A52043On the other side, Go ye cursed ▪ Why are they cursed?
A52043Secondly, for exhortation to all, especially to you Right honourable, and beloved; What words shall I use?
A52043There is comfort in doing good to one, but to advance the good of many, especially of the Church of God, how honourable, how glorious is it?
A52043They came not to the helpe of the Lord against the Mighty, Who are these Mighty?
A52043What can not Prayer doe?
A52043What fruit?
A52043What greater evidence can there be in the world, that men are blessed or cursed, than this?
A52043What honour or reward dost thou expect for this desperate service?
A52043What hope hast thou of speeding?
A52043What is there in the submissions and supplications of poor worms to work such wonders?
A52043What made Jael such a blessed woman?
A52043What shall we thinke of these men?
A52043What should I say more?
A52043What was the good that Hezekiah had done?
A52043What was the house- hold of Stephanus?
A52043What was the strength, whereby, as a Prince, he had power with God?
A52043Who was Meroz, and what people were they?
A52043how willingly would yee continue to spend, and to bee spent in so good worke?
A52043to know no crosse but the Churches crosse?
A52043to preferre the joy of the Church before all his owne peace and wellfare?
A52043what evils are his righteous servants guilty of against thee?
A52043what glory is in these things?
A52043what hurt hath Christ done to thee?
A52043what iniquitie hast thou found in him?
A52043what then are they, who instead of helping the Lord against the mighty, do help the mighty against the Lord?
A520518. no expresse law against Polygamy, no expresse command for the celebration of a weekly Sabbath; are therefore Christians free in all these cases?
A52051And concerning these, there are two sorts of questions: First, Whether any Infants at all are to bee Baptized?
A52051But what benefit comes to children by such kind of sealing as this is?
A52051Can any man forbid water that these should not bee baptized, who have rece ● ved the Holy Ghost as well as wee?
A52051Could every one of them promise to himself that Christ should be born of his flesh?
A52051Doe the Gods you have chosen to serve, provide better things then these, that you renounce Christ for their sakes?
A52051For as much as God gave them the like gift as hee did unto us, what was I that I could withstand God?
A52051How should this ingage all Christian Parents to look to the education of their Children, to bring them up in the nurture and feare of the Lord?
A52051Is there any Argument or proofe in this?
A52051Let me a little reason the case with you, Doe you know into what a Covenant the Lord hath taken you?
A52051Now tell me what is the reason of your unanswerable conversation, is it because you renounce the Covenant, as being made when you understood it not?
A52051Or every one of their women that she should be the Mother of Christ?
A52051Secondly, Supposing some have right to it, yet it''s greatly disputed, whose Infants may bee Baptized?
A52051What strength of reason is in this?
A52051Whether the Infants of beleeving Parents, the Infants of Saints, are to be admitted to the Holy Sacrament?
A52051can any sober Christian thinke this a small fault?
A52051can we think our condemnation not to be greater then theirs?
A52051have not your Ministers and Parents instructed you in it?
A52051or where and how do you hope to find better things, then God to be your Father, Christ Jesus to bee your Saviour, the Spirit to bee your Comforter?
A52051that he should bee your God, and you remain the Devils servant?
A52051that he should love you, and you hate him?
A52051that he should provide Heaven for you, and you walk in the way which leads to Hell?
A52051they having not the use of reason, and not knowing what the Covenant meanes?
A52051to have your sins pardoned and healed, to be adopted, justifyed, sanctifyed, and every way comfortably provided for here, and saved for ever?
A52051what disadvantage have you met withall?
A52051what he hath done for you, and expects from you?
A52051what hurt is there in it?
A52051〈 ◊ 〉 any at all are to bee Baptized?
A89567( saith the Prophet in the 66 of Isaiah:) What is that?
A89567And the like hath the Prophet Zachary, What art thou, O great mountain?
A89567And what was the work that hee did there?
A89567Are there not other Empires and States, more pompous, and powerfull, and glorious, and excellent then Zion?
A89567But saith one, Who is the Father of the Prophets?
A89567But who is he, or where is he, that in his heart dare think such a thing?
A89567But why doth he then so delay it?
A89567Doth the Lord appeare in his glory when he builds up Zion?
A89567For( saith he) Why should there be wrath upon the Realme of the King, and his Sons?
A89567Is Saul amongst the Prophets?
A89567It is true, the gates of Hell doe alwayes appeare with all their wisdome and strength against it, but what of that?
A89567Secondly, and by what Instruments doe you thinke the Lord doth build it?
A89567Who hath hegotten me these?
A89567and on the other side, when ready to sinke, how unexpectedly hath he raised our hopes?
A89567and what are their Tooles?
A89567and what is the work?
A89567as he said of Abana and Parphar, were they not better rivers then all the rivers of Samaria?
A89567for he is small, our money failes us, our Trade is gone, yea, in many places Ordinances faile us, mens hearts are discouraged; what shall we doe?
A89567how shall I make thee as Sodom?
A89567must there not be a space between seed- time and harvest?
A89567of a Nation that was borne in a day: Shall the earth be made to bring forth in a day?
A89567or shall a child be begotten and born in a day?
