A10834 | Now what of these things? |
A10834 | Now, alasse, what sufficient bulwark of defence haue we( poore people) to oppose unto the violence of so many, and mightie adversaries? |
A10834 | Or did he himself frame any for the purpose, whose b ● ● ten troad the Churches following afterwards should not erre? |

A20920 | Ainsworth, Henry, 1571- 1622? |
A20920 | Alas brethren, is your purgation so much worth vnto you that therfore the publicke good of the Church should bee brought into so greate danger? |
A20920 | And els how knew he at the moneths end more then before/ to whom and whither to send as he did? |
A20920 | And to conclude/ who can or ought to attend more to the discussing of these things? |
A20920 | And to what end I pray you is it? |
A20920 | And to whom( we pray you) would it not be good/ if that were done/ which we des ● er? |
A20920 | And who would not have expected this? |
A20920 | At least/ why did you not so provide as that letter of ours which was in your handes/ should also be translated and published? |
A20920 | But now of the third thing what shal I say? |
A20920 | But where fore with mee brethren, who doe neither heare these accusations of yours; neither if I should heare them, would I receive them rashly? |
A20920 | But why then did you not douchsafe to give vs any knowledg therof? |
A20920 | Contrariwise whom would it not hurt? |
A20920 | Did you thinck that* he which is first in his owne cause is iust? |
A20920 | Do not all these agree in the holy and anncyent doctrine of Godlynes? |
A20920 | Doe you indeed speak as you thinke? |
A20920 | Els how knew you at the moneths end more thē before whither and to whō to send? |
A20920 | First, what need is there, that yee should accuse them? |
A20920 | For I pray you whom would it profit if that were done which yee desire? |
A20920 | If Christ be God let vs follow him: but if the pope be God/ what shall wee say? |
A20920 | If it be so/ why then wryte you/ and yet shew not the errours? |
A20920 | If so why thē wryting these thinges/ do you not professe it? |
A20920 | If this against the shadow and type how much more against the substance and body it self? |
A20920 | Is it because your self beleeu this faith to be trew- sound groūded on the word of God and agreable thervnto? |
A20920 | Is it to reforme them? |
A20920 | Is that their Englysh Masse the trewe and p spirituall worship of God according to his owne wil? |
A20920 | Is this such an hainous and capitall fault with you? |
A20920 | It 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? |
A20920 | Lastly/ in a case of such weight and necessity/ who should rather be called vpon then the students of the holy Scriptures in Christian vniversityes? |
A20920 | No ● no ● we neythre And touching: he dissention not conceale, what need we wryte otherwise then as before we have done? |
A20920 | Now if you have so done/ how is it that you alone wryte back againe? |
A20920 | Now that Messenger of yours spake onely to me, without letters, and called not on any of my Colleages: What thē is the blame you lay vpō me? |
A20920 | Of the fact of the English Churches, I have not certaine knowledge: why would you have vs speake? |
A20920 | Or should not therfore these Confessions have bene publyshed? |
A20920 | Or when you knew/ why did you not seale your letters? |
A20920 | To the end that you might purge your selues? |
A20920 | Touching the conclusion,( Bretheren) what shall I say otherwise then I haue said? |
A20920 | Was it because you would have the shewed? |
A20920 | What compelleth you to be mooued, and to take vpon you, the burthen of accusation? |
A20920 | What if some of them have denounced vs as hereticks and schismaticks? |
A20920 | What is then to be done? |
A20920 | What judges, what witnesses shal we call vpon? |
A20920 | What may this meane? |
A20920 | What? |
A20920 | Wherefore in publick? |
A20920 | Wherefore serueth this purgatiō? |
A20920 | Who beleveth our report, and to whom is the arme of the Lord revealed? |
A20920 | Who now in whome any sparke of true light is can not playnly perceive this their ministery worship and Churche to be false and adulterate? |
A20920 | Who should better instruct in the truth/ or convince falshoold? |
A20920 | Who( we pray you) are esteemed to be of better or sounder judgment? |
A20920 | Whome doth it more concerne to take knowledg/ of the truth and errours in religion? |
A20920 | Why are yee not quiet being without the daunger of any hurt? |
A20920 | Why do you dissemble it? |
A20920 | Why doe yee not beare it( if there be yet any) in silence and hope, rather then to mooue that which is in rest? |
A20920 | Why doe yee not rather passe ouer the iniury that is past? |
A20920 | Why then do you that to others/ which you would not have done to your self? |
A20920 | Will you be ready to help them who erre( as you think) in the manner and circumstāces? |
A20920 | Ye will say thē, who shall bee? |
A20920 | Yea tell vs( we pray you) what you think of that godly and learned Mr. Beza his pryvate Confession of fayth lately publyshed? |
A20920 | Yet now when you touch not the doctrine it self/ what is it that you wryte in this behalf? |
A20920 | You might have been silent as I admonished you by my letters, and will you not let vs be so? |
A20920 | You will say, why w ● s not the time for it? |
A20920 | and will you afford no help at all in the matter and fayth it self? |
A20920 | doth Christes eternall testament or deyne and approve of suche popish Lordes and Prelats to reigne over his Churche? |
A20920 | if a mā answere not according to your prescript, is it by and by an iniurie? |
A20920 | or what am I? |
A20920 | specially/ whē you heare that this fayth is traduced as schisme/ as heresy? |
A20920 | that yee may be euen with them against whom yee cōplaine? |
A20920 | why also do you so often repeat and seeme to reprehend that you/ you( we say) alone/ apart/ are called vpon? |
A20920 | why do you not( as much as in you is) bring into the way such as do erre? |
A01099 | 11.? |
A01099 | 20.: But how vnfit a man is Iean delescluse for such a purpose? |
A01099 | Among all their Prophets is there any which in the exercise of prophecy have so often bene corrected for errour as this man? |
A01099 | And is there any god ● ine ● without reformation? |
A01099 | And what can he conclude hence? |
A01099 | And who will say, that all these sinnes were to be punished with death by the magistrate? |
A01099 | And will any man of wisedome commit vnto the protection and and keeping of theeves the least part of his worldly goods? |
A01099 | Brightmā his booke, how absurd& senselesse is it? |
A01099 | But what meanes he by this? |
A01099 | Can any vnlawfull minister administer lawfully the seales of Gods covenant vnto dogges and swyne purely and sincerely? |
A01099 | Can not the people of God be holy& sanctifyed vnlesse they separate from the churches as the Brownistes doe? |
A01099 | Do 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? |
A01099 | Do they not seek one an others blood in making one an other blasphemers? |
A01099 | Doth it now follow that Israel in the dayes of David was in no better estate then in the dayes of Iehoahaz? |
A01099 | Doth this prove that the church of England is therfore to be separated from? |
A01099 | Fourthly, for their zeale of religion where is it? |
A01099 | HE demandes still in the same place& sayth; Is it possible that holynes and vnholynes can raigne togather? |
A01099 | HE yet demandes againe& saith, Is there any communion betweene Christe and Anti- christe? |
A01099 | Hath he and his flock a speciall God of his owne more then other churches of Christe? |
A01099 | How blinde is Delescluse that makes this question so far from the purpose? |
