A62870Then he askes me, But what real Horeticks can Mr. T. name that had holy lives?
A62870They that passe such a censure must trust much to informations, which whether they be partial or impartial, true or false who can tell?

A62870What saies Mr. B.?
A62870When he saith, why may we not write plainly against one anothers judgement by a loving consent?
A62870Whence may it seeme I would have been hardened as Pharaoh, and judged God laid his wonders as stumbling blocks?
A62870Whether Hacket or any other were as wicked, who knowes but God?
A62870Who would not tremble to hear the holy God to be accused by man, as if he led his people into evil by his wonders?
A62870Yet if I had said so, that I would say so for the time to come who can say but God?

A62877Do they affirm that all men have the light of Reason?
A62877Do they maintain that this Light is from Jesus Christ, both as the author and restorer of nature?
A62877Do they make Papists and Quakers of all where they come?
A62877Do they say that all this light( within us and without us) is to be hearkened to and obeyed?
A62877Do they say that repaired or reprived nature, may be fitly called grace?
A62877Do we not know that they which minister about holy things, live of the things of the Temple?
A62877For if they had, what need such transforming, renewing, non- conformity to the world, putting off the old man?
A62877For what fellowship hath righteousnesse with unrighteousnesse?
A62877For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the Sun?
A62877For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of a man which is in him?
A62877Had they their will against the Ministry in this Land, would it promote the Gospel, and the salvation of the people?
A62877Hath not God made foolish the wisdome of this world?
A62877Have not the Jansenists proved them so versatile in their determinations, as to make their resolutions such as might fit all humours?
A62877How can he be clean that is born of a woman?
A62877How few did he convert, that spake as never man spake?
A62877How few do they win in a whole Countrey?
A62877How many thousand remained malicious cruel enemies?
A62877How then can their light be sufficient to help them to the belief of this?
A62877How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?
A62877If it be the Papal, why do they not speak out and say so: doth jugling suit with matters of eternall life or death?
A62877In their Council of Treat but deceit?
A62877In their Iesuits and Casuists but juggling?
A62877Is it a crime to eat and be cloathed?
A62877Is that their fault?
A62877May you not discern a vain- glorious spirit, a self- seeking, proud, carnal spirit in them?
A62877Now how did that anointing teach them?
A62877O death where is thy sting?
A62877O grave where is thy victory?
A62877O what deceivers of poor souls are these?
A62877Oh how sweetly might men live, how comfortably might they dye, if they did make use of it?
A62877Or are Ministers most unworthy of their daily bread?
A62877Or is it long of wicked hearts?
A62877Shall people travell far, throng much, be at much cost to see a gracious Queen?
A62877Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, why hast thou made me thus?
A62877Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
A62877Shall we follow our own conceits which so often prove foolish, and neglect Christs doctrine which alwayes proves wise and safe?
A62877Should not our eyes and our hearts be drawn after him?
A62877Should not we magnifie the Lord Jesus as the Sun of Righteousnesse?
A62877Sould not our souls adore him?
A62877The heart is deceitfull above all things, and desperately wicked, or incurably sick, who can know it?
A62877Their reviling, but their disturbed passions, and impatience of gainfaying?
A62877Then he remembred the daies of old, Moses and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the Sea, with the shepherd of his flock?
A62877We will not venture our lives upon Mountebanks, and will we venture our souls upon deceivers?
A62877What advantage then bath the Jew?
A62877What do their censures of others shew, but a minde to extoll themselves?
A62877What is man that he should be clean?
A62877What is there in their conclave but policy?
A62877What new doctrine is this?
A62877What real comfort, or spiritual help to holiness, or heavenly directions, do they give to lead men to God, better then Christ hath done?
A62877Where is the disputer of this world?
A62877Whereas they say, the light within is sufficient, if obeyed: Our Question is, Whether it be sufficient to make men obey it?
A62877Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?
A62877Which of you convinceth me of sin?
A62877Which of you convinceth me of sin?
A62877Who would choose his dwelling on the mast of a ship, where winds, and stormes, and perpetual tossings take away all rest?
A62877Who would instruct them publikely and privately?
A62877Who would make his bed upon thornes?
A62877Why did Christ preach himself while he was on earth, if the people had all sufficient Light before?
A62877Why did he send his Apostles to preach through the world, if the people had sufficient Light before?
A62877Why did he set Pastours and Teachers in his Church, if all have a sufficient Light within them?
A62877Why did not the world believe in Christ, even generally, before his coming?
A62877Why do the Quakers go up and down teaching men their own Doctrines, if all men have sufficient Light already?
A62877Why do they cry out against us as being in darknesse, when all men have sufficient Light within them?
A62877Why then is there not long ago, a setled concord among all these?
A62877Why what man did they ever speak with, that''s a Christian, that denieth it?
A62877Will they pray for more light and grace, or not?
A62877Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro?
A62877Would any man in his wits reason thus?
A62877Your Fathers where are they?
A62877and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
A62877are all Prophets?
A62877are all Teachers?
A62877if Reason was then a sufficient Light?
A62877or what profit is there of circumcision?
A6286721. seems to triumph in this Argument, when he saith: Who then is not afraid to refuse them, who will receive Christ?
A6286737. where when the Eunuch asked Philip, What letteth me to be baptized?
A62867A barrell began to be made, why the wheel running doth a pitcher come forth?
A62867And againe, for as much as God gave them the like gift, as he did unto us, what was I that I could withstand God?
A62867And doth not 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 comprehend both Sexes?
A62867And if so, here is an expresse example in formall terms for womens receiving the Lords Supper?
A62867And why may not b ● a like allusion, uncleane be put for bastards, and holy for legitimate?
A62867Are all borne of those parents whereof one is not sanctified in the other begotten in the monethly courses?
A62867Are all borne of those parents whereof one is not sanctified in the other, without the Covenant of grace?
A62867B ● sides, are not sanctification, and cleannesse, and honour, all one in these passages?
A62867BVt what benefit comes to children by such kinde of sealing as this is?
A62867Besides, must children be baptized, because they are capable of Grace?
A62867But I pray you, whose Glosse was this?
A62867But are any other among men covenanters, but the elect who are purchased by the blood of the everlasting covenant?
A62867But are we not borne againe by the Word, and must that be but once preached?
A62867But doth he seeme onely to restraine it to the case of necessity?
A62867But have not the like, if not the same things happened in other matters?
A62867But how knowes Mr. Vines this?
A62867But this is bu ● a shift; for why may not an unbeliever he said, as w ● ll to possesse his vess ● ll in holines, is to be sanctified?
A62867But what is all this to prove your Minor, which is not of potentiall having inward grace, which is not denied, but of actuall having?
A62867But what is this instance to your purpose?
A62867But what saith the supposed Origen?
A62867But what then?
A62867But where is the command that he must be baptized first?
A62867But you say, it binds us virtually only to seale ours with the signe of Baptisme; I pray you then what meane you by this virtuall binding?
A62867Can any forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the holy Ghost as well as wee?
A62867Cernimus, an qui amant ipsi sibi somnia fingunt?
A62867Could every one of them promise that Christ should be borne of his flesh?
A62867De ceremoniali illa sanctitate quid dicam?
A62867De faederali illa sanctitate quid dicam?
A62867Did not divisions and other miscarriages and persecutions, bring the Non- conformists of England as low as the Anabaptists?
A62867Did not some of them grow a dangerous and turbul ● nt Sect?
A62867Did not the like troubles happen in Q. Elizabeths dayes in seeking to remove Episcopacy& Ceremonies?
A62867Doe fornicating or unbelieving parents never beget children that shall be within the Cov ● nant of grace, or federally holy?
A62867Doe unbelieving husbands never use their wives but in their monethly courses?
A62867Doe we see?
A62867Doth it follow, that every one that was circumcised, was in the Covenant of Grace?
A62867For could every man in Covenant challenge these things at Gods hand, and that by vertue of the Covenant?
A62867For if we may doe it in one thing, why not in a nother?
A62867For to what end serves this your Narration of your adversaries, but to beget an Odium, hatred or prejudice at least in your Auditors?
A62867For what if that never be?
A62867For what?
A62867Hast thou kept the Lords day?
A62867Hath God cast away his people?
A62867Having sayd what heresie ever came abroade, without Verbum Domini in the mouth of it?
A62867How shall a minister do when he can not come to the knowledge of it?
A62867I delivered unto you that which I received from the Lord, was not that a command, and that to the whole Church, women as well as men?
A62867I do believe: Dost thou renounce?
A62867I may apply to you the words of Horace, Amphora coepit institui, currente rota cur ● ● recus exit?
A62867I pray you then tell me, wherein you make their condition different?
A62867I reply, Have none of the adversaries of the Anabaptists undermined Magistracy?
A62867If it be said, it is a believing nation, when the greatest part are Believers, how shall that be known?
A62867Imò ve ● ò nisi priùs docuisset in quem finem baptizaret, quis tandem ad ejus baptismum accessisset?
A62867Infants are not to be baptized, because that which is not in so many words commanded in the new Testament, ought not to be done?
A62867Is it a religious end and use, to refresh them who are the temples of the Holy Ghost?
A62867Is not sinne mortified, the Church sanctified by baptisme, and are not these often?
A62867Is there a command or institution of God, binding the Jews to call Circumcision so?
A62867Is there any argument or proofe in this?
A62867Is this then your meaning, that it doth not binde expresly and in terminis, but virtually, that is, implicitely, and by Interpretation?
A62867Know you not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death?
A62867No expresse Law against polygamie; no expresse command for the celebration of a weekely Sabbath; are therefore Christians free in all these c ● ses?
A62867Now then who are they on whom God should bestow faith and regeneration, but Gods Elect?
A62867Now what kinde of quiet would this have given them, to tell them that their children were not bastards?
A62867Nunquamne Infideles utuntur uxoribus nisi menstruatis?
A62867Of that Covenant- holinesse what shall I say?
A62867Of that ceremoniall holinesse what shall I say?
A62867Omnesne nati ex ijs parentibus quorum alter non santificatur in altero geniti sunt in menstruis?
A62867Omnesno nati ex ijs parentibus quorū alter non sanctificatur in altero sunt extra foedus gratiae?
A62867Or, what discomfort in truth, do they give them, which you do not?
A62867Quid enim?
A62867Quid ergo?
A62867The believing wife may with a good conscience keep company with the unbelieving husband( for why should anothers conscience defile her?)
A62867True, but whose consequence is this?
A62867We being many, are one bread, and one body; for we are all partakers of that one bread, and are not women as well of the body as men?
A62867What comfort then doe you give them indeed which the Antipaedobap ● ists doe not give as well as you?
A62867What doth the most grown man in any of these, more then an Infant may do?
A62867What say you to these things?
A62867What strength of reason is in this?
A62867What then?
A62867What then?
A62867When John did say, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand, did he not teach those whom he was about to baptize?
A62867Who will not baptize them, that is willing to baptize disciples in the name of Christ?
A62867Why did not the Apostles so, nor any other Ministers to this day?
A62867Why tempt ye God to put a yoak upon the necks of the Disciples?
A62867children, or Samuels stood before God in Mr. Cottons sense?
A62867cum diceret Joannes, Poenitentiam agite, appropinquat enim regnum coelorum, non docebat quos erat baptizaturus?
