A66429How we can prove those Books to be of Divine Inspiration?
A66429If it be said, How doth it appear that they are the Faults of the Transcriber?
A66429Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you that God should raise the dead?

A66409How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation?

A66421But how ridiculous would he appear, that should thus adore himself, and pray to himself?
A66421What need is there of this Doctrine?
A66421What need of any Rewards proposed and promised, any more to provoke, encourage and oblige us to honour God, than to love our selves?

A664204. and were one Body in Affection, as they are one by Constitution?
A66420How excellent a state of things would it be, if the Inferior would not revile the Superior, nor the Superior set at nought the Inferior?
A66420Let us view the Words again; What trespass is this?
A66420That the Inferior would as much study to obey with Humility and Modesty, as the Superior to rule with Lenity and Moderation?
A66420They in the first place expostulate the matter with them; What trespass is this?
A66420— Is the iniquity of Peor too little?
A66420— but that ye must turn this day from following the Lord?
A66406And are we to discourse of them as if we were at some light and rustical Pastimes?
A66406And then, why is it more absurd to pray to the Cross, than it is thus to adore it?
A66406And why?
A66406But is this any credit to it?
A66406Did they formerly adore the Cross, and direct their Prayers to it in the solemn Offices of the Church?
A66406Did they heretofore use, without Scruple, to Worship and to pray to Images, as if the persons thereby represented were before them?
A66406For God''s sake are there no more decent Forms of Speech to describe these things by?

A66406Is it because it has produced any false Citations against them, or such as are insufficient?
A66406Or, why is it absurd to pray to the Cross for That, which they have pray''d before may be communicated to the Cross?

A66407And why all things are not Existent at once?
A66407And why he did not actually give at the same time when he promised?

A66407Now when the world was thus corrupted under the best human means, What could be a fitter season for our Saviour''s Appearance?
A66407So that the first thing to be considered is, When these last days began, and what are the Characters by which that time is to be known?

A66418And of the last, that the Cretians were Lyers,& c?
A66418And what an account for all must we expect to give another day, when God shall Judge the World in Righteousness?

A66418and that be done by a general consent amongst all Pious and Peaceable persons, which was done by a decree of the Pope?
A66418of the second, that the Athenians had excellent Laws, but perverse dispositions?
A66405And then, to what do they pray, but to the Image of the Person represented?
A66405But is this Argument mine, or was it produced to prove the Papists pray to Images?
A66405For what is the Image, but the Image of the Person represented?
A66405Indeed I had argued that if they do not pray to Images, Why are the Prayers used at the Consecration of them?
A66405To what end are the Pilgrimages to them?
A66405What do they honour, venerate, and kiss?
A66405Why do they direct their Prayers to them?
A66405Why do they suffer Persons to go long and tedious Pilgrimages to them?
A66405Why do they tell us of a Divine Presence, that is, if not in them, yet with them, as Tursellinus affirms of that at Lorreto?
A66405Why do they then in Terms pray to the Cross and the Veronica,& c?
A66405Why do they write whole Books of the Miracles wrought by the Virgin Mary, and others Saints by their Images?
A66405before what do they fall down?
A66405to what do they offer Incense, but the Image of the Person represented?
A66408And what then can any Revelation pretend to beyond it?
A66408And where might we more expect to be entertained with the Relations of such Rapts, as in the Gospel?
A66408And where will this end, if it once be credited, and that we commit our selves implicitly and blindly to such an uncertain Guide?
A66408But what can be greater, if these of Teresia be true?
A66408But where are the Proofs as plain under the Gospel for a New Revelation, as there were for that of the Gospel under the Law?
A66408But where is the Revelation of this Revelation?
A66408For if instead of a Star, it should prove an Ignis fatuus, whither may not Persons be led under the delusion of it?
A66408For what can be proposed of greater advantage unto Mankind, than what the Gospel offers to those that believe and obey it?
A66408For what will not be concluded to be lawful, nay, a duty, which Revelation shall warrant?
A66408If it be a personal Revelation, then we may reasonably demand, Where is the Evidence for such a Revelation?
A66408What is to be understood by another Gospel?
A66408or where can there be any that can be suppos''d to produce the like Evidence for its veracity?
A66395And if so it be, then what an Obligation is there upon us to observe it?
A66395And if the Question should be put, as it was by those whom John the Baptist sent, Art thou he that should come?
A66395And what are such, if these are not?
A66395And what can make them happy, if the Order and Method of Salvation revealed in Scripture be not sufficient for it?
A66395And where not?
A66395Look we upon the Morality of the greatest Philosophers, how poor is that to the Doctrine of our Saviour and the Apostles?
A66395Or who durst so much as enquire, where the Fear of Religion restrained them?
A66419Against this, the Apostle doth suppose it will probably be objected, What advantage then hath the Jew?
A66419And not rather, as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say, Let us do evil that good may come, whose damnation is just?
A66419And not rather, as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say, Let us do evil that good may come?
A66419And that God could not withdraw his Favour, and disfranchise them of those Priviledges, without being false to his Word?
A66419But it may be said, Where is this Principle to be met with, and where are the Persons that do hold and defend this Principle?
A66419For what if some did not believe?
A66419How would this overthrow the Authority, and disparage the Excellency of Gods Law, and render the Threatning of our Saviour insignificant?
A66419If the Truth of God hath more abounded through my lye unto his Glory, why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
A66419To this he replies with great Indignation, God forbid; for then how shall God judge the world?
A66419What shall we say then?
A66419or what profit is there of circumcision?
A66419shall their unbelief make the Faith, or Faithfulness, of God without effect?
A66419shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?
A66396And therefore why are the Apostles less inspired for that reason than the Prophets?
A66396He that ministreth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doth he it by the works of the Law, or the hearing of Faith?
A66396How often exhorting them to Repentance and Reformation, from the most powerful Considerations?
A66396How often using Arguments to convince them of their Immoralities and Impieties?
A66396How we can prove the Books of Scripture to have been of Divine Inspiration?
A66396How we can prove the Matter of Scripture to be true?
A66396How we can prove the Matter of Scripture to have been of Divine Revelation?
A66396How we do prove the Books of Scripture, which contain the matter of Revelation, to have been of Divine Inspiration?
A66396How we prove these Books that are now extant, and received by the Christian Church as Canonical, to be those very Books?
A66396but, Whether the matters of that supposed Revelation, and contained in those Books, were true, and that those Authors were sincere Relaters of it?
A66396or, Whether those whose Authors are not known, were of the same condition with those that were known?
A71259?
A71259?
A71259And then the Question is, What is that Evidence which will be sufficient for them to ground their Belief upon?
A71259And what Evidence can be given of Matters transacted 1600 Years ago, but Testimony, and what is usually called Moral Evidence?
A71259And what greater Evidence of this can be desired, than when the Persons Inspired live by the best Rules, as well as give them?
A71259And what is there more material, and of greater Importance, than to be satisfied about the Origine of all things, and how they came at first to be?
A71259Lastly, What more desirable, than to know the Certainty and Condition of a Future State, and how we may attain to the Happiness of it?
A71259Or to justify the Truth of a self- evident Proposition?
A71259What greater Testimonies can be given of their Sincerity, and if not of the Truth, yet of their own Belief of it?
A71259What need is there of a sign to prove that it is Day, when by the Light of it we see every thing about us?
A71259What thinks he of Joshua, that was bred up under the best Instructor, and that knew the Art of Government and Conduct in Peace and War?
A71259and whose Writings shew him to excel in all manner of Poetry and sublime Composures?
A66386But if they were not invented by men, How came they to be admitted, and at last so much to obtain in the world?
A66386But it may be said, What is all this Reasoning to Matter of Fact?
A66386If he was to teach himself, how could he know that he was able to speak; or how can we think he would begin his Conversation by an attempt that way?
A66386Now the question is, Whence this should arise, and what gave it this universal Acceptance and Authority?
A66386What Expression could thereby be given, suppose, of mens gratitude to God for their Being, and their Preservation?
A66386What an infinite number of intercurrent Passages must there be before it be brought in its proper season to its accomplishment?
A66386Will I eat the flesh of bulls, and drink the blood of goats?
A66386or whether it was by Revelation from God, and of his special Institution?
A66386whether the Invention of some Eminent Persons, suppose, in those early Times?
A66427After all, if so many Difficulties surround the Learned, what shall Women do, and such as only understand their Mother Tongue?
A66427And here I ask again, Whether every Bishop and Devine, that Debates and Votes in Council, be Infallible?
A66427And now to that Question so often asked, By what Authority we depart from the Faith of the Church of Rome?
A66427And so we are come, in the third place, to ask, How they came by a Power to make the Conclusion Divine, the Means being Humane?
A66427Are we not now in a fair way for Peace and Unity?
A66427But how can they pretend Scripture in this Case?
A66427But how shall they be ascertained that they have a true Copy of the Acts of that Council?
A66427But is a Council without him then Infallible?
A66427But though Scripture and Tradition are insufficient, perhaps Succession may make out this Matter; or else, why are we so often told of it?
A66427How must the Truth be cleared, and Peace be restored to Christendom?
A66427I ask therefore, Where this Infallibility is, that has been so much talked of?
A66427If he be asked, how he attains the right Sense of them?
A66427If he be asked, how he knows these Books to be Written by those Inspired Men, to whom they are attributed?
A66427If it be, what becomes of the Pope''s Supremacy?
A66427Is this Infallibility shared among them, so that every one has some?
A66427Secondly, if any body has it, where he, or they, are to be found?
A66427Suppose now we had the Scripture, and the Creeds from them, what follows?
A66427They ask farther, who is to be Judg of the Controversies and Reasonings between us?
A66427monstra tot perdon ● ta, post Phlegram impio Sparsam cruore, postque defensos Deos, nondum liquet de Patre?
A66427or, How they will make it appear to me, or any Man else, that they are endued with such a Power?
A66426And are all Inspired Persons no more to be credited than if they were Lunaticks?
A66426And because there are or have been deluded and brain- sick persons, are therefore none wise, or in their Wits?
A66426And if it be asked, How then is there a Revelation by Dream, when Revelation is supernatural, and a Dream natural?
A66426And the Lord said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth- Gilead?
A66426For how can it be suppos''d that Futurities should be dependent upon such sorry Accidents, or that the Divinity should thus reveal it self?
A66426Is it any Argument against the certainty of Sense, that it is often deceived and imposed upon?
A66426Or against Truth, that there are Errors and everlasting Disputes among Mankind?
A66426Or don''t they know themselves to be any more Inspired, than those that are agitated by the power of a wild Imagination?
A66426What doth he produce more than what may be the fruit of Imagination?
A66426When did Imagination give life to a Fly, or do the least Act out of it self?
A66426into what is it resolved?
A66426upon what doth it rest?
