A67763	Who but Adrianus, Emperour of the East, for many yeers?
A67763	Who can be weary?
A67763	Yea, I can wonder at nothing more, then how a Scholar can be idle, or dumpish?
A67763	Yea, have not you found it so?
A67763	Yea, if I may be so bold, were they not Heads under which the whole body groaned?
A67763	Yea, what can a Magistrate do acceptable to the good; but lewd men will misinterpret it?
A67763	Yet, Who am I, sayes he?
A67763	a Supersedeas to sin, and a Protection against the arrest of judgement?
A67763	among all their twelve Tribes?
A67763	and chink to bear off the judgements of God, by vertue of their high places?
A67763	and in the same manner before specified?
A67763	and justle out Gods honour( which should be more deer to Princes then their Crowns and lives) with their own?
A67763	if a guilty conscience do but chide them?
A67763	if deserving, why should he buy that, which( in justice, piety and true policie) is due unto him?
A67763	swarving as much from justice, honesty, and Religion; as a picture does from a man?
A67763	the conscience of knowledge?
A67763	what event doth not challenge our observation?
A67772	An ● how am I served accordingly?
A67772	And are they to be endured everlastingly?
A67772	And indeed, if the gates of the City be of Pearl, and the streets of Gold; what then are the inner rooms, the dining and lodging chambers?
A67772	And now for conclusion: Are the Joys of Heaven so unspeakable and glorious?
A67772	And what makes the difference?
A67772	And what shall I say more?
A67772	And withal lose their part and portion in the Kingdom of Heaven, as the Word of God expresly tells us?
A67772	As consider, If a dark dungeon here be so loathsom, what is that dungeon of eternal, of utter darkness?
A67772	As tell me, Will not their blood be required at your hands, if they perish through your neglect?
A67772	As what says the Apostle?
A67772	As, Dost thou desire beauty, riches, honour, pleasure, long life, or whatever else can be named?
A67772	As, Who would not obtain Heaven at any rate, at any cost or trouble whatsoever?
A67772	But, oh wretched Caitiff that I am; how hath the Devil and my own deceitful and devilish heart deluded me?
A67772	Christ our Redeemer and Elder- brother?
A67772	Dance hoodwinkt into this perdition?
A67772	Do we delight in good company?
A67772	Do you ask what Heaven is?
A67772	FIrst, Is it so, that the torments of Hell are so exquisite?
A67772	For as St. Paul tells us, The heart of man is not able to conceive those joyes; which being so, How should I be able to express them in words?
A67772	For if the brightness of the body shall match the Sun, what will the glory and splendour of the soul be?
A67772	For this incorruptible Crown of Glory in Heaven?
A67772	Fourthly, Is it so?
A67772	Hath Christ done so much for us, and shall we deny him any thing he requireth of us?
A67772	He who brings even idle words to judgment, and forgets not a thought of disobedience, how will he spare our gross negligence and presumption?
A67772	Hearken we unto Christs voice, in all that he saith unto us, without being swayed one way or another, as the most are?
A67772	Hell in Scripture is called a Lake, that burneth with fire and brimstone; and, than the torment of the former, what more acute?
A67772	How does this hang together?
A67772	How glorious and wonderful is the Maker thereof, and the City where he keeps his Court?
A67772	How is it that we are not more affected therewith?
A67772	How sweet then shall our knowledge in heaven be?
A67772	How then should we admire the love and bounty of God, and bless his Name, who for the performance of so small a work, hath proposed so great a Reward?
A67772	How will it end?
A67772	How wouldst thou toss and tumble, and turn from one side to another?
A67772	If material fire be so terrible, what is Hell- fire?
A67772	If the earnest penny be so precious and promising here; What shall the principal, and full crop and harvest of happiness in Heaven be?
A67772	If then the beginning and first fruits of it be so sweet, what shall the fulness of that beatifical Vision of God be?
A67772	In whom there is nothing but amiable, comfortable, delectable?
A67772	It will put thee to a demur, What have I done?
A67772	Now consider, Is one hours twitche of the worm of conscience here?
A67772	Now what heart would not bleed, to see men run headlong into those tortures that are thus intolerable?
A67772	Oh that men would believe the God of truth( that can not lye) touching spiritual and eternal things, but as they do these temporary and transitory?
A67772	Or in case we have peace of conscience, alas, how often is it interrupted with anguish of spirit?
A67772	Or that light from whence it receives its light?
A67772	SEcondly, Are the Joys of Heaven so unspeakable and glorious?
A67772	The Angels and Saints our Comforts and Companions?
A67772	The holy Ghost our Comforter?
A67772	Then wilt thou say, O that I had been more wise, or that I were now to begin my life again; then would I contemn the world with all its vanities?
A67772	What am I now aabout?
A67772	What is a thousand years?
A67772	What is eternity of hell torments?
A67772	What little enough to do, to obtain eternity?
A67772	What pleasure shall we take in the company of Saints and Angels?
A67772	What then can be more equal, then that thou shouldst suffer everlastingly?
A67772	What then will it be to lie in flames of fire?
A67772	What though it be usual with men, to have no sense of their souls till they must leave their bodies?
A67772	What will it be to enjoy the immediate presence, and glory of God our Father?
A67772	What''s a Fetter to a Dungeon?
A67772	Whether he finds not his joy to be like to the joy of harvest?
A67772	Whether will this course tend?
A67772	While we are here, how many clouds of discontent have we to darken the Sunshine of our Joy?
A67772	Who would not serve a short Apprenticeship in Gods service here, to be made for ever free in glory?
A67772	Will it not be sad to have Children and Servants rise up in judgment against you, and to bring in Evidence at the great Tribunal of Christ?
A67772	Will not this be sad?
A67772	Yea more, is Heaven so unspeakably sweet and delectable, is Hell so unutterably doleful?
A67772	Yea, are all these, and all other pains that can be named put together, but shadows and flea- bitings to it?
A67772	Yea, how can we be thankful enough for so great a blessing?
A67772	Yea, how little, how nothing, are the poor and temporary enjoyments of this life, to those we shall enjoy in the next?
A67772	Yea, how oft do those Russians that deny God at the Tap- house, preach him at the Gallows?
A67772	Yea, is one minutes twitch of a tooth pulling out so unsufferable?
A67772	Yea, what pain can we think too much to suffer?
A67772	Yea, who can utter the sweetness of that peace of Conscience, and spiritual rejoycing in God, which himself hath tasted?