A62867how strange?
A62867how strange?
A62867or a command or institution for us by vertue of the command to the Jews to call it so?
A62867or doe they that love, faine dreames to themselves?
A62867or every one of their women that shee should be the mother of Christ?
A62867quam aliena?
A62867quam aliena?
A62867that Marriage is honourable among all,( even Infidels) and the bed und ● filed?
A62867that she may be holy in body, is it not meant, that she may be chaste?
A62867was not the practise of Hacket and his companions like that of Iohn a Leyden at Munster?
A62867where shall we stay?
A62867which is, saith he, every way parallel, and answers in either of the branches?
A62867yea verily, unlesse he had first taught to what end he did baptize, who at last would hav ● come to his baptisme?
A94737( or the Protestants?)
A947372. that the Messias ● hould ● hould be born at Be ● hlehem, without the Churches infallibility?
A9473736. saying, Who made me a Judge over you?
A9473740. such an absolute dominion is given him, that though he should draw innumerable souls with him to Hell, no man must say to him, Why dost thou so?
A9473757. yea, and why even of your selves judge ye not what is right?
A947377. who maketh thee to differ from another?
A947378. the having of ready Scribes counted a happiness to the Jews?
A94737Acts 8. or any other Chapter in the Bible, unless the Church, that is the Pope, tell them?
A94737And is it possible for these men than to know any thing?
A94737And to this insolent demand, where was your Church before Luther?
A94737And we have cause to press them as in the next Objection, Why do not then your Priests do Miracles?
A94737And why was nothing done to Paul Form?
A94737Are all teachers?
A94737Are all the visible men in the congregation, which is the Church, men preaching, baptizing, and converting Nations?
A94737Are not Women part of the congregation, which is the Church?
A94737Are not the ninth and tenth ages since Christ counted unhappy for want of learned Writers?
A94737Are not therefore Students encouraged, and they that search Libraries the men that discover truth to the World?
A94737Are the contrary tenents any of the Articles, which in his Manual of Controversies H. T. defends against the Protestants?
A94737Are they any more a living Judge than the Scripture?
A94737But how doth he prove his Minor?
A94737But if this be the fashion of their Councils who can tell when one decree is contrary to another if these were not?
A94737But is not this a mockery to say the Church may not do it, and yet they do it, and H. T. avoucheth it?
A94737But might there not be Protestant Saints which he hears not of?
A94737But was ever such language used by any Apostle or Ancient to term the Church of Rome any other than the believers dwelling or being at Rome?
A94737But what Church is there that so resolves her Faith?
A94737But what a notorious falshood is this?
A94737But what did this Council define?
A94737But what do the Councils in these two Ages say for H. T. his Minor?
A94737Can any Image of Christ teach these?
A94737Did the Church perish( saith St. Augustine to the Donatists, or did she not?
A94737Did they first consult the Church, or the Church them?
A94737Did they gather their Expositions out of Popes Decrees, Canons of Councils, or examine them by them?
A94737Do not men complain of the Darkness of Times for want of Books?
A94737Do not men more credit eys than ears?
A94737Do not their very Breves, and Monitories, and Decrees, shew that it is a private spirit they act and decide by?
A94737Do not they know that such an attempt would be but an exposing of Popes and Councils to contempt, and make their Canon Law appear ● idiculous?
A94737Do they preach and baptize?
A94737Doth a church persecuted and drive ● out of a place cease to be a church, because they and their successors are removed out of their dwellings?
A94737Fed on Ashes, having a deceived heart that turneth him aside, so as that he can not say, Is there not a Lie in my right hand?
A94737For is the Church a congregation of visible men preaching, baptizing, and converting Nations?
A94737For what doth he acknowlege to be a point approved, and such as we are bound to believe by this mark?
A94737For what is that salutation or honorary worship, H. T. saith the second council of Nice allows to Images?
A94737For why do these private men take so much pains to publish Commentaries?
A94737Have the Popes any better means to expound Scripture by than the Fathers?
A94737Have they any more than a private spirit?
A94737He lies without sense in the Monument, and his words are in force, Christ sits in Heaven, and is his Testament contradicted?
A94737He speaks in a particular case in which nothing had been defined by the Church, namely whether God could be seen with corporal eyes?
A94737He will not make it an universal whole which is predicate or said on more churches, in quid, that is, when the question is what the more churches are?
A94737How can a church of one denomination be universal?
A94737How shall they believe in whom they have not heard?
A94737I reply, Doth H. T. think the Book is not now to be seen to detect his falsity?
A94737If any say, How then hath Peter something singular ascribed to him?
A94737If any were asked who is in his wits, What is the church of Naples?
A94737If he write, is it not that we may read, and will he have us read and not judge, and can we judge without humane reason?
A94737If she did not, what madness moved you to separate your selves from her, on pretence of avoiding the communion of bad men?
A94737If she did, what Church brought forth the Donatists?
A94737If that Council did not define Arianism, how were they deluded?
A94737If they have a publick spirit, why do not the Popes make us an Exposition of Scripture, which all must own?
A94737Is it not a thing for which Ptolomaeus Philadelphus was renowned, that he stored the Library at Alexandria in Egypt with Books?
A94737Is it that I might enervate or reprehend the Popes Decree?
A94737Is not their spirit as much private, as Calvin''s, Beza''s, Luther''s, and others, and these mens spirit as publick as theirs?
A94737Is the Scripture any more a dead Letter than the Popes Breves or Trent Canons?
A94737Is there any thing the Popes can do more necessary than this, that they may end all controversies, and guide all souls aright?
A94737Let us read, why do we contend?
A94737May not a man have Faith and Salvation in a Wilderness where he knows of no church?
A94737Now what doth he answer?
A94737One Mystery sure is the Holy Ghost''s overshadowing the Virgin Mary, another the Union of the two Natures?
A94737Open, let us read, we are Brethren, why do we contend?
A94737Or that the Memorials of these things are lost, who goes about to excuse Mariana or the Order of Jesuits in this manner?
A94737Or the British Antiquities by the Songs of Bardes than by Julius Caesar''s Commentaries, Tacitus, and other Historians Writings?
A94737Or who that reades Authours of those and other Ages does not perceive in those Epistles the style and terms of far later Ages?
A94737Pope Damasus I believe had more help from Hierome to expound Scripture by, than Hierome from D ● m ● sus?
A94737Suppose the place wasted and destroyed, shall that destroy the being of the church which was there before?
A94737The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
A94737The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ?
A94737There is no better way to decide Controversies than by the Scripture expounded by the Church, and according to the Rule of Apostolical Tradition?
A94737Was not this the great unhappiness that came into the West by the Inundations of barbarous Nations in that they spoiled Libraries?
A94737Was she an universal Bishop also?
A94737We are brethren, why do we strive?
A94737Were the things done before the Flood or since better preserved by oral Tradition than by Moses Writing?
A94737Were the things done before the Wars of Troy better preserved thereby than these Wars by Homer''s Poems?
A94737What can the sign of the Cross teach, but that there was such a kinde of punishment to put men to Death?
A94737What if men would not persevere?
A94737What should the Father of the Church do?
A94737What think you of Pope Joan?
A94737What?
A94737Where is it so plainly forbidden to adore Christ in what place soever we believe him to be really present, as it is to work upon the Saturday?
A94737Who ever heard of a Protestant Pope?
A94737Who would not think that man crazed that should talk or write so?
A94737Why did Cajetan, Arias Montanus, the R ● emists, and many more translate and expound according to the Letter?
A94737Why doth not the Pope forbid them to expound till they have consulted him?
A94737Why may not the Donatists, the Novatians, or the Greeks,( much more) do so as well as Papists?
A94737Why should not the Popes expositions be rejected as well as others?
A94737Why strivest thou?
A94737Will H. T. be more unbelieving than a Jew who acknowledgeth the Books of Moses, the Psalms, and Prophets, to be Gods Word?
A94737Will H. T. say Barnabas was more worthy than Paul?
A94737Will H. T. say she was below them in power and dignity?
A94737Will any call a mother of twenty children all her twenty children?
A94737Will he make every Priest, or Legate, or Register of the Pope to be infallible?
A94737Will ● e permi ● them to teach that of which they have no infallible assurance?
A94737Wit not Printing a great Benefit to the World?
A94737Would he say, It is the church of Rome?
A94737Would not such men as these secretly disdain and smile in scorn, if any should prefer any of the best Expo ● itions of Popes before their own?
A94737Yet were it yielded that Peter was Bishop or chief Pastour, how will it be proved that he was to have a Successour?
A94737Yet were these things granted to H. T. that the Roman church were Mother and Head, is this a fit reason to term it catholick?
A94737and how shall they hear without a Preacher?
A94737and what hast thou that thou didst not receive?
A94737c. 6. reject it, and Bellarmin reckon it among the reprobate councils, if it were not Arian?
A94737do not we count them great Benefactours who build and preserve Libraries?
A94737do the Protestant churches in their confessions avow the same, which he here saith the council ascribed to Waldensis the Merchant of Lyons?
A94737how then?
A94737now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory as if thou hadst not received it?
A94737or any controversie between us and them to be decided?
A94737or more than they love me?
A94737or the Fathers than other learned men in these days?
A94737or who can tell when a decree is approved by a Pope if neither of these were?
A94737what need they lament or renounce the fact if it were not so?
A94737where''s the agreement?
A94737where''s the infallibility they so vainly arrogate to their Church?
A94737wherein was the fraud but in that the words being of double sense, yet indeed decreed Arian doctrine?
A94737why doth Austin l. 3. contra Maximinum c. 14. oppose that council to that of Nice, and Maximinus allege it for himself if it did not decree Arianism?
A94737would he have us go to a council approved by the Pope to know whether his arguments be good?
A62861& c. But to whom is it apparent?
A62861& c. teaching that infants of believers are ordinarily holy, and admitted into the Kingdom of Heaven, though dying unbaptized?
A62861( saith he) what ridiculous arguing is this?
A6286110. why tempt ye God to put a yoke on the neck of the disciples, which neither our Fathers nor we were able to bear?
A6286115. that all Idolaters shall be without?
A6286116. the expression 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, For how knowest thou?
A6286119. they were to proceed according to the Commission about circumcising?
A628612. propounded this as a Catechism question to certain Disciples at Ephesus, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?
A6286122, 23,& c. What is that which he saith appears?
A6286127. will ye be his disciples?
A6286135. were not the parents reputed in Gods account baptized because the children were against it?
A6286141.?
A6286174 asks who those be?
A6286176?
A628618. good, after other arguments against non- residence?
A62861All the creatures in the world may be Emblems of some good; and must they therefore permit the bringing of all to Christ?
A62861And could they know of Christs private intents and designs?
A62861And do you not see it fulfilled before your eys?
A62861And have they onely a right to this relation?
A62861And how could it be their fault to hinder people from bringing infants to Christ, if they might not know that they ought to be admitted?
A62861And if all of them be abrogated, how can it be true that the law about circumcising Infants still binds?
A62861And if you open this Gap, what a multitude of fopperies will rush in?
A62861And is it not then to tautologize to say, when it pleased God, that I should preach the Son of God to others that I might preach the Gospel?
A62861And is not here enough to satisfie us yet, that he doth not cast all infants in the world out of his visible Kingdom or Church?
