A20920But now of the third thing what shal I say?
A20920But where fore with mee brethren, who doe neither heare these accusations of yours; neither if I should heare them, would I receive them rashly?
A20920But why then did you not douchsafe to give vs any knowledg therof?
A20920Contrariwise whom would it not hurt?
A20920Did you thinck that* he which is first in his owne cause is iust?

A20920If Christ be God let vs follow him: but if the pope be God/ what shall wee say?
A20920If it be so/ why then wryte you/ and yet shew not the errours?
A20920If so why thē wryting these thinges/ do you not professe it?
A20920If this against the shadow and type how much more against the substance and body it self?
A20920Is it because your self beleeu this faith to be trew- sound groūded on the word of God and agreable thervnto?
A20920Is it to reforme them?
A20920Is that their Englysh Masse the trewe and p spirituall worship of God according to his owne wil?
A20920Is this such an hainous and capitall fault with you?
A20920It is most manifest, that they against whom yee deale, wil be more prouoked “ by this grieuous sting If as an examiner, by what right can I doe it?

A20920Who( we pray you) are esteemed to be of better or sounder judgment?
A20920Whome doth it more concerne to take knowledg/ of the truth and errours in religion?
A20920Why are yee not quiet being without the daunger of any hurt?
A20920Why do you dissemble it?
A20920Why doe yee not beare it( if there be yet any) in silence and hope, rather then to mooue that which is in rest?
A20920Why doe yee not rather passe ouer the iniury that is past?

A20920Will you be ready to help them who erre( as you think) in the manner and circumstāces?
A20920Ye will say thē, who shall bee?
A20920Yea tell vs( we pray you) what you think of that godly and learned Mr. Beza his pryvate Confession of fayth lately publyshed?
A20920Yet now when you touch not the doctrine it self/ what is it that you wryte in this behalf?
A20920You might have been silent as I admonished you by my letters, and will you not let vs be so?

A0109911.?
A0109920.: But how vnfit a man is Iean delescluse for such a purpose?
A01099Among all their Prophets is there any which in the exercise of prophecy have so often bene corrected for errour as this man?
A01099And is there any god ● ine ● without reformation?
A01099And what can he conclude hence?
A01099And who will say, that all these sinnes were to be punished with death by the magistrate?
A01099And will any man of wisedome commit vnto the protection and and keeping of theeves the least part of his worldly goods?
A01099Brightmā his booke, how absurd& senselesse is it?
A01099But what meanes he by this?
A01099Can any vnlawfull minister administer lawfully the seales of Gods covenant vnto dogges and swyne purely and sincerely?
A01099Can not the people of God be holy& sanctifyed vnlesse they separate from the churches as the Brownistes doe?
A01099Do not all the Brownistes generally know and consider how prone this man is to runne into errour and to go astray out of the way before many others?
A01099Do they not seek one an others blood in making one an other blasphemers?
A01099Doth it now follow that Israel in the dayes of David was in no better estate then in the dayes of Iehoahaz?
A01099Doth this prove that the church of England is therfore to be separated from?
A01099Fourthly, for their zeale of religion where is it?
A01099HE demandes still in the same place& sayth; Is it possible that holynes and vnholynes can raigne togather?
A01099HE yet demandes againe& saith, Is there any communion betweene Christe and Anti- christe?
A01099Hath he and his flock a speciall God of his owne more then other churches of Christe?
A01099How blinde is Delescluse that makes this question so far from the purpose?
A01099How long halt ye betweene two opinions?
A01099Is there any Christian that is not reformed?
A01099May it be observed hence that the estate of Israel was simply worse then those heathens, or that Israel was to be separated from rather then they?
A01099May we not here see the truth of the wise mans saving;* A poore man if he oppresse the poore is like a raging raine that leaveth no foode?
A01099No, none wilde so vnwise for every one ● ndweth that they will but make a pray of them and spoile and rob them?
A01099Secondly is not the angell of the separation both a persequ ● tour of the brethren and a deceyver or the prince?
A01099Secondly, what if the reformed churches may be ashamed of the corruptions& 〈 ◊ 〉 in the church of England?
A01099Thirdly, for their commendable loyalty and faithfulnes vnto their prince and 〈 ◊ 〉, how doth it appeare?
A01099VVere is their atchievement registred among these cheefe instruments of the Lord?
A01099VVhat can he answer to these thinges?
A01099VVhat sincerity is there in the course of these men that see one an others daubing& yet wink at the same?
A01099VVhat though they were covetous& ambitious given to the love of riches& honors& so became lukewarme?
A01099VVhence he inferreth with an exclamation, Marvelous, and is he still for all this the angell of the Church in Mr. Brightmans iudgement?
A01099VVhy did he never yet cleare himself of this evill?
A01099VVhy then may not Mr. B. call those holy& reformed whom Delescluse doth call godly and Christian?
A01099and Mr. Clifton?
A01099and yet hold his peace?
A01099betweene Idolles and the true God?
A01099betweene light and darknes?
A01099by what good token or argument can be demonstrate the 〈 ◊ 〉?
A01099do they not herein take one another by the throate with their vnpitifull handes?
A01099doth it not vanish into the smoke of contention?
A01099hath he not already hasted& posted so fast on that he hath forgot his reckoning?
A01099have bene?
A01099his booke, seing he the same Iean Delescluse had also a hand in the printing of it heretofore?
A01099his booke?
A01099his speeches?
A01099how vaine& foolish is this?
A01099or can they not give glory vnto God without their separation?
A01099shall any administer purely who is not lawfully called therevnto as Aaron was?
A01099shall their ignorant practise establish them& iustify their estate?
A01099shall this be a iust cause of separation from the church?
A01099shall those that are iudged vnworthy to heare the worde, be allowed for prophets to preach the word?
A01099to partake with Mr. Robinsons errours by printing his booke?
A01099what meanes he by this speech of his God, in saying, the glory of my God?
A01099where vpon Delescluse infereth in these wordes: And what is this?
A01099which Mr. Brighman noteth, how doth Delescluse prove from thence, that separation must reedes follow?
A01099why doth not I. Delescluse call vpon his fellow in like manner?
A01099why is he not afraid of partaking with the sinnes of those gamesters whose handes have handled the cardes that were the worke of his hādes?
A01099why might he not also make idoles or images& afterwardes cleare himself frō partaking with the sinne of Idolatours by testifying against them?
A01099will this prove that Mr. Brightman taught corruptly when he sayd that we ought not to separate frō the church of England?
A13202& if they must doe this by authoritie from God: is not the whol flock bound to be taught ruled& directed by them in the Lord?
A1320212. and the other places cited,& gather such a doctrine from them?
A132022, had they al one particular office?
A13202Ainsworth, Henry, 1571- 1622?
A13202Ainsworth, Henry, 1571- 1622?
A13202And are these fit scriptures to prove Officers of one sort?
A13202And how often throughout the scriptures is bowing and falling down joyned with worship?
A13202And if God so bare with the Iewes hardnes of old: what mouth can blame him for bearing with the weaknes both of Iewes and Gentiles here?
