A3192718, 19. that brought Apostles why they could not goe to heaven?
A31927A repenting Parliament; a repenting Army; and a repenting people; what miracles might not they do?
A31927And God he cals, How long O England?
A31927And do not some of these now begin to grieve, that they have grieved so much for their sinnes?
A31927And if any of these two peradventures should happen?
A31927And that God is never displeased with his people though they fall into adultery, or any other sin: no, not with a Fatherly displeasure?
A31927And that God never chastiseth his people for any sinne: no, not with a Fatherly chastisement?
A31927And that an unbeleeving and an impenitent sinner is as actually pardoned in Gods sight of all his sinnes, as he is if he beleeves and repents?
A31927And that which is yet more sad, Are there not some that preach against humiliation?
A31927And what can we give to God to satisfie him, but that which he hath first given to us?
A31927And yet notwithstanding all this, where shall we finde a penitent sinner?

A31927Behold( saith the Lord) I do now begin to pull down what I have built, and to destroy what I have planted, and seekest thou great things for thy self?
A31927But I suppose it is a question with none, That if the man go to hell for want of repentance, what shall then become of the Parliament man?
A31927Can the Lord hear you repent?
A31927Can the children of the Bridegroom mourn when the Bridegroom is with them?
A31927Consider whether this be equal: Would you have God give you a good return of your prayers, and will not you give God a good return of his Word?
A31927Do you Noble- men, you Gentlemen, you Common people, do you repent?
A31927Doth not, God many times remove the judgement of the Sword, or of the Plague,& c. from a Nation when that Nation doth not repent?
A31927Examine seriously and let conscience speak: Hast thou the childe of repentance formed in thee with every limb in truth; though not in perfection?
A31927Fifthly, What can a poor creature contribute to satisfie an infinite God?
A31927For if afflictions be satisfactions to Gods vengeance, and part of the temporal curse due to sin, where is the comfort of affliction?
A31927Hath not God many times removed the Plague from the City of London, when London hath not repented of her iniquities?
A31927I appeal to your consciences: Is it fit that God should cease fighting against us by the Sword, before we cease fighting against him by our sins?
A31927I beseech you tell me, what sin have you left since these wars began?
A31927I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickednesse, saying, What have I done?

A31927Is there any man that doth not repent?
A31927Is this a time to seek your own ends?
A31927It is a question with some( though with me it is no question) Whether a wicked man can be a good Parliament man?
A31927It is an easie matter to finde a sinner, but where shall we finde a penitent sinner even in these daies?
A31927Now do you think God will regard your prayers this day, if you do not repent this day?
A31927Oh Parliament of England?
A31927Say not, To morrow I will go to such a city,& c. for what is your life, is it not even a vapour?
A31927Some will say, What is that Repentance which is the unum necessarium for England, and which is The great Commandment of God for England?
A31927This you command us; Now I beseech you tell me, Do you do so your selves?
A31927We are as farre from the end, as we were in the beginning: and what is the reason?
A31927We cry out, How long, Lord?
A31927We must forsake sinne not for worldly respects, or self- ends, but we must say with Ioseph, How can I commit this thing and sinne against my God?
A31927What sinne have you left since you took your Covenant, and swore to reform your lives?
A31927When wilt thou have mercy upon England?
A31927When wilt thou sheath up the Sword?
A31927Why should ye be stricken any more?
A31927Will you secure us, that God will heal the Nation if it repents?
A31927Would you have the plaister taken away before the wound be cured?
A31927and that tell us, that humiliation is but a back- door to heaven, and a back- door to Christ?
A31927as vild in your courses as ever?
A31927how long will it be before you be washed from your Uncleannesses?
A31927how long?
A31927when will it once be?
A31927when will you repent of all those sinnes you command the Kingdom to repent of?
A31927when will you turn to me?
A31927when will you turn unto me with all your heart?
A31927where is your mourning?
A31927ye will revolt more and more& c, That is, Why should I be so mercifull unto you, as to punish you?
A31927— Or those eighteen upon whom the Tower of Siloe fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Ierusalem?
A78979& c. So say I: Is this a time to trouble England with New Opinions?
A7897912. how quickly would these wars( through Gods blessing) be at end?
A78979And are not we at this time in great extremity?
A78979And is not this the practise of our times?
A78979And shall not we agree together to save three Kingdomes?
A78979And shall we not weep bitterly before the Lord this day for these sinnes?
A78979And though these Lawes were afterwards repealed ▪ yet how often have we Apostatized from God since that time?
A78979And what shal we say to the desolate and bleeding condition of England, and Ireland, at this present?
A78979And who would not willingly sacrifice up his life to the fire to see King and Parliament throughly agreed?
A78979And why are Christians divided if Christ were not divided?
A78979Are we not brought very low by our sinnes, and by our divisions the fruit of our sinnes?
A78979But who now shall roll away this great stone from the doore of the Sepulchre?
A78979Can Christian eares endure such language?
A78979Doe not men boast of their adulteries, and yet escape unpunished?
A78979For he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seene, how can he love God whom he hath not seene?
A78979For who will venture into a ship that is tossed with contrary waves, and ready to sinke?
A78979Hast thou faith?
A78979He that did his neighbour the wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a Ruler and a Judge over us?
A78979Heaven it selfe, it is nothing but tranquillitas pacis; what is God, but the God of peace?
A78979If Divisions be so destructive to Kingdomes, Cities, and Families?
A78979If London were as a City at unity within it selfe, what could destroy it?
A78979If Satan be divided against Satan( saith Christ) how can his Kngdome stand?
A78979If one God, and one Lord, and one body,& c. Shall not his children be one?
A78979Is Christ divided?
A78979Is if not a sad thing to see the Members rent and torne one from the other?
A78979Is not the Kingdome the Magistrates House and Family?
A78979Is this a time to receive money?
A78979Let God himselfe take care to vindicate himselfe from injuries committed against God?
A78979Shall Christian Magistrates take up the Maxime of Tiberius, Deorum iniurias Diis curae esse?
A78979Shall Iudas conspire with the Pharisees and Sadduces to betray Christ?
A78979Shall Paul and Barnabas divide one from another?
A78979Shall the Cheap- side Crosse be taken down( wherein you have done well;) and shall your Cheapside iniquities, your Cheapside adulteries yet remaine?
A78979Shall the Lions, Bearee, Tygers, Wolves, Lambes and Sheepe,& c. that were shut up in the Arke, agree together while they were in the Arke?
A78979Shall we agree well in heaven, and shall we not agree together upon earth?
A78979So say I; Is England a perishing, and is this a time to trouble it with unnecessary disputations?
A78979Tell me I beseech you, Shall it be lawfull for Magistrates to punish those that destroy mens bodies, but not those that destroy mens soules?
A78979That in the New Testament Kings shall be our nursing Fathers, and Queenes our nursing Mothers?
A78979The common people were astonished and said; Is this the sonne of David?
A78979To see a Holy, Safe, and well- grounded Peace made?
A78979Was his garment kept whole, and shall his body be rent and torne in pieces?
A78979Was not a bone of Christ broken upon the Crosse, and shall all his members breake in pieces now he is in heaven?
A78979We live in the sadest dayes that ever England saw, and yet what aboundance of pride is there in apparell?
A78979What coldnesse and formality in Gods worship?
A78979What deadnesse of heart?
A78979What is that, that keeps the fabrick of Heaven from dissolving into pieces, but the Vnitie and the agreement of the discordant Elements?
A78979What keeps the body of a man in health, but the just proportion and harmonie of every part?
A78979What keeps this great fabrick here from falling, but the Vnion and conjunction of the parts of it?
A78979What unthankfulnesse?
A78979and shall the Disciples of Christ fall out amongst themselves?
A78979and what is Christ, but the Prince of Peace?
A78979that, that Head, that should be like a head of gold, is now, through ill counsell, made a head of iron, to crush its own body in pieces?
A78979what lustfull fashions, even in these bloody dayes?
A78979what securitie in sinne, even whilest the Ship of the Kingdome is sinking?
A32016( saith he) shall such a man as I feare?)
A3201610. Who hath despised the day of small things?
A32016Am I such a one as this is?
A32016And God demands of Ezekiel: Can these drie bones live?
A32016And as the Apostles severally asked Christ, Master, is it I?
A32016And this Mercy did so melt his heart, that he cryes out, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest looke upon such a dead Dog as I am?
A32016And where should we goe for a broken heart, but to the heart- maker?
A32016And yet notwithstanding are there not many of us that sinne in the midst of mercies?
A32016Be astonished O ye Heavens at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye ve ● … y desolate, saith the Lord; Why?
A32016But doth not God indent and Covenant with a Nation, upon its repentance, to shew mercy, how then is Gods mercy free?
A32016But he was above all feare( shall such a man as I fly?
A32016Hath he not made thee, and established thee?
A32016Have I abused these mercies?
A32016Have I sinned with these mercies?
A32016How angry was Christ with Peter, because he would not suffer him to wash his feete?
A32016How many mountaines of opposition have melted before you, as mountaines of snow before the Sun?
A32016How often hath God appeared in the mount these two last yeares, as if he had resolved to take up his dwelling there?
A32016I have done many great workes among you, for which of these doe you stone me?
A32016If Gods mercies be so rare here in the valley of teares, what are they in the mountaine of joy?
A32016If thou art converted, blesse God for free grace: For who made thee to differ from another?
A32016Is not he the God that hath multiplyed mercies upon us?