A62861And is not that to give them the relation it self?
A62861And should it not be so in baptism also?
A62861And that I meant other humble ones, and not these?
A62861And that the method of preaching to us Gentiles must be fetch out of this place?
A62861And to his question, Are infants the Kings Subjects or servants in a passive sense onely?
A62861And to say that God commands Sacraments to seal the Covenant, what is this but to say that God commands himself?
A62861And was it not them that he bid should be suffered to come( that is to be brought) and was it not them that he blessed?
A62861And what a multitude of Ceremonies will this admit into the Church, to the burthening of mens consciences, and the polluting of Gods worship?
A62861And what if they can not at first learn to know Christ?
A62861And what was that yoke?
A62861And when a man hired a Philosopher to teach him and all his children, were they not all then Disciples of that Philosopher?
A62861And whom would they have perswaded thus to be circumcised?
A62861And why doth not Mr. Sidenham take the whole nation into a Church, when the whole nation was taken in formerly in Abrahams posterity?
A62861And why not by smiles, and kisses and whipping?
A62861And why not then to servants, and wives, and friends?
A62861And will he say that the Parents are onely passive servants?
A62861And yet dare you boast so confidently of your prepared confutation?
A62861Are Infants the Kings Subjects or Servants in a passive sense onely?
A62861Are not they of the houshold?
A62861Are the Heavens Gods servants, because he brought them out of Egypt, and separated them to himself as a peculiar People?
A62861Are the Heavens onely passive servants of God?
A62861As for Dr. Homes his question, Is any Anabaptist sure there were no infants in these families?
A62861As for Mr. Ms. frivolous question, Were not the infants of the Jews devoted to God by Circumcision, though they could not actually devote themselves?
A62861As for the question may they not be so called as destinated to his service for the future?
A62861Besides this contingent event here was uncertain as appears v. 16. what knowest thou?
A62861Besides, what sense is there in these words[ some of the nations of the heathen]?
A62861But at what age they are to be admitted members?
A62861But dare Mr. M. in good earnest say that John Baptist did admit persons to Baptism that were not in a state of repentance?
A62861But he adds, And doth not this plainly tell us, that the parents faith is the condition?
A62861But is this an express prohibition of it?
A62861But saith he, How have the believing Jews lost this privilege or Proselytes of the Gentiles?
A62861But saith he, or is it not evidently reducible to one of the former?
A62861But was Mr. T. of this minde when he wrote these words?
A62861But what kindness had this been to a little childe in age as an infant, that travayls not?
A62861But what saith Mr. T. against this?
A62861But what then?
A62861But where doth Mr. B. find this admission so fully determined in the old Testament?
A62861Can preaching the Gospel be fitly sayd to be the end or consequent of preaching the Son of God which is all one with preaching the Gospel?
A62861Did Mr. Blake?
A62861Did ever any wise man command to men that man should be a reasonable living body, or whitenesse a visible quality, or fatherhood a relation?
A62861Did he take any but infants into his arms?
A62861Did you over hear me talk of such a thing?
A62861Do not you care to smite through Christianity, so you may bring down infant- baptism?
A62861Doth he think they that deny infants to be Disciples allow brutes to be Disciples?
A62861Doth it follow that they are servants in the same sense, when the action is so unlike?
A62861Doth not Christ say, The Angel of the Church of Pergamus dwelt where Satans throne was?
A62861Doth not God bid his Apostles baptize those that were Disciples without distinguishing?
A62861Doth not God call them his servants himself?
A62861Esau was the childe of Isaac a believer, Ishmael of Abraham, yet neither entered into the Covenant of grace, neither justified by the parents faith?
A62861For how can that make a binding rule to us about another meer positive Rite without any other Institution, which it self is abrogated?
A62861For what do Papists persecute us for else, but because we reject their justification by works?
A62861For what is it to put Doctrine on any but to Teach him?
A62861For what is it to reveal his Son by him or through him to others, but to preach the Gospel to them?
A62861For what is the receiving?
A62861For what knowest thou O Wife whether thou shalt save thy Husband?
A62861For would Christ have blessed so a Sheep or Dove?
A62861Hath he a good wit now or a bad minde, that can raise a dust for the darkning of so express and plain a Text?
A62861How did the Disciples hinder Christs design?
A62861How doth Mr. Blake prove that it was called The Land of Immanuel, because the whole of the nation was in Covenant?
A62861How i ● one made a disciple, but by conversion?
A62861How silent is the N. T. concerning Christian magistracy?
A62861How silent is the New Testament concerning a Christian Magistracy?
A62861I demand of Mr. T. whether the Apostle speaks in the person of Christians or in the person of women?
A62861I might easily do) that the Heavens are Gods servants actively, and Christ also is called his servant actively?
A62861If Mr. B. should prove in like manner infants to be believers, what need the respondent shew any other cause than this, that they have not faith?
A62861If any ask whether a national covenant or a covenant of parents for children be now allowable?
A62861If it was to be so at first gathering of churches, why did not those in New England observe it then when they first gathered their churches?
A62861If par ratio will not serve turn to prove an ordinance of Christ, or at least to warrant a practice, how will our brethren prove baptizing of infants?
A62861If the parent be not a believer, the childe is left out: And what other condition can be imagined?
A62861If this were no fault in them, why should Christ be displeased, and much displeased at it?
A62861Is it not God that giveth them right to this relation?
A62861Is it not common to call the whole nation of the Turks both old and young by the name of Mahometans, or Disciples of Mahomet?
A62861Is it not enough that it was expresly decreed against, v. 24.?
A62861Is it the Commission of circumcising Gen. 17?
A62861Is it the same use that God maketh of both?
A62861Is it therefore in the same sense?
A62861Is not this the door that the body of Popish trash came in at?
A62861Is not this to make the same act and the same persons not the same, which is a contradiction?
A62861Is that good Philosophy?
A62861It is somewhat indeed that they can learn to kiss the mother, stroke her breasts,& c. but what''s this to make them Disciples of Christ?
A62861May I not make this a third Argument of it self?
A62861May I not take up the Poets words, Tantaene animis coelestibus irae?
A62861Mr. B. goeth on thus, So that if you ask me, whether it be certain or onely probable, that infants are members of the visible Church?
A62861Mr. B. himself, when in the next words[ And whom would they perswade to be circumcised?]
A62861Mr. M. himself paraphaseth thus, will ye be his disciples, will ye profess him?
A62861Must these usages of theirs be a patern to Christians?
A62861Must you not be compelled to go by a consequence to bring it in, which is ab I contend for?
A62861Now I demand of this pretended interpretation, whether it be possible Saint Pauls argument should conclude in this sense?
A62861Now is any man so sensless as to think they did these things to infants?
A62861Or how knowest thou O Husband whether thou shalt save thy Wife?
A62861Or how knowest thou O man whether thou shalt save thy Wife?
A62861Philip resolved the Eunuch demanding, What hindereth me to be baptised?
A62861Quis enim credat?
A62861Sacramentum institui et Ceremoniam non determinari?
A62861Saith Mr. B. Doth Christ say, To such as them in this or that respect onely, and not to them,( or saith he) not in general, To such?
A62861Saith Mr. B. Hath not God prevented all these Cavils by joyning Parents and Children together in the same title?
A62861Saith he, And where Mr. T. saith, It was not from any knowledg they had of their present visible title; I answer, Who said it was?
A62861Saith he, What if the Earth and Infants were both called Gods Servants onely in a passive sense, because God maketh use of them?
A62861Shall we say it were in no other sense than the Earth is so called?
A62861T is true, the main question is, whether infants are to be baptized?
A62861The main question is not, by what sign members are to be admitted into the Church?
A62861The second rule( he saies) overthrows all, for if we may not rest solely on the analogy, why at all?
A62861The third likewise saith he, is uncertain and vain; For how shall we know when the analogy holds full proportion?
A62861The unbelieving Husband hath been sanctified in the Wife, thus, For what knowest thou O Wife whether thou shalt save thy Husband?
A62861They are thy Servants; Are they therefore Disciples?
A62861To w th he replies in his Praefestinantis morator, What not yet?
A62861To what he saith, Will you allow of such an argument for infant- baptism as Christ brings for the Resurrection?
A62861To which I answer no, but what then?
A62861To which I replied, As if Gods dictum were not factum: if they were not cast out, why doth the Apostle allege that Text?
A62861Was it any other than the discovery of his mercy to the species of infants, and to those among others?
A62861Was it not plainly them that he did bid them receive( in the former Chapter) and was it not them that he would not have to be kept from him?
A62861Were ye baptized into the name of Paul?
A62861What Design was it that Christ had in hand?
A62861What are the heathen but the nations?
A62861What doth Mr. B. mean by this?
A62861What if Christ were called Gods servant for his suffering?
A62861What need any man assigne any cause at all why infants are not Disciples, but because the term[ Disciple] agrees not to them?
A62861What reason can he give why they may not be called Disciples in a passive sense as well as servants?
A62861Where find you a Christian in the New Testament that exercised the place of a king, a Parliament man, or Justice of Peace, or the like?
A62861Where is that distinction in the command?
A62861Whereto I reply, he may as well deny the Snow to be white, as deny it: Can any put Doctrine but on Persons that can be taught?
A62861Who dare say that this Synod did not decree against Circumcision and keeping the Law?
A62861Who dare say that this Synod did not decree against the command, doctrine, obligation, necessity, opinion of Circumcision, and and keeping the Law?
A62861Who dare think that the word[ to such] is not rather inclusive as to them than exclusive?
A62861Who denies it?
A62861Why doth he gather his Church with such choice distinguishing some from others?
A62861Why may they not be called Servants from the meer interest of Dominion that God hath to them?
A62861Will Mr. B. charge the Spirit of God with needless committing so many histories, sayings of Christ& c. to writing, because they were written before?
A62861Will any say that it was not infants in the former Text and this that Christ speaks of?
A62861Would Iohn admit manifest impenitents?
A62861Yea from manna and the rock to the Lords Table?
A62861Yea, if the analogy direct in the nature, use and extent of an instituted worship, what doth it else but make a new worship?
A62861and authority over them?
A62861and that they were not reputed of God to be baptized, because there is no mention of their childrens baptism?
A62861and the Argument that hardneth them in it, and hindereth their reformation to this day?
A62861and when is a man converted, but when he is brought to believe?
A62861and when, either sleeping or waking?
A62861and why?
A62861and why?
A62861and yet still call for Scripture proof?
A62861but because there was enough said of them in the old?
A62861but that it is his will they should be admitted?
A62861by calling on the name of the Lord, which is a work of their own: Do they therein turn the name of the glorious God into a Creature?
A62861even to such as he took in his arms and blessed?
A62861implies, thou canst not tell whether thou shalt save thy husband?
A62861nor the uncircumcised males in the wilderness?
A62861now this is as fully determined in the old Testament, as most things in the Bible, and therefore what need any more?
A62861now who were these disciples?
A62861or are they blessed of Christ, and yet not so much as visible members of his Church?
A62861or by what Emblem he would teach them?
A62861or doth he bid them baptize active Disciples, but not passive ones?
A62861or else how could it be a reason for releasing them in the year of Jubilee any more than for releasing any other?
A62861or if there must be more: may they not be called so, as being destinated to his service for the future?
