A7019410?
A70194139. from the first to the 14. of possessing the Reins, and being omnipresent?
A7019416 p. Printed for Jonathan Robinson..., London:[ 1678?]
A70194And if they are for the pre- existence of the soul of Christs Manhood, why not for the pre- existence of the souls of all other men?
A70194Herein again he is unlike to us, and how is he( let them tell us) the son of Mary, David,& c?
A70194How doth the Christian savour this is it not rampant blasphemy?
A70194How was Christ like unto Moses, if he had not a soul of the same nature with Moses his soul?
A70194I ask why not in some manner in all Devils?
A70194I ask, why is not this man Christ in all the fallen Angels as well as fallen men?
A70194I do but query, whether this Life and Spirit of the Manhood of Christ be not the same with, or differing from the Holy Ghost?
A70194If it be not the same, but a Creature( as afterwards he confesses,) how any thing that is but a Creature can be food for Saints to Eternal Life?
A70194Is this Manhood God, is it the Word, is it the Son of God?
A70194Was it the soul of the Manhood which Keith is speaking of, which afterward he saith is omnipresent?
A70194Was the man that appeared so frequently to the Patriarchs without it?
A70194We query notwithstanding what is said to the contrary, whether this is not to constitute a new God in time?
A70194We query whether this Manhood of Christ that is in every one, be not the same with that Light the Quakers have so much talked of?
A70194What is the riches of the glory of this mystery in the Gentiles?
A70194Whether dost thou believe that the same body of man after the departure of the soul from it, doth rise to life again?
A70194Whither can I fly from thy presence?
A70194and how one Body of Flesh and Blood can penetrate another?
A70194and if so, whether you mean any thing but the soul of the heavenly Manhood which he had before the World was?
A70194and is not this Nischma breathed into every man that is made alive in the womb, as it was breathed into Adam in his creation?
A70194and why this Heavenly man Christ should be called by the Author, the second Adam, when as he was the first Adam?
A47172And after this, who can say but we had liberty to meet where we thought fit?
A47172And hath not G. Whiteheads printed Epistle had as much that tendency, for his printing against the vile Practises of many more than ever I charged?
A47172And must all this be fathered upon the Spirit of God?
A47172And who will say, that the worthy Name of Christian doth belong to such?
A47172Do not many Friends keep two publick Meetings on First days, here in the City?
A47172How hath prejudice blinded him?
A47172In answer to my proposition, desiring it might be so, he saith, by way of insinuation, Is that a new thing to be done now?
A47172Is not my clearing my self of the blame of the Separation, a matter of Fact, in my Book?
A47172Is this any disdainful spurning?
A47172O Lord, are not thine Eyes upon the truth?
A47172Or, Whether also by his outward Coming and Appearance in his glorified Person, even the glorified Man Christ Jesus?
A47172Secondly, he saith, R. B. doth not make a bare profession, verbal confession, any Terms at all?
A47172VVhether he shall outwardly come to judge all Mankind?
A47172Wilson did witness, That I said, and so began the separation; Then wherein can we be justly blamed?
A47172and why did they contradict the sound Judgment of a monthly meeting at Philadelphia, passing due Censure upon W. S. six Months thereafter?
A47172— Wherefore when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
A47180And if we have said so( saith W. P.) must not the Bishop be extreamly beside the business?
A47180But for what must he needs Pity the Bishop?
A47180But how is that, together with the Scriptures, a double and agreeing Record?
A47180But what doth W. P. mean by Christ the Propitiation, and Faith in him as such?
A47180But what way to the Kingdom do they Preach?
A47180But why must the Felicity of the Soul depend upon that of the Body?
A47180Can any King on Earth be more Arbitrary?
A47180Can it touch us, or should he have said it, and not have proved it?
A47180Can there be a greater fallacy, and greater Jesuitical Equivocation under Heaven?
A47180Can this be done, without an Operation of the Holy Spirit?
A47180How then is it Christ himself the Word God?
A47180Is not the Manifestation of Christ in the Soul of Man, a Work of Christ?
A47180Is that fair and candid; Is it charitable, supposing it were true, which does not appear?
A47180Is the Joy of the Ancients( saith W. P.) now in Glory imperfect, or are they in Heaven but by halves?
A47180Or is it just to insinuate upon the People as dubious?
A47180Or wherein do W. P''s fruits of a holy Life, give more evidence of his knowledge and experience of the new Birth, than these of the Bishop?
A47180Possibly they will say, Christ, who said he was the way: But how do they Preach him to be the way?
A47180Whither he that was born of the Virgin Mary, and dyed,& c. was the Christ and the Son of God truly and properly?
A47180Will the Quakers saying it prove it?
A47180doth he mean the same that the Bishop meaneth, and all sincere Christians?
A47180his Opponent R. G.) for these words?
A47155Am I malicious either to the one or the other, to tell them, I would not have the Bapists out- do them, in Zeal for the Christian Faith?
A47155And let sincere Christians judge, whether is the greatest Idolatry, to worship the Devil within, or a piece of Bread without?
A47155Are they all ill Men, that have the same Opinion of them as I now have?
A47155Are we not commanded to Contend earnestly for the Faith once delivered to the Saints?
A47155But against what?
A47155But how doth he prove that I am malicious to the Pious and Learned in the Church of England, or among the Dissenters?
A47155But must not the Truth be contended for?
A47155But now I bless God, I am undeceived in them, I know them better: And what would they have more?
A47155But what if I should blame the Philosophy that is now taught in all the Colleges?
A47155But where is the far different case?
A47155Charles the Second, and what others have Printed of the like Nature, and what G. F. the Elder, and E. B. have printed to Parliaments?
A47155Do we promote Errors,( saith he) worse than worshipping a piece of Bread as God?
A47155Hath he ever retracted this?
A47155If not, what encouragement have ye to become his Journey- Men, to work under him?
A47155Is all Britain become such a Sodom, that there are not ten Pious or Righteous Persons to be found in it among all the Millions that dissent from them?
A47155Is it not an evident Argument of my love to them?
A47155Is not the like commonly practised from time to time, without the least offence?
A47155Is there any thing like this in my Expostulation with them?
A47155Is there no other good Learning, but that called Philosophy?
A47155O ye partial Judges, why judge ye so partially and insincerely that in another, wherein ye are so guilty your selves?
A47155This he denyeth to be true: But with what Face of Brass could he deny it?
A47155Was the taking away the Preachers Hour- glass with G. F. justified, but a clearing themselves?
A47155Why?
A47155they have given Dissenters from them, both Episcopal and Nonconformists, in general, do they make no exception?
A47155why they should suppress my Books, and the Civil Authority should not suppress theirs?
A35020After a hostile manner?
A35020And because I refused to submit my Faith to the Determination of that Meeting, in that Question, Whether God be present in all his Creatures?
A35020But what Conviction is there of this?
A35020But what are these Scandalous things?
A35020But what harm is there in that?
A35020Do not I now wage War and Fight?
A35020Doth not the Spirit of God speak in the Church?
A35020Doth the Spirit speak in Trees?
A35020Is there any thing more than this?
A35020Or what that bears the least Resemblance of it?
A35020Sometimes the Soldiers came alone, and being asked, by whose Command they came, and what Authority they had?
A35020What more, I pray, doth the Church of Rome presume?
A35020What necessity, or Law, Custom, or Example is there for that?
A35020What the least proof of it?
A35020While these things consist with Equity and Reason, and he may without prejudice to himself and them?
A35020Whom?
A35020am not I now a Soldier already?
A35020do you think to wheedle me into your Service by your large Promises?
A35020what shall I say as to what appertains to thy Salvation?
A45134And he answered, How can I, except some Man should guide me?
A45134And how shall they hear without a Preacher?
A45134And shall not Uncircumcision, which is by nature, if it fulfil the Law, judge thee, who by the Letter and Circumcision doest break the Law?
A45134And what could be desired more full and convincing?
A45134And what shall we conclude then, from both Instances, but that which Peter, upon Conviction, himself concludes?
A45134As for the Ancients, before Abraham and Moses, what Revelation they had of God''s Will, Who can tell?
A45134Besides, if Christ be Party, how is he Mediator?
A45134Does the Bishop believe so?
A45134I would fain therefore ask the Bishop, whether a Literal and Grammatical Construction can be made to salve all the other Articles, as well as this?
A45134If God and Christ be the Parties, and not God and Man, how is he the Mediator between God and Men?
A45134If God''s Government over the Heathen was not by the Law of Grace, how could the Ninevites, by their Repentance have diverted his Judgments?
A45134If the Articles then must be subscribed in the Literal Grammatical Sense, what shall we do with them?
A45134If you ask me, what that is, wherein this Possibility is placed?
A45134Is he not of the Gentiles?
A45134Is he the God of the Jews only?
A45134That the Righteous be as the Wicked, that be far from thee,( says he) shall not the Judge of all the Earth do Right?
A45134The Usual Interpretation of these Articles, who can tell?
A45134They were without God: How is that?
A45134This is to maintain two things, inconsistent with one another: And here I ask''d you therefore, how you could make out the Mystery?
A45134This is well, exceeding well; but is this a Literal Gramatical Construction?
A45134We read in the Acts of the Eunuch, that Man of Authority, a Proselyte, reading in Isaiah, Philip asks him, Understandest thou what thou readest?
A45134What advantage then hath the Jew above the Gentile?
A45134What need is there of this, seeing Abraham was in a justified State already?
A45134Who is the House of Israel, now the Partition Wall between the Jew and Gentile is down, but the whole World?
A45134Will the word[ thor ● ● ly] so Literally and Grammatically be thus expounded?
A45134Without the Covenant: How is that?
A45134You ask( in your Book) Who taught Abraham, Job, our first Parents, but God and Christ, by the Holy Spirit in their Hearts?
A45134says, It has been an uncharitable Question, Whether any of the Gentiles should be saved?
A4715622. thou says of Christ who was never defiled, having the iniquities of us all in h ● s body& c. how unsound are thy words?
A47156And is it no ▪ perfection they have wa ● ted and travelled, to be ● e ● ewed into the image of the heavenly?
A47156And now does thou know what thou speakes?
A47156But did thou ever read or hear from any of us, as if we counted the blood of Christ, even in the outward, as the blood of any ordinary man, or beast?
A47156But first, Were the Saints made the righteousness of God in Christ, without any inward qualification or work of his light or spirit?
A47156But for whom doth R. G. reckon?
A47156For first, if all things be already wrought in the crurified body, what doth he interceed for?
A47156How has thy prejudice blinded thee in this and many other things?
A47156In the same page thou says: if in every man this seed or Christ is not saved: doeth it remain for ever under condemnation?
A47156R. G. God said to Adam, in the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt die( it could not be revoked) who could fulfil the requirings of Wrath and satisfie?
A47156See his manifest contradictions: How is sin and transgression finished and made an end of without man, while no good is wrought in them?
A47156To this he thus answers; To this spirit, I say, who art thou that thus a ● gues with God?
A47156and is not their faith their victory over sin and death?
A47156are they not members of Christ?
A47156doth it remain for ever in some under condemnation?
A47156for surely sin can not live in any measure ▪ where it finde ● no entertainment?
A47156owns his doctrine herein?)
A47156whether art thou driven?
A47156who could have answered the requirings of love, and fulfil the requirings of wrath that would hold man captive in death, and yet satisfie both?
A47174110. an inward and spiritual Day?
A47174And again, Shall not my Soul be avenged?
A47174And as to his Question, How People may know whether we have an Immediate Call to the Ministry?
A47174And as to his Question, How we shall know Light within from Thought within?
A47174And is not this an inward Day?
A47174And whereas he saith, If they own those Principles, why wo n''t they give us leave to own them?
A47174And whether David, lying in his sins of Adultery& Murder, remained Justified?
A47174Are these Fruits only outward words and works, that Hypocrites may have; for there is nothing barely outward but Hypocrites may have?
A47174How little a portion is heard of him?
A47174If he ● ● y, they may be known by their Fruits, I query again, By what Fruits?
A47174excuse him, and say, it is a Catachrestical or improper manner of Speech, and is not to be strictly taken?
A47174is Demetrius risen again from the dead?
A47174saith, but doth not prove; must the innocent suffer for the guilty?
A47174they answer, By the Spirit: And again, By what do they know the Spirit?
A47174think, that Calvin words doth not infer a Purgatory, why should he surmize any such thing from mine?
A47174to this?
A47147And how could we but be grieved and uneasie to see so many blinded and deceived by that false Judgment given out against us?
A47147And what if they had called me, and I had refused to come, as was not so?
A47147Beside, by whom will be prove them, seeing he hath none but his own Party to give proof in the case?
A47147But if to indict and accuse, be sufficient proof, without any other evidence, who but shall be guilty, tho the most innocent?
A47147But ought we not to be uneasie under your Wickedness, and false Judgment, ought not the Sins of others to be a burthen to us?
A47147But, Whether that Faith were indispensibly necessary to all Mankind?
A47147Can any thing of Bill ● ngs- gate Rhetorick exceed this of his?
A47147Doth not this shew an extraordinary height of Ambition in them, as well as degeneration from their former Principle?
A47147Doth that prove, that he sent it open?
A47147For are not all the Followers of the Lord Jesus like him, whereof I am one?
A47147His pervertion and f ● llacy, to make void his Crime of persecution, 〈 ◊ 〉 our 〈 … 〉 what did he, or Thomas Budd suffer?
A47147May it not be replyed to him, Was that Person always with him?
A47147Pray let the Reader judge, if this was not Covetousness and Oppression both?
A47147This, I suppose, is possible; but when was it that he did so profess to believe?
A47147What instance can be given, that ever any Friend in a monthly Meeting called for a Constable?
A47147[ And I refer it to the Impartial Reader, whether this, his Book, be not a sham put upon the World?