A66430And therefore how necessary is it for all now to hearken to Moses and the Prophets, to Christ and the Apostles, in this their Day?
A66430And why may not the one be as well impenitent, as the other an Infidel?
A66430Can it be supposed now, that one from the dead could more have prevailed upon him than this Scene of Judgments?
A66430Could it have come with so much terror?
A66430Is not here a living and present Testimony?
A66430Now could the Apparition of one from the dead do more than this?
A66430Now what comparison is there between the coming of one from the dead, and this case?
A66430Or if it should, may not the Sinner be alike obstinate and infatuated?
A66430Whence should this proceed but from the power of those Lusts and Vicious Habits they have contracted?
A66425And again, If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities: O Lord, who shall stand?
A66425And then how inexcusable must they be that disregard such a Testimony, or the matter it bears Testimony to?
A66425And what Good would it put us upon and promote?
A66425And what can be the issue of this, but augmenting their Debt, or that others by their Benefactions should prevent it?
A66425Are all these things wrote down in a Book of Remembrance?
A66425As to the Orphans; What a Number is there?
A66425But here is one come from the Dead, and what can be said then, if they believe not?
A66425How observant of our Words and Behaviour?
A66425If it was but taken into serious Consideration in the beginning of the Day, and reflected upon in the close of it, what Evil would it prevent?
A66425If the Thoughts of it did but intervene in the Spaces of our Business, how just and exact would it make us in our Dealings?
A66425If they did but after this manner reflect upon themselves: Is the Time coming, when whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap?
A66425What Care is there taken in their Education?
A66425What a condition then am I in, to appear before such a Judge, and such a Tribunal?
A66425What an Influence would this Doctrine of a Judgment to come have upon us, if firmly believed, duly pondered, and frequently thought upon?
A66425What remains therefore, but that those that are not under those necessities, should consider the case of those that are?
A66425Why should it be thought a thing incredible, that God should raise the dead?
A66425Why was not Christ shewn after his Resurrection to all the people as well as unto chosen Witnesses?
A66425when all that I have done, said or thought, shall be brought into Examination?
A33206And do not the Presbyterians forsake the Church of England for greater purity?
A33206But do you think that God will give them thanks for what they did, because of their good meaning?
A33206But how do they prove them Unlawful?
A33206But if any Man ask, Who is to be Judge of things Indifferent as to a Mans practice, whether his own Conscience or his Superior?
A33206But then how can Authority pretend to abridge private Persons of Judging, as to their own practice concerning Indifferent things?
A33206But what is it that they mean by this greater purity of Worship for which they Separate?
A33206But why should a Man disparage himself so much, as not to use that Understanding which God hath given him in matters that Concern his Salvation?
A33206Do they shew where God hath forbidden them?
A33206How then do they prove those things Unlawful to be done in Gods Worship, which God hath not forbidden either in the Law of Nature or Scripture?
A33206I proceed next to consider the Difference with respect to that common Question, Who shall be the Judge?
A33206The Difference with respect to that Common Question who shall be the Judge?
A33206Wherein doth this purity consist?
A33206against praying in an unknown Tongue; can they shew us any Text in all the Bible against praying by a Form of Words?
A66423And for what end is all this required?
A66423And where is that Society that he is admitted to?
A66423As to Almighty God, the words of the Psalmist become me to use, If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
A66423But how could this be, if there were not a Society to whom this Offence is given, and a Neighbourhood that could( generally speaking) observe it?
A66423How full are our Houses of Youth and Servants, and of others that have in some hours of the day little to do?
A66423How much Quiet and Comfort within doors, and how much Order without?
A66423Is it not when Assembled after the most Solemn and Conspicuous manner for the Worship of God, and for the testifying of their Communion in it?
A66423What a Reproach is it to see the Fields full and crowded, and the Churches too often scandalously thin on the Lord''s day?
A66423What a blessed change in the World?
A66423What our little Whole, comparatively to the Catholick Church now existent, and dispersed far and wide upon the face of the Earth?
A66402* When they do declare against a Plot for the Alteration of Government, is not that easily applied to the kind or form, or some main parts of it?
A66402Being further examined, How it came to pass that they condemned what their General did allow?
A66402But supposing this should be at the point of Death, may this then be practised?
A66402But what if he be put to his Oath?
A66402Did they do all this at their Death, and call God to Witness, and pawn their Souls to verifie and confirm what they said?
A66402If he urges again, and asks whether you did not Equivocate in your denying it?
A66402So saith Parsons d; When thou answerest to a Judg, that is incompetent, by Equivocation: If he ask, whether you Equivocate, or not?
A66402Suarez f answers, Where do you find, in the Acts of that Council, that it''s spoken of Princes excommunicate by the Pope, or degraded?
A66402Were these Principles never reassumed by them?
A66402What the Opinion of Mariana was touching killing of Kings?
A66402What the Opinion of Mariana was touching killing of Kings?
A66402When it was asked again, What they would do if at Rome?
A66402When they renounce Equivocations,& c. Did not Garnet and Coome do the same, and yet in the mean while did Equivocate or Lye?

A66402Whether Mariana held this problematically only?
A66402Whether and how Mariana was censured for it?
A66402Whether and how Mariana was censured for this?
A66402Whether any of the Jesuits besides Mariana were of that Opinion?
A66383According to this principle[ no Communion at all, if not in all] where shall we rest?
A66383And to put Religion in reading or uttering Words in a stinted or conceived Form, what is it less than Superstition?

A66383Is it better in regard of others, in regard of the publick, for the helping me in all my relations?
A66383Is not this to fill the Conscience with scruples, and the Church with rents?
A66383Let these men consider, that Christ is here feasting with his members; will they be ashamed to sit at meat there, where Christ is not ashamed to sit?
A66383So M r Brinsley, Suppose some just grievances may be found among us, yet are they tolerable?
A66383So when it s objected; How can we expect a blessing upon the labours of such though they preach truth?
A66383So when this Question was put, Are they not at all times obliged to use the means which are most edifying?
A66383Thus it is resolved also by one of a more rigid way, who puts this Question; Whether members of particular Churches may hear indifferently elsewhere?
A66383What opinion the sober and eminent Non- Conformists have of Communion with the Church of England?
A66383Will you say therefore that God approveth or consenteth to all these sins?
A66383how zealous were they against Separation?
A66383may it not help one way and hinder many ways?
A66383where Christ vouchsafes fellowship shall man renounce it?
A66381Again, where do they find a Command for Sitting at the Lord''s Supper, or so much as an Example?
A66381And how is that but by promoting Love, Peace, and Order, and taking Care to Preserve it?
A66381And if this be our danger, and Union as necessary as desirable, shall we yet make the breach wider, or irreparable by an obstinate contention?
A66381And where may we expect to find them better determined than in his Word, which is sufficient to all the ends it was writ for?
A66381How are we to determine our selves in the use of Indifferent things with respect to the Worship of God?
A66381I shall consider, How we may know what things are Indifferent in the Worship of God?
A66381Or, Whether there be any thing Indifferent in the Worship of God?
A66381This our Saviour condemn''d in the Pharisees, Why do ye Transgress the Command of God by your tradition?
A66381Where again do they find it required that an Oath is to be taken by laying the Hand on the Gospel and Kissing the Book?
A66381Whether a restraint of our Liberty in the use of such Indifferent things be a violation of it?
A66381Whether a restraint of our liberty in the use of such indifferent things be a violation of it?
A66381Whether a restraint of our liberty in the use of such indifferent things be a violation of it?
A66381Whether it be Lawful to separate from a Church upon the Account of promiscuous Congregations, and Mixt Communions?
A66381Whether things Indifferent, though not Prescribed, may be Lawfully used in Divine Worship?
A66381Whether things indifferent used in divine worship( or, whether there be any things indifferent in the worship of God?)
A66381Whether things indifferent used in divine worship( or, whether there be any things indifferent in the worship of God?)
A66381Whether things not prescribed in the Word of God, may be Lawfully used in Divine Worship?
A66381[ or, Whether there be any things Indifferent in the Worship of God?]
A66381and how shall we be resolved in the case, but by considering what the Law injoyns or forbids in it?
A28981And certainly if we must answer at the Last Day, for every Idle Word, how much more will that Account be exacted of us for every Idle Oath?
A28981And he that hath once fram''d mishapen Characters, be ashamed afterwards to write a Neater Hand?
A28981And is it then either the part of a Good Man to make Wishes that are unlawful, or for a Wise Man to frame Desires of which he need repent the Grant?
A28981And who would swallow Poyson, because obliged seldom to repeat his draught?
A28981And will you quench the Spirit, and refrain from being virtuous, lest men should think you know your self to be so?
A28981Besides, when did Transgression by President turn Innocence?
A28981But admit you could not own Repentance, without being fancied vain, must the fear of others sins continue( those that are immediately) yours?
A28981But admitting( as the dispersedness of this Vice too often forces us) the supposal of this Plea to be true, yet will the Inference prove consequent?
A28981For how would such dare to offend, that are sure to find no Countenance or Protection?
A28981For should God( as we are sure he may, and know not but that he will) give the Devil leave to take him at his word, in what a case were he?
A28981Have Innocence and Vice then so chang''d natures, that he that did not blush to commit sin, should blush to forsake it?
A28981I''m sure it should not be so; but grant it were, Will you pretend to Nobility, by that alone which is not the property, but the vice of Gentlemen?
A28981Is not yours a holy consequence, I have been wicked long, therefore I will continue so still?
A28981Lastly,( replies the Swearer) All this I confess to be very true; but what would you have me to do?
A28981Must then Vices be arguments of the possession of that dignity, that Vertue is the sole true means to purchase?
A28981Must then that Bashfulness which is both the Livery and Guard of Virtue, oppose our addresses to it?
A28981Nay, how often has Cleander in his Passion wish''d things, whose Accomplishment himself confesses would have made him miserable?
A28981To this I may reply in the terms of the Apostle, Am I therefore your enemy because I tell you the truth?
A28981True; but( may you answer) there are others that swear as much as I, and oftner; why then are not they more reprehended for more frequent Faults?
A28981Well,( may you reply) but I scorn to swear falsly; and what know to be true, why may I not safely swear?
A28981What Trifle could appear slighter than the eating of an Apple?
A28981Why must your Tongue fly in your Maker''s face, and vilify his Sacred Name, because your Dice turn up Size- ace rather than Quatre- trey?
A28981Will you rather let others sin by imitation of your bad actions, than in their misconstruction of your good ones?
A28981and entitle your self to that illustrious Quality, by that which, in God''s Eye, makes them unworthy( if not divests them) of it?
A28981and what was unlawful in the Act, become legitimate in the Repetition?
A28981how much more easy is it to make men condemn their Sins, than to persuade them to forsake them?
A28981how seldom does the silence of his Conscience make for the Swearer?