A62861or others shewing; I asked once a Preacher at Bewdley where it was?
A62861or upon what terms he dealeth with them for life or death?
A62861or when he would do it?
A62861or whether by a sign or without?
A62861so of an oath before a Magistrate, of war, of the Sabbath,& c. how sparing is the new Testament?
A62861so of an oath before a Magistrate, of war, of the Sabbath,& c. how sparing is the new Testament?
A62861the Doctrine of Church- discipline, Church- officers, Church- goverment,& c. what shall we call o ● count strong meat?
A62861the same thing to be done twice, except men had questioned the authority of the old?
A62861the whole Scripture is the perfect word and law of God;& if he should reveal all his mind in one part, what use should we make of the other?
A62861what more should a man expect to warrant him to do so?
A62861when is the proportion full?
A62861when nothing can be fairly brought against the one, but may be also concluded on the other?
A62861when the use and sufferings are so unlike?
A62861where is the old Commission that we must understand this by, so as to proceed the way to the Gentiles that was taken among the Jewes?
A62861who then or what hindreth them from possessing the relation which they have right to?
A62861yet can you find no law that made women Church- members?
A62876& c. Are not, as was said, the children of them all admitted to the Font, and they themselves to the Lords Table?
A62876( Apella likely) Are these likely motives to perswade or enforce a ● y thereunto?
A62876( and this is the record of John, when the Jews sent Priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, Who art thou?
A628764, Hast thou as much communion with God as thou desirest?
A6287696. p. 528. saith, Quid postulat secundum praeceptum?
A62876And Jesus when he saw much people, was moved with compassion towards them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd( what?
A62876And how shall they preach except they be sent?
A62876And if so, may it not be said, Ye your selves are the seal of their Ministry in the Lord?
A62876And to his question, Where are the souls that are converted, comforted, strengthened, stablished, that are waiting at the doors of their house?
A62876And what can we say to all these things?
A62876And what prudent housholder will permit the figure or quantity of his house, to the arbitrement, and will of others?
A62876Are any too vile( except such as truly fear God ▪ and desire to press after holiness) to be admitted by them into their Communion?
A62876Are not all their dear Brethren and Sisters, living and dead, though Drunkards, Swearers, Adulterers, and Adulteresses?
A62876Are not he, and all others, specially of his way of separation, most apt to magifie those who jump with him in his way; and to disparage dissenters?
A62876Are not the sincere Lambs of Christ oftentimes carried away with false shews, and partial affections, and wrong reports?
A62876Are there not many persons and places of peculiar and exempt Jurisdiction?
A62876Are they Pastors or Teachers?
A62876Are they Prophets?
A62876Are they in the practice of the Primitive Church, or of the Reformed Churches of this day in this matter?
A62876Art sure that God, and Christ, and Eternal Glory, are thy portion and inheritance?
A62876Art thou altogether ready trimmed( without more ado) for the coming and Kingdom of Christ Jesus?
A62876Art thou sufficiently acquainted with thine own heart?
A62876As for the demand, where are the Churches, where are the particular persons converted by them?
A62876As for the second particular, That hereby poor souls are hardned in a false way of worship, what can be thought less?
A62876But granting it to be a Precept, is it a Precept to the Apostles only, or to others?
A62876But how comes this to be an Order, Ordinance, Institution of the house of Christ appointed by himself?
A62876But how proves he the power for electing their own Officers delegated solely to a particular Instituted Church of Christ?
A62876But in what sense do they pretend to be the Apostles Successors?
A62876But let it imply a Precept to us; Do not the present Ministers of England conform to it?
A62876But our Ministers are removed, and we know not where to go to hear; would you have us sit at home idle?
A62876But the term of Pastors and Teachers, is challenged by Bishops: and what saith he against it?
A62876But there are some good men amongst them, and such as belong to God, may we not hear good men?
A62876But what if there were an embracing a Toleration, if granted?
A62876But what meaneth the bleating of the Sheep, and lowing of the Oxen in our ears?
A62876But what saith he of the rest?
A62876But what then?
A62876But where find they any National Church of the Institution of Christ, in the Oeconomie of the Gospel?
A62876But who, I pray, are these disorderly Walkers?
A62876But who, I pray, are these disorderly walkers?
A62876But why not in Office?
A62876But, how doth the Hearing the present Ministers tend to it?
A62876Canon Ecclesiastical ▪ Are any of these Ordinances and Constitutions of the appointment of Christ?
A62876Credat Apelles?
A62876Did any of them say so, or count it to be so?
A62876Did he then shut out of doors, as unnecessary, the gift of Prophecy?
A62876Did the Apostles ordain any as their Successors therein in any of the Churches of Christ?
A62876Did the woman in her flight into the Wilderness carry it along with her?
A62876Do all great as well as small, rich and poor, free and bond receive such a mark?
A62876Do not even the Ministers of England the same?
A62876Do not the most able Preachers sometimes omit the exercise of their gifts, and yet count not them shut out of doors, as unnecessary?
A62876Do the present Ministers of England conform unto this Institution of Christ?
A62876Do the present Ministers of England conform unto this great Institution?
A62876Do they at all value or esteem of it?
A62876Do they succeed them as Christians?
A62876Do they succeed them in respect to their Off ● ice?
A62876Do you look upon your going to hear, as your duty, or meerly as your liberty?
A62876Dost know so much of thy self as thou needest to know?
A62876Ergo si aliud Imperator& aliud Deus quid judicatis?
A62876For Surplice, Crossing in Baptism, and many other Gewgaws used by them?
A62876For what are we to think otherwise when we read such passages as these: the verity of his minor proposition shines forth as the Sun in his brightness?
A62876From how many have they gone a whoring?
A62876Hast heard as often from him by the tea ● hings of the Spirit( the incomparably and infinitely best teacher) as thou dost wish?
A62876Hast thou no sin to be mortified, no want to be supplyed, no grace to be quickned and strengthned in thee?
A62876Have not many, especially in cases of necessity, been Ministers of Christ by immediate inward call, who have not wrought Miracles?
A62876Have they any such Call to the Ministry?
A62876Have they not an equal respect to this appointment of Christ, as to those before instanced in?
A62876How do they therein proclaim their shame, and yield the matter in Controversie?
A62876How doth it appear that men raising them, whether Princes or Patrons are men of such spirits and principles?
A62876How doth it appear that to come out of the Earth is to be raised by men of earthly spirits and principles?
A62876How is it possible for this Author, or any other, to number them, compare, weigh them in an upright ballance?
A62876How lubricous and uncertain is that their Succession?
A62876How prove they that the Church of England is so?
A62876I answer by another Question, Which of them have they so made void?
A62876I ask, are these things the sin and evil of th ● se men, or are they not?
A62876If they are not, Why did not our preaching Brethren receive the Ordination from the Bish ● ps these received?
A62876If they judge it their duty to meet together distinct from the world and it''s worshippers, why run they thereunto?
A62876If thou dost not, are not these worthy of thy utmost diligence to get assurance of?
A62876In answer to the Question, Whether there be any National Church under the Oeconomy of the Gospel?
A62876Is not our so doing, a secret consenting with them, and encouraging of them in their evil deeds?
A62876Is not the childrens meat frequently given unto Dogs, and the holy Ordinances prostituted to be polluted by the worst of men?
A62876Is not the liberty of the Brethren and Churches of Christ, as much as lies in them, wholly disanulled and broken by them?
A62876Is not their Church- state( so unlike is it to the Institution of Christ) a very Babel, a Den of Dragons, and Hold of unclean Beasts?
A62876Is not this to blow hot and cold with the same breath?
A62876Is there any thing like it almost practised by them, in this great concern of separating persons for the Preaching of the Gospel of Christ?
A62876Is this to discharge those duties incumbent upon us( if we indeed look upon them as Brethren) for their reclaiming?
A62876Lord to whom shall we go?
A62876Majorem certe noli offendere — quis est inquies major eo qui me genuit?
A62876Mark 16.15?
A62876Matth, 23.37?
A62876May it not be said to themselves, Where are the souls that are converted, comforted, strengthened, stablished by your Ministry?
A62876May not those be more carnal, yea very hypocrites, which he counts spiritual Saints?
A62876O how many millions of souls are and have been thereby hardened to their own undoing, and their hands strengthned in wickedness?
A62876Or judgest thou this to be a work that requires not thy utmost diligence and attendance?
A62876Quid enim times ne offendas majorem?
A62876Quis ergo nisi infidelis negaverit fuisse apud inferos Christum?
A62876Rursum si aliquid ipse Proconsul jubeat,& aliud jubeat Imperator, numquid dubitatur in illo contemptu illi esse serviendum?
A62876Saith our Author, whether the priviledges of Saints, be not every way as great and extensive under the Gospel, as those under the Law?
A62876So that, ● f their prayers be naught and polluted, their Preaching be not so too?
A62876Solve tributum, est mihi in obsequio recte ▪ Sed non in Idolio, in Idolio prohibet, quis prohibet?
A62876The Ministers of England preach truth, and is it not lawfull to hear truth preached?
A62876The Popish Priests preach truth, yet who will say''t is lawfull to attend upon their Ministry?
A62876The command to do what they bid implies a permission to hear, else how could they do as they bid?
A62876The corporal temple had its dreadth, and its measure described most accurately by God, shall not the spiritual have its?
A62876There is no necessity of being idle, if thou knowest not where to hear on that day, hast thou no work to do save that?
A62876There was never yet any Heretical preacher in the world, but he preached some truth; is it lawfull to hear such?
A62876Thou walkest in the light of assurance, or thou dost not?
A62876To the Questions, Are any of these Ordinances and Constitutions of the appointment of Christ?
A62876To the first, which of the Institutions of Christ have not the present Ministers mixed with their inventions?
A62876To the third, Is not a great part of their Worship drops of the Whores Cup of Fornication and shreds of the great lye of Antichrist?
A62876Were not many, if not most in your Churches wrought upon at first by other Preachers?
A62876Were they also Idolaters?
A62876What Apostolical tradition have we for stinted Forms of Prayer, or Liturgies in the Church?
A62876What a Lesbian leaden rule doth this Author then give, whose offence is to be avoided, rather than anothers?
A62876What if this should be granted?
A62876What less?
A62876What less?
A62876What more absurd, then to run to the persecuting Whore and Beast for an Office of Ministry?
A62876What more dishonorable to the Lord Jesus can be asserted?
A62876What say our Reverend Fathers and Ministers of the Church of England to these things?
A62876What that, or those sins are, we suppose the Ministers of England to be guilty of?
A62876What then are they?
A62876What visible lineaments of such a frame of spirit, are drawn upon the faces of that generation of men, concerning whom we are now discoursing?
A62876What was the visible Church of the Jewes, when that Nation was called to the faith?
A62876What, O what will Eternity be then?
A62876What?
A62876When did the Ministers compel all under the penalty of death, or outlawry to acknowledg subjection to the Hierarchy?
A62876When or where were they instituted by by him?
A62876When were they raised by such?
A62876Where are the souls that are converted, comforted, strengthened, stablished, that are waiting at the ● doors of their house?
A62876Where find we any Apostles after the departure of those that were immediately by Christ called to that Office?
A62876Where read we of their so doing?
A62876Wherefore then was that reed given to John?