A47160& c. Also, the Homousian and Arian, about Christ''s Divinity, or the Papists or Protestants, about Transubstantion?
A47160After some time, Charles Harford Senior said to me, George I have a Question or two to ask thee?
A47160And art thou not now of the Church of England?
A47160And do ye not say, the Spirit is in you, given you of God, to direct your Steps?
A47160And was thou not then in an Error?
A47160And was thou not then in an Error?
A47160And was you not afterwards a Quaker?
A47160Are you not a Creature?
A47160But I can not Read the Scripture?
A47160But ye can hear them Read, and Expounded by Preaching; and Faith comes by Hearing, as well as by Reading?
A47160By what Rule do you Believe this?
A47160C. Harford Was thou not once a Presbyterian?
A47160Do ye believe that Christ Dyed for you?
A47160Do ye mean by Perfect as God is Perfect, to be equal to God in Perfection, or only to be like him?
A47160Do ye understand the Distinction, between a Cobler and Cobling?
A47160Dost thou not joyn with the Church of England, in her Prayers, that thou dost Err and Stray like a Lost Sheep?
A47160Doth God require of me, or any Man, an Impossibility?
A47160Hath Christ within you, or if ye should say God Almighty, hath he Taught you this Belief without Scripture, that Christ Dyed for you?
A47160I am a Cobler?
A47160I have told you, I can not Read the Scripture?
A47160I understand not that Distinction; but I ask, What Rule hath God given me, that I may be Perfect, as God is Perfect?
A47160I understand not the Distinction?
A47160Is not Christ within, the hope of Glory?
A47160Is not the Light in Man, to Direct his Steps?
A47160My Name is Charles Harford?
A47160Or hath the Light within you, without Scripture, Taught you this?
A47160Say, what is it?
A47160What Rule hath God given me, that I may be Perfect, as God is Perfect?
A47160What is Christ, but Meekness, Justice, and Mercy, Patience, Charity, and Vertue in Perfection?
A47160What is that?
A47160What is your Name?
A47160What say ye to this?
A47160What say''st thou to this, George?
A47160Where have I call''d you Beast?
A47160Why may I not call ye a Creature, as well as ye call me a Beast?
A47160[ Note, Why should a Man who thinks he has the Spirit, refuse to dispute with a Man that has Logick?
A4716673.?
A471668?
A47166Again doth not I. M. blame them who preferre the inward dictats of the Spirit to the outward testimony of the Scripture?
A47166And is not the spirit of Christ writting the law in the heart, the original of the Scripturs?
A47166And is not this inward call, a reall commandement, seing it is a transgression to refuse to hearken to it?
A47166Ay but I ask, how he hath the KING''S- Goods?
A47166But if this prove not Augustin to be a Papist how will it prove us the people called Quakers to be Papists?
A47166But let me ask I. M. one question or two First, doth he think it a matter of faith that these books are not equall to Scripture?
A47166By what rule of faith, he doth know, or can prove, that they are not equall to Scripture?
A47166Charge Gaspar, Swenkfeldius, and the Libertines, as declyning the Scripturs, and only flying to the inward dictats of the Spirit?
A47166Qu II Whither is a rule that can be wrested, or a Rule that can not be wrested ▪ but is inviolable; unalterable, the best Rule?
A47166V. Whither is a Rule that gives power and strength to obey whatever it commands, or a rule that does not so the best rule?
A47166Was it the outward testimony of the Scripture?
A47166Well then, and doth not I. M. oppose the same?
A47166What cleared him of this doubt, and raised up his minde over this temptation?
A47166What is it to believe in Him, but by believing to love Him?
A47166Whither is a living Rule, or that which lives not the best Rule?
A47166Whither is a rule that a man may loss and be robbed of ▪ by outward violence or a Rule that can not be losed by any outward violence the best rule?
A47166Whither is the original of the Scripturs, or a transcription and translation of them the best rule?
A47166and did not such( viz Abel, Enoch, Noah) know certainly the Spirit of Christ in his own manifestation without the Scripturs, yea or nay?
A47166and doth not the spirit give power and strength to obey what it commands doth it not give life?
A47166and hade not many of the Saints a Rule, before Scripture was written?
A47166and hath not the spirit of Christ in the heart of a Christian, this vertue of it self, or hath the Scripture this vertue of it self, yea or nay?
A47166and whether the Scripturs may be losed by outward violence?
A47166and whither a rule that gives life, or a rule that kills be the best Rule?
A47166and whither is the Scripture a living Rule or the spirit of Christ, yea or nay?
A47166and whither may the Scripturs be wrested?
A47166and whither of these is true of the Spirit, or of the Scripturs, yea, or nay?
A47166and whither of these is true, of the Scripturs, or of the spirit, yea or nay?
A47166but doth or can the Scripturs doe so?
A47166doth not the letter kill, yea or nay?
A47166or can the spirit of Christ be losed by any outward violence yea or nay?
A47166or is the Hebrew and Greek the first originall, yea or nay?
A47200And did not he command her to speak unto the Apostles, and Instruct them concerning his Resurrection?
A47200And did not the Lord after his Resurrection first of all appear unto a woman, to wit, Mary Magdalene?
A47200And is not this fulfilled abundantly?
A47200And now, How can these Men be taught of the Lord himself, or immediately to Preach Christ, who deny the thing it self?
A47200And that the Apostle saith, if they continue what is to be understood by these words?
A47200And then what is their Preaching of him?
A47200And was not this Convention a Church?
A47200And what sort of Faith was this?
A47200And will not th ● se 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 to have all like themselves?
A47200And yet doth not this Principle of theirs, That wicked Men may be Preachers, and ought to be Received, lay a Foundation for a wicked 〈 ◊ 〉?
A47200And 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 being laid with their own Hands, will not wicked Men come in thick and throng?
A47200But which of them can say in the sight of God, at this day, they preach freely without an eye to money or outward reward?
A47200But, How came this Woman to be a Preacher of Christ?
A47200Come, See a Man that told me all things that ever I did, is not this the Christ?
A47200Come, said she, see a man who hath told me all that ever I did, Is not this the Christ?
A47200Could their voice be heard in the streets?
A47200Did they preach then openly and in view?
A47200First, Who taught her?
A47200Has not Man, and the power and dread of Man, oft shut their mouths, and Man, with a little of his forbearance, or winking at them, opened them again?
A47200Hath he lost the power of his Speech, or his willingness to speak, that he hath been so long silent?
A47200He hath told me all that ever I did, is not this the Christ?
A47200How can we have Charity unto them to believe they are so taught, while they deny that any are so taught in those days?
A47200Is he not the Light of the world, who lighteth every man that cometh into the world, that all men through him might believe?
A47200Is the Lord wholly absent from his Church?
A47200Or if he be present with her, and in her, doth he never speak himself?
A47200Secondly, Who called her?
A47200That no Women are to speak in the Church; or that Women in no case are to speak in the Church?
A47200Was it onely an Historical Faith, which Hypocrites, and ungodly Men have, whereof Paul and David spake?
A47200What great matter can they tell of Christ?
A47200What should men hear them for?
A47200What sort of Women then is it, whom Paul doth not permit to speak in the Church?
A47200Where is the profitting of the people?
A47200Whether outward and Natural Children; or such Children as Bernard expoundeth to be good works?
A47200Who, among them all, thus preach him from their own experience?
A47200Yea, do not many of themselves see it, and have they not complained of it?
A47200and that both in Believers, and Unbelievers, doth he not by his Spirit convince the world of Sin?
A47200doe they not remain still in their sins and wickedness?
A47200how much of this has been seen these years by past among these called, or accounted the best sort of them?
A47200or who preach him as the Psalmist did, who said Come, and I will tell you what God hath done for my Soul?
A47200what great or excellent thing can they attain by their Preaching, who deny that they can either hear him, or see him while they are upon Earth?
A47149And how is it, that after Sixteen Years the Book hath been in print, we never heard of such Amendment till now?
A47149And is Faith in that Outward Blood so outwardly shed, as the Payment of our Debt, and Satisfaction for our Sins; is this the true saving Faith?
A47149And whether the Righteousness of it doth tell of seeking and finding Christ above the Clouds, Stars, and Firmament?
A47149And why was it not put in the Book as an Errour of the Press, seeing many less Errours are usually corrected?
A47149But did not Christ direct his Disciples to pray to God, saying, Our Father which art in Heaven; and was that only within Men?
A47149But why must the Felicity of the Soul depend on that of the Body?
A47149But why tells he so much of above the Clouds; are not the Clouds and Circumference of the Heavens as well under us as above us?
A47149DO you believe in Christ without you now in Heaven?
A47149Do you believe in a Christ without you, now in Heaven?
A47149Do you believe that the Saints, generally, or any of them have already attain''d the Resurrection either before or since Christ came into the World?
A47149Eighthly, Is not this to make the Sacrifice of Christ in his own Body of less Value and Efficacy than his Sacrifice in William Penn''s Body?
A47149Fourthly, Where doth the Scripture say Christ offers up himself in his Children a Sacrifice for Sin?
A47149George Whitehead asking, If they did live and remain to a Personal Coming of Christ in the Clouds, yea or nay?
A47149If George Whitehead, why did he not Name him?
A47149Is Christ now at this Day, and for ever to come, truly and really a Man, in true and proper Humane Nature, without all other Men?
A47149Is Christ now at this day, and for ever to come, truly and really a Man, in true and proper Humane Nature without all Men?
A47149Is it not to make the Soul a kind of a Widow, and so in a State of Mourning and Disconsolateness, to be without its beloved Body?
A47149Is not this the very Argument of Arians,& c?
A47149Is the Joy of the Ancients now in Glory( saith he) imperfect, or are they in Heaven but by halfs?
A47149May there not be then( saith he) a very wonderful Change in the Body, and yet the Substance not annihilated nor destroyed?
A47149Ninthly, Doth not this strengthen the Papists in their false Faith, That Christ is daily offer''d in the Mass and unbloody Sacrifice?
A47149Or do you believe an Outward or Literal Resurrection to come, contrary to Hymeneus and Philetus?
A47149Query V. Do ye believe that Christ, or the Eternal Word, was so made Flesh, that he truly and really became Man; as truly Man as he was God,& c?
A47149Secondly, Seeing it is the Nature of all Sacrifices for Sin, that they be slain, and their Blood shed, how is Christ slain in his Children, and when?
A47149Secondly, Who mended it in the Book he hath, and when was it amended?
A47149Seventhly, Why was it prophesied of Christ, A Body hast thou prepared me; why not Bodies many, if he offer up himself in the Bodies of all the Saints?
A47149So where they add the Word Personal, or his coming again, or Personal Being, do they not herein shew their carnal Expectations,& c?
A47149The Light and Life of Christ within; Is it good Doctrine to say that God pacify''d God when he saw himself angry?
A47149The same Bodies in Substance( tho''alter''d in Qualities and Properties) which we now have, and shall lie down in the Dust?
A47149Thirdly, Why was not this Amendment made in all the other Books or Copies, as well as that one?
A47149Was his outward Blood outwardly shed at Jerusalem, the true Propitiation and Satisfaction for the Sins of the World, and is Faith in that Blood,& c?
A47149Was his outward Blood outwardly shed at Jerusalem, the true Propitiation and Satisfaction for the Sins of the World?
A47149Where doth George Whitehead find such an Expression in Scripture for Christ his being God- Man within, but not God- Man without?
A47149Whitehead''s Argument; That the killing of Christ outwardly being the Act of wicked Men, could be no meritorious Act?
A47149Will he return in that same Body Outwardly, or without Men, to judge the World,& c?
A47149Will he return in the same Body outwardly, or without Men, to judge the World in the last Day?
A47149Will our Dead Bodies then arise the same Bodies in Substance( though altered in Qualities and Properties) which we now have?
A47149Will our dead Bodies then arise?
A47149[ He goes on] I ask, if the Object or Foundation of Faith be divided from the Faith; or if the living Faith doth not stand in the living Power of God?
A47161A Person standing by, said, May not sin be reproved in a Bishop or Magistrate?
A47161And pray let it be enquired into, whether S. J. did not take away the M. adow of Richard Matthews, who being in England, took the Advantage?

A47161Bradford attended, and desired to know whether he should have his Utensils, and be discharged?
A47161Budd was asked, If he had any Exceptions to make against any of them?
A47161But W. B. insisted to know, Whether on the issue of the Presentment, he was clear of the Mittimus?
A47161But before they were attested, they asked W. B. if he had any Exceptions to make against any of them that were returned for the Jury?
A47161Clark, By whom will you be tryed?
A47161Clark, By whom wilt thou be tryed?
A47161Clark, VVhat say you, George Keith, to your Presentment, are you Guilty or not Guilty?
A47161D. Lloyd, It is grounded both on Statute and Common Law?
A47161Dost thou object any thing against any of these Persons?
A47161Doth the Spirit of God speak in Trees?
A47161G. K. Then why do ye admit of Appeals?
A47161G. K. What is he then?
A47161Is it not possible that at times they may give an unjust Sentence?
A47161Is not this to talk 〈 ◊ 〉 if he were the Almighty?
A47161Jenings the Quaker be?
A47161Justice Cook, If it was intended for the Yearly Meeting at Burlington, why was it published and spread abroad before the Meeting?
A47161Lloyd& Clark, These are no Exceptions in Law; hast thou at any time heard them say that th ● ● printed that Paper?