A01099 | How long halt ye betweene two opinions? |
A01099 | Is there any Christian that is not reformed? |
A01099 | May 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? |
A01099 | May 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? |
A01099 | No, none wilde so vnwise for every one ● ndweth that they will but make a pray of them and spoile and rob them? |
A01099 | Secondly is not the angell of the separation both a persequ ● tour of the brethren and a deceyver or the prince? |
A01099 | Secondly, what if the reformed churches may be ashamed of the corruptions& 〈 ◊ 〉 in the church of England? |
A01099 | Thirdly, for their commendable loyalty and faithfulnes vnto their prince and 〈 ◊ 〉, how doth it appeare? |
A01099 | VVere is their atchievement registred among these cheefe instruments of the Lord? |
A01099 | VVhat can he answer to these thinges? |
A01099 | VVhat sincerity is there in the course of these men that see one an others daubing& yet wink at the same? |
A01099 | VVhat though they were covetous& ambitious given to the love of riches& honors& so became lukewarme? |
A01099 | VVhence he inferreth with an exclamation, Marvelous, and is he still for all this the angell of the Church in Mr. Brightmans iudgement? |
A01099 | VVhy did he never yet cleare himself of this evill? |
A01099 | VVhy then may not Mr. B. call those holy& reformed whom Delescluse doth call godly and Christian? |
A01099 | and Mr. Clifton? |
A01099 | and yet hold his peace? |
A01099 | betweene Idolles and the true God? |
A01099 | betweene light and darknes? |
A01099 | by what good token or argument can be demonstrate the 〈 ◊ 〉? |
A01099 | do they not herein take one another by the throate with their vnpitifull handes? |
A01099 | doth it not vanish into the smoke of contention? |
A01099 | hath he not already hasted& posted so fast on that he hath forgot his reckoning? |
A01099 | have bene? |
A01099 | his booke, seing he the same Iean Delescluse had also a hand in the printing of it heretofore? |
A01099 | his booke? |
A01099 | his speeches? |
A01099 | how vaine& foolish is this? |
A01099 | or can they not give glory vnto God without their separation? |
A01099 | shall any administer purely who is not lawfully called therevnto as Aaron was? |
A01099 | shall their ignorant practise establish them& iustify their estate? |
A01099 | shall this be a iust cause of separation from the church? |
A01099 | shall those that are iudged vnworthy to heare the worde, be allowed for prophets to preach the word? |
A01099 | to partake with Mr. Robinsons errours by printing his booke? |
A01099 | what meanes he by this speech of his God, in saying, the glory of my God? |
A01099 | where vpon Delescluse infereth in these wordes: And what is this? |
A01099 | which Mr. Brighman noteth, how doth Delescluse prove from thence, that separation must reedes follow? |
A01099 | why doth not I. Delescluse call vpon his fellow in like manner? |
A01099 | why 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? |
A01099 | why might he not also make idoles or images& afterwardes cleare himself frō partaking with the sinne of Idolatours by testifying against them? |
A01099 | will 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? |
A13202 | 12. and the other places cited,& gather such a doctrine from them? |
A13202 | 2, had they al one particular office? |
A13202 | Ainsworth, Henry, 1571- 1622? |
A13202 | Ainsworth, Henry, 1571- 1622? |
A13202 | And are these fit scriptures to prove Officers of one sort? |
A13202 | And how often throughout the scriptures is bowing and falling down joyned with worship? |
A13202 | And 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? |
A13202 | And if any one Christian in private had sent him the like, had it not been a sacrifice also? |
A13202 | And if the closing of the book were such a mysterie: what was the taking and opening of the book, nothing? |
A13202 | And 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? |
A13202 | And if they understood not Greek, is it likely that Paul would have written his Epistle to the Romans in Greek, as he did? |
A13202 | And may one person now perform al actions? |
A13202 | And of what nature may we think, was that exercise performed by Christ and the Doctors in the temple? |
A13202 | And was he now setled in his course? |
A13202 | And who can comfortably read the scriptures, if that be the ministerie of the letter, and so death? |
A13202 | Are we not aswell bound to the scriptures in admonishing, as in exhorting and must not the same spirit give life vnto both? |
A13202 | But 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? |
A13202 | But had he learned the Apostles word, † who is sufficient for these things? |
A13202 | But have they not then the teachers office? |
A13202 | But how then shal some of the Elders be rulers onely? |
A13202 | But what is this to the purpose? |
A13202 | But whereunto leadeth this cavil? |
A13202 | Can any reasonable man now think, that this was within the tabernacle, which was so low& little a place? |
A13202 | Could they be converted vvithout the vvord of the covenant? |
A13202 | Did 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? |
A13202 | Did they look on a book when they kindled fyre on the altar, or cast salt on the sacrifice? |
A13202 | For if the Apostles those excellent master builders, had need of supply, for want of sufficiencie; how much more need have wee weaklings? |
A13202 | For shall we have legall ceremonies,( the † shadow of things to come, whose body is in Christ,) to be used as lawful ecclesiasticall actions? |
A13202 | For, did the matter of their worship, the beasts, incense, oil,& c. proceed out of the book? |
A13202 | Had these two therfore one office? |
A13202 | Hath it al likelihood that such as were officers of all the Churches in generall, should be intitled Angels of particular Churches? |
A13202 | Hath not this as good a colour against the audible voice, as the other against the visible writing? |
A13202 | Have they authoritie to preach or govern, which have not the gifts of preaching or government? |
A13202 | How is it then, that this man maketh the matter and form of Gods worship in Israel, to consist in such carnall things? |
A13202 | How then could the litteral translation& reading therof, be the ministerie or covenant of grace? |
A13202 | How then dooth he reason against us in vain, seing in his arguments there † remayns but leasing? |
A13202 | If M. Smyth should translate Paules Epistles, or Iohns Revelation; should we esteeme them M. Smyths epistles or visions? |
A13202 | If 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? |
A13202 | If this be so, how ended Christ the ceremonie of book- worship, where none was to end? |
A13202 | If this be so, how knowes this accuser, that they infinitely corrupted their translation? |
A13202 | Is it mine error to hold that Christ hath ordeyned a Presbyterie in everie Church? |
A13202 | Is not the praysing of God, a part of his worship? |
A13202 | Is there no obedience or submission, thinks he, but unto Lords? |
A13202 | Is this a fit answer to casshier the government of the Elders? |
A13202 | No translated bible may be read in Gods worship, for God may minister a better: what then? |
A13202 | Of them, I grant; for they are divers: but is it of him, that is of one and the same officer? |
A13202 | Or is it mine error to hold, that this Presbyterie is to teach and rule the Church by Christs owne words& lawes? |
A13202 | Or, did it kil them before the tyme? |
A13202 | Seing then neyther expresly nor implicitly the Reader can see the Differences: what are they but delusions? |
A13202 | Shal man limit the holy Ghost, to doe no more then he needeth? |
A13202 | This being so, how dooth Pauls counsel( Trie al things& c.) make against translations? |