A62876Whether in such a Church there ● s, or can rationally be supposed to be, a true Ministry of the Institution of Christ?
A62876Whether such Prayers and service may not be a Worship of God in a way that is of his appointment?
A62876Whether the Book of Common- Prayer, or stinted Liturgies, be of the Prescription of Christ, and not of mans devising and invention?
A62876Whether the Lord Jesus be not the alone Head, King, and Law- giver to his Church?
A62876Whether the officers instituted by Christ, are not onely Pastors, Teachers, Deacons and helpers?
A62876Whether there be any National Church under the Oeconomie of the Gospel?

A62876Why so?
A62876Yea, is this to come out of, and separate from them?
A62876Yea, may not some others ordain Elders for particul ● ● Instituted Churches?
A62876Yet 2ly, who that hath but half an eye can chuse but see, that an attendance upon their Ministry is remote enough from being their intendment?
A62876Yet should this also be granted, where are the Constitutions and Laws of this Church, that we may pay the homage to them as is meet?
A62876an ille qui teipsum creavit?
A62876and can such be accounted as the subjects of the Kingdom of Christ, and the real owners of his Authority and Power?
A62876came the Word of God out from you?
A62876covetousness, self- seeking, and other sinister affections, as others of different wayes?
A62876determine what Laws and Constitutions were fit to be observed by them?
A62876did they frame any?
A62876from how many have they gone a whoring?
A62876how shall we know them?
A62876how shall we know them?
A62876if they derive it through the Papacy, who sees not the invalidity thereof?
A62876is it the National Church of England?
A62876is less to the purpose: For what shew of consequence is there in this?
A62876is not a great part of their worship drops of the Whores Cup of Fornication, and shreds of the great lye of Antichrist?
A62876many persons that either by indulgence or connivence, though not acknowledging such subjection, live as free as those that do?
A62876nothing less: is there any thing like this in the whole Oeconomie invented and practised by them?
A62876or came it unto you only?
A62876or doth Christ indeed send forth servants in any imployment, and not furnish them with Gifts sutable thereunto?
A62876put some restraints upon Prophecying, to keep order?
A62876sayes, Lordship and Dominion is plainly forbidden to the Apostles, and darest thou then usurp the same?
A62876so that none indeed doth return from his wickedness: How rare a thing is it to hear of one soul that is brought over to God by all their preaching?
A62876speaks thus, What?
A62876what can be imagined more frivolous or false?
A62876what need I turn aside to make application of this to the Prophets of this day?
A62876when and where were they instituted by him?
A62876when or where were they instituted by him?
A62876who is a lier but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ?
A62876who sees not?
A62876who sees not?
A62876who that hath soberly and unbiassedly considered of these things, but must acknowledge it?
A62876who that is serious, doth not experiment the truth thereof in his own soul?
A62876yea, are any qualified with Gifts as they, for the discharge of such an Office?
A62876— qui enim resistit potestati, Dei ordinationi resistit: sed quid si illud jubeat quod non debes facere?
A62876— timendo potestatem ipsos humanarum rerum gradus advertite: si aliquid jusserit Curator, nonne faciendum est?
A62864& the Apostles constantly practised?
A62864( For what is the externall administration of the covenant of grace; but the seals, as they call them, and the rest of the service of the Sanctuary?)
A62864( not 7. as it is printed) If some believed not, shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
A628641 saith he, How Bain and Ame ● come to the name of Remonstrants?
A628641. it seems he will not see i ●, and then wee may apply to him the Proverb, Who so blinde as hee that will not see?
A628641. to Harding, saying, Were the hundred thousand Bores of Germany consumed by the sword of the Nobility there for their obecience?
A6286410. answers; nor doth Mr. M. or Dr. Homes deny it, but Mr. M. asks What is your argument hence?
A6286410.1, 2, 3, 4. compared with chap 11 3, 14, 15, 18. yea but if the command bound them, why were they circumcised?
A6286410.16, 17. to have a meer visible Churchstate?
A62864122. tell us, that Moses did cause them oft to enter and renew the Covenant?
A628642 To his second question, Are the naturall seed of Abraham and legall justiciaries one and the same?
A628642. l. 1 c. 42. saith, qu dam nullo judicio videntur con cripta quae se satis produn?
A628642. saith M. Drew, Are not Gentiles the seed of Abraham?
A6286431.36, 37. which seemed to promise they should be his people to be justified and saved by Christ?
A6286438. of the gift of the holy Ghost, some of other promises?
A628647.22?
A6286478. we read of some that have been sanctified from the womb, were they visible Churchmembers in the womb?
A628648. but is not all that included in this, I will be your God?
A6286484?
A6286485. enquires, What is the formal reason and ground that any hath right to Baptism?
A62864Alas Sir, why do you run into this needless and erroneous digression?
A62864And 1. what means Mr. T. to talk of mercy to others, when our question is, Whether it be a mercy to themselves to be unchurched?
A62864And 6. whether he mean that call by which particularly they were at first made a Church?
A62864And I demand further, when we are graffed in and so naturalized with them, do we not partake of all the fatness or priviledges of the Olive with them?
A62864And Noah pray, that God would perswade Japhet to dwell in the tents of Sem?
A62864And are not the Sacraments Signa conditionalia, conditionall signes and Seals?
A62864And by way of retortion, I do s ● riously ask Mr. B. how he will expound the word all nations?
A62864And can any man of common sence and conscience expound this of his casting all their infants out of his family?
A62864And did former Laws oblige to Circumcision till Christ?
A62864And do you think this the common sense of the word?
A62864And does not this vail so far blind their eyes that they see not so much as with faith historical?
A62864And doth Mr. T. thinke that no wicked men perish as Covenant- breake ● s with Christ?
A62864And doth not he that saith there is no law, say there is no transgression?
A62864And how else then should the nature and use of it be held out?
A62864And how is this proved?
A62864And if he did not, why doth he talk of proving it here where he disputes against me?
A62864And if it neither determine the person, nor give 〈 ◊ 〉 ground to determine, how then doth it become probable to that person?
A62864And if so, whether of Abraham onely?
A62864And if so, whether that which was proper to the Jews posterity?
A62864And if the Covenant of grace be a birth- priviledge, how are they children of wrath by nature?
A62864And is it not also of the promise foregoing?
A62864And is not this from as great a mistake as the other, to think that Gods command is no part of his Covenant?
A62864And is there no intimation in this that Seth was an infant member of the visible Church?
A62864And it being with their consent that the nation were church members, may not the like be done now?
A62864And now must I be fain to shew, that churchmembership is neither sucking the brest of a godly woman, nor being brought in the family?
A62864And shall we think the Apostle so foolish as to be thus troubled for such a loss?
A62864And should not every King and Magistrate do the like?
A62864And so should every repenting believing Jews infants be Churchmembers?
A62864And the whole speech considered, the words import no more then this, can I bring him back again to life?
A62864And then for Moses what more did he?
A62864And then what was the physical act which is called Gods taking?
A62864And then why should we doubt but the Apostles mission extended to them also?
A62864And were they all elected and partakers of saving graces, or outward priviledges onely?
A62864And were we not once all infants?
A62864And what a lamentable confusion are we now brought into by these?
A62864And what call had these infants that can not understand a call?
A62864And what he means by a Church call to infants that can not understand, I know not; except by a call he meaneth circumcising them?
A62864And what hope is it?
A62864And what is it?
A62864And what is to be expected from children of that age?
A62864And what means Mr. T. to talk of here one and there one?
A62864And what of it had been true if the whole Kingdome?
A62864And whence hath Master Cobbet warrant to say that the promise belongs one way to the Jewes, and another way to the Gentiles?
A62864And where did Mr. T. learn in Scripture to call the Jews churchstate carnal?
A62864And whether I may not as groundedly make a fact sufficient for this purpose of the acts of an hundred or two hundred years onely?
A62864And who shall descend into the deep] that is to bring Christ again from the dead?
A62864And will not parents mourn for their children?
A62864And would not Mr. T. now have a whole family made a Church in a day?
A62864And yet of all such who will say, they were all in a saving estate?
A62864And yet( would any man think it?)
A62864Are all those glorious things spoken of the City of God, and is it now better to be out of any Church then in it?
A62864Are not the aged worse then they?
A62864Are not the infants of Adam deprived of life in justice to their hurt, without their breaking Covenant with God, or their personal desert?
A62864Are not these Kingdomes added to the Church as well as Israel?
A62864Are not these cross caper ●?
A62864Are the head and members at such odds, that one must give place, and be gone when the other comes?
A62864Are the n ● ● urall seed of Abraham and legall justiciaries one and the same?
A62864Are they children to whom the adoption pertains, and yet no children?
A62864Are you sure that which Abraham did in it was as a Magistrate?
A62864Art thou called being a servant?
A62864As the Sichemites must do, so other nations must do: For what priviledge had the children of the Sichemites above the rest of the world?
A62864As we know not what he means by[ constitution] as is said before; so who knows what he meaneth by[ their Church call?]
A62864Be wiser then our Fathers?
A62864Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
A62864Besides what ground hath Mr. G. to call this promise the Gospel- covenant?
A62864Besides what interfering is there in Paedobaptists?
A62864But are the promises to all professors because they are conditionally proposed to them?
A62864But did God promise spiritual grace to the Jews after the captivity and not before?
A62864But do I call any where the Gospel mixt?
A62864But doth Nazianzen give us there any Scripture for this differing?
A62864But doth he say this of the Israelites then living whose case he bewailed?
A62864But he further demands, Or what doth he mean by churchstate?
A62864But if it be not a distinction of a genus into its species, what distinction is it?
A62864But let us consider a little what is the Church?
A62864But may I not require Mr. B. to shew me by what actions I have done any of these things?
A62864But shall we make no difference between the children of believers and unbelievers?
A62864But was not it true also of the Ierusalem that was when Christ was?
A62864But waving this, is the fault mended in his Defence?
A62864But what a dotage is this?
A62864But what if all this were true?
A62864But what is it then?
A62864But what is this to those who do not deny Christ, and therefore are both Children of the flesh, and of the- promise?
A62864But what non- sense scribling is this, to term preaching or hearing covenanting?
A62864But what saith M. C. to the instance of the males of 7. days only to infringe his rule?
A62864But what saith it?
A62864But what text do you think he brought?
A62864But what text do you think he brought?
A62864But what then?
A62864But whence doth he gather that Circumcision of right ended, when Baptism began to be an initial Sacrament?
A62864But who so bold as blinde bayard?
A62864But whose Logick rule is that he mentions?
A62864But will you yeeld that they are so much as seeming probable members of the invisible Church?
A62864But, What may I do to escape the wrath due to me?
A62864But, saith he, doth not this contradict what went before?
A62864By asking Mr. T. whether he be ready to pay th ● t reverence to the authority of the Fathers, as to bee concluded by their affirmations?
A62864By demand; Is there any such decree as to cast out of the Church invisible?
A62864By w ● at law becomes he a lawful proxy?
A62864By what means is it visible or discernable that a believers infant is fetcht out of Satans visible kingdome and 〈 ◊ 〉 an unbelievers?
A62864By what rule those who are acknowledged visible Church- members in infancy c ● n be denied the Lords Supper?
A62864Can Mr. B. say they are not among his party?
