A29010And pray''how much is that worse than our eating raw Fish, as we do in eating these Oysters?
A29010And what, I pray you, has Custom to do with Oysters?
A29010But may not I also know what Thoughts this worthy Theme suggested to Lindamor?
A29010But 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?

A28981And he that hath once fram''d mishapen Characters, be ashamed afterwards to write a Neater Hand?
A28981And 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?

A28981And will you quench the Spirit, and refrain from being virtuous, lest men should think you know your self to be so?
A28981Besides, when did Transgression by President turn Innocence?
A28981But admit you could not own Repentance, without being fancied vain, must the fear of others sins continue( those that are immediately) yours?
A28981But 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?
A28981For how would such dare to offend, that are sure to find no Countenance or Protection?
A28981For 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?

A28981To this I may reply in the terms of the Apostle, Am I therefore your enemy because I tell you the truth?
A28981True; 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?
A28981Well,( may you reply) but I scorn to swear falsly; and what know to be true, why may I not safely swear?
A28981What Trifle could appear slighter than the eating of an Apple?
A28981Why 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?

A28939A. Quid tinus?
A28939A. Quomodo ingreditur istuo ventus?
A28939Ad probandam Universi Plenitudinem, nullum nostin''Argumentum cogens?
A28939An qui spatia in Aere dari vacua contendunt, in illo Aere solo dari negant qui Marmora illa conjuncta circumdat?
A28939B. Quando verò eadem uno instante divellere conaris, nonne multo major vis adhibenda est; Quam ob causam?
A28939But because it will probably be demanded, why on a Tract that is but short, my Animadversions should take up so much room?
A28939Cur Principiis ab illo positis non estis usi?
A28939Cur ergo non ascendebat Aqua ad ea implenda absque suctione?
A28939Cut non inde potius incepistis ubi ille desiit?
A28939Does this Ratiocination seem to you as cogent, as it did to the Proposer of it?
A28939For answer to it our Author says: B. Nonne animalia sic inclusa insugunt in Pulmones Aerem vehementissimè motum?
A28939For 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?
A28939MAy one, without too bold an inquisitiveness, ask, what Book you are reading so attentively?
A28939Mundi autem Plenitudine supposita, quomodo demonstrabis possibile omnino esse ut divellantur?
A28939Nonne causa hujus rei haec est, Quod labenti Marmori succedit Aer,& relictum locum semper implet?
A28939Nonne perpetuo attenuatur donec in filum evadat tenuissimum,& omni dato crasso tenuius,& sie tandem divellitur?
A28939Quid ad hoc Respondebis?
A28939Quid enim aut attrahere aut impellere suctorem potuit ad locum illum unde retractus erat, si Cylindrus fuisset vacuus?
A28939Quid ergo agit?
A28939Quid ergo?
A28939Quid impedit quo minus vacuum illud cum Aere mundano permisceatur?]
A28939Quà, nisi per ipsum corpus Argenti vivi Aerem urgentis?
A28939Quî fieri hoc potest nisi factum sit Vacuum ab exuctione Aeris, in cujus locum possit Aqua illa ascendere?
A28939This is a Paradox, and therefore I shall desire to know on what you ground it?
A28939What did you mainly drive at in this Experiment?
A28939What induces you to dislike his Explication of it?
A28939What progress have you made in it?
A28939quorsum autem tantus apparatus& sumptus Machinarum factu difficilium, ut eatenus tantum productis quantum ante prodi ● rat Hobbius?
A28939sed quâ, inquies, viâ in illum locum successurus est?
A29031And for whose sake then was the World made?
A29031And next, how inconsiderable, alass, are these supposed Productions of Chance, in comparison of the elaborate Contrivances of Nature in Animals?
A29031And of the known American Simples, How many latent Virtues does experience from time to time discover?
A29031And that even very hurtful Liquors( and why not then some peccant matter in the body?)
A29031And when I ask''d, why he made no triall upon Beasts?
A29031For 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?
A29031For to instance now in Cicero only; Quorum igitur causâ( saies that great Orator) effectum esse mundum?
A29031Should not rather the Edition have been delay''d, untill it might have come out together with The second Section of the second Part?
A29031Suppose them to be publisht, But why now?
A29031What does he that contemplates the Nature of the Universe, of honor unto God?
A29031Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this?
A29031Why so soon?
A29031quibus paulatim ad manum traditis& tandem quasi in succum& sanguinem à rationalibus conversis doctorum scholae& libri superbiunt?
A29052A. Quid tenus?
A29052A. Quomodo ingreditur istuc ventus?