A47161Suppose I had been the greatest Malefactor, will any say, A F ● ● l Jury will serve to try me?
A47161The Presentment being read, the Clark said, Thomas Budd, What say yo ●, are you guilty, as you stand here presented, or not guilty?
A47161VVhether the Law did rejui ● e two Evidences to find a man guilty?
A47161Whether to preach Faith in Christ within us, and Faith in Christ without us, was to preach Two Christs, or One?
A47161White, It s not usual to insert in Indictments against what Statute the Offence is, when it s against several Statutes& Laws made?
A47161Would ye be willing that a company of men wholly of our side,( tho''honest) should be on a Jury to judge you?
A47161and whether J. Slocum did not re ● use to take the advantage of him, because S. J. was D ● unk,& c?
A47161is not this to destroy all Fundamental Laws?
A47161let me see that Statute and Common Law, else how shall I make my Plea?
A47161or to have enquired of him, Whether it was against the Government that he intended by such and such words therein?
A47199Also are there not times, wherein thou canst observe this to manifest it self more strongly, then at other times?
A47199And how doth a man give his heart unto him, but by turning it towards him?
A47199And if thou ask, Wherein doth the appearance of the one from the other so far differ, that it may be so easily discerned?
A47199And seeing the same help is administred unto thee, which was unto them, why mayst thou not find it, and enter thereinto as well?
A47199And though many do not this outwardly, as others who are more gross, yet how many do it inwardly?
A47199And why might not Christ suffer in men, before his outward coming, as he doth now suffer in them, long after it?
A47199And yet further, hast thou never observed it drawing thy heart inward, unto it self, though faintly and weakly?
A47199And, whether I am become a partaker of the Holy Life, and Powers thereof, yea or nay?
A47199As also, Whether or not I have passed truly through the other steps aforesaid, in some measure?
A47199But it may be said, Is not faith a work?
A47199But perhaps some may say, Is not Conversion a being operative, how then dost thou require us to convert, and cease from being operative?
A47199By this warrant, I say, I do not conceive that the Soul for every thing it doth, is to have an absolute and possitive command?
A47199Can the outward Sun shine, and inlighten the Earth, and have no operation, nor influence upon it?
A47199Dost not thou find somewhat in thy very heart discovering the evils and pollutions thereof in some measure?
A47199For how can a man enter into a way, and know nothing thereof, neither more nor less?
A47199For what is a man''s own thoughts, but the product and fruit of a carnal mind?
A47199How did God speak unto Cain, and expostulate with him?
A47199How have they come by this Holiness?
A47199How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
A47199I am unclean, unclean and evil?
A47199May it not be said unto him, Why standst thou so long idle?
A47199Nay, Such a way they have not known, and they commonly call it fancy, errour, and what not?
A47199Or did they attain unto their holiness by falling instantly upon working and operative exercises, as their Parents, or Masters have taught them?
A47199Perhaps the Soul may say, I do not find God or Christ in me, how then can I turn unto him whom I can not find?
A47199Some may say, If these things be so, then who can be saved?
A47199Thou maist say then, What shall I do?
A47199Wouldst thou indeed bring forth the fruits of good works unto the Lord?
A47199Yea has not God a way of saving Infants, and the Dumb and Deaf, who have not that express knowledg?
A47199Yea, are there not times that thou find''st it lie as a burden and load upon thy very heart?
A47199Yea, certainly they have, for how many Thousands have been Saved before Christ''s coming in the outward; who knew it not expresly?
A47199Yea, will not the Devil move strongly in them, to resist and mar the work of the Lord?
A47199and is not believing working?
A47199and what is the matter of his trouble?
A47199c. 3. v. 2. Who may abide the day of his coming, and who shall stand when he appeareth, for he shall be as the refiners fire and fullers Soap?
A47199or, can the Fire burn and have no operation, or influence upon what is next unto it?
A632182dly, Whether it did not tend to the Disturbance of the Peace?
A63218A Person standing by, said, May not sin be reproved in a Bishop or Magistrate?
A63218And pray let it be enquired into, whether S. J. did not take away the Meadow of Richard Matthews, who being in England, took the Advantage?
A63218And pray let it be enquired into, whether it was S. J. or J. Simcock that was by two Persons carried to Bed Drunk?
A63218And, 3dly, Whether William Bradford did not print it, without putting his Name to it, as the Law requires?
A63218Antrum had actually begun to do?
A63218Are you Guilty or Not Guilty of this Presentment?
A63218Are you Guilty or Not Guilty?
A63218Are you Guilty, as you stand here presented, or Not Guilty?
A63218Are your Courts infallible?
A63218Budd was asked, If he had any Exceptions to make against any of them?
A63218But W. B. insisted to know, Whether on the issue of the Presentment, he was clear of the Mittimus?
A63218But before they were attested, they asked W. B. if he had any Exceptions to make against any of them that were returned for the Jury?
A63218By whom will you be tried?
A63218Clerk, By whom wilt thou be tryed?
A63218Clerk, Dost thou object any thing against any of these Persons?
A63218Clerk, Peter Boss, What saist thou, art thou guilty or not guilty?
A63218D. Lloyd and Clerk, These are no Exceptions in Law; hast thou at any time heard them say that thou printed that Paper?
A63218G. K. Then why do you admit of Appeals?
A63218G. K. What is he then?
A63218Is it not possible that at times they may give an unjust Sentence?
A63218Is not this to destroy all Fundamental Laws?
A63218Is not this to talk as if he were the Almighty?
A63218Jenings the Quaker be?
A63218Justice Cook said, What Bold, Impudent and Confident Fellows are these to stand thus confidently before the Court?
A63218Justice Cook, If it was intended for the Yearly Meeting at Burlington, why was it published and spread abroad before the Meeting?
A63218Or did they think we had forgot Thomas Lloyd was Deputy- Governour?
A63218Or to have enquired of him, Whether it was against the Government that he intended by such and such words therein?
A63218Pray let it be queried into, whether it was not true that S. J. did wage his Horse with John Slocum, to ride a Race with their Horses?
A63218Suppose I had been the greatest Malefactor, will any say, A Foul Jury will serve to try me?
A63218The Presentment being read, the Clerk said, Thomas Budd, What say you?
A63218To which G. K. replied, Why should he Record me nihil dicit?
A63218W. B. Pray let me see that Statute and Common Law, else how shall I make my Plea?
A63218What say you, George Keith, to your Presentment?
A63218What say you, George Keith?
A63218Whether the Law did require two Evidences to find a man guilty?
A63218Whether to preach Faith in Christ within us, and Faith in Christ without us, was to preach Two Christs, or One?
A63218Why?
A63218Would ye be willing that a Company of Men wholly of our side,( tho''honest) should be on a Jury to judge you?
A63218and whether J. Slocum did not refuse to take the Advantage of him, because S. J. was Drunk,& c?
A63218is it not above the Power of mortal Man, to say, If I draw out my Hand, I will not pull it in until I have quelled you all?
A47152And did not the Light, wherein is their habitation, Reveal and make them Manifest?
A47152And is he not a Priest forever in them, and a Prophet?
A47152And is not the rule or law whereby he rules immediate?
A47152And so never to cease; and this kingdom of his, what is it?
A47152Asking Peter who he was?
A47152But do these words prove, there were no more Books or Words to proceed from the Inspiration of the Spirit of God: how many Prophets came after Moses?
A47152But what saies this, Concerning the number of the Books?
A47152But what?
A47152Does it prove, That no more Scripture is to be written, nor any after Luke spoke or wrot from the inspiration of the Spirit of God?
A47152Does the Cannon close here?
A47152For whatsoever things were written afore- time, were written for our learning,& c. What then?
A47152Or could Luk''s word?
A47152Was it not Jesus Christ the Word, which was in the beginning, had it any other Foundation; and what gave them the knowledge of this Foundation?
A47152Was not much writ afterwards?
A47152What a strange thing is it, that men are so impudent to call it fancy delusion and blasphemy; and if Christ be in his Saints, is he not King in them?
A47152What do they prove, that no more Scripture was to be, writ after them?
A47152What evil is this?
A47152],[ Aberdeen?
A47152and builded them upon it, when they had no Scripture; and whereupon was their faith founded?
A47152and how great is the danger they are in?
A47152does he not rule in them, and if he rule in them by his outstretched arm in them, does he not rule immediately?
A47152her Commandments is a Lamp, and her Law a Light: VVould he have peace, and preservation, and pleasure?
A47152how hid is it from you, who talk so much of Christ the only Mediator?
A47152is Revelation or the Spirit of Prophecy ceased for all this?
A47152or rather was it not a loss unto them, did it not blind their hearts, was not the preaching of the Gospel foolishness unto them?
A47152she feedeth him with the bread of Life, which is heavenly Vertue and Power, the ● … ood of Angels: Doth he thirst?
A47152she giveth him of the Wine new in the Fathers Kingdom, even that which groweth in the Paradise of God: Would he have a rule to walk by?
A47152she giveth it him: Is he hungry?
A47152were it not his arm and finger that touched them, and lay heavy upon them?
A4716728. in his discourse of Witchcraft: How may the People of New- England relish this?
A47167And if I by Belzebub cast out Devils, by whom do your Children cast them out?
A47167And if Sathan cast out Sathan, he is divided against himself, how shall then his Kingdom stand?
A47167And if he say, It was because the Devil had left her, how soon she came there, Why may not the same be alledged on behalf of the Quakers Meetings?
A47167And who saith all Light is God?
A47167And why are ye not as zealous for washing one anothers feet, and anointing the sick with Oyl?
A47167But is a bare Report or Hear- say sufficient to discredit a Passage that is known to so many living Witnesses in that Town?
A47167But what saith the People of New- England now to Cotton Mather, who doth so accuse them?
A47167But what then?
A47167But why should the colour of black be judged by Cotton Mather so much to resemble the Devil?
A47167Can there be any inward power of Godliness, without Christ living, dwelling and ruling in the heart?
A47167Doth it therefore follow, that Diabolical Possession in this Damsel did incline her to be of Pauls Religion?
A47167Doth not both thy Fathers weakness and thine also manifestly appear in this Charge?
A47167Hast thou no other way to defend thy Idol of Water- baptism, but to smite against the Lord Jesus Christ, in his inward appearance in his Saints?
A47167Hath not God many ways to reveal himself to the ouls of men, and the depth of his Counsel, that passeth our search and understanding?
A47167Have there not been mad People, and whimsical both of the Presbyterian and Independent Churches?
A47167Here thy scoffing airy Spirit appeareth, as oft else- where; how can the world be blessed with a Volumn of Heresies and Blasphemies?
A47167I Answer; Then why dost thou not produce this twefth Article, and demonstrate it so to be, as thou affirmest?
A47167I am sure more expresly commanded by Christ, and Iames the Apostle, than your Water baptism?
A47167If I grant thee that both Iohn''s preaching and baptism, in a true sence, is a beginning of the Gospel, what gainest thou by it?
A47167If this be a Light flowing from God, and a Ministration of God, how can it fail in any respect, and be insufficient?
A47167Is not this worse than that call''d Abbington Law, where it is said, Men were first hanged and afterwards tryed?
A47167Now, what sayst thou, Cotton Mather, to this?
A47167To this I answered; What can all this say to discredit the Quakers Religion and Principle?
A47167To this thou answerest, not denying, but that a Possession of evil Spirits may befall one of your Communion: What then?
A47167and as it is in Iob, When the Sons of God came together, Sathan also came among them?
A47167doth it therefore follow that Water- baptism is a pure Gospel Precept, and to be observed to the end of the world?
A47167doth it therefore follow that they are owned by that People, or are of their Society?
A47167let them see to it, and if they be not guilty of his Charge, whether is he not severely to be reprehended?
A47167must they also by Cotton Mathers Authority be like unto the Devil?
A47133And if imperfect( saith he) How can they be the Rule of Faith, since the Rule of Faith must be perfect?
A47133And if the Copies can not, how can the Translations( saith he) be the Rule?
A47133And this Knowledge, doth it not presuppose some doctrinal Principles, of which Men must be first convinced?
A47133And what means he by the word believe?
A47133And will he say, the new Creature has the same Stature in all Christians?
A47133But again, How can the new Creature be the General Rule, seeing all Men have it not who have the Scriptures?
A47133But are they necessary to be believed, since they are supernumerary, and superadded to the Dictates of the Light in every Conscience?
A47133But how?
A47133But if his said Position has no self- evidence of the Truth of it, how shall it be proved?
A47133But is the Measure of Attainment the same in all Christians, and in all Ages?
A47133But then why should the Secondary Rule tell them any of these things?
A47133But what if the Spirit make not this Conviction upon the Conscience of some, who have the Scripture, which he calls the History?
A47133But what then, will it follow, that Christians have no other Rule, but that of moral Justice?
A47133But why are not these things, concerning Christ''s Birth, Death, revealed to the Quakers by W. P''s confession?
A47133Do not the like Objections as much, and rather much more, lye against the Light within all Men, being the Rule of Faith and Life?
A47133Doth this argue any imperfection in the Commands of God?
A47133Had not Mankind generally the Light within them, under Moses?
A47133He hath shewed thee, O Man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and love Mercy, and walk humbly with thy God?
A47133He that believeth not shall be Damned; believeth not what?
A47133How can that be, since the Question most times arises about the meaning of Scripture?
A47133How comes it then, that it was not the Rule to them, and did not dismiss the written Law?
A47133How knows he that?
A47133How then are they the perfect Rule?
A47133I answer, How not needed?
A47133Is he so great a Master of Method, so as that he can prove, they write not in the Method of a Rule?
A47133Is he sure the Spirit will make it, or doth make it, on every Conscience to whom the History reacheth?
A47133Is his Faith as great, as the Doctrine given us in the Holy Scripture requires it to be?
A47133Is his Love as perfect perfect and compleat?
A47133Is it not plain Antinomianism, yea plain Ranterism?
A47133Is the common discovery by the Light within given to all Mankind, a perfect discovery of all things necessary, given to all at once?
A47133Is the whole Christian Catholick Church of Christ throughout the World, in all Ages, no considerable part of Mankind, having Religious Perswasions?
A47133Or will or can he say, That the new Creature is so perfect in him, that nothing is to be added to it?
A47133Quis legem det amantibus?
A47133Reader: What think''st thou of this sort of Language, in derogation from the Holy Scriptures?
A47133Therefore again I ask, Superadded to what?
A47133Was Adam regenerated, before God gave him the Promise of the Womans Seed, after his Fall?
A47133What seemed more occasional than Joseph''s being sold into Egypt?
A47133Whither to believe, that Christ died for our Sins, and rose again?
A47133Why do they not turn to the Light within to be forthwith without all Prayer, or waiting, informed and satisfied?
A47133Why not in their Translations, by the help of the Spirit, as above declared?
A47133Will the Lord be pleased with Thousands of Rams, or with ten Thousands of Rivers of Oyl?
A47133and his Brethren of this Doctrine?
A47133convince them of their Error?
A47133from the Light within?
A47133prove, that Poligamy is against the Light within?
A47133shall I give my first born for my transgression, the Fruit of my Body for the Sin of my Soul?
A47133taken so great pains to prove it?
A47133teacheth them nothing of any such Lord that bought them, with any Blood outwardly shed for them?
A47186Again; I ask thee, Is Omni- presence Essential unto God, or only an Accident?
A47186And also, his God, whom he limiteth Essentially within the Dimensions of an ordinary Human Body, be not also False?
A47186And be it so, that Omnipresency and Omnipercipiency, being communicated unto Christ, that he is God; In what is this contrary to Christian Doctrine?
A47186And doth it not cause him to Excel all other Beings, that have no such Union?
A47186And how could so many have been said to have pierced Christ, if he was not in them?
A47186And how is Christ the second Adam, the quickning spirit, if he be not present to quicken those whom he doth quicken?
A47186And how was the Riches of the Glory of the Mistery, which is, Christ, among the Gentiles, but in them?
A47186And if they are for the pre- existence of the Soul of Christ''s Man- hood, why not for the pre- existence of the souls of all other men?
A47186And, Whether that described by the Author of this Pamphlet, here Answered by me, is not indeed a False Christ?
A47186Art thou come to Torment us before the time?
A47186But again, is not man like unto the Beasts in some things, as also unto the Herbs, Plants and Trees of the field?
A47186But how little hast thou considered, how if thou stand unto the words of Grotius, thou hast given a stone to break thy own Head?
A47186But they understand the Holy Ghost, who is God, is not separated from this Body& Soul of Christ: but why then did they not express themselves so?
A47186But what saith this against any thing that I have affirmed in my Book?
A47186Can Flesh and Blood, and an Human Soul, be said to Ray and Beam from God, who is a Free and Simple Spirit?
A47186Do not all true Christians believe that he is both God and Man, and yet but one Christ?
A47186For how oft is all mankind comprehending both Soul and Body, called Flesh in Scripture, and yet the Soul is not the Mortal Body?
A47186How can Mediatorship be without a Mediator?
A47186How doth the Christian savour this?
A47186I Query whether this Soul of Christ can be the Holy Ghost?
A47186I answer, first, how couldest thou know our understanding, or mind, if the thing had not been expressed?
A47186I ask, why is not this Man Christ, in all the fallen Angels, as well as fallen men?
A47186Is it not Rampant Blasphemy?
A47186Is not Christ God?
A47186Is not this Union of his with the Godhead, most Excellent?
A47186Is not this a strange new Deity of thy own devising, and a most abominable Idol?
A47186Is the Sap and Moisture, a meer accident, having no substance?
A47186Is this too mean and low a Terme, whereby to call them?
A47186Moreover, when Paul said, the Fathers of old, drank of the Rock, and that Rock was Christ, was this only a Prophecy of Christ?
A47186Or, What doth it infer against the Real Being and Existence of Christ, in all Ages, from the Beginning?
A47186Pamphlet, I query what difference, betwixt the Nishmah of his Soul, and the Center of it?
A47186See, if Keith hath not made the Angels Idolaters?
A47186What if wicked men at times, confesse unto Christ, as the Devils formerly did?
A47186What spirit was that which Christ committed to his Father, when he gave up the Ghost on the Cross?
A47186and did they not eat the Grapes of this Heavenly Vine- Tree, and drink the Liquor or Juice, or Wine thereof?
A47186and is not the Soul of Man, substantially, in all the bodily Members?
A47186for how can that which is absent from us, altogether quicken us, or give us life?
A47186who, but one so blind and grosly ignorant, as the Author of this Pamphlet, can so affirm?
A67845& c. In Ephesus most of them were Pagans; was he the Bishop of these too?
A67845( Devil)?
A678452 Sigh, or shed one Tear for deluding Thousrnds of Souls to Quakerism, Deism, as you now call it?
A67845And now Mr. Deacon, let me know your Office, and how you come by it?
A67845Are not such good Sons of the Church of England, which in her Homilies and Liturgy, charges the Church of Rome with Idolatry?
A67845Are you not changed in Principles?
A67845Are you to be made a Biship?
A67845But what a Noise is hear?
A67845Can you charge any of us, against whom you most set your sellf at that time, with not walking in the Commandments and Ordinances of God?
A67845Could Mr. Lashly and other Episcoparians comply?
A67845Did he?
A67845Did you ever read Acts 20.28 ▪ That you talk of Ephesus having a Diocesan?
A67845Have you left the Word of God to serve Tables?
A67845Have you not been already Consecrated in a Dream?
A67845Hearty in the Confession of sin to this Day?
A67845How came you so soon chang''d?
A67845How come you to have so many good Words for the Papist in the Sermon I heard?
A67845How odious was it to tell the World, what Encouragement you had to come among Dissenters?
A67845I pray how many thousands or Hundreds by the Year had my Lord Bishop?
A67845I think it was the worst Days mork that ever he did ▪ Do not such Ignorant Cattle abound every where?
A67845If Cross kneeling, or other Ceremonies were lawful, but not necessary, as you all say ▪ How dare you impose them on us that think them sinful?
A67845If a Book of Sports, or any other wicked Paper were to be read, would you not seek for a Distinction, to bribe Conscience?
A67845If the Surplice makes you look like Saints above, what do the Black Gowns under make you like?
A67845If we be in danger of going, to Hell for Schismaticks, will he not have so much pity on our Souls, to speak one word to save us from endless Misery?
A67845If you say, No, why not as well as to those you conform too?
A67845If you say, Yes; what end is there of these Fooleris, or vain additions to the Divine Law?
A67845If you say, as I hear you do; a Surplice is no more than a Gown; what Man should you go to your Table( or a Place nor so sweet) with it?
A67845Is it proper to Invite any Men into a dangerous Pest- House, by telling them they may live there?
A67845Is it proper to tell us what Refreshment you find at Common- Prayer?
A67845Is this to stand fast in the Liberty wherewith Christ hath set us free?
A67845Is this to stir up the Gift of God in thee?
A67845L me ask you at parting, some plain Questions?
A67845May a Man be in a House with them that Dye with the Itch, Small Pox, or Plague it self, and yet live?
A67845May a Man live and go up and down London streets Winter and Summer, naked, above the Wast?
A67845May a man live on Barly- Bread and Water?
A67845Or know you no better an Evangelist, but to make him a Prelate?
A67845Or to say over the Graves of the greatest Atheist, Heretick, or Debauch?
A67845Or would you conform to these, if the Law require them?
A67845Some ask us, may a Man be saved in the Church of England?
A67845Then Independency was the best Government; but for Presbytery, I confess you never had a good Word then; and why?
A67845They were said to be saved by the washing of Regeneration; how?
A67845To have consider''d the difference between the Jewish Church and Christian?
A67845VVere you a Catechist, as you say, what Catechism taught you then, or who were the Children, or younger sort so taught?
A67845Was it not a lovely sight to hear you declaring against Schism, who soon lept from Turners Hall, after the Sacrament receiv''d, to a publick Church?
A67845Was it proper so much to value your self for your Catholick Charity, and yet be so severe on a sudden on the best Reformed Churches?
A67845Was it proper to tell us of your Conversion and Change of Heart before a Quaker, and when so?
A67845Was it thought any thing good enough for you?
A67845What get you by such Stories as these you talk of?
A67845What if Anabapristry had gotten the Ascendant; were in its Zenith, were it unlawfull to withdraw, or separate, if it had the stamp of Authority?
A67845What say you to this Bapts?
A67845What then?
A67845What will you do on the 30th of January,& c. In your Shop of false Hearts and Faces too?
A67845Who made Man?
A67845Who made Woman?
A67845Why have you not Crowns on your Heads and Palms in your Hands too?
