| A61410 | 1697?-1712? |
| A61410 | Plung''d by the Holy Baptist''s Hand, Buried in thee our SAVIOUR lies: Did not thy Waters wondring stand, To see Him die, and see Him rise? |
| A61410 | Thus it becomes us to fulfil"All Righteousness, he meekly said: Why shou''d we then to do his Will Or be asham''d, or be afraid? |
| A61410 | What greater Glory would''st thou have, Than CHRIST descending from thy Shore, To find in thee a liquid Grave? |

| A37493 | But have so many Ages erred, that have used Water- Baptism? |
| A37493 | Know ye not that somany of us as are Baptized into Iesus Christ, are Baptized into his Death? |
| A44168 | And who can esteem these poor and mean things? |
| A44168 | What then do they do? |
| A44168 | Who, but must highly Value, and with all his Powers attempt to obtain them? |
| A44168 | Who, of any Sense and Thought, can count them Indifferent? |
| A44168 | Would we then perfect our Repentance, and be truly Welcome to our Lord and Saviour in His House and Family? |
| A38702 | 17. as if he should say is not this the spirituall intent and true meaning or signification thereof? |
| A38702 | And Saint Paul likewise saith of the same Sacrament; The cup of blessing which wee blesse is it not the communion of the Blood of Christ? |
| A38702 | But why should it so much grieve me, or trouble them? |
| A38702 | [ London? |
| A38702 | and the Bread which wee breake is it not the communion of the Body of Christ? |
| A38702 | doth it not shew forth and give us to understand the Communion that is betweene Christ and his Church and every member of it? |
| A65838 | And did not all Types Figures, and Shadows end in Christ the substance? |
| A65838 | Did you ever hear such a doctrine before, that the baptism of the Spirit is the Spirit? |
| A65838 | How poorly do these Baptists Argue for Water Baptism to Continue? |
| A65838 | Rep. To this I say, what a silly shift is this, as also what falsehood is in it? |
| A65838 | To this I say, besides the falsehood of these two charges upon us, what absurdity is intimated in them? |
| A65838 | What falshood and confusion is here? |
| A65838 | What is this man but ignorant of the baptism of the Spirit, when you may see here he can not distinguish between the Spirit and the baptism of it? |
| A65838 | Where did the Disciples of Christ give the Spirit unto any, seeing it was the work of Christ alone to baptise with the Spirit? |
| A65838 | Where provest thou that S. B? |
| A65838 | a Teaching Disciple, and 2d ▪ a Teaching Disciple,( what no ● cense is here?) |
| A65838 | how Ignorant and full of gross darkness it self art thou S. Bradley? |
| A65838 | what confusion and darkness hath this Baptist about this uttered? |
| A95331 | And what hinders here? |
| A95331 | But how do we enter into this? |
| A95331 | For what need is there of that Baptism that can onely cleanse the flesh and the body? |
| A95331 | For why may not Infants be stipulated for as well as we? |
| A95331 | For, as the Eunuch said to Philip, What hinders them to be baptized? |
| A95331 | If they be renewed by the Spirit, what hinders them to be baptized, who receive the holy Ghost as well as we? |
| A95331 | In the mean time, to what Scriptures did they appeal? |
| A95331 | It remains now, that we inquire what concerns our duty, and in what persons, or in what dispositions Baptism produces all these glorious effects? |
| A95331 | Now how can they partake of Christs death, but by Baptism into his death? |
| A95331 | Or can not a gift be presented to God by the hands of the owners, and the gift become holy and pleasing to God without its own consent? |
| A95331 | This we are taught by S. Paul, Know ye not that so many of us as are baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death? |
| A95331 | by the analogy or proportion of what writings did they end their Questions? |

| A95331 | what need Innocents hasten to the remission of sins? |
| A95331 | whence did they prove their Articles? |
| A63778 | And what hinders here? |
| A63778 | Annon ita credimur quia omne genus peccati cùm ad salutare lavacrum venimus aufertur? |
| A63778 | But how doe we enter into this? |
| A63778 | For what need is there of that Baptism that can onely cleanse the flesh and the body? |

| A63778 | Or can not a gift be presented to God by the hands of the owners, and the gift become holy and pleasing to God without its own consent? |
| A63778 | This we are taught by Saul, Know ye not that so many of us as are baptized into Iesus Christ were baptized into his death? |
| A63778 | by the analogy or proportion of what writings did they end their Questions? |
| A63778 | can not a creeple receive an almes at the Beautiful gate of the Temple, unlesse he goe thither himself? |
| A63778 | what need Innocents hasten to the remission of sins? |
| A63778 | whence did they prove their Articles? |
| A23664 | 3.3 Are ye so foolish, having began in the spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? |
| A23664 | And how shall they hear without a Preacher? |
| A23664 | And how shall they preach except they be sent? |
| A23664 | And if it be demanded how long? |
| A23664 | And if they escaped not who refused Moses that spake on earth, how shal they escape which shall refuse Christ which speaketh from heaven? |
| A23664 | But how did twelve Apostles think we in their own persons carry the Gospel to every man and woman under Heaven? |
| A23664 | For had ye beleeved Moses, ye would have beleeved me, for he wrote of me, but if ye beleeve not his writings, how shall ye beleeve my words? |
| A23664 | How can they( saith he) beleeve in him of whom they have not heard? |
| A23664 | How did he speak to them but by his Epistle? |
| A23664 | How or by what means are the Prophets ministers to us of this Grace, but by their writings? |
| A23664 | How then shall they call on him in whom they have not beleeved? |
| A23664 | The question is, what power any man hath in these days to administer Baptism? |
| A23664 | Then why should not the written Gospel in this case, as wel be a rule and ground to us? |
| A23664 | VVhether Gospel Ordinances are things Spirituall, or but Carnall? |
| A23664 | VVhether a power to Preach by immediate Revelation of the Spirit, be necessary in every Gospel Minister? |
| A23664 | VVhether a power to preach by immediate revelation of the spirit, be necessary in every Gospel minister?, IIII. |
| A23664 | VVhether a power to preach by immediate revelation of the spirit, be necessary in every Gospel minister?, IIII. |
| A23664 | Were they reproved for leaving off the work till they had Prophets sent to quicken them? |
| A23664 | and how shall they beleeve in him of whom they have not heard, and how shall they hear without a preacher? |
| A23664 | and how shall they preach except they be sent? |
| A23664 | how, or why else should he desire Baptism up on Philips preaching? |
| A23664 | or that it was a thing indifferent to be baptized or not baptized? |
| A23664 | or that mens having the Spirit, though in an excellent degree, as they had, is any excuse from water Baptism? |
| A23664 | will not every man conclude that Philip, in preaching the Gospel to him, had convinced him of it as a Christian duty? |
| A94739 | 11, 12. and so to be used as it was? |
| A94739 | 11. Who are appointed to Baptize? |
| A94739 | 16, 17, 18. to make every believer a blessing, so as to cast ordinarily Elect children on Elect parents, and thereby warranted Infant Baptism? |
| A94739 | 16, 17. a warrant to Baptize Infants? |
| A94739 | 16. be understood of some other Baptism then that of water? |
| A94739 | 19. the Disciples to Baptize children with parents, as the Jews did Proselytes? |
| A94739 | 33.? |
| A94739 | 38, 39. exhort the Jews to Baptize themselves and their children, because the promise of grace is to believers and their children? |
| A94739 | 4 May it not be meant of Baptizing by the Spirit, or afflictions? |
| A94739 | 7. to be a God to him and his seed? |
| A94739 | Are not Infants of believers Disciples, by their Parents faith to be Baptized? |
| A94739 | Are not believers children comprehended under the promise, to be a God to Abraham and his seed? |
| A94739 | Are not the Gentile believers children to be ingraffed by Baptism with their Parents, as the Jews children were by Circumcision? |
| A94739 | Are not the Sacraments of the Christian, Church in their nature, seals of the Covenant of grace? |
| A94739 | Are the persons to be Baptized altogether passive in their Baptism? |
| A94739 | Are they rightly Baptized, who are Baptized into the name of Jesus Christ, though no other person be named? |
| A94739 | Did Circumcision seal the Gospel covenant? |
| A94739 | Had it not been a discomfort to the believing Jews to have their children unbaptized, and so out of Covenant? |
| A94739 | Have not opposers of Infant Baptism, been wicked in the end? |
| A94739 | Have not our children then less priviledge then the Jews had? |
| A94739 | How came Infant Baptism to be common in the Christian Churches? |
| A94739 | IS Baptism with water an Ordinance of Christ, to be continued by his Disciples till the end of the World? |
| A94739 | Is not the Infant Baptism sufficient if it be avouched at age? |
| A94739 | Is not the end of the world, as much as the end of that age? |
| A94739 | Is there any evil in it? |
| A94739 | Is there any good by Baptizing persons at age, which might not be, though Infant Baptism were continued? |
| A94739 | May not the sprinkling or powring water on the face, be the Baptism of Christ? |
| A94739 | May we be said to be compleat as the Jews without infant baptism? |
| A94739 | Was not the Covenant with Abraham, Gen. 17. the Covenant of grace? |
| A94739 | What are Christians to do when they are Baptized? |
| A94739 | What is it to Baptize into the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost? |
| A94739 | What is the Baptizing appointed by Jesus Christ? |
| A94739 | What is the chief end of Baptism? |
| A94739 | Whom are they appointed to Baptize? |
| A94739 | Why did Paul then say, Christ sent him not to Baptize? |
| A94739 | Why should not Infants be Baptized sith they were Circumcised? |
| A41822 | And he said unto th ● m, Vnto what then were ye Baptized? |
| A41822 | And how must we do to know it? |
| A41822 | And now you Water- Baptists, let me ask, Now where is Iohn''s Power? |
| A41822 | And though you may say, All are not sent to Baptize; Then I ask you, How must we do to know who are, and who are not? |
| A41822 | Baptism? |
| A41822 | But although you should still say, Why then did the Apostles use it after the Spirit''s Baptism was accomplisht? |
| A41822 | But further, you acknowledge your selves that it is but a Type; well, I ask you then, What doth it type forth unto us; or what is it a Type of? |
| A41822 | But they might have said, Why John, why must thou Decrease? |
| A41822 | For if it did not reach Paul, who was Converted, and one not behind the Apostles, how can it reach you? |
| A41822 | God forbid; for to us there is but One Lord: And he doth not say, There is but One Faith; must we therefore say, There are more Faiths then One? |
| A41822 | How then? |
| A41822 | If it be a Type of the Baptism of Christ, then I ask you, What further need is there of it, when the Thing signified by it is come? |
| A41822 | It will one day be said, Who hath required these things at your Hands? |
| A41822 | No, nor he doth not say, There is but One Lord; must we therefore say, There are more Lords then One? |
| A41822 | Now I conclude, that the Dead you mean, are such as are Dead to Sin; and if so, how can ye that are dead to Sin live any longer therein? |
| A41822 | Now it s plainly said, that as Iohn fulfilled his Course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? |
| A41822 | Or can any Man conclude, that Paul here speaks of Water- Baptism? |
| A41822 | Or do you think that the Type and Substance must remain together to the World''s End? |
| A41822 | Shew us your Commission; Where did you receive your Power and Authority in this Matter, that you both preach and baptize? |
| A41822 | The Apostles never called it as you do, An Initiating Ordinance, and( say you) A Command of Christ: But who say so beside you? |
| A41822 | The People came to John, and asked him, saying unto him, Why Baptizest thou, if thou be not that Christ, neither Elias, nor that Prophet? |
| A41822 | Was it not always from the Foundation of the Law, that when the Substance came, that the Shadows fled away? |
| A41822 | Well, But he comes to thee, to be baptized of thee? |
| A41822 | Well, Iohn; And what will he do for us? |
| A41822 | Where do you prove it? |
| A41822 | Who commanded you? |
| A41822 | Will not he Baptize with Water? |
| A41822 | Yes; but Iohn forbad him, saying, I have need to be Baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? |
| A41822 | [ Mark] Had Iohn''s Baptism been in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, then how should they but have heard of a Holy Ghost? |
| A41822 | do you think that he baptized them with the Holy Ghost, and then sent them out to baptize with Water? |
| A41822 | have you this Hole to creep out at? |
| A41822 | nor wholely preach his Baptism useless, nor the Law neither, until such time as the Gospel had got some hold of the People? |
| A41822 | what would you have? |
| A41822 | who ever sent you Baptists in this great and notable Day of the Lord? |
| A41822 | who would not live in her? |
| A41822 | who, who would not dwell here? |
| A47167 | 28. in his discourse of Witchcraft: How may the People of New- England relish this? |
| A47167 | And if I by Belzebub cast out Devils, by whom do your Children cast them out? |
| A47167 | And if Sathan cast out Sathan, he is divided against himself, how shall then his Kingdom stand? |
| A47167 | And if he say, It was because the Devil had left her, how soon she came there, Why may not the same be alledged on behalf of the Quakers Meetings? |
| A47167 | And who saith all Light is God? |
| A47167 | And why are ye not as zealous for washing one anothers feet, and anointing the sick with Oyl? |
| A47167 | But is a bare Report or Hear- say sufficient to discredit a Passage that is known to so many living Witnesses in that Town? |
| A47167 | But what saith the People of New- England now to Cotton Mather, who doth so accuse them? |
| A47167 | But what then? |
| A47167 | But why should the colour of black be judged by Cotton Mather so much to resemble the Devil? |
| A47167 | Can there be any inward power of Godliness, without Christ living, dwelling and ruling in the heart? |
| A47167 | Doth it therefore follow, that Diabolical Possession in this Damsel did incline her to be of Pauls Religion? |
| A47167 | Doth not both thy Fathers weakness and thine also manifestly appear in this Charge? |
| A47167 | Hast thou no other way to defend thy Idol of Water- baptism, but to smite against the Lord Jesus Christ, in his inward appearance in his Saints? |
| A47167 | Hath not God many ways to reveal himself to the ouls of men, and the depth of his Counsel, that passeth our search and understanding? |
| A47167 | Have there not been mad People, and whimsical both of the Presbyterian and Independent Churches? |
| A47167 | Here thy scoffing airy Spirit appeareth, as oft else- where; how can the world be blessed with a Volumn of Heresies and Blasphemies? |
| A47167 | I Answer; Then why dost thou not produce this twefth Article, and demonstrate it so to be, as thou affirmest? |
| A47167 | I am sure more expresly commanded by Christ, and Iames the Apostle, than your Water baptism? |
| A47167 | If I grant thee that both Iohn''s preaching and baptism, in a true sence, is a beginning of the Gospel, what gainest thou by it? |
| A47167 | If this be a Light flowing from God, and a Ministration of God, how can it fail in any respect, and be insufficient? |
| A47167 | Is not this worse than that call''d Abbington Law, where it is said, Men were first hanged and afterwards tryed? |
| A47167 | Now, what sayst thou, Cotton Mather, to this? |
| A47167 | To this I answered; What can all this say to discredit the Quakers Religion and Principle? |
| A47167 | To this thou answerest, not denying, but that a Possession of evil Spirits may befall one of your Communion: What then? |
| A47167 | and as it is in Iob, When the Sons of God came together, Sathan also came among them? |
| A47167 | doth it therefore follow that Water- baptism is a pure Gospel Precept, and to be observed to the end of the world? |
| A47167 | doth it therefore follow that they are owned by that People, or are of their Society? |
| A47167 | let them see to it, and if they be not guilty of his Charge, whether is he not severely to be reprehended? |
| A47167 | must they also by Cotton Mathers Authority be like unto the Devil? |
| A41790 | & c. As these things can not be denied, so we may justly enquire how it comes to pass that they do thus? |
| A41790 | ( meaning for things indifferent) Therefore who art thou that judgest another mans Servant? |
| A41790 | 10. or be Pauls fellow- souldiers and fellow Labourers? |
| A41790 | 2. and is that which we call a Doctrin ● of Christ? |
| A41790 | 2. may not be figuratively understood, for the Holy Spirit which was given thereby? |
| A41790 | 20. of which Christ in the same place is said to be the corner stone? |
| A41790 | 2? |
| A41790 | Acts 19. having no such blessing to communicate, as they had? |
| A41790 | Again, It would be understood how long the power our brethren gives to men to act as Elders in those Congregations doth remain? |
| A41790 | And also how many several Congregations they may act in as Pastours by consent? |
| A41790 | And he[ that is Jesus] said unto them[ that is his Disciples] what things? |
| A41790 | And here let me seriously ask our Brethren, what manner of instruction they give young Disciples, concerning this matter? |
| A41790 | And here we will take notice of your demand, Where the Apostles Laid Hands upon any after they had received the Holy Ghost? |
| A41790 | And how much comes this short of the power committed to any messenger in the World at this day? |
| A41790 | And what devourer shall we be able to keep out( that hath but craft to get in) if once this door of dispensing with principles of Religion be opened? |
| A41790 | Because others are gone before, is it a shame for us to come after? |
| A41790 | But then I would know, how we can rightly own that principle, if we destroy the practick part? |
| A41790 | But what shall we say, do none attain to all the principles, nor to every part of the foundation, but such as fall after Baptism? |
| A41790 | But what shall we say, shall we render railing for railing? |
| A41790 | But why dost thou judge thy Brother, or set at nought thy Brother? |
| A41790 | But why so? |
| A41790 | But why so? |
| A41790 | Doubtless he ought; yet who can imagine, that such gifts as Tongues, Miracles,& c. should be given to each individual? |
| A41790 | For if you deem them to be no Churches at all, what need any debate be had, Whether it be orderly or safe to communicate with them at the Lords Table? |
| A41790 | For, do they not frequently send out men to act Authoritatively both in preaching the Gospel to them that are without? |
| A41790 | Have ye received the Holy Ghost SINCE ye believed? |
| A41790 | Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? |
| A41790 | How might Paul and Silvanus have been burthensome? |
| A41790 | Insomuch then he obtained not that, how came he by the Holy Ghost? |
| A41790 | It had certainly made nul ● that ordinance almost totally, for who doth not now a- days presently suppose himself to be baptized with the Spiri ●? |
| A41790 | It were strange now if our Lord Christ should have none to withstand these, if need be with an are they Apostles? |
| A41790 | Must we then conclude, that there is no agreement between their prayer, and the prayer of the Church in those dayes? |
| A41790 | Our Brethren demand of us, whether those qualifications which gives right to B ● ptism, do not give right to the Lords Table? |
| A41790 | Shall mortal man be more just than God? |
| A41790 | Surely he professes to do this, at the time he wrote to them; and indeed, how else could he lead them on to perfection? |
| A41790 | The Antecedent can not be denied, without manifest danger to all the principles of Christs Doctrine; for if one be abolished, then why not the rest? |
| A41790 | The Fathers where are they, and the Prophets do they live for ever? |
| A41790 | The gift of tongues? |
| A41790 | The major is true, otherwise they ran before they were sent; and then how could they preach? |
| A41790 | What we? |
| A41790 | Whether they be true Churches of Christ or not? |
| A41790 | Whether they thenceforth stand equally engaged to Oversee those Churches, as the Church that first called them to serve as Pastors? |
| A41790 | Whether this be not a sufficient ground for them to doubt, whether that laying on of hands practised by us be instituted by God? |
| A41790 | Would he not teach the Christians concerning the knowledge of Christ in the more sublime points of Christianity? |
| A41790 | Would it not be absurd now to say, that Peter did communicate the blessing of tongues here? |
| A41790 | Ye did run well, who did hinder you that you should not obey the truth? |
| A41790 | and remitting the penitent? |
| A41790 | by ordaining them Elders, and dispencing to them the holy Ordinances? |
| A41790 | in setting things in order in remote Congregations? |
| A41790 | or how they principle them in it, or build them upon it? |
| A41790 | so am I, as well as with an are they Mnisters of Christ? |
| A41790 | to exercise Discipline by Excommunication of offenders? |
| A69672 | ( Touch not, taste not, handle not: Which all are to perish with the Using) after the Commandments and Doctrines of Men: What can be more plain? |
| A69672 | 1 If it be said, That God confers inward Grace upon some, that are now baptized? |
| A69672 | 21? |
| A69672 | 28? |
| A69672 | And is not that alledged to be the End still? |
| A69672 | And may not the Professing Faith in Christ signifie that as well? |
| A69672 | And now, if the Gospel- Worship and Service stand in the same, where is the difference? |
| A69672 | And though they for the most part agree in this general, yet how do they Contend and Debate one against another? |
| A69672 | And what monstrous and wild Opinions and Conceivings have they invented, to inclose or affix the Body of Christ to their Bread and Wine? |
| A69672 | And yet would not our Adversaries judge this an Abuse, and not right peforming of this Sacrament? |
| A69672 | But do not Protestants by these Uncertainties open a Door to Papists for their excluding the People from the Cup? |
| A69672 | But if it be asked me, how it is? |
| A69672 | But is it not fit for those, that are Dead with Christ, to be subject to such Ordinances? |
| A69672 | But what necessary Relation hath all this to the Believers partaking of the Flesh and Blood of Christ? |
| A69672 | But why? |
| A69672 | For if we look into the plain Scripture, what can be thence inferred to urge the One, which may not be likewise pleaded for the Other? |
| A69672 | For the Question is, Whether, in what they did, they walked according to the Truth testified of by the Spirit in the Holy Scriptures? |
| A69672 | Have ye not Houses to eat and to drink in? |
| A69672 | How might the Gospel by this Liberty of Interpretation be Perverted? |
| A69672 | How strangely are they pinched, pained, and straitned to make this Spiritual Mystery agree to that Ceremony? |
| A69672 | How then? |
| A69672 | I admit the Answer; but how can it be evited to militate the same way against the other Practice? |
| A69672 | If it be asked then, What that Body, What that Flesh and Blood is? |
| A69672 | If it be asked, How and after what manner Man comes to partake of it, and to be fed by it? |
| A69672 | If they say, That the former was only a Sign of Humility and Purifying, What have they to prove that this was more? |
| A69672 | If they say, That the former, of Washing the Feet, was only a Ceremony; What have they, whence they can shew, that this breaking of bread is more? |
| A69672 | If they say, The one was only for a Time, and was no Evangelical Ordinance: What hath this to make it such, that the other wanted? |
| A69672 | If this serve not to take away the Absolute Necessity of the use of Bread and Wine, what can it serve to take away? |
| A69672 | Is not Bread and Wine, Meat and Drink? |
| A69672 | Let no Man therefore judge you in Meat or Drink? |
| A69672 | Now, was not God the Author of the Purifications and Baptisms under the Law? |
| A69672 | Opposers claim a Power to give their Sacraments from whence do they derive it? |
| A69672 | Or despise ye the Church of God, and shame them, that have not? |
| A69672 | Or for laying aside the One, which may not be likewise said against the Continuance of the Other? |
| A69672 | Or what reason have they to dispense with the One, more than the Papists have to do with the Other? |
| A69672 | So after he had Washed their Feet, he said, Know ye, what I have done to you? |
| A69672 | Some ask us, How we know, that Baptizing here is meant of Water, and not of the Spirit? |
| A69672 | Ten Canonicks burnt at Orleans, and why? |
| A69672 | The Baptism into the Name what it is? |
| A69672 | Then will not that open a Door for the Popish Argument against the Administration of the Cup to the People? |
| A69672 | Was not Water the Matter of them, which is so now? |
| A69672 | Was not the End of them to signifie an Inward Purifying by an Outward Washing? |
| A69672 | What Sealing Ordinance doth mean? |
| A69672 | What great Contest and Strife hath been betwixt the Greek and Latin Churches concerning the Bread? |
| A69672 | What have they more to shew for this, there being no express Repeal of them? |
| A69672 | What if it should be said, the Whole is but a Circumstance which fell out at that time when Christ did Eat the Passover? |
| A69672 | What makes the Christian Religion hateful to Jews, Turks and Heathens? |
| A69672 | Wherefore, if ye be dead with Christ from the Rudiments of the World, why, as though living in the World, are ye subject to Ordinances? |
| A69672 | Whether Peter''s Baptizing some with Water makes it a standing Ordinance to the Church? |
| A69672 | Whether Two Baptisms do make up the One? |
| A69672 | Whether this Ceremony be a necessary Part of the New Covenant, and Obligatory? |
| A69672 | Which is the Badge of Christianity? |
| A69672 | Why should he have said, that those whom he had already baptized, should yet be baptized by another Baptism? |
| A69672 | Why the Custom of Supping in Common was used among Christians? |
| A69672 | Yea, have not Scruples of this kind occasioned no little Contention among the Professors of Christianity? |
| A57271 | 1, 2. was it not that which the Apostles taught, that unto which Baptized believers as such were obedient? |
| A57271 | 1, 2. what will you say to make void this truth? |
| A57271 | 1. call it the Doctrine of Christ? |
| A57271 | 2. part of the foundation? |
| A57271 | 30. or do you not think, that those who are short of any truth, if they profess any thing, but will as readily make this Objection as your selves? |
| A57271 | 6. and shall not believers now practise it? |
| A57271 | Alas, saith the Wiseman, what''s a little water? |
| A57271 | And is not this the sin of many Professors in this our day? |
| A57271 | But alas, what is Peter, Iohn and Paul, but Ministers by whom they believed? |
| A57271 | But let''s further consider, is not this a wile whereby Satan labours to make void this truth of Christ, as he hath done to others? |
| A57271 | But now some do Question, What grounds we have that practise laying on of hands, to separate from those who are Baptized? |
| A57271 | But now some may say, If we practise this Ordinance; where is the ground for our faith, seeing whatever is not of faith is sin? |
| A57271 | But now some may say, Was this practise to continue amongst believers? |
| A57271 | Can two walk together, except they are agreed? |
| A57271 | Consider wherein you are defective in these principles: are you not in Repentance? |
| A57271 | Doth not this discover; in some measure, the weakness of your Reasons or arguments before minded, for what in this Chapter you have affirmed? |
| A57271 | For I pray you, what is the beginning of the words of Christ, when it is minded as the foundation, but principles of his Doctrine? |
| A57271 | For did they receive the Holy Spirit, in a more then ordinary manner, through this Ordinance? |
| A57271 | For to what end doth God manifest his truth, by any poor Soul, by any of his people; but that others should be obedient? |
| A57271 | God forbid: shall not we hope to find acceptance with God in his appointment? |
| A57271 | How can you see the effect of that, you have never yet attained unto nor believed? |
| A57271 | I answer, that this is but cunning reasoning, to subvert the truth: for as to the Apostles waiting at Ierusalem, did not Christ command the so to do? |
| A57271 | I know it is not the practise of all of you; yet those that do it, were never to this day disowned by you? |
| A57271 | I say, In this, how confused have they appeared in their setting persons apart for Elders? |
| A57271 | I say, shall he alwayes prevail? |
| A57271 | If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? |
| A57271 | Is any sick amongst you? |
| A57271 | Is it because some of us, as you say, forbid you their houses? |
| A57271 | Is it, because as you say, we deny you Communion? |
| A57271 | Is not the Church of Christ the house of God? |
| A57271 | Let''s minde further, was this Ordinance performed without prayer? |
| A57271 | Not to go for further instance, Was not this the practise of the Bishops and Prelates, and after them the Presbyterians, then the Independants? |
| A57271 | Now I would Query of you, was this promise proper onely to some believers, or all believers? |
| A57271 | Now consider, was it for Babes then, and is it onely for strong men, now? |
| A57271 | Now hath not your boasting of gifts, something of this nature in it, to beget a disesteem in believers hearts of this truth? |
| A57271 | Now if any should say, How would this appear? |
| A57271 | Now were these believers at Samaria in the Expectation and practise of that the Apostles never taught them? |
| A57271 | Now what was that, but repentance from dead works, and faith towards God,& c. even all that our Saviour taught, even a form? |
| A57271 | O therefore let not truth be destroyed: his Doctrine was sealed with his blood, even the death of Christ, and shall we alter or deny his will? |
| A57271 | Shall not they tread in the footsteps of the flocks of Christ, be followers of those who first trusted in him? |
| A57271 | Some do say, Why did not Philip lay hands upon the Samaritans, as well as Baptize them? |
| A57271 | Surely you or I may suppose many things; but which of us is able to determine which is truth amongst all? |
| A57271 | Surely, It is not there said so, and therefore you do but suppose it to be so; for is there any Command expressed in those verses, for that practise? |
| A57271 | To which I answer, though this may be true, yet what is this to the purpose? |
| A57271 | Two which I answer, that though all commands are Oracles, and all Oracles are not commands; yet what is this unto the purpose? |
| A57271 | What effect have you seen, of the laying on of hands upon persons to office? |
| A57271 | What''s the Reason? |
| A57271 | Who is Paul, and who is Apollo; but Ministers by whom ye believed? |
| A57271 | and is not his Doctrine one with himself? |
| A57271 | and is not this his Doctrine or Teaching? |
| A57271 | are you according to your Profession of Christ in Baptism, dead to the rudiments of this World? |
| A57271 | bears witness unto this: What advantage then hath the Iew? |
| A57271 | but I pray you in your writing of this, did you carefully observe and remember the frames of your Spirit? |
| A57271 | but is he any otherwise a foundation then in his Doctrine as he is declared? |
| A57271 | it''s abomination unto them; and therefore how can we have Communion with them, or they with us? |
| A57271 | or what profit is there of circumcision? |
| A57271 | or would the Iews ignorance of the Lord of life, excuse their Crucifying the Lord of Glory? |
| A57271 | was not this alwayes; it''s too low, it''s too mean, it''s too plain? |
| A57271 | what a great evil would they make of this? |
| A57271 | what a noise and cry did they make after poor Souls, who for conscience towards God did separate from them? |
| A57271 | what''s the Reason, that you affirm one thing, Mr. Kiffin another, and Mr. Harrison a third? |
| A57271 | why consider, is it not upon the same ground that you your selves have denyed others? |
| A57271 | will you say, as many do, Christ is the foundation? |
| A57271 | yet will this excuse them? |
| A63577 | And I offer it to the Consideration of the Learned, whether the prime Signification of the Word be a sufficient Argument in this case? |
| A63577 | And if Philip had not been to put the Eunuch into the Water, and cover him with it, why should they go down both into the Water? |
| A63577 | And then he bawls very loud, saying, Mr. Williams, will you suffer him to Preach? |
| A63577 | And when Silence was obtained, he addressed himself to the Ministers after this manner: Sirs, What is the matter with you? |
| A63577 | Are ye afraid of the Commission? |
| A63577 | Are you of Mr. Chandler''s Opinion? |
| A63577 | Are you of Mr. Chandler''s mind in this Matter? |
| A63577 | But do you believe it? |
| A63577 | But how do you know that the Word was so Rendred by the Septuagint? |
| A63577 | But what do you bring this for now? |
| A63577 | But what doth all this signify? |
| A63577 | But what then doth he mean by denying my Major? |
| A63577 | But why must you prevent Mr. Chandler? |
| A63577 | But why should Mr. Robinson think it strange that any body should have such a Conceit in their Minds? |
| A63577 | But would not the People conclude that Infants were intended, if I tell them it must be done after the manner of Moses? |
| A63577 | Did we say Incompleat Disciples are not in the Commission? |
| A63577 | Do you bring this to prove that these Children were Baptized? |
| A63577 | Do you not know your own Argument? |
| A63577 | Doth he not know that the Church of Rome baptize things of an inferiour Nature? |
| A63577 | Dr. Russel Answers, Have I not put it into an Argument, and you will not suffer him to answer it? |
| A63577 | Gentlemen, are you not asham''d? |
| A63577 | Hath Christ two sorts of Subjects that he commands to be Baptized in that Commission? |
| A63577 | Here are divers Men of Parts and Learning among you, can none of you produce so much as one Instance to prove it? |
| A63577 | Here the Doctor was interrupted again, and they cried out, What do you tell us of Dr. Hammond? |
| A63577 | Here( saith he) a Question may be made, whether washing the Body in Baptism, must be by Dipping or Sprinkling? |
| A63577 | How can this possibly be true? |
| A63577 | How doth that appear? |
| A63577 | How shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? |
| A63577 | I speak of Actual Disciples, made so by Teaching; are these such, who( by your own Confession) know not one Letter of the Book? |
| A63577 | I would know whether Infants are not as capable of Believing in Christ, as of coming to Christ? |
| A63577 | If Mr. Chandler can give no Instance, here are divers other Ministers, Gentlemen of Parts and Learning: Have none of them an Instance to produce? |
| A63577 | Is it Nonsense then to say, that any Infants belong to the Kingdom of Glory? |
| A63577 | Is it not the Subject contained in the Question; And will you( or dare you) deny that what I have said is in the Commission? |
| A63577 | Is not our Lord''s Commission of as good Authority as my Argument? |
| A63577 | Is not that the same which I say you said? |
| A63577 | Is this civil Treatment to a Stranger that comes so many Miles to meet you? |
| A63577 | Is this your Argument? |
| A63577 | Know ye not that so many of us as were dipt into Christ Jesus, we were dipt into his Death? |
| A63577 | May I not have leave to draw my Inference from the Text? |
| A63577 | Mr. Leigh said, How much Credit did we infer was granted by them to our Cause? |
| A63577 | Mr. Leigh was angry hereupon, saying, What do you talk of our being the keepers of them? |
| A63577 | Mr. Robinson, their Moderator, saith, Will you allow this of Consequence, or not? |
| A63577 | Mr. Williams ask''d him how many there was in the Covey? |
| A63577 | Must I be thus misrepresented to the People, because I say( that which you all know to be true) that Infants want the Use of Reason? |
| A63577 | Must I n ● ● be permitted to recite your own Authors, and some of the gre ● test Men that have written since the Reformation? |
| A63577 | Now was this before the Commission, or after it? |
| A63577 | Ofte en wetet ghy niet dat soo vele al''s wy in Christum Jesum dedoopt zyn, wy in Synen doodt gedoopt zyn? |
| A63577 | Or, rather, are some commanded, and others not commanded, and yet both to be Baptized; the one by a Command, and the other without? |
| A63577 | Sir, why do you hinder Mr. Chandler from speaking? |
| A63577 | Sir, you must bring in that Dipping is absolutely necessary( as in the Question) what do you talk of Sprinkling for? |
| A63577 | That the Ministers had granted out of their own mouths that we had gained the Cause? |
| A63577 | Then he puts this Question, Whether it ought to be performed by an Immersion, or an Aspersion,& c? |
| A63577 | This is not to the purpose, what have we to do with what Mr. Calvin says? |
| A63577 | Upon this Dr. Russel asked Mr. Leigh, what Relation this Argument of his had to the Commission? |
| A63577 | Was not the Mother of our Lord a Believer, when Christ was born? |
| A63577 | Wat verhindert my gedoopt te worden? |
| A63577 | What again Mr. Robinson? |
| A63577 | What do you mean by being recorded? |
| A63577 | What do you put that upon us for? |
| A63577 | What do you talk of Preaching? |
| A63577 | What do you talk of a Trick? |
| A63577 | What do you tell us of the Fathers? |
| A63577 | What have we to do with Dr. Hammond? |
| A63577 | What hinders me to be dipt? |
| A63577 | What is the Reason of all this? |
| A63577 | What is the Reason of this? |
| A63577 | What is this to my Argument? |
| A63577 | What need is there of so many Words about this? |
| A63577 | What then do you bring it for? |
| A63577 | What will all this People say, when they are gone? |
| A63577 | What, doth Colonel Self ride Lord General in the Town of Portsmouth to day? |
| A63577 | What, doth not Mr. Chandler know the difference between the Major and Minor? |
| A63577 | What, from the Commission? |
| A63577 | When you see you are like to be pinched upon an Argument, then you make it your business to hinder me from speaking: Doth this become a Moderator? |
| A63577 | Whereupon Mr. Sharp, the Moderator, call''d out aloud to still this great Noise, and spoke to this effect: What is the reason of this Hissing? |
| A63577 | Whereupon Mr. Williams askt him if he would do it to answer a Scrupulous Conscience without God''s Word? |
| A63577 | Whether according to the Commission of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Adult Believers are only the proper Subjects of Baptism: and not Infants? |
| A63577 | Whether the Ordinance of Baptism as appointed by Christ, is to be Administred by Dipping, Plunging( or) Overwhelming only, and not otherways? |
| A63577 | Who ever did so? |
| A63577 | Why may they not be said to Believe, when they do not actually Believe; if imputatively they are said to come when their Parrents brought them? |
| A63577 | Why must Erasmus be thus slighted? |
| A63577 | Will you allow genuine Consequences drawn from Scripture? |
| A63577 | Will you allow good Scripture Consequences in this Case, or do you expect plain Scripture Words? |
| A63577 | Will you assert that? |
| A63577 | Will you fly from the Light of the Commission of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ? |
| A63577 | Will you grant that it is not Recorded in the New Testament? |
| A63577 | Yes, I do believe it: What then? |
| A63577 | You say no Person can give an Instance in Scripture whereby we baptize Infants: How do you prove this? |
| A63577 | and how shall they hear without a Preacher? |
| A63577 | and what do you talk of all the New Testament? |
| A63577 | do you understand Dutch? |
| A63577 | is all the New Testament the Apostle Paul''s writings? |
| A63577 | must I always be thus broke in upon by you; What is the meaning of it? |
| A63577 | not the Assembly of Divines? |
| A63577 | what is to do now? |
| A85422 | And how impertinent is it in arguing, to suppose that without proof, which a man knoweth is denyed by his adversary? |
| A85422 | And the Lord added unto the Church, who? |
| A85422 | But how impertinently to his Cause, and with how little proof, is this affirmed? |
| A85422 | But passing by this, how impertinently doth he argue that little which he undertakes, in the words mentioned? |
| A85422 | But what is there in this passage, to prove that one Baptism, or one kind of Baptism, is the foundation of a Church, more then another? |
| A85422 | By what principle in reason is this consequence formed? |
| A85422 | Do they affect to be either more wise or more Holy then God? |
| A85422 | Doth he judge this rule binding unto us now? |
| A85422 | For are they not these? |
| A85422 | For if we may take liberty to cast away one Law of Gospel Order, and Worship, then why not two, and so three, and in the end, all? |
| A85422 | For what though it never so sufficiently appears that men and women did beleeve before they were baptized? |
| A85422 | How much then is a man better then a sheep? |
| A85422 | How uncouth, sapless, and without savor, are such conceits and reasonments as these? |
| A85422 | If they practise in one case without Example, why do they not the like in the other? |
| A85422 | Is the Scripture express for any thing to precede the enjoyment of it self? |
| A85422 | Or can any pretence or plea whatsoever render the children of such high misdemeanors excusable before the Judgment Seat of Christ? |
| A85422 | Or do all men sin who Prophesy[ i. e. joyn with him that preahcheth the Word, in the act of hearing] with their heads covered? |
| A85422 | Or doth he think that that rule, by which those Christians acted in the case specified, is binding unto us now? |
| A85422 | Or is not his meaning in saying so many of us as,& c. clearly this, that as many of us Saints, or of us beleevers, who have been baptized? |
| A85422 | Such as were baptized? |
| A85422 | Tell us were they baptized, or no? |
| A85422 | This sence of the place considered, how frivolous and impertinent is this supercilious Interrogatory, which he builds upon it? |
| A85422 | What frivolous and empty reasonings are these? |
| A85422 | What is this to justifie thee in going in unto them? |
| A85422 | Whereas he demands; What is a not admiting, less, then a refusing to admit, them to such communion? |
| A85422 | Whereas he demands; Why doth the Querist make circumcision a Gospel rite, which is indeed a rite abolished by the Gospel? |
| A85422 | Will he say that women were circumcised? |
| A85422 | Ye did run well; who did hinder you, that ye should not obey the Truth? |
| A85422 | and consequently such Gospel Order layd totally aside? |
| A85422 | if two, why not ten, and so an hundred, or a thousand? |
| A85422 | or that all those, who were not circumcised in the Wilderness, were excluded from all acts of Church communion for Forty Years together? |
| A85422 | or that any kind of Baptism, more then imposition of hands? |
| A85422 | or that they were excluded form acts of Church- communion, because they were uncircumcised? |
| A85422 | or without a rule binding unto them? |