A32016Is not he thy father that bought thee?
A32016May I not say to you as Moses to the Israelites; Doe ye thus requite the Lord, O ye foolish people and unwise?
A32016May not Christ say to you as he did to the Jewes?
A32016May not a man that hath two debtors equally indebted to him, spare the one and not the other, as he pleaseth?
A32016May we not give praise and thankes to the Parliament that hath taken such indefatigable paines for our good?
A32016Neither say they, Where is the Lord that brought us up out of the land of Aegypt?
A32016None so patient and mercifull as God, but yet when he begins to strike, and his anger is kindled, how unexpressible is his fury?
A32016Now as the Wiseman saith, Who knowes what a day may bring forth?
A32016Say as Nabal did( but in a better sense) shal I take my health which God hath given me, to sin against my God with it?
A32016Shall I take the wit that God hath given me, to plot against God and his cause with it?
A32016So m ● … t we aske our hearts, Am not I the man that ought to be ashamed, and ● … nfoundid for my sins against mercies?
A32016So must we say, Num ego talis?
A32016That are like the Horse and Mule that have no understanding?
A32016This sin is so great, that the Apostle cries out, Shall I take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an Harlot?
A32016Thou, for whom I have done so much: Wherefore hast thou despised the Commandement of the Lord?
A32016What a mercy is it to be out of hell?
A32016What excuse shall we bring?
A32016What shall we say after this, O our God?
A32016What shall we say?
A32016What shift shall we plead?
A32016What so blunt as iron?
A32016What so calme as the Sea?
A32016What would Germany give, if they had these mercies?
A32016What would Ireland doe for God, if they had these mercies?
A32016When David was used unkindly by Nabal, upon whom he had bestowed many courtesies, how did this unkindnesse provoke David to anger?
A32016Wherefore hast thou despised the Commandement of the Lord to doe evill in his sight?
A32016Who art thou, O great mountaine, before Zerubbabel?
A32016Who can tell if God will turne, and repent,& c.?
A32016Who knowes but that God may reare us up a glorious Church?
A32016Who knows what a mercy such a day as this may bring forth?
A32016Who knows what a rare successe this day may have throughout all England?
A32016and Moses himselfe spake unadvisedly with his lips, when he said, Shall we bring water out of this Rocke,& c?
A32016and if thou didst receive it; why dost thou glory as if thou hadst not received it?
A32016and is this the manner of man O Lord God?
A32016and what hast thou which thou hast n ● … t received?
A32016but when it is sh ● … rpned, what more sharpe?
A32016but yet when a storme comes, what so tempestuous?
A32016can God make a way through the hoasts of the Phi ● … istines?
A32016that remaine irreformable in a yeare of Reformation, that not onely hate to be reformed, but hate the very Reformation it selfe?
A32016that sinne under mercies, even under mercies?
A32016what is the matter?
A32016will they fortifie themselves?
A32016will they make an end in a day?
A32016will they revive the stones, out of the heapes of the rubbish which are bu ● … nt?
A32016wouldst thou not be angry with us, till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor escaping?
A789651, 2, 3,& c. Is not unity the happinesse of heaven?
A7896514. Who knoweth whether God hath not raised you up to be Mayor, to be Sheriffs, Aldermen, and Common Councell men for such a time as this is?
A78965Aequissime judex, judica quod aequum est, judica meum esse qui tuus esse noluit post renunciationem; Vt quid invasit pannos meos?
A78965And as for Jesus Christ who is the Angell of the covenant: are there not some amongst us that un- god Jesus Christ?
A78965And do not we deal so with the Covenant?
A78965And if families be not reformed, how will your worshippers be pure?
A78965And is not the godly Mininistery as much persecuted by the tongues of some that would be accounted godly, as heretofore by the Bishops hands?
A78965And is this to keep Covenant with God?
A78965And shall not God be avenged of such a Nation as this?
A78965And shall not God be avenged of such a nation as this?
A78965And the Lord shall separate him,& c. And when the nations shall say, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto this land?
A78965And what can you not do?
A78965Are there not many amongst us that scorn it and speak reproachfully of it?
A78965Are there not many that walk professedly contrary to this clause of the Covenant?
A78965Are there not some that deal hypocritically in the Covenant?
A78965Are there not some that put corrupt glosses upon it, and deale falsely in the Covenant?
A78965Are there not thousands that have sworne to be Christs servants, and yet are in their lives the Vassals of sin and Satan?
A78965Are we not Covenant- breakers?
A78965Are we not like unto little children, that while they are whipping will promise any thing, but when the whipping is over will perform nothing?
A78965Are we not to buy the truth and sell it not?
A78965But how few are there that imitate David in this thing?
A78965But some will say, How shall I doe to get up my heart to this high pitch that I may be a Covenant- keeper?
A78965But what bosome sin, what beloved sin, as dear to thee as thy dear wife and children, hast thou left for Gods sake since thou tookest this Oath?
A78965But where is this Family- reformation?
A78965But where is this thorough Reformation, this thorough amendment of life?
A78965But where shall we finde a mourner in England for his own abominations, and for the abominations that are committed in the midst of us?
A78965But who makes conscience of this part of the Oath?
A78965Did not Christ come into the world to bear Witnesse to the truth?
A78965Did not grace and truth come by Iesus Christ?
A78965Do we not make the times perilous by our falsifying of our oath and covenant with God?
A78965First, for the Lords Supper; How often have we spilt the bloud of Christ by our unworthy approaches to his Table?
A78965How comes it then to passe that this part of the Covenant is so much forgotten?
A78965How dear and precious were Gods people one to another,& c. But now how are our Fasting- dayes sleighted and vilified?
A78965How hard a matter is it to obtain power to keep the blood of Christ from being profaned by ignorant and scandalous Communicants?
A78965How is it that men bend their tongues like bowes for lies, but they are not valiant for the truth upon earth?
A78965How is it then that truth is fallen in the streets, and equity can not enter?
A78965I have made a Covenant with mine eyes, why then should I thinke upon a maid?
A78965Is every man that sins against the Covenant to be accounted a Covenant- breaker, and a perjured, sacrilegious person?
A78965Is it not a good& pleasant thing for brethren to dwell together in unity?
A78965Is it not the happinesse of a City to be at unity within it self?
A78965Is not Christ the way, the truth, and the life?
A78965Is not the Holy Bible by some rather wrested then read?
A78965Is not truth more precious then gold, and more to be prized then Rubies?
A78965Judge him to be mine, who refused to be thine even after he had renounced me in his Baptisme; What had he to doe to wear my Livery?
A78965Our enemies say, What doe these feeble Presbyterians meane?
A78965Promissa haec tuasunt, Domine;& quis falli timet cum promittit ipsa veritas?
A78965Quid apud eum lascivia, incontinentia,& c. quibus ipse renunciaverit?
A78965Quid intemperantia, quid gula, quid fastus, quid caetera mea?
A78965That are very indifferent which side prevaile, so they may have their trading again?
A78965The question I put to you is this: How often have you broke covenant with God?
A78965The sinners of Sion are afraid: who shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
A78965Was not unity one of the chief parts of Christs prayer unto his Father when he was here upon earth?
A78965We speak and contend much for a Church- reformation; but how can there be a Church- reformation, unlesse there be first a Family- reformation?
A78965What Noblemans, what Aldermans, what Merchants family is more reformed since the Covenant, then before?
A78965What had he to doe with gluttony, drunkennesse, pride, wantonnesse, incontinencie; and the rest of my ware?
A78965What meaneth the heat of this great anger?
A78965What sin hast thou left, or in what one thing hast thou bin reformed since thou tookest this Covenant?
A78965What though the Church- worship be pure, yet if the worshippers be impure, God will not accept of the worship?
A78965Who can abide in the fiercenesse of his anger?
A78965Who can stand before his indignation?
A78965Who can stand?
A78965and can we think that God will be easily intreated to sheath up his bloody sword, and to cease shedding our blood?
A78965and is it not fit and equall that God should un- church us, and un- people us?
A78965how are the people of God divided one from another, railing upon( in stead of loving) one another?
A78965how beautifull were the feet of them that brought the Gospell of peace unto you?
A78965how comes it to passe that thou art so much sleighted and contemned?
A78965how is it that truth faileth, and he that departeth from evill maketh himself a prey?
A78965that take it meerly to serve their own turns, to save their credits, or to save their estates, or to hide their malignancy?
A78965where is the man that hath made restitution of his ill gotten goods since he took this Covenant?
A78965will they fortifie themselves?
A78965will they make an end in a day?
A78965will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burnt?
A78965woe is me, who can dwell with everlasting burnings?
A31952& c. Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool?
A31952( saith the Apostle) it is God that justifieth, who is he t ● at condemneth?
A31952* Who shall lay any thing, to the charge of Gods elect?
A31952A new heart will I give you, saith the Lord, and what follows?
A31952And hath he not then Union with Christ?
A31952And must not that needs be a special work of the Spirit of G ● d in man, which strongly argues the special Love of God towards man?
A31952And, how may I discern whether I have a new heart, yea, or nay?
A31952Art thou then a sufferer; Consider whether thou sufferest as a Christian, yea, or nay?
A31952As if he had said, How shall we that are dead to the guilt of sinne, take pleasure in the filth of sinne, or wallow in any sinne with delight?
A31952But here the great question will be, How shall I do this?
A31952But how shall I do that?
A31952But how shall I know, whether Gods chastisements be sanctified ● o me, or not?