A66424And can any thing be of greater consequence than the things that are thus revealed, promised and secured?
A66424And now what is the issue of all this, but that we should reflect upon it, and reflect upon our selves?
A66424And what can we plead in our own defence, if at last we shall fall short of it?
A66424And when a Promise is thus left us of entring into his Rest, shall not we fear, lest we come short of it?
A66424But is there no relief in this case?
A66424But what should I wish for that which belongs not to the state in which we are?
A66424Can we have any thing more confirmed, than God bearing witness to the truth of it, with signs and wonders, and divers miracles?
A66424Can we have any thing more secured, which we have not in present possession?
A66424Can we think that so short a time of Rest, as the Christians had between Nero and Domitian, could be the subject of that Prophecy?
A66424For how could we who have defaced the divine Image, and been Rebels against God, and have forfeited his favour, think of being restored to it?
A66424Hath he said, and shall he not do it?
A66424Hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
A66424How could we that are corruptible, think that we should put on incorruption?
A66424How could we whose Souls are d ● praved and corrupted, think of being admitted to that state, whereinto no unclean thing can enter?
A66424How miserable must be the state of Mankind, if this be all that a Man has to enjoy, all that he has to comfort him in the enjoyment?
A66424Is there a possibility, a certainty of obtaining it?
A66424Is there now such a State, such a Rest to be had?
A66424Need we to be advised in this matter, in a matter of so great importance and absolute necessity?
A66424Now what sad Reflections are these?
A66424Shall I now need any farther arguments than what the Text affords, to make us cautious left we come short of this Rest?
A66424Where are the laboricus Studies, the Cares and Prayers of the pious and industrious Teacher?
A66424Where are the pilgrims and strangers that once wandred about, being destitute, afflicted and tormented?
A66424Where are the tryals of the cruel mockings and scourgings, of bonds and imprisonment of those, of whom the World was not worthy?
A66424Where is now the misery, the hunger and nakedness, the pain and anguish, the poverty and contempt of the once wretched Lazarus?
A66424Where is the right hand which was cut off, the right eye that was plucked out, the body that was buffered and kept under, and brought into subjection?
A66424Where is the strait gate and narrow way, the conflicts and strivings of the Self- denying Christian?
A66424Where the Ministry he has fulfill''d and made proof of in his Preaching, Reproving and Exhorting with all Long- suffering and Doctrine?
A66424nothing better to be expected?
A66424shall I need to press the Apostle''s Exhortation any further?
A66428& c. Was Elias the only true God?
A66428After all that has been said, where is the Evidence of these Mens Commission?
A66428And had he a Glory with Elias before the World was?
A66428And would it be Eternal Life to believe in Elias, as the only true God?
A66428Ask them again, how they prove the truth of their Doctrine?
A66428But if Voices be common, both to true and false Apostles, how can it be a proof of the truth of a Commission?
A66428But why should we wait the end of these two?
A66428Did Elias give him Power over all flesh?
A66428Did Elias give him the Work he was to do?
A66428Did Elias give him the words he was to give to his?
A66428Doth Christ immediately pour forth the Gift of his Spirit, or cure the Sick when thou prayest over them?
A66428For ask them how they prove their Commission?
A66428For do they say they were sent from God?
A66428For what is there they pretend to, which Impostors have not, or might not have pretended to?
A66428How many things are here taken for granted, which there is not a Syllable of Proof for?
A66428I shall consider what the Evidences are which they bring of their Divine Commission?
A66428It all rests upon their say so, but where is the proof?
A66428It is not then what they profess to reveal that is sufficient; but the point is, whether what they so profess is true?
A66428Now reconcile all this who can?
A66428What are the Evidences they bring; and whether they are not such as other Deceivers have alike pretended to, and even exceeded them in?
A66428Where is the Scripture, where the Miracles, that they prove their Commission, and their Doctrine by?
A66428Whether J. Reeve and L. Muggleton are the two Witnesses spoken of in the 11th of the Revelation?
A66428Whether John Reeve and Lodowick Muggleton are sent from God?
A66428Whether there are not as great Evidences against them, as they have against other Pretenders?
A66428Whether these are Errors or no, let all Men judge; and if so, what becomes of their Infallibility?
A66428Whether they are sent from God?
A66428Whether they are the Two Witnesses in the 11 th of the Revelation?
A66428and did the Apostles believe that he came out from Elias, and was sent by him?
A66428and how shall we thereby distinguish the true from the false?
A66428and were all Believers to be one in Elias and him?
A66428or doth he own thee in casting out Devils, by thy Word?
A66428was Elias in him, and he in Elias?
A66428what of their pretence to Divine Illumination?
A66372( if you will believe the Addresser) What is to be done?
A663721. that made all things?
A66372And how was he made Flesh, but by being united to it, and becoming Man?
A66372And then the pinching Question comes on, Where must I seek these Notes?
A66372And therefore where shall I be infallibly instructed in these matters?
A66372And what was his being made Flesh, but his being made of the Seed of David?
A66372And yet how shall I be Infallibly assured, first, that there ever was such a person as Pope Pius the 4th?
A66372And yet neither that Father nor any of the same mind with him( as who was not then, and who is not now, except the Church of Rome?)
A66372As for Example, what more plain, than that in Exodus 20. there is a 2 d Commandment distinct from the First?
A66372As what can be clearer, than that Christ had a Body of Flesh and Bones?
A66372First, I desire to know, Whether all things necessary to Salvation are contained in Scripture?
A66372For Example; Is the Belief of a Trinity, One God and Three Persons, necessary to Salvation?
A66372For how can I be saved, if I know not what is necessary thereunto?
A66372He answered, What is written in the Law?
A66372His next is, Where the Abrogation of the Saturday[ he means the Sabbath] is clearly expressed?
A66372His second Instance is of the Incarnation; of which he saith, Again, Is the Belief of the Incarnation necessary for Salvation?
A66372How readest thou?
A66372If it be, as the Creed of S. Athanasius ▪ assures us it is, in what Chapter and Verse of Scripture is it clearly expressed?
A66372If not, where must I seek them?
A66372Is it because she herself saith she is the True Church?
A66372Is it in every particular person?
A66372Is it in one particular person, or in a General Council?
A66372Is it that she is like a City upon an Hill, or the Sun in the Firmament, to be known by a self- evident Light?
A66372Is it to be found out by the Notes and Marks of the True Church?
A66372Lastly, Are we to find out the Church by an Infallible Guide?
A66372Lastly, what more clear, than that the Scriptures are able to make us wise unto Salvation?
A66372Must I suspend till I know, or till all the parts of the Church agree in it?
A66372Now be pleased to shew me in what Verse or Chapter it is clearly expressed, that the said words signifie a strict Incarnation?
A66372Or that Christ hath not spoken as plainly and intelligibly in the Scriptures, as his Vicar or Substitutes have in any of their Canons and Decrees?
A66372Or that this that I think, or am told, is the true and undoubted sense of them?
A66372Or( to speak modestly) How can I be as much assured of the Truth of these matters, as I am of the Authority and Sence of Scripture?
A66372Our Author at first put the Question, Whether all things necessary to Salvation are contained in Scripture?
A66372So when that Question was put to our Saviour, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
A66372What Church, for Example, were particular Persons bound to follow Two hundred years ago before the Reformation?
A66372What are these Necessaries to Salvation?
A66372What in reason will content him?
A66372What more plain, than that Prayer is not to be in an Vnknown Tongue?
A66372What more plain, than thou shalt not make to thee any graven Image, nor the likeness of any thing, to bow down before it, or worship it?
A66372Where is it clearly expressed in Scripture?
A66372Whether all things necessary to Salvation are clearly contained in Scripture?
A66372Whether all things necessary to Salvation are contained in Scripture?
A66372Who, and where is it?
A66372or that he ever composed such a Creed?
A66372or that the foresaid Supremacy of the Church of Rome is one of those Articles?
A66372will it not be necessary for the Salvation of my Soul to believe these two Mysteries?
A66372— Am I bound because my Guides tell me I must do so?
A66394And if so, why this diligent care to prevent and suppress it?
A66394And if there be, must not the case of that people be very lamentable that are wholly left to the ability and sincerity of their Priest?
A66394And is not the Reason as full against Prayers not inspired, when they are not understood?
A66394And that those Words and with thy Spirit, signifie nothing else — And what wonder is it, That in the Prayers the people do talk with the Priest?
A66394And where was then their attention and diligence, that to their lives end, either daily rehearsed it, or often heard it, and yet never understood it?
A66394Consider whether those Ends may be attained when the Worship is performed in a Tongue not understood?
A66394Fifthly, I shall enquire whether upon the whole, the publick Service of God ought not to be celebrated in a Tongue vulgarly understood?
A66394For if they plead for their Latin Service, as Greek was in Galatia, and Latin in Africa, who is their Adversary?
A66394For would we know what the Worship is they would have in an Unknown Tongue?
A66394For, saith S. Austin, what doth the soundness of Speech profit, if not followed with the Understanding of the Hearer?
A66394Furthermore, would they prove, that anciently the Christian Churches used not a Vulgar Tongue in Divine Service?
A66394How far is the Apostle''s prohibition to be extended?
A66394How far the Apostle''s Prohibition is to be extended?
A66394How is this a proof that they had their Service in an Unknown Tongue?
A66394How shall he that occupieth the room of the Vnlearned[ or Idiot] say Amen, at thy giving of Thanks?
A66394I shall consider whether these Ends for which Divine Service is appointed, can be attained, when it is performed in a Tongue that is not understood?
A66394I shall enquire, Whether the celebrating Divine Service in a Tongue not understood of the people, hath been the antient Rite of every Church?
A66394I. I shall consider whether it hath been an antient Rite?
A66394Let us consider, Whether the worship so performed, as to leave those Ends unattainable, will be accepted by God?
A66394S. Basil, who flourished about the year 370, putting the Question, How the Spirit prays, and the Mind is without Fruit?
A66394So that what more self evident, than that Ignorance is the Mother of Devotion?
A66394Thirdly, I shall enquire, whether the celebrating Service in a Tongue not understood by the people, hath been the antient custome of every Church?
A66394V. We are come to enquire, Whether upon the whole, the Service of God ought not to be celebrated in a Tongne vulgarly understood?
A66394What an injury to the Souls of Men?
A66394What are the Assemblies in which the Apostle condemns the use of an Unknown Tongue?
A66394What by the Assemblies, in which such an Unknown Tongue is forbid?
A66394What by the Service used in those Assemblies?
A66394What is meant by the Unknown Tongue, which the Apostle condemns?
A66394What need of such Decrees and Anathemas of Councils?
A66394What was the Service used in those Assemblies, and that was forbidden to be celebrated in an Unknown Tongue?
A66394Whether from the time of its having been a Rite, it hath been the Rite and Custom of every Church?
