A28949 | Inches high? |
A28980 | And then why should we deny, that also in compounded bodies those Qualities may be( sometimes at least) produced by the same or the like Causes? |
A39594 | 1 IF this Water can be made in sufficient quantities to serve the Vses of any Ship at Sea? |
A39594 | Admitting this Preparation of Water may be made, and insufficient Quantities, it may be doubted whether it be wholsome? |
A39594 | Can this Engine be of use in Stormy- weather? |
A39594 | The Operation being by Fire, it may endanger the Ship, and the Smoak be very offensive? |
A39594 | Will not the Charge of this Instrument and Materials belonging to it be very great? |
A39594 | Will not the Fewel be very Chargeable, and take up much room in the Ship? |
A39594 | Will not the Ingredients take up much Room, and be very Chargeable? |
A69611 | And then why should we deny, that also in compounded bodies those Qualities may be( sometimes at least) produced by the same or the like Causes? |
A28968 | But the memorable Circumstances, for whose sake I mention this Narrative, were these: When I ask''d him how big the Bone was, that was last taken out? |

A29013 | He that planted the Ear, shall He not hear? |
A29013 | He that teacheth Man Knowledge, shall not He know? |
A28956 | And our Author himself speaks somewhere at the same rate, where to the Question, Why the walls that inclose fired Gun- powder must be blown asunder? |
A28956 | And why? |
A28956 | For what does their being indivisible do in this case, but make it the less intelligible how they can fill above a hundred parts of space? |

A29017 | Besides that, I much doubt, whether his Definition be not Untrue as well as Obscure, for to the Question, Qualis res est? |
A29017 | You will also ask, why I repeated not the Experiment? |
A28958 | But can that be worthy to be assented to, which is liable to Objections and Inconveniences, which the maintainers confess they know not how to avoid? |
A28958 | But have not you formerly advised us not to suffer our selves to be impos''d upon by proofless Assertions, even about privileg''d things? |
A28958 | But, Arnobius, will not this Doctrine make us very liable to have falsities imposed on us at the pleasure of bold and dictating men? |
A28958 | I suppose I may now ask what is the second sort of Things above Reason? |
A28958 | One may then, without surprising you, ask what kind of proofs those may be? |
A28965 | And how could those parts invade those of the Metal inclos''d in a Glass, otherwise than by passing through the pores of that Glass? |
A66409 | And why may not the Creator Reveal his Will to the Creature, when one Creature thus can do it to another? |

A66409 | Why should this be questioned, when we may be certain Evidences know that a person is sent from God? |
A28990 | But what, replies Irene, if the attempt you design, is far more likely to destroy you, than to save Didymus? |
A28990 | What? |
A28990 | and what Excuse can I have, without so much as the pretence of acting under Authority, to destroy an Innocent Person? |
A29001 | And, Why I venture my unfinished Collections about it, abroad so soon? |
A29001 | For what Reasons I have treated of it after the manner to be met with in the ensuing Book? |
A66395 | And if so it be, then what an Obligation is there upon us to observe it? |
A66395 | And if the Question should be put, as it was by those whom John the Baptist sent, Art thou he that should come? |

A66395 | And what can make them happy, if the Order and Method of Salvation revealed in Scripture be not sufficient for it? |
A66395 | And where not? |
A66395 | Look we upon the Morality of the greatest Philosophers, how poor is that to the Doctrine of our Saviour and the Apostles? |
A66395 | Or who durst so much as enquire, where the Fear of Religion restrained them? |
A69557 | But by the way; what if it be made appear, that there is really such a Power of Gravity perpetually acting in the constitution of the present System? |
A69557 | But how could Particles so widely dispersed combine into that closeness of Texture? |
A69557 | But then how rarely would there be any clashing at all? |
A69557 | But then why did they not continue their descent, till they were contiguous to the Sun; whither both Mutual Attraction and Impetus carried them? |
A69557 | How many thousand years might expire, before those solitary Vessels should happen to strike one against the other? |
A69557 | Is it not now utterly incredible, that our two Vessels, placed there Antipodes to each other, should ever happen to concur? |
A69557 | Now how is it possible that these things should be effected by any Material and Mechanical Agent? |
A69557 | Now what Natural Cause can overcome Nature it self? |
A69557 | Or were each formed in the same Orbs, in which they now move? |
A69557 | Was it nearer to the Sun, than the present distances are? |