A31952But how shall I know, whether my love to man be sound, and such as demonstrates the holy Spirits saving habitation in me, or not?
A31952But how shall that appeare?
A31952But if this be not the meaning of this Scripture, what then is the meaning of it?
A31952But what Spirit was the Lord Iesus Christ of?
A31952But what is it to be in Christ?
A31952But what is it to suffer as a Christian?
A31952But what is that poverty of spirit, which Christ pronounceth blessed, and on which he entailes the kingdome of Heaven?
A31952But what is that( may some say) what is a new Creature?
A31952But what is this Evangelicall contrition?
A31952But what is this Obedience you speake of?
A31952But what is this grace of Repentance?
A31952But where then is assurance to be found?
A31952But you will say, How shall I do this?
A31952But you will say, How shall I know, whether my heart be washed from wickedness, or not?
A31952But you will say, What is a new heart?
A31952By what Law?
A31952Divine joy, What?
A31952Divine patience, What?
A31952Go ye and teach all Nations, saith Christ to his Apostles, What should they teach them?
A31952HOw may I come to be truly, and infallibly assured of my salvation?
A31952Hearts broken with Evangelical sorrow are very pliable to the will of the Lord above all other, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?
A31952How may I discern, whether my Obedience be sincere and cordiall Obedience, yea, or nay?
A31952How may it be defined?
A31952How may it be defined?
A31952How may it be described?
A31952How shall I go to work to attain this precious jewel of assurance which you speak of?
A31952How shall I then know, whether God chastise me in love or in displeasure?
A31952How shall I try the testimony that I have, whether it be of God or no?
A31952How shall we that are dead to sinne, live any longer therein?
A31952I am unprofitable to God and man: When saw I thee a stranger, and took thee in?
A31952Is Ephraim my deare sonne, is he a pleasant Child?
A31952Israel was a fruit- bearing vine, yet but an empty vine; how comes this to passe?
A31952Lord, when saw we thee an hungred?
A31952O wretched man that I am, Who shall deliver me( and when shall I be delivered) from the body of this death?
A31952Secondly, Whether thy Chastisiments are sanctified to thee, or not?
A31952Shall the thing formed, say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
A31952Shall we receive good at the hand of God?
A31952So say thou to the Lord, respecting that land above, of which Canaan was a type, Lord, God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
A31952The third thing premised is; Who they are to whom Chastisements and scourgings are pledges of Divine love?
A31952Their heart was not right with God, that is, their hearts were not sincere and upright: but how doth that appeare?
A31952Then again, say as he, What seest thou?
A31952To get assurance of this, thou must diligently examine thy self, whether thou hast the Spirit of Christ, or not?
A31952We all naturally dote upon works, and say, as the young man in the Gospel, that came to Christ, What shall I do that I may inherit eternall life?
A31952We know, we are confident, saith he of himself, and other Believers; and what follows?
A31952What doth the Lord require herein on our part?
A31952What form is he of( said he) What sawest ● hou?
A31952What is this faith you speak of, and how may it be discerned from a Temporary faith?
A31952What light?
A31952What seest thou O my soul in thy self?
A31952What shall we do, that we might work the Works of God?
A31952Where is boasting then?
A31952Whose image dost thou beare, Christ''s or Satans?
A31952Wouldest thou then know, whether thy Repentance be Repentance unto Life, or no?
A31952affected darknesse or afflicting darknesse?
A31952and did minister unto thee?
A31952and how may I discern, whether I have it or no?
A31952and shall we not receive evill?
A31952and where is the place thereof, seeing it is hid from the eyes ● f the most, and kept close from many of Gods Iewels?
A31952and whether thou sufferest according to the will of Christ?
A31952how much better is thy Love, then Wine?
A31952if nothing but darknesse?
A31952intimates How can ye believe( saith he) which seek honour one of a another?
A31952of works?
A31952or a stranger?
A31952or athirst?
A31952or in prison?
A31952or naked, and cloathed thee?
A31952or naked?
A31952or sick?
A31952or when may a man be said to suffer as a Christian?
A31952so do thou ask thy soul, What form art thou of, O my soul?
A31952viz, that I have Union with Christ, how shall I be ascertained of this?
A31952what darknesse is it?
A31952what darknesse?
A31952what may I do to increase my assurance, and better my evidence?
A31952whether it be such as truly demonstrates the holy Spirits saving habitation in thy soul, and the truth of thy faith, yea, or nay?
A31952whether thou sufferest for the will of Christ?
A5205514. hath this saying, An Epis ● opatus inter ordines Ecclesiastic ● s ponendus sit, inter Theologos& Canonistas non convenit?
A52055And are not the French, Scottish, and Belgick Churches worthy to be counted Christian Congregations?
A52055And besides it is said, that Titus was Ordained the first Bishop,& c. And who was the second?
A52055And how will it be proved that this Angel if he had a superiority, had any more then a superiority of Order, or of Gifts and Parts?
A52055And if not; How comes it to bee subscribed, the first to Timothy, which hath relation to a second?
A52055And is it not, as it is novv asserted, become an Idoll, and like the Brazen Serpent to be ground to povvder?
A52055And is it so, doth not this Ius divinum argue a Necessitie, but only a Iustifiablenesse of this calling?
A52055And what shall we think of England, when it was an Heptarchy?
A52055And why not then the seven Angels in those Epistles?
A52055And why then should one Presbyter be over another?
A52055Are not Anicetus, Pius, Hyginus, Telesphorus, Sixtus, whom the Papists call Bishops, and the Popes predecessors, termed by Eusebius Presbyters?
A52055Are the reformed Churches of France, Scotland, Netherlands, of that Judgement?
A52055As for the names, are not the same names given unto both in Sacred Writ?
A52055But have our Bishops indeed beene so carefull, painfull, conscionable, in managing their Charges?
A52055But if we should now demand of them, what they meane by the Church of England?
A52055But novv since Episcopacy comes to be challenged as a Divine Ordinance, hovv shall vve be responsible to those Texts?
A52055But what if this be true of some Bishops in the Kingdome, is it true of all?
A52055But why should the faults of some, diffuse the blame to all?
A52055Did ever Apostolick Authority delegate power to Timothy or Titus, to ordain alone?
A52055Did ever Apostolick Authority delegate power to Timothy or Titus, to reject any after twice admonition, but an Heretick?
A52055Did ever Apostolick Authority delegate to Timothy and Titus power to receive an accusation against an Elder, but before two or three witnesses?
A52055Did ever Apostolique Authority delegate power to Timothy and Titus, to rebuke an Elder?
A52055Doth not Irenaeus use the name of Bishops and Presbyters 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, in a promiscuous sense?
A52055First, if he ask what are the bounds of this Church?
A52055Here wee demand, whether Paul when hee writ the first Epistle to Timothy, was assured he should live to write a second, which was written long after?
A52055If what Baptism?
A52055If what Christ?
A52055If what Heaven?
A52055If what meanes of Salvation?
A52055If what ● u ● harist?
A52055In the deposing of this King vvho more forvvard, then the Bishop of Hereford?
A52055In which Epistle is it said that this Angel had sole power of Ordination and Jurisdiction?
A52055Is it to edifie the Church by Word and Sacrament?
A52055Misliked Persons?
A52055Obey them that have the Rule over you?
A52055Or if the Bounds of a Kingdome must constitute the Limits and Bounds of a Church, why are not ● ngland, Scotland, and Ireland, all one Church?
A52055Should a Bishop give a Laike a Licence to preach, or to ordain, doth that Licence make him a Minister, or a Bishop?
A52055Sure all will say, no: why?
A52055That which this sacred Emperour calls the right order of Election, what is it but the Election by the people?
A52055The Homilies which are appointed to be read, are left free either to be read or not, by preaching Ministers; and why not then theLiturgy?
A52055The intolerable pride, extortion, bribery, luxury of Wolsey Archbishop of York who can be ignorant of?
A52055Thinks any, that this is my opinion, and not the opinion of the Scripture, that a Bishop and an Elder is the same?
A52055Thirdly, he saith this Government hath continued without any interruption: What doth he meane, at Rome?
A52055Though this Remonstrant braves it in his multiplied Queries What are the bounds of this Church?
A52055Was there ever such a second Bishop?
A52055We read in Scripture, of the Churches of Iudea, and the Churches of Galatia: and why not the Churches of England?
A52055We would gladly know, whether these were not, as it were, Lay- Eelders?
A52055What?
A52055Where it is said, that this Angel was a superior degree or order of Ministery above Presbyters?
A52055Whether Episcopacie be not made a place of Dignity, rather then Duty, and desired onely for the great revenues of the place?
A52055Whether that assertion, No Bishop, No King; and no Ceremonie, no Bishop; be not very prejudiciall to Kingly Authority?
A52055Whether the advancing of Episcopacie into Ius Divinum, doth not make it a thing simply unlavvfull to submit to that Government?
A52055Whether the great Apostasie of the Church of Rome hath not been, in swerving from the Discipline of Christ, as well as from the doctrine?
A52055Whether there be any difference in the point of Episcopacy betweene Ius Divinum and Ius Apostolicum?
A52055Why should the free liberty of using or not using a Liturgy, breed more confusion then the free liberty of reading or not reading Homilies?
A52055Why?
A52055Will our Bishops indeed stand to this?
A52055and are there none bu Zealous, Religious Prelates in the Kingdom?
A52055and do not our Bishops challenge power to proceed Ex Officio, and make Elders their own Accusers?