A29052Ad probandam Universi Plenitudinem, nullum nostin Argumentum cogens?
A29052An qui spatia in Aere dari vacua contendunt, in illo Aere solo dari negant qui Marmora illa conjuncta circumdat?
A29052And 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?
A29052B. Quando verò eadem uno instante divellere conaris, nonne multo major vis adhibenda est; Quam ob causam?
A29052But because it will probably be demanded, why on a Tract that is but short, my Animadversions should take up so much room?
A29052C ● ● ergo non ascendebat Aqua ad ea imple ● da absque suctione?
A29052Cur Principiis ab illo positis non estis usi?
A29052Cur n ● n inde potiùs incepistis ubi ille defiit?
A29052Does this Ratiocination ● eem to you as cogent, as it did to the Proposer of it?
A29052For answer to it our Author says: B. Nonne animalia sic inclusa insugunt in Pulmones Aerem vehementissimè motum?
A29052For 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?
A29052MAy one, without too bold an inquisitiveness, ask, what Book you are reading so attentively?

A29052Quà, nisi per ipsum corpus Argenti vivi Aerem urgentis?
A29052Quî fieri hoc potest nisi factum sit Vacuum ab exuctione Aeris, in euj ● ● locum possit Aqua illa ascendere?
A29052This is a Paradox, and therefore I shall desire to know on what you ground it?
A29052What did you mainly drive at in this Experiment?
A29052What induces you to dislike his Explication of it?
A29052What progress have you made in it?
A29052quorsum autem tantus apparatus& sumptus Machinarum factu difficilium, ut eatenus tantum prodiretis quantum ante prodierat Hobbius?
A29052sed quâ, inquies, viâ in illum locum successurus est?
A28982And now, if it be demanded, what Benefit may redound to a Reader from the Explications given in the foregoing Seventh Section?
A28982And whether it performs its Operations by virtue of an internal Principle, such as the Spring of it ought to be?
A28982And who informs it, whether that Place lies on this hand of it, or that hand of it, or above it, or beneath it?
A28982And, Why does she furiously break in pieces a thin seal''d Bubble, such as I come from speaking of, to hinder a Vacuum?
A28982But then I demand, Whence comes this Rebound, i. e. this Motion upwards?
A28982Equidem Vnicum esse Deum summum atque magnificum, quis tam demens, tam mente captus, ut neg ● t esse certissimum?
A28982Estque Dei sedes, ubi Terra,& Pontus,& Aer, Et Coelum,& Virtus: Superos quid quaerimus ultra?
A28982For, who can clearly conceive an Order or Kind of Beings, that shall be Real Substances, and yet neither Corporeal nor Immaterial?
A28982Fourthly, It may likewise be ask''d, How the Laws of Motion come to be observ''d or maintain''d by a Corporeal Being?
A28982I demand then o ● Those, that assert such a Nature as is vulgarly describ''d, whether it be a Substance or an Accident?
A28982If it be said to be an Immaterial Substance, I shall further ask, Whether it be a Created One, or not?
A28982If 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?
A28982Quid est autem cur non existimes, in eo divini aliquid existere, quae Dei pars est?
A28982Thirdly, He may also demand, Whence Nature, being a Material Substance, comes itself to have Motion, whereof''t is said to be the Principle?
A28982To which, within a few lines after, he adds, Vis illam Naturam vocare?
A28982Vis illam vocare Mundum?
A28982Whether Nature be a Thing, or a Name?
A28982and in general, from the Troublesome, as well as Free, Enquiry, whereof they make a considerable Part?
A28982or of an external one, such as one may think the appended Weight?
A29026And if any, what?
A29026And if it do, in what Qualities, and to what degree of alteration?
A29026And if not whether it arise in a Hillock, a Hill, or a Mountain?
A29026And 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?

A29007A. Nonne visionem fieri concedunt vestri per actionem continuam ab objecto ad oculum?
A29007A. Quid aliud nisi fluidi quidem, Quies, duri autem, Motus quidam ad illum effectum producendum idoneus?
A29007A. Quid ergo tali aquae motui conferre posse putas majorem vel minorem Atmosphaerae gravitatem?
A29007A. Quid tenus; Quorsum autem tantus apparatus& sumptus machinarum factu difficilium, ut eatenus tantum prodiretis quantum ante prodierat Hobbius?
A29007An creari fluida maxima potuere, ut aether, minima non potuere?
A29007And according to this Doctrine they may ask Mr. Hobbs, why a motion may not be made through a Vacuum or non corpus?