A13202And if any one Christian in private had sent him the like, had it not been a sacrifice also?
A13202And if the closing of the book were such a mysterie: what was the taking and opening of the book, nothing?
A13202And if the holy Ghost have set Elders and shepherds over the whole flock: can any man doubt, but they must teach rule and direct the whol?
A13202And if they understood not Greek, is it likely that Paul would have written his Epistle to the Romans in Greek, as he did?
A13202And may one person now perform al actions?
A13202And of what nature may we think, was that exercise performed by Christ and the Doctors in the temple?
A13202And was he now setled in his course?
A13202And who can comfortably read the scriptures, if that be the ministerie of the letter, and so death?
A13202Are we not aswell bound to the scriptures in admonishing, as in exhorting and must not the same spirit give life vnto both?
A13202But a* seduced hart hath deceived this man, that he can not deliver his sowl, nor say, Js there not a lye in my right hand?
A13202But had he learned the Apostles word, † who is sufficient for these things?
A13202But have they not then the teachers office?
A13202But how then shal some of the Elders be rulers onely?
A13202But what is this to the purpose?
A13202But whereunto leadeth this cavil?
A13202Can any reasonable man now think, that this was within the tabernacle, which was so low& little a place?
A13202Could they be converted vvithout the vvord of the covenant?
A13202Did Paul vvhen he* charged that his Epistle should be read unto al the brethren the saints, mean they should read and offer it unto God?
A13202Did they look on a book when they kindled fyre on the altar, or cast salt on the sacrifice?
A13202For if the Apostles those excellent master builders, had need of supply, for want of sufficiencie; how much more need have wee weaklings?
A13202For shall we have legall ceremonies,( the † shadow of things to come, whose body is in Christ,) to be used as lawful ecclesiasticall actions?
A13202For, did the matter of their worship, the beasts, incense, oil,& c. proceed out of the book?
A13202Had these two therfore one office?
A13202Hath it al likelihood that such as were officers of all the Churches in generall, should be intitled Angels of particular Churches?
A13202Hath not this as good a colour against the audible voice, as the other against the visible writing?
A13202Have they authoritie to preach or govern, which have not the gifts of preaching or government?
A13202How is it then, that this man maketh the matter and form of Gods worship in Israel, to consist in such carnall things?
A13202How then could the litteral translation& reading therof, be the ministerie or covenant of grace?
A13202How then dooth he reason against us in vain, seing in his arguments there † remayns but leasing?
A13202If M. Smyth should translate Paules Epistles, or Iohns Revelation; should we esteeme them M. Smyths epistles or visions?
A13202If neither the translated bible nor the original be the best: where then is the word that is best to be read or uttered to the people?
A13202If this be so, how ended Christ the ceremonie of book- worship, where none was to end?
A13202If this be so, how knowes this accuser, that they infinitely corrupted their translation?
A13202Is it mine error to hold that Christ hath ordeyned a Presbyterie in everie Church?
A13202Is not the praysing of God, a part of his worship?
A13202Is there no obedience or submission, thinks he, but unto Lords?
A13202Is this a fit answer to casshier the government of the Elders?
A13202No translated bible may be read in Gods worship, for God may minister a better: what then?
A13202Of them, I grant; for they are divers: but is it of him, that is of one and the same officer?
A13202Or is it mine error to hold, that this Presbyterie is to teach and rule the Church by Christs owne words& lawes?
A13202Or, did it kil them before the tyme?
A13202Seing then neyther expresly nor implicitly the Reader can see the Differences: what are they but delusions?
A13202Shal man limit the holy Ghost, to doe no more then he needeth?
A13202This being so, how dooth Pauls counsel( Trie al things& c.) make against translations?
A13202Were not the voices of the Prophets in Israel, a manifestation of the spirits intent?
A13202What Lucian could have written more reprochfully& slanderously of the holy scriptures?
A13202What, had not they the † written word of God, for a ground of their religious actions, as well as we have the “ written word?
A13202Where learned the man this logik?
A13202Wherin,( to shew how near he is allyed to those which say,* who is like unto the Beast, who is able to warr with him?)
A13202Who denyes it?
A13202Who ever said before, that men read translations and offred them to God?
A13202Who now can say that the hearers had or used no books in the synagogues?
A13202Wil he conclude hereupon, that an Apostle and a Pastor properly so called, is all one office?
A13202Would any man think that such bitter& sweet waters could come out of one fountain, as have flowed here?
A13202Yet Hebrue copies might goe abroad, notwithstanding the danger of profanation, how much more the Greek?
A13202Yet reading he granteth, but it must be of an other nature: and what is that trow we?
A13202Yet were it translated work, what would it help him?
A13202a commaundement to read the law in the synagogues?
A13202and how wil this agree with his grounds of Anabaptisme?
A13202any reason, why diaconia should so signifie here?
A13202but are there not also as many kind of workers?
A13202had not they* the good spirit of God to instruct them, as we have?
A13202had they not † praying prophesying, singing& c. by the spirit, as we?
A13202hereupon conclude, therfore al pastors have the same office with the Evangelists?
A13202if not, how followeth this halting inference?
A13202is ther any word or title that intimateth this?
A13202must they needs bestow it for the behoof of strangers, as was Iudas hire?
A13202or wil he have his disciples to try their religion by such crooked instruments?
A13202seeing he never saw their work, which long synce is lost?
A13202shal I bring the original bible& look on that, exspecting what interpretation God wil give me to speak: seeing I may not read?
A13202thinketh the Elders to be Lords over the particular members?
A13202to this impietie?
A13202was it none of Gods worship?
A13202what if all can not be expressed in the translation, shall we therefore have none in the Church?
A13202who sayth they must yeeld to every thing the Elders lyst?
A29432Also though this were yeelded, yet how will they prove that the Scribes and Pharisees were of any other Tribe then of Levi?

A69195And did not every Minister when he was made a Minister, binde him selfe by a solemne vowe to preache the worde?
A69195And how then cometh it to passe( ceremonies having hitherto ben vpheld by your Lordlines) that your Lordlines should not now stande but by ceremonies?
A69195And if God did never ordeine such signes; then we demand, what authoritie man hath to ordeine such signes?
A69195And what, if we saide fourthly, in token?
A69195And whether shee also be not from the earth, and of this world?
A69195And whetherye, and they bee not all sonnes vnto one Father, and servants vnto one Lord?
A69195And who is able, to rayse thē vp though for a tyme they be downe?
A69195And yet many such have you disquieted?
A69195But wee beseech your Lordships to informe vs rightly out of holy Writt, whether this your answere in the sight of the Lord, be vpright, yea or no?
A69195Can be sayd, not to doe so, and lykwise to the brydgrome, as the mynions of the whore, doe to their Idole?
A69195For how should a man doe evill that good may come thereby, when as the Scripture teacheth vs, that his damnation is iust, that so doeth?
A69195For how should their originall bee of ancient integritie, when they had beginning, not from the will of God, but from the witt of man?
A69195For how should those things be done decently and orderly in the Church for the which the Church hath no warrant, that the same should be done at all?
A69195For is it not?
