imprudens? |
| A26967 | See what a stir the proud ambitious person makes for less then nothing? |
| A26967 | See whether you bring your opposition to a holy life; And dare not you stand to this? |
| A26967 | Shall Christianity and Holiness be secretly reproached, because all Christians have some fault to be accused of? |
| A26967 | Shall Health and Life be made a scorn, because there are few but have some distemper or disease? |
| A26967 | Shall not the judge of all the world do righteously? |
| A26967 | Shall they be able to calumniate under the threatnings of the Revenge of Heaven? |
| A26967 | Should not the best things be best loved? |
| A26967 | Sirs, will you say that any of this is our singular opinion, or matter of controversie& doubt? |
| A26967 | That see how fast my Time makes haste, and know I must be quickly gone? |
| A26967 | The Mariners could say to Jonah in their danger[ What meanest thou, O sleeper? |
| A26967 | The Posts went from City to City — And what did the people think ye? |
| A26967 | The Subject must obey; should not such worms as we, obey the infinite God that made us? |
| A26967 | This is it that we intreat of you:& is there any matter of controversie in all this? |
| A26967 | This is the business that I am sent to call you to; what say you? |
| A26967 | This is the manner of Gods service that I perswade you to, and to no other: And is there any thing of controversie in this? |
| A26967 | This is the service of God that we call you to: And can you say that there is any thing controvertible in all this? |
| A26967 | This is the work that we call you to: And is there any thing that a christian can make a controversie of in all this? |
| A26967 | This is your work: And is there any thing of faction, Schism or controversie in this? |
| A26967 | Thou that never fearest too much money, nor too much honour, nor too much health, art thou afraid of too much spiritual health and holiness? |
| A26967 | Till then l ● t them make merry in their deceits: who would envy the drunkard the pleasure of an hours swinish sick delight? |
| A26967 | To call men factious, if they will not be of their faction? |
| A26967 | To charge any man with Hypocrisie or Pride? |
| A26967 | To lay snares for mens Consciences, and then accuse them for falling into those snares? |
| A26967 | To make new Articles of faith, till they have transcended the capa ● ity of Divine and Rational belief, and then condemn us for not believing them? |
| A26967 | To take the wisest man for self- conceited, because he is not of the accusers mind? |
| A26967 | Unless you dare imagine that God hath erred, and the Rule it self is over- strict, and the Law is unrighteous: But then how shall God judge the world? |
| A26967 | Was it for nothing that our Lord would not answer for himself when he was accused before Pilate? |
| A26967 | Were not a beast less miserable, if this were all? |
| A26967 | What Heathen that believeth that there is a God, doth not believe that Prayer to him is a necessary part of his worship? |
| A26967 | What Might have we? |
| A26967 | What a comfort it will be at death and judgement, to be able to say, I did my best, or loytered not away the time I had? |
| A26967 | What can you find to Preach from the Word of God, that tendeth not to this holy diligence which you are against? |
| A26967 | What have you to say now against this reverent manner of behaviour? |
| A26967 | What reward had he among them? |
| A26967 | What then will be the doom of the opposers? |
| A26967 | What will ye now do? |
| A26967 | What, thou that haste none( which should make thee tremble) art thou afraid of having too much? |
| A26967 | When he puts me purposely on the trial, what I can do for his sake and service, Can I do no more? |
| A26967 | When it is thy work to read the Scriptures, and meditate on them, dost thou not read thy doom, and meditate terrour? |
| A26967 | When you come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand to tread my Courts? |
| A26967 | Who deserveth all? |
| A26967 | Who gave me all? |
| A26967 | Who is the man, and what is his name, that dare contradict them, and can make it good? |
| A26967 | Who seeth me in my duties and my sins? |
| A26967 | Who should confound the d ● ● ders of a holy life but you? |
| A26967 | Why do not you commend those that are not liable to your accusations, and encourage them in holiness, and draw others to imitate them? |
| A26967 | Why hast thou not yet begun to live? |
| A26967 | Why man, dost thou know what Holiness is? |
| A26967 | Why sittest thou still, while thy soul is un- renewed? |
| A26967 | Why standest thou idle, when thou art born for work, and all thy faculties are given thee for work, and thou art redeemed for work? |
| A26967 | Will God be deceived by such siilly reasonings as these? |
| A26967 | Will he renew thy age, and make the young again, and call back the hours that thou prodigally wastedst on thy lusts and idleness? |
| A26967 | Will it not be time enough to be justified at the Bar and day of God? |
| A26967 | Will you also in the Manner of your obedience, but go so far as all Christians are agreed in? |
| A26967 | Wilt thou be dull and sensless on such an errand to the Living God? |
| A26967 | Wilt thou do in the day- light, as they do in the dark? |
| A26967 | Wilt thou hear and be converted in the Grave and Hell? |
| A26967 | Wilt thou live awake, as they that are asleep? |
| A26967 | Would I have God to come with the spur and rod? |
| A26967 | Would you be soldiers on condition you may not fight; or fight, and yet have no opposition? |
| A26967 | You are blind if you see not this: you are dead if you feel it not: what then will you do? |
| A26967 | You are not afraid lest any man should pull down the Sun, or dry up the Sea, or overturn the Earth: And are you afraid that Man should conquer God? |
| A26967 | You can not mock them out of their Pride and Covetuousness: And shall they mock thee out of thy Religion, and thy hopes of Heaven? |
| A26967 | You say it is turbulent Pre ● isians that you strike, but what if Christ find but one of the least of his Brethren bleeding by it? |
| A26967 | Your trust is great,& so is your advantage to do good; And how great will be your account,& how dreadful, if you be unfaithful? |
| A26967 | [ And shall I not be taken for a mad man, if I should busie my self about such things that am now besieged? |
| A26967 | [ But to the wicked saith God, What hast thou to do to declare my Statutes? |
| A26967 | [ If a man die, shall he live( here) again? |
| A26967 | [ To what purpose is the multitude of your Sacrifices unto me? |
| A26967 | and Sectaries, if they will not unreasonably subject their Souls to them, and joyn with an imperious Sect, against the Catholick Vnity and Simplicity? |
| A26967 | and all thy preparation for death and judgement is yet to make? |
| A26967 | and go no faster, that have slept till the evening of my daies, when Diligence must be the discovery of my Repentance? |
| A26967 | and in the awaking of your Will and Reason into act, then in the addition of meer abilities? |
| A26967 | and is there any thing of doubt or controversie in all this? |
| A26967 | and obey, and watch, and work no more? |
| A26967 | and so much of the madness of spending words and time on trifles? |
| A26967 | and that he that made his holy Law, is against the most exact obeying of it? |
| A26967 | and that therefore you befool your selves for your sins& your neglects,& wonder that you had no more use of your understandings? |
| A26967 | and the King of Saints is an adversary to sanctity? |
| A26967 | and the greatest matters have our greatest care? |
| A26967 | and what it is to have access to God? |
| A26967 | and what should become of thee, if this were the day or hour of thy change? |
| A26967 | and whether you will set your selves to do the work that you are Created and Redeemed for? |
| A26967 | and will it pay you for your cost and labour? |
| A26967 | and yet what is it good for? |
| A26967 | but thou must be so cruel as to make others miserable also? |
| A26967 | dare you go to men as from the Lord,& say[ You are too careful& diligent in his service? |
| A26967 | decayed in grace? |
| A26967 | for the peace and welfare of the Nation and our prosperity? |
| A26967 | for the publick good? |
| A26967 | if you will laugh at Hell till you are in it, must we do so too? |
| A26967 | in praying for deliverance? |
| A26967 | in suppressing sin? |
| A26967 | is it not a Holy God that you are engaged to serve? |
| A26967 | mnst we all be unbelievers with you? |
| A26967 | or in promoting Works of publick benefit? |
| A26967 | or is it a desirable work? |
| A26967 | or of Christ, that had a Judas? |
| A26967 | or of Noah, that had a Cham? |
| A26967 | or that he will return the dead- born or mis- shapen Infant into the womb, that it may be better formed or quickned? |
| A26967 | or that thou shouldest take my Covenant in thy mouth, seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee?] |
| A26967 | or wilt thou be saved without holiness? |
| A26967 | or with believers whether they should consider and lay to heart the weight& use of the things which they believe? |
| A26967 | quid agam? |
| A26967 | shall Freemen live as Satans slaves? |
| A26967 | shall I now by trifling prepare such griping and tormenting thoughts, for my awakened conscience? |
| A26967 | shall the living lie as still& useless as the dead? |
| A26967 | that know it must be now or never: and that this is all the time I shall have, on which an endless life dependeth? |
| A26967 | that lived so exactly; obeyed so perfectly; walked so inoffensively and meekly; despising all the baits, and honours, and riches of the World? |
| A26967 | that plowing and sowing are not more necessary to your harvest, then the work of holiness, in this day of grace, is necessary to your salvation? |
| A26967 | what a stir the covetous and the voluptuous make for a sweetned draught of mortal poyson? |
| A26967 | what is more acute then the peal of corn? |
| A26967 | what needs there so much ado for your salvation? |
| A26967 | what powerful commands, what promises, what threatnings, what holy examples of exceeding diligence of Christ and his Apostles? |
| A26967 | what quickning words shalt thou find in Scripture, if thou wilt but bring thy heart thither as one that is willing to be quickened? |
| A26967 | what shall I do? |
| A26967 | what shall be thy desire, if thou loath and fly from thy felicity? |
| A26967 | what''s that to the message which we come about to thee, what is that to the business that we are preaching of? |
| A26967 | when Heaven or Hell depend much on it? |
| A26967 | when they are undone for ever if they be not speedily delivered? |
| A26967 | whether you are ready to leave this world, and enter upon another? |
| A26967 | whether you are truly sanctified? |
| A26967 | whether you shall be saved when you die? |
| A26967 | whether your sins be pardoned? |
| A26967 | will God command the Sun to stand still, while thou rebellest or forgettest thy work and him? |
| A26967 | will families be well ordered, and Church, or City, or Country well governed? |
| A26967 | will not the comon distaste of Godliness in the world, sufficiently prejudice and avert them without thy helps? |
| A26967 | will the careless sinners that I am bound to help, be converted and saved, with sitting still, and with some heartless cold endeavours? |
| A26967 | will you do it, and do it seriously without delay? |
| A26967 | wilt thou be glutting thee with the bait? |
| A26967 | wilt thou be tasting of the poysoned cup? |
| A26967 | — The Pharisees? |
| A26987 | & fain get higher? |
| A26987 | 1. WHO was it that I left behind, When I went last from home? |
| A26987 | A clearer Light, which may God''s mind reveal? |
| A26987 | A heart more fit to Meditate and Pray? |
| A26987 | A stronger Faith to live on things above, Where endless Praise shall be the breath of Love? |
| A26987 | After all this, canst thou my love suspect? |
| A26987 | All this is just, Lord, I confess; I staid too long ere I came in: And how should healing grace do less, When I brought with me so much sin? |
| A26987 | Am I not wise enough to use the Rod? |
| A26987 | Am I the Jonas? |
| A26987 | Am I the first that go this way? |
| A26987 | And God deposed from his Throne, And humane generation cease? |
| A26987 | And Justice should my Soul to torments fetch? |
| A26987 | And O how easily could I confute All that against a holy life dispute? |
| A26987 | And all my bones and heart in pieces shake? |
| A26987 | And all my comforts peevishly reject? |
| A26987 | And all these accusations undergo? |
| A26987 | And call''d a precise fool or Puritane? |
| A26987 | And can the Lord that is most just and wise, Found all man''s duty in deceit and lies? |
| A26987 | And caus''d my only Son for thee to die? |
| A26987 | And charge upon me all that I have done? |
| A26987 | And cleave to Christ, whatever flesh could say? |
| A26987 | And done thy Blood and Spirit so much wrong? |
| A26987 | And doth not Reason bid thee then forecast, And value the least hope of endless Joyes, Before known vanities, and dying toyes? |
| A26987 | And for a little purchas''d Golden Mines? |
| A26987 | And hast thou no Desire or Will to this? |
| A26987 | And hath not God more right to me? |
| A26987 | And have I sense only to feel my woe? |
| A26987 | And have no drink to quench my thirst but tears? |
| A26987 | And have so often done amiss, And did my Covenants break? |
| A26987 | And his dear mercy wrong? |
| A26987 | And in delight and endless pleasure dwell? |
| A26987 | And is it any loss To follow with my Cross, Till I attain the Crown? |
| A26987 | And is that lost that''s sent to Heav''n before? |
| A26987 | And is that sav''d that''s spent upon thy lust Or which must be a prey to thieves or rust? |
| A26987 | And judged as an evil doer, And as a breaker of their Laws? |
| A26987 | And keep my sorrows long? |
| A26987 | And knew not how to scape the flames of Hell? |
| A26987 | And love him perfectly world without end, More deerly than thou lov''st thy deerest friend? |
| A26987 | And made thee long a higher state to reach? |
| A26987 | And made thee long to know and love thy God? |
| A26987 | And make the Pulpit but a Parrot''s Cage? |
| A26987 | And make thee just and lovely, and approve thee? |
| A26987 | And must the Love declar''d at such a rate, So vail''d by the suspicion of Hate? |
| A26987 | And now what horrid darkness on my mind, Never before lamented did I find? |
| A26987 | And numbreth with the Blest? |
| A26987 | And overwhelm''d with doubts and horrid fears? |
| A26987 | And reason only misery to know? |
| A26987 | And sav''d thee from the Plagues thy Conscience fear''d? |
| A26987 | And shall I know no breath but sighs and groans? |
| A26987 | And shew thee that it''s better to be holy? |
| A26987 | And strange to Angels, who attend On Man, and in his good delight; And, though unseen, do us defend; Ministring for us day and night? |
| A26987 | And sweetest comforts dwell with broken bones? |
| A26987 | And tell thee what it is that thou must mend? |
| A26987 | And then, what duty thou hadst made my part? |
| A26987 | And things that are for common wits too high? |
| A26987 | And thou hast yet no pardon of thy sin? |
| A26987 | And thus disquieted with fears? |
| A26987 | And under Laws for every bit and cup? |
| A26987 | And under pining sickness be content? |
| A26987 | And use my creature as to me seems best? |
| A26987 | And walk exactly, and God''s Laws obey? |
| A26987 | And wean''d thee from thy former vanities? |
| A26987 | And what are all their Orders and their Laws? |
| A26987 | And what is Food and Physick for but Health? |
| A26987 | And what though Death be painful? |
| A26987 | And when I set up nothing else above Thee? |
| A26987 | And while he thus subscribeth to thy Will, Knowingly crosseth it, and sinneth still? |
| A26987 | And who can Number Stars above; When Saints so fast to Heav''n remove? |
| A26987 | And why should he fear ill, Whom Love it self doth kill? |
| A26987 | And wilt thou keep it? |
| A26987 | And wilt thou now call up what''s past and gone? |
| A26987 | And wilt thou pardon all the crimson sin, Of which my wilful heart hath guilty been? |
| A26987 | And wilt thou suffer sinful unbelief, To banish Joy, and keep out all Relief? |
| A26987 | And wilt thou the consuming fire defie? |
| A26987 | And wouldst thou have thy riches in thy way, Where thou art passing on and canst not stay? |
| A26987 | And yet must I be taken for thy Foe? |
| A26987 | Are groans the only musick for thine ears? |
| A26987 | Are these thy Candles? |
| A26987 | Art thou not for all this to me a debter? |
| A26987 | Art thou not in thy Saviour''s hand? |
| A26987 | Art thou not passing to thy Crown, Through storms of pain, and floods of tears? |
| A26987 | Art thou not sure to let go what thou hast? |
| A26987 | Art thou not willing? |
| A26987 | As if my heart were made of flint or steel? |
| A26987 | As if this world of sin and strife, Were for my Soul a better place? |
| A26987 | Beauty surpasseth all deceitful paints: What''s empty mirth to the delights of Saints? |
| A26987 | Bless me thought I, what will this coxcomb do?" |
| A26987 | But O how doleful is it to persist? |
| A26987 | But dost thou not desire that God would love thee? |
| A26987 | But doth not Love appear in thy Desire? |
| A26987 | But how can I find favour in thy sight, That have sinn''d wilfully even in the Light? |
| A26987 | But how unkindly was he there abus''d? |
| A26987 | But since that time how am I tost? |
| A26987 | But where''s that mirth when sorrows overtake thee? |
| A26987 | But wilt thou take this, Lord, for true Consent, From a hard heart that can no more relent? |
| A26987 | But, Whether after Flesh or Spirit you live? |
| A26987 | Can I for ever be content Without true Happiness and Rest? |
| A26987 | Can I mix night and day? |
| A26987 | Can I rejoyce and bleed? |
| A26987 | Can I rejoyce, when as thine angry Dart, Is piercing night and day my wounded heart? |
| A26987 | Can I rejoyce, when thou dost Joy deny? |
| A26987 | Can the same voice now pass so sad a doom, That from my sin so lately call''d me home? |
| A26987 | Canst thou suspect I am against thy good, When I have prov''d my Love by streams of blood? |
| A26987 | Come Lord, when Grace hath made me meet, Thy blessed Face to see: For if thy work on Earth be sweet, What will thy Glory be? |
| A26987 | Conversing here among the Dead, And taken up with Dreams and Toyes? |
| A26987 | Could''st thou expect to see no Seas? |
| A26987 | Dar''st thou deny my Love and Grace, as none, Because that all the work is not yet done? |
| A26987 | Destroy the Earth? |
| A26987 | Disturbs our Peace, and feeds the gnawing Worm Turns our Tranquility into a storm? |
| A26987 | Do I not Love Thee, when I Love to Love Thee? |
| A26987 | Dost thou complain for grace,& wouldst not have it? |
| A26987 | Dost thou consider what thy passion saith? |
| A26987 | Dost thou delight to feel thy hurt and smart? |
| A26987 | Dost thou delight to see me drencht in tears? |
| A26987 | Dost thou not feel my Spirit still contend? |
| A26987 | Dost thou remember whom thou speakest to? |
| A26987 | Dost thou repent? |
| A26987 | Doth God our ease and pleasure to us grudge? |
| A26987 | Dwelling near Hell to day,& Heaven to morrow? |
| A26987 | Enlarge my heart in thy Commands: Could I but love thee as I wish, How light would be all other bands? |
| A26987 | Fool, as I was, I took its word, And chose what Flesh did recommend: How could I more have wrong''d my Lord? |
| A26987 | For what man''s pow''rs were made, what is their use ▪ To what all means and mercies do conduce? |
| A26987 | From House, and Goods, and dearest Friends? |
| A26987 | From one that loveth thee no more than I? |
| A26987 | God gave me Life: and shall I choose to die Before my time? |
| A26987 | Hadst thou not rather have thy friends and store, Where thou maist dwell for ever, in the light Of that long glorious day that fears no night? |
| A26987 | Hast thou found sweeter pleasures than Gods Love Is a fools laughter like the Joyes above? |
| A26987 | Hast thou sinn''d more than raging bloody Soul? |
| A26987 | Hast thou such sins as I can not forgive? |
| A26987 | Have I long sought in pain, And would I not obtain, Joyful Eternity? |
| A26987 | Have I no passions left but griefs and fears? |
| A26987 | Have I not call''d thee from a life of sin, When thousands round about thee live therein? |
| A26987 | Have I not lov''d thee from Eternity? |
| A26987 | Have I not told thee I will pardon all? |
| A26987 | Here are the sacred words: Here''s David''s Lyre: But where''s the quickening coelestial fire? |
| A26987 | His tender Love and healing Grace refus''d? |
| A26987 | How I and all should value precious Time? |
| A26987 | How can that Saviour be against my good, That dy''d in love, and washt me by his blood? |
| A26987 | How can that gracious Lord my woe desire? |
| A26987 | How canst thou conquer Christ, And make his Promise void? |
| A26987 | How cheaply kept I many Rare Divines? |
| A26987 | How hath my Will deserved thy suspicion, When I have made Acceptance the condition? |
| A26987 | How know I but the endless flames of Hell, May be the place where next my Soul shall dwell? |
| A26987 | How many Saints are gone before? |
| A26987 | How many enter every day Into thy Kingdom by this door? |
| A26987 | How many guiltless creatures die, To be a feast or food for me? |
| A26987 | How meet a course did thy wise Mercy take? |
| A26987 | How much his creatures to their Maker owe? |
| A26987 | How much is sinful Flesh my Foe, That doth my soul pervert, To linger here in sin and woe, And steals from God my heart? |
| A26987 | How oft have I undrest me, And laid my Garments by, And dyed till the next day? |
| A26987 | How precious is thy Love? |
| A26987 | How shall I pay his Rent? |
| A26987 | How shall I see my Landlord''s face? |
| A26987 | How should we prize and seek the Joyes above? |
| A26987 | How wise thy Methods to the Life above? |
| A26987 | How? |
| A26987 | I seek; I knock; thou find''st I have not done: Yet dost thou say, thy Day of Grace is gone? |
| A26987 | I sinn''d and laugh''d; I lightly pass''d it over: Should God do so, and not his wrath discover? |
| A26987 | If I the face of God must never see? |
| A26987 | If a Worm''s fury seemeth hard to bear, Who dare before an angry God appear? |
| A26987 | If life lay on it, wouldst thou turn again, For the winds blowing or a little rain? |
| A26987 | If thou art weak, look upto Christ thy strength: He''l perfect what he hath begun at length: Is not his grace sufficient for thee still? |
| A26987 | If thou wouldst grant the very thing I crave, And give me leave to chuse what I would have; Should it be lusts, or Sports, or Fleshly pleasure? |
| A26987 | Is Earth become so excellent, That I should take it for my best? |
| A26987 | Is Satan turn''d thy friend? |
| A26987 | Is it not thine more in thy Fathers hand, Then when it is laid out at sins command? |
| A26987 | Is it thy pleasure to behold my grief? |
| A26987 | Is not Heav''n worth the bearing of a flout? |
| A26987 | Is not mirth Fitter to warm a cold heart here on earth? |
| A26987 | Is not that better which turns grief to peace, Than that which doth thy misery encrease? |
| A26987 | Is there no spark of Love in this Desire? |
| A26987 | Is this the language of a stable Faith? |
| A26987 | Is this thy Patience, and thy Self- denyal? |
| A26987 | Is this thy greatest love to thy dear Lord? |
| A26987 | It looks and longs by distance pain''d: When wilt thou hear and send relief? |
| A26987 | It''s I that sinn''d: these Sheep what have they done? |
| A26987 | Knew all the Houses of the starry Sky? |
| A26987 | Know''st thou not that which God himself hath spoken? |
| A26987 | Look up and see, now VINES is gone; Are not the Stars the more by One? |
| A26987 | Love still went on, and lined out my way, Hedging me in, lest I should go astray: Yet after this how oft did I transgress? |
| A26987 | May I not there converse with thee? |
| A26987 | May I not with my own do what I list? |
| A26987 | More life and feeling? |
| A26987 | Must I be daily on the rack of sears? |
| A26987 | Must I be driven from my Books? |
| A26987 | Must I be made the foot- ball of disdain? |
| A26987 | Must I be pain''d and wronged, and not feel? |
| A26987 | Must I be priviledg''d alone? |
| A26987 | Must I before the Ruling Power, Be call''d with shame to plead my Cause? |
| A26987 | Must I feel Sicknesses and smart, And spend my daies and nights in pain? |
| A26987 | Must I feel nothing but thy smarting Rod? |
| A26987 | Must I forsake the Soil and Air, Where first I drew my vital breath? |
| A26987 | Must Lies and slanders me defame? |
| A26987 | Must proud men''s malice blot my Name, With Epithets that are their own? |
| A26987 | Nor feel no tossing wind or wave? |
| A26987 | O could I mount thus to the Flames above? |
| A26987 | O how should Preachers Men''s Repenting crave, Who see how near the Church is to the Grave? |
| A26987 | Often and carefully I searcht my heart, Whether in Christ by Faith I had a part? |
| A26987 | Or any wants which I can not relieve? |
| A26987 | Or can I think of finding here That which my Soul so long hath sought? |
| A26987 | Or can that hand that snatcht me from the flame, Tear me, and cast me back into the same? |
| A26987 | Or doth Religion make a man a drudge? |
| A26987 | Or dreaming Lovers Fancies could rehearse, In the most lofty and adorned verse? |
| A26987 | Or ease and pleasant dwellings crave, Forgetting what thy Saints endure? |
| A26987 | Or heat and cold? |
| A26987 | Or knew the course and order of the sphears? |
| A26987 | Or more his Love and Name offend? |
| A26987 | Or no man Die until he please? |
| A26987 | Or than Manasseh''s long and matchless flood Of Witchcraft, Rage, Idolatry and Blood? |
| A26987 | Or the Creator should take down the Sun? |
| A26987 | Or twist the highest joy with deepest sorrow? |
| A26987 | Or were best skill''d in numbering past years? |
| A26987 | Or what if I could fool away my time, In smooth and well composed idle Rhyme? |
| A26987 | Our filial Evidences blasts and tears? |
| A26987 | Reason''s the Rider; Sense is but the Horse: Which then is fittest to direct thy course? |
| A26987 | Rejoyce and die? |
| A26987 | Satan would fain at once thy Soul devour: What dangers dost thou walk in every hour? |
| A26987 | Shall I be loth to see thy face? |
| A26987 | Shall I be strange unto my Head? |
| A26987 | Shall I draw back and fear the End Of all my Sorrows, Tears and Pain? |
| A26987 | Shall grief and sickness leave but skin and bones? |
| A26987 | Shall not thy Promises be all made good? |
| A26987 | Should God be sleighted by a stubborn Heart, And not rebuke its folly by its smart? |
| A26987 | Should I refuse those Joyes through fear, Which bounteous Love so dearly bought? |
| A26987 | Sould it be Lordly Rule, or Earthly Treasure? |
| A26987 | That I''le do this? |
| A26987 | That Innocence may not be known? |
| A26987 | That am so false and weak? |
| A26987 | That canst not for his sake bear a foul word? |
| A26987 | That did so much to save me from the fire? |
| A26987 | That do the creatures wrath alone sustain? |
| A26987 | That is constrained by Necessity? |
| A26987 | That lately gav''st me a new life and breath? |
| A26987 | That now I all disorder''d find, When to my self I come? |
| A26987 | That shew''d me once thy reconciled face? |
| A26987 | That stops not, either when I wake or dream? |
| A26987 | The Heavenly Hosts world without end Shall be my company above: And thou my Best and Surest Friend: Who shall divide me from thy Love? |
| A26987 | The Question is not, Whether Flesh do strive? |
| A26987 | The World of Knowledge, Love and Joyes? |
| A26987 | The stormy Rain an entrance hath, Through the uncovered top: How should I rest when showers of wrath Upon my conscience drop? |
| A26987 | The voice with which thy Call thou didst begin, Was to convince me, and reprove my sin: I first enquired of thee, who thou art? |
| A26987 | These are the drops; what are the streams above? |
| A26987 | These are the seeds: what are the fruits above? |
| A26987 | Think''st thou to find thy Love, before by Faith Thou''lt come to Me? |
| A26987 | To heal thy Soul, and keep thee from Damnation? |
| A26987 | To whom else should my sinful Soul have gone? |
| A26987 | Unveiled fully to thy Saints above? |
| A26987 | WHat mean impatient men to call it Pain? |
| A26987 | Welcome friendly Death; What canst thou do to me,''That I have cause to fear? |
| A26987 | What I? |
| A26987 | What Statues, or what Hypocrites are they, Who between sleep and wake do Preach& Pray? |
| A26987 | What can friends do, but make my grief their own? |
| A26987 | What do men trade for but their lawful wealth? |
| A26987 | What gain or pleasure would my knowledge be? |
| A26987 | What good will sorrow do us? |
| A26987 | What have I said? |
| A26987 | What if I knew all these never so well? |
| A26987 | What if I knew whether the Earth or Sun So swift and unperceiv''d a course doth run? |
| A26987 | What if I prove an unconverted Wretch? |
| A26987 | What if in Prison I must dwell? |

| A26987 | What''s Grace for, but to bring thee to Salvation? |
| A26987 | What''s the Sun above? |
| A26987 | When I have thus abus''d his grace; And have his Treasure spent? |

| A26987 | When all the while thou art a Son of Wrath, Who to Eternal Life no title hath? |
| A26987 | When didst thou seek aright, and didst not find? |
| A26987 | When in thy flow''ring Studies thou may''st dye, And be undone to all Eternity? |
| A26987 | When prov''d I false unto thee? |
| A26987 | When sport, and wine, and beauty do invite, Who is it whom such baits will not incite? |
| A26987 | When thou canst with a word send full relief? |
| A26987 | When thou wast ignorant, who did thee teach? |
| A26987 | Whence 〈 ◊ 〉 I this complaining language hear, If neither want nor worth of grace appear? |

| A26859 | All Christian Churches are tied by the common Divine Rule; and is not consent to that enough to make a Church? |
| A26859 | All men are heterodox in some degree? |
| A26859 | All the doubt is, what is meant by the same Canon or Rule? |
| A26859 | And are not the Church of England Protestants? |
| A26859 | And are they not several Families still? |
| A26859 | And are you sure that none are understanding that be not as partially Censorious as you? |
| A26859 | And do you think that the Greek Churches have not Power to govern and reform themselves, though they be not a National Church? |
| A26859 | And doth your rule do otherwise? |
| A26859 | And had not those as good right that were not under the Roman Empire? |
| A26859 | And how little hold is there of them; if so many of the best of them will so easily change with the times? |
| A26859 | And if all be resolved into the implicite belief of the Bishops, why not of the civil Rulers as well? |
| A26859 | And is all necessary which is lawful? |
| A26859 | And is it his Civil Laws for Church- Government that you mean, or the Clergies Canons, or God''s Laws? |
| A26859 | And is it not a whole Church, if it be without a Form, which not God but Man is the Author of? |
| A26859 | And is not Printing a far more Publick declaration, than speaking it in one Room? |
| A26859 | And is not Union possible with such as Cyprian and the Carthage Bishops? |
| A26859 | And is not this a worse usurpation than to make new Ceremonies? |
| A26859 | And is the Controversy de nomine, Whether they might be called the Lydian Church, when we expected a satisfactory explication de re? |
| A26859 | And is this in your judgment, a tolerable Plea for Separation? |
| A26859 | And it is not much better to pretend that I or they were in all things of their mind: Doth the Assemblies judgment concern me any more than you? |
| A26859 | And must we have no Union till we can in all things think as you do? |
| A26859 | And now to your[ Why not?] |
| A26859 | And now, is the Synods Judgment more ours or yours? |
| A26859 | And of Man''s making, who can number the sorts that are and may be made? |
| A26859 | And of the first sort, what Independent is there that holdeth not an Vniversal Church at least, besides particular Congregations? |
| A26859 | And what be the common Tyes and Rules of Order which you mean? |
| A26859 | And what if any Subjects think that the King is not Orthodox? |
| A26859 | And what if they be under divers Kings( as the Bulgarians and Greeks were,) and yet ruled by one Ecclesiastick Authority and Law? |
| A26859 | And when you ask,[ Is it for fear they should have none left to preach to?] |
| A26859 | And who doth not distinguish between the Constitution and Administration, the Status and the Exercitium? |
| A26859 | And who then is the great Nonconformist and Separatist, You or I; if this be your mind? |
| A26859 | And why might it not be called the Lydian Church while it was a part of the Empire, as the African and other Countries were? |
| A26859 | And will you own that for these, dissenters may be called Schismaticks? |
| A26859 | And yet are you one that would have them all Silenced? |
| A26859 | And you make it not intelligible, whether by the Rules of the Christian Religion you mean only the Divine Rule? |
| A26859 | And ▪ Must they therefore Live without Sacramental Communion? |
| A26859 | And, If this be true, Is it Schism to take such for none of our Pastors? |
| A26859 | And, VVhat need have we to pray, Lead us not into Temptation? |
| A26859 | And, if they seek Relief of Nonconforming Ministers, Publickly and Privately, Whether it be Sinful Separation? |
| A26859 | And, is it not a Hindering of God''s Word? |
| A26859 | Are all different modes of Worship enough to make our Party Separatists? |
| A26859 | Are none of our Hearers more competent Judges than their Accusers, what profiteth their own Souls? |
| A26859 | Are none of our hearers more competent judges than their Accusers what profiteth their own souls? |
| A26859 | Are not the Laity, by your Canon to be denied the Sacrament, if they be not willing of your Episcopal Confirmation? |
| A26859 | Are not the Laity, by your Canon, forbidden to Receive the Sacrament in another Parish? |
| A26859 | Are not the Laity, that dare not Receive the Sacrament Kneeling, for the Reasons else- where mentioned, to be denied the Sacrament by your Rule? |
| A26859 | Are these notifying Terms for a Definition? |
| A26859 | Are these separating Schismaticks, that differ from each other? |
| A26859 | Are they bound to Sin against their Consciences, or to leave their Children Unbaptised? |
| A26859 | Are you sure, that the Independents take your Parishes for true Churches? |
| A26859 | As if they that have Communion with your Diocesan- Church, must have Communion with no other? |
| A26859 | At least, Who will think, that you may Judge them Separatists, or guilty of Schism? |
| A26859 | Be the thousands of your Parish as wise that hear you not? |
| A26859 | But do you understanding men know our hearts better than we? |
| A26859 | But either this Synod were in the right or not: If not, why then will you follow them, or plead their testimony? |
| A26859 | But if it be not the Laws of Usurpers in the Roman Empire by your measure? |
| A26859 | But if it be omitting any thing else in your rule that maketh a separation, what is it? |
| A26859 | But is the remedy impossible to the Imposers? |
| A26859 | But is there no more in your Application? |
| A26859 | But what abundance of Church- Forms, Supream and Subordinate may diversity of Magistracy make? |
| A26859 | But what if the Law forbad you to preach at a certain hour — do you separate from the Church, if you miss your hour? |
| A26859 | But what is all this de nomine to the Controversy? |
| A26859 | But what is all this to the business of Separation? |
| A26859 | But who shall judge whether the Bishops be Orthodox? |
| A26859 | But, What is Man? |
| A26859 | But, others do? |
| A26859 | By what Law? |
| A26859 | Can you tell so easily why it was done, and not tell that indeed it was done at all? |
| A26859 | Christian Societies are of divers species: Do you mean Christian Civil Societies, Kingdoms, free Cities,& c. or Churches? |
| A26859 | Did Robert Grosthead of Lincoln take this to be the greatest Sin save Antichrists, and do you take it for an Act Authoriz''d? |
| A26859 | Did not you conform to them as much as I did? |
| A26859 | Did our 18 or 19 years Silencing them, do that? |
| A26859 | Did the Churches under the Roman Power exercise their great diversity in Liturgies and other accidents of Worship without right? |
| A26859 | Did you not write to be understood? |
| A26859 | Did you write this as a Confutation of any body? |
| A26859 | Do not my Books which you cite, copiously express the contrary? |
| A26859 | Do we condemn men that do not all that is lawful to do? |
| A26859 | Do we not over and over tell Men, that the word[ Church] must be considered as equivocal, generical, and specifical? |
| A26859 | Do we take[ the Holy Catholick Church] in the Creed for a particular Congregation? |
| A26859 | Do you make Separation and distinct Communion the same thing, 〈 ◊ 〉 divers? |
| A26859 | Do you mean all these? |
| A26859 | Do you mean here by[ Rulers] the same as before by[ Laws] or what mean you? |
| A26859 | Do you mean that a[ Church] hath but one Notion? |
| A26859 | Do you not differ much more among your selves; as I before shewed? |
| A26859 | Do you take Separation here in the same sence as before and after; or Equivocally? |
| A26859 | Do you take all the Christians in the Turkish Empire to be one National Church, or not? |
| A26859 | Do you think that he is a Separatist that meeteth not in the same Parish Church with you? |
| A26859 | Do you think the Papists had not rather( with you) that we were Silenced, than that we Preach, who have been their greatest Adversaries? |
| A26859 | Do you think there is no other Species of a Church, besides that which is Constituted by the Christian Magistrate as Head? |
| A26859 | Doth any Man believe that it is in all these Texts taken in the same Notion( or sence)? |
| A26859 | Doth bare Conforming make all this difference? |
| A26859 | Doth it not allow the Sacred Scriptures? |
| A26859 | Doth making a City or Kingdom dissolve Families? |
| A26859 | Doth not our Practice( who go to the Parish Churches) shew our Judgments to the People if we said nothing? |
| A26859 | For where was any separation made but upon such a pretence? |
| A26859 | Had not they a right to govern and reform themselves variously as they did? |
| A26859 | Have I flattered them? |
| A26859 | Have I not said more against their faults than you have done, though not against their Duty? |
| A26859 | Have not all Diocesan Churches power to govern and reform themselves? |
| A26859 | Hooker doth, That if he be the Head of a Christian Church, it is necessary that he be a Christian? |
| A26859 | How can I know whom to obey, or when I separate from the Form of Government, if I know not what it is? |
| A26859 | How can you think that we can feel their censures, when we have so much worse to feel from the Canoneers? |
| A26859 | How come some that I thought the wisest that I know of your Auditors, to say as I say, and lament your Case? |
| A26859 | How dreadful and unsearchable are the Judgments of God? |
| A26859 | How few Congregations are so happy as yours, if all your Auditors are so much wiser? |
| A26859 | How many Hundred Congregations have Incumbents, whom the People never consented to; but take them for their Hinderers and Burden? |
| A26859 | How prove you that it is lawful for such to use more suitable helps, though Men forbid it? |
| A26859 | How then can you prove it True, that we Condemn them? |
| A26859 | How then could you say,[ If this be true, the Church must be dissolved as soon as the Congregation is broken up]? |
| A26859 | How then did you expect to be believed when our Books are in so many hands? |
| A26859 | How would you have all these score thousands spend the Lords day? |
| A26859 | I Answer First, How knoweth he the Negative that never heareth them, but like a separatist avoideth it as unlawful? |
| A26859 | I ask''t you formerly, is it not Sacrilege, to Alienate( unjustly) Devoted, Consecrated Persons, and worse than to Alienate Lands or Monies? |
| A26859 | I can not imagine what you will reply to this? |
| A26859 | I think he is bound to do more good then they, and not authorized to do more hurt? |
| A26859 | I. Q. I entreat you to tell me more plainly, which is the constitutive Regent part of a National Church? |
| A26859 | If I should Preach to them all against separation, and for Prelacy, were it unlawful? |
| A26859 | If Men can spare the Ministry, Why are they Maintained? |
| A26859 | If a Usurper get Possession( as K. Stephen and many others,) is the National Church then dead or null? |
| A26859 | If any in New- England had done it, is that our doing? |
| A26859 | If men be wrongfully Excommunicate, are they thereby absolved from all publick Worshipping of God? |
| A26859 | If men will ca nt over still, Who shall be Judge? |
| A26859 | If not, how could the Christian Church in its best and purest times, pretend to reduce Bishops and Presbyters to a Lay- Communion? |
| A26859 | If not; Is not difference in such Doctrines as great a difference, as using and not useing some of your Liturgick Forms and Ceremonies? |
| A26859 | If the Act of Vniformity, or the Canons be your Religion, Do not they allow God''s Word? |
| A26859 | If the Dean of St. Pauls be called the Parson of the Parish, and Preach to others that can Hear him, Will that serve the Needs of all the rest? |
| A26859 | If they are needful for the Safety of Mens Souls, Must so many Thousands hazard their Souls for want of needful Help, lest they be called Separatists? |
| A26859 | If this be unjust, is it Separation to be so Excommunicated? |
| A26859 | If we prefer our Little interest, why do we not Conform? |
| A26859 | If yea, than how much more would such Conformity to sin do it? |
| A26859 | Is Authority vain, unless all the rest turn like to Atheists? |
| A26859 | Is all the Matter, that We are Teachers, which the Law alloweth not? |
| A26859 | Is any time or place allowed us to preach in? |
| A26859 | Is every line and Ceremony Essential to the Church, and to each member? |
| A26859 | Is every one a Separatist that differeth from you in Doctrine, in publick Preaching? |
| A26859 | Is he a Separatist that liveth in your Parish, and ordinarily meeteth not in your Temple, but another allowed place? |
| A26859 | Is it Papists, Arrians, Eutychians,& c. or only the Orthodox? |
| A26859 | Is it Schism in France, and such other Countries, for the Protestants to Meet to Preach and Worship God, against the Wills of the King and Bishops? |
| A26859 | Is it Schism, or Sinful Separation, to Disobey a Command about Religion, which no Man hath true Authority to Give? |
| A26859 | Is it Schism, to Obey such Commands? |
| A26859 | Is it Separation for men to Refuse ▪ Pastors that are Usurpers, and have no true Power over them? |
| A26859 | Is it a sin to know when a man is in prison, or when his goods or books are distrained,& c? |
| A26859 | Is it because they neither Separate from the Conformists, or Nonconformists? |
| A26859 | Is it better let them hear none at all than that we preach to them? |
| A26859 | Is it for fear they should have none left to Preach to? |
| A26859 | Is it herefore unlawful, for any to teach them there, or receive them to pub ● ike Worship? |
| A26859 | Is it not likely that in season they preach their judgment? |
| A26859 | Is it only de nomine, or de re that you ask? |
| A26859 | Is it true, that I totally or ordinarily forbear? |
| A26859 | Is it unlawful to preach when forbidden, or worship God when forbidden, at Japon, Indostan, China, Turkie, France,& c. or only in England? |
| A26859 | Is not the Separation of whole Churches much worse than of single Persons from one Church, when it is upon unwarrantable cause or reasons? |
| A26859 | Is our Concent with the Universal Church, or your singularity from it, liker to Schism or Separation? |
| A26859 | Is that Separating? |
| A26859 | Is this it that you mean in your Description? |
| A26859 | Is this nothing to our Case? |
| A26859 | Is this the formal reason of separation? |
| A26859 | Is this then any satisfying Definition? |
| A26859 | It must needs be then against my will; and is none of my size to be endured? |
| A26859 | It s true: But did they do well or ill before? |
| A26859 | It''s lawful to have Communion with an ignorant Reader, or a drunken Priest( at least in your Judgment;) Is it therefore a duty to seek no better? |
| A26859 | It''s lawful to have Communion with the French, Dutch, or Greek Church; must constant Communion be therefore a Duty? |
| A26859 | Let that be the rule: who shall be judge whether it be sin or not? |
| A26859 | May it not be a Parliament when the House is risen, tho it be only for the work of assembled Men that they are related and denominated? |
| A26859 | May it not continue a School, when the Boys go home or play? |
| A26859 | Men may be saved that hear not you: But how can they believe, unless they hear, or hear without a Preacher? |
| A26859 | Must we not then Meet and Worship as we can, when you wrongfully Excommunicate us? |
| A26859 | Must we repeat these things as oft as you accuse us? |
| A26859 | Nay what Church is there to be named, that doth not assume this power to it self, without the least suspition of Sacriledge? |
| A26859 | No doubt of that: But to what purpose is it? |
| A26859 | Or do you take a Christian Kingdom and a Christian Church for the same, as the Erastians do? |
| A26859 | Or is it that two National Churches may have different Accidents of Worship or Discipline? |
| A26859 | Or which of them? |
| A26859 | Or why not as the Papists on Pope and Councils? |
| A26859 | Or, Have you proved, That I go by any other Rule? |
| A26859 | Or, if they be your Rules, omitting that, Is not Vsing another? |
| A26859 | Q. I intreat you tell me plainly, what you would have the many score thousands do on the Lords days, who can not hear in the Parish Churches? |
| A26859 | Secondly, whether( if humane) its Power be from the Prince, or from the Consent of the particular Churches? |
| A26859 | So farr as your accusation is untrue as to the fact, it''s but a further ill intimation to ask, why they do not that which they do? |
| A26859 | So that you do no worse, than for Union, to prove our Union impossible: and who is it that makes it so? |
| A26859 | Sure it is not to Refuse an usurper of the Kingly Power? |
| A26859 | Teach us what to say to the Papists, when they shall accordingly say to us[ what though there was no Vniversal Pastor in the Primitive times? |
| A26859 | The Duke of Brandenburghs Subjects judge him not Orthodox: Are they therefore absolved from obeying him in matters of Religion? |
| A26859 | The word Heresie with a Papist, and the word[ Separation] and[ Schism] with some Conformists, seem to be terms of Art: But what Art is it? |
| A26859 | Thirdly, what it is empowered to do? |
| A26859 | This being past doubt, were the Universal Church Separatists? |
| A26859 | This is true: and when said we otherwise? |
| A26859 | Though you excel us, do all others so? |
| A26859 | Till you tell us, how can we judge of our separation: what if an interdict silence all the Ministers in a Kingdome, must all obey? |
| A26859 | V. Doth every disobedience to the King, and Laws, and Canons in matters of Religion, Government and Worship, make men Separatists? |
| A26859 | VVhat are the Rules which we go by, which the Established Religion alloweth not? |
| A26859 | Was Guildas a Separatist that told the Brittish Wicked Priests, That they were not Christ''s Ministers, but Traitours? |
| A26859 | Was it a Divine Rule or a Humane? |
| A26859 | Was there not this Agreement in the case of Cyprian and the Council, who persuaded the People to separate from Martial and Basilides? |
| A26859 | We have been silent about eighteen years, while men have call''d to us[ What is it that you would have?] |
| A26859 | Well; now what is the crime of separation? |
| A26859 | Were all those Councils Separatists, that Decreed, That none shall hear Mass from a Fornicating Priest? |
| A26859 | Were they not as much your Brethren as mine, and nearer to your Judgment? |
| A26859 | Were you not willing to take notice of this? |
| A26859 | What Cause have we all to VVatch and Pray, That We enter not into Temptation? |
| A26859 | What Law of God bindeth all Men to stand to their Choice? |
| A26859 | What Sacraments do you mean? |
| A26859 | What a Case were Hungary, Poland, France, Germany, and the Greek Churches in, if this were true? |
| A26859 | What a sad Case were the Christian World in, if we may lawfully have no other Pastors than Gentlemen and Princes choose for us? |
| A26859 | What distinction of Communion is it that you mean? |
| A26859 | What doth your National Church differ from a Christian Kingdom, which we deny not? |
| A26859 | What harm will it do me, or them, if my Hearers go from me( as you say) to Dr. O? |
| A26859 | What if culpably they would hear no other? |
| A26859 | What if it be more then can be spared without the Churches wrong? |
| A26859 | What if it be most, must most obey? |
| A26859 | What if the fault which we blame some for, be their judging it unlawful to hear such as you? |
| A26859 | What if we held that the Church were so called barely in relation to Publick Worship? |
| A26859 | What if you by Calumny call my ordinary hearers Separatists, and they are not such? |
| A26859 | What is it for? |
| A26859 | What mean you by the[ Notion of a Church] which all Men know is an equivocal word? |
| A26859 | What mean you by[ Forming] a Congregation? |
| A26859 | What mean you then by reducing these Kingdoms back to Families, when they are Families still? |
| A26859 | What shew is there of such a consequence? |
| A26859 | What wonder if you shall do so? |
| A26859 | What''s that to me, and all such other? |
| A26859 | When Christ tells us how hard it is for the Rich to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven? |
| A26859 | When there are 〈 ◊ 〉 many things which may distinguish? |
| A26859 | Where then will you fix the notifying Character? |
| A26859 | Whether Heathens, Infidels, Mahometans, Socinians, Arians, Macedonians, Eutkchians, Monothelites, Image- worshipers, Papists, Anabaptists, or who? |
| A26859 | Whether the King, or a Sacerdotal Head? |
| A26859 | Whether to Separate from such a Parish, be to Separate from a Church in the sense in question? |
| A26859 | Which Party are the Schismatick? |
| A26859 | Which of the Bishops thought it any Sin, in the Dayes of Usurpation, to forsake their Parish- Churches? |
| A26859 | Who made You a more Reverend and Credible Judge of Separation, than Cyprian, and this Council? |
| A26859 | Whom did we cast out of all Church Maintenance? |
| A26859 | Whom did we ever forbid to Preach the truth? |
| A26859 | Whom did we imprison? |
| A26859 | Why ask you[ To what purpose should you resolve those Queries?] |
| A26859 | Why do they not Preach it to them in their Congregations? |
| A26859 | Why may not Divine Laws make a Church? |
| A26859 | Why then do you tell me of what I have written against Separation? |
| A26859 | Why then may they not make as many forms as there are Kingdomes, if not an universal Pope by the consent of most? |
| A26859 | Why think you that it is worse than that so many be untaught? |
| A26859 | Why will you so reproach your Church? |
| A26859 | Will you own that yet they may in his name be imposed on the World? |
| A26859 | Will you own them to be devised without Gods authority, and yet to be preferred to those that he instituted? |
| A26859 | Will you own your Churches de Specie to be new, and yet appeal to antiquity? |
| A26859 | Will your Logick prove, that we call it their fault to hear us; as if hearing us, and not hearing you, were words of the same signification? |
| A26859 | With such not ● to Eat,] and[ From such turn away 〈 ◊ 〉 it I ● tolerable? |
| A26859 | Would I have none taught the knowledge of Christ, but by my self? |
| A26859 | Would you have Excommunicate Men, Communicate with you? |
| A26859 | Would you think that all this intimated silence were an untruth against publick Testimony? |
| A26859 | Yea, if your Church be but a Christian Kingdom, do not you cut off all from that Kingdom too, that refuse your Forms or Ceremonies or Subscriptions? |
| A26859 | You Separate from My Auditory, and more than Separate; and I Separate not from Yours: Who then is the Separatist? |
| A26859 | You say[ we deny the fact which is evident to all persons] and you speak of me: Is this true? |
| A26859 | You will not tell me, because you can not tell me, how we shall know what Magistrates they be that have this trust? |
| A26859 | [ But why then is this kept as such a mighty secret in the Breasts of their Teachers? |
| A26859 | [ They generally yield, that our Parochial Churches are true Churches; and it is with these that Communion is required] Say you so? |
| A26859 | [ Where are the Priscillians that have been put to death by their instigation? |
| A26859 | and doth not more to make them to be of two Churches? |
| A26859 | and have they not still a distinct Family- power to govern and reform themselves, tho not a Regal Power? |
| A26859 | and how it cometh to be any great matter to separate from a Church- Form which God never made? |
| A26859 | and how it is proved? |
| A26859 | and that he was not Eximius Christianus, that would call them Priests, or Ministers of Christ? |
| A26859 | and that the Chief Power was in them, to Choose the Worthy, or Refuse the Unworthy? |
| A26859 | and that they were guilty of Sin, if they joyned with such Sinners? |
| A26859 | and to dread the Spiritual Judgments of God? |
| A26859 | and where? |
| A26859 | and whether you mention it as the uniting Bond, or only as a Rule to some humane Rule? |
| A26859 | and who hath the Power ever since? |
| A26859 | and who is the Schismatick here? |
| A26859 | and who must judge of their qualifications? |
| A26859 | and, Why then of the Church- Power? |
| A26859 | doth it follow that this Relation ceaseth as soon as the several Acts of Worship cease? |
| A26859 | may we then lawfully Preach to them? |
| A26859 | must the Church be still in infancy? |
| A26859 | nor why you would intimate the contrary to your Readers? |
| A26859 | or a Christian more than a heathen? |
| A26859 | or do they lose their Right to all Church- Communion? |
| A26859 | or not willing that others should take notice of it? |
| A26859 | or to make them all do that which they think to be unlawful? |
| A26859 | or, Prefer such pastors as Refuse them? |
| A26859 | or, any other to receive them, if they dare not Receive it from a Non- Preaching Minister at Home? |
| A26859 | we do it by no other rule but the Scripture; and doth not the Church require that the Scripture be a Rule? |
| A26859 | what Informers, what indictments, what prosecutions, what invectives are equally against all these aforesaid? |
| A26859 | what more natural than to propagate our like? |
| A26859 | what though many things in discipline and worship be changed since? |
| A26859 | why may not they also be called One Church, as the Moscovites are now called part of the Greek Church? |
| A26859 | why must you disturb the peace of the Church by reducing things to the infant State? |
| A26859 | yea, and think this impertinent to the business? |
| A27054 | & 17. what have you but our common Catechism truths? |
| A27054 | 1. Who have poisoned the Church and souls with more errors and more palpable, than the Papists who are most against Toleration? |
| A27054 | All sin, and all discord is contrary to our desired concord, and is our reproach: But shall no sinners therefore be endured? |
| A27054 | All the doubt then remaining is, whether your terms or those desired by us, are the true way of Love and Concord? |
| A27054 | All will say, Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? |
| A27054 | And Men will be inquisitive, By what Authority Subject Presbyters, and Diocesan Bishops and Churches were introduced after Scripture- times? |
| A27054 | And as if his Flock which then was but a few hundreds must be no greater, when the Kingdoms of the world are become his Kingdoms? |
| A27054 | And as the beloved Apostle saith, that GOD IS LOVE as a name which signifieth his essence, why may not the same be said of souls, which are his Image? |
| A27054 | And briefly as to the rest, there is no Calvinist believeth that ever all the Churches will receive the Lutherane Consubstantiation or Church- Images? |
| A27054 | And can it be expected that in such a world, particular Christians should be sound without their personal differences? |
| A27054 | And could it then be expected that all Christians be of the same opinions in all things? |
| A27054 | And doth not all this intimate the necessity of a Union of minds? |
| A27054 | And had not the Holy Ghost skill to speak even things necessary in tolerable intelligible phrase? |
| A27054 | And how can Christ make his Church, without uniting the members? |
| A27054 | And how can we do the works of Love without Love? |
| A27054 | And how come we to know that they were righter than the rest, that had it not? |
| A27054 | And how doth he believe in Christ that believeth him not to be God, which is most eminently essential to him? |
| A27054 | And how doth this Concord make it differ from a discordant odious noise? |
| A27054 | And how many several species of Christianity( or faith) may be made in the world? |
| A27054 | And how shall all these be able so to travel? |
| A27054 | And is Piety and Christianity none of that? |
| A27054 | And is there now any cause of discord here? |
| A27054 | And it was not by these means, but by better causes, notwithstanding these diseases: so that as we answer the Question, Whether a Papist may be saved? |
| A27054 | And must this be the only way of Universal Peace? |
| A27054 | And pre ● ume to charge them all with so great Error, as not to know the terms of Christian Concord, nor the way of Universal Peace? |
| A27054 | And that Christs true Flesh was broken, and his Blood shed by himself in the Sacrament, before it was broken and shed on the Cross? |
| A27054 | And that Diocesans and subject Presbyters be but humane Institutions, and therefore Men may again change them? |
| A27054 | And that instead of a Commemoration he offereth a real present Sacrifice for the quick and dead? |
| A27054 | And the Western Christians so divided among themselves? |
| A27054 | And then what wonder if the sacred office was corrupted to the doleful detriment and danger of the Churches, when the choosers were but such as these? |
| A27054 | And was it in a set form of unchangeable words, that all these Articles( or Expositions) were carried down till now, or not? |
| A27054 | And was it not so, and worse under the Popes and their Prelates? |
| A27054 | And was there then no pardon of sin? |
| A27054 | And was this discussed in any of these Councils? |
| A27054 | And what blessings had that part of the Clergy been, that now have left their Names and History to reproach and shame? |
| A27054 | And what greater blessing as a means to universal Reformation could be given men, than an universal common language? |
| A27054 | And what is the property of Babel but division and confusion of tongues? |
| A27054 | And what need a Council to declare that which all the Church did hold before, and was in possession of? |
| A27054 | And where will they find that Land on Earth that will answer their expectation, and can and will receive them all? |
| A27054 | And whether every Church of the lowest species must have a Bishop? |
| A27054 | And which part was it that kept this Tradition? |
| A27054 | And who can think that Erastianism, deposing the true use of Church- Government, as it hath begun, will not still more divide than heal? |
| A27054 | And who knoweth not that disagreement proveth ignorance and errour, in one party at least? |
| A27054 | And whose blood is safe, while such blood- sucking Leeches are taken for the Rulers of the world, and the Physicians of Souls? |
| A27054 | And why may not Christs own Laws serve for Church Union? |
| A27054 | And why should we be more impatient with this man, than with that? |
| A27054 | And why that, rather than any of the rest? |
| A27054 | And will the Christian world any more agree in such absurdities, than in a Quakers of Familists professing, that he speaketh by Inspiration? |
| A27054 | And will want of a Sacrament then frustrate all? |
| A27054 | And yet how little is this laid to heart? |
| A27054 | And you may adde a fourth, Whether Archbishops be necessary to it,( not disputing now the lawfulness of any of all these?) |
| A27054 | And, alas, how great a number live in our Churches never excommunicated nor publickly admonished who lye in such sins and will not repent? |
| A27054 | Are all damned that were born since? |
| A27054 | Are any two men in the world then of one Religion, any more than of one visage or slature,& c? |
| A27054 | Are men liker to hate you, or to plot rebellions for being gently used as men, or cruelly like slaves or dogs? |
| A27054 | Are not Parents pleased to see their children prosper, and every one delighted in the wellfare of his friend? |
| A27054 | Are they all Lutherans, or Calvinists,& c? |
| A27054 | Are they all Papists? |
| A27054 | Are they all of the Greek Church, or Armenian, Abassine,& c? |
| A27054 | As he is the Teacher of the Church, did he never teach them so necessary a thing, as what essential Church- unity is? |
| A27054 | Be asked, Were there not like to be then greatest Choice upon the extraordinary pouring out of the Spirit? |
| A27054 | But alas what crabbed and contrary fruits, how soure, how bitter do many distempered Christians bring forth? |
| A27054 | But have they ever( even at Munster) made any such horrid slaughters in the world as the great enemies of Toleration have done? |
| A27054 | But how hath this Tradition been carried on, and kept right? |
| A27054 | But if Copies and Translations differ and err, how can we make them our rule of judgment? |
| A27054 | But suppose some difference had been in their sence, was it any renouncing of Christianity and such as cut them off from Christ? |
| A27054 | But what are the terms and means of such a union? |
| A27054 | But what is it that is necessary to the being and validity of baptism? |
| A27054 | But what man thinks that it is so with all Error or Faults? |
| A27054 | But what then, must all subscribe to, if not to all the Bible? |
| A27054 | But why then is the world still unconverted, when all true Christians have this love? |
| A27054 | Can a wise Physicion( a true Peace- maker) find out no remedy which may better avoid the foresaid evils? |
| A27054 | Can all the Canons in the world attain more Concord and higher ends than these exprest? |
| A27054 | Can he build his house, and never set the bricks, stones or timber together? |
| A27054 | Can he prove that the Apostles were ever baptized? |
| A27054 | Can you make a Clock or Watch, without adapting and uniting the parts? |
| A27054 | Children may dye before they can be baptized, and are they by that natural necessity damned? |
| A27054 | Did he ever hear them, and confute their Reasons? |
| A27054 | Did not all the strife of Emperors for the power of investing Bishops, signifie this much against the Popes opposition? |
| A27054 | Did they all receive Laws, Ordination or Officers from Rome, or from its Emissaries? |
| A27054 | Did they ever murder 200000 people that lived peaceably at once, as the Frish Papists did? |
| A27054 | Do we not see that husband and wife are pleased by the Riches and honour of each other, because their Vnion maketh all to be common to them? |
| A27054 | Do you so debase and disgrace your selves and your religion, as to think or say that it can not prosper if any be but suffered to speak against you? |
| A27054 | Doth he believe, That Prisons or Flames will make men of one Affection? |
| A27054 | Doth it become absolutely necessary to Salvation, just at that Age, and not before? |
| A27054 | Doth not the Scripture say, That the Holy Spirit dwelleth in Believers? |
| A27054 | Doth not this imply, that after- times that might make so great a change, may also do the like in other things? |
| A27054 | Doth the work of Christ afford you no more comfort, than shall leave you thus burdened if any will but gainsay you? |
| A27054 | First, If it refer to the Person of the Receiver, how can the Holy Ghost dwell in any man, and not dwell in his person? |
| A27054 | For what is a Church, but many Christians united and associated for Church- ends? |
| A27054 | For what should hinder him? |
| A27054 | Have you any other measure or test? |
| A27054 | How easily may Hereticks creep in under such phrases as several men put several sences on? |
| A27054 | How fair and easie is the way to Heaven among true Loving and agreeing Christians? |
| A27054 | How few Countries are just of our mind? |
| A27054 | How few Subjects must such a Prince expect to have, that will cut off all that are not of one intellectual complexion? |
| A27054 | How it is to be used for the service of Christ and good of the Church? |
| A27054 | How it is to be used towards all men as men in society? |
| A27054 | How much less then hath he left the essentiating terms of Church- unity unprescribed? |
| A27054 | How much of the designs of Satan and his agents have lain in dividing the servants of Christ? |
| A27054 | How unanimous were the Sodomites in assaulting the house of Lot? |
| A27054 | How unlike Christs Ministers or Christians do you speak? |
| A27054 | If I am for Organs, for Images, for Crossing,& c. what hurt is it to let others meet and worship God without them? |
| A27054 | If by Writings, why are they not cited, seen and tryed? |
| A27054 | If ever you let them out of prison, will they not come out more alienated by exasperation? |
| A27054 | If it was Rome only, then they had a Faith different from the rest of the Churches; And how shall we know that they are not as true and sound as Rome? |
| A27054 | If many Notes ordered and united made not Harmony, what were the pleasure of musick or melody? |
| A27054 | If not, why should you conclude that ever they will be? |
| A27054 | If these be bred up in the same house, will they therefore have the same knowledge and conceptions? |
| A27054 | If they say, that at least for the first six hundred years all the Church was governed by the Pope? |
| A27054 | If this forcing course were now generally taken, how many Kingdoms would fare the better for it? |
| A27054 | If this man had Rulers that differed from him, as much as he doth from the Nonconformists, would he, and could he, presently change his judgment? |
| A27054 | If you think all must be united in any of these wayes, which of them is it? |
| A27054 | In general, What are the true and only terms of Church- Vnion and Concord, and what not? |
| A27054 | Is Gods Word worse than Popery? |
| A27054 | Is it not better that in Congo, China,& c. Christianity is tolerated, than that they had all continued of their One Religion? |
| A27054 | Is it that they all unite in Cephas( Peter) or in One Patriarch or Pope? |
| A27054 | Is not that Promise true, That whoever believeth, shall not perish, but have everlasting life; and that the pure in heart shall see God,& c? |
| A27054 | Is the Church now United in any of these terms or ways? |
| A27054 | Is the Scripture as insufficient as the Papists make it, without their supplemental Traditions or Decrees? |
| A27054 | Is there any thing in the nature of the thing so to perswade men? |
| A27054 | Is there any thing in the world that ever came down to us by more certain, uniform, consenting tradition? |
| A27054 | Is there no better way to the Churches concord, than that which must cast out either such men as you or I, and that so many? |
| A27054 | Is there not Truth enough in all the Bible in intelligible words necessary to salvation and Church Communion? |
| A27054 | Is this the sense of their having the Power of the Keys? |
| A27054 | It is confessed that the Lords Supper is for Confirming Men in the Faith they had before: And are not both the Sacraments of the same general nature? |
| A27054 | It is one question what is necessary to the justifying of the Priest, before the Church? |
| A27054 | Let us not therefore judge one another any more? |
| A27054 | Much less can they bring any pretense of it for the first three hundred yeas: Had they any Meeting in which they agreed for it? |
| A27054 | Must not Reason be regarded? |
| A27054 | Must they all be Papists? |
| A27054 | Must they all be of the Greek opinions? |
| A27054 | Must we write the same things as oft as Men arise that will repeat the Arguments so oft confuted? |
| A27054 | No man will be exact in Justice till he do as he would be done by: And who can do that who Loveth not his neighbour as himself? |
| A27054 | Nor my Dispute of Ordination Twenty Years ago written, and yet unanswered? |
| A27054 | Or did they ever use Emperors as Henry the fourth and fifth, and Frederick were used? |
| A27054 | Or forty thousand if not( as some say) twice as many, as they did at the French Massacre? |
| A27054 | Or he that hath no Election but the Kings or the Patrons, nor other proved Consent of the people? |
| A27054 | Or if he have but the minor part? |
| A27054 | Or if the major part be against him? |
| A27054 | Or if three neighbour Bishops be for him and ordain him Bishop, and many more be against it, or forbid it? |
| A27054 | Or that any of these are congruous terms of Concord, and that the same that doth not heal, will heal them? |
| A27054 | Or that honest men can lye, and say that they assent to what they do not? |
| A27054 | Or that they adhere to men with greater estimation? |
| A27054 | Or think it hard, that any can profit more by another, than by me? |
| A27054 | Or to pay their debts, or their taxes, tythes and other dues? |
| A27054 | Or were the uncircumcised Children in the Wilderness none of the Church? |
| A27054 | Or were they not before true Christians? |
| A27054 | Or which way shall particular persons there remedy it, they can not send to Europe for Ordainers? |
| A27054 | Or why should I be against it? |
| A27054 | Or will it be taken for certain to all Men, because it is so to some of clearer understandings? |
| A27054 | Other men can read as well as Popes and Councils: If unwritten, was it by publick Preaching, or private Talk? |
| A27054 | Seeing Christ was not baptized till about thirty years old, was he not Holy, and the Churches Head before? |
| A27054 | THe contentions of the world here call us to resolve these several doubts, 1. Who it is that should have the power of the sword or Magistracy? |
| A27054 | That St. Paul here writeth not only to the laity, but to all the Roman Church? |
| A27054 | That the Eastern and Southern are separated from both? |
| A27054 | That the Greek Church condemneth the Western, and the Western them? |
| A27054 | The Lutherans cry down the toleration of Calvinists: What need I name more? |
| A27054 | The Popes and his Cardinals may say they are a General Council; but who will believe them? |

| A27054 | The word[ Personal] I have heard used by none but this, and such Accusers: But what he meaneth by it, who can tell? |
| A27054 | Then how shall we know to whom he gave this power? |
| A27054 | Though Sacraments under the Gospel convey greater benefits, can he prove that it placeth greater necessity of them, than the Law did? |
| A27054 | UNITY giveth us a part in all the Joyes of earth and heaven: And what then is more desireable to a Believer? |
| A27054 | V. And how should these Patriarchs unite all the Church? |

| A27054 | When the Bohemians were so persecuted by warrs? |
| A27054 | When they suffer by you, will they like you or your opinions the better for hurting them? |
| A27054 | When your presumptuous Ordination is discovered to be Null, must all the People be Re- baptized? |
| A27054 | Where hath this Traditional Faith been kept till now? |
| A27054 | Where then is the difference but in words, one speaking of the Abstract( Deity) which the other never meant? |

| A27054 | Who will break the Egg to get the Chicken before it is ripened by nature for exclusion? |
| A27054 | Why did Abraham think there had been Fifty righteous persons in Sodom? |
| A27054 | Why did not the Apostles do it themselves, if they would have it done? |
| A27054 | Why then did so many Councils condemn it? |

| A27054 | Will they all believe the Monster of Transubstantiation? |
| A27054 | Will your way of violence make this better or far worse? |
| A27054 | Would it be nothing to a mother if all her children, or to a friend if all his friends, had all the prosperity and joy that he could wish them? |
| A27054 | Would such usage win himself to love the judgment and way of those that he suffered by? |
| A27054 | You would have the Church Articles, at least for the Tolerated, in Scripture phrase: And what''s the phrase without the right sence? |
| A27054 | [ The Church of the Armenians, and Ethiopians, and Indians, and the rest which the Apostles converted, are not under the Church of Rome?] |

| A26977 | And Reader, what Reason bound me to confine this Case, to one only sort of Justification? |
| A26977 | And a Mans Sence is no way known but by his expressions: The question is then, Which is the necessary Phrase which we must express our sence by? |
| A26977 | And against the Reformed? |
| A26977 | And are all these one Terminus, or hence one name then? |
| A26977 | And are not all these set together enough to prove, that we justly own all asserted by these Texts? |
| A26977 | And are we not all agreed of all this? |
| A26977 | And as Justification is taken for the Justifiers Action; why is it not as well to be denominated from the Terminus ad quem, as à quo? |
| A26977 | And as to the Phrase, Doth this Doctor, or can any living Man find that Phrase in Scripture,[ Christ''s Righteousness is imputed to us]? |
| A26977 | And can he have need of Sacrifice or Pardon, that is reputed never to have sinned( legally)? |
| A26977 | And can you find no fairer a shift for disagreement? |
| A26977 | And do you mean any more by[ OVRS]? |
| A26977 | And do you think that he differeth from me in any of these Propositions, or how this sin is derived from Adam? |
| A26977 | And do you think you know better what of mine is Elaborate, than I do? |
| A26977 | And have I not then good Company and Encouragement not to change my Mind? |
| A26977 | And have all my Readers already told you their Judgment? |
| A26977 | And have you brought more Witnesses? |
| A26977 | And how many make Forgiveness no part of Justification, but a Concomitant? |
| A26977 | And how unable is my weak Understanding, to make his words at peace with themselves? |
| A26977 | And if one of us be mistaken, must your bare Word determine which it is? |
| A26977 | And if we be as Righteous as Christ, are we not as amiable to God? |
| A26977 | And is it any wonder if you have many such Mistakes in your disputes of Justification, when you are so heedless about a matter of Fact? |
| A26977 | And is not all this beyond denial with Persons not studiously and learnedly misled? |
| A26977 | And is not he a weak Man that can not talk thus upon almost any Subject? |
| A26977 | And is not this plain English? |
| A26977 | And is not this true? |
| A26977 | And is that so? |
| A26977 | And is this it in the Application that your Zeal will warn Men of, that we must in this take heed of joyning with the Papists? |
| A26977 | And is this the great difference between Papists and Protestants, which I am so loudly accused for not acknowledging? |
| A26977 | And is à Lege Mortis, either from all the Obligation to Obedience, or from the sole mal ● diction? |
| A26977 | And may we not go to God in our Names as Righteous? |
| A26977 | And see you not that this is a lis de nomine, and of a name of your own introduction for illustration? |
| A26977 | And should not those many Significations be distinguished as there is Cause? |
| A26977 | And to contradict the common way of those with whom he joyneth? |
| A26977 | And to shew the World that even where their keenest Adversaries condemn them, and draw Men from them, they do but justifie them? |
| A26977 | And what hath he against this? |
| A26977 | And what is imputed but Righteousness? |
| A26977 | And what''s the dangerous Errour here? |
| A26977 | And when will he prove that these two Sorts, or Parts, or Acts, may not be at once transacted at the same Bar? |
| A26977 | And whence can a Relation be more fitly named, than from the fundamentum, whence it hath its formal being? |
| A26977 | And whether this easie stating of Controversies, without more Explication or Distinction, be worthy an Academical Disputant? |
| A26977 | And who is not Orthodox, himself being Judg? |
| A26977 | And who knoweth what Law he meaneth, whose Maledictory Sentence Justification absolveth us from? |
| A26977 | And who will thus dispute of the Definition and Causes of them, Efficient, Material, Formal, Final? |
| A26977 | And why must your Pupils be taught so to conceive of so great a business, in it self so plain? |
| A26977 | And why so? |
| A26977 | And will you make any believe that Definition of Justification is none of these Works of Art, which depend on humane Skill? |
| A26977 | And yet must we not be allowed Peace? |
| A26977 | Are Logical Definitions the necessary Way to Heaven? |
| A26977 | Are not Faith, Works, Just, Justice, Justification, words of divers senses in the Scripture? |
| A26977 | Are not all these Reconcileable? |
| A26977 | Are these things reconcileable? |
| A26977 | Are they Malefactors so far as they agree with you in Doctrine, and are you Innocent? |
| A26977 | Are they acquainted with all the[ Words that should make it intelligible?] |
| A26977 | Are we any way Justified by our own performed Righteousness? |
| A26977 | Are we reputed innocent in Christ, as to one part only of our lives,( if so, which is it?) |
| A26977 | Are we reputed our selves to have fulfilled all that Law of Innocency in and by Christ, as representing our persons, as obeying by him? |
| A26977 | Are you serious, or do you prevaricate? |
| A26977 | Are you sure that all or most Words now, Latine or English, have the same, and only the same use or sense, as was put upon them at the first? |
| A26977 | Are you sure that it was Publick usage, and Imposition from whence they first received their being? |
| A26977 | Ball, and multitudes such are visible still among us? |
| A26977 | But I deny your Consequence: How prove you that it is none when applyed therefore? |
| A26977 | But Reader, Why may not I denominate Justification ex parte principii? |
| A26977 | But alas, what is Man, and what may Temptation do? |
| A26977 | But as to the question, Have we kept the Law of Innocency? |
| A26977 | But can his Righteousness be Ours no way but by the foresaid Personation Representating? |
| A26977 | But did I ever deny that it is[ by Faith alone and without Works]? |
| A26977 | But doth he here then agree with himself? |
| A26977 | But doth he know but one sort of Law of God? |
| A26977 | But doubtless, many that seem killed by such Blows as some of yours, are still alive? |
| A26977 | But here is no Second mentioned: Is it in the nature of the things[ Justification, and Inherent Holiness]? |
| A26977 | But how is he so made? |
| A26977 | But if we must needs denominate from the Terminus à quo, how strange is it that he should know but of one sense of Justification? |
| A26977 | But is a Man absolved( properly) from that which he was never guilty of? |
| A26977 | But may it not be, by Faith alone in one sense, and not by Faith alone in another sense? |
| A26977 | But not to punish is one thing and to Reward is another? |
| A26977 | But sure, none at Oxford are in danger of taking me for an Oracle? |
| A26977 | But what if I had known( as I do not yet) what sort of Justification he meaneth? |
| A26977 | But what if all Divines were so agreed? |
| A26977 | But what if the word[ Justification] had been found only as he affirmed? |
| A26977 | But what is this Forum? |
| A26977 | But what is this pronunciation in mente Divina? |
| A26977 | But what proof of the consequence doth he bring?] |
| A26977 | But what''s all this to the Phrase? |
| A26977 | But what''s this to your Case? |
| A26977 | But where is it written? |
| A26977 | But where is that Est internum vel externum? |
| A26977 | But which of these is it that we must needs name it from? |
| A26977 | But who be these Men, and what be their Names? |
| A26977 | But whose phrase is Justifying Works? |
| A26977 | But why is the first Justification called Private? |
| A26977 | But yet it will not serve: what is yet wanting? |
| A26977 | But you say,[ Are perfect Contradictions no more than a difference in Words? |
| A26977 | By what Law can he impose on me what to hold? |
| A26977 | Can not I as easily say thus against you? |
| A26977 | Could you have found that Phrase[ Christ''s Righteousness is imputed], why did you not recite the words, but Reason as for the sense? |
| A26977 | De re, is not our Guilt of nearer Parent''s Sins such which you and all that you know( now at last) confess? |
| A26977 | Did I ever say, that I differed not from you? |
| A26977 | Did Mr. Gataker agree with Lucius and Piscator, when he wrote against both( as the extreams)? |
| A26977 | Did Mr. Wotton, and John Goodwin, agree with Mr. G. Walker, and Mr. Roborough? |
| A26977 | Did you Confute, or once take Notice of any of these? |
| A26977 | Did you never teach your Sholars this,( in what words you thought best?) |
| A26977 | Do I not expresly say, It is the Phrase that is not to be found in Scripture, and the unsound sense, but not the sound? |
| A26977 | Do I say here that Scripture mentioneth not Imputed Righteousness, or only that strict sense of it? |
| A26977 | Do all ordinary Believers by the use of the Scripture, know how to define? |
| A26977 | Do any sober Men deny it, and charge God with Error or Untruth? |
| A26977 | Do not I, with as great Confidence as you, lay Claim to the same Company and Concord? |
| A26977 | Do not Logicians make true defining one of the surest signs of clear and accurate knowledg? |
| A26977 | Do not you here proclaim, that Papists and Protestants differ not about the necessity of Good- works to Justification? |
| A26977 | Do the meanest Christians know how to define Justification, and all the Grace which they have? |
| A26977 | Do they not hold that Justification is more than an Absolution from the Maledictory Sentence of the Law? |
| A26977 | Do you difference them Quoad ordinem, as First and Second? |
| A26977 | Do you grant it of them Disjunctively, and yet maintain the contrary of them Conjunct? |
| A26977 | Do you mean that I began with you? |
| A26977 | Do you mean the words or the sense of Justification( as you call it) by Works? |
| A26977 | Do you mean[ Rank Good- Works with Inherent Holiness, and not with the First Sanctification, and you then do widely differ from the Papists]? |
| A26977 | Do you not invite me thus herein to be a Papist, when they rank them no where but, as you say, the Protestants do? |
| A26977 | Do you think( for I must go by thinking) that he holdeth any other Derivation than this? |
| A26977 | Doth Mr. Lawson, in his Theopolitica agree with you, and such others? |
| A26977 | Doth he think that the Law of Innocency, and of Moses, and the Law of Grace are all one, which Scripture so frequently distinguisheth? |
| A26977 | Doth not Christ say, By thy words thou shalt be justified? |
| A26977 | Doth not Mr. Cartwright here differ from those that hold the Imputation of the Active Righteousness? |
| A26977 | Doth not the Holy Ghost say, That a Man is justified by Works, and not by Faith only? |
| A26977 | Doth not the World know, that Heathens and Christians, Papists and Protestants, are Agreed on this general Rule? |
| A26977 | Doth the Scripture sufficiently reveal such Definitions to all? |
| A26977 | Doth this Law,[ He that believeth not shall be damned] damn Believers? |
| A26977 | Faith alone, and not Faith alone? |
| A26977 | Faith with and without Works? |
| A26977 | For we say that Faith was reckoned to Abraham for Righteousness: How was it then reckoned? |
| A26977 | Forum Divinum est ubi Deus ipse judicis partes agit,& fert sententiam secundum leges a se latas? |
| A26977 | Had it not been a Vanity of me, Should I in that sheet again have repeated, how I and the Papists differ about Justification? |
| A26977 | Had you not been better, have silently past it by? |
| A26977 | Hath every Man incurred the Curse by Moses Law that did by Adams? |
| A26977 | Have I not now proved that he erreth and complyeth with the Papists? |
| A26977 | He is near that justifieth me, who will contend with me? |
| A26977 | His Liberavit nos à Lege Mortis, I before shewed impertinent to his use, Is Liberare& Justificare, or Satisfacere all one? |
| A26977 | How blind are some in their own Cause? |
| A26977 | How can God accept him as just, who is really and reputedly a Sinner? |
| A26977 | How easie is it to challenge the Titles of Orthodox, Wise, or good Men to ones self? |
| A26977 | How easie is it to talk at this rate for any Cause in the World? |
| A26977 | How far is he One person with us? |
| A26977 | How few? |
| A26977 | How frequently is Chrysostom by many accused as favouring Free- Will, and Man''s Merits, and smelling of Pelagianism? |
| A26977 | How greatly do you dishonour your self,( and then you will impute it to me) by insisting on such palpably abusive Passages? |
| A26977 | How many call on me for Retractation? |
| A26977 | How much more then doth Learning to Mens salvation, than Grace? |
| A26977 | How prove you that? |
| A26977 | How shall we know that they grew not into publick use from one Mans first Invention, except those that( not Publick use, but) God Himself made? |
| A26977 | How then came you to be so much better at it than I? |
| A26977 | How then can Man be justified with God? |
| A26977 | I tell you, I know not what your Judgment is, nor know I who is of your Mind? |
| A26977 | I would such as you made not the Doctrine of Justification too little Practical? |
| A26977 | If all are without Faith, Love, Justification, Adoption, who can not give a true Definition of them, how few will be saved? |
| A26977 | If all the debt of our Obedience be paid, why is it required again? |
| A26977 | If he do confess the Guilt, and deny it necessary, when will he tell us what is the Contingent uncertain Cause? |
| A26977 | If he do not, why doth he call on me to prove it? |
| A26977 | If not, against what or whom is all this arguing? |
| A26977 | If not, is this Doctor more to be blamed for making them better than they are, or for making us worse? |
| A26977 | If yea, Why do you excuse your Trudging, and why would you select a Suspended Book, and touch none that were Written at large on the same Subject? |
| A26977 | Is Christ and each Believer one political person? |
| A26977 | Is Christs Righteousness OVRS as it was or is His own, with the same sort of propriety? |
| A26977 | Is Christs Righteousness OVRS? |
| A26977 | Is Christs Righteousness OVRS? |
| A26977 | Is Christs Righteousness imputed to us? |
| A26977 | Is it Christs Divine, Habitual, Active or Passive Righteousness which Justifieth us? |
| A26977 | Is it Christs Righteousness, or our Faith which is said to be imputed to us for Righteousness? |
| A26977 | Is it any more than the Name ORIGINAL that you are so heinously offended at? |
| A26977 | Is it as dangerous as you frightfully pretend to take it aliunde? |
| A26977 | Is it here the Words, or Sense, which you accuse? |
| A26977 | Is it like that any Dunce that is diligent, should Write no more Schollar- like at Sixty years of Age than at Thirty? |
| A26977 | Is it not a doleful case that Orthodoxness must be thus defended? |
| A26977 | Is it only, The Doers shall be Absolved from the Maledictory Sentence,& c.? |
| A26977 | Is it that vain, blind, maimed, unmeasurably procacious and tumid Reason of the Cracovian Philosophers? |
| A26977 | Is not all this talk of single Person, and Monarch in Divinity, and Appeals, the effects of a Dream, or somewhat worse? |
| A26977 | Is not here sad defining, when neither of these are the Scripture- Justification by Christ and Faith? |
| A26977 | Is our Controversie de re, or only de nomine, of the sense of the word Justifie? |
| A26977 | Is the change of the sense of Words a strange thing to us? |
| A26977 | Is the formal Relation of Righteous as an accident of our persons, numerically the same Righteousness? |
| A26977 | Is the meaning only, I will not absolve the wicked from the Maledictory Sentence of the Law( of Innocency)? |
| A26977 | Is the sense,[ How can Man be absolved from the Maledictory Sentence of the Law?] |
| A26977 | Is the sense,[ No Man living shall be absolved from the Maledictory sentence of the Law? |
| A26977 | Is there a Law, and unalterable Law for the sense of Words? |
| A26977 | Is this Disputing or Reasoning? |
| A26977 | Is this a denying of Christ''s Righteousness imputed? |
| A26977 | Is this absolving him from the Curse of the Law? |
| A26977 | Is this defending the Scripture, expresly to deny it? |
| A26977 | Is this distinction our proof of your accurateness in Method, and Order, and Expression? |
| A26977 | Is this mode of Teaching worthy a Defence by a Theological War? |
| A26977 | Is this the way of vindicating Truth? |
| A26977 | Justificatio Justificati( passive)? |
| A26977 | Justificatio, Justificans( active sumpta)? |
| A26977 | Mr. Tombes, and Mr. Danvers, for what I have Written for Infants- Baptism: The Papists for what I have Written against them: And how many more? |
| A26977 | Must that Name be shamed, by appropriating it to such as this Doctor only? |
| A26977 | Must we needs proclaim War here, or cry ▪ out, Heresie, or Popery? |
| A26977 | None that ever I heard or read of: Who knoweth not that the Papists take Justification for Inherent Holiness? |
| A26977 | Not so: Can not God pardon sin, upon a valuable Merit and Satisfaction of a Mediator? |
| A26977 | O Juniors, Will not such deceiving Words save you from my Deceits? |
| A26977 | O Sir, had you no other work to do, but to Vindicate the Church and Truth? |
| A26977 | Of this also I fully said what I held, and he dissembleth it all, as if I had never done it: And why must I prove more? |
| A26977 | Or Justitia? |
| A26977 | Or any to the contrary? |
| A26977 | Or can you not understand words, that plainly thus Distinguish? |
| A26977 | Or did I ever deny any of this? |
| A26977 | Or doth nothing but Confusion please him? |
| A26977 | Or every Man fallen under the peremptory irreversible condemnation which the Law of Grace passeth on them that never believe and repent? |
| A26977 | Or first and chiefly, They shall be judged well- doers, so far as they do well, and so approved and justified, so far as they do keep the Law? |
| A26977 | Or known in the Church for five thousand years from the Creation? |
| A26977 | Or only of that intollerable sense of it? |
| A26977 | Or rather, first, rub your Eyes, and tell us what is the Controversie? |
| A26977 | Or rather,[ How can he be maintained Innocent?] |
| A26977 | Or that I Retracted any of the Doctrine of Justification, which I had laid down? |
| A26977 | Or that each of them hath not its Malediction? |
| A26977 | Or the Cure is none when the Medicine is applyed? |
| A26977 | Or why must I prove any more? |
| A26977 | Or will it not abate Mens reverence of your disputing Accurateness, to find you so untrusty in the Recitation of a Man''s words? |
| A26977 | Quid Justificationem vocat Paulus hoc loco? |
| A26977 | Quid est, Propter Justificationem nostram? |
| A26977 | Quomodo Justificatur Homo coram Deo? |
| A26977 | Such Imputation of Righteousness, he saith, agreeth not with Reason or Scripture: But what Reason meaneth he? |
| A26977 | That one, or those many? |
| A26977 | The Papists minds sure, may be better known by their own Writings, than by mine: The Council of Trent, telleth it you: What need I recite it? |
| A26977 | The Papists place Good- Works before Justification, that is, Inherent Holiness; and the Protestants more rightly place them before Inherent Holiness? |
| A26977 | The Question is, only what or whose it is, Christ''s or our own? |
| A26977 | The Scholar asketh, may I not refer the case to the standers- by, and wash my face if they say, It was no Fire? |
| A26977 | There was a Disputant who would undertake to conquer any Adversary: When he was asked, How? |
| A26977 | Therefore here the Question is, Whose judgment I shall take as most probable? |
| A26977 | They agree not of the sense of the word[ Justifie,] and of the species of that Justification which Paul and James speak of? |
| A26977 | This is true and well: But are we no where Justified by Faith but in Conscience, till after Death? |
| A26977 | Was he mistaken in reciting the great differences about their Senses of Imputation of Christs Righteousness, if there were none at all? |
| A26977 | Was not Abraham our Father justified, by Works? |
| A26977 | Was not Bellarmin, or some of the Papists and the Socinians, as great Malefactors, with whom( as you phrase it) you put me in the Cub? |
| A26977 | Was not Camero, Capellus, Placeus, Amyrald, Dallaeus ▪ Blondel,& c. Reformed? |
| A26977 | Was not Christ as our Mediator perfectly holy habitually, and actually, without Original or Actual Sin? |
| A26977 | Were not Wotton, Bradshaw, Gataker,& c. Reformed? |
| A26977 | Were not all the Divines before named Reformed? |
| A26977 | Were not of late Mr. Gibbons, Mr. Truman, to pass many yet alive, Reformed? |
| A26977 | Were you bound to have read it in that sheet, any more ▪ than in many former Volumns? |
| A26977 | What abundance of Protestants do place Justification only in Fogiveness of Sins? |
| A26977 | What doth Inherent Holiness differ from the First Sanctification? |
| A26977 | What greater advantage will they desire against us, than to choose us such Advocates? |
| A26977 | What is the Difference between your Treatise, in the part that toucheth me, and that of Mr. Eyres, Mr. Crandon, and some others such? |
| A26977 | What is wanting? |
| A26977 | What is wanting? |
| A26977 | What kind of Readers do you expect, that shall take this for rational, candid, and a Plea for Truth? |
| A26977 | What meaneth a distinction between[ First- Justification,] and[ Inherent Holiness]? |
| A26977 | What saith the Scripture? |
| A26977 | What signifieth the[ First] then? |
| A26977 | What would this do but more offend you? |
| A26977 | What yet is the Matter? |
| A26977 | What''s the reason you have not hitherto directed us to the particulars of your Recantation; what, when, where? |
| A26977 | What? |
| A26977 | When Mr. Danvers, and Multitudes on that side, Reproach me daily for Retractations, and you for want of them? |
| A26977 | Where did I ever say, that I had Recanted? |
| A26977 | Where, and when? |
| A26977 | Whether Accidents may be properly defined? |
| A26977 | Whether Definitio Physica( as Man is defined per Animam, Corpus& Vnionem) be a proper Definition? |
| A26977 | Whether Definitio objectiva be properly called Definitio, or only Formalis? |
| A26977 | Whether a true Logical and Physical definition should not be the same? |
| A26977 | Which of these meaneth he? |
| A26977 | Which of us hath brought the fuller Proofs? |
| A26977 | Who knoweth what a Temptation they may make of such passages to draw any to Popery? |
| A26977 | Who shall condemn? |
| A26977 | Who would desire a sharper or a softer, a more dissenting or a more consenting Adversary? |
| A26977 | Who would have thought but this was his drift? |
| A26977 | Why did not Conscience at the naming of Calumnie say,[ I am now committing it?] |
| A26977 | Why may not these two parts of one Man''s Cause be judged at the same Bar? |
| A26977 | Why should you and I dispute thus about Matters of Fact? |
| A26977 | Will none of your Readers see now, who cometh nearer them, you or I? |
| A26977 | Will not this Man of Truth and Peace, give us leave to be thus far agreed, when we are so indeed? |
| A26977 | Will you bear with the diversion of a story? |
| A26977 | Wotton, and Mr. Balmford, and his other Adversaries, of the same Opinion in this? |
| A26977 | Yea, or Adoption either? |
| A26977 | Yes, if Gallus, Ambsdorfius, Schlusselburgius, and Dr. Crispe, and his Followers, be the Church? |
| A26977 | You do not sure: But is it that I began with the Churches, and you were necessitated to defend them? |
| A26977 | You will deal with it but as the application of that Rule to the Definition of Justification? |
| A26977 | Your urgent questioning here[ Do you not mean your self?] |
| A26977 | [ If it derive in a direct line from the first Transgression, and have its whole Root fastened there, what then? |
| A26977 | [ In Legal Justification( saith he) taken precisely, either there is Remission of sin, or not: If not, What Justification is that? |
| A26977 | and that I take it for an Injury, because I ▪ Retracted them? |
| A26977 | and that the Scripture mentioneth no other? |
| A26977 | and that we are made Righteous in foro otherwise than to be just in our selves, and so Justifiable in foro, before the Sentence? |
| A26977 | in other Points, but only those of[ High and difficult speculation]: And do you deny it there? |
| A26977 | or as to all? |
| A26977 | or do Protestants take the Sentence to be Constituting or Making us Righteous? |
| A26977 | or, How can he be clean that is born of a Woman? |
| A26977 | saith, Quid vanius est quam Justum arbitrari, qui Legem non impleverit? |
| A26977 | was it in the ancient Creeds and Baptism? |
| A26977 | which you can never answer: But if my Doctrine put you upon this Necessity, what hindred you from perceiving it these twenty years and more, till now? |
| A26977 | who devised it? |
| A26977 | — Next he saith, Scripture is silent of the Imputed Righteousness of Christ; what a saying is this of a Reformed Divine? |
| A26885 | 3.18, 19 and admire him and his mercies, and devote your selves to him and be ruled by him? |
| A26885 | 4. Who art thou that judgest another mans servant? |
| A26885 | A great matter indeed in comparison of eternal life: And must you not lose them shortly whether you will or not? |
| A26885 | Against all these bonds and healing principles and helps, will you be dividers? |
| A26885 | All the question is, What Mind that is that all should be One in? |
| A26885 | All the question is, What Spirit this is? |
| A26885 | Among the unsanctified there are as many Ends and Interests as Men: For every one of them hath a self to Please: And then what Unity can there be? |
| A26885 | An ● are not all the Profane of the sam ● Opinion? |
| A26885 | And are they not in the pow ● r of God? |
| A26885 | And as long as this great division is unhealed, what other means can bring us to any happy Unity? |
| A26885 | And can not they be content with a Ministerial power, to proclaim and promote the Laws of Christ, and according to these to guide his Church? |
| A26885 | And can we ever be agreed with our Natural enemies? |
| A26885 | And do I need to tell you that the ungodly covetous worldlings are of the same mind? |
| A26885 | And do not the most of the ungodly deny him in their hearts? |
| A26885 | And do they think that we know not what adding and chopping and changing they have made with their Mass Book? |
| A26885 | And do you think these will ever take one course? |
| A26885 | And how happy would this be for the troubled Church? |
| A26885 | And how is it possible for m ● n to agree that walk by such contrary Rules as these? |
| A26885 | And how is it possible for men of such contrary affections to be agreed? |
| A26885 | And how is it possible for these to be United? |
| A26885 | And how many do the ungodly make to themselves, while they depart from the Lord Christ? |
| A26885 | And how then can we expect that they should have peace with us? |
| A26885 | And how then should we live in Peace with such? |
| A26885 | And if this were not the Opinion of the ungodly, how could they put off Conversion, and say, Its time enough hereafter? |
| A26885 | And if you say,[ What the ne ● rer shall we be for Agreement in the other things? |
| A26885 | And in good sadness, would you have all the world be such as you? |
| A26885 | And is this a Unity and peace to be desired? |
| A26885 | And is this so great a comfort to you, to be dead among the living, and to be heirs of hell in the midst of them that are heirs of heaven? |
| A26885 | And must such as these be our only Judges? |
| A26885 | And shall this be called Vnity, that leaveth you at so sad a distance as this? |
| A26885 | And shall we all Agree in the Practice of this much? |
| A26885 | And shall we but Agree all in the Practice of this much? |
| A26885 | And shall we thus continue a division that doth prognosticate our Everlasting division? |
| A26885 | And should Paul have turned a fool again, and be deceived and disobedient again, to Ag ● ee with the rest of the deceived world? |
| A26885 | And should we obey God or men? |
| A26885 | And then should we not measure our Causes by it now? |
| A26885 | And w ● ll you 〈 … 〉 much of thediff ● ren ● ● y ● ● rselves, as to be the only r ● ● users? |
| A26885 | And what Unity is this? |
| A26885 | And what if by your parts and moral vertues, you are some way helpful to the Church? |
| A26885 | And what is this but actually to deny it? |
| A26885 | And what less do all ungodly men, that believe it not heartily, and will not obey it, but deny it in parts, and refuse subjection to it? |
| A26885 | And what man can reveal the things that God hath purposely concealed? |
| A26885 | And wherein? |
| A26885 | And which now do you think in reason is the fitter, that you turn to the godly, or they to you? |
| A26885 | And who can break away from the upholding arms of Almighty power? |
| A26885 | And who then do you think is likest to be the cause of our distractions and divisions? |
| A26885 | And why will you be of that way and company, that you will wish at last you had not been of? |
| A26885 | And why will you not be of the mind that you will be shortly of? |
| A26885 | And will you lay the blame of this upon Religion, which the Devil and the secret enemies of Religion do perform? |
| A26885 | And will you say therefore that the dead corps is happyer then the living? |
| A26885 | And will you stick at this, in the cause of God and your salvation? |
| A26885 | And will you think ever the better of Ignorance, or ever the worse of Learning for this? |
| A26885 | And will you yet say that our Divisions are long of our Religion, or of Christ the author of it? |
| A26885 | And withal what abundance of differences would be new made? |
| A26885 | And would you have us be contented with such an Agreement as this? |
| A26885 | And would you have us believe you that there is no danger in a fleshly life? |
| A26885 | And would you have us stark mad to forget so soon our former sorrows, and turn to a h ● e that hath cost us so 〈 ◊ 〉 already? |
| A26885 | And would you wish us to break so solemn a Covenant? |
| A26885 | And would you wish us to come and joyn with you in a way that you hope to forsake your selves, and in a way that you purpose hereafter to Repent of? |
| A26885 | And would you wish us to undo our s ● lv ● s everlastingly for your ● ri ● ndship? |
| A26885 | And yet would you have us again forsake him? |
| A26885 | Are Ministers unwilling that their people should all agree in holiness? |
| A26885 | Are not all the ungodly against the Scripture? |
| A26885 | Are not you in danger of damnation as much and an hundred times more then they? |
| A26885 | Are our distances from one another broken into pieces enow or not? |
| A26885 | Are there not convictions at the bottom, that the diligent heavenly Christian whom thou reproachest, is in a safer condition then thy self? |
| A26885 | Are these like our differences with ungodly men? |
| A26885 | Are we cut into shreds enow, and great enough, and our spirits bitter enough or not? |
| A26885 | Are you able to save us from the wrath of God? |
| A26885 | Are you willing to lay by passion, and scorn and hatred, and bitterness, and come to a treaty about the matter? |
| A26885 | As if God did deny his Grace to any of you, but those that forfeit it by wilful sin? |
| A26885 | BVT suppose we should be Vnited in the Spirit, and Agree in Holiness, do you think this would heal the Divisions of the Church? |
| A26885 | BVt may not a Profession of the same Faith procure a sufficient Vnity among us, though all be not Saints, and savingly regenerate? |
| A26885 | But can you say so of your turning in to us? |
| A26885 | But is it so with the ungodly? |
| A26885 | But perhaps some of you will say, What need you make so many words about a matter that no bo ● y doth deny? |
| A26885 | But perhaps you will say,[ Why are they not then more fully agreed?] |
| A26885 | But the Question is, What Holin ● ss and Godliness is? |
| A26885 | But what dang ● r would you be in if you should turn to us? |
| A26885 | But why do we not agree in the diligent avoiding of such a dreadful misery, and using our best endeavours to escape it? |
| A26885 | But why do you not agree in the hateing, and forsaking, and beating down of these sins? |
| A26885 | But will you agree in the practice of this mortification? |
| A26885 | But will you all agree with us in the practice of these things? |
| A26885 | Can a man that hath one spark of humility left in him, desire that his will may be a Law to all others, in doubtful or indifferent things? |
| A26885 | Can not they allow Christ this part of the Soveraignty, to make Laws for his Church? |
| A26885 | Can they expect a Unity of the Spirit with these? |
| A26885 | Can two wal ● together except they be agreed? |
| A26885 | Can you expect that God should acquaint such with his truth, that are so false to it? |
| A26885 | Can you think it possible to have Unity, as long as you will not Unite in God? |
| A26885 | Could the worst of you all have the face to make such a motion as this? |
| A26885 | Dare you on the one side, despise your weak Brother now for esteeming ● hese days above the rest? |
| A26885 | Do I mourn in secret, to see so many divisions and subdivisions? |
| A26885 | Do not the Godly still differ about Church- Government, and Orders, and Ceremonies?] |
| A26885 | Do not the godly differ among themselves? |
| A26885 | Do the Quakers or Papists change us all to their opinions by their books or preaching? |
| A26885 | Do we not see that they are more contentious, and divided into partyes, and make more stir about Religion then any others? |
| A26885 | Do you hate them, and yet cry out against Divisions, when your hearts are thus divided from God and his servants? |
| A26885 | Do you know sin is the worst and most dangerous thing in the world, and yet will you not let it go? |
| A26885 | Do you know that God is best, and yet will you not Love him better then the world? |
| A26885 | Do you know that Heaven is the only happiness, and yet will you not seek it more then earth? |
| A26885 | Do you know that an holy life is best, and yet will you be unholy? |
| A26885 | Do you know what kind of men those were that are called Saints, and Holy- dayes were kept in remembrance of them? |
| A26885 | Do you not believe it to be best and necessary? |
| A26885 | Do you not feel your minds strange to him, your hearts draw back from him, and find by his strangeness to you that there is a division? |
| A26885 | Do you not read Christ ● elling you, that its impossible to deceive the Elect? |
| A26885 | Do you not remember how Iehosaphat had like to have sped by a friendship and confederacy with Ahab? |
| A26885 | Do you not yet know that the Churches Unity is a Unity of the Spirit, and of Holiness? |
| A26885 | Do you take the word of God for your Rule or not? |
| A26885 | Do you think that its long of our Religion, that we disagree? |
| A26885 | Do you think that this were a wise combination? |
| A26885 | Doe you not see that the most godly are all in pieces, as well as others? |
| A26885 | Either the Godly must become ungodly, or the ungodly must become Saints and godly: Which must it be? |
| A26885 | Else what need so many Acts to restrain them from sports and other profanation of it? |
| A26885 | For all the Popish cavils at its difficulty, and mens divers expositions, yet how soon should we be agreed? |
| A26885 | For what good will it do to Agree today, and to break it or bewail it tomorrow? |
| A26885 | Hath true Christianity and Holiness such abundance of advantages against division, and yet will you be guilty of it? |
| A26885 | Have not you immortal souls to save or lose as well as they? |
| A26885 | He is not worthy the name of a man, that denyeth this: And shall we a ● l Agree now in the Practice of this much? |
| A26885 | How certainly then would God forsake the world, as a man would be gone from roads and serpents? |
| A26885 | How comes it to pass th ● n that here is never a one of you near two hundred years of age? |
| A26885 | How comfortably should I spend the few remaining dayes of my pilgrimage among you, if you would but all be brought to this? |
| A26885 | How commonly do they think that all is woon, and is currently their own, that they can but defraud the Minister of? |
| A26885 | How compassionate is he to them in their infirmities? |
| A26885 | How easie would all his studies and labours be, if they were but sweetned with such success? |
| A26885 | How fe ● use to instruct and admonish the families, and help to prepare the ● for death and judgement? |
| A26885 | How happy for the offended distracted world? |
| A26885 | How long halt ye between two opinions? |
| A26885 | How long have they been perswading you to set up Reading, and Catechizing and constant fervent prayer i ● your families, and yet it is undone? |
| A26885 | How long have your Teachers been labouring in vain, to bring you to the hearty Love o ● God, and heaven, and serious holiness? |
| A26885 | How much less should we make an Agreement to go the certain way to Hell, and to joyn together in damning our own souls for ever? |
| A26885 | How plainly did this appear in our la ● wars? |
| A26885 | How quickly then would earth turn Hell, and the flames of the wrath of God consume it? |
| A26885 | How tender was Christ even of his little ones that believe in him? |
| A26885 | I come upon a treaty with you, to see whether you will become One with us, and be reconciled or not? |
| A26885 | I suppose you''l say, It grieves you also? |
| A26885 | If it were in my power to cause all contenders to Love those that they contend with as themselves, do you think I should not soon agree them? |
| A26885 | If one of you will go to York, and the other to London, how can you possibly go one way? |
| A26885 | If the difference be that we use not the Common Prayer Book; doth that make a different sort of worship? |
| A26885 | If you could have Vnity without the Sanctifying Spirit, why are you then Baptized into the name of the Holy- Ghost as your Sanctifier? |
| A26885 | If you do, why then doth it not Rule you, and end the difference? |
| A26885 | If you say, Why then are not all admitted to take it Kneeling? |
| A26885 | In a word, our difference with the ungodly, though they will not confess it and speak out, is plainly this, whether Heaven or Earth be better? |
| A26885 | Is it contrary either to Wisdom or Honesty for you to turn unfeignedly to God, and to become a sancti ● ied godly people? |
| A26885 | Is it like the same Book that it was before the changes made by Gregory the great? |
| A26885 | Is it not a shameful self- condemning to keep Holy- dayes for the dead Saints, and to hate and rail against the Living? |
| A26885 | Is it not such that have been the principal causers of our late Divisions? |
| A26885 | Is it not the same sort of worship if we say the same words, or words to the same sence, either on the Book or off it? |
| A26885 | Is it not time think you to sound a retreat to our foolish wars? |
| A26885 | Is it possible that such an heart as this can be in the breast of the worst on earth? |
| A26885 | Is it that we say not at every time the very same words? |
| A26885 | Is the Church of England dead? |
| A26885 | Is the Scripture the Law of God or not? |
| A26885 | Is there any danger in turning to God, and living an holy heavenly life? |
| A26885 | Is there no Remedy for so great a misery, when yet our poor ungodly neighbours m ● y heal it if they will? |
| A26885 | It s against Nature, seeing he is the Center, and the Head and Fountain of Life: And what good would it do you to be one with us and not with him? |
| A26885 | Let us set the Word of God before us, and take the best helps on both sides to understand it, and let this decide the case with us: What say you? |
| A26885 | May not Arbitrators make use of a Law to decide a controversie, before it come to the Jud ● e? |
| A26885 | May not you study the W ● rd of God, and call upon him in prayer, and se ● your selves for heaven as well as they? |
| A26885 | Must I and my servants be reproached with thy crimes?] |
| A26885 | Must not subjects understand a Law to live by it, though they be not Judges? |
| A26885 | Must we not be judged by this Law? |
| A26885 | Must we yield to you; or should you 〈 ◊ 〉 away to us? |
| A26885 | Nay darest thou desire that none but such should have liberty to Preach or Worship in the Church? |
| A26885 | O could we but all Agree against this make- bate, this great disturber and troubler of the world, what Peace might we enjoy? |
| A26885 | O how sweet and pleasant a life is it to see brethren dwell together in such an holy Unity as this? |
| A26885 | O if the Word of God might be the Rule, how quickly should we be agreed? |
| A26885 | O say they, where is your Church of England now? |
| A26885 | O that we were but all agreed in this much? |
| A26885 | O what a joyful day were this, if I could this d ● y bring you to this Holy Unity and Agreement? |
| A26885 | Oh what abundance of differences are ended upon the day of true Conversion? |
| A26885 | Oh what use have we for those precious hours, for surer, greater, and more needful things? |
| A26885 | One is as the fire, still bending upward; the other as the earth or stone, still bending downward to the earth: And how can these agree together? |
| A26885 | Or if you had such Devilish hearts within you, as to desire such an Agreement as this, can you think that all the godly would yield to it? |
| A26885 | Or should we be so much worse then mad, as to yield to you if you did desire it? |
| A26885 | Our differences with you are, Whether Heaven or Eath is chiefly to be loved and sought after? |
| A26885 | Polutheism, which is the feigning of many Gods, is a most damnable errour: And how many Gods have all that are ungodly? |
| A26885 | Shall we all agree now in the practice of this? |
| A26885 | Shall we app ● al all to Christ, and try our differences by his revealed word? |
| A26885 | Shall we be so ● ad as to venture our selves on such words as these against the Word of the Ruler of the world? |
| A26885 | Shall we then without any more ado agree all upon a life of Holiness? |
| A26885 | Shall we wholly resign our selves and all that we have to God? |
| A26885 | Should not God be your master as well as theirs? |
| A26885 | So I may say to all the ungodly, Why trouble you the Church, and hinder Vnity? |
| A26885 | So do the bruit beasts, and so do their Persecutors: Will it make you happy to be called by the name of Christians? |
| A26885 | So what Union between the sensual world and the sanctified Believer? |
| A26885 | Surely a man of any humility would think with himself, Am not I also imperfect in knowledge? |
| A26885 | Tell me also you that are drunkards or unclean, would you have all the world become drunkards and unclean for Unity with you? |
| A26885 | Tell me, you that are covetous and proud, would you have all the world become proud and covetous to Agree with you? |
| A26885 | Tell us th ● refore wh ● t you me ● n by it, ● n ● who those be that you tak ● to be the Godly sanctified people? |
| A26885 | The Devils have a Unity of Nature, and some order and accord in Evil; for if Satan be divided, how can his kingdom stand? |
| A26885 | The Question now that we are treating about, is, whether we shall all agree together to be godly? |
| A26885 | The dead can not be United to the living: who will be married to a dead corpse? |
| A26885 | The unsanctified have indeed the name of Christians: but what is that to the nature? |
| A26885 | There can be no true Christian Vnity but in Christ the Redeemer and Head of the Church: For how can the members be United but in the Head? |
| A26885 | They cry out against the Ministry and others that fear God, as Ahab did to Elijah, Art thou he that troubleth Israel? |
| A26885 | To what purpose should I mention any more particulars, till we see whether you will Unite and agree in these? |
| A26885 | Unless we can create light in them, as well as reveal the truth to them, what good can we do them? |
| A26885 | Was the Book of Canons, or the Book of Common Prayer, or the Ceremonies Essential to the Church of England? |
| A26885 | We all kn ● w we should ● e Holy and Godly, and n ● ne should be ung ● ● ly; who doubts of this? |
| A26885 | We are willing of Concord with you; but we are loth to be damned with you: And do you blame us for this? |
| A26885 | We have renounced the flesh, the world and the devil; and should we turn to them aga ● n for Peace with you? |
| A26885 | We have shewed you the word of God for it; and fourty times mo ● e we could easily shew you ▪ And shall we believe you or such as you before God? |
| A26885 | We know your way to be of the Devil and 〈 ◊ 〉 flesh; and is it honest then to joyn with you in it? |
| A26885 | We live not on one sort of food; how then can we accord together? |
| A26885 | Well the ●, it lyes next before us in order to enquiry, What One Religion and Way we must be of? |
| A26885 | Well then; What Unity can we have with those that are not in Christ? |
| A26885 | Were you but once here in pieces among your selves, what a scorn would you be to all the ungodly? |
| A26885 | What Common- wealth will Unite with them that defend their enemies and rebels? |
| A26885 | What Judge would you have? |
| A26885 | What Union can there be between a block and a man; or a beast that hath but a sensitive life, and a man that hath a rational Soul? |
| A26885 | What Unity and Agreement can there be? |
| A26885 | What caused the Donatists separation of old, but the scandals in the Church: and the receiving of such upon repentance into Communion or ministry? |
| A26885 | What concord between light and darkness? |
| A26885 | What good doth the Sun to a man that is blind? |
| A26885 | What hath caused so many to turn separatists in England, but seeing so many ungodly persons in our Churches and Communion? |
| A26885 | What honesty is in such persidiousness? |
| A26885 | What if thy weak Brother dare not receive the Sacrament unless he Kneel in the act of receiving it? |
| A26885 | What if thy weak Brother pray upon a Book, darest thou therefore despise him? |
| A26885 | What is the danger? |
| A26885 | What man dare affirm that he understandeth every word of the Holy Scripture? |
| A26885 | What need had Ministers else to sue for their Ty ● hes? |
| A26885 | What s ● curity can you give us that we shall scape damnation if we turn ungodly? |
| A26885 | What say you now, would you have Unity or Division? |
| A26885 | What say you, wretched Souls, can you deny it? |
| A26885 | What say you? |
| A26885 | What say you? |
| A26885 | What the nearer an Agreement should we be? |
| A26885 | What then is the cause of this sad division in our Parishes? |
| A26885 | When we ask them why they do not set up the practice of Discipline, which they so unanimously plead for? |
| A26885 | When you despise a Holy life, are his thoughts like your thoughts? |
| A26885 | Where do ● h the ● cripture command them to it, any mor ● then you? |
| A26885 | Where know you a Parish in England, that hath no disagreements in matters of Religion? |
| A26885 | Whether Grace and Holiness, or sin and carelesness be the better? |
| A26885 | Whether Vnity in the Profession of one Faith, Government and Worship, may serve turn? |
| A26885 | Whether you have not as much cause to be afraid of sin as they? |
| A26885 | Who is it then that hath changed their worship? |
| A26885 | Who made them Law- givers to the Church of Christ? |
| A26885 | Who will trust such men as you, that will go against their own knowledge and confessions? |
| A26885 | Who would dispute whether Infants should be baptized, with a man tha ● knows not wh ● ● Baptism is? |
| A26885 | Why dost thou judge thy brother? |
| A26885 | Why might not all our Parishes agree on such necessary, honourable and reasonable terms? |
| A26885 | Why then doth he invite all, and tender them his saving mercy, and send his messengers to command and importune them to this holy Concord? |
| A26885 | Why then will you not all agree to do thus? |
| A26885 | Why, if you can agree no better with your selves, how can you agree with us? |
| A26885 | Will Magistrates, and Ministers, and people joyn together, to banish it out of Town and Countrey? |
| A26885 | Will you fly to Christ with broken bleeding hearts, for safety from sin, and wrath, and Hell, and set more by him then by all the world? |
| A26885 | Will you go to dispute or debate the case with one of these? |
| A26885 | Will you resolve that 〈 ◊ 〉 shall be so? |
| A26885 | Will you study with all Saints to comprehend his Love? |
| A26885 | Will you undertake to stand between us and his displeasure? |
| A26885 | Would it hurt or hazzard you to forsake your sensual ungodly lives? |
| A26885 | Would you have Peace or no Peace? |
| A26885 | Would you have us to be all of one mind and way, or not? |
| A26885 | Would you see the summe of all my charge in order? |
| A26885 | You are agreed I hope that God is to be obeyed rather then men, or then the flesh and the Devil? |
| A26885 | You call for Unity: Y ● u talk for Unity, and against sects and divisions: Do you mean as you speak? |
| A26885 | You complain that the world is of so many minds: Would you have them all reconciled and of one mind? |
| A26885 | You see your godly ne ● g ● bours in possession of this priviledge: And may not you have it if you will? |
| A26885 | You talk against being of so many Religions: Is it the true desire of your hearts that we should be all of one Religion? |
| A26885 | You tell us with many great complaints of the many differences and divisions that are among us: but shall we Agree so far as we are agreed? |
| A26885 | You will make and apprehend it to be your Interest to go contrary to us: And what Agreement can there be, where there are contrary Interests? |
| A26885 | You would not sure wish us to Agree to our own destruction, and to make a bargain with you that we may all joyn together in cutting our own throats? |
| A26885 | [ But how can you tell that these things were not in use in Gregories daies, when you have kept nothing unchanged which he was used to?] |
| A26885 | [ For God hath received him] As if he should say, Dare you despise or cast out him that God receiveth? |
| A26885 | [ Whi ● h way went the Spirit of the Lord from me to speeak unto thee?] |
| A26885 | [ Why hast thou troubled us? |
| A26885 | and Heaven be as dear to you as to them? |
| A26885 | and are you in good sadness, or are you not? |

| A26860 | And among all the erroneous and contradicting Councils called General, how shall all Christians know which of them to obey? |
| A26860 | And by what Authority? |
| A26860 | And did not Atticus, Sisinnius and Proclus win more by allowing them their own Communion, and living with them in love and peace? |
| A26860 | And did not Christ by that Spirit make Pastors and Teachers, as is before proved? |
| A26860 | And did not Christ promise, his Spirit to his Apostles, for the performance of their Commissions? |
| A26860 | And did not the Apostles faithfully perform their trust? |
| A26860 | And did you think that your roteing over the name to them that deny the thing, would make a wise man change his Religion? |
| A26860 | And doth every Baptizer baptize to himself, or to his Bishop? |
| A26860 | And doth he not know that it is the species of Bishops that we differ about? |
| A26860 | And doth he not see, that by this he also subverteth his foundation of Prelatical power also, as having no better institution than the Priesthood? |
| A26860 | And doth not Dr. Stillingfleet take it as the Introduction of Popery, to hold a Constitutive Regent Church- Government, National, or Catholick? |
| A26860 | And how can I know by the bare general name, when Dr. Stillingfleet denieth any such thing? |
| A26860 | And how prove they their jugding- power? |

| A26860 | And if he did not, 1. Who did? |
| A26860 | And if it be not divinely established, men may alter it; and what is all this stir about, to keep up their Domination? |
| A26860 | And if men made Bishops and Presbyters in specie, may not man unmake them? |
| A26860 | And if men made them, how come they to be essential to the Church? |
| A26860 | And if so, is his Prelatical mode of Ordination more necessary than actual Baptism? |
| A26860 | And if their Sacraments be invalid, what a case is Italy, Spain, France, yea and England in? |
| A26860 | And if these be unnecessary, what doth the man plead for? |
| A26860 | And is a false approbation of a man that wanteth Essentials, more necessary than having them? |

| A26860 | And of this how can any one be uncapable, that is but capable of understanding the common dealings of the world? |
| A26860 | And shall we still stretch our sense against the plain words, when the Parliament long after hath rejected such an Exposition? |
| A26860 | And the true nature and use of the Sacraments themselves? |
| A26860 | And then we shall soon see whether it be possible for our Diocesans to do it, or any considerable part of it? |
| A26860 | And then where is his regular succession from the Apostles? |

| A26860 | And what need there is of Definition to explain them? |
| A26860 | And what need we more than common experience? |
| A26860 | And when is it that their Christianity ceaseth for want of the other Sacrament? |

| A26860 | And whether they may put down the Preaching part, the Praying part, the Sacraments, or which of them? |
| A26860 | And whether they now take the Bishops and Church of France for Papists? |
| A26860 | And whether they took Gerson, Cusanus, Cassander, Erasmus, for Papists, or not? |
| A26860 | And who be the men that have this Office- changing- power, that we may know whether, and how far, and how long we are bound to obey them? |
| A26860 | And who but the Pope must call that General Council, preside, approve,& c.? |
| A26860 | And why are not they Schismaticks for disobeying a General Council? |
| A26860 | And why do they abuse the name of the Keys, as if it were the cause of that which it is no cause of, but is done only by the Magistrates Sword? |
| A26860 | And why doth the man talk only against different practice? |

| A26860 | And will you be angry with me, for not believing that God is such a one, as will for ever hate and damn in Hell the souls that loved him above all? |
| A26860 | And yet must we have Universities? |
| A26860 | And, O that they would tell us, what Churches they be that they live in communion with? |
| A26860 | Are all Teachers? |
| A26860 | Are all these less than the abuse of Liberty by Inferiors, in Praying, Preaching, or Disorders? |
| A26860 | Are not many actual practices grounded on circumstances? |
| A26860 | Are not many of those circumstances obnoxious to great mutability? |
| A26860 | Are not ordinary Governours the competent Iudges of their actual change? |
| A26860 | Are they all this while the children of God, or of the Devil? |
| A26860 | As for the Question, Whether you are a Papist, what obligation lieth on me to decide it? |
| A26860 | As if the wisest and best man had right to the Crown or Church- power? |
| A26860 | As if you should ask, How we prove that Teaching is essential to a Schoolmaster or Tutor? |
| A26860 | Besides the sub- urbicarian Assemblies ▪ 4 ▪ And how many Presbyters used still to be with the Bishop in the same Assembly? |
| A26860 | But 1. if they change Gods Laws, or instituted Church- forms or Government, may they not change their own? |
| A26860 | But as to the Thing, what is it more than I have described? |
| A26860 | But did God determin ● of three? |
| A26860 | But hath he yet proved that a true Minister of Christ hath no necessary work but thus to administer Sacraments? |
| A26860 | But how proveth he that Presbyters( and Bishops) are not Pastors or Teachers? |
| A26860 | But if he mean it only of Church- Governours, how come they to have so absolute a power more than Civil Magistrates? |
| A26860 | But it seems let them never so falsely expound Scripture, their own intentions still shall prevail against all the word of God? |
| A26860 | But what if a Council of many Nations, called General, gainsay the National? |
| A26860 | But what if the National Synod gainsay the Provincial? |
| A26860 | But why answer you not what we have said against it? |

| A26860 | Can you prove that the rest did any 〈 ◊ 〉 celebrate than preach? |
| A26860 | Did Augustines rejection of the Britains, and the Britains and Scots long refusing Communion with the Romanists, compel either party to obey? |
| A26860 | Did Cyril''s Counsel against the Ioannites win them, or harden them? |

| A26860 | Did our Bishops make the universal Law, which stablisheth the Office in the world? |
| A26860 | Did the Excommunicating of Leo Isaurus, Constantine, and the rest of the Iconoclasts, compel them to obey? |

| A26860 | Did we devote our selves to Patrons in our Ministry, or to Diocesans, or immediately to God? |
| A26860 | Do not Bishops generate their Species, and make Bishops their equals? |
| A26860 | Do not baptizing Presbyters( and Lay- men say, Turtullian and the Papists) assure men of salvation, though they should not hear of a Bishop? |
| A26860 | Do not many millions understand the common dealings of the world that understand not the Gospel? |

| A26860 | Some other may say, What''s your case to many others? |
| A26860 | The Church- men that I hear from, despise it, and say, What is Mr. Dodwell to us? |
| A26860 | The question is, Whether these that have Communicated, should yet be baptized? |
| A26860 | Then did the Church, or Kingdom of England well, to disobey, or forsake the Roman Power, that was over them? |
| A26860 | Then why may not the Bishops put down Presbyters, if they make the Species, or make as many Species as they please? |
| A26860 | There may be divers Bishops in one City or County; which of these mean you? |
| A26860 | They have decreed deposing Kings, absolving Subjects from their Allegiance, adoring Images,& c. And what is it that yet they may not do? |
| A26860 | This man minds me of the saying of an Atheistical Ph ● sician, What needs there all this Preaching and stir? |
| A26860 | Was it not Atticus and Proclus love and lenity that ended that division? |
| A26860 | Was it not by appealing to Scripture against the visible Church Rulers, that were commonly against them? |
| A26860 | Was it the Holy Ghost which was in the imposing Apostle or Prelate that was given by him, and out of him into the Ordained? |
| A26860 | Were not P ● pes, Council, Prelates, and Priests against them, for the far greatest part? |
| A26860 | Were not our Martyrs rather Rebels, that died for disobeying an Absolute Power? |
| A26860 | Were not that to call him worse than the Devil, whom they do not love? |
| A26860 | Were they all that while without any promise of salvation, or ordinary hope? |
| A26860 | What Papists, Quakers, Anabaptist, Separatists,& c. are compelled to any good by the Bishops denying them the Sacrament? |
| A26860 | What a task will it be for Mr. Dodwell to tell us what state the baptized are in till they receive the Lords Supper? |
| A26860 | What can you take the Office to be that includeth not Teaching? |
| A26860 | What if in France I had sworn obedience to their Bishops, and after see that it was an unlawful Oath, quod materiam, am I bound by it till death? |
| A26860 | What if it be once said that[ 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉,] when many other Texts expound it? |
| A26860 | What if the Bishops only forbid us to confess Christ, to come to Church, to Pray, to give Alms, to do any good? |
| A26860 | What if the King and Law command the contrary? |
| A26860 | What is it? |
| A26860 | What is the Vnion and necessary Communion of the Catholick Church, according to this accusing Defender? |
| A26860 | What proof was ever given of this? |
| A26860 | What self- contradiction and confusion would some men rather run into, than grant Christ to be Christ? |
| A26860 | What''s become then of his doctrine of obeying the Episcopacy of the place where we live? |
| A26860 | What? |
| A26860 | When did you prove that actual giving the Sacrament was essential to a Bishop or Presbyter? |
| A26860 | When the Orthodox Excommunicated the Arrians, did it force them to obey? |
| A26860 | When they got almost all the Bishops for them, and Excommunicated and destroyed their Excommunicators? |
| A26860 | When we are for one sort of Bishops, and against another? |
| A26860 | Where can they find such a Charter for the power of Presbyters in Scripture as they speak of? |
| A26860 | Where do you find that ever any one in the New Testament was ordained a Mass Priest, or Sacrament Priest, and not a Teacher? |
| A26860 | Whether false Prophets were not grievously threatened among the Iews; and whether Christ did not command us to beware of false Prophets? |
| A26860 | Whether he be not a false Prophet( worse than a false teacher) that falsely pretendeth to that which is proper to a Prophet? |
| A26860 | Whether the French, Spanish, Italian, Greeks, Nestorians, Jacobites, Copties, Abassines, be in their Communion, or not? |
| A26860 | Whether their Commands be not null, as contrary to Gods? |
| A26860 | Whether then an ignorant Oath to obey such Usurpers, repented of, do bind to obey them still? |
| A26860 | Whether they destroy not the ancient order of particular Churches( Bishops) and Discipline? |
| A26860 | Whether they took the Councils of Constance and Basil for Papists? |
| A26860 | Who giveth the Archbishop of Canterbury his Power? |
| A26860 | Whose Intention is it that giveth power to the Pope, if he be greatest? |
| A26860 | Why is not Ignatius confuted if he erred? |
| A26860 | Why is not every King a Bishop, for he may appoint men to do a Bishops work? |
| A26860 | Why should you expect that I should say you are none? |
| A26860 | Why then are the openly wicked so numerous? |
| A26860 | Why was not Diocesan Episcopacy in the Creed, if the belief and obedience be necessary to salvation? |
| A26860 | Will he take that love from them when they die? |
| A26860 | Will they not reply, And shall not the Bishop then he damned instead of us, as well as instead of the silenced Preacher? |
| A26860 | Will you tell the King so to his saace, that before his Coronation no act is valid that he doth? |
| A26860 | Would he make men think that I take him to have most authority or power, that hath the best gifts? |
| A26860 | Would they not laugh at you, or pity you? |
| A26860 | Would you have men believe that external solemnities are necessary to the Right of Heart ▪ Covenanters before God, as to salvetion? |
| A26860 | Would you have thought that ever a man should publickly use such a Cothurnus among the Learned? |
| A26860 | and all be damned Schismaticks that turn to better? |
| A26860 | and how few Subjects would it leave the King? |
| A26860 | and how shall they believe if they hear not? |
| A26860 | and how shall they hear without a Preacher? |
| A26860 | and in what order and cases? |
| A26860 | and it be known that our National Church is gainsayed by the far greatest part of the Bishops in the world? |
| A26860 | and must so much riches and honour maintain this much? |
| A26860 | and must the Holy Ghost be given by the Bishops for this? |
| A26860 | and the great and many benefits to be received? |
| A26860 | and the great and many duties to be done? |
| A26860 | and to make Mahometans think that they are Saints in comparison of us, and that Christians are an unholy sort of men? |
| A26860 | and what error so great that a former may not introduce? |
| A26860 | and while they defend their practices, and pretend Divine authority for them? |
| A26860 | and will the general name here explain each parties sense? |
| A26860 | and yet may a man be validly a Bishop, and the Key keeper of Heaven that believeth not that there is a God, a Christ or Heaven, and so professeth? |
| A26860 | and yet that keeping men from it is the means? |
| A26860 | are you serious? |
| A26860 | how great would the number be? |
| A26860 | if not the whole( by self- contradiction?) |
| A26860 | in a state of damnation, who was not baptized till near his death? |
| A26860 | is it a damning sin not to feed, cloath, and visit in Prison one of Christ''s little ones? |
| A26860 | no men judged according to their works, or for any thing done in the body? |
| A26860 | nor in Turky neither? |
| A26860 | or did they regard it? |
| A26860 | or that to Rule is essential to a Ruler; or to give Physick essential to a Physician? |
| A26860 | or which is it that they may alter, and which not? |
| A26860 | what may men come to? |
| A26860 | when in the days of Philippicus they had a Council, saith Binnius, of Innumerable Bishops? |
| A26860 | whether I hold a power in the Church to deny men the Sacrament that would have it? |
| A26860 | which is to make Christians of Christians? |
| A26860 | which must I obey? |
| A26860 | which of you was to blame to meddle with the Word till you had skill in Causes, to understand it without a Definition? |
| A26860 | — that it should with any man living be a controversie, Whether one Bishop be sufficient for all this? |
| A26911 | & c. And doth not the Canon yet disable them from bringing them to hear a Sermon at the next Parish Church, when they have none at Home? |
| A26911 | & c. Is the word Church here taken for no Christians longer than they are Assembled? |
| A26911 | 15. and 23,& c. How can you pray for a Reformation of that which you think needeth none? |
| A26911 | 27. prove, that all Nations in the World might devote their Children unto God, with the same assurance of acceptation as the Israelites? |
| A26911 | 6. when there were none?) |
| A26911 | A Pope is one that claimeth Soveraignty over all the Church on Earth: Doth he do so that taketh none for his Flock, but Consenters? |
| A26911 | Again I ask, Shall any man escape punishement by such a plea of mercy? |
| A26911 | Alas, how little know you what the Conformity is which you defend? |
| A26911 | Am I also a Rebel, Traytor, and no Christian, if I refuse? |
| A26911 | And are not the London Ministers able good men, that would do it if they could? |
| A26911 | And are not these made Judges of the sense of the Law? |
| A26911 | And can you think that after all this, they meant to leave it to the particular Bishops, whether there should be any Uniformity or not? |
| A26911 | And did you ever know a Child Baptized without any Sponsor? |
| A26911 | And do not Papists, and Turks say, that No Law against God is in force? |
| A26911 | And do you not plead for it openly, declaring that you Assent and Consent to all things contained in it, and prescribed by it? |
| A26911 | And doth not this imply, that else he should not come? |
| A26911 | And doth the Acts, being placed first, make it no Appendix? |
| A26911 | And doth their Government therefore contain no evil? |
| A26911 | And hath the Church and Cause of holy Discipline lost so much of your prayers too? |
| A26911 | And here he talks of the Corporation Oath, and exclaimeth[ Is this the way of curing Church Divisions? |
| A26911 | And how can the Incumbent know in such Parishes what they are? |
| A26911 | And how is it possible this can be amended rebus sic stantibus? |
| A26911 | And how is that proved? |
| A26911 | And how many such have you known in London excommunicated, or openly suspended? |
| A26911 | And if my Dissent do not Unchristen me, why doth the People''s Unchristen them? |
| A26911 | And if none be proper, what is it for him to be Great and One Law- giver to his Church? |
| A26911 | And if we begin to roul down the Hill, how little know we where to stop? |
| A26911 | And is all this fit Work for two or three singular Men? |
| A26911 | And is such a Man Unconverted? |
| A26911 | And is this the Power of the Keys or Excommunication? |
| A26911 | And is this the true and only way of Concord? |
| A26911 | And know you not that a Bishop hath no power against the Canons? |
| A26911 | And may not one profess any thing at that Rate? |
| A26911 | And must not you be a Non- conformist in the Diocess of any such Bishop as these? |
| A26911 | And must we be punished for Conforming? |
| A26911 | And shall any Wise Man follow such quick Changes? |
| A26911 | And should this be nothing to you, who call on us to reverence the Old Conformists? |
| A26911 | And that all are against it as with us that are against Diocesan Prelacy? |
| A26911 | And they have caused the Act of Elizabeth, to be bound with this Book, as it was with the Old: And doth this infer two Books from two Acts,& c? |
| A26911 | And to what purpose then do you write for Conformity, when one Lye must not be told to save our Liberty? |
| A26911 | And were it put in the end, were it not the same thing? |
| A26911 | And what can constrain an unwilling person to understand? |
| A26911 | And what drew you to begin with Reordination( which none of the Antient Non- Conformists are put upon?) |
| A26911 | And what good would so much Conformity do the Church? |
| A26911 | And what if you had proved the Salvation of all wicked Christians Baptized Infants? |
| A26911 | And what may not one thus say and swear? |
| A26911 | And what reason have we to surmise that they were not sound Believers? |
| A26911 | And what then? |
| A26911 | And what then? |
| A26911 | And what will not some Men affirm? |
| A26911 | And what''s this then to the sense of the Article in question, that speaks of all Baptized Children? |
| A26911 | And which shall stand, one or both, and how far? |
| A26911 | And who can manage an ill cause without somewhat that is too like it? |
| A26911 | And who can not pretend such scruple? |
| A26911 | And who doth any thing which needeth no repentance or amendment? |
| A26911 | And who hath equal Power with them? |
| A26911 | And who is so wise as to speak wisely at all times? |
| A26911 | And who knows how to define and bound your[ Reasons of Suspicion?] |
| A26911 | And who will not pretend it, when that will justifie them? |
| A26911 | And why do so few Conformists so use it? |
| A26911 | And why may you not say so of any Untruth? |
| A26911 | And why talk you of the Surplice, and omit the main Question, Whether we may consent to the Liturgy, Preface and Rubrick, which impose it as they do? |
| A26911 | And why was this so much disclaimed before? |
| A26911 | And would not so many good men amend it, were it possible? |
| A26911 | And yet can you assert that they are distinct Orders, when the Power of Ordaining is made the chief part of the Bishops Order? |
| A26911 | And yet do I err? |
| A26911 | And yet he before said himself, that the unwilling can not be Pastor and Flock: And is not this the same? |
| A26911 | And yet shall so sober a man tell us, That subscribing the Old Act, is subscribing the Old Book? |
| A26911 | And yet the Magistrate may make me a Pastor to the Parish? |
| A26911 | Are not Monarchy, Aristocracy, and Democracy, three Forms, contrary to unity of Form; though Humanity, Piety, and Regiment, be the same in all? |
| A26911 | Are not all Ministers to subscribe to Administer the Sacraments in no other Form than the Liturgy? |
| A26911 | Are not true Christians saved? |
| A26911 | Are not two thousand Ministers silenced, and more, that pleaded Mercy to themselves and others, for the reason of their Non- conformity? |
| A26911 | Are these Contents part of the Book? |
| A26911 | Are they not still members of the Parish- Church? |
| A26911 | Are those then admitted, that through Prophaneness desire not God- Fathers? |
| A26911 | Are we not then concluded against Conformity by the Bishop''s judgment, by your own Rule? |
| A26911 | Break the Law and Canon, and say you did it in Mercy and kept it, and try whether you will pass for a Conformist? |
| A26911 | But by such stretches what words may not Protestant or Papist take by an Exposition of his own making? |
| A26911 | But could you think this should convince me, that know it to be false? |
| A26911 | But do you take a Bishop here for the same as a Presbyter, or as a species of Presbyters, or as a superiour to Presbyters? |
| A26911 | But how shall I know whether every Stranger that cometh in be a Christian, or was ever Baptized? |
| A26911 | But in answer to, Where read we in Scripture of the Chancellor''s Office? |
| A26911 | But is not the Appendix part of the Book? |
| A26911 | But is this obeying him, and his Church and Successors? |
| A26911 | But our question is not what the Ordinary will do, but what the Law and Canon bind him and you to do? |
| A26911 | But the question is, Whether you Assent to it,( or more?) |
| A26911 | But the question is, whether they may be Consented to, and approved? |
| A26911 | But were not Parents formerly disabled from keeping Children and Servants from spending much of the Lord''s Day in Dancing? |
| A26911 | But what Law of the Church is it that you thus perform? |
| A26911 | But what if I knew that multitudes do not so, doth it make them of that Church because they should consent and do not? |
| A26911 | But what if it be a Man that consenteth not but thinketh he doth, or yet doth not know? |
| A26911 | But what is this to Conformity? |
| A26911 | But what obligation is on me to baptize all the Children of those that take me for none of their Pastor? |
| A26911 | But what will not Men talk for? |
| A26911 | But when did you prove that every professing sign is used to the same use in specie, as the covenanting dedicating Symbol of the Cross is? |
| A26911 | But wherein is it? |
| A26911 | But who shall be judge at some Years after? |
| A26911 | But whose reputation is it that you rest on? |
| A26911 | But why did you avoid the Order of my Book''s Objections? |
| A26911 | But why did you not give some answer to my express proof of the contrary? |
| A26911 | But yet is it true? |
| A26911 | But you might have known that we will not believe you: Why then should you thus put us off with your bare word? |
| A26911 | Can not many with the Pastor better govern one Parish, than one Chancellor can many Scores, or Hundreds? |
| A26911 | Can not we thus say any thing required, and mean what we list by it? |
| A26911 | Can the Church more plainly speak the sense of her Liturgy? |
| A26911 | Can we serve them in a Prison any better than Non- Conformists may? |
| A26911 | Can you say all these words if no Sponsor be there? |
| A26911 | Can you tell what every Subscriber to this day thought? |
| A26911 | Could you have more evidently confuted your self? |
| A26911 | Did any one Church on Earth receive a Pastor by the Magistrates imposition for the first 300 Years? |
| A26911 | Did he institute Baptism and his Supper, as a meer Man, or a meer Minister? |
| A26911 | Did not he say before, that the Man can not be their Pastor without his own and the Peoples consent? |
| A26911 | Did not the Orthodox Churches commonly refuse Bishops, which Valens, and such Erroneous Emperors set over them? |
| A26911 | Did the World ever here this Doctrine before? |
| A26911 | Did they that declared it contrary to Law, declare that men may resist it by Arms? |
| A26911 | Did you dream that all these take Laymens Baptizing for null? |
| A26911 | Did you ever consider the Text? |
| A26911 | Did you ever in your life know a sinner brought to a repentance seemingly unfeigned by them? |
| A26911 | Did you ever read the Conference at Hampton Court? |
| A26911 | Did you not thus keep the end of the Law when you Preacht at Warrington? |
| A26911 | Did you think that a credible profession of true Christianity, is not a credible profession of Conversion? |
| A26911 | Did you think that this was the meaning of the Liturgy, that all Infants are saved, when it saith All the Baptized? |
| A26911 | Did you think you spake to the Case? |
| A26911 | Did your Learned, Pious, Moderate Bishop, excuse you for that plea? |
| A26911 | Do all such as are afore described, make such a credible profession of true Christianity? |
| A26911 | Do or can Bishops by Visitations know the People and their Cases of a thousand, or many hundred Parishes, so as to hear and judge them? |
| A26911 | Do they commonly resist unlawfully Commissioned Souldiers by Arms? |
| A26911 | Do they declare their Assent to all things contained in the Book, and mean only the Service which they must say? |
| A26911 | Do they swear Obedience to the Fore- man and his Successors?] |
| A26911 | Do they that extirpate Presbytery, or Democracy, extirpate all? |
| A26911 | Do you believe that a Lay- Chancellor, who you confess hath not the power of the Keys, doth or can well execute them? |
| A26911 | Do you believe that this is the Species of subjection, which is meant in the Book and Oath? |
| A26911 | Do you confute me by repeating my one words? |
| A26911 | Do you consider what you say? |
| A26911 | Do you know how many have been Fined and sent to Goal for Preaching, though they pleaded for it Mercy to Mens Souls? |
| A26911 | Do you not know how unlike their Courts are to fit a sinner for absolution by true Repetance? |
| A26911 | Do you not now dwell in London? |
| A26911 | Do you think Worshiping in the high Places, was worse than this? |
| A26911 | Do you think none of them would do it, if they thought it a duty, and the lawful and safe way of Discipline? |
| A26911 | Do you think their Parishes have no scores or hundreds of Brutists, Atheists, Drunkards, Fornicators, or other scandalous sinners? |
| A26911 | Doth he say, and unsay in the next Lines? |
| A26911 | Doth it follow then, that because Men( yea, any Man) may make a professing Sign of his Mind, that Man( yea, every Man) may make a new Sacrament? |
| A26911 | Doth not the Church Command that no Parent be God- Father to his own Child, and no Questions or Answers be used but the words of the Liturgy? |
| A26911 | Doth not the Liturgy make the God- Fathers Office necessary? |
| A26911 | Doth not this Instance prove Mr. Cheyney, to be a mistaking Expositor of the Church- Government, the Bishops themselves being Judges? |
| A26911 | Doth that prove them Ministers too? |
| A26911 | Doth the Canon that forbids Men to go from their own Parish Churches, extend to the Bishop? |
| A26911 | Doth the Command of subscribing the thirty nine Articles contain no more, but to be Orthodox? |
| A26911 | Doth the prescript of the Oath of Supremacy and Allegiance, impose no more than to be Loyal? |
| A26911 | Few God- Fathers have propriety in them: How then will their devoting prove their Salvation? |
| A26911 | For what should hinder them when it is their interest? |
| A26911 | Had it been my duty to pronounce you excommunicate, because the Chancellor decreed it? |
| A26911 | Have I in the Books, cited by you, so largely told you what I mean, and must you print the Question before you will take an Answer? |
| A26911 | Have we so many Books of Ecclesiastical Policie, if there be no Political Society that is a particular Church? |
| A26911 | Have you read Dr. Hearne, Mr. Digs, Mich. Hudson, Mr. Welden, Dr. Arnway,& c? |
| A26911 | His first Question is,[ Do we take you to have the just qualifications of a Pastor?] |
| A26911 | His second Question is,[ Do we take you to be duly ordained?] |
| A26911 | How doth the Minister know that they come not, who knoweth very few of his Parishoners? |
| A26911 | How is the Bishop one of the Parson''s Flock, and the Parson one of the Bishop''s Flock, both at once? |
| A26911 | How oft have I told you, that I am laying nothing to the Charge of others, but excusing our selves? |
| A26911 | How prove you that none of these are Dogs or Swine? |
| A26911 | How prove you that? |
| A26911 | How will the Parson practice his Conformity, who consenteth when he putteth any one from the Sacrament, to certifie the Ordinary within fourteen Days? |
| A26911 | How will you prove that they judge all true Ministers whom they Tolerate? |
| A26911 | I ask you, Where is the Priest authorized to do it? |
| A26911 | I ask, Whether you would not have c ● ● led this a Sacrament? |
| A26911 | I askt him, By whom that Child had right more than any other Heathen''s Child? |
| A26911 | I think most of England are unconfirmed; if they desire it, what keepeth them from it? |
| A26911 | I would but know whether Men may make New Sacraments of the Covenant of Grace, or not? |
| A26911 | If Consent be not expressed, how shall it be known? |
| A26911 | If Legislation, the chief part of Supreme Government, be common to him and Bishops, why is not that Royally Common? |
| A26911 | If Rebels rise in Arms against their Rulers, but yet renounce Rebellion, how are they to be expounded? |
| A26911 | If Rulers command men to marry their own Sisters, and yet say, That they abhor Incest, may one justifie this because they are against Incest? |
| A26911 | If Socinians renounce all that is against God''s Word, and yet command you to renounce Christ''s Godhead, may you do it? |
| A26911 | If before, then must they have trial of him, or take all for( Faithful) that are ordained by a Bishop? |
| A26911 | If but some, what the better are we for your Discourse, if you tell us not how to know them? |
| A26911 | If it be not, must I sin when the Magistrate bids me to save him from Persecuting me? |
| A26911 | If not, how can you say you do? |
| A26911 | If not, must I write it again as oft as you will bid me? |
| A26911 | If not, what is it that makes a Member, and how are the Pastors special Flock truly known to him from others? |
| A26911 | If so, Then they are false: If not, How shall we know what is or is not part of the Book? |
| A26911 | If such be allowed in this Case, why not in all other like it? |
| A26911 | If that be ill, how will it justifie Lay- Chancellors? |
| A26911 | If the Church in three Books express her sense, must I not set all together, and take them in all? |
| A26911 | If the People, we are wheeled about to that which is resisted: And then, When is it that they must judge, before they receive him, or after? |
| A26911 | If the word Church may be taken for a Transient Assembly, doth it follow that there is no other? |
| A26911 | If they are not, Whether dwelling in the Parish make a Christian a Member of the Parish Church? |
| A26911 | If they be Members, to whom shall we present the Bishop for not coming to Church, or for his Crimes? |
| A26911 | If they be conceived and born Innocent, what need have they of Baptism for Remission of Sin? |
| A26911 | If this Brother mean otherwise, what meant he by saying, that No Man can be a Pastor to a People against their will? |
| A26911 | If three sorts excepted limit you not from excepting more; What can do it? |
| A26911 | If yea, how many? |
| A26911 | If you mean Christ''s Order, we must do it: If you mean the Churches, where shall we find it? |
| A26911 | If you say to God, as you do to us,[ What more would we have?] |
| A26911 | If you will confound Indulgent Connivance, and Conformity, must we do so too? |
| A26911 | If your wrangle be de re, do you deny their continued Relation? |
| A26911 | In what Synod did they declare it? |
| A26911 | Is Christ any Man''s actual Saviour whether they believe in him, and accept him or not? |
| A26911 | Is he in the right, page 96. that this Course would make Bishops, and Arch- Bishops, and Chancellors, stand in awe of the Priests? |
| A26911 | Is impeaching a Delinquent, taking Arms against the King''s Commission, if unlawful? |
| A26911 | Is it all Magistrates, or some only that have this Power, and Jesus Christ chooseth us Pastors by? |
| A26911 | Is it like that any would bring their Children to Christ to be Blessed, who did not believe in him? |
| A26911 | Is it not called An Act for Uniformity, and imposeth all the heavy Penalties on purpose to procure Uniformity? |
| A26911 | Is it not contained in the Book? |
| A26911 | Is it of no use, when the use is named in the Preface? |
| A26911 | Is it the same sort of Excommunication and Absolution which belongs to the Pastor and to a Lay- man? |
| A26911 | Is it to himself? |
| A26911 | Is it[ Your Children are pure to you, as your Meat is?] |
| A26911 | Is not all prescript of Means an addition to the Precept De fine? |
| A26911 | Is not the Church Universal Christ''s Kingdom? |
| A26911 | Is not the Imposing of the Cross expresly in the Book? |
| A26911 | Is not the imposing Precept[ contained in the Book] yea, and is it of no use? |
| A26911 | Is not this also Equivocation? |
| A26911 | Is subscribing to that Act, subscribing to the old Book? |
| A26911 | Is that old Act, the old Book? |
| A26911 | Is the Body part of the Head? |
| A26911 | Is the Book part of the Preface, or Contents, or Index, if these go first? |
| A26911 | Is the House part of the Porch, or the Porch part of the House? |
| A26911 | Is the Ordinariness the satisfying Character, who is not to be Excommunicated? |
| A26911 | Is the mode and disorder none of the[ All?] |
| A26911 | Know you not how they write against such different Administrations, as destructive and intolerable? |
| A26911 | May I Lye about any other things? |
| A26911 | May not the Pope say to the first Protestants, Never such a Protestation was made before? |
| A26911 | May you not then say what you list, which you think should have been commanded you, and suppose it the meaning of the Command? |
| A26911 | Must all receive Lutherans, or Socinians, or Anabaptists, or such like Pastors that live under Imposing Princes of those minds? |
| A26911 | My belief of your unfeigned honesty makes one at last pity you, and wonder when you add[ What more would you have?] |
| A26911 | My first question is, Which way the Child cometh to have right to Baptism, any more than all the Infidels Children in the world? |
| A26911 | Next as a meek Questioner, he askt me, Why I will not baptize their Infants, if I take them for Christians and Parishioners? |
| A26911 | No man in the Town is forbid to be present: Doth it follow that any man giveth title to the Child who may but be present if he will? |
| A26911 | Nor can I know so much as whether he be Christened, or be indeed a Parishioner? |
| A26911 | Nor do they ask, Whose Child it is? |
| A26911 | Of all the worthy Parish Incumbents in London, who did you ever hear once do it? |
| A26911 | Or be not a Heretick Excommunicate by other Churches? |
| A26911 | Or can you have such Answers? |
| A26911 | Or do they[ Consent to the use of all,] and take an Article of Faith to be put in for no use? |
| A26911 | Or do you conclude that all think what you think? |
| A26911 | Or had not the Churches then rightly called Pastors? |
| A26911 | Or if I am able to do the Office of a Pastor but for 500, and thousands more will come and claim it? |
| A26911 | Or the Lords, and Commons, and Judges, though they changed not the Species, but set up others in their steads? |
| A26911 | Or to such Churches as are but tolerated among Papists Parishes? |
| A26911 | Or to the Countries that yet are not settled into Parish Churches? |
| A26911 | Or why put you me so oft to repeat it? |
| A26911 | Or will you tell them that swear to amend it, that it''s well enough already? |
| A26911 | Or would it be here meet to write a Treatise to answer this your Challenge? |
| A26911 | Particularly about the Corporation- Declaration? |
| A26911 | Reynolds, and many other Protestants against the Papists? |
| A26911 | Saith he[ I would but ask Mr. Baxter, what is it that you mean by Associated by consent?] |
| A26911 | Soon said, but where''s the proof? |
| A26911 | That it is Jesus Christ that made this the Office of the Magistrate? |
| A26911 | The Law forbids me to say, They are, and therefore I say it not: But if you say, They are not, Dare you undertake to answer for them? |
| A26911 | They may escape the Gaol by flying their Country, as you do: But what shall they do with their Wives and Children? |
| A26911 | This can not be denyed: And is not this giving of the Holy Ghost more than man must now pretend to imitate? |
| A26911 | To your Seventh I answer, What would have plainer than the express Assertion of the Contents themselves? |
| A26911 | True: But is it their meaning de genere, or de specie, or individuo? |
| A26911 | V. WHether Mr. Baxter''s Doctrine and Principles concerning particular Churches be sound and good? |
| A26911 | WHether it be certain by God''s Word, that Infants Baptized dying before Actual Sin, be undoubtedly saved? |
| A26911 | WHether may Unconverted ones within the Church, demand and receive the Lord''s Supper? |
| A26911 | WHether the common sort of ungodly Christians, are to be cast out of the Church by Penal Excommunications, and used as Excommunicate ones? |
| A26911 | We are glad that the old prohibitions of Afternoon Sermons and Lectures, are not yet revived: But how few Parishes have such Lectures comparatively? |
| A26911 | Were all the Iews saved because they were a holy Nation? |
| A26911 | Were not Parish Ministers chosen by the Bishops and People, and not by Magistrates for 1400 Years in all known Churches in the World? |
| A26911 | What Alchimy is this? |
| A26911 | What Heresie may not be brought in by a false Translation? |
| A26911 | What Order is it that binds us to this? |
| A26911 | What Schismatick doth condemn so many Christians and Churches, as this Censure? |
| A26911 | What a dangerous Error hath he detected? |
| A26911 | What a sleep have I been in these 50 Years,( since I have been Ordained it''s 41 Years) that never could hear or read of any such thing? |
| A26911 | What an unpleasing talk is it to be put on a defence against such an Opponent? |
| A26911 | What can be plainer? |
| A26911 | What did the Parliament to any such purpose? |
| A26911 | What else are Men to be Converted to? |
| A26911 | What if I think it is a Sin to be obtruded on dissenting unwilling People? |
| A26911 | What if Travellers be that day of the Church? |
| A26911 | What if a Man disown only the Pastor of that Church? |
| A26911 | What if a Man doubt whether a Lye or Perjury be Sin in such a case? |
| A26911 | What if he remove his Dwelling? |
| A26911 | What if he will not joyn with them in the Liturgy, or Mode of Worship there used? |
| A26911 | What if that Church be Nestorians, or Eutychians, or Papists, and he separates from them, or they cast him out? |
| A26911 | What if the Parish have 60000, or 40000 Souls, and I am not able to do a Pastor''s Office for 500? |
| A26911 | What if the Parson Excommunicate the Bishop, and the Bishop the Parson both at once, what a Case are they in? |
| A26911 | What is Family Power to the Church? |
| A26911 | What is the Law that giveth you any such power? |
| A26911 | What need we more than experience? |
| A26911 | What practice is it that you mean? |
| A26911 | What reason did you think we have in such an Historical Assertion, to believe your bare word? |
| A26911 | What shall we do then by your Useful Error? |
| A26911 | What then? |
| A26911 | What then? |
| A26911 | What words can be so bad, that a man may not feign in Charity a good sense of? |
| A26911 | What''s this to the Primitive Churches that were not Parishes? |
| A26911 | What, and yet Conform? |
| A26911 | What, is he against Parish Churches after all this? |
| A26911 | What? |
| A26911 | When he is forbid, and the Minister forbid to suffer it? |
| A26911 | When, and how did they ever declare any such Agreement? |
| A26911 | Where found you that[ None else?] |
| A26911 | Whether I will or not? |
| A26911 | Whether Mr. Baxter''s Doctrine and principles concerning particular Churches be sound and good? |
| A26911 | Whether are the Bishops that dwell in the London Parishes( or others) Members of the Parish Church where they dwell? |
| A26911 | Whether is the Bishop, or the Parish Priest there the higher Power, or Governor? |
| A26911 | Whether it be certain by Gods word that Infants baptized dying before actual sin be undoubtedly saved? |
| A26911 | Whether may unconverted ones within the Church demand and receive the Lords supper? |
| A26911 | Whether the Act of Uniformity be any part of the book to which we are required to give our consent? |
| A26911 | Whether the Bishop that is Excommunicated by the Parson out of the Parish Church, be cast out of the Universal? |
| A26911 | Whether the common sort of ungodly Christians are to be cast out of the Church by penal excommunication, and used as excommunicate ones? |
| A26911 | Whether we may assent to the Preface for justifying all that was in the Book before? |
| A26911 | Whether we may declare our Consent that none should be admitted to the Communion, till he be confirmed, or desirous and ready to be confirmed? |
| A26911 | Which is liker Tyranny, not to pretend to Government over any but Volunteers, or to say, I will Govern you whether you will or not? |
| A26911 | Who will not pretend it? |
| A26911 | Why did you neither name the Bishops, nor the Time, or Place, or Witness, by which it might be proved the common sense? |
| A26911 | Why did you not answer the two Instances which I gave out of the Bishop of Lincoln''s excellent Manuscript? |
| A26911 | Why do you limit it to[ faithful Ministers] who must judge of their Faithfulness and Qualifications? |
| A26911 | Why obtrude you on us such things unproved? |
| A26911 | Why said you before, that the Power of the Keys belongs to the Pastors,& c? |
| A26911 | Why then did you pass by the answering of my Book concerning their part? |
| A26911 | Why then, was that Case free, and ours of the Cross not free? |
| A26911 | Why took you no notice that it is the Books Imposition of this, which you must consent to, and not only the Practice? |
| A26911 | Why, did you think your bare word should serve for this? |
| A26911 | Will you better understand me if I write it again than you did before? |
| A26911 | Would they not have ten thousand scandalous Sinners sometime to try and exhort to Repentance in one, or few Days? |
| A26911 | Would you by this rate of Argument convince us? |
| A26911 | Yea, a Church with you is only a present Assembly: What if these persons assemble not, or but twice or thrice a Year? |
| A26911 | You add, If the Printer, or any other through oversight bind up the Apocrypha, and put in the Contents of the Holy Bible, is it a part of it? |
| A26911 | You rightly call your self The Non- conforming Conformist; for you plead for it and against it, in the same Lines? |
| A26911 | You say, Where is it forbidden? |
| A26911 | You say,[ The Act it self implieth it; for else, what use is there for Laws and Parliaments? |
| A26911 | You should not thus become an Incendiary, by pretending things that you will not first understand: Where do I say what you affirm? |
| A26911 | [ Prove( say you) that there is any one thing in the Book, which may not in the course of Conformity be godly used?] |
| A26911 | after what we have said of it to Mr. Tombes? |
| A26911 | and Quo jure? |
| A26911 | and also the answering of any chief intimated reasons( while yet I did but intimate some few disclaiming argumentations?) |
| A26911 | and did your Excommunicators call it Conformity? |
| A26911 | and how few have Catechizing? |
| A26911 | and which must obey? |
| A26911 | and will not all this convince us what it meaneth? |
| A26911 | as Hearers, and Learners, and Candidates,& c. Do I not then honestly perform the Law? |
| A26911 | hath said against it? |
| A26911 | is,[ If we take you alone for our Pastor?] |
| A26911 | must he therefore do it that he may Preach without Persecution? |
| A26911 | of Church Government? |
| A26911 | or all the Patrons present? |
| A26911 | or other Churches, may have Communion with him, or not? |
| A26911 | or that Being Strangers, they know no harm by him? |
| A26911 | or the Family part of the Porter? |
| A26911 | or the Kingdom part of the King? |
| A26911 | our of that particular Congregation? |
| A26911 | where Parishes are so great that the Parson can do no such thing on one of a Multitude, nor doth so much as know them? |
| A26911 | who despaireth of proving any thing in the world, if he can not prove that? |
| A26911 | why do you tell us, that you take them as you remember them, without the Book, and satisfie your own conscience, while you seem to answer the Book? |
| A26911 | why then did you not thus awe your Bishop and Chancellor? |
| A26911 | will he prosecute the Bishop to himself, or to his Chancellor? |
| A26931 | 1. Who knoweth not how great an advantage Education hath, to form mens judgements to almost any thing, how bad soever? |
| A26931 | 2, yea, Calcedon,& c.? |
| A26931 | 28 without making any mention of Peter or the Pope? |
| A26931 | A man consisteth of a soul and a body of flesh and blood: Did sense perceive any of this in the Angels? |
| A26931 | Ad hominem; Do not the Papists forget themselves here, and contradict their other suppositions? |
| A26931 | Alas, how little a part of the world were the Christians at first, and are the Papists now, in comparison of the Heathens, then and now? |
| A26931 | Alas, what was Judaea( less than England) to all the world? |
| A26931 | All the antient Fathers and Catholick Church were for Transubstantiation; and are you wiser and in a safer way than they? |
| A26931 | And I pray you, How shall the unlearned be sure that the Translations are true as to the sence? |
| A26931 | And after this to cry up Vnity, and cry down Schism, what abominable hypocrisie is it? |
| A26931 | And alas, how many have given them this scandal? |
| A26931 | And are all these so mad as to cast away their souls upon a senseless contemptible Religion? |
| A26931 | And are not other Christians More than the Papists? |
| A26931 | And are not the Protestants as Learned as the Papists? |
| A26931 | And are there not far Greater Emperours and Princes Mahometans than any that are Christians? |
| A26931 | And are you determined out of the said Scriptures to instruct the people committed to your charge? |
| A26931 | And as to a strict syllogistical form, do you understand that best? |
| A26931 | And by this doctrine what bloody inhumanity is become the brand or Character of your Church? |
| A26931 | And did not their Fathers know what their Fathers held? |
| A26931 | And do Crab, Binnius, Surius, Caranza,& c. prove what one Council said by the authority of another, or by the Records themselves, yet visible to all? |
| A26931 | And do all Papists know their own Hearts or Minds, but no Protestants? |
| A26931 | And do they not all venture their souls upon that Religion? |
| A26931 | And do they not take that for the true Religion on which they trust their souls? |
| A26931 | And for all this, the wit of man can hardly devise What Reason they have to do it? |
| A26931 | And have not all these souls to save or lose? |
| A26931 | And have not all these souls to save or lose? |
| A26931 | And have not we the same Writings of Fathers and Councils as you have? |
| A26931 | And have you been a true Christian, and lived according to this Vow? |
| A26931 | And how do all your unlearned persons know that you give them not only the true sence of the Scriptures, but of all your Councils or Traditions? |
| A26931 | And how have you been sure since then, when Pope Sixtus, and Pope Clement have made so many hundred alterations or differences? |
| A26931 | And how know you that the Pope and your Superiours err not in a matter of fact? |
| A26931 | And how oft the major Vote hath gone against the sense of the far greater number of the House? |
| A26931 | And if God can do this naturally, why not supernaturally? |
| A26931 | And if in Councils, the Major Vote must carry it; Why not in the Judgement and Tradition of the Real body of Christs Church? |
| A26931 | And if it were not so, How could any such substance be known? |
| A26931 | And if the Popish Tradition seem regardable to them, Why should not the Tradition of twice or thrice as many Christians be more regardable? |
| A26931 | And if there be no Bread neither, there is no breaking it: Can that be broken which is not? |
| A26931 | And if you have been so treacherous and unwise, as to prefer a bruitish transitory pleasure, before Gods Love and the Joyes of Heaven? |
| A26931 | And indeed great sins Cry for great Vengeance: And what Greater than for Mind, Will and Life to be forsaken of God? |
| A26931 | And is it a true or a false appearance? |
| A26931 | And is the Ceremonial Law of Moses therefore your Religion? |
| A26931 | And it''s like that will be the longest liver? |
| A26931 | And must we have none but Infallible or Prophetical Expositors? |
| A26931 | And must we suppose mens minds to be changed in their sleep, when the awe or the oratory of other men change them? |
| A26931 | And our question is, Whether the Intellect in this first Perception be deceived, or not? |
| A26931 | And therefore if he can, will you conclude against all faith if once he do it? |
| A26931 | And this is like to be many years work, for men that have other business: And how know you that we shall all Live so long? |
| A26931 | And to this day, are not four sixth parts of the whole world( at least) Heathens and Idolaters? |
| A26931 | And what a thing by this do you mak ● Gods Grace to be? |
| A26931 | And what could make them think it the antient faith, if it were not so? |
| A26931 | And what evidence must that be? |
| A26931 | And what if you add[ to a Prophet or Apostle]? |
| A26931 | And what is their use? |
| A26931 | And what possibility then have you of Believing? |
| A26931 | And when a Papist can but shew their Novices one such palpable error in the Writings of a Protestant; What sad work will he make with it? |
| A26931 | And when shall he be restrained from hindering Christs Gospel, and the Peace and Concord of the Christian world? |
| A26931 | And when they know few or none of another mind, how should they know what they are? |
| A26931 | And why are all required to subscribe them? |
| A26931 | And why have you such great diversity of both? |
| A26931 | And why then do your Translators( as Montanus and others) still differ from that Vulgar Latine? |
| A26931 | And will not any man conclude, that he that can lye in one case, can lye in more? |
| A26931 | And will you turn Sadducee ▪ Atheist or Infidel because you can not confute their Sophistry? |
| A26931 | And yet doubtless all these advantages are not sufficient to disprove the follies of Heanism, nor the badness of their Religion? |
| A26931 | And yet must we suppose, that men come thither all of one mind? |
| A26931 | And yet will so much less serve to support the credit of senseless Popery? |
| A26931 | And, alas, how great advantage have they made of our late calamitous Civil Wars, and manifold scandalous Rebellions? |
| A26931 | Are not Christs promises and the Conditions the same? |
| A26931 | Are there no Essential Constitutive parts of your Religion, more necessary than the Integrals and Accidentals? |
| A26931 | Are you able when it cometh to tedious Volumes to examine them, and find who is in the right? |
| A26931 | As if the question be, Whether a Shilling be Silver or Money? |
| A26931 | Bishop Bramhall reckons the Papists to be about the fifth part of Christians: Suppose they be a third part? |
| A26931 | But I pray tell me, How know you that the Church and Fathers did so believe? |
| A26931 | But Whether there remain any Bread and Wine? |
| A26931 | But above all, I would know of you, what you mean by the Catholick Church, whose proposal is necessary to the being of faith? |
| A26931 | But did you never hear him give any Reasons against our Religion? |
| A26931 | But doth not sense say, Here is Bread and Wine? |
| A26931 | But how come so many among us in England to turn Papists of late years, where Popery is discountenanced by the King, Parliament and Laws? |
| A26931 | But how know you that the present Church doth say so, that this was the faith of the antient Church? |
| A26931 | But if sense be deceitful, how know you that you ever read such Decrees? |
| A26931 | But is not Christianity the same Thing now as it was at the beginning? |
| A26931 | But the question is now only, Whether Bread or Wine or sensible substance be here? |
| A26931 | But whether you are a truly Penitent, Converted sinner; and whether yet you are true to your Baptismal Vow and Covenant? |
| A26931 | But why should I give counsel to men that will not thank me for it, and that obstinately refuse much better? |
| A26931 | But, alas, What work shall I shew you when I come to open their bewildring uncertainties? |
| A26931 | Can you hold it, and not know what it is? |
| A26931 | Can you stay so long unresolved without injury to your soul, till he and I have done writing? |
| A26931 | Could he but prove an Institution of his Papacy as evidently, who would not be his Subject? |
| A26931 | D. But is there no hope of ending these lamentable differences, and removing the scandal of Infidels hereby? |
| A26931 | D. But suppose that they err in this one point, they may for all that be in the right in all the rest: Who is it that hath no error? |
| A26931 | D. But what if I have not Loved God, and obeyed him, above my flesh? |
| A26931 | D. But what shall they do with following Councils, especially that at Trent, which say the same? |
| A26931 | D. But why speak you nothing of their denying the people the Cup? |
| A26931 | D. But you said also, that the Present Church and its Tradition is against Transubstantiation, as well as the Antient: How prove you that? |
| A26931 | D. I must needs profess, that the Question which I would have debated, is, Which is the True and Safe Religion? |
| A26931 | D. I would know whether the Papists or the Protestants be the True, and safe Religion? |
| A26931 | D. Tell me then, how it cometh to pass that so many Princes, Nobles, Learned men, and Religious can be so marvellously deluded? |
| A26931 | D. What then if I find but one point false in the Protestants Religion? |
| A26931 | Dare you say that all your Church, or any one man, even the Pope himself, doth understand all the Scripture? |
| A26931 | Did I ever say, that the eye may not be blinded, or the understanding distracted? |
| A26931 | Did any of the Primitive Christians baptize men into the name or subjection of Peter or any Apostle? |
| A26931 | Did not they know what their Fathers held? |
| A26931 | Did these Councils all go to bed of one mind, and rise of another? |
| A26931 | Did you ever understand what the Protestants Religion is? |
| A26931 | Do they not too much magnifie the common work( and consequently the office) of a Priest, above the work of a Pope or Prelate, who seldom consecrate? |
| A26931 | Do they talk of Antiquity? |
| A26931 | Do they talk of Greatness, Empire, Acts and Learning? |
| A26931 | Do they talk of Vniversality and Consent? |
| A26931 | Do we not know the Course of the Parliaments of England of later times? |
| A26931 | Do you know all the Logical forms of arguing, all Moods and Figures, and all the fallacies? |
| A26931 | Do you know that there is any Earth or Water, or any corporal substance in the world, or not? |
| A26931 | Do you know what it is to be a Christian? |
| A26931 | Do you lay your faith and salvation upon plausible discourses? |
| A26931 | Do you not find that you condemn your selves? |
| A26931 | Do you not grant this? |
| A26931 | Do you not know that almost all the world was then Heathen and Idolaters? |
| A26931 | Do you not think that the Common Religion of the Heathens is very unworthy for any wise man to venture his soul upon? |
| A26931 | Do you think we know not how little reason you have to say, that the Council at Laterane spake the sense of all the Church? |
| A26931 | Do you think we know not that all the Papists are not past the third or fourth part of the Christian world? |
| A26931 | Do you think we never read the History of the Council of Trent? |
| A26931 | Doth your Tradition tell you that the ancient Churches did baptize men into a subjection to the Pope? |
| A26931 | Else why did he never once pretend to give us either an unerring Commentary or Translation? |
| A26931 | Every one of you saith, I am of Paul, and I of Apollo, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ: Is Christ divided? |
| A26931 | For it is as certain that we have as many degrees of our understanding many Texts of Scripture? |
| A26931 | Had you then Infallible Translators? |
| A26931 | Hath Christianity no Constitutive special Essence, but only the Genus of Divine Revelation which is common to that with all other Divine Revelations? |
| A26931 | Hath Christianity no Essence? |
| A26931 | Hath not a Christian now the same definition as then? |
| A26931 | Hath not education a great hand in this? |
| A26931 | Have Papists any surer and more satisfying evidence for you, than sense? |
| A26931 | Have not all these Christians souls to save or lose? |
| A26931 | Have not they souls to save or lose as well as you? |
| A26931 | Have you any way of perception of corporal substances but by sense? |
| A26931 | Have you no description for it, but that It is Divine Revelation proposed by the Church? |
| A26931 | Have you obeyed God more than the desires of your flesh? |
| A26931 | Have you preferred the Kingdom of Heaven before all the pleasures, honours and riches of this world? |
| A26931 | Have you read Dr. Challoner of the Catholick Church? |
| A26931 | Have you sincerely submitted to the healing saving Doctrine, Law and example of Christ, and to the sanctifying motions of his Holy Spirit? |
| A26931 | How can a man that is a sinner do such Miracles? |
| A26931 | How come so many Princes, Nobles, Learned men, and whole Nations to be Papists? |
| A26931 | How come so many among us at home of late inclinable to Popery? |
| A26931 | How know you that God hath any revelations? |
| A26931 | How know you that they are not forgeries, or since corrupted? |
| A26931 | How little are they as to the first, to the Heathen Empires? |
| A26931 | How long will Princes and Prelates, Learned and Unlearned be deluded by him, or fear Power? |
| A26931 | How much a few men of more than ordinary parts and interest, can do with the rest? |
| A26931 | How much less dare you say that any of you perfectly understand all the Councils, which are the rest of your Religion? |
| A26931 | How shall I be sure that he saith it? |
| A26931 | How then will they prove that one is spoken properly, and the other figuratively? |
| A26931 | How to help them off their Councils? |
| A26931 | How was all the Greek Church for many hundred years sure of the soundness of the Translation called the Septuagint? |
| A26931 | How was the Latine Church sure of the soundness of their Translation before Hierome amended it? |
| A26931 | How will you ever know which one of all these is in the right]? |
| A26931 | I grant that it is unknown to us, how far Christs Glorified body may extend? |
| A26931 | I grant therefore, that our senses are no Competent Judges, Whether Christs true body be in the Sacrament? |
| A26931 | I pray you tell me; Did you ever meet with any of them that doubt of another life, or of the Immortality of the soul? |
| A26931 | I pray you what then is the Religion of all the unlearned Protestants, who know not a word of the Originals? |
| A26931 | I tell you, This is my meaning, when I say, I am a Protestant: and can you tell my meaning better than my self? |
| A26931 | I will stand to their own judgements in this, Whether all their foundation and faith be not uncertain, if any one Article of their faith prove false? |
| A26931 | If I see your picture or statue, is my sense deceived if I take it not for a living man? |
| A26931 | If Something, Why may it not be defined, and differenced from all false Religions? |
| A26931 | If True, then there is Bread and Wine: If false, it is a false sign: And what is that false appearance which God maketh a Sacrament of? |
| A26931 | If an Anabaptist, why not an Antinomian? |
| A26931 | If an Independant, why not an Anabaptist? |
| A26931 | If by books, How know you that there is a book, but by sense? |
| A26931 | If by preachers words, How know you that there is a preacher, or a word but by sense? |
| A26931 | If he can do it only on the bread and wine present, how near must it be? |
| A26931 | If he have, Why can he not do it now? |
| A26931 | If it be All, how impious and cruel are they that would never do it to this day? |
| A26931 | If one Text of Gods word were false, and you would say, You may believe all the rest save that, how will you ever prove it? |
| A26931 | If otherwise, why may he not change all the bread and wine in the Shop or Cellar where he cometh, intending consecration to an ill end? |
| A26931 | If our Baptism have not all that is essential, why do you never rebaptize Protestants when they turn to you? |
| A26931 | If so, What need you say a Council is the Church? |
| A26931 | If that General Council decreed Transubstantiation, what could move them so to do, if it were not the faith of the Church before? |
| A26931 | If they say that the species of Bread and Wine is the sensible sign, what mean they by that cheating word[ species?] |
| A26931 | If you do, tell us how you know it but by the ● erception of sense presenting it to the Intellect? |
| A26931 | If you say that the Council saith it, How shall I know that there is a man or ever was a Council, or a Book in the world? |
| A26931 | If you say, But who should take him down, if it might be done? |
| A26931 | If you were never a true Christian, you were never a true Protestant: And then what wonder if you turn Papist? |
| A26931 | If your reason be good, how much more will it hold for the Heathens, than the Papists? |
| A26931 | Is Baptism altered? |
| A26931 | Is Christianity Nothing? |
| A26931 | Is a mans Act of faith, Gods Word or Revelation? |
| A26931 | Is it All the Scriptures, or but some part, that your Pope or Councils can Infallibly both translate and expound? |
| A26931 | Is it not strange that an Infidel receiveth as verily the real flesh and blood of Christ as a Saint, and yet not the benefits or effects? |
| A26931 | Is it the Scripture in the Original, or in the Translations, which you say is your Religion, Law or Rule? |
| A26931 | Is not Christianity your Religion? |
| A26931 | Is not here express proof? |
| A26931 | Is not the Bible at least Part of your Religion? |
| A26931 | Is not this a marvellous power of Miracles, which becometh like a nature to them, as the power of speaking is? |
| A26931 | Is not this plain? |
| A26931 | Is the Creed no part of your Religion? |
| A26931 | Is there either Quantity, Colour, Smell, Taste,& c. of Wine? |
| A26931 | Is your Garment to be called Cloth, or a Cloak? |
| A26931 | It I see it moved, is my sense deceived if I take it not for any other than a moving Image? |
| A26931 | It is a Miracle of these Miracles, that there should be as many Miracle workers as Priests in the world: How many thousand are they in France alone? |
| A26931 | It is but Whether any Infidels may be saved? |
| A26931 | It is one Question, What is the Christian Religion? |
| A26931 | It s non- sence if it have no accusative case that it respects? |
| A26931 | Lord increase our faith? |
| A26931 | May not we be Christians, and saved by the same Constitutive Causes which made men Christians, and saved them in the primitive Churches? |
| A26931 | Must I therefore forsake it all as false? |
| A26931 | Nay, à fortiore mark how you teach the Infidel to inferr? |
| A26931 | No nor that you have certainty which are the true Copies of them all? |
| A26931 | One Kingdom almost all Greek Christians and another Papists, and another Lutherans, and another Reformists,& c? |
| A26931 | Only all the question is, Whether it be indeed a sign of the mind and will of God or not? |
| A26931 | Or any that are no Christians? |
| A26931 | Or did they not know what their Fathers faith was? |
| A26931 | Or do you not perceive, that you have broken your promise with me, and brought a friend of darkness, who cometh purposely to hide the truth? |
| A26931 | Or doth not reverence the Judgement of the Wise?) |
| A26931 | Or is all Divine Revelation essential to it? |
| A26931 | Or is the Pope the Church? |
| A26931 | Or only the greater part? |
| A26931 | Or was it not the same Divine Religion which the first Church( whether Council or Practicers) received without the Tradition of Council or Practicers? |
| A26931 | Or whether the Sea ebb and flow, till you know the Causes of it? |
| A26931 | Or will you not rather take him to conquer, who hath the last word? |
| A26931 | Our question I tell you is Whether the Religion of the Protestants be Infallible? |
| A26931 | Our question is now whether our professed objective Faith be true and sufficient? |
| A26931 | P. And how do you prove all or any of these? |
| A26931 | P. But how can you think to please God and be saved, if you be not of the same faith as the Church hath alwayes been of? |
| A26931 | P. Do you think that our Divines knew not what they said, when they say that to believe without Evidence maketh faith meritorious? |
| A26931 | P. Gods Revelation is surer than our senses? |
| A26931 | P. Is it a safe Religion which you your self describe? |
| A26931 | P. V. If God should say to you[ Your senses are in this deceived; Here is no bread or wine or sensible substance] Would you not believe him? |
| A26931 | P. Why then do you call the thirty nine Articles the Articles of your Religion? |
| A26931 | Panem accepisse, fregisse; to have taken Bread, and having given thanks, to have broken? |
| A26931 | Queret an teneatur quispiam a ● internum Divinae fidei actum, quem nec semper fortasse in eius potestate situm novimus? |
| A26931 | R. And are not Greeks, Armenians, Syrians, Abassines and Protestants, all Christians as well as they? |
| A26931 | R. And do you not know that( though it arose not till about six hundred years after Christ) much more of the world is Mahometan than Christian? |
| A26931 | R. And what is it that such men would have to put them out of doubt? |
| A26931 | R. Are your Superiours that told you so, the Church? |
| A26931 | R. But Christ is the Saviour of his body: Are not those of the Church who are saved, or in a state of salvation? |
| A26931 | R. But are the Ethiopian Christians out of the Church? |
| A26931 | R. But do you not hold and say, that out of the Church there is no salvation? |
| A26931 | R. But what is the Vniversal Church whose Practice is made sufficient instead of, or without a General Council? |
| A26931 | R. Did you hear the Council say so? |
| A26931 | R. Do not your own Writers say, that a General Council and Pope may err in matter of fact? |
| A26931 | R. Do we need thus to ramble round about, as if we would doubt of the thing till we know the Causes of it? |
| A26931 | R. Do you mean the Pope without a General Council, or a General Council without the Pope? |
| A26931 | R. How know you that there is any word of God, but by your senses? |
| A26931 | R. How then do you make your Churches proposal to be the necessary point to be Explicitely believed of all? |
| A26931 | R. I need not repeat it: Do you not Agree with us in this? |
| A26931 | R. I pray you mark D. that he would perswade you that he knoweth my Religion better than I do my self? |
| A26931 | R. Is it by the Perception of sense that you deny it? |
| A26931 | R. Is it not a matter of fact, what this or that man said, and what doctrine the Church at such a time did teach and hold? |
| A26931 | R. Is it the Clergy only, or the Laity only; or must it be both? |
| A26931 | R. Must it be All the Church, without any excepted? |
| A26931 | R. Still what mean you by the Church? |
| A26931 | R. Was it an Article of faith before? |
| A26931 | R. Who is it that you now call the Church which tells you so? |
| A26931 | R. Why said your Author before, that Infidels were not formally out of the Church who are invincibly ignorant? |
| A26931 | Shall not he that was a Christian then, be saved if he were now alive? |
| A26931 | So if all our senses be false in this instance, how shall we know that they are ever true? |
| A26931 | So that the Controversie is, Whether it be any substance at all which by those accidents we perceive? |
| A26931 | Such awe and terror from the power of the Chief? |
| A26931 | Such cunning contrivances to get the majority of Votes? |
| A26931 | Suppose the question were, Whether it be water or not, which all mens senses see in Rivers? |
| A26931 | Symmachus,& c. when it is certain that in many things they were all unsound? |
| A26931 | Tell me else, if sense be false, how you know that there is a Man, or Pope, or Priest in the World? |
| A26931 | That which children receive, if it be not disagreeable to their sensible interest, how commonly and tenaciously do they follow? |
| A26931 | The Case which you told me you were in doubt of, and desired satisfaction in, was Which is the True and Safe Religion? |
| A26931 | The Pope is not the Church: And he may err in a matter of fact: What then is the Church that tells you certainly what the Council of Trent decreed? |
| A26931 | There are more Agreed for Mahomet( a gross upstart deceiver) than are agreed for Christ: And doth that make it certain that they are in the right? |
| A26931 | Upon these terms, what end will there be of any Controversie, or what evidence shall ever satisfie man? |
| A26931 | WHat is the Protestants Religion, and what the Papists? |
| A26931 | Was Agabus Prophesie of Paul, or Pauls of the event of the shipwrack,& c. essential to Christianity? |
| A26931 | Was Paul Crucified for you? |
| A26931 | Was it from the Church that the first Church received it? |
| A26931 | Was it then the Universal Church? |
| A26931 | Was not the Roman Empire, and Alexanders before that, far Greater than any Christian Prince hath now? |
| A26931 | Was this Pope then( or the Roman Church) Universal? |
| A26931 | We are not yet come to the question, Whether Christs Body and blood be here? |
| A26931 | We trusted that this had been he that should have delivered Israel? |
| A26931 | Were I to be believed? |
| A26931 | Were it ever the truer for that? |
| A26931 | Were they not all of the same mind the day before they did it? |
| A26931 | What Interest of their own did engage them to it? |
| A26931 | What can be plainer? |
| A26931 | What concord hath Christ with Belial — and what agreement hath the temple of God with Idols?] |
| A26931 | What could make all the Pastors of the Church think that this was the true faith, if they did not think it was the antient faith? |
| A26931 | What disgrace is it to a man that besides Head and Heart, he hath fingers, and toes, and nails and hair? |
| A26931 | What hold you of that? |
| A26931 | What hope of Concord with the Papists? |
| A26931 | What if I should pretend the like as to his Religion? |
| A26931 | What if we all agreed to say that there is no Bread in the Sacrament after Consecration? |
| A26931 | What is it that he brake? |
| A26931 | What is left to satisfie you, if you give so little credit to the common sense of all the world? |
| A26931 | What need you dispute of the Protestants Religion, if we have as many Religions as persons? |
| A26931 | What point of their Religion? |
| A26931 | What will you do to confute an adversary, but drive him to deny a certain principle? |
| A26931 | What would you have more plain and full? |
| A26931 | When Christ cometh will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done? |
| A26931 | When no man can be sure that he rightly understandeth all the Scriptures? |
| A26931 | Whence is it that the whole Empires and Kingdoms of Pagans are all of one mind; and the Kingdoms of Mahometans of another? |
| A26931 | Where doth God say it? |
| A26931 | Whether Papists have any more Infallibility than others? |
| A26931 | Whether it do so by the Protestants? |
| A26931 | Whether it have any Constitutive Vniversal Head or Monarch besides Christ? |
| A26931 | Whether men may be blamelesly ignorant of the Law of Nature and the Decalogue? |
| A26931 | Whether the falshood of one Article prove the Papists foundation false? |
| A26931 | Whether the same may be both in Heaven and on earth? |
| A26931 | Which is the True Rule of Faith, Will and Practice; that which is held to be such by the Protestants: or that which is held to be such by the Papists? |
| A26931 | Why call you Opinion faith? |
| A26931 | Why do not you your selves put the name of the Pope into your words of baptism? |
| A26931 | Why do you trouble the world thus with your noise about Believing the Proposals of your Church, if a man can not know whether he believe or not? |
| A26931 | Why should I expect that you should read what I shall write, if you will not read what''s written already? |
| A26931 | Why then do you reprobate them, and deny that which they decreed as of faith? |
| A26931 | Why then is not your argument here as good for Mahometanism as for Popery? |
| A26931 | Why then may not we know what is in them as well as you? |
| A26931 | Why then should their sense be called the sense of all the Christian world? |
| A26931 | Why then will not your argument hold against them as well as for them? |
| A26931 | Will you be deceived as oft as men can but agree to deceive you? |
| A26931 | Will you deny all your senses, and the senses of all the World, as oft as you can not answer him that denyeth them? |
| A26931 | Will you limit the power of the Almighty? |
| A26931 | Will you not believe that there is a Sun, till you know what it is made of? |
| A26931 | Will you save all the Anabaptists, that are baptized at age? |
| A26931 | Will you say that God can not make Quantity, quality, site,& c. without substance, because we can not? |
| A26931 | Would not this prove also as many Religions as persons among your selves? |
| A26931 | Would you have plainer words? |
| A26931 | Yea, sometimes fighting it out unto blood( as Dioscorus and Flavianus case doth shamefully evince?) |
| A26931 | [ What dost thou, O procacious Academick? |
| A26931 | and Sirmium, and divers at Constantinople disallowed, and those at Constance and Basil,( where were many times the number of the Council at Trent)? |
| A26931 | and a sect and faction, All the Church? |
| A26931 | and can such persons, and so many, be so mad and senseless? |
| A26931 | and do they not lay all their hopes of Heaven upon it? |
| A26931 | and not, Whence is their name? |
| A26931 | and such carnal dependances and respects to their several worldly interests? |
| A26931 | and that they did so in Condemning Pope Honorius and in other Cases? |
| A26931 | and when your believer is uncertain, even of Christianity it self? |

