| A85746 | A question may be made, why the Apostles call''d the Pastors, ordained by them, by the name of Presbyters? |
| A85746 | And afterward, If we have sowen unto you spirituall things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnall things? |
| A85746 | And again in another place; What is the Bishop, but the Prince; and the Presbyters, but his Counsellours? |

| A85746 | Why so? |
| A85746 | Why then is the Letter sent to One in every Church, if no One had a peculiar and eminent Function? |

| A17865 | to make eating of flesh in Lent( a thing of it selfe indifferent) to bee a sinne? |
| A17865 | what contentions are there? |
| A17865 | what may those points of doctrine be, that are not handled in the Scripture, for being silent in which, the Scripture is termed imperfect? |
| A17865 | what the proofes of the right of the Church? |
| A17865 | what the title? |
| A17865 | what then the Lord shall not hee keepe his promise, and shall not hee bee justified when hee speakes? |
| A17865 | what then, do they refuse to be Iudged? |
| A17865 | wherefore then cast they this reproach rather on the sacred word, then the Church? |
| A17865 | who amongst them all dare vndertake to make a catalogue of any such points? |
| A17865 | who shall determine them in the meane while? |
| A17865 | who shall resolue them? |
| A17865 | why do wee desire that he should giue vs a Vicar, a substitute, since wee haue his decree, and acknowledge that hee hath pronounced it? |
| A17865 | why shall wee say, vnder a pretext that they are dead, that they speake no more? |
| A17865 | will the consciences of them bee shaken, that beleeue and receiue this opinion of the obscurity, ambiguity, and insufficiencie of the Scriptures? |
| A17865 | will they not be found( if we beleeue the allegations) to be dumbe, ambiguous, obscure, imperfect proofes? |
| A17865 | would wee know what the judgement of God is, what the testimony of the Prophets, and Apostles are concerning that doctrine? |
| A41774 | 1, 2, 3. do not as much prohibit one man for having two Wives, and one woman for having two Husbands? |
| A41774 | 12. must have none of these high priviledges allowed it; Is not this a most peccant Assertion? |
| A41774 | 15. did they not assemble the Church, and so pronounce Sentence conciliariter, with a visum est Spiritui sancto& nobis? |
| A41774 | 7,& c. Do you not here tell us plainly, That God must take up our quarrels* AS he did those of Moses? |
| A41774 | 7. be not clear Texts that the holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son? |
| A41774 | Also, whether Infant- Baptism was so much as heard of in the first hundred? |
| A41774 | Also, whether Rurgatory, and the Real Presence, as you hold them, is not plainly destructive to some Articles of the Christian Faith? |
| A41774 | Also, whether a Church, whose gathering, constitution and government is answerable to the Scripture, be not the true Church of Christ? |
| A41774 | Also, whether it he not absurd for you to ask for clear Texts to prove unwritten things? |
| A41774 | Also, whether there be any that hold the first day under the notion of a Sabbath among the Baptized Churches? |
| A41774 | And I asked you, If you would not scorn us, if we should call upon you to appeal unto us as your Judges, Whether we, or you, be the Church? |
| A41774 | And I have asked you, How you will effect this difficult work? |
| A41774 | And now, how are they turn''d again to Prelacy? |
| A41774 | And now, is not this my Observation very pertinent to our case? |
| A41774 | And now, what can supply this our necessity? |
| A41774 | And then I ask, are they not as questonable, and liable to mis- interpretations, as easily mis- understood as the Records of God? |
| A41774 | And then I still ask you, why we may not as well agree our selves this way by the Volumns of the Prophets and Apostles? |
| A41774 | And truly otherwise I might( as you foresaw) very possibly tell you, that your Allegation was nothing to the Question, Who must take up the quarrel? |
| A41774 | And whether her Cup was not universally received, so that all Nations were drunk thereby? |
| A41774 | And whether humane Histories( especially those of the first three hundred) after Christ, were not most, if not all, burnt, which concerned the Church? |
| A41774 | And whether the Churches of the Baptists do not therein exceed all other whatsoever? |
| A41774 | And whether the Papists have not confessed in many of their Books, that Infant- Baptism is not found in, nor grounded upon the Scripture? |
| A41774 | And whether the Scripture doth not prohibit all beside that one? |
| A41774 | And whether the Woman that John saw, was not Rome? |
| A41774 | And, can we think that Succession to be good which is derived from Devils? |
| A41774 | And, whether there be not as clear Texts to prove unwritten Tradition, Purgatory, and the real Presence? |
| A41774 | Are not these Monstrous Consequences? |
| A41774 | Are not these People kept in darkness? |