A69195For to the poynt in question, what resolution is that?
A69195For who shall be Iudge of Evangelicall decencie and order, if not the Church and Christian Magistrate alone?
A69195Nay, what a thinge is this?
A69195Nay, which is more, What a thing is this?
A69195No ceremonie, no Bishop: no Bishop, no King?
A69195Or was it not possible for your Synod, to have vsed their iudgement, but to the perill of the soules of their brethren?
A69195See, see, what a dalliance is this in a matter of so high a qualitie, and touching the dignitie,& preheminence of so excellent a person?
A69195That is true indeed( say wee) if a Minister by the vse of such a garment should not sinne?
A69195We demand( we say) whether these three graces, be not all,& every of them, inward, invisible and spirituall graces, yea or no?
A69195Well bee it so?
A69195What Sirs?
A69195What fellowship hath righteousnes with vnrighteousnes?
A69195What?
A69195What?
A69195What?
A69195When were any ministers by publike authoritie, called, as it were, into open field, to stand vpon arguments and weight of reason?
A69195Whether God wil be honored, according to mans fantasie, or rather doth not detest, whatsoever is not grounded vpon his worde?
A69195Whether any thing can be acceptable in the sight of God, which he never required at our handes?
A69195Whether the beautie of this great whore stand not in outwarde pompe of apparell, and outward shewes, after the manner of a strumpett?
A69195Whether this outward pompe of apparell and shewes of impudency consist not partly in Copes, Surplices, Crosses, and such like trashe?
A69195Whē was it appointed by publike authoritie, that any ministers should answere, and that Archbishops& Bishops should oppose?
A69195Why then, by your Lordships favour, we demand, vnto whom this reverence is yealded, and vnto what thing this conformitie is proportioned?
A69195Why then, by your Lordships favour, wee demaund, whether the church doe serve God, or doe but please her selfe, in that her cōmandment?
A69195Why, Sirs?
A69195Yea be it so, yet if the fashion and workmanship of their old, be the true paterns of our new, how shall not ours be like vnto theirs?
A69195and a shaven chinne for an Archdeacon?
A69195and men very obedient( this one thing excepted) to all authoritie?
A69195and peaceable among their neighbours?
A69195and what agreement hath the temple of God, with Idolls?
A69195and without which necessary and propheticall garment, it was not lawfull for them to prophesie?
A69195as if you should have layde the whole blame vpon the King, and have spoken thus: No ceremonious King, no ceremonious Bishop?
A69195because of the commandement?
A69195but to put occasions of falling and of stumbling, before their brethren?
A69195can be said to have no concord with beliall?
A69195can bee saide, not to take vpon her hande, vpon her forehead, or vpon her backe, the marke of the beast?
A69195did ever any Preacher( we praye you) when hee was made a Minister, bind him selfe by a solemne vowe to weare a ministeriall garment?
A69195do you approve of a white lynen table- cloth to cover the communion table, and do you disallow a white lynen Surplice?
A69195for by what arte can you frame this your proposition vpon the Apostles foundation?
A69195men of good reputation for learning?
A69195no agreement with an Idoll?
A69195no parte with an infidell?
A69195not from the Well of life, but from the pitt of death?
A69195of honest conversation?
A69195or not to doe so, and lykewise, to God, as the papists doe to the devill?
A69195or what coherence hath your proposition with this rule?
A69195or what greater reverence is there required by the sheepe, then is to be performed by the sheepheard, who should be an example to the flocke?
A69195that the ministers should be defendants, and the Bishops plaintifes?
A69195to execute the rites and ceremonies of the Kinges of Iudah?
A69195what communion hath light with darknes?
A69195what concord hath Christ with Beliall, or what parte hath the beleever with the infidell?
A69195what, no thing at all?
A69195what?
A69195when they were not pure, but corrupt,& therefore without integritie?
A69195why then Sirs, you would belike have vs pull downe our Churches, our Oratories and our Chappell''s?
A69195would you then have vs, to have no manner of agreement, concord, or communion, with the Papistes with the Beast, or with the great whore?
A2706824.45, 46. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his Lord hath made ruler over his houshold, to give them meat in due sea ● ● n?
A27068All human actions have their faults: must we therefore do nothing, or converse with no men?
A27068All this is setled by Law, and all Ministers subscribe to it: And is not this enough to the essence of a Pastors office?
A27068And I pray you what alters the case, as to the Parish- Churches?
A27068And are all sinners therefore for hearing him?
A27068And doth not the Law and Church lay more of this on the Incumbents, than the Diocesans( who are not U ● iquitaries)?
A27068And doth not this say as much as I am pleading for?
A27068And doth separating from the whole visible church- communion agree with the prophecies and precepts of union?
A27068And doth that satisfie you?
A27068And have men reason to be confident that our preaching will be more sounder than our writing?
A27068And is it not enough?
A27068And is it not exposing christianity to the scorn of infidels, so to say?
A27068And is it not then a sin to be my hearer?
A27068And now wherein is our Rule, false and theirs true?
A27068And on whom doth the Law most impose it?
A27068And that watch for their Souls as those that must give account?
A27068And what doth the Diocesan in it, more than any one of the rest?
A27068And what if it be dependent on the Diocesan, as governour( tho not as destroyer)?
A27068And what law forbids Incumbents to promulgate Christs commands, and charge men to obey them?
A27068And what then, if your Schism prove a Sin?
A27068And what''s London to all England?
A27068And when you cut off your self from all, saving a shred, are you a Member of the undivided Body of Christ?
A27068And who doth most of that work?
A27068And who doth this most in all the Churches?
A27068And who most doth this work among us?
A27068And why can such a Law any more bind me to judg of Church- constitutions by the Lawmakers words, rather than by Gods Word?
A27068And why must the Parish Church and Pastor needs be Independent?
A27068And yet not if a Pastor or a ruling Majority of people injoin it, or unless we leave all to confusion?
A27068Are not Churches formally relative societies; what maketh them such, but thoughts and wills of men expressed?
A27068Are not your private Churches more unquestionably Excommunicate,& c. by the Canon, and yet you separate not from them?
A27068Ask the parishes who those be?
A27068Before them that never knew them, nor could do?
A27068But 1. why do the same men accuse me for perswading men to avoid sufferings, as they think, by ill means?
A27068But Christ had twelve Apostles, and 70, or 72 other Teachers, and many more Disciples; Were these no Church, nor matter for a Church?
A27068But here our Disputants think they expose me to derision: What?
A27068But none of the things are indeed Worship, which you say men may command?
A27068But the great doubt is, who hath the Power of Government, and who actually governs,( not by the sword) but with the Ministerial Pastoral Government?
A27068But what if a man be in doubt, whether such Obedience be not his Duty: Is it not the safer side much more if he verily think it his Duty?
A27068But what is the false Rule?
A27068But what words be they in the Covenant that we violate?
A27068But whether the Law be on their side, or against them?
A27068Can I think that he will not preach as ill as he writeth in this book?
A27068Can he do as Ignatius''s Bishops, that must take notice of all the Church, even Servants and Maids?
A27068Can there be a higher exercise of the Keys?