A67845Why not Holy- Water, to signifie the Sprinkling of the Blood of Jesus, as well as a Surplice, or Sacrum Pallium, to signifie Purity?
A67845Why, good Mr. Keith, were Zachary and Elizabeth commended for walking in all the Commandments and Ordinances of Men?
A67845With out a Complement, I know I yet Love you, and value you for those acomplishments God hath blest you with?
A67845Yes, What need then of good Meat and good Drink?
A67845Yes, what need then leaving that House?
A67845Yes, what need then of Nonconformity?
A67845now if you leave them in one thing, why not I in another?
A67845what London Noncon Ministers ever visited you, my self excepted?
A67845what becomes of your Plea, about the Jewish Church, if not?
A67845when one objected their not having Episcopal Ordination, how sharply he was reproved by a Prelate and others for his Objection?
A67845which to my certain knowledge, was a mistake?
A47146Again, Will they not grant that the Spirit helpeth us to conceive Words, at least in Meditation?
A47146And further, The words of these set Forms of Prayer, whence came they?
A47146And how is it multiplied and encreased in Mens Hearts?
A47146And if it be not lawful to pray for Riches, or great plenty of Worldly and Temporal Things?
A47146And indeed a word spoken in season, whether it be in Preaching or Praying how sweet and comfortable it is?
A47146And therefore should not these be helped by hearing or reading set Forms of Prayer, well and Piously composed?
A47146Are they only Spiritual things, and such as belong to the Soul?
A47146But do they not differ originally, as to their very Nature and Being?
A47146But if God and Christ minister Light and Life Immediately unto men, are not all means useless and unnecessary?
A47146But may these drawings and movings be commonly resisted?
A47146But why should the one be killed or choaked more than the other?
A47146By whom doth this Grace or Gift come upon all Men?
A47146Doth not the Spirit operate upon the Understanding, as well and as nearly, and immediately and closely, as upon the Will and Affections?
A47146For what end is it given unto all?
A47146For what man will accept of a Bastard as if it were his own Child?
A47146Give us one Example in another case?
A47146Had the Spirit no influence upon the Understandings of those Men, who conceived them to help and assist them in those Conceptions?
A47146Have not I the Lord?
A47146How Immediately?
A47146How Mediately?
A47146How and after what manner is Prayer to be distinguished?
A47146How can they do that?
A47146How can they do that?
A47146How do they know but some have it?
A47146How do we distinguish it from Reason?
A47146How doth Iesus Christ minister Light and Life unto the Souls of Men?
A47146How doth it get root?
A47146How is Christ Iesus come unto all?
A47146How is Christ and his Grace to be distinguished?
A47146How is he the Resurrection?
A47146How is the Grace or Gift of God conveyed unto Men at first, and how is it received?
A47146How is this Repentance wrought?
A47146How may this other thing be called which is in us, a distinct principle from our Reason as Men?
A47146How so?
A47146If one be in Sickness and Liberty, if one be in in Prison?
A47146Is Iesus Christ himself given unto all Men, or only His Grace?
A47146Is he come outwardly as a man unto all?
A47146Is that Immediately, or Mediately, or both?
A47146Is that our own Natural Reason as men?
A47146Is then the object of Faith God and Christ, as inwardly revealed?
A47146Is this Light and Word God himself?
A47146Is this Principle given unto all men?
A47146May Vocal Prayer in words that are audible to others at some distance, be used in private, when a man is alone by himself?
A47146OF whom have we our Being, our Living, and Moving, and all the good things we enjoy?
A47146Or will they confine us to see Forms of Meditation, as well as of vocal Prayer?
A47146Q But are the Immediate Teachings of God and Christ of absolute necessity unto every man, to give him the True and Saving Knowledge of God?
A47146Q How know we that?
A47146The Lord said unto him, Who hath made man''s Mouth?
A47146They say it ceased with the ceasing of the gift of Tongues and Miracles; but what ground have they for this?
A47146WHat is Prayer?
A47146What Faith then have they, who say, Inward and Immediate Revelation is not the common priviledge of Men, nay, not of the Saints in these daies?
A47146What Rule( or Law) hath God given unto Men, to Serve, Obey, and Worship him?
A47146What are the first beginnings of Gods Work in the Heart after convincement, or enlightening the Understanding?
A47146What are the first things he teacheth in and by this Principle?
A47146What are the things which we are to Pray for as to our selves?
A47146What are these things which we should desire and ask of God by Prayer?
A47146What is Faith?
A47146What is Repentance?
A47146What is next required of them?
A47146What is the first thing required of Men, that they may learn of God and Christ Iesus, so as to become wise through those immediate Teachings?
A47146What is the universal Influence?
A47146What other Names hath it according to Scripture?
A47146What other difference is there betwixt our natural Reason, and this Principle?
A47146What other difference is there betwixt them?
A47146or are they Temporal things also; such as Riches, or encrease of Corn, Wine and Oyl, or Health?
A47146or who maketh the Dumb, or Deaf, or the Seeing, or the Blind?
A47197And indeed how can any impure thing proceed from the Spirit of God, that is altogether a most pure and holy Spirit?
A47197And is it not promised in the New Convenant, they shall not hunger and thirst,& c.?
A47197And is it not said in the Song, Eat, O friends, drink abundantly, O beloved?
A47197And what wonder then that the opposers of Truth in this day speake so of Truth, as it is now manifested?
A47197And, becaus we beare our Testimony to this appearance of Christ in us, shall we be therefore thus malitiously traduced by such prejudicated men?
A47197But I ask this Author of the Postscript, Can any divine prediction contradict an article of Faith?
A47197But doth this agree with his former expression of being half- hungered of Christ here in this life?
A47197But the National Presbyterian Church being onely letter and skin, having neither flesh nor bones, not sinews, how can it be a true Church of Christ?
A47197But this is another quible, like unto the former; for I ask him, What doth he mean by the word[ Person] whether the God- head, or both united?
A47197But was the Presbyterian National Church any more favourable to their lawfull Prince?
A47197But what if the Author of the Postscript knew no ● so great an Ambassadour left behind upon Earth?
A47197But what means the matter?
A47197But who amongst the Protestants will say that this was a sufficient ground to remain still in Popery?
A47197Cur praefers tuam meditationem aut studium Spiritui Dei?
A47197Did they not also extend their power to the utmost against him, to compell him?
A47197Do they say, that immediat calls are not needfull to Preachers?
A47197For are not his joy and comforts, his gifts, or graces and operations?
A47197For 〈 ◊ 〉 they say, that true Grace or ptety is not essential to 〈 ◊ 〉 Minister of Christ?
A47197How then could the Lord relish and accept them?
A47197Is not this to embolden people in all manner of sin, to tell them that hellfulls of sins can not separate them from Christ?
A47197Now I ask him how doth he know this, what is his rule in this case?
A47197Now I besech them to consider what did this silence of R. B. mean, or what was his intent in being si ● ent so long?
A47197Now in that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended into the lowest parts of the Earth?
A47197O what is nearness to him?
A47197O( saith he) where are the some times quickening breathings and influences from heaven, that have refreshed his hidden ones?
A47197Or at least to 〈 ◊ 〉 the Spirit and power of the Lord to assist him in what perhaps was in his heart to speak?
A47197Otherwise why dost thou not give up thy self to the Holy Spirit?
A47197Quid pseudo- propheta or as Dominium, ut Spiritum det, quo loquaris utilia,& interim Spiritum repellis?
A47197Surely this is a Great and Mighty Man, so that we may justly say, as these did of old, what manner of Man is this, whom the ● ● inds and sea obey?
A47197This is contrary to the promises of the Lord, and experience of the Saints: Did not David say, My cup overfloweth?
A47197What if ye shall see the Son of Man ascend up where he was before?
A47197Whereas Jesus understood it of his heavenly flesh and blood: therefore he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
A47197Why they think Lawfull to sing by a book, and yet think it unlavfull to pray by a book?
A47197Will not a Father take his little dated Davie in his armes, and carry him over a ditch or a mire?
A47197alioqui cur ipsi Spiritui non te committis?
A47197and how can we doe this, without all sense or feeling of him in a spirituall way?
A47197and some from the Episcopall way have immediatly become Quakers?
A47197and some, who were once of the Episcopall way left it, and became Presbyterians, and afterward Quakers?
A47197from his own spirit, or from the Spirit of God?
A47197how can it have life and spirit?
A47197was it not he waited to receive, ● hat he was to speak from the Lord?
A47197● to what a classe can such a piece of Atheisme be reduced, as appears( saith he) in our nearest approaches unto God?
A471218. and some others, If I mistake not, saith he,( Is this like Infallible George Whitehead?)
A47121And as to their Question, which they think in their Ignorance is unanswerable,''Whether any Prayer is heard by God, but what is put by his Spirit?
A47121And did not what our Saviour eat, turn into his real flesh, and become incorruptible, seeing his flesh saw no corruption?
A47121And hath not a Tree in it two parts, the one Wood, the other Bark?
A47121And if any think, he meant it of any part of this visible Earth; What that part was?
A47121And if his Head was not naked how could his Body be naked?
A47121And is not the one more Noble than the other?
A47121And seeing they judge me changed greatly in my Principles of late Years, why may they not judge me also changed in that?
A47121And then he querieth, If that which riseth be the corruptible, p. 31. how is it, that that which riseth is incorruptible and corrupteth not again?
A47121And what change is that?
A47121And what is kept secret, but implicit?
A47121And whereas he querieth, How know we that they have a Sense contrary to Scripture- words?
A47121And why?
A47121But doth not the Scripture say, God''s Mercies are over all his Works?
A47121But how did I tell them, that Men after the Resurrection shall have them?
A47121But how hath he proved, that G. K. is a man of a Wrong Spirit?
A47121But to confute their Ignorance, let any Man of common Sense answer me; Is there no Medium between knowing very Darkly, and not knowing at all?
A47121But what Proof brings he for this?
A47121But what do my Adversaries bring against me on this Head, to prove my Self- contradiction?
A47121But what proof brings he for his Affirmation?
A47121But where is my Contradiction here?
A47121But who did ever call the Ink and Paper the Gospel?
A47121But why will they not allow it as well, with respect to the knowledge of Christ without us, as of Christ within us?
A47121Did not the Sadduces altogether deny the Resurrection?
A47121Doth he not know that Corn hat ● two parts in it, the one Husk, the other Meal?
A47121Doth not the Scripture plainly distinguish betwixt the finishing Transgression, and bringing in everlasting Righteousness?
A47121His second Question is, Would not the Apostle have answered more to the matter?
A47121How say some among you, there is no Resurrection of the Dead?
A47121Is Holyness nothing but a Negation of unholiness?
A47121Is a Mass, wherein there is a mixture of Gold and Dross, a Body a top of a Body?
A47121Is not Sin a Nakedness, metaphorically taken?
A47121Is the Particle or little Word[ very] Superlative in the highest Degree?
A47121Is the ardent Love of God in the Saints nothing, but a meer negative of hatred of God?
A47121Is there no medium betwixt a Mans being very ignorant, and knowing nothing at all?
A47121Is there not in all food one more Noble part that becometh not Excrement, but is transmuted into real flesh, in man?
A47121Is this to do as they would be done by?
A47121Now can there be any thing more contrary to express Scripture, than this Assertion?
A47121Now what is made manifest but expres?
A47121Now what is this mortal?
A47121Or what ground have they to think I am not?
A47121Ought I not to be of David''s Mind, who said, I am a Companion of all them that fear thee?
A47121Pennington''s saying,''Can outward Blood cleanse?
A47121Shall I send him to his Mill, or own Trade of grinding, or sawing Timber, for further instruction?
A47121Sure I am Just in Martyr held it, for I have read it in him; Doth it therefore follow that he was a Revolutionist?
A47121They say, Did he cloath them with the Righteousness of the Lamb, and yet at the same time debar them access to the Tree of Life?
A47121This is a thing usually known, that some, to save their Gold from Robbers, have swallowed it down; but did they eat it?
A47121Was it bodily Nakedness that he wanted some outward Garment to cover it?
A47121Well, if I can demonstrate that this actually was done, will that satisfy him?
A47121What One Evil Thing hath he proved against me in all his book, either in Doctrine or Conversation?
A47121Where doth the Scripture say, That Jesus of Nazareth is nothing else than the Light, Power and Spirit within?
A47121Where doth the Scripture say, That the Light within is sufficient to salvation, without any thing else?
A47121Will they say that Men may be saved without all knowledge of Christ within, either express or implicit?
A47121and doth not the Clemency and Mercy of God extend to them that are not yet in Christ?
A47121i. e. not quo corpore, sed quali corpore; not with what, but with what quality of body do they come?
A47121or is it not rather Comparative?
A47121or that it is an Error to say, The Light within is not sufficient to salvation, without something else?
A47121or who did ever think that the Serpent, which is the Devil, doth eat Ink and Paper?
A47121or, rather, doth it not belong to the Excrement, with other gross parts of the food?
A3089913 who was as uncapable to discerne hereticks as hypocrits?
A3089914. saith of himself, but I am carnall, sold under sin but who will say that the Apostle as to his own present condition was then carnall?
A308994: 3, 4 if our gospell& c: that is, say they, the outward gospell, but doth Paul say so?
A308995: 10, 11. if they still resisted?
A30899Again, wheras they query, May a person be wel disposed who hath not such revelations?
A30899Again, whereas they querie in a scoffing way, can a thing that is self evident be hidd from the whole world except a few Illuminado''s?
A30899And whereas they add, who will say, that ever sin was institutedly God?
A30899Another question they make, where is water baptism buried?
A30899As to their question, wherein consists the nature and essence of faith?
A30899Besides, how do they prove that this laying on of hands is ordination, and not that used in confirmation?
A30899But do not they say, that when men pray, without a new heart, they do in part answer the obligation?
A30899But how do they prove it?
A30899But how prove they it?
A30899But what then?
A30899Christ, as Protestants well argue against Papists, calls himself a door, a Rock,& c. what then?
A30899Here they miserably stick, only they alledge it is ceased among many, and is not so necessary, but how prove they, that it is not as necessary?
A30899How can outward blood cleanse?
A30899However dare they say, but that the outward immediat testimony of Christ was to be believed?
A30899If all this were confessed, would it follow that he were to punish Religious, as Civil offences by a Civil censure?
A30899In many things we offend all, what then?
A30899Is not this the way to argue against Christ, and to charge contradictions upon him, not upon us?
A30899Is not this to make God the author of sin?
A30899Is this Quakerism canvassed, to pick and chase at some, and passe by others?
A30899Lastly, they query, if the manifestation be a substance, whether is it one manifestation, or all the manifestations?
A30899Nor can we know it, say they, by revelation, but how prove they it?
A30899Now have not all good Christians, these three evidences for them?
A30899Now what signifieth all this to prove that the outward bread is the one bread?
A30899What blind reasons are these, which those poore blind men bring forth against the truth?
A30899What means the word never then?
A30899Who but such as are as childish as the Students, will affirme, there is here any difference?
A30899Who but the Students would run themselves into such miserable condictions?
A30899Who doth not see, that poor men they are taken in their own snare?
A30899],[ London?]
A30899and did not Christ say, that the spirit should convince the world of sin?
A30899and do not they encourage them to pray, even the most wicked?
A30899is Christ and a Rock one, Christ and a door one door?
A30899is it not strange with what confidence they should print such stuff?
A30899or if he was, was there no spirituall men then?
A30899what is that to the purpose, unlesse to make the retortion the stronger, and show they can not get by it?
A30899what then?
A30899will they say that abstaining from things strangled,& from blood was nailed to the crosse which was commanded long after Christ was crucified?
A30899yea how many of those called Heathens, who had not any outward law, have declared that inward concupiscence was a sin?
A47164Am I a God at Hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off?
A47164And as Rebecca, when the Twins strugled in her Womb, enquired at the Lord, and said, Why am I thus?
A47164And can these sweet and heavenly Experiences be witnessed without divine Revelation, or Inspiration?
A47164And do not all true Believers eat the same spiritual Bread, and drink the same spiritual Drink, the Rock that followed Israel of old?
A47164And if the Saints do no wise partake of the Substance of the Godhead of Christ, I ask them, what do they partake of him?
A47164And if ye have the same Commission, are not ye also Apostles?
A47164And is not this Antimonian like, who say, God seeth no Sin in them, though they Lye, Swear falsly, drink, drunk, steal, whore,& c.?
A47164And is not this incomparably more than the best Profession of true Religion?
A47164And must not this Foundation be seen, and felt by every Member?
A47164And now tell me, wherein we are behind you?
A47164And what is the use and end of your Government but to keep poor People in Bondage under you, and your false Doctrin?
A47164And where did God say thus to him, but in his Heart?
A47164And whether he that only heareth them from man, and hath not received the true sense of them, hath properly heard the VVord of God?
A47164And why did John baptize Christ by dipping into Water, and others that he baptized, if sprinkling on the Fore- head was sufficient in that day?
A47164And why, ye estimate your Church more holy than the Church of Rome?
A47164But is Christ divided?
A47164But is not your Church and Doctrin in this respect much more unholy?
A47164But on the contrary, hath not ours the advantage every way?
A47164But seeing ye are so unwilling that any called a Quaker, should come into your Houses, why should ye receive their Goods?
A47164But still the question is, Whence had the Church her Power, either immediately or mediately?
A47164But the true state of the Question is, Wheth ● r first, the Scripture doth contain all the Word or Words of God?
A47164But to what evil Construction will not Malice and Hypocrisie, and Covetousness bend a thing?
A47164But when said he so unto you?
A47164But who are the Children of the Flesh, and who are the Children of the Promise?
A47164But why do ye not mind the other part of the Commission, and apply that unto you?
A47164Can the Walls of the House be built on a Foundation that is altogether remote from it?
A47164Do not I fill Heaven and Earth?
A47164Do not those profess the true Religion as well as these called Independents?
A47164Do they not grant, that all the Prayers recorded in Scripture, did proceed from divine Inspiration and Revelation?
A47164Do they partake only of the Substance of his Manhood without the Godhead, or of neither?
A47164Doth it therefore follow it is upon yours?
A47164Even when they are not able to demonstrate unto the Living, what is then revealed unto them?
A47164For by what means can they be convinced thereof?
A47164For if the Body be over- charged with labour, it is a hurt and clog unto the Mind in divers respects?
A47164For to be taught of God, to hear and learn of the Father, as the Prophets and Apostles did, what is it, but to be taught by divine inward Revelation?
A47164For what if they had not the perfect Knowledge and Faith of Christ crucified, when they lived?
A47164For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the Spirit of a man which is in him?
A47164Have there not been mad People, and whimsical, both of the Presbyterian and Independent Churches?
A47164How are ye not ashamed to apply these words to all God''s true Saints?
A47164How can Man be justified with God, or how can he be clean, that is born of a Woman?
A47164Is it not admirable blindness that these men did not see how impertinent these Citations are?
A47164Is it not very manifest, they are generally nothing better than when they were called Heathens, but are for most part rather worse?
A47164Is this your pretence to Reformation?
A47164It may be very well granted, that he dyed not for the World which he doth not pray for: But what World is that?
A47164Must not the House and the Foundation be immediately joyned together?
A47164Now, whence is it that the World both hateth Christ, and his Church?
A47164Or should the Crime of the incestuous Person at Corinth, because of him, be cast upon all other Christians?
A47164Or what difference is there betwixt the Saints, and no Saints, betwixt the godly and the wicked, good men and evil men?
A47164Or when gave he you such Commission?
A47164Received ye the Spirit by the Works of the Law, or by the hearing of Faith?
A47164The Government is upon his Shoulders; to wit, Christ Jesus?
A47164Thirdly, VVhether he who only talketh Scripture words, and hath not the true sense of them, doth truly and properly speak the VVord of God?
A47164Was not the Government in the Apostles days altogether derived from the Power and Spirit of Christ in them?
A47164What shall we say then?
A47164What then do they partake of him, if nothing Substantially?
A47164Where now shall these Men find any place in Scripture to prove, that there are any reprobate Infants?
A47164Whether true beginnings of Sanctification can be fallen from totally?
A47164Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?
A47164Why?
A47164Why?
A47164Will nothing serve your turn but the same Commission, which Christ gave the Apostles?
A47164Would not this greatly discourage them?
A47164as who would say, the Snow is perfectly white in one sense, and yet black in another sense, or the Fire is hot in one sense, but cold in another?
A47164for your Government, and Governors and Elders of your Churches?
A47164or what excellency, worth, or value hath your Supper above, and beyond ours?
A47164or wherein we fall short of you?
A47164to what have ye converted them?
A47164what doth hinder, but they are as real and lawful Members of the Church as any others?
A47164which Rock was Christ?
A47124( Where doth the Scripture say, he is Outwardly and Bodily Glorified at God''s right Hand?
A4712414.6, 7. mention any thing of the Doctrin of Salvation, by the promised Messiah?
A4712428. say, Baptize into the Name; and is not that more than in the Name?
A47124Again, In p. 23. of that above mentioned Book, they answer a Question thus?
A47124Also by the word separating, and withdrawing, so as to have no Fellowship with them?
A47124And for a Proof he Querieth; Can a Man Retract and Renounce a Passage upon Supposition, and not know what the Passage is?
A47124And how Non- sensical is he to Argue; that as it is barely Historical, the Ungodly have that Belief?
A47124And what say''st thou to this?
A47124And whether Baptism be not a Doctrin, yea, or nay?
A47124And why so much strife and contention about G. Fox''s Papers of Church Orders, and Womens Dresses?
A47124Are not his Brethren come to higher Attainments than these outward things?
A47124As that one Text, that God is a Spirit is it not sufficient to prove the truth of it?
A47124But doth it therefore follow, that the Sin and Guilt is the same in both Cases?
A47124But how doth he prove that they used not this Form?
A47124But how is the end of that Sacrament, or Sign any wise Answered among the Quakers, who have Abolished both Signs?