A52055and do not our Bishops challenge power to reject and eject the most sound and Orthodox of our Ministers, for refusing the use of a Ceremony?
A52055and do not our Bishops challenge that power?
A52055and onely they?
A52055and who knowes not that amongst these this Government hath met not onely with verbal but reall contradiction?
A52055and why not offending persons?
A52055are there none upon whom the guilt of that may meritoriously be charged, which others have convincingly and meritoriously opposed?
A52055are there not some that have spent their spirits in the opposition of Christ, as others have in the opposition of Antichrist?
A52055dayes there were 600 Errours in the Church; do these any wayes derogate from the truth and worth of Christian Religion?

A52055how many?
A52055is it not more certain that Christ is God and man?
A52055is it not more certain that Christ is the only Saviour of the world?
A52055is it to ordain others to that work?
A52055is it to rule, to govern, by admonition and other censures?

A46373And they say, just as Corah and his Company, You take too much upon you, yee sons of Levi ▪ Are not all the people of God holy?
A46373And who gave you this Authority?
A46373And who knowes not but circumstances may be wanting or corrupted, and yet the substance remain intire?
A46373Are Light and Stars necessary?
A46373Are Rulers, Shepherds, Stewards, Ambassadours, Husbandmen, Builders, Angels, Chariots and Horsmen necessary?
A46373Are all Prophets?
A46373Are all Prophets?
A46373Are all Teachers?
A46373Are not all made Kings?
A46373Are not all sinfull enough, naturally hating Teachers, and scorning to be reproved, being enemies to light and truth?
A46373But Ierom saith, It was toto orbe decretum, and how could this be but by Apostolical appointment?
A46373But from whence had he thi ● History?
A46373But how can this be, when the Apostle Paul himself tels us, that he was an Apostle, not of men, neither by men, but by Iesus Christ immediatly?
A46373But how long was it that the Church of Christ was governed by the common Councel of Presbyters without a Bishop set over them?
A46373But how was Paul sure that he should live to write a second?
A46373But how will it be proved ▪ may some say, That these Chorepiscopi were onely Presbyters and not Bishops?
A46373But if a Master of a Family may instruct his own Family, why may he not preach in the publique Congregation?
A46373But if these were two of the seventy Elders, why doth Ioshua desire Moses to forbid them?
A46373But what then is the meaning of Moses prayer, Would God that all the Lords People were Prophets, and that the Lord would put his Spirit upon them?
A46373But why did not they go unto the Tabernacle as the rest did?
A46373But why then do you your selves suffer men whom you call Probationers and Expectants for the Ministry, to preach without Ordination?
A46373But would you then have every man bound to keep constantly to the Minister under whom he lives?
A46373By what Authority do you these things?
A46373Christ makes answer by demanding another question, The Baptisme of Iohn, was it from heaven or of men?
A46373Could they answer as Christ?
A46373Do not most of your Arguments symbolize with the Romanists as if they were arrows shot out of their quiver?
A46373Do you cry out Antichrist, Antichrist, and yet crucifie Christ again in his members?
A46373Do you not hereby wound all the Reformed Churches, darkning the beauty, and obstructing the progresse of Reformation?
A46373Doth God do thus to those that run and are not sent?
A46373Doth not this opinion greatly endanger the souls of others?
A46373Enviest thou, for my sake?
A46373Every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head?
A46373For what are we the better that there is a Ministery by Divine institution, if our Ministry be of man, and not of God?
A46373For what juncture of r ● ● son would be in this?
A46373Had we that same ingenuity we should return the same answer in the sense of our spirituall disability; How can we except some man guide us?
A46373Hast thou considered their work of faith, labour of love, patience of hope?
A46373Hath not the Lord greatly testified from Heaven against this Tenent in his spirituall Judgements upon many the great promoters of it?
A46373Have not they preached and pressed to the conscience the practical points of Christianity?
A46373How can glory be given to God in the Church throughout all ages, if there should be an age in which the Church should be utterly lost?
A46373How can the Sacrament be continued in the Church till Christ come, if there were so many hundred years in which there was no true Ministery?
A46373How harsh and unpleasant is such an expression?
A46373How is it that ye are not afraid to speak evil of the servants of the Lord, set up by his Spirit for the defence of the Gospel?
A46373How little hath been the Progresse of the Protestant Religion ever since?
A46373How may we distinguish between an immediate Call from God, and the imposture of men that say they are so called when they are not?
A46373How may we distinguish between an immediate Call from God; and the imposture of fanatick men that say they are so called, and are not?
A46373How shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?
A46373How shall they hear without a preacher?
A46373How shall they preach except they be sent?
A46373I am against them saith the Lord: a fearfull commination; If God be against them who shall be with them?
A46373If a Minister made by a Bishop be a lawfull Minister, why then did you in your late covenant abjure Episcopacy with all its dependencies?
A46373If all were the eye, where were the hands and feet?
A46373If any demand, how shall we know when Christ spake to them as Apostles?
A46373If it alwaies remained firm, what need a new Ordination?
A46373If thou hast not, why wilt thou speak evil of things and persons thou knowst not?
A46373If your principles about an universall liberty be true, why are you so untrue to your own principles?
A46373In brief, shall an exact scrutiny passe upon such as are to feed the bodies of poor men, and not upon such as feed the souls?
A46373In the same Epistle he saith,( a) Reverence the Bishop as ye ● do Christ, at the holy Apostles have commanded; But where is this commanded?
A46373In times of former trouble, How did Professors live sincerely, love fervently, pray, and fast, and mourn together?
A46373Is Sa ● ● necessary?
A46373Is any sick among you?
A46373Is it not meant the Church of Hierusalem, to which place they are said to come?
A46373Is it not the great work of Antichrist to destroy our Ministers, to smite the Shepherd that the Flock may be scattered?
A46373Is not this opinion the sad abuse of the great liberty now enjoyed?
A46373Is not this to offer manifest violence to the Scriptures?
A46373Is not this to partake of Antichrists sin?
A46373Man, who made me a Iudge or divider over you?
A46373May all be Magistrates?
A46373May not private men preach as well as they?
A46373Might not the people say, What need Paul leave Titus to do that which we can do our selves?
A46373Now is there not a reall distinction( as well as nominall) betwixt the Flock and Pastor, the Sheep and the Shepherd?
A46373Now then we demand, If the people have no Office- power belonging to them, how can they by Election make an Officer?
A46373Now to perform any authoritative act without authority, what is it other then to usurp authority?
A46373Now we demand, who were these Elders?
A46373Now why are all these qualifications required?
A46373Now with whom did Paul spend his three years?
A46373Of what Church?
A46373Or why may not a Justice of Peace send Warrants out of his own County?
A46373Or why might not Vzziah as well offer Incense in the Temple as pray in his own Family?
A46373Otherwise to what purpose are they inhibited?
A46373Secondly, All are made Priests unto God, but are all made Prophets?
A46373Shall Souldiers have no pay because when they are lawfully called forth they offer themselves freely to serve the publike?
A46373Shew us your warrant out of the Word?
A46373THat when Hierome saith, Quid facit Episcopus quod non facit Presbyter except ● Ordinatione?
A46373Tell us by what authority doest thou these things, or who gave thee this authority?
A46373The Apostle doth not say, How shall they preach except they be gifted( though this be true) but how shall they preach except they be sent?
A46373The Apostle useth a four- fold gradation, How shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed?
A46373The Saints are to be united( and what tears are sufficient to lament our present Divisions?)
A46373These holy Ministers were the precious members of Christ, and will you make them as much as is in you the members of an harlot?
A46373They are called Teachers, and doth not the holy Ghost evidently distinguish betwixt them that do instruct and those that are instructed?
A46373This is confuted by the next words in the Text, How shall they preach except they be sent?
A46373This is in it self a truth of clearest evidence: What needs a peculiar Officer to be set apart to a common work?
A46373This promise can not be confined to the persons of Apostles; for where are the Prophets and Evangelists?
A46373To what purpose did Paul and Barnabas go from place to place to ordain Elders?
A46373To what purpose then is Imposition of hands used, if the extraordinary gifts of the holy Ghost be not conveighed thereby?
A46373Was Valentinus Gentilis therefore a friend and Martyr to God the Father, because he died as an enemy to God the Son?
A46373Was it not the peculiar priviledge of the Apostles, Evangelists,& c. to have their Commission extended to all Churches?
A46373We demand what is meant by the Church?
A46373We demand, by whom shall these be baptized?
A46373We demand, who was the Bishop of Ephesus that Paul sent for?
A46373What are we the better that there is a Ministry from Christ, if our Ministry be from Antichrist?
A46373What is meant by the word Office?
A46373What is meant by the word Presbytery?
A46373What part hath the Ruling Elder in Ordination?
A46373Where is the necessity laid upon them( as the Apostle speaks of himself) that they preach the Gospel?
A46373Whether a company of Believers associated together may ordain without Ministers?
A46373Whether are we to expect any immediate Call in these daies?
A46373Whether may one Preaching Presbyter lay on hands without the assistance of other Ministers?
A46373Whether the Call of the first Reformers of Religion from the Errours of Popery, was an immediate Call or no?
A46373Whether this Presbytery was a Presbytery of Bishops, or of single Presbyters?
A46373Whether this Presbytery were Congregational or Classical?
A46373Who art thou that givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit?
A46373Who planteth a Vineyard and doth not eat thereof?