A27068Can you see but on one side?
A27068Confirmation another?
A27068Could he have leave constantly to teach there, if he had there used to cry down their ordinary worship?
A27068Did he not ord ● narily joyn in the Synagogues in their worsh ● p?
A27068Did he the whole office of a pastor: What if the Bishop had forbid him to sing ● salms?
A27068Did not Gods Law make it unlawful to them, or to us before?
A27068Do Diocesans teach from house to house, from Southwark to Christ- Church, from N ● wark to Alesbury or Tame?
A27068Do I intimate that one and the same Congregation, may be two Churches of different species?
A27068Do not men use to deliberate more, and study what to write, than what to preach?
A27068Do the fl ● cks see more the Incumbents example, or the Diocesans?
A27068Do you think a Lay Civilian by Excommunicating, can prove or make a man a member of any Church against his will?
A27068Doth it follow, that I must separate from it?
A27068Doth that make him guilty of all?
A27068Doth the Diocesan or the Incumbent more walk as a known example before the Parish flock, for their imitation?
A27068Doth the Law and Church lay more of this on Diocesans ▪ or parish Pastors?
A27068Doth their esteeming you a Member, prove that you are so?
A27068England is one Kingdom; If there be one or many faults in its Laws or officers, may we therefore obey none that are faultless?
A27068Had the Ceremonious Pharisees no ill forms nor ceremonies in their Worship?
A27068Have they de facto, nulled Christs Power, Law ▪ or Offices and Churches?
A27068He had no oth ● r Church?
A27068He that is not in the Church, how comes he to be cast out?
A27068How many private Meetings in London, never sing a Psalm for fear of being discovered?
A27068How oft have I answered this, without any reply?
A27068If the Law had said, All Schools in England shall be essentially subject to Diocesans, must we therefore have had no more Schools?
A27068Is Speaking no part nor accident of worship, because speaking is used in common things?
A27068Is commanded obedience become a sin?
A27068Is eating and drinking no part of the Sacrament, because we use them as natural acts for our daily sustenance?
A27068Is it a sin to have confederacy or Communion with their Churches?
A27068Is it any more destructive of its Essence, than to be governed by a Classis or Council?
A27068Is it only the law?
A27068Is it that Lincoln shire, Leicester- shire, Northamton- shire, Buckingham- shire, be at peace among themselves, from Gainsborough to Oxford- shire?
A27068Is it that they have Steeples and Bells, or that they have Tythes?
A27068Is it the Diocesan or the Incumbent that the law requireth to preach to, and warn every man,& c.?
A27068Is it the Diocesan or the Incumbent?
A27068Is love to God no worship, because love is a natural act?
A27068Is not Baptisme( according to the Liturgy) a symbol of incorporation into the Church of England?
A27068Is not the Church State more concerned in the whole congregation ▪ than in an absent Bishop?
A27068Is not this the next step( and a temptation) to utter infidelity?
A27068Is not this true?
A27068Is praying no act of Religion, because we may pray to men?
A27068Is this done more by the Diocesans, or by the Incumbents?
A27068Is this our running from Popery?
A27068It is their example that sak to them thword of God, that the Apostle sets before them: And who be those?
A27068It''s liker he had been none for resisting John, of the two: Were all degraded that obeyed the Apostles?
A27068Must all forbear Communion till they are so good Lawyers?
A27068Must we needs be sure which of these is in the right?
A27068Must we needs say therefore that they omit all Worship?
A27068Name me, if you can, any thing essential, which all Ministers promise not at Ordination?
A27068No Elders that rule well?
A27068No wonder; those may be true churches, that are not compleat in integrity or degree; will you separate from all churches that are not so compleat?
A27068Nor of what number, power, or interest these men are of( against whom I have oft written)?
A27068Now at last I come closer to my question: Have you no Church Rulers among you?
A27068Now the question is, how any of these subordinate rules are just or false?
A27068Nulled it by a Nullity of pretended Authority, and overcome his Power without Power?
A27068On whom doth the law impose most preaching?
A27068Or if the School- master subscribe to them, is it a sin to be his Scholar?
A27068Or if there be any fault in any one of all these books, is every one guilty of them that cometh to the churches?
A27068Or to go to any negligent person of his Flock with the same charge?
A27068Or who can make an unknown man his pattern?
A27068Q. VVhat?
A27068Shall we sin if the Law impose a Translation, Psalm Book, or reverent gesture, unless we separate?
A27068That they make us to be no true Ministers or Churches?
A27068The Diocesan in all the Parishes of his Diocesse, or the Incumbents?
A27068The Laws are the Rule of National Justice; may a Judg, Justice, Officer or subject use none of them, because some are faulty?
A27068They may bind him over to answer his contumacy at the Bar of God; and what of this is denied by the Church, to belong to the Incumbents Office?
A27068Those ● ld Nonconformists that did so, are no presidents to 〈 ◊ 〉; If they halted and were lame, must we be so?
A27068VVho can observe his example whom he never saw nor know?
A27068Was all the wonderful works of redemption wrought for no visible society after one or two hundred years, in which a few persecuted ones were visible?
A27068Was this church like a grain of Mustard seed in its growth?
A27068What difference but conceit and consent?
A27068What if Rebaptizing prove a Sin?
A27068What if a Law said, All people shall worship God, not because the Scripture commandeth it, but because the State commands it?
A27068What if all this be true?
A27068What if it be poor men or women that can not buy all these books?
A27068What if the Covenant descri ● ed by your Client,( to obey none but Christ, in matters belonging to Worship) prove a Sin?
A27068What if the Law should say, The Pastoral Office is not of Divine Right, but humane, must the office therefore be renounced?
A27068What is meant by[ among themselves?]
A27068What is meant by[ changing it, de facto?]
A27068What is the Reason?
A27068What is this to the Text?
A27068What?
A27068Where hath the Gospel extensively much prospered where Princes and Rulers were not Christians?
A27068Whether I and such other do well or ill in that communion we hold with the Parish Churches?
A27068Whether there be not a sort of Diocesan Prelacy, which nulleth them?
A27068Who Laboureth among them most in the several parishes, publickly and privately?
A27068Who are most among them?
A27068Who doth the Law most require it of?
A27068Who doth the law appoint to warn every one in the Church, from house to house, and night and day,& c.?
A27068Who is it that preacheth most for the Conversion of the rest, Atheists, Sadduces, Infidels, Hereticks, Bruitists, and impious ones?
A27068Who most admonisheth them?
A27068Whom doth the Law require to do more in feeding and guiding the flock?
A27068Why may it not suffice to know Christs Law, and to profess to obey it, and to do nothing against it willingly?
A27068Will you have no Communion with Presbyterians?
A27068Would not almost all rather turn Papists, than believe this?
A27068Would this make it unlawful to worship God?
A27068Yea, how many seldom read a Chapter, but only preach and pray, and sometime administer the Sacrament?
A27068Yea, is it not the great thing that we accuse the superconformists for?
A27068[ Is he not by Communion in the Sacarment of Baptisme made a member?
A27068and are we indeed of the same mind?