A69557 | What is it that holds and keeps them in fixed Stations and Intervals against an incessant and inherent Tendency to desert them? |
A69557 | how very rarely in comparison to the number of Atoms? |
A66396 | And therefore why are the Apostles less inspired for that reason than the Prophets? |
A66396 | He that ministreth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doth he it by the works of the Law, or the hearing of Faith? |

A66396 | How we do prove the Books of Scripture, which contain the matter of Revelation, to have been of Divine Inspiration? |
A66396 | How we prove these Books that are now extant, and received by the Christian Church as Canonical, to be those very Books? |
A66396 | but, Whether the matters of that supposed Revelation, and contained in those Books, were true, and that those Authors were sincere Relaters of it? |
A66396 | or, Whether those whose Authors are not known, were of the same condition with those that were known? |
A28944 | And how comes it else to pass, that aqueous Liquors so readily diffuse themselves into, and so exquisitely mingle with one another? |
A28944 | And when I askt him how long he had actually abstain''d not barely from drink, but from thirsting after it? |
A28944 | And when I askt him whether in that hot Summers day that preceded the evening wherein he happen''d to tell me this, he had not drunk at all? |
A28944 | For the state of the Question was,( as you may remember) this, Whether there be among Bodies any absolute Rest? |

A71259 | ? |
A71259 | And then the Question is, What is that Evidence which will be sufficient for them to ground their Belief upon? |
A71259 | And what Evidence can be given of Matters transacted 1600 Years ago, but Testimony, and what is usually called Moral Evidence? |
A71259 | And what greater Evidence of this can be desired, than when the Persons Inspired live by the best Rules, as well as give them? |
A71259 | And what is there more material, and of greater Importance, than to be satisfied about the Origine of all things, and how they came at first to be? |
A71259 | Lastly, What more desirable, than to know the Certainty and Condition of a Future State, and how we may attain to the Happiness of it? |
A71259 | Or to justify the Truth of a self- evident Proposition? |

A66386 | But it may be said, What is all this Reasoning to Matter of Fact? |
A66386 | If he was to teach himself, how could he know that he was able to speak; or how can we think he would begin his Conversation by an attempt that way? |

A66386 | What Expression could thereby be given, suppose, of mens gratitude to God for their Being, and their Preservation? |
A66386 | What an infinite number of intercurrent Passages must there be before it be brought in its proper season to its accomplishment? |
A66386 | Will I eat the flesh of bulls, and drink the blood of goats? |
A66386 | or whether it was by Revelation from God, and of his special Institution? |
A66386 | whether the Invention of some Eminent Persons, suppose, in those early Times? |
A28985 | AS to your Question, What I think the Air to be? |
A28985 | An intelligent Gentleman that liv''d in Africk, being asked by me, how far off he was able to see the Top of the Pico of Teneriff at Sea? |
A28985 | And being asked what kind of Sickness it was they felt? |
A28985 | And if it be demanded why this does not happen elsewhere as well as at Aleppo and Smyrna? |
A28985 | And the second; How it comes by its saline Substance? |
A28985 | And when I asked him, whether he had at any time been subject to that Mischief himself? |
A28985 | And when I demanded whether he tasted the Dew, to observe the Saltness of it? |
A28985 | Being asked, whether he was sick or no in the Ascent? |
A28985 | His great Care was to enquire of these People, what they had amongst them of Tradition, concerning the embalming and Preservation of these Bodies? |
A28985 | I ask''d Mr. Sydenham what was the Estimate made by the most knowing Persons of the Island, of the Height of the Hill? |
A28985 | I asked him also from what Distance the Top of the Sugar- Loaf could be seen at Sea, according to the common Opinion of Sea- men? |
A28985 | The first; Whether the Aerial Salts be of differing kind? |
A28985 | Upon which occasion I enquired of a very intelligent Scotish Noble- man, how far the Observation held in his Country? |
A28985 | When I asked whether the Air in those Places, where the Sun did not beat, was considerably cold? |
A28985 | Whether in a longer time the Coloration would not have been made? |
A28985 | and if so, which they are? |
A28966 | And if also you further ask, why Melody and sweet things do generally delight us? |
A28966 | And shall not we inquire, whether or no in that future state of things, which shall never have an end, we shall know one another? |