A29007And 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?
A29007And whereas Mr. Hobbs urges this other Argument against the Vacuists, Praeterea dic mihi, bullientem aquam potuistin''conspicere?
A29007And why?
A29007B. Quidni?
A29007Besides, tell me, could you see the water bubbling in that manner?
A29007But if it be demanded, why then I did not make it fitter for the Press before I sent it thither?
A29007But what then?
A29007Could great fluids, as the AEther, be created; and could not small ones?
A29007Credin''tu,& c. Do you think these Animals were therefore so quickly killed because they wanted Air?
A29007Do not your Associates grant that Vision is made by a continued action from the object unto the eye?
A29007Do they not also think action to be motion, and all motion to be of some body?
A29007For if it be demanded what then could cause the fore- mention''d subsiding of the Water?
A29007For if the Watering Pot were tall enough, what Reason is there, why the Water should not run out at the Holes of it?
A29007For 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?
A29007Haerent hic nostri:( which why he sayes I know not) quomodo haec expedies tu?
A29007Haerent hic,& c. Here our men are at a stand: How will you expedite this difficulty?
A29007Having ask''d this Question, Sed vis illa elastica quam in aëre esse dicunt, nihilne ad marmor sustinendum conferre potest?
A29007How 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?
A29007If it be, how chance a sufficient weight hung to the lower Marble can immediatley draw them asunder?
A29007In mala,& c. In a bad Cause they can do no other; but who compell''d them to undertake a bad Cause?
A29007In what therefore can the greater or lesser motion of the Atmosphere promote such a motion as this?
A29007Intellexti,& c. Have you understood my Hypotheses?
A29007Mr. Hobbs''s Theory of Fluidity and Firmness is thus delivered by himself; B. Quaenam duri& fluidi sunt principia?
A29007Nonne etiam putant actionem esse motum,& omnem motum esse corporis?
A29007Quod si fluidum fiat ex non fluidis, ut vos dicitis,& durum ex duris tantum, nonne sequitur ex fluidis primis neque fluidum fieri neque durum?
A29007Quomodo ergo potuit ab objecto, nempe aqua, ad oculos tuos motus per vacuum( i d est, per non corpus) derivare?
A29007Quomodo ergo sub aquam vivunt Urinatores, quorum aliqui( assueti à pueritiâ) caruere aëre per horam integram?
A29007Right; but of what figure?
A29007Sed cujus figurae?
A29007Sed vis,& c. But can the Spring, which they say is in the Air, confer nothing to the holding up the Marble?
A29007Si dura,& c. If hard bodies are made out of parts originally hard, why are not fluid bodies made of parts originally fluid?
A29007To what end such preparation and charge for Engines difficult to be made, to make no further discovery than Mr. Hobbs had made before you?
A29007Vnde contingit hoc?
A29007What else?
A29007When is it that we may truly say of a man that he is dead, or( which is the same) hath expired his Soul?
A29007Whence comes this?
A29007Whether the Mercury placed in its own station is upheld by the external Air, or suspended there by an internal Cord?
A29007Whether 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?
A29007Why did you not rather begin where he ended?
A29007Why so far?
A29007cur non inde potius incepistis ubi ille desiit?
A29007cur principiis ab eo positis non estis usi?
A29007nay, how it can naturally be stopt in vacuo where there is nothing to resist it?
A2375212. but what impression can a sword make on a body of air; which still slips from, and eludes its thrusts?
A237522 NOW what method imaginable can there be used to rational creatures of more sorce and energy?
A2375224. ye have taken away my Gods which I have made, and the Priest, and are gon away, and what have I more?
A2375231, 32. with what regrets and relentings do''s he think of abandoning them?
A237525. when he teaches us that highest, and yet most certain Alchimy, of refining and multiplying our enjoiments, and then perpetuating them?
A237528. should frame Laws in their favor, make Acts of toleration and indulgence for them?
A23752ALAS what human writing is there of near that Antiquity, wherein there are not many passages unintelligible?
A23752AND hath God don nothing to get him a repute among us?
A23752AND then in the second place, what calm can there be to such a mind?
A23752And alas, what will it avail us that our opinions are right, if our manners be crooked?
A23752And if it should happen to succeed in such a particular Church, yet what is that to the universal?
A23752And if men would but universally conform to them, to what a blessed harmony would it tune the world?
A23752And if the Jewish Church had no such right, upon what account can the Christian claim any?
A23752And what Patron will not expect observance from one who thus subsists by him?
A23752And 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?
A23752And when their per ● erseness frustrates all this his holy Artifice; how passionately do''s he expostulate with them?