A27068and how shall they have time to study them, or capacity to understand them, when we can hardly get them to learn a Catechism and anderstand it?
A27068and is it the Diocesan or they that use it by baptizing?
A27068and shall we now justifie them and say as they( tho not on the same Reason, but for a far smaller difference)?
A27068and what if they can not read?
A27068and whether had he then lived, he should have separated from all the Churches on earth?
A27068and who else is capable of doing this in Parishes that have multitudes of ungodly persons?
A27068are they all guilty of all these, and such others?
A27068nor no Independents, whose Churches having many Pastors and Elders, no one exerciseth( no nor hath) more than part of the power?
A27068or is it not rather that neighbour Christians that see each other, so live in peace?
A27068or is it the Incumbents?
A27068or on parish Priests?
A27068or to go to any Drunkard, Fornicator, Railer, and to tell him from God of h ● s sin and danger, and exhort and command him to repent and amend?
A27068part, to receive all the offerings of the Communicants, and all the tythes and first fruits,& c. Who doth this most?
A27068receiving the Lords Supper another symbol?
A27068that is a stranger to them?
A27068that never saw them, or the Incumbent that layeth out all his Study and Time on them?
A27068that never seeth the most, nor ever preacheth to one Flock of many?
A27068was this communion more lawful or laudable than with honest parish Ministers in the Liturgy?
A27068what greater omission or defect is there in many Parish- Churches?
A27068whom shall they get to read them all?
A27068— How comes it to pass, that the Church hath power of excommunicating any Person, but by vertue of Incorporation, which she hath by the same Law?
A27068— Is he not by Communion in the Sacrament of baptism made a Member?
A195691 Why the bastards of christians are baptizable?
A195691 themselves?
A195692 How hee useth and exerciseth it?
A195692 What benefit he can have from it?
A195693 VVhat separation Gods word will warrant from such receivers?
A19569A thiefe hath got a true mans purse, may not Justice deliver it to him againe, and leave the thiefe to his Judge and punishment?
A19569And are not our Deacons such?
A19569And are not these true Ministers that doe thus?
A19569And are wee in the church of England such?
A19569And by whom should wee be ordained but by such?
A19569And doe wee and all these saints before us set up images to our selves in these ceremonies, for religious u ● e?
A19569And have not Presbyters chosen clarkes, synodically to meete, to make rul ● s and Canons for them?
A19569And is it not thus with our Ministery?
A19569And is not this Justice?
A19569And on that day, shall our forsakers escape scotfree?
A19569And that this is provided for members, is certaine; For( saith Paul) what have I to doe to judge those that are without?
A19569And the question is not, whether bastards in generall are baptizable?
A19569And though then they had but one Tabernacle, yet when after they were divided into severall Synagogues, did they not continue the only church of God?
A19569And wh ● t must they bee taught?
A19569And what doe our Bishops more then thus?
A19569And what if we be so called in our ordination?
A19569And what meanes are they?
A19569And who are these?
A19569And why should any bee offended at that name by which the holy Ghost calls us?
A19569And why so?
A19569Are not our Church- wardens, and overseers the same for substance of office, if they would be also alwaies the same for conscience?
A19569Are not these things permitted to them and us?
A19569Are they not members of a Church in the outward covenant of christianity as well as others?
A19569Because they consent with us in doing of our good, doe wee therefore consent with them in doing their evill?
A19569Because they may( if they will) accuse themselves, will they therefore accuse Christ as if his bounty in our Church were not worth the injoyment?
A19569Being asked, how they could prove that they onely were the church?
A19569Besides, hath not Christ our head, in the use and exercise of these blessings manifested his effectuall power?
A19569Besides, must they not confesse that that one church of the nation of Jewes was governed: by one law, and one king?
A19569But am I not deceived?
A19569But are not all christians separated thus as well as they, from Iewes, Turkes, Heathens?
A19569But for all this, why should wee not have a true ministery?
A19569But for the Table gesture, will they have all other formalities, at a Table, fit for the Table of the Lord?
A19569But how farre hath she cut her selfe off?
A19569But is it certaine that the people have such a right in calling their Presbyters?
A19569But is it therefore unlawfull for the people to say after their leader when hee prompteth them, or they are taught by the Church?
A19569But is the sinne of separation so great, that it should be punished more then blasphemy, perjury, whoring, drunkennesse, say they?
A19569But let us take a viewe of the particulars, and see whether it be so or no, and how far?
A19569But may they not rather thus dispute?
A19569But put case it were fully true, were wee not therefore true ministers?
A19569But put case they could not make such aclaime, if there be the office, shall we quarrell about the names?
A19569But say the Brownists, doth profession make a church of the body of Christ?
A19569But say, I pray: Is their sin properly against faith or manners?
A19569But they say, can uncleane bastards be the seed of the believing?
A19569But thirdly, say the Brownists, what is that to us?
A19569But were it not very harsh to say they are infidels?
A19569But what answer they?
A19569But what doe they assume?
A19569But what have Christians to doe here, if it was the comfort or a Iew against a Iew in private offences?
A19569But what if she be ready to be swallowed up of sorrow?
A19569But what is Christs ordinary way?
A19569But when they spend their time and strength in rectifying disorders as they can by law, shall they have no reward?
A19569But who laid this( must) upon you?
A19569But why should wee grant them this?
A19569But yet( say they) grant all this true, yet are there divers exceptions against our Bishops?
A19569But( say the Brownists) wherein stands this office of Kings in the Church, and over the members of it?
A19569But( say they) hath not God given every good Christian a spirit of supplication, by which they have a faculty and power to pray?
A19569But( say they) how can the wicked bee members of the church of Christ, seeing Christ is not their head?
A19569But( say they) what is this kingdome of heaven?
A19569But( say they) where is this to be found?
A19569But( say they) wicked men are dead: and how can dead members bee members of a living body?
A19569But, Lord, how hard is this?

A19569By Robert Abbot... Abbot, Robert, 1588?-1662?
A19569By what authority might they?
A19569Can they not truly say, In Christ Iesus wee have begotten thousands through the Gospel?
A19569Can they therfore justly say, that they must separate from a Church corrupted for want of I governement?
A19569David displeased not Adonjah from his youth, nor said ▪ Why dost thou thus?
A19569Did he now goe against the faithfulnesse of Moses, when he commanded it not?
A19569Did hre not likewise honour God with the solemnity of seven dayes, and seven daies without particular warrant?
A19569Did not Hezekiah the same, and that not by instinct, as a type of I know not whom, but still after the example of David, who was not checked for it?
A19569Did not Iosiah cause and make his people to stand to his covenant to serve, even to serve the Lord our God?
A19569Did not Manasseh, after hee was come home to God, command Iudah to serve the God of Israel?
A19569Did not Solomon by soveraignety deprive Abiathar, and induct Zadoch, yea and appoint the Priests and Levites to their severall service, as David?
A19569Doe not all the people, as well as the Presbyter pray to God, and praise God in singing Psalmes?
A19569Doe not wee cleave to the onely true God, by knowledge, repentance, faith, feare, love, confidence, joy, thankfulnesse, patience, and adoration?