A62864Can any man think that this was any part of the ● ondage?
A62864Can he prove that their churchmembership was a type of Christ, that must cease when he was come?
A62864Can he say this of the Jewish Church, and their call?
A62864Can you bring us proof of any one infant of true Church- members, that was not rightfully a Churchmember himself from the creation till Christs dayes?
A62864Can you imagine what shift is left against this plain truth?
A62864Christ wonders at Nicodemus, that he understood it not: Art thou a ruler in Israel and knowest not these things?
A62864Christs Church is his family; and doth the Heir use to be freed by being cast out of the family?
A62864Concerning Athanas ● us he speaks thus, What say you to that passage in Athanasius?
A62864Credis?
A62864D ● th he perswade them?
A62864Dare any say of no unbelievers infants is Christs Kingdome?
A62864Dare you maintain that all the world is sinlesse in this respect?
A62864Did I ever grant that the Jewish baptism of any infants is to be our pattern, or was Christs pattern?
A62864Did I ever say there is less hope of their salvation, then fear of their damnation?
A62864Did circumcision seal no other promise but that?
A62864Did none but Abraham give an example unto others of believing?
A62864Did the adding of these Laws and ceremonies take down any former part of the Church?
A62864Did the bringing out of Aegypt concur to make Moses a Churchmember when he was in the basket on the waters?
A62864Did the faith of God take effect in that which was never promised?
A62864Did they begin to be a Church in the Wilderness?
A62864Do not Tertullian, Cyprian,& c. argue from Circumcision unto Baptism 〈 ◊ 〉 we now do, and others of them from Covenant holiness?
A62864Do not these things happen to the most godly Saints?
A62864Do they know what[ a trans ● unt fact is, that without law or Covenant makes Churchmembers?]
A62864Do yo ● understand what it is to be a member of a City, or of a family?
A62864Do you understand what is totum aggregatum& pars totius?
A62864Doest thou renounce?
A62864Doth Christ cast any out of the Church, onely that he may succeed them?
A62864Doth God say, that the seed of the righteous are not blessed till they come to age?
A62864Doth Mr. B. interpret this of infants?
A62864Doth he circumcise them?
A62864Doth he command them to obey the commands of God?
A62864Doth he give any reason?
A62864Doth it follow, that because I assigne Ev ● ngelical benefits to Abrahams spiritua ● seed, I deny any of his natural seed to be his spiritual?
A62864Doth not Mr. B. acknowledge, that Abrahams Circumcision did seal the righteousness of saith which he had being yet uncircumcised?
A62864Doth not Mr. T. confess that the Jews infants were in Covenant?
A62864Doth not Scripture term the Jewish Church or people, the Circumcision, because those that were in that Church, if male, were circumcised?
A62864Doth not the promise give them an established right in this blessing?
A62864Doth not the seal belong to the thing sealed?
A62864Doth not thus plainly assert that the Jews then were righly judged by Peter to be in the promise, and their right thereby to batism?
A62864Doth the covenant appertain to them, and they stiled the children of the covenant, and yet are they out of covenant?
A62864Doth the word[ taking] signifie a meer physical taking or fact; or a moral; such as among men we call, a civil action?
A62864Doth visible Churchmember praedicari de pluribus specie differentibus in quid?
A62864Else is not this as great a mercy to the poor off cast Jews?
A62864Else why do Ministers exhort men to joyn with some particular Church, and to submit to their Pastors?
A62864Ergo, Now what doth Mr. C. answer?
A62864Far would any that knowes the meaning of words, take this for a right paraphrase?
A62864First hee says, if by standard bee meant Baptism, who makes a Thesis of his Hypothesis?
A62864First, whether the first verse of this second chapter be meant onely of invisible members?
A62864For Adam and Eve were eyed, saith Mr C. as a seminall visible Church?
A62864For I would know what the faith of God was whether it were the Covenant of saving grace, or the outward Covenant?
A62864For examining of which I set down something about priviledges, which Mr. M. grants, and saith, what''s all this to the purpose?
A62864For how doth it administer it but as a means of applying it?
A62864For is the one to be defined by the other?
A62864For the Apostle extendeth redemption here to those that were under the Law; and who knoweth not that infants were under the Law?
A62864For the minor was,[ that here is no greater mercy given to infants in stead of Churchmembership:] Doth not Mr. T. acknowledge this?
A62864For were not the Jews infan ● s by their visible Churchmembership bound to be circumcised, and to keep Moses Law?
A62864For what are those outward priviledges in respect of which they are the same but outward administrations?
A62864For what consequence?
A62864For what else can be the reason of those terms[ at least as well] which are not like the expressions of a man that is well resolved what to hold?
A62864For what fruit or accompt can else be given of all Christs preaching and pains bestowed in that city?
A62864For what is a Covenanter but one that makes a promise?
A62864For what is addition to a company but a joyning or bringing one more to them then was before?
A62864For what is covenant- interest, but interest in the covenant, and covenant- right, but right from the covenant?
A62864For what is it to seal and not to confer grace, but onely to assure?
A62864For where is this distinction of yours found or founded in the word of God?
A62864For who knows not that Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David, with million ● more are dead, and are now no members in any visible Church?
A62864For, 1. how were the promises made indefinitely, and yet to all the Israelites?
A62864From Cyrus, Arta ● ● rxes, Darius, Ab ● su ● rus?
A62864Go disciple all nations,& c. Is not this brave proving the repeal before mentioned?
A62864God saith you stand all here,& c. to enter into the Covenant, and oath,& c. And you say, it can not be all, whom shall we believe God or you?
A62864Hath he not a good wit, that can prove that Christ hath repealed his merciful gift, because he hath redeemed us from under our bondage and tutorage?
A62864Hath the mercfull God revealed no ordinary help for them?
A62864Have not I also granted this thing, and that upon the same reasons?
A62864Have you well considered of the fruit of your way ● apparent in England and Ireland at this day?
A62864He addeth the very exposition to every sentence:[ who shall ascend into heaven] that is, saith he, to bring Christ down from above?
A62864He adds, Besides is there not 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 mystery in the original?
A62864He adds, If he be not, why doth he mention this as usefull in this matter?
A62864He adds, May not I boldly say, that once the infants of all covenanters had this priviledge?
A62864He circumcised them when God had commanded; And was circumcising the call?
A62864He goes on, And what is this Syntax that is so clear?
A62864He ● aith, If he be wonder why the uniform consent of them that infants are to be baptized should not prevail with him?
A62864Here then the Question between us is not, Whether the natural issue of Abraham by Isaac and Jacob were taken into Covenant?
A62864His house are we; wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if yee will hear his voyce,& c. So as if the question bee what voice?
A62864How are ye?
A62864How came there to be so strict a conjunction between Priesthood, Temple, Sanhedrim,& c. as that the Church must needs fall when they fall?
A62864How came there to be so strict a conjunction between the Church and their membership, as that the Church must needs fall when they fall?
A62864How can Christ bid them, Go and disciple all Nations, if infants and so all the Nation are utterly uncapable of being disciples?
A62864How comes any man ● o bee a childs proxy, who doth not make hi ● so?
A62864How could you allege Dr. Field without considering how you wrong''d your self?
A62864How doth it appear that what the Jews did we may do?
A62864How is it proved that any are visible members of the Christian Church, but by profession of faith?
A62864How is the word vindicated from all necessity that it should be confined to grown men?
A62864How little know they the difference between Christ and Moses, that think they might then be churchmembers and not now?
A62864How oft would I have g ● thered?
A62864How prove you that it was a blemish to the old frame, that infants were members?
A62864How then is it true which here he saith they ceased to have a visible right to the promise till they raigned repentance?
A62864How they can make good the regularity of Church- consti ● ution, and the ordination of Elders, who have no other baptism but that in infancy?
A62864How understand you Pauls discourse about the members and body?
A62864How unequal would the distribution ● e of this verse, not suitable to the lawes of expression among rational men?
A62864I answer, saith he, fully: If this be the question, what is the condition on which God in Scripture bestoweth this infant holiness?
A62864I had thought they had been on the party that are called Contra- remonstrants?
A62864I say, do they know this?
A62864I suppose we are agreed what a Church visible is?
A62864I ● it not a mercy to be freed from it?
A62864If I did not, why doth hee suggest as if in this conclusion hee asserted more then I do?
A62864If a wicked man ea ● his meat without seeking a blessing on it, or giving thanks, will any one say that he hath not a lawfull use of the creature?
A62864If by writing is not the act transeunt?
A62864If he and Mr. Rogers can so easily say and unsay, who can give credit to men that can thus blow hot and cold wi ● h the same breath?
A62864If he mean it of that species or sort of Ministerial call, then what sort is that?
A62864If i ● be( saith he) no carnal Churchstate to have infants in heaven, why is it a carnal Churchstate which containeth infants in it on earth?
A62864If it be asked what is an invisible Churchmember, will any that is in his wits say hee is a visible Churchmember?
A62864If it be by voice is not that transient?
A62864If it be this same, then how comes a meer transeunt fact to work effectually so many hundred years after it is past?
A62864If it determine not the kind of good formally nor virtually, nor contain it generically; then how doth it make it probable?
A62864If it intend more then this, then it is not verified or fulfilled in this much; if it intend no more, then how doth it make their salvation probable?
A62864If it were only the outward, how did it take saving effect in the elect?
A62864If only of Jews, how must the Gentiles be saved?
A62864If plain Scripture will not satisfie these men, why then do they call for Scripture?
A62864If the Jews Church constitution before Moses time was such as took in infants, why not after Moses time?
A62864If the adding of all these ceremonies did not make a new Church, or overthrow the old, why should the taking of them away overthrow it?
A62864If the special priviledge to the children doth suppose the parents call, why not also the childrens call?
A62864If the succession be broken off upon the Jews unbelief, why not upon the unbelief of each ancestor?
A62864If there were, is there no other promise to be ratified by such a Seal but that?
A62864If therefore God have made general promises as to age and person, who is he that dare limit it, without just proof that indeed God hath limited it?
A62864If they of N. E. do fold them up in the Church, why do they keep them from Church- communion till they bee made members by Church- covenant?
A62864If this doctrine be true, why may we not expect to be taught, that infants must also be cast out of heaven, in mercy to the whole catholick Church?
A62864If unbelief brake them, will not repentance graff them in?
A62864Imo haec omnia praedestinationis effecta sunt: quomodo igitur possunt statui praedestinationis causae?
A62864In what regard is the new frame better ● d by casting out infants which were in the old?
A62864Is Mr. B. allowed to accuse in generals, and not to instance in particulars?
A62864Is a Scottish Covenanter any other then one that makes a promise or subscribes to the Covenant?
A62864Is all this then no promise, but a transeunt fact?
A62864Is any man called being uncircumcised?
A62864Is any man the wiser for a meer Negative?
A62864Is baptizing all one with sealing?
A62864Is infants church- membership essential to Church constitution?
A62864Is it a physical action though a moral causation of some physical effect?
A62864Is it in the word Church?
A62864Is it meant first of Gods Law or Covenant enacting ▪ making, and constituting them a Church?
A62864Is it not the body of Christ?
A62864Is it not the body of Christ?
A62864Is it sense to call that a covenant without a Trope, which is neither a promise nor a condition of a covenant?