| A26931 | or can perfectly and infallibly translate each word? |
| A26931 | or only both agreeing and conjunct? |
| A26931 | or that Christianity is not a Religion which may be defined? |
| A26931 | or to whom Christ said, Why are ye afraid O ye of little faith? |
| A26931 | saith,[ Which of the Saints hath left us in Writing the words of invocation, when the Bread of the Eucharist, and the Cup of blessing are shewed?] |
| A26931 | that there is a Book or Voice, or any being? |
| A26931 | through faith in Jesus Christ? |
| A26931 | when it can not come into the Intellect but by the sense? |

| A26931 | when they have such shameful Contentions? |
| A26931 | when we see and they all confess that they deny all our senses? |
| A26931 | when you have no Divine Infallible Translators? |
| A26931 | ☞ This is the Grand difference between the Papists and all other Christians in the World, What the Catholick Church is? |
| A26962 | & c. If they were written in the beginning, where be the Books? |
| A26962 | ( And shall not Protestants forgive those that will not hear such, or as bad?) |
| A26962 | ( But is not the Cup of the substance, as truly as the Bread?) |
| A26962 | ( What of those that could not read, or that were condemned as Hereticks of Infidels?) |
| A26962 | ( or of the Pope?) |
| A26962 | 2. Who chargeth you of putting your Whole trust in Images? |
| A26962 | 28. expresly promise that he that believeth( according to Baptism, in the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost) shall be saved? |
| A26962 | 8. and Sixtus 5. reform the vulgar Latine by Memory or by Books? |
| A26962 | A Pope one year, and a Council another? |
| A26962 | After Nicolas the Fourth( saith he) there was no Pope for two years and a half( where was the Church then?) |
| A26962 | Alas poor ignorant Man, if you believe this your self? |
| A26962 | Alas, who shall bear the charge of the Conquest at the Antipodes, and who shall answer for all the Blood? |
| A26962 | An ignorant Woman set upon Christ, just as you pervert all holy discourse, with turning all to[ Which is the true Church?] |
| A26962 | And 2. what if now the major part of the Church should prefer the Bishop of Constantinople? |
| A26962 | And A. Bishop Usher, Bishop Hall, Bishop Davenant, and many more of late? |
| A26962 | And alas unfaithful Man, if you believe it not and yet dare say it? |
| A26962 | And answer what is there charged on you? |
| A26962 | And are not all these more than the Testimony of one Sect alone? |
| A26962 | And are not these Councils your very Religion? |
| A26962 | And can I believe in Christ, and not believe that there is a God that sent him? |
| A26962 | And can I believe this, and not believe that we are all sinners, and that sin deserveth that punishment which Christ came to save us from? |
| A26962 | And do not General Councils bring in Novelties? |
| A26962 | And do they not differ among themselves, as all in pieces about the Point? |
| A26962 | And do you not call these four Books the four Evangelists? |
| A26962 | And do you think you can love God better in the Fire of Purgatory Torments, than if he took you unto Christ in Paradise? |
| A26962 | And doth not Baptism enter us into the true Church of Christ? |
| A26962 | And doth not the Gospel contain and describe Christianity? |
| A26962 | And even as to Government, why did he never so much as send his Deputies to govern the Abassins for so many hundred years? |
| A26962 | And had Basil and Chrysostome, and all others that varyed, as divers Religions as Liturgies? |
| A26962 | And had he no Memory of them before he was Pope? |
| A26962 | And had the Universal Church then any one Head? |
| A26962 | And he knoweth which side his Bread is Buttered on? |
| A26962 | And here give me leave to repeat what I have oft written: What wonder is it at any Mans turning Papist? |
| A26962 | And here you may see, that when the Question is, Whether a Papist may be saved? |
| A26962 | And how I shall prove that they gave such a Testimony? |
| A26962 | And how lamentably ignorant they kept the People? |
| A26962 | And how large a Law is all the Bible, and all your Councils Decrees, and Oral Traditions, set together? |
| A26962 | And how must I believe that Christ hath given the Pope this Infallibility or Power? |
| A26962 | And how shall they be certain that they are of the right Church, when they are uncertain who is the Head whom they must be subjects to? |
| A26962 | And how small a part of the Universality of Christians are the Papists? |
| A26962 | And if I talk with any of my Neighbours and ask him what he believeth, have I any more than a single Doctors opinion? |
| A26962 | And if all the Decrees of Councils be as necessary to be the Symbol of Faith, why were they not all made up into a Creed? |
| A26962 | And if the greater part of Christians may so forsake the Apostolical Tradition, why may not the Pope of Rome and his Council? |
| A26962 | And if these Councils were not your Universal Church representative, where shall we think to find it? |
| A26962 | And is he not the Author of our Faith? |
| A26962 | And is not this all that you cry out against us for? |
| A26962 | And is not this way very suitable to the end? |
| A26962 | And is that a certain Proof that it is Apostolical? |
| A26962 | And must it be All of them, or but Part? |
| A26962 | And now is not here a Riddle hard enough to pose the wisest? |
| A26962 | And now let us see whether your way be better and surer than this of ours is? |
| A26962 | And of divers Pretenders which is he that hath the proofs of a true title? |
| A26962 | And shall they meet in a General Council of Kings to chuse one? |
| A26962 | And the Question will recur, How I shall know them to be Infallible? |
| A26962 | And then how can there be a Bishop of Rome, when there is no Rome? |
| A26962 | And there I have desired you to tell us, whether your Grandfather, or his Priest, was Infallible? |
| A26962 | And was it then as hard a matter as you make it, to know what Faith was necessary to Baptism,( in the Person at age, or the Parent of Infants?) |
| A26962 | And were not the Disciples called Christians shortly after, as words of the same signification? |
| A26962 | And what came the Church to when it had such Heads? |
| A26962 | And what if these bid Subjects kill their Kings, would it not be sinless and meritorious by this Rule? |
| A26962 | And what or who is that Accepting Church? |
| A26962 | And what? |
| A26962 | And where was their uninterrupted Succession all this time? |
| A26962 | And who can tell what other mens capacities and opportunities have been? |
| A26962 | And who hath the Power of Electing? |
| A26962 | And who is it that hath that ordaining Authority? |
| A26962 | And who knoweth what they are? |
| A26962 | And who or what is this Real Church, that must be first known to be thus impowered and infallible: Is it some few, or many, or must it be the most? |
| A26962 | And who they were that were those Infallible Witnesses? |
| A26962 | And who would then believe you, if you said,[ But the Unwritten Word it can not alter?] |
| A26962 | And why do you dishonour your own Relations so, as to make so bad a Description of them? |
| A26962 | And why do you not cause the Baptized to recite and profess all these Councils Decrees, but only the old Christian Creed? |
| A26962 | And will you say then, that he that believeth Explicitely the whole Bible can not be saved without believing also your pretended Traditions? |
| A26962 | And you knew how hard it is to disprove you: For who shall judge what is the opinion of the Vulgar? |
| A26962 | And you mistake the Puritans, if you think they are not for this Government: Why else take they the Oath of Supremacy? |
| A26962 | Are they in the Memory of the Pope only? |
| A26962 | Are they not such as other Christians can read and understand as well as you,( or an illiterate Pope?) |
| A26962 | Are they such as have no Love to God as God, no delight in Holiness, no Heavenly Minds? |
| A26962 | Are you more impartial in your search? |
| A26962 | As if your Servant should instead of his work play at Cards most of the day, and ask you[ How you prove it unlawful?] |
| A26962 | At least he would preserve some of his Friends in health and immortality on Earth? |
| A26962 | Be not General Councils themselves approved or reprobated at the pleasure of the Pope? |
| A26962 | Believe that which I never once thought of? |
| A26962 | But are they not certain Novelties that you would impose on us under the colour of Antiquity? |
| A26962 | But because you shall find us reasonable, we will tell you, that we consent to General Councils where the Pope consenteth not? |
| A26962 | But can you think, Sir, in good earnest, that Popery tendeth more to fill Men with the Love of God, than our simple Christianity doth? |
| A26962 | But do you not here and in your former description quite contradict your self, when you charge them as neglecting inherent righteousness? |
| A26962 | But if it be in other Mens Memories that your unwritten Traditions are kept, in whose is it? |
| A26962 | But if most did not favour them, how did they ascend to so great power? |
| A26962 | But is this Monarch the Head in Civil Government, or only in Ecclesiastick? |
| A26962 | But must your Pope be obeyed as Supreme but in the Vacancy of General Councils? |
| A26962 | But still you tell us what great things your new Religion doth consist of, and what great cause you had to turn from the Puritans to the Papists? |
| A26962 | But the best is, it is at the Pope''s will, whether ever there shall be a General Council more? |
| A26962 | But the insuperable difficulty is, How must I believe that the Pope hath this Infallibility? |
| A26962 | But this is but Implicite Faith? |
| A26962 | But were you bred among Puritans, and yet talk so ignoranly and falsly? |
| A26962 | But what if it was so with you, will that allow you to belie so many others? |
| A26962 | But what is commonly necessary your Learned Church- men can not tell us, no not the Pope or Councils? |
| A26962 | But what place is there for any doubt, when Christ himself did institute Baptism, and describe it? |
| A26962 | But what were the Popes doing all this while? |
| A26962 | But who can give one definition, or the same marks of men that are really of so many minds? |
| A26962 | But who was it that put in that into the Charge? |
| A26962 | But why should you take the Word in so narrow a sense? |
| A26962 | But will this serve the turn to salvation, to believe that the Pope and his Council are Infallible? |
| A26962 | But would you have any one past seven years old believe you, that writing is of no more use to Memory for conservation of Antiquities? |
| A26962 | But you have Conversed with more of them than I have done? |
| A26962 | But you''ll say, that if he dwell at Avignion, he may be called Bishop of Rome? |
| A26962 | But, Sir, if the Pope be S. Peter''s Successor, is not his Apostolick office as Universal as his Monarchy or Ruling office? |
| A26962 | By any written word which granteth it? |
| A26962 | By whom? |
| A26962 | Can he take the Votes of all the Christian World? |
| A26962 | Can we believe in Christ, and not believe that he is God and Man, that he dyed, rose, and ascended into Heaven, and will judge us at last? |
| A26962 | Can you decide the Controversies about the Decretals, published by Isidore Mercator, by Tradition? |
| A26962 | Could Pope Eugenius ever forgive the Universal Church, as it''s called, that is, the great General Council which in vain condemned and deposed him? |
| A26962 | Could the Bible have been kept as well in Memory as by Writings? |
| A26962 | Could you love God better in this Life, if he tormented you in the Fire, than if he give you comfort by his mercies? |
| A26962 | Could you think that a Man could be saved without Love and good works? |
| A26962 | Dare you preach this at Rome? |
| A26962 | Dare your Church say that every word revealed must be believed Explicitely of necessity to Salvation? |
| A26962 | Did Possevine, and Sixtus Senensis, and such others, Correct Books by Oral Tradition, or by Books? |
| A26962 | Did all that the Apostles Baptized, believe all the Apocrypha and all the Decrees of your Councils, and your Oral Traditions? |
| A26962 | Did he not preach the Gospel? |
| A26962 | Did not Christ oft tell us what it is to be his Disciples? |
| A26962 | Did not those four Men write Christ''s Doctrine as well as his Life? |
| A26962 | Did the ancient Fathers and Catechists teach all those to the Catechumens before they Baptized them? |
| A26962 | Do Mass- books, and your daily Masses, all deceive our Eyes and Ears? |
| A26962 | Do all your Priests themselves, or one of an hundred, understand them all, or know what they are? |
| A26962 | Do not Bellarmine, Costerus, and many of your Writers profess that the Scriptures contain all things ordinarily necessary to Salvation? |
| A26962 | Do not the Fathers as much agree that Peter was first Bishop of Antioch? |
| A26962 | Do not your unlearned Multitude join in your Latine Prayers? |
| A26962 | Do they go thither for a new miraculous Revelation of an old Tradition left with the whole Church? |
| A26962 | Do variety of Liturgies make various Religions? |
| A26962 | Do you go to Tradition, or to Books, to decide any Controversie now of the various readings? |
| A26962 | Do you know of any one Nonconformist that hath published any dissent to what I have written? |
| A26962 | Do you know what men Bishop Jewel, A. Bishop Grindall, and many more of old were? |
| A26962 | Do you not confess that all other Churches may erre besides the Roman? |
| A26962 | Do you not consider what power the Clergie had every where got with the People? |
| A26962 | Do you yet know no difference between the orbis Romanus, and the orbis universalis? |
| A26962 | Doth every Papist Neighbour carry them all in his brain, more certainly than in Books? |
| A26962 | Doth not this deserve a Fagot with you? |
| A26962 | Even holy Augustine saith[ Drunkenness is a mortal sin, si sit assidua, if it be daily or constant;( what, not else?) |
| A26962 | Even then, when you blame others as dealing so by the Papists? |
| A26962 | For alas, how can all or any in the world know what is necessary to make a Pope? |
| A26962 | From Christ, or otherwise? |
| A26962 | God saith, Judge not, that ye be not judged; and who art thou that judgest another mans Servant? |
| A26962 | Have we a Catholick Church with two Heads? |
| A26962 | Have you as full notice now of the Acts of James, John, Matthew, Thomas, Bartholomew,& c. without Book, as you have of Paul''s by the Book? |
| A26962 | Have your Oral superadded Traditions more Evidence of Truth than the Bible, or more Evidence of Necessity to be believed? |
| A26962 | How can any man say that Nations and Countries are to be rejected as Hereticks, unless the single persons guilty were tryed and heard? |
| A26962 | How can you tell then by the name of a Puritane, what to charge any single Person with? |
| A26962 | How else did you quiet your Conscience in such a state of Hypocrisie? |
| A26962 | How fast is yours? |
| A26962 | How loose is ours? |
| A26962 | How many hundred Priests must this Parish have, if all should thus confess all sins of Commission and Omission? |
| A26962 | How much happier were they when they never heard of his Name? |
| A26962 | How must men become Papists? |
| A26962 | How ordinarily doth Cajetan, and others of yours, reject( deservedly) the Expositions of Fathers? |
| A26962 | How prove you that the Heathens ordinarily did so? |
| A26962 | How shall every poor man( or any man) know which is the judgment of the major part? |
| A26962 | How shall we be sure of their exemption from such danger? |
| A26962 | How shall we ever know it? |
| A26962 | How then come the Councils of Constance and Basil for such Doctrine to be unapproved or reprobate Councils? |
| A26962 | I had hoped there had been few such left in England: Even Crisp and Saltmarsh, were scarce so erroneous: And were you such a one? |
| A26962 | I rather think the Calumny is, that[ his mind and heart may be wholly taken up with worldly desires?] |
| A26962 | I told you your memory faileth you: Why did you before then describe the Puritan as so well qualified within, and desiring after more? |
| A26962 | If Aquila or Priscilla Converted a Sinner, such a one saved a Soul from Death, though Peter did it not; nor his Authority was known to such a one? |
| A26962 | If Fathers and Sons could keep them unwritten in memory a thousand years, why not 1100, and why not 1600? |
| A26962 | If Implicitely, that is, Virtually as it is in some General Proposition, what is that General? |
| A26962 | If Not, Then I must believe the Infallibility of other Hearers of the Apostles, before I can believe the Pope''s? |
| A26962 | If any of these ways are valid; then six men or five may be chosen at once by the several ways: And where is the proof? |
| A26962 | If by Oral Tradition, whose must that be? |
| A26962 | If by the written Word, then I must believe that that Word is true, before I can believe that the Pope is made Pope or Infallible by it? |
| A26962 | If every General Council add new Articles( or many) quoad nos, who knoweth when they will have done? |
| A26962 | If from Christ, can I believe that the Pope hath Power from Christ, before I believe that there is a Christ, that hath such Power to give? |
| A26962 | If it have more Evidence of Necessity, what is it? |
| A26962 | If it must be Part, how shall we ever know which part it must be? |
| A26962 | If not from Christ, tell me which way, and why I must believe it? |
| A26962 | If not, do you not delude your Relations, by drawing them to build their Faith on a fallible man, or upon nothing? |
| A26962 | If not, where are they kept? |
| A26962 | If not, why may not you prove as ill Keepers of it as they? |
| A26962 | If one way only be valid, the rest were invalid: And how shall we prove which? |
| A26962 | If so, must it be Word or Writing? |
| A26962 | If so, why was not the Popes Name, rather than Christs, put into Baptism and the Creed, or at least with Christs? |
| A26962 | If some Bishops ordain one, and some another, and so twenty( as they long did divers in many years Schism) which of these is the true Pope? |
| A26962 | If the Place prove not the Succession, tell us, if you can, what doth? |
| A26962 | If the major or the melior, how shall it be ever tryed and known in a division? |
| A26962 | If then you have no more to shew than they, where is your Title? |
| A26962 | If there be a necessity of having them in writing now, was there not the same necessity to former Ages? |
| A26962 | If we dispute with a Papist, and cite the Scriptures, they ask us presently, who shall be Judge of the meaning of them? |
| A26962 | If yea, how, came he by it more than all those Churches? |
| A26962 | If you ask me, how could he blind Men so far as to make such a change? |
| A26962 | If you say, Yea; Then will you call this Christianity, to believe in the Pope, and not in Christ? |
| A26962 | Is any of their Books or Traditions elder than the holy Scripture? |
| A26962 | Is his Answer, the Faith of your Church? |
| A26962 | Is it not a Novelty for the publick Prayers of the Church to be ordinarily made in a Tongue not understood by the generality of the People? |
| A26962 | Is it not a meer deceiving trick to word your own Accusations so in the Protestants name, as you know you can easilyest plead, Not Guilty? |
| A26962 | Is it not strange that so many Doctors in so many Ages, all remembring them, would none of them ever write them down? |
| A26962 | Is it that All that God revealeth is true? |
| A26962 | Is it that the Church is the Ministerial Keeper of the Sacred Doctrine as delivered? |
| A26962 | Is it that we have not read the Papists writings? |
| A26962 | Is it the Election? |
| A26962 | Is it your Objective or your Subjective Faith that we are disputing of? |
| A26962 | Is memory sufficient to have preserved to us the Statures of the Land, without Books and Records? |
| A26962 | Is not Popery a Religion of Bondage and Servitude, consisting mainly in Terrour, and its superstitious effects? |
| A26962 | Is not a truly baptized Person a Christian? |
| A26962 | Is not our Saviour, and our Sin and Misery relatives? |
| A26962 | Is not part of it too much? |
| A26962 | Is not that a point of your Faith which the General Councils affirm? |
| A26962 | Is not this Heresie, or worse, with you? |
| A26962 | Is not this the difference? |
| A26962 | Is the Pope Universal Apostle or Teacher? |
| A26962 | Is their Tradition yet written in any of their own Books, or not? |
| A26962 | Is this to believe a thousand things which a man never knew or heard of? |
| A26962 | Is this your common Judgment? |
| A26962 | It is not because it is a Divine Revelation: For so you confess all the Bible to be? |
| A26962 | It''s like you have: But is that the reason of my mistake? |
| A26962 | Martyr and the rest that turned from you, know them? |
| A26962 | May I say therefore that this is other mens belief? |
| A26962 | May not one alter some one word in every Verse of any Chapter in the Bible, and then protest, that not one of all those Verses is in the Bible? |
| A26962 | May not one of your Priests lye as well as all the Greek, Abassine,& c. Churches? |
| A26962 | Nay why may we not expect that you lay by your Book Catechisms, your Office Books, your Controversie Books, and teach your People all without Book? |
| A26962 | Nor any of his Apostles have left it us on Record? |
| A26962 | Now could not Grotius easily have produced such Papists as these, as having said as gross things as you recite? |
| A26962 | Or did they suddenly forget them all when they turned Protestants? |
| A26962 | Or do not your Doctors, without any Decree of the Church, use to debate it as a free opinion? |
| A26962 | Or do you mean, that men may be saved without Christianity, but not without Popery? |
| A26962 | Or how must he be chosen? |
| A26962 | Or is all left uncertain because it is written? |
| A26962 | Or is it that the Church de eventu shall never corrupt, alter, or lose, this word, or any part of it? |
| A26962 | Or shall they fight it out, till one have Conquered all the rest? |
| A26962 | Or that they took Jupiter,& c. to be nothing but the Image, and not a Coelestial Power? |
| A26962 | Or who must be he? |
| A26962 | Perhaps you will pretend for it the Doctrine of Justification by Faith alone? |
| A26962 | Reader, doth not this tell you whence much of our late Atheism and Infidelity cometh, and what it tendeth to? |
| A26962 | S. Augustine was one that subscribed the foresaid Letter: and were such Men like to be seduced by Aurelius? |
| A26962 | So if the Printer have some Errata in each Leaf of your Book, may you not protest that not one Leaf of it is yours? |
| A26962 | So that no man can be a Believer that is not first certain of the Papists Miracles( and how can millions know them, when they see them not? |
| A26962 | Some will say, we see the Madness of this Popery, but how then do you say that the faith must be received, if not from the Church? |
| A26962 | Sure all this is past dispute; where then is the difficulty? |
| A26962 | That( as in the Japan persecution of the Christians) all the neighbour- hood must be Sworn to detect them? |
| A26962 | The truth is, saith Brierwood, Divide the known World( and alas how much is unknown?) |
| A26962 | Their Altars have lighted Tapers on: Do you not deserve to be burnt your selves, if you will not burn Candles on your Altars? |
| A26962 | These we all agree in, if this will serve the turn? |
| A26962 | Those Lay men that were put in full possession unordained were no Popes; and where then is the Succession? |
| A26962 | To what impudence will interest and faction carry men? |
| A26962 | Unless the unhappy man can forgive all others, and not himself? |
| A26962 | Was not Isidore Pelusiota a Father? |
| A26962 | Was not he much overseen, or did grosly prevaricate, that drew up this Charge? |
| A26962 | Was the Athenian Philosophy propagated and preserved better by Memory, or by Books? |
| A26962 | We confess our Faith is not so big as yours? |
| A26962 | Were you deluded by such Antinomian conceits as you describe, and took that for Puritanisme? |
| A26962 | What Foundation, but the words of your Priest or Grandfather, have you for your assurance? |
| A26962 | What Infallible wight then is it that we must first believe the Pope to be, before we believe him to be Pope? |
| A26962 | What a Sot was he to think that any Pope would ever be sick, or sore, or dye, if he could forgive all temporal punishment? |
| A26962 | What a multitude of Writers have better cited your practice and confuted it? |
| A26962 | What a number of reprobated Councils were there? |
| A26962 | What an advantage possession and St. Peters name were? |
| A26962 | What are all your Libraries for at the Vatican, Florence, Paris, and in each Learned Mans House, if Books be so useless and unintelligible? |
| A26962 | What are most of your Tasks of Pilgrimages, Penances, and abundance such, but the effects of servile fear? |
| A26962 | What is a Man but his Wit? |
| A26962 | What is it that is your advantage, and what is our disadvantage? |
| A26962 | What was the Creed, the Symbolum fidei used for, if not to distinguish the Faith of the Christian Church from Infidelity, Heresie, and all without? |
| A26962 | What wonder is it that you that were no better a Puritan than you describe, are turned Papist? |
| A26962 | When Pope Coelestine himself falsly urged the Nicene Council for Appeals to Rome, contrary to Augustine and the Carthage Council? |
| A26962 | Where then was the Papacy under such? |
| A26962 | Where was this Tradition kept before, that was so hard a Controversie till now? |
| A26962 | Whether Pastors only, or the People? |
| A26962 | Whether of some one Church, or of all the Churches? |
| A26962 | Whether the Papists Religion be better than ours, as bigger? |
| A26962 | Whether the Pope be Head but in the Vacancy of Councils? |
| A26962 | Whether you will take all these into the Essentials of Christianity, or not? |
| A26962 | Which way do they think that they came by it? |
| A26962 | Who are those men that have the Power of chusing S. Peter a Successor? |
| A26962 | Who can tell then what is your Faith? |
| A26962 | Who did bewitch you so grosly to contradict the whole Tenour of the Gospel? |
| A26962 | Why are all your Councils written? |
| A26962 | Why do you write to your own Relations, if writing be so un- intelligible? |
| A26962 | Why is it not so then with all the rest, the Abassines, the Armenians,& c. and the Majority of Christians? |
| A26962 | Why is not the Stoicks, and Epicureans, and others, as fully known now as Aristotles and Plato''s, if Memory without Books could have done? |
| A26962 | Why is your One Church no more One in answering this Question? |
| A26962 | Why then are we devoted in Baptism to the Holy Ghost? |
| A26962 | Why then do you deny them this, and make them to be as out of the true Church and state of Life? |
| A26962 | Why were the Gospels written then? |
| A26962 | Why would you by temerity go about to deceive your Relations, and other Readers, by talking to them against that which you did not understand? |
| A26962 | Would so necessary a Fundamental of Faith have been so much silenced? |
| A26962 | Yea many Writers, that the Creed hath all that is absolutely to be believed? |
| A26962 | Yea some, that it hath more than all? |
| A26962 | Yea, one that saith he was a Puritan, and an University Student? |
| A26962 | Yea, or the Common- Law without any Records or Book Cases? |
| A26962 | Yea, that it was six hundred years and more before the Churches in one Empire used all one and the same Liturgy? |
| A26962 | You Instance[ If he commit Fornication it is but a Venial Sin] Do You hold that any of your approved Councils have defined it to be a Mortal Sin? |
| A26962 | You tell us over and over of our receiving this and that from our Fathers and Grand- Fathers? |
| A26962 | You that profess you were a Puritan, must needs be judged to tell us what a one you were your self, when you tell us what they are? |
| A26962 | Your Relations were not at the Council of Trent, or Florence, or Laterane: How shall they be sure what the Pope and Council agreed on? |
| A26962 | [ I pray you what room hath the Catholick Church now in the habitable World?] |
| A26962 | a Sancta Clara on our Articles hold that the Particular Belief of Christ himself, or the supernatural Articles of the Creed are not of necessity? |
| A26962 | a Sancta Clara) that the Belief in Christ is not necessary to all? |
| A26962 | and Whether a Papist be a Heretick? |
| A26962 | and all the Decretals? |
| A26962 | and for some hundred years, that every Church used what the Bishop pleased? |
| A26962 | and it is He and his Pleasers that refuse the most General Councils and Tradition? |
| A26962 | and it was Decreed to be so used by all? |
| A26962 | and so many written by those before and after him, to prove the Gospel, and none of them hit on this Method, nor write at large to make it good? |
| A26962 | and so whether he be a Believer indeed, or not? |
| A26962 | and that he pardoneth sin, reneweth Souls by his Spirit, and will give us life hereafter? |
| A26962 | and that none can be saved but Saints? |
| A26962 | and the ancient Fathers commonly, made it a Tradition, and Practice of the whole Church? |
| A26962 | and whether the man had all these? |
| A26962 | and whether we have yet half the Christian Faith, or not? |
| A26962 | and who can have the comfort of an unknown Religion? |
| A26962 | and why is the Creed differenced from them all to this day? |
| A26962 | as a Physician, or Medicine and a Disease? |
| A26962 | as if they held no Holiness necessary but Imputative? |
| A26962 | at least of your Religion? |
| A26962 | but if Gods anger remain on us, what help can the pride of the West bring us? |
| A26962 | if he do but believe the Infallibility of your Church? |
| A26962 | must all be desirous to understand it, if they can not? |
| A26962 | no more Righteousness, Peace, and Joy in the Holy Ghost? |
| A26962 | nothing almost but fear and its effects? |
| A26962 | one of the Fathers? |
| A26962 | or because such a name as Johannes Persidis is found at Nice? |
| A26962 | or bound to be so? |
| A26962 | or by Oral Tradition? |
| A26962 | or how shall Christians be known to others, or themselves? |
| A26962 | or is it all? |
| A26962 | or pass any Sentence of Deposition, or Suspension against them? |
| A26962 | or put any other into their places? |
| A26962 | should we never have found one word for this speedy way of decision, to appeal to the Church of Rome? |
| A26962 | so much complained of in his time:) and then think you justifie all, if you can say, How prove you this or that unlawful? |
| A26962 | that are pervices the Vicars of Christ? |
| A26962 | though the same Person believe not in God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, nor any of the Articles of his Creed, no not a Life to come? |
| A26962 | was it not your self? |
| A26962 | what Election? |
| A26962 | what Ordination? |
| A26962 | what Qualification? |
| A26962 | would he never have told the Church of Rome of their Mistris- ship and Infallibility above the rest? |
| A26871 | ( Truly or falsly) and think by that to make them odious? |
| A26871 | 1 Are those men lovers of Love and Concord who purposely make use of pardoned acts to keep the Kingdoms wounds still open? |
| A26871 | 16. whom meaneth he? |
| A26871 | 24 What harm doth Godliness and Conscience do you in other men? |
| A26871 | 32, 33, 35. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect? |
| A26871 | 36. be our case, to eat our own Flesh, and be drunken with our own Blood as with sweet Wine? |
| A26871 | 38. Who do you think it is that Christ meaneth, when he saith, I send you as Lambs among Wolves? |
| A26871 | Alas how great, and how uncureable? |
| A26871 | Alas, Lord, why must the Churches be left in such hands? |
| A26871 | And Hatred tends to Hurtfulness: What plotting and labouring is there in the world, to ruine and destroy each other? |
| A26871 | And are not the greater number of European Bishops known Papists? |
| A26871 | And are not you such Separatists from all the world, saving the Assembly where you meet? |
| A26871 | And are the Protestant Reformed Churches free from fleshly, worldly, wicked men? |
| A26871 | And are these such good and pleasant fruits as should entice us to change our master, work and hopes, for this, and worse that followeth it? |
| A26871 | And are they all in the right? |
| A26871 | And are they odious corrupters of Religion, who omit no part of Religion, but only humane indifferent things? |
| A26871 | And are those Separatists from your Church, who only separate from that which is no part of your Church or Worship? |
| A26871 | And at the same time hate Purity and Holiness? |
| A26871 | And can we have a higher, purer pattern? |
| A26871 | And can you reconcile all this to our Oath of Supremacy, and the Canons that establish it, renouncing all forreign Iurisdiction? |
| A26871 | And can you think that he loveth you, or that his Service against God is better than Gods; or his reward better? |
| A26871 | And can you wonder here if men fluctuate in uncertainty? |
| A26871 | And did not the present Nonconformists shew the same judgment 1660 and 1661 in their treaty? |
| A26871 | And did the Apostles offer God so odious a worship as deserved hatred and destruction? |
| A26871 | And do not many come to your assemblies? |
| A26871 | And do sinners need to be blamed for obedience? |
| A26871 | And do they not by this confute their own accusations? |
| A26871 | And do those that you accuse do more for their Salvation? |
| A26871 | And do you at once accuse them as sinners and hate them for obeying God, and sinning no more? |
| A26871 | And do you hate men for being such as you have vowed to be your selves? |
| A26871 | And do you not see in Print what Mr. Tombes the Anabaptist wrote long ago to perswade his followers to your communion? |
| A26871 | And do you think he will justifie his Enemies, that hated, accused and condemned his Servants? |
| A26871 | And do you think it is the love of Money, and Lust, and Sport, or Gluttony, or Drunkenness that is his Image? |
| A26871 | And do you think such actors are an honour to your cause? |
| A26871 | And do you think to baffle him? |
| A26871 | And doth not this shew what men we have to do with; and that it is somewhat else than non- conformity which such men hate? |
| A26871 | And had not you your Ministerial power from it? |
| A26871 | And hath Christ left Religion so uncertain a thing? |
| A26871 | And have you heard it proved? |
| A26871 | And he that knows it knows that it Sentences all such to Jail if they be seen in your Churches? |
| A26871 | And how far must this go? |
| A26871 | And how is that? |
| A26871 | And how shall any know where it is, unless he try and judge his Rulers Commands by the Laws of God? |
| A26871 | And how shall we know that the major part of the Clergy are the best and soundest, when we see that the major part of the Laity is usually the worst? |
| A26871 | And how the French Massacre and Murders of Kings, and the horrid Inquisition set all our Parliaments against you? |
| A26871 | And how the Murder of 200000 in Ireland drove many thousands into the Parliaments Army that else would not have gone? |
| A26871 | And if England may not suffer such, why should any other nation suffer them? |
| A26871 | And if God command it, and you condemn it, do you not condemn God? |
| A26871 | And if so, is it not God whom you accuse and reproach? |
| A26871 | And if the rest of the Christian world be not bound by them( in Greece, Ethiopia, Armenia, Syria,& c.) Why are we? |
| A26871 | And if they are as wicked as you say, why do you not prosecute them for such wickedness? |
| A26871 | And if this be it, and this it which you hate, are you not haters of God? |
| A26871 | And if you hate or oppose that holy obedience to God which you profess, after all this, what must be the portion of such hypocrites? |
| A26871 | And if you need no such reproof or stop, why should you think others need it? |
| A26871 | And if your infancy here begin with such destructive zeal, what will you do when you are at full growth? |
| A26871 | And is God so easily deposed? |
| A26871 | And is it consistent with reasonable modesty to go about to make the World believe that the Protestant Doctrine is less loyal than yours? |
| A26871 | And is it honourable openly to serve the Devil? |
| A26871 | And is it now any wonder that the people say as they are taught? |
| A26871 | And is not he the absolute Soveraign? |
| A26871 | And is not that to be devilish and hated by God? |
| A26871 | And is there no hope of prevailing with English men to live together in peace? |
| A26871 | And it were an addition to the health and welfare of the one, which is gotten by Conquest from the other? |
| A26871 | And must the world have one Soveraignty to make Laws for them? |
| A26871 | And must there be as many Religions as Kings and Laws will make? |
| A26871 | And rejoyce to be Christ Servants for their defence continually: And is it not Devils then and their Servants and Souldiers that are against them? |
| A26871 | And shall the strict obeying of Gods known Laws render men odious among professed Protestants? |
| A26871 | And shall they after this be called Separatists for not coming in? |
| A26871 | And shall thousands suffer for other mens deeds? |
| A26871 | And shall we trust that you can answer for us, or save us? |
| A26871 | And so we must be as bad as they? |
| A26871 | And so whether all the Corporations of England are free from — And for what it is that God hath singled them out for Judgment? |
| A26871 | And that the people should not suffer a Heretick to reign? |
| A26871 | And to ease the pain which we must undergo? |
| A26871 | And to think how openly you serve the Devil, and do his work? |
| A26871 | And what Mr. Nye wrote to perswade the Independants to come to your Churches? |
| A26871 | And what horrid cruelty is this? |
| A26871 | And what is it that you offer us instead of all that we must part with? |
| A26871 | And what is the subject of our( formerly weekly and now daily) News Books? |
| A26871 | And what is there amiss in the Word or Work of God, and in a serious godly life, that should make us be against it? |
| A26871 | And what man in his wits knoweth not that Prelates and Priests are much at the will and power of the Princes under whom they live? |
| A26871 | And what shift will you make at home to quiet Conscience in your selves? |
| A26871 | And what though the Subjects of Forreign Power fear no Violence, are all the rest( that is, the Protestants) of the Kingdom inconsiderable? |
| A26871 | And what would you have more? |
| A26871 | And when so few of you ever so much as worship God in your Families, by Prayer, or read the Scripture, or Catechise your families? |
| A26871 | And where must we stop? |
| A26871 | And whether I am not bound in charity to think that the sequestred Royalists put a good sence on it, when they took it? |
| A26871 | And who continueth them, and for what? |
| A26871 | And who or what are you that would reason, mock or affright us from a life of obedience to God? |
| A26871 | And who shall be our Rule, if we forsake God and his Word? |
| A26871 | And why are those charged with them that never were so accused and proved guilty? |
| A26871 | And will any thing that you can give us, be better than Heaven to us? |
| A26871 | And will he give up his Scepter to a scorner, a drunkard, or a persecutor? |
| A26871 | And will men worship God any better among Heathens or Infidels, or others? |
| A26871 | And will they not then be the Major Vote? |
| A26871 | And will you be revenged for this on such Protestants that medled not in it? |
| A26871 | And will you yet stir up all the Land to fear and hate you? |
| A26871 | And would they not all that are Ministers Preach there if they could have leave? |
| A26871 | And yet do you accuse them, and hate them most for not sinning? |
| A26871 | And yet is there any Enmity or Disagreement? |
| A26871 | And you your selves keep holy days for many Saints: And will you at the same time hate and hurt those that endeavour to imitate them? |
| A26871 | And, is such a blasphemer meet for humane Society, who will accuse his Maker? |
| A26871 | Are all the Wars of Italy, Germany,& c. against Princes and Emperors, for the Pope, forgotten? |
| A26871 | Are any hurt by this? |
| A26871 | Are not things indifferent variable as Countreys and Ages are? |
| A26871 | Are not your foresaid Council Canons which are your Religion, visible? |
| A26871 | Are there any two in the whole world, that are not ignorant, and that differ not about many greater matters than things indifferent? |
| A26871 | Are there no unfaithful and unskilful Ministers? |
| A26871 | Are they wiser men than they that have made us another rule or worship? |
| A26871 | Are you greater than God, and more to be feared? |
| A26871 | Are you more merciful than God, and would save us from some hurt that he would do us? |
| A26871 | Are you not your selves in your baptism Vowed and Devoted to God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, renouncing the world, the Flesh and the Devil? |
| A26871 | Are you sure you can make God believe you, that these men are as bad as you affirm? |
| A26871 | Are you sure you can overcome him? |
| A26871 | Are you truer than God, and more to be believed? |
| A26871 | Are you wiser than God, and dare you give him the lie, that we should believe you before him? |
| A26871 | Are your wills and lusts and appetites a better law? |
| A26871 | As if it were the interest of the nobler and the Servile parts to weaken or destroy each other? |
| A26871 | As many as will live godly in Christ Iesus shall suffer Persecution,& c. Who do you think all this is spoken of? |
| A26871 | As to your Church communion, can you blind mens eyes, that they shall not read, what the old Nonconformists have written to perswade men to it? |
| A26871 | But again, do you believe that most, or all that you keep in, are wiser and more knowing than those that you cast out? |
| A26871 | But are not they for Monarchy in the state? |
| A26871 | But by whom did they die? |
| A26871 | But how few men are alive that had any hand in those miserable Wars? |
| A26871 | But if they are such an absolutely necessary rule as you pretend, why do not teachers preach them to us daily as they do the Sacred Scriptures? |
| A26871 | But if this be the true cause why do you cull out those that have least sin to fasten your accusations of sin upon? |
| A26871 | But the Question is, Whether they may not be thus brought to concord by consent? |
| A26871 | But they are Schismaticks, and Separate from the Church; and is not that a damnable sin? |
| A26871 | But what need they make such a stir with their Religion: What need they any more than go to Church and live obediently and be quiet? |
| A26871 | But what''s all this to the poor Priests? |
| A26871 | But what''s this to Councils when there are none? |
| A26871 | But who is it that they separate from? |
| A26871 | But why did not the people do so all this while? |
| A26871 | Can a man believe a thing to be a wicked errour meerly because the Canon saith so? |
| A26871 | Can he not answer you? |
| A26871 | Can not we have Life, Liberty, Peace and Love without things indifferent? |
| A26871 | Can we return him more than his due? |
| A26871 | Can you do none of this, and yet will you venture a War against God? |
| A26871 | Christ came into the world to die for sin, to shew Gods hatred of it: And would you have us wilfully to commit it, and to despise his Blood? |
| A26871 | Dare any man of Self- knowledge and Conscience say, that all your Worship is not more faulty, than is the omission of a Form or Ceremony? |
| A26871 | Dare any man that believeth there is a God, say, that man can Love him too much? |
| A26871 | Did Christ take Mans Nature, and die to save them, and will he now turn on Satans side against them? |
| A26871 | Did the Apostles or first Churches banish any on such accounts? |
| A26871 | Did the Holy- Ghost by them write an infallible Rule for all things necessary in Religion? |
| A26871 | Did they worship God in an odious, intolerable manner? |
| A26871 | Do not all Churches require obedience to their Orders? |
| A26871 | Do not the Imposers say that all which they add is no part of Religion, but things indifferent? |
| A26871 | Do they forsake the Assemblies before they are excommunicated? |
| A26871 | Do they not profess Union and Communion with the whole Catholick Church on Earth? |
| A26871 | Do you call them the things Indifferent, and then call it a wicked errour to hold them sinful? |
| A26871 | Do you call them to Church and reproach them for not coming, and seek to ruin them for it, and now accuse them for coming? |
| A26871 | Do you do all this without any purpose or hope to drive them to conformity? |
| A26871 | Do you know all the persons whom you accuse? |
| A26871 | Do you know any that doth Gods will better than it''s done in Heaven? |
| A26871 | Do you lay men in Jail by it, and yet think it must be unknown? |
| A26871 | Do you not in your daily hypocritical devotions condemn your selves by your own tongues? |
| A26871 | Do you not know that Nature is vitiated by sin, and Man is now backward to God, and all that''s good and holy? |
| A26871 | Do you not know that the Devil is the great Accuser of the Brethren? |
| A26871 | Do you not pray that Gods will may be done on Earth as it is done in Heaven? |
| A26871 | Do you not pray that the rest of your lives may be Pure and Holy? |
| A26871 | Do you not reverence the Church for some hundred years after Christ, which imposed no Liturgies, but left every Pastor to use his own Prayers? |
| A26871 | Do you not use to say that all men are sinners? |
| A26871 | Do you suffer as much for reviling Preachers, as we have done for Preaching? |
| A26871 | Do you think that Man is a creature that needs to be blamed for loving or obeying God too much? |
| A26871 | Doth God make bad Laws? |
| A26871 | Doth it never affright you to find the Devils nature in you, as hating the Divine or holy nature which is in faithful Godly men? |
| A26871 | Doth not our King expect that his Bishops obey him? |
| A26871 | Doth not the Canon shew that the Church would not have them come in, when they cast them out? |
| A26871 | Doth the difference of Cathedral and Parish Worship break Peace; or of those Churches that have Organs and Altars, and those that have none? |
| A26871 | Doth the same Liberty to the Dutch here hurt any body, or break Peace? |
| A26871 | Doth this signify any dislike of their omitting Gods worship? |
| A26871 | Doubtless you know that you are sinners: And how think you to be justified at the Bar of God? |
| A26871 | God hath in wonderful mercy given us peace from forreign Enemies? |
| A26871 | God is merciful; and will he save none but Puritans, or precise zealots? |
| A26871 | God needs us not: His Laws are all made for our good? |
| A26871 | Had you not rather have a son that takes Disobedience, Whoredom, Gaming and Drunkenness for sin, than one that makes no Conscience of them? |
| A26871 | Had you rather die a Dives or a Herod, or a Lazarus or a Paul? |
| A26871 | Hath he left his Servants to the will of man, to use them how they will, or cast out of his Church whom they will? |
| A26871 | Hath he made any such Laws? |
| A26871 | Hath not God printed on mans nature such a sense of the difference between Good and Evil, as that all Laws and Government are founded in that sense? |
| A26871 | Have any Judicatures proved them guilty of any such crimes against God or Man? |
| A26871 | Have not the forecited writers truly cited them and multitudes of your Doctors which may better inform men? |
| A26871 | Have the particular persons been heard speak for themselves, and give the reason of their actions? |
| A26871 | Have you any better Master to serve than God? |
| A26871 | Have you not greater sins your selves than those whom you accuse? |
| A26871 | Have you not observed that all parties have faln by forcing multitudes to be their enemies by seeking to destroy or hurt them? |
| A26871 | Have you particular matter against them to make good this charge? |
| A26871 | He came by his Doctrine, example and grace to bring man to holy obedience: And do you hate men for the same, and yet call your selves Christians? |
| A26871 | He came to destroy the works of the Devil; and will you plead for them? |
| A26871 | How exceeding dear a love hath God and our Redeemer exprest, to all holy, obedient believers? |
| A26871 | How many more such acts have they done? |
| A26871 | How? |
| A26871 | I pray tell men of brains and sense, for what it is that you would have men Excommunicated, and laid in Jail or Fined, if they Conform not? |
| A26871 | If I like your Liturgy better than any in the Bibliotheca Patrum, is that separating from all Churches that use the rest? |
| A26871 | If Princes, how many minds are they of through the world? |
| A26871 | If a Subject neglect paying some excise, or using Bow and Arrows, will you forbid him paying any thing, or serving the King at all? |
| A26871 | If a man fail in paying his Landlord some odd act of Service, will you make a Law that he shall pay nothing at all? |
| A26871 | If every man shall follow his own fancy, what Order will there be? |
| A26871 | If he be God, he is of absolute Power; and should he not then be obeyed? |
| A26871 | If he be God, he is perfectly Good, and mans chief Benefactor; and should he not then have our chiefest Love? |
| A26871 | If he be God, he is perfectly Wise; and should not perfect Wisdom govern us? |
| A26871 | If it be an European Council, who shall call them, and who shall judge whether it be equal, and so far General? |
| A26871 | If it be not in Doctrine what is it? |
| A26871 | If it be the Bishops that must be the common rule of our Religion, what Countreys and Ages doth this rule serve for? |
| A26871 | If it were Prelates, of how many minds are they through the world, and how bitter in condemning one another? |
| A26871 | If so, do you not tell him how to judge of you, and even crave him to condemn you? |
| A26871 | If suffering may not alter them, why do you use it on them? |
| A26871 | If the Italians, French, English,& c. are all disagreed, how many and which Councils we must obey, can all poor people know which is in the right? |

| A26871 | If they excommunicated or ruined you for this, who do you think were guilty of the Schism? |
| A26871 | If this were not so, who makes the Pope? |
| A26871 | If yea, where was it? |
| A26871 | If you did suffer for Whoredom, Drunkenness, Blasphemy is that for Christ or righteousness? |
| A26871 | If you think they do too much, search the Scriptures, and see whether it be not less than God commandeth? |
| A26871 | If you will not part with your Life or Estate when another desires you, why should we part with Heaven for ever, and choose Hell at your desire? |

| A26871 | Is it individual persons that you mean, by whom it''s proved? |
| A26871 | Is it no change of our Church Government to bring us under a forreign Jurisdiction? |

| A26871 | It is God that justifieth: Who is he that will condemn them? |
| A26871 | It is not of you, that are fleshly, worldly, ungodly men; Who Persecuteth you for righteousness sake? |
| A26871 | It''s more foolish than to blame a sick man for working or eating too much that can do neither? |

| A26871 | No man understandeth all the Bible: And are many Laws and Books more necessary than Gods? |
| A26871 | Of Turks and Christians; of Wolves and Sheep, that I say not of Devils and Men? |
| A26871 | Or also in France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Poland? |
| A26871 | Or are you better than God, that you can make a better choice for your selves and us? |

| A26871 | Or could you have taught God to amend the Bible, or to govern better? |
| A26871 | Or do you not say this of whole Congregations assembled to worship God, of whom you know not one of many? |
| A26871 | Or do you think to fight against his Servants, and bribe him to be on your side, and forsake them to your rage? |
| A26871 | Or how shall we know which is right but by the Word of God? |
| A26871 | Or is it at Geneva, Holland, or the Presbyterian Countreys? |

| A26871 | Or is their course better than to worship God as Peter and Paul did? |
| A26871 | Or must all men be for the God and Religion of his King? |
| A26871 | Or shall all Subjects judge of Kings capacities? |
| A26871 | Or so mutable that General Councils of Prelates may be still increasing it? |
| A26871 | Or to hold a man in a Consumption from going up the Hill too fast? |
| A26871 | Or was Gods Word derided and taken for no reason? |
| A26871 | Or was it when the Devil and the Flesh made you mad or drunken in ignorant malice? |
| A26871 | Or were they condemned unheard? |

| A26871 | Roman Councils? |
| A26871 | Shall the Throne of Iniquity have fellowship with God, that frameth mischief by a Law, to make sin common and allowed? |
| A26871 | Such corrupters there may be as are worse indeed: But what is it that they corrupt Religion in? |
| A26871 | Sure unconscionable Servants and Debtors are more troublesom than they that fear God and believe that injustice is a damning sin? |
| A26871 | They are willing to do all required in Scripture by Christ and his Apostles: And were they Rebels and Rogues? |
| A26871 | They subscribe to all the Bible, and the ancient Creeds? |
| A26871 | This is the very tenor of the Gospel: And would you wish men to damn their Souls for nothing? |
| A26871 | To lose Heaven, and suffer Hell for ever, and all to avoid a pure and holy life? |
| A26871 | To serve and worship God no otherwise than Peter and Paul did, and than God prescribeth is enough to render us unworthy to live on English Earth? |
| A26871 | Was it in the womb? |
| A26871 | Was it not a council that deposed Ludovicus Pius? |
| A26871 | Was it not by the accusation and witness of Papists? |
| A26871 | Was it the rule where Princes and Prelates were Arians, or Nestorians, or Eutychians, or Monothelites, or Papists? |
| A26871 | Was there any Church before your reformation? |
| A26871 | We have had experience of both ways, and would you have us mad against our experience? |
| A26871 | What Spirit ruleth thee? |
| A26871 | What Worship is it that they offer God contrary to Law? |
| A26871 | What a bloody motion is this? |
| A26871 | What are the French Protestants now prosecuted and ruin''d for? |
| A26871 | What cloven foot hath entred, and expelled concord? |
| A26871 | What do you love and seek your selves? |
| A26871 | What else have we to do in the World? |
| A26871 | What great contempt of the Body and the World, did the Platonists, the Stoicks and the Cynicks profess? |
| A26871 | What hurt doth their praying do you; or their preaching, while they are responsible for any ill Doctrine? |
| A26871 | What if they dare not Swear and Drink as you do, doth this do you any harm? |
| A26871 | What is it but the Serpentine enmity that maketh you hate those that never hurt you? |
| A26871 | What is it think you, God hath not hands and feet, and bodily parts as we have? |
| A26871 | What is that odious sin? |
| A26871 | What is there in Love and Obedience to God that should make it detestable, or make us miserable? |
| A26871 | What manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy Conversation and Godliness? |
| A26871 | What mean you to do with Conscience, your own, and ours, and other mens? |
| A26871 | What monstrous cruelty is it in you to wish poor Souls to do that which God hath told us they shall be damned for? |
| A26871 | What must be the cure of Malignity? |
| A26871 | What separation do you mean? |
| A26871 | What shall we then think of them that would bring in Popery? |
| A26871 | What would you have these Ministers and People do? |
| A26871 | What? |
| A26871 | When began you to be stronger than God? |
| A26871 | When it is so hard to teach the people things necessary, few and plain? |
| A26871 | Which is the more ungodly omission? |
| A26871 | Who hateth, revileth or imprisoneth, or fineth you, for living godly in Christ Jesus? |
| A26871 | Who hath these 22 two years manifested most desires of Peace? |
| A26871 | Who kindled all the hellish flames of thy malignity and mad divisions? |
| A26871 | Why are they not these twenty years accused of Preaching false Doctrine, and proved guilty and punisht for it, if they are such? |
| A26871 | Why do they differ from their Neighbours, and judge all carnal that be not as Scrupulous as they? |
| A26871 | Why do you never find fault with men for being too strong, too healthful, too rich, too great, but only for being too obedient to God? |
| A26871 | Why do you not ingenuously plead your cause against us, so as may satisfy an understanding Conscience, before you seek our destruction? |
| A26871 | Why do you play your game under board, and behind the Curtain? |
| A26871 | Why do you take on you to believe in Christ, if you be against holiness, and for sin? |
| A26871 | Why will they be righteous over much; will not less ado bring men to Heaven? |
| A26871 | Will Christ banish them from his Kingdom? |
| A26871 | Will God ever bless a prophane rabble( or Gentry) to be the honour and strength of the Church, against the Religious that desire a Reformation? |
| A26871 | Will no Patrons chuse such? |
| A26871 | Will not all the world be forbidden to worship God, if all as bad as this be forbidden? |
| A26871 | Will not this perswade the people that all is true that is said of your intended cruelty, and make them fear you, as so many Leopards or Wolves? |
| A26871 | Will not this project perjure England? |
| A26871 | Will they not say, if the young Serpents can so easily sting, what will the old ones do? |
| A26871 | Will you follow this Rule in France or Spain? |
| A26871 | Will you give the poor all your Lands and Estates? |
| A26871 | Will you run into Fire or Water, or set your own houses on fire when any will but desire it? |
| A26871 | Will you undertake to answer for it at the bar of God, if we are charged with an ungodly, fleshly life, or omitting our necessary duty? |
| A26871 | Would you have God judge of them as you do? |
| A26871 | Ye shall be hated of all men for my names sakes; Blessed are they that suffer persecution for righteousness sake? |
| A26871 | Yea the Papists honour the very Bones and Relicks of their dead Saints? |
| A26871 | You are worse than man- eating Cannibals? |
| A26871 | You''ll say, It is Christians: True: But is it Hypocrites? |
| A26871 | and must he be believed? |
| A26871 | and that he hath malice and craft enough to say as bad as you can say, by the best of men? |
| A26871 | and were they proved insufficient? |
| A26871 | and why it is no more remedied? |
| A26871 | and yet are they unsufferable rogues that worship God but according to that rule? |
| A26871 | from ignorant malignant cruel Enemies to Truth, and Piety, and Peace? |
| A26871 | or any better work to do than he commandeth, or any better thing to seek and hope for than he hath promised? |
| A26871 | or do you thus accuse whole companies of men? |
| A26871 | or have they more of Gods Spirit, and more authority in religion? |
| A26871 | or hypocrites, how few then do you make to be saved, if God be true? |
| A26871 | or in Infancy when you could not go? |
| A26871 | or only since? |
| A26871 | or too much honour him, or obey him? |
| A26871 | so they may in others Forms, with whom yet they profess Communion: And in what is it that they shew dislike or separation? |
| A26871 | to omit all worship of God and live like Atheists, or to omit only so much of the Liturgy as the Apostles used not? |
| A26871 | what a Map of Hell is the greatest part of Earth? |
| A26871 | what great change is here of their judgments? |
| A26871 | when thousands can not answer a necessary question of the Creed or Catechism; nor know who Christ is, and how he saveth us? |
| A26871 | would they not perjure the Kingdom? |
| A27062 | 1. Who should be first served, God or Man? |
| A27062 | 11. yea when he that died for you will condemn you, shall we be more merciful than God? |
| A27062 | 12. and shall redeemed Sinners make light of them? |
| A27062 | 16. what then is he that sets light by Christ? |
| A27062 | 18. and would you have us bring your Blood upon our own Heads by a ● ie? |
| A27062 | 2. Who are his Angels? |
| A27062 | 25. where the Enquiry is made to be, whether they have sed and visited him in his Members or not? |
| A27062 | 29. then they cry out, Sirs, what shall I do to 〈 ◊ 〉 saved? |
| A27062 | 4. how unable then shall we be against God''s Sentence to justify you? |
| A27062 | 6. trembling and astonished Paul cries out, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? |
| A27062 | 9. and we are almost at the Bar, and it is so short a time to this Assize, what Soul that is not dead will be secure? |
| A27062 | A merciful Judg will hang a Man for a Fault against Man: By proportion then what is due for Sin against God? |
| A27062 | All the Death and Calamity which you see in the World, comes from the Anger of this merciful God: why then may not future Misery come from it? |
| A27062 | And can you think that you shall not hear of this again, and pay for it one Day? |
| A27062 | And could you think that it was the Will of God that you should mind your Bodies more than your Souls, and this Life more than that to come? |
| A27062 | And did it not seem as unlikely to you, that his Word should be false? |
| A27062 | And did you think 〈 ◊ 〉 basely and blasphemously of God, that he would ● sify his Word, lest such as you should suffer? |
| A27062 | And do you think you shall not hear of this? |
| A27062 | And if my Will were not free, how could I choose but sin? |
| A27062 | And is it not Reason that it should go worse with contemptuous Sinners, than with those Creatures that never sinned? |
| A27062 | And is it not just with God to make these Fiends their Familiars in Torment, with whom they entertained such Familiarity in Sin? |
| A27062 | And is not Christ worth the seeking? |
| A27062 | And is not Hell worse than the ● ● ardest Way to Heaven? |
| A27062 | And might you not have gone where a pow ● ● ful Minister was, with a little pains? |
| A27062 | And must you not much more use diligence in much greater Things? |
| A27062 | And now their time is past, what is it? |
| A27062 | And shall not the Judg of all the Earth judg righteously? |
| A27062 | And should Men be imitated, be they many, or be they few, in such a Course as this? |
| A27062 | And should not a Matter then that so concerneth thy self, go near thy Heart, and awake thee from thy Security? |
| A27062 | And the Judg may thus expostulate with them,[ Did all these Mercies deserve no more Thanks? |
| A27062 | And was it wise or equal Dealing, to prefer your Lusts before that Glory? |
| A27062 | And was not Heaven worth the enduring of a Scorn? |
| A27062 | And were you not as earnestly perswaded by God to forsake Sin and serve him, and yet that would not prevail with you? |
| A27062 | And what did God entice you with? |
| A27062 | And whose threatning should you have chiefly feared? |
| A27062 | And why did you not hearken to God that enticed you the other way? |
| A27062 | And why is this so? |
| A27062 | And why then might not Godliness have been your Ease and Recreation? |
| A27062 | And will you wilfully sin, and think to escape because God doth not hinder you? |
| A27062 | Are all that hear me this Day certain they shall be saved? |
| A27062 | Are you no more near or dear to your selves, than to make light of your own Happiness or Misery? |
| A27062 | Are you resolved to let them go? |
| A27062 | Are you turned your own Enemies? |
| A27062 | Are your Minds taken up with these Considerations? |
| A27062 | As a Man, what art thou but a Worm to God? |
| A27062 | At least it doth God no harm, and therefore why ● uld he do us so much harm for it? |
| A27062 | But I have not Power of my self to do any thing that is good: what can the Creature do? |
| A27062 | But are you excusable if he do not? |
| A27062 | But consider well, Was not God''s Word so plainly written, that the Unlearned might understand it? |
| A27062 | But how easily will God make them know the contrary? |
| A27062 | But how shall Heathens be judged by the Law of Grace, that never did receive it? |
| A27062 | But how shall Insants be judged by the Gospel, that were uncapable of it? |
| A27062 | But if Christ have satisfied for my Sins, and died for me, then how can I justly suffer for the same Sins? |
| A27062 | But if Men will not hear, and there be no remedy, who can help it? |
| A27062 | But seeing thou art also guilty of those special Sins which he never shed his Blood for, who shall deliver thee from that Accusation? |
| A27062 | But the last Question which must decide the Controversy will be, whether we have performed the Condition of the Gospel? |
| A27062 | But what if the Way to Heaven had been harder than it was? |
| A27062 | But when hear we such Questions? |
| A27062 | But whither must they depart? |
| A27062 | But who be they that are ready? |
| A27062 | But why is it called a Fire prepared for the Devil and his Angels? |
| A27062 | Can foolish Sinners think to lie hid or escape at that Day, that will now sin wilfully before their Judg? |
| A27062 | Can we absolve you when the righteous God will condemn you? |
| A27062 | Can we have any Mercy on you, when he that made you will not save you, and he that formed you will shew you no Mercy? |
| A27062 | Can you do it better when Sin hath more hardned it, and God may have given thee over to thy felf? |
| A27062 | Can you escape without a Christ? |
| A27062 | Can you find fault if you miss of the Salvation which you slighted? |
| A27062 | Consider, 4. Who is it that sends this weighty Message to you? |
| A27062 | Could not God requite your Labour or Sufferings? |
| A27062 | Could you have taken no time from your rest, or eating, or at other Intermissions? |
| A27062 | Dare you doubt of this which the God of Heaven hath so positively affirmed? |
| A27062 | Depart: From whom? |
| A27062 | Depart: from what? |
| A27062 | Despisest thou the Riches of his Goodness, and Forbearance, and Long- suffering, not knowing that the Goodness of God leadeth thee to Repentance? |
| A27062 | Did God hide these things from you? |
| A27062 | Did God ● ake the World so easily? |
| A27062 | Did God''s Word make Heaven and Earth? |
| A27062 | Did he not stand by you when you were in your Cups and lustful Pleasures? |
| A27062 | Did he not tell you of the Danger, and offer you far better things, if you would obey him and despise those Baits? |
| A27062 | Did not Christ tell thee, One thing is necessary? |
| A27062 | Did not Christ tell you that if you were ashamed of him before Men, he would be ashamed of you before his Father and the Angels of Heaven? |
| A27062 | Did not God also threaten you with everlasting Death, if you were not ruled by him? |
| A27062 | Did not God purpose also to manifest the Glory of his remunerative Justice? |
| A27062 | Did not God tell you all this and much more; and plainly tell it you? |
| A27062 | Did the Knees of King Belshazzar knock together with trembling, when he saw the Hand- writing on the Wall? |
| A27062 | Did you doubt of his Will, or of his Power? |
| A27062 | Did you joi ● with the Godly so far as they are all agreed? |
| A27062 | Did you not feel Pain and Misery begin in this Life? |
| A27062 | Did you spend no time in Recreation, nor Idleness, nor vain talking? |
| A27062 | Did you think God was no wiser than you, and understood not himself, because you understood him not? |
| A27062 | Didst thou attend diligently on the Word in publick, and think of what thou heardst when thou camest home? |
| A27062 | Didst thou go to the Minister, or to others that could teach thee, and intreat them to tell thee the Way to Salvation? |
| A27062 | Didst thou pray daily for it to God? |
| A27062 | Didst thou use all the means thou couldst to get it? |
| A27062 | Do not some of your Consciences by this time smite you, and say, I am the Man that have made light of my Salvation? |
| A27062 | Do not the negligent Studies of some speak it out? |
| A27062 | Do not these make light of Christ and Salvation? |
| A27062 | Do not they make light of the Doctrine they preach, that do it as if they were half asleep, and feel not what they speak themselves? |
| A27062 | Do not those then make light of Christ and Salvation, that shun the mention of his Name, unless it be in a vain or sinful Use? |
| A27062 | Do not those then make light of Christ and Salvation, that think of them so seldom and coldly in comparison of other things? |
| A27062 | Do not you use to ask this of your own Hearts? |
| A27062 | Do we desire this sad Fruit of our Labours? |
| A27062 | Do you mean to set as light by Christ and Salvation as hitherto you have done? |
| A27062 | Do you not see by this time what a Case that Soul is in that maketh light of Christ and Salvation? |
| A27062 | Do you soundly believe this Doctrine which I have ● ached to you? |
| A27062 | Do you think that Christ shed his Blood to save them that continue to make light of it? |
| A27062 | Do you think this will not one Day cost you dear? |
| A27062 | Doth any repent when they come to Heaven, that it cost them so ● ● ear to come thither? |
| A27062 | Doth it not behove you beforehand to think of these things? |
| A27062 | Doth not that Soul make light of all these, that thinks his Ease more worth than they? |
| A27062 | Doth not the Carelesness of some Mens private Endeavours discover it? |
| A27062 | Doth not the continued Neglect of those things wherein the Interest of Christ consisteth discover it? |
| A27062 | Doth not the covetous and worldly Lives of too many discover it, losing Advantages for Mens Souls for a little Gain to themselves? |
| A27062 | Doth not their dead and drowsy Preaching declare it? |
| A27062 | For as to their own Glory, it is but a Smoak: what matter is it whether you live poor or rich, unless it were a greater Matter to die rich than it is? |
| A27062 | For he knoweth vain Man; be seech Wickedness also, and will be not consider it? |
| A27062 | For how should it be? |
| A27062 | For the fourth Particular, Who will be the Accuser? |
| A27062 | For the poor Creture to stand before his Maker and Redeemer, to be judged to everlasting Joy or Torment? |
| A27062 | For the seventh Head, What will be the Cause of the Day to be enqu ● ed after? |
| A27062 | For the sixth Particular, What Law is it that Men shall be judged by? |
| A27062 | For the third Point, Who are they that must be judged? |
| A27062 | Friend, how camest thou in hither, not having on a Wedding- Gar ● ent? |
| A27062 | God thought not all these too good for you, and did you think your Hearts and Services too good for him? |
| A27062 | God will judg impartially; why should not we do so? |
| A27062 | Hath God given you ● o means towards the Cure of this Disability, which you have neglected? |
| A27062 | Hath not God been merciful to thee in bearing with thee so long, and offering thee Grace in the Blood of Christ, till thou didst wilfully reject it? |
| A27062 | Have you found a better Friend, a greater and surer Happiness than this? |
| A27062 | Have you gone to them, and told them the Doubtfulness of your Case, and asked their Help in the judging of your Condition? |
| A27062 | Have you no Body to enquire of, that might help you in such a Work? |
| A27062 | He served yours with the weary Labours of your fellow- Creatures; and should you have grudged to bear his easy Yoak? |
| A27062 | He suffered more than Scorns for you: and could not you suffer a Scorn for him and yourselves? |
| A27062 | He that will come after me, let him deny himself? |
| A27062 | He told you it was an Enemy that tempted you: and would you hearken to an Enemy? |
| A27062 | How can I do this great Wickedness, and 〈 ◊ 〉 against God? |
| A27062 | How canst thou live merrily, or sleep quietly in such a Condition, as if thou shouldst die in it, thou shouldst perish for ever? |
| A27062 | How carefully should we consider what we do with our Riches, and with all that God giveth us? |
| A27062 | How could I be saved if Christ did not die for me? |
| A27062 | How often hath Christ warned us in the Gospel, that we be always ready, because we know not the day or Hour of his coming? |
| A27062 | How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation? |
| A27062 | How shall we sooner know a Man to be a Fool, than if he knows no difference between Dung and Gold? |
| A27062 | How then can a little Misery on Earth prevent it? |
| A27062 | How then should thy Heart be afffected that seeth the Hand- writing of God as a Summons to his Bar? |
| A27062 | How will these Despisers of Christ and Salvation be able one Day to look him in the Face, and to give an account of these Neglects? |
| A27062 | How will ye escape the Damnation of Hell? |
| A27062 | I say, doth this Man believe that he is going to this Judgment? |
| A27062 | If I shall tell you what you must do for Preparation, shall I not lose my Labour? |
| A27062 | If any foolish Infidels shall say, Where shall so great a Number stand? |
| A27062 | If not, when you know''t is the Will of Christ, and he hath told you such shall not enter into his Kingdom, do not you make light of him? |
| A27062 | If thou canst make thine own Heart willing, why is it not done now? |
| A27062 | If you have the Face to say, Lord, when did we see thee hungry? |
| A27062 | If you knew not better, who was it long of but your self? |
| A27062 | If you say, Why can not God find out a Remedy for this Sin, as well as he did for the first? |
| A27062 | If you will not be perswaded to this much, how can you say that you make not light of Christ and Salvation? |
| A27062 | If you will not, are not you Slighters o ● Christ and Salvation, that will not be perswaded soberly to think on them? |
| A27062 | In the Name of God, Brethren, I beseech you to consider how you will then bear his Anger which you now make light of? |
| A27062 | Is Death more terrible than Hell? |
| A27062 | Is Dives then any better than Lazarus? |
| A27062 | Is Man more dreadful than God? |
| A27062 | Is Self- love lost? |
| A27062 | Is it all one to wrong you, and to wrong the God of Heaven? |
| A27062 | Is it not God himself? |
| A27062 | Is it not your own? |
| A27062 | Is not everlasting Salvation worth more than all this? |
| A27062 | Is not he better and more lovely than all these? |
| A27062 | Is not he worthy to go without it that thinks so basely of it? |
| A27062 | Is not that Man even worse than mad, that is going to God''s Judgment, and never thinks of it? |
| A27062 | Is that a Friend or a Servant worthy to be regarded, that will disobey you, or betray you as oft as he is tempted to it? |
| A27062 | Is that a Man or a Corps that is not affected with Matters of this Moment? |
| A27062 | Is that a Man, or a Clod of Clay, that can rise and lie down without being deeply affected with his everlasting Estate? |
| A27062 | Is this a Matter to be forgotten? |
| A27062 | Is this the Thanks that God hath for his Mercies? |
| A27062 | It is no less than Miracles of Love and Mercy that he hath shewed to us: and yet shall we slight them after all? |
| A27062 | It was God that let loose the Devil to tempt me; and he was too subtile for me to deal with; and therefore what wonder if I sinned and were overcome? |
| A27062 | May not God and Conscience witness, that it was because you cared not for Knowledg, and would not be at pains to get it, that you knew no more? |
| A27062 | Methinks a Man that knoweth he shall be judged, should ask himself the question every day of his Life; am I ready to give up my Account to God? |
| A27062 | Must God either be ignorant of what you will do, or else be the Cause of it? |
| A27062 | Must the raw unexperienced Learner despise his Book or Teacher, as oft as in his Ignorance he thinks he meets with Contradictions? |
| A27062 | My next Question is, Whether are you ready for his dreadful Judgment when it comes, or not? |
| A27062 | My next Question is, Whether you do ever soberly consider of this great Day? |
| A27062 | My next Question to you is, How are you ● ffected with the Consideration of this Day? |
| A27062 | Nor Christ that came purposely from Heaven to reveal them? |
| A27062 | Nor could reconcile his own Words, because you could not reconcile them? |
| A27062 | O Lord, that Men did but know what everlasting Glory, and everlasting Torments are; would they then hear us as they do? |
| A27062 | O Sirs, if Men made not light of these things, what working would there be in the Hearts of all our Hearers? |
| A27062 | O Sirs, what shift do you make to keep your Souls from continual Terrors, as long as you remain unready for Judgment? |
| A27062 | Or Paul that heard and saw them? |
| A27062 | Or at least, did you not live near some that could read? |
| A27062 | Or didst thou not rather sin against that Knowledg which thou hadst? |
| A27062 | Or if you could, yet it was God''s Law, and not Mens Faults that was made the Rule for you to live by ▪ Will it excuse you that others are bad? |
| A27062 | Or might you not have minded these things ever when you were about your Labour, if you had but a Heart to them? |
| A27062 | Or rather have Death, ● ich is nothing, as the iust Reward of it? |
| A27062 | Or rather think him the more unfit for Mercy? |
| A27062 | Or will you now set your selves with all your Might, to prepare for so great a Day? |
| A27062 | Or will you shew that you are Slighters of Christ by neglecting them? |
| A27062 | See here thy own unholy Soul; canst thou now say thou didst love me above all? |
| A27062 | Shall every Man be false to God that hath any Bait to entice him from him? |
| A27062 | Shall every Murderer or Thief escape hanging, because the Devil was too cunning for him in his Temptations? |
| A27062 | Shall the God of Heaven speak, and Men make light of it? |
| A27062 | Should we lie and say we did not? |
| A27062 | Should you not have served him that so liberally maintained you? |
| A27062 | Sin is no Being: and ● ll Men be damned for that which is nothing? |
| A27062 | Speak truth, Man, in the Presence of thy Judg; was thy Heart and Mind set upon it? |
| A27062 | Tell me, is it so or not? |
| A27062 | The chief thing that God called you to, was to love him, and make him your Delight: and are Love and Delight such grievous things? |
| A27062 | The next Point in our Method is, to shew you, What will be the Evidence of the Cause? |
| A27062 | The ninth part of our Work is to shew you, ● hat are those frivolous Excuses by which the Vnrighteous may then indeavour their Defence? |
| A27062 | Then who will prove the Loser by thy Contempt? |
| A27062 | They that tried them found them the very Joy and Delight of their ● ouls; and why could not you do so? |
| A27062 | V. For the fifth Particular, How will the Sinners be called to the Bar? |
| A27062 | Wa ● not God''s Word sufficient Evidence? |
| A27062 | Was not Heaven worth your Labour? |
| A27062 | Was there no more in God''s Intention when he elected some, than the Manifestation of the Riches of his glorious Grace? |
| A27062 | Wat it not also prepared for wicked Men? |
| A27062 | Were you afraid of being a loser by it? |
| A27062 | What Gospel- Passages had Balaam? |
| A27062 | What Matter can be mentioned with the Tongue of Man of greater moment? |
| A27062 | What are these things you set so much by ▪ as to prefer them before Christ, and the saving of your Souls? |
| A27062 | What barbarous, yea devilish, yea worse than devilish Ingratitude is this? |
| A27062 | What did Men entice you with? |
| A27062 | What do they for Souls? |
| A27062 | What do you think when you repeat the Creed, and mention Christ''s Judgment, and everlasting Life? |
| A27062 | What if they threatned you with present Death? |
| A27062 | What is all the World to him, but as the Drop of a Bucket, as ● e Dust of the Ballance? |
| A27062 | What is this Devil that hath Angels? |
| A27062 | What need then is there that you should take heed lest this should prove your own Case? |
| A27062 | What say you Sirs? |
| A27062 | What say you, beloved Hearers, are you ready for Judgment, or are you not? |
| A27062 | What say you? |
| A27062 | What say you? |
| A27062 | What say you? |
| A27062 | What should be first sought after, Heaven or Earth? |
| A27062 | What should we say if he ask us, Did not you tell them the Misery of their natural State, and what would become of them if they were not made new? |
| A27062 | What think you now, Friends, of this Business? |
| A27062 | What this Sin of making light of the Gospel is? |
| A27062 | What was there but your own wicked Hearts that should make such a Life seem grievous to you? |
| A27062 | What will ● ● is Babler say? |
| A27062 | What wonder if for all that we can say or do, our Hearers still set light by Christ and their own Salvation, when the Apostles Hearers did the same? |
| A27062 | What would you have us say, if God ask us, Did you tell this Sinner of the need of Christ, of the Glory of the World to come, and the Vanity of this? |
| A27062 | What, will you abuse him by whom it is that you are Men? |
| A27062 | When the Gospel pierceth the Heart indeed, they cry out, Men and Brethren, what shall we do to be saved? |
| A27062 | When they are once pricked in their Hear ● for Sin and Misery, then they cry out, Men and Breth ● what shall we do? |
| A27062 | When was it prepared for them? |
| A27062 | Who are those? |
| A27062 | Whose Salvation is it that you make light of? |
| A27062 | Why Sirs, do you not care whether you be saved or damned? |
| A27062 | Why Sirs, if you had every one a Kingdom in your Hopes, what were it in comparison of the everlasting Kingdom? |
| A27062 | Why did you not ● o far then agree with them? |
| A27062 | Why then did not these take as much with you as the other? |
| A27062 | Why will you not judg now, as you know you shall judg then? |
| A27062 | Wi ● ● you therefore attend to the publick preaching of th ● ● Word? |
| A27062 | Will he then be worth ten thousand Worlds, and is he not now worth your highest Estimation, and dearest Affection? |
| A27062 | Will you do all this with Delight, not as your Toil, but as your Pleasure? |
| A27062 | Will you do no more than you have done hitherto? |
| A27062 | Will you do these things? |
| A27062 | Will you for the time to come esteem more of the Officers of Christ, whom he hath purposely appointed to guide you to Salvation? |
| A27062 | Will you for the time to come make Conscience of daily and earnest Prayer to God, that you may have a Part in Christ and Salvation? |
| A27062 | Will you for the time to come resolvedly cast away your known Sins at the Command of Christ? |
| A27062 | Will you not believe till you see or feel? |
| A27062 | Will you resolve and promise in the Strength of Grace, that you will faithfully and speedily endeavour to practise it, whoever shall gainsay it? |
| A27062 | Will you resolve to stick to Christ, and make sure this Work of Salvation, though it cost you all that you have in the World? |
| A27062 | Will you take this for a good Excuse from your ● hildren or Servants, if they abuse you? |
| A27062 | Will you use hereafter to go 〈 ◊ 〉 your Ministers privately, and solicite them for Ad ● ice? |
| A27062 | Would you have the Jury or the Judg to take this for a good Excuse? |
| A27062 | Would you have us lie to God, and say we did not? |
| A27062 | Yea further, answer as in the Presence of God; Didst tou obey so far as thou didst know? |
| A27062 | Yea, did not the very plain Word that you heard read, tell you of these things? |
| A27062 | You forget what Helps he afforded you to discover the Wiles of Satan, and to vanquish the Temptation? |
| A27062 | You have Ministers at hand; why do you not go to them, and earnestly ask them, Sirs, What must I do to be saved? |
| A27062 | You hear, Brethren, what will not serve the turn; will you now hear what Persons you must be if you would not be condemned as Slighters of Christ? |
| A27062 | You know well enough that Death levels all: what Matter is it at Judgment, whether you be to answer for the Life of a rich Man, or a poor Man? |
| A27062 | You would be afraid now to meet him in the Dark: what will you be to live with him in everlasting Darkness? |
| A27062 | and can he not govern it by ● ● e and righteous Means? |
| A27062 | and could you not have procured them to read to you, or to help you? |
| A27062 | and did you not hear these things read to you in the Congregation by the Minister, or might have done if you would? |
| A27062 | and did you pray daily that God would lead you into the Truth ▪ and did you obey as much as you knew? |
| A27062 | and how importunate should we all be with Sinners for their Conversion, when we consider that we our selves also must shortly be judged? |
| A27062 | and how they will shortly leave you ● and what mind you will be then of, and how you wil ● esteem them? |
| A27062 | and if you have not such of your own as are fit, 〈 ◊ 〉 Advice from others; and ask them What you shall do 〈 ◊ 〉 be saved? |
| A27062 | and might you not have had a Bible your selves, and found them there? |
| A27062 | and neglect him without whom you can not subsist? |
| A27062 | and the Revelation of his Will to guide that Reason? |
| A27062 | and to be the same Men after all this? |
| A27062 | and to save them that value a Cup of Drink, or a Lust, before his Salvation? |
| A27062 | and what is it that you neglect? |
| A27062 | and where was any ● rer Ground for your Confidence? |
| A27062 | and whether time be no more worth to one that is so near Eternity, and must make so strict an Account of his Hours? |
| A27062 | and why might not you have done so, if you had been as industrious as they? |
| A27062 | and will you make ● se of them for that end? |
| A27062 | and would you not believe Stephe ● that saw them? |
| A27062 | and yet wouldst thou now perswade the Judg that thou didst love God above all? |
| A27062 | and yet you have his written Word that speaks plainer than all these; and will you despise them all? |
| A27062 | and ● at he was fain to rule the World by a Lie? |
| A27062 | and ● ill you obey the Word of God in their Mouths? |
| A27062 | and 〈 ◊ 〉 not his Word sufficient Security for you to have ● usted your Souls upon? |
| A27062 | but how heartlesly do they make mention of Christ and Salvation? |
| A27062 | but will you not then be troubled at his Presence and tormenting Power? |
| A27062 | can he not awe ● em by Truth? |
| A27062 | can not Men be saved without so much ado? |
| A27062 | canst thou deny but thou didst love this World before me, and serve thy Flesh and Lusts, though I told thee if thou ● idst so thou shouldst die? |
| A27062 | did you know where was ● y better Security to be had? |
| A27062 | doth it support them, and secure them? |
| A27062 | how carelesly didst thou serve him, and think much of all that thou didst therein? |
| A27062 | how coldly didst thou worship him, or make any mention of him? |
| A27062 | how little do they when they are out of the Pulpit for the saving of Mens Souls? |
| A27062 | how many a Soul that is now in Heaven or Hell, within 100 Years dwelt in the Places that you now dwell in, and sat in the Seats you now sit in? |
| A27062 | how shall I know whether I be ready or not? |
| A27062 | how slightly do they reprove Sin? |
| A27062 | how speedily is it come? |
| A27062 | how to prepare for Death and Judgment? |
| A27062 | if we should be so foolish and unjust, what good would it do you? |
| A27062 | or from a ● hief or a Murderer? |
| A27062 | or will a despised Christ save you then? |
| A27062 | shall God and his Ministers speak in vain? |
| A27062 | shall he escape by telling the ● dg that his Sin was nothing? |
| A27062 | shall it appear in any good Uses that God calls you to be liberal in, according to your Abilities? |
| A27062 | shall the Poor find that you see more by Christ than this World? |
| A27062 | that ask of his Service, as Judas of the Ointment, What need this waste? |
| A27062 | that provide outward Necessaries so carefully for their Families, but do so little to the saving of their Souls? |
| A27062 | the Devils never had a Saviour offered them, but thou hast, and dost thou yet make light of him? |
| A27062 | we must be either against God or you; and can you think that we should be for any one against our Maker and Redeemer? |
| A27062 | we must either condemn the Sentence of Jesus Christ or condemn you: and is not there more reason to condemn you than him? |
| A27062 | what is a little time when it is gone? |
| A27062 | what is it that you run after? |
| A27062 | what need God to say that ● hich he will not do, to awe Sinners? |
| A27062 | what the Accusation, and what the Defence? |
| A27062 | when God is against you, whose side would you have us be of? |
| A27062 | why Flesh and Blood can not see them: You see not God: will you not therefore believe that there is a God? |
| A27062 | why might not that at least have been spent about heavenly things? |
| A27062 | will God punish one Sin twice? |
| A27062 | will you excuse your Child or Friend, if he would be false to you, upon as great Enticements as these? |
| A27062 | will you live to his Dishonour who giveth you your Lives? |
| A27062 | will you not hear so loud and constant Calls? |
| A27062 | will you not see so great a Light? |
| A27062 | will you read it daily? |
| A27062 | will you resolve t ● obey it whatever it may cost you? |
| A27062 | will you speak to his Dishonour that giveth you your Speech? |
| A27062 | will you therefore wrong God because you see others wrong him? |
| A27062 | will you wrong him by his own Creatures? |
| A27062 | with a little deluding fleshly Pleasure for a few Days? |
| A27062 | with what an Heart must a Minister preach when he remembreth that all the Words that he is speaking must condemn many, if not most of his Hearers? |
| A27062 | would they read and think of these things as they do? |
| A27062 | would you have believed one from the dead that had told you he ha ● seen such things? |
| A27062 | would you spit in the Face of your own Father if you saw others do so? |
| A27062 | would you think it a good Excuse if the rest should do the like because of their Example? |
| A27062 | yea, and to do you no good, when we know that Lies will not prevail with God? |
| A27062 | you have the Bible and other good Books by you; why do you not read them? |
| A27032 | 1. Who would have thought that you are so much looser in your communion than we are? |
| A27032 | 15. and make to your self and followers a new Law, that whomsoever you shall suspect or accuse of sin, you must also separate from? |
| A27032 | 2. Who made the Law, that no man must write on a subject after Dr. Owen? |
| A27032 | A King without a Kingdom? |
| A27032 | A yea, or a nay? |
| A27032 | After so many Untruths? |
| A27032 | Alas Sir, what would you have said if I had told you how common this was in the Army? |
| A27032 | Alas man, what dayes of Humiliation do you use to keep, for the sins and miseries of the Land? |
| A27032 | Alas, That your Pen could write the last word without the more prevalent rebuke of your Conscience? |
| A27032 | Am I not free? |
| A27032 | An Integral member may rather be cut off, than the whole should perish: But what member will separate it self from the b ● dy? |
| A27032 | And God is no respecter of persons? |
| A27032 | And Luther, Althamar and others, to set no more by James''s Epistle than they did? |
| A27032 | And are not Ministers bound to teach the people by Example, as well as by Doctrine? |
| A27032 | And are the sins of such as we, no Causes of our publick calamities? |
| A27032 | And are they Hypocrites else for joyning with you? |
| A27032 | And are they not two wayes of predicating or publishing the same Gospel? |
| A27032 | And are you not by this time an excellent Scholar and a very wise man, if you did so by all your other Books? |
| A27032 | And are you yet insensible of your own partiality; that then you blamed that in the Bishop which now you can freely do your self? |
| A27032 | And as to the Predicate, Is there a difference between the Questions, whether such a Church may be joyned with? |
| A27032 | And both of the Anabaptists? |
| A27032 | And can any ignorant Mountebanks more mortally and perniciously practise Physick, than you thus practise the Reformation of the Churches? |
| A27032 | And can you wink so hard, as not to see how here you openly declare your falsehood? |
| A27032 | And could I expect, that he that will disdain to read these Books, will read another that repeateth the same things? |
| A27032 | And could you see no difference between seeking it, and in faith expecting it? |
| A27032 | And did those Prophets lie? |
| A27032 | And did you believe your self that the Bishop of Worcesters words so many years ago, are a proof that I repent not now? |
| A27032 | And do not most good Ministers and people publickly confess to God, that our own sins have been the Causes of our Calamities? |
| A27032 | And do you doubt of it? |
| A27032 | And do you not at that very time prove me proud for writing so many Books, when by this and other passages you call for an answer, that is, for more? |
| A27032 | And do you not grosly wrong those Rulers, from whom you think any danger or hurt will come to us for such doctrine as this? |
| A27032 | And do you not know how your erronious reasonings and practices do occasion men even to scorn at your talk of Reformation? |
| A27032 | And do you not then dethrone him, and deny him indeed to be the Christ? |
| A27032 | And do you not yet perceive your partiality and respect of persons? |
| A27032 | And do you not yet see how much you have of the same silencing Spirit which you profess to separate from? |
| A27032 | And do you think that the Church that hath Power to do well, and will not, is therefore to be communicated with because it can? |
| A27032 | And do you think that they thereby expose good people to the Magistrates hatred or revenge? |
| A27032 | And doth he not differ from most whom he nameth himself, by his Separation? |
| A27032 | And doth it not exasparate them to see men justifie unquestionable sin? |
| A27032 | And doth not his Epistle before it shew that he was one of the Publishers? |
| A27032 | And have you first admonished them of that sin, and tryed all these Ministers whether they be penitent? |
| A27032 | And here the word[ only] was before his eyes, a confutation of his calumny? |
| A27032 | And how come the Churches in the Ages next the Apostles to leave out so many Books of the Canon as many of them did, while others received them? |
| A27032 | And how few can say, the place where I live is not the less innocent for me, nor suffereth ever the more for me? |
| A27032 | And if I offend all and please none, what need he be at all this labour to save men from being pleased by me? |
| A27032 | And if an Aaron will make the people naked to their shame, will not God record it to his shame? |
| A27032 | And if so, would he serve God or the Devil, that would scorn us all as Proud for preaching so much, as the best men do? |
| A27032 | And if you Preach the Gospel to a Congregation that can not read, do you recite all the various readings in the Hebrew and Greek to them? |
| A27032 | And if you have read them, why would you dissemble it, and give no Reply to it? |
| A27032 | And is he fit to glory in the cleansing fruit of sufferings, that shall falsly say, that such a necessary warning is an inveighing against sufferings? |
| A27032 | And is it any wonder if our dishonesty make us unworthy of their Communion, when our honesty is questionable for the Licensing of our Books? |
| A27032 | And is not this also a rash and careless man, that no better heedeth what he readeth and what he writeth? |
| A27032 | And is not this fallacy a dicto secundum quod ad dictum simpliciter, a notorious cheat, and falshood? |
| A27032 | And is that example, which is unknown? |
| A27032 | And is the same thing bad in the Bishop, and good in you? |
| A27032 | And is there any thing in all this, that saith, I was no way Active in it? |
| A27032 | And is there not sin among us, even among us also? |
| A27032 | And is this Printed Epistle and Testimony no Publication? |
| A27032 | And is this comparative question any kin to that which you now falsly father on me? |
| A27032 | And it is false doctrine that Imprisonments and Death are due to all such: What kind of Politicks would you write? |
| A27032 | And may not a True Church be faulty and Defective? |
| A27032 | And may not your honesty be as reasonably questioned because you are suffered to Preach? |
| A27032 | And must I needs as my duty, be so mad, as not to know that any observe me, or regard what I do, for fear of being proud? |
| A27032 | And must they needs talk to the people of their superiours actions, and speak against them behind their backs? |
| A27032 | And must your Ignorance of such matters as Melancholly have so great influence into your Divinity? |
| A27032 | And shall I write more to remove his Fears, who will rather blindly vent them by calumny, than read for his satisfaction what I have said? |
| A27032 | And so many Godly men long, and yet, to receive much of the Apocrypha? |
| A27032 | And that every rash and carelesly uttered untruth, which is privatively voluntary( that is, where the will omitteth its Office) is a lie? |
| A27032 | And the Independents think so of the Presbyterians? |
| A27032 | And what Christian desireth not the greatest Holiness and Righteousness in the World? |
| A27032 | And what Liberty doth that give away? |
| A27032 | And what is it that keepeth you from seeing how strongly you confute your self? |
| A27032 | And what made them threaten to disown him if he would not cease such wayes? |
| A27032 | And what reason hath any man to doubt, but if it were in your power, you would silence me as much as any Bishop would? |
| A27032 | And when I had answered all this so fully, why will you deign to confute a Book, while you disdain to take notice what it saith? |
| A27032 | And when did I ever endeavour to expose such men? |
| A27032 | And who gave you authority so to examine other Pastors, being but a single person? |
| A27032 | And who will not think that read your Book, that you would be one of the first accused of Railing? |
| A27032 | And why must this be non- sense now? |
| A27032 | And why not as well from all other sins of equal greatness? |
| A27032 | And why not? |
| A27032 | And why should you think that I must be ashamed of that which you are uncertain of? |
| A27032 | And will you believe this man and follow him upon his bare word, who hath published eighty such falshoods? |
| A27032 | And would any thing cure this scandal also, that had not been notified? |
| A27032 | And would you thus leave us all desperate in Impenitency? |
| A27032 | And yet he professeth not repentance for any one of them? |
| A27032 | And yet the Church that used the same Voluntarily( and therefore more sinfully) is not to be separated from? |
| A27032 | And yet you would not have it said that he lied? |
| A27032 | Are not you and others that suffer in danger of such temptations, and sin in sufferings? |
| A27032 | Are those Infidels, Quakers, with the& c.[ All]? |
| A27032 | As any? |
| A27032 | As his manner was, he went in to them, and three Sabbath dayes reasoned — Or do you believe, that Christ was a sinner? |
| A27032 | As if he did believe that those whom I mentioned( even with an& c.) were[ all] and there were no others in the world? |
| A27032 | Bound, Dr. Young, Dr. Twisse, Mr. Eaton, Mr. Bifield, Mr. Shephard, and many more? |
| A27032 | But I would fain know, whether it be the Imposition, that nullifieth the Church, or makes Communion unlawful, or only the obeying that Imposition? |
| A27032 | But at the worst; not reproving can be but a particular sin? |
| A27032 | But do you not know that there is a Ministerial as well as a Magistratical forcing Imposition? |
| A27032 | But how could she be Converted without resolving of a holy life? |
| A27032 | But if you do not believe your self, how much less should others believe you? |
| A27032 | But if you think it a sin for any to hear you, or have communion with you, why do you not plainly tell your hearers so? |
| A27032 | But is all the stress of separation laid upon the word[ Imposing?] |
| A27032 | But is there a Power retained in such Churches to cast out offendors? |
| A27032 | But next let us see your evidence or proof: Your first is,[ What need I have told the world,& c.] would you have an answer to your question or not? |
| A27032 | But we that are not so wise as you, must be beholden to various Copies, Records, Printers, Lawyers, to know which are the Statutes in force? |
| A27032 | But what are the few words that would satisfie you? |
| A27032 | But what if he attain this end, and be believed? |
| A27032 | But what if they have sharply reproved this one sin? |
| A27032 | But what part you will call considerable who knows? |
| A27032 | But will suffer, and be silenced, and ruined, and die, and yet not acknowledge that so unnatural and pernicious a thing is a sin? |
| A27032 | By choosing what Chapter to read, you impose on the people to hear that Chapter then or none? |
| A27032 | Can all Women and Unlearned persons or Ministers, judge by the Original Transcripts who understand not the Original tongues? |
| A27032 | Can all your hearers inwardly approve of all that you say, if you preach and pray but as you write? |
| A27032 | Can you believe this? |
| A27032 | Can you heap up untruths in Book after Book, and commit all these Crimes, even when you have strictly meditated what you write? |
| A27032 | Could I think that Book forgotten which remaineth visible? |
| A27032 | Could I think that part of my life forgotten, which all in the City of Coventry, who thirty years ago were at years of discretion, may remember? |
| A27032 | Could you think that[ a few words] would open a mans mind so plainly, as many Books can do? |
| A27032 | Did David deserve to be hated of all, because his numbring the people brought the plague? |
| A27032 | Did Venner and his company think you hold no more? |
| A27032 | Did any other impose it, or shut her mouth? |
| A27032 | Did ever sober men go about with such general accusations, and expect that men answer to they know not what? |
| A27032 | Did not the Primitive Teachers, Apostles and others leave us their Examples for Writing, as well as for Vocal Teaching? |
| A27032 | Did our Separations and Church- divisions these six and twenty years last past promote our Reformation? |
| A27032 | Did you believe when you wrote this, that this reference was a proof of my Pride? |
| A27032 | Did you know before you wrote this, that all such as we perswade men to hear, have by Oath renounced their Christian Liberty? |
| A27032 | Do Angels rejoice at a sinners Repentance; and shall we take him for their enemy, that calls them to it? |
| A27032 | Do I fell thirty three Truths, when I read thirty three untruths in your Writings? |
| A27032 | Do I sell Truth, if I should hear you preach or pray erroneously, and impose your confused prayers on the people? |
| A27032 | Do all the Men and Women that are Godly actually know the true and uncorrupt copies and readings, by the Book it self without mans testimony? |
| A27032 | Do all the Parish Ministers do so? |
| A27032 | Do not corrupt Copies come to other mens hands? |
| A27032 | Do not the Translations differ? |
| A27032 | Do you believe that none of the Levellers, or those whom Oliver Cromwell suppressed under the name of Fifth Monarchy men, held no more? |
| A27032 | Do you believe that they that turned Quakers in Prison are gainers by their sufferings? |
| A27032 | Do you consider what you write? |
| A27032 | Do you know his name, that ever knew this by Reading the Bible only, without being ever told it by any? |
| A27032 | Do you neither in Life nor in your sufferings, intend to be publickly exemplary? |
| A27032 | Do you not forbear the publick Assemblies, the rather that your example may move others? |
| A27032 | Do you not perceive here how your work contradicts your self? |
| A27032 | Do you not preach or talk to your own auditors, and expect observation? |
| A27032 | Do you only confess your adversaries sins? |
| A27032 | Do you prove me as earnest and open an ● ss ● rter as any, by citing words in which I profess to be ignorant, neutral and uncertain? |
| A27032 | Do you sin so studyedly and deliberately, and yet will you not Repent? |
| A27032 | Do you think by such a rate of Reasoning as this is, to be accounted a wise& faithful Teacher? |
| A27032 | Do you think he took any heed of the word[ only] when he wrote it? |
| A27032 | Do you think indeed that you are not noted your self? |
| A27032 | Do you think then that Christ ever sent out Lyars, Railers, furious Church- dividers, false accusers,& c? |
| A27032 | Do you warn all others not to hear your self? |
| A27032 | Doth he hereby expose them to be odious? |
| A27032 | Doth he not fix upon you by such Libells as these, an odious reproach? |
| A27032 | Doth no man ever receive Grace? |
| A27032 | Doth not he that giveth a Thief his Purse, consent himself to it, and make it his own act to save his life? |
| A27032 | Doth not this shew you, that you are not so good, but that the Churches of godly Pastors are as worthy of your Communion, as you are of theirs? |
| A27032 | Doth this disputing satisfie any sober enquirer after truth? |
| A27032 | False again: I have no such words that ought of my Sermon had any impression on her? |
| A27032 | For Chastisements are threatned to them, and to the societies that they defile? |
| A27032 | For how is it possible for me to know what is said of him to all others, in every distant place and corner? |
| A27032 | Hath God promised it to all or most that shall be saved? |
| A27032 | Hath a free- agent less Power to receive Grace, than a marble to receive the engraving of the work- man? |
| A27032 | Hath a man no more Receptive Power than a block or stone? |
| A27032 | Have I written for the Millenary Opinion, as earnestly and openly as Mr. Mead hath done? |
| A27032 | Have we not power to eat and to drink? |
| A27032 | Have we not power to lead about a Sister, a Wife, as well as other Apostles? |
| A27032 | He hath not spoken to any considerable number of them: And of those few that he speaketh to, try if you can find any one of which he cleareth himself? |
| A27032 | His third Reason: Because Parish Ministers consent to silencing and persecution, by open consent or pernicious silence? |
| A27032 | How can he judge of the various Readings of all the rest of the Copies, which he never saw? |
| A27032 | How directly do you set your self against the way of the Spirit of God? |
| A27032 | How far he proceedeth in his separation, and how far he would draw poor unstable souls? |
| A27032 | How like his own Spirit is to that which he accounteth the Spirit of imposition and persecution? |
| A27032 | How many Texts be there that intimate that the Churches long( without a prohibition) held communion with the erronious judaizing Christians? |
| A27032 | How many notorious false doctrines he hath delivered? |
| A27032 | How many other notorious Crimes in two Libells he hath committed? |
| A27032 | How many score notorious untruths he shamelesly publisheth in these two Libells? |
| A27032 | How many volumes of the old Non- conformists give you this Answer? |
| A27032 | How much he fighteth against Repentance, and so with gross Impenitency aggravateth all his crimes? |
| A27032 | How much of the very same Spirit is in Church- dividers, with that which they most condemn in others: Why then do you not separate from your selves? |
| A27032 | How oft have I urged you to prove, that our publick Parish Ministers whom I advise men to hear, do Impose any more than you your self do? |
| A27032 | How shall men know which Translation is truest;( when none is perfect?) |
| A27032 | How that thus you make all or most, or very many of Gods Servants, such as deserve to be hated of all? |
| A27032 | How then can you say they unduely enter into the Ministry? |
| A27032 | I askt you, whether the Parliament, nor the chief Speakers in it, nor the Earl of Essex, nor Cromwell did no more? |
| A27032 | I challenge you if you can to prove any corruption in the Churches in question, which is not consistent with the essence? |
| A27032 | I still approve of all the words of mine which you recite? |
| A27032 | I think I could prove their sin as effectually as you can: But must we separate from all sinners? |
| A27032 | If I had called you a wise, a calm, a sober and charitable man, when I had no evidence of the contrary, how can you prove that this had been a lie? |
| A27032 | If a Translation will serve him to judge of the various readings in the Original, are they not in the Translation fore- judged of to his hand? |
| A27032 | If all the Church apostatized, how shall we know that Apostates did not corrupt all the Copies of Scripture that are come down to us? |
| A27032 | If he must see all, who is he or she in the world that can be certain? |
| A27032 | If it be false doctrine( as undoubtedly it is) I further ask, whether it was the spirit of God, or Satan that was the Author of it? |
| A27032 | If it be true, that thus he did( which is mentioned as no rarity) should you not rather take part with God than him? |
| A27032 | If it did( as sure it did) what could it be less than Melancholy? |
| A27032 | If not, can they judge of that they never heard? |
| A27032 | If not, why do you ask it? |
| A27032 | If one should admonish one of your Church- members of one single deliberate avowed lye, would you not call him to Repentance? |
| A27032 | If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? |
| A27032 | If she did know, why doth she falsly call it an untruth, that she imposed it on her self? |
| A27032 | If she knew not what she did, why is she angry for being thought Melancholy,( which is many a Godly persons case?) |
| A27032 | If so, must all wicked men do so? |
| A27032 | If so, then what certainty can we have of the truth of any of their Prophecies, if they may speak falsly to us in the name of God? |
| A27032 | If the Truth of God hath more abounded through my Lye unto his Glory, why yet am I also judged as a sinner?] |
| A27032 | If they must see but one Copy, how shall he know that it is the Truest Copy that falleth into his hands, and that all that differ from that are false? |
| A27032 | If they must see many, who knows how many and which? |
| A27032 | If to all; where is the promise? |
| A27032 | If to none, may they not all erre? |
| A27032 | If to some, how shall we know them? |
| A27032 | If you do, are they ever the wiser as to know of themselves which of them is the right? |
| A27032 | If you do, how unfit are you to be believed of any that know no better what is credible in a matter of fact? |
| A27032 | If you do, why should you be so malignant as to question the assertion of it, and so loth to grant it? |
| A27032 | If you have read them, why would you say you Fear, which signifieth uncertainty? |
| A27032 | If you never read them, is it modesty to despise them? |
| A27032 | If you never read what is written by Mr. Mead, Dr. Twisse, Mr. Archer,& c. Did you never read any Pamphlets within these thirty years that say more? |
| A27032 | If you never read what lrenaeus, Lactantius and others of old held? |
| A27032 | If you read them not, why would you not use a visible means to discuss your fears, before you divulged them? |
| A27032 | If you would, why did you not take an answer when I gave it you; nor so much as mention it, as if you read it not, when you call for another? |
| A27032 | In your Writings you do highly approve of that which was the worst part of the change, the setting up of Cromwell to he Protector? |
| A27032 | Is Neutrality and Vncertainty the most earnest and open asserting of a doctrine? |
| A27032 | Is any man Infallible in Translating? |
| A27032 | Is every man Proud, that is not Mad? |
| A27032 | Is it all one to say, that[ by Flesh is meant not only Indwelling sin, and to say It is not meant at all?] |
| A27032 | Is it by Inspiration from Heaven, such as the Prophets had, that the true Reading must be known? |
| A27032 | Is it not Gods direction to us, to take him for a false Prophet who prophesieth that which cometh not to pass? |
| A27032 | Is it now come to that? |
| A27032 | Is it pride only to differ from you, and to write against your judgement? |
| A27032 | Is it that the Pope pretendeth to be a Political Head? |
| A27032 | Is it the King and Parliament, or the Bishops whose Impositions have this sad effect? |
| A27032 | Is it the number corrupted that must decide the case? |
| A27032 | Is not Honesty among these men become a word of a new signification? |
| A27032 | Is not Impenitency a greater Reproach to us, in the eyes of those by whom we suffer, than our Repentance would be? |
| A27032 | Is not every Minister of Christ a publick person? |
| A27032 | Is not his Writing published by himself? |
| A27032 | Is not sin odious whereever it is found? |
| A27032 | Is not that our own doing which we give a reason of, and say that we did it through fear? |
| A27032 | Is not the honour of the Spirit of God more tenderly to be preserved than his, or yours, or mine, or any mans? |
| A27032 | Is not this a concession that some part is so judged of? |
| A27032 | Is not this a fine man to dispute with? |
| A27032 | Is not this like the Hypocrites to blow a Trumpet before, and to do your actions that they may be seen of men? |
| A27032 | Is the whole Church any thing besides the particular members? |
| A27032 | Is there a promise of Infallibility to them? |
| A27032 | Is there a word in Acts 15. to forbid all Church communion with those that taught even this subverting false doctrine? |
| A27032 | Is there any falshood in all this? |
| A27032 | Is there any other matter? |
| A27032 | Is there no Gathered Churches( as they are called) that have one Railing woman in, or one Covetous person? |
| A27032 | Is this Conscience scrupulous of Communion with us Publicans and sinners? |
| A27032 | Is this only to declare your humility? |
| A27032 | Is this to approve the setting up of Cromwell to be Protector? |
| A27032 | It may be it may be a rich or powerful man, that will persecute or divide the Church if he be cast out? |
| A27032 | It may be so: But will that do your work, and hold at last? |
| A27032 | It s a wonder that corrupted nature should be so eager to have companions in sin, when it doth but tend to its own confusion? |
| A27032 | Let me ask you one question more; Is it necessary to Salvation that men be able to read? |
| A27032 | Let us next see Whether there be no way but separation in our Case, to preserve our liberty? |
| A27032 | Let your followers mark what Spirit you are of, if you are resolved not to know your self? |
| A27032 | May not a good man, yea, a true Prophet, be sometime mistaken? |
| A27032 | May not many Prophets truly foretell things to come, and yet those things be a long time suspended and delayed because of the sins of the people? |
| A27032 | May not this man as modestly charge Bishop Downame to be a Papist, that hath written so much to prove the Pope to be Antichrist? |
| A27032 | May not we Repent? |
| A27032 | Mead, Dr. Twisse, Mr. Baily, Mr. Porter,& c. that did more than favour it? |
| A27032 | Must all these be separated from( that is almost all the Pastors in the World;) And is there no remedie? |
| A27032 | Must he see all Translations that shall judge? |
| A27032 | Must he that shall be certain see all the various Copies, or will it serve turn to see some one only? |
| A27032 | Must it be once obeying or continual? |
| A27032 | Must that Church needs be separated from? |
| A27032 | Must they all leave their flocks to come up to London to do it? |
| A27032 | Must we not loath our selves for it? |
| A27032 | Name the Law that is against the Opinion of the desirableness of a holy Government of all the world? |
| A27032 | Name the person that ever suffered for that Opinion? |
| A27032 | Nay did I ever write or speak one word for it? |
| A27032 | O but, you will reply, Is not this like Hypocrites, to do your actions to be seen of men? |
| A27032 | O what a blinding thing is selfish partiality? |
| A27032 | Of all the silenced Ministers in London or England, how small a number is there that have[ sharply reproved] the silencers? |
| A27032 | Of the Possibility of salvation for some called Papist? |
| A27032 | Or at least, why may not the Pope be said to lay such a claim? |
| A27032 | Or can you believe that Christ was not usually or often present there? |
| A27032 | Or dare you charge them with hypocrisie, as if they spake not as they thought? |
| A27032 | Or did you dream that the Arminians hold all that the Jesuits hold? |
| A27032 | Or did you dream that the Arminians hold all that the Jesuits hold? |
| A27032 | Or do they receive what they can not receive? |
| A27032 | Or do you yet take your self to be no sinner? |
| A27032 | Or is all this on presumption, that his Reader will not know what I have said? |
| A27032 | Or is it that he claimeth to be a Spiritual Head or Governour? |
| A27032 | Or must they every one publish his reproof in Print? |
| A27032 | Or nothing but what God commanded? |
| A27032 | Or what opportunity hath he to know all their members crimes, and to admonish them? |
| A27032 | Or who but a murderer will on pretence of curing, be a divider and dissolver? |
| A27032 | Pool''s Vox clamantis, and Mr. Stukeley''s Book, and judge accordingly of others? |
| A27032 | Shall he see the Autographs or only the Transcripts? |
| A27032 | Shall he that by the Book alone can resolve all these doubts, see it in the Original, or only in Translations? |
| A27032 | Should not such temptation and sin be carefully watcht against? |
| A27032 | Should they not be the Lights of the world, that can not and should not be hid? |
| A27032 | Sir, I am ashamed to spend time- upon such triflings? |
| A27032 | Sir, Was it true or false? |
| A27032 | Sure it is one thing to say, God saith this, or binds you to this, or forbids you this? |
| A27032 | Sure the Licensers are not so bad men, as to prove all dishonest whose Books they License? |
| A27032 | That I do with my industry and cunning labour to overthrow our foundation: Hath this man written more for the foundation than those three Books? |
| A27032 | That I glory that I am accounted the Ishmael of the age( which is intimated in the question) or boast of mens contradiction? |
| A27032 | That men can yet take that for the reforming way, which hath destroyed Reformation, and brought us into all the confusions we are in? |
| A27032 | The charge of Hypocrisie for joyning in what we approve not? |
| A27032 | The former Non- formists said, The filth of nature can not be sufficiently spoken of? |
| A27032 | The question is not, whether I be so regardable, as to be worthy notice? |
| A27032 | The question that I spake to was only[ Whether I was as guilty in stirring up and fomenting that War as any one whatsoever?] |
| A27032 | Therefore I hope you are gratified ▪ and who will now contradict you? |
| A27032 | This is another visible falshood in matter of fact: Alas Brother, that you should no more heed what you read or write? |
| A27032 | This is yet more than the former: Alas, have you cast off all heed what you say, and all common modesty in your reports? |
| A27032 | To set up and pull down, do and undo, own and disown, as by the Spirit of God? |
| A27032 | To whom is it that you would have all the Countrey Ministers speak against our silencing? |
| A27032 | Was Mr. Archer but Neutral? |
| A27032 | Was Mr. Mead, and Dr. Twisse but Neutral? |
| A27032 | Was it a blot on Dr. Owens honesty that his Books are Licensed? |
| A27032 | Was not Arminius himself against Prelacy and Ceremonies? |
| A27032 | Was not Nathan deceived, when he encouraged David to build the Temple? |
| A27032 | Was not Samuel so, when he took Eliab to be the Lords anointed? |
| A27032 | We have been used to call that Government Spiritual, which is done by the Word and Church Keyes, and consequently the Governours Spiritual? |
| A27032 | Well, but what is the crime that maketh our Communion unlawful? |
| A27032 | Were all the Non- conformists of one mind about Arminianisme? |
| A27032 | What Authority are these statutes of? |
| A27032 | What bitter enmity is here exprest against the Principles of Love, and Vnity, and Concord, and Peace, and Sobriety it self? |
| A27032 | What eyes then have you that can not see that which I copiously and expresly speak? |
| A27032 | What if Aurelian or Dioclesian forbid Church- assemblies: will once obeying them nullifie all the Churches, or make their Communion unlawful? |
| A27032 | What if God Record even good mens sins, and tell a David what evil they should bring upon his house? |
| A27032 | What if another E. B. were among them and should say, How proud are you to expect that we should all regard your words, as if you were our Pole- star? |
| A27032 | What if erroneously it be imposed on the Church to meet at an inconvenient time or place? |
| A27032 | What if it be Imposed on the Church, to use a Translation of the Bible that hath some errour in( And is there any without?) |
| A27032 | What if some flaw or errour in Chronologie on smaller- matters, were in their imposed Confession, which the Pastour erroneously subscribeth to? |
| A27032 | What if the Presbyterians think the Independents way of entrance to be undue? |
| A27032 | What mean you then to tell me of a change? |
| A27032 | What means is there left in the world to exempt a man from the malignant calumnies of this Judge of the Churches? |
| A27032 | What more apparent than that the consequent should be but this? |
| A27032 | What need is there of learning reason, sobriety or modesty to enable any man to dispute and seem Orthodox at this rate? |
| A27032 | What not sanctified Free- will? |
| A27032 | What, a Head without a Body? |
| A27032 | When I had set down at least thirty three Vntruths which he deliberately dared to write and publish, did you ever read such a pittiful vindication? |
| A27032 | When a Church is to be separated from for approving sin? |
| A27032 | When it is much of the sense of the three first and greatest Petitions in the Lords prayer? |
| A27032 | When many Copies so much differ as they do, is it not certain that some of them erred? |
| A27032 | When the world rings of it? |
| A27032 | When we are freed from the Condition of the Law of Works, is Repentance become so intollerable and hard a Condition? |
| A27032 | When you might have come to a certain knowledge? |
| A27032 | When you said you had done, will you not have done writing untruths? |
| A27032 | Where did I ever deny any Activeness? |
| A27032 | Where did I say, that men of the judgement of Peter or Paul, of Augustine or Prosper, wrote against me? |
| A27032 | Whether I approved of setting up Cromwell to be Protector? |
| A27032 | Whether I disclaimed any Activeness in the first War? |
| A27032 | Whether Mr. E. B. be a Seeker, and separate from all Churches, as well as from all Parochial? |
| A27032 | Whether all Christian liberty must be maintained? |
| A27032 | Whether all they whose sin brings Judgements, must be hated of all and killed? |
| A27032 | Whether calling Dividers to Repent,& c. be to make them odious? |
| A27032 | Whether every untruth be a lye? |
| A27032 | Whether he be an Hypocrite, who joyneth with any manner of Worship which he approveth not? |
| A27032 | Whether if we separate not we sell the truth about Christs Soveraignty? |
| A27032 | Whether it is an indispensible duty to maintain all our Christ ● an liberty, or what? |
| A27032 | Whether my Actions be noted, is a matter of fact? |
| A27032 | Whether no Church may be communicated with that is not such as Christ called and designed it to be? |
| A27032 | Whether not separating be prejudicial to a fundamental, viz Christs Soveraignty? |
| A27032 | Whether the true Reading and uncorruptness of particular Texts be sufficiently known by the light of the Scripture alone? |
| A27032 | Whether there be little difference between persecuting, and not sharply reproving it? |
| A27032 | Whether there be no way but separation, to preserve our Christian liberty? |
| A27032 | Whether to be present where things are used in Gods Worship which he commanded not, be a sin? |
| A27032 | Which are the Laws? |
| A27032 | Which are wounded and torn by such Reformers? |
| A27032 | Which of them is it that the man would have me grieve for grieving? |
| A27032 | Who can tell where to find this Proteus? |
| A27032 | Who is it now that prejudiceth fundamentalls? |
| A27032 | Who is there that will deny that A holy and Righteous Government in the hands of holy and righteous men, would be a blessing to the world? |
| A27032 | Who talkt of the whole? |
| A27032 | Who were the great Antiadiaphorists in Germany, but Iliricus, Amsdorsius, Gallus and other Lutherans? |
| A27032 | Who will plead for Oppression? |
| A27032 | Why do you refuse the imputation of your own Untruths, if you have not the least free- will to forbear them? |
| A27032 | Why doth not the doing it without constraint( as is said) make it as unlawful as obedience? |
| A27032 | Why may not I in my travail communicate with a Church whose members and Discipline I know not? |
| A27032 | Why then do you write two invectives to cure their esteem of me? |
| A27032 | Why then might they not do so to his? |
| A27032 | Why then will he publish that which himself supposeth to be my glorying? |
| A27032 | Why will not obeying a Minister or de ● ● ver make it as unlawful as obeying a King? |
| A27032 | Why would you no more regard your reputation, than to recite such a passage as this? |
| A27032 | Will all this experience teach us nothing? |
| A27032 | Will any Christian charge this doctrine to be erroneous? |
| A27032 | Will you communicate with none that holdeth any thing( yea any errour) which the Jesuits hold? |
| A27032 | Will you end as you begun? |
| A27032 | Will you teach men to say against Gods command, I must not be so Proud as to think that my example will be observed or regarded? |
| A27032 | Will your Reader doubt whether you should repent of such things as words of Impudency unbeseeming a man of understanding? |
| A27032 | Will your followers still believe such an open self- contradicting false accuser? |
| A27032 | Yea or ever heard them speak for themselves? |
| A27032 | Yea or that knew these particular Books were the same that the Apostles wrote, without alteration, till some one told it them? |
| A27032 | Yea, how few even of the strictest separating Churches are they, that neglect not Discipline upon some one person? |
| A27032 | Yea, or Aaron that made the Golden Calf? |
| A27032 | You deny not that your Brother Powel was mistaken? |
| A27032 | You grant that we are not to have Communion with a Diocesane Church as such, and that we are not to own Diocesane Bishops? |
| A27032 | You tell us anon that Prophets, Nathan, Samuel, and good men have been mistaken? |
| A27032 | You — will not be beholding to an Act of Indempnity, but stand upon your Innocency? |
| A27032 | [ There being but little difference in the sight of God,& c.] And what should I do with you, when you cast me into such a streight? |
| A27032 | and did he believe himself, or could he possibly believe himself, that I approved of the setting up of Cromwell to be Protector? |
| A27032 | and how? |
| A27032 | and is to be vehemently desired, and sought by just and lawful means? |
| A27032 | and many of his followers? |
| A27032 | and must we not Repent, if we will be forgiven? |
| A27032 | and one which he mentioneth and wrote against himself? |
| A27032 | and so Christ had no Church, and was no Christ? |
| A27032 | and so advance my reputation? |
| A27032 | and so of the rest? |
| A27032 | and such like? |
| A27032 | and that he contradicted his own Soveraignty? |
| A27032 | and that you are the fittest man to be the accuser of them? |
| A27032 | and the Anabaptists of them both,& c. Must they all therefore warm all men not to hear each other? |
| A27032 | and what a plague his numbring the people brought on his Kingdom; and so of others? |
| A27032 | and whether it must be separated from? |
| A27032 | and which so many have publickly preached against, both formerly and of late? |
| A27032 | and yet be a perfect Saviour? |
| A27032 | but whether de facto any do note what I do? |
| A27032 | not a Receiving obediential power? |
| A27032 | or Impressions? |
| A27032 | or any form besides the Relation of the particular members? |
| A27032 | or from all that sin in their entrance into the Ministry? |
| A27032 | or impose this or that Metre or Tune on them in singing of Psalms? |
| A27032 | or no great sinner? |
| A27032 | or say any thing else that he hath list to say? |
| A27032 | or that you speak evil of the Books which you never read? |
| A27032 | or they that lose more of their Love, than of their Liberties? |
| A27032 | or to ordinary( at least sanctified) Reason by evidence in the Text it self? |
| A27032 | or whether he give us cause to believe that God hath revealed more to him than to them, while he himself can no better reveal it unto others? |
| A27032 | or will one serve( as aforesaid) And how shall he judge of those he seeth not? |
| A27032 | so they hold the same with all Christians, that there is a God, and a Christ and the Scripture true? |
| A27032 | that after twenty years such doleful experience, we will not confess the sinfulness of our divisions? |
| A27032 | that is, because it sinneth not through disability, but negligence or wilfulness? |
| A27032 | the Cross, and in the other[ he despised the shame]( for so two of them do differ:) how shall he prove which Printer erred? |
| A27032 | what Copies most perfect? |
| A27032 | what Oath is it that you mean? |
| A27032 | what none? |
| A27032 | what words are false Printed, and what right? |
| A27032 | when he sent out Judas himself, who was first a Thief and after a Traytor? |
| A27032 | where then is the insignificancy of these words? |
| A27032 | which are the Statutes in force? |
| A27032 | which of these is the non- sense? |
| A27032 | which so many Books accuse me of? |
| A27032 | who dissenteth from you in this? |
| A27032 | yea, and when in the same paragraph you are renewing the same sin? |
| A26872 | Am I C ● nverted, or am I not? |
| A26872 | And alas, must we lose our friends, and must they lose their God, their happiness, their souls for want of this? |
| A26872 | And are all these ready to receive thee, and yet art thou not ready to come in? |
| A26872 | And can you think he cares not whether his ends be accomplished, and whether we do the work that we are made for? |
| A26872 | And do I conquer all gross sins, and am I weary, and willing to be rid of mine infirmities? |
| A26872 | And do I still find thee doing the work of sin, and sleeping out thy life in negligence? |
| A26872 | And do you not easily perceive it to be true? |
| A26872 | And do you think that he hath any Pleasure in this? |
| A26872 | And do you think that this is a pleasant thing to us? |
| A26872 | And hath God made so glorious a habitation, and set man to dwell in it, and made all his servants, and now doth he look for nothing at his hands? |
| A26872 | And how can the Holy Ghost be our Sanctifier, if God be so indifferent whether we be clean or unclean? |
| A26872 | And how else will you know when the world is good or bad but by this? |
| A26872 | And how quickly will that day and hour come? |
| A26872 | And if the sin of the Devils deserved an endless torment, why not also the sin of man? |
| A26872 | And if your Brethren see you everlastingly in misery, how shall they pitty you that were your own destroyers, and would not be disswaded? |
| A26872 | And is God ready, the Sacrifice of Christ Ready, the Promise Ready, and Pardon Ready? |
| A26872 | And is God the dearest and the Highest in my soul? |
| A26872 | And is there a heart in man, in a reasonable creature, that can once refuse such a Message, such a Command, such an Exhortation as this? |
| A26872 | And make thee send to beg their prayers whom thou didst despise in thy presumption? |
| A26872 | And should all this be forgotten? |
| A26872 | And then how soon will thy mind be changed? |
| A26872 | And then whose shall all those things be that you have gathered? |
| A26872 | And we tell you nothing but the truth which you must know: for who will seek out for Physick that knows not that he is sick? |
| A26872 | And were you not commanded to seek first Gods Kingdom and Righteousness, and promised, that other things should be added to you? |
| A26872 | And when I sin, is it against the very habitual bent and design of my heart? |
| A26872 | And when they polluted his Altar, and made the Table of the Lord contemp ● ible, they durst say Wherein have we polluted thee? |
| A26872 | And who is it long of now but your selves? |
| A26872 | And why did he so long support thy life, but to see when thou wouldst bethink thee of the folly of thy waies, and return and live? |
| A26872 | And why should not the certain Word of God be believed by you, and prevail with you, which openeth to you these glorious and eternal things? |
| A26872 | And why should not you do so, that have Heaven opened to your faith, if you had but faith to see it? |
| A26872 | And why then should you not think so of the Threatning of an endless and unspeakable misery? |
| A26872 | And why will you not now be of the mind that you will be of then? |
| A26872 | And why will you not? |
| A26872 | And will that be any ease or comfort to you? |
| A26872 | And will you be worse then Devils to your selves? |
| A26872 | And will you do that against your selves which no one else can do? |
| A26872 | And will you set your selves to your own destruction? |
| A26872 | And with what Love and Ioy might we live among you? |
| A26872 | And yet art thou not Ready? |
| A26872 | And yet art thou not resolved to Turn? |
| A26872 | And yet art thou unready? |
| A26872 | And yet will you blame the absolute Lord, the most wise and gracious Soveraign of the world if he condemn the Unconverterted to perpetual misery? |
| A26872 | And yet will you not be entreated to part with your sensual pleasures for your own salvation? |
| A26872 | Are all things ready, and are you unready? |
| A26872 | Are the matters which we were made for, and which we live for, too high for us to meddle with? |
| A26872 | Are you in love with Hell? |
| A26872 | Are you not able to go by an Ale- house door, or to shut your mouths and keep out the drink; or to forbear the company that hardneth you in sin? |
| A26872 | Are you not able to read good Books from day to day, at least on the Lords day, and to convers ● with those that fear the Lord? |
| A26872 | Are you wiser, and better, and righteouser then he? |
| A26872 | Art thou able to confute him? |
| A26872 | Art thou furnished with a sufficient answer? |
| A26872 | Art thou not ready to be saved from Hell, when thou art even ready to be cast remedilesly into it? |
| A26872 | Art thou not ready to lay hold on Christ that would deliver thee, when thou art even ready to drown and sink into damnation? |
| A26872 | Art thou not sometime convinced that all is not well with thee? |
| A26872 | Art thou ready to enter the lists? |
| A26872 | As you are convinced that you have no Reason to destroy your selves, so tell me what Reason have you to refuse to Turn, and live to God? |
| A26872 | At your death- bed, how boldly might we comfort and encourage your departing souls? |
| A26872 | BVT how cometh it to pass that men should be so unreasonable in the matters of their salvation? |
| A26872 | Be not these strange matters to many of you? |
| A26872 | Because there are many, will you be of that way that you may be sure is wrong? |
| A26872 | Behold sinners, we are set here as the Messengers of the Lord, to set before you Life and Death ▪ What say you? |
| A26872 | But I am no whoremonger, nor drunkard, nor oppressor, and therefore why should you call upon me to be Converted? |
| A26872 | But I mean nobody any harm, nor do no harm: and why then should God condemn me? |
| A26872 | But alas, what poor stuff, what nonsense instead of reason, do we daily hear from ungodly men? |
| A26872 | But are not all men sinners, even the best of you all? |
| A26872 | But do you not know that the means do lead unto the end? |
| A26872 | But if thou think God cares for thy body, canst thou think he cares not more for thy soul? |
| A26872 | But if you do believe this, how comes it to pass that you live so quietly in an unconverted state? |
| A26872 | But if you will cast it out by forgetfulness or unbelief, how can it work to your Conversion and Salvation? |
| A26872 | But is not your flesh preparing for its own displeasure also? |
| A26872 | But let us hear what reason you have, why you will not believe this word of God, which tells us that the wicked must be Converted or condemned? |
| A26872 | But perhaps you''l say, What if we should find our selves yet unconverted; what shall we do then? |
| A26872 | But what is it that you are afraid of losing if you Turn? |
| A26872 | But what will you do for pleasure when these are gone? |
| A26872 | But why is it that God will reason the Cause with man? |
| A26872 | Can I truly say that I am dead to the world and carnal self, and that I live for God and the Glory which he hath promised? |
| A26872 | Can it choose but torment you to think of this your present folly? |
| A26872 | Can the candle burn without the oyl? |
| A26872 | Can you be madder then you are already? |
| A26872 | Can you expect that they should have any mercy on others, ● hat have none upon themselves? |
| A26872 | Can you find any fault with God or his work, or wages? |
| A26872 | Can you give any Reason for it that is worthy to be called a Reason? |
| A26872 | Can you make so light of Heaven and Hell? |
| A26872 | Can you think that an unholy soul is fit for heaven? |
| A26872 | Can you truly say that you do as much as you are able to do? |
| A26872 | Can your houses stand without the earth to bear them? |
| A26872 | Christ standeth as it were by thee, with Heaven in one hand, and Hell in the other, and offereth thee thy choice; which wilt thou choose? |
| A26872 | Could you heartily laugh or be merry in such a state? |
| A26872 | Dare you stand to ever an one of these Reasons at the Barr of God? |
| A26872 | Dare you think that the Holy Ghost doth take upon him a needless work? |
| A26872 | Darest thou say that the Almighty Holy God is fain to rule the world by a Lie, and to deceive men into obedience? |
| A26872 | Darest thou say to him, I will not depend upon thee? |
| A26872 | Darest thou venture upon a dispute with God? |
| A26872 | Did God put in any exceptions against you in his word, when he invited sinners to return, and when he promised mercy to those that do return?] |
| A26872 | Did he forbid you to pray to him any more then others? |
| A26872 | Did he say,[ I will pardon all that repent except thee?] |
| A26872 | Did he shut you out from the liberty of his holy worship? |
| A26872 | Did the many opinions of the world hinder you? |
| A26872 | Did the sins of professors hinder you? |
| A26872 | Didst thou ever consider, upon what terms thou standest all this while with him that calleth on thee for to Turn? |
| A26872 | Didst thou never cry to him for help in thy distress? |
| A26872 | Do I flie from them as my deadly enemies? |
| A26872 | Do I give up my self to a life of Holiness and Obedience to God? |
| A26872 | Do I hate my former sinful life, and the remnant of every sin that is in me? |
| A26872 | Do I love it, and delight in it? |
| A26872 | Do I need to say any more to you? |
| A26872 | Do not you care what men say of you, or do to you? |
| A26872 | Do we use to shut up the door of Mercy against you? |
| A26872 | Do we use to tell you, that God will have no mercy on you, though you Turn and be Sanctified? |
| A26872 | Do you believe all this Sirs, or do you not? |
| A26872 | Do you know how to answer such a man, or do you not? |
| A26872 | Do you know that you are Converted? |
| A26872 | Do you make no matter of difference between a bad servant and a good? |
| A26872 | Do you not observe that dayes and weeks are quickly gone; and nights and mornings come apace and speed ● ly succeed each other? |
| A26872 | Do you not see that in the course of ● ature every thing is fitted to its use? |
| A26872 | Do you not think of that? |
| A26872 | Do you think in your Consciences that it would do you any harm to be Converted and live an holy life? |
| A26872 | Dost thou believe that God is the Governour of the world or not? |
| A26872 | Dost thou know what it is, that thou wouldst yet have more of it? |
| A26872 | Dost thou know what will be the end? |
| A26872 | Dost thou know whom thou disobeyest and contendest with, and what thou art doing? |
| A26872 | Dost thou not understand and feel this voice,[ Turn ye, Turn ye, Why will ye die?] |
| A26872 | Dost thou think God careth whether thou be a man or not? |
| A26872 | Dost thou think that God careth what becomes of thy body? |
| A26872 | Dost thou think that God is everywhere present, and infinite, and Al- sufficient? |
| A26872 | Dost thou think thou shalt still esca ● e the Iudgement of God? |
| A26872 | Doth God command all this ado, for a thing that he regards not? |
| A26872 | Doth it love to be tormented with the Devils for ever? |
| A26872 | Doth it love to stand trembling before his Bar, and to be judged to everlasting fire? |
| A26872 | Doth not it grudge within you, and tell you sometimes that all is not well, and that your case is not so safe as you make it to be? |
| A26872 | Doth not this turn thy heart within thee? |
| A26872 | For to what purpose should he warn you if you will not believe him? |
| A26872 | For what Communion hath light with darkness, or Christ with Belial? |
| A26872 | For what are all other lower Creatures for, but for man? |
| A26872 | For what must you Turn? |
| A26872 | Friend, how camest thou in hither, not having on a wedding garment? |
| A26872 | God asketh thee, Why wilt thou die? |
| A26872 | God or you? |
| A26872 | Ha ● h Heaven more of my Estimation, and Resolution, then Earth? |
| A26872 | Had not you the same teaching, and time, and liberty to be godly as your godly neighbours had? |
| A26872 | Had you not a better world to look after first? |
| A26872 | Had you the world to look after? |
| A26872 | Hadst thou rather I did burn there for ever then thou shouldst live soberly as other men do? |
| A26872 | Hast thou any Reason that satisfieth thine own conscience for it? |
| A26872 | Hast thou any thing which thou hast not received? |
| A26872 | Hast thou had so many calls, and so many mercies, and so many blows, and so many examples? |
| A26872 | Hast thou not as much reason to be ready to come, as God hath to invite thee, and bid thee welcome? |
| A26872 | Hath he not made thee and established thee? |
| A26872 | Hath not God as much authority over you? |
| A26872 | Have I a new design, and a new end, and a new train of holy affect ● ons? |
| A26872 | Have I deserved this unkind dealing at thy hand? |
| A26872 | Have I set my hopes and heart in heaven? |
| A26872 | Have I thankfully entertained my Saviour and Lord, that offered himself with pardon and life to my soul? |
| A26872 | Have you any good Reason to give, why you should not Turn, and presently Turn with all your hearts? |
| A26872 | Have you been thus born again and made anew? |
| A26872 | He hath done his part, and spared thee yet longer, and tryed thee another and another year: and yet dost thou not Turn? |
| A26872 | He hath much entrusted you with your own salvation: and will you betray your trust? |
| A26872 | He hath set you with all diligence to keep your hearts: and is this the keeping of them? |
| A26872 | How canst thou open it, and read a leaf, or hear a Chapter, and not perceive God bids thee Turn? |
| A26872 | How come they else to be such importunate Tempters of men: which we feel, alas, by too much experience? |
| A26872 | How diligent in hearing, and learning, and enquiring? |
| A26872 | How eager are the Devils to be doing with thee that have tempted thee ▪ and do but wait for th ● word from God, to take and use thee as their own? |
| A26872 | How earnest would you be with God in Prayer? |
| A26872 | How easily can he at any time say to thy guilty soul,[ Come away and live in that flesh no more till the resurrection] and it can not resist? |
| A26872 | How easily can he lay that flesh under gripes and groans, and make it too weak to hold thy soul, and make it more loathsom then the dung of the earth? |
| A26872 | How fearful of sinning in thought, word, or deed? |
| A26872 | How glad is he when he heare ● h thee revile the Minister that would draw thee from thy sin, and help to save thee? |
| A26872 | How long wilt thou hate thy friends, and love thine enemies? |
| A26872 | How low and base is your earthly, fleshly, sinful life, in comparison of the noble spiritual life of true Believers? |
| A26872 | How many years hath God looked for the fruits of Love and Holiness from thee, and hath found none? |
| A26872 | How many, how loud, how earnest, how dreadful, and yet what encourageing joyful Calls? |
| A26872 | How might we come to be truly converted? |
| A26872 | How resolutely would you scorn to yield to such temptations as now deceive you and carry you away? |
| A26872 | How serious in meditating on the Laws of God? |
| A26872 | How then can they live in that perfect love of him, and full delights, and Communion with him, which is the blessedness of heaven? |
| A26872 | How zealously would you bestir your selves for that most blessed life? |
| A26872 | I know this is not the first time that you have heard it; but how have you regarded it, or how do you regard it now? |
| A26872 | I will not be beholden to thee for the life and mercies of another day? |
| A26872 | I would ask you, Whether you would have the Rulers of the world to take no care what men say or do, or would you not? |
| A26872 | If God did not much regard our hearts and lives, why doth he make all the world to be our Servants? |
| A26872 | If God do not care so much what is in our hearts, or what we do, Why then would he make a Law for our hearts, and words, and ways? |
| A26872 | If I came hungry or naked to one of your doors, would you not part with more then a cup of drink to relieve me? |
| A26872 | If not, Who made thee, and preserveth thee? |
| A26872 | If not, then how comest thou by thy life, and health, and mercies? |
| A26872 | If not, why then should you think to be acquit for a course of sin against the Lord? |
| A26872 | If not; will you go on against Reason it self? |
| A26872 | If so, may I not say, thou art an unmerciful monster, and not a man? |
| A26872 | If the dreadfull God of Heaven be slighted, who then shall be regarded? |
| A26872 | If the inestimable Love and blood of a Redeemer be made light of, what then shall be valued? |
| A26872 | If the town were wilfully set on fire, you would ask, What wicked wretch did this? |
| A26872 | If they come from any other fountain- tell us from whence; Is it not to God that thou prayest for life and health? |
| A26872 | If this had been his delight, how easily could he have had thee long ago in Hell? |
| A26872 | If thou hadst any spiritual life and sense in thee, at least thou wouldst say, this Call is the dreadful voice of God, and who dare disobey? |
| A26872 | If thou hast, let us hear them; bring them forth, and make them good? |
| A26872 | If we saw a man killed and cut in pieces by the way, we would presently ask, Oh who did this cruel deed? |
| A26872 | If you can not tell the day or the week of your change, or the very Sermon that Converted you, yet do you find that the work is done? |
| A26872 | If you have a servant that robbeth you, will you take such an answer from him? |
| A26872 | If you saw a Lamb lie killed in the way, would you sooner suspect the sheep, or the dog, or woolf, to be the author of it, if they both stood by? |
| A26872 | If you think you have some reason to sin, should you not remember that death is the wages of sin? |
| A26872 | If you were to die this day, had you not rather die in the case of a Conveted man, then of the Unconverted? |
| A26872 | If you will commit again your old sins, what blessing can you expect on the means for your Conversion? |
| A26872 | If you will, why do you not? |
| A26872 | If your natural lives were in your own hands, that you should not die till you would kill your selves; how long would most of you live? |
| A26872 | Is a little drink, or meat, or ease, is the good words of sinners, is the riches of this world to be valued above the Joyes of heaven? |
| A26872 | Is an immortal soul of no more worth? |
| A26872 | Is eternal death a thing to be de desired? |
| A26872 | Is he a bad Master? |
| A26872 | Is it I, or is it Satan that is thy enemy? |
| A26872 | Is it I, or is it thy carnal self that would undo thee? |
| A26872 | Is it a Pleasure to him to see you go on in sin, and can not stop you? |
| A26872 | Is it an holy life, or a life of sin that thou hast cause to fly from? |
| A26872 | Is it evil to be like God? |
| A26872 | Is it harm to you to have the Spirit of Christ within you? |
| A26872 | Is it not a strange Thing which God doth seem here to suppose, that any man should be willing to die, and be damned? |
| A26872 | Is it not said that God made man in his image? |
| A26872 | Is it possible that a man can have any Reason to break his Masters Laws? |
| A26872 | Is it possible that a man can have any good reason to damn his own Immortal soul? |
| A26872 | Is it so good to thee? |
| A26872 | Is it thus indeed with me, or is it not? |
| A26872 | Is it to be saved, if you turn and be sanctified? |
| A26872 | Is it your friends? |
| A26872 | Is it your pleasures that you are afraid of losing? |
| A26872 | Is my heart broken or humbled within me for my former life? |
| A26872 | Is my heart now turned another way? |
| A26872 | Is my request unreasonable? |
| A26872 | Is not God worthy to be the Ruler of your flesh? |
| A26872 | Is not he thy Father that bought thee? |
| A26872 | Is not this the Truth of your case Sirs? |
| A26872 | Is that doing as well as you can, when you will not Turn to God, but your heart is against his holy and diligent service? |
| A26872 | Is the Devil whom you serve, a better? |
| A26872 | Is there any harm in an holy life? |
| A26872 | Is there ever a man or woman in this Assembly that is yet a stranger to the renewing sanctifying work of the Holy Ghost? |
| A26872 | Is there ever an Unconverted sinner that heareth these vehement words of God? |
| A26872 | It s God that must sanctifie your hearts; but who corrupted them? |
| A26872 | It seems then you take the word of God to be false, and then what will you believe? |
| A26872 | Let the Potsheards strive with the Potsheards of the earth; Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it; What makest thou?] |
| A26872 | Let the world which you served now pay your wages, and save you if it can? |
| A26872 | Like a man that was born blind, and hears an high commendation of the light: but what will bearing do, unless he see it? |
| A26872 | Many mercies have I shewed thee; for which of them dost thou thus despise me? |
| A26872 | Mark the Lords question[ Turn ye, Turn ye, Why will you die?] |
| A26872 | Might you not live a comfortable life, if once you were made the Heirs of Heaven, and sure to be saved when you leave the world? |
| A26872 | Must I be Converted or Condemned? |
| A26872 | Must infinite wisdom learn of folly? |
| A26872 | Must the Almighty stand at the Bar of a worm? |
| A26872 | Must the God of heaven come to School to you to learn wisdom? |
| A26872 | My desire is, that you should Hope and Trust in God: But for what is it that you will Hope? |
| A26872 | Nor would he punish the world with Hell hereafter, or so many dreadful judgements here, as thousands feel, if he cared not what they think or do? |
| A26872 | Not ready to be saved, when thou art even ready to be condemned? |
| A26872 | Now what are they possessing that Turned at Gods Call? |
| A26872 | Now what canst thou say in excuse of thy sin? |
| A26872 | O how easily will the light of that day confound and shame such reasonings as these? |
| A26872 | O my people what have I done unto thee? |
| A26872 | O what thoughts will shortly fill your hearts, with unspeakable Delight or Horrour? |
| A26872 | Oh blessed God, what a mercy is it that thou didst not cut off my life all this while, before I had any certain hope of eternal life? |
| A26872 | Oh why did I not look after this till now? |
| A26872 | Or any that thou darest own and plead at the barr of God? |
| A26872 | Or are they worth the suffering of Eternal fire? |
| A26872 | Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long- suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to Repentance? |
| A26872 | Or do you think you may not have company enough in Heaven? |
| A26872 | Or what course should be taken, that is liker to prevail? |
| A26872 | Or will you go to Hell in despight of Reason it self? |
| A26872 | Or will you not believe that God will execute his threatnings because they be so many that are guilty? |
| A26872 | Or would you have him bring you and your sins to heaven together? |
| A26872 | Or, Why they will rather die then Turn? |
| A26872 | SO earnest is God for the Conversion of sinners, that he doubleth his commands and exhortations with vehemency; Turn ye, Turn ye, Why will ye Dye? |
| A26872 | Shall every mole, or cold, or dung- hill, accuse the Sun of darkness, and undertake to illuminate the world? |
| A26872 | Shall the living God send so earnest a Message to his creatures, and should they not obey? |
| A26872 | Shall the voice of the Eternal Majesty be neglected? |
| A26872 | Should not your own souls be as dear to you as theirs to them? |
| A26872 | Should your flesh be pleased before your Maker? |
| A26872 | Sirs, are you resolved what to do? |
| A26872 | So when we read that the most will be firebrands of hell for ever, we must needs think with our selves, How comes this to pass? |
| A26872 | Some will think with themselves, It s true, the wicked must Turn or Die: but wh ● ●''s that to me? |
| A26872 | Tell me truly, as before the Lord, Though you are loath to live an Holy life, had you not rather die in the case of those that do so then of others? |
| A26872 | The Controversie or Question propounded to dispute of, is, Why wicked men will damn themselves? |
| A26872 | The Lord condescendeth to reason the case with Unconverted sinners, and to ask them, Why they will die? |
| A26872 | The Lord condescendeth to reason the case with Vnconverted sinners, and to ask them why they will die? |
| A26872 | The Lord condescendeth to reason the case with them, and asketh the wicked, Why they will die? |
| A26872 | The Lyon hath roared, who will not fear? |
| A26872 | The Priests that despised his name, durst ask, Wherein have we despised thy name? |
| A26872 | The voice of the Lord maketh the Rocks to tremble, Psalm 20. and is it nothing to hear him threaten thee, if thou wilt not Turn? |
| A26872 | Then how comfortably should we preach Absolution and Peace to you? |
| A26872 | Then is it better to be a Believing Saint, or a sensual Worldling? |
| A26872 | Then will you jear at them that warned you? |
| A26872 | These have come near thee, and made thee feel; they have made thee groan, and can they not make thee Turn? |
| A26872 | Thou art his own, and owest him thy self and all thou hast; and may he not Command his own? |
| A26872 | Turn ye, Turn ye, why will you die? |
| A26872 | Turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die O''house of Israel? |
| A26872 | Was I awake, or in my wits? |
| A26872 | Was ever such a change or work done upon my soul? |
| A26872 | Well Sirs, are you yet resolved, or are you not? |
| A26872 | Well Sirs, look inwards now and tell me, How are your hearts affected with these offers of the Lord? |
| A26872 | Were the Church- doors shut against you? |
| A26872 | What Reason hast thou to deny, or to delay? |
| A26872 | What answer did he make? |
| A26872 | What desires of your wel- fare did the Lord express in his holy word? |
| A26872 | What doth the earth but bear us, and nourish us? |
| A26872 | What harm can it do you? |
| A26872 | What hindered you, but the wickedness of your hearts? |
| A26872 | What iniquity have you found in me, that you have followed after vanity and forsaken me? |
| A26872 | What is there in the work that Christ calls you to, that should drive a man out of his wits? |
| A26872 | What is your resolution? |
| A26872 | What not Ready to live, when thou hast been dead so long? |
| A26872 | What now will you do Sirs? |
| A26872 | What reason have you willfully to perish? |
| A26872 | What sadder thing can you bring to their hearts? |
| A26872 | What saist thou, Unconverted sensual wretch? |
| A26872 | What say you yet Unconverted sinners? |
| A26872 | What say you, Sirs? |
| A26872 | What say you? |
| A26872 | What should be said more to you? |
| A26872 | What should one say to such men as these? |
| A26872 | What state is my soul in? |
| A26872 | What will you do if he take you once in hand? |
| A26872 | What will you do now? |
| A26872 | What will you do? |
| A26872 | What will you say if he begin in wrath to plead with you? |
| A26872 | What work will you be employed in? |
| A26872 | What would you have God say more to you? |
| A26872 | What would you have him do with his Mercy? |
| A26872 | When did you ever hear a Preacher say such a word? |
| A26872 | When shall it once be?] |
| A26872 | When the Lord had said, Cut it down; why cumbreth it the ground? |
| A26872 | When they weary the Lord with their words, they say, wherein have we wearied him? |
| A26872 | When you find it in the Word of God that so it is, and so it will be, do you think your selves fit to contradict this Word? |
| A26872 | Where were you when the Almighty made these Laws, that he did not call you to his counsel? |
| A26872 | Whether they have any sufficient reason for so doing? |
| A26872 | Whether thou be sick or well? |
| A26872 | Who can dwell with the everlasting fire? |
| A26872 | Who forced you to sin? |
| A26872 | Who is in the right now? |
| A26872 | Who is it that is so cruel as to be the cause of such a thing as this? |
| A26872 | Who is it that will have the worst of this? |
| A26872 | Who is it then that takes Pleasure in your sin and death? |
| A26872 | Who is it then that takes Pleasure in your sin? |
| A26872 | Who is it then that takes pleasure in mens sin and death? |
| A26872 | Who is it then that you Pleasure by your sin and death? |
| A26872 | Why are men so unreasonable and loth to Turn, and will destroy themselves? |
| A26872 | Why could you not if you would? |
| A26872 | Why did I venturously poste off, or flubber over so great a business? |
| A26872 | Why do all creatures serve thee with their labours and their lives, but that thou mightest serve the Lord of them and thee? |
| A26872 | Why doth he give thee time, and health, and strength, but for to serve him? |
| A26872 | Why doth the air afford thee breath, but to serve him? |
| A26872 | Why doth the earth bear thee but to seek and serve the Lord? |
| A26872 | Why hast thou Reason, but to Rule thy flesh, and serve thy Lord? |
| A26872 | Why hast thou an heart within thee that can love, and fear, and desire, but that thou shouldst fear him, and love him, and desire after him? |
| A26872 | Why hast thou an understanding soul, but to learn and know his will, and do it? |
| A26872 | Why hast thou meat, and drink, and cloathes, but for his service? |
| A26872 | Why have you not done it all this while? |
| A26872 | Why should God give thee a mind that can know him; and a heart that can love him, if he cared not whether thou know him, and love him or not? |
| A26872 | Why then could not you have been godly as well as they? |
| A26872 | Why then will you not become a sanctified people as well as they? |
| A26872 | Will any man purposely put arms into his enemies hands to resist him? |
| A26872 | Will not hell be as hot to you as to others? |
| A26872 | Will not such Answers as these confound and silence you? |
| A26872 | Will you Turn or Die? |
| A26872 | Will you Turn, or will you not? |
| A26872 | Will you be undone for company? |
| A26872 | Will you call your Maker to the Barr? |
| A26872 | Will you displease the Lord, and displease your Teachers, and your godly friends, and all to please your brutish appetites, or sensual desires? |
| A26872 | Will you do that which you have no Reason for? |
| A26872 | Will you fall upon this self examination when you come home? |
| A26872 | Will you resolve and promise to be at this much labour for your own souls? |
| A26872 | Will you wilfully take Poison because you can not cure your selves? |
| A26872 | Will you, or will you not? |
| A26872 | Wilt thou undertake to prove that God is mistaken, and that thou art in the right? |
| A26872 | Wilt thou yet go on and despise his word, and resist his Spirit, and stop thine ear against his Call? |
| A26872 | With this Nature or Corrupt inclination we are all now born into the world: For who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? |
| A26872 | Would God have done this, and appointed his Ordinances for your good, if he had taken Pleasure in your death? |
| A26872 | Would be so strictly forb ● d us sin, if he were indifferent, whether we sin or no? |
| A26872 | Would he command us that which he doth not care for? |
| A26872 | Would he have astonished Angels and men by his condescension? |
| A26872 | Would he promise eternal life to the holy and obedient, if he care not whether we be holy and obedient or no? |
| A26872 | Would you have him bring you to Heaven whether you will or no? |
| A26872 | Would you know the will of God? |
| A26872 | Wouldst thou forbear an hundred cups of drink man, to save my life if it were in thy power, and wilt thou not do it to save thy own soul? |
| A26872 | Yea let me tell you, that even here on earth, you little know the difference between the Life which you refuse, and the Life which you choose? |
| A26872 | Yet hast thou not had enough of sin? |
| A26872 | You can say, that the Holy- Ghost is your Sanctifier, but do you know what Sanctification is? |
| A26872 | You migh have said,[ To what end should I repent and turn, when it will do no good?] |
| A26872 | You would be ready to flie in the face of him that should give you the lie: and yet dare you give the lie to God? |
| A26872 | Your flesh is pleased with your sin: but is your conscience pleased? |
| A26872 | [ Do you thus requite the Lord O foolish people and unwise? |
| A26872 | [ Iudge I pray you betwixt me and my Vineyard: What could have been done more to my Vineyard, that I have not done in it? |
| A26872 | [ Wherefore do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labour for that which satisfieth not? |
| A26872 | a Son that would lay down his life for you, and a Son that longs for your death that he may have your Lands? |
| A26872 | after so many convictions, and gripes of Conscience: after so many purposes and promises, art thou not yet ready to turn and live? |
| A26872 | an obedient, and a disobedient child? |
| A26872 | and can you find this wonderful change upon your souls? |
| A26872 | and deliver the Sacraments which are the Seals of Peace to you? |
| A26872 | and didst thou not then understand that it was thy part to Turn and serve him if he would deliver thee? |
| A26872 | and doth not conscience tell thee that thou must be a new man, and take a new course, and often call upon thee to Return? |
| A26872 | and examine his Word upon the accusation of falshood? |
| A26872 | and how can you devise to grieve them more? |
| A26872 | and how careful to please God, and grow in Holiness? |
| A26872 | and infinite Goodness be corrected by a swinish sinner, that can not keep himself an hour clean? |
| A26872 | and reason to abuse the Lord that bought him? |
| A26872 | and reason to dishonour the Lord of Glory? |
| A26872 | and shall they therefore be acquit? |
| A26872 | and should not your soul and conscience be pleased before that corruptible flesh? |
| A26872 | and such a change indeed there is? |
| A26872 | and such as you never felt upon your selves? |
| A26872 | and that God hath by his righteous Law concluded that you must repent or perish? |
| A26872 | and that you have such hearts as are before described? |
| A26872 | and to have a cleansed purified heart? |
| A26872 | and to think what an everlasting life of Glory you wilfully despise and cast away? |
| A26872 | and what a bewitching and befooling thing is sin? |
| A26872 | and what can you say is the chief cause of your damnation, but your own Wills? |
| A26872 | and when he heareth thee curse, or swear, or rail? |
| A26872 | and wherein have I wearied thee? |
| A26872 | and who is it long of? |
| A26872 | and why do you not fall upon it yet? |
| A26872 | and would you not lay it to heart? |
| A26872 | and yet wilt thou now neglect it, and suffer us to return without our errand? |
| A26872 | are these such things as should make men mad? |
| A26872 | between a faithful friend and a deadly enemy? |
| A26872 | durst you live another day in it? |
| A26872 | hast thou not served the flesh and the Devil long enough? |
| A26872 | hast thou seen so many laid in the grave, and yet art thou not ready to let go thy sins and come to Christ? |
| A26872 | how can I find in my heart to disobey? |
| A26872 | is a life of worldliness and ungodliness better? |
| A26872 | it loves the bait, but doth it love the hook? |
| A26872 | nor care how he thinks, or speaks, or lives? |
| A26872 | of an holy and heavenly man, then of a carnal earthly man? |
| A26872 | or at least can there be a more dangerous madness, then to neglect your everlasting welfare, and wilfully undo your selves? |
| A26872 | or did you not keep away your selves? |
| A26872 | or fit and sleep, or hear as if you did not hear? |
| A26872 | or is the flesh a better? |
| A26872 | or so profitable for thee? |
| A26872 | or who did hold you back from Duty? |
| A26872 | or would you not rather be the more careful to enquire the way? |
| A26872 | that is, What dost thou in my Church among professed Christians, without an holy heart and life? |
| A26872 | to Praise the Lord with Saints and Angels, or to cry out in fire unquenchable with Devils? |
| A26872 | to see you merry, when you are not sure to be an hour out of Hell? |
| A26872 | to see you so miserable, and can not so much as make you sensible of it? |
| A26872 | to think what you must for ever suffer, because you will not Turn? |
| A26872 | when they were pricked in their hearts,& said, Men and Brethren, what shall we do? |
| A26872 | when thou hast been besides thy self so long? |
| A26872 | when wilt thou let go all and Turn, and deliver up thy self to God, and give thy Redeemer the possession of thy soul? |
| A26872 | whether thou live or die? |
| A26872 | which of them will you choose? |
| A26872 | why doth it afford thee its fruits but to serve him? |
| A26872 | will you Turn, or not? |
| A26872 | will you make or buy a Clock or Watch, and daily look to it, and not care whether it go true or false? |
| A26872 | will you sit upon him and judge him by the Law of your Conceits? |
| A26872 | would he threaten Hell to all that are ungodly, if he care not whether we were godly or not? |
| A26872 | ● nd that they should much stick at ● he destruction of others, that ● ● ck not to destroy themselves? |
| A27046 | & c. Why not an Oath of Allegiance to make one a Coblar? |
| A27046 | & c. and those that sell Perriwigs, Pide- silks and Ribbons? |
| A27046 | ( And had he proved it, is that a justification of the Liturgy?) |
| A27046 | 10. you seem to defend: and 1. you say[ What is this more, than some that writ for the Kings Cause in the late Wars professed?] |
| A27046 | ? |
| A27046 | A known falshood, if a Question may be false: What matter of Fact shall ever come to Posterity by such hands without falsification? |
| A27046 | A man that never saw me: why did he not cite Bishop Brambal''s proof? |
| A27046 | Alas, Brother, did you shew this to any man before you Printed it? |
| A27046 | Alas, how fell the good man under this temptation? |
| A27046 | Alas, will the good man turn Papist or Infidel, unless the Universal Church and a Diocesane have the same specifying difference, or formal Head? |
| A27046 | Am I therefore a Conformist? |
| A27046 | And I pray you, what number of Sinners must go to prove a Religion, Creed, or Articles false? |
| A27046 | And are all these Fathers and Christians damn''d? |
| A27046 | And are these his saving truths? |
| A27046 | And are you sure that your Conformists also are damned? |
| A27046 | And by what means shall any Church or Party under Heaven defend their Religion against such a Censurer and Disputant as you are? |
| A27046 | And can one and the same thing have two different Essences, beings, and definitions? |
| A27046 | And can you insist on such passages thus against your sight, when your Error is detected? |
| A27046 | And did not all my tedious writings convince you before now? |
| A27046 | And do not all Christians? |
| A27046 | And doth he say Yea, or Nay? |
| A27046 | And had the Text those contrary senses? |
| A27046 | And hath not he forsaken you also? |
| A27046 | And hath not the same Collect the same sense on the next days? |
| A27046 | And have you now vindicated the Doctrine of the chief Prelatists any better than by disowning them? |
| A27046 | And how came we to be less free than our Ancestors that made such Offices? |
| A27046 | And how long it was before the Christians had many considerable Schools, much less Universities? |
| A27046 | And how silly a shift is all this covered with? |
| A27046 | And if we are taken for intollerable Malefactors, is not undeceiving our Accusers and Haters a necessary means of Peace? |
| A27046 | And indeed, do you loath as much the altering of your Church Government as the Kings, and yet be loyal? |
| A27046 | And is Communicating in the Lords Supper all the Conformity that is scrupled? |
| A27046 | And is it hypocrisie then to say, I feared to displease you? |
| A27046 | And is it not credible that every man loveth himself, and is unwilling to be ruined? |
| A27046 | And is not that true? |
| A27046 | And is that no difference? |
| A27046 | And is that unequal? |
| A27046 | And is the Captain a Troop, or the Pastor a Church, if he be the gatherer of it? |
| A27046 | And is there no diversity in parte essentiae,( as in subalternis) where there is not a diversity in totâ essentia,( as there is in summis generibus?) |
| A27046 | And must Christ bear such a charge as well as I? |
| A27046 | And must you not Assent and Consent to all things in it? |
| A27046 | And next, why did you not prove that we hold those rebellious Genevian Principles? |
| A27046 | And our Question is not, what Party of Lads, or Apprentices, or Women did clamour against Bishops,? |
| A27046 | And quid inde? |
| A27046 | And so, whether the word Church here signifies but one Species? |
| A27046 | And this Talk needs a Confutation? |
| A27046 | And though I urge him, he will not answer what I said of the Question, Who shall judge whether the Minister be faithful? |
| A27046 | And was it possible that you should think that this made for you? |
| A27046 | And was that before the raising of the Army? |
| A27046 | And were you willing here to be understood? |
| A27046 | And what Doctrine is it to say, Christs Body is one; not as one is opposed to multitude, but to division and destruction? |
| A27046 | And what a jumble of swearing and unswearing would you have us make? |
| A27046 | And what else is it that we say, but the Using without Approving, satisfieth not the imposition? |
| A27046 | And what got the People by that scruple? |
| A27046 | And what if he can not be their Governour without their consent, doth this give them any part in governing? |
| A27046 | And what if they do? |
| A27046 | And what men the common Presbyters were; yea, and the Bishops for the most part? |
| A27046 | And what more necessary to unite us against the common Adversaries? |
| A27046 | And what need we more, were not the Parliament Lay- men? |
| A27046 | And what of that? |
| A27046 | And what saith he? |
| A27046 | And what temerity is it to feign men to wrong Christ by that which was his Institution, and so judged and used in all the Churches? |
| A27046 | And what then? |
| A27046 | And what then? |
| A27046 | And what''s all this to our Controversie? |
| A27046 | And when I never had a hand in putting any such men out, and have kept many of your Party in: What room after this for such a Question? |
| A27046 | And where should I begin but with the first? |
| A27046 | And who knoweth not that proximity is but dispositio materiae, and not the differencing form? |
| A27046 | And whose practice must it be that is the Exposition? |
| A27046 | And why must my Ministry lie on a thing beyond my knowledge? |
| A27046 | And why? |
| A27046 | And will true Conscience be convinced by such Arguments? |
| A27046 | And will you defend or own all that then was confessed by them? |
| A27046 | And will you so grosly dispute down Non- conformity? |
| A27046 | And would they also repent and change their minds, if they were alive? |
| A27046 | Anne putares? |
| A27046 | Answer, Is this proving? |
| A27046 | Answer, Still worse and worse: what Confusion is here? |
| A27046 | Are Conformists come to that? |
| A27046 | Are Presbyterians all for Excommunicating Kings? |
| A27046 | Are Rubricks of no use? |
| A27046 | Are not Bishops and Laicks partes heterogeneae? |
| A27046 | Are not Christ and Christians, the King and the Subjects of the Universal Church, partes heterogeneae, in esse politico relativo? |
| A27046 | Are not diversa distinguishable as well as opposita? |
| A27046 | Are not the words universal? |
| A27046 | Are not these words plain? |
| A27046 | Are not whole stones part of Mountains? |
| A27046 | Are such Doctrines of certain Faith no parts of the Book? |
| A27046 | Are they not Relative opposita? |
| A27046 | Are they not worthy to be silenced and branded as you have done, that can resist such Light? |
| A27046 | Are we guilty of that Mistake, who Take it, and Write for it? |
| A27046 | Are we not to do it in every partaking of the Lords Supper? |
| A27046 | Are we, I say, we now living, and silenced, answerable for all that any Presbyterian holdeth, any more than you are for what Hooker holdeth? |
| A27046 | Are your Logicks above my skill to answer? |
| A27046 | Are your ways here equal too? |
| A27046 | Are your words like Cyphers, that change their power by such additions? |
| A27046 | As if the King be contrary to himself, if his Kingdom and a Corporation or School be not of the same species? |
| A27046 | As to your doubt, whether England infected not Scotland? |
| A27046 | Barclay and Grotius make? |
| A27046 | But I pray you dream not, that I take all the old Ministry for such as these? |
| A27046 | But I think the King may not Administer Sacraments or Spiritual Discipline himself: Which of our Kings did it? |
| A27046 | But all your ways are just and equal: But I pray you, why was no Article about Excommunicating Kings offered us as a Test? |
| A27046 | But did they not increase and multiply? |
| A27046 | But do you believe therefore that there are no subordinate Species of Churches and Honour on Earth? |
| A27046 | But doth that prove that there are no subordinate Societies in these? |
| A27046 | But fie, Sirs, why will you talk of[ straining Oaths, and turning plain Oaths into Snares, ana ● allowing no Interpreters?] |
| A27046 | But how heedlesly do you read? |
| A27046 | But how long since after Edge- Hill Fight? |
| A27046 | But if Episcopal men are so unstable and simple to be drawn into such a War by a few Non- conformists, why do you not acknowledge it? |
| A27046 | But if all the Christian world be of the same mind, do they all set up Atheism, and are you only free? |
| A27046 | But if it must needs be so, I pray dispute no more against the Non- conformists, or dispute against them better by your Lives, than you have done? |
| A27046 | But is this the Question? |
| A27046 | But is this true? |
| A27046 | But it is not these Ends that will serve to prove a War lawful? |
| A27046 | But nobis non licet, Must we be Silenced and ruined for want of such Charity? |
| A27046 | But the Question is, Whether these be such? |
| A27046 | But what Party it was that raised the War? |
| A27046 | But what am I doing? |
| A27046 | But what good will it do the Reader, to have this mans Falshoods detected and numbred? |
| A27046 | But what if all this had been true? |
| A27046 | But what if the Bishop spake as falsely, as if he had said that I pleaded for Mahomet? |
| A27046 | But what if the first Non- Conformists erred? |
| A27046 | But what meant he to say[ should it be practised?] |
| A27046 | But what were the parts they had to act? |
| A27046 | But what''s all this to our Case in hand?] |
| A27046 | But what''s next? |
| A27046 | But what''s this to the Case? |
| A27046 | But where did the Lord Digby say it? |
| A27046 | But where is it that I said, that these honest Conformists sin avowedly, delaberately, and against knowledge? |
| A27046 | But where''s his proof? |
| A27046 | But who accused them? |
| A27046 | But why talk you of none being Interpreters? |
| A27046 | But will you falsly accuse the part that is good for the part that is evil? |
| A27046 | But you come to the quick, and say,[ Is there no Communion but personal? |
| A27046 | But( saith he) may not a man be a Shepherd by calling and occupation, unless he have a Flock, as well as a Physician? |
| A27046 | But, saith he, Why not à Church- Covenant for all other Duties? |
| A27046 | But, saith he,[ This makes against you — Can any man forbid these people from being Members of the Particular Church that are of the Universal?] |
| A27046 | Can you believe this? |
| A27046 | Can you not forbear this ill custome a few Lines together? |
| A27046 | Can you prove that I am for Silencing faithful Ministers, and making partition separating hedges in the Vineyard of Christ? |
| A27046 | Christ and a Bishop are heterogeneous: Yea, a Diocesane and a Parish- Priest: have you proved that they are not? |
| A27046 | Could it have been proved, would not the Duke of Buckingham have alledged it against his Adversaries? |
| A27046 | Could that be the Cause or Controversie which they were both agreed in? |
| A27046 | Did I? |
| A27046 | Did ever Christian before you, deny particular Churches to be distinct policies, and parts of the Universal? |
| A27046 | Did he not tell you that the Copy was interlined with Hookers own hand, as approving it? |
| A27046 | Did not even the Westminster- Assembly of old Conformists forsake it assoon as they could? |
| A27046 | Did not we live in the Country with them? |
| A27046 | Did such men as Dr. Twisse, Mr. Herle, Mr. Gataker, Mr. Vines,& c. want the Instruction of our present Lords, to make them wise enough to Conform? |
| A27046 | Did these Lads give the Earl of Essex his Commission? |
| A27046 | Did these satisfie him to Conform herein? |
| A27046 | Did they never read or hear what might be said for the New- Conformity? |
| A27046 | Did this prove me to be neither fish nor flesh? |
| A27046 | Did you ever know any put to death or burnt at a Stake for your Opinion? |
| A27046 | Did you not know till now, that the Nonconformists are not in all things of one mind? |
| A27046 | Did you think we must take your bare word in so great a case? |
| A27046 | Do I mai many Sentence? |
| A27046 | Do I pervert any? |
| A27046 | Do all or half the Non- conformists profess themselves Presbyterians? |
| A27046 | Do any Independents say that none are Christians but their special charge; yea, or stated Members of particular Churches? |
| A27046 | Do not Heathens abhor such Injustice as this? |
| A27046 | Do not men pay dearer for a place in a Play- house, than in the Church? |
| A27046 | Do not the Popish, Protestant, Episcopal, and Presbyterian, differ in the Form of Government? |
| A27046 | Do not those of the same Form differ as Individuals by their several Rulers? |
| A27046 | Do not you in Print proclaim men to be flesh or fish, hot or cold, that are not so? |
| A27046 | Do they think it enough to warrant their slanders of us, because one of their Archbishops hath slandered us before them? |
| A27046 | Do we forbid them that are not willing, or do they forbid themselves? |
| A27046 | Do we shut them out that will not come in? |
| A27046 | Do you intimate an Accusation against Many of them; and when I name almost all of that County neer you, will you absolve them all? |
| A27046 | Do you know that the Parliaments Adherents drew up a Catechism out of that Answer, as pretending to justifie all their Cause by it? |
| A27046 | Do you know what Discipline they were of at Prague? |
| A27046 | Do you mean in you or in me, or all others? |
| A27046 | Do you not Assent to that neither? |
| A27046 | Do you not tremble your self, when you question whether they be not gone to a worse place and revile us for the hopes of their Salvation? |
| A27046 | Do you resolve to cast away all Religion, if Christ and a Bishop be not the same informing regent parts of the Church Universal and particular? |
| A27046 | Do you say one word to prove your affirmation? |
| A27046 | Do you think that the Christian world, which hath ever been of the opinion which you detest, had never any Religion? |
| A27046 | Doth every one that after consenteth do more? |
| A27046 | Doth he not know that it is practised by them all? |
| A27046 | Doth he take such Arguments for unanswerable? |
| A27046 | Doth he that dishonoureth the University, deserve honour for being at the University? |
| A27046 | Doth it not imply, that you will take an Oath your self, if you judge but one part of it lawful? |
| A27046 | Doth it oblige only the first time? |
| A27046 | Doth not the extreme bold confidence of the falsest of his own conceptions, shew a very unhumbled overvaluing of his own understanding? |
| A27046 | Doth not this savour of Factious malignity? |
| A27046 | Doth the Act go to the Essence of the Object? |
| A27046 | Doth the Physician forbid them to be his Patients that consent not? |
| A27046 | Doth this suppose them ungodly before? |
| A27046 | Durst you swear that none of the Lords, or Commons, or Citizens meddled with the War, but those that entred into the Army? |
| A27046 | Either they were at Manhood, or in breeches at least, or not: If not, he should have chosen other Counsellers: If yea, were they Laymen or Clergymen? |
| A27046 | Enquire who drave away the People of Kederminster? |
| A27046 | Farwel the credit of all History, if there be no truer Historians:( But how shall Posterity know who they are?) |
| A27046 | For who can hold that which will away? |
| A27046 | Had he forgot how much of his Book is to prove even Bishops and Presbyters as widely different? |
| A27046 | Had he no pretence for it? |
| A27046 | Had it not been better for your to have let your Logick alone, than to bewray that which you might have concealed? |
| A27046 | Had the Martyrs been burnt, if men had been of this minde? |
| A27046 | Had they not Learning or Wit enough to understand it? |
| A27046 | Hath Christ a multitude of Bodies univocally so called? |
| A27046 | Hath Christ many Universal Churches containing all Christians headed by Christ? |
| A27046 | Have I so oft exprest it, and yet will you say so? |
| A27046 | Have there not since more( of the Laity) turned from you, than have turned to you? |
| A27046 | Have we so many Books written of Ecclesiastical Policie, and is there no such thing? |
| A27046 | Have you read him all, and understand him no better? |
| A27046 | Have you read the Kings Answer to the 19 Propositions? |
| A27046 | He addes,[ What shall godly Strangers, Travellers,& c. do? |
| A27046 | He saith,[ Why then do you blame turning Parish- Churches into Chappels, and making them but parts of a Diocesane, as a Troop of an Army?] |
| A27046 | He that refuseth Consent to be a stated Member, is none such: But is he therefore no Christian? |
| A27046 | He would 1. make it doubtful, Whether it was a Vow to God? |
| A27046 | Hearken whether they talk not more for Bishops, than for any other Sect? |
| A27046 | How came he to think that Election is nothing to the case, as if Consent were something more? |
| A27046 | How could you wink so hard, as not to see that your false witness confuteth it self? |
| A27046 | How did this bold man know my thoughts? |
| A27046 | How false is it then, that[ this is distraction and rage?] |
| A27046 | How far doth your hearing reach? |
| A27046 | How far will that hold? |
| A27046 | How few words of Truth, and soberness, and soundness, can you number among all these? |
| A27046 | How little truth is in all this, and abundance such? |
| A27046 | How long will you be of the Parish- Priests or the Diocesans Flock, or of a Physicians Hospital? |
| A27046 | How many of that Party have you known in such places of Trust? |
| A27046 | How shall the unlearned know when they are safe? |
| A27046 | I hope he doth not think all is excluded that is not to be named? |
| A27046 | I hope then a Bishop and a Presbyter are all one, that in your sorry sense agree in uno tertio? |
| A27046 | I know it is not But Cassander dealt more Candidly than you do Is there any thing that could be imposed, that would make you a Non- conformist? |
| A27046 | I know there are many excellent men: But I think the present Non- conformists as fit for the Sacred Office as these;( Is that presumption?) |
| A27046 | I left them out, because the Book could not be Licensed else: And should I not rather leave out a few Names, than cast away the whole Book? |
| A27046 | I mean, not as if All were such; but it hath been my hard hap to meet with few persons, even of Gentile Education, who ask me, Why do you not Conform? |
| A27046 | I never till now read or heard Papist, Protestant, or any Christian of his mind: And, alas, are divers of it now? |
| A27046 | I own that which you transcribe? |
| A27046 | I say, can I expect that such should be able or willing to understand us? |
| A27046 | I suppose you know, when the Test in the Corporation- Act was imposed, that Party were then turned out of all Corporation- power? |
| A27046 | I will not examine your Reasons: The King never made me his Confessor, nor put the question to me; Why then should I make my self a Judge of it? |
| A27046 | If Christ and a Bishop in esse relationis politicae differ essentially, must good and bad, Heaven and Hell be all one? |
| A27046 | If I give him no more than he is willing of, what do I put him out from? |
| A27046 | If I have disputed the Case by Reasons, Why did he not cite them, and tell where? |
| A27046 | If a Captain have commission to raise a Troop, is consent of the Listed needless? |
| A27046 | If by[ All] or[ None] I understand All or None, and you understand not All but Some, who is the Strainer of the Oath? |
| A27046 | If de re, do you mean any more than that he is authorized to gather and rule a Flock? |
| A27046 | If it be, dare you oppose it? |
| A27046 | If more, what is it? |
| A27046 | If not, how shall we know which words are useless? |
| A27046 | If not, is not one of them contrary to the Text? |
| A27046 | If not, tell us how we shall know what are parts of it, and to what we must consent? |
| A27046 | If our Preaching did no good to Souls, why should you think that yours does any? |
| A27046 | If so many in Queen Maries days were burnt for denying the Real Presence,& c. Shall I not fear Perjury? |
| A27046 | If so, is not[ conteined] an idle word when all men know that all that is prescribed is conteined? |
| A27046 | If so, you are men of no true Religion: If not, why expect you it from us? |
| A27046 | If the Materia Jurata be Lawfull, do you think that the unlawfulness of the other two, do leave no need of an Absolution? |
| A27046 | If there be any such, what''s that to me? |
| A27046 | If you can think so, why must all be silenced that think otherwise, and dare not be so bold? |
| A27046 | If you mean that indeed they do not, why would you not say so, and deal plainly? |
| A27046 | If you preach the same Gospel, why should you think so well of your own works above other mens? |
| A27046 | If you require me to write out all his Book, when ever I transcribe a part? |
| A27046 | In some places not two of the old staid in: And is it any wonder then, if none of that Party be in such Power? |
| A27046 | Is Christ''s Discipline against our highest Priviledges? |
| A27046 | Is Mr. Allen''s Book for Covenanting, and Mr. Rawlet''s of Sacramental Covenanting, such unchristening Heresies? |
| A27046 | Is a Positive and a Comparative Assertion all one?] |
| A27046 | Is a man and womans Consent needless, unless the Ministers marrying them be needless? |
| A27046 | Is he a compleat Pastor of a Flock that hath none? |
| A27046 | Is he not a Calumniator, unless he prove it? |
| A27046 | Is it Schism to say, That it is unlawful like Atheists to cease all Publick Worship of God, till Conscience can finde it lawful to Conform? |
| A27046 | Is it all the Christian world? |
| A27046 | Is it damnable or sinful to covenant to be a godly Servant, or a godly Husband or Wife, or a godly Minister or Magistrate? |
| A27046 | Is it so frightful a thing for me to say, I will be no Pastor to any that consent not, as to put you into talk of dying and burning at a Stake? |
| A27046 | Is no modesty or tender fear of sinning against the Ninth Commandment left? |
| A27046 | Is not Animal rationale a just definition of a man, without naming his Liver and Spleen, or Heart? |
| A27046 | Is not Conformity now another thing? |
| A27046 | Is not Consent then necessary to the imposed Pastor, if not consenting Unchristen men? |
| A27046 | Is not a whole hand or foot part of a whole man? |
| A27046 | Is not one Joshua Placaeus pro deitate Christi, worth all that ever was then wrote? |
| A27046 | Is not the Genus& differentia enough for a definition? |
| A27046 | Is not the mateial Universe made up of compounded parts? |
| A27046 | Is not your Superiour''s judgment imposed on you to Assent to? |
| A27046 | Is such Conformity tolerable, and our Preaching intolerable without it? |
| A27046 | Is that an unequal expectation? |
| A27046 | Is that the art of defining? |
| A27046 | Is the rest contradictory to this? |
| A27046 | Is there any part of the Universe if this be true? |
| A27046 | Is there no such thing as Personal Communion in presence, because there is such a thing as distant Communion of another sort? |
| A27046 | Is this fairly done, to pretend that to be the Controversie which I never undertook to meddle with? |
| A27046 | Is this it in which the Authority of Archbishops consisteth, that they must be followed in slanders? |
| A27046 | Is this lawful? |
| A27046 | Is this made by a Minister a heinous sin? |
| A27046 | Is this the equality of your way? |
| A27046 | Is this the usual sence of[ All things,& c.] If not, where have the Law givers given us another? |
| A27046 | It is a fallacy, A dicte secundum quid ad dictum simpliciter: I only askt you, What Farthing doth it take from their Estates? |
| A27046 | It is a wonder to me that an Englishman should be in doubt who they be that drive men from the Parish Churches? |
| A27046 | It is not one or two such men as are the Guides of Souls in England: But what? |
| A27046 | Judge by old experience: Were old Hildersham, Ames, Dod, and hundreds like them, brought to Conformity heretofore? |
| A27046 | Judge by present Experience: Why is it not done, if it be morally possible? |
| A27046 | Let those sober men pass by; Do such Houses want custome? |
| A27046 | May not a Town, Hospital, or Person, chuse a Physician as theirs if he were licensed be- before? |
| A27046 | May you not distinguish Army, and Regiment, and Troop, Kingdom and City, Christ and a Bishop? |
| A27046 | Most Christians live not according to the Christian Profession: Is the Christian Profession therefore bad, and the cause of all their Villanies? |
| A27046 | Must it be all, or the major part, or will any one serve? |
| A27046 | Must not Popery be renounced till you are all herein agreed? |
| A27046 | Must we all turn Papists upon your immodest naked saying, it is so? |
| A27046 | Must we judge all lawful, because our Guides do so? |
| A27046 | Must we write Books against such things as these? |
| A27046 | Must we write Histories out of mens secret thoughts and hearts, and call men only what they are conscientiously and in sincerity? |
| A27046 | Nay what if he can not baptize a Non- consenter, or give him the Lords Supper, is the Refuser a Church- governour? |
| A27046 | Next he aggravates this Injury: And who contradicteth him? |
| A27046 | Next he asks, How can any man know the right Church then? |
| A27046 | Next, he questioneth,[ Who shall degrade them that prove Heretical or Scandalous? |
| A27046 | Next, he quibbles onely with a Question[ How long shall it last?] |
| A27046 | Nor are we agreed of all forbidden in Gods Laws; Must we therefore forbear no sin? |
| A27046 | Nor hath now any? |
| A27046 | Nor no different species of the civil honour, what not to Kings, Parents, Masters? |
| A27046 | Nor the Bishops to silence Ministers that refuse such Conformity? |
| A27046 | Of the Wars I spake before: What other doth he name? |
| A27046 | Oportuit fuisse memorem? |
| A27046 | Or can I know who are capable till I know who consenteth? |
| A27046 | Or did we spring out of their Loins, and must be silenced for such Original sin, derived from them that were no kin to us? |
| A27046 | Or had they no Conscience living or dying? |
| A27046 | Or what if I vowed without the Command of any power? |
| A27046 | Or, whether the King of France be absolute? |
| A27046 | Our Question is, Whether Silencing, Fining, Imprisoning the Non- Conformists, be the way of Peace, and of the desired Concord of Protestants? |
| A27046 | Say you so; our Question is, Whether different Degrees in the subject may vary the species of Relations? |
| A27046 | Seaman,& c. did not consider what they did, neither in their Health, nor before their Death? |
| A27046 | Semper idem? |
| A27046 | Should I abuse the Reader by a particular Answer to them? |
| A27046 | Should we not have known them? |
| A27046 | So I perceive you would have me Conform that I may Preach: And what should I Preach against but Sin? |
| A27046 | So the Rubrick and the 39 Articless were the judgment of your Superiours: But are not they, and that Preface, parts of the Book? |
| A27046 | Still all alike; What? |
| A27046 | Suppose, so the Covenant hath some good? |
| A27046 | That you seem to me to come near to Blasphemy, to intimate that Christ ordained so vain a Discipline: What? |
| A27046 | The Canon forbiddeth the Minister to refuse any as aforesaid; What''s this then to the rest? |
| A27046 | The Liturgie bids men come tell the Ministers before- hand that they desire the Communion: Shall I ask them to consent to their duty when it is past? |
| A27046 | The Question is but whether it be our Church- men or theirs that are to be believed? |
| A27046 | The Question is not, What were the final Motives of the War? |
| A27046 | Then what remedy? |
| A27046 | These things being premised, I ask you, Are you in good sadness? |
| A27046 | They never pretended to it: How many men are so, whose Faith is their own? |
| A27046 | Till then, is it the Pastors that refuse such till they voluntary seek it, or the Contemners of these Priviledges, that are to be reproved? |
| A27046 | Was it not long after, at the Treaty of Uxbridge that you mean? |
| A27046 | Was it well done to write such a Book, while he understood so very little of the very plainest passages which he wrote against? |
| A27046 | Was not the Proposals at Nottingham sent by the Earl of Essex, a little before the raising of the Army? |
| A27046 | Were not these the Levellers and Democratists Principles, higher than the old Parliament owned? |
| A27046 | Were we and our present Controversie,( for the most of us) in being, and at age when the Lord Digby spake that? |
| A27046 | What Bishoprick was it that he sought and missed of, and when? |
| A27046 | What Book- sellers break faster than those that confine their Trade to rare Pieces of Antiquity, Learning, Reason, and serious Piety? |
| A27046 | What Cheater then will not foist in some bad thing into his Vows, that he may be disobliged from all the rest? |
| A27046 | What Church must he covenant with that was first baptized? |
| A27046 | What Credit then is to be given to such mens History or Reports? |
| A27046 | What Hereticks should we be? |
| A27046 | What Shops have more trading, or seldomer break, than Toy- shops, that sell Babies, and Puppets, and Hobby- horses, and Pipes? |
| A27046 | What a saying and unsaying is this? |
| A27046 | What a thing is factions Interest? |
| A27046 | What a trick has he found to exempt us all from Government? |