A19569Doe they consider how thus they take away Baptisme from all men, women, and children?
A19569Doe they doe it by vertue of their generall, or speciall calling?
A19569Doe we not look, from the first, to the last, to bee saved onely by Christ?
A19569Doe we not pray to him knowingly, faithfully, zealously, penitently, and obediently desiring to be made better?
A19569Doe we not preach and heare his word carefully, and reverently, desiring to know, and doe?
A19569Doe we not worship in spirit, when the spirit moves towards heaven as well as the flesh?
A19569Doe wee not know God to bee the onely true God, and therefore give him his true worship in spirit and truth, according to his word?
A19569Doe wee not pr ● fesse saving truth?
A19569Doe wee not worship in spirit and truth, when with such petitions, heart, and tongue; we seek to God in all places, not trusting in any?
A19569Doe wee not worship in truth, when our petitions are true petitions, uttered with a true tongue according to the truth of our hearts?
A19569Doth he not say, Hee shall live, his sinnes shall not be mentioned unto him?
A19569Doth he not say, If they turne from all their iniquities, and keepe all my Statutes?
A19569Doth he not say, if the wicked will turne?
A19569Doth not Christ himselfe so expound it in opening the parable of the tares?
A19569First they say it is a ceremonial worship; will no worshippe please them, but a slovenly one, unbecomming the person of that God whom wee worship?
A19569First, that the Church is a company of true beleevers whō God bath chosen to eternall life; which Church I pray?
A19569For doe but consider 1 Wherein Christs headship stands?
A19569For have not the people chosen knights, and Burgesses to draw up, and to consent to lawes for them?
A19569For how fond were it to thinke that all the Elders, Deacons, and believers that Paul gives him Jurisdiction over there, should be of one assembly?
A19569For let me aske, doth a vaste sinne so cut off from Christ, that it doth unchristian a man or woman?
A19569For what fellowship hath righteousnesse with unrighteousnesse, and what agreement hath light with darknesse?
A19569God purposed him the blessing: and though hee got not the possession the right way, shall his purpose faile?
A19569Had not the members of our reforming church this knowledge?
A19569Hath not the Gospel beene the power of God by it to many that have beleeved it?
A19569Have I not lived like thy servant, though with much sensible weakenesse?
A19569Have they not read of taking the members of Christ, and making them the members of an harlot?
A19569Have they not read of the seedes of faith, in such?
A19569Have we not by thy Name prophecied, and by thy Name cast out Devils?
A19569Have wee a spirit better than the Disciples of Christ?
A19569Have wee not( thorough grace) the word of God, gifts, ministery, and sacraments from Christs rule?
A19569Have yee had a care to keepe a Christian state to CHRISTS honour?
A19569Have yee loved publicke assemblies to that end and use?
A19569Have yee not forsaken the assemblies of CHRISTS people for no just cause?
A19569How are we yet guilty of the sinnes of others to our pollution?
A19569How can they pray in spirit( say they) when they use him not?
A19569How many assemblies wee have neglected?
A19569How many have exhorted us, and wee have not answered and followed?
A19569How many in our power wee have not exhorted?
A19569How many iniquities are subdued, and sinnes cast into the depthes of the sea?
A19569How many wee have prophaned, in being no better?
A19569How many wicked members were in the only church of God in Christs time; yet he separates not from it as a false church?
A19569How soon is this streame dryed up, because men live not with Christ the spring- head?
A19569How then can it be imagined that wee should not have a true worship?
A19569How wee use the signe of the crosse?
A19569I am sure, that neither Israel, nor Christ, nor his Apostles did so?
A19569I may set up a Sea marke to signifie a Rocke neere, that I split not upon it, And may not we be as wise for our soules as for our bodies?
A19569I pray is not this the full sense of the Prophet; made speake to ordinary capacity, if not his words?
A19569I wonder what they would have done, if they had lived in the times of the Judges, when every man did what hee listed?
A19569I ● not, why must this alone be fit, when Christ hath no said so?
A19569If any professe they know God, and by workes deny him, yet shall not all things be pure to them that are pure?
A19569If secondly, you aske what benefit this wicked man can have by this sacrament?
A19569If therefore, they can not finde a church of that covenant till Brownes daies, how can they bee a true church which hath never failed, nor ever shall?
A19569If these men had gold and silver mingled with durt, and poyson, would they cry out, all durt, all poyson, and worke for more?
A19569If they did not signifie, how could they edifie?
A19569If they may preach, why may they not administer the sacraments, seeing both goe together?
A19569If they were pressed to conformity by the authority of the Emperour, they cried out, what hath the Emperour to doe with the church?
A19569If this charge were true, surely, they might say as David to Eliab, Is there not a cause?
A19569In the secret of our understanding, will, affections, judgements, consciences, corners, woods, and denns?
A19569In this I finde two questions inwrapt in one: whether bastards are baptizable?
A19569Indeed we have not Prophets, Apostles, and proper Evangelists: but have we not Past ● rs and teachers?
A19569Iohn did onely write to the Church about it: And are these wiser then they?
A19569Is Moses unfaithfull?
A19569Is his ● eamelesse coate to bee rent in sunder because some of those about him have cast some spots upon it?
A19569Is it not lawfull for good Princes in reforming to follow these examples?
A19569Is it not the world?
A19569Is it so contemptible a name which is put upon all Christians, both kings and beggars?
A19569Is not that a true Church which enters covenant with mee, as all the Christians in the World by entring into my schoole by Baptisme?
A19569Is not that a true church which professeth the name of Christ according to his word, whereto it submits as the rule of the religion it hath?
A19569Is not this equivalent to at what time soever, whether to day, to morrow, or whensoever?
A19569Is there no spirit but our owne?
A19569It is a brave thing to rule, and who would not doe so?
A19569It is their owne, as Nabal said, why should they give it to others?
A19569It is true, that afterwards they either went backe, or were throwne out by justice; but the question is, what made them members of the visible church?
A19569Lastly they aske, what danger is it if bastards should bee unbaptized till they are of yeares?
A19569Lord, what have I done?
A19569Next, consider in the question, the duty of these persons, whether they ought to stay bastards from baptisme?
A19569Now whereas they aske, whether all children, or some have right?
A19569Put case Timothy and Titus were Bishops, yet were they not such as ours, that is Diocesan Bishops, what then?
A19569Put case all these were true: were this a sufficient cause of separation?
A19569Put case they had the authority of a judge( which is false heere) may a judge hang a thiefe before his trial?
A19569Put case this great plea were true at first, yet may not an after mending of what was first amisse, rectifie and confirme all?
A19569Put case we had no power to purge wicked livers, must they presently say, Depart from me, I am holier than thou?
A19569Put case wee had not power to remove scandals, must they therefore separate?
A19569Quid Imperatori cū ecclesia?
A19569Say I pray; which of our members doe not thus readily professe?
A19569Shall wee make God an harder master?
A19569Shall wee not have the church to apply her power of mitigating indulgence?
A19569Should they not live?
A19569Some have beene in their ordinary businesses, as the woman of Samaria, and have come off with the bells of the horses, pots in Ierusalem, and Iudah?