A66394Whether it hath been an antient Rite?
A66394Whether the Worship so performed as to leave those ends unattainable, will be accepted by God?
A66394Why this Severity?
A66394Why this out- cry against it?
A66394Would they farther shew that the Divine Offices,& c. were not of old so translated?
A66394and how unreasonable it is to expect they should be translated into the several Dialects of each Tongue?
A66394to Vratislaus of Bohemia) what reason is there for a general Convention of the Clergy of a Kingdom to proceed against a translation of their Missal?
A66431& c. If they did well, the Question is,( as it''s in the Discourse) On what Right that Oath is founded?
A66431& c. What can it be then less than Perjury and Apostacy to give any Countenance to such an open Violation of this Law?
A664312. Who shall be the Judg?
A664313. Who shall be the Judg?
A66431After this manner: For, had not God by his own Law setled the Government amongst them?
A66431And how would the People justifie their Separation with the Ministers, upon whom no such Obligations were laid, as on the Ministers?
A66431And may not all this be done, and the Fifth Commandment stand in its full force?
A66431And then the Question should be put, not who is the Judg, but whether there is any Judg?
A66431And then whether for the exercise of his Ministry, he may and is obliged to set up and maintain a separate Communion?
A66431And where was the Ecclesiastical Crime he was charg''d with?
A66431And will they interdict themselves its Communion, and break it in pieces, because they are thus injured, as they suppose?
A66431As now it will be asked, Wherein doth the Discourse misrepresent the case of the Jews?
A66431But are they Deprived by any Canons, or Canonical Censures of the Church?
A66431But how shall we know when it really is so, and when so in pretence?
A66431But to return to our Author, suppose the case be as he represents it, how comes this to necessitate a Schism with us?
A66431But to return to the Point, What, saith he, doth this want of being make a condition of Communion to us, quatenus Ministers?
A66431But where''s the Heresie?
A66431But who shall be the Judg, that is again, by way of Remedy?
A66431But why should that Author be obliged thus to have told us?
A66431Can a Prince take away what he can not give?
A66431For are those Diocesses and Clergy, who have their Bishops, equally involved in the same case with those that are deprived of theirs?
A66431For is he so obliged, that rather than not officiate, he may and ought to break off from Communion with the Church?
A66431For the Dispute is not, Whether an Oath be lawful or not?
A66431For what made Custom, Law and Constitution, but the Publick Good?
A66431For what reason would there have been for the Ministers Separation, if the Oaths had not been required of them?
A66431Grascome, Samuel, 1641- 1708?
A66431Had he any Right to the Empire?
A66431If in paying Tribute, why not in solemn promising to pay it?
A66431If that be the Consequence, what becomes of Nehemiah who served as Governour under Artaxerxes?
A66431Is it because these venerable Persons stand deprived?
A66431Is not the Deposition of a Bishop a Spiritual Censure?
A66431May Persons when grieved by the Secular Power, and deprived of their Livelihoods by an Act of Parliament, revenge it upon the Church?
A66431No Mean, but to let the Father cut the Throat of his Children, or that the Children must cut the Throat of their Father?
A66431Now I answer with Mason, Where was the Act of the Church, in the Deposition of Abiathar?
A66431Or why must it necessitate a Schism, when the Metropolitan and Bishops deprived, declare their Aversion to any such Separation?
A66431Or, did not the Senate and People swear to him at last, though he was in the Throne before, and a notorious Usurper of it?
A66431Or, did they notwithstanding, not submit to Alexander, and enter into his Service, and transfer their Allegiance to him?
A66431Or, who shall judg what''s fit to de done in such a case, by way of Remedy?
A66431This is a tender Point, and what he durst not touch upon: For grant that they had cause to separate, yet what would they do without a People?
A66431Though there be this obligation laid upon Ministers, yet what is this Political Security required of them, to their Communion with the Church?
A66431Thus far then we may go, we may swear to pay Tribute; but on what account?
A66431To the second, he gives a spiteful return: But is then a Case of Conscience really so trivial a thing?
A66431Vn Bishop and Vn- Priest men?
A66431Was it that Darius was any other than a de factó King over them?
A66431What is the publick Good?
A66431What is this publick Good?
A66431What now becomes of Succession?
A66431What of Jaddus and the Jews of his time with their Oath of Fidelity to Darius?
A66431What thinks he of the Oath of Jaddus to Darius, when yet he went over to Alexander?
A66431What thinks he of the Obligation to the Senate, as to the present Case?
A66431Where again doth the Discourse misrepresent the Case of Tiberius?
A66431Whether Ordination obliges such an one to the actual exercise of his Office, when forbid by the Magistrate?
A66431Whether a Refusal to give Security to the Secular Power for a peaceable behaviour, and Obedience, by Oath, may not be a sufficient reason?
A66431Whether there be any reason for those Scruples about the Oaths?
A66431Who would not pity this Writer of Controversy that can not see into the Connexion of an Argument for ten lines backward or forward?
A66431Why must this necessitate a Schism to all?
A66431as a Duty owing on the account of Protection?
A66431but, Whether this present Oath be so?
A66431how therefore can it be ascribed to Secular Powers?
A66431in calling God to witness that I do it?
A66431or had he at first any other Title than from the Pretorian Band and Legions?
A66431or that they did not swear Allegiance to him as long as he lived?
A66431that is, Either who shall Judg when the Publick Good is invaded, and when the Laws, Customs and Constitutions, are violated?
A66431where are any of all these Crimes, for which these our Bishops merit Deposition; or what just Censure of the Church hath pass''d upon them?
A664342ly, As to the Passover, he acknowledges they had a Rule, but then he adds ▪ What Rule, had they to determine them to a Kid or a Lamb?
A66434Again, Who in his wits will affirm that men may do what they reasonably judge sinful?
A66434And is not the custom of the Churches of God a reason as sufficient to conclude us in this matter as the grave and Civil customs of a Nation?
A66434And is this nothing toward the proof of it?
A66434And may not this Reverence and Respect we shew to the solemnities of Religion, and the Devotion we shew in external Worship redound to God himself?
A66434And not for his Thus, and the reasons given by him?
A66434And of God- Fathers in Baptism?
A66434And then what becomes of their argument for such and such practices and customs that they were Civil?
A66434And what is Idolatry but the giving Divine honour to that which is not God, or prohibited honour to the true and only God?
A66434As for postures what more scrupled and opposed than Kneeling at the Sacrament?
A66434But First why did not Synagogues want a Special Command as well as the Temple which he contends for?)
A66434But have they only some Forms relating to the Sacrament?
A66434But here let me ask them what it is creates a Decency?
A66434But how began that Prescription, whence arose that consent whether from chance or institution?
A66434But how may he pray naked in Regious assemblies( for we are speaking of publick Worship) can he say it''s sutable to the Solemnity?
A66434But however what hath he to reply to that which hath been many times said?
A66434But in answer to this, he asks, Why are such things express''d to us in this phrase, as, Not Commanded only?
A66434But suppose I am mistaken, how hath he mended the matter?
A66434But was there nothing else determined?
A66434But we read of no order for such Acts on their days of Fasting, were they not therefore Religious?
A66434First, he saith, As to Circumcision, what particular direction had the Jews?
A66434For what is Superstition but the dreading of that which is not to be dreaded?
A66434For what more precarious than to speak doubtfully( If they did) of that which yet is clearly evident they did observe?
A66434Have they nothing but Forms of Prayer, what then thinks he of Anniversary Festivals observed in the Helvetick and Bohemick Churches?
A66434How might they have changed them?
A66434If we take the Phrase as it is, yet there his Question, Why are they thus express''d, and not commanded?
A66434In Answer to this I shall consider what Natural Liberty is, and then what Liberty it is that the Apostle did treat of?
A66434Indeed what are all the outward acts of Reverence but expressing of Homage, Veneration and Adoration to God?
A66434Lastly, Are the things required unlawful because imposed?
A66434Might they do it as Apostolical Persons, or as Private Members of the Jewish Church?
A66434Now let us consider, what are the reasons why he can not possibly agree?
A66434Or rather did they not use them as they found them instituted and observed in the Jewish Church?
A66434Or that can do it?
A66434Or that there could be any Communion with those Churches, if any did otherwise?
A66434Or to ascertain the sense of it, than to shew that it''s always alike applied to such a case, or thing?
A66434Or what is it whence it ariseth, if it be found to be decent?
A66434So the Apostle calls their Table, the Table of Devils?
A66434Suppose then we put it to the question, Is Scripture alone a sufficient Rule for matters to be used in the Worship of God?
A66434Thus: How is that?
A66434Was there no Reason offer''d, no account given of it?
A66434We indeed read of no habit before the Fall, but is there nothing natural to man since the Fall?
A66434What fitter way have we to find out the meaning of a phrase, than to consider the several places where it is used?
A66434What is it that doth make things in themselves lawful and indifferent, to be unlawful in Divine Worship?
A66434What is that to Days and Hours, which the Scripture speaks of, and he contends against?
A66434What is this to the Forms used in their Service, which the Jews do write of?
A66434What of such, that when they grant Things Indifferent to be neither commanded nor forbidden, will yet say, that things not commanded are forbidden?
A66434What then shall we say to Capellus, that saith diverse of them have set Forms of Liturgies?
A66434What then?
A66434What to the Bohemian Churches that have also Forms in Singing of Humane Composure?
A66434What to their Formularies, as those of Holland and Switzerland?
A66434Whether in Case such things are determined, people may, without sin, obey?
A66434Whether in Case they make any such Law, the people may, without sin, obey them?
A66434Whether it be Lawful to separate from a Church upon the Account of promiscuous Congregations, and Mixt Communion?
A66434Whether the doing of any thing in the Worship of God without a command be a sinful addition to the Word of God?
A66434Whether there be any Authority in Church or State, to determine the things which God hath left Indifferent to his people?
A66434Whether things in their own nature Indifferent, though not prescribed in the Word of God, may be lawfully used in Divine Worship?
A66434Who ever affirmed it?
A66434Will those reasons justifie those very hours of the day, or the just number of three hours?
A66434b But in my mind there is a much nearer way to end controversies, which is not by disputing who shall be Judge?
A66434enquiry in the Tract aforesaid was, How we are to determine our selves in the use of Indifferent Things in the Worship of God?
A66434where is it?
A6637318. that we are to pray with all Prayer; why is that not possible by a Liturgy, when there are in it Supplications, Prayers, and giving of thanks?
A663732 d. Where is there such a naming of an Idol amongst us?
A66373And is it therefore Popish?
A66373And is therefore the Independent a Presbyterian, or this Author a Church- of- England- man?
A66373And why not these as well as others?
A66373And, We beseech thee to hear us, good Lord, twenty times?
A66373Are not they Protestants?