A23752And whence is all this caution but from a universal consent that writing is the surest way of transmitting?
A23752BESIDES, admit it possible that so many could have join''d in the deceit, yet what imaginable end could they have in it?
A23752BUT what human kindness is there that can come in any competition with the Divine?
A23752BUT, besides all this, what shall we say, if the power it self of giving Licences be a mere shew, and really signifies just nothing?
A23752But alas what is the profoundest wisdom of men compar''d with that of God?
A23752But what are those things which we ought to enquire into?
A23752But who ever laid down their lives in attestation of that, or any human composure, as multitudes of men have don for the Bible?
A23752But yet with how much deeper anguish will it reflect on it self as the Author of that deprivation?
A23752Can 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?
A23752Do''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?
A23752FIRST for the predictions, what signal completions do we find?
A23752Fear ye not me saith the Lord?
A23752For when Tradition was objected to him, he answers; Whence is this Tradition?
A23752Had not he drawn mankind out of his original clay, what had we bin concern''d in all the other works of his Creation?
A23752Has Christ enlarg''d its Charter?
A23752How exactly are all the denunciations of judgments fulfill''d, where repentance has not interven''d?
A23752How great a shame is it then for Christians to defalk that reverence from the true God, which heathens allow''d their false ones?
A23752How impious a folly is it then in us, to Idolize human Wisdom with all its imperfections, and despise the divine?
A23752How ingenuously apt was Nathans Apologue to David, whereby with holy artifice he ensnar''d him into repentance?
A23752How often are they upbraided with the better examples of the brute creatures?
A23752How shall I give thee up Ephraim?
A23752How shall it be known that there was such a man as either Seller or Purchaser?
A23752How will it recollect the many despis''d tenders of grace, the easy terms on which salvation might have bin had?
A23752I ask then, had the Jewish Church by vertue of its being keeper, a power to supersede any part of those Oracles intrusted to them?
A23752If the same rigor should be extended to secular cases, what a damp would it strike upon commerce?
A23752If we think yes, why is he the only person to be disregarded?
A23752Is 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?
A23752Is this house which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eies?
A23752Many indeed have pretended impotency as a motive of compassion; but what could they gain by owning a cure they had not?
A23752NOW in all these cases how possible is it that primitive Tradition may be either lost or adulterated?
A23752Now at this rate of infidelity, what way will they leave God to manifest any thing convincingly to the world?
A23752Now of those many who defame Holy Writ, how few are there that have the industry to inquire into those particulars?
A23752Now suppose God should now raise us Prophets, and inspire them after this manner; what would the merry men of this time say to it?
A23752Now what have we to found this confidence on besides the faith of History?
A23752Should 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?
A23752So also for property, if nothing of testimony may be admitted, how shall any man prove his right to any thing?
A23752To what purpose are the multitude of your sacrifices unto me?
A23752We are all very niggardly towards God, and should have bin apt to have ask''d Judas''s question; to what purpose is this wast?
A23752What a multitude of subjects are there in the world, who never saw their Prince, nor were at the making of any Law?
A23752What instance is there of the greatest tenderness and love, which God has not adopted to express his by?
A23752What needs the labor of the course if the prize be certain?
A23752What piercing exprobrations do we find of Israels ingratitude?
A23752What saiest thou, O man?
A23752Who is there that questions there was such a man as William the Conqueror in this Island?
A23752Why may it not then be as possible for others to do the like thro a greater excess of incredulity?
A23752Why will ye die O house of Israel?
A23752Would any but an Idiot wast that Soveraign Liquor in the washing of his feet, which was given him to expel poison from his heart?
A23752and how could he believe that, but upon the credit of those who have bin there?
A23752do''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?
A23752has he left the sacred Scriptures with her, not to preserve and practice, but to regulate and reform?
A23752has he no excellencies to deserve our esteem?
A23752how readest thou?
A23752how shall I deliver thee Israel?
A23752how shall I make thee as Admah?
A23752how shall I set thee as Zeboim?
A23752how solemnly protest his aversness to their ruin?
A23752if 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?
A23752is he not worthy to prescribe to his own creatures?
A23752is it from the autority of our Lord and his Gospel; or comes it from the commands of the Apostles in their Epistles?
A23752or, to lay the Scene farther, who doubts there was an Alexander, a Julius Caesar, an Augustus?
A23752saies: How can we make use of any thing which is not to be found in Scripture?
A23752to fill up its vacancies, and supply its defects by her own Traditions?
A23752what order and peace would it introduce?