A89567that is thus glorious in his apparell: travelling in the greatnesse of his strength?
A89567these, where have they been?
A89567what art thou before my servants the builders?
A89567what deep conspiracies hath he detected?
A89567what is Zion to Nineveh or Babylon, that all must so stand amazed at the reparation of it?
A89567what is hee that appeares in thus much glory?
A89567what victories hath he bestowed?
A89567what was the glory?
A89567who are his Work- men?
A89567who hath brought up these?
A89567who hath knowne the minde of the Lord, or who hath beene his Counsellour?
A89567who hath seen such things?
A89567who is this?
A89583And doe you thus also for your immortast soules?
A89583Are you not like David in his old age, when no cloths could make him warm?
A89583Can wee by searching finde out the Almighty?
A89583Doe you not drive like Iehu, furiously, as if you would break your Chariot wheeles into peeces?
A89583Doth not the Scripture say, it is easie?
A89583First, for mourning: Doe all that are rightly affected with the Kingdome of Heaven, offer violence to it, in this way that I have discover''d to you?
A89583For your wealth, or your pleasure, or your honour?
A89583How sadly doth this speak against the generality of people?
A89583It may be demanded, First, What use is there of a violent spirit in the pursuit of the Kingdome of Heaven?
A89583Vt jugulent homines surgunt de nocte latrones, If theeves watch by night to kill men, shall not honest men watch to preserve their own lives?
A89583What seasonable Mercies hath he sent you?
A89583What unexpected victories hath he given you?
A89583and if it bee so, quors ● m haec?
A89583and to what purpose then is that violence of the spirit?
A89583are you not like Snailes in the pursuit of the things of Gods Kingdom?
A89583are you not like the Egyptians when their Chariet wheeles were taken off, when they drove slowly and heavily?
A89583did you goe as children doe, to see rattles and toyes?
A89583doe you not thus for the world?
A89583doth any mans eagernesse and violence of spirit purchase this at Gods hand?
A89583how doe they sell all?
A89583how sad then is the condition of most in England this day?
A89583is it in our power, by our labour to carry it?
A89583is not all in this work of Gods free Grace, who shewes mercy to whom hee will shew mercy?
A89583is this Race to the swift?
A89583no, but wee went to see and heare Iohn the Baptist; and what in him?
A89583or this Battle to the strong?
A89583say every one for your owne soules, doth your conscience witnesse, that you offer violence to the Kingdome of Heaven?
A89583to what purpose should violence be ufed, to take a Fort, that will be taken without violence?
A89583was it a Reed shaken with the wind?
A52050And now( Honorable and Beloved) in such sad& uncomfortable times as these are, what have the Heads of our Israel to doe?
A52050And what have our Heads to doe at such a time?
A52050But what have our Heads and Rulers to doe in that?
A52050Did you then thus know the times?
A52050Have not most of us lived all our dayes, as if God had made us for the World, as Leviathan for the Sea, onely to take our pleasure in it?
A52050In the beginning of our publique troubles, our question was, by whom shall England arise now it is thus low?
A52050Now( beloved) have you known your times, and taken your opportunities?
A52050O how much of our pretious time have they devoured and wee regard it not?
A52050O what cause of lamentations is there: First, In generall to us all?
A52050Should this bee a time of jollitie?
A52050There is one more, and that is, A Use of Exhortation; Is this so excellent and necessary a dutie, to know the times in reference to our duties?
A52050VVhat gratious man who understands this, would ever pray to God in his Chamber without remembring you, and your work?
A52050Verses, after this manner, How doe you say you are wise?
A52050Wee demanded, where shall wee finde Captaines and Commanders for a warre in a Nation where all men have been bred in ease and peace?
A52050What then is to be done?
A52050Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a foole to buy wisedome, seeing he hath no heart to it?
A52050and if so, have you beene humbled under these things?
A52050certainly all people should tremble when God is angry; The Lyon roares, what beast doth not tremble?
A52050did not you thereby helpe to pull downe those judgements that have beene like to devoure and destroy this whole Land?
A52050did you know what God expected from you in your places, and have you done it?
A52050did you then walke as wise men, redeeming the times?
A52050have you since repented of them?
A52050how have you walked I beseech you?
A52050or do they still stand upon your score before that God that keeps an exact accompt of all the Talents that ever hee hath put into your hands?
A52050that is, no ● an can bee compared to a wise man, what is hee?
A52050what accompt could you make?
A52050what cause have we to tremble at the thought of it?
A52050what doth the Lord looke for at your hands?
A52050what improvement you have made of them?
A89585( saith God) doe not I breake the rockes?
A89585( saith he) you speake of dayes of fasting, that you have kept 70. yeers, did you fast to mee?
A89585( saith hee) so doe you thinke any allurements for God, shall make this wretched man carry the yoke of Gods Commandements?
A895854. saith he, Who over harden''d himself against God, and prosper''d?
A895857. what was it made her so bold in her filthinesse that shee will take her fill of love till the morning?
A89585Ah Lord, why hast thou harden''d our hearts from thy feare?
A89585Because( saith hee) sentence against an evill one is not presently executed, God spares him, what then?
A89585Chapter they said they would do that which was good in their own eyes; but who were they?