| A33349 | * Vis Deos propitiare? |
| A33349 | And now why tarriest thou? |
| A33349 | And shall not Uncircumcision, which is by nature, if it keep the Law, judge thee who by the Letter and Circumcision dost transgress the Law? |
| A33349 | Are the Glories of Heaven so inconsiderable? |
| A33349 | Are ye so foolish? |
| A33349 | Cui vitio obstitisti? |
| A33349 | Do we then make void the Law through Faith? |
| A33349 | Doth our Baptismal Vow lay no obligation upon us? |
| A33349 | For what agreement can there be, between a sensual, spightful, or malicious Soul, and the pure Society of the Spirits of just Men made perfect? |
| A33349 | Having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the Flesh? |
| A33349 | He that ministreth to you the Spirit, and worketh Miracles among you, doth he it by the works of the Law, or by the hearing of Faith? |
| A33349 | He that washeth himself after the touching of a dead Body, if he touch it again, what availeth his washing? |
| A33349 | How much less will God accept us, when we are* least fit to serve him, and in those Days wherein we our selves have no Pleasure? |
| A33349 | In a word, can we see Men dally with Eternity, and for the sake of a few empty and momentany Gratifications, hazard their everlasting Welfare? |
| A33349 | In like manner, what can be more impossible, than for an earthly and wicked Soul, to be made happy by the Vision and Fruition of God? |
| A33349 | Is it a light thing to enter into such a Promise solemnly before God and his Church? |
| A33349 | Know ye not that so many of us, as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his Death? |
| A33349 | Nonne ergo ille qui bonitatem sequi debet, si nequitiae praeferat partes, plus peccare videtur, quam is qui deliquit ignorans Dei virtutem? |

| A33349 | Quam s ● r ● m est tunc videre incipere, cum desinendum est? |
| A33349 | Quâ parte melior es? |
| A33349 | Received ye the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by the hearing of Faith? |
| A33349 | So is it with a Man that fasteth for his Sins, and goeth again and doeth the same; who will hear his Prayer? |
| A33349 | What greater Uncharitableness can a Man possibly be guilty of towards the Soul of his Brother, or what greater Mockery of God? |
| A33349 | Will they not be much more inquisitive after the Glories of Earth, and the Gratifications of Sense? |

| A85408 | & c. Yea, are not both women and children to be understood, where men only are named? |
| A85408 | 1, 2* even as Subjects are under the names of their Kings, and Families and Descents, under the names of their Heads? |
| A85408 | 1, 4? |
| A85408 | 3, or 4 ▪& c. would such an act as this be unlawful? |
| A85408 | And as for any competent ground otherwise to justifie the practice, hath such a thing ever seen the light of the Sun hitherto? |
| A85408 | And besides, is it not altogether irrational to imagine or think, that Faith should be required in order unto Baptism, simply for Faiths sake? |
| A85408 | Be no ways constrained, or solicited to communicate in this practice? |
| A85408 | If not, is it any ways necessary that we should believe, or ought it to be any Article of our Faith to believe, that they were baptized? |
| A85408 | If not, is not the practise of it traditional, and the product of humane discourse, as well, and as much, as the Baptizing of Infants? |
| A85408 | If so, how, or wherein doth the excess of the danger, or evil of the consequence appear? |
| A85408 | Or are such differences as these, of no authority, interest, or import, to umpire or decide the controversie depending between the two Baptisms? |
| A85408 | Or are there not many cases, wherein a man may break a Law,[ i. e. a standing Law, or a Law provided for ordinary cases] and yet be blameless? |
| A85408 | Or are there not several grounds, and these near at hand, very material and weighty, to strengthen this conjecture? |
| A85408 | Or doth not our Saviour in the Gospel justifie that action of theirs notwithstanding? |
| A85408 | Or hath the practice of admitting women to the Lords Table, any such, either precept, or example, to justifie it? |
| A85408 | Or is there any precept, which injoyns baptizing, or dipping, in the name of Christ, after a baptizing in infancy into this name? |
| A85408 | Or is there either vola or vestigium, little or much of such a practise as this to be found in the Scriptures, where they speak of Baptism? |
| A85408 | Or is there not as much difference between hot water, and cold, as is between a child, and a man? |
| A85408 | Or that God, or Christ, should enjoyn a requirement of them upon such a slender account as this? |
| A85408 | That the Apostle to the former writeth thus: Know ye not, that SO MANY OF US as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death? |
| A85408 | Whether did the Lord Christ, pointing to any river, or water, say, Vpon this water will I build my Church? |
| A85408 | or is there any such precept, as that mentioned, or example in Scripture, for the warrant of it? |
| A85408 | or profession of Faith, meerly for this Professions sake? |
| A85408 | that He was the Son of the living God, which Peter had confessed, say, Vpon this Rock will I build my Church a? |