A28966 | And to let you see, that many of his Praises were such, as the Naturalist may best give, he exclaims in one place, How manifold are thy works, O Lord? |
A28966 | But if it be demanded, why then a Discourse finished so long ago, did not come abroad much sooner? |
A28966 | Nay, why a little more than enough of some Objects that produce pleasure, will produce pain? |
A28966 | Or whether God, as Absolute and Supreme Governour of the World, might have freely remitted the Penalties of sin? |
A28966 | Or whether all those things, as antiquated and slight, shall be obliterated, and, as it were, swallowed up? |
A28966 | Or why the smell of Castor, or Assa foetida, produces in most persons that which they call a Stink, rather than a Perfume? |
A28966 | Why among the familiarly visible Stars, there are so many in some parts of the Sky, and so few in others? |
A28966 | Why so many of those Celestial Lights are so plac''d, as not to be visible to our naked eyes, nor even when they are help''d by ordinary Telescopes? |
A28966 | Why their Sizes are so differing, and yet not more differing? |
A28966 | and discords and bitter things do generally displease us? |
A29010 | * So Junius and Tremelius translate the place, Quàm ampla sunt opera tua, O Jehova, quàm ea omnia sapienter fecisti? |
A29010 | And pray''how much is that worse than our eating raw Fish, as we do in eating these Oysters? |
A29010 | And what, I pray you, has Custom to do with Oysters? |
A29010 | But may not I also know what Thoughts this worthy Theme suggested to Lindamor? |
A29010 | But perhaps this may be much of the nature of the other Question, Whether a marri''d life or a single ought rather to be chosen? |
A29010 | HOw prettily has curious Nature painted this gawdy Fruit? |
A29010 | How few are Destroy''d by that incurable Disease, in comparison to those that Dye before they attain it? |
A29010 | How frequently falls it out thus in our Journeys towards Heaven? |
A29010 | How importunate is he to be imploy''d about bringing me this Glove? |
A29010 | How many of his glorious Attributes are there, for whose Knowledge we must be beholden, rather to his VVritten, than his Created Word? |
A29010 | How vast a Debt of Gratitude then do I owe to God? |
A29010 | IS not this Closet strangely fine, Eusebius? |
A29010 | O Grave, where is thy Victory? |
A29010 | VVhy should''st thou not, O my Soul, instruct thy Gratitude to tread in the steps of thy Civility? |
A29010 | and how extremely do I fall short of acquitting my self of it? |
A29010 | and how tedious a Winter have we indur''d this Summer? |
A29010 | and with what Clamours, and how many Fawnings, does he court me to fling it him? |
A29010 | or the son of man that thou makest account of him? |
A28981 | And certainly if we must answer at the Last Day, for every Idle Word, how much more will that Account be exacted of us for every Idle Oath? |
A28981 | And he that hath once fram''d mishapen Characters, be ashamed afterwards to write a Neater Hand? |
A28981 | And is it then either the part of a Good Man to make Wishes that are unlawful, or for a Wise Man to frame Desires of which he need repent the Grant? |
A28981 | And who would swallow Poyson, because obliged seldom to repeat his draught? |
A28981 | And will you quench the Spirit, and refrain from being virtuous, lest men should think you know your self to be so? |
A28981 | Besides, when did Transgression by President turn Innocence? |
A28981 | But admit you could not own Repentance, without being fancied vain, must the fear of others sins continue( those that are immediately) yours? |
A28981 | But admitting( as the dispersedness of this Vice too often forces us) the supposal of this Plea to be true, yet will the Inference prove consequent? |
A28981 | For how would such dare to offend, that are sure to find no Countenance or Protection? |
A28981 | For should God( as we are sure he may, and know not but that he will) give the Devil leave to take him at his word, in what a case were he? |
A28981 | Have Innocence and Vice then so chang''d natures, that he that did not blush to commit sin, should blush to forsake it? |
A28981 | I''m sure it should not be so; but grant it were, Will you pretend to Nobility, by that alone which is not the property, but the vice of Gentlemen? |
A28981 | Is not yours a holy consequence, I have been wicked long, therefore I will continue so still? |
A28981 | Lastly,( replies the Swearer) All this I confess to be very true; but what would you have me to do? |
A28981 | Must then Vices be arguments of the possession of that dignity, that Vertue is the sole true means to purchase? |
A28981 | Must then that Bashfulness which is both the Livery and Guard of Virtue, oppose our addresses to it? |
A28981 | Nay, how often has Cleander in his Passion wish''d things, whose Accomplishment himself confesses would have made him miserable? |