| A27046 | What credit can be given to Histories of things bapned in the Indies 2000 years ago? |
| A27046 | What encouragement have we to embody with that Tribe, who all Consent to this, and not one of multitudes of them do it? |
| A27046 | What false Doctrine is charged on us? |
| A27046 | What hands are we fallen into? |
| A27046 | What if God should send an Angel or Prophet with a particular Message so to do? |
| A27046 | What if I shew how far Lying is unlawful? |
| A27046 | What if a Thief force me to swear Allegiance to the King, or to swear to do some Duty, doth it not add a Second bond? |
| A27046 | What if the King command a Bishop to Excommunicate a Magistrate or Parent for Treason? |
| A27046 | What if the Oath of Allegiance be thrice taken? |
| A27046 | What in the great Hooker? |
| A27046 | What is my Chair? |
| A27046 | What is of Use if these be not? |
| A27046 | What is the Crime that we have committed? |
| A27046 | What is the Schism? |
| A27046 | What is the plain sense, but an universal sense of an universal enunciation? |
| A27046 | What may not such a Wit prove true and lawful, if the man be willing? |
| A27046 | What need you disown or cover it, if it were not so? |
| A27046 | What pretty Logick is here, to prove a King and a Constable all one, because they are both Men, both Christians, and both Rulers? |
| A27046 | What still untruths? |
| A27046 | What then is imposed to be believed? |
| A27046 | What will you call this dealing? |
| A27046 | What would you have more? |
| A27046 | What would you say to such returns? |
| A27046 | What''s that to us any more than to you? |
| A27046 | What, may not Corpus politicum be a member of a larger body Politick? |
| A27046 | What? |
| A27046 | When it''s visible in the Book that I avoid Argumentation, doth not that prove that I said true? |
| A27046 | When shall we meet with a true Sentence? |
| A27046 | When the Question is, As whether the Parliament of England be English- men, or French- men? |
| A27046 | When your practices much much differ? |
| A27046 | Where and when did I engage any to dwell in the Parish? |
| A27046 | Where did you seek to find it? |
| A27046 | Where is the proof of all these Accusations? |
| A27046 | Where is your proof then? |
| A27046 | Whether he justifie not the silencing and ruining of all whom he so accuseth? |
| A27046 | Whether the great number of asserted untruths here, shew not some want of necessary tenderness, or care of writing? |
| A27046 | Whether the two thousand Ministers were justly Silenced? |
| A27046 | Which Party hath killed more for Religion? |
| A27046 | Which way do Churches that are parts of the Universal, cast out all Religion? |
| A27046 | Who authorized you to say that[ Assenting and Consenting to all things contained and prescribed] meaneth not as it saith? |
| A27046 | Who knoweth another mans sincerity but God? |
| A27046 | Who would have thought that there had been such men among Christians, and Pastors of a Reformed Church? |
| A27046 | Why did he pretend to defend the rest, which are imposed in the same Act? |
| A27046 | Why did not the man tell where and when? |
| A27046 | Why may not Archbishops then make Patriarks, and they a Pope, ad summum ascendendo? |
| A27046 | Why may not Consent, and Ordination, and Institution, and Induction too, be all needful? |
| A27046 | Why must I believe them more than Heylin, or more than Doctor Moulin afore- cited believed the English Tradition against Geneva? |
| A27046 | Why not a Marriage- covenant to make one a Priest? |
| A27046 | Why should playing in the dark, or dealing under- board, be preferred in the greatest things? |
| A27046 | Will ever men of such different Capacities, Educations,& c. agree in such and so many things? |
| A27046 | Will his Reasonings make me ignorant of such a matter of my own fact? |
| A27046 | Will it hold in Italy, or in France, or in Denmark; or formerly in Scotland if you had lived there? |

| A27046 | Will men awake believe that Petitioning is no Endeavouring? |
| A27046 | Will not Experience convince you? |
| A27046 | Will there not be Children and indulgent Parents while the world lasteth? |
| A27046 | Will you defend this because Hooker wrote it? |
| A27046 | Will you judge fidem ex homine? |
| A27046 | Will you preach this Doctrine to your Flock? |
| A27046 | Will you thus reproach all Bishop Gauden''s triumphant Vindication and Dedication to the King? |
| A27046 | Would you make an English- man of this age believe, that none of your own Church have an appetite to Bishops Lands? |
| A27046 | Would you your selves change your minds in Religion, if you were but Fined and Imprisoned? |
| A27046 | Yea more, yet I much doubt, whether all the Bishops of England now would Conform themselves as Ministers do, if they were put to it? |
| A27046 | Yea those that determine of Doctrines, which are not only de Fide, but matters of Salvation, certain undoubted Salvation of all baptized Infants? |
| A27046 | You think that such Books will make the Book- sellers- shops, like the Toy- shops: And what if they do? |
| A27046 | [ Did ever any Bishop aspire to such Tyranny as this, the Pope only excepted? |
| A27046 | [ Why tell you of mens Professions, when you see their contrary Practice?] |
| A27046 | a better Logician than all the Assembly too? |
| A27046 | after such a confident Perswasive to Conformity? |
| A27046 | and Fulgentius, how would the Lads reconcile their Doctrinal Disagreements, and then draw one Method out of both Parties? |
| A27046 | and that of Europe? |

| A27046 | and yet in the Oath swear that it is not lawful to resist any Commissioned by him? |
| A27046 | at a venture, true or false, and to have ended at the Nicene Council, yea or any where short of Augustine: What a Method think you would they draw up? |
| A27046 | besides abundance of accidental differences? |
| A27046 | but only an useable measure of Truth and Goodness? |
| A27046 | even such a Body as we treat of? |
| A27046 | is every renewal of the Covenant of Godliness or Christianity a Rebaptizing, or supposeth us Pagans? |
| A27046 | is there not both diversity and opposition, inter totum& partem, and between the species of an universal and particular Society? |
| A27046 | no way but by making Christ and a Bishop formally the Head? |
| A27046 | nor contained in it? |
| A27046 | or is it not the same spirit? |
| A27046 | or must we lay by our senses in believing such Writers against damning errour? |
| A27046 | or no Churches that are Politick Societies? |
| A27046 | or that they are? |
| A27046 | or were any but Consenters Members of that Church? |
| A27046 | or why was there never any such difference between us and the Prelatists pretended? |
| A27046 | or will he have none in the definition? |
| A27046 | or, Convenientia partialis& totalis, Accidentalis& Essentialis, were all one? |
| A27046 | should not such impious Atheists be silenced? |
| A27046 | that is, unless his Church- relation be the same with the Bishops? |
| A27046 | they that say[ We will rule none but Consenters or Volunteers,] or they that call this wickedness and abomination, and so are for the contrary course? |
| A27046 | what a Synod was? |
| A27046 | what a strange Chain of Calumnies can you make? |
| A27046 | what an Army was? |
| A27046 | what uncertain Guides have you? |
| A27046 | what''s this to Baptism? |
| A27046 | when I was acquainted familiarly with so many of them all? |
| A27046 | who would have thought but this was neerer your opinion than theirs? |
| A27046 | will he have another? |
| A27046 | with wat weapons are we assaulted? |
| A27046 | yea, what snares are thus laid to rob men of their time, as well as their Faith and Charity? |
| A27046 | — How can any man know which is the right Church? |
| A27046 | —( Do you not think now that we are agreed? |
| A26886 | & unde il ● e colitur, nisi Charitate? |
| A26886 | ( That is, both profess it at present, and engage to continue in it; answering the interrogation Credis? |
| A26886 | ) But was the word[ entitled] in your Argument? |
| A26886 | 17, 9, 10. is concerning others,[ who can know it?] |
| A26886 | 2 Quest ▪ What must we take for a violent presumption, of the unsoundness of his claim? |
| A26886 | 2. and 3. were such or not? |
| A26886 | 2. he saith,[ Vt agamus de forma Ecclesiae, ubi potius essentialis ejus forma posita est, quàm in fide Christi interna? |
| A26886 | 2d Question is, what is the Common effect of Baptism on all that Receive it? |
| A26886 | 4, 5 Whether Profession be required for it self, or as a sign of the thing professed? |
| A26886 | 4. doth purposely dispute it, Vtrùm peccatores sint Baptizandi? |
| A26886 | 5. that such was their judgement, when they express no such thing? |
| A26886 | 6.17, 18 For what communion hath Light with darkness, and Christ with Belial, or a Believer with an Infidel? |
| A26886 | 6.33& c.[ How shall we that are dead to sin live any longer therein? |
| A26886 | A Professor of what? |
| A26886 | Abrenuncio: Spondes? |
| A26886 | Again tell me, what a man should do to be of every learned good mans minde, or to escape their censures? |
| A26886 | All the doubt is, Whether they also ascribe Regenerating, Renewing Grace to all the rightly baptized? |
| A26886 | Also it is one thing to ask, Whether men have right to performance of their own part in Baptism, in part? |
| A26886 | An Equivocal faith is a Real faith; why then may it not cast out a Real Devil( that is, be a Causa sine qua non? |
| A26886 | An ● raeter electos vocatos etiam Reprobi, Infideles, sive occulti sive manifesti peccatores, verae Christi Ecclesiae membra sint? |
| A26886 | And I crave their patient sober enquiry, Whether that be not to make another species of Baptism and of visible Christianity? |
| A26886 | And Pag 268. he gives the like answer to the Question, Quid est credere in Jesum Cristum, qui ascendit in coelum?] |
| A26886 | And another question, whether they have Right to Both these? |
| A26886 | And another, Whether they have right to Gods part? |
| A26886 | And are not all the Philosophers that ever defined punishment,( so far as I know) agreed in it? |
| A26886 | And are not these more then unus Baxterus? |
| A26886 | And before they actually baptized them, they asked them whether they believed in God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost? |
| A26886 | And did you not set these words before your Readers eyes? |
| A26886 | And do you not fear to make these the Grounds of[ a charge?] |
| A26886 | And doth not that man shew his heart unfound, that can believe the next moment, and will not do it at the present? |
| A26886 | And he comes to the objection, How all that are baptized can be said to put on Christ, when Baptism is not effectual with all? |
| A26886 | And how have Gods servant in all ages of the Church to this day received comfort in such mixt Communion? |
| A26886 | And how many thousand souls may perish everlastingly? |
| A26886 | And if I be mistaken, why should he be so angry at it? |
| A26886 | And if they know not the essentials, may we not help them to a tolerable knowledge of them at the present, before we part with them? |
| A26886 | And if we may not Initiate such a one, how shall we bring him to the Lords Table? |
| A26886 | And if we may not initiate such a one, how shall we bring him to the Lords Table?] |
| A26886 | And if you prove it, I may the next time I see you demand all your Estate and Learning; and what will you do then? |
| A26886 | And is it certain, that Dr Molin knows the mind of Dallaeus better then he doth his own, or is sooner then himself to be believed in the report of it? |
| A26886 | And is it not a kind of impossibility for any unregenerate man, rationally and soberly to promise to be regenerate the next minute or instant? |
| A26886 | And is there any which is not de futuro? |
| A26886 | And might I not well say desideratur conclusio? |
| A26886 | And must all omit this that have no assurance or subjective Certainty? |
| A26886 | And must we not dispute against that also which is indirectly asserted? |
| A26886 | And should I be so unmerciful now as to confute this man, if I could do it? |
| A26886 | And should that which makes them the greater sinners, give them right of admittance into the Church? |
| A26886 | And so I confidently say still: And what''s this to your Cause at all? |
| A26886 | And so whether it be a mutual Covenant; and both parties be actually obliged? |
| A26886 | And then what certainty have we that any of our Ances ● ors had a true Dogmatical faith? |
| A26886 | And therefore we do not, nor must not ask them in Sacramental Administrations, whether they have saving faith by meer name, without description? |
| A26886 | And this would put us hard to the enquiry, Which is the Church that hath this Infallibility? |
| A26886 | And what Saints were they? |
| A26886 | And what a Church? |
| A26886 | And what have I said against this? |
| A26886 | And what is it that is denyed unanimously by other Congregations? |
| A26886 | And what is that but sincerely to obey? |
| A26886 | And what is that equally Coram Deo& Exclesiâ? |
| A26886 | And what is there now on the other side to move us to think it probable that Iudas did Receive the Sacrament? |
| A26886 | And what is this more then the wooden leg, or silver teeth, which our Divines compare them to? |
| A26886 | And what saith Peter less, when he saith,[ Baptism saveth us] and thus expoundeth himself when he hath done? |
| A26886 | And what say the Fathers more? |
| A26886 | And what should one say to such a man as this? |
| A26886 | And what would Mr. Blake do with him if he say neither Yea, nor Nay? |
| A26886 | And what''s the reason? |
| A26886 | And what''s this to Mr. Blake''s new visible members that profess only some other kind of faith? |
| A26886 | And what''s this to the advantage of Mr. Blake''s Cause? |
| A26886 | And when shall we see the Donation that conveyed this Title to him? |
| A26886 | And why so? |
| A26886 | And would you have separated from all the Churches in the world? |
| A26886 | And yet he questioned with men in humane Language; he asketh some whether they believed, and Peter, whether he loved him? |
| A26886 | And yet what thoughts will you entertain of the Scripture? |
| A26886 | And yet will you in the next words perswade him that I talk of a faith short of justifying? |
| A26886 | Another, whether it be so necessary, that they ought not to come nor we to admit them without it? |
| A26886 | Are you resolved never to baptize more on the grounds that the Church of Christ hath alwayes baptized on? |
| A26886 | At least, few of them know that they do it sincerely( as themselves will here confess;) what then must these do in such a case? |
| A26886 | Because he named me not? |
| A26886 | But do you indeed think that all Equivocal terms are Culpable? |
| A26886 | But do you not contradict this, when you add[ yet if such Resolutions do not appear& c.] What if they appear not? |
| A26886 | But how prove you that the external Ordinance is a Nullity where there was no Title? |
| A26886 | But how should he be moved to consent by receiving it, and so signa ● ly Professing to consent when he doth not? |
| A26886 | But if they faithfully do their own part, how should the sins of others ● e their burden, unless by way of common compassion? |
| A26886 | But is it a likely thing that the Fathers and Catholick Church should be so blind as to take all for truly justified and regenerate that are baptized? |
| A26886 | But is this to say, They are vindictive, satisfactory to Justice, or more than chastisements? |
| A26886 | But it is much more disputable according to his principles, whether all that he should so Baptize, must not be rebaptized? |
| A26886 | But our Question is, Whether they they did not profess a saving faith? |
| A26886 | But our Question is, what the Circumciser must look for? |
| A26886 | But stay Brethren; do you build the Churches Peace on such terms as these? |
| A26886 | But tell me where any man was ever said in scripture to be united to Christ without saving faith, or the Profession of it? |
| A26886 | But that can not import a sincere Covenanting in saving Faith; For then how great a part of the people must be cut off? |
| A26886 | But the Question is, What they professed? |
| A26886 | But these will not serve his turn, but he must moreover have a third sort, even such as only Profess another faith short of Justifying? |
| A26886 | But to what, if not to have Christ as he is offered, who can tell? |
| A26886 | But what Saints? |
| A26886 | But what if he resolve not to continue it? |
| A26886 | But what if the Word had not truly converted them? |
| A26886 | But what if they deride and persecute Godliness it self, or a man because he is Godly? |
| A26886 | But what if they had or did say so? |
| A26886 | But what if they live many years in Sweating, or the like sin, is not that a certain sign of Ungodliness? |
| A26886 | But what is all this to a Saint- ship consisting in the Profession of a faith short of that which is Justifying? |
| A26886 | But what is that we may take for a sufficient reason of a mans claim? |
| A26886 | But what need we make any further enquiry, or dispute against a man that professedly yields the cause? |
| A26886 | But what shall I give you to make Mr. Blake of your opinion? |
| A26886 | But what shall we do for a Judge or Rule for the determining of our Controversie? |
| A26886 | But what then? |
| A26886 | But what''s that to the conveying of Right? |
| A26886 | But when I interpret this promise to be[ that he will so believe de futuro] he asketh me[ how comes de futuro in?] |
| A26886 | But where the contradictions? |
| A26886 | But where? |
| A26886 | But who are they? |
| A26886 | But with what comfort can the Godly have communion with the societies that are so mixt with multitudes of the ungodly? |
| A26886 | But you will perhaps say, what faith is that? |
| A26886 | But( I know some dissenting Brethren will say) what a Labyrinth do you bring the Church into on your grounds? |
| A26886 | Can Mr. Blake shew a Covenant of God ex parte sui distinct from this Promise? |
| A26886 | Can any man forbid water that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? |
| A26886 | Can any man have a fundamentall Righ ●, that denyeth any Fundamental Truth? |
| A26886 | Can you so lament the estate of the less miserable, and not of the more miserable? |
| A26886 | Dare you hold communion with no Church that hath some members that in your own Judgement are unfit to be there? |
| A26886 | Did I there once mention such a faith? |
| A26886 | Did ever I say that[ such] a faith gives evidence? |
| A26886 | Did he expect an answer from men, for the bare words sake? |
| A26886 | Did he oblige them to a true answer, or to a false? |
| A26886 | Did you think men would take no heed what they read? |
| A26886 | Do any Divines deny to question it? |
| A26886 | Do not those persons profess a Justifying faith? |
| A26886 | Do our Brethrens Grounds afford us any better footing? |
| A26886 | Do you call for proof? |
| A26886 | Do you put the wrong end forward, and indeed mean[ a profession of faith[ or] a faith conjunct with a profession]? |
| A26886 | Doth Gods Covenant give it them, and yet is there no Promise of it to such as they? |
| A26886 | Doth all Passive or Objective power, Natural, Violent or Neutral, come into act? |
| A26886 | Doth he make a justifying and a Dogmatical faith all one? |
| A26886 | Doth he promise that he doth at the present so believe? |
| A26886 | Doth not God call them his servants himself? |
| A26886 | Doth not Paul in all his Epistles speak of the Saints, as converted savingly by the word of the Gospel? |
| A26886 | Doth not Scripture expresly affirm it? |
| A26886 | Doth not this man think himself very wise in his zeal? |
| A26886 | For if Gods Law had been fulfilled, the parents had been put to death,( we speak of both parents) and then how could they have had a child? |
| A26886 | For what is that but to choose Christ for salvation? |
| A26886 | For what is that but to follow the rules of Christ and Scripture? |
| A26886 | For what man is so prone to scruple or question his own Right or his childrens, as another may be? |
| A26886 | For what profit can it be to any man to be convinced at so dear a rate, how much Mr. Blake hath miscaried in his arguing? |
| A26886 | For where can we expect to find it, if not here? |
| A26886 | For where would you find a Church( among us) where there be not many that have not a Dogmatical faith, which you say must give them Title to Baptism? |
| A26886 | For will he profess it to be true, when he takes it not to be true? |
| A26886 | Fourthly, Do you give us any reason to believe that a notorious ungodly person in your Church is in any better a state than an Infidel? |
| A26886 | God saith, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having on a Wedding garment? |
| A26886 | Hath such an assertion bin usually heard among the worshippers of the Creator& the admirers of his works? |
| A26886 | Have you to do with any man that denyeth it? |
| A26886 | He will think this is great confidence; but what Remedy? |
| A26886 | How are those born within the Church, whose Parents are no Members of the Church? |
| A26886 | How comes I pray you that future in? |
| A26886 | How contrary is this new Doctrine to the Word, and all the ancient Churches, and all approved Protestants Judgements? |
| A26886 | How few will take well a Reproof, but rather defend their sin? |
| A26886 | How knows he it, but on the word of his Master that tells him so? |
| A26886 | How oft hath this opinion been confuted in the Separatists? |
| A26886 | How prove you that therefore they should be admitted to receive? |
| A26886 | How will you difference between Truth and a lye? |
| A26886 | I ask''t whether Preachers be not bound to endeavour the saving conversion of whole Nations? |
| A26886 | I conclude my sentence in his following words;[ Quid ergò agendum est? |
| A26886 | I hope you will not: And how should it speak otherwise to mans understanding? |
| A26886 | I know my censures of his labors are like to be provoking: But who can help that? |
| A26886 | I know this is like to displease: But what remedy? |
| A26886 | I shall enqure further, Whether this be so or not? |
| A26886 | If I be asked, what I mean by a serious Profession? |
| A26886 | If any say so to me, I will hold my hand from baptizing one minute, and ask him whether now he be willing? |
| A26886 | If any, what is it? |
| A26886 | If every man that did ought presumptuously might be cut off from the Church, why not from the Living? |
| A26886 | If he ask, Why then did I there mention his name? |
| A26886 | If he be not worthy that he keepeth not this sign, what is written? |
| A26886 | If he yield that charity is to hope the best, Why not then to be put to it? |
| A26886 | If only words, than what if a man worship actively the Sun or Moon, while verbally he makes the Christian profession? |
| A26886 | If the Pastor be thus Judge, how can you say as before, That the Notoriously Ungodly are ipso Jure Excommunicated? |
| A26886 | If they lose by it no more then I, what cause have I to care? |
| A26886 | If you ask them,[ Are you heartily willing to have Christ to save you both from the guilt and reign of sin, and to glorifie you?] |
| A26886 | If you do, then what profession is it, and of what faith? |
| A26886 | If you were to baptize an Aged man, that comes new into Christianity would not you be the judges whether his profession seemed serious or not? |
| A26886 | In the highest matters about the Attributes and Works of God, how common are Equivocal terms? |
| A26886 | Is here one word of answer to any real part of the Argument? |
| A26886 | Is his word to be taken? |
| A26886 | Is it credible that all Israel must be forced to profess themselves true believers, when many were not? |
| A26886 | Is it not a wonder how the Major could be denied? |
| A26886 | Is it not bad enough if he will not resolve to leave it? |
| A26886 | Is it not our duty to refuse the children of more than the Notoriously Vngodly? |
| A26886 | Is it not put to it, when it must hope the best? |
| A26886 | Is it unlawfull to say[ Lord I believe] as long as we have any Vnbelief to be removed? |
| A26886 | Is not Mr. Blake able to distinguish, between an Hypocrite and a Professor of another sort of faith? |
| A26886 | Is not Repentance ever concomitant with Faith? |
| A26886 | Is not such dealing a sufficient prohibition to dispute? |
| A26886 | Is the Church the outward fulness of Christ, considered as Head? |
| A26886 | Is there a Divine on earth that will deny that there are Equivocal terms in Scripture? |
| A26886 | Is there no Reality in a picture or a corps? |
| A26886 | Is there the vilest Murtherer, or Adulterer, that is not purposed to leave it before he dies? |
| A26886 | Is this the same with yours, or as large? |
| A26886 | It is a great doubt whether there be any power, properly Decisive- judicial in the Church- Guides or not? |
| A26886 | It is one thing to ask, whether the profession of justifying Faith be a duty to all that come to be Baptized? |
| A26886 | It therefore excludeth expresly all other wayes of interest in the Covenant by Birth- Priviledge: Else how could that Negative be true? |
| A26886 | Its one thing to ask, Who may demand it and come there? |
| A26886 | Judge then whether the profession of this, be not the profession of saving faith? |
| A26886 | Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death? |
| A26886 | Know ye not that to whom ye yield your selves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey? |
| A26886 | Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death? |
| A26886 | Let them answer this for themselves, and they shall answer for us? |
| A26886 | May we not be certain that he is graceless or ungodly, that is a frequent Swearer? |
| A26886 | May we not take a man for Notoriously Ungodly, that hath been oft drunk, or oft committed fornication? |
| A26886 | Moreover, how much doth all History depend upon the word of of man? |
| A26886 | Mr. Corbet( cited by you) might well say, that primarily the Sacrament is Gods Seal; but did he say that it is only his, and not secondarily ours? |
| A26886 | Must Logick do the deed at last? |
| A26886 | Must men endeavour to convert a whole Nation, or not? |
| A26886 | Must we write confutations of such men as these? |
| A26886 | Nam de illis quoque ignoramus sictè neone accedant, an verè credant; an sint filii Praedestinationis, an Perditionis? |
| A26886 | Nay how many that did not provoke and harden them? |
| A26886 | Nay, is it not manifested that Dr Twiss himself hath frequently written for it? |
| A26886 | Nay, that they are not in a state much worse? |
| A26886 | Neque audiendi sunt qui hac de re movent scrupulum, ac dicunt, Quid si Minister fallatur? |
| A26886 | Non concludit quod est in Questione, quia Questio est, An sunt ex Ecclesia, seu membra Ecclesiae; non An in Ecclesia Visibili? |
| A26886 | Nor is God actually obliged to give them the blessings of the Covenant? |
| A26886 | Nor yet is it any of our Question, whether the Action of Receiving be commanded to any that are unregenerate, and so be his Duty? |
| A26886 | Note that the stress of the Controversie is not[ Whether it belong to them at all?] |
| A26886 | Now I would know of Mr. Blake, Whether all the Children of these Parents must be Baptized again, or not? |
| A26886 | Now what will you do with all these? |
| A26886 | Now which of these is it that Master Blake here meaneth? |
| A26886 | Or do you think that the covetous dissemblers had coram donatore a just claim, supposing him to be able to discern their deceit? |
| A26886 | Or is here such a Grievous inconvenience as you imagined? |
| A26886 | Or is it Infallible symptoms of the contrary which you mean, or which are sufficient to nullifie or invalidate that Profession? |
| A26886 | Or is not this a contradiction? |
| A26886 | Or to teach me how I may please you both, with the rest of the offended? |
| A26886 | Or what was it, I wonder, that occasioned the jealousie of it? |
| A26886 | Or will it follow that Receiving converteth, because the fears of unworthy Receiving do convert or conduce thereto? |
| A26886 | Or[ Whether it be their duty?] |
| A26886 | Or[ Whether such Children be the Objects of our Just, and Justifiable Action of Baptizing?] |
| A26886 | Our question is, what is a Disciple? |
| A26886 | Perhaps you will Object, If this be not Notorious ungodliness, what is? |
| A26886 | Q Ejusmodi verò parentibus natum infantem admitteres? |
| A26886 | Q. Quibus ergo Conditionibus? |
| A26886 | Quae est validitas Baptismi nisi haec, quòd baptismus tum praedicatus tum collatus confirmat omni Credenti Remissionem peccatorum? |
| A26886 | Quare? |
| A26886 | Quest Doth the inward Grace alway accompany the outward sign? |
| A26886 | Quid enim non habentibus Fadem& justitiam obsignarent? |
| A26886 | Quid enim non hathentibus fidem& justitiam obsignarem?] |
| A26886 | Quid est Credo in Jesum silium Dei unigenitum? |
| A26886 | Quid est credere in Christum crucifixum? |
| A26886 | Quid igitur illi baptismus in nomine Christi susceptus testatur minù, quàm omni Discipulo Christi? |
| A26886 | Quid sirevera Puer neque est filius Promissionis, divinae Electionis atque Misericordiae? |
| A26886 | Quid tu illos baptizat? |
| A26886 | Quinamsunt baptizandi? |
| A26886 | Quorsum ergò Baptismus eis traditur, si ante rem Baptismi habuerint? |
| A26886 | Shew where is a word of Promise that the Sacraments shall convert any one? |
| A26886 | Should not secret sin deterr aswell as open? |
| A26886 | Tell us how you will distinguish; will you not reject all that is apparently lying? |
| A26886 | The Apostle Peter writes to the scattered Jews that professed Christianity: And what kind of Christians or Believers did he take them for? |
| A26886 | The Church of the Colossians are called Saints: But what Saints? |
| A26886 | The Corinthians are called Saints; True: But what is meant by Saints? |
| A26886 | The Lord of that Feast saith not,[ Friend, why wast thou invited h ● ther?] |
| A26886 | The Question is[ Whether it be Gods command, that Ministers should baptize Children of notoriously ungodly men?] |
| A26886 | The Title indeed was Null ab initio, but prove that the Ordinance was so too? |
| A26886 | The second Question is, Whether the Minister may or must deliver the Sacrament to the unconverted, with this Intention that he may be converted by it? |
| A26886 | The third Question is, Whether the unconverted may Demand and receive that Sacrament as a means of Conversion? |
| A26886 | Then a Promise to be a Christian, so long hence may give right to Baptism: And who can tell how long it must be? |
| A26886 | Then we must re- baptize those whose ▪ Parents had not saving faith, because their Baptism is a Nullity: And what work will that make among us? |
| A26886 | Then you may well ask[ With what comfort can such Professors live in the sinful neglect of their own duty?] |
| A26886 | They may tell me so: but how will you prove that they tell me true? |
| A26886 | To proceed, the Church of Philippi are called Saints; True, but what Saints? |
| A26886 | To what purpose is the multitude of your Sacrifices? |
| A26886 | To which I answer; Are you able to search and know the heart? |
| A26886 | True: But what was meant by that word, and what Saints did they appear to Paul by their Profession to be? |
| A26886 | Two of these by a false oath, might put a man to death; and yet how seldom are such things done? |
| A26886 | Upon which Mr. Blake assumeth[ What have I spoke more than here is said? |
| A26886 | Was it not possible for a Jew upon mistake to Circumcise a man that had no Right to it, and yet upon some kind of misunderstood profession? |
| A26886 | Was not Paul sent by preaching to open mens eies and turn them from the power of Satan to God? |
| A26886 | We are next to consider, what are the Competitors which we now exclude? |
| A26886 | We suppose the child born after the Parents are excommunicate: And had that child a Right be ● ore he had a Be ● ng? |
| A26886 | What Church in all the world was ever of your Judgement? |
| A26886 | What Divines are there that deny the Sacraments to be mutual signs and seals, signifying and sealing our part as well as Gods? |
| A26886 | What did the Apostles require? |
| A26886 | What else is there to hinder any Heathen from the like Right? |
| A26886 | What heaps of clear Testimonies might we bring out of his Epistles? |
| A26886 | What if I distinguish the visible Kingdom from the Elect? |
| A26886 | What if by the Law of the Land a Traitors Estate be forfeit? |
| A26886 | What if twenty men will swear that I have written there is no God? |
| A26886 | What if you can not know the Parents justifying faith? |
| A26886 | What is necessary to make a man a true Member of the Catholick Church? |
| A26886 | What is required of persons to be baptized? |
| A26886 | What is the more sure Rule for our proceeding, which is here mentioned? |
| A26886 | What is this to our business? |
| A26886 | What is to be done in this strait? |
| A26886 | What matter is it then which is oftner mentioned, wh ● le both are mentioned, and both true? |
| A26886 | What more should a man expect to warrant him to do so? |
| A26886 | What proof of all this? |
| A26886 | What should the sence of this mysterie be? |
| A26886 | What take you for a sufficient disproof of a verbal profession? |
| A26886 | What them? |
| A26886 | What those Modes or concomitant Acts must be? |
| A26886 | What you do mean by[ a faith of Profession]? |
| A26886 | What''s that to the Major, or Argument? |
| A26886 | When I wrote 〈 ◊ 〉 the Index the contents of one section, thus[ whether it be virtually written in Scripture that Mr. Blake is justified? |
| A26886 | Where do you find in Scripture that such a faith is the Title to Sacraments? |
| A26886 | Whether Baxter and Woodbridge are not the same man? |
| A26886 | Whether God, who appointed this Sacrament, did intend that it should eventually be used to the Conversion of any souls? |
| A26886 | Whether Hypocrites and other Unregerate persons be called Christians, Believers, Saints, Church- members,& c. Univocally, Analogically or Equivocally? |
| A26886 | Whether any besides Regenerate Believers have a Right to the Sacraments given them by God, and may thereupon require them and receive them? |
| A26886 | Whether it be a Ministers duty to baptize them? |
| A26886 | Whether it be worth the while to write or preach to perswade men to offer such a service to God as doth but condemn themselves? |
| A26886 | Whether saving Sanctity or a common Sanctity and Faith short of it? |
| A26886 | Whether such subjects have Right by any Gift or Grant of God to themselves? |
| A26886 | Whether the Infants of Notoriously Ungodly Baptized Parents have Right to be Baptized? |
| A26886 | Whether the Infants of Notoriously ungodly Baptized Parents have Right to be Baptized? |
| A26886 | Whether the Infants of Notoriusly- ungodly baptized Parents have Right to be Baptized? |
| A26886 | Whether they have right for their Parents sake? |
| A26886 | Whether this Learned man know the judgement of all England? |
| A26886 | Who art thou that Judgest another mans servant? |
| A26886 | Who dare say that any of these were a Profession of Christianity? |
| A26886 | Who will doubt whether it can be so, when he sees it is so? |
| A26886 | Why did not Mr. Blake shew but one Text( for this one in hand) where any are said to be Justified upon a faith short of Justifying? |
| A26886 | Why do you expect that your Readers should believe your so frequent and evident mis- reports? |
| A26886 | Why then is it not done? |
| A26886 | Why then may not the same be said of an Infidel, that he may have a right for his child, though none for himself? |
| A26886 | Will Mr. Blake himself Baptize them, that will not thus profess? |
| A26886 | Will it follow that you may not know a Profession of it? |
| A26886 | Will my unpeaceableness excuse yours? |
| A26886 | Will you deny that the Scripture most commonly speaks of God himself himself in equivocal terms? |
| A26886 | Will you have Union and Communion with none but your own Party, that are in all things of your own Opinions? |
| A26886 | Will you take any verbal profession as a title, or not? |
| A26886 | Would Mr. Blake have the Children of all these rebaptized, or not? |
| A26886 | Yet remember that we say not that men ought to forbear coming that are unconverted; but that they ought to come; but how? |
| A26886 | You next add[ How will this make Christianity look with any better face? |
| A26886 | [ And who that dependeth on the mouth of Christ would baptize this man? |
| A26886 | [ Ergò servantur omnes ex pio parente oriundi? |
| A26886 | [ Q. Quid significat In Nomen? |
| A26886 | [ Quid est b. pazari in nomine, Patris& Filii& Spiritus sancti? |
| A26886 | [ Quid recipiunt Impii in Sacramentis? |
| A26886 | [ Sed quum is qui Papista est, non sit verè Christianus, non ejusmodi hominem adulium, nec dum baptizatum, ad Baptismum admitteres? |
| A26886 | [ is not here direction enough to help us to judge of the mind of God, whether infants are his Disciples and Servants or no? |
| A26886 | an Christi gratiam habeant, an illà sint destituti,& mendaciter dicant se credere? |
| A26886 | and a third, whether Baptism without it be a Nullity? |
| A26886 | and also whether they have not the same uncertainty of the sincerity of that lower Faith in the Professors, as of true saving Faith? |
| A26886 | and another to ask, To whom may we give it? |
| A26886 | and are you not put in all this upon the same uncertainties, and to the use of probabilities as we? |
| A26886 | and consequently, Whether Mr. Blakes doctrine have delivered them from difficulties, or ensnared them? |
| A26886 | and did I ever speak with more and higher Confidence? |
| A26886 | and doth he not averr that he never denied it? |
| A26886 | and how far? |
| A26886 | and how ill do you to wrong the Church of God by seeking to make men believe that these things are new and strange? |
| A26886 | and how is he to be dealt with? |
| A26886 | and in what words? |
| A26886 | and is no more acceptable to God than the Pharises washing cups, or than the cutting of their flesh, or the rent in the garment? |
| A26886 | and proceed on meer probabilities, as well as we? |
| A26886 | and so prove that to you to be the title to Baptism and the Lord''s Supper? |
| A26886 | and take a violent presumption as ground for some determinations? |
| A26886 | and that if they do it not sincerely, that is not yet justifying faith which they profess? |
| A26886 | and the only thing in doubt is, Whether the person be penitent or impenitent? |
| A26886 | and they will say yea withal their hearts? |
| A26886 | and what Saints? |
| A26886 | and what is that but( supposing assent) the true description of saving faith? |
| A26886 | and what other way is there of knowing the signification of any Language whatsoever? |
| A26886 | and what was necessary to warrant them to circumcise them? |
| A26886 | and what''s your answer to that, unless you distinguish of two sorts, and mean that another sort there are that inherite Ordinances? |
| A26886 | and when? |
| A26886 | and where? |
| A26886 | and whether Mr. Blake know where to fix himself, and how to describe his Dogmatical faith? |
| A26886 | and whether he do not yield the cause that I am maintaining? |
| A26886 | and whether they are willing to have God for their only God, and Christ for their only Saviour, and the Holy Ghost their Sanctifier? |
| A26886 | as if every promise were not de futuro; Is it de praesenti? |
| A26886 | but whether they believe in God the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost; and renounce the World, Flesh, and Devil? |
| A26886 | but whether( as he affirmeth) to all alike? |
| A26886 | but you say so? |
| A26886 | can you discern sincerity by an infall ● ble judgment? |
| A26886 | for it was done by his own appointment: but[ Friend how camest thou in hither?] |
| A26886 | hath God bid or permitted this man to speak all this for nought? |
| A26886 | how much will Worcester- shire Congregations where this is received exceed other Congregations where unanimously it is denyed?] |
| A26886 | if I saw them Baptized with mine eyes? |
| A26886 | is not here a plain concession, that a profession of justifying faith is requisite to Baptism? |
| A26886 | like Dr. John White''s Catechumene, that being asked what Jesus Christ was? |
| A26886 | must I write against them all? |
| A26886 | or a ground for such a violent presumption that a man doth lye and dissemble, and is no Christian? |
| A26886 | or all this Nation, if they had been Heathens this hundred years, because their Ancestors were justly presumed to be Christians? |
| A26886 | or as a sign of their mind? |
| A26886 | or how will this warrant his new kind of Baptism, which must be administred upon the Profession of another sort of Faith? |
| A26886 | or in whole? |
| A26886 | or is the Administration of the Lords Supper to such a Nullity, or only unprofitable? |
| A26886 | or not intelligible? |
| A26886 | or that ever man was admitted to them upon such a profession? |
| A26886 | or that receiving is a means ordained and enjoyned for conversion, because seeing and hearing is? |
| A26886 | or themselves, if it were their case? |
| A26886 | or what one feather is plucked from his plume? |
| A26886 | or whether the necessary order of his duty be not first to believe and repent, and then to claim these ordinances? |
| A26886 | or whether they were admitted on the profession of another kind of faith? |
| A26886 | per gratiam supernaturalem,& viam illius gratiae;& quo tandem? |
| A26886 | tas, nisi Dei cultus? |
| A26886 | that is, I Invited thee not to come without the wedding garment to disgrace my house, but to bring it with thee? |
| A26886 | that is, by lying? |
| A26886 | that is,[ who can know anothers heart?] |
| A26886 | true or false? |
| A26886 | what bone is broken? |
| A26886 | what cross evidence will you take for currant? |
| A26886 | what is meant by that Baptism, the Right whereto we are now enquiring after? |
| A26886 | while we must judge of mens sincerity, we are left at uncertainty; and who knows among al these difficulties whom to judge godly, and whom ungodly? |
| A26886 | why saith he[ Who would not believe that I had directly asserted it, or made some unsavooy vaunts about it?] |
| A26886 | will it follow that eventually faith never followeth baptism, nor baptism never goeth before faith? |
| A26886 | will it not disable and discredit his profession with you? |
| A26886 | would ever the Church of Christ Baptize any but such? |
| A26886 | yea or unnecessary? |
| A26886 | you have Christ himself, and do you grudg them the name of Christians, or the bare symbole or signs of his body and blood? |
| A26886 | — Justam Ecclesiae formam adscripsimus — Vecatur à Deo quisquis ad Ecclesiam pertinet è natura& modulo naturali suo: quá autem? |
| A26886 | —[ Instituitur quidem disputatio acuta de eo, quinam sint populus Dei& participes Remissionis peccatorum per Christum? |
| A26906 | ( not denying any essential part of Christianity) are Christs Universal Visible Church? |
| A26906 | ( unless it be in formality to seem humble persons) yea, how impatient are they with any other that find fault with them? |
| A26906 | 14. Who made me a judge or a divider over you? |
| A26906 | 4. Who art thou that judgest another mans servant? |
| A26906 | A grievous charge upon Divines and Christians: Are they the only Bedlams or drunken men in the world? |
| A26906 | Age maketh not the difference: We are fain to teach many aged persons forms of Catechism as well as children; Why not therefore forms of prayer? |
| A26906 | Am I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth? |
| A26906 | And I pray you judge whether there be any more Christian Love in this kind of dealing, than there is in that which you call persecution? |
| A26906 | And afterward also whom to catechise and instruct and admit to the communion of the Church? |
| A26906 | And all the errours that are found in so many Councils and Confessions of Churches; and in so many Volumes of Controversie as are extant? |
| A26906 | And are not your Tongues employed too often in revenge? |
| A26906 | And are these such great matters that we should envy them to poor sinners that must have no more? |
| A26906 | And are you able and willing to leave all your callings, to do all this? |
| A26906 | And can you think that Christ disowneth them all, save you? |
| A26906 | And do not you do so by those whom you causlesly separate from? |
| A26906 | And do they mean All such sinful worship or some only? |
| A26906 | And do we not yet know where Repentance must begin? |
| A26906 | And do you not fear such a reckoning? |
| A26906 | And doth it not then concern them as much as us, to know which they be? |
| A26906 | And have I not Gods own Ministers and means to help me to the knowledge of his word? |
| A26906 | And how know you that you are one of them? |
| A26906 | And how perversly do they aggravate the faults of all that are against their way? |
| A26906 | And how prove you that the faults of the Liturgy are not as far from the Matter of the worship, as your own are? |
| A26906 | And how shall we know them? |
| A26906 | And how small and common a good seemeth excellent in them? |
| A26906 | And if multiplicity and diversity have so much cause in nature, how much more must needs be added by the common corruption and pravity of nature? |
| A26906 | And if these busie people had their wish, would they not be in a worse case than the most dumb and lazy Minister? |
| A26906 | And if ye salute your brethren only, what do you more than others? |
| A26906 | And if you extend the case to all other parts of the Ministery, where the reason is the same, they will say[ what reverence is due to such? |
| A26906 | And indeed where are there any sects or factions, but there are Ministers that head them, and that caused them at first, and keep them up? |
| A26906 | And is it not a greater fault in Parents that pretend to greater wisdome, to be impatient with them for it? |
| A26906 | And is it not a shame that you will sin so easily? |
| A26906 | And is it not as bad if( but accidentally) it tend to the ruine of the Church, and the hurt of souls? |
| A26906 | And is it not so in the duties of Love and Peace? |
| A26906 | And is it not time to bring water when we see the flames? |
| A26906 | And is it so bad in them, and good in us? |
| A26906 | And is it to One Christian, or to every praying Christian that he hath promised it? |
| A26906 | And is it unlawful to joyn with such? |
| A26906 | And is not our labour as needful here as any where? |
| A26906 | And is not the learning of the words first, profitable to their learning of the sense? |
| A26906 | And it is an aggravated Crime in them, that so much cry down Church- tyranny in others, to be thus notoriously guilty of it themselves? |
| A26906 | And most lament that, which we are most guilty of? |
| A26906 | And most talk against that which most concerneth us? |
| A26906 | And must we not separate from them then as Idolaters? |
| A26906 | And shall any be saved against his will? |
| A26906 | And suppose you could secure all your conquests, are the Churches healed ever the more? |
| A26906 | And that to separate from the Universal Visible Church, is visibly to separate from Christ? |
| A26906 | And then Godly people first scruple them, and then flye from them as discerned superstition? |
| A26906 | And then should not all force be meerly such as is subservient to the ends of Love? |
| A26906 | And then the worst men b ● glad of that advantage to persecute those that would not submit to them? |
| A26906 | And therefore should be countenanced& encouraged? |
| A26906 | And to hate an enemy than a friend? |
| A26906 | And was it not a pitiful life that they lived that while? |
| A26906 | And what abundance of Sect- masters did arise from among the Ministers of the Gospel in the Apostles own times? |
| A26906 | And what errour is it that hath not a party? |
| A26906 | And what greater cruelty can you shew to souls, than thus to harden them in their sin and misery? |
| A26906 | And what greater injury can men do to Christ and to Religion than this? |
| A26906 | And what harm is it then if the people hear them? |
| A26906 | And what if the next age after that should make Laws to enforce them? |
| A26906 | And what is the cause? |
| A26906 | And what measure of Gifts is necessary to the being of the Ministry? |
| A26906 | And what pitiful arguments have they to prove this charge of Idolatry? |
| A26906 | And what wise man had not rather partake of the friendly converse, than joyn with drunken men that are fighting in the streets? |
| A26906 | And when all the world feeleth the consequents of this difference, can we doubt of it, or so far dote, as to think it possible to cure it? |
| A26906 | And when we are our selves no better, should we not rather complain of the sore that is so near us? |
| A26906 | And where is the promise which maketh this difference? |
| A26906 | And wherefore slew he him? |
| A26906 | And whether the Church be not the same thing now as then, and and its universal constitution and necessary administration the same? |
| A26906 | And whether the Holy Ghost i ● not the Author of the Church- establishment in the Scriptures? |
| A26906 | And whether the primitive Church or ours be the purer and more exemplary? |
| A26906 | And whether we can expect more infallible deciders of such cases, than Christ, and his Spirit and Apostles? |
| A26906 | And who hindereth the preaching of the pure doctrine of the Gospel in all the Romanists dominions? |
| A26906 | And who shall cure them, if their Physicians themselves be they that do infect them? |
| A26906 | And why are they commanded to teach all Nations, and to teach the Church all that Christ commanded them? |
| A26906 | And why did he kill his brother? |
| A26906 | And why do no Sea- men trust any other, to govern the ship, as well as an experienced Pilot? |
| A26906 | And why is it that children must so much honour their fathers and mothers, and must be governed by them? |
| A26906 | And why may not Separatists, Anabaptists and others easily take such kind of comfort? |
| A26906 | And why may you not as well stay seven years more, for a seasonable time, to Preach down all other sins as well as this? |
| A26906 | And why not then other words which are agreeable to their State? |
| A26906 | And why should I turn lyar against my self, and say that my presence is a profession of that consent which I never made the least profession of? |
| A26906 | And why should one have more maintainance than another? |
| A26906 | And why would not this serve for all the world? |
| A26906 | And will work succeed well that is not done? |
| A26906 | And will you now come in, and justifie these men from their hypocrisie, by saying that they are no Professors? |
| A26906 | And yet how contrary is the practise of no small number of the Religious? |
| A26906 | Are not men most afraid of overthrowing the children and the weak, rather than those that are stronger than themselves? |
| A26906 | Are not the most conscientious, necessary helpers of the Ministery, by their example, to cure the unconscionableness of the rest? |
| A26906 | Are not the old Apostolical rules and terms sufficient to the safety and peace of Christians? |
| A26906 | Are not the sons of Levi yet refined? |
| A26906 | Are not these the plain commands of God? |
| A26906 | Are not you guilty of Ministerial weaknesses in preaching and praying, and of many omissions in your private oversight? |
| A26906 | Are there not parties against parties, and cause against cause, and heart- risings, and passions, and censurings of Dissenters, to say no worse? |
| A26906 | Are they not the fruits of Gods mercies and your own endeavours: Will you grudge at your own successes? |
| A26906 | Are you still so ignorant as not to know, how uncertain still you are to keep it, and that one spurn can take it from you? |
| A26906 | As if every infirmity were a crime, and had no excuse? |
| A26906 | Be not righteous overmuch, neither make thy self over- wise: why shouldst thou destroy thy self? |
| A26906 | But Christ cared not for offending such perverse ones as Herod or the Pharisees? |
| A26906 | But If I joyn with them that worship God amiss, do I not approve of their sin or signifie my consent to it? |
| A26906 | But hath not God bid us believe that we shall receive what ever we ask, and promised to believers that they shall receive it? |
| A26906 | But how doth all this make it mine? |
| A26906 | But how seldome do you hear them tell any how bad they are themselves? |
| A26906 | But if you ask why we separated from the Papal Church? |
| A26906 | But is there no secret wish in your heart, that some evil may befal another? |
| A26906 | But saving the due respect to the honesty of such persons, ask them, How shall I know that you are in the right? |
| A26906 | But shall I therefore forbear, and betray their souls, and betray the Land through cowardly silence? |
| A26906 | But suppose it prove true, should we not do good to Souls, and save men from sin, and heal divisions, at the dearest rate? |
| A26906 | But then why did Luther and the first Pretestants, separate from the Church of Rome; and how will you justifie them from Schisme? |
| A26906 | But then you leave us at utter uncertainty, whether we have the answer of our prayers or not? |
| A26906 | But to what purpose is all this? |
| A26906 | But what Text of Scripture is it that ever told these men that all false worship is Idolatry? |
| A26906 | But what if c ● rn ● l neglig ● nt Ministers will let in 〈 ◊ 〉 into the Church by Baptism and give them the Lords Supper? |
| A26906 | But what if the forms imposed be worse than the exercise of our own gifts? |
| A26906 | But what if they are notoriously wicked? |
| A26906 | But what is it that you would have 〈 ◊ 〉 do for Love and Peace, and against the contraries? |
| A26906 | But what is my inference from all this? |
| A26906 | But what mean these men by false worship? |
| A26906 | But what shall a man do in so hard a streight? |
| A26906 | But what will you say if this be the common case, of the far greatest part of the Christian world? |
| A26906 | But when you have got the Ball, have you done the work? |
| A26906 | But whether they will make this profession or not? |
| A26906 | But why dost thou judge thy brother? |
| A26906 | But why make you no conscience of scandalizing others, on the contrary side? |
| A26906 | But will it not be my sin if I communicate with such as I know to be notoriously wicked? |
| A26906 | But ye have despised the poor: Do not the rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgement seats? |
| A26906 | By which we must try who are to be the members of himself and his Church, and to have Communion with himself and one another? |
| A26906 | Can their words add any authority to the Word of God? |
| A26906 | Can you name and number them? |
| A26906 | Can you not bear the censure of such a shadow? |
| A26906 | Can you prove that Christ doth separate from all the Christians of the world which you separate from? |
| A26906 | Can you well Preach so great Love of Christ to men without Love? |
| A26906 | Certainly in Christs time both Liturgies by forms, and also prayers by habit were used? |
| A26906 | Dare you say before God, Let me have no part in any of the prayers of all these Churches on earth who use a Liturgy as culpable as ours? |
| A26906 | Dare you say, Do not you use such a form of prayer or such a ceremony for if you do, I will sin against God? |
| A26906 | Did all the Ministers and common people persecute you? |
| A26906 | Did he live in fulness, and ride in po ● p, and associate only with the rich and great? |
| A26906 | Do I pretend to add any clearness to the methods or points received, or to correct any error which hath got the major Vote of the injudicious? |
| A26906 | Do they mean worship contrary to Gods word? |
| A26906 | Do we not yet know where Iudgment hath begun, after such plagues and flames, and Church convulsions? |
| A26906 | Do you ever pray your selves in secret or in your families without sin? |
| A26906 | Do you not believe that it is unlawful in any case whatsoever to separate from it? |
| A26906 | Do you not believe that this Church is only One; and that every particular Church, and every Christian is a part of it? |
| A26906 | Do you not feel your minds disturbed by it: Do you not see the Church discomposed by it? |
| A26906 | Do you not think that you have a far stronger temptation, to dishonour a persecuting Magistrate than a good one? |
| A26906 | Do you say that your neighbours are not to be accounted members of the Church, nor to be communicated with? |
| A26906 | Do you set so light by your part in their prayers? |
| A26906 | Do you think that there is no imposition but by force? |

| A26906 | Durst these persons profess this openly with their tongues? |
| A26906 | Either of these answers may stop your mouths, First, What is that to the whole Parishes whose communion you avoid, who never persecuted you? |
| A26906 | Else why should we be thought any fitter to be their Teachers and Guides, than they to be ours? |
| A26906 | Every one saith, I am of Paul, and I of Apollo — Is Christ divided? |
| A26906 | Fifthly, What need men study or bestow so many years at the University, if Ordination and Office be enough? |
| A26906 | Fifthly, will stripes change the judgement in matters of Religion? |
| A26906 | First, Is not the priviledge of the Church, ● ette ● than the priviledges of the Commonwealth? |
| A26906 | First, What is the true spirit of a Christian, and nature of Christianity? |
| A26906 | For how can we expect that the people should hear, if the Pastors be obdurate and remediless? |
| A26906 | For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the Church of God? |
| A26906 | For what is it to govern, but to have all others obliged to fulfil your wills? |
| A26906 | For y ● are yet carnal: For whereas there is among you envying and strife and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? |
| A26906 | For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying and strife and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? |
| A26906 | Fourthly, And how cold and unskilful are many in the application of that doctrine which they have tolerably opened? |
| A26906 | Fourthly, But suppose them yet so foolish and faulty, as to run from you to their own perdition; The question is, What is the way to c ● re them? |
| A26906 | Fourthly, Mercy is to be preferred before sacrifice: What if the present uttering some truth would cost many thousand mens lives? |
| A26906 | Fourthly, What is the Office, but an Authority and Obligation to do the Ministerial work? |
| A26906 | Fourthly, is not the work to be done, the saving of mens souls? |

| A26906 | God telleth the Sabbath- breakers of Israel, that when they were rooted out, the land should keep her Sabbaths: Was that a mercy or a judgement? |

| A26906 | Hath God said you shall use Notes in preaching? |
| A26906 | Hath he so few? |
| A26906 | Hath not God made his Ministers Judges whom they are to baptize? |
| A26906 | Have I not heard many, do I not know many, who preach more convincingly, more plainly and more powerfully than I? |
| A26906 | Have not I liberty to do my best? |
| A26906 | Have we not seen a proud Victorious Army dissolved without a drop of blood? |
| A26906 | Have we so preached, so privately overseen and taught them, and so lived, as that all this confusion will not be justly laid at our doors?] |
| A26906 | Have we the Kernel, and do we envy them the Shell? |
| A26906 | Have we the Spirit, and do we envy them the flesh, or outward signes alone? |
| A26906 | Having begun in the spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? |
| A26906 | He came not to be ministred unto but to minister: How sharply did he rebuke his disciples when they strove who should be greatest? |
| A26906 | He will say, No, they will not sin, but they will take it to be your sin, and they will be troubled at it? |
| A26906 | How can you think that the unbelievers and ungodly should think well of them, that all speak so ill of one another? |

| A26906 | How many vehement commands are there in Solomons Proverbs to the younger sort, to hearken to the counsel of their Parents? |
| A26906 | How partially do they judge of the judgements and practises of others? |
| A26906 | How small a thing will serve the turn, to excuse the faults of any of their party? |
| A26906 | How then can you say that these are no Professors? |
| A26906 | How then would you suffer martyrdome for Christ? |
| A26906 | How vile and unsufferable some account them, that will pray in any words which are not written down for them? |
| A26906 | How weakly do we preach and pray and write? |
| A26906 | I entreat these men to mark whether it was Christ or the Pharisees that came nearest to their way, and whom they now imitate? |
| A26906 | I have seldom seen the best tempered people inclined to this way of jesting at other mens manner of worship? |
| A26906 | I hope you do not mean that no body must displease you? |
| A26906 | I know they will say that Religion was ever scorned by the wicked, and ever will be? |
| A26906 | I speak to your shame, Is there not a wise man among you? |
| A26906 | I would ask such a one why call you those good people that are easily drawn to sin against God? |
| A26906 | I would ask you therefore, whether you take not the people of the Parish Churches to be more than you? |
| A26906 | If I am not able to enumerate just how many faults or weaknesses may be tollerable in my servants? |
| A26906 | If he must have so many years learning and preparation, can you do it without? |
| A26906 | If not, how can you think so in a case so neer it? |
| A26906 | If not, you must know that this only is true scandal, to occasion you to sin? |
| A26906 | If the Minister that doth it, must lay by the business of the world, how think you that you can do the same without laying by your worldly business? |
| A26906 | If then they are admitted by an entrusted Officer, will you venture to usurp the place, yea and to do them the wrong to say that they are no members? |
| A26906 | If they say that the spirit hath told them the meaning of the Scripture, say as before, that is not told for you, which is not proved to you? |
| A26906 | If to every one, why are we not all of a mind? |
| A26906 | If we are put to defend our Religion, or any necessary part thereof, how weakly and injudiciously is it usually done? |
| A26906 | If ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances? |
| A26906 | If you ask me, How can it stand with grace to be so much hid? |
| A26906 | If you believe this, how dare you blame me for writing to save you from confusion and every evil work? |
| A26906 | If you grant it, was it not his Office so to do? |

| A26906 | Is it any of your trust or work? |
| A26906 | Is it because they abound most in Love to the souls of those who offend, or them who are endangered by them? |
| A26906 | Is it not a blaspheming of Gods spirit, to make it the Patron of mens sloth and idleness, under pretense of magnifying grace? |
| A26906 | Is it not an erroneous Clergy? |
| A26906 | Is it not long of us? |
| A26906 | Is it not the Bishops that have caused the long division, between the Greek and Latin Churches? |
| A26906 | Is it not the end of all your studies and labours to to promote them? |
| A26906 | Is it not the former that you more desire than the later? |
| A26906 | Is it not their Councils and their contentious writings and practises, which have been the grand causes of this woful schism? |
| A26906 | Is it not there sufficiently revealed? |
| A26906 | Is it not worthy of our labour? |
| A26906 | Is not every confused prayer sinful, which hath unmeet expressions and disordered, and hath wandering thoughts and dull affections? |
| A26906 | Is not standing a fit gesture to profess our Faith in? |
| A26906 | Is not the Land in a continual heart war? |
| A26906 | Is not the experience of all the Christian world a sufficient proof? |
| A26906 | Is that in vain which Heaven is promised to? |
| A26906 | Is there any of these Love- killers that dare say they pray without sin? |
| A26906 | Is this the least malignant, or least dangerous sin? |
| A26906 | It is not doing as we would be done by, what if any should say of you, that you are Heretical and deny Fundamental Truths? |
| A26906 | It s two to one but there are present many persons of contrary opinions ▪ what shall I do to please them all? |
| A26906 | It would be much more acceptable to God and wise men, to hear you talk of your own infirmities, than of the Rulers or Ministers, or Neighbours? |
| A26906 | Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God? |
| A26906 | Little do such persons think, how many be in Hell, through these scandals and snares which they have set before them? |
| A26906 | Lord wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? |
| A26906 | May they not teach their Children the Lords Prayer or a Psalm, though it be a Form? |
| A26906 | Me thinks you are renewing the old controversie, whether in this Mount or at Ierusalem men ought to worship? |
| A26906 | Must I be blind? |
| A26906 | Must I not fear them that can kill the body? |
| A26906 | Must I therefore have none, till I have those that are faultless? |
| A26906 | Must all separate from you for this? |
| A26906 | Must he forbear to do better, because he can not do so well, by the use of his own gifts alone? |
| A26906 | Must therefore all be used indifferently or none? |
| A26906 | NOne usually are so spleenishly impatient at the weakness of Dissenters or Separatists as the Pastors are? |
| A26906 | Nay is it not the Duty of such to do it? |
| A26906 | Nay that will sin because I do my duty? |
| A26906 | Ninthly, Why also is there so much difference between the Pastors reputations and their labours when they are dead? |
| A26906 | Nor no secret gladness that some evil hath befaln him? |
| A26906 | Nor to mention the sin which is most to be repented of? |
| A26906 | Now how shall a stander by know which of you is in the right? |
| A26906 | Now if this should be the cause that others are preferred before you, O how heynous were your sin? |
| A26906 | O see him washing his disciples feet? |
| A26906 | O strange exposition of the Fifth Commandment? |
| A26906 | O that men would discern what is the true worth of prayer? |
| A26906 | O what rends and ruines had it prevented in the Christian world? |
| A26906 | Or at least, whe ● her it proceed not from the same uncharitableness? |
| A26906 | Or if you will imprison them, every subject must be in prison, and then who shall be the Jaylor, and who shall find them food? |
| A26906 | Or is it praise- worthy to be odd and singular in the Church? |
| A26906 | Or may not you bear anothers failings as patiently as your own? |
| A26906 | Or some of them at least? |
| A26906 | Or that you your selves should not rather joyn with that than with none? |
| A26906 | Or what need have others of your Revelations: If it be but to some, who be those some? |
| A26906 | Or where God requireth ability in them for Church- government? |
| A26906 | Or whether you should joyn with such a Church, in the use of such preaching and prayers or not? |
| A26906 | Or why should more scrupled things be called necessary to order and decency than indeed are so? |
| A26906 | Or will it be done by bare Authority and Obligation to do it? |
| A26906 | Or would you not rather joyn with them, than with no Church at all? |
| A26906 | Or, who must be the judge? |
| A26906 | Secondly, And what if ther ● be a difficulty what points are necessary and what errours are into ● erable? |
| A26906 | Secondly, Is it not a deeper accusation to charge one to be ungodly and prophane, than to charge him only to be schismatical? |
| A26906 | Secondly, will force cure them better than evidence of truth, and Love will do? |
| A26906 | Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? |
| A26906 | Seventhly, Is it the honour and felicity of so ● ls to be such? |
| A26906 | Shall it be thus in their power to corrupt the Church: And must we joyn with them and take no care of it? |
| A26906 | Shall we therefore think that the people are in the wrong? |
| A26906 | Shew us what text doth give them that power? |
| A26906 | Should we not most fear that which we are most in danger of? |
| A26906 | So Christ be preached, and the people instructed, sanctisied and saved, what if it be done by another rather than by me? |
| A26906 | So after he had washed their feet and had taken his garments, and was set down again he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? |
| A26906 | Some are puffed up — Shall I come to you with a rod or in love? |
| A26906 | Suppose it were so? |
| A26906 | THe question is not, Whether the impenitent should be put away from Church- Communion? |
| A26906 | THere have been two great questions which long have troubled the Church, whether we may take him for a true Minister of Christ, that is ungodly? |
| A26906 | Tell us when the people were authorized to baptize? |
| A26906 | Tenthly, Why should the Kingdome be at so much cost upon the Ministery? |
| A26906 | That is, which is sinful? |
| A26906 | The Devil is the Love- killer: And what way can you imagine so powerful to kill love to any others, as to make men think them to be very bad? |
| A26906 | The good of the Office and of the person is of God; and the evil is of Satan: And should you so look at Satans part, as to pass by all Gods part? |
| A26906 | The greater number are not always in the right; therefore why should my singularity discourage me? |
| A26906 | The purified peculiar people of the Redeemer ane zealous, but of what? |
| A26906 | They were grievous persecutors: Which of the Prophets did not your fathers kill and persecute? |
| A26906 | This way hath been long tried by the Mountebanks in Italy, Spain and many other Countries, but alas with what success? |
| A26906 | Till we see this, what promise have we of the pardon of our dreadful temporal penalties? |
| A26906 | To apply all this, It may be you are in doubt whether this or the other be the meaning of such a text of scripture? |
| A26906 | To make it the scorn and contempt of the world? |
| A26906 | To what purpose do you set together all these words of Scripture, without any exposition, or telling us what you conclude from them? |
| A26906 | To what will you liken me, that ● should be like unto it, saith the Holy one? |
| A26906 | Touch not, tast not, handle not( which all are to perish with the using) after the Commandements and Doctrines of men? |
| A26906 | Universal Concord& c. in octavo? |
| A26906 | WHo can say I have made my heart clean? |
| A26906 | Was Rehoboam unwise in forsaking the counsel of the aged, and harkning to the young and rash? |
| A26906 | Was it for going too far from sinners that the Pharisees did censure Christ? |
| A26906 | Was it not a Minister of Christ? |

| A26906 | What do we teach them for, if we would not have them learn and profit? |
| A26906 | What elfe do you mean, when you blame men for scandalizing you? |
| A26906 | What errours are tollerable, and what are intollerable? |
| A26906 | What greater honour can a Teacher have, than to make his Schollars as wise and able as himself? |

| A26906 | What if the next age should turn them into a dead formality? |
| A26906 | What if you can not justly enumerate what herbs or roots or drugs are wholsome and what are unwholsome? |
| A26906 | What need we Commentaries then? |
| A26906 | What profaning of Gods word is this? |
| A26906 | When had we ever greater Temptations to Love- killing principles and practices than now, except in the times of the miserable Wars? |
| A26906 | When he had done it he was in great doubt and perplexity about it, whether he had done well or not? |
| A26906 | When so many Texts command us diligence, and slothfulness is so great a sin? |
| A26906 | When so many were turned out of the Universities for not engaging? |
| A26906 | When the Papists had murdered so many hundred thousands of the Albigenses and Waldenses, who would have thought, but they had done their work? |

| A26906 | Where hath God given any men power to prescribe and impose forms for others? |
| A26906 | Where hath he promised upon all your prayers, that ever he will teach you in this life the sense of every text of Scripture? |
| A26906 | Whether they are sure that these superstitions of theirs may not run the round as other superstitions have done before them? |
| A26906 | Who brought in Transubstantiation with the rest of the Roman absurdities? |
| A26906 | Who can teach others that which they never learned themselves? |

| A26906 | Who loveth to thrust himself into a fray? |
| A26906 | Who perhaps are more in number, and whose salvation should be as much desired by you? |

| A26906 | Who set up Usurpers and raised wars against Emperors and Kings upon these grounds? |

| A26906 | Who took them into the Church by Baptism? |
| A26906 | Who troubled Paul and the first Churches, but erroneous Teachers? |
| A26906 | Why are almost all the Greek Churches, the Armenians, the Russians, the Abassians, so lamentably ignorant? |
| A26906 | Why be not all as wise as you? |
| A26906 | Why do you not offer to prove it to be so, but barely affirm it without any proof? |
| A26906 | Why was it that Christ mentioneth the Parable of the Pha ● ● see, and the Publican? |
| A26906 | Why were the Apostles sent out into all the world? |
| A26906 | Will you find some words which you can call false in the matter? |
| A26906 | Will you say therefore that God approveth or consenteth to all these sins? |
| A26906 | Will you say to them, Love me, or you shall be fined or imprisoned? |
| A26906 | Wisdome and Love may prevent all this: Envy not the gifts or graces of your people? |
| A26906 | With such a one no not to eat — Do not ye judge them that are within? |
| A26906 | Wo to the shepherds of Is ● ael that feed themselves; should not the shepherds feed the flocks? |
| A26906 | Would you not think that you had the more injustice? |
| A26906 | Would you so cure Sabbath- breaking and disorder? |
| A26906 | Yea and every man from himself; that is, He must give over praying because its all Idolatry? |
| A26906 | You know not how fast you are hastening to infidelity, and to the renouncing of Christ himself? |
| A26906 | You''l say, Those are Papists and so are not we? |
| A26906 | among the prophane we take this to be a deadly sign of impenitency? |
| A26906 | and a fervour in all our heavenly and spiritual desires? |
| A26906 | and a fit gesture to praise God in? |
| A26906 | and a pitiful kind of worship which they thus offered to God? |
| A26906 | and a pitiful zeal which did set them on? |

| A26906 | and so many out of the Ministry? |
| A26906 | and take a solitude for Peace? |
| A26906 | and the further they go, the more they will increase and multiply? |
| A26906 | and to be worse than you? |
| A26906 | and to condemn those whom he condemneth not? |
| A26906 | and to make sins and duties which God never made, and then to condemn the innocent for want of this humane religiousness? |

| A26906 | what a loss are we at in our ordinary studies? |
| A26906 | what difficulties puzzle us? |
| A26906 | what text do they name, but such as if they did it on purpose, to shew their boldness in adding to Gods Word? |
| A26906 | when I must shew that I love the looser sort by my sharp reproofs? |
| A26906 | whence is persecution, but from thinking ill of others,& abhorring them, or not loving them? |
| A26906 | which purge too much and which too little? |
| A26906 | who will sin against God every time that his brother doth not humor him? |
| A26906 | will you thence infer that men may eat and drink any thing in quantity and quality, or else nothing? |
| A26906 | yea, that make their Communion, the very badge and means of their uncharitableness and divisions? |
| A26906 | you little suspect that your extraordinary strictness, for the purity of the Church doth tend to your turning heathens, and denying the whole Church? |
| A26906 | — But why judgest thou thy brother, or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? |
| A26906 | — Sed quomodo vos aliquid solvetis, ut sit solutum& in coelis, a coelo ob scelera adempti,& immanium peccatorum sun ● bus compediti? |
| A27051 | 11. from men that Judged before they knew? |
| A27051 | A man of credit, or an impudent Liar? |
| A27051 | Alas what a gulf should I plunge my Soul in? |
| A27051 | Alas what a number are there that are otherwise? |
| A27051 | All the Arguments that in disputation are used against him, how frivolous and foolish are they? |
| A27051 | Anatomy as being by ocular inspection hath had the best improvement; And yet what a multitude of uncertainties remain? |
| A27051 | And Christ himself did not in vain sum up all the Commandments in the love of God and Man, Nor in vain ask Peter thrice: Lovest thou me? |
| A27051 | And Miracles to be made a standing Church Ordinance? |
| A27051 | And O how common is this imposing Pride, even in them that cry out against it and condemn it? |
| A27051 | And all this ordinary course of Miracles to be wrought at the will of every Priest, be he never so ignorant or wicked a Man? |
| A27051 | And also how but on the word of a Priest you can know all that the Church hath determined? |
| A27051 | And also that it was not a total failing, rather than a failing in some degree that Peter was by that promise freed from? |
| A27051 | And are you sure that meer Christians will take all these for certain truths? |
| A27051 | And as for Philosophers and Judicious Speculators in Divinity, do I need to say, that the number is too small? |
| A27051 | And as for the Papists, what wonder is it, when their Religion is to believe as the Church believeth? |
| A27051 | And be built or preserved by the destruction of Christs Church? |
| A27051 | And can he be said indeed to know any Creature that knoweth it not in any of these respects that knoweth neither its Original, Order or Use? |
| A27051 | And can the Vote of a few such Fellows oblige all the World to renounce all their senses, who were never obliged to it before? |
| A27051 | And can the unlearned, or the unstudied part of Ministers then, with any modesty pretend a certainty, where so many and such men differ? |
| A27051 | And consequently what kind of Persons are to be well thought of as the Children of God? |
| A27051 | And do you think that there were no Christians or Churches all that while? |
| A27051 | And doth not Paul call it[ Bread] after consecration three times in the three next verses? |
| A27051 | And doth not the sad example of this Age, as well as all former Ages warn you to be fearful of what you entertain? |
| A27051 | And doth not this prove that we know but little? |
| A27051 | And doth the Intellect know that it knoweth by the very same act by which it knoweth other things? |
| A27051 | And every one in the Church, even all the wicked, and every Mouse that eateth the Host, to be partaker of a Miracle? |
| A27051 | And had I obeyed them, how many years ago had I been dead? |
| A27051 | And hath made to Godliness, the promise of this life and that to come, and will with- hold no good thing from them that walk uprightly? |
| A27051 | And he hath long made good that promise: Only ask thy self again and again as Christ did Peter, whether indeed thou love him? |
| A27051 | And how can it be avoided, while all men must pretend to know and judge, what indeed they are unable to understand? |
| A27051 | And how doth the Soul perceive its own Volitions? |
| A27051 | And how doth their Church know that it is Gods Word? |
| A27051 | And how know they that they say true? |
| A27051 | And how long shall our foolish Souls be loth to come into the Celestial light? |
| A27051 | And how then can any man be Certain what those points are which are necessary for him to believe? |
| A27051 | And how wise, expedient and vigilant must he be that will commit no such killing oversight? |
| A27051 | And if you can bear it from all the Sects save one, why not from that one also? |
| A27051 | And in cases of great Temptation, how insufficient is Learning to repel the Tempter, when it''s easily done by the holy Love of God and Goodness? |
| A27051 | And in what rather than about Faith and Publick Government and Order? |
| A27051 | And into what misery do foolish Prodigals run, who had rather have their portion in their own hand, than in their Fathers? |
| A27051 | And is not he as good an expositor of Christs Words as the Council of Trent? |
| A27051 | And is not our love, the fruit of his love? |
| A27051 | And is this to you a Certifying Evidence that indeed God revealed it, because their Church saith so? |
| A27051 | And shall I not expect good from so good a God, the cause of all the good that is in the World? |
| A27051 | And shall I rashly venture on such a danger, any more than I would do on Fornication, Drunkenness, or other sin? |
| A27051 | And shall it be harder to me to think well of Infinite Love and Goodness, than for my neighbours to trust me and think well of such a wretch as I? |
| A27051 | And shall this be called a saving love of God? |
| A27051 | And that his Word must be known to be his Word, by the same Evidence by one man and another? |
| A27051 | And to be able to overdo such gamesters, any more than to beat one at a game at Chess, or for a Physician to know the Pox or Leprosie? |
| A27051 | And what a multitude of young ones will some one Creature Procreate, especially Fishes to admiration? |
| A27051 | And what are the Pretences for all this? |
| A27051 | And what calling is there in which hasty judging and conceits of more knowledge than men have, doth not make great confusion and disappointment? |
| A27051 | And what is it that must perswade us to all this? |
| A27051 | And what is it that such men know or seem to know, which may be compared with their Ignorance? |
| A27051 | And what is that? |
| A27051 | And what is the Evidence by which they know, and are brought to consent? |
| A27051 | And what is the Omnipotent Power that doth this? |
| A27051 | And what is the pretence for all this? |
| A27051 | And what is this Spirit, but the Habit of Divine and Heavenly Love, and its concomitants? |
| A27051 | And what mischiefs doth it cause in Churches? |
| A27051 | And what more uniteth Souls than Love? |
| A27051 | And what mortal man can truly take the measure of them? |
| A27051 | And what pretence must justify all this? |
| A27051 | And what will cause love if all this will not? |
| A27051 | And when all''s done, how little do we obtain? |
| A27051 | And when did God work Miracles which were meer objects of belief against sense? |
| A27051 | And where men least love one another? |
| A27051 | And where mutual Hatred, Cruelty and Persecution, proclaim them much void of that love which is the Christian Badge? |
| A27051 | And where rather than in Councils? |
| A27051 | And who had not then rather hear the talk and prayers of a holy person, than the most accurate Logick or Mathematicks? |
| A27051 | And who is in the right among so many who all with confidence pretend to be in the right? |
| A27051 | And who more peremptory and bold in their judgments than those that least know what they say? |
| A27051 | And why did he make the Sun so Glorious? |
| A27051 | And why should it be hard to thee, O my Soul, to be perswaded of the love of God? |
| A27051 | And will a man full of Himself and his Own, be moved from his presumptions, by any thing that such a hated or scorned people can say? |
| A27051 | And yet alas, what enmity is used in the World against the Love of God and Man? |
| A27051 | And yet are we wise men? |
| A27051 | And yet have we not experience enough to teach us? |
| A27051 | And yet shall man be proud of Wit? |
| A27051 | And yet shall we not fear, but rage and be confident? |
| A27051 | Are all these precious things which die with Love, no better than to be sacrificed to the Clergies Pride and Worldly lusts? |
| A27051 | Are all your large Writings evident certainties? |
| A27051 | Are not Election, Creation, Redemption and Conversion acts of love? |
| A27051 | Are these wise men? |
| A27051 | Are we blind also? |
| A27051 | Are you sure that notwithstanding all this, God would have you avoid Communion with the Churches that in such Forms and Orders differ from you? |
| A27051 | As God is here seen as in a Glass, so is he loved: He that Loveth not his Brother whom he seeth daily, how shall he Love God, whom he never saw? |
| A27051 | At least you make Ignorant Persons happy that can but Love God, though they know not their Catechism? |
| A27051 | But I pray you ask these damning Sectaries, Is it believing your Word, and being of your Opinion that will save me? |
| A27051 | But Sir, I pray you, who shall do it? |
| A27051 | But above all, though nothing is perfectly known which is not methodically known; yet how few have a true methodical knowledge? |
| A27051 | But again I ask you, How you know that God biddeth or forbiddeth you any thing, if sense be not first to be believed? |
| A27051 | But alas, how low are our hopes? |
| A27051 | But are you content your selves to be kill''d by Love? |
| A27051 | But every side almost tells me that I am damned if I do not believe as they do? |
| A27051 | But hark you Sir, shall that one Man have a Wife or not? |
| A27051 | But how few of them unite on the terms of simple Christianity and Certainties? |
| A27051 | But how know you that ever you did hear or read or see a Book or Man? |
| A27051 | But how long will it seem so? |
| A27051 | But how loth should I be to take such sawce for my food, and such recreations for my business? |
| A27051 | But how must this be done? |
| A27051 | But how shall he know that this Scripture is Gods Word? |
| A27051 | But how shall strangers and posterity know when they read a History, whether the Writer was an honest Man or a Knave? |
| A27051 | But how then doth God love his Enemies? |
| A27051 | But if Wisdom were justified of none but her Children, how confidently durst I call my self a Son of Wisdom? |
| A27051 | But if there be so many things either uncertain or less- certain ▪ what is it that we are or may be fully certain of? |
| A27051 | But if they were not Evident Truths before, what made those Prelates conclude them for Truths? |
| A27051 | But is it not possible for sense to be deceived? |
| A27051 | But must their Church live on Blood? |
| A27051 | But shall I doubt whether he that made the Sun, be Father of lights, and whether he know his dwelling, and his continued works? |
| A27051 | But suppose it were so that to love the Creature were to love God, is not then the hating of the Creature the hating of God? |
| A27051 | But suppose them mistaken; hast thou tryed that they are unwilling to be instructed? |
| A27051 | But sure this is not the first knowing that we know? |
| A27051 | But that prevaileth not, and yet it is undone? |
| A27051 | But the POPE must be PRINCIPIUM UNITATIS: And will all Christians certainly Unite in the Pope? |
| A27051 | But the Question is, What soundness of Reason or proof that this is God''s Word, is necessary to make it a Sanctifying Faith? |
| A27051 | But were they not stronger after all these cruelties than before? |
| A27051 | But what Knowledge must it be? |
| A27051 | But what is this believing him? |
| A27051 | But what is this to the Love of God which the Text speaketh of? |
| A27051 | But what''s all this to foolish conceit that you know what you do not? |
| A27051 | But what''s become then of the contrary evidence which appeared before to these dissenters? |
| A27051 | But which is the Church, my Lord? |
| A27051 | But who will desire the Wisdom that maketh a man never the better? |
| A27051 | But would they not yet speed worse if they used you as much? |
| A27051 | But you''l say,[ We can be no wiser than we are: If we do the best we can, what can we do more? |
| A27051 | By Hearing or Reading? |
| A27051 | Can Persecutors for shame Hang and Burn men for meer Ignorance, who are willing to learn, and will thankfully from any man receive information? |
| A27051 | Can not God do it? |
| A27051 | Can our common poor Labourers,( especially Husbandmen) have leisure to inform their minds with Philosophy or curious Speculations? |
| A27051 | Consider how communicative this Infinite Goodness is: Why else is he called LOVE it self? |
| A27051 | Could I ever have truly loved Him, his Word, his Ways and Servants, but by the reflection of his love? |
| A27051 | Did I say, It is a doubt? |
| A27051 | Did not Christ prefer mercy before Sabbath rest, and before the avoiding familiarity with sinners? |
| A27051 | Did they know them to be such without Evidence? |
| A27051 | Do not some of those men whom thou so Magisterially condemnest, study as hard and as impartially as thy self? |
| A27051 | Do they not live as well, and shew as much tenderness of Conscience, and fear of erring and sinning as thy self? |
| A27051 | Do they not pray as hard for Gods assistance? |
| A27051 | Do we live in such weakness, and shall we not know it? |
| A27051 | Do we not justly account it as unfit a work for the Lords day to be for pleasure perusing Maps, as to be for pleasure viewing the Woods and Fields? |
| A27051 | Do you long to be liker to God in your capacity, and more near him and united to him? |
| A27051 | Do you long to have Families, Cities, Kingdoms and all the World, made truly Holy, Wise and united in Love to one another? |
| A27051 | Do you love Wisdom and Goodness in your selves, and not in others only? |
| A27051 | Do you love the holy Laws of God, as they express that holy Wisdom and Love, which is his perfection? |
| A27051 | Do you love them as they would rule the World in Holiness, and bring mankind to true wisdom and mutual love? |
| A27051 | Do you love to have Wisdom and Goodness, and Love as Universal as is possible? |
| A27051 | Do you perceive any Substances Intellectually or not? |
| A27051 | Do you truely love the Image of God on the Soul of Man? |
| A27051 | Doth God know all things, or not? |
| A27051 | Doth a Dog or a Goose know a Book of Philosophy, because he looketh on it, and seeth the bulk? |
| A27051 | Doth he know a Clock or Watch, who knoweth no more of it, but that it hath such Parts and Shapes, made of Iron and Brass? |
| A27051 | Doth he rule us by a Law, or not,& c? |
| A27051 | Doth not God say, he that seeketh shall find; and wisdom must be laboriously searched for, as a hidden treasure? |
| A27051 | Doth not God''s Loving us make us Happy? |
| A27051 | Ease and Pain will have their end: It is the end that must teach us how to estimate them: And who but God can foretell thee the end? |
| A27051 | Even those Controversies in which you have so many Adversaries? |
| A27051 | For how should we be sure of that one above all the rest? |
| A27051 | For who hath known the mind of the Lord? |
| A27051 | For, how little knoweth that man who knoweth not his own Ignorance? |
| A27051 | Gassendus often; and who not? |
| A27051 | Goodness not- sensible, Certainly apprehended by the Intellectual Soul, not only sub ratione Veri, sed& Boni? |
| A27051 | Had Christ his humane Soul from the Virgin, or only his flesh? |
| A27051 | Had he his Manhood from Man, if not his Soul, which is the chief essential part? |
| A27051 | Had our Salvation been laid upon our Learning a Body of true Philosophy, how desperate would our case have been? |
| A27051 | Hath Christ commanded you any thing before it, except the Love of God? |
| A27051 | Hath not God made f ● oli ● h the wisdom of this world? |
| A27051 | Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this World? |
| A27051 | Hath not pride made thy silly wit to be as an Idol, to which all must bow down on pain of the heat of thy displeasure? |
| A27051 | Have I heard him speak for himself? |
| A27051 | Have they not the same Books, and as good Teachers? |
| A27051 | Having given me so precious a gift as his Son, will he think any thing too good to give me? |
| A27051 | He that knoweth the King''s Impress, and the Value, and what it is good for, and how to get and use it? |
| A27051 | He that saith he loveth God, and hateth his Brother, is a Liar? |
| A27051 | Heaven is a state of Joyful Complacence; and what is that but Perfect Love? |
| A27051 | His common Influx all creatures receive? |
| A27051 | How Divine, how High and Noble is this life; To live in a humble friendship with God and all his holy ones? |
| A27051 | How are Infants saved that have neither Knowledge nor Love? |
| A27051 | How can you possibly know how much more may be unknown to you? |
| A27051 | How doth he know that these men do not lie? |
| A27051 | How easily is a man''s Judgment tempted to think well of that which he loveth, and ill of that which his heart is against? |
| A27051 | How else should Souls have Communion with God? |
| A27051 | How false must a great number of the Historians on one side be? |
| A27051 | How few are much the wiser for them? |
| A27051 | How highly did these people think of their own wisdom and holiness, while they cryed down Laces, Points and Cuffs? |
| A27051 | How is God our End? |
| A27051 | How know you that here is no Bread and Wine? |
| A27051 | How know you that? |
| A27051 | How knoweth the Lay- man that ever the Church made such a decree? |
| A27051 | How known? |
| A27051 | How little of the Divine Artifice is known in the composition of mixt Bodies? |
| A27051 | How long Lord shall this Dungeon be our dwelling? |
| A27051 | How long hath he kept thee safe in the midst of dangers? |
| A27051 | How many Methods of Logick have we? |
| A27051 | How many Sects and Opinions in Religion? |
| A27051 | How many such a wound hath poor Durandus suffered? |
| A27051 | How ordinary is this? |
| A27051 | How shall one that would learn Philosophy know in this Age, what Sect to follow, or what Guide to chuse? |
| A27051 | How shall we know certainly which are the true uncorrupted writings of these Fathers among so many forgeries and spurious Scripts? |
| A27051 | How shall we know which side to be on? |
| A27051 | I ask it of each particular Bishop in that Council, Is he saved for believing himself or the rest? |
| A27051 | I ask not only whether your opinion will make you say that this Society and State is best? |
| A27051 | I know not what the meaning of a Reflect act is: Is it the same act which is called Direct and Reflect? |
| A27051 | I must expect that opening the Crime will exasperate the Guilty: But what remedy? |
| A27051 | I therefore ask the Infidel Objector, whether he shall be saved that loveth God in one respect, and hateth him in another? |
| A27051 | I think that God nor Man have no true need of a lie in this case; and that lies seldom further mens Salvation? |
| A27051 | IF so much knowledge will save a man as helpeth him to love God as God, may not Heathens or Infidels at least be saved? |
| A27051 | If by Evidence, let it be produced? |
| A27051 | If he be asked[ Sir, did you ever try?] |
| A27051 | If it be true and good, why do they hate and revile them that would live in the serious practice of it, if they will not practise it themselves? |
| A27051 | If it come especially to the characterizing of others, how ordinarily do men speak as they are affected? |
| A27051 | If no man be saved for believing himself, why should another be saved for believing him? |
| A27051 | If not, how shall we know in what to believe their consent, according to this Rule? |
| A27051 | If not, the Kingdom will die with him? |
| A27051 | If not, why do they use it, and never blame it? |
| A27051 | If not, why pretend you that there are any? |
| A27051 | If only by this Revelation, how know you that Revelation? |
| A27051 | If religion be bad, and our faith be not true, why do these men profess it? |
| A27051 | If sense be fallible here, why not there? |
| A27051 | If so much Knowledge will save Men as causeth them To Love God, may not Heathens be saved who know God to be good, and therefore may Love him? |
| A27051 | If so, why is it called Reflect, and what is that reflection? |
| A27051 | If the Greek Church can be corrupted into so gross a foolery, why may not the Latine, and the English, if they had the same temptations? |
| A27051 | If the Inquisitors Torment Protestants, or Burn them, is it not necessary that they call them by such odious names as may justify their fact? |
| A27051 | If the former, then is it as necessary to Salvation to know how old Henoch was, as to know that Jesus Christ is our Saviour? |
| A27051 | If they are too ignorant, how come you to be wiser? |
| A27051 | If they that never used a Trade, should presently take themselves to be as wise as the longest practicers, who would be Apprentices? |
| A27051 | If you are not, why will you not learn of him? |
| A27051 | If you are not, why will you not learn? |
| A27051 | If you are wise enough already, what need you a Teacher? |
| A27051 | If you ask me, when this desire of common Learning is inordinate? |
| A27051 | If you were wiser than He, why did you choose or take him for your Teacher? |
| A27051 | Is any Infallible besides the Pope and his Council? |
| A27051 | Is any thing more evident than that all men must be saved for Believing God? |
| A27051 | Is he our Owner, or not? |
| A27051 | Is it a greater evil than the destruction of Love that you would avoid? |
| A27051 | Is it any great honour to know the vanity of Philosophical Pedantry? |
| A27051 | Is it because Scripture or Councils say so? |
| A27051 | Is it by any certifying Evidence, or by Prophetical Inspiration? |
| A27051 | Is it not blaspheming God? |
| A27051 | Is it not revealed to others as well as to them? |
| A27051 | Is it not then an unspeakable comfort in all these cases that we are known of God? |
| A27051 | Is not here Self- conceitedness in all( at least) save one? |
| A27051 | Is not the love of God like to be least, where Contentions and Controversies divert the peoples minds from God and necessary saving Truths? |
| A27051 | Is there no Remedy, no Hope from Thee, though there be none from Man? |
| A27051 | Is this an Intellect to be proud of? |
| A27051 | Is your worldly interest on that side that your opinion is for? |
| A27051 | It can be none of the former; therefore it must be the latter: And how can the understanding find that in sense which was never there? |
| A27051 | It is a natural Impossibility: For Evidence is nothing but the perceptibility of the Truth: And can we perceive that which is not perceptible? |
| A27051 | It is not their own words: Doth a Pope believe himself only? |
| A27051 | It is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,& c. Where is the wise? |
| A27051 | LOVE is the great command and summary of all the Law: And what can be a just pretence for breaking the greatest command, yea, and the whole Law? |
| A27051 | Let them not go beyond their knowledge: How little of our kind of Physick did the old Physicians( Hypocrates, Galius, Celsus,& c.) give? |
| A27051 | Let unbelievers say, How doth God know? |
| A27051 | Many a man spendeth all the studies of his Life, more for a Fame of Learning than for Learning it self; what is Pride if this be not? |
| A27051 | May a Papist or an Heretick by his knowledge be a lover of God as God? |
| A27051 | May not a Papist or Heretick Love God and be saved? |
| A27051 | Miracles to become ordinary things, through all the Churches in the World, and every day in the week or every hour to be done? |
| A27051 | Must Sense be renounced and ordinary Miracles believed for such words as these? |
| A27051 | Must not that Evidence convince us also? |
| A27051 | Must not we have a Faith of the same kind as the Church hath? |
| A27051 | Must their doctrine be kept up by silencing faithful Ministers? |
| A27051 | Must we believe therefore that neither David nor Christ was a Man, but a Worm? |
| A27051 | Nature teacheth us to loath death as death, and to desire, if it might be, that this Cup might pass by us? |
| A27051 | Nay, it is well if when they have increased knowledge they increase not sorrow? |
| A27051 | Nay, will he not be hardened in his self- conceit, because it is such as these that contradict him? |
| A27051 | No Gospel daily preached and practised? |
| A27051 | No Knowledge of the Lords Prayer and Commandements? |
| A27051 | Now after ye have known God, or rather are known of of God? |
| A27051 | O how much goeth to make an able Physician? |
| A27051 | O that Ministers would be wiser at last, than to put their superfluities, their controversies, and private opinions into their Catechisms? |

| A27051 | Or is it certain that all Christians will Unite in Patriarchs? |
| A27051 | Or is it not an over- valuing of thy own understanding, which makes thee so easily condemn all as unsufferable that differ from it? |
| A27051 | Or must I also know by scientifical Evidence that you say true, and that God himself hath said what you say? |
| A27051 | Or no Profession of the Christian Faith in distinct Articles? |

| A27051 | Shall I not easily hope for good from him, who hath made such a covenant of Grace with me in Christ? |
| A27051 | Shall I say, SUSPEND TILL YOU HAVE TRUE EVIDENCE, and you are safe? |
| A27051 | So often heard my prayers in distress, and hath made all my life, notwithstanding my sins, a continual wonder of his mercies? |
| A27051 | Specially in the work of self- judging, how hard a work have the most Learned that are ungodly truely to know themselves? |
| A27051 | Such obloquy had Hierome, such had Augustine himself, and who knoweth not that Envy is Virtues Shadow? |
| A27051 | That even one mans Life is more precious than one mans maintenance, or fuller supply: Is it not honester to beg your bread? |
| A27051 | That ever the Bishops of that Council were lawfully called? |
| A27051 | That is, a Heavenly Life, and Light, and Love? |

| A27051 | The prouder the Obtruder of his own conceits is, the more he condemneth all Dissenters as proud, for presuming to differ from such as he? |
| A27051 | Then so must we: It is not the present Church then that I must believe by a saving Faith: But why then was the last Age saved, and so the former? |
| A27051 | To say no more of Rome, O that the Reformed Churches themselves had been more innocent? |
| A27051 | Was it not labour enough to study so many years to know what others say? |
| A27051 | Well, and Patriarchs must be the Pillars of Unity: But was it so to the Unity of the first Churches? |
| A27051 | Were it but Poverty alone, how much of our time will it alienate from contemplation? |

| A26955 | And shall Justice it self be judged to be unjust? |
| A26955 | And that self- deceit should be increased, by the glass of verity that should undeceive you? |
| A26955 | And then, will Pride preserve them from the knowledge of it? |
| A26955 | And to hear a carnal unregenerate person give thanks for his Regeneration and Sanctification by the Holy Ghost? |
| A26955 | And what an ease and pleasure is this to a mans mind through all his life, to be able with well- grounded comfort, to think of death? |

| A26955 | And will he refuse thee? |
| A26955 | And will you refuse this Mercy, and by no entreaty yield to have it, and yet think to be saved by it? |
| A26955 | And will you reproach God or his word or works, or Ministers, with that which is the matter of his Praise? |
| A26955 | And will you say, We preach not Mercy, because we tell you, that Mercy will not save you, if you continue to reject it? |
| A26955 | And would not a man think that such words as these should waken the guilty soul that doth believe them? |
| A26955 | And would you not more highly value him, more importunately solicite him for your soules, if you knew your selves? |
| A26955 | And yet would you think, that with all this Humility, there should be any pride? |

| A26955 | But a Pharisee will say[ Are we blind also?] |
| A26955 | But how came they to continue thus ignorant of themselves till it was too late? |
| A26955 | But if it be true, tell me, Why would you not know it? |
| A26955 | But if you are unregenerate and unjustified, what will you do at death and judgement? |
| A26955 | But if you confess it to be true, do you think in reason, it should be silenced? |
| A26955 | But if you confess that once you were children of wrath, my next Question is, Whether you know how and whe ● you were delivered from so sad a state? |

| A26955 | Do you now take a civilized person for a Saint? |
| A26955 | Do you take it now for true Religion to be hot for lust, and pride, and gain, and cold for God and you Salvation? |
| A26955 | Do you think our saying so, would make it so? |

| A43841 | 8. hath said higher than those Parliament Soldiers that I was most acquainted with? |
| A43841 | Alas Sir, is not repentance better than hiding slander by palpable untruth? |
| A43841 | And are there any Divisions so bitter? |
| A43841 | And by some Scolia upon the Liturgy, and their own Arts, give the meaning of every Paragraph, and word in both? |
| A43841 | And did you never hear of Mr. John Goodwin? |
| A43841 | And do you know what all the Justices in England are ready to do? |
| A43841 | And do you not know,( that write about the Cause) that the War was not founded in Theological Differences, but in Law Differences? |
| A43841 | And do you oppose that Hypothesis which the King had expresly put into the words of his Commission, so far as to appoint Men to alter it? |
| A43841 | And does your Conscience cheek you at this Instant only? |
| A43841 | And doth not Dr. Heylin largely shew you, that there were but five Bishops joyned at first with Bishop Laud? |
| A43841 | And doth not he endeavour an alteration, who Petitioneth the King or Parliament for it? |
| A43841 | And for me; let it lye there: yet''t is worth their second thoughts, Whether such dealings are not Iniquity? |
| A43841 | And have not these People been visited for this? |
| A43841 | And have these Leopards( do you think) chang''d their Spots? |
| A43841 | And have we not a Cause? |
| A43841 | And if the Publick Minister can not spare so much time from his Studies; why should others be hindred from so good a work? |
| A43841 | And is it lawful to swear to the unlawful part think you? |
| A43841 | And is it not as easie with you to contemn another in stead of answering it, as that? |
| A43841 | And is not Davila a false Historian? |
| A43841 | And is that all one as to say, I never medled with the War? |
| A43841 | And is that all the Oath; or is there not a Clause for our Church- Government? |
| A43841 | And is there any sense or strength in such an Answer? |
| A43841 | And is your printed Clamour come to this? |
| A43841 | And may not we now promise Obedience to them in things lawful? |
| A43841 | And must Davila a Papist be credited against Bishop Jewel, Bishop Bilson, King James, and many other on the other side? |
| A43841 | And must I be put to defend the King against such Men and Principles, at the same time when we are charged with that which we oppose? |
| A43841 | And must not the main Body of the Clergy then be your Church? |
| A43841 | And mutual kindness towards all Men? |
| A43841 | And now what is the connexion of your Premises and Conclusion? |
| A43841 | And shall not we have so much Prudence, as to reunite our selves, now our Enemies are not only hovering, but ready to fall directly upon our heads? |
| A43841 | And shall our Sins so bow down our Backs, that we must fear those whom we have Conquered? |
| A43841 | And shall we scatter our selves into Parties, and crumble and divide our selves into small Gobbets? |
| A43841 | And since it became Christian; how have the Streets thereof been fill''d with Blood, from one end to the other, in the several Persecutions? |
| A43841 | And since one or two of these Innovators, are so pregnant with quarrels, in our narrow Precincts; what Earthquakes? |
| A43841 | And tell me if this be the Doctrine which you count it your chief preferment to preach? |
| A43841 | And that Arch- Bishop Vsher reduced Episcopacy to Novelty, when he pretended to reduce it to the ancient Form? |
| A43841 | And this is not strange in them, when some Lawyers have mooted the Case; Whether there be any Penalties remaining, for Drunkards, and Whoremasters? |
| A43841 | And was it not time to call in Aid? |
| A43841 | And what if it come down yet ten degrees more? |
| A43841 | And what of that? |
| A43841 | And what say you of the Practice now? |
| A43841 | And what say you to this? |
| A43841 | And what you speak to is so managed, as if our Question had not been, whether you had spoken well and truly? |
| A43841 | And what? |
| A43841 | And when you have taught the Papists to say that Andrews,& c. spake falsly, how will you prove it? |
| A43841 | And when you talk of Vulgar Capacities, do you not reproach the Reverend Bishops as Vulgar Capacities, in print? |
| A43841 | And whether it be lawful to print such a Book? |
| A43841 | And who dare say that we are bound in every thing they did, to follow their Example? |
| A43841 | And who knows but( as Montanus said of the Holy Ghost) Quakers and Fifth- monarchy- men might have had their turns? |
| A43841 | And who knows, but Authority( if desir''d) may dispense with the Letter of the Law in such a Case? |
| A43841 | And will wiping my Mouth thus make me innocent? |
| A43841 | And yet you say, Are they not ready,& c. What wonder if Oaths go smoothly down, where there are such Resolvers? |
| A43841 | And you ask me, Why then did they flit their Habitations? |
| A43841 | Are Men turn''d into Hogs, and Hogs into Men? |
| A43841 | Are Oaths necessary to be sworn to the Clergy? |
| A43841 | Are new Oaths necessary to be sworn by us to the Clergy, which never were necessary till of late? |
| A43841 | Are not many things in Parliament ascrib''d to the Lords Spiritual, which were transacted by their Proxies? |
| A43841 | Are not negative and affirmative Interrogations in Scripture equivalent to plain Negations and Affirmations? |
| A43841 | Are not these Controversies in Law and Politicks, though handled by Divines? |
| A43841 | Are not these the best Commentary on their practise? |
| A43841 | Are not you of their mind? |
| A43841 | Are there any Laws so Draconical? |
| A43841 | Are these written to vindicate the Truth? |
| A43841 | Are they like to be our Assistants, in promoting the work of Peace? |
| A43841 | Are they so purely Spiritual, as to labour for the wind? |
| A43841 | Are we not now under Anathema''s enough in the Canons if we obey not? |
| A43841 | Are we the King and Parliament? |
| A43841 | Are you Secretary to him, who at one glance sees them, who have Eyes and see not, or else see but perceive not? |
| A43841 | Are you like to prove a good Samaritan to our bleeding Church? |
| A43841 | Are you such a walking Library? |
| A43841 | Are you sure they will all agree in the sense? |
| A43841 | As King Charles the first told them Anno 1628. and may not the Justices in the Country declare what was the sense of the Judges? |
| A43841 | Athei,& Ethnici( Cur non asini caput adorâssè? |
| A43841 | Away with these Heats; let''s tear one the other in pieces no longer: Can you blame me for saying such dissentions make Musick at Rome? |
| A43841 | Baldwin Senior, or Mr. Spilsbury, or which of all the rest do you mean? |
| A43841 | But I pray, Sir, forget not to tell me in your next what one Non- conformist was silenced on the account of insufficiency? |
| A43841 | But Sir, consider your Dogmatical Aphorism; Can not a Question be false? |
| A43841 | But Sir, was you led aside by Hooker, to what you did and wrote? |
| A43841 | But Sir, what mean you by your Church, which they kept not close to? |
| A43841 | But Sir, you might have understood my Inference: Why then do you pretend a false Reason of our refusal, when we tell you the true Reason? |
| A43841 | But did I say, that I am parted from your Society? |
| A43841 | But how many of those were never in any Sequestration; and must not they preach the Gospel for the sake of others? |
| A43841 | But if I thought so, is Petitioning no Endeavouring? |
| A43841 | But in our case; how are words, and sentences wrested, and tenter''d beyond the Grammar, and intention of them? |
| A43841 | But instead of that, you exclaim,[ This is strange] and you ask me,[ Did I never hear of Dr. Ferne, Mr. Dudley Digs?] |
| A43841 | But is this an Historical Vntruth? |
| A43841 | But must we be silenced because we be not such as these Conformists, or must these also be silenced with us? |
| A43841 | But quorsum haec? |
| A43841 | But since you say, That Lay- Chancellors exercise the Power of the Keys in Excommunications; do they do this of themselves, as Lay- men? |
| A43841 | But sure you were too credulous, and easie to be deceiv''d by your Informer; were they Episcopal Men that cry''d, To your Tents O Israel? |
| A43841 | But tell me true; should you re- assume your Chair, would you continue in this courteous Moode? |
| A43841 | But were there so few Non- conformists in England before the War? |
| A43841 | But what did those three men lose by their Imprisonment? |
| A43841 | But what is there in that Model that is so intolerable now? |
| A43841 | But what mean you by saying, That they excommunicate by vertue of those Surrogates,& c. Do you mean that Surrogates give the Chancellor his Power? |
| A43841 | But what need is there of elaborate Reasons against toyes? |
| A43841 | But what of all this? |
| A43841 | But what thought you of when you call me to obey old Establishments, and not invent now ones, and set the People on gadding after Innovations? |
| A43841 | But what''s that to a difference between the Parties in their Religious Principles? |
| A43841 | But what''s that to the lawfulness of taking up Arms? |
| A43841 | But what''s that to the many hundred that did not? |
| A43841 | But who are the Honest Conformists? |
| A43841 | But why are you so incens''d against Lay- Chancellors? |
| A43841 | But why should we swear Allegiance to Bishops? |
| A43841 | But you add,[ Do they do this of themselves as Lay- men, or do they not? |
| A43841 | But, Quid tanto dignum feret hic promissor hiatu? |
| A43841 | Can not I say that the Episcopal began it without clearing those that did second them; or the Sectaries that carried it on to the end? |
| A43841 | Can that be for the advantage of the Church, which is not according to the Truth? |
| A43841 | Can they reverse and retrench Laws? |
| A43841 | Caroli? |
| A43841 | Censure? |
| A43841 | Christ himself was troubled at the loss of one Apostle: He also put an Accent of Sorrow upon these words to his Disciples — Will ye also go away? |
| A43841 | Did I not expresly tell you why? |
| A43841 | Did I say that they were free? |
| A43841 | Did he and all the Clergy, and Parliaments, that went his way, forsake the Church of England? |
| A43841 | Did it any way hinder Parliament Mens speaking, or others peaceably petitioning for such reformation as is necessary? |
| A43841 | Did it any way hinder Parliament Mens speaking? |
| A43841 | Did not Hazael seem to abhor the ripping up of Women with Child? |
| A43841 | Did not St. Paul complain of those who would exclude him out of the Affections of the People? |
| A43841 | Did not they Covenant too, to preserve the late King in his Person, and Honour? |
| A43841 | Did they all fight against one another? |
| A43841 | Did they not all equally abhor the War? |
| A43841 | Did we cast any out,( how bad soever;) some did perhaps, or had a hand in it? |
| A43841 | Did we silence any Man? |
| A43841 | Did you never hear of Dr. Ferne? |
| A43841 | Did you never read, that the Nobles of Jehosaphat went about all the Cities of Juda, and taught the People? |
| A43841 | Did you really think that our Establishment was elder than the days of the Apostles of Ignatius? |
| A43841 | Do not you know that the Bishop of Alexandria had all Aegypt, Lybia, and Pentapolis, under him? |
| A43841 | Do such words satisfie your Conscience, for the falsifying of such notorious matters of Fact? |
| A43841 | Do these Men grow more than others, in the dimensions of Religion, by their gadding up and down? |
| A43841 | Do they not think themselves the best of Subjects, to whom so great a favour is vouchsafed? |
| A43841 | Do you call five Sheets a few Lines? |
| A43841 | Do you confute any of it? |
| A43841 | Do you deny? |
| A43841 | Do you name a Man as an instance of my mistake, or can you do it? |
| A43841 | Do you not know how much, yea very much more we yielded to, than ever Hildersham, whom you praise, or the other old Non- conformist would have done? |
| A43841 | Do you thus requite the King? |
| A43841 | Do''s it not harden them? |
| A43841 | Does God stand in need of our Lies? |
| A43841 | Does this savour of humility in preferring our selves before others? |
| A43841 | Does this( say you, savour of any sense at all to Souls? |
| A43841 | Doth not the Canon Anathematize them that deny the Convocation to be the Representative Church? |
| A43841 | Doth the Bishop commit it to the Surrogate, and the Surrogate to the Chancellors, and the Chancellors to the Official? |
| A43841 | Doth this savour of any sense at all of a love to Souls? |
| A43841 | Episcopal? |
| A43841 | For what benefit can be expected by it? |
| A43841 | For who would unmuzzle a fierce Panther, that would worry him that sets his Chops at liberty? |
| A43841 | Goodwin, Mr. Bridges, Mr. Calamy,& c. And what of all that? |
| A43841 | Had Bishop Abbot liv''d, do you think he would have espoused the Parliaments Cause? |
| A43841 | Haeccine in publicum benevolentia? |
| A43841 | Has not Religion been prostituted to the Lusts of Men? |
| A43841 | Has not the Altar it self been formerly polluted? |
| A43841 | Has not the Diana of Disobedience been cry''d up, by Preaching and Prayer? |
| A43841 | Have not we seen their Actions quite contrary? |
| A43841 | Have not you seen Anabaptism with one foot in the Stirrup? |
| A43841 | Have private Men a Legislative Power? |
| A43841 | Have they forgotten to Judge? |
| A43841 | Have they forgotten to Sequester? |
| A43841 | Have we leave to preach when we are ejected out of the Places of Maintenance? |
| A43841 | Have we not in 1660. yielded to more than ever Ball, or any of the old Non- conformists yielded to? |
| A43841 | Have we retracted our Doctrine or Consent to the Church Articles, or to the Oaths of Allegiance or Supremacy? |
| A43841 | Have we the fifth part? |
| A43841 | How Natural is it for Men, to procure fame to themselves, and leave others under Reproach? |
| A43841 | How Tragically does be cry out, against the Translation of some Texts, in the Epistles, Gospels, and Psalmes? |
| A43841 | How are you sure that I am not able to endure the light of the Truth? |
| A43841 | How can we depend upon their Kindness? |
| A43841 | How can you hope to heal our Divisions, and to wooe our English World into mutual love? |
| A43841 | How cold and perfunctory are many of us in our Ministerial Imploys? |
| A43841 | How could a non- ens be free or guilty? |
| A43841 | How could we then foretel that, when we gave them in? |
| A43841 | How did Calvin and Beza labour with their Favourers here to promote their Discipline? |
| A43841 | How does he strain some things in the Act for uniformity, and also in the Liturgy; until the very Blood follow? |
| A43841 | How does it follow? |
| A43841 | How oft did Christ and his Apostles quote Texts out of the Old Testament? |
| A43841 | How shall I do such wickedness, and sin against God? |
| A43841 | How shall I please you? |
| A43841 | How such a Work will please the Diocesan Party? |
| A43841 | How transparent and thin is that Answer? |
| A43841 | How you shall be kept out of Goal? |
| A43841 | I account it my chiefest preferment to preach the Gospel; ergo, you ask me, whether this Gospel which I preach be the unlimited Power of Princes? |
| A43841 | I did, as you say, desire you to name the Theological Differences, if you know any, for I never did: And what say you to this? |
| A43841 | I fear, this melancholick Discourse, has made you sad: And indeed, who can be otherwise? |
| A43841 | I had said Mr. Cartwright wrangled himself into Conformity: you say it is well done of you to write an historical untruth so boldly? |
| A43841 | I had said that of those 1800 silent Ministers, how many of them have much more learning than your English Books have taught them? |
| A43841 | I had said, — Would Episcopal Men root out Episcopacy? |
| A43841 | I knew not so much before, nor believe it now; or doth the Chancellor represent the Surrogate, and do it in his name? |
| A43841 | I know Innocency is best: But can any Man think it would please such Men? |
| A43841 | I know the Devoto''s of our Age will startle at this: What? |
| A43841 | I may allude to the words of God himself,( I hope without offence) Is your way equal? |
| A43841 | I only said,[ Was Arch- bishop Abbot a Presbyterian?] |
| A43841 | If it be otherwise, what need any Man say, Their — be on us, and on our Children? |
| A43841 | If none deal plainly with offending Preachers, how much worse is their condition than the Peoples? |
| A43841 | If not, what way of Discipline is it that startles at it, unless you mean Military Discipline? |
| A43841 | If so, why is the first Clause the Sum of the whole? |
| A43841 | If they were not the worst among you, who do conform, no doubt you think them so? |
| A43841 | If this way be lawful, what if a Papist could find a Justice that would expound the Oath of Supremacy for the Pope? |
| A43841 | If we should go to all Houses, and deal with the People there, in private; how soon might we wound our Names? |
| A43841 | If you can do it, why have not you done it? |
| A43841 | If you knew it not, did it beseem you to meddle in Print, where you know no better what you do oppose? |
| A43841 | In quantam errorum voraginem immerguntur, quibus doctrinae fundamina desiderantur? |
| A43841 | In what a dismal Condition is the poor Pilgrim? |
| A43841 | Indeed I thought those words needless and superfluous: For what Parish Ministers had any hand in your silence? |
| A43841 | Independency, Presbytery? |
| A43841 | Into how many Shapes can you transform your self? |
| A43841 | Is 1650 years ago the time of Novelties to us, and our establishment the true Antiquity? |
| A43841 | Is a Troop, a Regiment, and one Army of the same Species? |
| A43841 | Is any Man so mad( especially an Episcopal Parliament) as to think all War lawful against the King, which is for Religion? |
| A43841 | Is any of their Power or Negative Voice taken away? |
| A43841 | Is it Episcopal Discipline that you mean? |
| A43841 | Is it disingenious to learn of you where the sin lies, that we may avoid it? |
| A43841 | Is it not a dismaying Spectacle, to see Mount Gerazim, and Mount Ebal to strut, and swell; as if they would either confront, or confound Mount Zion? |
| A43841 | Is it not all the Justices in England that are authorized( two at once) to administer it? |
| A43841 | Is it strange dealing, and disingenious, to call for the Reasons of Non- conformity? |
| A43841 | Is it the Preachers or the People that suffer more? |
| A43841 | Is it this you would have? |
| A43841 | Is it unlawful to promise or swear to be obedient to Bishops, in rebus licitis& honestis? |
| A43841 | Is not the Law- maker the universal Expositor of his own Law; except for the Judicial decision of a particular Case which he committeth to his Judges? |
| A43841 | Is not the Roman Eagle ready to prey and quarry upon us all? |
| A43841 | Is not the same Fervent Swelling still among us? |
| A43841 | Is not this Canononical Obedience? |
| A43841 | Is not this an inauspicious and ominous Presage, what is like to follow? |
| A43841 | Is not this enough to make your Students to throw away their Books? |
| A43841 | Is not this to have hot and feaverish Heads? |
| A43841 | Is not this to play the Wantons, with those things which are most Sacred? |
| A43841 | Is not this, to slight, contemn, reproach, and discourage their own painful Ministers, who watch for their Souls? |
| A43841 | Is one farthing taken by it from their Estates? |
| A43841 | Is one tittle taken from the Bishops or Arch- bishops Honour? |

| A43841 | That preach''d — Curse ye Meroz? |
| A43841 | The Children of this world, are wise in their Generation, to maintain their Notorious Errors: How much more should we be wise in guarding the Truth? |

| A43841 | They were Monsters sure; for would Episcopal Men conspire to root up Episcopacy? |
| A43841 | This is all one, as to enquire, whether Huxters, or Mercenary Men, will refuse their Advantage? |
| A43841 | This was our Case; and were we requited as we had done? |
| A43841 | To defend the Out- works, and lose the main Fort? |
| A43841 | To get Mammon, and to part with Religion? |

| A43841 | When also He Prohibited any to take the Covenant, by his Royal Proclamation; Do you call to mind any one of these new Royalists, that did obey it? |
| A43841 | When the Covenant was justly charged to be unlawful, from the very articulate sound of the words: with what tenderness, and softness was it sens''d? |
| A43841 | When you disputed in the Schools, would you have taken it, for a good Answer? |
| A43841 | When you have named me the Men that used those words, I will answer you whether they were Episcopal? |

| A43841 | Whether you think if I should write such a Book, that the Diocesane Party would not be much more offended and angry, than if I had said nothing? |
| A43841 | Who gave you Commission to make an Inclosure of that which lay in Common? |
| A43841 | Who gave you commission to read my thoughts backward? |

| A43841 | Who will care, what Volumes were written against him? |
| A43841 | Who would have thought that a word or two of advice and seasonable counsel should have merited such harsh and Passionate Censures? |
| A43841 | Why all this do you think? |

| A43841 | You ask, Is it Prelatical Discipline? |
| A43841 | You dare say, that Kings may not be excommunicated, unless perhaps in some rare Case; pray who shall be Judges of that Case? |
| A43841 | You faintly demand, — How many of these were never in any Sequestrations, and must not they preach the Gospel? |
| A43841 | You have not prov''d their Practise such, and is your printed Clamour come to this? |
| A43841 | You say,[ Some of my own Books have not an Imprimatur] why would you say so, before you knew it? |
| A43841 | You say,[ Would Episcopal Men conspire to root out Episcopacy?] |

| A26959 | Again he tells us of Thuanus, and tells not where, as if we must read over five volumes in folio to be able to disprove such a Tale- teller as this? |
| A26959 | And I pray you tell me yet a little better, how an act can make a man a Church- member that was one long before that was done? |
| A26959 | And are not the Independents more against Traditions now than the Britains were? |
| A26959 | And are these Waldenses and this man to he believed of them too? |
| A26959 | And are they therefore Anabaptists? |
| A26959 | And are we therefore against Infant- baptism? |
| A26959 | And can Mr. Danvers now tell us that they held that which for a thousand years hath lain unknown? |
| A26959 | And can we think that Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea and many more, were not timerous faint- hearted Christians? |
| A26959 | And consider whether you deny not Christ in Infancy to have been the Son of God according to his humane nature? |
| A26959 | And could it not be the Instrument of conveying right to them as soon as they were born? |
| A26959 | And did former Laws oblige to Circumcision till Christ? |
| A26959 | And did the man think that this is any thing to his purpose? |
| A26959 | And did they not Plead Tradition for their difference from Rome? |
| A26959 | And did they not thereby profess to take God for their God? |
| A26959 | And do we live upon these terms, that any Railer can call us off from our better services when ever He and Satan please? |
| A26959 | And do you call a man[ lost] that loseth the thoughts or the breath of man? |
| A26959 | And do you damn all Infants? |
| A26959 | And do you gather by Gildas that they were such as you dream? |
| A26959 | And do you think this the common sense of the word? |
| A26959 | And doth Mr. D. the great enemy of Antichrist perswade poor Anabaptists to believe such fellows and tales as these? |
| A26959 | And doth he think that Antichrist was before Tertullians time? |
| A26959 | And doth it follow( in despite of their own professions and practises) that all these and the rest such, were against Infant- Baptism? |
| A26959 | And doth not he that saith there is no law, say there is no transgression? |
| A26959 | And doth that prove that Mr. Wills knew it, who never saith, that he ever saw Cluniacensis book? |
| A26959 | And have we here any honester dealing than before? |
| A26959 | And how audacious to talk thus of what he knoweth not? |
| A26959 | And how proveth he this? |
| A26959 | And if Cyprian was Antichristian, where then was the Church of Christ? |
| A26959 | And if they say as he reporteth, they belied the Donatists; and why then should I believe them? |
| A26959 | And if they understand, they must have grief or pleasure: But who can know more than God revealeth? |
| A26959 | And indeed is this all at the upshot? |
| A26959 | And is it a contradiction to say that a doctrine that hath Plain Proof, may be assaulted by difficult ob ● ections? |
| A26959 | And is it no benefit in it self besides the consequents to be visibly united and related to Christ and his body? |
| A26959 | And is it not shame and pity that so publick matters of fact must be handled at this rate? |
| A26959 | And is not the cause in order of nature, though not of time before the effect? |
| A26959 | And is not this worthy of your zeal? |
| A26959 | And is there a syllable in this story that Infant- baptism is concerned in? |
| A26959 | And is there no intimation in this that Seth was an Infant member of the visible Church? |
| A26959 | And is this a good proof for Prideaux to tell you what a forged writing saith, which Crab and Binius and Bellarmine eject or take for false? |
| A26959 | And is this a witness against Infant- baptism? |
| A26959 | And is this loathing, and opposition and fighting against truth the way to know it? |
| A26959 | And it was Cresconius words to Austin[ Vna Religio, eadem Sacramenta, nihil in Christiana observatione diversum:& adhuc adversus invicem laboramus? |
| A26959 | And might not right have been falsly pleadded or usurped by a counterfeit Jew? |
| A26959 | And must he be believed against Wickliff? |
| A26959 | And must we know of Mr. Tombes what Dr. Hammond held? |
| A26959 | And now where is this mans clear proof that the Britains were Anabaptists? |
| A26959 | And so of the Infants if they were sold in Infancy? |
| A26959 | And so should every repenting believing Jews Infants be Church- members? |
| A26959 | And suffer his Church to be wrong framed till now? |
| A26959 | And tell me Sir, for what prize or gain do you think I am lost with all my friends? |
| A26959 | And that all the ancient writers and Churches sinned that so spake?] |
| A26959 | And that he maketh final impenitence the sin against the Holy Ghost; And that none can know what sin is mortal in us, and what not? |
| A26959 | And the English Nonconformists too? |
| A26959 | And then indeed Where was our Church and the Kingdom of Christ before Luther, or rather before those whom he opposed? |
| A26959 | And then what brought in your denial of spiritual membership to the non- elect? |
| A26959 | And then what was the physical act which is called Gods taking? |
| A26959 | And then, how can you say that any Infants shall be damned, or not saved? |
| A26959 | And though under the most extraordinary necessities of avoiding marriage, he find such confirmation of his Resolutions needful? |
| A26959 | And to the next qu ● stion, Whether Infants unbaptized when Baptism could not be had, be all damned? |
| A26959 | And unchurch almost all the Churches on Earth? |
| A26959 | And was it not a Moral Donation then, if it gave Right? |
| A26959 | And was not the Church before Christs incarnation a society of faithful men, when yet you confess that Infants were visible parts of is? |
| A26959 | And were not the Scots then of their mind, and as much against Traditions as they? |
| A26959 | And what a lamentable confusion are we now brought into by these? |
| A26959 | And what a poor put off to the point in hand? |
| A26959 | And what doth he but hence take advantage to tell the world how loose my doctrine was, and what sinful persons I thought had grace? |
| A26959 | And what hole was it that I came out of, with their Indulgence? |
| A26959 | And what if one give land to you and your heirs? |
| A26959 | And what is here of Infant- Baptism? |
| A26959 | And what meaneth the man in labouring to prove it? |
| A26959 | And what right or hope doth this give to Christians for their Children more than Pagans? |
| A26959 | And what say they? |
| A26959 | And what use was here for a plea from Tradition for Infant- baptism, which was not denied? |
| A26959 | And what will the Papists desire more? |
| A26959 | And what''s that to prove, that he was against Infant- Baptism? |
| A26959 | And what''s this to the question of Infant- Baptism? |
| A26959 | And what''s this 〈 ◊ 〉 our controversie? |
| A26959 | And whether God call not them that are visible members to that state? |
| A26959 | And whether I may not as groundedly make a fact sufficient for this purpose of the acts of an hundred or two hundred years only? |
| A26959 | And whether he like his other reason, Quid festinat innocens aetas ad remissionem peccatorum? |
| A26959 | And whether he that saith, There is no Law of God binding to do thus for his children, do not infer that they sin not by not doing it? |
| A26959 | And whether it be lawful for me to take all sorts then living for lyars, rather than this one man that hath written us such a book? |
| A26959 | And whether none but the Elect are visible members? |
| A26959 | And whether they received not the Scriptures and Religion as certainly from the Asiatick Churches, and so from the Apostles, as the Britains did? |
| A26959 | And whether they that dare use souls at this rate, are so much better than us, as to be above our communion? |
| A26959 | And whether this will prove that at that time they were against Infant- Baptism? |
| A26959 | And whether you may not as well make all the acts from Abrahams call till Christ to be one fact, and assign it to this office? |
| A26959 | And whom is this against, me or him? |
| A26959 | And why have we no satisfactory answer to these things so oft replyed? |
| A26959 | And why might not this Covenant[ I will save my Elect] be made with Cain, or Cham, or Judas, as well as with Abraham? |
| A26959 | And why not also from all the rest that have written against me? |
| A26959 | And why should my impartiality in acknowledging the Churches liberty as to the time of Baptism, at first, be so unkindly received? |
| A26959 | And why talketh he of this one reason against him in so publick a matter of History? |
| A26959 | And why then do they not insist only on the Argument and neglect the Author? |
| A26959 | And why? |
| A26959 | And will not the Reader be satisfied with these concessions? |
| A26959 | And will not the ungodly put in for the like hopes? |
| A26959 | And would not renouncing God have cut them off? |
| A26959 | And would their seed then have had any right for being theirs? |
| A26959 | And yet is Infant- Baptism a sin?) |
| A26959 | And yet just now, Church- membership in Israel was a thing that none could usurp, or have without right? |
| A26959 | And yet were all the Britains then of another mind? |
| A26959 | And yet were the old Britains against Infant- Baptism? |
| A26959 | Annon gravis demolitio ista? |
| A26959 | Annon opera vulpium haec?] |
| A26959 | Are all Protestants against Infant- baptism, that are against the Popish Sacrament of Confirmation? |
| A26959 | Are these likely means to propagate truth? |
| A26959 | Are they all excluded? |
| A26959 | Are they worse than their Parents? |
| A26959 | Are you really for Rebaptizing; and are you justifying it? |
| A26959 | As the Sichemites must do, so other nations must do: For what priviledge had the children of the Sichemites above the rest of the world? |
| A26959 | Before any such accusations on the Albigenses? |
| A26959 | But ask the man whether Asia it self long before the dayes of Gregory had not Infant- Baptism? |
| A26959 | But did they say that the Novatians were against Infant- Baptism? |
| A26959 | But do you write a book to prove the Tradition of Adult Baptism from Christs time to ours, and when you have done renounce and scorn it? |
| A26959 | But how came Dr. Prideaux so to mistake? |
| A26959 | But how far might this have extended? |
| A26959 | But if I have lost so much as you intimate, you would perswade me that my service is more than I take it to be? |
| A26959 | But if it had, I ask, was it no mercy to be a member both of the Jews Church and the universal? |
| A26959 | But if they had, would that prove that the Novatians were, seven hundred or eight hundred years before? |
| A26959 | But it is others that he tells it to ▪ Those others will read my own words or, they will not? |
| A26959 | But must they therefore be so used by all? |
| A26959 | But see the misery of a Sectarian spirit, that taketh it for a contradiction to be a friend to Calvin and Arminius both? |
| A26959 | But what all this is to the case of Infant- baptism, what man besides himself can tell? |
| A26959 | But what doth he mean by[ sheltering my self in a storm in their tents]? |
| A26959 | But what if that Council had so accused Bruis and Arnold, are they to be( believed of them? |
| A26959 | But what is all this to Infant- baptism? |
| A26959 | But what is it then? |
| A26959 | But what is that to Infant- baptism? |
| A26959 | But what man else could have gathered, that then this must be the only or chief end, and more in Gods eye than the saving of a sinner? |
| A26959 | But what need we ask Cassander what Guitmund said? |
| A26959 | But what shall we be agreed in that are ignorant and differ here? |
| A26959 | But who but the Owners of the child are capable of making such a promise? |
| A26959 | But who can answer words not cited? |
| A26959 | Can you prove any Roman Ordination of it before all these? |
| A26959 | Church, that used Reliques so strangely for working miracles? |
| A26959 | Could a Bishop of so great a City and Diocess have been against Infant- baptism and none to be able to prove it, even in envious accusations? |
| A26959 | Could he be in such a station as he was, and have so many writings, and so many adversaries, and yet hold such an opinion and never be suspected? |
| A26959 | Could you think now that you did not cheat your poor Reader, if partiality had not shut one of your eyes? |
| A26959 | Dare you maintain that all the world is sinless in this respect? |
| A26959 | Did Nicephorus write in Dutch? |
| A26959 | Did he tell the Reader where by one( in any words) I contradict the other? |
| A26959 | Did he think that it was flatly unlawful for maids and young widdows to be Baptized? |
| A26959 | Did not I know what I had written till he told me? |
| A26959 | Did nothing in Christ himself in Infancy agree with visible membership? |
| A26959 | Did the Nonconformists shelter me? |
| A26959 | Did the bringing out of Aegypt concur to make Moses a Church- member when he was in the basket on the waters? |
| A26959 | Did they not precisely observe Easter, and place Religion in keeping it on their own dayes? |
| A26959 | Did they not use the Asiatick Ceremonies? |
| A26959 | Do the Anabaptists no better own their cause? |
| A26959 | Do they know what[ a transeunt fact is, that without Law or Covenant makes Church- members?] |
| A26959 | Do they say that those fifteen are all? |
| A26959 | Do you and your Companions know that you are renouncing your Baptism, and Christianity, and the Cross of Christ, while you would rebaptize us all? |
| A26959 | Do you believe that our union with the visible Church as such, and participation in its priviledges, is none of that Grace? |
| A26959 | Do you know the History of the Council of Calcedon and Dioscorus, and the Nestorians? |
| A26959 | Do you know what most Protestants think that hear them? |
| A26959 | Do you think it is to get other friends that I more value? |
| A26959 | Doth God say, that the seed of the righteous are not blessed till they come to age? |
| A26959 | Doth Mr. D. himself know it, of a book never read? |
| A26959 | Doth a dumb man signifie his consent to the Covenant by any signs or not? |
| A26959 | Doth it not rather imply that there was no controversie between him and the Britains about Infant- Baptism, seeing he never mentioned any such thing? |
| A26959 | Doth not the promise give them an established right in this blessing? |
| A26959 | Doth that prove that others were not baptized in Infancy? |
| A26959 | Doth the word[ taking] signifie a meer physical taking or fact; or a moral, such as among men we call, a civil action? |
| A26959 | Elsewhere indeed Socrates and many more say so: But doth that prove they were against Infant- baptism? |
| A26959 | Even teach men so to do, and say It is no Sacriledge? |
| A26959 | For doubtless Marriage is a sin accidentally to some, though not in its own nature, and far from being a duty to all? |
| A26959 | From what, and how? |
| A26959 | HAve you well considered of the fruit of your ways apparent in England and Ireland at this day? |
| A26959 | HOw prove you that it was a blemish to the old frame, that Infants were members? |
| A26959 | Had it not been for the Separatists and you? |
| A26959 | Had not the Conformists tents been likelier? |
| A26959 | Had the Apostles so little charity as not to endeavour to rectifie any of their errors? |
| A26959 | Had they not Bishops, and were they not Monks? |
| A26959 | Had you or I more hand in these matters? |
| A26959 | Hath not many a Minister among us been so accused? |
| A26959 | Have our worst Parish Churches many greater scandals? |
| A26959 | Have these things toucht your heart? |
| A26959 | He addeth[ Sometimes a violent impugner of Popery, and yet at last who hath spoken more in favour of it?] |
| A26959 | He did not publish this his opinion, but held it unpublished: And how then did Guitmund know it? |
| A26959 | He feigneth this to be said of the Waldenses, which is expresly said in the history to be spoken of the Manichees? |
| A26959 | He knoweth that Cluniacensis — hath given no such wicked and false testimony,& c. And how proveth he that? |
| A26959 | He that would not consent to the Covenant was by Asa to be put to death: And was not Circumcision a covenanting act? |
| A26959 | His Catalogue containeth three Columns: The first of the Baptism of the Adult: And what Christian ever denied this? |
| A26959 | How great a number would your untruths appear, were they all gathered and enumerated to you? |
| A26959 | How inconsiderable a part of the universal Church they hold communion with? |
| A26959 | How know you another mans knowledge? |
| A26959 | How know you that they so vehemently rejected humane Traditions in the worship of God? |
| A26959 | How proveth he that that was meant by the Roman manner or fashion of Baptizing? |
| A26959 | How shall I know that they will any more read the last than the first? |
| A26959 | How weak a minded mother art thou, and of how little faith? |
| A26959 | I say, do they know this? |
| A26959 | I take a visible Church- member to be a visible member of Christ as Head of the Church and of his Church as visible? |
| A26959 | I will not turn to see whether it be so ▪ but what''s this to the purpose? |
| A26959 | I would desire him if he can, to tell me, whether both Cain and Abel were not visible Church- members in Adams family? |
| A26959 | IF unbelief brake them off, will not repentance graff them in? |
| A26959 | IN what regard is the new frame bettered by casting out Infants which were in the old? |
| A26959 | IT is a thing that all are not duely informed of, How far Controversial Writings and Disputes are to be practised by pious and peaceable men? |
| A26959 | If God had made no other Law, Promise or Covenant, with the adult, but[ I will save whom I will save] who would have taken this for a Law or Covenant? |
| A26959 | If besides those that Gods Laws condemn or justifie, God will save many in a neutral state, why may he not, saith the ungodly, save me also? |
| A26959 | If bitter Papists so accuse him, is it therefore true? |
| A26959 | If by writing, is not the act transeunt? |
| A26959 | If he be to be believed in this, why not in the first article, of the lawfulness of abusing all women commonly? |
| A26959 | If he did, then how much more flagitious is his practice, thus to tell the world an untruth so notorious to himself? |
| A26959 | If he did, was he against it then? |
| A26959 | If he hold not the contrary doctrines, why doth he exclaim against mine, as heynous? |
| A26959 | If he rejoyce in these Witnesses, is here a word of Infant- baptism? |
| A26959 | If he understand not Latine, how unfit is he to give us the History of these antiquities? |
| A26959 | If it be by voice, is not that transeunt? |
| A26959 | If it be this same, then how comes a meer transeunt fact to work effectually so many hundred years after it is past? |
| A26959 | If it were asked what benefit had the Circumcision? |
| A26959 | If not, how is he one of these covenanting and separated people? |
| A26959 | If not, the Jews lost nothing by being broken off? |
| A26959 | If not, what a man is this that dare talk thus confidently and falsly of what he knew not? |
| A26959 | If not, what did the man think that a recitation should do with me? |
| A26959 | If not, what meaneth[ barely] but the nakedness of your ill cause? |
| A26959 | If not, why cheat you your simple followers by this talk? |
| A26959 | If not, why cite you instances of Rebaptizers? |
| A26959 | If not, why will it prove the same of the Britains? |
| A26959 | If the case were, whether the Lords Supper might be Administred with Beer, or Milk, where there is no Wine? |
| A26959 | If therefore God have made general promises as to age and person, who is he that dare limit it, without just proof that indeed God hath limited it? |
| A26959 | If this prove that the Waldenses were against Infant- Baptism, it will prove that Papists, Protestants and all are so? |
| A26959 | If we be but such Antichristians say they, as holy Cyprian and the primitive Churches were, we will prefer it before the Anabaptists Christianity? |
| A26959 | If yea, how did the Christians Children forfeit it? |
| A26959 | If you do, we are agreed, and why contend you? |
| A26959 | If you except Liberty, Health, Life, you are hypocrites: And can you except Children? |
| A26959 | In all things or some? |
| A26959 | In what? |
| A26959 | Infants have none of these in act, and yet who doubteth but Infants are members of the Kingdom( of every Kingdom under Heaven that I have read of?) |
| A26959 | Is Dallaeus that hath written so large a disputation of Confirmation, an Anabaptist? |
| A26959 | Is all this then no promise, but a transeunt fact? |
| A26959 | Is dipping any thing to the case of Infants? |
| A26959 | Is here a word that he was against Infant- baptism? |
| A26959 | Is it a physical action though a moral causation of some physical effect? |
| A26959 | Is it at all by the Covenant as Evangelical? |
| A26959 | Is it like that God will bless such unmanly scandals, to the Churches good? |
| A26959 | Is it mens praise or good thoughts of me? |
| A26959 | Is it not so as to the Jews policie and peculiarity? |
| A26959 | Is it not so? |
| A26959 | Is it the Papists? |
| A26959 | Is not Church- membership contained in, Gods being their God, and taking them for his people thus in Covenant? |
| A26959 | Is not the Action ut agentis naturally antecedent to it as in patiente? |
| A26959 | Is not this an excellent Prover? |
| A26959 | Is that a point that they differed from all the Apostolick Church in? |
| A26959 | Is the poor Church to be thus abused, and holy things thus played with? |
| A26959 | Is the subject of Baptism, the Manner? |
| A26959 | Is this a good witness that the Waldenses were against Infant- Baptism? |
| A26959 | Is this a safe ground to build so great a weight on? |
| A26959 | Is this establishing Covenant on Promise but a transeunt fact? |
| A26959 | Jews Infants should be members and not Genties? |
| A26959 | Just as Wickliff ▪ Judge now of this mans words? |
| A26959 | Keturahs children were Church- members in infancy: I enquire of you by what act they were made such? |
| A26959 | Let him shew you if he can, where or when I have changed my judgement about Conformity, or exprest a change since 1640? |
| A26959 | Let him tell you where and when I ever defended that Episcopacy which I had opposed? |
| A26959 | Long before what? |
| A26959 | Lot came out of Ur with Abraham, yea, and from Haran, and lived with him: were not Lot and his Infants Church- members then? |
| A26959 | Mark Reader, what an issue our Controversies with these men come to? |
| A26959 | Me thinks these Professions should put off the chief matter of offence and exception against each other, as to the ill consequents of our opinions? |
| A26959 | Mr. T. can not see how this promise can be repealed: what, not an universal promising Law, or Covenant or Instrument? |
| A26959 | Much more that this calumny should be thus over and over audaciously justified? |
| A26959 | Must such dealing as this go for an answer? |
| A26959 | Must the Christendom of Kingdoms be impetuously questioned by men that know not such rudiments as these? |
| A26959 | Must we read all his works again to see if there be such a word, as oft as such a man will talk to us at this rate? |
| A26959 | Neither do we say that Infants are learners in actu exercito; and so what is this to the matter? |
| A26959 | No such thing in the Asiaticks Churches? |
| A26959 | No wonder if all Christians Infants must be shut out, if Innocent Adams must have been shut out? |
| A26959 | No wonder therefore if Augustin so long after say that no Christian taketh it to be in vain? |
| A26959 | No, but by the Priests and Worshippers? |
| A26959 | None of them in Infancy? |
| A26959 | None of this ever came into my thoughts which he untruly saith I drive at,& c. What sober man could imagine either of these assertions? |
| A26959 | Now do you think that the reason of Physical Qualities and Moral Rights, Relations and duties is the same? |
| A26959 | O cease from man whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of? |
| A26959 | O wh ● t pleasure is this to Papists? |
| A26959 | O what a Church might we have had, and were likely to have had? |
| A26959 | O what work have you made your self? |
| A26959 | Or have you not seen enough to make you suspect and fear whether indeed God own your way or not? |
| A26959 | Or how could it be any part of the cause? |
| A26959 | Or is he not concerned in the donation at all? |
| A26959 | Or shall he have that gift absolutely which is conditional to all others? |
| A26959 | Or that Christs Church then and now are of two frames in regard of the subjects age? |
| A26959 | Or that it shall be one of a million at least that shall not? |
| A26959 | Or the children of Apostates? |
| A26959 | Or the children of such? |
| A26959 | Or the profession of a saving faith? |
| A26959 | Or was Hinomarus against adult Communion because envy said he let some die without it? |
| A26959 | Or whether Baptism might be Administred by Milk or Wine, where there is no water? |
| A26959 | Or why should God promise it as a new thing? |
| A26959 | Prove what you say by any words of mine? |
| A26959 | Quid fidelius? |
| A26959 | Quis hoc dixerit? |
| A26959 | Reader, How big a volume wouldst thou have me write in answering such stuff as this? |
| A26959 | Reader, are not the Anabaptists ductile men where they like, as well as intractable where they dislike, that they will follow such a Leader as this? |
| A26959 | Reader, dost thou not marvail to find him so plead for me against himself, or speak nothing to the case? |
| A26959 | Reader, is here a syllable against Infant- baptism? |
| A26959 | Reader, is not all here unsaid again by this concession? |
| A26959 | Reader, will not this kind o ● arguing make thee an Anabaptist? |
| A26959 | Saith Austin, Quare ergo rebaptizas Christianum? |
| A26959 | See Reader, how he valueth his own work? |
| A26959 | See here what a witness he hath brought? |
| A26959 | See how he feareth not to make reports of the dead by this hearsay? |
| A26959 | See how this accuser proveth Lyes? |
| A26959 | Shall I answer them that never speak or write to me? |
| A26959 | Shall I take this mans accusation for a confutation or conviction? |
| A26959 | Shall he be certainly shut out unto damnation? |
| A26959 | Shall we not have one true word? |
| A26959 | Should one ask him whom he heard this from, do you think we should get a satisfying answer? |
| A26959 | Si haberi foris potest, etiam dari cur non potest? |
| A26959 | So that our enquiry must be, whether the Congregation and the Commonwealth be the same thing in your sense?] |
| A26959 | So they use to say, that Death and the Grave are sanctified by Christ: How? |
| A26959 | Speak once like a man: And was not that till the fourth Century? |
| A26959 | Stay Reader a little, and tell me whether it call not for shame and tears that one such Book should be written by a Christian? |
| A26959 | Still such untruths? |
| A26959 | Such as I believe the Sun never saw, nor the wisest Lawyer in England ever read before? |
| A26959 | THE next Question that I spould speak to is, whether these Laws, or Covenants, or Promises, are capable of a revocation, or repeal? |
| A26959 | That Infants unbaptized are damned; which in charity he thinks is to be denyed: And what''s this against their Baptism? |
| A26959 | That Tertullians words prove that Infant- Baptism was then in use: And it is the matter of fact that we are searching after? |
| A26959 | That all Infants are made Church- members by it, did any of us ever affirm? |
| A26959 | That believers must be baptized in pure water,( And what are these to the purpose?) |
| A26959 | That died a Martyr for Christ; 4. Who is so great a part of the pure antiquity; that if you cast him away, what will the rest be for a great time? |
| A26959 | That either Christ did not joyn with the Jews in worship which had Musick( in the Temple) or else he sinned in so doing? |
| A26959 | That is, None would make schisms if they were not blinded by the hatred of their brethren: Is there not the hatred of brethren in Schism? |
| A26959 | That it is no wrong to Ignorant Christians to put such whimsies and scruples into their heads? |
| A26959 | That it was not whether Infants should be Baptized that was the question, but whether it should be done before the eighth day? |
| A26959 | That most of them speak to the Question[ What is the kind of Covenant consent required in baptism? |
| A26959 | The Pope bids Baptize Infants: Ergo not only the Manichees but the Waldenses denyed it? |
| A26959 | The adult blemish the Church with more carnal sins than Infants do? |
| A26959 | The adult come in by the same kind of consent for themselves, as they make for their Infants? |
| A26959 | The adult have souls and bodies, and so have Infants? |
| A26959 | The eighth question,[ Which are the Texts of Scripture that contain or express the said laws, precepts, or grants which I maintain?] |
| A26959 | The fifth question,[ Whether there be such precepts and promises as you grant,( or as I shall prove) which yet make not Infants Church- members?] |
| A26959 | The first question in order fit to be resolved is,[ whether Infants before Christs incarnation were Church- members, or not?] |
| A26959 | The ninth question,[ Whether such laws, preceps or grants as I shall prove, are capable of a repal or revocation?] |
| A26959 | The second question and the first resolved, is[ what Church it is that Infants were members of?] |
| A26959 | The seventh question,[ Whether those which you have assigned be such facts?] |
| A26959 | The tenth question,[ Whether they are actually revoked or repealed?] |
| A26959 | The third question is, what it is that gives the Israelites that denomination of[ the Congregation of Israel] of which Infants were members? |
| A26959 | This is not the Controversie: Is your judgement alike right of persons as of Doctrines? |
| A26959 | To the Minor, If his bare affirmation would prove that Infants were not to be baptized, what need he write his books? |
| A26959 | Utterly false: And how doth he prove it? |
| A26959 | WAs not Christs Church before his incarnation spiritual, and gathered in a spiritual way? |
| A26959 | WHether any Jew at age was a member of the old Church without professing faith( in the Articles necessary to salvation) repentance and obedience? |
| A26959 | Was ever such a reporter as this man before taken for a credible person? |
| A26959 | Was it better to be of no visible Church, than of the universal? |
| A26959 | Was that an honest man that would secretly hold an opinion which he knew he had no Scripture for? |
| A26959 | Was there ever a Law or Covenant made in the world any other way than by a transeunt fact? |
| A26959 | Was there never but One Parliament and One Cause? |
| A26959 | Was there no such thing? |
| A26959 | Was this an Anabaptist? |
| A26959 | Was this great Pope an Anabaptist? |
| A26959 | Were not this a contemptible arguing? |
| A26959 | Were not this as good an argument? |
| A26959 | Were these Persecutors think you blind or merciful herein? |
| A26959 | What a Knave do they make him that so say? |
| A26959 | What a bare put off is that, of a man that must say something? |
| A26959 | What a deal of the Gospel and the Churches mercys do these men deny? |
| A26959 | What a prover is this man? |
| A26959 | What a wide gap doth that[ at least] make you, yet to say, They were a Church or no Church, as you please? |
| A26959 | What aptitude hath the leading to Padan Aram, or removal to Aegypt, to make Infants Church- members? |
| A26959 | What aptitude hath the setling of an Army to be any part of the causation of Infants Church- membership? |
| A26959 | What childish play is this? |
| A26959 | What durst I not subscribe to, if I durst do all this? |
| A26959 | What have I got by them but silencing and the loss of all Ministerial maintenance, these twelve years? |
| A26959 | What have I lost Sir? |
| A26959 | What is it that a sanctified man must not devote to God that is His? |
| A26959 | What is that to Church — membership? |
| A26959 | What is the matter that men that can do all this, can not Conform? |
| A26959 | What man will say so? |
| A26959 | What not so notorious a Law, and Covenant, and Benediction? |
| A26959 | What pains is taken in the Epistle to the Hebrews to prove the change of the Covenant as faulty in comparison of that which had better promises? |
| A26959 | What pittiful abuse of ignorant Readers is this? |
| A26959 | What should I say to him and them? |
| A26959 | What will not partiality say? |
| A26959 | What wonder then if disputes be endless? |
| A26959 | What''s the difference? |
| A26959 | What, doth Infants Relation detract from its spirituality? |
| A26959 | When a storm fell on the Nonconformists, were their tents a likely place for shelter? |
| A26959 | When in all the lines which I have examined I have met with so few that are not guilty of them? |
| A26959 | When shall I come to a sentence that is true? |
| A26959 | When you should prove to us the revocation of Infants Church- membership, to tell us that they had it only by a transeunt fact? |
| A26959 | Whether a man may not oblige himself to a duty meerly by his consent? |
| A26959 | Whether a meer dogmatical faith professed? |
| A26959 | Whether it is sinfully used in Scripture?) |
| A26959 | Whether then were not the children of the Disciples and all believing Jews Church- members in Infancy? |
| A26959 | Whether there were any Ordinances or Law of God that Infants should be Church- members? |
| A26959 | Who be they? |
| A26959 | Who c ● uld hence have found out that God hath various degrees of intention? |
| A26959 | Who then is this Man a Factor for? |
| A26959 | Who was the accuser here? |
| A26959 | Who would not receive them, though we approve not of their way? |
| A26959 | Why did you cite neither words, page nor Book? |
| A26959 | Why must we be told what Dr. Prideaux saith of the acts of an old Council, as easily known by us as by him? |
| A26959 | Why some of the wisest of them that I know did read them over, and approved them before they were printed? |
| A26959 | Why then dost thou rebaptize a Christian( that differeth not from them?) |
| A26959 | Will he make the Church of his mind by such palpable falshoods as these? |
| A26959 | Will you not confess your self that Cyprian and that Carthage Council, Nazianzene, Basil, Augustine& c. were for Infant- Baptism? |
| A26959 | With what scorn will they deride such men? |
| A26959 | Would not every week detect it? |
| A26959 | Would you be believed in other things that can deliberately, in two Editions, do thus? |
| A26959 | Would you have made your Reader believe that it was any thing to the question? |
| A26959 | Would you tempt me to look to the hypocrites reward? |
| A26959 | Yea even Independents and Presbyterians and all that prize and cleave to them now in England? |
| A26959 | Yea whether he hath not all along confirmed it? |
| A26959 | Yea, to justifie all Jews against this charge, that should neglect or refuse to engage their children to God in Covenant as members of his Church? |
| A26959 | You see what he hath brought the ancient and later Church- membership, Circumcision and Baptism to? |
| A26959 | [ Baptizing after the manner of Rome] And what''s that to his question? |
| A26959 | [ Cum autem dicatur, Qui vero non crediderit condemnabitur, quid hic dicimus de parvulis, qui per aetatem adhuc credere non valent? |
| A26959 | [ That Christs Ministers rightly ordained and dedicated to God in that sacred office, are not so much as Relatively holy as separated to God therein? |
| A26959 | [ That Church Musick( and consequently singing which is the prime Musick) is no help to any man in the service of God? |
| A26959 | [ That anointing, using the white Garment, Milk and Honey, were Blasphemous rites, and Popish before Popery was existent? |
| A26959 | [ That it is in no Case lawful to keep a Vow of Chastity, at least among the Papists? |
| A26959 | [ That no Reverence is due to Ministers and Church utensils?] |
| A26959 | [ That though he find it a help, it is sin for any man to use it? |
| A26959 | [ To be uncovered in the Church; and use reverent carriage and gestures there, doth not at all tend to preserve due reverence to God and his worship? |
| A26959 | [ 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 —[ Hast thou an Infant? |