| A41774 | But I Answer, How shall this be proved to be the Creed? |
| A41774 | But I ask once more, To what purpose did you bring them? |
| A41774 | But how must we be assured of the truth of the Papal Church, and Tradition? |
| A41774 | But is it so? |
| A41774 | But saith Paul, How should the unlearned say, Amen? |
| A41774 | But what? |
| A41774 | But you say, Reason is on my side,& c. and demand by whom we must be tryed, who must take up the quarrel? |
| A41774 | Can any thing be said more unworthily? |
| A41774 | Can not the Pen of Peter the Apostle give us as good information in this matter, as the Pen of any Pope, pretending to be his Successor? |
| A41774 | Did not Christ himself send St. Paul to Ananias for instruction? |
| A41774 | Did not some conceive as gross opinions concerning Christ''s saying, men must eat his flesh, as some have by reading them? |
| A41774 | Ergo, we must all appeal to the Papal Church of Rome, as our Judge, in this Question, Whether we be of the Church, or not? |
| A41774 | Ergo,& c. What a prodigious minor have we here? |
| A41774 | First, Cyprian saith, How can we exhort the People to shed their blood for Christ, if we deny them the Blood of him? |
| A41774 | For, are not these your words? |
| A41774 | Hath God rejected Infants wholly, that now he will not shew them so much favour as afore- time? |
| A41774 | How can they defend themselves? |
| A41774 | How do they know that a Heathen may, by the Law of Conscience, judge their Church to be more holy than ANY other Congregation of Christians? |
| A41774 | How know you precisely what is the true Word of God? |
| A41774 | How know you that your Copies and Translations of the Bible are the true Word of God? |
| A41774 | How often hath our Nation changed their Religion, with the breath of a Prince? |
| A41774 | I perceive our Judgments differ concerning the living voice of the Church, what it is? |
| A41774 | If so, why may not we? |
| A41774 | If you are not so sent, to what purpose do you alledge this Text? |
| A41774 | Is it fit that either party contending, should here give Judgment decissive? |
| A41774 | Is it fit that you should be Judge in your own case here? |
| A41774 | Is it not strange that men, pretending to be Christ''s true Followers, should thus contradict him? |
| A41774 | Is there no difference between the time that now is, and then was? |
| A41774 | Is this fair dealing? |
| A41774 | Must not that very Assertion of yours be the Consequence to these five Texts? |
| A41774 | Or will you say, that these things were never contradicted and censured by other Councils? |
| A41774 | Ought we not to be assured of the truth of that Tradition which we receive for the Rule of our Faith? |
| A41774 | Ought we not to be assured of the truth of the Church before we receive her documents? |
| A41774 | Read the Chapter; saith Paul, If I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you? |
| A41774 | THe first of all Controversies is founded upon this Query: What is the authoritative Judge of Controversies? |
| A41774 | The third, To appeal to Scripture, and right Reason: But if I challenge them to be on my side, who must take up the difference? |
| A41774 | They can not speak for themselves more than the Scripture: and whether the Scriptures, compared together, do not explain themselves? |
| A41774 | They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them? |
| A41774 | Upon second thoughts, finding your error, by putting the Query, What is become of the living voice of the Church? |
| A41774 | VVHat Differences in point of Religion can you resolve without the written Word of God? |
| A41774 | VVHether of us be Schismaticks? |
| A41774 | VVHether we are to resolve all Differences in point of Religion, only out of the written Word of God? |
| A41774 | VVhether Universality both for time and place, be not an evident mark of the true Church? |
| A41774 | Were they ever Heathens to know this? |
| A41774 | What Church can you name that hath that mark? |
| A41774 | What Copies and Translations of the Bible have you that are more true than ours? |
| A41774 | What a miserable plunge( of Heathenism or Quakerism) are they brought to here? |
| A41774 | What can they say against mens reading the Scripture, which hath not the same force against the hearing of it preached? |
| A41774 | What clear Text have you out of Scripture for the procession of the holy Ghost from the Father& the Son? |
| A41774 | What have I to do to judge them that are without? |
| A41774 | What then must we do? |
| A41774 | When we differ about the true Church, and about the meaning of Authors, by whom must we be tryed? |
| A41774 | Where we differ about the sense of the Word, by whom must we be tryed? |
| A41774 | Whether any man can shew this mark, as it is here call''d for, without the help of humane History? |
| A41774 | Whether some Book must not of necessity speak for it self? |
| A41774 | Whether the Baptism of the true Church be not one? |