A46373Who then is Paul, and who Apollo, but Ministers by whom ye believe?
A46373Why are your professed principles so uneven, and you so contradictory to your own principles?
A46373Why did they not spare their journey, and send to the people to make their own Ministers by Election?
A46373Why should you strengthen the hands of sinners?
A46373Why then do they not celebrate them?
A46373Why was Titus left in Crete to appoint Elders in every City?
A46373Will any sober Christian believe that these were members of the Roman Harlot?
A46373Would not all these injunctions about such an Office be superfluous, if such an Office were not by Divine Institution?
A46373and after many arguments, why doth the Apostle make that appeal?
A46373and also when he was an Apostle( as Calvin saith) long before this time?
A46373and hath not the Lord set a visible seal to their Ministry in the souls of thousands?
A46373and herein do not you gratifie the common Adversary, and strengthen their hands?
A46373and instead of upholding of Episcopacy is not this sufficient to render it odious and contemptible to all sober and Godly and Moderate Christians?
A46373and may not this rise from the spirit of delusion which worketh strongly in the Children of disobedience?
A46373and when to them as Christians?
A46373and why did Paul leave Titus in Crete to ordain Elders in every City?
A46373and why must he be so carefull to see them first fit, in case his laying on of hands would fit them?
A46373if they finde not acceptance with God, all that approbati ● n and applause which they finde from men, what will it profit?
A46373nisi quia Episcopi& Presbyteri unae Ordinatio est?
A46373or was there ever a second?
A46373was not that extraordinary?
A46373were these also Bishops of Hierusalem?
A46373when to them as Ministers?
A46373where our Saviour Christ refuseth to meddle with dividing Inheritances, because he was no Judge; Man, who made me a Iudge?
A46373who ● nows not it would not?
A46373why did the Apostles visit the Churches they had planted, to Ordain Elders in every Church?
A46373why then may they not preach?
A46373will this answer consist with our Brethrens judgment?
A4925811 34. Who hath known the mind of the Lord?
A49258A second Queee is this, Whether may one that is an elect man, fall away from his election, and come to be a damned man, or no?
A49258An elect vessel?
A49258And Christ said unto them, when I sent you without purse, and without scripe, and shooes, lacked you any thing?
A49258And O what c ● mfort is this?
A49258And are not the gifts and calling of God without repentance?
A49258And being asked, why?
A49258And here then, beloved, doth this word fall upon any man before God this day?
A49258And how was it?
A49258And if any are apt to be deceived about this matter, have not you great cause to be diligent, lest you are deceived also?
A49258And if so, what is the reason that Calling in my Text is put before Election?
A49258And then Thirdly, How may he come to get the assurance of his effectual calling?
A49258And was this only a fit of desertion, or was it a continued act?
A49258And wha ●''s ● he end of all this?
A49258And what course doth he take?
A49258And what was the effect of hearing John preach?
A49258And what wil follow?
A49258And what''s the reason?
A49258And what''s the reason?
A49258And where can there be a better pattern for you to resemble, or a better Coppy for you to write by?
A49258And who are they?
A49258And who were they that should do so?
A49258And why was this?
A49258Are not there pardoning mercies, where condemnation is deserved?
A49258Are you effectually called?
A49258As namely, First, whether this election be universal, or no?
A49258As often in Scripture, Circumcision put for Circumcised; and so here; Election put for elected, The elected have obtained it: what did they obtaine?
A49258Be you diligent( saith the Apostle) for what?
A49258Beloved, look over the world, how industrious will your companions be to draw you to sin, to draw you to the Alehouse, to draw you to profanenesse?
A49258Beloved, what''s the reason you do not keep assurance?
A49258But now, how can it be said, We must make our calling and election sure?
A49258But then they object, how can this be?
A49258But upon what uncertainties do they venture the salvation of their precious and immortal souls?
A49258But what is this ● o the denying of assurance, that m ● n can not be assured of their Election?
A49258But what''s the limitation?
A49258But you will say, was this common?
A49258Call to minde ancient dayes, did not God shew thee his face?
A49258Didst thou gain thy assurance in dayes past by humbling thy soul often before God?
A49258Didst thou gain thy comforts in dayes past by walking closely with thy God?
A49258Do the comforts you pretend to have, and the assurance you pretend to enjoy, make you more to pursue holinesse?
A49258Dost thou belong to Gods Election?
A49258Doth not the Foundation of God stand sure as the Apostle saith?
A49258Doth this lift up Paul?
A49258Ephraim shall say, what have I any more to do with Idols?
A49258First, Whether may a wicked man, a man as yet not called, be able to resist and keep off his own cal?
A49258First, when, or at what time doth God give to his people most and strongest assurance of their effectuall calling?
A49258First, whether election be universal, or no?
A49258Fourthly, It may be they are sorrowful, but how is it?
A49258Give diligence: In what?
A49258Give diligence: to what?
A49258God gave them up to strong delusions, to believe lies, that all might be damned, that believe not the truth?
A49258God make such a world of men as he hath done, and save but a few of these?
A49258Had not you therefore need of comfort, because you are exposed to more temptations from the Devil?
A49258Hast thou fallen from thy God, and never thinkest of a returning?
A49258Hast thou left a course of strictnesse, and fallen into a course of prophanesse and loosnesse?
A49258Hath not God ch ● sed the poor of this world to be rich in faith?
A49258Have not I chosen twelve, and one of them is a Devil?
A49258Have not you therefore need of diligence, seeing you have lost so much in so little time, which by all your diligence you wil never fully recover?
A49258Have you indignation against your past persecution, and evils?
A49258He hath given thee a seale in thy own brest, that heaven shall make amends for all; and wilt thou be angry?
A49258Here is his assurance: what then?
A49258Here was a people, that assen bl ● d together at the Ordinances of God; but what was their end?
A49258How can a man be sure of that which was done in Gods councel before we had a being?
A49258How can you make out upon Scripture- grounds, that you shall goe to heaven?
A49258How long, ye simple ones, will you lov ● simplicity,& c?
A49258How should this be known?
A49258How then must we make our Election sure, when all the Decrees of God stand sure?
A49258I c ● me not, s ● ith Christ, to call the righteous,& c. Mark, who are they?
A49258I came not to call the righteous; but whom?
A49258If God will do it by a Chapter read, when not by a Sermon preached, who can resist God?
A49258If from stones God can raise up children unto Abraham, why can not God do it by the Word also?
A49258If ye love them that love you, what reward have you?
A49258If you lend a man money, wil you thank and reward him to pay you your own?
A49258In case your hearing be a selfish hearing: As now, many men may hear the word with delight: why?
A49258In the discussion of this Doctrine, I begin with the first, What election is?
A49258Is it so then that Assurance is attainable in this life?
A49258Is it so, that in all matters of soul concernment we should put forth a great deal of diligence?
A49258Is not the mercy of God more then sin in the creature?
A49258Is not there free grace where there is guilt?
A49258Is that blame- worthy, to cry up Christ?
A49258It is said of Heman, 14, 15, 16. verses Lord, why hast thou cas ● ● ff my soule?
A49258It is spoken there of the man that was healed by Jesus Christ; the blind Son, that had his eyes opened by Jesus Christ: What say his Parents?
A49258It''s said there, that the Spirit of the Lord was upon Christ, what to do?
A49258John came to you in the way of righteousnesse, and y ● ● believed him not;( that is, they were not called by his Ministry) what then?
A49258Labour to strengthen your comforts, and reason thus, Why should I not beleeve in Christ?
A49258Lastly, Why is Calling here set before Election, when in order of time Election is before Calling?
A49258Let no man say, I will ascend up to heaven to fetch Christ thence, but what saith the word?
A49258Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon me; what then?
A49258Many shall strive to enter, but shal not be able, Luke 13 Had not you therefore need to take heed?
A49258Mark how indefatigable they would be; they would take so great a journey to damn a poor soul?
A49258Nigh, what to do?
A49258Now for what are you called?
A49258Now is it true, that in all matters of soul Concernment, you must put forth a great deal of diligence?
A49258Now mark; Whether of these twain will the father accept?
A49258Now think upon this in your practice, and consider, What way did I gain my comforts in yeares past?
A49258Now upon what ground doth the Apostle presse this compassion?
A49258Now were you sensible of this misery?
A49258Now what could be more vile then these?
A49258Now what is their censure?
A49258Now what shall a man doe to come to God in full assurance?
A49258Now what will God do with a soul thus tossed with a Temptation?
A49258Now what''s the reason of all this, that God should thus blast their callings and their comforts to them?
A49258Now when men are fighting for their lives, what care, and what labour, and what diligence do they put forth to save themselves?
A49258Now why doth Job complain thus?
A49258Now why was it he did so?
A49258Now( O Beloved) hath ever God done thus with your souls?
A49258Now, O Beloved, to how many do I speak this day, with whom God hath never taken this Method, since they were born into the world?
A49258Now, how could they rejoyce, unlesse they knew this?
A49258Now, if a carnal man had been to answer this, what would he have said?
A49258Now, if you ask, wherein was Herods failing?
A49258Now, is this true, that election is not universal; but that some men are elected, and others reprobated?
A49258Now, say they, if it were not possible for a man elected to fall, and fall finally, to what end is this caution of the Apostle?
A49258Now, when Christ saith, Have I not chosen you twelve?
A49258Now, who are meant here by the children of the kingdome?
A49258Now, you would ask what the meaning of all this is?
A49258O now, run to the ensuring Office: what''s that?