A67772	Yea, who would not be a Philpot for a month, or a Lazarus for a day, or a Stephen for an hour, that he might be in Abrahams bosome for ever?
A67772	a Gallows to Hell- fire?
A67772	and confess that in sincerity of heart, which they oppugned in wantonness?
A67772	how would it charm their mouths, appall their spirits, strike fear and astonishment into their hearts?
A67772	or as men rejoyce when they divide a spoil?
A67772	than the smell of the latter, what more noysome?
A67772	the presence chamber of the great Monarch of Heaven and Earth?
A67772	the torments of Hell so woful and dolorous?
A67772	those delights and pleasures, that are reserved for the glorified Saints, and Gods dearest darlings in heaven?
A67772	what then may we think of the maker and builder thereof?
A67781	14 and indeed if they are spiritually discerned, how should they descern them that have not the spirit?
A67781	15. to the hardning of many in their Atheism, and Unbelief: For what should hinder?
A67781	Again, Fifthly, how does lust blinde and besot men?
A67781	Again, If it be asked, Why the natural man perceiveth not the things of the spirit of God?
A67781	And in another place; Know ye not, that the amity of the world, is the enmity of God?
A67781	And what greater folly?
A67781	And what is the cause they acknowledg not the same now, but their blindness and folly?
A67781	And what is the summa totalis of all but this?
A67781	Are not these so many infallible properties of a fool?
A67781	As how often is that spent upon one Christmas revelling by the son, which was forty years a getting by the Father?
A67781	BUt would these men( any one, even the best of them) thus improve, or imploy their knowledge?
A67781	Besides, if these great knowers know so little, how ignorant are the rude rabble, that despise all knowledge?
A67781	Briefly, how oft doth wisdom without grace prove like a fair estate in the hands of a sool, which not seldom becomes the owners ruine?
A67781	But If you would know how to call them, they are properly subtle persens?
A67781	But Sixthly, what can we think of an improvident Gamester?
A67781	But how shall a man know, whether he hath this knowledge?
A67781	But what can the Prince of darknesse propound?
A67781	But why?
A67781	Did our Saviour Christ forbear to heal on the Sabbath day, because the Scribes and Pharisees took it ● ll?
A67781	Fourthly, what think you of common Idolaters?
A67781	How could hee other then thinke, if lust had not blinded and bewitched him?
A67781	How did they shake him off in that pittiful distresse, with look thou to it?
A67781	How the heat of the stomach, and the strength of the nether chap should be so great?
A67781	How the waters should stand upon a heap, and yet not over- flow the earth?
A67781	If Idolaters will need set up a false god for the true, is it not equal, that the true God should give them over to the false?
A67781	In the last place, Are not all wilfull sinners arrant fools?
A67781	Is it not a dear purchase?
A67781	Is it not the manner of thousands with us?
A67781	Kill the Child in the womb, and never hurt the Mother?
A67781	Or do they desire it to any such end?
A67781	Or that Germain Clow ●, who under- took to be very ready in the ten Commandments: but being demanded by the Minister which was the first?
A67781	Paul a polluter of the Temple?
A67781	Seventhly, let me refer it to any rational man, whether the Voluptuous Prodigal is not a stark Fool?
A67781	She whose body is mercenary to me, will easily fell me to others?
A67781	Steven a destroyer of the Law?
A67781	Tell me, wherewith thou mayest be bound to do thee hurt?
A67781	That think the vowed enemy of their souls, can offer them a bait without a hook?
A67781	They set their mouths against heaven, and are like an unruly Jade, that being full fed kicks at his Master; what course doth the Lord take with them?
A67781	Thirdly, are the one regenerate, the other carnall?
A67781	To have as expert a tongue, and as quick a memory as Portius; a perfect understanding, great science, profound eloquence, a sweet stile?
A67781	To have the force of Demosthenes, the depth of Thesius, the perswasive art of Tully,& c. if withal he wants Grace, and lives remissely?
A67781	VVhat cause have we then to blesse the giver?
A67781	Was it not an a gu ● ● nt that Haman was blinde?
A67781	Was not Ahab blinde?
A67781	Was not the wisdome of the Serpent turned into a curse?
A67781	Was there ever such a motion made to a reasonable man?
A67781	We fools thought his life madnesse, and his end to be without honour: How is he now numbred with the children of God, and his lot among the Saints?
A67781	Were not the Jews, Scribes& Pharisees blind, who could see more unlawfulness in the Disciples plucking a few ears of Corn on the sabbath- day?
A67781	What communion between light and darknesse?
A67781	What hath pride profited us?
A67781	What is the notional sweetness of Honey, to the experimental taste of it?
A67781	What saith Aristotle?
A67781	What saith Pharaoh to his deep Counsellors?
A67781	What saith our Saviour?
A67781	What sayes Aristotle?
A67781	When Christ taught in the Temple, they asked, Hovv knovveth this man the Scriptures, seeing he never learned them?
A67781	Who would not have spurned such a sutor out of doors?
A67781	Why a flash of lightening should melt the sword without making any impression in the scabbard?
A67781	Why is this cast away, saith Iudas?
A67781	Why the Loadstone should draw iron, or incline to the pole- star?
A67781	Why the clouds above being heavie with water, should not fall to the earth suddenly, seeing every heavy thing descendeth?
A67781	Will the Merchant be discouraged because his wine pleaseth not a sicke mans palate?
A67781	With the Astronomer, to observe the motions of the heavens; while his heart is buried in the earth?
A67781	With the Historian, to know what others have done, and how they have sped; while he neglecteth the imitation of such, as are gone the right way?
A67781	With the Law- maker, to set down many Lawes in particular, and not to remember the common Law of nature, or Law general that all must die?
A67781	Yea, how little was Judas set by of the High Priests, when once he had served their turn?
A67781	Yea, how severely will they censure, not only things indifferent, but the most holy and approved good duties in the godly?
A67781	Yea, what a deale of paines and care does the covetous man take for his own damnation?
A67781	Yea, when it was said of Phocian and Demosthenes, that they could never agree; it was answered, No, how should they?
A67781	Yea, will they not more deeply censure our serving of God, then their own blaspheming of him?
A67781	an ill penni- worth?
A67781	and be themselves the greatest of sinners, then our Saviour to be in company with sinners?
A67781	and the Palsie man''s carrying his bed; then in their own devouring of Widows houses?
A67781	are not they arrant fools?
A67781	but they are grosly mistaken: for wherein does this their great wisdom consist?
A67781	could not Paul shew as much cunning as Tertullus?