A19569Surely, if they heare and consent unto it( though in hypocrisie) God accounts them in covenant, and then who shall deny them to be members?
A19569Take heed: was not Davids child got of the wife of Vrijah the generation of them that loved God at all, though in that act David loved him not?
A19569That all our members entred not upon knowledge, is false; were they in planting from no church, or in reforming from a corrupt church?
A19569The Scripture speakes not of any other particular quantity but the tenth part, what therfore else can satisfie conscience that it erre not?
A19569The argument is imperfect: for what if bastards bee such as whose parents are unknowne?
A19569The best prayers are those that are delivered in Gods words: and are our spirits stinted because we tye our selves to Gods words?
A19569The danger of injustice at large, in withholding a right from them: yea, may I not call it sacriledge?
A19569Then, I pray, tell me( say they) the reason of two things; why ungodly men are not cast out?
A19569Therefore our Ministery having done thus, are not these true Ministers?
A19569These men are liberall in making types of Christs kingdome; but I wonder whence they will prove it, what word of Christ will they bring for it?
A19569They answer here what if there be no difference put?
A19569They have deserved worse, Hell, will they refuse the seale of a pardon from a wicked Priest?
A19569They say first, that Bastards and their parents are all infidels: what?
A19569This is true, but to whom?
A19569To remember Gods benefits is commanded: but for Mordecai and the Iewes to doe it by the Feast of Purim, who hath required it?
A19569To the first, whether Bastards are baptizable?
A19569True: but may they not as well prove Timothy to be an Apostle, because hee did the worke of the Lord as Paul did?
A19569VVhence, I pray, doth this proceed, but from the influence and power of Christ united to us?
A19569What Ministery have you forsaken?
A19569What is heere but an imposing an oath upon a man to accuse, or excuse himselfe?
A19569What is this but repent from the bottome of the heart, and leave no root of bitternesse behind?
A19569What is this to our church?
A19569What matters it then for names, if wee can agree in other things?
A19569What new scripture hath ever Christ made for this confusion?
A19569What then, is the want in our entrance, which doth make us no true church?
A19569What though some submitted out of feare of power?
A19569What though- something that Christ hath commanded to be observed be not taught, nor observed, doth it therefore follow that such a Church is not his?
A19569What worship have you forsaken?
A19569What?
A19569Where is their charity?
A19569Who doth doubt that as the base carriage of Christians doth make religion blasphemed: so the faire carriage of thē doth win aliens to like it?
A19569Who doth not desire salvation?
A19569Who doubts but the perswasions of others may draw men to Christ or his followers to bee informed in good wayes?
A19569Who doubts of Aquilas and Priscillas taking Apollos( a man mighty in the Scriptures) and making him understand the wayes of Christ better?
A19569Why not( say the Brownists?)
A19569Why se ● formes are prescribed ministers?
A19569Why then may not the grave assembly of the seventy elders be called a church?
A19569Why( say they) should they appropriate to themselvs this name of Bishops, which belongs to all other Pastours as well as to them?
A19569Why, what is the matter?
A19569Why?
A19569Will it grieve any man to see Christians to worship their God in an humble, comely, and reverend way?
A19569Yea but( say they) doe we not see more abominations yet?
A19569Yet consider this point: Can any man be guilty of the personal sinne of another, with whom onely there is communion of suffering, and not of sinning?
A19569and doe wee know what will stint them better than Christ?
A19569and how farre?
A19569and how is that?
A19569and where is these mens charities?
A19569and why in the Christian Church have susceptors( or God- fathers) beene appointed for them, to undertake for their education?
A19569have I not laboured in thy vineyard with all my strength?
A19569have J not taught thy truth by taking heede to reading and doctrine?
A19569have the people, all the members, power of jurisdiction over all?
A19569may not they binde their people some way, by oath, bond, subscription, or taking, and giving hands for better performance of duties of religion?
A19569may not we be called so as ministers, as well as we, and they too as Christians?
A19569nor was Ishmael the generation of Abraham that loved God, though in that act( out of ignorāce not wholy excusing) Abraham loved him not?
A19569or how can we justly give them that name of Separatists except wee will grant our selves to bee such?
A19569or in our blessed Saviours time, when so many schismaticks, and sectaries had rule and governement?
A19569or that Christ speaking of little ones, saith, they beleeve in his name?
A19569or will they hold that the act of whoredome doth utterly extinguish baptismall grace in the parents?
A19569shall they not passe a strickt triall and examination?
A19569shall we have nothing but extreamitie?
A19569such as may justifie a separation?
A19569though their parents bee Christians?
A19569to adore God in, or by?
A19569to them that serve him aright, or to them that serve him amisse?
A19569to worship?
A19569was Christ no master when his purse- bearer betrayed him, and the rest of his servants runne away from him?
A19569was it not onely permitted?
A19569were they not still reputed of God as one man, though some were better, and more worse?
A19569were they parish Bishops?
A19569what is this but I will put them or blot them out of my remembrance?
A19569what must they doe?
A19569what place is there, where we shall not find the serpents head broken?
A19569what?
A19569what?
A19569when they governe according to the lawes, and Canons of Church and Common- wealth?
A19569where was the seede of our many hundreds of Martyrs?
A19569who therefore should receive them, but those that are in his stead to beseech you to be reconciled unto God?
A19569who will say that he will not heare God, and do his will?
A19569why may not our good Princes follow those old patternes in reforming?
A19569will hee not love Iacob though hee got the blessing by deceit?
A19569will nothing but the body of Christ serve for a true church?
A10835& c. and if they do so, why deal you against them?
A10835& how implacable is the hatred at this day of them whom they call Lutherans against the followers of the other partyes?
A10835& if all be to be let alone, why meddle they with any?
A10835& no immediate right from Christ, but a graunt vnto them from the Apostles, or vpon their exhortation for the tyme?
A10835& that tyes the people to their unpreaching parish- preists, rather then permits them to hear a Preacher in the next parish?
A10835& what communion hath light with darknes?
A10835& wil any reasonable man deny the vse and discourse of reason?
A10835( amongst which were Pastours and Teachers) were before the Church, out of which they were taken, and raysed vp of God to beget a Church?
A10835* If iudgment thus begin at Gods house, what shall the end of them be which obey not the gospell of God?
A1083510. and in particular thinks it specially the peoples right to chuse or reiect worthy, or vnworthy Ministers, then which what power is greater?
A1083511. names idolatours amongst the rest; and will you haue idolaters your brethren, Mr B?
A1083514. did the women speak?
A1083514. why might not Mr Barrow affirm theyr Ministery and ministration to be of and by the Divill?
A1083517. is meant the whole body, of which Christ speaks in the third person: and what say wee more?
A1083518. and sayth he it not also to the Churches of other nations?
A1083518. and that Paul should come after, and direct them to account him a brother?
A1083518. for the reproving& censuring of offenders, and for the binding,& loosing of sinns?
A108352. if your Bishops be Pastours, and Teachers by their office, what are you, and the rest of your rank?
A108353. graunt it were( as they pretend) with these few parishes, what must be sayd of the rest which did not so practise?