A89585Christ saith to them, Have ye your hearts yet harden''d?
A89585Did I either appoint them?
A89585Lord what is it?
A89585O Lord, why are our hearts harden''d from thy fear?
A89585and harden''d our hearts from thy feare?
A89585art not thou set notwithstanding to goe on in that way, though God sometimes follow thee with judgements?
A89585art thou able to hold u ● the weapons, when hee comes to strike?
A89585art thou come to this passe?
A89585can thy faire words perswade him to doe it?
A89585doest thou understand that thou art in defiance with heaven?
A89585doest thou understand that thou hast sent a challenge to God?
A89585dost thou not cast the judgements off, if it bee possible, or lie and vex under them, and yet goe on?
A89585dost thou understand( I say) that the Lord God almighty is entred the lists against thee?
A89585hath not God enlightned thy conscience, that the wayes that thou walkest in, are the wayes that lead to death?
A89585heare a word or two from God, thou miserable wretched man, knowest thou what thou hast undertaken?
A89585of Isaiah; who would set Briars and Thornes in battle against mee?
A89585or doe I accept them?
A89585or have you carried them as you should doe?
A89585or now when thou hearest it, do not thy joynts tremble?
A89585or wilt thou not understand it?
A89585say once againe, Art not thou resolved to goe on in thy way, what ever come of it?
A89585should ye not heare the words that the Prophets cried in former times, when Ierusalem was inhabited, and the Cities thereof round about her?
A89585what doth every dispensation speake?
A89585what doth every stroke thinke thou speake?
A89585what man would be so mad, to set Briars and Thornes to fight with devouring fire?
A89585why doth hee give thee leave to speake to him in prayer?
A89585why doth hee powre upon thee so many mercies?
A89585why doth hee visit thee with afflictions?
A89585would''st thou have the stone in thy heart broken?
A895864. Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorifie thy Name?
A89586And was not the Church in other Countries as low?
A89586And were not all their works wrought for them, by the rage, cruelty, and cunning of their enemies?
A89586Art not thou from everlasting, my Lord, my God, my holy One?
A89586Can you upon this day of thanksgiving doe lesse then enquire, What shall we render unto the Lord?
A89586First, for what is past; what reall sorrow have ye in your hearts, for those sins which you call God to witnesse you are thus sorry for?
A89586For having been lately restored from the gates of death, what greater mercy could I wish, then to praise God in the great Congregation?
A89586For them, what great things hath the Lord lately done, and by what very weak means?
A89586Hath he not carryed you in his bosome?
A89586Have you not checked his providences, not improved his deliverances, and the advantages which God hath put into your hands?
A89586Heaven and earth shall be on fire, and what shall these things be then?
A89586Honourable and beloved, how a bominable a thing were it, to see the Angels of God live like the instruments of Satan?
A89586How grievous is the remembrance of them, how intolerable do you feel the burthen of them?
A89586Our liberty almost swallowed up, and turned into slavery; our Religion into Popery, and Arminianisme?
A89586Secondly,[ fear:] who would not fear thee?
A89586Secondly?
A89586Shall he escape that doth these things?
A89586The great mercies which we enjoy, the great deliverances we have lately received, from what a high hand have they come?
A89586They engage and binde themselves faster and closer to him, in his worship and service, Who shall not feare thee O Lord, and glorify thy Name?
A89586Were not the book of Service, and the book of Canons, sent, and obtruded upon them from England, the occasion of their late mercies?
A89586Wherfore have we our reason and tongues, but to observe, and speak of these things?
A89586Who but the Lord God Almighty could do this?
A89586Who can be ignorant of these things?
A89586are these the Angels that must pour out the vials of thy wrath?
A89586are these thy Christians?
A89586are these thy Reformers?
A89586can these men save us?
A89586even when, and where he hath delivered you?
A89586hath he not kept you as the apple of his eye?
A89586have you not gone about to kill his goodnesse with your unkindnesses, by provoking him at the sea, even at the red sea?
A89586or do you intend under pretence of being factors for Christ, to drive a trade for Satan and Antichrist, to betray Religion and Liberty?
A89586or do you take Gods Name in vain, calling him to witnesse of the sorrow for those things which he knows you take pleasure in?
A89586or if your hearts, at any time, have been raised a little, have they not presently been at a dead low ebb again?
A89586that Reformers of Religion, should hate religion?
A89586that such an one dare blaspheme, and swear, and abuse Religion?
A89586that such as are called to save the Kingdome, should betray the Kingdome?
A89586to what a very dead low ebbe were we brought?
A89586was not the tyrannie of a few of their Prelats, a means to unburden them of their whole Prelacy?
A89586who were they but the poorer,& meaner sort of people, that at the first joyned with the Ministers, to raise the building of Reformation?
A52041And can setling a new discipline, or rooting out some speculative errours, allow you to resist a good Christian Protestant Prince?
A52041And can you hope to appeare with any confidence when that Chapter shall be charg''d upon you?
A52041And having beene done, can any excuse be made for them?
A52041Are not you, Sir, one of those Godly Divines that have been consulted with, as the whole Kingdome, hath beene given to understand?