A66373As for Example, Where are their Crossings, Elevation, and Adoration of the Elements?
A66373As how?
A66373At what are the Jews scandalized?
A66373But do they adore the Aerial Cross?
A66373But is the Apocrypha so?
A66373But is this the truer for their saying so?
A66373But to say all in a word, What was this dissembling Hypocrite to those who were truly Pious Men, and acted faithfully according to the Light they had?
A66373But what is their Adoration( if it were) to us, that do not adore it?
A66373But what is this to those that are not obliged to practise them?
A66373But what is this which can not be practised without Sin?
A66373Do any he names dislike it so, as to think it unlawful?
A66373Do they dislike it so, as to make a Schism in the Church; or for it Separate from a Church?
A66373Do we use it to sanctify Holy- water, Bells,& c?
A66373First, saith he, How many odd and senseless Translations of the Holy Scripture have been found therein?
A66373For do we repeat in our Service, Good Lord deliver us, eight times: And Glory be to the Father,& c. ten times?
A66373For what need he to be beholden to another''s Observation, for what he that had thus read the Liturgy must have under his own eye?
A66373Had the Jews no Power to appoint or observe any thing relating to Worship without express Command?
A66373How can that be Essential, which is one of the alterable things meant in the Preface?
A66373How can this harden them, or lead thither, when there is nothing that the Papists more labour to possess the people with prejudices against?
A66373How can this harden them, or lead thither, which has been the means of banishing and keeping their Idolatry out of the Kingdom?
A66373How is he certain the Disciples did not kneel, but used the customary Posture in receiving?
A66373How then came the Feasts of Purim and Dedication, the Places and Houses of Prayer?
A66373If it be asked, Why then is the Book kissed?
A66373Is it that we receive our Prayer- Book from Antichrist?
A66373Is there any other Sacrifice than that of Thanksgiving offered?
A66373Lastly, To go no farther, Where are the O Holy Mary, Mother of God,& c. pray for us?
A66373Let such as have any hesitancy about this matter compare the Popish Missal,& c. with the English Liturgy, and they will be convinced, Of what?
A66373Nay, whence came the alteration of the posture at the Passover( which our Saviour complied with) contrary to the first institution?
A66373Now the Cross used in Baptism is an Aerial Cross, as he calls it; and where is the Object or the Worship?
A66373Now what natural Sign of Worship was in this Rite?
A66373Or whether what was forbidden to the Jews is forbidden to all People, And to Christians as well as they?
A66373Our Author saith, There have been Jusuits and Popish Intelligencers that approved of our Service, and Pope Pius 5 th would have ratified it?
A66373Should they have made a Mitre or Ephod, or other Ecclesiastical Garment of their own heads, they would have sinned greatly?
A66373Supposing it was to be understood of the Words, what''s that to Extempore Prayer?
A66373Supposing the Jews might not, what is that to us?
A66373That Beza notes, that in the Roman Liturgy, men are taught to cry, Jesu Miserere mei, no less than ten times one after another?
A66373The Question is not what they did, but what may lawfully be done?
A66373What are the Reasons why you judge it unlawful to be present at, or to partake in the Common- Prayer Worship?
A66373What is that, if there be no Idolatry borrowed with it?
A66373What may not be said in any case by such persons as these, that call this way of Devotion( as he doth) a taking God''s Name in vain?
A66373What reason have you to scruple the lawfulness of laying the Hand on the Book, and Kissing the Book in Swearing?
A66373What saith he to the Lutherans, who all use the like?
A66373Where the Chrism or Oyntment wherewith he anoints the Crown of the Head in figure of a Cross?
A66373Where the Oyl of Salvation,( as it''s call''d) wherewith the Priest anoints the Child''s Breast and Shoulders in form of a Cross?
A66373Where the Spittle with which the Ears and Nostrils of the Infants are touched with an Ephphatha, be opened?
A66373Where the change of Garments, their Purple and White Robe, that the Child is to carry unspotted before the Tribunal of our Lord?
A66373Where the lighted Candle put into the Child''s hand, that when our Lord shall come to the Wedding, he may meet him?
A66373Where their Intercessors, the Virgin Mary and Saints, that are to be found in the Cannon of the Mass?
A66373Where their Prayers for the Dead?
A66373Where their Solitary Communion, and Communion in one kind?
A66373Where their frequent Crossings of themselves, and of the Book?
A66373Where their material Crosses, and the Adoration of them?
A66373Whether an agreement with Idolaters in what was once used by them in Idolatry, becomes Idolatry, or be unlawful because it has been so used?
A66373Whether it''s unlawful to use any thing appropriated to the Worship of God by the Will of Man?
A66373Whether it''s unlawful to use any thing in the Worship of God that is appointed for the signification of Spiritual Duties by the Will of man?
A66373Whether that which has been used in Idolatrous Worship, may, if otherwise good and lawful, be used where the Worship is not idolatrous?
A66373Whether the Common Prayer be taken out of the Mass- Book; and be Heathenish, as well as Popish?
A66373Whether the Common- Prayer is taken out of the Mass- Book?
A66373Whether the being taken out of the Mass- Book, makes it unlawfull to be used or joyned with, tho it be good and lawful in it self?
A66373Whether the taking a Prayer out of the Mass- Book, be such a respect to it, as makes the Prayer to be Idolatrous?
A66373Whether, as in that, the Titles of some Psalms and Hallelujahs are omitted; or as in this, they are inserted?
A66373Why Jewish?
A66373Why doth he add Popish?
A66373Why so?
A66373Will the being taken out of the Mass- Book, make that Worship, which is otherwise good and lawful, to become unlawful to be used, or joyned with?
A66373and then the Question is, whether kneeling be unlawful?
A66373is it that we have a Liturgy?
A66373suppose there be this Conformity between the Papist and the Pagan; what is that to us, if we agree with neither?
A66373what Saint do we adore?
A66373what respect do we give to his Idol the Mass- Book?
A66373whether as that, The rod of the wicked cometh not into the lot of the righteous; or as this, resteth not?
A66373whether as that, they were not obedient to his word; or as this, they rebelled not against his word?
A66435After all this who but an Heretick, can believe otherwise than that he was Innocent, and died a Martyr, and is now a Saint?
A66435Again, Let him be asked, what he thought of Greenwell''s intention in it?
A66435Again, false Error shall vanish like smoke: and they which saw it shall say, where is it become?
A66435Again, what doth he mean by owning the real Plotters to be Villains?
A66435And have we not just cause to think this to be the reason, rather than what the Apologist doth offer for it?
A66435And is there any reason to believe the one or the other upon their bare affirmation?
A66435And might not this be the case in 1605, as well as it was in 88?
A66435And presently adds of his own, Did ever Writer, whether Priest or Lay- man, English- man or Stranger, own the real Plotters not to be Villains?
A66435And shall it be still a Mystery unrevealed?
A66435And was it not so reveal''d that some fled for it, and others that were taken, after an open Trial according to course at Law, were Executed for it?
A66435And whence was it that money was sent over to maintain it, as Garnet himself did confess?
A66435But is the death of that Gentleman so easily to be put up?
A66435But now what if this Man did indeed die of the Strangury?
A66435But the Question is, First, who are those he calls real Plotters?
A66435But what should hinder unbiassed and discerning men from being convinced?
A66435Could it be a coldness in their Religion, or that he really was of none?
A66435Could it be necessity, and this a course made use of to patch up his broken Fortunes?
A66435Could it lastly be from a doubtfulness of the issue, and a resolution to provide for his own safety?
A66435Deny it; how could they, since there was Powder, and Match discovered, and Faux was apprehended upon the Place?
A66435Did some of them fly and abscond for it then?
A66435Did there some confess then?
A66435For what more common then to send a Forlorn- Hope before, that are willing to venture their Lives and Fortunes, and who if they perish, perish alone?
A66435For what should induce him to so great perfidiousness?
A66435For, was there a Letter writ?
A66435How shall we give credit to them?
A66435If not, why is this so vigorously urged, and so much enlarged upon by our late Apologists?
A66435If they will say things so notoriously and evidently false, what may we not expect when a Plot is made out purely by the dint of swearing?
A66435If this had been true, what need he be so careful about it, what need he take such care for an answer to it?
A66435Is he charged with having writ Letters to Greenwell, and when he had denied it, required to give his answer upon the word of a Priest?
A66435Is he demanded whether Hall and He had conference together, and desired not to equivocate?
A66435Is it by calling them by hard names?
A66435Is it by writing Apologies and Supplications?
A66435Might it not be done for the connexion of one thing to another?
A66435Might it not be done to impose upon the Examiners, and to let them think that when they are so exact in the less, they will not let slip the greater?
A66435Might not that be so, and yet there be nothing of Sincerity and Conscience in the case?
A66435Now what reason have we to believe his silence beyond others protestations at their death?
A66435Or is it indeed a mystery yet unrevealed?
A66435This Garnet doth acknowledge, in a Letter of his, what should I do?
A66435Was it not plainly made out that this Gentleman was murdered, and that he could not both strangle and thrust himself through?
A66435What if there was a spring of Oyl broke forth suddenly in the place where Garnet was executed?
A66435What in the mean while doth he make of the Judges and the Jury, were they neither unbiassed nor discerning?
A66435What more common than to have a general notice of this, and to be willingly ignorant of the particulars( as hath been already observed?)
A66435What more ordinary than to raise and joyn Contributions, and covertly to convey it, so that it shall serve the Cause without hurting themselves?
A66435Whence came all these Prophecies of the confusion and misery that this Nation should be involved in upon the death of Queen Elizabeth?
A66435Whether if they did, their Conscience( as is pleaded) compelled them to it?
A66435Whether they did thus accuse their Confessors?
A66435and Prance that had an hand in his death did upon his apprehension also acknowledg it?
A66435is it that they do abominate the thing in words of the highest detestation?
A66435or if the Register spoken of, was only about Consults for that purpose, why was not that Book produced, as desired, for their Vindication?
A66435or shall they be neither, who do believe them to have been guilty upon the same Evidence which the Court was then satisfied with?
A66435or were they not drawn in at all, but the whole accusation a Fiction, and it no better than a seeming Plot, as one suggests?
A66435or, how much of it was confiscated and brought into the Kings Exchequer?
A66435saith Tacitus did) to have every thing a Mystery?
A66435that it was a meritorious Act to get a Straw or a splinter of his Bones, and keep them for Reliques?
A66435was there all the while no evil inclination of their own to work upon, and no mischief intended by them?
A66435was there reason to think the matter of the Evidence not to be sufficient, or the Persons giving it not to be of sufficient Credit?
A66435were they drawn in without their consent?
A66435what if he did die while his Wife and Servant were with him?
A66435why would he not receive them that I might have seen them, that so he might have obtained more favour for him and his Catholicks?