| A26959 | and many another Text, mean no such thing as they speak, as if to be the seed of the faithful were no condition, but only[ I will save my elect?] |
| A26959 | and more against vice and formality in and after Colmans and Columbanus dayes? |
| A26959 | and so that almost all Christians in the world are no Christians? |
| A26959 | and what a sort of new political Doctrine shall we have from you, when these things are accomplished according to the frame you have begun? |
| A26959 | and what constituteth it formally? |
| A26959 | and what you imagine that precept or promise to be which I assert? |
| A26959 | and whether only with the punishment of loss, or also of sense?] |
| A26959 | and whether the moral action of that law were permanent or transeunt? |
| A26959 | as if he knew not what abundance more may easily be produced, if it were of any need? |
| A26959 | as if were but one Tomb or Volume, that long ago was eleven great Volumes, and now many more? |
| A26959 | as to the matter believed and the sincerity of the belief and consent?] |
| A26959 | except the Anabaptists, who reject the benefit; whose case( as I said before) I will not presume to determine? |
| A26959 | hath no more? |
| A26959 | is one question: Whether this be repealed? |
| A26959 | no not when God himself is the separater and man the unjust alienater? |
| A26959 | or a fit reason of your application of it to the thing in hand? |
| A26959 | or doth not this confirm their right to the benefit promised, which was received before by the same means? |
| A26959 | or else make thee pitty the seduced party? |
| A26959 | or from the creation till this day? |
| A26959 | or if not, what sense it hath? |
| A26959 | or if otherwise, that All Christs Church was Popish then? |
| A26959 | or only less safe, and eligible, except in danger of death? |
| A26959 | or would God else have taken them for his people? |

| A26959 | party? |
| A26959 | sure this was not so long after, a Manner peculiar to Rome? |
| A26959 | that is, as soon as they were subjects capable? |
| A26959 | that is, in the point of Rebaptizing persons before baptized( do you own that indeed?) |
| A26959 | the approbation of man? |
| A26959 | to be relatively a member of the Houshold of God? |
| A26959 | unless it made a Law or Covenant which doth the deed? |
| A26959 | were all these Papists, or Romans? |
| A26959 | what proving is this? |
| A26959 | what unlikely things( yea against evidence) can some believe? |
| A26959 | when about the Manner indeed there were then so many and different ceremonies? |
| A26959 | whereto will not men run left to themselves?] |
| A26959 | whether all equally or unequally? |
| A26959 | which no man that ever breathed till now, nor ever man will know again? |
| A26959 | who did not send men of their own company? |
| A26959 | who yet were born of Abrahams seed, and in that Land? |
| A27058 | & c. And also that they so hardly speak of the Jesuites, Yea and Papists commonly? |
| A27058 | ( or Myriads?) |
| A27058 | ( that is, of the whole City?) |
| A27058 | 17,& c. And is not mincing and extenuating great sin, an implicit hardening men against Repentance? |
| A27058 | 4. Who knows not that the Church is now divided into about Twelve Sects, all condemning one another? |
| A27058 | 7. it came to Maturity? |
| A27058 | 7. was Proud and ambitious when he threatened the Prince of Calaris with the loss of his dominions, unless he made his Bishop shave his beard? |
| A27058 | Abbot or Grindall Antimonarchical or Antiepifcopal? |
| A27058 | Allen, Lord Mayor, to draw him in? |
| A27058 | Among the multitude of Protestant Church Historians and Chronologers, how few are there that do not do the same, though in various degrees? |
| A27058 | And Paul when he said, I have no man like minded; for they all seek their own things, and not the things that are Jesus Christ''s? |
| A27058 | And a greater fault to feel, and say we feel, than to strike or wound men? |
| A27058 | And almost condemn your vindicating Book? |
| A27058 | And as I before noted, Is not even in London where other differences might exasperate, yet this Controversie almost laid to sleep? |
| A27058 | And as it is more tumid than the Patriarchs, is not the Patriarchs more tumid than the Metropolitanes, and that than the Diocesanes? |
| A27058 | And by whom? |
| A27058 | And can you in your Conscience own what the Bishops did towards it? |
| A27058 | And did I ever say worse of the Bishops than this? |
| A27058 | And did I ever so discredit the whole stream of Church- Historians, as on the word of one Jesuite, to bring them under the suspicion of such a Lie? |
| A27058 | And did he prevail against the Primitive Purity and Simplicity without them? |
| A27058 | And did not most of the same men meet in the next Parliament after, and look yet more suspiciously on the Clergy? |
| A27058 | And did the Papacy Spring up in a year? |
| A27058 | And do you think that the Bishops Erring did not more to seduce the Flocks, than the Emperour''s? |
| A27058 | And do you think that the other Seven Thousand or Eight Thousand that conformed did confederate beforehand to conform? |
| A27058 | And do you think there are none such in the world? |
| A27058 | And doth it follow that they were not Episcopal but Presbyterian? |
| A27058 | And doth this signifie that I charge the Bishops with bloody purposes? |
| A27058 | And for how small a prize? |
| A27058 | And for many hundred to Err, than for One Man? |
| A27058 | And for what? |
| A27058 | And from that time forward, will you not be as great a Railer as I, and scandalize Christianity more than Lucian or Julian? |
| A27058 | And harden me in my Errour? |
| A27058 | And hath this Historian any proof of this? |
| A27058 | And how came they to know each others minds? |
| A27058 | And how can you tell who all be that hear you in an uncertain crowd? |
| A27058 | And how could I have known if he had not told me that this word is railing? |
| A27058 | And how great is the Number of the Poor? |
| A27058 | And how ordinarily do they expound[ Let him be Anathema] that is[ Cut off from Christ?] |
| A27058 | And how shall they have it but by Objects and Communication? |
| A27058 | And how should I make it generally known more than by oft Printing it? |
| A27058 | And how should young men know who these are? |
| A27058 | And how smartly Isidore Pelusiota reflects on him? |
| A27058 | And if Seven Thousand could agree without confederating, why not Two Thousand? |
| A27058 | And if de facto, God do sanctifie only a peculiar People, who can deny his differencing Will and Grace? |
| A27058 | And if he had written History, would this report advance the credit of it? |
| A27058 | And if the Eastern followed the Emperours, had not the Western been in danger if they had the like temptation? |
| A27058 | And if these words be uncharitable Railing, what means have we lest to give them that demand it, the Reasons of our Nonconformity? |
| A27058 | And if yea, than how shall it be known without proper names? |
| A27058 | And is it enough to accuse? |
| A27058 | And is it malice in me to transcribe their History? |
| A27058 | And is it not as true if Bishops be the Dividers? |
| A27058 | And is it not more culpable for Bishops to Err in the Mysteries of Divinity, than a Lay- man? |
| A27058 | And is it the whole Catholick Church then, or a Schismatical Church? |
| A27058 | And is that true? |
| A27058 | And is the name[ self- conceited] in describing the cause of this a railing? |
| A27058 | And is this against Moderation? |
| A27058 | And is this railing? |
| A27058 | And is this the way to make me lament my want of his Academical Education? |
| A27058 | And may not an Orthodox man confess the Piety of others? |
| A27058 | And must I not, when importuned by Bishops, Priests and Rulers, say what I fear, le ● t others should think it intimateth their guiltiness? |
| A27058 | And must all be ruined that would not be so convinced? |
| A27058 | And must it not be known? |
| A27058 | And must we needs Rail indeed against such numbers of hurtful Prelatists? |
| A27058 | And must we renounce Communion with all the Christian world? |
| A27058 | And so seems to vindicate the Bishops and Councils but for the space of 150 years of the time that I mentioned their degeneration? |
| A27058 | And so which way can a Succession of the worst men be avoided? |
| A27058 | And the Bishops of the West strive to rise with, and by the Pope? |
| A27058 | And the burning of our Smithfield Martyrs: And it''s like most of the Wars between the Old Popes and Emperours about Investitures? |
| A27058 | And the next yet more? |
| A27058 | And those that conquered for them drove them out, when they considered what they had done: But had it not been better known at a cheaper rate? |
| A27058 | And to be but the consequent of former Subornations and Perjury; can you name greater wickedness? |
| A27058 | And to write a Confutation of a multitude of Volumns of false Accusations brought to justifie the Executions? |
| A27058 | And was it well done, or ill? |
| A27058 | And was not this Eutychian Speech as improper as Nestoriu''s is? |
| A27058 | And was this a Crime worthy the forbidding men to preach the Gospel? |
| A27058 | And what a shake is given to the Credit of all these by Mr. M. and others of greater name? |
| A27058 | And what do I say worse of them than he? |
| A27058 | And what is it that some men do not confidently ascribe to the most holy God? |
| A27058 | And what is the Discipline that you exercise on Hereticks? |
| A27058 | And what moved the man to dream that when I so describe and praise their constancy in Suffering, I did it as at unawares? |
| A27058 | And what say I more of the Bishops and the whole cause, than Sulpitius Severus the fullest and most knowing Describer saith? |
| A27058 | And what was their Will? |
| A27058 | And what''s this to us any more than to you? |
| A27058 | And what, and where are those Laws which we must all be governed by, which neither God nor Councils made? |
| A27058 | And when I have said[ by Man] how bad, how sad a creature have I named? |
| A27058 | And when he confesseth what I say, is he not a Railer at the Bishops as much as I in that? |
| A27058 | And who can deny now but the Diocesane Species is essential to the Church? |
| A27058 | And who is it now that most raileth at Bishops? |
| A27058 | And who made him acquainted with Thoughts that were never uttered? |
| A27058 | And who persuaded the Lay- Men to it? |
| A27058 | And why do you say so, if I call you Silencers, if that be as good? |
| A27058 | And why doth not your Discipline meddle with constant Non- Communicants? |
| A27058 | And why should not I regard the words of such an Emperour, as well as of one half the Bishops against the other? |
| A27058 | And why, saith he, may not that skilful man shew his skill in Councils, as well as else where? |
| A27058 | And why? |
| A27058 | And will it not burn if combustible fewel be contiguous? |
| A27058 | And will the faults of that Assembly justifie the far greater faults of others? |
| A27058 | And would not any impartial Historian do the like? |
| A27058 | And yet could they not help it? |
| A27058 | And yet is a Jesuite a Papist? |
| A27058 | And yet these 19. or 20. years how few of them have been convict of any false doctrine? |
| A27058 | And[ Take off the penalty of subscribing, declaring, crossing,& c. what good doth subscribing a Sentence which he believeth not?] |
| A27058 | Are any of them Excommunicated? |
| A27058 | Are not Baronius and Binnius friends to the highest Prelacy? |
| A27058 | Are not a Parliament and an Army things publick enough to be known in the same Age? |
| A27058 | Are there no other Christians? |
| A27058 | Are there none such? |
| A27058 | Are you for it? |
| A27058 | As to his Question, Whether the Presbyterians brought in the King? |
| A27058 | Asking,[ Were not almost all the Westminster Assembly Episcopal Conformable men when they came thither?] |
| A27058 | At last mentioning the common Dissentions of the Churches, he seems to resolve the Question, What then must be done? |
| A27058 | But I have oft cited Jewel defending the French Protestants; Was not he a Bishop? |
| A27058 | But d d I ever rail more at Bishops than he here doth? |
| A27058 | But did never any person oppose it? |
| A27058 | But did the man think that Unconstancy and compliance with powerful Heresie, is the same thing with Repentance for it? |
| A27058 | But do you not know the Dedication from the Title, only because it is printed on the Title Page? |
| A27058 | But for this you find fault with him[ He did resent the Injury( And was it an Injury?) |
| A27058 | But he hath a far greater charge against me, that I did not apprehend the mind of the Council at Tours; why so? |
| A27058 | But how do you think all these that were scattered all over England, and knew not one another by name or Dwelling, should so confederate? |
| A27058 | But how great is the Number of Jews and Ethnicks? |
| A27058 | But how many Bishops were against the passing of that Bill? |
| A27058 | But if they had been Nonconformists, what names had been bad enough for them? |
| A27058 | But is it falshood to omit what is said in such and so many Volumns? |
| A27058 | But is it not therefore to be blamed? |
| A27058 | But is it not this 4th Century that is made the Churches more flourishing state by others? |

| A27058 | But why name I one man? |
| A27058 | But why should they be forbidden to preach( which was good and they were devoted to?) |
| A27058 | But why will you dishonour Reverend Prelates so much as to father them on such? |
| A27058 | But will fire burn without fewel? |
| A27058 | But would you persuade the Reader that I call it a Faction, to believe your sence of these Councils? |
| A27058 | But, saith he,[ Were they Episcopals that Petitioned the King at York for Reformation in Discipline and Worship then? |
| A27058 | By what Obligation? |
| A27058 | By what authority will he so do? |
| A27058 | By what name should I have called Silencing but its own and so of the rest? |
| A27058 | Can I help that? |
| A27058 | Can you believe that the generality turn from good to bad just in one Age? |
| A27058 | Can you find nothing in your Impositions that in the nature of the thing is worthy to be altered? |

| A27058 | Did he think that I excluded the Army if I blame the General, or the Prelatical Priests when I blame the Prelates? |

| A27058 | Do I here speak of any but my self and the Nonconformists? |
| A27058 | Do I need to answer this to any man of 50 years of age? |
| A27058 | Do I not as oft as he profess my great dislike of every sect, as a sect? |
| A27058 | Do I not disclaim this Novatian sect and their opinion, and own the Contrary? |
| A27058 | Do I not protest against accusing others, and only say, what it would be to me, should I conform? |
| A27058 | Do I say All fell, when I say Most fell? |
| A27058 | Do I say that none but the Bishops persuaded him? |
| A27058 | Do I say that peccavimus was their sin? |
| A27058 | Do men call out for the execution of the Law, and plead for our Silencing as a good work, and take it for railing to have it named? |
| A27058 | Do not Councils, and all Church- History tell us how many Councils of Hereticks there have been that were Bishops? |

| A27058 | Do you think that so great a Patriarchate& Diocess would not find a conscionable Pastor work enough, without joyning with it the Magistrates Office? |
| A27058 | Doth a general Accusation signifie more ill of the accuser, or of the accused, if it be not proved by particular Instances? |

| A27058 | Fie Dr. will you thus abuse so many Orthodox Bishops? |

| A27058 | He asketh, Is this the way to be at Peace with us? |
| A27058 | He next comes to Sedition, and asketh[ What Reign have they disturbed here with their Sedition?] |

| A27058 | He that forsaketh not all that he hath can not be my Disciple? |
| A27058 | He would not tell you; but it''s discernible what''s left: It must be no Concord but what Punishment can procure: And what punishment? |
| A27058 | Here( wi ● hout railing) he bedawbs Novatus and Novatian to the purpose with horrid Crimes, a Pharisaical Saint, Perjured, and what not? |
| A27058 | How came he waking to dream that this was a contradiction, when Historians tell us that the Women and Courtiers hated both Chrysostome and Nestorius? |

| A27058 | I doubt not but the Man can write another Book to justifie this; for what is it that some can not talk for? |
| A27058 | I know no Protestant that denyeth this? |
| A27058 | I never heard the question put[ What will satisfie you?] |
| A27058 | I spake to before: If such Historians believed not what they write or loved a malicious Lye; alas, whom shall we believe? |
| A27058 | I''le appeal to Learned Bishop Barlow whether Mr. Tombs hath not made the Case of Anabaptistry more difficult? |
| A27058 | If Conscience stood a man in no stead for greater Ends than worldly wealth and ease and honour, who would not be a Latitudinarian Conformist? |
| A27058 | If I ask the Butcher[ Is your Meat sweet?] |
| A27058 | If I may compare great things with small, who sinned more? |
| A27058 | If Nature put for Person be pardonable, why is it not pardonable to prefer a denomination a proprietate vel forma, to another? |
| A27058 | If a man will not do all that you would have him to do, shall he do nothing? |
| A27058 | If all these be not written in Malice, how know you that mine were? |
| A27058 | If another Bishop said the first words before him, do I wrong him in saying he said the second? |

| A27058 | If it be ill done, why condemn you your self by defending those that did the like? |
| A27058 | If it be implicite faith that they are bringing us to, let them tell us which Councils we must so believe when they condemn each other? |
| A27058 | If it was well done in Bishops Councils, why not in them? |
| A27058 | If not, When was it that he thinks they ceased to be generally so commendable? |
| A27058 | If not, am I bound to dedicate my Book to such? |
| A27058 | If not, and I be ignorant in English too, what wrong is that to any Bishop? |
| A27058 | If not, did not the fear of Popery make that very Parliament begin to look so sowrely on the Clergy, as produced that which I need not tell you of? |
| A27058 | If so, can you imagine that after they had such Power, Churches could be usually made Hereticks without them? |
| A27058 | If so, what was that to the rest? |
| A27058 | If that which we judge sinful be not so, let them confute us: If it be so, and as great as we fear, is it not our duty to bewail it, and mourn for it? |
| A27058 | If the poor retired Monks were as bad as you make them, what wonder if great Lordly Bishops were much worse? |

| A27058 | Non entis non est actio: Could Bishops be Hereticks when there were no Bishops? |
| A27058 | Nor was it none of their doings? |
| A27058 | Not one true word? |
| A27058 | O what a World is this, and by what hands are we cast down? |
| A27058 | Or Chrysostome for any thing he could say to the Bishops for himself? |
| A27058 | Or Emperours that promoted them, as if this crossed what I say? |
| A27058 | Or John, when he said, Diotrephes loved to have the preheminence? |
| A27058 | Or against Diocesanes that speaks against Patriarchs? |

| A27058 | See what a man may do for a Bishoprick? |
| A27058 | So say the Papists: what? |
| A27058 | Spite and Malice are heart sins: If the same effect may come from other Causes, how know you that these are the Cause? |
| A27058 | Suppose the word choice were proper here,[ Is it any justification of the Executioners?] |
| A27058 | Sure not to all: Was Bishop Laud of that mind toward the Papists if Dr. Heylin say true? |
| A27058 | THis also runs throughout his Book; and must such Books be answered or believed? |
| A27058 | Thanks to Conscience: We feel your Animosities: But is not this man a Railing Accuser of Cyril, if I am such? |
| A27058 | The 41th thought the Epistle to the Hebrews was not written by Paul, but by Barnabas or Clemens? |
| A27058 | The Case that we are in is very sad, when both sides say they have the Evidence of Sense it self against each other; what hope then of Reconciliation? |
| A27058 | The Irish for murdering 200000, or Sir John Temple, Dr. Henry Jones, the E. of Orery, for recording and reporting what they did? |
| A27058 | The King then will condemn me by his Act of Oblivion, and by his own practice: Hath he not one of them for the Lord President of his Council? |
| A27058 | Then Socrates that knew him, and protesteth against flattery, and many others, are not to be believed? |
| A27058 | This is true: And what was that Rule? |
| A27058 | This was true and plain enough, to have ended all the quarrel: But who laid hold on it, or did improve it? |
| A27058 | This, saith he of Novatus, was the tender Conscience of the author of the Ancient sect of the Puritanes? |
| A27058 | To be then strange, and never to be at all; are not words of the same sense? |
| A27058 | To make themselves considerable you say, and shew what a Breach they could make? |
| A27058 | To suffer Ruine in the World? |
| A27058 | Unless they might have all their own Wills? |
| A27058 | Was Arch- Bishop Bromhall, Forbes, Beziar, Thorndike( and many more such) of that mind? |
| A27058 | Was Grotius of that mind toward them? |
| A27058 | Was John Foxe the Malefactor for writing the Sufferings of the Protestants under a lawful Queen? |
| A27058 | Was Seventeen years Poverty, Prohibition and Prosecution, and all this Importunity, no provocation or call to speak? |

| A27058 | Was it in Hildebrand''s Time, or any time before? |
| A27058 | Was it not Dioscorus and the Eutychians? |
| A27058 | Was it not most in a proud, domineering worldly Spirit? |
| A27058 | Was it not there extant to the sight of all? |
| A27058 | Was it only the Bishops at Constance and Basil, that were against suppressing the Bohemian and Moravian Reformation? |
| A27058 | Was it proved? |
| A27058 | Was it the body of the Presbterians, or who? |
| A27058 | Was it the sin of the Savoyards and others to kill and ruine the Protestants in Piedmont? |
| A27058 | Was it to be Lord Bishops? |
| A27058 | Was not their Ascent their Corruption? |
| A27058 | Was not this confusio ●? |
| A27058 | Was there then a good Succession of Ordination, when the World groaned to find it self Arian? |
| A27058 | Was your great Friend so excellent a man, and was it a good work to silence him, with which in your Conscience you think God is pleased? |
| A27058 | We can not: Our Judgments are not at our Command: What would they have us do to change? |
| A27058 | Were all these Arians before their Consecration? |
| A27058 | Were not about 2000 here silenced? |
| A27058 | Were not the Eastern Bishops, and the Western, of the same mold and temper? |

| A27058 | Were they not Bishops? |
| A27058 | Were they not Episcopal? |
| A27058 | Were they not commonly for ascending with them: Did not they in the East strive to be greatest? |
| A27058 | Were they not down right Blasphemy? |
| A27058 | Were they not, and are they not as his Army? |
| A27058 | What Bishops were they that persuaded him to make a Law to confirm the Ephesine, Eutychian Council? |

| A27058 | What have I said of Fact or Canons, which Binnius and their other Flatterers say not? |
| A27058 | What if I had said that this Bishop knoweth not how to interpret a plain Latine Sentence, as he saith it of himself? |
| A27058 | What if all this had been true? |
| A27058 | What if another had done as much against him, as he hath done against himself? |
| A27058 | What if we had gone further, and taken it for a crying Church Crime, and called all the Clergy to Repentance? |
| A27058 | What is it that is the root of this? |
| A27058 | What is it that such Historians may not say? |
| A27058 | What is it to me or any of my mind? |
| A27058 | What may temptation bring even good mens Judgment to? |
| A27058 | What name should one give to such Histories as these? |

| A27058 | When he is making the most of their estate and numbers, saith he[ I pray you tell me: How great a number of all sorts of men hath our City? |
| A27058 | Where do I lay all the fault on them? |
| A27058 | Where it is that he will stop in his Vindication of the Bishops and their Councils, and go no further? |
| A27058 | Whether he believes not verily that all these Instances prove that the Bishops have been the chief cause, and that by Ambition, Pride and Worldliness? |
| A27058 | Whether he think that Cranmer, Ridley, and Latimer, were more for Conformity than Jewel, Bilson, and Hooker, and Abbot? |
| A27058 | Whether he thought he had well defended the Church- Tyranny which I accused? |
| A27058 | Whether it be not the Bishops that in the Roman and other Parties now, are the greatest hinderers of Reformation, and of Concord? |
| A27058 | Whether there be no sin imposed by the Laws or Canons on Ministers and People here? |
| A27058 | Whether we have any reason to report the Faults of some Bishops and Councils, from the beginning of their Depravation till the last? |
| A27058 | Who can affirm or deny any thing of equivocal Words? |
| A27058 | Who could make any of all this necessary, but Pope, Prelates, or Princes, who pretended a Legislative Power hereto? |
| A27058 | Who denieth it? |
| A27058 | Who knows how to please men? |
| A27058 | Who most seeks Peace, you, or those that you prosecute? |
| A27058 | Who saith, they( the Presbyterians) brought in the King, besides your self? |
| A27058 | Who should be greatest? |
| A27058 | Who should have the largest, fattest, and most Ruling Diocess and Seat? |
| A27058 | Who then can it be but men that in general, though Episcopal, do profess Tenderness of Conscience? |
| A27058 | Who were those? |
| A27058 | Who will not love and praise the excellent Learning of such as Suarez, Vasquez, Victoria, Petavius and abundance such? |
| A27058 | Who will not praise the piety of such as Gerson, Borromaeus, Sales, and many others, though we nevertheless disown their Popery? |
| A27058 | Why are they so ordinarily reproached by the Prelatists for tolerating all Sects here in England? |
| A27058 | Why doth Scripture mention it, but that we may avoid the like? |
| A27058 | Why doth he not accuse him for the same description? |
| A27058 | Why then are they so in France, Spain, Italy, Poland,& c? |
| A27058 | Why then have you called them Presbyterians so long, and do so still? |
| A27058 | Will not the fire of Lust grow greater as the fewel is greater? |
| A27058 | Will you hear the proof that this is excessive Pride? |
| A27058 | Will you that there be 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 an hundred thousand? |
| A27058 | Would he perswade men that we give this Reason alone? |
| A27058 | Would they have us Conform while we judge it as sinful as I have mentioned in my first Plea for Peace? |
| A27058 | Would they have us believe all to be lawful? |
| A27058 | Yea Baronius himself consenteth? |
| A27058 | Yea what bitter censures doth he pass himself on no lower Historians than Socrates and Sozomen? |
| A27058 | Yea, and the greatness of it? |
| A27058 | Yea, doth not this man oft revile them far more bitterly than ever I did, and revile me for speaking so charitably of them? |
| A27058 | Yes, he doubts it not: It was for to be a Bishop that Novatian wrought his Villanies;( what if I had thus bedawbed the Episcopal?) |
| A27058 | Yes, one[ or did they protest against the proceedings of the Episcopal and Erastians? |
| A27058 | Yet he himself saith[ He doth indeed in several places find fault with this Council] And can you forgive him? |
| A27058 | [ A few turbulent Prelates Persecute good men] He saith thus I call the present Bishops of the Church of England; Doth he mean All or some? |
| A27058 | [ But how can that be done, for I have not now the Power of the Kingdom?] |
| A27058 | [ Were there ever greater violences committed than in that infamous Conventicle at Ephesus?] |
| A27058 | a Narrative from Bristol how they are crowded in the Gaol on the cold ground,& c. Is the Report the Crime? |
| A27058 | and by what cogent reason? |
| A27058 | and is it railing for us to say,[ They are untrue?] |
| A27058 | and it would not be soon done were it not through them? |
| A27058 | and many more in Trust and Honour? |
| A27058 | and those in the first and second Century? |
| A27058 | and what men are its corrupters? |
| A27058 | and which way the major Vote went? |
| A27058 | be wiser or bolder than we, and be beyond all such fears, should he not suffer Fools gladly, seeing he himself is wise? |
| A27058 | de Petavio:) If he lye in this, and the success of Petavius on Grotius, why should he be more trusted than others? |
| A27058 | he is not a man that is not sensible of Humane frailty? |
| A27058 | here rail upon a Bishop, in saying the same of him that I did, if my words were Railing? |
| A27058 | i. e. for abolishing Episcopacy and Common- Prayer?] |
| A27058 | if for all other your historical notices you are faln into such hands, what a mass of Untruths is in your Brain? |
| A27058 | or rather one bit after another? |
| A27058 | saith of Ithacius the like? |
| A27058 | that they were Gnosticks and Manichees? |
| A27058 | which be they? |
| A27058 | will you pretend to know more than the Church and Councils? |
| A27058 | yea, if he excelled not the Bishops? |
| A27050 | & c. And how can they do this that are utterly out of reach, and never know or see each other? |
| A27050 | & c. that the Church of Corinth had more Ministers, or Clergy men, or Pastors in it than one in Paul''s time? |
| A27050 | ( But then how should Satan have used the Churches as he hath done?) |
| A27050 | ( Were there not then as many Bishops as Church- Assemblies?) |
| A27050 | 1. and the consent of Antiquity, that they took it for a custome? |
| A27050 | 11. he saith, that the Angels before whom the Women in the Church must be veiled, are the Bishops as God''s Vicars?] |
| A27050 | 14. are said to meet all in one place, and to have so many Prophets and Interpreters in that one Assembly? |
| A27050 | 2. Who is either so fit, or so obliged to satisfie the Church of the Act, as he that doth it, and hath examined all the Cause? |
| A27050 | 2. between the contending Bishops on each side? |
| A27050 | 23, should not have such Elders as are there mentioned, which Doctor Hammond maintaineth to be Bishops? |
| A27050 | 28. or One Flock either? |
| A27050 | 40. or 50. miles of him? |
| A27050 | 5. dwelt with? |
| A27050 | 6. the power of the Keys, and make them meer converting Preachers, below Doctors and Pastors, and the same with Deacons? |
| A27050 | A Parson may have divers Curates under him, and not divers Churches, much loss a thousand that have no other Bishop? |
| A27050 | AND DO NOT THESE THINGS DESERVE GODS THUNDERBOLT A THOUSAND TIMES? |
| A27050 | ARE THEY NOT WORTHY TO BE PUNISHED WITH THE FIRE OF HELL? |
| A27050 | About what? |
| A27050 | Alas Lord, How long shall Christs enemies be the Pastors of his flocks? |
| A27050 | An put at Venerabilis mihi serenitas tua conceptam semel in animis religionem quam Deus ipse constituit posse evelli? |
| A27050 | And 1. who doubteth but the Magistrate may do all this? |
| A27050 | And Eulogius the Presbyter asked, Was the Emperour made Priest when he was made Emperour? |
| A27050 | And are the Bishops higher than the Evangelists? |
| A27050 | And are the Bishops in Council of another order than themselves out of Council? |
| A27050 | And are these therefore indifferent things? |
| A27050 | And are those Diocesan Churches that are no Churches? |
| A27050 | And can one Bishop be the publick Teacher of a thousand, a hundred, or many Churches: Can he feed them, and give them their meat in due season? |
| A27050 | And can that be proper to Bishops which the King may do? |
| A27050 | And did his writing from Philippi to Corinth subject Corinth to the Bishop of Philippi? |
| A27050 | And did not one plant and another water,( and usually more than one at once?) |
| A27050 | And do I yet need to say more, what mischief hath come by overmuch backing Church discipline by the sword? |
| A27050 | And doth it any where intimate that Paul was the Governour of Barnabas, or the sole Bishop of the Churches planted by them both together? |
| A27050 | And doth not all this shew what Episcopacy is? |
| A27050 | And doth not the Pope govern per alios yet far more, and pretend to govern the whole Christian World? |
| A27050 | And he asketh whether ever man heard of more Stewards than one in one house? |
| A27050 | And how arrogantly and turbulently did Epiphanius joyn with him? |
| A27050 | And how come they to have more power than King Balak had over Balaam? |
| A27050 | And how doth this loyal S. Ambrose carry it? |
| A27050 | And how easily did he get a Synod even where Chrysostome lived to second them? |
| A27050 | And how far have the Roman Bishops gone in this, even to Phocas, and such as he?) |
| A27050 | And how good a man was peaceable Bishop Hall, so Usher in Ireland, Moron and many more? |
| A27050 | And how great must that Diocess be, where all the Laity must chuse and vote? |
| A27050 | And how little do they differ? |
| A27050 | And how many Parishes can a Bishop thus serve? |
| A27050 | And how many Parishes, how many hundred thousand souls can one man do all this for, think you? |
| A27050 | And how many hundreds in a year can the Bishop do this for, besides all his other work? |
| A27050 | And how many score miles will they send and he go to visit the Sick at midnight? |
| A27050 | And how much of this will a Bishop have time to do, that hath the work of a Diocese of Christians on his hands? |
| A27050 | And how prove you that he and his Flock were no Church? |
| A27050 | And if commanding another to do an office work be all that is proper to the Bishop, I ask whether any thing there be proper to him? |
| A27050 | And if it be not so with the Bishops Office, what is the Reason? |
| A27050 | And if not on Ministers, why have there so great numbers been silenced, suspended, and troubled? |
| A27050 | And if so, I enquire whether God be not the maker of the Presbyters office, and not the Bishop? |
| A27050 | And if the Metropolis made not one Apostle Ruler of the rest, why should it do so by their successors? |
| A27050 | And if these had been as common, why are they not as much mentioned in the ancient records of the Church? |
| A27050 | And if ▪ you rise to a Patriarch or Pope, what Superiour of another Order giveth them their second Power? |
| A27050 | And in good sadness do these Diocesans love the souls of all the people better than they love their own? |
| A27050 | And in how many Churches at once will he do this? |
| A27050 | And in how many hundred Congregations at once will they do this? |
| A27050 | And indeed if all Ordination must be done by one of a Superiour Order, who shall Ordain Bishops, or Archbishops, or Patriarchs, or the Pope? |
| A27050 | And is a strictness short of theirs intolerable to you, that pretend to be more holy than they? |
| A27050 | And is all this too much strictness? |
| A27050 | And is it like that the Flock that this Person must say so to, was all Achaia? |
| A27050 | And is it probable that he began so great a Change the last year of his life? |
| A27050 | And is not Church discipline the exercise of the power of the keys? |
| A27050 | And is not that a Lay Office which a Lay- man may be Commissioned to do? |
| A27050 | And is not this Cannon made to rule Bishops themselves? |
| A27050 | And is not this a strange kind of Allegation? |
| A27050 | And is not this more than the people are now condemned for, who only hear the Ministers privately? |
| A27050 | And it was the Fabrica of One Church only that the Bishop was to give the fourth part to maintain( And were many hundred fabricks more forgotten?) |
| A27050 | And may not Christian Kings much more? |
| A27050 | And may not all this do much to keep up Concord? |
| A27050 | And must I absolve him from that sin which he repenteth of without the rest? |
| A27050 | And next let us inquire, whether this Church had no Bishops or Presbyters but Paul? |
| A27050 | And seeing it would not alter the species, what if it should please the King and Parliament to put down all the Bishops of England save One? |
| A27050 | And shall the Bishop do this for many hundred Churches? |
| A27050 | And shall we still stand by, and silently see this work go on? |
| A27050 | And so if a Physician commit his work statedly to another, or a Pilot, or the Master of a Family, he maketh the other a Physician, a Pilot, a Master? |
| A27050 | And sure he usurpeth not so much, who will be but the Church- guide of one? |
| A27050 | And that Presbyters( even in England) are members of these Synods, and so make Canons to rule the Bishops? |
| A27050 | And that a Bishop and an Altar are made correlatives? |
| A27050 | And that when they did come thither, they had not Apostolical Power there? |
| A27050 | And then I ask whether such a society as this be not a true Church? |
| A27050 | And then he must judge of their Repentance: and then he must try it: And for how many thousand can a Bishop do this, with the rest? |
| A27050 | And then whether you will call this a Form of Government or not, how little care I for the meer name? |
| A27050 | And therefore having opportunity by presence or nearness to know them and the witnesses, must judge of the credibility or reports or accusations? |
| A27050 | And unless this were so, whence came it else that a Schismatical Bishop was said, Constituere or collocare aliud altare? |
| A27050 | And was any man then made a Deacon to a Diocess? |
| A27050 | And were all the Apostles so negligent and forgetful? |
| A27050 | And were not Luke, Mark, Timothy, and other itinerant Evangelists, as such, of the Clergy, and such Assistants or secondary Apostles? |
| A27050 | And were the same Apostles no Stewards or Key- bearers out of their( feigned) several Provinces? |
| A27050 | And were there three hundred sixty five Cities think you in Ireland? |
| A27050 | And were they Christians or no Christians that made the Diocesane Form? |
| A27050 | And what a blind or blinding practice is it, which too many Writers for Prelacy have used? |
| A27050 | And what a silencing power is that which scarce any man would be ever silenced by? |
| A27050 | And what can a man gather hence to satisfie himself in this point? |
| A27050 | And what followeth? |
| A27050 | And what if a Patriarch or Pope put down all Bishops under him, and exercise his power only by other sorts of officers? |
| A27050 | And what if in Constantine''s days the Churches grew yet greater, than they did in the second, or third age compared to the Apostles? |
| A27050 | And what is Ordination but a General Investiture in the power of performing the Ministerial Office? |
| A27050 | And what is the Episcopal power over Infidels, which is claimed? |
| A27050 | And what is the Office( tell me if you can) beside Authority and Obligation to do the Work? |
| A27050 | And what kind of Cities were those? |
| A27050 | And what shall I speak of Bishops? |
| A27050 | And what stop shall we make of our additions, if there be no Law or Rule to govern the universal Church? |
| A27050 | And what was the cause of this one or two like to touch the Bishops of the other Churches? |
| A27050 | And what''s here? |
| A27050 | And when Paul tells the Romans and Corinthians what Officers God setteth in the Church, is it like there was none fixed among them? |
| A27050 | And when there were so great a number of Heretick Bishops, how many were there of the Catholicks and Donatists and all other sects set together? |
| A27050 | And where shall we find it? |
| A27050 | And whereas he asketh whether a sick man must send for the Colledge of Presbyters? |
| A27050 | And whether he be a true Presbyter or Minister of Christ that wants this power? |
| A27050 | And whether it did belong to the Men or the Place? |
| A27050 | And whether it was not so in the Church of Corinth''in particular? |
| A27050 | And whether little Cenchrea was over them also, because Phoebe carried the Letter? |
| A27050 | And whether one Church then had not many Bishops at once? |
| A27050 | And whether therefore it follow that there were no Bishops under them in particular Churches? |
| A27050 | And whether therefore there were many Bishops to a Diocess? |
| A27050 | And whether they be impenitent in these revoltings? |
| A27050 | And whether they lost any of their Power by making James Bishop? |
| A27050 | And whether they revolt by Heresie or wicked lives from their profession? |
| A27050 | And whether this made all the interjacent Countries their Diocesses, changing their Bishops as oft as they thus changed their Habitations? |
| A27050 | And whether to the Place whence they first set out, or to every place where they came? |
| A27050 | And who are they that have power to Rule the Church universal? |
| A27050 | And who but the Separatists do hold, that the power of the Keys for the exercise of this Discipline is in the Peoples hands? |
| A27050 | And who can prove that if there had been more men, the Apostles would have made a new Order of Presbyters, and not only more of the same Order? |
| A27050 | And who knoweth not that even Bishops are under these Canons also, who are of the same order? |
| A27050 | And who knoweth not that if a Tutor commit his work statedly to another, he maketh that other a Tutor? |
| A27050 | And who made that form? |
| A27050 | And why is a new office of Bishops set up in the world? |
| A27050 | And why may not the General Power or License be given at once as at twice? |
| A27050 | And why may not the Magistrate make all the same Canons who ruleth them all? |
| A27050 | And why might not all Europe on these terms make one particular Church? |
| A27050 | And why should not that first form stand? |
| A27050 | And why should so many hundred Ministers be forbidden to Preach Christ, for not assenting, consenting and Swearing to such a vaine and brutish power? |
| A27050 | And yet were these People without any proper Pastor? |
| A27050 | And yet whether they are not far more negligent in the exercise of discipline? |
| A27050 | Are the last words Tautological? |
| A27050 | Are you the Church Governours? |
| A27050 | Are you willing of a concord in your Churches upon the same terms as the Church of Rome hath it? |
| A27050 | As if a Judge or a Justice were no Governour, because he is under the King? |
| A27050 | As if the Presbyters were no Rulers of the Flocks, because the Bishops are Rulers of the Presbyters? |
| A27050 | Before men of another Countrey, that may swear and not repent with Peter, We know not the man? |
| A27050 | Before they had the Sword of the Magistrate to second them, they silenced none: For how could they do it? |
| A27050 | But I would fain know of these men what more it is that they would have, and what is the Church Government which they so much contend for? |
| A27050 | But alas when were these Rules observed by humane Churches? |
| A27050 | But all the rest did the same, as soon as they had People enow to make many Churches? |
| A27050 | But are we not likely to dispute well, when we never agree of the Subject, or terms of the Question? |
| A27050 | But do not we see that a whole County can meet to chuse Parliament Men? |
| A27050 | But doth not he that sendeth his servant to pay a debt, himself in Law- sense pay it per alium? |
| A27050 | But how can they comfort themselves together that never came together, or see each other? |
| A27050 | But how the world by the countenance of Emperours was invited to come in t the Church? |
| A27050 | But how unfit is this objection for a Prelates mouth or pen? |
| A27050 | But if by way of love, who knoweth not what advantage the present Pastor hath above the absent, caeteris paribus, to get the peoples love? |
| A27050 | But if it were John''s work it was Theirs; And if theirs, why did they not perform it? |
| A27050 | But is it not so much the better? |
| A27050 | But is not the whole man edified( naturally or morally) by the edification of a part? |
| A27050 | But is this all that the Bishops desire? |
| A27050 | But is this an Objection fit for the Prelatists to make? |
| A27050 | But no such thing was done by any of them? |
| A27050 | But shall the disease or extraordinary case, or dicffiulty of such a Parish, make us change the old and true definition of a Church? |
| A27050 | But the Churches grew greater after than before? |
| A27050 | But the Question is not whether Bishops have the power of the Keys, but whether all Presbyters have it not also? |
| A27050 | But though this be but ad homines, yet really we have had very worthy and excellent persons to be Bishops; what a man was Jewell? |
| A27050 | But what can be so plain as to convince the prejudiced and unwilling? |
| A27050 | But what if it were all as true as it is false? |
| A27050 | But what if the Bishop bid them? |
| A27050 | But what if the people will not consent to any but a Heretick or intolerable person? |
| A27050 | But what''s all this to us? |
| A27050 | But who be those? |
| A27050 | But who can believe that Christ thus modled his Churches in his institution? |
| A27050 | But who can think that this is spoken of many Congregations, where the peoples Will could not easily be signified? |
| A27050 | But whoever said of all the County or Diocess[ To the County, Diocess, dwelling at York, Worcester, Warwick?] |
| A27050 | But why then were they set so much higher, and had so much more power since the dayes of Constantine then before? |
| A27050 | But, alas, since then what streams of blood have been shed to ● ack the Romane discipline? |
| A27050 | Can the Bishops any more chuse to deliver this possession by Ordination, than to preach the Gospel? |
| A27050 | Can you deny this? |
| A27050 | Constance,& c.) which have ever since made Canons for Discipline? |
| A27050 | Could they have made Presbyters that had no power to teach the people? |
| A27050 | Did Prelacy preserve those Emperors of the East that suffered by it? |
| A27050 | Did ever Presbyterians commit such an unchristian and inhumane vilany as this, by such false dissimulation and malice? |
| A27050 | Did he attend the Tables of many Churches each Lords day at the same time? |
| A27050 | Did it preserve Frederick, and the two Henries of Germany? |
| A27050 | Did it preserve the Kingdome of Navar to the right Lord? |
| A27050 | Did this favour of Bishop''s Secular Power, Magistracy or Domination? |
| A27050 | Do I need to recite how great Leo himself and other Roman and Italian Bishops owned the Barbarian Conquerours? |
| A27050 | Do Nonconformists speak more harshly to our Bishops? |
| A27050 | Do not the people now despise them? |
| A27050 | Do our hearers deal as harsshly as this? |
| A27050 | Do the children beget their own father, or the sheep choose their own shepherd? |
| A27050 | Do you make them believe this, by not seeing one of a thousand or many hundred of your flock once in all the time of your lives? |
| A27050 | Do you not know that where Prelacy is at the highest, there Kings and Emperours have been at the lowest? |
| A27050 | Doth it now preserve the Emperour of Moscovy, where the Patriarks interest is pretended in the rebellion? |
| A27050 | Doth not the Reader wonder where is the Proof? |
| A27050 | Doth not the Text expresly say that Paul and Barnabas long travelled together? |
| A27050 | Doth not this grant to the Brownists, that the Parish Churches are no Churches, but onely parts of the Diocesane Church? |
| A27050 | Doth the silencing of so many Ministers shew it? |
| A27050 | Especially where Bishops make it their office to forbid the Pastors to do theirs, and to keep them from Preaching the word of life? |
| A27050 | Et postea, Quid vero aliud Sacerdotium est( vel Presbyterium) quam sacer coetus, Conciliarii& assessores Episcopi? |
| A27050 | Even the Communion of Christians in Doctrine, Prayer and Sacrament? |
| A27050 | For may not the King command the Minister to do all the work which belongeth to his function? |
| A27050 | For who is fitter to choose, or refuse, or consent at least, than he whose everlasting interest lieth at the stake? |
| A27050 | For who more immoderate in their care for the things of this life than you? |
| A27050 | For why can not a Lay- man Ordain with the Bishop but because he hath no such authority? |
| A27050 | Had it no Government? |
| A27050 | Had they so many Sects and false Teachers to trouble them, and yet no Pastors? |
| A27050 | Have they all superiours to do it? |
| A27050 | Have you not fine Churches and members, that are not fit to choose no nor consent to their own Guides? |
| A27050 | He pretendeth to prove, that in the Apostles times Parishes began to be distinguished under one only Bishop,& c. But what''s the proof? |
| A27050 | How Bishopricks were made baites for the proud and tyrannical and Covetous? |
| A27050 | How big was the Diocess when this Canon was first made? |
| A27050 | How big was this Diocess? |
| A27050 | How big yet was the Church even then? |
| A27050 | How easie a way to Heaven( which leadeth to Hell) do such good- natured( cruel) Churches make men? |
| A27050 | How few of all the Heresies mentioned by Epiphanius, after that Prelacy was in force, were not Headed and carried on by Prelates? |
| A27050 | How great a part of Cyprians Epistles to the Churches of Carthage and Rome, are on this subject? |
| A27050 | How great think you were these Bishops Dioceses? |
| A27050 | How large was this Diocess? |
| A27050 | How many hundred Churches think you had a Church then in the Belly of it? |
| A27050 | How many hundred thousand of the Waldenses and Albigenses did they murther? |
| A27050 | How much less all these set together? |
| A27050 | How then must they be confuted? |
| A27050 | How then will you silence a Heretick without the Sword? |
| A27050 | How worldly wealth, power and honour did indue them? |
| A27050 | I askt whether the King and Parliament had not power to set up a Bishop in every Corporation? |
| A27050 | I deny not but the Magistrate may moderately drive men to hear Gods word, and to do the immediate duties of their places? |
| A27050 | I think all this is past contradiction And I ask then whether that all giving of power to another be proper to the Bishops order? |
| A27050 | I will come to you, will ye that I come with the Rod? |
| A27050 | I ● it not pity that things should be so strangely carried? |
| A27050 | If Christians, were they orderly Christians, or rebellious? |
| A27050 | If Paul''s carrying the Letters from Antioch to other Cities, proved Antioch the Governour of the rest? |
| A27050 | If a Parish may be too large for a Bishops work, how little reason have they to make a Church, and take the Pastoral Care of many hundred Parishes? |
| A27050 | If after all this evidence from Ignatius any will wrangle, let him wrangle: what words can be plain enough for such? |
| A27050 | If he was of no Church, how came he by power to make Church forms, that was of none himself? |
| A27050 | If it be needful to be exercised on Ministers, why not on the People also? |
| A27050 | If it be not needful, why did the universal Church use it, and that so strictly from the beginning? |
| A27050 | If it was not all nor many Pastors that were thus turned out( as Clemens words import) why should all Achaia be called seditious, and blamed for it? |
| A27050 | If it was of another Form, I ask, what it was? |
| A27050 | If not( as all say not) then I ask, whether the Bishops work or the Presbyters be the more sacred? |
| A27050 | If not, the City should have none: If they are, where hath God exempted the Country from the priviledge or duty any more than the City? |
| A27050 | If not, what is? |
| A27050 | If of a Church, what form had that Church? |
| A27050 | If of no Church, what Bishops were those, and by what power did they make new Church Forms that were of none themselves? |
| A27050 | If one be chosen Bishop to keep out Hetesie, and he prove a Heretick, and the Presbyters Orthodox, whatis his power to that end? |
| A27050 | If one be chosen Bishop to keep out Schisin, and he prove a Schisinatick or Sect- Master, and the rest concordant, what is his power? |
| A27050 | If orderly, how happened it that they were of no Church themselves, when the Apostles setled so much of Church Form and Order, as I have before named? |
| A27050 | If so, Why should we all swear to this one form, that we will never endeavour to alter it? |
| A27050 | If the Churches were more numerous, why might they not have been distributed into more particular Churches? |
| A27050 | If the after times may change these Orders, who can prove that they may not change all things else of supernatural institution? |
| A27050 | If the former, than what differ they from a Parish Church, or an Independent Church, which is planted in a City? |
| A27050 | Is all this contention that you may have the Keys alone, without the parish Ministers? |
| A27050 | Is any man sick? |
| A27050 | Is he not custos utriusque tabulae? |
| A27050 | Is it against your Consciences meerly to make us odious with you know whom? |
| A27050 | Is it an Universal Legislation? |
| A27050 | Is it any thing but Humane License to Exercise the Power of Office of Divine institution before received? |
| A27050 | Is it not notorious in England that no Congregations have had more Learned and holy Pastors, than where the People have had their choice? |
| A27050 | Is it the making of Church Lawes or Canons? |
| A27050 | Is not order for the the thing ordered? |
| A27050 | Is the Bishops liberality the original of the Office? |
| A27050 | Is the flock with them or among them? |
| A27050 | Is this a fit answer for those that are their Ordainers? |
| A27050 | Is this a laudable description? |
| A27050 | Is this your Church justice, or rather malice to me? |
| A27050 | It is an Essential part of the Pastoral Office to have the Power of Discipline: And what is the Power for but the Work? |
| A27050 | It is their own soul that must be saved or damned? |
| A27050 | John,& c. from their wars and troubles? |
| A27050 | Let but the ancient Canons be perused, and how contrary to them will this course appear? |
| A27050 | May not the King do the same? |
| A27050 | May not the whole Church be edified per partes? |
| A27050 | Must the peoples Souls be poysoned and damned, till the Bishop please to take away the poyson and to save them? |
| A27050 | Must there be such swearing to the perpetuating an alterable unnecessary thing? |
| A27050 | Nam quid aliud interpretatur Episcopus nisi superinspector? |
| A27050 | Nay, what one considerable Parish would not find a Bishop with divers assistants work enough in all these kinds, if it be faithfully done? |
| A27050 | Nay, when will he prove, that ever any Presbyter was Ordained by the Apostles, or by any others as they appointed, without the power of the Keys? |
| A27050 | Need we an office of Bishops to rule Bishops of the same office? |
| A27050 | No though an ignorant person ask him? |
| A27050 | Now I leave it to the consideration of sober minds how many Churches, or Congregations could do all this? |
| A27050 | Now how can a Diocesan judge of this, that is not within many miles of the place, nor never saw the person in his life? |
| A27050 | Now is it possible for a Bishop to do this: To instruct, oversee, counsel, one of many hundreds of the flock? |
| A27050 | Or how prove you that Presbyters should not rather have been increased in the number of the same Order, than a new Order invented? |
| A27050 | Or if that will not inform you, try over England where you come, how many are( though but cursorily as a hasty ceremony) confirmedat all? |
| A27050 | Or that had Cognisance of them or acquaintance with them? |
| A27050 | Or whether they were Apostles, and not Bishops? |
| A27050 | Our Controversie is like this, Whether all the Families in the Town should have but One common Master? |
| A27050 | Prove the latter if you can to be included in our Baptism? |
| A27050 | Quaere, Whether the thing cease not, where the reason of it ceaseth? |
| A27050 | Quam immanitatem barbaram, malefici abs te in dies singulos admissa non superarunt?) |
| A27050 | Qui vero inter reliquos princeps Episcopus, percontetur Episcopos& populum, an ipse sit quem praeesse petunt? |
| A27050 | Quis e laudatorum virorum numero non parte exulavit? |
| A27050 | Reader was not that time more strange than ours? |
| A27050 | Severus give of the whole Synods of Bishops that followed Ithacius and Idacius? |
| A27050 | Socrates brandeth Cyril of Alexandriae,* for the first Prelate that used the sword: and what work did he make with it? |
| A27050 | Some great change was made in Churches before men could arrive at such a conceit? |
| A27050 | That was not the way for 300 years after Christ: And what was Episcopacy for till then? |
| A27050 | The Roman Empire was bigger than Europe: Why then might not that have been one only Church of the same Species with a Diocese? |
| A27050 | The former answers serve to this: You do fairly to keep such people in the Church? |
| A27050 | There is no Universal King but Christ, who else is Governour of all the world or all the Churches in the world? |
| A27050 | There was a question broached a little before, whether God were a body, made after the likeness and forme of man? |
| A27050 | They that lived so austerely, and favoured not the flesh; that speak so tenderly of the worth of souls? |
| A27050 | They that write so strictly of the labours of the Ministery? |
| A27050 | This objection it self doth intimate, seeing the Bishop may give another Power to ordaine:( and then why may not the King?) |
| A27050 | Thus far I confess he speakes of the Popish Bishops: But who would believe he meant not ours that had seen them? |
| A27050 | To what parpose this Sovereignty was given to Jerusalem, which was never possess''d and exercised? |
| A27050 | Was a Diocese then, One Church, or two?) |
| A27050 | Was all this carried him from many hundred Parishes, many score Miles? |
| A27050 | Was the Church laid common to all? |
| A27050 | Was there no power of the Keys? |
| A27050 | We desire Appeals to the next Synod: and is that to be a Pope? |
| A27050 | Were I one of these people, I would be bold to ask the Diocesan[ Sir what is the Heresie or Crime that he is guilty of? |
| A27050 | Were not Bishops the meanes of the Churches concord in all ages? |
| A27050 | Were not all the very Heathen Emperors heretofore, and are not all the Heathen Kings still, Kings, and as great as others, without Bishops? |
| A27050 | Were they every Lords day to deposit their Collections, and have no Pastors, and so no Church- Assemblies? |
| A27050 | What Learned, Judicious worthy men, were his Brother Robert Abbot and after him Davenant, Bishops of Salisbury? |

| A27050 | What if a Prelate, a Parliament, a Patron, or a forefather, chuse Masspriests or Hereticks for us, must we accept the choice? |
| A27050 | What if the Magistrates believe you not, will you convince him by Scripture or by your Authority over the Magistrate? |
| A27050 | What if we prove but the lawfulness of it, though not the Duty? |
| A27050 | What is in all this against Kings? |
| A27050 | What is in the nature of the thing to warrant this assertion? |
| A27050 | What is it then, is it an Universal Exposition of the Scripture or of Christs Laws? |
| A27050 | What is it then, is it to be the Kings Ecclesiastical Council, to prepare such Canons as he shall enact? |

| A27050 | Whether Peter''s being at Rome could alter this Church- Constitution? |
| A27050 | Whether all the rest of the Parishes were not the Bishops Charge? |

| A27050 | Who more eager in the pursuit of riches and honor, more tenacious in withholding good from the owners thereof, than your selves? |
| A27050 | Who then is this Church Ruine and Abomination long of but your selves, who have and only will have the Keys? |

| A27050 | Why do you not take care that the Churches by discipline may be better constituted? |
| A27050 | Why is not this foolish scorne used against these foresaid relations also? |
| A27050 | Why may not an Abbot as well rule a thousand Monasteries, per alios non Abbates, as a Bishop a thousand Churches per alios non Episcop ● s? |

| A27050 | Will any knowing man deny that he contradicteth not only Hierom and Theodoret, but the common Exposition of the Fathers, by this his odd Opinion? |
| A27050 | Will the righteous God be always mocked? |

| A27050 | Will you yet have more? |
| A27050 | Without a Prelate? |
| A27050 | Yea which all Emperours have formerly used? |
| A27050 | Yea, even by their cruelty, so far was cruelty from preventing it? |
| A27050 | Yea, or Corporations either? |
| A27050 | Yea, whether they had not more Bishops or Presbyters than one? |
| A27050 | [ But where good Sir, do I say, they must have the sole power in Ordination, which you have so oft objected, and now again repeat? |
| A27050 | a Bishop of a whole Church, not at all obliged to Teach, or Guide in personal worshipping, any part of that Church but one? |
| A27050 | and Hooker in their Principles of Government?) |
| A27050 | and admitted the first sort only to Communion? |
| A27050 | and are not Christians only members of the Church? |
| A27050 | and even Hierome make himself partaker? |
| A27050 | and how large was such a Diocess? |
| A27050 | and how many Churches could he thus oversee? |
| A27050 | and how many Congregations did they contain? |
| A27050 | and must he not corect mal- administration in ministers, and drive them to do their duty? |
| A27050 | and not the Gnosticks, nor Jews, but Nero beheaded Paul; and the Jews themselves were banished Rome? |
| A27050 | and one Apostle could undo what all together had done? |
| A27050 | and so a Jerusalem Papacy be not essential to the true Church and Religion? |
| A27050 | and so to the Original? |
| A27050 | and so whether we must have such an office? |
| A27050 | and so, whether it be not jure Divino? |
| A27050 | and such as is described in scripture? |
| A27050 | and such as should ordinarily be continued in the world? |
| A27050 | and suffer men to make merchandice of Souls, and to vilifie them and set them at cheaper rates than they would do a goose, a pig, or a dog? |
| A27050 | and that God consented to this change? |
| A27050 | and that abuse the Church by feigning an Office of Presbyters that are not Presbyters, and proving that Church- Governors are not Church- Governors? |
| A27050 | and that are chidden for suffering him in their Communion? |
| A27050 | and that are directed when they meet together to cast him out, and not to eat with him? |
| A27050 | and that more than by one Apostle, even by all of them that were then at Jerusalem? |
| A27050 | and this to prove that an University is one College? |
| A27050 | and who made the Form of that other Church which made this Church Form? |
| A27050 | at Newark, or Gainsborough, or Boston, what shall they all do between that and Barnet, or the remotest part of Buckinghamshire? |
| A27050 | be examples to them that are out of the notice of their words and lives? |

| A27050 | did ye diligently instruct the ignorant? |
| A27050 | make you no conscience of publishing untruths? |
| A27050 | may he not appoint Magistrates, and make Law to command it? |
| A27050 | may he not punish those that do it not? |
| A27050 | must the Magistrate let Hereticks alone till it please the Diocesan to judge them? |
| A27050 | not they that preached almost daily? |
| A27050 | of France? |
| A27050 | of the English Prelates Treasons? |
| A27050 | or all left to humane prudence? |
| A27050 | or doth it not encrease their condemnation? |
| A27050 | or else by a distinct Superior Authority, more powerful than the Ministers? |
| A27050 | or from all because he repenteth of one? |
| A27050 | or of several bearers of one Key? |
| A27050 | or should not have such Episcopos gregis overseers of this flock, as are impowered to do all the foresaid works of their proper Office? |
| A27050 | or than a Christian Emperour had over Chrysostom? |
| A27050 | or that we must bow to every ancient Canon? |
| A27050 | or to many hundred Churches? |
| A27050 | or to more than one? |
| A27050 | or to the place where they dyed? |
| A27050 | or were they all equal? |
| A27050 | or( as the& caetera Oath) never consent to the alteration of it, when we know not but the King may alter it, or command us to endeavour it? |
| A27050 | reprehending the Confessors and Presbyters for taking lapsed persons into Church Communion before they had fulfilled their penitential course? |
| A27050 | severely punish the disobedient? |
| A27050 | that all the rest were not served so too? |
| A27050 | that is, Who shall be pronounced fit or unfit for it, by our selves? |
| A27050 | they say themselves, what would the Keys signifie without the Sword? |
| A27050 | to pretend Ignatius to be for them, who is so much and plain against them? |
| A27050 | under whose examination and hands all men enter into the Ministery? |
| A27050 | what Bishop called you to the office? |
| A27050 | what can it be better, if you grant that we are not only for Episcopacy in genere, but even for the same species with your selves? |
| A27050 | what meaneth he by that which can be good sence? |
| A27050 | what need we more witness? |
| A27050 | what then would they do if they had their wills? |
| A27050 | when God licenceth them to the work, when he calleth them to that office, which essenti? |
| A27050 | where one of a thousand never heard his voice nor saw his face? |
| A27050 | whether men commission him or not? |
| A27050 | whether when he returned from the other to Antioch again, he made not the other the Governours of Antioch? |
| A27050 | who is it but Bishops( or so much as them) that you think should be called unto Councils? |
| A27050 | who is the real Architect he that buildeth the house, or he that hath the title, and doth nothing unless it be hindering the builders? |
| A27050 | who know him no more than one in another kingdom? |
| A27050 | whose work is to hinder the Ministers of Christ from their officwork, under pretence of a power of Licensing them to it? |
| A27050 | will it follow that still more new Orders may be devised, as Subpriests were? |
| A27050 | would you indeed have such a concord? |
| A27050 | yea part of his Church, yea equally with the other part? |
| A27050 | yea that it belongeth to him to regulate such things as these? |
| A27050 | yea, by a more eminent Authority than the Scriptures, which were written by parts, by several single Men, some Apostles, and some Evangelists? |
| A27050 | — But, alas in what kind of things do they bear themselves as Bishops? |
| A27050 | † Doth a publick Church Pastor govern but privately? |
| A26912 | & c. If not every one, which of them is it? |
| A26912 | ( For then when I am in one Church, I separate from all other in the world?) |
| A26912 | ( unless you call the Communion a fault of which we are to speak anon) Did I ever seek to abate your dislike of the sins which you most speak against? |
| A26912 | 18 I appeal to Universities, Tutors and Schools, whether they know none such? |
| A26912 | 3 and 4? |
| A26912 | 4 ▪ Is it not a shameful receding from our Reformation, now to use an unreformed Liturgie? |
| A26912 | 5? |
| A26912 | Alas, brother, how impertinent is your question? |
| A26912 | Alas, brother, will you leave England no hope of a Cure? |
| A26912 | Alas, how ignorant even honest people remain; And how slowly they come on in knowledge? |
| A26912 | Alas, poor Christians, that ever you should either be instructed at this rate? |
| A26912 | Alas, whither would you carry the people of the Lord? |
| A26912 | Alas, will God leave us also, even us to the obdurateness of Pharaoh? |
| A26912 | And I admire that the Prelates that ask so often[ What will satisfie us?] |
| A26912 | And I appeal to all men that are awake, whether there be no Christian children in the World? |
| A26912 | And I would you knew what spirit you are of, whether you have none of the same spirit your self? |
| A26912 | And a thing beyond dispute? |
| A26912 | And all the Churches on earth that use a Liturgie? |
| A26912 | And all they that followed Swinkfeldius, and Behmen, and Sti ● felius, and Muntzer, and such others? |
| A26912 | And all they that have followed Dr. Crispe, or Arminius, or the Leading Anabaptists, or Seekers, of these ages? |
| A26912 | And also whether this earnest prayer( or Curse) and this bold Appeal to God, be not prophane, and rather a fruit of passion, than charitable zeal? |
| A26912 | And an Armies force upon the Parliament which they promised obedience to? |
| A26912 | And are not the Watch- men of Christ still bound to tell the Church of their danger on the one side, as well as the other? |
| A26912 | And are not your disorders and unmeet expressions sins, as well as theirs? |
| A26912 | And at what age do they come to know all things, and to be past the title of Ignorant? |
| A26912 | And be not such a way as Papists, Quakers, and most deluded people commonly boast of? |
| A26912 | And couldst bring thy heart accordingly to condemn them, and separate from them? |
| A26912 | And did I ever change my mind? |
| A26912 | And did not the Presbyterians think that the Sectaries persecuted them? |
| A26912 | And do not many besides Rutherford think the same of him? |
| A26912 | And do not many turn to them of late? |
| A26912 | And do we not feel it? |
| A26912 | And do you imitate Nehemiah and others of Gods Servants, that use to Confess the sins of all ranks and sorts of men? |
| A26912 | And do you not implicitly charge all or most Protestant Writers with insolence and intolerable pride as well as me? |
| A26912 | And do you not remember? |
| A26912 | And do you not suppose me to think otherwise of it? |
| A26912 | And do you not think that this is because I understand it not? |
| A26912 | And do you not undoubtedly hereby give up all honesty to be avoided? |
| A26912 | And do you think that they would not have silenced my book, if it had been in their power? |
| A26912 | And fathering all this on God and Religion be not a sad aggravation of it? |
| A26912 | And for that( if you will take the word ▪ false- worship] in that sense) do not you also worship God falsly when you worship him sinfully? |
| A26912 | And guilty of all which he calleth the Effects? |
| A26912 | And had they not now broken the Church sufficiently, and made it small enough, when they had made it none? |
| A26912 | And have not all mankind a deficiencie of understanding? |
| A26912 | And having ears, hear yee not? |
| A26912 | And how he took that occasion to warn them by the comparison of a child, and by his washing and wiping of their feet? |
| A26912 | And how many parties have I thus been pitied by? |
| A26912 | And how should a man know the names of all that look in at a Church- door? |
| A26912 | And how small a Church doth any one sect make? |
| A26912 | And if it prevail, what abundance of hurt will it do? |
| A26912 | And if you bring poor souls no better directions for their full assurance, peace and joy, whether in the end you will not prove a miserable Comforter? |
| A26912 | And in other parts of knowledge, al ● s, what are we to Reignolds, Ames, Parker and several of the rest? |
| A26912 | And is it not as lawful to think so of the Papists? |
| A26912 | And is it pride and insolence to say so? |
| A26912 | And is it pride for a man to say that he can easier speak what is in his mind? |
| A26912 | And is it pride to thank the World for their Civilities to me, in mixing comm ● ndations, which I disown, with their censures? |
| A26912 | And is it sin to tell your selves of your former sins, and none to tell the Bishops of it? |
| A26912 | And is not all this yet an open signification of their Dissent from the things which they so far deny complyance with? |
| A26912 | And is not this to silence that Teaching which is against your judgement? |
| A26912 | And is that a secret which their books and their assemblies tell the World? |
| A26912 | And is the thing I say true or false? |
| A26912 | And is this in you inconsistent with all Love? |
| A26912 | And is this probatum given against malignity a word of pride too? |
| A26912 | And many others there were afterwards under several Usurping Powers; And do you call all these one? |
| A26912 | And must all Christians in the World be taught to fly from one another as Idolaters? |
| A26912 | And must any man consent to sin? |
| A26912 | And shall I no ● be so with you, if I obey your challenge? |
| A26912 | And shall they use our hands to do their works, and pull their freedom out of the fire? |
| A26912 | And shall we now contradict our selves, and say that things necessary are not sufficient for our union? |
| A26912 | And should I not do my best, to prevent such a course of daily sin? |
| A26912 | And that God hateth the prayers of all Christian Families and Christians that use a form? |
| A26912 | And that men dare yet continue such sayings while the book is visible to prove them false? |
| A26912 | And the Atomists of Epicurus, Democritus and Lucretius; and the Cartesians of their Master? |
| A26912 | And then would you not have hindered me from Preaching the same thing, if you could have done it? |
| A26912 | And this before ever they saw my book, or ever spake with man that saw it? |
| A26912 | And to do all this as for God, with dreadful appeals to him? |
| A26912 | And we must first know, How far God made the Scripture for our Rule? |
| A26912 | And what assurance have they of it more than all the rest that are as confident? |
| A26912 | And what more can be done to destroy mens souls, than to harden them against the Word? |
| A26912 | And what reason have you to charge any other mens sins on them? |
| A26912 | And what signs of such mutability did they shew? |
| A26912 | And when I cite Gildas, calling such no Ministers, but enemies and traytors,& c. Were you not very rash in this? |
| A26912 | And when in the history of Martin, I tell you how neer it I am my self, as to such as Martin separated from? |
| A26912 | And when in the scheme in the conclusion I describe it? |
| A26912 | And when they have done, whether they will also proceed to a Family Excommunication of them for the same causes? |
| A26912 | And where shall we find it? |
| A26912 | And whether I purposely justifie persecution? |
| A26912 | And whether all such children are cured of Ignorance and Injudiciousness, and know all things by the anointing of the Spirit? |
| A26912 | And whether both as Affirmer among Logicians, and as Accuser among men of justice, the proof be not incumbent on him? |
| A26912 | And whether he here knew what spirit he was of? |
| A26912 | And whether it be any great fault to silence you and me and all the Preachers in the Land, if prayer be the only means of knowledge? |
| A26912 | And whether to say so, be enough to make people afraid of being honest? |
| A26912 | And whether we have not greater Light into these Controversies than they? |
| A26912 | And whether we have not greater Light into these Controversies, than they had? |
| A26912 | And whether you do not before you are aware still agree with them whom you most avoid, who cry up Church- prayers to cry down Preaching? |
| A26912 | And whether your way here opened( by receiving sudden Comfort by a remembred Text) be sounder doctrine? |
| A26912 | And who knoweth not how fair a game the Papists have to play by the means of our divisions? |
| A26912 | And why Hearing and Preaching are so much urged? |
| A26912 | And why Paul bids Timothy give himself to Reading, and meditate on these things, and give thy self wholly to them? |
| A26912 | And why did you not answer my instance of the Pharisees long prayers? |
| A26912 | And why should I? |
| A26912 | And why should it divide us more, if mens practice be according to their judgements, rather than for them to sin against their Consciences? |
| A26912 | And why should not you bear with my dissent, as well as I do with yours? |
| A26912 | And why you wrote this book against me, if your earnest prayers against me, and the people, be the only means? |
| A26912 | And will any Christian deny the truth of this except the Enthusiasts? |
| A26912 | And will you put sorth such a book as your own to the World, and when you have done deny the Ignorance and Injudiciousness of all Christians? |
| A26912 | And would you have had all the Churches of Christ on Earth, to be dissolved, when they were dissolved? |
| A26912 | And yet is all this to be justified, or silenced? |
| A26912 | Answer this, as to Mr. Nie about hearing, and to me about Praying; if you can? |
| A26912 | Are Papists insulting over us in our shame? |
| A26912 | Are all the Hungarian, and Transilvanian, and old Polonian Protestants, that come neer this order, withour Order, or unsetled? |
| A26912 | Are all these therefore in the right? |
| A26912 | Are not all the Preachers in England forsakers of Gods work that preach not in London? |
| A26912 | Are not all these reasons enough? |
| A26912 | Are not you, brother, by your own censure notoriously insolent and intolerably proud, if this hold good, as well as I? |
| A26912 | Are our Rulers by all this exasperated to the severities which we feel? |
| A26912 | Are the falls of Gods servants recited in Scripture, a reason to teach men to flye from honesty or religion? |
| A26912 | Are there any such Christians or not? |
| A26912 | Are there no such presumptuous boasters? |
| A26912 | Are these Questions now to be answered by me? |
| A26912 | Are these beseeming self denying humble persons? |
| A26912 | Are thousands hardened by these and such like dealings into a scorn of all Religion? |
| A26912 | Are we made by it the by- word and hissing of the Nations, and the shame and pitty of all our friends? |
| A26912 | Are you for more Infallibility and Perfection than the Papists themselves? |
| A26912 | Are you not here partial? |
| A26912 | Are you sure that none of all these were honest? |
| A26912 | Are you sure that they that followed their Leaders into all those sects which Epiphanius and others mention, were all dishonest? |
| A26912 | As I write for my opinion, so do you for yours? |
| A26912 | As if we must grant that, if men can but prove this straying disposition in many honest persons, they must be afraid to be honest? |
| A26912 | Ask any that ever did Converse with me; whether ever I was suspected of flattery, or dawbing with men sins? |
| A26912 | Ask the Bishops that Conferred with us at the Savoy, 1660? |
| A26912 | Ask your self that read our Reply then? |
| A26912 | At what age were you past your ignorance and injudiciousness, and knew all things? |
| A26912 | BRethren, why should I wonder at the fruits of those weaknesses which we are all subject to( some more, some less) in this state of imperfection? |
| A26912 | BUT will not this course divide us among our selves; while one goeth to the Parish Churches and another doth not? |
| A26912 | Behold the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me: how then shall,& c. ● saith Moses? |
| A26912 | Besides my five Disputations of Church Government, how oft have I written against Persecution? |
| A26912 | Brethren, what now Comparatively are all the separated Churches or parties upon Earth? |
| A26912 | Brother, Do you think men must trust their souls on your naked word? |
| A26912 | Brother, do you like this way, or do you not? |
| A26912 | But I beseech you promote superstition no more, and feign no Divine Laws which you can not shew us? |
| A26912 | But are all these Christians that you plead for separation from, and charge with Idolatry, Infidels, and denyers of Christ? |
| A26912 | But how did he know this? |
| A26912 | But how? |
| A26912 | But is it not this very suffering and reproach, and insulting of others, which maketh you think that it is not your duty? |
| A26912 | But is this impartial enquiring into the truth? |
| A26912 | But le ts hear the Charge? |
| A26912 | But not the best which we can not do? |
| A26912 | But still How hard is it to know our selves? |
| A26912 | But suppose I had said little against it, will you charge me with Negatives or omissions before you know my Reasons? |
| A26912 | But what if I had not in this Book spoken much against Persecution, Is it not enough that I have done it in others? |
| A26912 | But what if in all this I be mistaken, and if Communion in the Liturgie prove unlawful? |
| A26912 | But what if in this book I write neither against the prophane, nor the Iews, nor the Mahometans? |
| A26912 | But what if the Text had meant properly[ yee know all things;] Do you prove that this is spoken of all true Christians, and that in all ages? |
| A26912 | But what is the Charge against me here? |
| A26912 | But when many of us vend untruths, and slanders against our brethren about the land, who aggravateth this or repenteth of it? |
| A26912 | But where''s his reason or Confutation? |
| A26912 | But why are you so angry with me for being and doing so bad, when I have no freedom to be or to do better, any more than the fire not to burn? |
| A26912 | But why should a Preacher think that a man must speak against no sin which he is guilty of himself? |
| A26912 | But you ask,[ How comes the Scripture not to be mentioned?] |
| A26912 | But you most unhappily chose this Instance for your quarrel, I think in the judgment of all the Land, that have read my writings? |
| A26912 | But, O brother, how injurious a Course is this that you take? |
| A26912 | But, brother, doth every one reproach you, that telleth you of your danger, and would save you from infidelity and hell? |
| A26912 | But, if indeed I was as guilty as you mention, why is it in me a most unbecoming practice, to blame that which you think I did occasion? |
| A26912 | But, saith our brother, who shall tell us what is the Universal Church? |
| A26912 | But, what spirit was that, brother, that first took up the forms and words that now we speak of? |
| A26912 | By which they little know what they wi ● ● against the interest of the Christian and Pro 〈 … 〉 nt Religion in this Land? |
| A26912 | Can I believe that this offendeth you? |
| A26912 | Can not we hold union among our selves, if some go to the publick assemblies, and some do not? |
| A26912 | Can you name any? |
| A26912 | Could I separate from all these on the reasons now in question? |
| A26912 | Could you possibly believe your self in this? |
| A26912 | Could your Reasons have conquered them, more than Mr. Ainsworths, Iohnsons, or Cannes? |
| A26912 | Cromwell to Maximus, and whether I dedicated a flattering Book to his Son? |
| A26912 | DOth not the Covenant make it now unlawful, to hold Communion in the use of the Liturgie? |
| A26912 | Dare you or any man, not blinded and hardened, justifie all this? |
| A26912 | Did I ever lay so heavy a charge on you? |
| A26912 | Did I ever perswade you to think well of the faults of other men, while I perswaded you to love their persons? |
| A26912 | Did I ever say that it is unlawful to have Communion with you, as you say it is to have Communion with others? |
| A26912 | Did I not put prayer first, and other means next? |
| A26912 | Did I speak one word of the principality, or which was the principal way? |
| A26912 | Did ever any man put such points of high speculation to the Major vote? |
| A26912 | Did ever man read the histories of the Schismes and Heresies of the Churches, and not find out this Cause, this old, this ordinary Cause? |
| A26912 | Did not Pauls carnal Corinthians, and Lgeal Galatians go astray one after another? |
| A26912 | Did you ever read any sober Writer of another mind? |
| A26912 | Did you never before hear it done by others? |
| A26912 | Did you never read any man that warned others to avoid these sins and errors? |
| A26912 | Did you never read how common the high place- worship was even under godly Kings? |
| A26912 | Did you never read of Christs rebuke of his Disciples for their hardness of heart, their ignorance, their striving who should be greatest? |
| A26912 | Did you not know this? |
| A26912 | Do I need to cite you an hundred Texts in which this sinning, straying inclination is charged upon honest men? |
| A26912 | Do not all the Peripateticks say the same of Aristotle in Philosophy? |
| A26912 | Do not the Protestants say so of Calvin, as to all that went before him? |
| A26912 | Do not the Ramists say so of Ramus? |
| A26912 | Do not the Sectaries think that the Presbyterians did or would have persecuted them? |
| A26912 | Do not the multitudes of Sects and Errors, and Contentions that have torn the Church from the Apostles daies till now prove it? |
| A26912 | Do we not know it? |
| A26912 | Do you desire their Repentance and humiliation whose faults you would have concealed? |
| A26912 | Do you dislike adding to God''s word, and will you adde to it so boldly, as to say, he hateth that which he never once forbad? |
| A26912 | Do you know as much as Twisse or Bradwardine for all the Scriptures are plain? |
| A26912 | Do you not believe that also? |
| A26912 | Do you not believe that to be true? |
| A26912 | Do you not here tell us, that how bad soever you shall say of us, you never do or can say bad enough? |
| A26912 | Do you not see that here you seem to deny what you said so confidently in the last Exception? |
| A26912 | Do you not take all that you say against me( or some part at least) to be plain and full, and to be Christian sense and reason? |
| A26912 | Do you not tell the world here the reason why you write so vehemently against my Principles of Love? |
| A26912 | Do you not think that I am Ignorant and Injudicious? |
| A26912 | Do you not think your self, that multitudes of Conformists, yea Ministers are Ignorant and Injudicious? |
| A26912 | Do you not yet perceive that you also have a silencing spirit? |
| A26912 | Do you not your selves condemn a Carnal state? |
| A26912 | Do you think all that is done in one land, or one age, or by one Army, is one War? |
| A26912 | Do you think that Christs body needed not created means? |
| A26912 | Do you think that Christs humane nature was not a Creature? |
| A26912 | Do you think that all Creatures are not Dependant on the Creator? |
| A26912 | Do you think we know the sincere from hypocrites? |
| A26912 | Do you use in publick humiliations to confess this ignorance of Professors or not? |
| A26912 | Do you well to intimate that I say the contrary? |
| A26912 | Do you well, brother, to trouble the World at this rate of discourse? |
| A26912 | Doth it follow that because lawful separation is not from the same uncharitable spirit, that persecution is, therefore unlawful separation is not? |
| A26912 | Doth it follow, that only the ablest of all these may be joyned with, because that all the rest do worse? |
| A26912 | Doth it forbid us to Repent of sin, or to perswade our brethren to repent? |
| A26912 | Doth not Dr. Twisse say the like of Bradwardine and of Piscator? |
| A26912 | Doth not judgment begin with us? |
| A26912 | Doth not the Covenant make it now unlawfull? |
| A26912 | Doth not the second Commandment and Gods oft expressed jealousie in the matters of his Worship, make it a sin to communicate in the Liturgie? |
| A26912 | Doubtless they may have the spirit then: If not, where is it that you will set the bounds? |
| A26912 | Enquire whether this be true or not? |
| A26912 | Even when they contradicted, yea, killed one another? |
| A26912 | False Worship distinguished and opened: Whether I speak very little against persecution? |
| A26912 | First upon eleven members; next upon the greater part of the house; and lastly upon the remainder? |
| A26912 | For what can be more done to make men despise the word, than to teach them to despise or abhor the Preacher? |
| A26912 | For what follows in justification of his unwarrantable conceit exceeds all bounds of sobriety, — whither will not Pride and overweening carry a man? |
| A26912 | For when they see so many, they say, How can I tell that this or that is in the right, rather than the other? |
| A26912 | Go to their meetings, and see if they so far separate, as to forbid you? |
| A26912 | Have I not read it many books of Experiences? |
| A26912 | Have most or many of the Separation said more against severities than I have done? |
| A26912 | Have not I heard it with these ears from multitudes in melancholy and other weakness that have perverted the Texts which they alledged? |
| A26912 | Have yee your hearts yet hardened? |
| A26912 | Have you more and plainer texts of Scripture agninst the Common Prayer than all these are? |
| A26912 | Have you or any of your party, done so much to have stopt that cause of divisions which you accuse, as I have done? |
| A26912 | Having eyes see yee not? |
| A26912 | He addeth[ If this be not to sit in the Chair of Scorners, what is?] |
| A26912 | He is called a Tyrant, because he was a Usurper; And do you think that Cromwell was not so; when he pull''d down both King, Parliament, and Rump? |
| A26912 | How commonly are they against the Quakers, and the Familists, and the Infidels, and Heathens, and( with us) the Papists? |
| A26912 | How do you reflect on God that forbiddeth us, to forsake the assembling of our selves together? |
| A26912 | How few separated Churches do now exist, that were in being an hundred years ago? |
| A26912 | How few separated Churches know you on earth, that have no Covetous person or railer? |
| A26912 | How know you that they were never present at any such as Paul reproveth in the Corinthians? |
| A26912 | How many meditations and prayers are used before any holy flame appeareth? |
| A26912 | How much more insolent a Charge is this? |
| A26912 | How openly and fully have we declared our utter dissent from the things which you suppose that we shall countenance them in? |
| A26912 | How sad is it to read in Ho ● nius, Salmasius and others abroad, such horrid descriptions of the English sects and scandals? |
| A26912 | How then shall we repent? |
| A26912 | I appeal to almost all the disagreeing disputers of this and every age, whether they charge not one another with it? |
| A26912 | I appeal to any judicious man, whether he find not the judicious even among good Christians; yea, and Ministers to be, alas, too rare? |
| A26912 | I appeal to most Parishes in England, whether many of the people charge not their Ministers themselves with it? |
| A26912 | I appeal to the experience of all Masters of Families, whether they meet with no such Christians there? |
| A26912 | I appeal to the experience of every self- knowing Christian, whether he find not abundance of dulness, ignorance and injudiciousness in himself? |
| A26912 | I appeal to the prayers of almost all Christians, whether they charge not themselves with this to God? |
| A26912 | I beseech you, brother, preach not the contrary whatever you think, lest you justifie the silencers, while you blame them? |

| A26912 | or which of them do you mean? |
| A26912 | or yet have need to be instructed against it? |
| A26912 | should you be so impatient as not to bear with one that in such an opinion differeth from you? |
| A26912 | was I ever thought to be kinder to them than to you? |
| A26912 | when as our writings upon the same subjects shew that we are far in that below them? |
| A26912 | which of them can say that, about Episcopacy, as Gersom, Bucer, Didoclaue, Blondell, Salmasius have done? |
| A26912 | who dare say so? |
| A26912 | yea, and all the non- Conformists that used and joyned in the Liturgie? |
| A26865 | ( And is it a sign of covetousness, to dye for what they hold?) |
| A26865 | 20. even when Rulers were against it? |
| A26865 | 3. Who knoweth not that such accusing inferences are usually brought by all factious, quarrel some Divines against their adversaries? |
| A26865 | 3. where mutual forbearances, and Receiving dissenters is commanded, against both Censurers and Despisers? |
| A26865 | 4. Who are those dozen men? |
| A26865 | A rare example; that a man should be known standing at a bar, shackled in bolts( but quaere quo jure?) |
| A26865 | Again I ask, Is there any Oath that you dare not take? |
| A26865 | And Conscience discerning duty to God, is it that is here to be orderly distinguished from Conscience discerning duty to man? |
| A26865 | And are all these Writings no evidence of their judgments? |
| A26865 | And are we like to win Souls on such terms as these? |
| A26865 | And are you sure you can go along with them in all as far as they will go? |
| A26865 | And being asked what God the Son was? |
| A26865 | And being asked what the Holy Ghost was? |
| A26865 | And can we speak louder than by the Press? |
| A26865 | And did not almost all the people of the Land Conform before the Wars? |
| A26865 | And did not the Papists so by the Reformers? |
| A26865 | And did we ever dream that no Sectary is moved by Pride to Nonconformity? |
| A26865 | And did you ever consider what a work it is to bring many thousands or hundreds of those in a Parish, unto solid understanding? |
| A26865 | And do you never give God thanks for his grace of Sanctification your selves? |
| A26865 | And do you not know what they will say and think of you upon such observations? |
| A26865 | And do you think it desirable to comply and embody with them in such a schism and factious combination against all the rest of the Churches of God? |
| A26865 | And doth he think that we get more now than a Bishoprick or Deanery would have amounted to? |
| A26865 | And doth not the prosecution of the Nonconformists tell it us? |
| A26865 | And doubtless some one must first Elect him to be a Bishop indeterminately? |
| A26865 | And either the unjust silencing of Ministers by the Usurpers, was well done, or ill done? |
| A26865 | And even in Doctrinals( which are more than Ceremonies) you know what a notorious difference there is among your selves? |
| A26865 | And from whom else would you save the people? |
| A26865 | And had it been otherwise, what were our thoughts to 2000 men that were absent? |
| A26865 | And have the people no sense, nor acquaintance with the persons? |
| A26865 | And here also I ask, Would you do so your selves? |
| A26865 | And how do these charges of a loose doctrine and great seeming sanctity, well agree? |
| A26865 | And how do your scruples engage you thus to break the Laws? |
| A26865 | And how have you cured all that ignorance of the people which you lament? |
| A26865 | And how knoweth he that it is but a shew? |
| A26865 | And how knoweth he that knoweth not hearts, that this is but seeming? |
| A26865 | And how shall we hear without a Preacher? |
| A26865 | And how shew we that we are Wolves? |
| A26865 | And how will these things appear in the review, when you shall stand in that more clear convincing light? |
| A26865 | And if all this be so, what is here left for Pride to work upon? |
| A26865 | And if deliberately you will venture on such a cause your selves, what would you wish the silenced Ministers to do? |
| A26865 | And if he may judg that there shall be no preaching, then why not that there shall be no praying and worshipping God? |
| A26865 | And if so in London, why not in other places? |
| A26865 | And in good sadness, doth not England know that( call them what you will) the Divines commissioned by the King did give their reasons against more? |
| A26865 | And indeed is not your Religion the same with ours? |
| A26865 | And indeed, is it because the Articles are not intelligible? |
| A26865 | And is it indeed to preserve your honour, that we must undergo all these convulsions? |
| A26865 | And is it not fine reasoning to say, If a man must be the discerner of his duty to God and the King, he can be no good subject? |
| A26865 | And is it not smattering ignorant half- wited Christians which your selves much complain of, and which make most of the trouble in the world? |
| A26865 | And is not all this yet enough? |
| A26865 | And is not both better than one? |
| A26865 | And is this casting them out of the Church? |
| A26865 | And is this kind of scandal, think you, which consisteth in tempting, ensnaring and damning men, regardable or not? |
| A26865 | And is this the happiest Unity that you might attain? |
| A26865 | And is this true? |
| A26865 | And it being no part of the old Conformity, how could this be put into their heads by me? |
| A26865 | And it is meet that the Colledg that can best judg, be the discerners who shall be a Licensed Physician? |
| A26865 | And might not you be as largely characterized as a stubborn unquiet people, as we are by you now? |
| A26865 | And must not our light so shine before men( though not for their applause), that they may see our good works, and glorifie God? |
| A26865 | And must such abundance be silenced for the opinions of a few, whom they never signified any consent to? |
| A26865 | And now, Reader, what a shake doth this instance give to the credit of History, at least such as is written by interessed factious men? |
| A26865 | And seeing we are accounted the Pharisees, Come on, and let us recite the Pharisees Character, and see who is likest him? |
| A26865 | And shall we incur all this guilt by ceasing for nothing, yea even now while we are licensed by the King? |
| A26865 | And shall we then be guilty of suppressing it at home? |
| A26865 | And then what Councellors, Judges and Justices shall he have? |
| A26865 | And then, what if three Bishops Consecrate one, and three another, and three another, over one Diocess? |
| A26865 | And we will not desire you to execute the Laws as seldom on us, as they are executed on them; which is not, I think, for one Oath of Twenty thousand? |
| A26865 | And were it not as easie then to declaim against your Disobedience and Nonconformity, as it is now for you to do it against ours? |
| A26865 | And what doeth renouncing the Covenant concern the people,& c? |
| A26865 | And what get we by so doing? |
| A26865 | And what if a child be uncrossed, when the Parents so desire it, or done by another when they desire it? |
| A26865 | And what if such principles and practices would make us guilty of the Perjury and impenitence of many hundred thousand persons? |
| A26865 | And what is it that those do who subscribe the same doctrine with you, to make other men heterodox? |
| A26865 | And what is one Minister in a Parish for the doing of all this work? |
| A26865 | And what is the credit for which their pride doth seduce them? |
| A26865 | And what is the matter of the Debaters Dialogues to any of this? |
| A26865 | And what is this to the case of the many hundred Nonconformable Ministers in England? |
| A26865 | And what now is the hurt that these Scripture primitive terms would bring? |
| A26865 | And what reason have we to maintain and breed up men to use us as he hath done in his late Treatise? |
| A26865 | And what stricter Laws would you have both for banishment and death, than is made here against the Romish Priests? |
| A26865 | And what will this come to at last? |
| A26865 | And what worse do the Separatists do by you, as to communion? |
| A26865 | And when he was asked what he thought would become of his soul? |
| A26865 | And which side hath the most serious, religious sort of persons? |
| A26865 | And who shall compensate the Kings damage? |
| A26865 | And why doth he now suffer so much obloquy and displeasure from the separating part of the Nonconformists, if it be reputation that he stuck upon? |
| A26865 | And why doth not a far stronger worldly interest more prevail with us? |
| A26865 | And why might not Crossing be under the like liberty? |
| A26865 | And why might they not now have more if they could conform? |
| A26865 | And why should any men use a means that will subvert, and will never attain his ends? |
| A26865 | And why then should not their Assemblies take the fittest time of the day as well as yours? |
| A26865 | And why? |
| A26865 | And will not the long experience of so great a Church, do something to convince you of your mistake? |
| A26865 | And will you prove wiser and better than the Apostles at the last? |
| A26865 | Are 1800 or 2000 men accusable upon the account of four mens secret thoughts? |
| A26865 | Are Presbyterians so intollerable a sort of people? |
| A26865 | Are all men so proud and void of humanity and love, that they must needs be factious if they do but differ in an opinion or ceremony from others? |
| A26865 | Are not the Laws in Power, and Judges to execute them against any that shall speak or do disloyally? |
| A26865 | Are not you and we agreed that God is the chief Ruler, and to be first obeyed, and no man against him, but only under him? |
| A26865 | Are such mouths fit to call others Fire- brands? |
| A26865 | Are the Conformists more Godly or Holy, than all the ignorant, drunken, unchast, voluptuous, carnal rabble, or are they not? |
| A26865 | Are the bishops absolute Judges, or not? |
| A26865 | Are the two or three that you named, the major part of Eighteen hundred? |
| A26865 | Are they all the Bishops of that Diocess? |
| A26865 | Are they any Bishops whatever, or some in special above the rest? |
| A26865 | Are they hot to one, and cold to another? |
| A26865 | Are they like to be better that shew no zeal? |
| A26865 | Are they not men of strange facinating power, that could make 1800 such Ministers( distant in all Counties) to deny Conformity? |
| A26865 | Are they therefore wholly disobliged as to each other? |
| A26865 | Are those that suffer, and do so much for that which they think to be the truth of Christ, well charged with hating Christ? |
| A26865 | Are we grown better and wiser now than the Churches all were for 600 years? |
| A26865 | Are we worse than petty thieves? |
| A26865 | Are you humble men, and teachers of humility? |
| A26865 | Are you penitent men, and Preachers of Repentance? |
| A26865 | Are you willing to run all that danger for us? |
| A26865 | Articles and the Book of Homilies? |
| A26865 | As I said already, who would have thought that enow should have escaped Queen Maries Bonefires to have planted a Protestant Church so soon? |
| A26865 | Ay, but what then must we hear and bear from such as you, when we wonder that any of you can doubt of the unlawfulness of what we refuse? |
| A26865 | B. Lauds life, and you would make it impossible? |
| A26865 | But 1. did he not know our advantage in Learning then was a great cause of the success of the Reformation in Luthers days? |
| A26865 | But I pray you forget not( for here it concerneth you esse memores) what a few contemptible people you think it is whose applause doth byas us? |
| A26865 | But are you sure that you mistake not, to the injury of the sufferers? |
| A26865 | But by what Act is this application? |
| A26865 | But how notoriously do bad means overthrow the ends of them that use them? |
| A26865 | But if you do, then there remaineth no more controversie, whether our Ministerial helps be needful? |
| A26865 | But if you do, why is there not need of the help of such as have more skill for such a work? |
| A26865 | But is it so in London now? |
| A26865 | But is this also the case of those that succeeded them? |
| A26865 | But it may be you will say, that the Nonconformists must be judged of, not by an odd person as your self is, but by the major part? |
| A26865 | But many of the Parish- churches are half empty? |
| A26865 | But must I forgive enemies, and not friends? |
| A26865 | But were no worse men suffered? |
| A26865 | But what divisions and heresies shall we have if all the people shall chuse their Pastors? |
| A26865 | But what escape is possible from such Accusers? |
| A26865 | But what excellent Preaching or Labours have you to boast of more than others, that your Preaching must be thought so necessary? |
| A26865 | But what if Perjury prove a greater sin, than not conforming to it? |
| A26865 | But what if it prove otherwise, and that we must be judged as sacrilegious for alienating consecrated persons from Gods work? |
| A26865 | But what if the Rulers be against it? |
| A26865 | But what is the dependance of our calling on the Bishops( supposing them of Gods appointment)? |
| A26865 | But what wonder if Conformity by Oaths, Subscriptions, Declarations and Covenants seem lawful to Doctors of such principles as these? |
| A26865 | But when all''s done, it is not meet that any one be forced on the sick without their own consent? |
| A26865 | But who are the second determing Electors? |
| A26865 | But who be these Consecrators? |
| A26865 | But who can you name that came out convinced that his way was wrong? |
| A26865 | But why do I ask you such a question, when your undertaking would but shew your greater obdurateness, and neither save us nor your selves? |
| A26865 | But why do you not go preach among the Indians, or in other lands where there is more need, if liberty of Preaching be all that you desire? |
| A26865 | But why is it not as much long of your selves as of us? |
| A26865 | But why must all others needs be of your judgment? |
| A26865 | But why will you not then subscribe and swear in the words of the Law, but in your own? |
| A26865 | But with what conscience do you come into Cities, Corporations, or within five miles of them, or of your former Preachingplaces? |
| A26865 | But you chide us because we perswade them not to conformity? |
| A26865 | But you''l ask, How came those Lay- men to scruples, whom I before mentioned, if not from Ministers? |
| A26865 | But, 1. can you not distinguish, and yet be just? |
| A26865 | But, 2. as long as we let others alone with their additions, why may they not live in peace with us, and let us alone without them? |
| A26865 | Can a man believe the great things of Heaven and Hell, and preach them without great seriousness and zeal, and not play the hypocrite? |
| A26865 | Can you endure these words of Hooker? |
| A26865 | Can you perswade all Popish Priests in England, that they depose the King? |
| A26865 | Can you think of two such instance; as Dioclesian and Charles the fifth, without admiration? |
| A26865 | Cry aloud, lift up thy voice like a trumpet? |
| A26865 | Did Grotius, did your Bishop Forbes, doth your Mr. Herbert Thorndike go upon such terms with them, or not? |
| A26865 | Did Peter Heylin, or Archbishop Laud and his adherents, if Heylin belie him not, deal with the Papists on such terms as these? |
| A26865 | Did he not preach against the Rulers will? |
| A26865 | Did it not shew that you had a mind of them? |
| A26865 | Did not the Heathens do thus also by the ancient Christians, when Sects swarmed among them, and deride and accuse them for their divisions? |
| A26865 | Did the difference mentioned by Heylin between Bishop Mountague and Wren, about coming up to the Altar to communicate, make any factions? |
| A26865 | Did they not baptize decently without the Cross? |
| A26865 | Did they not pray decently without a Surplice? |
| A26865 | Did they then want any needful uniformity? |
| A26865 | Did we make those Laws against our selves? |
| A26865 | Do not his subjects bodies and lives belong to his care? |
| A26865 | Do not the Parliament and Laws tell us how they are affected? |
| A26865 | Do not the people know that we differ from you in these things, as much when we are silenced, as when we preach? |
| A26865 | Do not we teach them the saving truth? |
| A26865 | Do the Pastors themselves no better know the Parish bounds, and the peoples wants, or the worth of souls? |
| A26865 | Do they not toto& nudato pectore taelum recipire& tantum non, with great Cameron unbutton them, and cry Feri miser? |
| A26865 | Do they print and publish their professed Religion to the World? |
| A26865 | Do we contend for our selves, or for Truth, and love, and unity, and peace? |
| A26865 | Do we justifie the secret thoughts of all Nonconformists, whom we know not? |
| A26865 | Do we persecute our selves? |
| A26865 | Do you help us by drawing the people from us to your selves? |
| A26865 | Do you judg of others by your selves? |
| A26865 | Do you know that there are any, or many among us, that live after the flesh, an ungodly, sensual, worldly life? |
| A26865 | Do you know your selves, and teach the people to know themselves? |
| A26865 | Do you not tell them that their arguments and exceptions are but the same that have been answered to their predecessors long ago? |
| A26865 | Do you not think that they are more, and more honourable persons, whom our conformity would have pleased? |
| A26865 | Do you think all these are in a good and safe condition? |
| A26865 | Do you think that men can not differ from your opinions, unless we put it into their heads? |
| A26865 | Do you think the bare name of a Christian and his Baptism, will save those thousands that know not what Christianity is? |
| A26865 | Do you think verily that all these were mistaken? |
| A26865 | Doth God bid you preach just here? |
| A26865 | Doth he not here much commend the charity of those that are for the Nonconformists, before he is aware, in comparison of others? |
| A26865 | Doth the difference now between your Arminians and Calvinists, which we ordinarily hear in your own Pulpits, make such Factions? |
| A26865 | Doth the different modes of Cathedral and Parish- worship, make such Factions? |
| A26865 | Else he might judg that men shall not be saved? |
| A26865 | Et quis illos in nomine Christi dixerit Congregatos, qui hac mente unitatem quaerunt Ecclesiae? |
| A26865 | For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of a man which is in him? |
| A26865 | For whatever you say of your self, you can not but know that it is so in London, and in many other places? |
| A26865 | For you to determine that they shall be damned if the Bishop will, and then come in with a second question, Who shall answer for it? |
| A26865 | Forgive me if I ask you, whether you dare appear before God with no better a Repentance? |
| A26865 | Had Paul a soft head, in having so soft a conscience in this point? |
| A26865 | Hath he talkt with the most of us? |
| A26865 | Hath not God forbidden Kings Idolatry, Perjury, Blasphemy, Murder, Tyranny, Oppression, Adultery,& c? |
| A26865 | Hath not a Nonconformists Conscience something of the command of Christ to countenance his practice? |
| A26865 | Hath your Ministry done that which maketh the help of others needless, yea or no? |
| A26865 | Have all other faults more suitable punishments, save only those of the Ministers of Christ? |
| A26865 | Have not the Friendly Debate, and the Politician fully and unanswerably opened the folly and villany of your Religion? |
| A26865 | Have the Nonconformists so often changed their cause, that you should be put to talk of so frequent change of Laws? |
| A26865 | Have these mens souls any need of teaching? |
| A26865 | Have you ever considered and regarded, whether the Apostles ever took your course? |
| A26865 | He may judg if it become a publick Controversie, whether God shall be worshipped? |
| A26865 | Herring, Mr. Barlow, and abundance more of the old Nonconformists? |
| A26865 | How came it into their heads to think ill of Bishops, and to scruple Ceremonies, and Corporation- Oaths, but by you? |
| A26865 | How common are the sins of Sodom throughout all the Land? |
| A26865 | How contemptible doth the Novel Ecclesiastical Politician, and the Debate- maker, among many others render us? |
| A26865 | How different are mens judgments of vice and virtue? |
| A26865 | How easily then may a Papist, or an Atheist shake off all Oaths of Allegiance or Supremacy, by adding one unlawful Particle? |
| A26865 | How else could this be noted as a difference? |
| A26865 | How knoweth this man what Mr. Calamy received? |
| A26865 | How long have they suffered, not only poverty and reproach, but that silencing which they account a greater evil? |
| A26865 | How many of the Ministers were ever cast out for drunkenness, fornication, deceit, swearing, perjury, or any loose living or immorality? |
| A26865 | How small a matter is that in comparison of the want of knowledg and faith, of grace and salvation? |
| A26865 | I answer, We shall be so far united, as that they will approve of all our Religion, though we approve not of all theirs? |
| A26865 | I crave your answer containg the proof of this? |
| A26865 | I know the common answer is,[ Who is that long of, but of themselves and you?] |
| A26865 | I was hungry, and ye fed me — I was in prison, and ye visited me? |
| A26865 | If all are none of Christs, that have not his spirit, may not they give God thanks for it that have received it? |
| A26865 | If all the Decrees of General Councils were imposed on all men to be subscribed, would not thousands be Nonconformists that are now conformable? |
| A26865 | If any one thing or word which you judge unlawful to be done or subscribed, were put on you by a Law, would not you then be the Nonconformists? |
| A26865 | If any, then any wicked Bishops may make more, and undo the Church? |
| A26865 | If but few, is not Preferment rather to be got from many than from few? |
| A26865 | If it be cured, that argument for the necessity of your Preaching is gone? |
| A26865 | If it be in the Bishops power to judg that nine parts of London shall have no preaching, why may he not so judg of the other tenth part? |
| A26865 | If it have not, why should you hate assistance, or think that help will do no good? |
| A26865 | If not, let us be put in the stocks and whipt, as Paul and Silas were ▪ so we may but preach Christs Gospel? |
| A26865 | If not, punish us no worse than they are punished? |
| A26865 | If not, what Preachers, what Christians, what Men are these? |
| A26865 | If not, what are the limits of their power? |
| A26865 | If not, why do they take it for a wrong to hear of much less? |
| A26865 | If not, why should it make a Faction for one man to cross a child in Baptism, and another not? |
| A26865 | If not, why should they be angry with others for thinking of them, as they think of themselves? |
| A26865 | If not, you are strangers to the Land which you inhabit? |
| A26865 | If the bare different opinion and practice make them undervalue you, will not they think worse of you when they think you do worse? |
| A26865 | If the publick Ministers Preaching will not do it, why should yours? |
| A26865 | If the question was, Whether the owner or the Bees must be accused of the crime? |
| A26865 | If they are not cured, how can you yet think to cure them? |
| A26865 | If they are( as I doubt not but very many are), do they so esteem themselves, or not? |
| A26865 | If they do, what matter of fact can ever be so notorious, as that we can hope that such men can know it? |
| A26865 | If they have eaten sowr grapes, why must our teeth be set on edge? |
| A26865 | If yea, give over Preaching against them: If not, do not better men differ from them? |
| A26865 | If yea, you tell the world what your Religion is? |
| A26865 | If you be tollerated, why not all others as well as you? |
| A26865 | If you do, how shall a man know that you are not as very Hypocrites in so doing, as the Nonconformists? |
| A26865 | If you say, What be those means? |
| A26865 | If you should turn your charge upon the Sectaries, who hath written more against the Antinomian loose opinions, than the Nonconformists have done? |
| A26865 | If you think otherwise, why distinguish you the Sons of the Church from others? |
| A26865 | If you thought it were Lying, Perjury and false Worship which was imposed on you, would you change your judgment, by threatnings or by punishments? |
| A26865 | In good sadness would you have men have a judgment of private discerning, or not? |
| A26865 | Is Christianity so vile a thing? |
| A26865 | Is he saulty that robs your child of his hat, or book, or victuals? |
| A26865 | Is it a crime to rent your clothes, and is it none to rend your flesh? |
| A26865 | Is it a crime to steal the feathers, and none to steal the goose? |
| A26865 | Is it by Election? |
| A26865 | Is it justice to charge men with seditious Preaching that never were accused or convict of any such Doctrine before any competent Judg? |
| A26865 | Is it likely that he knoweth what he saith to be true? |
| A26865 | Is it not Words that you require as satisfactions in your Subscriptions and Oaths? |
| A26865 | Is it only Nonconformists? |
| A26865 | Is not every man as much concerned for his own soul, more than the King is, or any other, as he is for his health or life? |
| A26865 | Is not every mans free ▪ will as much and more to be exercised for his salvation as for his health? |
| A26865 | Is that foolish and seditious? |
| A26865 | Is their fearing an Oath a greater sin than prophane swearing? |
| A26865 | Is there a necessity laid on ordinary Pastors also, or not? |
| A26865 | Is there any sin much greater than that which he listeth himself a defender and practiser of? |
| A26865 | Is there any thing in the world, that you think unlawful? |
| A26865 | Is this flaming- hot Disputer so much better acquainted with us, than we are with our selves and one another? |
| A26865 | Is this long of us too? |
| A26865 | Is this the Justice of Sacred Clergy- men? |
| A26865 | It is a fine world when it is become a controversie, Whether that which so many thousands in three Kingdoms hear and see be true? |
| A26865 | It is obedience that beseemeth tender consciences: Disobedience is as the sin of witchcraft; And would you have any countenance you in so great a sin? |
| A26865 | It''s true( except Mr. Fisher and some few) they were not ejected, but enjoyed their places; And did not you as well as they? |
| A26865 | Judg but by your own experience: Do you not see that the people are yet ignorant and uncured? |
| A26865 | Let the world judge whether his testimony then of that party be not more credible than his that so little knoweth them? |
| A26865 | May they not take it for a greater mercy than all the riches of the World? |
| A26865 | Mr. Durel did you ever know either me or the man you speak of that was cast out, or ever hear or see the articles against him? |
| A26865 | Must all that differ in a ceremony from you, be silenced and hunted about the world, lest the people should think worse of you than of them? |
| A26865 | Must the Laws be changed as oft as tender heads will scruple? |
| A26865 | Nor whether to be drunk or sober? |
| A26865 | Nor whether we shall give food to him that is dying through famine? |
| A26865 | Nor whether we shall seek to save mens lives from fire or water, or other dangers? |
| A26865 | Nullane perjuri capitis, fraudisque nefandae Poena erit? |
| A26865 | O hear these expostulations of miserable Souls, before you are speechless under the Expostulations of the tender Saviour of Souls? |
| A26865 | O that he would name those many, and let us try the case? |
| A26865 | O the candor and impartiality of this age? |
| A26865 | O who should not fear what his soul may be seduced to think and say? |
| A26865 | Of all the silenced Ministers, or some? |
| A26865 | On the Bishops first Ordination? |
| A26865 | Or are we worse than drunkards, or fornicators? |
| A26865 | Or can any be ignorant that it is not so? |
| A26865 | Or can we believe that he believeth himself? |
| A26865 | Or doth it follow that Christian Rulers may not silence Ministers, because they might not? |
| A26865 | Or for the Order and Circumstances of operation? |
| A26865 | Or is it because we perswade the people to hear them( if they are but tollerable men?) |
| A26865 | Or is it because we rebuke those that vilifie them? |
| A26865 | Or on his continued Will? |
| A26865 | Or put us in the House of Correction, and use us as the Israelites were used in Egypt, rather than forbid us to labour to save the peoples Souls? |
| A26865 | Or that the Diocesan- Ministers, supprest by Cromwell, should revive to the strength that they were in, within three years after his death? |
| A26865 | Or that the desolations, which for the Interim were made among the German Ministers, should so soon be repaired? |
| A26865 | Or to steal a tile, or pick a lock, and not to burn the house? |
| A26865 | Or when a man is conscious what God forbiddeth, he may do it if man command it? |
| A26865 | Or will they forget all the difference, think you, when we are out of sight? |
| A26865 | Paul spake this of himself; but was it of himself only as extraordinarily called? |
| A26865 | Pierce but retort it on him unthankfully to his reproach, as holding too loose a doctrine? |
| A26865 | Query, Whether they were a Liturgy or not? |
| A26865 | Quid loquar de exercitio suae jurisdictionis? |
| A26865 | Quis dabit mihi homines literatos& sanctos in ecclesiis Dei praeesse Pastores, sin non in omnibus, certe in pluribus, certe in aliquibus saltem? |
| A26865 | Quisnam hominum est quem contentum videris uno Flagitio? |
| A26865 | Reader, is this the Religion taught by St. Paul? |
| A26865 | Shall Clergy- men provoke Magistrates to make such Laws as he calleth smart, and then make our sufferings to be one of our methods? |
| A26865 | Shall not the soul that sinneth dye? |
| A26865 | Shall the Physician deny his Patient that Physick which his stomack can take, because it was long of himself that he can take no other? |
| A26865 | Shall we believe his Sermons, or his profession and practice? |
| A26865 | Speak out, Do you think us or the Papists nearer to you? |
| A26865 | Suppose it be long of themselves, must their souls be therefore cruelly forsaken? |
| A26865 | Suppose that one thing were by a Law imposed on you: would you think that a change of that Law would be a dangerous thing? |
| A26865 | Suppose that one thing were imposed on you? |
| A26865 | Sure the Spirit of God foresaw what would be said against Preaching in our times; was not Timothy ordained by man? |
| A26865 | Tam ferreus ut teneat se? |
| A26865 | That it is the Bishops will that they shall rather be all damned in their ignorance and sin, than taught, converted, and saved by Nonconformists? |
| A26865 | The Churches will not hold the tenth person in the Parish; and how few Churches near* are standing? |
| A26865 | The Explication of the Nonconformists sense of it, you have much in the Assemblies Catechisms and Confession? |
| A26865 | The great question therefore, Whether none are converted but by special effectual grace? |
| A26865 | The next question then is, Whether it will make them hypocrites, and force them to go against their judgments? |
| A26865 | The question therefore is, Whose lives do most contradict their profession? |
| A26865 | The same I say of Covenants of Peace between several Princes? |
| A26865 | There is no hindering it; God will have it so, and who can gainsay him? |
| A26865 | These that you talk of were Infidel or Heathen Rulers; and will you compare our with them? |
| A26865 | This is my disease, or else what need I come to Church for cure? |
| A26865 | This may be something for your conference with them family by family; but what is it for your preaching unto Congregations? |
| A26865 | To speak to many when they can have time to hear, and to speak also to single persons when we can? |
| A26865 | To think and speak well or ill? |
| A26865 | We grant that all have need enough of Teaching: But what can your teaching do more than other mens? |
| A26865 | We were just now accused by him and another, about our deliberate refusing of Church Dignities? |
| A26865 | Were he innocent that would scourge men, women and children till they bleed, and then call out for Justice against the felons that cryed? |
| A26865 | Were not almost all the Westminster- Assembly Espiscopal conformable men, when they came thither? |
| A26865 | Were not those few sons liker to get Livings, if their fathers got favour by conforming? |
| A26865 | What History of such Writers can deserve any credit? |
| A26865 | What Nonconformist hath not groaned for our divisions, and been indeed aweary of them from the first day, and longed for our common Concord? |
| A26865 | What a case are we in with such men as these, when we must needs be proud whether we accept or refufe? |
| A26865 | What a stink hath the name of David Seton in Scotland, of Bonner of London, and Gardiner Bishop of Winchester, left behind? |
| A26865 | What are the Cups, and Fonts, and Tables for,( do they praise the glorious mystery of Redemption?) |
| A26865 | What are the Houses for, but for the convenient habitation of the Pastors? |
| A26865 | What are the Lands and Tythes for, but for their maintenance while they do the work of God? |
| A26865 | What are the Temples for, but to be the convenient places of their and the peoples worshipping of God? |
| A26865 | What are they to them? |
| A26865 | What are you then, that with your tribunals and jurisdictions would be Lords and Rulers over Christs inheritance? |
| A26865 | What changes doth Thorndike plead for? |
| A26865 | What confusion is this? |
| A26865 | What could a Separatist have said more of you? |
| A26865 | What doth he mean by talking against sin? |
| A26865 | What enemy have you so much need your selves to resist, and to be saved from, as from your selves? |
| A26865 | What false Religion do they contain? |
| A26865 | What good doth subscribing a sentence which he believeth not, do either to the soul of the lyar himself, or to the Church? |
| A26865 | What if a Popish Prince or People, put an unlawful clause into their Covenants? |
| A26865 | What if the Law imposed one word on you which you could not conform to, and you differed from the Church in nothing else? |
| A26865 | What if you kept all that Wisdom to your selves, in which you excel the Apostles, and put no more upon the Churches than they did? |
| A26865 | What if you required no Subscription to any thing as certain truth, but only to the infallible Oracles of the Spirit? |
| A26865 | What if you required no more Oaths of obedience to the Bishops, than the Apostles required to themselves, or to any Pastors of the Church? |
| A26865 | What if you would learn of the Holy Ghost to impose no other than Necessary things? |
| A26865 | What is this to all the rest? |
| A26865 | What more common with them, than to say, All these Sects swarm out from you? |
| A26865 | What more than Words is it that you would have? |
| A26865 | What of all this have you to charge on those forenamed? |
| A26865 | What say you? |
| A26865 | What scorn or derision does Bishop Reignolds now undergo, or many of your Doctors, who some were, and some reputed formerly of our mind? |
| A26865 | What then can we expect from others? |
| A26865 | What would follow on the other side, if all men must have Physicians forced on them? |
| A26865 | What would you have more than Words, and that mens Estates and Lives be answerable for their offences? |
| A26865 | When they and you thank God for the same mercy, how shall we know but by the fruits, which of you is sincere? |
| A26865 | When was it then that we were in Power? |
| A26865 | Where find they in Scripture a Bishop made, that was not made the Bishop of a particular Church? |
| A26865 | Where have I lived? |
| A26865 | Whether Princes may silence us? |
| A26865 | Whether he do well to mention our refusing of Bishopricks at all, which we our selves so studiously silence? |
| A26865 | Whether the King is not as truly the Governour of his subjects as to their lives, as he is as to their Salvation? |
| A26865 | Whether this be a good proof that it was not Conscience, but Interest that these men stuck upon? |
| A26865 | Which doth the world among us take for the plainer dealers? |
| A26865 | Which side are the generality of the Blasphemers, Whoremongers, Drunkards, and Debauched persons on? |
| A26865 | Which side hath( generally) the strictest followers? |
| A26865 | Who can repent of hating and destroying so odious a sort of hypocrites as he describeth? |
| A26865 | Who cry out against Sects so much as the Papists? |
| A26865 | Who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered? |
| A26865 | Who that is able would not rather with Paul get their bread by some labour, than fordidly live on a barren and backward sort of charity? |
| A26865 | Who will defend such a monster in War against his enemies, when no enemy can bring them into greater slavery? |
| A26865 | Who will set the bryars and thorns against him in battel? |
| A26865 | Whom do you speak this of? |
| A26865 | Whom is it that we cry up for Saints? |
| A26865 | Why are we censured for preaching against mens sins, if we are flatterers? |
| A26865 | Why are you not more tender of offending and disobeying your Governours? |
| A26865 | Why did you demur so long before you refused Preferments? |
| A26865 | Why did you never charge us with errors in Doctrine? |
| A26865 | Why do the people make such a difference between conformable Preachers as they do? |
| A26865 | Why do they honour and crowd after one, and slight another? |
| A26865 | Why do they not do the rest? |
| A26865 | Why do you not go preach among the Indians? |
| A26865 | Why do your party tell him that he is more calumniated by the Nonconformists, than by any others? |
| A26865 | Why must our Souls be left to damnation, because our Teachers think that a sin, which you think you your selves have made a duty? |
| A26865 | Why not all tolerated as well as you, and so let in Popery? |
| A26865 | Why then do we so much desire to be out of this state, and to take up with reformed Parish- interest? |
| A26865 | Why wrote you not to prove them to be another Religion? |
| A26865 | Will ever Church on Earth have Concord on these terms? |
| A26865 | Will he not go through them, and burn them up together? |
| A26865 | Will imprisonment or banishment make us agreed, or make the people think we are agreed? |
| A26865 | Will no experience teach you such easie and obvious things? |
| A26865 | Will not all sober by- standers think that we have very hard measure, and have to do with a strange generation? |
| A26865 | Will not even strangers from such words suspect that our adversaries own not, or have not at least so much as such a seeming sanctity of carriage? |
| A26865 | Will not the Salvation or damnation be his own? |
| A26865 | Will they not distast a Conformable man, whom they judg an envious persecutor, more than a Conformable man whom they judg a meek and loving man? |
| A26865 | Will you do nothing to help the people to Heaven, but that which is lyable to no abuse, or inconvenience? |
| A26865 | Will you give us leave openly to tell the people where our controversie lyeth? |
| A26865 | Will you say, Eat this or famish, it is long of your selves? |
| A26865 | Will you therefore think you are discharged from Preaching? |
| A26865 | Would he have us not so much as seem holy( and so not seem Christians) that we may escape such censures? |
| A26865 | Would it not be a greater prey for covetousness for both Father and Son by conforming to have Livings, than for the Son alone? |
| A26865 | Would the inconveniences of this weigh down the mischiefs which are now upon the Churches throughout the world by the contrary course? |
| A26865 | Would you do that which you think to be Lying, Perjury, renouncing Reformation,& c. against your consciences, rather than suffer? |
| A26865 | Would you have taken the rescinding of all these Laws for a dangerous change? |
| A26865 | Would you not say that a difference should be made? |
| A26865 | Yea, for 1800 Ministers to have Livings, than 40 or 50 of their sons alone? |
| A26865 | Yea, how many new Doctrines hath Mr. Thorndike published, and yet his Ministry is tollerable? |
| A26865 | Yea, those that declared themselves to be against it? |
| A26865 | Yet here you may as handsomely exclaim, What? |
| A26865 | You think so highly of your selves, as if men can not be saved unless they be taught by you? |
| A26865 | You think we should grant you leave to Preach; but what leave did you give us when you were in power? |
| A26865 | and as guilty of the blood of all those souls that have perished by our silence and neglect? |
| A26865 | and can you yet for shame desire leave to preach and propagate such a Religion as that? |
| A26865 | and encourage the people in their Separations? |
| A26865 | and how contrary is it to the rest of their Accusations? |
| A26865 | and how unhappy will they find themselves at last? |
| A26865 | and if all the rest conformed too? |
| A26865 | and is he innocent that killeth him, or that robs you of your child? |
| A26865 | and is not the exception a prophane scorn of Christ? |
| A26865 | and is this so necessary a thing? |
| A26865 | and see also whether they are a considerable number? |
| A26865 | and so whether there shall be any Gospel, Religion, or Salvation? |
| A26865 | and so, whether there shall be a Ministry? |
| A26865 | and that consequently this is the chief reason that 1800 men subscribed not? |
| A26865 | and whether the Churches Lights be not put under a bushel? |
| A26865 | and whether they are snuffed or put out? |
| A26865 | and which party for the more smooth and toothless Preachers? |
| A26865 | and why doth he not name them, and prove his charge? |
| A26865 | and will you measure and denominate the Religion of the Nonconformists ▪ by two or three mens Writings( against which also you have no more to say)? |
| A26865 | and would you exclaim against it as now you do? |
| A26865 | and yet who in all the world more cause them, even by the manifold Laws by which they pretend to cure them? |
| A26865 | any thing that in Gods worship you durst not use? |
| A26865 | any thing that you dare not subscribe to and declare? |
| A26865 | chaste or unchaste? |
| A26865 | how many sins of theirs and ours have had a hand in this calamity? |
| A26865 | nor friends from foes? |
| A26865 | nor their sufferings neither? |
| A26865 | of most, or few? |
| A26865 | or any also by that which in its own nature is meerly sufficient, and made effectual by mans will? |
| A26865 | or by another Consecration? |
| A26865 | or for the first 300 either? |
| A26865 | or have the most ever said or written, that it is only the Covenant that we stick at? |
| A26865 | or have they contrary meanings to fit the use of every subscriber? |
| A26865 | or how? |
| A26865 | or on Mr. John Ball, Mr. John Paget, Mr. Langley,& c. or on Dr. Twisse, Dr. Arrowsmith, and the rest of that Assembly? |
| A26865 | or so many as is necessary to mens Salvation? |
| A26865 | or that they can endure to see none live at liberty out of Gaols, that be not in all such things of their mind? |
| A26865 | or that they can not live in love and peace with any that differ from them in an opinion or ceremony? |
| A26865 | or those be of your way that are not of your judgment? |
| A26865 | or those that live in enmity, contempt or neglect of the Laws of Christ? |
| A26865 | or what Religion we should be of, Christians or Infidels? |
| A26865 | or what get they by it? |
| A26865 | or what to preach on? |
| A26865 | or which? |
| A26865 | or would you not? |
| A26865 | quando recepit Ejectum semel attrita de fronte ruborem? |
| A26865 | shall every woman, every boy, every sottish rustick and tradesman, have liberty to put his life into the hands of women or foolish Empericks? |
| A26865 | that so many thousand Souls must pay so dear, for a few mens experience? |
| A26865 | then men must not discern whether to preach or be silent? |
| A26865 | what answer would you give to such an Objection as this, which equally excludeth Chillingworth and Knot? |
| A26865 | what murdering of men by medicine shall we then have? |
| A26865 | what not the innocent from the guilty? |
| A26865 | where are any more against Bishops and Conformity than your hearers? |
| A26865 | whether God should be honoured or blasphemed? |
| A26865 | whether Ministers shall preach in his Dominions? |
| A26865 | whether he may be blasphemed? |
| A26865 | whether the Scripture be Gods word? |
| A26865 | whether there be a life to come? |
| A26865 | who having proposed this doubt, Why did many of them deliberate so long whether they should accept of Dignities in the Church? |
| A26865 | would this answer seem wise and honest to your selves, if you did but see the things you hear of? |
| A26865 | would you Conform to it or not? |
| A26865 | yea a sin meet for none but utterly debauched Consciences, and such as threatneth dreadful ruine? |
| A26865 | yea what a reproach to humane nature? |
| A26865 | yea, and do to this day? |
| A26865 | yea, or can we expect that God should bless our labours, when we offer him Lying, Perjury,& c. for a sacrifice, and so blaspheme him? |
| A26865 | yea, or his poor Curate, if he have one( as few have) for his help? |
| A27035 | & c. 23. Who maketh National Churches in absolute Hereditary Monarchies, where are no Parliaments to signifie popular consent? |
| A27035 | & c.[ Must a man quit his just right because some dislike it? |
| A27035 | ( By the way, do either Synods or People( the old chusers) chuse our Bishops or Priests?) |
| A27035 | ( Saith he) I say because it was received by the common consent of the whole Nation in Parliament, as other Laws of the Nation are?] |
| A27035 | 1. Who is supposed so fit to judge as men and Seniors of the same Office? |
| A27035 | 1200? |
| A27035 | A man that knoweth what to say can speak it when the ignorant can not? |
| A27035 | All, or some? |
| A27035 | And am I so tyed? |
| A27035 | And are not all these Offenders still Members of your Church? |
| A27035 | And are we not agreed that this is a real and most excellent Political Church ▪ and that all other Visible Churches are parts of it? |
| A27035 | And as to Convocation consent, how binds it all those that never consented to them? |
| A27035 | And can any Christian deny either of these? |
| A27035 | And did not the Doctor think I needed help by such Citations? |
| A27035 | And do the certain Doctrines of the Gospel and Church set up the Pope? |
| A27035 | And do you not seem to prevaricate and highly honour the Jesuits, on pretence of dishonoring Spiritual prayer? |
| A27035 | And doth any of this disprove the peoples consenting right? |
| A27035 | And doth any thing else make them formally One Politick body or Church? |
| A27035 | And doth not all this confirm what I plead for, as to the Peoples, Synods and Princes several parts? |
| A27035 | And doth the Doctor think that the judgment of all parties is not as sure as of one alone? |
| A27035 | And doth this meddle with the peoples Recipient power? |
| A27035 | And for Grotius, I have over and over cited his own words, and shall not now repeat them: And was this the drift of Conformity of old? |
| A27035 | And for what are they maintained by Tythes, Glebe, and all the dignities, honours and wealth they have? |
| A27035 | And for what do men so much contend for them? |
| A27035 | And had his mistake no Occasion? |
| A27035 | And have you now said more against me or your self? |
| A27035 | And he will make us a hard task of it, to know when the Priest speaks as God''s Minister, and when as the peoples Minister or mouth? |
| A27035 | And he wisely overlooketh the Question, who chose those Pres byters that were the chusers of the Bishop? |
| A27035 | And his arguing that it is unlawful to preach to them because it is unlawful to hear; What was the meaning of all this if not silencing us? |
| A27035 | And how else do you justifie the Church of England against the Papists charge of Schism? |
| A27035 | And how great were their Churches then? |
| A27035 | And how shall we know which of them to believe? |
| A27035 | And how should I disown his rashness better than to write what I wrote against him, and say what I said to him? |
| A27035 | And if Christ made no such, whether men may make them? |
| A27035 | And if any other Churches neglect themselves, what reason is it that the rest should? |
| A27035 | And if it be by Parliament consent, how old is your Church? |
| A27035 | And if it prove so, whether they should all either have sinned or been silent in obedience? |
| A27035 | And if shortly after the King had Licensed them to assemble and Preach, would they have refused it as a sin? |
| A27035 | And if so why might not I at once be judged a Member of two Churches at once, so far as I communicate oft with both? |
| A27035 | And if so, How long it hath been their judgment? |
| A27035 | And if so, what are these superior Pastoral Churches, wh ● ther Diocesan, Provincial, National, Patriarchal, Papal, or all? |
| A27035 | And is any word of all this true? |
| A27035 | And is he a Pastor to such men that refuse all this? |
| A27035 | And is it by your bare authority that they must so judge? |
| A27035 | And is it not lawful for Parents to enter their own Children at Baptism in Covenant with God? |
| A27035 | And is it possible that such a man should dissent in this? |
| A27035 | And is not all this in ours? |
| A27035 | And is not my case the same? |
| A27035 | And is not that as faulty as for Dr. Moulin too much to blame you? |
| A27035 | And is not this more than Dr. Moulin did? |
| A27035 | And is not this to judge whether he be a Heretick,& c. or not? |
| A27035 | And is not this true? |
| A27035 | And is the disputing of a question falsly stated of any profit? |
| A27035 | And shall he that refuseth Communion chuse one to give it others, because he hath a Soul himself? |
| A27035 | And to forbear silencing, excommunicating, fining and imprisoning us? |
| A27035 | And to whom this Family Government most belongeth? |
| A27035 | And was not his fear of the disagreement of the Clergy? |
| A27035 | And were then no more Churches that had governing Pastors? |
| A27035 | And what a Case is the Church of England in, that hath still so many Ministers that pray as the Jesuits Disciples? |
| A27035 | And what a Church was it that made the Canons against them on that supposition? |
| A27035 | And what a dangerous invention is it to say that the Minister here speaketh not from Christ but the Church, in receiving in those dedicated to him? |
| A27035 | And what did Austin but perswade them to consent? |
| A27035 | And what if the name of Government or the Keys had been put in, when it is denyed in its essential part? |
| A27035 | And what is all this to our case of total and peremptory exclusion? |
| A27035 | And what is all this to the many thousand Noncommunicants, who quietly remain members of your Churches? |
| A27035 | And what is it of[ Worship established by Law] that individuates your Church? |
| A27035 | And what then becomes of its Laws, and all the Treatises of its Church- Policy? |
| A27035 | And what''s this to the Case the Peoples election or consent? |
| A27035 | And whether he hath not instituted an office to judge of this and by Government execute it? |
| A27035 | And which be those Seats? |
| A27035 | And who but Philosophers judge of Graduates and Professours in Philosophy? |
| A27035 | And who can find any Answer to this? |
| A27035 | And who doubts but a great General Council had the greatest power then? |
| A27035 | And who gave it them? |
| A27035 | And who knoweth then who are of their Church? |
| A27035 | And who shall judge whether the disagreement be in Substantials? |
| A27035 | And why Father and Mother rather than Prince and Priests are named in the Fifth Commandment? |
| A27035 | And why doth he mention that the People consented and received him, if they had no consenting Vote, or right on just cause to dissent? |
| A27035 | And why else was the peoples resistance feared? |
| A27035 | And yet they shall judge and choose for themselves, and speed accordingly, who can help it? |
| A27035 | And you that praise his death- bed repentance, should not Characterize him by failings twenty years repented of? |
| A27035 | And, is that according to God''s word? |
| A27035 | Are all these no difference of case? |
| A27035 | Are none of them true Churches in sensu politico? |
| A27035 | Are not you the Author of the Defence of B. Laud, and say, That Christ gave the Keys to Peter as the representative of the whole Church? |
| A27035 | Are the benefits so bestowed no Graoe? |
| A27035 | Are there none in all the same Books he citeth? |
| A27035 | Are they such circumstances before named: Oaths, Declarations, Subscriptions, Doctrine,& c? |
| A27035 | Are we looser than Pope Nicholas that forbad men to hear Mass from a Fornicating Pricst? |
| A27035 | Are you loth to be understood? |
| A27035 | As if our question had not been, Which is the Regent part of the Church of England? |
| A27035 | As if the common Souldiers and not the Generals were the cause of the War? |
| A27035 | As if the same effect might not, yea must not have a Suprior and Inferior Cause? |
| A27035 | As to Beza''s Letter, have not I said more against Separation than he doth? |
| A27035 | As to his question, Was there less necessity then or now? |
| A27035 | Aud why do you make such a stir with Separatists to bring them to your Churches? |
| A27035 | But 1. he proveth that they were all of that mind, by citing four of their Books against Brownists; and were four or forty times four, all? |
| A27035 | But I appeal to the reason and humanity of mankind, into what hands the silenced and persecuted Ministers are fallen? |
| A27035 | But I would ask the Dean himself, whether a man may not be a fixed Member of two or three Churches at once? |
| A27035 | But are these Laws good that forbid it? |
| A27035 | But are they not excommunicate then, before they are so oft denounced, yea or at all, as far as aforesaid? |
| A27035 | But asketh[ whence cometh all this zeal now against a National Church?] |
| A27035 | But did they deny that which all the Christian World confesseth? |
| A27035 | But do you not say also to the Presbyters Receive the Holy Ghost? |
| A27035 | But doth he in all his Book do any thing to satisfie any mans Conscience, that would know from what Churches he may or may not separate? |
| A27035 | But doth not the Doctor thus grievously accuse the Church which he would defend? |
| A27035 | But doth not this make the people Judges whether Princes and Parliaments are Orthodox, and is not that as dangerous as to judge of the Teachers? |
| A27035 | But how comes that Church to command and bind, which hath no such Ruling power? |
| A27035 | But how fallaciously is this urged? |
| A27035 | But how shall we know whether we agree or not, if we are no judges of it? |
| A27035 | But in what common things? |
| A27035 | But is not my inference necessary? |
| A27035 | But it''s intimated, that this was because we agreed in other things? |
| A27035 | But may not the unjustly excommunicate that can not on just terms be restored, worship God in some publick Church? |
| A27035 | But must it be otherwise? |
| A27035 | But must they not therefore be discerning Judges, who is their Landlord, Master, Husband, What Schoolmaster may not unlearned men miscensure? |
| A27035 | But put the case within your sight? |
| A27035 | But really doth he think that this doth unavoidably set up the Pope? |
| A27035 | But were good and bad Bishops in all Ages thus minded, or was it only Popes? |
| A27035 | But what Infants? |
| A27035 | But what if the Parents are bid provide such? |
| A27035 | But what need had you to say all this of Images? |
| A27035 | But what was the Altar that was taken with particular respect to the Bishop? |
| A27035 | But when( Destruction) signifieth( Damnation) it is a hard bargain? |
| A27035 | But who can reconcile this with the scope of his whole Book? |
| A27035 | By what way this National consent is to be declared? |
| A27035 | Can a man be a Pastor against his will, or that con ● enteth not, but renounceth it? |
| A27035 | Can he be a true Pastor that is uncapable of the Office? |
| A27035 | Can it be more Immediate than in the very present dedicating act, to use the sign and expressing the dedicating signification? |
| A27035 | Can they at once hold contradictions? |
| A27035 | Churches preaching? |
| A27035 | Consent to what? |
| A27035 | Could any man have so far searcht his heart as to know that he spake only against Separation in this one City? |
| A27035 | Could you judge it honest zeal had it been to others? |
| A27035 | Dare he say that all true Churches are not real parts of Christ''s Universal Church, as a Governed body? |
| A27035 | Dare he say, that all imposed must be owned? |
| A27035 | Did I say that my hearers are constant hearers in your Churches? |
| A27035 | Did he think any of this concerned me? |
| A27035 | Did he think that this is inconsistent with the opinion that they work it morally? |
| A27035 | Did not I write against his opinion of Church- Government? |
| A27035 | Did the Church at Alexandria ever after chuse their Bishops, and not before? |
| A27035 | Did the Doctor think this was to the purpose? |
| A27035 | Did the Heptarchy make England one Kingdom, when seven Kings Governed the whole by parts, but none the whole, as such? |
| A27035 | Did the Synod of D ● rt make us one with them? |
| A27035 | Did they meddle by Force, with Body or Purse? |
| A27035 | Did they not tell us then their sence? |
| A27035 | Do large Councils make many Nations one Church? |
| A27035 | Do not Nonconformists differ from Erastians? |
| A27035 | Do not all do so too, till now? |
| A27035 | Do not we now differ about the undoubted certainty of the salvation of all dying baptized Infants? |
| A27035 | Do the Clergy represent the King? |
| A27035 | Do the words suppose that which is plainly excepted in them? |
| A27035 | Do you also tell us which is your National Church- power and I have done? |
| A27035 | Do you make England in essentials any more one Church, than England and any Foreigners agreeing are one? |
| A27035 | Do you not know our Reasons? |
| A27035 | Do you not now absolve all men from the duty of obeying the Church of England a ● such, and from all guilt of disobeying them? |
| A27035 | Do you not see your own Contradictions? |
| A27035 | Do you think that there is more force in the name of a Jesuit to disgrace Spiritual prayer, or in the name of Spiritual prayer to honour the Jesuits? |
| A27035 | Doctor will you take your Oath that you are thus a true Minister?] |
| A27035 | Doth any Protestant doubt of what I assert? |
| A27035 | Doth any of us deny that the Bishops were the Ordainers of Bishops? |
| A27035 | Doth he agree with us in all the Substantials of Religion who knoweth not the very essentials of Christianity? |
| A27035 | Doth he agree with us in all the substantials that is a Heretick? |
| A27035 | Doth he any where tell us, in what cases and how far they must judge? |
| A27035 | Doth he believe that he meant that all or the twentieth part of the Nonconformists wrote or subscribed it? |
| A27035 | Doth he believe that the Kingdoms of the World are not visible parts of God''s Universal Kingdom? |
| A27035 | Doth he doubt of this? |
| A27035 | Doth he himself take any one of these for a true political Church? |
| A27035 | Doth he not confess that I own general Visitors or Archbishops and appeals? |
| A27035 | Doth he not perceive that he turneth the Controversie, from the necessity of a Regent head, to the necessity of his visibility? |
| A27035 | Doth he think that the Catholick Church consenteth not to one Governing Head, Christ? |
| A27035 | Doth he think that the Presbyters choice excludeth the Peoples when it is a known thing that the Canons and Custom constantly conjoyned them? |
| A27035 | Doth he think the Papists take the Conformists or the Nonconformists to be nearer to them and less against them? |
| A27035 | Doth it die and live again as oft as Parliaments change it? |
| A27035 | Doth none of all this difference their case and ours? |
| A27035 | Doth not Doctor Stillingfleet heavily reproach his own Church for such usuage of them? |
| A27035 | Doth not a stock of knowledge enable you to Preach without book? |
| A27035 | Doth not all this shew their mind? |
| A27035 | Doth not he pretend also in his way to declare the terms of Concord? |
| A27035 | Doth not the Doctor unhappily chuse his testimonies? |
| A27035 | Doth not this instance prove, that the Bishop had not power to chuse one of himself? |
| A27035 | Doth not this prove that their choice or consent was necessary? |
| A27035 | Doth not this shew that the people were the chusers? |
| A27035 | Doth such a wicked sentence bind men to live like Atheists till death? |
| A27035 | Doth the Dr. believe indeed that these writings signifie that the Nonconformsts of those times thought it a sin to Preach eo nomine because forbidden? |
| A27035 | Doth this Political description of Parochial, Diocesane, Provincial, Patriarchal Churches, also bring in Popery? |
| A27035 | Doth this doctrine justifie the Papists? |
| A27035 | Doth your Church require this ad esse, or but ad melius esse? |
| A27035 | Et propter hoc interrogat accedentes ad baptismum an credant? |
| A27035 | Fixed Government to a fixed Church, and transient temporary Government to an answerable Church? |
| A27035 | For what concord hath Christ and Belial? |
| A27035 | Had he meant as aforesaid, had my words been Rage, or necessary confutation? |
| A27035 | Had it not been better to have past over this Council? |
| A27035 | Had it not been requisite that you should have justified all that we stick at as unlawful, before you charge us with crossing this Rule? |
| A27035 | Had the neighbour Heathens and Hereticks of old power to chuse Bishops for the Church, while they refused to be of the Church themselves? |
| A27035 | Hath he named any? |
| A27035 | Have none of these, have not each of these a Regent Constitutive part? |
| A27035 | Have such representatives more power to express our consent than we our selves? |
| A27035 | He before saith,[ Was the Cross a dedicating sign to God, or a declarative sign to men?] |
| A27035 | He instanceth in mens censure of me for the Doctrine of Justification and asketh, Are men bound to separate from me? |
| A27035 | He is again at his talk of only occasional Communion? |
| A27035 | He motioned a Bishop to end the difference; And who opposeth that? |
| A27035 | He saith, Is our worship directed to it or may we kneel before it, as Mr. B. allows men may do before a Crucifix? |
| A27035 | He yet more pleads as for Separation[ why then above once or twice? |
| A27035 | How can men Govern that are no Governours? |
| A27035 | How come Dissenters bound by Parliament consent? |
| A27035 | How do you know that the Dr. repented not of his too hard words of you till his death- bed? |
| A27035 | How doth he prove it? |
| A27035 | How easily might he have known that we would deny the consequence? |
| A27035 | How much more say these than my[ intolerable indiscretion?] |
| A27035 | How much of this goeth to make a Separatist? |
| A27035 | How prove you that the Clergy represent the Laity in the Convocation? |
| A27035 | How shall one get all the world to be wise and good? |
| A27035 | How shall one know among all these, who are, or are not of your Church? |
| A27035 | How shall one know how far consent is necessary to a Member, and dissent unchurcheth him? |
| A27035 | How shall we know whether we keep them or not, or will you take upon you the guilt of our sins in disobeying his will? |
| A27035 | How unhappily are the Church- Defenders and Conformists disagreed? |
| A27035 | How was it known in the beginning of Queen Elizabeths days, when the Papists came to Church? |
| A27035 | How was the Church of England known from Papists, in the beginning of H. 8. or in the middle, or in the end? |
| A27035 | I again say that either the Reader hath read the Church History and Canons, or not? |
| A27035 | I am glad you are not for separating for want of Episcopacy or Episcopal Ordination? |
| A27035 | I have fully told him how in a whole Book of concord, And hath their way caused greater peace and order? |
| A27035 | I never met with man that pretendeth to know them, and therefore never met with man that can thus tell, whether he be of the Church of England or not? |
| A27035 | I pray you tell us, from whom our Arch- bishops receive their power? |
| A27035 | I regarded not the censures of any that go too far, so as to keep me from doing what I judged lawful: And did it tend to peace? |
| A27035 | I see none of those, I come in divers where many can not hear the Preacher; and would you have more? |
| A27035 | I therefore answer his question further, what Church I was a Member of? |
| A27035 | I thought no man but Mr. Cheny and some odd Papists had been of this Opinion? |
| A27035 | I was a Member of Christs Universal Church? |
| A27035 | If Church worship be needless, why is a Clergy to be so honoured, and maintained at so dear a rate? |
| A27035 | If I name one Obligation to Communion with you, is it a learned Note to gather that I deny all other? |
| A27035 | If every Law of Order be essential to your Church, few Conformists are of it: If only the true essentials, why are not we also of it? |
| A27035 | If false, O what a sort of men were these Prelates that so stigmatized and accused and so used so many hundred such men, on so false a charge? |
| A27035 | If it be All Infants, then how come the Heathens Infants to be baptizable and have right, when the Parents have none? |
| A27035 | If it be the later, is it one in specie or in individu ● politico? |
| A27035 | If it deserve such a Character to censure Arminians as dangerously erroneous and befriending Popery? |
| A27035 | If it never was in their minds to trust them as Consenters for them? |
| A27035 | If none, why are we not confuted? |
| A27035 | If not so, How to know that our silencing Laws and Bishops must be obeyed, and not theirs? |
| A27035 | If not, how can he tell who to believe that report them? |
| A27035 | If not, is it not a contradiction to call it a governed Church? |
| A27035 | If not, what a divided party are the Conformists, while so many use it and pray spiritually? |
| A27035 | If not, what makes them and not me to be of that Church? |
| A27035 | If sin, who should be most offended? |
| A27035 | If the Gospel be needless, why do we wish the Heathens had it? |
| A27035 | If the Peoples consent can make a National Church, why may it not make an Independant or Presbyterian Church? |
| A27035 | If the corruption of one have been the generation of another, how many Churches of England have you had? |
| A27035 | If the first, all Canon- breakers are dismembred? |
| A27035 | If the former, is it all false Doctrine or but some, and what? |
| A27035 | If the later, why am not I of your Church? |
| A27035 | If they be and do in good earnest desire to know how to please God and serve him, what directions will they give him? |
| A27035 | If they have him, why can not they speak their own hearts in other words than yours? |
| A27035 | If true, how untrue are Doctor Stillingfleet''s? |
| A27035 | If we should renounce our Christianity for them, we are never the nearer: for we are still Men and therefore loth to be destroyed in Hell? |
| A27035 | If when the blind lead the blind both fall into the ditch, must we not note the difference? |
| A27035 | If yea then is he a Pastor that wants what is essential to a Pastor? |
| A27035 | If yea, is it nothing to him to seem thus seriously to plead against his conscience? |
| A27035 | If you are, did the Jesuits teach it you? |
| A27035 | If you can not see your own face, let any impartial Reader be your glass, and ask him whether you do not that which you are condemning? |
| A27035 | If you know the Teachers heart, how know you the Peoples? |
| A27035 | If you meant only Civil? |
| A27035 | If you say from the Bishops, and so Inferiours or Equals may give power, why may not Presbyters make Presbyters or Bishops, and generare speciem? |
| A27035 | Is Baptism and the Lords Supper a sign to God, or to man? |
| A27035 | Is a Layman a true Pastor that is not truly called to it? |
| A27035 | Is forming new Churches and not communicating with the old ones all one? |
| A27035 | Is he a zealous Enemy of Schisin that taketh all this for none? |
| A27035 | Is he not unreverend to their Canons? |
| A27035 | Is his Rule true only in England, or in France, Spain, Italy, Muscovy,& c. also, or where, that the Law maketh men true Pastors? |
| A27035 | Is it any easier to do evil In obedience to a Patriarch than a Pope? |
| A27035 | Is it necessary then that the Universal Head must be visible if the subordinate be so? |
| A27035 | Is it no older than the Liturgy or Canons? |
| A27035 | Is it not enough to turn us all out of the publick Ministry? |
| A27035 | Is it not lawful for peace to forbear forcing men to disoblige 1000? |
| A27035 | Is it our Salvation that we must sacrifice to Priests, Prelates or Princes wills? |
| A27035 | Is it such men that thus make you agents for a Pope? |
| A27035 | Is it unlawful to Christen such as scruple your use of the Cross? |
| A27035 | Is malignant opposing Godliness and pleading for prophaneness or ungodliness an agreement in all the Substantials? |
| A27035 | Is not Government essential to a Governed Church? |
| A27035 | Is not this a strong proof that the people had no such agreeing or chusing power, because the Metropolitan and Synod also had their vote? |
| A27035 | Is not this in the School of Christ, and in the method of the Gospel a plain disorder? |
| A27035 | Is not this plainly to chuse damnation? |
| A27035 | Is not this the Pharises vae? |
| A27035 | Is not this to prefer Mint and Annis to faith aud judgment and mercy? |
| A27035 | Is not this to wa ● ● the outside of the Cup, and leave the inner part uncleansed? |
| A27035 | Is that none? |
| A27035 | Is there no dependancy in any of these, or all? |
| A27035 | Is this called the Church diffusive one Governed body Politick? |
| A27035 | Is this edifying? |
| A27035 | Is this hard to be understood? |
| A27035 | Is this just dealing, And doth it not confute himself? |
| A27035 | Is this only occasional joyning? |
| A27035 | Is this our Champion against Popery now? |
| A27035 | Is this our satisfaction? |
| A27035 | Is this the same that the old Separatists did? |
| A27035 | Is this true? |
| A27035 | Is your Governed Church as such only Civil, or a Kingdom only? |
| A27035 | It is called Praefatio I. F. And can every Reader know that I. F. meaneth not John Fox? |
| A27035 | It is therefore the later that is all my Question, which is the Church- Head? |
| A27035 | It would be an odd argument to prove, that a woman had no power of choice in Marriage, because one was put to perswade her to consent? |
| A27035 | It''s not so old as Luther? |
| A27035 | Judge absolutely who shall be a Minister of Christ? |
| A27035 | Mans tradition before the ordinance of God? |
| A27035 | Many Nations may agree in the same Rules of Religion, yea, so all Christians do: Doth this constitute National Churches? |
| A27035 | May not the Nation withdraw such consent? |
| A27035 | Must all the people trust only such Pastors as the Prince or Patrons choose all over England? |
| A27035 | Must not I tell them that urge me, what sin I fear, least they say you represent us as such? |
| A27035 | Must not the people on that account disown them, by his way? |
| A27035 | Must they not judge when Forreigners heretofore were set over them, whether they speak English or no? |
| A27035 | Must we all be of the Kings or Patrons Religion? |
| A27035 | Must we believe that we agree, because you say so? |
| A27035 | Must we neither be silent nor speak? |
| A27035 | My Parlour hath on all four sides the pictures of our living friends: must I not pray in that room because my face will be still towards some of them? |
| A27035 | National body, and never distinguish any necessary parts of Faith, Government and Worship, from the rest, nor tell us how to know them? |
| A27035 | Next he answereth the Question, How all the Congregations in England make up this one Church?] |
| A27035 | Next p. 267. he comes to the point in question, whether they have the Pastoral Power of the Keys over their own Flocks? |
| A27035 | Now shall we fight for the Popes coat, his head and body being banished? |
| A27035 | Now the Question is, Of which sort is the National Church of England? |
| A27035 | O how great a difference have I found, from my youth to this day? |
| A27035 | Or constantly when no better can be had without greater hurt than benefit? |
| A27035 | Or doth he mean, This Diocesan Church? |
| A27035 | Or if he be a profest Infidel, Can he be a Christian Pastor? |
| A27035 | Or is not his citing one half of the words as he doth, to deceive his credulous Reader, if not worse? |
| A27035 | Or my Church- Covenant? |
| A27035 | Or my actual Communion? |
| A27035 | Or one Government of all the National Church? |
| A27035 | Or really whether any reject not some one forme, word or office? |
| A27035 | Or such as it is unlawful to communicate with occasionally? |
| A27035 | Or to receive those to Communion that scruple your Gesture? |
| A27035 | Or whether the Act of seeing be from the sun or the eye? |
| A27035 | Or why do you so reproach your Church and Ministry? |
| A27035 | Or would not such Princes chuse such Bishops? |
| A27035 | Ordinary Tradition saith it was Fox''s: And what should I sooner believe in such a case? |
| A27035 | Personal Faults I distinguished from Ministerial and tolerable Ministerial from intolerable, then and now: and is this Contradiction? |
| A27035 | Question, How comes it to be One National Church? |
| A27035 | Quid est Altare nisi sedes& corporis& sanguimis Christi? |
| A27035 | Read Mr. Dodwell and many such others that take the Church to be a Governed body Politick and see what they will judg of you? |
| A27035 | Reader, are we not in a hard strait between Wickliffe and Dr. Stillingflect? |
| A27035 | Reader, is not this true? |
| A27035 | Readers, do you remember how even now he exposed to odium, the peoples judging whether the Pastors be Hereticks? |
| A27035 | See Reader, whether any of this be true? |
| A27035 | See how well the defenders of Prelacy agree? |
| A27035 | Shall I abuse time to confute gross Contradictions? |
| A27035 | Shall he that will not be of the Society chuse for the Society? |
| A27035 | Should Glocesier take Goodman a Papist for their Bishop because the King chose him? |
| A27035 | That I own Associations which he makes the state of the Church of England? |
| A27035 | That I own Synods for obliging concord? |
| A27035 | That I own the Magistrates Government of all? |
| A27035 | That it is not lawful for you to joyn with us? |
| A27035 | That the Emperour deposed him not, but by a pack ● Council of Bishops( which we know had a deposing power?) |
| A27035 | That''s right: But what Government is it, Civil, or Ecclesiastical? |
| A27035 | The Independants much insist on this? |
| A27035 | The Laodicean Canon cited by him speaketh for me as the rest:( Did he think I wanted his help to cite more for my self?) |
| A27035 | The Parish Churches be no true Churches? |
| A27035 | The question is not whether more Churches are desirable? |
| A27035 | The question is still unanswered, What is the One common Governing power in the Church which this Parliament consent hath ● ● t up? |
| A27035 | The question is, whether that man will Communicate with the Church on Christs terms? |
| A27035 | The terms are sar harder to Ministers? |
| A27035 | The whole Nation did not consent by Parliament when the Lords and Commons voted down the Bishops and Liturgy: was there then no National Church? |
| A27035 | Then all the question is, what''s lawful on both sides? |
| A27035 | Then how great a deed of charity is it to bring an Army among them to baptize their Children by force? |
| A27035 | These be but circumstances: What if the Plague drive away the Parish Ministers? |
| A27035 | This Collection I feared; But how could I avoid it? |
| A27035 | This mans acts were no nullities to us that knew it not: but when we knew of such must we take them for true Pastors, and it for a true Church? |
| A27035 | This was before said[ that the people might give them power? |
| A27035 | Was an Arians Tyranny, a note of right? |
| A27035 | Was it not the material place of Communicn? |
| A27035 | Was it voluntarily which they were adjudged to do? |
| A27035 | Was your Churches Rule then made? |
| A27035 | What Husband the Wife? |
| A27035 | What Landlord may not the Tenants deny? |
| A27035 | What Master the Servants? |
| A27035 | What Parliament first made it? |
| A27035 | What Physician may they not vilisie? |