A52041But if Christian Religion might be thus defended, must Discipline therefore be so defended?
A52041Can not they be saved under an oppressing cruell Governour?
A52041Consider Sir, from whom has the King His power?
A52041Did Saint Paul say, yee must needs be Subject not onely for wrath but Conscience sake, and whosoever resisteth receiveth to himselfe Damnation?
A52041Did he ever, or any by his command burne the Liturgie, damne the Articles and Canons, abominate the Homilies of the Church?
A52041Do his Souldiers tear Surplices, and threaten to murther the wearers of them?
A52041Do you in the Gospell, Master S. Marshall,( which is your Commission) find any encouragements, or which is more, any command to foment Warre?
A52041Do you indeed thinke Sir, that any of your Masters beleeve themselves, when they make such objections?
A52041For Mr Marshall, can any Christian deny that all these things have not beene done?
A52041For consider Master Marshall, are Christian Subjects bound in Conscience not to suffer the effects of Tyranny?
A52041From whence are Warres, in generall, and fightings among you?
A52041Had not the Jewes as great Civill Priviledges as wee, granted by God himselfe?
A52041Has any man power over his owne life, to relinquish it at his pleasure?
A52041Have not all subordinate Magistrates their power from him, and therefore are they not with respect to him, meere private persons?
A52041Have not you forced him to unsheath his sword meerly to prevent innovations in all these?
A52041How then comes it to passe, that neither you, nor any of your partie should exhort men to patience or martyrdom now?
A52041Is he not indeed, and as you have often sworne to acknowledge him, the supreame Monarch in his dominions?
A52041Is it incogitancie or ignorance in you Ministers that there is such want of the Gospell in these points?
A52041Is it out of conscience that you dare not?
A52041Is that Chapter, Master Marshall, a part of that Covenant by which you must be judged at the last day?
A52041Is the patitient suffering ones selfe to be defrauded and injured by a lawfull Ruler become a sinne?
A52041Is there any one word either in the Common or Statute Law, which allowes an English Subject with Armes in hand to resist the King in person?
A52041Not once to preach publikely against them though you knew many of your chiefe Auditors were guilty of them?
A52041Not one Master Marshall, not one single one, that to any thinking, considering Christian will seem of any kinde of moment at all?
A52041O Sir, where are those Texts?
A52041Then can zeale for Religion dispense with you, thinke you?
A52041Where is then your Christian charitie all this while, Master Marshall?
A52041Which is then the invading and which is the defending side?
A52041Why is not one Gospell quotation produced for this purpose?
A52041Will not the Gospell warrant such exhortations, thinke you?
A52041Would he infringe any old Lawes, or Priviledges, or Articles?
A52041does not all exercise of coercion and power from all Courts issue by his writ?
A52041excepting only that which they will be ashamed to brag of, the City of munster?
A52041had not they a command not to set a stranger over them?
A52041is it not from God?
A52041must no crossing, no kneeling, no ceremonies, no prescribed prayers, be so defended?
A52041or at last speak out Plain English in this point too: Is it indeed the English Protestant Religion of the Kingdom that you would thus defend?
A52041or does he tell you, that he quits and releases unto you your allegeance when he failes in any of these promises?
A52041was not His Majesty a King invested with his full power before he made these promises at his Coronation?
A52041why ▪ did the King ever persecute the Religion of the Kingdome?
A52041without horrour, and secret wishes that S. Paul had had no inke to write words, that will prove so fatall against you?
A89580( I am now pleading Gods cause, and though a poore unworthy man, I stand betwixt God and a Kingdome) I aske again, are we an holy people?
A895804. Who art thou, O great Mountaine?
A89580And is it not a shame, that the Lords friends should bee more backward in his cause than the vassalls of Satan are in their Masters?
A89580And then, if we should take in the third branch of ingaging ourselves in Gods cause, how little zeale is there for God?
A89580And what is the Glory of that City?
A89580Are not five Sparrowes sold for a Farthing, saith our Saviour?
A89580Are not you more worth than all the Sparrowes in the World?
A89580Are our Princes, our Rulers, our Magistrates, our Ministers, and the body of the people holy?
A89580Are you come to Fast, and Pray before the Lord?
A89580As if he had said, would you have an abridgement of all the excellencies of this City and Temple?
A89580But to come nearer yet, and bring it home into your owne bosomes; what if you your selves bee guilty of these things?
A89580Do you not know that God is more easily provoked by a people among whom hee walkes, than by any other people whatsoever?
A89580Doe we walke thus?
A89580Doe you call this an acceptable Day?
A89580Doe you come to stand betwixt God, and the Nation, when you wallow in such wayes as GODS soule abhorres?
A89580Doe you not know that the Church of Christ is his Spouse?
A89580Doe you such things as are rebellion against God, and pull downe his vengeance on us?
A89580Doe you thinke the LORD will accept of any service at your hands?
A89580Doth not hee then deserve to bee owned?
A89580First, are we an holy people?
A89580How is that?
A89580Iehovah is every where; Whither shall I goe from thy presence?
A89580Is any Country esteemed a part of a Princes Dominion, that is not ruled by his Lawes?
A89580Is it not in that thou goest with us?