A49258Offer the lame and the blind to the Governour, will he accept of it?
A49258Oh Inhabitants of Lebanon, how gracious wilt thou be when thy pangs come upon thee?
A49258Preaching is the more noble work, and must be highest in our thoughts, yet if God will go out in an unusual way, who can control him?
A49258Secondly, If a man may be assured, then what is the reason many a godly man is not assured of his effectual calling?
A49258Secondly, What temptations doth the Devil suggest, to keep a wicked man from entertaining and embracing the cal of Jesus Christ?
A49258Secondly, they go yet further, There is another poor soul brought home to Jesus Christ, and what saith he?
A49258Secondly, whether a man that is once elected by God to salvation, may come to be damned, yea, or no?
A49258Shall all men be saved?
A49258Shall wicked men put forth both hands to sin, and wilt not thou put a finger to holiness, put a hand to the waies of God?
A49258So that though you are never so diligent, this diligence is not meritorious at all: Why?
A49258The man that is condemned, he hangs down his head; but the man that comes pardoned from the bar, with what a cheerful countenance will that man come?
A49258The three first cases touching wicked men are these: First, Whether a wicked man be able to resist his own call?
A49258There are three Reasons why this should be?
A49258There are three cases more touching godly men: As First, Whether may a man that is effectually called, be any way assured that he is so?
A49258There were some lying Prophetesses that did preach, but what did they doe?
A49258Therefore Fourthly, When, or at what time doth God fill the souls of his people most with the assurance of their effectual calling?
A49258Therefore seeing we are not privy to Gods decree and councel, how can it be said, that we may know and be assured of our Eternal Election?
A49258They will reason themselves into unbeliefe, and say, Lord, why should I beleeve?
A49258Thirdly, Seeing Christians must put forth diligence in making their calling sure; therefore now whereabouts must this diligence of ours be conversant?
A49258Thirdly, Would you restore your wonted comforts?
A49258Thirdly, whether God, in electing a man to life and glory, doth it out of any foresight of faith, or any other grace he sees in man?
A49258Thirdly, whether doth God elect any man to life and salvation upon foresight of his faith or good works?
A49258This therefore is the quere, whether this doctrine of election doth administer any ground for such a cavil as this to be in the minds of men?
A49258Though you have troubles in the world, yet you have joy in me, and peace in me; and therefore why should you be offended?
A49258Thus a wicked man, he may disgorge and vomit up his sins, and leave his sins, but why?
A49258Thy God hath commanded thy strength: What then?
A49258Wanted you any thing?
A49258We desire you, saith the Apostle, every one of you to shew the same diligence: to what?
A49258What a change was here in Moab?
A49258What a change was here?
A49258What are the Characters or discoveries, whereby my soul may be assured that I a ● eff ● ctually called by Jesus Christ?
A49258What benummednesse, and what sluggishnesse of spirit do most men lie under?
A49258What care do men take, and what diligence do they give to make sure their lands, and goods, and worldly estates?
A49258What diligence will an Adulterer use to watch for a Harlot in the twilight, in the evening tide?
A49258What doth David do, when he prayes for assurance?
A49258What evidence can you give of your effectual calling?
A49258What evil have they deserved of you, that you should neglect them so much?
A49258What follows?
A49258What if God do not pierce your heart, as he did those 3000 in the Acts, if he kindly open thy heart like Lidia''s without noise?
A49258What if he come to you in a calm, when he comes to others in a Tempest, if God come to me to you in a more peaceable and peaceable and quiet way?
A49258What pains will a Drunkard take to sit all day and all night at his pots?
A49258What then?
A49258What to doe?
A49258What''s that?
A49258What''s the reason a man was an Adulterer before, and is not so n ● w?
A49258What''s the reason?
A49258What, rejoyce to see them a sad people?
A49258What?
A49258What?
A49258When Christ called a companie of men there to come to him, what excuse have they?
A49258When she had assurance her sins were pardoned, what saith Christ?
A49258Wherefore?
A49258Wherein did he fail?
A49258Whether may a man that is elected fall away, and afterward perish?
A49258Who shal gainsay it?
A49258Why Beloved, have you ever seen this?
A49258Why art thou troubled O my soule, and why art thou cast down within me?
A49258Why gaddest thou so much to change thy way?
A49258Why how much more should you ensure this great and precious Jewel of Effectual Calling, that so much concerns your immortal souls?
A49258Why may I not repent to day?
A49258Why should men so account of them?
A49258Why( Beloved) shall a Usurer in all his wayes be so secure, and so heedful in all his disbursments, that he could say, It is good to be sure?
A49258Why( O Beloved) shal the Divel use diligence to damn thy soul, and wilt thou use none to save it?
A49258Why, how should this condemn that great sluggishnesse and idlenesse of mens spirits, that they do so little in the matters of soul concernments?
A49258Why?
A49258Why?
A49258Wives be subject unto your husbands, what then?
A49258Wot ye not ●, saith Christ, I was about my fathers business?
A49258Wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from this body of death?
A49258Yet what saith God?
A49258You say we must make it sure, therefore what is the nature of it?
A49258and may not I much more say to you, It is good to be sure of Heaven?
A49258and why hast thou hid thy face from me?
A49258but the Publicans and Harlots believed: what then?
A49258can a man therefore put forth his own strength?
A49258did I gain my comforts by godly sorrow, and by lamenting after God, and by mourning over those abominable failings in my practice?
A49258did he love Paul because a godly man?
A49258did not God bear thee in the palmes of his hands?
A49258did not God give thee many a smile of his countenance, and many a pledge of his love, even by affliction it selfe?
A49258did not God set many a seal upon thy heart, that thy comforts were true, thy evidence clear, and thy ends sincere towards God?
A49258did you ever see that misery that sin brought upon you?
A49258have you seen sin to be exceeding sinful?
A49258may be you look upon sin with a transient and general view but do you look upon sin so as to see more evil in sin then ever you saw before?
A49258or in what Channel must our diligence run, that we might be sure of our effectual calling?
A49258or who hath been his Counsellour?
A49258some are blamed that should say, I am of Paul, and I of Apollo, and I of Christ; Why, are men blamed for saying they are for Christ?
A49258the one being so dismal, the other so beautiful?
A49258to make the Word read a means in his own hands to effect it?
A49258upon 3000 at once, Men and Brethren, what shall we do to be saved?
A49258when Ananias doubted whether Paul was truly call''d or no, and Jesus Christ would convince Ananias that he was truly call''d: what means doth he use?
A49258whether this doctrine will favour this desperate conclusion, yea, or no?
A49258why should I take hold of a promise, that am so unholy and so unmortified a creature?
A49258why should the people forget their sorrows, and forget their pains?
A6145314 ▪ Here then if we demand, Why the Kingdom of the Son of Man is called An everlasting Kingdome?
A6145320?
A6145321?
A6145327. Who are they that are the People of the Saints of the most High?
A614538. are one and the same?
A614538. therefore he is none of the Four great Empires mentioned in the Chapter going ● … efore?
A61453According to this Rule, how can Iunius apply the Number of the Beast to the Canon- Law?
A61453According to this ground, what certainty of Interpretation is here to be had?
A61453Again, how can Ptolomaeus Philopater be one of the Ten Kings of the Seleucian line?
A61453All the Question is concerning the Assumption, Whether the Graecian ended as the Third Metal- Kingdom at the destruction of the Seleucian?
A61453All the world did agree together to worship the Beast, and to receive his Mark; and was this no impeachment to the Kingdom of Christ?
A61453And are not the words of Daniel much to the same purpose?
A61453And at this day( saith he) how many are there in the Papacy, that heap upon Kings whatsoever Right or Power they can possible?
A61453And did he not Reign as a Seleucian King?
A61453And doth he not speak of the scattering of the Holy People, and of the continuance of their dispersion to the time of the end?
A61453And doth not Daniel do the same?
A61453And hath not the Bishop of Rome for 1000 years, put himself in the place of Christ, as the Head and Law- giver to the Church of Christ?
A61453And he doth shew the irrationality of that practice: For why( saith he) should men be uncovered?
A61453And how can they receive the Name, but they must receive the Number, seeing it is styled, The Number of the Name?
A61453And how contrary is this to all colour and shew of truth?
A61453And in what times may not the like spirit of pride be in some men, when they are put into place of Rule?
A61453And is there any thing there spoken, to prove the bipartite State of the Fourth Kingdom?
A61453And may not all things be rightly applied to the Romans when they came to have supreme Dominion in the Land of Promise?
A61453And particularly, Shall the Lord Jesus give serious warning to his Church and People?
A61453And shall we then say, That the Four periods of time in Daniel''s Image, is a Scholastical and nice speculation?
A61453And so the great question was to me, how the Name or Universal Headship of the Beast should be 666?
A61453And the Christians under the Emperors of Constantinople, by the Indictions?
A61453And then he concludes, Quis non vidit illas omni aevo suo necessariò contemporare?
A61453And therefore where there is no division into pieces, what need is there of mingling to make an Union?
A61453And though in the dayes of Queen Mary, the Critical Question was, What say you to the Sacrament of the Altar?
A61453And what is the Mark of the Name, but the profession of Subjection to that Power or Headship?
A61453And what is the reason of all this?
A61453And when all this is done, shall we say, That the Four changes of time, in the Image of the Metal- Kingdoms, are but a curious speculation?
A61453And when all this is done, shall we say, That the Jews suffered nothing from the Romans during the times of their Free- state?