| A27035 | What are the parts of their worship which he saith I joyn not in? |
| A27035 | What did he? |
| A27035 | What hope then of being understood? |
| A27035 | What if I had said so by you? |
| A27035 | What if I remove for my Edification from a drunkess ignorant Priest, to the Church of a wise and holy Pastor? |
| A27035 | What if it be in an unknown Tongue? |
| A27035 | What if it were not Immediate? |
| A27035 | What if the Church be but schismatical? |
| A27035 | What if the Church have no true Minister? |
| A27035 | What if the Church want half the Church- Worship? |
| A27035 | What if the Law should change, and allow of various Churches? |
| A27035 | What if the Worship be not Idolatrous, but Blasphemous, or utterly Ridiculous, tending to contempt of God? |
| A27035 | What if they impose any one sin on me without which they will not receive me to Communion? |
| A27035 | What if they put down all preaching save reading some dry Homilies, and all Discipline, is it not lawful elsewhere to serve God better? |
| A27035 | What if we agree in all Substantials with an unordained Layman imposed on us? |
| A27035 | What in the world is more abused than Reason and Freewill? |
| A27035 | What is the Medium? |
| A27035 | What is the Pastoral specifying form of the Church of England? |
| A27035 | What is the constancy that this Dr. maketh necessary to a member? |
| A27035 | What is this against the peoples right? |
| A27035 | What made you before talk of being under one Government? |
| A27035 | What meant all the ancient Churches to forbid Communion with Hereticks? |
| A27035 | What meant all those Fathers and Councils, that make him no Bishop that cometh not in with the peoples consent? |
| A27035 | What more natural than to propagate what men like, and oppose what they hate? |
| A27035 | What my Thoughts were? |
| A27035 | What shall one think could bring such a man to such a word? |
| A27035 | What the National Church of England is? |
| A27035 | What then would he be at? |
| A27035 | What was the Souldiers Sacramentum Militare more, from which the Church seems to have borrowed the name? |
| A27035 | What''s that to the general rule here asserted? |
| A27035 | What''s this to our question? |
| A27035 | What? |
| A27035 | When men differ in no part of Religion, they will not separate unless merely locally: Are all the things named in my first Plea, no parts of Religion? |
| A27035 | When prove you that I am only for occasional Communion when I have so long practised constant Communion with you? |
| A27035 | Where Usurpers deny the King''s Right, ought not the people to judge him to have right, because they may err? |
| A27035 | Whether all men that are more seriously religious must be forsaken by us, and ruined by them, if they be not of their mind and form? |
| A27035 | Whether an ordained Minister must be a private Member of another mans Church? |
| A27035 | Whether any man have authority to suspend this Law or Office? |
| A27035 | Whether he acquainted them with the Kings Licences, and our being accused of Schism, even when Licensed? |
| A27035 | Whether he acquainted them with what we have said for ourselves lately in divers Books; or they judg''d us unheard? |
| A27035 | Whether he be no Christian that is not a fixed Member of a particular Church? |
| A27035 | Whether he be no Christian, that is not a fixed Member of a particular Church? |
| A27035 | Whether he made them truly understand the difference between the ancient Episcopacy, and the English Diocesan frame in all its parts? |
| A27035 | Whether he made them understand that it was about 2000 Ministers that were silenced, and what men are in many of their places? |
| A27035 | Whether he made them understand that we are ipso facto excommuncate by their Canon for telling our judgment? |
| A27035 | Whether he made them understand what measure of Communion we still maintain with the Church of England and the Parish Churches? |
| A27035 | Whether he put the case as of denying active Communion in the practice of unlawful things; or as denying Communion in the rest which are lawful? |
| A27035 | Whether he put the case to them, whether we that have Communion with them are Schismaticks, if we also have Communion with others whom they prosecute? |
| A27035 | Whether he put the question to them, whether we are lawfully silenced? |
| A27035 | Whether he that sought their judgment did make them understand what all our present Impositions and Acts of Conformity are? |
| A27035 | Whether is the worse and more dangerous condition, to fall under the reproach of Schism, or to fall into Schism it self? |
| A27035 | Whether it be a duty to gather Churches or Preach publickly when it is like to do more hurt than good, by the Magistrates opposition? |
| A27035 | Whether the Excommunicating Church, or the Excommunicated for not Communicating when Excommunicated be guilty of Schism? |
| A27035 | Whether they be singular? |
| A27035 | Whether,[ How comes it?] |
| A27035 | Which did Paul mean? |
| A27035 | Which mean you by[ his] when they were two? |
| A27035 | Who but Physicians are fit to judge who is meet to be a Licensed Physician? |
| A27035 | Who doubteth that the People being not the sole judges, if they took in an un- Ordained or un- approved man without the Synods consent, it was void? |
| A27035 | Who would strive against so friendly a disputer, that goeth on to say the same as I? |
| A27035 | Why doth he accuse us for that which he dare not contradict? |
| A27035 | Why doth he silently balk the chief things which I had named? |
| A27035 | Why subscribe you against mens hopes of being saved in all their several Religions? |
| A27035 | Why then did you before put( agreement in Doctrine) among the requisites to our Accusation? |
| A27035 | Why then doth he himself elsewhere argue that there were Bishops then, because these Cities were Metropoles? |
| A27035 | Why then must not all Hereticks, Papists,& c. be received, why then are all your volumnious Accusations produced to prove us justly silenced? |
| A27035 | Why will he not be intreated to tell us in what Countries, or with what Limitations the contrary Doctrine must be received? |
| A27035 | Why, first is there a word of this that a sober Christian dare deny? |
| A27035 | Will freedom from Spiritual ▪ prayer honour your Church? |
| A27035 | Will he conclude that when ever History nameth not the Peoples choice, they are left out? |
| A27035 | Will he perswade us when the People are not the chusers, that they are not necessarily the consenters or refusers? |
| A27035 | Will he turn Papist if this be proved, and the Christian World be not deceived? |
| A27035 | Will this warrant a separation? |
| A27035 | Would it be any wonder if Bishop Goodman of Glocester kept not out any Popish Teacher? |
| A27035 | Would you have an undeniable Confutation, ad hominem, in few words? |
| A27035 | Yes, for deserting them both? |
| A27035 | You are mistaken? |
| A27035 | You are too unmerciful to your self; but what kind of Churches should there be upon your terms? |
| A27035 | [ Main] signifieth not[ Only:] who doubts but the People were to discern the Lives of chosen persons? |
| A27035 | [ Were we not Baptized into this Church, and do you not Renounce Membership? |
| A27035 | and Mr. Dodwels to prove us no Ministers of Christ, if we want nothing but a human power to impose us on the Churches, and a Patron to present us? |
| A27035 | and even some Popes and Councils to hear Mass of Fornicators? |
| A27035 | and how can we obey them? |
| A27035 | and how prove they their claim? |
| A27035 | and if not, whether rebus sic stantibus we are bound to forbear our Ministry? |
| A27035 | and should we Covenant never to endeavour an Alteration? |
| A27035 | and that their whole power of the Keys which they talk so much for, seems to themselves a dead and uneffectual thing? |
| A27035 | and to antiquity? |
| A27035 | and to the universal Church itself? |
| A27035 | and what Prince or Prelate may not the people judge Usurpers? |
| A27035 | and what alterations are made in the Church of England since the beginning of Bishop Lands power? |
| A27035 | and what claim their ancient Flocks lay to many of them; and what men they are, and what they did to prevent all our divisions? |
| A27035 | and why all their Churches ceased not when prohibited? |
| A27035 | and why did I constantly twice a day lead them thither, though some disliked it? |
| A27035 | and yet God invisible? |
| A27035 | and yet are not they visible? |
| A27035 | and yet is in the Creed? |
| A27035 | as Seneca thought Cato''s name would do more to honour Drunkenness, than Drunkenness could do to dishonour Cato? |
| A27035 | as to have Preaching and Prayer without Sacraments? |
| A27035 | but must take him for their Pastor be he what he will? |
| A27035 | but whether it must be visible? |
| A27035 | hath not this preposterous order a woe? |
| A27035 | how far is this from truth? |
| A27035 | is he therefore our true Pastor? |
| A27035 | must the King bear all the blame, if mens Souls be not provided for,& c? |
| A27035 | must we agree and not judge whether we agree or not? |
| A27035 | nor that can tell of others, and who is not? |
| A27035 | or also in Ireland, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, among Lutherans, Calvinists, Greeks,& c. supposing the Law be on that side? |
| A27035 | or can that be a true Pastoral Church that hath no Pastor? |
| A27035 | or deprive them of their right to all God''s Ordinances? |
| A27035 | or doth his bare repeating it disprove it? |
| A27035 | or how known when it began? |
| A27035 | or if a Socinian deny Christs Godhead or the i m ▪ mortality of the Soul, whether he be Competent or not? |
| A27035 | or if we falsly judge his opinion Heresie, do we agree with him? |
| A27035 | or invited yet to give our proofs? |
| A27035 | or is Representing no Representing? |
| A27035 | or is he none of the Church? |
| A27035 | or is he therefore not obliged by it? |
| A27035 | or is this the kind of Conformity that he would teach us, by denying what we subscribe to? |
| A27035 | or now as to Church- Papists? |
| A27035 | or only of living in Communion with them which do such things? |
| A27035 | or shall we believe the Doctor against the Church? |
| A27035 | or that my refusing a Physician is any wrong to his Licensers or him? |
| A27035 | or that the Christian World doth not commonly consent to? |
| A27035 | or that we may kneel before a Crucifix;) when I had before excepted the Images of God, Christ,& c. in worship, on several reasons? |
| A27035 | or whether his character of me agree with his motion to silence and ruine all such? |
| A27035 | or will you go on to follow them? |
| A27035 | shall brethren persecute brethren for a forked Cap, devised singularity of him that is our enemy? |
| A27035 | shall the Prince or Patron? |
| A27035 | shall the controversie so fall out in conclusion ▪ that for lack of necessary furniture( as it is esteemed) labourers shall lack wages? |
| A27035 | shall we not teach? |
| A27035 | the Doctor or me? |
| A27035 | what dependancy more doth he assert? |
| A27035 | what hope of Justice from such Judges? |
| A27035 | what if the Churches be burnt and the people forsaken? |
| A27035 | what if the King license them? |
| A27035 | what need Basil perswade them to accept him, when they had no power to refuse? |
| A27035 | whether you do not consequently so stigmatize the old Church of England, before Bishop Laud''s time? |
| A27035 | which Church do you mean? |
| A27035 | which is only levelled against Princes and Lay Patrons Impositions, and deposeth the English Clergy and Church? |
| A27035 | who shall judge whether the Pastors or People agree? |
| A27035 | whom they never knew, from being obliged by an Oath and Vow to that part of the matter which is good? |
| A27035 | why do you trust known Adversaries and mistrust your Brethren? |
| A27035 | why doth he barely say and not prove, that it''s but a pretence? |
| A27035 | why then did I use no publick preaching, while I lived in such Villages where the people might go to Church? |
| A27035 | why then do they argue as Mr. Dodwell? |
| A27035 | will excusing some things make others lawful? |
| A27035 | will this satisfie Conscience? |
| A27035 | would you be so disowned for your own faults? |
| A27035 | would you have a Synod called to reprove every rash word? |
| A27035 | yea and declare their own dissent, as most of the Nation did lately against Prelacy and Liturgy, yea and their chosen representatives? |
| A27035 | — Is here no more than judging their lives? |
| A27035 | 〈 … 〉 forbear Canonical Excommunicating all professed Nonconformi ● … Land? |
| A26915 | ( and that is the best that can come of it) And who would now wilfully make work for sorrow? |
| A26915 | 18? |
| A26915 | 19. how much more evidently is this declared in the death of Christ? |
| A26915 | 28? |
| A26915 | 38 And I pray you consider, whether it belongs of right to God or you, to determine of the day and hour of your coming in? |
| A26915 | 3? |
| A26915 | 6. how small an apparition of his anger, did make a carouzing King look pale, and his joynts to tremble, in the midst of his jovialty? |
| A26915 | ? |
| A26915 | Ah Sirs, doth Conscience justifie you in this? |
| A26915 | Am I ready to die, if it were this hour? |
| A26915 | Am I sure of my Salvation? |
| A26915 | And and what you have been doing all your lives? |
| A26915 | And are you thankfull to a plain Reprover, though he tell you of the most disgracefull sinne? |
| A26915 | And can you expect that God should deal so by you? |
| A26915 | And can you fear least Conversion would bring you into a worse condition then this? |
| A26915 | And can you have while for every thing, except that one thing, which all the rest are meerly to promote? |
| A26915 | And can you not bear such a sorrow for a little while? |
| A26915 | And did you ever consider, who and how many do stay for you while you delay? |
| A26915 | And do you as it were see the Judge approaching, and damnation hasting on, and yet will you delay? |
| A26915 | And do you not yet know why? |
| A26915 | And do you think it a small thing, to deface so noble a Creature as man, and to turne your selves into beasts, and mad- men? |
| A26915 | And do you think it indeed a wise mans part to live any longer at such a loss as this, and that wilfully and for nothing? |
| A26915 | And do you think it wise, or safe, or mannerly for you to make the God of Heaven to wait on you, while you are serving his Enimy? |
| A26915 | And had you rather sorrow as they do, then as the godly do? |
| A26915 | And have they not more Reason to seek their Own Salvation? |
| A26915 | And have you all this to do, and yet will you delay? |
| A26915 | And how can it choose but be a troublesome distracting thing to your mind, to be unresolved what course to take for your Everlasting state? |
| A26915 | And how can you more plainly shew that you despise God, and Heaven, then by such a course as this? |
| A26915 | And how comes it to pass that you think not of your own misery, that believe no better in the holy Ghost? |
| A26915 | And how free are his offers? |
| A26915 | And how have I dispatcht it? |
| A26915 | And how many would be saved, if we could but tell how to make men Consider ● te? |
| A26915 | And how shall he know when to restrain his sorrows? |
| A26915 | And if they escaped not, that refused him that spake on Earth, much more shall not they escape that turn away from him that speaketh from Heaven? |
| A26915 | And if you must lay out your thoughts on some thing, is it not better lay them out on these things, then on any other? |
| A26915 | And is it meet, is it reasonable, is it ingenious, for you to come out of such a Case, without lamentation that you staid in it so long? |
| A26915 | And is it not time for a man in so much danger to Consider of them, that he may know how to escape? |
| A26915 | And is there any thing in this life which you have cause to be afraid of? |
| A26915 | And is this a state to stay in an hour? |
| A26915 | And is your Everlasting happiness a matter to be wil ● ully hazarded, by causeless and unreasonable delays? |
| A26915 | And it is a sign also that you are in love with sinne: For else why should you be so loath to leave it? |
| A26915 | And must God Consider of you, that will not Consider of him, or your own Souls? |
| A26915 | And now consider what a case you are in, while you remain unconverted? |
| A26915 | And now who shall condemn us? |
| A26915 | And seeing it is a thing that must be done, were it not best for you to take the easiest and the surest way to do it? |
| A26915 | And shall I runne again into the misery that I was saved from? |
| A26915 | And shou ● d not these be thought on? |
| A26915 | And should I not be as serious, in the Matters of Everlasting Life? |
| A26915 | And should you not Study how to save your own? |
| A26915 | And therefore next ask your selves, Why should I not now Resolve and fixedly Resolve, to Turn without any more delay? |
| A26915 | And therefore to your more excellent immortall Souls, and that in a work that must needs be done, how exceeding unsuitable are Delaies? |
| A26915 | And thus follow on the discourse with your hearts? |
| A26915 | And what are the Reasons which you have on the contrary to hinder you from Resolving? |
| A26915 | And what business was I sent into the world about? |
| A26915 | And what causeless fears are they that use to afflict the Servants of God, concerning their outward troubles, and necessities? |
| A26915 | And what hurt would Holiness do thee? |
| A26915 | And what is more contrary to this then Delay? |
| A26915 | And what other Reasons have you against Resolving? |
| A26915 | And what pitty is it that so much should be lost? |
| A26915 | And what the better are you for being men and having Reason, if you have not the Vse of your Reason, when you need it? |
| A26915 | And where you have been all this while? |
| A26915 | And wherein do you differ from the beasts, so much as in your Reason? |
| A26915 | And who was ever the worse for Holiness? |
| A26915 | And why but to see and admire the Wisdom, and Power, and Goodness, and Mercy, and Justice of God, shining forth in the Redeemer? |
| A26915 | And why is all this? |
| A26915 | And why is this? |
| A26915 | And why not without so much adoe? |
| A26915 | And why should I not do so now, when they are as sure as if I saw them, and when I must see them ere it be long? |
| A26915 | And why then will you not Resolve for it? |
| A26915 | And will a man that is unresolved forsake his friends, estate, and life, for the sake of Christ, and the hopes of Glory? |
| A26915 | And will any man do this for he knows not what? |
| A26915 | And will not God then Love his Own do you think? |
| A26915 | And will the great and blessed God invite thee to his favour, and wilt thou delay and demurre upon the Return? |
| A26915 | And will you now Delay to accept the benefit, and turn to him? |
| A26915 | And will you say, It''s time enough to morrow? |
| A26915 | And will you trifle then in a work that must be done? |
| A26915 | And withall consider, that when it comes, it will be most sore to such as you: and then what thoughts do you think you shall have of these Delaies? |
| A26915 | And yet after all these Reasons art thou not Resolved? |
| A26915 | And yet are you unresolved? |
| A26915 | And yet for all this will you not Resolve to do it? |
| A26915 | And yet is not the way to Heaven fair enough for you? |
| A26915 | And yet is not this your everie- daies practice? |
| A26915 | And yet these same men can not Resolve in seaven years time, and seaven to that, whether Heaven or Earth should be more loved and laboured for? |
| A26915 | And yet will you Delay to accept the blessed offers of Grace, which is a greater thing? |
| A26915 | And yet will you delay when it is not another, but your selves, that are sinking, and drowning, and within a step of death, and desparation? |
| A26915 | And yet will you delay your Conversion, and the making sure of Heaven? |
| A26915 | And yet will you not be drawn to the Consideration of such astonishing things as these? |
| A26915 | And yet will you not do it? |
| A26915 | And yet would you stay longer in it? |
| A26915 | And yet you will hypocritically pretend that you love God above all, when you will not so much as seriously Think of him? |
| A26915 | Are our Praiers, and tears, and groane; to be despised? |
| A26915 | Are our studies, and our labours worth nothing, think you? |
| A26915 | Are our watchings and waiting, worth nothing? |
| A26915 | Are you Resolved that it should be done, and must be done, and yet will you not Resolve to do it? |
| A26915 | Are you not able to go somtimes by your selves, and Consider of these matters? |
| A26915 | Are you not able when you are alone in your beds, or as you travail in the way, or at your labour, to bethink you how things stand with your Soules? |
| A26915 | Are you not blind if you see not this is in your selves? |
| A26915 | Are you not deep enough in debt to God already, and have you not yet sinnes enough to answer for upon your Souls? |
| A26915 | Are you not perswaded in your Consciences, that it''s better to dye in a Holy and Heavenly state, then in a loose and careles worldly state? |
| A26915 | Are you not yet gone far enough from God? |
| A26915 | Art thou content to be thrust out of that Eternal Inheritance? |
| A26915 | As the Prodigal said, How many hired servants of my fathers have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger? |
| A26915 | Ask your selves, Is my Judgment Resolved, or is it not? |
| A26915 | Besides, how unfit is age to be at that paines, that youth can undergo? |
| A26915 | Bethink you what you have done, and whether you have done the work that you were sent to do, or not? |
| A26915 | But if I did it in Baptism, what need I do it again? |
| A26915 | But if it be so dangerous to sorrow, either too little, or too much, what shall a poor sinner do in such a streight? |
| A26915 | But if still you say, you will turn, when will you do it? |
| A26915 | But if you are convinced that it is Good, and necessary, is it not better now then to stay any longer? |
| A26915 | But to whom is it that God doth thus Demosntrate his Glory? |
| A26915 | But what of that? |
| A26915 | But when is it that my sorrow is too short, and I should labour to increase it? |
| A26915 | But when you have searcht the Scripture, and find that it is the Word of the God of Heaven, dare you despise it then? |
| A26915 | But would you have the Spirit come in, while you hold the dore against him? |
| A26915 | But yet shall we undervalue so glorious a work, in which the Divine perfections do so fully reveale themselves to the world? |
| A26915 | Can any heart be so senseless, or deluded? |
| A26915 | Can it bring you into a worse condition then you are in? |
| A26915 | Can not you crush this Serpent when it is but in the Spawne; and can you encounter it in its Serpentine strength? |
| A26915 | Can not you pluck up a tender Plant, and can you pluck up an Oak or Cedar? |
| A26915 | Can not you spare God the Tenths; no nor the hundreth- part of them? |
| A26915 | Can you be content with Heaven alone? |
| A26915 | Can you better turn to God, when a godly life is the common scorn of the Countrey, as it was a while agoe? |
| A26915 | Can you deny your eyes, and your appetites their desires? |
| A26915 | Can you for shame beg of God to hasten your deliverances, when you remember your delaies, and still continue to trifle with him, and draw back? |
| A26915 | Can you forget that others are in Hell at this very hour, for as small sinnes as those that you are yet intangled, and linger in? |
| A26915 | Can you have while to work, to plow, and sow, and reap, and can not you have while to prepare for Eternal Life? |
| A26915 | Can you lament your sinne and misery, when you are unacquainted with it? |
| A26915 | Can you let go friends, and goods, and life, for a Glory which you have no Knowledge of? |

| A26915 | I know not how others think of time, but for my part I am forced daily to say, How swift, how short is time? |
| A26915 | I pray you Consider; Can you reasonably think that Conversion will do you any harm? |
| A26915 | I say, to make such a question as this, or one of these, is little better then to put a scorn upon the God of Heaven? |

| A26915 | If he lay you under his Judgments, and speak to you by his Rod, and give you a lash with every word, and ask you whether yet you will Consider of it? |
| A26915 | If it be bad, and a needless thing, then let it alone for altogether? |
| A26915 | If my eyes were but open to see that which I pretend to believe, and which is certainly true; even to see a glimpse of the Majesty of the Lord? |

| A26915 | If you think us partiall, sure God is impartiall, what better judge can you have now, then he that is infallible, and must judge you all at the last? |
| A26915 | If you will not think of God, and your Souls, of Heaven, and Hell, what then will you think of? |
| A26915 | If your Landlord would for nothing renew your lease; if any man would give you houses, or lands, would you delay so long before you would accept them? |

| A26915 | Is God an Enemy, that you are loath to come to him? |
| A26915 | Is Holiness a Misery? |
| A26915 | Is a certain Kingdom, an Everlasting, glorious Kingdom, nothing to thee? |
| A26915 | Is a fleshly careless life so good? |
| A26915 | Is it a seemly thing for a man to be driven to Heaven by scourges? |
| A26915 | Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but you will weary my God also? |
| A26915 | Is it better to pamper a carcass that must shortly stink as the dung, then to provide for a living immortall soul? |
| A26915 | Is it enough for you, though you be despised and persecuted in the world? |
| A26915 | Is it not a pitifull case, that such points as these, should seem so hard to reasonable men, as to be so long in Resolving of them? |
| A26915 | Is it not most likely to be only the fear of death that makes you take up these Resolutions? |
| A26915 | Is it not out of a state of wrath? |
| A26915 | Is it not the sooner the better? |
| A26915 | Is it not time therefore to make out to Christ for strength; and should not the very sense of your disability disswade you from delay? |
| A26915 | Is it not your Judgment? |
| A26915 | Is it one hour of a hundred, of a thousand, of ten thousand, with some of you, that is thus spent? |
| A26915 | Is it your Resolution to live and die as you are? |
| A26915 | Is my Soul Converted, and truly Sanctified by the Holy Ghost? |
| A26915 | Is not God, is not your Redeemer worth the Thinking on? |
| A26915 | Is not the case plain before me? |
| A26915 | Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my Treasures? |
| A26915 | Is sinne a Paradise? |
| A26915 | Is the devil a Friend that you are so loath to leave him? |
| A26915 | Is the filthy pleasure of the flesh for a few hours, better then the endless joys of the Saints? |
| A26915 | Is there any difficulty in the point? |
| A26915 | Is there any good in it? |
| A26915 | Is there ever a man so mad that he dare speak this and stand to it? |
| A26915 | Is this the work that I made thee for, and that I feed and preserve thee, and continue thee alive for? |
| A26915 | It is he that must give you the pardon of your sinnes; and doth it not then belong to him to appoint the time of your receiving it? |
| A26915 | Love borne of a Virgin? |
| A26915 | Must God as it were hold the drunkard the candle while he reeles and spues? |
| A26915 | Must another man make it the business of his life, to Think how to do you good, that you may be saved? |
| A26915 | Must he draw the curtain, while the filthy wretch doth once more please his fleshly lusts? |
| A26915 | My Question is this; Hast thou ever s ● berly Considered of thy waies, and laid th ● se greatest matters to heart, or hast thou not? |
| A26915 | Not a man but a miserable fool will do it? |
| A26915 | O how the Kingdom of Satan would down, if we could but tell how to make men Considerate: How fast the Devil would lose his servants? |
| A26915 | O let not the Just and Jealous God stand over thee, and see thee guilty of such wickedness? |
| A26915 | O precious time ● what hearts have they, what lives do those men lead, that think time long? |
| A26915 | O sinners, what do you do, to make your recovery so difficult by delay? |
| A26915 | O then how earnestly should I think of these things? |
| A26915 | O then think of this poor sinner: Hast thou gone so farre, and done so much, and shall all be lost, because thou wilt not follow it to the end? |
| A26915 | O what a Confounding charge would this? |
| A26915 | O what a dangerous ticklish condition have you stood in all this while? |
| A26915 | O what a thing is a stony heart, that can forget not only the God that he liveth by, but also the place where he must live for ever? |
| A26915 | O what an ease is it to the Soul, to be free from so much of the burden of sinne? |
| A26915 | O you will think with your selves; was not God more worthy of my youthfull daies? |
| A26915 | Of the time you have had; and how you have spent it? |
| A26915 | Oh then it will come with horrour into your mind, How oft was I perswaded, and told of this? |
| A26915 | One would think it should be an easier question, whether you should turn to God and a Holy life, for the saving of your immortal Souls? |
| A26915 | Or canst thou think of the endless miseries of the damned, and yet be unresolved whether to turn or not? |
| A26915 | Or did it ever do any man good? |
| A26915 | Or how can you prove that it is my duty? |
| A26915 | Or rather will it not torment you one day to remember it? |
| A26915 | Or rather would you not either soundly whip them, or take their meat from them, till hunger teach them to use it better? |
| A26915 | Or what hath it ever done for you, that you should love it? |
| A26915 | Or when it may possibly cost you your lives? |
| A26915 | Or whether it be better to turn to God, or not? |
| A26915 | Or will you strive against sinne as the greatest evil, when you know not the evil of it? |
| A26915 | Seeing so great a mercy is offered to the world, why may not I partake of it as well as others? |
| A26915 | Shall God be your Master indeed, and shall Christ be your Saviour& Lord? |
| A26915 | Shall Heaven be your happiness, and have your hearts indeed? |
| A26915 | Shall Holiness be your business indeed? |
| A26915 | Shall I linger till death come, and find me unconverted? |
| A26915 | Shall all the rest of your work be undone? |
| A26915 | Shall he see thee read such urgent Reasons, and yet wilt not Resolve? |
| A26915 | Shall he see thee read these earnest requests, and yet not Resolve? |
| A26915 | Should a worm thus use the Lord that made him? |
| A26915 | Should not a creature obey the Lord that made him? |
| A26915 | Should you not bethink you a few hours, of the place, and state that you must live in for ever? |
| A26915 | So when Reason is laid asleep, and out of the way, what may not the Appetite do? |
| A26915 | Tell me but this: Are you vile in your own eyes, because you are guilty of sinne, and that against the Lord, whom you chiefly love? |
| A26915 | That God should assume the Nature of man into personal Union? |
| A26915 | That Reasonable Creatures should be so phrenet ● ck, that they can not be resolved whether it be better be saved, or be damned? |
| A26915 | The last thing that I would set before you to be Considered, is, What''s like to be the end of it, if after all this you should die unconverted? |
| A26915 | The question is not, what good meanings, or wishes, or purposes, you may have, but whether you are Resolved, and firmly Resolved? |
| A26915 | Then how wouldst thou abhor the name of sin: and how weary wouldst thou be of the pleasantest life that sensuality could afford thee? |
| A26915 | There is but one Infinite, unconceivable, perfect Good; and shall he be abased by such a question? |
| A26915 | Thou numbrest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sinne? |
| A26915 | Thou wilt never have better opportunities then thou hast had? |
| A26915 | To make once a question whether God or flesh should be pleased; whether Christ or the world should be loved, and followed? |
| A26915 | To what end? |
| A26915 | Upon the death of 50070 men; how much more may the guilty Soul say so, when he thinks on the Crucified Sonne of God? |
| A26915 | Was I so hardly recovered, by a Miracle of Mercy? |
| A26915 | Was ever man made Happy by it? |
| A26915 | Was it not in the power of Satan? |
| A26915 | Was this it that he preserved you for, and daily gave you in provision for? |
| A26915 | Well Sirs; if you will be Christians, count what it must cost you? |
| A26915 | Well Sirs; you see now what you must do: the next question then is, what you will do? |
| A26915 | Were it not better provok and despise all the world? |
| A26915 | Were it not better to lose the favour of all the world? |
| A26915 | What Reason have I to stand questioning the matter any longer, and to be unwilling to be happy? |
| A26915 | What a case are you in, if death find you unconverted? |
| A26915 | What a cheating, blinding thing is the world? |
| A26915 | What a confusion and warre do you thus make in your own Souls? |
| A26915 | What a loss will this be? |

| A26915 | What an honour is it to have the Spirit of God within us, and to have a Nature so truly Heavenly and Divine? |
| A26915 | What an unreasonable appetite? |
| A26915 | What are you afraid of? |
| A26915 | What brings so many thousand Souls to Hell, but because they would not Consider in time? |
| A26915 | What contrivances some of them make for riches, or rising in the world? |
| A26915 | What do we fear, and groan under, and complaine of, but our Fathers physick, and the means of our Salvation? |
| A26915 | What hast make other Creatures in your service? |
| A26915 | What hast makes the Sunne about the world, to return in its time to give you light? |
| A26915 | What have you done with all your talents? |
| A26915 | What have you to do on Earth but to Consider how to get well to Heaven? |
| A26915 | What hours of the day, can a man come to you, and find your Thoughts altogether idle? |
| A26915 | What if it were but the case of my body, or state, or name, should I not earnestly consider of it? |
| A26915 | What is it sirs that you stick at, that you make so many delayes before you''l turn? |
| A26915 | What life is in his promises? |
| A26915 | What likelihood is there that ever so foolish a sinner should be recovered and saved from his sinne? |
| A26915 | What matter is it for having Reason at all, if it be not that we may use it for the matters of God, and Eternall life? |
| A26915 | What means of overcoming Ignorance like Teaching; and what means of overcoming Habituated Wilfullness, like Perswasion, added to informing truths? |
| A26915 | What minute of an hour can a man come and ask you, What are you now Thinking on? |
| A26915 | What need I to venture upon unwarrantable means, to preserve either credit, or goods, or life? |
| A26915 | What plain and plentifull teaching have you? |
| A26915 | What purpose you to do for the time to come? |
| A26915 | What rageing passions? |
| A26915 | What reason of distrustfull feares can you now have? |
| A26915 | What say you Sirs to this reasonable request? |
| A26915 | What say you, Sirs? |
| A26915 | What say you? |
| A26915 | What say you? |
| A26915 | What sweetness in every passage of his grace; and what a feast in his unmeasurable Love? |
| A26915 | What then should a Christian fear, but sinne? |
| A26915 | What violent rebellious senses to contend with, to Master and to rule? |
| A26915 | What was the Sonne of God, but Love Incarnate? |
| A26915 | What will this do for thee in thy extremity? |

| A26915 | When sickness comes, and death draws near, you beg, and cry, and groan, and promise: When you feele the rod, what Christians will you then be? |
| A26915 | When you are thinking of the Reasons that should move you to be Converted, ask your selves? |
| A26915 | Whether Heaven or Earth should be more carefully sought after? |
| A26915 | Whether Heaven or Earth ▪ Eternal Glory or the transitory pleasures of sinne should be preferred? |
| A26915 | Whether a Holy, or a careless, wicked life be more to be desired? |

| A26915 | Whether the Holy Ghost or the Devil should dwell in us, and guide us? |
| A26915 | Whether the Saints of God, or the servants of the Devil should be our chosen company? |
| A26915 | Whether the Word and Minsiters of Christ, or the examples and words of wicked men, should more prevail with us? |
| A26915 | Whether the fire be hot or cold? |
| A26915 | Whether these Reasons be not cleare, and what you have to say against them? |
| A26915 | Whether you should care and labour more to be saved from sinne and Hell, or from poverty and worldly crosses, and reproaches? |
| A26915 | Whether you will dwell with God and Angels, or with Devils? |
| A26915 | Whether you will live in Heaven or Hell for ever? |
| A26915 | Which of them was it that lost his goods, and which did save them? |
| A26915 | Which of these think you is the wiser man? |
| A26915 | Who can cause the Sunne to delay its Course? |
| A26915 | Who cares for the Physician that feels no sickness, and feares not death? |
| A26915 | Who was it that brought you to this Necessity of sorrow? |
| A26915 | Who will believe that you love the Light, when you shut the windows, and draw the curtains? |
| A26915 | Who will take a servant that is not resolved to do any service? |
| A26915 | Who will take an unresolved person if he knows it, as a wife, or friend into his intimate love? |
| A26915 | Who would travail on an hour longer, that knowes he is out of his way, and must come back again? |
| A26915 | Whom have you to blame, and find fault with but your selves: was it not you that sinned? |
| A26915 | Why Sirs, a man that is well in his wits, would think that these matters should be more out of doubt then the former, and speedilier resolved on? |
| A26915 | Why Sirs, are not your Souls worth the Thinking on? |
| A26915 | Why Sirs, if you had a hundred mile to go, in a day or two, upon paine of death; would you delay? |
| A26915 | Why Sirs, it is far grosser folly, I tell you again, it is far grosser folly, to be unresolved whether you should be Holy or unholy? |
| A26915 | Why Sirs, shall these trifles be done without delay, and shall your Salvation be put off? |
| A26915 | Why are you not able? |
| A26915 | Why do I not set about it, and speedily resolve? |
| A26915 | Why else did he give us such leisure, and ability to improve it? |
| A26915 | Why how can you be so blind? |
| A26915 | Why is it that all the reasoning in the world, will do no more good on a man that is deaf, then if you said nothing? |
| A26915 | Why this he hath done in his Word, and doth it by his Embassadors, and why then should I not consider it? |
| A26915 | Why what is this but to be condemners of your selves? |
| A26915 | Why? |
| A26915 | Why? |
| A26915 | Why? |
| A26915 | Will Heaven intice the man that thinks not of it? |
| A26915 | Will Hell deterre the man that thinks not of it? |
| A26915 | Will any man forsake all that he hath, unless it be for something better, which may be as sure to him as that he had, and may make him more happy? |
| A26915 | Will they lie at his feet, and beg for mercy, that feel themselves well enough without him? |
| A26915 | Will you Resolve without any more ado, and ease us of our grief and fears, and give us but leave to preach more comfortable Doctrine to you? |
| A26915 | Will you Turn this hour without delay? |
| A26915 | Will you be unresolved till the night come on? |
| A26915 | Will you believe in a Christ whom you do not know, and trust your souls and all upon him? |
| A26915 | Will you delay till this Harvest time be over, and the Winter of persecution come again? |
| A26915 | Will you obey God, and your own Consciences, or will you not? |
| A26915 | Will you rather throw away your Thoughts then God shall have them? |
| A26915 | Will you rest upon a Promise, or fear a Threatning, or be ruled by a Law, which you do not understand? |
| A26915 | Will you then make as light of his mercy as you do now? |
| A26915 | Will you therefore think to mend the matter, by sending one that knoweth not a step of the way, nor will not learn it? |
| A26915 | Will you turn or not? |
| A26915 | Would not these be your cries, if God should call you presently away? |
| A26915 | Would so many thousands live in ease, and quietness under the guilt of so many sinnes, and the wrath of God, if they did, but well Consider of it? |
| A26915 | Would th ● ● swallow down their cups so greedily, and give up themselves to the world so eagerly, if they did but well Consider what they do? |
| A26915 | Would they do no more to prepare for their speedy appearing before God, and for the scaping of Hell fire, if they did but Consider of it? |
| A26915 | Would you fain have one years sinnes more, or one daies sinnes more to be charged upon you? |
| A26915 | Would you not think him a mad man that would say, I will go on a little further, and then I will turn back? |
| A26915 | Would you stand month after month, intreating and waiting on them, as God doth on you, in a foolisher course? |
| A26915 | Yea and to choose the worser part, and stick to it in your heart and life? |
| A26915 | Yea he reasons with thee from the experience of all the world: Who was ever the b ● tter for sinning? |
| A26915 | Yea that you should undo all that we are doing, and make us lose our labour and our hopes: And yet do you not think to pay for this? |
| A26915 | Yea would you justifie God, if he should condemn you? |
| A26915 | Yea, all that fear God about you are bound to Study to do you good? |
| A26915 | Yea; but who knows whether these last Resolutions be sincere? |
| A26915 | Yet are you not ready to turn to God? |
| A26915 | You are Souldiers in fight, and your Salvation lieth on the victory: and will you trifle in such a case, when death or life is even at hand? |
| A26915 | You are travailers to another world, and will you stay till the day is almost past, before you will begin your journey? |
| A26915 | You live like mad men: for what is Madness, but a loss of the use of Reason? |
| A26915 | You may send a man on your errand that knows the way and yet will not go it, but loiter and deceive you: But what of that? |
| A26915 | You then think God deales somewhat hardly with you: And why will you not turn then by gentler means? |
| A26915 | You will do it, and you hope you shall, but when? |
| A26915 | Your present prosperity, and worldly delights are posting away without Delay: and should you delay to make sure of better in their stead? |
| A26915 | and another lash and ask him, What say you now, will you yet obey? |
| A26915 | and are you n ● t as much bound to do good to your selves? |
| A26915 | and can you ● eep that which he calleth you to forsake? |
| A26915 | and could not be Resolved after so many years Consideration; what would you think and say of these wise men? |
| A26915 | and how little or nothing hath God had of all? |
| A26915 | and in comparison of which they are all but dreams? |
| A26915 | and shall I go to it again? |
| A26915 | and shall all this be lost, for want of going to the bottom, and making a through work of it? |
| A26915 | and shall sinne be your hatred, and the flesh and the world be your enemies indeed, and used accordingly from this day forward, without any more ado? |
| A26915 | and should you not bethink you then, of the things that concern your own good? |
| A26915 | and still are you unresolved? |
| A26915 | and that I may not have Communion with the Saints in Holiness? |
| A26915 | and that I may not sanctifie the Lords Day? |
| A26915 | and what happy advantages have you for Salvation? |
| A26915 | and what may not Temptations do with the Soul? |
| A26915 | and what may not the Passions do? |
| A26915 | and when every one will be deriding and railing at you? |
| A26915 | and when will it once be? |
| A26915 | and whether any thing that can be said to the contrary, can prove it better for you to be as you are, and to remaine unconverted? |
| A26915 | and which of them shouldest thou preferre? |
| A26915 | and, What canst thou do more?] |
| A26915 | and, What would you have done in Spain or Italy, where it would cost you your lives? |
| A26915 | are you not Convinced that it were your wisest course to part with them this very day and hour? |
| A26915 | are you not led by Reason? |
| A26915 | did thy Land, and Livings, worldly matters deserve all thy Thoughts, and did not the saving of the Soul deserve some of them? |
| A26915 | do you not know that you forsake it by not for saking it, and lose all, by saving any thing? |
| A26915 | how oft had I inward motions to return? |
| A26915 | how oft was I purposed to be holy, and to give up my heart and life to God? |
| A26915 | how unready to appear before the dreadfull God whom you have offended; and what a terrible appearance do you think that will be to you? |
| A26915 | if I should tell you but one half the blessings of a Sanctified and spirituall state? |
| A26915 | is Sanctification but such a thing as this? |
| A26915 | nor know the meaning of your Baptismall Covenant? |
| A26915 | not to come home to thy God, to thy Father, to thy Saviour, to to thy self, after so long and wilfull sinning? |
| A26915 | of all your life past; of the Relations you have born; and how you have performed the duties of those relations? |
| A26915 | or are you not? |
| A26915 | or speak any holyer words then thou hast spoken? |
| A26915 | or whether sinne with Hell after it, be better than Holiness with Heaven after? |
| A26915 | or who can stay the ascending flames? |
| A26915 | p. 181. l. 1. r. this be? |
| A26915 | shall I provoke God by dallying with him, and hazzard my Soul by lingering out my time, in such a miserable state? |
| A26915 | that being reviled, reviled not again: that gave his life, an offering for sinne, and dyed, and prayed for them that murdered him? |
| A26915 | that never was contrite, and broken hearted for sin? |
| A26915 | then whether you should eate, or drink, or sleep, for the preservation of your bodies? |
| A26915 | they would be readier to say, How can you prove that I may not pray with my Family? |
| A26915 | till the Lord of the Feast shall take them to task, and say, Friend, how comest thou in hither, not having on a wedding garment? |
| A26915 | to carry a Judge about with you in your own brests, that is still passing sentence against you? |
| A26915 | was ease and idleness, or eating, or drinking, or vaine discourses, or recreation, the business that you came into the world about? |
| A26915 | was it not you that laid in the fuel of sorrows, and sowed the feeds of this bitter fruit, and cherished the Cause of trouble in your selves? |
| A26915 | was sport and merryment the end that you were created for? |
| A26915 | what a case art thou in, if this should once be the resolution of God? |
| A26915 | whether God or the flesh should be first obeyed, and loved? |
| A26915 | which is in plain English, whether it be better go to Heaven or to Hell? |
| A26915 | which is the more desireable? |
| A26915 | which of these is the better for thee? |
| A26915 | 〈 ◊ 〉 Do you think that Judas himself had not some good Desires, that followed Christ so long, and preached the Gospel? |
| A27009 | & c. Is none of this Gospel? |
| A27009 | & c. then to hear, so much in such a Feast? |
| A27009 | ( And why should they call them Venial if they need not pardon?) |
| A27009 | ( though not so well as you would perform them?) |
| A27009 | 1 ▪ 7, 8, 9. and 2.12,& c. What more common? |
| A27009 | 13.7, 17. should not the shepherd know his sheep, and their strayings and diseases? |
| A27009 | Abels sacrifice was of the best, and it was accepted: And God saith to Cain, If thou do well, shalt not thou be accepted? |
| A27009 | Alas, how ignorant are most of the best? |
| A27009 | Alas, how is it possible then for us to forbear troubling you? |
| A27009 | Alas, if we are so unfit to part with one outward comfort now, upon the disposal of our fathers providence, how should we forsake all for Christ? |
| A27009 | Alas, what soul is so holy on the Earth, but must daily say, Forgive as our trespasses? |
| A27009 | Alas, what work should we make, if we should stroak and smooth all men with Antinomian language? |
| A27009 | Also, Suppose yet that you are Graceless: Is it nothing that a sufficient Sacrifice and Ransome is given for you? |
| A27009 | And Whether we can love or serve God too much? |
| A27009 | And also, is it not a great help to you, to hear other Christians tell how they have come into those troubles; and how they have got out of them? |
| A27009 | And do not his Apostles go the same way? |
| A27009 | And do you not Accept of Christ as he is offered therein? |
| A27009 | And doth it not incroach much on the Lords own day? |
| A27009 | And doth not Paul make it the Case of all Christians? |
| A27009 | And even among these, What a number are grossely ignorant and prophane? |
| A27009 | And for Communion with God, let me ask you: Have you no recourse to him by Prayer in your straits? |
| A27009 | And here we are cast unavoidably to try whether we do perform our resolutions by actual obedience? |
| A27009 | And how can one man, yea or five, do this to five thousand souls? |
| A27009 | And how can such a one have any true Grace: or be saved? |
| A27009 | And how come I to go on in the same fault my self? |
| A27009 | And how should you dare to deny the same to your self? |
| A27009 | And if yet any be troubled with this Doubt, if the Churches and Common trouble be any trouble to them, shall I be bold to tell them my thoughts? |
| A27009 | And is it not so in too great a measure with the best on earth? |
| A27009 | And is it not so with our Master? |
| A27009 | And may not that Comfort ● e truly the Joy of the Holy Ghost? |
| A27009 | And may we not take Comfort in that which tends to save our own and our brethrens souls? |
| A27009 | And of these five that are Christians, how great a part are of the Aethiopian, Greek and Popish Churches? |
| A27009 | And shall I keep the Devils counsel? |
| A27009 | And shall we ever have low and suspicious thoughts of the Gracious and Mercifull Nature of Christ after so strange and full a discovery of it? |
| A27009 | And then do I need to say any more to the Confirmation of the third Point, That few Christians reach this measure of Grace? |
| A27009 | And then more dark is it and impossible to discover, How farre a man may go in these grosser sinnes; and yet have the prevalent habits of Grace? |
| A27009 | And therefore it must needs be that the soul that most sinneth must needs be most in doubt whether the Interest of Christ or the flesh be predominant? |
| A27009 | And what a snare is this to us, as well as a grief? |
| A27009 | And what was the cause of his sorrow? |
| A27009 | And whether some Temptations which overcome not a strong Christian, would not overcome a weak one, who yet hath true Grace? |
| A27009 | Are not you less Censorious, and more Peaceable then heretofore? |
| A27009 | Are not you ready in most of your fears, and doubts, and troubles, to go to God before all other for relief? |
| A27009 | Are these signs that your day of Grace is over? |
| A27009 | Are you fain to lye on your knees crying for Mercy? |
| A27009 | Are you heartily willing to live in the performance of those holy and spiritual Duties of heart and life, which God hath absolutely commanded you? |
| A27009 | Are you heartily willing to take Jesus Christ as he is offered in the Gospel? |
| A27009 | Are you not more fully Resolved to stick to Christ to the death then formerly you have been? |
| A27009 | Are you not resolved to stick to Christ and his holy Laws and Waies, whatever changes or dangers come? |
| A27009 | Are you not willing to be more holy? |
| A27009 | Are you not willing to wait on God in the use of his Ordinances, in that poor weak measure as you are able to perform them? |
| A27009 | Are you willing to do this? |
| A27009 | Art thou ever able to hold out in so strict a course? |
| A27009 | As Austin saith, Shall we deny that which is plain, because we can not reach that which is obscure and difficult? |
| A27009 | As if God had not done enough, or would not sufficiently afflict us? |
| A27009 | Ask your self every morning, Which way may I this day most further my Masters business, and the Good of men? |
| A27009 | Ask your self every night, What Good have I done to day? |
| A27009 | At least is it not lawfull for man to judge as God doth? |
| A27009 | BVt I am a stranger to the witness of the spirit, and the Joy of the Holy Ghost, and Communion with God, and therefore how can I be a true Believer? |
| A27009 | Believers would rather have their Happiness in God then in the Creature: But how fain would they have it without Dying? |
| A27009 | But doth not Scripture lay as much on Love, as on any Grace? |
| A27009 | But have you Done all that he bid you? |
| A27009 | But if God were so infinite in Mercy, as you say, Why doth he not make all these men willing, that so they may be saved? |
| A27009 | But is it a Duty, or is it not? |
| A27009 | But is it not the known voyce of Sensuality and Hell, to cast reproaches upon the way and ordinances of God? |
| A27009 | But perhaps you will ask, Is doubting of our own sincerity and Salvation no sin? |
| A27009 | But perhaps you will say, How should I get more Grace? |
| A27009 | But still, it will be more difficult to shew punctually what this Imperfect or Virtual Justification is? |
| A27009 | But suppose you do not grow? |
| A27009 | But the flesh cries louder then both these, Wilt thou leave thy pleasures? |
| A27009 | But what doth God say to them for it? |
| A27009 | But what got he at this one game? |
| A27009 | But what is that? |
| A27009 | But what''s all this to you that do Repent? |
| A27009 | But where do you find that in Gods Word? |
| A27009 | But who bid you look for any better? |
| A27009 | But will this means serve turn, or must the same course be taken, to remove the sorrows of the wilfully disobedient? |
| A27009 | But( you may say) what if God call me not to suffering or hazards? |
| A27009 | But, alas, how hard is this lesson learned? |
| A27009 | Can he that erreth be fully perswaded in his errour? |
| A27009 | Can not he make a Law that shall change its Moral Action according to the change of the actions or inclinations of sinners? |
| A27009 | Can not you forbear most of the actual sinnes you commit, and perform the duties that you omit, if you be Willing? |
| A27009 | Can not you resist Pride, Worldliness and Sensuality if you be willing? |
| A27009 | Can there be Communication of Prayer, and Obedience from you? |
| A27009 | Can you doubt whether God be willing to give you Christ and Life, when he hath given them already? |
| A27009 | Can you have Cause to fear that your day of Grace is over, that have Received Grace? |
| A27009 | Can you not ▪ nay ought you not to put your self to greater labour for mens souls? |
| A27009 | Certainly you have more reason? |
| A27009 | Consider first in how narrow a compass the Church was confined before Christs coming in the flesh? |
| A27009 | DO you know what the spirit of Prayer is? |
| A27009 | Did Christ come to save any but sinners, and such as were lost? |
| A27009 | Did he weep over a rejected unbeleeving people, and was he desirous of their desolation? |
| A27009 | Did not the Devil get more in his Gown in a day, then he could get by his Sword in three hundred years? |
| A27009 | Did not the rich young man go farre before he would break off with Christ? |
| A27009 | Did not this one act found the Seat of Rome? |
| A27009 | Did not you hear and believe that Christ dyed for sin, as soon as you understood your Sin and Misery? |
| A27009 | Do I need to go over the other particulars? |
| A27009 | Do I need to prove that to you? |
| A27009 | Do Rich men never think to lie rotting in the dust? |
| A27009 | Do not worldly hopes delight you too much? |
| A27009 | Do not you cut short duties in your family and in secret, if not frequently omit them, that so you may be again at your worldly business? |
| A27009 | Do not you daily strive against the flesh, and keep it under, and deny it its desires? |
| A27009 | Do not your very speeches of Christ and heaven grow few and strange, because the world must first be served? |
| A27009 | Do these men think that a Rebell may have the love of his Prince, and as much comfort from him as a Loyal subject? |
| A27009 | Do they not know that it will comfort them more at Death& Judgement, to hear in their reckoning, Item so much given to such& such Poor? |
| A27009 | Do they think that Christ himself knew not what it was to preach Christ? |
| A27009 | Do you lose your Children? |
| A27009 | Do you lose your Goods? |
| A27009 | Do you lose your Health? |
| A27009 | Do you not Desire Christ and Grace, Justification and Sanctification? |
| A27009 | Do you not deny the world when it would hinder you from works of Mercy or publique Good, according to your ability? |
| A27009 | Do you not feel some unquietness in your sinful Condition? |
| A27009 | Do you not feel that God made these fears at your first conversion, the first and a principal means of your Recovery? |
| A27009 | Do you not hear God daily offering you Christ and Grace? |
| A27009 | Do you not look to God as him who alone is able to supply your wants, and bids you ask that you may receive? |
| A27009 | Do you not understand the things of the Spirit better then you formerly did? |
| A27009 | Do you not value God, Christ, Glory and Grace at higher rates then formerly? |
| A27009 | Do you not wait at his mouth for the Law and direction of your life? |
| A27009 | Do you perform them, or do you not? |
| A27009 | Do you see, and hear, and feel, and taste Mercy and Love? |
| A27009 | Do you think Christs satisfaction is not sufficient? |
| A27009 | Do you think that God hath any Pleasure in your sorrows as such? |
| A27009 | Do you think you must needs Despair, or give up all Hope and Comfort, or conclude your self irrecoverably lost, because you are Graceless? |
| A27009 | Do you utterly despair of help, and to seek to none? |
| A27009 | Do you value Christ above the world? |
| A27009 | Doth God seem to forsake you? |
| A27009 | Doth God so much regard this dirty flesh, that he should do all this meerly for its ease and relief? |
| A27009 | Doth Gods Spirit breath out Groans after Christ and Grace, within you? |
| A27009 | Doth any of the Apostles speak more of hell- fire, and the worm that never dyeth, and the fire that never is quenched, their Christ himself doth? |
| A27009 | Doth it do him Good to see you dejected, afflicted and tormented? |
| A27009 | Doth not the love of the world make you hard to your servants? |
| A27009 | Doth not the very language of complaining Christians shew this? |
| A27009 | Doth not your soul stick so fast in this mud and clay, that you can scarce stirre it Godward in Prayer or heavenly Meditation? |
| A27009 | Doth not your troubled spirit there finde its first vent? |
| A27009 | Doth there need any more to the establishing of the Romish and Hellish darkness? |
| A27009 | Examine, whether the thoughts of the world grow not sweeter to you, and the thoughts of God and glory more unwelcome, and unpleasing? |
| A27009 | For how can there be greater then the turning of a soul from the creature to the Creator? |
| A27009 | For how few Believers be there that understand well, what is a sound evidence, and what not? |
| A27009 | For when a man is enquiring into the state of his soul, Whether he do subject himself to Christ as his only Soveraign? |
| A27009 | Go into the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature:( what''s that Gospel?) |
| A27009 | God is the first suitor and solicitor: God Prayes you to Take Christ, and you Pray him to give you Christ: what have you now to do, but to Take him? |
| A27009 | God offereth his Love in Christ, and Christ with all his benefits to you: Are you willing to Accept them? |
| A27009 | Had David no former experiences to remind? |
| A27009 | Had you any of these holy desires, endeavors or resolutions of your self by nature? |
| A27009 | Hath God forgotten to be gratious? |
| A27009 | Hath it not been thus oft with you? |
| A27009 | Hath not Christ led us, commanded us and taught us this way? |
| A27009 | Have not these fears been chief preservers of your diligence and integrity ever since? |
| A27009 | Have not you both these? |
| A27009 | Have you discountenance from men? |
| A27009 | Have you horrid temptations? |
| A27009 | Have you made Conscience of the Duties of Praise, Thanksgiving and Cheerful Obedience, as much as of Grieving for sin? |
| A27009 | Have you made conscience of this great duty according to its excellency and these pressing Commands of God? |
| A27009 | Have you no Pity now on such stupid souls as these? |
| A27009 | Have you received no holy desires, or other Graces from him? |
| A27009 | Have you strong lusts? |
| A27009 | He requireth that you Delight your self in him: And how can you do that when you habituate both mind and body to a sad, dejected, mournful garb? |
| A27009 | How came you by that Grace of holy Des ● res? |
| A27009 | How came you to desire that you were such a one as God would have you to be? |
| A27009 | How can you then say, that you have no Communion with him? |
| A27009 | How can you think then that he will take pleasure in your consuming and destroying your own bodies? |
| A27009 | How could he have manifested more willingness to save? |
| A27009 | How desirous are diseased persons to talk with others that have had the same disease? |
| A27009 | How easily may a Christian try himself at such a time when God is trying him? |
| A27009 | How easily put off with an excuse? |
| A27009 | How easy to maintain two or three poor Scholars at the Universities for the service of the Church? |
| A27009 | How else shall he cure them? |
| A27009 | How exceeding smal a number is left then that are such as you? |
| A27009 | How fully might this be proved from the examples of Job, David, Jeremy and others in Scripture? |
| A27009 | How little Love, or Faith, or Zeal, or heavenly- mindedness, or Delight in God, have they? |
| A27009 | How little acquainted with their own hearts? |
| A27009 | How many have taught them that the least unfeigned Love to God, or to the Brethren, is a certain Mark of saving Grace? |
| A27009 | How many have the Antin ● mians and Anabaptists thus seduced? |
| A27009 | How o ● t hath the Devil preached thus, to tye the hands of those that might wound him? |
| A27009 | How oft doth the Holy Ghost press this upon us? |
| A27009 | How oft hath God professed to resist and take down the Proud, and to give Grace to the humble and dwell with them? |
| A27009 | How sad a thing is it, that we should thus add to our own Afflictions? |
| A27009 | How tenderly did Christ deal with all sorts of sinners? |
| A27009 | How then should a man know just when he was past the highest step of common or preparative Grace, and arived at the first step of special Grace? |
| A27009 | How unacquainted with a frequent exercise of these Graces? |
| A27009 | How unacquainted with the way of self- examination? |
| A27009 | How was Davids zeal for Justice allaied, as soon as he heard, Thou art the man? |
| A27009 | How will you answer God for the neglect of all that service which you should have done him, and might, if you had not disabled your bodies and minds? |
| A27009 | How? |
| A27009 | I am content to stand to the Judgement of all humble self- knowing Christians, whether this be not true of most of themselves? |
| A27009 | I would ask you but this: Whether you are willing or unwilling of all that hardness, insensibleness, and dulness which you complain of? |
| A27009 | If Christ were not first willing, he would not be the suitor and make the motion: and if he be willing, and you be willing, what can break the match? |
| A27009 | If I be a Father where is mine honour? |
| A27009 | If Tormenting Fears and Doubtings be a sin, why do you not make Conscience of them? |
| A27009 | If he had such power of you, would you not think your self certainly his slave? |
| A27009 | If not, how unwisely have you done? |
| A27009 | If then it be glad tidings and tidings of great joy to all the unconverted where it comes, why should it not be so to you? |
| A27009 | If these men will not hear him, but wilfully poison themselves, is he therefore unmercifull? |
| A27009 | If thou Do Well, shalt thou not be Accepted? |
| A27009 | If you are willing of it, what makes you complain of it? |
| A27009 | If you ask me why I speak so much of these things here? |
| A27009 | If you be Graceless, is it nothing to know that God is exceeding merciful, slow to anger, ready to forgive, pardoning iniquity, transgression and sin? |
| A27009 | If you have a thorn in your foot, will you go on halting and lamenting, or will you pull it out? |
| A27009 | If you say, I can not help it: why then do you cherish them? |
| A27009 | If you send reapers into your harvest, which would you like better? |
| A27009 | If you will make Promises to your self, and then your own Promises deceive you, whom should you blame for that? |
| A27009 | If you will put your head under every stroke that we give against sin and sinners, how can we help it if you smart? |
| A27009 | If your Child offend you, would you have him when he is pardoned no longer to believe it then you are telling it him? |
| A27009 | If your Doubting be onely Whether you be sincere in Beli ● ving, Loving, Hoping, Repenting and Obeying? |
| A27009 | If your day of Grace be past, tell me,( and do not wrong God) Where had you the Grace of Repentance? |
| A27009 | If your selves make the suffering, how can you with any encouragement beg strength of God to bear it? |
| A27009 | Is Baptism to be Reformed? |
| A27009 | Is his glory worth no more then so? |
| A27009 | Is his mercy clean gone for ever? |
| A27009 | Is it not a foolish Patient that will come home from the Physitian, and say, I have heard all that he said: but I am never the better? |
| A27009 | Is it not better venture thy self in the same way as thou hast gone in, as well as others do, and as so many of thy forefathers have done before thee? |
| A27009 | Is it not the grief of your soul when you fall? |
| A27009 | Is it not thus with you? |
| A27009 | Is it not your daily care and business to please God, and do his will, and avoid sinning in your weak measure? |
| A27009 | Is it nothing to know that the Lord hath brought Infinite Mercy and Goodness down into humane flesh? |
| A27009 | Is it nothing to you, that all your sins have a sufficient Sacrifice paid for them, so that you are certain not to perish for want of a Ransom? |
| A27009 | Is not he thy Father that bought thee? |
| A27009 | Is not here enough got at one Cast? |
| A27009 | Is not this the common case of Godly people? |
| A27009 | Is not your complaint in this the very same that the eminentest Christians have used in all times? |
| A27009 | Is not your heart raised to a Hope that yet God is mercifull to you, and means you good? |
| A27009 | Is there no ground of comfort in these examples of the Saints? |
| A27009 | Is there not a middle between these two? |
| A27009 | It is well that you desire them: But though you be not Certain of Salvation, do not you see a great likelihood, a Probability in all this? |
| A27009 | It may be you will say, But God is no Father to the Graceless? |
| A27009 | It s possible some do so: But if by these perswasions the silly people should lose their lives, how well had their new preacher befriended them? |
| A27009 | Know ye not that to whom ye Yield your selves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey? |
| A27009 | Know ye not that to whom ye yield your selves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey? |
| A27009 | Lay these now to your own heart, and tell me, Are you not unfeignedly willing to have Christ on the termes that he is offered? |
| A27009 | Let me ask you now whether you have indeed taken this course in your doubtings? |
| A27009 | Matter of Sorrow and Matter of Doubting? |
| A27009 | May not he well say to you, If you set so much by the world, take it, and see what it will do for you? |
| A27009 | May not wicked men be Willing to have Christ? |
| A27009 | Moreover, is it not a reviving thing, to hear Christians open the Goodness of the Lord? |
| A27009 | Must the Lord set up Love and Mercy in the work of Redemption, to be equally admired with his Omnipotency manifested in the Creation? |
| A27009 | Must you needs be esteemed either Innocent, or Hypocrites, or such as shall be damned? |
| A27009 | Nay how can you pray for deliverance from Gods Afflictings, when you make more of your own? |
| A27009 | Nay may it not draw out your heart in Love, Delight and Thankfulness? |
| A27009 | Nay, are you sure that you are not a member of Christ, who is one with him? |
| A27009 | Nay, what if you had no Grace? |
| A27009 | Now I am perswaded that you frequently see a strong Probability of your Sincerity: and may not that be a very great stay and comfort to your soul? |
| A27009 | Now I would but ask those very Christians that think they do know the very Sermon that converted them, Did that Sermon bring you to this Resolution? |
| A27009 | Now can any man on earth tell us just how great or how often sinning will stand with true Grace, and how much will not? |
| A27009 | Now do not you Believe the truth of the Gospel? |
| A27009 | Now how should an unwilling soul be made willing? |
| A27009 | Now if this were none of his Nature, how could he be the pattern of our new nature herein? |
| A27009 | Now in this Case, how shall those that have but little Grace be able to discern it? |
| A27009 | Now is not this as much as belongs to God as Governour of the Creature according to its Nature? |
| A27009 | Now what man can punctually determine just how often a true Christian may be guilty of any such omission? |
| A27009 | Now what''s the use that I would have you make of this? |
| A27009 | Now your first work is, Presently to accept it: not to make an unseasonable enquiry, Whether Christ be yours? |
| A27009 | O but yet he will not save the Graceless? |
| A27009 | O how narrow is the path between these two mistaken roads? |
| A27009 | O if a poor bruised, wounded soul had but heard this Sermon from his Saviours own mouth; what heart- meltings would it have caused? |
| A27009 | O that you knew what a Work of wonderfull Mercy, Wisdom and Power the Spirit performeth in the renewing of a soul? |
| A27009 | O what the Devil hath got by Over- doing? |
| A27009 | Oh how gloriously doth a tried faith shine, to the comfort of the Believer, and the admiration of the Beholders? |
| A27009 | Or Him that would do his work chearfully as well as he can? |
| A27009 | Or do you make your addresses by Prayer to any but God? |
| A27009 | Or do you not customarily hurry them over because the world will not allow you leasure to be serious? |
| A27009 | Or else how could holy men rejoyce in Tribulation, and be exceeding glad that they are accounted worthy to suffer for Christ? |
| A27009 | Or have the ungodly about you any of them? |
| A27009 | Or if you were ready to famish, and food were offered you; would you stand asking first, How shall I know that it is mine? |
| A27009 | Or that your corn is growing on your land, or your cattel in your grounds any longer then you are looking on them? |
| A27009 | Or was it not only some troubling, rowsing preparation hereto? |
| A27009 | Perhaps you will say, What comfort is there in this to a poor weak Christian? |
| A27009 | Seeing therefore that all the question will be, Whether you have true Faith? |
| A27009 | Shall I lay open all the matter expressed in this section, by a familiar comparison? |
| A27009 | Shall he do such wonders in you and for you, and you not know it, or acknowledge it? |
| A27009 | Shall not Love be acknowledged to be Love, when it s grown to a Miracle? |
| A27009 | Shew me, if you can, where the Scripture saith, He that can not Weep for sin, shall not be Saved, or hath no true Grace? |
| A27009 | Should he be still asking you over and over every day, Father, am I forgiven, or no? |
| A27009 | Should not one answer serve his turn? |
| A27009 | So also in sins of Commission: Alas, what sins did Noah, Lot, David, Solomon, Asa, Peter,& c. commit? |
| A27009 | So that you had rather have him, and Gods favour, and a Holy heart and life, then all the glory of the World? |
| A27009 | Suppose it be so: Do you see no great Likelyhood or hopes yet that they are sincere? |
| A27009 | Suppose you are yet Graceless, is it nothing to you that it is a God of Infinite Mercy that you have to do with? |
| A27009 | THe Question is not, with God, what you have been, but what you are? |
| A27009 | Tell me now whether the first of these sick persons be not like to be more troubled then the other? |
| A27009 | The Heathen could tell him that askt him, How men might be like to God? |
| A27009 | The Question Answered, Whether all Virtue be in the middle? |
| A27009 | The Question therefore is not whether you have an unwillingness& backwardness to Good? |
| A27009 | The third part is Thankfulness and Praise? |
| A27009 | The word is nigh you, even the offer of Grace: you need not say, who shall ascend to Heaven, or go down to hell? |
| A27009 | This is the sin against the Holy Ghost: And dare you say that you are guilty of this? |
| A27009 | This will necessitate you to further Unthankfulness: for who can be Thankful for a Mercy that thinks he never received it? |
| A27009 | Though you may do it with backwardness, and dullness, and weakness, yet do you Do it? |
| A27009 | Thus you speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live? |
| A27009 | To dream of Perfection on earth, is to dream of Heaven on earth: And if Assurance may be here perfect, why not all our Graces? |
| A27009 | To hear them give you their frequent and full experiences of Gods hearing and answering their Prayers, and helping them in their distresses? |
| A27009 | Was it Prosperity, and Riches, and Credit, and Friends, that God called you to Believe for? |
| A27009 | Was it never in the power of our Rulers to have helpt us here? |
| A27009 | Was it not a base wickedness in them that offered their Children in sacrifice, to think that God would be pleased with such cruelty? |
| A27009 | Was not this Reverend Zeal? |
| A27009 | Was not this a low ebb and a sad case that David was in? |
| A27009 | Was nothing sold for other uses, that was once Devoted and Dedicated to God, and might have helpt us in this our miserable distress? |
| A27009 | We have looked for Wonders from Scotland, and what is come of it? |
| A27009 | Were you not acquainted with the evil of sin, and danger and misery of sinners in your very Childhood? |
| A27009 | What Comfort would such an Answer give them? |
| A27009 | What a multitude of such passages may you find in Scripture? |
| A27009 | What a number of these choice experiences do we all receive? |
| A27009 | What abundance of difficulties will be in the way? |
| A27009 | What can be more contrary to its nature, and to Gods design in forming it, then for the Professors to live such dejected and dolorous lives? |
| A27009 | What can be plainer? |
| A27009 | What cure now should a wise man wish to such people as these? |
| A27009 | What doctrine could more desperately undo you if entertained? |
| A27009 | What if your godly friends should come about you in this Case, and bend all their wits and speeches to perswade you that you are but an Hypocrite? |
| A27009 | What is your reason? |
| A27009 | What opportunities of Doing very great Good hath been long in their hands? |
| A27009 | What then is all the rest of the work? |
| A27009 | When God in the Gospel bids you, Take Jesus Christ, and beseecheth you to be reconciled to him; what will you say to him? |
| A27009 | When you see your brother have need, do you not shut up the bowels of your compassions from him? |
| A27009 | Where do you finde in Scripture that none who have true Grace, do sin knowingly or Deliberately? |
| A27009 | Where doth Scripture say as you say? |
| A27009 | Where hath God laid our salvation upon the strength of our Memories, the Readiness of our Tongues, or measure of the like Gifts? |
| A27009 | Whether you do perform the Condition of the new Covenant? |
| A27009 | Who dare say, I am more Mercifull then God? |
| A27009 | Who ever meets with a distressed complaining soul, where one or both of these is not apparent? |
| A27009 | Who knows how many souls they may win to Christ( if God shall send them forth into his harvest) whom you have thus assisted? |
| A27009 | Who knows not that the Consolation of Martyrs is usually above other mens, who hath read of their sufferings and strange sustentations? |
| A27009 | Who made you Willing to have Christ for your Lord and Saviour? |
| A27009 | Why do you not do this instead of Doubting? |
| A27009 | Why is it that you can scarce name a Creature near you, that is not a scourge to you, but because you can scarce name one that is not your Idol? |
| A27009 | Why then do you entertain them? |
| A27009 | Why then do you that are Believers, so much forget the End of your Faith? |
| A27009 | Will he ever give his Mercy and the blood of his Son, to one that hath so abused it? |
| A27009 | Will the Lord ever save such an unworthy wretch as I? |
| A27009 | Will this ever cast out Tormenting Fears? |
| A27009 | Will you do any thing save what you should do? |
| A27009 | Will you not believe that your money is in your purse or chest any longer then you are looking on it? |
| A27009 | Will you please the Devil so far, and so far contradict the gracious way of Christ, as that you will needs either sin still, or Despair? |
| A27009 | Will you strive as much to work it to this Delight as ever you did to work it to sorrow? |
| A27009 | Will you therefore Doubt because you have slavish fears? |
| A27009 | Wilt thou beggar thy self? |
| A27009 | Would not this put you harder to it? |
| A27009 | Would these men have fought well by Sea or Land, if they had apprehended no danger? |
| A27009 | Would they avoid fire, or water, or thieves; but through an apprehension of danger? |
| A27009 | Would they take Physick when they are sick? |
| A27009 | Would you not be angry at such childish unprofitable diligence or curiosity as is a hindrance to your work? |
| A27009 | Would you rather that God had permitted you to do this? |
| A27009 | Would you see any further how he hath play''d this successful game of Over- doing? |
| A27009 | Would you speed better then the best? |
| A27009 | Would you, in the midst of your groans, and complaints, and fears, take it for a small mercy, to be certain that you shall have Christ if you will? |
| A27009 | YOur soul stands in extreme need of a Saviour: God offereth you a Saviour in the Gospel, what then have you next to do, but Accept him? |
| A27009 | Yea among our selves hath the Devil used successfully this plot: What Confession of the purest Church hath not some more then is in Scripture? |
| A27009 | Yet in a godly jealousie and distrust of your own heart, do renounce your own strength, and resolve to do this only in the strength of Christ? |
| A27009 | You have had Hopes and Probabilites of your sincerity: Did you endeavor to answer those Probabilities in your Joys? |
| A27009 | [ Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of? |
| A27009 | and Overseers of them? |
| A27009 | and Resolve to choose him before the world? |
| A27009 | and Taken all the Medicines that he gave you? |
| A27009 | and a Communication of any life of Grace from God, by Christ and the Spirit? |
| A27009 | and all because of their Afflictions? |
| A27009 | and all this on Condition of your Acceptance or Consent? |
| A27009 | and all this without Communion? |
| A27009 | and also of the necessity of a Saviour, and that Christ dyed to save all sinners that will believe and Repent? |
| A27009 | and are not quite past all Remedy? |
| A27009 | and are you heartily sorry that you perform them no better? |
| A27009 | and beg of him to make you so? |
| A27009 | and bewail it that you have been so guilty of them? |
| A27009 | and call forth the World to this sweet imployment, that in Secret and in Publick it might be the business of our lives? |
| A27009 | and come not among them? |
| A27009 | and cry out with Paul, O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from this body of death? |
| A27009 | and deny the Lord that bought them? |
| A27009 | and deride thy holy word as a fable? |
| A27009 | and desire you could do it better? |
| A27009 | and do not your duty for the saving of their souls? |
| A27009 | and do you not after sinning Resolve to be more watchfull for the time to come? |
| A27009 | and doth not Christ say, that except we Love him above all, we can not be his Disciples? |
| A27009 | and doth not your heart sigh and groan to him when you can scarcely speak? |
| A27009 | and endeavour to Do it better then you have formerly done? |
| A27009 | and for all their Time, and Power, and Interests? |
| A27009 | and hath he deserved no better at your hands? |
| A27009 | and hath not this fastned on your heart, and been working in you by Degrees ever since? |
| A27009 | and hath taken on him the most blessed office of Reconciling, and is become the Lamb of God? |
| A27009 | and how God dealt with them while they lay under them? |
| A27009 | and how backward to it? |
| A27009 | and how carnal and corrupt even that visible Church then was? |
| A27009 | and how dull and careless in it? |
| A27009 | and how few of those are fit to begin here the works of their Priestly Office, which they must live in for ever? |
| A27009 | and how hard a thing, and how rare is it to finde it and to keep in it? |
| A27009 | and how little tenderness of Conscience, and care of obeying have they? |
| A27009 | and how mutable are their Apprehensions? |
| A27009 | and how soon do they lose that Assurance which they once attain? |
| A27009 | and if I be a Master where is my fear? |
| A27009 | and if he were not infinitely Mercifull himself, how could we be required to be Mercifull as he is? |
| A27009 | and if you have not strength, what will you do? |
| A27009 | and is it unmercifulness yet if such men perish? |
| A27009 | and just how long he may continue it? |
| A27009 | and lament your misdoing it? |
| A27009 | and look so kindly on a competitor? |
| A27009 | and make your life a blessed life? |
| A27009 | and more tender compassion to the souls of men, then he hath fully manifested? |
| A27009 | and much more your worldly possessions? |
| A27009 | and of how much soarer punishment shall he be thought worthy that treads under foot the blood of the Covenant? |
| A27009 | and of living after the flesh, and preferring the world before him? |
| A27009 | and own them? |
| A27009 | and perform these Resolutions? |
| A27009 | and plead and dispute for them? |
| A27009 | and preach more for them? |
| A27009 | and rather forget you in a Sermon then them? |
| A27009 | and rather to forsake friends and all that you have, then to forsake him? |
| A27009 | and say you do well to Doubt, and you have Cause? |
| A27009 | and so whether he did sincerely take Christ for his Soveraign? |
| A27009 | and so whether his obedience be true or no? |
| A27009 | and so you have no time to deal in good earnest with Christ or your soul? |
| A27009 | and some motions and strivings at your heart to get out of it? |
| A27009 | and study more for them? |
| A27009 | and tell us which be so Damning, and which not? |
| A27009 | and that Repentance and sincere Obedience, are parts of the Condition of the new Covenant? |
| A27009 | and that for which it is that you Believe? |
| A27009 | and that in particulars, as upon experience they have found him to their own souls? |
| A27009 | and that is, whether he be a true Believer? |
| A27009 | and that they watch for their souls, as those that must give an account? |
| A27009 | and that to his Disciples? |
| A27009 | and that you are so troubled that you can not do it? |
| A27009 | and that you were able to Love God, and Delight in him, and please him even in perfection? |
| A27009 | and the Bodies Resurrection that must shortly follow? |
| A27009 | and the people therefore bound to obey them? |
| A27009 | and the rest to leave my Posterity in the like pomp? |
| A27009 | and therefore daily beg it of him? |
| A27009 | and think so meanly of it, and so hardly acknowledge it? |
| A27009 | and this without any change in God? |
| A27009 | and to be undone? |
| A27009 | and to desire that all your sins were dead, and might never live in you more? |
| A27009 | and to finde this to be the summe of the Gospel? |
| A27009 | and to forsake all and lay down thy life for Christ? |
| A27009 | and to give such loving entertainment to his enemy? |
| A27009 | and to use the means with more resolution and diligence? |
| A27009 | and try whether whether it will not be the truest way to comfort? |
| A27009 | and upon every occasion quite lose the sight of their evidences? |
| A27009 | and was not the Devil seemingly now a Christian of the most judicious and forward sort? |
| A27009 | and what an addition to your comfort this may be? |
| A27009 | and what an unconstancy and unevenness is there in our Peace? |
| A27009 | and what distractions and tumults are there in their thoughts? |
| A27009 | and what hath he left to support his soul? |
| A27009 | and what helped them? |
| A27009 | and what the duties be which he may possibly so omit, and what not? |
| A27009 | and where is your great joy? |
| A27009 | and whether it will not remove almost all the fears and troubles of the latter to hear of a Certain Remedy as soon as he heareth of the disease? |
| A27009 | and whether the Authority and Love of Christ will do more with him, then the temptations of the world, flesh and devil? |
| A27009 | and wil you after all this oppose the greatness of your sins against the greatness of this Mercy and Satisfaction? |
| A27009 | and will he be favourable no more? |
| A27009 | and would he not compel you to come in? |
| A27009 | and would not the Hope of Salvation draw you from sin to duty, without the fear of Damnation in Hell? |
| A27009 | and yet do you still doubt of it? |
| A27009 | and yet is the day of Grace over? |
| A27009 | and yet shall it be so overlookt or questioned, as if you lived without Love and Mercy in the World? |
| A27009 | and you have seen the Name of God engraven on them? |
| A27009 | and your greatest trouble that you can not walk more obediently, innocently and fruitfully? |
| A27009 | as Iobs friends did by him? |
| A27009 | but think it belongs not to you but to others? |
| A27009 | do not belye your own heart, and tell me, Had you not rather be Holy then Unholy? |
| A27009 | do they never think that they must be accountable for all their Riches? |
| A27009 | do you Live wholly on it? |

| A23622 | 46. and will not you own it with your practise? |
| A23622 | A selfish Spirit is unworthy of a Christian: are the common concernments of Gods Glory, and the prosperity of the Church, much upon your hearts? |
| A23622 | Again, hath Christ recorded his Name in your hearts? |
| A23622 | Again, how do You stand affected towards Holiness? |
| A23622 | Against which of these Rules have I offended, in the day foregoing? |
| A23622 | Ah vile and putrid Carkases? |
| A23622 | Ah what a Block doth Unbelief make of man? |
| A23622 | Alas what will their favour avail you? |
| A23622 | Alas, hath he not a thousand ways, both outward and inward, to make up a little outward disadvantage to us? |
| A23622 | Alas, what do I here? |
| A23622 | Am I a mourner for the sins of the Land? |
| A23622 | An heir of Glory? |
| A23622 | And O that the Lord might be loved the better, and glorified the more for our sakes: Will you tell us wherein we may shew our love to Him? |
| A23622 | And Oh what hard and stupid hearts have we? |
| A23622 | And are you all fat and well liking? |
| A23622 | And how great a Solace was this in his Sufferings, when he could be in a Goal, and in Heaven at once? |
| A23622 | And how great and how near is it? |
| A23622 | And how much Super- natural Revelation presupposeth, and findeth ready to entertain it and befriend it in the Light and Law of Nature? |
| A23622 | And if the friends do rejoyce, how much more doth the father? |
| A23622 | And if this be true, I pray you, tell me whether GOD heth not dealt well with us in counting us worthy of this little Tribulation for his Name? |
| A23622 | And of all the wrath of God, that hath been lately manitested and reveal''d from Heaven against us, more ways then I am able to express? |
| A23622 | And on the other side, alass, how ordinary is it for Zeal to make a bussle in the Dark, and for those that are very earnest to be very blind? |
| A23622 | And once again, when the righteous turueth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, shall be live? |
| A23622 | And shall the Grant of Heaven signifie little with thee? |
| A23622 | And shall we be insensible of such a stroke? |
| A23622 | And should not they walk more cautiously, and charily, than any alive, that are under so exact and curious an Eye? |
| A23622 | And still would justifie and 〈 ◊ 〉 God, and say, Shall I receive good at God''s hand, and no evil? |
| A23622 | And therefore God comes in and interrupts them, why what''s the matter with you, can you tell why you take on in this fashion? |
| A23622 | And what have we to do, but to believe, and wait, and love, and long, and look out for his coming, in which is all our hope? |
| A23622 | And what is thy business without Gods Blessing? |
| A23622 | And where saith he of mourning thou art mad, and of sorrow, What is it that thou doest? |
| A23622 | And why for them? |
| A23622 | And why is this World so much forsaken? |
| A23622 | And will he come? |
| A23622 | And will you miss of all, for want of Patience? |
| A23622 | And will you not be much more ashamed, that God and Conscience should find you tardy? |
| A23622 | Are You at peace with no sin, or do you not hide some Iniquity as a sweet morsel under your Tongue? |
| A23622 | Are not we his Jewells? |

| A23622 | Are you not betrothed unto Christ? |
| A23622 | Are you yet willing to turn? |
| A23622 | As he doth of joy and laughter, Where do you find a blessing poured out on laughter, as you do on tears and mourning? |
| A23622 | As the Father hath given him, so do your hearts give him a Name above every Name: Is Christ uppermost with you in your estimations and affections? |
| A23622 | Ask your self, what sin have I committed, what duty have I omitted? |
| A23622 | At least no further returns? |
| A23622 | Being asked by a Friend, How he could be so well contented to lie so long under such weakness? |
| A23622 | Being often askt by my self and others, how it was with his Spirit in all this weakness? |
| A23622 | Believed thou this? |
| A23622 | Beloved, GOD hath used you like Fondlings now, rather than like Sufferers: What shall I say? |
| A23622 | Beloved, shall not the Vessel be for the use of the Porter that made it? |
| A23622 | Beloved, what can you do? |
| A23622 | Besides, is not ours a Religion of self- denial? |
| A23622 | Besides, the Husbandman hath long patience, and will not you have a little patience? |
| A23622 | Beware they be not found among the Families that call not upon Gods Name; for why should there be wrath from the Lord upon your Families? |
| A23622 | Brethren beloved, How fares it with your Souls? |
| A23622 | Brethren, how stands it with you? |
| A23622 | Brethren, shall I yet prevail with you? |
| A23622 | Brethren, what are you for? |
| A23622 | But O what shall we render? |
| A23622 | But alas, how long shall I be a seeking? |
| A23622 | But alas, though those things are duly to be considered too, yet what good am I like to do? |
| A23622 | But alas, what are they the better for any, for all this? |
| A23622 | But alas, what are we, and what is this little that we call our All? |
| A23622 | But be of good comfort, the shame of Holiness is real Glory: how confidently doth Paul shake his Chain? |
| A23622 | But have you all done this? |
| A23622 | But is he gone to Heaven too soon? |
| A23622 | But it may be you will say, how shall I know if I am an object of Electing love? |
| A23622 | But one cast for Eternity, and will You not be carefull to throw that well? |
| A23622 | But tell me my Beloved, is he a loser any way? |
| A23622 | But we may now cry out as the Psalmist, in his complaint, O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? |
| A23622 | But what Repentance did he seek with tears? |
| A23622 | But what do I speak of my Love? |
| A23622 | But what shall I say? |
| A23622 | But where shall I begin, or when should I end? |
| A23622 | But who are Christs Sheep? |
| A23622 | But why should I doubt of your acceptance, who have so readily embraced me in all our converses? |
| A23622 | But why, my Pylades, why is thy stile towards me changed? |
| A23622 | But will it suit with such a state of sin and danger, as the best of you are in? |
| A23622 | But will you now? |
| A23622 | But you will ask me, For whom shall we weep then? |
| A23622 | Can Fulness fill you? |
| A23622 | Can Omnipotence secure you? |
| A23622 | Can a woman forget her Child, that she should not have compassion on the Son of her Womb? |

| A23622 | Did you set out for God to day? |
| A23622 | Do I first seek the kingdom of heaven, and the righteousness thereof? |
| A23622 | Do I live in nothing that I know or fear to be a sin? |
| A23622 | Do I speak any thing but what God hath spoken? |

| A26974 | & c.] Is it not necessary that these be done then, both as duty commanded, and as a condition or some means of the end propounded and promised? |

| A26974 | ( and Receiving as Lord, to be the fides quae?) |

| A26974 | 1. Who dare say so, but the Vbiquitarians, and Transubstantiation men? |
| A26974 | 13.10 Was the Precept of Accepting Christ, loving him in sincerity and obeying him& c. no part of that Gospel ▪ to which Paul was separated? |

| A26974 | 20. of Justification? |
| A26974 | 22. that say there is? |

| A26974 | ? |
| A26974 | ?] |
| A26974 | A DISPVTATION OF JVSTIFICATION: Whether any Works be any Conditions of it? |
| A26974 | A naked term[ Condition] expounded by you that never saw my heart? |
| A26974 | Active or Passive? |
| A26974 | Am I credible only when I speak amiss, and not at all when I speak right? |
| A26974 | Am not I like to have a fair hand think you of this Disputer? |
| A26974 | An efficientis Causalitas, Actio? |
| A26974 | And I pray search, whether in this Question, you do not confound your Notions ex parte objecti, and ex parte Actus? |
| A26974 | And can you think then that Remission and Justification have several conditions? |
| A26974 | And do I need to say any more now in defence of this opinion, which my Reverend Brother saith is not to be endured? |
| A26974 | And do not men that make address, address themselves in like variety? |
| A26974 | And do we make any doubt of this? |
| A26974 | And do you think Ghemnitius did join with the Papists of Trent, when he confuted them? |
| A26974 | And do you think in good sadness that one single Physical act can be the act of both the faculties? |
| A26974 | And do you think that we can any better tell when we have all that are Essential? |
| A26974 | And doth he not thereby make over, as it were under his hand, the Lord Jesus, and all his Benefits to them that will receive him? |
| A26974 | And doth it therefore follow that they can be no Conditions of our continued Justification? |
| A26974 | And doth not every man that is saved so fulfill the conditions of the new Covenant? |
| A26974 | And first, We must understand what it is that is distinguished: whether the Habit of faith, or the Acts? |
| A26974 | And how can that Law pronounce a man, or his action righteous, which curseth him, and condemneth him to Hell for that same Action? |
| A26974 | And how could you over- look it, that your Argument flyeth too boldly in the face of Christ, and many a plain Text of Scripture? |
| A26974 | And how do these men vilifie them, and rob them of their highest honor, that deny them to be the Laws of God? |
| A26974 | And how many new Methods and Doctrines of Philosophy this one age hath produced? |
| A26974 | And how oft hath Bellarmine been called Sophister for supposing, we mean such an apprehension? |
| A26974 | And how? |
| A26974 | And if faith be a passive physical instrument, it must have a Physical Efficiency? |
| A26974 | And if he had said,[ He that repenteth, or loveth, or calleth on the name of the Lord, shall be justified or saved] would not these have done it? |
| A26974 | And if means, of what sort, if not conditions? |
| A26974 | And if this be common to Hypocrites and Reprobates, what a case are we in then? |
| A26974 | And if you did not mean that these are conditions of Pardon, and Justification, when you say they are, who can understand you? |
| A26974 | And indeed what man denyeth it? |
| A26974 | And is it not Christs whole Law which is of force when he is dead, and called his Testament? |
| A26974 | And is it not great partiality to let the same pass as currant from them, which from me must be condemned? |
| A26974 | And is it now come to that pass that these can not be known? |
| A26974 | And is not Justification one benefit? |
| A26974 | And is not final Justification a freeing us from that Curse? |
| A26974 | And is not perseverance in faith as necessary as perseverance in obedience? |
| A26974 | And is not that the Law and Testimony to which we must seek? |
| A26974 | And is not that to say as much as I? |
| A26974 | And is not the Promise undoubtedly Gods Deed of Gift? |
| A26974 | And is not the imperfection of faith and repentance a sin? |
| A26974 | And is the condition of her Dignity, only the Taking him as a Prince who is Rich and Honourable? |
| A26974 | And is this wholly superfluous? |
| A26974 | And may not this tend to an accommodation between us in this Point? |
| A26974 | And now was here a fit occasion to speak reproach fully of Paul, as extream ignorant, or unfaithful, or immanis sophista? |
| A26974 | And of our Divines that say there is inherent Righteousness? |
| A26974 | And on the other side, whether it may not be of dangerous consequence, as injurious to Christ, to deny so great a part of his Dominion? |
| A26974 | And so to Believe, is not agere, but pati or recipere? |
| A26974 | And so whether we are justified by Works as such a Condition? |
| A26974 | And that repentance is not recipient, how easily do I yeild to you? |
| A26974 | And then how were all the faithful justified before Christs Incarnation and Ascension? |
| A26974 | And then the question still remaineth, whether those qualifications are means or no means? |
| A26974 | And what Reference to Justification is it? |
| A26974 | And what Transient Act is it that God then and there puts forth or performeth? |
| A26974 | And what do the generality of our Divines mean, when they say that Faith and new Obedience are our conditions of the Covenant? |
| A26974 | And what do your defences do to justifie such dealing? |
| A26974 | And what is Presumption, if it be not this very faith which Divines call justifying? |
| A26974 | And what is the unwarrantable sense? |
| A26974 | And what is the 〈 ◊ 〉 or Aptitude of faith but this? |
| A26974 | And what is this, but plainly to forbid me to dispute with you? |
| A26974 | And what then? |
| A26974 | And what think you is the happy Light that deserveth all this ostentation? |
| A26974 | And wherein is the Essential, formal difference between a wicked mans resting on Christ for Justification, and a true Believers? |
| A26974 | And whether it be not introduced by Pious Divines meerly in heat of Disputation, which usually carryeth men into extreams? |
| A26974 | And whether they stick in the air, and have all their Being first there, as Magyrus, and other Peripateticks? |
| A26974 | And which is the more clear, certain and safe? |
| A26974 | And which should you take to be indeed my sense? |
| A26974 | And who ever said that in all or any of these the Soul is Passive and not Active? |
| A26974 | And why do not stones wast by such an uncessant emanation? |
| A26974 | And why may it not be added also to the Predicate, as well as it may Reduplicatively? |
| A26974 | And why may not I be judged Orthodox in that point, when I heartily subscribe to the National Assemblies Definition? |
| A26974 | And why may not I with Dr. Preston, Mr. Wallis,& c. say it is an Acceptance, or consent, joyned with Assent? |
| A26974 | And why may we not say,[ A state of Sonship or salvation] as well as of Justification? |
| A26974 | And why might not Abraham be instanced in? |
| A26974 | And why speak you not of faith in one part of your comparison, as well as in the other? |
| A26974 | And why then may not we call it faith? |
| A26974 | And will you meet all these with your objections, and say,[ How shall I know when I have the full number? |
| A26974 | And yet do you think this too big to be essential to Christian Faith? |
| A26974 | And yet must we voluminously differ, when I have told you that I allow it? |
| A26974 | And yet will you say that faith or inherent righteousness is Legal and not Evangelical? |
| A26974 | Are not Knowledge, Words, Works, ours, by all which God saith, we are justified? |
| A26974 | Are these things doubtfull among Divines or Christians? |
| A26974 | Are we so well agreed, that you marvell at my supposition of this difference? |
| A26974 | As for your discourse, whether Paul disputes what is our Righteousness? |
| A26974 | At least do they not compound their Righteousness( as to the law of Works) partly of Christs satisfaction, and partly of their own Works? |
| A26974 | But I ask, if there be justifying works, how saith Paul true? |
| A26974 | But I wonder at his proof of his Sequel[ Because he who is ungodly is not legally righteous] what is that to the Question? |
| A26974 | But Paul doth not resolve there[ what is the Condition on which Christ makes over this Righteousness of his?] |
| A26974 | But are you indeed of the contrary opinion, and against that which you dispute against? |
| A26974 | But do you indeed think that when Paul excludeth the works of the Law, that he excludeth them only as Recipient? |
| A26974 | But do you not hereby confess that I give no more to works then you, but only less to faith? |
| A26974 | But do you think that Repentance is not necessarily Antecedent to Justification, as well as to Remission? |
| A26974 | But for works; How shall I know when I have the full number of them? |
| A26974 | But from what interest? |
| A26974 | But here is the question, Can a godly man dying, think the Righteousness of Christ is made his by working or believing? |
| A26974 | But if it be the Object that he meaneth, then what force or sense is there in his Argument, from the terms,[ Purposing, Intending, Confessing?] |
| A26974 | But if you do use it as a means, then what means is it? |
| A26974 | But if you mean not this simple apprehension( as sure you do not) then how is it possible to imagine the understanding should be passive in it? |
| A26974 | But if you will say so, what remedy But perhaps I intimate so much in my words; In what words? |
| A26974 | But if[ only] be here understood, really doth not this Brother desire to know Christ obeying, Christ risen, Christ teaching, ruling, interceding,& c? |
| A26974 | But in what sence James saith, we are justified by works, and not by Faith only? |
| A26974 | But is it Christ or the believer that you put in these various Relations? |
| A26974 | But is it not possible that it may cheat or deceive themselves, though some never utter it to the deceiving of others? |
| A26974 | But is this the state of the question with us? |
| A26974 | But now, on the other side, what inconvenience is there in the Doctrine of faith and justification as I deliver it? |
| A26974 | But the question is whether the Interest of the several acts of our faith be accordingly distinct? |
| A26974 | But to his Argument, I deny the consequence of the Major; and how is it proved? |
| A26974 | But was it possible for them to be justified without the blood of Christ? |
| A26974 | But what Condition? |
| A26974 | But what are those All things? |
| A26974 | But what condition? |
| A26974 | But what if I be mistaken in this point? |
| A26974 | But what if works and faith were both of them applyed to procure our Justification? |
| A26974 | But what if you had only said that Faith is morally passive, and not physically? |
| A26974 | But what is this to you? |
| A26974 | But what remedy? |
| A26974 | But what strange Arguments are these, that are such strangers still to the question? |
| A26974 | But why do you say only of Repentance that[ it is the condition of Remision] and of forgiving others, that[ it is the condition of entring into life?] |
| A26974 | But yet further, if Faith be passive Physically, let us find out first what is the Agent? |
| A26974 | But you ask[ If Christs righteousness be able to satisfie, what is the matter that it removeth not all our Evangelical failings? |
| A26974 | But your Doctrine, what Oedipus is able to unfold? |
| A26974 | But, saith he, to what purpose did Paul dispute against Justification by the works of the Law, If the Righteousness of faith were not sufficient? |
| A26974 | By what physical act of the Agent? |
| A26974 | By what physical contact faith doth receive this? |
| A26974 | Can I not tell you that your Argument is a Fallacy, but you will thus exclaim of me, as making you an Impostor? |
| A26974 | Can every poor man or woman reach to know what a passive Action, or a passive Passion, or a Passive Instrument is? |
| A26974 | Can he know that all shall work to him for good, though he know not whether he love God? |
| A26974 | Can no man but the Perfectly obedient, perform the condition of pardon in the Gospel? |
| A26974 | Can you find any lower place to give it? |
| A26974 | Can you tell? |
| A26974 | Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden,( Guilt is the great load:) But under what Notion will Christ be come to? |
| A26974 | Dare you tell any man of yout Hearers that though he have not so much as a Purpose to mend, yet he is justified by Faith? |
| A26974 | Did Christ expiate the sins, that by the Gospel men are obliged to punishment for? |
| A26974 | Did I ever deny that faith must eye and follow Christs death to bring us to God? |
| A26974 | Did ever man that writ of Philosophy once think that the soul did componere, dicidere, ratiocinari, judicare, patiendo& non agendo? |
| A26974 | Did not Abrahams Obedience, and other works flow from Grace? |
| A26974 | Did not each of these forsake that which by the former was accounted the good sound Definition? |
| A26974 | Did they ever tell you that this distinction is in them? |
| A26974 | Did we ever deny that Faith must be directed to Christ as Priest? |
| A26974 | Did you doubt of these? |
| A26974 | Did you ever see my Papers, or theirs? |
| A26974 | Digbyes Atomes or number of small bodies which are in perpetual motion? |
| A26974 | Do I ascribe any of Christs honour in the work to man? |
| A26974 | Do I call the duty, a work of the Law, because I say the Law condemneth the neglecters of it? |
| A26974 | Do I say any more then the Assembly saith in the preceding Question? |
| A26974 | Do you believe in your conscience, that Christ is presented and represented in the Supper only as dying? |
| A26974 | Do you believe this your self? |
| A26974 | Do you indeed think, that to be an efficient cause of our justification, and to be a bare condition, is all one? |
| A26974 | Do you not believe this? |
| A26974 | Do you not discern that the Question concerneth you and every man, as much as me? |
| A26974 | Do you not give up the Protestant cause here to the Papists in the point of certainty of salvation? |
| A26974 | Do you not see that it is against you? |
| A26974 | Do you not your selves call it fides formata charitate? |
| A26974 | Do you think he did? |
| A26974 | Do you think that I deny a godly life to be a comfortable testimony, and a necessary qualification of a man for pardon? |
| A26974 | Do you think that any of these do make the pardon to be of Debt, and not of Grace? |
| A26974 | Do you think that only the first instantaneous act of faith doth justifie, and no other after through the course of our lives? |
| A26974 | Do you think that the Law doth not threaten unbelievers, when the Gospel hath commanded faith? |
| A26974 | Do you verily believe that Repentance and Faith have no Interest in our Pardon, in sub- ordination to Christ? |
| A26974 | Does not every man that undergoes various relations, variously act according to them? |
| A26974 | Doth God every moment at a Court of Angels Declare each sinner in the world, remitted of his particular sin? |
| A26974 | Doth he that speaks of receiving a man to be our Husband, King, Master,& c. mean it of one only Act? |
| A26974 | Doth his Title cease as oft as he shuts his lips from saying, I thank you? |
| A26974 | Doth it intervene between Christ and the effect? |
| A26974 | Doth not Christ say, Take my yoak learn of me to be meek and lowly, that they may have ease and rest? |
| A26974 | Doth not the Apostle contradict you by expounding himself in the very next verse before those you cite? |
| A26974 | Doth that dishonour it? |
| A26974 | Doth the Doctrine of faith alone without Christ advance Grace? |
| A26974 | Doth the Gospel justifie us? |
| A26974 | Doth the first acceptance here serve turn for continuance of what is first received, without the following Homage and Fidelity? |
| A26974 | Doth[ Trusting him and Believing him] exclude a Resolution to obey his Directions and the future actual obedience? |
| A26974 | Ease and Rest? |
| A26974 | Else why may not they see it in it self? |
| A26974 | Enquire whether videre, audire, be only Grammatical Actions( as you call them) and natural passions? |
| A26974 | Ergo,& c. The Major is evident: What Saint dare say, that he hath a work that makes not the Reward of Grace, especially when it is a work of Grace? |
| A26974 | Even the performance of the Conditions on mans part? |
| A26974 | Even they that raise questions, what one act of faith doth justifie, whether of the Vnderstanding or Will? |
| A26974 | First you say, you exclude a co- operation effective, but why do we strive about words? |
| A26974 | First, Did ever any man deny the necessity of inherent Righteousness, that was called a Protestant? |
| A26974 | For how can they have any comfort that know not whether they are justified and shall be saved? |
| A26974 | For is not this all that Paul ayms at in speaking so oft of Faith in Relation to Christs death and Righteousness, rather then to his Government? |
| A26974 | For is that the state of the question with us? |
| A26974 | For to what purpose did Paul dispute against Justification by works of the Law, if the righteousness of Faith were not sufficient? |
| A26974 | For what Divine denyeth works to be a condition of Salvation, or of the final Justification? |
| A26974 | For what is our final Justification, but a Determination of the Question by publick sentence, on our side, Whether we have Right to salvation or not? |
| A26974 | For what should I do? |
| A26974 | For your question, How come the imperfections in our conditions to be pardoned? |
| A26974 | From what? |
| A26974 | Had I but delivered such a Doctrine as this, what should I have heard? |
| A26974 | Hath not God said?] |
| A26974 | Hath the Covenant of Grace( which promiseth Justification and Glorification) any condition on our parts, or none? |
| A26974 | Have not I ever yielded to you that all works are excluded from Justifying as works? |
| A26974 | Have you not Christs express words, that forgiving others is a condition of our Remission? |
| A26974 | He instances in Abrahams works, and excludes them: now were Abrahams works, works done by the meer strength of the Law? |
| A26974 | Here is causality, though improper; Here is a causa dispositiva: and yet shall I be blamed after I had removed Efficiency and Merit? |
| A26974 | His fifth Argument is, that[ These two Justifications overthrow each other: If by one we have peace with God, what need the other? |
| A26974 | His own received him not; What is that but they refused him? |
| A26974 | How can good works perfect our Justification, being themselves imperfect?] |
| A26974 | How can justifying faith qua talis in the act of Justifying, and Repentance, be reducible duties to the Law taken strictly? |
| A26974 | How could he have brought a plainer evidence against himself? |
| A26974 | How could you wink so hard as not to see that your Argument is as much against your self as me, if you do but turn it thus? |
| A26974 | How doth it receive it? |
| A26974 | How oft doth the Scripture expresly mention faith in our Lord Jesus Christ? |
| A26974 | How strangely is it painted? |
| A26974 | How then can you tell the world in print, that it seems I have met with a pack of Impostors, even them you mention? |
| A26974 | How then is Love the fruit of faith, and as Divines say, a consequent of Justification? |
| A26974 | How will they know when they Repent and Believe, when they have performed the full of these? |
| A26974 | How will you ever prove, that our Entering into Life, and our continued remission or Justification have not the same conditions? |
| A26974 | How would you have your Reader understand these two insinuations? |
| A26974 | I deny his Consequence: And how is it proved? |
| A26974 | I wonder that men should so little know the difference betwixt Earth and Heaven; a sinner in flesh, and a Saint that is equal to the Angels of God? |
| A26974 | I wonder what made you think me of such an opinion that I have so much wrote against? |
| A26974 | I would know 1. whether we are Guilty( not only facti, sed poenae) of every sin we commit? |
| A26974 | I would sain know what that is which you here call Faith, and say its passive? |
| A26974 | If God had not said[ He that believeth shall be justified and saved,] would Believing have done it? |
| A26974 | If Satan say, This man both deserved death by sining since he Believed( as David) must we not be justified from that Accusation? |
| A26974 | If faith should deserve the name of an instrument, when I think it is but a condition? |
| A26974 | If faith were such a Physical Passive( or Active) Instrument, whether that be the formal direct reason of its justifying? |
| A26974 | If he[ have not works, can faith save him?] |
| A26974 | If it be no cause of pardon; Is it a condition sine qua non, as to that manner of pardoning that your prayer doth intend? |
| A26974 | If it were, Whether that be the primary, formal Reason of its justifying vertue? |
| A26974 | If medii, then what medium is it? |
| A26974 | If of that, it s granted: but it s still denyed that perseverance is any of the Condition of our first pardon? |
| A26974 | If one righteousness may serve, may not Pilate and Simon Magus be justified, if no man be put to prove his part in it? |
| A26974 | If so, what hope of Justice? |
| A26974 | If the later, you might as well have said, the Socinians assert that there is a God, and so do we: But to what purpose? |
| A26974 | If we are Guilty, how can that consist with a justified state? |
| A26974 | If we must fulfill him ▪ why may not a dying man look on them? |
| A26974 | If you have, what place is it? |
| A26974 | If you say, What need you then dispute the point, if they deny it not whom you dispute with? |
| A26974 | Indeed if the Condition be never performed, then it destroyes or prevents the effect, and so the Instrument doth not agere: And why? |
| A26974 | Is Believing attributed to God, or is it an act of man? |
| A26974 | Is Love any part of the Condition of her Pardon and Dignity? |
| A26974 | Is Prayer any cause of Pardon? |
| A26974 | Is believing and trusting the Physitian some one single act, excluding all others? |
| A26974 | Is here any room for further disputing? |
| A26974 | Is it Christ himself that is physically received by faith? |
| A26974 | Is it a Passion? |
| A26974 | Is it a clear and profitable way of teaching to confound all these, under the general name of Covenant- breaking? |
| A26974 | Is it any danger to give less to faith then others, while I give no less to Christ? |
| A26974 | Is it fit to Dispute with such dealing as this? |
| A26974 | Is it harsh when yet you never once shew the fault of the Speech? |
| A26974 | Is it justice for you still to perswade the world that I mean some causality, though not efficiency? |
| A26974 | Is it meant they took him not in their hands, or received not his Person into their houses? |
| A26974 | Is it not a good Argument Negative, Abraham was not justified by works, therefore we are not? |
| A26974 | Is it not at all an Act therefore? |
| A26974 | Is it not safe when a man hath prerformed these conditions, to look on them either living or dying? |
| A26974 | Is it not this, whether the Gospel Righteousness be made ours, otherwise then by believing? |
| A26974 | Is it repent, and Christs Righteousness is by this made yours, and rest in Christ? |
| A26974 | Is it the Act of Faith? |
| A26974 | Is it the Habit? |
| A26974 | Is it the Name or the Thing that you mean? |
| A26974 | Is it then a meet phrase to say, that she is pardoned and dignified by loving such a Prince? |
| A26974 | Is it then any whit probable that it is Gods meaning to exclude this respect of the act from any conditionality herein? |
| A26974 | Is it true, that[ this is that in effect, which the Papists affirm in other words?] |
| A26974 | Is not Christ the Law- giver? |
| A26974 | Is not Faith ours as much Love,& c? |
| A26974 | Is not Love and Obedience part of the Condition? |
| A26974 | Is not one kind of work omitted when it s my duty, enough to invalidate my Justification? |
| A26974 | Is not this all that our Divines say, or require? |
| A26974 | Is not this as much as I say? |
| A26974 | Is not this as plain as may be? |
| A26974 | Is not this one of the Opinionists, that so far joyneth with the Socinians and Papists? |
| A26974 | Is not your Testament that gives your Legacy, because it gives conditionally? |
| A26974 | Is that man justified that believeth not in Christ as the King and Prophet of the Church? |
| A26974 | Is the Gospel that must be published among all Nations, the History only? |
| A26974 | Is the condition of her Deliverance and Pardon, the taking him only under the Notion of a Pardoner or Deliverer? |
| A26974 | Is there a further condition required to this condition? |
| A26974 | Is there any difficulty in this, or is there any doubt of it? |
| A26974 | Is there no aptitude in Christs legal Righteousness to give us life? |
| A26974 | Is this a sweet and Christian sense? |
| A26974 | Is this adding to the Scripture unjustly? |
| A26974 | Is this an Act too? |
| A26974 | It can not possibly by any one single Act or Passion which you call the passive Instrument: and do you think to find out many such? |
| A26974 | Item quomodo causarentur relationes rationis, sive intentiones logicae, quae sunt in actu collativo? |
| A26974 | Must not those Conditions be fulfilled by our selves? |
| A26974 | My last Question was, Whether now your Doctrine or mine be the more obscure, doubtfull and dangerous? |
| A26974 | Nay is it like to be the great business of that day to enquire whether Christ have done his part or no? |
| A26974 | Nay the act is but a moral act, such as a Statute or Bond acteth, and what need Faith to be a physical Instrument? |
| A26974 | None''s here so fruitfull as the Leaning Vine: And what though some be drunken with the Wine? |
| A26974 | Nonne quod dicere quoque periculosum est, sed ad adificationem proferendum est, d ● abolum Domino praeponit? |
| A26974 | Nor what Faith justifieth? |
| A26974 | Nor whether Faith justifie? |
| A26974 | Nothing to assure men of Justification by faith, but immediate communications to Believers? |
| A26974 | Now I pray you tell me whether here be not full as much as Dr. Ward or I say? |
| A26974 | Now how will they avoid Tompsons Doctrine of Intercision of that Title to Salvation, upon the committing of such sins? |
| A26974 | Now the question is, what is the condition of this womans deliverance and Dignity? |
| A26974 | Now would you perswade us that Paul excludeth this kind of Interest, or opposeth faith to it? |
| A26974 | OR, Whether all Humane Acts, except one Physical Act of Faith, be the Works which are excluded by Paul in the Point of Justification? |
| A26974 | OR, Whether all Humane Acts, except one Physical Act of faith, be the Works which are excluded by Paul in the Point of Justification? |
| A26974 | Of a Cause? |
| A26974 | Or are there no such conditions which man must perform himself or perish? |
| A26974 | Or can any thing but the want of this personal righteousness then hazard a mans soul? |
| A26974 | Or do you think none were justified before? |
| A26974 | Or doth every weak Christian believe all the twenty Articles that you mentioned at first? |
| A26974 | Or from what Agent and Act? |
| A26974 | Or he that gives any great matter on Condition of such Receiving, Doth he mean that any one single Act is that Condition? |
| A26974 | Or is it excluded? |
| A26974 | Or is it that Repentance is conjoyned as to our first Justification, and obedience as to that at Judgement? |
| A26974 | Or is it the Intellective Reception of his species? |
| A26974 | Or is that Promise to them only that suffer for the Declarative part only? |
| A26974 | Or that believing in Christs blood for everlasting Life and happiness, should be any more called works then believing in his blood for Justification? |
| A26974 | Or that it is this or that only Act? |
| A26974 | Or the omission of many individual acts of faith? |
| A26974 | Or was it ever his intent to advance some one act of theirs? |
| A26974 | Or what do you say less then I do here? |
| A26974 | Or what m ● ● ● Paul to rejoyce in the testimony of his Conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity he had his conversation? |
| A26974 | Or whether it is meerly Pati? |
| A26974 | Or whether their Being is only in the eye? |
| A26974 | Or, Whether all Humane Acts, except one Physical Act of Faith, be the works which Paul excludeth from Justification? |
| A26974 | Or, Whether it have only Entity and Verity, or only Goodness for its Object? |
| A26974 | Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his Glory? |
| A26974 | Our Question is, How the sense of James shall be known? |
| A26974 | Our question then is only of the nature, and reason of that necessity? |
| A26974 | Pauls Question is, What is the Righteousness which must denominate a sinner just at the Bar of the Law? |
| A26974 | Repented of all sins that must be Repented of? |
| A26974 | Reply, First, I hope you would not make the world believe that I deny it; Did I ever exclude a dying Christ from the object of justifying faith? |
| A26974 | Secondly, But what if that were so? |
| A26974 | Seeing you think( truly) that Pardon is iterated as oft as we sin, by what Transient Act of God is this done? |
| A26974 | Shall I again tell you the true ground of mens mistake( as I think) in this Point? |
| A26974 | So that it is not the natural, but the moral Truth, that is wanting: And what is that? |
| A26974 | So that it is one question to ask, Why doth Faith or Works of Obedience to Christ Justifie? |
| A26974 | Still the Question wanting in the conclusion: Who denyeth that Christ crucified is the object of justifying faith? |
| A26974 | That Readers do you expect, that will take an Assertion of Fear- Love, and Obedience, in stead of an assertion concerning Faith? |
| A26974 | That by works he means not simply good Actions, as James doth, but such as make the reward to be of debt and not of Grace? |
| A26974 | That the Church must be thus molested by such disputing volumes against it, to make the Papists and other enemies believe we hold I know not what? |
| A26974 | The Question is not whether Faith work? |
| A26974 | The conclusion never was acquainted with our Question? |
| A26974 | The fifth Question is, Whether Faith be any Instrument of our Justification? |
| A26974 | The fourth Question is, Whether other Graces may not be as properly called physical passive Instruments as Faith, is your sense? |
| A26974 | The like I may say of a Testament or Deed of Gift: But what need many words in a case where the Truth is so obvious? |
| A26974 | The question that James disputed, was, Whether men are justified by meer believing without Gospel- Obedience? |
| A26974 | The third Question is, Whether faith be passive in its instrumentality? |
| A26974 | Therefore it solely dependeth on it: And if these things were true, what are they to our question? |
| A26974 | Thirdly, The words of the Jews to John( If thou be not that Christ nor Elias, nor that Prophet, why baptizest thou? |
| A26974 | This Union is by Faith: We are united to him as to a Head, Husband and Prince, and not only as a Justifier? |
| A26974 | This is the Wills first act towards it object; and will you say that Love goes before justifying faith, and so before Justification? |
| A26974 | Thus methinks all that I desire is granted already: what Adversary could a man dream of among Protestants in such a Cause? |
| A26974 | Truly it is quite beyond my shallow capacity to reach what you here mean to be so harsh: what should I imagine? |
| A26974 | WHether Besides the Righteousness of Christ imputed, there be a personal evangelical Righteousness necessary to Justification and Salvation? |
| A26974 | WHether the Faith which Paul opposeth to works in Justification, be one only Physical Act of the Soul? |
| A26974 | WHether we are justified by believing in Jesus Christ as our King and Teacher, as well as by believing in his blood? |
| A26974 | WHether works are a condition of condition of Justification, and so whether we are justified by works as such a condition? |
| A26974 | Wards is to that of the Council of Tre ● t? |
| A26974 | Was it ever the less a Law or Promise, the Object of Faith, or Instrument of Justification? |
| A26974 | Was it not the Gospel which Christ and the Apostles preached? |
| A26974 | Was it only the Declaration of Christs Death, Resurrection,& c. which is the Gospel according to which mens secrets must be judged? |
| A26974 | Was not Abraham our Father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the Altar? |
| A26974 | Was there no Gospel- grant then extant? |
| A26974 | Were Abrahams works in opposition to Christ? |
| A26974 | Were it not then better to perswade all people, even when they are whoring, or drunk, to trust on Christ to pardon and justifie them? |
| A26974 | Were you not comparing faith in Christ as King, with faith in Christ as Priest only? |
| A26974 | What Agreement then hath this Argument with all the rest, or with his question? |
| A26974 | What Mystical Relative Union is that which is not a Moral Union? |
| A26974 | What a pack of Arguments are here? |
| A26974 | What are the Conditions? |
| A26974 | What are therefore these two kinds of Righteousness, but contradictory to each other? |
| A26974 | What be the Deeds that you know my mind by to be contrary to my words? |
| A26974 | What doth faith thus receive? |
| A26974 | What doth it concern a sinner to be justified or condemned now before a Court of Angels, where he is not present, nor knows any thing of it? |
| A26974 | What if Faith were passive in its Instrumentality? |
| A26974 | What if I dare not do so, but give that glory to God, and not to the nature of our own act? |
| A26974 | What if the Law condemn the neglect of a Gospel duty? |
| A26974 | What is it that you call Sanctification? |
| A26974 | What is it then? |
| A26974 | What is justifying Faith? |
| A26974 | What is more obvious, then that there are many conditions in justificato, which are not in actu justificationis? |
| A26974 | What is the Terminus ad quem? |
| A26974 | What is this thing called Faith, which you make such a Proteus, to be Active and Passive as to several Objects? |
| A26974 | What more proper to the reformed Religion, as such, then to honour the Scriptures? |
| A26974 | What not the signs by which faith it self should be known, and therefore should be notiora? |
| A26974 | What real difference between the godly and the wicked, the saved and damned? |
| A26974 | What room is there for them all, without confusion, If both color, quantity, odor, and all be there? |
| A26974 | What sense would you make of it if you should interpret this and such texts as this of all moral Acts? |
| A26974 | What the Action? |
| A26974 | What the Patient or Object? |
| A26974 | What then in the whole world shall escape that censure? |
| A26974 | What then is the matter? |
| A26974 | What tolearable sense can be given of that multitude of plain Scriptures which I have cited? |
| A26974 | What''s this to the Question? |
| A26974 | What''s this to the Question? |
| A26974 | What, that Faith should be this subservient Righteousness? |
| A26974 | When Tolet disputeth utrum ixtelligere sit pati? |
| A26974 | When these plants of Hell do thrive upon us, under all our care to weed them up: what will they do when the Vineyard is left desolate? |
| A26974 | When will you prove the Consequence of this Argument? |
| A26974 | When you ask how saith Paul true? |
| A26974 | Whence? |
| A26974 | Whether Affiance, Recombency, Assurance,& c. or whether a Passion? |
| A26974 | Whether Believing be so, only verbum activum, but Physically passive? |
| A26974 | Whether Besides the Righteousness of Christ Imputed, there be a Personal Evangelical Righteousness necessary to Justification and Salvation? |
| A26974 | Whether Christ himself be not the object of it? |
| A26974 | Whether Faith be any proper Instrument of our Justification? |
| A26974 | Whether Good be not the object of the Will, and so Christ be not willed as Good? |
| A26974 | Whether Works are a Condition of Justification? |
| A26974 | Whether a moral? |
| A26974 | Whether faith be passive in its Instrumentality? |
| A26974 | Whether is the Condition of the species or individuums of works? |
| A26974 | Whether it be necessitas medii ad finem, as to the continuance or consummation of our Justification? |
| A26974 | Whether justifying faith be not an act of the Will as well as the Understanding? |
| A26974 | Whether the Faith which Paul opposeth to Works in the Point of Justification, be one only Physical Act of the Soul? |
| A26974 | Whether the Faith which Paul opposeth to Works in the Point of Justification, be one only Physical Act of the soul? |
| A26974 | Whether the same may not be said as truly of other Graces? |
| A26974 | Whether they be an image or similitude begotten or caused by the Object, as Combacchius and most? |
| A26974 | Whether this or that act? |
| A26974 | Whether this willing be not the same as Loving, as love is found in the rational appetite? |
| A26974 | Whether to Believe be only verbum activ ● m? |
| A26974 | Whether we are Justified by Beliveing in Jesus Christ, as our King and Teacher; as well as by believing in his Blood? |
| A26974 | Whether you can call Affiance, or any other act of the will justifying faith, excluding this willing, or not principally including it? |
| A26974 | Whether your Opinion or mine be the plainer or safer? |
| A26974 | Which call you the good, sound definition of Faith? |
| A26974 | Which of those acts do you think goes not before Justification? |
| A26974 | Who ever said, and where, that passive Justification( yea or active) is the Gospel it self, or the sign? |
| A26974 | Who speaks more against faith, they or I? |
| A26974 | Who then gives more to works, you or I? |
| A26974 | Who will say so? |
| A26974 | Who would have thought that you had held such a point? |
| A26974 | Why do I not understand with every dull thought? |
| A26974 | Why from what they came burdened with? |
| A26974 | Why may not Christ given us ▪ justifie us as the meritorious cause, and a principal efficient; and his Gospel- grant, as his Instrument? |
| A26974 | Why may not a man know when he believeth in Christ as King and Prophet, and is his Disciple, as well as when he believeth in him as Priest? |
| A26974 | Why may not faith be a condition, as well as an Instrument of receiving the pardon of its own Imperfection? |
| A26974 | Why not Conditions as well as Instruments or Causes? |
| A26974 | Why then do you still harp upon the word[ works] as if I did give more to them? |
| A26974 | Why then should I aim at this mark? |
| A26974 | Why then we say, it is his Ransom, his love and free mercy,& c. And if the Question be, what is it in him that dignifieth her? |
| A26974 | Will any say that the Saints do no good works? |
| A26974 | Will it not be as dangerous to omit that one as all, seeing that one is required as a Condition? |
| A26974 | Will not such think they may sin salva fide? |
| A26974 | Will not the omission of Repentance for one sin invalidate it? |
| A26974 | Will you ask now[ If faith be imperfect, how comes the guilt of that Imperfection to be pardoned? |
| A26974 | Will you call to any judicious Reader, to tell you that which I particularly exprest to you? |
| A26974 | Will you not maintain it against a Papist when you are returned to your former temper? |
| A26974 | Will you not produce your faith and repentance for your Justification against this charge, and so to prove your Interest in Christ? |
| A26974 | Will you say, not by the words, but by the sense? |
| A26974 | Will you thence infer that none are justified till death? |
| A26974 | Will you therefore conclude that the Moral Agency or Efficiency of these Laws is past, and therefore they do not condemn or justifie? |
| A26974 | Would you have us say more of them, or less? |
| A26974 | Ye will not come to me that ye may have life: How oft would I, and ye would not? |
| A26974 | Yea and whether there be any such thing? |
| A26974 | Yea how great a controversie is it what the sensible and intelligible species are? |
| A26974 | Yea is it not a notorious truth, that it is quite another thing which the Papists affirm in somewhat like words? |
| A26974 | Yea what a dangerous loss will Christians then be at, who will hardly ever be able to find out this single Act, what it is and when they have it? |
| A26974 | Yea when the rest are acknowledged to be part of the Condition? |
| A26974 | Yea who doubteth but he might have given them without any condition, even that of acceptance? |
| A26974 | Yea, Why do the best Divines preach so much against Presumption? |
| A26974 | Yet in the places cited, who knows not the same word hath different senses? |
| A26974 | You ask, Were Abrahams works in opposition to that,& c? |
| A26974 | You ask[ Is it repent, and Christs righteousness by this is made yours?] |
| A26974 | You confess that by ungodly, is meant such, though Regenerate and holy, that have not an adequate holiness: Adequate; To what? |
| A26974 | You demand,[ Will you exclude his Obedience, Resurrection, intercession]? |
| A26974 | You here ask me,[ Whether I think you deny a godly life to be a comfortable Testimony, or necessary qualification of a man for pardon?] |
| A26974 | You know by Justification they mean principally Sanctification? |
| A26974 | You reply, If there be justifying works, how saith Paul true? |
| A26974 | You say the question is,[ Whether the Gospel righteousness be made ours otherwise then by believing?] |
| A26974 | You say, how then saith James true? |
| A26974 | Your conclusion now is nothing to the Question? |
| A26974 | [ For if Faith( say you) justifie as a work] But who saith it doth justifie as a work? |
| A26974 | [ He that spared not his own son, but gave him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?] |
| A26974 | [ Repent and be baptized( saith Peter) for the remission of sin; Of what sin? |
| A26974 | [ The true meaning( saith he) of the Question[ whether we are justified by Faith or by Works?] |
| A26974 | [ What doth God require of us, that we may escape his wrath and curse due to us for sin? |
| A26974 | [ Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods Elect? |
| A26974 | [ can faith save him?] |
| A26974 | and 10 29? |
| A26974 | and all because he would not deny either Christ or Faith? |
| A26974 | and excuse not Infidels from the guilt of Rebellion against the Redeemer? |
| A26974 | and have limited our justification to any one act? |
| A26974 | and how called? |
| A26974 | and how can they know that, when they know not what justifying saith is? |
| A26974 | and how can they know that, who know not whether they have faith? |
| A26974 | and how can they know what it is, when it is by Divines involved in such a cloud and maze of difficulties? |
| A26974 | and how we receive Christ, as a man takes a gift in his hand? |
| A26974 | and instead of the act we are now set to enquire after the passion? |
| A26974 | and is that positive or vehement affirming it? |
| A26974 | and not as qualifying? |
| A26974 | and saith, God giveth to will,( that is, to believe) and to do,& c. that all this is meant of meer Passion? |
| A26974 | and should dream of such perfection short of heaven, the place of our perfection? |
| A26974 | and so actively justifie us? |
| A26974 | and so another to that with a processus in infinitum? |
| A26974 | and so is Evangelically righteous? |
| A26974 | and such a Love as is distinct from justifying faith as being no part of it? |
| A26974 | and that it is of aequal difficulty upon your own and others opinion, as upon mine? |
| A26974 | and the King? |
| A26974 | and the very same? |
| A26974 | and what is that? |
| A26974 | and whether it be not the plain and frequent speech of Scripture? |
| A26974 | and why hath it not been discovered unto the world? |
| A26974 | and will there be joy in heaven for reducing a man from such an opinion? |
| A26974 | and yet meerly Recipient? |
| A26974 | are not those acts conditions? |
| A26974 | believed all necessary Truths? |
| A26974 | but what of that? |
| A26974 | by him performed? |
| A26974 | de Dieu, Bucer, Calvin, Zanchy? |
| A26974 | especially least they should yield to universal Redemption in any kind? |
| A26974 | except Mr. Pemble and a very few that with him make Sanctification and Vocation to be all one? |
| A26974 | from what? |
| A26974 | if not guilty: then what need of Pardon, of daily praying Forgive us our Debts, or of a Christ to procure our Pardon? |
| A26974 | if so; then doth not faith justifie directly, as the condition of the Gift, Promise, or new Covenant? |
| A26974 | is any excepted to the Penitent Believer? |
| A26974 | is it by a further condition, and so in infinitum?] |
| A26974 | is there any danger in it? |
| A26974 | is there any danger in this? |
| A26974 | it is God that justifieth: who is he that condemneth? |
| A26974 | no deed of Gift of Christ and his Righteousness to all that should believe? |
| A26974 | nor his Intercession,( for who shall condemn us? |
| A26974 | of that gift? |
| A26974 | or do you think the difference to be of no moment? |
| A26974 | or doth Scripture tell you? |
| A26974 | or doth it signifie any one act? |
| A26974 | or else that they do such good works as make the Reward to be not of Grace but of debt? |
| A26974 | or is it only a condition without which he will not cure them? |
| A26974 | or of another gift? |
| A26974 | or of such sins as Davids, before Repentance? |
| A26974 | or rather to advance the Lord Jesus whom faith Receiveth? |
| A26974 | or shall any be saved that saith,[ I did not repent or believe, but Christ did for me?] |
| A26974 | or should I be spoke against for the Doctrine of obedience, as if I gave more to man then you, when I give so much less? |
| A26974 | or that ever such a thing can be proved? |
| A26974 | or that there is no condemnation to him, though he know not that he is in Christ, and walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit? |
| A26974 | or the act of any one single faculty that the people of the land must perform? |
| A26974 | or to see through all the difficulties that I have discovered here in your Doctrine? |
| A26974 | or to the constitution of the condition in the Gospel? |
| A26974 | or what proof is there from Scripture for this? |
| A26974 | or yet to enquire, whether the world were sinners? |
| A26974 | or yet, that he hath commanded us in the Gospel, so to work that the Reward may not be of grace, but debt? |
| A26974 | that every Grass, Flower, Tree, Bird, Stone,& c. and other bodies, have their several distinct species in the Air night and day? |
| A26974 | that is to bring Christ down from above: or who shall descend into the deep? |
| A26974 | that is to bring up Christ again from the dead: But what saith it? |
| A26974 | that we deny even to all: Of a Condition? |
| A26974 | that[ If thou confess with thy mouth, and believe in thy heart,& c.] that[ If] is a conjunction conditional? |
| A26974 | the Trusting to Christ for Pardon and Salvation only, without taking him for their King and Prophet? |
| A26974 | the satisfaction of a surety? |
| A26974 | to justifie? |
| A26974 | to note[ what in Christ received doth justifie] rather then[ what respect of our act of faith is the condition?] |
| A26974 | to the Law? |
| A26974 | what is the danger? |
| A26974 | what need any more then to be said of it? |
| A26974 | when I say, that[ all that I have to do with, grant the Antecedent] and what''s that to the question in hand? |
| A26974 | whether Assent only, or Affiance? |
| A26974 | whether they can be the Subjects of Passion; and so be passive Acts? |
| A26974 | which yet because it is no way made ours but by believing, therefore he so puts the Question, whether by works of the Law, or by faith? |
| A26974 | why by its fruits and concomitants, and that we take Christ for Lord as well as Saviour, or to save us from the power of sin as well as the guilt? |
| A26974 | why is not the willingness he should raign, part of saving, justifying faith? |
| A26974 | why then if you be so tender, who may deal with you? |
| A26974 | with most do affirm? |
| A26974 | would not men think that learning made them dote? |
| A26974 | yea and what Law shall condemn them, if the Law of Works justifie them? |
| A26974 | yea deny this to the Gospel it self? |
| A26974 | — But the Righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise: Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into Heaven? |
| A26974 | — For where was any Legal Righteousness of the good thief on the Cross, condemned for legal unrighteousness? |
| A27047 | 12,& c. And hath the Almighty said that thus it shall be? |
| A27047 | 18. and would you have us bring your blood upon our own heads by a lye? |
| A27047 | 2. Who are his Angels? |
| A27047 | 28) Sirs, I am loth to leave you till the bargain be made: What say you? |
| A27047 | 4. Who will you give that to which you spare from God? |
| A27047 | 4. Who would set the briars and thorns agaist me in battel? |
| A27047 | 4. how unable then shall we be against Gods Sentence to Justifie you? |
| A27047 | 40, 41, 43. shall all these decide the Question? |
| A27047 | 48, And did this means secure them? |
| A27047 | 6. and told us how sad a time it will be to those that are unready? |
| A27047 | 9. and we are almost at the barr, and it is so short a time to this assize, what soul that is not dead will be secure? |
| A27047 | A merciful Judge will hang a man for a fault against man: By proportion then what is due for sin against God? |
| A27047 | Alas, how little cause have we to fear lest we should give God too much of our hearts or of our lives? |
| A27047 | Alas; how quickly will it be so with us? |
| A27047 | All the death and calamity which you see in the world, comes from the anger of this merciful God: why then may not future misery come from it? |
| A27047 | And are Love and Delight such grievous things? |
| A27047 | And are these little little sparks so intolerable hot? |
| A27047 | And can you think that we should be for any one against our Maker and Redeemer? |
| A27047 | And can you think that you shall not hear of this again, and pay for it one day? |
| A27047 | And canst thou not now be perswaded to embrace him and obey him must the world be courted while he stands by? |
| A27047 | And could you think that it was the will of God, that you should mind your bodies more then your souls, and this life more then that to come? |
| A27047 | And did it not seem as unlikely to you, that his word should be false? |
| A27047 | And did you not hear these things read to you in the Congregation by the Minister? |
| A27047 | And did you think so basely and blasphemously of God, that he would falsifie his Word, lest such as you should suffer? |
| A27047 | And do you think the undermining enemies of the Church have not a special Design upon you in this point? |
| A27047 | And do you think you shall not hear of this? |
| A27047 | And dost thou think then to be the first? |
| A27047 | And how can you give him more then all? |
| A27047 | And how importunate should we all be with sinners for their Conversion, when we consider that themselves also must shortly be Judg ● d? |
| A27047 | And if Christ be not obeyed, what a stir will conscience make? |
| A27047 | And is it not Reason, that it should go worse with contemptuous sinners, then with those creatures that never sinned? |
| A27047 | And is not hell worse then the hardest way to heaven? |
| A27047 | And is not the hearty embracing of Christ and subjection to him, a cheap prevention of all this? |
| A27047 | And is this thy requital? |
| A27047 | And is thy might and Power any greater then thy Policy? |
| A27047 | And might you not have gone where a powerfull Minister was, with a little pains? |
| A27047 | And must he then have such a stir to do thee good? |
| A27047 | And must our differences have so sharp a cure? |
| A27047 | And must you not much more use diligence in much greater things? |
| A27047 | And now Hearers, what is your resolution? |
| A27047 | And now their time is past, what is it? |
| A27047 | And shall not the Judge of all the earth judge righteously? |
| A27047 | And should men be imitated be they many, or be they few, in such a course as this? |
| A27047 | And should not a matter then that so concerneth thy self, go neer to thy heart, and awake thee from thy security? |
| A27047 | And the Judge may thus expostulate with them,[ Did all these mercies deserve no more Thanks? |
| A27047 | And was it wise or equal dealing, to preferr your lusts before that glory? |
| A27047 | And was not heaven worth the enduring of a scorn? |
| A27047 | And were you not as earnestly perswaded by God to forsake sin and erve him, and yet that would not prevail with you? |
| A27047 | And what did God entice you with? |
| A27047 | And what is holiness, but our sincere dedication, and devotedness to God? |
| A27047 | And what the better was he? |
| A27047 | And whose threatning should you have chiefly feared? |
| A27047 | And why did you not hearken to God that enticed you the other way? |
| A27047 | And why is this so? |
| A27047 | And why might not you have done so, if you had been as Industrious as they? |
| A27047 | And why then might not godliness have been your ease and recreation? |
| A27047 | And will you wilfully sin, and think to scape because God doth not hinder you? |
| A27047 | And yet you have his written word that speaks plainer then all these; And will you despise them all? |
| A27047 | Answ 1. Who should be first served? |
| A27047 | Are all the people that hear me this day, devoted in heart and life to their Redeemer? |
| A27047 | Are there no poor Children that you might set Apprentices to godly Masters, where soul and body might both have helps? |
| A27047 | Are they all for God that follow the world so eagerly, that they can not spare him a serious thought? |
| A27047 | Are those so sincerely devoted to Christ? |
| A27047 | Are thy thoughts of Christ thy freest and thy sweetest thoughts? |
| A27047 | Are you afraid of being losers by him? |
| A27047 | Are your hearts set upon the Lord Jesus? |
| A27047 | At least it doth God no harm, and therefore why sould he do us so much harm for it? |
| A27047 | Before you venture on them, enquire whether they will bear weight in Judgement, and be sweet or bitter when they are brought to tryal? |
| A27047 | But I hope you will not say that all men have Free Will ● And if my will were not free, how could I choose but sin? |
| A27047 | But I suppose some will say, There is no man that wholly lives to God, for all are sinners: how then can our Salvation depend so much on this? |
| A27047 | But Whither must they Depart? |
| A27047 | But are you excusable if he do not? |
| A27047 | But did he not also give you Reason to govern that Appetite? |
| A27047 | But doth not the Scripture make believing the condition of the Covenant? |
| A27047 | But from whom were we redeemed? |
| A27047 | But hath he indeed their hearts? |
| A27047 | But how remain? |
| A27047 | But how shall Heathens bejudged by the Law of grace, that never did Receive it? |
| A27047 | But how shall infants be judged by the Gospel, that were uncapable of it? |
| A27047 | But if Christ have satisfied for my sins, and dyed for me, then how can I justly suffer for the same sins? |
| A27047 | But if men will not hear, and there be no remedy, who can help it? |
| A27047 | But seeing thou art also guilty of those special sins which he never shed his blood for, who shall deliver thee from that Accusation? |
| A27047 | But shall I pr ● ach for my self, while I pretend to be preaching you from your selves to God? |
| A27047 | But the last Question, which must decide the Controversie, will be, whether we have performed the condition of the Gospel? |
| A27047 | But were there no seditious persons but Apostles and Christians? |
| A27047 | But what if the way to heaven had been harder then it was? |
| A27047 | But who be they that are ready? |
| A27047 | But why do I speak thus? |
| A27047 | But why is it called a fire prerared for the Devil and his Angels? |
| A27047 | Can foolish sinners think to lie hid or escape at that day, that will now sin wilfully before their Judge? |
| A27047 | Can the Seat you sit on, over- top your counsels? |
| A27047 | Canst thou do none of these? |
| A27047 | Canst thou part with goods and friends, and all that thou hast, in hope of a promised Glory which thou never sawest? |
| A27047 | Certainly Sathan did not create you, or redeem you; what right then hath he to you, that he should be served? |
| A27047 | Christ said not of his life and precious blood, It is too much; And will you say of your poor unprofitable Service, It is too much? |
| A27047 | Consider that you have no right of propriety to your selves; if you have, how came you by it? |
| A27047 | Could not God requite your labour or sufferings? |
| A27047 | Could you expect that those should come to heaven, that would not believe there was such a state, but refused it, and preferred the world before it? |
| A27047 | Could you have taken no time from your rest or eating, or at other Intermissions? |
| A27047 | D ● re you deny it? |
| A27047 | Dare you doubt of this which the God of Heaven hath so positively affirmed? |
| A27047 | Darest thou run upon fire, or water, sword or canon, rather then wilfully run upon his displeasure? |
| A27047 | Despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? |
| A27047 | Did God hide these things from you? |
| A27047 | Did God make the world so easily? |
| A27047 | Did Gods Word make Heaven and Earth? |
| A27047 | Did he not stand by you when you were in your cups and lustfull Pleasure? |
| A27047 | Did he not tell you of the danger, and offer you far better things, if you would obey him and despise those baits? |
| A27047 | Did he pitty thee in thy lost estate, and take thee up when thou laist wounded in the way, and make thee a plaister of the blood of his heart? |
| A27047 | Did not Christ cell thee, One thing is necessary? |
| A27047 | Did not Christ tell you, that if you were ashamed of him before men, he would be ashamed of you before his Father and the Angels of heaven? |
| A27047 | Did not God also threaten you with everlasting Death, if you were not ruled by him? |
| A27047 | Did not God purpose also to manifest the glory of his Remunerative Justice? |
| A27047 | Did not God tell you all this and much more; aud plainly tell it you? |
| A27047 | Did the knees of King Belshazzar knock together with trembling, when he saw the hand- writing on the wall? |
| A27047 | Did you doubt of his will, or of his power? |
| A27047 | Did you joyn with the godly so far as they are all agreed? |
| A27047 | Did you make your selves? |
| A27047 | Did you not feel pain and misery begin in this life? |
| A27047 | Did you not there solemnly by your parents, resign your self to Christ as his? |
| A27047 | Did you spend no time in Recreation, nor Idleness, nor vain talking? |
| A27047 | Did you think God was no wiser then you, and understood not himself, because you understood him not? |
| A27047 | Didst thou attend diligently on the word in publike, and think of what thou heardest when thou camest home? |
| A27047 | Didst thou go to the Minister, or to others that could teach thee, and intreat them to tell thee the way to salvation? |
| A27047 | Didst thou pray daily for it to God? |
| A27047 | Didst thou use all the means thou couldst to get it? |
| A27047 | Do not ask what God will do with you? |
| A27047 | Do not you use to ask this of your own hearts? |
| A27047 | Do we desire this sad fruit of our Labours? |
| A27047 | Do you all live as Christ''s, and not your own? |
| A27047 | Do you ask how? |
| A27047 | Do you fear giving more to God then his due? |
| A27047 | Do you know the secrets of your Masters counsel? |
| A27047 | Do you love his weak, his poor despised Members? |
| A27047 | Do you remember the time when yon were the servants of sin, and when Sathan led you captive at his will? |
| A27047 | Do you soundly Believe this Doctrine which I have preached to you? |
| A27047 | Do you stand to the Covenant that you made by your parents? |
| A27047 | Do you think sirs, that you shall then have the face to say, I thought Lord, that I had been made and redeemed for my self? |
| A27047 | Do you think this will not one day cost you dear? |
| A27047 | Do you understand that you are all by nature Condemned men and lyable to the everlasting wrath of God? |
| A27047 | Do you visit them, cloath them, feed them to your power? |
| A27047 | Dost thou daily and spiritually worship him in private, and in thy Family, and teach thy Children and Servants to fear the Lord? |
| A27047 | Dost thou know its form, or didst thou feel it enter? |
| A27047 | Dost thou say, Speak, Lord, for thy Servant heareth? |
| A27047 | Dost thou take him for thy onely Saviour? |
| A27047 | Doth any Repent when they come to Heaven, that it cost them so dear to come thither? |
| A27047 | Doth it make the Crown sit faster on the heads of Kings? |
| A27047 | Doth this Book know what is written in it? |
| A27047 | Doubtless, only those whom he hath bought: but who are those? |
| A27047 | Especially when thou art every hour uncertain whether thou shalt see another hour, and not be presently snatch away by death? |
| A27047 | Examine a little also your love to Christ, Do you thus kiss the Son? |
| A27047 | FOR the Fourth Particular, who will be the Accuser? |
| A27047 | FOR the Third Point, Who are they that must be judged? |
| A27047 | FOR the seventh head, What will be the cause of the day to be enquired after? |
| A27047 | FOR the sixth particular, What Law is it that men shall be Judged by? |
| A27047 | First, in what sense we are said to be bought with a price? |
| A27047 | For he knoweth vain man; he seeth wickedness also, and will he not consider it? |
| A27047 | For how should it be? |
| A27047 | For the poor creature to stand before his Maker and Redeemer, to be Judged to everlasting Joy or Torment? |
| A27047 | Friend, how camest thou in hither, not having on a wedding gatment? |
| A27047 | From whom? |
| A27047 | God thought not all these too good for you, and did you think your hearts and services too good for him? |
| A27047 | God will make us Judge you, and witness against you; Can we absolve you, when the righteous God will condemn you? |
| A27047 | God, or man? |
| A27047 | Hast thou laid all down at the feet of Christ? |
| A27047 | Hath Christ now the only soveraignty in your souls? |
| A27047 | Hath he not told you, that he will say, In as much as ye did it to one of these little ones, ye did it unto me? |
| A27047 | Hath not God been merciful to thee in bearing with thee so long, and offering thee Grace in the blood of Christ, till thou didst wilfully reiect it? |
| A27047 | Hath the world ever gained by resisting Christ? |
| A27047 | Have not his word and service and sabbaths been a burthen to you? |
| A27047 | Have not multitudes ventured their lives against his Ordinances and Government? |
| A27047 | Have you not loathed this busie diligent serving of him? |
| A27047 | He served yous w th the weary labours of your fellow creature: and should you have grudged to bear his easie Yoak? |
| A27047 | He sufferered more then scorns forth you: and could not you suffer a scorn for i m and your selves? |
| A27047 | He told you it was an enemy that tempted you: and would you hearken to an enemy? |
| A27047 | How can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? |
| A27047 | How can you make shift to read such Texts, and not perceive that they speak to you? |
| A27047 | How canst thou live merrily, or sleep quietly in such a Condition, as if thou shouldst dye in it, thou shouldst perish for ever? |
| A27047 | How could I be saved if Christ d d not dye for me? |
| A27047 | How diligently should a Minister study? |
| A27047 | How do men make shift to quiet their Consciences in such gross hypocrisie? |
| A27047 | How easily now might they finde their mistake, if they would but be at the pains to examine themselves? |
| A27047 | How easily will Christ then evince his right in you, and convince you that it was your duty to have lived unto him? |
| A27047 | How familiar is he in their hearts to fill them with covetousness, malice, pride, or the like evils? |
| A27047 | How familiarly doth Satan use their tongues, in cursing, swearing, lying ribaldry, backbiting, or slandring? |
| A27047 | How many have been smitten with Herod in the midst of their vain glory? |
| A27047 | How many thousand of people hath it impoverished? |
| A27047 | How many thousands will then perish as his utter Enemies, that verily thought themselves his friends? |
| A27047 | How many, have been swallowed up like Pharaoh and his Host in their rash and malicious persuit of the godly? |
| A27047 | How much of your Estates yearly is serviceable to his interest? |
| A27047 | How much of your speech is for him? |
| A27047 | How much of your time do you spend for him? |
| A27047 | How often hath Christ warned us in the Gospel, that we be alwaies ready; because we know not the day or hour of his coming? |
| A27047 | How seldom and how neglectfully didst thou think of God? |
| A27047 | How then can a little misery on earth prevent it? |
| A27047 | How then canst thou expect the saving of thy soul against the determinate will and Way of God? |
| A27047 | How then should thy heart be affected that seeth the hand- writing of God as a summons to his barr? |
| A27047 | How then will the neglecters of Christ stand before him? |
| A27047 | I gave thee a family, and committed them to thy care to govern them for me, and fit them for my service: but how didst thou perform it? |
| A27047 | I know thou wilt confess it; and yet wilt thou not yield him thy chiefest love and obedience? |
| A27047 | I say, doth this man Believe that he is going to this Judgement? |
| A27047 | I shall leave it to the trial of another day, whether all the publike actions of this Age, with their effects, have been for God, or for self? |
| A27047 | I ● you say, Why can not God find out a remedy for this sin, as well as he did for the fi ● st? |
| A27047 | IX THE ninth part of our work, is to shew you, What are those frivolous excuses by which the unrighteous may then indeavour their defence? |
| A27047 | If Conscience should at any time ask,( Whose work are you now doing?) |
| A27047 | If God ask us, we must bear witness against you and say? |
| A27047 | If I shall tell you what you must do for preparation, shall I not lose my labour? |
| A27047 | If a little of this wrath do but seize upon thy body what cryes and groans and lamentations doth it raise? |
| A27047 | If any foolish Infidel shall say, Where shall so great a number stand? |
| A27047 | If custom bid thee curse and swear, and Christ forbid thee, which dost thou obey? |
| A27047 | If it be on one member, yea but a tooth, how dost thou roar with intolerable pain, and wouldst not take the world to live for ever in that condition? |
| A27047 | If it seize upon the Conscience, what torments doth it cause, as if the man were already in the suburbs of Hell? |
| A27047 | If we should be so foolish and unjust, what good would it do you? |
| A27047 | If you are devoted to God, what do you for him? |
| A27047 | If you are not your own, remember that nothing else is your own; what can be more your own then your selves? |
| A27047 | If you ask me wherein his interest of Christ doth consist? |
| A27047 | If you have the face to say, Lord, when did we see thee hungry? |
| A27047 | If you knew not better, who was it long of but your self? |
| A27047 | If you trust God, shew any word of Promise that ever he gave you to trust upon, that ever an Impenitent, Carnal ▪ Careless person shall be saved? |
| A27047 | Is a true Religion enough to save you, if you be not true to that Religion? |
| A27047 | Is death more terrible then Hell? |
| A27047 | Is he not an exellent person that denyeth himselfe, and doth all for God? |
| A27047 | Is his word thy Law which thou darest not pass? |
| A27047 | Is it all one to wrong you, and to wrong the God of Heaven? |
| A27047 | Is it better to be devoted to him, or to the flesh? |
| A27047 | Is it his business that you mind? |
| A27047 | Is it not incomparably more honourable to be Gods, then to be your own? |
| A27047 | Is it your selves that gives power to your food to nourish you? |
| A27047 | Is man more dreadful than God? |
| A27047 | Is not all his own? |
| A27047 | Is not he better and more Lovely then all these? |
| A27047 | Is not he worthy to go without it that thinks so basely of it? |
| A27047 | Is not that man even worse then mad, that is going to Gods Iudgement and never thinks of it? |
| A27047 | Is that a friend or a servant worthy to be regarded, that will disobey you ▪ or betray you as oft as he is tempted to it? |
| A27047 | Is there a man to be found in this Congregation, that will not confess that he is rightfully his Redeemers? |
| A27047 | Is there no godly Scholers that want means to maintain them at the Universities, to fit them for this Work? |
| A27047 | Is there no poor people that want the faithful preaching of the Gospel for want of means or other furtherance? |
| A27047 | Is this a matter to be forgotten? |
| A27047 | Is this the concluded Decree of Heaven? |
| A27047 | Is this the thanks that God hath for his mercies? |
| A27047 | It is thy sin that hurts thee, and not thy Saviour: why dost thou not rather strive against that? |
| A27047 | It was God that let loose the Devil to tempt me; and he was to subtile for me to deal with; and therefore what wonder if I sinned and were overcome? |
| A27047 | Look now upon all the course of thy life, and see whether thou didst live to me, or to the world and thy flesh? |
| A27047 | Look upon thy own heart now, and see whether it be a holy or an unholy heart, a spiritual or a fleshly heart; a heavenly or au earthly heart? |
| A27047 | Lord, what wouldst thou have me to do? |
| A27047 | MY next Question is, Whether are you ready for this dreadful Judgement when it comes, or not? |
| A27047 | MY next Question is, Whether you do ever soberly consider of this great day? |
| A27047 | MY next Question to you, is, How are you affected with the Consideration of this day? |
| A27047 | Many a time did we intreat them to try whether they were Regenerate or not? |
| A27047 | May not God and Conscience witness, that it was because you cared not for knowledge, and would not be at pains to get it, that you knew no more? |
| A27047 | May not I then hope to prevail with you, to devote your selves with the fruit of your Callings, and Possessions to his unquestionable service? |
| A27047 | Might not he have said to his Father, What are these worms and sinners to me? |
| A27047 | More particularly as to the business of the Day, what need I say more then in a word to apply this general Doctrine to your speciall Work? |
| A27047 | Must God either be Ignorant of what you will do, or else be the cause of it? |
| A27047 | Must I prepare thee a portion of the blood of my Son, and wilt not thou be perswaded now to drink it? |
| A27047 | Must I send my Son from my bosome to suffer for thee? |
| A27047 | Must the raw unexperienced Learner despise his book or Teacher, a oft as in his ignorance he thinks he meets with contradictions? |
| A27047 | Nor Christ that came purposely from heaven to reveal them? |
| A27047 | Nor could reconcile his own words, because you could not reconcile them? |
| A27047 | O Sirs, what shift do you make to keep your souls from Continual Terrours, as you as long remain unready for Judgement? |
| A27047 | O sirs, what a deal of care and labour do you lose? |
| A27047 | Objection, But must we not provide for our Families? |
| A27047 | Oh who among you can dwell with the devouring fire? |
| A27047 | Or Paul that heard and saw them? |
| A27047 | Or at least are you sure, that now you live not under the same Lord and Laws as the ungodly do? |
| A27047 | Or at least, Can thy Conscience witness thy longings, thy groans, thy prayers for a Christ? |
| A27047 | Or at least, did you not live near some that could Read? |
| A27047 | Or didst thou not rather sin against that knowledge which thou hadst? |
| A27047 | Or from a Theif or a Murderer? |
| A27047 | Or have the people been greater gainers by this, then their Kings? |
| A27047 | Or if you could, yet it was Gods Law, and not mens faults, that was made the Rule for you to live by: Will it excuse you that others are bad? |
| A27047 | Or might you not have minded these things even when you were about your labour, if you had but a heart to them? |
| A27047 | Or rathe ● have death, which is nothing, as the just eward of it? |
| A27047 | Or rather think him the more unfit for mercy? |
| A27047 | Or will you not? |
| A27047 | Or will you now set your selves with all your might, to make preparation for so great a day? |
| A27047 | See here thy own unholy soul; canst thou now say thou didst love me above all? |
| A27047 | Seing then that you are Gods, and his alone, is it not the most haynous theevery to rob him of his Right? |
| A27047 | Shall I say you are wiser then the People, and therefore that this Admonition is needless to you? |
| A27047 | Shall I seek my se ● f, while I am preaching of the everla ● ● ing misery of Self- seekers? |
| A27047 | Shall every man be false to God that hath any bait to entice him from him? |
| A27047 | Should not this Question be now put home, by every rational Hearer to his own heart? |
| A27047 | Should we lye, and say we did not? |
| A27047 | Sin is no Being: and shall men be damned for that which is nothing? |
| A27047 | Sirs, do you use when you are alone to think with your selves, how certain and how dreadful it will be? |
| A27047 | Speak truth, man in the presence of thy Judge; was thy heart and mind set upon it? |
| A27047 | THE next point in our method, is, to shew you, What will be the Evidence of the Cause? |
| A27047 | Talents to further his search into the secrets of nature: But am I pleading that Ministers may have more maintenance? |
| A27047 | Tell me, is it so, or not? |
| A27047 | That without holiness none should see God? |
| A27047 | The Question is only, Whether God have your hearts and lives? |
| A27047 | The fourth thing I promised, is to shew you, Why no other Priviledge or Power in the world can save him that doth not kiss the Son? |
| A27047 | The great, Question of the day will then be this, Whether you have bin heartily devoted to your Redeemer, and lived to him? |
| A27047 | The last question is, who they be that are& may be urged to glorifie God on this ground, that the hath bought them? |
| A27047 | The two and twentieth Excuse But I have not Power of myself to do any thing that is good: What can the creature do? |
| A27047 | There did but one spark fall upon England, and what a combustion hath it cast this Kingdom into? |
| A27047 | They that tryed them found them the very Joy and Delight of their souls; and why could not you do so? |
| A27047 | They were your slaves and drudges, and you refused to be his free servants and his Sons? |
| A27047 | Thou canst call it a Spirit, but knowst thou what a Spirit is? |
| A27047 | V. FOR the Fifth Particular, How will the sinners be called to the Bar? |
| A27047 | Was it not also prepared for wicked men? |
| A27047 | Was not a reason fecht from the love of God, from the evill of sin, the blood of Christ, the Judgement to come? |
| A27047 | Was there no more in Gods intention when he elected some, then the manifestation of the riches of his glorious grace? |
| A27047 | We must either condemn the Sentence of Jesus Christ, or condemn you: and is not there more reason to condemn you then him? |
| A27047 | Were not Ministers as earnest with you every week to repent and amend? |
| A27047 | What did men entice you with? |
| A27047 | What else have you to do, but to provide for everlasting? |
| A27047 | What hath England got by resisting his Gospel and Government, by hating his servants,& by scorning his holy waies? |
| A27047 | What have you got by it in this City? |
| A27047 | What hurt had it been to him if thou hadst perished? |
| A27047 | What if they threatned you with present Death? |

| A27047 | What if you had not wages but your work? |
| A27047 | What is all he world to him, but as a drop of a Bucket, as the dust of the ballance? |
| A27047 | What is their power to perform it? |
| A27047 | What is their task? |
| A27047 | What is this Divel That hath Angels? |
| A27047 | What matter can be mentioned with the Tongue of man of greater moment? |
| A27047 | What say you Sirs? |
| A27047 | What say you then, Sirs, in answer to my message? |
| A27047 | What say you? |
| A27047 | What say you? |
| A27047 | What should be first sought after? |
| A27047 | What then do you think are the Everlasting flames? |
| A27047 | What think you then? |
| A27047 | What would you have us say, if God ask us, Did you tell this sinner of the need of Christ, of the glory of the world to come, and the vanity of this? |
| A27047 | What wrath is it that will thus kindle and consume them? |
| A27047 | What? |
| A27047 | What? |
| A27047 | When was it prepared for them? |
| A27047 | Where dwelleth that man, or what was his name, that did neglect Christ, and yet escape damnation? |
| A27047 | Where the enquiry is made to be, whether they have fed and visited him in his members, or not? |
| A27047 | Whether the Lord in v. 11. and the Son in v. 12. be both meant of Christ the second person? |
| A27047 | Whether their souls were brought back to God by Sanctification? |
| A27047 | Who are those? |
| A27047 | Who can dwell with the everlasting burnings? |
| A27047 | Who can shew such title to the Soveraignty? |
| A27047 | Who hath hardned himself against him, and hath prospered? |
| A27047 | Who then is he that dare say it shall not be? |
| A27047 | Whom have I in heaven but thee? |
| A27047 | Why can not you recover your selves from sickness? |
| A27047 | Why did you not so far then agree with them? |
| A27047 | Why do you not rather take wrong and suffer your selves to be defrauded, then do wrong and defraud, and that your Brethren? |
| A27047 | Why doth he require this so earnestly at thy hands? |
| A27047 | Why is this kissing the Son,( that is loving, depending on, and submitting to him) the only way to escape these curses? |
| A27047 | Why what would you give now to know for certain how it shall then go with you? |
| A27047 | Why, what are the Kings and Rulers of the Earth, but lumps of Clay, that can speake and go? |
| A27047 | Will it comfort you more in the reckoning and review, to have laid out your selves for God, or for the World? |
| A27047 | Will you do no more than you have done hitherto? |
| A27047 | Will you kiss the Son, or will you sleight him stil? |
| A27047 | Will you not believe till you see or feel? |

| A27047 | Will you take this for a good Excuse from your children or servants it they abuse you? |
| A27047 | Will you then wish that you had done less for heaven, or for earth? |
| A27047 | Wilt thou stand to the Testimony of these Witnesses? |
| A27047 | Would you have us lye to God, and say we did not? |
| A27047 | Yea further, answer as in the presence of God: Didst thou obey so far as thou didst know? |
| A27047 | Yea when he that dyed for you, will condemn you, shall we be more merciful then God? |
| A27047 | Yea, and to do you no good, when we know that lyes will not prevail with God? |
| A27047 | Yea, did not the very plain Word that you heard read ▪ tell you of these things? |
| A27047 | You forget what helps he afforded you to discover the wiles of Satan, and to vanquish the Temptation? |
| A27047 | You have Ministers at hand: why do you not go to them, and earnestly ask them, Sir, What must I do to be saved? |
| A27047 | You see not God: will you not therefore Believe that there is a God? |
| A27047 | You that Christ hath given Authority to, shall then be accomptable, whether you improved it to his advantage? |
| A27047 | You that he hath given honor to, must then give account, whether you improved it to his honor? |
| A27047 | You will say, This is a common Errand: do you think we never heard of hrist before? |
| A27047 | You will then Remember, that to this end he both ● yed, rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the Dead and the Living? |
| A27047 | You would be afraid now to meet him in the dark; what will you be to live with him in everlasting darkness? |
| A27047 | an hours time for his worship in their families, or in secret? |
| A27047 | and all within you was in a carnal peace? |
| A27047 | and are you able to over reach them, and frustrate his designs? |
| A27047 | and bleed when thou shouldst bleed and dye when thou shouldst dye? |
| A27047 | and can he not govern it by true and righteous means? |
| A27047 | and command thy self and all thou hast? |
| A27047 | and could you not have procured them to read to you, or to help you? |
| A27047 | and devoted all to his dispose and service? |
| A27047 | and did you obey as much as you knew? |
| A27047 | and did you pray daily that God would lead you into the truth? |
| A27047 | and doth he not now deserve to be entertained with most affectionate respect? |
| A27047 | and doth he require no harder conditions then these for my salvation? |
| A27047 | and from licking up the vomit which Pagans have cast out? |
| A27047 | and from what? |
| A27047 | and give up their souls and lives to be governed by Christ? |
| A27047 | and hated them that most carefully seek him, more then the vilest drunkard or blaspemer? |
| A27047 | and his Laws that should rule us, be laid aside and be accounted too strict and precise for us to live by? |
| A27047 | and how many thousand bodies hath it bereaved of their souls? |
| A27047 | and is it not just with God to make these fiends their familiars in Torment, with whom they entertained such familiarity in sin? |
| A27047 | and might you not have had a Bible your selves, and found them there? |
| A27047 | and neglect him without whom you can not subsist? |
| A27047 | and now and then bethink your selves soberly, whether these are matters for wise men to make light of? |
| A27047 | and of whom? |
| A27047 | and resigned thy self and all to his will? |
| A27047 | and serve thy flesh and lusts, though I told thee if thou didst so thou shouldst dye? |
| A27047 | and that he was fain to rule the world by a Lye? |
| A27047 | and the Prince of darkness ruled in your souls? |
| A27047 | and the Revelation of his will to guide that Reason? |
| A27047 | and think much of all that thou didst therein? |
| A27047 | and to banish all thoughts of returning to God, and to quench every motion that tendeth to their recovery? |
| A27047 | and to suffer vile sinful dust to despise his mercy, and abuse his patience, and turn all his Creatures against him, without due punishment? |
| A27047 | and tremble at his word? |
| A27047 | and were you willing to know even those Truths that called you out to self- denyal, and that did put you on the ● ardest flesh displeasing duties? |
| A27047 | and what an excellent cure to the troublesome contentions of proud or malicious men? |
| A27047 | and what answer you mean to make at that day? |
| A27047 | and what course do you resolve upon? |
| A27047 | and what you shall do? |
| A27047 | and when didst thou receive it? |
| A27047 | and where was any surer ground for your confidence? |
| A27047 | and whether any pains can be too great in so needfull a work? |
| A27047 | and whether he that miscarrieth to save a labour, do not madly betray his soul unto perdition? |
| A27047 | and whether the world will be then as sweet as now? |
| A27047 | and whether time be no more worth to one that is so neer eternity, and must make so strict an account of his Hours? |
| A27047 | and whether we lived to him that bought us, or to our flesh? |
| A27047 | and will not promote it as far as is in their power? |
| A27047 | and with what price? |
| A27047 | and would you not believe Stephen that saw them? |
| A27047 | and yet art thou like a stock that neither heare''s nor fee ●''s? |
| A27047 | and yet canst thou over- reach the everlasting Counsels? |
| A27047 | and yet wouldst thou now perswade the Judge that thou didst love God above all? |
| A27047 | and your labour for that which satisfieth not? |
| A27047 | are thy speeches of him thy sweetest speeches? |
| A27047 | are you his, or are you not? |
| A27047 | but with a few cold thoughts instead of hearty love, and with a few formal words instead of worship? |
| A27047 | buy wine and milk without money or price: wherefore do you spend money for that which is not bread? |
| A27047 | can he not awe them by Truth? |
| A27047 | can we have any mercy on you, when he that made you will not save you, and he that formed you, will shew you no mercy? |
| A27047 | canst thou deny but thou didst love this world before me? |
| A27047 | dare you plead against him, that you expect should plead for you? |
| A27047 | did you Redeem your selves? |
| A27047 | did you know where was any better security to be had? |
| A27047 | do you love him above all things in this World? |
| A27047 | do you maintain and preserve your selves? |
| A27047 | do you not know? |
| A27047 | do you stick at your answer? |
| A27047 | do your souls cleave to him, and embrace him with the strongest of your affections? |
| A27047 | doth it bind thy thoughts, and rule thy tongue? |
| A27047 | doth it support them, and secure them and is not his Word sufficient security for you to have trusted your souls upon? |
| A27047 | for carryed a Bible? |
| A27047 | from what? |
| A27047 | hath God said it& wil he not do it? |
| A27047 | hath he paid for thy folly, and born that wrath of God which thou must have suffered for ever? |
| A27047 | have we need to spend our time and studies to perswade Christians from Bribery, Perjury and Oppresson? |
| A27047 | have you cause for such Fears; is be unfaithfull, or unable to performe his Promises? |
| A27047 | have you enough, or would you yet have more? |
| A27047 | have you yet done with your enmity and resistance? |
| A27047 | heaven or earth? |
| A27047 | how carelesly didst thou serve him? |
| A27047 | how coldly didst thou worship him, or make any mention of him? |
| A27047 | how earnestly should he perswade? |
| A27047 | how fast it is coming on? |
| A27047 | how many Houses and Towns hath it consumed? |
| A27047 | how many a soul that is now in heaven or hell, within a 1000 years dwelt in the places that you now dwel in, and sate in the seats you now sit in? |
| A27047 | how many children hath it left fatherless? |
| A27047 | how much more gainfully might your lives be improved? |
| A27047 | how much was laid out for the promoting of my glory? |
| A27047 | how much was laid out to further the Gospel, and to relieve the souls or the bodies of your brethren? |
| A27047 | how shall I know whether I be ready or not? |
| A27047 | how speedily is it come? |
| A27047 | how speedily ● how certainly will he do it? |
| A27047 | how unwearyedly should he bear all oppositions and ungrateful returns? |
| A27047 | how would you answer it? |
| A27047 | if they will cast themselves into the flames of Hell, must I go thither to fetch them out? |
| A27047 | if they will needs undo themselves, what is it to me? |
| A27047 | if thou didst but see what others do now suffer for neglecting him that doth now offer thee his grace; what wouldst thou then resolve to do? |
| A27047 | is it for any need hat he hath of thee, or of thy service, or because thou hast need of him for thy direction or salvation? |
| A27047 | is it for thy hurt, or for thy good? |
| A27047 | is it not better to live to God then to man? |
| A27047 | is not purity better then impurity? |
| A27047 | is there any hurt to thee in all this? |
| A27047 | must I be at so much cost to save thee, and wilt thou not obey that thou maist be saved? |
| A27047 | must I debase my self to become man, because they would have exalted themseves to become as God? |
| A27047 | must I smart for their folly? |
| A27047 | must I suffer when they have sineed? |
| A27047 | must he groan when thou shouldst groan? |
| A27047 | must he have the naked title of thy Lord and Saviour, while thy fleshly pleasures and profits have thy heart? |
| A27047 | must he so beseech thee to be happy, and follow thee with entreaties? |
| A27047 | nor no enemies to Caesar, but Christ and his friends? |
| A27047 | nor no troublers of Israel, but Elias? |
| A27047 | or a man should pluck you by the sleeve, and say,( Sir, Whose Cause are you now pleading?) |
| A27047 | or come to Church? |
| A27047 | or cryed, Lord, Lord? |
| A27047 | or desire judgement( as the Jews) against your Lord and Judge? |
| A27047 | or did it bring upon them the destruction wich they thought to avoid? |
| A27047 | or do you disclaim it? |
| A27047 | or how he will use you or dispose of you? |
| A27047 | or how they may be ready for their great approaching change? |
| A27047 | or might have done if you would? |
| A27047 | or rather only what it is not; Thou knowest not that whereby thou knowest; and how was thy body formed in the womb? |
| A27047 | or to your carnal selves? |