A108353. proves no such matter) yet is the thing true you say, namely that a part of the Church is sometimes called by the name of the whole; but what part?
A10835311. that, if we receive, and hold our baptism from Rome, why not our ordination also?
A1083534. did children speak?
A108356. and what fellowship sayth Paul, hath righteousnes with vnrighteousnes?
A108359. what wil be the end of those spirituall ingrossers and oppressours, if they repent not?
A10835A holy brotherhood it seems you will have, brother idolater, haeretique, and what not?
A10835And are persons graces, Mr Bernard?
A10835And can these things which ly thus in comō to all, be the true properties of the Church?
A10835And dare you say( as you haue done in both your books) that the officers are absolutely to the Church, as the eyes to the body?
A10835And did not all offerings brought to any other place( without speciall dispensation) stink in his nostrels?
A10835And do these Atheists hold, and professe the true fayth, and every article of Gods holy truth, which is fundamentall?
A10835And do these Churches like sisters go hand in hand together as is pretended?
A10835And do these men deal soundly, who to prove a point in controversie, bring the opinion of their adversaries, which they condemn ▪ as vnsound?
A10835And do you think Mr B. that religious communion may be held with such without pollution?
A10835And doth the holy Ghost in leaving these things recorded give any countenance to a mixt company?
A10835And for Christs kingly office, who is able to set down the indignities,& outrages offered in your Church to the scepter therof?
A10835And hath God perswaded the harts of these to receive the word& sacramēts in any sence?
A10835And hath Gods wisdome so appoynted now?
A10835And hath the Lord sanctified that for his house which is not holy, and good enough for their houses?
A10835And have you begotten them vnto the faith, as Paul did the Corinthians?
A10835And hovv do these things appear?
A10835And how can you with modesty reiect this answer?
A10835And how chosen?
A10835And how serves this for the Church of England?
A10835And how then true matter of the Church, for which you so much contend?
A10835And how to this?
A10835And if Mr B. himselfe thus wryte and speak in private, why blames he vs for our publique testimony?
A10835And if he do not, but speak the vision of his owne heart, what remedy hath the Church or what can they that hear him do?
A10835And if it were so, should myne iniquities excuse yours?
A10835And if the parable be thus meant, hovv can it be defended that any Church should cast out any offenders whomsoever?
A10835And indeed where should the Lord set his stewards but in his familie?
A10835And is it cavelling in vs, or ignorance in you thus to speak?
A10835And is it not* against the law of love to vse things indifferent with offence?
A10835And is it so in deed, that, bycause men must examine themselves, therefore not others?
A10835And is it so indeed?
A10835And is it so?
A10835And is not here an orderly constitution, and a Church truely gathered by the sacrament of baptisme?
A10835And is not this sound dealing?
A10835And is not this the estate of your Ministers, and people vnder their imperious Lords the Prelates?
A10835And is the Church of Rome a true visible Church?
A10835And is the man of sin,& divels, idols, the beast,( al which Antichristians worship) the true God?
A10835And is this a sufficient answering of an adversary to bring sundry reasons to prove the very thing, which he affirmes?
A10835And is this the necessary proof you speak of?
A10835And is this your piety, and thankfulnes Mr B. towards your mother, for want of which you cast so many bitter curses vpon the separatists?
A10835And is this your righting of our wrestings Mr B?
A10835And know you not, that every sound Reason, or Argument must prove, or argue, of it self, the thing, for vvhich it is brought?
A10835And let me ask him yet further for the wellfare of which order of Ministery he would have vs pray?
A10835And might not any Papist or other heretik make this exception?
A10835And might not your people tell you out of your own book, that you have nought to do to examine them?
A10835And secōdly what though the cōstitutiō be not totally lost?
A10835And since you graunt Mr B. that the Pastor is to feed those litle ones, do you not therein acknowledge they are converted, or borne a new?
A10835And to come nearer our own tymes, how bitter was Luther agaynst Swinglius& Calvin in the matter of the Sacrament?
A10835And was this field sowen, this orchard planted, this Church gathered, by the Lords hand?
A10835And what ar the high places of Iuda?

A10835And what doth this better your popish ceremonies?
A10835And what els do all the reformed Churches abroad and reformists at home iudge, speak,& write of them?
A10835And what followes vpon this?
A10835And what greater confusion is there like to be in the determining of other Church affaires by voyces, then in the calling of ministers?
A10835And what if but some of these be false, and not all?
A10835And what is a Pastour, but a sheepheard?
A10835And what is rottennes but the corruption of the body?
A10835And what lesse is given to the King when by his authority I vse things indifferent with offence to my weak brother?
A10835And what reason haue you, or any other man to put vs to prove your corruptions and devises, which you know we neyther practise, nor allow of?
A10835And what right hath such an assembly to chuse a Minister, which hath no right to his ministrations of the sacraments,& other holy things?
A10835And what to be holy, but to be of a sound iudgement, pure affections, and vnblameable conversation?
A10835And what vsurpation is here vpon the Magistracy?
A10835And where by way of exception you demaund how one man can remit trespasses done against an other?
A10835And wherefore?
A10835And wherein stands the breach of the fourth commaundemēt but in a circumstance of tyme?
A10835And who should deny them to meddle in those things which concerne them?
A10835Answerable vnto which is that in † Iames, Is any among you afflicted?
A10835Are false Ministers the Lords ordinary means of planting Churches?
A10835Are not these matters of conscience with you Mr B. wherein your lawes, and law- makers bynde and loose, as they list?
A10835Argument you make sheepheards, call their sheep by name, or take notice of,& watch over their whole Diocesan, and Provinciall flocks?
A10835But admit in the 2. place, that the Patron stood in the room of the people to choose for them, I would demaund, who set him there?
A10835But are you your self wholly conformable Mr B?
A10835But did things so continue?
A10835But do you not consider Mr Bernard that* the old testament or law is abrogated, and disanulled, as having the shadow of good things to come?
A10835But here it vvilbe demaunded of me, did not the Lord require in the Iewish Church true, morall, and spirituall holynes also?
A10835But how considered?
A10835But how do these things concern you?
A10835But now least any should object may women also prophesie?
A10835But to what end?
A10835But what answerable vnto this can be brought forth in the reformation of the English Iudah?
A10835But what countenance doe the infirmities of these holy men give to the prophane and graceles multitude against whom we deal?
A10835But what do I striving with this man, which needs none other adversary but himself?

A02522If they had this aduantage against vs, how could wee stand?
A02522If we be traytors in our obedience: what doe you make of him that commands it?
A02522If yea, as who can denie it, that knowes what the worshippe of God meaneth?

A02522The third is our blasting Hierarchie, which suffers no good thing,( that is no Brownist, no singular fancy)( for what good things haue we but yours?)
A02522Then follow the wordes of consecration: I pray you, what difference is there betwixt hallowing, and consecration?
A02522Then we fell not from you: Euery Apostacie of a Church must needs be from the true Church; A true Church, and not yours?

A02522Who is fitter to offer vp the publike prayer, then the Minister?
A02522Why more then extreme needinesse?