A67781	is not he a Fool?
A67781	not that there is a deficiency of power in the godly, but will: for could not David go as far as Achitophel?
A67781	or what good hath our riches and our vaunting brought us?
A67781	the one Christs friends, the other his enemies?
A67781	the one children of light, and of the day, the other blinde and in darknesse?
A67781	the one of this world, the other chosen out of it?
A67781	the wisdome of Achitophel into folly?
A67781	the wisdome of Jezabel, into a shameful death?
A67781	the wisdome of Nimrod into confusion?
A67781	the wisdome of the Pharisees into a woe?
A67781	the wisdome of the unjust Steward into expulsion out of Heaven?
A67781	this divine and supernatural wisdom?
A67781	to have the theory,& be able to prattle of wisdom by rote; yet not know what it is by effect and experience?
A67781	to search out the cause of many effects, and let pass the consideration of the principal, and most necessary?
A67781	what peace between the Believer and the Infidel?
A67781	who Adam- like, will receive what- ever comes, or is offered them?
A67781	who thought Mordecaies not bowing the knee to hi ●, a more heinous offence, then his own murthering of thousands?
A67781	who thought they might better murther Christ, then others believe in him?
A38031	1 How can Satan( saith he) cast out Satan?
A38031	34. our Saviour refers to the very Words of the Psalmist, saying, Is it not written in your Law, I have said, Ye are Gods?
A38031	Alas, What is TRUTH worth?
A38031	An Answer to Pilate''s Question, What is Truth?
A38031	An Answer to Pilate''s Question, What is Truth?
A38031	An answer to Pilate''s question, what is truth?
A38031	And again, Why take ye thought for Rayment?
A38031	And how joyful a Reflection must this needs be, that the Vertuous Acts of so many Persons are esteem''d as his own?
A38031	And if some of them can not or will not pay for their Bravery, how can it be expected, that those who are in Want should partake of their Alms?
A38031	And is it not a shame that we should learn of them how to behave our selves?
A38031	And that their Bodies may not be disproportionable to their Apparel, what cost are they at to repair and beautifie those houses of clay?
A38031	And then who will give heed to men of this cross- grain''d temper?
A38031	And what City like Tyrus now for its sudden but inevitable Calamity?
A38031	And what hinders now, that we should not make the like Deductions with reference to those Higher matters, which I before mention''d?
A38031	And what is the Reason?
A38031	And what though herein we tread in the Steps of the present Pope?
A38031	Are all your Ensigns of Authority, and Badges of Honour meer Pageantry?
A38031	Are the Works of God''s Providence unsearchable, and is not He himself so?
A38031	Are there several things done above their apprehensions, and shall they deny the Author of them to be above them?
A38031	Are we not on every side beset with Mistakes and False Notions?
A38031	Art thou not ashamed, when Nature hath made thee a Man, to make they self a Woman?
A38031	As that Egyptian( in † Plutarch) answer''d the men, who ask''d him, What it was that he carried so close Covered?
A38031	Besides, how often doth it happen that the Covetous and Ravenous Desires of Worldly Men are blasted by the just Judgment of God?
A38031	But I rather think that Pilate ask''d This Question in Contempt and Derision, I pray, Sir, What is the Right Definition of Truth?
A38031	But among them all there was none certainly that was in it self more Substantial and Useful than this, What is Truth?
A38031	But an Other Question then will arise, How shall we come to the Knowledg of the Truth?
A38031	But how can he punish Offences that commits them?
A38031	But if they will call their Anti- Scriptural Notions by the name of Reason, who can help it?
A38031	But is not this repugnant to the Prohibition of St. Paul in the Text, That Women should not adorn themselves with Gold or Pearls, or costly Aray?
A38031	Can Men of Prophaneness and Debauchery successfully defend a Reformed Religion?
A38031	Can a Rational Person be proud of that which was the effect of the Primitive Apostacy?
A38031	Can any of you that are sober and considerate, serious and religious, think that this is a Garb agreeable to this occasion?
A38031	Can they friendly Unite to do us Mischief, and shall not we as amicably Agree to hinder that Mischief?
A38031	Can those Forces prosper which are led forth against the Enemy with Oaths and Curses in their mouths?
A38031	Can you perswade your selves, that this Vanity and Pride become True Worshippers?
A38031	Do not our own Reason, Necessity, and the Cause it self require that we maintain an entire Concord?
A38031	Do not these tell you that as you are Distinguish''d from other Persons, so you ought to Excel and Surpass them?
A38031	Do they agree together against us, and shall not we do so against them?
A38031	Do we not daily see( and may we not lament it?)
A38031	Do you look like those that are offering your Petitions to the Almighty, and come hither to attend to his Voice?
A38031	Do you pretend to understand the Exact Notion of it?
A38031	For are not the Rules and Standards of Truth Easy and Intelligible?
A38031	For here I may say as our Saviour in another Case,* Are not ye much better than they?
A38031	For, do you think that you are to differ from others in Honour, and not in those things likewise which are of an higher Nature?
A38031	France lifts up its Bloody Weapons against us; and shall we at such a time Fight with one another?
A38031	God was not pleased to deliver all things with equal Evidence; and why then should we undertake to make every Thing Plain and Demonstrable?
A38031	God''s Decree, and Man''s Freedom, they will ask, How this can be?
A38031	Have we not Heavenly and Divine Knowledge to Exalt our Natural Notions?
A38031	How Vigorously and Concernedly should we act?
A38031	How are you to behave your selves?
A38031	How can we discern what is Truth by Consulting of Scripture, when as that is Dubious and Uncertain?
A38031	How can we imagine we should be able to grasp these things which consider''d in themselves are of so elevated a nature?
A38031	How is it an unerring Guide?
A38031	How is it that they stop at such a Stature and just Proportion?
A38031	How many Gallio''s are there of this Age which Care for none of those Things which are the Proper Work of their Place?
A38031	How many Magistrates sit with their Arms across, and Study to do Nothing?
A38031	How many are there that bear this Latter Chacter, who are too near of Kin to the Former?
A38031	How nice and exact are Vain persons in accoutring and furbishing themselves?
A38031	How often is the indulging of Superfluities punish''d with the Want of Necessaries?
A38031	How shall his Designs and Endeavours against Christ and his Kingdom be carried on?
A38031	How then shall we hope to have this Question assoil''d, and to know, What is Truth?
A38031	How unsearchable are the most common and obvious Operations of Nature?