| A41774 | Whether we are to resolve all Differences in point of Religion, only out of the written Word of God? |
| A41774 | Whether we are to resolve all differences in point of Religion, only out of the written Word of God? |
| A41774 | Who must take up this Quarrel? |
| A41774 | Will they say, the Church hath a Scripture- Baptism, and an unwritten Baptism? |
| A41774 | also, whether it be not an opprobrious and ignominious speech for you to call the Scripture a dead Letter? |
| A41774 | and if he do say so, how can he prove it? |
| A41774 | and them, have I not reason to cry out, that there never appeared such Monstrous Consequences? |
| A41774 | and then, how could any be named that denied the usefulness thereof? |
| A41774 | and then, whether it be not clear, that all the Texts which speak of Baptism, do not prohibit Infant- Baptism? |
| A41774 | and where are the Original Manuscripts of the Prophets and Apostles? |
| A41774 | and whether humane History be a rule or ground for divine Faith? |
| A41774 | and whether it do not clearly prohibit the latter? |
| A41774 | and whether that one be not expresly found in the Scripture? |
| A41774 | and whether the Scripture doth not best deserve this priviledge? |
| A41774 | and whether the true lovers of the Scripture ever vouchsafed it such ill, and indeed improper language? |
| A41774 | and whether the written Word of God be a perfect Rule for matters of Religion? |
| A41774 | and whether those that remain are not contradictory one to another? |
| A41774 | and yet whether there be not clear Texts for the religious observation of it? |
| A41774 | can you prove them Church- members without Scripture? |
| A41774 | do not ye also judge them that are within? |
| A41774 | hast thou not led me into a Labyrinth, and run thy self into a sufficient Maze? |
| A41774 | in what? |
| A41774 | or prohibiting Poligamy, or Infant- Baptism? |
| A41774 | or, for changing the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday? |
| A41774 | or, how can it be judge of its own sense, when it is alledged on both sides, who both pretend to have the Spirit and Reason on their sides? |
| A41774 | the same we are humbly bold to say to you, when you ask us, why we transgress your Traditions? |
| A41774 | though we be in doubt, Whether she her self be a true Church, or not? |
| A41774 | what Tradition is this they speak of? |
| A41774 | what holiness can a Heathen judge of? |
| A50402 | A member of Christ united to him as the head of the whole mystical body of the Church? |
| A50402 | Again, it seemeth the objection was made both against the doctrine, and them that taught it, Do we make void the Law through Faith? |
| A50402 | Again, saith he, O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you that y ● should not obey the truth? |
| A50402 | And although this Errour was for the present much restrained, yet how did it break out again afterward among the Galatians? |
| A50402 | And how ready are the weaker sort to be scared from the truth, and alienated from those assemblies where it is taught by such shifts as these? |
| A50402 | And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? |
| A50402 | And how shall they hear without a Preacher? |
| A50402 | And what are those sins which they call upon Christians to shun, but sins forbidden in the Law? |
| A50402 | And what is there, which the blood of God was not sufficient to purchase? |
| A50402 | And what should Christians endeavour more than the strengthning of their faith? |
| A50402 | And when he was upon the Cross, he cried out with a loud voice saying, My God My God why hast thou forsaken me? |
| A50402 | Are we better than they? |
| A50402 | Besides, how can a man forsake any truth of God which he hath once received, but he must ipso facto, in that very act transgress in point of practise? |
| A50402 | But how is man left to the darkness of his own mind, and blinded by Satan? |
| A50402 | Can faith save him? |
| A50402 | Did not they rest in the High- priest of the order of Aaron, without minding an eternal High- priest after the order of Melchisedeck? |
| A50402 | Do we make the Law a vain, empty, useless thing, of no force? |
| A50402 | Do we make void the Law? |
| A50402 | Do we take away all authority and binding power from the Law? |
| A50402 | Do we then make void the Law through Faith? |
| A50402 | Fourthly, How doth this light and Law of Nature leave men without excuse? |
| A50402 | God forbid, or let it not be: What, know ye not that he which is joyned to an Harlot is one body? |
| A50402 | Hadst thou any sincere love to Christ and his doctrine, how is it that thou hast profited no more? |
| A50402 | Hast thou been 20, 30, 40 years his Disciple, his Scholar, and hast thou learned little or nothing all this while? |
| A50402 | How dangerous is it then to continue in this estate of corrupt nature? |
| A50402 | How disgraceful was drunkenness by the light of Nature to sober Heathens, and how did they despise drunkards? |
| A50402 | How earnest should poor souls be with the Lord to deliver them? |