A61453And who can tell when these things shall come to be more clearly known to the Consciences of them which have been formerly seduced?
A61453Are they not the Ten Kings, signified by the Ten Horns?
A61453Bu ● … to what Beast shall we resemble( in its right constitution) the Davidical Kingdome it self?
A61453But can there be the like Reason given, why the Antichristian Church is so frequent in the Number 25?
A61453But first of all, how was Iulian a taker away of the daily Sacrifice?
A61453But for my part, I conceive here are two Questions to be answered; Whether that King were rightly and truly a Head of the Church at all?
A61453But here an Objection may be made concerning the present Heresies which are now in the Land, What should be done to the suppression of these?
A61453But here is a hard question to be decided by the way: How can the Beast be said to be the eighth King, and yet one of the seven Heads?
A61453But here it may be Objected, How could Augustus tax Iudea, when it was under the Power of Herod the King?
A61453But how can Antichrist assume such a Name to himself, that is only peculiarly known in the Schools?
A61453But how could those gross Heresies be so called?
A61453But how few of us are sensible of their hard condition?
A61453But how is it proved, That the Kingdom is divided only into Two parts, and that the diverse Kingdoms are only two and no more?
A61453But how is it proved, That the Kingdom was divided into Two parts only, and no more?
A61453But how is this verified in the Fourth Kingdom?
A61453But how shall we do this, if we our selves do not understand what this sin is, and what judgment the Lord will bring upon them for these things?
A61453But if you ask, What certainty there is of this Interpretation?
A61453But in what part of the times of the New Testament, must these things be fulfilled?
A61453But now a little to draw nearer to the Point: When was it that the Whore did begin to ride the Beast, and where shall we set the date of her Dominion?
A61453But now do they prove this from the text?
A61453But our Question is, Whether did the Kingdom of Christ begin as the Fifth Monarchy, as a Mountain that did fill the Earth?
A61453But our question is, concerning the times of the Great Whore; when was it that she did begin to ride the Beast?
A61453But the Question here is, Whether did he enter into the Possession of that Kingdom, yea or no?
A61453But the great Question is in specie, What latter times are here intended?
A61453But the great Question is, Whether it be his mind at all times to e ● … ert and put forth his Power?
A61453But then the great 〈 ◊ 〉 was, 〈 ◊ 〉 what time I should 〈 ◊ 〉 to Number?
A61453But to what end?
A61453But we for our parts may not onely say, Quam multi in Papatu?
A61453But what are the means that the Lord hath sanctified, to the introducing of this glory?
A61453But what of all this?
A61453But what of all this?
A61453But what part of Love is it, to signifie it in that manner, that they can not possibly understand what he meaneth?
A61453But what sin is there in the frequent use of such a Number?
A61453But what warrant have we to proceed in this method?
A61453But who shall assure us, what is certainly meant by each Trumpet?
A61453But you will say, Which are the three Kingdoms that the little Horn did subdue?
A61453By this Arrogancy what else is portended, but that the time of Antichrist is now at hand?
A61453Do not we decypher the years of the Lord in our common way of writing by figures in brief, as well as by words in their full delinearion?
A61453Do they only make the Kingdom of Christ?
A61453Doth he not Number 1290 dayes, the time of the dispersion, from the destruction of Ierusalem?
A61453Doth he not say, Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the 1335 dayes, to the glorious Restauration of that Church and Nation?
A61453FOr the carrying on of our matter, we need not imbark in that great Question, Whether the Roman be the Fourth Metal- Kingdom?
A61453Farther, What is the way of Computing?
A61453First, How doth this distinguish the Monarchies after the Scripture- difference?
A61453First, Who these wise- men were?
A61453For how could it be possible, that a Government to come might be discoverable by a Number, and that Number not extant?
A61453For how doth a State sin, when they use such a particular Number as this?
A61453For how shall a man that hath wisdome, by the Number finde out the Name, if the Number were no way discoverable in those times?
A61453For in it self, what good or what evil is in that Number?
A61453For is it not clear by the Stories, That all doth depend upon the Authority of the Romane See?
A61453For the bounds of his Spiritual Kingdom were much enlarged by their travel ▪ But what is this to the purpose?
A61453For these words are immediately added: If a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care for the Church of God?
A61453For what is Mahometism, but the waster and destroyer of the Christian Faith?
A61453For what is the Name, but the Power and Universal Headship?
A61453For what is the profession of a Roman Catholick?
A61453For what knowledge had the people that lived in the days of Iohn, and in the ages immediately following, of the account by the year of the Lord?
A61453For what man of Truth will call that a Revelation, which is no Revelation at all?
A61453For, Where should Christ be Born, but in Iudea?
A61453For, what shall be the Ten Horns, or the Ten Kings?
A61453For, where doth Daniel in his Exposition make mention of any such bipartite State?
A61453Here I demand, Did not the Lord God Omnipotent Reign before?
A61453Here I demand, How could the Idols speak vanity?
A61453Here I demand, What hath the Evangelist to do with the times of the Romans, being a Government so alien to the affairs of the Church?
A61453Here I demand, What is meant by him that readeth?
A61453Here I demand, Whose Dominion is it that they shall take away?
A61453Here I demand, Why is this Star called 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, his Star?
A61453Here I demand, what is meant by 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, by that Kingdom of God, and Power of Christ?
A61453Here then, when it is said, Thou hast a few Names; shall we understand this to be meant of Grammatical Names?
A61453Here two Questions are to be demanded: The first is, What is meant by the guests that did lie in the high- ways and the hedges?
A61453Here two questions are to be demanded, First, what did he mean when he saith, That time shall be no more?
A61453Here we may demand the reason, why these words are extended to Children and Servants?
A61453How can he make it appear, that this Law hath been in force all the times of that Kingdome?
A61453How can he so effectually bring home the lost Sons of men to Christ, when he himself never had a true feeling of his lost condition?
A61453How can the smoke of their burning ascend for ever and ever, for the superstitious use of the Number 25, the square- root of 666?
A61453How can this be applied to them?
A61453How can this be proved from his words?
A61453How can this be?
A61453How could that be?
A61453How few do mourn for the affliction of Ioseph?
A61453How great a torment would it be for a man to assay to do that thing that were altogether impossible?
A61453How long wilt thou not have mercy on Ierusalem, and the Cities of Iudah, against which thou hast indignation this three score and ten years?
A61453How many in the Papacy?
A61453I demand then, How did he compel them?
A61453I pray was this man a good Head of Gods Church?
A61453If Mahomet be the little Horn, who were the Saints of the most High whom he did wear cut?
A61453If the Bishops were true Ministers, and did rightly ordain, why then did you preach them down as Antichristian?
A61453If the Ten Horns be Ten Seleucian Kings, there will be Eleven Horns in all: and how can Ten Horns be the Character of the Beast?
A61453If the ten Horns be ten Kings, and the little Horn be the tenth, why is it said, That only three of the former were plucked up by the roots?
A61453If there be no performance of this, how can we accuse them of a sin, and we our selves be altogether ignorant what that sin is?
A61453If there be no such Name or Headship, What should be the meaning of the Apostle, when he speaketh of the Incestuous Corinthian?
A61453If therefore the Babylonians, Persians, Graecians, be all the People, how shall we make Four Monarchies of Three People?
A61453If this be so, how doth Mr. Potter give a true Exposition of the Number?
A61453If we take the Name for a Grammatical Name, what certainty can there be, and who can particularly define what the Name is?
A61453In these words, why is God the Father called, The Ancient of days?
A61453In this case then, must they who dissent be compelled to yield, or be censured as Rebels against the Laws of the State?
A61453Is he not such a one that doth believe, receive, and profess the Universal Headship of the Bishop of Rome?
A61453Is it Hebrew, Greek, or Latin?
A61453Is it not clear, by the whole tenor and scope of the text, That he speaketh of the King of the North, or the Seleucian Kingdom?
A61453Is it not directly and diametrally opposite to the Reign of the Beast?
A61453Is it the Dominion of the Fourth Beast, Hornless and harmless?
A61453Is not the New Ierusalem that City, of whom also it is foretold, that the Kings of the earth shall bring their glory to her?
A61453Is the Bride the Lambs Wife altogether destitute of these Ornaments?
A61453Let him now give his Answer, Why the Birth of Christ is recorded by the Evangelist to be in the times of the Oecumenical Tax of the Roman World?
A61453Mr Broughton who affirmeth this to be a Fourth Monarchy, how can he make it good, That the Kingdom of Christ was set up in the times of the Seleucian?
A61453Must the whole Narration of all the things there declared end at Antiochus his death?
A61453Must we finde out a signification for all these?
A61453Now I say, What must be done in this case?
A61453Now for the Names of men, shall we understand Names consisting of Letters and syllables?
A61453Now how is it possible that they could receive the Mark, but they must also receive the Name, sith it is called The Mark of the Name?
A61453Now if a question be made, Why these years should begin from the 13 of Iosiah, who was a reformer of the Church?
A61453Now if any shall ask, What proof, or what evidence I have to hold forth the truth of the thing?
A61453Now if the question be put, How, and wherein were the Nations deceived?
A61453Now if these be Eleven Kings lineally succeeding, why is the Beast called and set forth by the Character of Ten Horns?
A61453Now if you apply this to singulars, How can men rationally be tormented day and night?
A61453Now is not here a plain Antithesis, or Opposition betwixt the Ten Horns and the little Horn that came up after?
A61453Now is not the calling upon the Name of the Lord, the calling upon God himself?