A28981 | To this I may reply in the terms of the Apostle, Am I therefore your enemy because I tell you the truth? |
A28981 | True; but( may you answer) there are others that swear as much as I, and oftner; why then are not they more reprehended for more frequent Faults? |
A28981 | Well,( may you reply) but I scorn to swear falsly; and what know to be true, why may I not safely swear? |
A28981 | What Trifle could appear slighter than the eating of an Apple? |
A28981 | Why must your Tongue fly in your Maker''s face, and vilify his Sacred Name, because your Dice turn up Size- ace rather than Quatre- trey? |
A28981 | Will you rather let others sin by imitation of your bad actions, than in their misconstruction of your good ones? |
A28981 | and entitle your self to that illustrious Quality, by that which, in God''s Eye, makes them unworthy( if not divests them) of it? |
A28981 | and what was unlawful in the Act, become legitimate in the Repetition? |
A28981 | how much more easy is it to make men condemn their Sins, than to persuade them to forsake them? |
A28981 | how seldom does the silence of his Conscience make for the Swearer? |
A28939 | A. Quid tinus? |
A28939 | A. Quomodo ingreditur istuo ventus? |
A28939 | Ad probandam Universi Plenitudinem, nullum nostin''Argumentum cogens? |
A28939 | An qui spatia in Aere dari vacua contendunt, in illo Aere solo dari negant qui Marmora illa conjuncta circumdat? |
A28939 | B. Quando verò eadem uno instante divellere conaris, nonne multo major vis adhibenda est; Quam ob causam? |
A28939 | But because it will probably be demanded, why on a Tract that is but short, my Animadversions should take up so much room? |
A28939 | Cur Principiis ab illo positis non estis usi? |
A28939 | Cur ergo non ascendebat Aqua ad ea implenda absque suctione? |
A28939 | Cut non inde potius incepistis ubi ille desiit? |
A28939 | Does this Ratiocination seem to you as cogent, as it did to the Proposer of it? |
A28939 | For answer to it our Author says: B. Nonne animalia sic inclusa insugunt in Pulmones Aerem vehementissimè motum? |
A28939 | For in case the Air can succeed as fast at the sides as the divulsion is made, a Vacuist may demand, whence comes the difficulty of the separation? |
A28939 | MAy one, without too bold an inquisitiveness, ask, what Book you are reading so attentively? |
A28939 | Mundi autem Plenitudine supposita, quomodo demonstrabis possibile omnino esse ut divellantur? |
A28939 | Nonne causa hujus rei haec est, Quod labenti Marmori succedit Aer,& relictum locum semper implet? |
A28939 | Nonne perpetuo attenuatur donec in filum evadat tenuissimum,& omni dato crasso tenuius,& sie tandem divellitur? |
A28939 | Quid ad hoc Respondebis? |
A28939 | Quid enim aut attrahere aut impellere suctorem potuit ad locum illum unde retractus erat, si Cylindrus fuisset vacuus? |
A28939 | Quid ergo agit? |
A28939 | Quid ergo? |
A28939 | Quid impedit quo minus vacuum illud cum Aere mundano permisceatur?] |
A28939 | Quà, nisi per ipsum corpus Argenti vivi Aerem urgentis? |
A28939 | Quî fieri hoc potest nisi factum sit Vacuum ab exuctione Aeris, in cujus locum possit Aqua illa ascendere? |
A28939 | This is a Paradox, and therefore I shall desire to know on what you ground it? |
A28939 | What did you mainly drive at in this Experiment? |
A28939 | What induces you to dislike his Explication of it? |
A28939 | What progress have you made in it? |
A28939 | quorsum autem tantus apparatus& sumptus Machinarum factu difficilium, ut eatenus tantum productis quantum ante prodi ● rat Hobbius? |
A28939 | sed quâ, inquies, viâ in illum locum successurus est? |
A29031 | And for whose sake then was the World made? |
A29031 | And next, how inconsiderable, alass, are these supposed Productions of Chance, in comparison of the elaborate Contrivances of Nature in Animals? |
A29031 | And of the known American Simples, How many latent Virtues does experience from time to time discover? |
A29031 | And that even very hurtful Liquors( and why not then some peccant matter in the body?) |
A29031 | And when I ask''d, why he made no triall upon Beasts? |
A29031 | For if Sweat and Exercise, as such, were all that relieved him, why might not Sudorificks, or le ● ping without Musick, excuse the Need of Fidlers? |
A29031 | For to instance now in Cicero only; Quorum igitur causâ( saies that great Orator) effectum esse mundum? |
A29031 | Should not rather the Edition have been delay''d, untill it might have come out together with The second Section of the second Part? |
A29031 | Suppose them to be publisht, But why now? |
A29031 | What does he that contemplates the Nature of the Universe, of honor unto God? |
A29031 | Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this? |
A29031 | Why so soon? |
A29031 | quibus paulatim ad manum traditis& tandem quasi in succum& sanguinem à rationalibus conversis doctorum scholae& libri superbiunt? |