| A27047 | or who have called themselves by the name of Christians? |
| A27047 | or who that? |
| A27047 | perhaps you have been enemies to Christ under the name of Christians: Will you be so still? |
| A27047 | resolvedly, unreservedly, and constantly His? |
| A27047 | shall Christ be your love, and your Lord, or not? |
| A27047 | shall God, and his Ministers speak in vain? |
| A27047 | shall every Murderer or Theif escape hanging, because the Devil was too cunning for him in his Temptations? |
| A27047 | shall he escape by telling the Judge that his sin was Nothing? |
| A27047 | should you not have served him that so liberally maintained you? |
| A27047 | such right to rule thee as Christ can do? |
| A27047 | that he should love you, depend on you and be subject to you? |
| A27047 | that time, and study, and love and labour? |
| A27047 | their time, their strength, and their interest? |
| A27047 | to any that hath more right to it or better deserves it, or will better reward you then he will do? |
| A27047 | to the Air, to cool and recreate your spirits? |
| A27047 | to the Earth to bear you, and furnish you with necessar ● es? |

| A27047 | were you afraid of being a loser by it? |
| A27047 | what an answer will it afford them against all sollicitations from carnal self or importunate friends? |
| A27047 | what causeth that order and( diversity of its parts? |
| A27047 | what honour to your now reproached Profession? |
| A27047 | what is a little time when it is gone? |
| A27047 | what is that vital heat and moisture? |
| A27047 | what need God to say that which he will not do, to awe sinners? |

| A27047 | what would he have lost by it if thou hadst lain in Hell? |
| A27047 | what would you do now, if it were all to do again?] |
| A27047 | what would you then say to such a Question? |
| A27047 | when God is against you, whose side would you have us be of? |
| A27047 | when thou awakest, art thou still with him, and is he next thy heart? |
| A27047 | when thou walkest abroad, dost thou take him in thy thoughts? |
| A27047 | when will the most expert Anatomists and Physitians be agreed? |

| A27047 | who bought us? |
| A27047 | who maketh it his Fear and his Joy? |
| A27047 | whose are they? |
| A27047 | why might not that at least have been spent about Heavenly things? |
| A27047 | why then did not these take as much with you as the other? |
| A27047 | will God punish one sin twice? |
| A27047 | will he so highly honour me, as to be his subject and his servant, and to be guided by such a blessed and perfect Law? |
| A27047 | will he suffer himself to be embraced by those arms which have been defiled so oft by the embracements of sin? |
| A27047 | will not that blessedness pay you to the full? |
| A27047 | will nothing unite disjoyned Christians, but their own blood? |
| A27047 | will you abuse him, by whom it is that you are men? |
| A27047 | will you excuse your child or friend, if he would be false to you, upon as great enticements as these? |
| A27047 | will you hereafter be His? |
| A27047 | will you live to his dishonor who giveth you your Lives? |
| A27047 | will you not hear so loud and constant calls? |
| A27047 | will you not see so great a Light? |
| A27047 | will you repent when you come to heaven, that you did too much to get it? |
| A27047 | will you speak to his dishonor ▪ that giveth you your speech? |
| A27047 | will you therefore wrong God, because you see others wrong him? |
| A27047 | will you wrong him by his own creatures? |
| A27047 | with a little deluding fleshly pleasure for a few daies? |
| A27047 | would he draw thee as Satan doth to serve him, that he may torment thee? |
| A27047 | would he make a prey of thee for his own advantage? |
| A27047 | would he steal away thy heart as the world doth to delude it? |
| A27047 | would not Justice have been glorified upon a disobedient wretch? |
| A27047 | would you have beleived one from the dead that had told you he had seen such things? |
| A27047 | would you have the Jury or the Judge to take this for a good excuse? |
| A27047 | would you make as light of it as now you do? |
| A27047 | would you spit in the face of your own Father, if you saw others do so? |
| A27047 | would you think it a good excuse: if the rest should do the like, because of their example? |
| A27047 | would you use a friend thus? |
| A27047 | wouldst thou rather displease thy dearest friend, the greatest Prince, or thine own flesh, then wittingly provoke him? |
| A27047 | you have the Bible,& other good books by you; why do you out read them? |
| A27047 | ● are your minds taken up with these considerations? |
| A27047 | ● hat was there but your own wicked hearts that should make such a life seem grievous to you? |
| A26905 | & c. Dare you take all this for your portion if you had it? |
| A26905 | ( O but how long will they do so?) |
| A26905 | 1, 2,& c. and abundance such in the word of God: And yet are you not afraid of worldliness or sensuality? |
| A26905 | 10. will you tell him that he exalteth himself against Grace? |
| A26905 | 21. and to bring them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God? |
| A26905 | A beast may have his sensual delight as well as you? |
| A26905 | A toad abhorreth not the company of a toad; but shall not a man abhor it? |
| A26905 | Also I would know, Are you certainly acquainted with their particular estates? |
| A26905 | And Consider what it hath done for them all? |
| A26905 | And I pray you tell me, Do you think that the works in which they differ from you are good or bad? |
| A26905 | And I pray you tell me, Whether you do not your selves believe that a sober, temperate, heavenly Christian doth live as comfortable a life as you? |
| A26905 | And I would desire you to tell me, if covetousness be among them, Whether you are able to charge it upon their Religion or Profession? |
| A26905 | And are these men Crucified to the world? |
| A26905 | And as for the improvement of their talents for God, What is to be seen? |
| A26905 | And be of that mind which then you must condemn your selves? |
| A26905 | And can you do this, when you love and delight in the world above him, or in opposition to him? |
| A26905 | And can you expect mercy and salvation, that wilfully and knowingly do set your selves against it, and reject it? |
| A26905 | And can you see no difference between a Worldly action, and a Worldly life? |
| A26905 | And can your reputation be less then none? |
| A26905 | And do you think it is not as bad and as dangerous to do so, as to say so? |
| A26905 | And do you think that he will take this for a good account? |
| A26905 | And do you think that this is a sin to be endured? |
| A26905 | And dost thou think that thou art sufficient for thy self? |
| A26905 | And have you performed that vow? |
| A26905 | And he that could challenge them,[ which of you convinceth me of sin?] |
| A26905 | And how can money be better husbanded? |
| A26905 | And how then can you believe the word of God, which so often telleth you, what a hinderance Riches and Honours are to mens salvation? |
| A26905 | And if man be better then a beast, do you think he is not capable of a better and higher delight then beasts? |
| A26905 | And if thou hast received it, why shouldst thou glory as if thou hadst not received it? |
| A26905 | And if ye salu ● e your brethren only, what do you more then others? |
| A26905 | And if you be Poor, what an impatient complaining life do you live? |
| A26905 | And is Christ worth no more, then to be sold with Judas for so base a price? |
| A26905 | And is a state of such uncertain tenure so valuable? |
| A26905 | And is it a dishonour to Christ to acknowledge him in us, and to say that we Live by him? |
| A26905 | And is it not Necessary to your salvation that you be delivered from the enemies of your salvation? |
| A26905 | And is it possible for a man to be a Christian indeed, that so far mistaketh the very Nature and Ends of Christianity it self? |
| A26905 | And is such a man fit to live in his sight? |
| A26905 | And is that all? |
| A26905 | And is the case so altered think you now, as that you are bound to make such children rich, that parents then were bound to put to death? |
| A26905 | And is this a benefit to rejoyce in? |
| A26905 | And is this a matter of so great worth? |
| A26905 | And is this thy requital of him? |
| A26905 | And may we not observe and glory in that mercy, that enableth us to give God the glory of all mercies? |
| A26905 | And must it not be so then to villifie or not to magnifie the works of the Sanctifyer? |
| A26905 | And must not a people so holy, and peculiar, adore and hallow the Lord in his works? |
| A26905 | And seeing all this is so, doth it not concern us all to make a speedy tryal of our selves in preparation to this final tryal? |
| A26905 | And shall we not glory in that which is beloved of God? |
| A26905 | And should you not look on that which will be, even as if it were already? |
| A26905 | And then the thing that I would know of you is, Which be the Saints of God, if these be not; and where shall we find them? |
| A26905 | And these sensual and covetous idolators must be asked,[ Whom will you match with God? |
| A26905 | And what God will judge of you, if you so continue? |
| A26905 | And what doth that man deserve that would, as to the use, destroy all the world, and frustrate all Gods works both of Creation and Redempion? |
| A26905 | And what is it that hath the prevalent stream of your desires and endeavours? |
| A26905 | And what the matter of your chiefest care? |
| A26905 | And what then do these men do, but sell their salvation for the vanities of the world? |
| A26905 | And what wonder if the house be robbed, where the doors stand alwaies open, and all is common to every passenger? |
| A26905 | And what''s a Spiritual house for, but the habitation of the Lord, and the performance of his service? |
| A26905 | And when Christ doth so vehemently disswade his followers from this damning sin, he doth it by setting a Law upon their Thoughts: Why take ye Thought? |
| A26905 | And when Christ hath shed his blood to Absolve them, whether is it likely that he will take it well at them that vilifie them? |
| A26905 | And when Iesus saw that he was sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the Kingdom of God?] |
| A26905 | And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have Riches enter into the Kingdom of God? |
| A26905 | And when the flesh or carnal Reason saith,[ Will you cast away your comforts, your peace, your happiness, your lives? |
| A26905 | And whether this which you allow, be all that he this way requireth or expecteth? |
| A26905 | And whether you are in the way to Heaven or Hell? |
| A26905 | And who is it that will have the loss of this but your selves? |
| A26905 | And who would now prepare such misery for themselves, and glut themselves with that which they can no better digest or bear? |
| A26905 | And why are mourners blessed? |
| A26905 | And why have you professed since to stand to that Covenant? |
| A26905 | And will no warning serve you? |
| A26905 | And will you feed and surfeit again upon the creature? |
| A26905 | And will you neglect an holy life, and shut your selves out of heaven, and damn your own souls, because you think professors are bad? |
| A26905 | And will you overlook him, and forget the end and use of all? |
| A26905 | And will you overlook the Divine Nature, and refuse to honour it, and this on pretence, that it is a wrong to Christ? |
| A26905 | And will you pretend to honour Christ without you, and deny him his honour within you, even because he is within you? |
| A26905 | And will you repose your selves in the thoughts of such? |
| A26905 | And will you so far lay by your reason, as to go against the Experience of all the world? |
| A26905 | And will you trouble your selves, and ruine your poor souls, for such a fleeting transitory thing? |
| A26905 | And wish you had more regarded the durable Riches? |
| A26905 | And yet will you stick to it? |
| A26905 | And you know that it is Christ that requireth you to forsake all that you have for him; and dare you say that Christ commandeth you to be fools? |
| A26905 | And, Whether they have not more peace in their minds without your sinful sensual delights, then you have with them? |
| A26905 | Are his precepts of Mortification and Self- denyal imprinted in your hearts, and predominant in your lives? |
| A26905 | Are not those taken for your chief friends, that further your advancement or worldly Ends? |
| A26905 | Are not your thoughts contriving for it, and your wit and interest all improved for it? |
| A26905 | Are the dead so solicitous? |
| A26905 | Are these the signs of enmity to the world? |
| A26905 | Are they for Heaven or Earth? |
| A26905 | Are they godly men that admire you and speak well of you? |
| A26905 | Are they learned men that extoll you? |
| A26905 | Are you acquainted with their bestowings? |
| A26905 | Are you famous for Learning? |
| A26905 | Are you publick mercies to the place where you live? |
| A26905 | Are you taken up with the hopes of a more plentifull estate? |
| A26905 | Are you tempted to set by the riches and full provision or possessions of the world? |
| A26905 | As the churlish Israelite asked Moses( the Prophet like Christ) so must we do the flesh and world; Who made thee a Ruler over us? |
| A26905 | Ask your family whether you do not ofter call them up to work then to pray? |
| A26905 | Ask your neighbours whether you talk not with them many hours of worldly vanities, for one hours serious discourse about the life to come? |
| A26905 | But Grace doth not make men stocks or stupid, and therefore how can we chuse but feel? |
| A26905 | But consider impartially in the fear of God, whether you make an equal distribution? |
| A26905 | But how few are they that will allow God such a Proportion of their estates? |
| A26905 | But if thou must have a God, what God wouldst thou have? |
| A26905 | But if we could teach them all to be Princes, or Lords, or Gentlemen, yea or but to get a few shillings more then they have, none would draw back? |
| A26905 | But if you do purpose to Repent, I would further ask you, Do you think that is a right mind, or a wise course which must be Repented of? |
| A26905 | But if you say, It is the Life you judge by, I demand, what is it in the lives of such men that proves their covetousness? |
| A26905 | But if you say, you have no such intent; I further ask, Why then do you do it? |
| A26905 | But knock off his fetters, and how easily will he go? |
| A26905 | But may not a man go to Law to recover his own, or to right his own Reputation, if he be slandered? |
| A26905 | But may we not use the creatures for Delight, as well as for Necessity? |
| A26905 | But must we not honour the gifts of God? |
| A26905 | But perhaps you''l say, How should I do that? |
| A26905 | But what are these to him that takes the approbation and applauses of the world, but as a blast of wind? |
| A26905 | But what have you to stop your ears when the world is dead? |
| A26905 | But what is it then that we may not Glory in? |
| A26905 | But what man living is such as you here describe? |
| A26905 | But what should we do to be so habitually apprehensive that the world is our enemy? |
| A26905 | But what will this move him, that looketh on it as on the dirt in the streets? |
| A26905 | But when the world is Crucified to you, what hath he to entice you with? |
| A26905 | But would you draw men to despise Dignities and Authority? |
| A26905 | But yet I would further be informed of you; To what end is it that you make this objection? |
| A26905 | By this means you may prevent a sharper tryal If you are afraid of Conscience, how much more should you be afraid of God? |
| A26905 | Can God or the world do more with you? |
| A26905 | Can faith save him? |
| A26905 | Can it be a wrong to Christ, to rejoyce in that without which we can do nothing but wrong him? |
| A26905 | Can not you tell? |
| A26905 | Can you conquer, while you are conquered? |
| A26905 | Can you have while at the door of Eternity to hunc after the delights of the flesh, and study after the prosperity of this world? |
| A26905 | Can you keep your affections as loose from the world, when you have houses and lands and all things at your will, as you could if it were otherwise? |
| A26905 | Can you not truly say that the world is Crucified to you, and that you look on it but as a Carkass; as an empty, lifeless, and unsatisfactory thing? |
| A26905 | Can you say that they shall be yours this time twelve- moneth? |
| A26905 | Can you tell me but what it is that you would have, if you had your wish? |
| A26905 | Can you tell me what it is that is your very Business in the world? |
| A26905 | Can you think to find that by it that no man ever found before you? |
| A26905 | Can you tice a wise man by pins and counters, as you may do a child? |
| A26905 | Can you truly say, that God hath more of your Heart then all the world, and Heaven is dearer to your thoughts then earth? |
| A26905 | Canst thou live a day without God? |
| A26905 | Canst thou relieve or shift for thy self at death without him? |
| A26905 | Canst thou save thy self from danger without him? |
| A26905 | Come nearer and consider what it is that you admire? |
| A26905 | Dare you quit your hopes of the life to come for such a portion? |
| A26905 | Darest thou tell him so to his face? |
| A26905 | Dic mi ● i, saith Bernard, ubi sunt amatores mundi, qui ante pau ● a t ● n p ● … nobiscum fuerunt? |
| A26905 | Did he not therefore die for all, that they which Live, should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him that dyed for them, and rose again? |
| A26905 | Did it ever save a soul? |
| A26905 | Did it hang him up among Malefactors: and will it set you on a throne, or dandle you in its lap? |
| A26905 | Did it pierce his side, and will it heal your wounds? |
| A26905 | Did it reach him Gall and Vinegar, and will it reach you milk and honey? |
| A26905 | Did you ever hear us preach for covetousness? |
| A26905 | Did you not renounce the flesh, the world and the Devil in your Baptism? |
| A26905 | Do I need to perswade the humble so far as they are humble, not to be proud of their own graces or works? |
| A26905 | Do not the Books which they read do so too? |
| A26905 | Do not the Sermons which they hear and repeat cry it down? |
| A26905 | Do others bow to you, and have you power to crush them or exalt them at your pleasure? |
| A26905 | Do these men glory only in the Cross of Christ, and is the world by it crucified to them, and they to the world? |
| A26905 | Do they all cry out against it as Vanity, and yet will you take no warning? |
| A26905 | Do they earnestly perswade their servants to study holy things? |
| A26905 | Do they not lament and bewail it as long as they live after? |
| A26905 | Do they not read these passages as well as others in their Bibles? |
| A26905 | Do they not witness against it as much as any people in the world? |
| A26905 | Do they shew a vehement hatred of sin, and go before their families in an heavenly conversation? |
| A26905 | Do you disclaim your Christianity in the open light, and yet say that you intend no such thing? |
| A26905 | Do you expect that it should bring you to heaven? |
| A26905 | Do you hate your salvation, that you so love the hinderers of it? |
| A26905 | Do you long to have more duty, and danger, and a double account? |
| A26905 | Do you look after the favour of great ones? |
| A26905 | Do you love to have your salvation hindered or hazarded? |
| A26905 | Do you not feel that you are Crucified to the world, and your desires after it are languid and life- less? |
| A26905 | Do you not feel your selves that the world is the clog of your souls? |
| A26905 | Do you not hear them all cry out of the world, as a worthless thing? |
| A26905 | Do you not ordinarily confess that the world is vain, and yet will you shew your selves such Dissemblers, as to love and seek it more then God? |
| A26905 | Do you not rise earlyer for your worldly business, then for prayer or any holy exercise? |
| A26905 | Do you not see how little good it can then do them? |
| A26905 | Do you not still Profess that heaven is best, and God is to be preferred, and yet will you not do it, but let your own Professions condemn you? |
| A26905 | Do you now think it folly to renounce and forsake them all for Christ? |
| A26905 | Do you think if any of them miscarry, it is because they are too much Religious; or rather, because they are too little? |
| A26905 | Do you think that God doth envy you your happiness, or that he would take the world from you, because he esteemeth it too good for you? |
| A26905 | Do you think that God doth not as strictly require the one as the other? |
| A26905 | Do you think that this is a reasonable course to be ventured on in so great a matter? |
| A26905 | Do you think verily, that it will make you truly happy? |
| A26905 | Do you think you shall then extoll the world, and count them fools that will be perswaded to forsake it? |
| A26905 | Do you understand what is meant by this, that, To the pure all things are pure; and that all things are sanctified to us? |
| A26905 | Doth it excuse you that the world hath so lovely an aspect? |
| A26905 | Doth not the Bible which they read cry it down, and threaten damnation to it? |
| A26905 | Doth not this proclaim that you are wilful sinners? |
| A26905 | Doth not this world take up the most of your care, and strength, and time? |
| A26905 | Doth that make them no mercies: Or rather make them the greater mercies? |
| A26905 | Especially when it is the end which the other do tend to, and that without which we are uncapable of sincere magnifying either Creation or Redemption? |
| A26905 | For how know you mens hearts, but by their professions, or by their lives? |
| A26905 | For many shall say, Lord have we not preached in thy name? |
| A26905 | For the Heart is open to none but God; and will you make your selves Gods; and that when you are playing the part of the Devil? |
| A26905 | Furthermore I would know; Are you sure it is not Satan within you that prompteth you to these accusations? |
| A26905 | Gentlemen, do you know indeed, what it is that you make so great a stir for? |
| A26905 | HOW long can you say that you shall keep the Riches and Honours which you possess? |
| A26905 | Had you not rather bear a smaller measure, and taste of a cup that hath less of the ga ● ●? |
| A26905 | Hath God given you but a short uncertain life, and laid your everlasting life upon it; and will you cast all away upon these transitory delights? |
| A26905 | Hath it not put you to more care and sorrow then it is worth? |
| A26905 | Hath not God chosen the poor of this world, rich in faith, to be heirs of the Kingdom, which he hath promised to them that love him? |
| A26905 | Hath not God done more for you then ever the world did? |
| A26905 | Have not the best of us as much reason as Iob to make a Covenant with our eyes? |
| A26905 | Have these men Crucified the world indeed? |
| A26905 | Have you Ministers, and holy Ordinances, and Christian Communion, in the purest order? |
| A26905 | Have you Nobility of birth? |
| A26905 | Have you abundance of earthly Riches, and provision for your flesh? |
| A26905 | Have you abundant and excellent means of grace? |

| A26905 | Have you the pleasantest meats or drinks that your appetite desires? |
| A26905 | He hath but one Trinity of enemies, the flesh, the world, and the Devil; and wilt thou turn to these, and forsake him by whom thou livest? |
| A26905 | He that would kill a man deserveth death; What then deserveth he that would destroy all the world? |
| A26905 | How Honourable then would our Parliaments be, and how chearfully should we flock together for their Election? |

| A26905 | How can we convert, or heal, or save you, without you? |
| A26905 | How coldly and cursorily are family prayers and other duties slubbered over? |

| A26905 | How then can I say that I am crucified to the world? |
| A26905 | How then would our Princes and Nobles be both Loved and Honoured, when their Addictedness to God did make them so Divine? |
| A26905 | How unlike are you to the Antient Christians, that forsook all and followed Christ, and lived in a Community of Charity? |
| A26905 | How unlike are you to your Profession and your Covenant with God? |
| A26905 | How will you answer this dishonour done to the workmanship of God? |
| A26905 | I beseech you consider well, Why you forsake Christ, and why you will destroy your selves, before you do it past remedy? |
| A26905 | I beseech you tell me, What think you that you shall then say? |
| A26905 | I can not spend it and have it too] You know what you have now; but what shall you have hereafter to all eternity? |
| A26905 | I have shewed you all things, how that so Labouring ye ought to support the weak? |
| A26905 | I marvail these men will not see their own faces, when the Prophets and Christ himself do hold them so clear a glass? |
| A26905 | I pray you tell me what it is? |
| A26905 | I pray you tell me; do you think that a sufficient Portion which the Devil himself would give you if he could, or is willing you should have? |
| A26905 | I wonder when God will speak so plain, for abounding in Good works, as that hypocrites and worldlings will be able to understand him? |
| A26905 | If I be a Master, where is my fear?] |
| A26905 | If a man come into your family, what shall he see but worldliness? |
| A26905 | If a man should deprive you but of a few pounds, you can hardly put it up; but you must go to Law for it, or you must seek revenge? |
| A26905 | If a poor man, though never so wise or pious, have any business with you, how cold is his entertainment? |
| A26905 | If indeed the world be Crucified to you, what meaneth your eager pursuit after it? |
| A26905 | If it be not wise and right, why will you now retain it, yea and wilfully maintain it, against the perswasions of God and man? |

| A26905 | If one fall into your company, what shall he hear from you, but about this world? |
| A26905 | If one man had all the money in the Land, and could secure it, and the disposal of it from violence, what might not that man do? |
| A26905 | If one slander you, or dishonour you, how sensible are you of it? |
| A26905 | If the Lord himself should ask both Plaintiff and Defendant, Do you follow this suit for Me, or for your selves? |
| A26905 | If the Sun, and Moon, and Stars were yours, would you exchange them for a lump of clay? |
| A26905 | If the breath of a thousand applaud you now, perhaps a million may reproach you when you are dead? |
| A26905 | If the world be Crucified to you, How comes it to pass that you are so tenderly sensible of every loss or dishonour that doth befall you? |
| A26905 | If the world be better then God in prosperity, what makes you call upon God in adversity? |
| A26905 | If then there should be covetous ones among them, what''s this to Religion which teacheth them to abhor it? |
| A26905 | If then you return to the world which you renounced, you forsake your Christianity: Had you rather forsake the world, or Christ? |
| A26905 | If therefore you will still say, You hope you may keep both: What do you less then give God the lye? |
| A26905 | If they deceive, or lie, or oppress, do not you do so: But will you therefore refuse your duty to God; and therefore destroy your own souls? |
| A26905 | If they want any thing, what trouble are their minds i ● till their wants be supplyed? |
| A26905 | If ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous Mammon, who will commit to your trust the true Riches? |
| A26905 | If you are dead to the world, how comes it to pass that it hath so powerful an influence upon your judgements? |
| A26905 | If you are wronged in your estate, what a matter do you make of it? |
| A26905 | If you do not, why did you in your Baptism renounce it, and promise to fight against it? |
| A26905 | If you do, you know whom to blame when you are deprived of it? |
| A26905 | If you have admonished them and they repent not, why do you not tell the Pastors of the Church that they may admonish them and seek their reformation? |
| A26905 | If you know some few to be such, what is that to the rest? |
| A26905 | If you love those that love you, what Reward have you? |
| A26905 | If you meet a man upon the way, and ask him, whether he is going? |
| A26905 | If you say, What is all this to us? |
| A26905 | If you see any man at work, and ask him what he is doing, and why he doth it? |
| A26905 | If you think not your present condition better for you then heaven, why do you choose and prefer it? |
| A26905 | If you would know whether you are Christians indeed and shall be saved, the first and great question is, What is your End? |
| A26905 | In such a friend as God Almighty, that can rebuke your diseases by a word? |
| A26905 | In what respects is it that the world must be Crucified to us? |
| A26905 | Is Christ ever the less Christ, because he dwels in the hearts of Believers? |
| A26905 | Is God or the world, Heaven or earth, thus highlyest esteemed by you? |
| A26905 | Is a beast any more unlike a man, then your hearts and lives are unlike Christs Laws? |
| A26905 | Is all his? |
| A26905 | Is idle worldly discourse a better sign of a Saint, then keeping holy the Lords day, and labouring for salvation? |
| A26905 | Is ignorance of the Scripture, or neglecting it a greater sign of a Saint, then meditating in it day and night? |
| A26905 | Is it all or some of them that you thus accuse? |
| A26905 | Is it fitter for God or you, to determine how many talents you shall be entrusted with? |
| A26905 | Is it for God? |
| A26905 | Is it for heaven or earth? |
| A26905 | Is it for this world or the world to come? |
| A26905 | Is it just or pious that Christ should lose the honour of his mercies, meerly because he hath bestowed them on us? |
| A26905 | Is it not Greatness more then Innocency that saves abundance of you from shame and punishment? |
| A26905 | Is it not Necessary then that you discern your errour, and be brought into your right way, and spend not your time and pains for nothing? |
| A26905 | Is it not in your mind in the night when you awake, and in the day when you are alone? |
| A26905 | Is it not pitty and shame, that you should thus turn Mercies themselves into sin, and draw your bane from that which might have been a blessing? |
| A26905 | Is it not the great Deceiver of the Nations? |
| A26905 | Is it not then evident, that other mens sins should move you to be the more Religious and careful of your selves, and not the less? |
| A26905 | Is it not with a desire to have a life of holy diligence despised in the world, or thought evil of, or judged needless? |
| A26905 | Is it popular applause that you so much regard; and doth it tickle you to hear of your own commendations? |
| A26905 | Is it so, or is it not Sirs? |
| A26905 | Is it the Hearts or the Outward actions of these professors that you perceive this covetousness by? |
| A26905 | Is it the course of their lives that you judge by? |
| A26905 | Is it your children that you set your hearts upon, in inordinate Love or Care? |
| A26905 | Is not that mans belly his God, that will bestow a more costly sacrifice on his belly then he will do on God? |
| A26905 | Is not that the most sinful and dangerous state, where God hath least of the heart, and the creature hath most? |
| A26905 | Is not that the wisest way which he requireth? |
| A26905 | Is not this the way to dry up the streams of Mercy, when the more you have, the worse you are? |
| A26905 | Is our heavenly birth- right a thing so base, or the promise of our immortal Crown so uncertain, as to be parted with on Esau''s terms? |
| A26905 | Is this loving their neighbours as themselves, and doing as they would be done by? |
| A26905 | It is not for nothing that Christ himself hath given you so many and so terrible warnings to take heed of this sin? |
| A26905 | It s God that commandeth it, and God you owe it to: And will you abuse God and rob him, because you have hard conceits of men? |
| A26905 | Lastly, I would advise you to consider, Whether God that justifieth his servants, will suffer you to condemn them? |
| A26905 | Look back in any credible Records, to the beginning of the world, and down to this day, and tell me where is the man that is made happy by the world? |
| A26905 | Look on the corpses of your deceased friends, and think now, Whether the soul be ever the better for all the riches and pleasures of the world? |
| A26905 | Look up to that Cross of Christ, and see the enmity of the world unto your Head: And will you take it for your friend? |
| A26905 | MY next Question is this, Do you ever mean to Repent of your fleshly and worldly- mindedness, or not? |
| A26905 | MY next Question to you is this: How do you think you shall value the world, when it is parting from you? |
| A26905 | MY next ▪ Question is, What hath the world done for any other, that should perswade you to set so much by it as you do? |
| A26905 | MY second Question to you is this: You that are so loath to part with the world and be Crucified to it, tell me, What hath it done for you? |
| A26905 | Me thinks you should be willing; when you see the Question is as great, as Whether you are Christians indeed or not? |
| A26905 | Moreover I would know of you, when you accuse men for not being more bountiful in your eyes, Do you know of all their works of charity? |
| A26905 | Must God advance you highest, and will you thrust him lowest in your heart? |
| A26905 | Must he feed you with the best, and cloath you with the best, and will you put him off with the worst? |
| A26905 | Must we indeed give over caring? |
| A26905 | Nay you do wrong, and defraud, and that your Brethren: Know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God?] |
| A26905 | Nay, if he be not God, how should he save them, or how should he make them happy, if he be not their chiefest Good? |
| A26905 | No, they have then no list to them, then they have other things to think of: And why not now as well as then? |
| A26905 | None of them would ask us, By what Authority do you send for us? |
| A26905 | Nothing before all things? |
| A26905 | Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to Law one with another: Why do ye not rather take wrong? |
| A26905 | O Remember, how little matter it is ▪ Whether you go poor or rich to the grave? |
| A26905 | O Sirs, if the world be Crucified to you, how can it have such power over you, as to cause you to neglect your greatest Lord, and your immortal souls? |
| A26905 | O how easie is it to hear your sin and danger from such a worm as I? |
| A26905 | O how hard is it to have the world at will, and not to be ensnared by it and over- love it? |
| A26905 | O how much better a portion might you have had, if you had not refused or neglected it when you had your choice? |
| A26905 | O what a carkaise, what a shadow is it in their eyes? |
| A26905 | O what work would the preaching of the Gospel make in the world, if there were not a worldly principle within, to strive against it? |
| A26905 | O who would love that, and love it at so dear a rate, which can not help you in the time of your necessity? |
| A26905 | O with what grief and tearing of heart do earthly minded persons part with the world? |
| A26905 | Obj But is it possible that godly men can be guilty of such sins as these? |
| A26905 | Oh how much more cause have you to glory in such a friend as Christ, that will save you from sin, and wrath, and Hell? |
| A26905 | Oh then what a carkaise will all the glory of the world appear? |
| A26905 | Oh with what ease and freedom of mind may you converse with God in holy Ordinances, when you are once dis ● entangled from this snare? |
| A26905 | Or Peter did deny his Master in his fear? |
| A26905 | Or eating and drinking, because men do consume by some disease? |
| A26905 | Or is there any comparison to be made between them? |
| A26905 | Or make them tend to the cure of your souls? |
| A26905 | Or whither will you go? |
| A26905 | Or will you judge of the course of their lives by one action, which they bewail and lament as long as they live? |
| A26905 | Or will you reward that souldier that will withdraw from the Army into a corner, when he should be fighting? |
| A26905 | Or will you say, that such as you are the Saints, that reproach holiness, and refuse to lead an holy life? |
| A26905 | Perhaps the favour of some great men might bestow it on them at first without desert? |
| A26905 | Quo mihi innumerabiles libros& bibliothecas, quorum Dominus vix tota vita sua indices perlegit? |
| A26905 | Read over his Life, and Read your own, and judge whether any man on earth, be more unlike to Christ, then a voluptuous, worldly Gentleman? |
| A26905 | Saith Augustine, Ecce mundus turbat,& amatur ▪ quid si, tranquill us esset? |
| A26905 | See how it used him: and will you expect that it should deal contrarily with you? |
| A26905 | Shall Christ purchase a Kingdom at the price of his blood, and offer it us freely, and shall we prefer the life of a bruit before it? |
| A26905 | Shall his grace be villified, because he makes thy soul the subject of it? |
| A26905 | Shall the world this day be Crucified to you, and you to it? |
| A26905 | Shall your bodies have it, and your souls have none, or but a little? |
| A26905 | Should you think you merit by denying merit? |
| A26905 | So that most of us have need of the counsel which the Bishop of Colen gave the Emperour Sigismund that askt him, What he should do to be happy? |
| A26905 | So that you want nothing, but have the world at will? |
| A26905 | Some great matter sure you think it will do for you? |
| A26905 | Stretch conscience for it till it tear or can stretch no further? |
| A26905 | Suppose you had the most that you can expect in the world; would you be contented with this as your portion? |
| A26905 | Sure you would never so much love it, and make such a stir for it, if you looked for nothing from it? |
| A26905 | The Philosopher asks the Question, Why women are more addicted to look after neat attire then men? |
| A26905 | The flesh will have its prey, and pleased it must be: Their conscience tells them, It will cost thee dear? |
| A26905 | Then how beautiful would ▪ the feet be of them that bring you the tidings of such good things? |
| A26905 | Then if you look on house, or goods, or lands, how little pleasure find you in any of them? |
| A26905 | Then you would not swell against their Doctrine or Application? |
| A26905 | They dream that they are rich, and honourable, and happy, and how proudly do they carry it out in this dream? |
| A26905 | They see not the state of your soul? |
| A26905 | They think when they hear them, These are hard sayings, who can bear them? |
| A26905 | This command they make conscience of: and how then can you be meet judges of their alms? |
| A26905 | This was plain dealing of an Holy Father: and is it not such as is as needful now as then? |
| A26905 | To a man that is in love with money, O what a strong temptation is it, to see an opportunity of getting it by sin? |
| A26905 | To a proud man that is tender of his reputation in the world, what a troublesom temptation is it to be reproached, or slighted, or slandered? |
| A26905 | To what end? |
| A26905 | To whom God saith,[ Thou ● ool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?] |
| A26905 | Vanity and Vexation before Felicity? |
| A26905 | WHat is it that dying men do commonly think and say of the world? |
| A26905 | Was it not the very end of Christs death to save his people from their sins? |
| A26905 | We desire you not to joyn with them in evil? |
| A26905 | Well then, Beloved Hearers, seeing you that sit here present are all of one of these two sorts, let conscience speak, which is it that you are of? |
| A26905 | What I Shall we prefer a mole- hill before a Kingdom? |
| A26905 | What a dung- hill do they wallow in, as if it were a bed of Roses? |
| A26905 | What a noble employment have you, in comparison of the highest servants of the world? |
| A26905 | What a poor low thing is it which the sons of men do tire themselves in seeking after? |
| A26905 | What a stir do men make for temptation and destruction? |
| A26905 | What a toylsom thing is it for a man to travail in fetters, or to run a race with a burden on his back? |
| A26905 | What abundance of precious time and labour do you lose, which might and should be better spent? |
| A26905 | What abundance of precious time do other men lose, in dreaming pursuits of an empty, deceiving, transitory world? |
| A26905 | What answer think you they must make, if they speak the truth? |
| A26905 | What art have you to extract such comforts from the creature, that never man could do till now? |
| A26905 | What deformities do they dote upon, as if they were the most real beauties? |
| A26905 | What do the most of the world, but prefer earth before heaven through the course of their lives? |
| A26905 | What do you daily labour and live for? |
| A26905 | What else do worldlings but tear and devour themselves with cares and sorrows, and scourge themselves with vexatious thoughts and troubles? |
| A26905 | What excellent Precepts of Clemencie and Beneficence hath Seneca? |
| A26905 | What great trouble will it be to any man to part with that which he doth not care for? |
| A26905 | What hast thou which thou hast not received? |
| A26905 | What honourable persons should Ministers be? |
| A26905 | What if Abraham did once tell a lye or equivocate, and Isaac do the like in a fear? |
| A26905 | What if David did once commit an hainous sin? |
| A26905 | What if Lot be given over to a temptation? |
| A26905 | What if Moses did once provoke God? |
| A26905 | What if Noah were once drunk in his life: will you judge of his whole life by it, or say, that he is as bad as the rest of the world? |
| A26905 | What if there was an Absalon in Davids family? |
| A26905 | What if there was one Iudas among the Disciples of Christ? |
| A26905 | What if you are never richer, will you never do good therefore with what you have? |
| A26905 | What if you might be the Emperour of the world to day, and must be as you are again to morrow, were it desirable, or worthy to be regarded? |
| A26905 | What interest is it that is predominant in you? |
| A26905 | What is it that hath your Hearts? |
| A26905 | What is it that is the matter of your dearest Love? |
| A26905 | What is it that is the very bent and scope of your life? |
| A26905 | What is it then that you expect by this world? |
| A26905 | What is that you would have, and which you make such a stir for? |
| A26905 | What is your care, and your chief contrivances? |
| A26905 | What is your very heart set upon? |
| A26905 | What know you, if you know not this? |
| A26905 | What makes you drop prayers so much thicker then Alms or Distributions? |
| A26905 | What profiteth it my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, and have not works? |
| A26905 | What say you then, Beloved Hearers, are you willing to know your hearts, or not? |
| A26905 | What self- seeking and unprofitable servants are they? |
| A26905 | What shall be your portion instead of heaven?] |
| A26905 | What should we say to them? |
| A26905 | What take you for your portion? |
| A26905 | What then doth that man do, but deny God to be God, that denyeth him his highest esteem and love? |
| A26905 | What then shall I say to you? |
| A26905 | What then will it do for you? |
| A26905 | What will you choose, if you choose not him? |
| A26905 | What will you take then for a sufficient warning? |
| A26905 | What wise man would spend so precious a thing as Time is, upon that which he knows will leave him in Repentings that ever it was so spent? |
| A26905 | What wonder if the Garrison surrender not where the besieged have free passage and continual supplies? |
| A26905 | What would you not give in troublesom times to know certainly which will be the prevalent side? |
| A26905 | What would you then say? |
| A26905 | When Pilate saith,[ Shall I crucifie your King?] |
| A26905 | Whether it be for Earth or Heaven? |
| A26905 | Whether you are dead to the world and the world to you? |
| A26905 | Which of them doth prevail, when an opposition doth arise? |
| A26905 | Which of these shall I think in reason doth take the course to conquer the world? |
| A26905 | Which then should be most honoured? |
| A26905 | Who are like to be the fools indeed? |
| A26905 | Who is it that more honoureth the Physitian? |
| A26905 | Who then will fear you, or honour or regard you, further then your deserts or their interests lead them? |
| A26905 | Who will look for Happiness from a known Enemy and Tormentor? |
| A26905 | Who will not then cry out against it as Vanity and Vexation? |
| A26905 | Who will now play so low a game, that hath an Immortal Crown propounded to him? |
| A26905 | Who would fall in love with dung, or dote upon filth or dogs- meat? |
| A26905 | Why do not dying men do so then? |
| A26905 | Why do they not bargain, and deceive, and contrive for their lusts and worldly accommodations? |
| A26905 | Why do ye not rather suffer your selves to be defrauded? |
| A26905 | Why should it not be our duty to magnifie the work of Sanctification, as well as the work of Creation and Redemption? |
| A26905 | Why then should you be of so differing a mind? |
| A26905 | Why then should you so value that now, which all the world will vilifie at the last? |
| A26905 | Why, alas, how quickly can God call them from you by death? |
| A26905 | Will he be troubled for the loss of that which he disregardeth? |
| A26905 | Will he part with Christ and heaven for money, who looks on money as other men do on chips or stones? |
| A26905 | Will he vex himself for nothing? |
| A26905 | Will not all this serve to convince you of this truth? |
| A26905 | Will not his Judgement, think you, be more dreadful then your own? |
| A26905 | Will you abuse him, because you think they do? |
| A26905 | Will you apply this promise to all, or to some, or to none? |
| A26905 | Will you be at so much cost, and labour to build an house, that before you have finished it, will be spurned down by death in a moment? |
| A26905 | Will you be the worse, because God is so good to you? |
| A26905 | Will you blame cloathing or fire that men are cold? |
| A26905 | Will you blame the best Physitian and remedies that men are sick, when there is no cure but by those remedies? |
| A26905 | Will you bring forth that Traytor that hath had your hearts and lives so long, and let him die the death? |
| A26905 | Will you call your selves Men and Christians, and yet take up with the pleasures of a bruit, and there place your happiness? |
| A26905 | Will you either judge of all other godly people by them? |
| A26905 | Will you go to the Quakers, or to the Papists, Monks and Nuns for them? |
| A26905 | Will you not sow your Masters corn, till you are certain of a plentious increase? |
| A26905 | Will you obstinately cleave to it, when you know its vanity, and the mischief that such contempt of God will bring? |
| A26905 | Will you reward that servant that will lock up himself in his chamber, or hide his head in a hole when he should be busie at your work? |
| A26905 | Will you sin against God in one kind, if they do so in another? |
| A26905 | Will you still hide it as sugar under your tongue? |
| A26905 | Will you then own these Resolutions and sayings, or will you not? |
| A26905 | Will you vex your brains with contrivings for the world, and weary your mind with tearing cares, and walk in sorrow because you have not your desires? |
| A26905 | Will your Riches, or Pleasures, or Honours do this? |
| A26905 | Will your friends deliver you, and give you a solid lasting Peace? |
| A26905 | With what exceeding vigilancy then have you need to deal with such a dangerous deceiver; when all your happiness, and all your hopes is at the stake? |
| A26905 | Would it bring you to your journeys end, to be of the Opinion that you should be up and going, as long as you sit still? |
| A26905 | Would they not rather cry shame against him that would then entice them to any such thing? |
| A26905 | Would you be free from a vain and sensual mind? |
| A26905 | Would you have God to save you, and yet not to take off your affections from the world to himself? |
| A26905 | Would you have larger possessions, more delightful dwellings, repute with men, the satisfying of your lusts? |
| A26905 | Would you know then what you are? |
| A26905 | Would you not gladly part with it for more of Christ? |
| A26905 | Would you then have the boiling of your corruptions abated? |
| A26905 | Wouldst not thou have a God that can preserve, and help, and save thee? |
| A26905 | Wouldst thou fire the house thou dwellest in? |
| A26905 | Wouldst thou pluck up thy own foundation? |
| A26905 | Wouldst thou then have a God or no God? |
| A26905 | YET further I demand, Whether indeed you do intend to Renounce your Christianity, and all your hopes of heaven, or not? |
| A26905 | Yea and will compass Sea and Land for it? |
| A26905 | Yea and will pretend that it is for the honour of Christ thus to dishonour him? |
| A26905 | You are doing somewhat all; you are going somewhither every day: whither is it? |
| A26905 | You dare not stand to this at Judgement: I know you dare not: And will you now insist on that which you dare not stand to? |
| A26905 | You glory in your Honours, and pleasures, and possessions, and for ought you know within this week, or hour, they may be none of yours? |
| A26905 | You have matters of everlasting life or death, salvation or damnation to look after; and what is riches or vain pleasures to this? |
| A26905 | You know as sure as you shall live that you must die, and your corpse be laid in the common dust: And whose then shall all your pleasure be? |
| A26905 | You know they will not: You can not with all the wealth in the world procure the pardon of the smallest sin? |
| A26905 | You must be Nothing, that he may be All, or else you will be Nothing indeed? |
| A26905 | Your Portion is almost spent already, and what will you do then? |
| A26905 | Your flatterers will then forsake you, and seek them a new Master? |
| A26905 | [ How hardly shall they that have Riches enter into the Kingdom of God?] |
| A26905 | [ If I be a Father, saith God, where is mine honour? |
| A26905 | [ Know ye not that the Friendship of the world is enmity with God? |
| A26905 | [ Nunquid potes invenire urbem miseriorem quam Atheniensium fuit cum illam triginta tyranni divellerent? |
| A26905 | a shadow before the substance? |
| A26905 | an hour before eternity? |
| A26905 | and are you eminent teachers of it to others? |
| A26905 | and as great, as Whether you are in a state of salvation or not? |
| A26905 | and cut off the bough on which thou standest? |
| A26905 | and do it after so much warning? |
| A26905 | and do they examine them about their everlasting state, and call them to account of what they learn from the publick Ministry? |
| A26905 | and do you know how able they are to give? |
| A26905 | and do you think I am such a fool as to be worded out of them? |
| A26905 | and freed from such perilous snares? |
| A26905 | and have you great parts in knowledge and utterance? |
| A26905 | and how faithfully would you practise? |
| A26905 | and how many friends should we have? |
| A26905 | and how much more excellent work might you be employed in, if the world were but dead to you, and the stream of your souls were turned upon God? |
| A26905 | and how slightly do you shake him off? |
| A26905 | and how well worthy of your Tythes and more? |

| A26905 | and stand to it? |
| A26905 | and take off his burden, and how lightly will he run? |
| A26905 | and tell men that they deny or overlook it, because they admire him within them, as well as without them? |
| A26905 | and that in a sort destroy the world to your selves, by separating it from its soul? |
| A26905 | and that this is it that hindereth you from duty, and hindereth you in duty, and keepeth you from the attainment of an heavenly conversation? |
| A26905 | and that you change your minds as your carnall Interest doth change? |
| A26905 | and that you know you sin, and yet will do it; even against your own knowledge and conscience? |
| A26905 | and think you are got into a thriving way? |

| A26905 | and what is the Design that you are daily carrying on? |
| A26905 | and what it is that is predominant in your heart? |
| A26905 | and what life and sweetness there is in creatures, which the heavenly believer draweth forth, and you have no taste of? |
| A26905 | and wherher we have not reason to say, Crucifie it, Crucifie it? |
| A26905 | and whether you be not more deeply offended with them for crossing your commodity, then for sinning against God? |
| A26905 | and whether you drive them not on harder to your own service then to Gods? |
| A26905 | and whether you examine them not strictlyer about your business, then about the matters that their salvation doth depend upon? |
| A26905 | and who is it that would not be on his side, except those few that have Crucified the world? |
| A26905 | and why do you more carefully and laboriously seek the things of earth, then the Heavenly Glory? |
| A26905 | and will you love and long for that which is an enemy to it? |
| A26905 | and yet say that you are Crucified to the world? |
| A26905 | and yet will you doat upon it, and neglect and lose the life everlasting for it? |
| A26905 | and yet wilt thou cast him off? |
| A26905 | are you descended of worshipfull or honourable Ancestors? |
| A26905 | as besides their daily works of charity upon ordinary occasions, to devote also a seventh part entirely to his service? |

| A27015 | * Was the Pope of Rome none of those innumerable Bishops of the Church? |
| A27015 | 10.26, asketh Christ[ What shall I do to inherit eternal life?] |
| A27015 | 11. and not onely to the Clergy? |
| A27015 | 13 I would know also whether it were by the judgment of a General Council that the first Churches believed the Scripture to be Gods word? |
| A27015 | 2. where was your universality also, when there were scarce seven Bishops left that were free from the plague of Arrianisme? |
| A27015 | 3 If he had proved it, are not all the Prophets and Apostles as well as Peter called the foundation? |
| A27015 | 3. Who must be judge of your Sanctity and ours? |
| A27015 | ? |
| A27015 | A happy generation of Lyars sure? |
| A27015 | All that''s doubtful is whether any other Churches or Bishops have as fair a plea for infallibility as the Romane? |
| A27015 | All the foresaid absurdities unavoidably follow; whether they say that they can infallibly teach us all things( and will not) or but some? |
| A27015 | And Christ useth to reprehend their strangeness to Scripture passages, as if they had not read them with such words as these[ Have ye not read,& c?] |
| A27015 | And I would fain know whether these Rules of Bellarmines to know the unwritten word by, are themselves the Word of God, or not? |
| A27015 | And all of them confess that either a Pope, or a Council may erre? |
| A27015 | And are the Papists forced to yield us thus much? |
| A27015 | And are we sure that any of ● he pretenders are true Popes? |
| A27015 | And by what means doth he oblige us to Believe the Church in such determinations? |
| A27015 | And can that doctrine be of God, which teacheth men to do such abominable things? |
| A27015 | And can they be all silent about the onely ground of faith? |
| A27015 | And did the authority of the Scripture at that time ● ll quoad nos, when the judge was turned heretick? |
| A27015 | And do not those you call Lutherans, do as ● hey in this( though how rightly I say not?) |
| A27015 | And doth he not in believing them, Judge them to be True, and Judge the contrary doctrine to be false? |
| A27015 | And doth it not contradict the definition of a Church, to say that we must believe the Church before we can believe the doctrine of Christ? |
| A27015 | And doth not this directly tend to infidelity? |
| A27015 | And here it must be known whether the Cardinals have the sole power to elect? |
| A27015 | And here note what a naked shameful ● ft it is that Bellarmine makes about this text? |
| A27015 | And how can they know that such men are Christians, or profess that faith, before they know what that faith is? |
| A27015 | And how can they know that they are to be credited as Christians, before they believe that Christianity it self is of credit? |
| A27015 | And how great a sin hast thou heaped on thy self, when thou hast cut off thy self from so many flocks? |
| A27015 | And how is that proved? |
| A27015 | And how neer they begin to draw to the Reformed Churches in the Resolution of their Faith? |
| A27015 | And how shall I know that? |
| A27015 | And how shall we all know what is a General Council, and when we have one? |
| A27015 | And how shall we know that ever there was such a thing as a General Council? |
| A27015 | And how shall we know that this one which Bellarmine hit on, is the right? |
| A27015 | And if a Pope or General Councel differ, to whom must the people hearken? |
| A27015 | And if it be not onely in them, then whether are any of those true Popes that have been chosen onely by them of late ages? |
| A27015 | And if others, whether it be onely some of your Church, or all? |
| A27015 | And if the Pope had not then so much as the Presidency, how much less an universal jurisdiction with infallibility? |
| A27015 | And if they be again asked, how they know that this unanimous assertion of the Catholike Church is free from error or infallible? |
| A27015 | And if they were not written to teach the Church to what end were they written? |
| A27015 | And indeed had Christ no Church till the Pope became universal Monarch? |
| A27015 | And is it not a wonder that Austin never remembred to direct them to Rome, or to the Popes infallibility, if that had been the approved way? |
| A27015 | And is it not plain then that all your dictates are Gods word, if you have the same seal and inspiration as the Apostles had? |
| A27015 | And is not here a fine doctrine to make men perfect? |
| A27015 | And is there not need of very strangely cogent evidence now to impell them to believe against the concurrent vote of Scripture, sense and reason? |
| A27015 | And is your Doctrine like this? |
| A27015 | And many more express passages he hath: as[ Quae in Scripturis sanctis non reperimus, ea quemadmodum usurpare possemus?] |
| A27015 | And may not God have the honor of speaking as plainly as the Pope or Thomas or the Council of Trent? |
| A27015 | And must men believe in the Pope before they believe in Christ? |
| A27015 | And must they believe in Christ onely because the Pope bids them, or because they first believe in the Pope? |
| A27015 | And must this Doctrine now be made the mother of Heresies, and kept from the eyes of the people that should learn it? |
| A27015 | And now what is become of your Religion? |
| A27015 | And of how much better signification think you, is the name[ Papist] or[ Romanist? |
| A27015 | And seeing the Will so far Free Ethically as it is Good, Vertuous or Holy, the Question then is, Whether every mans Will be Good and Holy? |
| A27015 | And seriously, would the Jesuites perswade us that these are of equal authority with the Miracles mentioned in Scripture? |
| A27015 | And that a Pope may be a heretick and to be deposed in the judgement of a General Council? |
| A27015 | And that the Pope and Papists are this Church, before their hearers have received or believed the word of God? |
| A27015 | And then how can I tell that I or any man is sure of any thing? |
| A27015 | And then how can any Papist tell that the Bread is turned into Christs body? |
| A27015 | And then is the whole foundation of Divine faith extinct and lost, when there is no General Council? |
| A27015 | And then it must be known upon whose credit the former ages did receive that faith and Scripture which they deliver down to us? |
| A27015 | And then the Church may lye in the smaller oppressed part: and why then may not the most erre now? |
| A27015 | And then why are not all the Apostles successors infallible as well as the Pope? |
| A27015 | And then, w ● ● knows which of them must be succeeded by the next? |
| A27015 | And therefore this may stop their mouthes that use to call out to us for a catalogue of their names? |
| A27015 | And therefore what should they talk any more of a living judge, when that living judge himself can not speak so as to be understood? |
| A27015 | And this is no rare matter among them? |
| A27015 | And to hide from them that word of the living God, which he hath given the world to be their Directory to salvation? |
| A27015 | And was not the Churches Faith resolved into the Infallibility of a Woman in Pope Joanes dayes? |
| A27015 | And we must know, that the Pope onely is lawless, and under no power of Canons, or Decrees of former Popes and Councils? |
| A27015 | And we wonder how they can think to be saved in a way that was not known for so long time? |
| A27015 | And what could Peter do more in Feeding? |
| A27015 | And what hath the Confuter to say against this? |
| A27015 | And what if that were true? |
| A27015 | And what is the change that is in the last years belief? |
| A27015 | And what is the ground of their contrary belief? |
| A27015 | And what is the infallibility that this Doctor resolveth his Faith into? |
| A27015 | And what is this Believing in the Pope that must go first? |
| A27015 | And what need we more then that which is here granted? |
| A27015 | And what need you ask forgiveness of these sins, or be beholden to God ● or it, if the punishment to be forgiven were never due? |
| A27015 | And what of this? |
| A27015 | And what presumption, to prefer Humane Tradition before Divine appointment? |
| A27015 | And what the better are you for your judge; when he can not or dare not decide your controversies? |
| A27015 | And what was this bloody petition of this County? |
| A27015 | And when Pope Pelagius and Gregory the first, and Adrian the first did all approve of the same? |
| A27015 | And when it comes to the upshot, you are not agree ● what this Church is? |
| A27015 | And when they make that to be essential to the Catholike Church which the first Catholike Church did never know? |
| A27015 | And whether a man should commit Murder, Adultery, Theft,& c. or not? |
| A27015 | And whether this be a sit ground for us to build our faith upon, or resolve it into? |
| A27015 | And which partie is it that holdeth to the ancient terms of unity? |
| A27015 | And why did none of the ancient Churches understand and expound it so? |
| A27015 | And why do they not refer us to those writings, but to their own determinations? |
| A27015 | And why doth he not write an infallible summary of all his superadded traditions? |
| A27015 | And why may not another Doctor by these Rules, know the unwritten word, as well as the Pope, and another Church as well as the Romane? |
| A27015 | And why then may not we take it immediately on the credit of the Apostles as well as the first ages did? |
| A27015 | And why will you not allow them the like towards God and his Word? |
| A27015 | And would not any unprejudiced stander by suppose that the most obvious sence of those words is[ This is the picture of Peter, Paul,& c.?] |
| A27015 | And yet must we judge either their Pope to be infallible; or their Church to be at such unity in faith as they would make the ignorant vulgar believe? |
| A27015 | And yet that such as the Papists shall be saved that are so far below them, because they believe in the Pope of Rome? |
| A27015 | And yet the sufferings of these men prove them infallible? |
| A27015 | Are all Saints infallible? |
| A27015 | Are all the Preachers of the Romish faction infallible? |
| A27015 | Are all these nothing? |
| A27015 | Are not others as ready so to suffer as they? |
| A27015 | Are not these good Catholikes, and well converted, that be of our mind, and do not know it? |
| A27015 | Are not these the men that take away the Key of knowledge, and will neither enter in themselves, nor suffer others to enter? |
| A27015 | Are not we as well without him as you are with him? |
| A27015 | Are these Essential or Integral parts of a man? |
| A27015 | Are we not as infallible as they on this account, when we conquer them? |
| A27015 | Augustine, and many others? |
| A27015 | But are all Bishops therefore free from error? |
| A27015 | But are these priviledges therefore granted to the Pope, or to other Bishops?] |
| A27015 | But did not those ages take up their faith on the same grounds as we should do now? |
| A27015 | But do not these deceivers know? |
| A27015 | But do not you make this Negative a part ● your Religion; that nothing but Scripture is to ● ● believed fide divinâ? |
| A27015 | But do we find that this way was taken? |
| A27015 | But if it be but some things that the Pope is infallible in, then how shall we be sure which be those some? |
| A27015 | But if it be but some very few of you( as good as none) how will that prove the infallibility of your whole Church? |
| A27015 | But if it be not from themselves that the Pope and Council believe the Scriptures, from whom then is it? |
| A27015 | But if such may be Popes, then must we know why a Mahometane may not as well be a Pope? |
| A27015 | But is it ever the less sin, because it is reparabile? |
| A27015 | But is this man serious? |
| A27015 | But is this much to the purpose? |
| A27015 | But let us come to the tryal with them who laid the first Schismatical Principle? |
| A27015 | But then, whether Historical faith be common or not? |
| A27015 | But what is this Reparation that he speaks of? |
| A27015 | But what saith he to it? |
| A27015 | But when he writes in Latin, How many wayes of Resolution of Faith, that are unsound can he find among the Papists as different from his own? |
| A27015 | But where is that promise? |
| A27015 | But where is this testimony? |
| A27015 | But wherefore should we go knock at heaven, when we have it here in the Gospel? |
| A27015 | But you say, How is it that at Rome a Presbyter is ordained on the testimony of a Deacon? |
| A27015 | By what means? |
| A27015 | By what warrant will they distinguish, and claim power in one, which they have not in the other? |
| A27015 | Can he say the like of all the Bishops, as well as Patriarchs? |
| A27015 | Can no man indeed but a Papists know the Scripture to be the word of God, upon justifiable grounds? |
| A27015 | Can the Pope lay by his relation when he is teaching the Church,& do it as a meer private Doctor, when he is not a meer private Doctor? |
| A27015 | Can the Pope therefore believe it because he doth believe it? |
| A27015 | Can they think that all the learned Heathens were such fools? |
| A27015 | Can we forgive our selves? |
| A27015 | Can we know before he discloseth them, or onely after? |
| A27015 | Can we think that Augustine and the rest of the Bishops in these Councils did not understand what they did, and purposly restrain the Romane ambition? |
| A27015 | Christ answereth him thus[ What is written in the Law? |
| A27015 | Comes it from the commands and Epistles of the Apostle? |
| A27015 | Common reason must needs have told men of such principles, that this was the way? |
| A27015 | Concerning this Pope I would desire the impartial Reader to observe what a miserable answer Bellarmine is put to give? |
| A27015 | Could he think that the Bishop of Rome had that power over the Church which he thought not any Bishop to have over the Presbyters of any one Church? |
| A27015 | Did Bellarmine better know Pope Adrians understanding, then the Pope knew his own? |
| A27015 | Did Julian never stick at this very principle of the faith, the Romane infallibility? |
| A27015 | Did ever Christ direct the world to go to the Church of Rome to know whether he be the Christ, or whether the Scripture be his word or not? |
| A27015 | Did ever Peter or Paul or any Apostle do so? |
| A27015 | Did not Christ bid the rest of the Apostles Feed as well as Peter? |
| A27015 | Did not Christ chide his Disciples for this contest? |
| A27015 | Did not Paul write his Epistles to the Laity as well as to the Clergy? |
| A27015 | Did not Pope Vigilius err judicially when he condemned the Decree of the General Council( for condemning dead Hereticks)? |
| A27015 | Did the rest of the Apostles receive the Gospel on the credit of Peter, or were they sent by him? |
| A27015 | Did they either submit to the judgement of the Pope as infallible, or obey him as their universal Ruler? |
| A27015 | Did they first preach the Pope and Romane Church before they preach''t Christ or Scripture? |
| A27015 | Did they give us such a definition of the Catholike Church? |
| A27015 | Did they not learn this of the Donatists? |
| A27015 | Did we not find the Greek, Ethiopian and other Churches in possession of the name of the Catholike Church as well as you? |
| A27015 | Do Popes publish writings about matters of Religion, and not to teach the Church by them? |
| A27015 | Do not all Laws of the Land oblige the subject upon the bare legislation and promulgation, before the Judge meddle with them? |
| A27015 | Do not the poor Greek Churches and other Christians under the Turks, suffer more then the Romanists? |
| A27015 | Do not your expositors differ about many hundred texts of Scripture, and neither Pope nor Council will decide the controversies? |
| A27015 | Do they not make us suffer incomparably more then they? |
| A27015 | Do they think in good sadness that the world was converted to Christianity by this means? |
| A27015 | Do they think that none else in the world but they can tell what was the judgement of the former Church? |
| A27015 | Do we not know of the multitudes of Opinions among you, mentioned by Bellarmine and other of your Writers? |
| A27015 | Do you mean by Indifferency an Indifferency of Natural Power, or an indifferency of inclination or Habite? |
| A27015 | Do you not know this to be true? |
| A27015 | Do you not ● now that half the Protestants( those whom you ● all Lutherans) do hold universal Redemption as well as you? |
| A27015 | Do you think I never read Watsons Quodlibets, and the many pretty stories of the Jesuites exploits there mentioned by him? |
| A27015 | Doth Christ mean both, when he names but one? |
| A27015 | Doth God give a man Authority to do that, which he hath promised him and all others that he shal never do: But he will keep him from? |
| A27015 | Doth it not seem then that your Church is Apostate, in that it hath lost the gift of Miracles, which you suppose so necessary? |
| A27015 | Doth that prove the insufficiency of what all are agreed on? |
| A27015 | Doth the Devil make true Bishops of conjurers? |
| A27015 | Doth this Text say that the Pope of Rome is infallible? |
| A27015 | For if the senses of millions in perfect health may be all deceived in this, why not in other things, for ought we know? |
| A27015 | For they certainly nourish him and turn into his substance: A most horrid consequent: For what communion hath Christ with Belial? |
| A27015 | For what do they less when they unchurch and damne all that acknowledge not their new made universal Bishop which the Primitive Church never did? |
| A27015 | For what is a Church but a society of Christians, that is, men professing the Christian Faith? |
| A27015 | For what strifes and dissenssions hast thou made through the Churches of the whole world? |
| A27015 | For when they are asked, how they know then Scripture to be the revealed word of God? |
| A27015 | For who should more justly be angry with the other? |
| A27015 | Good Lord, whether will the heat of contention carry men? |
| A27015 | Hath Christ laid more on the Sex then on all these? |
| A27015 | Hath God made subjects to be Judges of his Lawes by which they must live, and by which they must be judged? |
| A27015 | Hath he indeed yet proved himself successor of the Jews High Priest? |
| A27015 | Hath not Christ told him that no man lighteth a candle to put it under a Bushel, but where it may be seen of all? |
| A27015 | Have none of the Greek Churches, nor Alexandria, Antioch,& c. had a succession till it fell into the hands of a Heretick? |
| A27015 | Have not the Turkes a larger Dominion than the Pope? |
| A27015 | Have the Quakers learn''t this distinction of perfection, yet? |
| A27015 | Have they conquered the Great Turk, the Great Mogol, the Grand Cham of Tartary,& c? |
| A27015 | Have we no Church then? |
| A27015 | Have you no way to make your selves perfect, but by making the Law of God imperfect? |
| A27015 | He saith[ Lord whether shall we go? |
| A27015 | Here note that Bellarmine confesseth that Councils may erre; and then where is the French Religion? |
| A27015 | How can the Papists for shame pretend to universality either as to the present or former ages? |
| A27015 | How can there ● e venia sine merito vel debito paenae? |
| A27015 | How can they believe you, if they do not by judgement discern the things you say to be true? |
| A27015 | How can they tell but that their successors may make the Creed as long again as it is, and make their Religion another thing? |
| A27015 | How can they tell but their Creed may fill more volumes yet before that all their Popes have done with it? |
| A27015 | How can you perswade us to value such perfection? |
| A27015 | How could they convert the infidels, and confirm believers without acquainting them with the grounds of their Faith? |
| A27015 | How dare they condemne the far greatest part of Christians on earth to eternal torment? |
| A27015 | How doth he prove, that by the Rocke is not meant Peters Faith, or that Doctrine which he confessed but Peter himself? |
| A27015 | How impiously against God, and how cruelly against men, is this committed? |
| A27015 | How know we their Testimony? |
| A27015 | How shall men at a distance be sure that the Councils are indeed confirmed by the Pope? |
| A27015 | How shall we be sure that all these, or the greater part of them are true Bishops and lawfully called? |
| A27015 | How shall we know( in very many cases at least) either which is the judgement of the whole Church or of the major part? |
| A27015 | How then do fallible men among you, by preaching bring men to an infallible faith( in tant ● m) and why may it not be so with us? |
| A27015 | I appeal to all the Thomists ▪ Dominicans, Jansenians, whether the Pope hath facilitated their salvation by this determination? |
| A27015 | I demand now whether the Popes determination have not made salvation harder to many then before? |
| A27015 | I desire also to know whether it be your Pope himself that Works these Miracles, or some other persons? |
| A27015 | I would fain know by what spectacles the Papists can read these words of* Cyprians, to find out their infallibility in them? |
| A27015 | I would fain know where was the Churches infallibility, and power of judging of matters of faith in Nazianzens dayes? |
| A27015 | I ● it enough that he step up into the chair and call himself Pope? |
| A27015 | If Christ him ● elf be not a sufficient Teacher, nor the Gospel it self a ● ufficient Doctrine of Life, Then whither shall we go to seek it? |
| A27015 | If God saith, It is so: May the Pope say, It is not so? |
| A27015 | If Papists can turn all these, why do they suffer themselves still to be confined to so small a part of the world? |
| A27015 | If a Conjurer, a common Whoremonger, a Murderer, a Simonist, a Heretick, may be the infallible judge of the faith, why may not a woman? |
| A27015 | If all, then it seems he must judge whether he that Believeth shall be saved, or not? |
| A27015 | If another man that is no Bishop of Rome may be Peters successor, then how shall we know who have succeeded him all this while? |
| A27015 | If by the present, why can not we see them? |
| A27015 | If he be, then what need of a Council, when he is infallible alone? |
| A27015 | If he say, because the Church or the Scripture saith so; How knoweth he that, but by hearing or seeing? |
| A27015 | If it be by their writings, Canons or Decrees, why can not other men who are much wiser and better, understand these as well as the Pope? |
| A27015 | If it be on the credit of any former Church, then would I know of which age? |
| A27015 | If it be the Pope himself, why then have we more murthers then Miracles charged on your Popes by your own historians? |
| A27015 | If not, then it seems we may have Rules and means which are not the word of God, by which we may infallibly know which is the true word of God? |
| A27015 | If past Miracles may serve without present, then what need any more than the old Miracles of the Apostles? |
| A27015 | If the Jesuit had put his proofs into well formed Arguments, what stuff should we have had? |
| A27015 | If the Jesuites are to be believed, what a silly sottish generation are your secular Priests? |
| A27015 | If the Pope of Romes infallible authority had been the ground, would they not have told us so? |
| A27015 | If the first, who must be judge of their victories, but themselves? |
| A27015 | If therefore repentance and amendment be of necessity to Salvation, what Will become of these men that suppose themselves so infallible? |
| A27015 | If therefore the one of them be infallible, because of this, why is not the other so too? |
| A27015 | If these be not notorious enemies of the Light, who are? |
| A27015 | If they are, what need there also any more proof, when they themselves confess themselves fallible? |
| A27015 | If they be not to be believed, what need there any more proof? |
| A27015 | If they be, are they written or unwritten, and how known to be so? |
| A27015 | If they can, why have they not faln closer to work in this necessary point, when they know how much it would do to the determination of the whole? |
| A27015 | If they have, then how came they by it? |
| A27015 | If this Article be so necessary to salvation, Why do not we find it in any ancient Creed? |
| A27015 | If you aske who may and who may not? |
| A27015 | If your Priests are to be believed, what a seditious hypocritical, cheating packe are the Jesuites? |
| A27015 | If your way were of God, it needed not such devices to uphold it, nor would it suit so well with works of darkness? |
| A27015 | In Austines Book against Petilianus the Donatist the very question debated, is, How they may know where the true Church is? |
| A27015 | Is it all, or some of Christs Doctrines that the Pope is Judge of? |
| A27015 | Is it because the word of God is indeed yet unknown? |
| A27015 | Is it because we must not force the Scripture, but take it in the plainest, obvious sence? |
| A27015 | Is it from the Authority of the Lord and the Gospel? |
| A27015 | Is it not a high advancement of the Gospel Church, above the legal Jewish Church, which the Papists do vouchsafe it? |
| A27015 | Is it not absolutely necessary to the validity of the Testimony of a Miracle, that it be not controled by some greater Miracle or evidence? |
| A27015 | Is it not all that he expresly commandeth to[ Examine themselves, and so to eat of this Bread and Drink of this Cup?] |
| A27015 | Is it not ambition and desire of Rule that is the very cause which they contend for? |
| A27015 | Is it not by Scripture, or unwritten tradition in their own judgment? |
| A27015 | Is it nothing that all the Ethiopian, Greek, and Reformed Churches are not of their party, besides many a thousand more? |
| A27015 | Is it onely this, that the Pope hath Power to judge, that there is a God, a Christ, a word of God? |
| A27015 | Is it possible that any learned Papists can seriously believe that this was the ancient way of believing? |
| A27015 | Is it that venial sin is easier conquered and forsaken then mortal? |
| A27015 | Is it the Scriptures? |
| A27015 | Is it the remission of the guilt and punishment? |
| A27015 | Is it the removing of the blot? |
| A27015 | Is no man on earth bound to believe in Christ that knows not the Popes mind in the matter? |
| A27015 | Is not Faith an act of discretion? |
| A27015 | Is the infallibility of sense a thing that is known by nature, or by supernatural Light? |
| A27015 | Is this liker the doctrine of Papists or of Protestants? |
| A27015 | Is, there then no Eucharist among the Abassines, Greeks, or any that subject not to you? |
| A27015 | It is God that justifieth, who shall condemne us? |
| A27015 | It is a hard strait that the Papists are in to tell us, and themselves, when the Pope teacheth as a private Doctor, and when as Pope? |
| A27015 | It may be we may have no General Council of a hundred or six hundred, or a thousand years together? |
| A27015 | Let it be the smallest point they will imagine; Hath God given power to the Pope to contradict him and give him the Lye? |
| A27015 | May he decide these on either part? |
| A27015 | May he judge that there is no Judgement, Resurrection, or life Everlasting? |
| A27015 | Moreover how shall we know whether substances and accidents are separated or not? |
| A27015 | Moreover, if you are All Miracle Workers, why can we never see one, nor have certain proof of one? |
| A27015 | Must Christ lose for ever the most of his Church, even those that never heard of Rome; because they believe not in the Pope? |
| A27015 | Must Paul be damned because he was not one of Peters subjects? |
| A27015 | Must he send his own Son to preach the Gospel? |
| A27015 | Must not he that believeth the Resurrection, and Everlasting Life, believe them with his own understanding? |
| A27015 | Must the God of heaven send down his Spirit to dictate an illuminating Doctrine to his Prophets and Apostles for the world? |
| A27015 | Must the light which God hath given the world, be blamed for all the Darkness of mens errors? |
| A27015 | Must they not know or labor to know, for fear of mistaking? |
| A27015 | Must they not therefore be heard? |
| A27015 | Must they put out their eyes, and be led by the Pope, for fear of erring? |
| A27015 | Must we believe him? |
| A27015 | Must we believe him? |
| A27015 | Nay can learned men tell? |
| A27015 | Nay can the Cardinals ● ell that choose them? |
| A27015 | Nay is it not undenyable that you are of two Churches specifically different? |
| A27015 | Nay must we belive as the very foundation of our Faith, that which the Papists themselves believe not? |
| A27015 | Nay thirdly, Do not these men know that the Bread and Cup were both given to the people by the Primitive Church? |
| A27015 | Nay what else can any man be sure of? |
| A27015 | Nay what needs it reparation if it be not a transgression? |
| A27015 | Neither? |
| A27015 | Next he cometh to the Lords Supper, and saith, that one party holdeth the real presence and the other not? |
| A27015 | Next he shews that it must not be out of Parables, Allegories or such Scriptures that make no more for one side then the other( what then? |
| A27015 | No sure: for eternal punishment he saith, it deserveth not; and internal principles do not sure forgive the punishment of sin? |
| A27015 | No: properly peccatum veniale non inducit maculam, as before said? |
| A27015 | Now what doth the Romane Clergy, but cry out after us as Hereticks and Schismaticks, and as ● ● us[ where was our Church before Luther?] |
| A27015 | Now which way doth God give the Church this Power? |
| A27015 | Nun ● quid ergo vel summo Pontifici vel caeteris Episcopis haec sunt divinitus concessa privilegia?] |
| A27015 | Nunquid ergo omnes Episcopi ab errore liberi? |
| A27015 | O that these men would but shew us in what history we may find the reports of this way of preaching? |
| A27015 | O what an incredible thing is this? |
| A27015 | Or are they all infallible? |
| A27015 | Or are you sure that there is no Miracle wrought among the Grecians, Abassines or Armenians? |
| A27015 | Or can no poor Christian believe the word of God, that can not take an account of this through the world? |
| A27015 | Or did the Church do so for many a hundred year after them? |
| A27015 | Or did they stay till they had the judgement of a General Council or of all the Churches? |
| A27015 | Or if indeed it be the Pope and Romanists that is meant by[ the holy Catholike Church] why would not the composers of the Creed tell us so? |
| A27015 | Or if it were, is one Latin Copy in a Cardinals hand more credible then all the rest in the world, that have c ● ● e to light? |
| A27015 | Or is such doctrine to be endured among Christians? |
| A27015 | Or is that like to be the cause of Christ that must be thus upheld? |
| A27015 | Or it s their duty to understand the Popes Laws, and their sin to understand Gods Laws? |
| A27015 | Or may not the doctrine which they preach beget a certain belief in the hearer? |
| A27015 | Or must men be kept from the light, for fear least it lead them into Darkness? |
| A27015 | Or no certainty of Scripture or of the faith? |
| A27015 | Or refuse to go his journey, lest he miss the way? |
| A27015 | Or tell us what parts of the world were converted by this argument? |
| A27015 | Or that his party call him so? |
| A27015 | Or that seeing the light will not forsake the darkness? |
| A27015 | Or the Pope? |
| A27015 | Or upon both? |
| A27015 | Or what if some of them have suffered from infidels? |
| A27015 | Or whether then must poor Pagans have recourse to know that Scripture is the Word of God? |
| A27015 | Or will they arrogantly condemne all the rest of the Christian world as heretical, and then say that they are the whole Church? |
| A27015 | Or will you bid him serve and obey him, and yet forbid him to search after the knowledge of his laws and will? |
| A27015 | Or would you not rather say as the Philistine King of David, when he spit, and scraped on the Wall, Have I need of mad men? |
| A27015 | Our Question in hand is for the escaping the second of these snares, by discovering which is the safe way to Salvation? |
| A27015 | Q WHether the Reformed Catholike Christian Religion, commonly called Protestant, be a safe way to salvation? |
| A27015 | Quaestio c ● ● te inter nos versatur, ubi sit Ecclesia? |
| A27015 | Quarenti namque und ● noverint scripturam esse revelatum Dei verbum? |
| A27015 | Quest Is not every Priest infallible, and every Church that hath the Eucharist, according to your doctrine? |
| A27015 | Quibus si iterum fiet interrogatis, unde sciverint unanimeus hanc Ecclesiae Catholicae assertionem esse ab errore liberam seu infallibilem? |
| A27015 | Quid mihi profers unius urbis consuttudinem? |
| A27015 | Quid paucitatem, de qua ortum est supercilium in leges Eccesiae vindicas?] |
| A27015 | Rep. And doth that cross his former charitable conclusion? |
| A27015 | Saith thus[ Quid ● uim facit excepta ordinatione Episcopus, quod presbyter non faciat? |
| A27015 | Sed dicis, Quomodo Romae ad testimonium Diaconi presbyter ordinatur? |
| A27015 | Shall all Infidels be excused in judgement, that had the Gospel preached to them by any other Christians except the Pope or others in his name? |
| A27015 | Shall every illiterate person be judge of the sence of Scripture? |
| A27015 | Shall every one be the Judge of Scripture? |
| A27015 | Shall none of ● hese perish for this unbelief? |
| A27015 | Si tollas purgatorium, quorsum indulgentiarum opus erit? |
| A27015 | So also they are disagreed among themselves whether i the Bishops in a General Council are Judges with the Pope or onely the Popes Counsellors? |
| A27015 | So what if we could not prove that any before had said[ The Pope is not the Universal Governor?] |
| A27015 | So what is the obvious signification of those words[ This is my body] but[ This is the Sacrament or Representation of my Body?] |
| A27015 | Sure it is scarce possible that they should be so far distracted by their prejudice and faction? |
| A27015 | Sure one party of these Popes erred, unless contradictoryes may be true? |
| A27015 | Sure the Pope suffers but little( in this life: but in the next, let him look to himself) How then do other mens sufferings prove him infallible? |
| A27015 | Sure you dare not say so? |
| A27015 | That is[ For what doth a Bishop except ordination which a Presbyter may not do? |
| A27015 | That its lawful; Lawful? |
| A27015 | That we may not have the same liberty or means of knowledge as the very children of the Jews had? |
| A27015 | That which we have to do, therefore is onely to enquire whether indeed it be bread or Christs body, a creature or the Creator which they worship? |
| A27015 | The great controversie was, who had the true Church the Donatists, or the Catholikes? |
| A27015 | The like also I ask of a Council: How doth that Council know it themselves from whom we must know it? |
| A27015 | The next mark that he layes down is[ Victory over all sorts of enemies] But is it over their minds, or over their bodies that they mean? |
| A27015 | Their error is their sin: But doth it follow that they may not see at all, for fear of missing their way? |
| A27015 | They say,[ If they be not infallible in all things, how can we believe them in any thing?] |
| A27015 | They tell us that, if our Church be not infallible ▪ then people have small reason to hear us or regard us? |
| A27015 | This is our great sin? |
| A27015 | Traditions which the Romane Bishop pretendeth to be the keeper of? |
| A27015 | Was it not they that first defined the Catholike Church as equipollent with the Romane? |
| A27015 | We do most confidently return on them their own demands? |
| A27015 | We must believe what he promised, and who were his servants, before we believe in himself? |
| A27015 | We must go to him to know whether we must be Infidels or not? |
| A27015 | We read in the Acts of the Apostles of some Believers, that they daily search''t the Scriptures whether those things were so: What Scriptures? |
| A27015 | We would know from any of them where their Church was for three hundred( yea for six hundred) years after Christs birth? |
| A27015 | Well: but see what unity is procured by the addition of these new Articles to their Creed? |
| A27015 | What a concurse would be about his Holiness doors? |
| A27015 | What a difference is there between this doctrine of yours, and the very scope of Scriptures, and antient Writers, and the sense of a gracious soul? |
| A27015 | What a multitude of things are de fide now, that were not so within a thousand years? |
| A27015 | What a task were it to Reconcile but Bellarmine and Holden? |
| A27015 | What conference do we ever manage with them which they do not misreport? |
| A27015 | What if he tell as that the world was made in five days and not in six? |
| A27015 | What if ten men that have been at a fight, come home and tell you, which side had the better? |
| A27015 | What if the Jews High Priest had been infallible? |
| A27015 | What if the Pope say that the Gospel of Mathew or Luke or John is no part of Gods word? |
| A27015 | What is it then that bringeth them to this belief? |
| A27015 | What is it then? |
| A27015 | What is it, because that they are properly and not figuratively to be understood? |
| A27015 | What is there in those words[ This is my body] that can perswade any sober Christian to their strange belief? |
| A27015 | What is this but to abrogate Gods Laws, and set up the Popes above and against it? |
| A27015 | What man will go to evince a whole systeme of doctrines to be true, and quite forget that medium, by which onely it is first to be proved? |
| A27015 | What more evident then that the Papists have separated from all other Christians in the world? |
| A27015 | What more evident to any man that hath any acquaintance with the Fathers, then that these wretches do here most palpably forswear themselves? |
| A27015 | What must we do then? |
| A27015 | What need I ask this? |
| A27015 | What need you confess sin, that can fulfill the Law so easily? |
| A27015 | What opportunity have we to take the account? |
| A27015 | What part is it? |
| A27015 | What reason have I to trust any Papist living? |
| A27015 | What reason then can the Papists give why the Bishop of Antioch might not as well plead that he is Peters successor, as the Bishop of Rome? |
| A27015 | What records or Tradition have they which all the rest of the world is ignorant of? |
| A27015 | What shall we think of all those that murdered their predecessors to obtain the place, were they capable of being true Bishops? |
| A27015 | What tell you me of the custome of one City? |
| A27015 | What three sentences do we use to speak together without some figurative expression? |
| A27015 | What will they invent at last to hide the nakedness of Pope Honorius who in two several General Councils was condemned for a Monothelite Heretick? |
| A27015 | What ● eed you any pardon of that which was never ● eserved by you? |
| A27015 | What''s that to the Pope of Rome any more then to another man? |
| A27015 | What''s the unreconcileable quarrel so much as that all the world will not be subject to them? |
| A27015 | What, do not you confess that Baptisme and the Lords Supper are Sacraments? |
| A27015 | What, if the Ancient Church had intecpreted this Text as we do, against your Transubstantiation? |
| A27015 | What, must the onely rule that condemneth Heresies, be made the cause of them? |
| A27015 | What, no one difference, with this Popish Veridicus? |
| A27015 | What? |
| A27015 | When several Popes and Councils contradict one another, how shall we know which of them to believe? |
| A27015 | When the Pope and Council contradict each other, how shall the people know which is infallible? |
| A27015 | When was there ever one Priest in any age so impudent at Bellarmine and his faction are, to plead for or pretend an infallibility in themselves? |
| A27015 | When we say, we preach in Christs name, as confidently as you say that you preach in the Popes name? |
| A27015 | When you prove that the Church of Rome is the true Church, would you not have the people judge of your proof for fear of erring? |

| A27015 | Whose Religion then is proved new by this, ours or theirs? |
| A27015 | Why are we still sent to Saint Brigit, or Saint Francis, or Saint Somebody that is long ago dead and gone? |
| A27015 | Why but, how do your hearers know that; Must they take it on the preachers word, who proclaimeth himself fallible? |
| A27015 | Why do so many of themselves, yea their General Councils so much contradict their Popes in many things, if he be infallible in all things? |
| A27015 | Why do you boast no more of you Popes Miracles? |
| A27015 | Why doth he not write an infallible commentary on all the Bible to perfect our knowledge and end all our quarrels? |
| A27015 | Why doth not one Pope reveal that which they think fit to reveal; but leave it to successors one after another to do it by degrees? |
| A27015 | Why must we not say[ I believe in the Pope of Rome] as well as[ I believe in God?] |
| A27015 | Why not the Bishop of Alexandria, Hierusalem, Ephesus, or other place as well as the Pope? |

| A27015 | With what face can these that exclaim against novelty, introduce such a palpable novelty into the Church? |
| A27015 | Would all the preachers and defenders of the faith, overlook and omit the very foundation into which all mens faith must be resolved? |
| A27015 | Would it prove the Patriarch of Constantinople infallible, if any one that is under his Government should work a Miracle? |
| A27015 | Would not this have found one place at least if not the chief among Eusebius his Preparations or Demonstrations? |

| A27015 | Would you have us do so by you? |
| A27015 | Yea and anathematize all that condemned not Theodorus, of whom Vigilius was one? |
| A27015 | Yea and let it be considered whether the wiser sort of Papists begin not to change the very foundation of their Faith? |
| A27015 | Yea and that they began to the Jews, and did it before them: And therefore why should the Jews act, and theirs be so much differenced? |
| A27015 | Yea or that they have consented to any one of these Articles of the Romish faith, and Trent oath? |

| A26701 | Why else do we so much trouble our selves, and trouble you with all this ado, and anger them that would have had us silent? |
| A26701 | Why is it nothing to thee to have all the attributes of God engaged against thee? |
| A26701 | Why not as great an absurdity to be twice regenerated as to be twice generated? |
| A26701 | Why should God repent that he hath made thee a Christian, as in the time of the old world, that he made them men? |
| A26701 | Why should not this be the day from whence thou shouldest be able to date thine happiness? |
| A26701 | Why shouldst thou forsake thine own mercy, and sin against thine own life? |
| A26701 | Why would you so wilfully deceive your selves, or build your hopes upon the sand? |
| A26701 | Why, but is there any remedy for such woful misery? |
| A26701 | Why, were these crucified for thee? |
| A26701 | Why, what shall I think you? |
| A26701 | Will a man keep a murderer in his bosom? |
| A26701 | Will it stand by you to eternity? |
| A26701 | Will none of you arise, and follow me? |
| A26701 | Will ye not tremble at my presence? |
| A26701 | Will you be content to live by faith, and trust him for an unseen happiness, an unseen Heaven, an unseen Glory? |
| A26701 | Will you be obstinate and choose to dye? |
| A26701 | Will you bow to my Government? |
| A26701 | Will you call on him, will you cry to him for help? |
| A26701 | Will you come under my yoke? |
| A26701 | Will you dance about the fire, till you are burnt? |
| A26701 | Will you give me your hands? |
| A26701 | Will you go on and die, or will you set upon a thorow and speedy conversion, and hold on eternal life? |
| A26701 | Will you have this God for your God? |
| A26701 | Will you lay all at my feet, and give it up to my dispose, and take me for your only portion? |
| A26701 | Will you own and honour mine All- sufficiency? |
| A26701 | Will you put in your names into his Covenant? |
| A26701 | Will you run upon the edge of the Rock? |
| A26701 | Will you set open the doors, and give the Lord Jesus the full and present possession? |
| A26701 | Will you still be cheated by this deceiving World? |
| A26701 | Will you submit to my discipline? |
| A26701 | Will you subscribe? |
| A26701 | Will you take me as your happiness and Treasure, your hope and bliss? |
| A26701 | Will you turn off all my importunity? |
| A26701 | Will you venture your selves upon my word,& depend on my faithfulness, and take my bond for your security? |
| A26701 | Will you yet be intreated? |
| A26701 | Wilt thou arise and set to thy work? |
| A26701 | Wilt thou as it were fetch thy vieze, and jump into eternal flames, as the children through the bonfire? |
| A26701 | Wilt thou be content to run all hazards with him? |
| A26701 | Wilt thou be worse than the beast, to run on, when thou seest the Lord with a drawn sword in thy way? |
| A26701 | Wilt thou deny thy self, take up thy Cross, and follow him? |
| A26701 | Wilt thou embrace this for thy happiness? |
| A26701 | Wilt thou esteem his arrows as straw, and the instruments of death as rotten wood? |
| A26701 | Wilt thou forgo thy sinful gains, thy forbidden pleasures? |
| A26701 | Wilt thou go on in such a dreadful condition, as if nothing ailed thee? |
| A26701 | Wilt thou go with this man? |
| A26701 | Wilt thou have Christ in all his relations to be thine; thy King, thy Priest, thy Prophet? |
| A26701 | Wilt thou have him with all his inconveniences? |
| A26701 | Wilt thou have the Lord for thy God? |
| A26701 | Wilt thou have the merciful, the gracious, the sin- pardoning God, to be thy God? |
| A26701 | Wilt thou lay all at his feet? |
| A26701 | Wilt thou let all the world go, rather than this? |
| A26701 | Wilt thou let go thy hold- fast of the world, and rid thy hands of thy sins, and lay hold on eternal life? |
| A26701 | Wilt thou not now obey the voice of the Lord? |
| A26701 | Wilt thou sit down and consider the forementioned arguments, and debate it, whether it be not best to turn? |
| A26701 | Wilt thou sit still, till the tide come in upon thee? |
| A26701 | Wilt thou take God at his word? |
| A26701 | Wilt thou take thy lot with him, fall where it will? |
| A26701 | Wilt thou trample on the worlds esteem, and spit in the harlots face, and stop thine ears at her flareries, and wrest thee out of her embraces? |
| A26701 | Would it be for his honour, to have the dogs to the table? |
| A26701 | Would it not have pitied thine heart to have seen him among the tombs, cutting, and wounding of himself? |
| A26701 | Would you have us to despair? |
| A26701 | Would you not say, O what a deceiver is the Devil that can thus lead on souls to their own damnation? |
| A26701 | Wouldst thou serve thy end? |
| A26701 | [ O man, Dost thou read this, and never turn in upon thy soul by self- examination?] |
| A26701 | against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? |
| A26701 | and have we not flesh as well as others? |
| A26701 | and how little hope is there that this Excellent Treatise should reach its end, with those who apprehend not themselves concern''d in it? |
| A26701 | and is there no way to stop them or keep them back?] |
| A26701 | and that they were Abraham''s Seed? |
| A26701 | and they shall live and be saved that walk after the spirit? |
| A26701 | and to harden thy self in a conceit, that all is well with thee, while thou remainest unsanctified? |
| A26701 | and what all the Pomp, and Wealth, and Pleasure of the World will signifie to a departing Soul? |
| A26701 | and what were Christianity better than the Religion of Antonine, Plato, Socrates, Seneca, Cicero, Plutarch, if not much worse? |
| A26701 | and whether God hath not made the Hypocrites and Unbelievers to be the standards in Hell? |
| A26701 | and whether he be not an Hypocrite that professeth to be a Christian, and a servant of God, when he is none, nor will be? |
| A26701 | and why the Country must be troubled with them, and pay them Tythes, and owe them reverence? |
| A26701 | any mercy, after such provoking iniquity? |
| A26701 | art thou in none of the forementioned ranks? |
| A26701 | but it is from your prison, sirs, from your chains, from the dungeon, from the darkness that he calleth you? |
| A26701 | but rather who then shall not be saved? |
| A26701 | deeper than hell, what can we know? |
| A26701 | dost thou laugh at hell and destruction, or canst drink the envenomed cup of the Almighties fury, as if it were but a common potion? |
| A26701 | for Christ, Grace, Pardon, that thou maist be justified, sanctified, renewed, and fitted to serve him? |
| A26701 | go into the gardens of pleasure, and gather all the fragrant flowers from thence: would these content thee? |
| A26701 | hath there passed a through and mighty change upon him, or not? |
| A26701 | how deep are their groans? |
| A26701 | how feeling are their moans? |
| A26701 | how frequently have I made suit to you? |
| A26701 | how instant have I been with you? |
| A26701 | how long will you halt between two opinions? |
| A26701 | how long will you linger in Sodom? |
| A26701 | how long will you stick between the womb and the world? |
| A26701 | how many years have you been purposing to amend what if God should have taken you off this while? |
| A26701 | how much more to ● lose our pains in Religion, to pray, and hear, and fast in vain? |
| A26701 | how much rather, when he saith unto thee, wash and be clean? |
| A26701 | how often would I have gathered you? |
| A26701 | how the fire rageth? |
| A26701 | how unconceivable their miseries? |
| A26701 | is life and death at thy choice? |
| A26701 | no hope? |
| A26701 | not to one awakened look into the World where you must be for ever? |
| A26701 | one after another by the scores in cold blood? |
| A26701 | or against his will, and then where were his Omnipotency? |
| A26701 | or covetousness, but an unsatiabl ● and unsufferable thirst? |
| A26701 | or dally with devouring wrath, as if you were at a point of indifferency, whether you did escape it, or endure it? |
| A26701 | or declaim to the Mountains, and think to move them with arguments? |
| A26701 | or he must change his will, and then where were his Immutability? |
| A26701 | or malice and envy, but venom in the very heart? |
| A26701 | or the brightness of the glory of his holiness be blemished for thee? |
| A26701 | or the rocks removed out of their place? |
| A26701 | or to lodge the swine with his children? |
| A26701 | or whether the vile puddle of sin, be to be preferred before the water of life, clear as Crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb? |
| A26701 | or wilt thou bring him to thy Organ, and expect that he should make thee melody, or keep time with the skilful Quire? |
| A26701 | quando satiabor de pulcritudine tua? |
| A26701 | shall I burn the brimstone of hell at his nostrils? |
| A26701 | shall I give the blind to see? |
| A26701 | shall I linger any longer in this wretched estate? |
| A26701 | shall I make an Oration to the Rocks? |
| A26701 | shouldst thou ask them thus that have felt what''t is to be damned, what answer dost thou think they would make? |
| A26701 | that we have described? |
| A26701 | that you are of the visible Church? |
| A26701 | that you bear his name? |
| A26701 | they are infinitely above our thoughts, higher than Heaven, what can we do? |
| A26701 | to my word, to my rod? |
| A26701 | to the tombs and monuments of the dead, or to a living auditory? |
| A26701 | what a Hell of sin is in this heart of mine, which I have flattered my self to be a good heart? |
| A26701 | what saist thou to that river of brimstone, that dark and horrible vault, that gulf of perdition? |
| A26701 | what shall I do? |
| A26701 | what shall I do? |
| A26701 | what sin have I lived in against my brother? |
| A26701 | when I see you ready to perish? |
| A26701 | when shall it once be? |
| A26701 | when will you come to a fixed, full, and firm resolve? |
| A26701 | where is the place, yea where is the house almost, where these do not dwell? |
| A26701 | where will you leave your glory? |
| A26701 | whereby shall I win them? |
| A26701 | whither will you flee for help? |
| A26701 | whither wilt thou fly? |
| A26701 | whither wouldst thou drop? |
| A26701 | who by Faith foreseeth whither you are going, and what you lose, and where the game of sin will end? |
| A26701 | who will say unto him, what dost thou? |
| A26701 | why shouldest thou venture a day longer, in this dangerous and dreadful condition? |
| A26701 | why shouldst thou be a morsel for that devouring Leviathan? |
| A26701 | will you not be made clean? |
| A26701 | will you put your hand upon the Cockatrice den? |
| A26701 | wilt thou take up thine habitation here? |
| A26701 | with the most sweet and inviting calls, comforts, cordials, of the divine promises, so exceeding great and precious? |
| A26701 | would I stick at the pains? |
| A26701 | would not pity have made you think,[ Is there no way to open these Gentlemens eyes? |
| A69533 | & Whether these Pastors should not rather have gathered Churches as free as their own? |
| A69533 | & an omnia mihi in eo probentur? |
| A69533 | & c.] doth not the question deserve to be answered with the rod? |
| A69533 | ( besides what I have granted to Apostolical Bishops in the third Dispute?) |
| A69533 | 2& 3. had their warnings or threatnings for smaller faults, what would such corruptions bring us to, but even to be plagued or forsaken by the Lord? |
| A69533 | All the Question is, What sort of Bishops they must be? |
| A69533 | All the business therefore is to know what God hath authorized Governors to institute, and what not? |
| A69533 | An ille solus? |
| A69533 | And I wou ● d know whether you can prove that it is Essential to a Bishop to have more Churches or Parishes then one? |
| A69533 | And are Lay- Elders as bad as Lay- Chancellors? |
| A69533 | And are we not then agreed? |
| A69533 | And are we schismaticks for not obeying a Bishop when we have none? |
| A69533 | And are you denied your Liberty, because you are not backed by the Sword? |
| A69533 | And are your few Recusants that would draw you to separation of greater Learning, authorty and regard, then all the Protestants in the world besides? |
| A69533 | And by what authority then can you do it? |
| A69533 | And by what note may we know what points so to receive from them, and what not? |
| A69533 | And can all the Pastors travail so far to the Presbyterie so frequently without neglecting their Pastoral work? |
| A69533 | And can any man think that it is best for all these Churches to be without Ministers, and Sacraments, rather then to have such? |
| A69533 | And can one man undertake this for many score or hundred Churches? |
| A69533 | And do you think these are likely terms for Peace? |
| A69533 | And how are we proved Schismaticks? |
| A69533 | And how can they convey a better title to their Heirs then they had themselves? |
| A69533 | And how can they have Authority, when most of them have not Ability? |
| A69533 | And how charitable and peaceable an Epistle hath he writ before D. Blondels book de Papissa Joanna? |
| A69533 | And how come they to have Power to Ordain others, that are not Ordained themselves, but are admitted upon bare Election? |
| A69533 | And how is it that Presbyters shall be Ruled by Diocesans, and the Diocesans by Provincials? |
| A69533 | And how sad a case is it that the Reconciliation between the Lutherans and other Protestants should in any measure stick at such Ceremonies? |
| A69533 | And how? |
| A69533 | And if all this were but accomplished, in the Conclusion I may be bold to ask, what would the Devil himself have more, except our damnation it self? |
| A69533 | And if it Please him not, it will be lost labour and worse: and we may expect to hear[ who requireth this at your hands?] |
| A69533 | And if it be so, let them judge whether their doctrine subvert not Christianitie? |
| A69533 | And if not in Scripture, where then? |
| A69533 | And if so, then why do they vilifie Bishops under the name of Presbyters? |
| A69533 | And if so, what men are you? |
| A69533 | And if the last were granted, Whether these be not properly Archbishops? |
| A69533 | And if they dissent, what will you do with them? |
| A69533 | And if they know as much already, what need have they of our Teaching? |
| A69533 | And if to any, then to which, and to how many, and where shall our consciences find rest? |
| A69533 | And in good sadness, is it not more prudent for the Magistrate to keep the sword in his own hands if really it be the sword that must do the work? |
| A69533 | And indeed I think the most of this cause is carried on in the dark: What Books have they written to prove our Ordination Null? |
| A69533 | And indeed must we buy your Communion so deer? |
| A69533 | And is it not a horrid thing to make such Laws, that the most conscionable are likest to fall under, and to perish by? |
| A69533 | And is it not strange that both names of the superior Office( Bishop and Presbyter) should be commonly given to the new inferior Office, at the first? |
| A69533 | And is not he that hath a County on his hands, like to do less for this Town or Parish, then if he had no more then this? |
| A69533 | And is not that enough? |
| A69533 | And is not that now tolerable for your Communion with us, which served then for the Communion of all the Churches on earth? |
| A69533 | And is not this to be found in a Parish Bishop, as well as in a Bishop of many Parishes, or Churches? |
| A69533 | And most of them are unable to give me a rational answer to either of the Questions? |
| A69533 | And must men needs turn Papists because of the different Rites of Protestants, when they must find more variety among them that they turn to? |
| A69533 | And must we put them to so much more labour, as to learn a Rationale or exposition of all the Ceremonies, holy dayes ▪& c? |
| A69533 | And now censorious Slanderer, tell me, what thou wouldst have had me to have done more? |
| A69533 | And of their own sufficiency for such a work? |
| A69533 | And our Churches ruined? |
| A69533 | And see you not that six parts of the world are Infidels, and much for want of Teachers to instruct them? |
| A69533 | And shall every man be a Teacher and Ruler that will in the Church of Christ, as if it were the only confused contemptible Society in the world? |
| A69533 | And shall the Prelatical Controversie come to this? |
| A69533 | And that that Church was but one Congregation, or not very many: Else what need the Presbyters take their turns, when they might have done it at once? |
| A69533 | And then will you condemn them, and justifie your selves by saying[ why should not the Church be obeyed?] |
| A69533 | And was not Alexander( the Colliar) whom he Ordained at Comana, a Bishop, though but of a small Assembly? |
| A69533 | And what Bish ● ps shall Antioch have at this day? |
| A69533 | And what Government is it that you think we want? |
| A69533 | And what a case then would this land( and others) be in? |
| A69533 | And what a contempt is it of the blood of Christ, that the purchase made by it should be thus neglected? |
| A69533 | And what a kind of Religion is that? |
| A69533 | And what a sinful arrogant usurpation is this, for any man to be guilty of? |
| A69533 | And what authority had that Council to bind all the Christian world, to all ages? |
| A69533 | And what could be more to the shame and hazzard of the Church, then to have it taught and guided by such ignorant unworthy men? |
| A69533 | And what fuller evidence would you have that it is not any such Episcopacy whose liberty they exclude, under the name of Prelacy? |
| A69533 | And what great harm doth that to the Church? |
| A69533 | And what if the Apostles have no Successors? |
| A69533 | And what if you think this species best? |
| A69533 | And what is it that you would have that''s better? |
| A69533 | And what is that Thing? |
| A69533 | And what is the Odious harm that these men do among them? |
| A69533 | And what is your Office, but your Authority and Obligation to do your work? |
| A69533 | And what likelihood, or proof at least, that John did institute them the year that he dyed? |
| A69533 | And what number of them must go to be the true witnesses of a Divine Law? |
| A69533 | And what shall we do to reconcile their contradictions? |
| A69533 | And what should become of poor souls the while your young ones are a training up? |
| A69533 | And what then shall we think of that sort of men, that think themselves so good and worthy, as to run on their own heads, without due approbation? |
| A69533 | And what was this to true Church- Government? |
| A69533 | And where you say, They should not disturb the Church; I answer, Are you so blind that you see not that it is you that disturb the Church? |
| A69533 | And who knows not that they both fetcht their chief Motives from experience? |
| A69533 | And who shall pay for this, or maintain me in thy service? |
| A69533 | And who were these? |
| A69533 | And why are we more bound then by the same authority to other Ceremonies then to this? |
| A69533 | And why doth not your Laws except from punishment all those that conformed not, that were not wilfull or contemptuous? |
| A69533 | And why have we not the Diocess of Paul and Iohn, and Mathew and Thomas, and the rest of the twelve, mentioned, as well of Peter and Iames? |
| A69533 | And why is it that the distance must be so great? |
| A69533 | And why is not that to be accounted Order in the Church, that is so in all other societies? |
| A69533 | And why not all Schismaticks then that are against the Papacy, which is thought by others the best form? |
| A69533 | And why plead you for Discipline, and against Toleration, if you so loath the things you plead for? |
| A69533 | And why then may not another do it as well as he; or at least, the sillyest man that can read as well as the most able? |
| A69533 | And will not this suffice? |
| A69533 | And will you separate from us for other mens doings? |
| A69533 | And with what confidence can you expect his help, if you Call your selves, and enter not by his Approbation? |
| A69533 | And would you not cast them out, whom you would have forsaken? |
| A69533 | And would you not have them then cast out? |
| A69533 | And ye ● shall we return to the occasion of our misery, and that while we confess it to be a needless thing? |
| A69533 | And yet are you afraid that there will be too many? |
| A69533 | And yet dost thou reproach me that receive not a groat? |
| A69533 | And yet must we have no worship, Ministry, Communion of Saints, or Salvation, because we have only a Parochial and not a Diocesan Episcopacy? |
| A69533 | And yet must we have those impotent clamors, with which the writings of Mr. Pierce and other such abound? |
| A69533 | And yet must you needs have more work and service, and more souls to answer for? |
| A69533 | Are not others more impartial? |
| A69533 | Are not the Pastors of the Church most frequently called the Presbyters, or Elders? |
| A69533 | Are we not all the Children of one Father? |
| A69533 | Are we not in the same Baptismal Covenant with God? |
| A69533 | Are we not well without it? |
| A69533 | Are we proud for seeking to be Parish Bishops, and do you take it as an empty name or shadow? |
| A69533 | Are you strangers in England? |
| A69533 | As the old Rimer hath it[ Christus dixit quodam lo ● o; Vos non sic, nec dixit j ● co: dixit sui ● ergo isti Cujus sunt? |
| A69533 | Be ye servants of all, and seek to save all, and take on you thus the care of all the Churches, and see who will forbid such an Episcopacy as this? |
| A69533 | Because Catholicism is your pretense, consider whether you be not further from it then most people in the world? |
| A69533 | Bishops at the first plantation of the Gospel? |
| A69533 | Both Pastors and People are Governed by the Magistrate: And what need we more? |
| A69533 | But all the question is, Whether these Presidents should be only pro tempore, or durante vita, supposing that they forfeit not the trust? |
| A69533 | But first I will lay together some Propositions for decision of the Controversie; How far we are bound to obey mens precepts about Religion? |
| A69533 | But how came you to see into the hearts of men, that their non- conformity is wilfull and contemptuous? |
| A69533 | But how can I Ioyn with a Minister in prayer, If I know not before hand what he will say, when for ought I know he may pray blasphemy or heresie? |
| A69533 | But how do they prove it? |
| A69533 | But how prove they the consequence? |
| A69533 | But how shall they preach unless they be sent? |
| A69533 | But how? |
| A69533 | But if he command that we Assemble only at midnight, what should I do then? |
| A69533 | But if there must be a difference of judgement in these matters of outward Policy, why should not our hearts be still one? |
| A69533 | But if you are unfit, is it not better to forbear? |
| A69533 | But if you take this to be your duty, who hath hindered you from it these twelve years? |
| A69533 | But in case the Genus is commanded by God, and the Species are equal, may not the Governour limit us to one of the two? |
| A69533 | But is it not the Law that is the Rule of Moral Good? |
| A69533 | But is it therefore fit that Authority should command it? |
| A69533 | But may not Bishops when they Ordain, Delegate what measure of Ministerial Power they please? |
| A69533 | But should Authority therefore ensnare the Church with needless Impositions? |
| A69533 | But should not men obey Authority in forms and m ● ● ters of indifferency? |
| A69533 | But such is the English Episcopacy? |
| A69533 | But the Apostles and Evangelists had a larger circuit then a Parish, and therefore so should their Successors have? |
| A69533 | But the Church hath antient venerable fo ● ms already; and who may presume to alter them? |
| A69533 | But the Consequent will be disowned by those that dispute against us? |
| A69533 | But the doubt is ▪ Whether the Episcopacy in question be necessary or profitable thereto? |
| A69533 | But the question is not, whether we must have Church- Order? |
| A69533 | But the question is, Whether no man be sent that have not humane Ordination? |
| A69533 | But there were none such, as is granted: therefore,& c. And what proof is there of Archbishops then? |
| A69533 | But to Mr. Pierce; what a bloody perfidious sort of men are they, unfit to live in a Commonwealth? |
| A69533 | But what doth your Arguing make against the other Episcopal Divines that are not of the opinion that there were no meer Presbyters in Scripture times? |
| A69533 | But what need is there of it? |
| A69533 | But what need we further witness then the sad experience of the Church of late? |
| A69533 | But what need you form us a new sort of Episcopacy? |
| A69533 | But what the better are we for this, if we know not, which they are that are the true Pastors, nor can not possibly come to know it? |
| A69533 | But what use is there among us for such Ministers as these, when all the Nations are Converted from Infidelity already? |
| A69533 | But what will you take for a Case of Necessity? |
| A69533 | But what would you have men do that think there is a Necessity of their labours, and that they have Ministerial abilities? |
| A69533 | But what''s this to Government? |
| A69533 | But who shall be judge of this Necessity? |
| A69533 | But who was it that laid these snares in their way? |
| A69533 | But will you not, when it s known so openly, distinguish the Ministerial Power from the secular? |
| A69533 | But you will say, What if they do overvalue it as necessary, what danger is in that? |
| A69533 | But your first question should be, why you should command, and thus command unprofitable things? |
| A69533 | By this the Popish case may be resolved, Whether the Intention of the Priest be necessary to the Validity and success of Sacraments? |
| A69533 | Can Episcopacy be transferred by Deputation to another? |
| A69533 | Can not you live up to the height of Evangelical Sanctity? |
| A69533 | Can one man hear so many hundred as in a day must be before him, if this discipline be faithfully executed? |
| A69533 | Can you prove in Scripture that there were any particular Churches or Assemblies for Sacraments and other worship in Villages? |
| A69533 | Christ hath appointed you Baptism and the Lords Supper, which signifie the very substance of the Gospel: Can your signs do more? |
| A69533 | Consider also what yielding in things lawfull the Scripture recommendeth to us? |
| A69533 | Dare you say they were no Christians? |
| A69533 | Did ever Cochlaeus, or Bolseck go beyond this man? |
| A69533 | Did not the Churches differ till the N ● cene Council about Easter day, and one half went one way, and another half the other way? |
| A69533 | Did not these men know that the Church hath alwaies allowed diversity of Rites? |
| A69533 | Did the Catholick Church make the English Common- Prayer Book? |
| A69533 | Did the numerous Church at Ierusalem ordinarily meet on the Lords dayes for holy communion, or not? |
| A69533 | Do I change my Religion, if I read with a pair of spectacles, or if I look towards the South or West, rather then the East& c.? |
| A69533 | Do not some of you confess, that Bishops in Scripture- times had no subject Presbyters, and consequently had but a single Congregation? |
| A69533 | Do these men believe that there is a day of Iudgement? |
| A69533 | Do they not commonly own their former impieties and persecutions? |
| A69533 | Do we not know who and what men they are that you have to supply the room with? |
| A69533 | Do you indeed take your Dignity and preheminence to be an Article of our Faith? |
| A69533 | Do you not know what it is for a man to be driven against his Conscience? |
| A69533 | Do you not see how many thousand souls lie still in ignorance, presumption and security for all the number of labourers that we have? |
| A69533 | Do you pretend to antiquity, and fly from the Antient Government as none? |
| A69533 | Do you set so light by mens everlasting Joy or Torment? |
| A69533 | Do you thus think to honour Physitians and Schoolmasters, to the ruine of the people and the Schools? |
| A69533 | Doth he regard Rome any more then Eugubium, or Alexandria more then Tanis, for their worldly splendor or priviledges? |
| A69533 | Either you are fit for the Ministry, or unfit: if fit; why should you be afraid of tryal? |
| A69533 | Else why may we not turn the ten commandments into twenty or a hundred? |
| A69533 | Especially in case we doubt of the lawfulness of obeying them? |
| A69533 | For how else shall all concur? |
| A69533 | For if Episcopacy stand by Divine right, what becomes of these Churches that want it? |
| A69533 | For what else is to be done till persons be converted and brought into the Church? |
| A69533 | For what is an office but the state of one Obliged and Authorized to do such or such a work? |
| A69533 | For what''s the office of a Minister, but[ a state of Obligation aod power to exercise the Ministe ● ial acts?] |
| A69533 | For who can have encouragement to enter a calling when he knows not whether indeed he enter upon it or not? |
| A69533 | Had Apollo, Titus, Timothy, Silas, Barnabas,& c. none? |
| A69533 | Had all the Itinerant converting Ministers of those times none, that were not affixed as Pastors to a particular Church? |
| A69533 | Had not the Church a sure Rule, and an happy order, and unity, and peace, before your Common prayer Book or Ceremonies were born? |
| A69533 | Had the seventy Disciples none? |
| A69533 | Hath Christ by his Spirit instituted Church- offices, and are they now at the Bishops power to transform them? |
| A69533 | Hath God brought them down for their own wickedness, and shall we set them up again? |
| A69533 | Hath it any that are more Ancient or more venerable then the Scripture? |
| A69533 | Hath not God in his word and his works, and his Sacraments, provided sufficient means for our instruction, unless you add your Mystical signs? |
| A69533 | Have we not all the same God, the same Redeemer, the same Spirit in us? |
| A69533 | Have we not smarted by them late enough already? |
| A69533 | Have we not the same holy Scripture for our Rule? |
| A69533 | Have you not Consciences your selves? |
| A69533 | Have you not liberty to do as the Apostles did? |
| A69533 | Have you not sin enough already in breaking the Laws already made, but you must make more Laws and duties, that so you may make more sin? |
| A69533 | Hence is the doubt resolved, Whether the Pastor, or Church be first in order of time or Nature? |
| A69533 | How can man more arrogantly lift up himself, then by pretending himself to be wiser then his Maker and Redeemer? |
| A69533 | How can you more plainly invite men to turn Papists, unless you would do it expresly and with open face? |
| A69533 | How can you tell that he that ordained you, did not counterfeit himself to be Ordained? |
| A69533 | How dangerously and obstinately do such delude themselves, and think that they are as uprightly religious as the best? |
| A69533 | How did the Ancient Churches maintain th ● ir Unity, when Liturgies were in use, and the variety was so great as is commonly known? |
| A69533 | How do you know that it pleaseth him to be served by Images, Exorcisms, Crossings, and many pompous Ceremonies? |
| A69533 | How far yielded Pa. when he circumcised Timothy? |
| A69533 | How had the Church Unity before any of your forms were known? |
| A69533 | How hard doth the best man find it to keep up life and seriousness in the constant hearing or speaking of the same words? |
| A69533 | How many drunkards, swearers, whoremongers, raylers, Extortioners, scorners at a godly life did swarm in almost every Town and Parish? |
| A69533 | How shall we know which are they, and worthy of that name and honor? |
| A69533 | I Come now to the Objections of the other side, who will be offended with me for consenting for peace, to so much as I here do? |
| A69533 | I ask you then, where was it before the Mass book had a being? |
| A69533 | I do not think you will deny this to be your desire, and your purpose, if ever you should have power? |
| A69533 | I never pleaded for Lay- elders: If other men erre, will it justifie your error? |
| A69533 | I thought you meant a Primus Presbyterorum, or at least, a Ruler of People and Presbyters? |
| A69533 | I would be satisfied, whether every mans consent in the world be necessary to the Vniversality, or not? |
| A69533 | I would intreat you impartially to try, whether the Primitive Apostolick Episcopacy fixed in particular Churches were not a Parochial Episcopacy? |
| A69533 | I would know whether it was by this or by some former generation? |
| A69533 | If I think that one man hath no more right then another to a Negative voice, why should I seem to grant it him by my practice? |
| A69533 | If a man see another fall down in the streets, shall he refuse to take him up, because he is no Physician? |
| A69533 | If by one, then how came that one to have Authority to impose a new Institution on the universal Church? |
| A69533 | If from all, what a case are we in, as obliged to receive Contradictions and Heresies? |
| A69533 | If from some only, which are they, and how known, and why they rather then the rest? |
| A69533 | If he were to plead his own cause, and to speak for himself, would he not say the very same as these Learned, Reverend Disputers do? |
| A69533 | If he would spew out of his mouth lukewarm Laodicea, what would he do to such degenerate societies? |
| A69533 | If in One, how is it proved that they intended it in that one, and not in the rest? |
| A69533 | If it must continue, tell us how long, and tell us why? |
| A69533 | If it was the spiritual sword in your hands that kept out Heresies, why did you not keep them out since, as well as then? |
| A69533 | If not, then is it lawful now to have any? |
| A69533 | If not, then why do the adversaries call us to it? |
| A69533 | If not; then how many must consent before we are obliged? |
| A69533 | If the Name, is it not a term of Scripture used by the Holy Ghost? |
| A69533 | If the Question be, whether such a Ministry be useful in these Dominions, or not? |
| A69533 | If then a Parish or Congregational Bishop were a true Bishop, why may he not be so still? |
| A69533 | If there be no communion, how is it a Church? |
| A69533 | If these are not to be trusted, why should not Bishops themselves be trusted? |
| A69533 | If they were Instituted by Bishops after the Scripture was written, was it by one Bishop, or by many? |
| A69533 | If this be odious, why was it used by the Bishops? |
| A69533 | If this be your Religion, I may ask you, where was your Religion before Luther? |
| A69533 | If yea, then why may we not have Bishops in the Countreys without Scripture example, as well as Churches? |
| A69533 | If you ask, What Power shall these stated Presidents have? |
| A69533 | If you say in the Mass book( and what else can you say?) |
| A69533 | If you say that these present Ceremonies are not burdensome; I aske, why then were those of Gods institution burdensome? |
| A69533 | If you say, why should we not be obeyed in ind ● fferent things? |
| A69533 | If you say, why then do the Bishops desire it, if flesh and blood be against it? |
| A69533 | If you see the enemy at the Walls, will you not give the City warning, because you are not a Watch- man, or on the Guard? |
| A69533 | If you see the poor naked, may no one make them cloaths but a Taylor? |
| A69533 | If you will needs suspect the Protestant Ministers of partiality: what ground of suspicion have you of them that were no Ministers? |
| A69533 | If your Episcopal Power be of Divine appointment, why may you not trust to a Divine assistance as well as others, that you think are not of God? |
| A69533 | In the Bibliotheca Patrum how many Liturgies have they given us? |
| A69533 | Is any sick among you? |
| A69533 | Is it Possible then for him to watch over them, or to understand the quality of the person and fact? |
| A69533 | Is it a design beseeming an humble man, a Christian, a sober man, to find out a new way of making Ministers now in the end of the world? |
| A69533 | Is it a great abomination to exhort and direct men to preach, and pray, and praise God,&? |
| A69533 | Is it any wonder th ● n if many of them be lost? |
| A69533 | Is it because they do not Preach? |
| A69533 | Is it because you have no confidence in any Arm but flesh? |
| A69533 | Is it by bare commanding? |
| A69533 | Is it from all or some only? |
| A69533 | Is it good in them, and bad in others? |
| A69533 | Is it honour that you contend for, or labour and service to the Church? |
| A69533 | Is it not bad enough to equalize your selves with him, unless you exalt your selves above him? |
| A69533 | Is it not known that the Presbyterian Government hath been exercised in London, in Lancashire, and in many Counties, these many years? |
| A69533 | Is it not possible for the succeeding Bishops to err and mistake the Apostles Intentions? |
| A69533 | Is it not the felicity and glory of the Church which you object as an inconvenience or reproach? |
| A69533 | Is it the Name or the Thing, which they so abhor? |
| A69533 | Is it to Rule the Presbyters only? |
| A69533 | Is it to Teach or Rule the people of the particular Churches? |
| A69533 | Is not this the controversie? |
| A69533 | Is the Catholike Church confined to this party? |
| A69533 | Is the Power desirable to us, if the Ordinance were not desirable to the Church? |
| A69533 | Is the Primitive pattern of purity and simplicity become so vile in your eyes, as to be inconsistent with Christian Communion? |
| A69533 | Is there nothing Positive odious in Presbyterie? |
| A69533 | Is this Humility? |
| A69533 | Is this a sign of a son of God, that is tender of his honour and interest? |
| A69533 | It is Christ that hath given his Ministers their Power, and that for Edification: and who is he that may presume to take it from them? |
| A69533 | It is as if you set a Schoolmaster to teach ten or twenty thousand Schollars? |
| A69533 | It is not in your Power to shut us out; And will you not be there, if we be there? |
| A69533 | It is schism that we detest, and would draw you from, or else what need we say so much for Concord and Communion? |
| A69533 | It is the desire of our souls, that no able useful man may be laid by, however differing in smaller matters, or controversies of policy? |
| A69533 | It s one thing to ask whether it be necessary, profitable, or lawfull to Impose them? |
| A69533 | It seems man did not Institute them; for why may they not alter their own institutions? |
| A69533 | May an Apostle Excommunicate the very Pastor of the place, and deprive him? |
| A69533 | May an Apostle charge the people where he comes to avoid this or that seducer or heretick? |
| A69533 | May not a man disuse them without separating from the Church? |
| A69533 | Moreover, how do they prove that ever the Apostles gave power to the Bishops to institute the order of Presbyterie? |
| A69533 | Must a Physitian be bound to give all his Patients one kind of dyet? |
| A69533 | Must the Churches have no Peace but on your imposed terms? |
| A69533 | Must they be tyed to a Parish now, because they were Bishops only of a Parish in Scripture- times? |
| A69533 | Must they have one way, and we another? |
| A69533 | Must they not be needs untaught? |
| A69533 | Must we be unchristened, unchurcht and damned, for not obeying, when we have none to obey, or none that calls for our obedience? |
| A69533 | Nay do they not destroy the work, wh ● le they quarrel for the doing of it, for the honor sake? |
| A69533 | Nay more, if you will give this President a Negative vote, in Ordination and Iurisdiction, who will hinder you? |
| A69533 | No man of this age doth know the Apostles hearts but by some sign: what then is the revelation that Proveth this Intention? |
| A69533 | No nor once so much as name them? |
| A69533 | No one I am confident; Tell us whoever suffered for so doing? |
| A69533 | Nor how far( as to the Matter of their work and power) their office shall extend, and of what Species it shall be? |
| A69533 | Nor whether it shall be the duty of such qualified persons to seek the office? |
| A69533 | Nor whether the Scripture shall be their constant universal Canon? |
| A69533 | Nor whether there shall be a Ministry or no Ministry? |
| A69533 | Nor whether we must have Discipline, but whether it must be only theirs? |
| A69533 | Now the Question between us is, Whether this was well done or not? |
| A69533 | O what a burden do they take upon them ▪ and what a dreadful danger do they run into? |
| A69533 | O wonderful, that ever this should become a Controversie among men, that vilifie others as unlearned and unwise in comparison of them? |
| A69533 | Or at least that he was not ordained by an unordained man? |
| A69533 | Or can all these people be perswaded without the Magistrates sword to travail so far to answer for their impiety? |
| A69533 | Or did ever any General Council authorize it? |
| A69533 | Or do you not know what abundance we have that in one Parish are every week scandalous, by drunkenness, cursing, swearing, railing, or such like? |
| A69533 | Or do you think there will be any Discord where Love is Perfected, and we are One in God? |
| A69533 | Or hath God left any imperfection in his institutions for your Ceremonies to supply? |
| A69533 | Or how could you gratifie Papists more? |
| A69533 | Or if every School had a Schoolmaster in your Forefathers dayes, will you say, there shall be but one in your dayes, in a whole County? |
| A69533 | Or if they had indeed done this, would none regard it, nor remember i ●, so much as to resist the sin? |
| A69533 | Or is a greater number more desirable? |
| A69533 | Or is it a desirable thing? |
| A69533 | Or rather, whether it be tyed to the Bishop of many Churches( as you would have it:) that is, Whether Ordination belong to Archbishops only? |
| A69533 | Or whether all men are discharged from this labour and service on whom such Prelates do not Impose it? |
| A69533 | Or will you be partiall? |
| A69533 | Or will you not exercise the Primitive Episcopacy on Consenters ▪ because you have not the sword to force Dissenters? |
| A69533 | Put the controversie truly as it is, Whether it be lawful for the Bishop of one Church with his Prebytery to Ordain? |
| A69533 | Quam eandem sententiam Medina vester Patribus pariter omnibus tribuit — Quid ex his, inquies? |
| A69533 | Quid dicam? |
| A69533 | Shall it still continue, or would you have it healed? |
| A69533 | Should Rome be so much gratified? |
| A69533 | Should we laugh or weep at such a man as this? |
| A69533 | So also when some have been hotly condemning us as being against Bishops, I ask them what a Bishop is? |
| A69533 | Some tell me that Presbyterie is the Government of the Church without Bishops: And is it only the Negation of your Prelacy that is the odious thing? |
| A69533 | THat Government which unavoidably causeth separations and divisions in the Church, is not ● o be restored under any pretence of its Order and Peace? |
| A69533 | Tell us plainly what you mean by a Bishop? |
| A69533 | The Fifth DISPUTATION: Of Humane CEREMONIES: Whether they are necessary, or profitable to the Church, and how far they may be imposed or observed? |
| A69533 | The Papists that differ among themselves about these points, can yet hold Communion in one Church: and can not you with us? |
| A69533 | The good man hearing these scornful words, it struck into his mind to know who that Alexander the Collier was? |
| A69533 | They had men enough to make Deacons of, even s ● ven in a 〈 ◊ 〉: And who will believe then that they could find none to make such Elders of? |
| A69533 | They take it to be intolerable confusion to have diversity in these things: what say they? |
| A69533 | Thus also it is that they put off family prayer, and ask,[ Where are they bound to pray in their family Morning and Evening?] |
| A69533 | To this I have given him an Answer in my Key for Catholicks, where he shall see whether Papists or Protestants are for King- killing? |
| A69533 | Try whether I have not proved it before? |
| A69533 | V. Whether Humane Ceremonies be Necessary or Profitable to the Church? |
| A69533 | WHether a stinted Liturgy or Form of worship be a desirable means for the peace of these Churches? |
| A69533 | WHether humane Ceremonies be Necessary or Profitable to the Church? |

| A69533 | Was not Stephen or Philip sufficiently qualified to have been a subject Elder? |
| A69533 | Was not great Gregory of Naocesarea a Bishop with his seventeen souls? |
| A69533 | Was there no Church- Government before the dayes of Constantine the Emperour? |
| A69533 | Was there such a Ministry, or such love and concord, or such a godly people under them in the Prelates reign? |
| A69533 | We are all now at Liberty what Gesture we will use in singing Psalms,& c. and is here any discord hence arising? |
| A69533 | Were there in the Territories persons enough to make many Assemblies, or only so few as might travel to, and joyn with the City Assembly? |
| A69533 | Were they given only to Apostles for themselves, or to convey to others? |

| A69533 | What a perverse preposterous Reverence is this? |
| A69533 | What abominable thing is imposed by the Directory? |
| A69533 | What abundance of observations do the Iesuites, Franciscans, Dominicans, Benedictines, Carth ● sians, and others differ in? |

| A69533 | What confusion will be brought into the Church if Pastors be not obeyed in things lawfull? |
| A69533 | What could the enemy of the Church say worse? |
| A69533 | What could the most Schismatical Papist say more? |
| A69533 | What excellent things doth Thuanus speak of the Presbyterians or Calvinists? |
| A69533 | What form and proportion the Temple where we meet shall have, is left to men: whether we shall preach in a Pulpit? |
| A69533 | What if all the Churches that have no Prelates were unchurched? |
| A69533 | What if he read his prayers, and I say mine without book; or what if he pray in white, and I in black? |
| A69533 | What if it be wholesome? |
| A69533 | What if these things had all been commanded by a General Council? |
| A69533 | What is a City to God any more then a Village, that for it he should make so partial an institution? |
| A69533 | What is a Papist if this be none? |
| A69533 | What is a Pastor, but the guide of a Congregation in the worship of God? |
| A69533 | What man of honour and wit among you, will give every man leave to be your Steward, that hath but folly and pride enough to think himself fit for it? |

| A69533 | What personal communion can they have that know not nor see not one aonther? |
| A69533 | What power shall such have? |
| A69533 | What proportion is there in this way of Government, that an hundred or fifty men shall have as many Governours as a Million? |
| A69533 | What then are we arrived at, that have forsaken the whole Church herein? |
| A69533 | What want you for the exciting of dull affections, that God hath not provided you already? |

| A69533 | What''s Pride and arrogancy, if this be not? |

| A69533 | Will it not content you that you have freedom your selves to do that which seemeth best in your own eyes, unless all others be of your opinion? |
| A69533 | Will they ever be yielded to by so many Churches? |
| A69533 | Will they not tell us, we have somewhat else to do? |
| A69533 | Will they turn Schismaticks that have spoken against Schismaticks so much? |
| A69533 | Will you be fiercer against us then the Iesuites against the Dominicans? |
| A69533 | Will you not be confounded before God, when these Questions must be answered? |
| A69533 | Will you say, If that will not down with him, he shall have none: let him die? |
| A69533 | Will you see the field lost for a point of Order, because you will not do the work of a Commander? |
| A69533 | Will your Ceremonies come after and teach us better then all these Means of God will do? |
| A69533 | Would no Chu ● ch hold their own, and bear witness against the corruption and innovations of the rest? |
| A69533 | Would no Church or no persons in the world, contend for the retention of the Apostolical institutions? |
| A69533 | Would they not ruine the Church and do as they have done, if they had power? |
| A69533 | Would you have a Directory for Prayer, Confession and Thanksgiving? |
| A69533 | Would you have a stated day for Gospel- worship in Commemoration of the work of our Redemption? |
| A69533 | Would you have denyed Communion to the Apostles and all the Primitive Church for some hundreds of years, that never used your Book of Common Prayer? |
| A69533 | Would you have exciting mystical instituted signs? |
| A69533 | Would you have forms of Words for Prayer and Praise? |
| A69533 | Would you have it go with us to Eternity? |

| A69533 | Would you have men taught by a Form of words? |
| A69533 | Would you have plain Teaching in season and out of season? |
| A69533 | Would you know the difference? |
| A69533 | Would you not have a chief Schoolmaster in every School, or Town, for fear the Land should be pestered or overwhelmed with School- masters? |
| A69533 | Yea in the s ● me Nation, why may not several congregations have the liberty of differing in a few indifferent ceremonies? |
| A69533 | Yea or give them leave to do it, without his commission? |

| A69533 | You do all this for Peace with Episcopal Divines: and where is there any of them that is worthy so studious a Pacification? |

| A26919 | But how can God be fit for mortals to converse with, when they see him not, and are infinitely below him? |
| A26919 | But how can sin Eventually be, if God decree it not, seeing all Events are from his Will? |

| A26919 | But if they be foolish, ungodly and dishonest, how loathsome is their conversation? |
| A26919 | But is he esteemed as your God, if he have not the Command, and if he have not the precedency of his creatures? |
| A26919 | But perhaps you will say, that this is not easily attained: How shall we know that he is our friend? |
| A26919 | But the most desirable society is no solitude: saith Hierome[ Infinita eremi vastitas te terret? |
| A26919 | But what Master loveth to see his servant sit down and Think when he should be at work? |
| A26919 | But what is the Impress that the Being of God must make upon the Soul? |
| A26919 | But what need we further proof when we have the common experience of all the world? |
| A26919 | But where is thy sting when sin is gone? |
| A26919 | But will the hypocrite delight himself in the Almighty, or will he alwaies call upon God? |
| A26919 | But you will say, Is there any that hold such odious doctrines? |
| A26919 | But, you''l say, If God had rather men did not sin, why doth he not hinder it? |
| A26919 | CHristians, expect to be conformed to your Lord in this part of his Humiliation also: Are your friends yet fast and friendly to you? |
| A26919 | Can I draw near to judgement? |
| A26919 | Can I think of dying? |
| A26919 | Can I think of everlasting joyes in Heaven? |
| A26919 | Can any thing be more sure, then that God is the Righteous Governour of the world? |
| A26919 | Can any thing give that which it hath not? |
| A26919 | Can he give Bread also? |
| A26919 | Can he provide Flesh?] |
| A26919 | Can he that is most neerly present with thy thoughts, be regardless of them? |
| A26919 | Can not we be content to take up short in this life, when we believe Eternity? |
| A26919 | Can not you see that which all the world revealeth? |
| A26919 | Can the side that God is on be conquered? |
| A26919 | Can two walk together except they be agreed? |
| A26919 | Can two walk tother unless they be agreed? |
| A26919 | Can we be ignorant of him, when the whole Creation is our Teacher? |
| A26919 | Can we forget him, when all the world are our remembrancers? |
| A26919 | Can we pass him by that is everywhere present, and by every Creature represented to us? |
| A26919 | Can we stop our ears against the voice of Heaven and Earth? |
| A26919 | Can you so much miss them for one day, that must live with them to all eternity? |
| A26919 | Can you take pleasure in dwelling with the consuming fire? |
| A26919 | Can you think your Children and Friends that are with Christ, are not safer and better than those that yet remain with you? |
| A26919 | Canst thou not afford to work out the day light of this life, when thou must Rest with Christ to all Eternity? |
| A26919 | Canst thou not run with patience so short a race, when thou lookest to so long a Rest? |
| A26919 | Canst thou not watch one hour with Christ, that must Reign with him to all Eternity? |
| A26919 | Could I not Love, or Think, or Feel at all, methinks I were less dead than now? |
| A26919 | Could you then aggravate it so many waies( and justly) and now do you justifie or extenuate it? |
| A26919 | Dare you contend against the Holy Ghost for the integrity of your natures, or the honour of your cure? |
| A26919 | Dare you think that there was wanting either wisdom or goodness, justice or mercy in Gods disposal of your friend? |
| A26919 | Did not God, and Heaven deserve more of your serious thoughts then any thing else that ever they were employed on? |

| A26919 | Did you improve your friends while you had them? |
| A26919 | Did you not often joyn in prayer with them, for deliverance from malice, calamities, troubles, imperfections, temptations and sin? |

| A26898 | And what were they that would thus follow him? |
| A26898 | And when they excommunicated and silenced those that affirmed it? |
| A26898 | And where was their Church then? |
| A26898 | And whether Christ did not( foreseeing such things) far otherwise decide this question, Who shall be greatest? |

| A26898 | But another alledgeth the Apostles and Prophets Tradition: But what''s the proof? |
| A26898 | But be the Man Heretick or not, what justice was in these pitiful Prelates that condemned him, and durst not hear him speak? |
| A26898 | But did not Bellarmine know how much more sharp and virulent Accusations Popes have laid on one another? |

| A26898 | But is there either Priest or Lay- man that when he is dying begs help of the King for the saving of his soul? |
| A26898 | But is this good Law, or Divinity? |
| A26898 | But may not one that believeth not in God, or Christ, or the Life to come, say all this, that he desireth and endeavoureth to know the truth? |
| A26898 | But must they follow Bishops without using their own judgments about the Case? |
| A26898 | But really Sirs, do you think that these men would teach you better? |
| A26898 | But seriously, do you not know my Judgment? |
| A26898 | But the question was, Whose Government they were now fallen under? |
| A26898 | But they must not do it by their own judgment: By whose then? |

| A26898 | He is blind that sees not what would become of the Church, were it not for the Ministry? |

| A26898 | Is it lawful to take the same thing for true and false, good and bad de Personis, as our interest requireth? |
| A26898 | Is it not a General Council if the Popes Legates consent till he personally confirm it? |
| A26898 | Is it not horrible Pride if all these silly souls do think that they can do it better themselves? |
| A26898 | Is it not impudent after this, for them to use the Title of Universal? |
| A26898 | Is it not malice or sacrilegious covetousness that frameth this accusation? |
| A26898 | Is it not one thing to Fine, and Beat, and Banish, and Kill a Man, and another to sentence him unmeet for Church- Communion? |
| A26898 | Is it not written, Iudge not that ye be not judged? |

| A26921 | And if created Love be so necessary, so active, so communicative, how much more will the infinite Love of the Creator be? |
| A26921 | And if other mens Words and Writings are ble mished with so much imperfection, why should think that my own are blameless? |
| A26921 | And if this could be proved, what would it tend to the unbelievers ends, or to the disadvantage of our hopes and comforts? |
| A26921 | And is it Heaven that cost so dear a price for me, and is the End of so wonderful a design of Grace, and shall I be unwilling now to receive the gift? |
| A26921 | And is it not Mercy from God to make me weary of it? |
| A26921 | And is it not better in the Hand of my Redeemer, and of the God of Love, and Father of Spirits? |
| A26921 | And is not a Day with them better than a Thousand here? |
| A26921 | And is not all good and amiable better than a little good with so troublesome a mixture of noisome Evils? |
| A26921 | And is not my passage secured by the Love of my Father, and the Resurrection and Intercession of my Lord? |
| A26921 | And is not that a more holy and glorious place and state, than this below? |
| A26921 | And is not the rest that turneth into Blood and Flesh, of the same general kind with that which is turned into loathsom filth? |
| A26921 | And is not their sensual pleasure of the same Nature as ours? |
| A26921 | And is not this according to thy Word and Will? |
| A26921 | And is not this much of the end of life? |
| A26921 | And is not this to be partly a God to my self? |
| A26921 | And is the Joy of Angels and the heavenly Host as nothing to me? |
| A26921 | And is this a dwelling fit for thy delight? |
| A26921 | And is this renouncing the World, and trusting Christ for Life everlasting? |
| A26921 | And is this tumultuous, militant, yea, malignant World, a place that I should be loth to leave? |
| A26921 | And it is my certain duty to seek Heaven with all the fervour of my Soul, and diligence of my life: And is it not Best to find it? |
| A26921 | And may I not trust him to save me who hath already saved Millions in this way? |
| A26921 | And more familiarly with my old Acquaintance, Pupils, and dear Friends? |
| A26921 | And now Lord, what wait I for? |
| A26921 | And now should a Man be loth to die, for fears of leaving such troublesome costly Learning and Knowledge, as the wisest men can here attain? |
| A26921 | And now, O my Soul, consider how mercifully God hath dealt with thee, that thy streight should be between two conditions so desirable? |
| A26921 | And of all things surely a departing Soul hath least cause to fear, the losing of its notice of the Affairs of the World? |
| A26921 | And of greater Patience than m ● ● r Nature gave thee? |
| A26921 | And shall I be towards my self, so much of Satans mind: He would not have me come to Heaven: And shall I also be unwilling? |
| A26921 | And shall I know less of Earth from Heaven than I do now? |
| A26921 | And shall I not follow him through Death, and trust such a Guide and Captain of my Salvation? |
| A26921 | And shall I now distrust him at the last? |
| A26921 | And shall I think with cold or little Love, of such a God, and such a Saviour? |
| A26921 | And shall I yet doubt of the Celestial Society and Glory? |
| A26921 | And shall Peter say more confidently,[ Thou knowest that I love thee] than[ I know that thou lovest me?] |
| A26921 | And shall a worldly backward Heart overcome the teachings of Nature, Scripture, the Spirit of Grace, and all Experience? |
| A26921 | And shall accidental love make me desire the company of a frail and mutable Friend? |
| A26921 | And shall my foolish Soul thus wildly fly from the Face of God? |
| A26921 | And shall not the Thoughts of the heavenly Mansions, Society and Delights, much more allure and draw up my desires? |
| A26921 | And shall not the love of such a Father be trusted, and the presence and pleasing of such a Father be desired? |
| A26921 | And shall not this ingrafted inseparable love, make me long to be with Christ? |
| A26921 | And shall we now let the Tempter shake it or discourage it? |
| A26921 | And shall we unman our selves? |
| A26921 | And should I not think of it more pleasedly because my God and Father, my Saviour, and my Comforter is there? |
| A26921 | And should not my suffering be God''s School; should I not learn obedience by it? |
| A26921 | And that ruled me by so Holy and Just a Law? |
| A26921 | And then were I forsaken of the sober and peaceable, as I am in part of some quarrelsom Dividers, how tolerable a tryal would it be? |
| A26921 | And therefore what wonder if in Apoplexies,& c. such Operations are intercepted? |
| A26921 | And though I am naturally loth to be absent from the Body, let me be by his Spirit more unwilling to be absent from the Lord? |
| A26921 | And to hear the Sentence of my departure to my God? |
| A26921 | And what Causality the Parents Soul hath to the production of the Childs? |
| A26921 | And what a benefactor would the Sun be to the World? |
| A26921 | And what a torment must it be to a considering mind, to be uncertain what to Intend and Do in all the tenour and actions of his life? |
| A26921 | And what am I better than my fore- Fathers? |
| A26921 | And what each Object is to the Constitution or production of the act? |
| A26921 | And what good is it but that which seemeth good for the Body? |
| A26921 | And what have I that I have not received? |
| A26921 | And what if its profound Vitality, Self perception, and Self- love be by a kind of Sensation and Intuition, rather than by Discursive Reason? |
| A26921 | And what maketh the Society of Saints so sweet as holy Love? |
| A26921 | And what reason have I now to be unwilling either to live or die? |
| A26921 | And what should I do with a Horse when I shall need to ride or travel no more, or with a Pen when I must write no more? |
| A26921 | And what the Causa finalis doth to it? |
| A26921 | And what they promised and vowed to do? |
| A26921 | And what though Bruits have Sense and Affection, doth it follow therefore that we have none now? |
| A26921 | And what though God give not to all men an overcoming measure, nor to the best so much as they desire? |
| A26921 | And what though I know not now fully what service it is that I must do? |
| A26921 | And what though it must be so? |
| A26921 | And what we know not, Christ, that prepareth and promiseth it, doth know: And is that nothing to us, if really we Trust our Souls to him? |
| A26921 | And what wonder if it Operate no further than Objects are admitted? |
| A26921 | And what would I not suffer for such a fight? |
| A26921 | And when God will call me to a more glorious Vision, and Fruition in Heaven, shall I draw back and be unwilling to go? |
| A26921 | And when this Learning is got, how uncertain are we whether the words have no ambiguity? |
| A26921 | And whence should all this be in man and not in Beasts, if man had no further reason of hopes and fears then they? |
| A26921 | And whether separated from the Body, they operate in and by any other Vehicle, or without, and how? |
| A26921 | And whether the Body be animated as Vegetative or Sensitive before the entrance of the rational Soul? |
| A26921 | And whither should I look for Rest but home to my heavenly Father and to Thee? |
| A26921 | And who is fittest to do it? |
| A26921 | And who knows what Perfect Sight, Knowledg, Love, and Joy are, but by perfect Seeing, Knowing, Loving, and Rejoicing? |
| A26921 | And who will let go his present welfare, without some hope of better as a reward? |
| A26921 | And whom should we hear so willingly, so obediently as Christ? |
| A26921 | And why doth my Soul imprisoned in Flesh no more desire it? |
| A26921 | And why fear we that which endeth all our pains and fears? |
| A26921 | And why may I not accordingly put my self as into the case of them, who saw all Christ''s Miracles and saw him risen and ascend towards Heaven? |
| A26921 | And why not hereafter as well as now? |
| A26921 | And why should I strive by the fears of Death, against the common course of Nature, and against my only hopes of Happiness? |
| A26921 | And why then should they think whither soever Souls go, that they cease their individuation) When they go among individuals? |
| A26921 | And will Christ love me better than I love my Body? |
| A26921 | And will he forsake the Habitation which his love hath chosen? |
| A26921 | And will he not shew it? |
| A26921 | And will it be a comfort to a man in such torment to tell him, that he is God? |
| A26921 | And will it not be better with Christ than here? |
| A26921 | And will it not entertain my separated Soul? |
| A26921 | And will not his will and choice be best? |
| A26921 | And wilt thou forsake a sinner in his extremity, who consenteth to thy Covenant, and would not forsake thee? |
| A26921 | And wilt thou not willingly go, when infinite fatherly Love doth call thee? |
| A26921 | And would I not have my Prayers heard, and my desires granted? |
| A26921 | And would I now undo all, or Cross and frustrate all his Operations? |
| A26921 | And would mens Thoughts of the Churches needs detain them? |
| A26921 | And would thou not see the Sun? |
| A26921 | And wouldst thou not see it, where it shineth forth in fullest Glory? |
| A26921 | And yet, alas, how cold are our desires to the time and place where we shall have much more? |
| A26921 | And, alas, how ordinarily doth some carnal a ● fection corrupt the appetite of the Soul? |
| A26921 | Are such as these meet for his work, his Love, his Acceptance, or his Kingdom? |
| A26921 | Are the Stars which I see less substantial than a Carkass in a darksom Grave? |
| A26921 | Are we vile dirty Sinners in Flesh now fit for heavenly sights or joys? |
| A26921 | Art thou a Lover of Holiness, and of Love itself, and wouldst thou not be united to the Holy who are made of Love? |
| A26921 | Art thou a Lover of Wisdom, and wouldst thou not be united to the Wise? |
| A26921 | Art thou a hater of enmity, discord and divisions, and a Lover of Unity here on Earth, and wouldst thou not be where all the just are One? |
| A26921 | Art thou afraid to go to him who is the only cure of thy fears? |
| A26921 | Art thou not desirous of his presence? |
| A26921 | As I said before, what a penury, and yet redundancy of words have we? |
| A26921 | As if itself, and all the Creatures, and God were nothing, or no fit Objects for a Soul? |
| A26921 | As this World hath used thee, it would use thee still, and it will use others? |
| A26921 | At how cheap a rate to my Flesh could I have got the Applause of factious men, if that had been my end and business? |
| A26921 | Away, away, the vindictive Flames are ready to consume this sinful World? |
| A26921 | Aweary of exciting Divine Love, and exercising it in Divine Praise, which are the works of Angels, and all the heavenly Host? |
| A26921 | Aweary of speaking to my heavenly Father, for endless Blessedness, upon such joyful terms of Hope as he hath given me? |
| A26921 | Aweary of the Thoughts of the City of God, the heavenly Society and Work? |
| A26921 | Be not so unthankful, O my Soul, as to question doubtingly whether thy heavenly Father, and thy Lord doth love thee? |
| A26921 | Be not then foolishly distrustful and inquisitive? |
| A26921 | Bruits have Life: And must we therefore have no Life hereafter, because it is a thing that''s common ● oBruits? |
| A26921 | But alas, how deaf is Flesh to Reason? |
| A26921 | But are they in Heaven such visible and shaped Bodies as they appeared on the Mount? |
| A26921 | But are they not a cause that Mercy can forgive? |
| A26921 | But are we not always so? |
| A26921 | But can not God cause as a Creator, by making that which is not himself? |
| A26921 | But doth not this laying so much on Tradition favour Popery? |
| A26921 | But hast thou not mercy also to give me, even that Fitness, and that Faith? |
| A26921 | But how are we sure that these three men tell us nothing but the Truth? |
| A26921 | But how are we sure who our selves never saw the Person, Miracles, Resurrection, Ascension of Christ, that the History of them is true? |
| A26921 | But how came Moses to have a Body on the Mount, who is said to have been buried, and therefore took none with him into Heaven? |
| A26921 | But how did Peter know Moses and Elias, whom he had never seen before? |
| A26921 | But how is it that Christ is said, to learn obedience by the things that he suffered, and so to be made perfect? |
| A26921 | But how then cometh my Soul to be yet so low, so dark, so fond of this wretched Flesh and World, and so backward to go home, and dwell with Christ? |
| A26921 | But if the Soul existed not till its incorporation, what wonder if it Operate but ut forma, when it is united to the Body for that use? |
| A26921 | But is such Patience a better and sweeter life, than rest and joy? |
| A26921 | But it is not incongruous to say, What would I not do? |
| A26921 | But this would equalize the Good and Bad, or at least those that were good in several degrees; And where then were the Reward and Punishment? |
| A26921 | But was there any doubt to be made between Christ''s interest and his own? |
| A26921 | But what is there so desirable in this Life? |
| A26921 | But what was it that they talkt about? |
| A26921 | But what was the Introduction to this Apparition and Transfiguration? |
| A26921 | But who can see cause to dream of such a partition, never threatened by God? |
| A26921 | But why depart we from things certain, by such presumptions as these? |
| A26921 | But with how many allays are such comforts here mixed? |
| A26921 | But, O my Soul, what need''st thou be troubled in this kind of streight? |
| A26921 | But, Why did Christ shew this Vision but it Three of his Disciples? |
| A26921 | But, Why did not these Three Apostles tell any of this Vision till after Christ''s Resurrection? |
| A26921 | But, alas, what power hath selfishness in most? |
| A26921 | Can Faith live in the Dark? |
| A26921 | Can I see the Light of heavenly Glory, in this darksome shell and womb of Flesh? |
| A26921 | Can not we lie in Bed without Boots and Spurs? |
| A26921 | Can not we sit at home without a Horse or Coach? |
| A26921 | Can the Plants for Life, or the Eye for Light, go up unto the Sun? |
| A26921 | Canst thou forget the sealed Testimonies of it? |
| A26921 | Changed by Custom, or Arbitrary design? |
| A26921 | Conscience hath replied, that This is my infirmity? |
| A26921 | Could they forget all this? |
| A26921 | Did Christ tell them of it, as not knowing it before? |
| A26921 | Did God love none from the beginning of the World, but Henoch and Elias? |
| A26921 | Did I not even now repeat so many as should shame thy doubts? |
| A26921 | Did he live and die to make me Rich or advanced in the World? |
| A26921 | Did he love me in my youth and health? |
| A26921 | Did he need their comfort, as Angels in his trials ministred to him and strengthned him? |
| A26921 | Did they hear what they said, or did Christ after tell them? |
| A26921 | Didst thou not find a need of patience to undergo them? |
| A26921 | Do not my fellow Creatures die for my daily Food? |
| A26921 | Do we not know what Knowledge is? |
| A26921 | Dost thou not judge thy self unworthy of Eternal Life, when thou no more desirest to enjoy it? |
| A26921 | Doth God in great Mercy make pain and feebleness the Harbingers of Death, and wilt thou not understand their business? |
| A26921 | Doth God or I know better what he hath yet to do? |
| A26921 | Doth he want either Shill, or Will, or Power? |
| A26921 | Doth not the Spirit of Adoption incline us to love our Fathers presence, and to be loth to be long from home? |
| A26921 | Doth the Soul cease its increase in vigorous Perception, when the Body ceaseth its increase or vigor of sensation? |
| A26921 | Doubtless it will be a living, perceiving, sensible Recipient, of the felicitating Love of God and my Redeemer? |
| A26921 | Even of thy sinful Neighbours, who in the midst of Light still live in darkness? |
| A26921 | For if the Soul cease to be, it can not pass into another Body, nor can it re- enter into this? |
| A26921 | For one that will indeed comfort you? |
| A26921 | For what conceptions can we have of a Spiritual Body? |
| A26921 | Had I a Friend now that did for me but the hundredth part of what God doth, how dearly should I love him? |
| A26921 | Had it no other individual to illuminate or to terminate its beams or action, were it nothing to illuminate the common Air? |
| A26921 | Hast thou been seeking, and praying, and labouring, and suffering so many Years, for that which now thou seemest scarce willing to obtain? |
| A26921 | Hast thou not the Witness in thy self? |
| A26921 | Hast thou so oft groaned for the general blindness and wickedness of the World, and art thou loth to leave it for a better? |
| A26921 | Hath Christ done so much to purchase the heavenly Glory for thee, and now art thou unwilling to go into the possession of it? |
| A26921 | Hath Grace been so long preparing me for Glory, and shall I be loath to take possession of it? |
| A26921 | Have I lived in the experience of it, and shall I die in the doubts of it? |
| A26921 | Have they done for thee what he hath done: Are they Love itself; Is their love so full, so firm and so unchangeable as his? |
| A26921 | Have thy pains, thy weariness, thy languishings, thy labours, thy cares and fears about this Body, been pleasing to thee? |
| A26921 | He hath given me his Son as the great Pledge of his Love: And what then will he think too dear for me? |
| A26921 | He hath made me a Member of his Son, and so far already united me to him: And will he not take care of the Members of his Son? |
| A26921 | He is Essential Infinite Perfection, Power, Wisdom and Love? |
| A26921 | He is my Father and special Benefactor; and hath taken me into his Family as his Child: And shall I not trust my heavenly Father? |
| A26921 | He is not bound to tell us why: But we may know that a sight of heavenly Glory is not to be ordinarily expected on Earth? |
| A26921 | He is there to prepare a place for me, and will take me to himself? |
| A26921 | Here are Sound and Orthodox Ministers of Christ: But how few that most need them know which are they, and how to value them or use them? |
| A26921 | Here is much historical Truth, and some Civil and Ecclesiastick Justice; but, alas, with how much odious falsehood, and injustice is it mixed? |
| A26921 | How Holy a Doctrin doth Peter himself deliver as confirmed by this Apparition? |
| A26921 | How can the will of Man have greater honour, than to be the same with the will of God? |
| A26921 | How come the Stars therein to be so numerous, which are of the same Element? |
| A26921 | How congruously did he choose every place of my Ministration, and Habitation to this day, without my own forecast or seeking? |
| A26921 | How delightful will it be to see their Perfection in Wisdom, Holiness, Love and Concord? |
| A26921 | How easily shall I then confute the cavils of all our present Unbelievers? |
| A26921 | How else knew they what Satan said and did to him in his Temptations in the Wilderness, and on the Pinacle of the Temple? |
| A26921 | How evident and clear then will every thing appear to me? |
| A26921 | How far beyond my expectation hath Divine Mercy encouraged me in his Sacred work? |
| A26921 | How great a deliverance will it be, to be freed from the temptations, and the inordinate love, and cares, and fears for this corruptible Flesh? |
| A26921 | How great a difference was there between Mount Sinai and this Mount? |
| A26921 | How joyfully shall I bless him that by that immortal Seed did regenerate me to the hopes of Glory? |
| A26921 | How knew they what his Prayer was in his Agony? |
| A26921 | How little clearer is my sight, and little quicker are my perceptions, of unseen things, than long ago? |
| A26921 | How many Thousand bitter or contemning Thoughts have I had of all the glory and pleasures of this World? |
| A26921 | How many Thousand love tokens from God have called me to believe and taste his Goodness? |
| A26921 | How many Thousand strong and healthful Persons have been taken away by Death, whilst I have been upheld under all this weakness? |
| A26921 | How many comfortable Hours have I had in the Society of living Saints, and in the love of faithful Friends? |
| A26921 | How many days in publick and private we spent in preparation and in some prospect of the Blessedness which now they enjoy? |
| A26921 | How many hundred studious Days and Weeks, and how many hard and tearing Thoughts, hath my little, very little knowledg cost me? |
| A26921 | How many weaning experiences? |
| A26921 | How much doth Love in the affairs of men? |
| A26921 | How oft hast thou commanded 〈 ◊ 〉 to Rejoice? |
| A26921 | How oft hath he succoured me, when Flesh, and Heart, and Art have failed? |
| A26921 | How oft hath it looked up, and gasped after him, and said, O when shall I be nearer and better acquianted with my God? |
| A26921 | How oft have I said, Whom have I in Heaven but Thee, and there is none on Earth I desire besides Thee? |
| A26921 | How oft wouldst thou have rejoyced to have seen but the dawning of a Day of Universal Peace and Reformation? |
| A26921 | How profitable have their Writings, their Conference, and their Prayers been? |
| A26921 | How should it lose its formal Power? |
| A26921 | How small is our knowledg in comparison of our Ignorance? |
| A26921 | How suitable to his Love, and to the Nature of our Souls, and to the operations of every Grace? |
| A26921 | How sure is the Promise of God? |
| A26921 | How sweet hath one wise and holy( though weak and blemished) companion been to me here on Earth? |
| A26921 | How sweet hath the Neighbourhood of the godly been? |
| A26921 | How sweet have the holy Assemblies? |
| A26921 | How sweet is the remembrance of the communion which I had with many of them in Shrewsbury and other parts of Shropshire? |
| A26921 | How vain a Creature then were Man; and how little were the difference between waking and sleeping? |
| A26921 | How various and numerous are they in the Sea, and on the Land, and in the Air? |
| A26921 | I have had Forty years added to my Daies, since I would have been full glad of Hezekiah''s promise of Fifteen? |
| A26921 | I have nothing to do with my Tongue and Pe ●, but to speak to thee, and for thee, and to publish thy Glory and thy Will? |
| A26921 | I have prayed in hope: I have laboured, suffered and waited in hope: And by thy Grace I will die in hope? |
| A26921 | I have too much loved it, and am too loth to leave it? |
| A26921 | I shall know how God produceth Souls? |
| A26921 | I shall know how far the Soul is receptive? |
| A26921 | I shall know how far the semen in generation is animated: And how the animated semina of two make one? |
| A26921 | I shall know how the Soul doth act upon it self, and what acts it hath that are not felt, in sleep in Apoplexies, and in the Womb? |
| A26921 | I should have nothing to care for, but to please God and to be pleased in him, were it not for the care of this Bodily life? |
| A26921 | If Christ must have men from Heaven to talk with him of his Cross, what cause have we to study the Cross? |
| A26921 | If God will justifie, who shall condemn? |
| A26921 | If Heaven be not better for me than Earth, God''s Word and Ordinances have been all in vain? |
| A26921 | If I am not willing I am not yet sufficiently prepared? |
| A26921 | If I be ● ● eve not this, how do I take him for my God? |
| A26921 | If I desire any thing more than God, what sinfulness is in those desires, and how sad is their signification? |
| A26921 | If a man be but uncertain what he should make the End of his Life, or what he should live for, how can he pitch upon an uncertain End? |
| A26921 | If he be for me, who shall be against me? |
| A26921 | If his, is it not he that must tell me what, and when, and how long? |
| A26921 | If not, why should it now in its painful languor, seem to thee a more pleasant habitation than the glorious presence of thy Lord? |
| A26921 | If the Divine Nature and Image, and the Love of God shed abroad on the Heart, be not our Excellency, Health, and Beauty, what is? |
| A26921 | If the Jews discerned the great love of Christ to Lazarus by his Tears, canst not thou discern his Love to thee in his Blood? |
| A26921 | If thou Lord shouldst mark Iniquity, O Lord, who should stand? |
| A26921 | If thou hadst been but one Year kept in absolute darkness, wouldst thou have no desiring thoughts of light? |
| A26921 | If you are convoying your Child in a Boat, or Coach, by Water, or by Land, and at every turn he be crying out[ O Father, whither do we go? |
| A26921 | In all places where I have lived, how many excellent Souls( though here they were not perfect) are gone to Christ? |
| A26921 | In the Grave it will be at rest, and not tormented as now it is, nor wish at Night, O that it were Morning; nor say at Morning, when will it be Night? |
| A26921 | In the will of men, or Angels, or in our own wills? |
| A26921 | Is Faith no knowledge? |
| A26921 | Is any love comparable to his? |
| A26921 | Is he not fitter to know and choose, and dispose of me, than I am? |
| A26921 | Is he the God of the Mountains and not of the Valleys? |
| A26921 | Is his mercy clean gone for ever? |
| A26921 | Is it Christ''s Godhead, or his Humane Soul, or his Humane Body, that we shall be Present with, and united to, or All? |
| A26921 | Is it any strange thing for Fire to ascend? |
| A26921 | Is it because that Death stands in the way? |
| A26921 | Is it better than the dwelling place of perfect Spirits? |
| A26921 | Is it my own, or his? |
| A26921 | Is it not God himself that hath caused me to hope; was not Nature, Promise, and Grace from him? |
| A26921 | Is it not appointed for all men once to die? |
| A26921 | Is it not certain that one Man is not another? |
| A26921 | Is it not certain, that some men are in torment of body and mind? |
| A26921 | Is it not certain, that there are baser creatures in the World, than Men or Angels? |
| A26921 | Is it not far better to dwell with GOD in Glory, than with sinful men in such a World as this? |
| A26921 | Is it strange that Rivers should hasten to the Sea? |
| A26921 | Is it unsuitable or hard to the Eye to see the Sun and Light? |
| A26921 | Is it we or God that must choose his Servants, and cut out their work? |

| A26921 | Is not God the Living God? |
| A26921 | Is not God''s Will Infinitely better than mine? |
| A26921 | Is not a competent time of great Mercy on Earth, in order to the unseen felicity all that the best of men can hope for? |
| A26921 | Is not all this Evidence true and sure? |
| A26921 | Is not the heavenly communion then desirable, where every Man shall have his Own, and yet his Own be common to all others? |
| A26921 | Is not the way of Life, through the Valley of Death, made safe by him that conquered Death? |
| A26921 | Is not thy Body, while the parts by a uniting Soul are kept together and make One, in a better state than when it is crumbled into lifeless dust? |
| A26921 | Is not thy Foundation firm? |
| A26921 | Is the Jerusalem above, the Glorious Company of Saints and Angels, no better and more desirable a sight, than Moses and Elias were on the Mount? |
| A26921 | Is there no growth of these apprehensions more to be expected? |
| A26921 | Is there no more acquaintance above to be here expected? |
| A26921 | Is there no remedy? |
| A26921 | Is there such a dissimilitude of Saints in Heaven? |
| A26921 | It is incongruous to say, What would I not give for such a sight? |
| A26921 | It is that which all lower grace doth tend to, as Childhood doth to Manhood: And what is a world of Infants comparatively good for? |
| A26921 | It will not there by tyed to a body of cross interests and inclinations, which is now the greatest snare and enemy to my Soul? |
| A26921 | It''s worse than madness to be surprized with Sufferings and Death, before it''s seriously forethought of? |
| A26921 | Lord, I have lived in hope? |
| A26921 | Many a time have I cryed to the Lord in my trouble and he hath delivered me out of my distress? |
| A26921 | Many a weary Night and Day: What cares, what fears, what griefs, what groans hath this Body cost me? |
| A26921 | Must I desire to please him no better than I do in this imperfect state, in which I have, and do so much which is displeasing to him? |
| A26921 | Must I sit down in so low a measure, while I am drawing nearer to the things believed? |
| A26921 | My Faith hath oft been helpt by such experiences, and shall I forget them? |
| A26921 | No Man loveth evil, as evil, but as some way a real or seeming good? |
| A26921 | No sweeter foretast? |
| A26921 | Nor fuller silencing of doubts and fears? |
| A26921 | Nothing ever lay so heavy on my Heart as the sin and misery of Mankind, and to think how much of the World lyeth in folly and wickedness? |
| A26921 | Now the Question is, Is it certainly the very same Fact and Doctrine which they received, and which we receive? |
| A26921 | O blessed be God for Commands and Holy Duty: For they are equal to Promises: Who can fear that he shall lose by seeking God? |
| A26921 | O how frail, how uncertain, how bad a thing is depraved Man? |
| A26921 | O how great a part of Christianity is it, to understand and rightly bear the Cross? |
| A26921 | O may I not be put to that dreadfull case, to cry out, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
| A26921 | O pitty them who are left a while under the temptations, dangers and fears which have so long been thy own affliction? |
| A26921 | O that I had no worse causes of my unwillingness yet to die, than my desire to do the work of life for my own and other mens Salvation? |
| A26921 | O then let me long to be with him? |
| A26921 | O then, for what should my Soul more pray, than for a clearer and a stronger Faith? |
| A26921 | O what a blessed World would it be? |
| A26921 | O what a sight, what a joyful sight will Death shew me by drawing aside the vail? |