| A85408 | that there were no Beleevers unbaptized in the Apostles days,) the contrary being apparant( as may be touched hereafter?) |
| A85408 | why are they then baptized for the dead c? |
| A85408 | yea and some cases, wherein he may do it with commendation? |
| A01094 | ( as the Prophet Isai teacheth,) and what all the glory of it, but the flower of the field? |
| A01094 | Ad quid, inquis, ingredior( saith he in the person of those conceited auditors) nisi aliquem Sermocinantem an ● iero? |
| A01094 | And I desire to know, either the place where, or the case when, or the cause why, such priuiledge is granted them? |
| A01094 | And againe, that in another place: Blessed art thou O Israel, who is like vnto thee, O people saued by the Lord? |
| A01094 | And he thereupon concludeth, Quod si illum fari non potes,& tacere non debe ●, quid restat tandem nisi vt iubiles? |
| A01094 | And where must this Iubilation be vsed? |
| A01094 | And why is he but Vaine? |
| A01094 | But what is that to vs? |
| A01094 | Can their worship of their crosse make our crosse an idol, which is not worshipped? |
| A01094 | Dicente domino, cur autem, non et a vobis ipsis quod iustum est iudicatis? |
| A01094 | Doth euery thing that breedeth a remembrance of any thing abused vnto idolatry, indanger vs to fall into the same idolatrie? |
| A01094 | Ergo, man may not adde a ceremoniall signe? |
| A01094 | Finally, what thing is all liuing flesh but only grasse? |
| A01094 | For first, why should the seeing of a crosse made, rather mooue vs to idolatry, then the hearing of an idoll named? |
| A01094 | For so it foloweth in that very place: What shall it profit thee to wine the whole worlde, if thou lose thine owne soule? |
| A01094 | For what is it els, to prefer our Sermons before the holy Scriptures, but to prefer mens speeches before the holy ghost? |
| A01094 | For what is it( I pray you) that in this name offendeth you? |
| A01094 | For what is that which can priuiledge vs from errour in our Preaching? |
| A01094 | For, secondly I demand, who those persons bee, vnto whom this pretended danger can bee intended? |
| A01094 | For, what if it gaue vs occasion to remember that ancient idolatry, which by remembring, wee abhorre: doth this make it vnlawfull? |
| A01094 | Haue they not made as great and as dangerous a schisme in this owne Church, about these matters, as euer the other did in the Church of the Iewes? |
| A01094 | He there confuteth that opinion, by his owne experience: Quanto ● agis vidi ex tuis literis, quam ex illius sermon ●, quid ageretur? |
| A01094 | How incohaerent is this? |
| A01094 | If then thou neither canst expresse him, nor oughtest to suppresse him, what other thing remaineth, but to iubilate vnto him? |
| A01094 | In all which, what was spoken, that could giue the least offence, vnto any well meaning, or but indifferent mind? |
| A01094 | Is it the name of a Badge, which so much offendeth you? |
| A01094 | Is not Papistry Preached? |
| A01094 | Is the signe the lesse lawfull, because it is a signe of our profession? |
| A01094 | Is therefore siluer made no siluer, if a man chance to say that gold is better? |
| A01094 | Nay, yet further, what, but auouched for a sealed truth, by al true Protestāts, against the Papists? |
| A01094 | Now to what end must all this reading be? |
| A01094 | Now what or whose preaching could haue wrought more worthy and noble effects then this bare reading did? |
| A01094 | Or can you thinke that it is no sinne, to go against a grounded law, when you thinke it so great a sinne, to go against an vngrounded opinion? |
| A01094 | Or must Preaching of necessity be disgraced, if Reading in any respect be preferred? |
| A01094 | Or, why should it be thought more powerfull to leade vs vnto the one, then this is, to lead vs vnto the other? |
| A01094 | Quid enim opusest cōcionatore? |
| A01094 | Quomodo( sa ● th he) priuabimus eccle ● ● am hac libertate, vt non possit suis ritibus aliquid signisicare? |
| A01094 | Shall therefore we Christians be aqua and igni interdicti? |
| A01094 | Shall we therefore say that S. Iames disableth Preaching,& maketh it vnnecessary to the attaining of wisedom? |
| A01094 | Should any thing whatsoeuer be thought vnlawfull, which instructeth our mindes, and sturreth vp our affections truly towards GOD? |
| A01094 | So likewise in another place vnto the Hebrewes: Haue yee forgotten the consolation which speaketh vnto you as vnto children? |
| A01094 | So likewise in another place vnto the Romanes: What saith the Scripture? |
| A01094 | So may I likewise reason in this our present question: Is therefore Preaching made no preaching, if in some points it be surpassed by Reading? |
| A01094 | Then to whom can belong this vnspeakeable reioycing, but onely vnto God, who is himselfe vnspeakeable? |
| A01094 | What can there be more plaine, or more full, or more direct vnto our purpose? |
| A01094 | What can there be more, either performed by the Preacher, or desired by the hearer, then here you see most plainely ascribed to the Scripture? |
| A01094 | What commandement of Christ, or what example of Apostles haue you for the surplice? |
| A01094 | What greater shew of danger could there bee in any thing, then to place the image of an Oxe, in the temple of GOD? |
| A01094 | What is there in this name, that can offend any wise man? |
| A01094 | What other thing are riches, but a heape of shining dust, which with euery blast of winde is puft away and perisheth? |
| A01094 | What other thing is beauty, but the weake paint of a false colour, which with one shake of an ague is blasted, and so fadeth? |
| A01094 | What profit hath a man of all his labours wherin he hath trauailed vnder the sun? |
| A01094 | What should I doe at Church( say they) if there be no man there to preach? |
| A01094 | Who knoweth not, that of all the causes, it is only The end, which maketh all actions to be either good or euill? |
| A01094 | Why so? |
| A01094 | Why? |
| A01094 | Why? |
| A01094 | and so what is there any where, which( in this so large and so laxe a sense) may not be called A monument of idolatry? |
| A01094 | are they Protestants? |
| A01094 | by what reason say you this? |
| A01094 | doe not all these find Pulpits, to vent themselues out of? |
| A01094 | is it the title of Honorable? |
| A01094 | is not Heresie Preached? |
| A01094 | is not Schisme, and contention, and all errour Preached? |
| A01094 | marke, et a vobis ipsis? |
| A01094 | or doth it not rather make it good, and profitable? |
| A01094 | or that he maketh either of them vnnecessarie for a Christian? |
| A01094 | or the abuse of it at one time, destroy the good vse of it for euer after? |
| A01094 | or the title of a Badge? |
| A01094 | or what speciall warrant and rule for your conscience, saue onely this generall rule of obedience? |
| A01094 | or, because the Papists haue worshipped their bread, may not Protestants vse bread? |
| A01094 | or, bee they Papists? |
| A01094 | where be they now( saith he) who say the word spoken hath greater power in it, then hath the word written? |
| A01094 | why? |
| A01094 | yea, and reading so often of one and the same thing? |
| A65465 | ''T is done by the breaking of Bread and drinking of Wine, and is this so hard a thing that God requires of us? |
| A65465 | ''T is the Remembrance of our Saviour''s Death; and does not that deserve to be remembred? |
| A65465 | ''T is the lively Representation thereof to our Minds; and do we not need this, for are we not too apt to forget it? |
| A65465 | * Eoquem tam amentem esse putas, qui illud quo vescatur credat Deum esse? |
| A65465 | 1 DID I Read and Pray, Meditate and Examine my self last Night; and in what manner? |
| A65465 | Am I any wiser or better than I was the last? |
| A65465 | And how could we have any well grounded hopes of Pardon, but from the Revelation of the Gospel, and by the merits of a Redeemer? |
| A65465 | And is it not suspicious that there''s something very much amiss in our selves, when we are so ready to censure our Neighbours? |
| A65465 | And must not all this render the Mind exceeding quiet and happy? |
| A65465 | And the Apostle*, The Cup of Blessing; is it not the Communion of the Blood of Christ, the Bread of the Body of Christ? |
| A65465 | And the same of Meditation and Reading? |
| A65465 | And why should we not transplant any excellent Fruit into our own Soil, and get all the good we can from Persons of all Communions? |
| A65465 | Are they not guilty of Intemperance, or Injustice in their Dealings in the World? |
| A65465 | Ask any very pious person, who comes with Humility and Devotion to this Sacrament, whether they are not as sure of all this as that they breath? |
| A65465 | At least, why may not we have Congrogations to propagate Good Manners, as they have one to propagate their Ill Faith? |
| A65465 | But Lord is it I? |
| A65465 | But in answer to it, we must say of this Sacrament, as Ananias did to St. Paul of that of Baptism,* Why tarriest thou? |
| A65465 | But is it likely they had all of them Ponds, Pools, or Rivers, in, or near their Houses, sufficient to plunge all these? |
| A65465 | But it may be askt, is there no other unworthy receiving, and no other damnation as a consequent thereon, but what have been now describ''d? |
| A65465 | But may some here object, Where is this Blessedness you speak of? |
| A65465 | But what if besides all this we should find someting still more express for the Baptising of Children in the Acts of the Apostles? |
| A65465 | Can any man forbid Water that these should not be baptised? |
| A65465 | Can not the Blood of Jesus soften it, and cleanse it; that Blood of sprinkling which speaks better things than that of Abel? |
| A65465 | Did I think of God, last and first? |
| A65465 | Does it not look as if we were solicitous to take off Mens Eyes from our own Faults, tho''at the expence of another''s Reputation? |
| A65465 | For how can a Rebel be fit for Pardon, if he is not thankful when''t is offered him? |
| A65465 | For''t is a high Affront and Injury both to the King and the King''s Son; and will they not both extremely and justly resent it? |
| A65465 | Have I Pray''d? |
| A65465 | Have I remembred my Promises made at the last Sacrament, and how have I performed them? |
| A65465 | Have I thought of Death and Judgment? |
| A65465 | Have we not all broken our Covenant with God, and ought it not to be the most welcome Tidings to us in the World that we may again renew it? |
| A65465 | Have we nothing to thank him for, that we are so backward to render him this Sacrifice of Praise? |
| A65465 | How have I improved my Time this Day? |
| A65465 | Is Holy Friendship, is Christian Unity and Love so frightful a thing, that we will not so much as endure this Symbol of it? |
| A65465 | Is it a small thing to dwell in Christ, and Christ in us, to be one with Christ, and Christ with us? |
| A65465 | Is it any greater Crime to meet and sing Psalms together, than to sing profane Songs, or waste Hours in impertinent Chat or Drinking? |
| A65465 | Is it any more a Conventicle than any other Meetings? |
| A65465 | Is it not a good and pleasant thing for Brethren to dwell together in Unity? |
| A65465 | Is there any Law that it offends against? |
| A65465 | Is this worth desiring? |
| A65465 | Much more when he requires so easie a Testimony of our Gratitude and Obedience? |
| A65465 | O Saviour, why? |
| A65465 | Or are these only Fancies, and the fair, but fading Colours of Rhetorick and Imagination? |
| A65465 | Or if our Saviour had ask''d some great ● hing, should we not have done it? |
| A65465 | So thou didst think, who madest us out of nothing, who didst take this most endearing method to obtain our Love: And wilt thou accept it? |
| A65465 | The Answer was indeed to those adult Persons, who ask''d, What shall we do? |
| A65465 | They are of like Passions with other Men, and why may not they expect the same Allowances? |
| A65465 | To be united to him? |
| A65465 | To despise the World in comparison of him? |
| A65465 | To him what Offerings shall I make, Whence my Salvation came? |
| A65465 | To see him whom our Souls ought to love? |
| A65465 | To sit under his Shadow with unspeakable delight? |
| A65465 | To what Temptations am I like to be exposed? |
| A65465 | WHAT Mercies have I received this Day, Answers of Prayer, Deliverance from Evil, common or extraordinary Blessings? |
| A65465 | We are all called to be Saints, to Glory, as well as to Vertue, and why should we then be content with the lowest measures? |
| A65465 | We see it in Trades every day; and why should we not learn from those who are wise in their Generation? |
| A65465 | What Auxiliaries we want, and where to obtain them? |
| A65465 | What Duty omitted since Evening? |
| A65465 | What Duty omitted? |
| A65465 | What Memory, unless very extraordinary, to retain but their Names? |
| A65465 | What Mercies have I received? |
| A65465 | What Mercies we receive? |
| A65465 | What Mercy do I want for Soul or Body, my Self, or Relations, that I may now ask it? |
| A65465 | What Occasions may I probably have this Day of serving God, or my Neighbour? |
| A65465 | What Sin have I committed, in Thought, Word or Deed? |
| A65465 | What Sin have I committed? |
| A65465 | What Sins we are to confess, and to fight against? |
| A65465 | What Strength to visit them? |
| A65465 | What ail''d thee, O thou Sea To leave thy antient Bed? |
| A65465 | What do I want? |
| A65465 | What has a stubborn Rebel to do with his Prince''s Pardon? |
| A65465 | What have I done, endeavoured, or designed for God''s Glory, or the Good of my Neighbour; or have I lost any Opportunity for either? |
| A65465 | What our Debts are? |
| A65465 | What the best methods of Defence? |
| A65465 | What we still want, and which the best way to obtain them? |
| A65465 | Whence is it that my Saviour should be Guest to one that is such a Sinner? |
| A65465 | Where are these Promises in Holy Scripture, of such wonderful assistance in this Sacrament? |
| A65465 | Where it is not to be had indeed, the Case is different, but what are extraordinary Cases against a certain standing Rule? |
| A65465 | Where to expect an Assault? |
| A65465 | Where we are to plant our Batteries? |
| A65465 | Whether our Thoughts have been wandring, or fixed on the engaging Objects before us? |
| A65465 | Whether we feel this Divine Flame in our Hearts, and dearly love all those that bear the Image of the heavenly? |
| A65465 | Why did old Iordan flee And seek its distant Head? |
| A65465 | Why shou''d th''insulting Heathens Pride, Our Hopes alike and him deride? |
| A65465 | Ye Mountains why Leapt ye like Rams While Hills like Lambs Skipt lightly by? |
| A65465 | and How? |
| A65465 | may I offer it? |
| A65465 | wilt thou receive a Magdalen, after she has so long wandred from thee? |
| A66526 | 2dly, He confesseth that we have 30 Councils for Infants- Baptism; what then is become of his stout Assertion in his Treatise of Baptism? |
| A66526 | 3. of his Reply? |
| A66526 | 7, pertains not to the Carnal seed of Abraham, but to the Spiritual? |
| A66526 | And at this rate what Author can be secure from the Violence of his interpretations? |
| A66526 | And doth not Justin say it was lawful for all to receive the spiritual Circumcision, which is Baptism? |
| A66526 | And for quoting this Mr. Danvers is in a pet, and saith, I produce a spurious piece[ is the Magdeburgensian History such?] |
| A66526 | And how doth he clear himself of this? |
| A66526 | And how doth this prove Believers the only subjects of Baptism? |
| A66526 | And is it not a very great owning indeed, to say, he hath divers passages that seem to be against it? |
| A66526 | And is there any hurt in this? |
| A66526 | And truly if one were minded, how easy is it to retort upon him, and shew the vanity of his discourse in such a manner? |
| A66526 | And was it not a ridiculous reason which he gave why young men, and those who were newly married, and young widows should delay Baptism? |
| A66526 | And what do Osiander, Fuller and Bullinger say? |
| A66526 | And why may not the other expression be as well taken in a limited sense? |
| A66526 | And why may not this Council be supposed to be as inconsiderate? |
| A66526 | And why may we not suppose these Waldenses to be guilty of as much Impertinency and Nonsensicalness as the Assembly and Dr. Manton? |
| A66526 | Art thou afraid of the Seal( Mr. D''anvers will not have Baptism to be a Seal) because of the tenderness of his nature? |
| A66526 | Because there is not one wo ● d of Infants, nor of Infants- Baptism, nor its Apostolicalness: And what of that? |
| A66526 | But can Mr. Danvers find any- where in Rainerius where he positively saith, the Waldenses were against the practice of baptizing Infants? |
| A66526 | But do they say in all things? |
| A66526 | But hath he not forgotten what he speaks just before, That Cpyrian held Chrysin to be an Apostolical Tradition? |
| A66526 | But how doth M. D. prove this? |
| A66526 | But how doth Mr. Danvers make good what he affirms of Wickliff? |
| A66526 | But is not this more than Mr. Danvers can prove? |
| A66526 | But saith Mr. Danvers, Fabian hath fully hit Bede''s meaning: why? |
| A66526 | But suppose Bazil had said it, what will it amount to? |
| A66526 | But this Mr. D. likes not, and therefore, hath invented a way to reconcile the seeming difficulty( as he calls it) and what is that? |
| A66526 | But to come more closly to the matter, what express Command have we for the observation of the Christian Sabbath? |
| A66526 | But what are the weak grounds which Mr. Danvers mentions? |
| A66526 | But what can be said to that which is further urged from Bazil? |
| A66526 | But what doth this Council say against Infant- Baptism? |
| A66526 | But what makes Mr. Danvers judg otherwise as to these Britains? |
| A66526 | But what need more be said to this? |
| A66526 | But what saith Mr. Baxter in the forementioned place? |
| A66526 | But what sin have they commited? |
| A66526 | But what will he think of me now? |
| A66526 | But why should we question it? |
| A66526 | But will Mr. Danvers allow of no consequences, or are not implicit Commands obligatory? |
| A66526 | But, why should he fancy that this of Infants- Baptism, was one of those things fathered upon Cyprian? |
| A66526 | Did it not shadow forth the mortification of Sin, Regeneration, and Redemption by the blood of Christ? |
| A66526 | Do they indeed, saith he, believe the Lord''s Supper to belong in common with Baptism to all the Members of the Church? |
| A66526 | Dost thou ask me the question? |
| A66526 | Doth Mr. Danvers say, Circumcision was only a Seal to Abraham, not to Believers and their seed? |
| A66526 | Doth Mr. Danvers say, it could not be a seal to an Infant that had no faith? |
| A66526 | For now we shall want some Supreme Judg to determine, which are plain, which not; must we go to him and his party for resolution? |
| A66526 | For the Interrogation is, Must the Faithful be Sealed with Baptism? |
| A66526 | Hast thou a Child? |
| A66526 | He hath made a good beginning, hath he not? |
| A66526 | He saith, he quotes them not to prove Believers- Baptism was the only Baptism of those Centuries: Why then did he quote them? |
| A66526 | How came the Canon of the Church of Rome into Mr. Danvers''s mind, of Childrens being born of God by Regeneration? |
| A66526 | I let pass also Vice- comes, because he writes palpable lyes; how that Luther, Calvin, Beza, denyed Infants- Baptism; and why? |
| A66526 | It is not manifest that in case of death, he would have an Infant baptized? |
| A66526 | Marshal) the natural face of this Argument in a glass? |
| A66526 | Mr. D. translates it not[ so] publickly, because else it might be presently queried, how then could Guitmund tell? |
| A66526 | Mr. Wills, saith he, deals according to his wonted manner very disingenuously with me; but wherein I pray? |
| A66526 | Must the Faithful be sealed with Baptism? |
| A66526 | Nay, doth not Mr. Danvers himself tell us We admit of plain consequences? |
| A66526 | Now how doth Mr. Danvers clear himself of this? |
| A66526 | Now what shall I say to all this? |
| A66526 | Origen''s Writings( saith he) are corrupt: who denies it in some things? |
| A66526 | Tell me, I pray, and resolve the question, why are Infants baptized? |
| A66526 | That it is a meer Impertinency, and nothing to the purpose, why so? |
| A66526 | The Renovation of the Spirit, and Mortification of their Members? |
| A66526 | The sayings of those Men[ Pedobaptists] are expresly for his Opinion, though it may be[ O sad is it but a may be?] |
| A66526 | Then he comes to Infants, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉,& c. Hast thou an Infant? |
| A66526 | Therefore, saith he, it must needs respect Infants- baptism; whether this be intended as an Argument, or a Conclusion, who can tell? |
| A66526 | To this Mr. Danvers answers p. 36. of his Reply, I do him manifest injury: How so? |
| A66526 | What if I say''t was at Carthage? |
| A66526 | What thinks Mr. Danvers of that passage of Nazianzen in his 5th Book of Theology? |
| A66526 | Where then is the manifest injury? |
| A66526 | Wherefore it should be carried through all: Art thou a young- Man? |
| A66526 | Who would not have judg''d Mr. D. by those lines a person able to command his Passion, yea a second Moses? |
| A66526 | Why, by inveighing against me Suo more, and telling the World, that I am an injurious Man, and charge on him a Falsehood of my own making; how so? |
| A66526 | Why? |
| A66526 | Will this think you do the business? |
| A66526 | Witnessing to what? |
| A66526 | You desire to know of me,( who should best know my own Opinion) whether or( how far) those things are true which they say, and cite in my name? |
| A66526 | and did they take up the practice with the Mass? |
| A66526 | and how irrational are the deductions of such an innumerable company of Doctors and learned Divines? |
| A66526 | and that against the express witness of so many worthy men, who lived a hundred years before them? |
| A66526 | and the Answer is, Faith must needs preceed and go before; and how absurd is it? |
| A66526 | and why may not this intend only the Adult as well as that above? |
| A66526 | can any man that is rational deny it? |
| A66526 | doth he not fly to rational Inference? |
| A66526 | doth he not know that omne universale continet in se particulare, every universal contains within it self the particular? |
| A66526 | doth not Dr. Owen positively assert it? |
| A66526 | hath he any other way for it than consequential Reasonings? |
| A66526 | head where the three last are his own? |
| A66526 | head, the four last lines being his own? |
| A66526 | how doth he know Baptizing is by Plunging? |
| A66526 | is any one loosed that is not bound? |
| A66526 | may we Baptize them? |
| A66526 | nor in the 4th head where the last is his own? |
| A66526 | p. 59) but do they say that none must be Baptized but such? |
| A66526 | purpose? |
| A66526 | shall I implore an Increpation from above, 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉? |
| A66526 | that he should not hold the same of Pedobaptism? |
| A66526 | was it to cast Dirt on his Witness? |
| A66526 | were then the subjects of Baptism? |
| A66526 | were they against Infant- Baptism before they declin''d? |
| A66526 | why all the sayings of the later Doctors and learned men( why not of the ancient ones too?) |
| A66526 | why then do not Infants partake of one as well as the other, since it belongs to them in Common, if Members of the Church? |
| A66526 | why then doth he call it an excellent History? |
| A66526 | will this prove that he owned no other Baptism but that of Believers in opposition to that of Infants? |
| A47124 | ( Where doth the Scripture say, he is Outwardly and Bodily Glorified at God''s right Hand? |
| A47124 | 14.6, 7. mention any thing of the Doctrin of Salvation, by the promised Messiah? |
| A47124 | 28. say, Baptize into the Name; and is not that more than in the Name? |
| A47124 | Again, In p. 23. of that above mentioned Book, they answer a Question thus? |
| A47124 | Also by the word separating, and withdrawing, so as to have no Fellowship with them? |
| A47124 | And for a Proof he Querieth; Can a Man Retract and Renounce a Passage upon Supposition, and not know what the Passage is? |
| A47124 | And how Non- sensical is he to Argue; that as it is barely Historical, the Ungodly have that Belief? |
| A47124 | And what say''st thou to this? |
| A47124 | And whether Baptism be not a Doctrin, yea, or nay? |
| A47124 | And why so much strife and contention about G. Fox''s Papers of Church Orders, and Womens Dresses? |
| A47124 | Are not his Brethren come to higher Attainments than these outward things? |
| A47124 | As that one Text, that God is a Spirit is it not sufficient to prove the truth of it? |
| A47124 | But doth it therefore follow, that the Sin and Guilt is the same in both Cases? |
| A47124 | But how doth he prove that they used not this Form? |
| A47124 | But how is the end of that Sacrament, or Sign any wise Answered among the Quakers, who have Abolished both Signs? |
| A47124 | But how will he Reconcile this to W. Penn; who doth acknowledge that the Scriptures are a Means to know God, Christ and our selves? |
| A47124 | But is not that also a Doctrin? |
| A47124 | But many People speak after this manner; Have we not had the Gospel all this time till now? |
| A47124 | But what Proof gives he of this, that this was, or might be a Permission? |
| A47124 | But why may not their Ecclesiastick Discipline be reckoned as much belonging to the outer Court, as Water- Baptisme and the Supper? |
| A47124 | But, why may they not have a Power mediately from Christ, after some true manner, and yet in some sort immediate also? |
| A47124 | Did G. K.( saith he) in his diligent search overlook this? |
| A47124 | Do these words express the Glory he had with the Father before the World began, in which he is now Glorified?) |
| A47124 | Doth it therefore follow, that it was no Institution of Christ to the Apostles, and their Successors to Preach the Gospel? |
| A47124 | Doth not this strengthen the Papists in their false Faith; that Christ is daily offered in the Mass, an unbloody Sacrifice? |
| A47124 | Doth this prove that Christ without us is no Object of our Faith? |
| A47124 | First, he saith, the Apostle might well understand it of his inward coming and appearance; but what Proof doth he give of this? |
| A47124 | Have not many good Men done it? |
| A47124 | He meaneth only Spirit and Life; acknowledging, that it was at most an Oversight in me; but how doth this prove me a Changling in an Article of Faith? |
| A47124 | Here thou wouldst make two Christ''s, a Christ whose Person is above the Clouds, and a Christ within, but how provest thou two such Christs? |
| A47124 | Hoc est opus Dei, ut quid paras dentem& ventrem? |
| A47124 | How Ignorantly and Stupidly doth he here Argue? |
| A47124 | How can Man use the Candle, unless God light it in his Heart; and doth not God use it in order to bring, or Convert Man to himself? |
| A47124 | How can they who follow such blind Guides, but fall into the Ditch with them? |
| A47124 | How might the Gospel by this liberty of interpretation be perverted? |
| A47124 | How then can the same tongue bless God and curse men? |
| A47124 | I Answer, How Foolishly doth he here Argue, and Impertinently? |
| A47124 | If some of them had not been Baptized at all, it had been improper for him to ask them were they Baptized in the Name of Paul? |
| A47124 | If they do Evil that separate Man and Wife, whom God hath joyned, or put together; do not they worse who kill them both? |
| A47124 | Is he as Guilty of Damnation that Eats Swines Flesh Doubting 〈 ◊ 〉 that Eats and Drinks Unworthily at the Lord''s Table? |
| A47124 | Is not Christ God, and is not God a Spirit? |
| A47124 | Is not that rather the State that is reserved to the future Life? |
| A47124 | Is not this to make the Sacrifice of Christ of less Value and Efficacie in his own Body, than his Sacrifice in W. Penn''s Body? |
| A47124 | Is there any greater, or so great Blindness to be found in the Blindest, and most Ignorant of the Papists? |
| A47124 | Lo I am with you always, to the end of the World( saith he) what for? |
| A47124 | Must Meat, Drink and Cloathing be rejected, because that many abuse them? |
| A47124 | Must all that Retract from their Errors, be Reputed double Minded Men? |
| A47124 | Now how is that Cup the New Testament? |
| A47124 | Now, can this be wrought; or doth God Work this Work of Conversion in a lost Soul, without his Lighting a Candle in it? |
| A47124 | Otherwise, what can be meant by rejecting, casting out, and purging out, in the Scriptures of the New Testament? |
| A47124 | Reader, are not these dreadful Words, enough to make all Christian Ears to tingle? |
| A47124 | Reader: Wouldest thou not think by these Words, that W. Penn was in good earnest, Pleading for the Sacrament( as he calls it) or Sign of the Supper? |
| A47124 | Secondly, If here he only Argues on Supposition, and ad hominem; how shall we know when he Argueth Positively, and is in good earnest? |
| A47124 | Secondly, it is a Means of Grace; the Bread which we break is it not the Communion of the Lord''s Body? |
| A47124 | Seeing it is the Nature of all Sacrifices for Sin, that they be Slain, and their Blood Shed; how is Christ Slain in his Children, and when? |
| A47124 | Should the abuse of any thing commanded by God, take away the use of it? |
| A47124 | The Cup which we bless is it not the Communion of his Blood? |
| A47124 | The manner of Speech used here by Paul, is like that of James; doth the same fountain send forth sweet water and bitter? |
| A47124 | To be understood of Christ''s being Crucified in Men; else why doth he oppose me with his Queries? |
| A47124 | What Country- man is he? |
| A47124 | What was the State of the Church in the Apostles days, after they had received plentiful Illuminations of the Holy Ghost? |
| A47124 | Where doth the Scripture say, Christ offers himself up in his Children a Sacrifice for Sin? |
| A47124 | Why was it Prophecied of Christ; a Body hast thou prepared me, why not Bodies many, if he offer up himself in the Bodies of all the Saints? |
| A47124 | Will he meddle with School Terms, and yet understand them no more than a Fool? |
| A47124 | Yea, have not the Quakers commended some for Retracting and Condemning some things, which formerly they reckoned to be Divine Openings? |
| A47124 | and whether other Drink may not be used as well as Wine? |
| A47124 | is meant his Outward coming, as from any other places above cited, or any that can be brought, his Outward coming can be proved? |
| A47124 | to enable them to Baptize with Water? |
| A47124 | which are a shadow of things to come, but the body is of Christ? |
| A47124 | whoever said, that the bare Historical Relation, or Report of Christ Crucified, is the Power of God unto Salvation? |
| A47124 | you look for a Christ without you; from what Coast or Country shall he come? |
| A47124 | — How many Souls hast thou led into that Pit of Darkness and Blindness, as to believe that Christ is yet to come in Person? |
| A47585 | & c. But what injury doth it do us, who can say, Thus saith the Lord Jesus? |
| A47585 | ''t is said the Spirit caught away Philip, that the Eunuch saw him no more: what a strange thing was this that followed Baptism? |
| A47585 | * Secondly, When the Apostles prayed, the House was shaken, but''t is not so now; doth Prayer therefore cease to be a duty? |
| A47585 | * Will any say, to drink Poison, or any deadly thing, or take up Serpents, is Milk for Babes? |
| A47585 | 13. they laid their hands upon them; doth not them intend the very same they prayed for? |
| A47585 | 13.1, 2? |
| A47585 | 14.23? |
| A47585 | 6.1, 2? |
| A47585 | 6.1, 2? |
| A47585 | Again, because I have remission of Sins, and other Blessings promised in Baptism before baptized, shall I reject that Ordinance? |
| A47585 | And again that there is nothing but a faint insinuation from the Scripture to ground Laying on of hands upon? |
| A47585 | And are we not commanded to withdraw from every Brother that walks disorderly, and not after the Traditions we have received? |
| A47585 | And did not Peter and John teach it to the Saints at Samaria? |
| A47585 | And how do you come to know he did not? |
| A47585 | And how has God crowned this Service, as has been shewed, with wonderful manifestations thereof? |
| A47585 | And how have they defended it against the strongest opposition, as a glorious Institution of Jesus Christ? |
| A47585 | And is it so in very deed? |
| A47585 | And now as to some other Churches he speaks of, I grant we read not of their practising this Ordinance; yet what doth this make against it? |
| A47585 | And since these Principles are in the Apostle''s sense to be looked upon as Milk, and for Babes; what then is the Meat? |
| A47585 | Are all Prophets? |
| A47585 | Because( say they) if the Apostles were under it, they must have an Administrator; and who, say they, should that be? |
| A47585 | Besides, because God may step out of his usual way, must we do so too? |
| A47585 | But again, as Mr. Tomlinson minds, How could it be the weakness of these Hebrews, that they had need to be taught them again? |
| A47585 | But doth not this straiten and narrow the Interest of Jesus Christ? |
| A47585 | But let us examin this Scripture a little more: Have you received the Holy Spirit since ye believed? |
| A47585 | But may we not say with one of the Antients, By this rite of Imposition of Hands, God hath promised, and the Saints received the Holy Ghost? |
| A47585 | But now because this Miracle followed as the effect of that Administration then, shall we conclude it was the end of the Ordinance of Baptism? |
| A47585 | But pray where do you read that the 12 Disciples, or Apostles of Christ, were baptized? |
| A47585 | But secondly, The words are rather in themselves a Caution or Prohibition than otherwise; will he call this a full Precept? |
| A47585 | But, First,''T is not so now, shall we therefore assemble together no more? |
| A47585 | But, do they not confute themselves by thus arguing? |
| A47585 | Can it be thought that those were at that time Members of the Church, and yet so ignorant of the Holy Spirit? |
| A47585 | Did he command any thing in vain? |
| A47585 | Did he find it so clearly there? |
| A47585 | Do you think you should not need some Consequence or other, or help from some other Scripture, to prove''t is Water which is intended there? |
| A47585 | Does not this make as much every way against Laying on of hands upon Officers, as against that on baptized Believers as such? |
| A47585 | Doth it follow because we read not of their Baptism, they were not baptized? |
| A47585 | Doth not Mr. Wills in his Answer to your former Book of Baptism, charge you in much like words, as you do us here? |
| A47585 | For where do we read of their Repentance or Faith, of their being baptized, or their believing the Resurrection of the Dead, or Eternal Judgment? |
| A47585 | He has said here a great deal, and refuted us with as good Arguments as the Scots- man refuted Bellarmin: what is here more than meer Affirmations? |
| A47585 | How well have some of our Brethren written concerning Baptism? |
| A47585 | I desire to know how he would write were he to distinguish between one Hand and several, since Hands are in the Plural Number? |
| A47585 | I grant''t is easy to prove they did, yet when they demand such plain Texts for it, how do you answer them? |
| A47585 | If a bare Affirmation may be taken for a Proof in this, we are answered, and Mr. Danvers has done his business; what is here more? |
| A47585 | If the whole of Religion, or Doctrine of Godliness is comprehended in these six Principles, why should the Apostle call them first Principles? |
| A47585 | Imposition position of hands upon baptized Believers as such? |
| A47585 | In the days of the Apostles, the Holy Spirit produced miraculous Effects, but neither always, nor at all in all Men; Are all workers of Miracles? |
| A47585 | Let all Men here consider his partiality; Is this a Precept in so many words, Lay hands on all Officers? |
| A47585 | May it not be admired to see Men of such Light and Conscience be only pleased with the Theory and notional part of an Ordinance of Christ? |
| A47585 | May we not safely argue, that the Laying on of hands, which follows here in order of words, is what followed in order of practice? |
| A47585 | Mind that the Apostle is speaking only here of the first Principles of the Doctrine of Christ; are they not so called? |
| A47585 | Must not they, and them, mean all who are said to be baptized? |
| A47585 | Must we be their Enemies for telling them the truth? |
| A47585 | Nay, what Ordinance has not? |
| A47585 | Or shall we think the Apostle did not pray for the Women as well as the Men, the weaker Vessels, as well as the stronger? |
| A47585 | Ought not we to stand fast, and hold the Traditions we have been taught? |
| A47585 | Shall it not trouble our Spirits, when Persons labour to take away the Childrens Bread, or spill any of their sweet and heavenly Milk upon the ground? |
| A47585 | The Doctor''s Rule is ever to be followed, the Lord open his eyes; for how doth this clearly overthrow all his Arguments for Infant- Baptism? |
| A47585 | The Holy Spirit is promised to them that are baptized; but because some received the Spirit before baptized, needed they not be baptized? |
| A47585 | The Pedobaptists say, how can you prove by so many plain words, that Women received the Lord''s Supper? |
| A47585 | They continued in the Apostles Doctrine? |
| A47585 | This Observation for the honour of the Priesthood, did descend from the Scriptures; If you ask me where it is written? |
| A47585 | Vnto what then were ye baptized? |
| A47585 | Vnto what then were ye baptized? |
| A47585 | Was not the Hebrew Church the Church at Jerusalem? |
| A47585 | What Men can speak more fully to a Text? |
| A47585 | What can they instance in the Case, since what they mention of such and such Effects which followed, proves nothing in the least? |
| A47585 | What uncharitable thoughts do they retain of their Brethren? |
| A47585 | Where is Laying on of hands commanded by Christ? |
| A47585 | Where is that Laying on of hands taught, which he affirms to be a Principle of Christ''s Doctrine? |
| A47585 | Who told them so? |
| A47585 | Why should Mr. Danvers presume to say these Men confess the Scripture is but a probable ground, and that Tradition and Antiquity is the more certain? |
| A47585 | Why should he have a greater esteem for one than for another Institution? |
| A47585 | Why should they be offended at us for having an equal love to all the Commandments of Christ? |
| A47585 | Why should you make such a stir about an express Command? |
| A47585 | Would any judg this Good Divinity? |
| A47585 | Yet there is a further Promise made to thee, as thou art a Believer in Jesus Christ: and what can a poor Saint do without the Spirit? |
| A47585 | after Faith and Illumination, did baptize with? |
| A47585 | and Paul to the Disciples at Ephesus, and to Timothy? |
| A47585 | and is it not promised to all the Sons and Handmaids? |
| A47585 | and is not the End and Work of the Office( however called to it) one and the same? |
| A47585 | and is not this worthy of Commendation? |
| A47585 | and shall we think they did not pray for them all? |
| A47585 | and what guilt, on this Consideration, do they bring on their own Souls? |
| A47585 | and what outward Tribulations art thou( who professest the Gospel) exposed to? |
| A47585 | and who are the strong Men? |
| A47585 | are all workers of Miracles? |
| A47585 | but yet how have they opposed this other sacred Ordinance, or holy Oracle of God? |
| A47585 | do all speak with Tongues? |
| A47585 | do all speak with Tongues? |
| A47585 | had not all the like need of God''s Spirit? |
| A47585 | have all the Gift of Healing? |
| A47585 | i. e. they also are necessary only to be taught and known by all, and none concern''d in the personal practice of them? |
| A47585 | in so many plain words, Let all Believers eat the Lord''s Supper, or in Acts 2.41, 42? |
| A47585 | is it not by Inferences? |
| A47585 | may he not as well speak so concerning Repentance, Faith, and Baptism, as of this Principle? |
| A47585 | must all be baptized with the Baptism of the Spirit, and of Sufferings? |
| A47585 | must it be plainly laid down, or exprest in the Commission, or else no Divine Institution? |
| A47585 | or how could the Apostle say, he would leave them to go on to perfection? |
| A47585 | said in so many plain words, Let all Believers be baptized? |
| A47585 | tearing and dividing the Body of Christ, Will- worship, nay being under the dreadful Curse of Adding to the Word of God? |
| A47585 | that Ananias put his hands upon Saul, that he might receive his sight? |
| A47585 | the Antients who have written concerning Laying on of Hands? |
| A47585 | therefore need not I be baptized? |
| A47585 | thus speaking, Tell me, why there should be any such Confirmation, seeing no one Tittle thereof can be found in Scripture? |
| A47585 | to be baptiz''d therewith? |
| A47585 | what Temptations dost thou meet with, what Lusts and Corruptions still hast thou to mortify? |
| A47585 | why should he say then, it was for the extraordinary Gifts of the Spirit? |
| A47585 | yea, and made them obedient thereto? |
| A47448 | 1. of this Chapter; the Holy Apostle says thus, i. e. What shall we say then? |
| A47448 | 12, 14, 39,& c. But do we reprobate our Children because we Baptise them not? |
| A47448 | 12. to prove Baptism is Dipping or a figure of a burial? |
| A47448 | 3 saith he, know ye not that so many of us as were Baptised into Christ, were Baptized into his Death? |
| A47448 | 4. is not here more Covenants than one? |
| A47448 | 41. proves no such, thing: What tho` the Babe leaped in the Womb of Elizabeth, doth that prove the Babe had faith or the habit of it? |
| A47448 | Again, he saith, how can any Man know they have faith, since he never saw any sign of it, neither was he told so by any that could tell? |
| A47448 | Again, he says, This deceitful Man hides the Sense and meaning of them from the World; Doth not this saviour of great malice? |
| A47448 | Alas, they want Power to do it for themselves, and how then should they do it for others? |
| A47448 | And brought them out and said, Sirs what must I do to be saved? |
| A47448 | And if this was so, how then was the way and ordinance of God in their Holy administration, one and the same in all the Churches of the Saints? |
| A47448 | And to these customs the Apostle alludes when he says, How shall we that are dead to Sin live any longer therein? |
| A47448 | And what would this Man make a new Bible, have a new rule, to tell us of things never heard of? |
| A47448 | And will any Man( says he) ye ●, will Paul ascribe all this to those that did not so much as profess the things signified? |
| A47448 | Answer, Are these Savoury expressions? |
| A47448 | Answer, Doth the Holy Ghost there refer to this change, or is Baptism a promise or a precept? |
| A47448 | Answer, Friend, may not you be found( as far as you know) to assert false things of Jesus Christ? |
| A47448 | Answer, I would know whether God is now in Covenant with Abrahams natural Seed as such; or are they not rejected? |
| A47448 | Answer, Is not the Jewish Church State dissolved, and doth not Dr. Owen tell you their Old Covenant is gone? |
| A47448 | Answer, Is this to shew your great wisdom? |
| A47448 | Answer, Must the Carnal Seed be Members of the Gospel- Church as under the Law, or is it else not a better Covenant that God has established? |
| A47448 | Answer, Sir, what reason do you give for this? |
| A47448 | Answer, Where did God expresly forbid Abraham to circumcise his Male Infants, on the 7th or 9th day, or not to circumcise Female Infants? |
| A47448 | Besides, we see they never mind nor regard their Covenant in the Case: and will not God one Day say, Who has required these things at your Hands? |
| A47448 | But Friend, how can you hold Communion with such persons who have a counterfeit Baptism? |
| A47448 | But Sir, are your Infants Church Members with you; doth the Church you belong unto consists of such as of the Adult? |
| A47448 | But are our Children a part of our selves and are we not believers without our Children? |
| A47448 | But sure, Sir, you mistake; your learning fails you: Will the food you eat feed your Wife? |
| A47448 | But which of all these shall we give credit to? |
| A47448 | Ca nt Men write upon controversible points without such bitterness, and reviling language? |
| A47448 | Can God be glorified by Man''s Disobedience, or by adding to his Word; by doing that which God hath not required? |
| A47448 | Can God be said to believe for us, or can there be faith in any subject, and yet no knowledg of the object, no nor one rational act exerted? |
| A47448 | Can a natural Church consisting of whole Parishes, Families, and Provinces, be all one with Gospel Congregational Churches of believers only? |
| A47448 | Can any of those that feed on the Flesh of Christ and drink his Blood, perish? |
| A47448 | Did ever any Man before now intimate that Baptism is the essential part of circumcision? |
| A47448 | Disprove it if you can? |
| A47448 | Do we say, the promise of the New Covenant God made to Abraham is dissolved? |
| A47448 | Doth Rantism or sprinkling bear any proportion to those great mysteries, here mentioned? |
| A47448 | Doth not that imply they went out of it? |
| A47448 | Doth she believe when you believe, because she is part of you, as here you intimate? |
| A47448 | Faith was reckoned to Abraham for Righteousness; how was it then reckoned, when he was in Circumcision, or in Uncircumcision? |
| A47448 | For''t is expresly said, Christ called that Child to him he was able to come, no doubt whom Christ called: Could an Infant do that? |
| A47448 | Friend, what Babes were they Peter Speaks of? |
| A47448 | Friend, what shall we think of you and your Papers? |
| A47448 | Hath he been as good as his word, or hath he not? |
| A47448 | How can Water, saith Mr. Charnock, an external thing, work upon the Soul physically? |
| A47448 | How can you presume to assert, that they did not go out of the House? |
| A47448 | How can you say Page 7. that they were all Baptized in his own House, when the Text speaks not any such thing? |
| A47448 | How dare Men adventure, this being so, to change Baptism from Dipping into Sprinkling, and the Subject, from an Adult Believer, to an ignorant Babe? |
| A47448 | How was it then reckoned? |
| A47448 | How will he escape, who says a Man should not Steal, if he Steals? |
| A47448 | I also ask you whether the Jewish Church that was founded upon that Old Covenant, is not gone and dissolved? |
| A47448 | I ask you whether there was no Covenant made with Abraham, that belonged to his Natural Seed as such only? |
| A47448 | I wish he knew his own Spirit and Weakness better, and not thus to admire what he hath done: Doth he think there is none can answer his Arguments? |
| A47448 | I would know since you speak only of those habits to be in Believers Infants, whether they were infused before they were born or after? |
| A47448 | If Infants as such were not included in the Covenant of Grace God made with Abraham, how can dying Infants be saved? |
| A47448 | If Infants believe they know the object of their Faith; can any believe in him, whom they know not? |
| A47448 | If any should say, why did you not cite these Assertions of Mr. B ● ● tn''s whilst he was living? |
| A47448 | If we act according to the authority of Christ in Baptism, is not our Baptism good? |
| A47448 | If we have it not here, saith Mr. Richard Baxter, where have it we? |
| A47448 | In Page 82. he saith, speaking of Mr. Collins, was there ever such Legerdemain played with the Sacred Scripture? |
| A47448 | In a Word; Can they make the Child or Children to repent and truly believe in Jesus Christ? |
| A47448 | Infants have is it their own, do they believe themselves or their Parents for them? |
| A47448 | Is here a word of the Cross, or suffering for Christ, or that we are Baptized to shew we must suffer Martyrdom with Christ? |
| A47448 | Is it not gone, are his Carnal Seed as such still in Covenant with God, or are they not with their external legal Covenant cast out? |
| A47448 | Is it not of your own making and devising? |
| A47448 | Is it safe to Scoff and make a sport when we write about Sacred things? |
| A47448 | Is it said he blessed them with spiritual blessings? |
| A47448 | Is it said they were baptized in the Jaylors House? |
| A47448 | Is not that distinction Mr. Collins speaks of, clearly laid down in these Scripture? |
| A47448 | Is nothing required say I, of Adult believers but passive Obedience? |
| A47448 | Is the Apostle speaking here of a Legal Federal Holiness? |
| A47448 | Is this to make the Holy God, a God of order, or of confusion? |
| A47448 | My Answer is, Must Infants of believers, as such, be comprehended in that Covenant, God made with Abraham, or else can they not be saved? |
| A47448 | No saving our Baptism and Churches from sinking to the bottom, which he hath so furiously attacked? |
| A47448 | Now can any of these things concern, or belong to Abraham ● Spiritual Seed, as such, that is, do they concern us Gentiles who do believe? |
| A47448 | Now can this be a Truth, since Christ who was more faithful than Moses, and delivered every thing plainly from the Father? |
| A47448 | Now will you say, if the Face or Head only of a Dead Corps was covered with Earth, and not the whole Body, that the Corps was buried? |
| A47448 | Or do we say, those Jews that believed or their Elect Infants were cast out of the Covenant of Grace? |
| A47448 | Or, that a Man should not commit Adultery, if he commits Adultery? |
| A47448 | Our Saviour shews the danger of rash Judgment; and what have ● e to do to judge our Fellow Servant, much less Churches? |
| A47448 | Page of your Book? |
| A47448 | Question, What is an Instituted Church of the Gospel? |
| A47448 | Sir, What think you now of two Covenants, and of a Covenant of peculiarity with Abraham''s Carnal Seed? |
| A47448 | Sir, why did you not answer these arguments? |
| A47448 | Such we grant are not true Ministers; but doth not he, think you, refer to such who were not trained up in School Learning? |
| A47448 | That we impose those Doctrins upon the People: Dare you falsly charge and condemn the innocent? |
| A47448 | Then I hope you will only have Elect Infants to be Baptised, and how do you know which they are, since they can make no confession of Faith? |
| A47448 | These in plain words are not forbid, are they therefore lawful? |
| A47448 | This being so, to what purpose do you make such a stir about the word Everlasting? |
| A47448 | To this Mr. Shute says, pray where do you find this distinction concerning the everlasting Covenant God made with Abraham, and his Seed? |
| A47448 | Was God the God of all Abrahams Carnal Seed as such; by way of special interest? |
| A47448 | Was it from the pain that circumcision put the Infants to, that the Apostle calls it a Yoke, that neither they nor their Fathers could bear? |
| A47448 | What Enemy could reproach us worse? |
| A47448 | What Text can be wronged worse? |
| A47448 | What can not God do? |
| A47448 | What could Goliah of Gath, or proud Rabshaketh say more? |
| A47448 | What difference is there between Baptisma( Greek) and Baptism? |
| A47448 | What is become now of your everlasting Covenant, God made with all the People of Israel or natural Seed of Abraham? |
| A47448 | What is required of Persons to be baptized? |
| A47448 | What of this? |
| A47448 | What reason hath he also to affirm, that none believed but the Jaylor himself? |
| A47448 | What, a Church under the Law and not a legal Church? |
| A47448 | When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? |
| A47448 | Where are you now with your humane invented, Lame, Decrepit Salvation,& c. Are not these Unchristian Reflections? |
| A47448 | Where did Christ forbid Infants of Believers, the Lords Supper? |
| A47448 | Where hath Christ forbid Baptizing of Turks, and Insidels, or the Children of unbelievers? |
| A47448 | Where is crossing in Baptism forbid, or Popists Salt Spittle, or Crisom or other Popish rites? |
| A47448 | Whether Children are in the Covenant of Grace, absolutely or conditionally? |
| A47448 | Whether in matters of meer positive right, such as Baptism is, we ought not to keep expresly and punctually to the revealed will of the Lawgiver? |
| A47448 | Whether our Baptism be a Truth of Christ, or a Counterfeit, will appear in our Answer; but why are we no Churches? |
| A47448 | Whether that can be an ordinance of Christ to which there is neither precept nor example? |
| A47448 | Why did this Man leave the Church of England? |
| A47448 | Why do we say that Irrational creatures are not fit Soil for the Seed of the word? |
| A47448 | Would you not have us give the true sense of the Word wherein we concur with all learned Men? |
| A47448 | Yet what is this to the Infants of Believers, as such? |
| A47448 | You confess he did not Baptize them; did he them give them habitual Faith for that blessing you plead for to be in Infants? |
| A47448 | You might have added many other Places of Scripture, where we read of Sprinkling: But what would it signify? |
| A47448 | and whether Circumcision did not belong to that Covenant, and so a Covenant of Peculiarity? |
| A47448 | are there any Acts precedent ▪ concomitant or consequent to this pretended habit? |
| A47448 | but since you know so well, pray what spiritual blessings were they? |
| A47448 | can a few drops on the Face represent that; or what representation is there in that of a Resurrection? |
| A47448 | did not God take away the first, that he might establish the second? |
| A47448 | doth not the Apostle exclude the Carnal Seed of Abraham as such; from being included in the Covenant of Grace? |
| A47448 | doth that figure o ● hold forth the burial of Christ, or that of the old Man? |
| A47448 | dying Infants in; differing in any point or part of it, from that wherein he saves Adult believers? |
| A47448 | have you any ground to run that parallel from any Text of Scripture? |
| A47448 | himself? |
| A47448 | how saith he, could this token of the Covenant be everlasting, if the Essence thereof was dissolved upon the coming in of the Gospel? |
| A47448 | how then could this be the unchangeable Covenant of Grace? |
| A47448 | how then were any dying Infants saved before Abraham''s days, or before the Covenant was made with him? |
| A47448 | i. e. in which Gentile believers, and their Seed were no ways concerned; was not Christ to come only of Abraham and his Seed, according to the flesh? |
| A47448 | if so what doth your arguing prove, nor is there a new Gospel national Church like the Church of the Jews instituted in the room of the old? |
| A47448 | if you should, would you not be laught at? |
| A47448 | is it not because they have no understanding? |
| A47448 | is that Branch of our Baptism a counterfeit also? |
| A47448 | is that in our power? |
| A47448 | is this the Spirit of Jesus Christ? |
| A47448 | know you not, that so many of us who were Baptized into Christ were Baptized into his Death, both in sign and signification? |
| A47448 | of Grace, yet how do you prove God doth regenerate Infants in the Womb or Cradle? |
| A47448 | or can Baptism bring into, or cast out of Gods election? |
| A47448 | or was it not rather because it lay them under an obligation to keep the whole Law? |
| A47448 | or will your Faith serve her? |
| A47448 | the Blessings of the Covenant of Grace made with the Root Abraham; but what is this to our Carnal Seed as such? |
| A47448 | the Old House and Old legal Right of Church- membership is overturned and r ● oted out for ever? |
| A47448 | tho''''t is thus in the Adult, must this Spirit of Faith or the Habit of Faith be therefore in Infants of Relievers also? |
| A47448 | what Covenant is that which the Apostle says, is took away and difanulled? |
| A47448 | where do you find any command for the Infant Seed of believers, to stay till they are Adult, to be Baptized? |
| A47448 | ● ● y, ● ● w 〈 ◊ 〉 on know but that all Infants dying in Infancy may be elected? |
| A41824 | ( If so) then why can not Men partake of the Lord''s Table, and the Table of Devils? |
| A41824 | ( If so) then why can not Men that drink of this Cup, drink also of the Cup of Devils? |
| A41824 | 28. to Dip and Sprinkle? |
| A41824 | And Pray how can any meet in his Name or Power, if they be not in it? |
| A41824 | And do you think that he used One Baptism to them, and commanded them to use Another to them that believe in him? |
| A41824 | And have I not more ground for it, than you have for Paul''s NOT ONLY?) |
| A41824 | And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye Baptized? |
| A41824 | And how must we do to know it? |
| A41824 | And how was he then? |
| A41824 | And if all Fulness dwell in Christ, as the Scripture saith, then what is there in Figures, Types, and Shadows? |
| A41824 | And now, you Water- Baptists, let me ask, Now where is Iohn''s Power? |
| A41824 | And pray what is the Table of the Lord? |
| A41824 | And pray, if they had, what would it do for them? |
| A41824 | And pray, wherein doth Christ exceed Moses, if he give them not Bread that far excels Moses''s Bread? |
| A41824 | And surely I may say, if he be with his People to the end, what is it that can be too hard for him, and them he makes use of? |
| A41824 | And though you may say, All are not sent to Baptize: Then I ask you, How must we do to know who are, and who are not? |
| A41824 | And was not the Israelites got out of the Faith, and out of the Power of God, when they looked back at the Host of Pharaoh? |
| A41824 | And what did they preach? |
| A41824 | And who Baptized them unto Moses? |
| A41824 | Answer, Nor doth he say, there is but one God, but one Lord, but one Faith, but one Hope,& c. What then? |
| A41824 | But altho''you should still say, Why then did the Apostles use it, after the Spirit''s Baptism was accomplish''d? |
| A41824 | But do these Men think ▪ a Man can not be dipped or plunged into any thing but Water? |
| A41824 | But further, you acknowledge your selves, that it is but a Type: Well, I ask you then, What doth it type forth unto us? |
| A41824 | But let me ask a little further: Pray what is this Cup of Blessing? |
| A41824 | But let me ask, Wherein stands the Communion and Unity of Christ''s Followers? |
| A41824 | But now Jesus Christ is glorified, and the Holy Ghost is given; then whither must we now go? |
| A41824 | But says the Priest, What outward Act did the Apostles use, when they Baptized with that Baptism, into the Name? |
| A41824 | But some may object and say, Is there nothing to be done in order to Baptize Men into the Name, but to Teach? |
| A41824 | But they might have said, Why John, why must thou decrease? |
| A41824 | But what were they of old plunged into, that were Baptized unto Moses in the Cloud and Sea? |
| A41824 | But why are the Professors of our Age so laborious for outward Bread? |
| A41824 | Can Children of God, Members of Christ, be miserable Sinners then, when they are in a Child''s State, and Members of Christ? |
| A41824 | Can any Sanctifie but Christ? |
| A41824 | Can it reach either Heart or Conscience? |
| A41824 | Can outward Water be excluded out of this Sentence? |
| A41824 | Christ said, They could not: And, Can any Man be both a Servant of Christ, and a Servant of Sin also? |
| A41824 | Did any but Christ, or can any other than Christ, give us this Living Water? |
| A41824 | Did not he abide in the Power of God, and in Faith? |
| A41824 | Do you think that he Baptized them with the Holy Ghost, and then sent them out to Baptize with Water? |
| A41824 | Doth Christ reign, rule, and sit as King over all? |
| A41824 | Doth it not blast the Fame of Christ Jesus, and his great Name, for Men to say they are Christians, and are not? |
| A41824 | Doth not Peter clearly shew, it was not outward washing the filth of the Flesh, but the cleansing of the Heart and Conscience? |
| A41824 | Doth not the Apostle say, as before, He that Sanctifieth, and they who are Sanctified, are all of one? |
| A41824 | For he hath all Fulness dwelling in him, and if we partake not of his Fulness, what is it we can partake of, that can do us any good? |
| A41824 | For if it did not reach Paul, who was Converted, and one not behind the Chiefest of the Apostles, how can it reach you? |
| A41824 | God forbid: For to us there is but One Lord: And he doth not say, There is but One Faith; must we therefore say, There are more Faiths than One? |
| A41824 | How comes it to pass, that you are greater sharers in this Commission than Paul? |
| A41824 | How oft have you been reproved by it? |
| A41824 | How then? |
| A41824 | How? |
| A41824 | How? |
| A41824 | I say, what Reason can be shown for the laying it wholly aside, and upholding their Dipping into, or Sprinkling with Water? |
| A41824 | I tell you? |
| A41824 | If it be a Type of the Baptism of Christ, then I ask you, What further need there is of it, when the thing signified by it is come? |
| A41824 | If it be not that Bread, are you sure that Christ''s Blessings goes along with it? |
| A41824 | Is he? |
| A41824 | Is it an outward Cup? |
| A41824 | Is it not Bread that perisheth? |
| A41824 | Is it not as weak and beggarly as other Elements are? |
| A41824 | Is it not his Power? |
| A41824 | Is it not in Christ? |
| A41824 | Is it not plainly said, Into Christ? |
| A41824 | Is it not sadly to be lamented, that People should be fed with Husk, when there is Bread enough in God''s House, and to spare? |
| A41824 | Is it outward? |
| A41824 | It will one day be said, Who hath required these things at your hands? |
| A41824 | It''s true; but is Christ only( without any thing else being joined unto him) all in all, unto all Mankind? |
| A41824 | Mark this, The Name of Iesus; what if he had said, the Power of Jesus? |
| A41824 | Mark, Had Iohn''s Baptism been in the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, then how should they but have heard of a Holy Ghost? |
| A41824 | May we say there is any more? |
| A41824 | Must we yet run to Moses, for the Bread that perisheth; or to Christ, for the Bread that endures to Everlasting Life? |
| A41824 | No, nor doth he not say, There is but One Lord; must we therefore say, There are more Lords than One? |
| A41824 | Nor wholly preach his Baptism useless, nor the Law neither, until such time as the Gospel had got some hold of the People? |
| A41824 | Now I conclude, that the Dead you mean, are such as are dead to Sin; and if so, how can ye that are dead to Sin, live any longer therein? |
| A41824 | Now if Paul was not sent to Baptize, as it''s clear he was not, how then can we think in Reason, that others were? |
| A41824 | Now it''s plainly said, that as Iohn fulfilled his Course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? |
| A41824 | Now what is the Devil''s Table? |
| A41824 | Oh where had you Commission for these things? |
| A41824 | Or can any Man conclude, that Paul here speaks of Water- Baptism? |
| A41824 | Or do you think that Type and Substance must remain together to the World''s End? |
| A41824 | Or is it Unleavened Bread, Passover- Bread? |
| A41824 | Or to Iohn either? |
| A41824 | Or to do any other Work? |
| A41824 | Or what is it a Type of? |
| A41824 | Paul laboured that their Faith might not stand in the Wisdom of Man, but in the Power of God, or Name of God; is it not all One, or Name of Jesus? |
| A41824 | Pray let me ask, What is the Bread that you break, is it Living Bread? |
| A41824 | Pray what is he, the Last, or the End of, if not of all Shadows, Types, Figures, and Changeable Things, as well as of Sin? |
| A41824 | Pray where was Moses then? |
| A41824 | Shew us your Commission: Where did you receive your Power and Authority in this matter, that you both Preach and Baptize? |
| A41824 | Surely these must needs be empty, if all dwell in Christ, and that he be all in all? |
| A41824 | The Apostles never called it, as you do, An Initiating Ordinance, and( say you) A Command of Christ: But who says so besides you? |
| A41824 | The Bread which we break, is it not the Communion of the Body of Christ? |
| A41824 | The Disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the Passover? |
| A41824 | The People came to Iohn, and asked him, saying unto him, Why Baptizest thou, if thou be not that Christ, neither Elias, nor that Prophet? |
| A41824 | Was it not always from the Foundation of the Law, that when the Substance came, then the Shadows fled away? |
| A41824 | Was it not the Lord''s Work or Power that brought them to Moses, that stood in the Power of God, and in the Living Faith? |
| A41824 | Was not the Unleavened Bread( that Moses gave) Bread that perishes? |
| A41824 | Well, But He comes to thee to be Baptized of thee? |
| A41824 | Well, Iohn; And what will He do for us? |
| A41824 | Well, let me ask you, Are you thus Dead, Buried, and Risen with him by your Water- Baptism? |
| A41824 | What Advantage is this to your Souls? |
| A41824 | What Baptism? |
| A41824 | What Rule, what Title of a Word can be shewed for these things in all Holy Scripture? |
| A41824 | What Wisdom is there in doing thus, to give Money and Labour for that which is worth neither? |
| A41824 | What good Fruits follow our Sprinkling of Infants, and Dippers? |
| A41824 | When the fullness of time was come,( what then?) |
| A41824 | Where do you prove it? |
| A41824 | Wherefore do ye spend your Money for that which is not Bread, and your Labour for that which satisfieth not? |
| A41824 | Who Commanded you? |
| A41824 | Who sent you, that run into these things? |
| A41824 | Who would not live in her? |
| A41824 | Who, who would not dwell here? |
| A41824 | Will not he Baptize with Water? |
| A41824 | Would you have this Hole to creep out at? |
| A41824 | Yea, and Moses was a Prophet; how then is the least in the Kingdom greater than Iohn, and so consequently greater than Moses? |
| A41824 | Yes, but Iohn forbad Him, saying, I have need to be Baptized of Thee, and comest thou to me? |
| A41824 | and so it was called Blasphemy of Old, as you may see in this Scripture, to say, they were Iews, and were not; and what is it now? |
| A41824 | and so must have been in place to the end of the World, how could he pass it by, and only say, there is one Baptism? |
| A41824 | he saith, I have manifested thy Name unto the Men which thou gavest me: What is here meant by this Name? |
| A41824 | that the fulness of time was come; pray what fulness was this? |
| A41824 | that what he received of the Lord, was that which he also delivered unto them: What was that? |
| A41824 | what would you have? |
| A41824 | whoever sent you, Baptists, in this great and notable Day of the Lord? |
| A30138 | 1, 2. it must have place here or no where: why are those things called first Principles, if not first to be believed, and practised? |
| A30138 | 5. or to put them to shame before all that see your acts? |
| A30138 | Again, This is that which he seeketh for among the Corinthians; If the dead rise not at all, saith he, why then were you baptized for the dead? |
| A30138 | And all the rest they baptized, were they not left free to joyn themselves for their convenience, and Edification? |
| A30138 | And did ever God send an Ordinance to be a Pest and Plague to his People? |
| A30138 | And doth not the Lord as well require, the sign of Baptism now, as of Cirumcision then? |
| A30138 | And now I ask, What was the reason that God continued his Presence with this Church notwithstanding this transgression? |
| A30138 | And why is MY Rank so mean, that the most gracious and godly among you, may not duly and soberly consider of what I have said? |
| A30138 | And why may not I give it the Name of a Shew; when you call it a symbole, and compare it to a Gentleman''s Livery? |
| A30138 | And, are there no publick Christians, or publick Christian- Meetings, but them of your way? |
| A30138 | Are not my words verbatim these? |
| A30138 | Are not you commanded to keep out of the Church all that are not circumcised? |
| A30138 | As to the Query, What reason is there, why the Lord should suffer any of his Ordinances to be lost? |
| A30138 | B. C. of a Christian, and the beginning of Christianity, Milk for Babes, if it be no matter whether Baptism be practised or no? |
| A30138 | Because they are not baptized; have they not Jesus Christ? |
| A30138 | Besides, To what particular Church was the Epistle to the Hebrews wrote? |
| A30138 | Besides, the Proposition is universal, why then should you be the chief intended? |
| A30138 | But I say, why did John call them Vipers? |
| A30138 | But I would ask these men, If the Word of God came out from them? |
| A30138 | But are there not with you, even with you sins against the Lord your God? |
| A30138 | But are these words of Faith, or do the Scriptures only help you to seeming Imports, and me- hap- soes for your practice? |
| A30138 | But doth that install it in that place and dignity, that was never intended for it? |
| A30138 | But good Sir, are you now for unwritten verities? |
| A30138 | But good Sir, why so short- winded? |
| A30138 | But how came Diotrephes so lately into our parts? |
| A30138 | But how will you prove that there was a Church, a rightly constituted Church at Rome, besides that in Aquila''s house? |
| A30138 | But must not they use, and enjoy what they know, because they know not all? |
| A30138 | But say you, We have now found an Advocate for Sin against GOD, in the breach of one of HIS holy Commands? |
| A30138 | But say you, Wherein lies the force of this man''s Argument against Baptism as to its place, worth, and continuance? |
| A30138 | But say you, Who taught you to divide betwixt Christ and his Precepts, that you word it at such a rate? |
| A30138 | But suppose they were all Baptized, because they had light therein, what then? |
| A30138 | But what acts of disobedience do we indulge them in? |
| A30138 | But what if a man want Light in his Duty to the Poor? |
| A30138 | But what if a man want Light in the Supper? |
| A30138 | But what is there in my Proposition, that men, considerate, can be offended at? |
| A30138 | But what need I grant you that which can not be proved? |
| A30138 | But what was the Spirit of Diotrephes? |
| A30138 | But what, if when he hath used it, he still continueth dark about it; what will you advise him now? |
| A30138 | But what? |
| A30138 | But what? |
| A30138 | But where are they here forbidden to teach them other Truths, before they be baptized? |
| A30138 | But why can you indulge the Baptists in many acts of disobedience? |
| A30138 | But why did you not Answer these parts of my Argument? |
| A30138 | But why did you not shew me my evil in thus calling it, when opposed to the Substance, and the thing signified? |
| A30138 | But why do YOU throw out FAITH? |
| A30138 | But why not consult with others, is Wisdom to die with you? |
| A30138 | But why so much offended at this? |
| A30138 | But why would they take from us the Holy Scriptures? |
| A30138 | But will any object; they can not believe that God receiveth the unbaptized Saints? |
| A30138 | But you ask me, If outward and bodily Conformity be become a crime? |
| A30138 | But you ask, Is my peace maintained in a way of disobedience? |
| A30138 | But you bid me tell you, What I mean by Spirit- Baptism? |
| A30138 | But you descant; Is Baptism none of the Laws of Christ? |
| A30138 | But you object, Must our Love to the unbaptized indulge them in an act of disobedience? |
| A30138 | But, I say, wherein is the Proposition offensive? |
| A30138 | But, Sir, Are none but those of your way the publick Christians? |
| A30138 | But, Sir, who have I pleaded for, in the denyal of any one Ordinance of God? |
| A30138 | By which Professors seem widingly led, though against so many plain Commands and Examples, written as with a Sun- beam, that he that runs may read? |
| A30138 | Can not we love their Persons, Parts, Graces, but we must love their Sins? |
| A30138 | Can you build and leave out a stone in the Foundation? |
| A30138 | Consent and nothing else? |
| A30138 | Do you allow their Sprinkling? |
| A30138 | Do you allow their signing with the Cross? |
| A30138 | Do you more to the open Prophane, yea, to all Wizards and Witches in the Land? |
| A30138 | Doth this prove that Baptism is essential to Church- Communion? |
| A30138 | First, By whom? |
| A30138 | For he asketh me very devoutly, Whether any unbaptized Persons were concerned in these Epistles? |
| A30138 | For if he did not heed who himself had baptized, much less did he heed who were baptized by others? |
| A30138 | Further, I make a question upon three Scriptures, Whether all the Saints, even in the Primitive times, were baptized with Water? |
| A30138 | Further, Suppose I should grant this groundless Notion, Were not the Jews in Old Testament times to enter the Church by Circumcision? |
| A30138 | Hath not God chosen the foolish, the weak, the base, yea and even things that are not, to bring to nought things that are? |
| A30138 | Hath not man''s wisdom interposed to darken this part of God''s Counsel? |
| A30138 | Have I such an Argument in all my little Book? |
| A30138 | How comes contesting for Water- baptism to be so much against you? |
| A30138 | I say again, Should any so conclude hence, would not all Experience prove him void of Truth? |
| A30138 | If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why smitest thou me? |
| A30138 | If it be good, and godly, why may it not be accepted? |
| A30138 | If it be said Water- baptism is not there intended, let them shew me how many Baptisms there are besides Water- baptism? |
| A30138 | If it be, why is it not imbraced? |
| A30138 | If you bid him wait, do you not encourage him to live in sin, as much as I do? |
| A30138 | Is Christ divided? |
| A30138 | Is it an Inward one? |
| A30138 | Is it not a wicked thing to make bars to Communion, where God hath made none? |
| A30138 | Is it the Substance, is it the thing signified? |
| A30138 | Is not that the very entring- Ordinance? |
| A30138 | Is not this the Carpenter? |
| A30138 | Is there more Precepts or Precedents for the Supper, than Baptism? |
| A30138 | Is there no Precept for this Practice, that it must be thus despised? |
| A30138 | Is this the way of your retaliation? |
| A30138 | It is a Command? |
| A30138 | May he not shew to, or conceal from this, or another of his Servants, which of his Truths he pleaseth? |
| A30138 | May you indeed receive Persons into the Church unprepared for the Lord''s- Supper; yea, unprepared for that, with other solemn Appointments? |
| A30138 | Must God be called to an account by you, why he giveth more Light about the Supper, than Baptism? |
| A30138 | Must we go to Hell, and be damned for want of Faith in Water- baptism? |
| A30138 | My last Argument, you say is this; The World may wonder at your carriage to those Unbaptized Persons, in keeping them out of Communion? |
| A30138 | NOTHING else but Consent? |
| A30138 | Need I reade you a Lecture? |
| A30138 | Neither is Baptism any thing? |
| A30138 | Now I will add, But what if he that can give a shilling, giveth nothing? |
| A30138 | Or are you afraid lest the Truth should invade your quarters? |
| A30138 | Or do you count all that your selves have no hand in, done to your disparagement? |
| A30138 | Or must they neglect the weightier matters, because they want Mint, and Annise, and Commin? |
| A30138 | Or, are these such as may better be broken, than for want of light to forbear Baptism with Water? |
| A30138 | Or, are you become so high in your own phantasies, that none have, or are to have but private means of Grace? |
| A30138 | Or, must their Graces be increased by none but private means? |
| A30138 | Or, must we now be afraid to say Christ is better than Water- baptism? |
| A30138 | Or, ought none but them that are baptized to have the publick means of Grace? |
| A30138 | Or, whether Christ hath not given his whole Word to every one that believeth, whether they be baptized, or in, or out of Church- Fellowship? |
| A30138 | Or, whether every Saint in some sort, hath not the keyes of the Kingdom of Heaven, which are the Scriptures and their Power? |
| A30138 | Secondly, By whom, and to what, he that is weak in the Faith, is to be received? |
| A30138 | Secondly, To what? |
| A30138 | Should not the multitude of words be answered? |
| A30138 | Should thy lyes make men hold their peace? |
| A30138 | Suppose all, if all these Churches were baptized, what then? |
| A30138 | That this must be so urged for their excuse: Hath God been more sparing in making out his mind in the one, rather than the other? |
| A30138 | That very few will inquire after it, or submit to it? |
| A30138 | The Bread which we break, is it not the Communion of the Body of Christ? |
| A30138 | The Cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the Communion of the Blood of Christ? |
| A30138 | The United are all the Faithful, in one Body; into whom? |
| A30138 | The second part of the Enquiry is, to what he that is weak in the Faith is to be received? |
| A30138 | To instance no more, although I could instance many, are not they the words of our Lord? |
| A30138 | Was it not because they had that richer and better thing, the Lord Jesus Christ? |
| A30138 | Was it not the art of the false Apostles of old to say thus? |
| A30138 | Was that a New- Testament- Church, or no? |
| A30138 | Was you awake now? |
| A30138 | What Doctrine did it preach to you? |
| A30138 | What a kind of a YOU am I? |
| A30138 | What a many private things have we now brought out to publick view? |
| A30138 | What if I did? |
| A30138 | What is Christ''s Doctrine, Paul''s Doctrine, Scripture- Doctrine, but the Truth couched under the words that are spoken? |
| A30138 | What is here in chief asserted, but the Doctrine only which Water- baptism preacheth? |
| A30138 | What is it? |
| A30138 | What say you to John of Leyden? |
| A30138 | What say you to breaking of Bread, which the Devil, by abusing, made an Engine in the hand of Papists to burn, starve, hang- and- draw thousands? |
| A30138 | What say you to the Church all a- long the Revelation quite through the Reign of Antichrist? |
| A30138 | What say you to the Church in the Wilderness? |
| A30138 | What say you to, This is my Body? |
| A30138 | What was said of Eating, or the contrary, may as to this be said of Water- baptism; Neither if I be baptized, am I the better? |
| A30138 | What work did he make by the abuse of the Ordinance of Water- Baptism? |
| A30138 | What would you have done, had I in the least, either in matter or manner, though but seemingly miscarried among you? |
| A30138 | What? |
| A30138 | What? |
| A30138 | What? |
| A30138 | What? |
| A30138 | Whether it be that of Water, or no? |
| A30138 | Who said it? |
| A30138 | Why did John reject the Pharisees that would have been baptized? |
| A30138 | Why did you only cavil at words? |
| A30138 | Why then do you despise my rank, my state, and quality in the World? |
| A30138 | Why then were you baptized? |
| A30138 | Why, Sir, did you not Answer these things? |
| A30138 | Yea, and for all those that you thus received, are you not commanded to cast them out again, to cut them off from among this people? |
| A30138 | Yea, or for their neglect of it either? |
| A30138 | You add, Is it a Persons Light that giveth being to a Precept? |
| A30138 | You ask again, Suppose men plead want of Light in other Commands? |
| A30138 | You might have stopped at[ and nothing else] you need not in particular have rejected Faith: your first Error was bad enough, what? |
| A30138 | Your thirteenth Argument is, If Obedience must discover the truth of a man''s Faith to others, why must Baptism be shut out? |
| A30138 | Your twelfth Argument is, Why should Professors have more Light in breaking of Bread, than Baptism? |
| A30138 | and Paul examine them that were? |
| A30138 | and how would such an interpretation, foolishly charge the Lord, as if he took care ONLY of those within, but not LIKE care of those without? |
| A30138 | and is there not like reason for it? |
| A30138 | and say, Did I ever find Baptism a Pest or Plague to Churches? |
| A30138 | and should a man full of talk be justified? |
| A30138 | and then to Father these their doings upon God, when yet he hath not commanded it, neither in the New Testament nor the Old? |
| A30138 | and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee an answer? |
| A30138 | are not the poor Saints now in this City? |
| A30138 | are not they concerned in these instructions? |
| A30138 | are not they part of the Scriptures of Truth? |
| A30138 | are they all ESAU''S indeed? |
| A30138 | both those of Peter, and the first of John? |
| A30138 | but may it not be as strongly supposed, that the Presence and Blessing of the Lord Jesus, with his Ministers, is laid upon the same ground also? |
| A30138 | for legal grounds, though not expressed? |
| A30138 | in the fifth verse, in one Lord Jesus Christ; by what? |
| A30138 | neither if I be not, am I the worse? |
| A30138 | not so much as a respect to the matter or end? |
| A30138 | or if it came to them only? |
| A30138 | or is not the Church by these words at all directed how to carry it to those that were not yet in fellowship? |
| A30138 | or the Epistle of James? |
| A30138 | what did Baptism teach you? |
| A30138 | whether only unto mutual affection, as some affirm, as if he were in Church- Fellowship before, that were weak in the Faith? |
| A30138 | why could not you make the same work with the other Scriptures, as you did with these? |
| A30138 | would you have men to receive it with such Consciences? |
| A32091 | ARE not the Eyes of him to whom your Vows are made always upon you? |
| A32091 | And can it be suppos''d, Parents should have great Power over their Children, in Natural Matters, and Civil Affairs, and none in Religious Concerns? |
| A32091 | And can you pretend that you have rightly us''d the Grace that hath been afforded you? |
| A32091 | And did you not heartily wish that you had carefully shunned it, and watched against it? |
| A32091 | And do you think he can observe you running a Round of careless making, and wilful breaking of seemingly Solemn Vows and Promises, and not resent it? |
| A32091 | And doth not their Expresness as well as their Frequency add to their force? |
| A32091 | And hath he not given me his Promise in his Word, and seal''d it at his Table? |
| A32091 | And hide his face from you to convince you of the disingenuity of your dealings with him; and show you how he''s displeased therewith? |
| A32091 | And how Terribly and Violently they may be Assaulted as strong as they apprehend their mountain to stand? |
| A32091 | And how certainly will they be so, without a speedy and sorrowful Repentance? |
| A32091 | And how justly may they be follow''d with an Eternal Vengeance? |
| A32091 | And is this a suitable Return for such Love as his was? |
| A32091 | And may''st thou not reasonably expect to smart for it? |
| A32091 | And might you not have had more, had that but been duly improved? |
| A32091 | And should not this thought shame you? |
| A32091 | And then, 8. and Lastly; WHEN do you expect to arrive at a confirmed State? |
| A32091 | And what can awe us, if not the sight of the Blood of our Dearest Saviour, which was shed to Expiate Sin? |
| A32091 | And what can be too severe for you? |
| A32091 | And what can fire my frozen Heart? |
| A32091 | And what it is that is necessary as a pre- requisite Qualification? |
| A32091 | And what shall I do to retain my Warreth? |
| A32091 | And what, will you never begin? |
| A32091 | And whether they do n''t engage to walk agreeably to all the Laws of the Gospel? |
| A32091 | And why art thou disquieted within me? |
| A32091 | And why may not we be several ways bound and obliged to the same thing? |
| A32091 | And why so false to thy God and Saviour? |
| A32091 | And will you be more unjust to God, than you would to Man? |
| A32091 | And will you not then endeavour to take up? |
| A32091 | And would you not if they had been in your power rather have chosen to have parted with them, than to have gone without it? |
| A32091 | Are they things of greater weight and moment, and that more nearly concern you? |
| A32091 | Are they things your concern about which will turn to better account than your care in this matter? |
| A32091 | But might you not do much more towards the avoiding of Sin; might you not avoid much more Sin than you ordinarily do? |
| A32091 | But what comfort can you ever expect in any thing, the pursuit of which hindred your carefulness to keep your Sacramental Vows? |
| A32091 | But what signifies all this, if thou Vowest, and Breakest; Engagest and Falsifiest thy Word, as soon as thou hast done? |
| A32091 | CAN you imagine your frequent repeating your Vows, at all diminishes your sin or lessens your guilt? |
| A32091 | Can I or any one, so easily forget this, as if it were but once or twice in an whole Lives space that solemn Vows were made? |
| A32091 | Can all he hath done and suffer''d for you, no more influence you, than this comes to? |
| A32091 | Can any thing be more ungrateful? |
| A32091 | Can the Searcher of Hearts be ignorant with how little seriousness you make your Sacramental Vows, and how little you mind them afterwards? |
| A32091 | Can you be satisfied with the lowest degree of Grace that''s saving, and that''s capable of helping you to Heaven? |
| A32091 | Can you ever think to hide from him, who is privy to all your Ways, the Deceitfulness of your Dealing with him? |
| A32091 | Children are bound to stand to any Engagements their Parents come under for them, unless in any thing Sinful and of dangerous consequence? |
| A32091 | Could you have any Patience with them? |
| A32091 | Could you have any regard to them? |
| A32091 | Could you mind any thing that came from them? |
| A32091 | Could''st thou do this without deliberation? |
| A32091 | DO you never think of a Day of Reckoning that''s coming? |
| A32091 | DOTH not God, think you, take notice of your wretched trifling with him? |
| A32091 | Did not Sin then sit heavy upon your Minds, and depress your Spirits? |
| A32091 | Did you not then think an Interest in God and Christ to be worth more than a thousand Worlds? |
| A32091 | Doth Conscience never read you your Doom, summoning you, as''t were, before hand, to the Bar of God? |
| A32091 | Doth it not then deserve many serious thoughts how this sum shall be discharg''d? |
| A32091 | Doth not he search and try you, eye and view you? |
| A32091 | Doth not he see your Warmth and Seriousness at a Sacrament? |
| A32091 | Doth not your Relation to God, and interest in him, make your Breaches the more Provoking? |
| A32091 | Doth not your aggravated Guilt cry aloud for Vengeance? |
| A32091 | For what signifies an Infant Dedication by Parents to the Most High God, tho''ever so Serious? |
| A32091 | For why else shouldst thou desire to be admitted to the Communion, there to renew thy Engagement, and repeat thy Vow? |
| A32091 | HOW far and in what cases such Vows may be dispens''d with? |
| A32091 | Hath not every part of my Duty Benefit attending it? |
| A32091 | Have you not found& tasted it to be a bitter thing to play fast and loose with God; to falsify your Engagements, and break his Bonds? |
| A32091 | Have you not smarted for past Faults, and will you run into the same again? |
| A32091 | Have you not sometimes in your Retirements some pre- apprehensions of a sad Account that you have to give to God another Day? |
| A32091 | He once found himself very despondent: But how doth he chide himself? |
| A32091 | He will never change or draw back: Why then should I? |
| A32091 | How can I do this wickedness and sin against God? |
| A32091 | How comes it then that you let so many out strip you? |
| A32091 | How even, uniform, steddy, vigorous, holy, and heavenly shall some be over others? |
| A32091 | How free and undisturb''d might your Communion with him have been? |
| A32091 | How knows any one he shall have Strength to keep such a Vow, when he hath made it? |
| A32091 | How much Good might you have done in the World? |
| A32091 | How much Honour might you have brought to God? |
| A32091 | How then can their Doctrine hold? |
| A32091 | How ungovernable dost thou show thy self, that such Sacred Transactions as are manag''d at every Sacrament, do no more affect and awe thee? |
| A32091 | I Appeal to all( that will take the pains to read and review it) Whether this Vow thus drawn up, contains any thing unreasonable? |
| A32091 | If Covenant Breakers amongst Men are to be severely punisht; how much more those that break their Vows to the Blessed God? |
| A32091 | If it be not the best Course you can take, why do you vow you''l lead it? |
| A32091 | If it be, why then are you so much worse than your Word? |
| A32091 | If the sense of often repeated engagements is apt to wear off( and who sees not that it too too often does so even in the best?) |
| A32091 | Is it not a bruised, nay, a broken Christ, giving his Soul an Offering for Sin, and shedding his Blood to make Atonement? |
| A32091 | Is not God more dishonour''d by your failures and neglects, than any others whatsoever? |
| A32091 | Is not Gods Honour much in your hands? |
| A32091 | Is not He with whom I have been Transacting able to assist me? |
| A32091 | Is not all this chargeable upon your frequent and sad Breaches of your Sacramental Vows? |
| A32091 | Is not every thing that I have vow''d antecedently my Duty? |
| A32091 | Is this all the Return you''ll make him for his unspeakable Kindness to you? |
| A32091 | Is this like a Christian? |
| A32091 | Is this the way to grow and thrive in Grace and Piety? |
| A32091 | Is this the way to secure the Divine favour? |
| A32091 | Is this the way to show the Resentments I have of my Redeemers amazing Love? |
| A32091 | It may be you''ll plead the force of Temptation; but how can that excuse you, who do n''t watch, and pray, and strive against it? |
| A32091 | Let such Persons be tempted to Sin, and they have this soon occurs to them, How can I run into this and break my Vows to my God and Saviour? |
| A32091 | MAY not your frequent Breaches of your Sacramental Engagements, much blur the evidences of your sincerity? |
| A32091 | MIGHT not any, even the best of you, take much more care to live up to your Sacramental Vows than you do? |
| A32091 | May he not justly cause you to walk mournfully and heavily, who often walk so carelesly and remisly? |
| A32091 | May he not justly resent it in a very high manner, to have have his Kindness thus slighted? |
| A32091 | May he not justly resent it? |
| A32091 | May he not justly suffer the Devil to take the advantage against you which you give him by your Breaches of your Sacramental Vows? |
| A32091 | May not God justly expect otherguess Treatment at our hands? |
| A32091 | May not that which betrays the great Prevalence of Corruption in you, often make your Integrity dubious? |
| A32091 | May you not justly expect, that a Train of Temporal Judgments should follow you? |
| A32091 | Must he be always suffering from you, who once suffered for you? |
| A32091 | Must you not blame your selves, and justify him? |
| A32091 | My Saviour hath made himself and all his Benefits over to me, in an Everlasting Covenant; what could I then do less then return my self back to him? |
| A32091 | Now what Man is so happy as he that hath Peace with the Blessed God? |
| A32091 | O wretched Man that I am, who shall deliver me from this body of death? |
| A32091 | Oh who hath so dead, and cold, and dull, and listless, and slipery an heart as I, will he often say? |
| A32091 | On what account, I pray, was it, that the Apostle tells the Corinthians, That many were sick and weak among them, and many slept? |
| A32091 | Or if he is at present, that he shall always continue so? |
| A32091 | Or is it not rather the way to decline and go backward? |
| A32091 | Or is it not rather the way to incur Gods Displeasure? |
| A32091 | Or rather doth it not wofully add to, and enhance it? |
| A32091 | Shall I forget whose I am, and who I am to serve, and what are my Engagements, and to whom and how I am bound? |
| A32091 | Shall I go and undo what I have been doing, by a lazy Indifferency, a negligent and careless course of Life? |
| A32091 | Shall I not by this means dishonour God, lose my own Peace, and deaden others? |
| A32091 | So what a safeguard are frequently repeated Vows, seriously made, and strongly imprest, against most Temptations? |
| A32091 | Suppose a Man superstitiously abuses the Scripture,( which I am satisfied is no impossible thing) am I therefore obliged to lay it aside as useless? |
| A32091 | That Repeated Engagements to be the Lords, make your wilful breaches of them the less dangerous? |
| A32091 | That they are capable of being bound in Civils: Why not in Spirituals? |
| A32091 | The Living up to your Christian Vows? |
| A32091 | The foregoing Chapter will from most be apt to draw forth this further Enquiry; How may we come to live correspondently to our many solemn Tyes? |
| A32091 | Therefore may a Person say, Do I forbear coming to the Lord''s Table, because I am there to come under Vows, which I know before hand I sha n''t keep? |
| A32091 | Thus for instance, a Vow of Celibacy is unwarrantable, because there are few can safely bear it: and who can say he is in the Number of those few? |
| A32091 | To Man: Why not to God? |
| A32091 | To how flourishing a pitch of Grace might you have arriv''d? |
| A32091 | To what a confirm''d State might you by this time have been advanc''t? |
| A32091 | WHAT Treatment can you expect from Him, with whom you deal so perfidiously? |
| A32091 | WHAT are those things which divert you from that care and application, which a matter of so vast importance as this is, plainly requires? |
| A32091 | WHAT can you plead in your own Excuse? |
| A32091 | WHAT would you think of any that should go to deal with you, as you deal with the Blessed God? |
| A32091 | WHOEVER you are, if you are under Vows to God, spend a few thoughts by way of enquiry, Whether the before describ''d be not your case? |
| A32091 | WON''T your Experience teach you? |
| A32091 | Was it not because they came to the Lord''s Table, and did not discern the Lord''s Body? |
| A32091 | Was it not his Duty to own and honour God before he made that Vow? |
| A32091 | Was not this Reasonable, Just, and Fit? |
| A32091 | Was not what I did in Renewing my Vows the Effect of Consideration? |
| A32091 | What I pray hinders you? |
| A32091 | What Peace Delight and Pleasure might you have found in the ways of God? |
| A32091 | What ails thee then O my Soul? |
| A32091 | What can disturb those that thus Stay themselves on God; and are bent and determin''d to acquiesce in his Pleasure? |
| A32091 | What can engage thee to thy Duty, if not such Solemn Vows and Promises as thou hast often made? |
| A32091 | What can ever hold thee fast to thy God and Saviour, if not such bonds as thou ar ● … under? |
| A32091 | What can shake such persons hopes of Perseverance? |
| A32091 | What course must we take, that the sense of our Christian Vows may not wear off? |
| A32091 | What if he makes you smart by those very Corruptions, your indulging which, occasion''d your Renew''d Breaches? |
| A32091 | What signifies its Deliberateness, were it an hundred times as great as''t is, if thou art not to be prevail''d on to keep thy Vow? |
| A32091 | What signifies the Vow they then came under, tho''ever so Solemn? |
| A32091 | What would this be but to do that in Spirituals, which you would blame as unaccountable and amazing Folly in common and civil Affairs? |
| A32091 | What''s to be done in this great strait? |
| A32091 | What, I pray, hinders us from using that rightly, which they have abus''d? |
| A32091 | What, I say, can it avail to such Persons? |
| A32091 | Whence comes the Difference that is so discernible even among real Christians, who all are sincere? |
| A32091 | Whence comes this? |
| A32091 | Whence is it that in this case you are so undisturb''d? |
| A32091 | Whence is it that that little Good, that little Grace that is in you is so withering pining and languishing? |
| A32091 | Whether any Branch of it is liable to any just Exceptions? |
| A32091 | Whether it contains any thing impossible to a willing Mind? |
| A32091 | Whether there is not the highest Reason running thro''it? |
| A32091 | Whether they do n''t cordially give up themselves to God the Father, Son, and Spirit, according to the tenour of it? |
| A32091 | Whether those who refuse to come under it, or being under it, to obey it, are not Enemies to themselves, as well as to God? |
| A32091 | Who can express the Comfort which such Persons may derive from such Promises as these? |
| A32091 | Who can fore- see what Publick Calamaties a wait us, wherein all particular Persons must unavoidably be sharers? |
| A32091 | Who can pretend to steer exactly in such a strait? |
| A32091 | Who knows what Personal or Domestiek Troubles they may meet withe''er they Dye? |
| A32091 | Who would do any thing to rejoice his worst and bitterest Enemy, and put him in a capacity of doing him an inconceivable Mischief? |
| A32091 | Why art thou cast down O my Soul? |
| A32091 | Why art thou so stupid and sensless? |
| A32091 | Why come you there if this be not the Sense of your Souls? |
| A32091 | Why didst thou go to make new Vows, unless thou resolvedst to live answerably to them? |
| A32091 | Why didst thou not lay aside the Christian Name, if thou didst not seriously intend a Christian Life? |
| A32091 | Why dost thou now continue to heap Bonds upon Bonds, and Vows upon Vows, if thou art really unwilling of that to which thou Engagest thy self? |
| A32091 | Why so Base, Unworthy and False? |