A29052 | A. Quid tenus? |
A29052 | A. Quomodo ingreditur istuc ventus? |
A29052 | Ad probandam Universi Plenitudinem, nullum nostin Argumentum cogens? |
A29052 | An qui spatia in Aere dari vacua contendunt, in illo Aere solo dari negant qui Marmora illa conjuncta circumdat? |
A29052 | And then I demand, what becomes of the Air, that has been by heat driven out, and is by the Hermetical Seal kept out of the cavity of the Bubble? |
A29052 | B. Quando verò eadem uno instante divellere conaris, nonne multo major vis adhibenda est; Quam ob causam? |
A29052 | But because it will probably be demanded, why on a Tract that is but short, my Animadversions should take up so much room? |
A29052 | C ● ● ergo non ascendebat Aqua ad ea imple ● da absque suctione? |
A29052 | Cur Principiis ab illo positis non estis usi? |
A29052 | Cur n ● n inde potiùs incepistis ubi ille defiit? |
A29052 | Does this Ratiocination ● eem to you as cogent, as it did to the Proposer of it? |
A29052 | For answer to it our Author says: B. Nonne animalia sic inclusa insugunt in Pulmones Aerem vehementissimè motum? |
A29052 | For in case the Air can succeed as fast at the sides as the divulsion is made, a Vacuist may demand, whence comes the difficulty of the separation? |
A29052 | MAy one, without too bold an inquisitiveness, ask, what Book you are reading so attentively? |
A29052 | Mundi autem Plenitudine suppos ● ta, quomodo demonstrabis possibile omnino esse ut divellantur? |

A29052 | Quà, nisi per ipsum corpus Argenti vivi Aerem urgentis? |
A29052 | Quî fieri hoc potest nisi factum sit Vacuum ab exuctione Aeris, in euj ● ● locum possit Aqua illa ascendere? |
A29052 | This is a Paradox, and therefore I shall desire to know on what you ground it? |
A29052 | What did you mainly drive at in this Experiment? |
A29052 | What induces you to dislike his Explication of it? |

A29052 | sed quâ, inquies, viâ in illum locum successurus est? |
A28982 | And now, if it be demanded, what Benefit may redound to a Reader from the Explications given in the foregoing Seventh Section? |
A28982 | And whether it performs its Operations by virtue of an internal Principle, such as the Spring of it ought to be? |
A28982 | And who informs it, whether that Place lies on this hand of it, or that hand of it, or above it, or beneath it? |
A28982 | And, Why does she furiously break in pieces a thin seal''d Bubble, such as I come from speaking of, to hinder a Vacuum? |
A28982 | But then I demand, Whence comes this Rebound, i. e. this Motion upwards? |
A28982 | Equidem Vnicum esse Deum summum atque magnificum, quis tam demens, tam mente captus, ut neg ● t esse certissimum? |
A28982 | Estque Dei sedes, ubi Terra,& Pontus,& Aer, Et Coelum,& Virtus: Superos quid quaerimus ultra? |
A28982 | For, who can clearly conceive an Order or Kind of Beings, that shall be Real Substances, and yet neither Corporeal nor Immaterial? |
A28982 | Fourthly, It may likewise be ask''d, How the Laws of Motion come to be observ''d or maintain''d by a Corporeal Being? |
A28982 | I demand then o ● Those, that assert such a Nature as is vulgarly describ''d, whether it be a Substance or an Accident? |
A28982 | If it be said to be an Immaterial Substance, I shall further ask, Whether it be a Created One, or not? |
A28982 | If the past Discourse give rise to a Question, Whether the World, and the Creatures that compose it, are as perfect as they could be made? |
A28982 | Quid est autem cur non existimes, in eo divini aliquid existere, quae Dei pars est? |
A28982 | Thirdly, He may also demand, Whence Nature, being a Material Substance, comes itself to have Motion, whereof''t is said to be the Principle? |
A28982 | To which, within a few lines after, he adds, Vis illam Naturam vocare? |
A28982 | Vis illam vocare Mundum? |
A28982 | Whether Nature be a Thing, or a Name? |
A28982 | and in general, from the Troublesome, as well as Free, Enquiry, whereof they make a considerable Part? |
A28982 | or of an external one, such as one may think the appended Weight? |
A29026 | And if any, what? |
A29026 | And if it do, in what Qualities, and to what degree of alteration? |
A29026 | And if not whether it arise in a Hillock, a Hill, or a Mountain? |
A29026 | And though the Title, these belong to, be the Thirteenth in the Scheme( of the II Part,) yet I thought fit to premise these Notes to all the rest? |
A29026 | And what are the Qualities of the neighbouring Soil, and the adjacent Country? |
A29026 | And what inconveniences may attend the neglect of such preparation especially in gross, foul, or much obstructed Bodies? |
A29026 | And what these Minerals are, whether copperish, ferrugineous, Marcasitical,& c. And whether the Ores do, or do not, abound in the Metalline portion? |
A29026 | By what waies we may know the predominancy of Acidity in the Salt proposed? |