A13202 | Were not the voices of the Prophets in Israel, a manifestation of the spirits intent? |
A13202 | What Lucian could have written more reprochfully& slanderously of the holy scriptures? |
A13202 | What, had not they the † written word of God, for a ground of their religious actions, as well as we have the “ written word? |
A13202 | Where learned the man this logik? |
A13202 | Wherin,( to shew how near he is allyed to those which say,* who is like unto the Beast, who is able to warr with him?) |
A13202 | Who denyes it? |
A13202 | Who ever said before, that men read translations and offred them to God? |
A13202 | Who now can say that the hearers had or used no books in the synagogues? |

A04541 | If then in this I were mistaken, haue I therfore betrayed our cause, or overthrowen the mayne drift of my writings? |
A04541 | If they be such, why should we not for them accordingly censure our members declining therevnto? |
A04541 | If they can not by it or the example of those Churches disproue our testimony, what would it help them or hurt vs, if we answered them no further? |
A04541 | If this be not his meaning, to what purpose is that Scripture alledged, vnles it be to reason against himself,& to shew still his owne foolishnes? |
A04541 | If we erre in practise, is it therefore a false description, or we a false Church? |
A04541 | Is it any other thing then the Christians in the Primitive Churches,& at this day,& in all ages haue ben& may be in divers cases subject vnto? |

A04541 | Now of his hatred& malice against vs& the truth( since he left it) what should I need to speak? |
A04541 | Now reducing our cause to these heads, if it were so that I erred in one of them, is therefore our cause betrayed? |
A04541 | Or if he meane of any that are alive, why gave he not( after his maner) some knowledg who they be? |
A04541 | Or is not this to robbe Christ of his honour? |
A04541 | Or should my particular error, be imputed to the whole Church, or reputed the betraying of our generall cause? |
A04541 | Or should we therefore vse these words onely for our prayers, and no other at all? |
A04541 | Or should we think that the Apostles did not carefully performe the whole worke of the Ministery committed vnto them? |
A04541 | Or that the Apostles having to deale with severall sorts of persons& occasions, did diversly cary themselves according therevnto? |
A04541 | Or that they did not witnesse the truth notwithstanding faithfully even vnto death? |
A04541 | Or to keep alwayes a set forme of words for our prayer to God? |
A04541 | Or when Paul taught Timothee that the food of the body is to be sanctified vnto vs by prayer, should he not think likewise of the food of the soule? |

A04541 | Or whether any may receive or ioyne vnto another devised by man, for the service of God? |
A04541 | Shall we therefore admit of their errors, or vnderstand those Scriptures, as they would have vs? |

A04541 | Should we therefore conclude that they betrayed their own cause? |
A04541 | The Churches of Asia and Achaia erred greatly in their practise, were they not therefore true Churches according to the said description? |
A04541 | The sinne and sinner being bound in heaven ▪ how may the cause be submitted to men on earth? |

A04541 | and the rest to be fit receivers for such reporters? |
A04541 | in such maner as we do? |
A04541 | or doth he hold it not to be the Church of Christ? |
A04541 | or that it is by some priviledg not bound to the ordinances of Christ? |

A26579 | Now where you ask, how then we can deny that to be a true church, wher ● in 〈 ◊ 〉 men are called and brough to God? |
A26579 | Or the Anabaptists at this day? |

A26579 | What sacrament wanted Ieroboam the son of Nebat? |
A26579 | What scripture teacheth vs so? |
A26579 | What weight is there then in thi ● your cavil, that our affliction are by Christian magistrates, therefore out cause is evill? |
A26579 | Who knowes not that the whole land generally is baptised? |
A26579 | Why doe not these men also plead, that God gaue a law by Moses? |
A26579 | Wil they say that this also was utterly untrue? |
A26579 | Will you therefore call Christ ● a ● ity into question for it? |
A26579 | Would any vnmercifull man haue dealt so with his bondslaue in a case of bodily sicknes? |

A26579 | and a teach them to come from among them? |

A26579 | and persons,* iudge ye what I sa ●? |
A26579 | and send them a broad; must all people that see or hear them, wil they nil they, needs be counted professors of that religion? |
A26579 | and til they haue done all that possible can be done for our healing, how dare they forsake vs? |
A26579 | and what haue we more then Christ ordeyned? |
A26579 | and where find you in the scriptures such matter for Gods howse? |
A26579 | and why doth not Mat, 15, 9. and 23, 16 17,& c. shew what is taught there also? |
A26579 | and yet continue atheists and profane as before? |

A69195 | And did not every Minister when he was made a Minister, binde him selfe by a solemne vowe to preache the worde? |
A69195 | And how then cometh it to passe( ceremonies having hitherto ben vpheld by your Lordlines) that your Lordlines should not now stande but by ceremonies? |
A69195 | And if God did never ordeine such signes; then we demand, what authoritie man hath to ordeine such signes? |
A69195 | And what, if we saide fourthly, in token? |
A69195 | And whether shee also be not from the earth, and of this world? |
A69195 | And whetherye, and they bee not all sonnes vnto one Father, and servants vnto one Lord? |
A69195 | And who is able, to rayse thē vp though for a tyme they be downe? |
A69195 | And yet many such have you disquieted? |
A69195 | But 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? |
A69195 | Can be sayd, not to doe so, and lykwise to the brydgrome, as the mynions of the whore, doe to their Idole? |
A69195 | For 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? |
A69195 | For how should their originall bee of ancient integritie, when they had beginning, not from the will of God, but from the witt of man? |
A69195 | For 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? |
A69195 | For is it not? |
A69195 | For to the poynt in question, what resolution is that? |
A69195 | For who shall be Iudge of Evangelicall decencie and order, if not the Church and Christian Magistrate alone? |
A69195 | Nay, what a thinge is this? |
A69195 | Nay, which is more, What a thing is this? |
A69195 | No ceremonie, no Bishop: no Bishop, no King? |
A69195 | Or was it not possible for your Synod, to have vsed their iudgement, but to the perill of the soules of their brethren? |
A69195 | See, see, what a dalliance is this in a matter of so high a qualitie, and touching the dignitie,& preheminence of so excellent a person? |
A69195 | That is true indeed( say wee) if a Minister by the vse of such a garment should not sinne? |
A69195 | We demand( we say) whether these three graces, be not all,& every of them, inward, invisible and spirituall graces, yea or no? |
A69195 | Well bee it so? |
A69195 | What Sirs? |
A69195 | What fellowship hath righteousnes with vnrighteousnes? |
A69195 | What? |
A69195 | What? |
A69195 | What? |
A69195 | When were any ministers by publike authoritie, called, as it were, into open field, to stand vpon arguments and weight of reason? |
A69195 | Whether God wil be honored, according to mans fantasie, or rather doth not detest, whatsoever is not grounded vpon his worde? |
A69195 | Whether any thing can be acceptable in the sight of God, which he never required at our handes? |
A69195 | Whether the beautie of this great whore stand not in outwarde pompe of apparell, and outward shewes, after the manner of a strumpett? |