A47124But how will he Reconcile this to W. Penn; who doth acknowledge that the Scriptures are a Means to know God, Christ and our selves?
A47124But is not that also a Doctrin?
A47124But many People speak after this manner; Have we not had the Gospel all this time till now?
A47124But what Proof gives he of this, that this was, or might be a Permission?
A47124But why may not their Ecclesiastick Discipline be reckoned as much belonging to the outer Court, as Water- Baptisme and the Supper?
A47124But, why may they not have a Power mediately from Christ, after some true manner, and yet in some sort immediate also?
A47124Did G. K.( saith he) in his diligent search overlook this?
A47124Do these words express the Glory he had with the Father before the World began, in which he is now Glorified?)
A47124Doth it therefore follow, that it was no Institution of Christ to the Apostles, and their Successors to Preach the Gospel?
A47124Doth not this strengthen the Papists in their false Faith; that Christ is daily offered in the Mass, an unbloody Sacrifice?
A47124Doth this prove that Christ without us is no Object of our Faith?
A47124First, he saith, the Apostle might well understand it of his inward coming and appearance; but what Proof doth he give of this?
A47124Have not many good Men done it?
A47124He meaneth only Spirit and Life; acknowledging, that it was at most an Oversight in me; but how doth this prove me a Changling in an Article of Faith?
A47124Here thou wouldst make two Christ''s, a Christ whose Person is above the Clouds, and a Christ within, but how provest thou two such Christs?
A47124Hoc est opus Dei, ut quid paras dentem& ventrem?
A47124How Ignorantly and Stupidly doth he here Argue?
A47124How can Man use the Candle, unless God light it in his Heart; and doth not God use it in order to bring, or Convert Man to himself?
A47124How can they who follow such blind Guides, but fall into the Ditch with them?
A47124How might the Gospel by this liberty of interpretation be perverted?
A47124How then can the same tongue bless God and curse men?
A47124I Answer, How Foolishly doth he here Argue, and Impertinently?
A47124If some of them had not been Baptized at all, it had been improper for him to ask them were they Baptized in the Name of Paul?
A47124If they do Evil that separate Man and Wife, whom God hath joyned, or put together; do not they worse who kill them both?
A47124Is he as Guilty of Damnation that Eats Swines Flesh Doubting 〈 ◊ 〉 that Eats and Drinks Unworthily at the Lord''s Table?
A47124Is not Christ God, and is not God a Spirit?
A47124Is not that rather the State that is reserved to the future Life?
A47124Is not this to make the Sacrifice of Christ of less Value and Efficacie in his own Body, than his Sacrifice in W. Penn''s Body?
A47124Is there any greater, or so great Blindness to be found in the Blindest, and most Ignorant of the Papists?
A47124Lo I am with you always, to the end of the World( saith he) what for?
A47124Must Meat, Drink and Cloathing be rejected, because that many abuse them?
A47124Must all that Retract from their Errors, be Reputed double Minded Men?
A47124Now how is that Cup the New Testament?
A47124Now, can this be wrought; or doth God Work this Work of Conversion in a lost Soul, without his Lighting a Candle in it?
A47124Otherwise, what can be meant by rejecting, casting out, and purging out, in the Scriptures of the New Testament?
A47124Reader, are not these dreadful Words, enough to make all Christian Ears to tingle?
A47124Reader: Wouldest thou not think by these Words, that W. Penn was in good earnest, Pleading for the Sacrament( as he calls it) or Sign of the Supper?
A47124Secondly, If here he only Argues on Supposition, and ad hominem; how shall we know when he Argueth Positively, and is in good earnest?
A47124Secondly, it is a Means of Grace; the Bread which we break is it not the Communion of the Lord''s Body?
A47124Seeing it is the Nature of all Sacrifices for Sin, that they be Slain, and their Blood Shed; how is Christ Slain in his Children, and when?
A47124Should the abuse of any thing commanded by God, take away the use of it?
A47124The Cup which we bless is it not the Communion of his Blood?
A47124The manner of Speech used here by Paul, is like that of James; doth the same fountain send forth sweet water and bitter?
A47124To be understood of Christ''s being Crucified in Men; else why doth he oppose me with his Queries?
A47124What Country- man is he?
A47124What was the State of the Church in the Apostles days, after they had received plentiful Illuminations of the Holy Ghost?
A47124Where doth the Scripture say, Christ offers himself up in his Children a Sacrifice for Sin?
A47124Why was it Prophecied of Christ; a Body hast thou prepared me, why not Bodies many, if he offer up himself in the Bodies of all the Saints?
A47124Will he meddle with School Terms, and yet understand them no more than a Fool?
A47124Yea, have not the Quakers commended some for Retracting and Condemning some things, which formerly they reckoned to be Divine Openings?
A47124and whether other Drink may not be used as well as Wine?
A47124is meant his Outward coming, as from any other places above cited, or any that can be brought, his Outward coming can be proved?
A47124to enable them to Baptize with Water?
A47124which are a shadow of things to come, but the body is of Christ?
A47124whoever said, that the bare Historical Relation, or Report of Christ Crucified, is the Power of God unto Salvation?
A47124you look for a Christ without you; from what Coast or Country shall he come?
A47124— How many Souls hast thou led into that Pit of Darkness and Blindness, as to believe that Christ is yet to come in Person?
A4719114. was not the Lord displeased with their Singing even under the Law, when the people did degenerate and become perverse?
A47191A. conclude, That Ignorance is the Mother of the Quakers Devotion?
A47191A. hath he no infallibility nor infallible knowledge in any thing?
A47191A. hath spent so much Paper on Water- baptism, why saith he nothing to sprinkling of Infants?
A47191A. hath, with all the help of his Arts?
A47191A. if he hath not learned in the Schools, that the reasonable nature of God is the first rule of Manners?
A47191A. think that the day dawneth, and the day Star ariseth in the hearts of believers?
A47191A. think, that this only is the Letter of the Scripture?
A47191A. why may not the Devil be called sin, or unrighteousness in a certain sense, as Christ is called righteousness frequently in Scripture?
A47191Again, is not sin called in Scripture, The Old Man, or Old Adam, whom we are bidden to put off?
A47191And are they all Taught of the Spirit, who are but only and meerly Taught by the Letter?
A47191And did he not threaten that he would turn the Songs of their Temple into Howlings?
A47191And hath he not read in Boetius that excellent saying?
A47191And if they have none, was it not then left to people according to the Query, at least as to the time?
A47191And is it not too apparent that the far greatest number of your Church Members, know nothing more of Christ''s Death than the History of it?
A47191And is not this somewhat more than the Letter?
A47191And then I Query by what rule, shall these delusions be discovered?
A47191And then what advantage giveth his Philosophy unto him?
A47191And was not the Spirit which the Apostles had, the Infallible Spirit?
A47191And what if these Levites were not in all respects Infallible?
A47191And when began she to drink the Blood of the Saints?
A47191And when was it, that she deceived all Nations?
A47191And when was 〈 ◊ 〉, That the Kings of the Earth hath committed Fornication with her?
A47191And whereas the Inquirer doth ask, what did Christ come to destroy?
A47191And why did Christ promise, that he would send his Spirit to Teach them all things, if the Teaching of his Spirit was a needless thing?
A47191And why doth he expound the Circumcision to be spiritual in that place; and the Baptism outward and visible?
A47191And why was the Law called a killing Letter?
A47191Answer me, How did Adam know the voice of God in his Heart and the Prophets, before the Scriptures were writ, how did they know it?
A47191Are not some of them at least only the words of men?
A47191But he hath not proved that the Baptism, there mentioned, is Water- baptism; where is his consequence for this?
A47191But how weak and frivolous is his ● cason here?
A47191But how weak is this Argument?
A47191But then is there no difference betwixt him and us?
A47191But this is a bareevasion, and no direct Answer to my Assertion?
A47191But this is a strange inconsistency and contradiction?
A47191But toere are other great matters which his Philosophy teacheth; and as he particularly describeth them?
A47191But what then, doth he so tye them, as that they were not to regard God, or Christ, or the Holy Spirit in their Hearts?
A47191But what then, doth it therefore follow, that they were made sinners without their own consent; let him show us this any where in Scripture?
A47191But who is so blind or weak, that doth not see the falsehood of this his Assertion?
A47191But why doth he charge us so highly in this matter?
A47191But why may they not err who have an infallible Dictate within, as they may err who have the Scripture without, that is infallible?
A47191But why not as properly, as a Dictate without?
A47191But why was he not afraid that it would detract from his lustre?
A47191Can they Sing that new Song, which the Redeemed from the Earth Sing?
A47191Could not Paul in the same discourse, speak of something that was truly his present conditions, and of some other thing that was not?
A47191Could not the Prophets and Apostles both hear and receive Christ, whom they had already?
A47191Could the people understand the true Spiritual intent and signification of the Law, without Christ and his Spirit, and inward Teaching?
A47191Do we not read in Scripture, That God hath given the Heathens to his Son for his Inheritance, and the uttermost ends of the Earth for his possession?
A47191Doth he not believe and know infallibly that there is a God, and divers other weighty Truths?
A47191Doth not Spirit and Life, and living vertue come out of his Mouth?
A47191Doth nothing but the Letter come out of his Mouth?
A47191For how are men converted from Natural to Spiritual?
A47191For how doth he prove that we Eat, or Drink, or receive any Creatures of God without Prayer and Thanksgivings?
A47191Had he none in all his Native Country whom he had confidence in to Patronize his undertakings?
A47191Have they been in Gods secret Counsel to know this?
A47191How wild and unreasonable is this consequence?
A47191Is it not more proper to take them both spiritually, and then his Argument doth wholly vanish?
A47191Is it nothing else, but to Hear or Read the Letter of the Scripture?
A47191Is the Teaching of the Spirit, only an outward thing?
A47191It is Queried, Was this coming to the end of the World, or was it his coming to dwell in them?
A47191Or by what consequence doth he prove it?
A47191Or can there be any greater, or more principal rule than this?
A47191Or rather have ye not Learned all this from the Papists?
A47191Quis legem det amantibus?
A47191That he was a Debter both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians, as concerning the Gospel?
A47191The bread which we Break, is it not the Communion of the body of Christ?
A47191This I judge he will not deny?
A47191What Scripture have they for consecrating it, or when did Christ say, Before ye eat it, consecrate it?
A47191What Scripture have they to instruct them how oft they should use it, as once, twice, or four times in every year?
A47191When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand to tread my Courts?
A47191Whether the words without, or the Spirit and Nature of Divine Love within, is the most powerful Law and Rule?
A47191Why are they more requisite in a Minister, than in the rest of the Church?
A47191and whereby did David become wiser than his Teachers, was it by the humane Arts of Grammar and Logick?
A47191or how can he deduce a consequence from that whereof he is ignorant?
A47191or who hath revealed it to them?
A47191was it not the Devil and his works?
A47191was this only a bare circumstance?
A47136( He understandeth a Law writ or contained in words) How much more doth the Rule of Duties extend, than that of Law?
A471364. because he saith, They are all ceased?
A47136And I ask the Author, Was it any prejudice or derogation to the Christian Religion, that Paul, a zealous Preacher of it, was bred among the Pharisees?
A47136And after, What now do I love, when as I love thee?
A47136And did not Cornelius and his Friends receive the Holy Spirit, by means of Peter his Preaching?
A47136And did they not obtain that most excellent gift of the Holy Spirit by means of their prayer?
A47136And how knoweth he, that sometimes in their Meetings, the people, called in scorn, Quakers, do nothing else?
A47136And how unlikely is it, that this one man could sufficiently instruct the whole world?
A47136And what did Christ signifie by that good ground in the Parable, but men of a good and honest heart?
A47136And what if we could show Signs, and perform all the other Conditions he requireth of us, that he may believe us to be truly inspired?
A47136But by what rules judge they of those things, but such as in which they see how every one should live, although they themselves do not so live?
A47136But hath God left her without Pastors and Teachers, and all the Gifts of Christs purchase, when he ascended?
A47136But hath not Christ died for all men?
A47136But is therefore the use and exercise of the Scripture Words, in reading, hearing and meditation of them to be rejected and laid aside?
A47136But put the case, that some of them did not hear any thing taught them outwardly, by mans voice, as in the case of Adam, when he was alone?
A47136Did he or they therefore use no means, to obtain their Revelations?
A47136Did not Christ inspire the Apostles immediately, before his Ascension, by means of his outward Preaching unto them, and laying his hands on them?
A47136Did not the Apostles Minister one to another( after they had received the Holy Spirit) of the word of Life, and did edifie and build up one another?
A47136Did then the Scribes preach with the same Authority that Christ did?
A47136Do they not favour of that sweet and precious Life and Spirit which inspired them?
A47136Do we not read, how Moses besought the Lord, that he might see his glory?
A47136Had not the ancient Christian Church, after the Apostles days all the Books of Scripture of the Old and New Testament as well as we?
A47136Had they not therefore the same Spirit with Moses, because they had the same Faith?
A47136How many Lyes are to be found in printed Books?
A47136How many are quite of other Perswasions, than what they had by Education?
A47136How much doth it condemn the phantasie, and bodily senses?
A47136How narrow Innocency is that( saith he) to be good according to the Law?
A47136In this search, Oh how repugnant is the mind unto all bodys, how much doth it despise their Images, and deceits?
A47136Is he not more near unto us, than all means however so near?
A47136Is not God most inwardly present in all his Creatures, and most near and close unto them?
A47136Is not the Apostolical Church worthily reckoned the Patron of all other Churches?
A47136Is not this a manifest contradiction to his calling the Doctrine of Inspiration and Immediate Revelation, blasphemous?
A47136Now which thoughts may be called rash, or hasty thoughts?
A47136Or did God use no means, when he did communicate unto ▪ them those Revelations and Inspirations?
A47136Or who pleadeth for the absolute necessity of them?
A47136Suppose, saith he, thou knowest the Gospel like the Apostles, by Inspiration, what then?
A47136There remaineth only one difficulty with the Adversary, whether these inward Illuminations are to be called Immediate?
A47136These two Queries I desire the Author plainly, and without all shifting or subterfuge, to answer?
A47136To whom the Spirit answered, Iesus we know, and Paul we know; but who are Ye?
A47136V. WHat doth now remain of Controversie or Debate, betwixt our Adversary and us, in the matter of inward and Immediate Revelation and Inspiration?
A47136VVhether the Church in the Apostles days, when those miraculous Gifts did most abound, was not in a more perfect state, than in the succeeding ages?
A47136Were not Davids Prayers the more excellent, that they were inspired?
A47136What ground of Proof can such a bare citation be, without naming the Author, or giving a sufficient Evidence of his Fidelity?
A47136When do they see them?
A47136Whence then have these, who are now called Pastors and Doctors, their Gifts and Authority?
A47136Whether he can prove from Scripture, That Infant- sprinkling with Water, is the Lawful Baptism, or ever was?
A47136Whether he can prove, that Christ hath commissioned all, or any of those who sprinkle Infants on the Forehead, so to do?
A47136and the like did frequently come to pass to the Primitive Disciples, by means of the Apostles Preaching, and laying on of their hands?
A47136and what was the Reason of this so great a difference?
A47136are the Enthusiasts no Impostors?
A47136from about the beginning of the fifth Century till this time, hath been in the most perfect state?
A47136hath he not called the very principle a blasphemous Doctrine?
A47136is it not said expressly, that Christ preached as one having Authority, and not as the Scribes?
A47136or are Pastors and Teachers these extraordinary helps?
A47136or what Crime or Vice, or thing unworthy of a Christian Name is contained therein?
A47136or why some more than others?
A47136shall he not expound open to them what they read in the Scriptures, with his living voice?
A47136was not a main Reason of it, that the Scribes preached barely from the Letter, without Divine Inspiration?
A47136was not this gift with many others lost by the apostacy of the professors of the Christian Religion?
A47136why the Teachers of the Church of England, more than Papists or Presbyterians?
A47136would he then in good earnest believe us to be divinely inspired?
A47136yea what can befall to a Christian, that is more worthy or desireable?
A47140( g) The Saints are partakers of the Divine Nature, and so are they of the Holy Ghost; is therefore the Holy Ghost a Work or Effect wrought in us?
A47140And is it the Baptists Doctrine to direct Men to the Material Temple, and Jerusalem, the Type for the Antitype?
A47140And shall any Christian say, that none of these Types signified Christ without, but only Christ within?
A47140And that he existeth outwardly, bodily, without us at God''s right Hand: What Scripture Proof hath he for these Words?
A47140And then what and where is God''s right Hand?
A47140And tho''I have not answer''d the said two( b) Books, why may not I say as they do, They are not worth answering?
A47140And was it not the same as we eat and drink?
A47140And when was that coming to be?
A47140And where do the Scriptures say, the Blood was there shed for Justification, and that Men must be directed to Jerusalem to it?
A47140And where doth the Scripture say he is outwardly and bodily glorified at God''s right Hand?
A47140And where doth the Scripture say?
A47140And where was it that God raised Christ from the Dead?
A47140And why did W. Penn give such a daring Challenge to Thomas Hicks, Reason against Railing, p. 184. and complain against him in these words?
A47140And why should Disputes viva voce be more offensive to Civil Peace than Disputes in Print?
A47140And why?
A47140Art thou deputed to Answer to what I have Charged them with?
A47140But is it not sad, that their false Philosophy should destroy their Faith, and deceive so many People, and destroy their Faith?
A47140But saith T. Ellwood, He does own that the Blood of Christ is more than the Blood of another Saint; but what B ● ood?
A47140But what then?
A47140But wherein does he charge him?
A47140But why must the Felicity of the Soul depend upon that of the Body?
A47140Can outward Blood wash the Conscience?
A47140Can we then deny a meek Man to be a Christian, a just, a merciful, a patient, a charitable and vertuous Man to be like Christ?
A47140Can you think so?
A47140Christ within, and Christ without?
A47140Did he ever write against these Principles he now holds?
A47140Did he not eat and drink?
A47140Do these Days express the Glory that he had with the Father before the World began, in which he is now glorified?
A47140Do these Terms express the Glory that he had with the Father before the World began?
A47140Does not this imply two Gods, and that God had a Father?
A47140Does this prove that Christ has no Body at all?
A47140Elwood give out that I differ from them in Doctrine, these men say I do not: What Confusion is here among them that say they are in Unity?
A47140For was not he the brightness of the Fathers glory, and the express Image of his Divine Substance?
A47140Hath not every single person as real and true Right to Justice, as a great number?
A47140Have you any Testimony of their owning that Letter?
A47140He does not own that Solomon Eccles''s Expression was an Article of their Faith, but does he disown it?
A47140He says I am disowned by them, where I live, I suppose he means the( a) Scots, do I Live among them?
A47140Horn''s Horn, yea or no; or rather whether has he not broken his own Horn?
A47140How?
A47140I Answer, Is the Joy of the Ancients now in Glory imperfect?
A47140I happened to charge W. Penn with self contradiction, will you hear that proved?
A47140I say, what cause have I to recite G. Whitehead and W. Penn''s whole Books to you, when they have not done so?
A47140If I might, I desire to have liberty to speak, when was the date of the Book?
A47140If the Translation be not good, why do you make use of it?
A47140If this were true, as it is most false, is it not most unjust Reasoning?
A47140In his Address to Protestants, second Edition, p. 152. he saith, But what then can be the meaning of Christ''s words, Go tell the Church?
A47140Is here any Transubstantiation?
A47140Is it any Reflection to say, God can not lye, and that he can not contradict his purpose?
A47140Is it contrary to their Religion to dispute their Adversary, viva voce?
A47140Is it not to make the Soul a kind of Widow, and so in a state of Mourning and Disconsolateness, to be without its beloved Body?
A47140Is it now to be looked for outwardly?
A47140Is it visibl ● or invisible?
A47140Is not this a plain Justification of Solomon Eccles''s Letter, That that Blood is no more than that of another Saint?
A47140Is not this abominab ● e Perversion of Scripture, to confirm his Antichristian Doctrine?
A47140Is not this enough to cheat all the World?
A47140Is there any thing here offensive?
A47140Is there none in the Christian World but the Quakers, that thirst after the Power of God in their Souls?
A47140Is this your Christianity?]
A47140Let us but soberly consider( saith William Penn) what Christ is, what is Christ but Meekness, and Justice, and Mercy, and Patience?
A47140Loid''s going away was a cause of the Separation, and yet was a beginning of the Separation: And is it not shameful?
A47140Luke 9.26, 27 Now what is that Glory of the Father, in which his coming is, is it visible to the Carnal Eye?
A47140May a Malefactor make this excuse; You shall not call me before a Justice without my consent?
A47140Norwood used to them who did excommunicate him, Are none the People of God but your selves?
A47140Now I have done with the two first Heads, shall I go on to prove the other two, or shall we adjourn to another day?
A47140Now here is G. Whiteheads reply, What Nonsense and Vnscriptural Language is this?
A47140Now mark, these Ten Articles of mine, that he calls Carnal, they are short, will you hear them?
A47140Now was this man of a Turbulent Spirit?
A47140Or are they in Heaven but by halves?
A47140Pray, Sir, where do you live, and what is your Name?
A47140Pray, may not a meeting held six months after contradict a meeting going before?
A47140Pray, was not Christ''s Body Elementary?
A47140Reasons and Causes,& c. — I appeal to you, is not this more than a Verbal Confession?
A47140Says G. Whitehead to R. Gordon, Dost thou look for Christ''s coming again to appear outwardly in a bodily Existence?
A47140See this little man''s passion now, what is he but a Creature, and a contentious Creature?
A47140T. E.) hath applyed that passage in Scripture, Master, is it I?
A47140Therefore the next Question to be put, must be, Whether he was the anti- typical Sacr ● fice?
A47140To tell of God being Co- Creator wi ● h the Father, or that God had glory with God?
A47140Was he like the Shell of an Egg without the Meat of an Egg?
A47140Was it not at Jerusalem?
A47140Was not Christ always in himself?
A47140Was there any Holiness ever in any Prophet or Apostle, but it is like a Drop to the Ocean to what was in ● ur blessed Lord?
A47140What Ministers were they?