A89580Is there not a lie in my right hand?
A89580Moses speakes of the Israelites after this manner: What Nation( in all the world) is so great as thou art?
A89580Nay, is there any thing this day so hated, as holinesse?
A89580Or was it, that by hanging the head as a Bulrush for a day, you might expiate your sinnes with God, and take a new Ticket to sinne againe?
A89580VVhat is happinesse but the fruition of the greatest good?
A89580What Nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them as the Lord our God is in all things,& c?
A89580What if you your selves have a chiefe hand in these transgressions?
A89580What is glory, but the shining out of excellency?
A89580What is that?
A89580What is the matter?
A89580What little care hath the State in general taken to provide that Christ might ride in Triumph upon his white horse?
A89580What need I say any more?
A89580What presence then is here intended?
A89580What was Iudahs faithfulnes?
A89580What was the glory of Hierusalem then?
A89580What was the reason?
A89580Who can looke upon poore Germany, and not even bee compelled to weepe over the Booke of the Lamentations againe?
A89580Wilt thou not possesse that which Chemosh thy god gives thee to possesse?
A89580Would not this move any man to bee on Gods side?
A89580You have taken away my God, and what have I more?
A89580You will say, Who is he?
A89580and where is he that dares presume in his heart to doe so?
A89580are you not in Gods Worke?
A89580because it is now a received thing in England, in the beginning of a Parliament to keepe a Fast?
A89580have we not gotten termes to scoffe down all goodnesse?
A89580is not almost every man who will not sweare and be drunke, and be deboyst as a Turke, or worse, cryed downe with the odious name of a Puritan?
A89580that the Word of God might spread into every corner of the Land?
A89580was it to keepe a day for Formality?
A89580who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
A89580yea would not every true hearted subject in the Kingdome say thus also?
A77856A Covenant with God?
A77856After all this, he and all the people 〈 … 〉 a solemne Covenant, and that at the time of a publique Fast?
A77856And can men that are born, and living, live safely, or at all, without continuall supply of food convenient for them?
A77856And have not we seen this verified also neerer home?
A77856And how goe they?
A77856And how so?
A77856And in trueth, when will we thus joyne our selves to the Lord, if not at a Fast?
A77856And shall he begin, and we think much to follow?
A77856And this was part of Gods Answer to the Jewes enquiring of the Prophet whether they should continue their solemne Fasts?
A77856And what is the substance of their Covenant?
A77856And why all this?
A77856And why so?
A77856And, how have men rejoyced at their falls?
A77856And, how so?
A77856And, is it better now?
A77856And, what is the businesse; the end of all this hast?
A77856And, what of her?
A77856And, what then?
A77856But what should be the meanes of such an unexpected destruction?
A77856But, that is the Covenant on Gods part, you will say?
A77856Did they not know him before?
A77856Did they omit prayer, and fasting, and seeking early after God?
A77856Ephraim also shall say, What have I to do any more with Idols?
A77856Hast thou been a swearer, and so thou wilt be?
A77856Hath not God himselfe said plainly, a Where there is no vision the people perish?
A77856Hath this use ever been so much as thought of by us?
A77856Have not some, in former times, been taken away, who have been great Oppressors, and Instruments of many sore pressures?
A77856Have we not had more Fasts at Parliaments of late, than in many yeares before?
A77856Have we not prayed?
A77856He that enters into Covenant with God, is betroathed, yea even married to him: And how married?
A77856How could they hope to be delivered, when she that commanded the world detained them?
A77856I have entred into Covenant with God, as a wife with her husband; will that I am now doing, or going about, stand with my Covenant?
A77856If any think, what adoe is here?
A77856Is Ephraim my deare sonne?
A77856Is he Good in deliverances?
A77856Is it meant of every unrighteousnesse( that is in the nature of it damnable) which is to be found in the world?
A77856Is it not his own complaint, b My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge?
A77856Is this to performe Covenant with God?
A77856No?
A77856Oh what prayers, what fasting, what humiliation should we have seene ▪ But, when the snare was once broken, what followed?
A77856Say then, what wilt thou now do?
A77856Shall he be fast bound to them, and they left free to sit loose from him?
A77856Shall the prey be taken from the Mightie, or the lawfull captive delivered?
A77856They turne Covenanters?
A77856Vnto the wicked saith God, what hast thou to do to take my Covenant into thy mouth, seeing thou castest my words behind thee?
A77856What is a chiefe cause of all this?
A77856What unrighteousnesse?
A77856What use have we made of them?
A77856What was it for which Iudah, and Israel became Captives,, but the breach of the Covenant?
A77856What was the issue?
A77856What?
A77856Where is the Covenant( such a Covenant) with God, that so wonderfull a deliverance deserveth, and requireth?
A77856Where should you begin then, but where God ever begins?
A77856Whether is our Condition any what better now than heretofore, when those Leviathans were alive, and in their height?
A77856Who knowes not, that in the Masse is committed the most abominable Idolatry that ever the Sunne beheld in the Christian world?
A77856Whose heart bleeds not over this prodigious growth of Popery and over flowing of Popish Masses?
A77856Why then is Deliverance, and Reformation so slow in comming?