A69195 | Whether this outward pompe of apparell and shewes of impudency consist not partly in Copes, Surplices, Crosses, and such like trashe? |
A69195 | Whē was it appointed by publike authoritie, that any ministers should answere, and that Archbishops& Bishops should oppose? |
A69195 | Why then, by your Lordships favour, we demand, vnto whom this reverence is yealded, and vnto what thing this conformitie is proportioned? |
A69195 | Why then, by your Lordships favour, wee demaund, whether the church doe serve God, or doe but please her selfe, in that her cōmandment? |
A69195 | Why, Sirs? |
A69195 | Yea 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? |
A69195 | and a shaven chinne for an Archdeacon? |
A69195 | and men very obedient( this one thing excepted) to all authoritie? |
A69195 | and peaceable among their neighbours? |
A69195 | and what agreement hath the temple of God, with Idolls? |
A69195 | and without which necessary and propheticall garment, it was not lawfull for them to prophesie? |
A69195 | as if you should have layde the whole blame vpon the King, and have spoken thus: No ceremonious King, no ceremonious Bishop? |
A69195 | because of the commandement? |
A69195 | but to put occasions of falling and of stumbling, before their brethren? |
A69195 | can be said to have no concord with beliall? |
A69195 | can bee saide, not to take vpon her hande, vpon her forehead, or vpon her backe, the marke of the beast? |
A69195 | did ever any Preacher( we praye you) when hee was made a Minister, bind him selfe by a solemne vowe to weare a ministeriall garment? |
A69195 | do you approve of a white lynen table- cloth to cover the communion table, and do you disallow a white lynen Surplice? |
A69195 | for by what arte can you frame this your proposition vpon the Apostles foundation? |
A69195 | men of good reputation for learning? |
A69195 | no agreement with an Idoll? |
A69195 | no parte with an infidell? |
A69195 | not from the Well of life, but from the pitt of death? |
A69195 | of honest conversation? |
A69195 | or not to doe so, and lykewise, to God, as the papists doe to the devill? |
A69195 | or what coherence hath your proposition with this rule? |
A69195 | or 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? |
A69195 | that the ministers should be defendants, and the Bishops plaintifes? |
A69195 | to execute the rites and ceremonies of the Kinges of Iudah? |
A69195 | what communion hath light with darknes? |
A69195 | what concord hath Christ with Beliall, or what parte hath the beleever with the infidell? |
A69195 | what, no thing at all? |
A69195 | what? |
A69195 | when they were not pure, but corrupt,& therefore without integritie? |
A69195 | why then Sirs, you would belike have vs pull downe our Churches, our Oratories and our Chappell''s? |
A69195 | would you then have vs, to have no manner of agreement, concord, or communion, with the Papistes with the Beast, or with the great whore? |
A27068 | 24.45, 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? |
A27068 | All human actions have their faults: must we therefore do nothing, or converse with no men? |
A27068 | All this is setled by Law, and all Ministers subscribe to it: And is not this enough to the essence of a Pastors office? |
A27068 | And I pray you what alters the case, as to the Parish- Churches? |
A27068 | And are all sinners therefore for hearing him? |
A27068 | And doth not the Law and Church lay more of this on the Incumbents, than the Diocesans( who are not U ● iquitaries)? |
A27068 | And doth not this say as much as I am pleading for? |
A27068 | And doth separating from the whole visible church- communion agree with the prophecies and precepts of union? |
A27068 | And doth that satisfie you? |
A27068 | And have men reason to be confident that our preaching will be more sounder than our writing? |
A27068 | And is it not enough? |
A27068 | And is it not exposing christianity to the scorn of infidels, so to say? |
A27068 | And is it not then a sin to be my hearer? |
A27068 | And now wherein is our Rule, false and theirs true? |
A27068 | And on whom doth the Law most impose it? |
A27068 | And that watch for their Souls as those that must give account? |
A27068 | And what doth the Diocesan in it, more than any one of the rest? |
A27068 | And what if it be dependent on the Diocesan, as governour( tho not as destroyer)? |
A27068 | And what law forbids Incumbents to promulgate Christs commands, and charge men to obey them? |
A27068 | And what then, if your Schism prove a Sin? |
A27068 | And what''s London to all England? |
A27068 | And when you cut off your self from all, saving a shred, are you a Member of the undivided Body of Christ? |
A27068 | And who doth most of that work? |
A27068 | And who doth this most in all the Churches? |
A27068 | And who most doth this work among us? |
A27068 | And why can such a Law any more bind me to judg of Church- constitutions by the Lawmakers words, rather than by Gods Word? |
A27068 | And why must the Parish Church and Pastor needs be Independent? |
A27068 | And yet not if a Pastor or a ruling Majority of people injoin it, or unless we leave all to confusion? |
A27068 | Are not Churches formally relative societies; what maketh them such, but thoughts and wills of men expressed? |
A27068 | Are not your private Churches more unquestionably Excommunicate,& c. by the Canon, and yet you separate not from them? |
A27068 | Ask the parishes who those be? |
A27068 | Before them that never knew them, nor could do? |
A27068 | But 1. why do the same men accuse me for perswading men to avoid sufferings, as they think, by ill means? |
A27068 | But Christ had twelve Apostles, and 70, or 72 other Teachers, and many more Disciples; Were these no Church, nor matter for a Church? |
A27068 | But here our Disputants think they expose me to derision: What? |
A27068 | But none of the things are indeed Worship, which you say men may command? |
A27068 | But the great doubt is, who hath the Power of Government, and who actually governs,( not by the sword) but with the Ministerial Pastoral Government? |
A27068 | But 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? |
A27068 | But what is the false Rule? |
A27068 | But what words be they in the Covenant that we violate? |
A27068 | But whether the Law be on their side, or against them? |
A27068 | Can I think that he will not preach as ill as he writeth in this book? |
A27068 | Can he do as Ignatius''s Bishops, that must take notice of all the Church, even Servants and Maids? |
A27068 | Can there be a higher exercise of the Keys? |
A27068 | Can you see but on one side? |
A27068 | Confirmation another? |
A27068 | Could he have leave constantly to teach there, if he had there used to cry down their ordinary worship? |
A27068 | Did he not ord ● narily joyn in the Synagogues in their worsh ● p? |
A27068 | Did he the whole office of a pastor: What if the Bishop had forbid him to sing ● salms? |
A27068 | Did not Gods Law make it unlawful to them, or to us before? |
A27068 | Do Diocesans teach from house to house, from Southwark to Christ- Church, from N ● wark to Alesbury or Tame? |
A27068 | Do I intimate that one and the same Congregation, may be two Churches of different species? |
A27068 | Do not men use to deliberate more, and study what to write, than what to preach? |
A27068 | Do the fl ● cks see more the Incumbents example, or the Diocesans? |
A27068 | Do you think a Lay Civilian by Excommunicating, can prove or make a man a member of any Church against his will? |
A27068 | Doth it follow, that I must separate from it? |
A27068 | Doth that make him guilty of all? |
A27068 | Doth the Diocesan or the Incumbent more walk as a known example before the Parish flock, for their imitation? |