A47140Where do the Scriptures say, saith G. W.) the blood was there shed for Justification, and that Men must be directed to Jerusalem to it?
A47140Where doth the Scripture say, that he is outwardly and bodily glorified at God''s right Hand?
A47140Who Printed that Letter?
A47140Who is he that dares to make a Distinction between Christ''s Body and his Spirit, and to put asunder what God hath joyned together?
A47140Who is sufficient for these things?
A47140Who makes it?
A47140Who says it is?
A47140Why can it be ● upposed?
A47140Why then did they dispute with the Baptists, and mightily provoked them thereunto, and that viva voc ●?
A47140Will you( speaking to them all four that spoke sometimes one and sometimes another) take upon you to vindicate your Friends?
A47140[ What is this but great hypocrisie?
A47140and what is the way to have it remembred( according to God''s ordinary manner of working) if not by preaching?
A47140but the question there was, Is it thou?
A47140he does not say it is a Mystery, but he puts three ifs to it, If a M ● stery,& c. Pray was our blessed Lord a mere Shell?
A47140i. e. Why is the Flesh conceived of the Holy Ghost, judged by the nature of an Human Body?
A47140or was he like the Shell of any Fruit, and no Kernel in it?

A47150( I speak according to your own principles) regard yee no more their souls, nor your bodily maintenance?