A29026 | How much the greater or lesser length of time, spent in taking the Water, conduces to its good Effects? |
A29026 | How to examine with evaporation, whether the Mineral Water contain common Salt, and if it do, whether it contains but little or much? |
A29026 | In what climate and parallel, or in what degree of Latitude, the Mineral Water do''s spring up, or stagnate? |
A29026 | In what stated Diseases, and in what particular cases, the Mineral Water is proper, or to be suspected of being dangerous, if not certainly hurtful? |
A29026 | To examine whether the Saline part be, ex praedominio, acid, alcalizate, or adiaphorous? |
A29026 | To what Temperaments and constitutions the Mineral Water propos''d is the most proper, to what less proper, and to what noxious or inconvenient? |
A29026 | What advantages may accrue, from preparing the Patients Body before he enters upon his course of drinking the Waters? |

A29026 | What may encourage us to undertake the Natural History of Mineral Waters? |
A29026 | Whether any thing, and if any thing, what can be discover''d in the Mineral Water by the help of the best Microscopes adapted to view Liquors? |
A29026 | Whether any, occult vertues, or other hidden Qualities, can be discovered in the Mineral Water? |
A29026 | Whether the Mineral Water be more easy to be heated and cool''d, and to be dilated and condens''d than common Water? |
A29026 | Whether the Saline part will shoot into Crystals or no? |
A29026 | Whether the Spring- head, or other receptacle, do chiefly regard the East, the West, the North, or the South? |
A29026 | Whether the Water be found in a Plain or Valley? |
A29026 | Whether there be any necessity, or great use, of taking Physick after one has done drinking the Water? |

A29007 | A. Nonne visionem fieri concedunt vestri per actionem continuam ab objecto ad oculum? |
A29007 | A. Quid aliud nisi fluidi quidem, Quies, duri autem, Motus quidam ad illum effectum producendum idoneus? |
A29007 | A. Quid ergo tali aquae motui conferre posse putas majorem vel minorem Atmosphaerae gravitatem? |
A29007 | A. Quid tenus; Quorsum autem tantus apparatus& sumptus machinarum factu difficilium, ut eatenus tantum prodiretis quantum ante prodierat Hobbius? |
A29007 | An creari fluida maxima potuere, ut aether, minima non potuere? |
A29007 | And according to this Doctrine they may ask Mr. Hobbs, why a motion may not be made through a Vacuum or non corpus? |
A29007 | And our Author himself speaks somewhere at the same rate, where to the Question, Why the walls that inclose fired Gun- powder must be blown asunder? |
A29007 | And whereas Mr. Hobbs urges this other Argument against the Vacuists, Praeterea dic mihi, bullientem aquam potuistin''conspicere? |
A29007 | And why? |
A29007 | B. Quidni? |
A29007 | Besides, tell me, could you see the water bubbling in that manner? |
A29007 | But if it be demanded, why then I did not make it fitter for the Press before I sent it thither? |
A29007 | But what then? |
A29007 | Could great fluids, as the AEther, be created; and could not small ones? |
A29007 | Credin''tu,& c. Do you think these Animals were therefore so quickly killed because they wanted Air? |
A29007 | Do not your Associates grant that Vision is made by a continued action from the object unto the eye? |
A29007 | Do they not also think action to be motion, and all motion to be of some body? |
A29007 | For if it be demanded what then could cause the fore- mention''d subsiding of the Water? |
A29007 | For if the Watering Pot were tall enough, what Reason is there, why the Water should not run out at the Holes of it? |
A29007 | For what does their being indivisible do in this case, but make it the less intelligible how they can fill above a hundred parts of space? |
A29007 | Haerent hic nostri:( which why he sayes I know not) quomodo haec expedies tu? |
A29007 | Haerent hic,& c. Here our men are at a stand: How will you expedite this difficulty? |
A29007 | Having ask''d this Question, Sed vis illa elastica quam in aëre esse dicunt, nihilne ad marmor sustinendum conferre potest? |
A29007 | How therefore could the motion be derived from the object, the water, unto your eyes through a Vacuum, that is somewhat that is not a body? |
A29007 | If it be, how chance a sufficient weight hung to the lower Marble can immediatley draw them asunder? |
A29007 | In mala,& c. In a bad Cause they can do no other; but who compell''d them to undertake a bad Cause? |
A29007 | In what therefore can the greater or lesser motion of the Atmosphere promote such a motion as this? |
A29007 | Intellexti,& c. Have you understood my Hypotheses? |
A29007 | Mr. Hobbs''s Theory of Fluidity and Firmness is thus delivered by himself; B. Quaenam duri& fluidi sunt principia? |
A29007 | Nonne etiam putant actionem esse motum,& omnem motum esse corporis? |