A27068 | Doth the Law and Church lay more of this on Diocesans ▪ or parish Pastors? |
A27068 | Doth their esteeming you a Member, prove that you are so? |
A27068 | England is one Kingdom; If there be one or many faults in its Laws or officers, may we therefore obey none that are faultless? |
A27068 | Had the Ceremonious Pharisees no ill forms nor ceremonies in their Worship? |
A27068 | Have they de facto, nulled Christs Power, Law ▪ or Offices and Churches? |
A27068 | He had no oth ● r Church? |
A27068 | He that is not in the Church, how comes he to be cast out? |
A27068 | How many private Meetings in London, never sing a Psalm for fear of being discovered? |
A27068 | How oft have I answered this, without any reply? |
A27068 | If the Law had said, All Schools in England shall be essentially subject to Diocesans, must we therefore have had no more Schools? |
A27068 | Is Speaking no part nor accident of worship, because speaking is used in common things? |
A27068 | Is commanded obedience become a sin? |
A27068 | Is eating and drinking no part of the Sacrament, because we use them as natural acts for our daily sustenance? |
A27068 | Is it a sin to have confederacy or Communion with their Churches? |
A27068 | Is it any more destructive of its Essence, than to be governed by a Classis or Council? |
A27068 | Is it only the law? |
A27068 | Is it that Lincoln shire, Leicester- shire, Northamton- shire, Buckingham- shire, be at peace among themselves, from Gainsborough to Oxford- shire? |
A27068 | Is it that they have Steeples and Bells, or that they have Tythes? |
A27068 | Is it the Diocesan or the Incumbent that the law requireth to preach to, and warn every man,& c.? |
A27068 | Is it the Diocesan or the Incumbent? |
A27068 | Is love to God no worship, because love is a natural act? |
A27068 | Is not Baptisme( according to the Liturgy) a symbol of incorporation into the Church of England? |
A27068 | Is not the Church State more concerned in the whole congregation ▪ than in an absent Bishop? |
A27068 | Is not this the next step( and a temptation) to utter infidelity? |
A27068 | Is not this true? |
A27068 | Is praying no act of Religion, because we may pray to men? |
A27068 | Is this done more by the Diocesans, or by the Incumbents? |
A27068 | Is this our running from Popery? |
A27068 | It is their example that sak to them thword of God, that the Apostle sets before them: And who be those? |
A27068 | It''s liker he had been none for resisting John, of the two: Were all degraded that obeyed the Apostles? |
A27068 | Must all forbear Communion till they are so good Lawyers? |
A27068 | Must we needs be sure which of these is in the right? |
A27068 | Must we needs say therefore that they omit all Worship? |
A27068 | Name me, if you can, any thing essential, which all Ministers promise not at Ordination? |
A27068 | No Elders that rule well? |
A27068 | No 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? |
A27068 | Nor of what number, power, or interest these men are of( against whom I have oft written)? |
A27068 | Now at last I come closer to my question: Have you no Church Rulers among you? |
A27068 | Now the question is, how any of these subordinate rules are just or false? |
A27068 | Nulled it by a Nullity of pretended Authority, and overcome his Power without Power? |
A27068 | On whom doth the law impose most preaching? |
A27068 | Or if the School- master subscribe to them, is it a sin to be his Scholar? |
A27068 | Or if there be any fault in any one of all these books, is every one guilty of them that cometh to the churches? |
A27068 | Or to go to any negligent person of his Flock with the same charge? |
A27068 | Or who can make an unknown man his pattern? |
A27068 | Q. VVhat? |
A27068 | Shall we sin if the Law impose a Translation, Psalm Book, or reverent gesture, unless we separate? |
A27068 | That they make us to be no true Ministers or Churches? |
A27068 | The Diocesan in all the Parishes of his Diocesse, or the Incumbents? |
A27068 | The Laws are the Rule of National Justice; may a Judg, Justice, Officer or subject use none of them, because some are faulty? |
A27068 | They 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? |
A27068 | Those ● ld Nonconformists that did so, are no presidents to 〈 ◊ 〉; If they halted and were lame, must we be so? |
A27068 | VVho can observe his example whom he never saw nor know? |
A27068 | Was 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? |
A27068 | Was this church like a grain of Mustard seed in its growth? |
A27068 | What difference but conceit and consent? |
A27068 | What if Rebaptizing prove a Sin? |
A27068 | What if a Law said, All people shall worship God, not because the Scripture commandeth it, but because the State commands it? |
A27068 | What if all this be true? |
A27068 | What if it be poor men or women that can not buy all these books? |
A27068 | What if the Covenant descri ● ed by your Client,( to obey none but Christ, in matters belonging to Worship) prove a Sin? |
A27068 | What if the Law should say, The Pastoral Office is not of Divine Right, but humane, must the office therefore be renounced? |
A27068 | What is meant by[ among themselves?] |
A27068 | What is meant by[ changing it, de facto?] |
A27068 | What is the Reason? |
A27068 | What is this to the Text? |
A27068 | What? |
A27068 | Where hath the Gospel extensively much prospered where Princes and Rulers were not Christians? |
A27068 | Whether I and such other do well or ill in that communion we hold with the Parish Churches? |
A27068 | Whether there be not a sort of Diocesan Prelacy, which nulleth them? |
A27068 | Who Laboureth among them most in the several parishes, publickly and privately? |
A27068 | Who are most among them? |
A27068 | Who doth the Law most require it of? |
A27068 | Who doth the law appoint to warn every one in the Church, from house to house, and night and day,& c.? |
A27068 | Who is it that preacheth most for the Conversion of the rest, Atheists, Sadduces, Infidels, Hereticks, Bruitists, and impious ones? |
A27068 | Who most admonisheth them? |
A27068 | Whom doth the Law require to do more in feeding and guiding the flock? |
A27068 | Why may it not suffice to know Christs Law, and to profess to obey it, and to do nothing against it willingly? |
A27068 | Will you have no Communion with Presbyterians? |
A27068 | Would not almost all rather turn Papists, than believe this? |
A27068 | Would this make it unlawful to worship God? |
A27068 | Yea, how many seldom read a Chapter, but only preach and pray, and sometime administer the Sacrament? |
A27068 | Yea, 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? |
A27068 | and are we indeed of the same mind? |
A27068 | and 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? |
A27068 | and is it the Diocesan or they that use it by baptizing? |
A27068 | and shall we now justifie them and say as they( tho not on the same Reason, but for a far smaller difference)? |
A27068 | and what if they can not read? |
A27068 | and whether had he then lived, he should have separated from all the Churches on earth? |
A27068 | and who else is capable of doing this in Parishes that have multitudes of ungodly persons? |
A27068 | are they all guilty of all these, and such others? |
A27068 | nor no Independents, whose Churches having many Pastors and Elders, no one exerciseth( no nor hath) more than part of the power? |
A27068 | or is it not rather that neighbour Christians that see each other, so live in peace? |
A27068 | or is it the Incumbents? |
A27068 | or on parish Priests? |
A27068 | or 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? |
A27068 | part, to receive all the offerings of the Communicants, and all the tythes and first fruits,& c. Who doth this most? |