A38031	How was Nicodemus( a Noted Master in Israel, and no mean Possessor of Reason) baffled with the Doctrin of Regeneration?
A38031	If God hath given it this Natural Decking, shall an Artificial one be unlawful?
A38031	If God* doth great things past finding out, why may not he be allow''d to speak such?
A38031	If Natural Knowledge be so Cloudy, is there not reason to believe the Divine and Heavenly to be much more so?
A38031	If contrary Sects and Parties quote it, and plead it, how can it be a fixed Standard of Truth?
A38031	If he ca n''t give an account of a sorry Insect, how shall he be able to unravel the Mysteries of our Faith?
A38031	If it be commend ● ble to curb and moderate the Concupiscible or ● rascible part, why not also to regulate and govern the Perceptive?
A38031	If the Socinians are not concern''d to answer the Difficulties about the former, what is the reason that they startle at the latter?
A38031	If the Will must be check''d, why must the Intellect be left uncontroulable?
A38031	If the nature of a Groveling Plant confounds us, how shall we be able to solve all the difficult Problems in Christianity?
A38031	If the † Iudgments of God are unsearchable, and his ways past finding out, is there not cause to believe, that God''s Nature and Essence are so too?
A38031	If they acknowledge that God acts many things which are above their understandings, why should they not own him to be what they can not comprehend?
A38031	If they are content to surrender this to the Divine Will, why are they against subjecting the other to the Divine Ligh ● and Discoveries?
A38031	If they ca n''t know what he doth, why should they expect to know what he is?
A38031	If they refuse to be Just, what hope is there that they will be Charitable?
A38031	If we are not able to find out the True System of the Material World, how can we apprehend the unspeakable nature of the Spiritual one?
A38031	If we can not, according to him, discover that God is, how shall we understand what he is?
A38031	If you ask, what it Truth?
A38031	If you be neglectful of God''s House, why should you look that he will prosper you in yours?
A38031	If you may adorn your Houses, and deck your Chambers, and trim up your Closets, why may not you do so to your selves?
A38031	If you will not find Time for God, how can you hope to have any Successful to your selves?
A38031	In such Circumstances how Careful and Watchful should we be?
A38031	Is it acceptable to look Heaven in the face with a Spotted visage?
A38031	Is it an unquestionable Truth that there is a Divine Management of all mundane affairs, though the particular administrations of it are inexplicable?
A38031	Is it any ways likely that one Fiend will dispossess another?
A38031	It was excellently said by another Brave Man, of a true primitive temper,* This question, How?
A38031	Let every one of us think that spoken to us, which the Good Christian said to the Philosopher, at the Council of Nice,* Ask not, How?
A38031	Let us fix upon our Minds that of the Devout Abbot of Claraval, What will our Canonical Ordination profit us if we live Vncanonically?

A38031	May not we then fear that we shall be so, having so many Achans in our Camp?
A38031	Must we go to the Roman Catholicks to be taught our Duty in this Point?
A38031	Now, from what hath been hitherto Discoursed, we may in some good measure be able not only to return an Answer to Pilates Question, What is Truth?
A38031	Or, to speak more generally, can that person be proud of Cloaths who considers what they cover?
A38031	Or, why are we Angry if others think some things are not so?
A38031	Particularly in the doctrine of the Trinity; why do they lean to their own understandings?

A67743	Yea, have you not strange conceits, and base thoughts of the best men?
A67743	Yea, if the feare of the Lord, as Solomon speakes, is the beginning of wisdome, how should they have wisdome, that have not the feare of the Lord?
A67743	Yea, who was his greatest enemy but his greatest friend, even one of his houshold- Chaplains?

A67743	though hee thrust himselfe into their company?
A67743	vaine, and unprofitable words?

A67743	what stuffe so pittifull, but hee can set a glosse upon it?
A67743	who is not an open or secret enemy to holinesse?
A67743	yea, have you not beaten off many from being religious by your scoffes and reproaches?
A67778	( I mean) thy soul; free?
A67778	1. and that God esteems of Faith above all other graces, deeds, or acts of thine?
A67778	19. that hee was able to say, Though I should walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evill: Why?
A67778	21. and as heartily and unfaignedly desire that thou maist never commit it, as that God should never impute it?
A67778	26. but even) the least parcell of Gods Word into thy mouth?
A67778	5. yet hee neglects coming for many days, lets him die, bee put in the grave untill hee stank; but what of all this?
A67778	Admit thou art a great sinner, what then?
A67778	Again, shall it ever enter into our hearts, to think that God gives us rules to keep, and yet break them himsef?
A67778	Alas, what can they do?
A67778	And Pope Adrian, who when hee was to dye; brake out into this expression: Oh my soul, whither art thou going?
A67778	And against whom hast thou exalted thy self?
A67778	And dost thou make thy slight sufferings an argument of his displeasure?
A67778	And doth her adversary vex her sore, year by year; and grievously upbraid her for it, so that she is troubled in her minde?
A67778	And have not some been detained( by a violent storme) from coming home, whereby they have been exempt from seeling the down- fall of their house?
A67778	And herein wee ● … re no worse, than C ● … st; Did not his Spirit pass from the Cross, into Paradice?
A67778	And how profitable is that affliction, which carrieth me to Heaven?
A67778	And in reason; did hee come to call sinners to repentance, and shall he not shew mercy to the penitent?
A67778	And indeed, how many have we known the better for their sin?
A67778	And lastly, shall our momentany sufferings be rewarded with everlasting glory?
A67778	And may not this comfort thee?
A67778	And see what cause he had so to say; what were these Arrows?
A67778	And the Apostles esteemed it a grace, to be disgraced for him: and shall we grumble, or think much at it?
A67778	And what though thou canst not powr out thy soul in a flood of words?
A67778	And when he hath leave from God, what can hee do?
A67778	And wherein does thy case differ?
A67778	And whether had you rather rejoice for one ● … it, or alwaies?
A67778	And why all this?
A67778	And why doth the goodness of our God pick out the most needfull times for our relief and comfort?
A67778	And yet thou exceptest thy self, hee excludes none; and dost thou exclude one, and that one thy self?
A67778	Are not your failings, your grief?
A67778	Are these stripes the chiefest tokens and pledges of God''s love and adoption?
A67778	Are thy sins great?
A67778	Are we bound to perform perfect obedience to the Law?
A67778	As what saith Luther of the whole Turkish Empire?
A67778	Ask not( saith Salvianus) why one is greater, another less; one wretched, another happy?