A61453Now is this verified in the Nation of the Jews?
A61453Now let us inquire after the time of the emersion, how the Church came out; and the time of the immersion, how she was brought into this darkness?
A61453Now shall we think the knowledge of these things to be a nice Speculation?
A61453Now take Alexander severally from his Successors, what four Heads, or what four Divisions were there in his Kingdom?
A61453Now that the Church is called, The Temple of God, is clear from that of the Apostle, Know ye not that ye are the Temple of God?
A61453Now then, I leave it to any to judge, Whether here is not the beginning of the Fourth Metal- Kingdom in Daniel''s Image?
A61453Now then, doth not Daniel speak of the same things?
A61453Now then, how doth he apply these Predictions?
A61453Now they that hold the Ten Horns to be so many Kings in the Seleucian line, what Letter or Syllable is in the text to prove such a succession?
A61453Now what is here meant by the Name written?
A61453Now what is the Image of Daniel?
A61453Now what peaceable coming is this, when he shall begin with the extirpation of Three Kings?
A61453Now what saith Mr. Bedel to all this?
A61453Now what was the Great City, which in the days of Iohn reigned over all earthly Kings, but the City of Rome?
A61453Now where may we conceive these things are written, but in the Prophecie of Daniel?
A61453Now whereas Dr Willet maketh the Question, How ten Kings may arise out of one Kingdom at one time?
A61453Now why doth he exhort the Kings and Judges of the Earth to be wise, rather then other men?
A61453Now why is it that Compulsion should be used towards these, rather then the other two kinde of guests?
A61453Now, How can he be said to be the first King of the Graecians, seeing there were many Mighty Kings before him, in, and over that Nation?
A61453Now, if you enquire, which Successor was that One from whom Antiochus Epiphanes did spring; Did he not arise out of the Seleucian Family?
A61453Now, out of which of the Four Successors did he spring?
A61453Now, what Congruity or colour of Reason is there, That the Roman Kingdom should be destroyed for the Blasphemies of Mahomet?
A61453Now, what certainty is in all this?
A61453Now, what is there among that Society of men, which is of more common use and publick view, than the Profession of a Roman Catholick?
A61453Now, what part or parcel of the Graecian Empire did Iulius Caesar bring under the Power of the Romans?
A61453Now, when did thi ● … come to pass?
A61453Now, who can possibly believe this to be true, that readeth the three last Chapters of the Prophecie?
A61453On the other side, for the 1000 years, I would gladly know of them that differ, Where they will seat this period of time?
A61453Only here will lie the weight of the business, Whether the matter is one and the same in both Prophecies?
A61453Or have they been only used as Instruments to the Dissolution of the Fourth Kingdom?
A61453Or, Whether the Opinion of Junius and his followers be received?
A61453Remember you ● … ot when I was with you, I told you these things?
A61453Secondly, For the Circumstance of time, how long shall it be that men must worship the Beast and receive his Mark?
A61453Secondly, For the Persons; who were they that Iason carried over to receive the Mark of the Beast in the Graecian Tyranny?
A61453Secondly, To what Prophets doth he refer us, when he saith, As he hath spoken to his servants the Prophets?
A61453Secondly, What part or parcel of the Nations about the Borders of the Church, did he bring under the Roman Obedience?
A61453Secondly, Why should compulsion be used rather toward them, then to the two former kindes?
A61453Secondly, Why was it Revealed to them by a Star?
A61453Secondly, how can we apply the taking away of the daily Sacrifice to the times of Iulian?
A61453Secondly, what is meant by the book that he must reade?
A61453Shall we imagine, that he will not once mention that which is individually necessary, but altogether stand upon remoter points?
A61453Shall we say, That they are only the People of the Jewes?
A61453That being granted; the second, Whether he were a good one, yea or no?
A61453The Christians in Aegy ● … t and Africa, by the Aera of Dioclesian?
A61453The Question is this: Then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
A61453The first is concerning the Compulsive Power of the Supreme Magistrate in matters of Religion, whether that be Antichristian yea or no?
A61453The great Question is, Where we shall set the Ending of the Graecian Kingdom, as typed by the Third Beast, and the Brass- Metal?
A61453The second is, Whether it be Antichristian, to maintain the future glory and splendor of the Church of Christ upon the Earth?
A61453Therefore of necessity it must be either a Name common, or a Name proper to some State: But by what right may the Name of the Beast be called common?
A61453Therefore they who will have Lateinos to be the Name of the Beast, how do they make this the individuall Character of the Beasts Subjects?
A61453Therefore what did Phocas bestow upon the Roman Church?
A61453Thirdly, Let us come to particulars: what Three Kings were they whom Antiochus did subdue?
A61453This will not agree to the duration of Mahomet; for, what place of Scripture doth once mention such a thing?
A61453To what end were they Revealed, if there be no use of the Revelation at all?
A61453Was not his Original out of the Seleucian stock?
A61453We are not to take the Name Alphabetically; For, to what end should he command men to receive such a Name as this?
A61453We reade when our Saviour was born at Bethleem, that certain wise- men came from the East to Ierusalem, saying, Where is born the King of the Iews?
A61453We yield that there is a division in the Feet and Toes of the Image: but how is it proved, That this is a division into Two parts only, and no more?
A61453Well, be it so, still the Question is, which three of the former ten were they that the little Horn did eradicate?
A61453Well, be it so; but how proveth he this Colledge to have been in all the times of the Beasts Kingdome?
A61453Were not the Bodies, Lives, Goods, Cattel, of the Jews, and all that they had, at the Roman devotion?
A61453Were they not totally destroyed some years before the Coming of Christ in the Flesh, by the means of the Romans?
A61453What Equipage or Correspondence can there be between quid nominis,& quid rei?
A61453What a kind of slaughter would this be?
A61453What doth he mean by this, that the spirit of Antichrist was already in the world?
A61453What else should be the meaning of that expression?
A61453What good will Learning, Civility, Navigation, and other such things do, when the Church of God is under Persecution?
A61453What have Parents and Masters to do with their sanctifying of the Sabbath?
A61453What he would, he hath set up; what he would, he hath plucked down: And when all this is done, is he only a titular Head?
A61453What if this be true in many particulars, as in those aforenamed?
A61453What is meant by the Hail mingled with fire; by the Mountain burning with fire?
A61453What is meant here, by the Beast that is not?
A61453What is the cause of the Difference?
A61453What is this cure, but the renovation of the same Sovereignty in the Popes, which was formerly lost in the Caesars?
A61453What is this wound, but an intercision or cessation of all Roman Majesty in the world, at the rising of the Ten Kings?
A61453What is this, but to make a Fable of the most important and comfortable Promises that be; to neglect the substance, and to catch at a shadow?
A61453What must then be done in such a case as this?
A61453What shall be the little Horn?
A61453What shall we make of the Reign of Christ upon the Earth?
A61453What then?
A61453When a Usurpet is in the place of Government, is this no impeachment to the lawful power?
A61453When a man hath no experience, how can he understand these things that are so largely spoken of in the Epistle to the Romans?
A61453When he speaketh of the Beast with seven Heads and ten Horns, how doth he particularize and individuate the matter?
A61453Wherefore else should they appropriate the Fourth Metal- Kingdom to him only?
A61453Who can tell what a mean this may be of their undeceiving?
A61453Who shall assure us, what is meant by these Types, seeing the Spirit doth not set down his meaning, as he doth in the Vision represented to Elias?
A61453Why are two Empires set forth under one figure?
A61453Why had they any liberty given ▪ them to Afflict the Saints?
A61453Why is it said, That the taxing was when Cyreneus was Governor of Syria, and not rather when Herod was King of the Iews?
A61453Why is the most Tyrannical Prince left out of the Number?
A61453Why should not the Christians that lived in Spain, finde out the Number by the Spanish Aera?
A61453Will any man say That they were only the Saints of the Jewish Church?
A61453You demand, saith he, if this man King Henry were a good Head of Gods Church?
A61453You had your outward Calling from them, a ● … d can they give you that they never had themselves?
A61453You will say then, VVhere shall we set the beginning of the Fourth Kingdom?
A61453You will say then, What is the true meaning of Jacob''s Prophecie?
A61453You will say, What wisdome is here intended?
A61453You will say, Why is he then called, the Head of Gold, as much in sense as the first Babylonian King?
A61453You will then say, What is meant by the Name, and the Number thereof?
A61453and how do you prove the truth of this out of the Stories?
A61453and how doth the Lord speak of such notable events that should befal Da ● … iel''s People in the last and utmost Rere- ward of time?
A61453and is not then the litle Horn the Eleventh in the same succession?
A61453and why should they bow their knee at the Name of Iesus, rather than at the Name of Christ, or at the Name of God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost?
A61453or were ye baptized in the Name of Paul?
A61453shall we argue, as many do, That the Discovery of Antichrist will not be till the end of the world?
A61453shall we say that it is a Name consisting of Letters and syllables?
A61453the trusting in the Name of the Lord, the trusting upon the Lord himself?
A61453was Paul crucified for you?
A61453why is the hair of his head compared to the pure wooll?
A61453▪ How shall all these be attributed to the Roman Kingdom, if it End at the Coming of Christ?
A31961& c. Fifthly, How canst thou think on the day of Judgement, on the time when thou must receive thy final sentence, if thou hast not received Christ?
A31961& why so?
A31961''t is the mercy of God, it is not gone already: Are we in Captivity?