A27068 | receiving the Lords Supper another symbol? |
A27068 | that is a stranger to them? |
A27068 | that never saw them, or the Incumbent that layeth out all his Study and Time on them? |
A27068 | that never seeth the most, nor ever preacheth to one Flock of many? |
A27068 | was this communion more lawful or laudable than with honest parish Ministers in the Liturgy? |
A27068 | what greater omission or defect is there in many Parish- Churches? |
A27068 | whom 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? |
A19569 | 1 Why the bastards of christians are baptizable? |
A19569 | 1 themselves? |
A19569 | 2 How hee useth and exerciseth it? |
A19569 | 2 What benefit he can have from it? |
A19569 | 3 VVhat separation Gods word will warrant from such receivers? |
A19569 | A thiefe hath got a true mans purse, may not Justice deliver it to him againe, and leave the thiefe to his Judge and punishment? |
A19569 | And are not our Deacons such? |
A19569 | And are not these true Ministers that doe thus? |
A19569 | And are wee in the church of England such? |
A19569 | And by whom should wee be ordained but by such? |
A19569 | And doe wee and all these saints before us set up images to our selves in these ceremonies, for religious u ● e? |
A19569 | And have not Presbyters chosen clarkes, synodically to meete, to make rul ● s and Canons for them? |
A19569 | And is it not thus with our Ministery? |
A19569 | And is not this Justice? |
A19569 | And on that day, shall our forsakers escape scotfree? |
A19569 | And that this is provided for members, is certaine; For( saith Paul) what have I to doe to judge those that are without? |
A19569 | And the question is not, whether bastards in generall are baptizable? |
A19569 | And 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? |
A19569 | And wh ● t must they bee taught? |
A19569 | And what doe our Bishops more then thus? |
A19569 | And what if we be so called in our ordination? |
A19569 | And what meanes are they? |
A19569 | And who are these? |
A19569 | And why should any bee offended at that name by which the holy Ghost calls us? |
A19569 | And why so? |
A19569 | Are not our Church- wardens, and overseers the same for substance of office, if they would be also alwaies the same for conscience? |
A19569 | Are not these things permitted to them and us? |
A19569 | Are they not members of a Church in the outward covenant of christianity as well as others? |
A19569 | Because they consent with us in doing of our good, doe wee therefore consent with them in doing their evill? |
A19569 | Because they may( if they will) accuse themselves, will they therefore accuse Christ as if his bounty in our Church were not worth the injoyment? |
A19569 | Being asked, how they could prove that they onely were the church? |
A19569 | Besides, hath not Christ our head, in the use and exercise of these blessings manifested his effectuall power? |
A19569 | Besides, must they not confesse that that one church of the nation of Jewes was governed: by one law, and one king? |
A19569 | But am I not deceived? |
A19569 | But are not all christians separated thus as well as they, from Iewes, Turkes, Heathens? |
A19569 | But for all this, why should wee not have a true ministery? |
A19569 | But for the Table gesture, will they have all other formalities, at a Table, fit for the Table of the Lord? |
A19569 | But how farre hath she cut her selfe off? |
A19569 | But is it certaine that the people have such a right in calling their Presbyters? |
A19569 | But is it therefore unlawfull for the people to say after their leader when hee prompteth them, or they are taught by the Church? |
A19569 | But is the sinne of separation so great, that it should be punished more then blasphemy, perjury, whoring, drunkennesse, say they? |
A19569 | But let us take a viewe of the particulars, and see whether it be so or no, and how far? |
A19569 | But may they not rather thus dispute? |
A19569 | But put case it were fully true, were wee not therefore true ministers? |
A19569 | But put case they could not make such aclaime, if there be the office, shall we quarrell about the names? |
A19569 | But say the Brownists, doth profession make a church of the body of Christ? |
A19569 | But say, I pray: Is their sin properly against faith or manners? |
A19569 | But they say, can uncleane bastards be the seed of the believing? |
A19569 | But thirdly, say the Brownists, what is that to us? |
A19569 | But were it not very harsh to say they are infidels? |
A19569 | But what answer they? |
A19569 | But what doe they assume? |
A19569 | But what have Christians to doe here, if it was the comfort or a Iew against a Iew in private offences? |
A19569 | But what if she be ready to be swallowed up of sorrow? |
A19569 | But what is Christs ordinary way? |
A19569 | But when they spend their time and strength in rectifying disorders as they can by law, shall they have no reward? |
A19569 | But who laid this( must) upon you? |
A19569 | But why should wee grant them this? |
A19569 | But yet( say they) grant all this true, yet are there divers exceptions against our Bishops? |
A19569 | But( say the Brownists) wherein stands this office of Kings in the Church, and over the members of it? |
A19569 | But( say they) hath not God given every good Christian a spirit of supplication, by which they have a faculty and power to pray? |
A19569 | But( say they) how can the wicked bee members of the church of Christ, seeing Christ is not their head? |
A19569 | But( say they) what is this kingdome of heaven? |
A19569 | But( say they) where is this to be found? |
A19569 | But( say they) wicked men are dead: and how can dead members bee members of a living body? |
A19569 | But, Lord, how hard is this? |
A19569 | By Robert Abbot... Abbot, Robert, 1588?-1662? |
A19569 | By Robert Abbot... Abbot, Robert, 1588?-1662? |
A19569 | By what authority might they? |
A19569 | Can they not truly say, In Christ Iesus wee have begotten thousands through the Gospel? |
A19569 | Can they therfore justly say, that they must separate from a Church corrupted for want of I governement? |
A19569 | David displeased not Adonjah from his youth, nor said ▪ Why dost thou thus? |
A19569 | Did he now goe against the faithfulnesse of Moses, when he commanded it not? |
A19569 | Did hre not likewise honour God with the solemnity of seven dayes, and seven daies without particular warrant? |
A19569 | Did 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? |
A19569 | Did not Iosiah cause and make his people to stand to his covenant to serve, even to serve the Lord our God? |
A19569 | Did not Manasseh, after hee was come home to God, command Iudah to serve the God of Israel? |
A19569 | Did not Solomon by soveraignety deprive Abiathar, and induct Zadoch, yea and appoint the Priests and Levites to their severall service, as David? |
A19569 | Doe not all the people, as well as the Presbyter pray to God, and praise God in singing Psalmes? |
A19569 | Doe not wee cleave to the onely true God, by knowledge, repentance, faith, feare, love, confidence, joy, thankfulnesse, patience, and adoration? |
A19569 | Doe they consider how thus they take away Baptisme from all men, women, and children? |
A19569 | Doe they doe it by vertue of their generall, or speciall calling? |
A19569 | Doe we not look, from the first, to the last, to bee saved onely by Christ? |
A19569 | Doe we not pray to him knowingly, faithfully, zealously, penitently, and obediently desiring to be made better? |
A19569 | Doe we not preach and heare his word carefully, and reverently, desiring to know, and doe? |
A19569 | Doe we not worship in spirit, when the spirit moves towards heaven as well as the flesh? |
A19569 | Doe 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? |