| A32091 | Will you go on to add Bond upon Bond, and heap Vows upon Vows, and never in earnest begin to pay? |
| A32091 | Will you leave the same Gaps open by which Dulness and Formality formerly crept in upon you? |
| A32091 | Will you own your Parents power to engage you for a Trifle, and not in order to an Everlasting Crown? |
| A32091 | Without thinking what thou didst, what thou wer''t about, and what all these things meant? |
| A32091 | Would you care to have any more to do with them? |
| A32091 | and doth not he afterwards see how soon you grow cold, and dead, and dull again; returning to former Remissness? |
| A32091 | and how little you are influenc''d by renewed and repeated Vows? |
| A32091 | and might you not be much more diligent, and watchful, and circumspect, and provident, and serious, than you are? |
| A32091 | and shall not the Thought of his Inspection awe and affect you? |
| A32091 | and will you be careless and remiss even while he looks on? |
| A32091 | and will you never learn to keep close to God? |
| A32091 | whence is it that he frowns upon you, and withdraws his presence and his aids in any measure from you? |
| A32091 | who would care a rush for such a Contract, if he knew the engag''d Party would look no further? |
| A47535 | ''t is a positive Law, we must go to the Pleasure, and Will, and Design of the Law- maker: what may not Men infer after this sort? |
| A47535 | ( instead of saying, Who can forbid Water?) |
| A47535 | ( when they asked what they should do?) |
| A47535 | 17. and that he thanked God he baptized no more of them than Crispus and Gaius, and the Houshold of Stephanus? |
| A47535 | 2. or by preaching the Word of Christ? |
| A47535 | 28. or act and do contrary thereto, who requires all Disciples to be baptized? |
| A47535 | 32, 34. these two Verses being a Key to the 33d Verse,( saith he) and this Houshold a Key to all the other? |
| A47535 | And are not Males and Femals all o ● ● in Christ Jesus? |
| A47535 | And are there not many very learned Men who are against baptizing them? |
| A47535 | And do you not think that many of the Females of Abraham''s off- spring were in that Covenant of Grace? |
| A47535 | And doth not these things hinder that glorious Reformation we all long for, and encourage Papists? |
| A47535 | And that Baptism is absolutely necessary to Church- Communion, or an initiating Ordinance? |
| A47535 | And why should a Tradition of the Antichristian State, be so zealously defended? |
| A47535 | And, were they not to teach the same Doctrine, and administer the same Ordinances alike where- ever they come? |
| A47535 | Aquinas asserts, which is intailed upon all within the pale thereof? |
| A47535 | Are Infants capable thus to covenant with God? |
| A47535 | Are not Sureties in Baptism a meer human Invention? |
| A47535 | Are not Women as well as Men, comprehended and meant in those places as well as Men, tho not expressed? |
| A47535 | Are they not both expresly given forth and joined together by our Saviour in this his last and great Commission? |
| A47535 | As if he had said, if there be no Resurrection, Why are we baptized? |
| A47535 | Ay, this is good News indeed, they might say; But what will become of our Children, our Off- spring? |
| A47535 | BVT what harm is there in Baptizing of Children? |
| A47535 | Besides, are Bells forbidden to be baptized? |
| A47535 | Besides, doth not our Saviour plainly intimate, that John''s Baptism was directly from Heaven, and not of Men? |
| A47535 | Besides, were not the Pharisees and Lawyers learned Men, who rejected the Counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized? |
| A47535 | But all this while, who has required any thing of this at our Hands? |
| A47535 | But are they uncapable because there is no word of Institution, nothing from the Mouth of Christ or his Apostles, to justifie such a Practice? |
| A47535 | But do you not acknowledg Baptism to signify our being washed in the Blood of Christ? |
| A47535 | But does not Baptism come in the room of Circumcision, the one being a Figure of the other? |
| A47535 | But doth not Christ say, that the Doctrine he taught, he received from the Father who sent him? |
| A47535 | But had not John an express Commission to baptize? |
| A47535 | But how dare any presume to Rantize a Babe that is uncapable to be taught or made a Disciple by teaching? |
| A47535 | But how does it appear that Infants are Believers in any sense? |
| A47535 | But since the practice of Baptism in Water was lost in the Apostacy, how could it be restored again without a new Mission? |
| A47535 | But whereas you say, Baptism was always done by dipping the Body all over in Water, how can that be, since some were baptized in Houses? |
| A47535 | But why are they not? |
| A47535 | But why may ● ot Infants be baptized now as well as Children were circumcised heretofore? |
| A47535 | But why must the whole Body be dipp''d? |
| A47535 | But yet this Baptism however was by a pouring forth of the Spirit, and why may not Baptism be administred so? |
| A47535 | But you lay too much stress upon Baptism? |
| A47535 | But, Sirs, who- ever washes Hands, Cups, Pots, or Beds, by sprinkling a few Drops of VVater upon them? |
| A47535 | Ca n''t God save poor Infants without they also do believe? |
| A47535 | Ca n''t God save poor dying Infants, unless the same change by the Spirits Operations pass upon them? |
| A47535 | Can any Man forbid Water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? |
| A47535 | Can any Man forbid Water, that these should not be baptized? |
| A47535 | Can any believe God would command any such thing to be done, that should endanger the Life of a Child? |
| A47535 | Can they answer a good Conscience, by believing the Resurrection of Christ? |
| A47535 | Can they covenant with God? |
| A47535 | Come put it to your Consciences; Can you suppose any should be baptized by virtue of the words of Christ in the Commission, but Disciples only? |
| A47535 | Could the Apostle in plainer words have detected the Error of these Men, if he had met with them in his day? |
| A47535 | Did God forbid Abraham to circumcise his Female Children, or forbid him to circumcise his Male Children on the ninth day? |
| A47535 | Did Moses deal thus with the Children of Israel? |
| A47535 | Did any Man assert till now the Baptism of Christ to be a Legal Rite, or rather that it sprung from Human Tradition? |
| A47535 | Did the Apostle intend hereby, do you think, to press them all to die to Sin, and live to God? |
| A47535 | Did the whole Church of the Romans reckon themselves, think you, to be dead to Sin, and bound to live no longer therein? |
| A47535 | Do not secret things belong to him, what Vanity is there in the minds of some Men? |
| A47535 | Does not this Argument make void the Baptism of Infants, as well as Adult Unbelievers, by the Ancients? |
| A47535 | Doth he baptize? |
| A47535 | Doth it follow that we must Baptize so now? |
| A47535 | Doth not our Blessed Saviour''s Words immediately following fully answer this Objection, and, lo I am with you always to the end of the World? |
| A47535 | Doth not the Apostle shew that Men had Power to give the Spirit? |
| A47535 | Fifthly, Doth Baptism confer Grace or regenerate the Child? |
| A47535 | For was that Rubbish gone, what a glorious Harmony would follow, even such a Day as would make all our Souls rejoyce? |
| A47535 | Grant she had Children, how unlikely a matter is it, saith he, that she should carry them about with her, trading so many miles distant? |
| A47535 | Has God ordained Baptism to be an Ordinance to save the Souls of any Persons, either the Adult or Infants? |
| A47535 | Has not Christ Power to preserve, protect, and uphold all such Persons which he commands to be Baptized? |
| A47535 | Has the Holy Trinity given you any Authority so to do? |
| A47535 | Hath Christ any where required it? |
| A47535 | Hath Christ, I say, or his Apostles, as you read, forbid these things, and many more of like nature? |
| A47535 | Have they a justifying Faith, as Mr. Baxter intimates? |
| A47535 | Have you a Dispensation to make the Commandments of God void by your Traditions? |
| A47535 | How can Water, a material thing, work upon the Soul in a Physical manner? |
| A47535 | How can Water, an external thing, work upon the Soul in a physical manner? |
| A47535 | How dare you deny a Man admittance into the Church, who is truly Godly, and hath a lively Faith? |
| A47535 | How dares any Man, who fears God, attempt to do any thing contrary to the Holy Pattern left in Christ''s New Testament? |
| A47535 | How little is the Institution or Practice of the Primitive Christians minded amongst many good Men? |
| A47535 | How often must we tell you that Baptism wholly depends, as to Subject, Time, End, and manner of Administration, on the words of Institution? |
| A47535 | How palpable is it that Godly Men have wicked Children now adays as well as in former times? |
| A47535 | How then can you justify your selves in such a Practice? |
| A47535 | I am, saith Christ, to be baptized with Blood, overwhelmed with Sufferings and Afflictions; are you able so to be? |
| A47535 | I have heard some say, Is it my where forbid? |
| A47535 | I wonder what Faith''t is you suppose to be in Infants? |
| A47535 | If God should have sent a Saint from the Dead, to let us know what we should do, would we not give all diligent heed to him? |
| A47535 | If he hath a right to Christ, who is signified in the Lord''s Supper, may be be denied the Sign, because he is not baptized? |
| A47535 | If you ca n''t prove this, what signifies all you say? |
| A47535 | In the Name of the Glorious Trinity, can they say and prove it, Christ hath given them any such Authority? |
| A47535 | In the Rubrick, What is required of Persons that are to be baptized? |
| A47535 | Is it necessary you should alter any of his Holy Laws, and make void one of the great Sacraments of the New Testament by your Traditions? |
| A47535 | Is it not a false thing to say, Persons may believe and be saved by the Faith of others? |
| A47535 | Is it not a foolish thing and a Lye, to say, Children have Faith, and are Disciples, who are not capable of Understanding? |
| A47535 | Is it not a foolish thing to cry out against Traditions, and all Inventions of Men, and yet strive to uphold and maintain them? |
| A47535 | Is it not a weak thing, to open a Door into the Church, which Christ hath shut up? |
| A47535 | Is it not an evil and false thing to say, Persons may have Grace and Regeneration before they know God, or are called by his Word and holy Spirit? |
| A47535 | Is it not an evil and harmful thing, and a great error to say, Baptism takes away Original Sin? |
| A47535 | Is it not an hurtful and evil thing, to defile and p ● lute the Church, by bringing in the Fleshy Seed which Christ hath cast out? |
| A47535 | Is it not necessary for you to do what Christ hath commanded, and when at no time there is any danger of the Lives of Persons? |
| A47535 | Is it not strange that you should say, That none but the Children of Believers ought to be Baptized? |
| A47535 | Is not God a free Agent? |
| A47535 | Is not Truth and Righteousness to be joyned with Peace and Love? |
| A47535 | Is not Woman as well as Man intended there? |
| A47535 | Is not this a meer trifling Vanity, and nought but a piece of Foolery and Deceit, to darken Counsel with words without Knowledg? |
| A47535 | Is this good Divinity with Mr. Smythies? |
| A47535 | Is this the way to that longed- for Reformation? |
| A47535 | It was not too low for him, and is it too low for thee? |
| A47535 | May I not argue thus; If Teaching continues to the end of the World, Baptism continues? |
| A47535 | Moreover, what express word against Infants receiving the Sacraments? |
| A47535 | Must Christ forbid Infant- Baptism? |
| A47535 | Must he needs baptize them because he took them up in his Arms? |
| A47535 | Nay, can we think Christ would institute an Ordinance to destroy the Lives of any Persons? |
| A47535 | Nay, worse, a Tradition of Men? |
| A47535 | Now do you see that all the Children of Believers have the Grace of God bestowed upon them, so that they are new Creatures? |
| A47535 | Now the Question is, What we are to understand to be meant by the Baptism of the Holy Ghost? |
| A47535 | Now, are Children capable to do any of this? |
| A47535 | Or is it an Imputitive Faith from the Parents in Covenant, as Musculus and others maintain? |
| A47535 | Or, did God forbid Nadab and Abihu to offer strange Fire, who were destroyed for doing it? |
| A47535 | Or, did he tell them they should Baptize those in hot Countries that were Disciples, and Rantize such who received the Word in cold Countries? |
| A47535 | Or, is it the Faith of the Gossip or Surety, as many of your Church say, i. e. others believe for them? |
| A47535 | Or, is not that they call Baptism, in your Consciences a Nullity? |
| A47535 | Or, were they in it, and are they now fallen out of it? |
| A47535 | Ordinances or Sacraments of Christ? |
| A47535 | Ought you not to make God''s VVord your Rule? |
| A47535 | Secondly, But why do you say Children must be Believers, or else they ca n''t be saved? |
| A47535 | Secondly, We ask, whether God hath left it in the Power of the Parent to save or destroy the Soul of his Child, which your Doctrine doth import? |
| A47535 | Sir, I will appeal to you, is not this Inference as good and as justifiable as yours? |
| A47535 | Sirs, How dare you, In the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, say, I Baptize thee,& c. when you do but Rantize the Person? |
| A47535 | Sirs, wherefore do you judg it reasonable, and not necessary? |
| A47535 | Sometimes there has been some such like Action done I must confess: But does not the Prince actually consent so to be married? |
| A47535 | Speak, are they Baptized? |
| A47535 | The Minor is easily proved: Can any thing reflect more upon the Honour of Christ,& c. than this? |
| A47535 | Thirdly, We demand what hopes are intended, and by what Scriptures the same are annexed to the Administration of an Ordinance in Infancy? |
| A47535 | This savours of horrible Pride: Shall Man prescribe unto God ways how he shall be worshipped? |
| A47535 | To contemn this Order,( saith he) is to contemn all Rules of Order: for where can we expect to find it, if not here? |
| A47535 | To which I answer, where are such things as Crossings, Salt, Spittle, and Sureties,& c. forbid? |
| A47535 | VVere they not to go into cold Countries as well as Hot? |
| A47535 | Was not Lot a Godly Man, and in the same Covenant of Grace? |
| A47535 | Was not that Church set up to be a Patern, or perfect Copy, after which all succeeding Churches were to write? |
| A47535 | Well, what tho? |
| A47535 | Well, what though that be so? |
| A47535 | Were any ever baptized with the Holy Spirit in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost? |
| A47535 | Were not Women Disciples, and commanded to be made discipline by the preaching of the Gospel in the Commission, as well as Men? |
| A47535 | Were not Women Members of the Chur ● ● ▪ and does not the Holy Supper belong to all ● ● ● ● lar Members thereof? |
| A47535 | Were not Women as well as Men( who believed) Baptized? |
| A47535 | Were these little Children be ye sure the Children of Believers? |
| A47535 | What Confusion is here among the Pedo- Baptists? |
| A47535 | What Ordinance hath he ordained to signify the sprinkling of the Blood of Christ? |
| A47535 | What a Covenant then do you make that sure and everlasting Covenant of Grace to be? |
| A47535 | What abundance of Betrayers of the Truth and Church too have we in these days? |
| A47535 | What is this but to intail Grace to Nature, and Regeneration to Generation? |
| A47535 | What resemblance of the Burial and Resurrection of Christ is in Sprinkling? |
| A47535 | What was that? |
| A47535 | What will they answer him when he visiteth them? |
| A47535 | What will they say when God rises up? |
| A47535 | When shall we see the like proof for Babes Baptism? |
| A47535 | Who can justifie you in this Practice? |
| A47535 | Who can require Water, that these Persons should be Baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we? |
| A47535 | Who now can conclude rationally, that any Children were in any of these Housholds? |
| A47535 | Who tells them so? |
| A47535 | Why do you not believe the Apostle who tells you the quite contrary, and that he said not of Seeds as of many, but to thy Seed, which is Christ? |
| A47535 | Why may not that Text be a Proof that Bells in Churches should be baptized, and so made holy likewise? |
| A47535 | Why may they not deny Preaching to continue, as well as Baptizing, since Teaching is commanded by no other Authority than this? |
| A47535 | Yet are not you contented to lie short in doing this according to the Sentiments of your Minds and Understandings? |
| A47535 | You may as well ask, why Nadab and Abihu might not have offered strange Fire, or why might not the Priest? |
| A47535 | You will object, May be that Bells are not ● it nor capable Subjects of such an Ordinance? |
| A47535 | and because he blessed them, must he receive them into his Church? |
| A47535 | and have not our Brethren cast it away as such? |
| A47535 | and might he therefore do these things — because God did no where tell him he should not do so? |
| A47535 | and to make the Church National, which ought to be Congregational? |
| A47535 | and where is the Spirit of Reformation? |
| A47535 | and yet they were not, from that Ground, to be circumcised, nor were they at all circumcised, because God did not command them so to be? |
| A47535 | as if John should say, that is a sign he is sent of God: and do all Men come to him? |
| A47535 | believing Men and Women; is it not necessary for you to do Christ''s Work, as Christ has required? |
| A47535 | can it do the Child any hurt? |
| A47535 | can we think that others ever attained to the like, much less to greater Light and Knowledg than they? |
| A47535 | do they rather go to him to be baptized than come to me? |
| A47535 | doth he say they ought, or that it belongs to them? |
| A47535 | has God told you he can not, or will not save them except they believe? |
| A47535 | hath Christ said indeed, ye shall not baptize Bells? |
| A47535 | in token of such a Communion with the Power of his Death, as to kill Sin, and crucifie the old Man, so that henceforth we should not serve Sin? |
| A47535 | is it not an innocent thing? |
| A47535 | is it therefore lawful to baptize them? |
| A47535 | is that requisite, or would it make the Estate the more firm or sure to him? |
| A47535 | is the Opus operatum of Baptism, think you, a likely way or means to beget or bring forth Children to Christ, or make Disciples of them? |
| A47535 | is there any Argument or Scripture brought by this Man to prove them so to be? |
| A47535 | may he not do what he pleases, and magnifie his Grace to poor dying Infants, through the Blood of his Son, in other ways than we know of? |
| A47535 | may not the Head be sufficient, that being the principal Part? |
| A47535 | might there not be a Pond, or some River near? |
| A47535 | must he declare in plain words they ought not to be baptized, or else may they, ought they to be baptized? |
| A47535 | nay, a prophanation of the Sacrament of Baptism? |
| A47535 | or a dogmatical Faith only, as in Mr. Blake''s Sense? |
| A47535 | or can Baptism appear to be a Symbol of it to them? |
| A47535 | or those extraordinary Gifts or miraculous Effusions of the Holy Ghost only, which many received in the Primitive Times? |
| A47535 | such and such good Men and able Ministers did say this was a Truth and my Duty? |
| A47535 | that ye shall not go on Pilgrimages, nor pray for the Dead? |
| A47535 | therefore we are buried with him in Baptism into Death,& c. Else what shall they do that are baptized for the Dead, if the Dead rise not at all? |
| A47535 | to assert a thing that no Man has any ground to believe, nor ca n''t, without offering violence to his Reason? |
| A47535 | together with Melchisedec and others I might mention? |
| A47535 | what else is the meaning of these words, he therefore that ministreth to you the Spirit? |
| A47535 | wherein are they uncapable? |
| A47535 | whether the sanctifying Gifts and Graces of the Spirit are intended hereby, which all the Godly receive? |
| A47535 | which being so ▪ how uncertain is your Inference? |
| A47535 | who made you one of his Privy- Council? |
| A47535 | who say''t is an Invention of Men and no Ordinance of Jesus Christ? |
| A47535 | who told you so? |
| A47535 | — How can outward Water, saith Mr. Charnock, convey inward- Life? |
| A47535 | ● ut why will not our Brethren keep to the great Insti ● ution, and exact Rule of the Primitive Church? |
| A10833 | ( as notwithstanding sin, he doth some feeble remainders thereof) and therewith right to eternall life? |
| A10833 | 1,& 4, speaks of the seal of the spirit, means he, that the Spirit makes a materiall print in the soule, as a seal doth in Wax? |
| A10833 | 10, then what needed hee after to haue been circumcised? |
| A10833 | 11,) goe to, and teach all Nations? |
| A10833 | 18? |
| A10833 | 23. who upon Christs words to Peter touching ▪ Iohn, If I will that he tarry till ▪ I come, what is that to thee? |
| A10833 | 3, the Covenant is mentioned, I am the God thy father Abraham& c. But is every mentioning of a Covenant, the making of it? |
| A10833 | 6, All flesh shall see the salvation of our God: But I demand, of what sight of Christ Iohn here speaketh? |
| A10833 | 8, If we,& c. Was it possible that Paul should preach any other Gospell? |
| A10833 | And I would know of these deep Divines, what but sin could possibly make Adams posterity unable to keep the Law? |
| A10833 | And are not the Sacraments outward helps of comfort and confirmation of a beleevers heart in the same loue of God, and hope of glory? |
| A10833 | And are remembrances of a false Christ means of salvation? |
| A10833 | And are there not many in all Churches, who, without a miracle, can not possibly attain to any competent ability to teach publiquely in the Church? |
| A10833 | And can the flock be fed as it ought without preaching, and where the bread of life is not broken unto it? |
| A10833 | And considering, that the death, and destruction of the wicked is Gods own just and holy work, for their sins, who will deny that God delights in it? |
| A10833 | And did God make a Covenant with, and become the God of Abraham, Isaak, and Iakob, at that time? |
| A10833 | And how a father? |
| A10833 | And how doe these see the salvation of God in Christ? |
| A10833 | And how then belongs it not to Pastours, to whom these things belong, to convert? |
| A10833 | And indeed what exposition can be given, or evasion found, considering the expressenes of the words? |
| A10833 | And is election, and the promise of election a work of our loue to God, or of Gods to us? |
| A10833 | And lastly, how contemptuous of their gifts and graces, how eminent soever? |
| A10833 | And see we not here what new Patrons dumb ministers haue gotten; of whom the old almost every where are ashamed? |
| A10833 | And shall not all the elect be so kept for ever in heaven? |
| A10833 | And to what end, or with what order should hee thrust in an impertinent discourse of any other faith? |
| A10833 | And was there not that required at Abrahams hands for his circumcision, which was not required at Isaaks for his? |
| A10833 | And were not the Infants part of Israel, thus set apart, and sanctified? |
| A10833 | And what are all these things with them? |
| A10833 | And what is his heart but the faculties of his understanding, will and affections, which sin possesseth and corrupteth? |
| A10833 | And what is the reason why the one receivs it, and not the other? |
| A10833 | And what then? |
| A10833 | And where now resteth his wickednesse, but in his heart? |
| A10833 | And whereas it might be objected against the certainty of this promise and event: What? |
| A10833 | And will these male- parts then sue him at the law, if he have held that course of justice towards some, which was due to all? |
| A10833 | Are any Christs but Christians? |
| A10833 | Are exhortations and convictions by sound doctrine no preachings with these men? |
| A10833 | Are not all Gods judgements good and righteous? |
| A10833 | Are not they that beleev, and repent Christians with them? |
| A10833 | Are the Infants of beleevers to be cast out for their persequutions? |
| A10833 | Are they certain they are ignorant of, and erre in nothing in the Scriptures, written for their bearning? |
| A10833 | BVT who hath sayd, that God wils sin, though not for sin? |
| A10833 | Besides, if the Apostle had argued as they would haue him, where had he laid the foundation of his proofe? |
| A10833 | But I would know by what gift of the Spirit any becoms a Baptizer, or able to baptize? |
| A10833 | But I would know, what comfort it could be to their perplexed hearts, to think, that God suffered them to doe wickedly, that is, hindred them not? |
| A10833 | But first, why put they preaching, and not prophesying, as the Text, and all translations haue it? |
| A10833 | But how could this be, might one say, seeing Levi had then no life and being? |
| A10833 | But how proue they, that by Christs redemption they liue, moue,& c? |
| A10833 | But how proues this, that they were made either Churches or Christians by Baptism? |
| A10833 | But let them stretch the words to their own size, what follows hereupon? |
| A10833 | But may they therfore baptize them? |
| A10833 | But now what did those Heathens in this case? |
| A10833 | But now what say our Adversaries to these things? |
| A10833 | But the Evangelist in the same place teacheth them that will learn, not to interprete conditionall speeches, as absolute? |
| A10833 | But what now follows of all this for conclusion? |
| A10833 | But what then? |
| A10833 | But where haue I so spoken? |
| A10833 | But wherein, I wonder, did Pharaoh so? |
| A10833 | But why might, and may; and not ought, and must? |
| A10833 | But why rather holy, then Innocent, which they will haue all Infants to be? |
| A10833 | But yee What? |
| A10833 | By this, they should neither be saved, nor damned: for what else is it to receiv judgment of salvation, but to be saved? |
| A10833 | Can any man blesse God meerly for suffering the divell to hurt him? |
| A10833 | Can any man having grace, yea common sense, take comfort in this, that God leavs him to himselfe to doe wickedly, and hinders him not? |
| A10833 | Can that which is quite put away be still continued? |
| A10833 | Can there be use of justice for punishing, or of mercy for foregiuenesse of sin, but where sin is? |
| A10833 | Can they which are accustomed to doe evill ▪ doe well? |
| A10833 | Could David forgiue the sin of his heart? |
| A10833 | DOth mans being made of dust make him unable to resist the Tempter? |
| A10833 | Denying him at all to haue any hand in working, where they( blinde molles) can not discern how he works? |
| A10833 | Do they set themselves, as is meet, to a plain and direct answer? |
| A10833 | Doe beasts die in Adam, as his posterity doth? |
| A10833 | Doth death come over bruit beasts, because they haue sinned in Adam? |
| A10833 | Doth he in that place deal against the Infants of the Galatians, or against the men of yeares, though children in knowledg? |
| A10833 | Doth the Iudge onely suffer the punishment of the malefactors, and not inflict or procure it? |
| A10833 | Doth the child beget it selfe? |
| A10833 | Else how could all duties towards God and our neighbour be commanded in the decalogue, called the ten commandements? |
| A10833 | FIrst, if it be proper to God to justifie a sinner, how is it common to David with him? |
| A10833 | First I would know how they prove that Christ speaks of other then legall repentance, such as Ahab manifested in sack- cloth? |
| A10833 | First, they answer, that women may neither teach nor baptize in the Church: True: But why not, as they doe? |
| A10833 | Fithly, in saying, they were not all of us, he insinuates that some of them were; What? |
| A10833 | For what makes them that are alike, when the Gospel comes alike unto them, not to remain alike stil? |
| A10833 | For who knows not, that Gods calling us, goes before our answering him by faith, and obedience, as the cause therof? |
| A10833 | For, Who can understand his errours? |
| A10833 | Friend, how comest thou hither, not having on a wedding garment? |
| A10833 | Hath God entred Covenant with unbeleevers to be their God, as he hath done with all to whom Circumcision appertained? |
| A10833 | Hath not God so kept the elect Angels without all change from their primitiue purity? |
| A10833 | Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another to dishonor? |
| A10833 | Hath the faith of a person fellowship with the Saints? |
| A10833 | Haue his children that which he for substance had not; even in that wherein he was their father? |
| A10833 | How injurious in relating their own mis- formed collections, for their opinions? |
| A10833 | How many 1000 thousands are there at this day, which never so much as heard of Christ, at least, as God and man; and Redeemer of mankind by his death? |
| A10833 | How necessarily and inavoydably, from his choyce of will which was free in it self either to that act, or to another of that kinde, or to neither? |
| A10833 | How preposterous are these mens waies, who will haue the seal so long before the Covenant? |
| A10833 | How sought he justification by the works of the Law? |
| A10833 | How then could his hand and counseli determine before whatsoever was done? |
| A10833 | How then could that particular event follow unchangeably from his changeable will? |
| A10833 | I suppose it was never seen, that salt wanted saltnesse: and if it doe, how is it salt? |
| A10833 | I would know of them how the drinking of poyson by any is unavoydable? |
| A10833 | I would now know whether it could so come to passe, that these Apostles should not, and that willingly, preach this Gospell, and the truths thereof? |
| A10833 | If all the body were one member, where were the body, or Church, saith the Apostle? |
| A10833 | If any demand, Was not Christ promised to the Gentiles also? |
| A10833 | If it be asked, to what end then serves the fearfull denunciation used? |
| A10833 | If not, as is plain, how were their Baptism a Sacrament in the lawfull use? |
| A10833 | If their persons be dead, how remain they? |
| A10833 | If they were chosen out of the world, which lyeth in wickednesse, and hates the good; for what good qualities, trow we, were they chosen? |
| A10833 | If yea, why not then sin, and the guilt thereof, by proportion, having sinned? |
| A10833 | Is Gods raysing up( which is his hardening, v. 8,) nothing but his letting a man lie still, and fall down lower then he was before? |
| A10833 | Is it his freewill to receiv it, to whom it is preached? |
| A10833 | Is it not of meer mercie that he calls any to life? |
| A10833 | Is it not sinne not to doe that wee should doe; and to doe nothing when we should doe something? |
| A10833 | Is not our Lords Supper the same in effect with their Passeover? |
| A10833 | Is not the destroying and corrupting of mens faith and obedience, the plucking them out of the hand of God? |
| A10833 | Is not the justice of God infinite, and so requiring infinite satisfaction? |
| A10833 | Is not the lump and the first fruits one? |
| A10833 | Is not to labour in the word and doctrine here spoken of, for him to preach, and that as an Elder; as the former rule, as Elders? |
| A10833 | Is repentance so with these men? |
| A10833 | Is to deliver by determinate counsell, to suffer onely? |
| A10833 | Is to do to suffer with these men? |
| A10833 | It is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him onely shalt thou serue? |
| A10833 | Lastly, how wyde, and wilde are they in expounding the allegory of Abrahams two sons? |
| A10833 | Lastly, their exposition of these words, Why hast thou made me thus? |
| A10833 | Let them shew a way, how they can now come to Christ, saue by Baptism? |
| A10833 | Likewise, when a man or beast halts in going, shall we imagine that the halting is the very motion of going, or the fault of the motion onely? |
| A10833 | Many are called, but few chosen, that many qualities are called, and few chosen? |
| A10833 | Nay, but O man, who art thou that disputest with God? |
| A10833 | Now doe they conceaue, that such as were no true Christians before, are in part made Christians by the Lords Supper, and laying on of hands? |
| A10833 | Now what is it for the Gentiles, to haue had the Law written in their hearts, in or by nature, as the Apostle speaks? |
| A10833 | Now will these gainsaying spirits have men blessed by the law whether God will, or no? |
| A10833 | O the depth of the riches both of the wisedom and knowledge of God? |
| A10833 | Of what sin of his mother was David guilty? |
| A10833 | One man, or woman either, may upon just ground, separate from a whole Church: may he, or she therfore excommunicate a whole Church? |
| A10833 | Or are not these things plainly spoken of the person of men? |
| A10833 | Or did Hymeneus his faith sometimes hold faith and a good conscience, and after put them away? |
| A10833 | Or did it not onely, declare and confirm that state of grace, in and unto which God had called them? |
| A10833 | Or doth not the parent onely beget it? |
| A10833 | Or hath I. M. excommunicated the whole Church of England? |
| A10833 | Or how can any more directly crosse the Apostle, then they doe? |
| A10833 | Or how can qualities be either called, or chosen to grace or glory? |
| A10833 | Or how doth God send the spirit, thus understood, to work regeneration in men? |
| A10833 | Or how doth this example of Esau fit their imagined plain exposition? |
| A10833 | Or how had he removed the scruple out of the Corinthians hearts? |
| A10833 | Or how they can haue right in his blessing, and yet haue no right in his bloud- shed, and in Baptism, for the signifying and applying it? |
| A10833 | Or if it can be interrupted and broken off, how is it everlasting and eternall? |
| A10833 | Or if the fathers put him quite away, how can the children haue, or make any remembrance, or acknowledgment of him, having no new offer of him? |
| A10833 | Or might Iohn, without a special calling, haue instituted and brought into the Church, as he did, a new ordinance? |
| A10833 | Or not more of such Heathenish men of yeares as became Proselytes, then of their Infants, to be circumcised with them? |
| A10833 | Or not rather of some, both of singular abilities, and speciall calling? |
| A10833 | Or not this onely, that it helps to confirm, and comfort a Christian inwardly in the loue of God, and hope of salvation? |
| A10833 | Or to what purpose should he mention the sign of Circumcision, as a seal of faith, if not of that faith, of which he treats? |
| A10833 | Or were he an Angell from heaven, or of God that should so doe? |
| A10833 | Or what barre would these men haue put against the power of God, if his will had been so to haue preserved and kept Adam? |
| A10833 | Or what, and which were the Churches which they so made, and gathered? |
| A10833 | Or will these men never leav their godlesse custom of corrupting the words of the text, for advantaging of an evill cause? |
| A10833 | Or will they( vain men) conjure him herein within the narrow circle of their understanding? |
| A10833 | Otherwise, How doe they baptize them? |
| A10833 | Out of what, I marvail, and for what persequutions? |
| A10833 | Paul and Apollos, and Cephas are the Churches, and is not their baptism theirs? |
| A10833 | Saith not the scripture, that by the law all are accursed? |
| A10833 | Secondly, I demand, what it was, in which Iakob typed out beleevers, seeking righteousnesse by God? |
| A10833 | Secondly, for sinne, who was ever so wicked as to imagine that God takes pleasure in it? |
| A10833 | Secondly, the Pastor as Pastor of the flock, and feeding it, may convert a stranger comming in: and why then not baptize him by their own ground? |
| A10833 | Shall Infants( which they affirm else- where) be glorified in the Kingdom of heaven, and yet are they not of it? |
| A10833 | Shall they return though they repent not, nor seek the Lord, but remain rebellious, as they haue been, and their fore- fathers before them? |
| A10833 | Should we now say, that to take her by the hand, and lift her up, were nothing but to touch her hand? |
| A10833 | Signes and Seals are not to be set to blankes, neither doe they make things that were not before, to be? |
| A10833 | THeir next question is, How consider you these words: Who hath resisted his will? |
| A10833 | Tell me, you poore seduced soules, doth not the Lord here threaten a judgement from him to come upon David for his sin? |
| A10833 | The Lord would haue all the wicked cut off from his people: and would he haue unbeleevers received unto them? |
| A10833 | The question is not whether if any should not abide in the bounty of God, they were to be cut off or no? |
| A10833 | The words v. 19, Thou wilt then say unto me, why doth he yet finde fault, for who hath resisted his will? |
| A10833 | They frame the question; whether any but Pastors or Elders may baptize? |
| A10833 | They take that for granted, in which the maine question lyeth; and laying such foundations, what can their building bee? |
| A10833 | They themselues confesse, that the devils are unchangeable in evill; And why then might not both Angels and men be unchangeable in good? |
| A10833 | Thirdly, Is it to be conceived, that the Apostle would complain( as heere he doth) that lying spirits did not continue with the Churches? |
| A10833 | Very well said; God justly punisheth the Iewes by the Assirians; and how doth he that his just work? |
| A10833 | Was every beleever to covet spirituall gifts, to wit, all both extraordinary and ordinary there mentioned? |
| A10833 | Was it not an holy Ordinance of God? |
| A10833 | Was it the seal of the righteousnesse of faith; and yet due to the faithlesse? |
| A10833 | Was not the Lord Iesus in his Manhood so kept upon earth? |
| A10833 | Was righteousnesse ever, or is it imputed to any for justification, but by faith in Christ, then promised, now exhibited? |
| A10833 | Were any made before the first? |
| A10833 | Were they such as had once truely beleeved, but had after made defection? |
| A10833 | What can be more plain against these men? |
| A10833 | What course then are we to hold with them? |
| A10833 | What is it, if this be not, for the unlearned and unstable to pervert the Scriptures to their own destruction? |
| A10833 | What is the meaning of the hardening of Pharaoh? |
| A10833 | What quality but of sin, and misery, sees the Lord in them whom he calleth? |
| A10833 | What should I say more? |
| A10833 | What words could the Holy Ghost make choise of more liuelily to expresse Gods effectuall work, according to his eternall purpose? |
| A10833 | When the candle is put out, and it becomes dark; shall we think that any reall thing comes into the house, and causes the darknes? |
| A10833 | Where hath God ever so spoken, or any other man before them? |
| A10833 | Which of us ever so held or practized? |
| A10833 | Who having common sense, will say, that Christ and his righteousnesse; and the chusing of a man, or his election, are all one? |
| A10833 | Who so professedly despised the God therof, saying, Who is the Lord that I should obey his voyce? |
| A10833 | Who then were these exemplary Iews, formerly cut off by the Lord from the oliue tree? |
| A10833 | Why might he not as well haue used some ordinary disciple neer at hand? |
| A10833 | Why not then thus? |
| A10833 | Will these men affoord God no more, or other work? |
| A10833 | Will these men compare their conceited gift of converting, with Iohns divine, and extraordinary charter and endowments? |
| A10833 | Will they deny any inward work of Gods spirit at all, above the words work, though in, and by it? |
| A10833 | Will they make the grace of the Gospell a debt from God to men, or a matter of meer grace, and mercie? |
| A10833 | Would it haue been any diminution of his perfection, and happinesse if he had not so done? |
| A10833 | Yea I would know, which of Iohns disciples ever offered to baptize? |
| A10833 | and but just if he leave all to themselves, and their own affected ignorances and lusts? |
| A10833 | and in which Esau typed out workers, seeking justification by their own works? |
| A10833 | and is the doing of the contrary to doe no evill? |
| A10833 | and that as many, as are of the works of the law are accursed; as being unable to keep it? |
| A10833 | how unsearchable are his judgements, and his waies past finding out? |
| A10833 | or do I not onely keep the light and Sun- shine from it? |
| A10833 | or how gather they that to haue been my meaning? |
| A10833 | or when I make a shadow by standing in the light, or Sun- shine; do I put any reall thing in the place where the shadow is? |
| A10833 | shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, why hast thou made me thus? |
| A10833 | some lying spirits of the Spirit of truth? |
| A10833 | which is, not in the Church; but out of it, and in a corner, where, it may be, none is present but the baptizer and baptized? |
| A10833 | yea, are they not directly for the conversion of gainsayers? |
| A58206 | * Corpus Christi naturale fuit verè sepultum; an putandum est nostra corpora eodom modo sepeliri in administratine baptismi? |
| A58206 | 1,& c. what, would you have your disciples baptized with the sprie of two neighboring seas, and a cloud of fresh water raining on their heads? |
| A58206 | 1. quis enim potest dare quod ipse n ● n habeat? |
| A58206 | 10. who( of any sense) doth not understand that of those that can, and will not? |
| A58206 | 14. pronounceth in the present) by a designation to the service of Jesus Christ, and the future participation of the promises? |
| A58206 | 21. of what? |
| A58206 | 3 20, 21. what, must the type and truth agree in all things? |
| A58206 | 36: see here is water, what doth let me to be baptized? |
| A58206 | 4 When the Apostle saith the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife; if any ask, what wife? |
| A58206 | 5 If the matter must be put upon express words of Scripture, let our Antagonists shew us where they are expresly forbidden to baptize Infants? |
| A58206 | A gallant flourish indeed: but seriously; Did Christ take them up in his arms, and bless them; and are they not blessed? |
| A58206 | Again, Baptism is administred with the words of institution by Christ appointed; take away the Word, and what is the Water but ordinary water? |
| A58206 | And I pray how could the Priest under the Law know the minds of children to be circum ● ● sed? |
| A58206 | And again, who is eaten with the zeal of Gods house? |
| A58206 | And if a quality, of what kind it is? |
| A58206 | And what solidity is there on these conjectures, to conclude that Hieroms parents, though Christian, defer''d his baptism until he was 30 years old? |
| A58206 | And where is then their answer of a good conscience toward God? |
| A58206 | And who is so ready to cast this odious Livery upon others, as the most Antichristian? |
| A58206 | And why can not God as well do his mercies to infants now immediatly, as he did before the institution either of circumcision or baptism? |
| A58206 | And why is it more proportionable to an act of reason and humanity to defer childrens baptism, then in due time to baptize them? |
| A58206 | But let us hear the rest of Tertullians advice; was it only concerning the deferring infants baptism? |
| A58206 | But to what purpose do you propose any of these examples to your clients imitation? |
| A58206 | But what follows? |
| A58206 | But what if they never marry, must they never be baptized? |
| A58206 | But what is crucifying again? |
| A58206 | But what other battalio''s come next up? |
| A58206 | But you demand, if it implies a duty on our part; how then can children receive it, who can not do duty at all? |
| A58206 | But you say, Circumcision left a Character in the flesh, which being imprinted upon Infants, did it work upon them when they came to age?] |
| A58206 | But you say, — The infant is not capable of believing, and if he were, he were also capable of dissenting; and how then do they know his mind?] |
| A58206 | By demanding, quanta est major Propositio? |
| A58206 | Can any be saved without such grace? |
| A58206 | Can there be a sound conclusion from rotten premises? |
| A58206 | Can you be assured that none of these who are baptized in infancy, and no otherwise, are regenerate and saved? |
| A58206 | Could they if sent into Painim- Countreys with all the terms of your supposition, have been more disposed to an actual belief without a new Master? |
| A58206 | Did their Baptizers profane Baptism? |
| A58206 | Do any creatures under the degrees of man, bear the image of their Creator, in immortality, sanctity and light of understanding? |
| A58206 | Do they say so when they speak of infant- baptism? |
| A58206 | Do we then complain against God, when we complain of the Anabaptists abridging children of that which God hath allowed them? |
| A58206 | Do you account obedience to God and his holy ordinances, to be a tempting of God? |
| A58206 | Do you also call the truth thereof in question? |
| A58206 | Do you mean by the Holy Ghost, the gifts and graces of Gods holy Spirit regenerating the elect to the Kingdome of Heaven? |
| A58206 | Do you think there is no danger from infants original guilt which maks them stand in need of the laver of regeneration for the remission of their sin? |
| A58206 | Doth God save any Infants? |
| A58206 | Doth it follow therefore a man may make confession of Christ with his mouth to salvation, before he believeth in him in his heart? |
| A58206 | Doth not Gods blessing give both end and means that we may be so? |
| A58206 | Doth the Scripture, 21 ● saying all flesh dyed — every man — meane onely all of reason and age? |
| A58206 | God created him- male and female created be them: both one flesh, and so but one — and wherefore one? |
| A58206 | God hath appointed baptism to be a seal and token of our receiving and entrance into the Church; is it to no purpose to obey him in his Ordinances? |
| A58206 | How can any meer man know whom to baptize, though of years, and whom to put by? |
| A58206 | How doth that appear? |
| A58206 | How invalid is the Moderators Agument, à non scripto, ad nonfactum? |
| A58206 | How know you that John B. or the Apostles never baptized any Infants? |
| A58206 | How many impertinences are here twisted up together? |
| A58206 | How many ridiculous consequences would you thence inferre? |
| A58206 | How much more rationally may he make covenant with infants, though yet without the actuall use of reason? |
| A58206 | How often hath Satan in tempting to sin, misled the incaucious with this suggestion, there can be no danger in it,''t is the surer way? |
| A58206 | How poor a spirited mother art thou, and of how little faith? |
| A58206 | How then shal we be renewed after our falling into sin? |
| A58206 | How vain and ma ● tious is this calumny of yours? |
| A58206 | I appeal to your own conscience, may we as well conclude against Gods word, as for it? |
| A58206 | I demand then, Do infants believe? |
| A58206 | I demand, Doth God perform every one of his promises? |
| A58206 | I demand, quojure, by what right is the Kingdom of Heaven theirs? |
| A58206 | I wonder what they will be ashamed to say, who blush not at such assertions? |
| A58206 | I would gladly be resolved, quanta est illa propositio? |
| A58206 | If any ask, why it comes out so late to publike view? |
| A58206 | If giving the Seal to those who can not be profited thereby, be profanation of the same, how often do you prophane the holy Seal? |
| A58206 | If it be a ceremony only, how doth it sanctifie us, or make the comers thereunto perfect? |
| A58206 | If it be a duty on our part to administer it ● how can children receive it, who can not do any duty at all? |
| A58206 | If it be necessary to baptism that the baptizer know the mind of the person to be baptized, how can you baptize men of years? |
| A58206 | If it implys a duty on our part, how then can children receive it, who can not do duty at all?] |
| A58206 | If not, how maliciously is this objected against us, baptizing Infants of Believers, Christ himself expresly avowing them as subjects of his Kingdom? |
| A58206 | If not, why inferre you them? |
| A58206 | If this argument were good, how many men and women of age, must by the same reason be denyed baptism? |
| A58206 | If you do not, why do you urge against us an authority which your self consenteth not unto? |
| A58206 | If you mean the second, that is, that we less know the truth then the evidence; what blame you in our cause, or advantage your Clients? |
| A58206 | If you say we see no evidence, nor can the blind see the Sun; what can you gain hereby? |
| A58206 | If you will have none baptized before the works of the Spirit, before the operations of grace,& c. when and whom may you baptize? |
| A58206 | If( you say) by the external work alone, how doth this differ from the opus operatum of Papists, save that it is worse? |
| A58206 | In which it seemeth to us a very weak querie, And why can not God as well do his mercies to Infants now immediately? |
| A58206 | Is not the Scripture evident? |
| A58206 | Must this be by vertue of baptism by water onely, or the externall ministration thereof? |
| A58206 | Nay but tell me, if you can, by all your reason, how could infants receive baptism except we did administer it? |
| A58206 | No man rationally asketh, What need we two eyes who can see with one? |
| A58206 | Onely this( you say) that God hath as great a care of Infants, as of others,& c.] Here is another argument as fe ● ble as the fore- going: What? |
| A58206 | Or spake Christ onely concerning the carnall seed of Abraham, and not of the spirituall when he said, Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven? |
| A58206 | Popery and Pelagianism twisted together? |
| A58206 | Possibly Joash would here have replied to such a short Scheme of plea, — will ye plead for Baal? |
| A58206 | Qui rebaptizatur, jam Christianus fuerat: quomodo dici potest iterum Christianus& c? |
| A58206 | Restore such a one — but how? |
| A58206 | Scire autem? |
| A58206 | Scripture beyond the Apostles scope and purpose, rather to that which seems to favour your fancy and practise of immersion, then to another sense? |
| A58206 | Shall not they therefore that have the use of reason be baptized? |
| A58206 | Since faith is necessary to the susception of baptism,& c.] True in adult is; what is this to our present question concerning infants? |
| A58206 | So when the Prophet would recall the Jews from Polygamie to pure wedlock, he said, did not he( that is God the Creator) make one? |
| A58206 | So, v. 1. the maimed or Eunuch shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord& c. what? |
| A58206 | Speak you this as a matter doubtfull? |
| A58206 | That is the act of understanding, faith and repentance? |
| A58206 | That would be a rare invention indeed: but if to call Anabaptists Anabaptists, be just, why find you fault with it? |
| A58206 | The old Academicks were wo nt to question the testimonie and evidence of their own senses with a quid si falleris? |
| A58206 | This weakly follows from unsound premises; was there no word added to Circumcision? |
| A58206 | This you will put upon necessary consequence, where you have no express word: And why shall we not have the like liberty for Infant- Baptism? |
| A58206 | This( say you) is the greatest vanity in the world] What vanity? |
| A58206 | To the Parents or to the children? |
| A58206 | To what children was that promise made? |
| A58206 | Was not the reason of the Covenant declared to Abraham? |
| A58206 | Was that faith which the Apostle commended onely there, or then when Hierom wrote in all the Western Church? |
| A58206 | Was there not a word of Institution? |
| A58206 | We know the word( children) importeth not alwayes infants; what then? |
| A58206 | Were it good Georgicks to say, Trouble not your self to fodder your cattle, or loose them from their stall that they may drink? |
| A58206 | What Word? |
| A58206 | What are these real services, and whose? |
| A58206 | What are we nearer heaven if we are baptized?] |
| A58206 | What did vidual continency, or conjugal fidelity concern infants, as such? |
| A58206 | What do you herein say which might not as well have been objected against the circumcision of infants? |
| A58206 | What must they be interessed onely when they come to that act of which by nature they have the faculty? |
| A58206 | What need all this stirre? |
| A58206 | What promise? |
| A58206 | What the Citie of Rome? |
| A58206 | What then? |
| A58206 | What think you of the validity of that Argument which is from Gods power to his will? |
| A58206 | What think you then of our Christian Sabbath? |
| A58206 | What was it which he called Peters Chair? |
| A58206 | What yoke? |
| A58206 | What, by descent from naturall parents? |
| A58206 | What; because''t is not written? |
| A58206 | What? |
| A58206 | What? |
| A58206 | Whence have you either such knowledg or commission so to judg? |
| A58206 | Where can you shew us in terminis, Thou Thomas, John, Andrew,& c. shalt be baptized and saved? |
| A58206 | Whether a quality, action, or passion? |
| A58206 | Whether it be a figure or form? |
| A58206 | Whether it be an ens rationis, or a relatio realis? |
| A58206 | Whether the Sacraments of the old Testament made the like impress? |
| A58206 | Whether the subject thereof be the soul, or some active or passive faculty thereof? |
| A58206 | Who affirms that which you suppose? |
| A58206 | Why I write after so many, so much more able to defend the truth, might possibly put me to the Oratours quaere ● y What is left for me to do? |
| A58206 | Why did you not rather say that this device was P. Lombards( who mentioneth the Imputative faith you speak of) or some of the following Schoolmen? |
| A58206 | Why do ye deny them baptism? |
| A58206 | Why might you not say the same also concerning circumcision? |
| A58206 | Why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the DISCIPLES? |
| A58206 | Why trouble you your self with our stir to do that which Christ commandeth us? |
| A58206 | Would you have our fall in Adam, and repair in Christ run literally parallell, even to circumstances? |
| A58206 | You say more, To whom is the commandement given? |
| A58206 | and how can you who baptize discern this? |
| A58206 | and why not now? |
| A58206 | and why not so in believing and repenting, seeing that God requireth impossibilities neither in things temporal nor spiritual? |
| A58206 | and why seek ye further, omitting the type of Circumcision? |
| A58206 | are children in their nonage excluded from the blessing in Christ? |
| A58206 | because God hath as great a care of them as of others, therefore we must have no care of them in the application of the ordinary means? |
| A58206 | because it doth not in every place of Scripture signify infants, therefore doth it not any where, no not where infants are spoken of? |
| A58206 | because those of years professed their faith, and confessed their sins? |
| A58206 | but what evidence can there be in those things, whose authority can not be proved, and whose truth can not be infallible? |
| A58206 | but you say, this pertains to children when they are capable, but made with them assoon as they are alive( that is in the mothers womb) what this? |
| A58206 | can the holy Ghost be inactive, and without effectuall influence in any soul? |
| A58206 | de necessitate medii, in respect of infants salvation, as if they could not be saved without it? |
| A58206 | deale ingenuously then; do you affime that by whole, or all, the Scripture doth alwayes meane, persons of reason and age? |
| A58206 | doe you affirme that by whole families, is ever meant all persons of age within the family, and such only? |
| A58206 | doth the incapacity in respect of one command, conclude an incapacity of all? |
| A58206 | hath a stone or tree any habitual faith, or reason, or any capacity of the holy Ghost, illumination, or sanctification? |
| A58206 | how could infants receive circumcision, who could do as little duty as infants now can? |
| A58206 | hum,& quid est aquae nisi aqua? |
| A58206 | if evill or unjust, why consult you how to imitate it by way of revenge? |
| A58206 | if of children, what can they, as such, perform? |
| A58206 | is it not a shame to be such, as we are or may well be ashamed to be called? |
| A58206 | is not this froathy- Rethorick? |
| A58206 | is your meaning, Some of them that are capable of the same grace, are not alwaies capable of the signe thereof? |
| A58206 | might he not be sealed or saved? |
| A58206 | must all the world be drown''d, and only eight persons saved? |
| A58206 | nay, but no man can be edified by that which is destructive; or in Enthusiasms and Revelations? |
| A58206 | or a Boyish manner of contest, to call Whore, and all ill names, where they have not other power to prevail? |
| A58206 | or because they have not faith, do you conclude them all damned who die in their infancy? |
| A58206 | or deny it to any within the Church, needing Regeneration, that they may be saved? |
| A58206 | or did he at first make any more then one husband and one wife? |
| A58206 | or did not Tertullian know what he wrote? |
| A58206 | or doe you not take a child of eight dayes old( when it was by Gods command and covenant to receive the seal) to be an infant? |
| A58206 | or what wil it advantage you if it were true? |
| A58206 | say you, how can he be passive who can not be active at all? |
| A58206 | so hath he a care for their bodily preservation and sustenance; doth that prove that we ought not to feed or cloath them? |
| A58206 | that is, did he make any more wives for Adam then one? |
| A58206 | the Apostle saith, much every way: and what is the advantage of the believing Christians child, and Gods covenant with them? |
| A58206 | the seal of circumcision? |
| A58206 | therefore Infants who can not so do, may not be baptized? |
| A58206 | they only who can actually for the present repent? |
| A58206 | this covenant? |
| A58206 | to whom? |
| A58206 | were it not rather to tempt God, if( as much as in us lies) we should shut up the doore and inlet into his kingdome against infants? |
| A58206 | were the infants excepted? |
| A58206 | were they no wayes liable to this double precept, repent and be baptized every one of you? |
| A58206 | what are they damn''d? |
| A58206 | what doth God, when he said to Abraham — and in thee all the families of the earth shall be blessed; doth he meane only all persons of age? |
| A58206 | what in Traditions and unwritten verities? |
| A58206 | what, is it of force only to men and women of yeares; where''s the infants part? |
| A58206 | what, no more then of Turkes, and Jewes? |
| A58206 | what, to those who had been children, but were now of years to be taught, believe and repent? |
| A58206 | when? |
| A58206 | where have they any express precept for dipping over head and ears? |
| A58206 | where have they any express precept for their long prayers, for baptizing women, or administring the communion to them? |
| A58206 | where is any precept obliging to a place? |
| A58206 | where is his priviledge of federall holynesse, as being borne of believing parents? |
| A58206 | where is there any syllable express, or probable for re- baptizing any? |
| A58206 | where shall we feek these, among our adversaries? |
| A58206 | wherein appears either matter or form thereto pertinent? |
| A58206 | which of all the reformed Churches ever did so? |
| A58206 | who know''s not, that God commanded severall things with respect to severall capacities? |
| A58206 | who knows not that these and the like things are left under the general rule, Let all things be done decently, and in order? |
| A58206 | who? |
| A58206 | you confesse baptisme to be the ordinary inlet into the kingdome of heaven; and is an ordinary thing a signe or miracle? |
| A58206 | — Why were it not as good they stayed to make it, till that time, before which time if they do make it, it is to no purpose? |
| A58206 | — Would it not as well follow à non scripto? |
| A58206 | 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 At ver ● num á nostris operibus pende ● sa ● ● is nestra? |
| A50248 | 2, 3, 4. and what was this denying the Power of Godliness that is charged upon them? |
| A50248 | 2.15, 16. and shall we say, that notwithstanding all this, they were received into compleat and immediate membership by their personal faith,& c? |
| A50248 | 224, 225? |
| A50248 | 26. was entring into a new Membership? |
| A50248 | 3. could answer all that is said in this Proposition? |
| A50248 | 4 of being ● e ● alone in their wickedness? |
| A50248 | 49 why may not the like be said of those who are onely Baptized in voto? |
| A50248 | 52. why should it be thought a dangerous matter to agree thereunto for the Substance thereof? |
| A50248 | 59? |
| A50248 | 7 — 10. doth not that import an injunction to the Churches unto which they did belong, to Excommunicate them, if they had not already done it? |
| A50248 | A Parents Faith, Prayers, and Covenant may live, though hi ● self be dead: But how? |
| A50248 | A meer contrary Affirmation, how can it go for a sufficient Confutation? |
| A50248 | Adam was a Member of fallen Mankinde, and so are we, though he came to be so by his own personal act, and we by him, or by his act for us? |
| A50248 | Againe, how came Esau to lose his Membership? |
| A50248 | And Cartwright to ● ● at Question, What are the Duties of the rest of the Church that are pres ● nt at a C ● i ● des Baptisme? |
| A50248 | And do we not then express this, that the Parent whose Child ● is to be Baptized must be a Confederate visible Believer? |
| A50248 | And doth not this Neglect make way for I ● religion and Apostacy in Churches, no Church- way being used toward these for prevent ● ng thereof? |
| A50248 | And doth not this sufficiently imply, That children in those Churches, when adult, were under Discipline in those Churches? |
| A50248 | And for ability to examine themselves, can not this be wanting ▪ but the want of the being of faith must be inferred thence? |
| A50248 | And how came the Children of Abraham by Keturah to lose their Membership? |
| A50248 | And how can the Doctrine in hand have any such natural tendency? |
| A50248 | And if their communion with the Church did not cease, but continue, how can it be avoided but they were under Church- discipline? |
| A50248 | And if this be true, is it not then true, that if the Parents continue in the Covenant, the Seed of such Parents are also part of the Church? |
| A50248 | And in another place( b) unto this Question, To whom is the Lords Supper to be given? |
| A50248 | And indeed how can it? |
| A50248 | And indeed, how can it be otherwise? |
| A50248 | And indeed, how can that be taken for an Ordinance of Christ, which is not according to Scripture? |
| A50248 | And is not the Arguing of the Reverend Author much like it? |
| A50248 | And is there no danger of Corruption by Over- straitning the Subject of Baptism? |
| A50248 | And we di ● ● ered about this, Who are visible Believers? |
| A50248 | And what shall become of Children when their Parents are dead( as how many F ● therle ● s and Motherless Children are amo ● g us?) |
| A50248 | And when the Apostle bids Timothy, turn away from such; doth not this simply that they were Scandalous persons, and apparently wicked? |
| A50248 | And who ever made a specifical distinction of that, so as to say( in that sense) some are Mediate Subjects, and some Immediate? |
| A50248 | And why not? |
| A50248 | And why will not this follow? |
| A50248 | Are all the adult persons, whom they admit into Membership, such as the Proposition describes? |
| A50248 | Are not we as truely, personally, and immediately Members of the Body of fallen Mankinde, as Adam was? |
| A50248 | Besides, how shall we know a thing to be an Ordinance of Christ, if it be not according to the Scripture? |
| A50248 | But as mediate as their Member ● ● ip is, here is somewhat added, that shall touch these adult Children themselves; and what is that? |
| A50248 | But can we not deal with Arguments, without being supposed to reflect upon the Persons each of other? |
| A50248 | But did either of them ple ● d for greater strictness then the Synod doth? |
| A50248 | But for the other, of being Immediate Members, why doth not this follow from their being partakers of the Covenant, the formalis ratio of Membership? |
| A50248 | But how do they agree therein, if for all this in graffing there be something between the stock and them? |
| A50248 | But how shall they be reconciled, if the latter, as well as the former, be meant of the Church- visible? |
| A50248 | But if this denial do deny them to have any part in the Lord, and so make them cease from fea ● ing the Lord, how can it be but as is said? |
| A50248 | But is there any Proof of the contrary to what the Synod affirmeth? |
| A50248 | But is this certain, that a different way of covenanting, makes a different kinde of membership? |
| A50248 | But is this certain, that neither Rule in Scripture, nor good Reason, will give warrant for such charity as is mentioned? |
| A50248 | But is this certain, that the Parents in question are visibly breakers of the covenant? |
| A50248 | But is this which is here affirmed certain and clear, that want of the ability and exercise spoken of, doth argue want of the very being of Faith? |
| A50248 | But shall we therefore deny or scruple their Admission thereunto? |
| A50248 | But then how can this stand which is there said, that such persons are not under the Watch, Discipline and Government of the Church? |
| A50248 | But to that Question, Would you admit all sorts to the Lor ● s Supper? |
| A50248 | But what is all this to the Children of our Churches? |
| A50248 | But what is all this to the matter in hand? |
| A50248 | But what is there in this to overthrow the Synods Assertion? |
| A50248 | But what weight is there in this, to weaken the Synods Argument? |
| A50248 | But where is there any thing to shew that the administration of Baptism, pointed to by the Synod, is undue? |
| A50248 | But why do not the things mentioned avail to put the Parent into Church- fellowship? |
| A50248 | But why doth not this Reason and Text prove the thing intended by the Synod? |
| A50248 | But why doth this Text speak nothing for the advantage of the Synod? |
| A50248 | But why should we use personal membership in so improper a sence, or insist on a sence that toucheth not the cause in question? |
| A50248 | But why then is this Proposition stuck at? |
| A50248 | But will any say, that to be a childe of a Church- member is no priviledge at all to a childe, but onely to the Father? |
| A50248 | By the Covenant God gives himself to be a God to his People, and to their seed in their generations, Gen. 17. and shall we say this is nothing? |
| A50248 | Calvin in his Geneva- cate ● hism, to that Question, Whether Pasters may give the Sacraments to all? |
| A50248 | Can distracted persons do so? |
| A50248 | Can persons be truly called Holy, as in the Text alledged, or an Holy seed, as Ezra 9. and yet not be Members of the visible Church? |
| A50248 | Can there be such Vigilancy, Care and Endeavours towards such as are no ● under the watch of the Church at all? |
| A50248 | Can they be Israelites, and not Israel, in the same respect? |
| A50248 | Do ye not judge them that are within? |
| A50248 | Doth he deny that it is want of opportunity that hinders the Parents from doing what is required in the fifth Proposition? |
| A50248 | Doth it not plainly appear thereby, that a different way and means of being in Covenant, doth not make a different sort of Membership? |
| A50248 | For what hath the Church to do to judge men without? |
| A50248 | For what is more easie then for an offender to forsake the Assembly, to separate himself,& c? |
| A50248 | For, can we think that those Churches had no Church- discipline in them? |
| A50248 | For, doth not the Vigilancy of Church- Elders, import some kinde of Church- watchfulness? |
| A50248 | For, is any Parent such a procreant cause of his childs Being by gen ● raci ● n, as not to be instrumental under God therein? |
| A50248 | God is Almighty, and All- sufficient, and is it nothing to have such a God to be a God to us, and to our seed? |
| A50248 | Here we see are various wayes of covenanting; but shall we say that these do infer divers kinds of membership? |
| A50248 | How can a Separation be properly pertinacious and incurable, or appear so to be, till the means of Church discipline have been used? |
| A50248 | How strangely is this misapplied to the matter in hand( b)? |
| A50248 | How then is it here said, that the Synod would not let this which themselves acknowledged, be expressed, though our Vnity lay at the stake for it? |
| A50248 | How then? |
| A50248 | If In, why is Baptism denied to their Children? |
| A50248 | If Out, how co ● e they so to be? |
| A50248 | If he be without, why should you disown him, any more then you do Non- members, or such as were never joyned to the Church? |
| A50248 | If it be said, that the baptizing of these in question hardens the Parent? |
| A50248 | If it may not be granted that they continue Members, why should not something be produced to prove the contrary? |
| A50248 | If some Authors have so distinguished Members, yet where is such a distinction of Membership? |
| A50248 | If the meaning onely be that Infants do not enter into Covenant by an act of their own proper persons; who ever said or thought they did? |
| A50248 | If the persons described in the Proposition be said to be broken off, what is this l ● ss then the thing that is so disowned? |
| A50248 | If then the union of Members with the Church be ● ● graffing, how can it be avoided but it must be immediate, and so they be immediate Members? |
| A50248 | If therefore the children spoken of be in the Covenant, how can the deniall of Baptism to them be any other then is said? |
| A50248 | If therefore there were these three differences, and as many more, between the cases alledged, yet where is there any difference in the main point? |
| A50248 | If they be breakers of it, then sure they are comprehended in it: for, how can men break the Covenant, wh ● ch they are not in? |
| A50248 | If this will not suffice, but there must be some other qualifications besides, and superadded unto this, what shall become of them? |
| A50248 | Is Regular Communion so good and excellent, and can it be hurtful for Churches to agree and consent to Practise it? |
| A50248 | Is it an act of covenanting, which is the instrumental means? |
| A50248 | Is it come to this, that Children are not Members of any Instituted Church? |
| A50248 | Is it covenan ●-interest, which is the formalis ratio of membership? |
| A50248 | Is it divine gran ●, and institution, which is the principal efficient? |
| A50248 | Is it not a main point in ingraffing, that the union between the branch and the stock be immediate, and that nothing lye between them? |
| A50248 | Is not here plain suitableness in the Similitude? |
| A50248 | Is not this a rendring of them, in respect of their children, in a worse condition then formerly? |
| A50248 | Is their giving up themselves and ● h ● ● r children to the Lord, a cause to cut off their children from having any part in the Lord? |
| A50248 | Is there no danger of putting those: out of the visible Church, whom Christ would have kept in? |
| A50248 | May there not be the being and truth of that grace, even there where the exercise of it is much wanting? |
| A50248 | No we do not see that he denieth this at all? |
| A50248 | Now can the neglect of Church- watchfulness be a cause of this evil, if the Lord have not appointed them to be under the same? |
| A50248 | Now doth not this prove the thing intended? |
| A50248 | Now if they be breakers of it, is it not thereby clear that they are comprehended in it? |
| A50248 | Now we demand, how they can be admitted as Members ▪ who are already as compleat, and perfect Members as any in the Chur ● h? |
| A50248 | Now what saith the Reverend Author to these Proofs? |
| A50248 | Now what saith the Reverend Author to these? |
| A50248 | Now what saith the Reverend Author to this in his Reply? |
| A50248 | Now what saith the Reverend Author to this? |
| A50248 | Now what saith the Reverend Author to this? |
| A50248 | Now what saith the Reverend Author unto this? |
| A50248 | Now what saith the Reverend Author unto this? |
| A50248 | Psal 50 16. but doth the Lord say this to such as were qualified as in this fifth Proposition? |
| A50248 | That Interest in the Covenant is the main ground of title to Baptism? |
| A50248 | That more then membership is also requisite to the receiving of the Lords Supper? |
| A50248 | That when they are grown up, they are not under the watch, discipline and government of the Church? |
| A50248 | The Lord knows how many may from outward Membership in the visible Church, drop to Hell; and does not their Death put an end to their Membership? |
| A50248 | The Synod, to shew that Children are actual, complea ●, and immediate members, asketh, what do they want hereunto? |
| A50248 | The words of the Text are express and plain, What have I to do to judge them also that are without? |
| A50248 | To some indeed the Lord saith, What hast thou to do to take my covenant in thy mo ● th? |
| A50248 | To use it, being not so qualified visibly, is it not a treacherous usurping of the Great Seal of the King of Heaven and Earth? |
| A50248 | VVhat if all this were granted? |
| A50248 | W ● at is t ● is Disow ● ing? |
| A50248 | We demand, whether this Disowning be not a putting one out of the Church, that was before in it? |
| A50248 | We demand, whether this does not fully yield the Cause, and give us as much as we need to the matter in hand? |
| A50248 | We have known an Antipoedebaptist flie to this as his Sheat- Anchor[ Infants are Members; ● ut how? |
| A50248 | We might also ask whether such a member of reasoning as is here used would prove Women to be no Members of an Instituted Church? |
| A50248 | Wh ● t state of fitness was the unclean Iewish Parent in, but onely a state of membership? |
| A50248 | What proof is there, that except this be done, there can be no ground for the charitable judgement that is mentioned? |
| A50248 | What shall be said then of little children? |
| A50248 | What then doth the Reverend Author here say? |
| A50248 | What though the voluntary Combination, mentioned by by Mr. Rutherfurd, in his sense doth inferre a Classical Membership and Iurisdiction? |
| A50248 | What though there be no mention of Church- censure in the Texts alledged? |
| A50248 | Who ever said that any were broken off for growing up to adult age? |
| A50248 | Why doth it not follow, that if God did establish the Church of the Iews by a progress of the Covenant, that therefore he doth so now? |
| A50248 | Why should such a thing be barely affirmed, and not proved? |
| A50248 | and if his deni ● l do cause that they have no part in the Lord, doth it not also cause their Irreligion and ● postacy? |
| A50248 | and if so, what should hinder but that Children, when grown up, may as well be under Church- discipline now, as under the Old Testament? |
| A50248 | and is not that all one, as to have true Faith in the judgement o ● Charity? |
| A50248 | and is not their subjection to Church- discipline, when adult, in the new Testament, rightly inferred from the like subjection in the Old? |
| A50248 | and is there not the like reason of other punishments, whether Ecclesiastical or Civil? |
| A50248 | and might they be then under Church- discipline, and yet now not so, because here there is not par ratio? |
| A50248 | and the want of children even in married persons to be by Gods restraining hand, and sh ● tting up the W ● ● b? |
| A50248 | and what could all their Profession, and Faith, and Actings do, if God did not vouchsafe to take them into Covenant? |
| A50248 | and where shall we have Scripture- warrant for such a Church- disowning as is not Excommuni ● ation? |
| A50248 | are they In the Church, or Out? |
| A50248 | are they Members of the Catholick visible Church? |
| A50248 | be a sufficient proof thereof? |
| A50248 | can men be faulty for not performing Covenant- engagements, when they are not comprehended in the Covenant? |
| A50248 | can men cease from fearing the Lord, and from having any par ● in h ● ●, and yet this not tend to Apostacy and Irreligion? |
| A50248 | can one be bound by that which is not in being? |
| A50248 | do they take a right course to know they are such? |
| A50248 | doth not this plainly shew, that Parents are but Instrumental under God in the begetting of Children? |
| A50248 | for if it was so with the Jews children, is it not also so with ours, according to the Synods arguing? |
| A50248 | for, may they be now Baptized in their infancy, as then they were Circumcised, because there is in both par ratio? |
| A50248 | how much more those who never had such membership? |
| A50248 | i. e. Virtually, in the virtue and effect of them: And how is that? |
| A50248 | i. e. What have they more then this, that they are regularly( by the Rules of Gods Word, and his Institution therein) within the visible Church? |
| A50248 | if not, is it not a vain thing? |
| A50248 | must we binde the Holy- Ghost to mention all Truths and Rules together in one Text or Context? |
| A50248 | no, not in the least degree? |
| A50248 | or are they no Members at all? |
| A50248 | or are they such breakers of it, who if they have not publickly acted as aforesaid, the reason hath been, because they have been inevitably hindred? |
| A50248 | or farre removed, and when Children are sui juris, and not under the wings of their Parents? |
| A50248 | or how can it be denied, but that this ariseth from their different qualifications? |
| A50248 | or that it is an undue Administration of B ● ptism to extend it further then the Lords Supper? |
| A50248 | or that the Members of them were not under that Discipline? |
| A50248 | or the children, when grown up, were not Members? |
| A50248 | or to administer Baptism to some unto whom we do not administer the Lords Supper? |
| A50248 | or to what purpose is that? |
| A50248 | shall they be Owned ▪ or Disowned? |
| A50248 | such as they are capable of, though not of all; and then why may not the like be yielded concerning the adult persons spoken of? |
| A50248 | that might help them toward Heaven? |
| A50248 | there being cause for it? |
| A50248 | to what purpose should this be? |
| A50248 | we suppose this can not be denied; and therefore if a progress of the Covenant did establish the Church then, why not so now? |
| A50248 | were they not Scandalous in life, but did give up themselves to the Lord, and subject themselves to the Government of Christ in his Church? |
| A50248 | what course do they take to know it? |
| A50248 | what need we labour in finding out distinctions to deny them that which no body ever challenged for them? |
| A50248 | what shall then become of Gods institution in this matter? |
| A50248 | when as the offence doth not cut off the Parents Membership, is there any reason it should cut off the Membership of the Childe? |
| A50248 | — And why may not the Church deny Baptism to any childe of a believing Parent? |
| A50248 | ● ez ●, concerning the Question who are to be Baptized? |
| A58207 | * Corpus Christi naturale fuit veré sepultum; an putandum est nostra corpora eodom modo sepeliri in administratine baptismi? |
| A58207 | 1,& c. what, would you have your disciples baptized with the sprie of two neighboring seas, and a cloud of fresh water raining on their heads? |
| A58207 | 1. quis enim potest dare quod ipse non habeat? |
| A58207 | 10. Who( of any sense) doth not understand that of those that can, and will not? |
| A58207 | 14. pronounceth in the present) by a designation to the service of Iesus, Christ, and the future participation of the promises? |
| A58207 | 21 ● saying all flesh dyed — every man — meane onely all of reason and age? |
| A58207 | 21. of what? |
| A58207 | 3 20, 21. what, must the type and truth agree in all things? |
| A58207 | 36: see here is water, what doth let me to be baptized? |
| A58207 | 4 When the Apostle saith the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife; if any ask, what wife? |
| A58207 | 5 If the matter must be put upon express words of Scripture, let our Antagonists shew us where they are expresly forbidden to baptize Infants? |
| A58207 | A gallant flourish indeed: but seriously; Did Christ take them up in his arms, and bless them; and are they not blessed? |
| A58207 | Again, Baptism is administred with the words of institution by Christ appointed; take away the Word, and what is the Water but ordinary water? |
| A58207 | All these vain and injurious expressions, are meer aspersions: and call you this an Argument considerable? |
| A58207 | And I pray how could the Priest under the Law know the minds of children to be circumci ● ed? |
| A58207 | And again, who is eaten with the zeal of Gods house? |
| A58207 | And if a quality, of what kind it is? |
| A58207 | And what solidity is there on these conjectures, to conclude that Hieroms parents, though Christian, defer''d his baptism until he was 30 years old? |
| A58207 | And where is then their answer of a good conscience toward God? |
| A58207 | And who is so ready to cast this odious Livery upon others, as the most Antichristian? |
| A58207 | And why can not God as well do his mercies to infants now immediatly, as he did before the institution either of circumcision or baptism? |
| A58207 | And why is it more proportionable to an act of reason and humanity to defer childrens baptism, then in due time to baptize them? |
| A58207 | But let us hear the rest of Tertullians advice; was it only concerning the deferring infants baptism? |
| A58207 | But to what purpose do you propose any of these examples to your clients imitation? |
| A58207 | But what follows? |
| A58207 | But what if they never marry, must they never be baptized? |
| A58207 | But what is crucifying again? |
| A58207 | But what makes this against baptizing infants of parents known to be within the Church? |
| A58207 | But what other battalio''s come next up? |
| A58207 | But you demand, if it implies a duty on our part, how then can children receive it, who can not do duty at all? |
| A58207 | But you say, Circumcision left a Character in the flesh, which being imprinted upon Infants, did it work upon them when they came to age?] |
| A58207 | But you say, — The infant is not capable of believing, and if he were, he were also capable of dissenting; and how then do they know his mind?] |
| A58207 | By demanding, quanta est major Propositio? |
| A58207 | Can any be saved without such grace? |
| A58207 | Can there be a sound conclusion from rotten premises? |
| A58207 | Can you be assured that none of these who are baptized in infancy, and no otherwise, are regenerate and saved? |
| A58207 | Could they if sent into Painim- Countreys with all the terms of your supposition, have been more disposed to an actual belief without a new Master? |
| A58207 | Did their Baptizers profane Baptism? |
| A58207 | Do any creatures under the degrees of man, bear the image of their Creator, in immortality, sanctity and light of understanding? |
| A58207 | Do they say so when they speak of infant- baptism? |
| A58207 | Do we then complain against God, when we complain of the Anabaptists abridging children of that which God hath allowed them? |
| A58207 | Do you account obedience to God and his holy ordinances, to be a tempting of God? |
| A58207 | Do you also call the truth thereof in question? |
| A58207 | Do you mean by the Holy Ghost, the gi ● ts and graces of Gods holy Spirit regenerating the elect to the Kingdome of Heaven? |
| A58207 | Do you think there is no danger from infants original guilt which maks them stand in need of the laver of regeneration for the remission of their sin? |
| A58207 | Doth God save any Infants? |
| A58207 | Doth it follow therefore a man may make confession of Christ with his mouth to salvation, before he believeth in him in his heart? |
| A58207 | Doth not Gods blessing give both end and means that we may be so? |
| A58207 | God created him — male and female created he them: both one flesh, and so but one — and wherefore one? |
| A58207 | God hath appointed baptism to be a seal and token of our receiving and entrance into the Church; is it to no purpose to obey him in his Ordinances? |
| A58207 | How can any meer man know whom to baptize, though of years, and whom to put by? |
| A58207 | How doth that appear? |
| A58207 | How invalid is the Moderators Agument, à non scripto, ad non factum? |
| A58207 | How know you that Iohn B. or the Apostles never baptized any Infants? |
| A58207 | How many impertinences are he ● e twisted up together? |
| A58207 | How many ridiculous consequences would you thence inferre? |
| A58207 | How much more rationally may ● e make covenant with infants, though yet without the actuall use of reason? |
| A58207 | How often hath Satan in tempting to sin, misled the incaucious with this suggestion, there can be no danger in it,''t is the surer way? |
| A58207 | How poor a spirited mother art thou, and of how little faith? |
| A58207 | How then shall we be renewed after our falling into sin? |
| A58207 | How vain and malitious is this calumny of yours? |
| A58207 | I appeal to your own conscience ▪ may we as well conclude against Gods word, as for it? |
| A58207 | I demand then, Do infants believe? |
| A58207 | I demand, Doth God perform every one of his promises? |
| A58207 | I demand, quo jure, by what right is the Kingdom of Heaven theirs? |
| A58207 | I wonder what they will be ashamed to say, who blush not at such assertions? |
| A58207 | I would gladly be resolved, quanta est illa propositio? |
| A58207 | I. Quid igitur? |
| A58207 | If any ask, why it comes out so late to publike view? |
| A58207 | If giving the Seal to those who can not be profited thereby, be profanation of the same, how often do you prophane the holy Seal? |
| A58207 | If it be a ceremony only, how doth it sanctifie us, or make the comers thereunto perfect? |
| A58207 | If it be a duty on our part to administer it, how can children receive it, who can not do any duty at all? |
| A58207 | If it be necessary to baptism that the baptizer know the mind of the person to be baptized, how can you baptize men of years? |
| A58207 | If it implys a duty on our part, how then can children receive it, who can not do duty a ● all?] |
| A58207 | If not, how maliciously is this objected against us, baptizing Infants of Believers, Christ himself expresly avowing them as subjects of his Kingdom? |
| A58207 | If not, why inferre you them? |
| A58207 | If this argument were good, how many men and women of age, must by the same reason be denyed baptism? |
| A58207 | If you do not, why do you urge against us an authority which your self consenteth not unto? |
| A58207 | If you mean the second, that is, that we less know the truth then the evidence; what blame you in our cause, or advantage your Clients? |
| A58207 | If you say we see no evidence, nor can the blind see the Sun; what can you gain hereby? |
| A58207 | If you will have none baptized before the works of the Spirit, before the operations of grace,& c. when and whom may you baptize? |
| A58207 | If( you say) by the external work alone, how doth this differ from the opus operatum of Papists, save that it is worse? |
| A58207 | In which it seemeth to us a very weak querie, And why can not God as well do his mercies to Infants now immediately? |
| A58207 | Is not the Scripture evident? |
| A58207 | Must this be by vertue of baptism by water onely, or the externall ministration thereof? |
| A58207 | Nay but tell me, if you can, by all your reason, how could infants receive baptism except we did administer it? |
| A58207 | No man rationally asketh, What need we two eyes who can see with one? |
| A58207 | Onely this( you say) that God hath as great a care of Infants, as of others,& c.] Here is another argument as feeble as the fore- going: What? |
| A58207 | Or spake Christ onely concerning the carnall seed of Abraham, and not of the spirituall when he said, Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven? |
| A58207 | Popery and Pelagianism twisted together? |
| A58207 | Possibly Ioash would here have replied to such a short Scheme of plea, — Will ye plead for Baal? |
| A58207 | Qui rebaptizatur, jam Christianus fuerat: quomodo dici potest iterum Christianus& c? |
| A58207 | Quis comeditur z ● ● ● ● mus Dei? |
| A58207 | Restore such a one — but how? |
| A58207 | Shall not they therefore that have the use of reason be baptized? |
| A58207 | Since faith is necessary to the susception of baptism,& c.] True in adultis; what is this to our present question concerning infants? |
| A58207 | So v. 1. the maimed or Eunuch shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord& c. what? |
| A58207 | So when the Prophet would recall the Jews from P ● lygamie to pure wedlock, he said, did not he( that is God the Creator) make one? |
| A58207 | Speak you this as a matter doubtfull? |
| A58207 | That is the act of understanding, ● aith and repentance? |
| A58207 | That would be a rare invention indeed: but if to call Anabaptists Anabaptists, be just, why find you fault with it? |
| A58207 | The old Academicks were wo nt to question the testimonie and evidence of their own senses with a quid si falleris? |
| A58207 | This weakly follows from unsound premises; was there no word added to Circumcision? |
| A58207 | This you will put upon necessary consequence, where you have no express word: And why shall we not have the like liberty for Infant- Baptism? |
| A58207 | This( say you) is the greatest vanity in the world] What vanity? |
| A58207 | To the Parents or to the children? |
| A58207 | To what children was that promise made? |
| A58207 | Was not the reason of the Covenant declared to Abraham? |
| A58207 | Was that faith which the Apostle commended onely there, or then when Hierom wrote in all the Western Church? |
| A58207 | Was there not a word of Institution? |
| A58207 | We know the word( children) importeth not alwayes infants; what then? |
| A58207 | Were it good Georgicks to say, Trouble not your self to fodder your cattle, or loose them from their stall that they may drink? |
| A58207 | What Word? |
| A58207 | What are these real services, and whose? |
| A58207 | What are we nearer heaven if we are baptized?] |
| A58207 | What did vidual continency, or conjugal fidelity concern infants, as such? |
| A58207 | What do you herein say which might not as well have been objected against the circumcision of infants? |
| A58207 | What must they be interessed onely when they come to that act of which by nature they have the faculty? |
| A58207 | What need all this stirre? |
| A58207 | What promise? |
| A58207 | What the Citie of Rome? |
| A58207 | What then? |
| A58207 | What think you of the validity of that Argument which is from Gods power to his will? |
| A58207 | What think you then of our Christian Sabbath? |
| A58207 | What was it which he called Peters Chair? |
| A58207 | What yoke? |
| A58207 | What, by descent from naturall parents? |
| A58207 | What; because''t is not written? |
| A58207 | What? |
| A58207 | What? |
| A58207 | Whence have you either such knowledg or commission so to judg? |
| A58207 | Where can you shew us in terminis, Thou Thomas, John, Andrew,& c. shalt be baptized and saved? |
| A58207 | Whether a quality, action, or passion? |
| A58207 | Whether it be a figure or form? |
| A58207 | Whether it be an ● ns rationis, or a relatio realis? |
| A58207 | Whether the Sacraments of the old Testament made the like impress? |
| A58207 | Whether the subject thereof be the soul, or some active or passive faculty thereof? |
| A58207 | Who affirms that which you suppose? |
| A58207 | Why I write after so many, so much more able to defend the truth, might possibly put me to the Oratours quaere y What is left for me to do? |
| A58207 | Why did you not rather say that this device was P. Lombards( who mentioneth the Imputative faith you speak of) or some of the following Schoolmen? |
| A58207 | Why do ye deny them baptism? |
| A58207 | Why might you not say the same also concerning circumcision? |
| A58207 | Why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the DISCIPLES? |
| A58207 | Why trouble you your self with our stir to do that which Christ commandeth us? |
| A58207 | Would you have our fall in Adam, and repair in Christ run literally parallell, even to circumstances? |
| A58207 | You say more, To whom is the commandement given? |
| A58207 | and how can you who baptize discern this? |
| A58207 | and why not now? |
| A58207 | and why not so in believing and repenting, seeing that God requireth impossibilities neither in things temporal nor spiritual? |
| A58207 | and why seek ye further, omitting the type of Circumcision? |
| A58207 | are children in their nonage excluded from the blessing in Christ? |
| A58207 | because God hath as great a care of them as of others, therefore we must have no care of them in the application of the ordinary means? |
| A58207 | because it doth not in every place of Scripture signify infants, therefore doth it not any where, no not where infants are spoken of? |
| A58207 | because those of years professed their faith, and confessed their sins? |
| A58207 | but what evidence can there be in those things, whose authority can not be proved, and whose truth can not be infallible? |
| A58207 | but you say, this pertains 〈 … 〉 when they are capable, but made with them assoon as they are alive( that is in the mothers womb) what this? |
| A58207 | can the holy Ghost be inactive, and without effectuall influence in any soul? |
| A58207 | de necessitate medii, in respect of infants salvation, as if they could not be saved without it? |
| A58207 | deale ingenuously then; do you affime that by whole, or all, the Scripture doth alwayes meane, persons of reason and age? |
| A58207 | doe you affirme that by whole families, is ever meant all persons of age within the family, and such only? |
| A58207 | doth the incapacity in respect of one command, conclude an incapacity of all? |
| A58207 | hath a stone or tree any habitual faith, or reason, or any capacity of the holy Ghost, illumination, or sanctification? |
| A58207 | how could infants receive circumcision, who could do as little duty as infants now can? |
| A58207 | if evill or unjust, why consult you how to imitate it by way of revenge? |
| A58207 | if of children, what can they, as such, perform? |
| A58207 | is it not a shame to be such, as we are or may well be ashamed to be called? |
| A58207 | is not this froathy- Rethorick? |
| A58207 | is your meaning, Some of them that are capable of the same grace, are not alwaies capable of the signe thereof? |
| A58207 | might he not be sealed or saved? |
| A58207 | must all the world be drown''d, and only eight persons saved? |
| A58207 | nay, but no man can be edified by that which is destructive; or in Enthusiasms and Revelations? |
| A58207 | operám ne perdemus? |
| A58207 | or a Boyish manner of contest, to call Whore, and all ill names, where they have not other power to prevail? |
| A58207 | or because they have not faith, do you conclude them all damned who die in their infancy? |
| A58207 | or deny it to any within the Church, needing Regeneration, that they may be saved? |
| A58207 | or did he at first make any more then one husband and one wife? |
| A58207 | or did not Tertullian know what he wrote? |
| A58207 | or doe you not take a child of eight dayes old( when it was by Gods command and covenant to receive the seal) to be an infant? |
| A58207 | or what wil it advantage you if it were true? |
| A58207 | say you, how can he be passive who can not be active at all? |
| A58207 | so hath he a care for their bodily preservation and ● ustenance; doth that prove that we ought not to feed or cloath them? |
| A58207 | that is, did he make any more wives for Adam then one? |
| A58207 | the Apostle saith, much every way: and what is the advantage of the believing Christians child, and Gods covenant with them? |
| A58207 | the seal of circumcision? |
| A58207 | therefore Infants who can not so do, may not be baptized? |
| A58207 | they only who can actually for the present repent? |
| A58207 | this covenant? |
| A58207 | to whom? |
| A58207 | were it not rather to tempt God, if( as much as in us lies) we should shut up the doore and inlet into his kingdome against infants? |
| A58207 | were the infants excepted? |
| A58207 | were they no wayes liable to this double precept, repent and be baptized every one of you? |
| A58207 | what are they damn''d? |
| A58207 | what doth God, when he said to Abraham — and in thee all the families of the earth shall be blessed; doth he meane only all persons of age? |
| A58207 | what in Traditions and unwritten verities? |
| A58207 | what, is it of force only to men and women of yeares; where''s the infants part? |
| A58207 | what, no more then of Turkes, and Iewes? |
| A58207 | what, to those who had been children, but were now of years to be taught, believe and repent? |
| A58207 | when? |
| A58207 | where have they any express precept for dipping over head and ears? |
| A58207 | where have they any express precept for their long prayers, for baptizing women, or administring the communion to them? |
| A58207 | where is any precept obliging to a place? |
| A58207 | where is his priviledge of federall holynesse, as being borne of believing parents? |
| A58207 | where is there any syllable express, or probable for re- baptizing any? |