A62864Is not Churchmembership contained in[ God''s being their God, and taking them for his people thus in Covenant?]
A62864Is not here comfort( but by a silly comforter) to all the Jewes themselves?
A62864Is not the nature, end, and use of Sacram ● ● ts or holy engaging signs and seals, the same to all?
A62864Is not the wonderfull success of the Gospel one of our strong arguments for the truth of the Gospel and our Christian Religion?
A62864Is not this a contradiction, to say all invisible members are visible?
A62864Is not this enough to make his cause suspicious?
A62864Is not this the manner of quakers and scolds?
A62864Is nothing written in Scripture but expresly?
A62864Is that a ceremony to a thing which is the substance of it?
A62864Is that his charity?
A62864Is the substance of a being a distinct thing from it?
A62864Is there any Translator or Commentator afore him that hath thus expounded it?
A62864Is this a safe ground to build so great a weight on?
A62864Is this establishing Covenant or promise but a transeunt fact?
A62864Is this such doctrine as were enough to break their hearts?
A62864Is this the Gospel- covenant to make a people only reputatively and outwardly, but not really adopted: Is this that which circumcision did seal?
A62864Is this the covenant of grace which the seal is to follow?
A62864It is: But wh ● se is it?
A62864Keturahs children were Churchmembers in infancy: I enquire of you by what act they were made such?
A62864Lot came out of Ur with Abraham, yea and from Haran, and lived with him: were not Lot and his infants Churchmembers then?
A62864Master Sidenham will have infants by the words[ your children] will he say the promise was then offered to them, and they then under the call of God?
A62864May I not also exact of you to shew when and where this was taken away?
A62864May he have liberty, as in a Chancery bill hath been wo nt, to put in all he can imagine, whether true or false?
A62864May not any thing be from heaven or by Gods appointment which is derived from a Jewish custome?
A62864Mr M. adds, And did any orthodox Divines before your self, charge this to be Arminianism, to say that the Gospel runs upon conditions?
A62864Mr. B. adds, But why do I expect th ● ● when hee suspendeth his judgement?
A62864Mr. B. adds, If it were asked what benefit had the Circumcision?
A62864Mr. C. in this passage speaks so obscurely that it is hard to say what he drives at, and I may take up the saying, reed me a riddle what''s this?
A62864Mr. M. asks, But if we Gentiles have it not, then are not we, I pray you, straightned in that particular?
A62864Much more to call this the Copy of Abraham the Father of believers?
A62864My answer was right, and to his Demand, where it is found in the word of God?
A62864Name mee one place in the New Testament, that more evidently speaks in an expository way of any Text in the Old?
A62864No; Or do they baptize them out of Covenant?
A62864Now can this be good sense to be all the world, the Kingdomes of the world, and to be called or separated from or out of the world?
A62864Now doth Christ break off all infants from his body, that he may come in the flesh to be a greater mercy to them?
A62864Now how doth Mr. Geree wipe this away?
A62864Now is not that a strong ground of hope, that so dying, they shall not be damned?
A62864Now must I throw away that which is past doubt because of that which is doubtfull?
A62864Now were all these members elected will any say?
A62864Now what doth Mr. C. answer?
A62864Now what is the blessing of Abraham?
A62864Now what promise was that?
A62864Now what saith Mr. Bl to this?
A62864Now what saith Mr. Geree to this?
A62864Now what saith Mr. Sidenham to this?
A62864Now who are this seed of Abrhaam?
A62864Now who dare expound thi ● thus?
A62864O what a Church might we have had, and were likely to have had?
A62864O what work have you made your self?
A62864Or did every new ceremony that was added make a new Church, or constitution of the Church?
A62864Or have you not seen enough to make you suspect and fear whether indeed God own your way or not?
A62864Or how could it be any part of the cause?
A62864Or if infants were Church- members long before either Temple, or Sanedrim, or High Priest,& c. Why may they not be so when these are down?
A62864Or is it in the term[ member?]
A62864Or is it meant of Gods immediate call from heaven to Abraham or any others to bring them into the Covenant?
A62864Or what day?
A62864Pag 153. what saith Mr. B. to this?
A62864Qu 1. did ● o ● o nomine cease to be Churchmembers, though they forsook not God?
A62864Quid festinat innocens aetas ad remissionem peccatorum?
A62864Quo teneam nodo?
A62864Saith he, And I pray you tell me yet a little better, how an act can make a man a Churchmember that was one long before that was done?
A62864Saith he, Are not little ones here named?
A62864Saith he, But I further answer: What if this were not understood?
A62864Saith he, I demand did they continue in the Church visible, when upon execution of such a decree they were cast out of the Church invisible?
A62864Saith he, Why should Moses say, here stand your children and wives, that not they but you might enter into Covenant?
A62864Sir, was this the Covenant of works?
A62864Sir, was this the covenant of works?
A62864So Mr. T. saith, It is a mercy to the whole catholicke Church: But what is that to infants who are unchurched?
A62864So that our enquiry must be Whether the Congregation and the Commonwealth be the same thing in your sense?]
A62864Such as I believe the Sun never saw, nor the wisest Lawyer in England ever read before?
A62864Suppose I could not assign the day, is not the thing true?
A62864That I raise a doubt whether[ any] covenant made with Abraham be simply Evangelical?
A62864That baptism seals that promise in which God engageth himself to be the God of believing Christians, and their seed?
A62864That infants of beleevers have salvation, if they die in their infancy, by ver ● ue of the Covenant?
A62864That the Jews and their rejection was the ground of the Gentiles?
A62864That they know not what mercy it is that is here promised, whether common or special: To which I answer: what if they know not?
A62864That 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, such children should stay till three or four years old more, or less?
A62864That[ he will be their God] is his promise: but is that all the Covenant?
A62864The absolute promise is to give faith: Is not God and Man in like manner engaged by baptism in sealing this as well as the other?
A62864The first question in order fit to be resolved is[ whether infants before Christs incarnation were Churchmembers?
A62864The objection still holds, How can baptism seal to an infant?
A62864The question between us is no ● so mu ● h Whether infants may be baptized?
A62864Then I would fain be resolved in this whether Christ took upon him onely the nature of the Jews, or of the Jews and Gentiles both?
A62864Then it was no mercy to the Jews you think, but to us Gentiles: But our question is, whether it be a mercy to the unchurched infants?
A62864Then the Gentiles, Pagans infants now, are happier then the Jews were then; for the Pagans and their infants are out of the Church?
A62864There is no common nature of a Sacrament expressed in Scripture, therefore Baptism is not a Sacrament, more then in this?
A62864There shall be no more thence an infant of days; How can thi ● be understood litterally?
A62864There was no such question as Mr. B. would impose on mee, as if I doubted whether any infant should bee saved?
A62864They have the word or promise, which is the greater; who can inhibite the sign which is the less?
A62864This very reply what is it but a vain shift?
A62864This was the way which he often attempted, which is implied in the phrase, how often would I?
A62864To his qustion, If all members of the visible Church be not Abrahams seed, what right have they to the seal of the covenant made to Abrahams seed?
A62864To some a person may seem to be of the invisible Church, to others not, is he of the visible Church or not?
A62864To speak so contemptuously in such disparaging language of the Kingdome and Gospel of Christ?
A62864To the Kings Supremacy what is parity among Elders in the Church?
A62864To this Mr, M. But is not this the same sense with mine?
A62864To this Mr. M. Where i ● Circumcision compared to burial, and wherein I pray you lies the analogy between them?
A62864To this he replies, How doth that follow?
A62864To this the Dr. saith, But I wonder what appearance of concludency there is in that reason?
A62864To what other end should God command them?
A62864To which I answer, they were; and ask him, Whether they were not without a saving faith?
A62864To which I answer: There are abundance far greater given in their stead: And what is that then to those that have nothing in their stead?
A62864To which I reply, Did he ever hear me deny it?
A62864True: But do ● h hee term any infant so in those places?
A62864True: but was this goodness or severity in respect of a meer visible Churchstate?
A62864Was it but here one and there one when three thousand were converted at once, and five thousand afterwards?
A62864Was it ever heard before from the mouth of man, that Christ succeeded churchmembership, as a thing that was to give place for him?
A62864Was not Christs Church before his incarnation spiritual, and gathered in a spiritual way?
A62864Was not Cornelius taken for unclean, and not of that Church, because uncircumcised?
A62864Was not the Jewish people a Church before they had either a Temple, or Sanhedrim, or High Priest, or any of the ceremonies of the Law of Moses?
A62864Was not the promise, saith he, made to them that then were?
A62864Was there ever a Law or Covenant made in the world any other way ● hen by a transeunt fact?
A62864Well, But may it not yet lie in the second point[ that they were all taken in to be a Church in one day?]
A62864Were infants of Proselytes to be baptized because they were infants?
A62864Were not they, saith he; captivated oft in the time of the Judges, and so it might at least be made good then?
A62864Were not this a contemptible arguing?
A62864Were they not aliens and strangers so much as from the Commonwealth of Israel?
A62864What Commission, whence have the Church power to exchange and commute ones profession for anothers?
A62864What Ordinance is there then which may be abused by receiving visible Church- membership?
A62864What a hard word is this[ Churchmember?]
A62864What a powerfull argument is here for a man to venture upon to unchurch all the infants in the world?
A62864What advantage hath the Jew, and what profit the circumcision?
A62864What aptitude hath the leading to Padan Aram, or removal to Aegypt, to make infants Churchmembers?
A62864What can I i ● agine but that Mr. T. knowingly fastens this gross untruth upon mee?
A62864What can be said against this that is sense or reason?
A62864What day was that?
A62864What he adds, I say therefore as Peter whither shall we go, if we forsake the Church?
A62864What he adds, Indeed God chose the seed of Abraham ● n a special manner?
A62864What if Mr. T. should use Magistrates as he doth infants( as former Anabaptists have done) hath he not as good ground?
A62864What if all this were true?
A62864What is Christs Kingdom but his Church?
A62864What is that to Churchmembership?
A62864What is the Church the Doctour means, that accepts a proxies profession in st ● ad of the childe?
A62864What is the Church?
A62864What is the meaning of that expression, the privileges of the Covenant were made to all?
A62864What is this to a ministerial call?
A62864What is this to them that are put out of that carnal Churchstate, and kept out of this spiritual Churchstate too?
A62864What kind of juggling is there with these men?
A62864What need I, when I grant the conclusion?
A62864What ordinary way& state of salvation external have they more than Mahometanes?
A62864What promise?
A62864What real Evangelical promise or blessing do infan ● s of believing Jews now lose, by not being Christian visible Churchmembers?
A62864What saith Mr. B. now?
A62864What saith this Text to any such matter?
A62864What strange kinds of Heretiques were the Quartodecimani, Aerians, Helvidians, and many more?
A62864What strange mysterious tautologies would be in this one verse?
A62864What then doth Mr. Blake take my meaning to be?
A62864What then is this making them a Church in one day that Mr. T. so cloudily talks of?
A62864What then remains to be denied?
A62864What was by Magistrates?
A62864What was it that Abraham did?
A62864What was that to an Eunuchs case and others which never sojourned with them for any space?
A62864What was wo nt to be opposed against the reformation of Popish and Prelatical corruptions, shall we go against all antiquity?