A6641310 ▪ But how doth he mould the Word of God into what Form he pleases, that understands that Figuratively which was Figuratively spoken?
A6641320?
A66413And if he reads the Protestant Answer again, he will find no occasion for those words, Where,& c. if this be it not?
A66413And if the same, how it could come from Heaven, when he was of the Seed of David, according to the Flesh?
A66413And indeed, thus St. Peter understood him, who concludes almost in the same words, Lord, to whom shall we go?
A66413And so he runs on to the Creation, and Incarnation,& c. I am a little at a loss here, to what cause our Authors mistake is to be assign''d?
A66413And to whom doth our Author speak when he thus Expostulates, Is it because our Saviour spake some things by way of Parable, that all he said was such?
A66413And where( to add another Where) will he find these literally in the words, This is my Body?
A66413And whether Christ who is perfect God, may not be intire in the Sacrament, and in many places at one and the same time, is the Query?
A66413And why did he not as sharply admonish him for offering to shew that the words might infer the conversion of Christ''s Flesh into Bread?
A66413Answerer was, what the meaning is of This, in, This is my Body?
A66413As how?
A66413But after all, what is this to the Argument?
A66413But doth it not matter whether St. Mark expresseth the words in order?
A66413But here he saith that the Answerer pretends not to prove by these Texts that the Body and Blood of Christ are not in the Sacrament, p. 24 Why so?
A66413But how doth he clear the Point, and shew they infer no such conversion?
A66413But what has he to accuse the Protestant Answerer of?
A66413But what is this to his Soul and Divinity; and to the literal sense of he that eateth me, and the Argument the Answerer prest upon him?
A66413But what need is there to go to the Church in this case?
A66413But what then?
A66413But what was the Parable he spoke?
A66413But what''s become of the Seeker himself, for this four Months past?
A66413But what''s become of the Soul and Divinity of Christ?
A66413But when Christ promised to be in the midst of them, did he promise to be there Corporally?
A66413But where is that perfidiousness, since no more is denied to Christ, than is to God?
A66413But where is this plain Scripture for the Door''s being a Parable?
A66413But where is this the opinion of the Protestant Answerer?
A66413But why all this, when he believes all the Scripture teaches, and reason it self justifies?
A66413But why did our Saviour repeat it?
A66413But, how these things could be thus applied to our Saviour without a Figure?
A66413Did he confirm the Literal sense?
A66413Doth he think these were before the Sacrament?
A66413Doth it not suppose the Absence of the thing?
A66413First, saith he, Let the Catholick Answerer tell me without a Figure, what is that meat which endures to Everlasting Life?
A66413For the Question is not, Whether a Spiritual Being may not be under the appearance of a Body?
A66413For what tho all the Evangelists agree that the words, This is my Blood; were then used by our Saviour?
A66413Had he no other way to get clear of his Adversary, but to fix this upon him?
A66413Has the Protestant Answer to the Seekers Request, broke these Measures, and forced them to think of another Expedient?
A66413He saith further, How could they be guilty of the Body and Blood of the Lord, v. 27. if the Body and Blood be not there?
A66413Here indeed he has put a Question, which I confess I should have been ready to ask; What''s this to the purpose?
A66413How Jesus is Bread, and the Bread that came down from Heaven?
A66413How can this man give us his Flesh to eat?
A66413How can this man give us his Flesh to eat?
A66413How mean and ridiculous is this?
A66413How one of his Church can talk of a literal Sense of,[ except ye drink his Blood], which denies the Cup to the Laity?
A66413How that?
A66413How the Bread and the Flesh of Christ could be the same?
A66413How the Son was sealed by the Father?
A66413How this?
A66413If bodily, I would fain know under what Form he is there?
A66413If this had been done, how meanly would it have look''d ▪ though he brought his 24 Texts to prove it?
A66413Is it because our Saviour spake some things by way of Parable, that all he said was such?
A66413Is not the Real Presence and Transubstantiation all as one?
A66413May not a man believe, unless he believes contrary to what he himself sees, and the Scripture teaches?
A66413Neither is the Question, whether an Object may be one thing to the eye of Flesh, and another to the eye of Faith?
A66413Now his Body was pierced, and Blood spilt at his Circumcision, followed by unspeakable Pains, restless Labours,& c. What his Agony in the Garden?
A66413Now, where is the fault?
A66413Now, who would not think upon this charge, that his Real Presence and Transubstantiation, are as inconsistent as Truth and Falshood?
A66413Or doth the Repetition of it without Explication shew it to be the Literal sense?
A66413Or in the Form of Tongues of Fire?
A66413Or is it perfidious to say, it''s impossible to make the circumscribed Body of Christ to be Omnipresent?
A66413Or that he never spake otherwise?
A66413Or why is he worse than Thomas, when Thomas would not believe unless he saw?
A66413Our Author readily answers, Ask the Question, What?
A66413Pray, saith he, how was his Body to be seen, Extended, Finite, and Circumscribed, when he pass''d through Walls and Doors that were close?
A66413So Jewish it is to question God, how he could do it?
A66413Surely he could not but understand that the How relates not to the manner, How these things be?
A66413This do: What?
A66413This do; What?
A66413This is( what?)
A66413To all these our Author returns a general Answer, As to his, How the Son was sealed by the Father, and the rest of his How''s?
A66413Was his Body Intire, Extended, Finite, and Circumscribed with Limbs, Bones, and Sinews?
A66413Well, how will he prove Christ intirely in the Sacrament?
A66413What did he confirm?
A66413What his being crowned with Thorns and Bloody Whipping at the Pillar?
A66413What is there he would have him believe?
A66413What of the Declaration he was in the Conclusion to make for the Catholick Faith of Rome, which we are now told of?
A66413What of the self- same Substance wherein he was born of the Virgin?
A66413What of the true Body, truly, really, and substantially contain''d under the Forms of Bread and Wine?
A66413What saith our Author to this?
A66413What saith our Author to this?
A66413What shall I say?
A66413What though Christ first gave thanks, and blessed it, before he gave it, if he did not also use the words of Conversion, before he gave it?
A66413What, saith he, is this to the Being, or not Being of the Body and Blood of Christ in the Sacrament?
A66413Where that the Bread and Wine are upon Consecration turned into the true Body and Blood of Christ?
A66413Where that the Bread and Wine are upon Consecration, turn''d into the True Body and Blood of Christ,& c. Which truly, are Where''s indeed?
A66413Where that this true Body and Blood is truly, really and substantially contained under the Forms of Bread and Wine?
A66413Where that this true Body and Blood?
A66413Where the insincerity?
A66413Where''s now the Resolution he was to come to?
A66413Where, When and How did Christ give us Bread to eat which should be his Flesh, if this be it not in the Sacrament?
A66413Where, says he, is there one word?
A66413Which are what he profess''d firmly and truly to believe by the same Faith he believes a God?
A66413Which if true, what need of Teachers?
A66413Will our Author venture to say, there is no more from Scripture to prove the Consubstantiality of the Son, than there is to prove Transubstantiation?
A66413in the land of Oberon?
A66413thought I, where am I now?
A66413which if fully resolved, will overthr ● w all his reasoning Ware besides?
A66413who would not think now, that the word Transubstantiation was abominated by him, and as little used in their Church, as it is in ours?
A66413— How came he through?
A664368.?
A66436All that he has to say to this, is, Will he deny positively and directly, that the Lord Christ is a God by Representation and Office?
A66436All the question is, who is the Lord that thus saith of himself, I am Alpha and Omega,& c?
A66436And besides, do n''t those Socinians that worship our Saviour, affirm that they worship him as God?
A66436And can any Divine Appointment make that not to be Idolatry, which in its nature is so?
A66436And do n''t they then equal him to God, when they pray to him?
A66436And he adds, May we not have such a Notion of an infinite Attribute?
A66436And how doth that differ from the modelling and changing all things in Heaven and Earth, to a new and better estate?
A66436And if any one should ask what is the difference?
A66436And is not that Idolatry, to give to a Creature the Worship belonging to the Creator?
A66436And then he smartly returns upon him, How, Sir, is that a good Consequence, or any Consequence at all?
A66436And then how comes he before to acknowledge the Truth of that saying of his Lordship''s, that we can not comprehend the least Spire of Grass?
A66436And to close the Objection, Do you not then give the like, nay the same Honour to Christ as to God?
A66436And what a presumption would it be in a Creature that had a beginning, to say of himself, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last?
A66436And what advantage could they have from him that was to come into the world for the Redemption of Mankind 4000, 3000,& c. years after?
A66436And what is it to worship him as God, but to give him Divine Worship?
A66436And when the Son is called God in Scripture, what is the difference between God the Son, and the Son that is God?
A66436And where doth the Absurdity lie?
A66436As if I would ask, What is an infinite Attribute?
A66436But I do not see how it follows, that if he is from himself, he must be before he was?
A66436But after all, is this a Misrepresentation?
A66436But his Grace saith, This Gospel was wrote against Cerinthus; and then, saith our Author, how came the Cerinthians to use it?
A66436But his Grace will say perhaps, Why?
A66436But how came that word Existence in?
A66436But how can the Being of a Creature be commensurate to all the several respects of Duration, past, present, and to come?
A66436But is no such person ever mentioned in Scripture, as God the Son?
A66436But is not Prayer a part of Divine Worship, and peculiar to God?
A66436But is not this to equal him with God, to whom alone we are taught to direct our Prayers?
A66436But may he urge, Do n''t you acknowledge the Son of God to be God?
A66436But what a v ● st solitude was there, a Chasm of 4000 years before his Birth and Being?
A66436But what do they understand by the Word, when the Word is said to be made Flesh?
A66436But what doth our Author mean?
A66436But what if those Proofs run no higher than Arianism?
A66436But what then will become of the other Evangelists?
A66436But where are those Texts that expresly say, that our Saviour ascended into Heaven before his Ministry?
A66436But where is the Contradiction?
A66436But why Some?
A66436But will he say, Is not this all one, when he that suffer''d and died, is, in our opinion, God as well as Man?
A66436Did never any Vnitarians or Socinians give Honour and Worship, a like and even the same to Christ as to the Father?
A66436Do we understand Infinity, a Spirit, or Eternity, the better for all this?
A66436Do you not pray to Christ?
A66436Doth the Archbishop reason from the Context?
A66436For Duration is a continuance of Time; but what Duration was there in Eternity, before there was any Time, or God began to operate and make the World?
A66436For if the Books that are the Text of it are so mangled, what certainty is there left about any part of it?
A66436For what Heresy is there in simple Poverty?
A66436For what Succession was there before the Creation of the World?
A66436For what doth he say, but what they have said before him?
A66436For what else is the effect of his Doctrine of Succession in God, and passing from one Duration to another?
A66436For would you know who those are that he proclaims War against?
A66436For, Might not the Jews then reply, So Abraham was before Adam, and so both Abraham and Adam were before the World?