A77856Why, what if I doe not?
A77856Will you therefore see the thing acted, and all these promises fulfilled?
A77856Would you have this to be done, namely, that all should appeare before God in Zion, for this purpose?

A30262A Covenant with God?
A30262After all this, he and all the people entred into a solemne Covenant, and that at the time of a publique Fast?
A30262And can men that are born, and living, live safely, or at all, without continuall supply of food convenient for them?

A30262— Quis talia fando, Temperet a lachrymis?
A5204810.4,& c. Why then does it not as well belong to the Civil Magistrate?
A520482. the members confirm their love,& c. Doth the Magistrate thus?
A52048Alas, alas, is there no medium between Boniface and Morellius, between Papacy and Anarchy?
A52048Also may not godly men be true and blamable causes of great Schisme?
A52048As for that question, What way simple error or heresie should be punished?
A52048Because David a godly man falls into adultery, therefore tolerate that sin?
A52048But doth the Magistrate require no more?
A52048But if the Magistrate Tolerate those who cast off the Institutions of Christ, to what purpose doth he take care to see them executed?
A52048But is this the Order of Christ, to send out Ministers without Ordination?
A52048But what shall he do with the Episcopal mans Conscience for he is against both these, shall he compell him?
A52048But what shall the Magistrate do?
A52048But what shall the Magistrate doe, when there are such disputes about Church- Government?
A52048But will not this expose Gods people to persecution, there are so few Magistrates good, and if their Consciences be misinformed, what then?
A52048By corrupt Ministers, I doe not mean such as labour under any infirmities, for who is sufficient then?
A52048By this you may see the judgement of this solid Divine and his fears; and what sober man doth not fear the like?
A52048Do these answer the Apostles description in his Epistles to Titus and Timothy?
A52048Dr. Ames[ in his answer to that question, whither Heretics should be punished by the Civil Magistrate?]
A52048Hierom could tell us in his time, when Corruptions had overgrown the Church, Excepting Ordination what doth a Bishop that a Presbyter doth not?
A52048Honesty, that if men will be honest, the Magistrate must provide they may live peaceably?
A52048How can it be his duty to doe this, and yet his duty to Tolerate those who throw them off?
A52048How many pages have the Ministers pen filled in defence of the Magistracy against the Anabaptists?
A52048How shall he answer this Text, that his people under him may live in All godlin ● ss?
A52048If so, what he hath committed to them in this behalfe?
A52048If there be no respect due to Synods to what purpose are they called?
A52048If they can not, why do they cast off Communion with them?
A52048If we ask further concerning the power of Synods, what they may doe to Heretical Congregations?
A52048Is it not true[ who dare deny it] that the Magistrate is bound to provide that men live honestly in matters of the second table?
A52048Is the Magistrate indeed unsatisfied that he knows not which it is?
A52048May not a man that is godly[ at least seems to be so,] fall into such an errour of judgement, as neither Church nor State must tolerate?
A52048Now I come to the second question, Positively, what must they Doe?
A52048Now to what Kingdom doe Errors and Heresies belong?
A52048Pull down Antichrist?
A52048Q. Whither the Lord hath Committed to these Magistrates the Care of Religion?
A52048Secondly, What they are in relation one to another, What is it to the Church that Christ is head of the world?
A52048Sixthly, Why doth Mr. Prynne add which are Onely able to effect this work?
A52048Some errors in practise we must bear, why not then some errors in judgement?
A52048Take the moral law strictly, and lay by the fourth Commandement, what doth it differ from the law of nature?
A52048The Magistrate gives you leave to doe these, why do not the Churches do them?
A52048The second Question: What Care hath God Committed to the Magistrate in the matters of Religion?
A52048What Cause have the Church to bless God for those brave lights which have shined in our Universities?
A52048What shall become of the Nation, and Courts of Judgement?
A52048What then?
A52048What, in these points Apostatize?
A52048and What to the World that he is head over the Church, what are they better or worse?
A52048give himself up to the Synod?
A52048if there be a mystery of iniquity in the one, is there not an university of iniquity in the other?
A52048is Repentance his end he directly and firstly aymes at?
A52048now it is, who is Not sufficient for these things?
A52048these fellows had no election from the people, nor no Ordination: What is all Order thrown down?
A52048thou that abhorrest Episcopacy, dost thou commit Popery?
A52048what do these things presage?
A52048what need of him?
A52048will they not bear each with other?
A5205514. hath this saying, An Epis ● opatus inter ordines Ecclesiastic ● s ponendus sit, inter Theologos& Canonistas non convenit?
A52055And are not the French, Scottish, and Belgick Churches worthy to be counted Christian Congregations?
A52055And besides it is said, that Titus was Ordained the first Bishop,& c. And who was the second?
A52055And how will it be proved that this Angel if he had a superiority, had any more then a superiority of Order, or of Gifts and Parts?
A52055And if not; How comes it to bee subscribed, the first to Timothy, which hath relation to a second?
A52055And is it not, as it is novv asserted, become an Idoll, and like the Brazen Serpent to be ground to povvder?
A52055And is it so, doth not this Ius divinum argue a Necessitie, but only a Iustifiablenesse of this calling?