A47150and while the eye was kept open and single by the revelation of the Spirit of Truth, could the Dragon, or Whore, or Antichrist prevail over them?
A47150and while they kept here, did they not remain a pure chast Church unto Christ?
A47150and who were the builders?
A47150away with this; and why persecute ye such who are taught of God?
A47150can yee be said to disown them?
A47150can yee not preach elsewhere then in a Pulpit?
A47150could the many traditions or inventions get place, as the Ordinances of Christ, had they kept to the evidence and demonstration of the Spirit of God?
A47150did it not give the knowledge of the mysteries of God''s Kingdom unto them?
A47150did not the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation open the eyes of their understanding, to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge?

A47150did they not live in the Spirit, walk after the Spirit?
A47150did they not raise up many false slanders and reports against them?
A47150for hath not this been her plea all along this dark night of Apostacy, that the Revelation, Teachings, and leadings of the Spirit of Chirst is ceased?
A47150for what can you answer them who query you, why ye separated from them, being a true Church, though corrupt, as ye call it?

A47150how shall I deliver thee, O people of Scotland?
A47150if ever the Lord called you to your Ministry, had man power to have taken it from you?
A47150is he not an able Minister, who hath his ability given him of God, though man hath not taught him, and yet ye can not?
A47150is he not well learned?
A47150is this the fruit ye bring forth to him, after he gave you deliverance from your enemies, and peace and rest round about?
A47150or if they had taken you away by violence, what hinders but yee may return to the flock, were not the fear of man over you?

A47150or rather, was not your Ministry even such as the former, of mens making, which stood in man''s wisdom, and taught of men, as among the very Papists?
A47150or rather, were they not the most rude, profane rabble and multitude of the world, the same whereof the Prelatical and popish frame was composed of?
A47150should Wives, Shoo- makers, Plow- men, Herds- men, be Ministers of Christ?
A47150should ignorant men preach?
A47150should not they hold them with their Callings?
A47150should they incroach upon our sacred Function?
A47150should yee have obeyed that unjust command?
A47150was your Ministry a spiritual Ministry?
A47150were they able Ministers of the new Testament, not of the letter, but of the Spirit( such as the Scriptures speak of?)
A47150were they called from heaven by the Revelation of Christ?
A47150were they living stones polished and smoothed by the power of God?
A47150were they men taught of God standing in his wisdom?
A47150what can they say, they are not learned?
A47150what shall become of the Senator?
A47150yea, and much more; how can they preach unless they believe?
A47150your stipends are taken from you, but is that enough to make you leave off feeding the flock?

A4719328, call thou no man unclean, import, but that God hath not absolutly passed by any man without giving him an opportunity, by which he might be saved?
A471938. to be darkness, how then can saving light be in them?
A47193Againe hee saith, But have they not heard?

A47193Answ: Very well: yea, how can it be understood of any thing elce but that Light, which now so wrought in him that he saw that which before he saw not?

A47193Dost thou runn away?
A47193Doth not Wisdom cry, and understanding put forth her voice?
A47193Doth not this discourage people, and rather lay a block in the way of their Faith, then to point, ordirect them, unto a pillar and ground of it?
A47193Even that which they disobeyed, to wit the Gospell?
A47193For Iob neither lived among the Jews, nor was he of the Jewish Nation; Was it then only unto some particulars of the Gentiles?
A47193For what then?
A47193For, how do we agree with them while they deny, and we affirm it to be the very grace of the Gospell, and object of the faith thereof?

A47193Now, who are these, who sit in darknes, and in the shadow of death?
A47193Or was it only unto the Iews?
A47193Some may say, how is Christ to be understood, to be in the mouth?
A47193Then thou shalt say unto me, Dandamis, how good a counseller wert thou to me?

A47193What the Ministers of unrighteousnes to the Preachers of righteousnes?
A47193What waited it for?
A47193When will yee cease this senceles prattle?
A47193Which witnessed against their evill deeds?
A47193Who are his children, and these can not but come unto him, as Peter said Lord to whom shall goe but unto thee?
A47193Who is then, this man that wanteth understanding?
A47193Why so?
A47193Yea, according to this Doctrine, say some, it is in vain to pray at all; For what should a man pray for?
A47193a Regenerate or unregenerate one?
A47193a believer or unbeliever?
A47193and could they possibly take any delight to heare him talk, or in the least beleeve that he were like to do them any good?
A47193and did she promise this, and not truly and really intend, and resolve to perform it?
A47193and heightening the enmity between God and Man?
A47193and how can they hear without a preacher?
A47193and how could he be offered unto the Gentiles, to kiss him, if it were impossible for them so to do?
A47193and if it be replyed, they have had a Preacher, the Objection in the last place is, who, or what Preacher hath beene sent to them?
A47193and neglect to petition for its self that it may be saved from sin and wrath, from death and evill?
A47193and save it from its impurity?
A47193and scorners delight in scorning and fooles hate knowledge?
A47193and who is this Preacher that all nations must hear?
A47193and worse can not be found, unbeleevers, unbeleevers, with a witnesse; and wherefore doth she this?
A47193are they sufficient ministers( of any thing but unbelief) that turn people who are in darkness to no sufficient thing to lead them out of it?
A47193but the word of God?
A47193can more emphaticall and significant expressions be used by men?
A47193doth thy appearance, Wisdom, in and unto the Sons of Men, even to fools and simple ones, tend to their blessedness, to bring them to a blessed State?
A47193doth wisdom appear, speak to, visit such?
A47193even the Seed of Regeneration?
A47193even to the simple ones that love simplicity, to the Scorners that delight in scorning, to fooles that hate knowledge?
A47193for Grace?
A47193for how can they preach unlesse they be sent?
A47193for irresistible motions of the Grace of God?
A47193had not one sin, by them committed, been ground enough for him to have taken the forfeit?
A47193hath he given nothing to feed it?
A47193how and when, did they loose it?
A47193how much so ever transformed to the deceiving of many simple ones as the Ministers of righteousnes?
A47193if that were it he onely eyed?
A47193is he a Saint or a Sinner?
A47193no food I say, convenient for it, by which it might live in comfort and joy as other creatures do?
A47193no food convenient for it?
A47193nor the Lord Jesus, nor the tru worship of God?
A47193onely in scorne to upbraid them?
A47193onely tauntingly to triumph over them?
A47193onely to aggravate their sins, that she might increase their damnation?
A47193onely to boast her self against them?
A47193onely to harden them, that she might destroy them?
A47193seeing all never heard any outward Preacher?
A47193should the soule when it s to seek the Lord, onely seek him for the things pertaining to the body?
A47193such we must seek to convert and not be wroth with them, who would then be wroth with him that he ought to cure?
A47193that they may be perswaded to imbrace the word of Reconciliation, which God hath put in them, that in and by it, they may be reconciled to him?
A47193the world must have an end, what will then be mans life?
A47193their conversion from their evill to himself that they might be saved, or their confirmation and obduration in sin that they might be damned?
A47193to her, at her reproofs; and to what purpose?
A47193to what purpose?
A47193to what?
A47193to whom?
A47193was it not purifying, and saving in its nature before the fall; and if so, is it not saving and purifying after the fall?