A66436For, is there any word leaning this way?
A66436For, saith he, What makes him[ the Bishop] say, God must be from himself, or self- originated?
A66436Had he no way to defend his New Mysteries, but by espousing the Cause of the Atheists?
A66436Have there been no Christians in the World for 1500 Years, but only the Arians and Trinitarians?
A66436He demands, saith he, when did this Ascension of our Saviour into Heaven happen?
A66436How doth he argue against it from the Weakness of the Socinian attempts to prove it, and for which in effect they have nothing to say?
A66436How from the inconsistency of it with Scripture?
A66436How is the Scene changed upon this?
A66436How then can he say that his Grace can raise- the expressions no higher than Arianism?
A66436Is that Charge a Device of the Trinitarians?
A66436Let us suppose this, what is it then they deny?
A66436Must they be excluded out of the number of the Canonical?
A66436Now supposing it so to be, Why must it thus be supplied?
A66436Now the question will be, Whether St. John hath used them by chance, as our Author imagines?
A66436Now this is more than his Adversary charges them with: But what do they mean?
A66436Or was Socinus the first( for that( it may be) was his Grace''s meaning) who departed from the Arian and Trinitarian Sense of the Context?
A66436Or why may it not be said, Before Abraham was, I was in being?
A66436Or will it prove that the Gospel is a Valentinian, a Cerinthian, or Gnostick Gospel?
A66436Supposing it to be so*, what will follow?
A66436That is, Was''t thou coexistent with him, and born in his time, who has been so long dead?
A66436The first is,''That if God was for ever, he must be from himself; and what Notion can we have in our minds concerning it?
A66436This, I am sure is nothing to the purpose; for what is this to the Pre existence of our Saviour, the present subject of the Discourse?
A66436To this they captiously object, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
A66436To what purpose is this?
A66436What Eternity?
A66436What Service could he challenge from them, when he himself lay in the Embrio of nothing?
A66436What if Ebion at last is found to be a Person?
A66436What is a Spirit?
A66436What is it then his Grace alledges this Text for?
A66436What is the Word but the Son of God, and when the Word and the Son are the same, what is the difference between God the Word, and God the Son?
A66436What is this brought to prove?
A66436What more plain, if his Argument be true, than that there can be no personal Union between the Soul and Body, such distant extremes?
A66436Where is it expresly said in that, or any other Text, that our Saviour ascended into Heaven before his Ministry?
A66436Where the Angels and Heavenly Powers that were put under his direction, and by him employed in defence and succor of the faithful?
A66436Where was the Paganism and Idolatry he in that dismal Interval abolished?
A66436Who are the Ancient Unitarians, that our Author at all times speaks so venerably of, and that thus rejected the Books usually ascribed to St. John?
A66436Whom makest thou thy self?
A66436Why so?
A66436Will it prove Cerinthus to be the Author of that Gospel?
A66436Would this prove what was to be proved, That he that was not fifty years old, had seen Abraham, or that he was Co- existent with Abraham?
A66436and in what a condition was the whole World of Intelligent Beings, till our Saviours Resurrection and Ascension?
A66436and yet knew not the time or day of Judgment?
A66436p. 57. which he more largely prosecutes, p. 64,& c. What saith our Author to this?
A66432''T is this, If I must know the Church by some Marks, then I must find out those Marks first; and where must I seek them?
A664321?
A664322 d Branch, What Text of Scripture exacts of us the keeping the Sunday holy?
A6643229?
A664322?
A664325. Who is he that overcometh the World, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
A66432Am I bound to believe( the sense given to a doubtful Text) because my Guides tell me I must do so?
A66432And can he say any thing to the contrary?
A66432And doth this detract any thing from the perspicuity of Scriptures?
A66432And here it would be fit to know when this abrogation did commence?
A66432And the question then is, Whether the Abrogation of the Mosaical, was not also the Abrogation of the Patriarchal Circumcision?
A66432And then he Triumphs, What can be( I will not say more dull, but) spoken more directly in spight of Sense and Reason?
A66432And what are those Marks, and where must I seek them?
A66432And whether is that Guide to be sought for within the Church, or without it?
A66432And whether they all agree in this matter?
A66432And why so?
A66432As for example: Suppose a doubt ariseth about this deciding Church- Authority it self, how shall the doubt be decided?
A66432As for example; if we ask, Whether the Scripture be their whole Rule of Faith?
A66432As he saith, There is no Salvation out of the Church, who doubts of it?
A66432Bread is of very good use to preserve Life, and enables a man to perform all the duties of it; is therefore nothing else necessary?
A66432But admit this, saith he, What then?
A66432But after all, was there not one word in the Answer as to the Vnity of one Person, uniting these two Natures?
A66432But did it otherwise appertain to the Law of Nature, than as it was of Divine Institution?
A66432But in the name of sense and reason, what means all this?
A66432But is not this promise made to particulars without any mention of the Church, that he is to learn it from?
A66432But is there no other way to give the Sense of these Texts?
A66432But to what purpose, if Moses and the Prophets were not to be understood by them?
A66432But what then did he and others hold?
A66432But what then?
A66432But where are they that thus pretend?
A66432But why so surprized?
A66432But, saith he, Were not the Proselytes of St. Paul obliged to believe the Sense and Interpretation he gave to the Text?
A66432But, why is this called the first Question when there are several before it?
A66432Can he have any plainer proof, than from the things contained therein?
A66432Do you ask that?
A66432For what has doubtful Texts to do with the Case, where there are no Texts concerned?
A66432Hath he Scripture for this?
A66432Hath he any to expound the other Text?
A66432Here plain and full Scripture will be of great use; we may expect shoals of Texts: What answer from Scripture is given to this Question, think you?
A66432His third Proof is this, Christ sent the young man who put that Question to him, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal Life?
A66432How doth it appear that he read not also the Books of the New that were then extant, of which there were many?
A66432How readest thou?
A66432If any man will do his will, he shall know of the Doctrine, whether it be of God?
A66432If the Church be to be an Infallible Guide, when it''s found out; then what is the Guide that will infallibly lead to the Church?
A66432If the Church, then how shall I know it?
A66432If the Incarnation be the Union of two Natures in Christ, the Word, and this was rightly inferred from what went before; then what shall I say?
A66432If the Notes, where must I seek them?
A66432In the first of these places, our Saviour upon the Question put to him, Master, What shall I do to inherit eternal life?
A66432Is it asked again, Whether there are no new Revelations, no new Articles received as of Catholick Faith?
A66432Is it because She her self so declares?
A66432Is not this special Logic?
A66432Is not this special Logic?
A66432Is the mystery of the Incarnation of Christ clearly exprest in Scripture?
A66432Is this He that said he would set down the Answerers Proofs in due Form?
A66432It is agreed, that there is a Church, and that there are certain Marks by which the Church may be found: Now the Question is, What are those Marks?
A66432Let this pass; What then?
A66432May they agree in one?
A66432Not on Saturday?
A66432Not on Saturday?
A66432Now how shall we know, or where shall we find, which of these are the Marks belonging to the Church, and by which it is to be known?
A66432Now what Conclusion can be drawn from this Text to our present purpose, but one, in one of these two forms?
A66432Now what is the Sense of the Question, Where must I seek them?
A66432Now, which is to be found out first, the Marks or the Man?
A66432Or else, what Texts declares the Three Persons to be One by identity of substance?
A66432Or is She to be found out by Marks?
A66432Or that She is knowable by a self- evident Light?
A66432Or what Scripture have we for the Divine Institution of it?
A66432Or, How shall I come to know them?
A66432Or, The Profession of the true Faith, right Administration of the Sacraments?
A66432Or, was it only some peculiar day of the year, as Easter- day, or Good- Friday?
A66432Or, was it then so a Memorial of what was past, as not to be a Shadow of somewhat to come?
A66432Q 4''T is in its whole extent this; By what Text of Scripture are we plainly taught that God is One in Substance, Three in Person?
A66432Raillery aside, what can be( I will not say more dull, but) spoken more directly in spight of sense and reason?
A66432Replies, What is written in the Law?
A66432That is, But those who build upon the sand, who doubts that they shall not possess the Kingdom of Heaven?
A66432The Question is, What day of the Week that was in the Revelation?
A66432The main Question in the Answer was, How shall I find out the true Church?
A66432The second, What Text of Scripture exacts of us the keeping holy( as the Lords day) the Sunday?
A66432There is a Lords day, no doubt; St. John was in spirit that day,''t is certain; but the question is, What day of the week was it?
A66432This is the whole of what the Answerer said upon this place; and now with what Conscience could our Author charge this following Consequence upon him?
A66432Those that make Scripture to depend upon the Church; or those that make the Church to depend upon Scripture?
A66432True, but what follows?
A66432Unless you eat the Flesh of the Son of Man, you have no Life in you; The Jews, who said, how can this man give us his Flesh to eat?
A66432Was there not one word of Answer returned to this Question?
A66432Well, what is this Logical Inference?
A66432Were they not oblig''d to believe the Sense and Interpretation He gave to the Text?
A66432Were they not obliged to believe the Sense and Interpretation he gave to the Text?
A66432What are the necessaries to Salvation?
A66432What are these Necessaries to Salvation?
A66432What follows?
A66432What has he here to say?
A66432What hath the Prover to say to this?
A66432What is written in the Law?
A66432What means he?
A66432What pitiful shifts are these?
A66432What proof would he have of this?
A66432What reason is there for this charge?
A66432What saith the Prover to this?
A66432What saith the Prover to this?
A66432What seemingly more Orthodox, and spoken more like a Protestant?
A66432What then did he write against?
A66432What thinks he of the place the Answerer had his eye upon?
A66432What those Necessaries to Salvation are, that are not contained in Scripture, and where each of them is to be found?
A66432What use can be made of this accurate Observation, and the stress he lays upon daily; What but this?
A66432What''s this to the containing of all necessaries to Salvation?
A66432Whence is it that all o''th''sudden he is in so good a humour, and so forward in his allowances?
A66432Where are they described?
A66432Where is the Seat of Infallibility in the Church, whether in every particular Person, or the Supreme Pastor, or a General Council?
A66432Where?
A66432Whether Continual Succession, Vniversal Extent, Vnion under one Visible Pastor,& c.?
A66432Whether all things necessary to Salvation are clearly contained in Scripture?
A66432Whether all things necessary to Salvation are contained in Scripture?
A66432Whether what they disagree in can be the Sentiment of the whole Church; or that we are hound to believe what they can not agree in?
A66432Which has the first and Supreme Authority, the Scripture or the Church?
A66432Which is to be sought for first, the Notes, or the Church that is to be found out by these Notes?
A66432Why an English Translation?
A66432Why is not the Address or Answer to it, so much as named in the Title?
A66432With what Confidence can the Prover thus impose upon the Reader?