| A50402 | How great is thy sin? |
| A50402 | How many such live in the ordinary practice of such sins which the wiser sort of Heathens abhorred and scorned? |
| A50402 | How restless should all be until they are sound in Christ, that his righteousness may shelter them from the fire of Gods wrath? |
| A50402 | How sharply doth he reprove them, and how many woes doth he denounce against them? |
| A50402 | How should the hearts of believers be inflamed with love to Christ, who endured the flames of divine wrath to save them from everlasting burnings? |
| A50402 | How should they strive to be holy as the Lord is holy, who should be both Priests and Sacrifices? |
| A50402 | How should this be improved to stir up poor souls without delay to turn to the Lord, and flee to Christ? |
| A50402 | How should we tremble at sin? |
| A50402 | If the doctrine of free justification be slandered as licentious, and tending to carnal liberty, was it not so in Pauls time? |
| A50402 | If under this name thou livest in ignorance, dost thou not herein cast a great reproach upon the Lord Jesus Christ? |
| A50402 | If we should trace the Apostle Paul in his travels from place to place, where shall we find a place free from divisions? |
| A50402 | In that great and last day, how will ye stand in the presence of God when numberless sins are charged upon you? |
| A50402 | In the Objection, Do we then make void the Law through faith? |
| A50402 | In their legal washings, how did they rest in the purifying of the flesh, without any care to wash their hearts from wickedness? |
| A50402 | Is it not common with many to complain of bondage under the Law, who on the other side remain in a miserable bondage under their lusts? |
| A50402 | Is it not monstrous for them that should be quickned with one spirit to strive against each other, as if they were acted by contrary spirits? |
| A50402 | Is it not much to be lamented, that where there are many people living under the Gospel, the Lord should have so few offerings? |
| A50402 | Is it not very likely that contentions and divisions would follow hereupon? |
| A50402 | Is it not want of exercising faith upon Christ, and keeping close to him, that maketh Christians so defective in grace? |
| A50402 | Is not this as if thou shouldst say Christ taught thee these things, and walkt before thee in such ways as these? |
| A50402 | Is not this to trample under foor the blood of the Covenant? |
| A50402 | Israel which followed after the Law of righteousness hath not attained to the Law of righteousness: Wherefore? |
| A50402 | It is true that Christ hath fully satisfied the Law: But what doth this help them that remain in their natural estate of impenitency and unbelief? |
| A50402 | It seems hereupon some were ready to argue: What advantage then hath the Iew, and what profit is there of Circumcision? |
| A50402 | Know ye not that ye are the Temple of God, and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you? |
| A50402 | Live in such practices as the better sort of Heathens abhorred and scorned? |
| A50402 | Nevertheless death raigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adams transgression: Who are they? |
| A50402 | Now how clearly doth Scripture witness, how sadly doth experience prove, that errours and heresies make woful rents and divisions? |
| A50402 | Now what Commandments were these? |
| A50402 | Now what a high disho ● our is it to the God of Truth, when lyes are fathered npon him, and attributed to him? |
| A50402 | Oh how dreadful will the sound of that Trumpet be at the last day? |
| A50402 | Oh take heed of appearing before the all- seeing God without a witness? |
| A50402 | Others said, these are not the words of him that hath a Devil; Can a Devil open the eyes of the blind? |
| A50402 | Our liberty to use all wholesome food: Blood whether now forbidden? |
| A50402 | Probably a Natural though secret reason, why so many Creatures were forbidden to Israel? |
| A50402 | Saith the Apostle, Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they that eat of the sacrifices partakers of the Altar? |
| A50402 | Saith the Apostle, Shall I take the members of Christ and make them the members of an Harlot? |
| A50402 | Secondly, By way of confutation, How shall we that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? |
| A50402 | Shall a man be more pure than his Maker? |
| A50402 | Shall the members of one body fight each against other? |
| A50402 | Shall they that 〈 ◊ 〉 called to one hope be at defiance among them ● selves? |
| A50402 | Shall those that are called to the profession of one faith, embrace contrary beliefs? |
| A50402 | Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? |
| A50402 | Should we not look upon every sin as bloody, as murtherous, either as slaying the sinner himself, or as killing his Saviour? |
| A50402 | Sin was in the world before the Law was given on mount Sinai, But how can it be just to charge sin upon them who had no Law against which to sin? |