A67778	Besides, without some kinde of suffering, how shall your sincerity be approved?
A67778	But all the evill thou doest to the godly, is with thy tongue?
A67778	But how in this case?
A67778	But may some say, Can any good come out of such a Nazarite?
A67778	But tell me, hath not this roaring Lion prevailed against thy best part?
A67778	But to leave examples; and come to reason: Is it not an evident sign, that if the world hates thee, thou art none of the World?
A67778	But what hath been the answer of GOD alwaies to his children, in such their extasies, but this?
A67778	But what''s the reason?
A67778	But when will there bee an end of this long disease?
A67778	But who can measure thy goodnesse, who givest all, and forgivest all?
A67778	But why dost thou not altogether believe, that it is a blessed and happie thing thus to suffer?
A67778	Can not our enemies diminish one hair of our heads, without God''s special leave and appointment?
A67778	Did God and Belial joyn in fu filling the same act?
A67778	Did ever any sinner implore the forgiveness of his sins, which did not receiv full remission and pardon?
A67778	Did hee not without the Sun at the Creation, cause light to shine forth; and without rain, at the same time, make the earth fruitfull?
A67778	Did it ever repent Jacob, when hee came to inherit his Fathers blessing, that hee had indured a long exile, and tedious bondage?
A67778	Did not hee first descend into Hel, and then had his ascension?
A67778	Did not the sick ever receive their health?
A67778	Dost thou determine to continue in the practice of any one sin?
A67778	Dost thou not love rather to bee, than seem or bee thought good; and seek more the power of godliness, than the shew of it?
A67778	Doth Satan merit thanks?
A67778	Doth he make bloody wayls on the backs of his Children?
A67778	Doth not God onely gain glory by our sufferings?
A67778	Doth the rain and waters, or any other creature displease you?
A67778	For consider, doth the Lord say hee will extend his mercie unto all that come unto him?
A67778	For, what can be spoken more expresse, direct, and significant?
A67778	God used the malice of Pharaoh and Shimei unto good; what then?
A67778	Hast thou but thoughts and desires, and canst thou onely express them with sighs and groans?
A67778	Hast thou kept thy head whole?
A67778	Hath he promised that we shall not be tempted above our strength?
A67778	Hath this Lion yielded thee any Honey of Instruction, or Reformation?
A67778	Hath thy sin died with thy fame, or with thy health, or with thy peace, or with thy outward estate?
A67778	Heaven it self shall power down the food of Angels; have they no meat to their bread?
A67778	Hee sends his Serjeant 〈 ◊ 〉 arrest thee for thy debt; commands thee and all thou hast to bee 〈 ◊ 〉 But why?
A67778	Hee would have all men saved, and thou comest in with thy exceptive, All but mee; Why thee?
A67778	How can we but say, Let the World frown, and all things in it run cross to the grain of our mindes?
A67778	How is that?
A67778	How many?
A67778	How opportunely doth God provide succours to our distresses?
A67778	How rashly then hast thou judged of thy Makers dealing with thee?
A67778	If it bee asked why God reckons so highly of a sew sighs and groans?
A67778	If wee bee sick, and the Physician promises to visit us to morrow with his best relief; with what a tedious longing do wee expect his presence?
A67778	If you endure chastening, God offereth himself unto you, as unto sons: for what son is it whom the Father chastenith not?
A67778	Indeed, it was Pilates brag to Christ, knowest thou not that I have power to crucifie thee?
A67778	Is God more specially present with us in afflictions?
A67778	Lastly, look upon Lazarus, though Christs bosome friend?
A67778	Let him draw near, for I chiefly direct my speech unto him: Are afflictions and persecutions so necessary and profitable, as hath been shewed?
A67778	Neither wants hee ca ● … e; hee that numbers our very hairs, what account doth hee make of our souls?
A67778	Never were the Jews more to bee pitied, than when their Prophet delivered these words from the Lord, why should yee bee stricken any more?
A67778	Nor love, for if hee hath bought us with his blood, and given us himself, will hee deny us any thing that is good for us?
A67778	Now Lord it being thus with us, how can we expect that thou shouldest hear our praiers,& grant our requests?
A67778	Now if Saul or Doeg be instead of a Pestilence or Feaver; who can cavil?
A67778	Now if that bosom wherein we all look to rest, was assaulted with so many sore trials, and so diverse difficulties, is it likely we should escape?
A67778	Now instead of being overcome doest thou overcome?
A67778	Now the Tenant is more noble then the House; therefore why are we not more joyed in this, then dejected in the other?
A67778	Now what Son of Israel can hope for any good daies, when he heats his Fathers were so evill?
A67778	Now when so much was uttered, even by a none- such for his patience; what may we think he did feel, and indure?
A67778	Now why doth God by his promise tye himself to bee present with us; more especially in affliction?
A67778	O fool?
A67778	Oh, it is a good change, to have the fire of affliction for the fire of Hell: Who would not rather smart for a while, then for ever?
A67778	Or Joseph, when hee was once made Ruler in Egypt, that he had formerly been sold thither and there imprisoned?
A67778	Or which of Gods servants did ever repent that they had passed the apprentiship of their service here, and were now gon to be made free in glory?
A67778	Or wil hee provide for his Men and Maids, and let his own children starve?
A67778	Or, who would nor cast his burthen upon him, that doth desire to give ease?
A67778	Scriptures spoken by Christ, and his Apostles?
A67778	Shall wee slight all his blessings, because in one thing hee crosseth us, whereas his least mercy is beyond our best merit?
A67778	Suppose thy sufferings bee great, what then?
A67778	That thou hast great cause to rejoice and be glad that thou art counted worthi to suffer shame for Christs name?
A67778	The Lord hath forsaken us; thou hast cast off, and abhorred us: why hast thou forsaken mee& c.?
A67778	The Portugals w ● … ll rejoyce in soul weather why?
A67778	The lame, their limbes?
A67778	The meditation whereof may bee of some use to thee: Thales beeing asked how adversity might best bee born?
A67778	Therefore Bazil, when hee was offered money and preferments to tempt him, answered: Can you give me money that can last for ever?
A67778	Thou maist think so, but God will not do so; but in the mean time, how can this bee well taken?
A67778	Thou wouldest go the naturall Way to work, What shall I do to inherit eternall life?
A67778	Thy Praier is heard: When did he make this Praier?
A67778	To instance in some examples; Satan did nought touching Job, but what the Lord upon his request gave him leave to do; what then?
A67778	True, they appear not ordinarily, what then?