A52055And what shall we think of England, when it was an Heptarchy?
A52055And why not then the seven Angels in those Epistles?
A52055And why then should one Presbyter be over another?
A52055Are not Anicetus, Pius, Hyginus, Telesphorus, Sixtus, whom the Papists call Bishops, and the Popes predecessors, termed by Eusebius Presbyters?
A52055Are the reformed Churches of France, Scotland, Netherlands, of that Judgement?
A52055As for the names, are not the same names given unto both in Sacred Writ?
A52055But have our Bishops indeed beene so carefull, painfull, conscionable, in managing their Charges?
A52055But if we should now demand of them, what they meane by the Church of England?
A52055But novv since Episcopacy comes to be challenged as a Divine Ordinance, hovv shall vve be responsible to those Texts?
A52055But what if this be true of some Bishops in the Kingdome, is it true of all?
A52055But why should the faults of some, diffuse the blame to all?
A52055Did ever Apostolick Authority delegate power to Timothy or Titus, to ordain alone?
A52055Did ever Apostolick Authority delegate power to Timothy or Titus, to reject any after twice admonition, but an Heretick?
A52055Did ever Apostolick Authority delegate to Timothy and Titus power to receive an accusation against an Elder, but before two or three witnesses?
A52055Did ever Apostolique Authority delegate power to Timothy and Titus, to rebuke an Elder?
A52055Doth not Irenaeus use the name of Bishops and Presbyters 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, in a promiscuous sense?
A52055First, if he ask what are the bounds of this Church?
A52055Here wee demand, whether Paul when hee writ the first Epistle to Timothy, was assured he should live to write a second, which was written long after?
A52055If what Baptism?
A52055If what Christ?
A52055If what Heaven?
A52055If what meanes of Salvation?
A52055If what ● u ● harist?
A52055In the deposing of this King vvho more forvvard, then the Bishop of Hereford?
A52055In which Epistle is it said that this Angel had sole power of Ordination and Jurisdiction?
A52055Is it to edifie the Church by Word and Sacrament?
A52055Misliked Persons?
A52055Obey them that have the Rule over you?
A52055Or if the Bounds of a Kingdome must constitute the Limits and Bounds of a Church, why are not ● ngland, Scotland, and Ireland, all one Church?
A52055Should a Bishop give a Laike a Licence to preach, or to ordain, doth that Licence make him a Minister, or a Bishop?
A52055Sure all will say, no: why?
A52055That which this sacred Emperour calls the right order of Election, what is it but the Election by the people?
A52055The Homilies which are appointed to be read, are left free either to be read or not, by preaching Ministers; and why not then theLiturgy?
A52055The intolerable pride, extortion, bribery, luxury of Wolsey Archbishop of York who can be ignorant of?
A52055Thinks any, that this is my opinion, and not the opinion of the Scripture, that a Bishop and an Elder is the same?
A52055Thirdly, he saith this Government hath continued without any interruption: What doth he meane, at Rome?
A52055Though this Remonstrant braves it in his multiplied Queries What are the bounds of this Church?
A52055Was there ever such a second Bishop?
A52055We read in Scripture, of the Churches of Iudea, and the Churches of Galatia: and why not the Churches of England?
A52055We would gladly know, whether these were not, as it were, Lay- Eelders?
A52055What?
A52055Where it is said, that this Angel was a superior degree or order of Ministery above Presbyters?
A52055Whether Episcopacie be not made a place of Dignity, rather then Duty, and desired onely for the great revenues of the place?
A52055Whether that assertion, No Bishop, No King; and no Ceremonie, no Bishop; be not very prejudiciall to Kingly Authority?
A52055Whether the advancing of Episcopacie into Ius Divinum, doth not make it a thing simply unlavvfull to submit to that Government?
A52055Whether the great Apostasie of the Church of Rome hath not been, in swerving from the Discipline of Christ, as well as from the doctrine?
A52055Whether there be any difference in the point of Episcopacy betweene Ius Divinum and Ius Apostolicum?
A52055Why should the free liberty of using or not using a Liturgy, breed more confusion then the free liberty of reading or not reading Homilies?
A52055Why?
A52055Will our Bishops indeed stand to this?
A52055and are there none bu Zealous, Religious Prelates in the Kingdom?
A52055and do not our Bishops challenge power to proceed Ex Officio, and make Elders their own Accusers?
A52055and do not our Bishops challenge power to reject and eject the most sound and Orthodox of our Ministers, for refusing the use of a Ceremony?
A52055and do not our Bishops challenge that power?
A52055and onely they?
A52055and who knowes not that amongst these this Government hath met not onely with verbal but reall contradiction?
A52055and why not offending persons?
A52055are there none upon whom the guilt of that may meritoriously be charged, which others have convincingly and meritoriously opposed?
A52055are there not some that have spent their spirits in the opposition of Christ, as others have in the opposition of Antichrist?
A52055dayes there were 600 Errours in the Church; do these any wayes derogate from the truth and worth of Christian Religion?
A52055did never any Religious Minister or Professour preach, or write, or die, to uphold the truth, but a Religious Bishop?
A52055did never any uphold the truth, but a Religious Bishop?