A19569 | Doe wee not pr ● fesse saving truth? |
A19569 | Doe 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? |
A19569 | Doe wee not worship in truth, when our petitions are true petitions, uttered with a true tongue according to the truth of our hearts? |
A19569 | Doth he not say, Hee shall live, his sinnes shall not be mentioned unto him? |
A19569 | Doth he not say, If they turne from all their iniquities, and keepe all my Statutes? |
A19569 | Doth he not say, if the wicked will turne? |
A19569 | Doth not Christ himselfe so expound it in opening the parable of the tares? |
A19569 | First 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? |
A19569 | First, that the Church is a company of true beleevers whō God bath chosen to eternall life; which Church I pray? |
A19569 | For doe but consider 1 Wherein Christs headship stands? |
A19569 | For have not the people chosen knights, and Burgesses to draw up, and to consent to lawes for them? |
A19569 | For 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? |
A19569 | For let me aske, doth a vaste sinne so cut off from Christ, that it doth unchristian a man or woman? |
A19569 | For what fellowship hath righteousnesse with unrighteousnesse, and what agreement hath light with darknesse? |
A19569 | God purposed him the blessing: and though hee got not the possession the right way, shall his purpose faile? |
A19569 | Had not the members of our reforming church this knowledge? |
A19569 | Hath not the Gospel beene the power of God by it to many that have beleeved it? |
A19569 | Have I not lived like thy servant, though with much sensible weakenesse? |
A19569 | Have they not read of taking the members of Christ, and making them the members of an harlot? |
A19569 | Have they not read of the seedes of faith, in such? |
A19569 | Have we not by thy Name prophecied, and by thy Name cast out Devils? |
A19569 | Have wee a spirit better than the Disciples of Christ? |
A19569 | Have wee not( thorough grace) the word of God, gifts, ministery, and sacraments from Christs rule? |
A19569 | Have yee had a care to keepe a Christian state to CHRISTS honour? |
A19569 | Have yee loved publicke assemblies to that end and use? |
A19569 | Have yee not forsaken the assemblies of CHRISTS people for no just cause? |
A19569 | How are we yet guilty of the sinnes of others to our pollution? |
A19569 | How can they pray in spirit( say they) when they use him not? |
A19569 | How many assemblies wee have neglected? |
A19569 | How many have exhorted us, and wee have not answered and followed? |
A19569 | How many in our power wee have not exhorted? |
A19569 | How many iniquities are subdued, and sinnes cast into the depthes of the sea? |
A19569 | How many wee have prophaned, in being no better? |
A19569 | How many wicked members were in the only church of God in Christs time; yet he separates not from it as a false church? |
A19569 | How soon is this streame dryed up, because men live not with Christ the spring- head? |
A19569 | How then can it be imagined that wee should not have a true worship? |
A19569 | How wee use the signe of the crosse? |
A19569 | I am sure, that neither Israel, nor Christ, nor his Apostles did so? |
A19569 | I 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? |
A19569 | I pray is not this the full sense of the Prophet; made speake to ordinary capacity, if not his words? |
A19569 | I wonder what they would have done, if they had lived in the times of the Judges, when every man did what hee listed? |
A19569 | I ● not, why must this alone be fit, when Christ hath no said so? |
A19569 | If any professe they know God, and by workes deny him, yet shall not all things be pure to them that are pure? |
A19569 | If secondly, you aske what benefit this wicked man can have by this sacrament? |
A19569 | If 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? |
A19569 | If these men had gold and silver mingled with durt, and poyson, would they cry out, all durt, all poyson, and worke for more? |
A19569 | If they did not signifie, how could they edifie? |
A19569 | If they may preach, why may they not administer the sacraments, seeing both goe together? |
A19569 | If they were pressed to conformity by the authority of the Emperour, they cried out, what hath the Emperour to doe with the church? |
A19569 | If this charge were true, surely, they might say as David to Eliab, Is there not a cause? |
A19569 | In the secret of our understanding, will, affections, judgements, consciences, corners, woods, and denns? |
A19569 | In this I finde two questions inwrapt in one: whether bastards are baptizable? |
A19569 | Indeed we have not Prophets, Apostles, and proper Evangelists: but have we not Past ● rs and teachers? |
A19569 | Iohn did onely write to the Church about it: And are these wiser then they? |
A19569 | Is Moses unfaithfull? |
A19569 | Is his ● eamelesse coate to bee rent in sunder because some of those about him have cast some spots upon it? |
A19569 | Is it not lawfull for good Princes in reforming to follow these examples? |
A19569 | Is it not the world? |
A19569 | Is it so contemptible a name which is put upon all Christians, both kings and beggars? |
A19569 | Is not that a true Church which enters covenant with mee, as all the Christians in the World by entring into my schoole by Baptisme? |
A19569 | Is 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? |
A19569 | Is not this equivalent to at what time soever, whether to day, to morrow, or whensoever? |
A19569 | Is there no spirit but our owne? |
A19569 | It is a brave thing to rule, and who would not doe so? |
A19569 | It is their owne, as Nabal said, why should they give it to others? |
A19569 | It 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? |
A19569 | Lastly they aske, what danger is it if bastards should bee unbaptized till they are of yeares? |
A19569 | Lord, what have I done? |
A19569 | Next, consider in the question, the duty of these persons, whether they ought to stay bastards from baptisme? |
A19569 | Now whereas they aske, whether all children, or some have right? |
A19569 | Put case Timothy and Titus were Bishops, yet were they not such as ours, that is Diocesan Bishops, what then? |
A19569 | Put case all these were true: were this a sufficient cause of separation? |
A19569 | Put case they had the authority of a judge( which is false heere) may a judge hang a thiefe before his trial? |
A19569 | Put case this great plea were true at first, yet may not an after mending of what was first amisse, rectifie and confirme all? |
A19569 | Put case we had no power to purge wicked livers, must they presently say, Depart from me, I am holier than thou? |
A19569 | Put case wee had not power to remove scandals, must they therefore separate? |
A19569 | Quid Imperatori cū ecclesia? |
A19569 | Say I pray; which of our members doe not thus readily professe? |
A19569 | Shall wee make God an harder master? |
A19569 | Shall wee not have the church to apply her power of mitigating indulgence? |
A19569 | Should they not live? |
A19569 | Some 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? |
A19569 | Surely, if they heare and consent unto it( though in hypocrisie) God accounts them in covenant, and then who shall deny them to be members? |
A19569 | Take 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? |
A19569 | That all our members entred not upon knowledge, is false; were they in planting from no church, or in reforming from a corrupt church? |
A19569 | The Scripture speakes not of any other particular quantity but the tenth part, what therfore else can satisfie conscience that it erre not? |
A19569 | The argument is imperfect: for what if bastards bee such as whose parents are unknowne? |