| A58207 | wherein appears either matter or form thereto pertinent? |
| A58207 | which of all the reformed Churches ever did so? |
| A58207 | who know''s not, that God commanded severall things with respect to severall capacities? |
| A58207 | who knows not that these and the like things are left under the general rule, Let all things be done decently, and in order? |
| A58207 | who? |
| A58207 | — Auxentius solvit baptismum Christi — curigitur rebaptizan ● dos Auxentius fideles populos putat baptizatos in nomine Trinitatis,& c? |
| A58207 | — Why were it not as good they stayed to make it, till that time, before which time if they do make it, it is to no purpose? |
| A58207 | — Would it not as well follow à non scripto? |

| A26886 | ( That is, both profess it at present, and engage to continue in it; answering the interrogation Credis? |
| A26886 | ) But was the word[ entitled] in your Argument? |
| A26886 | 17, 9, 10. is concerning others,[ who can know it?] |
| A26886 | 2 Quest ▪ What must we take for a violent presumption, of the unsoundness of his claim? |
| A26886 | 2. and 3. were such or not? |
| A26886 | 2. he saith,[ Vt agamus de forma Ecclesiae, ubi potius essentialis ejus forma posita est, quàm in fide Christi interna? |
| A26886 | 2d Question is, what is the Common effect of Baptism on all that Receive it? |
| A26886 | 4, 5 Whether Profession be required for it self, or as a sign of the thing professed? |
| A26886 | 4. doth purposely dispute it, Vtrùm peccatores sint Baptizandi? |
| A26886 | 5. that such was their judgement, when they express no such thing? |
| A26886 | 6.17, 18 For what communion hath Light with darkness, and Christ with Belial, or a Believer with an Infidel? |