| A26921 | O what holy, glorious, joyful Company shall we have above? |
| A26921 | O where is the seeing, the longing, the rejoicing and triumphing Faith? |
| A26921 | Of how little use is it to know what is contained in many Hundred of the Volumes that fill our Libraries? |
| A26921 | Of how various and uncertain signification? |
| A26921 | Oh how unexcusable am I for every weary Prayer or Meditation of such a Glory? |
| A26921 | Or any Friend so boldly to be trusted? |
| A26921 | Or as if that which in our compounded state, doth Operate on and by its Organs, had no other way of Operation without them? |
| A26921 | Or at least of all those ordinary Christians who saw all the wonders done by the Reporters of these things? |
| A26921 | Or by it to see the beautified World? |
| A26921 | Or could they doubt whether he or his Persecutors were the stronger, and liker to prevail at last? |
| A26921 | Or for a Man to love his Life or Health; his Father or his Friend? |
| A26921 | Or is the means of our good to be accused? |
| A26921 | Or is this World a place for building Tabernacles, where we may see the Lord, and take up our rest? |
| A26921 | Or like a guilty Cain? |
| A26921 | Or like an unbelieving Sadduce, that either believeth not, or hopeth not for, the forgiveness of sin, and the life Everlasting? |
| A26921 | Or set them by at our Journeys end? |
| A26921 | Or that we shall have none hereafter? |
| A26921 | Or what Love, and Joy are but by loving and rejoicing? |
| A26921 | Or what shall I do? |
| A26921 | Or who can live with displeased men, and not feel some of the fruits of their displeasure? |
| A26921 | Our Artes loquendi, dicendi,& disserendi? |
| A26921 | Our Friends are our helpers and comforters; but how oft also are they our hinderers, troubles and grief? |
| A26921 | Patience in it while God will so try thee, is thy duty? |
| A26921 | Peter was not weary with the sight of this heavenly Apparition: Why should I be weary of the believing contemplation of greater things? |
| A26921 | Seeing then Love hath ripened me for itself, shall I not willingly drop into its hand? |
| A26921 | Shall I have no more of the heavenly Life, and Light, and Love? |
| A26921 | Shall I love the Name of Heaven, better than Heaven itself? |
| A26921 | Shall I not Trust, and quietly Trust, that Infinite Wisdom, Love, and Power, whom I have so long trusted, and found so good? |
| A26921 | Shall I not come more willingly to the Celestial Feast? |
| A26921 | Shall his Children be like the fearful Hare? |
| A26921 | Shall my Soul be sensless? |
| A26921 | Shall pain or dying make me doubt? |
| A26921 | Shall that which is now the form of be then more Lifeless, Sensless, or uncapable than the form of Bruits is now? |
| A26921 | Shall the imagination of House, Gardens, Walks, Libraries, Prospects, Meadows, Orchards, Hills, and Rivers, allure the desires of deceived Minds? |
| A26921 | Shall we say that he liveth not because Bruits live? |
| A26921 | Shall we so often grieve the Spirit of God, and not be grieved? |
| A26921 | Should I fear a darksom passage into a World of perfect LIGHT? |
| A26921 | Should I fear to go to LOVE itself? |
| A26921 | Should I not love a Lovely and a Loving World much better than a World where there is comparatively 〈 ◊ 〉 little Loveliness or Love? |
| A26921 | So much knowledge of good and evil in lower matters, as came to us by sin, is unworthy of our fond tenaciousness, and fear of losing it? |
| A26921 | So that if such a nature Act not, it must be because its natural Inclination is hindred by a stronger; And who shall hinder it? |
| A26921 | Spirits are Essentially Active, Intellective, and Volitive: And will God continue such Essential Powers in vain? |
| A26921 | Sure it is not true that the Souls of the Fathers before Christ''s coming did not enter into Heaven, but lay in some inferiour Limbus? |
| A26921 | That Henoch and Elias at their entrance into those Regions laid by their Bodies, and became such as Abraham, and other holy Souls? |
| A26921 | The Holy Scriptures are precious, because I have there the Promise of Glory; but is not the Possession better than the Promise? |
| A26921 | The Sun doth not decay by its wonderful Motion, Light and Heat: And why should Spirits? |
| A26921 | The eye of my Understanding, and all its Thoughts will be useless or vexatious to me, without thine illuminating Beams? |
| A26921 | The insensible Creatures are but Beautified by the Suns communication of its Light and Heat; but the sensitives, have also the Pleasure of it? |
| A26921 | The particular uses of this speech we know not? |
| A26921 | The poor Heathen, Infidel, Mahometane Nations have no Preachers of the Gospel? |
| A26921 | The same difficulty poseth us about the risen Body of Christ: He would not have Mary touch him because he had not yet ascended to his Father? |
| A26921 | Then I shall know clearly why( or to what use) God prospered the wicked, and tryed the Righteous by so many afflictions? |
| A26921 | There are Worthy and Religious Families which honour God, and are honoured by him: But, alas, how few? |
| A26921 | There are the heavenly Hosts whose holy Love and Joyful Praises I would fain be a partaker of? |
| A26921 | These stand up against all that is said; and words will not overcome them: what then must be done? |
| A26921 | Think, O my Soul, what the Suns quickening Light and Heat is to this lower corporeal World? |
| A26921 | This is the Fruit of Sin, and Nature would not have it so: I mean the Nature of this compound MAN: But what though it be so? |
| A26921 | This proveth infallibly the Tradition of the same Faith in the Essentials: But how prove you that the same Holy Scripture is delivered as uncorrupted? |
| A26921 | This was not to make it known to Christ, who came into the World to die for sin: What then was it for? |
| A26921 | This would make it much easier to me to believe that there is certainly a future blessed life for Souls; while I even tasted how God loveth them? |
| A26921 | Thou describest the kindness of the Dogs to a Lazarus that lay at a rich Man''s Doors in Sores? |
| A26921 | Thou hast joyfully lived with many of them here; and is it not better be with them there? |
| A26921 | Though the three Disciples were admitted to this glorious Society, how different was their case from that of Christ, and Moses, and Elias? |
| A26921 | Though these delights are far above those of sensual S ● ● ners, yet alas, how low and little are they? |
| A26921 | Thy desires to be nearer to his glory? |
| A26921 | To Love him more? |
| A26921 | To know him better? |
| A26921 | To my inferiours God hath made me in my low capacity somwhat helpful? |
| A26921 | To seek his Prerogative to thy self is vain usurping arrogance? |
| A26921 | To thee, O my Saviour I commit my Soul; it is thine own by Redemption; it is thine own by Covenant? |
| A26921 | Union will make his pleasure to be much mine? |
| A26921 | Unwilling to be with Saints and Angels, who are all Life,& Light, and Love? |
| A26921 | Unwilling to see the Glory of Jehovah? |
| A26921 | Was not Lazarus in the Bosom of God himself? |
| A26921 | Was not the Feast of of Grace, as a Sacrament of the Feast of Glory: Did I not take it in remembrance of my Lord until he come? |
| A26921 | Was that Mount a better place than Heaven? |
| A26921 | Were it not for Bodily Interest, and its Temptations, how much more innocently and holily might I live? |
| A26921 | What Pleasures be they that steal away mens Hearts from the heavenly Pleasures of Faith, Hope, and Love, but the Pleasures of this Flesh? |
| A26921 | What Soul then on Earth can possibly conceive how great a pleasure it will be for a glorified Soul to see the Lord? |
| A26921 | What a Dungeon is this Flesh? |
| A26921 | What a mixture, what a discord would there be in my expressions? |

| A26921 | What am I to those more excellent Persons whom in all Ages he hath taken out of the World? |
| A26921 | What are two or three in such a Society? |
| A26921 | What blessed preparations are made for our Hope? |
| A26921 | What but the Body and its Life, and Pleasure is the chief Objective alluring cause of all this sin and misery? |
| A26921 | What can we conceive of more certainly, than of Life, and Light, and Love; of a Region, and of Persons essentiated of these? |
| A26921 | What cost too great for one Hours talk with such a Messenger? |

| A26921 | What have I to rejoice in, if this hoped Glory, be not my joy? |
| A26921 | What if he will continue my life no longer, who ever pray for it, and how earnestly soever? |
| A26921 | What is done in the World that is good, but by LOVE? |
| A26921 | What is in me that I should expect exemption from the common lot of all Mankind? |
| A26921 | What is it but our separation to God as his peculiar beloved People? |
| A26921 | What is it but the Interest of this Body, that standeth in competition against the Interest of our Souls and God? |
| A26921 | What is our Hope but the Hope of Glory? |
| A26921 | What is sin but a willful forsaking of God? |
| A26921 | What less can the Promise of being with him signifie? |
| A26921 | What need we to preach, hear, read, pray, to bring us to Heaven when we are there? |
| A26921 | What pleasant retirements and quietness in the Countrey have been the fruits of persecuting Wrath? |

| A26921 | Yea, to rejoice with exceeding and unspeakable joy: And how fain would I in this obey thee? |
| A26921 | after they had seen the Kingdom of God come in Power, and Christ''s Face shine as the Sun in its brightness? |
| A26921 | and after all this shall I not trust him? |
| A26921 | and am almost there where belief must pass into sight and love? |

| A26921 | and feel what Life and Love are? |
| A26921 | and of an Abortive? |
| A26921 | and see what Light is? |
| A26921 | and that when I am so dark and low? |
| A26921 | and whether they take with them any of the fiery Nature as a Vehicle or as a constitutive part? |
| A26921 | and whither should Christ''s Members, and holy Spirits go, but to himself, and the heavenly Society? |

| A26921 | my weary hours, and my daily experience of the Vanity and Vexation of all things under the Sun, had I not a prospect of a comfortable end of all? |
| A26921 | not by Nature; for its Nature hath nothing that tendeth to deterioration, or decay, or self- destruction? |
| A26921 | or must I take up with the passive silence and inactivity, which some Fryars persuade us is nearer to Perfection? |
| A26921 | or question them without cause at last? |
| A26921 | or that he is part of an universal Soul? |

| A26921 | without it, who shall plead thy Cause against the Devil, World and Flesh? |
| A26921 | yea or the fiery Principle of Vegetation in a Tree, to carry up the earthy matter to a great procerity? |

| A27069 | Alas, how few in England, Ireland, or any Countrey know what the Council of Chalcedon did, or ever heard it? |
| A27069 | Alas, who can be saved on these Mens terms? |
| A27069 | All are free from believing in the Pope; we believe in God, but not in the Pope: who of us ever charged you to do so? |
| A27069 | All hard words: Had I put him but to have told us the meaning of these also, what work should I have made him? |
| A27069 | All things were to be done decently, and in order: And yet, who ever said, but you, that all this is essential to the Church? |
| A27069 | And I believe your second: but do not you see that you desert your Cause? |
| A27069 | And Oportet discentem credere fide humanâ, that is, he must suppose his Teacher wiser than himself, or else how can he judge him fit to Teach him? |
| A27069 | And Pope and Council dare not, or can not, or will not determinate what maketh a Christian or member of their Church? |
| A27069 | And after all this what is it that he denyeth? |
| A27069 | And also that Tradition not written in the Bible be believed? |
| A27069 | And are all these now absolved from heresie? |
| A27069 | And are not these Audible and Visible to the World? |
| A27069 | And are we indeed agreed? |
| A27069 | And are we not yet so far right and reconciled? |
| A27069 | And by them a Speech of the Pope''s Legates goeth for proof of the Judgment of the Council: But what was that Speech it self? |
| A27069 | And can we find the Church by them then? |
| A27069 | And did I not adde, the constitutive parts are Christ and Christians, as the pars imperans& subdita: are there more notifying words in use? |
| A27069 | And did they mean that this belonged ever to Constantinople, and that of Divine Right? |
| A27069 | And do all their Historians erroneously number their Schisms? |
| A27069 | And do not Heathens do the same? |
| A27069 | And do not Protestant Libraries contain such professions, and their Pulpits ring of them every Lords Day? |
| A27069 | And doth not Gods Veracity give Veracity to the Speaker, and use it? |
| A27069 | And doth not every novice in Logick know this? |
| A27069 | And doth not this great Disputer know that the Arch- Bishop of Bostra was in the Empire, though it were in Arabia Petraea? |
| A27069 | And have not I professed it in sixty Volumns and more? |
| A27069 | And how can we dispute intelligibly, when you can no better explain your terms? |
| A27069 | And how can we expect contradiction of an action done a thousand miles off, which none near knew of? |
| A27069 | And how come Words spoken, to be more intelligible than words written? |
| A27069 | And how comes importing to be put instead of necessity to salvation? |
| A27069 | And how long after this was it that all History tells us the Muscovites and Russians( that were not Gothes) were converted to Christianity? |
| A27069 | And how the Hereticaters can know the sufficiency of the proposals to others? |
| A27069 | And how then shall we believe the Popes own authority? |
| A27069 | And how will he know who they are? |
| A27069 | And if Ieremias had a mind to Rule further than the Empire, now the Empire is Mahome ● … an, and Subjects Voluntary and free, what wonder is it? |
| A27069 | And if any little part of it were visible, what''s that to the rest? |
| A27069 | And if any were, how inconsiderable their number was, ● … nd on what occasion it was like that they were voluntarily there? |
| A27069 | And if his Consecration be not necessary to Episcopacy, how will you prove Ordination necessary to the Priesthood? |
| A27069 | And if so, what is proper to the office? |
| A27069 | And if these prove not an universal Sovereignty of the Patriarch of Constantinople, whether the like or less will prove it for Rome? |
| A27069 | And if they were obliged, what''s that to notifie the, Tradition of all the absent Churches? |
| A27069 | And is all the rest come now to be no Heresie? |
| A27069 | And is he therefore out of the Empire because in Coelosyria? |
| A27069 | And is here any notice how to know a member of their Church any more than in the former? |
| A27069 | And is it lawful for a Subject to subtract himself from the obedience of a lawful Pastor because he is a scandalous Offender? |
| A27069 | And is it my hard fate to become a Heretick more than all the rest of my neighbours, because I have read your Councils when they have not? |
| A27069 | And is not the Gospel then made uncertain by you, which must be believed on the authority of an uncertain Ministry? |
| A27069 | And is that an office properly Ecclesiastical and Sacred, which may be exercised by others not of that office? |
| A27069 | And may not Parish- priests have so also over the people? |
| A27069 | And may not one of us, or any Christian perswade a Man to be Subject to the Church of Christ? |
| A27069 | And may not ordained Presbyters ordain much more? |
| A27069 | And may they not be credible Witnesses against him till he consent? |
| A27069 | And must I suspend my reception of the Pope till the Abassines, Armenians, Greeks, yea or Mexicans, and the Antipodes signifie their satisfaction? |
| A27069 | And must men know all that distinctly, which they Believe not distinctly but in their general? |
| A27069 | And must poor mens Faith and Consciences be thus laid upon a game at Cheating Words? |
| A27069 | And must subjection come in for heresie? |
| A27069 | And must we therefore have as many symbols of Christianity as there are various degrees of Understandings? |
| A27069 | And now see how he talketh? |
| A27069 | And now, Reader, I leave it to thy reason whether this man have given us any regardable notice at all, what is Heresie? |
| A27069 | And of the Prophets and Apostles? |
| A27069 | And of those that Honour their Names how few know what they held? |
| A27069 | And seeing Cardinals are the newest way of Election, is not the newest likest to be the abuse? |
| A27069 | And still the question recurreth, what is it that must be particularly believed to essentiate the Church? |
| A27069 | And then what notice had men in the long Schisms, which was the true Pope? |
| A27069 | And then( suppose it were to Avignion, or to Constantinople) where is St. Peter''s Successor? |
| A27069 | And they that followed Dioscorus at Alexandria( being Orthodox), as they that adhered to Proterius? |
| A27069 | And till you have proved it, what need they, or I care for yoùr words? |
| A27069 | And to end all doubts, the Subscriptions shew that they were not there; shall we not believe your own Books, and our own Eyes? |
| A27069 | And to know that this Universal Tribunal is infallible, before they believe in Christ himself, who is supposed to give them their Infallibility? |
| A27069 | And was Palestine without the Empire? |
| A27069 | And was he Pope or no before this acquiescing? |
| A27069 | And was he not concerned to do it? |
| A27069 | And was not Thebais in the Empire? |
| A27069 | And were not your Popes so ordinarily, till Hildebrand got the better of the Emperor? |
| A27069 | And what Indian, or Armenian, or Persian Bishops were imposed or deposed by the Pope of Rome? |
| A27069 | And what a Society is that where the reception of the Pars Imperans is not necessary to every subject? |
| A27069 | And what a priviledg hath the Pope or a Patriarch above an inferiour Christian? |
| A27069 | And what an useless thing to they make Gods Word, that they may set up their own Expositions in its stead? |
| A27069 | And what are those? |
| A27069 | And what but the sword doth make your cause to be better than theirs? |
| A27069 | And what is Implicite belief of Popish Traditions in particular, but the explicite belief that all Popish Traditions in general are true? |
| A27069 | And what is Mission besides those three, which is also so necessary? |
| A27069 | And what is Sufficiency? |
| A27069 | And what is that? |
| A27069 | And what is the foundation of this faith? |
| A27069 | And what meaneth he by Iurisdiction that was wanting? |
| A27069 | And what need I more? |
| A27069 | And what of that? |
| A27069 | And what then? |
| A27069 | And what then? |
| A27069 | And what way must the Churches satisfaction be notified to me? |
| A27069 | And what wonder while they are so imperfect in knowledg, and all grace? |
| A27069 | And what''s this but the same again? |
| A27069 | And when every Bishop used what Liturgy he pleased in his own Congregation, Was there then no Communion between the Churches? |
| A27069 | And when no Man can resolve us, whether[ properly so called] must be expounded by Etymology, or by the Canou; and by what Canon? |
| A27069 | And when was Ethiopia and Persia subject to you? |
| A27069 | And whence is this strange difference? |
| A27069 | And whether she might not as well read what is written already? |
| A27069 | And whether she would stay till we had done our writings, which might possibly be some years? |
| A27069 | And whether this faith do not go to essentiate a Christian and a member of the Church? |
| A27069 | And which way, or by what Revelation did God confer this Infallibility on the Church? |
| A27069 | And who knoweth not, that the word Diocess signified then a part of the Empire? |
| A27069 | And who knoweth other mens hearts better, You or They? |
| A27069 | And who knoweth when that first act was in being, seeing the will doth still will its own future action? |
| A27069 | And who knoweth which of these parts was the Church? |
| A27069 | And who knows by this what your All is? |
| A27069 | And why do not Hierome, Chrysostome, Augustine,& c. Exhort Me ● … and Women to read the Councils as much as the Scriptures? |
| A27069 | And why do you make such a stir in the world to affright poor people to believe and be subject to your Pope? |
| A27069 | And why is not He as much the Greek Church as Ieremias?) |
| A27069 | And why? |
| A27069 | And yet can not Protestants be saved for want of the right belief? |
| A27069 | And yet do they writeso many Volumes to the contrary? |
| A27069 | And yet how few Priests or Prelates are they whose authority fame publisheth without contradiction? |
| A27069 | Any extra- Imperial Bishops put in or out, or suspended by them? |
| A27069 | Are not Men as Men, and governable by the Sword, as visible as Men as Christians, and governable by the Word and Keys? |
| A27069 | Are they therefore no competent witnesses of a matter of fact? |
| A27069 | Are we not agreed there is such a thing? |
| A27069 | Are we not all of that Faith which believeth somewhat in General( even that all Gods Word is true) and somewhat in Particular? |
| A27069 | Armenians are now subject to you? |
| A27069 | As if, when the Question is, Whether Canis, properly so called, do generate, or do give suck? |
| A27069 | As in the case of the Popes Soveraignty, when two or three parts are against it, and the rest for it: Doth salvation lye on this? |
| A27069 | But 1. when I talk but of two faiths conjunct, what if I called the former divine faith, only the Christian faith? |
| A27069 | But I enquired of the causes or evidences by which a Bishop may be known from a Usurper, what it is that maketh him a Bishop? |
| A27069 | But Protestants profess,& c. Here 1. he wanteth form also;[ All] is wanting: as if a definition, were not Universal or equipollent? |
| A27069 | But Reader, hath God left us so much in the dark? |
| A27069 | But Sir, are these[ some things] essential to Christianity and Church- membership, or not? |
| A27069 | But all the doubt is, by whom it must be delivered, by the Pastors or people, or both? |
| A27069 | But are these Priests capable persons or not? |
| A27069 | But are your matters of order and discipline no matters of faith? |
| A27069 | But can customs be known as well over all the world? |
| A27069 | But can we know that Christ instituted them before we know that there is a Christ, or that he is true Christ? |
| A27069 | But did he make them any Lawes himself? |
| A27069 | But do Bishops become such by their birthright and hereditary Title? |
| A27069 | But do not they judg of them, that burn them, and depose Princes for not exterminating them? |
| A27069 | But do you Papists agree in all points of Faith? |
| A27069 | But do you think that he meaneth as he seemeth to mean? |
| A27069 | But do you think that no part of Arabia was in the Empire? |
| A27069 | But had these Ancients Tradition for their opinion or not? |
| A27069 | But hath the Pope gone no further than this? |
| A27069 | But he saith, Is it possible for two Persons to be Papists, and one to destroy his Christianity and the other not? |
| A27069 | But how came Cyprian then so much mistaken, that said, Plebs maximam ● … abet potestatem — sacerdotes indignos recusandi? |
| A27069 | But how should a man know to whom it doth belong to judg who is fit to be an Elector? |
| A27069 | But how should we joyn with Men many hundred or thousand miles off us in Word and Sacraments, otherwise than by useing those of the same species? |
| A27069 | But how unhappy a thing is Knowledge then; and how blessed a thing is Invincible Ignorance, which may prevent so many Mens Damnation? |
| A27069 | But if Writing will serve, why not God''s writing as well as theirs? |
| A27069 | But if any particular belief be necessary, can not it be known what it is? |
| A27069 | But if my Parish- priest be but one of twenty or an hundred thousand, doth my culpable ignorance of his authority cut me off from all the Church? |
| A27069 | But is any man ever the nearer the knowledg of their minds by this? |
| A27069 | But is it certain or uncertain? |
| A27069 | But is it not incumbent on you to prove it? |
| A27069 | But is that enough? |
| A27069 | But is there any man that hath no error? |
| A27069 | But is this enough for you? |
| A27069 | But it is, what is the faith which is essential to a member of the Christian Church? |
| A27069 | But may the Church Universal erre in Excommunicating, or not? |
| A27069 | But such are they in question,& c. Do you so oft say, that less than all the Creed is necessitate medii to be believed? |
| A27069 | But tell us, if you can, when the Greek Church, or Patriarch of Constantinople did presume to Excommunicate us? |
| A27069 | But the question is, How shall I know what makes a true Bishop according to the Laws of God? |
| A27069 | But the question is, What they are? |
| A27069 | But we are never the nearer knowing their Church by this, while we are not told who the subjects are, and what maketh a visible subject? |
| A27069 | But what good will well- doing do to such a one as you, where the better it is, the worse you like it? |
| A27069 | But what if I believed in my conscience that most of the Church is unsatisfied in the Election? |
| A27069 | But what if you had told us how to know those men that are certain or eminent members of your Church? |
| A27069 | But what is Teaching, but Teaching the Learner to know the same things that the Teacher doth, by the same Evidence? |
| A27069 | But what is that he meaneth? |
| A27069 | But what is the Church that must be satisfied? |
| A27069 | But what is the proof of this assertion? |
| A27069 | But what mean you by common consent of the people? |
| A27069 | But what meaneth that hard word The true Church? |
| A27069 | But what need there then so many Ambages and large Volumes, to bring out such a short and crude Assertion? |
| A27069 | But what of that? |
| A27069 | But what''s all this to our Controversie? |
| A27069 | But what''s this to those many hundred years before, when the Empire was not so dismembered? |
| A27069 | But when did the Universal Church constitute your Cardinals to be the Electors? |
| A27069 | But where''s his Proof? |
| A27069 | But where''s your proof? |
| A27069 | But who made such a Law for all the world? |
| A27069 | But who shall be Judge? |
| A27069 | But who will believe the latter, and when will he prove either? |
| A27069 | But why must[ immediate] come in? |
| A27069 | But why pretend you then the peoples consent, when you plead it unnecessary? |
| A27069 | But will these wavering men long stand to this, and confess their Sect to be but a fourth or third part of the Church? |
| A27069 | But would one ever have expected this from a Jesuit or Roman Priest? |
| A27069 | But, Reader, is Perpetuity any proof of an Essential? |
| A27069 | By what Authority can you require me, if you name Men by an hundred Nick- names, to tell you all over which of these I account Christians? |
| A27069 | Can I speak plainer? |
| A27069 | Can any Man doubt of this? |
| A27069 | Can any Man want an Implicite belief, that wanteth no Explicite belief? |
| A27069 | Can not you judge by their Baptism, Creeds, and Profession of Christianity, till you are told their Opinions in controverted things? |
| A27069 | Can the Unity be perfect while all our uniting Graces are imperfect? |
| A27069 | Can they of Abassia tell what are the true Traditions of all the Christian world, that have Traditions in their own Countrey so different from ours? |
| A27069 | Can we know as easily what are the Traditions of Abassia, Armenia, Syria, Egypt,& c. as of England? |
| A27069 | Can you also prove that all accidents, that is, Relation, may be separable from Families, Schools, Kingdoms, without destroying them? |
| A27069 | Can you be true Pastors without derivation from, and dependance on the Pope; or be so known by the People? |
| A27069 | Can you know their minds and customs, by saying that they were obliged by the Decrees? |
| A27069 | Canus tells us, that most of the Churches and the Armes of Emperors have fought against the Roman privileges? |
| A27069 | Contempt of most of the body of Christ, is one of the great proofs that you are all the Church: And did not the Donatists say the same before you? |
| A27069 | Could not an Angel from Heaven have called them? |
| A27069 | Dare any man deny it? |
| A27069 | Dare you say that this is not our Duty? |
| A27069 | Did he make Alexandria, Antioch Patriarchates, and divide to all other Bishops their Seats and Provinces? |
| A27069 | Did not the Arrian Goths live out of the Empire in Power? |
| A27069 | Did not the Primitive Persons, who begun your breach and party, owe subjection to their respective Ecclesiastical Superiors, Diocesans and Pastors? |
| A27069 | Did not the sanctifying work of the Holy Ghost, and divine inspiration joined to it, make the Apostles and Prophets credible persons? |
| A27069 | Did not the union of the Divine nature with the humane, make Christ as man to be credible? |
| A27069 | Did not your first Protestants in Germany separate as much from the Armenians, Ethiopians, Greeks, as they did from the Romans? |
| A27069 | Did the Christian Church use to baptize men that believed neither in Jesus Christ nor the Holy Ghost, if they did but believe a God and a Rewarder? |
| A27069 | Did the Councils of Constance and Basil meet to heal their Schismes, upon mistake when there was no such thing? |
| A27069 | Did the Pope of Rome call to the Councils at Nice, Constantinople, Ephesus, Calcedon ▪& c. all the Bishops of all the extra- Imperial Churches? |
| A27069 | Did they ever profess that a Pope or a General Council can not erre de fide? |
| A27069 | Did they take the prescription of their Liturgies, Discipline or Hierarchy from them? |
| A27069 | Did they upon occasion joyn in Prayer, Sacraments or Sacrifice with them? |
| A27069 | Did those Councils signifie no dissatisfaction of the Church? |
| A27069 | Did you ever read the subscriptions of that Council when you say that the Acts declare that some of the Ethiopian Church were there? |
| A27069 | Did you well to abuse the people so long? |
| A27069 | Did your Ministers first take either Mission or Iurisdiction to preach, from any of their Bishops or Patriarchs? |
| A27069 | Do not I profess it while I write these words? |
| A27069 | Do not Protestants contradict the authority of your Priests, and most of the Christian World the authority of your Pope? |
| A27069 | Do not the Greeks once a year excommunicate or curse you? |
| A27069 | Do not these believe somewhat in general, and somewhat in particular? |
| A27069 | Do not we profess to preferre that which is most ancient, before that which is novel? |
| A27069 | Do not your Writers now ordinarily quit them of such Heresie? |
| A27069 | Do the Quartodecimani, the Luciferians, the Iovinians deny Truthes as sufficiently proposed, as that there is a God, or a Christ? |
| A27069 | Do they not hold it also necessary, that men must take their Church to be the declarer of this Scripture- truth? |
| A27069 | Do they not lament their Schisms? |
| A27069 | Do they not number the Schisms that fell out in 40 or 50 years time and continued? |
| A27069 | Do they that disown the Councils of Constance or Basil, own all the Errors or Schismes which They condemned? |
| A27069 | Do we hold Communion with none that we take not Mission and Iurisdiction from? |
| A27069 | Do you baptize such in your Church? |

| A27069 | He addeth, What would you say to an Arrian, a Turk, or Jew, that would urge the like knowledge or feeling? |
| A27069 | He addeth: A Christian that hath forgotten some sin, yet at death is sorrowful for all his sins; Hath he no actual sorrow for that forgotten sin? |
| A27069 | He addeth[ Had not the Emperours power to signifie to those extra- imperials that a Council was to be celebrated, and to invite them at least?] |
| A27069 | He adds, One that forgiveth all injuries, and hath forgotten some; doth he not forgive those forgotten? |
| A27069 | He ask''d me whether Subordination and Obedience to the same State and Government, is not as well required to our Church as to our Common- wealth? |
| A27069 | He asketh me, Know you not that Divines are divided? |
| A27069 | He denyeth none of my proof, as to explicite belief: And do we need any more? |
| A27069 | He is a strange Priest that hath no Cure of Souls, what then is his office? |

| A27069 | He saith, Prove that there were such Popes? |
| A27069 | He saith, that the Electors must be so esteemed( fit for the charge) by those to whom it doth belong, To whom what doth belong? |
| A27069 | He that believeth all that he should believe is a Christian; But is there any such? |
| A27069 | Here I desired to know of him, whether he meant a power given by God or by men? |
| A27069 | Here is no mention of what extent it must be at all, whether these Prelates must be sent from all the Christian world? |

| A27069 | How little know we of the old Christians, of St. Thomas, and those parts? |
| A27069 | How little of the Bible have General Councils expounded? |
| A27069 | How long will that be their security, if the burning and exterminating Religion should prevail? |

| A27069 | How must he be chosen? |
| A27069 | How oft doth Nazianzene complain, that the Bishops and Councils had distracted and divided the whole World? |

| A27069 | How shall we know that a culpable neglect of a sufficient proposal( through prejudice or temptation) may never stand with Faith? |
| A27069 | How should I make a Man know that is unwilling? |
| A27069 | How should we then know by Fathers, Bishops and Councils, what was their concordant Commentary of the Scripture? |
| A27069 | How then can a Christian be known by himself or others from all the unbelieving world? |
| A27069 | How then doth their rejection signifie that we are not of the same Church? |
| A27069 | I added, Is it necessary for every Christian to be able to weigh the credit of contradicting- parties? |
| A27069 | I asked her, Whether that way was most suitable to her understanding and patience? |
| A27069 | I asked, How shall we know who hath this Episcopal power? |
| A27069 | I asked, What if we be ignorant whether the ordainer had intentionem ordinandi, how shall we be sure of the authority of the Ordained? |

| A27069 | I demanded his Proof that ever there was a Papist, or almost, one Church of Papists in the World for 400 years after Christ? |
| A27069 | I hope we shall find out the Controversie at last; though it seems as hard almost as to resolve it: How oft must I repeat the same Proof? |
| A27069 | I now prove Popery a Novelty; and doth not that then fully prove my Consequence, that the Christian Church was Visible without it? |
| A27069 | I thought you must have proved, that it was out of the Empire; who undertook to prove it as you affirm it? |
| A27069 | I. and all particulars, VVhether they exist or not? |
| A27069 | If Abbots that are no Bishops have Votes in Councils, why not Priests? |
| A27069 | If All, alas, when and where shall we find their agreement in any more than we hold with them? |
| A27069 | If God command them, doth God command any thing which he binds us not to believe to be our duty? |

| A27069 | If he say that it is the people that must choose the Choosers, what people be they? |
| A27069 | If invalid, will the Churches satisfaction make it valid, or make him Pope that was none before? |
| A27069 | If it be by Election, the Electors must have just power to elect? |
| A27069 | If it be not desired that they come, why are they called? |
| A27069 | If man only command them, how cometh our Christianity and Salvation to be laid on them? |
| A27069 | If most, do we not know that the most( two parts to one) are against the Popes Sovereignty; which is Essential to your Church? |
| A27069 | If not General Councils, how shall we know their authority? |
| A27069 | If not, how can a Bishops deputation make them capable? |
| A27069 | If not, what an insufficient thing is your Tradition, that hath not told you what a Christian or Church- member is? |
| A27069 | If not, why must we have it from them? |
| A27069 | If of faith, then I must believe God before I can believe him? |
| A27069 | If of knowledg, what evidences prove it? |
| A27069 | If one Article may be believed without that motive( and sure it is not believed before it is believed) why not others as well as that? |
| A27069 | If our general Faith and theirs be the same, what maketh them accuse us herein as they do? |
| A27069 | If saved, then men that reject the Pope may be saved: And then why ask you us where was a Church that rejected the Pope before Luther? |
| A27069 | If so( which is undeniable,) Why is the Christian World any more a Monster without a Monarch Bishop, than the Humane World without a Monarch King? |
| A27069 | If so, is there any man living that is not an Infidel or Heretick? |
| A27069 | If so, must we know it by Word, or Writing? |
| A27069 | If so, then why is not this Canon produced for the regulating of all other Churches? |
| A27069 | If so, what made him so? |
| A27069 | If so, why may not twenty have the substance at once, or four or five at least? |

| A27069 | If the belief of the Popes Supremacy be essential to some, and only to some, how many must they be that so believe? |
| A27069 | If the latter what is it to us whether Rome be a true Church, any more than whether Ephesus, Thessalonica, or such other be so? |
| A27069 | If the question be, whether there be there fire, water, air, earth, gold, silver, or men or divels, created by God? |
| A27069 | If the question were, Who is the true Husband of such a woman? |
| A27069 | If there are, tell''them me if you can: or, was not this a cavil that had more of Will and Interest, than of Conscience? |
| A27069 | If there be other Schisms besides separating from the whole Church, why should you not here understand it? |
| A27069 | If they had, how come the Recentiors to forsake it? |
| A27069 | If this be enough for Christianity or Concord, why do they call us Hereticks? |
| A27069 | If you be to prove that Cephas was Peter, or Peter was an Apostle of the first place, must you have an universal proposition? |
| A27069 | If you had any better Proof, Why did you not produce it? |
| A27069 | If your Learned Men can not distinguish between Egypt, an imperial Province, and the vast and distant Kingdoms of Ethiopia; What''s that to me? |
| A27069 | Indeed the obstinacy is in both, but radically in the Will; but did Intellectual opposition notifie this? |
| A27069 | Is Christianity any thing or nothing? |
| A27069 | Is consecration necessary, and by whom ad esse? |
| A27069 | Is every man a Heretick that erreth about the sense of any one plain Text of Scripture, or not? |
| A27069 | Is he no Nere ● … ick that denieth the matter revealed, without opposing obstinately the authority revealing? |
| A27069 | Is he not driven up to the Wall, even to another denyal of all Mens Eyes and Ears? |
| A27069 | Is here any word that saith that the Pope was Soveraign of all the Earth? |
| A27069 | Is it any doubt what the orbis universus was? |
| A27069 | Is it by some note of approbation, or by silence? |
| A27069 | Is it come to that, and yet the way of Election all this while made so indifferent? |
| A27069 | Is it enough to confute any evident truth, that there was found some Man that was against it? |
| A27069 | Is it faith, and yet a belief of nothing in particular? |
| A27069 | Is it no Schism to separate from a particular Church, unless from the whole? |
| A27069 | Is it no Schism unless wilful? |
| A27069 | Is it not enough if it were proved a true Church? |
| A27069 | Is it not known that the Quarrel and Breach began long before, about the Title of universal Bishop, though the Greeks did not then excommunicate you? |
| A27069 | Is it not said, that they were of the Province of Scythia? |
| A27069 | Is it nothing to you to leave all the world besides, almost, uncertain whether they be in the Church or not? |
| A27069 | Is it only to know what the Teacher holdeth? |
| A27069 | Is it that Boys have made all our usual Logicks, and now these two Logick Doctors have Reformed them? |
| A27069 | Is it the belief of all that God hath revealed to be believed? |
| A27069 | Is not Risibilis an accident of man and yet inseparable? |
| A27069 | Is not all that which he calleth explicite belief, the meer denomination of the Explicite, from the particulars implyed in it? |
| A27069 | Is not every honest man credible according to the measure of his skill and honesty? |
| A27069 | Is not here difference enough? |
| A27069 | Is not quantity inseparable from a Body or natural substance? |
| A27069 | Is not the Bible a publick testimony and record, and being universally received is an universal tradition? |
| A27069 | Is not the Succession of the Church, as Christian, granted by him? |
| A27069 | Is not the same in all elective Princes, where the extent of their Dominions is exceeding large? |
| A27069 | Is not the same word used of the giving of equal priviledges to Constantinople, as ● … is of giving or deferring it to Rome? |
| A27069 | Is not then the consequence clear, which W. I. is so angry at? |
| A27069 | Is not this Man hard put to it? |

| A27069 | Is not this a false intimation, that I did not cite them? |
| A27069 | Is not this a modest Parenthesis? |
| A27069 | Is not this a notable way to save Parish- priests much labour? |
| A27069 | Is not this a pitiful Proof, that Pisanus''s Canons are authentick and ancient, because Dr. Heylin and Rosse regard them? |
| A27069 | Is not this an accurate reformer of Syllogisms; that amendeth termes that were not written, and talketh like a dreamer of he knoweth not what? |
| A27069 | Is one Man the Greek Church? |
| A27069 | Is the obstinacy that maketh Heresie, in the Intellect or the will? |
| A27069 | Is there any dealing with these false hereticaters? |
| A27069 | Is there no material difference at all between a Christian and a Sadducee, Infidel, Mahometan, or Heathen? |
| A27069 | Is this Roman Divinity? |
| A27069 | Is this a satisfactory answering? |
| A27069 | Is this antiquity and tradition? |
| A27069 | Is this by an act of knowledg, or of divine faith? |
| A27069 | Is this moral certainty, true certaints, or uncertainty? |
| A27069 | Is this necessary to know a Papist? |
| A27069 | Is this no Communion? |
| A27069 | Is your Papacy therefore null? |
| A27069 | It is no Schism if men make a division in the Church, and not from the Church? |
| A27069 | It is probable, though not altogether so certain as the former, that such as believe explicitely the Deity, and that he is a rewarder of our works? |
| A27069 | It may be I believe Pope Nicolas Decrees, that a man must not hear Mass of a Priest that hath a Concubine? |
| A27069 | It''s a dispute among the Papists Divines what a Christian is, or what Christianity is? |
| A27069 | It''s true: But did Anatolias and his Complices, that is, the Council, speak sincerely and truly here, or falsly? |
| A27069 | It''s well we are now quite rid of the old cavil of the Nags- head Consecration: Why was not this confest sooner? |
| A27069 | Judge now whether here be a word of summoning any one Bishop out of the Empire? |
| A27069 | Know you not that he was sent to multiply Christians, and make himself a competent Diocess? |
| A27069 | May none but Bishops and chief Prelates be members( as you say?) |
| A27069 | May not I see you asleep, and think that you are dead? |
| A27069 | May not a humane yet be conjunct with the Christian? |
| A27069 | May not a man firmly believe the Major, that taketh the Minor for a lie? |
| A27069 | May not faith now be wrought by the Preachers word and Spirit? |
| A27069 | May not the world see now what is the foundation of your faith, and the validity of your Authority and Tradition? |
| A27069 | Might not the consent of the neighbour Egyptian Bishops put them out of conceit with that Council, though they owned no Heresie? |
| A27069 | Must I take that man to be no Pope? |
| A27069 | Must I tell you what By Opinions they all hold, that you may judge whether they are Christians or not? |
| A27069 | Must all Men pass for no Christian, that a Priest or Jesuit will say are none? |
| A27069 | Must all the people here take the words of their present Teacher? |
| A27069 | Must every private man be the judge of hi ● … neighbour? |
| A27069 | Must it needs be the formal object of faith? |
| A27069 | Must it not represent all the Catholick Church? |
| A27069 | Must not both these make up their Implicite Faith? |
| A27069 | Must the Greeks and Armenians have Mission,& c, from us? |
| A27069 | Must the word[ Gen ● … s Sarra ● … orum] prove that he was out of the Empire, when part of Arabia † was in it? |
| A27069 | My fourth Question about his definition of the Church was, Why exclude you the chief Pastors that depend on none? |
| A27069 | My next Question was, If I culpably were ignorant but of some few Priests authority among thousands, am I cut off from all the rest, and the Church? |
| A27069 | My third Question about his definition of the Church was, Is it[ any] lawful Pastors, or[ all] that must necessarily be depended on by every member? |
| A27069 | Nay, is a meer general repentance, any actual repentance at all, if it extend to no particulars? |
| A27069 | Nestorius,& c. And doth not Hesichius say as much of Andrew,( cited by me elsewhere?) |
| A27069 | No man can tell by this whether you unbishop all that had but one Parish or Congregation; or only all that had not Presbyters under them? |
| A27069 | No nor when Gregory''s and Ambrose''s Liturgies were striving for pre- eminence? |
| A27069 | Nor the Infallibility of those General Councils, who are accused by Popes and by other Councils of Error, Heresie or Schism? |
| A27069 | Not as whether the heart or head, but a Scab or Cancer, be essential to the body? |
| A27069 | Note Reader, that such a contradiction of any truth revealed by God, doth make a man an Heretick; O then what abundance of Hereticks be in the world? |
| A27069 | Note here whether the Roman Religion be mutable or not? |
| A27069 | Now to answer your Question, what it is whereby our Church- members are known? |
| A27069 | O but saith he, What horrid Doctrine would this be? |
| A27069 | O rare triumphant disputer, why should I not make the praedicate of the Minor the subject of the conclusion? |
| A27069 | Of what Christians? |
| A27069 | Or am I, and all Men, disobliged from loving all those as Christians, whom such as you will affirm to be no Christians? |
| A27069 | Or by the Fathers Catalogues, and by which Fathers( Epiphanius, Philastrius, Augustine,& c.) or by common custom, or by the Pope? |
| A27069 | Or do we read that the Apostles did use that argument, The authority of the Catholick Church, to convert their hearers? |
| A27069 | Or hath this Man pretended to be a Champion in that Art, in which he is below the Novices? |
| A27069 | Or how many will this Leven extend to? |
| A27069 | Or if he had, What''s that to the Pope? |
| A27069 | Or if it be whether the Laws or Canons of a small or Provincial Council, may oblige some men, though it were not general? |
| A27069 | Or is every Priest the Universal Church? |
| A27069 | Or is he Infallible? |
| A27069 | Or is it not fallacious in him that can shew us never a one of them? |
| A27069 | Or that the word of a Jesuite is a sufficient notice to us, what is in the Councils? |
| A27069 | Or the Indians when converted by Frumentius and Edesus? |
| A27069 | Or was he only to convert and gather them to the Church? |
| A27069 | Or what other points of faith are contained in our belief of this Church and its authority? |
| A27069 | Or which of the Cardinals are chosen by the Universal Church, or any other than the Pope himself? |
| A27069 | Or will you say, that he that believes not all that God hath revealed is a good Christian? |
| A27069 | Otherwise every act of the will which is willed by a former act should be called imperate, and so none but the first should be elicite? |
| A27069 | Our Question here was only of the matter of Fact: Whether, de facto, most of the Bishops and Churches have not been against the Papacy? |
| A27069 | Our Question is, Who must choose the Governour of all the world? |
| A27069 | Our question being, What constitut ● … a General Council? |
| A27069 | Q 3. Who are the Pastors whose rejection unchurcheth men? |
| A27069 | R. B. Alas, poor men ▪ are you driven to that? |
| A27069 | Reader is not here an excellent Disputer? |
| A27069 | Reader, if one of us had charged such doctrine on the Papists as this their Champion doth, should we not have been thought to slander them? |
| A27069 | Reader, if these Writers must not be ashamed of their tergiversation, what sort of Disputants should blush? |
| A27069 | Reader, is this any answer to any of the foresaid Objections? |
| A27069 | Reader, see here what an Issue our Dispute is brought to: Can you wish a plainer? |
| A27069 | Reader, what doth this man deserve for thus murdering the Papal cause? |
| A27069 | Reader, wouldst thou have yet more unchristened and damned than all these? |
| A27069 | Remember, Reader, that our question is not what mercy God sheweth to the rest of the world, nor whether any out of the Christian Church be saved? |
| A27069 | Saith he, Doth not this Proposition, Omne animal vivit, contain the substance of these truths, Equus vivit, Leo vivit, Aquila vivit,& c? |
| A27069 | Saith he, Is not an express knowledg of the Genus, a confused knowledg of species under it: and so the species of the individua? |
| A27069 | Say you so? |
| A27069 | Say you so? |
| A27069 | See you not how fair a thred you have spun? |
| A27069 | See, Reader, what the Papacy is come to, if it had not the sword, or ignorance to uphold it? |
| A27069 | Seeing this is not a matter of Revelation, it can be no matter of Divine faith; and if so, how is all other faith resolved into it? |
| A27069 | Shall I prove it to those that have read the Histories of the Councils, or to them that have not? |
| A27069 | Should not Constantinople, and Vienna, and Paris, be preferred before Rome? |
| A27069 | So that the Question, How I must believe the Churches Veracity herein? |
| A27069 | Speak out: Was he the bishop of the Infidels? |
| A27069 | Suppose they had: you say no particular Electors act is necessary ad esse; and why theirs? |
| A27069 | TO his Question, Why we separated from them? |
| A27069 | That at Constance, and Basil, and Pisa, or that at Florence, or the Later ● … ne that de fide contradict them? |
| A27069 | That it is such a belief of all particulars, as is no real actual belief of some of them; and it is an actual belief of other some? |
| A27069 | That men that know all that God hath reveal''d, and believe it, are Christians? |
| A27069 | That out of the Empire the Pope restored Bishops,( and did he depose any?) |
| A27069 | The first and second at Ephesus, or that of Calcedon which contradicteth the first indeed, and the second professedly? |
| A27069 | The man seemeth in good sadness in all this Childish Play; And must Rome be thus upheld? |
| A27069 | The marvellous Logician it seems is but for one mood or figure, but by what authority or Reason? |
| A27069 | The rest should have as fair play, if your interest were but as much for it? |
| A27069 | The true searcher of Hearts? |
| A27069 | The whole Christian World, as Headed only BY CHRIST,( Of which the Reformed are the soundest part) OR, THE POPE of ROME And his SUBJECTS as such? |
| A27069 | There is one Law- giver who is able to save and to destroy; who are you that make Laws for another''s Servants and judge them? |
| A27069 | These are generalities: What Popes? |
| A27069 | This is the man that would not dispute but in meer Syllogism, what need I an universal proposition? |
| A27069 | This was my question to you, Is not your Church then invisible, when no man can know what makes a member of it? |
| A27069 | To be a Member of a Council that hath the Sovereignty, is not to have the Sovereignty: Did you not know this? |
| A27069 | To my Instance of those converted by the English and Dutch in the Indies, he bids me prove them to be instructed in the true Faith? |
| A27069 | To the people, Presbyters, Bishops, Emperours or Cardinals? |
| A27069 | To this he saith, who ever called a King and his Viceroy, a Captain and Lieutenant two Heads? |
| A27069 | To this he saith,[ Why so? |
| A27069 | To this he saith[ Called they them alone? |
| A27069 | To what purpose should I do it? |
| A27069 | Ut suprà, what was said of it before? |
| A27069 | W. J. A ● … d did they profess the same Faith in all points of Faith, and those the very same wherein they dissented from the Church of Rome? |
| A27069 | WHAT mean you by the Catholick Church? |
| A27069 | Was France or Germany the Church? |
| A27069 | Was he not a Bishop there( before he had converted any one) to those seventeen alone? |
| A27069 | Was it all France and that Party, or Germany and that Party that were damned all those times? |
| A27069 | Was it for nothing else that they were judged Hereticks? |
| A27069 | Was it not by Innovation? |
| A27069 | Was it satisfied with those that the foresaid Council condemned as Heretical, wicked, and one of them a Devil incarnate? |
| A27069 | Was there no more in it? |
| A27069 | We beseech you, Vice Christi in Christs stead to be reconciled to God? |
| A27069 | We have heard some things, some things so oft, that we would fain know what things at last, are necessary ut media? |
| A27069 | Were any Concilia ● … Decrees executed on them? |
| A27069 | Were any called, or wrote to under the Name of Provinces, but the Roman Provinces? |
| A27069 | Were it not an impudent thing for any man to call together all the Bishops in the world? |
| A27069 | Were not the Councils of Constance, Basil, Pisa,& c. called to heal them? |
| A27069 | Were the businesses there agitated, any of theirs? |
| A27069 | Were these then Proper Schisms or not? |
| A27069 | Were they his Church? |
| A27069 | Were they no points of Faith, nor the denyal Heresie, for 300 years before the first General Council? |
| A27069 | What Absurdities do you thrust upon us? |
| A27069 | What Councils in particular? |

| A27069 | who would have expected such an answer, That it is a general belief of all things revealed, and a particular belief of some things? |
| A27069 | why then may not a Lay- man be deputed to preach, baptize, pray, consecrate and administer the Eucharist, excommunicate, absolve,& c. if deputed? |

| A26924 | And do you think that Christ will stand to such an Excommunication? |
| A26924 | And do you think that for such fear, and not acting against them we deserve to be cast out as heinous uncapable delinquents? |
| A26924 | And do you think that one Lord- Keeper is fitter to be trusted with the Safety of the Kingdom, than a Parliament and all the Courts of Justice? |

| A26924 | And do you think that the effect of Spanish and Italian Tyranny and Concord, doth answer the cost? |
| A26924 | And do you think then that to deprive the Church of this is a lawful part of Conformity? |
| A26924 | And doth not this contain a Fear of sinning? |
| A26924 | And for the people to be put to question whether they may chuse them for Parliament men? |

| A26924 | And if we prove Ionasses, may we not expect to meet with Storms more terrible than Jails? |
| A26924 | And if you would not say to such, You shall have the Physician which the Patron chooseth or none; Why should you say so of the Pastor? |

| A26924 | And is not the King''s life and welfare the interest of the Kingdom? |
| A26924 | And is not the perfidious Violation of it, a most damning Sin? |
| A26924 | And is not the scrupling of a thing called by others Indifferent, a mote in the eye of many truly godly persons? |
| A26924 | And is not this commendable, and to be cherished? |
| A26924 | And is not this enough? |
| A26924 | And is not this to shut all, or almost all men out of Heaven? |
| A26924 | And is striving or mutual Love and Quietness, a fitter Passage to the dust? |

| A26924 | And may I not hope that the Bishops will be for it? |
| A26924 | And may not these come to the Altar when they please? |
| A26924 | And may they be resisted till they shew their Commissions? |
| A26924 | And may we say that King and Parliament do what these do? |

| A26924 | Why do they Ordain them all to be faithful Dispensers of the Word of God?] |
| A26924 | Why do they not this way decide all the Controversies at Liege, Colen,& c. to make the People determine them by Oath? |
| A26924 | Why do they then charge them with avoiding Vice in Hypocrisie? |
| A26924 | Why do you seem to grant the Bishops and Patrons votes in the choice of Pastors, when before you seem to have much against them? |
| A26924 | Why is not publick Repentance of it proclaimed? |
| A26924 | Why should I deny this? |
| A26924 | Why should they put Apostates or Hereticks to death, any more than Infidels that never believed? |
| A26924 | Why then do they call themselves Christians? |
| A26924 | Why then should they be against it? |
| A26924 | Will Christ that receiveth them to pardon, grace and endless Glory, own these Rejecters and Condemners? |
| A26924 | Will not Drunkards, Fornicators, malignant haters of Holy Life choose men as fit for their turn as will be admitted? |
| A26924 | Will not the experience of 1300 years yet teach us to forbear tearing the Church by unnecessary snares? |
| A26924 | Will not the unconscionable do any thing for worldly Interest? |
| A26924 | Will the Name of Christians save perfidious Hypocrites? |
| A26924 | Will the fear of a Jail make Men believe the Gospel, or Love God? |
| A26924 | Will you deny the Name where there is this Definition? |
| A26924 | Will you give men leave to open all the real Faults they can find in the Diocesan or Parish Churches? |
| A26924 | Will you therefore take them for your Physicians or Lawyers? |
| A26924 | Would you have all Infidels and Pagans baptized, and Communicate without any Profession of the Christian Religion first? |
| A26924 | Yea, do you think that even in circumstances and things doubtful, all good Christians will ever be so much of one measure of knowledge as to agree? |
| A26924 | Yea, or if you knew he would speak amiss? |
| A26924 | Yet further, Why look you not on all the rest of the World, as well as Spain and Italy? |
| A26924 | Yet no man accuseth any of them for being in Plots; and yet must they also be destroyed? |
| A26924 | and are not Men then deprived of the use of it? |
| A26924 | and desire some of these faults to be amended, doth he deserve to be cast out as an impenitent wicked man for this? |
| A26924 | and his Clergy and Lords? |
| A26924 | and if that be it, why may not we be endured to help them for nothing, while we Preach the same Gospel, and submit to beg our Bread? |
| A26924 | and is he not an Enemy to the Kingdom who destroyeth the King? |
| A26924 | and scarce afford the scraps to others? |
| A26924 | and to prevent the Insurrections in the days of Q. Mary, and Q. Elizabeth? |
| A26924 | and what Unity will be in that Church and Kingdom, that will endure none but such as are wiser than you and I? |
| A26924 | and whether they may sit in Parliament while Excommunicate? |
| A26924 | and whom shall the People chuse, and where shall they Assemble? |
| A26924 | can these bones live? |
| A26924 | can you wish for a clearer Exposition? |
| A26924 | how came they by a right to chuse Pastors for all the ● and? |
| A26924 | how many Thousands live quietly in their Communion, who err in greater Matters than a Ceremony? |
| A26924 | how the Reason and Will of Man are moved? |
| A26924 | may it not be counterfeited? |
| A26924 | or disown them that are thus cast out? |
| A26924 | or if it be lawful to do it, and any of them Swear to endeavour it in his place, is he bound to perform that Oath? |
| A26924 | or is it unlawful to obey them? |
| A26924 | or that the second Oath binds not to it because the first did? |
| A26924 | shall I make a Covenant to rob Christ and the Church of visible Members for nothing? |
| A26924 | shall every mistake or errour of Parents deprive the child of Baptism? |
| A26924 | they will say, No: Is it lawful thus to Suborn Men, and put them on so great a Sin? |
| A26924 | was this necessary when Philip said to the Eunuch, If thou believe with all thy heart, thou maist be baptized? |
| A26924 | we have not read the Fathers? |
| A26924 | were it not wiser to cast lots to determine it? |
| A26924 | what did they? |
| A26924 | what is Pharisaical if this be not? |
| A26924 | what is there in it that is contrary to God''s word? |
| A26924 | who are supposed to come by their procurement? |
| A26924 | whose interest requireth it? |
| A26924 | why then may he not force you and your Children, and Servants to hear them, as Catechumens? |
| A26924 | will you become abler to Answer them, when we have Sworn them? |
| A26924 | you are not called immediately by Christ as the Apostles were; who then doth give it you, if not the Ordainers? |
| A26924 | you vowed your self to Christ in Baptism, and you renew the same in the Lords Supper: Are all the latter null, because the first is valid? |
| A26951 | & c. Is there life where there is no motion? |
| A26951 | ( Nay rather let them take heed lest they omit such prescripts:) Or, is it the disorder or defects that makes them odious? |
| A26951 | 2 Remember the continual presence of the most holy dreadful God: And can Pride lift up the head before him? |
| A26951 | 2. Who should bring a sinner to Repentance, whose heart is corrupted with the love of sin? |
| A26951 | A Juda ● kiss is thought sufficient to prove him a true Christian and Pastor of the Church, though it be but the fruit of what will you give me? |
| A26951 | Alas, how dead are our affections? |
| A26951 | Alas, how far have I been from living, as one that seeth the things that he professeth to Believe?] |
| A26951 | Alas, my Lord, is this dark prospect all that I must here hope for? |
| A26951 | Alas, what a deal of sin do we daily see or hear of? |
| A26951 | All this is true; but still we find it a thing impossible to love our neighbour equally with our selves: Can you teach us how to do it? |
| A26951 | Am I not an Apostle? |
| A26951 | And I would further ask you; Do you fear damnation, and Gods wrath, or not? |
| A26951 | And O how full, and how near a treasure hath it to go to? |
| A26951 | And afterward how incessantly was he doing good to mens bodies and souls? |
| A26951 | And among how few is the sin of flesh- pleasing sensuality mortified? |
| A26951 | And another came with a[ Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?] |
| A26951 | And are his rewards no greater than a mans? |
| A26951 | And are not both these suitable to your natural perfection, and necessary to your good? |
| A26951 | And are you exempt from the universal Law? |
| A26951 | And ask your selves daily, How shall I wish at the day of reckoning, that I had expended and used all my estate? |
| A26951 | And can I dream that the vast and glorious Orbs and Regions, are all uninhabited? |
| A26951 | And can it be a lover of earth, and fleshly pleasures, and also a Believer and lover of Heaven? |
| A26951 | And can that man be wise, that foreseeth not his everlasting state? |
| A26951 | And can they be idle, while all this lyeth undone? |
| A26951 | And can we think that GOD is not much more to be trusted, and is not a greater hater of a lye? |
| A26951 | And can you believe this, and yet be so eager to be humoured, and to have all things fitted to your pleasure and desires? |
| A26951 | And do they take the world for vanity and vexation, while they mind and seek it more than Heaven? |
| A26951 | And do we not all profess to believe these things, as revealed from Heaven by the infallible God? |
| A26951 | And do you neither love your souls, nor your lives? |
| A26951 | And do you not believe that it''s he indeed that tempteth you? |
| A26951 | And do you not profess to believe all this? |
| A26951 | And do you not verily believe that all this will very shortly be? |
| A26951 | And do you think God will love you ever the better, for that which is against your wills? |
| A26951 | And do you think, and speak, and pray, and live, as those that do indeed believe it? |
| A26951 | And doth he indeed pray, and labour, and suffer for Heaven, who would not come thither? |
| A26951 | And here the first question shall be, How the Apostles, and all other the first witnesses, knew it themselves? |
| A26951 | And how aptly doth the very permission of sin it self, subserve this end? |
| A26951 | And how basely is it esteemed new by the most? |
| A26951 | And how can that be a duty, which is to nature it self an impossibility? |
| A26951 | And how can that be true Repentance, which changeth not the will and life? |
| A26951 | And how can you justly expect the benefit of such prayers? |
| A26951 | And how can you think of Christ, and not think of his Body? |
| A26951 | And how miserable are they who make such a God their revenging Judge and enemy? |
| A26951 | And how necessary was it that our Sun in glory should continually send down his beams and influence on the earth? |
| A26951 | And how shall a man know his godliness, but by his life as the product of his inward graces? |
| A26951 | And how should men justifie Abraham for k ● lling his only Son? |
| A26951 | And how small a matter is Justification by man, when we may be saved without it? |
| A26951 | And if God be willing, will not you refuse it? |
| A26951 | And if the proudest Gallants can, with their hat at your foot, profess themselves your humble servants, why may not Religious Bride go as far? |
| A26951 | And is it not as great a demonstration of his knowledge also, and of his goodness? |
| A26951 | And is not HYPOCRISIE as visible in their practice, as Christianity in their profession? |
| A26951 | And is not a lively foreseeing faith as effectual? |
| A26951 | And is not a walk in Heaven with better company, a pleasure desirable in such a case? |
| A26951 | And is not that good, which calleth us up to the greatest good, and will not allow us to be such enemies to our selves, as to take up with the lesser? |
| A26951 | And is not this a question that you are most nearly concerned in? |
| A26951 | And is that state better and more desirable, for which all that perish turn from God, and fell their souls, and are befooled and undone for ever? |
| A26951 | And it is very observable, how most of the great changes of the world are made? |
| A26951 | And let it be your next question, What spiritual good may be got by this affliction? |
| A26951 | And let your next question be[ Have I yet got that good which God doth offer me? |
| A26951 | And look up to the heavenly Regions, and think, Is this world so replenished with inhabitants, both Sea, and Land, and Air it self? |
| A26951 | And many terrible texts come into the minds of humble souls, that have right to comfort, and should not be more terrified? |
| A26951 | And mark what contrary answers the flesh and faith will give to it, when it comes to practice? |
| A26951 | And may a believing joyful death be expected, without the preparations of exercise and experience in a believing life? |
| A26951 | And must all these trifles be considered in our Faith? |
| A26951 | And shall I set my heart on that which is not? |
| A26951 | And shall Idleness be excused in us? |
| A26951 | And shall we envy men such a happiness as this? |
| A26951 | And should any be more careful ● to please you, that are but worms and dust, than you should be to please your Maker? |
| A26951 | And should that duty be taken for a burden, which as to my comfort maketh all the wealth, and honour, and Kingdoms of others to be my own? |
| A26951 | And should this heavenly fire be imprisoned in the body, which it should command and move? |
| A26951 | And some Devils would not be cast out without fasting and prayer: And is luxury fit in such a case? |
| A26951 | And that a sadder frame is more awakened, illuminated, fixed, sensible, considerate and fit for great employments? |
| A26951 | And that if ye will be friends of the world, you are Gods enemies? |
| A26951 | And that you would but take his Word to be as sure as sense? |
| A26951 | And the consequents on both parts are intollerable; and how are they to be avoided? |
| A26951 | And then have not all a promise of the same degree which the best attain, conditionally if they do as much as they for it? |
| A26951 | And then who can expect that their consciences should avoid it? |
| A26951 | And what can be more suitable to our miserable state? |
| A26951 | And what can be so bad that a man will not do, if he take it once to be of Gods commanding? |
| A26951 | And what did he ever command you, which was not for your benefit? |
| A26951 | And what he hath declared we may know: But how much more do these men pretend to know, than ever Christ declared? |
| A26951 | And what is the world when Heaven stands by? |
| A26951 | And what it is that the life of man should be spent in seeeking after? |
| A26951 | And what kind of Religious performances are most excellent which we must principally intend? |
| A26951 | And what laborious lives did his Apostles live? |
| A26951 | And when our pravity is undeniable, how credible should it be, that we have such a Law? |
| A26951 | And whether it be not sin it self, which is the first part of all mens hell and misery? |
| A26951 | And who can walk safely in the dark? |
| A26951 | And why is it not foreseen, when it is foreshewn? |
| A26951 | And why should any others be bound to use Justice or Charity to you any more than you to them? |
| A26951 | And why should not others good be secured, as well as your posterities? |
| A26951 | And why should that be my sorrow, which is his benefit, and should be his joy? |
| A26951 | And why so? |
| A26951 | And why then doth the believing of it do no more, when the ● h ● ng is certain? |
| A26951 | And why then should not the believed truth prevail, if indeed you did believe it, when the thing is as sure, as if you saw it? |
| A26951 | And will God reward men for such self- made sufferings? |
| A26951 | And will you grudge them this much? |
| A26951 | And will you grudge to suffer so small and short a chastisement in the way to an endless rest and joy? |
| A26951 | And will you use them to turn your affections from him? |
| A26951 | And would you be in the same condition again? |
| A26951 | And would you wish us to trifle in the sight of Heaven? |
| A26951 | And yet are you Believers, and have none of this? |
| A26951 | And yet do you say that you get not your wealth by any thing that is unlawful? |
| A26951 | And yet that he be so high and near the Father, as may put a sufficient value on his works, and make him most meet to mediate for us? |
| A26951 | And, why doth living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? |
| A26951 | Are they not not now your friends who love you better than they could do on earth? |
| A26951 | Are they not such as were latety near you in the flesh; some of them your dearest companions and friends; and should you causlesly forget them? |
| A26951 | Are they nothing to us? |
| A26951 | Are they taught, or untaught? |
| A26951 | Are we derided, slandered, abused by the ungodly? |
| A26951 | Are you and your party all the world, or all the Church? |
| A26951 | Are you frowned on or contemned by men? |
| A26951 | Are you more offended and grieved when you are crost and hindered in doing good, or when you are crost and hindered from your personal honour? |
| A26951 | Are you only for your present ease? |
| A26951 | Are you really more mortified, more penitent, more humble, more heavenly, more obedient, more patient than you were before? |
| A26951 | Are you slandered by men? |
| A26951 | Are you the better Masters? |
| A26951 | Are you truly willing that thus it should be? |
| A26951 | Are you wronged, oppressed, or trodden on by pride or malice? |
| A26951 | Are your words so much more excellent than the words of others? |
| A26951 | As if he should say, have you the Spirit of Christ, or have you not? |
| A26951 | As we see it in constant experience in men, when they see that they must presently die indeed, how light then set they by the world? |
| A26951 | Ask your selves what you would be found doing if death now surprize you? |
| A26951 | Behind you, upon Time, and say, It is gone, and never will return: and hear conscience ask you, How you spent it, and what you did with it? |
| A26951 | But beyond Sea where it is not so reputed, how ordinarily is it committed? |
| A26951 | But doth not Job''s case tell us, that some afflictions are only for tryal, and not for sin? |
| A26951 | But how can I have faith indeed, and not desire intuition? |
| A26951 | But how shall I know what application to make of Scripture to my self, but by the teaching of the Spirit of God? |
| A26951 | But how then shall I know when it is the Spirit which putteth any thing into my mind? |
| A26951 | But if all be otherwise, alas, where be they, and how few that love their neighbours, or betters, as themselves? |
| A26951 | But if he that hath thousands, and is used to fulness, should be reduced to an hundred, how querulous or impatient would he be? |
| A26951 | But if it be demanded, How did the next Christians of the second age, receive all this from the first Churches, who received it from the Apostles? |
| A26951 | But if while we seek to be justified by Christ, we our selves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the Minister of sin? |
| A26951 | But if yea, then what is it that they serve you for? |
| A26951 | But if yet conscience have not begun to plead this cause against you, let me begin to plead it with your consciences: Are you Believers? |
| A26951 | But if you have not such gain to shew, what wonder if you are weary of the medicine which healeth not? |
| A26951 | But is it by Reason corrupted and by ● ssed by sense, or is it by Reason elevated by faith? |
| A26951 | But is it not lawful to set ones self only to Religion, as John Baptist, Anna,& c. did? |
| A26951 | But is it not the same Spirit which spake to the Apostles, which speaketh to us? |
| A26951 | But is it not worldliness when we follow worldly business, without any need? |
| A26951 | But is not additional grace given by way of reward? |
| A26951 | But no necessity will excuse your worldly love and cares: What will the love of the world do towards the supply of your necessities? |
| A26951 | But shall not all at last be perfect? |
| A26951 | But still the difficulty is, What is the condition to be inserted? |
| A26951 | But suppose it were so, must not others be regarded? |
| A26951 | But the Lord whom we wait for, will once more come and cleanse his Temple: But who may abide the day of his coming? |
| A26951 | But the question is, whether you love God for himself, and as your sanctifier better than you do the gratifying of your flesh? |
| A26951 | But was not labour and toil a curse upon Adam after his sin? |
| A26951 | But what if I find by constant experince, that my soul is more worldly after worldly business, and more cold and alienated from God? |
| A26951 | But what if I find that it hurteth my body to labour; may I not forbear? |
| A26951 | But what if a man can live without labour; may not be forbear who needeth it not? |
| A26951 | But what if they had only doubted of Christs Will? |
| A26951 | But what if you do not? |
| A26951 | But what then shall we think of the children of godly Anabaptists, whose Judgement is against such dedication? |
| A26951 | But when wast thou ever offended at the ambition of loving thee with the most perfect Love? |
| A26951 | But who hath known the mind of the Lord, or who hath been his Counsellor? |
| A26951 | But will this excuse you for loving your riches more than God? |
| A26951 | But wilt thou know, oh vain man, that faith without works is dead? |
| A26951 | But, silly soul, do Physicians use to charm men into health? |
| A26951 | By how small, contemptible and unthought of mean ●? |
| A26951 | Can Faith set open the windows of the soul, and no light of heavenly pleasures enter? |
| A26951 | Can a bird flye that hath a stone tyed to her foot? |
| A26951 | Can any thing in the world be more unlawful and abominable, than to love the flesh and the world, above God and Heaven? |
| A26951 | Can faith save him? |
| A26951 | Can it peruse the Map of the Land of Promise, or see and taste the bunch of Grapes, without any sweetness to the soul? |
| A26951 | Can not a swine have his ease, and meat, and lust, without reason? |
| A26951 | Can not the birds make their nests, and breed, and feed their young, and sit and sing, without an intellectual nature? |
| A26951 | Can we believe that very shortly we shall be there? |
| A26951 | Can we believe that we shall live in Heaven for ever? |
| A26951 | Can you do no more for an endless life, and the escaping of the wrath to come? |
| A26951 | Can you forget that death is ready to undress you? |
| A26951 | Can you have a mind full of lust, and of God at once? |
| A26951 | Can you not say, I am sure that I am regenerate, justified and adopted? |
| A26951 | Can you play, or loiter away your hours, with Eternity in your eye? |
| A26951 | Canst thou possibly forget so great, so sure, so near a day? |
| A26951 | Could not you eat, and drink, and sleep, and play, without an intellectual soul? |
| A26951 | Could they be sensual, ungodly and secure, if they had a faith that serv''d instead of sight? |
| A26951 | Could you be perswaded by any company or recreation, to waste your precious time in vain, with such things in your eye? |
| A26951 | Could you go on to think, and speak, and live as sensually, stupidly and negligently as now you do? |
| A26951 | Could you live as merrily, and sleep as quietly in a negligent uncertainty of your salvation, if you had seen these things, as now you do? |
| A26951 | Could you live at hearts ease, while you know not where you shall be to morrow, or must live for ever? |
| A26951 | Dare you go home, and make a jest at piety, and neglect your souls as you have done?] |
| A26951 | Dare you think that you are more gracious and merciful than God? |
| A26951 | Deal truly, Is it in Heaven or Earth? |
| A26951 | Did God ever frame you so glorious a retinuue, to attend you only to sleep, and laugh, and play, and to be idle? |
| A26951 | Did it not work more compleatly, and unto more infallibility in their writing the Scriptures, than it doth in our Vnderstanding, and obeying them? |
| A26951 | Did they come to Heaven by a worldly, formal, hypocritical, ceremonious Religion? |
| A26951 | Did they spend the day in feasting and sports, and idle talk? |
| A26951 | Did they swagger it out in pride and wealth,& hate their brethren that were not in all things of their conceits? |
| A26951 | Do not many comfortable texts come into the minds of Hypocrites, who are unfit for comfort? |
| A26951 | Do not your sorrows then instead of joyes, tell all men that you believe that your friends are gone to sorrow, and not to joy? |
| A26951 | Do they believe God, that no man shall see him without holiness? |
| A26951 | Do they believe the communion of Saints, while they fly from it, and perhaps detest and persecute it? |
| A26951 | Do they believe, that except a man be converted and new born, he shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven? |
| A26951 | Do they know who seeth them in their sin? |
| A26951 | Do they take Christ for their Saviour, and yet would not be saved by him from their sins, but had rather keep them? |
| A26951 | Do they take Heaven for their endless home and happiness? |
| A26951 | Do they take the Holy Ghost for their Sanctifier, while they will not have a sanctified heart or life, and love it not in those that have it? |
| A26951 | Do we not say, that such a Divine Revelation is as sure as if the things were in themselves laid open to our sight? |
| A26951 | Do we not shamefully forget our ignorance, and our distance? |
| A26951 | Do you approve of the state of those in Heaven? |
| A26951 | Do you believe that God hath promised that all true Believers shall be saved? |
| A26951 | Do you believe that if you are or shall be a true Believer, you shall be saved? |
| A26951 | Do you call it the fruit of Gods Wisdom and Love, and yet be as weary of it, as if there were nothing in it but his wrath? |
| A26951 | Do you carry within you the evidence of things unseen, and the substance of the things which you say you hope for? |
| A26951 | Do you fear it, and not believe that there is any such thing? |
| A26951 | Do you fetch your Joyes from Heaven or Earth? |
| A26951 | Do you impatiently long to be delivered from your gain? |
| A26951 | Do you like holiness, when it is for from you? |
| A26951 | Do you live the life of Faith, or not? |
| A26951 | Do you live upon things that are unseen, or upon the present visible baits of sensuality? |
| A26951 | Do you look to be saved for doing as a Swine will do, in leaving that which he can neither eat, nor carry away with him? |
| A26951 | Do you not know that they are men, that have seen the Lord, whom they daily serve? |
| A26951 | Do you not perceive that a merry prosperous state inclineth to folly, levity, rashness, inconsiderateness, stupidity, forgetting the latter end,& c? |
| A26951 | Do you study to do all the good you can, and to make men happy by your Government? |
| A26951 | Do you then repent of it, or not? |
| A26951 | Do you think when the Israelites passed through the Red Sea, that the Leaders had not the greatest tryal? |
| A26951 | Do you wonder why he liveth not in peace, and concord, and quietness with others, who hath no better agreement in himself? |
| A26951 | Doth all the frame of nature continue in its course( the air, the waters, the summer and winter) for you as well as for others, or not? |

| A26951 | Is it not your duty therefore to learn it when you are at age, rather than not at all? |
| A26951 | Is it striving what Pastors shall be greatest, or have precedency, or be called gracious Lords or Benefactors? |

| A26951 | Or that there is no Heaven? |
| A26951 | Or that which no man ever sinned for, nor forsook God for, or was undone for? |

| A26951 | R ● member what a mad and sad condition you were in while you lived according to the flesh, and how plainly you saw it when your eyes were opened? |
| A26951 | Read over this question once and again, and mark what answer your hearts give to it, if you would know whether you live by sense or faith? |
| A26951 | Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? |
| A26951 | Shall I ever again resist or disobey the word and wisdom of him, who made and ruleth such a world? |
| A26951 | Shall I ever again wilfully or carelesly sin against a God of so great Majesty? |
| A26951 | Shall I ever distrust the power of him that made such a world? |
| A26951 | Shall I fear a worm, a mortal man, above this great and terrible Creator? |
| A26951 | Shall a wicked worldling venture into endless pains, and put himself out of the hopes of Heaven, and all this for a short and foolish pleasure? |
| A26951 | Shall no man be restrained from felony or murders, but he that seeth the Assizes or the Gallows? |

| A26951 | That I believe, is no where in the Scripture: If it be, doth the Scripture say, that all men believe, or only some? |

| A26951 | Then where are your pleasant habitations and contents? |
| A26951 | Therefore if an erring person ask, What am I bound to? |
| A26951 | They would not cry out, what needeth all this praying? |
| A26951 | This caused Christ to say, How hard it is for the Rich to be saved? |
| A26951 | This is all true; but who is there in the world that doth it, or findeth it possible to love another as himself? |
| A26951 | Thou fool, this night shall thy soul be required of thee: then whose shall these things be that thou hast provided?] |

| A26951 | To discover this, will you ask your selves these Questions following? |
| A26951 | To say nothing of our own language, what changes are made in all other tongues, since the times that the Gospel was recorded? |
| A26951 | True: but mark that their works follow them: And what are the works which follow you? |

| A26951 | Were it but an Angel that did thus appear to you, what manner of hearers would you be? |
| A26951 | Were our Congregations composed of such persons, what manner of worship would they perform to God? |

| A26951 | and which we have need of our selves as well as others? |
| A26951 | and why complain you? |
| A26951 | and why would you keep holy- daies in remembrance of them? |
| A26951 | and will you be indeed what you say you are, and would be thought to be? |
| A26951 | and ye fools, when will ye be wise? |
| A26951 | and yet dare they be unholy? |

| A26951 | how serious? |
| A26951 | how shall I wish that I had used my time, my wealth, my power, when time is at an end, and all these transitory things are vanished? |
| A26951 | how strange are many Christians to the extent of this duty, and how far are we all from practising it in any eminent degree? |
| A26951 | how unprofitable are our lives, in comparison of what one hours sight of Heaven and Hell would make them be? |

| A26951 | or by any thing which many others do partake of? |
| A26951 | or count it more ado than needs? |
| A26951 | or doth it not? |
| A26951 | or grace, and not desire glory? |
| A26951 | or had you the same promises? |
| A26951 | or if we breath as hard after Christ in holy desires, as you do in blowing the bubble of vain- glory? |
| A26951 | or is it against your wills? |
| A26951 | or rather do you not by your idleness forfeit life, and all these helps and maintainers of your lives? |
| A26951 | or that a disordered body is sick, and hath no great pleasure in life? |
| A26951 | or that a disordered or maimed watch or clock, doth not go right? |
| A26951 | or the life of sense on things that you behold? |
| A26951 | or the unchristian folly of those that will obey you? |
| A26951 | or to God and Godliness? |
| A26951 | or to leap into Hell, when we see it as before us? |
| A26951 | or what will your eager desires, and your cares do, more than the labours and quiet forecast of one that hath a contented patient mind? |
| A26951 | or, will you find them better work? |
| A26951 | or, will you pay them better wages? |
| A26951 | shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? |
| A26951 | shall we deifie creatures, and say to a stock, Thou art my Father? |
| A26951 | so torn in pieces by its zealous ignorant self- conceited Pastors and Members? |
| A26951 | so worryed by its open and secret enemies; even by the usurping tyrannizing Wolves in Sheeps cloathing, who spare not the flock? |
| A26951 | than[ what is most pleasant to my flesh? |
| A26951 | that Heaven is Heaven, and yet prefer the world before it? |
| A26951 | that Hell is Hell, and yet will venture upon it for a lust, or a thing of nought? |
| A26951 | that the Holy Ghost was not yet given, because Christ was not yet glorified? |
| A26951 | the believer takes it as the question of a fool, that should ask[ what harm is it to take a dram of Mercury or Arsenick?] |

| A26951 | things future or present? |
| A26951 | things hoped for, or things possessed? |
| A26951 | what ardent love? |
| A26951 | what confidence of faith? |
| A26951 | what constant patience should one serious thought of God, possess the believing holy soul with? |
| A26951 | what earnestness of desire? |
| A26951 | what envy and wrath, what malice and persecution, what opposition and discouragements on every side we must expect? |
| A26951 | what hatred of sin? |
| A26951 | what if they be able to command mens lives, and to hurt those that they hate for a little while? |
| A26951 | what is it but to put a scorn on your Creator and Redeemer, to live as if he had created and redeemed you for no better and nobler ends than these? |
| A26951 | what is it that Court and Country, City, and all Societies ring of, but vanity and vexation, sin and sorrow? |
| A26951 | what is the employment of most of the world? |
| A26951 | what lives would you have led, after such sights, as all or any one of these? |
| A26951 | what lives would you have led, if you had been eye- witnesses of all these things? |
| A26951 | what manner of people would you have been? |
| A26951 | what name can express the inhumane cruelty of such a wish o ● motion? |

| A26951 | what thief so mad as to steal at the Gallows, or before the Judge? |
| A26951 | what transporting joy? |
| A26951 | what work they have made as in the dark, when the case is so very plain and easie? |
| A26951 | what, is all this for no higher an end? |
| A26951 | when faith makes unseen things to be as seen? |
| A26951 | when he told you of dying, and I told you that you should not die? |
| A26951 | when shall I see one glimpse of hope? |
| A26951 | whence is it that this cometh? |
| A26951 | where is thy sting? |
| A26951 | where is thy victory? |
| A26951 | whether as a part, or end, or fruit, or consequent? |
| A26951 | whether in the Scripture, or in our hearts? |
| A26951 | whether it be, If God will? |
| A26951 | which way will be most comfortable to me in my last review? |

| A26951 | who believeth not that there is a God? |
| A26951 | who can be more unfit for Heaven, than he that loveth a life of labour, and want, and misery better? |
| A26951 | why doth it not do what sight would do, in some good measure, if it were but a lively saving faith indeed that serveth instead of sense? |
| A26951 | why then doth not your belief affect you, or command you more? |
| A26951 | will you hearken now as long to your consciences, as you have done to me? |
| A26951 | will you live upon things seen or unseen? |
| A26951 | will you make Infidels of all that are not Saints? |
| A26951 | would it leave you as you are? |
| A26951 | would you be drunk, or filthy, if you saw him stand by you? |
| A26951 | would you ever again reproach it as preciseness? |

| A27004 | ( But how shall we know that they said truth?) |
| A27004 | ( It is the best that is done in this lower world) Would any enemy of God so much honour him, and promote his interest, and restore him his own? |

| A27004 | 2. l. 1. c. 6. sintne coelum& sydera habitabilia? |
| A27004 | 23.29, 30, 31. why do you honour the dead Saints, and abhorre the living? |
| A27004 | 53. Who hath believed our report ▪ and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? |
| A27004 | A Harlot bought the other, and taught her the trade of wickednesse: And who, saith he, can give the reason of this event? |
| A27004 | A Swine hath a nature as suitable to these as you? |
| A27004 | A Virgin shall conceive and bear a Son,& c. And why should the fulfilling of a Prophesie by miracle be incredible? |
| A27004 | A sinner in this case hath nothing but blasphemy to say against the Justice of his Maker: for what can he say? |
| A27004 | An dubium est quin virtus ita maximam partem obtineat in rebus humanis, ut reliquas obruat? |
| A27004 | An hoc usquequaque aliter in vita? |

| A27004 | And I would know whether they can prove against Gassendus, that Impetus& Nisus vel conatus is ipse motus? |
| A27004 | And all because self- love and guilt doth make sinners unwilling to believe the truth? |
| A27004 | And are not Miracles according to our own necessities and desires? |
| A27004 | And are you sure that no matter is indivisible? |
| A27004 | And by what proof do you distinguish matter into those three degrees, or sorts, any more than into two, or four, or six, or ten, or ten hundred? |
| A27004 | And can any then be a more suitable object of our love? |
| A27004 | And can the minde of man on Earth, have higher and greater delights than these? |
| A27004 | And can you doubt whether God be most worthy of your love? |
| A27004 | And can you think that things so little satisfying, and so quickly perishing, are more suitable objects for your love than God? |
| A27004 | And do you know what you oblige your selves to, when you undertake to solve all phaenomena by matter and motion only? |
| A27004 | And do you not find that your Wills have a suitableness to good as such in the general? |
| A27004 | And doth he not know and regard what is continually as in his hand, or by continual volition produced or maintained by him? |
| A27004 | And he addeth that[ Forma substantialis non per se est substantia: substantia enim per se sul sistit,& c. — Quid ergo erit substantialis forma? |

| A27004 | And how dark were they about the life to come? |
| A27004 | And how know we what other Creatures God hath, to whom these punished sinners may be a warning? |
| A27004 | And how know you that former motion proceedeth not from such Natures, or Principles, when you confess that later motions do so? |
| A27004 | And how little know we how incomparably more excellent the nature of Angels may be than ours? |
| A27004 | And how prove you, that the Souls of Bruits exist not, after death? |
| A27004 | And how then cometh there so much enmity between them, and so great disparity? |
| A27004 | And how would you have such testimonies better confirmed, than by multiplyed miracles, delivered in a way which can not possibly deceive? |
| A27004 | And if Confidence in Christ be yet deceit, must I not say that thou hast deceived me? |
| A27004 | And if all this were so, who made the things inanimate, that have no souls of their own to make them? |
| A27004 | And if it must be conditional, who but God can tell what must be the condition? |
| A27004 | And if it were false, would they not hate such deceivers, and make them a common scorn, instead of being converted by them? |
| A27004 | And if my Soul did thus fabricate my Body, then what needed it pre- existent Matter to make it of? |
| A27004 | And if my Soul did thus independently make my Body, did all other Souls do so by their Bodies, or not? |
| A27004 | And if no better a solution be given us of the nature of Light and Heat, what shall we expect from them about Intellection and Volition? |
| A27004 | And if you believe it not, what will you do with Reason, or any of your faculties, or your time? |
| A27004 | And if you can believe an Individuation of Greater Souls, why not of Lesser? |
| A27004 | And is all this the effect of perfect Goodness? |
| A27004 | And is he to be blamed for telling them the truth? |
| A27004 | And is his motion rectus vel circularis? |
| A27004 | And is it not certain that Christ doth truly perform this undertaking? |
| A27004 | And is not Godliness a pleasure in it self? |
| A27004 | And is that a dream or a delusion, which causeth a man to live as a man? |
| A27004 | And might he not inflict that on men which they deserve? |
| A27004 | And must this messenger live in every age, and go into every Land, to do these Miracles in the presence of every living Soul? |
| A27004 | And seeing that experience forced him to confess it of Cats and Owls, how could he think that all other eyes or sight were quite of another kinde? |
| A27004 | And shall Man be worse than Beasts? |
| A27004 | And shall no Chronicles, no Records, no certain History be believed, as long as there are any foolish superstitious Lyars left upon the Earth? |
| A27004 | And shall that be a hinderance to your belief, which is your last remedy against unbelief? |
| A27004 | And shall the same man say, when execution cometh, it is too great? |
| A27004 | And shall we deny or question a proved truth, because the reason of the circumstances is unrevealed to us? |
| A27004 | And shall we make it necessary for our selves, and then quarrel with him for making it necessary in his Covenant? |
| A27004 | And so almost of all other Birds and Beasts? |
| A27004 | And that no spiritual incorporeal substance is quantitative, extended, or divisible? |
| A27004 | And that such wonderfull successive trains of impediments are set in the way of almost any man that intendeth any great good work in the World? |
| A27004 | And then how came they also to do miracles? |
| A27004 | And then, which think you will have the greater party, and what a case would mankind be in? |
| A27004 | And these difficulties will concern you nevertheless, whether you are Christians or not? |
| A27004 | And to the Question, What use would there be then of Judicatures? |
| A27004 | And to what Authors will they send us for the proof of this assertion? |
| A27004 | And what Spirit of sanctification doth accompany any of their peculiar doctrines? |
| A27004 | And what a world must it be, when Lust is the Law to all the Governours? |
| A27004 | And what is it in the Tree which is still the same? |
| A27004 | And what is the Pondus which Gassendus doth adde to magnitude and figure as a third pre- requisite in Atomes? |
| A27004 | And what is the end of all that I have said? |
| A27004 | And what justice would be done upon any Rebels or Robbers that are but strong enough to bear it out? |
| A27004 | And what mortal man is able to say, whether the distinction of Persons be either greater or less than this? |
| A27004 | And what should we think of the Atheist that denyeth it? |
| A27004 | And what the nearer is any man by this, for the discerning of any of their wild hypotheses? |
| A27004 | And what think you is to be done to bring any man to heaven, but to pardon him, and make him holy? |
| A27004 | And when one kickt him, and the people marvelled at his patience, he said, What if an Ass had kickt me, should I have sued him at Law? |
| A27004 | And when the Rock descendeth, doth it carry down none of the ascendants with it? |
| A27004 | And when they have attempted it, they have been like a man that is wrestling with a Spirit? |
| A27004 | And where will you find this done but in Jesus Christ alone? |
| A27004 | And whether is Reason or Appetite, think you, naturally made to be the predominant faculty? |
| A27004 | And whether the witnesses of his Resurrection were sufficient? |
| A27004 | And who is the wiser Philosopher? |
| A27004 | And who then should have that happiness, but the holy and renewed souls? |
| A27004 | And why did it not make it sooner, seeing it hath such an inclination to it? |
| A27004 | And why do not the same( partial) atomes, bear down a Feather, or the Birds that fly quietly in the air? |
| A27004 | And why do you against your own inclinations, make every action to be done by God alone? |
| A27004 | And why doth it not amend the infirmities of this Body? |
| A27004 | And why feel we not the power of their motion upon us? |
| A27004 | And why was he before revealed to so few? |
| A27004 | And will Lying bring a man to Heaven? |
| A27004 | And will mens averseness to the love of God then disprove it? |
| A27004 | And will you make a few condemned malefactors the measure of it? |
| A27004 | And will you reduce all their unknown perfections, or their known intelligence to matter and motion only? |
| A27004 | And will you say then, For ought I know it may be so, Ergo, Christianity is incredible? |
| A27004 | And would so many men run themselves into all this for nothing, to save the labour of an easie enquiry, after some matters of publick fact? |
| A27004 | And yet on the other side, Do not the sins of them that love God, deserve death and misery, according to his Law? |
| A27004 | And yet the Mercy would be but the same? |
| A27004 | And yet they are denyed and derided by the Protestants? |
| A27004 | Are any of these becoming God? |
| A27004 | Are not the Devils now set out in Scripture for a warning to Man? |
| A27004 | Are not the Legends written with as great confidence as the Scriptures? |
| A27004 | Are these the Objections of unbelief? |
| A27004 | Are they not more terrible than comfortable to your most retired sober thoughts? |
| A27004 | Are those atomes that carry down the Rock, more powerfull than an hundred thousand men, who could not lift it up at all; much less so swiftly? |
| A27004 | Are you certain that no true matter is penetrable? |
| A27004 | Arist ● ppus rogatus alicuando, quid haberent e ● imium Philosopi? |
| A27004 | Aristippus being asked, Quid esset admirandum in vita? |
| A27004 | Art thou not in Covenant with me, as my Sanctifier, and Confirmer, and Comforter? |
| A27004 | At nunquid dicemus illius temporis homines usque adeo fuisse vanos, mendaces, stol ● dos, brutos, ut quae nunquam viderant, vidisse se fingerent? |
| A27004 | Atqui si natura confirmatum jus non erit, virtutes omnes tollantur: ubi enim liberalitas? |
| A27004 | Audetis ridere nos cum Gehennas dicimus& inextinguibiles ignes, in quos animas dejici ab eorum hostibus cognovimus? |
| A27004 | Audetis ridere nos quod animarum nostrarum provideamus saluti? |
| A27004 | Audetis ridere nos — Quid Plato vester nonne animo surgere suadet e terris,& circa Deum semper( quantum fieri potest) cogitatione ac mente versari? |
| A27004 | Because I can not know how a spirit by contact can apply it self to matter, shall I dream that therefore it is uncapable of moving bodies? |
| A27004 | Behold the children of Israel have not hearkned to me, how then shall Pharaoh hear me? |
| A27004 | But I would know whether we have any atomes smaller than the body of Light, which thus penetrateth the Glass and Chrystal? |
| A27004 | But do you not ordinarily say, that Vice bringeth its punishment with it in its natural effects? |
| A27004 | But doth it follow therefore that it can not be proved? |
| A27004 | But doth not the light of Nature, and the concurrent sense and practice of all the World confute you? |
| A27004 | But for Error and Deceit, Idolatry and Superstition, how industriously are they propagated? |
| A27004 | But for the doctrin of Obedience in general, who hath ever taught it more plainly and pressingly, than Christ and his Apostles? |
| A27004 | But how can one man know another''s heart to be sincere? |
| A27004 | But how much of this is spoken in the dark? |
| A27004 | But how shall I know that there is indeed such holiness in Christians as you mention, and that it is not dissembled and counterfeit? |
| A27004 | But if they do not Apostatize, what a shame will it be to the Church of God, to have our Religion thus betrayed, by such as are not able to defend it? |
| A27004 | But in all this you argue against experience: Hath there not been Government and order kept up among Heathens? |
| A27004 | But is it natural to you to have lust and appetite, and is it not natural to you to have Reason to moderate and rule them? |
| A27004 | But is there no different tendency to motion in the parts of matter? |
| A27004 | But it is incredible that the World should perish for one mans sin, whom they never knew, nor could prevent? |
| A27004 | But may not all this which you call Regeneration, and the Image of God, be the meer power of fantasie, and affectation? |
| A27004 | But none of these, nor any such, are in our present case: There are Lyars in the world; but shall none therefore be believed? |
| A27004 | But qualis est illa contemperatio? |
| A27004 | But that which we expect from them is, to tell us, what motion it is that maketh the different Elements? |
| A27004 | But this is caused by the power of a deluded fantasie, which seeketh after that which is not to be had: What if you fall in Love with the Sun? |
| A27004 | But what are such Trinities in Vnity as these to the Trinity of Persons in the Deity? |
| A27004 | But what can be imagined by the wit of man more certain than sense? |
| A27004 | But what difficulty is there in these few precepts, that all men may not easily learn them? |
| A27004 | But what if there had been nothing in the intellect, but what passed through the sense? |
| A27004 | But what is Morality but the modality of Naturals? |
| A27004 | But what kin are these assertions of Philosophers to yours, of the Incarnation of the Eternal Word and Wisdom of God? |
| A27004 | But who is able to believe the Incarnation and Hypostatical Vnion? |
| A27004 | But who is able to discern it in the smaller and innumerable branches? |
| A27004 | But why should it captum omnem superare, that a nobler and more potent nature can do that, which a more ignoble can do? |
| A27004 | But why should they be thought incredible? |
| A27004 | But why should you run out on one side the way, because other men run out on the other? |
| A27004 | But why then have they no knowledge, no reason, no speech? |
| A27004 | But yet I will answer your question, Who can reconcile these things? |
| A27004 | But you seem here to forget that you had before made Godliness to be a Mans loss and undoing, if so be there were no life to come? |
| A27004 | Can God enable a man to that which he is not able to do himself, and can he give that which he hath not to give? |
| A27004 | Can a groundless conjecture allow any rational man such a Conclusion? |
| A27004 | Can an independent Mind be ignorant what it was, and what it did it self from all eternity, before it entred into this flesh? |
| A27004 | Can it be any worse then it is already? |
| A27004 | Can we learn of him, if we take him for a deceiver? |
| A27004 | Can you doubt whether all things which appear here to your sight, have an invisible Cause and Maker? |
| A27004 | Can you think that that man hath any Religion who hath no God? |
| A27004 | Centum decies centum annos demus deliciis? |
| A27004 | Certainly all of us feel from our childhood too much of the truth of this? |
| A27004 | Certainly, they did not cure all men that were sick: For then who would have dyed? |
| A27004 | Christiani nomen frustra sortitur, qui Christum minime imitatur: Quid enim tibi prodest vocari quod non es,& nomen usurpare alienum? |
| A27004 | Could it choose no better? |
| A27004 | Cum igitur haec ita sunt, quaenam injustitia tanta est, ut fatui vobis credulitate in ista videamur? |
| A27004 | Cum vos& similia credere,& in eadem videamus expectatione versari? |

| A27004 | Did Christ flatter the Pharisees? |
| A27004 | Did Commodus, Caracalla, Heliogabalus, think so? |
| A27004 | Did God care for none on earth, but a few Jews? |
| A27004 | Did King Philip think so, who put his own Son and Heir to death, by the Inquisition? |
| A27004 | Did Nero think so, that wished Rome had but one neck; that set the City on fire, that he might sing over it Homers Poem of the flames of Troy? |
| A27004 | Did Socrates die in his bed? |
| A27004 | Did you know what you did when you owned your Baptismal Vow and Covenant? |
| A27004 | Do not men call for signs and wonders, and say, If I saw one rise from the dead, or saw a Miracle, I would believe? |
| A27004 | Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment- seats? |
| A27004 | Do the people need to be saved from such stuff as this? |
| A27004 | Do we not know what we doe? |
| A27004 | Do you know how many thousand fixed Stars there are, besides Planets? |
| A27004 | Do you know the degrees of holiness and Glory which those superiour Inhabitants possess? |
| A27004 | Do you know what is meant by the resolution and grounds of faith? |
| A27004 | Do you know what number the holy and glorious Angels are, in comparison both of wicked men and Devils? |
| A27004 | Do you know whether sin and sorrow be not kept out there, and confined to this, and some few such obscurer receptacles? |
| A27004 | Do you know whether they are all Suns? |
| A27004 | Do you know whether they are all inhabited or not? |
| A27004 | Do you not see that fleshly interest ruleth them, and therefore they are what the Great ones would have them be, who can help or hurt them? |
| A27004 | Do you think that all your Learning is thereby obliterated? |
| A27004 | Do you think there is any thing existent in the World, besides matter and motion, or not? |
| A27004 | Do you understand what Government is? |
| A27004 | Doth any mans understanding perceive the true positive difference by these words? |
| A27004 | Doth he think to refuse Heaven, and yet to have it? |
| A27004 | Doth not Justice require punishment on them, that yet sin not away the Love of God, nor a state of Holiness? |
| A27004 | Doth not a man feel in himself a certain Power, to sudden and voluntary motion? |
| A27004 | Doth not natural reason tell you, that so good a God will shew his love to those that are good, that is, to those that love him? |
| A27004 | Doth not this objection as much militate against this? |
| A27004 | Doth the falshood of Historians make it uncertain whether ever there was a Pope at Rome, or a King in France, or an Inquisition in Spain,& c? |
| A27004 | Doubtless there is, as the case of Angels, Devils, and the Souls of men declare: Is this difference among any of them specifical and formal? |

| A27004 | I beseech you Sirs, as you regard the reputation of your Reason, tell us why you will professe a Religion, which you abhorre? |
| A27004 | I confess, that I took my Religion at first upon my Parents word: And who could expect that in my Childhood I should be able to prove its grounds? |
| A27004 | I have answered before, that so have all Creatures: Is it because it proveth the Soul material? |
| A27004 | I hope you will not put off all questions that are put to you, with these same two general words only? |

| A27004 | Is there nothing in a Habit but actual motion? |
| A27004 | Is there then any agreement in substance, or in another essential part, where there is a formal difference? |
| A27004 | Is this agreeable to infinite Goodness? |
| A27004 | Is this the Life which you live, or which you hate? |
| A27004 | It is not actual motion it self? |
| A27004 | It was none of the intent of the Spirit of Christ, in working Miracles, to make men immortal here on earth; and to keep them from Heaven? |
| A27004 | Judge then whether the use of reason be not to make man a more deluded and tormented creature than the bruits, if so be there were no life after this? |
| A27004 | Judge then your selves whether it be not likely that God hath innumerable more noble and excellent creatures, than we silly men are? |
| A27004 | Look into the Scripture, and see whether it do not disown and contradict every fault, both great and small, which ever you knew any Christian commit? |

| A27004 | Moreover, what think you is the nature of all our Habits? |
| A27004 | Must Christ be answerable for him? |
| A27004 | Must I believe that God''s enemies shall love him for ever, meerly because they are the greater number? |
| A27004 | Must we have so much adoe to reason debauched hypocrites and apostates, to that which nature taught so many, who yet did but in part improve it? |
| A27004 | Nam quid faciet is homo in teneoris, qui nihil timet nisi testem vel judicem? |
| A27004 | Nay quaere, whether it be more proper to say, that all between us and Heaven is a Vacuum or not? |
| A27004 | Nay, why doth not your objection militate as strongly against the thief''s believing, that there will be an Assize? |

| A27004 | Or at least what need is there of it, after so much already written? |
| A27004 | Or at least, I can not believe that Christ is the Son of God, unless he work Miracles? |
| A27004 | Or because they are harder to him than the things which our eyes are daily witnesses of? |
| A27004 | Or can you think while you are awake and sober, that Perfidiousness will save you, and be taken by God instead of Christianity? |
| A27004 | Or hath he indeed a God, who preferreth his lust, or wealth, or honour, or any thing in the World before him? |
| A27004 | Or rather should we not say, he were a blessed Deceiver, that had deceived us from our sin and misery, and brought back our straying souls to God? |

| A27004 | Or suppose your Lives are more civilly and smoothly carnall? |
| A27004 | Or that God should vouchsafe his further light and conduct to that Man, who willfully sinneth against him, in despight of all his former teachings? |
| A27004 | Or that he should discern the evidence of extraordinary Revelation, who opposeth with enmity the ordinary light or Law of Nature? |
| A27004 | Or that is not devoted to his Obedience and his Love? |
| A27004 | Or that is not greater than a mortal man? |
| A27004 | Or that such are meet for punishment, and unmeet for the love and holy fruition of God? |
| A27004 | Or that you are after as unapt for your arts and trades as if you had never learnt them? |

| A26858 | You know Epiphanius hath a peculiar Treatise to tell us, what then were the Customs and Ceremonies of the Universal Church? |
| A26858 | You may possibly believe that Solomon by[ Mother] meant an universally Governing College of Bishops] but when will you prove it? |
| A26858 | You say the Council at Frankford condemned that at Nice: How shall I know which the College owned at the time of the sitting of each Council? |
| A26858 | You say, such there must be? |
| A26858 | You tell us of Penalties made by Church Laws? |
| A26858 | You think they did ill, and will that justifie you? |

| A26858 | and by whose Memory? |

| A26858 | and foreign Divines, that I will not stay now to repeat that work: were all the Traditions forementioned since laid by, received from the Apostles? |

| A26858 | and might invade the Hospitals at their pleasure? |
| A26858 | and must all Christians be Judged at last by the Bishops Canon Law? |

| A26858 | was there ever such a meeting which was no Council? |
| A26858 | was this to unite the Protestants, and to strengthen them against the United Papists? |
| A26858 | we are for all this as well as you? |
| A26858 | we can not obey them till we know them; Are they all the Bishops in the World, or but part? |
| A26858 | what is his work as such a Principium? |

| A27053 | 6, 7, 8, 9. and then what would become both of us and you? |
| A27053 | Alas that at one and the same time, men should be extolling me, and Devils tormenting me? |
| A27053 | Alas thinks a poor Tradesman, or Plowman, or Servant, What do I but drudge in the world? |
| A27053 | Alas, how much further hath it proceeded now? |
| A27053 | Alas, thinks he, I am almost below a man and am I fit to make a God of? |
| A27053 | All that follow him, live with him: For whither should he lead them but to himself? |
| A27053 | Also if we live in dayes of persecution, how easily do we receive those Opinions that would keep us from prison and fire? |
| A27053 | Among the millions of desires that are in mens hearts, how few of them are kindled by the commands of God, or moved by his Interest and Glory? |
| A27053 | And I would ask you also, Whether you are content with the measure of sanctification which you have, or which is to be attained in this life? |
| A27053 | And alas what work doth selfishness make with inferior Magistrates? |
| A27053 | And are men that once made profession of Religion, become the enemies of such a Ministry? |
| A27053 | And call''d a precise fool or Puritane? |
| A27053 | And can not you make shift with an ordinary habitation and with small& common things till then? |
| A27053 | And can self endure to be thus used and arraigned for its life? |
| A27053 | And can the Lord that is most just and wise, Found all mans duty in deceit and lies? |
| A27053 | And can you expect that God should save those that deny him and would dethrone him? |
| A27053 | And can you read such an example of self- denial, given you by the Lord of glory, and not be transformed into the image of it? |
| A27053 | And did not he know what was for his good as well as you? |
| A27053 | And did they not use him worse than you are used? |
| A27053 | And did you think that gathering it was the way to make you willing to leave it? |
| A27053 | And do they indeed excell us in knowledge as much as they pretend? |
| A27053 | And do they worse than this by you? |
| A27053 | And do they worse than this by you? |
| A27053 | And do you not know that you are liker to over- love a sumptuous house, with gardens, orchards, and such accommodations, than a mean habitation? |
| A27053 | And do you think that among wise men fine clothes will go instead of wisdom, or vertue, or holiness? |
| A27053 | And doth not Reason bid thee then forecast, And value the least hope of endless joyes, Before known vanities and dying toyes? |
| A27053 | And doth not Reason tell us by the light of Nature, that God should be loved better than our Lives? |
| A27053 | And for the question, whether we may not take any meat or drink purposely to please the appetite? |
| A27053 | And for what I pray you, should we esteem you? |
| A27053 | And had not the world enough of your Pride while you were alive? |
| A27053 | And how comes it to pass that a man may quietly enough follow such vices, if he will but forbear the profession of Godliness? |
| A27053 | And how comes this difference? |
| A27053 | And how much should I be valued by the Papists, if I would turn to them? |
| A27053 | And how should good men be moved to compassionate you? |
| A27053 | And how stubbornly do they resist not only God, but Magistrates and Ministers that would draw them from it? |
| A27053 | And how unsutable will such Honor be to your condition? |
| A27053 | And if that part of Religion which seemeth hardest& harshest be so sweet, what is our Love and Delight in God, but the foretaste of Heaven it self? |
| A27053 | And if the desires of the flesh might be followed, who would not be such as they, in some measure? |
| A27053 | And if you would not have it thus with all, what reason have you to desire it for your self? |
| A27053 | And indeed what should draw a self- denying man to sin,( were he but perfect in self- denial?) |
| A27053 | And is any of this agreeable to our holy Rule and Pattern? |
| A27053 | And is it any wonder if Proud and selfish sinners are displeased with such a word as this? |
| A27053 | And is it any wonder if they be all ill- governed then, where the Devil doth so much to choose the Governors? |
| A27053 | And is it not better be walking Lights to illuminate the world, than Candles shut up within the walls of our own habitation? |
| A27053 | And is it not better suffer under these temrs of unconceivable advantage, than to suffer in a natural way for nothing? |
| A27053 | And is it not much like it for you to carry the badge of pride or lust abroad with you in the open streets and meetings? |
| A27053 | And is it suitable for such a spirit to be eager after the Reputation of sincerity, and to be much troubled that you are taken by others to be naught? |
| A27053 | And is not God ten thousand thousand times even infinitely more above you, than you are above your fellow- creatures? |
| A27053 | And is not that our best condition that makes us best? |
| A27053 | And is our time so ● … ort and precious, and yet is idleness an excusable sin? |
| A27053 | And is that lost that''s sent to Heav''n before? |
| A27053 | And is that sav''d that''s spent upon thy lust? |
| A27053 | And is there not the same Reason that he dispose of your life as of theirs? |
| A27053 | And it is but poor mortals that will magnifie your Names, and what can they add to you? |
| A27053 | And know you not that Christ that hath purposely come down into flesh that you might know him? |
| A27053 | And must such ignorant or jugling confusions serve turn, to cheat a Nation of their Religion and Liberties, and many thousands of their salvation? |
| A27053 | And must they therefore be let alone by man? |
| A27053 | And must we lose our labour? |
| A27053 | And our use of means for their removal? |
| A27053 | And seeing all your turnings and unwillingness can not avoid it, is it not better to submit to it willingly than unwillingly? |
| A27053 | And shall a party be the judge? |
| A27053 | And shall a thief be proud that he is pardoned and taken from the gallows? |
| A27053 | And shall self be thy Ruler? |
| A27053 | And shall self presume to dethrone the Lord, and sit down in his place? |
| A27053 | And shall we fear to go the way that Christ hath gone, and purposely gone to clear it for us? |
| A27053 | And should it be abased and abused to idleness and vanity? |
| A27053 | And should not you much more submit to God? |
| A27053 | And should the breaking of such an earthen Vessel be so unpleasing a thing to you? |
| A27053 | And should we be so loth to leave( whether naturally or violently) such a life as this? |
| A27053 | And should we grudge at this? |
| A27053 | And should you desire it? |
| A27053 | And that they hear him with heart- rising, enmity, or suspicion, that doth declaim against them? |
| A27053 | And therefore who should be brought lower than such? |
| A27053 | And though the power of grace in Job did shame the boasts of Satan, yet how frequently doth he prevail with men that seem Religious? |
| A27053 | And to what end desire you these thoughts of men? |
| A27053 | And under Laws for every bit and cup? |
| A27053 | And under pining sickness be content? |
| A27053 | And what a striving is there in their wills against him? |
| A27053 | And what a world would it be, if all men were Disposers of themselves, when there would be as many different ends and minds as men? |
| A27053 | And what are you in the mean time? |
| A27053 | And what doth worldly greatness add to your real worth in the eyes of God or of wise men? |
| A27053 | And what higher self- exaltation can there be, than to make ourselves as gods to our selves? |
| A27053 | And what hindreth? |
| A27053 | And what if God call you to sacrifice your lives to him, as he called Abraham to sacrifice his Son? |
| A27053 | And what if one Minister excel in one gift, and another in another, and few in all? |
| A27053 | And what is it but some selfish End that causeth any man to pervert Justice, or slander, or bear false witness against his neighbour? |
| A27053 | And what is it but the furnishing and providing for self that provoketh any man to Rob another? |
| A27053 | And what is it but the satisfaction of your Own ● ● ● thy lusts, that causeth Adultery and all uncleanness? |
| A27053 | And what is the Heart of most men more against? |
| A27053 | And what is the deformity that you would hide by this? |
| A27053 | And what is the reason of this strange partiality? |
| A27053 | And what of that? |
| A27053 | And what though this be unknown to the opposers? |
| A27053 | And what was the matter that deserved all this, yea and the death of almost all the Prophets and Apostles of Christ? |
| A27053 | And what''s the argument pleaded for all this? |
| A27053 | And what''s the reason of these accusations? |
| A27053 | And when one is flattering, and the other pleased with it, what a foolish and sordid employment have they? |
| A27053 | And when the hour comes, what can hinder? |
| A27053 | And when the soul of the worldly fool is required of him, then whose shall all their Dignities, and Honours, and Riches be? |
| A27053 | And when they are once possessed of it, how partially do they indulge it? |
| A27053 | And whence is it but for want of self- denial, that Peace- makers succeed no better in their attempts? |
| A27053 | And whereas men ask, What can the strongest do more than die for Christ? |
| A27053 | And who is it that can do this that God and their salvation may not do? |
| A27053 | And why are they not as zealous against sin as against the plague? |
| A27053 | And why is all this? |
| A27053 | And why is all this? |
| A27053 | And why is this? |
| A27053 | And why not as soon and as zealously when Ale- sellers reset mens sons and servants, and drown mens understandings and turn them into beasts? |
| A27053 | And why should the body be so dear to you? |
| A27053 | And why should we not be willing of that condition, in which we do our Master the best service, what ever the doing of it shall cost us? |
| A27053 | And why so? |
| A27053 | And why so? |
| A27053 | And why so? |
| A27053 | And why so? |
| A27053 | And why, but because it is espoused to them and their own? |
| A27053 | And will God put up all this? |
| A27053 | And will it also e ● se men in he ● l to think that some others suffer more? |
| A27053 | And will you do so in a case ten thousand fold greater? |
| A27053 | And wilt thou keep it? |
| A27053 | And wilt thou the consuming fire defie? |
| A27053 | And would not you have God make a difference between those that sin once, and those that live in it? |
| A27053 | And would you still live at these rates? |
| A27053 | And wouldst thou have thy riches in thy way, Where thou art passing on and canst not stay? |
| A27053 | And yet alas, how many are there that know not any better frame of will than this? |
| A27053 | And yet are you loth to have the victory,& see your enemy under feet? |
| A27053 | And yet have you leasure for idle talk? |
| A27053 | And yet this is our peoples sport: what say these wretches, may we not jest and be merry, when we mean no harm, without all this ado? |
| A27053 | And yet what is there that more pleaseth the minds of the most? |
| A27053 | And yet what negligence of Magistrates, and what contentiousness of Ministers, destroy all hopes? |
| A27053 | And yet will go against your experience? |
| A27053 | And yet will you follow it still, and take no warning, as if it had not done enough against you? |
| A27053 | Are they such odious things? |
| A27053 | Are you better than the Lord of life? |
| A27053 | Are you better than they? |
| A27053 | Are you content to live for ever with no more knowledge or love of God? |
| A27053 | Are you not daily constrained to groan and complain to God under the burden of too much Love of the world, and too much delight in worldly things? |
| A27053 | Are you travelling towards another world with a Play- book in your hand? |
| A27053 | Are you upon any imployment spiritual or secular? |
| A27053 | Art thou not sure to let go what thou hast? |
| A27053 | As if all the controversie were, whether we should force others to be of our Religion? |
| A27053 | As if my heart were made of flint or steel? |
| A27053 | Ask now any stander by that is impartial, whether God or the flesh should be denied? |
| A27053 | Ask your hearts,[ Can I keep these things for ever; or not? |
| A27053 | Beauty surpasseth all deceitful paints: What''s empty mirth to the delights of Saints? |
| A27053 | Besides, will not any honest man make a great difference of the same acts according as they come from different hearts? |
| A27053 | But alas how contrary is the case with the most? |
| A27053 | But are you willing also to go to hell for company? |
| A27053 | But do we not know that Papists have Italy and Spain and Germany and France at hand to help them? |
| A27053 | But do we not lawfully use his Mercies for our selves? |
| A27053 | But doth it follow that men must be no Teachers under him? |
| A27053 | But doth not your calling require diligence as well as ours? |
| A27053 | But how can I think it for my good to die? |
| A27053 | But how far is this Appetite to be denied? |
| A27053 | But how rare is it to meet with men that are meek and patient in their own cause, and passionate in a holy zeal for God? |
| A27053 | But how shall I know whether I seek preferment for God or my self? |
| A27053 | But how unreasonable is this? |
| A27053 | But if it be not as Ministers and Christi ● n ● that we are hated; what is it then? |
| A27053 | But if it be; will merciful Rulers set up a trade for butchering of souls? |
| A27053 | But if you will not have the Grapes to be gathered and prest, how can you expect to have the Wine? |
| A27053 | But is it not lawful at a feast to taste of another dish, or eat another bit, when I think that nature needs no more? |
| A27053 | But is it not lawful to seek for dignity and superiority? |
| A27053 | But is there no harm in needless flesh- pleasing, and in the loss of precious time, to men that are ready to step into eternity? |
| A27053 | But it is but your conceit that you are wise enough to be a Teacher, or wiser than others, and why may not I as well conceit it? |
| A27053 | But may not a Gentleman fare better than a poor man? |
| A27053 | But may not the Creatures be received for Delight as well as for Necessity? |
| A27053 | But must he not therefore teach or rule by men? |
| A27053 | But see what flesh and self can do? |
| A27053 | But then how comes it to pass that it is their Praying and Preciseness that is so much in the scorners mouths? |
| A27053 | But what ado shall we have with carnal, unsanctified wretches to perswade them to all or any of this? |
| A27053 | But what of that? |
| A27053 | But what will is it that is to be called a self- will? |
| A27053 | But when we would help their souls, what cavils, and quarrels, and unthankful obstinacy do we meet with? |
| A27053 | But where''s that mirth when sorrows overtake thee? |
| A27053 | But who knows but God may convert them? |
| A27053 | But why must you be let alone? |
| A27053 | But why was he not as angry with himself for a greater sin? |
| A27053 | But yet you are not wholly a stranger there; Is it not that God that you have loved, and that hath first loved you? |
| A27053 | Can any man be a loser by God? |
| A27053 | Can any thing be more Honourable than to be the children of the heavenly Father? |
| A27053 | Can not you do it better? |
| A27053 | Can you find in your heart to stand jesting& prating with a poor unregenerate man that is within a step of Hell? |
| A27053 | Can you have while to look so much after superfluities and delights in the world, when you have Necessaries yet to look after for your souls? |
| A27053 | Can you talk so idly and God stand by, and hear every word, and put down all? |
| A27053 | Come down into our Courts of Justice, and whose voice is loudest at the bar, but selfs? |
| A27053 | Come lower into the Country and who is it that plows and sows; who is it that keeeps House or Shop but self? |
| A27053 | Dare you run on in idle foolish prating when you remember that he heareth you? |
| A27053 | Did I ever sollicite you so much as for my Arrears( which is many hundred pounds?) |
| A27053 | Did you ever know such a one? |
| A27053 | Did you make your selves? |
| A27053 | Do I need to prove it to you? |
| A27053 | Do they put a Fools Coat on you, and a Reed in your hand, and make a laughing stock of you? |
| A27053 | Do they slander you? |
| A27053 | Do you deal with those you have so well, and overcome them so easily and so constantly, as that you have reason to desire more? |
| A27053 | Do you desire to be happy, or do you not? |
| A27053 | Do you fight against it as for the life of your souls,& yet are you afraid lest death should hurt it or break it down? |
| A27053 | Do you not feel a continual burden of infirmities? |
| A27053 | Do you not feel sin as a heavy burden pressing you down, and perceive how easily it entangleth and besetteth you? |
| A27053 | Do you not know that this desire is Pride it self? |
| A27053 | Do you not know your selves? |
| A27053 | Do you not see that where self is but deeply engaged, the judgement is bribed or overmastered, and carried from the Truth? |
| A27053 | Do you really find that they conduce to your main end, even to make you more holy, or more serviceable to God? |
| A27053 | Do you remember Gods presence, and withall his holiness and jealousie? |
| A27053 | Do you see any thing that your Appetite desireth, whether meats or drinks, whether for quality or quantity? |
| A27053 | Do you set more by Christ and Holiness, which are the way to God? |
| A27053 | Do you think I wrong them or speak without proof? |
| A27053 | Do you think of your Dignities and Offices as places of meer superiority and honour and accommodation to your carnal selves? |

| A26932 | 9. and yet dare you neglect them? |
| A26932 | A Diocesan Bishop is the Ruler of all the Pastors and Churches in a Diocess: Is such a Pastor one of these? |
| A26932 | A Pope is the pretended head of the Catholike Church, and an universal Bishop to govern it; Are single ruling Pastors such? |
| A26932 | A good stomack will not say at a feast, what a slavery is it to bestow my time and pains so much to feed my self? |
| A26932 | Ait enim Christus: Quicquid liga veritis in terris,& c. Quid igitur agunt qui impediunt Ecclesiam ne sententiam Domini pronunciet? |
| A26932 | Alas Neighbour, what if you had dyed before this hour in an unconverted state what had become of you? |
| A26932 | Alas what is it that we have to be proud of? |
| A26932 | All the Disputations and eager contests that we have had against unfaithful men, and for a faithful Ministry, will condemn us, if we be unfaithful? |
| A26932 | All this trouble then, and stir of the Nation, hath been to bring the work to your hands: and shall it dye there? |
| A26932 | And 1. what cause have we to bleed before the Lord this day, that have neglected so great and good a work so long? |
| A26932 | And I would that were all, or the worst: But alas how frequently doth it go with us to our studies, and there set with us and do our work? |
| A26932 | And O what a world of work have you to do? |
| A26932 | And O what hainous aggravations do accompany this sin? |
| A26932 | And a good Physitian look after every particular Patient? |
| A26932 | And a good Schoolmaster look to every individual Scholler, both for instruction and correction? |
| A26932 | And alas how weak are those of us that seem strongest? |
| A26932 | And are these works to be done with a careless mind, or a lazy hand? |
| A26932 | And are we not then in the matter agreed? |
| A26932 | And can it be expected that God should much bless the labours of such men as these? |
| A26932 | And can you think that any unsanctified man can be hearty and serious in the ministerial work? |
| A26932 | And do you think God doth not require you to do all the good you can? |
| A26932 | And do you think it safe to live and dye in such a known sin? |
| A26932 | And doth any man live more to himself then the proud? |
| A26932 | And doth it not then concern us to take heed? |
| A26932 | And doth not common honesty bind you to be true to your trust? |
| A26932 | And doth not this Objection of yours plainly give up your cause to the Separatists? |
| A26932 | And especially how commonly are those duties neglected, that are like if performed to diminish our estates? |
| A26932 | And for the second, How common is it with Ministers to drown themselves in worldly business? |
| A26932 | And good Commanders look after every individual souldier? |
| A26932 | And have not such sinners as we, need to do so? |
| A26932 | And how can you talk against unfaithful Ministers, while you are so unfaithful your selves? |
| A26932 | And how much vanity and evil it will prevent? |
| A26932 | And how sadly do many Ministers come off in this part of their tryal? |
| A26932 | And how should we be humbled without a plain Confession of our sin? |
| A26932 | And if I ask further Can you be saved without the death of that? |
| A26932 | And if it be Sacrament Controversies which he raiseth, tell him it is necessary, that you be first agreed, what Baptism is? |
| A26932 | And if it had no enemy but what is in themselves, how easily will a frozen carnal heart, extinguish those sparks which you have been long in kindling? |
| A26932 | And if this may not be done, What do we here to day? |
| A26932 | And if we fail through weakness, how will they insult? |
| A26932 | And if you pity them, will you not do this much for their salvation? |
| A26932 | And is it not then our wisest course to see that God be our friend, and to do that which tendeth most to engage him in our defence? |
| A26932 | And is there nothing in all this to awaken us to our duty, and to resolve us to speedy and unwearied diligence? |
| A26932 | And no duty which you be not willing to perform? |
| A26932 | And see what a help these poor impenitent sinners have for their cure? |
| A26932 | And seeing the case of weakliness is comparatively so sad, how diligent should we be to cherish and encrease their grace? |
| A26932 | And shall any of his Messengers question the Authority of his commands? |
| A26932 | And shall we do that which we scarce ever see the most hardened sinner do? |
| A26932 | And should all Ministers refuse preaching if the Magistrate bid them not? |
| A26932 | And that they must be taught it in the most edifying advantagious way, I hope we are agreed? |
| A26932 | And then, we shal have the opportunity by personal conference to try them how far they understand it, and how far not? |
| A26932 | And these men count it a slavery to labour hard in his vineyard, and deny their ease, in a time when they have all accomodations and Encouragements? |
| A26932 | And time will shew you, whether God will suffer them to prevail with the Governors of this sinful land to betray the Gospel into their hands, or not? |
| A26932 | And what Evidence is the Church capable of, but their Profession of Repentance first, and their actual reformation afterwards? |
| A26932 | And what are the hindrances now that keep the Ministers of England from the Execution of that Discipline which they have so much contended for? |
| A26932 | And what do you think it was, that I delivered you for? |
| A26932 | And what doth every sin deserve? |
| A26932 | And what hindereth but you may joyn together if you will? |
| A26932 | And what is it that hath brought people to this ignorance of their duty, but custom? |
| A26932 | And what is the cause of all this misery? |
| A26932 | And what is your own Hope, or Joy, or Crown of rejoycing? |
| A26932 | And what was all this for? |
| A26932 | And what would you have more? |
| A26932 | And when I ask them whether their deeds can Merit any thing of God? |
| A26932 | And when a work is like to prove difficult and costly, how backward are we to it, and make excuses and will not come on? |
| A26932 | And who knows not how many of these men are yet alive? |
| A26932 | And who would not have been afraid to contradict the Gospel, that had seen ● l ● mas smitten blind? |
| A26932 | And why might we not have done it sooner as well as now? |
| A26932 | And will he be true to Christ that is in Covenant with his enemy, and Christ hath not his heart? |
| A26932 | And will he do any great harm to the Kingdom of the Devil, that is himself a member and subject of that Kingdom? |
| A26932 | And will the sin of one excuse the other? |
| A26932 | And will you be Proud of that which the Devils do excell you in? |
| A26932 | And will you betray it, or neglect it after all this? |
| A26932 | And yet so it is, and so it hath too plainly proved: and whence is all this strange deceit of heart? |
| A26932 | Annon reus esset laesae Majestatis Caesareae, siquis ejus judicem ne sententiam Caesaris pronunciet impediat? |
| A26932 | Are all mens hearts so deceitful? |
| A26932 | Are all the penalties against Swearers, Cursers, Drunkards, Peace- breakers, Sabboth- breakers,& c. nothing? |
| A26932 | Are any of them loving to their party, and contemners of the world? |
| A26932 | Are not both agreed, that Professors of true faith and holiness, cohabiting and consenting, are a true Church? |
| A26932 | Are not such and such as learned as you? |
| A26932 | Are not their sufferings our warnings? |
| A26932 | Are not these reasons as valid against Christianity it self in some times and places, as now against Discipline? |
| A26932 | Are the Keyes of Christs Kingdom so unmeet and useless, that they will not open and shut without the help of the sword? |
| A26932 | Are the souls of men thought meet by God to see his face, and live for ever in his glory, and are they not worthy of your utmost cost and labour? |
| A26932 | Are there so many Traytors in our very hearts, and is it not time for us to take heed? |
| A26932 | Are we not men, frail and corruptible flesh, unworthy sinners like themselves? |
| A26932 | Are you Angels, or men? |
| A26932 | Are you not of the same Generation of sinners, that need his grace as much as they? |
| A26932 | Are you wiser then all the Ministers in the Countrey? |
| A26932 | Art thou in earrest or in jest? |
| A26932 | As E. G. What is God? |
| A26932 | As if they had even wrestled for salvation it self? |
| A26932 | As though Paul might not go preaching the Gospel in Ephesus? |
| A26932 | As, E. G.[ What do you think becomes of men when they are dead? |
| A26932 | At the utmost sure you would allow him none but of necessity? |
| A26932 | BUT what likelyhood is there that men will be informed or converted by this means, that will not by the preaching of the word? |
| A26932 | Be they three offices, or but one: and be they all?] |
| A26932 | Brethren can you look believingly on your miserable neighbours, and not perceive them calling for your help? |
| A26932 | Brethren, in the fear of God consider, Why is it that God hath done all this? |
| A26932 | Brethren, may I take leave a little to expostulate this case with my own heart and you, that we may see the shame of our sin and be reformed? |
| A26932 | Burnt and wasted we must be, and is it not fitter it should be in lighting men to heaven, and in working for God, then in living to the flesh? |
| A26932 | But alas, for the most part, even of those that we take for Godly Ministers, how reservedly and how negligently do we go through our work? |
| A26932 | But dare we preferr our carnal ease, and quietness, and the love or peace of wicked men, before our service to Christ our Master? |
| A26932 | But dare you say so by the souls of men even by the Church of God? |
| A26932 | But especially, What an excellent life is it to live in the studies and preaching of Christ? |
| A26932 | But further, What is it that you would have the Magistrate to do? |
| A26932 | But if Discipline( in its place) be necessary too, what is it but enmity to mens salvation to exclude it? |
| A26932 | But if they are taken for members, how can we satisfie our consciences to forbear all execution of Discipline upon them? |
| A26932 | But if they be as unwilling as ignorant, how much more difficult is it? |
| A26932 | But if you could not suffer for Christ, why did you put your hand to his plough? |
| A26932 | But is not Government of great concernment to the good of souls, as well as Preaching? |
| A26932 | But is not the meaning, that you will not bear the trouble and hatred which it will occasion? |
| A26932 | But is this much done? |
| A26932 | But to have such a multitude of these, as most of us have, what work will it find us? |
| A26932 | But to what purpose is all this, when most of the people will not submit? |
| A26932 | But what if the Magistrate will not help us? |
| A26932 | But what need we add more, when experience speaks so loud? |
| A26932 | But what obligation lyeth on us to tye our selves to certain daies for the performance of this work? |
| A26932 | But what remedy? |
| A26932 | But what should a Minister do that findeth he hath quite lost his interest in them? |
| A26932 | But what singular thing do you with your estates for your Masters use? |
| A26932 | But what''s the matter that wise and godly Rulers should be thus guilty of our misery, and that none of our cries will awake them to compassion? |
| A26932 | But where is there any such promise to the ungodly, that are not the children of the promise? |
| A26932 | But why may not occasional Conference and Instructions serve the turn? |
| A26932 | But will it never be a fit season? |
| A26932 | But will you deny to Bishops the power of making Canons? |
| A26932 | But you may say, This is not confessing sin, but applauding those whose sins you pretend to confess? |
| A26932 | By favouring their sin you will shew your enmity to God,& then how can you love your brother? |
| A26932 | Can he dye? |
| A26932 | Can sloathful servants look for a good reward? |
| A26932 | Can so much work, and such work as this be done by raw unqualified men? |
| A26932 | Can we once conceive of him as purposely washing and wiping his servants feet, and yet be stout and Lordly still? |
| A26932 | Can we think that a man can be too careful and painful under all these motives and engagements? |
| A26932 | Can you hear them cry to you, as the man of Macedonia to Paul in his vision, come and help us? |
| A26932 | Can you possibly make your selves believe that you shall have a comfortable review of these neglects, or make a comfortable account of them unto God? |
| A26932 | Can you see them as the wounded man by the way, and unmercifully pass by? |
| A26932 | Can you think that holy wisdom will gain- say it? |
| A26932 | Can you think to be saved then by your Clergy? |
| A26932 | Caveane ludi publici, au atrium Dei? |
| A26932 | Convince them what a contradiction it is to be a Christian, and yet to refuse to learn; For what is a Christian but a Disciple of Christ? |
| A26932 | Dare you like idle Gossips, chat and trifle away your time, when you have such works as these to do, and so many of them? |
| A26932 | Desire also to know of them, whether they have any truth of God to reveal to them, that you do not reveal? |
| A26932 | Did Paul cry out, who is sufficient for these things? |
| A26932 | Did it threaten eternal torment to the soul only, or to the body also? |
| A26932 | Did it threaten hell fire, or only temporal death? |
| A26932 | Did the first Covenant of Nature make any promise of everlasting celestial glory? |
| A26932 | Did we think when we were writing against this sect, and the sect that opposed Discipline, that we were writing all that against our selves? |
| A26932 | Did you ever find the spirit of God by the word, come in upon your understanding, with a new heavenly life, which hath made you a new creature? |
| A26932 | Did you not all this while know that you must shortly dye, and be judged as you were then found? |
| A26932 | Did you not know, that you had a soul to save or lose? |
| A26932 | Did you think as ill of sin as you spoke? |
| A26932 | Do any of them express a hatred of sin, and desire of Church Reformation? |
| A26932 | Do any of them use to spend their time when they meet together in holy discourse, and not in vain janglings? |
| A26932 | Do not grudge at this now and say, This is a hard saying, who can bear it? |
| A26932 | Do not many families in your Parish live on less? |
| A26932 | Do these men delight in Holiness, that account it a slavish work? |
| A26932 | Do you believe indeed that such Glory attends those that dye in the Lord, and such Torment attendeth those that dye unconverted? |
| A26932 | Do you believe that you have any sin? |
| A26932 | Do you know the Iudgement of God, that they that commit such things are worthy of death, and yet will you do them? |
| A26932 | Do you long to see it upon the souls of your hearers? |
| A26932 | Do you not know that it is your own benefit which you grudge at? |
| A26932 | Do you think Christ will suffer all men to be as cruel, unmerciful, fleshly and self- seeking as you? |
| A26932 | Do you think so basely of the Church of God, as if it deserved not the best of your care and help? |
| A26932 | Do you think that all that you can get in this world will comfort you at a dying hour, or purchase your salvation, or ease the pains of Hell- fire? |
| A26932 | Do you think that heaven is not worth your labour? |
| A26932 | Do you think that it is a likely thing, that he will fight against Satan with all his might, that is a servant to Satan himself? |
| A26932 | Dost thou believe what thou saist? |
| A26932 | Doth any forbid them, or threaten them if they do it? |
| A26932 | Doth he think that Gods truth is not worth his study? |
| A26932 | Doth it not make you tremble when you open the Bible, lest you should read there the Sentence of your own Condemnation? |
| A26932 | Doth not a careful Shepherd look after every individual Sheep? |
| A26932 | Doth not reason and conscience tell you, that if you dare venture on so high a work as this, you should spare no pains to be fitted to perform it? |
| A26932 | Doth not that threatning make us tremble? |
| A26932 | Doth not the nature and end of the duty plainly tell you that an appointed time conduceth to the orderly successful performance of it? |
| A26932 | Doth not this plainly bind us to the private as well as the publike part of our duty? |
| A26932 | Doth such a one as Paul say? |
| A26932 | Doth the secular Power forbid you to do it, or threaten or trouble you for not doing it? |
| A26932 | E. G. I have oft asked some very ignorant people, How do you think of your sins, so many and great sins shall be pardoned? |
| A26932 | E. G[ What is God? |
| A26932 | Ergo imperfecta est patrum castitas, si non item& filiorum accumuletur? |
| A26932 | Et qui intra ● t Ecclefiasticam domum, ut mala antiqua defleant, exeunt;& quid dico exeunt? |
| A26932 | Et quid hoc, proh nefas, mali est? |
| A26932 | Et templum omnes magis sectentur, au theatrum? |
| A26932 | Et virum uxoris sobrium, prudentem? |
| A26932 | For even now these wretched men, while they pretend themselves the servants of Christ, and are asking, What Authority we have for his work? |
| A26932 | For how can a wretched sinner of so great transgressions, presume to justifie himself with God? |
| A26932 | For how can an impenitent unreformed people expect to be sheltered by Holiness it self? |
| A26932 | For how can we take heed to them, if we do not know them? |
| A26932 | For instance; What hath been for more talked of, and prayed for, and contended about in England for many years past, then the business of Discipline? |
| A26932 | For then how great, and how manifold will our condemnation be? |
| A26932 | For what care I what Minister they hear or obey, so it be one that leadeth them in the waies of truth and holiness? |
| A26932 | For what else should we do? |
| A26932 | For what is true Holiness but a devotedness to God and a living to him? |
| A26932 | For what man will put himself upon such a toilsom life; or what Parents will choose such a burden for their children? |
| A26932 | For what speedyer way is there for the depraving and undoing of the people, then the pravity of their Guides? |
| A26932 | For will you perswade others to that which you will not do( as far as you can) your selves? |
| A26932 | HAving shewed you, What it is to Take heed to our selves, and Why it must be done? |
| A26932 | Hactenus Christus rexit Ecclesiam suam hac Disciplinâ;& ipsi Principes, imo& Ministri aliquot, nolunt eam sic regi? |
| A26932 | Had he any beginning? |
| A26932 | Had they rather men went to Hell, then be taught the way to Heaven by Presbyters that had not their Imposition of hands? |
| A26932 | Had you any greater work to do? |
| A26932 | Had you but one ignorant old man or woman to teach, though willing to learn, what a tedious task is it? |
| A26932 | Hath Christ bid you use the Keyes of the Kingdom, and avoid a scandalous sinner upon condition that the Magistrate will punish him with the sword? |
| A26932 | Hath Christ put a leaden sword into your hands, when he bids you smite the obstinate sinner? |
| A26932 | Hath God been hewing us out a way with his sword, and levelling opposers by his terrible Judgements, and yet will we sit still or play the sluggards? |
| A26932 | Hath God brought down these enemies of godliness, and persecutors and depopulaters of his Church, and would you make a league with them again? |
| A26932 | Hath any one suffered for our sins in our stead, or must we suffer for them our selves? |
| A26932 | Hath any thing in the world done more to lose our authority, and disable us for Gods service then our differences and divisions? |
| A26932 | Hath the Ministry suffered nothing in England, Scotland, and Ireland? |
| A26932 | Have I done and suffered so much for their salvation? |
| A26932 | Have not many able Ministers in the Prelates daies been glad of less, with liberty to preach the Gospel? |
| A26932 | Have not many of us cause to enquire once& again, Whether sincerity will consist with such a measure of Pride? |
| A26932 | Have we not lost enough already in the daies of our vanity? |
| A26932 | Have you done all that you could with your friends and neighbours to get maintenance for another to help you? |
| A26932 | Have you found such a change or work as this upon your soul? |
| A26932 | Have you none in your Parish, not one or two to make Ruling Elders of, that by their conjunction you may be authorised to do more then now you do? |
| A26932 | Have you not so much maintenance yourself as might serve your self and another? |
| A26932 | He may make known to the Church that God hath commanded them, with such a one no not to eat? |
| A26932 | He will not hold him guiltless, that by false Oaths, or Vows, or Covenants with him doth take his holy Name in vain? |
| A26932 | Hospitalem? |
| A26932 | How apt to stumble at a very straw? |
| A26932 | How are we said to be Justified by faith? |
| A26932 | How can people tell when to come if the time be not made known? |
| A26932 | How can the people know the worth of bare notions and names of Discipline, without the thing? |
| A26932 | How can they think that that is good which doth no good? |
| A26932 | How can we tell whom to exclude, till we know who are included? |
| A26932 | How can you Preach against unmercifulness, while you are so unmerciful? |
| A26932 | How can you build if you first lay not a good foundation? |
| A26932 | How can you call out with serious servour upon poor sinners to repent and come in to God, that never Repented or came in your selves? |
| A26932 | How can you chuse, when you are laying a Corps in the grave, but think with your selves, Here lieth the body, but where is the soul? |
| A26932 | How can you open your mouthes against oppressors, when your selves are so great oppressors, not only of mens bodies but their souls? |
| A26932 | How can you set your selves day and night to a work that your carnal hearts are averse from? |
| A26932 | How canst thou tell people that sin is such a thing, and that so much misery is upon them and before them, and be no more affected with it? |
| A26932 | How couldst thou Preach of Heaven and Hell, in such a careless sleepy manner? |
| A26932 | How far is this from forsaking all? |
| A26932 | How few Ministers do Preach with all their might? |
| A26932 | How few be there that understand the true state of Controversies between the several parties? |
| A26932 | How few have I ever heard that heartily prest their people to their duty in this? |
| A26932 | How few of us do so behave our selves in our office, as men that are wholly devoted thereto, and have devoted all that they have to the same ends? |

| A26932 | How gladly doth he entertain this Message and offer? |
| A26932 | How graciously hath God prospered the studies of many young men, that were little children in the beginning of the late troubles? |
| A26932 | How know you the Scripture to be the word of God? |
| A26932 | How little difference is there between the pleasure of a long life and of a short, when they are both at an end? |
| A26932 | How little is it that the most Learned know, in comparison of that which yet they are ignorant of? |
| A26932 | How many Books have been written for Discipline, by English and Scottish Divines? |
| A26932 | How many a faithful Minister& private man is hated and reproached for the sake of such as you? |
| A26932 | How many a hot dispute have I heard of several subjects, which the disputants have been forced to manifest that they understood not? |
| A26932 | How many able faithful men are there now in a County in comparison of what were then? |
| A26932 | How many are dead already before they ever did any thing in this work that were long preparing for it? |
| A26932 | How many are entangled again in their former sensuality? |

| A26932 | How many of us are oftner found in the houses of Gentlemen, then in the poor cottages of those that have most need of our help? |
| A26932 | How many score, if not hundreds of Catechisms are written in England? |
| A26932 | How many sins to be avoided, which without understanding and foresight can not be done? |
| A26932 | How many weighty and yet intricate cases of conscience have we almost daily to resolve? |
| A26932 | How oft and how openly have you born witness of the odiousness, and damnable nature of sin? |
| A26932 | How oft doth it chose our subject? |
| A26932 | How oft have you proclaimed the evil and danger of it, and called sinners from it? |
| A26932 | How pleasant would the pulpit be? |
| A26932 | How rare is it to meet with a man that smarteth or bleedeth with the Churches wounds, or sensibly taketh them to heart as his own? |
| A26932 | How sad a sign do we make it to be in our preaching to our people, to live in the willful continued omission of any known duty? |
| A26932 | How should such matters be preacht and discourst of? |
| A26932 | How small is thy labour or condescention as to mine? |
| A26932 | How strange are they to the Heavenly message that we bring them: and know not what you say when you speak in that only language that they understand? |

| A26932 | How will you know the true Church? |
| A26932 | However, do not the Devils know more then you? |
| A26932 | I ask them further, But do you think that your amendment can make God any amendt or satisfaction for the sin that is past? |
| A26932 | I believe they are all slack and faulty; but are not we much more faulty? |
| A26932 | I can not but advise these men to search their own hearts, whether they unfeignedly believe that word, that they preach? |
| A26932 | I know I must shortly leave this world, and I am afraid lest I shall be miserable in the next I Could you deny your help to such a sinner? |
| A26932 | I know it is a great dispute whether preaching be proper to the Ministers or not? |
| A26932 | I know some have more discouragements and hinderances then others: But what discouragements can excuse us from such a duty? |
| A26932 | I know that Discipline is not essential to a Church; but what of that? |
| A26932 | I would it were not too much long of Ministers, that a great part of the people are so obstinate and contemptuous? |
| A26932 | If God''s threatnings be true, why do you not fear them? |
| A26932 | If a cripple do but unlap his sores, and shew you his disabled limbs, it will move you without words? |
| A26932 | If any business for the Church be on foot, how many neglect it for their own private business? |
| A26932 | If excuses will take off the danger of this sign, what man will not find them as well as you? |
| A26932 | If he could so value that which suited with his Platonism, how should we value the whole which is suitable to the Christian nature, and interest? |
| A26932 | If he refuse to read the book, endeavour to convince him of his unfaithfulness to the Truth and his own soul? |
| A26932 | If innocent Adam had need of heed, ● nd lost himself and us for want of it, how much more need have such as we? |
| A26932 | If it be dangerous, how dare you venture on it? |
| A26932 | If it be not, why do you disswade men from it? |
| A26932 | If it be not, why do you tell men so? |
| A26932 | If it must needs be many Pastors conjunct, that must exercise any act of Discipline, why is it not so done? |
| A26932 | If it was used in a much greater measure, by men so wise and holy as these, why should it in a lower measure be dis- allowed in another? |
| A26932 | If not, then what matter is it for Church- Governors? |
| A26932 | If not; why hath God commanded it? |
| A26932 | If only preaching be necessary, let us have none but meer Preachers: what needs there then such a stir about Government? |
| A26932 | If others run into the other extream, will that be any excuse to you? |
| A26932 | If sin be evil, why do you live in it? |
| A26932 | If the Judgements of God on one man should do so much, what should so many years judgement on so many hundreds of them do? |
| A26932 | If the Papists will Idolize the Church, shall we therefore deny it, disregard it, or divide it? |
| A26932 | If the work of the Lord be not soundly done upon your own hearts, how can you expect that he should bless your labours for the effecting it in others? |
| A26932 | If then he have committed to me the purchase of his blood, should I not as carefully look to my charge? |
| A26932 | If there be any work of Reformation to be set a foot, how many are there that will go no further then they are drawn? |
| A26932 | If these be no duties, why have we made such a noise and stir about them in the world as we have done? |
| A26932 | If they be duties, why do we not practise them ▪ If none of all these persons be scandalous, why do we not admit them to the Lords Supper? |
| A26932 | If they be false, why do you trouble men needlesly with them, and put them into such frights without a cause? |
| A26932 | If they could but buy it, what would they give for it? |
| A26932 | If they have not, why should they desire needlesly to tell them what they are daily told by you? |
| A26932 | If they keep away themselves, is not that a sin which a brother should not be permitted to remain in? |
| A26932 | If this be not a serving our selves of God, and not a serving God, and a selling mens souls for our fuller maintenance in the world; what is? |
| A26932 | If we do it not, it will lie upon our successors; And how can we look that they should be more hardy and resolute, and faithful then we? |
| A26932 | If we had but set a work this business sooner, that we have now agreed upon, who knows how many more might have been brought over unto Christ? |
| A26932 | If yea; why may you not bid them do that which is their duty? |
| A26932 | If you ask What is faith? |
| A26932 | If you ask by whose office and Ministry this sentence is denounced? |
| A26932 | If you ask them what is Forgiveness of sin? |
| A26932 | If you ask, Whether this be done by the Minister alone? |
| A26932 | If you be at that pass with Christ as the Israelite: were once with David, and say will the son of Jesse give you fields and vineyard? |
| A26932 | If you did not, why would you dissemblingly speak it? |
| A26932 | If you did, why would you keep it and commit it? |
| A26932 | If you do, how can you think any labour too much, for such weighty ends? |
| A26932 | If you have not therefore great seriousness, and fervency, and working matter, and fitness of expression, what good can you expect? |
| A26932 | If you would not Teach men, what do you in the Pulpit? |
| A26932 | If you would, why do you not speak so as to be understood? |
| A26932 | In Constantines daies, how prevalent were the Orthodox? |
| A26932 | In the Saints themselves, how soon do their graces languish if you neglect them? |
| A26932 | In which of the Ministers is this power placed?] |
| A26932 | Intus, nihil quod magis alat vitia, haeresis,& c. Annon vident Ecclesias suas principes plenas sectis haereticorum,& impurorum hominum? |
| A26932 | Ipsa Dei Ecclesia quae in omnibus esse debet placatrix Dei, quid est aliud quam exacerbatrix Dei? |
| A26932 | Is he a man or is he not? |
| A26932 | Is he called the first- born of all creatures as God, or as man? |
| A26932 | Is he called, the Image of the Invisible God, and the express Image of the Fathers person or subsistence as a creature, or as God? |
| A26932 | Is he fit to be Christs Officer, that will not take his Command as obligatory? |
| A26932 | Is infinite Goodness it self to be questioned or suspected by us, as making bad or unmerciful Laws? |
| A26932 | Is it Names and Honour, or the Work and End that these desire? |
| A26932 | Is it a Believing all the word of God? |
| A26932 | Is it a drudgery to send to the utmost parts of the world, to exchange our trifles for Gold and Jewels? |
| A26932 | Is it a name and a shadow that you have made all this noise about? |
| A26932 | Is it a work so good, and apparently conducing to so great benefits to the souls of men, and yet can you perceive no obligation to the doing of it? |
| A26932 | Is it all one as to become a true Christian? |
| A26932 | Is it for their own case or gain that they trouble you, or is it for your own everlasting gain? |
| A26932 | Is it for your persons, or for his Church? |
| A26932 | Is it indeed a sign that a man loveth not the Unity of the Saints, because he loveth not their dis- union and division? |
| A26932 | Is it necessity or not that hath cast you upon such a charge? |
| A26932 | Is it not a fearful deceit of heart for a man to think himself a godly Minister for finding fault with them that are less faulty then himself? |
| A26932 | Is it not a scandal for them to avoid the Ordinances of God and the Communion of the Church for so many years together as they do? |
| A26932 | Is it not just with God to give him over to delusion, that will not be at a little pains to be informed, nor afford the truth an equal hearing? |
| A26932 | Is it not more reason that you should pinch your flesh and family, then undertake a work that you can not do, and neglect the souls of so many men? |
| A26932 | Is it not pitty then that our Hearts are not more Orthodox as well as our heads? |
| A26932 | Is it not then a most happy undertaking that you are all setting your hands to, and desiring the assistance of Christ in, this day? |
| A26932 | Is it not therefore a most doleful case that learned sober men should plead for this as a desirable priviledge? |
| A26932 | Is it not your saved people in the presence of Christ Jesus at his coming? |
| A26932 | Is it nothing to be bred up to Learning, when others are bred at the plough and cart? |
| A26932 | Is it nothing to converse with Learned men, and talk of high and glorious things, when others must converse with almost none but silly ignorants? |
| A26932 | Is it of our Learning, Knowledge, abilities and gifts? |
| A26932 | Is it only to be sorry for sin, or is it, The change of the mind from sin to God, or both? |
| A26932 | Is it worth their labour, and patience, and is it not also worth ours? |
| A26932 | Is it your baptismal engagement to fight against the flesh? |
| A26932 | Is not Ministerial Commnnion a duty, as well as common- Christian Communion? |
| A26932 | Is not Pride the sin of Devils? |
| A26932 | Is not every true Christian a member of the body, and therefore partaketh of the blessings of the whole, and of each particular member thereof? |
| A26932 | Is not this a sad case in a Nation that glorieth of the fulness of the Gospel? |
| A26932 | Is not this evil from the ordering of the Lord? |
| A26932 | Is so hopeful and chargeable a Reformation so far frustrated by these men; and yet must we not open our mouths to tell them of it? |
| A26932 | Is so much of the fire of hell yet unextinguished, that at first was kindled in us? |
| A26932 | Is that point of order more necessary then the substance of the work, or the end it self? |
| A26932 | Is that the voice of obedience, or of rebellion? |
| A26932 | Is the Covenant of Grace made with the Elect only? |
| A26932 | Is the Covenant of Works Abrogated, or not? |
| A26932 | Is the distance so great that Presbyterian, Episcopal and Independent might not be well agreed? |
| A26932 | Is there any conversion without the word? |
| A26932 | Is there no way to peace but by participating of mens sin? |
| A26932 | Is there not such and such, and such a one, O how many round about thee, that are yet the visible sons of death? |
| A26932 | Is this Taking heed to our selves and to all the Flock? |
| A26932 | Is this like the pattern that is given us here in the Text? |
| A26932 | Is this the voice of Ministerial or Christian Compassion? |
| A26932 | Is this your case, or not? |
| A26932 | Is your flesh of any better mettle then your neighbours? |
| A26932 | It is now near three years since many of us here did engage our selves to this duty: And have we been faithful in performance of that engagement? |
| A26932 | It is worthy our consideration, Who is like to have the heavyer charge about this matter at the Bar of God? |
| A26932 | It makes them ask, What shall I say, and how shall I deliver it, to be thought a learned able Preacher, and to be applauded by all that hear me? |
| A26932 | It must be done, and why not by you as well as others? |
| A26932 | It s time to make up all breaches between us and Heaven, when we stand in such necessity of the Divine Protection? |
| A26932 | It was lawful in the Apostles daies to baptize without the Cross, and to pray, and praise God without the Surplice? |
| A26932 | It was part of my charge, what account can I give of it, O Sirs, is it a small matter to you to answer such questions, as these? |
| A26932 | Know we not how many malicious adversaries are day and night at work against us? |
| A26932 | Know whether he agree to all that is in the Catechism, which you teach the people? |
| A26932 | Let them know what a tendency this hath to their salvation; What a profitable improvement it will be of their time? |
| A26932 | Let us all set close to this part of our work, and then see what time we can find to spare? |
| A26932 | Let us be more so in propagating the Truth: Will they condescend to the meanest, and creep into houses to lead captive the sillyest of the Flock? |
| A26932 | Let us do so much more: Are they unwearied in propagating their opinions? |
| A26932 | May we not tell them of it, when we are bleeding by their hands? |
| A26932 | Mens souls may be saved without knowing, whether God did predetermine the creature in all its acts? |
| A26932 | Might not Mr. Bradford, or Hooper, or any that were burnt in Queen Maries daies have alledged more then this against duty? |
| A26932 | Might not you possibly have procured assistance for so great a charge? |
| A26932 | Much more may I say so about Justification( though perhaps the same thing with Remission) so if you ask them what Regeneration is? |
| A26932 | Must God wait on your friends? |
| A26932 | Must Paul do this, least after all his preaching he should be a cast- away? |
| A26932 | Must the people therefore turn their back on the Assemblies and Ordinances of God? |
| A26932 | Must they be served before God? |
| A26932 | Must we be patient to be ruined by them, and have they not the patience to hear of it? |
| A26932 | Nay is not your meaning, that you would have the Magistrate to do your work for you? |
| A26932 | Nay it is meer mercy in him that imposeth this great duty upon us? |
| A26932 | Nay when they can patiently live in the houses with riotous profane persons, and not follow them seriously and uncessantly for their change? |
| A26932 | Nay, What if he were against it? |
| A26932 | Nay, do not you rather by your abuse of God, provoke him to forsake and blast your endeavours? |
| A26932 | Nay, should you not rather beg your bread, then put such a thing as mens salvation upon a hazard, or disadvantage? |
| A26932 | Nay, what might we not have done, if our perversness had not marr''d our work? |
| A26932 | O Brethren, what a field of work is there before us? |
| A26932 | O Brethren, what abundance of good works are before us, and how few of them do we put our hands to? |
| A26932 | O Dear Brethren what men should we be in skil, resolution& unwearied diligence, that have all this to do? |
| A26932 | O how can you walk and talk, and be merry with such people, when you know their case? |
| A26932 | O how many Congregations are now plainly and frequently taught, that lived then in great obscurity? |
| A26932 | O how many precepts and admirable examples hath our Lord and master given us to this end? |
| A26932 | O sirs, how plain, how close and earnestly should we deliver a message of such a nature as ours is? |
| A26932 | O that this were your daily study, how to use your wealth, your friends, and all you have for God, as well as your tongues? |
| A26932 | O then if they could call time back again, how loud would they call? |
| A26932 | O what a Nation might England have been ere now, if it had not been for the proud and obstinate contentions of godly Ministers? |
| A26932 | O what a heart is it that will not pity such a one? |
| A26932 | O what a miserable world should we have, if blind self- conceited man had the ruling of it? |
| A26932 | O what abundance of things are there that a Minister should understand? |
| A26932 | O what an Argument is here to quicken the negligent? |
| A26932 | O what is it to answer for the neglect of such a charge? |
| A26932 | O what strong holds have we to batter, and how many of them? |
| A26932 | Of our body? |
| A26932 | Omnia amamus; omnia colimus; solus nobis in com ● aratione omnium Deus vilis est? |
| A26932 | On those two daies a week that you set apart for this work, what hinders but you may take an hour or two to walk for the exercise of your bodies? |
| A26932 | One would think it should be enough to set you on work, to shew a line in the Book of God, to prove it to be his will? |
| A26932 | Or a Physitian, By what authority he enjoyment them to take his Medicine? |
| A26932 | Or are they false- hearted to the interest of Christ, and have a design to undermine his Kingdom? |
| A26932 | Or are they grown cruel to the souls of men? |
| A26932 | Or are you cowardly and careless, and then blame your sword instead of using it, as thinking that the easier task? |
| A26932 | Or could that man be a fit instrument for other mens illumination, that were himself so blind? |
| A26932 | Or doth interlocution make it none? |
| A26932 | Or else they would not be so disagreed in the point? |
| A26932 | Or how can he plead Guiltless, whose conscience hath so much to say against him? |
| A26932 | Or if the Ministers keep their places, can they wish all the Congregations to stay at home, and live like Heathens? |
| A26932 | Or is their displeasure or censure a greater hurt to you, then Gods displeasure? |
| A26932 | Or rather must not the penalty of the violated Law be executed? |
| A26932 | Or that would give his money to relieve the poor, and they should ask him, By what authority do you require us to take this money? |
| A26932 | Or that you were born with sin? |
| A26932 | Or to believe that Christ is the Saviour of the world, and to Accept him for your Saviour to pardon, teach, govern and glorifie you? |
| A26932 | Or to bring men to heaven, that do not soundly believe that there is such a thing? |
| A26932 | Or what is Repentance? |
| A26932 | Or would you excuse one of these men if he come off his work, and say, I am but flesh and blood, I must have some pleasure or relaxation? |
| A26932 | Ornatum, non vinolentum, non percussorem, sed modestum, non litigiosum, non cupidum? |
| A26932 | Our Learning and Knowledge and Ministerial gifts will condemn us ▪ For to what are we made partakers of these, but for the work of God? |
| A26932 | Quare? |
| A26932 | Quid enim agunt Ministri cum excommunicant? |
| A26932 | Quid enim futurum est, si unicuique liceat quod libuerit? |
| A26932 | Quid tibi blandiris O homo quisquis es, Credulitate, quae sine timore atque obsequio Dei nulla est? |
| A26932 | Quomodo igitur gloriamur restitutum esse Evangelium in Ecclesiis nostris, si hanc eamque non postremam partem Evangelii restitutam- nolumus? |
| A26932 | Read the Scripture and see, whether they that obeyed Gods Messengers, or they that despised and disobeyed them sped best? |
| A26932 | Religionis Habeatur plane,& maximus: Nam quis ille est tam invidus hominibus, tam exosus Deo, qui isiud probibere conetur? |
| A26932 | Sed for sitan dicit aliquis: Nullusneergo in Ecclesiâ Christi profectus haeb ● bitur? |
| A26932 | Sed quid erit, ubi nec pater, nec filius, mali genitoris exemplo privatus, conspicitur castus? |
| A26932 | Sed quomodo vos aliquid solvetis, ut sit solutum,& in coelis, à coelo ob scelera adempti,& immanium peccatorum funibus compediti? |
| A26932 | Shall I take this therefore for a truth which the Church then held? |
| A26932 | Shall Ministers study, and preach, and pray for you, and shall they be despised? |
| A26932 | Shall all the blood and cost of this People be frustrated, or not? |
| A26932 | Shall we hate them most, whom we are bound to love best? |
| A26932 | Shall we pamper our bodies, and give them their desires in unnecessary pleasures, when Paul must keep under his body, and bring it into subjection? |
| A26932 | Shall we say, This should not have been spoken of us in the ears of the people, but we should have been honoured before them? |
| A26932 | Shall we think it was shed for them that are not worthy of our utmost care? |
| A26932 | Shall we think that they have ceased their enterprise, because they are working more subtilly in the dark? |
| A26932 | Should Christ have com, or been our Head, or have brought us to glory, if man had not fallen? |
| A26932 | Should there have been any Resurrection of the body, if Christ had not come to procure it? |
| A26932 | Should they do their part in a subordinate office to protect and further us, and should not we do ours who stand nearest to the end? |
| A26932 | Si quis autem domui suae praeesse nescit, quomodo Ecclesiae Dei diligentiam adhibebit? |
| A26932 | Sirs, do you think they will be hearty and diligent to save men from hell, that be not heartily perswaded that there is a hell? |
| A26932 | So that if they had not been restrained and kept in quiet by the Emperor, how soon would they have made a sadder havock then they did? |
| A26932 | So that when we have quarrelled never so long, what is it but the Peoples consent that the moderate men on one side do require? |
| A26932 | So you have but food and rayment, must you not therewith be content? |
| A26932 | Such men have a promise of pardon from God; and shall men take us by the throat when God forgiveth us? |
| A26932 | Tell me Brethren, in the fear of God: Do you regard the success of your labours, or do you not? |
| A26932 | Tell them of such a Glory, and scarce speak a word to them personallly to help them to it? |
| A26932 | That good men should no better know themselves? |
| A26932 | That those Ordinances of God should be the Occasions of our delusion, which are instituted to be the means of our conviction and salvation? |
| A26932 | The Lord that seeth your heart doth know whether it be so or not? |
| A26932 | The Magistrates Leave we have; who hindereth or forbiddeth you to set up Discipline, and exercise it faithfully? |
| A26932 | The Nation may say, How oft did we beg it of God, and Petition the Parliament for it, and now the Ministers deny us the enjoyment of it? |
| A26932 | The Parliament may say, How long did we sit and consult about Reformation; and now the Ministers will not execute the power that is granted them? |
| A26932 | The great Objection that seemeth to hinder some from this work, is because we are not agreed yet, who it is that must do it? |
| A26932 | Then wo to poor Prelates? |
| A26932 | There is one more gone to Iudgement: what didst thou to prepare them for Iudgement? |
| A26932 | They ask, where are we bound to pray morning and evening? |
| A26932 | They will answer we hope so, or else we know not what will? |
| A26932 | Think when you rise in the morning, O what if this day should be my last, and death should find me in an unrenewed state? |
| A26932 | Thou that makest thy boast of the Law, through breaking the Law dishonourest thou God? |
| A26932 | Thou that saiest a man should not commit adultery, or be drunk, or covetous, art thou such thy self? |
| A26932 | Thou that teachest another, teachest thou not thy self? |
| A26932 | To bind heavy burdens for others, and not to touch them our selves with a finger? |
| A26932 | To this end their design is partly to cry them down as false teachers( but how are they baffled when it comes to the proof?) |
| A26932 | To whom I say, why do you not on the same grounds forbear going to Christ, and say You love to live privately? |
| A26932 | WHat it is to Take heed to all the Flock? |
| A26932 | Was Adam bound to believe in Christ? |
| A26932 | Was Christ a creature before his Incarnation, or the Creation? |
| A26932 | Was it a Covenant of Works, or of Grace that was made by Moses? |
| A26932 | Was one, or two Covenants made with Adam before his fall? |
| A26932 | Was there ever a Nation on the race of the earth that hath so solemnly and so long, followed God with fasting and prayer as we have done? |
| A26932 | We feel much: we fear more; and all''s for sin: and yet are we so hardly drawn to a Confession? |
| A26932 | We may take time for necessary Recreation for all this? |
| A26932 | We must study Humility, and Preach Humility; and must we not possess and practice it? |
| A26932 | We teach them in publike; and how then are we bound to teach them man by man besides? |
| A26932 | Were these such great matters with me at Church, and so small when I came home?] |
| A26932 | Were they now become more necessary then the Preaching of the Gospel, when in the Apostles times they were of no necessity or use at all? |
| A26932 | Were they worth my blood, and are they not worth thy labour? |
| A26932 | What I must we have new Laws made every time the old ones are broken? |
| A26932 | What Prince will chose the friends and voluntary servants of his enemy to lead his Armies in war against him? |
| A26932 | What Sanctification is? |
| A26932 | What Sanctification, Vocation, Regeneration? |
| A26932 | What Sirs shall we despise the blood of Christ? |
| A26932 | What Sirs, are you that are men of wisdom as dull as the common people? |
| A26932 | What a number of slye and subtile temptations must we open to our peoples eyes, that they may escape them? |
| A26932 | What a sad case is it that so vile a sin is no more easily discerned by us? |
| A26932 | What abundance of distemperers, and lusts, and passions, do you cast your gracious words amongst? |
| A26932 | What abundance of good might we do, could we but bring our people to this? |
| A26932 | What an Obligation then is laid upon us by our call? |
| A26932 | What are all those Articles that you have here agreed on among your selves about Catechizing and Discipline, but such things? |
| A26932 | What are you to him more then other men, but for his work and peoples sakes? |
| A26932 | What beams would these be in your eyes that now seem motes, if you did but see them with a clearer light? |
| A26932 | What can they see in our Persons or Countenances for which they should so doate upon us? |
| A26932 | What can we call it less? |
| A26932 | What can you devise to say for the most part, but it will be against your own souls? |
| A26932 | What can you say to this in judgement? |
| A26932 | What change must be made on all that shall be saved? |
| A26932 | What comfort will it be at death, that you lengthened your life by shortening your work? |
| A26932 | What difference between their pulpit speeches and their familiar discourse? |
| A26932 | What do you as Church- Governors against these same sins? |
| A26932 | What doth the number we speak to make it preaching? |
| A26932 | What else are we Overseers for? |
| A26932 | What fornicator so impudent as to sin in the open streets while all look on? |
| A26932 | What free- will is? |
| A26932 | What hast thou said to them or done for their recovery? |
| A26932 | What have we our time and strength for, but to lay it out for God? |
| A26932 | What if Ephesus and each other City or Church had then but one Presbyter? |

| A26932 | Why may not written words that are still before their eyes and in their memories; instruct them, as well as the transient words of a Preacher? |

| A26932 | Would they not have separated from the whole Church on the same ground, if they had lived in these times? |
| A26932 | Would you forbear Sermons and Sacraments so many years on pretence of unseasonableness? |
| A26932 | Would you have a Law made to Punish you if you will not do your duty? |
| A26932 | Would you have people value your way of Government or not? |
| A26932 | Would you have the Magistrate to punish men eo nomine, because excommunicated, without any particular cognisance of the fact and case? |
| A26932 | Would you have your people be more careful of their souls, then you will be of yours? |
| A26932 | Would you not say, The work must be done, or we are all dead men: is the ship ready to sink, and do you talk of Reputation? |
| A26932 | Yea and to take the sole Government of them, while the particular Teachers of them are free from that undertaking? |
| A26932 | Yea or hazard the damnation but of one soul? |
| A26932 | Yea or who would ever have been a Christian? |
| A26932 | Yet if we had man only to plead our cause with, perhaps we might do much to make it good: but while God accuseth us, how shall we be justified? |
| A26932 | You blame the Magistrate for giving so much liberty; and is it not long of your selves that he doth so? |
| A26932 | You have neighbours that could learn more, that have had as much to do in the world as you, and as little time? |
| A26932 | You may see here it is not a little fault that negligent Pastors are guilty of? |
| A26932 | You pray for them in Publike: Must you not also pray for them in private? |
| A26932 | You speak hardly of all the Ministers about you? |
| A26932 | You will ask them perhaps What is God? |
| A26932 | [ Quid plura? |
| A26932 | [ What shall become of us after the end of this world? |
| A26932 | a heart of stone, or a very rock, or adamant, or the heart of a Tyger? |
| A26932 | and did not all this befall them for our examples? |
| A26932 | and did not first set down and count your costs? |
| A26932 | and do we need to heap up a multitude of words to perswade you to a known and weighty duty? |
| A26932 | and do you know that much of the Christian warfare consisteth in the combate between the flesh and the spirit? |
| A26932 | and encourage men to look out for better societties where that Discipline may be had? |
| A26932 | and for Christ to say, It was the purchase of my blood that thou didst so make light of, and dost thou think to be saved by it thy self? |
| A26932 | and hath not the Church always thought so, and practised accordingly? |
| A26932 | and have not some of them the faces to justifie all the former impositions and persecutions, and draw or continue the guile of it upon their heads? |
| A26932 | and have not we cause to fear it of our selves much more? |
| A26932 | and have pitty on them that have none upon your selves? |
| A26932 | and have there been no attempts for their overthrow? |
| A26932 | and how can he be his Disciple, that refuseth to be taught by him? |
| A26932 | and how can these men be fit for the Ministry that are such enemies to self- denyal, and so to true Christianity? |
| A26932 | and how can we think that they will much regard our counsel, while they abhor or dis- regard the persons that give it them? |
| A26932 | and how defective an answer must you make your selves? |
| A26932 | and how fully hath it been defended? |
| A26932 | and how high the same spirit yet is, and busily contriving the accomplishment of the same design? |
| A26932 | and how is it made? |
| A26932 | and how much happyer we might have made our Parishes, ere now? |
| A26932 | and is it tollerable evil in a man that is so engaged against him and his Kingdom as we are? |
| A26932 | and must they not shortly be as loathsom and abominable as the dung? |
| A26932 | and of how much moment is every part? |
| A26932 | and others sit still and look on it as a thing not worth the trouble: How many thousand persons may come to the condemnation of such men? |
| A26932 | and partly to perswade you that they have no calling to the work; and urge them to prove their calling( which how easily can we do?) |
| A26932 | and shall we shew it by forbearing our plain rebuke, and suffering their sin upon them? |
| A26932 | and so whether such exercises or repetitions be more necessary? |
| A26932 | and that the Presbyters might be but their curates and informers? |
| A26932 | and that they tremble not rather at the thoughts of so great an undertaking? |
| A26932 | and to a Real Reformation of Discipline in our practice? |
| A26932 | and to distrain for that by a yet sorer Judgement, which we denyed voluntarily to surrender to him? |
| A26932 | and was I willing to make thee a co- worker with me, and wilt thou refuse that little that lyeth upon thy hands? |
| A26932 | and what a delight would our conference of these things afford? |
| A26932 | and what a great defect is it to be ignorant of them? |
| A26932 | and what a number of those worlds? |
| A26932 | and what an Argument to condemn those that will not be quickned up to their duty by it? |
| A26932 | and what do you call your selves the Ministers of Christ for? |
| A26932 | and what have I done for it, before it departed? |
| A26932 | and what is a wicked and damnable state, but a devotedness to our carnal selves, and a living to our selves? |
| A26932 | and what is it that our hearts must be most set upon?] |
| A26932 | and what is my life worth, but to do him service? |
| A26932 | and what is the proper difference of a Regenerate man from all others? |
| A26932 | and what reason have such to fear least their money perish with them? |
| A26932 | and what reproach hath been cast upon the adversaries of it through the Land? |
| A26932 | and what should I say that is likely most effectually to convince them, and convert them, and tend to their salvation? |
| A26932 | and what sins more hainous then the betraying of souls? |
| A26932 | and what would you have more then that which may enable you for the work of God? |
| A26932 | and when God hath bid you, first seek his Kingdom and the righteousness thereof? |
| A26932 | and when men can not do their worldly business without knowledge, nor learn a trade without an apprentiship? |
| A26932 | and where had you now been? |
| A26932 | and wherein doth it consist? |
| A26932 | and whether God will hear their prayers, if they regard iniquity in their hearts? |
| A26932 | and whether a wicked Preacher shall stand in the Iudgement, or sinners in the Assembly of the just? |
| A26932 | and whether they should not go together from the very first? |
| A26932 | and who can be silent while souls are undone? |
| A26932 | and who shall be saved by the blood of Christ? |
| A26932 | and who shall hide our sins, when he will have them brought to light? |
| A26932 | and who would have been a lying sacrilegious hypocrite, that had seen ● nanias and Saphira dye? |
| A26932 | and whose favour can recompence for the ruines of the Church? |
| A26932 | and will he honour us, if we be idle and sensual? |
| A26932 | and will not the case of souls that are neer to damnation move you? |
| A26932 | and would we not have said as Hazael, Is thy servant a dog, that he should do this thing? |
| A26932 | and yet dare we imitate them? |
| A26932 | and yet shall we forbear to use them? |
| A26932 | and yet those fore thoughts will not recover such working apprehensions? |
| A26932 | and yet will you entertain it against all these professions and testimonies of your own? |
| A26932 | and yet will you refuse your help? |
| A26932 | another will ask you, how you can be a true Minister, if you had your Ordination from Prelates? |
| A26932 | are they all so negligent? |
| A26932 | as if the Law were not sufficient because men break it? |
| A26932 | aut pr ● ter paucissim ● s qu ● sdam qui mala fugiunt, quid est aliud pene omnis coetus Christianorum quam sentina vitiorum? |
| A26932 | but as to the sense and inside of it, it was, Whether there should be any effectual Church- Government, or not? |
| A26932 | but that is the smallest matter: but who knows how many weak ones may be perverted by the success, to their own undoing and the trouble of the Church? |
| A26932 | can not you speak soberly and moderately? |
| A26932 | could you find in your hearts to drive them away without advice? |
| A26932 | dare you tell God that you will not do his work unless the Magistrate drive you to it with scourges? |
| A26932 | dicta Evangeliorum magis diligant au thymelicorum? |
| A26932 | do you not know what it is to be unfaithful to your trust, and by negligence or self- seeking to betray mens souls? |
| A26932 | give them up as hopeless? |
| A26932 | how by works? |
| A26932 | how have you spent your time till now? |
| A26932 | how many Ministers may you ask before you have a right answer? |
| A26932 | how oft have you declared the terrors of the Lord? |
| A26932 | how sorrily would many very learned Divines answer you? |
| A26932 | is he made of flesh and blood as we are? |
| A26932 | is it not that wherein Satans Image doth much consist? |
| A26932 | is it of our Graces? |
| A26932 | it will make us talk to our selves in Bernards language, Quare O miser non omni hora ad mortem te disponis? |
| A26932 | must I daily and earnestly plead with sinners about everlasting life and death, and have no more belief and feeling of these weighty things my self? |
| A26932 | nor exercise any considerable part of Discipline at all? |
| A26932 | or a single Pastor? |
| A26932 | or any greater business to mind then your salvation? |
| A26932 | or did you not? |
| A26932 | or draw such a burden wilfully on themselves? |
| A26932 | or for the quickning of others, that were himself so sensless? |
| A26932 | or had you rather hazard your self and us, then hear of your sloathfulness? |