A62864What''s that, but to be a greater mercy then himself, who is the life, and welfare of the body?
A62864What, are they exhort ● d to look least they bee cut off from Gods election,& c?
A62864What, may not any or all the nations of the world be added to the Church, if they will consent, and enter the Covenant?
A62864What?
A62864What?
A62864What?
A62864When they say, it is the administration of the Covenant, do they mean the Covenant or promise of the baptized to God, or Gods promise to the baptized?
A62864When they say[ it is the administration of the Covenant] do they mean the outward or inward Covenant?
A62864Where did God allow him to become a proxy or su ● ety for an infant?
A62864Where is there mention of a seal?
A62864Where then lies this peculiar call by the Magistrate?
A62864Whether a man may not oblige himself to a duty meerly by his consent?
A62864Whether any Jew at age was a member of the old Church without professing faith( in the Articles necessary to salvation) repentance and obedience?
A62864Whether from thence Christ derived this right of baptizing Christians?
A62864Whether it be nor against the Gospel to entitle p ● rsons to the Church visible Christian by their natural generation of beleevers?
A62864Whether it be not a profanation of Baptism to use it otherwise then Christ appointed?
A62864Whether it be not manifest hypocrisie to oppose the Cross, Surplice,& c. and to be zealous for Infant baptism?
A62864Whether then were not the children of the Disciples and all believing Jewes Churchmembers in infancy?
A62864Whether there were any Ordinance or Law of God that infants should be Churchmembers?
A62864Whether they who do so, do not break the solemn Covenant of endeavouring reformation according to Gods word?
A62864Whether this of initiating into the Covenant by baptism were a Jewish custome?
A62864Who dare believe such fancies, without one word of Scripture?
A62864Who dare make God the author of confusion which is the God of order?
A62864Who denies it?
A62864Who gave them or that person the name of the Church?
A62864Who saith it doth?
A62864Why does innocent age( meaning children in their infancy) make hast for remission of sins?
A62864Why doth he not prove it then from some Scripture or reason?
A62864Why else doth God so oft compare his love to that of a mother or father to the childe?
A62864Why else doth the Jewish Church pray for her little sister that had no breasts?
A62864Why may he not as well say, that all the body of the Jewish nation are now delivered by being cast out of the Church or Family of Christ?
A62864Why should Paul thus break out in his affections, for the loss of outward privileges, if it were not such a mercy to be under them?
A62864Why should the strangers stand there, v. 11. and yet Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob not their fathers?
A62864Why then doth Mr. B. suggest, to draw par ● is hearts from me to him, as if he said more in this then my self?
A62864Why then is not the churchmembership of men and women to give place to Christs comming in the flesh?
A62864Why, Sir, where is the difficulty?
A62864Will M. T. turn a downright Arminian, that hee may have any plea against the baptising of poor infants?
A62864Will Master Cobbet assert, the promise must be as large as the curse?
A62864Would it be proper to say in his Pulpit( when he was speaking of the nature of holiness and chastity) sanctified Socrates, holy Aristides?
A62864Would not a Scholler say he played the fool?
A62864Yea but have they not a promise on which to ground this charitable presumption?
A62864Yea, do I not dispute against it?
A62864Yea, to justifie all Jews against this charge, that should neglect or refuse to engage their children to God in Covenant as members of his Church?
A62864Yea; If by being out of Covenant be meant, that the Covenant of salvation is not made by God to them; then how come any to fall off and be damned?
A62864Yet again saith Mr. B. like a brave Goliath, And are not all professors of Christianity in England, as truly in the Church as all in Israel were?
A62864Yet again, What was it then that Abraham did more then now may be done?
A62864Yet further, saith he, why then hath God made such promises to the parents for their seed?
A62864[ Whether such laws, preceps, or grants as I shall prove, are capable of a repeal or revocation?]
A62864[ Whether there be any transeunt fact of God, which without the efficiency of precept or promise did make the infants of Israel Churchmembers?]
A62864[ Whether there be such precepts and promises as you grant( or as I shall prove) which yet make not infants Churchmembers?]
A62864[ Whether they are actually revoked or repealed?]
A62864[ Whether those which you have assigned be such facts?]
A62864[ Which are the Texts of Scripture that contain or express the said laws, precepts, or grants which I maintain?]
A62864[ Whosoever believeth not shall bee damned] that all infants are certainly damned?
A62864a seal of the righteousness of faith?
A62864and doth grace increase it?
A62864and hath advanced us in his family, as the Heir at age is advanced?
A62864and hath he not done so?
A62864and how Christ can bid them disciple infants without making Christ a fool and a tyrant in commanding that which is ridiculous and impossible?
A62864and how?
A62864and if circumcised at any time by any of the godly Church guides consent, what gave them right to it?
A62864and if no ●, how shall we know which is true, which not?
A62864and is here no Covenant, where the mutual Covenant is described?
A62864and many myriads or ten thousands even of the Jews that continued zealous of the Law did believe?
A62864and not as a Prophet?
A62864and so approve of the natural birth priviledge of our children in civil things?
A62864and suffer his Church to be wrong framed till now?
A62864and the Scripture encourage it?
A62864and tho first unresolved, is[ what Church it is that infants were members of?]
A62864and to how many generations?
A62864and was the uncircumcised Host onely in the Wilderness the Church?
A62864and what a sort of new political Doctrine shall we have from you, when these things are accomplished according to the frame you have begun?
A62864and what constituteth it formally?
A62864and what seed of Abraham did it come on?
A62864and what th ● t was?
A62864and what the substantial terms of the Covenant?
A62864and what you imagine that precept or promise to be which I assert?
A62864and whether the moral action of that law were permanent or transient?
A62864and whether you may not as well make all the acts from Abrahams call till Christ to be one fact, and assign it to this office?
A62864and why not of a Church?
A62864and would they take it well?
A62864and yet are they excluded?
A62864and yet is it, that they may be turned from their iniquity?
A62864and yet must they take it for a mercy, that their children are put out?
A62864are any of these essential to their Church constitution?
A62864are infants such ● ● ads or Vipers in comparison of men of years, that it is a mercy to the whole catholicke Church to have them cast out?
A62864as Whether they are in the number of Christians, and to be added as members to the visible Church?
A62864as if it were but to one infant in a nation in reprieving him a day from damnation?
A62864at least you understand it?
A62864baptize baptizing, from inept ● autology?
A62864because the whole city was moved, saying, who is this?
A62864besides all Gentiles?
A62864besides here is a new creation of a new generation[ son of years] who ever heard such a Syntax?
A62864can not we have a room in the body without being cast out at the comming of the head?
A62864condemn all the Churches?
A62864credo ▪ Spondes?
A62864did he make them members without their consent?
A62864did not infants after as well, as un ● er the captivity make up their weeke of dayes, months of weeks?
A62864did the son beget t ● e bow, perdition, the earth, or the bow, perdition, the earth the son?
A62864did the son beget the years, or the years the son?
A62864doth he conclude definitely of baptism here?
A62864doth he not expresly term them Saints by their calling not by their Baptism?
A62864doth here, Here''s a new creation of a new generation[ son of the bow, of perdition, of the earth] who ev ● r heard such a syntax?
A62864doth it follow that is not the meaning which I give?
A62864except the Anabaptists, who reject the benefit; whose case( as I said before) I will not presume to determine?
A62864had it not been for the Separatists and you?
A62864how absurd were that?
A62864how can these two be right?
A62864how do men enter into covenant, but by some act testifying assent to a promise?
A62864if God hath given them the like gift as unto us that believe on the Lord J ● sus Christ, who was I that I could forbid God?
A62864if ungodly progenitors intervene?
A62864infants were moved saying, who is this?
A62864is Covenant- fellowship all one with the Covenant?
A62864is it not for their advantage?
A62864is it to as many as the Lord shall call, or convert, or cause to repent?
A62864is it to persons called, and yet also to uncalled persons?
A62864is it to them that they may be called, yet the persons to whom the promise is, are as many as are supposed to be called?
A62864is meant of Christs entring into his rest?
A62864is there the least colour for the consequence from hence?
A62864know that this or that infant is in covenant and to be baptized?
A62864l ▪ 2 ● art ● th 6. p. 153. is right; For who can at this day discern what passages were the brats of Origen or his paraphrasts?
A62864make rents in the Church?
A62864may he without control accuse and not prove?
A62864may it not be a Church without these?
A62864may ● it not be a Church without these?
A62864more then from infants toward baptism?
A62864must wee therefore reject that which may bee understood?
A62864nor Master of family?
A62864nor Priest?
A62864or Moses onely?
A62864or affirms that by standard is meant Baptism?
A62864or all after?
A62864or any carnal ordinances of worship which were accidental to it?
A62864or any hurt to the Church to see them here members?
A62864or are both true?
A62864or both?
A62864or did Moses onely express the Covenant to them more fully, and cause them oft to renew the Covenant, and so onely confirm them a Church?
A62864or do I preach any such mixture?
A62864or doth not this confirm their right to the benefit promised, which was received before by the same means?
A62864or from the creation till this day?
A62864or give them those titles barely from Baptism?
A62864or how will Mr. T. expound the word all nations?
A62864or if not, what sense it hath?
A62864or is it not rather a baculo ad angulum?
A62864or not?]
A62864or of a promise sealed or to be sealed as he speaks?
A62864or some call common to both?
A62864or that Christs Church then and now are of two frames in regard of the subjects age?
A62864or that God where hee mentions the effect of his his great Covenant of the Gospel, means no more but such an estate?
A62864or that also by which in every generation their posterity were so made, or entred members?
A62864or that he hath shut out all infants from his Church, because he hath delivered them from the inconveniences of their minority?

A62864or to whom is this Covenant or the promise ● of it made by God?

A62864regenerate parents have issue unregenerate?
A62864resolution is upon that ground, and to be limited to those onely?
A62864saith he, that I should speak to is, whether these Laws, or Covenants, or promises, are capable of a revocation, or repeal?
A62864saith not a word to infirm my alleging them?
A62864saith, who knowes not that holy fathers have unholy children?
A62864that all things come alike to all?
A62864that the Jewish Church visible persecuted the Christian Church visible?
A62864the Apostle saith, Else what shall they do that are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not?
A62864the conveyance and seal annexed to it are no part of the purchased inheritance, but do they not belong to it?
A62864the first call?
A62864the substance of a man a distinct thing from a man?
A62864to say that the covenant contains or comprehends evangelical administrations, and yet to call it the administration it self?
A62864to say, this administration was administred, and not something by the administration administred?
A62864to this?
A62864unless it made a Law or Covenant which doth the deed?
A62864v 18. let him not become uncircumcised: Is any called in uncircumcision?
A62864v. be to be thus limited; Whether the Apostle makes doubt in that manner, whether they had tasted that the Lord is gracious?
A62864was not the circumcised seed of Abraham a Church in Aegypt?
A62864was not thi ● an heavie and intollerable yoke?
A62864was that only in their flesh?
A62864were they then unlawfully circumcised?
A62864what Scripture ever denied it?
A62864what mercy it is particularly?
A62864what need such a circumlocution?
A62864what saith the Scripture?
A62864what stands it for but a stone of offence to consciencious hearts?
A62864wherein lieth the difference in these two arguments?
A62864whether the essential nature of the Church it self?