A67778	Was Lazarus for a time extream miserable?
A67778	Were none of his children ever exempted from the like?
A67778	What Fortifications or Bulwarks so strong and safe agaiest the affronts of Satan, and the World?
A67778	What demonstrations can be given more sollid?
A67778	What end is that?
A67778	What if the Lord for a time forbear coming, as Samuel did to Saul; that hee may try what is in thee?
A67778	What saith David?
A67778	What saith God to his people in their misery?
A67778	What shall I say?
A67778	What then?
A67778	What then?
A67778	What then?
A67778	What''s the reason?
A67778	When did God answer the hopes of Sarah, Rebeccah, Rachel, the wife of Manoah, and Elisabeth, touching their long and much desired issues?
A67778	When did Jacob see a Vision of Angels?
A67778	When did Moses find succour, but when his Mother could no longer hide him, and hee was put into the River among the Bull- rushes?
A67778	When did our Saviour heal the woman of her bloody issue?
A67778	When did we talk without vanity?
A67778	When had the Children of Israel the greatest victories, but when they feared most to bee overcome?
A67778	When was Hagar comforted of the Angell, but when her child was neer fanished, and shee had east it under a Tree for dead?
A67778	When was the Sareptan relieved?
A67778	Wherefore hast thou but a touch of sorrow for sin, a spark of hope, a grain of faith in thy heart?
A67778	Wherefore, as Jehoram said to Jebu, when hee marched furiously; Comest thou peaceably?
A67778	Who but Andronic ● … s, Emperour of the East for many years?
A67778	Who ever asked any thing of him which was profitable for him to receive, and did not obtain his suit?
A67778	Who is hee that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lordcommandeth it not?
A67778	Who is so melancholly, as the rich worldling?
A67778	Whom are you angry withal?
A67778	Whom hast thou blasphemed?
A67778	Why doth a Physician give more Wormwood, or Hellebore to this sick party, then to that?
A67778	Why should we not hate the Way to Hell, as much as Hell it self?
A67778	Why were they so long kept from it?
A67778	Will any make choyce of a weak Champion?
A67778	Will you take Saint Panls word for it, or rather Gods own word, who is Truth it self, and can not lie?
A67778	Worse than Josephs?
A67778	Yea, even when they were wandering in a forlorn wilderness, how did God as it were attend upon them in their distress, to supply their wants?
A67778	Yea, shall our glory be increased, as our sufferings have been more?
A67778	Yea, the onely Son of God came to this, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken mee?
A67778	Yet consider, did God forsake either of them?
A67778	and all Gods former favours?
A67778	and dost thou say, nay, but hee will not extend his mercy unto mee, hee will have mee to perish, because I am a grievous sinner?
A67778	and glory that may eternally flourish?
A67778	and shall bastards escape?
A67778	and what thou wilt do, or suffer for him, that hath done and suffered so much for thee?
A67778	and who sings so merry a note, as hee that can not change a groat?
A67778	and why the prayers of the faithfull are so powerfull?
A67778	and yet they were delivered; Or is thy case worse than that of Jonas in the Sea, yea, in the Whales belly?
A67778	and   why should we not make every cogitation, speech, and action of ours, as so many steps to Heaven?
A67778	are they not besides your will?
A67778	are they not contrary to the current of your desires, and the main bent of your resolutions, and indeavours?
A67778	are thy sins more and greater?
A67778	as what did our Saviour answer, when the people asked him, What shall wee do that wee might work the works of God?
A67778	as why did God set Noah about building the Ark an hundred and twenty years, when a small time might have finished it?
A67778	but do they also bring us to repentance, and amendment of l ● … fe?
A67778	doth hee deal thus with his Sons; what will hee do with his Slaves?
A67778	doth hee invite every one?
A67778	doth hee say I would have all men saved, and none to perish?
A67778	hee performed it for us: were wee for disobedience subject to the sentence of condemnation, the curse of the Law, and death of body and soul?
A67778	hee was condemned for us, and bore the curse of the law; hee died in our stead an ignominious death; did wee deserve the anger of God?
A67778	if hee do not answer us in every thing; shall wee take pleasure in nothing?
A67778	or doth Satan onely tell thee so?
A67778	or how great soever they bee?
A67778	or how long soever they continue?
A67778	shall to- days Ague, make us forget yesterdays health?
A67778	than Mary Magdulen, a common strumpet; possest of many Devills?
A67778	than Paul, a bloody pers ● … cutor of Christ and his Church?
A67778	than the Theef upon the Cross, who had spent his whole life to the last hour in abominable wickedness?
A67778	the blind their sight?
A67778	this heavie yoake of bondage?
A67778	this tedious affliction?
A67778	we hear without wearysomness?
A67778	when all the evill in a City, coms from the providence of a good God, which can neither bee impotent, nor unme cifull?
A67778	when did in himself an indisposition of mind to all good, and an inclination to all evill?
A67778	when did we give without hypocrisie?
A67778	when did we reprove without anger, or envy?
A67778	when did wee bargain without deceit?
A67778	when did wee pray without tediousness?
A67778	when hee was thrown into a Pit, and left hopeless; or when sold to the Ishmaelitish Merchants, and then cast into prison?
A67778	why doth he permit so many, and such notorious crimes?
A67778	why doth he punish the innocent, and acquit the peccant?
A67778	why is he so severe towards his own; so gentle to others?
A67778	why then should you give your self over, where your Physitian doth not?
A67778	yea, how can wee look for other at thine hands, then great and grievous, yea, then double damnation?
A33380	Aaron and all the High- Preists who succeeded him, were not they?
A33380	Abraham, the Father of the Faithful, as the Scripture calls him; was not he Married?
A33380	After all that, who can say that our Fathers could yet with any shadow of Reason hope for a Reformation on the part of the Popes and the Prelats?
A33380	And as for the rest, whether Stephen had in effect Excommunicated Saint Cyprian, or whether he had meerly threatned it, what is that to our Question?
A33380	And does not the History of Job introduce him as appearing before the Throne of God, to render the Piety of that Holy- man suspected?
A33380	And has not the sixth General Council condemned Pope Honorius as a Monothelite Heretick, with Sergius Patriaerch of Constantinople, and some others?
A33380	And if they did it without any right, and against their duty, into what Labyrinths we cast you?
A33380	And in how many points does not the Church of Rome find it self to differ at this day from them?
A33380	And might not the same thing fall out according to the pleasure and interest that the Pastors might take to see them establish''t?