| A26886 | Again tell me, what a man should do to be of every learned good mans minde, or to escape their censures? |
| A26886 | All the doubt is, Whether they also ascribe Regenerating, Renewing Grace to all the rightly baptized? |
| A26886 | Also it is one thing to ask, Whether men have right to performance of their own part in Baptism, in part? |
| A26886 | An Equivocal faith is a Real faith; why then may it not cast out a Real Devil( that is, be a Causa sine qua non? |
| A26886 | An ● raeter electos vocatos etiam Reprobi, Infideles, sive occulti sive manifesti peccatores, verae Christi Ecclesiae membra sint? |
| A26886 | And I crave their patient sober enquiry, Whether that be not to make another species of Baptism and of visible Christianity? |
| A26886 | And Pag 268. he gives the like answer to the Question, Quid est credere in Jesum Cristum, qui ascendit in coelum?] |
| A26886 | And another question, whether they have Right to Both these? |
| A26886 | And another, Whether they have right to Gods part? |
| A26886 | And are not all the Philosophers that ever defined punishment,( so far as I know) agreed in it? |
| A26886 | And are not these more then unus Baxterus? |
| A26886 | And before they actually baptized them, they asked them whether they believed in God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost? |
| A26886 | And did you not set these words before your Readers eyes? |
| A26886 | And do you not fear to make these the Grounds of[ a charge?] |
| A26886 | And doth not that man shew his heart unfound, that can believe the next moment, and will not do it at the present? |
| A26886 | And he comes to the objection, How all that are baptized can be said to put on Christ, when Baptism is not effectual with all? |
| A26886 | And how have Gods servant in all ages of the Church to this day received comfort in such mixt Communion? |
| A26886 | And how many thousand souls may perish everlastingly? |
| A26886 | And if I be mistaken, why should he be so angry at it? |
| A26886 | And if they know not the essentials, may we not help them to a tolerable knowledge of them at the present, before we part with them? |
| A26886 | And if we may not Initiate such a one, how shall we bring him to the Lords Table? |
| A26886 | And if we may not initiate such a one, how shall we bring him to the Lords Table?] |
| A26886 | And if you prove it, I may the next time I see you demand all your Estate and Learning; and what will you do then? |
| A26886 | And is it certain, that Dr Molin knows the mind of Dallaeus better then he doth his own, or is sooner then himself to be believed in the report of it? |
| A26886 | And is it not a kind of impossibility for any unregenerate man, rationally and soberly to promise to be regenerate the next minute or instant? |
| A26886 | And is there any which is not de futuro? |
| A26886 | And might I not well say desideratur conclusio? |
| A26886 | And must all omit this that have no assurance or subjective Certainty? |
| A26886 | And must we not dispute against that also which is indirectly asserted? |
| A26886 | And should I be so unmerciful now as to confute this man, if I could do it? |
| A26886 | And should that which makes them the greater sinners, give them right of admittance into the Church? |
| A26886 | And so I confidently say still: And what''s this to your Cause at all? |
| A26886 | And so whether it be a mutual Covenant; and both parties be actually obliged? |
| A26886 | And then what certainty have we that any of our Ances ● ors had a true Dogmatical faith? |
| A26886 | And therefore we do not, nor must not ask them in Sacramental Administrations, whether they have saving faith by meer name, without description? |
| A26886 | And this would put us hard to the enquiry, Which is the Church that hath this Infallibility? |
| A26886 | And what Saints were they? |
| A26886 | And what a Church? |
| A26886 | And what have I said against this? |
| A26886 | And what is it that is denyed unanimously by other Congregations? |