A66432Would he have Texts to prove the Father, the Word and Holy Ghost, to be three Divine Persons?
A66432Would he not be made much the Wiser, by this grave Reply; and forthwith be able to find out the Man he seeks for, by this goodly Direction?
A66432Would it not force a Smile to have this Answer?
A66432how readest thou?
A66432or was it only some peculiar day of the year, as Easter- day, or Good- friday?
A66432or why Apocryphal?
A66432what has he to say to that little Reason that there is?
A66414& c. But if it were Popish Jesuits that were thus challenged by the Pulpits, then why is the Title, the Character of a Pulpit- Papist?
A66414& c. from age to age, even to that infamous one in the last age here betwixt the Seculars and Regulars?
A664143.8,& c?
A66414A Papist is one, What?
A66414And are we to believe them, although they teach contrary to sense and reason?
A66414And do not the Protestants think as ill of those points he owns, as of those he disclaims?
A66414And doth he think the Doctor obliged, rather to give him thanks, than quarrel, for his not inserting this part of his Discourse?
A66414And if these were set aside, would the Church of England and Rome be one?
A66414And if they find us in all things like the rest of Mankind, without more horns and heads, then who are the Misrepresenter?
A66414And is it not reasonable he should allow the same Law to others he is forced so frequently to plead in his own defence?
A66414And is there no such thing as compelling such Secular Powers to exterminate those Hereticks out of their Dominions?
A66414And might it not as well be said, A Papist is one that writes Representations, and Good Advices, and Pulpit- Sayings?
A66414And setting aside Bellarmin for the present; Is there none of his gross Doctrine to be found elsewhere?
A66414And were there never any Christians engaged in Blood upon pursuance of those Laws?
A66414And were there never any such things deliberately and with Counsel perpetrated amongst them?
A66414And what does this signify to these parts of the Service, which are not of that kind?
A66414And what doth he bring to confirm it, but, it is the Papist I am?
A66414And what makes them our Prayers, but Attention to the Words and Sense?
A66414And what more common in Indulgences, than a promise of Remission, and plenary Remission?
A66414And when he has thrown the Cover of Pulpit- Popery over it; yet why must he needs add, with All the scandalous Doctrines the Pulpits charge?
A66414And where is it that the Church in his notion, appoints, assigns, and inflicts them?
A66414And why not as well as pray to them?
A66414And why not set out by the King, Lords and Commons in Parliament?
A66414And why should not this Priviledg be allowed of retorting in the same way?
A66414And will he deny that they are Representers, and to be applied to as if the Objects Represented were present?
A66414Are not the same things in Books of Controversy; and are they not there more fully explain''d and debated?
A66414Are not these the Doctrines of the Church of Rome?
A66414Are there no Prayers?
A66414As that which representeth is truly said to be the thing which it representeth?
A66414At what rate?
A66414But are the Pastors we hear, all Infallible in their Teaching?
A66414But do they no otherwise desire the Intercession of Holy persons in Heaven, than they do those in Earth?
A66414But first of all, what saith he to the general Proposition, That they must wholly submit their Reason to the Infallible Judg?
A66414But has the Doctor prov''d nothing but the Practice of Indulgences?
A66414But how come they of the Church of Rome to start this charge of Misrepresentation, who are of all Churches in the world the most guilty of it?
A66414But how comes this to be more the plain import of the Words, than what immediately precedes?
A66414But how doth this Answer the Apologist''s Arguments to the contrary?
A66414But how will he prove it?
A66414But however, it is in their Bibles, but what is this to those that have not the use of the Bible permitted to them?
A66414But if he will be at his Characters, how come particular matters of Fact to belong to a Character?
A66414But if it be but Pretence, why has not the Sayer expos''d him, and run down the Instances of St. Benedict, Francis, Ignatius Loyala?
A66414But if some Pulpits have misrepresented them in some cases, what is that to the Pulpits in general?
A66414But is there any History of Scripture that tells us God did so appear in any Form, otherwise than in a Prophetical Scheme?
A66414But is there in the Mass nothing but the Oblation, nothing but Action?
A66414But supposing they have as good Authority, as what they can produce for the Legends of their Church; will it not be as Authentick?
A66414But was this all the Apologist had to say in defence of the Preacher?
A66414But was this all the Apologist undertook?
A66414But what if it be not the common acceptation of the word, but that it''s taken vulgarly for foretelling things to come?
A66414But what if it was the common acceptation of the word, if not the acceptation the Apostle takes it in, in that place which the Preacher refers to?
A66414But what if the Priests do not understand?
A66414But what saith our Author to these prodigious numbers of years?
A66414But what''s become of the Christus in Imagine, in Curtius?
A66414But what''s become of the former method observed in his Good Advice?
A66414But when shall it pass for Authentick beyond Exception?
A66414But why doth he instance in Missals translated for Vulgar use?
A66414But why doth he now call[ the enjoyning of a Prayer in a Language unknown to the People] a supposed Principle?
A66414But why doth not the Doctor understand their Doctrine or Practice?
A66414But why only?
A66414But why so, doth not Poenitentia signifie Repentance?
A66414But why so?
A66414But why the Pulpits?
A66414But will he say, What is this to the purpose?
A66414But, what saith our Author to the Charge?
A66414But, why all this?
A66414Could he bear up to them, and tell them it''s Infamous, that they are no Christians, and have no right to Salvation?
A66414Did ever the Pulpits talk at this loose and sensless rate, so as to draw Characters from a particular Fact?
A66414Did he not refer to their Doctrines and Penances, and the Taxa Camerae Apostolicae in confirmation of it?
A66414Did the Pulpits Try, Condemn, and Execute?
A66414Did the Pulpits pass Votes, and make Acts, and sign Narratives?
A66414Did the Pulpits set forth Proclamations?
A66414Did the Pulpits take the Depositions and Examinations?
A66414Did the Pulpits, lastly, ordain Fasts, and require publick Solemnities to be observed?
A66414For it''s still a question, whether Sin is not pretended to be forgiven by Indulgence?
A66414For the Question is, what is Popery, and whether the Pulpits have truly represented it or not?
A66414For what are Prayers in publick but the Words and Sense?
A66414For what then serve their Boxes, and why is it call''d a Seal?
A66414Has he not also prov''d beyond Exception, that Gain is made of them?
A66414Has our Author at last got possession of the Keys of the Inquisition, and can he bring even Popes,& c. before his Bar?
A66414Has the Church then such an Organical voice to speak, as we have Ears to hear?
A66414Hath not the Doctor further prov''d, that by this course, they compound with Heaven for their Sins?
A66414Have they no Councils, no Laws that touch upon this point?
A66414How not be prest?
A66414How so?
A66414How will our Author salve this difficulty?
A66414How would he behave himself in the Company of Cardinal Capisucci, who maintains that the Worship is to the Image?
A66414How?
A66414If a Malefactor be sure of a Pardon, after he has committed the Crime, it''s as to himself the same, as if he had a Dispensation before- hand for it?
A66414If he doth, why has he not bestow''d a little of his pains in chastising the Apologist?
A66414If it be expunged elsewhere, to what purpose doth he refer us to the Bible and Catechisms?
A66414If it was, as our Author can not deny, then why may not we take the Character of a Papist from such an age, as well as the Age or Place where we live?
A66414Is it because it''s called whispering?
A66414Is it because of the easiness of it?
A66414Is it in the Vnlading?
A66414Is it not enjoyned?
A66414Is it therefore understood by the People?
A66414Is that all?
A66414Is that an Abuse of their Church?
A66414Is there no Confiscations of Goods, Imprisonment, no Death for such as are obstinate?
A66414Is there no such thing as Excommunicating and Anathematizing Hereticks among them?
A66414No delivering over persons so convicted and condemned, to the Secular Power?
A66414Now in which judgment of these ought I to acquiesce?
A66414Now what is this matter of Fact, and where is this Demonstration?
A66414Now who would not have expected that he would have spent a few Lines in disproving these Authorities?
A66414Now, saith our Author, would not a School- boy have been scourged for such a sleeveless frivolous excuse?
A66414Or are the Pulpits to enquire into all Facts, and to give no Credit to the Reports, or no Obedience to the Orders of Superiors concerning them?
A66414Or how comes our Author to continue it, who neither durst so much as vindicate others or himself when convicted of it?
A66414Or how is it that what belongs to a particular fort, is applied to the whole?
A66414Or is Penance truly any other than Repentance?
A66414Or, why not from another Country, as well as from our own?
A66414That it be Authentick beyond Exception?
A66414That that Church is Infallible?
A66414Their avowed Principles are to keep the People in Ignorance?
A66414To this our Author replies, Might not a Jew here step in, and with this Argument pretend, that Christ crucified was another shew upon Calvary?
A66414Was ever this the State of the Papacy?
A66414Was it out of favour to the Doctor, that this was not repeated?
A66414Was there never no Tearing or Destroying elsewhere?
A66414What Reply doth the Sayer make to this, for his own, or his Friend Mr. Pulton''s, or his Church''s Vindication?
A66414What Schisms have there been in that Church- Authority?
A66414What a mustering up of Misrepresentations, Calumnies and Abuses?
A66414What arguing in Defiance to their own Conscience?
A66414What is pressing if the Dragoons of Orange be not?
A66414What is that to our Church?
A66414What is the proof he expects?
A66414What is there then amongst all that List of Pardons( as he calls it)?
A66414What of the five Cautions?
A66414What of the twenty- eight Assertions extracted out of the Sermons, as instances of their foul Misrepresentations?
A66414What thinks he of the Church of Rome?
A66414What thinks he of the many points I find in the same Sermons he quotes, that he civilly passes by?
A66414What thinks he, if the Pope should declare the right Hand is the left, are they bound to believe it?
A66414What to the Allegations from their own Historians?
A66414What to the use made of it in intruding into the Secrets of States and Families, and to work their Projects?
A66414What work is here for a Protestant Representer?
A66414What''s think he of meriting by believing an Heretical Proposition taught by his Bishop?
A66414What, as false?
A66414What, because he saith those pretended to in the Church of Rome are supposed?
A66414What, if not the Inquisition at Goa?
A66414What, if not the Prison of Bourdeaux?
A66414What, is their Auricular Confession, as it''s described from the Council of Trent in the Apology, an Institution of the Church of England?
A66414Where are we to expect the Answer to what the Apologist there produced in Confirmation of it?
A66414Where the Acceptance, when there is neither Attention or Devotion?
A66414Where then is the Calumny and Misrepresentation?
A66414Where then is the Devotion and Attention, when there is no Understanding?
A66414Whether the latter be true, will remain to be considered under the next Character; but what will a Reason signify against Matter of Fact?
A66414Which doth he think would there be the Misrepresenter, our Author that Dooms this to the Pit of Hell, or those that defend it?