A29007 | Quod si fluidum fiat ex non fluidis, ut vos dicitis,& durum ex duris tantum, nonne sequitur ex fluidis primis neque fluidum fieri neque durum? |
A29007 | Quomodo ergo potuit ab objecto, nempe aqua, ad oculos tuos motus per vacuum( i d est, per non corpus) derivare? |
A29007 | Quomodo ergo sub aquam vivunt Urinatores, quorum aliqui( assueti à pueritiâ) caruere aëre per horam integram? |
A29007 | Right; but of what figure? |
A29007 | Sed cujus figurae? |
A29007 | Sed vis,& c. But can the Spring, which they say is in the Air, confer nothing to the holding up the Marble? |
A29007 | Si dura,& c. If hard bodies are made out of parts originally hard, why are not fluid bodies made of parts originally fluid? |
A29007 | To what end such preparation and charge for Engines difficult to be made, to make no further discovery than Mr. Hobbs had made before you? |
A29007 | Vnde contingit hoc? |
A29007 | What else? |
A29007 | When is it that we may truly say of a man that he is dead, or( which is the same) hath expired his Soul? |
A29007 | Whence comes this? |
A29007 | Whether the Mercury placed in its own station is upheld by the external Air, or suspended there by an internal Cord? |
A29007 | Whether the expansion of the Flame would be considerably varied by the absence of so much of the ambient Air as was drawn out of the Receiver? |
A29007 | Why did you not rather begin where he ended? |
A29007 | Why so far? |
A29007 | cur non inde potius incepistis ubi ille desiit? |
A29007 | cur principiis ab eo positis non estis usi? |
A29007 | nay, how it can naturally be stopt in vacuo where there is nothing to resist it? |
A23752 | 12. but what impression can a sword make on a body of air; which still slips from, and eludes its thrusts? |
A23752 | 2 NOW what method imaginable can there be used to rational creatures of more sorce and energy? |
A23752 | 24. ye have taken away my Gods which I have made, and the Priest, and are gon away, and what have I more? |
A23752 | 31, 32. with what regrets and relentings do''s he think of abandoning them? |
A23752 | 5. when he teaches us that highest, and yet most certain Alchimy, of refining and multiplying our enjoiments, and then perpetuating them? |
A23752 | 8. should frame Laws in their favor, make Acts of toleration and indulgence for them? |
A23752 | ALAS what human writing is there of near that Antiquity, wherein there are not many passages unintelligible? |
A23752 | AND hath God don nothing to get him a repute among us? |
A23752 | AND then in the second place, what calm can there be to such a mind? |
A23752 | And alas, what will it avail us that our opinions are right, if our manners be crooked? |
A23752 | And if it should happen to succeed in such a particular Church, yet what is that to the universal? |
A23752 | And if men would but universally conform to them, to what a blessed harmony would it tune the world? |
A23752 | And if the Jewish Church had no such right, upon what account can the Christian claim any? |
A23752 | And what Patron will not expect observance from one who thus subsists by him? |
A23752 | And when a thing is proper for such noble purposes, can it be the part of a wise man to apply it only to mean and trivial? |
A23752 | And when their per ● erseness frustrates all this his holy Artifice; how passionately do''s he expostulate with them? |
A23752 | And whence is all this caution but from a universal consent that writing is the surest way of transmitting? |
A23752 | BESIDES, admit it possible that so many could have join''d in the deceit, yet what imaginable end could they have in it? |
A23752 | BUT what human kindness is there that can come in any competition with the Divine? |
A23752 | BUT, besides all this, what shall we say, if the power it self of giving Licences be a mere shew, and really signifies just nothing? |
A23752 | But alas what is the profoundest wisdom of men compar''d with that of God? |
A23752 | But what are those things which we ought to enquire into? |
A23752 | But who ever laid down their lives in attestation of that, or any human composure, as multitudes of men have don for the Bible? |
A23752 | But yet with how much deeper anguish will it reflect on it self as the Author of that deprivation? |
A23752 | Can we think that they who rally upon all that the former Prophets have writ, would look with much reverence on what the new ones should say? |
A23752 | Do''s any Nation trust their fundamental Laws only to the memory of the present Age, and take no other course to transmit them to the future? |
A23752 | FIRST for the predictions, what signal completions do we find? |
A23752 | Fear ye not me saith the Lord? |
A23752 | For when Tradition was objected to him, he answers; Whence is this Tradition? |
A23752 | Had not he drawn mankind out of his original clay, what had we bin concern''d in all the other works of his Creation? |