| A50402 | So in the sixth Chapter of this Epistle, shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? |
| A50402 | So that in these words we may note, first a Question or Objection, Do we make void the Law through faith? |
| A50402 | So the Apostle implieth, where speaking of those that are in Christ, he faith, It is God that justifieth, who is he that condemneth? |
| A50402 | So the Macedonians, Nestorians, Eutichians, Monothelites, and others, how sadly did they tear the Church in pieces? |
| A50402 | That some of the godly are drawn into Error? |
| A50402 | The Gospel striketh at the right eye, at the heart, and root of the most beloved lusts; How then will self- love rise up against it? |
| A50402 | The Lord told Abraham that his seed should possess it, but not until after four hundred years, Why? |
| A50402 | The Question or Objection is, Do we make void the Law thro ● gh Faith? |
| A50402 | There is a Law of nature, this not nulled by Faith: What this Law is, in the particular description of it? |
| A50402 | There was a division therefore again among the Iews because of these sayings, and many of them said he hath a Devil, and is mad, Why hear ye him? |
| A50402 | These and the like distempers of corrupt Nature, What truths may they not corrupt or deny? |
| A50402 | Vrim and Thummim ▪ concerning which there is a great question What it was? |
| A50402 | What are those things which the Apostles by the Authority of Christ and his Name, require of Christians but things commanded in the Law? |
| A50402 | What errours and false opinions may they not breed and cherish? |
| A50402 | What is that but an unsound self- deceiving hope, which doth not stir up the soul to conform it self to Christ in purity and holiness? |
| A50402 | What is there that such may not obtain of the Father through the Son? |
| A50402 | What is this but to be an Enemy to the Cross of Christ, harbouring in thy bosom, that Enemy which fastned and nailed him to the Cross? |
| A50402 | What is this but to go about to derive darkness from light? |
| A50402 | What man is able to give a reason why this people should be preferred above all others? |
| A50402 | What this Light or Law of Nature is? |
| A50402 | What worse divisions were made by the abominable Heresie of the Maniche''s in Iudea, Egypt, Greece, Thrace, Spain, and other places? |
| A50402 | When he saw many of them come to his Baptisme, he said unto them, O generation of Vipers, Who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? |
| A50402 | Whether the Lord Jesus were the Christ? |
| A50402 | Whosoever shall call on the Name of the Lord shall be saved: How then shall they call on him on whom they have not believed? |
| A50402 | Will not the Lord look upon them rather as Egyptians then Israelites, and deal with them accordingly? |
| A50402 | Will they boast of more love than Paul had, who could have wished himself accursed that Israel might have been saved? |
| A50402 | Will they pretend to more meekness than Moses, who was very meek above all the men which were upon the face of the earth? |
| A50402 | Will ye be able to hold up your faces before the men of Nineve in the day of Judgement? |
| A50402 | Will ye plead that ye believe in Christ, and so are made one with him, where is your witness? |
| A50402 | Will ye say Christ hath satisfied for your sins, what shall this profit you unless ye be united unto Christ? |
| A50402 | With what terrour, glory and majesty did the Lord appear on Mount Sinai, when he published the Law to the people of Israel? |
| A50402 | and what have I offended thee that thou hast brought on me and on my Kingdom a great sin? |
| A50402 | errours and false opinions in matters of Religion are taught, professed, received as Truths of God? |
| A50402 | how few do seriously and diligently seek for any other? |
| A50402 | it is excluded: By what Law? |
| A50402 | know ye not that the body is the Temple of the holy Ghost which is in you? |
| A50402 | lyes from the Fountain of Truth? |
| A50402 | of works? |
| A50402 | the Apostle and other Gospel- preachers? |
| A12062 | & c. Againe: Are all Apostles? |
| A12062 | 2. Who haue authority to make the Interpretation of Scripture? |
| A12062 | Againe, aske him how, and by what meanes he assures himselfe that his spirit thus interpreting scripture is the true spirit of God? |
| A12062 | Againe, aske him how, and by what meanes he is assured of his faith? |
| A12062 | Againe: VVho( e) are rauenous wolues, but subtill senses and spirits, that lye close to molest the flocke of Christ? |
| A12062 | And 1. for the certainty of the spirit, that they haue infallibly the spirit of God more then we, what can they chalēge for it more then we? |
| A12062 | And againe, how he knowes that this his testimony of his spirit is the spirit of God? |
| A12062 | And aske him, how, and by what meanes he knowes that he hath the true spirit? |
| A12062 | And for what end? |
| A12062 | And how shall they feed vs? |