| A26886 | And what''s this to the advantage of Mr. Blake''s Cause? |
| A26886 | And when shall we see the Donation that conveyed this Title to him? |
| A26886 | And why so? |
| A26886 | And would you have separated from all the Churches in the world? |
| A26886 | And yet he questioned with men in humane Language; he asketh some whether they believed, and Peter, whether he loved him? |
| A26886 | And yet what thoughts will you entertain of the Scripture? |
| A26886 | And yet will you in the next words perswade him that I talk of a faith short of justifying? |
| A26886 | Another, whether it be so necessary, that they ought not to come nor we to admit them without it? |
| A26886 | Are you resolved never to baptize more on the grounds that the Church of Christ hath alwayes baptized on? |
| A26886 | At least, few of them know that they do it sincerely( as themselves will here confess;) what then must these do in such a case? |
| A26886 | Because he named me not? |
| A26886 | But do you indeed think that all Equivocal terms are Culpable? |
| A26886 | But do you not contradict this, when you add[ yet if such Resolutions do not appear& c.] What if they appear not? |
| A26886 | But how prove you that the external Ordinance is a Nullity where there was no Title? |
| A26886 | But how should he be moved to consent by receiving it, and so signa ● ly Professing to consent when he doth not? |
| A26886 | But if they faithfully do their own part, how should the sins of others ● e their burden, unless by way of common compassion? |
| A26886 | But is it a likely thing that the Fathers and Catholick Church should be so blind as to take all for truly justified and regenerate that are baptized? |
| A26886 | But is this to say, They are vindictive, satisfactory to Justice, or more than chastisements? |
| A26886 | But it is much more disputable according to his principles, whether all that he should so Baptize, must not be rebaptized? |
| A26886 | But our Question is, Whether they they did not profess a saving faith? |
| A26886 | But our Question is, what the Circumciser must look for? |
| A26886 | But stay Brethren; do you build the Churches Peace on such terms as these? |
| A26886 | But tell me where any man was ever said in scripture to be united to Christ without saving faith, or the Profession of it? |
| A26886 | But that can not import a sincere Covenanting in saving Faith; For then how great a part of the people must be cut off? |
| A26886 | But the Question is, What they professed? |
| A26886 | But these will not serve his turn, but he must moreover have a third sort, even such as only Profess another faith short of Justifying? |
| A26886 | But to what, if not to have Christ as he is offered, who can tell? |
| A26886 | But what Saints? |
| A26886 | But what if he resolve not to continue it? |
| A26886 | But what if the Word had not truly converted them? |
| A26886 | But what if they deride and persecute Godliness it self, or a man because he is Godly? |
| A26886 | But what if they had or did say so? |
| A26886 | But what if they live many years in Sweating, or the like sin, is not that a certain sign of Ungodliness? |
| A26886 | But what is all this to a Saint- ship consisting in the Profession of a faith short of that which is Justifying? |
| A26886 | But what is that we may take for a sufficient reason of a mans claim? |
| A26886 | But what need we make any further enquiry, or dispute against a man that professedly yields the cause? |
| A26886 | But what shall I give you to make Mr. Blake of your opinion? |
| A26886 | But what shall we do for a Judge or Rule for the determining of our Controversie? |
| A26886 | But what then? |
| A26886 | But what''s that to the conveying of Right? |
| A26886 | But when I interpret this promise to be[ that he will so believe de futuro] he asketh me[ how comes de futuro in?] |
| A26886 | But where the contradictions? |
| A26886 | But where? |
| A26886 | But who are they? |
| A26886 | But with what comfort can the Godly have communion with the societies that are so mixt with multitudes of the ungodly? |
| A26886 | But you will perhaps say, what faith is that? |
| A26886 | But( I know some dissenting Brethren will say) what a Labyrinth do you bring the Church into on your grounds? |
| A26886 | Can Mr. Blake shew a Covenant of God ex parte sui distinct from this Promise? |
| A26886 | Can any man forbid water that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? |
| A26886 | Can any man have a fundamentall Righ ●, that denyeth any Fundamental Truth? |
| A26886 | Can you so lament the estate of the less miserable, and not of the more miserable? |
| A26886 | Dare you hold communion with no Church that hath some members that in your own Judgement are unfit to be there? |
| A26886 | Did I there once mention such a faith? |
| A26886 | Did ever I say that[ such] a faith gives evidence? |
| A26886 | Did he expect an answer from men, for the bare words sake? |
| A26886 | Did he oblige them to a true answer, or to a false? |
| A26886 | Did you think men would take no heed what they read? |
| A26886 | Do any Divines deny to question it? |
| A26886 | Do not those persons profess a Justifying faith? |
| A26886 | Do our Brethrens Grounds afford us any better footing? |
| A26886 | Do you call for proof? |
| A26886 | Do you put the wrong end forward, and indeed mean[ a profession of faith[ or] a faith conjunct with a profession]? |
| A26886 | Doth Gods Covenant give it them, and yet is there no Promise of it to such as they? |
| A26886 | Doth all Passive or Objective power, Natural, Violent or Neutral, come into act? |
| A26886 | Doth he make a justifying and a Dogmatical faith all one? |
| A26886 | Doth he promise that he doth at the present so believe? |
| A26886 | Doth not God call them his servants himself? |
| A26886 | Doth not Paul in all his Epistles speak of the Saints, as converted savingly by the word of the Gospel? |
| A26886 | Doth not Scripture expresly affirm it? |
| A26886 | Doth not this man think himself very wise in his zeal? |
| A26886 | For if Gods Law had been fulfilled, the parents had been put to death,( we speak of both parents) and then how could they have had a child? |
| A26886 | For what is that but to choose Christ for salvation? |
| A26886 | For what is that but to follow the rules of Christ and Scripture? |
| A26886 | For what man is so prone to scruple or question his own Right or his childrens, as another may be? |
| A26886 | For what profit can it be to any man to be convinced at so dear a rate, how much Mr. Blake hath miscaried in his arguing? |
| A26886 | For where can we expect to find it, if not here? |
| A26886 | For where would you find a Church( among us) where there be not many that have not a Dogmatical faith, which you say must give them Title to Baptism? |
| A26886 | For will he profess it to be true, when he takes it not to be true? |
| A26886 | Fourthly, Do you give us any reason to believe that a notorious ungodly person in your Church is in any better a state than an Infidel? |
| A26886 | God saith, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having on a Wedding garment? |
| A26886 | Hath such an assertion bin usually heard among the worshippers of the Creator& the admirers of his works? |
| A26886 | Have you to do with any man that denyeth it? |
| A26886 | He will think this is great confidence; but what Remedy? |
| A26886 | How are those born within the Church, whose Parents are no Members of the Church? |
| A26886 | How comes I pray you that future in? |
| A26886 | How contrary is this new Doctrine to the Word, and all the ancient Churches, and all approved Protestants Judgements? |
| A26886 | How few will take well a Reproof, but rather defend their sin? |
| A26886 | How knows he it, but on the word of his Master that tells him so? |
| A26886 | How oft hath this opinion been confuted in the Separatists? |
| A26886 | How prove you that therefore they should be admitted to receive? |
| A26886 | How will you difference between Truth and a lye? |
| A26886 | I ask''t whether Preachers be not bound to endeavour the saving conversion of whole Nations? |
| A26886 | I conclude my sentence in his following words;[ Quid ergò agendum est? |
| A26886 | I hope you will not: And how should it speak otherwise to mans understanding? |
| A26886 | I know my censures of his labors are like to be provoking: But who can help that? |
| A26886 | I know this is like to displease: But what remedy? |
| A26886 | I shall enqure further, Whether this be so or not? |
| A26886 | If I be asked, what I mean by a serious Profession? |
| A26886 | If any say so to me, I will hold my hand from baptizing one minute, and ask him whether now he be willing? |
| A26886 | If any, what is it? |
| A26886 | If every man that did ought presumptuously might be cut off from the Church, why not from the Living? |
| A26886 | If he ask, Why then did I there mention his name? |
| A26886 | If he be not worthy that he keepeth not this sign, what is written? |
| A26886 | If he yield that charity is to hope the best, Why not then to be put to it? |
| A26886 | If only words, than what if a man worship actively the Sun or Moon, while verbally he makes the Christian profession? |
| A26886 | If the Pastor be thus Judge, how can you say as before, That the Notoriously Ungodly are ipso Jure Excommunicated? |
| A26886 | If they lose by it no more then I, what cause have I to care? |
| A26886 | If you ask them,[ Are you heartily willing to have Christ to save you both from the guilt and reign of sin, and to glorifie you?] |
| A26886 | If you do, then what profession is it, and of what faith? |
| A26886 | If you were to baptize an Aged man, that comes new into Christianity would not you be the judges whether his profession seemed serious or not? |
| A26886 | In the highest matters about the Attributes and Works of God, how common are Equivocal terms? |
| A26886 | Is here one word of answer to any real part of the Argument? |
| A26886 | Is his word to be taken? |
| A26886 | Is it credible that all Israel must be forced to profess themselves true believers, when many were not? |
| A26886 | Is it not a wonder how the Major could be denied? |
| A26886 | Is it not bad enough if he will not resolve to leave it? |
| A26886 | Is it not our duty to refuse the children of more than the Notoriously Vngodly? |
| A26886 | Is it not put to it, when it must hope the best? |
| A26886 | Is it unlawfull to say[ Lord I believe] as long as we have any Vnbelief to be removed? |
| A26886 | Is not Mr. Blake able to distinguish, between an Hypocrite and a Professor of another sort of faith? |
| A26886 | Is not Repentance ever concomitant with Faith? |
| A26886 | Is not such dealing a sufficient prohibition to dispute? |
| A26886 | Is the Church the outward fulness of Christ, considered as Head? |
| A26886 | Is there a Divine on earth that will deny that there are Equivocal terms in Scripture? |
| A26886 | Is there no Reality in a picture or a corps? |
| A26886 | Is there the vilest Murtherer, or Adulterer, that is not purposed to leave it before he dies? |
| A26886 | Is this the same with yours, or as large? |
| A26886 | It is a great doubt whether there be any power, properly Decisive- judicial in the Church- Guides or not? |
| A26886 | It is one thing to ask, whether the profession of justifying Faith be a duty to all that come to be Baptized? |
| A26886 | It therefore excludeth expresly all other wayes of interest in the Covenant by Birth- Priviledge: Else how could that Negative be true? |
| A26886 | Its one thing to ask, Who may demand it and come there? |
| A26886 | Judge then whether the profession of this, be not the profession of saving faith? |
| A26886 | Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death? |
| A26886 | Know ye not that to whom ye yield your selves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey? |
| A26886 | Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death? |
| A26886 | Let them answer this for themselves, and they shall answer for us? |
| A26886 | May we not be certain that he is graceless or ungodly, that is a frequent Swearer? |
| A26886 | May we not take a man for Notoriously Ungodly, that hath been oft drunk, or oft committed fornication? |
| A26886 | Moreover, how much doth all History depend upon the word of of man? |
| A26886 | Mr. Corbet( cited by you) might well say, that primarily the Sacrament is Gods Seal; but did he say that it is only his, and not secondarily ours? |
| A26886 | Must Logick do the deed at last? |
| A26886 | Must men endeavour to convert a whole Nation, or not? |
| A26886 | Must we write confutations of such men as these? |
| A26886 | Nam de illis quoque ignoramus sictè neone accedant, an verè credant; an sint filii Praedestinationis, an Perditionis? |
| A26886 | Nay how many that did not provoke and harden them? |
| A26886 | Nay, is it not manifested that Dr Twiss himself hath frequently written for it? |
| A26886 | Nay, that they are not in a state much worse? |
| A26886 | Neque audiendi sunt qui hac de re movent scrupulum, ac dicunt, Quid si Minister fallatur? |
| A26886 | Non concludit quod est in Questione, quia Questio est, An sunt ex Ecclesia, seu membra Ecclesiae; non An in Ecclesia Visibili? |
| A26886 | Nor is God actually obliged to give them the blessings of the Covenant? |
| A26886 | Nor yet is it any of our Question, whether the Action of Receiving be commanded to any that are unregenerate, and so be his Duty? |
| A26886 | Note that the stress of the Controversie is not[ Whether it belong to them at all?] |
| A26886 | Now I would know of Mr. Blake, Whether all the Children of these Parents must be Baptized again, or not? |
| A26886 | Now what will you do with all these? |
| A26886 | Now which of these is it that Master Blake here meaneth? |
| A26886 | Or do you think that the covetous dissemblers had coram donatore a just claim, supposing him to be able to discern their deceit? |
| A26886 | Or is here such a Grievous inconvenience as you imagined? |
| A26886 | Or is it Infallible symptoms of the contrary which you mean, or which are sufficient to nullifie or invalidate that Profession? |
| A26886 | Or is not this a contradiction? |
| A26886 | Or to teach me how I may please you both, with the rest of the offended? |
| A26886 | Or what was it, I wonder, that occasioned the jealousie of it? |
| A26886 | Or will it follow that Receiving converteth, because the fears of unworthy Receiving do convert or conduce thereto? |
| A26886 | Or[ Whether it be their duty?] |
| A26886 | Or[ Whether such Children be the Objects of our Just, and Justifiable Action of Baptizing?] |
| A26886 | Our question is, what is a Disciple? |
| A26886 | Perhaps you will Object, If this be not Notorious ungodliness, what is? |
| A26886 | Q Ejusmodi verò parentibus natum infantem admitteres? |
| A26886 | Q. Quibus ergo Conditionibus? |
| A26886 | Quae est validitas Baptismi nisi haec, quòd baptismus tum praedicatus tum collatus confirmat omni Credenti Remissionem peccatorum? |
| A26886 | Quare? |
| A26886 | Quest Doth the inward Grace alway accompany the outward sign? |
| A26886 | Quid enim non habentibus Fadem& justitiam obsignarent? |
| A26886 | Quid enim non hathentibus fidem& justitiam obsignarem?] |
| A26886 | Quid est Credo in Jesum silium Dei unigenitum? |
| A26886 | Quid est credere in Christum crucifixum? |
| A26886 | Quid igitur illi baptismus in nomine Christi susceptus testatur minù, quàm omni Discipulo Christi? |
| A26886 | Quid sirevera Puer neque est filius Promissionis, divinae Electionis atque Misericordiae? |
| A26886 | Quid tu illos baptizat? |
| A26886 | Quinamsunt baptizandi? |
| A26886 | Quorsum ergò Baptismus eis traditur, si ante rem Baptismi habuerint? |
| A26886 | Shew where is a word of Promise that the Sacraments shall convert any one? |
| A26886 | Should not secret sin deterr aswell as open? |
| A26886 | Tell us how you will distinguish; will you not reject all that is apparently lying? |
| A26886 | The Apostle Peter writes to the scattered Jews that professed Christianity: And what kind of Christians or Believers did he take them for? |
| A26886 | The Church of the Colossians are called Saints: But what Saints? |
| A26886 | The Corinthians are called Saints; True: But what is meant by Saints? |
| A26886 | The Lord of that Feast saith not,[ Friend, why wast thou invited h ● ther?] |
| A26886 | The Question is[ Whether it be Gods command, that Ministers should baptize Children of notoriously ungodly men?] |
| A26886 | The Title indeed was Null ab initio, but prove that the Ordinance was so too? |
| A26886 | The second Question is, Whether the Minister may or must deliver the Sacrament to the unconverted, with this Intention that he may be converted by it? |
| A26886 | The third Question is, Whether the unconverted may Demand and receive that Sacrament as a means of Conversion? |
| A26886 | Then a Promise to be a Christian, so long hence may give right to Baptism: And who can tell how long it must be? |
| A26886 | Then we must re- baptize those whose ▪ Parents had not saving faith, because their Baptism is a Nullity: And what work will that make among us? |
| A26886 | Then you may well ask[ With what comfort can such Professors live in the sinful neglect of their own duty?] |
| A26886 | They may tell me so: but how will you prove that they tell me true? |
| A26886 | To proceed, the Church of Philippi are called Saints; True, but what Saints? |
| A26886 | To what purpose is the multitude of your Sacrifices? |
| A26886 | To which I answer; Are you able to search and know the heart? |
| A26886 | True: But what was meant by that word, and what Saints did they appear to Paul by their Profession to be? |
| A26886 | Two of these by a false oath, might put a man to death; and yet how seldom are such things done? |
| A26886 | Upon which Mr. Blake assumeth[ What have I spoke more than here is said? |
| A26886 | Was it not possible for a Jew upon mistake to Circumcise a man that had no Right to it, and yet upon some kind of misunderstood profession? |
| A26886 | Was not Paul sent by preaching to open mens eies and turn them from the power of Satan to God? |
| A26886 | We are next to consider, what are the Competitors which we now exclude? |
| A26886 | We suppose the child born after the Parents are excommunicate: And had that child a Right be ● ore he had a Be ● ng? |
| A26886 | What Church in all the world was ever of your Judgement? |
| A26886 | What Divines are there that deny the Sacraments to be mutual signs and seals, signifying and sealing our part as well as Gods? |
| A26886 | What did the Apostles require? |
| A26886 | What else is there to hinder any Heathen from the like Right? |
| A26886 | What heaps of clear Testimonies might we bring out of his Epistles? |
| A26886 | What if I distinguish the visible Kingdom from the Elect? |
| A26886 | What if by the Law of the Land a Traitors Estate be forfeit? |
| A26886 | What if twenty men will swear that I have written there is no God? |
| A26886 | What if you can not know the Parents justifying faith? |
| A26886 | What is necessary to make a man a true Member of the Catholick Church? |
| A26886 | What is required of persons to be baptized? |
| A26886 | What is the more sure Rule for our proceeding, which is here mentioned? |
| A26886 | What is this to our business? |
| A26886 | What is to be done in this strait? |
| A26886 | What matter is it then which is oftner mentioned, wh ● le both are mentioned, and both true? |
| A26886 | What more should a man expect to warrant him to do so? |
| A26886 | What proof of all this? |
| A26886 | What should the sence of this mysterie be? |
| A26886 | What take you for a sufficient disproof of a verbal profession? |
| A26886 | What them? |
| A26886 | What those Modes or concomitant Acts must be? |
| A26886 | What you do mean by[ a faith of Profession]? |
| A26886 | What''s that to the Major, or Argument? |
| A26886 | When I wrote 〈 ◊ 〉 the Index the contents of one section, thus[ whether it be virtually written in Scripture that Mr. Blake is justified? |
| A26886 | Where do you find in Scripture that such a faith is the Title to Sacraments? |
| A26886 | Whether Baxter and Woodbridge are not the same man? |
| A26886 | Whether God, who appointed this Sacrament, did intend that it should eventually be used to the Conversion of any souls? |
| A26886 | Whether Hypocrites and other Unregerate persons be called Christians, Believers, Saints, Church- members,& c. Univocally, Analogically or Equivocally? |
| A26886 | Whether any besides Regenerate Believers have a Right to the Sacraments given them by God, and may thereupon require them and receive them? |
| A26886 | Whether it be a Ministers duty to baptize them? |
| A26886 | Whether it be worth the while to write or preach to perswade men to offer such a service to God as doth but condemn themselves? |
| A26886 | Whether saving Sanctity or a common Sanctity and Faith short of it? |
| A26886 | Whether such subjects have Right by any Gift or Grant of God to themselves? |
| A26886 | Whether the Infants of Notoriously Ungodly Baptized Parents have Right to be Baptized? |
| A26886 | Whether the Infants of Notoriously ungodly Baptized Parents have Right to be Baptized? |
| A26886 | Whether the Infants of Notoriusly- ungodly baptized Parents have Right to be Baptized? |
| A26886 | Whether they have right for their Parents sake? |
| A26886 | Whether this Learned man know the judgement of all England? |
| A26886 | Who art thou that Judgest another mans servant? |
| A26886 | Who dare say that any of these were a Profession of Christianity? |
| A26886 | Who will doubt whether it can be so, when he sees it is so? |
| A26886 | Why did not Mr. Blake shew but one Text( for this one in hand) where any are said to be Justified upon a faith short of Justifying? |
| A26886 | Why do you expect that your Readers should believe your so frequent and evident mis- reports? |
| A26886 | Why then is it not done? |
| A26886 | Why then may not the same be said of an Infidel, that he may have a right for his child, though none for himself? |
| A26886 | Will Mr. Blake himself Baptize them, that will not thus profess? |
| A26886 | Will it follow that you may not know a Profession of it? |
| A26886 | Will my unpeaceableness excuse yours? |
| A26886 | Will you deny that the Scripture most commonly speaks of God himself himself in equivocal terms? |
| A26886 | Will you have Union and Communion with none but your own Party, that are in all things of your own Opinions? |
| A26886 | Will you take any verbal profession as a title, or not? |
| A26886 | Would Mr. Blake have the Children of all these rebaptized, or not? |
| A26886 | Yet remember that we say not that men ought to forbear coming that are unconverted; but that they ought to come; but how? |
| A26886 | You next add[ How will this make Christianity look with any better face? |
| A26886 | [ And who that dependeth on the mouth of Christ would baptize this man? |
| A26886 | [ Ergò servantur omnes ex pio parente oriundi? |