A23752 | Has Christ enlarg''d its Charter? |
A23752 | How exactly are all the denunciations of judgments fulfill''d, where repentance has not interven''d? |
A23752 | How great a shame is it then for Christians to defalk that reverence from the true God, which heathens allow''d their false ones? |
A23752 | How impious a folly is it then in us, to Idolize human Wisdom with all its imperfections, and despise the divine? |
A23752 | How ingenuously apt was Nathans Apologue to David, whereby with holy artifice he ensnar''d him into repentance? |
A23752 | How often are they upbraided with the better examples of the brute creatures? |
A23752 | How shall I give thee up Ephraim? |
A23752 | How shall it be known that there was such a man as either Seller or Purchaser? |
A23752 | How will it recollect the many despis''d tenders of grace, the easy terms on which salvation might have bin had? |
A23752 | I ask then, had the Jewish Church by vertue of its being keeper, a power to supersede any part of those Oracles intrusted to them? |
A23752 | If the same rigor should be extended to secular cases, what a damp would it strike upon commerce? |
A23752 | If we think yes, why is he the only person to be disregarded? |
A23752 | Is it possible that any men in their wits should be so stupidly credulous, as to incur the penalty of those Laws upon so improbable an indemnity? |
A23752 | Is this house which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eies? |
A23752 | Many indeed have pretended impotency as a motive of compassion; but what could they gain by owning a cure they had not? |
A23752 | NOW in all these cases how possible is it that primitive Tradition may be either lost or adulterated? |
A23752 | Now at this rate of infidelity, what way will they leave God to manifest any thing convincingly to the world? |
A23752 | Now of those many who defame Holy Writ, how few are there that have the industry to inquire into those particulars? |
A23752 | Now suppose God should now raise us Prophets, and inspire them after this manner; what would the merry men of this time say to it? |
A23752 | Now what have we to found this confidence on besides the faith of History? |
A23752 | Should we not conclude him mad, that should attemt to fell a mighty Oak with a Pen- knife, or stop a Torrent with a wisp of Straw? |
A23752 | So also for property, if nothing of testimony may be admitted, how shall any man prove his right to any thing? |
A23752 | To what purpose are the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? |
A23752 | We are all very niggardly towards God, and should have bin apt to have ask''d Judas''s question; to what purpose is this wast? |
A23752 | What a multitude of subjects are there in the world, who never saw their Prince, nor were at the making of any Law? |
A23752 | What instance is there of the greatest tenderness and love, which God has not adopted to express his by? |
A23752 | What needs the labor of the course if the prize be certain? |
A23752 | What piercing exprobrations do we find of Israels ingratitude? |
A23752 | What saiest thou, O man? |
A23752 | Who is there that questions there was such a man as William the Conqueror in this Island? |
A23752 | Why may it not then be as possible for others to do the like thro a greater excess of incredulity? |
A23752 | Why will ye die O house of Israel? |
A23752 | Would any but an Idiot wast that Soveraign Liquor in the washing of his feet, which was given him to expel poison from his heart? |
A23752 | and how could he believe that, but upon the credit of those who have bin there? |
A23752 | do''s any man purchase an estate, and leave no way for his children to lay claim to it, but the Tradition the present witnesses shall leave of it? |
A23752 | has he left the sacred Scriptures with her, not to preserve and practice, but to regulate and reform? |
A23752 | has he no excellencies to deserve our esteem? |
A23752 | how readest thou? |
A23752 | how shall I deliver thee Israel? |
A23752 | how shall I make thee as Admah? |
A23752 | how shall I set thee as Zeboim? |
A23752 | how solemnly protest his aversness to their ruin? |
A23752 | if all these should deny their obedience, because they have it only by hear- say, there is such a man, and such Laws, what would become of government? |
A23752 | is he not worthy to prescribe to his own creatures? |
A23752 | is it from the autority of our Lord and his Gospel; or comes it from the commands of the Apostles in their Epistles? |
A23752 | or, to lay the Scene farther, who doubts there was an Alexander, a Julius Caesar, an Augustus? |
A23752 | saies: How can we make use of any thing which is not to be found in Scripture? |
A23752 | to fill up its vacancies, and supply its defects by her own Traditions? |
A23752 | what order and peace would it introduce? |