| A12062 | And if the holy Ghost, whether he assumed that flesh of a Doue, or of Tongues( for example) in which he appeared? |
| A12062 | And then what end or pause wil be of trying and iudging, betweene euery priuate mans spirit,& the Councells spirit? |
| A12062 | And to whom it is so proper, that it is by faith only conceaued and attained, and by faith only belieued& vnderstood? |
| A12062 | And what certainty can be in either? |
| A12062 | And why? |
| A12062 | And,(*) How often would I gather togeather thy children,& thou wouldest not? |
| A12062 | As though forsooth, the same may not as well, and much more, be doubted of these priuate spirits? |
| A12062 | Aske further, how he is certaine of his hauing the true spirit? |
| A12062 | Aske him againe, how he knowes infallibly this is scripture, and this the true meaning of this scripture? |
| A12062 | Aske him, how he infallibly knowes this his internall testimony of his spirit, is the testimony of the holy Ghost? |
| A12062 | Aske yet lastly, how he knowes, and is certaine of his fayth? |
| A12062 | But being vrged( yea Caluin vrges it himselfe) whether a man shall rest on the Councels determination? |
| A12062 | But let vs heare his Examen of his owne conscience,& his confession of himselfe: VVhat, sayth he,( a) haue I done all this day? |
| A12062 | But vvherfore then is this called the second, the other the first Part? |
| A12062 | But what can these Spiritualists( as we may call them) say to all these testimonies of Fathers? |
| A12062 | But what? |
| A12062 | By what vertue, naturall, or superadded they can moue them? |
| A12062 | Do Princes punish the rebellion, or offences of their subiects? |

| A12062 | The Councell therefore which was made iudge, must againe be iudged: but by whom? |
| A12062 | Their Church, what is it, but a wall without temper, or morter of the true spirit, or word of God, to vphould it from falling and erring? |
| A12062 | Their Preachers or Prophetes, what are they, but as their blind, vaine, lying, and deceitfull spirit, by which they are guided? |

| A12062 | Vse praying, rather then swearing? |
| A12062 | What Interpretation of Scripture is necessary? |

| A12062 | Whether they vnderstand where they are, and what they doe? |
| A12062 | Whether they who are in heauen, or hell, can increase their ioyes, or paines? |
| A12062 | Which supposed: aske a Protestant how, and by what meanes he assures himselfe that he hath true and certaine fayth? |
| A12062 | Who are rauenous wolues, but deceitfull Spirits and senses, lying close to molest the flocke of Christ? |
| A12062 | Why are actions of lust, killing, and murdering punished in men, not in beasts, sith men haue no more freedome to absteine from them, then beasts? |
| A12062 | Why do I iustice, rather then iniustice, make restitution, rather then commit rapine? |

| A12062 | Why not to sinne rather then not to be sicke, sith to the one he hath no more power, or ability, liberty, or freedome, then to the other? |
| A12062 | Why should be admitted any Chancery, or Court of conscience? |
| A12062 | Why should therfore be studied any cases of conscience? |
| A12062 | Yea what Monasteries, Abbeyes, Priories, and other religious houses? |
| A12062 | and darest thou giue thy iudgement, or interpretation of them? |
| A12062 | and vpon this presumption, to ground the certainty of their religion, faith, and saluation? |
| A12062 | as eyes; Are all Doctours? |

| A12062 | frequent Sermons, rather then Tauerns? |
| A12062 | how shall they heare without a preacher? |
| A12062 | how shall they preach except they be sent? |
| A12062 | sayth: VVhat is this circuit? |
| A12062 | that God doth worke errour, and deceit in him, rather then truth, and verity? |
| A12062 | to what distance, further off or neerer? |
| A12062 | to wit, those who were learned; and how? |
| A12062 | what is, or can be cruelty, and tyranny? |
| A12062 | which is good or bad? |
| A12062 | which true or false, either in thēselues or others? |
| A35787 | & c. Where is the Religion? |
| A35787 | * What then will you say,( these be his own words,) shall we then eat after the Resurrection? |
| A35787 | A ● quo; Roma, quaerenda sunt divina Consilia, nisi ab illis, quibus mysteriorum Dei dispensatio credita est? |
| A35787 | And again on the other side, what harm is it to us, to be ignorant, whether Antiquity believed it or not; so long as we know, that the Thing is? |
| A35787 | And how comes it to pass, that these Ancient Popes, who alledged these Canons, if they believed these Councils to be both one, did not say so? |
| A35787 | And how many such are alledged every day, in our Disputations? |
| A35787 | And if he were in an Error in this Particular, why must he Necessarily be in the Right in the other? |
| A35787 | And if so, what Reason have they to urge it for such, against the Protestants? |
| A35787 | And if they be not one and the same thing, how can any man say, that this is the Real Body and Real Blood of Christ? |