A33380	And upon another occasion, Lord to whom shall we go?
A33380	And why ought they not?
A33380	And with what Conscience can men remain therein?
A33380	And yet how many Inconveniences are there that arise from all those things?
A33380	Are there no Jews, nor Pagans, nor Mahometans?
A33380	Are there no Profane or Atheistical persons in the World?
A33380	Are they Ministers of Jesus Christ?
A33380	At the Resurrection then, when men shall arise every one in his own order, what place do you imagine those men will find?
A33380	Besides, how do we come to believe there is a God?
A33380	But can they answer nothing to these last Reflexions that I have made?
A33380	But do not those Merchants pray to God in the form of their Religion, in what Countreys, and with what design soever they are?
A33380	But had they any Right to Labour in the Reforming of others?
A33380	But he has Taught us nothing of the like Power concerning the Pope and his Councils, he has not said, Who are you that contend against Rome?
A33380	But how can any be fully assured that it may not be so at present, otherwise then by the examining of her Doctrine?
A33380	But how can he be assur''d of that?
A33380	But how can those people have that certainty?
A33380	But how can, say they yet further, those good men preserve themselves in the midst of such a Society?
A33380	But is it not a very amazing thing, to see a people separate from the Body of those who possess the Offices of the Church?
A33380	But say they, Is the Ministry which you have that Antient and perpetual Ministry, that Jesus Christ has established in his Church, or is it a new one?
A33380	But their Curate and their Bishop may be mistaken, shall it be then from the Words of the Pope pronounc''d ex Cathedra?
A33380	But they will say, Are not you your self guilty of Fallacy, in perpetually supposing, as you do in this dispute, that you have Right at the Bottom?
A33380	But they will say, How can it be that Lay- men should make Ecclesiastical persons, and confer a power and an Authority which they have not themselves?
A33380	But they will say, How can they be forsaken, without resisting God himself, who has subjected them to them?
A33380	But they will say, may not a Church fall into that Condition, and yet for all that be a true Church?
A33380	But what Order can they hold in their Assemblies, since they have none to direct them Externally?
A33380	But what assurance have we of such a Miracle, or what promise can we find of it in the Scripture?
A33380	But what can they do in those Assemblies?
A33380	But what does the Name signify?
A33380	But what will you say he understands by that Church?
A33380	But when he is not, as the Senate of Zurich evidently was not, ought he to abandon all care of the Churches of his State?
A33380	But when was it that they might not have seen them appear?
A33380	But wherefore then would these Gentlemen have the People to read their Translation, since they are only private Doctors, and not the Church?
A33380	But who sees not, that this is precisely to acknowledge the right of that Separation, about which the question at present is?
A33380	But who shall tell them what that Universal Consent is?
A33380	But why do we use Arguments in a matter, in which experience has sufficiently instructed us?
A33380	But, say they, Is not this to introduce a private spirit into the Church, where we all ought to have but one same spirit, which is that of the Church?
A33380	But, say they, yet farther, Do you not believe that the Latin Prelates have a more clear light than you?
A33380	But, without going so far, is it not true that when Jesus Christ came into the World, he did not find a pure Church upon Earth?
A33380	Can he deny that the Priests did not heretofore ordain, as well as the Bishops?
A33380	Can they deny that our Kings have not often done the same in their Kingdome?
A33380	Could any one have more clearly contradicted the Author of the Prejudices?
A33380	Could they have alleadged the Miracles of Jesus and his Apostles?
A33380	Could they have complained of the Disorders and Corruptions that then reigned in the Jewish Church?
A33380	Could they have said that Jesus Christ and his Apostles had an extraordinary Call?
A33380	Could they have said that they had known out of the Scripture, out of Moses and the Prophets, that Jesus was the true Messiah?
A33380	Did not all that give a fair hope of a Reformation?
A33380	Did they not in that, sin against that respect which they owed to their Prelats, and that Charity which they owed to their Brethren?
A33380	Do not you know that we have all the Laws shut up within our own Breast?
A33380	Do you demand Miracles?
A33380	Do you require Temporal Prosperity?
A33380	Does not he know how to exaggerate our sins, and strongly to oppose our vain Excuses?
A33380	For I pray tell me what could any one have done better?
A33380	For he who sayes, Is it because we hold and follow that Doctrine?
A33380	For how can any man rationally determine himself, upon a point of that weight, without consulting the first and the most Antient piece of Tradition?
A33380	For how could they otherwise discern those Miracles of the false Prophets, but by examining their words?
A33380	For she has a Soveraign Authority over the Faith of her Children, a priviledge, that she can never err, and promises of a perpetual visibility?
A33380	For they demand of us whether it was Ordinary or Extraordinary?
A33380	For what could they have said, to which those others might not immediately have repli''d by the meer application of that Principle?
A33380	For what were all those things but just consequences of that Principle?
A33380	For what will they say to the Schisms that fell out so frequently in the Latin Church through the concurrence of Anti- Popes?
A33380	For who knows not what the ninth, tenth, and eleventh Centuries were, not to speak of those that followed them?
A33380	For why should he punish those who submitted themselves to their guides, whom they could do no otherwise, then obey?
A33380	For why should not every Society have right to say the same thing?
A33380	Had not God his Prophets and his Altars yet among them?
A33380	Had they not all their Guides, their Priests, those that offered up their Sacrifices, and their high Priests?
A33380	Has not the Potter of the Earth power out of one and the same clay to make one Vessel to honour, and another to dishonour?
A33380	Have they a Revelation, an immediate Illumination that instructs them?
A33380	How can you be the same Church?
A33380	How can your Ministers be Successours to those who were at that time Bishops, Arch- Bishops, Cardinals, Patriarchs, and Popes?
A33380	How could a people that ought themselves to undo the false prepossessions, with which they had been imbued, serve for the Rule of a Reformation?
A33380	How could any know those Impostors and those Hypocrites, who come in Sheeps cloathing but inwardly are ravening Wolves?
A33380	How could it be possible, that during such gloomy times, Religion, Faith and Worship, should be preserved without any alteration?
A33380	How many of our Judges are there, who Judge us every day, without our finding any inconvenience or ill in it?
A33380	How many times is that Obedience, that Respect and that Submission recommended to Children to give to their Fathers, in the Scriptures?
A33380	How then are the Actions of the Ministry necessary?
A33380	How then ought we to be Christians?
A33380	How then, can any one say the True Church is always Visible, and always discernable to all men?
A33380	I see it, but who told him, That they did it by vertue of a general Law that forbad Bishops to be Married?