A19569 | The best prayers are those that are delivered in Gods words: and are our spirits stinted because we tye our selves to Gods words? |
A19569 | The danger of injustice at large, in withholding a right from them: yea, may I not call it sacriledge? |
A19569 | Then, I pray, tell me( say they) the reason of two things; why ungodly men are not cast out? |
A19569 | Therefore our Ministery having done thus, are not these true Ministers? |
A19569 | These 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? |
A19569 | They answer here what if there be no difference put? |
A19569 | They have deserved worse, Hell, will they refuse the seale of a pardon from a wicked Priest? |
A19569 | They say first, that Bastards and their parents are all infidels: what? |
A19569 | This is true, but to whom? |
A19569 | To remember Gods benefits is commanded: but for Mordecai and the Iewes to doe it by the Feast of Purim, who hath required it? |
A19569 | To the first, whether Bastards are baptizable? |
A19569 | True: but may they not as well prove Timothy to be an Apostle, because hee did the worke of the Lord as Paul did? |
A19569 | VVhence, I pray, doth this proceed, but from the influence and power of Christ united to us? |
A19569 | What Ministery have you forsaken? |
A19569 | What is heere but an imposing an oath upon a man to accuse, or excuse himselfe? |
A19569 | What is this but repent from the bottome of the heart, and leave no root of bitternesse behind? |
A19569 | What is this to our church? |
A19569 | What matters it then for names, if wee can agree in other things? |
A19569 | What new scripture hath ever Christ made for this confusion? |
A19569 | What then, is the want in our entrance, which doth make us no true church? |
A19569 | What though some submitted out of feare of power? |
A19569 | What 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? |
A19569 | What worship have you forsaken? |
A19569 | What? |
A19569 | Where is their charity? |
A19569 | Who 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? |
A19569 | Who doth not desire salvation? |
A19569 | Who doubts but the perswasions of others may draw men to Christ or his followers to bee informed in good wayes? |
A19569 | Who doubts of Aquilas and Priscillas taking Apollos( a man mighty in the Scriptures) and making him understand the wayes of Christ better? |
A19569 | Why not( say the Brownists?) |
A19569 | Why se ● formes are prescribed ministers? |
A19569 | Why then may not the grave assembly of the seventy elders be called a church? |
A19569 | Why( say they) should they appropriate to themselvs this name of Bishops, which belongs to all other Pastours as well as to them? |
A19569 | Why, what is the matter? |
A19569 | Why? |
A19569 | Will it grieve any man to see Christians to worship their God in an humble, comely, and reverend way? |
A19569 | Yea but( say they) doe we not see more abominations yet? |
A19569 | Yet 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? |
A19569 | and doe wee know what will stint them better than Christ? |
A19569 | and how farre? |
A19569 | and how is that? |
A19569 | and where is these mens charities? |
A19569 | and why in the Christian Church have susceptors( or God- fathers) beene appointed for them, to undertake for their education? |
A19569 | have I not laboured in thy vineyard with all my strength? |
A19569 | have J not taught thy truth by taking heede to reading and doctrine? |
A19569 | have the people, all the members, power of jurisdiction over all? |
A19569 | may not they binde their people some way, by oath, bond, subscription, or taking, and giving hands for better performance of duties of religion? |
A19569 | may not we be called so as ministers, as well as we, and they too as Christians? |
A19569 | nor was Ishmael the generation of Abraham that loved God, though in that act( out of ignorāce not wholy excusing) Abraham loved him not? |
A19569 | or how can we justly give them that name of Separatists except wee will grant our selves to bee such? |
A19569 | or in our blessed Saviours time, when so many schismaticks, and sectaries had rule and governement? |
A19569 | or that Christ speaking of little ones, saith, they beleeve in his name? |
A19569 | or will they hold that the act of whoredome doth utterly extinguish baptismall grace in the parents? |
A19569 | shall they not passe a strickt triall and examination? |
A19569 | shall we have nothing but extreamitie? |
A19569 | such as may justifie a separation? |
A19569 | though their parents bee Christians? |
A19569 | to adore God in, or by? |
A19569 | to them that serve him aright, or to them that serve him amisse? |
A19569 | to worship? |
A19569 | was Christ no master when his purse- bearer betrayed him, and the rest of his servants runne away from him? |
A19569 | was it not onely permitted? |
A19569 | were they not still reputed of God as one man, though some were better, and more worse? |
A19569 | were they parish Bishops? |
A19569 | what is this but I will put them or blot them out of my remembrance? |
A19569 | what must they doe? |
A19569 | what place is there, where we shall not find the serpents head broken? |
A19569 | what? |
A19569 | what? |
A19569 | when they governe according to the lawes, and Canons of Church and Common- wealth? |
A19569 | where was the seede of our many hundreds of Martyrs? |
A19569 | who therefore should receive them, but those that are in his stead to beseech you to be reconciled unto God? |
A19569 | who will say that he will not heare God, and do his will? |
A19569 | why may not our good Princes follow those old patternes in reforming? |
A19569 | will hee not love Iacob though hee got the blessing by deceit? |
A19569 | will 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? |
A10835 | 10. and in particular thinks it specially the peoples right to chuse or reiect worthy, or vnworthy Ministers, then which what power is greater? |
A10835 | 11. names idolatours amongst the rest; and will you haue idolaters your brethren, Mr B? |
A10835 | 14. did the women speak? |
A10835 | 14. why might not Mr Barrow affirm theyr Ministery and ministration to be of and by the Divill? |
A10835 | 17. is meant the whole body, of which Christ speaks in the third person: and what say wee more? |
A10835 | 18. and sayth he it not also to the Churches of other nations? |
A10835 | 18. and that Paul should come after, and direct them to account him a brother? |
A10835 | 18. for the reproving& censuring of offenders, and for the binding,& loosing of sinns? |
A10835 | 2. if your Bishops be Pastours, and Teachers by their office, what are you, and the rest of your rank? |
A10835 | 3. graunt it were( as they pretend) with these few parishes, what must be sayd of the rest which did not so practise? |
A10835 | 3. 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? |
A10835 | 311. that, if we receive, and hold our baptism from Rome, why not our ordination also? |
A10835 | 34. did children speak? |
A10835 | 6. and what fellowship sayth Paul, hath righteousnes with vnrighteousnes? |
A10835 | 9. what wil be the end of those spirituall ingrossers and oppressours, if they repent not? |
A10835 | A holy brotherhood it seems you will have, brother idolater, haeretique, and what not? |
A10835 | And are persons graces, Mr Bernard? |
A10835 | And can these things which ly thus in comō to all, be the true properties of the Church? |
A10835 | And 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? |
A10835 | And did not all offerings brought to any other place( without speciall dispensation) stink in his nostrels? |
A10835 | And do these Atheists hold, and professe the true fayth, and every article of Gods holy truth, which is fundamentall? |
A10835 | And do these Churches like sisters go hand in hand together as is pretended? |