A47145And of G. F.''s Faith, who denyeth, That Christ''s Body was from the Earth?
A47145And should not the diseased come daily to the Phisician till they be cured?
A47145And what is that the Gospel must be preached to, in the Heathens that will receive it?
A47145And what say''st thou to this?
A47145And when had the Man, Christ Jesus, his Beginning?
A47145And where he did give the Holy Ghost to you?
A47145And whether the House where you meet was ever shaken?
A47145And why did he not fully quote it, as it was objected in the Snake?
A47145And you hath he quickened who were dead in Trespasses and Sins?
A47145Another Quaker said, Is not the Seed Christ, and is not Christ within, the Seed of the Woman that bruiseth the Head of the Serpent?
A47145Are not they Believers; Have they no Faith?
A47145B. in Nature but not in Stature; Nature relates to G. W. but not in Stature relates to another; but who is this other who can tell?
A47145Beside, how can it be conveyed by natural Generation?
A47145Beside, how could a Manifestation become Flesh, or take Man''s Nature, as the Son did?
A47145But G. W. thought to excuse S. F. and himself from the imputation of Popery, on the Point of Justification, and that very handsomly, why?
A47145But as to this Conveyance of Christ''s Flesh, conveyed or transmitted from Adam into his Posterity, since his Fall, what Scripture Language is this?
A47145But did I. Faldo, W. P''s Opponent, make Faith in Christ''s outward Manifestation, in Opposition to his Power and Work in the Soul?
A47145But first, was not the Quakers Nature once sinful, as really as the Nature of other Men?
A47145But how could Christ in them be disobedient; not only Spirits, but disobedient Spirits?
A47145But how do they believe it?
A47145But how grosly doth Edward Burrough pervert those Scriptures to prove his most corrupt Doctrine, that is plain Ranterism?
A47145But how is it that G. W. disowns what was written in the Book called Ishmael, against the three Persons?
A47145But is not G. W.''s Fallacy very plain in this Case?
A47145But is not this a Piece of dull Sophistry to save the Credit of his Infallibility?
A47145But is this to deny or oppose Christ''s coming to Judge the Quick and the Dead?
A47145But then what saith he concerning them who are in the Travel towards Perfection?
A47145But then, how shall the Wicked see him?
A47145But thou saith, Christ doth not dwell in them personally, doth not Christ dwell in his Saints, as he is in the Person of the Father, the Substance?
A47145But to this I say''first, How many unscripture Terms do they freequently use?
A47145But we shall come anon to treat more fully of this: And how is that fulfilled in Christ within, A Bone of him shall not be broken?
A47145But what if they die in that Time of Travel, before a sinless Perfection be attained?
A47145But what is that Soul that the wicked is not able to kill?
A47145But when is it, that the Seed in Men is the Mighty God?
A47145But whereas G. W. saith, He that hath should be left out; pray who put them in?
A47145But why do they call them Three Witnesses, as G. W. hath so expresly called them?
A47145But why must the Felicity of the Soul, depend upon that of the Body?
A47145But why need they not always to preach it?
A47145But yet further to discover the grossness of this wild Notion: Is this Flesh of Christ conveyed or transmitted into his Posterity, Crucified or Alive?
A47145But, what do they mean by Christ''s Merits?
A47145Can he be a Manifestation of himself?
A47145Can the Light within work any other Repentance but that which is unfeigned?]
A47145Could Christ have been said to have been transfigured, if his coming in the Flesh had not been a Figure or Example, till his Glory was revealed?
A47145Could G. F. be so sottish, as not to distinguish between a Carnal Body, and a Carnal Mind?
A47145Do not you think it needless to pray for the Pardon of your Sins?
A47145Doth not this imply two Gods, and that God had a Father, let the Reader judge?
A47145Doth the Light within so reach it, that they have it without preaching?
A47145Doth the Spirit bind Believers to that which is no Rule or Law?
A47145For was not he the Brightness of his Father''s Glory, and the express Image of his Divine Substance?
A47145For who can Crucifie Christ in Men, but they themselves( on supposition that he can be Crucified?)
A47145For who witness these Conditions that they were in, that gave forth the Scriptures?
A47145Had he not better, more like a Man and a Christian, acknowledged his Error, than to lay the Fault upon[ as wrong writ, or wrong printed?]
A47145He answers, Here thou goest about to make the Spirit and the Word not one; is not the Word Spiritual, and Christ called the Word?
A47145He asked whether a Substance could be without Accidents?
A47145He said, He was conceived by the Holy Ghost: I again replied, But that''s no Answer to my Question, who was his Father?
A47145He said, The Blood was the Life: But I asked again, Was it the Blood without us, or the Blood within us?
A47145He said, The Son of Mary: I replied; Mary was his Mother, but who was his Father properly?
A47145He saith, he shewed a dislike of S. E.''s Expressions before- cited, but how?
A47145Here thou would make two Christs, a Christ whose Person is above the Clouds, and a Christ within; but how provest thou two such Christs?
A47145How can he more prove this Charge against them than his own Society or himself?
A47145How do you then believe in Christ, in whom all the Promises of God are yea and amen?
A47145How shall their Children have the Faith of it without preaching?
A47145I Answer, Is the Joy of the Ancients, now in Glory, imperfect?
A47145I again asked, but was it earthly, when on earth?
A47145I ask them what became of them all of that ancient Church( who daily confessed their Sins, and prayed for Forgiveness) when they died?
A47145I ask these Men( saith he) where the Scripture doth so direct Men to go to the outward Temple at Jerusalem for Jesus Christ?
A47145I asked Daniel Philips, what he said to my former Question; Did Men, by their Sins, really wound God in them, as some of their Teachers have affirmed?
A47145I asked him again, Was our Lord''s Body earthly, when it was on earth?
A47145I asked him, Whether that Blood was the Blood of Christ without us, that was shed on the Cross?
A47145If any of them will dare so to affirm, give us Chapter and Verse for any such Doctrine or Terms?
A47145If you can declare it, how is Christ the only begoten Son of God, if he be a Creature?
A47145Indeed Sin hath brought a Spiritual Death upon the Souls of Men: But what then?
A47145Is it at its first being received into the Heart, according to W. P''s Notions?
A47145Is it not that which God hath in his Hand?
A47145Is not the Soul without Beginning coming from God, returning into God again, who hath it in his Hand?
A47145Is not this a great Perversion, as well as nonsensical Exposition of G. F. on this Place of Peter, to prove that wicked Men imprison Christ in them?
A47145Is not this a rare Proof for a sinless Perfection?
A47145Is not this horrid Blasphemy?
A47145Is not this that cometh out from God, which is in God''s Hand, part of God, of God and from God, and to God again, which Soul Christ is the Bishop of?
A47145Is not this to fright People from reading the Letter, to tell them the cursed Serpent, i. e. the Devil is in it?
A47145Is there not here a palpable contradiction betwixt W. Penn and his Brethren?
A47145Must not they who feel themselves wounded with Sin, seek for a Cure?
A47145Must they therefore none of them that have sinned be saved?
A47145Nay, doth it not contrarywise direct them?
A47145Next he has an impertinent Question, as to the Division of Chapters and Verses, Can these Men say that was done by Divine Authority?
A47145Note, Is this any Proof, that the Saints, such as Paul, who writ these Words, were not real Men upon Earth?
A47145Note, Were not some of these above- mentioned, Members of the Quaker''s Church?
A47145Note, do none of these belong to the Church, who yet have not arrived to a sinless Perfection, but are in that Time of Travel?
A47145Note, this was only for his asking What is original Sin?
A47145Now I ask( saith he) if they did live and remain to a personal Coming of Christ in the Clouds, yea, or nay?
A47145Now what Flesh can they have of Christ in them, but what is merely Spirit?
A47145Of what was Christ''s Transfiguration a Figure?
A47145Or are they in Heaven but by halves?
A47145Or can it be reasonably thought to be a Coming that is not yet, that they lived and remained unto?
A47145Or how can God beget a Creature?
A47145Or how was it our Example to follow?
A47145Or if they did discern them, why did they not discover them, and get them cast out of the Camp?
A47145Or is he a Manifestation of the Son, who( as they say) is a Manifestation?
A47145Or is there an inward spiritual Blood of Christ slain in Men, that is not the Godhead?
A47145Or where were they cleansed from their Sins after Death?
A47145P. Is not this a rare Instance of it?
A47145Pray what proper Resemblance had they?
A47145Some of them having asked the Question, VVhether your Baptizers cast out Devils, and drink any deadly thing, and it not hurt you?
A47145The Holy Ghost and Son was equal in Substance and Power and Glory with the Father: What?
A47145The Question being put, Whether the Quakers did esteem their Speakings to be of as great Authority as any Chapter in the Bible?
A47145The Saints are said in Scripture to be Partakers of the Holy Ghost, are they therefore equal to the Holy Ghost?
A47145The above mentioned Words of G. F. in G. M. Doth not Christ dwell in his Saints, as he is in the Person of the Father, the Substance?
A47145Thou blind Hypocrite, was not be in Egypt while Herod was King, and out of Egypt have I called my Son, saith the Lord?
A47145Thou might as well ask if the moral Law, as thou callest it, be a Rule to Christ?
A47145Thus one Manifestation would be the Manifestation of another Manifestation; but then what would the Holy Spirit be a Manifestation of?
A47145Upon the reading these Places, Samuel Jobson, one of the Quakers Elders said, George, doth not the Scriptures say, that some crucifie Christ a- fresh?
A47145VVe witness he was in Satan''s Chains, and is in thee, else how could they crucifie him a fresh?
A47145VVhat is the Soul of Man, and the Preciousness of it, seeing Christ says, It is more worth than all the VVorld?
A47145VVhere doth the Scripture say, that his Soul was created?
A47145VVho hast thou preached all this while?
A47145Was ever the Holy Ghost, or the Godhead slain in Men?
A47145Was it not Christ''s own Doctrine?
A47145Was not rather the Lamb, in respect of its Innocency, a proper Figure of Christ''s Innocency, as the Lamb of God once offered for Sin?
A47145Was not the Person of Christ Jesus before the World was?
A47145We would ask these Men( say they) if God''s own Blood be not Spiritual, whether it be Carnal, and the Blood of his Covenant such also?
A47145What Excuse can George VVhitehead, or any of his Brethren find for this palpable Injustice in George Fox?
A47145What Nonsense and Darkness is this?
A47145What are these more celestial Eyes, seeing he will not have Christ''s Coming to be without Men in a bodily Existence?
A47145What say ye to this Friends, said G. W?
A47145What shall we now say of the great Unity that the Teachers of the Quakers boast of, in Doctrine as well as in Spirit?
A47145When was that Christ created, which you say, must, as a Creature, judge the World?
A47145Where do they find in Scripture, the Term immediate Revelation, immediate teaching of the Spirit, immediate Word, which they so commonly use?
A47145Where do they find them in Scripture so called?
A47145Where is now the Unity they boast of?
A47145Whether Christ in the Flesh be a Figure or not, and if a Figure, how, and in what?
A47145Why did he not then except against the Word, But a Figure?
A47145Why did they not discern them, seeing they have( as they pretend) an infallible discerning of Mens Hearts?
A47145Why do they not begin at home, and first cleanse their own House, and purge out the old Leaven from among them?
A47145Why have they not all this time retracted this?
A47145Will he again distinguish betwixt a means and an external means?
A47145Will this justifie G. F. his running into the other Extream?
A47145Wyeth to this?
A47145Years?
A47145and are not such Evils as he has mentioned, that were among them, Spots, and Blemishes, and Sins?
A47145brought it to prove R. Hubb''s Saying, Christ''s coming in the Flesh, was but a Figure?
A47145doth argue in his Truth and Innocency?
A47145for the Scripture saith, Every Eye shall see him, even they who have pierced him; must they have celestial Eyes wherewith to see him?
A47145has made in his Christian Epistle to the People called Quakers, of so many things amiss among them, as above quoted?
A47145himself, though whether it was or not, is not material to the case) and on the Margin they say, Must they then go on Pilgrimage?
A47145know, that as there is a gradual going unto Perfection, so there is a gradual forsaking of Sin, and a putting off the old Man with his Deeds?
A47145more like a Heathen than a Christian, queries, Pray what proper Resemblance had they?
A47145or he that preacheth Christ the Head?
A47145p. 14. saith, Now where''s the Blasphemy pray?
A47145p. 2?
A47145prove that the Children of God are equal with God, either in Nature or Stature?
A47145replies, VVhat Nonsence and unscripture Language is this, to tell of God being Co- creator with the Father, or that God had Glory with God?
A47145saith, is the Life and Light and Spirit of God within, and the Holy Ghost?
A47145was it the Son or Holy Chost that is equal to God in the Divine Nature but not in Stature?
A47145well in writing, That Christ''s coming in the Flesh was but a Figure?
A47145who to be sure is another?
A47145without Men, and also Christ''s Innocency, as he lived and walked among Men, and was not his outward Person innocent?

A47130About what time of the World''s Age from Adam''s Creation did Christ suffer Death?
A47130An Effect altogether good, must have all its Causes perfectly good; otherwise, if there be a defect but in one of them, the Effect is imperfect?

A47130Are they then distinct Beings( though not separate) from God?
A47130Are we to make use of any Images in Divine Worship?
A47130But are these peculiar Doctrins of the Christian Religion revealed to Mankind without Scriptures, or some outward Means of Instruction?
A47130But can God, or Christ, as he is the Word, be said to be a Light in Men, either universally in all Men, or specially in faithful Men?
A47130But doth not the Covenant of Grace require any terms or conditions on our part, as Faith and Repentance, and new Obedience?
A47130But doth not the Spirit at times give new words to a Man that has a spiritual Gift of Prayer?

A47130But if God and Christ be a Light in Men, then what need is there of any thing else without Men?
A47130But in every Nation, he that f ● areth him and worketh righteousness is accepted with him?