| A35787 | And if they were not known to be such then, how can any body imagine, that they should at length come to be such now? |
| A35787 | And if we can have no assurance hereof, how can we then account them of any force at all, either for or against us? |
| A35787 | And if you were before- hand instructed in the Truth, what need have you then to hear Them, and to desire to be instructed in it, by Them? |
| A35787 | And then secondly, How, and in what Cases the Writings of the Fathers may be useful unto us? |
| A35787 | And what may not the Hereticks and Schismaticks have been able to do? |
| A35787 | And whence is it, that we find in Antiquity no mention at all of many things, which are now in great request amongst us? |
| A35787 | And yet for all this, how many odd Opinions do we meet withal in his Books, which are either very trivial, or else are manifestly false? |
| A35787 | Are not those Ancient Points of Religion of as great Importance, as these Latter? |
| A35787 | Besides, who knows, and can truly inform us, what Date their Writings bear? |
| A35787 | But what will you say now, if we make it appear to you, that the Church of Rome it self doth not allow that the Fathers have any such Authority? |
| A35787 | But who can assure us that they have not forgotten any thing they should have noted? |
| A35787 | But yet, who sees not the reason of it? |
| A35787 | But, in case you had not exact skill in the Language, how should you be able to judge of this Interpretation? |
| A35787 | Commentarii quid operis habent? |
| A35787 | Did they therefore think, that the ● e Books were of sufficient Authority to ground an Article of Faith upon? |
| A35787 | Ergò, inquies,& nos post Resurrectionem comesuri sumus? |
| A35787 | Fathers, which met here together, touching this Point; which is the most important one, of all those that are at this day controverted betwixt us? |
| A35787 | For how is it otherwise possible, that we should be able to judg, whether they have taught Holily, and Wisely? |
| A35787 | For otherwise, why should Pope n Leo give this very thing, as a mark to distinguish the Manichees from the Catholicks? |
| A35787 | For what a senseless thing is it, to leave them in, where they hurt most; and to raze them out, where they do little hurt? |
| A35787 | For where is the Province, or the City, or the Doctor, that hath not boastingly cried up his own Opinions, and Observations, as Apostolical? |
| A35787 | For who doth not now see, that this kind of proof hath as much or more difficulty in it, than the Question it self? |
| A35787 | For, I beseech you, what strange Philosophy would it be, that should either be ignorant of, or should deny these Principles? |
| A35787 | For, how is it possible that we should be able to judge, when they speak as they thought, and when not? |
| A35787 | For, to what purpose is it to find, that the Ancients believed it, unless we find withal in their Writings, some Reason of this their Belief? |
| A35787 | For, what use would there be of any such thing in pronouncing a Sentence of Judgment, or indeed, in giving ones bare Testimony only to any thing? |
| A35787 | For, who knows not what pains it will cost a Man to attain to a perfect knowledge of these two Tongues? |
| A35787 | Had he not better to have forborn coming at all? |
| A35787 | He that could be ignorant what the Nature of Christ''s Body was, must he Necessarily have a Right Judgment touching the Eucharist? |
| A35787 | How came it about, that it should be proposed only by a young fellow, who was a Schismatick too? |
| A35787 | How came it to pass, that they were so ignorant of the Weapons, wherewith the Enemies of the Church were to be encountred? |
| A35787 | How comes it to pass now, that there is not so much as any the least Trace or Footing of this Custom to be found at this day in the Church of Rome? |
| A35787 | How comes it to pass, that seeing thou hast staid behind, thou dost not Communicate of this Table? |
| A35787 | How comes it to pass, that they are fain to use so many words, and make tryal of so many tricks, and devices for the clearing of them? |
| A35787 | How could they possibly have delivered so many things contrary either to Reason, or to the Scriptures, or to the Fathers? |
| A35787 | How could they possibly have seen that; which lay as yet concealed? |
| A35787 | How could they possibly measure their Belief by such a Rule, as was not yet visible to the World? |
| A35787 | How happened it, that they so either forgot, or else mistook themselves, as they have sometimes done? |
| A35787 | How many Authors are there who have changed their Opinions, and yet have not retracted what they had formerly written? |
| A35787 | How shall I know( will he reply upon you again) whether this was his private Opinion onely, or not? |
| A35787 | How small is the number of those in the Church, who had the Ability, or at least the 〈 ◊ 〉 to write? |
| A35787 | How then can we confide in them, unless we examine their Opinions by their Reasons? |
| A35787 | Huic; Cui? |