| A26886 | [ Sed quum is qui Papista est, non sit verè Christianus, non ejusmodi hominem adulium, nec dum baptizatum, ad Baptismum admitteres? |

| A26886 | and a third, whether Baptism without it be a Nullity? |
| A26886 | and also whether they have not the same uncertainty of the sincerity of that lower Faith in the Professors, as of true saving Faith? |
| A26886 | and another to ask, To whom may we give it? |
| A26886 | and are you not put in all this upon the same uncertainties, and to the use of probabilities as we? |
| A26886 | and consequently, Whether Mr. Blakes doctrine have delivered them from difficulties, or ensnared them? |
| A26886 | and did I ever speak with more and higher Confidence? |
| A26886 | and doth he not averr that he never denied it? |
| A26886 | and how far? |
| A26886 | and how ill do you to wrong the Church of God by seeking to make men believe that these things are new and strange? |
| A26886 | and how is he to be dealt with? |
| A26886 | and in what words? |
| A26886 | and is no more acceptable to God than the Pharises washing cups, or than the cutting of their flesh, or the rent in the garment? |
| A26886 | and proceed on meer probabilities, as well as we? |
| A26886 | and so prove that to you to be the title to Baptism and the Lord''s Supper? |
| A26886 | and take a violent presumption as ground for some determinations? |
| A26886 | and that if they do it not sincerely, that is not yet justifying faith which they profess? |
| A26886 | and the only thing in doubt is, Whether the person be penitent or impenitent? |
| A26886 | and they will say yea withal their hearts? |
| A26886 | and what Saints? |
| A26886 | and what is that but( supposing assent) the true description of saving faith? |
| A26886 | and what other way is there of knowing the signification of any Language whatsoever? |
| A26886 | and what was necessary to warrant them to circumcise them? |
| A26886 | and what''s your answer to that, unless you distinguish of two sorts, and mean that another sort there are that inherite Ordinances? |
| A26886 | and when? |
| A26886 | and where? |
| A26886 | and whether Mr. Blake know where to fix himself, and how to describe his Dogmatical faith? |
| A26886 | and whether he do not yield the cause that I am maintaining? |
| A26886 | and whether they are willing to have God for their only God, and Christ for their only Saviour, and the Holy Ghost their Sanctifier? |
| A26886 | as if every promise were not de futuro; Is it de praesenti? |
| A26886 | but whether they believe in God the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost; and renounce the World, Flesh, and Devil? |
| A26886 | but whether( as he affirmeth) to all alike? |
| A26886 | but you say so? |
| A26886 | can you discern sincerity by an infall ● ble judgment? |
| A26886 | for it was done by his own appointment: but[ Friend how camest thou in hither?] |
| A26886 | hath God bid or permitted this man to speak all this for nought? |
| A26886 | how much will Worcester- shire Congregations where this is received exceed other Congregations where unanimously it is denyed?] |
| A26886 | if I saw them Baptized with mine eyes? |
| A26886 | is not here a plain concession, that a profession of justifying faith is requisite to Baptism? |
| A26886 | like Dr. John White''s Catechumene, that being asked what Jesus Christ was? |
| A26886 | must I write against them all? |
| A26886 | or a ground for such a violent presumption that a man doth lye and dissemble, and is no Christian? |
| A26886 | or all this Nation, if they had been Heathens this hundred years, because their Ancestors were justly presumed to be Christians? |
| A26886 | or as a sign of their mind? |
| A26886 | or how will this warrant his new kind of Baptism, which must be administred upon the Profession of another sort of Faith? |
| A26886 | or in whole? |
| A26886 | or is the Administration of the Lords Supper to such a Nullity, or only unprofitable? |
| A26886 | or not intelligible? |
| A26886 | or that ever man was admitted to them upon such a profession? |
| A26886 | or that receiving is a means ordained and enjoyned for conversion, because seeing and hearing is? |
| A26886 | or themselves, if it were their case? |
| A26886 | or what one feather is plucked from his plume? |
| A26886 | or whether the necessary order of his duty be not first to believe and repent, and then to claim these ordinances? |
| A26886 | or whether they were admitted on the profession of another kind of faith? |
| A26886 | per gratiam supernaturalem,& viam illius gratiae;& quo tandem? |
| A26886 | tas, nisi Dei cultus? |
| A26886 | that is, I Invited thee not to come without the wedding garment to disgrace my house, but to bring it with thee? |
| A26886 | that is, by lying? |
| A26886 | that is,[ who can know anothers heart?] |
| A26886 | true or false? |
| A26886 | what bone is broken? |
| A26886 | what cross evidence will you take for currant? |
| A26886 | what is meant by that Baptism, the Right whereto we are now enquiring after? |
| A26886 | while we must judge of mens sincerity, we are left at uncertainty; and who knows among al these difficulties whom to judge godly, and whom ungodly? |
| A26886 | why saith he[ Who would not believe that I had directly asserted it, or made some unsavooy vaunts about it?] |
| A26886 | will it follow that eventually faith never followeth baptism, nor baptism never goeth before faith? |
| A26886 | will it not disable and discredit his profession with you? |
| A26886 | would ever the Church of Christ Baptize any but such? |
| A26886 | yea or unnecessary? |
| A26886 | you have Christ himself, and do you grudg them the name of Christians, or the bare symbole or signs of his body and blood? |

| A39573 | And now because you ask how we know they have faith whom we baptize? |
| A39573 | And now why tarriest thou? |
| A39573 | And what mean you by your Pastors leaving you to take up some other call or imployment? |
| A39573 | And what then? |
| A39573 | And whereas he saies of infants may they not be called Gods servants from the meer interest of dominion that God hath to them? |
| A39573 | Are soules all equal in their Creation, and are souls which are all equal the subject of faith? |
| A39573 | Are these your Examples of baptizing otherwaies then by dipping? |
| A39573 | Are you not ashamed of such a blind businesse as this? |
| A39573 | Buried? |
| A39573 | But Sirs is it so in earnest in your opinion, that no baptism no hope of salvation? |
| A39573 | But Sirs, will this hold a triall think you by the word? |
| A39573 | But by what proofs do they confirm they have the true Church? |
| A39573 | But if you stand so much on the signification of the word, why do you not drown persons when you baptize them? |
| A39573 | But is it so Sirs? |
| A39573 | But is it so that 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 signifies in and is so rendred in that place, and many more? |
| A39573 | But quorsum haec? |
| A39573 | But should you help the ungodly, and love them that hate the Lord? |

| A39573 | But what if this be but a meer Chimaera of those mens coining, how much lesse are we then excused in our non- submission? |
| A39573 | But what of this? |
| A39573 | But where was your Church then all this while till these latter times? |
| A39573 | Can any man forbid water why these should not be baptized, which have received the holy spirit as well as we? |
| A39573 | Can you be baptized in a better manner think you then that wherein Iohn baptized Christ, and Philip the Eunuch? |
| A39573 | Coventry, Cheapside, Charing,& others? |
| A39573 | Daniel was thrown into and taken up out of the Lyons den, does not that shew plainly enough that he was in it? |
| A39573 | Did I give, and grant so much? |
| A39573 | Did not Philip baptize the Samaritans and the Eunuch? |
| A39573 | Do not the infants of unbelievers very often prove believers, and so elect, and precious? |
| A39573 | Do you know any thing against the particular infant of an heathen? |
| A39573 | Doth not Philip to one that askt him this question, why may I not be baptized? |
| A39573 | Easter, Christmas, Whitsunday,& c. didst not thou O Presbyter? |
| A39573 | Fifthly, any where viz: at home or abroad, in Inns or other places, as occasion is, but onely or for the most part in your great stone houses? |
| A39573 | Fiftly, if as to the time of those two services, the question be askt Quando? |
| A39573 | First do you conclude that all the children of believing parents have it now? |
| A39573 | First which way come your natural seed, you being but Gentiles in the flesh, to be the seed of Abraham? |
| A39573 | First, Risum teneat is amici? |
| A39573 | First, Si aliquid quare non quicquid? |
| A39573 | First, if we ask( as de subjecto) this question quis? |
| A39573 | First, is it so that the command to circumcise infants is vertually a command to us to baptize them? |
| A39573 | For First, is there no Medium between being a reprobate, and a present having the holy spirit? |
| A39573 | Fourthly, if, as to the quality, special properties, uses, ends and offices of these two dispensations, the question be asked in quale quid? |
| A39573 | Go teach all Nations baptizing them, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I command you, and now why 〈 ◊ 〉? |
| A39573 | God forbid: know ye not that every one that''s baptized into Christ, is baptized into his death? |
| A39573 | Good Lord how is the practise of the truth made a reproach unto thy people, and a derision dayly? |
| A39573 | Good Sirs, what mean you by this? |
| A39573 | He answers, the commission being for all Nations disciples were made in all Countreys; how soone saith he came the word to this Nation? |
| A39573 | Here reason demands of you why after bap ● … ism you admit not infants to the supper? |
| A39573 | Holland, Germany,& c. and bring the word unto us, that we may hear it and do it? |
| A39573 | How can a man escape choaking Sirs, if he be put and kept under the water? |
| A39573 | How do those men and women that are baptized at years make it appear to those that baptize them, that they have faith and the holy spirit? |
| A39573 | How often shall I adjure you the next time you write to write no more then truth at least in matter of fact? |
| A39573 | How shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? |
| A39573 | How you gather from these places a dipping of the whole man over head and under water? |
| A39573 | How? |
| A39573 | I am sure it was a custome before we were born; how shall our children come to have names, if they be not Christned? |
| A39573 | I answer how many and in how short a time does the man mean? |
| A39573 | I answer, who doubts of that? |
| A39573 | I beseech you Sirs, upon what grounds? |
| A39573 | I demand therefore yet once again, what seed of Abraham your infants are, in that thereupon you undertake( as so) to baptize them? |
| A39573 | I pray Sir ● …, what''s b ● … me of the odd five and a half? |
| A39573 | I reply thus, were not Abraham, Isaac and Iacob their fleshly fathers? |
| A39573 | I say what a bald way of arguing is this? |
| A39573 | I wonder who baptized Iohn the Baptist, that was the greatest administrator that ever was? |
| A39573 | I wonder who those are? |
| A39573 | I would know with these new dippers saith Mr. Cook, whether the parties to be doused and dipped may be baptized in a garment, or no? |
| A39573 | I''le saie it again that you may consider it, for sure you did not consider what you said when you said it, what children of day old? |
| A39573 | Iesus Christ is in you except ye be Reprobates? |
| A39573 | If any should ask this question, what hinders why I may not eat the supper? |
| A39573 | If it be further askt, how faith is bread in them? |
| A39573 | If it be inquired how faith can be said to be in them without their consent? |
| A39573 | If it was so? |
| A39573 | If under the Law, why not under the Gospel? |
| A39573 | If you will have any thing holy with that Ceremonial holiness now, why not every thing that then was so? |
| A39573 | Impertinency? |
| A39573 | Is it not the work of the spirit to infuse faith? |
| A39573 | Is it so Sirs, that the spirit is not tyed to work by means in little children, in the same cases, wherein he works by means in men, and women? |
| A39573 | Is not faith a work as well as repentance, and the rest? |
| A39573 | Is that Scripture think you intended to infants? |
| A39573 | It makes them count the blood of the Covenant an unholy thing, for if it be holy, what need they repeat it? |
| A39573 | It s own name? |
| A39573 | Just so Sirs, and not a jot otherwise? |
| A39573 | Let them gain what they can, whom can they gain? |
| A39573 | Let us search, and try, and turn, was there ever any confession of sin without it? |
| A39573 | Moreover if the Apostles did say on hands at years, though Christ in infancy, what if Christ had baptized those infants in infancy also? |
| A39573 | Mothers, as well as by the hands of the Priests onely? |
| A39573 | Must they not go down to the water( saith he) if they would use it? |
| A39573 | No Sirs? |
| A39573 | No Sirs? |
| A39573 | No certainly, And why not? |
| A39573 | No? |
| A39573 | No? |
| A39573 | Nothing more ordinary then to have words out of their prime signification? |
| A39573 | Now if it be the sincerity that is looked after, who knoweth what day or year the child began tobe sincere in his profession? |
| A39573 | O ye house of Levi is the spirit of the Lord thus streitned? |
| A39573 | Quis? |
| A39573 | Reason say you? |
| A39573 | Rivers, Iordan, Enon, many waters, and why? |
| A39573 | Secondly all male servants upon the masters single faith, as well as male cchildren on the fathers? |
| A39573 | Secondly be kept under water to signifie his burial? |
| A39573 | Secondly kept under water to signify his burial? |
| A39573 | Secondly why do you, or how can you sign them as heirs of the Gospel promise so simply upon that account only? |
| A39573 | Secondly( Risum teneatis amici?) |
| A39573 | Secondly, Si aliqualitèr, quarè non aequalitèr? |
| A39573 | Secondly, are you sure they were infants of believers of whom Christ saies, whoever offends one of these little ones that believe in me? |
| A39573 | Secondly, do you know so precisely which infants are Elect, and which Reprobate, as to take upon you to distinguish them by baptism? |
| A39573 | Secondly, how doth it appear at all that godly and believing parents children then had faith more usually then children of ungodly parents? |
| A39573 | Secondly, how far forth do they make it appear to you? |
| A39573 | Secondly, if( as to the nature, matter and essential form or being of the Rites themselves) we ask the question quid? |
| A39573 | Secondly, let me ask you, is Gods witness, Gods testimony true, or is it false? |
| A39573 | Secondly, what are these littles to the lump? |
| A39573 | Secondly, when had they it begotten in them? |
| A39573 | Secondly, whereas t is askt what persons are to say or do,( at the administration of laying hands) that they may be found faithful in that point? |
| A39573 | Seventhly, if( as to the account and warrant) it be demanded Cur? |
| A39573 | Si aliquando quare non nunc? |
| A39573 | Sirs where is the blessedness you speak of? |
| A39573 | Sirs, let me ask you two questions, first are you sure these are infants indeed? |
| A39573 | Sirs, what children of the Jews had faith in their infancy witnessed by Circumcision, were they the children of the believing or unbelieving Jews? |
| A39573 | Sirs, what pretty intricate blind bo- beep Divinity is this of yours? |
| A39573 | Sixthly, if, as to the administrator, it be ask quibus auxiliis? |
| A39573 | Some who are those I trow? |
| A39573 | That the Covenant of grace is for substance not two but in all ages one and the same within it self who denies? |
| A39573 | There may he washings though, and dippings too, but what needs such a totall dipping as you use? |
| A39573 | Therefore Sirs, how hath Satan bewitched you that you can not believe and obey the truth? |
| A39573 | They lose it again when they come to more years, else why are they taught the element of faith? |
| A39573 | Thirdly if, as to the place where, we ask the question ubi? |
| A39573 | Thirdly, is it any more evident to you that all believers infants are taught of God, then t is that unbelievers infants are taught by him? |
| A39573 | Thirdly, on the eighth day onely, and neither sooner nor later, nor one day before it nor behind it? |
| A39573 | Thirdly, was Circumcision Gods witness, yea Gods seal to assure men of thus much, that those children to whom it was set had faith? |
| A39573 | Thirdly, what judgement do you passe upon believers infants to be the subjects of baptism, rather then other infants? |
| A39573 | This is aliud a nogate; a plain absurd aberration from the question, which is not whether it be a sin ordinarily to dip naked or no? |
| A39573 | To those without? |
| A39573 | To which I reply, saith he, where is your Scripture for that? |
| A39573 | Totally drowned? |
| A39573 | Unless they be baptized in their infancy? |
| A39573 | Was not that of Paul spoken of men onely at years? |
| A39573 | Well then they were broken off: but why? |
| A39573 | Well what if it was so in the primitive times, that total dipping was the custome, must it therefore needs be so now? |
| A39573 | What Infants of a day old? |
| A39573 | What Sirs is the Gospel, the plain simple gospel, such a maeander as this? |
| A39573 | What a strange conceit is this? |
| A39573 | What again? |
| A39573 | What again? |
| A39573 | What again? |
| A39573 | What an egregious untruth is there? |
| A39573 | What force therefore is in this Argument to conclude against the truth of our way? |
| A39573 | What frivolous quibling is all this? |
| A39573 | What is that Analogy and Agreement which is between the sign and the thing signifyed in baptism? |
| A39573 | What is the result of this discourse, to forbid all disputation with HHHim? |
| A39573 | What is this to the present question and position concerning no more inclinablenesse to holy actions in children of Christians, then of insidels? |
| A39573 | What pretty Checker work is there in your judgements about one and the same thing? |
| A39573 | What prety Gim- cracks are here? |
| A39573 | What quarrels and jarres between the Fryers of several orders? |
| A39573 | What saith he if we could not prove that the English Church was before Luther, Must it needs follow that the doctrine we hold is untrue? |
| A39573 | What still Sirs? |
| A39573 | What then? |
| A39573 | Where in the Cherub that covereth? |
| A39573 | Where should this bath be prepared? |
| A39573 | Where was your Church before Luther? |
| A39573 | Whether infants were the true subject? |
| A39573 | Whether it be just to load them that still stick to the truth, with the blame of all their blasphemies that go off from it? |
| A39573 | Whether sprinkling were the true manner of baptizing? |
| A39573 | Whether their profession, since it is possible they may lie, can make it appear infallibly? |
| A39573 | Which of all these three are to be found in your aspersion? |
| A39573 | Who sees not the weaknesse, the wretchednesse of this consequence? |
| A39573 | Why then should not children under the Gospel receive baptism, which the Adversaries confess to be the Seal of the Gospel- Covenant? |
| A39573 | Yea Sirs? |
| A39573 | Yea Sirs? |
| A39573 | Yea say you so? |
| A39573 | Yea surely Sirs, why not? |
| A39573 | above all men, who so strenuously contends that by the word Kingdoms of this world is meant not in part only, but the whole kingdom? |
| A39573 | all the dying infants of unbelievers? |
| A39573 | all your skill in Physiogmony can never find it: or can you argue ad negationem habitus, to no holiness in an infidels infant more then in anothers? |
| A39573 | and I said what shall I do Lord? |
| A39573 | and also to what purpose did she perform it? |
| A39573 | and are not soules which are all equall in their creation the subject of it? |
| A39573 | and as ordinarily believers infants( when they come to years I mean) prove reprobates? |
| A39573 | and doth not that imply that else he might not? |
| A39573 | and doth not this evince as much for women? |
| A39573 | and how can they be sent to preach to infants that understand not what is said? |
| A39573 | and how can they hear without a preacher? |
| A39573 | and how can they preach except they be sent? |
| A39573 | and how hear without a Preacher? |
| A39573 | and how much more the losse of Christ himself? |
| A39573 | and how much more then ours? |
| A39573 | and if no analogie why are we said sacramentally in baptism to be buried, and raised? |
| A39573 | and if not, why not be satisfied that it was preacht by some at least of Christs Apostles to all baptized believers? |
| A39573 | and if so, then must not this unbelieving parent being a Roo ● …, have the same kind of holiness the child hath? |
| A39573 | and if so, why he blames us more then himself, that, do what we can, so many run to ruin? |
| A39573 | and is it the consequent that the children of believing parents have it now? |
| A39573 | and is not swilling under water a more effectuall way of washing and clensing then sprinkling? |
| A39573 | and is that seal of his firm to, i. e, so sure that it can not fail? |
| A39573 | and so upwards till we come thither, are you able if we ask you who sprinkled you? |
| A39573 | and such judgement is as due to one of these as to the other? |
| A39573 | and such like how little do these look each like the other? |
| A39573 | and that a similitude of Christs death, burial and rising again, to be represented by dipping in water, is signified here? |
| A39573 | and though remote ones, yet were they not their true fathers after the flesh still as much as ever? |
| A39573 | and to the company at Cornelius''s house, and Ananias in his to Paul, when he quaeried what he should do? |
| A39573 | and what need at all that the Committees be so cumbered with the care of such affairs? |
| A39573 | and whether because they all desired to go to heaven, therefore they were at heaven? |
| A39573 | and who hath brought up these? |
| A39573 | and who him? |
| A39573 | and who him? |
| A39573 | and who him? |
| A39573 | and who him? |
| A39573 | and who him? |
| A39573 | and who him? |
| A39573 | and who him? |
| A39573 | and who ordained those that ordained you? |
| A39573 | and who them? |
| A39573 | and who them? |
| A39573 | and who them? |
| A39573 | and why not male servants though unbelieving Moores, Turks or Pagans if of believing masters? |
| A39573 | and why should not this administration of the covenant in outward ordinances be after the manner of that of old? |
| A39573 | and why then? |
| A39573 | and yet do these include and comprize infants as much as men at years? |
| A39573 | and you Presbyterians where was your Church before Calvin? |
| A39573 | are infants of a day old capable of Baptism, that can not so much as be instructed in principles much less be begotten to the true Religion? |
| A39573 | are not repentance from dead works, and belief towards God with all the heart, and confession of sins, and calling on God such kind of matters? |
| A39573 | are not these priviledges belonging to men, why then( if yours and Mr Marshalls assertion be true) not to infants as well as men? |
| A39573 | are the seed of true believers true converts mostly by birth? |
| A39573 | are these your doings? |
| A39573 | are they not among the number of souls capable to eat, every one pro suo modulo, according to the measure of his eating and digestion? |
| A39573 | are they not mercies, administrations, merciful administrations of God, extended to all nations? |
| A39573 | are they shut out of the kingdom of heaven? |
| A39573 | are we more tied to follow his example in that, then in the dispensation of laying on of hands? |
| A39573 | are we wiser then our forefathers? |
| A39573 | are you able to assign who began our way of baptism first of all in the world, unlesse you begin as high as Iohn the baptist? |
| A39573 | are you not then condemned out of your own mouths to perpetual abhorring? |
| A39573 | are your Pastors also such Idol shepheards, as it may be supposed now and then will leave their flocks for any other imployment? |
| A39573 | baptism for the Hot Countryes; and Rantism for the Cold? |
| A39573 | baptism, may stand in some proportion to its signatum, as well as the other i. e. circumcision? |
| A39573 | because he had told them above that there should come one, that should delude many with lyes? |
| A39573 | because the kingdomes of this world are, or else shall be the kindomes of God and Christ? |
| A39573 | behold I was left alone, these where have they been? |
| A39573 | besides what more to believers than unbelievers infants? |
| A39573 | both branded for reprobates? |
| A39573 | both which men direct their different doctrines to Mr. Tombes in order to his direction: but how shall that man be resolved? |
| A39573 | but if they had none in infancy, then how can you deny but that they had none? |
| A39573 | but may they thereupon be called disciples, and be baptized? |
| A39573 | but no marvel if the Cat winckt, when both her eyes were out? |
| A39573 | but what of that? |
| A39573 | but what then? |
| A39573 | but whether Rome be that universal Church or no that can not erre? |
| A39573 | but whether we ordinarily use that kind of dipping? |
| A39573 | by believing: nay the spiritual seed: quid ni? |
| A39573 | by fleshly descent? |
| A39573 | by whose hands these ordinances are to be administred? |
| A39573 | can some scores of well meaning Priests give the denomination of an holy PPriesthood, godly Ministry to those legions of them that lie in wickednesse? |
| A39573 | could that water that toucht his legs while he waded, be more mischievous to him, then the water that washed the blood of his stripes? |
| A39573 | creed that God hath promised to be merciful to Godly mens seed in general, in contradistinction to the seed of the wicked? |
| A39573 | cur? |
| A39573 | denies it, with whom how often is it exprest that baptism is the first visible entrance into it? |
| A39573 | did he build them upon one part of the foundation, and not on the other part? |
| A39573 | did he constitute them partly upon it, and partly beside it? |
| A39573 | did he no more then sprinkle, or pour a few drops of water on him? |
| A39573 | did not some of you Masters, Provosts, Fellowes of Colledges and such like? |
| A39573 | did not ye O Presbyterians? |
| A39573 | did you press them to death i th''Press, or lose them i th''Ashes, whetein you had a design to have smothered it all? |
| A39573 | do we not in common loquution say the same, while we say sprinkled in a font, or in a Bason? |
| A39573 | do you believe in God the Father, and Christ& c. and will you be baptized in this faith? |
| A39573 | dost thou forsake tho divel? |
| A39573 | doth it prove baptism to be the cause of that grosness that often followes, when a person is baptized? |
| A39573 | doth our denying baptism to an infant before he dies send him to hell sooner then your delaying it till he be dead? |
| A39573 | doth that phrase( I say) they which be of faith signifie believers infants? |
| A39573 | drowning, racking, fleaing, stabbing, tearing with hot pincers, and( to use his own phrase) the severest punishments they could devise? |
| A39573 | first I wonder how they came by it, sith the word saies faith comes by hearing, and how can there be believing on him of whom they have not heard? |
| A39573 | for 42. months, or a 1260 years, as theirs was for 70 years? |
| A39573 | for either he was baptized surely, or else he was not, if he was ever baptized at all, who baptized him? |
| A39573 | for how does he speak, and that out of these Scriptures we are upon, that we ought thus to be baptized? |
| A39573 | for none denies but that it hath, but whether the Pope be at all that head? |
| A39573 | for the living to the dead? |
| A39573 | for what else can they pretend? |
| A39573 | for when he queries who can? |
| A39573 | from the Gospel to a law long since ended? |
| A39573 | from the living to the dead? |
| A39573 | from the substance to the shadow? |
| A39573 | from the truth to the type? |
| A39573 | have any of the Rulers of the Pharisees believed on him? |
| A39573 | have not you the CCClergy? |
| A39573 | he to infants, and they onely to persons past infancy? |
| A39573 | how can Turks and Pagans infants be saved? |
| A39573 | how can they be saved if they die unchristned? |
| A39573 | how crookedly close do you keep to your own coppy? |
| A39573 | how different are they? |
| A39573 | how else could they have known it? |
| A39573 | how far do they differ? |
| A39573 | how far do you fall short of the Jewes in this also? |
| A39573 | how farre is he from it as now he stands, whilst he saies plainly he will have no baptism? |
| A39573 | how greatly doth your manner of baptism differ from it? |
| A39573 | how hear without a preacher? |
| A39573 | how is it possible that it should not signifie washing so long as it signifies dipping, dipping being no other then a kind of washing? |
| A39573 | how miserably do you your selves misse of hitting right with it here too? |
| A39573 | how pretily have you put these terms[ practised by the Church of God] into the very question, and that too as it stands stated beeween us? |
| A39573 | how rhe bells began to play their parts against our preaching, when you had done, by the appointment of who knows not whom? |
| A39573 | how so? |
| A39573 | how then came it to pass that the most of the Iews and their children sucessively in all generations had not faith when they came to years? |
| A39573 | how then dare you aver so peremptorily, so universally that every administration that extendeth to all nations, belongeth to infants as well as men? |
| A39573 | how those men and women whom I had baptized did make it appear that they had faith, and the holy spirit? |
| A39573 | how will not a poor, marred, mocked, misreputed Saviour, and gospel in any wise down with them? |
| A39573 | how will you ever be able to make that good? |
| A39573 | i. e. the supper as well as baptism? |
| A39573 | i. e. to ungodly mens children as well as to those of godly parents? |
| A39573 | if no exemption from a hotter service, why from a colder for the lifes sake? |
| A39573 | if not where is then the analogie? |
| A39573 | if so, how is it that when they are grown, the children of unbelievers have holiness very often, when as oft the other prove wicked, and have not? |
| A39573 | if so, why not to repentance, and self denial also? |
| A39573 | if unholy, how do they prophane it? |
| A39573 | if unholy, in so saying oh how do you prophane it? |
| A39573 | if you will needs Iudaize at all, why not in all as well as the Pope? |
| A39573 | if you will needs utter falsehood in matter of Doctrine? |
| A39573 | in as much as there s that required in order to baptisme which infants can no more do, then they can do what''s required to the supper? |
| A39573 | in the womb? |
| A39573 | infallibly? |
| A39573 | is Christ thus divided? |
| A39573 | is he not as holy as the child is, and so as capable of being baptized, and in covenant thereby? |
| A39573 | is it not very fit therefore that they should still be used, the Church being yet under age? |
| A39573 | is not innocency in the whole state of infants, even in unbelievers infants as much to the full as in the other? |
| A39573 | is not the story of Naamans washing himself seven times in Iordan full enough to our use, because there is no mention of his putting off and on? |
| A39573 | is their any worldly imployment to which the Pastors office must give way so to as to cease for its sake, when it comes in place? |
| A39573 | is there any more Specimen or shew of holiness in them then in these? |
| A39573 | is there any promise of God, whereby he stands ingaged to infuse holiness into these infants in infancy, when he will not infuse it into the other? |
| A39573 | is there any such manglements as these to be found there? |
| A39573 | little ones literally taken in the sixth? |
| A39573 | meani ● … g trow, that therfore it doth not go before it? |
| A39573 | men of strife and contention to the whole earth? |
| A39573 | must not all people search it? |
| A39573 | no: who doub ● … s of that? |
| A39573 | not one scruple? |
| A39573 | now therefore Quid rides? |
| A39573 | or I would I knew what you mean by constitution? |
| A39573 | or any other part*? |
| A39573 | or are all infants of unbelievers reprobate, so that you may accordingly denominate them for such by whole sale as you do? |
| A39573 | or believing infants? |
| A39573 | or but probably? |
| A39573 | or have you not rather taken it for granted from me whether I will, or no? |
| A39573 | or if after birth, on what day on the 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, or 8th? |
| A39573 | or if there were no more then this half an hours reading, how is it you give so large an Account of it here? |
| A39573 | or if they can not, can not your Churches see to them a little what they lack? |
| A39573 | or in baptism ask, how the baptizer must handle the person baptized, and where he must take hold on him, when he dips him? |
| A39573 | or in token of his resurrection to a new life? |
| A39573 | or is aspersion an action as answerable to a burial and resurrection, and painting it out as lively as submersion and emersion do? |
| A39573 | or may the spirit blow no where, but where thou listest? |
| A39573 | or must a man bring you another, and that a better kind of faith to the one, than he had need care for toward the other? |
| A39573 | or must they search and find no more truth in it then thou findest? |
| A39573 | or not? |
| A39573 | or rather by who knows not whom? |
| A39573 | or shall the doctrine of Rome be ever the truer because of Antiquitie only? |
| A39573 | or that of certainty? |
| A39573 | or the Major part of it? |
| A39573 | or those thousands Peter promised the holy spirit to, were they all reprobates, because they yet had it not, when he spake to them? |
| A39573 | or to prove believe ● … s infants to have it exclusively of the infants of unbelievers? |
| A39573 | or wast thou set to keep people out from it under lock and key? |
| A39573 | or what is it you would have? |
| A39573 | or whether Christ hath not more water baptismes then one? |
| A39573 | or whether dipping in Rivers be so necessary to baptism, that none are accounted baptized, but those that are dipped after such a manner? |
| A39573 | qualis? |
| A39573 | quando? |
| A39573 | quibus auxiliis? |
| A39573 | quid? |
| A39573 | return this answer, if thou believest with all thy heart thou mayest? |
| A39573 | secondly, whether they ever had it if you ask whether they ever had any? |
| A39573 | shall the Parliament and their Committees never have their liberty to attend onely, and perfectly the true liberties of the subject? |
| A39573 | shall we impute that fault to his being baptized? |
| A39573 | shall we think that Peter taught the principles of the doctrine of Christ, all which he was to lay as one foundation among them, by the halves? |
| A39573 | shall we think that all Christs ministers descend lineally from the loines of Antichrist? |
| A39573 | shall we think that so many learned Orthodox divines would practise it if it were not the truth? |
| A39573 | shall we( saith he, for so his sense is) continue in sin, i. e. we that are dead to it, and have been all baptized into Christ in token of it? |
| A39573 | sith the cause of all such sacramental locution is because the sacraments are( as Austin saies) pictures of the things signified in them? |
| A39573 | so that by the same Reason that we deny one of these to be in them, it may be therefore denied that they have the other? |
| A39573 | some people believe therefore all must be baptized, Secondly, had the Jews children faith? |
| A39573 | tells us that some branches only were broken off, therfore not infants, It is true all were not broken off, and why? |
| A39573 | that have bought it for money? |
| A39573 | that have have gotten it by brawling in the law? |
| A39573 | that is strange: what parts of Christendome have you lived, or do you live in? |
| A39573 | that is worse then all the rest: but I wonder what is if that be not the prime? |
| A39573 | that it is a miracle to be dipped and not destroyed, then what a strange man is he to say so? |
| A39573 | that of charity? |
| A39573 | that there is now no iniquity at all? |
| A39573 | that they were all the children of God by faith in Christ: and how doth he prove it that they were so? |
| A39573 | that words are oft used out of their prime significations?) |
| A39573 | the Apostles themselves? |
| A39573 | the Swine ran into the sea, were they not then in it? |
| A39573 | the duty and ordinance of baptism? |
| A39573 | the visible church of Christ or the visible kingdome of the devil believers infants are visibly in before baptism? |
| A39573 | the way of faith? |
| A39573 | then Sirs why do you not keep close to your command, and by Analogy baptize precisely on the eighth day, but on any other as you see good? |
| A39573 | then pray how doth the promise of the Gospel appear to belong one jo ● … more to believers children, then to unbelievers? |
| A39573 | therefore is it not rather think you a Civil and Matrimonial then an Ecclesiastical,& faederall sanctity? |
| A39573 | therefore why should we not sorrow as those without hope? |
| A39573 | they are the children of believers? |
| A39573 | they went down both of them unto the water, both Philip and the Eunuch? |
| A39573 | till they visibly appear to have them, yet under the Law they were in covenant, and inchurched for all that and why? |
| A39573 | to come out of Babilon, and be separate? |
| A39573 | to testifie to the world that they had faith? |
| A39573 | to the parents upon their own faith, to the children upon the parents faith? |

| A39573 | why taught in order to the receiving it? |
| A39573 | why then do you say sometimes again, that from a holiness which is in both they are co- contributers of holiness to the Infant? |