A33380	If any demand of us what is that perpetual Voice that we ascribe to them?
A33380	If he said to him, Feed my sheep, did he not say to all in common, Go, and teach all Nations?
A33380	If he said to him, Strengthen thy Brethren, is it not a common duty, not only to the Apostles, but to all the Faithful?
A33380	If then they have called the Father of the Family Beelzebub, what will they not say of his Servants?
A33380	If you look on those of Berea as being yet Jews, had they not their ordinary Pastors who had before condemned Jesus Christ, and all his Doctrine?
A33380	If, say they, it be possible for the Church to err, why do we call it holy, as we do in the Creed; I believe the Holy Catholick Church?
A33380	Indeed into what errours and superstitions did not those Churches fall?
A33380	Is it a Negative or a Positive Worship?
A33380	Is it because that the Church has bid us do so?
A33380	Is it because the Church tells us so?
A33380	Is it because they have recommended those Books to posterity?
A33380	Is it because those Americans before these last Ages were not men, or is it because they were not bound to work out their own Salvation?
A33380	Is it because we hold and follow that Doctrine?
A33380	Is it necessary then that we should doubt whether there be a God or not?
A33380	Is it not written, That the New Jerusalem has twelve foundations, wherein the names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb are written?
A33380	Is it simply a customary Worship, which consists in making use of those representations to excite their Piety, by the remembrance of things past?
A33380	Is it that the Scripture in that ascribes to their Fathers an Infallibility?
A33380	Is it that the same that they give to those they represent, should be communicated to the Image as well as the Original?
A33380	Is it therefore after that manner that he would have us believe Transubstantiation, the Real presence, Purgatory, The Sacrifice of the Mass?
A33380	Is it, sayes he, that the Traditors have composed Books, to shew, that we ought to do, or imitate their action?
A33380	Is it, that their Christianity was from the beginning, different from that of the Latin''s?
A33380	Is not the Devil called in Scripture, The Accuser of the Faithful?
A33380	Is not this to condemn that which the Scripture praises?
A33380	Isaac, Jacob, and the twelve Patriarchs who founded the Church of Israel, were not they?
A33380	It is not very natural that those sorts of pretences should come in to the succours of a burthened Conscience?
A33380	It is therefore this Church of which he means to speak?
A33380	May he not err in approving those things which he ought not to approve, and in taking for Infallible a Council, which was really deceived?
A33380	May not the Devil speak Truths in Accusing us?
A33380	Moses the deliverer of the Antient People, by whom God gave his Law, and by whom he had wrought so many Miracles, was not he?
A33380	Must Injustice needs Triumph over Justice, and Error over Truth?
A33380	Must we learn it from that Tradition it self?
A33380	Must we never be certain, because our Eyes deceive us somtimes, and because we are not Infallible?
A33380	My Tears have been my meat Day and Night, while they say unto me, Where is now thy God?
A33380	Or to speak better, was there nothing that could any ways stagger them, or hold the minds of all honest men in suspence, for so much as one moment?
A33380	Pelagius his Successor received his Ordination at the hands of two Bishops and a Priest of Ostia named Andrew?
A33380	Quid si novella aliqua contagio non jam portiunculam, sed totam pariter Ecclesiam commaculare conetur?
A33380	Saint Paul has said indeed, Who art thou O man that repliest against God?
A33380	Shall it be the Scripture that must give Testimony to that Tradition?
A33380	Shall the thing formed, say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
A33380	Should they have it from the Scripture?
A33380	Should we then have nothing of certainty in that matter?
A33380	Since immediately after he adds, Is it that the Traditors have instituted some new Sacraments, or some new Baptism?
A33380	Suppose we, that we ought to Judge of a Reformation by the persons that make it, what may not be said against this here?
A33380	Tell me I pray yet once more, whether the Jew had not had some Reason of his side?
A33380	Tell me I pray, whether that discourse would have been very proper for the Conversion of that Jew?
A33380	Tell us what means of Unity would you have beyond that, to hinder men from dividing themselves?
A33380	That he said to him alone, When thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren, because that he alone had given a sad experience of humane weakness?
A33380	That there is none that could say to him, why dost thou do that?
A33380	Therefore God said to the wicked in Isaiah, When you come to appear- before me, who has required this at your hands to tread my Courts?
A33380	They demand of us who our Reformers were?
A33380	This Du Prat, was he not as great a Prelate, as a S. Hilary of Poictiers, a S. Martin of Tours, a S. German of Auxerre, and as a S. Lupus of Troye?
A33380	To what purpose are all these goings about?
A33380	To whom should we go?
A33380	Was Paul crucified for you, or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
A33380	Was there any thing in the World of greater concernment then those things which I have set down?
A33380	Were they not all united in one Religious Society?
A33380	What Bishop have we now a days that Preaches, or has any care of the Souls committed to him?
A33380	What Bishop is there, adds he, who does not more love to be a rich Lord and Honoured in the World, then to help the poor?
A33380	What can any find to blame in all that?
A33380	What can be said, more weighty?
A33380	What can the Author of the Prejudices say to defend himself from this Manifest Contradiction which he discovers between him and his Colleague?
A33380	What can they answer to that?
A33380	What could our Fathers say to that Divine power that the Flatterers of the Popes attributed to them?
A33380	What could our Fathers say to that Simony which was every where openly exercised in the Church of Rome in all things?
A33380	What could our Fathers say to those strange Declarations of some Popes?
A33380	What could our Fathers think of such a dreadful confusion, which they knew not how to undo, unless by supposing a perpetual Miracle?
A33380	What does he then desire I should do?
A33380	What does that signifie?
A33380	What is it that the Author of the Prejudices can blame in that Conduct?
A33380	What is there extraordinary in all that?
A33380	What is there here that may deserve any blame?
A33380	What is there in Heaven above an Angel?
A33380	What is there in all that, that may not be the Motion of a good Conscience?
A33380	What is there in the Church beyond an Anathema?
A33380	What means the Apostle, sayes he, by these words, lest Satan should get an advantage over us, for we are not ignorant of his devices?
A33380	What might not those unbelievers have said against those who were Converted?
A33380	What need we to do more to set down this truth in its full evidence, and to give the Author of the Prejudices entire satisfaction?
A33380	What ought we to do, sayes he, when some new contagion endeavours to infect not one part only, but the whole Body of the Church in general?
A33380	What principle of Unity would they give us, to settle all in the same thoughts, in that search which they should make of the true Church?