| A35787 | If Rome doth indeed bear so great respect to the Fathers, as they would make us believe, why hath it not then retained this Custom? |
| A35787 | If all other Evidences had been lost how should we have been able so much as to have ghessed, that any such thing was ever treated of at Chalcedon? |
| A35787 | If any Man should now preach this Doctrine to the Romanists, would they not laugh at him, as a Ridiculous Fellow? |
| A35787 | If this Argument of theirs be of any force at all, who sees not that it clearly proves that which we maintain in this particular? |
| A35787 | Is it more Necessary to Salvation, to know Him Sacrificed upon the Altar, than Really Suffering upon the Cross? |
| A35787 | Is not this all one, as if he in plam terms ranked second Marriages among unclean and polluted things? |
| A35787 | Is there less danger in being ignorant touching the Nature of God, than touching the Authority of the Pope? |
| A35787 | May not this be called rather Sporting with, than Expounding of the Scriptures? |
| A35787 | Miraris si contra te fratrum scandala concitentur; cum i d nescire te jures, quod Christi Ecclesiae se scire fatentut? |
| A35787 | Now I would very fain have any one inform me, how it is possible for us to know this? |
| A35787 | Now hearing him speak thus, who would not believe this to be a true Story? |
| A35787 | Now how doth this agree with that large Discourse, which he hath made in another place, to a quite contrary sense? |
| A35787 | Now if thou cuttest off such Sentences as these, out of the Indexes of these Holy Fathers; why dost thou not as well raze them out of the Text also? |
| A35787 | Now what can be said more expresly against Transubstantiation? |
| A35787 | Num diversae interpretationis,& contrariorum inter se sensuum tenebitur reus, qui in uno opere quod edisserit, expositiones posuerit plurimorum? |
| A35787 | Omne deinceps humanum genus quibus animarum censetur exordiis? |
| A35787 | Or if thou leavest them in the one, why dost thou blot them out in the other? |
| A35787 | Or, is it not possible that they may have held them, though they did not write in defence of the same? |
| A35787 | Or, may they not perhaps have written also in de ● ence of them, and their Books have been since lost? |
| A35787 | Or, why should they have used more in those Points which are at this day controverted amongst us? |
| A35787 | Qu ● s dabit te frater fratrem m ● hi, lactantem ubera matris meae? |
| A35787 | Quam stolidi autem Judaei qui interrogant, Hic peccavit, an Parentes? |
| A35787 | Quis enim tam hebes,& sic in scribendo rudis est, ut idem laudet& damnet? |
| A35787 | Quis negabit Deum corpus esse, etsi Spiritus est? |
| A35787 | Quis omissa causa in superslua criminum objectione vers ● tus est? |
| A35787 | Quorsum( inquies) haec tam longo repetita principio? |
| A35787 | Quòd si non sunt idem, quomodo verum Corpus Christi dicitur,& verus sanguis? |
| A35787 | Rather by these Forgeries which have come to our knowledge, who can doubt, but that there have been many other the like, which we are ignorant of? |
| A35787 | Sentisne quid taceam, quod aestu ● nti pectori verba non commodem? |
| A35787 | Si in judicii severitatem capax illa Dei Virgo ventura est, desiderare quis audebit à Deo judicari? |
| A35787 | Thou seest me in a combat, and in peril of my life; and dost thou come with thy grave Instructions, like some Reverend Schoolmaster? |
| A35787 | Tu me stantem in p ● aelio,& de vita per ● clitan ● em, studiosus magister doceas? |
| A35787 | Ub; religio? |
| A35787 | What Text of Scripture, or what Reason hath this Man alledged, to prove the Truth of what he hath proposed? |
| A35787 | What can the meaning be of so strange a way of proceeding in so Wise Men? |
| A35787 | What can you say to this? |

| A35787 | Where is the Reverence which is due from you to your Ancestors? |
| A35787 | Where shall we find a M that after this their Failing, can have the courage to adventure upon so Difficult, and so Intricate an undertaking? |
| A35787 | Whereas in the second kind? |
| A35787 | Whether the Bread which they shew us, be to deceive, or to feed us? |
| A35787 | Whether the Problems they propose be solid, or slippery ones? |
| A35787 | Whether their Positions be Dogmatical, or Oeconomical? |
| A35787 | Whether they mean really what they say, or whether they make but a flourish only? |
| A35787 | Whether they were gathered green, or were suffered to ripen upon the Tree? |
| A35787 | Whether they were the Fruits of their Spring, or of their Summer, or of their Autumn? |
| A35787 | Whether they were their own particular Opinions onely, or the publick Sense of their Age? |
| A35787 | Who can assure us,( may the Protestants further add) that the Articles which we reject, are not of this kind? |
| A35787 | Who can promise himself success there, where so Great a Council hath failed? |
| A35787 | Who could believe the truth of this bold attempt, had not S. Hierome himself related the Story, and made complaint of the Injury done him therein? |