A52055had it not then seven Churches, when seven Kings?
A52055how many?
A52055is it not more certain that Christ is God and man?
A52055is it not more certain that Christ is the only Saviour of the world?
A52055is it to ordain others to that work?
A52055is it to rule, to govern, by admonition and other censures?
A52055must this be of necessity to Salvation?
A52055must this th ● n be an Article of our Creed, the corner stone of our Religion?
A52055nor is the want of it a want of any thing of Essence, but onely of perfection?
A52055or was there ever a second?
A52055they?
A52055to governe alone?
A52055to reproach him with the most opprobrious termes of foole, knave, jack- sauce,& c. which our paper blushes to present to your Honors view?
A52055was Calvin, Beza, Iunius,& c. of that minde?
A52055what Baptisme?
A52055what Scriptures?
A52055what grounds of faith?
A52055what is it not more certain that there is a God?
A52055what meanes of Salvation other then the rest?
A52055what new Creed do they hold differenc from their Neighbours?
A52055what the distinction of the prefessours and Religion?
A52055when they are happily united under one gracious Monarch, into one Kingdom?
A52055whence then proceed these many Additions and Alterations?
A52055why not guilty persons?
A89563( saith Paul) what were you then baptized into?
A8956316. but doth it prove that his Baptisme and Prayer was all one?
A895636, 7, 8. and all experience proves the contrary; is not this as much against the one as the other?
A895638. where the Greeke word comprehends both sexes, but doth that Greeke word, where ever it is used, signifie both sexes?
A895639. as such who hold forth to us the soveraigntie of God in election and reprobation?
A89563Afterwards Augustine put off his own Baptism till he was about 30 years, and upward, and what marvaile?
A89563Alasse Sir, why doe you run into this needlesse and erroneous digression?
A89563And further I pray you tell mee, was not all done among them as much by the free election of grace, as among us?
A89563And what saith Augustine of that Epistle?
A89563And what''s the reason of his delay?
A89563And why so I pray?
A89563As for your fourth, were not the Infants of the Jews devoted to God by Circumcision, though they could not actually devote themselves?
A89563As to the thing it selfe, I answer, was not Circumcision Gods signe and seale?
A89563Bernardus non vidit omnia: why may not some things in the vast monuments of Antiquity passe unseene by you?
A89563But Sir is there not in the Text, all that are afarre off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call; and doth not that reach to all ages?
A89563But Sir, did not you formerly grant, that upon the proving of my two first Conclusions the whole cause depended?
A89563But Sir, what need all these things?
A89563But Sir, why doe you call it a little relish?
A89563But Sir, why doe you judge my heart to intend amisse, in using an expression which your self can not mislike?
A89563But did all the Fathers fore- mentioned judge and practise so?
A89563But if we Gentiles have it not, then are not wee I pray you, straitned in that particular?
A89563But is this an expresse prohibition of it?
A89563But what is your Argument from hence, Augustine held it fit to give Infants the Lords Supper, Ergo, What?
A89563But what poore exceptions are these?
A89563But what''s this to the question before us?
A89563But whereas you adde, And why also should not the Lords Supper succeed Circumcision as well as Baptisme?
A89563Did God ever say that if you will performe these and these conditions, then I will regenerate you, give you a new heart, and put my spirit within you?
A89563Doe not Tertullian, Cyprian,& c. argue from Circumcision unto Baptisme as wee now doe, and others of them from Covenant- holinesse?
A89563Doe you not thinke your Reader would smile at the vanity of these questions?
A89563Doth not this plainly hold forth, that if they were re- baptized, it was because Paul thought their former baptism to be insufficient?
A89563Epiphanius you say, sayes nothing of it in a place, which you cite: and are you sure he sayes nothing any where else?
A89563Ergo, the Lords Supper is a humane invention?
A89563First, if it had been known among them; you wonder why I finde nothing for it in Eusebius, Ignatius, Clemens Alexandrinus, Athanasius, and Epiphanius?
A89563Fourthly, what is the sense of these words, Circumcision confirmed the yoake of the Law?
A89563Have not multitudes of ours swallowed down all Arminianism, as well as they?
A89563How doe you prove that Arminius meanes the words which you cite, of Jewish Proselytes?
A89563How faine would you say somewhat which might reproach this Argument?
A89563I answer, this I wonder at, where is Circumcision compared to buriall, and wherein I pray you lyes the analogie between them?
A89563I know you will owne that expression of Augustine, Qnid agit liberum arbitrium?
A89563I reply, who ever said that this administration is the same with theirs?
A89563If Fidus did Judaize in both these, or either of them, what''s that to mee, who say he denyed not Baptisme to bee administred to Infants?
A89563If Mr. Tombes say that it is better to term them seed by calling, then seed by profession; if it bee but an outward call, where lyes the difference?
A89563If they were, how doth this distinction help you?
A89563Infants as well as growne men?
A89563Is not here then good consequence, that therefore they are to have the Seale administred to them?
A89563Martyr did not beare witnesse to the divine Nature of Christ, because hee lived before Arius started up?
A89563Now I demand of you, do not all these Authors call Baptisme a new Birth, which you would fasten onely on Feuardentius?