| A26932 | or is he an invisible spirit? |
| A26932 | or less to God? |
| A26932 | or rather of sensual Lazarus, and diabolical cruelty I Doth God set you work to do, and will you not believe that he would have you do it? |
| A26932 | or rather the heart of an Infidel? |
| A26932 | or should tell you that you wrong them by diminishing their reputation? |
| A26932 | or that ever had solicitous thoughts of a cure? |
| A26932 | or that ever well discerned how many of them are but Verbal, and how many are Real? |
| A26932 | or that its like it can be had without any care or pains? |
| A26932 | or the People? |
| A26932 | or to prove to you that the work hath a tendency to mens salvation? |
| A26932 | or to speak against the sin that we live in? |
| A26932 | or whether a Presbyterie? |
| A26932 | or will he venture his soul( as the ungodly do) and the Churches peace with it, and all to save himself so small a labour? |
| A26932 | or with all? |
| A26932 | or with whom? |
| A26932 | quid nobis invidemus? |

| A26932 | shall they there curse thee for ever that didst no more in time to save them? |
| A26932 | shall we deny, or excuse, or extenuate our sins, while we call our people to such free Confessions? |
| A26932 | shouldst thou not cry aloud, and shew them their transgressions? |
| A26932 | shouldst thou not weep over such a people, and should not thy tears interrupt thy words? |

| A26932 | to call it publikely all to naught, and privately to make it our bed- fellow and companion? |
| A26932 | verba Christi, an mimi? |

| A26932 | whether it be a Christ in the mouth or in the heart that will save men? |

| A26947 | ? |
| A26947 | Also we would know, when they baptize the Adult, whether they require any profession of the faith from them or not? |
| A26947 | And Azorius saith, Is it lawfull for a person of quality to kill one that would give him a box on the ear, or a bang with a stick? |
| A26947 | And I pray, what General Council did ever condemn the Greeks, for those many errors charged on them? |

| A26947 | And do you think the Head of the Roman Church was then Holy? |
| A26947 | And do you think this doth not give away the Vicarship? |
| A26947 | And doth a man change his Religion or Worship of God, if he either begin or cease to use a Book? |
| A26947 | And doth not this Miracle justifie us that give the people the Wine, and condemn you, that refuse to give it them? |
| A26947 | And for Councils themselves, who knows which to take for currant and of Authority? |
| A26947 | And for Fathers, do I need to tell you how many condemned Marcellinus, Liberius, Honorius and others? |
| A26947 | And for shame do not any more hereafter use any such self- condemning words, as to ask any Sect,[ How dare you condemn the Catholick Church? |
| A26947 | And hath this Kingdom an Universal Visible Monarch? |
| A26947 | And how easie and pleasing is this to proud corrupted Nature? |
| A26947 | And how easie and pleasing is this to the ungodly? |
| A26947 | And how many lives must he have that shall do it? |
| A26947 | And how many thousand Whores are licensed at Rome, how sumptuously they live, what revenues come to the Pope by them? |
| A26947 | And how prove they all this? |
| A26947 | And how proves he the Minor? |
| A26947 | And how shall the Christian world know whether it were a true General Council or not? |
| A26947 | And how should these and all such Countries send Bishops to a General Council? |
| A26947 | And how will Papists deal with Heathens if they will deny the proofs from sense and reason? |
| A26947 | And if General Councils themselves, and that of your own, should be for the sufficiency of Scripture; what then is become of all your Traditions? |
| A26947 | And if God be merciful to us, what other addition have we need of? |
| A26947 | And if all be not, how shall we know which is? |
| A26947 | And if it be still a true Church what hinders but we may be so to? |
| A26947 | And if so, we will not take it for our adversary? |
| A26947 | And if so, whether it be not all, de fide matter of Faith? |
| A26947 | And if this be it they contend for, they may Rule without a Commission from the Prince: Who will hinder them, that hath any fear of God? |
| A26947 | And if writing be not necessary, why have we so many Fathers, Histories, and Canons? |
| A26947 | And if you go further, who can limit, and say who, and how many they be, and how far the number may be increased or decreased, and by whom? |
| A26947 | And if you knew them, yet what a loss are you at to know their Decrees and Canons? |
| A26947 | And if you say that it belongs to the Emperour, I answer, what hath he to do to summon the subjects of the French, Spaniards, Turks, Aethiopian,& c? |
| A26947 | And in good sadness was that the meaning of your Question[ What Council, that is, what Pope condemned our Church?] |
| A26947 | And indeed was Christ a Pope? |
| A26947 | And is all this Nothing to you that seemed so much to Paul? |
| A26947 | And is he to be in every Parish where are divers presbyters? |
| A26947 | And is it certain that all these shall be damned, because they believe not in the Pope? |
| A26947 | And is not the Church essentially a company of Christians; the spouse, and body, and school, and Kingdom of Christ? |
| A26947 | And is not the Pope essentially the pretended Vicar of Christ? |
| A26947 | And is there any thing in your way that better tendeth to the deciding of controversies then in ours? |
| A26947 | And is this an easie task to one that hath the heart of a man in his brest? |
| A26947 | And is this difference so great a business? |
| A26947 | And is this man a Papist? |
| A26947 | And let us ask you, as you teach your followers to ask us,[ If we must turn from the Universal Church to any Sect, why rather to yours then another? |
| A26947 | And may we not conjecture, and be strongly perswaded that these, or some of these, or some one of these, was a holy justified person? |
| A26947 | And may you not see in this, how other points came in? |
| A26947 | And must I needs go that difficult way to Heaven, because that some of them get thither? |
| A26947 | And must we cast out our Pastors to receive such as these? |
| A26947 | And must we needs be of that faith that damneth all men, and of that Church where none are saved? |
| A26947 | And now I am content that any impartial man be judge whether Papists or the Reformed Churches are the more mutable and unsetled in their Religion? |
| A26947 | And now I leave it to the Conscience of any sober Papist, whether we be guilty in any one point that this great Cardinal chargeth us with? |
| A26947 | And now I pray consider to what purpose is the rest of your reasoning? |
| A26947 | And now Reader I leave thee to judge, whether the Romane Church had a holy Head, when it had a Heathen and a Devil incarnate? |
| A26947 | And now censorious Slanderer, tell me, what thou wouldst have had me to have done more? |
| A26947 | And shall these partial ambitious men be the witnesses? |
| A26947 | And sometime the Pope is called the Pillar of the Church; And what of that? |
| A26947 | And speaking of all others in his own person and Apollos, saith[ Who then is Paul, or who is Apollo, but Ministers by whom ye believed?] |
| A26947 | And that the Council of Basil called by him did the like? |
| A26947 | And then before the Nicene Council, what General Councils were there since the Apostle days? |
| A26947 | And then how do succeeding Popes and Clergy know it? |
| A26947 | And then why do not the Grotians in Ireland and England obey the Antiarminian Decrees of the Churches in both? |
| A26947 | And therefore we ought not to be solicitous of obtaining a Unity with open ungodly men; For what Communion hath light with darkness? |
| A26947 | And they will ask you what reason you have among all these Sects to believe one of them rather then another? |
| A26947 | And this is our true answer to the question, whether the Church of Rome be a true Church? |
| A26947 | And was John the thirteenth a Vice christ to extinguish Heresies by all that diabolical villany that he was deposed for by a Council? |
| A26947 | And was the Church no wider then the Empire? |
| A26947 | And was this St. Gregories Sanctity? |
| A26947 | And was this the Roman Sanctity even then? |
| A26947 | And we would be informed by them, whether all true Christians in the world are of the same stature or degree of knowledge and explicite belief? |
| A26947 | And we would know of them whether all that is Revealed by God be of absolute Necessity to every mans salvation that do or may hear it? |
| A26947 | And we would know whether all shall be damned, that know not as much as the most Learned and Wise? |
| A26947 | And we would know whether there be not some things Essential to true Obedience, and some things not Essential? |
| A26947 | And well it is done by you? |
| A26947 | And were the Churches better in the third, fourth, fift, sixt, or following Ages? |
| A26947 | And were they the Catholick Church? |
| A26947 | And were this any Novelty in us? |
| A26947 | And what Church did they forsake? |
| A26947 | And what Controversie can there be, where so many Nations themselves are witnesses against you? |
| A26947 | And what Noblemen or Persons of Interest in England lay not under assaults and solicitations in those days? |
| A26947 | And what a wonder is it that Learned Doctors see not their own contradiction? |
| A26947 | And what call you[ a material point?] |
| A26947 | And what cause is here of your quarrell? |
| A26947 | And what doth he so importune them for? |
| A26947 | And what flattering language did his successors use to the most base murderers and usurpers of the Empire? |
| A26947 | And what had Constantine, Martian, Theodosius, or any Roman Emperour to do, to call the subjects in India, Aethiopia, Persia,& c. to a Council? |
| A26947 | And what if it be proved that exterior and interior Jurisdiction of a Pastor is all one? |
| A26947 | And what if they could find that Rome were called the mother of all Churches? |
| A26947 | And what if we do so at the Sacrament? |
| A26947 | And what mean they to distinguish of Implicite and Explicite faith? |
| A26947 | And what of all this? |
| A26947 | And what power had those Emperors at the other side of the world? |
| A26947 | And what reason have we to let the lesser number Judge over the Greater? |
| A26947 | And what saith H. Turbervile to this? |
| A26947 | And what should hinder the Introduction of Novelty when General Councils do so often err? |
| A26947 | And what then? |
| A26947 | And what then? |
| A26947 | And what unity will you keep at the Antipodes? |
| A26947 | And what''s that to all Patriarcks before and after that rejected it not? |
| A26947 | And what''s their ground? |
| A26947 | And when he was near to death was still at work, asking those that intreated him to forbear, Whether they would have God find him idle? |
| A26947 | And when that is done, who shall bear their charges in the journey? |
| A26947 | And whence came it that Sexby, and others, that have been Souldiers in our Armies, have confederated with Spain to murder the Lord Protector? |
| A26947 | And whence came the Hiders Body of Divinity, that hath infected so many high and low? |
| A26947 | And whence came their Jesuitical Treasonable Pamphlets( such as Killing no Murder) provoking men to take away his life? |
| A26947 | And where are the swarms of the English Jesuites and Fryars, that are known to have emptyed themselves upon us from their Colledges beyond Sea? |
| A26947 | And where be all that die in the Eastern and Southern Churches, that are no subjects of the Pope of Rome? |
| A26947 | And where is this to be found and known? |
| A26947 | And where then was the Church when it had no Head? |
| A26947 | And whether Papists and Protestants were not in a fair way for reconciliation, if we differed not more in other things then in these? |
| A26947 | And whether it be all Princes, or only Christian Princes that should consent, who can tell whether ever it will be? |
| A26947 | And whether it be like to be the Cause of God that must be maintained by such means? |
| A26947 | And whether that were a Pope or not that was chosen by the whole Romane Clergie? |
| A26947 | And whether the People, the Council, or the Emperours were the Romane Clergy? |
| A26947 | And whether the lives of all the Princes and People upon earth whom the Pope judgeth Hereticks, should be at his mercy? |
| A26947 | And whether we should be Tormented and burnt as Hereticks? |
| A26947 | And which of these is the firmer foundation? |
| A26947 | And who are they? |
| A26947 | And who denies that Christ also governeth his Church by men? |
| A26947 | And who gave Paul that Power? |
| A26947 | And who is now to be believed? |
| A26947 | And who made Timothy and Titus Bishops? |
| A26947 | And who shall be judge of each mans case, whether he could or ought to have been there? |
| A26947 | And who shall pay for this, or maintain me in thy service? |
| A26947 | And who will ever want so easie, so obvious, so cheap a Remedy against all danger of perjury, as a mental Reservation is? |
| A26947 | And who will not rather be of the Roman Church and Religion then of none? |
| A26947 | And whose Son was Aloisus, made Prince of Parma by Pope Paul the third? |
| A26947 | And why beholdest thou the mote in thy brothers eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? |
| A26947 | And why do not these blind and partial men see, that the same course also must be taken with their own Laws? |
| A26947 | And why do they fetch their Tradition from these, and ridiculously call them unwritten verities? |
| A26947 | And why doth not the Pope decide these controversies? |
| A26947 | And why is[ Spiritually] put as contradistinct? |
| A26947 | And why may not we do so then as well as you? |
| A26947 | And why not one to give us his own body and blood in the Sacrament? |
| A26947 | And why should we expect that it should now be otherwise? |
| A26947 | And why then do they tell our people, that they take not the Pope for the Rule of their Faith? |
| A26947 | And why then is it necessary in our case that all must explicitely believe all those Articles? |
| A26947 | And why then should it be denyed of the power of exterior Jurisdiction? |
| A26947 | And will ever a General Council be held upon these terms? |
| A26947 | And will not this content you? |
| A26947 | And will not this prove that Rome was but such a particular Church as one of them? |
| A26947 | And will the Churches be so barbarous as to turn out their aged faithful Pastors upon the jaws of death? |
| A26947 | And will they therefore grant that the Decrees of Popes and Councils are no sufficient discovery of their Faith? |
| A26947 | And will you ask me now why I will not be of another sect, as well as of the Protestants? |
| A26947 | And will you be there to condemn your selves? |
| A26947 | And would not the Orthodox desire so much as a word from Rome for this advantage? |
| A26947 | And would you have us give you a Catalogue of all the Christians in the world, since Christ? |
| A26947 | And yet dost thou reproach me that receive not a groat? |
| A26947 | And yet doth he grant it? |
| A26947 | And yet have you the faces to make this a reproach of us? |
| A26947 | And yet will they glory in the effectualness of their means of unity? |
| A26947 | And[ Who then is Paul, and who is Apollo? |
| A26947 | Answ Is this your sanctity? |
| A26947 | Are not his words plain enough, and frequent enough to open to us so much of his mind as I have charged him with? |
| A26947 | Are these points no whit Material? |
| A26947 | Are they not like to Govern the Universal Church well, that can no better Govern themselves, or that one City where they dwell? |
| A26947 | Are they not now of the same Church and Religion as ever they have been? |
| A26947 | Are they unwritten, when they turn us to so many volumes for them? |
| A26947 | Are we Protestants the lesser number as to you? |
| A26947 | Are you in Heaven already? |
| A26947 | Are you not all convinced by this admirable argument? |
| A26947 | Are you not at odds among your selves about perseverance? |
| A26947 | Are you not yet as full of controversies among your selves, as any Christians on the face of the earth? |
| A26947 | Are you not yet at controversie with Infidels, Whether Christ be the Redeemer: and with Hereticks whether he be true eternall God? |
| A26947 | As if it were nothing to see to the execution of Gods Laws? |
| A26947 | Augustine began to doubt, whether there were not some kind of Purgatory: But who first made this also a point of faith? |
| A26947 | Augustine tells them over and over what the Catholick Church was that they withdrew from? |
| A26947 | Austin Retracted his own errors, and which of us dare Justifie every word that hath faln from our mouths or pen, before God? |
| A26947 | BUT if this be not the way of the Churches Unity, which is? |
| A26947 | But I would ask them, whether we or they do better know our Religion? |
| A26947 | But alas, their very worship of God is much of it composed of Lyes, and is not that like to be acceptable worship? |
| A26947 | But at least, tell us, Is no one of all those many hundred or thousand Texts which your Commentators differ about any matter of Faith? |
| A26947 | But dare you say that you have no sinfull ignorance to bewail? |
| A26947 | But for the first, 1. Who hath authority to make such diminutions? |
| A26947 | But had they any Interest in the Councils and Forces of the Parliament? |
| A26947 | But have we not better proof of the contrary? |
| A26947 | But he concludeth hence[ Num alia ratione,& c. Shall we believe that Christ doth govern his Church in another way then God governeth the whole world?] |
| A26947 | But how doth this Disputer prove his Minor, that we have no Succession? |
| A26947 | But how know you that there is any such thing in Scripture? |
| A26947 | But how prove they that Countrey Parishes may not have Bishops? |
| A26947 | But how shall these Hiders be Detected? |
| A26947 | But how shall we know the way and mind of the ages past? |
| A26947 | But how will they answer this themselves? |
| A26947 | But if Bishops succeed not Apostles, and have not any of the Apostolick Power, who then doth the Bishop of Rome succeed? |
| A26947 | But if Gods anger on us remain, what help can the pride of the West bring us? |
| A26947 | But if these Murders and deposing Kings be indeed a duty, how can they know it to be so, but by Believing? |
| A26947 | But if they can shew us no law of God empowring these speciall consecrators, any more then others, then where is the Papacy that dependeth on it? |
| A26947 | But if this must not hold, then Must All the Bishops of the world be there, or only some, and how many? |
| A26947 | But if you are so little men as to venture your souls without Reason, me thinks you should not venture against it? |
| A26947 | But in what case is it that you mean, that other points are of Necessity to some? |
| A26947 | But is it not a fine world, when Wicklife must not be of our Church because he is supposed to deny the power of Magistrates in mortal sin? |
| A26947 | But is it the Ancient Church, or the present Church that must decide the cause? |
| A26947 | But is not the Juggle in the word[ Manner?] |
| A26947 | But is there any hope that while men are as they are, such healing Truths should be received and obeyed? |
| A26947 | But it is not against your faith? |
| A26947 | But may it not stand with faith to be ignorant, and that through sinfull neglect, of some revealed truth of God, or of the meaning of his word? |
| A26947 | But may not Christians of several Degrees of Knowledge be in the same Catholick Church? |
| A26947 | But may we not be Roman Catholikes though we joyn not with them in this point? |
| A26947 | But our first question is, Whether de facto such a thing be? |
| A26947 | But some say, if all may use what way they will, what order shall we have? |
| A26947 | But suppose he do, what''s that to a succession, while the three first ages are strangers to Popery? |
| A26947 | But suppose them furnished with all necessaries, and setting forward; How long will they be in their journey? |
| A26947 | But suppose there were, yet we must be resolved whether it be some or all the Italian Bishops that must do it? |
| A26947 | But suppose you will be so unreasonable, yet I hope you have your five senses still? |
| A26947 | But the Civil power hath been exercised by an Emperour over more then all the Christian world: And why then may not the Ecclesiastical? |
| A26947 | But then the doubt remaineth whether there be a Necessity of any certain Number of Bishops? |
| A26947 | But then what if laziness or danger deterr them or detain them? |
| A26947 | But to conclude, what need we any more, then to find you owning the very doctrine and practise of Innovation? |
| A26947 | But to whom? |
| A26947 | But were not the Apostles General Officers, and so the Church united in General officers? |
| A26947 | But were the Bishops of all the Churches there? |
| A26947 | But what Tradition mean you? |
| A26947 | But what a loss are we here at? |
| A26947 | But what gather you hence? |
| A26947 | But what get they by this Hiding of themselves? |
| A26947 | But what if I can prove, that even the want of a due proposal is a punishment for their sin? |
| A26947 | But what if they find the Pope called the Archbishop of the Catholick Church, or the Universal Bishop? |
| A26947 | But what if this were granted? |
| A26947 | But what if we grant your conclusion, that[ else they can not be esteemed Protestants] what of that? |
| A26947 | But what is it that we are changeable in? |
| A26947 | But what is this to another Traditional word of God? |
| A26947 | But what is to be said to the pretence of the Necessity of a Judge? |
| A26947 | But what manner of men did H. T. imagine he had to deal with, when he puts off his Readers with such an answer as this? |
| A26947 | But what need I cite any more, when Dr. Cosin hath done it in a volume purposely? |
| A26947 | But what reason is there then that we may not have the same measure from them which they expect? |
| A26947 | But when the Papists come to the mention of such passages, what juglings do they use? |
| A26947 | But where then is the Certainty of succession? |
| A26947 | But wherein? |
| A26947 | But who first made them Articles of faith? |
| A26947 | But why is it that they must all needs explicitely hold the thirty nine Articles? |
| A26947 | But will they stand to the Validity of Proofs from Scripture? |
| A26947 | But will they then admit of Proofs from Reason? |
| A26947 | But yet Baronius thinks that these are not the same Books that Tertullian and Hierom speak against: and why so? |
| A26947 | But( say the Papists) you can allow Princes to be the Heads of the Church: why then not a Pope? |
| A26947 | But, what( say they) will you be of the same Church with Nestorians, Eutichians, and other Hereticks? |
| A26947 | By what Authority was she otherwise reproved? |
| A26947 | By what General Council was she ever condemned? |
| A26947 | By what Justice shall all the Catholick Church be obliged by the Decrees of such a General Council? |
| A26947 | Can he be a Christian or be saved that believeth not in one of these men? |
| A26947 | Can it be expected that this one man should condemn himself? |
| A26947 | Can we think by all our Arguments to make any matter plainer to a man then that Bread is Bread, when he seeth and eateth it? |
| A26947 | Can you tell us when, and by whom each error was introduced that corrupted the Churches mentioned in the Scripture? |
| A26947 | Can you tell us your selves, when many of your doctrines or practices sprung up? |
| A26947 | Casuists do, that are cited by the Jansenian in his Mysterie of Jesuitism? |
| A26947 | Church: and then whether the Catholick Church and the Roman are of equal extent? |
| A26947 | D. In the sixteenth Probleme page 127. he puts another Question, Whether the Law of Nature and Decalogue may be unknown without fault? |
| A26947 | Dare they think they are all damned? |
| A26947 | Dare you say that one of five hundred, of five thousand, doth explicitely believe all this? |
| A26947 | Demand of them whether it be any one whosoever that may Consecrate, or whether this high power be confined to certain hands? |
| A26947 | Did Peter many hundred years after his death? |
| A26947 | Did he think that we set so much by Luthers, or any mans writings, as by the Bible? |
| A26947 | Did not Christ by these words reprehend their seeking of a Supremacy? |
| A26947 | Did not the Councils at Constantinople condemn the Doctrine of the second Nicene Council for Image- worship, and the Council at Frankford do the like? |
| A26947 | Did not this mans heart tremble or smite him to write so horrid, so impudent a reproach against so many precious Saints of God? |
| A26947 | Did not your Pope approve of this Council, when Gregory the first did liken it with the other three to the four Gospels? |
| A26947 | Did this Council think that their Decrees were invalid, if the Pope approve them not? |
| A26947 | Did we pray or administer the Lords Supper before, and do we not so still? |
| A26947 | Did you not smile when you wrote these delusory Questions? |
| A26947 | Do I need to tell England of the many treacheries since the Reformation against our Princes? |
| A26947 | Do I need to tell you what the Council of Constance did? |
| A26947 | Do Papists murder poor Christians by the thousands, and yet not fide divina believe that it is their duty so to do? |
| A26947 | Do not your own differing Commentators, Schoolmen and Casuists( on one side at least) dispute voluminously against some Truths of Divine revelation? |
| A26947 | Do not your own writers confess this of a man that is Baptized many years after he had Faith and Charity? |
| A26947 | Do these men think us so sottish as to place our Religion in these Circumstances? |
| A26947 | Do they know our Religion better then we do? |
| A26947 | Do they not daily dispute in their Schools among themselves without a Judge? |
| A26947 | Do they think we would not as willingly know the truth as they? |

| A26947 | Do you not know that these very words were used to every Presbyter in our Ordination here in England? |
| A26947 | Do you not see that they make a meer nothing or mockery of General Councils, any further then they please the Pope? |

| A26947 | Let Raynerius be judge, that saith the Churches of Armenia and others planted by the Apostles were not subject to the Church of Rome? |
| A26947 | Look back on their Practises, and see what their Principles proved in the fruits? |
| A26947 | Look on their Principles, and see what an aspect they have on Christ, on the Catholick Church, and upon Princes? |

| A26947 | Reader, is it not plain English? |
| A26947 | Reader, is this Testimony from a Papist like the rest? |
| A26947 | Reader, wouldst thou be troubled with any more of these Relations? |
| A26947 | Say the Examiners, But what would you do if you were at Rome? |
| A26947 | Say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God; Are ye polluted after the manner of your fathers? |
| A26947 | Saying[ Quid tibi dimisit S. Apostolus? |
| A26947 | See here what''s become of the Popish faith? |
| A26947 | See now what''s become of the Popish Apostolical Successors among their Bishops? |

| A26947 | Such as I have saith he, that give I to thee: And what was that? |
| A26947 | Tell us what year, or by whom the change was made? |
| A26947 | Tell us when this Canon and Tradition was first violated by you, and by whom? |
| A26947 | The Author of the Image of both Churches maketh a long and subtile perswasive for Liberty of Conscience: But where would he have it? |
| A26947 | The Church is Christs subjects, and shall subjects make their own Laws? |
| A26947 | The Council which he cites for this, is but a Provincial Council in Spain in the fifth Age: and what''s this to Catholick succession? |
| A26947 | The Question or Objection which he undertook to answer was, Whether sense telling us that it is Bread after the Consecration be deceived? |
| A26947 | The Tradition of the Catholick Church? |
| A26947 | The story of that Infidel Prince is common, that being ready to go to the water to be baptized, stept back, and asked, Where are all my Ancestors now? |
| A26947 | The streams can not be perfectly sinless, till the fountain be so: and[ Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin? |
| A26947 | The whole have no need of the Physitian, but the sick: and have you no need of Christ to heal your soul? |
| A26947 | Their doctrine corrupteth almost all Morality: What need we fuller clearer proof, then the Jansenian hath given us in his Mysterie of Jesuitism? |
| A26947 | Their second is, that thred- bare Question[ Where was your Church before Luther? |
| A26947 | There is one Law- giver that is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that Judgest another?] |
| A26947 | There may be a Prorex, a Viceking: and why not then a Vicarious Head of the Catholick Church? |
| A26947 | They tell us that, All Hereticks do pretend to Scripture, and therefore this can not be the Test of our Religion? |
| A26947 | They tell you the Apostles were for them: but how know we that? |
| A26947 | This all Protestants that ever I spoke with are agreed in: And dare any Papist deny it? |
| A26947 | This is more then Protestants say, And yet will you quarrell? |
| A26947 | To endeavour to revive the stupified humanity and Reason of these men: and ask them, Is Religion the work of a man or of a beast? |
| A26947 | To what purpose should we speak to them that will not hear? |
| A26947 | Was I deeply silent that Grotius would have the causes taken away? |
| A26947 | Was it governed all that time, think you, by a General Council? |
| A26947 | Was it not the whole faith Essential to Christianity which they confest? |
| A26947 | Was there ever a greater rabble of Heresies then before ever a General Council was known? |
| A26947 | Was this by Protestants? |
| A26947 | We demand also, whether the whole holy Scripture be the word of God? |
| A26947 | We desire also to be informed by them, what is the use of the Churches Creed, and why they have used frequently to make confession of their faith? |
| A26947 | We must desire the Papists to tell us whether Christianity be any thing or nothing? |
| A26947 | We would know whether the matters that their Divines are disagreed in, be Revealed by God, or things unrevealed? |
| A26947 | Well I will you now hear whether the Papists or we be the greatest Changlings? |
| A26947 | Well, but at least may we not hope that they will stand to the Judgement of the Catholick Church? |
| A26947 | Well, but was there ever such a thing at all? |
| A26947 | Well: but what is my miscarriage? |
| A26947 | Well; but you have a third Question[ By what Authority was she otherwise reproved?] |

| A26947 | What if he did not? |
| A26947 | What if his Catalogue were true and proved, would it prove the Exclusion, that[ no other Church:] had a succession? |
| A26947 | What if many recover and live that eat not only Earth and Dirt, but Hemlock or Spear- wort, or other poysons; must I therefore eat them? |
| A26947 | What if one man use an hour- glass in preaching, and another use none? |
| A26947 | What if one read a Chapter with spectacles, and another without? |
| A26947 | What if those that are supposed to have that authority, shall be otherwise minded? |

| A26947 | What then was the face of the holy Roman Church? |
| A26947 | What word of God have they to prove such a Representative Council? |
| A26947 | What words of God or man are not capable of being misinterpreted? |
| A26947 | What would you have more Sirs? |
| A26947 | What would you have more, then such discoveries by themselves? |
| A26947 | What would you have truer or plainer? |
| A26947 | When I recite his very words? |
| A26947 | When all is thus overcome with Novelty, do you make any question whether any thing be new? |
| A26947 | When our faith and souls are preciouser things then so boldly to cast upon the trust of a few Delegates so to be chosen and employed? |
| A26947 | When the question is, Who shall be corporally punished as an Heretick? |
| A26947 | When took you up your Sabbaths fast, for which you have been condemned by a Council? |

| A26947 | Whose company did she leave? |
| A26947 | Why because the fourth age was of their mind; And how prove you that? |
| A26947 | Why by the testimony of the next age: and where is that testimony? |
| A26947 | Why doth not the Pope himself at least condemn these doctrines, if really he disown them? |

| A26947 | You may as well say, An Universal Civil Monarch over all the world is best; therefore so it must be: but when will you prove that? |
| A26947 | You say so, and they say otherwise: why should we believe you that are a smaller, partial and corrupted part? |
| A26947 | You''l say, because the Church or Scripture saith: This is my Body: and that there is no Bread? |
| A26947 | Your Agreement and Unity is with none but your own sect: and is this so great a matter to boast off? |
| A26947 | [ As your Fathers did, so do yet which of the Prophets have not your Fathers persecuted?] |
| A26947 | [ But say the Parliament, What think you? |
| A26947 | [ Seeing their General had approved the Book, and judged the things that are there written to be certain, whether they were of the same mind?] |

| A26947 | and another question Whether sense can infallibly discern Bread and Wine, and know whether they be there? |
| A26947 | and are not you as much disagreed about it as we? |
| A26947 | and as Rabshakah, to reproach the Israel of God? |
| A26947 | and commit ye whoredom after their abominations? |
| A26947 | and consequently what a Protestant is? |
| A26947 | and for what? |
| A26947 | and holdeth all that they call the Decrees of General Councils? |
| A26947 | and how is their power proved? |
| A26947 | and how the Greeks resented his fact? |
| A26947 | and how then shall Christians know what to obey? |
| A26947 | and if printing them be proof, their proof is as good: If it be not, what proof shall we have? |
| A26947 | and is not this ours? |
| A26947 | and is the Pope a Christ? |
| A26947 | and say, e. g.[ If Philippi, be a true Church, then England are no true Churches, If it be not, when did it cease to be a true Church?] |
| A26947 | and should you thus abuse it, and the souls of men? |
| A26947 | and still write books against one another without a Judge? |
| A26947 | and that it is long of their own sins that necessary truths do seem improbable to them? |
| A26947 | and that they ought themselves to seek after the truth? |

| A26947 | and what a return they made to your Church? |
| A26947 | and what death the Patriark dyed? |
| A26947 | and what is the Scripture, but the words ut signa, and the sense or matter ut res significata? |
| A26947 | and what meaneth the present persecution of them in France? |
| A26947 | and what reason have you rather to be of the Protestants, then of any other? |
| A26947 | and what should we desire and endeavour for the attaining it? |
| A26947 | and when is it that that which is imperfect will be done away, but when that which is perfect is come? |
| A26947 | and when was it? |
| A26947 | and when? |
| A26947 | and where be all those that dyed between the Resurrection of Christ and the appearing of Popery, or the prevailing of it in the world? |
| A26947 | and whether these twenty two, or forty one were all the Bishops of the world, or the hundreth part of them? |
| A26947 | and which of them is at the greater certainty, firmness, and immutability? |
| A26947 | and who first made it an Article of faith? |
| A26947 | and who made James Bishop of Jerusalem? |
| A26947 | and who shall be Judge whether they, or you be the Catholick Church? |
| A26947 | and whom did Timothy succeed? |
| A26947 | and whose company? |
| A26947 | and why may not any man say, I am Pope? |
| A26947 | and yet must not the Shovel or the Beesom be used once in an Age? |
| A26947 | are all these no body in your Church? |
| A26947 | as much as to say, you must be all united in him: but he saith not[ Is Cephas divided?] |
| A26947 | but Whether they are Unbelievers or Heathens or ignorant persons, by a willfull neglect of sufficiently proposed Truth, or not? |
| A26947 | but perhaps the distinction unsaith all again? |
| A26947 | but what low submissive language doth he use to secular Governors that were capable of overtopping him? |
| A26947 | condemned your Pope Marcellinus for Offering to Idols? |
| A26947 | dare you say that this was from the beginning? |
| A26947 | did Peter or Paul? |
| A26947 | did Peter? |
| A26947 | for so they call it; What? |
| A26947 | have they one Conscience at Rome, and another at Paris? |
| A26947 | how long have they sate? |
| A26947 | if there were then a Vicar General of Christ at Rome, that it never came into their mind to crave his decision or help, as such? |
| A26947 | no super fluous branch cut off? |
| A26947 | no weed pulled up? |
| A26947 | not of Pope Clement the eighth and the Romane Pontifical? |
| A26947 | not of that which is de fide, or consonant to it, and whose contrary is heresie, or savours of Heresies? |
| A26947 | not of the Army of School Divines before mentioned? |
| A26947 | not of the[ Communis sententia Theologorum:] the common judgement of Divines? |
| A26947 | or any text which six of them never expounded; or any text which they do not unanimously agree on? |
| A26947 | or are Papists in good sadness, that tell the world that none but the subjects of the Pope can be saved? |
| A26947 | or can you be no Heretick till then? |
| A26947 | or give the least hint of any such thing? |
| A26947 | or how long? |
| A26947 | or is this any part of the worship it self? |
| A26947 | or may kill both Judge and witnesses to avoid an unjust sentence? |
| A26947 | or mention any Pope among them whom the whole world was to take to be their Soveraign Head? |
| A26947 | or need we prove the Negative? |
| A26947 | or only in every Class ● s or lesser Synod? |
| A26947 | or only in every County, or Province? |
| A26947 | or rather frame them to the building of their Kingdom? |
| A26947 | or summoned to appear? |
| A26947 | or that the Church so holdeth? |
| A26947 | or that the Pope at least must be acknowledged and obeyed by every Christian soul that will be saved at the Antipodes? |
| A26947 | or those that were chosen by Councills? |
| A26947 | or was the Council at Laterane( another Representative Catholick Church) in a state of death for holding the Contrary? |
| A26947 | or what concord hath Christ with Belial? |
| A26947 | or whether those were Popes or not that were chosen by the People? |
| A26947 | or which be they? |
| A26947 | saith[ I pray you what room hath the Catholick Church now in the habitable world? |
| A26947 | seing it is their happiness to have such a Judge of Controversies to keep them all of a mind? |
| A26947 | shall all the errors of the Fathers be charged on the Catholick Church, or all your writers errors upon yours? |
| A26947 | so are many others as well as he; as all the Apostles were as well as Peter? |
| A26947 | so that if the very matter of your Councils be so humane and disordered, what is the Council composed of such? |
| A26947 | the Papall party, and the Councill party? |
| A26947 | to him, of their misery as if all were lost? |
| A26947 | to us, even in the Essential point of difference, about the Original and Title that Rome hath to its supremacy? |
| A26947 | we have changed none of the substance of worship: did we baptize before, and do we not so still? |
| A26947 | were such an one meet to live on the earth? |
| A26947 | what abundance of errors are in your Clementines, and other such writers owned by you? |

| A26947 | what would you say to such a fellow that should argue thus concerning other Churches, as these men do of Rome? |
| A26947 | when called? |
| A26947 | when in the mean they make so little use of it, and place so little confidence in it themselves, but uphold their unity by the Magistrates sword? |
| A26947 | where are we then? |
| A26947 | where is there ever a word here under this Argument to prove that exclusive part of his Minor? |
| A26947 | where? |
| A26947 | whether he died and rose again or not? |
| A26947 | whether it was no Pope Sergius the third that begot Pope John the twelfth of Marosia? |
| A26947 | whether it were not Pope Innocent of whom a Papist wrote this distich? |
| A26947 | who wouldst not have us indeed to do the work of secular Rulers, but by doing it to deprave( or marr) it; then which what can be more unhappy? |
| A26947 | why not as well to the Anabaptists, or other party, as to the Papists?] |
| A26947 | why then should he charge us with denying that which we retain, and publickly read in our Churches as the word of God? |
| A26947 | why[ Be not ye called Masters? |
| A26947 | will Christ set any on an Impossible work? |
| A26947 | will it follow that therefore we ought not to Assemble or administer the Sacrament any where but in Cities? |
| A26947 | will sin excuse sin? |
| A26947 | will you judge men before they are heard, or their cause known? |
| A26947 | with ignorant unlearned people, what may not such Deceivers do? |
| A26947 | would you be no better then you are? |
| A26947 | yea or ever one day since the Apostles? |
| A26947 | you knew the question is, Whether sense( and the intellect thereby) be infallible in judging Bread to be Bread when we see, feel and eat it? |

| A39566 | Again you had much need( had you not think you?) |
| A39566 | Again, I would ask what warrand they have for dipping, or baptizing garments more then the Papists have for baptizing bells? |

| A39566 | Do you know any thing against the particular infant of an heathen? |
| A39566 | Doth not Philip to one that askt him this question, why may I not be baptized? |
| A39566 | Easter, Christmas, Whitsunday,& c. didst not thou O Presbyter? |
| A39566 | Fifthly, any where viz: at home or abroad, in Inns or other places, as occasion is, but onely or for the most part in your great stone houses? |
| A39566 | Fiftly, if as to the time of those two services, the question be askt Quando? |
| A39566 | First do you conclude that all the children of believing parents have it now? |
| A39566 | First which way come your natural seed, you being but Gentiles in the flesh, to be the seed of Abraham? |
| A39566 | First, Risum teneatis amici? |
| A39566 | First, Si aliquid quare non quicquid? |
| A39566 | First, if we ask( as de subjecto) this question quis? |
| A39566 | First, is it so that the command to circumcise infants is vertually a command to us to baptize them? |
| A39566 | For First, is there no Medium between being a reprobate, and a present having the holy spirit? |
| A39566 | Fourthly, if, as to the quality, special properties, uses, ends and offices of these two dispensations, the question be asked in quale quid? |
| A39566 | Go teach all Nations baptizing them, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I command you, and now why tarriest thou? |
| A39566 | God forbid: know ye not that every one that''s baptized into Christ, is baptized into his death? |
| A39566 | Good Lord how is the practise of the truth made a reproach unto thy people, and a derision dayly? |
| A39566 | Good Sirs, what mean you by this? |
| A39566 | He answers, the commission being for all Nations disciples were made in all Countreys; how soone saith he came the word to this Nation? |
| A39566 | Here reason demands of you why after baptism you admit not infants to the supper? |
| A39566 | Holland, Germany,& c. and bring the word unto us, that we may hear it and do it? |
| A39566 | How can a man escape choaking Sirs, if he be put and kept under the water? |
| A39566 | How do those men and women that are baptized at years make it appear to those that baptize them, that they have faith and the holy spirit? |
| A39566 | How often shall I adjure you the next time you write to write no more then truth at least in matter of fact? |
| A39566 | How shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? |
| A39566 | How you gather from these places a dipping of the whole man over head and under water? |
| A39566 | How? |
| A39566 | I am sure it was a custome before we were born; how shall our children come to have names, if they be not Christned? |
| A39566 | I answer how many and in how short a time does the man mean? |
| A39566 | I answer, who doubts of that? |
| A39566 | I beseech you Sirs, upon what grounds? |
| A39566 | I demand therefore yet once again, what seed of Abraham your infants are, in that thereupon you undertake( as so) to baptize them? |
| A39566 | I pray Sirs, what''s become of the odd five and a half? |
| A39566 | I reply thus, were not Abraham, Isaac and Iacob their fleshly fathers? |
| A39566 | I say what a bald way of arguing is this? |
| A39566 | I wonder who baptized Iohn the Baptist, that was the greatest administrator that ever was? |
| A39566 | I wonder who those are? |
| A39566 | I would know with these new dippers saith Mr. Cook, whether the parties to be doused and dipped may be baptized in a garment, or no? |
| A39566 | I''le saie it again that you may consider it, for sure you did not consider what you said when you said it, what children of day old? |
| A39566 | Iesus Christ is in you except ye be Reprobates? |
| A39566 | If any should ask this question, what hinders why I may not eat the supper? |
| A39566 | If it be further askt, how faith is bread in them? |
| A39566 | If it be inquired how faith can be said to be in them without their consent? |
| A39566 | If it was so? |
| A39566 | If under the Law, why not under the Gospel? |
| A39566 | If you will have any thing holy with that Ceremonial holiness now, why not every thing that then was so? |
| A39566 | Impertinency? |
| A39566 | Is it not the work of the spirit to infuse faith? |
| A39566 | Is it so Sirs, that the spirit is not tyed to work by means in little children, in the same cases, wherein he works by means in men, and women? |
| A39566 | Is not faith a work as well as repentance, and the rest? |
| A39566 | Is that Scripture think you intended to infants? |
| A39566 | It makes them count the blood of the Covenant an unholy thing, for if it be holy, what need they repeat it? |
| A39566 | It s own name? |
| A39566 | Just so Sirs, and not a jot otherwise? |
| A39566 | Let them gain what they can, whom can they gain? |
| A39566 | Let us search, and try, and turn, was there ever any confession of sin without it? |
| A39566 | Moreover if the Apostles did lay on hands at years, though Christ in infancy ▪ what if Christ had baptized those infants in infancy also? |
| A39566 | Mothers, as well as by the hands of the Pries ● s onely? |
| A39566 | Must they not go down to the water( saith he) if they would use it? |
| A39566 | No Sirs? |
| A39566 | No Sirs? |
| A39566 | No certainly, And why not? |
| A39566 | No? |
| A39566 | No? |
| A39566 | Nothing more ordinary then to have words out of their prime signification? |
| A39566 | Now if it be the sincerity that is looked after, who knoweth what day or year the child began to be sincere in his profession? |
| A39566 | O ye house of Levi is the spirit of the Lord thus streitned? |
| A39566 | Quis? |
| A39566 | Reason say you? |
| A39566 | Rivers, Iordan, Enon, many waters, and why? |
| A39566 | Secondly be kept under water to signifie his burial? |
| A39566 | Secondly kept under water to signify his burial? |
| A39566 | Secondly why do you, or how can you sign them as heirs of the Gospel promise so simply upon that account only? |
| A39566 | Secondly( Risum teneatis amici?) |
| A39566 | Secondly, Si aliqualitèr, quarè non aequalitèr? |
| A39566 | Secondly, all male servants upon the masters single faith, as well as male children on the fathers? |
| A39566 | Secondly, are you sure they were infants of believers of whom Christ saies, whoever offends one of these little ones that believe in me? |
| A39566 | Secondly, do you know so precisely which infants are Elect, and which Reprobate, as to take upon you to distinguish them by baptism? |
| A39566 | Secondly, how doth it appear at all that godly and believing parents children then had faith more usually then children of ungodly parents? |
| A39566 | Secondly, how far forth do they make it appear to you? |
| A39566 | Secondly, if( as to the nature, matter and essential form or being of the Rites themselves) we ask the question quid? |
| A39566 | Secondly, let me ask you, is Gods witness, Gods testimony true, or is it false? |
| A39566 | Secondly, what are these littles to the lump? |
| A39566 | Secondly, when had they it begotten in them? |
| A39566 | Secondly, whereas t is askt what persons are to say or do,( at the administration of laying hands) that they may be found faithful in that point? |
| A39566 | Seventhly, if( as to the account and warrant) it be demanded Cur? |
| A39566 | Si aliquando quare non nunc? |
| A39566 | Sirs where is the blessedness you speak of? |
| A39566 | Sirs, let me ask you two questions, first are you sure these are infants indeed? |
| A39566 | Sirs, what children of the Jews had faith in their infancy witnessed by Circumcision, were they the children of the believing or unbelieving Jews? |
| A39566 | Sirs, what pretty intricate blind bo- beep Divinity is this of yours? |
| A39566 | Sixthly, if, as to the administrator, it be ask quibus auxiliis? |
| A39566 | Some who are those I trow? |
| A39566 | That the Covenant of grace is for substance not two but in all ages one and the same within it self who denies? |
| A39566 | There may he washings though, and dippings too, but what needs such a totall dipping as you use? |
| A39566 | Therefore S ● rs, how hath Satan bewitched you that you can not believe and obey the truth? |
| A39566 | They lose it again when they come to more years, else why are they taught the element of faith? |
| A39566 | Thirdly if, as to the place where, we ask the question ubi? |
| A39566 | Thirdly, is it any more evident to you that all believers infants are taught of God, then t is that unbelievers infants are taught by him? |
| A39566 | Thirdly, on the eighth day onely, and neither sooner nor later, nor one day before it nor behind it? |
| A39566 | Thirdly, was Circumcision Gods witness, yea Gods seal to assure men of thus much, that those children to whom it was set had faith? |
| A39566 | Thirdly, what judgement do you passe upon believers infants to be the subjects of baptism, rather then other infants? |
| A39566 | This is aliud a negato; a plain absurd a berration from the question, which is not whether it be a sin ordinarily to dip naked or no? |
| A39566 | Thou tellest us, Suppose the Saints and churches ought to have held fast their administration of ordinances to this day, yet what of that? |
| A39566 | To those without? |
| A39566 | To which I reply, saith he, where is your Scripture for that? |
| A39566 | Totally drowned? |
| A39566 | Unless they be baptized in their infancy? |
| A39566 | Was not that of Paul spoken of man onely at years? |
| A39566 | Well then they were broken off: but why? |
| A39566 | Well what if it was so in the primitive times, that total dipping was the custome, must it therefore needs be so now? |
| A39566 | What Infants of a day old? |
| A39566 | What Sirs is the Gospel, the plain simple gospel, such a maeander as this? |
| A39566 | What a strange conceit is this? |
| A39566 | What again? |
| A39566 | What again? |
| A39566 | What again? |
| A39566 | What an egregious untruth is there? |
| A39566 | What force therefore is in this Argument to conclude against the truth of our way? |
| A39566 | What frivolous quibling is all this? |
| A39566 | What is that Analogy and Agreement which is between the sign and the thing signifyed in baptism? |
| A39566 | What is the result of this discourse, to forbid all disputation with HHHim? |
| A39566 | What is this to the present question and position concerning no more inclinablenesse to holy actions in children of Christians, then of infidels? |
| A39566 | What pretty Checker work is there in your judgements about one and the same thing? |
| A39566 | What prety Gim- cracks are here? |
| A39566 | What quarrels and jarres between the Fryers of several orders? |
| A39566 | What saith he if we could not prove that the English Church was before Luther, Must it needs follow that the doctrine we hold is untrue? |
| A39566 | What still Sirs? |
| A39566 | What then? |
| A39566 | Where should this bath be prepared? |
| A39566 | Where was your Church before Luther? |
| A39566 | Whether infants were the true subject? |
| A39566 | Whether it be just to load them that still stick to the truth, with the blame of all their blasphemies that go off from it? |
| A39566 | Whether sprinkling were the true manner of baptizing? |
| A39566 | Whether their profession, since it is possible they may lie, can make it appear infallibly? |
| A39566 | Which of all these three are to be found in your aspersion? |
| A39566 | Who sees not the weaknesse, the wretchednesse of this consequence? |
| A39566 | Why then should not children under the Gospel receive baptism, which the Adversaries confess to be the Seal of the Gospel- Covenant? |
| A39566 | Yea Sirs? |
| A39566 | Yea Sirs? |
| A39566 | Yea say you so? |
| A39566 | Yea surely Sirs, why not? |
| A39566 | above all men, who so strenuously contends that by the word Kingdoms of this world is meant not in part only, but the whole kingdom? |
| A39566 | all the dying infants of unbelievers? |
| A39566 | all your skill in Physiogmony can never find it: or can you argue ad negationem habitus, to no holiness in an infidels infant more then in anothers? |
| A39566 | and I said what shall I do Lord? |
| A39566 | and also concerning a people, that were already baptized with the spirit, asks who can forbid water why these may not be baptized? |
| A39566 | and also to what purpose did she perform it? |
| A39566 | and are not soules which are all equall in their creation the subject of it? |
| A39566 | and as ordinarily believers infants( when they come to years I mean) prove reprobates? |
| A39566 | and doth not that imply that else he might not? |
| A39566 | and doth not this evince as much for women? |
| A39566 | and have not works,& c. whereby onely faith is proved to be true indeed as it is professed, can that faith save him? |
| A39566 | and how can they be sent to preach to infants that understand not what is said? |
| A39566 | and how can they hear without a preacher? |
| A39566 | and how can they preach except they be sent? |
| A39566 | and how hear without a Preacher? |
| A39566 | and how much more the losse of Christ himself? |
| A39566 | and how much more then ours? |
| A39566 | and if no analogie why are we said sacramentally in baptism to be buried, and raised? |
| A39566 | and if not, why not be satisfied that it was preacht by some at least of Christs Apostles to all baptized believers? |
| A39566 | and if so, then must not this unbelieving parent being a Root, have the same kind of holiness the child hath? |
| A39566 | and if so, why he blames us more then himself, that, do what we can, so many run to ruin? |
| A39566 | and if you do, is this habit innat ● s, acquisitus or infusus, by birth, or begotten in them by frequent acts of holiness, or infused from above? |
| A39566 | and is it the consequent that the children of believing parents have it now? |
| A39566 | and is not swilling under water a more effectuall way of washing and clensing then sprinkling? |
| A39566 | and is that seal of his firm to, i. e, so sure that it can not fail? |
| A39566 | and row why tarriest thou? |
| A39566 | and so upwards till we come thither, are you able if we ask you who sprinkled you? |
| A39566 | and such judgement is as due to one of these as to the other? |
| A39566 | and such like how little do these look each like the other? |
| A39566 | and suppose liberal and bountiful maintenance, and rich Revenues to be the chief corner stone in their church work? |
| A39566 | and that a similitude of Christs death, burial and rising again, to be represented by dipping in water, is signified here? |
| A39566 | and the trembling and astonished said Lord what wilt thou have me to do? |
| A39566 | and though remote ones, yet were they not their true fathers after the flesh still as much as ever? |
| A39566 | and to the company at Cornelius''s house, and Ananias in his to Paul, when he quaeried what he should do? |
| A39566 | and what need at all that the Committees be so cumbered with the care of such affairs? |
| A39566 | and whether because they all desired to go to heaven, therefore they were at heaven? |
| A39566 | and who hath brought up these? |
| A39566 | and who him? |
| A39566 | and who him? |
| A39566 | and who him? |
| A39566 | and who him? |
| A39566 | and who him? |
| A39566 | and who him? |
| A39566 | and who him? |
| A39566 | and who ordained those that ordained you? |
| A39566 | and who them? |
| A39566 | and who them? |
| A39566 | and who them? |
| A39566 | and why not male servants though unbelieving Moores, Turks or Pagans if of believing masters? |
| A39566 | and why should not this administration of the covenant in outward ordinances be after the manner of that of old? |
| A39566 | and why then? |
| A39566 | and yet do these include and comprize infants as much as men at years? |
| A39566 | and you Presbyterians where was your Church before Calvin? |
| A39566 | are infants of a day old capable of Baptism, that can not so much as be instructed in principles much less be begotten to the true Religion? |
| A39566 | are not repentance from dead works, and belief towards God with all the heart, and confession of sins, and calling on God such kind of matters? |
| A39566 | are not these priviledges belonging to men, why then( if yours and Mr Marshalls assertion be true) not to infants as well as men? |
| A39566 | are the seed of true believers true converts mostly by birth? |
| A39566 | are these your doings? |
| A39566 | are they not among the number of souls capable to eat, every one pro suo modulo, according to the measure of his eating and digestion? |
| A39566 | are they not mercies, administrations, merciful administrations of God, extended to all nations? |
| A39566 | are they shut out of the kingdom of heaven? |
| A39566 | are we more tied to follow his example in that, then in the dispensation of laying on of hands? |
| A39566 | are you able to assign who began our way of baptism first of all in the world, unlesse you begin as high as Iohn the baptist? |
| A39566 | are you not then condemned out of your own mouths to perpetual abhorring? |
| A39566 | are your Pastors also such Idol shepheards, as it may be supposed now and then will leave their flocks for any other imployment? |
| A39566 | as I am sure we can not warrantably, because not congruously, do otherwise? |
| A39566 | baptism for the Hot Countryes; and Rantism for the Cold? |
| A39566 | baptism, may stand in some proportion to its signatum, as well as the other i. e. circumcision? |
| A39566 | because he had told them above that there should come one, that should delude many with lyes? |
| A39566 | because the kingdomes of this world are, or else shall be the kindomes of God and Christ? |
| A39566 | behold I was left alone, these where have they been? |
| A39566 | besides what more to believers than unbelievers infants? |
| A39566 | both branded for reprobates? |
| A39566 | both which men direct their different doctrines to Mr. Tombes in order to his direction: but how shall that man be resolved? |
| A39566 | but if they had none in infancy, then how can you deny but that they had none? |
| A39566 | but may they thereupon be called disciples, and be baptized? |
| A39566 | but no marvel if the Cat winckt, when both her eyes were out? |
| A39566 | but what of that? |
| A39566 | but what then? |
| A39566 | but whether Rome be that universal Church or no that can not erre? |
| A39566 | but whether we ordinarily use that kind of dipping? |
| A39566 | by believing: nay the spiritual seed: quid ni? |
| A39566 | by fleshly descent? |
| A39566 | by whose hands these ordinances are to be administred? |
| A39566 | can some scores of well meaning Priests give the denomination of an holy PPriesthood, godly Ministry to those legions of them that lie in wickednesse? |
| A39566 | commission plain enough to baptism infants, where all nations are bid to be discipled and baptized? |
| A39566 | could that water that toucht his legs while he waded, be more mischievous to him, then the water that washed the blood of his stripes? |
| A39566 | creed that God hath promised to be merciful to Godly mens seed in general, in contradistinction to the seed of the wicked? |
| A39566 | cu ●? |
| A39566 | cui nativitas ei facultas auctrix, nutrix; et quare non nutrimentum? |
| A39566 | denies it, with whom how often is it exprest that baptism is the first visible entrance into it? |
| A39566 | did he build them upon one part of the foundation, and not on the other part? |
| A39566 | did he constitute them partly upon it, and partly beside it? |
| A39566 | did he no more then sprinkle, or pour a few drops of water on him? |
| A39566 | did not some of you Masters, Provosts, Fellowes of Colledges and such like? |
| A39566 | did not ye O Presbyterians? |
| A39566 | did you press them to death i th''Press, or lose them i th''Ashes, whetein you had a design to have smothered it all? |
| A39566 | do we not in common loquution say the same, while we say sprinkled in a font, or in a Bason? |
| A39566 | do you believe in God the Father, and Christ& c. and will you be baptized in this faith? |
| A39566 | dost thou forsake the divel? |
| A39566 | doth it prove baptism to be the cause of that grosness that often followes, when a person is baptized? |
| A39566 | doth our denying baptism to an infant before he dies send him to hell sooner then your delaying it till he be dead? |
| A39566 | doth that phrase( I say) they which be of faith signifie believers infants? |
| A39566 | drowning, racking, fleaing, stabbing, tearing with hot pincers, and( to use his own phrase) the severest punishments they could devise? |
| A39566 | first I wonder how they came by it, sith the word saies faith comes by hearing, and how can there be believing on him of whom they have not heard? |
| A39566 | for 42. months, or a 1260 years, as theirs was for 70 years? |
| A39566 | for either he was baptized surely, or else he was not, if he was ever baptized at all, who baptized him? |
| A39566 | for how does he speak, and that out of these Scriptures we are upon, that we ought thus to be baptized? |
| A39566 | for none denies but that it hath, but whether the Pope be at all that head? |
| A39566 | for the living to the dead? |
| A39566 | for what else can they pretend? |
| A39566 | for when he queries who can? |
| A39566 | from the Gospel to a law long since ended? |
| A39566 | from the living to the dead? |
| A39566 | from the substance to the shadow? |
| A39566 | from the truth to the type? |
| A39566 | have any of the Rulers of the Pharisees believed on him? |
| A39566 | have not you the CCClergy? |
| A39566 | have ye received the holy spirit since ye believed? |
| A39566 | he to infants, and they onely to persons past infancy? |
| A39566 | how are thy depths, even thy downright deliveries of soul saving truth in plainess of speech by the mouths of stammerers stark duncery to them? |
| A39566 | how can Turks and Pagans infants be saved? |
| A39566 | how can they be saved if they die unchristned? |
| A39566 | how can they believe on him of whom they have not heard? |
| A39566 | how crookedly close do you keep to your own coppy? |
| A39566 | how different are they? |
| A39566 | how else could they have known it? |
| A39566 | how far do they differ? |
| A39566 | how far do you fall short of the Jewes in this also? |
| A39566 | how farre is he from it as now he stands, whilst he saies plainly he will have no baptism? |
| A39566 | how greatly doth your manner of baptism differ from it? |
| A39566 | how hear without a preacher? |
| A39566 | how is it possible that it should not signifie washing so long as it signifies dipping, dipping being no other then a kind of washing? |
| A39566 | how miserably do you your selves misse of hitting right with it here too? |
| A39566 | how pretily have you put these terms[ practised by the Church of God] into the very question, and that too as it stands stated beeween us? |
| A39566 | how so? |
| A39566 | how the bells began to play their parts against our preaching, when you had done, by the appointment of who knows not whom? |
| A39566 | how then came it to pass that the most of the Iews and their children sucessively in all generations had not faith when they came to years? |
| A39566 | how then dare you aver so peremptorily, so universally that every administration that extendeth to all nations, belongeth to infants as well as men? |
| A39566 | how those men and women whom I had baptized did make it appear that they had faith, and the holy spirit? |
| A39566 | how will not a poor, marred, mocked, misreputed Saviour, and gospel in any wise down with them? |
| A39566 | how will you ever be able to make that good? |
| A39566 | i. e. the supper as well as baptism? |
| A39566 | i. e. to ungodly mens children as well as to those of godly parents? |
| A39566 | if no exemption from a hotter service, why from a colder for the lifes sake? |
| A39566 | if not where is then the analogie? |
| A39566 | if so, how is it that when they are grown, the children of unbelievers have holiness very often, when as oft the other prove wicked, and have not? |
| A39566 | if so, why not to repentance, and self denial also? |
| A39566 | if unholy, how do they prophane it? |
| A39566 | if unholy, in so saying oh how do you prophane it? |
| A39566 | if you must keep so strictly to one and the same subject in circumcision, and baptism, why do you alter the subject your selves? |
| A39566 | if you will needs Iudaize at all, why not in all as well as the Pope? |
| A39566 | if you will needs utter falsehood in matter of Doctrine? |
| A39566 | in as much as there s that required in order to baptisme which infants can no more do, then they can do what''s required to the supper? |
| A39566 | in the womb? |
| A39566 | in vvhich of all these places dare they allovv us the prime signification of the vvord? |
| A39566 | infallibly? |
| A39566 | is Christ thus divided? |
| A39566 | is he not as holy as the child is, and so as capable of being baptized, and in covenant thereby? |
| A39566 | is it not very fit therefore that they should still be used, the Church being yet under age? |
| A39566 | is meant of more layings on of hands, when it expresly speaks but of one? |
| A39566 | is not innocency in the whole state of infants, even in unbelievers infants as much to the full as in the other? |
| A39566 | is not the story of Naamans washing himself seven times in Iordan full enough to our use, because there is no mention of his putting off and on? |
| A39566 | is not this the Carpenter?) |
| A39566 | is plain, and now why tarriest thou? |
| A39566 | is their any worldly imployment to which the Pastors office must give way so to as to cease for its sake, when it comes in place? |
| A39566 | is there any more Specimen or shew of holiness in them then in these? |
| A39566 | is there any promise of God, whereby he stands ingaged to infuse holiness into these infants in infancy, when he will not infuse it into the other? |
| A39566 | is there any such manglements as these to be found there? |
| A39566 | little ones literally taken in the sixth? |
| A39566 | meaning trow, that therfore it doth not go before it? |
| A39566 | men of strife and contention to the whole earth? |
| A39566 | must not all people search it? |
| A39566 | no: who doub ● s of that? |
| A39566 | not one scruple? |
| A39566 | now therefore Quid rides? |
| A39566 | on baptized believers be ever the more excluded, or the more incuded rather in all likelyhood among the rest? |
| A39566 | or I would I knew what you mean by constitution? |
| A39566 | or any other part*? |
| A39566 | or are all infants of unbelievers reprobate, so that you may accordingly denominate them for such by whole sale as you do? |
| A39566 | or believing infants? |
| A39566 | or but probably? |
| A39566 | or have you not rather taken it for granted from me whether I will, or no? |
| A39566 | or if after birth, on what day on the 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, or 8th? |
| A39566 | or if there were no more then this half an hours reading, how is it you give so large an Account of it here? |
| A39566 | or if they can not, can not your Churches see to them a little what they lack? |
| A39566 | or in baptism ask, how the baptizer must handle the person baptized, and where he must take hold on him, when he dips him? |
| A39566 | or in token of his resurrection to a new life? |
| A39566 | or is aspersion an action as answerable to a burial and resurrection, and painting it out as lively as submersion and emersion do? |
| A39566 | or may the spirit blow no where, but where thou listest? |
| A39566 | or must a man bring you another, and that a better kind of faith to the one, than he had need care for toward the other? |
| A39566 | or must they search and find no more truth in it then thou findest? |
| A39566 | or not? |
| A39566 | or rather by who knows not whom? |
| A39566 | or shall the doctrine of Rome be ever the truer because of Antiquitie only? |
| A39566 | or that of certainty? |
| A39566 | or the Major part of it? |
| A39566 | or those thousands Peter promised the holy spirit to, were they all reprobates, because they yet had it not, when he spake to them? |
| A39566 | or to prove believers infants to have it exclusively of the infants of unbelievers? |
| A39566 | or wast thou set to keep people out from it under lock and key? |
| A39566 | or what is it you would have? |
| A39566 | or whether Christ hath not more water baptismes then one? |
| A39566 | or whether dipping in Rivers be so necessary to baptism, that none are accounted baptized, but those that are dipped after such a manner? |
| A39566 | qualis? |
| A39566 | quando? |
| A39566 | quibus auxiliis? |
| A39566 | quid? |
| A39566 | return this answer, if thou believest with all thy heart thou mayest? |
| A39566 | saiest where is the promise of his coming? |
| A39566 | secondly, whether they ever had it if you ask whether they ever had any? |
| A39566 | shall the Parliament and their Committees never have their liberty to attend onely, and perfectly the true liberties of the subject? |
| A39566 | shall we impute that fault to his being baptized? |
| A39566 | shall we think that Peter taught the principles of the doctrine of Christ, all which he was to lay as one foundation among them, by the halves? |
| A39566 | shall we think that all Christs ministers descend lineally from the loines of Antichrist? |
| A39566 | shall we think that so many learned Orthodox divines would practise it if it were not the truth? |
| A39566 | shall we( saith he, for so his sense is) continue in sin, i. e. we that are dead to it, and have been all baptized into Christ in token of it? |
| A39566 | sith the cause of all such sacramental locution is because the sacraments are( as Austin saies) pictures of the things signified in them? |
| A39566 | so that by the same Reason that we deny one of these to be in them, it may be therefore denied that they have the other? |
| A39566 | some people believe therefore all must be baptized, Secondly, had the Jews children faith? |
| A39566 | tells us that some branches only were broken off, therfore not infants, It is true all were not broken off, and why? |
| A39566 | that have bought it for money? |
| A39566 | that have have gotten it by brawling in the law? |
| A39566 | that is strange: what parts of Christendome have you lived, or do you live in? |
| A39566 | that is worse then all the rest: but I wonder what is if that be not the prime? |
| A39566 | that it is a miracle to be dipped and not destroyed, then what a strange man is he to say so? |
| A39566 | that of charity? |
| A39566 | that there is now no iniquity at all? |
| A39566 | that they were all the children of God by faith in Christ: and how doth he prove it that they were so? |
| A39566 | that words are oft used out of their prime significations?) |
| A39566 | the Apostles themselves? |
| A39566 | the Swine ran into the sea, were they not then in it? |
| A39566 | the duty and ordinance of baptism? |
| A39566 | the first Gospel ministry bap ● ized, were in immediately before they baptized them? |
| A39566 | the visible church of Christ or the visible kingdome of the devil believers infants are visibly in before baptism? |
| A39566 | the way of faith? |
| A39566 | then Sirs why do you not keep close to your command, and by Analogy baptize precisely on the eighth day, but on any other as you see good? |
| A39566 | then pray how doth the promise of the Gospel appear to belong one jot more to believers children, then to unbelievers? |
| A39566 | therefore is it not rather think you a Civil and Matrimonial then an Ecclesiastical,& faederall sanctity? |
| A39566 | therefore why should we not sorrow as those without hope? |
| A39566 | they are the children of believers? |
| A39566 | they went down both of them unto the water, both Philip and the Eunuch? |
| A39566 | till they visibly appear to have them, yet under the Law they were in covenant, and inchurched for all that and why? |
| A39566 | to come out of Babilon, and be separate? |
| A39566 | to testifie to the world that they had faith? |
| A39566 | to the Jaylor asking Sirs what must I do to be saved? |
| A39566 | to the parents upon their own faith, to the children upon the parents faith? |
| A39566 | to what purpose doth he with such prolixity proceed to prove, what no sober minded man of either party doth deny? |
| A39566 | ubi? |
| A39566 | unto what then were you baptized( saies he) if at least you have not so much as heard of it? |
| A39566 | was he sprinkled into Iordan? |
| A39566 | was it set to Ishmael as Gods witness that Ishmael had faith? |
| A39566 | watchman what of the night? |
| A39566 | we have Abraham to our father? |
| A39566 | were there ever such contradictions as these committed to paper before? |
| A39566 | were they not the seed of Abraham still, that stood without faith in the old visible Church to the very end of it? |
| A39566 | what Commission have any to baptize in that manner? |
| A39566 | what a logical lump of artificial non- sense? |
| A39566 | what a pittious plaister is here applied to men wounded in conscience, and smarting under the direfull apprehensions of Gods wrath? |

| A39566 | what''s this I trow toward the eviction of the other? |
| A39566 | when circumcision, and when your baptism are by right to be dispensed? |
| A39566 | when he visiteth what will you answer? |
| A39566 | where circumcision was dispensed, and where your selves say baptism ought to be? |

| A39566 | whether the ordinances of Christ, that were in use of old, are of right to be practised still? |
| A39566 | whether they have it? |
| A39566 | which is as much as to say, whether another water baptism may not serve the turn as well? |

| A39566 | why baptize you any females, when God commanded males onely to be circumcised? |
| A39566 | why else did they both do and desire it? |
| A39566 | why even this, if the whole kingdom be the Lords, then infants must unavoidably be members of Christs Church, and if we ask how comes this about? |
| A39566 | why more ad negationem baptismi? |
| A39566 | why taught in order to the receiving it? |
| A39566 | why then do you say sometimes again, that from a holiness which is in both they are co- contributers of holiness to the Infant? |
| A39566 | why then not exempted from that for the sake of their incapacity, as well as from other things? |
| A39566 | why then( if that be the ground you will needs go upon) must not these be baptized as well as the other? |
| A39566 | why they circumcised infants, and why you baptize them? |
| A39566 | will it follow that we must follow their fashion in that particular? |
| A39566 | will it not appear much more plainly then, that infants are not capable to be made disciples? |
| A39566 | will it therefore follow that it is to be omitted, and not made use of at all? |
| A39566 | will they fortify themselves against our Orthodox Divines? |
| A39566 | will they make an end in a day to reform, which is many a years work for a learned Synod? |
| A39566 | will they revive the stones, even the dead bones of old Hereticks, out of the heaps of rubbish that are burnt? |

| A39566 | will you bind him to all the infants in Christendome, and barr him from doing any other infants in the world? |
| A39566 | will you gather Churches of Christ out of Churches of Christ what rule have you for that? |
| A39566 | wilt thou be baptized& c? |
| A39566 | would not this grate harshly upon charitable ears? |
| A39566 | would the water come up to them in the Chariot any sooner for sprinkling then for dipping? |
| A39566 | would the water have come up to them in the chariot any sooner for sprinkling then for dipping? |
| A39566 | yea is not preaching an administration to every creature that extends not to infants? |
| A39566 | yea who so blind as those that seem to themselves to be the onely Seers both for themselves and others? |
| A39566 | yea, when he asks who hath required this at your hands? |
| A39566 | yes no doubt, why then were they not broken off before? |
| A39566 | yet is it reckoned by you exclusive of infants, and why not Philips also? |
| A39566 | you know your people are not all in the faith, why else do you preach to them as prophane to the end you may convert them thereunto? |
| A39566 | your trivial new way, or rather no way of baptism? |
| A39566 | your very selves acknowledge you can not: if not, why more I wonder ad negationem spiritus? |
| A27006 | & 15. that were the stricter about meats, and drinks, and days? |
| A27006 | ( 3) What bosom Friend did he ever spare wherein he sound him reprehensible? |
| A27006 | ( And what then did the Primitive Church for Three hundred Years?) |
| A27006 | ( Though I suppose rather it is otherwise) yet while Men do for peace silence their opinions, who knows what they are? |
| A27006 | ( as the Controversie between Basil and the Church of Neocaesarea shews,& c.) And why then may not as much be granted now in England? |
| A27006 | ( e) But what if they be suspended, or silenced by Authority? |
| A27006 | ( how glad would the Papists be if you could prevail but with a few that most molest them?) |
| A27006 | ( i)[ Why not all as well as the greatest part? |
| A27006 | ( or second either, or many after?) |
| A27006 | 10. and dare you reject a strong Believer upon a doubtful Disputation? |
| A27006 | 12. of the Explanation? |
| A27006 | 12. or these that Acts 20. prayed at an Oratory, nor the Water destroy the Church? |
| A27006 | 14. and 15, and not believe that it bindeth the Church- Rulers as well as the People? |
| A27006 | 18 you reslove to censure the scandalous Sinner upon such an offer of Consent as carrieth in the Front of it a plain Refusal of your Discipline? |
| A27006 | 25. the reward is adjudged to men on the account of their good works? |
| A27006 | 3. Who is it that hath sufficient Light? |
| A27006 | 4. Who they be that in England are to exercise this Discipline? |
| A27006 | 5. Who can say that the King had an ill End in taking it? |
| A27006 | A heinous Crime? |
| A27006 | According to your Councils will you be judged of God? |
| A27006 | After the Answer to[ What is thy Duty towards God?] |
| A27006 | Also, what if Saul gives Commission to his Armour bearer to kill him? |
| A27006 | Am I now bound to obey my Parents, or the Law, and Canon? |
| A27006 | And I add, hath not Scotland kept out Sects without our Conformity, more effectually than Conformity here kept them out? |
| A27006 | And I pray you, are not all the Indians of America, that never heard of Christ, the Members of your Church? |
| A27006 | And I scarce approve of your comparative Terms of the Centuries as bad as this is? |
| A27006 | And Liberius subscribed to the Arrians, and against Athenasius? |
| A27006 | And Ministers are not so impudent as to turn Beggers without Shame? |
| A27006 | And after that[ What was promised for you in Baptism?] |
| A27006 | And against which of these should you more carefully shut the Door? |
| A27006 | And all must avoid us; and how shall we avoid our selves, who sin in all we do? |
| A27006 | And are these Instances to prove what you assert? |
| A27006 | And are they not as like to be Impartial, who suffer as much by their Judgment, as you gain by yours? |
| A27006 | And are you sure that all these poor troubled timerous Souls are worthy of utter ruine as Contemners of Authority? |
| A27006 | And as to my suffering such things to be exposed to publick view; can any Man take it ill, that I give him what Mr. Baxter left with me to this end? |
| A27006 | And as to the second Question,[ What this Discipline is?] |
| A27006 | And by force and stretching, what words may not be well interpreted? |
| A27006 | And can I believe that it was none of the Imposers Intention by the Oath, to provide against any of these Opinions? |
| A27006 | And can such Churches be of any known Consistency or Concord? |
| A27006 | And did it not seem good to the Holy Ghost, and the Apostles, Acts 15. to Impose only necessary things? |
| A27006 | And did not Peter and Paul go as safe a way to Heaven as you? |
| A27006 | And did not Peter and Paul please God as well without them as you do with them? |
| A27006 | And did not the holy Bishops of the East, refuse to surcease their Ministration when they prohibited them? |
| A27006 | And do not you see that the People are every where for the Parliament? |
| A27006 | And do you cherish it, by saying to us,[ Though you think it a heinous sin to conform, yet do it, or Suffer for your Dissent? |
| A27006 | And do you not startle to hear them call their way Strictness, and the other Loosness? |
| A27006 | And do you think that to be taught once a Year, or in many Years, is enough to counterwork Sin, the Devil and his Instruments? |
| A27006 | And do you, after all your Undertakings and Sufficiency, now bring us so sad an account of your success? |
| A27006 | And doth not the Nation know that it was only the old Conformsty which was then questioned, and that the new was not in being? |
| A27006 | And for Revenge; what need we fear it when the Parliament may continue till it consent to its Dissolution? |
| A27006 | And for the National Church, unless you speak equivocally, they know no such thing: for what is it that is the Constitutive Head of it? |
| A27006 | And for the Sword of unjust War, if Violence gives right in one case, why not in another? |
| A27006 | And he founded out his Aggravations of this Doctrine; and then cryed to Dr. Bates, what say you Dr. Bates, is this your Opinion? |
| A27006 | And here I should propound to the contrary- minded one Question, Whether if a Bishop should command them to stand or sit, they would do it? |
| A27006 | And how Scripture which meddles not with the individua should confer Power on him as a fit Medium? |
| A27006 | And how close- hunded almost all Men are that are themselves in want? |
| A27006 | And how could the wit of Man devise Words more exclusive of all Exceptions, than to say[ It is not Lawful on any pretence whatsoever?] |
| A27006 | And how then say you, we would dispence with nothing? |
| A27006 | And if Modesty and Self- diffidence do make me refrain from Censures and Corrections and Expunctions, can that be esteemed culpable? |
| A27006 | And if a Succession of bare Possession serve, how many Churches have the like? |
| A27006 | And if he have power as a Presbyter, why do the Bishop appropriate it to themselves? |
| A27006 | And if it be a great sin rashly to Excommunicate one Christian, what is it so to Excommunicate whole Parishes, Cities, Counties, or Congregations? |
| A27006 | And if what you say be true, who would not rather far be a meer Catholck Christian, out of all National Churches, than be in them? |
| A27006 | And in that case, whether it be Trayterous to say that one side hath his Authority against the other? |
| A27006 | And indeed, how can you expect that he who will stand it out to an Excommunication, should be bettered by any ordinary means? |
| A27006 | And is he not equally responsible for both? |
| A27006 | And is it not a Condemning, or Contradicting God needlesly, to take a Contrary Course? |
| A27006 | And is it not a means of working it, as well as the Sacraments; Yea and in the same sort of Causality? |
| A27006 | And is it so indeed? |
| A27006 | And is not Love the new and great Commandment? |
| A27006 | And is not that to operate morally on mind and will accordingly? |
| A27006 | And is not this a moral gracious Operation? |
| A27006 | And is not this enough? |
| A27006 | And is not this the certain regular way? |
| A27006 | And is that all the fault( besides the Length forementioned)? |
| A27006 | And is the Nonconformist''s Ministry no more necessay? |
| A27006 | And is this no Gracious Work? |
| A27006 | And is this no grant of federal Grace? |
| A27006 | And is this the intolerable Evil, worthy to be avoided at the rate of all our Calamities? |
| A27006 | And is this the only healing way? |
| A27006 | And it is possible, That Commissions may be contrary( of the same date) who then can know which is the Traytor? |
| A27006 | And may it not be so in our case? |
| A27006 | And should not a desire to obey God first be cherished? |
| A27006 | And that it is a Sin of Disorder where unnecessarily it is done otherwise? |
| A27006 | And that the Rebels belied him when they said that they had his Warrant or Commission? |
| A27006 | And that the Sessions or Pastor be responsible for Male- Administration or Injury, if proved? |
| A27006 | And then, Whether that which is antecedently a Duty by Divine Obligation, be not further so by Self- obligation, when it is vowed with an Oath? |
| A27006 | And think you those are Ways of Peace? |
| A27006 | And was it ever known that all the Clergy was sworn to such an Anomalous Rabble? |
| A27006 | And was not the Case of the Bishops that St. Martin separated from to the Death, like yours, or much fairer? |
| A27006 | And was such a putid Falshood fit for a Pulpit, from such Men that never spake one word to my face in their Lives? |
| A27006 | And was this, think you, the meaning of the Imposers of the Oath, that it should be left to Men''s Liberty to take an illegal Commission for none? |
| A27006 | And what Complaints do fill all the Land? |
| A27006 | And what Evidence so notorious which they will not out- face? |
| A27006 | And what Matter of Reconciliation would it be to the guilty Papists, when we blame their impious Doctrines that have such a tendency? |
| A27006 | And what advantage give you the Infidels, and our own Remnants of Infidelity, to deny the Head by so far denying the Body? |
| A27006 | And what did the Parliament''s Army desire more? |
| A27006 | And what if it be in the King''s power: Is it not the more reasonable that the King be petitioned to in the Business? |
| A27006 | And what if we had done so? |
| A27006 | And what shall all these Persons do? |
| A27006 | And what sin, say they, can be more heinous, than to break their Vows with God so solemnly, and in such dreadful Expressions, made? |
| A27006 | And what then? |
| A27006 | And what then? |
| A27006 | And what''s all this to the King''s own Act, who took it himself; whom we must also by our Subscription disoblige? |
| A27006 | And what''s all this to you? |
| A27006 | And when all is done, do they rule alone indeed? |
| A27006 | And whether you mean by[ Lawful Power] that which is indeed[ Lawful Power ad hoc] or only[ ad aliud]? |
| A27006 | And which of the Parliament''s Souldiers ever saw the Commissions of those whom they Fought against? |
| A27006 | And who can but fear that such an universal Sin must be yet more sharply punished, when such a Scourge as this had no better effects? |
| A27006 | And who shall be Bishops? |
| A27006 | And who shall make that Rule? |
| A27006 | And why may it not be so also to the Ministry? |
| A27006 | And why should I not add two Propositions for Peace with the Episcopal? |
| A27006 | And why should I suspect that any of these worthy persons are less peaceable? |
| A27006 | And why they cryed out in our Assemblies, Come down thou Deceiver, thou Hireling, thou Dog; and now never meddle with the Pastors or Congregations? |
| A27006 | And will it not be best at last? |
| A27006 | And would not covetousness rather make both father and son Conform, that both might have Livings, than the son alone? |
| A27006 | And yet must we subscribe our Assent to every word in these Books, or else be Silenced, or Suffer? |
| A27006 | And yet would you make us believe that you are against the ruin of it; who will not prevent it at so easie a rate? |
| A27006 | And you know it is the Pope whose Succession we are questioning; and which is the Catholick Church that must accept and repute him a true Pope? |
| A27006 | And, Do the Innocent Flocks deserve to suffer in their Souls for our Nonconformity? |
| A27006 | Are all our Divisions better than the enduring of this? |
| A27006 | Are all that are Holy the Rule or Rulers to all others? |
| A27006 | Are all the Author of their Communion or not? |
| A27006 | Are not the Severals proposed or insisted on, too many for this first Attempt? |
| A27006 | Are such as these the occasions of your insulting? |
| A27006 | Are the Rural Deaneries think you, without the King''s Authority? |
| A27006 | Are these men for us to hold Communion with? |
| A27006 | Are they all bound to disobey the King if he should command their Service for the Change of Prelacy into the Primitive Episcopacy? |
| A27006 | Are they not great that are directly against Love and Unity, the Soul and Life of the Church of Christ? |
| A27006 | Are those in the Eighth Quaere[ no pretences whatsoever?] |
| A27006 | Are we our selves the discerning Judges? |
| A27006 | Are you certain now? |
| A27006 | Are you risen up now so near the Silencers Opinion as that you would have all these Souls untaught and America transplanted into London? |
| A27006 | Are you sure that the King may not lawfully endeavour any Reformation? |
| A27006 | As the Church or Ministers are Judges, when the Question is[ whether such a Man is to be avoided, rejected, or excommunicated for Heresie or any Sin?] |
| A27006 | As to the Reformed Churches Testimony of our Liturgy, shall their very Charity become our Snare? |
| A27006 | As to the other Question, Why we dealt not thus by all the Parish, and took them not all for Members without question? |
| A27006 | As to the second Question, What hope of Success? |
| A27006 | Bilson and Andrews, agree, That we must do the like upon such unjust Prohibitions? |
| A27006 | But alas, what is there so false and odious which exasperated factious, malicious Minds will not believe and say of others? |
| A27006 | But all these are Laws: And so are those in Reformed Countreys which are against Bishops and Ceremonies: Do you therefore think them not too rigorous? |
| A27006 | But are there not enough others that may evince the point in hand besides that? |
| A27006 | But can such a person change their own minds and fears, because you give them reason for it? |
| A27006 | But hath the Synod or Presbytery a Negative Voice in his punishment, or not? |
| A27006 | But how are you satisfied that we may derive our Authority immediately from the Law, if there were no Succession? |
| A27006 | But how should he have such Power with a Servant of God? |
| A27006 | But how will this stand with Christ''s Catholick Laws? |
| A27006 | But how? |
| A27006 | But if it were otherwise, is the use of all things contained there lawful? |
| A27006 | But if our Infant Baptism were irregular, how will you prove it a Nullity? |
| A27006 | But if yet I be mistaken, Shall your National- Church have never a Member Tolerated that is as ignorant and bad as I? |
| A27006 | But is it the Judgment of the Ancient Church that will serve to degrade or null a Minister of this Age? |
| A27006 | But is there no Duty that private Christians owe to one another, for the furthering their Salvation, but only for their several Families? |
| A27006 | But now we come to the main matter; What satisfied so many of the intelligent part of the Countrey to side with the Parliament when the War began? |
| A27006 | But really, is it not so? |
| A27006 | But shall the Synod, or Presbytery carry by Vote, or not? |
| A27006 | But the People without Doors talked strangely: Some said, Did you not perswade us that the King was against the Irish Rebellion? |
| A27006 | But the other cryed out, Do you not hear now, my Lord, the impudence and unreasonableness of these brazen- faced Villains, that will never be content? |
| A27006 | But the other urged,[ Will not all our past Experience warn you? |
| A27006 | But were found you any M ● ● k of Concord in my Book, as with any Bishops but the Protestant Bishops and their Followers? |
| A27006 | But what are all these Words of mine to the Agreement? |
| A27006 | But what do you alledge against me? |
| A27006 | But what if the Bishop give me liberty to put in the word[ unlawfully] or to Subscribe only in that sence; may I not then lawfully do it? |
| A27006 | But what if there be no Preachers to be had? |
| A27006 | But what is the Thought or Word of Man? |
| A27006 | But what is this National Church which is so contrary to Christ''s Catholick Church? |
| A27006 | But what is this to Rome, any more than to Ierusalem or Alexandria? |
| A27006 | But what our likeness to God is, is the Question: Why may it not admit this Explication? |
| A27006 | But what will not Ignorance make men say? |
| A27006 | But when we have all forsaken our Churches and Offices for peace with you, is all the work done? |
| A27006 | But who shall be the Judge? |
| A27006 | But will Mr. Lambe regard the Judgment of one that differeth from him as I do? |
| A27006 | But with them and you it is the Thing in Controversie, Whether they are lawful Things, or not? |
| A27006 | But, if you hold not to this, what shall we do? |
| A27006 | By what Law is both Silence and Famine made their due? |
| A27006 | Can all Men know you by this to be Christ''s Disciples? |
| A27006 | Can not a Bishop lawfully advise the King to do it, if the King ask his Advice? |
| A27006 | Can not the Subjects endeavour it if the King command them? |
| A27006 | Can not the Subjects petition, and the Parliament speak and vote without him, and petition him also? |
| A27006 | Can you certainly say, That the Church- Government is so purely Divine and Perfect, as that no Reformation is either necessary or lawful? |
| A27006 | Charity covereth infirmities, and thinketh no evil, and shall we find them( and make them) in our Brethren? |
| A27006 | Charity( or Christian Love) and Unity are the great vital Graces of the Christian Church: And oh, how wofully do these Men violate and destroy it? |
| A27006 | Christ gathereth, and will you scatter? |
| A27006 | Consider what you do? |
| A27006 | Contempt of your Authority; and can he then be Saved? |
| A27006 | Could not the King have pleased himself without us? |
| A27006 | Could you do more to extirpate Episcopacy, than to make it hateful to the People, by making it hurtful? |
| A27006 | Dare you deny, that many of your Silenced Brethren Study as hard as you to know the Truth, and have as good Capacity? |
| A27006 | Dare you say, That you are not ignorant of plainer and greater things than we suffer about? |
| A27006 | Deus Unus est: De Uno Deo Unus est Christus: Qui rebaptizatur jam Christianus fuerat: Quomodo dici potest iterum Christianus? |
| A27006 | Did Christ disown them all, and yet was he their Head, and they his Body? |
| A27006 | Did all the Gospel Precepts of Love and Holy Communion cease, as soon as Infant Baptism prevailed? |
| A27006 | Did he ever say, that your New Subscription, Declaration, Oath, or Re- ordination are Lawful? |
| A27006 | Did not one of you tell me, that you thought any Congregation was better to have none, then such as I? |
| A27006 | Did not this then confirm the Obligation? |
| A27006 | Did not you help to Banish them Five Miles from( not the Court only) but all Cities and Corporations, and Places of their former Ministery? |
| A27006 | Did the Ancient Discipline, not enforced by the Sword for 300 years, do less good than yours? |
| A27006 | Did the Convocation and Parliament contrive and impose things, which they themselves did judge to be of no use? |
| A27006 | Did they ever then subject any Baptism to the Bishop of Rome? |
| A27006 | Did they not know that it belongeth to the Prelates, and not to such as we, to deprive Men of their Liberty in praying? |
| A27006 | Did they not take as wise a course for the Churche''s concord and the avoiding of Schism, as either the English or Roman Bishops take? |
| A27006 | Did you ever see or hear our Reasons to prove that 〈 ◊ 〉 which we took for such? |
| A27006 | Do I not cite Downame, and others, as Protestant Bishops, who yet maintain it? |
| A27006 | Do any Casuists in the World teach such Doctrine, That a former Oath is null, because some Conveniencies required the taking of a later? |
| A27006 | Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the Iudgment Seats? |
| A27006 | Do not you startle to hear the Catholick Church called the World? |
| A27006 | Do these well consist? |
| A27006 | Do they not know into what Poverty London is brought by the late Fire, and want of Trade? |
| A27006 | Do they not know that if Parliaments be destroyed, their Lives and Estates are meerly at the Will and Mercy of the Conquerour? |
| A27006 | Do we not Teach them not to believe us? |
| A27006 | Do we not now see with what Mind he would have gone himself with an Army into Ireland to fight against them? |
| A27006 | Do we not see that the English is best? |
| A27006 | Do you intend that he shall do it by Consent of his Synod, or a Presbytery; or by his own Power alone? |
| A27006 | Do you not confess, that you are not Infallible? |
| A27006 | Do you not grant the Cause in Hand? |
| A27006 | Do you not hold, That God must be first obeyed, and none against him? |
| A27006 | Do you not know that Conformists will not endure us in this private Diligence which you speak of? |
| A27006 | Do you now come and tell us, that we have great reason to fear the utter ruin of the Protestant Religion? |
| A27006 | Do you really desire that every Congregation may have an able, godly Minister? |
| A27006 | Do you suppose your Reader one that never read Church- History? |
| A27006 | Do you think that Man that shall say Christ died but for half the Saints themselves, to be ever the better for that strict Opinion? |
| A27006 | Do you think that you are now bound to keep this Covenant, and to believe and live according to it? |
| A27006 | Do you think this is good arguing? |
| A27006 | Do you well know what sort of Ministers are in too many Parishes of England? |
| A27006 | Do your Consciences never startle, when you think of Silencing 1800 such Ministers? |
| A27006 | Doth any Prince scruple the removing of an intolerable Pilot or Captain from a Ship? |
| A27006 | Doth any doubt of it? |
| A27006 | Doth he judge Ecclesiastically, who speaketh not a word, nor medleth with the Cause any more than any one in the Congregation? |
| A27006 | Doth he not break this Oath, who should endeavour to change the Person Governing, as well as he that would change the Form of Government? |
| A27006 | Doth not one, and that a Presbyter declare or publish it? |
| A27006 | Doth not the Conscience of your own Frailty, and imperfect Knowledge moderate you? |
| A27006 | Doth not the Experience of all Ages prove it past doubt? |
| A27006 | Doth not this give the Lie to all our Preaching the contrary to them in the Pulpit? |
| A27006 | Doth not your Cause plainly bear an Image contrary to that of God? |
| A27006 | Doth their kind of Interest tempt you more than ● our own to partiality? |
| A27006 | Doth there need no more to be said for the Ceremonies? |
| A27006 | Downame, Stoughton,& c. Oh, how great a Number and how excellent, almost matchless Men? |
| A27006 | Durst you have said to whole Countries, Never Assemble to Worship God by Solemn Praises; Never baptize any; Never communicate in the Lord''s Supper? |
| A27006 | EUM qui ad Deum so conversum esse professus est, Paganum vocas? |
| A27006 | Either it is our Duty to reform, and to recover our Liberties, and relieve our Country, and punish Delinquents, or it is not? |
| A27006 | Else what should Men do with Curates, if they must always Read themselves? |
| A27006 | Especially where the Maintenance is Publick, and given for the Work, and the Work is for the Publick Good? |
| A27006 | Even them that are in Christ Jesus? |
| A27006 | God be Merciful to me a Sinner? |
| A27006 | Had Christ no Church for One Thousand Two Hundred Years in all the World, that a Christian ought to join with in local Communion? |
| A27006 | Had you nothing but[ Suspicion] and[ Opinion] to oppugn? |
| A27006 | Hath God need of Lies and Perjury to his Service? |
| A27006 | Hath Popery been no better resisted by you in those Places whence you Bunished us? |
| A27006 | Have high and low been no better instructed and prefered by you? |
| A27006 | Have the Laws of the Land secured any of these to us against your Canons? |
| A27006 | Have you been bringing our Religion to no better a pass? |
| A27006 | Have you well considered that God''s Unity is the first of his Attributes next his Being? |
| A27006 | He askt her, Is it this Man, or that Man, or the other Man, or any there? |
| A27006 | Hereupon there was great talk upon the Question, Whether the way of Indulgence, or the way of Comprehension were more desirable? |
| A27006 | How could they know these things beforehand? |
| A27006 | How few of the Infidels, Socinians, gross Ignorants, or scandalous here in London, are by the Witnesses accused to the Ministers as such? |
| A27006 | How is he an Independent Judge where he is no Iudge? |
| A27006 | How is he by Office a Teacher, who hath not Authority to Teach? |
| A27006 | How many Parishes there be in a Diocess, and Persons in a Parish, who are to be the Objects of this Discipline? |
| A27006 | How many Sacraments hath Christ ordained,& c? |
| A27006 | How many Sacraments of the Covenant of Grace, hath Christ Ordained in his Church? |
| A27006 | How many Thousands in this Land and Scotland never knew of the King''s Declaration against the Covenant? |
| A27006 | How many hundred Years did prohibited Pastors teach and guide the Churches? |
| A27006 | How much more, under the Gospel, would God have Externals and Modals stoop to the Substance? |
| A27006 | How now can Mr. Baxter call those Men that so publish,& c. faithful Friends to Rome? |
| A27006 | How ordinarily do you say, That were it not for the Sword and Corporal Penalty, who would care for Excommunication? |
| A27006 | How prove you it lawful to Assent and Consent to a doubled 〈 ◊ 〉 that Infants baptized and dying before actual Sin, are saved? |
| A27006 | How prove you it lawful to assent and consent to deny Christian Communion to all that are not Confirmed by the Bishop, or willing to be so? |
| A27006 | How shall we bear the cryes of poor People for the Bread of Life? |
| A27006 | How should such an Attempt be managed? |
| A27006 | How tender is Christ of his weakest Members? |
| A27006 | How then could all beforehand set a bound how far to go? |
| A27006 | How then could that dispense with their Vows, which they never knew of, nor possibly could know of, being in the Parliaments Garrisons or Quarters? |
| A27006 | How will you absolve us from our Ordination Vow? |
| A27006 | I also ask, Were not Constantius and Valens( tho Erroneous) Lawful Princes? |
| A27006 | I ask therefore, must we acknowledge the Pope to be universal Bishop; or must we not? |
| A27006 | I conceive they are:: For if Licensed at the time of the Act made, what need any new License? |
| A27006 | I differ more from this than all the rest: Is it not enough that the Party may Appeal to the Presbytery? |
| A27006 | I have asked them further, Whether a Vow turn not a licet into an oportet? |
| A27006 | I have asked them further, Whether they would not call this a Change of Government de specie, or according to the sence of the Act? |
| A27006 | I have oft asked the Quakers lately, why they chose the same Ministers to revile, whom all the Drunkards and Swearers rail against? |
| A27006 | I look not to live to end a Dispute by Writing, so many are my Infirmities, and are you content to stay so long before you have the benefit? |
| A27006 | I looked to have most of the godly Ministers cast out, and what good could be done upon ignorant, vile, uncapable Men? |
| A27006 | I never hear one Conformist that saith it all: And why may not one be forborn as well as another? |
| A27006 | I told them that either they do intend such a Course or not: If they do, why should they think us criminal for knowing it? |
| A27006 | I urged him to tell me what he thought was the Errour of my Mind or Affections, and what he would have me do towards the Cure? |
| A27006 | If Agreement be desirable, Which side may more easily, and at a cheaper rate yield and alter, you or we? |
| A27006 | If Christ had no Church, then where was his Wisdom, his Love, and his Power? |
| A27006 | If God bless out Preaching and Writing to the good of many Souls, doth it not forbid us to repent, or at least make it very hard to us? |
| A27006 | If God say to a Father, why didst thou not dedicate this Child to me, and solemnly enter him into Covenant with me? |
| A27006 | If Independents may be taken in by us now, why did not you take them in when you were in power? |
| A27006 | If Prelacy be as sinful as the Non- Subscribers foregoing Arguments would prove, can it be injustice to save a Man from Sin and Hell? |
| A27006 | If Vaux think he must blow up the Parliament, and Ravailliack that he must stab a King, doth this necessitate them? |
| A27006 | If Writings will be useful to you, may you not as well read what is written already? |
| A27006 | If a Man swear Allegiance to the King to a wrong end, is he not therefore obliged to Allegiance by his Oath? |
| A27006 | If a Part, then what Part must it be? |
| A27006 | If all Families were ready and willing, how little a part of great Parishes would be taught? |
| A27006 | If all these be not Duties, let the question be, Whether any one of them be a Duty? |
| A27006 | If in the Church of Rome, the Conscience of a Subject forbid the use of Crucifixes, and Images, and Chrism, and Holy Water,& c. is it therefore they? |
| A27006 | If in the right, it is a strange Question, Whether a Man may obey God, that hath the Magistrates leave, till he be enforced by Mens violence? |
| A27006 | If it be only the Qualification of Legal Authority, or License, Why will not the giving of that qualifie them? |
| A27006 | If it were but the Question, Which is the King''s Governing Will, which the People must obey? |
| A27006 | If not — If you do, on what terms do you expect it? |
| A27006 | If not, how can you judge so peremptorily of them? |
| A27006 | If not, what mean you by such Intimations? |
| A27006 | If not, what need had we of all these Disputes with them? |
| A27006 | If not, whether you did not unhappily hence collect our Unhappiness? |
| A27006 | If not, why should they blame you, or Separate? |
| A27006 | If not, why use you the Argument of Antiquity for Episcopacy? |
| A27006 | If once the Consciences of the Nation should be so deba ● ched, what good can be expected from them? |
| A27006 | If so, doth it not also tye us to the Persons of Church- Governours; seeing they are equally here twisted, and Church- Government preposed? |
| A27006 | If so, what his Ends may be in it? |
| A27006 | If so, where was the Original? |
| A27006 | If so, why will he not confer with me, as well as he hath done with Dr. Gunning? |
| A27006 | If the Child shall die one hundred Years old, of what Age shall the old Man be? |
| A27006 | If the Council of Basil were the Catholick Church, then you know how Eugenius was reputed; and then where is our Succession? |
| A27006 | If the King made it, was he a Member of a Church or not? |
| A27006 | If the King that made it was no Member of a Church, then he that is no Member of a Church, may institute a Church Form; but quo jure? |
| A27006 | If the former, Where lyeth the danger? |
| A27006 | If the former, what''s that to the Roman Church, that is but a( corrupted) Part? |
| A27006 | If the whole, then few Ministers or Bishops must be so accepted, for who is known to all Christians in the World? |
| A27006 | If there be enough, why did you permit so many drunken, sottish Readers, and so many hundred wicked Livers, which the Church is not well rid of yet? |
| A27006 | If there be need of any Reformation, is it not a Covenant against Repentance and Obedience to God, to covenant never to endeavour it at all? |
| A27006 | If there were Protestants cast into China, and had the Opportunity as the Jesuits have, what should they do? |
| A27006 | If they ask why I Conform not? |
| A27006 | If they be, What then? |
| A27006 | If they had desired it, how easy had it been for them to have dasht out that one Clause[ or to this Sense]? |
| A27006 | If they have, why have so many Families formerly been undone, for such Exercises as these? |
| A27006 | If they represent any higher power, What is it? |
| A27006 | If they will not, who can help it? |
| A27006 | If they would, then why not with us also that are of the same Judgment? |
| A27006 | If this were declared, who of all the Parliament''s Army would not take this part of the Oath? |
| A27006 | If to all Corporations and Cities( where Churches only were planted at first) why not also to the Villages? |
| A27006 | If where Souls need the Number of Twenty or Ten Teachers, all may be forbidden save one, why not that one also? |
| A27006 | If you are for such forbidden strictness of Practice, why do you not answer it in your Opinions about Grace? |
| A27006 | If you are not against them, why are you against our Desires of encouragement in them? |
| A27006 | If you ask, Who is better? |
| A27006 | If you ask, Who shall be Iudge? |
| A27006 | If you ask, what necessity there can be of Ordination sine manum Impositione? |
| A27006 | If you do not, to what sence or purpose is this Answer? |
| A27006 | If you join with them, how know you what Religion they are of? |
| A27006 | If you say, Why then did you use it? |
| A27006 | If you shall say that the Case is not alike betwixt the Succession of Popes and other Bishops: I ask, where''s the difference? |
| A27006 | If you think our Nonconformity our Duty, what meaneth your Address to us as such, and your Counsels aforementioned? |
| A27006 | If you think their Baptism a Nullity? |
| A27006 | In Case that a Man pretend to have the King''s Commission, but doth not shew it me, what am I then to do? |
| A27006 | In Transplanting both Moderators and Pastors, should not either their own Consent, or the Presbytery''s, or People''s be made necessary? |
| A27006 | In the Litany, instead of Fornication and all other deadly Sin, would it not satisfie thus? |

| A27006 | Is he no Person? |
| A27006 | Is it an honour to be strict Sinners and Destroyers of the Church and Holy Love? |
| A27006 | Is it from our State at home? |
| A27006 | Is it in the increase of Papists, as to Quality or Number of persons? |
| A27006 | Is it likely to be of God which is so pleasing to the Flesh, the Papists and the Devil, as our ceasing to preach the Gospel would be? |
| A27006 | Is it not as sinful to Write and Counsel when prohibited, as to Preach? |
| A27006 | Is it not the English Form of Church- Government by Diocesans that is here meant; and not some other sort of Episcopacy which is not here? |
| A27006 | Is it the King''s Coercive Government of the Church, by the Sword, which is here meant, according to the Oath of Supremacy? |
| A27006 | Is it unsafer to give a Preacher leave to utter a few Sentences of the Sacrament at the Delivery, than to Preach a whole Sermon of it? |
| A27006 | Is not Christ''s way, and the first Churches, most likely to save the People''s Souls, and yours to damn them? |
| A27006 | Is not God''s Worship perfect without our Ceremonies, in its Integrals as well as its Essentials? |
| A27006 | Is not a Christ that comes on so low a Design, and settles a Church of so narrow a Space and short Continuance next to no Church? |
| A27006 | Is not the Doctrinal Determination about the Saving of Baptized Infants( and other such like) of use to tell us its Doctrine is taken to be true? |
| A27006 | Is not the Kalendar and Direction for reading Scripture, of use to tell you what Days to keep, and what Chapters to read? |
| A27006 | Is not the Rubrick of use to direct you in the several Offices? |
| A27006 | Is not the World much abused when they are told that it is the Presbyterians, that are for excommunicating Princes, and not the Episcopal? |
| A27006 | Is not this Christ, in Power and great Glory? |
| A27006 | Is not this Christian Filial Duty of Presbyters toward the Bishops their Fathers? |
| A27006 | Is not this a groundless, and slanderous insinuation? |
| A27006 | Is not this the next Step to Flat Infidelity? |
| A27006 | Is not this to make every Minister an Independent, Ecclesiastical Judge? |
| A27006 | Is not this true; How much of it do you plainly maintain in this Writing? |
| A27006 | Is the Canonical Subscription and Oath of Obedience, and Re- ordination,& c. no more? |
| A27006 | Is the Gospel grown so indifferent to you, in Comparison of your 〈 ◊ 〉 indifferent? |
| A27006 | Is the Liturgy all that Nonconformists stick at? |
| A27006 | Is there not a wise Man among you? |
| A27006 | Is there therefore a Disparity because they do alike? |
| A27006 | Is this an Odious or Scandalous Request? |
| A27006 | Is this norrowness of special loving Communion answerable to the Principles of Universal Redemption and Grace, wherein I suspect you go beyond me? |
| A27006 | Is this your account of your undertaken Stewardship? |
| A27006 | It is a great Doubt among Casuists, Whether and when the Breach of Humane Laws oblige Men to any other than Humane Penalties? |
| A27006 | It is true( except Mr. Fisher, and some few) they were not ejected, but enjoyed their places; And did not you as well as they? |
| A27006 | It is well that the Elders Consent is required: but I think it should be the Congregation''s: And what if the Elders dissent? |
| A27006 | It was a great Strait that People were in, especially that dwell near any busie Officer, or malicious Enemy( as who doth not?) |
| A27006 | It were well worth the knowing what you mean by the Catholick Church, do you mean the whole, or only a Part? |
| A27006 | Know you not how much is added since? |
| A27006 | Lastly, Whether this following Sense, in which we could take it, be the true sense of the Oath? |
| A27006 | Many Parties may Plead one Medium, one Scripture, for contrary Opinions: Are they, Ergo, alike sound and justifiable? |
| A27006 | May not a Man be baptized that is not certain that the Gospel is true, if he believe it so far as to venture Life and Soul, and all upon it? |
| A27006 | May not a man premeditate a few sentences as well as a sermon? |
| A27006 | May not the Church of England be more evidently beautiful, large and safe hereby? |
| A27006 | May not the Suspended Preach? |
| A27006 | May not the illegitimate Ordainer imponere manus? |
| A27006 | May not we crave that necessary things may be secured to us, without being interpreted to seem to insinuate Accusations against you? |
| A27006 | Might not a Subject by Arms defend the King, and rescue his Life, against his Will and Commission? |
| A27006 | Mr. Baxter was neither ignorant of, nor unconcerned in, nor unfit for such a Work as this; who knew him better than he knew himself? |
| A27006 | Mr. Geery that died at the news of the King''s Dearh? |
| A27006 | Must one sort of Christians have the Soul of holy Communion without the Body, and carry the Knife naked, while you deny them the Sheath? |
| A27006 | Must the People needs have him or none as long as he lives? |
| A27006 | Must they needs be damned by thousands, without making any question of it? |
| A27006 | Must we be all divided in this Day of Peril, when we are ready to be assaulted by the common Enemy? |
| A27006 | Nay, durst you adventure to neglect it your self? |
| A27006 | Nay, durst you encourage him to neglect it? |
| A27006 | Nay, is any Minister forced or required to give the Sacrament to any notoriously wicked, or prophane Person? |
| A27006 | Nay, shall the same Man so long refuse to tell us his Mind, and when he hath done, blame us because we understand it not? |
| A27006 | Nay, we had many Church Papists that went not so far? |
| A27006 | Nequa suspicio gratiae sit in scribendo? |
| A27006 | Now I would know, If lie dying in such a Parish, must I confess my Sin to no Man but such an one as this? |
| A27006 | Now all the vain question here is, Which of these two Parties shall be called The Church of England? |
| A27006 | Now what do you yet want ad esse Ministri? |
| A27006 | Now whether we shall dispute de necessitate ordinationis ad officium verum& legitimum proprie& primario sic dictum,& in foro Dei? |
| A27006 | Now which of all these should you join with? |
| A27006 | O how holy and blessed a Life, and how easie a Death? |
| A27006 | O how little is it that wrathful Enemies can do against us, in comparison of what our sin, and the Justice of God can do? |
| A27006 | On this account your Doctors teach the Salvation of Heathens,( Are those of your Church?) |
| A27006 | Or Spiritual Government by the Keys? |
| A27006 | Or all that is in it? |
| A27006 | Or an intolerable Minister from the Church? |
| A27006 | Or an intolerable Officer from the Court, though it be to his loss? |
| A27006 | Or are these Men as much stricter than Christ, as the Pharisees were about his Converse and the Sabbath? |
| A27006 | Or both? |
| A27006 | Or can it be every day done, and no one obliged to do it? |
| A27006 | Or can not King and Parliament do good by Laws to the Church or Commonwealth, whenever a single Person or a few do suffer by it? |
| A27006 | Or do we come to be his Instruments, to give away the Peoples Liberties, and set up that which was begun? |
| A27006 | Or do you believe that they meant no more? |
| A27006 | Or doth not a Lay- Chancellor exercise the Keys? |
| A27006 | Or else if you read a Prayer,& c. Either you determine these things to the Churches hurt, or not? |
| A27006 | Or else, that they be resisted, as not Commissioned, because their Commission is unlawful? |
| A27006 | Or every shewn Commission to be current, and not surreptitious, though contrary to Law? |
| A27006 | Or for Subjects to endeavour it by Petition? |
| A27006 | Or from abroad? |
| A27006 | Or how far may a good Christian Communicate with such without just Scandal given or taken? |
| A27006 | Or how know they what other particular Churches are in their Communion? |
| A27006 | Or if it were ex tempore, is he fit to be a Preacher that can not speak a few sentences on so great a subject, with safe and edifying words? |
| A27006 | Or if they must beg or live on others Charity, where shall they have it, if they take your Course? |
| A27006 | Or if you do, whether they must separate? |
| A27006 | Or in Controversies of Religion, who before a General Council? |
| A27006 | Or is this a time to join with the Enemies of the Protestant Religion, to draw all the People to forsake them? |
| A27006 | Or may he not himself enter by Imposition of Hands, and yet be illegitimate, and his Calling null? |
| A27006 | Or of the matter of Canons, than of Civil and Common and Statute Laws? |
| A27006 | Or only as ad Officium analogicum secundario& minus proprie in foro tantum ecclesiae sic dictum? |
| A27006 | Or that our Authority only is infallible in judging of them? |
| A27006 | Or that the English Diocesan Frame may be Sworn to for Obedience? |
| A27006 | Or that there would be none to contest against them in the Convocation? |
| A27006 | Or to Subscribe to all that is contained in our Book of Ordination? |
| A27006 | Or was his Declararation about Ecclesiastical Affairs a sin? |
| A27006 | Or were we Consecrated to the Ministry in our Ordination, on that Condition, to preach till forbidden unjustly? |
| A27006 | Or what Law did ratifie many Articles of your Visitation Books? |
| A27006 | Or what if he had taken down all their Power, and given them a Writ of Ease, and therewith left them, durante vita, their Estates and Honours? |
| A27006 | Or what necessity is there of Re- ordination? |
| A27006 | Or whether a Vow bind not to a Duty? |
| A27006 | Or will you leave out all that you can not prove to have been then used, and that as necessary, as now it is supposed? |
| A27006 | Or, if the Law be changed, doth not this Oath still bind us? |
| A27006 | Or, is it meant only of Monarchy as such? |
| A27006 | Or, that King or Parliament have not power to make, or Endeavour any alteration of your Church- Government, if they had sworn it? |
| A27006 | Or, to attempt the just Reformation of the Parish? |
| A27006 | Promise and long Practice were plain; was the Repeal also plain? |
| A27006 | Publick Pennance — And why not? |
| A27006 | Quere, If the whole Synod have no governing Power over its Members, hath the President of that Synod any qua talis? |
| A27006 | Quis nescit, primam historiae Legem esse, me quid falsi dicere audeat? |
| A27006 | SIR, YOU being so well acquainted with Mr. Baxter, I desire you will please to ask him, whether he be the King''s Chaplain in Ordinary, or not? |
| A27006 | SIR, YOur first Question is, Whether the way of Comprehension or Indulgence be more desirable? |
| A27006 | Shall Gratitude be thought a Crime, though more copious in the Materials of it, than may every way consist with the stricter Bounds of Accuracy? |
| A27006 | Shall Hypocrites be free from Conviction and Condemnation, because wicked Men call the Godly Hypocrites? |
| A27006 | Shall Rebells be justified, because some innocent Men are called Rebels? |
| A27006 | Shall he have the Communion of the Church, who will rather be cast out of it than repent? |
| A27006 | Shall that hinder the Relation or not? |
| A27006 | Shall the Presbytery have a Negative Voice in the Ordination, or be Cyphers? |
| A27006 | Shall the instructing of the Peoples Souls so much depend on every Word in all these Canons? |
| A27006 | Shall we confess a Schismatical Church for a true Church? |
| A27006 | Shall we offer such a Sacrifice to him that is most Holy, and this under pretence that we desire to serve him by the preaching of his Gospel? |
| A27006 | Should not Bishops be the most skilful and forward to heal, and the most backward to divide or persecute? |
| A27006 | Should not Dividers fear least Christ say to them that castoff most of his Holy Members for this Opinion sake, Ye did it unto me? |
| A27006 | Should your Sect be judged more visible than the whole Christian World? |
| A27006 | So that any Stranger that had but heard and seen all this, would have asked, What Monster of Villany is this Man? |
| A27006 | Suppose the Parish- Churches should be no true Churches, is it destructive to particular Churches to join with the Parish- Assemblies? |
| A27006 | That God hath made Ecelesiastical Officers the ordinary authoritative Judges of this Question, Who is the qualified Person? |
| A27006 | That I would have an acknowledgment that we are true Presbyters and Pastors? |
| A27006 | That after the first Question in the Catechism,[ What is your Name?] |
| A27006 | That had rather the Church doors were shut up, and we lived like Heathens, than we should Worship God without a Bishops Commands? |
| A27006 | That so the Reformation here may have only private Toleration as we have, till some Disorder is said to forfeit it? |
| A27006 | The Adult is not to Sign himself, but the Minister who is Christ''s Agent( not so much as asking, wilt thou be signed?) |
| A27006 | The Conclusion therefore might be granted without any Decision of the Controversie: For the Question is not, Whether we may swear to do such things? |
| A27006 | The Despondencies you mention are unreasonable: Will you conclude you can not suffer, before you are called to Suffering? |
| A27006 | The King doth not choose every Rural Dean himself: And is it any more destructive of his Power to do it by the Synods, than by the Diocesan? |
| A27006 | The Question about the Marriage, is not An factum valeat? |
| A27006 | The Question now is, What we got by procuring this Declaration of the King''s, and how it was accepted by the People? |
| A27006 | The first you know they are unfit for: If you think otherwise, would you that your Judgments should have such kind of helps to have set them right? |
| A27006 | The great talk at this time was, Who were the burners of the City? |
| A27006 | The question is not here, Who is commanded by this Act? |
| A27006 | Then it seems the Death of one Bishop, or two or three, doth actually devolve their Charge to another, and who knoweth which other? |
| A27006 | There are but these two Questions then before you; What is the Cause of your Trouble? |
| A27006 | There is great Controversie in the World, Whether Subjects have a Propriety in their Estates, which is not at the will of Princes? |
| A27006 | There was then a Church- Form before the Church of England; And who made that Church usque ad Originem? |
| A27006 | Therefore the Question is, Whether this Oath be not contrary to those former Laws, and do not settle the Bishops and Chancellors as fast as the King? |
| A27006 | Therefore the old Rhymer said against the Prelates, Christus dixit quodam loco[ Vos non sic] nec dixit joco: Dixit suis: Ergo isti Cujus sunt? |
| A27006 | They are undermining the Church and Ministry, and shall we seek peace with such? |
| A27006 | They have Multitudes in their Communion that know not what Baptism is, nor to what use, nor who Christ is, whether God or Man? |
| A27006 | They said, What were the Lords of England but William the Conquerour''s Colonels? |
| A27006 | This is spoken indefinitely of the Presbyterians: Where have I lived? |
| A27006 | This may follow[ When was this Name given you?] |
| A27006 | Truth and Goodness make Men worthy, but what can they derive from Men? |
| A27006 | Twenty Parties may say they are all in the right, doth it follow that they are all so, because they make the same Pretonce to it? |
| A27006 | Upon that Supposition we have no Controversie with you; Then what need any of this adoe? |
| A27006 | WHETHER may a Christian Magistrate tolerate Liberty of Conscience in Religion and Church Discipline without Scandal? |
| A27006 | WHat is your Name? |
| A27006 | WHether Particular Churches be of Divine Institution? |
| A27006 | Was it a Duty then, and is it unlawful now? |
| A27006 | Was it injustice to put down the Abbots? |
| A27006 | Was it so when Bishops were cast out heretofore by Emperours or Councils? |
| A27006 | Was not Bishop Carleton at the Synod of Dort with them? |
| A27006 | Was our Common Prayer used, and necessary to a Pastor''s Liberty, in the first or second Age? |
| A27006 | Was that Church unmoveable in Persecution, when the Head of it( Pope Marcellinus) offered Incense to Idols? |
| A27006 | Was the Eunuch Acts 8. subjected to the Pope, that only saith[ I believe that Iesus Christ is the Son of God] and was Baptized? |
| A27006 | Was there ever such a thing as an Interpretation of the Bible by Apostolical Tradition, without which, no Scripture must be interpreted? |
| A27006 | Were it but a meer probability, or possibility, who will have the better of it? |
| A27006 | Were it not for entring upon an unpleasing and unprofitable Task, I would ask you, 1. Who that Iuncto of Presbyters was that dethroned the King? |
| A27006 | Were not those, that Gildas called no Ministers, such, as too many now, obtruded on the People? |
| A27006 | Were such Volumes as our Homili ● s then to be subscribed to? |
| A27006 | Were the Cross, Surplice, and Restriction to kneeling in receiving the E ● charist enjoyned by Peter or Paul, or any in the first Age? |
| A27006 | Were the Low Countries so far from England that they could not possibly have borrowed a Bishop to Ordain? |
| A27006 | Were you certain of this by Gods Word heretofore? |
| A27006 | What Act of Parliament ratified your Canons? |
| A27006 | What Law imposed Altars, Rails, and the forcing of Ministers to read the Book for Dancing on the Lord''s Days? |
| A27006 | What Man can doubt whether all things in the Book were intended for some use or other; though not each part to the same use? |
| A27006 | What Man of Worth could or did ever yet absolutely escape being traduced by some or other? |
| A27006 | What Mercy did you receive from God in this Covenant of Baptism? |
| A27006 | What Nation is there that must not acknowledge the Original from the Sword? |

| A27006 | What Promise or Certainty of the contrary? |
| A27006 | What Qualification is it that that they want? |
| A27006 | What Remedy have I, if any will say that I mean Rulers by these words as Silencers and Persecutors? |
| A27006 | What Sectary would not be such a Healer? |
| A27006 | What a strait is a Man in among People of such Extremes? |

| A27006 | What hope is there of Success? |
| A27006 | What if I only were faulty? |
| A27006 | What if I should grant that all the Fathers would have Bishops to have the sole Power of Ordaining ordinarily, and for Order Sake? |
| A27006 | What if a Parliament- man make a Speech, or pass a Vote for it, are you sure that he sinneth? |
| A27006 | What if the King should by Commission require some Alterations, or command us to endeavour it, are you sure that we are all bound to disobey him? |
| A27006 | What if you lived in a Popish Country, would you swear to obey the Pope in licitis& honestis? |
| A27006 | What is required of Persons to be Baptized? |
| A27006 | What is so much predicated through all the Gospel? |
| A27006 | What is the inward Spiritual Grace? |
| A27006 | What is this to the King himself, who took it long after his Father''s Death, over whom no man had a dispensing Power? |
| A27006 | What shall God''s Worship and our Congregations do? |
| A27006 | What should I tell you of more, who I perceive are made believe the Crow is white? |
| A27006 | What should the People in New- England do, if there were not Ministers among the Indians? |
| A27006 | What should then be the Reason, that when he hath had any Thoughts tending that way, such Terrors, like a flaming Sword should pierce his Soul? |
| A27006 | What tell you them of other Mens Actions? |
| A27006 | What that Discipline is which he hath instituted? |
| A27006 | What the better were all those for the Laws that were Silenced, or driven into Forreign Lands? |
| A27006 | What was become of the Glory of his Redemption, and his Catholick Church, that was to continue to the End? |
| A27006 | What was done for you in your Baptism? |
| A27006 | What we mean by Anabaptists? |
| A27006 | What''s this to all those that took it after the present King had taken it, and published a Declaration for it? |
| A27006 | What''s this to all those that took it when the King was dead, and therefore could not dispense with their Oaths? |
| A27006 | What? |
| A27006 | When Forms of Liturgy came up, had they not divers in the same Empire, and also changed them in particular Churches? |
| A27006 | When as the Gospel worketh by the Ear, so the Cross by the Eye and Thought: It is not Grace that the Gospel is to work? |
| A27006 | When did we hear of any of them Excomunicate? |
| A27006 | When had the Truth a greater, or so great and glorious a Cloud of Witnesses? |
| A27006 | When this was done, the next Question was, Who should be Lord General, and what new Officers should be put in, or old ones continued? |
| A27006 | When was this Name given you? |
| A27006 | When you plead so much for Parish- Churches, are you therein a Nonconformist, and is your Address to your self? |

| A27006 | Why should it be left to the Bishop''s Will, whether he will restore such a Penitent or not? |
| A27006 | Why then are Infants baptized when by reason of ther tender Age they can not perform them? |
| A27006 | Why then could it never be procured to have the word[ unlawfully] put into the Act? |
| A27006 | Why then did not their Charity or yours shew the weakness of what we took for Proofs, nor ever answer our three last large Writings given in to them? |
| A27006 | Why then is it not as meet that one Gesture be used by all in singing Psalms or hearing Sermons? |
| A27006 | Why then( by Bishops) from reading the Scripture, or a Licens''d Book or Sermon? |
| A27006 | Why what is the Scope of this your Writing, but to prove that we are not Pasters? |
| A27006 | Will not common Reason think so by your Words, do they not imply it? |
| A27006 | Will not more agree in the Creed, than in Aquinas''s Sums, if it were all true? |
| A27006 | Will not your Principles lead to narrowness of holy Charity in Communication of worldly Goods, and destroy Christian Communion in this? |
| A27006 | Will you appeal from this Century to those? |
| A27006 | Will you do me the Favour as to tell me his Name? |
| A27006 | Will you have a Pastor that shall not speak in the Name of the People to God? |
| A27006 | Will you yet be guilty of those Men''s Blood?] |
| A27006 | Wilt thou be Baptized in this Faith?] |
| A27006 | With whom would these Men have held Communion if they had lived in any Age till two hundred Years ago? |
| A27006 | Would any be Schismaticks for dissenting from Lay men''s power of the Keys, from Crossing,& c. if there were no such Laws? |
| A27006 | Would not a fairer Answer have been better?] |
| A27006 | Would not your Words make the ignorant believe that we have the Liberty of the Press, and may do it if we will? |
| A27006 | Would they be so unfaithful as to hide a necessary Article? |
| A27006 | Would this have been any injury to them? |
| A27006 | Would you do as you do, if you loved your Neighbour as your selves, and loved not Superiority? |
| A27006 | Would you have a Unity, and do you ever expect such a thing or not? |
| A27006 | Would you have all those Ministers take this course that must lye in the Common Goal if they come within five Miles of the Place? |
| A27006 | Would you have those Ministers take the Course which you describe, in the Parishes, where the generality of the People must be then untaught? |
| A27006 | Would you have us avoid any Scripture or orderly Course, meerly because it is expressed in the Directory? |
| A27006 | Written it is not, by Fathers, Popes, or Councils; and if unwritten, in whose Memory is it, and how learnt they it? |
| A27006 | Yea, and where the Bishop, and Chancellour are the Judges, and none resisteth or controlleth them? |
| A27006 | Yea, is he not come, in Power and great Glory? |
| A27006 | Yea, must they needs govern them? |
| A27006 | Yea, our own Children? |
| A27006 | Yea, to my Friend that is no Priest? |
| A27006 | Yea; or if a Convocation commanded it? |
| A27006 | You create Impossibilities and Necessities upon your selves by your erronious Consciences? |
| A27006 | You may see by that that I speak to Papists, why then would you intimate that it was to Protestant Bishops? |
| A27006 | You say the Person well knoweth me( though I know not him) and dare trust himself,& c. why then will he not meet me to debate the Case? |
| A27006 | You think our Particulars are too many already, and would you have more? |
| A27006 | You would not forbear a Return to God from any gross Sin, for fear of grieving Men: Is not Schism a gross Sin? |
| A27006 | Your Followers Souls are by you endangered, while you leave them in their Sin; will it endanger them to tell them of that Danger, and help them out? |
| A27006 | Your second Question is, What abatement is desirable for Comprehension? |
| A27006 | [ How many Sacraments hath Christ ordained?] |
| A27006 | [ The variety of Iudgments:] But you never found the far greater variety among Papists? |
| A27006 | a particular Church is therefore the Rule or Ruler to the rest, because it triumpheth over Heresy? |
| A27006 | and Who gave you this Name?] |
| A27006 | and a retirement into its Communion, called a Returning to the World? |
| A27006 | and at how cheap and easy a rate, might I have prevented it? |
| A27006 | and consequently an uninterrupted Succession of such Ordination be of the same Necessity? |
| A27006 | and depriving so many Thousand Souls of their Ministry? |
| A27006 | and for fasting and praying together for the Pardon of their Sins? |
| A27006 | and how cometh our Silence and forsaking the Preaching of the Gospel to be our Duty during the need of so many Thousand Souls? |
| A27006 | and how long? |
| A27006 | and how much greater his quickening Life, that possesseth you with Love to God and Man? |
| A27006 | and how was it lost, or changed into Episcopacy, and upon what Grounds or Motives? |
| A27006 | and humbly craved his Patience, that I might ask him, How England had ever forfeited that Blessing, and unto whom the Forfeiture was made? |
| A27006 | and if it speak de jure, that there should be no other, whether it yield not up the Cause? |
| A27006 | and if some said they would have Bishops if they could, it is plain it was but few, for if most had been willing, what hindered them? |
| A27006 | and malicious or unjust accusing, which indeed are sins? |
| A27006 | and must that be granted you? |
| A27006 | and must we repent of all our prohibited Writings to? |
| A27006 | and shall not I imitate him? |
| A27006 | and that they determined not against supposed Obligations to lower Changes of the Royal Government? |
| A27006 | and the Office and work of Presbyters may be changed on pretence that now Bishops can do it without them? |
| A27006 | and those true Organized Churches that have only such Ministers? |
| A27006 | and to save all the Churches from such Calamity, for some fleshly abatements that follow to a few Persons? |
| A27006 | and what Miscarriages will not false Principles and Faction hide? |
| A27006 | and what is the Wickedness that he is guilty of? |
| A27006 | and what were they Baptized into, but into the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost? |
| A27006 | and whether his Laws and his Commission may not be contrary? |
| A27006 | and whether you will not confess it impossible till one party change their Minds? |
| A27006 | and why not to the President of the Association, for Peace? |
| A27006 | and with what Authority? |
| A27006 | and with what Honour to that Church? |
| A27006 | and would not you your self rather submit to a Mass Priest, than to those whom you take for no Ministers at all? |
| A27006 | and would you not then draw the People from acknowledging us such? |
| A27006 | and yet Presbyters were more in Number than Bishops? |
| A27006 | are there able faithful Men enough of your Way? |
| A27006 | are they your God? |
| A27006 | as that it is disobedience to our Fathers not to consent to their punishment? |
| A27006 | at least to procure Unity and Peace in other things, after so long uncharitable Alienations, and doleful Effects of them in the Church and State? |
| A27006 | but An fieri debeat? |
| A27006 | but how should I prove it? |
| A27006 | but preach and write so much as you did against Toleration of them? |
| A27006 | but whether we may swear to obey them as our lawful Ordinaries in licitis& honestis? |
| A27006 | but whether we may swear to obey those Men in that relation, and to do those things sub formali ratione obedientiae? |
| A27006 | but who is obliged by the Covenant or Vow? |
| A27006 | by what Persons? |
| A27006 | can I honestly wish all undone again? |
| A27006 | can they believe without hearing, and hear without preach ● ● ●? |
| A27006 | can they do it in Newgate? |
| A27006 | can we know Mens Hearts that will not open them to us? |
| A27006 | could they help it? |
| A27006 | deinde ne quid veri non audeat? |
| A27006 | do you think it Lawful to ordain insufficient unmeet Men, if the Law of the Land so command you; what then are Christ''s Laws for? |
| A27006 | for my part, I am not now able, must I therefore do nothing? |
| A27006 | from the Universal Church in your Communion? |
| A27006 | hath this Century, which hath been the only reforming Age, been worse than that before it, whose Corruptions it reformed? |
| A27006 | have you sufficiently expressed the accountableness of Churches mutually, in case of Offence from Male- Administration and Church Censures? |
| A27006 | he justifieth, and will you be he that shall condemn? |
| A27006 | he reconcileth and uniteth, and will you divide? |
| A27006 | how easily and safely might you grant them, without any wrong to your Consciences, or the Church? |
| A27006 | how much easier is Christ''s Yoke than yours? |
| A27006 | how seriously may the Episcopal say to the Presbyterian, it is your Error? |
| A27006 | how shall their Rents and Charges be paid? |
| A27006 | if we must, why do we not? |
| A27006 | in what Place? |
| A27006 | is he sharper upon them, then on the Presbyterians, Anabaptists, Prelates, where he thought or found them culpable? |
| A27006 | is it a Sin to speak to Two Thousand at once, and a Duty to speak to them one by one, doing that a whole Year, which I can do in an Hour? |
| A27006 | is there no Concord to be had with you but by giving up our poor People to such as these again? |
| A27006 | must I that have hazarded my Life for many a single Sermon now repent of all? |
| A27006 | must we do all this, or else be judged to Damnation by the Sectaries of Rome? |
| A27006 | nequa simultatis? |
| A27006 | not excepting any Infanfant of Pagan, Turk, or Atheist, or Insidel? |
| A27006 | of what continuance? |
| A27006 | or are they Respecters of Persons? |
| A27006 | or did more intirely search into Affairs? |
| A27006 | or do you take the Word[ Church] there also equivocally and improperly? |
| A27006 | or how can they be taken for competent Witnesses in any Cause, or Persons meet for human converse? |
| A27006 | or how can your Majesty place any Con ● idence in them, notwithstanding the Oaths of Allegiance and Supremacy which they take? |
| A27006 | or how far the Liberty of Conscience therein may be used in observing or not observing them? |
| A27006 | or how should those Preachers be regarded by their Auditors that dare wilfully violate their solemn Vows? |
| A27006 | or is he not another Person? |
| A27006 | or is it the Pastors that needlesly impose these Things, that are the Disturbers of the Church? |
| A27006 | or is this good arguing? |
| A27006 | or lay under greater Advantages for pious and just Informations? |
| A27006 | or one Commission contrary to another? |
| A27006 | or the Barons but his Majors? |
| A27006 | or the Knights but his Captains? |
| A27006 | or what Bonds can be supposed to oblige them? |
| A27006 | or what Evil shall they ever after be thought to make Conscience of? |
| A27006 | or what is its Authority and Honour? |
| A27006 | or whether we were anew to dispute that Point? |
| A27006 | or which? |
| A27006 | or will not have such God- fathers the sole undertaking Covenanters, but will openly enter their own Children into that Covenant them ● selves? |
| A27006 | or will you call his Prayers[ his own] which he puts up by Virtue of his Office, according to God''s Word? |
| A27006 | or would you have had all these Ages have laid by all instituted Church Order and Worship? |
| A27006 | shall we consent to the Exclusion of Infants from their Churches? |
| A27006 | so the Magistrate only is Judge when the Question is,[ whether he be to be corporally punished for Heresie or any Sin?] |
| A27006 | that I will not yield to have Gods Church among us unchurched by the Papists, and his Worship cast aside for want of true Ministers? |
| A27006 | that can not be: And is he in them, and shall he be used so unkindly, so uncharitably, as to be cast by? |
| A27006 | the King promiseth to defend them, and shall separating Protestants pull them down? |
| A27006 | the like for the usage of the Cross in Baptism, and the humble posture of Kneeling at the receiving of the blessed Sacrament of the Lord''s Supper? |
| A27006 | the poor Peasants are not able to judge of their Titles: And if a Parliament shall not judge for them who shall? |
| A27006 | those that support the Ministers, unless they would do it to them that cease Preaching? |
| A27006 | to destroy themselves, and the hopes of their Posterity? |
| A27006 | to lead Men to Holy Love and Unity with the Catholick Church of Christ? |
| A27006 | was it they that petitioned and protested against it? |
| A27006 | what Ho ● se I shall ride on? |
| A27006 | what Meat I shall eat, and how much? |
| A27006 | what Wife I shall marry? |
| A27006 | what a Life have I to repent of if this must be my Repentance? |
| A27006 | what can he say? |
| A27006 | what if it be in a time when Bishops were so Ejected, when you can not prove them guilty of it? |
| A27006 | what if one Part repute him a true Minister or Bishop, and the other a false or none, which is very common? |
| A27006 | what made them Christians but the Baptismal Covenant? |
| A27006 | what may not Pride do? |
| A27006 | what then can I take Comfort in of all my Life? |
| A27006 | when Honorius was by two or three General Councils condemned for a Heretick? |
| A27006 | when will God make them wiser? |
| A27006 | which of you shall the ignorant believe? |
| A27006 | why did not that Synod desire this Curtesy? |
| A27006 | why do we not give them the Right Hand of Fellowship and Brotherhood in the Work of the Lord? |
| A27006 | will they not tell us, our Church is invisible, especially when these few Bishops are dead? |
| A27006 | without Silencing Men, and forbidding them to endeavour Men''s Salvation( before their Crimes are proved such as render them uncapable of that work?) |
| A27006 | would that warrant you to separate from all the rest for my sake? |
| A27006 | would you have Men care no more for their Souls than to cast them away upon the Delusion of such Reasonings as these? |
| A27006 | yea, Bishop Andrews, whom you name? |
| A27006 | yea, and subscribe, that General- councils are not; even in matters of Faith? |

| A27016 | Alas self- destroyers, what do you mean? |
| A27016 | All the question is whether you are willing? |
| A27016 | And I would know, Whether you pretend to any honesty and Conscience, or not? |
| A27016 | And are horses, and kine, and oxen, think you, greater Riches then the Guard and Ministration of the Angels of God? |
| A27016 | And are not the poor and sorrowful there their equals? |
| A27016 | And are not these men of Base dishonourable spirits? |
| A27016 | And are not your bodies for their service? |
| A27016 | And are the torments of Hell so small and tolerable, that thou thinkest a holy life too dear a means for to prevent them? |
| A27016 | And are these Honest men that are the factors of Satan the great deceiver, in cheating themselves and others into Hell? |
| A27016 | And are these Honest? |
| A27016 | And are these cruel persons honest men? |
| A27016 | And are you afraid of altering this course of life, and turning to God, lest it should make you mad? |
| A27016 | And are you that never saw those daies, to be believed before them that saw them? |
| A27016 | And are you yet unresolved, whether Godliness be the most Pleasant Life? |
| A27016 | And art thou so unnatural as to be ungodly, and deny him thy love, and care, and service, that hath made thee? |
| A27016 | And can a man be merry to hear such mirth as this? |
| A27016 | And can an inhabitant of this world have a more honourable imployment then to serve the Lord? |
| A27016 | And can that man much value the pleasure of ungodly men, that doth fore- see this end? |
| A27016 | And can the soul of man be guilty of greater unfaithfulness or treachery? |
| A27016 | And can there be more on earth bestowed on man, then to be made partakers of the Divine nature? |

| A27016 | And can you believe that your life is more Honourable then theirs? |
| A27016 | And can you find in your hearts to lay such a stombling block as this in the way of your miserable acquaintance, to keep them from salvation? |
| A27016 | And consider I pray you, What a Quietness it is that you have, before you are troubled by the Godly? |

| A27016 | And do not heathens confess this by the light of nature: And hath not thy tongue confest it many a time? |
| A27016 | And do you indeed think this so sad a business? |
| A27016 | And do you know any other day that is fitter? |

| A27016 | And do you think men that have tryed it, would so long after more and more, if it were not pleasant? |
| A27016 | And do you think that sin is so lovely a thing that a man can not live merrily without it? |
| A27016 | And dost thou think in thy conscience that the flesh is better worthy of thy Love, and care, and labour ▪ then the Lord? |
| A27016 | And doth not Christ command his servants also to Rejoyce? |
| A27016 | And doth not thy conscience yet bear witness that it is thy duty? |
| A27016 | And first, whereas you say you are not sure of a Life hereafter, I demand of you, Whether you are sure that there is no such life? |
| A27016 | And hast thou devoted all thou hast to him with thy self, to be used according to his Will? |
| A27016 | And hath not God most plainly and frequently in his Word commanded thee a holy life? |
| A27016 | And have the wicked any such attendance for their security? |
| A27016 | And how Pleasant is it to understand all the Helps, Encouragements and Comforts that God hath provided for us in our way? |

| A27016 | And how wicked is that Heart as well as Blind, that is so averse to God and Holiness? |
| A27016 | And if God despise thee, what honour is it to thee to be stout- hearted and high in thy own conceit, and to live applauded by thy self and others? |
| A27016 | And if God were not the Author of the Scripture, how come so many clear and notable Prophesies of it to be fulfilled? |
| A27016 | And if Heaven seem a place of toyle and trouble to you, how just will it be that you are everlastingly shut out? |
| A27016 | And if Heaven will not afford us pleasure, whence shall we expect it? |
| A27016 | And if the Reproach of Christ be greater Riches then all yours, What then is his Life, and Love, and Benefits? |
| A27016 | And if this be indeed thy judgement of thy self, I demand, Whether or no thou be content to be used as a Beast? |

| A27016 | And if you say,[ What is all this to me, any more then to the ungodly world, on whom the wrath of God abideth?] |
| A27016 | And in good sadness, dost thou take Heaven to be the worst place? |
| A27016 | And indeed what will they all do more then dung to procure you the favour of God, or the pardon of your sins? |
| A27016 | And is Holiness so hateful or grievous a thing to thee, that thou wilt venture on Hell it self to avoid it? |
| A27016 | And is all too little for sin and the Devil, and all too much for thy soul and God? |
| A27016 | And is he safe that is in the Devils power? |
| A27016 | And is it God that perswadeth you that his Word is false? |
| A27016 | And is it lawful before God for others to do so by you? |
| A27016 | And is it not a most unreasonable thing for a man that hath no saving grace and holiness at all, to cry out against excess of holiness? |
| A27016 | And is it not a sad prospect to a man that believeth the Word of God, and the life to come, to look upon such a distracted world? |
| A27016 | And is it not more pleasant to know these things, then to possess all the vain delights of the earth? |
| A27016 | And is it not more unnatural to deny compassion to your selves in your own necessity? |
| A27016 | And is it not pitty that such infinite delights should be set before men, and they should lose them all for want of a Heart and appetite to them? |
| A27016 | And is it not the basest injustice and dishonesty to give these to thy flesh, and deny them to him, and think his service an unnecessary thing? |
| A27016 | And is it not worth all our care& labour to look after them? |
| A27016 | And is it unpleasant to pray to a bounteous God, in our necessity, and that for the best and pleasantest things? |
| A27016 | And is it your sport to abuse the Lord? |
| A27016 | And is not Translating( whether by Voice or Writing) a part of that preaching or explication? |
| A27016 | And is not a certain Title to a Lordship or a Kingdom, a greater Treasure then the possession of a straw? |
| A27016 | And is not that an impious heart then, which speaketh thus, or is thus affected, and that an impious life that manifesteth it? |
| A27016 | And is not the reason thousand times stronger for our souls? |
| A27016 | And is one mans judgement more regardable then a hundred, yea, many hundred? |
| A27016 | And is such a transitory life as this, more worthy of your care and greatest diligence, then life eternal? |
| A27016 | And is that an Honest man that would rather cast off Father or Mother then cast off his filthy sins? |
| A27016 | And is that an honest man that professeth himself a Lyer, and taketh all men to be so too? |
| A27016 | And is the Worst more Pleasant to thee then the Best? |
| A27016 | And is this a desirable or rational kind of mirth? |
| A27016 | And is this it that worldlings make such a stir for? |
| A27016 | And is this the case? |
| A27016 | And is this your Covenant- keeping? |
| A27016 | And might you not on this ground also account Christ himself the troubler of the world, as much, and a thousand times more then us? |
| A27016 | And must Paul, and Peter, and the holyest on earth, still seek to grow and labour to be more holy? |
| A27016 | And now who is it that was troublesom, and the cause of evil? |
| A27016 | And now, poor worldling, what is all your Gain and Riches in comparison of the least of these? |
| A27016 | And really do you think if we could speak with Angels or departed Souls, that they would not consent with God and all Believers in their Testimony? |
| A27016 | And shall a blind and wretched worm come after, and dare to contradict him, and unsay all this, and say, What needs so much ado? |
| A27016 | And shall a loytering Rebell that hath wasted so much of his little time, cry out, What needs so much ado? |
| A27016 | And shall men called Christians take the very Infidels for Puritanes, and be worse then Heathens? |
| A27016 | And shall we regard the judgement of such men? |
| A27016 | And should not all thou hast be employed for him? |
| A27016 | And should not your souls then have more of your care and diligence, then corruptible flesh that must turn to dirt? |
| A27016 | And so you should say,[ How sweet is Holiness, when it is so troublesome to those that have it, so much as to fear lest they have it not? |
| A27016 | And that he that loveth and serveth God most, doth yet come exceeding short of his duty? |
| A27016 | And that the best is still too bad? |
| A27016 | And the presence of Satans image upon thy soul? |
| A27016 | And therefore how should they be fit to tell you, what Good is in the way of God, which they never travelled in? |
| A27016 | And this shews that Holiness is most lovely in his eyes: or else why should he be so much troubled, when he doth but doubt whether he be Holy or not? |
| A27016 | And were not the Scriptures presently translated according to the use of the Churches? |
| A27016 | And what Thoughts should so rejoyce the soul as the thoughts of our abode with Christ for ever? |
| A27016 | And what abundant pleasure then hath a Believer? |
| A27016 | And what are all your Treasures to this Treasure? |
| A27016 | And what are the wheels of your watch or clock made for, but to shew you the hour of the day? |
| A27016 | And what but sin was the cause of their captivity, and present desolation? |
| A27016 | And what can be a fitter object of such great content, then to be a member of Christ, and an heir of heaven? |
| A27016 | And what comfort can the fore- thoughts of life everlasting afford a soul in a state of sin, that is passing to everlasting misery? |
| A27016 | And what contention can there be where these Rules are practised? |
| A27016 | And what do we but endeavour to obey them? |
| A27016 | And what do we but practice that which you profess? |
| A27016 | And what else will speak a word against a Holy life, but the Devil, the flesh and wicked men? |
| A27016 | And what is all the Riches of this world, to this Heavenly Treasure, the Spirit of the Lord? |
| A27016 | And what is it that you quarrel with the godly for? |
| A27016 | And what makes them be so much together, if there be not Love among them? |
| A27016 | And what would they not do to promote it, which they could do? |
| A27016 | And when all these are laid aside, how poor and lean a service is it, that is left you to perform to him? |
| A27016 | And when the living God hath told the world his mind and will, shall a sinful man stand up and say, I am wiser then my Maker? |
| A27016 | And where shall we find comfort if not in God? |
| A27016 | And whether is it like that God should reveal his mind to them, or unto wicked wretches? |
| A27016 | And whether it be Credible, that Goodness and Obedience to the Lord, should be the constant certain way to mens undoing, loss or misery? |
| A27016 | And whether it be the Godly or the Ungodly, that are the Troublers of the world? |
| A27016 | And which dost thou think is liker Christ, the holy or the unholy? |
| A27016 | And which of these Societies is liker to be happy? |
| A27016 | And which of these are in the safer state? |
| A27016 | And which part is it? |
| A27016 | And which think you was in the right, the Prophet or the King? |
| A27016 | And who cares then for the dishonours of all the wicked of the world? |
| A27016 | And who gave you these hopes? |
| A27016 | And who shall condemn when it is Christ that justifieth? |
| A27016 | And who would have their Riches on such terms? |
| A27016 | And why do you make them the scorn of your continual malice? |
| A27016 | And why hath he appointed Pastors and Teachers for his Church, if this be all the good they do? |
| A27016 | And why is this foretold them? |
| A27016 | And why should he be so desirous of thy soul, if thou hadst none to lose? |
| A27016 | And why should not all men hold it if it were true? |
| A27016 | And why should not the shame of sin be more loathed then the undeserved shame of honesty? |
| A27016 | And why should we believe you when we see that you judge clean contrarily for your bodies, then you do for your souls? |
| A27016 | And will any be so foolish as to conclude from thence, that Riches are more uncomfortable then beggery? |
| A27016 | And will it prove better indeed to you at the end? |
| A27016 | And will not the everlasting fruit of it trouble you more? |
| A27016 | And will you cast away the only supports of your soul, and sink when the day of suffering comes? |
| A27016 | And will you confirm this slander of the Devil and his instruments? |
| A27016 | And will you go against the light of humane Nature it self? |
| A27016 | And will you grudge to pass through sufferings to glory, and to fow in tears that you may reap in joy? |
| A27016 | And will you profess to Believe these things, and yet say they are naught, or that it was never a good world since they were regarded and practised? |
| A27016 | And will you run from ● … ven and damn your selves, and know that you do so? |
| A27016 | And will you say that Godliness is unpleasant, because it makes a man sorrow for his ungodliness? |
| A27016 | And will you say that Holiness is unpleasant, because men would so fain have more of it? |
| A27016 | And wilt thou needs thy self decide the case? |
| A27016 | And would you have him yet do more to testifie his dislike of sin? |
| A27016 | And would you have us believe you, when you contradict your selves? |
| A27016 | And would you wish me to believe such ignorant men as you, before the God of Heaven that contradicteth you? |
| A27016 | And yet can not Necessity make you cast away your sins, and take up a Holy and Heavenly life? |
| A27016 | And yet dare a fleshly negligent sinner, reproach the diligent seeking of God, and take it for a needless thing, and say, What needs all this ado? |
| A27016 | And yet dare you delay another day before you make so Necessary a change? |
| A27016 | And yet in a case as clear in it self, and much more clear, how few do we prevail with? |
| A27016 | And yet will you at the same time reproach them for being too strict and fearful to offend? |
| A27016 | And yet will you say that it was a better world when there was less of this? |
| A27016 | And yet wilt thou say, that its long of God, or Scripture, or Religion, that the world is naught? |
| A27016 | And yet would you make us believe that you are as good as they, and that Religion makes men worse? |
| A27016 | And yet wouldst thou have such men come shorter? |
| A27016 | And yet wouldst thou have them be such odious hypocrites, as to think they serve God too much already, while they confess that they come so short? |
| A27016 | And ● herefore though in the general notion of Delight they all ageee; yet materially what abundance of ends and gods have carnal men? |
| A27016 | Another saith, Can not you keep your Religion to your selfe; and be Godly with moderation, as your neighbours be? |
| A27016 | Are not Sacraments sweet to you? |
| A27016 | Are not other things Needful in their places? |
| A27016 | Are not other things also Needfull in their places? |
| A27016 | Are not the multitudes of Veins and Arteries in your Bodies, united in the trunks and roots? |
| A27016 | Are not these the Atheists seconds; even next to them that deny that there is any God, or that blasphem ● him? |
| A27016 | Are not those that Believe the Life to come of Holyer lives( for the generality) then those that do not? |
| A27016 | Are the thoughts of God, of Christ, of Heaven sweet to you? |
| A27016 | Are these Honest men that provoke God to forsake the Land, and are the vermine and destroyers of our peace and happiness? |
| A27016 | Are they better that are likest Christ, or they that are most unlike him? |
| A27016 | Are they not wiser then you, and a few drunkards that have scarce wit enough to do the Devils service without such sottishness as shames his cause? |
| A27016 | Are we all by our Baptismal Vow engaged to a needless thing? |
| A27016 | Are you Brutists in opinion? |
| A27016 | Are you agreed then that God shall be your Judge? |
| A27016 | Are you careful and conscionable, humble and holy in your lives? |
| A27016 | Are you for Commodity? |
| A27016 | Are you heartily willing to forsake your sins, and overcome the things of which you so complain? |
| A27016 | Are you not ashamed to see the servants of the Devil and the world so jocund, and your selves so sad that serve the Lord? |
| A27016 | Are you not sure that Christ and his benefits are yours? |
| A27016 | Are you not told that you have your good things here? |
| A27016 | Are you wiser then all these? |
| A27016 | Are you yet resolved to seek this One thing with the chiefest of your desires, and care, and labour, or are you not? |
| A27016 | Are your Graces weak? |
| A27016 | Are your afflictions great? |
| A27016 | Art thou Devoted to God without reserve, as being not thine own but his? |
| A27016 | Art thou better then God, that it should be called dishonesty to wrong thee, and no dishonesty to wrong him, or deny him that which is his own? |
| A27016 | Art thou mere subjected to his Authority, and observant of his Laws and Government, then of mans? |
| A27016 | Art thou not afraid of some sudden vengeance from the Lord, for thus making thy self his open enemy, and contradicting him to his face? |
| A27016 | Art thou not his creature? |
| A27016 | As if she had said,[ Is it a fit thing that both thy self and all this company should be unprovided for, and have neither meat no ● drink? |
| A27016 | As if you had changed for the worse, or would make men think so? |
| A27016 | Ask but a dying man, whether fleshly pleasure or Godliness be the sweeter thing? |
| A27016 | Ask them then which is the better part? |
| A27016 | BUt I know you will say,[ Alas, what need you exhort us to spiritual pleasures and consolations? |
| A27016 | Be not offended if I speak yet plainlyer to you; for in a case so lamentable, how can we be too plain or serious? |
| A27016 | Because we are against sin? |
| A27016 | But What is that wickedness, and in whom? |
| A27016 | But above all, how Pleasant is it to know by faith, the life that we must live with God for ever? |
| A27016 | But are not outward things also necessary: Must we not have food and rayment? |
| A27016 | But are you sure to continue the life you have? |
| A27016 | But do they do this of themselves, or doth God command it them? |
| A27016 | But do we not see that the main Divisions of the world are about Religion? |
| A27016 | But do you not give too great occasion to ignorant spectators to judge otherwise? |
| A27016 | But had you rather have Hell then God and Glory? |
| A27016 | But have you used the Means to make it s ● ● to you, and to be well- resolved? |
| A27016 | But how cometh it to pass that men will make no wiser a choice? |
| A27016 | But how different is the case of the renewed upright soul? |
| A27016 | But how would they abhorr such a motion as this? |
| A27016 | But if Sacraments be so pleasant, why then( saith a disconsolate soul,) have I found no more pleasure or comfort in them? |
| A27016 | But if all these witnesses will not serve you, what shall we say to you? |
| A27016 | But if they all as with one heart and mouth do cry down sin, and cry up Holiness, why should you then refuse their Testimony? |
| A27016 | But if you do not, why will you not hearken to the servants of the Lord, and joy ● with them? |
| A27016 | But if you would have the number of the godly to be greater ▪ why do you not increase it by your joyning with them? |
| A27016 | But is it so with the ungodly? |
| A27016 | But is nothing necessary but this One? |
| A27016 | But is your wickedness your excuse? |
| A27016 | But it is but a few that are of so strict a mind and life; and shall none be saved but these few? |
| A27016 | But suppose them as bad as malice doth imagine: Is that any reason why both they and you should not be better? |
| A27016 | But the question is, Whether it be this Puritanical precise way of serving God which only deserves the name of Holiness? |
| A27016 | But to the soul that hath God for his security, what can be dangerous? |
| A27016 | But to what end should I cite more words of Scripture, for a point which all the Scripture proveth? |
| A27016 | But what can there be of any weight to prohibit a sincere Believer from seasonable spiritual rejoycing? |
| A27016 | But what have you that are ungodly, to answer against all the terrours of the Law? |
| A27016 | But what if it prove true,( as nothing more true) will you sit still, and lose it for you know not what? |
| A27016 | But what is the cause of it? |
| A27016 | But what saith the Holy- Ghost now to this question? |
| A27016 | But what should we do to get into those hearts, to search your sores, and work the cure? |
| A27016 | But who is it long of that you have still such fears? |
| A27016 | But who then shall be Judge? |
| A27016 | But why do you not tell what you have, as well as what you want? |
| A27016 | But yet if all this will not satisfie you, I will come yet lower: Who is it that you would have to be Judge or Witness in th ● … case? |
| A27016 | But you suppose that the Miracles and facts can only be known by a Divine belief of the History? |
| A27016 | But you will aske, Whence is it then that we have the foresaid instunces? |
| A27016 | But you''l ask perhaps,[ When a Sermon and other worldly business fall out at once, are we alwayes bound to hear the Sermon?] |
| A27016 | But( saith Writer) If God had means that the Scripture should be a Law to all, he would not have writ it in a language which they understand not?] |
| A27016 | But( saith he) Can the Miracles confirm the Scripture, when it is the Scripture that reports the Miracles? |
| A27016 | But( saith the impious person) why make they such a difference between themselves and other men? |
| A27016 | Can a man of so many promises be unsafe? |

| A27016 | Is it God on whom you pretend to trust? |
| A27016 | Is it Good or Evil? |
| A27016 | Is it Honoured by you? |
| A27016 | Is it all, or some? |

| A27016 | Is it not as plain a case to a man of judgement,[ Whether Holiness, with Everlasting joys, be better then fleshly pleasures with damnation?] |

| A27016 | Is it not to like a worldly fleshly life better then a Holy life? |

| A27016 | It not the Tree one, that hath many branches? |
| A27016 | Judge now whether the Places and Times are not Best that are most Godly? |
| A27016 | Know ye not your own selves how that Jesus Christ is in you except you be reprobates? |
| A27016 | Lastly, How can that be worst on earth, that is so good in Heaven? |
| A27016 | Let God be Judge, let Christ be Judge; Who can, who dare refuse this Judge? |
| A27016 | Many cast away their souls for Riches, and Honours, and carnal accommodations; but who would do it for poverty, sickness, or disgrace? |

| A27016 | May not men of various complexions be of one Society? |
| A27016 | May not the History confirm the doctrine, and that doctrine oblige us to our duty? |
| A27016 | May you have Christ, and Pardon, and Everlasting life, and will you not have them? |
| A27016 | Methinks you should rather argue on the contrary side,[ How sweet is Health, when the fear of losing it is so troublesom? |
| A27016 | Moreover I demand of you, What is the End of man and all these special faculties, if there be no life for him after this? |
| A27016 | Moreover I demand of you, Whether you take God indeed to be the Governour of this world, or not? |
| A27016 | Moreover I would know of you, Whether you think that there is any other world, which spiritual inhabitants do possess? |
| A27016 | Moreover, do you think that he is an Honest man that is an enemy to the publike Good? |
| A27016 | Moreover, if yet you would have more witness, shall those be heard that have tryed both states; the state of Sin, and the state of Holiness? |
| A27016 | Much more if with the hopes of Life, he had the hopes of all the felicities of Life, and of the perpetuity of all these? |
| A27016 | Must good and bad, must Ministers and raging Hereticks give in their testimony against you, and yet will you not be satisfied and come in? |

| A27016 | My Knowledge that is but little, hath cost me almost forty years hard study? |
| A27016 | My next Question is, Whether you think that God should be Loved, and Obeyed, or not? |
| A27016 | My second Question is,[ Who it is that shall be Judge between us in this debate? |
| A27016 | Nay how could the dispersed persecuted Christians destroy the writings of their reigning enemies? |
| A27016 | No more then a hungry man will ask, How prove you that it is my duty to eat every day? |
| A27016 | Nor none that need a quickening word, to mind them of their everlasting state? |
| A27016 | Not a tongue then shall say, What needs all this ado for heaven? |
| A27016 | Not whether it be your desire that everlasting death should be the wages of sin, but whether it be the Law and unchangeable will of God? |
| A27016 | Now the Question is, Which of these three are in the right? |
| A27016 | Now when the delusions of prosperity are gone, which do men most relish? |
| A27016 | O could I but be taken up with the Love of God, how easily could I spare the Pleasure of the flesh? |
| A27016 | O death where is thy sting? |
| A27016 | O grave where is thy victory? |
| A27016 | O how welcome are converted sinners to the God of mercy? |
| A27016 | O that I were further from my former sinful fleshly state? |
| A27016 | O what a Life should that man live? |
| A27016 | O what a case is that man in that hath so many thousands sins to answer for? |
| A27016 | O what a precious treasure might I here open, to shew you the safety of true believers? |
| A27016 | O what would the damned give for such an offer? |
| A27016 | O what would you your selves give another day for such an offer, if you now neglect it? |
| A27016 | O ● is it fit that all should be laid on me, even more then I can do, while she sits hearing with the Disciples? |
| A27016 | Observe the complaints of penitent souls, whether it be their present Godliness or their former ungodliness, which they lament? |
| A27016 | Oh England, hadst thou none to make the foot- ball of thy scorn, but the servants of the most High God? |
| A27016 | Oh foolish nation, hadst thou none to deride and make thy by- word but Christ himself? |
| A27016 | One saith, What need all this ado? |
| A27016 | One thing is needful; the Good part is that one; and this is tendred to you by the Lord: What is it then that you do make choice of? |
| A27016 | Open the Books of the wisest men, and see which side it is that they are on? |
| A27016 | Or are you hardened to perdition? |
| A27016 | Or at least, have you not been negligent in the review and after improving of the Ordinances? |
| A27016 | Or can the most sanctified person do any more, if he were perfect? |
| A27016 | Or canst thou bear the wrath of God Almighty? |
| A27016 | Or dare you stifle those thoughts and motions that would tend to better purposes? |
| A27016 | Or do we not shew them you in the Scripture? |
| A27016 | Or for that which is a matter of no delight? |
| A27016 | Or if I had lost the love of all men, and could say[ that I shall everlastingly enjoy the Love of God?] |
| A27016 | Or is it any great matter that you are called to lose, for the obtaining of 〈 … 〉 that you are not sure of? |
| A27016 | Or is it not to know the way to life eternal? |
| A27016 | Or is it the frequent meditating on such high and holy things? |
| A27016 | Or love him more then he deserveth? |
| A27016 | Or rather doth not sin and the world even brutifie you, and make you lay by the use of your reason, and live as if you knew not what you know? |
| A27016 | Or rather is not the Just man the Honest man, that will give every man his own? |
| A27016 | Or rather, have 〈 … 〉 not drowned their reason in sensuality, and wilfully poiso ● … th malicious aversness to God and Holiness? |
| A27016 | Or serve him more faithfully then th ● ● art bound, and he is worthy of? |
| A27016 | Or should you make light of it? |
| A27016 | Or that it was not worth ten thousand times more? |
| A27016 | Or that others should be Godly? |
| A27016 | Or then a sick man will say, How prove you that I am bound to seek to the Physicion, to go or send to his house, and to look after him? |
| A27016 | Or what Beauty is in the face of Christ and Glory, which they never had an eye of faith to see? |
| A27016 | Or what Gain is in the Heavenly Treasure ▪ which they never traded for? |
| A27016 | Or what if some of those that you reproach, are mistaken in some point, and 〈 ◊ 〉 that to be a sin that is none? |
| A27016 | Or what if you think it to be no sin which they scruple? |
| A27016 | Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? |
| A27016 | Or what sweetness is in the Hidden Manna, which they never tasted? |
| A27016 | Or who can take us out of his hands? |
| A27016 | Or will any but a brain- sick person hearken to such shameless men as these? |
| A27016 | Or will you blame him that cares for his salvation, to make as sure of it as he can? |
| A27016 | Or would God lend to any man his Power to confirm a false doctrine to the world? |
| A27016 | Or would you be believed when you say, that your hearts are set on Heaven, when you have more delight in talking of any earthly trifle? |
| A27016 | Or wouldst thou have others judge better of thee then thy self? |
| A27016 | Reader, our business is but to enquire, What it is that is Best for Man to set his heart on and seek after in his Life, and Enjoy for ever? |
| A27016 | Refuse not then the best Commodity? |
| A27016 | Seeing you have more cause of joy then sorrow, should you not distribute your affections proportionably as there is cause? |
| A27016 | Shall Heathens, Jews, and Infidels be Judges? |
| A27016 | Shall half a dozen desperate apostates of ungodly lives, seem wiser to you then all the world? |
| A27016 | Shall it be highest in your mouthes, and lowest in your hearts and lives? |
| A27016 | Shall it have the first place in your prayers, and the last in your labours? |
| A27016 | Shall these fellows come in at the end of the world, and call the Apostles and all the Churches of all ages Puritanes, for keeping holy the Lords day? |
| A27016 | Shall they confess their failings, and reproach those that endeavour to avoid the like? |
| A27016 | Shall we appeal to the very Things themselves, and to the daily experience of the world? |
| A27016 | Should a man going up the sleepest hill, when it is for his life, be afraid of going too fast? |
| A27016 | Should not he have all that is Lord of all? |
| A27016 | Should nothing restrain them but want of Power to overcome you? |
| A27016 | Should we not endeavour to imitate our pattern? |
| A27016 | So have I. Hast thou had any private way of Learning that no man knoweth? |
| A27016 | So many ungodly men as there are, so many Ends and Interests: And how then can there be a Possibility of Unity? |
| A27016 | Sodome had one Lot, and his family in it Well? |
| A27016 | Some by- matters you may easily forget or over- look: but can you do so by your end, which hath been your chiefest care and business? |
| A27016 | Storms may arise that may affright us: but how quickly will they all be over? |
| A27016 | Tell me, thou that blasphemest the holy commands of thy Creator? |
| A27016 | That is not content to wrong the Lord, but would have others wrong him also? |
| A27016 | That other things have all stooped unto this One, and served under it? |
| A27016 | That they and all ungodly men are Partial in the case, and 〈 … 〉 unfit to be witnesses, or Judges? |
| A27016 | That this One thing hath been more esteemed by you, than all the world besides? |
| A27016 | The Question is, Whether they are True or false Imaginations? |
| A27016 | The first is, Whether thou art willing to know the Truth, and resolved to choose the best part when thou knowest it? |
| A27016 | The publike worship being all thus sweet, how sweet are the Lords days, these holy seasons that are wholly consecrated to this work? |
| A27016 | The use that Satan would have you make of these very words is, to go away with more dejection, and to say,[ What a wretch am I? |
| A27016 | Then judge thy self whether a Holy or a worldly life be better? |
| A27016 | They are Blind by nature, and more blind by customary sin: And must a Blind man be your Judge or witness, in a case of everlasting moment? |
| A27016 | They are diligent seekers; but for what? |
| A27016 | They are still doing; but what are they doing? |
| A27016 | Think not that a Judas in Christs family will Justifie you for making a scorn of his family, and persecuting his disciples? |
| A27016 | This Covenant in question that engageth you to God, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost? |
| A27016 | This, or to this purpose, would the answer of an experienced person be, if you should ask him, Which is the better way? |
| A27016 | Thou knowest not but a Commission is gone out for death to strike thee in thy next recreation, or fit of mirth? |
| A27016 | Thou wilt take any medicine to cure but the gowt or stone, if once thou have felt them? |
| A27016 | Thy unresolvedness proves thee blind and partial, and very much forsaken by the spirit of light: And should such a one be judge? |
| A27016 | To all Eternity it shall be partly left to the judgement of thy Conscience, whether sin or Holiness be better? |
| A27016 | To run up and down for I know not what, and to leave that undone that you were created and redeemed for? |
| A27016 | W ● … men refuse, and obstinately against all perswasions refuse a Holy life, if they took it practically to be Best for them? |
| A27016 | Was it Lot, or was it Sodom? |
| A27016 | Was it Noah or the world of the ungodly that brought down the flood? |
| A27016 | Was it not enough that God was sleighted by them, and his service turned out of doors, but it must be made a by- word? |
| A27016 | Was it only that thou mightest eat, and drink, and sleep, and go up and down, and fill up a room among the living? |
